Oh Scaruffi your corrupting force is enveloping the whole of the internet.
But your list is a good and tasteful one and reminded me that I still really gotta listen to Terminal Tower, Hosianna Mantra, and Parable of Arable Land damn bad...
I actually considered Not Available, Terminal Tower, The Modern Dance, and Trout Mask Replica to be in my top ten favorite albums years before I had heard of Scaruffi. I only found his site when I did a Google search one day of ' "greatest albums" "pere ubu" ' to see if there was any record list out there that included my favorite band at the time (and still are).
Any suggestions are welcome!
Currently listening (and re-listening) to:
Mahler - Symphony No. 9
Wagner - Tristan und Isolde
I'd recommend Symphony No. 3 (1983) by Witold Lutosławski and Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936) by Béla Bartók. I think you will find the third movement of Music for Strings to be especially interesting – it was even used in The Shining!
Will listen to those next week. Thanks for the suggestions!
I'd recommend you to check out the music by György Ligeti. I have been listening to the 'Clear or Cloudy' box set and it's been one masterpiece after another. He's unbelievable!
Interesting list.
Have you listened to any of Beefheart's other albums?
Safe as Milk, The Mirror Man Sessions, and Lick My Decals off, Baby get regular plays by me, and once in a while I'll listen to Shiny Beast, Doc at the Radar Station, and Ice Cream for Crow.
Besides TMR, I like Doc (which actually is almost as good as TMR IMO, and I keep switching them around as my fave Magic Band album) and Safe as Milk the most. Mirror Man, Lick My Decals Off, Shiny Beast, Ice Cream for Crow, and Strictly Personal are brilliant too. Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot are decent albums too.
Not really. Most movies (and literature) require many prior experiences (such as knowing a language, cultural literacy, relatable scenarios, etc.) in order to fully appreciate them, and I'm more into trying to find "culture-fair" works of art, that can be emotionally powerful no matter what one has previously experienced in their lives. However, there are some exceptions; Welles' films (Citizen Kane and Touch of Evil in particular), through his use of non-traditional camera angles and pacing, really stand out to me as visual experiences that would be emotionally powerful on their own. 2001: A Space Odyssey can also hold that claim as well.
My preference for "purity" in things also explains why I am a mathematician and philosopher of logic as well.
Interesting take. I've never really found much of a difference in cultural knowledge needed between movies and music appreciation - maybe some though... I totally agree re: Welles. Just incredible :)
What do you mean by "purity"?
Wow, this is what i'm searching for in art. Purity, logic, structure.
Great list. Made me want to check out Coltrane's Ascension.
May I suggest an album ? Considering your taste and the fact that you're a mathematician, I think you'll enjoy Don Caballero's first 3 records, particularly "What Burns Never Returns".
Since you mentioned "Meet The Residents" I've downloaded it, listened to the full album 8 times and listened to the individual songs many many more times. My opinion of the album has slowly changed from "interesting weirdness" to "probably a masterpiece". This album is a treasure, a full universe to explore. It's one of those rare enigmatic records that are worth repeated listening, and it's been really rewarding up to now. For now, my favorite moment is the disillusioned/hilarious "Uh, It's Christmas, but there ain't nobody raising much of a fuss!" and my favorite song is "Rest Aria" with all it's wonderful creepiness.
I'm sure my opinion will change after this, and I'm sure I'll find more magical moments in this album.
Thank you. Your suggestion was SUPERB! I Haven't had this much fun with an album since "White Light/ White Heat".
Have you written any review/analysis on "Meet the Residents"? If no, do you know of a good one? What's your favorite song?
Sorry for the late reply,
I am glad you are enjoying it! I have written about it a little bit, but I honestly cannot express fully in words why I like it so much. It is possibly a combination of the incredible amount of timbres present, the unique composition style, and the feeling of the album as a cohesive whole, from the warped-tape beginning of "Boots" to the "Go home, America" fade-out. As for my favorite song on it, I really cannot decide. My favorite sequence is the Rest Aria/Skratz/Spotted Pinto Bean section of side one. Rest Aria is just completely beautiful, Skratz has one of the most chilling horn parts ever, and on Spotted Pinto Bean the female chorus/piano combo is breathtaking. More often than not, I consider it my favorite work of music ever.
You must listen to Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem (1874). It changed my life.
[btw, these are all by Giulini]
I used to have it on my list, but somehow it got removed and I forgot to re-add it. Thanks! Do you have any other suggestions?
BTW, I just got done listening to a crapload of Bernstein interpretations of my favorite works. I was completely taken away by the emotion of most of them; so much that I can't really listen to any others without going back to him. His output in the 1960s in unparalleled IMO.
Richard Wagner: Die Walküre (1856) [Solti (1965)] [I love this opera mainly for the 3rd act, but the entire opera is great, as well as the rest of the Ring. Die Walküre is one of my top 3 favorite works - the other 2 being Verdi's Requiem (1874) & Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936).]
Igor Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms (1930) [Stravinsky (1930)]
Robert Schumann: Fantasie in C Major (1839) [Richter (1961)]
Franz Schubert: Symphony No. 8 in B Minor "Unfinished" (1822) [Bernstein (1963)]
Franz Schubert: Symphony No. 9 in C Major "The Great" (1828) [Furtwängler (1951)]
Krzysztof Penderecki: Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima (1960) [Penderecki (1972)]
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Requiem (1792) [Marriner (1990)]
György Ligeti: Lontano (1967) [Nott (2001)]
Antonín Dvorák: Symphony No. 9 in E Minor "From the New World" (1893) [Talich (1954)]
Claude Debussy: Études (1915) [Uchida (1989)]
Claude Debussy: Préludes (Books I & II; 1910 & 1912) [Gieseking (1953)]
Hector Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique (1829) [Davis (1974)]
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor (1808) [Kleiber (1974)]
Johann Sebastian Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565 (1707) [Walcha (1965)]
P.S. I don't know what music you've already listened to outside of your list.
Faust and The Residents certainly never struck me as "emotional music", but to each his own. :-D
I had to move Meet The Residents to the top spot. The reason I had it lower before is because I hadn't listened to it in a while and for some reason thought I had overrated it. I listened to it again a few times in the past couple of hours, and I can't deny my feelings anymore: it is my favorite work of music ever. My iTunes listen count for it is approaching 1200 plays (admittedly, some of those come from having it on repeat while I sleep) and it still has not diminished in quality for me, only increased. It is everything I enjoy about music: the creativity of arrangement, the sculpting of sound, the onslaught of emotions from joy to despair, the combined comedy and tragedy of it all. Some people may think I'm crazy for this opinion, or that the album is an elaborate joke, but I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, it is a masterpiece.
EDIT: Changed my mind again, lol.
Good to see this list. Here is one of the greatest compositions ever written and I can't stop listening to it. - Mozart's Requiem
Bach's Die Kunst der Fuge is the most expressive work of art I have ever experienced, in both scope and intensity. It is incredibly simple in its scoring, with four or fewer parts in each fugue or canon, yet astoundingly complex in arrangement. It is fragmented into separate pieces, each with their own moods, but unified by a single theme. It is possibly the most logical work ever composed, and at the same time, one of the most emotionally intense.
Previously, I had Fretwork's performance for viol consort as my recording of choice (I had listened to at least a dozen other recordings on many different instruments, including harpsichord, piano, string quartet, brass ensemble, and mixed chamber), but after experiencing Helmut Walcha's 1956 recording on organ, I was convinced that this was THE ONE. To begin with, the recording is absolutely pristine - it is unbelievable that it is almost 60 years old, considering the quality of the sound and lack of hiss. But above all, Walcha was a master of performing fugues. Learning each part independently, he understood how and why they fit together. The difference between Walcha and most chamber ensembles can be likened to a jigsaw puzzle: in the latter, each member has their own pieces which they drop into place in their own way, making the puzzle complete, but not neat; Walcha meticulously puts the puzzle together in a uniform way, making sure the pieces interlock perfectly.
When considering the quality of the work combined with the quality of the performance, I have not heard another recording of any work in any genre that this does not surpass, and it does so by a large enough margin that I feel it deserves its own tier on my list.
Awesome, I'll check it out when I get going again on classical. It's always been amazing to me, but it sounds like you've found a version that just might be the one to return to.
If suggestions are well-accepted, try to enjoy some other Bach masterpieces.
The Musical offering, for instance: in scope and intensity is not less valid than the art of fugue. Anyway i love it expecially for the Ricercar a 6, one of the most accomplished and complex keyboard piece ever written.
If u quote BWV 565 i hope u didn't listen to the Well tempered clavier yet.
There are plenty of pieces that, once listened, u will easily forget BWV 565.
For Beethoven: i suggest u some minor works (so considered by the press) that are among my favourite gems in the whole repertoir: WoO 80, Op. 34 and 35 and Bagatelles Op. 126.
If u love the Art of Fugue we shall consider these little pieces a favourite of yours.
Mozart: not forget the quintets, expecially K 515 and 516.
Above all: u quote many composers of the XX centuty (pop, rock and classical ones) but u forget the two greatest (imho): Strauss and Schoenberg.
Another suggestion: visit youtube and try to listen to Symphony No. 4 by Valen.
I don't know how I forgot to list the Musical Offering and WTC, I thought for sure I had those on there. I'm going to figure out my favorite recordings and add them.
I'll listen to the Beethoven and Mozart suggestions this week, as well as Valen.
A bunch from Strauss and Schoenberg are going to be added soon.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Very surprised to see Radios Appear here. I've always assumed it's just a good little record but I've only listened to half of it many years ago. Gotta listen to the whole thing sometime. What do you like most about it?
It is simply an excellent set of rock songs. I really like the complexity in them, such that they hold up very well after repeated listening.
I've been trying forever to find a download link for Jimmy Bell's Still in Town but can't seem to find anything. How did you get the album?
You can get it here:
Hey have you heard the new Pere Ubu album? They released it yesterday. I haven't heard all of it yet but the first song sounds freaking great!
Yep, you're right, Walcha's Art of the Fugue is amazing
Whoa, a new #1! How would you describe it? Which work of art, if any, would you relate it to?
Well, it's not technically #1, just first chronologically. I previously had it on my "The Rest" list, with a recording by Jeremy Summerly and the Oxford Camerata, but then I heard the recording that I currently list, that includes the Gregorian Propers, and it blew me away. Closest thing I can relate it to would be "Vuh" by Popol Vuh (side 2 of In den Garten Pharaos).
What would you say are the 5 selections (or even 10 if possible) from "The Rest" that are the closest to "The Best"
...and you are required to answer this 3 times, each from using a separate algorithm to make your selections
Brahms 4
Schubert 9
Hosianna Mantra
In Den Garten Pharaos
Tago Mago
Rock Bottom
Not Available
Jimmy Bell's Still in Town
Half Machine Lip Moves
Great to see recognition of Richard Dawson's Nothing Important!
I've listened to it repeatedly for the last three days. It is a serious contender for my "Best" list, but I want to give it some time first. Holy crap is it good.
Yes, me too. I've been careful/tentative before each new rating, only to have it force me to upgrade it over and over again.
Aaaaaand it's there. Too soon? Eh, I can always move it down later if needed. As of this moment, I totally think it deserves that spot though.
You remind me a lot of HexNash... What did you do with him!?
Seriously though, love the new name. Wish Id thought of it :)
I am intentionally withholding myself from Nothing Important at the moment, to see how well it holds up right after Ive revisited my other 9s and 8.5s -- or at least a good number of them.
I'm digging the new format! Interesting to see the various qualitative separations between albums, even when so minute. Do you intend to breakdown the 8 - 9.5 section too?
Yep, but it is going to take a while. I haven't listened to some of these in months and I want to give them a fresh listen.
It isn't possible to rate Metal Machine Music anything other than 11/10, so yes I'm assuming it's real.
Pretty sure it might be an April Fools joke but then I wanted to make sure.
I'm really disappointed to see that it was an April Fools joke, for a while there I thought I'd found another fan of MMM and ITAOTS. Oh well.
Still interested in what ResidentUbu's real opinion on MMM is though.
Yep, the plausible selections of Aeroplane and Beethoven's Unfinished 10th made it fairly easy to believe actually (especially if April Fools had already run its course for some of us), and the Metal Machine Music choice added a compelling twist, but alas, it was not to be. Good joke though, made me look twice at the release date of the 10th (which was 2084), then chuckle :-)
I must be crazy, but I cannot keep that 2.5 minute song from climbing my list...
I dont know if its recent or not, but very cool to see some agreement on Roxy Music's self-titled!
Happy to see Fun House in that top spot. Should we reconsider your vote for the Dogbowl album on the tournament?

Haunted Corpus Christi: Bill Witt hangar
CORPUS CHRISTI - An abandoned building severely rusted paired with broken windows and scattered scrap metal alone is eerie.
The old airplane hangar at Bill Witt Park, which attracted visitors up to no good, was torn down a couple of years ago.
But some guests might still be there. Corpus Christi Spook Central, and other Corpus Christi residents claim spirits called out their names, had brand new flashlights and camera batteries die immediately on site and witnessed the remnants of what looked like odd witchcraft sacrifices.
Margaret Prescott from the paranormal group said while investigating she recorded a voice as she walked up the stairs saying "Come on up. Margaret, you're not dead."
The old building attracted local high school students looking for a good scare. Arturo Lopez, a 2005 Moody High School graduate, went with his friends often in high school. Besides hearing strange sounds like running footsteps and chains and seeing shadow figures, he said around Halloween they would find weird sacrificial looking remains.
He said once they found five or six decapitated cats lying around a circle of rocks.
Local historian Murphy Givens said the area was the old Rodd Field built as an auxiliary field for training Navy pilots in World War II.
The hangar was Tracking Station No. 16 operated by NASA in the 1960s. This station monitored the early space flights, including John Glenn's first orbital flight in 1962. It was a tracking station for space programs that led to the moon landing.
The man who built the station, Melvin Graning, was murdered by his wife and his stepson. They hit him in the head, put him in the trunk of a car, and took him to the Nueces River near Calallen and drowned him. They were both convicted of murder.
Whether his murder has to do with the strange paranormal occurrences or if the spirits were brought in by foul play is unknown.
The area also is very close to Oso Creek, which is said to have been the area of Native American burial grounds. Sometimes human bones are found near the creek.

The 62-item Potential Stressful Events Interview (PSEI) was designed for use in the DSM-IV PTSD Field Trial to provide descriptive data on prevalence of traumatic events. It provides information on exposure to traumatic events as well as PTSD.
It is a comprehensive interview with five parts: (1) demographics; (2) low magnitude stressors in the last year such as job loss and serious illness; (3) high magnitude stressors such as combat or military experience or witness to someone being seriously injured; (4) objective characteristics of the prominent high and low magnitude events; and, (5) subjective characteristics of these prominent events. The final part (5) is a self-report that examines 15 emotional responses such as surprised or ashamed and 10 physical reactions such as shortness of breath and rapid heart rate. It can be used for both research and clinical purposes.
A subsection of the PSEI, called the National Women's Study Event History (NWSEH), interview can be administered independently of the other sections of the PSEI. The NWSEH takes 15-30 minutes to administer and covers the full range of high magnitude stressor events with very detailed assessments of sexual and physical assault events.
At anytime during your life, has anyone used force or threats of force to make you have some type of unwanted sexual contact?

Knox County Schools Superintendent, Dr. Jim McIntyre, answered questions about the new state teacher evaluations and announced some early results about Knox County teachers at a town hall meeting on Tuesday evening.
McIntyre told the small crowd gathered in the auditorium at Bearden High School that 600 Knox County teachers have started the evaluation process. As of November 8, 2011, 50% of them have earned a "3" grade. Teachers are graded on a scale of one to five; one is lowest, five is highest. He said those early numbers are average and in line with state expectations. For comparison, 22% of teachers earned a "4", 7.5% earned a "5", 21% earned a "2", and .4% earned a "1". Newer teachers have to earn "4's" and "5's" to eventually earn tenure.
"I think there needs to be some staff development on it so we can see a four or a five teacher. Show us photos. Show us videos of what a four or a five teacher looks like," said Sherry Morgan, President of the Knox County Education Association and a long-time Knox County teacher.
McIntyre said the evaluations are designed to promote growth and support teachers in those efforts. He also said the district will provide teachers with other forms of support to earn higher evaluation grades, "Specific workshops and seminars on some of the instructional strategies that are supported by the evaluation system."

Chiefs return starters to the court
SARANAC — The Saranac varsity boys basketball team will look very familiar when it takes to the floor in 2012-13.
Head coach Brent Denis will look to the same starting five that he had last year in seniors Connor Christopherson, Austin Medeiros, Michael Conway, Jeremy Bullis and Nick Daniels.
"Our strength lies in our returning players," Denis said. "Jeremy Bullis enters his fourth year of varsity basketball and Connor Christopherson who enters his third year have been exceptional leaders during the pre-season. They have taken the newcomers by the hand and showed them the value of hard work and commitment. We are very fortunate to have their leadership."
Denis said that the team should be strong defensively and be able to make baskets anywhere on the offensive end.
"I am encouraged by our perimeter play and ability to shoot the ball," he said.
While the starting five bring a wealth of experience, Denis said that his bench will have to learn the varsity game on the fly.
"As a result, I would not consider us deep but I do expect our younger talent to compete for a spot in the starting lineup," he said.

Qatar Airways to Start Doha-Belgrade Flights in September
June 13 (Bloomberg) -- Qatar Airways will start flights between Doha and Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia, as of September, the Balkan nation's Civil Aviation Directorate said, after its officials signed a bilateral air-traffic pact.
The accord "is a very modern act that will lead to traffic liberalization between Serbia and Qatar," the Civil Aviation Directorate said in an e-mail today.
The pact is "similar to open skies agreements we have here in Europe and that means any airlines from Qatar which may want to fly to Belgrade will be granted a license," said Katarina Andric-Milosavljevic, the spokeswoman for the directorate.

Taipei. Taiwan's coastguard seized more than 2,500 protected turtles bound for dinner plates in China, officials said Sunday, calling it the biggest smuggling case of its kind they had ever seen.
Coastguard officials discovered the 2,626 rare turtles — 1,180 Asian yellow pond turtles and 1,446 yellow-lined box turtles — in a container on board a vessel in Kaohsiung, a port in the south of Taiwan, on Saturday.
The coastguard arrested a man with the surname Cheng but declined to provide more details because the masterminds behind the operation have yet to be found.
The animals were to be eaten or used as an ingredient there in traditional medicine, officials said.
"After consuming up their own turtles, now they are turning their eyes to Southeast Asia and Taiwan," Lin Kuo-Chang, head of conservation affairs at Taiwan's Council of Agriculture, told AFP.
Because wild turtle populations are on a sharp decline in China, market prices have surged to about five times those of Taiwan, which is separated by 200 kilometer straits from the Chinese mainland.
"Since the turtles are not seen often in the wild, many people must have been involved in the illegal catching," said Wu Sheng-Hai, a life science professor at National Chung Hsing University in Taipei.
The two types of turtles are classified in the second category of Taiwan's three-category wildlife protection list, which means they carry a "rare and valuable" designation — one step below endangered.

HOOVER, Ala. — For a moment, Jadeveon Clowney separated himself from the scene around him, the dozens of inquisitive eyes and ears brought here by his enthralling performances over the past two seasons.
He was considering a question about being assigned a personal security guard to follow him Tuesday at Southeastern Conference football media days. After saying he loves interacting with fans and didn't need a security guard — stand next to Clowney, and you will agree — he let his imagination wander for a moment, as 20-year-old kids are wont to do.
He pondered a life where nobody recognized him, an existence he hasn't entirely known since his junior year of high school. He envisioned stepping into the crowds that watched him pass Tuesday afternoon at The Wynfrey Hotel. He considered what it would feel like to not be Jadeveon Clowney in this halcyon summer of 2013.
"I just imagine if it wasn't me," he said of the famous man with a security guard. "I'd be mad, like, 'Dang, I wish I was that guy.' Being that guy is the greatest thing ever."
Clowney's life only figures to improve, and part of that involves eventually cashing in the personality — his brand, as marketing wizards say — that he showed Tuesday. After finishing his junior season this fall at South Carolina, he will be the NFL draft's No. 1 pick. A defensive end, he is considered one of the most promising defensive prospects of the past 30 years.
Anyone who watched his games the past two years knows he is a remarkable player. He showed Tuesday, in the most prominent off-field public appearance of his life, what the rest of being Jadeveon Clowney is like — equal parts folksy, candid, silly and engaging.
When he was a freshman, Clowney was reserved in media interviews, but quarterback Connor Shaw said teammates always saw a more outgoing Clowney. Wide receiver Bruce Ellington said the Gamecocks "just sit in the room and laugh at him all day." Clowney opened up publicly more last season. On Tuesday, bouncing from room to room, surrounded by hundreds of reporters, he let it all hang out, cracking wise and taking jabs at opponents, smiling all the way.
Does his behavior in an artificial social setting like this really matter?
Not to on-field results, per se. But few college sports media settings are more absurd and awkward than the annual SEC football human zoo. Look comfortable here, as Clowney did Tuesday, and you will probably appeal to companies seeking a face for their product. Combine that with athletic talent and a major or even mid-major media market, and you'll have steady income for life. It worked for another defensive end, Michael Strahan.
"You've got some really good players that, when they get to the next level, some of them take advantage of the opportunities, and some of them don't," said USC senior associate athletic director Charles Bloom, who coordinates marketing and ushered Clowney around Tuesday.
Most athletes now recognize there is little to be gained from completely walling yourself off from the public. Give people even a little of yourself, and you get a lot. Or, as Ellington put it, "It's all about your brand." Clowney gave plenty Tuesday, offering amusing responses to wide-ranging questions.
Could he tackle Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, the Heisman Trophy winner, if they met in the SEC championship game?
"Can he get away from me, though?" Clowney said, grinning. "That's the question. But yeah, I can tackle Johnny Manziel." (This is a line he essentially repeated, along with a couple others, in different interview rooms. Like any successful public figure, he is learning what charms.)
What would he say to Vincent Smith, the Michigan running back whose helmet he famously popped off with a ferocious hit in the Outback Bowl?
"I would be like, 'Hey, how you feel, man?'" Clowney said.
His thoughts on Tennessee's elite offensive tackle, Antonio Richardson, who he beat for a game-clinching strip sack last season: "He is the best at holding and getting away with it."
Clowney's response when opponents trash talk him during games, as he said Richardson did: "That's all you're going to do, but you ain't blocking me."
Clowney even mixed in a squeaky-voiced impression of USC coach Steve Spurrier — complete with mimicking Spurrier's fist-bump greeting — and told a winding, unintentionally funny story about how he got a sore throat by cramming down lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the offseason to gain a few pounds he thought he needed.
Of course, none of this attention is new to Clowney, who said fans have pulled him over in his car at stop lights to get a picture. And for now, most of it is welcome. He said walking around campus and hearing people holler his name is "the greatest feeling in the world."
This has always been him, teammates say — the life of the room, with a presence large enough to match his 6-6, 270-pound body. But now, he is letting you have some of him, too.
"I guess I'm getting used to this thing right here," he said, spreading his arms out to the 50 or so reporters in front of him. "I'm starting to catch on to it, have fun with it. People always tell me, 'You've got a good personality. You're good for TV.' I was like, 'All right, I've got to get my own TV show.'"

The Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranch in Safety Harbor was the third residential child care program established by the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Inc. In early 1975, the Youth Ranches was still searching for the means to launch a coeducational program - a facility which would allow brothers and sisters to stay together as they worked out their problems - later that same year, the lengthy search ended.
In the winter months of 1975, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Salls donated several cattle to the Youth Ranches and, later, promised to give their large home and land. With a few minor renovations to the Salls' residence, the first cottage was ready to accept siblings in August of 1978.
The Youth Ranch campus consists of an administration building, multi-purpose activity center, swimming pool, maintenance building, chapel and three cottages. The Youth Ranch has the capacity for 30 youth in three spacious cottages.
Through the generosity and support of many friends, the Youth Ranches is able to continue to help children and families throughout the state of Florida.

Posted: March 24, 2014|
NOTTINGHAM Forest have confirmed the sacking of manager Billy Davies.
Davies has been relieved of his duties following a poor run of results, culminating in Saturday's 5-0 thrashing at arch rivals Derby County, which has seen the team drop out of the Championship play-off places.
A Forest club statement read: "Nottingham Forest Football Club have confirmed the termination of manager Billy Davies' employment.
"The club thank Mr Davies for his efforts during his second spell as manager since his re-appointment in February 2013 and wish him well for the future.

Howdy. Welcome to my half-baked blog. I write a lot about political theory, social movements, and grassroots strategies and tactics. This site is a space where I drop tentative, rough-around-the-edges ideas without first having to work all the way through them. Because the process of writing and posting regularly helps me to keep at it. And because maybe someone who reads something here will have related ideas — or suggested readings — that I should consider before I spend 100 hours refining my thoughts. So yeah, this is my sloppy blog. You've been warned. You can find my other writing at jonathansmucker.org.
One thought on "About"
Hi Johnathon,
I just came across your site and have found it to be very interesting. I am author and journalist who specializes in writing and publishing stories of ordinary people changing the world, and a long-time social change agent (I won't say activist) in the Twin Cities area. I had an article published recently in the national PSJA newsletter. I have just published the second book in my compassionate rebel series called The Compassionate Rebel Revolution: Ordinary People Changing the World which should give you a different perspective on the word "revolution." A local peace and justice professor is currently working on an educator's guide that will be used with the book in college and high school classrooms. It should be ready for winter quarter.
Please go to my website at compassionaterebel.com and read about the book. The Foreword should tell you everything you need to know but there also chapter excerpts and other links. If you are interested in getting a copy for review and possible recommendations, for its use, or just want to discuss it, let me know.
Peace and best wishes. And welcome to the revolution.
Burt Berlowe

US officials say two regional jets that departed Washington Reagan National airport the afternoon of 31 July were at no time on a head-on collision course with an inbound aircraft coming the opposite direction, countering earlier media reports about the incident.
"At no point were these planes on a head to head collision course," says US Department of Transportation secretary Ray LaHood. "There was a loss of separation - it shouldn't have happened. But a well-trained controller at the [Reagan National] tower immediately recognized the situation and worked quickly to fix it."
Acting Federal Aviation Administrator Michael Huerta, during the 2 August press conference, said separation between two of the regional jets - an inbound Republic Airlines flight and an outbound Chautauqua airlines aircraft - should have been at least 3nm (5.6km) laterally and 1,000ft (305m) vertically. Instead the two aircraft came within 0.82nm laterally and 800ft vertically, says Huerta.
A second departing regional jet, Republic airlines flight 3467, came within 2.07nm laterally and 800ft vertically of the inbound Republic airlines aircraft.
"Two departing aircraft came within these [separation] margins in relation to a plane that was landing at DCA. But at no point were any of the planes headed directly for one another," says Huerta. He says the problem related to "a miscommunication between a manager at the Potomac Tracon facility and two traffic management coordinators at the [Reagan National] tower".
LaHood says the FAA has launched a full investigation. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has said it will also investigate.
Air traffic controller audio and video from controllers' screens provided by the FAA reveal a frazzled tower controller and frustrated airline pilots during the mid-afternoon incident.
The situation unfolded when convective weather and wind required the airport to switch operations on the primary runway from a northbound arrival/departure procedure to a southbound procedure.

Fujifilm wowed us last year with their range of super-rugged compact cameras and are back again with three new products which will take anything you can throw at them
Fujifilm have announced they are going to showcase three brand-new rugged outdoor cameras in the form of their XP150, XP100 and XP50, all of which are designed to combat the stresses of being in the great outdoors.
At the top of the range is the XP150 which boasts some serious defensive capabilities against the elements. Waterproof to 10m, shockproof to 2m, dustproof and also freezeproof to -10 degrees.
The XP150 also has a double-locking door which houses and protects the battery, memory card and connectivity ports. The entire range also features a 14-megapixel CMOS sensor which will shoot video in full 1080p HD.
Available with GPS built-in (XP150) or without (XP100) the new range also boasts a water-resistant coating on the extra-strength lens making sure that no matter how bad the weather you'll still get the perfect shot.
Finally the XP50 offers up some similarly weather defiant specs but instead offers waterproofing to 5m, shockproofing to 1.5m and also lacks GPS, what you do get in return however is some cash in your pocket.
With a full announcement coming at CES 2012 there's as yet no word on UK pricing as yet but expect the range to be hitting shops around mid-March.
What do you think, is the XP150 the most 'lifeproof' camera there is? Let us know what you think via the comments box below...

Gates' home is built into a hillside on the edge of Lake Washington, near Seattle. The 66,000-square-foot compound includes a 60-foot swimming pool with an underwater music system, a domed library with two "secret" bookcase doors and a 1,000-square-foot dining room.
Warren Buffett
Omaha, Neb
Net Worth: $52 billion
Rank: 2
Warren BuffetAt the rate Buffett is giving away his money, it won't be long before net worth matches the value of his home. He still resides in the 6,000-square-foot gray stucco home he bought in 1958 for $31,500. In 2004, Buffett sold one of his two Laguna Beach, Calif., properties, but still has one valued at about $4 million.
Lakshmi Mittal
London, England
Net Worth: $32 billion
Rank: 5
Lakshmi MittalIn 2004, Mittal paid $128 million for this townhouse in the posh Kensington neighborhood known as Billionaires' Row. Mittal's mansion, tucked between Kensington Palace and the Sultan of Brunei's spread, has garage space for 20 cars and is embellished with marble taken from the same quarry that supplied the Taj Mahal. Mittal has another home in the city and is said to have residences in Delhi, Indonesia and Trinidad.
Larry Ellison
Woodside, Calif.
Net Worth: $21.5 billion
Rank: 11
Larry EllisonThe Oracle co-founder set jaws a-dropping in 2003 when he spent $65 million on five beachfront properties in Malibu so he could create a custom compound (a local real estate agent said Ellison bought one house just for the pool). Then there's his mega-estate in Woodside, pictured here, about 30 miles south of San Francisco. Set on 23 acres, it's reminiscent of an imperial Japanese palace.
Paul Allen
Mercer Island, Wash
Net Worth: $18 billion
Rank: 19
Paul AllenEven though Allen's wealth exceeds the gross domestic product of most small nations, he prefers to make his home just outside of Seattle, where he grew up. The single mogul's mother also lives on the compound, which includes a 10,000-square-foot mansion, 400 feet of Lake Washington waterfront and a National Basketball Association regulation-sized gym (he owns the Portland Trailblazers, after all).
Michael Dell
Austin, Texas
Net Worth: $15.8 billion
Rank: 30
Michael DellDell's 33,000-square-foot mega-mansion is perched on a hilltop in the college town where he founded his eponymous computer company. Though he reportedly spent tens of millions of dollars building the estate, in the late 1990s he wrangled with local assessors over its value, which was finally pegged at $12 million.

Kanye West is a man of his word.
Just a couple of days after deleting all of tweets and leaving his 8.6 followers with a simple "Be back soon," West, 35, is tweeting again -- this time, to pay homage to Apple's late co-founder, Steve Jobs.
PHOTOS: Kim and Kanye pack on the PDA
"WE LOST STEVE A YEAR AGO TODAY . . ." West wrote Friday evening, using his signature all-caps style. "HE IS ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING AND INFLUENTIAL HUMAN BEINGS OF OUR EXISTENCE ALONG WITH MICHAEL JACKSON, WALT DISNEY AND DR. [MARTIN LUTHER] KING."
Added West, "LET'S BE THANKFUL FOR HIS LIFE AND RESPECT HIS LEGACY BY NEVER COMPROMISING ON OUR FUTURE."
VIDEOS: Kanye tells Kim how to dress
Prior to clearing his Twitter feed, the outspoken Grammy winner was known for his always entertaining, often outrageous musings about life on the A-list. (Among the best? "I specifically ordered persian rugs with cherub imagery!!! What do I have to do to get a simple rug with cherub imagery uuuuugh," he wrote in July 2010. And, "I hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle," he tweeted that October.)
PHOTOS: Why Kim and Kanye are the perfect match
More recently, West had been keeping his Twitter transmissions short and sweet.
"Mercy," he captioned a photo of girlfriend Kim Kardashian, 31, in a formfitting backless Tom Ford dress in early August. A few days later he let his followers know, "I wrote the song 'Perfect Bitch' about Kim."

Video:Identifying Poisonous Snakeswith Donald Schultz
Avoid a potentially life threatening situation by learning how to identify common types of poisonous snakes. If you do end up facing off against a rattlesnake or cobra, we'll show you how to react.See Transcript
Transcript:Identifying Poisonous SnakesMy name's Donald Schultz from Animnal Planet's Wild Recon.
Identifying Venomous SnakesA good way of telling a venomous snake in North America is if it has a triangular head it's more than likely venomous. In California the best way to tell a venomous snake is if it has a rattle it's venomous. As you start going towards the east coast, you start getting lappids like coral snakes which is hard to tell apart because they have these bright colors you also get snakes that look the same.
But one of the sure fire ways of telling something that's really deadly is if you look at its head it has a really highly triangular shape. It basically means it's highly toxic.
Neotropical RattlesnakeAnd what I have here is called a neotropical rattle snake and the interesting thikng is they have a highly selective neuro-toxic venom which has huge implications for pharmaceutical research and fortunately in North America you have a high amount of rattlesnakes and they're easy to find. And, unlike some snakes in Africa, they also pretty readily bite.
What to Do When You See a SnakeThe best thing to do when you see a snake is back away. If you see a snake in the wild the best thing to do is just to back away. The majority of snake bites in excess of peole trying to catch or kill sankes, most of them are called illegitimate bites where people are trying to mess around with snakes, kill them, catch them, move them around. The best thing to do when you see a snake is just to leave it alone.
The Forest CobraAnd this is probably one of my favorite cobras in the whole world. It comes from my homeland of South Africa. It's called a Forrest Cobra. One of the few arborial cobras in the world and one of the interesting things is, as soon as you grab a forrest cobra they pretty much grab you. If you look at his tail, it just pretty much wraps around my arm. And that's the scariest place to be when you have a giant deadly snake attached to you and you're not going anywhere and it's not going anywhere. And they're extremely intelligent, extremely toxic and get to about nine feet in length. Their venom is highly nero toxic and has huge potential in using it in treating things like seizure disorders. A bite from a big forrest cobra like this could kill you in less than an hour and obviously getting bitten by a huge snake like this is a huge medical emergency. The problem with forest cobras is once they bite down on you they hardly ever let go.
The Gaboon ViperAnd this is a gaboon viper, one of the most interesting snakes in Africa. Contrary to popular belief these snakes are not mindless killers and people have actually stepped on them in the wild and not been bitten. It's one of the biggest vipers in the world and the biggest viper in Africa. The fastest striking snake in Africa and the longest fangs of any venomous snake in the world, they can get to two and a half inches long. There's a highly cardio toxic venom, so it basically shuts your heart down. And people have died within half an hour of being bitten by a Gaboon Viper.
So, in the states it kind of works, you have some animals that have triangular shaped heads that aren't toxic but you also have rattlesnakes, copperheads, cotton mouths that have a triangular shaped head and are highly highly toxic animals.

Texas found no cheaters in the latest round of steroids tests of high school athletes.
The University Interscholastic League on Thursday released
results of tests for the spring semester of the 2009-2010 school
year. Of the 3,308 boys and girls tested last semester, all of the
student athletes were clean.
About 50,000 tests since February 2008 have found only about 20
confirmed cases of steroid use.
The program has been shrinking since lawmakers created it in
2007 with a $3 million annual budget. In May 2009, when the small
number of positive tests caused some to question whether testing
should be stopped, state lawmakers cut the program to $1 million
Budgets cuts have prompted more cuts. Last May, state officials
reduced the program budget to $750,000.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Slaves in Love promises some of "the most submissive slave girls in the net", which is likely because they're in love with their masters. 24.85 Euro per month gives access to the current archive of 88 videos and 869 photosets, with new image updates coming in each week.
Exclusive & Original Fetish Scenes.
I love the original Slave fetish scenes being offered here. There is a great sense of realness to the girls, the scenes, the affection between slave and master, the pain, the pleasure, all of it. There are more pics than videos here but the scenes are hot, the expressions real, and the content just overall unique.
Some Nice Looking Content.
Image sizing is nice and large, offering really good sharpness and clarity while still giving that amateur appeal. Same goes for the videos, the latest of which are offered with HD specs and look really nice.
Other Good Stuff:
Site Design Needs Work.
This is a highly amateurishly designed site. It's almost painful getting around. They try to organize things on the main member's page with a couple of content categories but overall the design lacks browse and user options, a model index, or any other kind of tools to get around.
Download Options Are Lacking.
Akin to the site design, download options are lacking. First, there is no in-browser stream offered and WMV is your only file format these days, with the older videos offering AVI only. All videos are broken into parts without a full-length option for viewing/downloading. There are no quality options, alternate file formats, etc. ZIPs are not offered for the image sets.
Lack of Scene And Model Info.
For a site offering such unique content you'd think some background info on the Masters and Slaves would be a minimum, but there's nothing. There also isn't any scene info provided, this was a big negative for me.
Minor Negatives:
Original scenes but lack of info, browse & download options hurts.
I like the idea behind this site, but other than the actual content, I just don't think they executed it well. While the quality of the newest stuff is looking nice, the overall design, lack of model and scene info, download options and everything else is disappointing. Even if I loved this site I'm not sure I could afford it, and there just isn't enough edge here to justify it either.
