Crash Normal LP, Yves/Son/Ace 7″, and The Dreams repress!
We like the number 2… Paris' Crash Normal are somewhere between garage-punk and electro trash. They are a duo. These guys drop the sound of rusty nails and hit the audience like rain. Echos and reverbs fight, the drum machine gets killed by the fuzz pedal. Low frequencies slither around you like a snake. No bass player. Only two guitars to fill the space left in the room. Real drums win the battle over drum machines in the end. They've shared the bill with Sic alps, The Intelligence, Alan Vega, Ty Segall, The Mayyors, The Spits, Kid congo, Davila 666, BBQ, Wounded Lion, Human Eyes, the Cave, and Crystal Stilts. Euro customers can pick this up from Born Bad Records. Check out a sample track here. Click the image above to purchase.
Yves/Son/Ace is the solo project of Matthew Ford (Factums, Love Tan, Evening Meetings). He makes apocalyptic pop music with fuzzy, gnarled, overblown, and mangled instruments. Noises range from guitars and pianos to hammers and mallets. Industrial garage pop… or something. 6-song 7″ EP with high-quality jackets, black sleeves, and some tits. Highly recommend. Check out a sample track here. Click the image above to purchase.
We're proud to announce the repress of the debut LP from France's The Dreams. Members of Le Grande Tripple Alliance, The Dreams are two-piece jungle/tropicalia/reggae/glue wave band from France that play a spaced out, psychedelic mix of dub, reggae, post-punk, and French garage rock. It's impossible to pin down or classify, but you'll dance like your inner-stoner was set free into a tropical tiki party where the punks are all hanging out with the masters of reggae and dub, and everyone's having a good time. Their first LP, "Morbido", contains an amazing mix of feeling and aesthetics that will instantly appeal to fans of early Rough Trade records, Trojan box sets, or modern Glue Wave French punks. Mastered by Seb Normal of the Normals/The Feeling of Love. Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl. Click the image above to purchase.
New distro We've added a lot of new distro since our last update. Here's a quick recap:
- Black Mamba Beat "S/T" LP- Long awaited debut full length for this London-based South African trio, featuring mr Stix of Black Time fame.
- Bobsleigh Baby "S/T" LP – My Bloody Valentine meets Country Teasers, with a touch of Morriconesque atmospheres, by 2 guys and 2 gals based in Rome, Italy.
- Capputtini 'i lignu "S/T" LP – For those who have been wondering what the fuzz on this French Sicilian duo was all about, now it's the time to fully satisfy your unquenchable desire for raucous, primitive, traditional-yet-hypnotic "blues with a twist".
- Destination Lonely "Kiss or Kicks" LP – Destination Lonely is a new French all-star band from Bordeaux, Perpignan and Paris/Québec with Marco and Vince from The Fatals, Complications or Bobpopkiller back together with the help from the Polar Strong and Hoodlum drummer.
- Intellectuals "In the Middle of Darkwhere" LP – The fourth LP by one of the longest-living punk bands in Rome. This one is the darkest, as the title suggests; an ode to the political and cultural decadence currently swallowing the Mediterranean.
- Intellectuals "In the Middle of Darkwhere" LP – The fourth LP by one of the longest-living punk bands in Rome. This one is the darkest, as the title suggests; an ode to the political and cultural decadence currently swallowing the Mediterranean.
- Inutile "Please Tease" 7″ – Inutile, french for useless, heads from portland and it is made of two people and a fistful of machines, cogs, and buttons.

Associated Press
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- Turkey's embattled prime minister on Saturday ratcheted up the rhetoric against a U.S.-based Muslim cleric seen as a threat to his government, for the first time directly suggesting followers have infiltrated the police and judiciary and are pushing a corruption probe against his allies.
Analysts meanwhile pointed to growing evidence of an uneasy alliance between Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islam-based government and the secular military, which for years regarded him with suspicion.
The scandal is revealing the deep cracks among Turkey's elite, spilling out into the public the power struggles that have until now mostly remained hidden. Turks are watching with disbelief as two major Islamic groups go after each other so transparently.
Erdogan has frequently pointed to outside forces as trying to destabilize the country -- most recently during massive summer anti-government protests -- but he has broadened his claims in the latest crisis to include domestic foes working as "pawns."
Many believe the probe was orchestrated by followers of Pennsylvania-based spiritual leader Fethullah Gulen, a moderate preacher whose network of Muslim believers command a global empire of business, media and education interests.
Until recently, Gulen was a government backer -- but the power feud between Erdogan and Gulen has become increasingly public. In recent weeks, Gulen has prayed that "God bring fire to their houses," and Erdogan responded with a promise to "go into their caves" and "expose them." Neither side has named each other directly, but they have left no doubt as to the target of their words.
Erdogan on Saturday suggested the movement's followers had gotten into the police and the judiciary.
"There is a serious smear campaign and there is an organization, a gang that has established itself within the state," Erdogan said. There are judicial officials who are... smearing innocent people. They are within the police too."
Erdogan's political adviser Yalcin Akdogan suggested in a regular column in the pro-government Star newspaper this week that the Gulen movement had "framed" hundreds of military officers who were convicted last year of plotting to bring down the government.
The officers had long claimed that much of the evidence against them was fabricated. On Saturday, two Turkish newspapers -- Cumhuriyet and Milliyet -- reported that Turkey's military chief requested the government's help for a review of the case against the jailed officers and a retrial.
Cumhuriyet based the report on a senior official, while Milliyet did not cite a source. Military officials could not be reached on Saturday for comment on the reports, while a spokesman for Erdogan said he was aware of them but had no information on whether anything was under discussion.
Turkey's military has staged three military takeovers since the 1960s but has seen its powers curbed under Erdogan's decade in power. The trial of the military officers helped end its hold on politics.
The military says it won't be dragged into politics amid the scandal. But analysts say it distrusts Gulen's movement and may see Erdogan's government as the better option.
"As the alliance with Gulen is breaking down, there are signs that the government is entering into a kind of solidarity, a kind of a coalition, with the military," said Umit Kardas, a retired military judge and commentator for Taraf newspaper. "We are seeing a realignment of political alliances of sorts, although these types of alliances have no place in Turkish democracy."
Kardas added that current Turkish laws do not allow a re-trial in the case of the military officers.
Erdogan was forced to reshuffle his cabinet and dismiss ministers implicated in the case, which allegedly involves illicit money transfers to Iran and bribery for construction projects. Two former ministers' sons have been arrested on bribery charges.
The Turkish currency has plummeted against the dollar and the euro over the turmoil.
European officials urged Turkey to handle the case openly, amid concerns that Erdogan's government was trying to stifle the investigation. Mevlut Cavusoglu, Turkey's newly appointed minister in charge of relations with the European Union, responded by saying the matter was an internal Turkish one.
Erdogan has removed police officers from posts, sparking claims that his government was impeding the investigation. Erdogan also changed police regulations to ensure that corruption probes are funneled through top police and judiciary close to the government, but a Turkish high court overturned that move.
"I urge Turkey ... to take all the necessary measures to ensure that allegations of wrongdoing are addressed without discrimination or preference in a transparent and impartial manner," EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele said.

Ray Kelly presided over his final New York City Police Department graduation ceremony as police commissioner on Friday, which comes as both he and Mayor Michael Bloomberg are pointing to historic drops in crime during their tenure. NY1's Zack Fink filed the following report.
Friday was the final time that Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly would share the stage at an New York City Police Department graduation in their current jobs.
All throughout this month, Bloomberg has been highlighting the accomplishments of his administration, and on Friday, he spoke about a precipitous drop in crime during his tenure.
"The crime reductions the NYPD has driven over the past 12 years have defied the odds and far outpaced the rest of the nation," he said.
According to NYPD statistics, crime is down 32 percent since Bloomberg was first elected in 2001. Shootings are also down 32 percent since 2001. In fact, New York City is on pace to record fewer than 340 homicides in 2013, a 20 percent reduction since last year and a 49 percent reduction since 2001.
"This has been done with 6,000 fewer police officers than we had in 2001, and of course, with the added obligation to protect the city from a terrorist threat."
The number of murders are now at the lowest levels since the 1950s. The high mark was in 1990 at the height of the crack epidemic, when more than 2,000 people were killed.
"If you compare this decade to the previous era's murder rate, we can literally say that we have saved more than 9,200 lives in the last 12 years," Bloomberg said.
During the graduation ceremony at Madison Square Garden, the mayor and the commissioner welcomed nearly 2,000 new recruits to the NYPD.
Kelly was reflective about his own career as a police officer as he rose to the city's top job in the department.
"Forty-seven years ago, I stood in your shoes with my fellow graduates of the police academy," he said. "I remember everything that I and my classmates felt that day."
With the inauguration of Bill de Blasio next week, Kelly will be stepping down. He'll be replaced by William Bratton, certainly no novice to the job. He served as police commissioner under Rudolph Giuliani in the '90s.

The Socioeconomic Development and Environmental Science (DSEA) department has been working to help bring fuel-efficient, low-pollution stoves to rural Hondurans. In 2009, the Zamorano Improved Stoves Certification Center was established, with financial support from the TPW Energy Collaborative. The Center seeks to assist non-governmental organizations and governmental agencies to provide impoverished Central Americans with fuel-efficient stoves to combat air pollution and the severe health problems associated with traditional firewood cook stoves. These stoves also significantly reduce fuel consumption, helping to curtail deforestation and atmospheric contamination.
Stoves are evaluated for their fuel efficiency, emissions levels, and acceptability to local populations, who have preferences influenced by the common ways of preparing traditional cuisine. Zamorano helps train local, small businesses in the construction of these improved models and also provides verification services to ensure that the stoves are built according to proper design and construction specifications to ensure maximum efficiency.
Zamorano students are participating in Learning-by-Doing modules, practicums, and thesis research in the stove certification center. They build stoves to understand construction principles, analyze various models for heat transfer efficiency and air quality, and test different fuel types, while learning about the protocols required to run a small research facility. In the coming year, Zamorano plans to offer "stove camps", where regional participants can learn stove design principals, energy efficiency analysis, and explore potential strategies to foster larger-scale implementation.

PMAG 20 AR/M4 GEN M3 is Now Shipping, PMAG 10 AR/M4 GEN M3 Coming in 2013
These are a little later than anticipated due to production optimization of our standard capacity magazines, but we now have added capacity to produce the GEN M3 20rd magazine as well as have all the standard mags running 'round the clock. And so, without further fanfare, we give you the PMAG 20 GEN M3. The PMAG 20 AR/M4 GEN M3 includes all of the GEN M3 improvements, including constant curve geometry, which is a change from our previous straight 20rd PMAG.
We are also taking this opportunity to announce the PMAG 10 GEN M3, although this reduced capacity magazine will not be ready for release until early February, as we focus our current manufacturing capabilities on the standard capacity magazines.
Also, as promised, the PMAG 30 GEN M3 WINDOW is starting production, and we should be shipping before the first of the year.
The PMAG 20 GEN M3 brings the GEN M3 improvements to the 20 round magazine form factor. All of the GEN M3 improvements are here, including the constant curve geometry and fully anti-tilt, low-friction follower, which is a change from our GEN M2, straight PMAG 20. This gives you the shorter length and easier manipulation in the prone of a 20 round magazine, with all the reliability and durability of the GEN M3. Unlike with the 30 rounders, the 20 round GEN M3 will replace the GEN M2 offering in our product line. The PMAG 20 will have an MSRP of $13.95, keeping the price of the previous generation.
The PMAG 10 GEN M3 brings GEN M3 technology to the smallest possible magazine size. Perfect for hunting applications with or without the addition of a limiter, depending on local hunting laws, and also for states where overall capacity is limited. The 10 round GEN M3 includes all of the benefits of the GEN M3 line. Perfect for use with a bipod or when shooting off of a pack. MSRP $13.95, coming February 2013
Made in the U.S.A.

Inauguration of Varnasrama Media Productions
(Varnasrama Research Team members at the inauguration of Varnasrama Media Productions. His Grace Rasananda Prabhu graced the occasion and enlightened everyone with short lecture)
By Bharat Chandra Das
Around 50 devotees recently assembled at a unique inauguration ceremony at Secunderabad! The local Varnasrama Research Team (VRT), since its inception in 2007, had many accomplishments including completion of a documentary film called "Save Our Cows-Save Our Villages" which was well received in all circles. This debut documentary film contained interviews from around 15 professionals recorded at international conferences on cow protection in India. Taking cue from the potential this had to offer, the members of the local VRT recently formed a team and formally inaugurated Varnasrama Media Productions (VMP).
Varnasrama is a vast topic, less understood and myths hover around it although our Founder Acharya Srila Prabhupada gave clear guidelines. In order to create wide awareness on concepts and practices of varnasrama dharma, utilizing audiovisual media forms an integral part of the mission. There are many series of documentary films lined up including a major documentary film project called – "Make Vrindavan Villages".
The Varnasrama Media Productions project, initiated by GLOVESCO (Global Varnasrama Educational, Social and Cultural Organization) will help achieve the important concepts such as self-sufficiency, local governance, simple living-high thinking, lessons from varnasrama projects and so on, a string of projects lined up which will help devotees all over the world get-involved in the matter of community living based on principles of varnasrama. Varnasrama aspirants from Dubai and local Varnasrama Research Team members were very much instrumental in getting this project started and we are very grateful to each one of them and we will reciprocate soon.
"When I joined in 1971, I felt a great fear of isolation and alienation from "normal" society. I thought that my world had shrunk and that I had only a few eccentric monks as my social circle. My future seemed lonely. Little did I realize that a real society was being born—like a lotus from a navel—sprouting a stalk that would soon flower into an international confederation of varnas and asramas expanding like sound waves from your lotus lips. Now I can't keep up with the "free forum," letters, phone calls, friends, congregational members, acquaintances, and family—what to speak of my own sadhana and duties at ITV to the work and the staff. My social calendar is overflowing, and my mind is brimming with appointments and "to-dos." How am I ever going to accomplish it all? IMPOSSIBLE! (Whoops. I just don't know how to eliminate that word from my computer.)……We have lists of programs that we want to produce. The endeavor could take a lifetime. We would like it to take a lot less."
Narasimhananda dasa (ACBSP), ITV
Sri Vyasa Puja, 1996 Centennial
Extract from foilo
Humbly hoping that VMP can become a lending hand to senior devotees to fulfill Srila Prabhupada's mission (which is only 50% completed).
Begging to be engaged in the service of the Vaisnavas,
Varnasrama Media Productions Team

By Anthony D'Alessandro
The 1970s Virginia Slims cigarette promos boasted the slogan "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" toward their femme demo and the same prideful adage can be applied to the female action hero who has broken ceilings at the cinema over the last 40 years.
In the wake of the body count left behind by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone in the '80s and '90s, it's often asked Who is the action hero of now?
As a fresh crop of actors make their mark in the genre, they become too pretentious about fully wearing the crown for fear of being pigeon-holed: Gerard Butler and Vin Diesel prefer to dabble in bullets.
If you're holding out for a hero, "Salt" reminds us that our cinematic knight in shining armor wears a dress and her name is Angelina Jolie. Jolie doesn't duck her head when labeled as an action lead: She knows that there are enough Oscar-worthy offers out there for her, even if she gets a little grease on her hands.
Sure, we've already seen Jolie's finesse with fisticuffs in "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," but "Salt" showcases the actress' physical prowess at its zenith with arm-breaking acrobatics and the overall philosophy that it's better to send in a woman to do a man's job — a shout out to Tom Cruise who was originally intended for the title role.
In the Phillip Noyce-directed film, Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who comes to the realization that she's a sleeper Russian spy after her childhood Soviet intelligence-mentor Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski) outs her before her U.S. associates. Salt's ultimate mission is to assassinate the Russian president at a New York City funeral for the U.S. vice president. From this point on, "Salt" turns into a lean and mean chase as the title character defies any punishments that her Yankee counterparts, Ted Winter (Liev Schreiber) and Peabody (an intense Chiwetel Ejiofor) wish to rain on her.
Noyce is no stranger to spy actioners having hit his stride with the Tom Clancy adaptations "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger." What makes "Salt" more enjoyable is that it doesn't get bogged down in the politico-spy speak of those films, rather it takes the square root of them, distilling down to a heart-thumping orchestration of stunts, eloquently backed by James Newtown Howard's string and [...]

'Salt' Review: The Evolution of Girl Power
Review: 'Salt' means to be dumb summer fun for grown-ups, but is really just dumb
By Todd Gilchrist
hollywoodnews.com: Phillip Noyce's Salt is the kind of movie that adults point to as good entertainment when they're more resentful of the choices available for younger audiences than they are discriminating enough to choose something genuinely intelligent for themselves. A thriller obviously designed to capitalize on the success of political-potboiler predecessors like the Bourne series, it wears the pedigree of "mature" filmmaking in much the same way a recent college graduate reinforces his unassailable worldliness with a framed diploma from a private university.
And yet it's the "grown-up" equivalent of Transformers or some other kind of idiotic escapism, a knuckle-headed action movie that has less creativity or ambition than it does money and star power, and which will ultimately earn a pass from audiences and probably critics as well for no other discernible reason than it's only mediocre, while most of its competition is just plain godawful.
Angelina Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA operative who gets hunted by her former colleagues when an interrogation subject announces that she is an undercover Russian spy. Fleeing Washington, D.C. to track down her husband Mike (August Diehl), whom she believes was kidnapped by the same people framing her, Salt soon finds herself unwittingly going through with a plot to kill a visiting Russian dignitary, if only to figure out where her husband is, who set her up, and how she can clear her name, and all before being locked in prison or getting killed by her pursuers.
The biggest problem with Salt is that you just don't care what happens – at any point, and with one exception, to any character. (And the one, sadly, isn't Salt herself.) The film's self-congratulatory attitude towards its gender indifference – a continuation from the announcement that the title character was originally meant to be played a man – subjects Jolie to torture, beatings, gunfights, and showdowns of epic proportions, and yet none of them seem to be born of anything other than empty-headed screenwriting clichés.
We are informed repeatedly that Salt is a trained killer with talents and abilities beyond our comprehension, for example, but it seems like she could have just as easily learned about kicking ass from watching MMA or downloading a steady diet of politically-themed action films. That you never worry for her health or safety is less a reflection of the filmmakers' liberal attitudes towards female empowerment than the inevitability that the main [...]
David Fincher's "The Social Network" gets full trailer treatment
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: David Fincher's "The Social Network" quickly is becoming one of our most anticipated movies of the fall.
Forget the fact that Fincher hasn't made a bad film. And more often than not, his film's are stunning, challenging works of high art. "Benjamin Button," "Fight Club" and "The Game" all made my Top 10 lists in the year's they came out. "Zodiac" actually topped my list in 2007.
But I am intrigued by the story behind "Social Network," which recounts the controversial rise of Facebook through the eyes of its founder, Mark Zuckerberg. Aaron Sorkin gets credit for the screenplay, adapted from Ben Mezrich's novel. And Jesse Eisenberg of "Zombieland" and "Adventureland" looks perfectly cast as the pioneering Zuckerberg.
A new, full trailer makes its way online this afternoon. It only raises my already high expectations. We already know Fincher is opening the New York Film Festival with "Social Network" in September. I imagien it will play Toronto, as well.
When will the general public see it? Sony plans to open it wide on Oct. 1.

'Mission: Impossible 4′ bound to happen, but will it star Tom Cruise?
HollywoodNews.com: Paramount is looking to make a fourth "Mission: Impossible," the question is whether or not it stars Tom Cruise.
Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore told the Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, "We absolutely are excited about having Tom Cruise star in this movie."
But insiders and observers claim that Paramount's courtship with Cruise hinges on the foreign turnout of "Knight and Day." Typically, Cruise excels abroad at the box office versus his domestic returns. Currently, "Knight and Day," a $100 million-plus budgeted feature, has crashed at the domestic B.O. with $63 million.
The overseas release for "Knight" has been held up due to the World Cup with many European territories set to be released. "Knight" will unspool this weekend in Australia, Spain and Brazil. To date, "Knight" has made $38 million abroad. For an "M:I-4" greenlight with Tom Cruise to occur, "Knight" will need to make $200 million or more at the foreign B.O.
Many pundits have attributed the lackluster performance of "Knight" to Cruise's zany public image. Crusie faults Fox for bumbling "Knight." The Hollywood Reporter –which had the scoop on this story– writes:
Cruise's reps said (Fox's co-chairman Tom) Rothman engaged in micromanaging, leading to delays in responding to prerelease research indicating that the movie was not alluring to audiences. And they question a number of marketing decisions, including why the studio never updated a teaser poster that didn't show the faces of Cruise and his co-star, Cameron Diaz.
Should "Knight" make less than $200 million, it's plausible that the lead role of Ethan Hunt will be recasted. Such a move would re-boot the entire franchise.
No script has surfaced yet for "M:I-4," though the studio hopes to release the film for the 2011 holiday season. Paramount wants a budget that's around $140 million, definitely less than the third installment's $165 million-plus cost.
Earlier this month, the British press was hot with news that Cruise and producer Jerry Bruckheimer would team up for a long-awaited sequel to "Top Gun."
In the meantime, it has been widely reported that Cruise is working on a comedy with Ben Stiller about his Les Grossman studio executive character, which was a hit at the MTV Movie Awards.

"Transformers" roll through Chicago as Bay blows up Windy City
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: The Windy City became The Demolished City as Michael Bay brought his production crew to Chicago to shoot scenes for "Transformers 3."
Specific details about the plot are being kept under wraps. Screenwriter Ehren Kruger, who penned part of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," returns to the franchise, as does lead actor Shia LaBeouf. Of course, most of you know Megan Fox will not be returning as Shia's love interest. She has been replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. What I didn't realize is that Huntington-Whiteley will be playing Fox's character, Mikaela Banes. (At least, according to IMDB she is.) I just assumed Bay would cast her as a different girl for LaBeouf's Sam character. Maybe he fears "Transformers" fans wouldn't be able to follow just an elaborate switch?
None of the actors appear in photos posted to various Web sites this morning, however. Click on ChicagoNow for shots of Optimus Prime rolling down a devastated LaSalle Street in Chicago. And the always excellent Film Drunk ran photos sent by Drunk readers, which have a NASCAR theme. Sounds about right.
"Transformers 3″ will film in Chicago through August. It's scheduled to hit theaters July 1, 2011.

Chris Pine will star as Jack Ryan in winter or early spring
HollywoodNews.com: Notice any big franchise titles missing from the summer box office?
Remember novelist Tom Clancy's character Jack Ryan?
Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura reveals that Jack Ryan will return before the cameras in "Moscow" in either late winter or early spring. Chris Pine of "Star Trek" fame is expected to fill the shoes of Ryan who has been played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck in the past.
"Moscow" isn't based on any of the Clancy novels. Plot follows Ryan, just out of the Marines, before he joins the C.I.A., working as a financial advisor to a Russian billionaire.
Ryan gets framed and must clear his name while rescuing his wife. No director has been attached at this time.
The last Jack Ryan title starring Ben Affleck, "The Sum of All Fears," made $118.9 million at the summer box office in 2002.

Kevin Williamson drops out of 'Scream 4′ production
HollywoodNews.com: Creative conflicts and numerous rewrites on the set of "Scream 4″ have apparently resulted in writer/creator Kevin Williamson ("Vampire Diaries", "Dawson's Creek") leaving the production and being replaced with Ehren Kruger, the man behind "Scream 3″, "The Ring", and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen".
Several actors on the currently-in-production sequel have expressed dissatisfaction with the project in the days leading up to this announcement, with Hayden Panettiere being reportedly "beyond frustrated" with the script's numerous creative changes and both Lake Bell and Lauren Graham quitting their roles in the film after major changes to their characters. The effect Williamson's additional departure will have on this latest installment of the classic horror franchise remains to be seen in the following months leading up to the film's release date in April.

It's beginning to look a lot like spring here in the Duke City as sunny skies and dry conditions have become the norm recently. This has caused not only the melting of snow in the mountains, but also the budding of trees meaning that allergy sufferers are busting out the tissues earlier than usual.
Some are letting Dan Gates know about it.
He measures the pollen count for the City of Albuquerque. He says that January not only marks the beginning of the new year, but also the beginning of life for certain trees, including elm, juniper, and cedar.
Even if it gets cold again, the allergens will stick around.
"If we have weather like we have here for the next couple of weeks and then we have a hard freeze, that freeze will stop the pollen of the tree itself. The thing is the pollen is already on the tree so if it warms up again, it's going to get distributed and still affect people," Gates said.
It also needs to stay warm, specifically with an average temperature of at least 40 degrees, for Gates to begin measuring pollens, which could occur as early as next week.

A team of astronomers is now looking for Dyson Spheres, massive star-scale solar power plants that extraterrestrial hunters hope alien civilizations employ.
In 1960, mathematician, physicist, and all-around genius Freeman Dyson predicted that every civilization in the Universe eventually runs out of energy on its home planet, provided it survives long enough to do so. Dyson argued that this event constitutes a major hurdle in a civilization's evolution, and that all those who leap over it do so in precisely the same way: they build a massive collector of starlight, a shell of solar panels to surround their home star. Astronomers have taken to calling these theoretical megastructures Dyson Spheres. Dyson's insight may seem like nothing more than a thought experiment, but if his hypothesis is sound, it has a striking implication: if you want to find advanced alien civilizations, you should look for signs of Dyson Spheres.
Last month a trio of astronomers led by Penn State's Jason Wright began a two-year search for Dyson Spheres, a search that will span the Milky Way, along with millions of other galaxies. Their project was just awarded a sizable grant from the Templeton Foundation, a philanthropic organization that funds research on the "big questions" that face humanity, questions relating to "human purpose and ultimate reality."
So how do Wright and his team aim to find a Dyson Sphere? Though the word "sphere" summons to mind a solid structure, Wright says his team won't be looking for solid shells. "Even though there is enough mass in our solar system to construct a solid sphere, such a structure would not be mechanically feasible," Wright told me. "It would probably have to be more like a swarm of collectors."
This wild speculation about futuristic alien tech probably seems unscientific, but the search for extraterrestrial civilizations has always depended upon such speculation. Think of all the predictions that are baked into SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, which uses telescope arrays to scan the heavens for alien radio communications. At present, humans have nowhere near the excess energy you'd need to send the kind of radio signal that SETI is looking for. Earlier this year, astronomer Robert Gray told me that "to operate a radio beacon that is on all the time, broadcasting in all directions, strong enough to be picked up from many light years away, you need an enormous amount of energy -- something in the range of thousands and thousands of big power plants." SETI is betting that advanced civilizations will value communicating with other civilizations a lot, or at least enough to justify huge energy expenditures. It's also betting that such civilizations will communicate via radio waves, and that they will transmit their signals on one of the frequencies that we monitor. For us to find intelligent extraterrestrials, it's not enough that they exist; they have to develop and use technology in predictable ways.
Compared with SETI, a search that focuses on Dyson Spheres assumes a lot less about the goals of futuristic alien civilizations.
Compared with SETI, a search for Dyson Spheres assumes a lot less about the goals of futuristic alien civilizations. In fact, most of its assumptions proceed directly from simple biology. As Wright, the project leader, explained to me, "life, by definition, uses energy, which it must reradiate as waste heat." The larger the civilization, the more energy it uses and the more heat it reradiates. Life also (by definition) reproduces, which introduces the possibility of exponentially increasing energy demands. If left unchecked, those increases will eventually outstrip the available energy on a planet. That would leave a growing civilization no choice but to mine energy from other planets and, eventually, their stars.
Let's use the Earth as a test case. As Oliver Morton has pointed out with a lovely metaphor, the sun beams a total of 120,000 terawatts per day onto our planet. That's 10,000 times the amount that flows through our industrial civilization. That's a lot of energy, but remember that our industrial civilization is young, and growing fast. In just the past 30 years, we've doubled our global energy supply. At that doubling rate, in 400 years we will be collecting or generating enough energy to match the total sunlight that comes to our planet. At that point, it may be time to draw up plans for a Dyson Sphere.
It's conceivable that an advanced alien civilization could be exponentially more energy-intensive than ours, especially when you consider that its industrial revolutions and energy doublings may have begun billions of years ago. Dyson Spheres could be an ancient and prolific phenomenon in our universe.

Eggnog Ice Cream Reviews
Gourmet | December 2005
reviews & comments (17)
DELICIOUS recipe. This will be part of Thanksgiving dessert and know my family will be impressed. I did cut down on the heavy cream, and subbed more whole milk (just to cut down a bit of fat) and the flavor is still exceptional. Highly recommend for eggnog lovers.
I have not even put this through the machine to churn it yet and I just want to drink it in a mug! Wow, what great flavor - exactly as eggnog should taste. Can't wait to serve it to my guests. (Oh, and because I only had five eggs, I used one whole egg and four yolks. Next time I'll check the fridge before I start.)
I followed this recipe exactly. It was absolutely, hands down, the best ice cream recipe I've ever made. It was so smooth and creamy. Amazing! I'm making it again 48 hours later to give away to friends.
Super delicious! I cut out the chilling time by doing an immersion bath (small bowl in a larger bowl filled with water and ice). I stirred it for about ten minutes or until it's temperature was near my fridges temp. This allowed me to almost immediately transfer the batch to my ice cream maker and not worry about waiting around for it to chill. I'm planning on serving it with an ounce of Cream Sherry and fresh nutmeg on top.
Made this with egg substitue, so I didn't have to cook the egg yolks and it turned out wonderful. Everybody loved it, nice and creamy.
A Big HIT for Christmas. I hate eggnog and even I couldn't resist this rich and silky ice cream. I served it with a Spiced Rum Sauce at the bottom of a small bowl (about a 1 1/2 tsp) and it was a nice compliment to this desert. Would make this again.
Oh is this good! I used less rum (maybe a tablespoon total) because I was making it for kids and well, it's just not the holidays yet! Loved this ice cream and I'm about to make it again. Rich, creamy, perfect.
This ice cream is delicious and tastes just like frozen egg nog (and who doesn't like that?!) I even used some skim milk and decreased the egg slightly, and it was still fabulous and froze with no problem. To increase the eggnog flavor, I added extra ground nutmeg and ground cloves. Yummy!
This was awfully rich so I did tinker with it and it still came out great. Used only half the whipping cream and doubled the milk and used 3 whole eggs + 1 yolk instead of 7 yolks. Lovely in profiteroles too!

The other night, The Angry Chef and I had a good old friend over for dinner. We hadn't seen him in quite a while, and it was so lovely to catch up. He brought a great bottle of sweet white wine and some fantastic port. We made dinner, which I'm realizing now turned into a […]
Garlic and Ginger Infused Chicken Broth
Everyone has their own cold remedy. This is mine. Make the sniffles stop! I've had a savage cold for the last three days. Since The Angry Chef is catching it, too, neither of us was in the mood to destroy the kitchen with a full-blown chicken soup production. No matter, though. This is the chicken […]chicken, chicken stock, garlic, ginger, Thai chili
Cider Cooked Cornish Game Hens with Apple and Bacon
I love cornish game hens because they're so sweet and small. They cook quickly. And with very little effort, they transform into a ridiculously impressive-looking main course. For as delicate as they may be, this is stick-to-your-ribs winter food. The little hens stay moist and succulent from an overnight soak in a sweet and brine-y […]apple cider, apples, bacon, cornish game hen, roasting
Chicken Cooked in Cream
Warning: This isn't diet food. This chicken is comfort food times ten. I was feeling a little under the weather when I got home from the office, and wanted something soothing, warm, salty, and rich. I don't eat like this all the time. Honest. So, you know that thing your grandmother used to do with […]chicken, cream, Pasta & starch, stew
Crispy Sesame Chicken Nibbles
Win friends and influence people with Crispy Sesame Chicken Nibbles! Just kidding. (Sorry, I had a very long day at work.) Seriously, though, I defy you to serve these at a party and not have them almost immediately gobbled up. These little bits have two of the qualities that I love in a dish: They're […]chicken, sesame
Thursday Bento
I've been long on deadlines and short on time this week. Luckily, the Angry Chef has been packing me a lunch every day. Today's came in my spiffy new bento box. Allow me to present Thursday's Lunch Happiness. Top tier Yellow rice. His version of my snap pea salad (minus the chili flakes). Bottom tier […]bento, chicken, lunch, rice, snap pea
Butter Roasted Chicken
I blame the blogosphere for this one. At least for all the butter. In my travels online, I've become acquainted with the fabulously talented Kitchen Girl Jo, a fellow food blogger. Sometime in the last week or so, Jo posted a mouth-watering recipe for butter-poached lobster tails. She got me thinking about cooking things in […]chicken, roasting, veggies
Herb Roasted Chicken Legs with Root Vegetables
I know that fall is officially on its way when I start to roast chicken. Even though I bake pretty consistently year round, I'd never dream of roasting a chicken in the summer. For some reason, that's a cold-weather ritual, at least for me. This roasted chicken/veggie combination makes a great, rustic autumn dinner. The […]chicken, roasting, root vegetables

Fried Chicken, Done Right
I learned the proper way make fried chicken about five or six years ago when I worked for a friend of mine. She was part owner of a caterer/cafe, which has since (sadly) changed hands. I was working as a freelance writer at the time, and working at the shop got me away from the […]chicken, frying

Rare Interview with Sarah Lindstrom: 'we gave them confidence to come out & be themselves'
by Bambi Weavil (Out Impact on Facebook, Out Impact on Twitter)
Sarah Lindstrom, 18, made worldwide attention when her and her girlfriend, Desiree Shelton, were voted onto the royalty court of her high school in Champlin Park High School in Minneapolis' northwest suburbs for Snow Days Pep Fest. They fought for the right to walk together, breaking the school's tradition of boy/girl pairs. School officials tried to change procedure as a result of their election into royalty court by having court members walk individually or accompanied by a parent or favorite teacher. Their school district has received criticism for its policies toward homosexuality.
Two human rights organizations sued on Lindstrom and Shelton's behalf, and during mediated talks, an agreement was reached and the school relented, allowing those elected to walk escorted by anyone meaningful to them.
We had the opportunity for a rare interview with Lindstrom regarding the change in her school district's policy, LGBT issues including bullying, and her view on the mainstream attention:
Bambi Weavil: Do you feel that the issues you helped raise and fought against in the Anoka-Hennepin school district is reflective to other local and national issues in the school system?
Sarah Lindstrom: For sure. I think it will make other school districts think twice about these certain issues and hopefully making a step in the right direction to equality.
BW: Do you feel that the students from your high school were more progressive to LGBT issues?
SL: For the whole Snow Days alone, there were many supporters out there that made signs, wore purple armbands, did silent protests, and voiced their support for us. I couldn't believe what percentage of the school were supporting us. I think the whole incident brought out the supporters that I didn't know we had.
BW: There's been an alarming amount of bullying and suicides in the district. Were those incidents ever discussed or addressed out in the open? Did students ever feel concerned? Did you personally know any of those students?
SL: I don't think it was discussed much other than in the GSA at my school. Before this, I didn't even know that some of the suicides were LGBT related. I think this should be talked about more out in the open because I don't think it's getting voiced enough to others. I didn't actually know any of them personally but to hear about it alone just tears my heart apart. Nobody deserves to be bullied.
BW: Do you feel campaigns such as "It Gets Better" have any impact to teens?
SL: I think the "It Gets Better" campaign reaches out to many in the LGBT community because in some of the videos they were telling their personal story of being bullied and getting out of it and becoming a stronger person. It gives teens a spark of hope knowing that it will get better outside of high school.
BW: Do you feel that challenging the system so you could walk with your girlfriend as a member of the royalty court, is going to reinforce a positive change for other gay students and more inclusiveness and acceptance?
SL: Definitely a positive one. I've gotten countless amounts of personal messages on facebook from random people from all over the place telling me that we gave them confidence to come out and be themselves. It think there will be an increasingly larger number of out lgbt now after seeing my girlfriend and I walk confidently in front out high school and knowing that it really is okay.
BW: What is next for you in your academic career after high school?
SL: I'm not sure about college, but I do know I want to be a musician and get into modeling. I play guitar and sing so I'm hoping to get into a band sometime soon. As for modeling, at the moment I'm researching modeling agencies to get into so I'm hoping for that to work out too.
BW: What was your coming out experience like to your family and to your friends?
SL: My coming out was a little weird for me. My parents and some of my friends already knew I was gay before I came out. It was weird because I knew they knew, but I couldn't get myself to say it. I pretty much eased into my coming out. I started out telling my friends one by one, and then my parents last. There are a few family members of mine that don't agree with it, but that doesn't stop me from being who I am. Overall it was an exciting experience and definitely a relief now that I'm completely out to everybody, including strangers.
BW: What has this experience and all this mainstream attention taught you about activism and awareness?
SL: Ever since this got mainstream, I've learned a lot about the controversy. It makes me feel like such a good person getting involved in all of this activism stuff knowing that I'm helping the community. I'm actually a really shy person so I didn't think activism was for me, but I got over it and just stuck to the thought that I'm doing lots of good getting involved.
BW: What is the gay community like in Minneapolis?
SL: I'd say there are quite a few out and open gays. Minneapolis is very accepting compared to other places.
BW: Were you surprised at all the mainstream attention?
SL: I honestly didn't think this would get out. I thought it was going to stay between Dez, me, teachers, and the principals and maybe a few friends. But this is high school, so rumors fly around like crazy, and people talk. That just makes the issue bigger, and more and more school faculty got involved, and then the media people heard about [it]. One thing leads to another, which then leads to another. But at the same time, I'm glad that this got so mainstream because I know it has had a positive impact on the LGBT community all over the world.
BW: At the end of the day, you're a young adult and we shouldn't lose sight of that. What are you looking forward to this summer? What's on your radar as Sarah Lindstrom, everyday person who happens to be gay, as opposed to Sarah Lindstrom, news-maker?
SL: Well, I'm looking forward to graduating high school for sure. This summer I plan on spending as much time as possible with my friends before they leave to college and all of us go our separate ways. I also hope to start out my modeling and get some people together to make a band.
BW: If you had any advice for gay teens, what would you say to them if given the opportunity?
SL: Be yourself. It's a tough world out there, but that shouldn't stop you from being who you are and enjoying your life the way you want. There are going to be people that don't agree with you, but you just have to keep your head up because there will always be somebody out there to support you.

Nick Ross, the former Crimewatch and Watchdog presenter, has been signed up as the face of an ombudmsan scheme for the conservatory and double glazing industry being launched from Manchester. The Double Glazing and Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme (DGCOS) has been set up by Tony Pickup, who in 1996 set up the Quality Assurance Association, a trade association for contractors.
The Double Glazing and Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme aims to offer protection for double glazing and conservatory consumers and double glazing and conservatory installers in a £4.65bn double glazing and conservatory industry. The double glazing and conservatory industry was responsible for 22,000 complaints to trading standards last year.
The DGCOS has already signed up 126 double glazing installers. It is claimed that the new scheme is different from existing consumer protection schemes because installers who sign up for it are legally bound by its decisions.
The DGCOS Compensation Fund will pay out all bona fide claims to compensate homeowners using DGCOS Accredited Installers where traders fail to live up to their promises and the ombudsman has found in their favour. Traders will also have some protection against customers who withhold payment or make unfounded complaints. The double glazing installers also have to pay into a bond scheme to cover compensation if they cease trading.
Nick Ross said: "Consumer agencies champion ombudsman schemes because they give customers real protection. DGCOS is based on similar schemes which have been successful in other industries and are strongly recommended by consumer groups.
"Rogue traders have done serious harm to the reputation of the industry, so restoring confidence is important not just for consumers but for all good contractors. DGCOS can help rebuild trust and mark out the good guys from the cowboys."

An Overview of Medicare Supplemental Insurance in New York
As you get older it is natural to end up needing more medical care to stay in good health. There are many age-related medical conditions, and day-to-day wear and tear on your body can lead to you needing surgery. If you are over the age of 65 then you may qualify for Medicare insurance, which would make it easier for you to gain access to otherwise expensive medical treatment, surgery and other procedures.
Medicare in New York covers around 80% of the cost of most treatments, which means that you will still need to find the remaining 20% of the cost. Some treatments are prohibitively expensive, to the point that even 20% of the cost can be a lot of money for the average family. For those circumstances, there is another offering, called Medicare supplement insurance, which makes it easier to afford expensive courses of treatment.
Filling the Gaps with New York Medicare Supplemental Insurance
Medicare Supplemental Insurance in New York policies are also known as NY Medigap plans. These policies complete Medicare by offering financial support for expenses that Medicare itself do not cover. If you opt to take out both Medicare and Medigap, then you effectively have 100% coverage for expensive medical interventions, surgery and other treatments in your retirement. Medigap is not expensive, so most people can afford them without too many issues. If you are in a position where oyu can pay for NY Medigap then you should take it out, because it is much cheaper to have the insurance before you need it than it is to pay for medical care as and when the need arises. Supplemental coverage is easy to obtain. Just ask your insurance provider for details.
You can get NY Medicare supplements from almost any insurance company or broker. Just call around and ask for some quotes. There are plans available for married people, and these plans are often more affordable than a single person's cover. Your insurance provider will be able to offer detailed personal advice that is tailored to your circumstances.

Jan 25 - BancAlliance has announced that its membership now exceeds 100 banks across 31 states, and the network continues to unlock the commercial lending market for community banks across the country.
BancAlliance is a collaborative solution for community banks that allows them to access attractive lending markets, typically dominated by larger banks. said Lee Sachs, co-founder and CEO of Alliance Partners, the asset manager for BancAlliance. The strength of the networks scale and collaborative efforts continue to expand with each new member.
Formed in 2011, BancAlliance is a network of community and regional banks that work together to evaluate and fund commercial and specialty loans that otherwise would be too large for an individual members balance sheet.
Explaining banks motivation for joining the cooperative, BancAlliance Board member, Malcolm Hotchkiss, CEO of United Labor Bank and a founding member of the network, said, BancAlliance gives its members greater access to highquality commercial loans to safely increase lending while diminishing real estate concentrations. In todays environment, community banks must seek out
innovative solutions to successfully increase profitability and enhance services for their customers and communities.
BancAlliance members recently gained access to a broad array of equipment finance loans, complementing the original corporate finance lending platform. Our growth in membership has been well matched with our ability to originate high-quality loans, and is fueled by the exciting potential of the commercial lending market, Sachs concluded.
About BancAlliance
The BancAlliance network is a shared corporate and specialty lending platform that identifies, evaluates, and refers loan and lease opportunities to its community bank members. In addition, members have access to ongoing monitoring of all loans and leases sourced through the network. Our mission is to enable our members, the banks that direct our activities, to prudently diversify into high-quality corporate and specialty loans and leases in a manner consistent with the highest
commercial and regulatory standards without changing the nature or mission of the traditional community bank. BancAlliance has over 100 member banks located in 31 states. Learn more at www.bancalliance.com.
