347 – Fathoming
This is the second in a series of pieces where I use random methods to influence the completed work.
For this piece, I simply repeated the previous method, using old work as a source, starting with six new loops, however this time I cut down the total number of overall loops from sixty to thirty six (mainly because my poor little laptop was struggling).
The title comes from the dream which I just woke from this morning after drifting off when listening to the final version on a loop before sleep. I was diving, but couldn't seem to get back to the surface and was helped by a whale. I think the recent story about Cetaceans helping to save the life of one of their own must have influenced this.
If you like drone, I hope you'll like this.

Can anybody identify this please. Not sure if it's a fungi or a mould or maybe the eggs of something like a slug.
It/they were under a very damp piece of ritting wood - possibly grey poplar.
it looks like a slime mould, possibly Tubifera ferruginosa, the Raspberry slime mould, (other images available through that link).

"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection"
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the most bitter."
"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."
"How can we know ourselves? Never by reflection, but only through action. Begin at once to do your duty and immediately you will know what is inside you."
"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection."
"Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief."
"Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away."
"How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking."
"Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action."

- (Out For Stardom)
This radio-friendly sampler of the debut album from Seattle's Katie Kate (real name Katie Finn) is a stellar introduction to an exceptional, multifaceted talent that refreshingly tackles hip-hop, electronic, and pop in a bold, focused manner. Vocally, she boasts a mean, nimble, commanding rap flow in addition to a more playful pop singing style that often recalls Robyn. Katie also handles all the beats, crafting slick, diverse, propulsive electronic-enhanced beats, with two of the featured cuts "Copehagen," "Rüdiger") placing the spotlight squarely on her innovative production skills. 9/2/2011 - Alex

i think martin is a good player and the knicks should try and top the nets deal to him. he would be a great player next to marbury.
i think martin is a good player and the knicks should try and top the nets deal to him. he would be a great player next to marbury.
um no.
I think not becauseTim Thomas and Kenyon Martin hate each other and not might get along in the court.
nobody likes wal-mart and i dont think the fans would want him here. and who would we give them
We can't afford the salary Martin want's anyway. He's looking for a ton of money in free agency.
One outta three ain't bad.
Knicks couldn't go after Martin even if they wanted to.
They are way over the salary cap and the only thing they have to work with is the 5 million exception. Martin wants way more than that, not to mention that every other team in the NBA gets the same exception to work with. I just hope the Knicks get lucky with this exception by handing someone a 6 year deal. But its going to be real hard when going against teams that have money under the cap to work with additional to the exception.
martin is not thats good with out kidd. most of his points come off kidds assests. with out him he is nothing!!!!
if they had a chance, which they dont, of course the yshould try to get him, hes clearly better than tim thomas, and is sadly...one of the better big men in the east, his defense and rebounding and dunks would def excite the crowd, hed also be a perfect compliment for steph, so yeah they should go after him, but i dont see it happening
if the knicks had the money to get him than the knicks should get him.....i dont like wat he did in the knicks series but he is a good player
martin is ether going to denver or the hawks they offered him the most money

Dr. Steve Greene is now sharing stories, teachings, and conversations with guests who lead with love on Love Leads, a new podcast. Listen now.
As a new day began to dawn over Ziklag, a new day began to dawn in David's heart. He had spent the night wearing the linen ephod and seeking the Lord. In the middle of the night God had spoken to him and said, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all." A day earlier everything seemed hopeless, but now things were changing. David had a word from God, and with that word David had found fresh faith and a new hope. Yesterday all David could see was a bleak future of loss and sorrow, but today he had a new vision-a vision of victory and recovering all. David had reoriented his vision from the dismal ashes of the present to the hopeful potential of the future.
As the men began to gather around David after their own sleepless night, they watched him take off the linen ephod and give it back to Abiathar. They could see that David looked different. He had that faraway look in his eyes; he could see something they could not see. David had the eye of the eagle. I can imagine one of David's chief lieutenants asking, "What is it, David? What do you see?"
I can hear David answering, "I see victory." Then David began to prophesy his vision to those men. "We are going to rise up. We are going to pursue the Amalekites who have destroyed our homes, stolen our possessions, and taken our families. We are going to overtake them, and without a doubt, we are going to recover all! Everything! Every wife, every son, every daughter. We are going to take back all of our livestock, all our silver, and all of our gold. We are going to recover all."1
Spontaneously the men began to shout and cheer. They held their swords high and shouted David's prophetic mantra, "Recover all!" Suddenly the negative energy of despondency and self-pity had been replaced by the positive energy of a new faith expectation. What had happened? A man of vision had prophesied hope back into hopeless men. He had reoriented their vision. Instead of focusing on what had happened and the loss of the present moment, these men now had a vision of recovery that energized them toward productive activity and a victorious future.
To recover all on the worst day of your life you must reorient your vision. The present crisis can cast you into darkness like a total eclipse of the sun. The crisis can move between you and the light of God, casting a dark shadow over your life and paralyzing you from engaging in productive activity. The terrible thing that has happened can appear so big that it seems impossible to focus on anything else. The crisis becomes the only thing you can see. That's when you must reorient your vision; you must find a way to look beyond the crisis and establish a vision of recovering all. That's when God's word is like a light shining in a dark place.
God's word to David was, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all." David now knew that it was God's will for him to recover all. He was no longer hesitant. He was no longer beleaguered by doubt. Momentary doubt is the natural consequence of receiving the kind of blow that Ziklag delivers-it's like having the wind knocked out of you. It's having the faith knocked out of you. You must reorient your vision toward the promises of God in such a way that you recover your faith and shake off the doubt. He who doubts is like a wave upon the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. You will not receive anything from God while lingering in the duplicity of doubt. Doubt allowed to linger too long will produce dangerous emotional and spiritual instability.2

R.E.M.: Now 75% Heterosexual!
Sound the alarms: Michael Stipe of REM recently shocked fans around the globe by officially coming out of the closet (to "help some kid somewhere"!), the closet he's already been out of for say, one meeellion centuries. But Michael's not the only one with a groundbreaking announcement to make. Apparently his bandmates, Mike Mills and Peter Buck, have been waiting all these years to make an earth-shattering declaration regarding their own sexual preferences. In the clip above, hear Stipe outs his bandmates, complete with a prepared hand-written statement. ('Cuz he's nervous! Cute!)
Coming out of the heterosexual closet can be a real toughie these days, considering the popularity of all those Lance Bass/Ellen Degeneres covers that outsell all the covers in the land. But we, along with Stipe, applaud Mills for his daring proclamation, and totally understand why he couldn't quite bring himself to share his straightness with the world himself. (Sarcasm aside, did anyone else nearly orgasm when Stipe giggled at the end? Girl, boy, straight, gay, that man is a dish.)

|Lake, Penitente, and Tesuque...all via Raven's Ridge. A great hike, great summits (at least Lake and Penitente), but too many people. My favorite part of the hike was Raven's Ridge, and heading over to Penitente Peak which had nobody.
Climbed this a second time 28 October 2016. From the parking lot to summit 1:33.

|I demolished the hike up Ravens Ridge. So quick and efficent that someone will probably write a book about it. The only problem is that the knife Edge that seperates Penitente and Leak peak is a tourist congestion F* Fest. Not only do you have to wait in line, to go through certain sections, you also have to listen to them say how easy it was to take the ski lift up and walk over.

|Go lost in the snow on my first try. This time, no problems. Great summit.

|I climbed Lake Peak several times in early 2004, sometimes alone, sometimes with others. It's easy when you work at Ski Santa Fe in the slow season (I was a good boy, clocked out first). I had a wonderful day up there with the woman who a year and a half later became my wife.
Climbed again 4.9.06. Some snow in the trees on Raven's Ridge, but easy going. Best half-day thrill around Santa Fe!

|We reached the summit on beautiful clear day in June. Still plenty of snow to deal with in the trees at that time, but nothing above treeline. Great views of Truchas group. And the bristlecones under Deception are way cool!

|It was cold and very cloudy, but there was no lightning at all. We climbed up Raven's ridge to the peak, descended the north-west ridge, dropped down into Nambe bowl, glissaded a bit there, and went down to Nambe lake. From there we walked down the canyon a bit and then climbed a steep, snowy chute back up to Raven's ridge to avoid the seemingly endless slog from Nambe creek back to the wilderness boundary on the Windsor trail.

|I've climbed it three times in the winter and once in the summer. The summer was easier but the winter was much more, uh, interesting. Especially with the final summit ridge coated in ice and snow getting raked by strong winds. Hey, it was an adventure.

|Solo climb, August 2003. Summited Deception, Lake and Tesuque Peaks via the trail that splits off to the right of the Windsor trail @ the Pecos Wilderness gateway, just above the Santa Fe ski basin (this trail needs a name). A steep and challenging climb, I hit Deception, then Lake, and, seeing as how i planned on using a ski run to descend, also made my way to Tesuque Peak, where the microwave towers are located above the ski basin.

Photographs don't do justice to the rugged, staggering beauty of the Priorat region of Catalonia, in northeastern Spain. The landscape is so steep and rocky that it's a wonder that wine can be made there at all, much less world-class wine.
Winemaking in Priorat goes back to the 12th century, when Carthusian monks established vineyards there. But many of the vineyards were abandoned during the time of Francisco Franco and the Spanish Civil War; vintner Alvaro Palacios says there were more than 40,000 acres of vineyards in 1900, but fewer than 2,000 by 1989. That's about the time a group of five Spanish vintners, led by Rene Barbier and including Palacios, rediscovered the area. The traditional grapes of Priorat were garnatxa (Catalan for grenache) and carinena (carignane), and the newly arrived vintners also planted varieties such as cabernet sauvignon and syrah.
"My father was one of the first guys and he made a lot of mistakes," says Barbier's son, also named Rene.
The vines for Barbier's winery, Clos Mogador, were trellised, and the spacing was too wide at first. Now, spacing is tighter, and the vines are head-pruned — a technique that allows the vines to grow like trees — without trellises. They still use cabernet sauvignon and syrah, but the younger Barbier says they've really rediscovered carinena.
Some vintners say they're getting away from cab and syrah. Palacios, for one, says he's grafting over a lot of those vines to the traditional varieties. He's particularly enamored of garnatxa. "I believe that grenache is the queen grape of Priorat. It has music," he says. "It has a lot of beauty."
Carinena may not be as beautiful, but "the old vines of carinena are spectacular," he says.
Sara Perez, winemaker at Mas Martinet, says a lot of carinena was planted in the mid-20th century in all the wrong places. But in the right place, carinena can be very expressive of its environment, says Perez, whose father, Jose Luis, was one of the original gang of five.
"When you have a very big terroir," she says, "you have a big carignane."
The key viticultural feature of Priorat is the soil, a black slate called llicorella in Catalan. Vintners think this is what imparts a wonderful minerality to the wines. The steep slopes make mechanization impossible; Palacios, for example, uses mules for cultivation. Yields also are absurdly low, with the result that the wines are powerful, concentrated — and, in many cases, quite expensive.
The vintners who rediscovered Priorat now produce some of its finest wines. The 2009 Clos Mogador ($100), for example, is dense and powerful, with loads of berry fruit, notes of white pepper, spice, anise, dark chocolate, firm tannins and a very long finish. It's delicious now but built to age.
Palacios has become one of Priorat's best-known vintners. He makes the breathtakingly expensive L'Ermita ($900), but you can also taste his approach in the well-priced 2010 Camins del Priorat ($20), made from mostly younger vines. It's bright and plump, with berry fruit, some oak and a touch of mineral. The 2010 Les Terrasses ($40), made from vines that are at least 60 years old, is fresh, bright and spicy. The harder-to-find 2010 Gratallops ($50) and 2010 Finca Dofi ($65) are more powerful and concentrated, but they still retain some elegance.
At Mas Martinet, Sara Perez has crafted the 2009 Clos Martinet ($70 for the 2008), which is dark and dense, with a slight roasted note, ripe berry fruit, anise and nice minerality. (The 2009 wines will arrive later this fall.)
Melis is a more recent project, a partnership that involves Victor Gallegos, general manager at Sea Smoke Cellars in Lompoc. The 2006 Melis ($63) is ripe, structured and slightly floral, with roasted berry fruit, some mineral and fine tannins. A second wine, called Elix, is a little less expensive.
Ferrer Bobet also is fairly new, founded by owners who liked the wines of France's Cote Rotie appellation in the Rhone River Valley. The 2009 Ferrer Bobet ($50), which will be available later this year, is tight and dense, with concentrated berry and spice, great acidity and firm tannins.
Not all the wines of Priorat are so pricey. One great buy is the 2010 Bodegas La Cartuja ($19), an elegant wine with spicy black fruit and mineral.
