This is the first installment of a series Dave and I will run from time to time on deer gear we love. Similar to our "Good and Cheap" serial, an item featured in "The Good Stuff" needn't be inexpensive, it just has to meet a simple criteria; it works so well that it's gone from merely functional to holding a soft spot in our hearts.
Here's my opener; a tree step that—to the best of my knowledge—isn't even made any more. I started using Deer Me rope-on steps in the 1980's, when there wasn't a screw-in step made that could penetrate a tree without encouragement from a hammer and an act of God. My cousins put me on to Deer Me's, and we fell in love with them because they were very sturdy, totally quiet, relatively cheap (about $20 for four, I think), and easy to install. Better yet, they were safe; the step was not only wide enough for a bulky boot, it had a little upturn so your foot wouldn't slip off the end.

Who Da Phunk? (instrumental) - (4:41) 55 BPM
Review: Marz and Paul's Discobeta project returns after almost a year's silence with another firing collection of premium party jams. We ignite with straight-up party hit "Who Da Phunk?" before diving deep into "Good Foot", a barbed electro/funk hybrid where the hook screams mid-'00s while the bass and guitar scream mid-'70s. "Come Correct" is a heady rewind to the acid house halcyon era with more samples than a generous delicatessen. Speaking of generous, Funk Blasters have also thrown in an instrumental of "Who Da Punk?" for good measure. Bouncy.

Review: Scotty Marz and Erin Paul's Discobeta project hits party pay-dirt with this spotless four-track sample session. There's a slick rock vibe running through "Up & Coming" as we experience swashbuckling organic breakbeats and even bolder guitar riffs before we head deep into a groaning bass session on "NasT Anthem". Further on "Worthwhile" flips the flavour with a glitchy-disco lick complete with a mild peppering from Jay-Z while "Yo Hit It" gets busy on the classic funk tip, all horns, salubrious slap bass and sopping wet wah-wah guitars, it's the perfect way to end an accomplished EP.

Keep That Funk Alive - (4:11) 126 BPM
Review: Nu-funk breaks label Funk Blasters drop four new gems from the Itchy Bastards on this new EP - led by the chunky P-funk of "Funk Iz Us" and backed nicely by the old-school rap of "Movin' Machine" and the more disco-paced, brass-flecked "Hang On".

Review: Serious party vibes abound as El Salvadorian Itchy Bastards add three new funk nuggets to their armoury. "Make Money" takes Busta to trumpet school, "Lemme Talk" looks to Clinton for some world dominance (George, not Bill) and "Roundacorna" is a deeper, jacking affair with a lolloping slap-bass riff and some lovely organ and wukka-wukka guitar twangs on the main hook.

Review: Premium beat dealers Itchy Bastards lay the smack down once again with three instantly engaging party blasters. "Another State Of Mind" rolls heavily with a cheeky Van Halen reference and an overall anthemic vibe. "Lovers Rock", meanwhile, takes a very well-known Kathy Brown vocal and subverts her with dark panache. Finally "Ground Control" shows a heavier side to the Itchy fellows as we flip from half tempo to slick, spacey drum & bass. Complete with big synth flavours and a great sense of drama, it's the perfect way to conclude a highly accomplished EP.

Review: It's 80s time! Eat your Filofaxes. Buy low. Sell high. Have rubbish hair! Or... Just get your funky selves down on this retro-funky four piece. Spanish soundclowns Itchy Bastards give EU's "Doing Da Butt" a raw rub, ensuring not to take any of its authentic timely class. Morlack, meanwhile, takes what sounds like a Paula Abdul snippet and blends it with every shade of block party on "Give It Here" and gets cosmic with on well known vocal from "Let No Man Put Asunder" on "Monie 2009". Finally Itchy Bastards finish the show with some lovely glockenspiel action. Naturally.

Review: Famed for their Stank Soul Edits vinyl series, Mako & Mr Bristo return on Funk Blasters with the mightily titled, Electric Bongo Disco. The name captures the vibes on here pretty well - four vintage cuts loved for their breaks gently souped up for modern dance floors. Opener is "Sugar Hill Bongos", which lovingly updates a Sugarhill Gang classic. Elsewhere "Hype Fresh Mine" is poppy disco meets hip house, "Refried Beans" is a sweet vintage B-boy gem and "Electric Ruffneck" really goes there, sampling Edie Grant and somehow making it actually sound cool! Now that's talent.

Review: Here we have a shared EP showdown between 'seasoned ghetto-funk priest', Morlack, and the self-proclaimed 'deadly mash-up monks' Mako & The Hawk. Mash-ups are indeed the dish of the day, with the former delivering some cleverly tweaked 80s boogie "Big Flow" and slick vintage funk "Heaven's Posse". The latter act are on a different tip though, with Radio Clash given a hip-hop makeover in "Doug Clash" and a lazy rap meets reggae uptown in "Lighters On The Corner".

Review: Last year's Nasty Boogie LP by Mondo Exotica introduced us to this new kid on the electro-swing block. Now Funk Blasters have commissioned remixes of a selection of album tracks. This EP features four reworks, kicking off with Morlack's rejig of "Pussy Caravan", in which he turns in a solid, beefed-up party breaks jam. Elsewhere Kalletti Klub adds a pulsating tech-house edge to the big band joint "Make Them Dance" and Johnny Lectro turns "Stereophonic Swing" into a bizarre hybrid of clownish melodies and minimal house. Lastly Morlack returns for the moody electro-soul of his "Yellow Ribbon" remix.

Review: Just like his previous EP a few months back on Breakbeat Paradise, Morlack ticks every single party box possible across five tracks here. Kicking off with his darkest moment to date, "Ghetto Messiah" is a vicious Bassnectar flavoured rub of Fugee's "Rumble In The Jungle. Meanwhile "Get Twisted" flips the switch completely with a fair tale nu-funk jam that utilises DMX's "X Gonna Give It To Ya" to a booty-shaking excess. Elsewhere we find Big Daddy Kane going disco ("Dogzone V3") and Nas, Kanye and KRS-One getting lively on a the fattest p-funk groove this side of the Weight Watchers clinic ("Get A Lil' Stupid").

Review: French breaks-bass producer and remixer Morlack has made a name for himself with some cheeky edits and sub-punishing originals over the last few years, but "Where Do U Get Ur Funk From" is his first full-length foray for the Funk Blasters label and it's a gem from start to finish. A mix of straight up raw JB funk (as on "Put It Out") to heavyweight nu-funk breaks ("Soul Train Line"), Morlack lends his hand to all manner of styles and keeps things buzzing and distinctly party-flavoured over the LP's thirteen tracks.

Review: Every now and then the outre space-glam '80s outfits in Morlack's wardrobe start to beckon and before you know it he's rustled up another fine collection dedicated to his love of Go-Go, the cult proto hip-hop sound that emanated from Washington DC. If you're unfamiliar with this style, you can look to the Fresh Prince theme to get an idea (albeit a watered down version). For the real deal though check out the 13 raw cuts here that boast those signature rolling electro drums, funk samples and carefully layered acapelllas from the likes of King Tee and Chuck Brown.

Played by: Clairvo (MustBeat), TOSSES, Morlack
Review: Although it's fair to assume that every new release from party-orientated producer Morlack will mine the 1980s for inspiration, it's harder to guess which genre he'll focus on. This latest EP actually has more of a contemporary feel, but still doffs a hat to his beloved vintage boogie. "All I Wanna Do Is Funk With You" sounds like The Commodores if they had gone hip-house, "Anytime" features a raw and nasty arpeggiated bassline that's straight from Patrick Cowley's back catalogue, but with added go-go beats, and the title track is elasticated cocktail disco at its finest.

Review: As one of the leading Parisian future breakbeat masters, Morlack makes a return to Funk Blasters for a super groovy four track project by the name of 'Good To Go Go Vol. 5'. Right from the off we are greeted with super crunchy drum patterns on 'Woody's Groove' and 'Go Go Bart', both of which combine these arrangements with very catchy funk riffs. On 'Got My Eyes On You' the funk levels increase as smooth vocal samples roll into play alongside vibrant bass melodies. With 'Hey Buddy' we are thrown a super curveball as we delve into more latin rhythms and carnival themes before we finish the EP nicely with the crafty yet soulful design on 'Let Me See You Go Go'.

Review: Following up his original "Good To Go-Go" volume late last year, French funk shuffler Morlack unleashes his ghetto ghouls with this super heavyweight five pack. Both "Say Nope 2Dope" and "Wickedest Band Alive" swagger with block-rocking boogie funk flavour, referencing the likes of Rare Essence and Sugar Hill. Elsewhere we're seduced by Prince-level synth flashes on "Go-Go Queen", we're massaged by '80s synths on "Take Some Bitches" and get all p-funk on "You Know What's Up". Consistently heavy and utterly funky, Morlack's funk message is loud and clear right now.

Review: French funkateer Morlack gets lively with an EP that belies its unforgiving title... Far from sounding cruel, each of the five cuts on here resonate with a sprightly, positive glow. The big problem is where to start: do you kick off your party with the slap-bass naughtiness and party chant of "It's Hot"? Or you go straight for the jugular with the rampant "Do It To Me"? Alternatively you could press the 'carnival' button and get freaky with the heaving horns of "Mamboteca". How about throwing the party into delightful disarray with the Cypress Hill/Bootsy booty "Refugee Camp"? Or, for your final option, causing a mosh pit with the Busta-front electro-techno-rock clash "Tical"? It's all about the options, of which Morlack gives you plenty. Cruel? Too generous more like!

Review: Morlack's a dark horse! Having emerged in the last 18 months with a selection of ace floor-shattering singles on Breakbeat Paradise, Big M and Funk Blasters, he's not so once as hinted at a full-length album. Yet here it is; and it sounds as if it's been in our collections forever. Operating with a slithering, low-swung vibe there's heavy emphasis on bold hip-hop breaks, sopping wet basslines and well crafted hip-hop vocals from the likes of ODB, Bootsy Collins, Public Enemy and many many more. As the album progresses we shimmy from cheeky b-boy to raw funk ("Bizz") to 80s electro boogie pop ("Yabba Bridge") to decadent synth-driven proto-house ("I'm Too Sexy"). From mischievous funk flinger to full album artist, Morlack's taking names right now.

Review: Morlack comes correct once again with a 27-track collection of total funk blasts. Naughty booties, reversions and mash-ups galore, the eclectic vibe ranges from skippy hair-swishing party rock ("Funky Woman") to cheeky Ting Tings reversions ("Hang It Up") via crazy blends of Zeppelin, Black Box and Outkast ("Ride On A Whole Lotta Love"). Elsewhere we hit gems like the big disco string B.M.W sucker punch "Get A Lil Stupid" and Bowie-busting block party slammer "Triple Fame". Morlack's repertoire was already bulging before this - now it's just ridiculous. Easily one of the best masters of the illicit art of mashery.

Review: Go-Go was a strain of US hip-hop that hit peak popularity in the mid to late 80s...unless you are re-edit hero Morlack who has never let go (go). Good To Go-Go Vol IV features seven of the kind of tunes that saw the style quickly evolve into themes for TV shows like Fresh Prince Of Bel Air and The Cosby Show (season eight FYI). Highlights include the quirky funk of the cruel-to-be-kind "Wind It On Ugly", the raw throated Busta Rhymes bounce of "Love 2 Fire" and the DX synth bass twangs of smooth soul jam, "She's A Bad Girl".

Review: We all know his name. And by now we should all know what he sounds like, too... Morlack has been blazing the nu funk, bass and bootleg scene with creativity and stacks of long players for a good half decade now. This latest set comprises 14 of his genre-melting dancefloor devices; from the Kravitz dancehall facelift "Boss Like Me" to the slap-bass strutting, percussion heavy 80s rap homages "For The Brothers In The Ghetto" and "Problems Generator" each cut is primed for unashamed party fun. Elsewhere there's a 90s ghetto twist on the Tower Of Power-twisting "Movin' On The Dumb Stuff" while another highlight "Back It On" sees Beenie Man getting the funkiest version of his illustrious life. Not a dull moment throughout, Morlack keeps killing it. Get to know.

Well wherever he disappeared to this producer is back and he's brandishing a new album to boot! Beautiful Mistakes features 13 new jams, all of which are guaranteed to get you moving in one direction or other. Highlights include the lively jump up Egyptian DnB of "Belly Pyramid", the smooth 80s soul grind of the title track and the glistening electro-funk grooves of "Nightlife". Back in business!

Review: Morlack assembles yet another distinguished troupe for his latest label collection. All exclusives, all funky, all guaranteed to smash your party's trousers to pieces, highlights include the Parliament-level squidgy funk on DJ Clairvo's "I Like To Like It", DiscObeta's disco-flexing fix of Redman on "Get It On", Mako & Mr Bristow's super nerdy homage of criminally overlooked hip-hop classics "Re-Freshed Rhymes" and Itchy Bastards' guitar-slapping glitch space disco breaker "Let Yourself Go". Morlack has the honour of closing the show, and he does so with a euphoric twist on an A-Ha classic. Incredible stuff, it needs to be heard to be believed.

Review: What do we have here then? Well Morlack's decided to compile the perfect (digital) stocking filler here, with the 33 tracks bumper compilation Essential Blasters on his mighty Funk Blasters label. Essentially we get many tracks from a small pool of artists, but that's cool because it's literally chocker with party anthems, all perfect for the festive season. Highlights include the brassy, go-go stomp of Morlack's "Put It Out", the raw breaky funk of "Lemme Talk" by Itchy Bastards and the 4/4 rockabilly swagger of "Elephant Boogie" by Mondo Exotica.

Autism has lifetime consequences, with potentially a range of impacts on the health, wellbeing, social integration and quality of life of individuals and families. Many of those impacts are economic. This study estimated the costs of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in the UK. Data on prevalence, level of intellectual disability and place of residence were combined with average annual costs of services and support, together with the opportunity costs of lost productivity. The costs of supporting children with ASDs were estimated to be £2.7 billion each year. For adults, these costs amount to £25 billion each year. The lifetime cost, after discounting, for someone with ASD and intellectual disability is estimated at approximately £1.23 million, and for someone with ASD without intellectual disability is approximately £0.80 million.

In the ongoing drama over its Erotic Services section, Craigslist this week urged an Illinois District Court to dismiss a lawsuit brought against it by a Cook County sheriff...
"While the AGs may wish it was not so, federal law protects Craigslist and no amount of posturing will change that fact," Matt Zimmerman, an EFF senior staff attorney, wrote in a blog post. "And that's a good thing. The existence of sites that rely on third party content depends on strong uniform legal protections against liability based on material posted by users. If site operators were forced to screen all third party contributions under risk of civil or criminal penalty, the Internet would lose many of the vibrant services that have made it so dynamic."

Football: Predictable or not, Lamar rates as favorite
Published 4:27 pm, Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Lamar is once again the preseason favorite in District 20-5A, according to "Dave Campbell's 2012 Texas Football" magazine and other media outlets.
It's hard not to choose the Redskins, who return a combined 11 starters off a squad that finished 10-3 and advanced to the Class 5A-Division I regional semifinals a year. Long-time head coach Tom Nolen, gearing up for his 28th season at Lamar, seldom fails to produce a winner.
"There are a couple of reasons why we're usually good," Nolen said. "We have talent and, being a larger 5A school, we have the numbers. Plus, we've had stability with our coaching staff, guys who have been with us for 10, 20-plus years. It's a combination of all these things."
It's not enough that District 20-5A foes have to deal with Lamar's athleticism, but they must contend with decades of tradition.
The 2012 version of the Redskins, who open the season against Klein Forest at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31, at Delmar Stadium, should enhance Nolen's résumé.
More Information
Lamar file
Consistent winners: It's not a surprise that Lamar was picked to claim the District 20-5A by "Dave Campbell's 2012 Texas Football" magazine. The Redskins, who finished 10-3 and reached the Class 5A-Division I regional semifinals last season, are the defending champs and have owned the league for most of head coach Tom Nolen's 28 years at Lamar.
Defensive approach: The Redskins should have the district's top defense, with six returning starters. Among the standouts are senior defensive linemen Zelt Minor, Charles Onyekwelu and Travon Elmer, senior linebacker Jack Anderson, senior cornerback Cedric Lancaster and junior free safety John Bonney.
Kick-off time: Lamar opens the season against Klein Forest at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31, at Delmar Stadium.
"We'll be competitive," Nolen said. "We have six starters back on defense and close to that on offense. What is most encouraging is we have younger guys trying to take their jobs. Our players seem to push each other."
As is the norm, defense is Lamar's strong suit, especially an underrated defensive line.
Senior Zelt Minor, a 6-foot-3, 260-pound defensive end, leads the way. Minor, a first-team all-district selection, has already announced his verbal commitment to the University of Houston.
He's joined up front by senior defensive tackle Charles Onyekwelu (6-1, 260), another college prospect and a second-team all-league pick.
Senior Travon Elmer (6-2, 270) is the other defensive tackle, while juniors Ira Lewis (6-2, 220) and Abdul Ahmad (6-1, 200) will split time at the other defensive end spot.
"All of them are athletic, especially the ends," Nolen said.
The inside linebackers are seniors Jack Anderson (6-0, 200) and Greg Gibson (5-11, 190). Senior Cravon Rogers (5-10, 185) is a combo outside linebacker/strong safety.
Lamar's secondary is exceptional, featuring senior Cedric Lancaster (5-9, 170) at cornerback and junior John Bonney (6-1, 185). Lancaster recorded three INTs and added four TDs on kick-off returns, claiming first-team all-district honors.
"Cedric might be the best all-around player on the team," Nolen said. "He's a three-year starter, one of the best cover guys in the area and a big threat returning punts and kick-offs."
Senior Nick Richardson (5-10, 185) could start at safety, while sophomore Holton Hill (6-1, 165) is the front-runner at the other cornerback.
Lamar's offensive leader is junior quarterback Darrell Colbert (5-11, 180), Last season, Colbert completed 85 of 162 passes for 1,203 yards, 11 touchdowns and only one interception while also rushing for more than 400 yards and four scores.He was named District 20-5A's newcomer of the year.
"What Darrell did on the field was impressive for a 15-year-old. He showed a lot of maturity," Nolen said. "Darrell is the key to our offense. We need him to step it up to be a championship-type team."
Senior Cory Mitchell (5-9, 200) is a three-year starter at fullback, while junior Darius Durall (5-10, 180) is the new tailback.
"Cory contributes in so many different ways. He's a terrific blocker and can run and catch the ball," Nolen said. "Darius didn't play much last year, but we're expecting big things from him."
Junior Levi Whiteing (5-9, 175) adds depth at running back for Lamar, which is known for spreading the wealth among its bevy of skill players.
The Redskins' most dangerous receivers are senior Beau Wells (5-11, 170), another three-year starter, and junior speedster Shelby Walker (5-10, 160), a track standout for Lamar. The tight ends are senior Josh Stewart (6-0, 205) and junior Justin Hollie (6-3, 215).
Nolen is mildly concerned about the offensive line, which was hit hard by graduation.
Senior Marco Wilson (6-3, 260) and junior C.J. Barner (6-0, 235) are the tackles, senior Xavier Flores (6-2, 320) and junior Braylon Hyder (6-0, 250) are the guards and junior Stephen Whitfield (5-11, 220) moves from guard to center. Wilson and Whitfield are the lone holdovers on the line.
Lamar should have a big edge over the competition with its special teams. Aside from winning the field position battle with returners like Lancaster, senior kicker/punter Max Peddie (6-3, 175) is known for his strong, accurate leg.

In the small community of Blacksburg and across the country, students, family, and friends gathered on Sunday to say good bye to the victims of Monday's massacre at Virginia Tech.
Even for pastors who constantly comfort families in crisis the emotion is raw.
"The stench of death is around this campus," said Pastor Reggie Tuck at a service at the United Methodist Church of Blacksburg, where candles were lit for all 32 victims and each name was read aloud.
Ryan Clark, 22, one of the first to die, was buried today 330 miles to the south in Evans, Ga. His fellow musicians from the Virginia Tech marching band made the long drive to perform at the service.
President Bush devoted his entire radio address today to the tragedy.
"Our society continues to wrestle with the question of how to handle individuals whose mental health problems can make them a danger to themselves and to others," he said. "Colleges and state and local officials are now confronting these issues and the federal government will help."
Investigators continue to run down leads, trying to learn whether Seung-Hui Cho communicated with anyone by e-mail or cell phone about his plans for the massacre.
For the first time since Monday's horror, there are signs the Virginia Tech campus is coming back.
The baseball team played Saturday night against visiting University of Miami. The home crowd couldn't have cared less that their team lost 11-9.
Students and their families are steadily making their way back to campus. Classes resume on Monday. But officials say no one who chooses not to show up will be penalized.

The same God that opens doors will close doors. Maybe you prayed and didn't get the job you really wanted or a relationship didn't work out. It's easy to allow rejection to lead to discouragement and think that God is not working in your life. But God sees the bigger picture for your life. He knows where every road is leading and where the dead ends are. Proverbs 20:24 says, "A person's steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?" When you realize you are in the palm of God's hand and that nothing happens without His divine purpose, then you will begin to see and realize that the closed doors are just as important as the open doors.
Great post. This is so true!

There are some things you can do to help with boasts, but some of these will prevent you from fulfilling some other boasts.
Boast: No Protection: Description: Do the quest naked. Assist: Berserk makes you faster, and at level 2 or 3 you will not be knocked down or stunned by enemy blows. Assist: Slow Time allows you to stay behind or away from your opponent so your lack of armor will not get you killed. Invalidate: Physical Shield acts as armor and will cause you to fail this boast.
Boast: Fist Fighter: Description: Complete the quest without using any weapons or offensive magic. Assist: Physique. If you are going after enemies barehanded, you want as much muscle as you can get. This also means wielding heavy weapons as often as possible. Assist: Quickness. It helps no matter what weapon you are using, but since most unarmed attacks are weak, and do not even stun some enemies, you want to be able to hit as hard and as fast as possible. Assist: Heal Wounds will keep you alive. You will need it unless you are a master of dodging. Assist: Physical Shield is one of the few spells you can use, but since you do not regenerate mana when using it, you better hope this uses less mana for the damage dealt than healing does. This is recommend over Healing, unless you must also keep allies alive. Assist: Slow Time. Because you cannot use weapons, and Healing or using Physical Shield takes a lot of mana, this helps you avoid getting hit. However, at lower levels it just is not worth the mana consumption for the time given. Level 3 at least before you rely on it during a Fist Fighter; you will want that mana for other uses. Invalidate: Drawing a weapon, even if you do not use it. Invalidate: Any spell except those mentioned above. Note: Even Multi Strike and Berserk, which only affect you, but aid in combat.
Boast: Don't Let (NPC) Die: Description: Keep (followers) alive until the end of the quest. Assist: Berserk allows you to keep from reacting to enemy hits, which allows you to move over to the followers and either defeat their attackers or heal all allies within range. Assist: Enflame hits only enemies, even if allies are within the range. Unless you are actively targeting one, your allies will not get hit. This is a useful way to knock all enemies around you away, as well as doing a hefty amount of damage at higher levels. Assist: Lightning will hit one enemy for each level you put into it. At level 4, it can hit four enemies at once, keeping them virtually immobile, and can even decapitate bandits. The range of this spell, as well as the number of enemies it can hit, makes it a very useful way to take out numbers of enemies at range. Assist: Heal Wounds at level 1 is practically worthless. It heals almost as much as it costs in mana. Level 2 is a big improvement; all levels increase range. Level 4 will heal over half of the hit points of nearly any ally you have, and in almost the same size radius as a level 4 Enflame, if not more. Invalidate: Let the NPC(s) die.
Boast: Don't Let (NPC) Get Hurt: Description: Prevent (follower) from becoming injured. Assist: Enflame. It hits only enemies and has a large range. Force Push will hit anyone, even allies within its radius. Assist: Berserk prevents you from getting caught up in being your enemies' punching bag. You can plow any enemy out of the way and you will not be stunned by their blows. Assist: Slow Time will allow you to reach your enemies before they can attack, get in the way of an attack to prevent your follower from becoming injured, and allow you to kill many of the threats to your follower before they can act. Level 4 is a monumental improvement over level 1 in both the time you are allowed, and the speed at which your enemies are reduced to. Invalidate: You will fail this boast if your follower gets hit. The game may glitch and allow your follower to get hit and give you the money, but record the boast as failed. If your follower gets hit and you do not fail the quest, you will get the money but not a completed boast in your record.

Baylor Chamber Orchestra Plays on November 4Nov. 1, 1999
by Richard Veit
The newly-formed Baylor University Chamber Orchestra, which features some of the School of Music's finest orchestral musicians, will present its inaugural concert at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, in Jones Concert Hall in the McCrary Music Building. The orchestra performs under the direction of Stephen Heyde, Conductor-in-Residence and director of orchestral activities.
Music of an Italian baroque composer, Francesco Geminiani, will open the program, as the Baylor Chamber Orchestra plays his Concerto Grosso in D major, Op. 3, No. 1.
The Unanswered Question by Charles Ives dates from 1908 and is scored for trumpet, flute quartet, and strings. The trumpet soloist will be Longino Villarreal, a senior from Garcíasville, Texas.
Chamber music by the prolific French composer Camille Saint-Saëns will feature seven instrumentalists from the orchestra. They will play Saint-Saëns's Septet for Piano, Trumpet, and Strings, Op. 65.
Concluding the concert will be one of Joseph Haydn's early symphonies, led by guest conductor Jeffrey Grogan, assistant professor and associate director of bands. The Baylor Chamber Orchestra will present Haydn's Symphony No. 22 in E-flat major, known as the "Philosopher" Symphony because of its slow, pensive introduction.
This concert is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Baylor School of Music at 710-3991.

Former Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon declined to speak with reporters at Sunday's game, two days after the Raiders said they wanted to ban him from the team facility because of his ongoing criticism of the organization.
Gannon finally spoke about the matter on his weekly show on Sirius NFL satellite radio, with this excerpt emailed to reporters Tuesday morning.
"Let me just say this," Gannon said when asked about it by a caller. "I tried to take the high road on that situation. It was unfortunate and it is what it is. I will say this: I really feel like the organization should care less about who is broadcasting the games and more about the product on the field and putting people in the stands. I think that's the bottom line. I wish, certainly, the Raiders well. But it is frustrating to watch the team right now."
For the sake of closure, the Raiders did relent and said Gannon, now a CBS analyst who did Sunday's Raiders-Broncos games, could come because of league rules. It turned out Gannon didn't show up because of a late flight — which Raiders executive John Herrera called a "win-win situation."
So that's that. Until Gannon does another Raiders game for CBS.

It was the ceremony for the accession of a new Muisca chief on Lake Guatavita which gave rise to the legend of 'El Dorado' - 'The Gilded Man'.
'He went about all covered with powdered gold, as casually as if it were powdered salt. For it seemed to him that to wear any other finery was less beautiful, and that to put on ornaments or arms made of gold worked by hammering, stamping, or by other means, was a vulgar and common thing.' Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, 1535-48
The Muisca towns and their treasures quickly fell to the Conquistadores. Taking stock of their newly won territory, the Spaniards realized that - in spite of the quantity of gold in the hands of the Indians - there were no golden cities, nor even rich mines, since the Muiscas obtained all their gold from outside. But at the same time, from captured Indians, they began to hear stories of El Dorado ('The Gilded Man') and of the rites which used to take place at the lagoon of Guatavita. There were Indians still alive who had witnessed the last Guatavita ceremony, and the stories these Indians told were consistent. Every one of the Spanish chroniclers refers to the Gilded Man, but probably the most authoritative account comes from Rodrígues Freyle, who learned it from his friend, Don Juan, nephew of the last independent lord of Guatavita.
'The ceremony took place on the appointment of a new ruler. Before taking office, he spent some time secluded in a cave, without women, forbidden to eat salt and chilli pepper, or to go out during daylight. The first journey he had to make was to go to the great lagoon of Guatavita, to make offerings and sacrifices to the demon which they worshipped as their god and lord. During the ceremony which took place a the lagoon, they made a raft of rushes, embellishing and decorating it with the most attractive things they had. They put on it four lighted braziers in which they burned much moque, which is the incense of these natives, and also resin and many other perfumes. The lagoon was large and deep, so that a ship with high sides could sail on it, all loaded with an infinity of men and women dressed in fine plumes, golden plaques and crowns… As soon as those on the raft began to burn incense, they also lit braziers on the shore, so that the smoke hid the light of day.'
'At this time they stripped the heir to his skin, and anointed him with a sticky earth on which they placed gold dust so that he was completely covered with this metal. They placed him on the raft ... and at his feet they placed a great heap of gold and emeralds for him to offer to his god. In the raft with him went four principal subject chiefs, decked in plumes, crowns, bracelets, pendants and ear rings all of gold. They, too, were naked, and each one carried his offering .... when the raft reached the centre of the lagoon, they raised a banner as a signal for silence. The gilded Indian then ... (threw) out all the pile of gold into the middle of the lake, and the chiefs who had accompanied him did the same on their own accounts. ... After this they lowered the flag, which had remained up during the whole time of offering, and, as the raft moved towards the shore, the shouting began again, with pipes, flutes, and large teams of singers and dancers. With this ceremony the new ruler was received, and was recognized as lord and king.'
El Dorado became a myth and a dream; a city, personage or kingdom, it always lay beyond the next range of mountains, or deep in the unexplored forests. The search for this other, non-existent, El Dorado, in various parts of South America, was to occupy men's efforts for another two centuries.
Lázaro Fonte and Hernán Perez de Quesada. The very first to try was Lázaro Fonte, Quesada's lieutenant, but achieved little for lack of money and resources. In 1545 or so, Hernán Perez de Quesada, brother of the Conquistador, made an attempt. During the dry season he formed a bucket chain of labourers with gourd jars, and in three months' work managed to lower the water level by about three metres - enough to expose the edges of the lake bed, though not its centre. According to contemporary reports, between 3000 and 4000 pesos of gold were found.
Antonio de Sepúlveda. A rich merchant of Santa Fe de Bogotá, Antonio de Sepúlveda made one of the most serious attempts. In the 1580's he built houses on the lake shore and took soundings from a boat. Using eight thousand Indian workman, he cut a great notch in the rim of the lake, lowering the water level by 20 metres before the cut collapsed, killing many of the labourers and causing the abandonment of the scheme.
A report in the Archive of the Indies for 1586 notes that, after deducting what belonged to him under the terms of the contract, Sepúlveda sent the royal share of the gold to King Philip 11 in Madrid, and also an emerald weighing 2 onzas (nearly 60 grammes) and valued at 50 pesos by the experts in Bogotá. His finds included 'breastplates or pectoral discs, serpents, eagles', a staff covered with gold plaques and hung with little golden tubes, and an emerald the size of a hen's egg, 'making a total of five or six thousand ducats for the royal treasury'. One of his old friends said of him… 'He said that,from the part of the lake margin that he managed to uncover, he obtained more than 12,000 pesos. Much later, the desire came over him to make another attempt at drainage, but he could not, and in the end he died poor and tired. I knew him well, and I helped to bury him in the church at Guatavita.'
Another attempt was made in 1625. A consortium of twelve partners made a contract with the authorities using the same terms given to Sepúlveda but the results of the attempt went unrecorded. Interestingly, Indian workmen used were to be paid the same amounts as Spanish soldiers.
Alexander von Humboldt. The foremost natural scientist of his day, Alexander von Humboldt visited Guatavita in 1801 and measured Sepúlveda's cut and the heights of the mountain rim. Back in Paris after his travels, he tried to calculate how much gold the lake might contain. Estimating that one thousand pilgrims might have visited Guatavita each year over a period of one hundred years, and that each visitor threw in five objects, he arrived at the figure of about 500,000 offerings, worth, in 1807, some 300 million dollars. This was later recalculated, and by 1825 travel literature had it that: 'According to a calculation, made from a basis laid down by Monsieur de la Kier, of the Royal Institute of Paris, who particularly examined every document relating to the lagoon, there ought to be gold and precious stones yet buried in it to the amount of one billion one hundred and twenty millions sterling.' - Captain Charles Stuart Cochrane, son of the Admiral who commanded the Chilean fleets during the Wars of Independence.
José Ignacio Paris. Don 'Pepe' Paris, a prominent citizen of Bogotá and a friend of Bolivar, formed a company to drain lake Guatavita by once again making a cut in the rim. It caused a lot of interest in the 1820's but failed due to poor excavating techniques. It was the first attempt, however, from which a proper archaeological specimen remains.
'The Company for the Exploitation of the Lagoon of Guatavita' was formed in 1898, quickly passing on the right to excavate to 'Contractors Ltd.' of London. The broker in this deal was Hartley Knowles, a British resident in Colombia. The Company's aim was simple - to drain away the water through a tunnel that would come up in the centre of Guatavita, with sluices to regulate the outflow and mercury screens to catch any gold objects or emeralds. It worked - the tunnel came up as planned, the water flowed out - and there is a photograph to prove it.
But when the lake bed was first exposed, it was several feet deep in mud and slime, so that no one could walk on it and the next day, the sun baked the mud to the consistency of cement so hard that it could not be penetrated. The baked mud blocked the sluices, the tunnel was sealed and the lagoon filled up again to its former level.
Objects worth £500 had been found, and were auctioned at Sotheby's, but bankruptcy followed and despite two further attempts to float the Company, it eventually died in 1929. Several more attempts were made, using drills, mechanical drags and airlifts, until the Colombian Government brought Guatavita under legal protection in 1965 as part of the nation's historical and cultural heritage.

Pyknic is a cuddly and gorgeous 3-year-old cat with lots of love to give. Her silky smooth mane makes her look like a chocolate lion. Pyknic loves the company of people, always reaching out for pets and scratches behind the ears. She also loves the company of other cats and would do well in a home with another cat given a proper introduction.
A note from her foster:
"Pyknic is a black beauty! Depending on which way the light hits her long, flowing fur, it can range from a black to a deep, espresso brown. She is a very confident cat, and had no qualms about exploring her environment after being let out of her carrier. She is extremely mellow, and loves human company."
If you would like to meet Pyknic, stop by the shelter during adoption hours from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Willard is a 7-month-old fun-loving pup who loves to play and will steal your heart. He's curious, friendly and loves everyone he meets. He has nice manners and enjoys training. Willard is great with other dogs and might even be able to live peacefully with dog-savvy cats given proper training and introduction.
A note from one of our kennel attendants:
"Willard is a quick study, and he has already begun learning some basic obedience skills. He knows 'sit' like the back of his paw, and he's starting to work on 'stay.' He has also undergone some elementary crate training; he loves his crate, and he will even enter and exit on cue. This will give him a head start when it comes to house training and travel."
Come meet Willard and all of his friends during our dog adoption hours from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday to Friday.
The Berkeley East Bay Humane Society is at 2700 Ninth St. For more details call 510-845-3633, ext. 14 or ext. 25.

A recent episode of the TV show South Park has raised some controversy with a religious group popular with celebrities...
[Sound clip of the President of Scientology preparing to tell Stan the truth about Scientology]
Isaac Hayes, who plays the voice of Chef...
[Chef: Hello there, Children!]
...recently quit the show over his distaste of the shows content. Comedy Central, the network who shows South Park, was scheduled to air last week, but was aborted at the last minute by the network. There are claims that Tom Cruise threatened to not promote Mission: Impossible 3 if the show was aired again. Paramount Pictures, the movie studio behind M:I3, and Comedy Central are both owned by Viacom.
In a recent press release, the creators of the show said "So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun!"
[At this point the article presenter signed off... Whatever, KFBK, and the anchors, Kitty O'Neal and Jay Allen, commented]
Who are those two guys who created it? The Parker brothers? Yeah, they won't back down from something like this.
So WOOHOO!!! Hail Xenu!

McCain Concedes:
Congratulations to Senator Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States. He ran a very strong campaign, I thought: His defeat of Hillary Clinton in the primary was a quite an accomplishment, and he was in control for most of the general election. This was a tough election for any Republican to win, but I thought Obama was also an unusually strong candidate: Perhaps the best Democratic nominee I have seen. Anyway, we can now (finally) put the long fought campaign behind us. Best of luck to Senator Obama as he looks ahead to the Presidency.

Inge by Inge
Brian Scott Lipton • New York City • Feb 7, 2003
"I am shocked at the number of people who have no I idea who I am talking about when I say William Inge," says Jack Cummings III, founder of the two-year-old company Transport Group. But Inge, who committed suicide at age 60, will be gone but not forgotten if Cummings has his way: the company's new production is Requiem for William, a program of seven short plays by Inge, running February 2-March 2 at the Connelly Theater (220 East 4th Street).
"What I love about his writing is that it centers on big themes using small places and seemingly ordinary people," says Cummings of Inge. "It's nothing bizarre or creepy, but it's devastating nonetheless. Elia Kazan said there was 'quiet terror' in Inge's writing. And there is such poetry in the language."
In the 1950s, Inge's name was usually mentioned in the same breath as Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams (who helped Inge get his first play, Farther Off From Heaven, produced in the late 1940s). While Miller's and Williams' works are constantly revived, only Bus Stop and Picnic have been given second bows on the Main Stem -- both in the 1990s, in less than stunning productions by Circle in the Square and Roundabout, respectively. While Inge's milieu (his plays are set in the Midwest) may be a factor in his decline in popularity, Cummings has another take on the subject: "I think it may be that his personal life was so quiet -- so lived behind closed doors, as opposed to Miller or Williams -- that he hasn't remained famous."
Had Cummings truly had his druthers, Transport Group would have mounted a full production of Come Back, Little Sheba; the company did a benefit reading of the 1950 drama last summer with Heather MacRae, Joseph Siravo, and Julia Murney. But due to difficulties in obtaining the rights to that work, Cummings returned to the short plays, which he had first encountered in graduate school. Though he had 11 to choose from, he says that he only connected with seven of them, including "To Boblink, For Her Spirit," about a pair of determined autograph hunters; "The Boy in the Basement," about a miserable funeral home director who still lives with his parents; and "A Social Event," about two Hollywood hopefuls who try to wangle an invitation to a mogul's funeral.
In keeping with the company's mission to showcase large casts, Requiem for William features 26 actors, including veterans Marni Nixon and Taina Elg along with such Broadway regulars as Toni DiBuono, Diane Sutherland, and Joe Kolinski. Cummings made a conscious decision not to have any actor in more than one play; "Inge's descriptions of his characters are so precise," he explains, "and I didn't want to have to shoehorn someone into the wrong part just because they were perfect for another play. It's also good for the actors, since I'm asking for minimal rehearsal time. It's a lot easier to get some people to work for you when you're not asking them to do Long Day's Journey Into Night."
Each play ends with an original song that serves as something of an epilogue. "Music is such a big component of what we do as a company," says Cummings. "And the plays are short enough that they could each accommodate a song without making the evening too lengthy." Each piece has been written by a different composer and lyricist; the 11 participants include Michael John LaChiusa, Brian Crawley, Jenny Giering, Tom Kochan, and Cheryl Stern. "Because the plays are so different from one another, I felt that each song needed its own writer," says Cummings. "Plus, given how little money we have, it would be hard to ask one composer to write the whole score."
Given that the company was formed on the cusp of September 11, it's amazing that Transport Group has been able to raise any funds at all. "That year, people seemed to feel guilty if they were giving money to anything but a 9/11 charity," says Cummings. Fortunately, he is married to Broadway star Barbara Walsh, who has not only done benefit solo concerts for the group but has helped to recruit many of her illustrious colleagues -- including Faith Prince, Malcolm Gets, Brad Oscar, Bryan Batt, and Boyd Gaines -- for the company's annual "Gimme a Break" benefits. (Walsh will not appear Requiem only because she's touring in a new Cy Coleman show.)
Cummings and Transport Group co-founder Robyn Hussa are spending their money wisely and making some very creative decisions. Last spring, the company presented an unusual version of Our Town in which George and Emily were played by older actors (Tom Ligon and Barbara Andres) and the stage manager was a teenage girl. "A lot of companies get caught up in readings and workshops," says Cummings, who does just that in his full-time job as associate director of the Lark Theater Company. "Our goal is to get one full production up each year for now, and hopefully two very soon. And whatever we put in front of people has to be of real quality."

If you happen to be reading this post between 10:00 a.m. and noon, Pacific time, today (Friday), show some love to two of your NCS Co-Authors and tune in to their radio program. We can guarantee they will be playing two hours of some sweet extreme metal.
You will need Winamp, iTunes, XMMS or an mp3 player capable of listening to shoutcast streams to tune in. You can listen by clicking this link. And for future reference, here's the URL:
So go do it!
Today we're continuing the experiment we began two days ago, to test our hypothesis that at least in the world of extreme metal, cool album cover art usually means there's something worth hearing in the music. Yeah, we know it's a ridiculous, illogical hypothesis, but at least in our random experience we think there's some truth to it. Besides, it's proven to be an interesting vehicle for checking out some new music.
The test methodology we used is this: We looked at news blurbs on Blabbermouth over a recent 48-hour period about new or forthcoming albums, and every time we saw a cool album cover, we visited the band's MySpace site and listened to what was available from the album.
In Part 1 of this experiment, we reported on our first two test samples — a forthcoming album from Keep of Kalessin and a recently released album from Trident. So far, our samples confirm the hypothesis. Today, we're reporting on the results of three more samples, courtesy of Setherial, Trigger the Bloodshed, and Witchery.
The first sample is an album called Ekpyrosis scheduled for release in May on Regain Records by that Swedish band, Setherial. The cover art, by an artist named Bartosz Nalezinski, is pictured at the top of this post. We thought it was kinda cool — a ghoulish metamorphosis of some traditional Christian iconography. But is the music cool? We have our own opinion … after the jump. (plus the other test results)
We have a pile of new, unheard releases stacked so high on the "Incoming!" table at the NCS Island that it's in serious danger of collapsing into a heap of digitized rubble. So what are we listening to?
Well, of course, in our usual ass-backwards fashion, we're listening to, and writing today about, an album by a French black-metal band called Aosoth that came out in December of last year. Why? Because Ashes of Angels is just so fucking raw and nasty that we can't help but dig the shit out of it.
Of course, cats in heat are also raw and nasty, but that doesn't mean we like listening to the noise they make. But Aosoth brings more to the cat fight than sharp claws and hair-raising howls.
Every song features a vehement blend of barn-burner blast beats and rapidly whumping double-bass (like a helicopter's rotors whirling up to speed), high-energy tremolo-picked guitars that sound like a plague of mutant locusts, and serrated shrieking vocals. Those are the primary tools in the tool box. But what Aosoth does with those tools from song to song is unpredictable, and addictive as hell. (more after the jump, including a song to stream . . .)
In our more sentimental, naive moments, we like to think that if you lead a good life, good things will come your way. That's the first thing we thought last night when we saw the announcement of an incredible tour launching this fall. And then we realized that you could lead the most disgustingly vile life imaginable, and all it would take for you to see this tour would be to live within driving distance of 21 select cities. So, call it random chance if you want to be strictly logical. But since one of those select cities is Seattle, we like to think it's our reward for being so fucking good.
Feast your glazed, hooded eyes on this international line-up:
EX DEO (Italy)
PSYCROPTIC (Tasmania)
KEEP OF KALESSIN (Norway)
See what we mean? That's as strong a line-up from top to bottom as we've seen in many moons. It's metalhead luxury beyond the dreams of avarice. It's got to be a reward for something, doesn't it? So for all of you out there who've been good, congratulations. And for all of you who have been disgustingly vile, check out the the list of tour dates after the jump to see if random chance has allowed you to live within driving distance of one of the anointed cities.
It's really hard to say which of these bands we're most stoked to see, because they're all awesome, but Psycroptic is certainly in the running. Those devilish tech-death savants from Tasmania have put out one ass-kickingly brilliant album after another and recently released an awesome live CD/DVD combo called Initiation. So, in honor of this tour's announcement, we'll play you a song from that live album (also after the jump . . .)
We're suckers for eye-catching album art. We've found, more often than not, that when the album art is really cool, there's something worth hearing in the music, too. That's not based on a statistically valid survey, of course, and it doesn't make any logical sense. But in our own personal case, it seems to be true.
To test out that hypothesis, we hunted through news items on a recent 48-hour period at Blabbermouth to find eye-catching album art, and then we listened to music from the albums in question.
For example, check out that one above. Actually, if you're already on this page, you don't really have any alternative but to check it out. But it's pretty fucking cool, isn't it? It's the cover to a new album called Reptilian by Norway's Keep of Kalessin, which will be released n North America on June 8 via Nuclear Blast and in most of Europe on May 10 through Indie Recordings.
Based on the track listing (which you can see here), it appears that many of the songs will have something to do with, uh, dragons. So whaddaya know? In addition to being scary cool, the album cover actually has a thematic connection to the music. The band's guitarist Obsidian C. commented on the cover: "The music on Reptilian is more in your face and direct than before so we chose this cover and the title to emphasise that directness as well as focusing even more on the fantasy elemement in the band. This beast of an album is staring at you and it's going straight for your throat!"
Well, if we had a dollar for every band that used the "straight for your throat" line to describe its music, we could quit our day jobs and flog away on this blog full-time. The question is whether Obsidian C. is spouting mere puffery or whether the music really is as cool as the album cover. That's the point of this little experiment. What's the answer? (we'll give you our opinion, after the jump, plus another test case for our hypothesis about cool album art and cool music . . .)
Three months ago we stumbled across a young Greek guitar virtuoso named Gux Drax, and based on the evidence of a few instrumental songs that were then available from a forthcoming solo album, we wrote a short post saying how blown away we were by what we were hearing.
The complete album is now out, and we've had it on heavy rotation since it arrived from Greece. It's called In Search of Perfection, and as far as we're concerned Gus can ease up on the search — because it's nearly perfect.
We'll tell you about that album and why you definitely should track it down, we'll give you a song to stream from the album, and you can read our interview of Gux Drax — all that after the jump.
Insidious Disease is an international super-group. What does that mean? It means that the members come from bands that extreme metal geeks like us hold in high esteem, and they're spread among many countries. To be specific, the members of Insidious Disease are:
Marc "Groo" Grewe (ex-MORGOTH) – Vocals
Sven Atle Kopperud (a.k.a. Silenoz) (DIMMU BORGIR) – Guitar
Shane Embury (NAPALM DEATH, BRUJERIA, LOCK UP) – Bass
Tony Laureano (ex-DIMMU BORGIR, NILE, ANGELCORPSE) – Drums
Jon Øyvind Andersen (a.k.a. Jardar) (OLD MAN'S CHILD) – Guitar
Seriously — gaze upon those names, and be honest: You're interested, aren't you? We sure as hell were. And we weren't the only ones, because this band has just signed a worldwide deal with Century Media Records. They've recorded 12 songs for a debut CD to be called Shadowcast, and from what we've heard, it's going to be a fucking killer. (more after the jump, including a song . . .)
The next album from Germany's Heaven Shall Burn will be called Invictus. It's scheduled for release on different dates in May throughout Europe and on June 8 in North America. Yesterday the band put up the second track from Invictus on its MySpace page. It's called "Combat".
And if you thought the first song from the new album ("Omen") was good — which we sure as fuck did — then you really have to hear "Combat". It starts with a hammering riff and a howl, and takes off from there into a sonic war zone. It blends the fury of bombs exploding with feverish melodic riffs, Marcus Bischoff's distinctive shrieking, blackened keyboard pulses, and snatches of industrial dance-floor daze.
The song is heavy as fuck but galvanizing in its get-up-and-move compulsion. We thought "Omen" was outstanding (and said so here), but "Combat" is another step up. Based on these two samples, Invictus promises to be a landmark in the Heaven Shall Burn pantheon of discography. Seriously, go check it out here.
On the night of April 21, The Finnish Metal Tour 2010 played Seattle's El Corazon, and two of your NCS Co-Authors were there to bear witness and file this report — along with a big batch of our amateurish photos.
With the likes of Finntroll, Moonsorrow, and Swallow the Sun on the bill, we expected nothing less than excellence on stage, and that's what we got. Which brings to mind a question we've had before:
How does a country with only 5.4 million people produce so many awesome metal bands? We still don't know the answer. But whatever the explanation, here's hoping it doesn't stop. Judging by the reaction of the full house at El Corazon, we're not alone in feeling that way.
Before the procession of Finns took the stage, two local bands got the growing crowd nice and warmed up.
This five-piece Seattle band plays Gothenburg-flavored, melodic death metal, driven at a galloping pace by some flashy keyboard and guitar work. They've got some good song-writing chops, too. The songs were memorable, and we've been drawn to the band's MySpace page to listen again.
They're one of those rare bands whose lead vocalist is the guy behind the drum kit, and his evil, death-metal vocals make a nice contrast with the memorable melodies. We were told that the band has finished tracking a debut album, to follow an EP released last year. We definitely want to hear it. A strong start to the night! (our concert notes continue after the jump, plus lots of photos at the end . . .)
We got caught in a temporal vise. On one side was The Finnish Metal Tour 2010 at El Corazon in Seattle last night. Two of your NCS Co-Authors hit that up, and man, was it awesome! Finntroll (pictured above in one of our photos from last night), Moonsorrow, Swallow the Sun, and two very good local bands (7 Horns 7 Eyes and Blood and Thunder).
Those Finns don't do half-measures. They all played long and late. We're not complaining — but let's just say it was the wee hours of the morning before we hit the rack. That's one side of the temporal vise. And on the other side? The fucking day job. And the time in between the two just got squeezed down into a wafer-thin layer of almost nothingness. Certainly not enough time to finish messing with all the photos we took or to write our reactions to what we saw and heard.
So, to tide you over until tomorrow, when we can post our review and a batch of photos, we're doing this: After the jump, we'll post one photo from each of the Finnish band's sets last night plus one album track to stream of a song from each of those sets. So, you'll get songs from Swallow the Sun, Moonsorrow, and Finntroll to hear as you gaze at the photos — and imagine just how ridiculously good this concert was. (all that, after the jump . . .)

Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Guyana, Venezuela
Range Description
This species is known from Mount Roraima, in Bolívar State, eastern Venezuela, close to the border with Guayana Esequiba, at altitudes between 1,800 and 1,950m asl. It potentially has a wider range since it is found on the mountain slopes as well.
Habitat and Ecology
It occurs on rocks covered by mosses and on moist soils, in areas with very low light intensity and abundant decaying vegetation in humid lower montane forest. Its breeding habits are unknown, although it probably lays eggs on the forest floor and the adults then carry the larvae to streams where they develop further, as with other species of the genus.
The population status of this species is not known, although it is possibly rare.
Population Trend
Major Threats
The major threats to this species are avalanches and the disturbance of its habitat by tourists.
Conservation Actions
It is found within Parque Nacional Canaima, in which Mount Roraima is one of the protected tepuis.
Red List Status
Data Deficient (DD)

I personally think 3 fawns are cuter that 2 lol Flouncy is soooo like her dad! Adorable when it came to their characteristics!
I wish Disney would make a movie of "Bambi's Childeren"! Their designs in the comic were adorable and I love how you portrayed Geno and Gurri :3 They act perfectly lol Thanks for writing this story and I sincerley hope you make more chapters! :D

Hey LuLu, it's the Guest again. Remember that Bambi Story Two Hearts, One Mind? You commented on it, if you don't remember. I had commented on it too and maybe you would want to check it out. "Why you Bambi-Crazy and very Loco Guest?!" You might ask? Well, I typed up some plots on the review and maybe they will inspire you.

Hi, I am the guest! At chapter three I thought the Bambi you were talking about was Bambi, prince of the forest, but it was Bambi Jr. the stunk! Heh heh heh, I got it at the end. So far it's pretty good and MYSTERIOUS. Oh la la...
Sorry I didn't review earlier, Bambi stories were not being made a lot so I stopped checking every day. YOU ARE AWESOME.

This was a really good start to the story I wonder why Bambis father did not want him to go back to the thicket

A very very nice beginning. Aren't the last words Prince says from the book? I know he says something like that, but since I've only read the German version, I don't know for sure.
But I really like it, I love the twist with the other fawn (named after Faline's twin, I suppose XD) and am looking forward to read more.

Collaboration and Productivity Continue to Drive Unified Communications Investments
Trends and driving forces behind IT investments and how Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) systems are deployed within an enterprise infrastructure have been revealed in a new IDG report, A Look at the CIO and UC&C.
UC&C, which is simply another acronym for Unified Communications (UC), will continue to grow substantially in the coming years. An estimated 56 percent of large businesses and 66 percent of smaller business plan to implement or upgrade UC&C solutions within the next year.
So what are the primary drivers for UC&C investments? Collaboration (43 percent), productivity (44 percent) and flexibility (36 percent) top the list. The fact is, companies are investing in productivity more than ever before: 12 percent of respondents said that their overall investments towards supporting UC&C initiatives will rise in the next 12 months.
As for how organizations plan on deploying UC&C internally, the trends are clear: web, audio, and video-conferencing services topped the list with a whopping 49 percent of respondents aiming to push their investments towards these media initiatives. Next, IP telephony (IPT) rang in at a close second with 49 percent of respondents identifying IPT as a top priority. Third place was split at 45 percent, between collaborative applications -- such as file sharing -- and unified messaging (i.e. email, fax, voicemail).
Cloud technology has gained considerable traction simply because of its proven capacity to enhance and streamline automation, orchestration, provisioning, and deployment. So it is not surprising that 70 percent of organizations aim to integrate cloud technology in their UC plans.
Low total cost of ownership (45 percent) was among the most important vendor attributes when evaluating UC&C vendors. Given the evolution of this increasingly user-friendly technology, leveraging results through UC&C is a viable reality.

I think they got their numbers wrong.
Given to current state of the Internet I do not believe that the numbers stated are actually correct. I think that they are looking for an excuse to implement the Internet kill switch.

Probably phoney statistics cooked up by the Fox propaganda department in the CIA. Poor yanks are always getting brainwashed by stupid TV.

I don't know about you, but I am always looking for quick ways to spice up my dinner table when I'm entertaining. Being on a budget, I don't like to go out and spend a ton of money for something I may never use again. So one way that I've found to decorate that is very effective yet completely affordable is with flowers from the supermarket with an added twist. If you have a farmer's market near you, that would be an even more affordable place to shop for flowers. You're probably asking yourself, "What's so special about decorating with flowers?" The trick to this technique is to use another item like fresh produce that either matches or contrasts beautifully with the flowers you have chosen to use.
In this tutorial, I chose to use some pretty yellow flowers I found at Ralphs.
The items I chose to spice up the overall look this time were baby lemons. They are bright and sunny and complement the flowers really well. If you can't find baby lemons, then you could even cut regular lemons in half or buy some little yellow squash in an interesting shape.
Pick a vase that you have already but make sure that it's clear so everybody can see the fun items you've added. If you have a crystal vase stashed away somewhere that you received from your wedding, or something that's been passed down in your family, by all means use it! You don't have to wait for a fancy occasion to use these nice pieces. Using them for a casual get together livens up your table in a fun and cost effective way.
Make sure you strip the leaves off of the bottom of the flowers so they don't rot in the water and to make your decorative centerpiece look clean and professionally done.
Add water to the vase and then place the fruit in the vase. It took a little squeezing to get the lemons into this vase. I would probably use a slightly larger vase the next time. Add the flowers, and voila! You have a finished product that everyone will think you bought from a florist.

Homeopathic Studies – a resource
18th October 2007 by Arrow Durfee Posted in Uncategorized
Many people ask for studies in homeopathy. It is difficult to do due to the nature of the application of the remedies. Here is a site where some of the challenges of creating studies in the use of homeopathy have been addressed. These studies demonstrate that homeopathy can work, but perhaps not always. I was surprised that they didn't have much success on some of the conditons that they tried to treat such as hemorrhoids and warts. I have been able to cure many of these cases with common homeopathic remedies. Most commonly, the success of homeopathy is based in the skill of the homeopath and the ability of the client to observe and report the symptoms ………………..Rett

Brain microchip helps paralysed man move hand
New York: For a man who lost the use of his limbs at 19, the offer to participate in an arduous medical trial promised more suffering than reward.
But Ian Burkhart had hours of painful brain surgery and gave up months of his life just for the chance to move his hand.
"My immediate response was, 'I want to do this,' " he said. "If someone else was in my place, with the possibility of changing my life and people like me in future, I would hope they would agree."
Now 23, Mr Burkhart was able to make a fist, open his hand out fully and even pick up a spoon in a groundbreaking test last week.
While most people would consider Mr Burkhart unfortunate, he feels he is lucky – to have been old enough to have "experienced a lot of things" before he was paralysed in a diving accident and to be young and strong enough for the experiment.
Mr Burkhart, who is paralysed from the chest down and cannot use his arms past his elbows, was an obvious candidate for Ohio State University Hospital neuroscientist Jerry Mysiw and researcher Chad Bouton, who were collaborating on a "neurobridge technology" project.
The brain microchip experiment is designed to allow quadriplegics to move through the power of thought.
When the chip is connected to a computer, the signals are translated into messages sent to a sleeve loaded with electrodes around Mr Burkhart's arm.
These in turn stimulate his muscles, allowing him to move his hands simply by thinking hard about it.
Mr Burkhart said of his operation: "They told me they didn't need me to answer right now but go home and talk with your family and think about it.
"Having brain surgery you don't really need, with all the risks that brings – I definitely was more calm and collected about it than my family."
When he first suffered his injury Mr Burkhart was given little hope of major improvement in his condition.
He had the brain surgery in April. He spent weeks focusing on moving his hand, to allow the scientists to build up patterns – algorithms – of which neurons his brain was using.
Eventually he was able to move an animated hand on a computer screen with ease.
Last Wednesday, the experiment began. After focusing for just a few seconds, he moved his own hand. He described the sensation as extraordinary.
"The emotion of moving my hand again for the first time in four years was amazing. I was very excited. This was something real – it actually did work and could one day soon become commonplace for people like me."
The doctors and Mr Burkhart considered the trial would be a success if he moved his finger. By clasping and unclasping his hand and picking up the spoon, they knew they had brought hope to millions of people paralysed by strokes, accidents or illness around the world.
Mr Burkhart said: "To me, being able to move my fingers would make a huge difference to my daily life. I have no sensation below my elbow so I can't do things that people take for granted, like eating by myself or brushing my teeth. In terms of independence, this would change my life."
