Luis Goytisolo - Alternately modern and historical, Recuento displays intelligent realism, emotional gravity, profane beauty, brute vulgarity, sweeping rhetorical scope, and seamless transitions through long, streaming passages of narrative and introspection
Luis Goytisolo, Recounting: Antagony Book I, Trans. by Brendan Riley, Dalkey Archive Press, 2017.
Recounting surveys the social history of Barcelona and Catalonia, primarily since the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. The novel follows the youth and education of Raúl Ferrer Gaminde, son of a well-connected, middle-class Catalan family that embraces Franco and Spanish Nationalism. The novel's potent drama plays out through Goytisolo's crisp, forceful presentation of youth, humor, optimism, rebellion, violence, sexual awakening, indulgence, punishment, and the realization of one's artistic vocation. Alternately modern and historical, Recuento displays intelligent realism, emotional gravity, profane beauty, brute vulgarity, sweeping rhetorical scope, and seamless transitions through long, streaming passages of narrative and introspection.
With its enormous ambition, Antagonía is, without doubt, one of the highest points in the history of Spanish literature. Recognised quickly as a masterpiece, this extraordinary novel still remains unknown for many readers today due to the misunderstandings that came from the decision to originally publish the novel in four parts. Therefore, this new edition is immensely valuable, as it offers for the first time, the novel as it was supposed to be read: as an undivided whole. Antagonía begins with a 'retelling' of the life of Raúl Ferrer Gaminde up to them moment when he decides to become a writer. The book then investigates his life as such, through his notes, writings, dreams and fantasies. As a counterpoint to this tale, the narrative steps back and looks at Raúl and the world he inhabits to end up becoming a 'Theory of knowledge', which is in fact the novel that the protagonist is writing. A novel within a novel, Antagonía becomes one of the most profound investigations ever undertaken into the nature of literary creation. «The best novel written in Spain—and I almost said 'in Spanish'—in a long time» - Guillermo Cabrera Infante
«One of the most important and truly original works of contemporary Spanish literature» - Pere Gimferrer
«The most ambitious literary experiment in the recent history of Spain» (Rafael Conte).
«A magnificent human comedy, and one of the most ambitious and effective literary events of the post-war that deserves to be considered one of the best novels of the past century... Goytisolo's innovation resides in his lucid perception of the new frontiers of the genre, which he rescues from its conventional incarnation as a Stendhalian mirror on a journey, or from a constructed realism. I have underlined for a long time a powerful idea already visible in Recuento that Raúl presents as an exalted happiness that consists in overcoming a copy of the world to create an autonomous reality sufficient in itself. Literature, according to Raúl, is not a game, but a struggle for a new reality, created by the foundational power of the word… An unusual capacity to investigate life in the middle of a verbal and technical skill, through a plurality of perspectives that include the essay, an ironic distancing and personal testimony. Without, also, losing interest in a rich anecdotal material … The long process of gestation and the distanced appearance of the author's books have stopped us from valuing the extraordinary historical significance of this novel» (Santos Sanz Villanueva, El Mundo).
«This monumental, classic work of realist criticism of late Francosim and the Transition to democracy has not lost any relevance; on the contrary, read today it gives us a Proustian distance that allows us to better consider a difficult historical moment. It is extremely gratifying to find that this collection maintains the colloquial vivacity of its dialogues, the interest in the story and the psychological profile of its protagonists. It includes a generational portrait of the children of the post-war… A calculated rebellion, the reconsideration of possible novelistic languages, individuality subjected to the vagaries of of time and of a country and the meta-literary option that confuses life and literature, which constitutes some of the best aspects of this unprecedented work... A writer capable of a titanic effort that joins the personal with the historical. The perfect gateway to understanding Spain in the second half of the XXth Century» (Jesús Ferrer, La Razón).
«Antagonía is essential… A colossal work that puts the entire life of its protagonist into the novel. It's a novel about novels, about writing, the story of the entire life of its protagonist, of a generation, of a society, of a historical moment that has been happily recovered by Anagrama» (Fátima Uribarri, La Gaceta de los Negocios).
«As Ignacio Echevarría says, Antagonía is one of the great novels of the XXth Century, but it is much more than a novel. I'm not sure if it is a novel to keep on the bedside table and to dip into every now and then, when we're ready, lucid, brilliant, with time on our hands. Or to leap into with a dagger between your teeth, jumping in with passion and audacity and not stopping until you get everything out of it and truly understand it. In whatever way, like Joyce's Ulysses or Proust's In search of lost time, like many others—or few others—you shouldn't die without having read it» (Antonio Martínez Asensio, blog Tiempo de silencio, Antena3.com). - www.anagrama-ed.es/foreign-rights/book/narrativas-hispanicas/antagonia/9788433972378/NH_500
One of the next year's most significant literary events is the publication of Brendan Riley's translation of Book I of Luis Goytisolo's massive tetralogy Antagony (Antagonía), which will be coming out in two volumes from Dalkey Archive Press. Here is what Mario Vargas Llosa writes about this epic novel that has taken its author twenty years to write:
Besides being an ambitious and complex book, difficult to read due to the protoplasmic configuration of the narrative matter, it is also an experiment intended to renew the content and the form of the traditional novel, following the example of those paradigms which revolutionalised the genre of the novel or at least tried to do so — above all Proust and Joyce, but, also James, Broch and Pavese –, without renouncing a certain moral and civic commitment to historical reality which, although very diluted, is always present, sometimes on the front stage, sometimes as the novel's backdrop.Antagony consists of four parts: Recuento (Recounting); Los verdes de mayo hasta el mar (The Greens of May Until the Sea); La colera de Aquiles (The Wrath of Achilles); and Teoria de Conocimiento (Theory of Knowledge). It is a Künstlerroman telling the story of middle-class Catalan Raúl Ferrer Gaminde over the period starting with the immediate aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and finishing with the final years of Francisco Franco's dictatorship. The first three parts are dedicated to the the life of the protagonist bent on becoming a writer: we follow his social, artistic, and political development since childhood and up to maturity when he fulfills his ambition by writing a novel called Theory of Knowledge which makes up the final part of the tetralogy. However, this is not a microscopic exploration of an individual fate — Antagony is much more than that. We get to know many other characters, we learn about the social and cultural ambiance of Barcelona during that period, about all the major upheavals experienced by Catalonia and its people in the course of the dictatorship. There are detailed and exquisite descriptions of rural and urban landscapes (Barcelona is represented with an unforgettable flair and verve), learned discussions on literature, politics, and sex, as well as set-in analytical pieces examining a wide variety of topics such as ancient philosophy, religion, art, mythology, architecture and, of course, the novel. For the appreciators of long serpentine sentences this novel is a veritable eldorado: any Sebald fan will feel at home in the intricacies of Luis Goytisolo's syntax. First and foremost, it is a novel for those who have already been spoilt by the virtuosity of some of the greatest stylists of the 20th century and are not willing to settle for anything short of the brilliance brought into being by the pen of Marcel Proust or Hermann Broch. It is exhilarating to the point of vertigo to realise that this tremendous gap will be finally filled: Antagony will find a grateful audience among English-language readers.
There is only one English-language review of the tetralogy that I know of, which is available at The Modern Novel, one of the largest resources on contemporary world literature on the web. If you haven't done it yet, I encourage you to explore this site. You can also read a brief description of the novel along with the high praise by such acclaimed authors as Guillermo Cabrera Infante and Pere Gimferrer on the foreign rights page of Antagony at the website of its Spanish publisher Anagrama.

Texture and Colour
A little bit more about the "Texture" piece I posted earlier.
I went into my sewing room and hunted out every piece of white fabric I could find! I had 18 different fabrics until I realised that one of them was fusible web that had lost its paper! Not happy! That makes 17. I have used everything from Pure silk to a beautiful silk/cotton blend, etching plate cleaning cloth (a really loose cheese cloth). Pure cotton and linen to poly blends and rayon. I think there is acetate in there too! the only fibre missing is wool.
No there is wool in there too - wool batting and cotton batting.
I tray dyed it last night, with a 1 meter piece of cotton scrunched up under it! I used three Procion MX dyes, Raspberry, Golden Yellow and Forest Green. I'm amazed how much the colour has changed the total effect!
I love it! Now to work out how to stitch it to make use of that colour!

They look so luxurious..
One question did you need to take any extra care or change your method for the silk as opposed to the cotton? I am going to try dyeing silk and have only ever done cotton. Would like to use the procion dyes as I have a ton of them.

Another meaningless walk to the grindstone. The same anxiety crawling up inside my stomach. My fourth soul destroying job.
This current job is behind a bar at a pub quite near my place in town.
In order to get into the till at work, each member of the bar staff has a till key (how twee), which clip onto your trousers and extends once pulled - so that you can key yourself into the till and make a transaction. Each person's key has their name built into it, so that when you key into the till, your name pops up. This is so they can tell who did what transaction, who made what fuck up. Sometimes I use other people's till keys: "ALEX", "CHARLIE", "BEV". Mine comes up as "SPARE".
My favourite thing to do when no punters are looking is pull the till-key this way and that, extending and looping it around my fingers. Yes, this is the most exciting part of my day.
"Another pint please, love", comes the same cockney screech from our most regular local, Cliff. He has a pint of London Pride, but served in a John Smith's glass, as he insists this gives him another few millimetres of ale. Honestly, who gives a shit?
I untangle my fingers from my till-key and smile, before fumbling for a pint glass.
It is 9pm, about the time when my boss's and married couple Henry and Lucy, begin to drink the night away.
"It's our night off", they say, "we've just been working so hard – need a break. You understand, right, honey?"
I nod and smile again, desperate to kiss some managerial ass. It's always their fucking night off.
"By the way," Henry says, "What's this I hear about you being in a band?" I blush. I have been in a small band for some time now but had avoided mentioning it at work to steer clear from the tedium of explaining something that would make me sound like a musical snob.
The reason I adored the band so much was because I was in love with singing, and always have been. Despite my lack of self confidence, I'd managed to hold myself together for quite a few gigs. In this band I felt foolish but wonderful.
Henry probes and questiones me until I spill my guts about every detail of the band; its members, our genre, who plays what, who our influences are (I don't even know), when our next gig is, all that musical 'blah blah' that makes me feel like a child being asked about school by a distant aunt.
Then, he asks something that frankly, I couldn't answer:
"And why are you in the band?"
"Well," I say, "…well…the publicity is good so we get a lot of gigs."
"Why are you in the band?" He asks again.
"I think…I think sometimes it's nice to…"
"Why are you in the band?" a third time.
His wife, Lucy, looks at him and rolls her eyes.
"Don't worry love", she says, "He's doing the whole 'music industry' question on you." Henry used to be in the music business, managing bands and the like. I wish I'd known this before he'd given me the fucking third degree.
I slam down the pint I am pouring and run out of the back, not stopping until I reach the door to the pub's kitchen. My hands are shaking and sweating and I feel a need to keep swallowing, as if when I don't, some awful combination of fear and the thoughts of my band will surge up through my throat and spew out through the gaps in my teeth.
It is here that I realise, in the back of this grotty pub, that even this band, even singing, is just another way of passing the time. Like biting your nails, foreplay, turning the clocks back, or keeping a diary. All these things just add up to nothing.
And if your stupid dream can't satisfy you, can't make you happy, then what the hell can?
I pull at my till key, reassuring myself by wrapping its string around my fingers a few times. I swallow one last gulp and walk back into the pub, smiling through the realisation.

ESTRAGON: Any sign of Vincent yet?
VLADIMIR: No. Perhaps he didn't get our letter.
ESTRAGON: Fancy having to call him "Your Eminence" just like a real cardinal.
VLADIMIR: He is a real cardinal.
ESTRAGON: Oh. I thought that was a joke. Like Kasper.
Waiting for Vincent.
VLADIMIR: It doesn't have to be Vincent. One of the other bishops would do.
ESTRAGON: Even Smiffy. Or Conry.
VLADIMIR: No, not Conry. But one of the others.
ESTRAGON: So I told Vincent, "All you have to do..."
VLADIMIR: All he has to do...
ESTRAGON: "... is sort out Tina Beattie."
Tina - needs sorting out.
VLADIMIR: Give a moral lead.
ESTRAGON: Explain Catholic teaching to her.
VLADIMIR: Professor of Catholic Studies. Theological adviser to CAFOD.
ESTRAGON: Trustee of the Tablet...
VLADIMIR: Let's stick to her Catholic credentials, shall we?
ESTRAGON: Sorry. Now what was Vincent going to tell her?
VLADIMIR: Abortion is bad. Wrong. Sinful. Immoral.
ESTRAGON: That's not our team, is it?
VLADIMIR: No, no, we want babies to live. Humans of all ages.
Admittedly, not all babies are sweet.
ESTRAGON: Even teenagers?
VLADIMIR: Yes even teenagers have a right to live.
ESTRAGON: Being Catholic is tough sometimes.
VLADIMIR: Of course the Polish bishops will probably write to her.
ESTRAGON: They'll say: Czemu nie pójdziesz i trzymać głowę w toalecie?
VLADIMIR: I didn't know you spoke Polish. What does it mean?
ESTRAGON: Why don't you go and stick your head down the toilet?
VLADIMIR: Look, I only asked...
ESTRAGON: No, that's what it means. "Why don't you go and stick your head down the toilet?"
VLADIMIR: Do bishops say that sort of thing?
ESTRAGON: Think of it as offering a baptism.
VLADIMIR: Washing away her sins.
ESTRAGON: Vincent will say that when he turns up.
Missing person.
VLADIMIR: How long have we been waiting now?
ESTRAGON: For a moral lead?
VLADIMIR: Yes.
ESTRAGON: Six years.
VLADIMIR: Not long now, then...

Manuscript Consulting
Through consulting with me, you will recognize the strengths and weakness of your manuscript, what its most compelling focus and corresponding structure is, and what revisions are needed.
I have been a manuscript consultant and editor for over twenty years. I prefer face-to-face consults but if you live at a distance, we can make that work too. Manuscript development and substantive editing are my most sought-after skills. I also do line edits and copy editing on creative nonfiction manuscripts, nonfiction (essays, memoir, etc.), poetry, mixed genre and experimental fiction manuscripts.
Why work with Betsy?
Writers and authors with whom I've done manuscript development and editing have gone on to publish books, and to win, or be shortlisted for, prizes such as these:
- Griffin Award
- B.C. Book Award
- Pat Lowther Award
- Writers' Trust Award
- Great B.C. Novel Contest
- CBC Literary Competition
- City of Victoria Butler Award
- Maritimes Poets' Corner Award
- Trillium Book Award of Toronto
- Surrey Writers' Guild International Competition

Choose from three types of manuscript assessment consults or a manuscript development consult
1. Initial mini-assessment and consultation
I read, assess and write editorial comments and suggestions on a portion of your manuscript OR selection from your body of work that may be the basis for a manuscript. Then we have a consultation to discuss my suggestions for how you can move forward with your revisions. You then continue to work independently.
3. Initial full assessment, consultation and editing to finished draft
I read, assess and write editorial comments and suggestions on your manuscript and we meet to discuss how you can proceed with revisions and additional writing. I usually do detailed line edits on a portion of the manuscript to illustrate improvements needed throughout.
I repeat the process once you have given me your rewrite. At this point, if needed, I proceed with substantive edits, structural suggestions and and I do line edits throughout the manuscript. The number of these rounds, and their frequency, is up to you. The goal is usually to bring the manuscript to finished draft. In this arrangement, I often advise on the publishing process.
2. Initial full assessment and consultation
I read, assess and write editorial comments and suggestions on your manuscript OR your entire body of work that may be the basis for a manuscript. Then we have a consultation to discuss the focus and structure of your manuscript and what my suggestions are for how you can move forward with your revisions and new writing that is required. You then continue to work independently.
4. Manuscript development consultation
We meet and I ask you a number of questions about your manuscript idea, then suggest how you might begin writing. Sometimes, prior to the consult discussion, a writer will send me a few pages of writing that example what she or he is interested in finding out how to develop more.
Or, another approach is when I read from a broad range of your writing, then we discuss the pieces of writing I find most compelling and I suggest how you can generate more writing.
You then either work independently or continue to work with me.
Having had the good fortune to work with Betsy Warland on my first two manuscripts, I can happily recommend her. She has an amazing ability to shape a manuscript beautifully, carefully, successfully, whether that manuscript is a collection of poetry, a work of non-fiction or mixed genre. Blessed with unique literary vision and sensibility, she is simply one of the best. Both my manuscripts were subsequently published and one of them won an important award!

I believe part of the reason they were built was to "make work" for armory workers with no supply expenses, only labor.

Line Breeding
From Leopard Gecko Wiki
Line Breeding
When Line Breeding occurs, it is when Leopard Geckos who have a visual trait in common are bred together to get a desired look.
An example of Line Breeding would be SHTCT's. When breeding SHTCT's, the orangest of the orange are bred together to create hatchlings who have more orange than the parents.

California Institute of the Arts
How did you choose your instrument?
I decided to take up violin at the age of seven after little interest in piano lessons for a year. I think even back then, I was drawn by the brilliance, lyricism, and range of sounds that the instrument is capable of.
What piece are you most excited to play this coming season?
The one piece I am most excited to perform with AYS this season is Mahler 5. At every rehearsal, I immerse myself to its sweeping lines, glorious sound, contrast of density, and the whole spectrum of emotions that Mahler has laid out for us.
What have you learned from AYS so far and what are you hoping to gain from AYS in the future?
Leading up to my first concert with AYS, I have already strengthened skills of collaborative playing, attention to detail, and sharper response to the conductor's interpretation. Going forward, I would love to work on developing leadership skills as well.

It's hot. It's sunny. It's still a great time to add plants to your summer garden that you might have missed. Whether you have bare spots, colorless corners or simply want a new addition, we've got you covered. At The Growing Place we have beautiful, colorful plants just waiting for you to take them home. Check out some of our teams' favorites below as we head into our greenhouses to find just a few of the many annual and perennial gems.
Looking for funky colored foliage in a low-maintenance plant? Then this is perfect for you! Coleus' multi-colored, stunning leaves are perfect for adding a pop of color to those drab, dark areas. They come in a huge variety of leaf size and color. In addition, some are more upright while others trail, making them an extremely versatile plant. There are coleus for both sunny and shady spots and they need fertile well-drained soil.
Verbena bonariensis
Clusters of tiny violet flowers are supported by strong stems on this striking plant that attracts butterflies. Towering at 2-4 feet tall, this Verbena is ideal in gardens where it can act as a filler and provide a gentle pop of color. Works well in containers too. Plant in sun to part shade and water when the soil surface is slightly dry. This plant drinks a lot!
Lantana Bandana 'Sunrise Rose' in Party Pots!
A classic favorite. This brightly-colored, tightly clustered flowering plant is fun, festive and screams summer. Did you know we call all our summer crops "Party Pots" because their larger size helps you quickly add pops of color--perfect for when you're throwing a party! Lantana works well in a container, hanging basket or in your garden and pollinators love it too. Mike Stelter, Annual Production Team, is a Lantana enthusiast. "They're low-maintenance, don't get too easily stressed, and thrive in hot and dry conditions," Stelter said. "They're vibrant, aromatic, and the foliage, along with any other summer colors, always looks great to me in a garden or container."
Asclepias tuberosa
Also known as Butterfly Weed, this vibrant orange, sun or part-shade plant is a pollinator's dream, as a host plant and food source for Monarchs and as a nectar source for all butterflies! It also makes a great accent or border plant too. Austin Hartline, Perennial Production Team, is a big fan. "It's an 'easy-to-care-for' plant that attracts butterflies for your enjoyment and viewing pleasure," Hartline said. "What's not to love!?" TGP also carries several perennial varieties like Common Milkweed and Swamp Milkweed as well as the annual variety. So you can find the perfect accent color for your garden and help feed the butterflies.
Buddleia 'Evil Ways' and 'Nanho Blue'
Butterflies can't resist these remarkable varieties of Buddleia, better known as Butterfly Bush. Drooping, rich-colored flowering spikes stand out in a garden against a multitude of plants. In addition, these varieties are drought tolerant and while they will grow from Zone 5 to Zone 9, they will do best in a protected area because of our harsh Chicago winters. Don't forget it's not too late to help those pollinators out before fall rolls around.

They're really, really famous and cool because they used to play with Michelle Josef, the legendary drummer formerly known as Bohdan Hluszko.
Back then, Bohdan was a guy.
But then, he underwent that sex-change operation in 1997 and Prairie Oyster fired him because they worried it was too controversial for their fans.
And then their fans got mad at them anyway for being mean to a transgender person.
But all of this is more than you wanted to know, right?
It's just our roundabout SooToday.com way of getting around to telling you that tickets are still available for Friday night's Prairie Oyster concert at the Best Western on Great Northern Road.
To order your tickets now, please click here.
The following is Prairie Oyster's official biography:
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.
Those words from another Canadian musical great certainly ring true for the fans of Prairie Oyster, who were eager for a new album from their honky-tonk heroes.
Thing is – the band never went away.
But the gap between their records has shown how invaluable their contribution to Canadian roots music has been.
Now, the wait is over.
Prairie Oyster is back and their new album, One Kiss, finds them at the very peak of their form.
With more than 30 years under their well-worn belt, the band has amassed twelve new songs that are arguably their best work of their illustrious career.
Their eighth record (and OpenRoad debut), One Kiss is the sound of lifelong friends getting together to make music for all the right reasons.
It's relaxed, intimate and as comfortable as your favourite woolen sweater – mirroring the creative environment established by the group.
This is the first fully self-produced Prairie Oyster album and they clearly thrived on this challenge.
The project came together at Audio Valley, guitarist Keith Glass' own top-of-the-line recording studio in Perth, Ontario.
"Half the band was staying in my house," explains Keith, "we'd just go up the street to the studio in the morning and do it when we felt like it. There were no real time restraints, and I think the results speaks to that."
"Doing this totally on our own was great," adds lead vocalist/bassist Russell deCarle. "I'm really proud of the fact it went so smoothly. I believe this is our best record to date, in terms of the collection of songs and the playing."
Keyboardist Joan Besen seconds these sentiments: "This was the easiest record to make as we weren't answerable to anyone at any level of decision-making. There was no outside agenda here."
Joining the core Prairie Oyster lineup of Keith, Russell, Joan, John P. Allen (fiddle) and Dennis Delorme (pedal steel) were drummer John Adames, Frank Barth (trombone) and Chris Whiteley (trumpet) and special guests including Don Reed (fiddle) and Jacksoul's Haydain Neale (guest vocal on High Water).
One Kiss was mixed by one of North America's best engineers, L.Stu Young (Prince, David Wilcox), an old friend of the band who'd worked on their breakthrough 1991 album Everybody Knows.
One Kiss is an artistic triumph that wraps up the manifold strengths of Prairie Oyster into one irresistibly charming package.
The band covers more bases than baseball, incorporating traditional country, western swing, folk, bluegrass, rock 'n' roll, blues, Tex-Mex, and gospel flavours with a graceful ease.
From the haunting Too Bad For Me through to the Oysterized takes on classics like Mona Lisa and Bob Dylan's Threw It All Away to their fresh originals One Kiss, Open Up Your Heart (a classic Oyster shuffle), I Wish I'd Never Known Love, and Short Time Here – the band never put a foot out of step on this stellar 12-song collection.
During their hiatus, Keith put out a solo album, Straight Ahead in 2002 and is now in demand as a producer.
Russell has been writing and singing with the Be-Bop Cowboys (as well as working on a solo album), and Joan has worked with such artists as songsmith David Celia and took over the co-producer's role for band mate John P. Allen's 2005 solo record, The Canadian Fiddle (Violin).
The pigeonhole-proofed Prairie Oyster has never been swayed by prevailing musical trends and their never-wavering musical integrity helps account for both their longevity and the deep affection with which they are viewed by roots music lovers across Canada and beyond.
Those fans include the legendary Merle Haggard, Los Lobos' Steve Berlin (who produced their 1990 disc Different Kind Of Fire), and Doug Sahm.
Their early '90s albums Different Kind Of Fire, Everybody Knows, and Only One Moon scored major commercial success in Canada (platinum-plus for Everybody Knows) and serious critical acclaim in the United States.
A series of radio hits and a trophy case of industry awards followed.
A tally of six Juno Awards, eleven CCMAs, and fourteen RPM Big Country Awards has solidified their reputation as Canada's premier roots music ensemble.
It is Prairie Oyster's music, not their impressive history that speaks most eloquently.
A listen to One Kiss will guarantee you fall in love with it all over again.

BBC Radio 2 with Mike Harding featuring Martin Simpson
Wed 23 January, 7pm
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Strathclyde Suite
Twice named as Musician of the Year at the Radio 2 Folk Awards, English guitarist and singer Martin Simpson has won almost universal admiration over the course of his 30-year career.
Equally informed by British and American influences, including Martin Carthy, Davy Graham, Blind Willie Johnson and Doc Watson, his immaculately controlled synthesis of fingerstyle and slide techniques, together with his subtly eloquent singing, find expression in a diverse transatlantic range of traditional, contemporary and original material.
His most recent release, 2007's 'Prodigal Son', was variously described as 'a quiet masterpiece' by Observer Music Monthly, 'magnificent' by the Telegraph, and 'his all-round best yet' by fRoots. He appears tonight with his band members Andy Cutting, Andy Seward and Kellie While.
Bert Jansch & Espers with Eliza Carthy
Wed 23 January, 7:30pm
£18, £16
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Main Auditorium
An icon of the 60s and 70s, cited as a key inspiration by some of today's hippest musical talents, Scottish-born singer, songwriter and guitarist Bert Jansch has been enjoying a remarkable creative renaissance in recent years, sharing stages and studios with the cream of the nu-folk crop, including Devendra Banhart, Vetiver and tonight's Stateside guests Espers.
Based in Philadelphia, Espers weave pretty yet eerie, neo-psychedelic soundscapes out of influences ranging from Fairport Convention and the Incredible String Band to medieval and Renaissance music.
Describing herself simply as a 'modern British musician', the twice nominated Mercury award singer and fiddler Eliza Carthy unveils the latest stage of her singular musical journey. She'll be previewing tracks from her forthcoming release Dreams of Breathing Underwater – her second album of original material, following 2000's Angels & Cigarettes – accompanied by her new band line-up of Phil Alexander (keyboards/accordion), Emma Smith (double bass) and Willie Molleson (drums).
Balkan Night featuring Balkanopolis & Kries
Wed 23 January, 7:30pm
A three-band bill of cutting edge music from the fringes of Europe, hosted by Mouth Music founder and cross-cultural pioneer Martin Swan.
Swan leads the Stobo Village Band, a genre-busting outfit playing fast hypnotic acoustic dance music with fiddle, accordion, tapan and darbuka. Mashing up Scottish/Irish tune-playing with the virtuoso traditions and percussion sound of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, they pursue the groove all the way down the easyjet route map.
Of the evening's two main performers, Swan writes "this summer I somehow ended up producing two amazing bands in the Balkans. Serbia's Balkanopolis is the brainchild of Slobodan Trkulja, wunderkind multi-instrumentalist and creator of the modern traditional sound in Serbia. His band have so much music oozing out of them they don't know where to put it, and their gigs are a euphoric swerving chase through folk, jazz, and rock, all performed with great style and emotion.
"Kries are from Croatia, and their extraordinary live performances bring together the wild and beautiful singing of Mojmir Novakovic with a dirty indie band sound that's shockingly modern, and also feature Croatian folk instruments ljerica, diple and gajde. Their fusion is more daring than anything I've heard elsewhere, and it's so powerful because everyone in the band believes that the purpose of music is a spiritual thing. Both of these bands have incredible energy, and I guarantee this evening will leave people reeling …."
Angus Lyon & Ruaridh Campbell with Haugaard & Høirup
Wed 23 January, 8pm
The Tron Theatre
Accordionist Angus Lyon and fiddler Ruaridh Campbell breathe newly inventive life into this classic Scottish instrumental partnership.
The Danish fiddle/guitar duo of Harald Haugaard and Morten Alfred Høirup create some of the most exciting sounds on the folk scene today, in a virtuoso blend of traditional and original material.
Heidi Talbot with Lissa Schneckenburger
Wed 23 January, 8pm
St Andrew's in the Square
Tonight's show marks the launch of In Love and Light, the second solo album from Cherish the Ladies vocalist Heidi Talbot. Support comes from New England fiddler/singer Lissa Schneckenburger. She appears tonight with her band: Keith Murphy (guitar) Corey DiMario (double bass) and Stefan Amidon (percussion).
Songs of Scotland
Jacobite Songs hosted by Doris Rougvie
Wed 23 January, 8pm
Over the last two years the Songs of Scotland series has looked at different regions of Scotland and the songs that have emerged from these areas.
For the 2008 festival the series looks at different themes that occur in Scots song, mixing Gaelic and Scots, and how they have inspired songwriters and singers throughout generations.
Each of the ten themes will showcase a selection of songs, so each night will see the audience taken on a journey of discovery through different languages, dialects and stories, all linked with one common theme.
Dougie MacLean with Cherryholmes
Wed 23 January, 8pm
Old Fruitmarket
The range of artists who've covered Dougie MacLean's songs – including Mary Black, Kathy Mattea, Dolores Keane, Paolo Nutini and Amy MacDonald – testifies to the breadth and depth of his appeal, although most fans' favourite versions, of course, remain his own.
MacLean's 30-year career, stretching from his early days with the Tannahill Weavers and Silly Wizard to recent large-scale projects such as Rural Image, commissioned for Celtic Connections 2005, was recently celebrated on a double-CD retrospective, 'The Essential Dougie MacLean'.
His current band line-up features Greg Lawson (violin), Jamie MacLean (acoustic guitar/percussion), Ross Ainslie (pipes/whistles, bouzouki), Alan Sutherland (keyboards) and Chris Agnew (bass).
In a mere eight years since they first began playing together, the six-member family band Cherryholmes have taken the bluegrass world by storm. Their latest album, 'Cherryholmes II: Black and White', entered the Billboard bluegrass chart at No.1 last June, while a recent live review called them 'one of the most cohesive, creative and soulful acoustic bands on the continent'.
Boston Tea Party
Alastair Moock, Kris Delmhorst, Tim Gearan and Rose Polenzani
Wed 23 January, 8pm
The Tall Ship
One of America's most famous incidents saw colonists, disdaining British taxes, destroy crates of tea aboard ships in Boston Harbour in 1773. Two centuries on, Boston was famous for a music scene that developed in its tea and coffee houses. Joan Baez, Taj Mahal, Tom Rush and Bonnie Raitt are just some who served apprenticeships on the local scene before gaining international recognition and today, Boston remains as vibrant as ever.
This Boston Tea Party, like the original, held aboard a sailing ship, features four names who are major creative forces among the current crop of leading Massachusetts singer-songwriters.
Alastair Moock, Kris Delmhorst, Tim Gearan and Rose Polenzani present a programme that will show why leading radio presenters both here and in the USA are describing them as "wonderful", "outstanding" and "must-see", performing together over three nights in-the-round, sharing stories and collaborating on some of the finest music of our times.
Celtic Connections Festival Club hosted by Gibb Todd
Wed 23 January, 10:30pm

Old English Law, Practice. An ancient practice in trials by jury. It consisted in adding other jurors to the panel of jurors, after the cause had been committed to them, in case they could not agree in a verdict. The author of Fleta (ubi sup) thus describes it. The oath having been administered to the jury, the (prenotarius) prothonotary, addressed them thus: 'You will say upon the oath you have taken, whether such a one unjustly and without judgment disseized such a one of his freehold in such a ville within three years or not.'
The justices also repeat for the instruction of the jurors the plaint of the plaintiff. The jurors then retire and confer together. If the jurors differ among themselves and cannot agree in one (sententiam) finding, it will be in the discretion of the judges to afforce the assize by others, provided there remain of the jurors summoned many as the major party of the dissenting jurors; or they may compel the same jurors to unanimity, viz. by directing the sheriff to keep them safely without, meat or drink until they agree.
The object of adding to the panel a number equal to the major party of the dissenting jurors, was to ensure a verdict by twelve of them, if the jurors thus added to the panel should concur with the minor party of the dissenting jurors. This practice of afforcing the assize, was in reality a second trial of the cause, and was abandoned, because the courts found it would save delay and trouble by insisting upon unanimity.
The practice of confining jurors without meat and drink in order to enforce unanimity, has in more modern times also been abandoned and the more rational practice adopted of discharging the jury and summoning a new one for the trial of the cause, in cases where they cannot agree. This expedient for enforcing unanimity was probably introduced from the canon law, as we find it was resorted to on the continent, in other cases where the unanimity of a consultative or deliberative body was deemed indispensable.

During National Heart Failure Awareness Week, February 13-19, staff at the I.O. Silver Cardiovascular Specialties Clinic on the campus of Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center helped their patients understand, "Where's the Salt?" Throughout the week, low sodium recipes were shared, a display of foods and associated salt content was available, and patients and families were encouraged and reminded to talk with their healthcare providers about salt intake.
The latest dietary guidelines for Americans suggest that daily sodium intake be reduced to 1,500 mg for adults. Previous guidelines suggested that 2,300 mg was an appropriate level. Salt reduction is an important lifestyle change for all Americans. Too much sodium on a regular basis can lead to hypertension, which can then progress to other conditions such as heart and kidney disease.

If you want to become a radio DJ, there will be a lot of things you will need to be aware of. It is not as easy as walking up in the morning and deciding you want to be a radio DJ. However, there is no need to be pessimistic. Let us discuss a few things that you need to know to start you down the right path.
To begin with, you can not expect to get hired as a full-time radio disk jockey right off the bat. There are a few things you need to do. Anyone who likes to talk and joke with the people and loves the music would make a brilliant radio DJ.
You can start out at the local university or college radio station, this is on a volunteer basis. However, these seats are usually taken up by the local students, most likely from the communication and journalism department, or maybe even the fine arts department.
Education requirements do vary, most radio disk jockeys have a bachelors or masters degrees in broadcasting, journalism, and communication
If you have a good enough talent, you might be able to make a deal and still find yourself a spot, generally a few days a week, or a few hours a night, depending on if there are any vacancies.
You can also do your own broadcasting over the Internet. This is as easy as having a fine selection of books and a character to think about while the next chapter is coming up. Live Internet broadcasting has become very popular over the years. With various types of software for it, both web-based and for the desktop.
You will need your own hosting platform or your own server to get this off the ground and of course, it will be a financial burden, unless you get some sponsors or advertising to pay you some money to advertise for them over the Internet. You won't get this at the start, wait until you get a good platform and solid following to make it work.
Begin at the bottom of a local radio station.
This is not at all appealing but you have to start somewhere. But if you get a post at the radio station that actually involves the radio programming and not pushing papers in a cabin somewhere, all the better.
You might even want to begin as an intern, and be the radio station gopher while you learn the basics. This is the best way of starting out.
You can also go to a university or a college for a degree.
This does not guarantee you the position at a radio station but it does teach you the fundamentals of the business and even some air time at the university radio station.
If you really want to become a radio DJ, then you need to do the basic work and learn the art any way you can. It is extremely rare that a greenhorn will get the golden chance right away. Keep trying, never give up and who knows, you might be the host of your own show one day. Would not that be fantastic

Lexus GS 300/GS 430
I posted in another forum. I am posting here as well.
I am looking into CPO GS300 AWD with 26400 miles. The listing has it for 34000 but I would like to know if 25000 is a good starting point? Too high? Can I go lower?
Since the milage is low, I assume they will not bargain too much (even though it is 4 years old).
Why not try 25k and go whichever way needed, likely higher, maybe closer to 30k give or take a grand for a specially nice car with a complete service history and of course the CPO warranty.0
Thanks for the advice.0
Let us know here what happens!0
wwest Posts: 10,706You're kidding us, right..??
I have always noticed that our Lexus GPS/nav cannot always find the shortest or quickest route, say the one I already knew, between point A & B.
What somewhat amazed me is that once I got the Garmin and travelled along with both "enabled" the Garmin was more likely to find the best route. But what was interesting was that as we travelled along the Lexus system would eventually "find" the very same routing as the Garmin turn for turn.
So it wasn't that the Lexus didn't have enough map resolution it was that the Lexus was clearly part BRAIN DEAD.
As a for instance the Lexus system wanted to take us through the tri-cities area (Richland/Pasco/Kennewick) from Condon Oregon home to Seattle. Even an idiot could see that was not a proper route, time or distance.0
Well, never received the phone call that the sales person said he would do. Oh well, we decided to get a 2010 Camry.0
Well, it is no Lexus, but a new 2010 Camry is a fine car nonetheless by the same parent compnay. Enjoy the new car!0
s_files Posts: 1Hello. Just bought a 06 GS 300 yesterday. Have spent the last day scouring all of the manuals and literature trying to learn about the car. My major issue is with the bluetooth......can not figure out how to transfer my phone book and I can not seem to manually add numbers into the phone book. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!0
frankbailey Posts: 1I have a 99 GS 300. I noticed water in the left rear footwell. Investigation yielded the sunroof seal leaking. Further investigation showed the drain port on the left rear side of the sunroof also leaks. I was able to thread a weedwacker line up from the discharge of the drain hose, but when I checked to see if I had unplugged it, it still leaked when I ran some water over that section of the sunroof. How do you (1) replace the sunroof seal & (2) repair the drain tube? If this requires headliner removal, how is that done? Also, how do you replace the sunroof seal?0
lexusfan8 Posts: 1I have a 1991 Nissan Maxima SP with 108,000 miles and have never changed the transmission fluid, it runs great. I also have a Lexus 1999 GS300 with 65,000 miles, and trying to decide whether I should change T.F.
I have read in a past article that said original T.F. should not be changed. I have followed the Lexus manual and did the timing belt, drive belt, water pump etc., but I'm hesitant on the T.F., any thoughts.
Another problem... occasional surge when pressing gas pedal. I have owned this car for 10 years and have avoided any mishaps, however while having the car in for some work at a Firestone shop one of the mechanics caused the car to surge and hit the side of the building causing major damage which they paid for.
Did or does anyone have a similar problem.
chaseallen76 Posts: 1Hello. I am looking to buy a 2001 lexus gs 300 with 94k miles on it. Seems to be in good condition. the 2nd owner has only owned the car since Feb. Any ideas at what types of maintenance this car will be needing in the near future? timing belt, water pump? assuming it checks out ok, is $8500 a good price? person to person kelley blue book is $7950 but no sure if a lexus in good condition goes by KBB. any insight would be greatly appreciated.0
2001 GS300 with 75K should be about $7500, but for a good-condition car $8500 is OK.
Have not had any problems with mine except replacing O2 sensor and Mass airflow sensor.
Good luck.0
A/C starts to smell rotten 5 minutes after turn on.
This is terrible.
anyone knows the fix?0
The GS300 engine is a high-compression engine requiring 91 octane gas. Use lower octane will likely cause premature ignition, incomplete burning of fuel, causing engine knocking, reducing horse power and fuel efficiency.
Incomplete fuel burn will produce more pollutants, eventually fouling oxygen sensors and catalytic converter, which would be expensive to replace.
If the engine can run reliably on cheaper low octane fuels, the engineers would have stated so in the manuals.0
amf1932 Posts: 79The engine control computer automatically retards the ignition timing to compensate for lower octane fuel. Therefore this will protect the engine from damage! That's the reason that Lexus vehicles incorporated this feature in the programing of the computer.0

Southern kitchens spend considerable time assessing people's tastes, what will work best for this crucial room and how to combine beauty with functionality. If you translate this further it means that we must offer you an excellent variety of styles (country, modern or classic), the very best in materials and appliances and most importantly, creative service. And we do!
When you dream about something you invariably create a vision of what suits you best. And when you analyse it further you realise it involves a combination of practicality, comfort and aesthetics.
If you look at today's consumer trends, technology and design have come a very long way towards configuring yesteryear's serviceability into modern day expectations. So features such as quality finishes, robust and hardwearing surfaces and comfortable storage spaces are standard landmarks in helping us realise your kitchen.
Southern Kitchens and laminates CC was established in 1997 as a manufacturer and installer of kitchens and allied components. Today the Company boasts a staff compliment of 70 competent employees backed up by state of the art machinery including vacuum presses, CNC machinery, and a full spray facility.
The company focuses on three distinct businesses. Firstly the supply and installation of custom made kitchens marketed by a professional sales team and helped by a qualified bank of Articad designers. All installations are carried out by qualified fitters managed by Southern Kitchens.
The Company offers a huge range of services to the smaller kitchen companies including cut and edging as well as the assembly of units ready for installation.

Play for free at Summertime 5 reels video slot game
3.4 out of 5 - from 26 votes
Rate this game:
The really unusual thing about Microgaming's Summertime slot game is it seems to be a fruit machine caught inside a video slot game's body. In fact, a majority of the symbols are symbols one would typically find on a 3-reel classic slot as opposed to a 5-reel video slot. It's hard to understand why Microgaming's game developers made that decision, which resulted in what could be termed a rather simplistic video slot.
While a couple of the special symbols try to catch the essence of summertime, the game's general motif fails to create anything approaching a summer feeling. The background is nothing more than a basic blue screen with a hint of sunshine. Other than that, summer is the one thing that seems to be missing from this particular game.
Summertime is played with a standard slot matrix of 5 reels and 9 pay lines. The game's minimum wagering requirement is a modest $.01 per pay line with a maximum possible bet of $1.00 per pay line. The player can choose to play up to 5 coins per spin, which would make the game's wagering range $.01 to $45 per spin.
As indicated earlier, the low-paying standard symbols are all represented by typical fruit machine symbols such as watermelons, oranges, lemons, plums, cherries, strawberries, a diamond, a bell, a seven, a bar and a logo "S." The wild symbol is represented by the "Summertime" game logo. It substitutes for all other symbols with the exception of the game's scatter symbol, which is represented by a sunset symbol with the word scatter inscribed on it.
The game's highest payout is awarded when the player lands a wild symbol on all five reels, which results in a 10,000X jackpot. If the player lands three or more scatter symbols, they earn 15 free spins with a 3X multiplier applicable to all free spin winnings. During the free spins round, free spins can be re-triggers by landing 3 or more scatters, just like in the base game.
Verdict: It doesn't take an experienced slot player to figure out that Summertime is one of Microgaming's earlier efforts. Aside from a decent payout structure, there isn't much to recommend with this game. Even the lack of meaningful audio and video features contribute to making this game feel and play like a standard fruit machine. Not all video slots can be great, but this one misses the mark by a wide margin.

Courts wasted an estimated £230 million of taxpayers' money last year by needlessly locking up people on remand, figures obtained from the Ministry of Justice through Freedom of Information requests and published by the Howard League for Penal Reform reveal.
During 2013, more than 35,000 people who had been remanded in custody were either acquitted or given non-custodial sentences.
The money spent on keeping them in prison would have been enough to build 16 new secondary schools, pay 10,000 nurses for a year, or reverse the government's cuts to the criminal legal aid budget.
Of the 36,044 men, women and children who were remanded into custody by magistrates, 25,413 (71 per cent) did not go on to receive a custodial sentence.
In the crown courts, 9,844 (27 per cent) of the 36,833 men, women and children remanded were either acquitted or given a non-custodial sentence. However, there was a significant gender difference, with 41 per cent of female defendants being acquitted or receiving a non-custodial sentence, compared to 26 per cent of male defendants.
The figures suggest that there is widespread overuse and misuse of remand across England and Wales – despite the recent introduction of new legislation designed in part to reduce the number of people locked up needlessly.
People on remand receive a very poor regime when in prison. Overall they spend more time locked in their cells, receive less help and support when inside, and are inadequately prepared for release. Remand prisoners are also at the greatest risk of self-harm and suicide.
Remand is currently the key driver of the rising prison population. Its misuse puts further pressure on the country's overcrowded and under-resourced prison estate, where suicides and assaults have risen alarmingly after the number of officers was cut by 30 per cent in three years.
Frances Crook, Chief Executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "Our prisons are squalid and our prisoners are idle, yet the courts are continuing to remand innocent people and people accused of petty crime at huge public expense.
"It is time to end this unjust system, which is costing the nation money that could be better spent."
Over the 12 months ending June 2014 there have been approximately 11,594 people in prison on remand at any one time. As a prison place costs £37,000 per year on average, this means that almost £429 million per year is being spent on incarcerating remand prisoners alone.
The cost to the prison system of the 70 per cent of men and women who are remanded by magistrates but do not go on to receive a custodial sentence is an estimated £165 million per year (based on 25,413 people each remanded for nine weeks on average, with a prison place costing £37,000 per year).
The cost to the system of imprisoning those who are remanded by crown courts but do not go on to receive a custodial sentence is an estimated £65 million per year (based on 9,844 people remanded for nine weeks on average at a cost of £37,000 per year per prison place).
The true cost to the taxpayer is likely to be even higher after the ancillary costs of remanding people into custody are taken into account. These include prisoner transfer costs and court administration costs, as well as the provision of benefits and support to address the economic and social disadvantage caused by remand, such as family breakup, homelessness and unemployment.
