What was the last band that inspired you to devour everything you could find of their music?
I guess this is more suited to more belated discovery of an older band that you either hadn't heard of or hadn't thought to investigate before.
For me, I first heard of Carissa's Wierd on this very forum only a couple of weeks ago when somebody posted a link to 'So You Wanna Be A Superhero'. I went straight on to Amazon marketplace and bought a copy of every vinyl reissue they had in stock that same week. What was your last instant infatuation?
No-one for ages
But it's happened a lot more post-spotify I have to say.
Sunset Rubdown
And the various other Spencer Krug projects
Twilight Sad
I Like Trains
Okkervil River
are my most recent ones.
Ace Bushy Striptease
Saw them live with Johnny Foreigner in Birmingham about a year ago, checked their website out, and lo and behold, about 5 albums worth of stuff for free, score.
Saw them again with the aforementioned Johnny Foreigner the other day, and they are getting better and better. Great indie pop.
www.acebushystriptease.com is where the stuff be.
The Waterboys
The Beach Boys
A wonderful summer/autumn spent discovering their albums culminating in seeing Brian Wilson perform Smile. Magical...
The Mark McGuire and Trouble Books collaberation made me look into...
Mark McGuire & Trouble Books.
- this'd this
Great band
and the post-reformation albums are actually great :DDDDOissin_ this'd this
I need to think of more adjectives
other than great
White Denim
3 albums, only one wobbly track.
Stuart Warwick
Amazing singer-songwriter from Brighton.
His Name is Alive and Lilys
Must be two of the most underrated alternative bands of the last 30 years.
The Fall
SparklehorseOissin_ this'd this
I about to embark
.. on a Bradford Cox odyssey. I liked Logos, but I actually loved the new album.
I might be some time.
Nicolas Jaar
so not that long ago really.
Band-wise, probably Talk Talk, who i only really discovered after that Quietus article a while back.
Id heard the name and assumed this was a metal band haha. aw well turns out theres a good hip hop back catalogue right there
Lilys is a good one
this year I have devoured a lot of Boards of Canada and Fucked Up
Modest Mouse
Indie Points -50 but only just got into them and now swimming in joy. Last year was Talking Heads. After thinking in my twenties I was going to expire all modern music by the age of 40 and move on to classical and opera I now think popular music post 1956 may keep me going for the rest of my life.
Sorry, Cibelius. I always preferred your earlier stuff.Tiresias this'd this
Do Modest Mouse
lose you indie points now? I'm probably completely bankrupt by now between them and the National
Boards of Canada
It inspired this epic post.
Trail Of Dead
It was Chili Peppers when I was like 14, then Soundgarden. But when I saw Trail of Dead earlier this year, I lapped everything they'd ever done right up. Probably one of the best bands in the world.
Excellent choice
So many iterations of a great band too; from the thrashy, glorious noise of the self-titled mini-album and Madonna (still one of my all-time favourite records- unbroken genius) up to the trippy sprawl of Tao Of The Dead, there's always something fascinating about their stuff (even the underpowered and much maligned So Divided has a couple of great tunes). And this new punchy four-piece set up is their best live outfit for a long time, I'd say since Neil Busch left.
Going through a mild Wild Beasts obsession at the moment.
Probably way behind you guys but only got round to listening to full albums by them a couple of months ago.
Started with Limbo, Panto which is lovably bonkers and I'd probably argue the most consistently entertaining.
I didn't like how restrained Two Dancers sounded at first after Limbo, Panto (All The King's Men was ace, obviously) but it all clicked when I realised how good Hooting & Howling and We Still Got The Taste... were.
Smother's very atmospheric and gentle, when I'd have liked a small return to Club Of Fathomless Love / Brave Bulging-esque hysteria. Growing on me by the day, though.
The Mircophones and Kraftwerk
Have been the last 2 things to inspire a completist urge in me. I think GBV is about to have the same impact though.
Do Make Say Think
Actually, once the Silver Mt Zion penny dropped, them, too. And these were both after I had gorged on GYBE.
I blame the Constellation packaging and sweet compliment notes.
Meat Beat Manifesto
Jack Dangers is an amazing producer[though I`ve not heard everything yet]. Stunning beats and a Psychedelic, unique/personal sound. Actual Sounds and Voices has to be one of the best and most underrated albums of the 90`s, and it still sounds amazing and hasn`t dated at all.
This year it's been The National and Low
Picked up their latest albums at the end of last year/begining of this year and then spent the rest of the year playing catch-up on both of their back catalogues.
The National probably
but that was a while ago, since I've dabbled with listening to catalogues, but not quite in an obsessive must hear everything way. Wild Beasts yeah, but when there's 3 albums doesn't feel too hard. Broadcast too very recently, but again after listening haven't really got obsessed, not in a bad way, just not manicly youtubing b-sides.
I've been kinda wanting to find another band to obsess over too, but I think I have enough bands that I can obsess over now that I just tend to wait long enough and dive into them.

Make No Prior Assumptions
Randall Dirks arrived in Umtata on a Monday 10 years ago, having taken the weekend off after finishing his final university exam on the preceding Friday. Like most people, he thought he would do a year or two and then head rightfully back to the big city lights.
But Randall Dirks found out that it doesn't work like that in Umtata - in fact, in Umtata, everything works differently. "Numerous projects are fast tracked and clients often want projects to be out to tender as soon as possible while still complying with all the environment and relevant design criteria," says Randall Dirks, who laughs and smiles a lot.
"Take a bridge; here the span is determined by what will likely have to go through underneath. The client does not want to have trees knocking against the columns during flooding. He does not want to have to come back to remove trees or other objects that are damming the river. So we make the bridge as big as possible as there is often no budget to do any maintenance. In addition, some clients want to minimise maintenance, so care has to be taken in the design stage to achieve these requirements."
"The client in virtually all cases at the Umtata branch of HHO Africa Infrastructure Engineers, is National or Provincial Government in the form of various departments or Local and District Municipalities. We have very little dealings with private sector clients."
Training in South Africa is vital to raising living standards and alleviating poverty. "Government has insisted that we train people on all our jobs; we do this gladly. The problem is that, after the contract is finished, there are a few hundred people who have acquired skills, but there is minimal work left to be done in that community."
"What we would like the client to do is to give these trained people a contract to do the maintenance on these projects once they are finished. After all, they worked on them and acquired their skills there. The client demands that we spend 12% of the budget on creating employment for the local communities. On some jobs we have spent approximately R16m on employment over a two-year contract period. It would be ideal if these people were given contracts to maintain the work, they even live along roads and are always close to the work site," he says with an enthusiastic smile.
Professional Engineering is becoming more than engineering. "Whatever you've learnt at varsity is gone, it's just the tip of the iceberg," he says laughing uproariously. "The way I see it," he says becoming serious again, "is that engineers are being taught the hard skills, how to design, but nowadays you need a lot of soft skills, communications, etc."
"No one seems to understand the enormous power the community has, community liaison is huge. If they don't like something and they start toyi-toying, the contractor leaves until the situation has been resolved. These bills are huge; just two or three days can easily run into hundreds of thousands, and the client won't pay for that."
What sort of ratio between hard and soft skills is required today for an engineer to be able to successfully earn a living? "It's about equal. Because not only do you need to communicate with communities, you have to be able to negotiate effectively with your client, you need financial skills to administer a project, and of course project management skills to manage the whole job."
The financial side is very tricky. "The difference between the contract period and the accounting period leads to some difficult situations. Fluctuating budgets on the client side also causes problems. Cost overruns are just a complete no-no."
How does he survive in this difficult environment? "I never assume anything!" the reply is instant. "Don't assume the contractor is experienced and knows what he is doing. It is incumbent on us as consultants to make sure the job is completed properly," he says with a wry smile.
"It's never boring in Umtata. My experience here - the same as anyone else - is fast-tracked. There is no specialization. I prefer water projects, but I do roads, storm water; whatever has to be done. It is a situation of constant and intense learning and on-the-job-training."
"I came here as a junior engineer, happy that I had a job and determined to succeed. Today there is a shortage of good engineers and technicians. Every year we visit schools, and invite learners here to promote the profession. Last year we had a group of kids here, and one of the female learners wanted to know what they could earn. My colleague, who was doing the presentation tried to avoid a direct answer, but she was insistent. When she heard that the salary was between R5 000 and R6 000, she, and the others, were aghast. She said, 'If I have to do this kind of work for that sort of money, I am simply not interested."
The company - and naturally the Umtata office - is a beta tester for the Roads module of Civil Designer. "That is a great programme," says Randall. "I am not yet an expert in the Water module, but I am working hard at exploring all the features and options of the software."
There is a wealth of experience to draw on in the HHO Africa company. "There's probably in excess of 50 years of local knowledge here. We all support each other. I don't speak Xhosa, but the staff are all supportive." Despite all that, the working environment remains challenging. "Here, if you get called to site, you have to drive 200km on difficult roads. But let me say, if you are a young engineer looking for experience, this is the place to be," he says enthusiastically.
Paul Chambers, a successful business executive once told a group of students, "Life at university, with its intellectual and inconclusive discussions at a postgraduate level, is, on the whole, a bad training for the real world. Only men of very strong character surmount this handicap." Randall Dirks has not only conquered that, he has turned it to his advantage.
Randall Dirks
qualified at Pentech in Cape Town in 1989. He worked for a few years before going to UCT to get his degree. He received his Professional Engineering certificate in 1998. Randall approached the bank for a study loan before going to university. "This was at the time when the economy was depressed and our industry was really in the doldrums. The bank said I was high-risk as there was doubt that I would get a job after qualifying. That is the only time I have ever been declared high-risk by a bank," he says with a chuckle. Randall manages the Umtata office as well as being a director of the company.

Tepper has just announced the completion of a $200 Million center for entrepreneurship at the center of campus. Will there ever be an end to the great MBA facilities showdown?
The past decade has seen an incredible surge in bigger, better MBA facilities across the nation and the world. Once this kind of arms race begins, it's hard to stop, because students quickly get spoiled and applicants quickly come to expect cutting edge offerings----a real "nothing but the best will do" approach to school selection.
While at the undergraduate level, there are several bastion institutions holding tight to wooden desk and chalkboard traditions, it's been more difficult to do this at the graduate level. One reason is, the perception of antiquated buildings and finishes don't equate to the fast-paced nature of the "speed of business." This perception can negatively influence prospective students' opinions of an MBA program to the point that they might even rule out a particular school purely based on the physical environment where they will spend their two years. Additionally, MBA applicants are usually five or more years into their post-undergrad careers and have become accustomed to class-A office workspace. This acclimation can make it very difficult for them to choose a school whose classroom spaces aren't up to date.
It seems very superficial for applicants to make decisions based on aesthetics, but the data backs up the premise.
Just this past season, for example, University of Texas saw a surge in matriculation after the completion of a brand new, state-of-the-art facility. Note this was not a surge in applications, but actually an increase in students choosing to attend McCombs, which implies that applicants made their decisions after visiting campus and seeing the building. This kind of measurable impact influences other schools to do whatever is necessary to raise funds to compete. New facilities can even put schools on the map who were less known. Rumor has it that Scheller College of Business at Georgia Tech has plans to build an 18-story MBA tower in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, which should really put them on the map given their already enviable location nearby dozens of Fortune 500, 100 and 50 companies.
Despite the allurement of super-sexy skyscrapers, however, MBA applicants should guard themselves against sacrificing fit for facility.
While great facilities are nice, it would be far better to go to a school with tired spaces, yet one that aligns perfectly with your profile and career vision, vs. one with a brand new building, which is unable to get you what you want either academically or professionally.

Cantine Parisienne
I never thought I'd see the day, when French restaurants were opening in New York at such a pace that I cannot visit them all. But that's the moment we're in, and I am a happy camper.
Among those I've reviewed in the last six months, there's La Villette, Le Midi, Table Verte, Le Philosophe, Cocotte, and Lafayette. There's the ones I haven't gotten to yet, and might not, such as Brasserie Cognac East, Charlegmagne, and Little Prince. Have I missed any?
Then there's today's subject, Cantine Parisienne, in the Nolitan Hotelwhere Ellabess flopped. The restaurant has a separate entrance, and you never really feel like you're in a hotel.
The menu is overtly French, but the décor is all downtown New York. Picture windows on two sides look out on Kenmare Street, where shops, bars, and clubs are sprouting up like spring flowers. Unlike the last time I was here, the view is actually worth looking at.
The entrance is down a few steps. There's a small lounge area, with bench seating and low stools. In the dining area, the tables and chairs are bare-bones. Around the room, there's a few votive candles and a few bouquets, offsetting an austere slate grey ceiling and cement columns.
The bar is well stocked with artisanal gins and rums, and various obscure ryes, whiskeys, and so forth. The stools are rather uncomfortable, which is a pity, as the cocktail program is excellent.
Between us we tried four of these (all $14): the Vieux Roble (Brugal 1888 rum, armagnac, two kinds of bitters, Cointreau noir, rocks, lemon, lime, and orange peel); the Gainsbarre (Rémy Martin VSOP, green chartreuse, Noillly Prat Rouge, Angostura bitters, orange peel); the Corsair (Calvados, lemon juice, grand marnier, absinthe, lemon zest, apple fan); and the Metropolis (Ford's Gin, cherry heering, fresh lime juice, bitter orange, zested peel).
These were some of the best restaurant cocktails I've had in a while, all with excellent depth and balance. Without my asking, the bartender offered to transfer the tab to our table.
The wine list is fairly basic, as it often is at such places, with about 24 bottles, many of them also available by the glass. Prices are in a wide range, but not not extortionate, and there are enough options at the lower end.
The Château Réal Martin 2006 ($46; left) seemed a bit too good to be true, and it was: the server brought the 2008 to our table instead, and seemed surprised when I pointed out the inconsistency.
The restaurant is open for all three meals, since it needs to be available for a hotel crowd. At dinner, most of the clientele seemed to have come in from the street. It was not full at 7pm on a Wednesday—though it was hardly the hour when I'd expect it to be. The crowd was about 2/3rds young women.
Prices are modest, with hors d'oeuvres $13.50–26.00, soups $7.50–8.00, salads $9.50–15.00, main courses $12.00–24.00 (except for filet mignon, $33), sides $4.50–6.00, desserts $5.50–8.00.
Most of the standard mains are in the low $20s. If you want to dine inexpensively but well, an order of onion soup ($7.50), a croque monsieur ($12) and a scoop of ice cream ($5.50) would set you back all of $25 before beverages, tax and tip.
To start, we shared an assortment of Iberico ham ($18.50; above left). Lamb chops, a special (above right), were thick and tender.
I quite liked the Escaloope de veau ($24; above left), not the most impressive piece of veal, but served in an appealing mushroom cream sauce with rice and string beans. Should you choose to end with a cheese plate ($13.50; above right), the kitchen sends out a quite respectable assortment.
The service was just fine. The dining room isn't the most comfortable, but it's certainly good enough for such a casual spot. Great cocktails and solid, inexpensive French bistro cuisine aren't unusual any more, but one seldom sees both in the same establishment.
Cantine Parisienne (40 Kenmare Street at Elizabeth Street, NoLIta)
Food: Solid, inexpensive, well made French bistro cuisine
Service: Better than it needs to be
Ambiance: A typical downtown room that doesn't feel like a hotel

CrossFit Level Two Trainer.
'I've been Crossfitting for nearly eight years. When I first started, I hadn't done any exercise regimen and scaled every single movement. I am forever growing as an athlete, and will always have obstacles to conquer, but I've come such a long way with hard work and excellent coaching.
As a coach, I use my experience as my drive to help others achieve their goals and help them see that with determination, anything is possible. Seeing someone master a movement they've been struggling with, and knowing I've helped them achieve that goal, makes me feel incredible!
I got involved in Nutrition Coaching in 2014 and helped launch Amplify! Nutrition at CrossFit DelVal. I spend most of my time in the gym working with individual nutrition clients, as well as teaching CrossFit classes.'

Congratulations to our ClementineBe Brave giveaway winner, Driver B! Reading all of your comments about the brave things you've all done lately made my heart grow twenty-seven sizes. Also, I may have cried a little. Here's just a sampling of what you awesome people have been up to:
Entered a recipe contest
Went back to school
Sent a spouse back to school
Started a non-profit
Went kite-surfing
Took on a first decorating client
Braved Korean spa naked activities
Stood up for your feelings
Asked for a raise
Started a relationship
Ended a relationship
Volunteered for public speaking
Started training for a triathlon
Quit an unsatisfying job
Quit an unsatisfying job
Quit an unsatisfying job
How great is that? And that is not even all of them. I am so proud of y'all.
Yesterday I did Steve Ross for the first time since I attended his class in person. That's not really very brave, but it hurts a lot.
I'm also trying to work up the courage to ask for an apprenticeship under one of my favorite decorators ever, because it is high time for me to get some more learning. I don't even know where to begin. "Hi, please like me. I can make things pretty." That's all I have so far. I'm taking suggestions if you have them.

Midland, TX Hay Bales for Sale
When shown quality hay and substandard hay, a lot of buyers have no trouble deciding between them. Nevertheless, because the average hay bale has a single or numerous defects, and since the buyer of the hays budget gets into the picture, selecting hay just isn't that simple. Knowing the haymaking system from the start can aid you to make smart choices when selecting the kind of hay to buy. Making high-quality hay is a science as well as an art.

Ganja State University rector: Terrorist act and public unrest in the city aimed to create chaos in Azerbaijan
Baku, July 12, AZERTAC
"The forces who can't tolerate the successful development of Azerbaijan, including Ganja want to cast a shadow over our achievements and tarnish us with their efforts by perpetrating such terrorist acts and public unrest in the city of Ganja, which is aimed at creating chaos in the country," rector of Ganja State University, professor Yusif Yusibov has told AZERTAC as he commented on Ganja events.
Yusibov mentioned that the city of Ganja has completely changed thanks to the President Ilham Aliyev's special care and attention. "This allowed to preserve the historical and architectural traditions of this ancient land, giving a modern look to the motherland of Nizami."
He said that an armed attack against head of Ganja City Executive Authority Elmar Valiyev on July 3 was perpetrated by the enemy forces who ignored the successful development and progress of Azerbaijan. "And yesterday a radical religious group of 150-200 people gathered outside the administrative building of Ganja City Executive Authority in an attempt to disrupt public order by using force and killed two high-ranking police officers."
"As an Azerbaijani citizen and intellectual, I condemn and resolutely curse the perpetrators of this incident and in general terror, all kinds of bloody crimes and public disturbance, and call on everybody to actively participate in the fight against terrorism," Yusibov added.

The Xperia X and Z5 Premium are now 8k to 10k cheaper.
Sony's Xperia line-up is known for its water repellent smartphones. Ironically, it won't be wrong to state that all these waterproof handsets are doing little to save Sony's smartphone division from drowning. Even its current flagship phones such as the Xperia X and Xperia Z5 Premium aren't posing any serious challenge to Samsung's high-end Galaxy handsets. Now before the iPhone 7 hits the Indian market, the Japanese brand is trying to win as many customers as possible with some discounts.
Sony's handset division in India is offering a whopping Rs 10,000 discount on the Xperia X. Launched in May for Rs 48,990, the handset can now be yours for Rs 38,990. Similarly, the Xperia Z5 Premium has received a Rs 8000 price cut. Sony's top-notch handset is now pegged at Rs 47,990. Goes without saying that if you were holding out for a high-end phone from Sony, now is the time to pull the trigger. For those not aware of its features, here's a quick run-down:

5-inch Full HD screen with Triluminos gimmick.
Snapdragon 650 System on Chip.

13th Annual Münchner Finance Forum Conference
400 Attendees At The 13th Annual Conference Of The Münchner Finance Forum At The Technical University Of Munich
400 Attendees At The 13th Annual Conference Of The Münchner Finance Forum At The Technical University Of Munich
The 23rd Dinner Event of Münchner Finance Forum took place on 1 March 2016 at the refurbished Donisl next to Marienplatz. The theme of the evening was "Investments in Motion Pictures".
Hanns Beese, CFO of Constantin Film, presented the impact of changing in-home viewing behavior on producers. The rise of Amazon Prime and Netflix, which now combine more than two thirds of the subscription video on demand market, changes the industry in two directions. First, the pre-selection of the "start screen" reduces the amount of movies relevant to the consumers. Secondly the huge market power will shift the margins of producers significantly towards the digital giants.
The second presentation of the evening was given by Max Wiedemann, founder and managing director of Wiedemann & Berg Filmproduktion, on "Success Factors of Film Investments". Together with his schoolmate Quirin Berg, he studied at the Academy of Film and Television in Munich, where they met Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. In 2007 they won the Oscar in the category "Best Foreign Language Film" for "Das Leben der Anderen", a movie directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and produced by Wiedemann & Berg. Max Wiedemann sees the success of film investments as being a clear pattern in the composition of producer, director and actor. It's often the same people who are successful. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee of a success, which is why investors should rather diversify their investment.
The 11th annual conference of the Münchner Finance Forum attracted more than 460 visitors. In the largest lecture hall (AudiMax) of the Technische Universität München, leading practitioners and academics presented on the topic "real assets". The Münchner Finance Forum e.V. is a non-profit organization for knowledge sharing between capital markets science and practice and has its origin at financial.com.
The 10th annual conference of the Münchner Finance Forum took place in the largest lecture hall ("AudiMax") of the Technische Universität München. At the forum, renowned practitioners and finance professors presented their view on "Search for yield in times of financial repression" to more than 320 visitors. The Münchner Finance Forum e.V. is a non-profit organization for education in the field of institutional asset management and was founded with the support of financial.com.
The second annual conference of the Münchner Finance Forum took place in the press room at the Allianz Arena. Renowned practitioners and finance professors discussed their view on "Collaboration in the asset management industry" with more than 250 visitors. The finance association was founded with support of financial.com and is an initiative for the financial center Munich. For more information see here.
The newly founded Münchner Finance Forum hosted its first annual conference in the press room at the Allianz Arena. The mission of the Münchner Finance Forum is the professional exchange of ideas in the field of institutional investment.
Today six renowned practitioners and academic researchers presented their views on "New ways to stable portfolio returns" to more than 200 visitors. A special highlight of course was the location of the event. The Allianz Arena is the most modern soccer stadium in the world and home to FC Bayern München. The event took place with support of financial.com. For more details see here.

Haiti, a cursed country? Une nation des damnés? Les damnés de la Terre? It surely seems so. But, its people, truly 'resilient'?
As if liberating itself from France (to which it was compelled to pay 'reparations' until 1947 for its victory and freedom from slavery) were not costly enough, it would be victim to the forces of nature, hurricanes and earthquakes – and recently the United Nations (and its Nepalese soldiers), not to mention home-grown remarkably corrupt despots, courtesy its northern neighbour, who would do their 'fair bit' of pillaging, repression and murder. Haiti is a country with a poverty rate of some 60% and with its one percent as rich as the poorest 45% of the population.
With massive deforestation and insufficient vegetation for soil retention, flooding and the consequent loss of life become facts of life. For over a decade in this century, rains, storms and hurricanes of varying intensity have buffeted many parts of the country. And now comes Hurricane Matthew and its deadly aftermath to add to its continuing woes.
Haiti's long and bitter experience with post-disaster 'assistance' has prompted some not at all tepid articles. Couple from The Guardian. This, Haiti cannot endure any more broken promises after Hurricane Matthew, with a key paragraph,
Outside forces have much to atone for. In many ways it is the failures of international support since 2010 that have had greater consequences for Haiti than its longstanding political failures. There is now a desperate need for a new type of engagement with Haiti. After Matthew, Haiti simply cannot endure any more broken promises
However this headline does put the issue more starkly, After Hurricane Matthew, will aid predators ravage Haiti? Fortunately, two countries have never engaged in the ravaging of the poorest country of the Western Hemisphere. These two are Venezuela and Cuba, traditionally two of the first ready to assist, and who do so without the media circus of photo-ops of the 'aid predators'. As TeleSUR reports, Venezuela and Cuba Show Solidarity with Haiti After the Hurricane. Lead paragraphs,
Cuba sent a group of 38 health professionals from the Henry Reeve Brigade who are trained in disaster medicine and infectious disease containment. The volunteer team was outfitted with essential medicines and equipment and has already arrived in the Haitian capital of Port au Prince.
For its part the Venezuelan government has already sent two shipments with humanitarian aid, the first was an airplane with 20 tons of nonperishable food, water, blankets, kitchen utensils, disposable materials, tents, ponchos and medicines.
Now we should remember that a better prepared Cuba had itself experienced the same hurricane, and received prompt assistance from a beleaguered Venezuela.
Which brings to mind that that devastating earthquake of 2010 in which far in excess of 100,000 lives were lost, the very year of that cholera outbreak. Then would arrive with great pomp and circumstance L'Impéreur Guillaume et L'Impératrice Hillary, accompanied by a phalanx of US corporate media for the obligatory PR photo-ops to suggest truly great deeds in the offing. And the rest, as they would say, is history – only to be re-awakened by Hurricane Matthew, as TeleSUR reports, Devastating Hurricane Renews Debate on Clinton Legacy in Haiti As confirmation that glib speeches of accomplishment no longer impress the increasingly less uninformed, we learn, as below, in this compelling report that rejects US corporate media's penchant for reflecting, parroting the establishment's official narrative,
After the worst storm in decades made landfall in Haiti last week, Bill Clinton wrote on Twitter October 4th: "Praying for everyone impacted by #HurricaneMatthew. Here's how you can help in Haiti," linking to an article on Medium detailing how the "Clinton Foundation community" is responding to the disaster.
"Is this a joke, you looted Haiti once already," responded one Twitter user. "Clintons still scamming off poor Haiti after a natural disaster," wrote another.
And with regard to this altruism business, we are again reminded of that stark headline in The Guardian, with this tidbit,
Controversially, however, US$6 billion [of funds raised by that august Clinton Foundation] was spent on formaldehyde-riddled trailers distributed by a top Clinton campaign donor–Clayton Homes–that sickened Haitians left homeless by the earthquake, with trailer occupants complaining of headaches and other illnesses.
(Note: not all of the US$6b collected were disbursed, only several million.)
Well, at least the former US president, now prosperous multi-millionaire, is not responsible for those UN Nepalese soldiers who brought the ravages of cholera to Haiti.
As for the former Sec State, also prosperous multi-millionaire and pre-selected, anointed candidate of the corporate Democrat party for the US presidency, we are reminded,
But [Hillary] Clinton's meddling in Haiti predates the 2010 earthquake. Beginning in 2008, Clinton, while a U.S. Senator, lobbied against a minimum wage hike in Haiti, according to WikiLeaks cables, scheming with foreign sweatshop owners doing business in the country. Blocking the wage hike deepened inequality in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
(And this ruthless meddling would come on the heels of the coup in June 2009 against the democratically elected President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, a coup legitimated by the fmr Sec of State. Honduras today reflects the result of such 'benevolent' ministrations.)
Despite the ravages of 2010, the economy did resume economic growth, yet much remains lacking. Why, after two centuries, is Haiti, in essence, a 'protectorate' of 'the international community', a country shackled to dependence on foreign, Western 'humanitarians'? Is assistance the now routine foisting on the country of armies of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), many of whom by their efforts fail to ensure measurable institutional development or even cadres of well-trained local professionals and bureaucrats to move the country forward? And as for the role of the American [US] Red Cross?
It should not be too long before we are treated to condescending pronouncements of the Haitians being a 'resilient' people, undaunted in the face of adversity. Truly a people who know how to suffer – as the highly paid 'do-gooders' visit, play their well-advertised role, then leave with yet another something for their CV, while leaving the Haitians to continue to show to an admiring, amazed world they are indeed a 'resilient' people.

I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I really enjoy this game, but sometimes I just... don't see things properly and I just try repeatedly and fail repeatedly. I'm now level 98 and yeah. I don't even have 1000 pp. It's pretty pathetic. I've read guides, I've studied, I'm just not getting any better even though I enjoy the game. Most people by this point are leaps and bounds better at this game. Should I find a new hobby or just accept that I will eternally be pretty shitty at this game?

United States District Court, W.D. Virginia, Roanoke Division
January 5, 2018
EARNEST BRADLEY HALL, Petitioner,v.WARDEN, USP MARION, Respondent.
Michael F. Urbanski Chief United States District Judge
Bradley Hall, a federal inmate[1] proceeding pro se, filed
this petition for a writ of habeas corpus, pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2254, challenging the validity of his
confinement on a judgment by the Giles County Circuit Court.
Respondent filed a motion to dismiss Hall's § 2254
petition, and Hall responded, making the matter ripe for
disposition. After review of the record, the court concludes
that Hall's petition is time-barred and procedurally
defaulted without excuse, requiring the motion to dismiss to
be granted.
On June
5, 2006, the Giles County Circuit Court convicted Hall of
three counts of carnal knowledge under Va. Code §
18.2-361, and sentenced him to ten years and twelve months in
prison. Hall did not pursue postconviction review.
January 13, 2017, Hall filed the current § 2254
petition, alleging that his convictions were invalid because
(1) § 18.2-361 (A) is facially unconstitutional under
the Fourteenth Amendment and Lawrence v. Texas. 539
U.S. 558 (2003); and (2) § 18.2-361 is unconstitutional
as applied to him.
the Anti-terrorism Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA), a
one-year period of limitation for federal habeas corpus runs
from the latest of:
(A) the date on which the judgment became final by the
conclusion of direct review or the expiration of the time for
seeking such review;
(B) the date on which the impediment to filing an application
created by State action in violation of the Constitution or
laws of the United States is removed, if the applicant was
prevented from filing by such State action;
(C) the date on which the constitutional right asserted was
initially recognized by the Supreme Court, if the right has
been newly recognized by the Supreme Court and made
retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review; or /
(D) the date on which the factual predicate of the claim or
claims presented could have been discovered through the
exercise of due diligence.
28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1).
petitioner can "toll" the federal habeas statute of
limitation in two ways: statutory tolling and equitable
tolling. Statutory tolling occurs when a petitioner files a
state habeas petition within the federal habeas limitation
period. The federal habeas statute of limitation is then
tolled for the duration of the state habeas proceeding. 28
U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2). Equitable tolling only occurs when
a petitioner shows '"(1) that he has been pursuing
his rights diligently, and (2) that some extraordinary
circumstance stood in his way' and prevented timely
filing." Holland v. Florida. 560 U.S. 631, 649
(2010) (quoting Pace v. DiGuglielmo. 544, U.S. 408,
418 (2005)).
did not pursue direct or collateral review; therefore, his
federal habeas statute of limitations under § 2244(d)
expired in 2007. Hall argues that his petition is timely
because Lawrence and MacDonald v. Moose.
710 F.3d 154 (4th Or. 2013) stated a new constitutional rule
and reset the statute of limitations under §
2244(d)(1)(C). However, neither case is availing.
Lawrence had no effect on Hall's limitation
period because the Supreme Court decided the case in 2003,
three years before Hall's conviction. Moreover, even if
the court accepts that Moose reset the federal

THE DIVA : Going to bed early boosts your sex drive
Saturday December 15 2018
Almost everyone gets too little sleep these days. And that does far more than just leaving you feeling tired and irritable at work.
Because couples who get enough sleep have more sex! For example, one study found that women who get as little as one extra hour's sleep are 14 per cent more likely to have sex the next day.
It's not just about how long you slept last night, of course, but how well you sleep in general. Because when you're well rested you're more aroused, energetic and focused. Which means more fun in bed with your partner.
While fatigue seriously reduces your sex drive. Regularly miss out on your sleep, and you'll also be more stressed. And that reduces your sex drive further still.
Sleep loss also lowers testosterone levels, which reduces the sex drive of both men and women.
While good sleep improves your mood and helps you cope with daily hassles. So you'll be happier, more relaxed – and much more likely to feel sexy.
Sleeping well also helps you to be more attentive, responsive, and attuned to your partner's needs.
So make sure your bedroom's comfortable, and stop all that late night drinking! Because alcohol disturbs your sleep pattern. Try a few booze free nights, and you'll soon notice you're sleeping much better.
Try to reduce the noise levels in your bedroom, get the lighting and temperature right, and resist the temptation to watch TV and check your social media in bed – or argue with your spouse! Avoid big meals, exercise, nicotine or caffeine late in the evening. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Have a shared bedtime routine with your spouse – including weekends – and go to bed a whole lot earlier. And you'll soon find that the two of you are making love far more often.
Working on your bedtime routine won't just improve your sex life. Because emotionally and physically intimate married couples are the happiest group in society. While childless singles in their 40s are the least. Mostly that's because they have less social support, less satisfying sex lives, and usually have simply awful sleep patterns!
Good sex becomes especially important as you get older. Because it goes on improving your emotional and physical health all your life. Like you'll have a better memory, because lots of good sex improves the areas of the brain that control your emotions and memory.
Older couples who have regular sex are less likely to feel depressed –and look five to seven years younger than those who don't! Because good sex releases hormones that make the skin more elastic and youthful – so long as it's loving.
Casual sex doesn't produce nearly the same benefits, probably because of all the anxiety and insecurity.
Having sex at least once a week also boosts your body's first line defences against colds and flu. And reduces the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
So start going to bed earlier!

Here are some ways to choose and take care of a commercial grade or restaurant refrigerator.
Number of Doors
Start by figuring out how many doors you want on your refrigerator. Commercial models come with anywhere from one to eight doors depending on the design. One or two doors are best if you want something similar to a conventional residential refrigerator. Three or more doors allow you to create zones in your refrigerator for food. Multiple doors also let less cold air out when you open the refrigerator.
Type of Doors
You can get a few types of doors when choosing a commercial model of refrigerator. Standard swinging doors are common and simple to use. Sliding doors can help you to save space in a tight kitchen area. The doors can also be made from solid, opaque stainless steel or a transparent material. Transparent doors allow you to see what is in your refrigerator without having to open it.
Refrigerators meant for commercial kitchens come in two general heights. Tall refrigerators are what you would normally see in a home kitchen. They stand around five feet tall or higher. You could also choose under-counter refrigerators that are much lower. These will fit under your kitchen counter like a dishwasher. A final option is a low refrigerator with a stainless steel work surface on top to add more counter space to your kitchen.
Interior Shelving
Check that any refrigerator you buy has enough interior shelving. You want at least three shelves. They should all be removable and adjustable so that you can fit whatever you need in the appliance. Avoid refrigerators that have locked-in shelving since this limits your options.
Temperature Displays and Controls
Something you can find in a commercial refrigerator is a temperature display. This is a digital or analog readout that shows the exact temperature inside the unit. You really want this feature to ensure your food is being stored safely at all times. You should also look for a refrigerator that has simple and accurate temperature controls that let you precisely set the coldness by degree.
Taking Care of You Refrigerator
Caring for the commercial variety of refrigerator is easy. Use bleach or a vinegar and water mixture for cleaning. Take everything out and unplug the unit to let it warm up a little. Remove the racks and soak them in a tub with some cleaning liquid. Spray and wipe down every interior surface. Dry the surfaces and put everything back inside the refrigerator. Clean once a week at least and deal with spills inside immediately to preserve your refrigerator for as long as possible.

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) in collaboration with the State Health Improvement Plan Implementation Coordination Council (SHIP ICC) announced last Thursday a Video Challenge asking for entry submissions that showcase how local non-profit organizations are transforming health in their communities.
The SHIP ICC committee will select up to ten awardees with up to $1500 grants.
"Many groups and organizations around the state are working to transform the health of their community by growing a neighborhood garden for fresh vegetables, prohibiting smoking on playgrounds, offering the use of recreation facilities to the public after hours, or in many other ways," IDPH Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck said.
Individuals can submit video entries, as long as the grant award is received by a local organization. Videos should relate to one or more priorities as outlined in the SHIP guidelines, such as nutrition and food access, exercise, reduction of tobacco usage, violence prevention and other health related subjects.
The video must also address at least one of the video challenge topics:
• What's Your SHIP Story? Tell a story about how collaboration among organizations resulting in a success around a SHIP priority area.
• We're a Public Health Stakeholder. Tell a story that shows how your organization is a public health stakeholder, even if public health is not explicitly part of your mission.
• What's Your SHIP Priority? Tell a story about the potential you see for organizations to work together to improve a SHIP priority area in your community.
To learn more about how to apply for a grant through the Video Challenge, visit www.healthycommunities.illinois.gov and click on the Video Challenge tab. All applications are due by March 17, 2013.


text: Make Your Deer Hunting Land Better for Big Bucks M.D. Johnson - November 03, 2017 (Photo by Ron Sinfelt) An aerial map of prospective hunting land can pinpoint areas best for a whitetail's habits for feeding, drinking and bedding down. (Photo by Ron Sinfelt) Identifying a property's strengths and weaknesses for whitetails can help improve the quality of deer hunting land. It's basic human nature to buy something and immediately, no matter how perfect or pristine the object might be, start fiddling around with it. Fixing it. Improving it.Property is certainly no different, and hunting land perhaps heads the whitetail enthusiast's list of ongoing projects. But what can be done to make a parcel — any size parcel, and anywhere — more attractive to deer in general, and trophy bucks specifically? Or, rather, what should be done?"It (the improvement projects) can vary," said Stephen French, a four-year land specialist professional with Whitetail Properties. "But the first thing I would suggest doing, and regardless of whether the property is large or small, is to get an aerial map of the property and the properties around it. And the smaller the property, the more important this (overview) is. What you're looking for is what's there."For deer, what's available and what's not. Is the property agricultural rather than cover? If so, you'll want to create that cover. Is the nearest water a mile away? If that's the case," he continued, "then you might want to go in and dig a pond. Essentially, you want to find out what's lacking, and then create that."Related Content Game Cam Strategy Leads to Monster Buck Oklahoma Hunter Takes Two Big Bucks From Same Stand 3 Reasons Deer Hunting All Day is Smart Long and Short of Long-Range Hunting BulletsTom James, a three-year veteran with Whitetail Properties, suggests a similar approach when evaluating a parcel's needs in terms of what can be done to improve its overall attractiveness to whitetails, and to wildlife in general."Every property," he said, "is unique and different. So first, you need to identify (the property's) strengths and weaknesses. They're like holes in a bucket, and you need to decide which holes to fill first. Whitetails need food, water, shelter, and an environment in which to reproduce. These are the basic necessities. So you identify what the property lacks, and address, then, what it is you need to do. And it's likely," he continued, "these projects will grow more grandiose over time, and with labor and the accumulation of equipment."

The safest way for children to travel in cars is in a child car seat that is suitable for their weight and size, and is correctly fitted in the car.
The law says that children must use a child car seat until they're 12 years old or 135cm tall, whichever comes first.
Only EU-approved child car seats can be used in the UK. These have a label showing a capital 'E' in a circle.
A properly fitted child car seat will help to prevent your child from being thrown about inside the vehicle, or ejected from it, if there is a crash. It will also absorb some of the impact force, and provide some protection from objects intruding into the passenger compartment.
A seat belt on its own will not properly fit your child, until they are at least 135 cm (4'6″) tall, although it's better to wait until they are 150 cm (5ft) or taller before moving them to the seat belt on its own.
There are many different types of car seats divided into categories according to weight of the child. Whilst they broadly correspond to age categories, it is the weight that is most important when choosing the right car seat. There are rearward facing baby seats, forward facing seats, booster seats, booster cushions and Isofix seats.
Height-based car seats are known as 'i-Size' seats. They must be rear-facing until your child is over 15 months old. Your child can use a forward-facing car seat when they're over 15 months old.
You must check the seat to make sure it's suitable for the height of your child.
Choosing and using child car seats
There are very many different types of child car seats available, so take your time when choosing. Visit shops and look around on websites to get a good idea of what seats are available and which ones are likely to be the most suitable for your child and your car.
It is best to take your child and your car with you when choosing your child car seat, and to find a retailer who has staff trained in choosing and fitting child car seats. Try to find a retailer who will help you try the seat in your car before you buy it.
In summary, the child car seat you choose, must:
- Conform to the United Nations standard, ECE Regulation 44.04 (or R 44.03) or to the new i-size regulation, R129. Look for the 'E' mark label on the seat.
- Be suitable for your child's weight and size
- Be correctly fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
For a handy checklist to help decide which car seat may be right for your child, head over to ROSPA's official Car Seats website here. There is also useful advice about buying second hand child seats, replacing a seat after an accident and lots of other useful information.
Fitting a child car seat
You must only use a child car seat if your car's seat belt has a diagonal strap, unless the car seat is either:
- specifically designed for use with a lap seat belt
- fitted using ISOFIX anchor points
You must also:
- deactivate any front airbags before fitting a rear-facing baby seat in a front seat
- not fit a child car seat in side-facing seats
Children with disabilities or medical conditions
The same rules apply for children with disabilities or medical conditions, but they can use a disabled person's seat belt or a child restraint designed for their needs.
A doctor can issue an exemption certificate if a child is unable to use a restraint or seat belt because of their condition.
When a child can travel without a car seat
A child can travel without a child car seat in some circumstances. Click here for more details and information on these circumstances.
Guidance for the length of time that children can sit in a car seat
You can seek advice from the child seat manufacturers about the length of time children should spend in their seat, or speak to a medical professional such as your GP who may be able to give specific advice.
Of course, it's sensible for you as a driver to take a break after two hours of continuous driving. It will stop you from becoming too tired, and will also give your child a break from the car seat.
There has been research warning of the dangers of carrying children in child seats for long periods of time, but this refers to much longer periods than a car journey, and children who are premature or have a low birth weight.
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust runs a confidential secure text messaging service for parents of children aged 0-19 years called Chat Health. The service operates Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, excluding bank holidays. All texts will be responded to by a public health nurse (health visitor/school nurse) within 24 hours. Outside of the service working hours, you'll receive a message back to inform you that your text will be responded to once the line reopens.
Should you require urgent health advice in the meantime, please contact your GP, visit an NHS walk-in centre or call NHS 111. For emergencies, dial 999 or visit A&E.

The partly released X-Plane C172SP gauges have just been updated to version R2. Apart from minor bug fixes, codes of gauges have been revised and optimized to better simulate the response on the aircraft.
In addition, the wet compass is split into two versions to allow users to choose to include or to exclude the OMI markers and NAV/GPS indicators.
Furthermore, the ADF gauge is now added to the list, which counts to 5 gauges in total.
Regarding the remaining six gauges for the X-Plane C172SP, progress is still slow I must say as the driver conversion part is not under my control.
Existing users should have received download links for the updates in the next hour or so. If not, notify me by email or via the Comment Section below.

The Share double dildo is designed to pleasure an active partner and a passive partner simultaneously. Leaving nothing to chance, this dildo is beautifully curved for maximum intensity. The shorter bulb is designed for G-spot pleasure for her, while the 16 cm shaft pleasures her partner. If all these fantastic features make you want to do a happy dance, well go right ahead! The Share is flexible enough to accommodate all kinds of movement and bounce, so get your imagination in on the game, too!
The Share double dildo is made of soft, flexible silicone. The shorter, wider end is perfectly gripped by the vagina as the ridged detail ensures a secure hold, with an extra pump of pleasure as the outer ridge bumps up against the clitoris. The thinner, longer end is great for G-spot and P-spot pleasure and the active partner can massage their passive partner on to an incredible internal orgasm. This double dildo is perfect for use by lesbian couples who love the intensity of a shared orgasm, or for heterosexual couples exploring gender boundaries in the bedroom. While the Share is designed for two, we wouldn't say no to a solo session now and again. Either end makes for a great handle with plenty of grip. No matter how you use it, we guarantee the Share Double Dildo will bring you many hours of pleasure.
This is a very sexy toy, in a way that's different to a normal strap on. A regular strap on dildo is more direct and easier to control in terms of maneuverability but the Share is a more sensual experience, where you work together to move and play. It comes in several stunning colours and you can be assured of superior quality as with all Fun Factory adult toys!

Alex Enumah in Abuja
Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja thursday held that the court was yet to be convinced of the medical condition of the erstwhile spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to warrant his travelling abroad for treatment.
The court consequently refused Metuh's request for leave of court to travel abroad for medical treatment.
Justice Abang had on May 25, 2016, and October 23, 2017, dismissed similar appeals, noting that "there is nothing new in the instant application.â€
He said: "I am wondering, with every sense of responsibility if the 1st defendant (Metuh) is really ill to warrant him being brought to court on a stretcher.
"I have my doubt if the 1st defendant is actually sickâ€.
The judge, doubting the true state of health of Metuh asked, "Why is it that the 1st defendant did not challenge the decision of the trial court at the Court of Appeal.â€
Justice Abang held that Metuh "ought to have timeously appealed for the Court of Appeal to review whether this court was right or wrong in dismissing the applications for leave to travel abroad for medical treatment.
While insisting that it has no jurisdiction to entertain the application the third time, the court reasoned and agreed with the prosecution counsel that the application "Is an unpardonable and reckless abuse of judicial process.â€
Consequently, Justice Abang declared: "I cannot, on account of human sympathy, review my earlier decisions. I am functus officio to sit on appeal over my earlier decisions.â€
On the merit of the application, whether the court can hear it without a medical report, Justice Abang held that before the application would be granted, the 1st defendant is expected to show special circumstances.
It was the court's contention that for Metuh to be able to prove that he needed leave to travel abroad, what was needed was an expert opinion on part of medicine relating to his ill-health.
"It is not the evidence deposed to by Obinna Metuh, the 1st defendant's younger brother, or the persuasive arguments by the defence lawyers that can make the court exercise it's discretion, Justice Abang held.
"What is required for the court to consider is a medical report issued by an expert,†the court said.
Accordingly, Justice Abang stated that, "there was no credible evidence before the court which is compelling, an evidence which shows special circumstances to warrant an order for the release of the 1st defendant's international passport.
The court described affidavit depositions by Obinna, as "speculation and hearsay,†and therefore agreed with the prosecution counsel that all the exhibits tendered by Metuh "are non convincing, and with no medical report.â€
Speaking to journalists outside the courtroom, Metuh, who came to court, supported by arm clutch, expressed worries in the manner his trial was handled but urged his lawyers not to be frustrated.
He stressed that even though he has tendered his evidences and has not done anything unlawful since the commencement of the trial, it appeared the court was bent on convicting him by all means.
His words: "But at the same time, the choice of words and the things that were said in court were frustrating. This is so because in the course of defending this matter, there has been nothing unlawful, illegal or anything wrong we have done. At some point, it might lead to getting the counsel frustrated in the defense of the matter.
"So I have just informed my lawyers that in terms of defense of this matter, if there is anything they are afraid of, I can assure them that I believe in my innocence, and immediately after this witness, I don't think I will allow any other witness to be called.
"I will go to the stand because I don't think there is anything in my case that will lead to conviction.
"But I am not afraid of anything. I have not been afraid of this trial. Rather, I am afraid of my medical condition.
"For the court to question why I should be well during the Christmas period and suddenly fell ill by the end of January was surprising. I am not God. May be some people are but I am not God to decide when somebody falls ill or when he can be healed.â€
