I totally subscribe to this. IDK, sometimes I resent it when people try and "get to the head of the class" without putting in the required work, money and time into it. Getting a good drum tone takes a long time, it's nothing like a guitar where you can just buy a different pedal. I've spent many thousands of dollars on heads, hundreds of hours experimenting with different head combos and tunings, I practice the way I hit the drums on a regular basis, and expend much mental energy trying to play and sound good.
Perhaps I'm being harsh, because when I did most of my experimenting, there was no one to ask advice from, no internet. So I guess I can't blame them for trying to save some ag. But I do anyway lol. If you don't work hard for it, I'm sorry I don't think you deserve it, that's my personal feeling towards it. It's larger than that though. The experience you get from trying and failing gives you something you just can't get from not failing. In the end it's YOUR ears that need to be pleased. Mary this is not directed at you, I am in agreement with you that people need to experience things for themselves.

I know I'm not alone in having these days. I was just wondering what are your favorite ways to reconnect and restore the warm fuzziness.
me: C (33), wife to P (35), mom to peanut butter (1/10), porky (5/11), and dumplin' (10/12).
Hi there! I call my Little Miss "peanut butter" as well.
When we've had a particularly bad day, and it's been just several hours of me yelling "NO!" at her and I don't feel like we've connected on any kind of positive level in hours or days, the first thing I do is take a break. Off to Papa she goes. I actually get a break every night, and every weekend. She's clingy, and oh boy do I need those breaks.
Once I'm ready to like her again (I always love her, but there are times when I really don't like her very much.) I re-insert myself into the family dynamic (Translation: Put the now-empty wine bottle in recycling and log out of Pinterest.) and engage her. If she's ready to deal with me (and sometimes she isn't, and it might hurt my feelings, but I probably hurt her feelings too) then I'll give a hug, and we do something we both like to do together. Usually this just means go outside and lounge around in the sun like plants.
Just remember, they get sick of us too.
And on 09/23/2011, we were three; husband, daughter, and me!
A timely topic indeed! I had a horrible evening with my son last night.
I would say try to get a break- some time to yourself to regroup- and then try to have someone else watch the baby so you can give the toddler total focused attention for a coule of hours. don't do anything else but focus on them- play with toys, snuggle, read books, just be really focused and attentive and that helps to reconnect and calm them down.
I like the idea of going outside and snuggling. We have a hammock that he likes to sit in. Reading books together, playing with bubbles in the bathtub, making play dough "cookies" are all things he loves to do with me. I need to find some time when I don't have to leave the activity before he is ready. Ah well. Work in progress.
me: C (33), wife to P (35), mom to peanut butter (1/10), porky (5/11), and dumplin' (10/12).
oh-- do not avoid loving physical contact with your baby ever!!! please!!!!!
He should receive loving affection and cuddles whether he is behaving badly or not. You should not be teaching him that he only gets affection when he is "good".
I am glad you are here seeking advice and trying to do the right thing for your child. But witholding affection as punishment for a young child is not a good method!!!!!
Love him , give him attention, remember that he is still a baby too and try to prolong his babyness as long as you can rather than pushing independence too soon.
please please give him focused loving attention and snuggles regardless of how he acts. Try to learn other methods to handle the behavioral issues- perhaps you could look in the gentle discipline section here.
please . thanks!
me: C (33), wife to P (35), mom to peanut butter (1/10), porky (5/11), and dumplin' (10/12).
Good luck! I think the fact that you are thinking about how to balance it and be the best mom to your kids you can is great.
I also realize that little segments on mdc can be easily misinterpreted when I have no idea of the big picture so I am sorry if I jumped to false conclusions!
I so need this thread right now. I had such an awful day with my 15 month old yesterday. Awful. I felt ashamed of myself for yelling and upsetting her worse when she was already feeling upset. I think she's teething again after a 5 month hiatus. There was so much whining. The sound was grating on my last nerve and I had a lot of housework to get done and errands to run so I wasn't able to sit on the floor and reconnect with her at her pace. We have our worst days when I feel rushed and I'm trying to "make" her do things.
I'm up early this morning, taking some time by myself to re-center and my goal for today is to go at her pace as much as possible and give myself some room to stay connected. My poor little muffin deserves better than a crabby momma.
Momma-ing the Muffin since October 2011!
UGH. Feeling so defeated right now. Dh was out of town, so his parents took ds for a couple of nights so I didn't have to handle both of them alone during the night. Ds still wakes like 5 times a night screaming. I felt like I was recharged and ready to handle each thing he threw at me in a positive manner, and I did, until nap time. I now suspect that he slept in the car on the way home and grandpa didn't tell me about it. At this point ds now wants to be held until he falls asleep. I would, too, I guess. The problem is that I just can't do that. I can sit in the room with him, pat his back, sing to him, whatever else. But I can't hold him for the entire time it takes him to wind down and fall asleep. I have another child. A tiny baby that needs my attention, too. I bring her in the room in her rocker, and if the stars align, she is quiet and happy or asleep during the time that it takes him to go down, but today she wasn't. She was fussy and needed to be held. After 2 hours of alternating between calming her and then holding him, each time listening to him scream when I had to pick her up I finally yelled at him and he started kicking me and trying to kick the baby. I told him I had to leave because I couldn't let him hurt us. He screamed for a couple of minutes while I caught my breath and then passed out from exhaustion. Right now I just feel like I can't give him what he needs without neglecting dd. I don't know how to handle nap time differently He doesn't sleep when he needs to, has to be helped to sleep every time. His grandparents let him stay up "until he gets tired," which apparently wasn't until 10 the past couple of nights. When he gets over tired, he has night terrors.
Maybe some one else can see some alternative that I am missing? Please no flames for how I handled things. I know it went poorly.
I'm hoping dh will be able to come home early from work so that I can give ds my full attention this evening. I like the idea of king for an hour, but I don't think he'll understand that quite yet. I'll let him choose between shaving cream in the bath tub or making cookies and we'll just keep doing what he wants until (oh horror) bedtime. Poor little guy.
me: C (33), wife to P (35), mom to peanut butter (1/10), porky (5/11), and dumplin' (10/12).
hugs to you mama! I have no advice as I only have one child but I wanted to send you sympathy and a cyber hug and support- you are doing a good job!!! It is hard. I hope some other moms of more than one have advice for you.
I really doubt your son is doing any of what he's doing with the intention of driving you stark-raving mad, but the fact is, he's driving you stark raving mad. You've made it longer than I would, I'll bet.
I don't see the problem with having a heart-to-heart here. If that was my boy, I'd sit his little butt down with a cookie and explain that Mama was about to trade him for a case of wine was really sad that Papa was gone too, and Mama needed his help. I'd explain that when he yells at night, it doesn't help, and in fact, it makes Mama sad.
My SIL tried something similar on her slightly older son in the same kind of circumstances, with good results.
But if that fails, give him back to those grandparents!
You are doing a good job. Keep going.
And on 09/23/2011, we were three; husband, daughter, and me!
me: C (33), wife to P (35), mom to peanut butter (1/10), porky (5/11), and dumplin' (10/12).
Mrs Gregory, you crack me up. Thanks for that.
I have now raised and survived three toddlers. I get to go through it again here in a few months, yippie! lol
3 kids age 3 and under...oh Tek. I was there. 2 toddlers and a newborn? ugh.. I have the gray hairs to prove it.
How I got through it was:
I picked my battles. So many of the battles do revolve around sleep. Isn't that crazy?
Two of my babes were done with naps by the time they were 13 months or so. After that it became a power struggle nearly every day..I got 12 hours a day of straight kid-a-palooza. If I tried to lay them down for a nap than all hell broke loose. Maybe start 'resting' time instead of nap time if its a struggle?
Now we have 'quiet time'. 1 hour of pure quietness on their bed. They can read, write, play with a couple softies, or color but they must.be.quiet or its nap in bed the rest of the hour.
Done the same time every day, just as nap time. They don't have to be asleep, but they do need to be quiet and on their bed.
I dropped the mama guilt. Yes, its still there rearing its ugly head every time I turn around. But really, just telling myself "I am doing the best I can do" while locking myself in the bathroom for a breather is just the ticket sometimes.
If the kids tantrumned and screamed then that was better than me tantruming and screaming. Remember that.
This is about all I can remember from that hazy time of my life. Just giving some support more than anything else. It was the hardest time of my life having those three so close together. You will get through it, and be so thankful you did.
Oh, for night bed time...Routine, routine, routine.
My two toddlers use to have a horrid habit of jumping on the bed and running around when I announced "bed time"! This was after all of our lovely bed time routines.We co-slept but there comes a time (especially with a newborn) that you cant lay them down to bed every night,and stay there until they drift off to dreamland..not to mention its a waste of time when they are being well...bratty.....and refusing to calm down so they can sleep.
I modified a super nanny trick and it was the only thing that worked, and I am pleased to say that 6 years later I have not ever had a problem with bed time since. But it was a traumatic three nights...
Ok...Flame suit donned..and here goes:
After many repeated requests for them to calm down and lay down on the bed (in which they ignored, tantrumed, jumped on the bed etc)
I told them that I was not going to come and lay down with them until they were laying on the bed quietly.
I gave them one last chance.
Then I closed the baby gate to their room and left the room.
Uh..All hell broke loose.
Screams and weeping and wailing and gnashing of the teeth..
I steadied my nerves, held my husbands hand, and watched the clock count 3 minutes. It was the hardest 3 minutes of my life. They were HOWLING. They could see me, but they couldnt get to me. I told them "Girls, lay on the bed and I will come right in!"
They kept at it.
Finally after 3 minutes they got on the bed and *sobbing* said "We quiet mama."
I came in, gave them hugs and water and laid with them and began reading their book.
The next night...same bad behavior. Tantrum, refusing to lay down. I warned them I was going to leave the room if they did not lay down.
Again, no response.
So I shut the baby gate and left the room.
Even WORSE fit than the night before.
They could see me down the hall (watching the clock- less than 7 feet away from them) and I told them again "Lay down on the bed and I will come lay with you."
It went on for FIVE minutes and was just a terrible frenzy worse than the night before...It was harder the second night than the first even for me.
but then they got in their bed and laid down.
Night three?
Same scenerio, but only 3 minutes that night.
Night four?
Only had to give the warning that they needed to lay down so we could read books and they could go to sleep.
And just like that, they were trained to go to sleep without tantrums.
I share this, not because I think its the perfect way (hey, I wont know that until I get my kids therapy bills)...but they weren't harmed, it was 11 hard minutes of their life until they learned that mama wasn't joking...but man if it didn't make all of our lives better..
At 8, 7 and 5 they know when I say that it is bed time, its time for us to do our routine, get in to bed and read for a bit until lights out. I think me putting my foot down on what was acceptable early on, helped shape that.
Just my opinion, and I wish you the best in whatever you do. Its all hard, but so worth it :)
After a few good nights rest, you may be suprised how much smoother the whole house runs not having to worry about the bed time ordeal monster. I think thats the best repair you can have.

I like the reminder that it's better for him to be screaming and tantrumming than me. Very true. I think a big part of getting through this is knowing that if I can just get through the tantrums without losing it myself, that is a success right there.
And I do need to let go of the guilt. The guilt of having another baby sooner than I intended, the guilt of dd getting less attention and stimulation than ds did at this age, the guilt of deciding to send him to school so that I don't go out of my freaking mind...I am lucky to have the option of leaving him at school through nap time on the 3 days per week that he has been going to mdo. I'm going to try that starting Feb 1st. And I'm going to try to feel good about it.
me: C (33), wife to P (35), mom to peanut butter (1/10), porky (5/11), and dumplin' (10/12).
Tek, big hugs.
Right now you are at the hardest point in your parenting career...Once you sail through this, you'll be able to handle ANYTHING. :)
You take care of yourself, and that beautiful family!

Yeah, I see a fair number of moms irl who don't seem fazed, and maybe they aren't. But I always feel better when I talk about the things I'm struggling with. I am in a neighborhood mom's group, and sometimes I feel like a complainer, so I don't share that often. That's why I love MDC.
Nap time went so smoothly today. I gave him lots of verbal prep (in ten minutes we will go read books in your bed), and let him choose an animal to take to bed. In the past he has never been interested or attached to any inanimate object, never had a lovey despite how hard I tried to get him to take to one, but he has started to really get into pretend play on his own. So today he chose a monkey and we let monkey choose the books before nap. I told him he needed to tell the monkey how many books we always read before we lay down, and he said, "two books, monkey!" Then we put the monkey to sleep before ds lay down. He protested a little, but there was no screaming. I told him how well he was slowing his body down. He looked at me, asked for kisses on both arms, I stroked his nose three times, he closed his eyes, and they stayed that way! It definitely helped that dd was sleeping, but even so this was way easier than any nap time in weeks. I'm sure none of these tactics will work again, but hopefully if I can give him a bit of control over the situation in different ways, things will continue to go a bit more smoothly.
me: C (33), wife to P (35), mom to peanut butter (1/10), porky (5/11), and dumplin' (10/12).
Tekcez- Glad nap time went well today! Both my boys are sleeping right now and wow, I'm loving the silence! Well, the newbie just started stirring so I guess it's over.... My 2 yo drove me crazy this afternoon when he woke up the 2 mo after he finally fell asleep. The kid just doesn't understand that when DS2 is asleep, DS1 will get cuddles and milk. NO matter how often I repeat (and sometimes yell ) it to him. Blah.
Anyway, I totally understand your feelings! My mom stayed at home AND homeschooled my 7 siblings and I so when I want to send my toddler to preschool to help with the craziness in my house, I feel very wimpy. Have to remind myself I'm a different person than my mom!
Keep going, we can do this! I would like to say though, I am very confident now in our decision to stop after 2 kids. I sure can't handle any more without hurting them!
Me: Sarah, married to: J, mommy to: C (8/10) and E (11/12)
Ya'know, I'm not on the earth to play; I do my best to keep my house clean, my family well fed, my child "enriched" and my lipstick fresh, however, despite my high standards for myself and my friends, I don't want people in my life that are going to constantly pretend it's easy. Because it ain't. If your IRL circle can't trade tips on how to handle the not-so-fabulous days, and there are many of them, may I sweetly suggest you shop for some new friends? Personally, I am there to support my friends, so if you had the worst day ever, I want to hear it. Let's talk it out, let's get some suggestions out there, let's move on and feel better. You deserve support in "real life" too.
And on 09/23/2011, we were three; husband, daughter, and me!
I hope you don't mind me joining in, I'm new to this site. I don't have any friends that are mothers and I'm struggling a little bit with my 3 year old, I've recently been made redundant from my job and I'm a little bit stressed out and I feel like my son is reacting to this by acting up at times. And I feel so bad about it all, my other half is great, but I don't get to have a lot of adult conversation (the mums at the nursery are twice my age, I'm 23 and they aren't very accepting of me) so I feel quite alone, and need to try and do more fun things with my boy, we go on lots of walks because we live in the country side but I feel like I should try new things and try to meet people, but since I've lost my job I've lost a lot of confidence I'm sorry for the essay but any advice would be greatly received! Thank you x
This makes me think of something a Mama friend of mine said once. She says she imagines her kids have a 'love tank', and that when their tank is running 'low', thats when she notices that they are acting out, are out of sorts, or that she doesnt quite feel connected to them. So she spends time with them, doing things that make them feel loved and attached, to fill their 'tanks' back up.
This actually makes perfect sense to me, and I noticed it with my son. For my DS, nursing, or sitting and spending time playing trains with him is a sure fire way to fill up his love tank, and it helps me feel like we are balanced and in tune with each other.

I was 5-years-old when The Wall came out in 1979. Of course, I was far too young to grasp any of the deeply adult themes of loneliness, alienation and distrust of institutional power that dominate Pink Floyd's masterwork, but that didn't stop my fellow first graders and I from chanting "We don't need no education!" and "Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone!" while we walked to elementary school in the mornings. Some musical statements are just universal in that regard, I suppose. Yet, for whatever reason, I was never much of a Floyd fan growing up. Sure, I was familiar with a great deal of their catalog —if you grew up in the 70s or 80s had access to a car and FM radio, how could you not be?— but for whatever reason, my musical attention during my formative years was drawn primarily towards hip-hop and more accessible, distinctly American classic rock staples (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Eddie Money).
I bring up this confession (of sorts) because I went into Saturday night's Roger Waters presents The Wall: Live concert at Yankee Stadium without a deep level of knowledge about either the album or the production. I purchased The Wall on iTunes just last week, and only had time to give it one end-to-end listen (which just so happened to be my first time doing so) before hopping on the 4 Train from my home in Brooklyn and making the trek up to 161st Street in the heart of the Bronx. Aside from cursory glances at a few reviews of recent dates on the stadium leg of this particular tour, I went into the evening with an open mind, fully prepared to be blown away. Well, suffice to say, that mission was accomplished. Quite literally, in fact.

GAME NOTES: Shabazz Napier and the Connecticut Huskies will face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in an American Athletic Conference test at the RAC on Saturday evening.
UConn dominated Temple en route to a 90-66 triumph last time out. The win was the fourth in the last five games for the Huskies, who have been uneven in conference play (3-3) as well as on the road (2-2). They will be back at home next Thursday to face Houston.
Rutgers has lost four of its last five games after traveling to Dallas and getting routed by SMU (70-56) on Tuesday. The Scarlet Knights are just 8-11 overall and 2-4 against the rest of the AAC, although all eight of their wins have come at home. They get a rematch with 12th-ranked Louisville, who beat them 83-76 earlier in the month, next time out.
Not surprisingly, UConn has dominated the all-time series between these two clubs, with 34 wins in 48 all-time meetings. That includes a 66-54 win in the only encounter last season.
DeAndre Daniels (31 points, 12 rebounds) and Napier (27 points, six assists) were unstoppable against Temple, as they led the Huskies to a 24-point victory. UConn limited the Owls to 38.3 percent shooting, while netting 53.4 percent itself, including 12-of-23 from beyond the arc.
Kevin Ollie's squad has been performing well on defense all season, surrendering only 65.7 ppg, while ranking 28th nationally in opponent field goal percentage (.392). The Huskies couple their staunch defense with a 74.6 ppg scoring average, which ranks fourth in the AAC. Napier (17.4 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 5.8 apg) has done it all for the Huskies this season, leading the team in scoring, assists and rebounds. He also tops the AAC in helpers. Daniels (13.7 ppg, 5.6 rpg) is putting together a solid season as well, although he had only three points in the game prior to the Temple contest. Ryan Boatright (12.3 ppg) is another skilled player, but he did not play against Temple as he was traveling to attend a family funeral.
Rutgers really struggled offensively against SMU, connecting on only 32.7 percent from the field to finish with fewer than 60 points for the third time in the last four games. The Scarlet Knights were outscored 21-11 off turnovers and by a 30-22 margin in the paint.
Myles Mack (16.5 ppg, 4.4 apg), the leading scorer for Rutgers, managed to tally 13 points and five assists against SMU, but he connected on only 2-of-11 shots from the floor and also had a pair of turnovers. J.J. Moore (11.2 ppg), who, along with Mack, is one of three players averaging in double figures for the Scarlet Knights, finished with a team-high 15 points in the losing effort. Kadeem Jack (13 ppg, 6.7 rpg) was held in check as he tallied only eight points on 2-of-11 shooting, to go with four rebounds. Jerome Seagears (8.9 ppg, 3.8 apg) is a decent option in the backcourt, but he only shoots 38.8 percent from the field.
Rutgers may have the upper hand on the interior in this contest, but even without Boatright, the Huskies have far too much skill in the backcourt for the Scarlet Knights to have much of a chance.

Staffordshire Police warning not to mix booze and drugs after woman's death in Meir
Posted: May 13, 2014|
POLICE have confirmed a woman who died and two men found collapsed within just 12 hours of each other had taken a cocktail of drugs and alcohol.
Staffordshire Police launched an investigation after the medical emergencies in Meir, Bentilee and Hanley at the weekend.
Initial tests have shown the three casualties had taken a mixture of booze and drugs – with different substances being used in each case.
It means police have ruled out fears that the three people had been affected by a dodgy batch of heroin.

Now drug users are being urged to be aware of the risks of mixing the substances.
Superintendent Jeff Moore, from Staffordshire Police, said: "Our initial investigations into these incidents have shown that the controlled substance in each case was different. However, the common factor in each was that they were combined with alcohol. Alcohol is a drug and mixing it with other drugs can be very dangerous. We work hard to combat the harm caused by drug and alcohol abuse."
Police are still treating the death of the 37-year-old woman at a house in Leacroft Road, Meir, on Friday afternoon as 'unexplained'.
They were today expected to name the woman who collapsed and died after 'consuming alcohol and a controlled drug'.
Hours later, paramedics were then called to reports of a 37-year-old man found collapsed in Ubberley Road, Bentilee. And within minutes, calls were received about a 30-year-old man collapsed in Parliament Row, Hanley. Both men were taken to hospital for treatment.
Supt Moore added: "It is believed that the substances involved in these two incidents may have been prescription drugs, although this cannot be confirmed at this time."
Health officials are urging drug users not to mix prescription medicines with alcohol.
Dr Zafar Iqbal, acting director of public health at Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: "The health of our residents is of paramount importance to us, and we do all we can to encourage people to look after themselves, and live healthy, independent lives.
"Using any combination of substances, including alcohol, significantly increases a person's risk of harm to their health, and even death. Our message is that people should avoid using drugs and alcohol together and should always aim to stay safe."

It's Groundhog Day!
Today, as he does every year on Feb. 2, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow and ascended to Gobbler's Knob in Punxsatawney, Pa., to let the world know whether to expect a long winter or a soon-arriving spring.
So, what did Phil determine about this year's weather, in front of a cheering crowd of more than 18,000?
Six more weeks of winter it must be! The cheers turned into boos as the announcement came: Phil had seen his shadow.
The legendary groundhog has been making his predictions since 1887, but the custom can be traced back to early Christians in Europe. Phil works with a tight-knit group of advisers known as the Inner Circle, and with a little help from them and a magical punch known as Groundhog Elixir that he drinks every year, he's had a notable life.
"Phil's prediction is predicated on what Phil tells our president," Inner Circle vice president Mike Johnston said Thursday. "Using a chirp and a click and a wink of an eye," Phil communicates with the Inner Circle's president, who passes the message along. And, Johnston said, Phil has never been wrong.
Phil even keeps up with the times. In 2010, he sent out his prognostication via text message, and last year, people earned Groundhog Day badges on Foursquare. Overwhelmingly, Phil sees a shadow, but according to outside reports, his accuracy is fairly low at 39%.

Letters to the Editor, March 7
We need single-payer
In single-payer countries, once a citizen in need arrives at the medical treatment facility, typical first questions are: "Where does it hurt and how long has it been hurting?"
In the United States -- despite "health reform" -- typical first questions remain: "Who is your insurance company and did you know you'll be responsible for whatever they don't pay?"
Even though premiums have been paid-in-full, with or without the help of fellow taxpayers, the fear of the potential cost-sharing aftermath -- including associated EOB/billing snafus -- will still deter many policyholders from seeking proper care. Result? We continue suffering needlessly, doctors continue having their pockets picked and insurance companies continue laughing all the way to the bank.
Lew Borman, spokesman for Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC, recently defended his company's posted 2013 60 percent profit increase and CEO Brad Wilson's more than $2.9 million pay package by touting the new products and services offered to meet their customers' health care "needs."
What we need is single-payer.
Lou Meyers
Laudable but perilous goals
I'd like to compliment John Heuer on his ideas for training for jobs and not warfare in his letter of March 4. While these are laudable goals, Mr. Heuer glosses over the fact that the world has many very, very bad guys as well as many totalitarian regimes who hate the United States and will go to great lengths to harm or destroy us.
Although I am sure he did not mean his letter to be comprehensive, we would adapt his Pollyannish view of the world at our peril. There are many more pragmatic steps that our government has failed to take for more efficient job creation.
Philip Pearce
Get tough, Obama
We've heard the predictable bloviating and saber-rattling by the likes of John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin concerning President Barack Obama's failed foreign policy and his reaction to Putin's reoccupation of the Crimea.
As an aging, flaming liberal I'll have to agree with them. Obama has to get tough!
Using our "productive Congress" or executive orders I'll list the a few tough measures he needs to take standing up to Putin:
-- Cancel the multi-billion-dollar contract Exxon Mobil has made with Russia to extract oil from the Arctic. We can still sell Russia batteries for the emergency shut-off valves though.
-- Pull out Coke, Pepsi, McDonald's and any other American junk foods that are making the Russian kids fat and sick. On second thought, maybe not.
-- Prevent Apple computers from building outlet stores.
-- Freeze all Russian assets in American banks and stop our banks from doing business with Russia making their top two percent wealthier also. I can go on and on but last and certainly not least -- stop exporting millions of pounds of tobacco to Russia where 47 percent of the public are addicted to deadly tobacco products. By the way, in 2013 Putin just signed into law the first regulations forcing tobacco companies to print health warnings on tobacco products. Hey -- Puttin ain't so bad after all. So I'll end my rantings by saying lets get tough, it's a start -- right? I think you get the point.

SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Well, I think Iran continues to be a threat to some of its neighbors in the region, so they're still funding Hamas, they're still funding Hezbollah, and those are things we have to be concerned about. But it is absolutely clear that this administration and President Bush continues to not let facts get in the way of his ideology. And that's been the problem with their foreign policy generally. They should have stopped the saber-rattling, should have never started it, and they need now to aggressively move on the diplomatic front.
I have said consistently since the beginning of this campaign that it is important for the president to lead diplomatic efforts, to try to offer to Iran the prospect of joining the World Trade Organization, potential normalized relations over time, in exchange for changes in behavior. That's something that has to be pursued.
SIEGEL: Senator Chris Dodd.
SEN. CHRIS DODD: Well, again, this is 16 agencies that have drawn this conclusion, it wasn't just one. So it's a very compelling case that's been made here for exercising caution and pursuing what I've advocated, and others have as well, and that is, pursuing as much of a diplomatic solution to the problems that Iran poses. And there are some. It would be foolish to say otherwise here.
But the important point is we can't do this unilaterally. And that's one of the dangers here. If we really try to impose sanctions by ourselves or other such efforts here, they will fail. It's very important to understand the linkage, obviously, not only between Iran, but Iraq and Iran, and our ability to build this kind of international support for efforts to convince Iran on a variety of issues to move in a different direction is being seriously compromised by our continued military presence in Iraq.
So there needs to be not only understanding what's written in this report, but simultaneously understanding that that more multilateral approach is going to be hobbled and difficult as long as we find ourselves bogged down in the Iraq situation.
SIEGEL: Thank you, Senator Dodd.
Senator Joseph Biden.
SEN. JOSEPH BIDEN: With all due respect with anybody who thinks that pressure brought this about, let's get this straight. In 2003, they stopped their program.
You cannot trust this president. He is not trustworthy. He has undermined our security in the region. He has undermined our credibility in the world. He has made it more difficult to get cooperation from the rest of the world. He has caused oil to go up roughly $25 a barrel with a security premium because of his threat of war.
It is outrageous, intolerable, and it must stop. The president of the United States — it was like watching a rerun of his statement on Iraq five years earlier. This — Iran is not a nuclear threat to the United States of America. Iran should be dealt with directly with the rest of the world at our side, but we've made it more difficult now because who is going to trust us? Who in Europe, who in China, who in Russia? It's outrageous.
SIEGEL: Thank you, Senator Biden.
Senator John Edwards.
MR. JOHN EDWARDS: Thank you.

Cable Sample - Submarine Telegraph, Shore End, Date Unknown Reg. No: ST 007057
- Summary:
- Section of the shore end of a submarine telegraph cable.
The shore-end of a telegraph cable could extend several miles from land and was usually of more robust construction than the main, deep-sea section of the cable. The additional strength was required to protect the cable from wave action against rocks, snagging by anchors and fishing gear, and similar hazards. The core of the shore-end cable was usually the same as the deep-sea cable, but was surrounded by additional layers of insulation, protective wrappings and heavy armouring wires.
The cable was donated by S.W. Silver & Co of Stratford, East London, England.
- Description:
- The core of the cable consists of 9 multi-wire stranded conductors arranged in a circle with a diameter of about 35 mm, with another 2 conductors in the centre of the circle. The conductors are embedded in insulation out to a diameter of about 45 mm. The insulation is wrapped in 18 armouring wires, each with a diameter of about 9 mm.
Each end of the cable sample is enclosed in a circumferential metal band.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from S.W. Silver & Co
|913 mm (Length), 77 mm (Diameter)
|11.5 kg (Weight)
|Dimension Comment:

I think the "strategy" of the democrats that BrassBand5 is referring to is rambling about different incoherent thoughts while adding numbers and ultimately blaming the Republicans. A forlorn strategy.
"No president since World War II has faced re-election with unemployment over 8 percent" You say that Mr. Bush is worse, however you fail to examine the facts. The unemployment has not gotten better in almost four years, reflective of Mr. Obama's failed presidency.
taxfreejc, your one of the stupid Americans. Clearly you do not understand innocent until proven guilty. If he was a "child predator" I don't think 300 students would be defending him.
Let's not forget that Huggins is the first freshman running back since Terrell Willis in 1993 to score twice in his first career game. Competing for the tailback job as a freshman proves his skill. Give Huggins a couple of games and he will prove his potential.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Learn how to build and refine your story with the redesigned editing toolset in Final Cut Pro X. In this course, author Ashley Kennedy focuses on getting you comfortable with each aspect of the editing process in Final Cut—from preparation and organization, to editing and refining, to audio and effects, to media management and exporting. Each stage of the postproduction workflow is explained thoroughly and concisely, and uses real-world examples from both narrative and documentary workflows.
NOTE: This course and its exercise files are not compatible with Final Cut Pro X v. 10.1 or later. If you are running v. 10.1 or later, please watch Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 Essential Training instead.
Now that we have a good understanding on how metadata can help us further define our footage, I want to go over the methods for actually searching for specific elements. Now Final Cut Pro X has a really robust search tool and even lets us save search criteria in dynamic groupings called smart collections. Let's take a look. So I'm just going to click on my Farm to Table event, and to search through the clips in your event library, you just click in the search field here and begin typing. So, if I want to locate all of the clips that contain the word field, I can just type it in here, like so.
and so all of these clips have field in their name. One word of caution, if you type something in this field and then go on to edit, you may forget to clear out your search criteria. If you do, then you might accidentally find that you have a lot fewer clips than you thought you did, so just make sure to delete your search term after you're done with the search. So I'll just go ahead and click on this X, and we have all of our clips back. So that basic function is fine for quick and dirty searches. But Final Cut has a much deeper search function than that, so this time instead of just typing something into the search field, I'm going to click on this magnifying glass right here.
So, as you can see, a filter box pops up, and we can begin inputting additional data. Now by default, it first comes up with a Text search field, and you can choose that it Includes, Does Not Include, it Is--so it matches exactly--or it Is Not, it does not match. You can also click on this Plus sign and put in any other criteria that you wish, and you can do this as many times as you like. So what I want to do is find all the clips with the Text of BD, and as you can see, it performs it lives, so everything in this view are now my BD clips, both on the Farm and at the Market, and what I want to find are all the shots at BD at the market.
So I'm going to click on this Plus sign and go to Keywords, and it allows us to check or uncheck all of these keywords right here. I think that if I chose Market Setup and Farmer's Market here, that should include everything. All right, so I have BD at the market if I'm looking for B-roll of him when I'm discussing the market. Now that's going to be a group of search criteria, and I'm going to make what's called a smart collection out of it, all of the clips with the Text BD in the keyword collection of either Market Setup or Farmer's Market, I'm going to choose New Smart Collection, and I'm just going to title this BD Broll market.
So we have some B-roll that we can go to right away when we need footage of BD working at the marketplace. Fantastic, Let's do it again, but this time let's show B-roll of BD working on the farm. So I'm just going to click on my event up here and my magnifying glass, and again, we'll do BD keywords, and notice that there are a lot of other things you can search on. You can search on ratings if you favored clips, and you have all sorts of metadata that you can search from. We're going to go into Keywords again, and I'm going to uncheck all, because I just want to get on the Farm and Farm Scenery maybe.
Now we have all the shots of BD at the farm and so that will be a new smart collection, and I'm just going to title this BD Broll Farm, okay, and so we have our two smart collections right here. A lot of times I like to just put my smart collections in a folder, and you can do that, you can go to File and New Folder, and I just typed in Smart Collections I'll click, and I'll Shift-click and move those in there, like so. So now we have our smart collections kind of sequestered from the rest of our Keyword collections.
The cool part about this is that whenever any clips match this criteria, they will automatically be deposited in this collection. So let me just demonstrate this really briefly. If I come back up to let's see the Farmer's Market, and let's just add the word BD to one of these, okay, let's say those are BD's hands, and so I'll just say BD hands Beets foreground. So now let's go ahead and take a look at BD Broll Market.
As you can see, the shot was added, and I didn't even do anything. It's a smart collection, it automatically sensed that the metadata matched this search criteria and put it in there automatically. So, pretty cool stuff. As you can see, it's very easy to perform both basic and dynamic footage searches in Final Cut Pro X, and this is an important thing in letting you stay in your creative mode without needing to hunt and peck through your materials when you are finding the perfect shot.

Denamarin: Life for your pet's liver
A body with a diseased liver is like a city without a sewer. The liver removes toxins and aids digestion. But what makes liver health even more important is that it's precarious: there's no direct way to compensate for a lack of liver function for a long period of time. Humans can get dialysis, but in pets, a malfunctioning liver usually means death, and a painful death at that.
You can keep your pet's liver healthy by feeding him a healthy diet and making sure that he gets plenty of exercise, but sometimes these precautions aren't enough. And even when they are enough, it doesn't mean that they're sustainable. A pet's liver function usually goes downhill with their joints, when exercise isn't an option. This is why you should consider Denamarin for your pet.
Denamarin is an all-natural supplement derived from the flowering milk thistle plant, so it will be beneficial for your pet even if he doesn't have any liver problems. This means you can give your pet Denamarin pre-emptively to stop liver problems before they occur.
Even if, hypothetically, your pet had no chance of getting a diseased liver, Denamarin would still be a healthy choice because it aids in digestion and the absorption of nutrients from your pet's diet. This translates into a more energetic pet into the later stages of his life.
Denamarin is of course not a replacement for a healthy diet and lifestyle, but when used in conjunction with these two factors, supplementation can make your pet healthier and happier than he could be on his own.
The liver may be precarious, but the good news is that, unlike the heart or the brain, the liver is pretty good at repairing itself. So even a sick liver, when environmental factors change, can go a long way to make itself healthy again. And a healthy liver is a healthy pet.
A great place to get Denamarin is VetDepot, one of America's most trusted sources for pet medications and supplements online. They offer the exact same FDA and EPA approved pet medications that you get at the veterinarian, but at savings of up to 60 percent. VetDepot's brand name list includes Frontline Plus, K9 Advantix, Advantage, Dasuquin and Heartgard. And so you can spend more quality time with your pet, VetDepot offers fast and free shipping to your door on most orders.

Due to the much-debated health concerns pertaining to the use of the estrogen-like chemical bisphenol A, or BPA as it is commonly called, some states would likely impose a ban on BPA use in food and drink containers for babies and toddlers.
While the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had earlier stated that BPA – the chemical that hardens plastics in products like bottles and cups, and is used in linings of metal cans – is safe; the agency announced last month that a few new studies have underlined "some concerns" about BPA's possibility of potentially damaging the brain of fetuses, infants and children.
In addition, a number of activist groups, including the Environmental Working Group and the Natural Resources Defense Council, have cited studies that associate BPA with heart disease, breast cancer, and diabetes.
Even though the FDA has stopped short of calling BPA unsafe, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., the person behind a pending bill on BPA ban, noted that the some states have "added momentum to the efforts to restrict the uses of this dangerous chemical once and for all."
While Canada became the first country to outlaw the use of BPA in baby bottles; Connecticut and Minnesota were the first US states to ban BPA in food and drink containers for children below 3 years; followed by a similar ban in Chicago and New York's Suffolk County.

FAQs About the Seasonal Flu Vaccine
- What is flu vaccine?
- Who should get flu vaccine and when?
- Who should not get the flu vaccine? Who should proceed with caution?
- What are the side effects of the flu vaccine?
What is flu vaccine?
The standard flu vaccine (or, the "flu shot") is made from flu viruses that have been grown on fertilized chicken eggs. The viruses are killed during manufacturing, a process known as "inactivation." These inactivated viruses are a source of proteins or antigens that trigger a protective antibody response when the vaccine is injected into the arm or thigh muscle. Antibodies against flu viruses begin to appear one to two weeks after getting the flu shot and last for months, and sometimes even up to one year.
The standard flu shot is the main flu vaccine that will be offered at PAMF for the 2014-2015 season.
Three other flu vaccines will also be available to certain patients:
1) FluMist nasal spray vaccine:
FluMist is the preferred vaccine for children 2-8 years when it is immediately available. Because FluMist is a spray, some patients prefer it to a shot. It can be given to non-pregnant individuals 2-49 years of age who have no contraindications (see below).
2) Fluzone High-Dose:
Fluzone High-Dose vaccine is approved only for persons 65 years of age or older. It contains four times the antigen dose per strain as standard vaccine, and results in higher antibody levels which seem to give it a slight edge in protecting seniors against the flu.
3) Flublok:
Flublok is a recombinant flu vaccine and is approved for highly egg-allergic persons aged 18-49 years. It is available only in our allergy departments.
Last flu season PAMF transitioned from trivalent to quadrivalent standard flu shot vaccine,. Quadrivalent flu vaccines contain two A strains and two B strains, whereas trivalent vaccine contains only 1 B strain. The second B strain was added by manufacturers because predicting which flu B strain would circulate in any given season proved difficult. While this is a modest change, scientists hope it will result in increased protection against the flu in coming years. FluMist is also quadrivalent, but Fluzone High-Dose and Flublok remain trivalent this season.
Because vaccine strains often change from one year to the next and immunity wanes, flu vaccine must be given every year.
All flu vaccines at PAMF will be Thimerosal-free and latex-free.

Who should get flu vaccine and when?
The easy answer is that almost everyone 6 months of age and older should get the flu vaccine. They should get the vaccine in September or October, but they can be vaccinated throughout the flu season. Special efforts should be made to vaccinate the following persons because they are either at risk for complications from the flu, or they might give the flu to someone who is at risk:
- Women who are or will be pregnant during the flu season - the World Health Organization places a very high priority on vaccinating pregnant women
- Children younger than 5 years, especially children under age 2
- Children on chronic aspirin therapy
- People 50 years and older
- Persons who are morbidly obese
- Native American and Alaskan natives
- Persons of any age with certain chronic medical conditions (See 2013-14 recommendations and 2014-15 recommendations on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website for more information.)
- Persons who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
- Persons who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including:
- Health care workers
- Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu
- Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated
- Health care workers
Back to top
Who should not get the flu vaccine? Who should proceed with caution?
Flu vaccine is extremely safe for the vast majority of persons, including breastfeeding and pregnant women (pregnant women should receive the flu shot, but should not get the FluMist nasal spray vaccine). However, some groups should exercise caution:
- Persons with a history of severe allergic reaction to the flu vaccine should not get the flu vaccine.
- Persons with a severe allergy to eggs should consult an allergist. (Flubok may be considered if the patient is 18-49 years of age.)
- Persons with milder allergic reactions to eggs (such as hives only) should speak with their vaccine or health care provider first. (Usually the standard flu shot can be administered, followed by 30 minutes of observation, or the Flublok vaccine, which is not egg-based, can be given by an allergist if the patient is 18-49 years of age.)
- Anyone with moderate to severe acute illness should delay flu vaccination until resolution of the illness
- Children under 6 months of age should not get the flu vaccine because it is ineffective in this age group (instead, their household contacts and caretakers should get vaccinated).
- Persons with a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome should consult their doctor before receiving the flu vaccine.
- Note: The nasal spray vaccine, FluMist, has in addition the following specific contraindications: current use of aspirin (in children 2-17 years), pregnancy, immunosuppressed state, egg allergy of any kind, asthma history or wheezing within 12 months in children 2-4 years, antiviral medication within the last 48 hours, or caring for severely immunosuppressed persons (e.g. bone-marrow transplant). Precautions are also cited by the manufacturer for age > 5 years with asthma, chronic medical conditions.
Back to top
What are the side effects of the flu vaccine?
The flu vaccine rarely causes serious adverse effects. The most common reaction to the flu shot is mild soreness at the site of injection which is well tolerated. Flu-like symptoms, such as fever and muscle aches, occasionally occur six to 12 hours after receiving the flu shot and last one to two days. However, these symptoms are very rare. The live, intranasal flu vaccine can cause symptoms of a head cold, and the high-dose flu vaccine is more likely to cause injection-site pain or fever.
Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), an acute paralytic illness, was linked to the swine flu vaccine of 1976. Since 1976, studies have failed to show a similar association between flu vaccines and GBS. It is estimated that at most one excess case of GBS per million persons vaccinated may be attributable to the flu vaccine. The extremely low incidence of GBS stands in contrast to the many hospitalizations and deaths prevented by the flu vaccine. Moreover, influenza itself is known to cause GBS and flu vaccine may be protective. However, anyone who has had GBS within 6 weeks of flu vaccination should speak with their physician first before receiving flu vaccine.

I was going to setup a VPN server to allow LAN access over the Internet through a secure channel. Was going to achieve this, adding functionality to a Windows 2003 server, however I see that the modem/router (Draytek 2800G) has this capability itself. I was wondering if it would be safe enough to enable VPN access configuring the Draytek in place of the Windows 2003 server, assuming the modem's firmware won't be updated in the future, that is if an exploit is discovered it won't be fixed

Students at Midway Elementary School wrote letters to send to the military to wish them a happy holiday season and to thank them for their service. Representatives from the American Red Cross picked up the letters and will see that they are delivered by Christmas. Students who participated included (first row) Bailey Rabon, Laila Houser, Devon Yannayon, (second row) Erin Jackson, Luke Funderburk, Madison Hensley, Kaitlyn Thompson, Ana Lucena, Jimena Noyola, Maggie Carter, Dylan Smith, Madison Bantum, Sophia Watford, (third row) Laura Battiata, Principal Dell Brabham, Margaret Bishop and Regan Atkinson.
Lugoff-Elgin Middle School has reported its honor rolls for the first quarter.
In November, 52 students at Camden Elementary School were inducted into the National Junior Beta Club. The club's mission is "To promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, service, and leadership, among elementary and secondary school students." S.C. Sen. Vincent Sheheen offered words of encouragement at the ceremony. In addition to Sheheen, joining the students were Ed Yount, principal; LaKeisha Lawrence, sponsor; and Jackie Norton, assistant principal, along with Beta Club officers and speakers. Beta Club is based on academics and PASS scores.
As part of a project spearheaded by the American Red Cross, Doby's Mill Elementary School students had the opportunity to make holiday cards for soldiers and veterans. They used recycled materials in Science Lab for this project in celebration of World Recycling Day. At a Family Reading Night event, fourth-grade teacher Tina Summers set up a table loaded with materials to facilitate this process. Here, Benjamin Shaw, Tamira Tucker, Sierra Kirkland, Kadee Faulkenberry, Joshua Kirkland and Daniel Parker display the cards they created in Science Lab.
The Kershaw County Reading Council (KCRC) recently held its annual Reading Teacher of the Year banquet at Pine Tree Hill Elementary School. Each school in the district had the opportunity to nominate a Reading Teacher of the Year who created portfolios and displays to be critiqued by an external judge.
The Kershaw County School District received "unqualified opinions" -- the top results possible -- during its annual financial audit as completed by an external independent CPA firm.
The Kershaw County School District will have a half day for students Dec. 16, the last day of student attendance before the holiday break. Staff will work a regular schedule. Students in 3-and 4-year-old developmentally delayed and 4-year-old kindergarten classes will not attend.
The 82 children of the Montessori School of Camden anxiously awaited the arrival of their grandparents and extended families for the annual celebration of Grandparents' Day.
First quarter elementary discipline reports show that referrals from classrooms and buses to school offices have dropped nearly 15 percent from this time last school year. Kershaw County School District (KCSD) officials attribute much of this success to the districtwide implementation of PBIS -- Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.
The following are menus for Kershaw County schools for the week of Dec. 5-9:
Current Kershaw County high school freshmen may be able to attend Central Carolina Technical College (CCTC) for free once they graduate.
Dr. Agnes Slayman, Kershaw County School District (KCSD) executive director for secondary education, has been hired as the new superintendent of education for Chester County. She will officially begin her new post Jan. 1.
The current economic downturn brought low construction costs, allowing the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) to move forward with an ambitious $102 million Installment Purchase Plan (IPP)-funded facilities equalization plan. But it also brought a wave of criticism from county residents who grew increasingly frustrated with seeing new school construction at the same time the district laid off teachers, slashed National Board Certification (NBC) stipends and enacted districtwide furloughs.
When Dr. Frank Morgan applied for the superintendent position with the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) in February 2007, he spent a weekend driving around the county looking at the school district's facilities. The real surprise when he pulled up to one of the county's high school's was not what he found, but what he didn't find.
Lugoff-Elgin High School has announced its honor rolls for the first nine-week period.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Bama lose either. If Bama destroys aacc then it doesn't matter what we do. The media will just refer to the Bama game and say the buckeyes and any other big ten team would be average at best in the sec. However if aacc beats Bama and then the buckeyes beat aacc we could actually get some respect nationally.
With that said I will not be rooting for AAC by any means. I think I'll be neutral.

Mary Paula Pruter (1944-1946) (his death) 1 child
Lionel Alfred William Atwill (1 March 1885 – 22 April 1946) was an English stage and film actor.
Early life[edit]
He was born on March 1, 1885 in Croydon, Surrey, England. He studied architecture before his stage debut at the Garrick Theatre, London, in 1904.
He became a star in Broadway theatre by 1918,[1] and made his screen debut in 1919. He acted on the stage in Australia but was most famous for his U.S. horror film roles in the 1930s. His two most memorable parts were as the crazed, disfigured sculptor in Mystery of the Wax Museum (Warner Brothers, 1933), and as Inspector Krogh in Son of Frankenstein (1939), memorably sent up by Kenneth Mars in Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein (1974).
When he was not cast in macabre roles, Atwill often appeared in the 1930s as righteous-minded authority figures. For example, in 1937's less memorable The Wrong Road for RKO, investigator Atwill persuades a young, bank-robbing ingenue played by Helen Mack and her boyfriend Richard Cromwell to return their ill-gotten $100,000 and give up a life of crime. Two of Atwill's other notable non-horror roles were opposite his contemporary Basil Rathbone in films featuring Arthur Conan Doyle's character Sherlock Holmes, including a role as Dr. James Mortimer in 20th Century Fox's 1939 film rendition of the Conan Doyle novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, and the 1943 Universal Studios film Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon, in which he played Holmes' archenemy and super-villain, Professor Moriarty.[2]
He remained a stalwart of the Universal horror films until his career flagged in the 1940s because of a widely publicized sex scandal.
Personal life[edit]
He married four times:
- Phyllis Ralph in 1913 and divorced in 1919. In 1941 their son, John Arthur Atwill (born 1914), was killed in action aged 26.[3]
- American actress Elsie Mackay in 1920[4] (one source claims he had a son, John, with her).[5] In 1925 Atwill had detectives raid an apartment on Manhattan's 68th Street, where Mackay was found with actor Max Montesole. A divorce was finally granted in March 1928.[6]
- Louise Cromwell Brooks in 1930 and divorced in 1943. She had previously been married to Douglas MacArthur.
- Mary Paula Shilstone (d.2002) in 1944 to his death in 1946.[7] She gave birth to his only surviving child, Lionel Anthony Atwill, now a retired writer.
In 1942, he was indicted with perjury by a jury investigating the 1941 proceeding of a grand jury relative to the alleged occurrence of a sex orgy at his home.[8]
He died while working on the 1946 film serial Lost City of the Jungle. His ashes were once interred in Chapel of the Pines Crematory.

It's Immaterial
A Gigantic Raft in the Philippines (1982)
Ploughing my way through the washing up last night, I was listening to Steve Lamacq on Radio 6, although he was actually transmitting an old Roundtable show from 1984 (only the Lord knows why because it was terrible - host was Paul Gambaccini with guests David Coverdale, Chrissy Boy from Madness and Janis Long. Coverdale and Chrissy Boy hated everything but Billy Idol (!!) and Long seemed to love it all, even though most of the records were uniformly awful) (excuse overlong and complex use of brackets)). I say 'uniformly awful' but there was one fine exception - a record I'd completely forgotten about by a band I'd more or less dropped down Memory Drain long ago, It's Immaterial. When they played this one I actually thought for a minute that Lamacq had cut into the show with a new song from a new band and it wasn't until close to the end of the track that I realised it was a great blast from the past.
It's Immaterial were a Liverpool based combo who nearly made it on the 'Indie' scene but not quite. 'A Gigantic Raft in the Philippines' was released originally in 1982 but was remixed and put out again in 1984. I prefer the original but they are both very fine.

I was doing the very same thing last night. Washing up (what exciting lives we lead) and wondering why on earth Steve Lamacq had chosen this particular Round Table to re-transmit. There must be hundreds of more interesting editions in the vaults. Hope he doesn't make a habit of it.

I loved this song, it always used to get played on a really good Sunday night programme called Streetlife on Radio Merseyside. It was sometimes hosted by Janis Long though Con McConville was my favourite Streetlife presenter. Sorry, that's all a bit random but that song is forever associated with that show for me. xx
