Generally I love it, mostly for the background tapestry, but also for the gaming options. Especially the highlighted H'anvúchè is a well chosen option, which may even be targeted by my actual (seafaring) group in the future. It certainly is a "port of call" for traders and adventurers, and has a multitude of leads to go there, and options to delve deeper into Thonia from there.
Of the index entrys the only one I would have expected more (even in an index) is the first, Áhnàgu, of which only the fact that it is "legendary" is mentioned, but nothing on why, or what could be encountered there. Looking at the entry under the elder races it becomes clear that is a city of the Ahnu, or Dragons, but it still remains mysterious to the point that I could not even give my players a taste of what to expect - perhaps because I totally fail to imagine how a city of dragons may look like. That said, the idea of named (and characterized) dragons is new, but certainly justified considering their age and possible impact on society. I like that - it makes development from a given situation easier - and I start to wonder what other important dragons may dwell in other regions.
Reading the stories and interactions of the other cultures feels like filling in some real history of Kethira - perhaps because my own knowledge on any Terran equivalents is too scarce to see any overlays - and I am now really looking forward to deeper information on Hepekaria and perhaps later the Venarian sea.
Overall I am more then happy with it. Sorry if my only problem with the one illustration looks like a major issue - but I would not even bother to complain if it would not be a product worth it.
That said...
I just developed a new perspective upon the character of the Ilme. Perhaps my group will some day find an Ilme who has the mission to bring some important information towards his cousins on Hârn, and might be inclined to help him... poor souls.
Sorry, but I think you err here on the style and timing.
Here is a depiction of typical Landsknechts fighting around 1502:
From a different source (Schilling) is this depiction of Dorneck 1499:
As you may see, there is nothing yet of the flamboyant style that has become so common just 10 years later, and that prevails for around 25 years before it changes yet again. This particular style with slashed outer garments is inspired by depictions from the 1510-1540 era. Given more colors, this illustration would fit here, and nowhere else - not later, and definitely not earlier. We do find earlier incidents of slashed clothing in the Italian nobility of the 15th century, and slowly spreading from there towards nobles and patricians in the rest of Europe, but their general style was different.
This particular merchant looks like he was inspired by Graf or Burgkmair, which simply activates too many Renaissance connections in me (perhaps just in me) to make him a possible part of Kelestia in TR720. For me its some 400 years off my expectations, and I cannot imagine a world where this guy walks through the streets of Tashal or Jarehm.
Thanks for the feedback Puster! We'll definitely take it under consideration.
Were there specific things you liked about Thonia? Other things you didn't?
. . . wearing something so spartan. He wore multiple layers of contrasting materials, with cutouts and slashes designed to reveal them. There would be an undershirt revealed at the collar, the sleeves would be of completely different material than the bodice, there wouldn't be a codpiece, . . . I could go on. There is a lot more to style than just the silhouette.
And that poofy silhouette is more common than you think. It has gone in and out of style for military uniforms many times. It offers freedom of movement and (so I'm told) makes the man look more muscular and intimidating. Of course, our fellow isn't a soldier in uniform, but male fashion has always been influenced by military garb.
>methods of his clothing are medieval
Thats the point. It it NOT "medieval". Apart from being uniformly brown and having an odd chain and sword this could be a Landsknecht depiction of around 1520. It certainly would fit not a single historical depiction that predates 1500. I would clearly put this one into the early modern period, specifically into the Renaissance.
Perhaps I am a bit sensitive here, as I have stared at several hundreds of images of the 1480-1540 era - its just one of my focal historical interests - and until now I had not expected anything of that era to show up in Kelestia. If we go for historical analogies (and this image certainly is one) we should rather go for the pretty rich background of the 12-14th century. I would certainly vote for replacing this image with one that does not expand the historical tapestry another 200 years into the Terran future. I simply fail to see this Landsknecht style in the same world as a viking. It simply is like the WW2-style badges that once showed up in CGs Rethem - something that for me (and perhaps just for me) does not match my mental image of Kethira.
. . . the materials and methods of his clothing are medieval. I don't see anything *technologically* that needs explanation, but if the style bothers you, you could add to the text, "The Azeryani merchants in H'anvúchè opt for large, floppy knit caps to protect their eyes and necks from the sun. The sleeves of their jerkins and legs of their breeches are puffed up to provide the suggestion of a muscular build and most carry a shoka (sword) in the most conspicuous manner possible - some actually have the martial skill to match their appearance. A leather codpiece completes the typical ensemble - it is, of course, much larger than strictly necessary."
A fantastic addition to the canon. I am tempted to send my PCs outwards bound on a ship.
Yet, I cannot fail to be irritated by the merchant depicted on H'anvúchè 5. While the illustration is fine, it depicts somebody that in Terra would be classified at around 1500, and so looks a bit out of time in Lythia for my expectations.
I know that the ships that cruise Lythias water are already the like of Terras mid 15th century, but otherwise in MY mind I always depicted a historic era equivalent to Terras 1100 to 1300 (even earlier, in the case of the Ivinian culture). If the Byrian (or other Ketharian) cultures are more comparable to Terras late 15th/early 16th century, it certainly would be a revelation that needs at least a couple of more regional modules to digest...
Thanks for the update! Glossing over the map makes me so excited. So many details and stuff I want to know more about. Looks so cool. And maybe in time a map of the Gulf of Mafan as it is now scattered among multiple maps. But anything in this part of the world will be met with joy by me.
There are over 250 pages of text already written for Santhrada, but getting artwork for a publication that large will take a while. In the meantime, expect to see sections of the text released in draft form as Premium content, just so you can get a head start in your adventuring. Once all the art is done, the finished module will be released in its entirety. Expect a format similar to "Anzeloria".
FYI, there is also a nice Kamerand map in inventory, but no text or index, yet. A base Mernat map was already released as Premium content. There are also base maps in inventory for all the other archipelagos, so the full circumnavigation idea is not entirely a pipe dream.
I especially like it how it complements the Mengola-map. All we need now is a Mengola Index and extensive modules covering each and any local site on both maps. :-)
Seriously spoken, seems we are now equipped for a circumnavigation of Lythia, though not yet of all Kethira. Time for an adventure?
Thank you! Looks really cool. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. Hopefully the full book will come soon.
The current Venârivè map has the topography layer.
You should be able to download from your account.
You are most welcome.
Thanks Lawrence, thought I seen it somewhere :p
Was hoping there was a layer for average temperature alongside the others
In the Venârivè: Northwestern Lýthia module see Appendix XVII that starts on page 217. Temperature info is on page 219, midway down the left column. You'll have to work out average teps from the various weather charts for yourself.
Just started on a project with a friend and noticed that there is no Temperature data on Venârivè: Northwestern Lýthia.
Is this missing, elsewhere, or not available?
There is precipitation, wind, ocean currents, climate, but I'm after average temperatures across Venârivè :(
Ah, thought that was bound to happen, thanks for the clarrification Jeremy.
Wish they'd used all the proper accents personally :( so much easier to understand how to pronounce them when not on Terra.
We just released our latest - and largest ever - Atlas Keléstia square...
A gazetter and map of the heart of Venârivè. Over 200 city-states, great trading fleets and political intrigue abounds.

Burst Pipe Repair in Orange County
Responsive & Efficient Emergency Plumbing Services
If you've ever been present when a pipe has burst, you know just how unsettling it can be. One minute everything is humming along like normal and the next, there is chaos as water is pouring everywhere. The first reaction of many homeowners is panic, which is understandable, but it won't help you minimize the damage and bring help to your door. This is an anxious time for any homeowner, but don't hesitate to call for help.
Take the time to research plumbing professionals when everything is calm, and you'll have the number ready to call if and when you need it. When you choose Dial One Sonshine, we will send an experienced emergency plumber to your location right away.
For emergency burst pipe repair in Orange County, call (714) 252-7460 today.
What Causes a Pipe to Burst?
One of the main reasons pipes burst is from the water inside expanding due to freezing temperatures. That's not likely to happen here in California, but pipes can still burst due to normal aging and weakening from the constant water pressure flowing through. Tree roots are another culprit, growing toward the water source and crowding the pipes until they break.
Fast Action Is Key to Minimizing Damage
As you can imagine, every second counts when a pipe has burst on your property. Before you call the plumber, find the main water shut off valve and stop the flow. This will reduce the level of damage and make things easier during the clean-up. Become familiar with its location now, so you know where it is in an emergency. Even though you may be in a state of disbelief, it is important to act quickly to minimize damage. Call an expert to come take control of the situation as soon as possible. Finding Orange County plumbers you can trust and having their number at the ready is a smart strategy.

Suzanne Dickenson
-Board Member-
Who am I, why am I here, what's my purpose? Those amazing three questions several years ago set Suzanne on a journey of self-discovery. She explains that her journey started by learning to meditate, which was not easy as her thoughts were constantly wandering. Now, Suzanne says that her life has been transformed through meditation and, while at times her mind still wanders, she is easier on herself and able to bring herself back to center.
In her own words, "Through all of life's challenges, I've been a student and fellow traveler discovering my inner potential and becoming more of my authentic self. I'm learning to blend my spiritual and metaphysical selves and the tools offered by the Jwalan Mutkika School have enhanced my process. I've come to understand that we are all fellow travelers and that some of us need a situation or an epiphany in order to awaken our true potential and fulfill our purpose. My home in the woods of Montana surrounds me with solitude. Here, nature speaks to me through the trees and the birds and animals that come to visit, and I am enveloped in tranquility and peace."
It is Suzanne's belief that the Jwalan Muktika School for Illumination is a community that gives the building blocks to support individual personal growth.

Dialogue between the Theater and the City
Harvard GSD M.Arch 1 Thesis
Program: Theater
Location: Busan, Korea
Year: 2012
Theater was originated from ancient Greek. It arose as a performance of ritual and civic activity. For last 40 years, theater has been built as the icon of the city. Many cities tried to express their economic and cultural growth by the sculptural gesture of the theater. However, theater's iconic image overwhelms its function. Theater is isolated form the city in term of programs and location. The new theater typology will provide the chance which the theater can communicate with the city. Theater needs to be iconic, and at the same time it must have close interaction with the city. Theater as a cultural and public building, it must create and accommodate diverse social environment and interactions. It might be a timely reaction of structure, material, forms, or spatial programs.

Making a movie involves running numerous images within a given time period. The more images uses in the same space, the more a dynamic perception of the space can be created. Living can be realized as the assembly of activities within the space. In this way, a house can be act like a camera. The "Sigma House" is the spatial projector which presents activities into the existent space. A space is an activity. By combining certain activities, a certain available space can be created depending on the user's needs. A tenant will experience various scenes in this sense like a film although he or she lives a minimum space.

by Anton Parsons for SCAPE Public Art Season 2017
Two impressive sculptures forged from metal by Auckland-based artist Anton Parsons, Myopia and Acquiesce, are here in residence at the Christ's College Quadrangle. Myopia
Acquiesce, like Myopia, also features patterning in braille, but the meaning of the text is more ambiguous. It could be a highly sophisticated code or pure decoration, or something in-between. The form is an abbreviated version of the seam of a tennis ball, a linear shape that Parsons has been working with since 2006. This seam is a clever geometrical solution to form a robust 3D sphere from a 2D surface. Here the form has less a utilitarian role, more a metaphorical one. The form has no beginning or end; it is endless. The application of braille to a 3D four-sided profile further challenges a simple translation, and offers the viewer scope for interpretation.
Anton Parsons
Based in Auckland, Anton Parsons is one of New Zealand's leading sculptors. He graduated from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts in 1990.

It's been awhile, even longer than I intended as Google doesn't seem to want to let me log into my account! But anyway... so many films and other cultural things to share.
Most recently, I watched Certain Women, written and directed by Kelly Reichardt, which prompted me to ponder the slowness of cinema. These days I find myself becoming quite impatient with slow-burning films. I was unimpressed with Moonlight, in part because it moved so glacially, though I had other problems with it, most notably in the characterisations.
But, with Certain Women, I could accept the aesthetic. Reichardt is known for her attention to the minutiae of characters' existence, and in Certain Women, we find this multiplied by three, as there are three distinct plotlines involving characters played by Laura Dern, Michelle Williams and Lily Gladstone, living in the wide open spaces of Montana. I felt the Williams plotline was the weakest and added nothing to the film. But, the first and third worked for me, and even if I got a bit restless watching Gladstone's Rancher repeatedly feeding her horses, trailed by a yippy dog, the repeated actions made sense: here is a creature of routine who has little human contact. When she meets Kristen Stewart's law student-tutor, her routine is disrupted and she can dream of other modes of being. When this doesn't quite happen, the sadness is possible.
Dern's branch of the story features some jet-black comedy as her lawyer attempts to help a client going off the rails, even to the extent that she is sent into a building where he is holding a security guard hostage. Their exchanges are bitterly humourous.
So, here we have rather desperate human beings attempting to connect with one another, with fractious results. Reichardt's view of humanity may be bleak but it is also beautiful.

I'm convinced that when you cook with homemade and homegrown ingredients, your meals turn out even more satisfying and unique! Case in point: making this braised chicken dish with garden-grown fava beans!
This last December, Adrian and I reserved a huge patch of our garden for favas, also referred to as a "broad bean." We usually like to mix up the areas we plant in order to diversity our garden, but this year we decided to see what would happen if our favas had their own designated area.
Let me tell you, our fava field did not disappoint when it matured in April! We harvested at least a few pounds, which we definitely couldn't eat all in one sitting. So we preserved them instead.
How did we preserve our fava beans? The first thing we did was blanch them. Blanching beans preserves their vivacious color and smooth texture and allows them to retain up to 1300% more vitamin C than they would unblanched. After letting the favas cool, we vacuum sealed them and put them in the freezer.
When I need them for recipes like this, all I have to do is take out my desired quantity of beans, thaw, peel, and throw them into whatever I'm cooking! Easy peasy.
Fava beans have the power to add a fun texture to any dish, especially when paired with chicken and artichokes. Fava beans also contain a high concentration of potassium, magnesium and zinc.
In this dish, paring favas with artichokes is neat because they are said to help detoxify the body and aid with digestion discomfort. When put together, artichokes and chicken are a match made in heaven. Combining all of these ingredients and adding wine really allows for the flavors to be fused together and lends a very Mediterranean flavor to the dish!
This meal is perfect for a warm summer night. With it's Italian influence, it'll send you to sunset in Tuscany. Pair with a dry Sauvignon Blanc and voila, dinner is served. It's even great as leftovers the next day!
Braised Chicken with Artichokes and Fava Beans
Adapted from Bon Appétit Test Kitchen
Time: 1 Hour
Serves 4
1 cup fresh fava beans (from about 1 pound pods)
Kosher salt
2 lemons, halved
3 pounds baby artichokes (about 16)
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
1 3 1/2 pound chicken, cut into 10 pieces
8 shallots, peeled, halved
1 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
Cook fava beans in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a colander set in a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain, remove skins, and place beans in a small bowl.
Squeeze lemons into a large bowl of cold water. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, remove tough dark outer leaves. Using a serrated knife, cut off 1" from top, then trim stem, leaving at least 1/2" intact. Using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, remove dark outer layer from stem. Cut artichoke in half lengthwise, scoop out choke with a spoon, and discard. Transfer artichoke to lemon water to prevent it from turning brown.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Drain artichokes and pat dry. Add to pan; season with kosher salt and pepper, and cook, tossing occasionally, until brown and crisp in places, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet. Wipe out pot.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same pot over medium-high heat. Season chicken with kosher salt and pepper. Working in 2 batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until brown and crisp, 6–8 minutes (do not turn). Transfer to baking sheet with artichokes.
Reduce heat to medium, add shallots to pot and more oil if needed, and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and beginning to soften, 8–10 minutes. Add wine, vinegar, and broth, and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pot; cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add artichokes and chicken, skin side up. Transfer to oven and cook, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, 20–25 minutes. Mix in fava beans.
Serve chicken and vegetables topped with chives and parsley and seasoned with sea salt and pepper.

Tea partiers descend on Capitol Hill

It may well be that the frustration expressed by activists – who came from Bluffton, S.C., Des Moines, Iowa, Dorris, Calif., and many other cities and towns across the country – far outstrips their influence over the final outcome of the legislation.
But they said it was important to let their elected officials how they felt.
Mary Beth Bishop of Monument, Colo., spent $500 on a plane ticket to lodge her complaints about the growth of government.
"We need to show up and uphold the Constitution," she said. "It wasn't written on toilet paper."
Boehner waved a copy of the Constitution while he quoted the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident," he said.
Many in the crowd held signs demeaning President Obama – and their feelings were echoed on stage.
Voight invoked Obama's now-strained relationship with the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright in his speech, saying "the lies and deception are blatant... Maybe it was the 20 years of sub-conscious programming by Rev. Wright to damn America."
One sign in the crowd read: "Obama takes his orders from the Rothchilds," a reference to theories of Jewish world dominance centered around the prominent Jewish family of Rothschilds.
Another target of the Tea Party protesters' ire was Pelosi.
"Nan-cy! Nan-cy!," the crowd jeeringly chanted, as if taunting a particularly hated member of the opposing team at a baseball game.
Pelosi obviously wasn't going to address the crowd, and her spokesman said Democrats were busy trying to pass a bill while Republicans played the role of obstructionists.
"While the Party of No holds a rally to once again say no, our health insurance reform bill was endorsed by the AARP and the AMA, and on the House floor, we are debating bipartisan legislation to create jobs by extending unemployment benefits and extend the first-time homebuyer tax credit," Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said. "We are continuing with our job of passing legislation that will help the American people."
Speaking on conservative talker Laura Ingraham's radio show this morning, Bachmann encouraged people listening to show up on the West Front steps, but she said they should show up with "cameras" instead of "pitchforks."
She got her wish: Photographs not firebombs.
Long before the event kicked off at noon, lawmakers visited one-by-one with their supporters.
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), wearing a jacket covered in pins and stickers reading "Yes! Freedom!," autographed tea bags.
"This is too great," King said as he shook hands across a wall like a presidential contender.

Why Hire a Tax Attorney?
Tax Attorneys are experienced in tax law and have the expertise to defend you from numerous IRS and State Tax Authority actions. Communications to an attorney are confidential and privileged which is very crucial in tax cases. Communications to accountants and enrolled agents are not similarly privileged.
Practice Areas
The Vasquez Law Office focuses on these main practice areas:
- Tax Planning and Preparation
- Tax Controversy and Resolution Services
- Small Business Formation and Tax Preparation

A seismic shift in outlook inspires Hannah to academic success
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2011 prompted Hannah Gray (nee Clifton) to give up a glamorous musical theatre career and pursue a career in journalism.
Hannah's previous line of work might seem a far cry from graduating from the University of Sussex on 14 July with a BA International Development, but it came quite naturally to her.
Her singing and dancing career took her round the world working on cruise ships. She also worked for Walt Disney in Paris, Milan, Tokyo and Istanbul. Along the way she sometimes saw poverty and social unrest.
Then, whilst working for Walt Disney in Japan, the earthquake and tsunami struck in March 2011. The theme park was flooded – not by the tsunami but by liquefaction, because the ground was weakened by the quake.
Her work stopped with the closure of the theme park and she found herself glued to the news about the main disaster zone nearby. The wall-to-wall coverage about the terror of aftershocks and whether the Fukushima nuclear plant would leak radiation was frightening but fascinating, Hannah says.
"I became very interested in journalism – as I felt lots of the media coverage was sensationalist. I wanted to watch to absorb the information but it also made me terrified."
At age 25 Hannah was counted as a "mature" student and a First Generation Scholar when she came to Sussex. "Facing three years of research, reading and revision felt daunting but I suspected I wanted to work in journalism and I wanted to acquire more knowledge about the world and gain the skills a degree brings, such as skilled analysis, critical thinking and improved communication," she says.
It was a culture shock at first being "argued under the table in seminars by younger bilingual bright sparks," she says.
Hannah certainly did not let that put her off though. She grabbed every opportunity she could find to increase her work load. She took several placements during her studies, including one in the news room at Heart Radio and another paid for by the University in the public relations office at the charity Sightsavers.
"I worked full time during the university work placement at Sightsavers and had to do weekly learning logs on top of full days plus a 6000 word report. The report was about celebrity advocacy for charities – I'd just worked with Lorraine Kelly on a BBC Radio 4 appeal, "she says.
Whilst all this was going on, she was also busy preparing for her wedding to dentist David Gray. "David proposed to me in December and we got married in the August between my second and third year. I planned for the wedding during my weekends," she says.
Despite all the distractions, she achieved a first class honours and won the Pramit Chaudhuri Prize for best performance in International Development. She plans to pursue a career in journalism next.

Brits living in the EU risk having their pensions frozen
By Daniela Esnerova
Britons living in the EU, who qualify for a state pensions uprate, could lose the guarantee after disorderly Brexit.
The British government has today outlined the ways how it intends to protect rights of its citizens living in the EU in the case of "no-deal Brexit."
As one of the protections, the Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay pledged to keep uprating state pensions of UK nationals living in the EU – but only if the EU reciprocates.
If the EU as a bloc does not reciprocate, the UK will need to strike individual deals with each of the 27 member states.
Failure to secure such deals – let it be with the EU as a whole, or individual member states – could jeopardize the 'triple-lock' – or a government's commitment state pension every year at a rate higher of inflation, average earnings or a minimum of 2.5 per cent.
This puts 470,000 UK qualifying nationals living in the EU in the risk of having their state pensions frozen.
AJ Bell senior analyst Tom Selby warns against complications of going down the route of negotiations with individual countries.
He says: "If a deal with the EU as a whole cannot be reached then the UK will likely have to negotiate reciprocal deals with each of the 27 member states. This could be a painfully drawn out process with no guarantee of success."

Who knew that something used in everyday gift wrapping for anniversaries, showers, birthdays or the holidays held a terrible secret power. A secret power capable of destroying our entire world. Okay, okay – this secret power, may not be that great, or that dangerous. But who would have ever thought that just unrolling a roll of scotch tape could generate enough energy to see through stuff.
{ad}It appears a couple of researchers over at UCLA have created a device that slowly unpeels a roll of scotch tape in a vacuum. When this happens, the interesting effect that is created is that the device emits X-rays. Yep, this device emits the same stuff used to see through your body when you visit the dentist or the doctor or emergency room. The explanation behind this X-ray tape generator, is that when the tape is unrolled, electrons jump to the sticky side of the tape. When this occurs, the electrons are slowed way down causing a lot of energy is released, some of it is in the form of X-rays. Watch the video to see a demonstration of the scotch tape X-ray machine in action.
Take a deep breath though. You don't have to start worrying that all this time wrapping presents, you were slowly giving yourself cancer. The X-rays are only capable of being generated in a vacuum and not in a regular atmosphere. But seriously – who would have thought such power could be generated by using such a mundane item?

Grand dream loses sheen in glare of daylight ($$$ LA community college GREEN energy building)
Los Angeles Times ^ | March 6, 2011 | Michael Finnegan and Gale Holland
Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2011 7:07:14 AM by Cincinatus' Wife
Larry Eisenberg had a vision. "Amazing," he called it. "Spectacular."
The Los Angeles Community College District would become a paragon of clean energy. By generating solar, wind and geothermal power, the district would supply all its electricity needs. Not only would the nine colleges sever ties to the grid, saving millions of dollars a year, they would make money by selling surplus power. Thanks to state and federal subsidies, construction of the green energy projects would cost nothing upfront.
As head of a $5.7-billion, taxpayer-funded program to rebuild the college campuses, Eisenberg commanded attention. But his plan for energy independence was seriously flawed.
He overestimated how much power the colleges could generate. He underestimated the cost. And he poured millions of dollars into designs for projects that proved so impractical or unpopular they were never built.
These and other blunders cost nearly $10 million that could have paid for new classrooms, laboratories and other college facilities, a Times investigation found.
The problems with Eisenberg's energy vision were fundamental. For starters, there simply wasn't room on the campuses for all the generating equipment required to become self-sufficient. Some of the colleges wouldn't come close to that goal even if solar panels, wind turbines and other devices were wedged into every available space.
Going off the grid did not make economic sense either. Given the cost of alternative energy technology, it would be more expensive for the district to generate all its own electricity than to continue paying utilities for power.
Weather and geology also refused to cooperate.
What is it that makes them so flucking STUPID?
Weed? Tofu? Their boyfriends constant pounding from behind?

-Impact of Organic Ranking on Ad Click Incrementality (Google)
- Google reported last summer that nixing paid search ads (from a balanced paid and organic search marketing strategy) would result in an 89% drop in clicks
- In response, Google just released new research that sheds light on the original findings — particularly that 89% figure, which makes more sense when you consider that paid search ads appear without an accompanying organic search result on pages 81% of the time, on average
- Based on the revised data, Google found that even when a brand is ranked No. 1 for search on an organic basis, they can get 50% more clicks on average by paying up for an accompanying ad
- Read the full report here
-Optimizing News for Searchers, Search Engines & News Publishers (Search Engine Watch)
- It appears that readers of news data are still more likely to go directly to a "news" specific search engine than they are to run news searches on search engines themselves
- Based on the intelligence available, there are opportunities for news publishers and marketers to better allocate their advertising resources that could drive better click-through rates and engagement
- News searchers type in a news destination first, and then search for specific news stories after arriving on those news sites.

Saliva Interview
Michelle LaRose talks with Josey Scott for Garage Radio Magazine
Photographs by Michelle LaRose
Grammy nominated band Saliva hails from Memphis Tennessee and are currently on tour promoting their new album Blood Stained Love Story. Blood Stained Love Story has already produced and number two hit on the mainstream rock charts, Ladies And Gentlemen.
It's no surprise that the new album is doing so well so soon. They still carry the momentum of their lat three albums behind them, which produced such hits as Click Click boom, Always and Your Disease.
We were able to sit down with lead singer Josey Scott and discuss the new album, file sharing, his wedding at Elvis Presley's Graceland and the future Saliva album.
GR: Josey, you have a new member of the band, Jon, tell us a little bit about Jon.
Josey: He has always been in the band. He filled in for Chris when Chris was in the hospital. Chris just wasn't the right guy for us. Jonny was, we knew it and he knew it
GR: I have seen him on the internet. I haven't seen him live yet. He looks like a very colorful character.
Josey: Oh yeah. We've always been fans of Nikki Sixx, me and him, ever since we were kids. We do something every day to be more and look more like Nikki Sixx
GR: So you've known Jon for a long time?
Josey: Oh yeah. Since we were kids. Since we were fourteen, fifteen years old.
GR: The new album Blood Stained Love Story was leaked to the file sharing network two days before the official release. How do you feel about this?
Josey: I love it.
GR: Really? Why?
Josey: How do you stop an earthquake? How do you stop a tornado? I could care less about that. Whatever gets our music out there in the peoples hands. I don't care if its free you know. That's not where we make our money anyway. We make a respectful living playing live shows and selling t-shirts and selling CDs at our shows and publishing and video games and stuff. So let em' do it. Whatever. We love it.
GR: You don't think the advent of file sharing is hurting you or the music industry per say?
Josey: No, no. Billy Corgan said back in 1992, "One day music will be free." and he was right. You cant put your hands on something spiritual like that you know. That's what faith means. Believing in something that you can't see. You can put your hands on a CD or an album but music floats through the air. Of course you can take it for free or you can do the noble thing and pay for it. The first time I got on Limewire I was like, "Wow!" I couldn't resist downloading all my favorite songs since I was a kid. So that's my response. How do you stop a hurricane? How do you stop an earthquake? You don't. You just have to ride it and get through it and make the best of it. It doesn't affect us anyway. We don't make money from that anyway, it's not part of our salary.
GR: Like I said, it was leaked two days before the official release. How do you think leaks like this happen?
Josey: Who knows man? It's trivial. I don't waste my time with such political trivial bullshit. I'm to focused on building a bridge between your heart and mine. Doing things that matter, touching peoples lives. I don't worry about anybody downloading my CD. If that's what keeps the shotgun out of their mouth, then praise the Lord.
GR: [Laughing] Best Buy has the limited edition of Blood Stained Love Story with a bonus disc containing two additional tracks. Why is there a limited edition as opposed to a twelve-track album?
Josey: I don't know. Clever marketing. Record company bullshit. Its something we really don't have a hand in. We recorded about sixteen or seventeen songs for that record. We all give each song what we feel like is its day in court. Each song is a single to us. We don't ever have any filler on our records. That's our intent. When you listen to the whole record you can listen to it from the beginning to the end… its not a concept record, it's a body of work. Each song is just as important as the last. You don't have two singles and a bunch of bullshit filler. Every song is a piece of our being you know. Its not just art, it's a piece of us.
GR: The writing process for Blood Stained Love Story started in July of 2005. Why did it take so long to make this album?
Josey: Because we planned on taking a year off and the acting gig I was doing ran into two years. That's when I was sitting down with Chris. He decided I was going to Hollywood and I wasn't coming back. I promised the guys that Saliva was my baby and I would never leave them. Just like with the Hero thing. He just got paranoid and it got the best of him you know.
GR: You went off and did Wanted. Tell us a little bit about that. I haven't talked to you since that all came about.
Josey: It was actually Aaron Spellings last television series that he produced called Wanted. It was a cop show about this elite FBI, LAPD, US Marshalls… somebody from each law enforcement group comes together to hunt down these awful people these child molester, drug dealer, murderous, serial killer mother fuckers. It was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about acting. I got to work with some pros. I was really nervous. Its one thing to chase the rabbit and it's another thing to catch it. I went to a third audition and saw Dave Mustaine at one of the auditions. He was like, "Awe man, you got the tattoos, your going to get it." And before you knew it, I had the part. I was really nervous after I had it because it was like, now its time to go to work you know. I had to learn all these lines. I told my Mother, "I have to act like I know what I'm doing until someone figures out that I don't know what I'm doing."
GR: [Laughing] What was the hardest part for you? Learning the lines?
Josey: Yeah probably. I've always wrote lyrics and poetry and stuff of my own so it's hard. In school I always had trouble retaining information like reading a story and retaining plot points. Like Nikki Sixx's book The Dirt, I could quote you chapters full of information from that but I have to be in love with it. I just kind of had to force feed myself the material. I like being a character actor. I don't call the people on the set their real names; I call them by their character names on the script. But I had a lot of fun. I really got into the character. I got to keep my southern accent. It was really cool.
GR: I heard the character was nothing like you, he was very technical, a techie.
Josey: He was really technical and he was really involved with computers but he was really kinda' of sexual a freak. I like to think I'm pretty freaky. I'm pretty good in the sack but I'm not…
GR: [Roaring with laughter]
Josey: But I don't want to stick a curling iron up somebody you know. He was pretty twisted. There was stuff in the script like we were busting this porno shop that had animal play and horse play and all that shit. It was pretty freaky.
GR: The last time I saw you, you had just got married. You got married at Graceland! Tell us about that. That had to have been awesome.
Josey: We met around… it was probably right after I interviewed with you, right around 2003 and we dated for about a year and got married one year to the day at Graceland. And yeah it was amazing. We were going to get married out in the country at some golf course or something and we went to this thing that the Grammy's put on called A Salute To Hero's. The Grammy's were honoring Ike Turner and Scotty Moore from Elvis's band, Elvis's guitar player and his drummer D.J. Fontana so we went, me and my girlfriend at the time went. We were planning on getting married and we were talking backstage and I was shaking and actually crying because I got to take a picture with Elvis's band.
GR: Because you're a huge Elvis fan.
Josey: Yes. I'm over there in the corner wiping tears away. Scotty Moore's wife, this little old lady comes up and starts talking to me and Kendra and she said, "You're going to get married, that's so sweet. Since you're such a big Elvis fan why don't ya'll just get married at Graceland?" And we were like, "What?" She was like, "Yeah, they have a little chapel in the woods and this that and the other." And we were like, "Wow, are you serious?" She set up an appointment and we went down there and toured the grounds and before you know it, it was going down. It was in the paper and it was a pretty big deal. We kinda' wanted to keep it private but… She's not used to it but I love publicity and the whole deal and everything. Our wedding invitation came out in the paper. It was really cool it said at the bottom, "Second hand attire required." So everybody showed up dressed pretty slutty, bustiers, high heels, it was dope. So we got married at the house. We took some beautiful pictures out in front of Graceland. Across the street in the pavilion we had our reception. We had four different food sections and they were named after Elvis's movies. They had Viva Las Vegas, Wild In The Country, Kissin' Cousins it was badass. We had country food like catfish and corn on the cob, fried chicken, shit like that. It was awesome
GR: I recently read that you're a father now.
Josey: Yes.
GR: Tell me, what's his name? How old is he? Do tell everything.
Josey: He's 18 months old today actually, is it the 19th? Four days ago. His name is Justice. Justice Brody. Whatever talent or creativity I have, he's got it in spades man. He's already playing harmonica and drums and singing and dancing. He's a total performer. He's as charismatic as hell. He's just walking around when he sees pretty girls and he flashes that smile, they all just melt right there. It's so awesome. I was a total nerd when I was a kid. I'm still terrified of beautiful women, as nervous as a cat at a dog show.
GR: So are you going to promote that to him? If he likes music so much are you going to encourage him to be a musician?
Josey: If he's passionate about it, like I know he probably will be, I'll nurture him. My parents tried to throw me into classes and teaching and all that shit. I was five years old taking drum lessons, I started playing drums first. By the third lesson my teacher walked me out to my dad's car and said, "I can't teach this kid anything he's going to play what the fuck he wants to play."
Josey: I remember him saying that. I thought that meant that I was a failure, that I could not do music. If he would have turned to me and said, "Son what I'm saying is, you play by ear and you like what you hear period." He wanted me to go dut-dut-dut, dut-dut-dut and I wanted to be Peter Criss, boom crash smash! Or at least attempt to start doing that. I wanted to go straight to the badass shit. He said, "Your son is going to play whatever the fuck he wants, he's not going to listen to anybody. He knows what he wants to play and he's going to do what he wants to." What he was saying is, this kid has ears and he wants to play what he hears inside his head. It would have been really encouraging but at the time I was devastated, you know, mortified. But I kept playing drums and I didn't start singing until I was about nine. I hated it; after they found out I could sing… oh I hated my parents for making me sing at every talent show and barbeque contest and everything they could think of. I called them Redneck Stage Parents.
GR: [Laughing]
Josey: But now looking back on it, I really thank God that they did that because they taught me the landscape of my voice at a really young age that I wouldn't have known otherwise.
GR: Yeah I don't think people really do appreciate their parents until later on. You have a video for Ladies And Gentleman are there plans for any more videos for the new album?
Josey: We just did something for King Of The Stereo. It was for ESPN. ESPN is doing a lot of stuff with music. We actually did it with this football team, the winningest high school football team in the nation They're from West Monroe Louisiana. They wanted us to change the song to King Of The Stadium so we went in the studio and it took me like ten minutes… I flipped the words around so we shot a video for King Of The Stadium for a reality show on ESPN. Its going to be running on there for the next year or so. That's a good promotional tool you know.
GR: You guys have always been involved in the sport realm with Nascar and wrestling and stuff like that.
Josey: Ladies And Gentleman has done real well, same goes for Nasscar and the NFL Network.
GR: Even though this might be a little premature, even though the album is not quite a year old, are you thinking about the next album?
Josey: Yep. We always do a little bit of writing on the road. But we have just been in a writing frenzy on the road this time. We got the next record ready to go already. We could go into the studio tomorrow and record it. We have two albums worth of material.
GR: You're going to work with Bob Marlette again?
Josey: Oh yeah.
GR: That's great. So if you're that ready when could we see this new Saliva album?
Josey: We'll probably take time off for the holidays with our kids and our families then we'll probably record it in February. Its called MonStar.
GR: You've named it already! Can you tell us a little bit about it?
Josey: This record is really heavy. It's really technical. Not techno. Its sort of … like on each record we have always paid tribute to bands that we love like even on Blood Stained Love Story the song Going Under is our tribute to Coldplay because we like some of Coldplay's stuff. Twister is our tribute to Blink 182, we like some of their stuff. So different songs are different tributes to bands that have influenced us. And this record is a straight up tribute to Motley Crew, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie. You're only the second person I've told that to, the title of the record.
GR: That's cool. What other scoop can I get from you Josey?
Josey: I have a movie coming out.
GR: You do? Do tell.
Josey: A vampire movie with David from Disturbed. It's called The Devil Inside.
GR: When is that coming out?
Josey: I don't know. Its in pre-production right now so it shouldn't be long.
GR: You seem to have the acting bug. So you want to keep on acting?
Josey: Oh absolutely. As long as it doesn't get in the way of Saliva and I can get my little creative rocks off and get that money. As long as I can live comfortably and pay my child support and stay out of jail I'm going to do what I gotta' do. I'm also working on a clothing line.
GR: Oh really?
Josey: Me and Jonny Montoya, our guitar player, are doing a clothing line together. It's called Angels And Outlaws. It's still in pre-production. It's going to be a line. It's not going to be just t-shirts and hats. It's going to be some cool shit.
GR: Well Josey, thank you so much for talking to Garage Radio today.
Josey: My pleasure.

New habits: new habitats
It's winter here in the Southern Hemisphere! So in the cold weather here in Victoria I have been seeking the great indoors for my writing outings. This is the time of year when the Federal Coffee Palace at the MGPO is a little breezy, despite its gas heaters. So I have been supplementing my cafe writing stints with a new habitat, namely the lofty-ceilinged library of the RACV Club, a private Club based here in Melbourne that I am a relatively recent member of. The Club has great resources, and the Library is my favourite part of the entire setup. It has about 10,000 items that you can borrow as a member, although I prefer to read things there rather than take them home.
To top it all off, the Club is located right behind my apartment building. In addition to writing in the Library, I also love spending a few hours sitting in one of it's deep armchairs, reading through whatever my latest obsession is. In the interests of sharing, and on the topic of what I am reading, I am currently obsessed with the growing phenomenon that is Google+, and reading several books about using it for business. Nerdy, but interesting. For some reason, fiction is not holding my attention at the moment.
The Club is really becoming my home away from home - an extension of my personal living space. And to top it all off, there is a restaurant, a bistro and a café area, where I can read and write in comfort, and importantly stay warm.
