Such, then, is the difficulty caused to Jack Rowell, whose managership has been mainly frustration, by his proper insistence that England find the means to play a rugby of dynamic movement rather than the attrition that likewise had served them so well. Last month's defeat by South Africa appears to have exploded a few more theories.
One is that Mike Catt is the one to exploit the threequarter resources so often left underexploited, at any rate for the time being. "We have not given up on Mike Catt at outside-half," Rowell suggested when the announcement was made before England trained at Marlow.
Catt reverts - one might say is relegated - to full-back to accommodate Paul Grayson in half-back unison with his Northampton partner, Matthew Dawson. Lawrence Dallaglio is the third newcomer; having impressed on his brief debut as a replacement blind-side flanker against the Springboks, he will play on the open side where he has now undertaken to play for Wasps.
Graham Rowntree's claim to be loose-head prop could no longer be withstood, leaving the choice at tight head between moving Jason Leonard across or Victor Ubogu staying put. After the strictures to which Rowell subjected Ubogu before the South Africa match, this was not too hard a choice.
Quite apart from the general uncertainty about how a new-look - though, according to Rowell, not experimental - team will go, there remains one specific uncertainty. After two yellow cards, Mark Regan is due before the Gloucestershire disciplinary committee on Tuesday; if, as is probable, he is suspended, Graham Dawe will come in for his fifth cap at hooker.
Grayson is a 24-year-old Lancastrian, who has been playing rugby only six years and was once a semi-professional footballer with Accrington Stanley. He played himself into this team with his performance for the Midlands against the Samoans last Saturday. His accurate place-kicking was critical in the decision to discard Jonathan Callard, though Grayson would never have been selected without his perceived capacity to launch a back line.
Curiously, Grayson was not known as a running outside-half until Northampton went into the Second Division this season and started beating everyone by 50 points. He first came to public attention by kicking Bath to a famous cup defeat by Waterloo three years ago and did little to dispel the negative impression after he became a Saint.
Dawson, on the other hand, demonstrated his pedigree from the moment he came into the Northampton side, even when he was having to play out of position in the centre. Rowell said that he would probably have displaced Kyran Bracken whatever had happened when Samoa played the Midlands; in which case his exquisite personal contribution provided the most handsome endorsement the manager could have wished.
Rodber's mediocre showing before he departed the Springbok Test implied he was the one under pressure from Dallaglio but as soon as he was restored to fitness and then form - again against the Samoans for the Midlands - the attention shifted to Andy Robinson, mercilessly relegated to the bench (along with the other three discards) after winning his first cap in six years.

My Học Mãii four week clinical experience in Hanoi promised to be a wonderful opportunity to improve my medical knowledge and skills, as well as to form friendships with Vietnamese health care workers.
The scholarship not only exceeded my expectations in these key areas, but also offered me the opportunity to form relationships with allied health care workers back home and to gain an insight into the Vietnamese culture and way of life.
The four weeks I spent in Bach Mai Hospital - one of the largest in Vietnam - provided me with a chance to complement the last two years of predominantly university based learning with an extended period of clinical exposure. I was able to observe a wide range of medical procedures and clinical care, particularly in the area of surgery. Continued...
Lauren Hammer
The Học Mãi scholarship to Viêt Nam was an invaluable learning experience for me. I feel I have gained a wealth of new knowledge and understanding and achieved all of my objectives for the placement and more. As well as fantastic medical teaching, I have had insight to circumstances that challenged my thoughts on health equity, medical ethics and responsibility. These experiences have shed new light on my view of patient care and will make me a better doctor. I was provided with ample opportunity to gain surgical experience in Việt Đức hospital. This experience has opened my eyes to new specialties that I thoroughly enjoyed. At Việt Đức hospital, I also saw the traumatic outcome of Viêt Nam's primary public health problem; motorbike accidents. This allowed me to have the opportunity to address one of my main objectives of the scholarship; to explore my interest in surgery and public health. Continued...
Catherine Pham
As a recipient of a Hoc Mai Foundation scholarship, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend four weeks of my Elective Term at the National Hospital of Paediatrics (NHP) in Hanoi. My time was primarily spent with the surgical department, however I did have the chance to visit other departments around the hospital to gain a deeper insight into medical practice in Viet Nam. This leg of my elective ran from July 20th to August 14th 2009, that is, during the Hanoian summer. Continued...

Tamara Rickersey and Paula Conroy
We have just spent four weeks at the Tu Du Maternity Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. It was an inspiring and eye-opening experience and we are grateful to have been given the opportunity from TuDu Hospital, the Hoc Mai Foundation and the Northern Clinical School to be able work in such an incredible environment.
Tu Du Hospital Delivery Suite staff attends to approximately 200 deliveries per day and over 70,000 each year. It was in the engine room of this amazing machine, the delivery department, that we spent our time for this placement. We were overseen by Madame Trinh, the Head Midwife of the department and midwife extraordinaire and were very fortunate to have such a wonderful tutor teach us about the practice of obstetrics and gynaecology in Vietnam. Ms Trinh was a 2007 Hoc Mai Foundation/AusAID Fellowship recipient.
From day 1, we were made to feel extremely welcome and were encouraged to get involved in all aspects of the delivery process. The numerous midwifes, midwifery student, doctors and medical students were happy to teach us the art of delivery at Tu Du as well as immediate post-natal care for both mother and baby.
The overall experience has made us more confident in the practice of obstetrics and gynaecology and has also taught us much about the Vietnamese culture – we are very grateful to the Hoc Mai Foundation for this opportunity.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: Both my husband and myself, Kathy and Doug Johnston, are from Canada. We have been coming to the Panama City Beach area for the last 15 years and have always wanted to retire here. We had been keeping our eye open for a house to purchase for our retirement. We finally found it! So close to the beach! In a wonderful relaxing area of town. With the large project of fully gutting and renovating the house to our standards finally complete in early 2010 we decided to rent the property out during the times we will not be there. Being snowbirds we only come in the winter months.
Why the Owner Chose Crescent Beach, Lower Grand Lagoon, FL, USA:
We absolutely love Panama City Beach and the wonderful laid back feel of the area.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Location, Location, Location. Only steps to the beautiful beach and great views.

Jimmy Kimmel asked kids to name the greatest country in the world on Thursday's show, and some of the answers might surprise you, because it wasn't always the United States.
Then again, the answers weren't always actual countries, either, but France and Japan got some recognition from the little tykes who participated in the survey.
Why France over the USA? "Because there's usually a lot of cute poodles there, and I like poodles," one girl said.
See Video: Jimmy Kimmel Renames Best Picture Nominees to Solve Oscars Diversity Problem
One little boy claimed New York is the best country in the world, "because you can ice skate," which is sound logic for someone his age.
The rest of the country clearly needs to step up its ice skating game.

Companies should plan now to minimise their pension protection levy
The amount that pension schemes have to pay to the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) for the year 2006/07 may have increased by as much as five times the previous year's levy. Employers who ultimately bear the cost of many pension schemes will need to make plans now to ensure the levy payable for the year 2008/09 is kept to a minimum.- Stephenson Harwood

California child care employers:
Did you know that California labor law requires that day care workers be paid at least twice per month? You can provide paychecks more often than that (weekly, for example), but not less than two times in every month.
Some child care providers pay their employees once a month, but this is not allowed for typical day care workers.
Monthly checks are allowed only for workers classified as executive, administrative, or professional employees. If you hire credentialed teachers, you may be able to pay monthly, according to the professional exemption specified by the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE).

Smoothstar Skate Boards
Designer: Smoothstar
Free Shipping Over $100
SmoothStar is the #1 best surf trainer, voted by the best surf coaches all over the world.
For a long time SmoothStar has been known to Australian Surfers as the best surf training product outside the water. However, unless you have tried a SmoothStar, it is hard to understand why it feels so much like surfing.
The SmoothStar product replicates the surf feel because the front truck has a special turning device called the SmoothStar Thruster. The Thruster makes the front of the board loose so the board can turn and drive off the back trucks – the same as you would with surfboard rails and fins… the feel is "rail-to-rail" surfing on land.
The Thruster is so unique and so realistic like surfing that we have had to spend a lot of money to protect our innovation with patents. The turns are not sharp, floppy or stiff – they are "Smooth" but as radical as you want them to be and that is why we call it "SmoothStar".

Right, so 32 residents went to the effort of objecting but the local ward Councillor is quite happy to take the landlord's assurances as to what will happen afterwards?

The back street Ann Lane is on private land.
The paving and tarmacking been paid for by Housing Regeneration Project money procured by the residents association.
The cleaning and maintenance is paid for by the residents living on Ann Lane.
It is not a public highway.
An exit cannot be built at the back on Ann Lane for the use of the pub's patrons.
Ann Lane is private land. - Anonymous9 August 2016 at 12:12
The pavement of Ann Lane at the back of the pub has been specifically designed so that the many elderly and disabled residents in the area can have continuous and safe access straight from Milman Street to Kings Road.
It is used by the elderly residents of Elizabeth Court private residence, the sheltered accommodation in Milman Street and other disabled residents in the area. Specially those who use wheelchairs.
It is safe, accessible and comfortable for these vulnerable residents.
Opening up a pub exit at the back onto Ann lane will obstruct the accessibility of the pavement.
Councillor Simmonds is obviously intent in undoing all the wonderful work that voluntary groups undertake in the community. - Anonymous9 August 2016 at 12:21
The police have closed all the back exits of the pub through the years except for one exit at the front on Kings Road.
This is to combat the drug dealing, drug taking ,the selling of stolen goods and the drunken violence that occur on a daily basis.

Much has been written about this Councillor's irregular behaviour.
Why is there no standards committee investigation ?RepliesCllr Simmonds has been exposed by the Dame as a person who essentially occupies her position to serve herself. For too long, the Royal Borough, and especially the ruling Tory Party, has been prepared to tolerate such people. Cllr Fielding-Mellen and his property consultancy is another example. Cllr Warrick and his planning machinations is yet another. At an even less significant end of the scale is the tiny fly and Campden councillor, Cllr Faulks. And of course Cllr Weale who famously said that her consultation style is "to listen but not to hear".
The hornets will continue to expose these individuals until they are weeded out and residents are rid of the baggage.
For good reason, Cockle and Phelps were hounded out of public life in Kensington and Chelsea. The other charlatans need to take note.- Anonymous10 August 2016 at 09:32

The elderly gentleman (late 70's early 80's) who had clearly made every effort to look very smart, had taken up the seat behind the DIVA, within a second of his sitting down, she turned her head and he was greeted by her loud shrill voice:
"Take that hat off!" in a scolding like manner.
"Don't you know its not good etiquette to wear a hat in doors and you are at a meeting"
The elderly gentleman slowly removed his hat.
The DIVA then said:
"Well done, there you are, Ill always show you the way, stick with me!"
The elderly gentleman was then told:
"I hope you are voting for the TMO"
I sympathised with the elderly gentleman whilst we stood in the queue for tea at hist treatment, he was lost for words, he just shrugged and looked on at the coffee cups.
SHAME ON YOU Councillor Condon-Simmonds, please try to learn to treat people with RESPECT, that includes children, the elderly and the vulnerable, the very constituents that you claim to represent!

Zachery Peacock made two free throws with 3.2 seconds remaining and No. 19 Georgia Tech knocked off another ranked team, beating No. 17 Clemson 66-64 on Tuesday night.
ATLANTA — Up until Clemson held its shootaround Tuesday morning, junior point guard Demontez Stitt didn't think he was going to play.
Little would anyone have imagined that Stitt would wind up the last player out of the 17th-ranked Tigers' locker room late that night, downtrodden and lamenting a pair of missed opportunities to be the hero.
But for the second time in as many months, a Clemson team was unable to keep Georgia Tech from mounting a final game-winning drive, culminating in two free throws with 3.2 seconds left that lifted the No. 19 Yellow Jackets to a 66-64 victory at Alexander Memorial Coliseum.
"There was a call on the other end that we didn't get, but on the road, you have to expect that," Stitt said.
With the chance to post their best ACC start through five games since the 1996-97 season, the Tigers (15-4, 3-2 ACC) suffered the same frustrating fate as their football brethren did in last month's football conference title game.
Senior forward Trevor Booker tallied a game-high 19 points and nine rebounds as Clemson recovered from a nine-point deficit early in the second half to make it a back-and-forth affair the final 14 minutes.
Georgia Tech (14-4, 3-2) relied on the dunking and offensive rebounding muscle of its two big men, 6-foot-9 center Gani Lawal and 6-10 touted freshman Derrick Favors. Lawal had 17 points and 14 rebounds, while Favors finished with 16 points and 10 boards.
Those two combined to go 15-of-23 from the floor; the rest of the Yellow Jackets went 11-for-43 (25.6 percent).
Yet with the outcome looking as if it would be decided by which post players missed the fewest free throws — both teams shot 50 percent — Clemson's three-game winning streak was snapped by a pair of foul shots from 6-8, 235-pound senior Zach Peacock, who hit the game-winning basket in the Yellow Jackets' 73-71 win at No. 24 North Carolina on Saturday.
"It really is a shame we didn't win," coach Oliver Purnell said. "They were physically handling us — and that's not a surprise, they can handle most teams — but we played through that.
"Our guys don't have anything to hang their heads about. They came on the road against a hot team and put ourselves in position to win. It just didn't happen."
It almost did, though. A traveling call gave Clemson possession with 25.9 seconds left and the score tied at 64.
So Purnell put the ball in the hands of Stitt, who had been pegged as unlikely to play barring emergency because of a sprained left foot suffered Saturday.
Stitt scored 10 points and played a team-high 36 minutes as his backup, Andre Young, labored through the effects of a stomach virus.
Stitt, who aggravated the sprain on a slashing layup with 2:10 remaining, drove off a high Booker screen with 12 seconds to go.
He lost his dribble as he steered into an open lane — he said a Georgia Tech player grabbed his arm, causing him to lose control — and the ball caromed off his leg and out of bounds to give the Yellow Jackets possession with 9.2 seconds left.
After calling timeout at halfcourt with 5.1 seconds remaining, the Yellow Jackets threw the ball in to Peacock, who was guarded by 6-8 center Jerai Grant.
Peacock drove left from the 3-point line to the foul line, and Booker sagged off his man to converge on Peacock. Booker was then whistled for a reach-in foul, sending Peacock — at 84 percent, the team's best foul shooter — to the line for two.
"It wasn't a foul, and that's all I have to say," Booker said. Purnell also declined to comment on the call.
Peacock made both, and Clemson called timeout to diagram its final play.
Stitt began with the ball but threw it across the baseline to Grant, and Stitt took off down the floor.
Grant lobbed it to halfcourt, giving two Georgia Tech's defenders on Clemson's side of the floor time to meet the play head-on.
The ball jostled in a scrum as time expired, precluding the Tigers from mounting momentum heading into Saturday's 9 p.m. home rematch with No. 7 Duke, which routed Clemson 74-53 earlier this month.
"It's definitely not the way we wanted to go out," guard Tanner Smith said.

Starting with the class of 2010 players like quarterback Barry Brunetti, 6-2, 210 pound quarterback from Memphis-University School will be one of the top players to watch for in 2009. Brunetti led his Owls team to a state championship with an outstanding junior season compiling over 1000 yards passing and 600 yards rushing. Brunetti will be one of the most sought after prospects in the state already reporting visits from Tennessee and Georgia.
Another prospect to make the all state team is class of 2010 prospect Jaques Smith from Ooltewah (Tenn.). Smith will not only be one of the most sought after prospects in Tennessee, but possibly the entire nation. His speed, agility, and strength make him a very good outside linebacker with a solid ability to play in pass coverage and pressure the quarterback.
Class of 2011 running back prospect Justin Williams from Nashville-Davidson Academy is another young prospect on the All State team. Williams set himself apart in 2008 while rushing for 2807 yards and 39 touchdowns. The sky seems to be the limit for this running back prospect as he hopes to make a name for himself.
Another prospect for the class of 2011 prospect making the 5A All State Team is Knoxville-Bearden running back Devrin Young. In 2008, Young helped lead his Bulldog team to an eight win season while putting up 1372 yards and 17 touchdowns. Young hopes to carry on his skills into his junior and senior seasons in order to possible land some scholarship offers.
The state is loaded with talent for the class of 2011. Another top prospect is class 4A All State quarterback Darian Stone, 6-1, 185 pounds from Clinton (Tenn.) In just his sophomore season Stone racked up 1793 yards passing, 19 touchdowns to just four interceptions. Stone is a dual threat quarterback as he added, 826 yards rushing and seven touchdowns.
For class 2A All State Team the Tornadoes from Alcoa (Tenn.) once again contributed a top prospect on the team. Defensive end/tight end prospect Tyler Robinson, 6-3, 225 pounds from Alcoa should expect to have a busy winter and spring filled with visitors and combine performances.

When it comes to throwing a party, teens are concerned about having a party that guests talk about for days, while parents want to throw a safe party that will not break the bank. Before choosing a party theme, parents should work with teens to set a budget, create a guest list, and establish some ground rules for the party. Once these details are planned, set teens free to plan the rest of the party.
Dance Parties
Dance parties provide an upbeat party theme. Throw a dance party by renting out a local dance club and hiring a popular DJ or local band to provide the entertainment. If renting a venue is too expensive, clear out a room in the house and purchase black lights to add ambiance to the room. During the party, stage a dance-off to allow guests to show off their dancing skills or hold a karaoke competition. Parents of younger teens will want to supervise the dancing to make sure teens of the opposite sex do not get too close or dance inappropriately.
Pool Parties
Pool parties provide a way to cool off during the summer. Hold the party in a backyard with a pool or rent out a local pool. In the winter months, rent an indoor pool. Serve hamburgers, hot dogs and other picnic food. Provide guests with squirt guns to use inside and outside the pool. Play water volleyball and hold diving competitions. Hire a DJ to play near the pool and create a more energetic mood.
Sports Parties
For boys, sports parties provide a chance to be active. Hold the party at a local park and play a game of kickball, soccer, football, basketball or baseball. Take a group of friends bowling or to play laser tag or rent out a paintball park for some messy fun. For a less active party, buy tickets for a block of seats at a local college game or a minor league baseball game.
Casino Parties
Most teenagers want to feel sophisticated and older. A casino party will help teenagers feel like adults. Set up card tables for different casino games such as blackjack, poker and roulette. Bring in family members and friends to act as dealers. Give teens play money to use for the night and set up an auction where teens use their winnings to bid on party favors such as popular DVDs, CDs, jewelry and electronic equipment. Serve punch in champagne classes and fancy hors d'oeuvres to make teens feel more sophisticated.

"40 Jahre Disco, Vol. 2: Dance The Disco" delivers a great selection of live performances from some of the hottest artists on the scene including Lipps, Inc., Amanda Lear, John Paul Young… Needless to say more - these names speak for themselves…
"40 Jahre Disco"! Just as usual, Dance The Disco of this very popular compilation series presents disco classics of the 70s/80s and if you love disco or dance music then you will love this CD and this genre is very big today. Enjoy listening to Gloria Gaynor, Lipps Inc., Donna Summer, Blondie, Anita Ward.
Dee Mullins kicked around Texan independent labels such as Pappy Daily's D Records before Shelby Singleton signed him to his Nashville independent SSS – later Plantation Records – in 1967, having Mullins sing the answer song "The Continuing Story of Harper Valley P.T.A." to the label's first big hit from Jeannie C. Riley. "The Continuing Story" provides the title for this 2009 compilation from Omni Records, a compilation that rounds up a generous 27 tracks that stretch all the way from 1959 to 1978, but focus on those hippie-era oddities from SSS and Plantation, pushing all 16 of those cuts toward the front. If any country music could be called psychedelic, this is it: Singleton surrounded Mullins with vocal effects, sitars, and fuzz guitars, creating genuinely odd music ranging from the eerie and unsettling ("I Am the Grass") to the absurd ("Beers").
This 18-track compilation includes everything from Kiki Dee's early-'70s Motown album Great Expectations, as well as two additional tracks from her time with the label that surfaced on the rare budget Kiki Dee album in the mid-'70s, along with four previously unreleased 1969-1970 outtakes. While it's good to have this fairly rare material thoughtfully combined into one package, it reinforces the sense that neither Motown nor Dee realized the potential from their unusual association.

An insight to the nonextensive parameter in the actual gas

Abstract The ideal gas has been reinvestigated in the framework of Tsallis nonextensive statistics, which can be called nonextensive gas. According to the modified thermodynamic relationships, and applying the nonextensive gas model to analyze actual gas, the relationship between the nonextensive parameter and the second virial coefficient can be deduced. On the other hand, this coefficient can also be expressed as the integration of interaction potential between the molecules of actual gas. This indicates that the nonextensive parameter may be related to the interaction potential. Our further analysis to the relation seems to imply that the nonextensive parameter is irrelevant to the thermodynamic temperature of the gas.

Carolyn Porterfield and Natalie Price are in Southeast Texas this week with people doing mission work there during Spring Break. Carolyn sends this dispatch from their trip. As soon as we can, we'll post some photos from their trip as well.
It is spring break and thousands of students are enjoying the cool, clear weather. In Galveston this week I've seen two very different kinds of spring break experiences. One is students enjoying the sand and surf on the beach. The other is of students and adults who have chosen to come and help rebuild people's homes and churches that were devastated by Hurricane Ike last September. I've watched fences being built, sheetrock being hung, walls being painted, stories being told by puppets at a park, and all of it done in the love of Christ. Ask them why they do it and you get different answers.
"It's cool to change lives." "These people are our neighbors." "You can come and just do nothing or you can come and make a difference." One girl talked about losing her own home near Houston and how it felt to loose everything. But then she said, "I remember how people came and helped us and it is good to give back."
Pastors whose homes and church buildings have been damaged are so appreciative of all the help. Bro. Leonardo Diaz kept praising God for every person who has worked on Primera Iglesia Bautista, Hitchcock and for the money that has been donated. This church didn't have any insurance and they were committed to not go in debt to repair their building. The repair is almost complete and done debt free. With a big grin on his face Bro. Diaz says, "God built this building" and you it's the truth.
Bro. Ray Meador at First Baptist Church, Galveston also speaks of the help that so many have given. They still cannot meet in their sanctuary but God is blessing the church as they rebuild and reach out to their community. GraceMart provides clothing, household items, and love to people who are needing help. Right after the storm attendance was small but now they are running around 200 in worship and really need a larger space to meet.
Is it possible that Ike has been a blessing in disguise? Several think so and I'm coming to believe that myself as I witness people working together from all over Texas and around the United States. David from Ft. Worth said, "I've gotten to know people from my own church by doing this work that I never really knew and we went to church together all the time. Three days ago I didn't know the guys I'm working with today and now they are my good friends."
The last thing that strikes me is that I don't hear grumbling and complaining. Rather, it is words of gratitude and praise that flow from the hearts and lips of God's people — those that need help and those who are obedient in their service. I want to learn from these I've seen this week. Can't wait to get over to Beaumont tomorrow to hear those stories and see God at work.

And it is a fairly challenging production we're given the chance to re-experience on this occasion. Not that the music is extraordinary inventive as such, but it has been made and produced in a manner that will make it a taxing experience for most listeners.
Basically there are two different aspects to this bands compositions. On one hand you have relatively dampened, melodic sequences, where a mildly resonating light toned guitars caters for the main thematic aspects, supported nice and steadily by bass and drums, where especially the former may take on some intricate and energetic runs time and again. The other half of this bands stylistic expression resides well within the metal universe, featuring quirky, dark toned riff constructions of a kind and character that should please fans of bands such as Tool.
What sets this band slightly apart, other than this Radiohead meets Tool kind of dualism, is frequent use of psych-tinged guitar details and a somewhat original compositional approach. This is a band fond of twisting and turning the compositions throughout, often making it hard to keep track of the proceedings, and this CD will take both time and dedication to get familiar with due to that. Especially as they also alter and twist the instrument palette in the vocal passages. And when the vocals both in delivery and mix have been given a rather dominant position, keeping track of ever altering instrumental manoeuvres at the same time as a lead vocalist with a distinctly insisting presence that has been given a placement in the arrangements is vying for your attention, then loosing track of events is something that is bound to happen sooner or later. It's only when you get to be highly familiar with this production that I guess you'll eventually discover how much or not you actually like it, the first few runs through it will eventually be an exercise in keeping track of developments more than anything.
At best this is an intriguing band however. The loose fragmented dampened piece Lizard, that eventually settles into a build-up for the following intense piece Gig, is among the finer experiences on the CD. And final track Separazione, where Yggdrazil calms down ever so slightly their ever twisting and turning compositional development, showcase the band at their arguably best.
The end result is a somewhat chaotic, psychedelic-flavoured production that I guess will be mostly of interest to fans of Tool and to some extent Radiohead, at least those amongst them who tends to enjoy fairly intricate and challenging musical endeavours. Existing fans might also note that this reissue sports just over 30 minutes of additional material. These are low-fi, low quality recordings however, and as such mostly of interest to avid fans who'd like to listen to more material from this band no matter the quality of it.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog Metal and Heavy Prog Teams
In terms of composition, ideas and execution, this is a very interesting result: a quite dark, psychedelic heavy prog amalgam with influences both from the heavier end of the spectrum (e.g. see 'Conception of Time' where snippets of Psychotic Waltz can be heard) and the more melodic, layered structures of clean-guitar driven passages found predominantly in 'Every Man' but also in 'By my Time' and 'Specular'. It is extremely hard to categorise the music, as at one time it comes out as bombastic progressive metal, other times turns to eclectic avant with odd-time signatures ('Gig'), deceives you by following more standard heavy prog patterns in the vein of Enchant and Rush and finally presents a grandiose epic composition in 'Separazione' that mixes all of the above with Italian lyrics.
The low point that, in my opinion, buries the final result is the quality and mixing of the vocals with the instrumental part. At times out of tune and not really agglomerating with the music, the vocals are executed and mixed in a way that the listener might feel that they should not have been part of the equation. Even during the high-point of this album, 'Separazione', while the heavy rock passages interchange with jazz-influenced, bass-filled interludes and the ideas are flowing one after another, the vocals are there to stop the track from achieving its real potential. Further to this, the production is of low standards and I presume that Psych Up Melodies did not further process the result to establish a more listenable sound experience when this album was re-released in 2012 (e.g. the guitars in 'Specular' are like being recorded in a room studio, as with the sound of the drums during the whole album). Structure-wise the ideas are plenty but not necessarily glued together, as it appears that each song reflects different styles; however, this latter observation is not the determining factor for the end result.
If this album was re-recorded from scratch we might have been talking about a very good and quite intricate release by Yggdrazil, a quite unusual band for the Italian scene. As it stands though, I cannot assign this with more than 2.5 stars (it could have been 3.5 easily!) with my thanks to the label for sending us the promo.
High points: Separazione, Conception of Time
PS. The 30 minutes of outtakes (low-fi material) in the 2012 version don't add anything to the quality of the album.
Originally compiled for www.justincaseradio.com
Like the other releases from the Psych Up Melodies label, YGGDRAZIL's "Settimo Grado Di Separazione" ("Seventh Degree of Separation" in English) is a quite strange and hard to describe album. First and only opus to date by this obscure Italian band, taking their name from Northern mythology, the music displays a singular dark and esoteric ambiance, borrowing from various different styles. Almost constantly taken by surprise, the listener will travel through an unknown parallel dimension, moving from hard rock, heavy prog to progressive metal via gothic, cold- wave and zheul-esque wormholes. The mystical impression is reinforced the vocalist's chameleon unusual raw and high-pitched falsetto vocals. The compositions are rather homogeneous in terms of quality, contain many changes, as well as elaborated rhythm structures.
From the beginning, you know you're in for something special. Starting on a heavy prog tonality, "Conception of Time" turns into a powerful heavy progressive metal title, then to a 80's goth / cold wave lament, to finally conclude as a somehow rock ballad! Completely different, the dreary "Lizard" evokes an incantatory ritual chant with its Middle-Eastern accents, and abruptly introduces the nonsense fast-paced "Gig", entirely reversing the peaceful atmosphere. This indescribable track resembles Zheul with various digressions, however dissonant and not really united. My least favorite passage from the record. But even more surprising is what comes next. "Every Man" is a much more classic melancholic hard rock song, both pretty and strong, with a very usual structure. The last kind of track you would expect to find in such an eerie disc! By contradiction, that's why this album is unpredictable.
Opening with beautiful arpeggios, the soft gloomy "By my Time" slightly morphs into complex tortured prog metal. With its high-pitched vocals, this composition may remind a little FATES WARNING. Interesting and varied, although a bit messy at times. Back to calm with the hazy "Specular", a smooth ethereal cold wave title that suddenly unleashes raging numerous saturated soli. Longest song of the record, "Separazione" is a worthy powerful conclusion for such musical trip. Its dark progressive metal tone contrasts with the strange falsetto vocals and the mesmerizing passages, building a mystical atmosphere, summoning the ancient spirits of the sky... Great!
The 2012 Psych Up Melodies re-release includes four bonus tracks, consisting just in low quality demos, rather optional.
Despite a few moments hard to follow, "Settimo Grado Di Separazione" possesses a genuine particular ambiance. Difficult to categorize, YGGDRAZIL is constantly shifting from a genre to another, nearly fooling its audience musically, but not in terms of interest and inspiration. Don't expect walking on an establish path, prepare for an uncommon journey instead.
A very strange and original album, recommended if you like to venture into obscure, tortured heavy prog / prog metal territories, not without certain slices of both known and unknown...
