text: My name is Kara Tjelmeland, a photographer based out of the San Diego area. I grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa where I discovered in high school my love for art and my passion for photography. I received my photography degree from Santa Fe University of Art and Design in Santa Fe, New Mexico. While living in Santa Fe I found that what I loved most about photography was that it allowed me to tell a story. From there on out I devoted my work to story telling and trying to see the big picture. I have done this in many different ways, one being my most recent work "The Value of Nothing." This work depicts some of the most deadly traits in people and some would even consider it the seven deadly sins. I have used old greek mythology tales to depict modern problems in the world today. The other way I have tried to see the big picture is through my panoramic images. I love to travel, and I love seeing what the world has to offer, but I feel that one simple photograph can't truly capture the beauty of that place and time. In order to show everything I see in that moment I take multiple photographs and stitch them together to create the entire scene so the viewer may see what I have seen. If you have any questions about me or my work please feel free to contact me via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or like and message me on my Facebook page "Kara Tjelmeland Photography."

The Assads have no strategy beyond pounding away at their troubles. Opposition groups have no strategy beyond begging for international intervention/recognition. The International community has no strategy beyond watching in occasionally genuine horror and disbelief. Only the revolutionaries, peaceful and armed, seem to know what they are doing, and perhaps that suffices.
Tuesday 17, 2012
Today's death toll: 37, mostly in Homs City where loyalist troops intensified their pounding of the restive neighborhoods of Baba Amr, Bayadah, Khaldiyeh and Qoussour.
The towns of the Madaya and Zabadani in Western Damascus continue to be pounded as well, but loyalists have failed to enter the towns and have reportedly incurred heavy casualties as result of their failed attempts.
In addition to the clips below, there were hundreds of videos of daytime and nighttime rallies that took place in all the usual places. By now the patterns have been clearly established: protest rallies are part of the daily routine throughout the country, with few exceptions, notably: Central Damascus, Central Aleppo, and coastal cities.

- Justice at Last!
At 14.01 pm on Wednesday 16 May 2012, prosecutor David Hatton QC stood up in Court 8 of the Royal Courts of Justice. Having listened to opening arguments advanced by Henry Blaxland QC in Sam Hallam's appeal against conviction, Mr Hatton announced, the Crown would no longer oppose the appeal. There was a second or two's silence while his words were absorbed by Sam's supporters packed into the court's public seats. A sustained roar of approval followed as those present realised that the long campaign for justice for Sam Hallam was over. The Vice President of the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division), Lady Justice Hallett called for restored silence stating "I will not have my court turned into a circus".
Those of us sitting in the legal benches were necessarily more restrained in our reaction to the Crown's announcement. I could not but reflect how five years earlier, a much smaller band of supporters listened as the former Vice President, Lord Latham turned the court into a Theatre of the Absurd. In upholding Sam's conviction, Latham VP declared the words of prosecution witness, Bilel Khelfa meant the exact opposite when written down as when he had uttered them at Sam's trial. How such an extraordinary verbal feat was accomplished, Lord Latham did not say (nor did Hallett VP attempt any explanation when she delivered her judgement quashing Sam's conviction the next day).
After a short adjournment, the Court told Sam he would be immediately released on unconditional bail pending his appeal being allowed. News of Sam's impending freedom had already spread to campaigners waiting in the corridor outside Court 8 and outside the Royal Courts of Justice (RCJ) building itself. An agonising hour of legal submissions ensued before the court rose. His legal team went straight to see Sam in the cells below the courts while officials processed his release on bail. He was visibly in shock walking repeatedly on the spot. Sam's barristers Henry Blaxland QC and Peter Willcock QC, his solicitor Matt Foot and I were greeted by thunderous applause from Sam's supporters as we left the cells. There was, however, a problem. Having expected a hard-fought hearing over two days with the prospect of a reserved (delayed) judgement, no arrangements had been made for Sam's walking free that day. In keeping with the admirable standard of self-organisation which has typified the campaign for Sam Hallam, a supporter assured me he would have his car outside the building within minutes (great work, Lee!).
Sam's mother, Wendy and I returned to the area leading to the cells. After a short while, Sam came out. He was understandably anxious to leave the building but we had to warn him that as soon as he turned into the Main Hall, a huge crowd of euphoric supporters awaited him. The RCJ can rarely – if ever – have witnessed the ecstatic cheering which greeted Sam from his supporters when he appeared as a free man with his name cleared. At one point, we were worried that Sam's legs might fail him such was the intense emotion of the moment. Sam was momentarily disconcerted when people surged towards us spraying liquid until we realised they were supporters who had somehow acquired bottles of champagne to celebrate his release in style.
Sam was escorted into the waiting car by his brother Terry accompanied by Wendy to drive to the Hoxton home he last saw when arrested on 20 October 2004. Gathered outside the RCJ was a cross-section of people who had long campaigned for his release and exoneration:- his family, friends and neighbours, actors and other professionals who staged Someone to Blame about Sam's case at Islington's Kings Head Theatre, a campaigner (and now pupil barrister) who'd organised a full chamber orchestra performance outside the Ministry of Justice in support of Sam. Especially satisfying was the presence of campaigners who themselves had been the victims of miscarriages of justice: Annie Maguire and her son Patrick who suffered years of wrongful imprisonment for terrorist offences of which they were entirely innocent, Nora and Breda Power – wife and daughter of Billy Power of the Birmingham Six. Gerry Conlon of the Guildford Four and Paddy Hill of the Birmingham Six (who both visited Sam's mother at her home in 2009) sent messages of support for Sam's appeal.
It was also gratifying that a Commissioner and staff from the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) as well as the Senior Investigating Officer who led Thames Valley Police's inquiry into Sam's case were present. There are those who allege CCRC personnel merely respond passively to applications claiming wrongful conviction and never investigate cases for themselves. Sam Hallam's case gives the lie to such claims. Without the painstaking work of the CCRC and Thames Valley Police, it's highly unlikely Sam's wrongful murder conviction would ever have been overturned.
The Sam Hallam Campaign has achieved its objective and will shortly disband. Many broader issues will be pursued by those who have been involved in Sam's case including possible litigation against the Metropolitan Police, compensation for Sam's years of wrongful imprisonment, a review of Crown Prosecution Service actions, restoration of CCRC budget cuts and changes to the law concerning identification evidence In the meantime, please check out another injustice inflicted since 1991 on Eddie Gilfoyle whose case is currently awaiting a decision by the CCRC.

What is an amap ?
AMAP (Association pour le Maintien d'une Agriculture Paysanne) is a special way to commercialize what local farmers produce. The base of this system is the partnership between a farmer and a consumer. It's a united and long term commitment, which goal is to maintain small and local farms. By joining AMAP, people can be fully aware of the current farming situation and reality, and understand the need to support small farmers who live around them. Citizens become more involved in the process of making farming a viable and autonomous activity, and also attractive for young people.
The first AMAP started in 2001 in le Var (south east of France). Similar systems of food distribution were available earlier in other countries like Japan or United States with different names. Nowadays, more than 1600 AMAP exist all over France, and the success of this system is getting bigger and bigger.
The first AMAP started in 2001 in le Var (south east of France). Similar systems of food distribution were available earlier in other countries like Japan or United States with different names. Nowadays, more than 1600 AMAP exist all over France, and the success of this system is getting bigger and bigger.
how does it work ?
AMAP doesn't have a pre-fix procedure, and many kinds exist according to the needs of local farmers and consumers.
But some points are common to make it work :
1) a contract between one farmer and one consumer during 6 months usually (one contract for spring/summer, and one contract for automn/winter)
2) they decide together about quantity, diversity and price. It can be all kind of products (fruits, vegetables, eggs, meat, cheese, etc.). The price has to be fair by allowing the farmer to have a decent income, and the consumer to pay at a reasonable price
3) the farmers propose their products once a week, depending on what they have in the farm, especially the vegetable farmers
4) the consumers pay at the beginning of the contract so that the farmer income is secure and the cost of production is covered
5) a volunteer commitee is formed, which includes treasurers for each farmer and one coordinator for the whole AMAP
6) a meeting is organised at least once a year for an assessment and a forecast according to the needs of everyone.
What are the advantages for a farmer ?
- You don't pass through a middleman so you can sell your products at the real cost of your production
- Paying in advance is a good financial security. Farmers can prepare seeds, fertilizers, animals, and all the other products accordingly for the whole season
- It's a good social time with your consumers and other farmers. You can be with a group and get help if you have any problems in your farm
- Farmers can focus solely on production because the volunteers commitee takes care of all the other paperwork (payment collection, contracts, organisation)
What are the advantages for a consumer ?
We had the occasion to be part of the AMAP of Garazi (Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Pays Basque) for almost 1 year. This was a great experience for many reasons. First, you can eat good quality products from local farms every week. We ate diversified and seasonal food, and we discover new ways to cook all kinds of vegetables and try new recipes.
But the mean benefit for us was to have a direct link with local farmers, and feel useful to support their activity. You can talk and share with them every week during the distribution (every wednesday between 6h30 and 7h30 pm). It's a good opportunity to meet and share ideas with farmers, but also with other consumers.

The Angle
Article Title
First Page
Last Page
In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"Clarissa watched from her wheelchair in the corner of the lobby at the spectacle in the center of the room between the red faced spunky girl and Fred. Fred was one of the day doormen at 1600 Beechwood Terrace, the elderly care facility that Clarissa lived in. The southern gentleman was currently responsible for the rise in the girl's voice level, as she hostily directed her question to him once more, 'So you mean to tell me that ALL the stairways are being painted and I HAVE to take the elevator.' Fred's slow Georgian drawl lazily replied, 'Yessum maamaam, taat's riitght.'"

Founded by Janelle Bremer in 2012, Good Clean Food Hawaii grew out of a need for clean & convenient meals on Oahu that would allow people to eat health without the hassle of shopping, cooking, & cleaning. GCF is focused on creating Paleo meals made from the best local ingredients available. We believe that food matters and hope that our services can help the islands become stronger and healthier through smart nutrition and movement.
The Paleo diet is based on research & belief that for optimal health, humans should go back to eating real, whole unprocessed foods that are more healthful than harmful to our bodies, similar to that of our ancestors. In general, Paleo means to:
Eat whole, unprocessed, nutrient-dense, nourishing foods.
Avoid foods that will harm us by causing systemic inflammation, wrecking our guts, or derailing our natural metabolic processes.

Mobile gaming has become a very popular trend in recent times and if you love playing games on your mobile then one of the best things to do is to download the most popular games that you will find. Although there are a number of games that are popular on mobile devices, GTA by far tops the list. One of the major reasons why GTA is so popular is because it's been around for so long that people have gotten used to playing this game. GTA is one of the most addictive games that you will find and if you download it on your phone you will never have a bored moment irrespective of where you are.
While the game is free to download on all leading mobile platforms, it comes with limited amount of money and once you run out of this money you need to pay to get more. However, you can also choose to use the gta 5 online money hack which will help you to get this money without paying anything for it. This is an online hack which is safe and highly effective to use.
One of the best things about this hack is it comes with an auto update feature. This means that this hack gets updated each time the game is updated. Each game gets updated almost on a daily basis to fix several bugs. Other hacks cannot keep up with these updates.
However with this hack, you have a feature where the hack upgrades itself as per the changes made to the game. This means that you can continue using the hack as long as you are enjoying this game. There will be no need for you to ever look for another hack. This is something that you will not get with other hacks.…

From The Hills Below The City Quick ViewADAD-ROU-6211xHoundmouth
From The Hills Below The CityHoundmouth is comprised of four musicians from New Albany, IN, across the
river from Louisville - hence 'From the Hills Below the City.' Matt Myers (guitar/
vocals), Katie Toupin (keyboard/vocals), Zak Appleby (bass/vocals) and Shane
Cody (drums/vocals) spent the past year building a passionate following in their
hometown and touring with the Alabama Shakes, the Lumineers, Grace Potter,
and the Drive-By Truckers. "Houndmouth is a great young band," testifies Patterson Hood of the Truckers. "They 'brought it' each and every night. They were
extremely popular with our fanbase and our band. I look forward to hearing what
they do next."
The 12 original songs on 'From The Hills Below the City' are packed with tales
of down-on-their-luck drug runners, casinos, riverboats, recession-era scraping,
and more. All members of Houndmouth sing, "leading with individual character
and harmonizing in saloon-choir empathy," writes Rolling Stone's David Fricke,
and their songs have a loose-limbed swing, anchored by a sturdy rhythm and a
cagey melodic sensibility.

Falling Faster Than You Can Run Quick ViewREDD-MYV-3866xNathaniel Rateliff
Falling Faster Than You Can RunWell, it doesn't take long for Falling Faster Than You Can Run to reveal that Nathaniel Rateliff isn't in a very good place. His deep funk is revealed very quickly on the opening track 'Still Trying': "If you roll in it long enough/your shit won't even smell" sings Rateliff, in between crying out, unaccompanied, "I don't know/I don't know/a god damned thing".
And that's the feeling that sticks throughout this, often very fine, new record from Denver, Colorado's Missouri-born Rateliff. On his second full-length album (dropping the & the Wheel from his name) loneliness is writ large: not the kind of loneliness from actually being along, but the kind that comes from being constantly surrounded by people yet unable to shake the feeling of complete isolation. Rateliff has toured with many, many acts over the past few years and most recently has spent time with Dr Dog and fellow Denver act (and friends) The Lumineers. Thankfully, Rateliff rarely sounds like his friends (you might say I'm not a fan) and instead writes and plays music with a lot of heart and soul. It's often his voice that's the star of the show thanks to the subtly-arranged instrumentation: part matured Kurt Wagner burr and part throat-ravaged bluesman ( a bit The Tallest Man on Earth) it's a voice you could listen to all day. But good voice is nothing without good songs, and Rateliff comes with plenty of ammunition on Falling Faster Than You Can Run.
"Still Trying" is an arresting opener; while Rateliff's heart-wrenching roars are the highlight, the backing isn't too shabby either - acoustic guitar and bass drum battle for the spotlight on a ragged country song, and it sounds authentic, like Rateliff has lived what he's singing. And things get better quickly: "I Am" is mostly just Rateliff and his guitar, as broaches his isolation singing: "you'll never know what's buried there / less you dig around". The music swells as he sings the title over and over, following a similar pattern to the album opener. But before things get too familiar, Rateliff picks up the pace with a couple of full band numbers that could almost be considered jaunty, if we were to ignore the lyrics. "Don't Get Too Close" is fine enough and ticks over nicely like a quickstep, but "Laborman" is even better. Like Wilco at their poppiest, it flies off on crunchy and bright electric guitars which belies the lyrical content: "I got a feelin' / a sleepin' depression / that somebody's gonna get hurt", sings Rateliff, followed by "you got the harness/so where you gonna drag me now?" You can see a pattern developing here; Rateliff's stuck somewhere he doesn't want to be, lonely, but how does he get out of it? Take another look at that album cover too - a couple share a bed, an arm reaches out yet it doesn't touch the other person. It's basically a visual encapsulation of what's being sung about.
The epic electric storm of "Forgetting Is Believing" leads a trio of great closing tracks, ending with the Lambchop-murmur of the title track. Rateliff's baritone is exposed and dusty as he sings "leave me alone/you can see me fall/faster than you can run", ending as he started the record - alone and isolated.
Falling Faster Than You Can Run feels, through the dirt, the shit and the whisky, and despite the loneliness, like a hard-earned triumph for Nathaniel Rateliff.

The Ash & ClayThe Ash & Clay culminates a whirlwind first year of the Milk Carton Kids' existence. In that short time the duo of Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan have built a vibrant following with the simple purity of their music: touring with the Lumineers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Punch Brothers, and KD Lang; appearing on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series; charming audiences with their deadpan on-stage humor (riffing on the Smothers Brothers for young fans who have never heard of the Smothers Brothers); offering their debut album for free to willing fans - over 110,000 downloaded - from their website; and grabbing press acclaim usually reserved for veteran artists. A sweetly dazzling variation on closeharmony vocals, part Simon and Garfunkel and part Everly Brothers, with occasional acoustic prestidigitation," proclaimed The New York Times. With three new Milk Carton Kids songs - "Snake Eyes," "The Ash & Clay" and "The Jewel of June" - featured in the new Gus Van Sant film Promised Land starring Matt Damon, 2013 looks to be a big year for these Kids.

"The most unique person i know in the world, incredible charisma. He sees things in a way that nobody else sees them, which is why his music is beautiful." - Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons
"There is a boldness to Simone's writing, the fierceness and fearlessness of complete honesty that pushes into places that simply take the breath away some of his songs are so perfectly formed they sound like they might have been around forever..." - The Telegraph

These Changing Skies (Awaiting Repress)The five members of Elephant Revival share a deep commitment to certain ideals: community, recognizing one's place in the flow of the natural world, harmony. Holding on to those ideals in the midst of heady career growth and strong individual
creative forces could be difficult, but they weather these storms with aplomb, and in doing so, have produced their best album to date. It is a document about striving for transcendence under These Changing Skies which was recorded at legendary
Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, WA and was produced and mixed by Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Brandi Carlile, The Walkmen).
Elephant Revival formed on the banks of Spring Creek in Tahlequah, Oklahoma and then relocated to Nederland, Colorado in fall of 2006. They loved one another's sense of shared values and the way that their disparate musical influences began to form a more cohesive tapestry the more they played together.
"It really is a natural confluence of our elemental influences," says bassist/multi-instrumentalist Dango Rose. Those elemental influences extend beyond the musical to a world view that is expressed not only through the music, but in their lyrics.1. Birds and Stars

The DeslondesHailed by NPR as "deft assemblers of a sound that traverses decades and styles with humble grace," New Orleans band The Deslondes mine from the rich history of American music to craft their compelling and wholly unique eponymous debut album, released on New West Records.
Co-produced by the band and in-demand producer Andrija Tokic (Benjamin Booker, Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff) at his Nashville studio The Bomb Shelter, the 12 tracks are influenced by classic soul, rock 'n' roll, R&B, folk, roots country, swamp-boogie, honky-tonk and pre-war music and introduce a collective of gifted singer-songwriters with a deep love for the past and a palpable passion for the present. "They manage to resurrect a lost sound, exclaimed Rolling Stone in their "20 Reasons To Love This Year" preview, adding, "Stax and Sun records are distinct touch points, as are upright-bass-driven melodies - while giving it a modern, vibrant swing, building on the foundations of old-time traditions without sounding like they're stepping out of a time machine."
Comprised of five distinct songwriting voices, The Deslondes endeavor to carry on the traveling troubadour tradition of their heroes Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt. The Deslondes have also toured the country extensively and have supported the Alabama Shakes, Old Crow Medicine Show, Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Lumineers, John Fullbright, Michael Kiwanuka, Spirit Family Reunion and performed at last summer's Newport Folk Festival.1.

Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? Quick ViewREDI-EVE-3788xMetric
Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?They say there's no time like the present; what they really mean is there's no such thing as the present. Five seconds into the future will be five seconds in the past once you finish reading this sentence. Translated into rock 'n' roll, terms, it means you're either ahead of your time or past your prime. And we're cool with that. We like categories and demographics and timelines because they allow us not to think; everything can be explained with the check of a box or a dot on a graph. But Metric don't let you off that easy. Their measures are decidedly cubist: eternal, multilayered portraits of instantaneous moments, the luminous blur of street life rendered as a freeze-tableaux, daily rituals portrayed in a fantastical light. This is music born out of sly, considered observation instead of gratuitous introspection - which makes it refreshingly anomalous in an era when so much popular music fudges the line between self-absorption and self-parody. Their debut album, OLD WORLD UNDERGROUND, WHERE ARE YOU NOW? launched Metric's career and helped to usher in a wave (or New Wave) of Canadian indie bands such as Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire. They have since gone on to sell over a million singles and 500,000 albums worldwide.Finally available on vinyl, the album sounds as urgent and timeless today as it did in 2003 and like all of Metric's music to date, OLD WORLD UNDERGROUND, WHERE ARE YOU NOW? isn't so much a summation of influences as experiences. The old world underground they so romanticize; they're not sure if it ever truly existed.1. IOU

Slowmotionary Quick ViewWARB-SIR-4235xEthan Gruska
SlowmotionaryEthan Gruska's solo debut, the luminous Slowmotionary, embraces a range of sounds and styles, with influences from jazz and folk to ambient and alternative, Slowmotionary integrates everything into a whole that is original, idiosyncratic and embraces its own imperfections. I really tried to let that humanity in and to not only leave these quirky blemishes in, but to highlight them, says Gruska. I didn't want perfect. I wanted true. I wanted honest. He made room for a little serendipity in his creative process, sensing that too calculated an approach would diminish the impact of the music. That spontaneity provided a wonderful counterpoint to his thoughtful and revealing lyrics. Showcasing Gruska's hushed vocals and subtle arrangements, these songs resonate with the intimacy of an internal monologue, as though we're sharing in his darkest worries.
The goal was to have it be like a sound collage that I had made. It was really exploratory, with a lot of sampling and reversing-techniques I had tried in the past but had never gotten to fully explore. The results are beautifully minimalist: songs as whispered confidences, with what Gruska calls an arctic sound, windswept and cold, befitting lyrics that depict moments frozen in time. I didn't want to hide behind anything. That's why it's produced and arranged the way it is. It's very barren at certain moments. These songs slow down time for me, which is why I called it Slowmotionary. I needed to put myself out there musically and lyrically.
And that meant not making it perfect. It meant making these songs sound like the results from something other than a studio. It meant conveying the sense of music that is being written at the same moment you hear it. A lot of the record is mysterious, even to me. It's not something you always tap your foot to. You're listening to my thought process.1. The Valley

Best Of Quick ViewADAD-NET-0914xOld Crow Medicine Show
Best Of
Deluxe Vinyl Gatefold Package Includes Bonus Red Colored 7" Vinyl
Featuring The Platinum Single "Wagon Wheel" Plus Two Previously Unreleased Tracks
Two-time Grammy Award winners and Grand Ole Opry members Old Crow Medicine Show release Best Of, which features
12 of the most memorable and beloved songs from O.C.M.S. (2004), Big Iron World (2006), Tennessee Pusher (2008) - as well
as two previously unreleased tracks: "Black Haired Quebecoise" and "Heart Up In The Sky." The album will be made
available on vinyl, a format on which none of these songs are currently available and many have never been.
Over the past 15 years, Old Crow Medicine Show has cultivated a diverse fan base that thrives on the band's energetic
performances. They have earned the respect of both their peers and influences while also influencing the new guard of
folk rock revivalists. While trends have come and gone, Old Crow Medicine Show continues to be a strong and steady
force in roots music. The Best Of is a nostalgic walk down memory lane for those who have been with the band since
the beginning, and a nice overview for those fans who have only discovered the band recently.
Old Crow Medicine Show got their start by busking on street corners up and down the east coast and Canada, eventually
catching the attention of folk icon Doc Watson while playing in front of a pharmacy in Boone, North Carolina. He invited
them to play Merlefest and helped set the course of their successful career.
Similarly, just a few years later, Nettwerk discovered the band by crashing a house party in Nashville. The band was signed
shortly after, and in 2004, Nettwerk released O.C.M.S., which featured the now Platinum-selling anthem "Wagon Wheel," one
of the most covered recordings in recent history, most famously by Darius Rucker who got the track to #1 on the Hot Country
Songs chart in 2013.
Old Crow Medicine Show has won over audiences across the world with their boundless energy and spirit, playing renowned
festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella, New Orleans Jazz Fest, the Newport Folk Festival, and many more. They've also shared
the stage with such artists as Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Willie Nelson, John Prine and The Avett Brothers and others.
The Best Of features "Wagon Wheel" along with other live show fan favorites like "Tell It To Me," "Down Home Girl," "CC Rider"
and "I Hear Them All." The two previously unreleased tracks, "Black Haired Quebecoise" and "Heart Up in the Sky" were
recorded in 2006 while the band was making Big Iron World.1. Wagon Wheel (from O.C.M.S. album)

I Am The CosmosClear Colored Vinyl
I Am the Cosmos is an enduring testament to the brilliance of Chris Bell; lyrically poignant and melodically stunning, this lone solo album is proof positive of his underappreciated pop mastery. While cuts like Get Away, I Got Kinda Lost, and Fight at the Table recall the glowing, energetic power pop of Bell's earlier work, the majority of the songs on I Am the Cosmos are more reflective and deeply personal; the title track is a harrowingly schizophrenic tale of romantic despair, while other cuts like the lurching Better Save Yourself and the lovely Look Up are infused with a spiritual power largely missing from his Big Star material.
The album's highlight, You and Your Sister -- which features backing vocals from none other than Bell's Big Star mate Alex Chilton -- is simply one of the great unknown love songs in the pop canon, a luminous and fragile ballad almost otherworldly in its beauty.

Centipede Hz Quick ViewADAD-DOM-1014$21.99Buy Now
Centipede HzCentipede Hz was co-produced by Animal Collective and Ben H. Allen III and recorded at Sonic Ranch studios in Tornillo TX (outside of El Paso) by Ben H. Allen III and mixed at Maze Studios in Atlanta, GA by Ben H. Allen III.
Centipede Hz is the tenth full length Animal Collective album following the widely celebrated Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009) and also the first since Strawberry Jam (2007) to feature all four original band members: Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist and Deakin. As the album's opening bars of drum crashes and radio interference on "Moonjock" immediately make clear, having returned as a four piece, Animal Collective have made their most widescreen and fully realized music to date.
Once touring for Merriweather Post Pavilion was concluded at the end of 2009, Animal Collective released their visual album Oddsac on DVD. The film was also screened internationally at theaters and film festivals. The band created Transverse Temporal Gyrus, an installation for the Guggenheim Museum in New York City and subsequently released a 12" single of the performance and launched a website to distribute music from the event. The period between Merriweather Post Pavilion and Centipede Hz also saw the release of two solo albums: Avey Tare's Down There (2010) and Panda Bear's Tomboy (2011).
Regrouping as a four piece with original member Deakin once more in the band, Animal Collective reconvened in their native Baltimore in January-March of 2011 to write material for Centipede Hz with a further session later in the year. Rather than swapping ideas over the internet and file-sharing Animal Collective were, for the first time in many years, exchanging ideas in the same room by playing live instruments.
As a result Panda Bear returned to playing a sit-down drum kit for the first time since Here Comes The Indian (2003) and Geologist began playing live keyboards again. Along with using some of the samplers and sequencers with which they had previously been writing, the sound of Centipede Hz draws on the dynamics and energy of Animal Collective playing together as a band. The return of Deakin is at its most marked in "Wide Eyed," a song that he wrote, featuring his first ever lead-vocal performance and whose title captures the mood of Centipede Hz perfectly.
Part of the inspiration for Centipede Hz included the band's memories of growing up listening to station announcements and commercials on the radio and imagining the after life of radio signals from the past, forgotten transmissions that are now lost in space and broadcasting music from other planets for other life forms. This is reflected in the sound of Centipede Hz, which features the white noise of radio interference and buried frequencies overlaid with the band's peerless melodic sensibilities and compositional methods. The result is a panoramic set of songs that shimmer with the confidence and wonder of Animal Collective's unique inner logic and the luminous warmth of their sound world.
Animal Collective: Avey Tare (vocals, synthesizers, piano, guitar, sampler, sequencer, percussion); Panda Bear (vocals, drums, sampler, percussion); Deakin (vocals, baritone guitar, sampler, percussion); Geologist (sampler, synthesizers, piano, percussion) with: Dave Scher (Beachwood Sparks, All Night Radio) lap steel guitar on "Today's Supernatural," "New Town Burnout," "Pulleys," and "Gotham," and melodica on "Rosie Oh" and Riverside Middle School Choir, which sings on "Father Time" and "New Town Burnout."1.

Beethoven: Triple Concerto (Speakers Corner)
Why does the piano part seem comparatively simple in contrast to the violin and cello parts, which make the highest demands on the instrumentalists? And why on earth do three musicians play in concert with an orchestra? As interesting as these questions are with regard to Beethoven's cryptic Triple Concerto, there is a multitude of ways to approach this exceptional work by the great symphonist. In the gallantry of the expression, and keeping in mind the demand for playable parts for his invited circle of musical connoisseurs, Beethoven developed his very own concertante tonal language. This language is brought to life by Rudolf Serkin (piano), Jaime Laredo (violin) and Leslie Parnas (cello) in that they enter continually newly arranged dialogues and thereby offer the listener a warm palette of colours and melodies.
The orchestral antagonists - the Marlboro Festival Orchestra - weaves a chamber music-like, delicate and wonderfully transparent carpet of sound, upon which Beethoven's characteristic woodwind instruments are bedded like roses. Thanks to these attributes, this recording appears to take place in the luminous glow of a private house and thus conveys a charming yet stimulating atmosphere.

- Jaime Laredo (vocals)

Recording: May 1962 at Columbia 30th Street Studio, New York, by Ed Michalski and John Johnson

About Speakers Corner
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Speakers Corner all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s - or employed existant tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasise that Speakers Corner Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle. We have one digital recording in our catalogue (Alan Parsons / Eye In The Sky"), but even in this particular case we used the analogue tapes for cutting.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects - excluding the exception above - and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.$34.99180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed Buy Now

Arbor Tech offers stump grinding service from Charlottesville to the Washington DC Border including Northern Virginia, Fairfax, Fauquier County, Leesburg, Ashburn, Loudoun County, Purceville, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Stafford County, and Fredericksburg. We offer affordable stump grinding work and use advanced technology to do so. Normally, stumps are ground to about 6 inches below grade, unless requested otherwise. We also leave the stump chips for you to use later on if you wish.
Many homeowners are left with a stump after they cut down a tree from their property. We offer tree stump removal services for those households. Stumps are not very aesthetically appealing and that is why we offer to grind and remove these eyesores. Removing tree stumps is necessary as they take up your valuable garden space and can even be hazardous. We are experienced, skilled, and take complete precautions at our work site.
Grinding the stumps down below the surface of the topsoil allows for immediate restoration of the turf or area in which the stump was removed without having to wait for the natural decaying or rotting process which could take years to occur. Grinding the stumps is also a beneficial and proactive measure to take so as not to promote termite or other unwanted infestation that comes with decaying wood.
Contact us to hire our services and enjoy a clean and attractive landscape around your house.

This is a really tough call. NE went down to -4. I really thought 6 was a good number and the money coming in on Philly bringing it to -4.5 would eventually get back to 5 with late cash on NE. That hasnt happened... Im going Pats -4 but may change in the next hour.
One prop that i liked was Lagerette Blount to score a TD but SB only has it listed for the first half.
Another prop that I like is Justin Timberlake to expose one of Prince Holograms nipples which is at +180 right now.
Good luck everyone!

CHART-TOPPING drummer Bernie Dwyer loved a good party - so he arranged his own funeral.
Bernie was one of the stars of Manchester's chart-topping Freddie and the Dreamers - the band which made pop history with simultaneous numbers one, two and three, in the US charts.
And when he knew he hadn't long to live he organised a party at his local club which went on just hours before he died.
Former Dreamers from the band, friends and relatives, along with pal Kevin Kennedy, from Coronation Street, were at the happy farewell at West Didsbury's Albert Club near his home.
Dreamers Pete Birrell and Derek Quinn were there, and Roy Crewdson, who lives in Tenerife, rang Bernie for a chat. Freddie Garrity, the lead singer, who is ill, could not be there.
Tributes were paid at the event to funnyman Dreamer Bernie and the party ended with a lively rendition of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
The following morning, Bernie was taken, as planned, to St Ann's hospice in Heald Green, Cheadle - and died two hours after he arrived.
His brother John, from Altrincham, said: "Bernie learned six months ago that he had cancer and began to have small parties with his pals. He worked out that the last party was his 49th and that his 50th would be at the funeral.
Bernie, who was 62, arranged the details for his funeral next Friday organised the food and drinks for everyone after his cremation ceremony at Manchester's Southern Cemetery in Chorlton. He named his nephews at the pallbearers and set out the funeral music.
To accompany the exit from the crematorium, Bernie chose the Dreamers 1963 hit If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody.
The Dreamers other big successes included I'm Telling You Now, You Were Made for Me, and I Understand.
The group's songs topped the pop charts in countries all over the world, including America, where they were hugely popular.
John said today: "He knew the day before that he was going to the hospice and was determined to enjoy a last party with his friends.
"But he had also prepared everything for the end - and shortly after he arrived at St Ann's hospice, he just quietly slipped away."
With his renowned sense of humour, he would have been amused to realise that his funeral would be held on Friday the Thirteenth.
Manchester pop impresario Danny Betesh, who was the Dreamers' agent, said: "It is typical of Bernie - he lived life to the full and was always full of life, with a wonderful sense of humour.
"Freddie and the Dreamers were not just a very successful pop band, but fine all-round entertainers."
The requiem Mass is on Friday at St Ambrose Catholic Church on Princess Parkway at 9.45am , followed by the cremation.
