Colloquia Schedule Spring 2015
Colloquia are on Tuesdays (unless otherwise indicated) at 3:30 pm in RLM 15.216B
Tinsley Visiting Scholar: Planetary Group
"Habitability of Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs"
Current and future exoplanet surveys favor the discovery of
potentially habitable planets around M dwarfs, which can then be
spectroscopically characterized by JWST. This observation is so
challenging that only ~1 planet is likely to be measured during the
mission lifetime. Thus, prioritizing M dwarf planets for follow-up is
a crucial step toward the discovery of an inhabited
exoplanet. Identifying habitable planets begins with locating the
planet's orbit relative to its star's "habitable zone." However, the
habitable zone is only a zeroth order approximation for planetary
habitability, i.e rocky worlds with liquid surface water. Many
phenomena impact the stability and longevity of surface water,
including processes that are negligible on Earth. M dwarfs can cool
significantly during their first gigayear, which can strip giant
planet atmospheres to reveal a rocky core, or can permanently
desiccate terrestrial exoplanets. Tidal torques can circularize
orbits, damp obliquities, and lock rotation periods at relatively
large values. Tidal heating can be significant, even driving a runaway
greenhouse independent of stellar radiation. In more modest cases,
tidal heating can significantly alter the thermal cooling of the
interior and suppress magnetic field generation, especially in
multiplanet systems. Careful modeling of these phenomena can determine
the best candidate(s) for transit transmission spectroscopy.

Discussion in 'Disney Cruise Line Forum' started by minnieandmickey, Jul 29, 2012.
Oh, didn't see that. Thanks.
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
I love my travel agent -- been using them for years (but not Dreams though). I can't post them here, however. I email her ahead of time and tell them our general itinerary wish list and room type and I just love the fact that on opening day THEY spend the time on the phone and just email me my room and rates and I'm all set
Well, first week of October gone and no openings this week
In looking at the Grand Cayman port schedule for July 2014, the Fantasy is in port the week I want for the Western Caribbean. Maybe my plan will all come together!
Isn't it time for 2014 schedules soon? Or am I asking too early?
It seems, based on recent communication from TAs to clients, that anytime now would be a good bet. I'd guess next week or the week after.
Once again - when referring to a TA that one uses, PLEASE use the full url of the website. Do not try and be creative in the spelling of the website or give ways of finding the TA on the internet if you know the TA is not allowed to be mentioned on DIS, infractions will be given and posts deleted.
If you post the url of a website and the website comes up as *********** then the website is not allowed to be mentioned on DIS.
The same rules apply for posts on the the boards and when giving info in a PM.
If there are any questions about this please refer to the DIS board guidelines that everyone agreed to when signing up on DIS!
Does anyone know where i can find the port schedule for 2014 for the dream in the bahamas? I tried goggling it but had no luck.
The port is Nassau, but I doubt there will be much change in the Dream's itineraries, other than some possible 5-night double dips.
So a PM is not really private? Someone other than the sender and receiver reads PMs?
My boyfriend (now fiancé) proposed to me last week on the Wonder and we're currently planning our wedding on the Dream for 2014. These dates can't be announced soon enough!
Does anyone know if it's too late for us to contact DCL about doing a double dip cruise? He just let me know that he wants to take a honeymoon -- the cruise right after our wedding!
We just booked our placeholder last week, but we're obviously not on the ship anymore. Do we have to wait until our next cruise in February to book the second leg of our cruise with the onboard booking offers or is there something DCL can do for us now?
Do you possibly mean a B2B (back to back). A double dip is when the ship makes two stops at Castaway Cay on the same cruise. A B2B is two cruises back to back.
Booking offers are only good when you are on the ship. Unfortunately, your second cruise would be at the regular rate. But, it never hurts to call DCL and ask.
Yes, I did mean a B2B -- I'm such a rookie with the terminology! That's the answer that I'd feared, but we'll be cruising again in February so I'll just book it then.
Thanks for the reply!
The reservations system is gonna be down on Monday! Maybe that's good news!
The DVC reservation site and Member Services is going down the same time, so I would guess this is a system wide update.
I received a TA communication that the reservation system for WDW and DLR will be down Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon, so it looks like a general systemwide maintenance.
Awww, got excited for nothing. Oh well! It'll be soon
how often can you move a dummy book? say I booked a 2013, can I move it to a 2014, then to a 2015?
You sure can! No limits, just be sure to move it prior to the dummy date's final payment due date. If you forget, that reservation will be cancelled and you lose your deposit. This just happened to my SIL. She completely forgot and now it's too late. Luckily, I guess, she only had herself on the reservation, not her whole family of 4 or the deposit would have been much higher.
Little off topic...can you reserve a cabin with just one name? We need a 5 person veranda room prefer 8th deck. Can I book this just for me. Money is tight and I would really like wiggle room.
Yes, but as the ship fills, so does the lifeboat space. So even if there's room for five in your cabin, there might not be enough space in your assigned lifeboat, so you will be limited to how many people you can put in your cabin. As the kids' clubs fill, they will restrict the number of kids per age group who can still book the cruise.
Separate names with a comma.

Cabinetmaker Gone! Finally Time to Talk BS!
Finally! We can talk backsplash. I checked and the cabinetmaker's truck, trailer and tools are gone! Five months past the due date, but hey - what's a few months living in a house with a partial kitchen and no cabinets in the master bath?
The cabinets are a blend of stained cherry and paint, counters are walnut and Kashmir Creme. While searching for the granite, I found this Glazzio (formerly Mirage) mosaic in the Flower series. It immediately caught my eye and I have had it for months - just waiting.
My first thought was to do the entire backsplash in the mosaic. Perhaps this is a bit overkill as it is a pretty bold pattern. Though I must say many GWer's have a fantastic BS with bold color and pattern that make me swoon. Thought number #2 is to be safe and pair it with a nice "subway" tile. And, I must admit I have always loved subway tile - long before it came in style - again.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated from the many talented GW members! Thanks so much in advance.
What beautiful cabinets! Love the mixture of walnut and cream. Just gorgeous!
Love the tile that you've picked out!! It will look perfect in your space. I don't think it will be too busy at all. If you look at the picture of the tile in the distance, you can see how soft and subtle it is. If I were you, I'd use the one on the right for the entire BS and use the one on the left (with the darker accents) as a focal point over the cooktop. I think that would look amazing. You've had that tile for months and obviously love it. Don't get scared and play it safe now. It will be GORGEOUS!!! Really looking forward to seeing your finished pics. I think your kitchen is going to be really special.
I'm not sure what to recommend on the tile. I'm a subtle type girl, so I would go subtle... especially with a granite w/ any movement. With that said, both of those tile choices look like they match well.
I wanted to say that the details in your cabinetry are unique, interesting and beautiful. I love what I can see. I am eager to see other views of your space (please?!) :)
Your cabinets are gorgeous! I love the wood accents in the uppers and the beautiful trim. Your counters do look a lot like mine; Kashmir Creme could be the same as Kashmir Gold. I really, really like the tile, both of them. I like the one with the darker center dot best I think UNLESS the dot doesn't match your cabinet color. If it's darker, as it kind of appears, I think it might be too much and I would like the other one better.
Beautiful cabinets!!!
I like the idea of the all-over mosaic and really like, and much prefer, the mosaic with the dark centers. But am afraid it might detract from or fight with the dark accents on the upper cabinets. Maybe Poohpup has a great idea to use the subtler one on the whole wall and the dark-centered one in a feature behind the stove. --Or maybe the pattern will be small enough so it won't compete. You can tell, I'm torn, because I really love the dark centers and white petals, and how the centers go with the specks in the granite. It's also more interesting close up.
How would you propose to use subways with it?
My daughter and I were drooling over that exact tile in the tile store the other day -- I LOVE it! And I think I'd want to do the whole bs with it. The one on the right especially resonates. From a distance, it reads more as texture, while the one on the left reads more as pattern, if that makes any sense. Your kitchen looks beautiful. Can't wait for a full reveal!!
I'm with Poohpup. Up close you can clearly see the dark spots in the granite and the dark accents in the left mosaic are very similar. But from farther away the mosaic spots look much darker, and the lighter mosaic reads more like the granite does.
That tile is lovely!
Gosh, they are both beautiful! I am a sucker for subway tile so I think your idea to use the one on the right with the subway would be great, however, I also love how the one on the left really compliments the tones in your cabinetry! Hard decision. Sorry I am not much help.
I would love to see how you would use the subway with the lighter one. Maybe get some sample tiles and post another picture for us!
I really love your kitchen. I think the wood accents on the creamy cabinets look phenomenal. I think the light centered tile would look great as the whole backsplash. I think the dark centers make the mosaic too busy. From a distance all I see is dark polkadots and my eye pings around. You don't need the dark centers to tie the kitchen together or to reference the dark wood, or the dark spots in the granite. It is perfect- you've already nailed it.
What you've done so far is absolutely beautiful. I feel very strongly that you should do the mosaic on the right for the entire backsplash. You don't need a focal point above the cooktop, as you already have plenty of focal points in your kitchen. The mosaic on the right will harmoniously bring it all together without being boring. Nice job on your kitchen!!!
Your kitchen is already so beautiful, and both these options are gorgeous with your cabs and granite. I prefer the softer blended look of the tile on the right, it is so lovely with the granite and makes a smooth transiton from the painted uppers to the stained lowers.
The left sample is more assertive, demands your attention, but seems to need one more element to tie the uppers and lowers. Have you considered using a narrow pencil tile (if using the left tile) to establish another horizontal in the brown color. That might give you a nice tie with the uppers and lowers.
I also like Poohpup's idea.
Your kitchen is unique and stunning, the mix of the warm cream and cherry is so beautiful! I think the darker dots in the first tile match perfectly. However I would not want this tile with the darker dots everywhere, as Rhome said it would take away from the dark cherry accents on the cream cabinets.
Use the cream subways everywhere with the first darker dot option as the accent behind the stove. Good luck!
I love those samples! I have to say, the light one would be best--it almost reads as a neutral from a distance. I don't think it would be too much at all! The dark circles on the other sample do jump right out at you when you see it. It's a pretty pattern, but defintily makes more of a statement, while the lighter one just reads as a neural and lovely pattern.
Now I need to check out that tile...it might be making an appearance in MY kitchen one day :) (I have that circle/diamond/flower pattern in my original leaded glass in my transom above my front door and I'd like to tie in with it somewhere else in our home...hmmmm....
Like all the others have said both mosaics are beautiful. When I saw the close up picture, I immediately thought the dark one was it but from a distance it does look a bit polka dotty. The light one gives a subtle pattern and more of a textural vibe. Either one will look fantastic in your kitchen. Looks like it was worth the wait for those gorgeous cabinets.
Gorgeous kitchen, and the first thought I had when I saw the distant photo of both tile choices is that the one on the right adds subtle interest and ties everything together. I love the darker one as well, but my eye goes right to the darker center.
The star of your kitchen is your cabinetry and I think the subtler tile will add interest without distracting.
Mother of 3
What a great feeling having the contractors gone, a working kitchen, and a beautiful end result ! Lovely
I'll echo what many have already stated - You have such lovely elements in the kitchen, the tile/s both work... I am having difficulty seeing them in the expanse of the entire bs - I would suggest requesting on a separate thread having someone photoshop them in the space
I think the idea of use of subway and one of your choices above would work better in your setting - it would be quieter and let the stars of the kitchen be... I feel that if you just use either of the above it may risk having the bs as a statement where the eye is drawn just there rather than the expanse of the rest of the beautiful elements
good luck - these choices are hard work!
Motherof3 you have a beautiful and unique kitchen! I really like the tile with the dark dots as it does not look like flowers but appears as a geometric pattern and it fits the feel of your kitchen. It would be nice to have it photohopped to see if it is too much over a large space. I could not imagine subway tile in your kitchen, way too bland and does not match the feel of what you have.
I can't believe I'm saying this, because I'm the "cream subway" person ... but the one on the left.
The countertop is very subdued, the cabinets have just a simple pinstripe of color, and having a full wall of the tiles on the left would look good.
Your cabinets are gorgeous! and that tile is fantastic.
I can't picture pairing them with a subway as the shape is so completely different. My first thought was the darker accent to go along with your dark accents on the uppers, but I agree it might be a bit too much all over (and I love bold backsplashes!) I'm pretty sure the optimal solution is impossible and that'd be doing the one on the right but getting the dark circles and randomly replacing some ;)
What a beautiful tile design! I prefer the monochromatic tile sample on the right. Your bottom cabinets are exquisite and the wood (or is it red?) trim around the windows, etc. on upper cabs are very eye catching. To my eye, the BS sample on the left, with the dark dots, might make it all too busy.
Your gorgeous counter top gives the eye a place to rest. A mono-color back splash will quietly call one's attention without competing with the TDF bottom cabs and the darker accents on the upper cabs. JMHO :-)
the one with the darker dots is really nice. BUT, I think it would look like all dots when you look at it.
The one on the right is gorgeous too. I think it would look really nice everywhere. Your kitchen is really so beautiful. I wouldn't do the subways, be brave, do this tile.
Drewem - the tile is from the Glazzio 'Flower' collection. I found it at a stone and tile shop in Peoria, Illinois.
Cavimum - the lighting is poor and makes the wood appear red. The dentil moulding, trim in glass doors, light rail and lower cabinets are cherry. We chose 'antique cherry' as the stain from Woodrights.
As so many have posted, the tile sample on the left with the emprador dark 'dots' is eye catching and matches the counter and cherry in the cabs. It seems to marry evrything. However, after reading the posts and looking at the more subtle sample it too marries all the components. And the latter lets the stone and cabinetry take center stage.
I better get the printer working to make my mockups.
Your kitchen cabinets are stunning! I really like both tile samples. I am torn between the two. From a distance I agree the dark "dots" seem to really pull things together, but the right one also looks great. I don't think you could go wrong with either.
Love your cabinets - just gorgeous. When I first looked, I loved the one on the left. then thought about the merits of a lower key look, on the right. I would LOVE to see some of that emperador dark worked in since you say it matches so nicely. Would you do an accent panel using the one on the left, then a larger format in the lighter stone as the field tile? If the lighter stone is crema marfil - that will add subtle variation and I think would look great. Good luck and enjoy.
Oh my gosh, I just love it all, the cabinets, the attention to detail, etc. Definitely do one of these tiles over the subways, the are gorgeous and the perfect cherry on top to an already stunning room.
On first instinct I am drawn to the one on the left, but agree that maybe it will be too much when it is all said and done. I would love to see the mockups when you complete them. I don't think there is enough to make a decision with the little samples.

Thank you all for reading and posting. I am truly humbled by the many compliments.
@Deedles - the upper cabinets knobs and all drawers pulls are from the Top Knobs Tuscany collection. We also selected the TK Celtic knot knob for the lower doors, but it did not come in oil-rubbed bronze. So the hunt began for an alternate. I found the other knobs at Lowes and they are every bit as good as the Top Knobs.
I chose to do the painted uppers and stained lowers based on a Woman's Day Kitchen & Bath magazine cover from 2010. I fell in love with the kitchen the moment I laid eyes on it. The uppers in the magazine did not have any stain on the uppers, but I knew I wanted to add cherry. Last year Alabamamommy posted her kitchen and she had the stain trim around the glass. It is a beautiful kitchen with painted cabinets.
And, if you use any of the details from my kitchen it is truly a compliment.
I agree that full backsplash all over with the dark dots might overwhelm things. However, someone posted a finished kitchen a while back - it was a OTK but they used a marble daisy tile for the backsplash. She used it in a 4-5" band everywhere but the stove wall - where she took it full wall. I think that might work beautifully with the dark dot. Especially since your sink window would be the perfect cutoff point for the strip.
Maybe someone will know whose kitchen this is?
kathyNY76 - if it helps OP - that is Mpagmom's kitchen:

I Love You, Honeybear, the sophomore release by Father John Misty, weaves conflicting emotions of disillusionment and passion into a conceptual folk rock mix of airy vocals, guitars, horns, and strings. While Fear Fun consists of lighthearted skepticism, I Love You, Honeybear deals with heavier issues like his relationship with his wife and his own self-faults. "C Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins)" features horns that compliment his somber and wispy voice, and "True Affection" is a synth pop commentary on closeness. "Bored in The USA" confronts the alienation of consumer society to a piano and a purposely out-of-place laugh track. Featuring strings and horns on many songs, the album contrasts the large sound of an orchestra with the intimacy of Tillman's lyrics. I Love You, Honeybear is full of musical and lyrical contradictions that perfectly describe the perplexity of love itself.

Purity Ring – Another Eternity
Purity Ring opens their second album with all the pulsing synth present on their debut. Megan James's gentle vocals yield a happy contrast to the powerful beats, mixing dance anthems with spacey ballads throughout "Another Eternity". "Stillness in woe" and "repetition" are slower tracks that demonstrate Roddick's ability to blend instrumentals perfectly to the tones of James's voice. In conclusion, this sophomore release receives all the right attention with its varied electro-pop songs, but it fails to provide anything new from their first album.

Will Butler – Policy
Recorded in one week in Jimi Hendrix's old Living Room, Policy marks Will Butler's (probably most known as Win Butler's younger brother) first solo album to date. Though this is his premier album, the Arcade Fire musician did compose the original score to 2014's award-winning motion picture "Her." Since then, he's employed his menagerie of musical skills to compose a sonically diverse debut. Because he's a part of Arcade Fire, the urge to expect a style and fluency throughout the album close to that of AF is natural, but that's not what Butler delivered. The album as one single entity doesn't have the most natural transitions, but with that in mind, each song has a distinct feel much like each Arcade Fire album has a distinct feel, and each song is reminiscent of a different AF phase. Granted, it still isn't Arcade Fire. Butler adds a flair of punk in "Take My Side (1), "What I Want" (6), an 80's background vibe in "Anna" (2), some thick experimental funk and accidentals in "Something's Coming" (5), and altogether more experimental takes on melody in each track. We hear the familiar rhythm and piano of Neon Bible in tracks "Finish What I started" (3) and "Sing to Me" (7), with a splash of that choral background ohhing and ahhing that's so Funeral and so loveable in tracks "Finish What I started" (3) and "Witness" (8). The most accessible and most consistent tracks are "Witness" (8) and "What I Want" (6), bringing in the most energy and the most danceability. His lyrics are zany ("I'll give you a pony/ if you cook it for dinner I know a great recipe/ for pony macaroni" – 'What I Want'), he's got a little extra angst, and he's proving his musical worth as an individual. All he's missing is the cohesion throughout the album, but I wouldn't write him off so soon.

Lady Lamb's sophomore album, After, starts off with typical pop-rock sound with "Vena Cava" and "Billions of Eyes", with a hint of 60's beach music in the mix. But in the next track, "Violet Clementine", she adds in some eerie, Modest Mouse-y, banjo, as well as a chorus of singers and horns. Shifts like this happen often through the album; "Sunday Shoes" is a stripped down acoustic track, "Milk Duds", "Ten", and "Atlas" are all sort of alt-country. But she never changes so much as to lose her unique sound.

The American Spirit – Season of Violence or Mourning, Protest, And the Birth of Bishop Killborne
American Spirit plays an assortment of ambient folk on their newest album that combines the woozy vocals of Father John Misty with the southern twang of My Morning Jacket. Their debut album features hazy songs led by acoustic guitars. Some songs are supplemented with light drums on songs like "All Night", while others feature harmonicas and banjos like in "Going on My Own Way". There is a musical depth through the background vocals but also a lyrical depth in their lyrics about longing and discovering something more. Season Of Violence or Mourning, Protest, And The Birth of Bishop Killborne is a creative album full of talent.

Matana Roberts – Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Three
Based out of New York, Matana Roberts' Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee is the third album of a slated 12 that will compile her Coin Coin project. Having grown up in Chicago in the late 70s and early 80s, her childhood was filled with musical influences, specifically of jazz and its component instruments. Roberts is known as a sound experimentalist. This album is full mechanical, repetitive hums, crackles and reverberations, masked by eerie oohs and experimental saxophone melodies, Roberts' main instrument. Fading in and out of the noise is Robert's voice, sometimes melodic, but often it is just raspy and chant-like, or just plain talking, being that Roberts also works with spoken word poetry. Her album is full of the sounds of life, not its melodies, which weave together in sincere incongruity and culminate into a whole of transfixing uncertainty.

Blowout Comb, which followed Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space), opens with a blast from some dissonant horns the immediately inform the audience that they are listening a jazz-rap album. "Black Ego" then moves into anti-establishment brag raps, but it's important to note how loud the beat is in comparison to vocals. The beat doesn't act as just a backdrop to flow against; it acts as its own entity, as it seems that there was a 4th member of Digable Planets. The 4th member is Dave Darlington, who was the engineer of the album and was largely responsible for unifying the various live instruments and samples into a singular sound.
"Dog It" serves as an example as to how to perfectly execute a horn sample while bringing in 5 percenter imagery and more abstract lyrics. "Jettin'" is a major highlight of the album, with the music rhythmically panning to bounce off the left and right channels. This effect makes an already great track a surreal and memorable listen. Identity continues to play a big role in the lyrics of this track, with a memorable lines from Ish and Mecca: "Before I pop I'd rather die in baggy Guess and Timbs" and "No blue eyes to emulate".
Dan Deacon – Gliss Riffer
Baltimore is really churning out some great music these days and Dan Deacon is one of the city's very best artists. Since his stunning breakthrough, 2007's Spiderman of the Rings, Deacon has put out the gorgeous, live-instrument focused Bromst (one of my favorites of that year) and the ambitious America, and now Gliss Riffer, which feels like vintage Dan Deacon, while still experimenting with the ideas and forms that his fans are familiar with. The opener "Feel the Lightning" feels like the closest thing we've ever gotten to a Dan Deacon pop song. There's a really discernible structure and catchy synth parts that augment Deacon's traditional joyful, electronic chaos. Gliss Riffer takes a really dramatic left turn is the last 2 tracks of the record. "Take It to the Max" and "Steely Blues" are two of the most experimental tracks Deacon's done since signing with Domino and display his masterful composition skills as well as his ability to create huge environments with his array of musical ideas.

The Pop Group – Citizen Zombie
The seminal post-punk band, The Pop Group has released Citizen Zombie, their first LP in 35 years, and they've picked up right where they left off. When beloved bands reunite and release new material, the new records often derided and met with skepticism, as it can never match the expectations presented by a legendary back catalog. With their three short years as a band from 1977-1980, The pop group seamlessly blended the noise of the Birthday Party, the political outrage of the Clash and the Sex Pistols, and the nerdy white punk funk of American New Wave, all the while lending more influences to these contemporaries. On Citizen Zombie the Pop Group still have the raw political energy and the rage of a young band while still offering a mature, postmodern sound that seems wiser than their previous work. The opener and title track, "Citizen Zombie" is funky and savage which somehow manages to include jazz inspired sounds, feedback and futuristic noise. In contrast to their usual punk-funk, tracks like "Mad Truth" and "s.o.p.h.i.a." are dancefloor ready snythpop tracks. The Standout track is "Nowhere Girl" and its most reminiscent to their older material and verges on the anthemic, combining love song and atypical optimism with huge, blaring guitar riffs and U2ish backup vocals. Closer "Echelon" sounds like a synthed up Nick Cave song as its very pretty and eerie. Although the political lyrics can be bulky at times (see; "Nations"/ "Immaculate Deception") they are still intriguing and give the album a dystopian vibe. The Pop Group's Citizen Zombie is a strong effort that holds up to the band's impressive discography without sounding trite and overdone.

Debut opens with "Human Behavior", which would become the biggest single from the album with its unconventional percussion and David Attenborough-inspired lyrics. Some songs feel that they were designed for a London club, such as "Crying" and "Violently Happy". However, when one looks at the production credits, there's no surprise that Nellee Hooper holds the vast majority of credits. Nellee Hooper was part of the "Wild Things" collective which was vital in establishing modern London club culture, and also worked on Massive Attack's sophomore album Protection. "Big Time Sensuality" is another infectious fan favorite, with its grooving synths and provocative lyrics pushing the listener to give up their insecurities and celebrate life and love (for around 4 minutes, at least).
While many see Debut as Björk's clubbiest album, it may also be her jazziest. An endearing and original performance of the jazz standard "Like Someone In Love", which has been performed by many greats such as Frank Sinatra, John Coltrane, and Eric Dolphy, is an essential crush song (for Trevor, at least). Small additions such as sounds of buses and cars driving by show that Björk's attention to detail go far beyond her vocal performance. "The Anchor Song" closes the album, and poses a stark contrast to the previous, manic track "Violently Happy". This is the only song on Debut which Björk holds sole production credits for, and it shows. There are no drums, no synths, no driving beats; there is simply a dissonant performance by saxophonist Oliver Lake (also appearing on "Aeroplane") and Björk. The lyrics are cryptic and personal, and perhaps act as a somber refrain to the themes of nature that opened the album.
While Björk herself may distance herself from the critical praise of Debut, fans still hold it in high regard. For those new to her work, it acts as a perfect starting point for working through her lengthy and dynamic career.
Title Fight's third full length album, Hyperview, is an extreme departure from the aggressive punk of their previous releases, even the most recent Spring Songs EP (which featured heavily in WUOG's rotation last year). They've replaced the loud, post-hardcore sound, with a lusher shoegazey guitar sound that still packs the punch of their previous albums. Hyperview is still a killer punk album and it shows that Title Fight's steady growth has paid off with such a rewarding album. It may prove divisive to fans of their older material, but it's as good a place to start as any for the uninitiated. "Chlorine" still has guitars that swell and explode into softer, melodic vocals. "Hypernight" is still firmly entrenched in post-hardcore despite the shoegaze inspired riffs. "Your Pain is Mine Now" is beautiful and heart-wrenching with the refrain "Don't cry your eyes out." This song feels like the centerpiece of the album as it strips away the noise and shows the strong influence of mumbling post-punk and nineties indie rock dressed up as punk. The band stated that Dinosaur Jr. and the Beach boys were big influences on the record, and the transition from "Your Pain is Mine Now" into "Rose of Sharon" encapsulates those influences perfectly. This record is glorious, go listen to it.

The Church – Further/Deeper
Further/Deeper is the newest release from the Australian outfit The Church, building on more than three decades of experience and 25 albums. As would be expected with any band that created 25 albums and gained and lost a few members along the way, there is a disparity between original Church from 1981 and Church in 2015. The loss of an essential member (Marty Willson Piper) and gain of another (Powderfinger's Ian Haug), is one of the reasons for the shift into the Church of today. Despite this, their distinct sound carries through: emotionally searching, full of shimmering guitars and distant drums, but still wholly relatable. In Pride Before A Fall, Steve Kilbey's pleading voice drones "And now you know that actual love / It goes further, deeper," revealing the album's namesake and staying true to the yearning songs of the band's past. This album brings forth new ground that is apparent from the lead track "Vanishing Man" through to the psychedelic "Globe Spinning." Further/Deeper maintains the dreamy atmosphere reminiscent of past years while traversing new ground that is applicable to the 2015 music scene.

Benjamin Booker – Live at Third Man Records
Benjamin Booker, relatively new to the music scene, has already made a name for himself with his interesting take on post-war blues. His self-titled debut album, released last year, combined elements of blues with a DIY, garage-punk sound. His raspy voice sung, or sometimes screamed, over that lo-fi guitar sound and punchy percussion create a truly unique musical experience. While recording in a live setting sacrifices some production and overall sound quality, Booker more than makes up for it with his raw, energetic performance. The live album also features arrangements with fiddle and mandolin, including his cover of Furry Lewis' "Falling Down Blues", which he takes in a much folkier yet equally (if not more) powerful direction. Overall, the album is definitely worth a listen, and I am excited to see what the future holds for Benjamin Booker.

Natalie Prass is a singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN. I bet that made you think of what she sounds like, and odds are, you guessed wrong. Prass stands out remarkably among a crowded field of modern singer-songwriters by accompanying her songs with the most enormous arrangements I've heard from a folk-ish musician since Sufjan Stevens. All of the songs on Prass' self-titled debut are filled with gorgeous string sections, soft horns and delicate woodwind passages. The artist that comes to mind for me is the mid-period of Scott Walker's career (Scott 1, 2, 3, 4) where the arrangements are massive, but only add to already great songs. Thankfully, like Walker, Prass knows how to write a song. The opener "My Baby Don't Understand" has a gorgeous, addictive melody that weaves itself around some of the most interesting instrumental accompaniment I've heard in a while. Tracks like the previously mentioned 1st track and the following track "Bird of Prey" both refuse to adhere to the boring song structures many of Prass' peers rigidly follow. Her voice, which sounds almost tiny compared to the orchestral majesty of the songs, takes a little bit of getting used to, but can prove addictive and lovable like the songs it's a part of. -Andy Tabeling
Twerps – Range Anxiety
Twerps combines their reverb based riffs with lead singer Marty Frawley's warm but slightly off key vocals to create a lo fi album full of breezy harmonies and playful guitar. Range Anxiety, their second full-length, can be energetic, but also sensitive. "Cheap Education" is upbeat, while "Empty Road" is sung as a monotone ballad of love. "Empty Road" is a perfect mix of Twerps's slacker roots and their sunny guitar. Singing "I don't mind if you stay, I don't mind if you go," Frawley's ode to apathy is actually a well thought out song that utilizes the power of his guitar to form a chorus in itself. Range Anxiety is a cohesive album that combines the easygoing ambiance of Real Estate with the musical depth of Yo La Tengo. -Camilla Grayson
You Blew It! – Pioneer of Nothing
You Blew It! have returned with the 7" Pioneer of Nothing after their sophomore album, Keep Doing What You're Doing. On these three songs, You Blew It! Offer more of the same, which is essentially a good thing. Back in the summer they did an EP covering Weezer's the blue album, honoring the geek rock gods that came before them. On this EP, however their influences lean more to the nineties emo of Dismemberment Plan and American Football. Despite what Ian Cohen says, we're in the midst of an emo revival, which 7" keeps it going strong with the opening two tracks offering textured and intricate guitars that soon give way to angst ridden pop-punk hooks. On "Lanai", You Blew It's! vocalist is reminiscent of Travis Morrison. Slow burning, heavy and sad-emo is back and here to stay at least for a little while. -Tom Jurgens
No Cities To Love is punk outfit, Sleater-Kinney's first album after a nine-year hiatus. No Cities begins with "Price Tag", a punchy anthem to consumerism. From minute one of the short thirty-three minute (ten song) album you're hit with the hard-driving tempo that carries it throughout. "Fangless" is a tad funkier than the rest with a more danceable tune. "A New Wave" conquers the dilemma of identity, as much of the album does, with some welcome harmonizing. "Surface Envy" is arguably the crowning jewel, featuring quite a bit of dual guitar play. No Cities To Love definitely follows on in the path of their previous work yet seems a bit more concise. There's no respite for the listener, each song gets straight to the point and before you can recover you're thrown back in.
-Sarah Guirguis
Viet Cong – Viet Cong
Death plays a major part in Viet Cong's composition. Aside from being the title of the epic final track on their debut album, it is death that initially brought the band together. After the tragic death of Women's guitarist Christopher Reimer, Bassist/vocalist Matt Flegel and Drummer Michael Wallace formed Viet Cong, continuing the creation of anxiety fueled post-punk. Since their Cassette Ep, Viet Cong have incorporated synthesizers and drones of Swans intensity, further expanding their sound. "March of Progress" begins with a repetitive drum rhythm over minimal synth chords and tape loops, leading to metallic arpeggiating guitars and a verse that builds with full intensity, highlighting Wallace's precise drumming and their ability to interweave guitars. The presence of Christopher Reimer lurks through each track, inspiring much of the content lyrically and musically. On Continental shelf, Flegel sings, "Don't want to reminisce" and "Don't want to face the world, it's suffocating", further revealing his emotional angst. On the album's closer "Death", Viet Cong play with driving force, exemplifying their greatest strengths and abilities. At just over 11 minutes, "Death" takes many forms, patiently building up into a throbbing drone until a sudden shift, changing the pace and playing at unusual time signatures similar to Women's "Heat Distraction". Viet Cong is an incredibly consistent album that stretches the boundaries of their previous work, blending familiarity with a certain freshness.

Hey! So here's how we put this together: We prepped a small editorial team made up of outgoing music directors (Alec & I) as well as our incoming music directors (Brett, Trevor, Jonny). We, along with 32 other WUOG staffers submitted ranked lists of what we considered to be the best albums of 2014. The editors then paired our (weighted) album rankings with the rankings of our staffers and created a definitive Top 50 list that we feel best represents the opinion of WUOG as a whole. We've disregarded WUOG's on-air philosophy here, so Billboard success wont exclude any deserving artists from the list or effect their ranking. After the jump are our top ten choices accompanied by write-ups from various members of our editorial team (I made everyone write a little something about our #1 pick, whether they liked it or not). You can see the full Top 50 list, ranked in order of how many "votes" each album received, at the bottom of the post. Also, side-note, this is the last thing I'm ever going to write for WUOG. Bye everybody, it's been fun hanging with y'all for the last 3 years :'). - Nathan Kerce, outgoing music director, former blog editor, nice enough guy.
10. Frankie Cosmos – Zentropy
Zentropy is an album that's pretty diverse in its application. Warm background music for a small gathering of friends, a bright soundtrack to a short drive across town, a comforting companion on a lonely night – the first proper release from singer-songwriter Frankie Cosmos, or Greta Kline, can fulfill any of these roles when the moment calls for it. Zentropy's cutesy compositions and deceptively intimate lyricism mesh into a mere 17 minutes of tender music that could only be written by someone as delicately young as 19 year old Kline. She presents herself as an artist who wants someone to take her on a date, longs for her late dog, loathes the idea of studying art and simply wants to dance somewhere where she'll be seen. Is that really so much to ask? – Jonny Williams
9. Ricky Eat Acid - Three Love Songs
Ricky Eat Acid's music strikes the senses. Like looking at a photograph of happier times – the thought of the picture's contents lead to both a soft grin and an inescapable feeling of emptiness. It's the double-edged sword of nostalgia, the type of yearning that surrounds Sam Lowe's latest ambient release, Three Love Songs. The album acts as an exploration of environments you feel like you could almost touch, all conjured by Lowe's atmospheric collages. Beautifully paced, Three Love Songs builds up momentum from its ethereal first half until the album peaks with energetic tracks that resemble a slightly less danceable incarnation of IDM. Just as it's finally picking up intensity, Ricky Eat Acid's first release on Orchid Tapes floats away with bubble-like synth runs. Much like the memories that this album can conjure, Three Love Songs emotional effect grows to a boiling point until all of its pain and hurt is relieved with a long, soothing exhale. – Jonny Williams
8. Swans – To Be Kind
How do you even write about To Be Kind? This album is a behemoth in more ways than one. Spanning just over 2 hours (and 2 discs) in length, the latest effort from Swans is a challenging but rewarding listen. The first disc is mostly what fans of The Seer are already familiar with: long droning tracks that build slowly with Michael Gira cackling cryptic lyrics and performing with a harsh repetition that seemingly punishes the listener. The second disc, however, is a different story. Gira sounds absolutely evil on some of these tracks and the percussion blows me away on every listen. I can't help but dance like I'm primitive whenever I hear "Oxygen" and "Kirsten Supine" is the most hauntingly beautiful track the group has produced since 1996's "Animus". Simultaneously beautiful, harsh, hypnotizing and unforgiving; Swans have stayed true to their name more than 30 years after their foundation. – Trevor Adams
7. Flying Lotus – You're Dead!
With an ambitious album trailer and art campaign led by the prestigious Shintaro Kago, You're Dead! had the most hype of any Flying Lotus release to date. However, any Flying Lotus fan knows you should throw out any pre-set expectations you have of his albums before listening to them. Steven Ellison opens You're Dead! with a looming, droning intro before breaking into a frenzied jazz fusion/hip-hop trip with the help of Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Herbie Hancock, and his right-hand man Thundercat. For an album clocking in at only slightly above 38 minutes (yet containing 19 tracks!), You're Dead! takes the listener through an absolute hurricane of genres and styles. So what happened to the sample-heavy FlyLo that we all used to know and love? He's still kicking around, as demonstrated by the shimmering Ennio Morricone sample in "Turtles" and his trademark shakers that close out "The Protest". With rumors of an upcoming Captain Murphy release and collaborations with Kendrick Lamar in the works, it's anyone's guess on where Flying Lotus will take us next. – Trevor Adams
6. Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – Piñata
No one can say that it wasn't a long time coming. Beginning with the release of their first collaborative Thuggin EP in 2011, fans of both Freddie Gibbs and Madlib had been waiting for 3 years for this unlikely collaboration to finally produce an album. Now we have Piñata, and it's glorious. A producer from the West Coast and a rapper from Gary, Indiana have some how made the best East Coast hip-hop album of the year. Madlib is at the top of his game here; the beats are immaculate. The mixing itself is also impressive, especially on "Shame" where BJ the Chicago Kid's hook sounds like a sample rather than an original recording. Freddie Gibbs himself also has the best performance of his career. When combined with a full roster of great-featured artists, including a Danny Brown verse where it sounds like he's yelling through a wall, this is a hip-hop lover's dream package. – Trevor Adams
5. Run the Jewels – Run the Jewels 2
Run the Jewels 2 came out at exactly the right time. On their first release, the unrepentant rage and bravado of this unlikely duo (NY producer/rapper El-P and Atlanta rapper Killer Mike) seemed fun and ultimately designed to help listeners have a good time. However their sophomore release comes on the heels of a year filled several high profile cases of unjust police brutality and a heavy push-back from U.S. citizens against oppressive and unfair authority figures. Killer Mike has been a vocal proponent for police reform and justice for underprivileged citizens for his entire career, but now that that the Run the Jewels moniker has expanded his (as well as El-P's) fan base way beyond its initial reach, the game has completely changed. Run the Jewels 2 has served as an impromptu soundtrack to nationwide protests and whether the duo intended this or not, it puts their music in an entirely new light. The album, much like its predecessor, is undeniably frontloaded and has a few R&B features that completely fall flat but it's still hard to deny that the product has improved on a technical level. The beats, rhymes and production all have taken a remarkable step up from their debut and notable rap features from Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack De La Rocha as well as Gangsta Boo are a welcome change of pace. As American society stands in a state of uncertainty and fear, Run the Jewels is a much needed boost of confidence to a population that is fed up with the system. Bring on Run the Jewels 3; let's keep this freight train rolling. – Nathan Kerce
4. Aphex Twin – Syro
Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin) does not need to prove himself. He's one of the most important, influential figures in electronic music and it's because of his influence that any attempts to compare Syro to other modern electronic albums falls flat. He's like the Bob Hope of electronic music, but instead of getting all weird and supporting the Vietnam war, he released a killer album. Important artists garner attention no matter how they release their albums, but for the release of Syro, Aphex Twin's unusual pageantry was part of the fun. The packaging itself was a minimalist list of song titles and then expenses of making and promoting the album, which folded out until it reached the floor, like a receipt. Even the track titles themselves were unique, with names that sounded like direct exported files like "4 Bit 9d Api+E+6 [126.26]." My favorite two tracks are at the very beginning, featuring everything from warm drum machine sounds a la Boards of Canada to garbled vocals reminiscent of Amnesiac-era Radiohead. The album veers more into conventional electronic after that, but it's that intangible Aphex Twin-ness that makes this project more memorable and different from all the adoring copy cats that populate the scene. – Brett Bennett
3. Mac Demarco – Salad Days
A lot of the love for Salad Days came from the perfect timing of its release. It came out on April 1st (typical) right as we were emerging from winter. When you were walking around listening to this, it was like you were trapped in one of those Disney shorts were the flowers are smiling at you. And Mac, with his sleepy eyes and gap-toothed grin, probably totally feels you on that. The album just makes you feel good. It's lazy, carefree, languid, and cheeky. All words you'd probably use to describe Mac Demarco himself. But when you actually start to pay attention the lyrics, instead of getting caught in the sonic haze, you find that Mac is finally singing about something. For example, the track "Let My Baby Stay" is about how he doesn't want his girlfriend to be deported. The tracks "Treat Her Better" and "Let Her Go" provide seemingly legitmate, helpful relationship advice though their sunny melodies somewhat betray Mac's serious message. It's not that Mac has matured or anything on this album (god forbid), he just finally has something to say has found the proper way to say it. – Brett Bennett
2. Sun Kil Moon – Benji
On Benji, the sixth record produced under his Sun Kil Moon moniker, singer-songwriter Mark Kozelek tells a fascinating series of interconnected stories, united under themes of grief and acceptance. Kozelek uses raw, matter-of-fact storytelling combined with a signature biting wit to weave what at first glance seems like a portrait of a man who has been living a life full of tragedy, surrounded by a cast of miserable characters (the "cast" mostly being Kozelek's family members and friends, with an occasional celebrity cameo here and there). Freak accidents, failed suicide attempts, the Newtown shooting, awkward sexual experiences and missed backstage high fives; all of these incidents make up a bigger picture that ultimately presents a strong end-message of positivity. Despite the often dark and "depressing" nature of Benji's subject matter, Kozelek manages to remain hopeful (or at the very least not negative) about his future and thankful for all the memories he's gotten to share with these people, no matter how painful they might have been. – Nathan Kerce
1. FKA Twigs – LP1
While her first two EPs served as an above-average introduction to her sound, FKA Twigs' LP1 is a forceful and monumental debut from one of the most unique and exciting new artists in pop music. There was a lot of stupid and unwarranted worry that without the helping hand of producer Arca (who still plays a significant role on this album but much less so than on her previous work), Twigs would fall flat. If anything, the opposite was true. Twigs has never sounded better than she does on LP1 and its thanks mostly to her strong voice as well an expanded roster of talented producers (including herself) providing her with the hottest beats of the year. Her lyricism and song concepts have also taken a big step-up from her early EPs. First single "Two Weeks" is an aggressive and seductive ultimatum to a partner who can't make up their mind that somehow manages to be catchy, sexy and kind of terrifying at the same time. Album centerpiece "Video Girl" is also a particular highlight as Twigs weighs her real-life experience as a backup dancer for artists like Kylie Minogue and Jessie J against her uneasy feelings about becoming a solo pop artist. With the strong aesthetic, breathless confidence and dominant sound of LP1, FKA Twigs easily cemented herself as the most important voice in music in 2014. – Nathan Kerce
When you look back at 2014, FKA Twigs is probably going to be one of the most memorable artists of the year. There is something gorgeous and bizarre about her sound, minimal R&B mixed with an oddity Grimes would love and politics Janelle Monae could get behind. Just as her album's packaging has her face skewed in various ways, her music takes traditions of female R&B singers and twists it, disarming the listener. Her voice is strong but dips into breathless desperation, making the whole album captivating and emotional. Whether it grows on you or you are hooked from the first sound of her voice, there's capacity for everyone to find some appreciation for FKA Twigs on LP1. – Brett Bennett
Am I missing something here? I can appreciate the alternative take on R&B that LP1 tries to convey, but I'm just not interested in an album that feels forced as this one does. Sure, it has its moments of freely roaming just outside the boundaries of pop music's limitations and at its peak FKA Twigs' debut record is at fascinating. However, as it progresses through the tracklist, LP1 becomes exhaustingly straining in how hard it tries to be clever. This is one of those albums where I understand the appeal, but I'm just not interested. I only ever listened to it because Danny Brown wouldn't stop tweeting about it anyways. – Jonny Williams
Following EP1 and EP2, LP1 feels like a natural progression from Barnett's earlier work. With contributions from many big-name producers, but most importantly Arca. It's hard to pinpoint a genre when it comes to FKA Twigs, other than through various misnomers like "Art Pop" or "Alternative R&B" which both fail to accurately describe her sound for different reasons. However, fans of the electronic scene in London should feel at home on LP1. This is the sexiest album of the year, hands down. – Trevor Adams

Looking for the Lost: Journeys Through a Vanishing Japan
Kodansha International, 1996 - Travel - 387 pages
Traveling by foot through mountains and villages, Alan Booth found a Japan far removed from the stereotypes familiar to Westerners. Whether retracing the footsteps of ancient warriors or detailing the encroachments of suburban sprawl, he unerringly finds the telling detail, the unexpected transformation, the everyday drama that brings this remote world to life on the page. Looking for the Lost is full of personalities, from friendly gangsters to mischievous children to the author himself, an expatriate who found in Japan both his true home and dogged exile. Wry, witty, sometimes angry, always eloquent, Booth is a uniquely perceptive guide.
Looking for the Lost is a technicolor journey into the heart of a nation. Perhaps even more significant, it is the self-portrait of one man, Alan Booth, exquisitely painted in the twilight of his own life.

Review: Looking for the Lost: Journeys Through a Vanishing JapanUser Review - Esther Cervantes - Goodreads
Still a book written by a cranky Englishman who walks through Japan, liking little more than beer, pretty women, and solitude, but multifaceted in a way that The Roads to Sata was not. Brings in history, historiography, legend, and reminiscence, and saves a gut punch for the very last page. Read full review

Japanese Beetles
Anyone got a trick for repelling JB's from Hardy Hibiscus and Mallows? I would like to avoid chemicals, as I garden for birds and butterflies.
Unfortunately, I am gardening for THEM too...
Used properly, neem oil can be very effective at repelling Japanese beetles and other insects that feed on foliage. Be sure to purchase the pure, cold-pressed product, as other extraction methods can significantly reduce the amount of the active ingredient (azadirachtin) in the end product. I use the product packaged by Dyna-Gro. It works better than any other neem oil containing product I've used.
Here is a link that might be useful: Click me for more help
I usually just pick them off by hand as they much prefer the flowers to the foliage and will often remain inside the flowers feeding and/or mating after the flowers rolls up at sundown. I just give them a squeeze until I feel that satisfying crunch of squashed beetles inside and I don't get my hands dirty. The bumblebees feed heavily on the pollen of the flowers so I don't spray or do anything to risk harming them.

Abstract: In this work we study the local integrability of strongly pseudoconvex Mizohata structures of rank (and co-rank ). These structures are locally generated in an appropriate coordinate system by flat perturbations of Mizohata vector fields , . For this, we first prove the global integrability of small perturbations of the structure generated by , , , defined over a manifold , where is simply connected.

Hazel Nut Trees
I live at 3600 feet elevation and have planted 5 Hazelnut trees (bare root stock) that I ordered on line through Gurney's Seed. The little 2 foot trees are coming to life and I did have one survive last year's winter and it is also coming back to life, though smaller than the new bare root stock I planted this year. You have to have more than 1 tree for cross polination and I ended up with 5.
My question is, has anyone else in Arizona grown Hazelnut trees successfully? If so, what hints do you have. Should I "shelter" these trees from the hot dry winds and hot sun?
Pecan trees, Pistacio and walnut trees grow here...I am hoping the Hazelnut trees will also do well here. The Pecan trees in our area are gigantic and bountiful with large delicious nuts. Our little town even has a Pecan and Wine Festival every Spring.
Anyone who has grown Hazelnuts in Arizona, please let me know of your successes or failures.
Many thanks,
You could contact Cooperative Extension, but it does seem to be listed to grow in AZ
Filberts are a cash crop in sun-intense and dry Sicily
Mamabear - I am also in AZ high desert (Kingman) and am interested in planting hazelnut trees. How are yours doing now? How big are they? Have you had any trouble growing them? I really only want one, but it seems they have to be planted in pairs (or more) to pollinate... do you know how close together they need to be? Thanks for any feedback.

Gothic Rock
Gothic rock (sometimes called goth rock) is a genre of rock music that originated during the late 1970s. Originally bands from the genre had strong ties to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk styles. The genre itself was defined as a separate movement from punk rock during the early 1980s. Gothic rock artists deal with dark themes and intellectual movements such as gothic horror, Romanticism, existential philosophy, and nihilism. Notable gothic rock bands include Bauhaus, Joy Division, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy and Fields of the Nephilim.
