MYSTIC FORCEMystic ForceProgressive Metal3.00 | 1 ratings |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator |
"Mystic Force" is a cassette tape demo release by US power metal act Mystic Force.
It�s a self-released affair, featuring 4 tracks and a full playing time of 16:29 minutes. The Baltimore,
Maryland based act were formed in 1983 and released a couple of demos and EPs before releasing
their debut full-length studio album "Shipwrecked with the Wicked" in 1990. This demo is their
first release. The tracks from the demo are also featured on the "Take Command - The Demo
Years (1990)" compilation (on vinyl) along with the tracks from the "Take Command (1989)"
EP. The music on the demo is US power metal with high pitched clean vocals, edgy heavy metal/semi- thrashy riffing, shredding melodic guitar solos and a powerful pounding rythm section. Early albums by artists like Queensr�che, Fates Warning and Heir Apparent are valid references. The progressive elements that the band would incorporate to their music later in their career are not present on this demo. The tracks are very well written, memorable and delivered with great conviction. The sound production is professional and powerful. It�s not obvious that this is a demo recording. Considering that this demo was released in 1987, quite a few studio releases from those days feature a sound production that don�t match this one. This is not just a promising first release, this is a great release in it�s own right and could well have been released as an EP instead of a demo. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is fully deserved.

Hi Rick,
A simple question to, hopefully, introduce a broader question... I love your effect Heads & Tales as written and hope to see you perform it one day (any plans to come to Europe?). One thing intrigues me, the audience assistant gets to keep a poker chip that will be used later in the evening. Where is the poker chip used? Is it in one of your published effects? I'm very interested in how you routine your effects together into a full show. Do you see the script of a show in terms of a traditional story arc or as a collection of pieces that work together? I guess another way of asking that might be, how modular are the effects when writing a show? Thanks Stuart

Greetings Stuart,
Man, I really like your questions, but I will warn you that my answer could easily fill an entire book. And I am talking a Mind, Myth & Magic size book, not one of those wimpy little things that my dear friend Docc puts out. To begin, the poker chip from Heads & Tales (which is actually my favorite of all of my creations) comes back into play at the very end of my show, but where it gets used is not published. However, I will say that everything will be out in Occam's Magic. I will also tell you that I have three different ending pieces to choose from, and each one uses the chip from Heads & Tales. That basically leads into part of your second series of questions. The pieces of my show are modular to a certain extent. But the key is that the theme and the character are always consistent. Although some of the pieces may occasionally change, the show itself is always exactly the same (at least in regard to theme and character). Without going too far at this point, tell me if any of that answers your questions. Oh yeah, and at this point, I have no plans to come to Europe, but that may change in 2009. Keep the change, Rick |
StuartNolan Elite user 474 Posts |
Thanks Rick,
That does answer my question to some degree. Looking forward to Occam's Magic. I can see that consistency of theme and character are very important. And I'm very interested in how the three endings are different in terms of the theme and character. I've written screenplays in the past and finding "one" good ending that works for the theme and the character is hard enough. Do you find that one of the possible endings becomes your favorite? If you make it to the UK in 2009 I'd love to invite you lecture at the University where I work. Best Stuart

Jason my friend...
Thanks for the nice words. It was great to see you in KC, and I hope that we can get together again soon. (Want to come to Pittsburgh to hang out and lecture?) Yeah, Heads & Tales is actually the only piece that I have created that I am really happy with. To me, it is the best thing that I do. And I know that it is not for everyone, but that is probably one of the reasons that I like it so much. Keep the change, Rick |

There are days that I prefer one over the others, but for the most part, they all fit. Now, that response may seem a bit light, but it really isn't. And the reason is that I really have had a couple dozen pieces that I created for that end spot in my show, but over time, I have cut the possibilities down to just three--each of which has its own personality, and its own style. So any of the three would work in the average performance. But by having the choice of more than one closer, I am able to vary the ending of the show for repeat bookings, and I can also take other factors into consideration when deciding what would work best on any given night. I hope that answers your question. Take care my friend. Keep the change, Rick |

You can refer to my response to Adam in regard to my MV2006 lecture notes. Until Occam's Magic comes out, that is the only place that Heads & Tales is published. Keep the change, Rick |

I finally got out and spent a few days in my size 48/13 G-Midlands. I wear a 47 in most Sidi boots and this is my first pair of Gaerne boots. First off, a big thanks to Atomic-Moto, great customer service! My first day in these was spent on gravel and backroads. I spent 9 hours in them on day one. By far the most forgiving boot I have ever worn for "day one" comfort. Excellent fit and no hot spots or discomfort. Great support for the type of riding I do (mostly gravel, fire roads, limited single track on WR250R and wee-Strom). Very comfortable to walk in and I expect them to get better with time. Although I have yet to submerse them totally, they are quite splash proof. The two buckle design fits me well. I have a very large calf and many boots with an upper buckle are uncomfortable for me. The velcro closure is at the last third of what is available when snugged on my calf but has stayed put with no signs of movement. So far, I have no complaints at all. I cannot imagine a better dual purpose boot. Perfect compromise between support and comfort for me. GregKY
I broke down and bought a pair of Gaerne Midland boots from Atomic-Moto. (Great service, BTW) Great boots. First, I have fairly wide feet and they fit ok. A little snug in the toe box at first, but they are already loosening up after just a few days of riding. Might be a bit of a problem in the cold, because I think they would be too tight on me with thick socks. Much more support than most adventure style boots, but still able to walk comfortably, if a little stiffly. Bonus - they look great!
Quick video product review of the G-Midland boot: <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_rEOrqoLsX8?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe> We rented some new barracks, stuck a fridge in the corner, filled it up with Bend's finest, dragged in some of our best vintage moto stuff....instant studio!! BP
I had the opportunity last week to to wear my Midlands on a 2500 mile week long tour of Arizona and New Mexico. Everything the video explains is true about the boot. Toebox, comfort, protection, et al. I wore these on the bike (2006 Multistrada) obviously, and they where what I'd call transparent. For new boots, I never noticed any odd-ball fitment issues, rubbing, chafing, or other. My biggest concern was how they'd function with the foot controls on the bike. Even with the lug type soles there was plenty of feel on the brake and shifter. The best part riding was these where totally warm even with thin boot socks. My toes got chilly only in the highest and coldest climate and elevations. At 7000 feet after a heavy snowfall at 7AM was the only time I'd wished I'd warm thicker socks. Otherwise, perfect. Same goes for hot weather. Coming across the desert in 90 degree heat on the way out, my feet never felt like they were roasting. A pleasant surprise right out of the box. Since we had 2 days of snow in Sante Fe, I spent alot of time tourista city walking, and pueblo hiking as well. I decided to wear the Midlands over my thin tenny-shoes that where in the saddlebags. All-day comfort is what I'd call these. More comfortable than a hiking specific shoe for me, and I have 'foot issues'. I never felt like I couldn't wait to get my boots off. I wanted a one boot does all and now I have it. I won't hesitate to wear these dualsporting. And the best part is they are extremely easy ON-OFF. The buckles work super easy. As a note I've always been a SIDI person. I had a pair of Adventures. Great boot those, but a bit heavier. The Gaerne's have a better feel allover, and feel lighter to the feet. Oddly enough they feel like they have more protection. I love the soles on these kicks. A very well thought out boot.
Great vid Brian. I concur with Rapid Dog. I recently spent 12 days in my new Midland boots, riding through Death Valley, Mohave, Joshua Tree, and Anza Borrego. I only had a couple days to break in the boots before the trip. As discussed in this thread, Brian suggests ordering one size larger than other Gaerne boots that you may own. After much deliberation on this, I decided to stick with size 10, since my SG10s have become slightly loose. I am happy with my decision. I am also very happy with the boots. I was looking for an adventure boot that is between my SG10s and Balance Oiled. I found it. They provide more protection than the Balance in the foot area, and the sole feels more supportive. I would like to see a third buckle, and a more substantial shin plate. But that is not a deal breaker for me. We had every kind of weather on our trip, from 90+ deg heat to below freezing, snow, hail, and driving rain. Not a drop inside the boots. I was never cold. The tread pattern is excellent, I was able to easily climb around on rocks at the "Racetrack", hike the "Ring Trail" at the "Hole In the Wall" State Park, and check out several abandon mines and ghost towns. Guys with metal toes had issues when hiking in rocks, and if you have a short inseam, metal toes can be down right dangerous tip toeing / pushing a big adventure bikes around. And now the Midlands are used daily commuting to work. I really like them, and I think you will too.
Mr Boarder and Mr Rapid, thanks for the comments. Coming from two people with your volumes of experience, it is much appreciated!! BP
now that some people have tried these how waterproof are we talking when we are talking about these boots?
Suffice to say, we did a dualsport thing yesterday and ended up in 6" of snow. Taking a break to write my name ... i trudged around in the stuff for 20 minutes and never felt a bit of damp or cold, with the same thin socks I always wear. I doubt you could get a boot any more waterproof.
RD, that is a pretty good test. My unplanned test was about 30 minutes riding in sideways rain, and then walking around the small town of Joshua Tree looking for a cafe to get warmed up. But during that walk, amount of water on the roads was amazing - near to the top of the curbs! And the next day they actually had Snow plows going down main street to clear the sand that had run into the street!! :huh Never seen that before. Not a drop inside the boots. (Or in the super secret prototype Giant Loop soft saddle bags. )
Yes, got a chance to do some testing for GL. I don't want to derail this thread, so will send you a PM.
Cool, probably going to order a pair of these soon. Only reason I haven't is because I'm working far from home and have not gotten to ride much.
I'm curious about the fit. I have a small, wide, "duck" foot (wide forefoot, narrow heel). Sidi's just flat out do not work for me. I have a pair of Alpinestar SM-X 3 Air boots that I love, but the left sole is almost worn through and A'Star does not make them anymore. grrrrrrrrrrr.
So, BP: in terms of support, I gather that, in the Gaerne line, from least supportive to most, the G-Adventure would be followed by the Balance Oiled and then the G-Midland. Seem right? Thanks!
There is some detail to it, but basically that is correct. It would take a little time to explain, but people should look at levels of support separately for ankle area, midsole, and height / clamping. Trying to quickly put some LOOSE quantification on it, the Balance is 1 step more rigid in the ankle, and 2 steps in the midsole. The Midland is 2 steps more rigid in the ankle area than the balance, and 1 more that same in the midsole. But that oversimplifies a bit. It really also helps to look at the rider, bike, terrain, etc. Example, some guys should really have a GX-1, which is a light MX boot: http://www.atomic-moto.com/Gaerne-GX-1-Boot_p_82.html Hope that helps. BP
Just got my Gaerne G-Midland boots in today. I'm really glad I found theses boots. I've been looking for boots that fit comfortably for quite some time now until I found this thread and ordered them for Atomic-moto. I tried the Sidi Adventure a little while ago but the toe box area was too narrow and uncomforatable for my slightly wide feet. The G-Midland's fit perfect, they are wider in the toe-box and ball of foot area than the Sidi's and are very comfortable for me. The seem really well made. I'll be taking them on a long trip here shortly so I'll be able to comment on function next month after 5000 miles or so. Also, Atomic-moto is top-notch. This was my first experience buying from them. I got great service and help with selecting gear.
Got my Midlands today, the sixe 11(46) seems to be the right size for me, I typically wear 11.5(45.5). Just enough room in the toe box. One concern of mine though, I have the buckles cinched down to the max and they are borderline acceptable in terms of tightness. I plan to try them with thicker socks, but I worry the leather will stretch over time and I won't have any way to tighten them further. $370 is a big chunk of change to spend on boots that aren't quite right (for me and my skinny legs).
KR, try this: grab an extra footbed from a pair of your athletic shoes, and add them into the Midlands. Don't pull out the stockers, double them up. That should improve it. If it does, pull them out, and go to a high end running store, and try with some aftermarket insoles. My preference is Superfeet green or orange. BP
So after riding in them for a bit, I'm starting to really like these boots. At first I was concerned because my skinny legs were swimming in the upper and my foot was borderline tight in the lower. A moto specific sock solved the skinny leg issue. The tightness at the foot was only felt when walking around, it went away when riding, because your foot backs up in the shoe as you bend it. It has also gotten more comfortable as the leather breaks in, tightness while walking is no longer an issue. Also it's very secure feeling, I'm glad I didn't get a boot with less protection. My one gripe with the shoes are the buckles, they don't seem to want to stay in the plastic tooth that I set them in. The part that is sewn to the boot strap doesn't grip the tooth all that well (it wants to skip a tooth sometimes) which is disconcerting because you can't replace that piece... It's sewn to the boot. Hasn't been an issue yet (hopefully never will be), I'll just have to keep an eye on them.

- May 11, 2010Hey ILYB folks,
I figured I should just share my ideas publicly with everyone. This way we can discuss these things together.
This is all in response to the email Brian sent out recently.
1.) my thought for a tile is "Precocial" which is the scientific term for chicks that hatch fully formed and are moving from the nest within a few days
2.) I like the member profiles idea
3.) I think it should be an option as to whether we can get a paper or email copy, though I personally would prefer email to conserve paper (and it's faster)
4.) There should probably be a consensus about who would write up the trip reports and it can be a different person each trip
5-10.) Good ideas, no aditional comments from me
I'm currently trying to figure into my schedule when I can sit some people down for the Mentor Interviews. Obviously everyone has different birder mentors/heros so I think everyone should try to get that special birder to sit down and talk with them.
These are my thoughts.
Hope to see you all at Midewin!
Edward Warden

Contemporary Bizen Ceramic Exhibition |
April 3 - 29, 2009 |
See more of this artist's work: |
Hiroyuki Wakimoto 脇本博之 For centuries, wood-fired pottery from the "six ancient kilns" in Japan (Tanba, Bizen, Echizen, Shigaraki, Tokoname, and Seto) helped cultivate a quiet aesthetic sensibility and appreciation for simple unadorned beauty. The pottery center of Bizen produced many exceptional ceramists and more Living National Treasures than any other historic pottery areas. This luminous heritage offers great inspirations for contemporary ceramists, but at the same time leaves an enormous legacy for them to live up to. Traditionally, Bizen pottery is made for use. Blessed with a good local clay that turns brilliant red after firing, historically Bizen ceramists emphasized firing effects yet adhered to functional conservative forms. It is a challenge for Bizen artists to innovate without risking disconnection from "Ko-Bizen" (old Bizen) tradition. Hiroyuki Wakimoto is a notable exception who successfully integrates creativity with the Bizen tradition. Born in 1952 in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture in Kyushu, Hiroyuki Wakimoto received art training in textile design in Osaka Art College. In his senior year, he decided textile design was not his interest and left the college. While visiting a friend who was doing an apprenticeship in Bizen, Wakimoto found his true calling in Bizen-yaki. He began an apprenticeship under George Yamashita, an accomplished ceramist who studied under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. Nine years later, Wakimoto established his own kiln and gradually built a reputation as one of the most distinctive artists in Bizen. With a great interest in forms and training in design, Wakimoto creates some of the most interesting works in contemporary Japanese ceramics. His works are instantly recognized by bold, sophisticated forms with clean lines and beautiful fire markings. What sets Wakimoto apart from many of his peers is his ability to produce an astounding body of innovative work without abandoning the cultural connection of this art form. Recalling the evolution of his style, Wakimoto said, "In the beginning, I cared too much about making my work unique, my hands struggled with the clay. Then one day, I set my hands free to express my feelings without thinking too hard. From that day, my work became spontaneous." The Achilles heel of many innovative wood-fire ceramists is in their firing techniques. In this respect, Wakimoto's mastery of the firing process is legendary. He does a 14-days firing once a year in a three-chambered noborigama (climbing kiln) that holds up to a thousand pieces, representing his entire year's work. This working style requires extraordinary confidence and impeccable technical expertise. He keeps detailed records of every firing, including data on temperature and the exact position of every piece in the kiln. Wakimoto's meticulous approach and technical excellence allow him to carry his artistic visions to fruition. Wakimoto has won many prestigious awards in his career, including the Grand Prize of Yakishime Exhibition. In 2002, his work was first exhibited in America in Touching Stone Gallery. The show was enthusiastically received. Two years later, he was invited by the New Mexico Museum of International Folk Art to show at the International Folk Art Market. During that visit, Wakimoto toured several ancient Anasazi Indian ruins in the area. That visit further broadened his interest in ancient forms. His recent works include many interesting forms that might have been inspired by that experience. Wakimoto's untiring quest for new ideas is possibly the most important attribute of a creative artist, a quality that may ultimately distinguish art itself from craft. |

Godiva: A Chocolate Legend
The tale of Godiva starts in a Brussels home with the Belgian praline. "Godiva's heritage dates back to 1926," Ilse Wilmots, one of the five Godiva chef chocolatiers, explains. "When our founding chocolatier Pierre Draps started making traditional Belgian pralines for the luxury department stores of Brussels." From the workshop in their house, Pierre, along with his wife and four children, produced handcrafted praline chocolates. "Pierre Draps decided to name his company Godiva after being inspired by the passion, boldness and generosity of Lady Godiva from the old English legend."
Today, the artistry and vision of Pierre Draps has been passed down to the Godiva chef chocolatiers. Based across the world, they are placed to design chocolates specifically for local tastes. "Godiva is the only chocolatier which makes seasonal collections specific for local seasons," Isle says, adding: "All chocolates created in our kitchen are handcrafted. The development of recipes is still done in an artisanal manner." Hence, from concept to the final chocolate, it can take a year; Godiva chooses the finest, and sometimes rarest, ingredients available, not using preservatives or alcohol to enhance shelf life. "Sometimes you have to start ten times over because you're not satisfied, but that's part of the game. Sometimes I brood at length on an idea and then all of a sudden it's there."
From the instantly recognisable gold packaging to the exquisite piped touches, Godiva has become synonymous with luxurious Belgian confectionary, "but before the Royal Warrant and the global recognition," Isle asserts, "Godiva was – and still is – the story of an exceptional Belgian family whose passion for chocolate drove them to greatness."
To celebrate an impressive 90 years of business, Godiva has taken eight of its most iconic chocolates and curated an anniversary box, with each chocolate telling a narrative. Shop this and more sumptuous Godiva treats below, plus visit Café Godiva in-store.
Indulge your sweet tooth with these mouth-watering chocolate melting pots from the Godiva recipe.
Chocolate Melting Pots (Serves 2)
27g shelled hazelnuts
80g dark chocolate (such as Godiva's Dark Chocolate Tablet)
35g butter, plus extra for greasing the tins
60g caster sugar
2 eggs, separated
20g soft flour
2 praline chocolates (any of Godiva's milk or dark chocolates would be perfect)
You will need two round cake tins of approximately 6cm in diameter
1- The day before, preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 6. Toast the hazelnuts on a pie tin until they begin to release a delicious aroma.
2- Melt the chocolate in a bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water (bain-marie). Turn off the heat and add the butter.
3- While the mixture cools, cut two circles of greaseproof paper, the same diameter as the cake tins. Grease them well and stick the paper circles to the bottoms. Then grease the paper. Place the tins in the freezer.
4- Ground the hazelnuts in a food processor. Add the flour to the chocolate mix before adding the hazelnuts and the egg yolks.
5- Beat the egg whites until stiff and gradually add the sugar using a whisk. Stir into the dough.
6- Pour approximately 2cm of dough into the tins and freeze for 1 hour. Place the remaining dough in the fridge.
7- Place one praline on the frozen dough, cover with the remaining dough and freeze overnight.
8- On the day, turn the oven to 180°C/gas mark 6. Place the frozen preparations in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
9- Remove from oven, turn out while still hot and enjoy immediately.
Make the pinnacle of festivities truly delicious by cooking a recipe from Tom Sellers or Frances Atkins for Christmas Day.

By now you've noticed this year's Noir City slate concerns heists—all the films so far have involved foolproof plans to make a big score. 1964's Kenjû zankoku monogatari, aka Cruel Gun Story is about a crew that wants to rob a race track, same as in Kubrick's The Killing. Japanese superstar Jo Shishido leads his minions on a caper that goes wrong almost immediately and eventually erupts into pyrotechnic violence. If there's a lesson here it's don't get on Shishido's bad side. Though he's preternaturally cool (really, we can't think of another star who could make exchanging close quarters gunfire while smoking a cigarette look believable), restraint in the face of aggression isn't his strong trait. When he has something serious to say, it's going to come from the muzzle of a gun. This is another Noir City offering that most sites don't label as film noir, but the influences are certainly there, and in fact the film is part of The Criterion Collection's five film Nikkatsu Noir DVD box set. We've seen Kenjû zankoku monogatari described as Nikkatsu Studios' crown jewel. We don't know about that. We'd call it an imperfect but entertaining effort.

We already covered the Swedish sexploitation flick Flossie back in December and paired the write-up with a West German promo poster. Above you see an exceedingly rare Japanese promo for the same film, with young star Marie Forså giving us various O-faces, as well as reclining nude in the center. Pretty sure this one hasn't been seen online before. Flossie opened in Japan today in 1975. You can see the other poster here.

The Hottest Show in Town was originally released in Sweden in 1974 as Sex-Cirkusse, and just as promised by the Japanese poster art above, you get a circus, a hot one, populated by assorted acrobats, aerialists, and clowns, some nude, some not. You also see people hook up, explicitly, which is really the entire point of this production. These bits earned the film an x rating, as well as some controversy caused by a sex sequence involving a very small man and a very small woman—aka dwarves. This isn't particularly shocking today. Or is it? Certainly dwarves are more mainstream now. Game of Thrones even features the horniest little person in entertainment history, so we're guessing Sex-Cirkusse's dwarf sex won't bother you. We could be wrong. But dwarves, clowns, and aerialists are all a sideshow. The real star of the movie is the lovely Danish actress Anna Bie Warburg, seen below in her bushy altogether, a bold image we couldn't resist sharing. We guess the general thrust of the film is that all the world's a circus and all its denizens merely players. Really horny ones. The Hottest Show in Town premiered in Japan today in 1976.

We thought we'd start your 2017 off right with this January calendar page from a 1974 issue of the Japanese magazine Heibon Punch featuring the always wonderful Mari Tanaka. She's chameleonic and can look very different from shot to shot. For a glimpse of her at her best, we suggest peeking here.

We've shared several images of Japanese actress Hitomi Kozue that had never been seen online before, and we have more we haven't uploaded we plan to get to. But today we wanted to share someone else's effort. The Tumblr blog Humungus posted a Japanese album cover with Kozue on the front. The image was so striking we decided to wipe the text off it and present it as a clean photograph—just Kozue, unadorned. You see the result above. You're welcome.

This dramatic poster was made for Nikutai no mon, aka Gate of Flesh, a movie based on a 1947 novel by Japanese author Taijirô Tamura. The book has been filmed five times. The most famous version was made in 1968 with Jo Shishido and Yumiko Nogawa earning acclaim for their lead roles in what was a serious and artistic film, but the above promo is for the 1977 roman porno version starring Reiko Kayama, Izumi Shima, and Junko Miyahsita. Needless to say, the two films diverge rather sharply. However, we need to point out, as we do periodically, that roman porno isn't porno—it's softcore. The "roman" in roman porno is short for "romantic," and though the movies aren't typically romantic in the normal sense, they aren't explicit. Such depictions were illegal in Japan back then, and remain so today (though filmmakers use pixilation of sexual organs to skirt the law).

This Japanese poster for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is damaged but still amazing. It was made for the 1954 movie's premiere in Japan today in 1955. Jules Verne's classic novel about Captain Nemo and his futuristic submarine has been mined often. There have been other films, a mini-series for television, a cartoon, and we understand a new cinematic version is in the works for 2017. We have low expectations for that. In today's Hollywood environment, with its thirst for bland global blockbusters, its aversion to storytelling depth, and its addiction to mindless and often pointless computer graphics, Verne's great story could finally be ruined. But we shall see. We're pretty sure the promo poster won't be as good either.
Vintage Pulp | Dec 14 2016 |
It's Alain Delon again. We just saw him a couple of days ago and here he is in La motocyclette, aka The Girl on a Motorcycle. 1960's counterculture icon Marianne Faithfull stars in this experimental flick based on André Pieyre de Mandiargues' experimental novel as a woman torn between a life of security with her husband and a craving for adventure with her lover, Delon. She leaves her husband, takes a road trip across France to join Delon in Germany, and you get an introspective road movie with Faithfull riding across cheapie rear projection into a series of psychedelic interludes, her voiceover dutifully keeping us updated on her inner turmoil. Is it a pulp style movie? Not so much. Is it good? We wouldn't say that. But it had Delon in it so we thought we'd take a look, and we sure like the posters. La motocyclette opened in Japan today in 1970.
Vintage Pulp | Dec 12 2016 |
This Japanese poster was made for Le cercle rouge, a French heist movie starring Alain Delon, André Bourvil, Gian Maria Volontè, and Yves Montand. It's an excellent flick that uses a bizarre plot device—a newly paroled convict who's been talked into a jewel heist finds a criminal who's just escaped from custody hiding in the trunk of his car, and subsequently decides to team up with the guy on the jewel robbery.
There's more involved than just that, of course, but what are the odds of a criminal taking refuge in another criminal's car and turning out to be just the right partner for an upcoming robbery? We'd say it's possible only in writer-director Jean-Pierre Melville's imagination, but he makes this insane coincidence work. A third man completes the heist crew and off they go to make their big score. Or at least try. This is really good, hard-boiled stuff, with that French flair. Le cercle rouge opened in France in October 1970, and made it to Japan today the same year. The French poster above and right, by the way, looks mighty familiar. It's similar to one made for another very good Alain Delon crime movie, also centered around a jewel heist, 1969's Le clan des Siciliens. Well, don't mess with success.

Rock Progressivo Italiano • Italy
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
The brothers Salis, Antonio and Francesco from S.Giusta, Oristano in Sardinia, began their career in the first half of 60's under the name of Barrittas, releasing a bunch of singles until the end of the decade. Produced by their elder cousin Lucio, they changed name to Salis'n'Salis in 1969, but by the time their first album was released the name has changed again to Salis. Their debut album, Sa vida ita est, came in 1971, a very good mix of pop music and slightly progressive rock arrangements, but went totally unnoticed. In 1974 a second album was recorded, this was in fact a solo album by Antonio Salis; one of the first quadraphonic records from Italy, and released by EMI subsidiary CiPiTi, this was later re-released on the small local label La Strega, owned by Lucio Salis (that was also the lyricist for all the Salis songs). Again a lightweight pop/prog album, much more than the first, this had much in common with another group from Sardinia, Gruppo 2001. Antonio Salis was helped on the album by his brother Francesco and Gianni Serra on guitars, Dario Baldan Bembo on keyboards and drummers Andy Surdy and Furio Bozzetti. After five years a new quartet was formed, and a third album appeared, called Dopo il buio la luce. A totally different album from the previous two, this has a much more keyboard-led and prog-inspired sound, being almost entirely instrumental and with extended jazz-rock influenced parts like in the long Rapsodia per emigrazione and Dopo il buio...la luce. This last album is the best one for the progressive fans, but it wasn't successful and the group sadly disappeared again after 1980.

Salis Rock Progressivo Italiano
Review by Jeff Carney
Its value as a "prog" album was never its point in 1974, to be sure. Hence, to judge it within that context is surely insufficient.
This is an album full of gorgeous songwriting that will please just about any fan of acoustic guitar based rock songs. Backed by a fairly typical '70s arsenal of sonic goodness like organ, elec. piano, string synth, flute and restrained, melodic electric guitar, the thing here is the *songs*.
And the songs are damn good.
Very much rooted in the Italian song traditions that often seem to make the Italian scene so much deeper than what might be filed under "prog" decades after the fact, this is an album that shifts through a variety of moods with a logical flow that makes it album listening. However, I will say that the opening track, "Salis Adios," is positively addictive and might yield more repeated spins than the album as a whole. In fact, this album would probably be right on the 3.5 stars line for me and a debate might ensue as to whether 3 stars is a sufficient rating, but that opening track just crushes down any barrier and pushes it well toward a more appropriate 4 star rating.
Available from BTF and packaged in one of their mini lp sleeves, tapes are presumably lost as this is nicely mastered from vinyl. And it really sounds quite nice. Great, laid back listening.

Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator
Surprisingly the album contains all the basic fundamentals of the Italian Prog scene despite being release at a time when Progressive Rock was just shadow of the past.The style is split between great Symphonic Rock passages and virtuosic Jazz-Rock performances, being largely instrumental with only some space for vocals on ''Diablo'' and the closing ''Yankee Go Home''.''Dopo il buio la luce'' offers plenty of great breaks and technical interplays, heavily based on Lotta's keyboards and Francesco Salis' guitars with an alternation between parts with a romantic flavor and professional music textures with a technical diversity.The guitars have a strong jazzy taste overall with some fantastic solos througout, while Lotta is willing to offer a varied work of jazzy electric pianos, symphonic moog synths and great piano interludes.Especially the rich interplays follow one another with a termendous ability by the group to create memorable tunes, often supported by an orchestral grandieur.The overall sound of the band resembles to the lines of acts from early to mid-70's and a mix between the aesthetics of FOCUS, GENESIS, BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI and RETURN TO FOREVER seems like a good description.
Salis did not escape the luck of all those late-70's progressive groups and split up a year later.The two brothers continiued being part of the music industry and also released the tape ''Signora del porto'' in 1988, featuring re-recordings of old compositions, along with a brand new CD work in 2003 entitled ''Statue e fiori''.Unfortunately death would separate them, as Francesco sadly passed away in 2007.
Among the greatest Italian Prog material ever to be recorded during the second half of the 70's, ''Dopo il buio la luce'' is an album full of great inspirational moments and different imaginative colors, always stuffed with the familiar Italian atmosphere.Highly recommended.

At GlassWerks, we provide stellar auto glass and home glass services.
Insurance or not, at our shop, your workplace or your home, we will work hard to take the stress out of glass repair, replacement or any other glass services you need.
Auto Glass Services
Auto Glass Replacement
Our expert technicians can replace any kind of auto glass: front windshields, door glass, vent glass, quarter glass, back glass or the rear windshields.
As a quick rule of thumb, if the damage to your auto glass has any of the following attributes, you are most likely going to need a complete auto glass replacement. The characteristics include:
- Damage on the inside of the auto glass
- Deep damage on both the outer and inner layer of glass
- Cracks which have allowed contamination in, whether water or chemical
Auto Glass Repair
Auto glass repair is a safe and efficient way to restore the structural integrity of the glass as well as that of your vehicle. You and your loved ones are much safer following the repair, and your field of vision will be restored.
Fortunately, windshield repair is both easy and fast, often completed in 30 minutes or less. Most insurance companies will cover the cost of windshield repair.
Other Auto Glass Services
Besides repair and replacement, we also do a few other things.
Aquapel is a hydrophobic auto glass coating which keeps your windshield perfectly clear, but when it rains, the coating forces water droplets together so they become large and collect dirt while they roll down the windshield. At GlassWerks, we can apply this treatment to your auto glass.
We can also repair and replace tractor-trailer, farm tractor as well as RV glass!
Home Glass Services
At GlassWerks, our home glass services include repair and replacement of a huge variety of glass, including: mirrors; tabletop glass; glass shelving; storm windows; insulated glass; laminated safety glass; and, picture frame glass! Our services also cover window and door screens.
Either bring it to us, or we can come to you!

Conor and Grace are twins, recently orphaned after their widowed father's death.
Rather than being adopted by the town's busy-bodies, they decide to set sail in their father's last possession, his sailing boat.
But a vicious storm sees their boat capsize and the twins are separated.
Two mysterious ships sail to their rescue - each picking up one twin before disappearing into the mist.
Conor wakes to find himself on a pirate ship and is soon being trained up with a cutlass.
Meanwhile Grace finds herself locked in a darkened room, as the vampirates wait for night to fall and their feasting to begin...Determined to find each other, yet intrigued by their new shipmates, the twins are about to embark on the biggest adventure of their lives...

Review by Clurb
Vampires. And pirates. Two genres that mash really quite surprisingly well. I'm enjoying this series and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Review by Squeex
I have just found a new-to-me favorite series and author and likely the narrator, too. I had so much fun listening to this first in the VAMPIRATES series and cannot wait to listen to the next in the series, TIDE OF TERROR, I hope it's next up on Recorded Books wishlist.This is the perfect book to listen to for anyone, even though it's supposed to be a YA paranormal. The world-building is very cool and I like that it's a future that isn't overwhelmingly bleak like a lot of futuristic venues tend to lean on. It's vampires and pirates and all that that entails....blood and fighting on the high seas and the gritty pirate pubs with wenches. There are good-hearted pirates and bad. And Daniel Philpott gives just as fab voice to the fab written characters. Nothing too over the top, just right over the top. I have the image of a vampire Captain Jack Sparrow in my cranium as I listened to some of the vampirates...and obviously this is not a bad thing if you know me at all. *grin*If you'd like to see a super interview with Justin Somper, the author, here's the site over at BittenByBooks. He's just as nifty as the books he writes. Five more please vampirates beans....
Review by ArkhamReviews
Although a lot of time is spent setting the stage for future novels, not an awful lot seems to happen in this one.The half of the story set on the ordinary pirate ship isn't that bad, and actually allowed Connor to receive a fair bit of development. The characters in these chapters are far more memorable than their Vampire counterparts and I actually would have been happier if the novel purely focused on them.The Vampirate chapters seemed a lot weaker, as it takes Grace a long time to figure out the secrets of her crew (spending most of the novel confined to one room) and so these quickly become repetitive and dull.The novel feels a lot like a prologue for the rest of the series, as its ending is sudden and abrupt with no real sense of closure. I hope that this means that future novels will carry on from this and give the characters the development that they deserve.

How to check your electrical system is safe
There are some tell-tale signs that your system is out of date and unsafe to work on (old-style rubber-sheathed cable, for example). But even if you live in a modern house with an electrical system that's been professionally checked and approved in the past ten years, things can still go wrong. So make sure it's safe before you begin work.
If you're in any doubt, get it checked by a qualified electrician.

Hello Beauties!
Finally I am back with some thrifted goodies I discovered in my favorite Goodwill down the street from my campus. Every time I walk into this store, they never disappoint me. For the longest I have been scouring the web for a faux leather skirt that was both affordable and fit well. What was I thinking, Goodwill should have been my first target place to search for this kind of clothing. That's exactly what happened when I walked near the skirt section, it was just hanging there saying, "Chakayla, BUY ME NOW!" Get this, it was a only $3.75, so you all know I was a happy camper! One thing though, the skirt is two sizes too big, but I plan on getting it tailored before winter.
Along with my amazing faux leather skirt, I found this amazing pair of earrings under some tangled necklaces. As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to have them, especially since they were only $1.00. When on a budget, Goodwill is always my go to place! The item that topped my day off were these tribal print pants that fit me AMAZINGLY, as if they were made for me and magically appeared in Goodwill. I scored these cute pants for $3.75 as well, you definitely can't beat that!
Check out the receipt my loves, I spent all of $9.07! Barely spent any dough when adding these items to my wardrobe!
Here is a clothing option I had in mind for my faux leather skirt. With the fall approaching, I decided to pair my skirt with nylon knee highs and my ASOS booties I got about 2 weeks ago. Once I find a vintage chain blouse like the one above, I will tuck it inside this skirt and top off the look with a pair of statement stud earrings. I would probably wear this on a date with my beau or even to class, I'm just that daring!
What have you ladies found from your local second-hand clothing stores?

If you're driving the US Highway 101 coastal route, stop off for a stay at one of Santa Barbara's hotels with a pool. Swim away the drive then enjoy a few days exploring all that Santa Barbara has to offer.
A temperate Mediterranean climate and over 300 days of sunshine a year, it's no surprise that Santa Barbara, the chic beach city on the California coast, is known as the American Riviera. Thanks to its temperate climes, the majority of Santa Barbara's hotels have outdoor pools to cool off in.
Santa Barbara Hotels with Pools
From budget roadside motels to international chain hotels around East Beach, Santa Barbara has many hotels with outdoor pools. Head east to Carpinteria for low-key motels within easy reach of the coast's beautiful beaches.
For luxury beach resorts with infinity pools and spas, head to the chic suburb of Montecito.
Stay near Santa Barbara's Beaches
Santa Barbara has many white-sand beaches and popular surf spots. Book a hotel in the sleepy surf town of Carpinteria and head to Carpinteria State Beach, which claims to be one of the safest beaches in the country thanks to its clean sands and shallow, reef-protected waters. Surfers looking for an adventure should head to nearby Rincon Beach, famous for its world-class waves.
Highlights of a Stay in Santa Barbara
Pools and beaches aside, Santa Barbara has stacks of mission-era history. Take a few hours to explore the legendary Mission Santa Barbara, a pink-and-cream church with an interesting mission museum and a Chumash art gallery. Or learn more about local Chumash history at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
After a day of sightseeing or beach hopping, head back to your Santa Barbara hotel for a dip in the pool, before venturing out to Stearns Wharf, the historic wooden pier lined with popular seafood restaurants.
When you've spent enough time in your hotel's pool, make your way down Highway 101 to the Casitas Water Park or drive inland to Six Flag Hurricane Harbor for a day of waterslides, lazy rivers and water fun.

Malware authors are quick to make use of any new opportunity they get for spreading their nefarious software. The launch of Windows 8 is like a black jack for them. Within days of the launch, fake Windows 8 antivirus programs are already on the web, trying to trick Windows 8 users into installing them.
In the past, a number of large-scale malware rings have been foiled by the authorities. But the frequency with which such software hit the web has not dithered, to say the least. On the contrary, the pace with which new malware crop up has only hastened.
This is manifest in the fact that Windows 8 was launched only a few days ago. And we already have a malware pretending to be the official antivirus for the OS. The timing couldn't have been more perfect for such a malware. Windows 8 is currently sold at a rate of 1 million per day and it will soon be used by users all around the globe.
Thankfully, security firms were quick to spot the new entry in the malware arena. Trend Micro detected the malware which is named 'TROJ_FAKEAV.EHM' by the Security System of Windows 8. The malware makes use of a rather old trick: it pretends to give fake scanning results showing security threats and advises the user to download an antivirus program which, in fact, is meant to infect the machine.
According to Trend Micro, "It is typical for cybercriminals to piggyback on the highly-anticipated release of any latest technology to take their malware, spam, malicious app to new heights. To stay safe, users must keep their cool and think twice before clicking links or visiting webpages, especially those that promise the latest items or programs for free. If it's too good to be true – it probably is."
So if you are among the early Windows 8 adopters, be sure not to fall for such tricks and to download only the authentic security programs from the official websites of well-known vendors.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation was warmly received on CBC's Dragon's Den for proposing $20 billion in tax relief. Buzz Hargrove, former head of the Canadian Auto Worker's Union, told the Dragons not to listen to the CTF and instead to spend money on everything in sight, including the auto sector. Dragon Kevin O'Leary called the Big 3 "losers" that didn't deserve help. Below, see Kevin Gaudet's presentation for the CTF and beneath that, Hargrove.

Tax Relief not Auto Bailouts: Dragon's Den
Posted by Lee Harding at 4:01 PM
Labels: auto sector bailout, CBC, CTF

Mr Hargrove showed up woefully underprepared.
But one thing that bemused me a little was one Dragon's objection that Canadians would save tax relief, or use it to pay down debt.
As I understand it -- correct me if I'm wrong -- the current financial crisis is predicated on defaults on various debts.
Under those conditions, one would expect that the repayment of debt would be a positive thing in the current market (or any market). Beyond that, consumers carrying lower debt loads have more reason for confidence. - 12:38 AM

i got 107 out of 240 in manipal (engg)....what rank shud i expect??
However, I can not provide the exact values but can give approx value. You have scored 107 out of 240 in your ENAT entrance. This is not a good score, cadidates having minimum 100 were eligible to appear for counselling last year and your score is 107 so you are right at the bottom, therefore your expected ran would be greater then 8,000.And with 107 if appeared for Engineering you can not expect any good branches. Only branches like- Industrial production, Instrumentation and control will be available for you. If appeared for Medical then hope is almost Nil to fetch a seat there.
I hope that you would have tried to strive hardto cross the bar, but it could not be attained..no issues...rest assured as there are many other reputed institutions where you can seek admission and pursue your engineering – International Inst of Info and Tech, BhubneshwarLovely Professional University,PhagwaraRungta College of Engg and Tech, BhilaiOP Jindal Uni, raigarh

12 Jul Beyond Integration: How Teachers Can Encourage Cross-Racial Friendships
July 12, 2016By: Kendra Yoshinaga
Source: npr.org
There's a reason Jose Luis Vilson's students learn in groups: He wants them to feel comfortable working with anyone in the classroom, something he's realized in his 11 years of teaching doesn't always come naturally.
"I don't really give students a chance to self-select until later on, when I feel like they can pretty much group with anybody," he says.
Vilson teaches math at a public middle school just north of Harlem in New York City. Most of his students are Latino and African-American, and Vilson pays close attention to the fact that their racial identities affect their experiences in the classroom.
Children entering adolescence, he knows, are less likely to maintain cross-racial friendships as they grow older. But teachers like him may be able to help change that, according to a new study led by researchers from New York University.
In past decades, it's become increasingly clear that diversity in classrooms isn't just a buzzword. A growing body of research points to classroom diversity as an important aspect of childhood development. Kids who make friends with kids of other races tend to be more socially well-adjusted, more academically ambitious and better at interacting with people who are different from them.
The NYU researchers knew of these findings and wondered if just putting kids of different races in classrooms together is enough to foster lasting connections. Their hypothesis was that, as kids grow into early adolescence, they increase their same-race friendships and decrease their cross-race friendships.
So they looked at data from the Early Adolescent Development Study (EADS), a longitudinal survey where researchers questioned more than 500 elementary- and middle-schoolers over the course of two academic years: fall 1996 to spring 1998. The students in the study all went to school in one district in the American Northeast where the racial makeup of each of their classrooms was roughly half black and half white.
And the researchers were right, says Elise Cappella, head of the project: "Cross-race friendships diminish over the course of one academic year; same-race friendships increase." The finding bore out among all of the students in the study, particularly those who were older and/or white.
Integration, she says, "[is] a very important step" to fostering cross-race connections. "But it's not the only step."
This is where teachers like Vilson can have an impact. All of those group activities he encourages in his classroom, he hopes, will help students learn to learn from each other.
The difference comes down to the kind of environment teachers created: Did students collaborate with one another, or did they compete?
"Teachers who were warm and responsive to students' needs and created a classroom context characterized by respect and trust — in those classrooms, students had lower increases in same-race friendships over the course of that year," Cappella says.
In other words, students who started the year with cross-race friendships were more likely to keep them throughout the year with the help of a friendly teacher.
The third-, fourth- and fifth-graders in this sample, Cappella says, are just entering the age where they start to become more self-conscious. "Sometimes, during those times, you begin to associate with people who you think may have shared identities as you as a way of building an understanding of who you are," she says.
Teachers who build supportive atmospheres "[allow] students to get to know one another across differences," Cappella says. "And when you get to know each other across differences, you see other kinds of similarities that may be more hidden as well."
It's relatively rare to find classrooms that look like the ones profiled in the EADS: more or less an even split between black and white students. Vilson's classroom doesn't look like that, but he says that cross-cultural contact in school will help his students outside the classroom.
"The real world is such that people have to find a way to get along with each other, but also work with each other," he says. "There's a lot of value in actually getting to know different people — how they work and what their values are and what their experiences are."
