when i try to start the virtual box i receive an error message
RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)
The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.
what i have to do?? i'm using lucid puppy
someone could help me please? ;(
That's most likely because the VirtualBox packages in this thread are built for Puppy 431 and its kernel version 184.108.40.206. Lucid Puppy (500 or 501) uses a newer kernel, so it can't use these particular packages.
I'll look around a bit, and see if there's already a package for Lucid Puppy or not, and then I'll edit this post accordingly.
EDIT: Well, I can't find a package for Lupu, but if you want there is one for Lighthouse Pup 500. It has the same kernel version as Lupu, but is an Spup (I think), so I don't know if the package would work with Lupu, but it definitely works with LightousePup (as intended). Just something to consider.
There was mention in one of the main Lupu threads that a VBox package might be developed. I've no idea when that'll happen, though.
Otherwise, Oracle distributes a *.run installer for VBox that you can try out. It's
over here

You will need the correct devx and kernel sources for your puppy version.
For lupu there is no kernel sources at this point.
There is a "wary kernel sources" for the same kernel but there is a disparity in the gcc version that it was compiled on and it doesn't work with VBox in lupu.
So if you would like to run VBox then you will need to choose another puppy version.
Download the latest .run version from VBox
Load devx
Load kernel souces for your kernel
to find kernel version, in terminal [ uname -r ]
SDL pet
QT pet
in terminal [ adduser -D -H vboxusers ]
run the VBox.run.
That should do it.
Good luck

No, there is a kernel source SFS for Lucid Puppy. It's
right here

QT pet
in terminal [ adduser -D -H vboxusers ]
run the VBox.run.

Point is, the packages in this thread still won't work, as they were made on and for Puppy 430 and 431 with kernel 22.214.171.124.

That was the one I was referring to.
The VBox install log is helpful.
Go vanilla and get it working might be a good approach. Then go back and have another go on lupu.

You can use slaxer_pup which is a very solid base to build on.
Everything you need for VBox is at that site.(except the latest VBox.run)
The devx and the kernel sources can be installed directly.
Any problems Big_Bass is very helpful.
Also you can use the 'slackware' package repositories.

Hi everybody,
VirtualBox 3.2.6 seems to work with Luci
Tested with luci-212 (till now only up to the Welcome screen of VBox).
Downloaded luci_devx_212.sfs, the kernel source (181MB) which 01micko provided
(puppy, linux) and VirtualBox-3.2.6-63112-Linux_x86.run from
(all distributions, 386).
Installed the first 2 in Boot Manager.
Then :
adduser -D -H vboxusers
From the dir where the file is:
That's all
Starting from a terminal with:
Hope this helps
Edit: 01Micko provided new kernel source with only 84MB, look
Ich verwende "frugal", und das ist gut so.
Raspberry Pi without Puppy? No, thanks.

I installed luci-212 and VirtualBox on a usb stick. Seems to work but installing XP stops because xp expects to be installed on a hd drive
Has anybody a idea how to tell xp that my usb stick is a hard drive?
Or maybe a virtual harddrive in a virtual box (sounds good to me
Every hint appreciated.

Post subject: Virtualbox Problem
Subject description: Can anyone see where I have made a mistake
I would like to ask for some advice as i have tried a few times to get my Virtualbox to actually work.
First of all I need to explain that I am quite new to Puppy and perhaps have missed something quite obvious for that I will apologise in advance.
The Puppy file versions are as follows
and finally
and now the problem, once I install and then click on the Menu Item, Virtualbox starts up and when I trz to run a virtual Machine I get the error
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Puppy XP.
The virtual machine 'Puppy XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.
A more detailed error is
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
*I have seen this error in a previous post in this forum but did not see a solution.
When I do as the prompt suggests which is to
# sh vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module ...done.
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module ...failed!
When I look to the LOG I see the following
vboxdrv: line 302: /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv/build_in_tmp: No such file or directory
I looked and could not find an
directory where it should be.
Phew, long text, but can anyone see where I am going very wrong?
Also> if I try to install a .run file example
Puppy then complains
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation.........
VirtualBox Version 3.2.8 r64453 (2010-08-05T11:57:18Z) installer
Please install GNU make.
Please install the GNU compiler.
Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.
Press Return to close this window...
Is that Normal?
Kind Regards Atrum

The Puppy file versions are as follows
From the devx and kernel source packages I assume you're running Puppy 431? Please correct me if I am mistaken.
and finally Virtualbox-3.2.8-k2.6.332-q1.pet
This VirtualBox package is made for the wrong kernel, assuming you are in fact running Puppy 431.
431 uses kernel version 18.104.22.168- you can see that in the name of the kernel source SFS you listed above- but this VirtualBox package requires kernel 188.8.131.52- that can also be seen in the package name, with the string of number following a lower-case "k".
There are packages listed earlier in the thread for Puppy 431, for its kernel version, which you can use.
Alternatively, to use the specific VBox package named above, you'll need to use one of the newer Puppy versions. I'm guessing, but the -q1 near the end of the package name probably means it's made for Quirky or a puplet based on Quirky. If memory serves, gray (the OP and packager of many VBox PETs) made just such a puplet, and probably even the VBox package in question, if you want to try that. Search the forums if it interests you.

Post subject: Virtualbox Problem revealed
Hi Asterisk
Thank you kindly for the reply. Your assumption is correct I am using 431.
I did not recognise the the numbers at the end of the Vbox file, but now that you have explained them it seems pretty obvious. Thank you again for the time you spent writting the reply. I will now search for the correct Puppy for that particular package.

No problem.

Like I said, I think that would be Quirky. If you go to puppylinux.com, and follow the download links, you can get its ISO CD image.
If you want, though, there's yet another version of Puppy you can use: 511, the latest Lucid Puppy. Over in
this thread
, another user (vanchutr) was kind enough to post links to a binary and install script for VBox version 3.2.4. It worked in my installation of Lucid 511, so I made it into a PET and have uploaded it.
For details and a download link, head over to
the thread I mentioned above
, if you want.

Is there another location for the .pet files? I cannot get beyond
http://www.puppylinux.asia/ and into the /tpp/* directories.
I am using SeaMonkey from Puppy 4.3.1
I am not challenged for a login and password when I try to open the direct link. Am I doing this wrong?

I just came across a slew of new (to me) submissive male/dominant woman blogs, and some of the writing there just blows me away. It's so raw and real and intense, and having just had a pretty intensely kinky week myself (more on that later), I am grateful when I see others talking about their kinks and what it means to them. This may be my bias or misperception, but sometimes I feel like kink is often so showy; it's about impressing someone, whether it's your top or the people in your local scene, or the internet, with how much you can take, or what you look like doing it. And in my opinion, yes, sometimes showing off or being somehow public with your kinkiness can be part of the fetish, but I'm much more interested in the inner transformations people go through, in what they think they're capable of and what they actually are. I think this blogger, Under the Boot, expresses that push/pull so well – the desire for pain, and the acknowledgement that yes, it's actually painful. That in the moment, we may long for it to stop, but we really don't want it to.
Me, I've been on both sides of that, and of late have discovered my capacity for cruelty. Well, within a BDSM context. I'm discovering that when I'm with a submissive partner, as I was recently, I want to inflict pain on him, but not just for his sake. There is something so carnal and powerful and exciting, not to mention arousing, about taking someone to that place, about getting off on their pain and squeals, about making them, literally, submit to your will. And I actually believe that both players, or sides, in BDSM, have much in common in terms of the transformative aspects of kink. I went to a wonderful exhibit while I was in London called Seduced at the Barbican and came across this quote from Paul Schmidt about Mapplethorpe's work:
"We drag ourselves through darkness and hope to come out into light, no longer the same, but OTHER."
I thought it was quite, quite apt.
From the blog Under the Boot:
I want to be hurt. More than that, I want to be taken to my limits. Hell, I want to find those limits and watch — no, feel — her dance past them a bit. Show me I'm stronger than I think. I want her to hit me and hit me and get me to the point where I want to use the safeword.
I'm simultaneously aroused and ashamed to say I want her to bring tears to my eyes.
I want to be clamped and struck and slapped and have my hair pulled and I want her to hit my cock with a riding crop and bite me. I want her to scratch her name into my back. Over and over again. I want marks and stripes and I'm okay with blood.
She…the last time I was up there, she took these big clips and clamped them on my nipples. And then she started trying to whip them off with the crop and then the flogger. The problem is, I suspect that trick works better with clothespins. So she sat there for five minutes, hitting and hitting and hitting and those fucking clamps never budged, and it hurt, so fucking much, worse than anything she's ever done to me. I didn't tell her how bad it hurt because I loved it. I didn't want her to hold back in the future. My nipples were so sore the rest of the weekend, and so every time she twisted them or bit them or hit them, it fucking hurt so much worse than normal, because of this one session.
But I loved it. I loved it so much, I can't even express how it felt to have her standing over me with that flogger and just swinging and for my chest to feel like one big glowing sun of pain. I could see her face, normally when she strikes me, when I'm on my hands and knees or on my belly, I can't see her, and I could watch her as she did it, and she looked so peaceful and angry and thoughtful at the same time.

Irving J. Gill: New Architecture for a Great Country
San Diego History Center San Diego, California
Architect Irving J. Gill was a San Diego architect, by way of Chicago, who relished the opportunity to work in this city during the end of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He saw San Diego as a blank slate with great potential. Inspired by the coast and canyons, sunlight and shadows, Gill created a new design language, what we now call modern architecture. His simple, block-like designs offered simplicity, clean lines, and efficiency at a time when faux-Victorian and Spanish Colonial architecture were mainstream. Once sought after by many of San Diego elites like, Ellen Browning Scripps and Melville Klauber, his legacy was largely overlooked after his death. San Diegans today may not know the name Irving Gill, but they are, perhaps unknowingly, aware of his influential and livable architecture. From the home of Ellen Browning Scripps (today's Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla), to the Bishop's School in La Jolla, to the Sacred Heart Church in Coronado, the Marston House in Balboa Park, the Americanization School in Oceanside, and the Barona Indian Reservation in Lakeside. Gill's designs made a lasting mark on San Diego County and the influence architects and their clients to this day. Visit the History Center's exhibition Irving J. Gill: New Architecture for a Great Country to learn more about this fascinating and sometimes misunderstood individual who helped create in a new style of architecture revered throughout the world, but one that originated right here in San Diego.

Liberty News
High attendance is mark of a booming season
The growing support for Liberty University's men's basketball team was clearly illustrated last Saturday by an abundance of fans. Nearly 7,400 Flames fans packed the Vines Center during Liberty's double overtime nail-biter against Radford University, giving LU its largest crowd since Feb. 10, 2005.
Impressed by the overwhelming attendance, Liberty University Director of Athletics Jeff Barber said the turnout is an excellent indicator of things to come.
"Coach McKay is building a great program here, and people are responding to that," he noted. "It's what we've been shooting for and what we're looking forward to in all of our sports."
After defending the home court against High Point University on Tuesday, the youthful Flames look to avenge an early season loss when they host Big South rival UNC-Asheville to conclude a three-game home stretch. Last season, the Bulldogs entered the Vines Center as a conference favorite but were upset 83-54 by a determined and fearless Flames squad. Barber hopes this Saturday's 7 p.m. contest will be just as thrilling as last year's meeting and will mirror recent attendance numbers.
"It was a good win (Tuesday) night in the continuing excitement building around this program," Barber said. "We expect to have another big turnout like at the Radford game."
Tickets can be purchased at the Flames Ticket Office, online at libertyflames.com or at the gate prior to tipoff. Fans may also redeem a discount coupon at one of 32 Apple Market convenience stores in Central Virginia. For more information, visit libertyflames.com or call (434) 582-SEAT.

The festival of lights i.e. Diwali is approaching soon and you must be busy searching for gifts, decoration items and other home makeover things. But, with the pollution at a danger mark, you might be thinking of how to celebrate an eco-friendly Diwali. So, in this blog post we let you know the tips to celebrate the festival of light in an environment-friendly manner. Simply scroll down the page to find out smart ways to celebrate a pollution-free Diwali.
Say No to Pollution; Hello to Green Diwali!
The celebrations are here, Diwali is here! The preparations for Diwali celebrations start way before the actual day. The home is all decorated, sweets are prepared, gifts are bought and the entire aura is full of celebratory enthusiasm. Crackers and diyas are the essence of this festival. But it is of late that we have realized how harmful crackers are for the environment. To make Diwali celebrations more eco-friendly, the concept of Green Diwali is in focus nowadays.
Amidst all the joys, we should not forget about Mother nature. A little awareness can make a huge difference. Here are a few tips to help you celebrate a Green Diwali, this year.
Choose Earthen Lamps- The home decor for Diwali is all about lighting it up. Traditionally, diyas were used for decorations but with time people started opting for colorful lights and chinese strings. These definitely consume more power. Hence, you should go for the traditional and ethnic earthen lamps and diyas. These do not cause pollution and will give your home a different look. You can use decorated diyas and set them in alluring patterns in and around your house. [Read more…]

Tapping Ritual Invites Students to Join Academic Honor Society
Sep. 24, 2012
When Lye-Yeng Wong's name was called out in biochemistry class Tuesday as a candidate for a highly selective academic honor society, she was excited to be recognized before her peers.
Provost Hobson Wildenthal and Dr. Denise Paquette Boots congratulate student John Hamati on his invitation to join Phi Kappa Phi.
Wong was among 572 juniors and seniors at UT Dallas who were invited last week to join Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest, largest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. Her invitation came through a tradition known as "tapping."
Just a few minutes into the class, Executive Vice President and Provost Hobson Wildenthal and Dr. Denise Paquette Boots, both Phi Kappa Phi members, showed up in full academic regalia. They visited the classroom to invite, or "tap," some of the juniors selected for membership; other students were tracked down via email.
Wong's classmates applauded as 14 honor society candidates were called to the front of the room in Hoblitzelle Hall.
"It was nice to be rewarded for all our hard work in front of our peers," said Wong, a junior neuroscience major and a McDermott Scholar. "I really appreciated that the faculty took time out of their day to do this."
Neuroscience junior Lye-Yeng Wong was one of 572 students invited last week to join Phi Kappa Phi.
Having a Phi Kappa Phi chapter is part of UT Dallas' effort to highlight academic achievement and continue its drive toward becoming a Tier One research university. Membership is invitation only.
The UT Dallas chapter has more than 300 active members, with 41 faculty and staff, 221 students, 56 alumni and two honorary lifetime members inducted since March 2011.
This week the honor society extended invitations to 141 juniors and 431 seniors. Those who decide to join will be honored at a reception in November. Graduate students will be invited during the spring term.
The honor society is open to upperclassmen and graduate students who meet a set of eligibility requirements. Graduate students must be nominated by their program chairs for academic excellence, have completed at least 18 graded graduate credit hours at UT Dallas, and have a minimum of a 3.8 cumulative GPA. Undergraduates must have completed a minimum of 72 hours of coursework with 24 of those hours being completed at UT Dallas.
The UT Dallas chapter chose the top 7.5 percent of juniors and the top 10 percent of seniors across each school.
Phi Kappa Phi membership benefits include eligibility to apply for more than $800,000 in scholarships from the national organization, mentoring and career assistance. In addition, the local chapter offers grants to support academics and professionalization that are available to all members.
Boots, who is the University's founding president of Phi Kappa Phi, said the tapping tradition is a time-honored way to give top students public recognition.
"It's a really rich tradition in celebrating academic excellence. We've had students cry. We've had some faculty cry. It's a wonderful way to honor our students who have sacrificed so much."
Dr. Denise Boots,
the University's founding president of Phi Kappa Phi
"It's a really rich tradition in celebrating academic excellence," Boots said. "We've had students cry. We've had some faculty cry. It's a wonderful way to honor our students who have sacrificed so much."
In 2011, when the University became the 316th chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, faculty marked it by tapping every qualified junior in person.
"Last year's inaugural tapping ceremonies generated great enthusiasm from all who participated," Wildenthal said. "We are happy now to be perpetuating this ceremonial recognition of the respect and admiration we have for our outstanding students."
Because of logistical constraints—it took four days and more than 90 classroom visits to track down students last year—faculty decided this time to target just a few classes with large numbers of students on the list of candidates.
Boots, who is an associate professor of criminology in the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences, said the honor society is starting to build a community of scholars on campus.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is publishing new guidelines for the production, regulation and control of snake antivenoms and a website with details on where the venomous snakes are located, what they look like, which antivenoms are appropriate, and where they can be obtained.
"Many countries have no access to the antivenoms they need. Others use antivenoms that have never been tested against their target snake venoms. So often when people get bitten, they can't get the treatment they need," says Carissa Etienne, WHO Assistant Director-General. "These new tools will help bring this to an end."
Online database of snake anitvenoms
Global situation
An estimated five million people are bitten each year resulting in up to 2.5 million envenomings, at least 100 000 deaths and around three times as many amputations and other permanent disabilities each year. Bites by venomous snakes can cause paralysis that may prevent breathing, bleeding disorders that can lead to fatal haemorrhage, irreversible kidney failure and severe tissue damage that can cause permanent disability and may result in limb amputation.
Victims are mostly women, children and farmers living in poor rural communities, where health systems are not well equipped and medical resources are sparse.
Today, countries face a critical global shortage of appropriate, safe and effective snake antivenoms. A combination of factors has led to the present situation: poor data on the number and type of snake bites, difficulty to estimate the needs and define markets- combined with deficient distribution policies- have contributed to manufacturers stopping production or increasing prices of antivenoms. Poor regulation and marketing of inappropriate antivenoms, has led to a loss of confidence in the available antivenoms by clinicians, public health officials and patients.
The solution
Effective and safe antivenoms requires international collaboration. WHO urges regulators, producers, researchers, clinicians, national and regional health authorities, international organizations and community organizations to work together to improve the availability of reliable epidemiological data on snake bites, the regulatory control of antivenoms and their distribution policies.
The information in the guidelines will assist:
- public health officials in determining what antivenoms are needed in their country and in drafting relevant national public health policies;
- national medicines regulators in prioritizing antivenoms for registration and assessing safety, quality and efficacy of antivenoms to meet national public health needs;
- procurement agencies in selecting appropriate antivenoms for national treatment needs;
- antivenom manufacturers in developing plans for production and sale of appropriate antivenoms;
- clinicians and health care professionals in treating snake bites;
- general population in knowing and being able to identify which venomous snakes live in their area.
The guidelines provide details for the production, regulation and control of snake antivenoms while the online database identifies venomous snake species for which availability of appropriate antivenoms should be prioritized.

Rescuers battled through landslides and clogged roads in a bid to reach victims of twin earthquakes in northwest China Monday which killed 89 people, injured almost 600 and damaged more than 20,000 buildings.
The tremors in Gansu province -- with magnitudes of 5.9 and 5.6 -- triggered landslides which buried often crudely constructed local houses, government-run broadcaster CCTV reported.
Pictures from the scene showed simple buildings reduced to rubble, with pieces of corrugated metal roofing scattered over the wreckage.
The government of Dingxi city in Gansu said on a social media account that 14 people remained missing.
Almost all the confirmed dead were in Min county, where a medicine factory employee told AFP he saw tower blocks shake "ferociously" when the quake struck.
"I was in the workshop. I felt violent shaking and so I ran to the yard of the plant immediately," said the man, surnamed Ma.
"Our factory is only one floor. When I came to the yard, I saw an 18-storey building, the tallest in our county, shaking ferociously, especially the 18th floor."
An official at the provincial earthquake bureau said more than 1,200 buildings collapsed and 21,000 were severely damaged, adding that 371 aftershocks had been recorded.
Zhu Wenqing, a 40-year-old farmer in Min county, told Xinhua news agency he had just got up when his house started shaking.
"I escaped immediately on hearing a 'bang' and feeling the tremor," he said, adding that his house collapsed after several aftershocks.
Nearly 3,000 firefighters, police, soldiers and local government workers had been sent to the area, Xinhua said, but rescue efforts were being hampered by landslides and roads which had been blocked by heavy rain in previous days.
President Xi Jinping ordered an "all-out rescue effort", Xinhua said.
"We are rushing to the scene," Dingxi's vice-mayor told CCTV, which showed an orange-suited rescue worker riding on a tractor.
A red rainstorm alert was issued for the area, which could further obstruct rescue attempts in the mountainous region.
"The damage to houses made from earth bricks has been severe and many are now unusable," the vice-mayor added.
In one location 12 people were buried, the broadcaster quoted a witness as saying. "The rescue work is tough, because the house has been completely buried," the man said.
The civil affairs ministry has allocated 10,000 tents, 30,000 cotton quilts, 5,000 folding beds and 10,000 sleeping bags to Gansu, while the provincial government has set aside 5 million yuan ($830,000) for relief efforts, Xinhua said.
The US Geological Survey said the initial 5.9-magnitude quake hit at 7:45 am (2345 GMT Sunday) at a depth of just 9.8 kilometres.
A second 5.6-magnitude tremor hit the same region at 9:12 am and was 10.1 kilometres deep, USGS said.
While Gansu is one of China's more sparsely populated provinces, Dingxi city, which includes Min and other affected counties, has a population of about 2.7 million.
The quake was felt in the provincial capital Lanzhou and as far away as Xian, the capital of the neighbouring province of Shaanxi, Xinhua reported.
People posting on China's hugely popular microblogs expressed sympathy for the victims. "I hope the dead will rest in peace," read one typical remark.
Beijing's own China Earthquake Networks Centre put the magnitude of the larger quake at 6.6.
The China Earthquake Administration said the same fault zone was linked to a magnitude 8.0 quake on July 21, 1654, it reported.
The USGS rated Monday's main tremor at seven on its "shakemap", with shaking perceived to be "very strong".
Much of western China is prone to earthquakes.
A magnitude 6.6 earthquake in neighbouring Sichuan province killed about 200 people earlier this year, five years after almost 90,000 people were killed by a huge tremor in the same province.

Soccer star Landon Donovan played a full game while sick with swine flu and didn't even know it.
The Los Angeles Galaxy forward told the Los Angeles Times he felt congested on Sunday in Miami but shrugged it off. Then on Wednesday, he felt tired in a game against Mexico City but "assumed it was the altitude." He played the full 90 minutes anyway, though it was obvious he was moving slower than usual on the field. Galaxy lost.
The next day he awoke with a 100.7 degree fever and went to the doctor. That's when he learned he had joined the ranks of an estimated one million Americans who have contracted the H1N1 virus. "Now it's turned a little worse," he told the Times. "Now it's a full-blown flu. All afternoon I've just had really bad chills and a bad fever and a lot of congestion." He said he doubted he would play again on Saturday.
Galaxy coach and general manager Bruce Arena told the Times his star player likely contracted the virus from two Galaxy staff members last weekend.

"Erika Switzer is one of the best collaborative pianists I have ever heard; her sound is deep, her interpretation intelligent, refined, and captivating." - Le Monde
"... precise and lucid" - New York Times
" Switzer is an extremely expressive pianist with a face that emotes just as often and as effectively as the vocalists. I was sitting there this evening thinking that she is the epitome of the term "collaborative pianist". She contributed to every performance in such a way that the evening would be dramatically altered had she not been there encouraging, supporting, and listening to each performer at every note. Switzer was an absolute star, albeit a humble star, on the stage this evening." - Chamberfest Blog
"Erika Switzer definitely doesn't believe Song Interpretation to be a decorative accompaniment; rather, as an independent, commentating voice, which she plays with specificity and well-accentuated phrasing. Musically on one wavelength, the duo produced captivating and addictive music." - Westfalen-Blatt

Paul Hobbs necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 166 diseños de 37 diseñadores freelance.
The traditional HR industry is dead - they just don't know it yet. The employment landscape has changed dramatically in the last 10 years (this site is proof of that) but most HR departments don't know how to deal with the changes (in fact, most HR departments can't even describe the changes). EuHReka is a new way of managing the relationship between employees and employers - we help employers find and retain the best talent; we help that talent to experience the highest possible levels of job satisfaction and success. EuHReka - it's HR, but not as you know it.
Our target market is any organisation with at least 300 employees. Typically we expect of our clients to be companies with about 500 to 2500 employees, but we also expect to work with government departments (large and small). The desired audience will be senior executives who are looking to get more bang for their buck when it comes to their HR budget.
We are looking for a logo to represent our new web-based HR service - EuHReka.
Some things to keep in mind:
1. We are offering something completely new in the HR market, so the logo needs to convey a sense of being "new", "fresh", "innovative"
2. The key to the logo is that it is a play on the word "eureka" which is Greek for "I have found it!" (http://tinyurl.com/27ev2e) - we have inserted a "H" to make it euHReka. We need to emphasize the "HR" element.
3. Our target market is primarily the medium sized corporate world
4. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold
We don't really mind whether the word is lower or upper case or a mixture - as long as the "HR" in euHReka is prominent (but not TOO prominent).
We also need to incorporate our slogan: "It's HR, but not as you know it"
Here are examples of logos that we like:
Here are examples of logos that we don't like:

In this final post I'm going to sum up what this project has produced, potential next steps, key lessons learned, and what we'd pass on to others working in this area.
In the last five months, the SALT project has produced a number of outputs:
- Data extraction recipe: https://salt11.wordpress.com/recipe-data-extraction-from-talis/
- Details on how the algorithm can support recommendations (courtesy Dave Pattern): http://www.daveyp.com/blog/archives/1453
- Technical processes documentation for processing the data and supporting the recommender API (though the API itself is not yet published): https://salt11.wordpress.com/technical-processes/
- An open licensing statement from JRUL which means the data can be made available for reuse (we've yet to determine how to make this happen, given the size of the dataset; and we also need to explore whether CC-BY is the most appropriate license going forward): https://salt11.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/agreeing-licensing-of-data/
- A trial recommender functionality in the live Copac prototype: https://salt11.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/copac_recommender.jpg
- A recommender function the JRUL library search interface prototype: https://salt11.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/salt_jrul.jpg
- User testing instruments:SALT Postgraduate User Discussion Guide SALT user response sheet and results
- Feedback from collections managers & potential data contributors helping us consider weaknesses and opportunities, as well as possible sustainable next steps.
Next steps:
There are a number of steps that can be taken as a result of this project – some imminent 'quick wins' which we plan to take on after the official end, and then others that are 'bigger' than this project.
What we plan to do next anyway:
- Adjust the threshold to a higher level (using the 'usefulness' benchmark given to us as users as a basis) so as to suppress some of the more off-base recommendations our users were bemused by.
- Implement the recommender in the JRUL library search interface
- Once the threshold has been reset, consider implementing the recommender as an option feature in the new Copac interface. We'd really like to, but we'd need to assess if the results are too JRUL-centric.
- Work with JRUL to determine most appropriate mechanisms for hosting the data and supporting the API in the longer term (decisions here are dependent on how, if at all, we continue with this work from a Shared Services perspective)
- Work with JRUL to assess the impact of this in the longer term (on user satisfaction, and on borrowing behaviour)
The Big Picture (what else we'd like to see happen):
1. Aggregate more data. Combine the normalised data from JRUL with processed data from additional libraries that represent a wider range of institutions, including learning and teaching. Our hunch is that only a few more would make the critical difference in ironing out some of the skewed results we get from focusing on one data set (i.e. results skewed to JRUL course listings)
2. Assess longer term impact. Longer-term analysis of the impact of the recommender functionality on JRUL user satisfaction and borrowing behaviour. Is there, as with Huddersfield, more borrowing from 'across the shelf'? Is our original hypothesis borne out?
3. Requirements and costs gathering for a shared service. Establish the requirements and potential costs for a shared service to support processing, aggregation, and sharing of activity data via an API. Based on this project, we have a fair idea of what those requirements might be, but our experience with JRUL indicates that such provision need to adequately support the handling and processing of large quantities of data. How much FTE, processing power, and storage would we need if we scaled to handling more libraries? Part of this requirements gathering exercise would involve identifying additional contributing libraries, and the size of their data.
4. Experiment with different UI designs and algorithm thresholds to support different use cases. For example, undergraduate users vs 'advanced' researcher users might benefit from the thresholds being set differently; in addition, there are users who want to see items held elsewhere and how to get them vs those who don't. Some libraries will be keen to manage user expectations if they are 'finding' stock that's not held at the home institution.
5. Establish more recipes to simplify data extraction from the more common LMS's beyond Talis (Horizon, ExLibris Voyager, and Innovative).
6. Investigate how local activity data can help collections managers identify collection strengths and recognise items that should be retained because of association with valued collections. We thought about this as a form of "stock management by association." Librarians might treat some long-tail items (e.g. items with limited borrowing) with caution if they were aware of links/associations to other collections (although there is also the caveat that this wouldn't be possible with local activity data reports in isolation)
7. More ambitiously, investigate how nationally aggregated activity data could support activities such as stock weeding by revealing collection strengths or gaps and allowing librarians to cross check against other collections nationally. This could also inform the number of copies a library should buy, and which books from reading lists are required in multiple copies.
8. Learning and teaching support. Explore the relationship between recommended lists and reading lists, and how it can be used as a tool to support academic teaching staff.
9. Communicate the benefits to decision-makers. If work were to continue along these lines, then a recommendation that has come out strongly from our collaborators is the need to accompany any development activity with a targeted communications plan, which continually articulates the benefits of utilising activity data to support search to decision-makers within libraries. While within our community a significant amount of momentum is building in this area, our meetings with librarians indicates that the 'why should I care?' and more to the point 'why should I make this a priority?' questions are not adequately answered. In a nutshell, 'leveraging activity data' can easily fall down or off the priority lists of most library managers. It would be particularly useful to tie these benefits to the strategic aims and objectives of University libraries as a means to get such work embedded in annual operational planning.
What can other institutions do to benefit from our work?
- For those using the Talis LMS (and with a few years of data stored), institutions can extract data, and create their own API to pull in as a recommender function using these recipes.
- Institutions can benefit from the work we did with users to understand their perceptions of the function, and can be assured that students (undergraduates and postgraduates) can see the immediate benefit (as long as we get rid of some of the odd stuff by setting the threshold higher)
- Use the findings of this project to support a business case for this work to their colleagues
How can they go about this?
- Assess the quality and quantity of the data stored in your LMS to determine if there's potential there. For this project (and for the simple recommender based on 'people who borrowed) you only need data that ties unique individuals to borrowed items (see more from Andy Land on the data extraction process and how anonymisation is handled here: https://salt11.wordpress.com/recipe-data-extraction-from-talis/).
- To understand how the recommender algorithm works, see this post Dave Pattern wrote for us: http://www.daveyp.com/blog/archives/1453
- To follow our steps in terms of data format, loading, processing, and setting up an API see Dave Chaplin's explanation: https://salt11.wordpress.com/technical-processes/
- To conduct user-testing and focus groups to assess the recommender, feel free to draw from our SALT Postgraduate User Discussion Guide and SALT user response sheet.
Our most significant lessons:
- A lower threshold may throw up 'long tail' items, but they are likely to not be deemed relevant or useful by users (although they might be seen as 'interesting' and something they might look into further). Set a threshold of ten or so, as the University of Hudderfield has, and the quality of recommendations is relatively sound.
- Concerns over anonymisation and data privacy are not remotely shared by the users we spoke to. While we might question this response as potentially naive, this does indicate that users trust libraries to handle their data in a way that protects them and also benefits them.
- You don't necessarily need a significant backlog of data to make this work locally. Yes, we had ten years worth from JRUL, which turned out to be a vast amount of data to crunch. But interestingly in our testing phases when we worked with only 5 weeks of data, the recommendations were remarkably good. Of course, whether this is true elsewhere, depends on the nature and size of the institution. But it's certainly worth investigating.
- If the API is to work on the shared service level, then we need more (but potentially not many more) representative libraries to aggregate data from in order to ensure that recommendations aren't skewed to represent one institution's holdings, course listings or niche research interests, and can support different use cases (i.e. learning and teaching).

Do you want to fight off an impending cold or flu? To keep your resistance up, try warming spices, which are some of the healthiest ingredients in nature's pharmacy.
Warming spices offer a myriad of benefits, including easing joint pain, improving circulation, and, according to Ayurvedic medicine, stimulating your agni, or inner fire, making you feel more alive and energetic.
Coincidentally, these spices -- curry, turmeric, cinnamon, annatto, chili powder, paprika, ginger, and saffron -- mirror the vibrant, defiant colors of the falling leaves. In the fall, everything comes together in a glorious burst of creativity. These balanced, one-dish entrees go along with the plan.
Healthy Spice Rack
Modern research is confirming what healers and traditional medicine practitioners have known for centuries: many spices aren't merely flavorful -- they're healthy, too. When consumed in medicinal amounts, here's what they can do.
It's the spice that gives curry powder and mustard its deep yellow color. Rich in antioxidants, turmeric has long been used for healing in India. Lately turmeric has been the most newsworthy of spices; researchers discovered that it may fight cancer, and that it contains a host of other healthy properties, including inflammation-fighting compounds called curcuminoids. Studies show that curcuminoids may help prevent Alzheimer's disease, joint inflammation, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Turmeric may also help reduce cholesterol and improve certain eye conditions, as well as heal skin infections when used topically.
The rust-colored seeds are a staple in Caribbean and Latin American cooking and have long been used for medicinal purposes. Annatto, or achiote, contains carotenoids often used to treat headaches, cancer, diabetes, inflammation, jaundice, and epilepsy. Some even consider it an aphrodisiac. In cooking, the slightly bitter, mild-tasting seeds are used primarily as a coloring agent and as a complement to spicy dishes.
For centuries, ginger has been used as a digestive tonic, an appetite stimulant, and a treatment for nausea caused by both motion sickness and morning sickness. Its active ingredients, gingerols and shogaols, help neutralize stomach acids. Research confirms ginger's anti-inflammatory properties; the spice shows promise in treating osteoarthritis and, topically, rheumatoid arthritis.
From the bark of a tropical evergreen, cinnamon stimulates the vital functions of the body. It counteracts congestion, aids circulation, eases nausea, and may be useful in the treatment of osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes.
Chili Powder
This blend of spices is mostly chili peppers, plus cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and garlic powder. Most of the spice's health benefits are from the capsaicin in the red pepper. Capsaicin is most commonly used in skin creams to reduce pain, including that of osteoarthritis. It also has antioxidant and blood-thinning qualities.
Because of its high price and intense flavor, saffron is used sparingly in most recipes. Restraint also applies to its health benefits: Crocetin, the carotene that gives saffron its deep orange color, has potent antioxidant and anticancer qualities, but consuming large amounts of saffron can be detrimental to the central nervous system and kidneys.
Curry Powder
A blend of spices that generally includes turmeric, cardamom, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, curry powder has a wealth of health benefits. Like cinnamon and ginger, cardamom has a stimulating effect. Coriander is used as an herbal digestive aid; it's a natural diuretic, helps the body detoxify, and it eases nausea. Cumin stimulates circulation and can help relieve abdominal cramping. Fenugreek is used to treat indigestion, intestinal inflammation, and allergies.
This spice is made by grinding dried mild to slightly hot red peppers into a powder. Like chili powder, its benefits come from capsaicin, which has antioxidant properties and may help reduce blood-platelet stickiness.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today announced formation of the Streets, Roads and Trails Committee to work toward a consensus on how to finance streets in existing and new areas of Lincoln.
The City Council approved some new measures last August to help meet the need for water and sewer construction and maintenance. The Council also acted to close part, but not all, of the financing gap on streets. The new committee will build on the work done by last year's Infrastructure Finance Committee in examining funding possibilities.
"Infrastructure is one of the most important issues affecting our community's growth and quality of life," Seng said. "The basic work was done by the original committee last year. The new committee's members and I will be working closely with the City Council to complete the task."
On Monday, January 5, the City Council held a hearing on issuing bonds backed by Lincoln's portion of the state gas tax as one more step toward meeting the community's street construction needs. As one possible funding mechanism, Seng said she will encourage the new committee and the City Council to look again at sending a bond issue to the voters, especially in light of continued low interest rates and Lincoln's "triple-A" bond rating.
"Lincoln should not miss the opportunity to issue bonds before interest rates begin to rise," Seng said.
The new committee will be chaired by the same three people who led the Infrastructure Finance Committee. The tri-chairs of the new committee are Brad Korell of Wells Fargo Bank in Lincoln; Jan Gauger, former Lancaster County Commissioner and owner of One More Time Consignment Sales; and Russ Bayer, past chair of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission and co-owner of Data Support Systems.
The committee members are Larry Zink, Bruce Wright, Roger Severin, Kent Seacrest, Doug Rotthaus, Richard Meginnis, Gates Minnick Polly McMullen, Dan Marvin, Mark Hunzeker, Mark Hesser, Bob Hampton, Bill Giovanni, Jim Fram, Clint Burge, Carol Brown and Jennifer Brinkman.
The Mayor said the tri-chairs have been working diligently with her to prepare for the new committee's first meeting later this week.

Unfortunately, this is Madripoor...is it safe to trust anyone? Meanwhile, Malcolm Colcord must make a decision of his own; one of life or death, with the fate of the potentially-revived Weapon X program hanging in the balance.

Hey Nate, check out the video above first, and then look at the page below for more details.
Teardown videos are a great way to win new business for your company
How do we know?
Because we have used the method for similar companies and below we share our results.
How teardown videos turned into
an $11K per month retainer
We created a batch of 20 teardown videos for a funnel management company.
We emailed each prospect with a very personalized email, and a personalized teardown video similar to the example below.
20 teardown videos were sent
10 responded
5 connected on phone calls
1 client signed within 30 days
That client was worth $11K per month on retainer
Below is an example of a teardown video that we sent:
Teardown videos as a service
You probably already know that teardowns can be a great way to win business.
But these videos take a lot of time and energy to create.
That is why we created this service.
We create and send teardown videos for you.
We operate under your company name and email address, and send these videos on your behalf.
Once we have an interested prospect, we introduce them to you.
We set up meetings with qualified prospects, you close the deal.
Client Testimonial
How the service works
We come to an agreement on a monthly retainer and sales commission arrangement that works for both parties.
Then we create 15 teardown videos per month that are targeted for your prospects and messaging.
We then contact prospects via email with the teardown videos from one of your company email addresses.
Our goal is to then schedule a meeting between you and the prospect.
We set up the appointments, you close the deal.

We've all been there. Walking on the streets or driving down the road, looking at the same car that's been standing there for who knows how long. A car we wanted to save, but couldn't for some reason.
Maybe it was the money, maybe it was the lack of time or space to work on it, or maybe the owners disappeared and nobody took your money. The reason for not saving an abandoned car isn't that important, but the feeling is bad if you're a car guy.
What dream project car of yours never actually happened?

Best Delivery Day for Garden Roses
2 Days before your event
Deliver Thursday for a Saturday event.
As flowers are time-sensitive, after you place your order, we will always give you a call to double-check that you have the optimum delivery dates and flowers. If you are unsure what day to select when placing your order, just pick the best available date you can, and our flower are experts will verify it with you later.
Flower: Garden Roses - Watermelon Ripple variety
Color: Watermelon Pink
Number of Blooms Per stem: 1 flower per stem
Stem Length: Approx 15-25 inches
Availability: Year Round
All of our roses are shipped directly from our California farms, overnight with FedEx, UPS or OnTrak. They are shipped in partial bud, so they will need approximately 1 to 3 days to open to their fullest. When you receive your roses, immediately open the box, gently remove any packaging and lift the bunches out of the box. Begin removing all packaging on the bunches. Your roses will likely need a little tender loving care, as they have been without water for more than a few hours. You'll notice this because the stems and petals may look a little soft and tired. This is quite normal and they will noticeably perk up and look crisper after they have been in water for 4 to 6 hours.
If there are any leaves on the stems that will end up submerged in water, remove these as much as you can. You may also want to remove all thorns to make the roses easier to handle if designing arrangements later. We recommend using a rose strimmer (check online or with a local florist to find where to purchase one), but you can also use scissors. With a sharp knife, trim 1/2 inch off the ends of the stems on angle (so that the stems end up with a slanted edge - this will allow them to take up more water). Place the stems in plenty of fresh, cold water from the faucet. Place the flowers in a cool, somewhat dark location, away from direct sunlight (so not in a window) and heat sources (not next to the oven!).
Keep a good eye on the water level in the vase as sometimes flowers will drink a lot in a short time. If you see the water getting cloudy or murky, replace it with fresh water immediately. A good practice is to recut the ends of the stems and change the water in the vase every 24 hours. As the roses begin to open, you may now remove any guard petals (the outer most layer of petals that may not look as beautiful). These guard petals serve a special purpose in protecting the rose during shipping. Please keep in mind that the cooler the temperature, the longer the roses will last but the longer they will take to open.
Enjoy your local California grown roses!
Flowers are shipped overnight from their California fields with UPS, FedEx or OnTrac. We can deliver the flowers on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays. As you place your order, please view the recommended delivery day for your specific flowers on the delivery date calendar above. If you are still unsure about which delivery date to choose, please give us a call and we will be happy to advise.
Here is some information about how you will receive your flowers:
- Deliveries should arrive before 5pm on your chosen delivery date (Most often, they arrive before 10:30am).The exact delivery time is specific to your address, so please contact FedEx/UPS/OnTrac if you need to double check.
- You will receive a tracking number via email which you can use to track your order online
- Please arrange to have someone available at the delivery address to receive the flowers on the day of delivery. It is important that the flowers be attended to and placed in water as soon as possible after they are delivered. Sometimes carriers will require a signature at the time of delivery. If no one is home and you miss your delivery, please contact FedEx at 1(800) GO FEDEX or UPS at 1(800) 782-7892 or OnTrac at 1(800) 334-5000 to reschedule.
- FedEx/UPS/OnTrac will not accept orders without a valid and working telephone number so please make sure the number you enter is correct when placing your order.
- Please double check that you enter a correct shipping address when placing your order. Changes to delivery location may require a $20 fee and may not even be possible as the delivery date approaches.
- FlowersFromCalifornia.com is not responsible for orders once in the hands of the carrier. For orders that are received before or after their specified delivery date, lost, stolen or damaged, please contact FedEx/UPS/OnTrac directly.
- We can arrange shipments to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska and Canada. Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to double check if there are any shipping or import surcharges and to confirm your total price.
THE FlowersFromCalifornia.com GUARANTEE:
Before we start, we'd like to let you know that the flowers you will be receiving will be fresh unlike any fresh you have known before! Our California flowers are harvested and then shipped overnight directly to you, so you get them the day after they leave their farm. Not to toot our own horn, but really, it is highly unlikely that you will experience a problem with these flowers!
However, we know that a little peace of mind never hurts, and occasionally events are out of our control, so here's our guarantee:
In the rare case that you receive flowers that are damaged, you can choose to either:
1. Have a second identical order of fresh flowers reshipped to you.
2. Receive a complete refund
In order to take advantage of our guarantee, it is important that you notify us about any issues within 4 hours after your flowers are delivered. Just email us images of the damaged flowers, put all flowers back in the box they came in and set it by your front door. We will arrange for the box to be picked up and returned to us. Please check out our complete Guarantee text.

Scotland v Ireland, Six Nations, February 24
Brown learning from the greats
ESPN Staff
February 22, 2013
Kelly Brown won his first match as Scotland captain against Italy © PA Photos
Scotland captain Kelly Brown was a relieved man following his side's 34-10 win over Italy in the last round of matches and now the flanker wants to take that form into their match with Ireland on Sunday.
Brown took on the captaincy for the autumn internationals, but a dispirited Scotland slumped to losses to New Zealand, South Africa and Tonga, defeats that signalled the end of Andy Robinson's tenure as head coach. Since then he has been picking the brains of others who have led out international teams, including 2007 World Cup winning captain, John Smit, one of his predecessors as Scotland skipper, Gary Armstrong and his club captain at Saracens, Steve Borthwick.
"I enjoy the role. Over the years I've been a senior player and it was a huge honour to be asked to take the captaincy," he said. "It didn't start how I would have liked but I am enjoying it and very proud to be captain of this team. We now need to make sure we make the nation proud on Sunday.
"I phoned a few former Scotland captains and I also had a chat with Steve Borthwick down at Saracens and a few others like John Smit, Jason White and Gary Armstrong, because I wanted to get their take on things.
"The Italy match gave us a really big lift, but it's only one game and we need to keep on working hard. As a player it is great that the nation are excited and proud of us and we need to take a bit of confidence from that win - but we also need to learn and keep on improving."
The 30-year-old will lead his side out at Murrayfield against an Ireland team that features five changes from the side that lost 12-6 at home to England in the last round of matches. Paddy Jackson has been brought in at fly-half, Luke Marshall in the centres and Donncha O'Callaghan has been added to the pack.
Scotland haven't beaten Ireland at Murrayfield since 2001 and Brown accepts that it will be a difficult task for them to end that run.
"There's no doubt Ireland will be hurting having lost their last match against England at home," he said. "Of the guys they have brought in, while they may not have a huge number of caps, this season they have all been playing incredibly well in the Heineken Cup, which is pretty much international standard, so we're expecting a very tough game.
"I've been watching Ulster play all year and there's no doubt that Paddy Jackson has been absolutely central to their success, so they are fortunate as a nation to have so many good stand-offs."

By Spencer . November 1, 2011 . 1:00pm
Way back at E3 2009, Nintendo announced the Wii Vitality Sensor, an accessory players would clip on their fingers to feed biometric data (specifically the blood-oxygen saturation level of your index finger) into a video game. Plans for the Vitality Sensor have been put on ice since the device has difficulty performing with consistent results.
Perhaps, Sony will get the jump on biometric controls? A patent application reveals their possible plans for a biometric controller and handheld with specifications similar to the upcoming PlayStation Vita.
The patent also has design schematics for a biometric DualShock3 controller and PlayStation Move style wand.
Sony's proposed devices will measure three biometric factors: galvanic skin resistance, electrocardio data, and electro-muscular data or in plain English – how moist your skin is, your heart rhythm, and muscle movements. All of this information will be sent into a video game by simply holding a controller or handheld. How are games going to use this? Sony has a list of ideas in the patent application.
Which idea do you think has the most potential as a game mechanic?

If Daft Punk and Boards of Canada can make a comeback this year then why not Mike Paradinas? True, he never really went into hiding - he owns/runs the label Planet Mu, responsible for the steady drip of electronica from white-hot emergent producers. But bar surfacing this year with Love & Devotion, a dream-pop project with Lara Rix-Martin, aka Mrs Mike Paradinas, he's been quiet since 2007 as µ-Ziq and the mixed reception to his seventh LP.
Not anymore: it seems mixing Love & Devotion prompted some visits to the garage, and the result is Chewed Corners; a synth LP chopped with arrhythmic, E-ravaged beats that nods at the contemporaries Paradinas has been grooming. Unlike his muddled Duntisbourne Abbots Soulmate Devastation Technique of six years ago, Chewed Corners focuses on the landmarks of Paradinas' vinyl collection: Aphex Twin, the Art of Noise, Orbital. His response feels like record of seamless cameos, like Edgar Wright made an ambient techno album. On 'Christ Dust' the popping, slithering beats recall Selected Ambient Works' 'Tha', while 'Feeble Minded' uses a churning keyboard attack like a ninja platform game of your dreams. Paradinas has a knack for bending his palette to recreate the greats: the bass, gentle footwork off-kilter operatic slabs of 'Talkon' sound like Orbital in slow motion, and the four-chord trance pads and intricate beatwork of 'Melting' pay tribute to Toytronic Records, whose vinyl-deprived fan base will scarf this down like methadone.
Paradinas isn't content with making a nostalgia record, and it would be foolish of him not to draw on the cutting-edge producers he's signed over the years. He displays a fondness for the brass synths Kuedo made his name with - 'Tickly Flanks' could be an extract from Severant if its creator had been into The Lawnmower Man instead of Blade Runner, slathered in acid house, psychedelic synths and erratic, brain-scrambling beats. 'Wipe's house piano phrases and syncopated drums could pass for a Laurel Halo single, while the jabbing dub techno of 'Houzz 10' is like a 12" from any Modern Love artist shot through with Roland TR-808s.
Sometimes Chewed Corners' determination to ape a particular style comes at the expense of melody: the album featuring as many half-sketches as it does memorable hooks. While this gives it a sense of scale, it does feel at times as though Paradinas has set out to forge his favourite Alan Silvestri soundtracks and got distracted by modern tech. But for every misfire - the fatigued 'Gunnar', or the choral melody and dub slabs on 'Smooch' that don't stir into each other - there's a moment of delight: 'Twangle Melkas' click track and rippling low-end are like an Amiga game beefed up by the Pet Shop Boys, and show just how much attention Paradinas has paid to so many genres. While it might not be as iconic as the records it admires, Chewed Corners is an invigorating return for the Planet Mu head honcho.
