HAuNTcon is proud to announce our lanyard sponsor, Vortex Chillers.
Vortex Chillers uses a unique new process to produce for the first time, truly affordable low lying fog products as well as natural energy fog curtains for both home and commercial use. No $10 per minute CO2 costs, no $13,000 investment needed, our fog chillers use plain water based ice cubes and a typical fog machine to create super-chilled real fog. Using our exclusive Rock Star Ultra Low Lying fog fluid, the result is a stunning display of odorless snow-white colored, ground hugging fog that is 10 degrees colder than any low-fog generators on the market.

HAuNTcon Sponsor – Darklight Systems
HAuNTcon is proud to announce our t-shirt sponsor, Darklight Systems.
Darklight was founded in spring of 2010 as a manufacturer of special effects lighting equipment catering to the themed attraction industry. We specialize in illumination in low-light and space constrained environments where traditional theatrical luminaires are not suitable. The "Precision" series of LED fixtures were developed with compactness, safety, modularity, and ease of use in mind, allowing lighting designers to illuminate environments that were not previously possible with larger fixtures.
In 2011, we expanded our product line to include self-developed compact controllers that add a dynamic element to our luminaires.
In late 2012, we launched a new line of products catering to the professional lighting and architectural markets called the "Gantom" series. The industry recognized Gantom iQ, an ultra-compact image projector, spearheads our focus into the specified lighting market. Our award winning products have since become the "secret weapon" of many lighting designers and industry experts and have been installed in a wide range of applications including theme parks, museums, bars & clubs, casinos, and haunted attractions all around the world.

A new study published by Mercer and Kronos reports that employee absences cost employers 35% of payroll cost. That's quite a bit of money for time not spent working. Plus most companies have some form of sick leave, vacation leave, and holiday time not to mention required leaves under FMLA and other federal or state laws so you are paying somebody to track all of this too.
I'm a believer in PTO (Paid Time Off). What do I care as your employer if you need a day off to take the dog to the vet, stay home with a sick kid, need a mental health day or like to celebrate a holiday I don't know about? Way too much information and the end result is the same, you aren't working. How about this instead- "All employees receive the following paid holidays (insert the days your company is closed). In addition to paid holidays after the first 90 days of employment employees accrue 10 hours of PTO per month in years 1-3 of employment. Employees accrue 12 hours per month of PTO per month in years 4 and 5 of employment and 15 hours of PTO per month after the fifth year. Employees are encourage to use their PTO in the year earned, however up to 24 hours may be transferred at each year end. PTO balance has no monetary value and will not be converted to cash and paid at termination. (depending on state law). PTO of more than 3 days will required either a two week advance request or if an advance request is not possible an explanation to your manager as to the reason for the PTO."
I've managed both PTO programs only, vacation & sick time off, and a combination of all three- PTO always is the favorite with the employees- AND less abused with frequent unplanned absences, sick people working when they should be at home….and it's so much easier to track on the HR side.
Join the conversation: Is PTO a good idea?

Foreclosure filings spiked upward another 7 percent in March of this year, but one expert believes there are alternatives consumers can use to avoid becoming part of next month's statistic.
During March, the amount of foreclosure filings totaled 239,745, according to statistics released from RealtyTrac, up from February, when filings totaled 225,101. Granted, the rate of increase is slower than it was this time last year, but financial expert Deborah McNaughton, author of "The Essential Credit Repair Handbook" from Career Press (http://www.financialvictory.com), said that the decrease wasn't attributable to better market conditions.
"The slowdown is because there are so many foreclosures to file, it's taking lenders longer to process foreclosure proceedings," McNaughton said. "The allegations of fraud in some of these foreclosure proceedings started last September, and as a result, there was a temporary suspension of foreclosures while the fraud was investigated. There are people out there who are still in trouble, but there are ways they can avoid a foreclosure, if they're willing to do the work."

Second period summary: Bruins vs. Devils | 03.30.10 at 8:30 pm ET |
The scoring sheet dictates that it's been a clean game thus far, but at this rate the Bruins stand to capitalize on how sloppy the Devils have been.
Neither team has seen a player head to the penalty box thus far in a game the Bruins have continued to play well defensively in. The Devils seem more disruptive towards their own offense than toward that of the Bruins. In addition to struggling to stay onside multiple times and lacking shots on goal (just 11 through two), Ilya Kovalchuk absolutely killed a chance in the seventh minute, forgoing a clear shot at Rask for an ill-advised and zone-clearing pass to defensemen Paul Martin.
Former Bruin Brian Rolston wound up ahead of the pack on a bouncing puck along the boards in the Bruins' zone but put too much mustard on a pass in front of the net to Clarkson, clearing the zone before eventually regaining and blasting a slapshot that was picked out of the air by Rask with just under four and a half minutes to play.
Though the Bruins continue to provide plenty of offensive pressure, they remain unable to capitalize, as a rebound from a low Mark Recchi shot bounced nearly all the way to the point before anyone touched it. Many of the Bruins' 22 shots have been low on Brodeur, including one from Michael Ryder, in the midst of a cold streak. No. 73 had a solid opportunity on the doorstep about five minutes into the period that Brodeur held onto.
After two periods the Bruins are outshooting the Devils, 22-11.
First period summary: Bruins vs. Devils | at 7:45 pm ET |
The first period between the Bruins and Devils at the Prudential Center was highlighted by strong defense and sporadic yet unsuccessful offensive flurries. The Bruins ended the period with a 13-6 shots on goal advantage and had a handful of realistic opportunities against Devils netminder Martin Brodeur.
The period featured bookend scoring chances for the Bruins. Mark Stuart rang one off the post just over a minute into the period and Steve Begin was robbed in a scrum in front of the net with two and a half to go in a flurry that also featured a bid from Daniel Paille and Patrice Bergeron.
With just under nine minutes to go in the period, Marco Sturm and Mark Recchi were denied of a potential juicy rebound when Brodeur lost his balance saving a wrister from the stick of Dennis Wideman despite a screen from Bergeron.
Each goaltender displayed subpar stickwork with about six and a half minutes remaining in the period. Shortly after Brodeur mishandled the puck in a way reminiscent of the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals, Tuukka Rask was nearly caught playing out the puck out of his net before taking out Dean McAmmond himself.
Miller on Thomas: 'It's unfortunate' | at 1:45 am ET |
Don't for a second think that Ryan Miller wasn't happy when Tim Kennedy's flukey wrist shot floated and fluttered past Tim Thomas at 6:08 of the second period to put the Sabres up, 3-1 against the Bruins.
But that doesn't mean Miller couldn't have at least a little compassion for a fellow goalie, with whom he came within an eyelash of winning a gold medal against Team Canada in Vancouver.
Tim Thomas was the goalie to allow that Kennedy score and it was Thomas who had to listen to the boos of fans as he skated off the ice, past the Bruins bench and down the hallway to take out his frustration on the cement walls on either side with his goalie stick which was betraying him on this night.
"I think it is unfortunate," Miller said of the boos Thomas received. "It has been a tough season and fans in this town are tough. It's the same as it is in Buffalo. We have had some tough seasons and I have left the ice under duress a few times. It is part of being a goaltender. You are not always going to have things go your way. You have to hang with it and be a good teammate. I know Timmy is doing the right stuff. He is a battler and it is just not going the way he wants it to right now."
It was the sixth time this season and the sixth time in 28 starts that Thomas has been replaced in the middle of a game, which is one of the loneliest feelings any athlete in any sport can experience.
"You don't like to see it," Miller added. "We are competitive to a certain degree. I know he is a little frustrated but I don't know if there was a whole lot he could do on at least two of those goals. I think if you asked him about the second one he would want to control the rebound differently."
The first goal Thomas allowed – by Tyler Myers – was through a heavy screen, and he didn't see the puck until it changed direction through Dennis Wideman and went past him for the tying goal. The second goal was the result of a bad rebound that Wideman failed to clear, which was picked up by Paul Gaustad and backhanded past Thomas to give the Sabres the lead for good.
"Again I think that was Tyler making a hard shot cross body. Tyler has a hard shot; he's a big kid. Knocking down one of his wrist shots is all about you can do."
The last straw came at 6:08 of the second when Tim Kennedy collected a loose puck to the left of Thomas and flicked it toward the net. Thomas appeared to get fooled by the lack of strength behind the shot, overplayed it and allowed it to flutter past him for a 3-1 Sabres lead.
Second period summary: Bruins vs. Sabres | 03.29.10 at 8:42 pm ET |
One game after recording his fifth shutout of the season and his 17th career, Tim Thomas was pulled after allowing his third goal on just 14 shots. It was the sixth time this season he has been lifted from a game.
The off night for Thomas has put the Bruins in a 3-1 hole after two periods.
Thomas allowed a soft wrister from Tim Kennedy at 6:08 and he came off the ice, made his way down the tunnel, swinging his goalie stick in frustration. He remained away from the bench for about five minutes before returning.
In fairness to Thomas, he was again let down by his defense who had trouble clearing bodies. Tuukka Rask was tested late in the period as breakdowns continued to thwart the B's.
Jason Pominville had a short-handed breakaway with just 63 seconds left in the second period as the Bruins, desperate for some energy from their power play, pinched early and left Pominville alone in the neutral zone.
Boos rained down on the Bruins, who will begin the final period with 13 seconds of power play.
Each team had 14 shots on net in the second, with Boston holding a 28-25 advantage after 40 minutes.
First period summary: Bruins vs. Sabres | at 7:48 pm ET |
A good start but rough finished has left the Bruins trailing the Sabres, 2-1, after 20 minutes at TD Garden.
The Bruins were buzzing around Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller for the first 10 minutes, resulting in several quality chances, a penalty shot and eventually rewarded with a pretty goal from David Krejci at 7:43.
Moments earlier, Marco Sturm broke in on a quick rush and was hooked from behind by Craig Rivet. Sturm was awarded a penalty shot but his shot – a routine backhander – was stopped easily by Miller.
Following the Krejci goal, a switch seemed to go on for the Sabres as they applied pressure on Thomas and controlled the final half of the period. Tyler Myers threw a soft shot from the right point through a heavy screen in front of Thomas to tie the game two minutes after the Krejci goal.
Then Paul Gaustad gave the Sabres the lead with a backhander that seemed to fool Thomas and put Buffalo up, 2-1, just 80 seconds later.
Boston outshot the Sabres, 14-11, in the period.
Thomas: Easy does it | 03.27.10 at 9:15 pm ET |
Everyone in Bruins black and gold knew Tim Thomas hadn't played much in the last two weeks.
And, after watching video, every Bruin knew what the Calgary Flames wanted to do on Saturday. The Flames figured if they could crash the net they could eventually get to – and frustrate – the Bruins goalie.
So when push came to shove on Saturday, the Bruins and Thomas were ready.
Thomas stopped all 31 shots he faced in leading the Bruins to a 5-0 cakewalk over the Flames at TD Garden.
"Timmy hasn't played in a while and obviously, he is a very competitive guy and it's great to see him out come here and play a good game for us," said Mark Recchi, one of five different goal-scorers for Boston on Saturday.
"It's nice when you have two goaltenders you can really count on and Timmy has been here for a number of years and has done a great job and it was great to see him. Tuukka [Rask] carried the load for a little bit and did a wonderful and it's nice when you pull him and don't miss a beat because Timmy does a great job."
Thomas had started in goal exactly once in the last eight games, losing a 3-2 decision to New Jersey on March 15.
"That was like my fifth full game in like seven weeks," Thomas said of Saturday's return to action. "I played periods, but not [a full game]. So I didn't really know what to expect, but the team came out strong in front of me. They did a really good job of making me feel comfortable and that helped a lot."
And when the Flames took a pair of goalie interference calls in the second period, Thomas and the Bruins were ready.
"Well that's what they do," Thomas said. "We actually saw that in the video before the game. That's what they do so you're prepared for it. I'm just not going to change the way that I play. That's the worst thing you can do, because they'll get goals off of it, if you change the way that you play. You have to put yourself in vulnerable positions sometimes and that's what kind of happened on that one play."
Thanks to the win, the Bruins tied Philadelphia with 80 in seventh place in the East while dropping Calgary further into a ninth-place hole behind Detroit in the West.
"They were behind the eight ball more than us," Thomas said. "At this point we were sitting in the playoff spot before this game. So really, especially after that last they had against the Islanders, we knew that they must really be feeling the pressure. Part of our game plan was to be the relaxed team, be the team that relaxes and plays and has fun and hopefully good things come of it, and it worked."
Second period summary: Bruins vs. Flames | at 2:39 pm ET |
Apparently, the Bruins wanted to show Marc Savard they can score on the man advantage – even with their best power play weapon out with a serious concussion.
Savard said before the game he wished he could help them on the power play and general manager Peter Chiarelli smiled a painful smile in agreement since the Bruins entered play Saturday mired in a hideous 0-for-22 slump.
Well, after Dennis Seidenberg finally found the net in the first period, the Bruins doubled their pleasure in the second to take a 3-0 lead heading into the second intermission.
David Krejci fired a rocket from the low left point 89 seconds into the period to make it 2-0 and Zdeno Chara scored on the man advantage from the high slot at 6:15 and all of sudden the Bruins were 3-for-3 on the PP.
They had a chance to make it 4-for-4 toward the end of the period but had to settle for a hat trick. And settle they did with a smile of satisfaction heading to the dressing room.
The Flames are outshooting the Bruins, 23-22, but Tim Thomas has been perfect so far.

Our original plan was to test the iStorage Pro iT8SAE with the new LSI MegaRAID 9280-8E SATA/SAS controller, but ran into an issue where the iT8SAE would not link with the controller. Since the 9280-8E is a new controller that runs native SAS 6 Gbps we thought it was a compatibility issue. After talking to both LSI, iStorage Pro and Areca we learned that this combination had yet to be tested and approved. Areca quickly volunteered one of their ARC-1680X controllers, a model that has been validated in the iStorage Pro and Areca's own test lab.
With the Areca controller in hand two days later, it was time to get back to work and get this system up and running in our lab. It became clear that the problem had little to do with the controller and we rushed out to get a new cable hoping that the main unit wasn't defective. The cable provided to us by iStorage Pro ended up being defective.
With the Areca ARC-1680X card on hand and the benchmarks already ran, we moved to the next step and started to review it.

I am interested in a stark double delicious apple tree. It has golden delicious and red delicious on one root stock. Has anyone had exsperience with multi grafted apple trees? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a 4-in-1 apple (anna, golden dorsett, gordon, and fuji) and the tree is not equally vigorous. Anna and golden dorsett grow way faster than the other two. Tbh the other two trees leafed out about 4 months after anna and golden dorsett. Red delicious variety is not a great apple imo. There are far better tasting apples out there. If you are trying to get a 2-in-1 apple simply because of space, I would instead do a multiple planting check out dave wilson nursery youtube page on multiple planting and pruning trees for a backyard orchard. |
It is not due to space. Just wanted to try out a double grafted apple. I will look into other varietys. I am new to growing fruit trees i have a peach and pear tree. I will look into different varietys of apples. Thanks for the info |
Ryan, My first apple tree was a 3 in 1 (Golden Delicious, Melrose and Summerred). I knew nothing about growing fruit tree then. I let it grow and found out after a few years that GD was a lot more vigorous than the other two. The graft took over resulting in the tree being lopesided. The other two did not do well. Things you need to know is how vigorous each graft is and how to prune each to keep the tree balanced. Knowing its rootstock is helpful, too. I would not mind having a multi-grafted tree now but not when I knew nothing about it. I personally do not like close planting the way Dave Wilson suggests. This topic has been discussed over and over. There are proponents and opponents to it. If you search this forum, you'll learn a lot more about it and many other things concerning growing fruit trees. This forum is really helpful to me and contributors are great. |

20 best: Goth records ever made
- A timely reappraisal of that most unfairly maligned of genres, starring Bauhaus and more
2 Nov 2010 -
Words: Kiran Sande
It's June, 1999, or thereabouts. I'm sixteen years of age. I'm in a nightclub for the first, perhaps second time in my life. The nightclub is called Spiders, and it's located on the edge of an industrial estate in Hull. The air as my friends and I queue up outside is foul with burnt cocoa fumes wafting from a neighbouring factory. The smell inside the club is worse.
Being 16, I can barely believe my luck when I'm granted entry. It would be some time before I realised that Spiders wasn't merely accepting of minors' custom, but wholly reliant upon it. I try to get my bearings. Spiders is dark. I mean really dark. To this day I've never been to a club that dark; I'm not sure how much it had to do with creating an ambience and how much to do with the owners' unwillingness to fork out on electricity. After some deliberation I buy myself a Green Monster – an in-house "cocktail", served in a pint glass – and relax. The music emanating from the dancefloor is some unremarkable Britpop hit or other.
I look at the wall. And then I realise the wall is looking back at me. In fact, the wall is moving. It dawns on me that there are six or seven people leaning against the wall, clad all in black, maintaining a monkish silence, looking distant and more than a little bit tortured. The unremarkable Britpop tune comes to an end, and there's a brief pause while the DJ fumbles with the controls. Then a new song begins. The song is Sisters of Mercy's 'Alice'.
Activated as if by remote control, the sextet of black-clad folk who I've mistaken for a wall troop off in the direction of the music, still not uttering a single word to each other. I follow them at a short distance. When I reach the dancefloor they're there…dancing. Well, I say dancing; more accurately they're stomping, or sluggishly waving their torsos without moving their feet, or holding their heads in their hands as if in a rapture of pain, or pleasure, or both. It's like some kind of demented exercise video. Other groups of similarly attired characters arrive at the dancefloor at the same time, and a few of them exchange words, dance together, get off with each other. Then 'Alice' stops, and every single one of them returns to the corner of the club they came from, to continue their necking or simply resume brooding in silence.
These characters, you will have gathered, are the Goths.
I'd seen plenty of goths before – they're an enduring fixture of suburban life – but until this point I'd never witnessed them in their element. It wasn't pretty, witnessing them in their element, but it was kind of endearing. I'd seen the same folks in daylight, dressed the same way, at bus-stops around town, hoping that their bus arrived before the next torrent of abuse from some lad in a tracksuit. Invariably misfits with low self-esteem, there was undeniable courage in their commitment to the gloomy cause.
That was 1999, and this is 2010. Not a great deal has changed in the interim. To most people goth still represents the epitome of uncool and artistic worthlessness, goths still get beaten shitless at bus-stops, Spiders still sells luminous vodka cocktails to children. But it wasn't always this way. In the years '79-'87, when goth was still just a moody outgrowth of post-punk and not yet an indiscriminating global sub-culture and consolation for the socially excluded, it yielded some of the most ambitious and affecting music ever-made.
I'm not a goth, nor was I meant to be. I wasn't there in '79-'87. I didn't live through it. So what follows is an idealised portrait of goth in its infancy. It's highly selective and at times insensitive. I've ignored goth acts who were popular and important to the scene's development on the grounds that I simply don't like their music – so no Fields Of The Nephilim, no Mission, no Danielle Dax, etc. I've privileged those records that are sonically compelling: as much as goth was about excess, the shadow of Martin Hannett looms heavy over its best records, with minimalist arrangements and cavernous production the going rate. A few of the releases I've highlighted could just as easily have found their way into a 20 best industrial, synth-pop, post-punk or minimal wave.
So what, you may ask, do I even mean by "goth"? For the purpose of this list, at least, goth is unfashionable credulousness, sincerity and lack of cynicism. An appeal to higher forces, the dignifying of small emotions with grand imagery. Goth is a return to the poetic; the real post-punk romanticism. But perhaps more than anything…It's all about the drums. The drums always sound amazing.
Forget the idiots in Camden still caning Sisters CDs and dressing for Columbine. Forget the emo and metal kids who've inherited goth's angst but none of its class. The stylish, experimental, theatrical founding spirit of goth is alive and well elsewhere: in the windswept murder ballads of Zola Jesus, the thumping electronic pop of White Car and Frank (Not Frank), in the decaying electronics of Raime and Leyland Kirby, the kohl-eyed darkwave of Cold Cave. Don't fear the reaper.
Bauhaus embody the escapist, self-dramatizing spirit of goth. Hailing from none-more-bland Northampton and led by rake-thin and androgynously handsome Peter Murphy, the band's persona erred on the side of pantomime, but their decision to break away from the spartan realist image of punk and its immediate offspring now seems nothing if not bold. Like their hero Bowie, Bauhaus understood the importance of fantasy, and how that's bound up in the visual: from sleeve art to clothing, make-up to stage lighting. Back when they were first trying to get signed, they issued a video rather than an audio tape to record companies.
Over the course of the four albums that they cut between '80 and '83, the musical identity of Bauhaus was stretched in several different directions by its members (sometimes literally: see 1981′s puckish four-part composition '1. David Jay 2. Peter Murphy 3. Kevin Haskins 4. Daniel Ash'). There was no such confusion or conflict on their sleek, self-possessed debut single: referencing the Hungarian actor best known for playing the titular Count in Tod Browning's 1931 Dracula, 'Bela' clocked in at an exquisitely arrogant 9 minutes – goodbye to punk's loaded brevity – and could have justifiably gone on even longer. The loping intro is particularly inspired, ramping up the suspense to an unbearable level as reverbed ghost train FX shudder in and around Kevin Haskins' bone-dry drums, David J"s descending bassline striated with Daniel Ash's malevolent swipes of guitar. When Murphy's campy, crudely overdubbed vocal arrives some two minutes in, you know you're dealing with one of the all-time great pop singles. "Undead undead UNDEAD!"
When Steve Coogan's shellshocked Tony Wilson arrives to visit the body of the recently expired Ian Curtis in Michael Winterbottom's 24 Hour Party People, he's button-holed in the chapel's carpark by a shock-haired, mascara'd and flower-bearing couple who wish to convey how much Curtis meant to them, how he won't be forgotten. The message is clear, and undeniable: Joy Division begat goth.
Far more substantial and less theatrical than Bauhaus, Joy Division dealt, as you all know, in those themes of existential dread, unresolved love and mortification that would form the backbone of goth mythology. Curtis's tragic suicide simply sealed the deal: here was a troubled young man whose deathwish was real, not just a parent-bating pose. Moving away from the Ballardian future-shock of Unknown Pleasures, his band charted the sepulchral sublime on their second, final studio album, Closer. The image on the cover – a photograph by Bernard Pierre Wolff of a family tomb in Genoa – makes Curtis's shift into neo-classical morbidity explicit. The lyrics are correspondingly ur-goth, preoccupied with religion, being and the passage of time. Death, death, death.
No less important to goth was Joy Division's music itself: not just Curtis's disconsolate croon, but the high-necked, melody-carrying basslines of Peter Hook, the chicken-scratch guitar of Bernard Sumner, the funereal, oxygen-deprived drums of Stephen Morris. And, most of all, the thing that bound these element together and made them sound as they do: Martin Hannett's chilly, cavernous production, and subtle, painterly use of synthesizers. This is the sonic template for all the finest post-punk goth records, before the testosterone-fuelled excesses of "gothic rock" took hold.
Following the bittersweet jangle-pop of their debut album, The Cure began to show their true, dark colours on 1980′s Seventeen Seconds. But even that gloomy outing had a new wave airiness and thrust to it; its lead single, 'A Forest', positively galloped, its whooshing synths, chiming guitars, desert-dry snare cracks and post-Hooky basslines all locked in kinetic, pistoning alignment. This lingering sense of urgency all but vanished on Faith (1981), the music slowing to the pace of listless suburban life that birthed it.
Rarely, if ever, has music sounded so world-weary. 'All Cats Are Grey' is a tactile masterpiece, its sighing keyboard textures and vocal harmonies circumscribed by impossibly funkless drum shots, but also notable is the minor-key chug of 'Other Voices', the ceremonial drift of 'Funeral Party' and the Gormenghast-inspired 'The Drowning Man'. The songwriting is superb throughout, the lyrics' self-pity dignified by the palpable anger of their delivery.
1982′s Pornography went even more goth, but by then the boldly minimalist approach that made Faith's despondency resonate had been jettisoned in favour of a more demonstrative and unrefined rock sound.
"If you study modern groups, those who gain press coverage and chart action, none of them are as good as Siouxsie and the Banshees at full pelt. That's not dusty nostalgia, that's fact." So quoth Morrissey in 1994. The man talks a lot of nonsense ("sub-species", anyone?) but it's difficult to argue with this particular judgement.
Born of the '77-'78 punk explosion, the Banshees recorded three terrific albums – The Scream, Join Hands and Kaleidoscope - before forging their most riveting work, 1981′s Juju. Having already provided the fashion lead for a million goth girls (and a fair few boys to boot), here Siouxsie wheeled out the misanthropic lyrics to match, managing to be elliptical and introspective without compromising on sheer dynamism. Has any song summed up goth's ghoulish disposition as piquantly as 'Halloween'? "The carefree days are distant now / I wear my memories like a shroud / I try to speak but words collapse…"
Budgie's tom-tom-heavy drumming and Steve Severin's frigid bass work are as compelling as ever, but special mention must go to the choppy, mercurial contribution of journeyman guitarist John McGeogh, who played with Magazine and Visage prior to joining the Banshees and later with Public Image Limited. On Juju he deploys a huge array of string techniques and distortion effects to wring every last globule of sonic potential from his instrument, and all within the tight minimalist grid delineated by Budgie and Severin. The band honed the songs in live performances before going into the studio, and it shows in the fearsome, fat-free recording.
Now a fully paid-up member of the dadrock establishment, it takes some effort to remember what a wild-eyed outsider Nick Cave once was. His smack and speed-addled band, The Birthday Party, drew upon schlocky Stateside pop culture, the hostile landscapes of their native Australia and a jumble of repurposed religious imagery to produce some of goth's most lurid and unhinged music.
'Release The Bats' finds them at their most psychotic: a car-smash of ear-splitting, mercilessly trebly guitars, swamp-trawling drums and Cave's yowling vocal – some distance from the ominous baritone with which he's now indelibly associated. The title itself is a neat goth clarion call, but the scene is better encapsulated by its lyrical refrain: "Sex horror sex bat sex sex horror sex vampire sex bat horror vampire sex."
Cave continued to explore gothic themes throughout his career, absorbing more and more influence from Johnny Cash and the old bluesmen (the original goths, perhaps), gradually shedding his more erratic, atonal tendencies for a brand of macabre balladry that would reach its creative and commercial zenith in the 1990s.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Molly!
Facts about Molly
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Molly's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Molly was abandoned on our property, and cannot understand why. She is the sweetest, friendliest girl and very affectionate. A very calm girl who just wants love. Molly is small for her age, which makes her even more adorable. We estimate her birthday in March 2012.
Other Pets at Lafayette Animal Aid
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Molly, a Carencro Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Carencro, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Carencro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Carencro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Carencro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Carencro paves the way for another one to be saved.

Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary (also known as Vembanad Bird Sanctuary) is situated at Kumarakom in Kottayam district in the Indian state of Kerala, on the banks of Vembanad Lake.[1] Set in the Kerala Backwaters the bird sanctuary is an ornithologist's paradise and a favourite haunt of migratory birds.[2]
Developed in a rubber plantation as a bird sanctuary by an Englishman, the sanctuary was formerly known as Baker's Estate.[3]
The sanctuary is spread over 14 acres (57,000 m2)[3] on the southern bank of the Kavanar River.[4] It has well laid out paths for moving around within the sanctuary. Beyond the sanctuary one can take a boat ride in Vembanad Lake or along the Kavanar River.
Kumarakom is 14 km (8.7 mi) from Kottayam. State Highway No. 1 leads to Kochi and Thiruvanthapuram in opposite directions. Kochi International Airport at Nedumbassery is 106 km (66 mi) from Kumarakom.[5]
Neighbouring areas such as Kaipuzha Muttu, Pathirmanal, Narakathara, Thollairam Kayal, and Poothanpandi Kayal are also good locations for spotting birds.[3]
Kerala has a tropical climate.
The main attractions are local birds like the waterfowl, cuckoo, owl, egret, heron, cormorant, moorhen, darter, Brahminy kite and the duck, as well as the migratory Siberian crane. Parrot, teal, lark, flycatcher, and other birds are seen here during their respective migratory seasons. Some of the migratory birds come from the Himalayas, and a few from far away Siberia.[3][6]
Dawn is the ideal time for bird watching when the birds prepare to leave their forest homes and fly over the lake. An early morning trek, well before sunrise, is recommended for avid bird watchers. There are a lots of tortoises but unfortunately the authority don't share this information with the tourist since the authority is not aware of this.Unfortunately some villagers are hunting those tortoises.
Bird watching[edit]
The WWF-India organised a two-day bird watching programme in 2008 at Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary in connection with World Wetlands Day.[7] Kerala Tourism Development Corporation, which owns the largest chain of hotels in Kerala, including a resort at Kumarakom, has plans to introduce guided bird watching trails and to open an interpretation centre.[2]
There is a driftwood museum at Chakranpadi, Pathiramanal approachable by boat,[3] and imaginary Ayemenem of Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things is set in the area.[8][9]

Top Storylines
On a roll
After Inbee Park's third-career major championship victory at the Wegmans LPGA Championship two weeks ago, it was made very clear that the 24-year old South Korean has officially taken the LPGA Tour by storm.
After her win, Park said 'it was a miracle' that she won and was lucky to have been forced into a playoff with Catriona Matthew after a 3-over 75 in the final round. Park would eventually beat Matthew on the third playoff hole, but even on a day where she didn't perform her best, the No. 1 ranked player in the world has the game to beat the best on Tour. The victory in Rochester, NY marked her fourth win of the 2013 season and sixth in the past 22 starts dating back to the 2012 Evian Masters. She's taken a tighter grip on the No. 1 spot in the Rolex Rankings and shows no signs of letting go. Park extended her lead to 2.62 average points over Stacy Lewis, the largest margin since she took over the top spot on April 15 earlier this year.
She has already crossed the $1 million mark in season earnings as the Tour's schedule hits the halfway point this week in Arkansas. To put things in perspective on just how good Park has been in the past 12 months, she's made $3,328,763 which is more than half of her career earnings ($6,489,551) in her seven-year stint on Tour. It'd be no surprise to anyone to see Park in contention this week as she prepares for the next week's U.S. Women's Open. Park will be seeking her third major win this season and hopes to become only the second player in LPGA history to win the first three majors on the schedule. Babe Zaharias won three in a row in 1950, a year when the Tour had three designated majors.
Ai defends again
Rolex Rankings No. 10 Ai Miyazato returns to Rogers, Ark., seeking to defend her second title she earned last year. The Okinawa, Japan native notched her first win of the 2012 season at the inaugural LOTTE LPGA Championship Presented by J Golf and went on the win the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship Presented by P&G just two months later. It marked her second multi-win season of her eight-year tenure on the LPGA Tour.
A nine-time winner on Tour, Miyazato has distinguished herself as one of the top players in the world. She has continued to prove that this season with a runner-up finish to Stacy Lewis at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup and tied for sixth in Hawaii earlier this year. With top-20 finishes in the last three events, Miyazato hopes to get in contention this week for a successful title defense.
Players to watch this week
Rolex Rankings No. 3 Suzann Pettersen is coming in hot this week after notching her fifth top-3 finish in seven events at the Wegmans LPGA Championship. Pettersen, who won her 11th-career victory at the LOTTE LPGA Championship in April, has steadily moved up the Rolex Rankings this season jumping from No. 8 at the beginning of the year to No. 3 after a tie for third at the season's second major. She is closing in on No. 2 Stacy Lewis and has narrowed the gap to just .31 in points average.
Morgan Pressel also made a statement earlier this month in Pittsford, N.Y. when she was leading the field heading into the final round but couldn't stave off a Sunday surge from South Korea's Inbee Park and Catriona Matthew. She finished in a tie for third along with Pettersen. Since her latest win at the 2008 Kapalua LPGA Classic, Pressel has tallied 22 top-10 finishes including four runner-ups. With a solid finish last week there's no question she'll be on the radar this week.
Let's go Hogs!
University of Arkansas alum Stacy Lewis will be a fan-favorite this week as she returns to Hog country. The former Razorback made a name for herself during college as she won 12 collegiate events and was a four-time All-American. She has carried that success to the LPGA Tour has she now has seven victories and a Rolex Player of the Year award to her name. She comes to Arkansas this week with two victories so far this season at the HSBC Women's Champions and the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup. With her return to Arkansas this week, the "Calling of the Hogs" chant on the 17th green will be sure to give her the momentum she needs to get back in the winner's circle.
Rogers gets Rowdy!
This year's Walmart NW Arkansas LPGA Championship Presented by P&G will feature a revamped 17th green that will make the crowds in Rogers, Ark. go wild. With "stadium-style" grandstands surrounding the shortened par-3, spectators will be able to interact with their LPGA Tour favorites and cheer them on for some fascinating finishes on the "loudest hole in golf."

Symetra Tour current player and alum factoids
While the Symetra Tour gears-up for its second tournament in a three week stretch at the Four Winds Invitational, the LPGA is preparing to Call the Hogs at this week's Walmart NW Arkansas Championship Presented by P&G.
Leading the pack of Symetra Tour alums scheduled to compete this week is Road to the LPGA graduate Inbee Park who claimed her seventh career LPGA Tour victory and third major title at the recent Wegmans LPGA Championship. The South Korea native fired rounds of 72-68-68-75 and prevailed in a three-hole sudden death playoff with Catriona Matthew.
Park began her professional golf career on the Symetra Tour in 2006 where she recorded 11 top-10 finishes including runner-up at the CIGNA Chip in For A Cure FUTURES Golf Classic. Park's standout year landed her third on the season-ending Volvik Race for the Card standings earning her exempt status for the 2007 LPGA season.
Another Symetra Tour alum who posted a solid finish at the Wegmans LPGA Championship is Chella Choi. The South Korean claimed the first-round lead then found herself near the top of the leaderboard throughout the major championship where she finished the event tied for fifth.
Choi competed on the Road to the LPGA in 2008 where she played in 17 events and recorded four top-10 finishes including a tie for second at the Bright House Networks Open.
The current standings in the Volvik Race for the Card are as follows (the top-10 on the season-ending money list earn their LPGA Tour card) 1. Sue Kim of Langley, British Columbia, $31,916; 2.

Isabelle Boineau of Marseille, France, $13,188

Ok. So the nursery guy isn't exactly a bamboo expert but I liked what I saw and the price was good. Both bamboos were simply marked multiplex bamboo. And i have my suspicions But in reality these could even be some kind of philostachus for all I know. So I would love to hear your thoughts, of course.
After looking around on the web, I think this guy is an Alphonse Karr. The colors on the culms look like it to me. But the leaves look pretty large, and the old cut culm you can see is nearly two inches wide! Seems a little big for old uncle Al. I know there's loads of stuff that looks like Karr but is quite different. What do you think? And here is the other one which I suspect is a common green hedge bamboo. It has much smaller leaves than the other And it's shooting, which is exciting. I would love to hear your guesses and expert opinions alike. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
There actually aren't that many bamboo that look like Alphonse Karr, and your photos look just like my A. Karr. I agree that the stub of an old culm is a little large in diameter for A. Karr, but I'm still putting my money on that. Take a look at the pictures in the link below, and compare it to what you have. The second one is harder because young plants are harder to identify, because it looks like a lot of other green bamboos, and the photos don't give a lot of detail. If you have a picture of an emerging culm, it might help. Also consider posting on bambooweb.info where there are more bamboo experts. |
Here is a link that might be useful: A. Karr pix
Thanks kudzu. And when I get a minute I'll run out and snap a picture of that shoot. In the meantime I'm looking at the link you posted and I'm happy with what I'm seeing. |
aloyzius- That is a better picture. After seeing it, the other suggestion I have is to look closely at how the green stripes end up at the nodes. Bambusa vulgaris 'Vittata' -- also known as "Painted bamboo" -- has distinctive green striping that looks like it was painted on. Take a look at some of the closeups of the culms in the link below and tell me what you think. Vittata also has large diameter culms when it is mature. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Vittata
I see what you mean. And mine is pretty different, I think we can rule that out. Here's a blurry shot of the node. |
aloyzius- Just heard from a friend of mine whose opinion I respect in these things and here is what he had to say after looking at your photos: "I'm pretty sure that the yellow one is as you mentioned B. vulgaris 'Vittata' and I also think his second bamboo is Bambusa ventricosa. I became pretty familiar with both of these species in Hawai'i." |
That is so cool. Thank you so much. |
I did some reading on those varieties, and poked around the botanical gardens, and those things are huge. Definitely not the listed hedge bamboo size. I guess I better move them further from the fence, and purchase a sawzall. |
As an update, a month later, it looks like kudzu and his buddy are right on. The ventricosa has sent up one shoot and now it is all zig zaggy which is exactly what one would expect to see. It is a drag they will both require significantly more space than they were given. The vitata has not sent up any shoots but the more research I do, the more convinced I am. I will dig them up in the winter when the timing is better. |

Football Loses its Balls
Hannah Page
Twenty-nine years after becoming co-ed, Columbia is finally taking the next step on its path to gender equality. President Lee Bollinger announced Monday that the Lions football team would adopt the same open policy as housing, including both males and females starting next year.
Under a barrage of questions from faculty and alumni about the safety and legality of such a move, PrezBo explained that new head football coach Pete Mangurian has spent hours developing a series of handicaps that will guarantee the safety of all members of the team and create an environment in which everyone can excel. "The rules are meant to make up for physiological differences that could hamper the weak-...uh, newer members of our team," Mangurian said on Monday. "I think these addenda to the rulebook are more or less intuitive and it shouldn't take long before they are approved." See proposed new rules below:
1. After the snap, the team with the ball will be given a one minute head start before the defense can move, with one additional minute added for every cup size beyond an A that the quarterback's breasts are (this applies to quarterbacks of both genders).
2. Female players will be permitted to wear high heels on the field provided that they're those funky tennis-shoe-stiletto hybrids; furthermore, they will be allowed to stab other players with their heels in order to avoid being tackled.
3. Female players will have a breakaway flap in the front of their uniforms so as to be able to distract male players with the sight of their breasts when attempting to draw attention from a teammate who has the ball.
4. Male players will no longer be permitted to wear jockstraps.
Women on campus are hesitant about the new policy. The group the Columbia University Neo-Feminist Team released a statement questioning what this kind of separate but equal treatment might mean for gender politics on campus. They predict a rise in domestic violence and a serious shift in the Saturday night dynamic at Cannon's.

I used a wedding invitation for this project as well as creating another sentiment pendant with the glass domes in bezels also by Nunn Design! Sprinkle a few other charms and Swarvoski Crystals and you will be on your way to Romantic Memories. n this project I will be making a pendant using the Glass Domes and Bezels, for a quick how to watch:

Unscrew the top of Keepsake Pendant and measure the paper accordingly to the height of the pendant make adjustments as needed. I wound my image around a pencil to help me slip it inside the bottle. You may also fill the vial with Swarovski Crystals, it takes just a few less than (100) 4mm bicones as in the Blushing Pink mix as pictured!
Create your bezel pendant using an image, scrap booking paper or collage shee, as demonstrated in the video. I used a scrap booking paper that says "I Love You" in script
Unscrew the top of the pendant and cut a measure the paper to fit within the vial. I wrapped my paper around a pencil to coil it to get it into the vial. You may also want to use some tweezers to help. Once you are satisfied with the position of the paper, replace the lid.
Prepare all other components for assembly, by dropping (9) 4mm bicones onto antique brass head pins creating a rosary loop for each.
Attach the round half of the toggle to the end of the chain with a jump ring or by opening the link of chain.
Two inches from the other end of the chain, add the bar of the toggle, by opening the link of the chain, thus leaving 2"of chain dangling from the bottom.
Add the Keepsake pendant to the free end of chain with a jump ring.
Add the Bezel Pendant to the 5th link of chain or 1" above the keepsake pendant with a jump ring.
Add the flowering vine drop to the 3rd link of chain or 1/2" above the bezel pendant with a jump ring.
Add the leaf connector to the 3rd link of chain or 1/2" above the flowering vine drop with a jump ring.
Add three of the bicone drops to the jump rings of the Bezel Pendant, Vine Drop and Leaf Connector (on the bottom link).
Remember you can fill the Keepsake Pendant with all sorts of things, feathers, notes, Swarovski Crystals, Sand, Shells...in thing your heart desires! Enjoy!
