I would love to find this game again. I played it around '95 or '96. It was a pretty small game on the computer. You were an elf and you had to put together toys as they came off the assembly line. If you missed one, santa would beat you with his belt. If you missed too many, he'd beat you into submission and the game would end. Does anyone know of that game? Thanks.
... if Santa is the good guy I wonder what the bad ones are like.
Had a look through my old demo disks of that era - no dice.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
thanks for looking
Was the game called "santa's workshop" or is that just your description?
Unfortunately a web search and eBay search didn't turn up anything.
However, I did find open source Santa game that's free and works on Windows 95 and later. Open Source under the GNU GPLv3 software license. Originally released in 1994 and remastered in November 2012, according to the website:
The file is X-Mas-Game-Setup.exe
I have been looking for that too! The actual file was called workshop.exe, but I've had no luck at all in finding it. If anybody does,.. I sure would appreciate the info also!!!
I found this and ran it:
It does show santa beating the elf who doesn't get the toy put together correctly. It's not very sophisticated--more like a 1980's dos game.

BaxterStorey has announced the winners of its third annual Heritage Chef of the Year Awards with winners from across both UK and Ireland locations celebrated.
Launched in 2015, the competition showcases our passion for fresh, seasonal and locally sourced produce. This year's final held at Electrolux, Luton, saw 13 of our most talented chefs compete across four categories; Young Chef of the Year, Chef of the Year, Pastry Chef of the Year and Chef Manager of the Year.
Following a series of demanding regional heats with 45 semi-finalists, the finalists were challenged to create two dishes within just 90 minutes. Our expert judges awarded top marks to those showcasing the best of locally sourced produce, skill, innovation and presentation.
Young Chef of the Year
Stephen Selwood, based in the South East, took the title of Young Chef of the Year. His dish of Newlyn's Farm grilled pork chuck steak, sourced just 25 miles from his location in Reading, impressed the judges describing his main course as "beautifully cooked and well-seasoned".
Chef of the Year
Irish-based Claire Rodden was awarded Chef of the Year in an incredibly tight category. With the judges praising her "fantastic organisation skills", Claire's dessert of baked yoghurt, AIB honey, elderflower, pickled apple and honeycomb was inspired by one of Ireland's best products – dairy! The honey in the dish originated from the building in which she works, from one of seven hives, housing around 60,000 bees.
Pastry Chef of the Year
Pastry Chef of the Year was won by Sam Parsons, based in the South West. His beautifully simple dish of spiced plum and yoghurt ice cream was described as having "fantastic solid flavours" by the judges, and showcased the very best of fresh, seasonal produce from his region.
Chef Manager of the Year
Oxford-based Sean Campbell took the title of Chef Manager of the Year with a local lamb dish, complimented perfectly with heritage pumpkin and pickled golden beets. The judges were extremely impressed with the "excellent flavour balance and extra refinement with the presentation".
Matt Hay, BaxterStorey Group Chef Director and judge, said: "This competition is about great chefs showcasing their skills and techniques to make exceptional dishes, using all locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. We are proud to have such talented and passionate people in our business, and Heritage Chef is a great opportunity for us to recognise them, as shown by this year's very deserving winners."
The winners were awarded state of the art AEG Gourmet pro food processors by Electrolux, Mac Chef Knives and dinner for two. Huge thanks goes all of our sponsors for their support including our Chef Academy and Barista Academy. And also to our chef judges for their expertise and feedback to all of our exceptional finalists.

The fact that Pepper Park offers all sorts of things isn't new, but according to disturbing rumours, in addition to the usual drugs, dirty secrets and questionable services of all kinds, valuable goods from faction stocks could also become available in Pepper Park in the future.
Initial research suggests that goods from all factions, even the CityAdmin itself, may be available on the black market if you have the necessary negotiating skills.
Queries from Neocronicle in the faction HQs make it clear: the faction supply managers are shaken and cannot explain this circumstance.
The information, however, was quite sparse and it was repeatedly said that "investigations" had been initiated.
So far it is completely unclear who is behind it, how they managed to get their hands on these goods and how exactly the smugglers get in touch with their customers.

Dear Readers,
We have received information from deep within the Brotherhood of Crahn which we don't want to withhold from you.
A reliable source told us that the Brotherhood of Crahn is seeking the grave of their leader, "Crahn".
They stated:
"For years the Brotherhood has been looking for the grave of their Grandmaster, their Messiah. So far, we have been unsuccessful.
Last year, however, the Brotherhood found a lost parchment with instructions on how to make a glove – Crahn's Hand.
What was previously unknown is that the Brotherhood had found another parchment; one which might direct them to the grave of their Messiah. The Brotherhood has put all their resources into deciphering this parchment. Although they have made considerable progress, they have not completed their work.
Our source confirmed that Crahn's grave is thought to be in the Wastelands - accessible via an ancient hidden tunnel, which supposedly leads to a chapel."
Is it true? Did the Brotherhood find the grave? Not yet, according to our source:
"The Brotherhood has dug and dug, but not found the grave of their master. They have found something else ... something dangerous - something that should never have been discovered.
The higher orders know more. All I know is that, except one brother, no one has ever returned from there - he was so traumatized that he said only the following:
"Baneful... Spider... Evil... DOOM!"
We will continue investigating about this story and report to you, dear readers, as soon as we have new information.

Yesterday (20th May) a disk error issue occurred with our main Database Application server. This issue led to the unplanned downtime of the main Website, Forums, API and the Launcher.
At the time it was believed the issue was contained to the main DB Application server and would have no effect on the Titan Game Database which is on a separate server.
The NST uses virtualization technology for running its services and servers and after further checks it was discovered the Titan Game Database had suffered data corruption.
The Titan Game Database has been restored on 20th May at around 11:30UTC to the last good backup taken on 20th May at around 07:30UTC.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the rollback and we would like to thank players for their understanding and patience during the downtime.

As much of the Canadian skeptical community gathers in Las Vegas for The Amazing Meeting (TAM), it's time for a weekly roundup of podcasts and other Canadian skeptical media. Perfect for those layovers on your flights back from Sin City.
Skeptically Speaking
At Skeptically Speaking last week, Desiree spoke with Ben Radford, columnist and managing editor for Skeptical Inquirer Magazine, about the investigation of paranormal claims. This Friday's discussion will be on cruelty as a scientific phenomenon. This pre-recorded episode will feature an interview with researcher Dr. Kathleen Taylor, the author of Cruelty: Human Evil and the Human Brain. You can listen to the show on Friday, or wait until early next week to download the podcast.
Radio Freethinker
From Vancouver and Skeptic North contributor Ethan Clow, Radio Freethinker's episode #70 is up, and you can download it here. Topics include:
- The BP oil well – nuke it?
- Pride Toronto and the "Queers Against Israeli Apartheid" controversy
- UFO's in Europe
- Should Stanley Park's name be changed to Xwayxway?
The Reality Check
From Ottawa, Ontario, The Reality Check seems to be on a TAM-induced break this week. Host Jonathan Abrams is undoubtedly loading up on crystal skull vodka (banned in Ontario!) and trying to interview as many skeptics as possible.
New Podcasts!
I was also told about Think For Yourself on 102.7, Vancouver Co-op Radio. A production of BC Skeptics, it's on Thursdays at 1:00 pm. That's all I can find out about the show – if there's an RSS, please let me know.
Another Canadian podcast that was brought to my attention was The Conspiracy Skeptic Podcast, hosted by Karl Mamer. This is a podcast I wasn't familiar with, so I'm going back to check out the archives, including an interview with Skeptic North contributor Jonathan Abrams.
I also want to flag the blog The Skeptical Review, that compiles a review of recent skeptical podcasts. If you're pressed for time and looking for the best episodes, this blog may be a place to start. Unfortunately, it doesn't profile much Canadian content. However, it does have a great interview with Skeptically Speaking host, and Skeptic North contributor, Desiree Schell.
Yes, Canada has its own sea monster. It's Ogopogo, in Okanagan Lake, British Columbia. Despite the fact that, unlike the Loch Ness Monster, Ogopogo actually exists, it hasn't received the profile of its Scottish cousin. Enter writer, producer, actor, skeptic, and friend of Skeptic North, Kennedy Goodkey to right that wrong.
Kennedy will be premiering his new film The Beast of Bottomless Lake this Saturday, July 10, at the Mississauga Independent Film Festival. It's been picked as one of the five things to do this week in Toronto by the National Post! Kennedy will also be making an appearance at CFI's Cafe Skeptique at The Bean on College Street, this Saturday, July 10.
I was one of the lucky few to see a rough cut of the movie exactly one year ago at last year's TAM. Congratulations to Kennedy for his perseverance in making this movie a reality. Here's a preview of The Beast of Bottomless Lake, to close out this week's update:

Keflex Antibiotic
Keflex® (cephalexin) is a prescription medicine that belongs to a class of antibiotics called cephalosporins. It is approved to prevent heart valve infections and is also commonly used for treating bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections and sinus infections.
Keflex works by preventing bacteria from making and maintaining their cell wall. Without a cell wall, bacteria are vulnerable and ultimately die. As a result, the infection is kept from spreading within the body. Keflex is typically taken two to four times daily, depending on your healthcare provider's instructions.
Before you start taking Keflex, safety information for the antibiotic should be reviewed with your healthcare provider. This drug may not be suitable or safe for everyone, so it is important to talk to your healthcare provider before starting treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney disease, or will be having surgery.
It is also important to be aware of the potential side effects of Keflex; side effects that have been reported with this medication include dizziness, upset stomach, and nausea.

Today is double points day at Qdoba, and now I want their nachos! But we're saving money and eating in for the most part... *grumble grumble*
Qdoda is my favorite new place! I've only been twice, but I want to marry their guacamole!
Irish nachos sound delish!
We go there about once a week! Their guacamole is the best aside from homemade. Mmm, queso burrito, get in mah belly!

California Psalms
Published in July 2013 by Radiolarian Press.
A year before the turn of the millennium, circumstances brought Tatyana Apraksina, a Petersburg artist and writer focused on music and philosophy, to the far reaches of the American West. On the Pacific's edge, in the natural isolation of the legendary Big Sur coast, Tatyana Apraksina's cultural perspective required new forms. She replied with psalms. The resulting cycle combines richly imagistic language with contemplative and emotional depth. The internal events of a personal shift connect, in "California Psalms," with the scale of the expansive universe and humanity within it. This fully bilingual edition includes illustrations by the author, as well as the translator's introduction and commentary. The Psalms' English translation conveys both the meaning and strikingly volatile sound of the Russian original.
"This is a powerful, extraordinary poet, with a unique style and theme and a distinctive creative method." — Sergei Glovyuk, "Literary Gazette"
$18 US. Available from local bookstores (via Ingram and others) and through Amazon.com and other online sources.
For US direct orders from publisher, please add $2/copy shipping. Intl. orders please estimate rates from US (10.9 oz. shipping weight).

From reviews:
"The author is not only a truly gifted philosopher but also a powerfully imaginative poet, a sharp-eyed artist and a deft sculptor"
"Like all nine Beethoven symphonies at once"
"A flood of creative inspiration like volcanic lava"
"Evidence that the poet transcendentally penetrates the heart of things"
Five stars, Goodreads —"Tatyana Apraksina is Mandelstam coming to live on the West Coast and doing metaphysical battle with the landscape. The renderings by Manteith into English find the poems in English exhibiting the density of a Shostakovich symphony."

MongoDB Aggregation
MongoDB aggregation helps enterprises process big data faster.
For organizations using sensor data, social data, and other real time big data to drive business performance, MongoDB aggregation can prove a remarkably helpful tool. As a leading NoSQL database, MongoDB delivers the agility and scalability businesses need to manage massive data sets. MongoDB aggregation operations help speed the processing of big data, while simplifying application code and limiting resource requirements. With MongoDB aggregation, developers can more easily manipulate big data to get the answers and intelligence organizations need for competitive advantage.
But to perform MongoDB aggregation effectively, organizations need developers with advanced skills in MongoDB architecture and development, and they are fairly scarce today. MongoDB – like Hadoop, Cassandra, MapReduce and other big data technologies – is a relatively new technology. Not many developers have been trained in it, and developers with deep experience are currently commanding top salaries at leading enterprises.
For organizations that want to use MongoDB aggregation to manage big data more efficiently, Talend provides a solution that lets them work with MongoDB using the team they already have in place.
Talend solutions for MongoDB aggregation.
Talend offers a software solution that allows developers to work with big data technologies like MongoDB aggregation without needing new skills or training.
With Talend, developers can integrate widely disparate data from multiple sources in just minutes, using more than 800 out-of-the-box connectors. And Talend enables them to perform complex transformations like MongoDB aggregation operations using their existing skillset.
Talend components are built to let developers use big data platforms like Hadoop, MongoDB, MapReduce, Hive, HCatalog, Oozie, Sqoop and HBase. And Talend supports leading Hadoop distributions and big data platforms including Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR, Amazon EMR, IBM PureData, Pivotal Greenplum, Pivotal HD, and SAP HANA.
How Talend supports MongoDB aggregation.
Talend enables developers to easily work with MongoDB aggregation operations. With Talend, developers can:
- Pull source data from anywhere, including NoSQL sources, for aggregation in MongoDB.
- Integrate data quickly in an easy-to-use graphical interface, visually mapping data sources and targets without needing to learn new MongoDB aggregation skills or write complex code.
- Perform complex aggregation operations on massive amounts of data quickly and easily.
- Monitor data quality with clearer insight into the completeness, accuracy and integrity of data used in MongoDB aggregation operations.
- Manage MongoDB aggregation and other big data jobs easily, using Talend's simple and intuitive governance tools to schedule, monitor and deploy any big data job.

App Review: GloBall by Robot Super Brain
by Dorothy on
July 9, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Entertainment, Games, Kids
In the last month since its release in the iTunes App Store, Globall by Robot Super Brain has quickly increased in popularity. It now holds the #20 spot in the Top 100 Paid Apps. So, I decided that I would take a look and see what all the fuss was about.
The idea behind GloBall is simple. You must use the glowing ball on the screen to get rid of all the colored squares in each level. Once all of the colored squares are gone, the level is complete. Accomplishing this task is not as easy as it sounds. To move the GloBall around, simply lay your device flat and then tilt it in the direction you want the ball to go. The ball appears to roll down in the direction that gravity would pull it. However, the GloBall also bounces off objects. This bouncy property of the ball took a little getting used to for me.
There are also other pitfalls to watch out for as you roll around each level. There are spikes that will pop your GloBall and enemies that will try to come get you. You must avoid these or you may lose a ball. You can also earn an extra ball by collecting the gold coins throughout the levels. Once you get 25 of these coins, you earn an extra ball. There are 43 levels to play. Each time you pass a level, you unlock the next one. As with many other games, you can submit your high scores and use your current location to see how your scores match up with people near and far. GloBall is addicting fun for all ages.
GloBall is $0.99 in the iTunes App Store.

Came across this promo for the World Cup today and it reminded me of the atmosphere at the Gold Cup of Summer 2013.
Let's set the scene. It was an overcast Baltimore day, hot and humid in late July. On the docket was a Gold Cup quarterfinal doubleheader with the US of A to play second. There was a sea of red, white and blue adorning the streets leading to the stadium, but mostly because the other teams playing that day were Honduras (blue and white), Costa Rica (red, white, and you guessed it…blue), and El Salvador (blue and white). The CONCACAF region clearly does not recognize other colors.
The gates of the stadium were opened and a sea of people rushed to find their seats for the 4-5 hours of soccer to come. The American Outlaws had reserved three sections right behind the West goal. Aside from a few other US fans scattered throughout the stadium, that was the entire cheering section for the Yanks. It took until about halfway through the first game for all three sections to be filled with US fans, it took quite a few police officers to explain (in Spanish I assume) that if your ticket says nosebleed section you need to leave. Most of them didn't leave, as if they could hide amongst a bevy of Uncle Sam hats.
The first game was boring and muted. Honduras won 1-0 over Costa Rica, and the Honduran fans celebrated like they both won the World Cup that day, and had somehow defeated the United States. Neither was true, but kudos to their enthusiasm, albeit a little misguided.
The second game was magnificent. The US took a 2-1 lead into halftime and it felt as though the game was being held in El Salvador. Roughly 10-15% of the fans were cheering for the US, and 5% of those fans were Honduran good guys. If you want to experience being a USMNT fan, I suggest you experience the Gold Cup in 2015. The Gold Cup is the best competitive international soccer tournament that the USMNT plays on U.S. soil with the exception of World Cup qualifiers.
The second half: a unique experience.The lead held in the second half thanks to some fantastic work from a rejuvenated Landon Donovan and Eddie Johnson. It started to rain, and the USA rumbling got louder and louder. The Central American fans, unhappy that capitalism (#MURICA) was raining on their parade, tossed every drink and bit of food/garbage down from the cheap seats. The chants got louder. The rain fell harder. The goals kept coming. 5-1 America.
Eventually the disgruntled El Salvador fans ran out of 8 dollar beers to throw, and the final whistle blew. Everyone was soaked and began to exit the stadium, but the American Outlaws kept chanting. They sang songs, shouted chants, and eventually they did a roll call as the USMNT players thanked them for their support. They stayed until the stadium was uncomfortably empty, and then proceeded to sing as they exited the stadium.
If you are an American soccer fan that wants soccer to succeed in America, then you should find your local AO chapter and join. Every member helps, and it's the first step to enjoying a truly American soccer experience at the next USMNT game. Well worth it the next time you see the USMNT play and get to lose your voice with fellow soccer lovers.

text: May 9, 2014 Cost Estimate As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on April 30, 2014 View Document20.39 KB Summary As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on April 30, 2014 H.R. 776 would amend federal laws related to surety bonds. Surety bonds provide financial guarantees that contracts will be completed according to mutual terms; if a contract is not completed the bond covers the losses. The legislation would affect surety activities in two ways. First, the bill would change collateral requirements for individual sureties who provide bonds for contractors on federal construction projects. Second, H.R. 776 would allow the Small Business Administration (SBA) to guarantee a larger portion of certain bonds, which can be obtained for federal and nonfederal contracts, under the Surety Bond Guarantee Program. Finally, the legislation would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to prepare a report on the use of surety bonds by federal contractors over the past 10 years. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 776 would cost less than $500,000, subject to the availability of appropriated funds for GAO to produce the required report. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. Under current law and regulation, contractors on federal construction projects are required to insure their performance using surety bonds. Based on information from the General Services Administration, private contractors, and bond providers, CBO expects that provisions of H.R. 776 that would change some collateral requirements for surety bonds would not affect the cost of procuring construction services. In addition, CBO estimates that provisions of the bill that would raise the portion of certain surety bonds that the SBA can guarantee from 70 percent to 90 percent would not have a significant effect on discretionary spending because we expect the agency would increase fees to cover any additional costs. H.R. 776 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments. On April 15, 2014, CBO provided a cost estimate for H.R. 776, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Small Business on March 5, 2014. Both versions of the bill contain similar provisions regarding increasing the value of the bond guarantee, but H.R. 776 as ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary has an additional provision regarding collateral requirements. The estimated costs of the two versions of H.R. 776 are the same. Legislative Information Available From Congress.gov Related Publications H.R. 776, Security in Bonding Act of 2014April 15, 2014

I was in Barcelona for a very important purpose. My friends Chan (Sri Lankan) and Neasa (Irish) – both New Zealand residents – were getting married in the obvious Kiwi-Asian-Gaelic location. Barcelona.
Strictly speaking this was a blessing only as the legalising ceremony was in New Zealand before I left. Their wedding deserves special mention in a foodie blog due to the quality (and quantity) of the food. Two words. Lavish. Delicious.
One of my pet gripes with weddings is that guests are often abandonned for hours after the ceremony with nothing but glasses of bubbles for sustenance. The bride and groom scarper for photos while friends and family get hammered thanks to drinking on an empty stomach. Well prepared bridal couples sometimes ensure canapes are passed around at this time. Given that canapes are priced per piece the general ratio is 3 to 4 per guest. Or several mouthfuls for the more Survivor-like guests; and nothing for the rest.
Not at this wedding. Copious quantities of tapas were served with Cava (Spanish bubbles). Tapas ranged from tortilla (like a Spanish frittata with eggs and potatoes) to fish croquettes to small Spanish meatballs with caramelised onions. When the formal ceremonies recommenced the troupe of guests were relaxed and with the edge taken off.
Tapas were followed with a buffet featuring paella, confit duck braised in port wine with pears, and a luscious salad with grilled goats cheese. And this was just a corner.
Things really got out of hand with the desserts. Neasa and Chan were obviously unable to shortlist out of the mouthwatering options of classic Spanish desserts, pastries, chocolates and more. So we got everything in tiny pieces in multiple courses. My table had the inspired thought to each have one of everything. And were floored when we discovered that the options kept being refreshed. Completely done in we were faced with the daunting prospect of the wedding cake. A chocolate, truffle, mousse cake. Each. I feel slightly queasy remembering choking down a corner. Because I had to. Because it was so delicious.
The above is a compliment to the bride and groom. It takes a lot to out cater me and I officially concede to being done-in by the wedding feast. Viva Barcelona. And all my love and best wishes to Neasa and Chan. Should you choose to reconfirm your vows in Barcelona anytime. Count me in.

We appreciate all the support we have received from our fans and professors on this road trip and hope to represent the university well next week.
Jade Griffin and Kanela Adamson rebounded from a loss yesterday with an 8-0 victory over Dominican's (4-8) Kelly Zwicker and Cori Beeby. No. 16 Min (Karen) Liu and Shu-Ying (Suzie) Hsieh captured an 8-1 win, their fourth victory of the season at No. 1 doubles for the Seasiders, while No. 2 Nannan (Dallas) Zhang and Xin (Summer) Wen also took an 8-1 victory in No. 2 doubles.

Contract Claims Management and Contract Dispute Resolution are all too often part of the range of activities required in a project team. Often appropriately skilled and experienced people are not available on the team and specialists are needed to perform these functions.
Obtaining the right skills for these functions can save a lot of additional expense that can result if lawyers are required and mediation or even litigation are initiated.
Management of Claims can be an important part of contract management and especially of contract closure. While this may have an administrative emphasis, Contract Dispute Resolution is definitely a high value-adding skill when done well.
Both roles are well suited to engagement on contract. Contract Project Services is ready to respond to requests for either service, having access to experienced personnel in both categories.

One of the most exciting parts of being pregnant is watching your belly grow. The baby bump in all it's glory through each trimester is a reminder of just how amazing a woman's body really is in it's ability to carry and protect a human being until it is born. We asked our mom.life moms to share their baby bumps and stories and there was an amazing response! We wish we could share them all, but we managed to find seven adorable bumps and lovely stories from our amazing mom.life moms:
Picture taken at 37 weeks ❤? it's the first time I've ever made it full term. I'm 40 weeks now. Doctors told me I have an incompetent cervix that I'll give birth early because I've had my first baby at 19 weeks she didn't make it. My 2nd baby at 34 weeks,shes 2yrs old now. And this is my third pregnancy and I'm beyond excited I made it this far. I thought I was never going to be able to have a full term baby.
This is my favorite belly picture from my last pregnancy, my fourth little blessing, 3rd little boy. I believe I was around 31 weeks here! When we first found out I was pregnant again, I was very scared of how I was gonna be pregnant and deal with pregnancy while having 3 other kids running around. That all quickly went away as they turned into the best little helpers around!
At 21 weeks I was told that I was for sure being put on high risk…I was put on strict bed rest for almost 2 months, was taken off work for the remainder of my pregnancy…we were told I was going to have this baby early and we were going to weekly visits and ultrasounds from there on out to monitor our situation. we were told I would have him between 32 and 36 weeks and they highly doubted I would make it to the 36 weeks… I was induced at 39 weeks, had a completely natural labor and delivery and my son was born happy and healthy!
Picture taken at 24 and 25 weeks. I've had a great pregnancy so far. I had bad nausea the first 12 weeks. Since then, everything has been great. My feet are only swollen when I wake up in the morning. I can still maintain my normal activity. I feel completely normal, like myself, only with a little alien growing in me ?? . My first baby.
31 weeks! my 1st baby (the dog) is definitely he getting jealous. I hope she loves the baby as much as she looks like she does in this picture!
Baby #4 36weeks it's a boy ❤
When we passed this sign and I was wearing the white shirt, it was too good to pass up!!

I can't tell you how many times Gretel had to correct me since I kept calling the town "Walkings Glen" in the state of New York. We have both been to the town before (wine tasting and Farm Sanctuary) but now we decided to do something a little different. We both wanted to explore the town as well as go to the state park. While we were in the area we also decided to check out the town of corning and the glass museum!
We got to Watkins Glen an hour before the sun set so we made the decision to go to the state park first in case it rained the next day. The main entrance was closed so we had to find another way in near a deer reservation/game park.
There is supposedly an awesome gorge down by the river but unfortunately the gates were closed due to winter conditions. It was disappointing but understandable since it was covered in ice and looked dangerous.
Although we went during the off season we did get to see a lot more of the area since there were no leaves on the trees.
As we continued to walk we surprising found a graveyard and an old abandoned shack right near some gravestones. While I was taking a photo of Kyle someone grabbed him by the neck and tried to drag him in! Only then did we realize it was his own hand after all.
After having some fun walking around the park and taking some pictures we decided to head over to The Glen Theater where we were able to see Black Panther for only 8$! Remember the last time you paid that price for a movie ticket? I don't.
After grabbing something to eat after a long day we bought a bottle of local wine and headed back to the room to chill out. There did not appear to be a lot of night life going on but we suspect that the streets would be crowded during the summer. The next day we decided to walk around the town to see what it had to offer.
Besides some street art there were a lot of breweries and food options and all of the main parts in town were in walking distance from one another.
We also went by the harbor to take some fun pictures to take advantage of the weather and to walk around (we did a lot of walking Gretel, see? Walkings Glen makes more sense). It was nice because we had the harbor all to ourselves and could not imagine how crowded it would be when the weather was warmer.
Our next spot was to go to the Corning glass museum where we decided to sign up for some glass blowing classes!
Gretel decided to make a awesome purple flower and I wanted to make a planet paperweight thing!
I have no idea what I will use it for but it is cool to say that my breath is trapped in an item until it breaks, right?
Gretel did some actual flame work so she had to wear the right equipment while I just kind of strolled in and they gave me a pipe.
After having a lot of fun making our own glass we decided to check out the museum that had some cool live demonstrations of large Jack in the Pulpit flowers and being able to see the stress breaking points in glass! There were also a ton of glass artifacts from around the world and in different times throughout history!
The museum is huge so if you like to read everything, and I mean everything, this could easily be a whole day trip for you. Although they did have a cafeteria we wanted to see the town of Corning so we set off on the free shuttle to downtown!
It appeared that a lot of places were closed on the Sunday but we ended up grabbing a bite to eat at Mooney's Sports Bar which had huge plates for a decent amount of cash.
Overall we had a lot of fun and were able to do it during a weekend trip as it wasn't that long of a drive! As we said there is also Farm Sanctuary that rescues abused farm animals where you can go pet them, and there is a of of local wineries to explore as well!

'Vacancies are not problems, but opportunities.' So says Bob Jackson, author of a new resource to help churches thrive during a vacancy.
Growing Through a Vacancy is based on research among churches in vacancy from across all traditions, and identifies 15 keys to growing through a vacancy period.
Developed by a partnership of five organisations (Birmingham Diocese, St John's Centre for Church Growth, CPAS, Lichfield Diocese, The Saltley Trust), the resource consists of two parts:
- A handbook to guide clergy and church wardens through a vacancy.
- A leaflet for PCC members with a digest of the key insights.
- If you have already have the handbook, there is a variety of supplementary online material which you can download from here.
Please click here to view prices and buy online, including bulk purchase discounts.

Growing Through a vacancy: an introduction
A brief two-minute introduction to the Growing Through a Vacancy resource, which gives 15 practical steps to help churches thrive during the time without a vicar.
'CPAS has once again produced a resource to help churches think, pray and plan how to grow and fulfil their mission. A vacancy need not be a time of decline, but tackled carefully and prayerfully a vacancy can lead to growth and fresh vision for the future.' The Rt Rev Peter Hancock, Bishop of Basingstoke

This month I had the chance to play with the Prima "Doodle Deux" collection for my design team projects at Scrapbook Boutique!
I normally associate Prima products with shabby chic petals and blossoms in pale, fairy like colours- but this range has some really bold colours and wooden elements that were perfect for a unisex layout about our "Magic Moments" experience at Healseville Sanctuary with the baby wombats!
The full tutorial is available over at the Scrapbook Boutique blog and you can get all the products you need, as well as the other items in the Doodle Deux collection from the Scrapbook Boutique online store!

Client pre authentication on Linux, macOS and Windows
KB Home | Client pre authentication on Linux, macOS and Windows
Q I noticed the Apple Mac has the option to copy in a shared secret avoiding the need for the initial authentication screen. Is this also possible on Linux or Windows?
Yes. To achieve this the workstation must be administered by your organization. The admin must be able to setup login scripts that run as a privileged user, and also copy files to a location that only a privileged user can access.
pc-client-linux.sh –-pre-authenticate –-user "the_user" –-shared-secret-file "/path/to/root-secured/shared-secret"
- (all on same line)
or using Windows Powershell
& "C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\client\win\pc-client.exe" –-pre-authenticate
–-user "the_user" –-shared-secret-file "c:\path\to\root-secured\shared-secret"
- (again all on same line)
pc-client-linux.sh –-use-pre-authentication –-user "the_user"
& "C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\client\win\pc-client.exe" –-use-pre-authentication
–-user "the_user"
You'll need to have a good understanding of your workstation login process (e.g. GDM scripts) to leverage this configuration.

easter weekend was wonderful, spent with family and friends, too much food and, most importantly, at home. there are just some things that can't beat going home to my mumma's house and leaving behind scummy student living, crinkly sheets and piles of dirty plates (mostly the boys, because i am a washing up nazi)
my favourite things about being at home are
a lovely girly bathroom without loads of stubble in the sink! (THE WORST)
childhood comforter that smells like lavender and home
fresh fruit always on the table
what are your favourite things about going home?
♥ xo
p.s. i made this lovely warm cous cous salad with rockette and figs for lunch last week. figs have really grown on me..i think i had them 4 different ways that week!

Here at Dress code we as passionate about our vinyl selection as Lou Reed was about his right to be damn contrary. From well researched debates about the artistic merits of Beyoncé's Lemonade (masterpiece, all hail Queen Bey) to how mashed Joey Ramone had to be to do that Funky Man song, we love to hear what you bought and why.
The satisfaction of replacing lost vinyl is a huge part of what fuels our arguably Savant-ish need to stock a diverse range of genres, re-presses and first editions of the most eclectic punk, rock, indie, hip hop, house, soul, funk and oddities. Lost your favourite copy of Born Slippy in a poorly executed house move in 1997? Ex stole your copy of Pulp Fiction OST after a vicious break up with vinyl victims? We have you covered from pocket pleaser one pound wonders to the rarities you thought you'd never see again. A long way from our humble beginnings of band T Shirts and punk as funk jumble sale restyles, we now have over 1500 records, CDs, cassette tapes and music books in store now starting from £1 to browse in store seven days a week!
"Mother Knows Best"
The phrase you grew up hating, wondering where this mysterious wisdom stemmed from, but when it comes to wardrobe, we are firmly of the view your mama had a point, and your aunt, and your grandmother... In today's sea of polyester similarities, we are pleased to be launching the vintage section of our online store with something to love for more than one summer.
Here at Dress Code we have been supplying the finest, strangest and most downright outrageous selection of clothing from the 1920's to, regrettably now somehow declaring, the 90's "vintage". We've been doing this for long enough to have, in the posh wording, carefully curated a selection of vintage delights for your wardrobe, now available from our online store. With a spectacular array of clothing from vintage big names like Betty Barclay to early rave oddities with everything from Drag Queen hand sequined gowns to St Michael classics along the way. Realistically we feel there's no excuse for not looking like Adam Ant at a fancy dress party on a standard Monday so we've decided to spread the good word and open our vintage section to the good people of the internet.
Our vintage section of the online shop will feature an ever growing and diversifying collection of the best from our little Southsea hub available for next day delivery across the UK. Using our extensive vintage selection and unfailing urge to stop you looking like a muppet, we can advise you on outfits for Goodwood, how to really piss off Janice in HR with your office Christmas party or just kitsch up your average Monday. Launching over the summer, we thought we'd peak your interest with some of the best, bizarre and bolshiest choices to pass through our humble shop before now...

This year, I want to learn how to make better use of these wonderful herbs…. I have been researching all of the things that people do with them.
On my list of things to try there is:
Dandelion soda
Dandelion wine:
Dandelion syrup:
Dandelion marmlade:
And with the roots:
And maybe this:
Or coffee:
Or dandelion pesto pasta:
My only question is – what happens if I run out of dandelions before I get to try allof these things?

Honeysuckle to Handcuffs
Delia O'Callaghan
In stock
When Boston-based Irishwoman Delia O'Callaghan meets Frank, she can't believe her luck. He's everything any girl could wish for: rich, charming, handsome and fun. Whisked up into a world of ritzy restaurants and jet-set living, it looks like all of Delia's dreams are set to come true that is, until U.S. customs catch wind of Delia s lack of a Green Card when she tries to return to the States after a trip home to Ireland for her sister's wedding. Frank returns to Boston without Delia, leaving her stranded in Ireland with a big red DENIED ENTRY stamp in her passport.
Determined to get back to the love of her life, Delia devises a hare-brained scheme: if she can't get into America a legitimate way, then she'll do what hundreds of thousands of people do each year: she'll sneak-in through the Mexican border. What's the worst that could happen… right? She asks herself, half-heartedly. But the plan goes wrong. So wrong in fact, that Delia finds herself locked up in the San Diego Correctional Facility with a foul-mouthed, religious, drug-trafficking, yet protective, lesbian cellmate, Teresa. Not to mention Officer Lopez: the six-foot-two prison guard, identifiable as a woman only through her lack of an Adam's apple. How is Delia going to cope? And will there be a happy ever after?
Honeysuckle to Handcuffs is the hilarious, fish-out-of-water true story of one woman's journey who discovers over the course of nearly a month in jail and a series of disastrous but comical events that there might be more to life than Rolexes, fancy cocktails and fine dining.

Hello readers! It's been a whirlwind of a month here at Stereo At Your Side given the myriad of music released this month to jump-start the New Year. I have been diligently reviewing new songs and wanted to share a few standout tracks to keep on your radar. If this list is a harbinger of the 2012 music scene, then I expect albums with atmospheric qualities to permeate the indie-sphere. This month, I've been drawn to up-tempo power pop songs with memorable hooks. Perhaps it's only me, but I find these tracks to be a lovely contrast to the bare trees, grey skies and cold temperatures that come with the season.
Below are eight new songs to help assuage your winter blues: (click the song title for a video of the song)
Brendan Benson – Bad For Me
Raconteurs co-frontman Brendan Benson showcases his trademark 70's sound on Bad For Me, an epic, piano-driven ballad that speaks of forlorn love. Most notably, the track strikes a perfect balance between sentimental and tasteful urgency. Benson will be releasing his 5th album, entitled What Kind of World, on April 23rd.
Chairlift – Met Before
Met Before is pop music at its finest: memorable melodies, vocals drenched in reverb and rhythmic textures that make it impossible to not dance in your seat! Chairlift's newest album Something is a gem, with a refreshing collection of songs full of energy and life.
Daniel Rossen – Saint Nothing
Best known as a member of Grizzly Bear and the Department of Eagles, Daniel Rossen steps into the spotlight and showcases his musicianship in the beautiful song Saint Nothing. This track is dark and elegant, with subtle wind instruments that help underscore its haunting melody. Stay tuned for Rossen's upcoming EP called Silent Hour/Golden Mile.
Lower Dens – Brains
On Brains, Lower Dens adds edgier layers and textures to their sound, but maintains the dream-like quality found on Twin-Hand Movement. Brains is rhythmic yet melodic, with a gorgeous crescendo that serves as the centerpiece of the track. Their second album, Nootropics, will be released on April 30th.
Grimes – Genesis
Genesis is an extremely playful song, with a prominent synth bassline and overlapping melodies. What gives the track the most character however, is lead singer Claire Boucher's childlike voice, which some say is reminiscent of Annie Lennox.
Frankie Rose – Know Me
Frankie Rose shines on Know Me, a shoegaze track with hints 80's synth-pop. This is refreshing sound for Rose, who played a pivotal part in garage bands such as the Vivian Girls and the Dum Dum Girls. Her new album, Interstellar, will be released on February 21st.
Hospitality – Liberal Arts
Hospitality has a youthful exuberance on their self titled debut album that is akin to twee extraordinaire's Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura and the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. The lyrics also echo this sentiment, as the song Liberal Arts is an ode to the ambiguities of post graduate life: "So You found the lock/But not the key that college brings/And all the trouble of your B.A. in English Literature/Instead of law, or something more practical."
First Aid Kit – Emmylou
Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Soderberg became a YouTube sensation in 2008 with their beautiful cover of Tiger Mountain Peasant Song by the Fleet Foxes.

Emmylou is the standout track on the album precisely because it perfectly conjoins lyrical references to

|Implications of Marital/Partner Relationship Quality and Perceived Stress for Blood Pressure Among Older Adults.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23275499 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objectives.Although higher quality marriages are associated with better health outcomes, less is known about the mechanisms accounting for this association. This study examines links among marital/partner quality, stress, and blood pressure and considers both main and moderating effects.Method.Participants from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (N = 1,854; aged 57-85 years) completed in-person interviews regarding their marital/romantic partner relationships and perceived stress. Interviews included blood pressure assessments. RESULTS: Linear regression models revealed no main effects of spousal/partner quality or stress on blood pressure. However, spousal/partner quality moderated the link between stress and blood pressure. Specifically, there were negative associations between stress and blood pressure among people reporting more confiding, less reliance, and greater demands from spouses/partners.Discussion.Findings highlight the complexity of relationship quality. Individuals appeared to benefit from aspects of both high- and low-quality spouse/partner relations but only under high levels of stress. Findings are inconsistent with traditional moderation hypotheses, which suggest that better quality ties buffer the stress-health link and lower quality ties exacerbate the stress-health link. Results offer preliminary evidence concerning how spousal ties "get under the skin" to influence physical health.

Paddy Power profits hit by "two worst weekends ever" for football results
Two weekends when all the favourites won in the Premier League in January and March have seen Paddy Power profits take a major hit.
Accumulator bets over both weekends came up trumps and ended up costing the Irish bookmaker big bucks.
In an interim management statement covering the period of January 1 to May 11 this year, Paddy Power reported a continuation of the strong growth that led to record turnover last year, although this was dented by a damaging sequence of unfavourable sports results for the start of 2014.
The punter-friendly sports results, already reported for January, came to a head in March, as the statement read: "The adverse results in the period were concentrated in football resulting in our worst two weekends ever for football profitability.
"This contrasts with overall positive sports results in the equivalent period last year, which will unfavourably impact year-on-year first half results."
However, Paddy Power are expecting to offset those results through the course of the financial year, with overall growth reported as strong.
Independent.ie reported yesterday that one Paddy Power punter landed a €577k bonanza when he correctly predicted nine of the 10 Premier League results on Sunday
Irish punter lands €577k bonanza with Premier League accumulator
Meanwhile, Paddy Power chief executive Patrick Kennedy has announced his intention to step down from the role in a year's time.
"I have always had a personal view that after ten years at the helm, change is good, both for the business and the individual," Kennedy said in a statement.
William Hill, Britain's largest bookmaker, is also looking for a new CEO as the current occupant is to retire by the end of next year.
Paddy Power, used to posting stellar profit growth, said punter-friendly results in March had resulted in its two worst weekends ever for football profitability and would unfavourably affect its first-half results.
Profit growth at the Dublin-based group slowed last year and its shares fell 4.6 percent on Tuesday.
"Given the group's very impressive track record under his (Kennedy's) tenure, this is likely to lead to a period of uncertainty for investors," Davy Stockbrokers said in a note.
For the full year, Paddy Power expects the impact to be largely offset by positive sales growth, the recycling of winnings by customers and the later-than-expected introduction of an Irish online and phone betting tax.
The amount of money staked by customers has risen 15 percent in the year to date and total revenue was 5 percent higher, before a busy period that includes the soccer World Cup in June, when activity traditionally rises significantly.

Now refurbished, relaunched and run by Brendan and Karen who also own the highly successful Harrows Inn near Coven, the Calf Heath Marina Complex has something for everyone including a bar, restaurant, convenience store and children's play area.
The Marina is an established mooring place on the Staffordshire Worcester canal at Hatherton Junction, situated in a lovely secluded corner of Calf Heath near to Wolverhampton.
Our waterside restaurant and bar along the canalside gardens make it an ideal location for events such as a Wedding Reception or Garden Parties or just for a drink or get together with family and friends. We are also 'dog' friendly.
You don't have to moor a boat in the marina to enjoy our facilities, just pop down and have a look round, enjoy a beer on the canal side and see for yourself why the marina is so popular again with all generations.

- We need 1 cup Rawa, 1/2 cup Rice atta, 1/2 cup Maida, 1/2 tsp haldi, 1/2 tsp hing, 1/2 tsp dhania powder, 2tsp finely chopped green chillies, 1 tsp finely chopped curry leaves, salt to taste.>/li>
- Add all these ingredients to a deep bowl and mix water.
- Add water till the consistency of the batter is like buttermilk. This batter should not be as thick as the idli batter.
- Now heat a non-stick pan and grease it a bit with butter, ghee or oil. Remember to heat the pan on high as the dosa comes out well on a hot pan.
- Take a big spoonful of this batter and pour it on the very hot pan.
Tip 1: Pour the batter from a distance on the pan and DO NOT try to spread the batter on the tawa with help of the spoon. It will spoil the shape of the dosa.
Tip 2: Also, Rawa dosa should not be upturned as we do not want it to get soft; Rawa dosa is best served crispy and crunchy.
- So, here after about 4 minutes the dosa is ready to be served.

Your house is on fire.
You got out safely and there is time enough to go back in and save 5 things before everything is destroyed. What do you grab?
The number of objects you can grab may change. It could be 3 items, perhaps only 1.
In some cases your family and pets are safely out of the house with you, in other cases not. Either way, chances are you have played the Burning House game with someone at some point.
There is nothing inherently wrong with the question. Questions and situations like these put what really matters into sharp focus, helps us discern what is and is not important to us.
The difficulty, the problem with the burning house scenario is that it demands an answer. And with Christ as my guide, my Lord and Teacher, I find myself in a position where I don't know how to answer.
Consider this portion of Scripture.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth (Matthew 6:19-21,24 NASB)."
When Jesus called me into relationship with Him, I didn't fully realize what He was asking.
I understood that I was asked to put God before all gods, that I would worship and serve him alone.
I understood that He loved me and because of that love, I would love Him in return.
What I didn't realize at the time was that God as Lord, the only God in my life, would affect how I valued my stuff.
I didn't realize He would teach me that I would need to reevaluate how I valued my stuff.
But He did, and continues to.
When I understand, even for a moment, that there is a God that loves and forgives me, my X Box 360 doesn't hold the same value as it once did.
When I am hit with the unnerving reality that I have a friend that is closer than a brother in Jesus, all my books, my music, all these things have no place on the front burner. Instead they get pushed to the back.
When I start to grasp the concept that Jesus called His disciples to build up treasures in Heaven, not on the Earth, I find myself answering the Burning House Scenario this way.
I wouldn't go back for anything.
If my house was on fire, and I could go back in to get 5 things I value most, or 3 things, or 1, my answer would always be the same.
Nothing, as long as I have Jesus I don't need anything else.
And this idea is consistent with the rest of Scripture.
Right after Jesus says you can't serve God and love money, and that you should be putting your treasures into Heaven and heavenly things, Jesus tells us not to worry. Don't worry about food, clothing or a house, because God will take care of it. We then should focus all our attentions into being in relationship with God. Not worrying about all the mundane details of the day.
There is nothing else you need, besides Jesus.
And this would be a wonderful answer to the Burning House Scenario, but there arises a problem when you read the rest of Scripture.
While Jesus tells us that we shouldn't hold onto our stuff, while it shouldn't be of such value that we would run into a burning house to save it, there are places in Scripture where having stuff is seen as a good thing.
For example,
Children are not supposed to save up for their parents, but parents for their children (2 Corinthians 12:14 CJB).
Bread is made for laughter, and wine gladdens life,and money answers everything (Ecclesiastes 10:19 ESV).
You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day (Deuteronomy 8:18).
Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold (Genesis 13:2).
These verses and others like it seem to fly in the very face of what Jesus taught in his Sermon on the Mount. From reading these verses it sounds like we should have money and lots of it.
Money seems to be the sign that God is blessing you. And that would imply that if you don't have any money that God is not blessing you. Is that true?
What are we supposed to do with this?
Is this a contradiction within the teachings of the Bible? Is one teaching right and the other wrong?
Or are we meant to find some kind of balance between God and money?
What do you think?
How do you work out this difficulty within Scripture?

EVERETT — Damage claims from recent floods in Everett continue to come flood, lightly speaking, the city's offices.
The city has heard from more than 70 homeowners and businesses, and expect even more claims.
The city may also have to foot the bill for two Snohomish County Public Utility buildings where about $700,000 in damage was done in the basements.
Everett's mayor has vowed to cover the costs of the flood damage. The surge of water caused sewer systems to overflow into several homes, causing a lot of damage and clean-up.
We'll have more on this story in Q13 FOX News at 4 and 5 p.m.

Best Poll Ever?
4 comments:

The poll is second only to the photo on the right...
This question was my favorite: 6.
President Bush has shown great resolve in his determination to stabilize Iraq and deny terrorists seeking to harm the U.S. a safe haven. Do you feel the Republicans in Congress have stood strong with President Bush on Iraq?
Questions like this are what a poli sci major goes over in week one of their required junior level methods class as an example of bad form.
I answered every question as inconsistently as I could.

You guys are right when you say that a DM can make adjustments to account for the way a player roleplays the encounter, but that's a very 1st Edition mentality (and I like it!) 3.x isn't MEANT to do that however. Using the example of talking to a person whose dog I killed... if the DC to persuade the person to like me is 30, but there's still a chance they'll hate me even if I make that roll, then the DC is set too low in the first place. The whole point of the DC system is that the target number is set based on ALL in game factors, such that the player need to hit that number to accomplish their task. On the other hand if you're saying the NPC might hate me regardless of what I roll ('cause I killed his dog, after all) then you're going against the 3.x system altogether.
Cass: Why don't I get a save?
Lodge: It's a Death Demon. It's fear aura is too strong. You can't roll a successful save.
Cass: Incorrect.
Lodge: What's your Will save modifier?
Cass: +9.
Lodge: The DC to beat this demon's fear aura is a 32, you would have to roll a 23 on a 20 sided die in order to succeed. Now I don't have a math degree, but that's impossible, isn't it?
Cass: A natural 20 is an automatic success no matter the circumstances.
Lodge: But you only have a 5% chance of rolling that 20.
Cass: Do I at least get that roll? I mean, it's in the rules. Is it okay if we play by the rules?
Lodge: (waves for him to proceed)
Cass: Rolls a natural 1
Lodge: OOOooohhhhh!!! A fumble! That means you're completely compelled, and I get to control your character until you snap out of it! Since we're playing by the rules, I know you don't mind.
Cass: Oh shut up, Kevin.

Two band, two sides, one record of deliciously distorted off-kilter rock and roll.
Leeds-based oddballs Bilge Pump attracted all kinds of acclaim for their Let Me Breath record a few years back, and their four songs here demonstrate that the trio's love of the unusual remains strong. Awkward time signatures and deceptively complex drumming are trademarks; the dance-friendly instrumental 'Rebel Decade', Bilge Pump's longest offering here at over eight minutes, an unexpected bonus. Theirs is a sound one million miles away from that categorised as 'commercial', but these songs will turn ears whenever and wherever they are aired.
*The Edmund Fitzgerald * contribute just a single track to the flipside of this blue 12", but not one second of 11-minute-plus 'My Quiets Heart Slight Of Hand' (that's what it appears to be called, anyway) is wasted. Their stop-start-stop-start again but LOUDER approach to post-rock is (was, for they are essentially no more) one done a million times before, but The Ed Fitz's technical skill shines brightly where so many alleged superiors simply play arpeggio games 'til their fingers turn blue. The incredible climax to proceedings here, comparable to peers/friends Youthmovie's stunning '...Spooks The Horse', has to be heard at maximum volume to be fully appreciated. That this incarnation of the band had to end is a pity, but this posthumous release only whets the appetite for what these young musicians will hopefully produce in the not-too-distant future.
