Nellie McKay: Quiet Anarchist By Justin Steyer & Abe Beeson • Oct 2, 2013 Justin Steyer / KPLU Listen Listening... / 20:21 Listen to the full interview and performance OK, maybe "anarchist" is too harsh a word to apply to singer/songwriter/pianist/ukulele player, Nellie McKay, but as you will hear in this interview, Nellie is a woman of strong beliefs, which she presents pleasantly, politely and often with great wit. But in her conversation and in her songs, her opinions and social observations are definitely on display. Larry Coryell and The Eleventh House Reunion Band By Abe Beeson & Justin Steyer • Sep 24, 2013 Justin Steyer / KPLU Listen Listening... / 27:36 Listen to the full interview and performance Forty years ago, a band called Eleventh House helped set the standard for what would become known as Jazz-Rock Fusion. The band consisted of Larry Coryell (guitar), Alphonse Mouzon (drums), Mike Mandel (keyboards), Danny Trifan (bass) and Randy Brecker (trumpet). On this leg of the Eleventh House Reunion Tour, Mandel couldn't make the gig so Larry brought in one of Seattle's finest pianists, Marc Seales, to fill in. As you'll hear in this performance, Marc more than holds his own. Monty Alexander, John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton—'Nuff Said By Justin Steyer & Abe Beeson • Aug 14, 2013 Justin Steyer / KPLU "'Nuff said," is right. When jazz fans hear the names Monty Alexander, John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton in conjunction, they know they'll be treated great music, played with inspiration, joy and absolutely amazing technical chops. Monty (piano), John (bass) and Jeff (drums) have performed together off and on for almost 40 years. Booker T. Jones: The heart of soul By Justin Steyer & Mary McCann • Jul 3, 2013 Justin Steyer / KPLU During the 1960s there was a golden age of soul music in America. Some of the greatest songs from that era came from the Stax Recording Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. A short list of artists who recorded there could include Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, Sam & Dave and the instrumental band led by Hammond organist, Booker T. Jones—Booker T. And The M.G.s.

Five years ago he hooked up with a young, extremely accomplished guitarist named Vinny Raniolo. Since then they've worked together in a number of different group configurations but they're at their best when it's just the two of them, each armed with an acoustic guitar and a great desire to have a good time. And that's exactly what they do in this studio session with jazz host, Abe Beeson.

She's also one of our favorite KPLU Studio Session guests.

This time around, with host Abe Beeson and a small audience of KPLU Leadership Circle members, Ann turned Our Love Is Here To Stay into an audience-participation scat-along which was enjoyed by all.

Molly Ringwald: Rediscovering her jazz roots By Justin Steyer & Abe Beeson • May 7, 2013 Justin Steyer / KPLU In 2010, actress/singer, Molly Ringwald wrote her first book, Getting The Pretty Back.

She also worked with Hughes in "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club." But before Molly Ringwald became one of the world's most famous teenagers, she was a jazz singer. Yes.

The Changing Nervous System : Neurobehavioral Consequences of Early Brain Disorders: Neurobehavioral Consequences of Early Brain Disorders (Google eBook)
Sarah H. Broman Health Scientist Administrator National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Houston Jack M. Fletcher Professor of Pediatrics University of Texas Health Sciences Center
Oxford University Press, Jul 12, 1999 - Medical - 428 pages
This book provides an integrated review of current research on neural plasticity and reorganization after early cerebral insults. Addressing both animal studies and a variety of diverse clinical populations, including children with congenital brain malformations, focal lesions, autism, and pervasive developmental disorders, this book summarizes many of the major advances on neural plasticity made in these areas over the past several years. Characterized by a broad historical perspective including contributions from some of the earliest researchers on environmental factors and brain organization, the book advances the reader form the laboratory to application in several human populations. Many of the components of the book explicitly address relationships of animal and human models, showing that the laboratory and the clinic are overlapping settings, not isolated chambers as they are often perceived. The understanding of neural plasticity and both biological and environmental factors that influence brain reorganization after early cerebral insult has major implications for treatment. The book outlines many of the potential applications for treatment of early brain disorders. The contributors include basic neuroscientists, cognitive neuroscientists, and clinician-researchers who work together to bridge gaps among disciplines. The book should facilitate collaborative research and applications in the critical areas of neural plasticity and brain reorganization. Advancement of knowledge of factors that prevent and enhance brain reorganization after early cerebral insult is a key to unraveling the mysteries of the developmental disorders characteristic of children and which influence their development through adulthood.

Customs officers arrested six mainlanders and seized HK$12.7 million worth of smuggled VCDs after intercepting a mainland-bound fishing boat near the sea boundary off Magazine Island late on Wednesday night. The 529 cartons of video compact discs, including music videos and television dramas, were hidden in secret compartments, customs spokesman Carl Lam Chi-keung said. Investigation showed the discs were genuine products and destined for Shanwei, Guangdong province. The six men, aged between 31 and 47, were being held for questioning last night.

tall plants/trees for fence planting - total shade
Hi all - we just replaced our fence in the backyard and it looks great. Because we're in a high density neighbourhood we'd like to add to the privacy by planting something fast growing that will extend beyond the height of the fence (which is 7'). Here's the challenge. The fence is pressure treated wood and the area where we would plant gets absolutely no sun. Is this an impossible task? We already have very mature lilac trees in this area that have done really well.
Any and all suggestions welcome!
Eliz, do you want evergreens or deciduous trees? I went to the gardening centre yesterday asking for something similar to replace dying cedar hedges. There is a type of evergreen called Texas which grows to a fair height but does not grow quickly. Another option is a deciduous shrub called Viburnum Autumn Jazz. It grows quickly and tall (see the link below) and also has lovely autumn colours. It can take part to full shade, from what I was told.
Here is a link that might be useful: Viburnum autumn jazz
I'm trying to determine what kind of shade. Deep, light or medium shade?
can you describe if the area above the fenceline receives sun? (if so, regular tall trees with it's crown exposed to the sun will be okay)
When you look into the shade and put your hand in it, do you see your hand? (if so, trees that can tolerate light shade can do... for example Hawthorn trees, emerald cedars, cornus Kousa (dogwood))
If you look into this shade and it's so dark like you are in a movie theatre - it's probably way too dark to get anything suitable except for you to build a trellis with a cross beam to cut the view of your neighbors.
Hi all - thks for the responses and sorry about the delay in replying. I'm on a biz trip so checking in less frequently.
lilyfreak, thanks for the suggestion on the viburnum. I think the area may be too shady even for that.
ianna, below are a few pix of the area. These were taken before our fence was replaced (and you can see why it needed replacing!!) and also before the lilacs there were in full bloom. In the first pic, the area of fence we want to plant against is straight ahead; the second (with the caption) shows the run of fence that we want to plant against.
So even though it looks like it gets some sun, that's early morning sun. I guess I would classify the shade as "light to medium".
squirelette, thks for the suggestion on the borage. I'll look into that.
I was also thinking about euonymus - thoughts?
Thanks again!
So the area looks suitable for shade plants in general. You could try lining it with cedars, hawhthorn, privet, however these are hedging materials not meant to look exciting. If you wish to vamp up the area, make things look interesting with a combination of plant materials. Pagoda Dogwood, yews, boxwood, euonymous(variegated), variegated dogwood, rhododendrons, oakleaf hydrangeas,etc..
You could add underplantings of perennials such as hostas, foxgloves, astilbes, trollius, corral bells, etc.. Once again all shade loving plants.
If trees are too much of an expense, a cheaper way is to set up tall 6x6 posts with criss cross trellis on top. This way you can grow some shade suitable vines like climbing hydrangea, honey suckle vines, dutchmans' pipe.. These are wood stemmed vines which can eventually be trained to look like trees.
Just ideas
Climbing Hydrangea Vine would look so good on your new board fence. Attach a wire trellis system on the board for the vine to climb on. Google Hydrangea petiolaris. It would take several years for it to get established but it then grows up wonderfully and has great flowers too!
You might also try the Emerald Cedar so popular theese days. I see a bit of sunshine showing in one of your photos. Wal.Mart was selling off their 6 to 8ft Cedar trees for ten dollars last week! If you get three to five hours of sunlight it should survive.

Cutting 4' thick stainless steel.
deni_albOctober 13, 2010
I need to cut a 4" thick stainless steel plate (nope, not a safe lol).
I don't need clean nice cuts. I ordered a cutting torch but then I read that it might not function as stainless steel is designed to fight oxidation.
Will a metal grinder work? This will be done in the field so I can't use a metal shop or large equipment.

Re: Michael Caine explains the ending of INCEPTION
I see the ending like Schrodinger's cat. The top neither remains spinning nor falls within the audience's perception, therefore the story's "quantum state" is never collapsed.
That is, it is both a dream and reality.
It's a statement about fiction in general.

Maryland Senate Committee Considers Gender Identity Bill
February 5, 2014 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
The Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee yesterday heard testimony from supporters and opponents of a gender-identity bill that, if passed, would extend state nondiscrimination protections to transgender residents.
Should The Fairness for All Marylanders Act of 2014 (SB 212), which is cosponsored by 25 senators, receive the necessary number of votes from committee, the critical bill would then move to the Senate floor.
The Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee failed to pass similar legislation last March by a narrow 6 to 5 vote.
HRC State Legislative Director Sarah Warbelow testified in support of the legislation. Read her testimony in its entirety here.

Native plants to keep a slope from eroding
I am trying to find a native plant to use on a sloped area in my back yard to help prevent the slope from eroding away. I want something native to GA (or at least the southeast), evergreen, 6-30-ish inches tall, and at least somewhat fast growing. The slope gets a decent amount of sun morning and afternoon, but is shaded by mid-afternoon. The slope ends in a natural wooded/stream area.
I have had no luck finding anything myself, so I was hoping the forum would have some ideas. Thanks!!!
That's a tough combination: native, evergreen, under 30 inches AND fast-growing. Not sure you can have all those characteristics (and be able to locate some of it).
A classic ground cover is Rhus aromatica 'Grow Low', but it is not evergreen. Leucothoe axillaris is evergreen but not necessarily fast (not the first two years) and is more than 30 inches tall.
Phlox subulata is native, evergreen and low growing - readily available in stores all over the place right now because it is blooming. Don't know how fast it is.
You could certainly consider a mix of things. Shrubs and trees usually provide the best root system to hold a slope, so a few of those strategically placed with some groundcovers for looks might be a good approach.
Here is a link that might be useful: Georgia Native Plant Society
I don't know if wintergreen would fit the bill? What do you think, Esh? I don't know that it would stop errosion. It doesn't move very quickly, that's for sure.
Dwarf itea is great for holding in slopes, but it's not evergreen.
By "wintergreen", do you mean Chimaphila maculata or Gaultheria procumbens? Chimaphila would not be suitable and I don't have any experience with Gaultheria - it is only native to the far northern counties of Georgia. Just a little bit of research says it does not like heat and humidity and prefers "cool summers".

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Patented Oct. 2, 1951 HIGH DIELECTRIC STRENGTH,
Harold E. Selby, Brooklyn, N. Y., 'assignor', by mesne assignments, to Bishop Manufacturing. I Corporation, Summit, N. Jr, a corporatlonnof .1. New Jersey No Drawing.
. to an improved composition in tape, sheet ormass form which has thep'roperty-of sealing itself into a substantially homogeneous body. of high electrical insulating value whenapplied to a conjected to "relatively high 'or relatively low tem-,
peratures. All of them deteriorate quickly in the presence of ozone. -For this reason,-great dimculty has been encountered in the past in' prop- .erly insulating conductors which are used for or near high voltage lines or other equipment where corona discharge, arcing or other ozone generating conditions are present; This is equallyitrue of the rubberinsulating tapes which are widely used to forma rubbery sheath around a conductor or a connection. Such rubber tapes are convenient to use, but inasmuch as they consist principallyof unvulcanized rubber and an accelerator, they have the disadvantage-of being self-vulcanizing so that their shelf life is relativelyshort. Also, these tapes are sticky so that the tape tends to sticktogether, often times tearing and making its application-to the wire or other article being insulated a rather difiicult and messy operation. v
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of these priorflexible insulating materials by providing a composition which is unaffected over very. longperiods'of time by high concentrations'of ozone. It is. stable and thus has a very long shelf life. It isnotespecially tacky and to or betterthanthe rubber tapes and insulating materials produced heretofore. Moreover, my new composition, when provided in tape or sheet form, has the highly desirable property of being self-sealing, that is, when the material is stretched and then wrapped around a conductor Application January 4, 1949, Serial No. 69,235 V GCIaims. (c1. 260- -27) 1 or other article, it has a creep or memory such that it contracts and flows together to form -a homogeneous body whichcannot be delaminated after setting for a relatively short period of time. This material, upon setting, does not show lamlnationscorresponding to the convloutions of the material. Thus. ifthe tape is wound around a conductor in the usual way, a continuous sheath is provided which does not have a junction, line or zone between the overlapping portions of the material. l
The properties of the material can be varied substantially, depending upon its intended use. Thus, the material maybe made very pliable and soft foruse under low temperature conditions wherein ordinary insulation becomes brittle and shatters. ,On the other hand, its properties can be modified so that it is resistant to high temperatures and it Will adhere to and remain on the conductor without any tendency to flow away or to drop from the conductor. Compositions of optimum characteristics which are capable of withstanding a very great range of temperatures can be produced and thereby servev efiectively from below zero .to temperatures well above ,thus does not tend tostick together very strongly. In addition, it has dielectric properties equal A particularly novel characteristic of my. new composition is; that it discloses visually the optimum degree of stretch to be attained before applying the material to the article to be insulated. In the preferred type of composition, the tape changes color when itis stretched sufiiciently to produce the memory or creep efiect which renders the tape self-sealing. 7
Generally, tapes of the type embodying the present invention and having the most desirable properties for commercial use consist of a compatible mixture of at least four components.
Thesecomponents are polyethylene of a relativeconsist of 35% diphenyl-paraphenylene diamine and 65% phenyl-alpha-naphthtyl-amine.
The property of resistance to deterioration by the action of ozone is believed to be laregly due to the fact that this composition contains very little unsaturated material, the only unsaturated compound present being isoprene. Thus, there are few linkages available for coupling with oxygen which would cause a change in or breaking down of the plastic and insulating properties of the composition.
The functions of the various components of my new insulating composition are believed to be as follows: The polyethylene is in the nature of an inert filler having good insulating properties. It also serves to indicate the proper degree of stretch of the finished tape or material. Polyethylene is a good insulator but it is semi-rigid when of the molecular weight preferred in the composition and it has relatively low physical strength.
Butyl rubber is highly compatible with polyethylene and has the function of reducing the rigidity of the polyethylene and providing increased stretch in the material.
Polymerized isobutylene increases the tear strength of the material and also appears to increase the resistance of the composition to oxidation, especially oxidation by ozone. It also,
when used in the proper molecular weight, re-
duces the rubberiness produced by the butyl rubher.
The resinous tackiflers referred to above pro-.
duce a plasticizing action and cause the material to flow under pressure, thereby making the material bond together. The resinous tackifier may be any of a large group of synthetic or natural resins or derivatives thereof which are recognized for their ability to impart tackiness to resinous products. Among those resinous tackifiers that have been used in my new composition are cumarone-indene resins, alpha methyl styrenes, phenol-formaldehyde resins, alkyd-type resins, terpene resins, wood rosins, rosin esters, such as ester gums, hydrogenated diterpenes, pentaerythritol abietates, hydroabietyl alcohol, dehydro abietic acid, zinc resinates, gutta percha resin derivatives and many others.
The best results are obtained with abietic acid derivatives of the types referred to above. The preferred resinous tackifier is dehydroabietic acid which has a specific optical rotation in benzene of 49.5, an acid number of 158 and a saponification number of 164.
The action of the polyethylene in providing an indication of stretch is not clearly understood but it is believed to be a function of the long chain relation between the various components whereby stretching of the composition forces some of the polyethylene out of the mixture or solution and thereby causes the composition to change from a greenish to a whitish color.
The proportions of the various components of my new composition can be varied substantially while at the same time permitting the production of an acceptable insulating material. The polyethylene, being in the nature of an inert filler, can be varied within a relatively wide range and might even be omitted from the composition if it were not for two drawbacks resulting from such omission. The first of these is that the resulting composition would not have any means for indicating the optimum stretch of the material and thus it would be diflicult to determine when the tape has been stretched enough to put it in condi- 4 tion for proper sealing. The polyethylene also acts to restrict the creep of the other materials and in this way controls the creep of the composition.
The other materials cooperate with the polyethylene to reduce the eilect of thermal shock on the polyethylene component. Polyethylene, alone, if heated and then chilled abruptly, would shatter.
The butyl rubber component has the eil'ect of imparting rubberiness to the composition and also tends to provide physical strength which is lacking in the polyethylene. Thus, it butyl rubber were omitted from the composition, the resulting composition does not stretch at all, and even in the presence of 5% of butyl rubber, the material is not very resilient and is short, that is, has a tendency to break upon stretching.
when the proportion of butyl rubber is increased to above 25%, the resulting material is quite weak and is diiilcult to process and handle.
Usually, the composition contains a mixture of low molecular weight polymerized isobutylene and a higher molecular weight polymerized isobutylene. Here again, the proportions of these components are susceptible to considerable variation. When the low molecular weight isobutylene polymer is absent, the material lacks tackiness and is short and breaks easily. This condition obtains even when as much as 4% of the low molecular weight isobutylene polymer is present.
When more than 25% isobutylene polymer (low molecular weight) is present, the composition becomes very tacky and flows when heated, so much so, that a composition containing 30% or the lower molecular weight polymer cannot be processed on a calender at all for it sticks to the rolls and cannot be removed.
The higher molecular weight isobutylene polymer has a tendency to reduce the stretch of the composition but it improves the resiliency oi the composition. In the absence of this material, the composition is quite weak and short, i. e., it breaks easily, and even when as much as 5% of this material is present, this condition still exists to some degree. When as much as 40% of the higher molecular weight isobutylene polymer is present, the material becomes very tough, does not stretch easily and has a hard, horny appearance. The combined amounts of the isobutylene polymers can be varied, accordingly, between about 9% and 65% of the composition.
The isobutylene polymers are commercially available products identified by the molecular weights as given above. The molecular weights of these polymers are determined by the Staudinar method of determining intrinsic viscosity and viscosity average molecular weight as disclosed in the Standard Inspection Laboratory Circular No. 320.01 dated February 28, 1944.
The tackifier produces the tackiness and sealing effect which characterizes the new composition. It the tackifier is omitted, the composition stretches but does not seal readily. When about 1% of the tackifier is added, the extensibility or stretch of the material is increased substantially and the tackiness is increased sufliciently to provide some sealing action. The maximum amount of the tackifier is limited to about 20% inasmuch as, above this proportion, the tackifier renders the material very sticky and short so that it is difllcult' to process. When as much as 25% of the tackifier is present, the material becomes so tacky or sticky that it cannot be processed on a calender roll to reduce it to sheet or tape iorm.
which is satisfactory for use under many conditions. However, for commercial use and production, the best results are obtained when the com position contains components in about the following proportions:
Per cent Polyethylene, about 20,000 molecular weight 50 Butyl rubber 13 /2 Polymerized isobutylene,
100,000 to 115,000 molecular weight 22 /2 Polymerized isobutylene,
10,000 to 20,000 molecular weight Resinous tackifler 4 This composition stretches readily but is quite tough so that it breaks only when subjected to very strong stretching forces, it has a slightly tacky but not sticky surface and is or a faintly greenish color when unstretched, changing to a whitish color when stretched sufllciently to render its creep effective for sealing action. The material recovers slowly, unlike rubber, but nevertheless will return substantially to its unstretched condition when relieved of tension. It
is the pressure exerted by the creep of the material which apparently causes the material to flow together and thereby bond or cohere so completely as to form a substantially homogeneous body.
The composition is susceptible to further modification. Thus, for example, a single isobutylene polymer can be used instead of the isobutylene polymers described in the specific example and the examples given above. The average unit molecular weight of this single polymer should be about the same as the average of the combined unit molecular weights of the two isobutylene polymers. Thus, for example, an isobutylene polymer having a molecular weight of about 60,- 000 to 75,000 can be substituted in an equal amount by weight for the combined amounts of the two isobutylene polymers referred to in the specific example. The ultimate result is about the same for it appears that the degree of polymerization of this material controls its strength imparting and resilient properties. From the preceding description of typical compositions embodying the present invention, it will be apparent that I have provided a composition which has the stability under variations of temperature and in the presence of ozone which is lacking from the prior rubber tapes and rubbery insulating materials. My new composition is useful under conditions where the prior rubbery insulating materials are not satisfactory. Moreover, it has the additional property of improved appearance due to its color. It provides a stronger bond between the various laminations of the material and it has a far greater shelf life than prior insulating tapes and the like.
As indicated above, the material is susceptible to considerable modification in the proportions of its several components, and, therefore, the example given above should be considered as illustrative of the invention and not as limiting the scope of the following claims.

Political calls and procto's

Man, am I ever glad the election is over. I am one who always tries to answer the phone but it got to where my phone was ringing off the hook from daylight to dark the last two weeks of the race. Most of the calls were from some overcompensated politician or someone that wanted to become one and they each had a plan for creating jobs. This job creation business was fine coming from an outsider, but each incumbent that said "I have a plan to create jobs", I would shout into the phone and ask what they were waiting on since they were already in office! Create some, darn it!
About a week before Election Day, I got smart, and each time a real person would call from an unknown number, I would answer the phone with my down home black dialect I learned from watching Flip Wilson when he does Geraldine in that falsetto voice. The conversation would go like this; I would answer, "Hello", (Geraldine would have been proud) and if it was a Republican calling, they would ask for Mr. Vickers, and I would say, "Who?", and they would say "Mr. Vickers." Then I would say, "Dis' him." Click!
If, on the other hand, if it was a Democrat calling; when I said "Hello" and they asked, "Could I speak to Mr. Vickers, please?" "Dis' him." Lord have mercy Jesus, you never heard such an outpouring of how bad I needed to get out and vote and get all my people to vote and more than that, how bad I needed to send some money to Democrat headquarters.
I actually enjoyed answering the phone the last week before the election, but the week after was tough. I had to get a colonoscopy. It was time since I was 65.
I went through all the routine. I must say that night before was rough as sandpaper but I showed up at the doctor's office on time and finally was taken to the back by a nurse and placed in a stall. I could hear other people snoring loudly, I thought. Turned out, they weren't snoring. The nurse said the other patients were just "letting out some air, but you can call it snoring if it makes you feel better." I sure am glad it was just air because there was a lot of it!
Finally, it came my turn and I was glad to get out of that room and into one where there was no snoring. They gave me a pill and left. In a few minutes they came back, rolled me on my side and told me to relax. Sure.
The next thing I know, the doctor woke me up, telling me I was in good shape but that I needed to come back in two years and have another 'scope'. At that point, I snored real loud one time. I couldn't help it. I tried not to but I just had to snore, and I do mean snore. I don't know how all that air got in there. The doctor frowned. I started to apologize but had to snore again. It sounded like somebody squeezing the life out of a goose.
I told the doctor that if the Good Lord had seen fit for me to make it this long and be in good shape up in there, that "you have seen the last of me," and just to emphasize the point, I snored again!

Physically active ways to become involved in your community
Dec 19, 2011, 6 a.m.
You probably already understand how community volunteering allows you to do your part for the neighborhood, meet new people and improve your self-esteem. But did you know that volunteering can also be a great way to burn calories? A number of community service opportunities require quite a bit of moving around. If you've been trying to get out of community volunteering with the age-old "I have no time" excuse, you can kill two birds with one stone by participating in one of the following community service opportunities.
Humane society
Foster your love of animals with this wonderful volunteer opportunity. You can work in as much exercise as you want by volunteering as a dog walker. After being cooped up in a kennel all day long, Humane Society dogs will definitely appreciate taking strolls outside with a friendly visitor.
A number of communities are currently taking part in beautification campaigns. One of the easiest ways to clean up a neighborhood's image is to fill it with shrubs and flowers. Volunteer gardeners are enlisted to plant, weed and water flowers, thus bringing life to a dreary landscape. Gardening works several of the body's major muscle groups, including the abdominals, back, legs and arms. Shoveling dirt is every bit as effective a strengthening regimen as lifting weights in the gym, and it costs a whole lot less.
Coaching youth sports
Without the hard work and dedication of adult volunteers, America's youth sports programs would immediately fall apart. It isn't an easy job, but coaching youth sports can be highly rewarding. Better yet, by showing kids how to dribble a ball or hit a home run, you'll be burning calories while having a great time.
National parks
Keeping America's backyard beautiful takes a lot of work. Every day, thousands of volunteers help sustain the natural beauty of Yellowstone, Glacier and a variety of other national parks. Although some of the volunteer jobs are sedentary in nature, others require quite a bit of moving around. To get a good workout, volunteer to clean up campsites, lead nature walks or assist in restoration projects.

Album Rating: 4.5amazing, where hope and daylight die and loud music of the sky are fucking incredible
3rd best summoning
Album Rating: 5.0Vak you know it bro
Rob what are the top 2?
Minas Morgul and Dol Guldur
Album Rating: 5.0Minas is up there for me too, but Dol Guldur is near the bottom for me
You know which one's been growing on me tho, LMHSYF. Keeps getting better
all their albums are goo,except debut.
I still can't understand how you don't dig Dol Goldur. I mean just take the first track Nightshade
Forests. The trem on this one is strong. Pay attention to the vocals throughout the song and their
cadences. Is their anything like that in metal? It's pure genius. The synths, the atmosphere,
everything is perfect. I think you just need to get really high one day and let the album
sink in more. As a whole it's just their best.
Album Rating: 4.5just heard Dol Guldur for the first time and nothing really clicked with me the way this or Minus Morgal did the first listen. Obviously too early to get an opinion on it, guessing there's alot more to take in.
Album Rating: 4.0I didn't like Dol Guldur as much as stronghold or minas the first time i heard it but it's pretty great
Digging: Galar - De Gjenlevende
Album Rating: 5.0Dude, I love Dol Guldur. Being near the bottom only means it's a low 4.5 and not a high one :D
Nightshade Forests (the EP) is where it's at tho. Perfect transition between Dol Guldur and this
Album Rating: 4.0 "Being near the bottom only means it's a low 4.5"
haha damn dude. Is this your all time favorite band?
Album Rating: 5.0No actually haha, but they're close
Album Rating: 4.0@ yeah Atari, thought you knew
Keyblade is on every page of a summoning thread
Album Rating: 4.0Nightshade Forests is brilliant and deserves more recognition.
Album Rating: 5.0Dun you know it haha
But yeah Nightshade is amazing
Album Rating: 4.5need to get the eps, only dl'd from minas to newest
Album Rating: 4.0weren't the songs on nightshade forests originally meant to be on dol guldur?
Album Rating: 4.5wikipedia says they were left over songs, so I guess so
Album Rating: 5.0Yeah they were, except for one which was made specifically for the EP. They're really different in sound to Dol Guldur and dare I say, better
Album Rating: 4.0haha i'll jam it in a bit listening to dol guldur right now m/
