In terms of actual skill, who is more talented between Federer and young Nalbandian?

Federer took him out at the 2004 Australian, 2005 US Open and then 2006 French Open. 2006 French Open is hard to call. However, you are right even if he had beaten Federer he was unlikely to win any of those slams.
Again what slams was a dedicated Nalbandian going to win? The 2006 Australian Open was his golden chance, but he choked the semi final against Baghdatis.
I repeat
Roland Garro- Coria, Federer, Ferrero and Nadal were better.
Rebound Ace-Federer, Safin and Roddick better
US Open-Federer, Hewitt, Roddick and Safin better
Wimbledon-Federer, Hewitt and Roddick better.
Even indoors where he is at his best, Safin and Federer are better. Nalbandian's strength much like Federer was the ability to be great on every surface. Before the surface homogenisation, Nalbandian was the 2nd best all round player.
It just amazes me a guy, who had a losing record to ALL, but Davydenko of his other great peers is thought by some to be able to dominate them had he been motivated.
In RG 2006 Nalbandian was leading easily a set and a break up and he got injured. 2004 AO was a very close match, could've gone either way. Specially if Nalbandian had won the first set where he had his chances. Considering Ferrero was in the SF and Safin could barely move in the final, it wouldn't be crazy to say he could've won there. And even in RG 2006, Nadal wasn't the beast he was later on and Nalbandian match-ups well with him. In USO 2005 Federer won very comfortable.
And about this:
"Roland Garro- Coria, Federer, Ferrero and Nadal were better.
Rebound Ace-Federer, Safin and Roddick better
US Open-Federer, Hewitt, Roddick and Safin better
Wimbledon-Federer, Hewitt and Roddick better."
He defeated Fed in both HC slams, so he can win against him there. Also on clay the matches Fed won were close and Nalby won some. He can beat Hewitt or Roddick everywhere. Against Safin and Fed he wouldn't be the favorite on HC but he can beat them, and he did. Don't see him beating Nadal on clay, or Fed on grass obviously.
There's no Dark Side of the Moon really, matter of fact it's all dark.

There is a draw that brings us back into the fold of the forest, it is a sportsman's drive. Even dogs can sense it. They yip and pace at the back door with the first appearance of a shotgun. They know it is their time too.
This indescribable draw of the season does not solely affect just sportsmen and women. It beckons to all members of the outdoor community, from hikers to paddlers, bikers to birders and beyond.
Whether a photographer or a leaf peeper, a rock climber or a trail runner, the autumn woods beckon. And we simply must answer the call. For we recognize that autumn will exit before before too long.
Soon, the ski season will overtake the landscape, encapsulating it in cold, drab monotones as winter begins to settle in. Autumn offers a sampling of the best of all seasons, with bluebird days backlighting a snow capped mountain peak backdropped by a colorful landscape that yields a bounty of natural harvests.
Forget about sports, put down the remote and pull yourself out of the chair. Now is the time to get out and enjoy the finest season of the year, the High Holy Days of the Woods and Waters.
Don't gulp the season down all at once. Sip autumn's days slowly and savor them for a time when winter's bitterness is in command of the land. Quench yourself in fall's fullness and experience the season as it ripens, it is truly the sweetest time of the year.
Who is the average American hunter?
According to the most recent National Survey on Hunting and Fishing, conducted in 2006, 87 million US residents aged 16 years and older participated in wildlife related recreational activities. This number represents nearly 38 percent of the entire US population.
A total of 12.5 million people described themselves as hunters, with 86 percent primarily pursuing big game, 38 percent seeking small game and 18 percent hunting migratory birds such as ducks and geese. This figure is down from 13 million hunters in 2001.

Press release from PR Newswire
Aurigny Air Services Goes Jet with the E195
Thursday, October 03, 2013
Aurigny Air Services Goes Jet with the E19506:36 EDT Thursday, October 03, 2013
SALZBURG, Austria, Oct. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Guernsey-based regional carrier Aurigny Air Services has signed a firm contract with Embraer Commercial Aviation for one E195 jet. The transaction was announced today at a press briefing in Salzburg at the annual general meeting of the European Regions Airline Association (ERA ? www.eraa.org). The firm order will be included in Embraer's 2013 third quarter backlog. Delivery is scheduled in the first semester of 2014.
The E195 is the first jet aircraft to be added to the Aurigny Air Services fleet. The airline currently flies turboprops on six daily frequencies on its principal route between the London Gatwick Airport and Guernsey. With 122 slim seats in single-class layout, the E195 will enable the carrier to increase the number of daily flights to eight and offer much-needed additional capacity.
"The E195 has proven to be an ideal aircraft for high-volume, high-frequency markets," said Paulo Cesar Silva, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "I'm confident Aurigny will appreciate the E195's low operating costs and high reliability when it introduces the jet on its flagship route."
"The acquisition of the E195 is a major step forward for our company," said Mark Darby, CEO of Aurigny Air Services. "The London Gatwick route is very important for us. We've been mandated by the State of Guernsey to increase capacity and upgrade the quality of our overall service so we decided to move up to a jet. The E195 was the natural choice."
Since they entered revenue service in 2004, the E-Jets family has received more than 1,300 orders. The company recently delivered the 1,000th production aircraft to Republic Airways of the USA. Currently, E-Jets are flying with 64 airlines from 45 countries. In Europe, 24 airlines have added E-Jets to their fleets. The versatile 70- to 130-seat, four-aircraft family is flying with low cost airlines, regional and mainline carriers. Collectively, the E-Jets fleet has accumulated more than 10 million flight hours.
About Aurigny Air Services
Aurigny Air Services was launched in 1968. Today, the Guernsey Airport based operator employs around 290 staff throughout the Channel Islands, UK and France. Aurigny which carried its nine millionth passengers early this year deploys turboprop aircraft on scheduled services between Guernsey, Jersey and Alderney, and to destinations in the UK and Continental Europe.

Maria Bamford
Maria Bamford has a meek voice and a biting mixture of sarcasm, introspection, and merciless impersonation. She's a Comedy Central fixture, has guest starred on "Louie" and had a recurring role on the latest season of "Arrested Development." Her humor centers frequently on her personal struggles -- including bipolor disorder and suicidal thoughts -- and our culture's insensitivity toward people with mental illness. The New Yorker, commenting on her web series "Ask My Mom," called her "hilarious and surprising, and also existentially frightening." Shows 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium. Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 at the door). For more see UAATix.com.
Our shoes, our souls
We might not be a state known for frills and furbelows, but Alaskans are passionate about their footwear. (Have doubts? Just spark a conversation with someone from Southeast about XtraTuf's move to China). The Anchorage Museum's new exhibit "Footnotes: Shoes with Stories to Tell" will explore the function and aesthetics of Alaska's unique shoe culture, from ceremonial mukluks to heeled slippers worn by Gold Rush dancing girls. The majority of the items are pulled from the museum's collection of more than 400 examples. Highlights include high-heeled XtraTufs custom-made for Mrs. Alaska and a sneaker snatched from a zoo visitor by Binky the polar bear. Open Friday (runs through Feb. 16) at the Anchorage Museum, 625 C St.
Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks
has long confounded efforts to categorize his sound -- though some combination of folk, jazz, swing, and country are usually mentioned. What is certain is that he'll bring his signature acerbic humor to the proceedings when he takes the stage at the Discovery Theatre on Saturday (he'll also perform in Palmer at Vagabond Blues on Sunday). Hicks' best known songs are "I Scare Myself" and "Canned Music," though if you run into him after the show you might ask him "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?" Tickets are $35 at centertix.net.
48 Hour Film Challenge
If you didn't realize Anchorage has a burgeoning local filmmaking scene, now's as good a time as ever to check it out. The 48 Hour Film Challenge pits amateur movie makers against the clock to come up with films from start to finish while incorporating a few required prompts and getting it all done in one weekend. The results are, predictably, a mixed bag, but with a lively crowd and the Bear Tooth as a venue, it promises to be a fun night out. 10:30 p.m. Oct. 10, tickets are $5.

Wie back on women's trophy trail
By Mark Ledsom
EVIAN, France (Reuters) – Teenage prodigy Michelle Wie is
resetting her sights on the women's game this week, five days
after narrowly missing out on her lifelong dream to qualify for
the U.S. Masters.
Bidding to become the first female to play in a men's
major, the 15-year-old schoolgirl from Hawaii made it to the
last eight of last week's U.S. Amateur Public Links tournament
before losing in matchplay format to the eventual winner.
Wie was hoping to win the event, thereby earning an invite
for next year's Masters.
"I was disappointed with the result but pleased with how I
played," Wie told reporters after arriving here for the women's
$2.5 million Evian Masters. "Hopefully I'll have more chances
in the future."
Few who have seen Wie in action would challenge that
The six-foot (1.83-meter) Wie is already out-hitting most
of her women rivals, and many of the men, with regular drives
of 300-yards plus.
In January 2004 she became only the fourth female, and the
youngest overall, to play an event on the men's PGA Tour,
missing the cut by one stroke.
In her second crack at the men's circuit, in this month's
John Deere Classic, Wie missed the cut by two shots.
The American looks set to become the first female to make a
men's cut and maybe even become a regular on the men's tour.
"Obviously I'd love for that to happen one day," Wie said.
"I learn so much from the men and it's really fun.
"They're awesome players and awesome people so I really
love being with them. I can't really explain it beyond that,
it's just something I've always wanted to do."
Wie, yet to win her first senior tournament, comfortably
handled the questions posed at a packed news conference,
including the almost inevitable comparisons with men's world
number one Tiger Woods.
Asked about predictions she will beat Woods by the time she
turns 20, Wie said: "I hope to do it before then."
On her ambitions this season, she added: "I want to win at
least one tournament…because I've been so close all year
long. I've come to the last big step so now I just have to make
that step to win."
Despite still putting her studies before her golf, Wie has
shone on the women's circuit this year.
The teen-ager was a runner-up at the SBS Open and the LPGA
Championship, where she was beaten by Swedish world number one
Annika Sorenstam.
Nine-times major winner Sorenstam, 34, will be among those
challenging Wie in a strong Evian field which also includes
American Juli Inkster and Australia's Karrie Webb.
It is a daunting line-up but for Wie it seems there are
other things to worry about.
"I go back to school at the end of August," she sighed.
"I'm really looking forward to meeting up with my friends
again but I'm not happy that we have to wear a uniform this
year. I've heard it's really strict."

STILLWATER, Okla. ? Oklahoma State wrestling coach John Smith announced the signing of seven student-athletes to National Letters of Intent today. The incoming class of signees is regarded as one of the nation?s top recruiting classes and is heavy on in-state recruits.
The incoming class is highlighted by Chris Perry (Stillwater, Okla./Stillwater), Jon Morrison (Orland Park, Ill./Carl Sandburg), Dallas Bailey (Catoosa, Okla./Catoosa) and Albert White (Lynwood, Ill./Northern Iowa Area Community College), all of whom are considered blue chip national recruits. Both Perry and Morrison are ranked by major national publications as the No. 1 wrestlers in their respective weight classes going into their senior year, with Bailey ranked as the preseason No. 2 prep in the nation in his weight class. White is a 2008 junior college national champion who was 200-4 during his prep career at St. Rita HS in Chicago and has a Fargo national title on his resume.
Perry (No. 3), Bailey (No. 6) and Morrison (No. 9) are all ranked among revwrestling.com?s top 10 recruits in the nation, regardless of weight class. No other school in the country has more than one wrestler from that list signed as part of this year?s class.
This year?s group of prep wrestlers in the state of Oklahoma is considered to be one of the best in recent memory, and the Cowboys succeeded in keeping the homegrown talent in-state, with Perry, Bailey, Blake Rosholt (Ponca City HS), Ladd Rupp (Perry HS) and Zach White (Woodward HS) all signing on to continue their wrestling careers at Oklahoma State.
?History has always told us that without good in-state wrestlers, it?s almost impossible to win a national championship,? Smith said. ?If you look at our championship teams, it has been important that Oklahoma wrestlers are a key part of what happens. It?s nice that we had an in-state group like this and it?s something we should expect and work hard for, not something we should settle for every four or five years.?
Perry, Bailey, Rosholt and Zach White all have family connections to Cowboy wrestling. Perry?s father Mark was a two-time All-American at Oklahoma State in 1984 and 1985 and he is the nephew of John Smith. Bailey?s father was a Cowboy All-American in 1983 and 1986. Rosholt?s oldest brother Jake was a three-time NCAA Champion for OSU and his older brothers Jared and Adam both currently wrestle for the Cowboys. Zach White is the nephew of OSU coach John Smith.
?There are a lot of reasons to be excited about this class,? Smith said. ?There are legacy wrestlers whose dads wrestled here in Chris Perry and Dallas Bailey. I wrestled with their fathers and it is exciting to see their kids coming into the program now. It shows that people believe in the program.?
All tolled, Oklahoma State?s incoming group of recruits have won 15 state championships between them and that number should increase when they wrestle at the state championships at the end of this coming season.
?Overall, this is a very strong class and it comes at a time when we need to have a class like this,? Smith said. ?My staff has worked hard in recruiting and they deserve a lot of credit. Developing a strong room is the start of being able to compete for championships. Each of the wrestlers we are bringing in as part of this class is being brought in on a need basis. We really feel like this class fills slots that will give us strength and more options as we move forward.?

Dr. Myla Aronson interviewed by NBCnews.com about biodiversity in big citiesCan we find new species in a metropolis? In the NBCnews.com story about the discovery of 30 newly discovered fly species in Los Angeles, Dr. Myla Aronson provides additional insights from her studies about bird species in urban centers. Even though urban areas only retain about 8 percent of the bird species that otherwise would have lived in the area, Dr. Aronson and her team found that 20 percent of known bird species live in big cities. Bird species found in big cities reflect the species that live in the surrounding natural habitat. read more
In her study which included 54 cities around the world, New York City and Singapore stood out as particularly diverse -- NYC because of its spacious city parks and Singapore because of the national park just outside its city limits. It is important to plant native shrubs and not just grass and trees in cities to keep biodiversity high, Myla Aronson says. Read the article on NBCnews.com

Senator Backs Grazing Groups Being Eligible for Hunting Tags
By Dawn House, The Salt Lake Tribune
Jul. 30–BICKNELL — Ranchers losing grazing rights on public lands should become eligible for hunting tags that they can sell on the open market, a state senator said Tuesday.
Sen. Dennis Stowell, R-Parowan, told 100 ranchers at the Utah Cattlemen's Association conference that sporting groups and private landowners are awarded hunting permits, while public lands ranchers "have been left out of the loop."
Hunting tags given out by the Division of Wildlife Resources and sold to the public through auctions can fetch tens of thousands of dollars. For now, though, the only organizations allowed to auction the permits are nonprofits who use money from the tags on projects that help wildlife.
Stowell said hunting tags also could be given to grazing groups when livestock allotments are cut back. The money in turn, would be used to improve the rangelands so that cattle can again graze. And when the number of livestock returns to prior grazing levels, the hunting tags would be withheld.
Private landowners can sell a certain number of big-game hunting permits through the state's Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit program, based on habitat conditions and herd populations.
Landowners in turn, must provide 10 percent of overall permits to the public. And some of those permits, such as elk tags, can go for as much as $12,000. By contrast, public elk permits cost $280 and are awarded through a public drawing.
Stowell said changes in the program could be accomplished through legislation or by administrative rule.
Craig McLaughlin, wild- life section chief for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, declined direct comment on the new proposal but said an existing cooperative wildlife management permit program is designed to allow landowners to receive value for wildlife that uses private lands.
"Public lands belong to the public," he said. "They are not private. There's quite a difference there in terms. [The proposal] would be auctioning off or selling a public resource. That would be a concern."
Stowell cautioned ranchers to cooperate with sporting groups "because if you go up against them, you'll lose every time."
Cattlemen's Association President Gary Hallows said he supports the idea of grazing groups becoming eligible for hunting tags, as long as the permits go to livestock owners.
"It just might work," he said. "But there would have to be a clear formula on exactly who would get the additional tags."

APTDC planning to introduce an all-terrain vehicle
The scenic and lush settings of Rushikonda will soon offer several added entertainment features for tourists and visitors.
Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) is planning to introduce an all-terrain vehicle in the Rushikonda beach. "The trial run for the vehicle was done last week. We will be launching it shortly," A Srinivas, General Manager (Hotels) of APTDC, told The Hindu. The all-terrain vehicle will be an added attraction for tourists, after the APTDC boat rides were stopped at Rushikonda last year.
The corporation also has plans to improve the facilities in the beach and beautify the spot.
There are plans to include shower cubicles, sun bath decks, landscaping, pathways and foot courts.
Beautiful spots
"It's all in a nascent stage. The beach is one of the most beautiful spots in the city, but needs to be developed properly," Mr. Srinivas said.
Rushikonda also has good options for water sports activities like sea surfing.
The sea being relatively safer is a preferred spot by many water sports enthusiasts. To attract tourists and offer more entertainment options, APTDC has initiated new projects in its Jungle Bells resorts at Tyda. Adventure sports activities in collaboration with an adventure sports association called 'Freekouts' from Bangalore have been started at Tyda.
Several adventure sports activities like rope balancing, rock climbing, trampoline and zorbing are conducted at Tyda.

Junior Tennis Discussion
As many of you have noticed, the Junior forum has been removed. Discussions regarding junior training, USTA rules and other junior development threads should now be directed to the Tips/Instruction section.
We will no longer allow the discussion of any specific junior players. Any threads/posts regarding specific junior players will be removed. Persistence in posting the names of juniors can lead to your account being banned.
Thank you,
Talk Tennis Admin
So, the consensus have decided to eliminate the Junior Thread in its entirety?
Yes, we will not reopen the Junior forum. You can however have discussions regarding junior training, USTA rules and other junior development threads in the Tips/Instruction section. We also will no longer allow the discussion of any specific junior players.
Brittany, TW
Junior thread has been created:
Please bring back the Junior forum! It's not working in the Tips/Instruction section. The qualified coaches/parents have left and it's just full of "how to beat a pusher" and "I serve over 100mph" threads. Ugh.
Bring it back and tighten the rules on discussing specific juniors.
I completely agree.
Please bring it back and restrict those who brake the rules.
It's not fair that people can discuss adult tennis players which pretty much reached their highest level and ban juniors who are still developing to reach their full potential.
Ban misbehaved adults! Think about Kids! Change the privacy policy if needed to prevent any issues in the future! There must be another solution...
Kudos to TW for standing their ground. Keep the chatter in tips and instruction. I hated reading posters slam kids who are trying to be their best. This is a positive step and a strong message to tennis parents.
The junior forum could of been named after one kid. All the posts always went to that same kid. If junior players wanted to post on ttw they can. It was always just insane parents in the juniors section.
At this time, the Junior forum is still closed. There is currently no discussions to reopen it.
/Thread closed.

With the 59th pick in the NFL draft, the New England Patriots select Sylvester Williams, DT, UNC. We are surprised Williams has fallen this far in the draft and are more than happy to take the value pick and bolster their defense line in a big way. The patriots are excited to revamp their defense with Williams and Elam.

We hoped, perhaps unrealistically, we might find an Elam or Cyprien here. But Swearinger is a good hitter, has good ball skills, and a S is of primary concern after the losses of Reed and Pollard.

This post is BABIP-lucky.
With the 1st pick in the 3rd round, the Kansas City Chiefs select
David Amerson, CB/S, N.C. State
Talented and versatile, David strengthens a defensive backfield that needs help.
Witty signature.
54. Dolphins (from Colts) - BlackPete Ibold - - Chris Long, OT, Oregon
Just saw this on the recap and thought BlackPete Ibold was the name of the player. Maybe he was in the Key and Peele East-West Game.
With the 51st pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select David Amerson, CB, North Carolina State.
David Amerson, CB
School: North Carolina State | Conference: ACC
College Experience: Junior | Hometown: Greensboro, NC
STRENGTHS: Amerson has rare height and length for the position and actually played primarily at safety in high school. He has the size and ballskills for the next level, but scouts are also impressed with his competitive drive to get better, showing vast improvement between his freshman and sophomore seasons. And the coaching staff says there is no problem keeping Amerson hungry, as he is one of the top practice players each week. Could prove a fit in a press-based scheme. Highly aggressive defender who intercepted many of his passes reading the eyes of quarterbacks and jumping short routes.
WEAKNESSES: Concerns about his fluidity and straight-line speed. Typically lined up in off-man and zone coverage in college, but his lack of elite speed would make that a difficult fit in the NFL. Aggression makes him vulnerable to double-moves. Amerson was beaten soundly in several-highly anticipated matchups in 2012, which contributed to losses to Tennessee and Clemson.
Oh crap. Hold one sec
Witty signature.
Okeedokee, with a time machine, the KC Chiefs go back to the beginning the 3rd round and select Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, Connecticut
1.21 Gigawatts!?!?
Witty signature.

Time for some damage control.
After causing a stir—and ESPN pulling his classic opening theme song from Monday Night Football—for comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler in a Fox interview, Hank Williams Jr. has publicly issued an apology via his website.
"I have always been very passionate about Politics and Sports and this time it got the Best or Worst of me," he starts.
MORE: ESPN Yanks Hank Williams Jr.'s Monday Night Football Theme After He Compares Obama to Hitler
"The thought of the Leaders of both Parties Jukin and High Fiven on a Golf course, while so many Families are Struggling to get by simply made me Boil over and make a Dumb statement and I am very Sorry if it Offended anyone. I would like to Thank all my supporters. This was Not written by some Publicist."
During a sit-down interview for Fox and Friends, Williams had stated, "It'd be like Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu," in reference to Obama's golf outings with conservative House Speaker John Boehner.
ESPN was quick to release a statement explaining their discontent with his remarks, "While Hank Williams Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight's telecast."

I love being outdoors, so i try and go hiking at least a couple times a week. There are couple of great dog parks in the Springs. I enjoy hanging out at the house watching a good TV series (NETFLIX). I really like live music and outdoor venues
Truthfully, I have not read a book in a while. I have been so busy with work. I am hoping to find some time to get back into reading. Technology has sort of robbed me of this pastime.

Autechre: Quaristice
Limited to 1000 copies and sold out in 12hrs means that if you forgot to check your email that day you would have missed out. Or maybe you were sick with the flu and missed out and are now trawling eBay (only 1 listing) for a chance to get your hands on this limited edition steel case for Autechre's 9th album.
The design is by The Designers Republic and I don't there is another company that could sell this design into a client or another band like Autechre that would buy it. Looking at the cover and then being told it's a TDR piece you say "oh yeah I can see that". Not knocking their work (big balls to do that) but it fits their M.O if you know what I mean.
If I had to describe the cover to a blind person I'd say "it's as if a chronic stutterer were in court and the court reporter was transcribing their testimony verbatim with white san serif type on a flat blue background."
But enough talk from me lets look at some photos courtesy of Martin Dixon Thanks for the use of the photos Martin.
Here's two more photos from Alex Young
The album was intended to be a digital release (and was a full 6 weeks before a physical release) but in a Clash Music feature Sean Booth was quoted;
"The actual product is the FLAC file – but I don't object to those who want to own something that they can holdâ€
As dumb as this sounds it's the first time I have heard of FLAC. But I'm going to start using that term to seem even more elite. MP3s!! pffttt… I only listen to FLAC and in HD 24/96 too.
The actual Clash Music feature is a good read. This quote from them on the brief to TDR is great
"Our brief was really, really specific†he explained "the idea was to be type based, neat and producty. We knew if we went to our normal designer he'd take the piss as he's just so creative he'd cut it right down. Designers Republic understood us immediately and the result is stunningâ€
Can't wait until I receive a brief with the word "producty".
The whole limited edition sold direct to fans is something NIN did well recently and for me is the future for many bands. Once you build a critcal mass of followers and you treat them well you can basically use them as a cash generating machine. A free digital album here, a few over priced tickets there and a limited edition USB stick for xmas. Everyone's happy.
The standard cover is essentially the same design but in blue. Although you lose the complete sexiness of the laser etched steel it still is a nice, if very designy cover.
The poster and other collateral (website, Myspace) all followed the same design style. Here's a poster (photos by Japanese Forms)
On a final note: Here's a review from an eager Youtube Vlogger. Try this: Press play and close your eyes. Then half way through open them and see if the guy talking matches his voice. He has a good "radio voice" and I mean that in a good sense. He just looks so young.
For those looking for an actual album review check out Pitchfork or this one on Amazon
Do you think bands will have a future selling "limited edition" physical copies of 100% digitally released albums?
Q: I initially read somewhere about where and how this laser etched cover was produced but now I have lost the link. Can anyone help?
People who bought the standard CD version of the album also got this awesome Limited Edition Autechre hat!
Not really I just found this in the office and it reminded me of the album :)
Update: thanks to Mark for his info on the Quadrange EP.AE. I forgot about this when posting.
Each track released as FLAC (lossless audio) had minimalist artwork associated with it, so in iTunes it will change per song. Oh I love this big white square song :)
I have shrunk these down here but you can grab them from Discogs. Is this what you get from TDR if you're budget is really small. But hey it fits the theme of the other artwork and it ties in with the name. Quadrangle is one of the few shapes I remember from school. I don't know a rhombus from a trapezoid though.
They must charge per right angle :)
JAN 23, 2009 UPDATE: tDR is no longer. After 23 years they have closed shop. See article in CR here.

This is pretty sweet. Real modern, which can be a very good thing and a very bad thing. Hate to say something unrelated like this, (I tried to e-mail you and for some reason I couldn't) but you SERIOUSLY need to do an article on Skeletal Lamping by of Montreal.
We got the email no worries. I'll check the cover again. It wasn't something that wowed us from the get go. But we'll take another look
i agree about the Of Montreal one! i think its the inside that is more interesting tho..
Yeah it's the packaging that's interesting. If you read into it a little you'll see that it was practicly made for this site.
I read somewhere about how labour intensive it was to create this cover, differentiating type spaces and so on, (I'm not a designer). It would have been cool if you could have talked to tDR as you have done with other designers. This is one of my favorite covers in all of its 3 versions:
-Quaristice – the blue album*
-Quaristice Versions – the etched slipcase Limited Edition*
-Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae* – the last one Quadrange was only released digitally (flac) and was a compilation of previously released digital ep's and tDR designed different artwork for every song on the digital release. It's beautiful on my ipod. In my opinion Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae is the actual "album" even though it's in file format only. The other "versions" are cool but Quadrange does it for me!
*all of these "versions" are different but related music.
Here is a link to a page that has the Quadrange artwork + lots of other interesting ae info:
Thanks for the info. I'll update with the Quadrange artwork now.
This is a beautiful, systematic, mechanical design.
I was just reading this article after finding it on google, so imagine my suprise when I saw myself in it! So THIS is where all those hits have been coming from.
Kind of a shame that I look awful in that vid. Oh well. Thanks for not insulting me!
it was your voice that freaked me out. if I just heard the voice I'd imagine some TV presenter in his 40s.

Though not consistently dramatic, this Man Booker-longlisted book does have a voice of its own, says Jai Arjun Singh.
The first voice we hear in Andre Brink's new novel — longlisted for the Man Booker Prize earlier this year — is that of its protagonist, a young slave girl in a South African village. The year is 1832 and the legal emancipation of Cape slaves is on the horizon, but true autonomy is still far away. Philida's narrative is wise, quietly resilient, full of sadness about the past — including unfulfilled promises by her master's son Francois, with whom she has had four children — but also forward-looking in its way. Her descriptions are based on personal reference points: distant mountains are "blue and pale blue and paler blue, like old bruises getting fainter on your body"; a peculiar-looking man is like "a piece of knitting gone wrong". We will soon learn that Philida knows a good deal about knitting and also about bruising, external and internal.
At first it seems that the story will be told exclusively in her voice, but other colours and perspectives are to come: there are also first-person accounts — unevenly distributed over the first half of the book — by Francois (or Frans), by his father Cornelis Brink and by a former slave, Petronella, who now occupies something of an honoured place in the Brink household. The effect is that Philida, though clearly the central character, also becomes a slate on which other people's stories are written: the stories of the Brinks, of Petronella and of other slaves including an enigmatic man named Labyn, who has — in defiance of Christian persecution — turned for succour to the "Slamse" religion with its belief in a God named Allah.
One obvious function of the multi-narrator device is to show the reader the points of view — or at least the personal motivations — of people whose interests clash. Early on, one senses that the author is trying to portray the complexities of this social milieu by humanising the slave-owners: by depicting them as products of the beliefs of their age, and even making them vaguely likeable. Some of the passages involving the Brink family are self-consciously cute, with the corpulent lady of the house, Janna, being the subject of much broad comedy. Cornelis's voice is endearingly droll at times and he becomes an object of mirth when his son describes him as a small man, "strutting about the yard like a little bantam cockerel". And Frans comes across as a sensitive young man: introverted, effete, genuinely concerned about Philida's plight.
Reading on, however, I felt Brink was aiming for something more subtle. He could have made a facile point about the horrors of slavery by presenting the white masters as distant, forbidding figures, but paradoxically it is by making them accessible and even a little buffoonish that this story becomes even more disturbing (and at this point one should probably mention that Philida is partly based on a true incident and that the real-life Cornelis Brink was an ancestor of the author — which suggests that the white man's inheritance of guilt is a running subtext of this book).
Private banter
The Brinks have inner lives and idiosyncrasies; we hear their private banter as they play out a Hindi-movie-style family drama (son trying to rebel against father, mother sighing heavily in the background), and some of it has the texture of slapstick. But we can never forget that they are also people with unbridled power over the lives of their human "property". There is no missing Cornelis's smug bigotry and his obsession with the literal truth of the Bible, no escaping the fact that he is capable of ordering and overseeing the public rape of Philida by two slave-boys. Describing the hanging of a rebellious slave, he reflects that the other slaves didn't seem to be bothered at all, "which goes to prove that they don't have feelings like us". (It is more likely, of course, that the "us" are subtly afflicted by conscience and that the other slaves have their own survival to think about, in addition to being conditioned not to show emotion.) Notably, as the story continues, even Frans goes from being a likable figure to becoming increasingly fickle, the sort of young man who might easily be distracted from nobler callings by a glimpse of the pleasing ankles of the high-born lady his family wants him to marry.
Whether multiple voices were necessary to achieve these effects is another question. Their use makes Philida seem like a more formally complex work than it is: the device does little that could not have been realised with an omniscient narrator who allows us some time with each character in turn. When such a narrator does in fact emerge halfway through the story, it seems a random, belated decision — but it gives the book the grounding it needs, and lets us feel the full disturbing force of passages such as one set at a slave auction, where the lashes on a dead man's back must be counted and deemed to be not more than 39 (or not "too much more" than 39) if his owner is to be held not guilty under law.
Philida — does not have — nor does it reach for — the consistent dramatic intensity of a work like Toni Morrison's Beloved. It is chattier, more informal and perhaps a little too loosely structured (the narrative makes occasional, inconsistent shifts from present to past tense to no real purpose). But it picks its dramatic moments well as it contrasts the lives of slaves whose feet's soles are sometimes peeled right off with the lives of their privileged masters who get to wear shoes (but who are also dealing with their own minor hardships in a changing social climate). Through its tapestry of intersecting fortunes, one never loses sight of the girl who badly wants for her name to be written down in a family book — to be on the official record, as having existed — but who fears that her life is "a piece of knitting that is knitted by somebody else".
Keywords: Philida, Andre Brink, novel, slavery

'Tis the season for The Album Leaf
This winter California has seen more than its share of torrential rain, and The Album Leaf offers the kind of soundscapes which provide a perfect complement to the wet season; there isn't a better song than "Shine" to have a track of forceful pitter patter layered beneath it. Indeed, Jimmy LaValle's project is distinct mood music, and it will be coming to the Crepe Place for two nights this week, Tuesday, Jan. 11 and Wednesday, Jan. 12.
Although The Album Leaf may lend itself to distinct emotional interpretation, instrumental music is a funny thing. The electronically-based project has increasingly used vocals on latter albums, but in the absence of words, the emotion that one may project upon a given song may well have no relation to the feelings originally infused in it. Ironically, "The Light" may be the perfect soundtrack to a rainy day. But for all we know it was conceived on a sunny summer afternoon.
"There are songs that I've had that I feel [were written] when I was in a good space and happy," says LaValle. "Then a lot of people think those songs are really sad and vice versa. I think it's really cool how that works."

A mediation has its own personality. This is created by the relationship between counsel, settlement positions of the parties, direct participation by the decision makers and the emotional tension surrounding the dispute.
Few areas of alternative dispute resolution contain more emotion than "elder abuse" cases. When a (now grown-up) child entrusts a parent to a facility for the delivery of continued care, most experience the internal tension guilt and relief. There's tension between a family to manage, a job to go to and other responsibilites that make it impossible to care for a parent whose overall health situation is deteriorating.

On April 8, 2014, House Committee on Ways and Means Chair Dave Camp (R-MI) held a hearing on the "Benefits of Permanent Tax Policy for America's Job Creators." The hearing focused on the expiring business tax provisions that are made permanent or extended under Camp's recently released discussion draft of the "Tax Reform Act of 2014" (TRA). Unlike his Senate counterpart -- Senate Committee on Finance Chair Ron Wyden (D-OR) -- Camp is not very supportive of passing a tax extender package to extend retroactively the approximately 50 incentives that expired at the end of 2013, including several for advanced biofuels development. In fact, the TRA would eliminate most clean energy incentives. The House Ways and Means Hearing Advisory is available online.
Last week, the Senate Finance Committee approved its version of tax extender legislation, the "Expiring Provisions Improvement Reform and Efficiency (EXPIRE) Act." The EXPIRE Act includes extensions through December 31, 2015 (and retroactive to January 1, 2014) of the following key biofuels incentives that have expired: the Alternative Fuel Refueling Property Credit; the Second Generation Biofuel Producer Tax Credit; the Special Depreciation Allowance for Second Generation Biofuel Plant Property; the Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuels Credit; and the Alternative Fuel and Alternative Fuel Mixture Excise Tax Credit. A copy of the EXPIRE Act is available online. A summary of the bill is available online.
Whether a tax extenders package will pass this year depends on several factors. It is likely to be more difficult to pass in the House of Representatives than in the Senate.

The suddenly wide open Big Ten Leaders Division could get dicey on Saturday in college football betting action, when the Ohio State Buckeyes play host to the Wisconsin Badgers.
We've seen it time and time again this year. A Top 10 team in the country gets beaten once, and then all of a sudden it loses again to take itself out of any national consideration. It happened to the Florida State Seminoles, Texas A&M Aggies, and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and the fear is that it might happen to the Badgers as well. Last week's loss at the Michigan State Spartans was a brutal one. It was proof that this team really isn't ready for the big time, yet it also proved that there probably wasn't a team or a venue in the country in which it couldn't win at. That being said, the season really boils down to this for Wisconsin. A loss in this game would ruin virtually any hope of playing in the Big Ten Championship Game, and if that's the case, it'll be off to the Capital One Bowl or the Outback Bowl once again, seemingly always the venue for this team in recent years. The Badgers still rank No. 5 in the nation in scoring at 47.4 points per game and No. 6 in scoring defense at 13.6 points per game, and RB Montee Ball has still outscored all of their foes by the combined score of 114-95.
The Buckeyes have really had an awful year this season, and there is a real threat with games against Wisconsin, Purdue, Penn State, and Michigan, that they could miss a bowl game. It'd be devastating to think that this program, once so rich in history and tradition, could fall so flat, so fast, which makes this game all the more important. Winning out won't quite guarantee the Bucks a place in the Big Ten Championship Game, but it would put them just one other Penn State loss away from getting the job done and totally turning this season on its axis. Still, the offense has to get a whole heck of a lot better. Averaging 302.9 yards per game in this conference is a bit of an embarrassment, and the passing attack, without QB Terrelle Pryor, has only been good for 127.9 yards per game. That's No. 115 in the country, and four of the other five teams below OSU have triple option offenses. This defense is going to have to rule the day again as always, and if it allows much more than the 304.9 yards per game that it is averaging, it could be a long night for the hometown crowd.
Wisconsin Badgers @ Ohio State Buckeyes Pick: The Badgers haven't proven anything to us quite yet. The Buckeyes have had two weeks to prepare for this game, just as Michigan State did, and the end result might look shockingly similar. Don't be surprised if there is some magic for the hosts at the Horseshoe on Saturday.
College Football Pick: Ohio State Buckeyes +7 at Bookmaker Sportsbook.

The Guiyang school (Chinese: 潙仰宗; pinyin: Guīyǎng Zōng), or Weiyang school,[1] is one of the sects of Zen (禪 or 'Chán') Buddhism.
The Guiyang school was the first established house of the Five Houses of Chán.[2] Guiyang is named after master Guishan Lingyou (771–854) and his disciple, Yangshan Huiji (813–890).
Guishan was a disciple of Baizhang Huaihai, the Chinese Zen master whose disciples included Huangbo Xiyun (who in turn taught Línjì Yìxuán, founder of the Linji school).[3] After founding the Guiyang School, Yangshan moved his school to what is now modern Jiangxi.
The Guiyang school is distinct from the other schools in many ways, notably in its use of esoteric metaphors and imagery in the school's kōans and other teachings.[2]Hsuan Hua was the most known modern representative of the Guiyang school.

Absorption into the Linji school[edit]
Over the course of Song Dynasty (960–1279), the Guiyang school, along with the Fayan and Yunmen schools were absorbed into the Linji school. Chán master Hsu Yun, however, attempted to revive absorbed lineages. The attempt was successful regarding the Guiyang school.

On who was converted, all this is WIFOM, it can work either way. We have some really active townies so mafia choosing them would be reasonable. On the other hand, if they are aware of a quiet townie who has a power role, then that's an ideal candidate as well. We can't judge based on activity solely, that's my opinion.
This sounds more like an action activated upon death rather than before it.Since you are the ultimate evil, you have the power to convert someone to your side if you die.
Yes, it's activated upon death, but the conversion has to be set on the night apparently. I know this from the Spy:
Ah, well, I got out early, but there's only a little sleet. I hope more comes later. ^^;
I thought you handled the claim well, so there may be a chance yet that things can work in our favor.Oh right, thanks, ***!
Kill: ***
Time for the alternate kill choice, then.EDIT: Once set in the Night, it can't be changed in the Day.Neon Borealis, if I set a convert choice in here, will that just activate whenever I die, even if I somehow make it out of the coming day phase?
If so, Convert: ***
I just don't want to die in the next phase and have screwed up by not ever setting a convert.
But if I'm not understanding how the convert works, then please disregard this. ^^;

Okay, that had me confused, thanks for clearing that up.
From the messages, what I read:
Seems a mafia player had claimed to someone. Or they were being pressed for a claim (either in public or private)?I thought you handled the claim well, so there may be a chance yet that things can work in our favor.
FA had planned to kill someone else other than Paperhorse, but then she was reminded that their initial kill target wouldn't be killed. Since we already lost our doctor, it would not be an 'that person will likely be protected' issue. It might have been indicated somewhere before already but it does seem that mafia has a rolecop.Time for the alternate kill choice, then.
Master Mew is acting very strange to me... Why are you so pressed on voting Human? I don't think we can just assume that he was the one converted out of nowhere. There is no evidence so far that FA set the conversion on him, so it's weird that you say that with such assurance... Do you know something that the rest of us don't? Are you trying to vote a random townie out now since you yourself are mafia-aligned?

The Flavor Cop contacted me and told me that they got a hint from Froakie. The hint made them feel "weaker". The first thing that comes to mind is Roleblocker. I already know who the Town Roleblocker is, and it's not Froakie.
VOTE: Froakie
Not the best of cases, but with how right I've been with FinalArcadia being the Godfather with being "hidden", and the Spy "hearing", it's highly likely that Froakie is the Mafia Roleblocker. "Weaker", yeah, it's suspicious enough for me to warrant my vote.
@HumanDawn; It's anti-town because you didn't just out my vig-kill, you also very plainly announced that I had other abilities I hadn't used yet.
You've painted a massive target on my back and I think you did it so you could nightkill me without getting blamed, since now everyone knows my role, not just you.
I really hope you're Scum because if you did that as Town, I'm not likely to trust you with claims in the future.
3DS Friend Code: 2595-1198-0821
You distinctly said:
How exactly is that calling me Vanilla and doing me a favor?You're an even more likely convert target, because you have abilities that you didn't use before
Note that this is no gambit, I am legitimately very frustrated.
3DS Friend Code: 2595-1198-0821
Yeah, you're a Vanilla now. Favor done. You won't be a Nightkill target with a Spy out there.
What's with the change in attitude?
"we must lynch human because he's a probable convert target just like with everyone else, and it must be him because he's the most likely convert target for whatever reason even though that would be too obvious but lets lynch him anyway when he's trying to be of help and ignore him!!!!!"

Latest Chronic granulomatous disease Stories
TOWSON, Md., Feb.
Scientists at Emory University School of Medicine have identified a new type of anti-inflammatory compound that may be useful in treating a wide range of conditions, including neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers have found that an imbalance in the regulation of certain T cells—the cells in the body that fight off infection or attack the system in certain autoimmune diseases—may put certain people at a higher risk of having recurrent cases of Clostridium difficile, or C. Diff, infection.
Sometimes our immune defence attacks our own cells.
Researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), among others, have identified an important cog in the molecular machinery of plant immunity - a discovery that could help crop breeders produce disease-resistant varieties to help ensure future food security.
Investigators at the National Institutes of Health have observed that the survival rate of people with a rare immunodeficiency disease called chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is greatly improved when even very low levels of microbe-killing molecules are present.
A deficiency in one of the immune system's enzymes affects the severity of autoimmune diseases such as MS, and explains why the course of these diseases can vary so much.
Two genetic mutations that may put individuals at increased risk of fungal infections have been identified by scientists from UCL and Radboud University, increasing understanding about the genetic basis of these infections and potentially aiding the development of new treatments.
New findings related to an uncommon genetic disorder may impact diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
