Hearing is set Sept. 10 for Cass land use ordinance
Cass County commissioners conducted their regular meeting Tuesday night at Becker Township Hall in the southwest corner of the county.
They set a Sept. 10 planning commission public hearing at the land department in Backus on proposed changes to the county land use ordinance. The time is tentatively set for 1 p.m., but exact time will depend upon the number of variances the commission will hear that morning.
Major changes to the ordinance focus on provisions for resorts and family compounds and on extractive uses (gravel pits). Other minor changes also are proposed.
Copies of the changes are available on the county website at www.co.cass.mn.us and by calling the environmental services office at 218-547-7241.
Environmental Services Director John Ringle informed the county board Tuesday that Region 5 will administer a $20,000 grant available to low income Cass County residents who have failing private sewer systems that need to be updated.
Ringle said he envisions this as possibly about a $2,000 grant to couple with low income loans also available to help people pay the cost of a new sewer system. By applying the loan to a $6,000 to $7,000 project, he said, the cost of loan payments could be lowered, making those more affordable for people to repay.
Pairing the grants and loans also will enable to county to help more people, he added. People who need to replace their system can contact the environmental services office at the above phone number to see whether their income level will qualify.
After consulting with the county budget committee, Sheriff Tom Burch reported to the county board he has decided to decline acceptance of a COPS federal grant to hire two additional deputies.
Administrator Robert Yochum said the $250,000 three-year grant would require the county to match about $500,000 to pay the balance of salaries and to equip the additional deputies. It also requires the federal money to be spent only on officers who would do community policing.
The county would be required to pay the full cost for the new officers after the three-year grant period and retain them.
Burch said Cass has a greater need for additional investigative and court security services rather than general community policing. Adding one more officer for those needs would cost the county about $80,000 instead of $500,000 and could be paid from the existing levy without increasing taxes, he said.
Burch reported the George W. Neilson Foundation will pay Cass up to $13,500 to replace its K-9 police dog with a fully trained 2-year-old German shepherd dog from Performance Kennels of Buffalo.
The dog will cost $11,500, plus sales tax.
Yankee, the new dog, will replace Portos, who is now approaching 10 years old. The county board voted to transfer ownership of Portos from the county to his partner, Deputy Bill Connor, upon his Dec. 31 retirement.
Burch reported Birch Lake Township has donated $500 to the Lakes Area Dive Team.
Yochum reported the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry conducted an OSHA inspection of the courthouse, highway department and health, human and veterans services buildings in Walker July 18.
The county will pay a $1,960 reduced penalty for two violations found at the courthouse. There were no violations noted at the other two buildings.
The county closed two unused openings in the courthouse electrical panels Aug. 7 and conducted job safety training for central services staff Aug. 16 to make the county compliant.
The sheriff's department reported 33 men were available for sentence to serve in the second quarter of 2012, with 24 completing the program that quarter. They worked off $2,723 in fines by working in the program.
Their work done at the equivalent of $8 per hour amounted to an estimated $20,500 market value. Daily crews averaged five people.
They put in 1,000 hours of work for the county, 520 hours for nonprofit agencies, 400 hours for cities, 304 hours for the DNR and 48 hours for other state agencies.
Kevin Lee of North Memorial Ambulance Service reported Longville Ambulance Service transported 111 patients the second quarter of 2012, up from 99 the same period 2011. The service continues to operate at about a 10 percent profit.
Lee said margins have remained steady, so he does not expect North Memorial to request any increases from Longville Ambulance Services taxing district in 2013.
The Longville service invested $72,300 in new equipment during the quarter for two new Lifepack 15 monitors, two automated vehicle locators (GPS-type units) and one Lucas automatic cardio-pulmonary resuscitation device.
Advanced life support staff worked every shift in the quarter, Lee said. Patient satisfaction score was 93.56, compared with a 92.47 national average.
Marsden Building Maintenance LLC was the lower of two bidders to clean the health, human and veterans services building for $2,305 per month or $50 less than the county's current cleaning contract.
This includes burnishing floors four times a year and cleaning carpets annual, plus once more in high traffic areas.

text: My blood has always run GM and I just purchased my first Cadillac, new 2004 Escalade. The only thing I don't like is the nav DVD, the software is not worth a flip. I used a Garmin 2610 in my Tahoe and loved it, it would take you right to a house number on any street, anywhere in the USA. The dvd supplied with my Escalade only finds major highways in most cases. Some of the roads I ask it to find are actually on the map but the data base won't find it for you. I feel that is an important part of a mapping system, because a paper map will give you the same results and sometimes better. I am sure that a package like, City Streets, could be developed on a dvd for the Cadillac nav system and would make the system more user friendly. Help if you can.

Heating Safety
Research suggests more than one-third of home fires in the United States occur during the winter months of December, January, and February. One of the reasons those months pose a magnified fire threat is due to increased use of heating sources, such as chimneys and wood stoves. It is important to follow these heating safety tips:
Inspect and clean your furnace prior to the upcoming heating season. Oil motors and replace belts if worn.
If you have a fireplace or wood burning stove, have the chimney cleaned and inspected prior to use to prevent a back-up of deadly fumes. Wood stoves should be installed per manufacturer's instructions.
Inspect oil or coal furnaces to be sure they are operating properly.
Use only clean dry wood, do not burn trash. Use a metal container for ash removal and store it outside.
Use a glass or metal screen in front of your fireplace to prevent sparks from igniting combustible items near the fire.
Alternate Heat Sources
When selecting an alternative heater, look for one that has been tested and labeled by a Nationally recognized testing laboratory.
Make sure your alternative heaters have "tip switches." These "tip switches" are designed to automatically turn off the heater in the event of it tips over.
Read and follow the manufacturer's operating instructions. A good practice is to read aloud the instructions and warning labels to all members of the household to be certain that everyone understands how the heater is to be operated safely. Keep the owner's manual in a convenient place to refer to when needed.
Keep children and pets away from space heaters. Some heaters have very hot surfaces. Some heaters could operate dangerously if children are permitted to either adjust the controls or tip or jar the heater.
Keep doors open to the rest of the house if you are using an unvented, fuel-burning space heater. This helps to prevent pollutant build-up and promotes proper combustion. Even vented heaters require ventilation for proper combustion.
Never use a space heater overnight in the room where you are sleeping. Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide could accumulate from fuel-fired heaters, or uncontrolled burning could cause a fire.
Never use or store flammable liquids (such as gasoline) around a space heater. The flammable vapors can flow from one part of the room to another and be ignited by the open flame or by the electrical circuit of an electric heater.
Place heaters at least three feet away from objects such as bedding, furniture and drapes. Never use heaters to dry clothes or shoes. Do not place heaters where towels or other objects could fall on the heater and start a fire.
. Extinguish your heater if you're leaving the room or area for more than a few minutes. Never use an unvented heater while you're sleeping or bedridden.
Choose a Location Carefully
Be sure the location you choose can be ventilated according to manufacturer's instructions.
Don't place a heater in a doorway, hall, or walkway where it's likely to get bumped.
Kerosene Space Heaters
Never use gasoline in a kerosene heater. Even small quantities of gasoline in the heater tank can cause a fire.
Use only 1-K kerosene in kerosene heaters. Kerosene should be purchased from a dealer who can certify that it is 1-K grade kerosene. The fact that kerosene is "water clear" does not ensure that it is 1-K, since both 1-K and 2-K can appear clear.
Never fill the fuel tank of a kerosene heater beyond the full mark because as the fuel warms, it expands and could spill and cause a fire.
Do not attempt to move the heater, remove the fuel tank, or refuel the heater when it is operating or hot.
Refuel heater out of doors.
In case flare-up or uncontrolled flaming occurs, do not attempt to move the heater. If your heater is equipped with a manual shut-off switch, activate the switch to turn off the heater. If activation of the shut-off switch does not extinguish the flame, leave the area and immediately call the fire department.
Keep kerosene stored outside in a seated blue container labeled "Kerosene."
Electric Heaters
Water is a good conductor of electricity and increases the changes of electric shock. Don't touch an electric heater if your hands are wet or you're in contact with water in any way. Never use an electric heater:
In a bathroom
In a damp basement
Near water
Touching an electric heating element while it's on can cause a serious burn or shock. Some heaters have electrically "live" elements whenever they're plugged in--even if the switch is turned off! The best way to prevent accidental shock or burns is to unplug your portable electric heater whenever it's not being used. Always unplug it before going to bed.
Be sure the grill protects the heating elements from children's fingers and toys.
Be sure that the grill, cover or sides don't become hot enough to burn when touched.
Make sure there's a tip-over switch or a heat sensor (or both) that turns off the heater if it falls over.
Plug your heater directly into an outlet if possible. If you must use an extension cord, be sure its electrical rating is as high as the one listed on the heater.
Some electrical heaters use the full capacity of a normal household circuit. You may not be able to use other appliances at the same time.
If a fuse blows or a circuit breaker trips, unplug your heater before replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker.
Call a professional if you have any signs of a wiring problem--frequently blown fuses, dimmed lights, hot cords or outlets.
Cooking Safety
In case the power fails, plan to use alternative cooking devices in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Never use open flames or grills indoors.
Do not use the kitchen oven range to heat your home. In addition to being a fire hazard, it can be a source of toxic fumes.
Be Prepared for an Emergency
Equip your home with at least one smoke detector on each floor.
If your smoke detectors do not have battery back-up, the Fire Department recommends that you also have battery operated smoke detectors in case of a power outage.
Provide carbon monoxide detectors.
--including one near your portable heater. A multi-purpose extinguisher (Class ABC) can be used on all types of fires.
Develop a fire escape plan before a fire occurs. Be certain that all members of the household understand the plan and are able to carry out the plan in case of an emergency.
Be sure the plan includes a predetermined meeting place outside the house.
If your clothing catches fire, don't run! Drop down immediately and roll to smother the flames. Teach your family how to do this.
If there is a fire hydrant near your home or business, please keep it free of snow.

Review: There's something (weird) about Mary
This undated publicity pho[auth] to provided by Philip Rinaldi Publicity shows Fiona Shaw as Mary in a scene from play, "The Testament of Mary," by Colm Toibin, which opens Monday, April 22, 2013. The one-woman show directed Deborah Warner is currently playing a limited engagement on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York. (AP Photo/Philip Rinaldi Publicity, Paul Kolnik)
NEW YORK (AP) — If every mother secretly believes her son is a saint, you'd have to imagine the Virgin Mary would be positively insufferable.
But she isn't in Colm Toibin's thrilling, idiosyncratic imagining of Mary's life after her son's death. The one-woman show, "The Testament of Mary," opened Monday at the Walter Kerr Theatre starring Fiona Shaw — sharing the stage with a live vulture — and taking big bites out of the New Testament.
This is a bold work, one that portrays Mary as a critic of what will eventually emerge as Church orthodoxy. She thinks Jesus' friends were a bad influence, doubts his divine powers and ultimately doesn't believe his crucifixion was worth it.
"Gather together misfits, I said, and you will get recklessness, ambition, anything at all, and it will lead to what I saw, to the worst sort of catastrophe," she says.
If you do not want to see Mary with an unlit cigarette cradling a bottle of booze while splayed out on a table, this may not be the play for you. If you don't want your Mary naked, move along. Opening night had protesters outside the theater.
In a gentle Irish accent, Shaw is at turns mournful and at others table-flipping angry. Director Deborah Warner, a frequent Shaw collaborator, puts the actress on the constant move — nervously cleaning, rearranging furniture and even diving into a small pool onstage. This Mary is prone to menacing anger and sharp screams, suffering from simmering trauma and guilt.
In a season of one-man shows on Broadway — Bette Midler, Alan Cumming, Holland Taylor and Mike Tyson — Shaw may have one of the more controversial, rolling her eyes at apostles and dismissing them as if they were weirdoes her son met smoking funny cigarettes at Bonnaroo. She also must reveal a mother's horrific anguish at watching the brutal death of her son. Shaw is up to the task for both, even if the production seems littered with half-baked ideas.
We meet her Mary years after the death of Jesus as she is being watched and lobbied to accept church doctrine from "my minders, my guards." ("They want to make what happened live forever," she mocks.) But she refuses to play along.
Mary recounts three major events — the wedding at Cana, where Jesus turned water into wine, Lazarus' rising from the dead and the crucifixion, which Mary watched but fled before the end. Toibin's text is lyrical and paranoid, offering in just 90 minutes a glimpse of a mother's alienation from history, from, in fact, The Greatest Story Ever Told.
At Cana, her son is like a stranger, "oddly formal and grand," who seems to perform a wine-based party trick in front of drunks. As for the risen Lazarus, Mary sees in the "miracle" just a sad, whimpering creature who can eat only bread soaked in water and shuffle sadly. She reminds us that he will have to die twice.
Often, this is a Virgin Mary as hard to pin down as the time frame, although we are told the setting is "now" in the Playbill. She switches in and out of nondescript tunics and dresses designed by Ann Roth, getting more modern as she goes until she's in just a white T-shirt and slacks. Along the way, Shaw uses shawls and bolts of fabric to recreate the kinds of poses in which Mary has been imagined in classic paintings.
The stage that set designer Tom Pye has decorated includes a metal folding table you might find at a Target, a ladder, a few cane chairs, barbed wire, a gorgeous bush sculpted from metal, a birdcage and a stunning wooden bird pole, though the vulture that had been onstage before the curtain was nowhere to be found during one preview.
The audience is invited to wander around onstage before the show and have a close-up look at Pye's work, including peering into a subterranean basement and at the scraps of paper Mary waves about. Shaw, meanwhile, is in a glass box murmuring before the show starts, an apparent nod to Marian statues.
But the combined effect of all this stuff is faint indeed, a playful obliqueness that seems somewhat pointless. It's as if the creators didn't trust Mary's story to be riveting enough so they littered the stage with distractions.
The use of a yellow-headed vulture, named Pinhead, and Mary's plunge into a bath are over-the-top touches. Mary also refuses to say her son's name, a coyness that grows irritating. And an unwillingness to ground this Mary in any time or place is understandable but misses the chance to make a fully fleshed person, despite Shaw's obvious theatrical gifts.

Manufacturer: n-trance
Product Name: n-Tegrity – Fingerprint protected Personal Data Manager
With the state of the world we live it today security related products have become very popular, they're not just for the government or business people anymore. Average everyday citizens need a way to protect themselves, not only from online scams and schemes but offline in the real world as well. If you happen to lose your wallet you've got to cancel credit cards etc, but if you happen to lose a USB drive with important documents on it it will take a lot more than a couple phone calls to companies to fix the problem.
We carry USB drives to be able to take our things with us, most of the time it's just basic stuff, but some people carry their work, and some even have a web browser on them. If you happen to lose that drive then you leave yourself not only open to losing your data but your browsing history as well and possibly sensitive information like login for banks and any other things you might do online, you could even possibly be giving the thief access to your credit card info as well. Carrying a secured, encrypted drive is the only real means of protection you have to prevent data loss.
There are many types of secure USB drives on the market today, not long ago I took a look at the IronKey which is one solution, today I've got another from a company called N-Trance. The n-Tegrity USB drive uses biometrics to secure the drive, so it's as unique as you are, but it also uses military encryption as well on the data that's stored on the drive itself. That's not all this drive is good for though, it does include a few applications with it, and you can add more as needed. The real feature of this drive is the ability to use your fingerprint to login to virtually any web site out there, that is part of the technology for this device that the company, N-Trance, has developed. No more passwords to remember as they are stored on the drive itself, encrypted of course for further protection.
The n-Tegrity comes in a nice little box with lots of information all over it, it's got a front flap that opens to reveal the drive itself and a bit more information.
Included with the Biometric USB Drive is a USB extension cable, user guide and lanyard.
The USB drive itself is obviously larger or wider than a 'standard drive' to accommodate the biometirc reader. The cover is built in to the drive itself, the drive slides in on itself to reveal the USB connection. The blue part is textured to easy gripping, and overall it feels very well made.

Flash capacity 256Mb to 4Gb
When you first put the drive into the computer you have to initialize the security though random patterns by moving the mouse across a picture, then you can scan your fingerprints in for recognition, then you can set a password. The biometric scanner seems to work fine, as with any fingerprint reader you have to swipe your finger across the sensor in a certain way for it to register, but I ran into no problems with the reader.
If you read the specs you'd know that a few programs come pre-installed on the drive, IE, Theunderbird for Email, Miranda for Messaging and Skype, you can set any of these to autorun and of course you can add more programs if you wish to. Once to program is running it's also in your taskbar with other options available to you as well.
From the icon you can access all of the other options of the drive including: Fringerprints, Security Settings, n-Pass, Cryptography, n-Crypt, and n-Logon.
n-Pass is used for securely storing you passwords for any websites, contacts and secure VPN logos.
n-Crypt EVD is used to create an encrytped virtual drive on your computer that is only accessible when the n-Tegrity is plugged in, when it's not plugged in the virtual drive 'disappears'. With the ever growing concerns over security, especially with laptops this could be a great tool to protect data.
-Purpose – Encrypts and decrypts files/folders and whole disks to protect the valuable data, Encrypts and protects executable files to prevent unauthorized use of applications.
n-Logon is for logon credentials, you can logon to windows with your fingerprint.
–Purpose – Improve security and convenience by replacement of username/password typing with hardware key and biometric authentication
n-Pass is the main program that controls everything really, the icon in the taskbar is n-Pass.
-Purpose – saving and filling of web forms and passwords automatically
The main function or idea behind this drive is for it to be used with the n-Trance technology called n-Surf. Utilizing the technology from n-Trance included into a webiste users can logon and access secure websites automatically or with the wipe of the finger. The technology allows everything to be stored encrypted on the n-Tegrity drive which prevents any chance of someone stealing a users information.
OpenID is something that it already works with the n-Trance system, you can use the n-Tegrity or n-Pass to store the ids and never have to worry about it being compromised.
One of the great things about this technology is that none of your personal information, passwords or IDs are stored on the computer, they're on the n-Tegrity drive in an encrypted state so there's no chance of them being compromised or stolen even if a virus or hacker attacks your computer.
You can visit the sample n-surf website HERE to see the technology in action, of course if you don't have the drive you won't be able to use all of the features..
There is a lot more information about this technology available on the n-trance website HERE.
This product is not only for consumers, but it can be great for corporate users as well to secure all of their data and allow encrypted, secure VPN access to the servers.
The n-tegrity Pro and all it entails is a very useful security tool, it adds quite a bit of security measures to your computer that, in this day and age, anyone can really appreciate.
Besides the fact that it's rather cool and futuristic to allow someone to be able to access their computer through a biometric reader.
Overall it's a very interesting and useful device in itself, the accompanying n-Surf technology though has to be adopted by more sites to make that part of it worthwhile. You can use the n-Pass software as is to secure all of your other personal IDs and Passwords, which comes in handy.
-Simple to use
-Well made
-Good security measures
-Interesting approach to web security
-The Web security approach needs to be adopted by more sites to make it work

Treasury Department officials are planning a secondary sale of shares for late summer or early fall.
It was a straightforward question decided in a straightforward manner.
The question: with another Halogen Software Inc. equity offering in the works, what would happen to the syndicate when one of the five underwriters — specifically one of the two lead managers and book runners used in its initial public offering that was completed earlier this year — has exited the business?
Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank were chosen to lead the government's massive first sale of its A.I.G. holdings, expected in mid-May.

The Kremlin is planning to build an exclusive health clinic for President Vladimir Putin and senior officials, according to documents seen by Reuters and to medical sources familiar with the project.
Actavis plc (NYSE:ACT) plans to complete a $22 billion bond offering by Tuesday to finance its $66 billion acquisition of Botox-maker Allergan, Inc. (NYSE:AGN), sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
IT'S difficult to imagine a scenario in which America's labour market recovery proceeded as rapidly as the one following the 1982 downturn. This was a different sort of recession, and history tells us that recoveries in the wake of debt busts and financial crises are long and slow. Still, things looked somewhat promising back in the spring of this year. Private employment, which had begun growing again in January of 2010, rose by 158,000 jobs in March and by 241,000 jobs in April.
Actavis plc (NYSE:ACT) on Tuesday completed its bond sale, which ranks as the second-largest corporate bond deal on record. The $21 billion bonds flew off the shelves, as yield-hungry investors swarmed in for investments with returns better than the low Treasury bond yields.
BEIJING — Police have detained a local official and a driver for fatally running over a 13-month-old boy during an argument with his family over the payment of a fine for violating China's strict family planning limits, state media and the local government said Wednesday.
Microsoft is on track to deliver Windows 10, its next version of Windows, as early as the late summer, COO Kevin Turner told attendees of the Credit Suisse Technology Conference on Thursday.
Bain Capital plans to sell its entire stake, about 3.7 million shares, as part of a secondary stock sale that LinkedIn announced late on Monday.

Mastering Kali Linux for Advanced Penetration Testing will teach you the kill chain perspective in assessing network security—from selecting the most effective tools, to rapidly compromising network security, to highlighting the techniques used to avoid detection.
This book will take you, as a tester, through the reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-exploitation activities used by penetration testers and hackers. After learning the hands-on techniques to perform an effective and covert attack, specific routes to the target will be examined, including bypassing physical security. You will also get to grips with concepts such as social engineering, attacking wireless networks, web services, and remote access connections. Finally, you will focus on the most vulnerable part of the network—directly attacking the end user.
This book will provide all the practical knowledge needed to test your network's security using a proven hacker's methodology.
This book provides an overview of the kill chain approach to penetration testing, and then focuses on using Kali Linux to provide examples of how this methodology is applied in the real world. After describing the underlying concepts, step-by-step examples are provided that use selected tools to demonstrate the techniques.
If you are an IT professional or a security consultant who wants to maximize the success of your network testing using some of the advanced features of Kali Linux, then this book is for you. This book will teach you how to become an expert in the pre-engagement, management, and documentation of penetration testing by building on your understanding of Kali Linux and wireless concepts.

Comments about oreilly Mastering Kali Linux for Advanced Penetration Testing:
For a Security professional it is of utmost importance to know kali linux platform, this book is a good resource for getting introduced to various tools and their working mechanics.The author in this book has very well conveyed the a b c.... of the kali linux, including ups & downs of a penetration testing.Pros:-Simplicity - a novice user can just follow the chapters with the kali linux installed in the system, the screen shots prove very much useful and decrease the initial learning curve on the topic.-'The attackers kill - chain' Explained Excellently. The phases of recon and information gathering, which are vital for any successful attack are shown here quite nicely.-An overview of most famous tools such as Nmap, Metasploit framework, recon-ng framework is given to help readers know and explore these tools.-Extra tools that can be used in every phase of the kill chain are shown that adds more fun to learning.-Clear and simple understanding of the matters related to security.-The part of 'exploit' & 'attack' is interesting and fun to learn.Cons:-Very little info on 'Maltego' is provided, expected some more on Maltego, so that more features and power of maltego can be demonstrated.Some more info on other tools could have been given.Conclusion:-this book can prove to be a very useful resource to anyone who is interested in information security / Penetration Testing, Security Professionals for sharpening their skills. Also, for System Administrators / IT managers this book can benefit them as they will know the possible attack vectors and patch them if they find before a 'Black Hat' does.

Like it or not, touchscreens are becoming the norm for Windows laptops. If you want to tap away on the on-screen keyboard in your next Windows 8 laptop or tablet PC, do yourself a favor and use the accessibility keyboard instead of the default touch keyboard.
A little bit of backstory: Windows 7 and earlier versions had an on-screen keyboard similar to today's Windows 8 touch keyboard--but dramatically better. The former (orange-toned) keyboard could be repositioned and resized wherever you wanted, set to slide in from the left or right side of the screen with a tap, and automatically appear whenever the cursor was in a text field. To use an over-used phrase, it just worked.
By contrast, the new Windows 8 touch keyboard is huge, taking up nearly a third of the screen in some small laptops, and it lacks a lot of functionality. You can move that giant keyboard around, but can't resize it. There's a mobile-like option for splitting the keyboard for easy thumbing, but nowhere can you find special keys like the Windows key or function key. The handwriting input screen no longer has that easy way to correct individual letters.
Update: As some of the commenters have noted, you can get the option for the full keyboard in Windows 8 by turning it on in settings (it's not on by default, for reasons I can not imagine): Swipe from the right edge of the screen, click Settings, then Change PC Settings. Under the General section you can toggle the option to make the standard keyboard layout available.
Granted, many of these changes were likely made to accomodate touch--and fat fingers--rather than the penabled (stylus) touchscreens of Windows tablet PCs of yore. But, still, you might prefer a more familiar, traditional keyboard layout on screen.
Oddly enough (or maybe not), you can get that with the on-screen keyboard designed for accessibility. Head to the Ease of Access Center (under Control Panel > Ease of Access) and turn on the on-screen keyboard to get a more functional keyboard that can be resized, docked, and minimized with one tap. In addition to the default keyboard layout (complete with number keys at the top), you can also show a number pad and other missing keys such as the page up and down keys, PrtScn key, and more.
It even predicts words as you tap!
Head to the options in the on-screen keyboard to have it start up every time Windows 8 boots.
The on-screen keyboard isn't as functional as the old touch keyboard in Windows 7 and earlier (there's no handwriting input, for example), but it's much better than the default one on Windows 8.

You are herecontent / Climate Pledge
Climate Pledge
They were the largest climate protests in U.S. history, with over 50,000 marching in Washington D.C. and tens of thousands more taking part in protests across the country. Yesterday, Jill Stein joined a large Green Party contingent from across the country, sending a clear message at the protests that ending climate change requires political change and systems change.
To drive that message home, Jill Stein has launched the Climate Voter Power Pledge, a pledge to not to vote for any candidate who supports a climate-killing "All of the Above" approach to energy production. Got that, White House?
Please sign the Climate Voter Power Pledge and tell everyone you know about it. Marching and rallying is one way to show power. But the power of the vote, and of denying the vote, is another way we can redirect our politics and our economy away from the climate cliff.
Read, sign, and share the Climate Voter Power Pledge by clicking here: http://www.jillstein.

A small amount of steam was coming from under the hood of my truck. I had my brother-in-law look at the problem and he said that I had a intake valve gasket link. He showed me where the coolant fluids were linking down in the valley pan underneath the motor. This problem just started yesterday and I haven't driven the truck since. Is this a major problem and I hard is it to fix. Should I go to a shop or let a backyard mechanic mix it?
What will it cost to fix an intake gasket link on a 2001 expedition with 173,000 on 2001 Ford Expedition

Removing Crown Moulding ??
265 Attachment(s)
We are going to install new sheet rock ceilings and was wondering whether the existing crown moulding can be removed without getting damaged or will we have to buy and install new CM. Thanks a lot
It can usually be carefully removed and reused. Takes a lot more time, but if money is tight, it will save you from buying new. Slide an old drywall knife behind first, then get a pry bar in under that. Pull the nails out through the back of the molding to minimize the wood tear out on the front. Look to see the correct order for removal, as the coped ends fit over the others.
Cut along the paint lines top and bottom first to cut down on the sheetrock repairs.

Thanks so much guys. Is there a place to donate here. I feel obligated :)
P/M me and I'll give you a secret address you can send it to.
depending on the type of material used it may require being a little more delicate with it.. some mdf crown is very soft which increases the chance of it flaking or chipping very easy. when you go to remove the nails in it use a set of small vice grips or pliers and pull them out from the back so the face of the crown doesnt get damaged
1 Attachment(s)
Just make sure the material is not like this one. Removal and reinstall was not an option.
What no coped top plates???
I find that a 5 in one Painters tool is very useful----
Cut the caulking with a utility knife----then tap the painters tool between the drywall and trim--
When you locate a nail--place the painters tool onto the nail--hit with a hammer--and it will bend and pull the nail right out of the back of the trim----
Works like a charm --nails gone---trim loose and safe to remove---
265 Attachment(s)
Pry the trim down just a bit---slide the tool under the trim until you encounter a nail----
Then ,with the tool in between the drywall and the trim,set the tool onto the nail---hit it with a hammer--the blade will bend the nail and pull it through the back of the trim---
Nail will still be in the drywall--and your trim will be loose---
Try it----this is a very safe way to remove trim undamaged---

Brian Scalabrine turns down Bulls coaching job to broadcast for Celtics
Former Bulls forward Brian Scalabrine turned down an assistant coaching job and will instead broadcast Celtics games for Comcast Sports New England, reports Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
Scalabrine played for the Celtics for five years prior to joining the Bulls in 2010. He averaged 1.1 points, 0.6 rebounds and 4.6 minutes per game during his two seasons with the Bulls and became a free agent at the end of last year. While the "White Mamba" may not be done playing altogether--he's left open the possibility of playing overseas in January--he likely won't be returning to the NBA.
https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/243750935560589313 The decision doesn't come as a big surprise, as the 11-year veteran told ESPNChicago in January that he preferred a broadcasting job over an NBA coaching position.

Researchers at the University of Kentucky and Chevron have come up with a way to make engine oil by recycling old plastic bottles.
The technology could ultimately be used to ease both the trash problem and the ever-increasing difficulties of finding fossil fuels. American roughly consume about 25 million tons of plastic a year, but only about 1 million tons get recycled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Most end up in landfills.
The process involves converting the plastic bottle into a wax that, with further processing, can be converted into a lubricant. Chevron developed a technique for converting plastic into a lubricating wax in the 1990s, but commercial applications so far have been limited.
The Chevron-Kentucky study will be more fully documented in the July 20 issue of Energy & Fuels, published by the American Chemical Society.
In the energy world, waste is big. Some university professors are looking at ways of converting biomass-farm or human waste--into methane. Meanwhile, GreenFuel Technologies is working on using algae to consume polluting hydrocarbons and turn them into fuel.

Strikes, delays, cancellations and missed flights. Just four reasons you might end up stuck in an airport. With BA customers facing industrial action and some airlines looking at bankruptcy, there could be more of the same on the way. Yet British householders are apparently reluctant to give up their holidays. According to a recent YouGov survey for Hoseasons, only 5% of the 2,300 people surveyed said they would forgo a break this year.
For travellers unlucky enough to find themselves stuck in possibly one of the most tedious environments in the world, it will feel like there is little that could alleviate the pain. However, believe it or not, there are ways you can improve the experience – and even save some money in the process.
Anyone who has ever parked at an airport without pre-booking will know how expensive it is. Gatwick, for example, charges £9 a day at its long-stay north terminal car park. There are dozens of websites that will quote advance prices for Gatwick's car parks – including its own website at gatwickairport.com. Cash asked it to quote for eight days' parking at the end of January to the beginning of February and was offered £34.60.
Other websites take the data from various parking sites and come up with the cheapest deal. Cash tried holidayextras.com for the same week's parking and the cheapest price was £32, with a free car wash thrown in. Gosimply.com came back with a price of £29.60 for parking with a regular shuttle bus.
"The main thing about airport parking is the sooner you book the cheaper it is," says Nina Montgomery, spokeswoman for essentialtravel.co.uk. "Over the February half-term, for example, someone wanting a week's parking at Heathrow could save £65 by booking now."
An even cheaper, but potentially riskier, way to park is to find a privately rented parking space. Parkatmyhouse.co.uk is one of several websites that list such spaces. The cheapest we could find there for Gatwick was £11.50 a week plus an additional £5.50 to £7 on a cab journey to the terminal.
If you have an early morning flight or live a long way from the airport, you could save money on parking by booking in at an airport hotel for one night. The website flypark.co.uk, for example, quotes a double room in the Marriott Courtyard hotel at £52.81 for the room only, or £65 including eight days' parking. Parking at Gatwick without pre-booking over the same period would cost you £72.
Airport lounges
Booking into an airport lounge could seem like a bit of an extravagance, but it could be the most comfortable place to wait for your flight to be called.
"You typically pay £13.50 for an airport lounge, and when you consider you get complementary food, drinks, newspapers and Wi-Fi and how much you spend on these in departures, lounges can be worth it," Montgomery says.
It is possible to save a little by booking before you go. Cash tried a number of websites for the Servisair lounge at Glasgow airport. Fhr-net.co.uk came back with £18.45, loungepass.com quoted £17.50 and Servisair itself returned the cheapest price at £13.
Some paid-for current accounts and credit cards come with access to airport lounges. Lloyds TSB, for example, offers free access to 19 UK airport lounges for you and your travelling companions with its Platinum and Premier accounts. However, you have to book your holiday or flight through Lloyds TSB Travel Service, which may not offer the cheapest prices. Similarly, if you have a Barclays Premier account, you get access to lounges six times a year for nothing.
It's worth checking with your airline when you book to see if it's doing any special offers. For example, easyJet is running a buy-one-get-one-free on airport lounges for people booking flights with the airline until 14 February.
Leaving buying your currency until you get to the airport is the one of the most expensive ways to buy it, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't pick it up there if you've ordered it in advance.
At the time of writing, for £200 you could buy €224 with Travelex by ordering online and collecting it at the airport – where you would not be offered as good a rate (you can't check the rate before you get there). This compares with the €215 you could have got by visiting an HSBC branch, for example.
You can find the best deal for your holiday money, including collection and delivery details and any charges, by using a tool on the moneysavingexpert website.
Perhaps the best bit about any time spent in an airport, by choice or otherwise, is the shopping.
You might not think of leaving the purchase of a high-spec camera to the last minute, but a recent survey by Which? Holiday found that buying a digital SLR camera from Dixons Travel shop at Heathrow Terminal 1 was cheaper than online or high street retailers for 70% of the models compared by its researchers.
You can check prices at Dixons Travel stores before travelling to the airport. To find the phone number of your relevant airport branch, go online at dixonstaxfree.co.uk. At the moment, the website is claiming its airport stores will guarantee to beat prices at John Lewis, Amazon, Jessops, Tesco, Asda and Comet on all digital cameras, digital SLRs, laptops and iPods.
Cosmetic and perfumes are also favourite to buy at the airport, as shops there often have exclusive offers as well as cheaper prices overall. For example, Stansted airport's website lists a Dior Homme Sport spray at £38.15 in its World Duty Free store. The same bottle on the Boots website is £58.
Not everything is cheaper of course, and it's worth going with a list of prices you have seen on the high street or online before you buy a more expensive item in the airport.

I have a few questions concerning mods, cleaning and troubleshooting. Since it's my first car with a hood scoop and turbo, I'd like to know if it's ok to take it through a brushless car wash or it's a better idea to wash it by hand, I don't want to mess up anything with the engine. Then I'd like to find out what are some good first upgrades that will add some HP but won't destroy my MPG or my wallet. I was thinking of putting on a K&N typhoon air filter kit and Magnaflow catback exhaust with downpipe to start and then eventually a short throw shifter...any suggestions on those or any other parts?? Also, is there any common problems that I should be aware of or look out for. Thanks, and glad to be part of the WRX family now, it's cool to have a car that's kinda rare in my area and so when I do see someone else with one liking passing on the road, they give me a wave or a head nod and it's kinda cool cause we know we part of an elite group.

As the Paducah City Commission is reviewing its 2015 budget, Paducah Fire Chief Steve Kyle is hoping to receive funds to continue their demolition program.
In the next fiscal year, the city could allocate $200,000 toward foreclosure and demolition projects in an effort to bring new life to some of the oldest neighborhoods in Paducah - Frenchtown and Upper Town.
"Foreclosure is as big a part of it as demolition," Kyle said. "If we don't own it, we can't do anything with it."
He estimates the money will be enough to demolish 29 buildings, but it's just a drop in the bucket compared to number of properties which have been identified as at-risk structures.
The Paducah Fire Department, Fire Prevention Division, took over building, construction and electrical inspections in 2012. At the time, the inspection department did not have a director, and it seemed appropriate to incorporate both departments into one.
"The fire department does code enforcement too. We've had a long-standing relationship with inspections," he said. "It seemed like a natural fit."
The previous inspection department had 40 houses out for bid for demolition.
"We suspected there were many more," Kyle said, "but there was no list, no ranking, no system. It became figuring out which properties needed it, where they were and what order they need to be done."
In March 2013, the fire department developed the first-ever comprehensive list of structures that needed to be demolished in the city. Currently, 101 buildings are on the list. Kyle estimated it would cost $687,000 to tear down every identified structure.
"We have a goal and we have a plan," he said. "One hundred structures is not manageable; that's too many."
Many of the properties are concentrated on the north and south sides of town. Each building is ranked, based on its state of decay or if the structure is inherently unsafe. Should an emergency occur in one of the abandoned, dilapidated homes, the possibility of a roof collapsing or floors giving way becomes a serious concern for firefighters, Kyle said.
"This (list) is purely from our own perspective, from our fire department. As we respond to these fires, it's unsafe. Our brothers and sisters in blue were a part of that too."
Abandoned buildings are sometimes prey to criminal mischief in general, Kyle continued.
"Anything from drugs, to scrappers to kids. Kids are what we worry about the most."
In Frenchtown, on the 1200 block of Salem Street, neighbors faced a different problem due to overgrowth around three adjoining dilapidated properties.
"The neighbors had told us they had a mosquito problem because of all that growth," Kyle said. "The structures themselves were in bad shape; the bushes were in bad shape, and there were both shaded and damp areas which could cause such problems."
Three homes on Salem Street were among the 30 structures demolished using city funding last year.
Twenty-six additional homes were demolished by private individuals. In several cases, Kyle said, neighboring homeowners or businesses purchased the property adjacent to their own after the city foreclosed on the property and covered the cost of demolition on their own.
Demolition can be unpopular, Kyle said, but thus far he's had no complaints.
"This is a way to turn it into a positive. This is neighborhood revitalization, and demolition has to be a part of it."
But it has never been their goal to force individuals to sell their property, he said.
"We want the owner to maintain their property and keep it. We look for structural issues such as gutters hanging off to chipping and peeling paints. But we have to take care of the bigger issues. All of the problems we see are due to lack of maintenance."
Once demolished, the end goal is to sell the lot to a new owner and to turn these neighborhoods into a welcoming place to live, much like the city has done with the Fountain Avenue neighborhood.
"The city commission could consider creating a program very similar to the Fountain Avenue Neighborhood Revitalization Program," said Steve Ervin, planning director. "Not a lot of new construction is happening in areas of downtown besides Fountain Avenue and Lower Town."
Offering incentives, such as waiving permit fees or down payment assistance, might be a way to encourage new construction in the area and "start to create a healthy neighborhood," Ervin continued.
"If you aren't talking annexation, then revitalization is one way to bring people back," said City Commissioner Richard Abraham.

Eli Manning has to be the most overrated QB in NFL history. He has been blessed with miracle receivers that have made him a Superbowl MVP twice. I think he was actually accurate 5 times the whole game, and he almost put one of his receivers on the IR because of the catch they had to make. He gets MVP it is a joke. I cant stand to look at him. Then he self proclaims himself as an elite QB next to names that he isn't good enough to serve them water. Welll good luck NY the real MVP should be Justin Tuck or JPP not Eli I can't throw a pass Manning. His brother played him and showed you what a real Manning QB was when he kicked the crap out of him when they played each other. Well that's politics for you, give Eli some average players and he is a nobody. give him miracle receivers which all deserved the MVP more than him and there you have it a Superbowl MVP.

Today, James Brooks followed through on his intentions to pursue a more pop driven direction with his music. As of now Elite Gymnastics is in limbo and his latest solo endeavor, Dead Girlfriends, is at the forefront. His new project also shares the same name as his always insightful and occasionally controversial Tumblr. Given how outspoken he's been about the music industry and some of its antics, it's unsurprising that much of the EP's lyrical content eludes to or outright calls it out. You can stream or download the 4-song Stop Pretending EP here.
Accompanying the EP is a video for "on fraternity." it's more of a lyric video with Brooks playing a Nintendo DS as the song's lyrics and overhead view of a stream are projected onto a wall. The artwork for the EP was done by Claire Boucher, aka Grimes.
Aside from participating in Adult Swim's single series last year the Elite Gymnastics project has been silent. As of today it is "technically a defunct project" and Dead Girlfriends can be assumed to take precedent. Stream the EP in its entirety here and watch the video for "on fraternity," below.

There's a chance that buried in that cluttered family room is a shiny silver lining: What if you could benefit from letting it go for while?
As Eric Abrahamson and his co-author David H. Freedman outline in their book A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder, many of us spend so much time trying to control mess, we're using our time inefficiently, making bad decisions and even threatening our relationships.
They found that 80 per cent of people who were living with someone said the differences over mess and disorganization were a source of tension, and one in 12 people cited strife over mess as a factor in their separation, breakup or divorce. So instead of genuflecting at the altar of cleanliness, maybe more of us could pause and appreciate our messes as symbols of time well-spent.
We spoke to Eric Abrahamson in New York.
So, do you have an out for us messy types?
There's an optimal level of mess and disorder. Since people think order is good they tend to overinvest in it. If you spend 20 hours cleaning up your desk, are you going to get 20 hours back of greater efficiency? If you don't, maybe you only spend five hours and you get it to a decent state and that's when you're going to get a return. In one study we found that people with more orderly desks actually spend more time looking for things.
That seems counterintuitive. Yet comforting.
They file everything, then their files are more complex than their mental structures so they can't find things because which of the files did I put that in? Even if they're indexed, you can only index on one dimension – subject, timing, author, for instance. Most objects we file have 5, 10, 100 dimensions. In a mess you can find things you weren't expecting to find.
Is it often a battle between a messy person and a neat person?
I trailed a personal organizer on a call to a messy woman's home. For me the place was messy, but it was not Collyer-brothers-level messy. We went and looked at her husband's closet. She was maybe at a 6 in terms of order; I expected him to be at a 10. We opened his closet and I would say he was at a 7. I realized that the strife is relative, not absolute. You can have a slob arguing with a super-slob. Or you can have an absolutely anally-compulsive person arguing with an obsessive-compulsive person. The argument will be the same. The more profound question is how orderly do you need to be?
What's the solution?
A lot of attempts to get organized fail because they're given by orderly people. There's a benefit to letting a mess pile up and dealing with it all at once. You might pile a bunch of stuff in your garage. Once in a while, when the garage gets full, you spend an intense period putting things away. You get what's called returns-to-scale. Cleaning up a big mess once is more efficient than avoiding a big mess by taking little steps repeatedly.
Do any messy people have any good advice?
I've found techniques to get more organized. Certain types of books I just knock off my desk and they fall on the floor in one spot. So I know that if I put a shelf there, they'll fall off and fall on the shelf. That's advice for a messy person.
So a garage full of stuff, a desk filled with papers – we shouldn't feel so bad?
We're all assaulted with too much of everything. We get too many ideas, bits of information, too much e-mail. Messes on our computer. Too many possessions, too many options. And we have limited capacity and time to absorb that stuff. If we spent all our time organizing it we would get nothing done.
Sometimes it's better to take everything that's in your garage and light it on fire because of the actual time you're going to take and the money you're going to save.
How can people decide which things to let go? It has to be clean.
We're not advocating being a complete slob – like letting things grow in your living room because old food has mutated. It's realizing that if one is busy, one is not going to have infinite time to create order. Maybe you want one room where you can entertain people: "We don't have to line up the paper clips. We understand why the living room gets messy – I happen to work there or we're really tired when we come in so we drop stuff there." Maybe there's a dropping receptacle you can have. Something you can actually do in the long run.Report Typo/Error

You've heard the warning a thousand times: Chocolate kills canines.
Is this fact or fiction?
As it turns out, large amounts of chocolate can be lethal to doggies. A stimulant in the cocoa bean called theobromine is poisonous to dogs. It'll increase urination (a symptom), affect the central nervous system and potentially cause epileptic seizures in some dogs. In severe cases, gorging on chocolate can lead to hyperthermia, coma and even death
Xylitol – a sugar substitute found in sugar-free gum, toothpaste, candy and more – can also prove fatal to pups. The faux sugar can cause a fast insulin release that will lead to dangerously low blood sugar, says the American Medical Association. Just 0.2-0.4 grams of Xylitol (or one piece of gum) can cause hypoglycemia in a 20-pound dog. It may even cause liver failure.
Keep grapes away from Fido too. (That includes raisins!) Experts think an agent in the skins of grapes is what is toxic, or even the high levels of vitamin D. If a dog eats as little as 9 ounces of these "godly" fruits, it can result in vomiting, lethargy, dehydration, irregular breathing and kidney failure.
Nutmeg may be good in egg nog, but not in Barky's belly. Like chocolate, it affects the central nervous system and could lead to seizures, tremors and death, say many veterinarians. It could also cause hallucinations.
Avocados are another killer. They contain a toxic ingredient called persin that can damage a dog's heart, lungs. Symptoms may include an upset stomach, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and abdominal enlargement. The condition could result in pancreatitis or even death, according to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control.
If you suspect your pup ate something that may be toxic, take him/her to the vet immediately.
Do you know of another food that's toxic to our furry friends? Has your tail-wagger ever eaten toxic food?

BREAKDOWN–United States-1997
The strength of Breakdown lies in the ability of its stars to make their characters interesting despite their lack of depth. Kurt Russell is one of our most reliable actors, capable of taking any role given to him and making it believable.
Before his untimely death in 1998, JT Walsh was the actor for hire when it came to playing good old boys with just a trace of slime to their underbellies. Roles like 'Red' Barr and his short but memorable character in Sling Blade are a testament to this.
Breakdown isn't perfect and we don't expect it to. What it is, is entertaining. That's all we could ever expect of it.

|Public beheading in Saudi Arabia (file photo)
Abdulrahman Zine Elabidine "broke into a house strangling its owner to death while she was asleep."
He also raped her and stole 165,000 riyals ($44,000/33,000 euros) as well as gold jewellery, said the statement carried by state news agency SPA.
He then set the house on fire.
His beheading took to 20 the total number of executions in the conservative kingdom so far this year, according to an AFP tally based on official reports.
Under the AFP count, at least 76 people were beheaded in 2011, while rights group Amnesty International put the number of executions last year at 79.
The death penalty in Saudi Arabia applies strict Sharia (Islamic) law for a wide range of offences including rape, apostasy, armed robbery, homosexuality and drug trafficking, as well as murder.

Public beheading and "crucifixion" on scaffolding of a Sudanese convict in Saudi Arabia in the capital Riyadh, April 20th, 2012. Riyadh has one of the lowest crime rates in the world and the horrific nature of the man's crimes caused outrage in the kingdom. His execution was watched by thousands of citizens.

Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone has criticised manufacturers and teams for trying to influence how the sport is run.
DaimlerChrysler, Ford, BMW, Renault and Fiat have threatened to set up a rival championship if they are not given more control and a bigger slice of F1's revenue.
And the Williams and McLaren teams are taking legal action against the International Automobile Federation (FIA), the sport's governing body, claiming they should have been consulted over changes to the rules.
Ecclestone, however, indicated that he is unwilling to cede any ground in the struggle for power.
"The carmakers should not get involved in Formula One too much," said Ecclestone.
"Their executives are only interested in winning. If they don't, they lose interest at some stage."
The existing "Concorde Agreement" between the teams, Ecclestone and the FIA runs until the end of 2007.
And the five manufacturers have formed a company called GPWC with a view to forming a breakaway championship if their demands are not met.
Ecclestone also hit out at the teams for seeking more influence in decision-making.
"They are only concerned about what advantages they could have for the next race," he told German newspaper Sport Bild.
"They never think about the next season and they never think about the sport.
"The teams now want more democracy. In my opinion it cannot work.
"As far as Formula One goes, I believe in dictatorship."

Government to rake in Rs 25,000 cr through divestment
Last year it sold stakes in PSUs Oil India, NTPC, NHPC and REC.
New Delhi: Government earnings from selling stakes in public sector enterprises will be an estimated Rs 25,000 crore during the current fiscal. The divestment is targeted to rake in Rs 40,000 crore in the next fiscal.
"The government will raise about Rs 25,000 crore during the current year. Through this process, I propose to raise a higher amount during the year 2010-11," said Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in his budget speech on Wednesday.
According to the budget documents for 2010-11, "divestment proceeds have been estimated at Rs 40,000 crore through divestment of part of the government equity in various central public sector enterprises."
In 2009-10, the government has already, through public offers, sold stakes in Oil India, hydro power company NHPC, the country's largest power generator NTPC and Rural Electrification Corp; and the process is on for National Mineral Development Corp and Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam.
"The proceeds will be utilised to meet the capital expenditure requirements of social sector schemes for creating new assets," said Mukherjee.
"Listing of central public sector undertakings improves corporate governance, besides unlocking the value for all stakeholders," said Mukherjee.
"Market capitalisation of five companies which have been listed since October 2004 has increased by 3.8 times from the book value of Rs 78,841 crore to Rs 298,929 crore."

L.A.-based purveyor of 8-bit beat music, Groundislava, has released a new animated video for the instrumental "A Grass Day," which appears on his recent self-titled debut LP. To create the video, Groundislava enlisted the help of his father, Michael Patterson, who animated A-Ha's "Take On Me" and Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract" in the '80s.
The clip for "A Grass Day" chronicles the adventures of a dapper man in a coat and top hat, who is making his way through an illuminated space of spasmodic shapes and projections. There aren't any ill-meaning, monkey-wrench-wielding bikers to spoil the fun this time around, but the convulsive and visually appealing video serves as a good complement to the equally jerky but beautiful song.
Groundislava LP, which the artist himself describes as being full of "video game" and "sci-fi" sounds, is out now on Friends of Friends.
