3 stars (out of 4)
After a decade of anonymity, French quartet Phoenix finally broke through in 2009 with "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix," an album loaded with effervescent electro-pop such as "Lisztomania" and "1901." On the follow-up, "Bankrupt!" (V2), there's nothing quite as undeniable as those singles – though "S.O.S. in Bel Air" comes close with its punchy drums, bouyant synthesizers and soaring Thomas Mars' vocals.
Though the instant hits are lacking, "Bankrupt!" is more cohesive than its best-selling predecessor. Many of the songs reflect on themes explored by Mars' wife, director Sofia Coppola, in her 2010 movie "Somewhere," for which Phoenix wrote the soundtrack. The movie explores the emotionally empty life of a wealthy young actor who indulges in and is trapped by Hollywood luxury. Mars has never been particularly transparent as a lyricist, preferring to insinuate and imply rather than spell things out. But there's no missing the subtext in many of these songs as he drops references to the "fake rituals" and desperate cool of a self-styled cultural elite with too much time and money on its hands.
Little wonder that Phoenix's music revels in decadent splendor. A string of uptempo songs opens the album. "Trying to be Cool" flirts with a slinky R&B vibe atop a rubbery bass line and handclaps. Then the nearly seven-minute title track douses the party vibe in chilled-out ambience before shifting into a more frantic and disturbing tone. Keyboards -- and lots of them -- dominate instead of guitars, and they're layer-cake rich in texture, especially on the slower, dreamier second half of the album. "Darling, you never know when you're ... kind of done," Mars declares on the deceptively dreamy "Bourgeois," even as a "sha-la-la" wordless vocal hook suggests the party will go on anyway.

Large Capacity Sorter Helps Potato Processors Automate Frozen Product Inspection
Key Technology introduces Manta for frozen potato products. Featuring Vis/IR (visible infrared) cameras and Raptor laser technology along with new, proprietary high intensity LED lighting, high flow ejector valves, and three-way ejection capability, this large capacity sorter, located immediately prior to packaging, assures final product is free of foreign material (FM) and objectionable process-generated material. With this new application, potato processors can now automate inspection of frozen product at the end of the production line to improve food safety and product quality while reducing labor costs.
Historically, potato processors have relied on automated sorters to remove foreign material and defects from wet product after the cutter, upstream of the fryer and freezer. While these sorters are highly effective in helping to make grade, they leave a processor vulnerable to quality problems that may arise downstream. Potato processors have traditionally relied on costly, inconsistent, and unsanitary hand sorting to inspect frozen product at the end of the production line. Now, with Manta for frozen potato strips, processors can automate this end-of-line inspection.
Locating Manta at the end of the potato processing line helps assure the safety and quality of final product while simultaneously achieving additional benefits associated with improved process control and length control.
Connecting Manta with a plant-wide network and using the data collected to control the sorter as well as upstream processes extends the value of the sorter by increasing yields, cutting costs, and controlling quality in ways that have, until recently, been unattainable. By monitoring product size, shape, and color, Manta can tally specific product characteristics and trigger an alarm or process adjustment if out-of-tolerance conditions are detected or anticipated.

the woman Priest garbage and all the other "things" that are part of the Episcopal Church these days.
Women Priest are going to happen in the Orthodox Church. It's just a matter of time and generations passing.I wouldn't use it as a line in the sand for anything.
Doubt it, but my question for the conservative Anglicans has been that many in there church have been denying the Resurrection, and yet remaining "priests," (and then there is "bishop" Spong), but they swallowed that. Women priests are the breaking point?

Why do you say this, ozgeorge? I was under the impression that is is something we stand firmly against as Orthodox Christians!
Never say never....http://www.ocl.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=AboutUs.ReflectionsRecommendations&CFID=114051198&CFTOKEN=15407403
It gives a sense of legitimacy and changelessness to the Church.
They are still cordial and they (the anglicans) are still NOT Orthodox. Never were,never will.
As opposed to what?
So back in the day particularly during the Oxford movement relations between Orthodoxy and Anglicanism were fairly cordial. What is the state of the relations today since Anglicanism has embraced the woman Priest garbage and all the other "things" that are part of the Episcopal Church these days.
I could certainly see the ordination of women being accepted by certain local churches under the guidance of another Meletios-type figure, for whom schism was a price worth paying for progressiveness.
One can also look at the Roman Catholic Church, whose reforms have at times been more radical than some Protestant groups, and who are pressured by reformers like no other, yet have managed to retain a male priesthood.
^ But if we accept women, we should be okay. Right?
Perhaps you'd prefer he re-word the post but express the same thing? By not defining "things" I thought him polite actually.
I'm sure you don't mean this to sound so disrespectful to our Anglican forum members.
Is womens "ordination" being discussed by the Orthodox Church? Maybe I should rethink my conversion to "Orthodoxy".
I don't know much about the big picture, but I can say that OCF at my university meets at the Episcopal parish that I attend. It's going well so far.
That was my intent. My Priest a Greek Orthodox before he retired called the Episcopal Church in the US a "gnostic sect with women dressing up and playing Priest."
What I refered to by "things" was the fact that you don't need to believe in the bodily resurection or the virgin birth or any of the ancient creeds to be considered a good episcopalian.
Sigh. Well, that's kind of sweeping, and doesn't cover the whole spectrum of Episcopalians or Anglicans.I apologize for posting my last before I'd read the whole thread. Can you tell us where you got this impression please? The stories that end up in the papers and on the 'Net aren't the whole picture. Also, I think in the thread from a while back on Anglicans, there is some discussion that might be considered. Ebor

Well mostly I get this impression by what I see. All one has to do is open up a newspaper that has a religion section and you'll see what the latest crisis in the Episcopal Church is.
A couple weeks ago I read an interview with "Bishop" Gene Robinson talking about how he is so happy to be a June Bride(if that isn't garbage I don't know what is) and this man is a Bishop of the Episcopal Church.
Then you have diocese's splitting off and court cases regarding who owns Church property
meanwhile at Christmas last year the ArchBishop of Cantebury said that the 3 wise men story may just be myth.
We have an Episcopal Church in my town and their Rector writes in the religion section about all sorts of kooky left wing things. Two weeks back he wrote a column questioning the existance of not only Hell but God also.
If that's not enough two words:SpongJefferts-SchoriI am not saying this to sound rude but out of sadness. I have been to a few episcopal churches and once one can get past the strange stuff they have a very beautiful liturgy.

fix random bugs in eclass documentation, and convert to new @AUTHOR tag
Update SRC_URI to use new mono mirror as novell no longer supporting project.
Gluezilla is no longer bumped upstream in sync with other go-mono packages, so move dependency to ebuild. Bug 341779. Thanks to '404 Error' for reporting.
Update go-mono.eclass to use git (bug #339230), thanks to Alistair Bush for the fix.
Update base function calls to comply with currently in-review eclass.
Add variable GO_MONO_SUB_BRANCH so we can change to MAIN-MINOR-MICRO branches when those are branched off.
Eclass updated to support SVN ebuilds, plus nitpicks.
Gluezilla is no longer a runtime dependency of mono, so to maintain the binding to a certain mono version, we have to make it the other way around.
Mono-2.4_pre1 is upon us. Update to reflect.
Add exception for findutils dependency for BSDs since they bring their own.
Add dependency on >=sys-apps/findutils-4.4.0 w.r.t. bug 255621.
