How the hell am I supposed to live now?
Forever? More like never! Forget all our vows.
Forget looks, forget the stares.
Forget my hands running through your hair.
Forget the butterfly kisses at night.
Forget the way I hold you tight.
I'll wish every damn kiss we had away,
I don't want them to haunt me, I'd rather they strayed.
I fucking hate the way you look at me now,
I can't see any shine in your eyes,
not even a spark.
I feel like you've thrown me into the dark.
Forget the love, lets just rearrange.
Remember the time we got pretend engaged?
You said "one day I'll marry you."
Bullshit. It was far too good to be true.
You see me now as peice of meat,
go on! Have a piece of my flesh!
It's not like you haven't already ate my heart,
It's like you pulled my worlds order apart!
Nothing is right anymore, not a damn thing.
I hate the fact that I gave back the ring.
I'll forget the wedding bells I heard in my head,
or losing my innocence on my spouse's bed.
You stole my light and my purity.
But ofcourse you never did care,
"I'll take what I can get from that slut".
For someone who loved me you don't know that much.
My life is getting darker, day by day.
Where the hell is my God in this mess,
I know he's got me through all of the stress.
I pray every damn night to not be alone.
But most of all I pray for you to come home.
I cry out to my Lord for this life to pass by.
But I think of your face with each tear that I cry.
I can't bear this any longer. You are what I lack.
So God, If your listening, can I please have him back?

Ebisawa HitomiMature
Translucent smoke wafted from the smouldering tip of her cigarette, tracing lazy curves in the air. As they slowly expanded and eventually evaporated above her head she felt a call to chase them, chase their pirouetting forms down, down. But she knew it would come to nothing: the dragon's smoke is not from tobacco.
She looked up from the table, brown eyes half closed by lids heavy from tiredness, from boredom, from depression, from the habit, from whatever excuse worked best at the time.
And who was to judge which excuse worked best but Hitomi herself?
Yes, that would be Ebisawa Hitomi, the shell of a pop idol whose fame was now locked away in jewel cases and jukeboxes. She had had a different name back then, something upbeat, catchy, and inspired by the kawaii-culture of the time.
But life wasn't the sugar-coated pop song she once sang, that one-hit wonder scant years ago. Then again, sugar wasn't what she was craving.
The tip of the cigarette glowed brightly as she inhaled, her eyes fluttered closed.
But they quickly reopened, wide as she could pry them, as a singular sound amid the din of the dark café assaulted her senses.
It was her song.
Hitomi looked around the small café, hoping someone would recognize her as the singer on the radio. Even in the soft light they must know her face, right? True, she wasn't the young and energetic girl who peered, smiling, from glossy magazine covers for the short stretch of national fame, but she couldn't have changed that much. Could she?
No-one seemed to notice.
Her shoulders slumped, her eyes closed once more, and she took another drag of her cigarette. Clasping it delicately between two nail-painted fingers she removed it from her mouth, the barest tinge of rouge where her lips had met it. With that she began to hum.
She pictured herself on stage, hair tied back in dark ponytails, costume cut short to flaunt and tease. It brought a smile to her lipsticked lips.
That smile, though, soon became a frown. She couldn't hit that last note, couldn't stretch her voice enough to reach it. She merely croaked.
And then she cried.
And still no-one seemed to notice.
She sat like this at the booth, head in her hands, sobbing, forgotten cigarette spilling ashes onto her shoulder as it burned.
"Gomen, okyaku-sama." Excuse me, ma'am. One of the waitresses had stopped at Hitomi's table.
The former singer looked up as the girl spoke to her, hoping that she had found a solitary fan. She managed to elicit a single "Hai?"
"You have a message from a man in another booth," she said, producing a simple square envelope.
"Who?" Hitomi replied, bringing the cigarette back to her lips. Did it really matter, though? Fan mail is fan mail no matter who penned it, and even a nasty letter would be a welcome reminder that she was still remembered.
"In the booth behind me." She took a step sideways so that Hitomi could see past her, into the booth beyond.
"There's no-one there."
"Oh?" The waitress replied. Stealing a quick glance to the empty booth she continued, "He must have left already."
With that, the waitress turned and left, leaving Hitomi alone with the envelope. She opened the triangular flap at the top and withdrew the plain paper, creases pressed smooth where it had been folded. It rustled softly as she made it blossom in her hands.
Would you like to play a game?

Kill these people and we can restore your stardom, and bring you what you truly crave. Keep listening for the proof.
Her song was still playing, or was it replaying? Hitomi took another glance at the note, reading it through. At the end was scribbled a few chords, written in a mimicry of her own shorthand.
A chill shot through her spine.
As the song – her song – reached the chorus she knew what the chords were for: they were for her. She followed them along faithfully, her humming harmonizing with her recorded-self's melody.
She reached the point she had faltered before, that point she had failed to hit the climactic note. The chord on the note was a drop down, though, something she knew she could manage.
And she did.
The chill became a rush, and her giddiness caused laughter to erupt from her lungs. She snubbed the butt of her spent cigarette in the ashtray, the last tendrils of smoke floating lazily in the air. A second fit of laughter caused her to collapse in her booth, leaving her lying across the old cushions that were chic back when she was still singing.
For once, the café patrons noticed, but for once Hitomi didn't care. Lying in the booth, staring at the ceiling, she couldn't see the stares they stole. Cackling with manic laughter she couldn't hear their hushed voices whispering. She could see only the words of the note, and hear only her triumphant chord.
We can restore your stardom, and bring you what you truly crave.
With her confidence back, Ebisawa Hitomi felt ready to wrestle with dragons.
But first, she'd have to chase one.

Feller, K. Itô, and H. P. McKean, among others. In this book, Itô discussed a case of a general Markov process with state space S and a specified point a ∈ S called a boundary. The problem is to obtain all possible recurrent extensions of a given minimal process (i.e., the process on S \ {a} which is absorbed on reaching the boundary a). The study in this lecture is restricted to a simpler case of the boundary a being a discontinuous entrance point, leaving a more general case of a continuous entrance point to future works.

German artists' modern work at IU Art Museum for Jazz in July series
By Sarah Boyum
"Baumeister in Print," a new installation featuring three of Baumeister's prints, will be exhibited at the IU Art Museum's Gallery of Art of the Western World until Sept. 9.
The Baumeister prints were chosen specifically for the "Jazz in July" series.
Nan Brewer, curator for works on paper at the museum, chose artwork with a musical theme that could also serve as a poster image for the series.
Baumeister's "Allegro" print is featured on posters for the Jazz in July series.
Considered a leading teacher and artist in German Modernism and Abstractionism, Baumeister taught at the Städel School in Frankfurt and at the Stuttgart Academy of Art.
Baumeister used abstraction in his work, and also collected ancient, non-Western artifacts that reflected a primitive feel in some of his artwork, according to Brewer's article in the art museum's calendar, "Willi Baumeister's Pictorial Perfomance."
Baumeister's artistic interests and style continued throughout his life. The current exhibit showcases Baumeister's use of silkscreen, a printmaking technique he used to reproduce oil paintings he previously created.
The silkscreen method involves the use of a fine mesh screen. The artist will block out certain areas of the screen and allow ink to go through the unblocked
This process can be repeated multiple times on one print to create a layering effect of different shapes and ink colors.
This particular installation features a print from the mid-1930s, called "The Painter (Del Maler)," that reflects the influence of artist and friend Oskar Schlemmer. The different abstract forms created by the lines show a figure painting.
"Amenophis," which is also on display, is a large color print from 1950 that demonstrates the primitive side of Baumeister's work. Brewer described this style as "modernist cave painting." Baumeister used a silkscreen method to create the different textures and shapes in the print.
The third print on display, "Allegro," also uses the silkscreen method. This print is musical in nature because the figure created by the lines appears to be playing a musical instrument, Brewer said.. The use of the silkscreen method in this piece creates a more "rough and ready" organic line that differs from the mechanical, hard-edged line of pop art, also created through silkscreen.
Brewer chose Baumeister's prints for display because they are good representative works of one of the leading figures of an artistic movement. Brewer also wanted to introduce people to the unknown artist.
"I'm hoping to bring this lesser-known artist back into people's consciousness and imagination," she said.
The museum will keep its first floor gallery open 5:30 to 9 p.m. during the Jazz in July events.
Anita DeCastro, manager of events at the museum, said the extra half hour the gallery is open after the concerts end will give audience members a chance to view the
Baumeister prints without missing the jazz concert.
DeCastro hopes the Jazz in July events make people more aware of the galleries, gift shop, and everything else the museum has to offer.
"Music is an attraction, something fun people can experience at the museum while viewing the collections," DeCastro said.

Hunter Estuary Wetlands
The Hunter Estuary Wetlands comprise a group of associated wetlands at and near the mouth of the Hunter River in the city of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. Some 30 km2 of the wetlands has been recognised as being of international importance by designation under the Ramsar Convention. It was listed on 21 February 1984 as Ramsar site 287. A larger area of the wetlands has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA). The wetlands are recognised as the most important area in New South Wales for waders, or shorebirds.[1]
Ramsar site[edit]
The Ramsar site comprises the Kooragang Nature Reserve and the nearby Shortland Wetlands, which are connected by a wildlife corridor that includes the Hunter River and Ironbark Creek. Kooragang Island is an artificial, estuarine island liable to flooding at high tide. Its habitats include mangroves, brackish and freshwater swamps, saltmarsh, Casuarina forest, mudflats, beaches and rock walls. The site is important for migratory waders and the mangroves are important for fish. Surrounding areas are used for livestock grazing and heavy industry.[2]
Shortland is a small (45 ha) complex of various wetland types that was added to the Ramsar site in 2002. It contains Melaleuca swamp forest, freshwater reed marsh, and a mangrove-lined creek, surrounded by urban development. The previously degraded wetlands have been restored through the establishment of the Shortland Wetlands Centre (now the Hunter Wetlands Centre Australia) in 1984.[2]
Important Bird Area[edit]
The 85 km2 IBA includes, as well as the Ramsar-listed areas, the Hexham Swamp, Pambalong and Newcastle Wetlands Nature Reserves.[1] It was identified as an IBA because the swamps and the estuary support the endangered Australasian bittern and over 1% of the world populations of chestnut teal, straw-necked ibis, red-necked avocet, eastern curlew, sharp-tailed sandpiper and sometimes Latham's snipe.[3]

Improve Usability of Your Website
No matter how glorious your web site design is, if it is hard to reach the article of your site then your site is as useful as an empty shell. Here are some tips to improve the usability of your website to ensure it serves its functions optimally.
The first technique is to make sure the typography of your content is suitable. If you have large blocks of text, make sure to use CSS to space out the lines accordingly. The longer a single line of text is, the greater the line-height of each line should be. Also, make sure the font size of your text is big enough to read easily. Some sites have 10-pixel-tall text in Verdana font; while that may look groovy and neaten, you have to really pains your eyes to read the real text.
Make it easy for visitors to find article that they want on your site. If you have thousands of articles on your site and a certain visitor wants to find one single article from that pile, you have to provide a feasible means to enable visitors to do that without hassle. Be it an SQL-driven database search engine or just a glossary or index of articles that you have, providing such a feature will make sure your visitors can use your site with ease.
Ensure that your site loads fast if you do not want to lose visitors. Most internet users will leave a website if it doesn't load completely within 15 seconds, so make sure the crčme de la crčme of your website is delivered to the visitors as soon as possible to retain their attention.
Last of all, test each and every link on your site before it goes online. There is nothing more effective in tarnishing your professional image than broken links, so be very careful about that.

To Have, And To Hold
Dru sat at the dressing table wrapped in a towel. While the shower hadn't exactly qualified as hot, it had been enough to sooth away the aches and bruises, while the sting of soap in her cuts gave a reminder that she was still alive and fighting was worthwhile.
As she looked over the products on the dressing table, Dru had to admit, someone had been busy. All the make-up was the same as those she used back home, and the medications provided had been spot on. Even a cup of black tea and a small bowl of grapes had appeared while she had been showering. It did, however, leave a worrying question: Did her creations know her as well as she did them?
As she applied foundation, Dru tried to put that though out of her mind - surely if that was the case Sonasoda would have figured out a while back she had been lying to him, and he would have taken action. No, there had to be some better explanation. Her blog, for example, would have provided vial clues about her preferences and allergies. She knew for sure there was a post somewhere recording her swap from the purple to the turquoise inhaler. She finished applying mascara. Yeah, that had to be it.
Dru studied her reflection. The concealer did it's job well, her complexion was as flawless as ever. Her eyes were still a touch puffy, though she noticed they had darkened from her usual light blue-green to a stormy blue. Dru ran a hand through her hair and reached for the brush. It was silly, but she hoped her faded auburn locks wouldn't clash with the dress. She held her head up. It was amazing what a shower and a cup of tea did for a person; she may be a prisoner, expected to pretty herself up for a lunatic, but there was no reason she couldn't go about it with care and decorum. Dru grinned to herself - her nation would be proud.
Her hair combed through, Dru turned her attentions to the dress. She knew it would fit her - she and the fictional Asuka were deliberately the same size. After pulling on the undergarments, and dress, Dru checked herself over in the mirror one last time. She'd pulled her still damp hair into a bun, fixed with a matching fascinator (Dru idly wondered if whomever had provided it knew it was lethal), and as she turned this way and that, Dru was surprised to see she still looked pretty damn good despite everything.
"I guess a little bit of make-up goes a long way," she murmured to herself. Dru flicked her gaze at the clock. At some point she would need to knock on the door and tell them she was ready, else they'd just barge in and drag her out regardless. She took a breath. Far better to leave under her own steam.
"Dignity, decorum, and a stiff upper lip," Dru muttered through clenched teeth as she walked towards the door.

joyceg99 Review
I had been looking for a new slipcover for the sofa in my family room. It needed to be something that could stand a lot of wear because my grandson and his friends are often sitting on the sofa, lying on it, etc. The slipcover that was replaced never fit right and did not adequately cover the entire sofa. It was much too short in the front. This stretch slipcover was exactly what I wanted and fits very well. It looks nice and compliments the room. I would recommend it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Pretty good match. Color was as expected.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The slipcover seems to be good quality It stretches to fit and covers the sofa well.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? I found the on site description accurate and rec eived what I expected to receive. There were no surprises and I am satisfied with my purchase.

Press release: BT helps Humber NHS Foundation Trust go mobile and spend more time with patients
DC15-150 (30 March 2015)
BT to give healthcare staff on the move access to real-time information where and when they need it
BT today announced it has been awarded a contract by Humber NHS Foundation Trust for a new mobile solution, designed to transform patient care and the working lives of clinicians, while at the same time saving the Trust money. It uses innovative software from Belfast company, TotalMobile, to give healthcare professionals on the move access to real-time information where and when they need it.
Staff at the Trust - which provides a range of mental health, community, learning disability, and addiction services – will now be able to access patient records, view schedules and appointments and update notes while on their rounds, using a mobile device of their choice, such as tablets or smartphones.
Replacing paper records, the new mobile solution ensures that clinicians have the most up to date information at their fingertips whether in the office, on the go or at the patient's home. It streamlines the Trust's existing processes, reducing the need to return to base, saving time and money travelling and allowing more time to be spent on patient care. It's planned that the solution will be rolled out to 500 healthcare professionals, in multiple care settings, in the first phase from June to September.
Bought using the government's G-Cloud procurement framework, BT is providing an end-to-end solution which offers Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G mobile connectivity. It integrates with the Trust's existing electronic patient record system and incorporates workforce and work flow management software from TotalMobile, a leading provider of mobile software. Patient records and scheduling information sit on a BT-hosted platform which complies with Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) standards for information security, ensuring sensitive patient data is safeguarded.
This is the first time TotalMobile and BT have worked together to offer a mobile solution in the UK to a health organisation. The new solution is being partly funded by NHS England's £65 million Nursing Technology Fund which was launched in 2012 to support nurses, midwives and health visitors to make better use of digital technology in all care settings, in order to deliver safer, more effective and more efficient care.
Adrian Snarr, director of Finance, Infrastructure and Informatics at Humber NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Our Trust serves a population of 600,000 over a large geographic area. With more than 3,000 staff operating from 70 sites and many providing services in patient's own homes, it was essential we were able to digitally capture information at the point of care. This mobile service allows our staff to gain instant secure access to the most up to date information stored on our electronic patient record system. This means our community teams for example, can plan their visits more efficiently and effectively to maximise their time with their patients.
"Using G-Cloud we were able to speed up the procurement process as a whole and keep the costs down as we didn't have to go to the expense of putting the contract out to tender."
Ian Dalton, president of Global Government and Health, BT Global Services, said: "The NHS is facing huge financial challenges and we're excited by the opportunities mobile working can offer organisations such as Humber NHS Foundation Trust to work smarter and more cost-effectively. Not only can it reduce travel and administration, freeing staff up to spend more time with their patients, but it can empower them to provide the highest quality patient care. This is clearly not just about technology, it's about transforming care and services."
Colin Reid, chief executive of TotalMobile, said: "I'm delighted to be teaming up with a company of BT's calibre and its long history of providing innovative solutions to the NHS. This really is a win-win for patients, staff and the NHS. Mobile working is key to unlocking a number of efficiency benefits at a time when the NHS is looking to provide more for less while at the same time improving patient care and allowing NHS staff to spend more time with the patient.
"And it's not only this pioneering trust that can benefit. This capability can be replicated across the NHS and is ideal for any healthcare organisation with teams working at a central location such as doctors on a hospital ward, as well as teams out and about in the community. It has the potential to truly mobilise frontline clinical staff."

Instead of taking the usual guest's spot near the window, John sat to the left of me, where Beatrice usually sat. Beatrice took the chair on the right and shot me a confused and approving look. Despite her name, she was very pretty, and had good taste (and luck) in all things boy-related.
We ate dinner in the usual manner with no delays or mishaps. Well, at least no one else had any delays or mishaps.
In order to not look like a pig in front of John, I took about half of what I normally would, and consumed it in small, lady-like bites. I also was intently focused on my water glass most of the evening.
Twice during the main portion, John silently nudged me under the table. It was enough to send sparks up my spine. Then, as we ate dessert, he inconspicuously "dropped" his napkin on the floor so it laid between our chairs. Leaning down, his head was just inches from my thigh. As he returned to the table, the back of his hand lightly brushed my knee.
I almost choked on a cherry from the brief contact. He chuckled silently as I coughed and took a long gulp of water.
Beatrice was the only one who had noticed my strange behavior. Later that night Beatrice came into my room and sat on my bed.
"Okay, spill." I gave her an innocent look.
"Spill what?" I turned around to finish braiding my hair, wet from the shower, and saw her expression in the mirror. It was pretty terrifying.
"You know. What happened with that John Martin kid tonight at dinner? You were acting like a lunatic the entire time!"
I spun around and shouted, obviously defensive, "I was not!" I shot a look at the door, but didn't hear or see my mother. I did not want her to hear any part of this conversation.
"Rosieeee," she whined, "pleaseeee tell me! You know I won't tell anyone. Please?" Her green eyes were big and round, like a puppy's. I couldn't deny that face.
"Okay," I submitted, "but you can't tell anyone! Not even your friends!" She nodded, suddenly serious, and waited for me to begin. "When I went to the movies with Cally and Sara the other night, John and his friends were there. I think we may have flirted a little," though I had no idea what flirting even was. I wasn't exactly experienced with boys.
But then her eyes were back on me. "So why were you acting all funny around him tonight, Rosie? He's just a guy."
"Just a guy!" I exclaimed,
To my surprise, she started laughing. "He embarrassed you in your own house!"
"If you want to do that-" she paused for dramatic affect, "-then the next time the two of you are alone, just kiss him!" Then she laughed even harder at my bewildered expression.

Chapter 16Mature
My stress level was way off the scale after last morning… bumping into Cassie and Alex playing the role of my husband. After I got home from my morning with Alex, I watched TV, and hide in my room because I was just too out of it.
In the morning, I called the school, asking for a leave for a week to deal with my loss. They let me go with pay and I jumped straight into house cleaning. I figured that house cleaning will keep my mind preoccupied and will stop replaying the scene at the tea shop and the taxi ride.
The house is a four bedroom, with two bathrooms, and a kitchen; one story. The nurse took everything with her from her room and at 8:00 AM, the hospital picked up my aunt's equipment.
The only things that were left in those rooms were the paintings that I've bought over the years at art galleries and dust bunnies.
Megan had a bed and other necessities for me at her house so I could donate everything in the house… except the paintings. Those can go into storage.
My fingers touch the walls of my aunt's room and tears flow freely.
"I'm going to miss this place," I said to the room before walking out and making phone calls to get painters to paint over the old paint. They said that they would come in an hour. Then, I called the real estate lady that sold me the house and she said, way too happily, that she would be by in an hour, too.
So, for an hour, I've swapped the rooms, broke several dishes, especially tea cups thanks to the my memories of last night, and started on the lawn in the front yard.
"Amy love-
The backyard was pretty small so it wouldn't take long. Considering that I got up and been cleaning since 7:00 AM thanks to being a teacher and needing to make that phone call, I got a lot done so it was not like I had too much left to do about 2:00PM when the boys showed up to paint and the lady showed up to look at the house.
I have Mrs. Perry sit down on the stools at the kitchen bar and show the team of 5 men the two rooms that were ready to be painted. I asked them to do the two rooms at once and said that I would pay extra if they would finish by 6:00 PM. Since, the ceiling and the walls would be all white, and the men have a lot of roller brushes, I don't think it would take too long. I also told them that if they finish the rooms by 4:00 PM, it would be good to paint the guest room, but only if they can move out the dresser and the bed into the living room.
Then, I marched back into the kitchen to see Mrs. Perry checking the windows the kitchen cabinets.
"You certainly kept the house in a good condition and you're painting the walls again. That will raise the price. When was the last time you changed the heater, flooring? Stuff like that?" Mrs. Perry got straight to business.
For the next hour, we walked around the house and I was recommended to change the floors in the hallway, which I declined because that would be mean that I would never leave this place.
After that, she told me that she will get the paperwork going, put the house on the market. She was also very happy to hear that I will not living there when people will start visiting. Apparently, it's better to sell the house without the occupants.
Then, I checked on the boys and decided to call Goodwill to pick up the beds and the dressers. Emptying them should be fast while I wait for them to get them. They were happy to come and get the stuff. Then, I graded papers, waiting for the men to finish painting. They finished a little after 6:00 PM, I still gave them their tip because they did all four rooms, locked up the house, and texted Alex, my address. He replied almost instantly.
I wait outside in my red silk skirt, black shirt, and small high heels.
My fingers find his text on my phone and I re-read the last line:
Do not stress, worry, fret, and most importantly let me down tonight.
"What's going to happen?" I asked the wind.

Great Buy
This was the best money i ever spent on bedding. It made a very hard mattress quite comfortable saving me money as I did not have to buy a new mattress. The cost was also very reasonable compared to others. I was initially leary as some other reviewers said this was not memory foam, but it most definately is. It does bounce back. I had no smell issues either. I aired it out as directed on the package. I had none of the problems some of the other reviews mentioned. I would recommend this for anyone that wants to make a hard bed cushier.

I was born and raised in California, where purchasing a gun and getting a carry permit can be a pain in the ass. I moved to the gun friendly state of Texas six years ago and now I find myself addicted to purchasing good looking firearms. I want to know how many firearms you guys own and also how often do you purchase a firearm or trade up. I've bought two guns within the past 3 months and I'm already thinking of my next purchase! Some of my anti-gun friends think I've gone overboard with this new "fetish" of mine, but I wanted to know the purchasing habits of others to see if I'm alright or nuts!!

only need one to do the job. But I have.....well...let's say more than one.
I think "how many guns do you own" is kinda like asking a Texas cattleman how many head of cattle he owns. If the information is volunteered, fine, otherwise, it really is not polite to ask.
However, that never seems to stop people, so my stock answer is "not enough."
As far as how often I buy, that's a little less personal. I buy when there is a convergence between "when the spirit moves me" and "when I can afford it." Most of the time I research my next purchase so I buy wisely. but on a few occasions I've gone to the big gun shows here in Phoenix with a few Franklins in my pocket and came home with something I never anticipated buying - just tripped over a "find."

Basically, Jason Meagher of Black Dirt Studio is doing it right. A fellow fighter against the evils of pale pop music. He's a sympathetic audio engineer by all accounts and it seems to me his time with No Neck Blues Band provides a unique window into the world of free-form improvisation.
Meagher's track record is admirable. He's made records for the Black Twig Pickers, Blues Control, Charalambides, Eleven Twenty-Nine, Expo 70, GHQ, Steve Gunn / John Truscinski, D. Charles Speer & the Helix, Stellar OM Source.
He's playing with Pat Murano as K-Salvatore (their first gig in a decade or so) as part of the Spy Music Festival at Death By Audio on Friday, July 6th.
I got in touch with Jason to ask him questions about the fairly new and ongoing NATCH series.
Jason makes each NATCH session conducted at his studio available for free download on NATCH website. You can also stream and get them on Free Music Archive. Or even more simply, at the bottom of this post.
Play these while reading the interview :
Aaron Moore & Carter Thornton – Josef Ituk
Dave Nuss, Rahdunes, Stellar Om Source & Aswara – Consolamentum
Pat Murano & Tom Carter – Prophets And Martyrs Are My Witness
Zachary Cale, Mighty Moon & Ethan Schmid – Trees Don't Sleep
Dave Shuford, Margot Bianca & Pigeons – Dickel's Dream
Black Twig Pickers & Steve Gunn – Sally In The Garden Sifting Sand
What prompted the move upstate?
City living was something I'd done my whole life. My wife and I talked a lot over the years about moving up north and there were some circumstances that came about that allowed us to do that, so we did.
So the move wasn't to start the studio. How did Black Dirt come about?
I'd been recording for years on a 4 track, but never with any real investment in it as a process. In the years leading up to the move I was involved in recording The Suntanama up at the Hint House on a Korg digital machine and I totally got the bug, bad. There would be weeknight sessions where everyone would split and I'd stay until the early morning hours, killing a bottle of rum, dicking around on the machine with little to no idea what I was doing, trying to make things sound good. There were mic sims on the machine that were named 57, 421, 87, etc and I had no idea what those numbers meant! Didn't know the difference between an insert effect and a master effect… Of course, the great thing about recording is you can approach it from a very caveman perspective. What is this thing, what does it do if I put it here, move it here, turn this knob, etc. Eventually you get a feel for making things sound ok. And once you're there, it is an easy jump to "I think I'll start recording other people." Which lead to Black Dirt. The timing was perfect. The bug had evolved to a full blown disease and there was nothing else I wanted to do than record music.
Black Dirt is situated in a rural area only 60 miles away from New York City. Are you saying the shift in geography wasn't intended to influence these potential recordings?
Well, it would be nice to say something like being in a rural area in a basement creates a vibe somewhere between Big Pink and Nellcôte, but I don't think that is the case. From my perspective there's not much of a difference between recording here and recording in a city, except there are less adult distractions in spitting distance. Most sessions start in the daylight and end deep into the nighttime darkness, there are few to no windows, not much fresh air in the lungs, etc. That's kind of the same everywhere. I have heard from artists that being isolated is a great thing; that it is nice to get away from their lives, the routine, and focus on the music. For city dwellers I would imagine that seeing so many stars at night, or wild animals in the daytime, can be a nice feeling on a break, rather than a bodega or a delivery truck. That said, I have had people book time here based on the seasons – the strangling heat of August, the long nights of February, etc. Artists have utilized field recordings here as well – insects and frogs in summer, air pressure drops in late winter, rain, birds, etc.
I wanted to model the experience artists would have at Black Dirt on some of my own as a musician. One was to include a sense of hospitality that I learned from staying at Byron Coley's places in Western Mass over the years as a young man on tour. We built an apartment for the artists to stay in while they're here and on long sessions (and even sometimes on weekend sessions, time permitting) we'll cook a meal for the band, take a nice break, drink some wine, get away from the pressure for a few hours. The other was the laid back, not on the clock, homespun feeling I experienced recording at Paul Oldham's Rove Studio in his farmhouse in KY and Jerry Yester's place in AK. All of those places had a profound effect on me and so by virtue of transference, perhaps Black Dirt can have a similar effect on others, and perhaps wouldn't have been possible in a city setting.
So, tell me what is NATCH all about.
NATCH is about recording people without focusing on the fact that people are being recorded. It is like an anti recording session. Get some talented people together, hang out, play some music. Music comes naturally. Without the concept of success or failure lurking in the corner of the room, if you give anyone an instrument, they're going to make some noise on it. These sessions hopefully kinda get back to that feeling, even if the people coming here are really good players.
How did the series come about? How has it evolved after the initial release?
It got to the point here that when I wasn't working, I wasn't recording and I never started recording with the express idea that it would be a j-o-b type job. In the early days of the studio, Dave Nuss (NNCK, Sabbath Assembly, etc) would book these one off sessions where he'd get people together up here and just make music. He did one with the Family Underground that became the Christian Family Underground LP on Woodsist. Another with Jakob Olausson. One that became the band Amolvacy. The last one he did was with Rahdunes, Stellar Om Source and Aswara and nothing ever came of it. I had fond memories of the music they recorded and one night I decided to just start a mix and see what came of it. I was reminded of those sessions and how much fun they were. I was aware of the Daytrotter series and had recently been hipped to the Shaking Through series in Philly and it all just clicked. Why not set up some sessions that could be done fast, free and fun?
The first couple of sessions I booked were with people who had been to the studio before. Along with the artists, I had no idea what was going to happen at first. One thing that has changed is that I've begun inviting up artists who have never been here before, which has been amazing. Also, the sessions have begun to take on an internal rhythm – whether that is because there is a document of what has already happened, a watermark, and therefore a bit of an expectation on the artist's part as to what they want to accomplish in the short time here, or if the walls are just vibrating a certain way when that energy of the first couple of hours of each session unfolds.
Collaboration is obviously a very important element to the series, could you elaborate as to why?
The main reason was to try and keep the sessions away from feeling like a demo process. If NATCH was a series of one artist or group coming up to do their thing, there's a good chance it could become a testing ground for their next release. Or simply a promotional tool. With recording technology the way it is, what would distinguish a NATCH session from a recording done at home to a laptop or digital 2 track? By putting people together who have never played with each other before, the hope is to keep it in the moment, maybe find some middle ground between the artists that they might not go to on their own. There's been a nice side effect of the series, in that some of the artists have continued to work with each other after their session.
What do you look for when pairing artists?
First and foremost, people who I hope will get along, socially and musically. I'm still waiting for the uncomfortable "clunker" session, but thankfully that hasn't happened yet. Also, the artists should share some kind of intangible thing musically, an aesthetic, a particular nuance to the way they approach sound, where they are in their personal arc in their relationship to sound. And I'm thinking about the pairings like a sonic jigsaw puzzle – what instrumentation might work in a traditional way, or non-traditional way. Lately I've been inviting larger numbers of people to a single session with an ear towards a kind of one off band experience rather than a pairing of two single artists. We'll see how those sessions turn out.
What kind of hang ups do you see when a band comes in to record with a record deal already in place?
Well, there's an obvious focus on getting it right, for better or worse. You know, someone is paying for the time and the artists want to maximize it and make it perfect. "Are we nailing it?" "Does it sound as good as the demo / rehearsal / live show?" etc. That is all important, but there is a lot of amazing music to be found in the cracks between those questions as well as in happy accidents. Most contemporary budgets don't allow for much experimentation in the studio. I'm not talking about writing, but trying a different approach from the one that has been hammered out in rehearsals. Another common situation is the "Come and get me when it's my turn" scenario. During a session, it is impossible for everyone to be committed to focusing on every sound the entire time, but a lot of doors are closed when half the band thinks that they're done with their contributions and partially check out for the remainder of a session.
I also do a large amount of artist funded projects, where the goal is to shop around the recording after it is done. That brings along a more intense dose of maximizing in a different way as well as the specter of "Will anyone be interested in producing this?" hanging out over the artist's head the whole time.
What is your most prized piece of equipment at this point?
The default snarky engineer answer to this question is always, "My ears!" The piece of gear I love the most right now is actually something I have on semi-permanent loan from Jimy Seitang, an Alembic Superfilter. It has really changed the way I balance across the frequency spectrum over the last couple of years.
Is there a pinnacle collaboration for NATCH? Any artist, any band (past or present), who would you choose?
How about Allen Toussaint and Leon Russell? Or Michael Hagerty and the Kinks? D Charles Speer & the Helix and Kaleidoscope? AMM and the Dead C? Fahey and Jack Rose… I would've retired after that one!
What's in store for the future of Black Dirt? Any specifics on tap?
Well my advice to anyone considering starting their own studio is, don't do it! At least not alone. The biggest drawback of being isolated is the lack of community around the studio. It would be great to host listening parties, summer cookouts, NATCH style jams, etc, here, but it is just not feasible without a local scene. I'd love to be able to move out of the basement in the near future to have some more flexibility with mic placement and live off the floor recording, natural reverb and ambiance, as well as having some more space to incorporate a machine room to get some of the noisier gear out of the control room and bring in a 24 track tape machine. There seems to be a scene percolating on both sides of the river between Beacon & Hudson including Rosendale, Kingston, etc, so maybe a move a little northeast might be in the future. Any readers out there looking for a similar setup and a partner, get in touch!
There are some exciting NATCH sessions coming up including Dave Nuss and Michael Evans, Michael Chapman with Steve Gunn, Jimy Seitang, Nathan Bowles & Marc Orleans (tentatively calling themselves The Woodpiles), Ben Chasny & Hiss Golden Messenger, maybe something with Betsy Nichols, Dan Melchior, Jon Lam, and the Helix rhythm section – Ted Robinson & Steve McGuirl. I've been talking to some other folks as well, tho' nothing is written in stone, they are equally exciting!

Adam of Northern Spy, responsible for this stimulating interview, also gave us his label's plans for 2012 :
". In August, the first Diamond Terrifier (Sam Hillmer of Zs) full-length drops.
. In September, we're dropping a box set. It's four discs of material compiling the complete sextet works by the band Zs.
. Also, we're putting out a new record by Dan Melchior called 'The Backward Path' which features overdubs by C. Spencer Yeh, Ela Orleans, Sam Hillmer, and Haley Fohr (Circuit Des Yeux)
. October, we've got a recording by John Butcher made at the new Issue Project Room space (110 Livingston). It's a solo performance in the empty room.
. And we've got the epic follow up to Infinite Ease / Good God. The record is called COL and it completes the Colin L. Orchestra trilogy. This is Colin Langenus' band. Colin was in USA is a Monster. Now, he's got the Colin L. Orchestra, CSC Funk Band, and Alien Whale.
In November, we're putting out a collaboration between the duo of Loren Connors & Suzanne Langille with the painter MP Landis. This will be the first record by this duo in about 2 decades. The record was made in one day, live in the studio, with no overdubs. We projected paintings by MP Landis. Suzanne and Loren were seeing them for the first time. They played to the paintings. This will be out on CD later in the year. Two tracks from the session are getting pressed on a limited 7″ which will be available this week with original art by MP Landis."

Anything these two old, tired, washed up, reality show failure, posing, lying, gossiping, wannabes touch fails. There is your answer. Andrew and Ryan are poison and lying jokes. Andrew should stick to what he knows best, botox, collagen, conning old men out of money, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow and tucking Candice. Ryan should do the same, trying to look young, cheating on Rob, having three ways with Rob, lying, stealing, conning, getting tacky tattoos acting like an idiot reality show reject. This bar will be and has always destined to be a failure, just like their lives.ReplyDelete

Meghan's Bio
I'm Meghan, I'm from Michigan and I'm looking for a full-time nanny job for a family in Manhattan, Brooklyn or a world traveling position. I can start immediately. I just graduated from Central Michigan University with a degree in elementary education. I recently completed my student teaching in a kindergarten classroom in Michigan for the first 10 weeks and in a 2nd grade classroom in the Dominican Republic for the last 5 weeks. I can offer a commitment of at least 1.5 years or longer if the job is a good fit.
I have 3 years experience as a professional nanny; 1 year as a full-time live-in nanny in TriBeCa NYC from Sept. 2013-Sept. 2014 with one 2 year old girl and 2 years of part time live-out experience with boy-girl twins from their ages of 2-4 in Michigan. I have additional newborn experience with the NYC family for 2 months during college breaks with their 2nd child. Both families could be of reference as the positions ended only when I moved.
I also worked 5 summers at a camp in upstate new york; 3 summers as a camp counselor and 2 summers with a promotion to group leader. As a group leader I was in charge of over 50 campers at a time and about 25 staff members in the 3rd and 4th grade age group. My camp director is also willing to be a reference.
My other childcare experiences include over 13 years of babysitting, several months of substitute teaching, 1 year working in a child care center of a fitness club and numerous volunteer opportunities in schools.
I am CPR and first aid certified, can easily put together plans for lessons or play dates, run errands, manage others, do light housekeeping, keep kids entertained without screens, potty train, make educational activities fun, cook healthy meals for children, research fun outings, and go above and beyond what is expected of me.
My hobbies include traveling, arts and crafts, baking, cooking, running outdoors, photography, attending concerts and small shows, meeting new people, and of course teaching and working with children.
My ideal job would be on the books (I will be paying back student loans with a lot of my salary), some type of health insurance offered after April 2016, live-in or apartment offered with job, in TriBeCa or downtown Manhattan (I am very familiar with the area already), include traveling with the family, and offer some paid time off. I have 2 weddings in Michigan that I am a bridesmaid for that I will need some time off to attend in June and December 2016.

Our view: Hold
Share price: 287.6p (-2.4p)
There have been dramatic changes at Misys this year, not least the sell-off of a controlling stake in healthcare group Allscripts and the decision to focus on business software. Yesterday the group gave an indication of how its new life is going in its first quarterly update since the £780m deal.
Misys now specialises in two areas of financial software and the first three months of its financial year showed a similar pattern to the previous months: The treasury and capital markets division continues to perform strongly with revenues up 4 per cent to £38m. More importantly, order intake was up 15 per cent as the flagship Summit trading system continued to attract customers. New contract wins include OSK Investment Bank in Malaysia and the finance arm of PetroChina.
But the group's banking software arm continues to look shaky. Revenues were down 5 per cent in the first quarter, but more worryingly order intake was down almost a fifth. Misys chief executive Mike Lawrie believes the division is progressing following the launch of a suite of new products.
Given the economic pressures on the banking industry, however, the banking software market remains tough, amply demonstrated by the way global services revenues fell 14 per cent year on year.
The good news for Misys' shareholders is that after the group pays down debt and advisory fees, the proceeds of the Allscripts deal will be returned to them. And those that have stuck with the stock since December 2008, when the shares had fallen to 84.7p, have also been rewarded.
Misys shares have undergone a renaissance, more than trebling to 286p. Analysts at Panmure Gordon say the they now look an expensive 20.3 times full-year earnings, but although the Allscripts cash brings this down to 10.2 times. There has been talk that if the new banking systems catch on, the shares could rise as high as 360p and seasonally this is the weakest quarter for Misys, so there could well be an upside. For that reason, keep hold of the shares.
Moss Bros
Our view: Hold
Share price: 23p (+1p)
Moss Bros, which hires and sells men's suits, delivered a mixed bag for the six months to 31 July. The group behind the eponymous Moss shops boasted a 11.6 per cent surge in like-for-like sales and a robust performance on gross margins, which only slipped by 0.5 per cent, despite the hike in VAT in January 2010. Encouragingly, Moss Bros said its underlying performance in the first eight weeks of the second half had continued to improve, as men dress to impress in the office.
On the downside, the uplift in sales did not feed through to the retailer's bottom line. Moss Bros's pre-tax losses widened by £300,000 to £3.3m over the half-year, which it attributed to changes including the temporary closure of two major stores for refits and severance and reorganisation costs.
There will be more of those as Moss Bros plans to axe jobs at its head office and distribution centre, which is moving from a seven-day to five-day week to trim costs, although it is thought the redundancies will be relatively modest. We tipped Moss Bros as a speculative buy at 22p in March, but have concerns that 2011 is likely to be more challenging for the high street. That said, Moss Bros has no debt and analysts tip it return to profitability in the year to January 2012. So hold on.
Rockhopper Exploration
Our view: Hold
Share price: 489p (+9p)
There will no doubt be a lot of back slapping at Rockhopper Exploration's annual meeting later today as shareholders hear how the group's stock has put on a remarkable 786.9 per cent in the last 6 months. Indeed, the venue had to be changed to accommodate all those that wanted to attend. The jump in the share price comes after the group, one of a number taking part in controversial exploration work off the coast of the Falklands, struck oil at its Sea Lion asset earlier this year. But when tomorrow's partying has died down, investors will need to decide whether the charge behind the stock has run out off steam.
A number of analysts say not, arguing that other prospective wells, most notably one called Rachel, will lead to more gains as new drilling takes place – after all, it is unlikely that the oil will be restricted to a single well.
But now may be an opportune time to take a pause – yes, the Sea Lion well would be worth more to a larger company, but Rockhopper is still a small cap and will attract a disproportionate number of naysayers as a result. We like the group, and would keeping holding for the moment. Hold.

Ryan Gosling gives fans another acting "Valentine"
By Zorianna Kit
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - By most accounts in Hollywood, he is one of the best actors of his generation, but for Ryan Gosling there will be no major studio movies, no comic book hero roles like Spider-Man or goofy romantic comedies.
At age 30, Gosling still prefers movies like his new "Blue Valentine," which debuts in theaters on Wednesday. It was made outside Hollywood's major studios and is an adult drama -- currently the most unappreciated film genre at box offices as audiences seek escapism and laughter in movie theaters around the holiday season.
But dramas generally offer the most challenging roles for actors and as much as anything else, Gosling loves a challenging acting job -- even if he's not quite sure why.
"Some people eat and eat and don't know how to stop," Gosling told Reuters. "For me, it's the same thing with film. I'm compelled to play these kinds of characters. Even when I'm in it, I have moments of lucidity where I'm like, 'Why am I doing this?' And I don't know why. Not knowing is what keeps me interested."
Gosling's only mainstream Hollywood movie hit was "The Notebook," a romantic drama based on the Nicholas Sparks novel that took in a surprising $81 million at U.S. and Canadian box offices. It told the tale of an older man telling audiences how he first fell in love with his wife many years before.
As a child actor, Gosling worked in TV before breaking out in "The Believer," a Sundance Film Festival darling in 2001 that earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best actor playing a young Jewish man who is anti-Semitic.
By 2007, he had earned an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a drug addicted school teacher in another independently made movie, "Half Nelson," which followed his Golden Globe-nominated performance as a young man who falls in love with a sex doll in "Lars and the Real Girl."
Gosling does not consciously avoid big studio movies. Rather he said he feels "there's more freedom and more experimentation" in independent films. And "Blue Valentine" is no exception, thanks to an unorthodox filming process that proved to be the most experimental of Gosling's career yet. Continued...

Rocker-turned-astronomer BRIAN MAY has slammed the BBC for failing to invest enough money in the forthcoming 50th anniversary edition of star-gazing show THE SKY AT NIGHT. The QUEEN guitarist studied the solar system at London's Imperial College and collaborated with veteran The Sky At Night presenter SIR PATRICK MOORE, 83, on the book BANG! And he is dismayed that BBC executives have refused to pay travel expenses so second man on the moon BUZZ ALDRIN can appear on the show scheduled for later this year (07). May says, "The BBC, true to form, has refused any extra budget to mark the special anniversary edition. "The programme has for years been run on a budget which would be an insult to any half-decent documentary programme. "It's a sad comment on the decision makers at the BBC who don't seem to appreciate the talent they have until it's gone."
