There is a symbiosis between popular culture and counter-culture. Both camps deride, and seem to feel threatened, by the other but they need each-other and form a dynamic system. That dynamism is vital. Cultural evolution is important whether in the mainstream or not, though perhaps for different reasons, and both camps stimulate evolution in the other.
The genesis of this post was a conversation with a friend about the banal nature of Top 40 music, specifically how similar much of it sounds. The initial gambit was, can the computer that writes these songs be rebooted. Much popular music does sound similar and while it has always been thus, to a degree, perhaps that is becoming a more pronounced trend in our age.
Popular music is to a large degree a commodity. Whether it is produced for a major label or by an independent writer the aim is to be liked. This is a tricky aim to achieve and perhaps the best route to success is to model a song on recent hits. This confers the advantage of association as well as being a sound use of a broad kind of market research. This tactic is not going to produce a fast pace of change. Paths become grooves that become ruts that in turn become canyons and will be followed until a wall is hit, perhaps several times with the head of many artists. Then the next path will be sought out.
This approach is not quite a computer but it is systematic and will tend to produce a homogenous output. What is important to note is that there is a feedback mechanism in the system. Future popular music will tend to follow successful past hits. Consumers have a strong influence on the process but only as a group not as individuals. This can be a frustrating position as influence is so dispersed that the lone music fan is disempowered. It is important to remember that music fans are part of a group too. If you don't like a song don't buy it and there's a chance it will fade away.
This homogeneity is useful socially. It creates a sense of belonging and cultural reference points that we can all refer to even if we don't like the individual song. I don't like California Gurls (sic) by Katy Perry Feat. Snoop Dogg, if fact I don't like it quite a lot, but I know it and can discuss its (lack of) merits easily, even though I am not a fan, knowledge of the song is an experience I share with many others.
This is an area where culture and counter-culture touch. Even the term counter-culture references mainstream culture and often quite deeply. The same friend who's poor ears were assaulted by the radio pointed to the relationship that visual artists like Gilbert Shelton, the creator of the sublime Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, amongst others, has to Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Culture provokes reactions that become counter-culture.
Counter-culture has a tricky path to navigate. To exist is must garner some attention but to accumulate too much risks traversing over the divide into the mainstream. This has risks and rewards. The most apparent and attractive reward is barrels of cash (potentially). If lots of folks like your work and will pay for it you can make lots of money. The risks are that you loose your credibility. This is beautifully illustrated in where can i order Dilantin (which everyone who thinks they know about music should own).
The boundary between popular and counter cultures is defined on an individual basis, or is at least individually variable. To some Rage Against the Machine are an example of counter-culture while to others they are sell-out frauds. In a kind of quantum model songs and bands can be both at the same time at least until they allow their music to be used in a TV advert for credit cards (like The Pixies). Commercial success within counter-culture is acceptable but there must be limits. Those limits are to do with commoditization. Once a work becomes a product it's out of the club.
It is interesting to note that the influence works in the other direction too and perhaps with more politeness too. Popular culture often uses counter-culture as a reference point to help itself over the roadblocks it runs into. In the above example Gilbert Shelton takes a spark from Hanna-Barbera and passes it on to Matt Groening. The Simpsons are an interesting case they are mainstream popular culture but the show has an agenda that appeals to counter-cultural sensibilities.
Nowadays the we have nested cultures and counter-cultures too. This pattern can be found within genres such Metal, hip-hop and country. They all have commoditized mainstream strands and counter-cultural strands within them. This iterative process probably extends into sub-genres too.
The idea that one approach is in its nature superior is what I am most worried about. Once hard barriers are put up definitions become set. This impoverishes our culture. The lines need to be porous so that artists can make money from time to time and the computer that writes top 40 hits can at least get some new input when those walls at the bottom of canyons are hit.

Holding an Employer Liable For Injuries Caused By Employees/
Picture this: A pizza delivery driver is running behind on schedule. In order to meet his goal, the delivery driver floors the gas pedal when a signal light is about to turn red. Although the driver gets lucky a few times, eventually his luck runs out. He rams a motorcycle as the next signal light changes.
Who should be held liable for the motorcyclist's injuries in this situation? The pizza delivery driver is the individual most responsible for the motorcyclist's injuries, but the delivery driver is unlikely to have the money necessary to compensate for the medical bills, let alone the full damage award. Many personal injury attorneys will focus on the employer in situations like this in order to ensure that their client receives the most compensation possible under the law.
Employers can be held accountable for the injuries their employees inflict on others through one of two different theories: direct liability or vicarious liability.
Direct Liability
Direct liability, as the name suggests, is when the employer is directly responsible for the injury. This sounds odd, given that the employer is only responsible through the employee's involvement. However, an employer can be directly liable when the "employer violated a duty of care it owed to the injured party and this negligence was proximate cause of resulting injury" (De Villers v. County of San Diego). From this case, we can identify three elements of direct liability. First, the employer must owe a duty of care to the injured party. Second, the employer must be negligent. Finally, the employer's negligence must be the cause of the victim's injuries.
The first requirement in this theory of liability is the duty between the employer and the injured party. The employer must have a legal obligation to the injured party to exercise a certain amount of care before the employer can be held directly liable. If there is no duty, the case against the employer cannot move forward.
For instance, in De Villers v. County of San Diego, the victim's family sued the county of San Diego for negligently hiring a drug addicted employee and for allowing that employee to steal enough toxins to poison her husband, the victim. Although the facts suggested the county had been negligent, the court found that the defendant did not owe any duty to the husband's family. The court ruled that a plaintiff who sues a public employer needs to show that the duty of care owed came from a statute and not just common notions of duty.
Direct liability typically involves negligent hiring, or failure to take reasonable care when hiring someone. "Under California law, an employer may be held directly liable for the behavior of an unfit employee where the employer was negligent in the hiring, training, supervising, or retaining of that employee" (Keum v. Virgin America Inc). In the pizza delivery example, the company could be directly liable if the company knew or could have known that the delivery driver had been responsible for numerous traffic accidents in the past, but retained him anyway.
Vicarious Liability
Vicarious liability is the process of holding a person accountable for the actions of another person, such as the employer-employee relationship (California Civil Code 2338). Vicarious liability involves the employee acting on behalf of the employer. "It is well established that traditional vicarious liability rules ordinary make principals or employers vicariously liable for acts of their agents or employees in the scope of their authority or employment (Meyer v. Holley). Since the employer is expected to be in control of the employee, the employer is at fault when the employee injures another person while the employee is working for the employer.
There are two elements required to hold an employer responsible for the actions of an employee through vicarious liability. First, the employer must have direction or control over the employee's work. This element eliminates independent contractors from vicarious liability. The employer must be in control of both the methods as well as the goals of business (Valles v. Albert Einstein Medical Center).
The second element, the scope of employment, is more often contested. This element asks whether the employee was "on the job" when the victim was injured. If the employee was working on behalf of the employer, the employer should be responsible for the victim's injuries because the employer could predict whether the accident would have occurred. One way to determine whether an employee acted within the scope of employment is by deciding whether the employee was on a detour or a frolic. A detour is a minor departure from duties while a frolic is a major departure from duties.
If the pizza delivery driver hit the motorcyclist while driving to a gas station, the delivery driver would be on a detour because gas is necessary for the driver to fulfill complete his job. If the delivery driver had hit the motorcycle on the way to his girlfriend's house, the delivery driver would be on a frolic.
An employee on a detour is more likely to be in the scope of employment than an employee on a frolic. An employee on a frolic is typically on the frolic for personal reasons unrelated to business. An employee on a detour, however, is still a representative of the employer. For example, in Vasey v. Surrey Free Inns, a manager assaulted a guest after the guest failed to leave the inn. Although the manager was on a detour from typical responsibilities, assaulting a guest was not part of the manager's job, the manager was still representing the inn during the assault and thus the inn was vicariously liable.
Although the distinction between frolic and detour appears to be clear, technology has made the line fuzzy. In Miller v. American Greetings Corp, the manager of the company was involved in an auto accident on his way to meeting with a probate attorney. Prior to the accident, the manager was on his cell phone with subordinates. However, the phone call was made a few minutes before the crash and it was unclear from the record whether the manger was still on the phone when the accident occurred. Although the courts eventually ruled that the manger was on a frolic, the case could have gone either way.
Direct liability and vicarious liability are the two legal theories personal injury attorneys use to hold an employer liable for victim's injuries. Direct liability is focused on employer negligence in hiring while vicarious liability is focused on the employee as a proxy for the employer. The two theories sometimes overlap, but they are two distinct theories.
The California Supreme Court made this clear in Diaz v. Caramo. The high Court ruled that if the employer admits to one theory, the employer cannot be liable for the other. Employers can only be accountable for one theory of liability because "employer's liability cannot exceed that of the employee driver who allegedly caused the accident." In other words, victims cannot collect more than the harm done to them by the employee.
If the employer is found liable though, the victim is more likely to be compensated for the harm done to them. Contact the Pivtorak Law Firm by calling (415) 484-3009, or click here to request a free, confidential consultation online.

- "They're a precious source of protein that comes from a Deku Hornet's hive. This material might be good for making something."
- — In-game description
Hornet Larvae is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It can be found in Deep Woods and is normally guarded by a swarm of Deku Hornets. In order to obtain it, Link must roll into a tree with a beehive on it (or knock the hive down with a projectile). There is a chance that the hive will drop some Hornet Larvae. A single Beehive also appears on outside of the Great Tree.
Hornet Larvae can be used to upgrade multiple items. It can be used to upgrade the Medium Bomb Bag, and the Hook Beetle into the Quick Beetle. Rupin will also purchase Hornet Larvae for 20 Rupees.

Can't say I have any interest in the whole Royal Wedding thing, but I ran across this and thought it was neat:
The Friends of Hackley Public Library in Muskegon are hosting a "Royal Breakfast" wedding-watching party as a fundraiser for the children's department of the Hackley Public Library.
According to an article in the Muskegon News, Friends President Kathleen Snider says that the children's department badly needs repairs: "Let the call go out to help the children, and we'll all put on our hats and gloves, even if we have to borrow them, and we'll be there."
Ticket information and more details are available here.

Four Ways Builders Sell Against Your Flip
Great deals for investors are found everywhere, including neighborhoods where builders are still trying to move homes.

A neighborhood right down the street from where I live has an active production builder that I would say had a decent 2010. In that same subdivision, there have been a handful of rehabbed foreclosures that seemed to sell profitably and few others that are still sitting, collecting dust, err, bills.
If you're going to dive into an opportunity in a community where the builder is still building, it's good to know their tactics. Believe me, they are prepared for the shopper that says "We just left the rehab down the street, it looks great, we love the price." The pros are well prepared to sell against even the best rehabbed, lowest priced home in a community. It's tricky, because the builder is selling a new home against a home they built in the past. They have to be very careful what they say.
Here are a few examples of what the builder is saying about your newly minted flip and ways to combat those points:
1. First and foremost, professional new home salespeople want to create value for building an new house while instilling doubt in the mind of the buyer about your home, or any other home for that matter, as a viable choice. While some more desperate salespeople may come out and outright trash your house the pros will simply drop nuggets like "That's not the one that had all the mold is it?", or "You mean the one that's been on the market since last Easter, yeah it's nice", and of course "Yeah, everyone visits that house before purchasing a new one from us". Builders will also do what they can to compare their reputation to you as an investor or weekend warrior and raise questions about your experience and know-how.
With this in mind, it helps to take every opportunity to give piece of mind to the prospective buyer. If you have some sales savvy it might help to be at the showings to discuss what actually took place during the rehab and your experience. If you or your agent can't be there, I would recommend a phone call / email prior each showing is in order to set expectations. Nicely done notes in key locations throughout the house mentioning the new or updated furnace, re-finished hardwoods, etc can help send the message as well.
More often than not, you have done things to the house the create a lot of value. You need to get credit for these – the builders are.
2. Odds are good that the house you are rehabbing is at lease 3 years old. With this in mind, the sales pros will sell the benefits of the newer options and the great energy efficient products that they use today that they didn't offer a few years back.
You can combat the new options offered today with all the upgrades added during the rehab, assuming there are a few, just make sure the buyers know about them. Regarding energy efficiency, your house has a utility history – it's black and white what the monthly costs will be. If it tells a great story about the house, use it to your advantage. Lastly, remember and point out all the things the previous owners did to the house that builders simply don't do in many cases – blinds, sprinkler systems, garage door openers, window treatments, nicer landscaping, a refrigerator, etc. Most of these will be large out of pocket expenses for new home buyers.
If you are priced well below the builder, create a side by side comparison of all options in your house verse theirs. Basically, you want to show exactly what it would cost today to duplicate the house at today's prices. Then, blow up the comparison and place somewhere in the house where you can't miss it. Also, add it to your flyers, MLS listings, emailed announcements, etc.
3. Builders love to talk up their new home transferable warranties. This said, get to know the warranty offered by the builder and see what, if anything, was transferred to you.
One way to combat the builder warranty is to obviously offer one of your own – by a third party. The fact that your house comes with a warranty will give piece of mind and at least give the impression that you stand behind your product. Third party endorsements on service calls, if you do them, come in handy here too.
4. It kills me when I view a rehabbed house down the street from a builder spec that isn't polished. Builders keep their specs crisp and you should too. Nothing says don't buy me more than a dirty or unfinished rehabbed house. Attention to detail is a must. Remember, buyers purchase homes on emotion. Anything that will stand in way from them thinking about how they would live in the house will hinder the sale. Simple things like a loose front doorknob, a bad house smell, dinged up walls can make a big difference.

The rumor of a second screen on the LG G5 has been flying around in the open for quite some time now. Today, however, brings new proof for the theory, courtesy of Evan Blass, who has proven quite a reputable source in he past.
Finally saw the G5; secondary screen confirmed. Evan Blass (@evleaks) February 16, 2016
Sadly, no more information was shared on the feature, but, we can only assume that it will resemble the one on the LG V10 or the recently announced "X" line of devices. However, there is also a possibility for the 160 x 1040 pixel resolution and/or the size of the module to be changed for the new flagship. It is also worth noting that this does not necessarily negate the "Always ON" display functionality of the G5, which was recently teased by the manufacturer. Put the two together and the LG does have a unique mix to stand out from the crowd.
LG's announcement event for the handset at MWC 2016 is officially set for February 21, which just so happens to coincide with Samsung's unveiling of the Galaxy S7 line, so, it is definitely shaping up as an interesting day.
Ok, but if it has 3000mAh or less, then S7 Edge is my next phone...
I wonder if it will be an E-Paper display on the back side similar to the Yota phone from Russia?
I have the suspicion that the secondary display is embedded IN the main display. Meaning it's a small square within the main display that can be powered separately. Hence the always-on.

Chesapeake Region 2012 CoalitionWashington,
Olympic Bid Document Preparation
The Baltimore-Washington region wanted to make a bid for the hosting of the 2012 Summer Olympics and needed assistance with authoring the bid documents and overall strategic direction. B&D, along with HNTB Architects and Parsons Brinkerhoff, took on this work. We prepared four of the bid documents' themes, each one entailing: development of the schedule, taking all logistical and operational ramifications into consideration; selection of a site for the Village, allowing maximum accessibility and security; development of an inventory of the hotel infrastructure of the area, complete with planned projects; and preparation of a complete budget with a cash flow forecast giving projected revenues and expenses. In the fall of 2001 Washington, DC was selected as a Candidate City finalist, and we provided services for the plan refinements. In the end, New York City was selected as the U.S. Host City.

Yahoo 'threatened' by US government with $250,000-a-day fine
Yahoo said the US government threatened to fine it $250,000 a day if the search giant failed to hand over user data.
According to court documents, the National Security Agency (NSA) had demanded that Yahoo comply with new surveillance rules, something the company said was unconstitutional.
Yahoo failed in a court challenge on the constitutionality of the order.
But the details emerged on Thursday when a federal judge ordered the unsealing of some material about the case.
Yahoo's general counsel Ron Bell said publication of the material was "an important win for transparency".
Yahoo said that the government amended a law to demand user information from online services, prompting a court challenge. Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden disclosed the programme last year.
But the court documents reveal that the battle over surveillance between technology firms and the US government stretched back years before the Snowden revelations.
The new material about the case, first reported by the Washington Post, underscores "how we had to fight every step of the way to challenge the US government's surveillance efforts',' Mr Bell added.
"At one point, the US government threatened the imposition of $250,000 in fines per day if we refused to comply," he said.
About 1,500 pages of previously classified documents were unsealed by a federal court.

Boys' Function F_m(z) that appears in the quantum mechanics of Gaussian Type Orbitals is a special case of Kummer's confluent hypergeometric function. We evaluate its integral representation of a product of a power and an exponential function over the unit interval with the numerical Gauss-Jacobi quadrature. We provide an implementation in C for real values of the argument z which basically employs a table of the weights and abscissae of the quadrature rule for integer quantum numbers m <= 129.

So, in the spirit of generosity and repetition, we at ThinkWall thought we'd write another awesome guide to follow on from our previous one that showed you how best to use social media at events (click here to get your free copy).
I know what you're thinking, 'ThinkWall you stylish rapscallion, why would you, a groundbreaking, dynamic social media events service, produce a guide on not using social media for an event?'.
To which we'd say, 'Well Rupert', because your name would be Rupert, 'being the revolutionary, well groomed and recently waxed service that we are, it occurs to us that there are a number of events happening which want to involve audience participation, but don't want the conversation they're having broadcast to the wider world'.
'For example Rupert, lets say that Blofeld, Skeletor or The League of Evil are holding their AGM in a hollowed-out volcano and want to take a vote from their minions on whether next year's overly elaborate death trap will feature sharks, piranhas or particularly rabid Bielibers. With ThinkWall's SMS voting and Q&A functionality, you can gather and review your audiences feedback in realtime and neither the public nor the FBI (oh wait) nor… Batman will be any the wiser.'
'Where can I find a copy of such a fine guide?' You say, your bobble hat jiggling with anticipation.
'Why Rupert you impetuous little scamp, just click the link and we can send you a copy of our non-social media guide right away'.

CIRCLE JERKS – live in San Francisco, ailment 1981
This bootleg (which must be a board recording, see because of how good it sounds) was called "Live On Broadway". Not sure if there was a venue in SF called The Broadway, population health or if it's just a joke. Either way, it doesn't matter.

Black Randy was a truly whacked individual who blazed his way through the original L.A. punk scene until his demise from AIDS somewhere in the 1980s. His scorched punk funk bears some resemblance to that of the James Chance/Contortions axis, but Randy's words are considerably more nihilistic (if you can believe that!), as well as funnier. Many gross and wonderful tales about the man can be found in the excellent oral history "We Got The Neutron Bomb" –
The three tracks I recommend the most are "I Tell Lies Everyday" (with a wicked high-pitched backing vocal chorus), "Down At The Laundromat" (the sleaziest white reggae possible), and the band's completely frantic cover of James Brown's "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose". The download here is the extended CD version of the record, with several bonus tracks.

My life can get mighty hectic, since not only do I do this site and have a weekly radio show on KXLU, but I'm also in three bands at the moment. They each hold different pleasures for me, as far as regularly playing in them, but the one that raises the most eyebrows seems to be Nilbog, a Goblin cover band. Goblin, in the '70s and '80s, did the soundtracks for most of Dario Argento's films, like "Suspiria", "Deep Red" and "Tenebre", as well as scores for plenty of other Italian genre films.
Since I've starting playing bass in this band, I've made it my mission to track down every Goblin record, which can be difficult, since not only did they do studio albums and soundtracks, but sometimes they also put out stuff under pseudonyms and alternate band names. This album, "Discocross", is apparently one of the least-known records by the group; it's an LP that not a single one of my four Nilbog bandmates had even heard of. The fan site Goblin.org sez:
"The more casual Goblin fans moreso celebrate the band's first few albums as their best and would consider their next venture, 'Discocross', to be the beginning of their downfall. 'Discocross' contained Goblin's least interesting music, being a collaboration between the band and composer Giorgio Farina apparently for the soundtrack to another Italian television programme. In fact, it may even be fair to say that 'Discocross' is not a Goblin album, as the band name does not appear anywhere on the LP likely due to contractual obligations. None of the music was written by Goblin, instead written by Giorgio Farina who the album is solely credited to. The sounds were pure instrumental disco with sound effects overtop, sadly lacking the incomparable style that earned Goblin their reputation. 'Discocross' has become the Goblin's rarest LP in recent years, merely being a piece of interest for pure Goblin fans who wish to follow the band's work from beginning to end."
The above review doesn't seem to take into account that even though Goblin didn't write this music, these extended disco cuts (the album is only three songs, but clocks in at thirty minutes) are almost identical in tone and feel to the Goblin score for the Italian cop film "Squadra Antigangsters" from the same year, 1979. The first track, "Farina's Suite", is the longest (15 minutes), but goes through several different distinct funky movements; there's even a few cool animal-sounding distorted vocoder growls buried under the surface here and there. The second track is somewhat blander, and the third, complete with strangely-placed racing car sound effects, is mostly just a reprise of the first, but played in a looser, more spacey way.

JELLO BIAFRA on "THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW" (198?)
I'm not sure which of the two Biafra vs. Tipper Gore appearances this audio is from, but in any case, it's a nice little historical document to have. This excerpt is a sparring match between Biafra, who at the time was embroiled in an obscenity trial regarding H.R. Giger artwork included as an insert with the DK album "Frankenchrist", and Gore, who was one of the heads of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), an organization founded by several senators' wives in the '80s to combat what they saw as "alarming trends" in popular music.

KYLE MacLACHLAN – "DIANE: THE TWIN PEAKS TAPES OF AGENT COOPER" (1990)
Conceived as a audiocassette promotional product tie-in with the then-current TV series, viagra
this is a montage of all the times during the first season of "Twin Peaks" that Agent Cooper, information pills
so expertly played by Kyle MacLachlan, mind talks to the mysterious "Diane", his assisstant back at the FBI headquarters. TwinPeaks.org mentions:
"The tape includes such gems of Cooperian philosophy as "Leasing may be the fast track to affluence, but equity will keep you warm at night.""
I remember seeing this for sale back when it came out, stuck in the magazine racks at the Ralphs supermarket near my house when I was a kid (the show was originally on-the-air right as I was finishing elementary school). I had two similarly precocious friends at that school, who remain close to me to this day, who would watch every broadcast episode. I was mostly unfamiliar with the inter-character relationships and the arcs of the overall show when they took me to the cinema to see "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me", which subsequently changed my life. The film makes as little sense now as it did then, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The "Artist's Description" column on the Factrix page under the Music heading of Download.com sez:
"Sonic-terrorists Factrix (San Francisco, 1979-1982) were amongst the original instigators of 'Industrial music'. Consisting of Bond Bergland, Cole Palme, and Joseph Jacobs (and occasionally joined by Monte Cazazza), Factrix raised an ungodly caterwaul. Employing modified electronic devices, an abused drum machine, feedback, processed 'radio-gitarre', 'glaxo-bass', and other unconventional instruments, the resulting tortured sound defied all formulas and bore little resemblance to anything else occurring at that time. Factrix performed their first two shows as Minimal Man (with Patrick Miller), later playing gigs with bands such as SPK, Cabaret Voltaire, DNA, Nervous Gender, Tuxedomoon, and Bachelors Even (Christian Marclay). Frequent collaborators included Monte Cazazza, Mark Pauline (Survival Research Lab/SRL), and Tana Emmolo-Smith. Ruby Ray (who provided live projections for Factrix), was also the photographer who helped define the look of such seminal underground publications as 'Search and Destroy' and the original tabloid version of 'Re/Search', who later put out the 'Industrial Culture Handbook'.".
Also, Wikipedia sez:
"California Babylon (LP) (Subterranean Records, 1982) – from a live performance with Monte Cazazza. This performance -which included Anabel Lee, Tana Emmolo, and a robotic pig named 'Piggly Wiggly' (made by Mark Pauline, of Survival Research Labs/SRL)- was videotaped and entitled 'Night of the Succubus'."

Trouser Press sez:
"It's difficult to categorize Fingerprintz, which may explain why the group never garnered a large following. The primitively recorded first album occupies a dark, throbbing zone of bobbing pop and wry-to-bizarre lyrics…[l]eader/guitarist Jimme O'Neill's Scottish accent and offbeat songwriting combine to chilling effect…
…The considerably slicker 'Distinguishing Marks', in contrast, is pure pop in extremis — musically, anyway. The songs hum like a finely tuned motor, with producer Nick Garvey removing any rough sonic edges. Only the relentlessly perverse lyrics betray a refusal to play by the book; O'Neill's disjointed visions are inspired by pulp fiction, police blotters and hospital charts. A catchy collection that all sounds like hit single material.
'Beat Noir' took yet another 180-degree turn, away from pop and towards a rock/funk fusion. Finally in synch with the times, Fingerprintz delivered a stunning, idiosyncratic package of heavy bass lines, winsome melodies and O'Neill's thematic fetishes (paranoia, frustration). The album was kinky enough to catch on in rock clubs, but too peculiar to reach a broader audience. (The US version deletes two songs.) Drenched in atmosphere, it remains a compelling work."
"Beat Noir" is quite glossy, and it's because of that that none of the songs, while all interesting, really stand out at all from each other. "Distinguishing Marks" is where the meat of the band lies, with the one-two punch of "Radiation" and "Jabs" making it very worthwhile.

He went from Eagle Scout to Wall Street titan, designed a machine that sits on bankers' desks around the world and reshaped notions of New York City government.
On Friday, asked to convey the magical formula that has catapulted him to the elite of American political and corporate life, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg ticked off a few of his tips for success: arrive early, stay late, eat lunch at your desk.
Oh, and don't go to the bathroom so much.
That last recommendation — peculiar and abstemious, yet positively Bloomberg — was tossed off by the mayor during a riff on his regular radio program, and it prompted no small amount of mockery.
Even for a citizenry accustomed to a mayor who relentlessly tinkers with the minutiae of daily life, this bit of personal advice may have been a touch too, well, personal.
"If you think about it, this advocacy fits hand in glove with the soda ban," wrote one wag on Twitter, referring to the diuretic nature of cola.
"Mind over bladder," wrote another online wit.
Late in the day, an editor at New York magazine made clear he had taken the mayor's advice to heart. "Just went to the bathroom," Dan Amira, the editor, posted on Twitter. "Feel like a failure."
Mr. Bloomberg, no stranger to dispensing work advice, had tucked his restroom recommendations into a broad prescription, saying, "Take the fewest vacations, the least time away from the desk to go to the bathroom or have lunch."
It remains unclear if Mr. Bloomberg follows his own advice to the letter.
Several of his current and former aides declined to discuss the subject for the record — "I don't think I want to be commenting on the mayor's urinary habits," said one — but a few shared their thoughts on the condition of anonymity, so as not to offend the subject.
One former City Hall official pronounced himself stunned that Mr. Bloomberg apparently demanded strictness in that particular matter.
"He drinks more coffee than anybody I'd ever seen," the official said. "He drinks coffee like you and I would drink water if you were running a marathon."
"It gives you a sense of the discipline," the aide said, sounding somewhat awed.
Stu Loeser, Mr. Bloomberg's former press secretary, declined to comment about the mayor's bathroom-related beliefs.
But Mr. Loeser said the advice was in keeping with Mr. Bloomberg's broader philosophy of efficiency and hard work.
"He's not into lollygagging," Mr. Loeser said.
There are no policies in effect about bathroom use at City Hall, according to a spokesman for the mayor, Marc La Vorgna.
Mr. Bloomberg does indeed eat lunch most days at his desk, a task made easier by the copious amounts of complimentary, low-calorie snacks and drinks available in the City Hall bullpen, as the office is called.
Mr. Bloomberg was an early adopter of providing free food in the workplace, instituting the practice at his media company as a way to encourage employees to mingle more and spend less time away from their desks.
His firm, Bloomberg L.P., does not have a formal policy about bathroom use, although several disgruntled employees complained to Gawker last year that the restrooms in the company's Manhattan skyscraper were designed to discourage lingering — citing small space and a nonstop feed of Bloomberg Television.
Asked about the mayor's advice, David Samadi, chairman of the urology department at Lenox Hill Hospital, said he admired Mr. Bloomberg's push for efficiency, but thought he had picked the wrong example for it.
"As a urologist, you always discourage people from keeping their bladder full," Dr. Samadi said in an interview, noting that resisting the urge to urinate could lead to kidney problems over time.
Dr. Samadi added that a few minutes spent in the bathroom each day might cost a company less than footing the bill for an employee's long-term medical bills.
Plus, he said, "I don't think it's going to affect productivity, unless you're out every hour."

BBC ALBA today (Tuesday) reveals extended live coverage of this year's Royal National Mòd, which is taking place across Lochaber.
Cathy MacDonald will present seven programmes from Fort William, which will include 15 hours of live programming.
The adult competition kicks off on Wednesday, and will focus on the Comunn Gàidhealach Gold Medal competition for singing.
Joining Cathy to provide analysis of the competition will be Margaret MacLeod, previous winner of this competition and singer with the celebrated Gaelic band Na h-Òganaich. Also in the studio will be acclaimed South Uist singer, Gillebride MacMillan, also a past winner of the Gold Medal.
On Thursday afternoon, and for the first time, BBC ALBA will broadcast live coverage of two of the most prestigious competitions when rural choirs compete for the Lorn Shield and also the Sheriff MacMaster Campbell Memorial Quaich.
Last year, Barra Gaelic Choir won the Shield for the first time while Islay Gaelic Choir will be hoping to win the Quaich for the second year running.
Choral director Iseabail Mactaggart and young musician Allan MacDonald will join Cathy to review both competitions.
The programme will also feature the Grampian Television Trophy winners and the best Puirt-a-beul rural choir.
Thursday evening's main highlight is the coverage of the traditional Gold Medal competition for singing.
Gaelic broadcaster Morag McDonald will analyse the performances alongside traditional singer Angus MacLeod who won this competition in 1995.
The final day of the competition sees ten choirs battle to win the coveted Lovat and Tullibardine Shield. Dingwall Gaelic Choir will attempt to win the competition again after being triumphant for the eleventh time in Stornoway, last year. Lisa MacNeil and Reverend Donald M MacInnes will reflect on what is sure to be an outstanding competition.
Friday's programme will also feature the Margrat Duncan competition along with the winners of the Esme Smyth Trophy and the Mull and Iona Shield.
BBC ALBA presenter Cathy MacDonald comments: "We're looking forward to some brilliant live music on BBC ALBA over the course of the next few days.
"There are some incredibly talented people and groups who will perform at one of the most celebrated events in the Scottish music calendar. Our Mòd should be spectacular!"
Mod coverage on BBC ALBA on Thursday and Friday will be from 1.30pm to 5pm.

Sarah produced exactly what I needed and ahead of time - I couldn't be happier with the results. As well as delivering work of excellent quality she was also exceptionally nice to work with - generous with her efforts, encouragement and suggestions. I'm certainly looking forwards to working with her again.
Sarah did a wonderfully detailed proof-read of a 50,000 word book for me in two days. I also asked her to make editorial comments, which were very insightful and to a very high standard. I highly recommend her and will happily provide references!
Overall, her work quality was high, she has a wealth of expertise from her previous jobs, she's very fast, and she communicates well.
Best regards,

All brides know that wedding photos are one of the most important parts of the wedding day. So coming up with a must-have wedding photo list should be high on your wedding planning priorities. These are the memories you'll cherish forever and even look back on the very next day ("It goes by in a flash," they all say). That's why you want to make sure your photographer nails every photo op, starting with the getting-ready photos all the way through your (sparkler) exit.
Step one to checking off this to-do list is to hire a wedding photographer you're excited about—and put your trust in the professional! You are hiring just that—a professional—who should know what they're doing, after all. But even so, it's nice to have some general knowledge of wedding photography yourself. As your 101 guide, we put together a wedding photo list of the must-have moments to capture—from the pretty detailed shot of your wedding-day jewels to the table settings and invitation suite.
Of course, you don't have to get all of these wedding photos in order to create the perfect album, but it's nice to think about them. (They'll put you in the detail mind-set at least as you buy those special bridal shoes and design your custom invitation suite.) So before you get shopping and pinning away, scroll down to see some of our favorite images from real weddings on Brides.com. Once you make a mental checklist of your own, feel free to chat about these photo op moments with your photographer—or better yet, send a link to this article!—but once you do that, leave it to your photographer. From there, all you can do is put your trust in them, have fun, and be present in your big day. After all, the prettiest brides are the happiest ones, right?!
The Invitation Suite
Some photographers shoot the invitation suite on the wedding day, while others do it afterward in a studio. Talk to your photographer about what you're looking for in this photo moment and be direct about whether or not you want extras (like these rocks and flowers) in the shot.
The Beauty Moment
Invite your photographer to the bridal suite to capture the getting-ready moments, like actress Carlson Young did to get a shot of her pretty braid.
The Accessories
Your wedding-day accessories are special, so make sure to capture that. And if you're wearing something old, new, borrowed, and blue get a shot of everything together!
The Getting-Ready Moments
After all that wedding dress shopping, you're going to want to document the big reveal. Snap a quick photo of your mom or MOH zipping you in.
In terms of the getting-ready shots, "put effort into picking out a meaningful or cool getting-ready location," recommends Heidi of Forged in the North. "Opt for an eclectic AirBnB over a basic hotel, for example. Some of my favorite images are during getting ready, but a bad location can completely ruin the photos."
The Veil
If you're rocking a veil this pretty, have your photographer snap some pics from every single angle.
The Girl Gang
We love this bridal party picture because it's natural and candid. Copy it with your squad—and make sure you get some laughing ones while you're at it.
The Groom
It's his turn to play model! Make sure to tell your groom how dapper he looks before he hops in front of the camera.
The First Look
Some couples are 100 percent sure they want a first look, while others would rather wait for the aisle moment. But if you do decide to see your groom before the ceremony, document it. You'll cherish his reaction on film forever—we promise!
The Candid Moments
Wedding candids are our favorite moments. Be yourselves as your photographer snaps pics of you two. We especially love this photo of a bride reading her groom a love note before walking down the aisle. It just feels so authentic, don't ya think?

Being a travel writer I get asked for hotel recommendations all the time, and one place I find myself suggesting again and again is the Spruce Point Inn in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
We visited about this time last year. It was a quick trip, just two nights, but we felt so recharged afterwards it might have been longer. Driving up to the hotel takes you along the water to the hotel's main lodge, where a row of Adirondack chairs sits facing out onto the bay. Spruce Point works really well both for couples and for families thanks to lots of lodging options, which range from a cozy room at the inn with a little balcony overlooking the water to two or three bedroom townhouses.
There's so much to keep guests busy here. In the mornings we took advantage of the maze of hiking trails in the woods just behind the resort. The hotel is dog friendly and we'd brought along our dachshund Harold who adored running around off leash.
There are two pools, including this one with a spectacular view of the bay. There's also a hot tub, which is divine during this time of year as the temperatures start to drop.
The hotel runs a boat service between its dock and the town of Booth Bay throughout the day. They also have kayaks that are included in the cost of a stay guests can take out for an afternoon.
The resort also offers free bikes, and we used them to ride up the road to the little beach and then over the bridge into town for a delicious lunch of fresh oysters and beer from Maine-based Shipyard Brewing Company.
The sunset here is truly awe-inspiring. Both nights, we parked ourselves in a pair of Adirondack chairs, ordered a bottle of wine from the bar and watched the sun sink right into the bay in front of us. Afterwards, it was dinner at 88 restaurant, where the menu centers around locally-sourced seafood. For dessert, we walked up the pathway to the hotel's nightly "S'mores Station" where guests are given free fixings for s'mores to roast over an open campfire as one of the staff plays the guitar. Pretty darn charming all in all. Check out the hotel's full list of fall activities with hikes, cooking classes and more.

Student wellbeing encompasses all that a school community does as it endeavours to meet the personal, social, physical, spiritual and learning needs of students and their families.
Effective student welfare practices create safe, caring environments and provide opportunities for students to enjoy success and recognition make useful contributions to the life of the school and derive enjoyment from their learning.
Fairhills endeavours to focus on three areas:
- Effective learning and teaching,
- Positive school climate,
- Developing a community
The Student Wellbeing Team consists of the following:
Paul Graham: Student Wellbeing Coordinator
Stewart MacCartney: Chaplain
Michael Bourne: Student Guidance Officer
Thoula McLinden: Social Worker
The SW Team acts as a resource for students, parents and staff who may have concerns regarding student wellbeing.
The team works closely with Class Teachers, the Principal Class, Year Level Coordinators, Careers Coordinator and the wonderful Integration Staff. Volunteer workers and mentors approved by school council also assist the wellbeing team.
Much of the work being done by the Wellbeing team hopefully goes largely unnoticed by the vast majority of the community as we seek to work alongside individual students and their families. However, the other aspects of our work includes ensuring that all students are looked after in their different needs. These activities and programs include: Safe Party Day, Lunchtime BBQ's, Drug and Alcohol information seminars, Red Frogs – Schoolies Week support and information for the Yr 12's and self esteem/ conflict management / social skills programs for the Yr 7's. We have also been blessed this year and need to thank "Tasty Fresh", in Ferntree Gully, for the many lunches donated.

Researching to hire Writers? Here's All the pieces You have to Know. It is rather sharp you really should employ the service of a writer. But whereby would you initiate?
Operating a business inside the electronic age entails a major amount of composing.
There's your site . Your web page . Social media posts. Sales and profits copy. Advertisements. Visitor posts. The checklist goes on. Who's about to do all of that producing?
And there's significantly more. There is search term research, internet search engine optimization (Search engine marketing), editing, publishing, and distribution. Are you visiting just take 15 or twenty several hours from your week to perform all of that ? It appears not likely. So what have you been gonna do ?
It is time for you to seek the services of a author.
Why you must rent a writer?
Briefly, considering producing is difficult.
High-quality content creating potential customers to better lead era , a great deal more reliable revenue copy, and improved web visibility. Advertisements, brochures, and catalogs all reward from the skilled writer. Using the services of a freelance writer to craft technological documentation, press releases, and promotion copy may make a big difference in how your customers see you.
Establishing top-notch duplicate is incredibly tough. A number of of our own web page posts choose five or even more hrs to write down, edit, and publish. Executing that all by yourself three times every week means fifteen hours of your time is gone. Which is time which could be put in marketing, building connections, or generating your workforce .
And that is specifically why you will need to retain the services of a writer.
A lot more goes in to the articles marketing and advertising procedure. Search phrase investigate, strategizing, executing Search engine marketing, distributing your posts, and developing back links takes time and effort. Does one have enough time for all of that? And when you are doing, do you think you're assured which you could create content which is applicable, helpful, and entirely world-class in good ?Otherwise, it is time for you to outsource writing to some high quality.
What hiring a author can perform on your venture
Publishing high-quality, useful help and advice provides visitors towards your web-site, shows them the value of your respective product, and allows transform them into faithful potential clients. You give you one thing to them – valuable intel – and they give again for you – by shopping for your product or service .
And you simply can actually measure how beneficial that is definitely. We wrote an in depth post on how we measure the ROI of our have subject matter merchandising so you can do the identical.
Methods to retain the services of writers
Now that you realize just where to find writers for seek the services of , it is time for you to rent an individual. You may think that you choose to just notify them the things they need to do, they do it , so you shell out. Sadly, it's not that easy. Here can be a very few underlying factors why:
- Usually there are a whole lot of superior writers out there
- Not all writers are aware of articles selling and Search engine optimisation
- A large number of writers will not hold the design or tone you are hunting for
On the plus side, if you decide to go in using this type of knowledge, the procedure is way simpler. Freelance marketplaces, like Hubstaff or Upwork, permit you submit your task and invite freelancers to specific their interest . Writers then spot a bid about the job or send you a proof of why they'd be described as a good quality preference .
After that, it is up to you to sort thru a (perhaps tremendously vast) range of candidates and reduce the listing down to a handful. You'll have got to seem at their profiles, website pages , and portfolios. And after that, it is perfect to have them do a check task. This allows you to see what kind of producing they may manufacture for you.
And afterwards, as a final point , you might seek the services of your author .
All this usually takes time, but receiving the preferred writer to your term paper enterprise is worth the financial commitment. Particularly if you're able to create a long-term romantic relationship. Don't believe that you'll have a freelancer publish one particular matter and be finished – if you see anyone who does exceptional do the trick, working with them frequently will undoubtedly be pretty invaluable .

The use of evidence in the audit, inspection and scrutiny of government
A significant number of organisations in the UK are charged with the audit, inspection and scrutiny of government. The judgements they make have an impact on the public services we use.
But what do we know about how these organisations collect and use evidence to come to those judgements? And what difference does their work make to the organisations they scrutinise?
This project examined how audit, inspection and scrutiny organisations use evidence and identified eight principles for the effective use of evidence in these organisations:
- Be clear about what is expected of each audit, inspection and scrutiny project.
- Consider the appropriateness and feasibility of different methods and ensure that you have the necessary skills.
- Seek out a range of different kinds of evidence.
- Test the quality of evidence.
- Consider alternative interpretations of the evidence.
- Tailor reporting to the needs of different audiences.
- Check the implementation of findings and recommendations.
- Reflect on the lessons for future projects.
The principles, along with details of the research evidence underpinning them, are explained in the briefing paper, Evidence for accountability: using evidence in the audit, inspection and scrutiny of government, by Dr Ruth Levitt, Professor Sandra Nutley, Professor Steve Martin, and William Solesbury. The research consisted of eight case studies of audit, inspection or scrutiny work undertaken in 2008 –2009.
The briefing paper will be essential reading for anyone working in the audit, inspection and scrutiny field. They will also be useful for policy makers who are seeking to understand more about government accountability.

People often complain that eating paleo is expensive, and it really can be. However, there are a few items that at least make up for it.
Budget Mince
I love the fact that "Budget" mince is so cheap. The reason? It has a higher fat content and thus less desirable by the conventional wisdom following folk. This is fine by me. The higher fat content, the better, my local butcher sells an ultra budget mince with 30% fat content for nearly a third of the price of 'premium mince'. Yum.
Suet – "You want what?"
Most butchers look at you crosseyed when you ask for some suet. A general conversation goes something like this:
"Can I get some suet?"
"You want what?"
"Kidney Fat"
"I want to render it to make some tallow for cooking"
"We normally throw that out"
"Well I want some, how much?"
"Umm… just take it"
Give me a shoulder with all the fat
Much like above when asking for pork, I ask for a decent serving of fat with it. Buying pork shoulder, an already cheap cut, is even cheaper when its loaded with fat. If you are lucky some will even save the leaf lard for you. (you have not lived until you have fried chicken in lard).
People hate fat, take advantage of it and remember…

Some would argue that this distinction is mere semantics , however I'll argue that confusion between science and expertise leads to some very unfortunate penalties. Maybe, as a substitute, (if there have been a Satan in any respect), it's work could be to make individuals feel progress and technology and make them wish to return to a time when folks lived in a lot extra ignorance than they do immediately, and when there was nothing anyone might do about illnesses, circumstances, accidents that at the moment are curable (or at the victims are in a position to be helped by expertise not directly).

First and foremost, I want to express my deep gratitude for all of the support surrounding The Clicky Post, my products, their development, and the incredible feedback I've received from everyone. It is such a pleasure to make and share my Cubes, Blocks, and Grooves and to hear how people are using and enjoying them and to write reviews on the blog for everyone.
Today on Instagram I posted a picture of a Cube with an etched sample of the new brand logo for my pen holders that will soon be placed on the bottom of all my wares. Still finalizing the details, but I wanted to share with everyone the progress.
As the brand has developed, there came a time when I felt an official logo/mark was appropriate and was provided the pleasure of working with Brandon Wilson of ContraBrand. Brandon is an incredible artist who has done a wide range of brand design and individual artwork that are absolutely stunning. I feel so privileged to have some of his work being used on my products, and want to say thanks to him directly as well. Please make a visit to his site to see his works and products, and if you're in need of some design work, he is great.
Thanks again for following and visiting the blog and I appreciate the support so much!
- Mike
