Off the shelf maps help mitigate volcanic hazards
(PhysOrg.com) -- When volcanoes erupt, pinpointing the regions at high risk for lethal hazards and deciding whether or not to evacuate a resistant population comprise the most difficult problems faced by hazards managers. Now a team of volcanologists has a program that maps potential problem areas quickly, taking much of the guesswork out of decision making and evacuations.
"We wanted to be able to predict the areas affected by pyroclastic flows from volcanoes," said Christina Widiwijayanti, post-doctoral fellow in geosciences. "Pyroclastic flows and surges are the phenomena that kill most people when volcanoes erupt."
A pyroclastic flow consists of hot rocks, ash and superheated gases that rapidly flow down from the area of dome collapse on a volcano. Pyroclastic surges are similar, but less dense. They are a kind of hot ash hurricane that can escape the confines of river valleys. Both types of currents are dangerous and frequently lethal.
"In many volcanic crises, a hazard map for pyroclastic flows and surges is sorely needed, but limited time, exposures or safety aspects may preclude fieldwork, and insufficient computational time or baseline data may be available for adequately reliable dynamic simulations of future pyroclastic flow or surge events," the researchers note in a paper published in the Bulletin of Volcanology, Online First.
The researchers, working with Steve P. Schilling, U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory, looked at an existing procedure created by Schilling called LAHARZ, a geographical information system (GIS) method intended to map hazard zones for volcano-induced mudflows.
"The approach worked for water-saturated mud flows, we thought maybe it would work for hot pyroclastic flows," said Barry Voight, professor emeritus of geosciences. "So we looked at the eruption data and developed some new ways of forecasting areas of impact, particularly for the ash hurricanes."
The researchers used data from eruptions of a variety of volcanoes including the Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat; Mount Merapi, Indonesia; Mount Unzen, Japan, and Colima, Mexico to develop a predictive equation for mapping the hazard. The equation considered the cross sectional area of the flows, the area covered and the amount of material in the flow, and is embedded in the GIS.
"What we are doing is looking at the volcano to see, for each valley system, how far the hot flows of rock and ash can come," said Dannie Hidayat, post doctoral fellow in geosciences. "We can outline the area of potential surge damage and this can be used by decision makers on whether to evacuate or to put people on high alert to evacuate."
Widiwijayanti and Hidayat have personal interests in volcanoes having grown up in Indonesia in close proximity to dangerous erupting volcanoes. Indonesia has 129 active volcanoes. The slopes of Mount Merapi are the home of a quarter million people and Widiwijayanti's family home is within reach of Merapi ash falls.
"Using this program, we can produce maps long before the eruption takes place and they can be kept on the shelf for immediate use, or we can produce maps as needed as soon as there is an indication of impending pyroclastic explosions," said Widiwijayanti.
The program creates maps that outline where the rock and ash will flow for different prospective volumes of material expelled. The volumes are color coded. Also included are mapped lines that indicate the extent of the hot ashy surge for both high and low volumes.
Currently, the program will map hazard zones for pyroclastic flows that go outward and down from the volcano's dome, but the researchers believe that it could also be applied to those pyroclastic eruptions that are column explosions, throwing up mixtures of rock, ash and gas into the air before they come down and form hot radial currents.
"The topology data is available online at good resolution for worldwide sites, so anyone who has GIS can run the simulation," said Widiwijayanti.
This method has already been used twice in eruption crises: once at Merapi in 2006 and in Montserrat in 2006-2009 to quickly and effectively create pyroclastic flow maps.
"I expect this method to make a difference in volcano hazards mitigation," said Voight. "These maps can be created quickly, in a few days and e-mailed anywhere in the world. We do not need anyone on the ground to study the situation nor do we need a physics-based model to obtain robust curves. This approach saves time and saving time can save lives. We can now avoid being 'too little and too late' in our mitigation response."

Space Weather
The solar wind of particles streaming from the Sun can become gusty and even build up into storms. Driven by solar magnetic activity, the solar wind and solar storms collectively lead to what is known as space weather. Solar storms can spark colourful auroras in the night sky and, more seriously, prove dangerous to modern technology. The particles can endanger astronauts and satellites, and disrupt communications, computers, power supplies and navigation systems on Earth.
This makes space weather a matter necessitating constant vigilance, with spacecraft watching for events on the Sun that may cause trouble on Earth in the ensuing minutes and days. Once a solar storm is triggered, the Sun can produce a sequence of events, although not all the elements are apparent every time.
When a solar flare erupts, the magnetic explosion can release as much energy as a billion atomic bombs. This drives off a torrent of X-rays and ultraviolet rays, which leave the Sun at the speed of light. If they are heading towards Earth, they arrive there eight minutes later before being absorbed in the ionosphere, potentially disrupting short-wave radio transmissions and causing errors in navigation systems.
Following on about an hour or two behind are high-speed solar protons and other energetic particles. These can harm astronauts, damage spacecraft and, if they reach the ground, can cause errors in computers.
The flare is often accompanied by a large eruption of gas from the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). A CME creates gusts and shock waves in the solar wind, which, if heading towards Earth, can take anything from 18 hours to a few days to reach us. When it arrives, it buffets Earth's magnetic field, making compass needles wander. The varying magnetic field can also provoke damaging surges of electrical current in long metallic structures such as power lines and pipelines.
The magnetic disturbances can drive particles from space into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with the atoms and molecules there, creating auroras.
The various solar effects heat Earth's upper atmosphere, making it swell and increasing its drag on low-altitude satellites. If a satellite does not compensate by using its thrusters, it can be dragged out of orbit. This effect also has a positive side, as it helps to drag space debris down into the atmosphere, where it burns up.
Telecommunications and weather satellites in geostationary orbits suffer in a different way. If a gust in the solar wind squeezes the magnetosphere severely enough, the satellites can find themselves outside the shield and more exposed to damaging particles.
Cluster constantly measures this non-stop battle between solar storms and Earth's magnetic field.

Swell Tips for Treating Ankle Sprains
Parents have been asking me some swell questions about what to do when their child's ankle swells after an injury, and whether it might be sprained. Well let me put my best foot forward and provide some information on this topic.
An ankle sprain is when the ligaments (a type of tissue that connects one bone in the ankle joint with another) get overly stretched and/or torn. This need not just occur in an athletic event, but simply by stepping in a hole, tripping on stairs, or putting your weight down awkwardly. Fortunately in younger children, ligaments may be stronger than the bones themselves – such that the bone is more apt to be injured before the ligament. But, in older children and teens, the reverse occurs.
The severity of a sprain depends on just how much damage occurs to the ligaments. A grade 1 sprain is just some stretching of the ligaments, and may result in soreness and a bit of swelling. Grade 2 is a moderate sprain with partial tearing resulting in pain, swelling, and an inability to bear weight easily. Grade 3 injuries are complete tears, with the ankle feeling loose and unsteady, and come with a substantial amount of pain and swelling.
How can you tell if your child has experienced a sprain? If it hurts enough that your child or you feel the need to call a doctor, that may itself suggest a sprain, if not a fracture of the foot, and as a result your child's doctor will want to examine the foot and possibly get x-rays or even consult with a bone or sports medicine specialist.
Treatment depends on the severity of the sprain and may last a week for a grade 1, and several weeks for grades 2 and 3.
In all cases, the first step is to initiate what is called RICE therapy for at least the first 48 hours:
R: resting and not weight bearing
I: ice for the first 48 hours after an injury, applied for 20-30 minutes at least every 3-4 hours while your child is awake until the swelling is gone
C: compression via a splint or elastic wrap suggested by your child's doctor
E: elevation to reduce swelling
Anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen can also reduce the swelling. Return to play depends upon the severity of the sprain and the approval from your child's doctor, as well as an exercise regimen to strengthen the torn ligaments. Often grade 2 or 3 sprains may require a splint to help immobilize the ankle until it heals, but only rarely is surgery indicated to repair the ligament.
Of course the best way to deal with a sprain is to prevent it from happening. First make sure your child warms up and stretches before playing a sport. Remind your child to watch where they walk if they are on an uneven surface. High top shoes may help as well to stabilize the ankle when participating in an athletic activity.
Hopefully tips like this will not be painful ones to think about the next time your child injures his or her ankle.

Note: Hi! The following is a 2nd generation Harry Potter fanfiction, with main characters being Rose Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy, and Albus Potter. It will be comprised of four parts, the first of which will follow Rose. There will also be seven one-shots (or side-alongs) following other characters at points throughout the series, each uploaded separately. I've also taken the liberty to include a few re-quotes, courtesy of JK Rowling and Steve Kloves of course, to pay homage to the original books and films. So without further ado, here is Chapter 1. Happy reading!

For over thirty years we have shared our home and our hearts with Labradors. Our first Lab, Nero came into our lives in 1972. In spite of all the mistakes we made in training Nero, we learned together and shared a tremendous love with him. Nero lived to be 15 years old and was a devoted family member and our three children grew up with Nero as their playmate and nanny. He got us hooked on a life that will always include Labradors.
After several years we decided to become more involved with dogs and our first show dog was an English Setter. We soon learned however that raising three children and teaching full time did not leave us the time for the commitment involved with showing dogs.

Promotional Products We Recommend This Month: Promotional Kan-Tastic Beverage InsulatorJanuary 27th, 2013
Every month in 2013 we will recommend promotional products based on existing popularity and feedback. This month's recommendation is the Promotional Kan-Tastic Beverage Insulator.
This is a useful item that most people would love to use but don't necessarily go out of their way to purchase on their own. The only insulator I own is from a baseball game promo giveaway. I've now used it so much on vacations and during the warm days that the team logo is barely visible. Don't worry, our beverage insulator products are of much better quality than my 7 year old item from a baseball game (which tend to use lower quality items given the large number of fans in attendance).
Our customers have always given high praise to this product and their logos always "pop" since there is a large imprint area with single color background.
To view more details about this promotional product, visit its unique page and view our low pricing on the Promotional Kan-Tastic Beverage Insulator.

Typhoon Danas (23W)29.3N 130.7E
A tropical depression formed northeast of Guam. It strengthened into Tropical Depression 23W on October 3. Late on October 4, the JMA upgraded it to Tropical Storm Danas. The PAGASA gave the name Ramil as it pass through the corner of the Philippine area of responsibility on a short matter of time very late on October 6 as a Category 3 typhoon. On October 7, Typhoon Danas entered warm waters as it became a Category 4 typhoon.
Typhoon Danas is forecast to strike Japan at about 18:00 GMT on 8 October. Data supplied by the US Navy and Air Force Joint Typhoon Warning Center suggest that the point of landfall will be near 35.2 N, 132.3 E. Danas is expected to bring 1-minute maximum sustained winds to the region of around 120 km/h (74 mph). Wind gusts in the area may be considerably higher.

When Microsoft launched its totally new Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system two years ago, it signaled Redmond's first real step into the smartphone market.
The 2-D, tile-based platform was visually stunning, and it showed Microsoft was intent on taking the smartphone operating system into new conceptual territory. It was different, and different looked good.
Windows Phone devices got good reviews for being speedy and intuitive when they rolled out, but people didn't actually buy them. Windows Phone now commands a meager 3.5 percent of the global smartphone market share today, while iOS and Android dominate the field at around 17 percent and 68 percent respectively, according to IDC (though iOS is significantly higher in the U.S.).
This is still Windows Phone, but more grown up, and now truly ready to challenge the big kids on the playground.With Windows Phone 8, Microsoft is trying to give its smartphone business another shot in the arm. It's stacked with new features, as well as enhancements to all the things that made previous versions enjoyable to use. This is still Windows Phone, but more grown up, and now truly ready to challenge the big kids on the playground.
First off, using Windows Phone 8 is as refreshing and fun as using Windows Phone 7.5. It maintains the same colorful, tile-based interface that's now also shared with Windows 8, yet it still feels new. The new Windows Phone is more slick. Navigation is fast, the apps and the interface are more customizable.
Hardware support that was missing in previous versions is now here: support for multi-core processors, higher screen resolutions, microSD card expansion controls, and built-in NFC. Whether these features show up in the WP8 devices depends on Microsoft's hardware partners, but the company has tried to make sure nobody will end up choosing another platform purely based on specs.
As for the actual software, the most noticeable improvement is the new Start Screen. The tiles now take up the entire screen – no more empty black right rail – and you can choose between three tile sizes. While this might seem like a small tweak, it makes a big difference for a customized experience. I love being able to now change the size and placement of each app's tile on my Start Screen to find a configuration that works best for me.
The Live apps, or Live Tiles, still work beautifully in this OS, and now each of the three sizes can support information snippets of different depths. For example, if you make the Calendar app large so it takes up a whole row on the screen, it can show specific information like the length and location of each calendar event. Set the Calendar app to the medium size, and it shows a more condensed version. The smallest size shows just the date.
The Windows Phone 8 Lock Screen also becomes its own useful Live Tile. You can choose a few apps that will show quick status updates on the screen, and one that will show detailed notifications. This is similar to Notification Center in iOS, though you can only choose five apps for this Lock Screen experience. I did appreciate having one constant app that showed more information. I used Calendar, and it was great to see what I had coming up at a glance.
The web browser is now Internet Explorer 10, and it's a big improvement. It's incredibly quick; not once did I grow irritated with sluggish performance. If I had decent Wi-Fi – or at least a couple bars of service – IE10 worked great. It was stunningly fast when I had full bars on HSPA+, and I can't imagine anybody will have complaints on a 4G LTE network.
The web browser is now Internet Explorer 10, and it's a big improvement.The IE10 address bar button can now be customized with one of three functions: Stop/Refresh (the default), Favorites, and Tabs. This little gimmick is not intuitive. It took me a minute to figure out how to open a new tab: by tapping the "More" menu, and then tapping "Tabs." Swapping tabs shouldn't be a multi-tap process, so I ended up setting the Tabs function as the default on my address bar button. A better solution would be a quick gesture for switching through tabs so I can keep the refresh button on the address bar.
Sure, that's nitpicking. But that's the great thing about Windows Phone 8: All of my complaints are pretty minor and quirky. I've grown to really prefer Windows Phone to Android, and can imagine people switching from there. I didn't experience any crashes or stuttering during the several days I used a new HTC 8X loaded with WP8 as my sole phone. Usually, I depend on an iPhone 4 running iOS 6. The only things I missed were iMessage, since so many of my friends and family use iPhones, and my favorite day-to-day apps like Instagram, Path, and public-transportation apps.
I'll talk more about the lack of apps later, but first: Maps. All eyes are on Windows Phone's mapping capability since Apple fumbled the maps in iOS 6. And alas, WP8's built-in Maps app is suspiciously missing public transportation directions on non-Nokia devices. Windows Phone's maps app is built on Nokia's maps platform, and for the most part, it's accurate and useful. But on non-Nokia phones like the HTC 8X, it looks like public transit directions didn't make the cut, which is incredibly unfortunate. It does, however, make sense for Nokia, which wants its phones to have unique software offerings, and when you buy a Nokia Lumia phone, you'll get an "enhanced" map app. Bare Windows Phone 8 Maps still gets the job done. It has turn-by-turn directions, downloadable offline maps, traffic updates, and aerial views. I didn't get lost once while using the app to navigate Brooklyn on foot. In short: It works, even if you have to figure out which bus to catch and where.
I tested the other new features like Kids Corner, Xbox Music and Videos, Skype integration, the improved Camera app (for which you can collect third-party Lenses), Office, and OneNote. Each worked without problems. The updated SkyDrive makes it easy to access and save files, and every Windows Phone 8 user gets 7GB of free storage. (If Microsoft's trying to be cute with a weird number, why not 8GB?) I imagine business-oriented people who depend on Office will love the built-in Office hub, which supports Word, Excel and PowerPoint. By saving to SkyDrive, you can start a Word Doc on your phone and pick up where you left off on a computer, or vice versa. Kids Corner is also a good tool for parents with young children; it sequesters your kids – who cannot be trusted – to their own child-proof area of the phone.
The multitasking capabilities in Windows Phone 8 have been updated, and for the most part, it's smoother. Apps can run in the background, and Windows Phone 8 will remember where you left off in a previously used app. For example, if you're in the middle of tapping out a text, you can leave, go do something else, and then tap the back button to return where you left off with the text intact. One glitch: If I left the Messaging app in the middle of a text, and then went back by tapping the Messaging tile from the Start Screen, it wouldn't remember where I left off. I had to tap the built-in back button, or tap and hold the back button for the "Task-switcher display," which shows thumbnails of most recently used apps.
Beyond a few such quirks – and to be fair, every OS has its share – Windows Phone 8's biggest problem is its lack of volume.
There are more than 120,000 apps available for Windows Phone. They just aren't the apps you want.Just like Windows 8, Microsoft's smartphone OS doesn't have enough app-makers on board yet. It's lame to admit, but the main reason I don't want to switch to Windows Phone 8 is because I don't want to give up Instagram, and I've heard the same sentiment from Android and iPhone users alike. Instagram is a true "killer app," and there are likely countless potential switchers with a similar complaint. The platform's also missing the latest app fads that all your friends are addicted to. Take Letterpress, for example, the breakout word game released last week that currently has iPhone users staying up until 3 a.m. Windows Phone doesn't have it – it only just now got Draw Something, months after it peaked.
Nonetheless, Microsoft continues to assure us it's getting developers to create Windows Phone apps. Maybe we'll even see Instagram in the near future. Windows Phone does core basics like Kindle, Facebook, Twitter, Zite and (just announced) Pandora. And it's not like the store is empty – there are more than 120,000 apps available. They just aren't the apps you want.
The other volume problem is the tiny user base. It's most noticeable in the new "Rooms" feature in the People hub, where you can have group chats, or share albums, calendars and notes. Since I don't know anybody who uses a Windows Phone, this feature was totally useless. I'd love to tell you it works great, but I have no way of knowing.
WIRED Slick, intuitive interface with nice animations that just works. Customizable Live Tiles and Lock Screen. People hub, which centralizes your social activity, is incredibly handy. IE10 is fast and smooth. Support for better handset hardware. Improved camera software is easy to use. Comes with wireless data tracking tool Data Sense. Built-in Office is a boon for business users.
TIRED Key apps are missing. Windows Store is cluttered, with reviews appearing in different languages. Rooms is useless unless you know a lot of Microsoft employees. Multitasking has some strange behaviors.

Camping is a great way to get in touch with nature — sleeping under the stars, roasting hot dogs over a fire, and going on hikes through the woods. Enjoy your time away, and reduce your risk of injury with these camping safety tips:
Include a first-aid kit among your cargo. Your kit should include hydrocortisone cream and antihistamine for allergic reactions and rashes, plus supplies for cleaning and dressing wounds. The Red Cross offers a list of first-aid essentials to include in your kit.
Setting up
Arrive before nightfall so you'll have time to inspect your camping site, unpack, and build a fire. Avoid pitching tents close to water, under dead tree limbs, or near insect nests and poisonous plants. Also look for broken glass, sharp rocks, and other hazards that could cause injury. Use a plastic tarp for an extra layer of protection between the ground and the tent — just ensure the tarp does not extend beyond the width of the tent so water does not pool when it rains.
Building fires
Light fires in metal burn rings or stone-lined pits away from tents and low-hanging branches. Keep fires manageable, and never leave them unattended. Always have a bucket of water or a shovel nearby for extinguishing flames. Check to see if any fire bans are posted at the campground entrance — and if so, heed them.
Taking hikes
Wear long pants tucked into your socks, sturdy shoes, a hat, sunglasses and layers you can easily remove. Also pack sunscreen, a map, a compass, water, packaged snacks, and insect spray with DEET. Bring your cell phone along, too. Not all locations will have service, but if you do, your phone can be a valuable lifeline should you get lost or need assistance. Stay on designated hiking trails, and take frequent stops to rest and rehydrate.
Encountering wildlife
Wild animals can be unpredictable and can carry diseases. It's best to bring your binoculars and watch them from a distance. If you're camping in an area that bears inhabit, be sure you know what to do if you meet one.
Preparing meals
Store foods in airtight containers and insulated coolers, keeping raw and cooked foods separate, and cold foods chilled. As you cook, sanitize your station often and heat foods to a safe temperature before eating. When you're finished, transfer leftovers to airtight, animal-proof containers, and properly dispose of garbage in an approved refuse container well away from your campsite — one that's tightly secured against animals.
Going to bed
Pack extra blankets and layers of clothes rather than relying on a fuel-burning heater for warmth. Using heaters and other fuel-burning equipment in an enclosed space can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

1. Re: Load Balancing Not Workingrhusar Mar 8, 2012 10:36 AM (in response to jmascreen)
This is because you created a session and that session is sticky. So it will always go to that node.
mod_cluster comes with nice load balancing demo which creates session but reuses them after while. It shows nice graphs as well. Its bundled with distribution.
I have a sample application that when you query a simple servlet, it tells you how many times you called it so that you can know whether the session is as you expected it to be: https://github.com/rhusar/clusterbench

You could also set <mod-cluster-config ... sticky-session="false"/> to spray your requests over the instances

I tried it and its working partialy. I had opened a browser and hit the url for SuperSnoopWeb and i got the bind address of first node and when i refreshed it went to second node. the problem here is if i open from another browser the request goes to the first server only, instead of second node. Please help me out

America must lead the world in addressing the threat of climate change ("Climate change warnings," June 12). This is why Maryland Senators Ben Cardin and Barbara Mikulski must join Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and California Senator Barbara Boxer to work for the passage of the Climate Protection Act of 2013, which will put a price on carbon and shift the United States away from dirty energy and toward clean power. This landmark legislation will send a clear signal to the rest of the world that the United States is willing to back up its rhetoric with firm action when it comes to reducing carbon emissions.
We must make sure that the Climate Protection Act of 2013 becomes law. The fate of present generations — not just future generations — depends on it.
D. R. Tucker, Brockton, Mass.

I have been playing all of the games in the COD franchise on the PC since a week after the original Call of Duty released back in October of 2003. I still predominately play Call of Duty: United Offensive but I also enjoy a little bit of Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare and a little a bit of Call of Duty: World at War (mainly hosting Zombies) every now and then. To me there hasn't been a COD title yet that has beat the awesome game play of COD:UO CTF matches; especially CTF matches on the LW! server with the Merciless Mod and additional changes. COD4 & COD:WAW have great looks but the actual game play just doesn't compare.

Finally, we have set up a web shop under the name…
The This is Cosmic shop is currently a simple set up, but we thought it was about time to put together a platform whereby we could offer Cosmic team designed items to our wider network of friends around the world at any time, rather than just in hand at tournaments.
In time, we will also be developing the shop to sell a selection of hand picked products from brand leaders connected to the bike polo scene.
Our philosophy is to only offer qualitative and functional products. Essentially, you will not find us selling anything that we have not had a hand in designing or would not use ourselves.
For now, you can visit the shop here or via the shop page at the top of our blog.

Amphetamine Ballads
Can't Let You Go
It starts like this. A crashing gong breaks silence like the angry crack of knuckles. A rhythm track creeps and snakes threatening to lunge forward out of the speakers at any second. A voice – a howl even – cuts through the midnight murk. "She's more beautiful than any woman I've ever met… and she fucking knows it!" All about the place, guitars skid wildly right across the track before locking tight to spartan bass and drums. It's an exhilarating sound; a musical perp walk. It's the sound of the Amazing Snakeheads - your new favourite band.
Hailing from Glasgow, the Amazing Snakeheads - Dale Barclay, William Coombe & Jordon Hutchison - look like they sound. The poise is part bike gang, part all-seasons barfly; all pomade, shades, denim, leather and signet rings. On stage, they are uncompromised, truly a force of nature. Dale appears possessed by music, rock'n'roll channelled through every sinew in his body.
"I genuinely don't know where the music comes from," says Dale. "How I play music - live or in the studio - it is what it is and I struggle to know where it comes from. There's been a lot of things written about the band, people say we're angry and things like that - but to me it's just us. There's a hell of a lot of joy in the music. It might not be apparent but on a good night, I'm experiencing absolute joy when I play music."
The Amazing Snakeheads never really formed as such – their conception seemingly more preordained than planned. Dale and William had been mates since childhood; Jordan was Dale's neighbour who became a close friend. While they each played music, they never really harboured ambitions to play in bands – the prospect of aiming high and missing was almost enough to put the trio off even trying. Dale explains.
"To me, music is a hallowed ground. If you're going to do it, you had better get it right. I could only ever make music with people I have a bond with. I'm not a jammer. I cannae just turn up and start jamming. The three of us would go to gigs together, listen to records… our whole lives revolved around music. We'd always say, "man it would be fucking great to do this". We talked about it, then one week decided to go to a practise room. Any other week and we might have had other ideas and just not bothered…"
Announcing themselves in the summer of 2013 with a one-off 7" on Domino - a ferocious 84-second long strut called Testifying Time - the band's reputation was quickly sealed with a series of lightning strike gigs in the autumn. In fact, the band's live shows were such jaw dropping displays of the redemptive powers of rock'n'roll, one may well have walked away wondering how they'd ever get that energy across in the studio.
Incredibly, they somehow have. Amphetamine Ballads - the Amazing Snakeheads debut album - is the soundtrack to the dark corners of nightclubs and those dimly lit alleyways off the main drag. The smell of smoke and liquor pervades everything, from opener I'm A Vampire - a narcotic kickstart from that nocturnal world – through first proper single Flatlining, all cyclonic guitar solo and skronking saxophone; past the nape of the neck intimacy of Where Is My Knife ("Forget the rest now I'm your daddy") and Here It Comes Again's howling motorik punk rock; and onto Heading for Heartbreak's 3am soulsearch and the lock in blues of Tiger By The Tail. This is a subterranean record, a record that can show you round the parts of a city that come alive after dark. In fact, the only sun this album has seen is the unforgiving light of the dawn walk home.
"We recorded mostly at night," says Dale. "We made the record at a friend's studio called the Green Door; we'd demoed there before and loved the environment. We had complete creative freedom when we recorded so we'd start late and work through the night. That affected the whole outcome of the record."
Dale sees both record and band as a product of their environment. They are collectively the sound of Glasgow at night.
"What I'm after is truth and honesty in our music. Glasgow is a huge thing for us. I was born and raised here, William too. Jordan was from New Zealand originally but he's been here for years, his parents are from Glasgow. When I sing, I sound like where I'm from. I cannae sing any other way and that's the truth. It comes out like that and that's the way it should be. If I was taking the edge of the accent it just wouldn't be true. If I was to try to act up, use some kind of mid-Atlantic accent, I wouldn't last for long round here."
Time to fall in love. Time to testify.

There's only one thing better than seeing Justin Bieber live on his Believe tour, and that's seeing Justin and co. backstage on the Believe tour dancing around to "Push-It" by Salt-n-Pepa.
When Carly Rae Jepsen joined the tour for a few stops this month she tweeted the Believe tour's "Push It" vid along with this caption: "Excited to be back with @justinbieber and crew for a few shows this weekend! Believe Tour crew knows how to #PushIt." No wonder why Carly was excited to be back—it seriously looks like so much fun!
Everyone from the Believe tour dancers and technical crew members to Justin's manager Scooter Braun joins in on the fun, dancing and goofing around backstage to the hit '80s song. Even Justin himself shows you how to "push it" (spoiler alert: there's a segway involved!).
This silly video will keep on your toes trying to spot Justin, but the Biebs isn't the only star you'll see (hint: a special Believe tour mate makes an ah-mazing cameo). Watch for yourself and see which other stars you can spot!
Did the "Push It" video have you LOLing? Which stars did you spot? Let us know in the comments below!

Ex-Rep. Asa Hutchinson expects to run for Ark. governor in '14
Hutchinson said Friday he "fully expects" to seek the Republican Party's nomination for the state's top office. Hutchinson is the first Republican to join the race for the state's top office.
Hutchinson said he expects to make his bid official after finishing his work on a National Rifle Association study on school safety. Hutchinson is a former undersecretary of the federal Department of Homeland Security and served as a U.S. attorney in Arkansas for three years.
Hutchinson ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2006 and lost to Democrat Mike Beebe.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel is the only announced Democratic candidate for governor, and has faced questions about his political future after admitting an extramarital relationship last month.

text: 9 Habits for Looking & Feeling Younger 08/23/2019 Blog category: Fitness Tips Juan Ponce de Leon may not have found the mythical fountain of youth, but there are many habits you can incorporate into your daily routine to help you feel–and look!–youthful and refreshed. (Besides working out at Farrell's, of course!) 1. Drink More Water. Staying properly hydrated is essential to feel and to look younger. The adult human body is 60% water! This includes your organs, muscles, and even bones! Failing to consume enough water can result in dry, flaky, and tight skin cells, which can make you appear older than you are. For optimal hydration, aim to drink at least half your body weight in ounces, every day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you need to drink 75 ounces of water daily. Pro tip: Set an alarm on your smartphone to remind you to drink water throughout the day. 2. Wear Sunscreen. Enjoying 10-15 minutes of sunlight every day is great for Vitamin D absorption, which can help prevent diseases, depression, and even weight gain! However, too much sun exposure can lead to skin cancer. To protect yourself from sunburns and overexposure, make sure you wear a daily sunscreen or protect your skin with a hat and clothing. Looking for a boost of color? Skip the tanning beds and opt for a spray tan. Pro tip: Look for sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or titanium oxide. They're the safest for the skin, and offer the most skin protection! (Without the chalky residue.) 3. Get Enough Zzzs. The average adult needs between 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Sleep gives our body the time to heal, rest, and recharge. Beauty sleep isn't a myth! Sleep allows for cell mitosis – a process in which cells go into repair mode to renew your skin. To get the most benefits from beauty sleep, avoid scrolling on your phone or watching TV right before bedtime. To unwind, grab your favorite book and a cup of tea instead! And if you're struggling to fall asleep, try a white noise machine or download a sleep app on your smartphone. Pro tip: Looking for a way to improve your complexion even more? Invest in a silk pillowcase to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep. 4. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize. Just like keeping your body hydrated by drinking enough water, it's important to keep your skin–your largest organ–hydrated as well! Daily moisturization protects your skin from environmental damage, prevents wrinkles, and can help control dry, irritated skin. Not sure what moisturizer is best for you? For your face, start with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. And for your body, an all-natural shea butter lotion will do the trick! Pro tip: Pay special care to your hands and neck, as these areas are the first to show signs of aging. 5. Reduce Sodium Intake. Lack of sleep may not be the only reason for baggy under eyes! Salt loves water. Consuming foods high in sodium can result in bloating and puffiness. Avoid the sneaky "salty six" foods: Bread, pizza, sandwiches, cold cuts and cured meats, soups, and burritos and tacos. And because sodium levels can vary among similar foods, always check your nutrition labels, a habit learned through our program! For adults, the American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams a day–and an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 milligrams per day. Pro tip: To reduce your sodium intake, replace your white table salt with pink Himalayan salt. 6. Avoid or Reduce Alcohol. Alcohol is a diuretic, which dehydrates your body by increasing urine output. When your body is dehydrated, it can't perform it's normal functions, resulting in headaches, digestive issues, muscle cramps, sluggish immune function, poor skin elasticity, and more. Reducing or eliminating alcohol is a great way to boost your energy, helping you both look and feel younger. If you decide to enjoy a beverage, make sure you've consumed enough water throughout the day to combat dehydration. Pro tip: Even better, fill your favorite glass with sparkling water or kombucha, and unwind without the negative side effects! 7. Stay Active. The benefits of exercise are endless, especially at Farrell's! But did you know that exercise improves your lymphatic system, which helps reduce puffiness and bloating? Exercise increases the amount of oxygen delivered to your tissues and cells, which stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation. Your lymphatic system is the only system in your body that doesn't work without movement! To keep your lymphatic system moving, you need to move as well. Pro tip: Staying active doesn't mean spending hours at the gym! With Farrell's, you can get a great workout in only 45-minutes! With convenient class times, it's easy to fit into your busy schedule. 8. Eat a Balanced Diet. You may have heard the term "eating clean." But what does that mean? "Eating clean" means consuming a balanced diet of fruits, veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats–while limiting refined sugars and processed foods. Eating clean doesn't have to be expensive, either! If your favorite produce isn't in season, buy frozen. Purchase healthy ingredients like beans and rice in bulk. Plan your meals and stick to your grocery list to avoid overspending on unnecessary items. Filling your plate with a clean, balanced meal will fuel your body with the energy it needs to stay active and healthy, helping you feel and look younger! Pro tip: Don't be afraid of fats! Healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and nuts contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for keeping your skin plump and glowing! 9. Stretch, Breathe, and Meditate. When you experience stress, your body produces cortisol, often referred to as the "stress hormone." Prolonged stress can lead to an excess of cortisol, resulting in a depressed immune system, loss of muscle mass, and increased body fat. While stress is often unavoidable, fortunately, there are tools we can use to unwind and relax. Practicing different stretching positions can improve circulation, which is essential for combating bloat. While you're stretching, take deep breaths–in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Deep breathing improves oxygen flow to the bloodstream, which boosts collagen production. (Hello youthful skin!) Here are eight poses you can try at home! Pro tip: If you're ready to take your practice to the next level, download a guided-meditation app. Spending quiet time meditating is a great way to bring peace into your daily life. These are habits you can begin implementing today to keep you feeling energized and youthful. When you join Farrell's, you'll build on these positive habits of staying hydrated, eating balanced meals, and getting proper sleep to restore your body. Practice these healthy routines to help you feel and look your best! Back to Blog

Ridley Scott is lining up yet another project we'll be eagerly anticipating for years to come (along with The Forever War movie and the Blade Runner sequel). Scott and producing partner Steve Zaillian have nabbed the movie rights to the BBC mockumentary The Day Britain Stopped.
The TV film originally aired in 2003 and was centered around a fictional UK transit disaster complete with fake archive footage, eyewitness accounts and narrator. No doubt this recent purchase had to of been inspired by the insane traffic London is experiencing from the Olympics. We've embedded the entire TV movie above, it's a pretty good watch. However Ridley's version of this movie is said to be merely inspired by the TV movie — but we certainly hope he keeps the documentary style.

HSA news release 22nd January 2002
"Let's sort this out once and for all"
A hunt saboteur could easily have been killed today by the actions of an irate huntsman. Hunt saboteur Simon Wild was grabbed by the huntsman of the Chiddingfold Leconfield and Cowdray Hunt in Sussex and dragged along by his jacket. The huntsman, Jonathan Broise, dropped Mr Wild in front of the horse of his 'whipper-in' who then rode over him. Mr Wild, who somehow escaped with just hoof blows to his groin and legs and a throat injury where he was dragged along by his radio strap, later said "I was a hair's breadth from being seriously hurt". Another protestor was kicked in the ribs during the incident. Immediately before the attack, Broise allegedly shouted "Let's sort this out once and for all". A formal report has been lodged at Midhurst police station (However, whether they will be able to tear themselves away from the vital task of checking people's CB licences is not known).
Simon Wild is one of a group of protestors who have been regularly attending the Chiddingfold, Leconfield and Cowdray hunt to prevent them from chasing and killing foxes.
Spokesperson for the Hunt Saboteurs Association, Nathan Brown, commented "The attendance of hunt saboteurs at the Chiddingfold has obviously had such an effect that the hunters have turned their attention away from their traditional quarry and decided to vent their rage and bloodlust on protestors. It is a miracle that Mr Wild escaped with minor injuries. A horse can easily crush a person's skull or cause irreparable spinal damage - let there be no doubt that another Hunt Saboteur could have been killed today."
Jonathan Broise has a history of violent behaviour - in February 2001 he received a conditional discharge after head-butting a disabled magistrate. He has also previously received a formal caution from the police for assaulting a hunt protestor and was the thug caught on film threatening 'war' on an ITN news crew back in 1994.
This incident follows incidents at several hunts on Saturday when hunt saboteurs were variously driven into by hunt supporters, assaulted or suffered threats to kill. One protestor was taken to hospital with a suspected fractured fibia and was almost dragged under the wheels of a horse trailer. A hunt steward was also arrested on Saturday after a protestor was attacked at another hunt. Mr Brown added "It is as if the hunting fraternity has declared war on anyone who dares oppose them. It is a shame the government does not have the guts to stand up to them and honour their election pledge to ban hunting."
