An enzyme immunoassay (EIA) developed for the diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis was tested for its specificity and sensitivity in detecting IgG antibodies in patients at various stages of the disease. The EIA is based on a detergent extract ofBorrelia burgdorferi which contains 12 proteins of defined molecular weights fromBorrelia burgdorferi. The assay showed a specificity of 100 % in control sera from 64 healthy individuals, using a cut-off optical density value of 0.13 (\(\bar x \pm 3SD\)). The sensitivity was 100 % using sera from 22 Swedish patients with late stage Lyme borreliosis and 43 % using sera from 30 patients with the initial stage of the disease. The reactivity of the sera against whole cell preparations, the outer surface proteins OspA and OspB, and the flagella ofBorrelia burgdorferi was also tested and compared with the EIA. No cross-reactivity with treponemal antigens was observed when using the EIA.

Jameis Winston Was Issued A Citation… You'll Never Guess For What
In an episode of "things you just can't make up" today, we have former Heisman winner and Florida State baseball player Jameis Winston was hit with a citation yesterday (April 29).
He got hit with a citation for shoplifting…crab legs?
Here is the report from Tamahawk Nation.
"He got an adult civil citation," a trusted source inside Tallahasse Police told Tomahawk Nation. "If he completes the sanctions it will never show up on his record. They commonly give them to juveniles on first criminal offenses. They are now doing it for minor misdemeanors for adults to lower crime rate"
Didn't the NCAA give allow students to receive meals? Ahh wells just chalk it up to being young and doing dumb things.

The Prince William Cup was introduced in 2007, and is awarded to the winner of games between these two sides, as a celebration of 100 years of rugby between Wales and South Africa.
The Springboks may be counting themselves lucky that the quarter-final is at Twickenham and not Cardiff, as the Millennium Stadium is the only venue where the Welsh have managed to beat the Boks.

I've been looking for a nice portable miter saw stand for a while and I just received the Home Depot circular for this weekend. They have the Ridgid Miter Saw Utility Vehicle on sale for $99.

I have no relation to HD, just like to pass the savings on to others.
GOOD SCOOP i'd say
I bought one when they reduced the price from 199 to 149. This a bargin and works great!

Floating on Air
We've always been keen on parades, choosing our streetside seats early and drinking coffee while the world falls into place around us. We like intricate floats, marching bands, horses, and sitting next to strangers with excited children. So count us when the Yavapai Nation presents the 38th annual Fort McDowell Fiesta Bowl Parade. The theme is "Spirit of the Southwest," defined by more than 100 entries gliding the two-mile, Phoenician-packed route down Central Avenue from Minnezona to Montebello. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star Tony Stewart serves as grand marshal. David Henrie from the Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place is honorary grand marshal.

Author's note: This piece isn't meant to be some cry for attention or self-centered use of an outlet to tell my story through. Truth be told, I had a lot of trouble writing this, finding strength to tell my story and how soccer imprinted it. This is a testimony. A testimony to the meaning of sport, the weight of a derby, and how 90 minutes can change everything both at club and personal level. Many times in this country, soccer gets painted as a foreign construct; a imported product that seems to find trouble grabbing the American public and inspiring things at individual levels like baseball, basketball, and football can. Hopefully my story convinces people otherwise.
This story begins in my "lost" summer of 2015. My war on depression, which has been raging for at least half a decade now, was one that I began to lose, and lose handily. My grades had sunk further and further down the toilet, and that spring I had failed my first class ever. My relationship with my then-girlfriend had crumbled beyond recognition. To top it all off, an unknown illness had begun to ravage my body. Mind you, this was no flu or cold. My body was rendered weak beyond comprehension. The ability to process and hold down food had become an anomaly. My weight was dropping at a near exponential rate, and I could barely leave my couch. For all intents and purposes, I was dying, and I had not a clue in the world why.
Illness carries curious social effects with it. I hadn't divulged the extent of my problems to many people, so the world continued to pass me by. Day after day I sat, giving no product to the world around me. I took in the news, my friends musings, and the world. My Netflix queue diminished, vanished, and reappeared in a cycle of boredom and chronic lack of productivity. For a person such as my self, who lives and dies by keeping himself busy and social, the mental effect of being chained to my living room was almost as disastrous as the physical. I had a severe problem in finding purpose in a life that seemed to be the same plain vanilla everyday. There was one, glaring exception for me: my New York Cosmos.
Although I was physically hampered from performing my usual youthful antics in the 5 Points, there was a period where I was still able to get out and attend matches in person. These matches, no matter how few they were, were an immense form of emotional and physical therapy. Pain was not present, only a tether between my heart and that of the team on the pitch. I was enthralled like never before, and found in these matches feelings of togetherness and community that had been so devoid during my illness thus far. These matches were battles, even wars, much like the ones I was fighting inside myself at the time. However, this would not prepare me for what derby would bring to me.
The US Open Cup has an undeniable magic to it. A microcosm of American society, it gives every team in the country a shot at winning the Cup and advancing to the CONCACAF Champions League. It's a tournament of Davids v Goliaths, where a club that was merely bar team from the Midwest a few years prior can find itself playing the defending MLS Champions. It's this competition that brought the New York Cosmos and NYCFC together on a fateful Wednesday night in the middle of June. A club that snubbed MLS facing the team that took their spot. A bigger match than any in the Cosmos modern era.
My story of derby begins with one of my biggest regrets: I wasn't there. Derby was the beginning of a tough stretch of matches where I was physically unable to attend. So, there I sat, on the same couch that I had so many days beforehand. Truth be told, I have never been so emotionally invested in a match, and have never been since. I lived and died with every throw in, stressed every muscle in my body at shots on Jimmy Maurer's goal. The act of supporting the Cosmos in a derby was physically exhausting, mentally draining, and emotionally dreadful. Just like it should be.
The 2-0 scoreline resonated me on a deep, personal level. The fight in the game became a mirror image of the fight in my personal life. For whatever reason, it was being lost. A combination of bad breaks and domination had left one side succumbed to the weight of the moment, and the other riding high like they expected to be. However, something on this day seemed different, both internally and on the TV in front of me. I told myself that this wouldn't end this way. There's more to this story that all of this.
The rest of the game, as they say, is history. Back to back strikes from Leo Fernandes and Lucky Mkosana forced the game to extra time, and subsequently (with the help of a crossbar), penalties. Jimmy Maurer became a legend, and Hunter Gorksie gave Cosmos Country an image that they will never, ever forget. Truth be told, I wept like a child, but for more reasons than one.
For me, the triumph over NYCFC was a match that gave me so much more than pride in my club and confidence in the U.S. Open Cup. It gave me hope. Books are not defined by their covers, no matter what shape they're in. The first goalscorer of the night was a local boy, one enjoying a renaissance in his career on loan to a club that played miles from the college that he called home for four years. The second, a kid from Zimbabwe, carries himself with a spirit that makes managers and fans alike proud. Hard work, perseverance, and the belief that anything is possible; these are the qualities that the Cup brings out in teams, and these are the qualities that the Cosmos showed on this fateful night. This victory was a symbolic one for me. It gave me strength, it gave me hope, and it told me loudly and clearly that there are lights at the ends of tunnels. Although I was not there, my father caught Jimmy Maurer's glove from the match when it was gleefully launched into the stands by the keeper-turned-hero. That glove to this today stands proudly in my room today not only as a beautiful piece of club memorabilia, but a reminder. A reminder of where I've been, a reminder to always have fight left in your heart, and a reminder of what this club means to myself and the rest of Cosmos Country.
From that day, I fought on. I kept faith, and I kept hope. A month after derby, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Crohn's disease. I began a list of medications so deep I can barely mention them. I went into therapy. I dropped out of Fredonia and began to take classes at NCC in order to focus on myself a bit more. At every step of the way, I carried the feelings that derby instilled in me as I fought on. I'm proud to say that I'm doing much better than I was a year ago.
And yet, here we are, one year after that fateful day. The stakes are the same, but the narratives are completely different. City has the likes of Pirlo, Iraola, and Lampard available at their disposal. Penalty hero Hunter Gorskie has left, and Vinotino stars Juan Arango and Yohandry Orozco are part of a retooled Cosmos side that (at least by bookmakers odds) are the underdog. What to expect is anyone's guess, but I know that the club, much like myself, will have the memories of derbies past in mind. As the great author F. Scott Fitzgerald once famously wrote, "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

1) The Pies aren't as bad as we thought and that's upsetting
In the wash-up from the opening round one thing was abundantly clear: pre-season pessimism about Collingwood's prospects was entirely justified. Hammered by grand finalists Fremantle, they'd been shown the gulf between the top four sides and themselves. Dane Swan was under the pump and fingers were pointing in every direction after what looked like a very bad omen for the season ahead. Well, we were wrong. A gutsy win against Sydney, a narrow loss to Geelong and then a comfortable win against fellow finals aspirants Richmond (or maybe one time aspirants) have altered the course of their season and changed a few perceptions.
Brent Macaffer tagged Tigers' Trent Cotchin out of the game last week and will have his sights set on a North Melbourne scalp this week, most likely Brent Harvey or Daniel Wells, but the Roos are equally buoyant after similarly impressive showings in recent weeks. You can never trust North in the crunch moments of course, so the Pies still go into this one as slight favourites in what promises to be an intriguing clash between two sides gradually rediscovering their mojo. North have won two of their last their encounters against Collingwood, including one at the MCG last year, so they're not to be underestimated.
2) Sydney might sag even further
For all the endless gushing over Sydney's midfield in the last couple of years, there's no mistaking the fact that they approach this home game against Fremantle as rank underdogs. They've been appalling this year, only escaping the media blowtorch due to the more newsworthy struggles of certain major Melbourne clubs. The 13th-placed Swans enter this clash at 1-3 after a diabolical loss to North Melbourne last week. They've looked timid, slow and short on confidence, which is a bizarre position to be in when you've transplanted the swaggering Lance Franklin into your forward fifty.
Fremantle haven't even needed to sledge them. Instead their skipper Matthew Pavlich gave Melbourne a back-hander in describing Colin Sylvia's struggle to cope with the increased workload since crossing to the Dockers. Close to selection last week, Sylvia will miss the next two weeks after being suspended out of last weekend's WAFL round, but the Dockers themselves are far better placed after crushing Essendon at home last week to reestablish their credentials. In that context, it's actually a fixture that Ross Lyon's side will relish because the month ahead is a tricky one.
It feels very odd to confidently tip against this Sydney side at home (your Guardian experts had them in the top four only a month ago, so what do we know?). It's just impossible to see them reversing their slump against the military discipline of Lyon and co.
3) The inescapable smell of death – Volume 2
If you thought Carlton's game against Melbourne last week was gruesome, imagine the kind of torture porn that the Bulldogs might inflict on Carlton fans on Sunday afternoon. Is there a high enough decibel reading to accurately capture the talkback fury that will follow another loss here? Really, a change should be made to the fixture, allowing Carlton to play Brisbane at a neutral venue with fans following the pitchforks and fiery lanterns to navigate their way to the ground.
Though they'll be ruing the fact that they have to cop a wounded and thus (you'd really hope) motivated Carlton side, the Bulldogs should win this. Their trajectory has been steering ever-so-gently upwards since late in 2013 and even without taking into account Carlton's decline this season, the Dogs have had the wood over the Blues (can a dog have the wood over someone? Actually, best not to answer that) in recent years, winning three of the last four encounters between the sides. That itself says something about the delusion under which Carlton have operated in recent history.
The Blues are sorely lacking in key position players to help out Lachie Henderson so the Bulldogs won't feel the loss of Dale Morris and Jordan Roughead as badly as they might have against a half-decent side. With Jarrad Waite having flat-lined and the kids not coming on, you have to feel a bit sorry for Henderson. Mick Malthouse probably wishes he could play him at both ends. The Dogs are a lock in this one, right?
4) If you want to know what love is, love is Ken Hinkley
It's pretty hard not to have a coach-crush on Ken Hinkley. Doubly so because your club probably turned him down at some point when they still thought he was uncool and funny-looking. Now he's engaging and popular and talented and hot and damn it why can't we have him??? You've either got to stand outside his bedroom window with a boom box playing Foreigner's I Want to Know What Love Is or just appreciate the mood he's fostered at Port Adelaide from afar. On the latter, the restraining order expressly states that you must, so be cool about it.
I gotta take a little time, a little time to think Ken over… Err, sorry, where were we? Ah yes, Port Adelaide's trip to Patersons Stadium to play West Coast. Maybe if you were a bullish Power supporter, you tipped Port to be in third spot at this point, but not even the blindest optimist would have said that West Coast would be snapping at their heels in fourth. Port had the better of the Eagles in both of their clashes last season and will fancy a Patersons upset and will have closely studied the vulnerabilities the Eagles showed in the 75-point hiding at the hands of Geelong last week. The knives have been out for West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui this week, but his coach Adam Simpson says he'll retain his place.
5) Saving the best until last
If you're not at least a little bit excited about Monday's clash between first and second you haven't got a pulse. Given that those two sides are Hawthorn and Geelong, you've also got an excuse to spend some of the long weekend watching the 1989 grand final for the 874th time. Confected 'rivalry rounds' and absurd pre-match rev-up productions voiced by Craig Willis are not required for games like this because this rivalry is something visceral and bone-crunching and sweaty and real…
Sorry, the mere mention of Craig Willis makes me talk and write in his voice.
In the last five encounters between these sides, Geelong's round 15 win last year had the widest winning margin at 10 points. There is nothing that indicates this one will be anything other than an absorbing arm wrestle between two well-drilled sides. Both are undefeated for the year but the Cats will adopt a cautious approach to the troublesome hamstring of veteran defender Andrew Mackie, who might miss out. Coming off a nine-day break, if nothing else the Cats will be freshened up for the encounter. Premierships are certainly not won in April, but we'll have a slightly better idea of how the top two sides rank on Monday night.

Labor Day weekend is but a memory now, but for me, it is a good memory.
On our four-day weekend, Derek and I hit the road to Florida. I lived for a few years on the Atlantic Coast in North Carolina, but had never been to the white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.
With Hurricane Isaac looming, he and I oscillated between going and staying.
As the hurricane made landfall to the west, we realized we'd have better weather in Pensacola than East Tennessee.

Shift: Plan Put Into Action
When me, Mirage and Banshee arrived at my house...
"I called all of the remaining Thieves Guild members to my location, as the leader they have to follow my orders" Banshee sighed "I've known all of you so long, like a real family, and I'm not ready to lose you yet"
"And you won't Scarlett, your life is also at risk and now its our turn to repay the debt we owe you" I replied
"You don't owe me anything, i took care of you all from the goodness in my heart. Just because i turned you into Thieves, people looked down on me, you were poor and you needed the money. My plans where to give you a place to stay, help you get up on your feet so you could go out into the world alone"
"Yeah, your rich but nobody could of done that bank job without Phase to pull you outta there" Kane popped in "In all truth, your one of the lucky ones"
"If we need a new hideout, I have a large basement, which is also a lab, we could hide out in there" I explained
"Hmm, if it's a lab then we have all we could need, Omni needs a lab to conduct tests" said Banshee
"Sometimes, intelligence could just be a gift not a power"
"He joined on his own accord, I don't turn people away. Recently, he has been brainstorming a machine that can remove powers, permanently. Quite like the one you made, apart from, your machine couldn't do that forever. It was missing vital components, the effects would of wore off and the victims powers would of just simply returned"
"What about me when I had theirs?"
"They would of faded, given enough time, but you were defeated before they could"
"So this other one just takes it forever?"
"Yes, but we aren't evil thieves, we will take powers from those who abuse them. The power stored will then be destroyed so that it may never be returned"
Me, Banshee and Mirage talked about this for a few hours. One by one more members of the thieves guild showed up at my door, and I showed them all to the basement.
"What you think of this place Omni?" I asked
"This place, is sufficient" answered Omni "Thank you Shift, for giving me this opportunity. Bear in mind, this machine could take months or years to that matter"
Omni was the type of person who got to work straight away without order, and after a short tour of my lab he got right to work on his machine.
Shortly after everyone got acquainted, Banshee stood up and everyone was quiet.
"My children, I am happy to have you here, yet sad to have you here for a bad reason. We are being hunted, and one by one we are being killed. We have no knowledge of who is behind this"
Lightning stood up "Perhaps the government mistakes us for the weak supers, and wants to take us out first before the stronger ones"
"Or..." said Omni "They want to kill the friends and family of the strongest... Shift, to get his attention so they can take him down"
Everyone looked at Omni, knowing well that his guess was most likely the most accurate. I looked at the ground for a second before looking back up. "Most likely that is the reason, perhaps they have made some form of superhero assassins. Whatever is going on here, it needs to be stopped."
"The government wouldn't train assassins, perhaps this is a private contract signed by the government to some other... company or something" suggested Thunder
"Yeah, even though the government want the people to side with them, if they were behind it, I'm guessing they'd be bragging it about now" cut in Venom
"I could go and spy on the government, see if they talk about it" suggested Mirage
"But what if they catch you?" exclaimed Banshee
"That will be my problem, not yours. In the mean time, everyone should stay here, where it is most likely safe. And if you are going to leave, at least take someone with you"
I showed Mirage out, he shook my hand and smiled "If I don't come back, look after Scarlett for me will ya?"
"She's like a mother to me, I won't just turn her away"
"Good" Mirage then turned into a falcon and flew into the horizon.

text: Posted December 1, 2007 So I have now lived in the North East metro for about 7 years. There is a small body of water about 6 blocks from my house which is connected by a channel to a public body water. To access during the winter you would need to be one of the home owners or risk running the channel with 4x4 or sled to on this back water pond/lake. Anyway every single year since I have lived here a guy puts up one single little perm in the exact same spot. For all I know it is used for a warming shack to ice skate, get away from the wife, drink beer, play cards, or what have you. That being said there also is the possibility this is a good ice fishing spot. I was driving home this morning and to my delight and somewhat surprise the perm shack was out on the frozen little pond like a beacon in the night. My delimma is do I once for all make quest out there and see if this is a winter fishing paradise or might it simply be best to continue to leave this to my imagination and the mystery and wonderment of simply what if....

They already had found the body of her mother Mrs. L. A. Trow, 80, in a shallow grave. Mrs. Knox was held in protective custody at Plymouth county hospital, pending completion of the search and investigation of stories told Sheriff Frank Scholer by her neighbors. Her mental condition is such, Scholer said, that she cannot be questioned detailedly at present. He said she had admitted cashing several $90 monthly checks her mother had received from the government as a widow of a Civil war veteran. She also admitted that she had brought another woman into her home to impersonate her mother to quiet the suspicions of neighbors. Scholer's deputies unearthed the mother's body late Saturday after they had started investigation of rumors which had spread through the community concerning "bodies in the Knox rock garden.'' They found the body in a coffin which had been crudely fashioned from parts of a kitchen cabinet. It was in a grave a foot deep in a corner of the garden. The garden is a large one and the search will take some titme, Scholer said. Dr. A. C. Starry, state pathologist, said he found a crack in Mrs. Trow's skull but was unable to say whether it had been the cause of death. Scholer ordered the garden searched completely last night after Mrs. Knox, unaware that the body had been found, had told him: "When you start digging, be sure that you get mother's body." He said it was for the body of the mysterious elderly woman whom neighbors had seen at the Knox home, that he and his deputies were searching. Scholer said he was concerned over the whereabouts of Mrs. Knox's husband, a former Le Mars mail carrier, who had been missing since Mrs. Trow died. .LEADING TO HEBREW PANIC Jew Decrees Cause Nazi Stock Dive German Press [ Sadler Gift Added to Band Fund— I New Measure ♦ Attacks Draw ^ British Protest Feeling Runs High, Halting Negotiation Aiming at Peace 9 LONDON.

Nov. 14.—(UP) — The stock market slumped sharply today as leaders of Germany's 700,000 Jews frantically sought to satisfy increasing Nazi demands designed to eliminate their participation in German life. Many stocks dropped three, four or more points, largely because of sales by panic-stricken Jewish leaders who sought funds to repair damages—as ordered by the government-done in anti-semitic rioting and to pay the $400,600,000 mass fine ordered by the Nazis as a penalty for the murder of a German diplomat in Paris. BANKERS TRY TO STEM TIDE It was reported from Hamburg that a prominent Jewish banker, Fritz Warburg, had been arrested Aryans added to the financial slump by seeking quick funds to take over businesses of prominent Jews who organized to finance the repairs and the fine. There were almost no buying orders, indicating that business leaders generally looked unfavorably on the possible economic consequences of the government's sweeping new anti-Jew-Ish laws and further restrictions which have been promised. Nazis made a quick effort to limit , the slump when the Reich private bankers organization instructed members not to accept orders from Jews for sale of securities and not to lower their price limits for orders from Jews. Foreign financial circles believed thp government would use the annual October census in which Germans stated the amount of their property as the basis for collecting the $400,600,000 mass fine. Some foreign experts estimated that the Jews in Germany since Thursday had lost almost a quarter of their $3,200,000,000 wealth, apart from the $400,600,000 fine imposed on them and repairs ordered by the government totalling close to $500,000,000. Jews must pay for the repair of damage done by nazis. Thus the total cost to Jews was estimated roughly at 3.000,000,000 marks. < $1,200,000,000) in the last week—with more costs indicated for the future. School Ban Goes In Force at Once BERLIN, NOV. 14 — TV)—Minister of Education Bernhard Rust today expelled Jewish students from all universities, technical schools and other institutions of higher learning in the latest move toward separation of Jews and Germans. The minister of education telegraphed the rectors of all universities ordering them to oust Jewish students immediately and not to permit any more to enter even for lectures which do not Involve examination for degrees. He said a decree embodying that order was being prepared and would be issued soon. This means final elimination of Jews of all ages from the German school system. Lower grade pupils from six to 14 years old were taken from German schools in 1936 and put into Jewish private schools. Jewish professors previously had been ousted.

French Onion Soup 2.0
Onion soups have been popular since at least as far back as the Roman times. These soups were typically seen as food for poor people, as onions were plentiful and easy to grow. The modern version of this soup–with croutons and cheese on top–originates in France during the 18th century, but underwent a resurgence in the United States in the 1960s due to increasing interest in French cuisine.
Cook like a French Chef
But while this popular dish is rooted in French tradition, you don't have to be a French chef to pull it off successfully. And with the absolutely amazing Walla Walla sweet onions that have been arriving in Full Circle deliveries over the past few weeks, you only need a few additional ingredients.
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 4 cups organic Walla Walla onion, thinly sliced vertically
- 4 cups organic red onion, thinly sliced vertically
- Splash of Worcestershire
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 8 cups beef broth
- 1/4 tsp fresh organic thyme, chopped
- 8 slices French bread
- 8 slices all-natural Swiss cheese
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until tender.
- Stir in the sugar, pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté for 5 more minutes or until the onion is golden brown. Stir in the wine and Worcestershire, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the broth and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat broiler.
- Place the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil 2 minutes or until toasted, turning after 1 minute.
- Place 8 ovenproof bowls on a sheet pan.
- Ladle 1 cup of soup into each bowl. Top each serving with 1 slice of bread and 1 cheese slice.
- Broil 3 minutes or until cheese begins to brown.

Hi Folks
I love onion soup. My favorite is to fill the crock pot with onions, dot it with butter and let it go for 12 hours. Then add beef stock. Serve in individual bowls with a slice of bagget and cheese.

BBC Review
Guillemots - Hello Land! Review
Wyndham Wallace
Another lesson in modest brilliance from the former Brit and Mercury nominees.
They creep up on you, Guillemots, as the best music so often does. Theres no boasting, there are few brash novelties unless you count their plan to release four albums in one year, of which this is the first, a record released without any word of warning and, if theyve been slung out of Soho bars late at night, the news has never made the headlines. Their music, however, is full of a sophisticated charm that sidles quietly into ones heart before quietly whispering that its arrived. Thats the music that often stays the longest.
Hello Land! was recorded at an undisclosed mountain hideaway in Norway, and the environment seems to have lent these eight songs a genuine pastoral calm. Thats especially apparent on Outside, which begins with the sound of feet trampling the show, and the nine-minute Byebyeland, an instrumental that might be considered shoegaze it if werent perpetually staring at the stars.
Nothing here lacks the ambition and arrangements that have characterised the bands career to date. Founder Fyfe Dangerfields classical training continues to flourish: the album wafts in on reverb-drenched guitars and gentle breezes of flute (courtesy of the Norwegian Flute Ensemble) before Up On the Ride gets underway, Dangerfields restrained falsetto floating atop intricate instrumentation ready to warm those longing for Radiohead to return to the heartfelt sentiment of The Bends. It doesnt take long, however, for the track to transform into the kind of joyous indie pop perfected by The Magic Numbers, and a similar trick is undertaken on Fleet, which evolves from its sparse, pastoral introduction into a white soul tune, complete with funk guitars. Imagine something The Blue Nile might have recorded had they not been so despondent.
Nothings Going to Bring Me Down could also merit a Blue Nile comparison, its sincerity unquestionable, Dangerfields voice imbued with the same sense of comforting, youre-not-alone longing as Paul Buchanans. Southern Winds, though, is more reminiscent of David Crosbys early solo work, or even Simon & Garfunkel, its acoustic guitar nestling amid flutes and the incongruous pop and crackle of vinyl. Its this sense of the unexpected that makes Guillemots such a treasure: they dont beg for attention. They simply deserve it.

Guillemots - Hello Land!
4 stars
by John Murphy
A change is as good as a rest, so they say. Guillemots have obviously embraced this ethos full-scale, as, just over a year since their last album Walk The River, it's all change for the exotically named quartet.
Something had to be done to revitalise the band. Walk The River was, in truth, a mediocre effort and nowhere near the quality of their sparklingly inventive debut. And while their live shows remained as joyous as ever, the impression remained of a band on their last legs.
The solution? A split with the old record company, a relocation to Norway, and an ambitious plan to release four album during 2012, each coinciding with the seasons. The first, Hello Land!, has taken everyone by surprise, suddenly released online with absolutely no prior fanfare, and sees the band return to their experimental origins.
At only 8 tracks long, with a couple of instrumentals and an average song lasting nearly 6 minutes, it's clear that the band have found a new freedom in not being pressurised to write a hit single. Not that this is the Guillemots' Metal Machine Music - any track here could fit snugly onto a radio playlist - but there's a calmness and assured presence on Hello Land that hasn't really been there since Through The Windowpane.
Spring Bells is an almost ambient instrumental to welcome you in, before things take a pleasantly odd turn with Up On The Ride. It's pretty much, to coin a phrase, a song of two halves: Fyfe Dangerfield helms the first few minutes with a beautifully fragile vocal, before a mid-section of what sounds like a self-help tape rambling on, and then a gorgeous Phil Spector-like coda sung by Aristazabal Hawkes of "stay with me baby".
Surprises abound. The longest track here, Byebyeland, pulls off the tricky effect of sounding utterly calming while cramming an awful lot into its nine minutes. It's effectively an instrumental, but with all manner of odd effects and Dangerfield and Hawkes' ethereal, wordless vocals, the effect is spine-tingling.
Of the more conventional songs, Nothing's Going To Bring Me Down is a particular highlight, with lyrics like "I couldn't get much lower anyway" hinting at troubles underneath the seemingly calm surface. The pastoral Summer Wind and the deceptively funky Fleet are probably the most old-school Guillemots here, although no tracks on Hello Land are likely to scare off the casual fan.
It's an intriguing experiment, and a largely successful one at that. By the time that the dramatic orchestration on the closing I Lie Down has faded away, you're already eagerly marking the days on the calendar off until the next instalment in Guillemots' new adventure.
The multinational Guillemots (sometimes written gUiLLeMoTs), comprised of English singer and classically trained pianist Fyfe Dangerfield, Brazilian guitarist MC Lord Magrao, Scottish percussionist Greig Stewart (aka Rican Caol), and Canadian double bassist Aristazabal Hawkes, use their eclectic influences and personal styles to create a catchy pop sound and an energetic live show that have won them many fans in their British home base. Their first album, Through the Windowpane, was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Music Prize. Their second album, Red, reached number 9 in the UK Albums Chart in the same month. After touring all through 2008 and Fyfe releasing a solo record the band finished their third record Walk the River released on April 18, 2011.
Hello Land! is the first of four albums that they will release over the course of the year in association with The state51 Conspiracy. The album was recorded in Norway and produced by Jonas Raab.

I slowly walked to the nurse's office, holding the hallway pass, an old piece of wood with the word "Pass" and our homeroom number "102," carved into it. The hallway was hushed and chilly. I knocked on the school nurse's door. "Come in," she said. She offered me a seat. "I'm not feeling well." I said. She pulled a form from her draw then asked me a series of questions. "Did you eat breakfast this morning?" "No." "Did you eat anything last night that might have upset your stomach?" "No." "What do you think is wrong?" "I think I'm pregnant." I lied. I had never had sex. But I liked talking to her. The only time anyone gave me attention was when I was misbehaving. So I misbehaved a lot. I was thirteen. So she asked me what I understood about the birds and the bees. After which she said, "I'm going to have to call your mother." This was going too far, I thought. But I couldn't tell the nurse I was lying. She might not want to talk to me anymore. I was worried as I walked home. It was the one time I wished my mother wasn't home. My mother opened the door. She said, "I'm gonna take you to the hospital to get a pregnancy test." That was all she said. She didn't even ask me who I had had sex with. The next day we sat in the hospital waiting room. My mother still hadn't talked to me. The doctor called my name, "Talia Wright." I went into the exam room by myself. My mother stayed in the waiting area. The doctor talked with me. I answered all his questions. I was in a daze. I didn't understand why my mother didn't care.

Newt was carried into area 50 on a stretcher. She was still bleeding. It shouldn't much of a surprise that she was unconscious.
At least she was alive.
I wanted to watch her battle, but it was interrupted by another battle. A more "important" battle. And of course, I had dinner duty that night, so I couldn't go to the arena. As she was deposited unceremoniously on the floor, the spoon in my hand fell to the floor with a clatter.
The guards turned to leave, but I ran after them and shouted,
"Hey! Doesn't she get any healing injections? Look at her! She's hurt!"
"She has been examined, and has shown no life threatening injuries."
"No life threatening injuries?! I'll give you life threatening injuries!" And I shot a bolt of lightning at one of the guards. It was shot out of the sliding door, and the second one soon followed his companion as I used my telekinesis to shove him backwards and lock the doors behind them.
I ran to Newt and started to pick her up but hesitated. Was that weird? I mean... she was unconscious and stuff and I was just helping but... no. I stood back up and used my telekinesis to lift Newt and bring her to room.
I watched her as she lay on her bed. She looked so... small. I mean, I was about a foot taller than her, but it was more than that. A vulnerability that I felt obligated to defend.
Not that you could really defend her against much. You can barely lift 100 lbs.
I scowled. A week ago, that may have been true, but now... the serums had boosted me slightly. And I had power. Power that wasn't controlled by how much you could bench...
But by how much you cared.
Newt stirred and I leaned back in my chair, suddenly aware of how close I was. She opened her eyes and sort of looked at me. I couldn't hold her gaze long, such was my interaction with girls. So I coughed, stood, and started to leave. I stopped at the doorway and looked back over my shoulder,
"You ok?"
"Yes... thanks."
"Right... um. No problem." I flashed her a smile that I'm sure looked incredibly stupid, and I excused myself to the kitchen.
Where dinner had been burning for the last 30 minutes.
"Ah crap" I said and started taking things off the stove and throwing them away. I went to the food replicator and punched in what I was supposed to have made. As the food appeared I set the food on the table. No on would know the difference.
For once, it seemed like everyone in our area was present for a meal. We all sat around the large table eating and saying little. After non-stop fights for the past few days, no one was really too thrilled.
Except for Tiamone.
"Well I checked our standing today. You guys aren't going to believe it! We are number 23! You know what that means?"
No one answered.
"Since we are in the top 50%" Tiamone said with a flourish, "We are eligible for duo battles!"
"Only duo battles?" asked Shard, "I can't really think of anyone in here that I'd prefer to fight with over going solo."
Apex was unsuccessfully trying to ignore Shard's comments. The two of them were always at odds. Tensions were getting high... if nothing happened to calm them, something bad was going to happen.
"No. You will still have an occasional solo battle, but they won't be as frequent. Our next week is a busy one. Apex, you have a duo battle on monday. Vis-"
"Who is my partner?" interrupted Apex.
Tiamone enjoyed other's misery, but even he hesitated before announcing,
The two of them swore explosively and began shouting at the same time,
A high pitched scream tore through my head and for a moment, I thought my brain would explode. Apex and Shard had frozen, along with everyone else at the table.
"Jeez! We don't need to fight other areas if you two are going to act like children!" communicated Newt, signing furiously. "Pull it together or something!"
Shard straightened up and walked away from the table. A moment later, the doors to the training opened and closed. Apex sank slowly back into his chair.
"I'm sorry" he said. "But I wouldn't mind if he had a very unfortunate accident."
I was reminded of my parents for a brief instant, but then Tiamone cleared his throat.
"Well, now that Shard is gone and the testosterone level has dropped by about 33%... no offense Visp," he said with a snicker "I'll continue with the sched-"
"You say something like that again, and you'll gain a new a power" Apex uttered quietly.
"What power might that be?" Tiamone said with a roll of his eyes.
"The power to stain multiple walls at once."
The color in Tiamone's face faded along with the snide look on his face.
"And by the way, the food is delicious Visp. Did you make that yourself?"
I looked at my feet, which had suddenly become very interesting and waited for Tiamone to continue.
"Uhh... R-right. Schedule. Apex and Shard have a battle tomorrow, Visp and I have a duo battle the following day. That's about it."
And with that, Tiamone slunk to his room. The rest of us cleared up the dishes and found separate ways to amuse ourselves. Apex crashed on the couch and sat there for a moment. Newt started to join him, but he flicked the T.V. on to watch a fight, and she hesitated before scampering off to her room.
I wanted to to think about a few things, so I too decided to lock myself in my dorm and enjoy some quiet.
I had my check up this morning. The doctors said things were all fine, and that my synchronization was proceeding on schedule. But that wasn't what brought me back to that point in time. What caught my attention was that girl.
"Apex Runiake?"
Apex sighed and stood, letting the nurse know who he was. He disappeared into the exam room leaving me and... Lorrie? Yeah. Lorrie.
"How long have you known him?" I asked.
"We're from the slum, that's where I met him. The bullies would always pick on little kids and he'd defend them. Of course, he was often beaten."
"So you followed him around, why?"
"Well, he never told me to go away."
I nodded. "Area 34 huh?"
"Yeah, maybe it was the greatest mistake ever, to let this girl from 34, Sapphire, to let her have me transferred."
"You could do that? What area were you previously from?"
"Area 50."
"You were supposed to be in our area?!?"
"No I was-... wait... you're from 50?"
"Yeah... me and Apex."
"And that's it? Where is the rest of your area?"
"One of members already had his check up, one flat out refused to come, and the other... I'm not too sure what she is doing."
"Oh ok... So... Visp. I saw your fight. It was a pretty close match. The fire breath thing was pretty... unexpected."
"Yeah. Well I didn't figure out my third power until that moment."
"What? Didn't you choose it?"
I looked down at my feet embarrassed. "No... I couldn't decide, so the nurse picked. And no one, not even the computer, knew what it did."
"Really? It looked like fire-breath to me."
"It's not... well... it's not just fire-breath. I haven't really quite figured out all it can do. But I think I can inhale just about anything and not get harmed by it... and then breathe it back out. The guy used a poisonous combustible gas that I was to set on fire... that's how I kille-... how I won. I think it also increase my lung capacity."
"Wow... that's... weird."
"Yeah. So let's see... you have Phasing, Psychic navigation, and Enhanced Regeneration right?"
"Ok... Apex and I caught one of your fights. That's how he found out you were here. Pretty risky move, trying to leave the arena."
"Yeah... well what was weirder was when I hit I got a sort of-"
She stopped and looked away.
"Got a sort of... what?"
Newt came around the corner just as Apex walked out of the exam room.
Great timing.
"Newt, thought you weren't going to turn up"
She shrugged.
"This is Lorrie" Apex said as he took a seat next to Lorrie."Lorrie this is Newt"
Apex leaned towards Lorrie, "She's mute but she talks through telepathy"
"Do you know each other?" projected Newt, with a few jerky hand motions. The way her hands moved, it seemed like she was a little upset by something.
"We knew each other as kids" answered Lorrie.
The nurse appeared at the door, "Visp?"
All I could think about during my check up was what she had been about to say. After about 15 minutes, I was released and I rushed out to see if Lorrie was still there. She was, and so was Newt.
Newt made her way to the exam room, and I sat down with Lorrie and Apex who were talking about the past. I didn't want to interrupt, so I waited until they were both silent.
I was on the verge of speaking when,
"Lorrie Lockhart?"
Darn it.
Tiamone's shout ripped me back to the present. I blinked and shook my head a few times, while I waited for my focus to return. Then I threw open the door and slid into the common room.
"What's wrong? Why did you shout?"
Tiamone looked up from the computer,
"We're getting another transfer" he spat.
"What's so bad about that?"
"Well, she was transferred because she hurt the rank of Area 34, one of the top Areas in the compound. So Superpowers Inc. is giving her to us. And they're being kind enough, as to transfer her negative rating with her, effectively bumping us to 25th."
"Well we're still able to do duo battles right?"
"So what does it matter?"
Tiamone looked at me in disgust, shook his head, and walked away. I looked at the screen and saw the memo.
Transfer from area 34 to area 50.
Wait a minute... area 34? Why was that so familiar?
I heard the foyer doors slide open, and a familiar voice rang out
"Anybody home? I'm the new transfer... Lorrie."
