Some of you might be aware already that Simiah released a free digital download back in September of 2011. This was initially a warm up to his debut LP Lost in Time. Quite a few people were keen to see Purple Dreams pressed on wax (so were we) so we are putting it out very soon on a 12" vinyl EP. The test presses are already here and sound great. Pre-sales will begin soon.
Simiah's 'Purple Dreams'. 6 instrumental track 12"/EP, re-mastered for vinyl by Mr Brown. Includes a vinyl exclusive bonus song called "In This". 100/300 copies available on purple vinyl.
Featuring the Ernest Herb and the Fat Controller on the keys.
Original cover artwork by Skev with the layout by Bee.

"Purple Dreams" was created in late September 2011, originally as a free download and warm up to Simiah's debut LP, "Lost in Time".
Around this time Simiah was hanging out with the multi-talented musician named Ernest Herb. The two were regularly jamming, performing live shows and recording one-take tracks together in an old air craft hanger at the back of a pub in Milton Keynes. This is where the song "Everywhere" was created. Ernest Herb then called in his friend The Fat Controller to jam with the two of them and add some ill guitar to some of the songs. After recording track after track together, Simiah then narrowed the track list down to his favourite cuts. For the vinyl version of the project he added in a bonus beat, which was a beat made in the summer of 2013. We then called in Mr Brown to re-master the project for vinyl.
The original artwork design was done by Skev, one of Simiah's best friends. Then Bee aka Mr Brown (the man behind most of the KU artwork) arranged the text and finessed the layout.

Course Overview
This course acquaints students with how public policy develops and is adopted in the American governmental system. It is normally taken during the first year. The course helps students understand the different settings in which policy develops and the factors that influence its development. Each section of the course uses different substantive policy concerns such as international affairs, social policy, community engagement, and resource and environmental regulation to explore how individuals and institutions initiate and/or give legitimacy to public policy, including the executive and legislative branches, the courts, interest groups, and individual citizens. The course also covers the dynamics of the policy process by focusing on the roles of and relationships among various levels of government and the concepts and models used to describe these aspects of policy development. The roles of ideas, concepts, and formal methods of analysis in policy development are discussed. Reading assignments and class discussion focus on case studies, legislative hearings, policy-issue briefs, court decisions, and theoretical works which highlight and explain the development of particular public policies.
Section Description
This course examines the gender dimensions of health, illness, and the medical care industry in the United States and other developed nations. It is motivated by the fact that health, disease, and medical care have important gender-specific dimensions that are affected by economics, politics, and culture. Because of gender-based disadvantages in the labor force women, and especially minority women, are more likely than men to have low incomes and little wealth, particularly if they are unmarried with children. Poor women and families have often had to do without the medical care they need even as their children quality for Medicaid. The passage of health reform legislation has potentially important implications for poor women's access to medical care since by 2014 all poor Americans will qualify for Medicaid or subsidized public insurance. During the course we will follow and discuss issues related to the implementation of health care reform and determine how our health care delivery system will be affected in the years to come. In the past the medical care system often ignored gender, as well as race-based differences in health care needs. Early studies of heart disease risks were, for example, based on samples of white men. Today, the National Institutes of Health and other funding agencies are aware of these shortcomings and are addressing these issues head on. During the course we will examine these initiatives in detail.
These gaps in knowledge concerning risks and appropriate treatments have very specific consequences that we will investigate. The collection of readings will allow us to examine the social institutions that shape men's and women's health and health care. Specific topics will include reproductive health, single motherhood and the stress of raising children alone, welfare and health care, divorce and changes in health, certain illnesses that women experience including breast and ovarian cancer, drug and alcohol abuse, and the forces that influence research into women's health problems. In addition, we examine the role of women as major actors in changing the health care system, reducing health risks for themselves and their families, and their roles as health care providers, public administrators, and leaders in the health care establishment. We will also touch upon the role of local, state and federal agencies in health policy formulation and implementation, the politics of the medicalization of women's issues including childbirth, refugee and immigrant women's health, and more.
The second objective of the course is for students to develop an understanding of the major sources of health data (e.g., demographic statistics, administrative records, health surveys, etc.). Our objective is to develop a critical understanding of the appropriate use of health-related data and to determine how they can best be used to evaluate a broad array of public policies related to women's health care.
Finally, the course will examine the role of different levels and branches of government, including the presidency, Congress, the courts, and the bureaucracy, in the formation of public policy. Alternative political ideologies regarding state and private responsibility for women's health will be compared and contrasted. Similarly we will assess the relative power of key non-governmental actors, such as interest groups, health care NPOs, researchers, and the media in the definition and framing of our health agenda.
Evaluations: Class sessions will consist of lectures and collective discussions. Written requirements include a policy issue brief (50%), article or government report review (20%), point-counterpoint exchange, legislative briefing (20%). Attendance and participation are integral parts of the course and will count towards the final grade (10%).

Rains in northern New England push rivers highStefan Hard / Staff Photo
Low-level windows are protected against possible flooding by plywood and sandbags Tuesday on the Agency of Agriculture building across from the State House in Montpelier.
MONTPELIER — Heavy rains and melting snow and ice pushed rivers toward or above flood stage around Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine on Tuesday and flooded some roads in the region.
A flood warning was issued for northern and central Vermont, meaning flooding was taking place or imminent. And flood watches or warnings were issued in New Hampshire and Maine.
In Montpelier, officials urged downtown residents and business owners to prepare for overnight flooding. Residents were warned to expect some flooding in basements by early today. The city's emergency operations center planned to monitor overnight conditions.
Cold weather could make some city surfaces slick, but "we're not expecting it to be super dangerous," City Manager William Fraser said.
Officials closed a low-lying parking lot off State Street, near the confluence of the Winooski River and its North Branch. The river was expected to hit flood stage Tuesday evening, then crest at 16 feet early today before starting to recede, Fraser said.
The National Weather Service issued flood warnings Tuesday for the Otter Creek at Center Rutland, the Lamoille River at Johnson and Jeffersonville, the Barton River in Coventry, the Connecticut River near Wells River and West Lebanon, N.H., and the Connecticut River near Lunenburg and Dalton, N.H.
The weather service expanded the flood warning areas throughout the day as heavy rains moved in and warned motorists not to drive on flooded roads or bridges.
The weather service at its Caribou office in Maine said it was keeping an eye on reports of ice jams in the St. John River that runs along the Canadian border. The forecast for northern and eastern Maine called for 1 to 1.5 inches of rain Tuesday through today, increasing the risk of flooding that ice jams can cause.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

10 reasons to vote yes
On Nov. 5, Barre City residents will vote on whether or not to approve a $2,200,000 bond to develop parking behind North Main Street and Enterprise Alley. The Barre Area Development Corporation, a nonprofit economic development corporation serving the Barre area since 1961, strongly urges the voters to approve the bond.
The reasons why are:
1. The parking and related improvements are long-term public assets necessary to encourage new private development and investment. 2. Bond payments will not raise property taxes.
3. Bond approval will encourage the Central Vermont Community Land Trust to proceed with its current plan to develop tax paying property between North Main and Summer streets.
4. Vermonts Economic Progress Council (VEPC) approved the citys Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Plan, only of one of seven approved in Vermont, based on a determination that without additional public investment, new private development is unlikely to occur. The state of Vermont is the citys partner, an endorsement that the Barre Area Development Corporation welcomes, as we hope the city and its residents do.
5. For a period of 20 years following borrowing, instead of sending all of the commercial Education Tax Revenue back to the state, the city can use up to 75 percent of the new tax revenue resulting from the citys TIF district (the same boundaries of the Designated Downtown) to establish a reserve fund to repay the bond. As required by law, the city will also contribute an equal percentage of incremental municipal property tax revenue to the reserve fund.
6. The city has already identified enough of the new revenue to cover the projected bond payments based on development and increased property values that have occurred since April 2012. During the life of the Tax Increment Financing District in downtown Barre, projected new development is likely to result in a well-funded TIF reserve that can support additional public projects elsewhere in the district, specifically additional parking and sidewalks along Merchants Row. With approval from VEPC, the city can amend its plan as may be necessary to subtract or add improvements.
7. The State Education Fund and the citys General Fund will still receive 25 percent of the incremental revenue during the 20-year period. This will help the city with any of the costs associated with maintaining new public assets, and the new development will also continue to contribute to the State Education Fund.
8. No additional debt will be incurred unless the voters approve of it.
9. State legislation includes the adoption of regulatory controls and reporting that enhances transparency and accountability.
10. When the TIF District sunsets and bond repayments have ended, the grand list of the TIF district will be returning full value to the State Education Fund, and will further stabilize property taxes for the citys residents.
The choice for voters is clear. Bond approval retains millions of dollars of new revenue that would otherwise be returned to the state and buys more public parking that encourages growth and job creation.
Failure to approve the bond delays and potentially kills new private investment.
BADC believes voter approval of the bond is the right thing to do.

Human creeds were abolished and man-made churches were renounced. Denominationalism was discarded and the church of Jesus Christ was exalted! The church was called, among other things, the church of Christ, see Romans 16:16 and Acts 20:28.
Still in existence today, this restoration plea is being heard around the world. It is a powerful biblical concept. Christ's prayer for unity can only be answered by all believers in Christ practicing New Testament Christianity, John 17:20-21.
Jesus taught the worthlessness of human creeds, Matthew 15:9. Christ exalted God's Way and condemned man's innovations, Matthew 7:21; 15:13-14.
Unfortunately, some men are almost too proud to lay aside their own desire for the will of Christ. May I encourage everyone who reads this to be part of the movement to go back to the Bible and to Christ alone, see II Tim 3:16-17 and I Cor. 4:6.
Whoever reads this, we love you and Jesus loves you. If you have questions or comments, contact Ivy at email@example.com or his website www.biblestudybooksbyivy.com or (361) 343‑2778.

I have been hard on Kaplan's geography work in the past because of his support of geographical determinism (geography predestines groups) instead of cultural determinism (culture defines a groups limits). However, Kaplan now introduces his article with
Precisely because geography is so overpowering and unchanging a factor in a state's destiny, there is a danger of taking it too far. So rather than believing that geography inevitably dooms states to failure, think of it as yet another complexifying factor for the weakest of countries. Their difficult geographies should spur us to action, rather than lead us to despair.
The article does a reasonable job explaining its thesis. However, the Africa bit ignores Ethiopia's involvement with the ancient and medieval worlds. The trade city of Timbuktu managed to bridge north and south Africa which did not need any major water system. Also, some cultures have managed to adopt to mountainous terrain while having governance without dictatorship. New Zealand and Switzerland are two prime examples mountainous freelands.

- Abstract
- We present the results of a search for molecular gas emission from a star-forming galaxy at z = 4.9. The galaxy benefits from magnification of 22 ± 5 × due to strong gravitational lensing by the foreground cluster MS1358+62. We target the CO(5-4) emission at a known position and redshift from existing Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys imaging and Gemini/NIFS [O II]3727 imaging spectroscopy, and obtain a tentative detection at the 4.3σ level with a flux of 0.104 ± 0.024 Jy km s–1. From the CO line luminosity and assuming a CO-to-H2 conversion factor α = 2, we derive a gas mass M gas ~ 1+1 – 0.6 × 109 M ☉. Combined with the existing data, we derive a gas fraction M gas/(M gas + M *) = 0.59+0.11 – 0.06. The faint line flux of this galaxy highlights the difficulty of observing molecular gas in representative galaxies at this epoch, and suggests that routine detections of similar galaxies in the absence of gravitational lensing will remain challenging even with ALMA in full science operations.

In the spirit of the times, I'd like to further explore the art of analogy by combining three apparently disparate notions into one explosive idea. As we all know by now, tonight brings us the first and only Vice Presidential debate of the season. And although both candidates were brought onto their respective teams for very specific reasons, they also both have an unerring knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
In many ways, the VP candidates mirror my own experiences as well as those of my friend and co-writer, Mr. Lung. You see, when it comes down to it, I'm Joe Biden and my friend is the very living, breathing embodiment of Sarah Palin.
Now, I know what you're going to say. And yes, it's true. Jeff is the cute one. But there's more to life than that. There's also style, substance and, of course, the swimsuit contest:
The situation becomes even more eery when you look at the similarities between the prospective VPs and the teams that Jeff and I support. Gov. Palin comes from a middle of nowhere town that no one really cares about and the same can be said of the Cardinals. Sen. Biden hails from a once great rust belt city (Scranton, PA) that, like Detroit (the team and the city), has fallen on hard times. The Cardinals deck themselves out in red, the color of the GOP, while the Tigers are happiest in blue, a Democratic color that really brings out Biden's eyes.
The most important question we have to face, though, is whether this matchup will end up like the 2006 World Series where the Tigers' gaffes cost them the Series (very possible when it comes to Biden) or is this like the 2007 and 2008 regular season when the Tigers manhandled the Cards (think Palin with Katie Couric)? There's only one way to find out and that's by tuning in at 9EDT tonight. Go Biden (Tigers, me)!

lol. That is one retro swimsuit and haircut for that matter. Great Clip.
Just watched the debate and you win, Allen! Not only did you give us specifics plans for your administration, but you resisted making any gaffes. Jeff, on the other hand, kept using the word "also," which drove me nuts.
Yeah, but at least my hair looked better. Ain't I cute!?!
I felt pretty good about my performance, even if my hair was a little funky. Jeff just doesn't understand how these Washington people work, doggone it.
You guys are a riot — hey Allen, getting off politics, I know, but I'm a huge Gates Brown fan and I saw this on MLB.com earlier: "Thursday also marked the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest postseason feats ever. Bob Gibson struck out a playoff-record 17 Tigers in Game 1 of the 1968 World Series." Gates got his only World Series at bat as a pinch hitter against Gibson that game — didn't strike out, didn't get a hit, didn't get another at bat, but . . . he got a ring.
Jeff, thanks for the comments on my blog — just read your "periods" entry on Sabathia, total agreement!

Why we need gunsMay 10,2013
Why we need guns
I feel it necessary to voice logical contradiction to the letter in Thursdays Times Argus regarding a push for gun control.
First of all, where are any of our constitutional rights limited outside the language of the Constitution itself?
Second, the Second Amendment is specifically written to provide us protection from the government. Period. It has nothing to do with sporting use. Nothing. If the government decides to turn its arms inward, all of those serving the government will have a decision to make that I do not envy. The effective weapon described as the ballot box is useless as we are now faced with a society that takes its direction from a corrupt media feeding the small-minded parrots pellets of distorted information to serve their own goals.
Third, if guns are illegal, only criminals will have guns does not need further illustration of its pure logic. Please. Enforce the laws we have first, and then re-examine.
Guns dont kill people without a human intervention, and if there were no guns there would still be murderers. Please take a look at the statistics of some of the most gun-restrictive cities in the country and compare them to similar cities (population/demographic-wise) and try to make the argument.
Placing qualifiers in the hands of a broken bureaucracy is a short path to total disarmament, which is exactly what an oppressive government would want. Again, this has nothing to do with sporting use; this has to do with protecting ourselves from whatever threat we may face. I would ask the authors: How many times have you had to defend yourself or your family to conclude you dont need a 30-round magazine, though I agree the design of the grip is meaningless.
Nothing in the recently proposed gun legislation would have done anything to stop the Sandy Hook tragedy. Nothing. Sadly, the only thing that would have stopped it would have been a bullet. I know uncomfortable facts are difficult for progressives, as they dont have a close relationship with facts, but it is what it is. Owning a firearm for self-defense and the defense of ones family is a huge responsibility, not to be taken lightly. I have no quarrels with those unwilling to, or too cowardly to, take responsibility for their well-being. What I will not stand for is their intent to deprive me of my right and responsibility to protect myself and my family.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
When you are under stress try this short exercise to put things in perspective. It might make your problem seem less stressful.
Mentally rewind your life ten years and remember what you were like at that time. Try to imagine how your current problem would have seemed back then. Would it have been as important? Now fast-forward ten years into the future and imagine how your life might be like. How important is your current problem to your future self? Chances are your current problem may seem insignificant to your future self and this might change your perspective on how you view your problem today.
When we worry about something, we cannot get the thought out of our minds and this may interfere with our creativity or ability to get a good nights sleep. Exporting your worries to a notebook is a helpful technique for postponing the worry to another time.
When you come to the time when you must deal with the worry, get out a clean piece of paper and write the worry at the top of the page. Below this write down your goal or what you want to happen. To continue the example above you may write down, "I want my boss to approve my proposal." Now, draw a line down the middle of the page. In the left column write down all the barriers and obstacles that stand in the way of you achieving your goal. In the right column, write down all of your skills and resources that can help you achieve your goal.
On the back of the paper, write down all the ways that you can use the items in the right column to overcome the obstacles in the left column. At the end of the exercise you will have lessened your worries and will have a plan for how best to proceed towards achieving your goal.
Most people worry about future events that may or may not happen. This expectation of something bad happening causes people stress even though the thing may never occur. One helpful technique for reducing worry is to export your worries to a notebook or diary.
Suppose you can't get to sleep because you are worrying about a meeting with your boss later in the week. Pick up your notebook and write down that worry. Now, set a time in the future and promise yourself that at that time you will review what you are worrying about and make a decision. This should help resolve the present worry and put it off to the designated time. An added benefit of this is that during the interim, your subconscious mind will have time to process the problem and come up with potential solutions. This is very similar to how the 'Letter to Yourself' technique works.
If you ask someone why they feel stressed, they may not be able to point to a specific reason. This is because stress often comes from a source that the sufferer may not fully understand. If you have an easily identified source of stress, you are lucky (try to get rid of it). Most people cannot figure out why they feel stressed.
Stress comes in three flavors: physical, emotional, and behavioral. A physical stress might be an injury, an annoying sound or an uncomfortable chair. Emotional stress includes things like fighting with a friend, or the death of a loved one. Behavioral stress might come from alcohol, caffeine, or poor sleep.
Looking at these areas and taking a step back to look at the bigger picture may help someone understand where their stress is coming from. For example, someone who feels tense all the time may not realize that it's because of poor sleep due to noisy neighbors (behavioral and physical stress). A good pair of earplugs may make all the difference in the world! Try examining the various parts of your life to see if you can find something that might be causing stress. Experiment to see if eliminating the stressor makes you feel better.
If you can remember back to your last stressful situation, you may remember that your hands and feet felt cold. This is because your body reduces blood flow to its extremities when it is under stress.
To reverse these symptoms and help yourself feel better, try rubbing your hands together vigorously until you have worked up some good heat. Now, do some simple finger and wrist stretches. Twist your wrists around or interlock your fingers and push your palms away from you to get a good stretch. If you frequently get cold hands, you may want to get some thin gloves to wear. If you cant wear gloves because you need to type, you can easily make some typing gloves by cutting off the fingers. This will keep your hands warm and allow you to type.
Of course, cold hands and feet don't necessarily mean that you are under stress. You may have a circulatory problem such as Raynaud's disease, or you may simply be cold. If in doubt, ask your doctor.

By Barbara Floria, Pure Matters
Arthritis is a general term for more than 100 rheumatic diseases. More than 46 million Americans reported having diagnosed arthritis or chronic joint symptoms in a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Arthritis can affect the joints, muscles, connective tissues, skin and organs. The most obvious warning signs are pain, swelling, stiffness or problems moving one or more joints.
Although there's no cure for arthritis, the symptoms can be treated effectively in many cases. Here are some proven treatments:
The right kind of exercise
Daily exercise is an important part of arthritis treatment. It helps build and preserve muscle strength, protects joints from further stress, and keeps them flexible. An effective exercise program consists of these three types of exercises:
- Range-of-motion exercises to keep muscles and joints flexible.
- Aerobic exercises to promote cardiovascular conditioning, overall fitness, and help manage weight. The exercises should be low impact, such as walking, swimming, bicycling, or cross-country skiing. Cross-training programs involving low-impact activities are recommended.
- Strengthening exercises to build supporting muscles so they can absorb stress on joints and keep them stable.
Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about the activities within each category that are right for you.
Losing weight
Excess weight can put stress on weight-bearing joints and increase wear and tear on the cartilage that cushions joints. Research has found a connection between obesity and osteoarthritis of the knee and hips. And because overweight people often are less active, they're susceptible to joint stiffening.
If you're 10 pounds or more overweight, try to slim down by exercising, reducing your fat consumption, and eating a healthy, balanced diet.
The goals of treatments are to control pain, improve function, and slow the progress of the disease. Many drugs are used to treat arthritis. These are the most common:
- Analgesics. These drugs reduce pain but not inflammation. Acetaminophen is an analgesic available without a prescription and is often combined with other analgesics. Prescription analgesics include opiates such as codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and propoxyphene hydrochloride. Tramadol is a drug that is similar to opiates but has less potential for abuse and addiction.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs relieve pain and inflammation by slowing down the body's production of prostaglandins. The most commonly used over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs are aspirin and ibuprofen. Other NSAIDs are naproxen, naproxen sodium, and meloxicam. Specific treatment will be determined by your doctor based on your overall health and medical history. Other stronger NSAIDS may be available by prescription.
- Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. These drugs are used for rheumatoid arthritis and are given only under a health care provider's close supervision. Examples include leflunomide (Arava®), hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil®), methotrexate and chlorambucil (Leukeran®) and sulfasalazine (Azulfidine®).
- Biologic response modifier drugs (BRMs). BRMs are made from living sources, such as cell cultures, and they block the reaction of tumor necrosis factor, an immune system protein. BRMs are monoclonal antibodies that specifically target tumor necrosis factor, which is associated with rheumatoid arthritis and some other autoimmune diseases. These drugs are injected or given intravenously. Examples of these drugs are etanercept (Enbrel®), infliximab (Remicade®), adalimumab (Humira®) and anakinra (Kineret®). These drugs have been associated with an increased risk of lymphoma. Because of this, the benefits must be carefully weighed against the risks.
- Two medications specifically for OA of the knee are sodium hyaluronate (Hyalgan® and Supartz®) and hylan G-F20 (Synvisc®). These drugs, which are injected into the joint, are fluids similar to a substance that normally lubricates and nourishes a joint. They relieve pain in the joint for six months to a year.
- Corticosteroids. These potent anti-inflammatory medications provide relief initially but may produce troublesome side effects such as calcium loss from bone, weight gain, cataracts and abnormalities in glucose regulation with long-term use. These are given only under a doctor's close supervision.
Stress reduction
Research has shown that people with arthritis benefit from educational programs that teach them how to stay active and practice pain and stress management. They get up to 80 percent more relief from pain and joint tenderness than they can get from using medication alone.
Heat and cold
Applying heat or cold can temporarily reduce arthritis pain. This treatment is especially helpful before and after exercise. Most people with arthritis respond more positively to cold packs than to heat when active inflammation produces severe pain and joint swelling.
Physical and occupational therapy
Physical therapists teach prescribed muscle-strengthening and range-of-motion exercises. They also teach ways to control pain without medication. Occupational therapists teach how to use self-help devices and reduce strain on joints.
People with severe arthritis may need joint replacement or joint resurfacing procedures performed by an orthopedic surgeon.

Selected performance:
Thursday 24th January
Please note show times are slightly different than usual.Doors Open 6pm, Zara McFarlane 7.30pm, Matthew Halsall: 9pm, Late Late Set: 11pm-late. Doors Close 3am
Matthew Halsall - Trumpet, Rachael Gladwin - Harp, Taz Modi - Piano, Gavin Barras - Double Bass, Rob Turner - Drums, Keiko Kitamura - Koto, Clive Bell - Shakuhachi (Japanese Flute)
"'Kind Of Blue' meets The Cinematic Orchestra …With hypnotic grooves, and a meditative slow-build to his solos, Halsall's music is saturated in a life-affirming glow". Time Out
"Rain-streaked spiritual jazz from Manchester." The Independent on Sunday
"Grooving through time on the spiritual sunship." Mojo Magazine
"If you like dreamy groovers with drifting melodies, you'll love this." BBC Music Magazine
Manchester based trumpeter, composer, arranger and band-leader Matthew Halsall is one of the rising stars of the UK jazz scene. His unique sound was brilliantly described as "Rain-streaked spiritual jazz from Manchester" by the Independent On Sunday and previous albums have found Halsall exploring the modal jazz of John and Alice Coltrane or paying heartfelt tribute to the hard bop of the late '50s and early '60s, but on his most recent album Fletcher Moss Park he offers his most personal statement yet.
Written and recorded over the last couple of years, Fletcher Moss Park is inspired by one of Manchester's most beautiful places. A rambling, multi-tiered park of walkways and dreamy gardens that offers the contemplative Halsall a place of peace and respite from the city, a meditative space to think and write in. The stillness and beauty of the surroundings have steeped into his beautiful compositions for this album. Elegant and sincere, Halsall's compositions draw on his love of spiritual jazz, modern dance music and even his work with the award-winning Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band earlier this year. Halsall favours earthy honestly and direct communication over tricksy arrangements and it is this deceptively simple openness that gives his music such a unique flavour as the young composer and producer seeks to express his feelings and thoughts with his music.
His superlative band features some of Manchester's finest musicians including rising star pianist Taz Modi (Sub-Motion Orchestra), bassist Gavin Barras and drummer Luke Flowers (Cinematic Orchestra). The addition of Rachael Gladwin's harp brings a sense of liquidity to the modal explorations, and Halsall's own beautiful playing lingers long after the music ends.
Zara McFarlane
MOBO nominated Zara McFarlane, a rising star on the UK jazz/soul scene, released her debut album on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings in October 2011. Positioned neatly between the twin worlds of modern jazz and eclectic nu-soul, Until Tomorrow confirmed the presence of a very special young voice on the UK scene. Exuding a liberal dose of subtle, stealthy swing, the album was rooted in the jazz tradition. However, Zara has brought an eminently soul undercurrent to what she does, and her music will appeal to audiences weaned on Jill Scott and Erykah Badu as easily as to those more attuned to Cassandra Wilson or Dianne Reeves.
In recent times Zara has supported Hugh Masekela; toured Europe; duetted with Gregory Porter; dropped a spectacular cover version of Junior Murvin's classic reggae jam 'Police & Thieves'; and performed live on French radio station – Radio Nova – as part of a special broadcast of London acts. Zara played in London to a spellbound sell out crowd on the 9th of October, where she dropped some of her new material as well as songs from the first album.
Album quotes:
"Until Tomorrow is a delight ...filled with musical treasures, waiting to be discovered" - All About Jazz
"Zara McFarlane's long-awaited debut album provides the perfect showcase for her wonderfully pure timbre, understated melodic approach and unerring sense of time." - Jazzwise

26 April 2010
Having, basically, dared myself with the phrase "any conversation about the best zombie movies ever" yesterday, I am pleased to present what is, in retrospect, probably a completely inevitable and obvious subject for a list:
The Ten Best Zombie Movies of All Time
(NB: if I'm being honest, Day of the Dead belongs on this list, but three Romero films out of ten overall seemed, to me, inelegant).
10. I Walked with a Zombie (Jacques Tourneur, 1943)
Prior to Romero's genre-redefining efforts, zombie films were pretty exclusively stories of white people in the Caribbean, stumbling across a local voodoo priest trying to take over the island with his army of the undead, who didn't really do much besides stand there and look sullen. The formula has been almost completely abandoned in the last 40 years (if you're a horror filmmaker, and you can make a movie about a dull-eyed animate corpse, or a blood-soaked monster ripping a man's stomach out through his throat, which do you choose?), and a lot of them are frankly a bit dull. But at their best - and in the hands of one of horror cinema's all-time great visual poets, I Walked with a Zombie is easily the best - these voodoo zombie movies can attain an otherworldly power all their own. It's almost certainly Tourneur's second-best horror effort after Cat People: a lyrical, uncanny story drenched in dream logic, in which the horror is muted and implied, and arguably all the more creepy because of it. It's undoubtedly the most beautiful film on this list.
9. Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti AKA Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (Jorge Grau, 1974)
Beating the main body of Italian zombie movies to the punch by five years (it was a Spanish co-production), this remains one of the most oddly unique movies in the genre's history. Superficially, it has a bit in common with the ur-text, Night of the Living Dead, but once you spend time with this story of two drifters who are accused by a conservative cop of murder in Manchester, only to find that an experimental pest control system is reviving the nervous systems of dead humans, you'll start to realise that there's a lot going on here which isn't found in the run-of-the-mill gutmunchers made in the wake of Zombi 2. An atmospheric murder mystery that only gradually turns into a zombie siege, it's filled with some of the most haunting images in any zombie film you can hope to see. Bonus points for the title, which in any language (the Italian translates to "Do Not Speak Ill of the Dead") is one of the best in horror history.
8. Braindead AKA Dead Alive (Peter Jackson, 1992)
On the one hand, it's nothing but an exercise in silliness - awfully good silliness, at that. On the other, it's one of the bloodiest movies ever made. Those facts aren't remotely as difficult to resolve as you might think, for in this, his greatest motion picture, Jackson revels in a truth that every horror fan already knows: gore can be a lot of fun There's not another zombie movie out there that is so delightfully, innocently playful as this one; without a trace of mockery or ironic coolness to inflect its comedy, Braindead is horror cinema as a bauble, an extraordinary example of a filmmaker turning out exactly the kind of movie he wants to watch, and isn't it totally cool? For all the gallons of stage blood pumped out, there's not one frame of the film that feels even a little bit dangerous, or mean, or edgy. Made by an enthusiast with the talent to make everyone who watches the film just as enthusiastic as he is, this is about as enjoyable, in the purest sense, as any horror movie out there.
7. Dawn of the Dead (Zack Snyder, 2004)
A film that deserves a much better title; the kind that doesn't essentially demand we compare it to one of the stone-cold masterpieces of the genre. Synder's film (his debut, and his only great work before descending into degraded hatchet jobs against comic books that deserve more) is pretty much a different animal than George A. Romero's any way you want to look at it: jettisoning the original film's satire for intense and unflagging action - Snyder makes excellent use of the "fast zombies" that Danny Boyle's not-quite-a-zombie-film 28 Days Later popularised - it's an action movie as much as a horror movie, meant to make us shout "awesome!" rather than scream in mortal terror. But the hell of it is, it actually is awesome: kinetic and tense and altogether one of the great movie thrill rides of the '00s. By far the best movie in the dodgy "let's remake '70s horror!" movement.
6. The Return of the Living Dead (Dan O'Bannon, 1985)
The crypto-sequel to the most important zombie film of all time not only managed to fully honor the memory of its illustrious predecessor, it got the contemporary horror-comedy trend off the ground with one of the very best examples of that often frustrating subgenre. Its historic importance doesn't end there: it's where we first encounter the idea of zombies hunting people to munch on their brains, and it also introduced the world to the great '80s exploitation queen Linnea Quigley and her... talents. All while also being full of great, creepy imagery, a kick-ass death-punk soundtrack, and some of the smartest grace notes in any horror film of its decade. Ever had a problem with horror characters doing stupid things and dying? Check out RotLD, in which people actually ask the questions and take the steps that a real live person might do in the same situation. And then die.
5. Shaun of the Dead (Edgar Wright, 2004)
"You've got red on you". The genius of Wright's breakthrough collaboration with co-writer and star Simon Pegg is that (much like their subsequent Hot Fuzz) it's not really a parody of the material it's making fun of: even at its goofiest, the film treats the idea of cannibalistic zombies with dead seriousness. When a character gets ripped apart near the end in a manner mimicking on of the most famous deaths in Day of the Dead, you can feel it every bit as much as in Romero's mirthless apocalypse fantasy. It's just that, instead of satiric commentary on consumerism or the military, Wright and Penn want to have fun with slapstick and farce. The poster accurately called it "a romantic comedy with zombies", but "a zombie film with romance and comedy" would have been just as accurate, if much clumsier.
4. Zombi 2 AKA Zombie AKA Zombie Flesh Eaters (Lucio Fulci, 1979)
You could call it yet another in the long tradition of Italian knock-offs; and you'd be completely right (it was a distaff sequel to a heavily re-edited version of Romero's Dawn of the Dead). And in blaming it for igniting the awe-inspiring run of terrible, terrible Italian zombie movies in the early 1980s, you could fairly say that its rancid legacy more than counters anything it does right. But please don't: its one of the best films ever made by a director often wrongly judged by his lesser work, and one of the all-time great feasts of gore effects makeup (it has what remains, I think, the most nauseatingly effective "stake through the eye" effects of all time). Being an Italian horror film, the power of the individual moments is generally greater than the effect of the whole movie, but those moments include some of the most iconic sequences in zombiedom. If nothing else, the film earns its place on this list for pitting a zombie against a motherfucking shark.
3. La noche del terror ciego AKA Tombs of the Blind Dead (Amando de Ossorio, 1971)
Steeped in history and invented mythology, the first movie to come out in the wake of George A. Romero's epochal reinvention of the zombie film (see below) is argably the greatest Spanish horror film ever made. Like most European horror films from the 1970s - or ever, come to think of it - Tombs is more concerned about atmosphere than a coherent, cohesive plot: but what atmosphere! Not much in the long annals of cinematic horror can compete in terms of sheer uncanny creepiness with the sight of a foggy ancient graveyard in the middle of a ruined medieval town; nor are there too many films that can claim a scene as breathtakingly tense as the moment when a woman, who has been careful to keep from making all of the stupid mistakes that usually kill people in zombie movies, discovers that the one thing she can't hide from the blind, ravenous and very smart undead Templars hunting her is the sound of her frantically beating heart. Easily the scariest film on this list.
2. Night of the Living Dead (George A. Romero, 1968)
One of the great seismic moments in cinema history came when an young indie filmmaker from Pennsylvania freely conflated zombies (shuffling reanimated corpses with no personality) and vampires (vicious reanimated corpses with a penchant for devouring living humans), with a splash of horrifying violence that would have been completely inconceivable a mere ten years earlier. The basic scenario of NotLD has been copied in a virtually uncountable number of movies, but it's never been surpassed; and you can count on your fingers the number of subsequent horror films that have matched the raw terror of Romero's doomsday scenario, or the nihilistic impact of its closing sucker punch. It's the kind of all-around masterpiece that could only be surpassed by...
1. Dawn of the Dead (George A. Romero, 1978)
...Romero himself, re-purposing his plague-like revenants as the vehicles for social commentary, without sacrificing for one second the threat they represent. Though even more than in Night, this outstanding sequel makes excellent use of what has become (thanks to Romero's films) a zombie movie commonplace: the lumbering corpses are always less of a danger than the conflicting egos of the still-living humans under siege. From the time capsule '70s aesthetic to the magnificent gore effects that put the great Tom Savini on the map to the cruel dark humor veined through the whole movie, the original Dawn remains one of the most intelligent, artistic horror films ever made, not only one of the best films of its genre but also its decade.

I know it's asinine to respond to a personal list with, "But what about my favorites?" but I do feel compelled to ask: are you a Cemetery Man fan? I adore it, myself.
- Tim said...
Cemetery Man was one of two films that I thought might probably have made the list, if I'd only seen it (the other was The Beyond).
I might as well address all of the other obvious omissions right off the bat: I don't consider 28 Days Later or the Evil Dead series to be "zombie" films, properly speaking, and it's been too many years since I last saw Re-Animator.
- NicksFlickPicks said...
What about Revolutionary Road? ;)
- Kevin J. Olson said...
I love this list. Although I don't think I would have the original Night of the Living Dead up so high...but hey, this is your list so who cares what I think. Great stuff. I too don't consider Boyle's film a zombie flick, and for that matter I would add Fulci's The Beyond to the "not-quite-a-zombie-movie" list...even though it's one of my favorite Italian horror films.
It's interesting that after Fulci released Zombi 2 everyone wanted to tag the title of "zombie" onto his films...when really his greatest contribution to the subgenre (post Zombi 2 that is...his early gialli are really good) is supernatural "Seven Doors" trilogy: City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and The House By the Cemetery.
Oh...sorry...I saw Italian horror films being discussed and I got excited, hehe.
- Kevin J. Olson said...
I meant to add to that previous comments that "Fulci's greatest contribution to the subgenre..." and that those films weren't zombie films. The Beyond's producer was convinced Fulci had lost his mind and demanded that zombies be added to the hospital scene at the end of a movie he was convinced was to crazy...even by Italian horror standards. Anyway...
- Samuel Wilson said...
White Zombie belongs to the "sullen" category, I suppose, but the film has a dream logic of its own and its zombies have a plausibly dehumanized look that still chills me a bit when I rewatch the movie. I wouldn't put it ahead of I Walked With a Zombie, but I'm curious to know where you'd rank it on a longer version of your judicious list.
- sLx said...
The «La noche del terror ciego» is probably the movie that introduced the (quite obscure) Nazgul sub-genre. In the 80's we had Ralph Bakshi's movie and finally Peter Jackson proved that this genre can make solid money.
I wonder if there are more Nazgul movies?
- M.Y.M.H.M. said...
I'd also like to throw some shout outs to 'Fido', 'Dellamorte Dellamore', [REC] and 'They Came Back'.
Zombies are great...

Determined to make the evening even more special, Joseph Franco of North Branch, NY surprised his girlfriend during the parade with a spectacular marriage proposal. As a beautiful banner unfurled in the middle of the parade, hundreds of spectators cheered, wept and threw confetti as his lovely bride-to-be, Jenna Ferguson, blushed and accepted. The young couple was mobbed by an entire town of well-wishers during the rest of the route as they begin a new chapter in their lives. To view pictures of the affianced (and the parade in general) go online, "like" The River Reporter (www.facebook.com/riverreporter) and tag your friends.
On Saturday, I had the good fortune to catch the Kazzrie Jaxen Quartet (www.music.yahoo.com/kazzrie-jaxen) in Callicoon, NY, where musicians Jaxen, Don Messina, Charley Krachy and Bill Chattin enthralled a brunch crowd with their improvised "free form" jazz interpretations of standards, including "There Will Never Be Another You," "What Is This Thing Called Love?" and "The Man I Love." Chatting with the crowd, Jaxen shared that they "love to play standard tunes, always improvising and never really knowing how it's going to unfold. You [the audience] are a part of the process," before taking her place at the Steinway. Great skills and smooth vocals combined seamlessly in Jaxen's parlor, and I left the concert inspired to tickle the (virtual) ivories once more, thrilled to find multiple apps ("Virtuoso" and "Piano Free") for that.
Sneaking out before the finale, I was anxious to catch the CAS "Winter Members Show," (www.catskillartsociety.org) dedicated to the memory of founding member and potter Cecily Fortescue. Unveiling the gallery's plan to dedicate a wing of the space to Fortescue, Cecily's husband Arnie was on hand, and a mob milled about, reminiscing about Fortescue's talent, contributions to the community and infectious joie de vivre. Once again inspired (and wishing that I could paint, draw or create pottery), I checked out the stunning CAS "Santa Room" created by Charlie Irace for the upcoming "Trains on Main" exhibit, marked my calendar to return, and installed the "Abstract Art Gallery" and "Sketchbook Express" apps on my Ipad, for future reference.

Judge To Bulldog Thief: 'You Hid The Pup; The Jig Was Up'

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with a story of the man sentenced to prison by the way of a poem.
This was after he stole a bulldog puppy from its owners at gunpoint. The judge wrote a rhyming verdict, sending him to the joint.
MONTAGNE: With this doggerel, the Oregon judge may have inflicted a secondary judgment.
INSKEEP: (Reading) You lied and lied, I can't put that aside. It was your car. You went too far.
MONTAGNE: (Reading) You hid the pup. The jig is up. You got rid of the gun. Your game is done.

This summer, our staff attended training directed at a new 1:1 initiative for fifth and sixth grades.
Teachers will be focusing on alternative methods of delivering instruction with computer assistance. Teachers had two days of training in July and have been working on some online enhancement training since that time.
WISD is in the second year of a three-year phase in for a reading and math technology program made up of Reading Plus and Achieve 3000.
These programs will assist students at all levels to improve their academic skills.
The Secondary Campus continues to work with Coastal Bend College, and in cooperation with Refugio ISD, to offer dual credit and Career and Technology Courses. Oil and Gas Production, Welding, and CNA classes will be offered in the fall semester.
Two-a-days are under way and both Coach Miller and Coach Waer are looking for very successful seasons. The athletes are excited and are working hard despite the heat.
Woodsboro is one of the pilot districts for the new STATE Teacher and Principal Appraisal System. This will require some paradigm shifts, but I know all of us are up to it.
We will work under a new nine-week calendar this year. The Calendar Committee believed this gives students a better opportunity to adjust after each progress report. We will continue the Optional Flexible Year Program, with 170 days for students meeting state and local expectations.
Trustees has given the go ahead on the renovation plans of the auditorium and the OK to proceed with building plans for the new field house and concession stand. We should see work beginning soon at the auditorium.
WES has several new additions: Chris Shaw and Megan Montemayor at kindergarten; JoAnn Franke and Ernie Gonzales at first grade; Victoria Reagan at second grade; Ashley Davis at third grade; and Juan Padron as half-time special education teacher.
Rozene Lara has joined our SPED paraprofessional staff, with Melissa Moya, and Kat Foster moving from the secondary campus. Regina DeLeon has moved to third grade, Karen Self to pre-K, Kathy Albert to second grade, Kylie Bolcik to third grade, Karen Piland to Content Mastery and ISS, and Beth Veselka to GT/RTI.
At the secondary campus, we have new staff ,as well. Jason Morton will be assisting with technology and teaching computer science and government/economics; Joseph Grimes, special education; Jacob Dopslauf, special education; Yolanda Padron, SPED life skills; Amber Fricks-Briseno, ELA/reading; Linda Gay Palmero; reading; and English, Abigail Dopslauf, math, algebra I, and science; Katy Rodriguez, history; Jason Allbright, science; and Juan Padron, half-time SPED and ODAS.
Debbie Herrera has moved to the HS side of WJSHS. We have two new paraprofessionals in the Life Skills classroom: Ana Garcia and Irene Allbright.
On the School First Financial Accountability System, Woodsboro has received a Preliminary Ranking of Superior.
A public hearing will be scheduled later this fall to go over details. On the new Texas Academic Performance Report, Woodsboro Elementary received a rating of Improvement Required, as did the Secondary Campus. Of course, none of us are happy about these designations, but we all know this does not define us as a district.
We will continue to offer our students opportunities not found in most small Texas schools.
