Management changes continue at Nickelodeon as another high-level executive announced that she was leaving the children's channel — her home for nearly 20 years.
Paula Kaplan, who serves as executive vice president of current TV series, told her team on Thursday that she would be leaving the network, according to people familiar with the matter.
Kaplan previously was a West Coast general manager and head of talent and casting for many of Nickelodeon's businesses.
She did not return a call left at her office Thursday afternoon.

Latest revision as of 13:06, 17 July 2013
Cisco has determined that patches related to security certificate needs to be installed by MeetingPlace customers running the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS; in order to ensure secure operation using 2048-bit-certificates between such nodes and the WebEx Node Management System. Failure to install the patch within the timeline outlined below will result in service outage and disruption once the WebEx Node Management System in the Cloud has been upgraded.
Please reference the readme file for each patch for specific install directions and details.
Determining the Version for WebEx Node for MCS
- Determine WebEx Node for MCS version:
- SSH into the WebEx Node for MCS
- The SSH session will prompt you for a username. The username to the WebEx node for MCS will always be "wbxadmin"
- The password for the wbxadmin account would have been configured at the installation of the system.
- After log in as wbxadmin user on WebEx node, if initial installation was at least 60 days ago, wbxadmin and root user password will expire. Wbxadmin will be prompted to change the password when he logs in after this period, but new, more complex password criteria is enforced.
The password must adhere to the following guidelines - Must be at least 14 characters in length - Must contain at least 2 upper case character (A-Z) - Must contain at least 2 lower case character (a-z) - Must contain at least 2 numeric digit (0-9) - Must contain at least 2 special character (! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~) - Cannot be the same or similar to the old one - An example password that meets the above criteria is ""CiscO123!@#123!@#""
- Enter the command ""show webex version""
- The output of this command should be one of the following:
List Cisco Unified Communications Product ============================================== Cisco Webex Node 188.8.131.52 ...
List Cisco Unified Communications Product ============================================== Cisco Webex Node 184.108.40.206 ... or List Cisco Unified Communications Product ============================================== Cisco Webex Node 184.108.40.206 ...
Downloading the Patch for your version of WebEx Node for MCS
- After determining the MeetingPlace version above, use this version number to identify the specific patch to download.
- All Cisco downloads require a cisco.com (CCO) login ID.
- 220.127.116.11 patch downloads are available here:
- Note: All Application servers for 8.0 deployments must have the Application Server at 184.108.40.206, or 8.0 MR1. This patch can be found here Latest MP8.0 MR1 Upgrade
- 184.108.40.206 through 22.214.171.124 patch downloads are available here:
Installation Instructions
All installation instructions are included in the readme files (such as "README_8.0_patch.txt" or "README_8.5_patch.txt") downloaded along with the patch files. They are also linked directly here:
- Open this readme file in a program such as WordPad
- Make sure to follow each step within the readme file
- For deployments with multiple WebEx Nodes for MCS, each node must be patched
This section provides information about commonly encountered issues and how to resolve them.
Q: I am receiving a message indicating that my account does not have permissions to download the software. How can the software be downloaded?
- A: If you experience entitlement issues downloading software with your CCO account, please attach a contract with software download using the Cisco Service Contract Center at http://www.cisco.com/web/services/ordering/cscc/index.html . If you need assistance with this tool, please open a case with the Cisco Service Support Center at http://www.cisco.com/web/siteassets/contacts/international.html and select your country for a local assistance phone number. Based on your contract number, they will be able to assist you. If you have questions about your contract, please reach out to your Cisco Sales contact or Cisco Account team for assistance. Alternately, use another cisco.com ID that has these permissions.
Q: My WebEx Node is a virtual installation on a UCS. Do I still have to apply the Certificate Upgrade?
- A: Yes. The UCS installation is a virtualized platform for the installation of the WebEx Node for MCS software, and as such the certificate update still applies to it.
Q: Why I am not able to ssh and login as wbxadmin using the correct password?
- A: If you are not able to ssh and login as wbxadmin with the correct password, the wbxadmin account is locked. This is due to the security policy that locks up wbxadmin after three consecutive unsuccessful login attempts. *The common causes of the lock up include:
- 3 consecutive login attempts with the wrong password, especially with the STIG enforced password.
- The sticky keyboard issue with VM clients.
- If the wbxadmin account is locked, follow these steps to verify and re-enable the account (procedure applies for all versions):

My recent column about consumers feeling entitled to coupon discounts has generated many reactions from readers. Here's a sampling.
Dear Jill,
I read with dismay your recent columns about others who think they have some legal right to discounts and coupons. It reflects the sad state of our once-prosperous country that people have gotten so accustomed to 'free' stuff from the government that they now think they can demand the same from private companies.
We need to educate people about what capitalism means and how a free market economy is supposed to work. Thanks for all your great work. I enjoy reading your column each week and using your ideas to save a few bucks.
Howard L.
I agree. Coupons are an incentive that retailers and manufacturers use to convince us to purchase items. They make a price more attractive or coerce us into buying something new � or, buying multiples of something we've bought before. But they're a privilege, not a right.
If a product is selling extremely well, a coupon may not even be needed. I'm reminded of the story of Carmex lip balm. Invented in 1937, it was never advertised in any way, shape or form until 2006. The product sold well with no coupons or ads at all, so why issue them? But in 2006, Carmex expanded its product line, offering flavored lip balms and new products � and now we do see coupons on occasion Carmex. It's worth keeping this story in mind if you ever wonder why you often don't see coupons for some products. Some products don't need them to sell well.
Dear Jill,
Your article on coupon entitlement brought to mind two things. First, a friend told me that she regularly goes to a large chain grocery and does great with coupons. She went on to explain that just the other day there was a high-dollar coupon for guacamole and she presented it to the cashier. When the cashier could not find the item, she asked the friend if she had bought it.
The friend told the cashier no, but she had bought all the ingredients to make it, and she convinced the cashier to override the register and took the coupon. She says that she does this all the time. No wonder so many shoppers are questioned regularly!
Second, I was browsing a store ad online after I read your column. I saw a statement in there I previously had paid no attention to. The ad talked about what shoppers needed to do to 'earn coupons' to shop there. This somehow struck me as offensive. I feel a store and company should earn my business.
Lea C.
To clarify what we already know, buying an avocado and some seasonings is not the same as buying a brand-name package of guacamole dip. It is not the manufacturers' intention to reimburse random purchases of avocados and spices � it intends to reimburse when its product is purchased. It's a shame that the cashier is kowtowing to the ruse too.
Your comment on "earning coupons" is interesting, too. It may not have been the best choice of wording on the store's part, as I too believe stores should earn their customers' business � through product selection, customer service, clean and pleasant stores and promotions. A store I shop offers a promotion where you can earn fuel discounts � five cents per gallon for each store purchase of $50. I don't view this as anything offensive � in fact, I like the promotion very much as it helps me save on gasoline too. But the promotion is structured as a reward, not as something I must do to shop there.
Smart Living Tip: Keep in mind that coupons aren't entitlements. Misusing coupons just to get a better deal hurts us all. It hurts stores that may not receive reimbursement for coupons they accepted on items that weren't purchased. Manufacturers react to higher mis-redemptions by adding additional restrictions to coupons. Remember to treat coupons as a privilege and a bonus � not something we have a right to receive.

Female in Plaid
Added Jul 21, 2013
Mykolayv, Ukraine
This plaid seersucker turned out to be very nice for this pattern. This type of darts let me join the fabric right in all control points: sides, armholes – caps of sleeves and front bands. This plaid isn't simmetrical and it always complicates the work with such fabrics ( even if the pattern is as simple as this one) so I chose the dark-blue crossings for checking.
One more trouble (the craziest part, to tell the true!:)) was to define the front and reverse side of the fabric – none of known for me methods worked. I only saw the difference after started sewing, fortunately, I had to unpick only darts to re-make them.
The skirt on the pictures is one of my favourite – from 3/2009, #105. Made of dark-blue linen. I omitted pockets because firstly, they seem to be enormous and, secondly, I try to avoid the details that widen hips.
Material Notes

This mutation, which seems to decrease the activity of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), results in short stature but longer life. Exactly why this might lengthen someone's life isn't known, but the researchers say the finding might prove useful in developing anti-aging drugs.
"We found that people of a hundred years old have mutations in a gene that is related to the growth hormone pathway," said lead researcher Dr. Nir Barzilai, director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. "We think this is important, because that's what now happens in nature. The pony lives longer than the horse, the small dog lives longer than a large dog. Apparently, it's true for humans also."
Interestingly, this particular mutation has been found mostly among women, he added.
It might be possible, given these findings, to develop drugs that can prevent aging and age-related disease, Barzilai noted. "There are drugs being developed to decrease growth hormone in patients with tumors, because sometimes cancer is dependent on growth hormones," he said.
"Maybe we can adopt the strategy to slow aging."
The report was published in this week's online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In the study, Barzilai's team looked for this mutation among a population of Ashkenazi Jews who were 100, and their offspring. They also matched these offspring with people who had no history of longevity in their family. The researchers found this particular mutation was more common among those who were centenarians and their offspring. The same research team reported in December 2006 that a particular gene variant that is linked to longevity is also associated with improved mental function in the elderly.
How long growth hormones need to be restricted to produce the slowing of aging isn't known. "Do you have it during early development in the womb, in puberty, or can you have it at any stage that you wish?" Barzilai asked.
Barzilai noted that growth hormone is a very popular anti-aging therapy. Growth hormone changes the tone of the skin and fat distribution, and increases muscle mass.
"However, this study and other studies suggest that, for the purpose of aging and longevity, growth hormone might do exactly the opposite," he said. "In the short run, growth hormones are going to have positive effects, but certainly in elderly people I would suggest, and this study supports the notion, that we will kill them sooner rather than later."
One expert thinks the findings are intriguing but inconclusive.
"This is an interesting study, which has to be replicated by other researchers using a different dataset, because studies on exceptional longevity often cannot be replicated," said Leonid Gavrilov, a research associate at the Center on Aging at the University of Chicago.
The study found a sex-specific increase in IGF-1; it showed up only among the daughters of centenarians, while sons were not affected, Gavrilov noted. "The study does not suggest any explanation, or even a hypothesis, for this sex-specific effect. General conclusions suggested in this paper may be questionable if they are not applicable to men," he said.
"It may be interesting to put this study in a context of other findings, such as being born to a young mother helps to live to 100 years," Gavrilov said.

Not to knock anime music, but many OP and ED's of anime aren't really representative of Japan's music scene. Most of them are sung by pop idol girls, who are overly synthesized and not very talented to begin with. If any of you watch Japanese drama's, the OP and ED's from those are a little better (Not by much though.) and a lot more representative of Japanese music. (I know BuriGuri got their break making a jdorama song, and more recently Sambomaster made a popular song for the drama Densha Otoko.)
Some recommendations if you want to get into Japanese music are The Brilliant Green, Do As Infinity, Gackt, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Tokyo Jihen, B'z and Mr. Children. They're all pretty tame listening. However, Brilliant Green (BuriGuri), and DAI broke up so they're no longer making music. I'm particularly biased towards L'Arc~en~Ciel, since Tetsu's bass is orgasmic and Hyde makes millions of Japanese girls melt (and some guys as well I'd imagine). Gackt is nice, but don't expect a whole lot of depth from his lyrics. Tokyo Jihen is spearheaded by Shiina Ringo (Vocals, 2nd Guitar), and made of exceptionally talented people. The bassist and keyboardist left Tokyo Jihen recently though. I'd imagine Ringo would have no trouble finding replacements though. (I think the band members in Tokyo Jihen were the members that played the music for Ringo's last solo album, Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana. You should at all costs check out that album too. Even at the cost of a limb.)
If you're into more easy listening, then you may want to try Garnet Crow, Love Psychedelico, or Every Little Thing. If you want something more 'urban' try out m-flo (Usually labeled as m-flo loves insert any popular Japanese pop artist here , or Dragon Ash's later albums.
If you want something harder, you could try The Back Horn or Thee Michelle Gun Elephant. GO! GO! 7188 and Bump of Chicken not only have cool names, but great music as well.
Some more punkish stuff would be Judy and Mary and Blankey Jet City. Both are broken up though. I really don't know any current punkish sounding Japanese groups except for Ellegarden, who are just ho-hum IMO.
Schwarz Stein is kind of trance and electronic sounding, and I really like their last album, 'Artificial Hallucination'. I don't know about their other stuff though.
Other notables are X Japan, Luna Sea, and Dir en Grey. All 3 are ass-spankingly orgasmic, but it's kind of hard to pidgeonhole them as they make many different types of songs. (Fast rock songs, medium tempo, ballads, etc.) X and Luna Sea are older (X is late 80's to 90's, Luna Sea is 90's) bands that have broken up though.
I'm told (a lot) that GLAY is quite good, but IMO they sound lame mostly due to their bassist and vocalist. They also tend to keep around extra band mates to appease their female audience.
I liked Ayumi Hamasaki's one album. You know, the one that she made 2398328 other remix songs from. My theory is that the more she has her eyes surgically enlarged, the more actual talent she loses. Just a theory.
Bolded = My personal favorites. (They're all my favorites, but these in particular. :x)
Edit: Oops, I forgot Misia. Check her out if you want to hear a ridiculously powerful female voice. She sings a lot of ballads to my knowledge. Great example would be her single 'Everything'.

The first anime I saw was My HiME and personally I think it has the best soundtrack. I LOVE Kimi Ga Sora Datta, Shining Day and It's Only The Fairytale. I would also recommend Utada Hikaru - I could listen to Simple And Clean and never get tired off it.

In the non-anime bracket... I'd recommend Ua .... bluesy stuff with a mess of avant-garde jazz thrown in. I like the experimental stuff and her beatnick coffeehouse type stuff.
In easier listening... a lot of the background music used in Honey & Clover appealed to me (Spitz, etc) -- it was popular music rather than anime generated soundtrack.
Its really hard to find solid rock work..... too many groups seem to think anytime a girl sings you cut to piano from the electric guitar. KOTOKO and Yuria do some decent stuff.... Lia has a great voice but completely wastes it on "nightclub disco" brainrot music aka Britney.

The AIR OST has about 50% decent stuff if you like piano and vocals.
KOTOKO has some decent trance (mixed in with fluffier pop) and some decent blues pop. Her -haze- album and the mini album with DuWadidid ....
UA has some really good stuff (avant garde, blues, traditional, experimental)
Its hard to find solid *rock* stuff .... along the lines of "Maze of the Dark" off of the Evangeline (Negima) character CD.
Some of the background music of Honey & Clover led me to Spitz and Shigeo (male folk rock singers)...
I tripped over Hinoi Team (cute and requires little thinking - Europop (happy simple stuff))
I tend to be really disappointed in the visual kei bands..... really visually stunning (duh) but pretty lame soft pop noises.
Really, you just have to kind of hunt and peck. What I like may suck to other people and vice versa. I'm definitely going to check out any non-anime stuff anyone mentions here if it intrigues me.
edit: I see I answered this twice... oh well, this is v 2.0. Looks like I'll be hunting up L'Arc~en~Ciel and Gackt and perhaps Misia
edit2: I see some anonymous redmarked my reputation without comment for this post --- its kind of hard to improve if ya don't comment

I've been a bit hesitant about replying to this thread as it seems my taste in music is somewhat different from that of the other posters... anyway, I'll start with the heavier stuff and work my way towards more mainstream bands.
One of the few truly original and innovative Japanese metal bands, and thus one of my very favourites, is Sigh. I particularly like Hail Horror Hail and Imaginary Soundscape albums, though the older stuff is pretty good too.
Church of Misery is an excellent old school doom metal band. Not very original, of course, but their songwriting is good enough that I'm willing to overlook that. Of the other "traditional" metal bands, Loudness and Sabbat both deserve a mention, if only for their sheer longevity. The bands play hard rock/heavy metal and trash metal, respectively. Not exactly groundbreaking material, but worth a listen or two if you're into that.
I'm not much into emocore as a genre, but Envy is a decent band and just the right cure for too much sugary pop tunes.
Tyrant is basically a Dimmu Borgir clone ("black metal" with lots of synths for those who don't know) and there are better bands in this genre in Europe, but I still listen to their Grimoires every now and then.
Of visual kei bands, I prefer the heavier bands (who'd have guessed...). D'espairsRay's Coll:set and Vidoll's Bijinkei often find their way into my cd player. Alice Nine and Kaggra, are both very good too (though I'd hard pressed to call Kaggra' "heavy").
Blood is an ok hard rock band. Not the visual kei band from Osaka, the one with Shinichiro Suzuki. I only have the album Noises, if anyone knows where to buy the others (short of ordering directly from the band), please let me know.
Moving to the softer stuff, Baroque is a good pop-rock band whose (sadly only) full length album, Sug Life hardly left my cd player last summer. And I guess I'll mention High and Mighty Color here as well...
And finally, since I believe it hasn't yet been mentioned in this thread, the best Japanese band ever and just the right thing for when you've listened to too much Envy; Under17.

The J-music I listen to is varied, but it's mostly rock stuff. However, i do listen to some j-pop stuff as well. For J-rock I higly recommend the following:
Luna Sea: I remember the first time I heard a Luna Sea song and I was amazed at how good the music was. Even though I wasn't too keen on Ryuichi's vocals at first I soon came to love them. I recommend these songs: Precious, Rosier, Loveless, Wish, Gravity, Be in agony, Jesus, love song, In Silence, Storm, Sweetest Coma Again.
Dir en grey: I realize that their insanely popular these days, but I still love em', and they'll always be special to me because they were one of my first jrock bands. I love alot of their older stuff, but I still dig alot of the new stuff too. I recommend these songs: Garden, Kasumi, New Age Culture, Amber, Gyakujo Tannou Keloid Milk, Itoshi ha fuhai ni tsuki, Kodou, dead tree, hydra, umbrella, Jessica, 304 goshitsu hakushi no sakura, Myaku, Zakuro, 24Ko Cylinder, [KR] Cube, Ash, Yokan, Yurameki, IIID Empire, Sajou no uta, and many many more...you have to listen to almost their whole discography to appreciate how amazing and diverse this band is.
X-Japan: Amazing musicians, I don't think theres enough that can be said about these guys. I recommend the following songs: Dahilia, Endless Rain, Forever love, Celebration, Kurenai, Blue Blood, Art of life.
Gazette: I just got into these guys recently and I love their sound! They have sort of a punk influenced sound that I never get tired of. I recommend these songs: Cassis, Sumire, no. 666, Mad Marble Hell Vision, Ruder, Anything from the Disorder album, Maggots, Nausea & Shudder, Relia, Best Friends.
Art-School: I bought their "Requim for Innocence" album and I love their style! I recommend: Hane, Chole, Charolette, Boy meets girl, Diva, Scarlet, Butterfly.

Hmmm.... this thread lacks more mentioning as of how awesome m-flo is.
If you like songs that sound like somebody is violently taking away the virginity of a synthesizer, I'd highly recommend Slake for the musically impaired. Hopefully if you buy enough of his albums, he'll have so much money that he'll stay the hell out of the Bemani series and live off his sales until he's a 73 year-old man.

The Festivities Continue: Mardi Gras Trees
Of all the fascinating things I've learned about from Apartment Therapy commenters, my favorite just might be the Mardi Gras Christmas Tree. Here's how it works: when Carnival season arrives on January 6th, Christmas-y ornaments are removed, lights are kept on, purple, green, and gold elements are added, and the celebrations continue through the Mardi Gras season. Fabulous!
In the comments for Keeping the Tree, Losing the Christmas, a couple of commenters shared their charming Mardi Gras tree stories — but I'd love to hear more! There is very little information online regarding these trees, but I did find a few tidbits. The writer of My East Texas, a former resident of New Orleans, writes, "As the Mardi Gras season starts in Louisiana there are numerous parades leading up to Fat Tuesday. Parade attendees collect their beads during this time and take them home to further decorate their Mardi Gras Tree." The Advocate of Baton Rouge, LA discussed the phenomenon of Super Bowl Trees, "which after football season can become the traditional Mardi Gras tree, then the traditional Easter tree, etc. My favorite quote was from Judy Nelson of Bayou Blue, LA who told the Tri-Parish Times, "They ask me, 'Why do you want to keep that old dead Christmas tree?' It's my old, dead Christmas tree, and I'll do what I want with it and make the tree last a little longer." Here are a few photos, but please share your own!
- A Brighter Side Of The Grave features a tree decorated with crowns, fleur de lis, voodoo dolls, and masks, along with gold snowflakes, and purple, green, and gold beads.
- I love the explosion atop this Mardi Gras tree at the Carriage House Bed & Breakfast in Jefferson, Texas. A few lengths of purple, green, and gold ribbon go a long way towards transforming the tree.
- In Lake Village, Arkansas, the Paul Michael Company shop has bedecked a tree with so much Mardi Gras swag that you'd never believe it was recently decorated for Christmas. You could totally recreate the fleur de lis ornaments at home using pipe cleaners.

San Francisco Fed unemployment study (Part 5 of 5)
Implications of the Fed's model for mortgage REITs
Mortgage REITs are driven by interest rates. The unemployment rate and the inflation rate are the two drivers of Fed policy, given their dual mandate to minimize unemployment in the context of price stability. The mortgage REITs like Annaly (NLY), American Capital Agency (AGNC), and MFA Financial (MFA) have been bloodied since spring, when the Fed hinted that the days of quantitative easing are numbered. The Fed advised that it expected the unemployment rate to fall to around 7% by the end of the year and to 6.5% by mid-2014. If those expectations played out as expected, they would begin to reduce asset purchases by late 2013 and fully end the program by mid-2014.
The Fed decided to hold off on changing policy at the September meeting, and the government shutdown pretty much guarantees it won't do anything at the October FOMC meeting either. You can see from the chart that the mortgage ETF (MORT) has underperformed the S&P 500 and Treasury bond futures since rates started increasing in May. For the REITs, decreases in unemployment mean higher interest rates at the margin. For non-agency REITs, the decrease in unemployment could mean better credit performance, which offsets the interest rate effect.
Implications for homebuilders
Unlike the mortgage REITs, declining unemployment is strictly good news for the builders like Lennar (LEN) and Standard Pacific (SPF). Homebuilding is a highly cyclical business, and the builders have been in a highly defensive posture since 2007. The builders began to experience a recovery as housing bottomed in early 2012. The California market has recovered the quickest, and builders like Standard Pacific and KB Home are seeing big jumps in backlog and orders. You can see the increase in sentiment in the chart above.
However, even with the rebound in the real estate market, we are still seeing historically depressed housing starts. Prior to the housing bust, starts averaged around 1.5 million units per year. They are now averaging around 900 thousand. Given population growth, this is a highly depressed number. As the job market improves, the first-time homebuyer will return to the market, which will drive earnings for builders at the lower price points like PulteGroup (PHM).

PINEHURST, N.C. (March 9, 2008) - The ETSU women's golf team placed three players in the Top 10 on the individual leaderboard during Sunday's first round of the 2008 Women's Golf Pinehurst Challenge, giving the Buccaneers the team lead heading into Monday's second round at the Pinehurst No. 8 Golf Course.
The Bucs, coming off a team championship last week in South Alabama's Lady Jaguar Invitational, were led by senior Maria Ringdahl (Farjestaden, Sweden) and junior Lucy Gould (Bargoed, Wales), both of whom finished tied for third at 3-over-par 75. Meanwhile, sophomore Laura Jansone (
"It's nice to see this again from our team, especially considering the tough conditions and the fact that high winds kept us from playing a practice round yesterday," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Reynolds, whose team finished ahead of No. 28 East Carolina and No. 37 Georgia State. "I think our team likes the feeling of being at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the day. The women on our team are pumped up about winning our last tournament, and right now we want to continue that feeling."
Ringdahl, Gould and Jansone are within striking distance of the individual leaders Steffi Kirchmayer of
The Pinehurst Challenge will continue Tuesday with second round play, and third round action is set for Wednesday. Visit ETSUBucs.com following each day's action for a complete wrap up.

I belong to Mid-Carolina Rifle Club in Columbia, SC, and today, we held an open house to celebrate our new $60K range improvements. FN, Glock, and several RKBA groups were invited to attend, as well as the general public. Glock was letting people try all their models (except the machinepistol), and IPSC, IDPA, & the SASS were showing folks what they're all about.
FN demo'd everything in its mil/LEO line except the M16. This was the first public demo of a pistol they will be releasing next month, the M49. It's a .40, poly frame, SS top end, 14 rd, barrel looks to be about 4". Looks a lot like the Smiths, with a touch of Glock & SIG thrown in.
Next, the Five SeveN pistol in 4.7mm. The cartridge is designed to leave the pistol in excess of 2100fps, and capable of penetrating TL IV body armour out to 200m. Bullet weight of 32 gr. Ammo & guns available only to military & LEOs. No noticable recoil with or without suppressor. Next, they demo'd the P90 subgun in the same caliber. With the longer barrel (10"?), the bullet achieves velocities of over 2300fps. They had 2 on hand, and the one shooting subsonic ammo (63 gr @ 1100fps) with the suppressor kept jamming. The suppressor is designed to be taken on & off with just a 90 degree turn while pulling it back against the gun. It's very effective, the bolt made more noise than the shots. When fired in unsuppressed mode, it cooked. Last demo of it was a sustained full mag (50 rds) of tracer, every rd of which stayed in the black of a B47 target at 50 yds. However, one bullet spun off to the top of the berm & started a grassfire, which was quickly extinguished by RO's with shovels (range is in an old sandpit.)
Next up, 2 versions of the M249 SAW, the Para & the SPW (Special Purpose Weapon.) The Para has a 15" barrel & collapsible stock. The SPW (for which this was also the first public demo) has the same features, but has been further lightened so that unloaded weight is under 6#, and has been redesigned so that it does not accept M16 mags, only the 100 rd belt-in-a-box. It was built by FN at the request of gov't agencies which they refused to ID. (SEALs, CIA, who knows? Who cares?) The Para version had some problems, but the SPW ran through 2 boxes of ammo without a glitch in either 3-5 rd bursts, or sustained bursts. I like that one.
Next, the M240B, a .308 medium MG to replace the M60 (about damn time, too.) I'm pleased to report that we may have a winner here, folks. The 2 examples each ran through 2 250 rd belts w/o a hiccup, short & long bursts. I'm impressed, especially compared to the M60, which I've heard can hardly fire 1 consecutive round without jamming.{G}
Last, FN demo'd a quick change barrel adaptaion they've come up with for the Browning M2 .50. A 100 rd belt was fired, then the barrel changed in about 3 seconds, a second belt loaded, and then firing resumed. No more headspacing, etc.
FN did have one surprise they didn't tell us about-a couple of the targets had small explosive charges on the back. That was neat.
After FN cleared out, a private Class III manufacturer whose name I didn't get demo'd a plethora of weapons. M16's; M16 .22 LR conversion; CAR15 auto converted to .40S&W with an integral 10" suppressed barrel; Tec 9 machinepistol with a handgrip added at about 10 degrees above the horizontal to the left side of the barrel shroud; Thompson SMG; AK SMG w/75 rd drum; Port Said SMG; a couple of Browning M1919's; A Daewoo K3, a copy of the M249 but with a higher cyclic rate, about 900rpm; suppressed 10/22's; and the finale, a GE .308 Minigun mounted on an authentic 1886 Gattling gun carriage (modified, of course.) When the Mini fired, 600 rds went downrange in about 1.5 seconds. That's the closest I've ever come to having an orgasm without having sex.{VBG}
One interesting thing I noticed-the gun which seemed the loudest and had the most concussion was the AK subgun. I was about 15 feet behind and slightly to the left of the shooter, and my pants legs were flapping with the blast. I was much closer to the Mini when it fired, and didn't notice it. Even the M2 didn't do it. Strange.
The only fly in the ointment was a last minute decision by SLED to not let anyone other than manufacturers, LEOs, or military personel shoot the auto weapons. SC is not a Class III state, and SLED (State Law Enforcement Division) decided to interpret "to possess" to mean "touch." I guess our next big legislative effort is going to be to try to bring SC into the Class III fold. (Just as an aside, one can own a suppressor under state law, just not auto's or sawed-off's.)
Well, that's about it. If you haven't got it figured out by now, I've never seen full-auto in person, and I'm now hooked. Damn, now I've GOT to get to Knob Creek.
Shoot straight regards, Richard

If that made you readjust your trousers then Knob Creek will put you into sex-induced comatose state (ala the movie [iBrainstorm[/i].
Thanks for the report on the new weapons and adaptations for the existing systems. I'm sure you were hating every minute being "forced" to cover this as the unofficial TFL reporter on the scene.
The Creek shoot/shows are the second weekend in April and the second weekend in October.

Having never been there and only read about it, forgive me for asking a dumb question, but I can never remember; is Knob Creek in KY or TN? Or somewhere else? (CRS strikes again!)

No such thing as a stupid question. Though I may give a stupid answer, but that's an entirely different subject .

Don't know if it's the same weapon but SAR had a writeup on a MiniGun mounted on a Gattling Gun chassis last year. I'll have to dig it up. This weapon also shows up at Knob Creek.
The loudest and most concussive weapon I've seen at the Creek was a Barrett semiauto 50 BMG. They have a huge muzzlebrake ala McMillan.
That Para SAW sure sounds interesting. Would make one heck of a CCW, no?
Were you able to get an upclose look at the Five SeveN? I've heard some good things about it. Some of the members here (sorry, senior members) have fired the FN P90. They all liked it if I recall correctly. If you're interested in their comments, use the search function. We talked about it last fall.
Also can't wait to see the new 40, the M49, you talked about.

Yeah, the Para sounds good as a CCW, but only if you favor trench coats.<VBG> (How the hell do you guys do those smiley faces?)
I did get a close look at the Five SeveN, but no one was allowed to handle. It looks pretty impressive, and any handgun which can defeat TLIV BA out to 200m has got to have something going for it. I'll stick with my 1911, though.
Charlie Petty came down from Charlotte a few months ago to attend a press conference at FN, & I think he did an article about the P90 & the pistol for GUNS or AMERICAN HANGUNNER, I don't remember which. I'll see if I can locate it.
Schmit, how many times do I have to say it:
I'M SORRY, IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!! (Ya skinny-arsed friggin' former jarhead, ya.)

I'm a cowboy shooter, so I have a duster
SAR had an in-depth review of the P90 and it's suppressor a while back also.
Creating the smiley faces is done just like normal but this UBB code changes it to the face. Click on the UBB Code link on the page and it will explain all the neat faces that can be made. ;0 etc.
I've got to admit I really like my 1911s also. You should come on down to HS chat. We really talk up the 1911 and God's Armorer. The address is up in a handgun thread titled gun chats, I believe (to lazy to go back and look).
Just looked in UBB Code area, that's other neat stuff. The faces are in the faq area.

45King - you heard pretty close to the truth about the M-60... It loves to jam. The only reason I can think of is that most M-60s are just plain worn out. While in the service, most of the barrles we had were practicly shot out.
I saw on the discovery channel a special about Navy Seals and Other SF groups... The showed a group of Seals laying down some angry sustained covering fire. Several of these Water Thugs were packing short barrel M-60s - not E3 variants - shorter than those... And they were ROCKING... In fact they were ROCKING so hard I was holding a lighter up in reverance! It was most impresive... and I had never seen anything like a 60 (aka HOG) perform like that! I want one! These 60s are of course specialy built and tuned... Which just reinforces a belief of mine... Give your Gun Smith a HUG. You want him to be on your side!

I live in Spartanburg, SC during the fall-spring (Wofford), but visit Columbia quite often. Without having to spend an evening typing directions, where in Columbia is the Mid-Carolina Rifle Club and how does one join?
Also, where can I find information about the criteria and procedures necessary for legal ownership of suppressors in SC? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your time,

John: There is a map at http://www.ifx.net/~popgun/sc_mcrc.htm . The map isn't oriented North-South, but you'll get the general idea. Just come down I-26 from Spartanburg towards Charleston and follow the directions.
The contact number is: (803) 796-1009
Membership is $100 per year, and you must be a member of the NRA or GOA.

45King: If your plans to travel to the Creek in October come thru, come and visit me while there. I work on the sub gun range as a chief range officer, and also operate the subgun bowling pin match. I am currently president of American Class 3 Association, and have been around full auto for some time now. BTW, you can rent the GE mini gun there and run some rounds through it. If you get to the Creek on Friday I have a private BBQ on the sub range that is by invite only, this is your invite, bring a friend. The BBQ starts about 1700 and I furnish all the food.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sweetD from Great Fit This dress is true to size and fits great. I usually am hesitant to order dresses online but this dress runs true to size...I'm 5'9" , wear a 36DD and usually wear between a size 10/12 and I ordered this dress in a large.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nattie87 from Absolutely gorgeous. I saw this dress at one of the bebe stores and I didn't like it at first but I had to try it on because all of the previous reviews said the dress was great. I am so glad I listened to all of them and tried it on. This dress is gorgeous, fits like a glove and if you have a belly, the peplum hides it perfectly. My advice to everyone would be to definitely try it on because it looks very different when it is put on rather than when its hanging on the racks. I bought this dress to wear to my court wedding. LOVE IT.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BellaLuna from It's an unusual and very pretty dress I didn't pay attention at this dress right away. Much later it caught my eye, I read the reviews on it and thought it was either going to be a very beautiful dress or not a good one at all for me. I have a pretty petite figure (I am usually between 99-102lb) so not every peplum dress looks good on me, though I tried on so many of those. I finally ordered this one in xs (usually I order xxs, but looks like after bebe returned this dress the smallest size was xs) and I have to say it's my first peplum dress that I am keeping. I loved it! The fit is great! It looks so classy, yet so romantic at the same time. I have a ton of bebe dresses, but this one is a pretty unusual dress in my closet. I'm very glad I got it and would definitely recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ClassicBeauty from AMAZING fit! I have a figure that can be difficult to fit (small waist, wider hips and bigger bust) but this in a small hugged EVERY curve perfectly! It is tight and I was a little worried about that since the dress is white and might expose flaws, but between the material and the accents everything was complemented beautifully. Got SO many compliments - would definitely recommend this dress to anyone!

Rated 3 out of 5 by SugarLandSuga06 from Stretchy but tight I wanted to wear this to my bachelorette party but when it arrived, I realized it wasn't what I expected. It's a creamy white and entirely made of a thick stretchy material like a bandage dress. It s tight to the body but great in covering unsightly bumps and curves. The negative is you have to watch what underwear you're wearing because it's tight to your toosh. The top has a strip so it won't slip and cause any wardrobe malfunctions. It's great if you dont have any upper assets like me. It s a pretty dress but I'm going to return it because I don't want a white dress that is so skin tight that i have to worry about what underwear to wear. I'm 115 lbs 5'3" and bought a small and it fits perfectly.

An advisory panel to the Food & Drug Administration has recommended approval of a new sleep drug that targets the brain's wakefulness centers, but suggested the agency should consider a dose of the drug, called suvorexant, lower than that proposed by the medication's maker, Merck. In doing so, members of the FDA's advisory committee on peripheral and central nervous system drugs appeared to agree with concerns raised by FDA staff scientists that, at higher doses, the sleep medication may cause dangerous next-day drowsiness in some patients.
The panel voted 13-to-3 in favor of sending the FDA a positive recommendation on marketing approval for suvorexant with a maximum dose of 20 mg for non-elderly patients and 15 mg for elderly patients.
While the FDA's staff scientists had cautioned that there is "much less safety data" for suvorexant at the 10-mg dose the advisory panel suggested, they also had flagged safety concerns that focused heavily on daytime somnolence among those taking the medication at doses of 30 and 40 mg. In trials run by Merck, 11% of 1,291 subjects taking high doses of suvorexant suffered somnolence into the next day (and 0.6% suffered severe somnolence), vs. 7% 0f 493 subjects who took lower doses of the drug (among whom 0.2% suffered severe somnolence).
Merck has conducted only preliminary trials on the safety and effectiveness of suvorexant at the 10-mg dose widely discussed by the FDA advisory panel Wednesday. The company had recommended that elderly patients with trouble falling and staying asleep get the medication at a 15-mg starting dose, with non-elderly patients starting at 20 mg. Patients who tolerated those doses could step up to the 30-mg and 40-mg doses, the company suggested.
FDA scientists, summarizing safety trials of those taking the sleep medication, warned that the data "suggests serious risk from drug-impaired driving." They cited several cases of patients, some of them seniors who were taking the drug's higher dose, who reported they were fighting off the urge to sleep behind the wheel the day after taking the medication.
The FDA staff also raised worries about subjects' reports of "narcolepsy-like syndrome," including vivid dreams, sleep paralysis, and weakness in the knees upon laughing — a possible sign of cataplexy.
Suvorexant inhibits the effects of wakefulness-promoting orexin neurons of the brain's arousal system, allowing patients who have difficulty falling asleep to do so, and preventing nighttime wakefulness. If approved by the FDA — which often but not always follows its advisory panels' recommendations — suvorexant would join several other classes of sleep aids taken by many of the estimated 10 % to 30% of Americans who suffer insomnia.
On Wednesday, the FDA panel agreed, in a 16-0 vote, that suvorexant is effective in inducing sleep. The members were somewhat more divided, voting 12-4, on the drug's effectiveness in maintaining sleep.
Public Citizen, a watchdog group which frequently raises concerns about FDA decisions, had urged the panel not to recommend approval of suvorexant. "Its marginal benefit in extending overnight sleep by a few minutes is achieved at the expense of prolonged next-day drowsiness, with potentially fatal consequences, in addition to a litany of other serious side effects," Dr. Sammy Almashat of Public Citizen told the committee Wednesday.
Darryle Schoepp, senior vice president of Merck Research Labs for neuroscience and ophthalmology, said in a statement Wednesday evening that the firm was "excited about the potential of suvorexant as a new and different approach to treating insomnia," adding that Wednesday's vote brought the company "one step closer to providing physicians with another option to help patients struggling with insomnia."

NSA Deletes Fact Sheet On NSA Spying After Senate Points Out It's Actually NSA Lying
from the transparency-needed dept
Separately Tuesday, another NSA official said the removal of the fact sheets and letter from the senators were unrelated.Ah, yeah, I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with that whatsoever...
In more "unrelated" news, NSA boss, General Keith Alexander has also admitted that perhaps the fact sheet wasn't fully accurate:
"After reviewing your letter, I agree that the fact sheet that the National Security Agency posted on its website on 18 June 2013 could have more precisely described the requirements for collection under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act."Oh, I'm sure that the original wording was fairly "precise." It's just that it was precisely misleading, which is the sort of precision that the NSA seems to specialize in when it comes to any sort of public discussion.

Is there a stand-out 'Does it Look Like I'm Here?', 'Holkham Drones', 'Ravedeath, 1972' of this year, yet?
I'm after something super-lush, and had a few misadventures, so over to you lot...
- badmanreturns this'd this
- jimitheexploder this'd this
this for sure
though this song is pretty lush:

I've been totally caning this one, keeps getting better and better
Likewise the new Julia Holter.
ah yes
been loving those of these, need to pick up finished copies asap
The S/T is very good
Prefer Chinaberry though, which is gorgeous.
the mirrorring record didn't really click with me on first couple of listens but will give it another spin. ta
see, I was thinking *exactly* the same thing
but during a revelatory listen late on Sunday, cycling home, I realised it was all gold.
I love the subtle contrast between the two collaborators.
Pulse Emitter - Aeons
Portraits - LP
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma – Visiting This World
Motion Sickness of Time Travel's new one
http://boomkat.com/downloads/518272-motion-sickness-of-time-travel-motion-sickness-of-time-travelDan_S and jimitheexploder this'd this
Oh and these tapes
Lightning Strike Lightning - Creepy Power
Gospels - Rest Peacefully & Dream Vividly (this ones not new but has bowled me over constantly since I got it, amazing)
http://theradiantnow.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/trn-103-gospels/mitternacht this'd this
Oh and this looks/sounds amazingly potent. yet to buy though
Alan Lamb/Gerry Bradbury/David Burraston/Oren Arambachi/Robin Fox - WIRED Open Day 2009 LP
That Gospels album/EP
is absolutely incredible. What I wish all shoegaze sounded like.
Really enjoying Gospels too
Reminds me of Bowery Electric a bit.
Can't work out whether it's several songs just sequenced into a couple of tracks though.
Yeah, it is.
At least the first song is.
0:00 - 3:56 Rainy Days
- 8:33 Lake Side
- 11:24 Summer Grave
- 13:50 Blank Stare
Listening now
Off to a good start...
Listening to
The Ukkonen on Spotify now, what a total peach. Thanks for the tip.
I'm loving the KTL record
I don't know, not really that lush, but nowhere near as chilly as their previous stuff.
I totally co-sign Motion Sickness Of Time Travel.ClamingToBeOnTele and thedamnedear this'd this
I quite like Nova Scotian Arms "Cult Spectrum"
and still loving Evian Christ's "Kings and Them"
big up the evans family!
- oneforghost this'd this
looking forward to the Lee Noble / Ensemble Economique split LP in a month or so
oh and the Evan Caminiti tunes I've heard are gr8.
and Trouble Books obv, they are kind of lush
There are some really beautiful and transcendent moments on that Motion Sickness Of Time Travel album. Great album for drifting off inside, going to sleep, relaxing etc.
just ordered the LP
Check out her back catalogue too if you haven't
A Disimbodied Voice In The Dark, Sleeping Through the Veil of the Unconscious and Slow Architecture are particularly good.
Totally - all these are great. Would also add:
'Luminaries & Synastry' and 'White Candle' from last year also (two separate releases but all the tunes come from the same sessions).
Think the new self titled one probably tops the lot though
Interview with her at TMT
Interesting seeing her stuff about lyrics, picking them out.
black swan - aeterna
Is pretty good...wewerewerewolvesonce and GoatmeatMF this'd this
- larome and DanielKelly this'd this
New Jorg Burger/Wolfgang Voigt collab 'Mohn's' pretty excellent
don't think it's on Spotify, couple of tracks here though:
If you get onto the full album the first couple of tracks are pretty abrasive but then it really opens up nicely
Je Suit Le Petit Chevalier - An Age of Wonder
Can't believe I forgot this, unctious stuff. Liked the primary school-like hand painted inner sleeve mine had
^ dig this one yeah
Me too
Actually bought it yesterday on your recommendation so cheers for that!
This thread is brilliant
I'd only heard Does It Look Like I'm Here and Ravedeath before, discovering loads of new stuff
So far I properly love Holkham Drones (how did I miss this?) and The Idiots Are Winning, still got a lot of listening to do. THANKS GUYSareyouarealdoctor this'd this
Holkham Drones is all the better...
...if you've been to Holkham. By far my favourite North Norfolk place to chill out.
Been digging M. Geddes Gengras quite a bit
Had listened to a couple of tapes previously but have gone pretty deep, most probably due to the awesome Sun Araw and Congos collaboration.
His work's pretty varied, ranging from Keith Fullerton Whitman style synth workouts to almost full on noise, but he also does the blissful drone stuff amazingly well. As the OP was looking for Emeralds style drone, would massively recommend these two (think both are actually from late last year rather than this year, but whatever):
- 'Magical Writing' (Peccant Tapes)
This sold out, but available to stream and buy digitally (foe $3) at his bandcamp
- 'Rebirth Los Angeles' (Full Of Nothing Tapes)
Think there are some of these left:
Full of Nothing also have a bandcamp for people who don't fancy buying tapes from Russia!
Just read that back and it sort of looks like I might be being snide about Full Of Nothing records simply because they were from Russia
Really didn't want anyone to have that impression. I ordered the tape from them and it came within about a week and not only this, but they threw in some free stuff too, so would totally recommend ordering from them.
Was trying to make light of the fact that ordering a cassette tape from thousands of miles away was quite extreme lengths to go to just to hear an album, but I'm sure loads of people in this thread have done something similar. Apologies to Full of Nothing records and anyone who thought I was being smarmy.
Can this just turn into the rolling thread for this stuff?
High Wolf - Know Thyself
Came out on tape on Sun Ark recently. His Atlas Nation album last year was good tooflynnduism this'd this
Atlas Nation was amazing
love High Wolf too much.
yep, should def be a rolling thread
i guess the title was more to draw people in, and making it a bit more like 'i play a song, you play the next song' rather than anyone going 'well this is actually an ambient or minimal techno record' if you get what i mean? so glad this thread has taken off.
Ingenting Kollektiva ?– Fragments Of Night
These are particularly enchanting/scary
Homages to ingmar Bergman
Panabrite - http://panabrite.bandcamp.com/
Panabrite's stuff is really lush, pastoral kind of new-age synth mostly.
Attenuated - http://theradiantnow.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/trn-334-attenuated/ - fucking WIDESCREEN drone. Beautiful!
Golden Retriever - http://soundcloud.com/experimedia/golden-retriever-light-cones (only a preview)- More Emeraldsy synth stuff (w/ treated violin I think) that I can't be bothered to try and fail to describe. Super, super good.
Golden Retriever -
Yeah man
he posts some really great stuff. The latest post (Frank Gartner) is ace.
for a more dense fuzzy noisy kind of thing
Attenuated - 'Night of Sense' on Foxy Digitalis is fantastic.
Came out at the start of the year
but I really like it -
Drei by Swod
That's the highlight, love that song.
For utter lush-ness try the new Worm Ouroboros album Come The Thaw
Lush vocals + Lush guitar = Pure Lushandystevio this'd this
Mount Eerie - Clear Moon
Voices From the Lake - Voices From the Lake
Nadja - Excision (2-Disc, out-of-print vinyl cuts)
Azusa Plane - Where the Sand Turns to Gold (1995 - 2001)
Carter Tutti Void - Transverse
Alog - Unemployed
None of these or the above is exactly 'lush', mind you!
^Azusa Plane
Death of a Microphone from the first cd is propulsive drone (if that's not an oxymoron) in a Yellow Swans sort of way. Great record.
so i've turned the available bits so far into a Spotify playlist sampler
let's keep this thread rolling http://open.spotify.com/user/seaninsound/playlist/5PJq8YoM4KypLOO1HERpQY
You've been busy!
Thanks. :)
I am a bit biased but of course Trouble Books Concatenating Fields LP has to be up there,E_H_Gombreak, oneforghost, Pale-eyedBadger, and eagleminded this'd this
what were yr misadventures? name & shame pls.
you guys might enjoy these (larence english, grant evans/nova scotian arms etc.) ?
Nicholas Szczepanik ~ We Make Life Sad (pay-what-you-like d/l)
While i generally find his art concepts great ('Dear Dad' is a brilliant title for a drone record), i find the artwork/title of this one just a bit erm, mawkish (sorry bud!) but the music itself is great as always.
Gareth Dickson ~ Quite A Way Away (12k)
This is a more of a singer-songwriter record to be honest, but the label affiliations and the way echo is used (esp.) do give it this lush, almost drone-like feel while at the same time being quite anxious & restless. It's a really good record.
Black to Comm ~ Earth (Digitalis)
More weird, dark & tortured than lush but v. interesting record.
Isengrind, Je Suis le Petit Chevalier, Motion Sickness... been mentioned
Got any darker/noisier/freakier reccomendations?
I miss the ferware thread.
yeah. i'll come back to this this evenig (hopefully) when i have a moment when i'm not eating
...might even start another thread maybe
Celer - Evaporate & Wonder
Always worth a punt these two
Reading only_shallow's monthly article reminded me of this too
Painted Caves - Not Here Not There
genuinely haven't heard of 95% of the stuff listed here..... am I killing music?
- E_H_Gombreak and SCROTUM this'd this
Check out d'Eon's stuff if you havent already too
His remix on CFCF's Uno release is lovely
And his upcoming LP looks good. The tied-in Music for keyboards give-aways were excellent, especially/surprisingly the ruminations on Blink 182.
It's maybe not exactly what you're after
But the new Cinematic Orchestra (on Ninja Tune, who are ON FIRE at the moment) is pretty lush in a swooshy bathtime kinda way
I should say, it's not really Cinematic Orchestra
more a set curated by them, and featuring music by them, along with songs by Austin Peralta (hero) and some others. Dream Work by Dorian Concept and Tom Chant is like Luke Abbott meets Colin Stretson meets <insert composer that influenced Muse> and is amazing.
- Rhymenocerous this'd this
No love for Windy and Carl - We Will Always Be ?
Also been liking Orcas, Mirrorring, Cupp Cave, bvdub (THREE albums this year at the last count), Atom™. Only listened to The Motion Sickness of Time Travel album the once but need to have a proper sit-down with it...
Schmidts album is good then?
Haven't had the chance to listen to that yet, the idea of taking on WinterReise seems barmy
Didn't know an awful lot about the artist or the concept.
Just seen his list of aliases - bloody hell.
I really like it on first couple of listens, some beautiful moments, a couple that are a bit off the mark, but generally a good'un.
is pretty much the answer to this thread I think.
I really like it
and it made up for the ever-so-slight disappointment of the AWVFTS album (I think I'm the only person who doesn't find it amazing)...
But I'm not sure it's the standout album for me, W&C and bvdub are slaying it in terms of play count...
Olde English Spelling Bee is back!
In their own words: "Hey everyone -- thanks for the patient ears and eyes -- OESB is
getting back into gear -- not high gear yet, but low gear is better than no gear"
Such great news. My favourite label by a country mile 2009-2010, but all they managed to release in 2011 was a free download April Fools's Day 'tribute' to Creed. When the had a 'hurricane sale' at the end of last year, really thought it was the end of the road for them.
First new release is an Alice Cohen LP called 'Pink Keys' which if it's anything like the last one she put out will be awesome. Also coming out on CD which I think is a first for OESB. Hopefully will be the start of another deluge of incredible records that can be discussed at length in this thread...
Mpala Garoo - Ou Du Monde
Those of you who liked Peaking Lights last year MUST listen to this, it's probably the first 'guitar' album i've listened to this year i've fallen for. Syrupy tropical stuff, sweet like mangos. Aguirre are on such a tip at the minute.
I've got the tape of this
It's the first four tracks on that album. These sound like new vesions of them, or maybe they've been scrubbed up with a bit of a remaster. Been waiting to hear a good deal more from this guy for two years. He;s got a split with Golden Dwarves on Steak Au Zoo that came out this year too.
Do you know other Russian psychy droney people like Sunbells Fenimore (essential if you like this - http://sunbellsfenimore.bandcamp.com/) Twilight Owls, Velvet Breasts, Arabian Horses, Spirit Catapetl, Love Cult - and more a more industrial/dadaist bent; Asian Women on the Telephone.
all great artists.
New tape just out on Aguirre by a Russian drone dude called Black Sky Chants
Hadn't heard of him before but apparently also records as Bedroom Bear too.
Don't really know much about the Russian drone guys but this tape is great. Agree with Mr Gombreak - Aguirre is pretty much the trade mark of quality at the moment
Good call
Enjoying this
Vestals - Forever Falling Towards the Sky
Lisa McGee debut album, cant stop listening. It's almost shoegazey
Yeah it's really nice, and very shoegaze
Could see a lot of people loving it, but doubt it'll be widely covered.
Does feel a little brief though.
Hope it gets some rep, it's just the kind of thing sean would try create a new genre for
Got the Caminiti LP in the post today, it's the most beautiful thing.
Ah yeah
Night Dust is one of the nicest looking LPs I own. Brilliant record in every sense.
He's got another one coming out on Thrill Jockey in August...got a promo of it the other day, and it's equally brilliant. Really reminds me of Expo 70, it's pretty much full on kosmiche.
oh really?
Might have to see if I can get a hold of that. Wafts of Krautrock and Americana are my vices at the minute, the new one on Fax + 49-69/450464 (http://soundcloud.com/materialobject/pete-namlook-o-material-object) has been supplying the former nicely.
surprised nobody's mentioned the Caretaker record
released in January, 'Patience (After Sebald). intoxicating, as usual.marke this'd this
That Caretaker record is lovely
Did slip out slightly unnoticed at the start of the year though.
Persistent Repetition of Phrases is still the one for me though.
This is a brilliant record
Kelippah/Decimus have a bandcamp page too, can check/buy it here:
Worth getting the LP though cos it looks fantastic. The new NNCK LP on the same label is definitely worth checking out too.
Carter Tutti Void is the obvious answer
No UFO's - Soft Coast is also frippin great
Saitam - West-East
on soundcloud, give it a go http://soundcloud.com/iamsaitam
Nothing But Noise - Not Bleeding Red
This is stunning Tangerine Dream type stuff. Cinematic and plenty of depth to explore. http://boomkat.com/downloads/512455-nothing-but-noise-not-bleeding-red
Uton - Echoes In The Wonderland / Kun Korallit Puhuvat Pilville
LP and cassette/cdr. All tracks from the same sessions. One of the best things he's done and that's really saying something. Both still available from Ikuisuus records:
Uton's bandcamp is a goldmine too - 20 plus LPs (originally out as tapes/cdrs on labels like Digitalis, Students of Decay, Housecraft, Sloow etc) the vast majority for either free or pay what you like download
White Rainbow
Just spent a darn pleasurable time listening to this which he dropped on his Bandcamp yesterday
E-N - Already Gone
Is really good.Dan_S this'd this
Awesome thread...
Just got to find the time to plough through all the links.
Can I throw the VCMG album in to the mix? Some sublime moments on that.
Birdcatcher - Trees
Picked up on a recommendation from Volcanic Tongue. Double cassette.
If you like the heavier end of Barn Owl and Expo '70 then this is pretty much perfect. Two hours of heavy amplifier worship. Couple of guys on banjo and lap steel guitar (!) apparently, but you'd never know. Lot of pedals and a bit of tape manipulation too by the sound of things. Only listened all the way through once so far but it's already one of my favourite things this year
Two more Aristocrat P. Child Presents (Sun Araw) Mixes / Edits
'All Your Heart' and 'Looks Like Telephones'
Very similar to the stuff on the 'Sun Ark Edit Bay #1' tape that came out earlier this year.
Bee Mask ~ Vaporware [Room40]
This is coming out at some point and sounds really cool.
Deep Magic ~ Closed Eyes [Debacle]
Inez Lightfoot
definitely one to watch, I got her 'Pollen On The Brow' cassette last year and it's a really dusky folky sort of drone built up into these worldspaces of lyrical music and sound and field recordings, a bit like how Julia Holter crafts her releases. Debut LP 'Familiars' will be out on Digitalis soon.
Amazing digital compilation - 'Music For Tom Carter'
All proceeds going to help Tom Carter pay for additional medical treatment in the US after his very serious bout of pneumonia earlier this year.
Just look at the line up!
brilliant thread
working my way through it, cheers everyone
William Basinski - Disintergration Loops
Surprised this wasn't mentioned before http://open.spotify.com/album/0YKbsWqsHFMHbPVpgG12Ru
Looks like it's actually from 2002
not 2012 like Spotify claims
It was released 10 years ago, probably why...
Just had a fancy reissue in a mega expensive box set this year.oh_gerardus_MERCATOR this'd this
you *must* have already known this existed
something about any hack worth his salt.
exported the spotify playlist to RDIO
in case any of you prefer that http://rd.io/x/QNcAL1Wqlg
Severant by Kuedo maybe ?
what a beautiful album
Came out last year I'm affraid
Its amazingthough, you're right I still play it heavily. Saw him play at a festival ealier in the summer too he was brilliant.penny_racer this'd this
i saw the october release date and assumed it was this year. Great stuff nonetheless
CTRL-F Brian Eno
No? Well, he's coming out with a new ambient-only record in a few weeks. I'm very excited! (to be lulled!)
what do people make of 'Luxury Problems'?
it's not the knockout I was hoping for - lost a lot of the strangeness of last years EPs - but it's still pretty good.
pretty much sums it up perfectly
it's okay.
dunno if it fits here, but
solar maximum by majeure currently has my head bopping
lots of good synth and proggy drums
Andy Stott's 'Luxury Problems'
seems to be scratching that itch for me at the moment.
Paul Corley - Disquiet
Came out on Bedroom Community a few weeks ago and it's full of all kinds of lovely found sounds, electronics, clicks, whirrs, drones, prepared piano, etc. Well worth checking out.
just want to rep for 1973 (that's the album title) by Seirom
people posting itt should be loving this bad boy. you can listen here: http://auroraborealisrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/seirom-1973
annoyed that I ended up just giving it a diddy review in Terrorizer where pretty much no-one reading is going to care; I could have waffled about it on here or somewhere and caused maybe two people to care. it's been totally slept on but I love it
It was your Terrorizer review?
Stood out enough for me to care about it, so that's halfway to your grand aims.
It really is impressively excellent.
je suis le petit chevalier
multiple releases from this year (and last) and they are basically all on the psychedelic droney kind of thing. their output's pretty similar to that of motion sickness of time travel
Lichens - Litio Folk
Very limited edition vinyl, also available as DD - https://soundcloud.com/experimedia/lichens-litio-folk-album - entirely made of vocal samples, spellbinding from start to finish.
New Talvihorros maybe?
I think Brassica has a new EP out too, but I can't find it at the mo.
the Brian Eno app.
Has anyone here used/played it? It is amazing. You can make your own Does It Look Like I'm Here and it will never be quite the same twice. Hard to really explain how cool it is, you just have to start using it.
It's brilliant
And you can generate your own Not Not Fun album cover at the same time.
I really do like it.
Have you used Drone FX? Great for making Stars of the Lid kind of ambience. It can be used as a generative app or you can play the instruments yourself.
A Closer listen's top ten ambient albums:
Their whole end of feature is great overall.


text: I feel my DS is ready for solids because he shows all the signs that he is ready. With our pedi's go-ahead, we plan on starting soon. However, I'm confused about when to offer solids. I fully intend to nurse DS as long as he'll let me, so I definitely want to do this gradually. DS is nursed on demand; we don't have a schedule at all. When he's hungry, he gets fed. How do I fit solids into this type of schedule? How do I fit pumping for cereal into this type of schedule? I really want to use freshly pumped milk for cereal if possible instead of stored milk or formula.

Product photography Offer: Exclusive to Directory members
10% off workshop prices if booked before the end of May 2013
We have all been having an interesting discussion over on the facebook page about product photography. Lots of people took the time to add their thoughts and answer the poll which we really appreciated, thank you.
Most people felt that they had a good idea of what made a great product shot, although they felt they did not always get the best out of their equipment or set up. Some people did not feel taking shots with IPhones gave them the desired outcome.
Last year I bought myself a DSLR and thought it would solve all my problems with product photography. I even got a light box for Christmas! With each new gadget, photography becomes more complicated. To be quite honest I do not have the time to read manuals and practise until I remember where each function is on my camera! I barely get the manual open to the index before someone needs my undivided attention.
I have plans for this blog that go beyond writing thoughts and sharing hints and tips, if these plans are to develop then I need to brush up on my photographic skills! I did not know how this would happen and then along came Tina, of Tina Bolton Photography Ltd!
Tina runs a page called Cameras and Cake
Tina runs photographic workshops. You can visit her website by using the link below. Tina has designed a three hour workshop that mixes photography and cake. Mmmm, cake. Sounds perfect...you don't get to eat straight away though! The cake is used as a prop during the workshop, providing you with endless opportunity to fine tune your skills with Tina's expert tuition.
Needless to say I shall be booking myself on one of these very soon! Book before the end of May to take advantage of the 10% discount.

The Church of Dead Girls
Three young girls who had been abducted are found in the attic of a home in Aurelius, NY. They are dead, bound by rope to chairs side by side, and missing their left hands. The story narration turns back in time to when two unsettling events occur just a short period prior to the grisly discovery. First is the gruesome murder of Janice McNeal, ex-wife to Patrick and mother of Aaron. She is not very subtle about her sexual liaisons and is reputed to ...
