Never before has such a moustache displayed such melancholy.
This is the first photo I've shared where I performed EVERY step of the #film photography process, from loading the cartridge, right through to developing and scanning. It's far from perfect, and I know my local lab would do a better job, but I'm proud to be learning and developing my craft (pun intended).
Today marks the end of a very long project for me. I'm hugely proud to present to you all a chapter of the Presence App that I've been working on since the spring.
Presence is an App for iOS and Android devices that offers a dose of creativity hoping to inspire meditation and prayer. Search for it on your device and download it! The most recent chapter will be called At The Table.
Some thanks:
Firstly to Jess Hall, the vocalist and songwriter for letting me bring her accapella folk tune into an electronic soundscape. Her drive for perfection on vocals and amazing performance ability have been inspirational over the last few months.
To Andy, for believing that shooting a short movie through plastic lenses to 35mm film cartridges would be a good idea in 2016. It's a privilege count on his friendship and encouragement.
To Barney, for taking his unique voice on the cello and filling the track with all of the awesome.
To Gerard, for providing a poem crafted with such honesty and hope.
To everyone at Lomography for their continued belief in film photography and in me.
To the Linden Community where all are welcome At The Table.
I've got a new article up on Lomography!
"In this new series photographer and analogue enthusiast Simeon Smith talks about the use of minimalism in photography and how he applied this method to his own work using the LC-A+ camera."

It's been FAR too long since you heard some new music from me. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love all the music I make with and for different people, but it's been too long since I released some music from me, for me, MY music. So here it is. For people that don't know, I'm going through some pretty bad mental health times, and have been for a while. The whole shit-storm of the current socio-economic/political backdrop, the constant disinformation from the media, racism and prejudice bubbling to the surface of our dysfunctional society, all these things have served to lower the mood of the nation further. It's time to kick back against these things. It's time for community, for love, for parties, for joy. Time to do something constructive. So here's a small contribution: If I Can't Dance, I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution.
Facebook has reminded me that six years ago TODAY I bought a Lomo Smena Symbol, my first fully manual film camera. Six years later, my first exhibition has just finished, photography articles I've written have been published, I've reviewed a lens for Lomography, camera resources I've developed have been downloaded thousands of times and am just planning out my second short shot to film.
Film has given me so much over the last few years, it's been a great help with my mental health and has helped me to slow life down. Here's to film!
(Photo shot to 35mm film on a Diana Mini camera, a beautiful plastic lens legend that jams like a bitch!)
Peeps! You still have time to bid in my silent auction for one of the photos in my exhibition at Square Peg.
The photos on show have all been shot candidly and in black and white on my 1938 Leica IIIa.
I'm trying something a little different and doing a "silent auction" of the photography, not looking for just cash, but for anything people might want to offer in exchange for my photography, be it their own art, or anything that takes their fancy (seriously, the crazier the better!). I'd love to exchange one of my images for your grandmother's brownie recipe, a T-shirt you printed for me, a lesson in a sport I've never tried, or a hot stone massage.
If you'd like to take part in the silent auction without visiting the exhibition email firstname.lastname@example.com and if your offer is the best, I'll email back. I've already had some great ideas sent through!
If you prefer slightly more conventional transactions, you can straight-out buy prints via Saatchi Art at www.saatchiart.com/simeonsmith
Here are the 4 images I'm displaying at Square Peg:
It's been a bit crazy, this analog photography ride. But it's treating me well.
I started shooting on film a few years ago, just messing around, and before I knew it, my camera sample packs had spread across the blogosphere, Lomography sent me their analog video camera for free for me to shoot a music video, and I was reviewing an amazing new lens for my old Leica.
Now, my photos are hanging publicly for the first time, at Square Peg in Sketty, Swansea.
I'd love you to pop in and have a look. Better still, check out my "silent auction" while you're in there.
Now, I realise that not all of you live in Swansea, or will be visiting Sketty in the next month or so, but I still want you to be able to bid in the silent auction. So if you'd like to bid on any of the photos, or have anything that you'd like to offer (seriously, the crazier and more awesome the better!) in exchange for one of the images, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and if your offer is the best, I'll email back.

Thanks for reading!
Excited to play this gig on Sunday!
The App is already live on iTunes store, just search "Presence Andy Hunter".
Sent some edited tracks off to Rich at Maze Hill Films last night. Woke up to an email that reads:
"Thanks for sending these through so quickly. I absolutely love them! They're a perfect match for the energy of the video."
Amazing boost to the start of my day.
If you love someone's work today, make time to tell them! Kindness makes the world go round.

REPOST. This is the video that Youtube censored.
I uploaded to Youtube a music video containing short, repeating loops of an infomercial, passed through a glitcher. This was a visual representation of one of the tracks on my new release.
It was hard on the eyes.
It was purposefully hard on the eyes.
This is because tailored advertising based on our kidnapped personal information is shoved down our retinas at such a pace we become accustomed to seeing shite. The corporations killing our society spend a lot of time and effort making their advertising easy on the eyes. But it shouldn't be.
Advertising corporate greed should be fucking hard on the eyes.
So I tried to represent that in a two and a half minute music video.
And the music video was removed from YouTube. This was their explanation:
"It's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted, or repetitive content to YouTube."
And yet Google, their parent company, shoves unwanted, repetitive adverts on every available inch of my computer screen.
Luckily, for me, there's only one thing better than posting a purposefully glitched and repetitive artwork as a commentary on our broken civilisation, and that is being censored by a multinational for posting a purposefully glitched and repetitive artwork as a commentary on our broken civilisation.
Multinationals own the world, and own the minds of many of us. They censor artists because stylistically they disagree with the content. Which is pretty fucking ironic seeing as I was parodying their own practices.
Hopefully this can generate some thought about how much advertising we are forced to consume.
Please share if this has got you thinking.

I am so proud of myself right now.
The absolute joy of being able to finish an album and put it out that same day.
This is my side-project, donotrunwithpixels. And if you're hoping for something a bit like the stuff I usually make, then no. No, no, no. Nope.
This is half anarchy / half drum'n'bass with a large side of salty salty fries.
I wrote and performed on one Nintendo Game Boy. No overdubs. No additional instruments.
Stream and download it on the link above or it'll appear on iTunes, Spotify, etc over the next week or so. And if you'd like to sling me a few quid for it that'd be grand! I'd also love to play this live, so hook me up with a gig or two, homies?
I've released my chip tune side project's last 3 EPs on every major music retailer online. Just a bit of an experiment. Have a listen. The link above is for amazon, but it'll also be appearing on Spotify, Apple Music and any other instrument of oppression you can think of.
Oh, so earlier this week the Lines Community Remix Project was released, curated by and featuring MOI, alongside some altogether sickeningly talented artists. The lines community is truly beautiful and can be found here: www.llllllll.co and the album can be found here: https://mcrpmusic.bandcamp.com - I wanted to wait until it vinyl preorders were up, but they've been delawww.llllllll.co and the album can be found here: https://mcrpmusic.bandcamp.com - I wanted to wait until it vinyl preorders were up, but they've been delayed by a few days. Big love, and let me know what you think about the release!
Last night's performance was such fun, a great evening with friends and impromptu vocals from a couple of great MCs. If you missed it, sorry, but that's probably the last performance of my own music I'll be able to do this year. Over the next two month's I've got to finish up with Elly's EP that myself and Andy are recording, write and record the soundtrack to the new Spotlight movie, learn double bass parts for Captain Cat with whom I shall be playing from now on, and learn bass guitar parts for a covers band I'm performing with over Christmas and New Year. Oh, and there's the small matter of having a family and a job…
At some point in the next couple of months a track that I've already completed will be out as part of a new compilation album, but last night was the last time I'll work on my own music until the new year.
Totally got released on the new Dragon Era album.

I have struggled with hypochondria on and off since I was 16. This is the fear of dying, thinking I have diseases I don't have, and convincing my self that even mild pain is related to something bigger thats slowly killing me. When I type it out it sounds absolutely ridiculous but it's real. If I'm feeling fine physically I don't have much anxiety or depression. If something is off though… a stomach ache, a cold, any illness I go into full blown panic mode. For the last three months I've been dealing with a health issue. It's nothing that will kill me but it's frustrating, unpleasant, and scares me. I start wondering if there is something more serious going on that I'm not aware of. I have a lot of stomach pain and I have panic attacks at night because I start to worry that I'm actually dying. Every day we hear about people getting diagnosed with cancer and other life threatening illnesses. I'm terrified that I'm next.
I don't want to let this fear exist though. I don't want to think this way and just writing this and putting the words down shows me how ridiculous it is. The fear that I carry with me every day is actually worse than the physical pain I feel. What I put myself through mentally is completely unnecessary and makes my life miserable. But it's all in my head. I'm creating all of it and putting myself through hell for no reason. I'm aware that if I actually am dying then worrying about it is not going to help. In fact it will probably make it worse because stress weakens your immune system. I'm tired of letting my anxiety define me.
I've been laying in bed for almost three days, barely able to work and uninspired to make music. My anxiety is debilitating. My heart races, I feel depressed, I'm weak, and have no energy. All I can do is worry. The more I worry the worse I feel and the worse I feel the more I worry. It's a vicious cycle and I do not want to live life like this. I've felt this before and I was prescribed anti anxiety medication which I took for two years and actually quit in May. It made me a robot. I don't want to be a robot. I want to be normal and I want to control my anxiety and get through it.
How many other people are suffering from this. Anxiety can ruin your life. It's crazy because we invent it, we allow it, and it's not REAL.
I have the most amazing life. Everything I've ever wanted is finally happening but I'm not enjoying it because I'm too busy worrying. I want to put a stop to this. I'm acknowledging that it's ridiculous and I'm putting this out there for anyone else who has a similar problem. I want to be in control again. My anxiety is not serving me. Worrying will not help the situation. I've worried about dying before and it's never been real. It's all in my head. I want to break the cycle once and for all. Release from worry.
Thanks for sharing something so personal, Roniit. I'm struggling with some similar issues myself and have just started new medication for the condition, so it's so good hear I'm not alone with this kind of struggle. I wish you all the best and hope it improves soon.
My new EP. Out today.
Well okay, perhaps not so much new as… preowned, rethought, upcycled.
The keenest ears amongst you are thinking "some of these tracks… I've heard before" and you'd be right.
There's that track off of the last Dragon Era compilation, rereleased on this EP just ahead of the new Dragon Era comp dropping next month (also featuring yours truly). There's that track off of The Leap comp, my first release on a US label. There's the track off of that video with all of the coloured and picture vinyl. And that track off of the This Could Be Beautiful promo video.
These last few days have been a time of reflection for me, a time to collect, organise, and move on.
But there's new in with the old.
There's that track which never got released on that other compilation album. And heading them all up there's that track which no one has heard yet from the forthcoming video I'm working on with Lomography.
All of this repackaged with a stunning cover from Rachael at ourbeautifuladventure.co.uk
When I started this solo project I vowed to myself that I wouldn't get bogged down with release schedules, deadlines, marketing campaigns and all of the other stuff that You Are Supposed To Do when releasing music to Grow Your Audience, Aide Revenue Generation and Create Space In The Already Crowded Music Marketplace. Because I really don't care about all that stuff. I care about music, I care about creating it in an environment that is healthy for me and my family. I care about sharing it with people for whom it'll mean something. And if you're reading this hopefully that'll be you.
So last night I was a Dad. I took my son swimming. Ate some cold Domino's pizza with him. Got the kids to bed. Watched some Friends re-runs. Opened the door to the Tesco delivery man. Chatted to my mum on the phone. Uploaded an EP for release. Had a hot chocolate and went to bed.
Currently available on Bandcamp (pay what you want), iTunes (set price) and Apple Music (included in your membership). Soon to be available everywhere but digital distribution takes a few days.
Around 6 months ago I recorded the mechanical clicks and whirs of 4 old film cameras to use in my music, and uploaded the sounds to share freely with other artists. The sample pack spread across the internet and in the last few months I've received loads of encouraging emails from musicians, app designers, and film makers who have used the sounds in their work. It's been great to hear from all of you.
Because of the obsessive collector that I am, this first video didn't scratch the surface of my film camera collection, and there were a few beautiful sounding cameras that I hadn't recorded, hence this second collection.
Does the world need these samples? No. A bit of an overkill? Definitely. But kinda fun? Oh, yes.
The film camera's I've sampled for this second collection are:
A Lomography La Sardina (8 Ball edition).
A Lomokino 35mm manual video camera.
A FED 3 rangefinder with an Industar N-61 L/D lens.
A Zorki C rangefinder with an Industar 22 lens.
A Holga 120TLR medium format, twin lens reflex camera.
As with the first collection, these sounds are both free, and royalty free. If you use them in anything fun, send me a copy via my website: awonderfulkindofimpossible.co.uk

Yesterday my music went live on iTunes and Apple Music, and in the next few days it'll be going onto Amazon, Spotify, et al. For years I had this overzealous holier-than-thou approach to distribution that as a DIY Independent Upmyself Artist I shouldn't engage with corporations with questionable morals.
I was asked last night what changed.
And I'm not really sure.
Sometimes my Diana Mini takes stunning soft images with brilliant light leaks. Sometimes my Diana Mini Jams like a bitch. Sometimes my Diana Mini takes a few stunning soft images with brilliant light leaks and then jams like a bitch. Today was one of those days.
I received some brutally honest feedback on my music last week.
I have this side project, see, where I make music programming obsolete games consoles. This, believe it or not, is a THING, and there's a whole little sub-culture of tiny record labels, club nights full of bearded guys trying to get with the two female cosplayers who turned up and emo kids posing for photos with Game Boys. It's called "Chiptune", and if I didn't know that Howard reads this blog, I'd say it was part of "geek culture"*.
So, if you're still following, there's a chip tune label called "Chiptunes=WIN", every year they release an album of demos they've received mostly from unsigned chiptune artists. It's a big deal in the tiny sphere. My demo didn't make the cut, along with, apparently, around 170 other demos that they'd received. So I uploaded the track to chipmusic.org (the hub of this miniscule world) writing:
"Firstly, congratulations to all the talented artists that got onto the album… always an amazing way of discovering new awesome music. But given the number of submissions they receive there's gotta be a whole heap of tracks that didn't quite make the cut. Let's hear them!!"
First reply:
"Literally who cares"
So firstly, I kinda know the guy that posted this (off of other internet shenanigans), and I think he was trying to be flippant and funny – he often posts semi-trolling not-very-offensive comments, and I guess that's fine. His comments didn't particularly bother me.
The depressing thing is though, he's totally right. Nobody cares about independent music. There's too much independent music to care about. I'd like to think that I care about independent music and art, but in fact the amount of independent music and art I care about is very small in comparison to the hours and hours people upload every day. I've written before that artist's biggest problem is obscurity, but you can flip that on its head and say that the problem is audience apathy.
Welcome to the media overload, where content is an endless, indigestible, churning sea of passion, earnest, and hyperbole.
The second loudness war is upon us, fought on the battlefield of social media the only winners will be the marketing agencies.
*Following conversations with Howard, I now know that We Do Not Use That Word.
So a good few times over the last few years I've had this really annoying thing happen, and every time I've wanted to post about it, but I haven't because the perpetrator might read it and get really offended. Anyhow, it hasn't happened for a while, and I just remembered it, so here goes.
THEM: Hey Simeon! I really like your track X, can I use it in project Y?
ME: So glad you like it, let me know your budget and we can work it out.
THEM: Oh, I can't pay because (insert bullshit), but I was wondering if I could use it for free?
ME: Yeah, sure, whatever. At least you asked. Just make sure it's attributed.
THEM: So can you send it to me?
ME: Send you what?
THEM: Send me your track.
ME: You can just download as any format you'd like from my website.
THEM: Yeah, but can't you just send it to me?
ME: Is there a problem downloading it from my website?
THEM: It's just that your album costs £4.
…This conversation is one of the reasons that I made all my new tunes "pay-what-you-want". I don't want that kind of awkwardness. But still, if these people are THAT cheap when it comes to the rest of their film/media project I can see why so many of these projects don't get off the ground.
Anyhoo, that's another reason I love the fact that the new LEAP album (insert appropriate overzealous plug here) is pay what you want.
**EDIT** Reread this this morning and thought it was important to mention that I'm very fortunate to work with some great people that actually want to pay me for my work. A big "thank you!" to each of them. You rock.
So I already went on a rant on the Twitters and the Facebooks about this very late last night, so here is a more readable version. The Leap is a beautiful record label from The States that have put out some of my favourite releases of the last few years. They put out NO SIR E's Pocketed. They put out Tehn's Skyclad. They've now put out a compilation album and one of my tracks has made it on!
I could tell you how brilliant the album is, but it's already been reviewed, despite only being released hours ago. Josh said it "presents a stunning array of talented musicians from all over the world. the album's self-described genre is "beats," but the music runs the gamut of forward-looking sounds: idm, glitch, minimal drone techno, warped trip-hop, beatless ambient, and edging into places that can't be easily described. as a whole, the compilation is well-paced, contemplative, challenging, and surprisingly soothing."
For those of you interested in process, my track started as an experiment in what sounds I could get out of my Microbrute synth, so most of the melodic elements are from there - but the recording felt really rushed wanting to get it to it's best before the submission deadline. Listening back now a couple of months later I'm really happy with how it turned out and working to deadlines can really provide great focus.
Anyhow, big love to The Leap fam for making this happen and to all the other artists on the release.
Had an interesting conversation in the pub with Andy of international superstar DJ fandom (he'll fucking hate that I called him that, and that's why you should love it). We chatted Apple Music or Beats1 or whatever the new streaming service is called. He was pretty honest about how he's seen the devaluation of music and I was probably a little too optimistic about how Beats1 might be a way that more people can discover more music. Which is just the difference between a dad of 3 who's a self-employed musician and a dad of 3 who's an office worker and makes music in the time he's supposed to be using for sleep.
I said, rather flippantly, that most musician's biggest problem with the current music industry / web distribution channels / etc. is not profit erosion. It's obscurity. Nobody cares about you or your music so not many people download it. And you can distill that to nearly every corner of art. I recently read a thing about artists supported by their partner's salaries. The stats were fucking depressing man. But I realised on the drive home from the pub that the way I've been expressing my ideas (as I have just done) has been flawed and very pessimistic. Let me try it again by flipping it:
The average musician / artist cannot affect the market value of recorded music. We can affect how much people care about our music.
Tech companies aren't complaining about how cheap and devalued technology has become. They're just building brilliant shiny new black mirrors for us all to stare into, and boosting customer base to counter the tiny profits they're making on each unit.
And while this has changed the way that I'm now thinking about music marketing, I cannot see a practical way of applying this. Answers on a postcard please.
OOOOOOooookay! It'd been a while since I'd released any new music, so here's something new for your ears. Super-proud of this track. But before you hit download and leave this page back to your twitters and ebay bids and buzzfeed lists please read the following shamelessly self-interested promo:
The track above was first used on a promo video for the This Could Be Beautiful festival which I'm playing at in September. It's in Swansea and I'd love to see you there. I don't play live much these days so I'll be trying out some fun ideas. You can buy tickets here: http://thiscouldbebeautiful.blogspot.co.uk/
In other news, THIS THURSDAY ( like 11/06/2015 ) is the premier of a movie that I've been working on the soundtrack for. It's called Spotlight and the full info is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1443311645962822/ but in short, if you're in Swansea on Thursday come along. You can buy me a beer afterwards and tell me how brilliant my sound design for the project is. Or something.
Thanks people! Enjoy the music.
The past few weeks have been crazy in my family life, a lot of joy but a lot of stress and rubbish.
Anyhow music news goes like this, this Thursday the premier of the second Spotlight project will happen at the Odeon in town. So excited to hear my work on the sound system and see the films on the big screen.
My side-project donotrunwithpixels has a release out for Netlabel Day on July 16th check it out here: http://netlabelday.blogspot.co.uk/p/participating-artists.html
The Symbiotic Cube album seems to unfortunately have suffered delay after delay - I emailed David about it and he is still really keen but I've no idea when it'll be. Good news though is that it looks like The Leap will be doing a similar compilation, and I've submitted a similar track… meh. Place your bets on which might be out first.
I've been booked to play a lovely little arts festival. Collaborator/Inspiration Alone is also playing (He's the guy that remixed The Tower on that Cassingle). And my absolute bestfaces Captian Cat. And Howard is doing his Atlantis show which I've seen as is VERY GOOD. I'm basically saying you should go to the whole festival. But I'm playing Saturday, if you can only make one day (OBVS!)
So clicky through and preorder a ticket.
In other news, if you've yet to download the Dragon Era compilation that was released with an *exclusive track* from me it's still here, and it's still free: https://dragonera1.bandcamp.com/ AND WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN WAITING FOR!! IT'S BEEN PROMO'D ON THE BEEB AND EVERYTHING!
I realise this post has been entirely self-promoting and egotistical. Bugger.
Ah well.
Remember when Lomography interviewed me for their website? Oh yeah! That was today!
I live in the immediate world of the DIY artist. I finished a track last Wednesday. Last Thursday I filmed, edited and uploaded a simple video to accompany the track. That same evening I released the track via Soundcloud. 24hrs between me hearing the finished recording for the first time, and you hearing the finished product for the first time. We completed the Spotlight film project hours before the premier. Immediate art.
So I guess it's understandable that any kind of wait frustrates me. 72 hours for an upload to appear in the iTunes store seems like an eternity. 6 week lead time to press to vinyl?! You've got to be kidding me.
This is obviously a ridiculously childish attitude to take, but it's my attitude nonetheless.
I was contacted for an interview on Friday, agreed (obvs!) and haven't heard back. Perfectly reasonable business timescales for a busy marketing manager.
But it kills.
My release on Symbiotic Cube won't be out for another 2 weeks, but I'm itching for you to hear it now.
The Dragon Era compilation will be released the second week of April and that seems like a lifetime away.
I'm ready to go. The car is packed. The engine is running. I'm on the driveway beeping the horn.
The world has just stepped out of the shower and still hasn't picked what it's going to wear.
Well my camera sample pack only went and got picked up by synthtopia.com! The tinterwebs tell me they have around 140k unique visitors a month so that's extended my reach… a little bit?
Wow, the first two months of 2015 have been busy for me. Here's what I've been up to, musically:
- I recorded the soundtrack for the first Spotlight project. You can watch the final cut here: https://www.facebook.com/spotlightswansea
- Andy Hunter performed his Presence project with a small string section which I played double bass in. If you haven't caught Presence live yet, you really need to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25DdamOV3Jo
- If you make your own electronic music you might be interested in a sample pack I released: https://vimeo.com/120205155?from=facebook
- I completed a track for Symbiotic Cube, an international artist collective and audio-visual label that put out cool releases like THIS: http://symbioticcube.bandcamp.com/album/a-ur-cyclades It's for an album that'll be out in March.
- Also just putting the finishing touches to a track for the next Dragon Era compilation. Dragon Era organise gigs and compilation albums of electronic music from Wales. I took part in vol. 3 and 4 with my old project "Kinetic Monkey", and have been invited back with my solo project for vol. 6! Much excite. Here's a previous effort: https://dragonera.bandcamp.com/track/arp
- All of this while preparing my live set which is now completish. Tweet me if you'd like me to perform.
EDIT: Totally forgot to mention that one of my tracks was used by Joseph Gordon-Levitt's production company in a promo video. Psyched!
I sampled the clicks and whirs of four of my film cameras; the Lomo Lubitel, the Smena Cosmic Symbol, the Diana F and the Action Sampler. Please feel free to download the samples and use them freely in any production that takes your fancy. Let me know if they end up in any finished work - I'd be interested to see what becomes of these recordings.
You can download the samples here: soundcloud.com/sfgsmith/sets/old-camera-sample-pack
One of my tracks got picked up recently by Joseph Gordon-Levitt's production company, HitRecord, for one of their little content request videos. It's not at all a big deal, but it's great for me as it's another confirmation that my music does work with film and people might want that from me.
It did get me thinking about HitRecord's model - I discovered them a couple of months ago - they crowdsource content for their variety TV show. It's a lovely community, people really care and want to help others, and there's everything there from artists and animators, to musicians and writers. I thought I'd get more involved in the community when I found it, but I'm not sure how I feel about it all. Submit interesting pieces of music and if we like them we'll use them - sure, and that's what I've done. But some of the requests are really very specific and get a load of submissions, and the amount of work it'd take vs. the chance of them actually using your music just doesn't add up. I don't think anyones under any other illusion, but it's just not for me.
In other news, Bandcamp have started doing a Patreon model subscription service. Kinda neat as you can use the same company for content delivery. But still has all the pitfalls of Patreon, i.e. - nobody cares.
Anyway, tomorrow is the premier of a film project I've been working on with a load of 12 year olds - they talk about their lives in south Wales and wrote ideas for the soundtrack which I expanded into full tracks. You can see bits here: https://vimeo.com/117928748
Big love!
So that devilishly handsome slice of cool Mark Ronson has written a track by track listening guide to his new album, so I thought I might do the same for my EP because of reasons.
Track 1: Listen
Track 2: Keep listening
Track 3: Keep listening
Track 4: Listen, and then when it finishes go make yourself a cuppa.
Because writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Or something.
Tonight a track that Ben and I made the other week will be played on BBC Radio Wales, on the new music show sometime after 10pm. You can listen online here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiowales/on-air or you can tune in on an actual real digital radio or on FM (it's 93.9 in Swansea). This is kind of a big deal for me. If you like what you hear you can tweet @welshmusic to let the show know! Please share with your friends if you think they'd be interested.
This evening loads of people are reviewing their 2014s, listing events and highlights. I don't feel I can honestly do the same on social media as the lowest depths have been as dark as the highest heights have been joyful. Any list that I posted of highlights would either be disingenuous, or somehow incomplete. I'm not saying I've had a bad year, or even a mixed year; I've had a fucking awesome year. Anyhow, I tried to write music about it a few times during the year. This is probably the closest I got to the truth: https://soundcloud.com/sfgsmith/distance-and-completeness
So the plan was no release schedule, no demos to labels, only gigs in places I like with friends I love - All about the music, all about the art. Not about trying to garner attention. Not about making it.

Southern Mindanao
The area around Davao is ripe for adventures, from climbing Mt Apo and hiking opportunities in the Compostela Valley to exploring the long coastline, both north and south of the city, not to mention several offshore islands. It sees few foreign travellers, but does get more than its fair share of weekending Davaoeños.
Cagayan de Oro
Like university towns the world over, the energy and promise of youth endows otherwise ordinary places with a jolt of joie de vivre. Anyone over the age of 18 can feel like a fuddy-duddy walking the crowded, student-laden downtown streets of Cagayan de Oro (the 'Oro' refers to the gold discovered by the Spanish in the river here).
Relatively unspoiled and of an ideal size for exploration, Camiguin (cah-mee-geen) can be singled out for its imposing silhouette – drop it down next to Hawaii or Maui and it wouldn't look out of place. With over 20 cinder cones 100m-plus high, Camiguin has more volcanoes per square kilometre than any other island on earth.
Zamboanga & Around
When the sun sets in the Philippines, this city, whose otherwise banal skyline is punctuated by several minarets, is one of the last places to see it go. While Zamboanga City is geographically the end of the line, historically it's been a first step, from Islam's arrival to the islands in the 1400s to waves of migrants from the Sulu archipelago.
Historical and archaeological interest aside, this city sprawled along the banks of the Agusan River, 9km south of the coast, is a typical provincial city in every way – traffic-clogged, exhaust-fume-filled and growing. It is, however, a logical stop, even for a night, if you're travelling by boat and bus between the islands of Camiguin and Siargao.
General Luna & Around
Several blocks of dirt roads, dilapidated buildings and a few eateries ending in a public beach lined with a row of sari-sari (neighbourhood) stores and barbecue shacks: that's General Luna, and to the visitor who stays at one of the resorts on Cloud Nine, it might as well be the big city.

The world watched recently as two phenomenal runners –one American, the other Japanese– raced side by side in the final miles of the New York City Marathon, trading sixth and seventh places. It was not until the very end that Japan's Yuki Kawauchi slipped ahead of America's Meb Keflezighi by just three seconds. It looked like the runners were competing very intensely against each other, and they were.
But they were also collaborating.
After turning in one of the best performances by a Japanese runner in the New York race's history, Kawauchi in fact told reporters that without such competition, "I probably wouldn't have been able to push it this hard. I owe this race to Meb." Meanwhile, Keflezighi, who is 40 and ran the fastest marathon by a masters runner in American history, credited Kawauchi for helping him break the record.
As I visited Japan last weekend, it struck me that this moment in sports was a microcosm of the U.S.-Japan alliance. For 70 years, our countries have stood together as partners. We have run side by side --in a way competing, but mostly trying to push each other forward. President Obama and Prime Minister Abe have been trying to break through barriers --ranging from trade to climate change-- to further strengthen our bond. I went to Tokyo, in turn, to reaffirm our longstanding commitment to helping each other improve our transportation systems...
Since we announced our first round of awards in 2010, DOT's TIGER program has supported transportation projects that promise to transform cities, rural communities, and regions. For the 2015 TIGER grants --our seventh round—we've also selected a project whose benefits will help an entire state.
The State of Texas is receiving a TIGER 2015 grant for $20.8 million to replace more than 300 old and unreliable buses and vans in rural communities across the Lone Star State –the state with the largest rural population in America. These funds will also help build four new facilities to help maintain those vehicles and make it easier for people to connect to public transportation.
"Our rural residents rely on these transportation services to commute between jobs, school, doctor's appointments, and other destinations that help them maintain their independence while also contributing to the economy," said TxDOT Executive Director LtGen Joe Weber, USMC (Ret). "Without this funding, more than 70 percent of the rural transit fleet used for such services would be outdated by 2017."
The Port of Hueneme is thrilled to be awarded its first-ever U.S. Department of Transportation TIGER grant. The $12.3 million grant award provides critical funding for capital improvements including, deepening berths, strengthening our wharfs, modernizing our cargo infrastructure and building on-dock rail connections. The approximate balance of $12.2 million in project costs comes from port financing, private-sector dollars, and secured grants.
Specifically, this TIGER grant funds a crucial component of the Port of Hueneme's Intermodal Improvement Project, which will allow for larger-capacity vessels, increased cold storage and cargo treatment and handling capability to support increased agricultural imports and exports, as well as implementing on-dock rail improvements that will allow for more efficient transfer of cargo.
Cargo activities at Port of Hueneme create $1.1 billion a year in economic return to the community, generate $69 million in state and local taxes and sustains over 10,200 area jobs. This project promises to strengthen the port's asset utilization, enhance productivity, respond to customer demand, support growing import and export cargo flows, improve air quality and reduce regional congestion by offering efficient modal options...
America's trucking community, the men and women who travel our nation's highways carrying the goods that fuel our economy and support our daily life, know that safe truck parking is a necessity. They also know it's not easy to find. With a little help from TIGER, we're hoping to change that.
Nearly six million commercial motor vehicle drivers are out on our roads each day, a number that is expected to increase dramatically by 2045. That's why --in one of our most innovative TIGER grants ever-- DOT awarded $25 million to the Regional Truck Parking Information and Management System (TPIMS).
The Kansas Department of Transportation is the lead in this, but the important regional project includes seven other states: Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Funding will help selected key freight interstates in the region get parking information to truckers, who can then plan safe rest stops...
Talking TIGER
As we continue to roll-out our 2015 TIGER grants, I want to let you know what I've been doing to celebrate TIGER Day.
This morning, I was in Baltimore, MD, to announce our TIGER award of $10 million to support infrastructure improvements for the Southeast Baltimore Port Industry Freight Corridor Plan. This project will help the Port of Baltimore be a better neighbor to area residents even while it positions the Port for future growth.
In the early afternoon, I held a conference call with reporters nationwide about our TIGER projects, specifically the projects we funded in rural communities. I can't emphasize enough how important it is that DOT has a program like TIGER to help these often-overlooked and often-isolated communities get access to the transportation resources they need.
Finally, I found my way home. Not to Washington, DC, home of our DOT Headquarters, but to Charlotte, NC, my real hometown. There, I announced a $25 million TIGER grant to build the Gateway Station, a multimodal transit hub in Uptown Charlotte...
You call it October 29; here at DOT, we're calling it "TIGER day."
Earlier in the year, I announced the availability of $500 million in funding for the seventh round of our Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) competitive grant program. Within a few months, we reached out to State, County, and local governments; transit agencies; port authorities; metropolitan planning organizations; and other project sponsors with pre-application instructions, benefit-cost analysis guidelines, a best-practices webinar, and other resources to ensure that communities across America with unfunded transportation needs had a fair shot at a TIGER grant.
The applications rolled in --627 eligible applications in all, from 50 states, several U.S. territories, and Tribal governments. Applicants requested a total of $10.1 billion for needed transportation projects, 20 times the program's available funding.
And today, we're announcing the 39 projects selected...
Last week, street artists repainted much of Denver with a Back to the Future theme, commemorating the day that Marty McFly and Doc traveled to in their time machine. But, at the "Transportation Matters" Colorado DOT summit today in Denver, I had to break the news that, no, we do not have hover-cars yet, or flyways.
Soon however, we are likely to have cars that talk to each other and even drive themselves. In fact, we could see automation completely transform how we travel and how we move freight.
The potential innovations we see on the horizon aren't just fun and games. If we're going to continue moving the dial on transportation, and if we want to avoid being overwhelmed by the growth we're going to experience as a country, we will absolutely need these technologies...
The Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) is considered the most comprehensive and widely used freight transportation data source in the United States.
Every 5 years, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) update the FAF based on numbers from BTS' Commodity Flow Survey. And this month, we updated the FAF once again.
The new FAF includes 2012 dollar value and tonnage of freight shipments by mode of transport: truck, rail, water, air and pipeline. Projections through 2045 will be available in the upcoming months...
It is one of this Department's most special assets, and perhaps our most unsung. I'm talking about the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway system --particularly the U.S. locks I had the pleasure and privilege of visiting yesterday.
If bundled together, the eight states and two Canadian provinces that share this system would comprise the world's third largest economy, behind only the U.S. and China. The bi-national Seaway is a vital, environmentally sustainable artery for trade into and out of the United States and Canada, supporting $34.6 billion of economic activity, providing America's Opportunity Belt with access to world markets, and supporting and 227,000 jobs. The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC), which maintains and operates the two U.S. locks, delivers plenty of return value on America's investment in the Seaway.
I went to Massena, NY, yesterday to join SLSDC Administrator Betty Sutton in honoring local emergency responders and the men and women of the SLSDC. When the cruise ship Saint Laurent struck a bumper at the Eisenhower Lock, their quick and effective response ensured that passengers were able to receive the medical care they needed and the vessel itself was able to resume service in less than 48 hours...
Over the weekend this Department released a National Freight Strategic Plan that we hope will wake the country up and get us moving forward.
Our freight network has been one of the great strengths of our country. Millions of Americans wake up in the morning and go to jobs operating trucks, trains, aircraft, ships, and barges. Freight directly supports 44 million jobs.
And our freight workers do more than ensure goods move successfully from one point to another. What they really do is move our economy. Because the cost of moving goods in America is one of the lowest in the world, the jobs these men and women do give us a competitive advantage over other nations.
Our freight infrastructure should be as good as our workers are, as our businesses are. But it's not. It's crumbling. And, we're making matters worse by continuing to underinvest.
It's time for this generation to shoulder the burden, face our transportation challenges, and keep improving our Nation's freight network...

Dear Gang,
What do you all know about the 737-900's performance? Is it turning out to be a cost-effective airplane, or is it "too much airplane for the wing?" I've seen a few CO 739's recently at BWI and CLE, and was wondering.
It seems to me that an airline that wants to keep family commonality, but wants something bigger than the 738, might find the 739 an attractive option instead of adding a whole new family with the 757 (especially if their business plan favors having 10-15 fewer seats). Does the 739 come close to the 757's excellent performance?

After the last week it is likely safe to say the area has received its fair share of moisture which hurt finishing up wheat harvest but is certainly a boon for summer crops (and weeds), pastures, and wildlife. Also today, the Barton County Fair wraps up so everyone involved deserves congratulations for helping to put it on and/or participating, especially the 4-H participants and their parents. A significant topic currently in agriculture is labelling of GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) food products and content labelling in general. This column has previously discussed at length GMOs so we will skip that.
It's Fair time again in Barton County! The youth from all of our communities have been working hard on their various projects, and will be displaying them for the community to see. Whether you enjoy photography, artwork, or livestock, there is something for everyone at the fair.
There is good news for those in agriculture eager to take advantage of new technology in the form of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), also known popularly as drones.
The LDP or Loan Deficiency Payment will kick in when the LDP Rate goes below the Barton County Loan Rate of $3.14. The LDP Rate is based on the average of the Texas Gulf and Kansas City Terminal Markets, not the local market price. You can go to www.fsa.usda.gov website and click on the Daily LDP Rates and PCP Data to obtain the LDP rate for that day.
Tomorrow is Independence Day, a day to celebrate. For most it's a day at the lake, a barbecue, and definitely fireworks. Hopefully, we all take a moment to reflect on what happened two hundred and forty years ago and perhaps contemplate politics in 2016. Finally add the importance our agricultural heritage to the mix.
All across our country Americans are checking their automobiles, making sure their GPS works, studying road maps, printing off directions from MapQuest and adding another item to their "to do" lists in preparation for long-awaited summer vacations.
First generation farmers Geoff and Jenny Burgess of Burgess Hill Farms may have grown up more than 4,000 miles apart, but their passions for agriculture closed the distance. Geoff came to Sterling from England in 2000 on an agricultural exchange program and ended up doing custom harvest for about three years. Four years after meeting at a local restaurant where Jenny waitressed, Jenny and Geoff decided to unite their dreams of farming by getting married and starting their own farm.
The Women on the Farm Committee is hosting another Workshop set for July 12th. The Workshop topic will be "Harnessing the Power of Excel." The presenter will be Rich Llewelyn, Extension Assistant, Department of Agricultural Economics, Kansas State University.
After a slight delay with rain, wheat harvest is progressing rapidly and weather permitting will wrap up in the area soon. Overall, yields have been good to excellent and the overall quality of the crop, test weight and protein, is good. Protein levels could be higher for many but that lower protein is a result of higher than anticipated yields. More nitrogen, and for some sulfur, would have increased protein levels but with the tough conditions of late winter/early spring it's understandable producers were cautious. It's June 26 today and after maybe taking a deep breath and ...
MANHATTAN – A new type of farm has been established in Kansas with a primary focus on water conservation in addition to crops and livestock.
State agriculture focused non-profit, the Kansas Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom (KFAC), hosted their inaugural one-day summer conference at the Salina Bicentennial Center.
Several images surface as we dust off the cobwebs of our minds and reflect back on rural Kansas and those days of years gone by. Red barns, silver-steel windmills, cream separators, harvest crews, Burma Shave signs and certainly the outhouse come to mind.
The Kansas State University quarter-scale tractor A team placed second overall at the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers' annual International Quarter-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition.

Posted by ESPN.com's Brian Bennett
Mike Tranghese was the man who oversaw the creation of Big East football, and he just presided over his final season. The Big East commissioner will leave his office this summer. I caught up with Tranghese for his thoughts on the state of his league and other topics. This is part one of my interview:
What are your thoughts about overseeing your final football season?
Mike Tranghese: Everybody asks me that, but I haven't looked at it that way. I think I look at the season and try to project what needs to be done next. (Incoming commissioner) John Marinatto and I talk about it all the time, and I think people just have to continue to work hard and make sure that when there's a coaching change they get it right, because I think the essence of any success is that you've got to have good coaches. I keep looking at it from that perspective and haven't really dwelled on it and said, 'Hey, this is the last game I'm going to go to as a commissioner.' Because I'm obviously still going to watch games as a fan.
Well, what do you feel is the state of the Big East as you leave office?
MT: It's better than what it was when we reorganized (in 2005). I think we're at a disadvantage at times being only eight, and people say we've got to get bigger. And I say, if we can get better. Getting bigger for the sake of getting bigger is not an option in my mind. There would have to be somebody out there that would make us better. I think a lot of the criticism has quieted down, but people still take their shots. And I understand that. That just comes with the territory. It seems if you're not playing for the national championship, people are critical of you and I don't think that's the only measuring stick. You want to be competitive at the highest level, and that's what you strive for every year.
And people seem to forget you were a few points away from playing for the title last year.
MT: Yeah, and you know West Virginia messed up and it didn't happen. And I think Cincinnati (this season) would have been ranked significantly higher, but they just had a lot of injuries -- although I think beating Oklahoma on the road is almost an impossible task. You know it's interesting; since we reorganized, we have not had any team go through our league undefeated. I tell people that and they look at me like I'm crazy. But Cincinnati had a loss. Last year, West Virginia had two losses. Part of the problem is our league is beating each other up and that hurts you in the polls, but that's just the way it is. You've just got to play.
When you brought Cincinnati into the league, people didn't think much of its football program. Was it neat seeing Cincinnati have that breakthrough this year?
MT: Yeah, and I know how far they've come. I remember when I met with Bob Goin, who was then the athletic director, and Bob really felt that they had a big upside. They just had to have a place to lay their hat and be able to recruit to it. And he obviously made a great coaching hire at the time with Mark (Dantonio) and Mark began to bring in a better level of player. And even with Brian (Kelly), I think recruiting is really upticking now, and I think if anything they're going to get better. And I think we have a number of programs like that and we just need a little more time. You know, they're in Ohio with Ohio State, and that's a hard team to recruit against. But Ohio State can't take all the players. So they've got to take the right players and coach them up and be competitive at the highest level possible.
Is it good for the league overall to have different teams getting to that level?
MT: I don't know. I just think it's good if you have someone ranked in the top four or five. That seems to be the measuring stick. I don't know that it has to be the same team every year. I don't think we have a program right now that dominates our league the way, let's say, Oklahoma and Texas have in the Big 12 or the way Florida has in the SEC or the way USC has in the Pac-10. We just have not created a dominant team yet. Now we may, but it hasn't happened yet. Whether it does or not, I don't know if it's important. What's important is in most years that you have a team that has a chance to win the national championship -- that's what your goal is. But that's hard. You know, you're dealing with Florida, you're dealing with Oklahoma, with USC, Ohio State. It's hard.
And those teams get more benefit of the doubt when they have one loss.
MT: They do. I think the polls as well as the computers are slanted in perception to what I consider the name teams. But that's the way it's always been and the way it's going to be in the foreseeable future. I just don't see it changing. So you've just got to go out and schedule and play and go out and win.
I hear a lot from Mountain West and even WAC fans that they deserve an automatic bid as much as the Big East does. With Utah going 13-0, they seem to have an argument. What's your take on that?
MT: We went through a cycle and there was an opportunity for everybody, and obviously during that four-year cycle we proved ourselves. I think the Mountain West has had an unbelievable year. I mean, if they continue to play at this level, then there is a provision in the BCS bylaws that allows a seventh conference to have an automatic bid. But you don't get there over just one year; it has to be a period of time. I talked to (MWC commissioner) Craig Thompson about it, and they had an unbelievable year with teams like Utah, BYU and TCU. If they continue to have good years and there's not a lot of slippage, then next time around there's room at the table for another league. And obviously, we have to prove ourselves, the ACC -- everybody's got to prove themselves. You can't just react from year to year -- it doesn't work that way.
But people seem to take it as, 'We deserve a bid and you should give yours up.'
MT: That's just not the way it works. What if there's a year when a Pac-10 or a Big Ten team is maybe not as highly ranked? Is the Pac-10 or Big Ten going to give up their seat? It just doesn't work that way. What's the perfect system? I don't know. I hear people talking about a playoff. Well, who's going to get bids in a playoff? I think clearly the system in place now is better than what we had before because it does allow a deserving team like Utah to get in. And it's allowed Boise State to get in, it's allowed Hawaii to get in. Therefore I think the system is better.
I read that the attorney general from Utah wants to challenge the system. I say to people, 'What do you want to do? You want to blow up the system?' Fine, we'll all go back to being independents and being for ourselves. They're not going to be better off with that. The Fiesta Bowl could have taken them this year and chose not to. There's a reason why people are being selective. It's not just wins and losses. It's marketplace, it's television, it's all of tho
se things. That doesn't make it right. That's just the way the system is.

As some of you may know, I am (mostly/temporarily) closing studio fuzzishu. I will continue to teach small classes when there is enough demand and plan to offer ornament making this winter in a pop-up location (keep your eye out for the fall newsletter).

I plan to open Sweet Babu, a small batch handmade ice cream shop, in Waukee in 2017. Feel free to join the mailing list there as well for updates as it progresses.
To that end, I will be holding a studio sale as I downsize and using the profits as a fundraiser for Sweet Babu's start up. There will be a sneak-peek paid preview Friday evening from 6 - 9pm for $10/person - sangria and snackies included. If you want first dibs on anything in the studio, make sure you come early!
I will have all of my silver, glass and chainmaille jewelry at a reduced price as well as workbenches, furniture, displays, kilns, tools, treasures, materials of all sorts, and much much more.
Thank you for being supportive of my small business and I hope you'll come out and have a sweet scoop with me in the future!
* please RSVP to Rachel for Friday night's event so we can have enough snacks and beverages. Thanks! 515.402.8143

Almost always, however, it's better to have more than fewer. For Danny Hultzen on Friday, a career low in strikeouts coincided with his longest and cleanest outing as a pro.
The No. 2 overall pick in last year's Draft fired a career-high seven shutout innings, limiting Tennessee to two hits and pitching the Double-A Jackson Generals to a 2-1 win.
Hultzen struck out two after fanning no fewer than four in any of his previous six starts.
"I think it's one of those things that just happens," he said. "I'm not worried about striking people out; my focus is to attack the hitters and not fall behind guys, issue as many walks. I was just trying to do that tonight."
A week after issuing a career-high seven free passes, the Mariners' top prospect walked four. That's one area with which he's not satisfied.
"That's something I'm always working around. Lately, it's been tough for me to throw strikes and get ahead, wind up walking a lot of guys," he said. "That's still something I need to work on, get better at. But I'm feeling better about it."
Hultzen's pure stuff has proved difficult enough for opposing hitters, as the University of Virginia product saw his ERA fall to 1.91. That ranks third in the Southern League, where he's struck out 36 while walking 23 over 37 2/3 innings.
On Friday, he said he felt he'd been making progress with harnessing his command.
"I thought it was better than it has been in the past, but it's still not quite there," Hultzen said. "I still need to get a lot better at commanding all my pitches, which I've been struggling with. I think I'm getting better at it."
In lieu of striking out more Smokies, Hultzen (3-3) tied a season high by inducing eight ground balls. He credited his defense with helping him turn those grounders into outs and allowing him to work so deep into the game.
"I was just pounding the strike zone. I think I was able to get a lot of ground balls and fly balls early in the count, which was a huge factor," the Maryland native said. "I was trusting my pitches and the defense behind me did a great job making every play behind me, and [Jesus Sucre] threw out a couple from behind the dish.
"It was a productive outing, so I feel better about it. Good team win."
Sucre also figured prominently offensively for the Generals, going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Denny Almonte drove in the other run.
Tennessee threatened in the ninth, but Bobby LaFromboise recorded back-to-back strikeouts with runners at second and third to record his first save of the season.

Poised for a fall 2015 launch, Halo 5: Guardians is the next step in the hugely-popular Xbox-exclusive game series. Sporting dedicated servers, 60 frames-per-second gameplay, and all the bells and whistles the Xbox One has to offer, and you have a something that 343 general manager Bonnie Ross is quoted as having said, "Halo 5: Guardians is a bigger effort than Halo 4," and that must be true.
According to Microsoft, the "journey" begins at E3 2014 this year, where more details on the new game will be announced; interestingly enough however, a live-action TV series by Steven Spielberg of the same name will debut as well. All hail Master Chief.

Impoundment of Funds:
Improper Deferral of Social Security Administration Funds
OGC-87-8: Published: Apr 13, 1987. Publicly Released: Apr 13, 1987.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:

GAO reviewed one new deferral and three revised deferrals in the President's fifth special message for fiscal year 1987.
GAO found that: (1) the deferral of $18 million of Social Security Administration budget authority was unauthorized, since the U.S. Court of Appeals invalidated a section of the Impoundment Control Act because of an unconstitutional veto provision; (2) the acts the President cited did not authorize deferral; and (3) the revised deferrals were authorized under the Antideficiency Act because they were programmatic in nature.

Canoeing and kayaking are both forms of paddling. Whether a person wants a relaxing day on the waters of Columbia or an exhilarating experience in the outdoors, they have something to offer to everyone. A canoe is defined as a boat where the paddler faces forward and sits or kneels in the boat, using a single bladed paddle. They can be closed deck or open deck. A kayak is defined as a boat where the paddler faces forward, using a double bladed paddle. Almost all kayaks have closed decks.
Kayaks and canoes in Columbia are also classified by their design and the materials from which they are made. Each has its own specific advantage, including performance, stability, and maneuverability and paddling styles. Because of their range and adaptability, they are useful modes of transport for outdoor activities such as diving, fishing, wilderness exploration, and search and rescue operations. South Carolina has various Canoe and Kayaking regulations. Owners of unregistered, unpowered boats (canoes, kayaks, rowboats, etc.) should view the South Carolina Boating handbook for local boating laws and safety information.

OMAHA, Neb. -- The top NCAA administrator who oversees the College World Series isn't as anxious about the dearth of home runs at the CWS as others in the baseball community.
NCAA managing director for championships and alliances Damani Leech told The Associated Press before Wednesday night's game that a variety of factors came together to keep the ball from leaving TD Ameritrade Park through the first eight games.
Texas' C.J. Hinojosa hit the first home run of the 2014 CWS in the top of the seventh inning against UC Irvine on Wednesday night to give the Longhorns a 1-0 win.
Leech also said he's hopeful the move from a raised-seam to a flat-seam ball in 2015 will nudge offensive numbers upward. Leech said it will take two years to know whether the ball has the intended effect.
"Until you get 295 teams using that ball throughout the year, you don't really know for sure what's going to happen," Leech said.
Since the CWS moved to TD Ameritrade Park from Rosenblatt Stadium, a total of 23 home runs have been hit -- nine in 2011, 10 in 2012, three in 2013 and one in 2014.
Homers across Division I have declined to rates not seen since the wooden-bat era because of dialed-back bats that entered the game in 2011.
UC Irvine coach Mike Gillespie has called the bat change a "nightmare," and TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said, "It's just a travesty what we've done to college baseball."
Leech said this year's CWS shouldn't be defined by the lack of home runs.
"I think this can turn into a runaway train from a dialogue standpoint and really take away from the great performances of the student-athletes we've had," he said before Wednesday night's game. "Just because there aren't any home runs doesn't mean it's not great baseball."
On paper, this year's CWS didn't figure to be a homer fest. Among the top 200 draft picks here, eight are pitchers and four are hitters. Mississippi, with 42, is among four teams here that have hit at least 29 homers this season. There were six such teams each of the previous three years, including Florida squads that hit 69 in 2011 and 75 in 2012.
Another factor has been weather. South winds prevail in Omaha this time of year, but they've been unusually gusty the past week, blowing up to 30 mph.
"You look at the Big Ten tournament here, and they had eight (homers) in a span of 13 games," Leech said. "So same ballpark, roughly same time of year, a different set of teams, but a completely different set of results in terms of home runs."
Before Hinojosa's homer, 115 innings had passed since Mississippi State's Hunter Renfroe hit the last CWS home run, on June 21, 2013.
Leech said if the flat-seam ball doesn't have the desired effect, it's possible the ball could be changed to have a harder core or bats could be tweaked again to make them more lively.
"The ball coming off the bat at increased speed," Leech said, "there are safety concerns everybody needs to be aware of if we move down that path."
Moving in the fences at TD Ameritrade, he said, would be a massive undertaking because it would affect angles of outfield seats and could require changes to the concourse.
Minnesota coach John Anderson, a former member of the NCAA baseball committee who worked on the design of TD Ameritrade Park, said the stadium probably would have been built differently if the effect of the new bat standards had been known during the planning stages.
Leech, who also worked on the stadium design, didn't respond to Anderson's comment directly.
"What I will say is there was nothing at that time that gave us any indication that the winds, which we think is the predominant factor, were going to play as significant a role in the nature of the game at this ballpark versus Rosenblatt," he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
