The English band have announced the final details about their new LP by announcing its title, release date and first single.
After committing their future by signing a three albums marketing deal with Sony BMG, Oasis finally revealed the details about their new studio album. The English rockers have announced the title and release date for their new LP.
On their official website the band stated that their seventh studio set will be titled "Dig Out Your Soul" and it is being scheduled to hit the stores on October 6. Beside announcing their new set's title and release date, the rockers also confirm that "The Shock Of The Lightning" will be first single from the new record and it will be spawned on September 29.
Revealing about the songs that the band make for the new LP, the band's frontman Noel Gallagher said, "I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight. I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic; more driving. Songs that would draw you in, in a different way. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel."
Meanwhile, speaking about their first single Noel stated, "If 'The Shock Of The Lightning' sounds instant and compelling to you, it's because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. 'The Shock of The Lightning' basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there's a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best."

My friend is cosplaying Meiko from Vocaloid--more specifically, from the PV "Synchronicity".
That's an image of the costume. I'm helping her make it, and we've got pretty much everything down--everything but the breastplate. The initial plan was to use the craft foam tutorial, but she's pretty convinced that it won't work. Neither of us have actually made armor out of craft foam, and I'm beginning to doubt it'll work, too. So before I totally scrap the idea, I was wondering if Coscom could possibly tell me if this idea is plausible or not? Thanks in advance!
@Nerfherder: Actually, that t-shirt idea really got me thinking, and I'm pretty sure I've figured out a way to do it. With craft foam, mind you, which I think is a lot cheaper than wonderflex. We're working on a very, very low budget.. ^^;;
Yeah, when we first started planning this, we agreed that it would be two pieces held together with velcro--it's how it is in the picture and the PV, so that's definitely the way we're going to try and do it.
Thanks for the advice!
@schmii: Yeah, that's the tutorial my friend and I plan on using! Thank you for suggesting it, though!

Stars Mock Clint Eastwood's Republican National Convention Speech on Twitter
That included celebrities, who watched as the 82-year-old screen legend argue with an empty chair (that was supposed to be President Barack Obama) with fascination, then took to Twitter in derision.
The funniest tweet may have come from comedian Bob Newhart, who, before he was a TV star, was famous for his routines in which he had one-sided phone conversations with imaginary people.
What did Newhart and other snarky celebrities say about Clint Eastwood's speech?
I heard that Clint Eastwood was channeling me at the RNC. My lawyers and I are drafting our lawsuit…
#RNC #ClintEastwood #rnc2012 #GOP2012
— Bob Newhart (@BobNewhart) August 31, 2012
Other stars were more blunt:
Clint Eastwood talking to a non-responsive stool sorta sums up Christianity in a nutshell, huh Republicans?
— Jason Biggs (@JasonBiggs) August 31, 2012
Clint Eastwood has gone fuckin nutterbutters yo.
— Adam Levine (@adamlevine) August 31, 2012
Some seemed disappointed to see their hero's apparent stumble:
Clint Eastwood became huge star as a man of few wordsAs a surprise guest on the Tampa stage he had too many words (I say as a friend)
— Tom Brokaw (@tombrokaw) August 31, 2012
is clint eastwood meant to instill confidence in republicans?! i am legitimately scared of his talking to imaginary obama.
— Zachary Quinto (@ZacharyQuinto) August 31, 2012
Clint, my hero, is coming across as sad and pathetic. He didn't need to do this to himself. It's unworthy of him.
— Roger Ebert (@ebertchicago) August 31, 2012
Others just riffed on what they saw:
That was so awesome.Biden has to go shirtless for DNC to top it.
— Seth Meyers (@sethmeyers21) August 31, 2012
Clint has now eclipsed the total word count of his last three films.
— Richard Roeper (@richardroeper) August 31, 2012
To restore balance to the Universe, Obama must have Tommy Chong onstage at the DNC talking to a steak.
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) August 31, 2012
Clint Eastwood's RNC speech was to imaginary Obama in an empty chair. I'm drafting a DNC speech to imaginary Romney in an empty factory.
— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) August 31, 2012
Not everyone thought Eastwood's speech was a headscratcher. Some supported him wholeheartedly:
I. Love. Clint Eastwood.
— Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) August 31, 2012
Clint Eastwood made my day.
— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) August 31, 2012
An anonymous jokester set up a Twitter account called @InvisibleObama that quickly attracted 50,000 followers.
Even the President himself got into the action. The White House response was a tweeted snapshot, photographed from behind, of Obama in a desk chair, with the caption, "This seat's taken."

Dr. David Barton – on Obama
I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President !
Why am I doing this ? It is because:
– I do not share Obama's vision or value system for America.
– I do not share his Abortion beliefs.
– I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth.
– I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August).
– I do not share his view that America is Arrogant.
– I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation.
– I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%
– I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegal's than our American Citizens who need help.
– I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage.
– I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land.
– I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public).
– I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America;
– I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East.
– I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.
Bottom line: my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right!
For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!
They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!
They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant !
They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years!
They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country!
They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society!
They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code!
They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!
Unite behind Obama? Never!
I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!
PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!
Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his "goals for America."
I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country! !
Any more compromise is more defeat!

Baton Rouge lawmakers Steve Carter and Dalton Honoré on Monday submitted two bills that would shrink the size of the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board from 11 to 7 members and shift most of the board's and the superintendent's power to more than 80 school principals.
The bills also would create three "community enrollment zones," where parents living in those zones would get priority to enroll at schools within the zone as well as "community councils" staffed by "community academic coordinators" who help parents advocate for the children in their community.
The Baton Rouge Area Chamber on Monday afternoon announced the submission of the legislation and laid out some of its highlights, though copies of the bills were not available publicly Monday afternoon. The deadline to file bills for the Legislature is Tuesday. The current session ends June 2.
"It's important to note that this legislation recognizes that major changes like this cannot happen overnight," said Adam Knapp, president and CEO of the chamber, in a statement.
The changes will roll out over a three-year period "to make sure that principals have the resources, training, and support structures they need to be great school leaders," he said.
BRAC announced March 7 it was in the process of developing legislation that would dramatically restructure the school system and would follow nine principles that the business lobbying organization had settled on.
Keith Bromery , a spokesman for the East Baton Rouge Parish school system, said Monday most of BRAC's legislative proposals — except for governance issues — reflect initiatives the school system has already enacted or is currently planning.
He said he hoped BRAC would continue to "collaborate with the district" as well as seek the opinion of principals, who are in the best position to offer "advice and guidance regarding their responsibilities and how they impact student achievement."
BRAC's legislative push is partly an effort to head off an ongoing petition drive to create a city of St. George by incorporating much of unincorporated East Baton Rouge Parish.
The St. George effort was prompted by discontent with the parish school system, which was manifested in two failed attempts to create a breakaway school district in southeast Baton Rouge.
Rep. Bodi White, R-Central, the author of the breakaway bills, has a new one, Senate Bill 354. It would make it easier for the state to create new breakaway school districts and retroactively bless the Southeast Baton Rouge District that fell just short of legislative approval in 2013. That bill is awaiting action on the Senate floor.
White is also pushing another bill, SB 484, that would keep the East Baton Parish Rouge Parish school system but would divide it into four subdistricts and create deputy superintendents whose chief job would be setting the boundaries of those subdistricts. That bill has been assigned to the Senate Education Committee.
The parish School Board on Monday was planning to debate its own answer to the St. George issue. The board's plan has similarities to the chamber's proposals, but would not change the powers of the board and the superintendent and pushes less power to principals.
The chamber's legislation would limit the School Board's authority over "finances, current and future school facilities, enrollment zones, emergency preparation, choosing and holding accountable the superintendent," according to the announcement.
The superintendent would hire the principals and then support their efforts, exercising far less control than they currently have.
Honoré, D-Baton Rouge, is the lead author of the legislation to shrink the School Board. Instead of 11 board members elected by the district, Honoré's bill would have just six election districts plus one at-large seat.
Carter, R-Baton Rouge, is the lead author of the school system restructuring bill.

Team website: www.solardecathlon.uiuc.edu
When you step into the University of Illinois' Solar Decathlon house on a chilly Washington, D.C., fall day, you are greeted by comfortably warm surroundings. Then, a student tells you the heat isn't even on; body heat from a steady stream of visitors keeps the house toasty.
The Gable Home, which has 516 square feet of conditioned space, is part of the biannual Solar Decathlon competition, which features 20 student-designed-and-built dwellings on display on the National Mall through Oct. 18.
The unit was built with thermally broken window frames, triple-pane glass, and a combination of rigid and spray-foam insulation that gives the walls a rating of R-50 and the ceiling a rating of R-70. The team performed a blower door test to make sure the house was sealed tight. Because of the efficient envelope, "all the mechanical systems used to condition the house can be compact and consolidated into a single unit," the team states in its brochure.
These characteristics allow the Illinois house to meet the strict standards of the Passive House Institute. It has a heating and cooling need of 15 kWh per square meter per year, 80% less than conventional new building standards, according to the institute.
"We haven't put heat in the house at all," says Mark Taylor, an assistant professor of architecture and a team advisor. "The daily activity of washing and cooking have kept the house above the required temperatures."
One particularly innovative technology works to cool the house in the summer and improves the performance of the water heater. Manufactured by AirGenerate, the AirTap heat pump system uses surrounding air to heat water and produce cold air.
"You can use any normal water tank," explains Mark Adams, a mechanical engineering graduate student. "You put down copper tubing into the water tank, and you put this unit on top. It pulls in the heat from the air and heats the water and blows out cold air."
Students ducted the system to blow into the living room in the summer, and exhaust out of the house in the winter.
In another clever twist, the Gable Home's frame is constructed from Lamboo, laminated bamboo.
"Bamboo can be harvested a lot quicker and used as a renewable resource," Taylor says. "As a structural frame system, we could have a thin profile to try to prevent thermal breaks." The product is 10 times stronger than traditional timber, so instead of a 1 ½-inch stud, ¾ inches of bamboo could be used, Taylor adds. The extra space was filled with insulation.
In addition, 40 thin-film photovoltaic SunPower 225 solar panels integrate with one side of the roof to provide 100% of the Gable Home's energy needs. In fact, the house is producing more energy than it uses, says Britta Monson, a senior architecture major who worked on the house.
However, sustainability was not the sole concern of the team. The Illinois students also wanted to make sure the house was marketable. To do that, they included technology and appliances that are readily available, and they designed the house with the traditional look of a Midwestern barn.
Reclaimed barn siding configured in a simple plank pattern graces the outside of the dwelling. A peaked, standing-seam metal roof completes the structure; solar panels do not require mounts that could distract from the roof's profile.
"If you can present the house in the aesthetic people are comfortable with, and introduce the technology, there's more of a chance of people taking up that technology," says Taylor.

General Committee Debates
Regional Grand Committee Debates
The Committee consisted of the following Members:
Andrew Kennon, David Slater, Committee Clerks
attended the Committee
South West Regional Grand Committee
Thursday 3 September 2009(Exeter)
[Robert Key in the Chair]Economic Downturn
10.30 am
The Chairman: Welcome to Exeter for the first ever sitting of a Regional Grand Committee outside Westminster. We are grateful to Devon county council for its hospitality and for the use of its chamber. It is also a pleasure to be in the constituency of Exeter, courtesy, we should not forget, of Ben Bradshaw, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.
The first business before the Committee is oral questions to Jim Knight, the Minister for the South West, which will be followed by a debate on the Select Committee report. It may be convenient for the public if I explain that we will conduct our business as we would at Westminster. For example, members of the Committee will rise to catch the Chairmans eye in order to ask questions and to make speeches during the debate.
Oral Answers to QuestionsThe Minister for the South West was asked
Gypsies and Travellers
1. Mr. James Gray (North Wiltshire) (Con): What recent representations the Government office for the south-west has received from local authorities on the numbers of Gypsies and Travellers resident on (a) official sites, (b) privately-owned sites without planning permission and (c) illegal sites; and if he will make a statement. [290606]
The Minister for the South West (Jim Knight): With your permission, Mr. Key, may I start by saying how pleased I am, as Minister for the South West, that ours is the first region to take Parliament out of Westminster and closer to the electors to whom we are accountable? This is also probably the first time that we have met in a slightly less combative crescent-shaped chamber; it will be interesting to see whether that helps us to achieve greater consensus.
The Government office for the south-west received 13 representations from local authorities on the provision of Gypsy and Traveller accommodation in the Secretary of States proposed changes to the regional spatial strategy, published in July 2008.
Mr. Gray: Planning inspectors are forced into favouring what would otherwise be illegal Gypsy and Traveller encampments because of the presumption that there is
Jim Knight: I am sure that the hon. Gentleman appreciates that it is important that legal provision is made for Gypsies and Travellers; otherwise there would be illegal sites without there having been a process to find the most appropriate place. It is important to put on record that there is no evidence that Gypsies and Travellers are treated differently from anybody else under the planning laws. The RSS has gone through a difficult phase following the challenge in the east of England. A later question has been tabled on the RSS, but I will say now what I was going to say then: it is inappropriate for me to comment on the detail, but the process is sound.
Mr. Laurence Robertson (Tewkesbury) (Con): May I support my hon. Friend the Member for North Wiltshire? We have a lot of Travellers in my constituency of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, some of whom behave perfectly well and some of whom do not. There is a major problem. I have been participating in the police service parliamentary scheme during the recess. The service has told me that it does not have the powers to do anything about the situation, and county and local councils also seem to be having great difficulties with it. Problems arise when Travellers move to a sitewhether they have a right to be there or notand then start to develop it. They may have to submit a planning application, but by the time that is turned down, they will have done an awful lot of damage to the site. I therefore support my hon. Friendthis is a very big problem, particularly in the county that I represent.
Jim Knight: I do not dispute that there is a significant problem that we have to resolve. It is worth pointing out that, nationally, the amount of space taken up by illegal sites occupies no more than around 1 square mile that would have to be distributed across the country in legal sites. That is why the Government have brought forward funding. Authorities across the region have applied for £4.5 million of funding to develop legal sites so that we can create a more controlled environment that has gone through a proper accountable planning process, and achieve a much more coherent strategy for dealing with Gypsies and Travellers.
Household Incomes
2. Mr. Adrian Sanders (Torbay) (LD): What discussions he has had with ministerial colleagues on levels of household incomes in Devon and Cornwall; and if he will make a statement. [290607]
Jim Knight: South-west England, and the peninsular in particular, is a low-earnings, high-cost place to live compared with other English regions. Average earnings
Mr. Sanders: I thank the Minister for that answer, but one of the things that local authorities and different community partnerships cannot do is control the cost of utility charges, particularly water and sewerage charges. Those charges are higher in south-west England than in any other part of the UK. Will the Minister commit to seeking a solution to that? We have been waiting more than 12 years for something concrete that helps people to meet the high cost of water and sewerage charges.
Jim Knight: I am well aware of the problem of the high cost of water and sewerage charges in the area covered by South West Water. The situation is slightly different in the parts of the region not covered by that water authority, as those areas do not have quite the same extent of liability in respect of coastal areas and bathing water quality. The subject is regularly raised by my parliamentary assistant, my hon. Friend the Member for Plymouth, Sutton. She will certainly make sure that I take a very close interest in what we can do to help resolve the problem.
Linda Gilroy (Plymouth, Sutton) (Lab/Co-op): I thank the Minister for that response. May I urge him to look at the work that is being done in response to the interim report on the Walker review of charging and metering for water and sewerage services? I urge him to receive a copy of the work done by the all-party group, which I chair, and of which the hon. Member for St. Ives is a member.
Jim Knight: I look forward to looking at the work of the Walker review and that of the all-party group. I am very happy to meet with members of the all-party group to discuss its work and report and to determine what action I can reasonably take forward with the water company and its regulator.
Richard Younger-Ross (Teignbridge) (LD): The Walker review has set out a number of proposals and alternatives. One proposal recognises, for the first time, the need to have an equalisation scheme for the cost of infrastructure charges across the UK. That would have to be retrospective to have any effect; otherwise the people in the South West Water area would just end up picking up the infrastructure charges for the rest of the country. Does the Minister believe that such a scheme could be retrospective?
Jim Knight: For me to give a view on that here and now would be to get into dangerous territory. Tempting as it might be, there are always difficulties regarding retrospection, with which the hon. Gentleman and other
Schools (Funding)
3. Mr. Geoffrey Cox (Torridge and West Devon) (Con): What recent representations the Government office for the south-west has received from its regional partners on levels of per capita funding for schools in the south-west. [290608]
Jim Knight: I can confirm to the hon. and learned Gentleman that there have been no recent representations to the Government office for the south-west from its regional partners on levels of per capita funding for schools in the south-west. However, I can say from personal experience that they are not backward in making direct representations to the relevant Minister in the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Mr. Cox: A Devon schoolchild receives £410 less in schools funding than the national average. Does the Minister really think that that is fair? Given the huge extra costs of providing education across a large rural county such as Devon, can he justify that? What, after 12 years, is his Government going to do to address the iniquity?

Yet another major milestone in the three-year life of Mystery Car has arrived, the 150 mark, out on Drive On's Forum. It's always hard to choose one of our milestone MCs, so this time we opted for something that seems like it could be tough to figure out.
Auto detective ADK, who was first to figure out last week's Mystery Car 149 offering, gave us a mighty good suggestion. But we decided to hold that one for another day. Instead, you're stuck with this little red sporty model.
So it's only appropriate that first and foremost, we thank all of you for keeping our Mystery Car feature fresh and fun these past years. We've said it before: We always expect to run out of cars -- or at least ones where we can get pictures without violating copyright laws -- and some new ones keep popping up.
As for Mystery Car 150, can you tell us the year, make and model? DON'T ANSWER HERE. Rather, go directly to Drive On's Forum, the only place we look for the answer to the Mystery Car. We'll tell you who was first to get it right here on Drive On next week.

Unbiased, accurate laboratory results can improve quality, avoid disputes, and save you time and money. Most state and federal projects require technician and laboratory certification. In the private sector, a number of contract requirements, ACI codes, and specifications require that testing agencies meet ASTM E 329, "Standard Practice for Use in the Evaluation of Testing and Inspection Agencies as Used in Construction." Buying testing equipment is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to setting up a laboratory. It is also important to have the right people trained in the right procedures. This is not just a matter of knowing how to perform tests, but understanding the hows and whys of the tests and what the results mean. Accreditation is a formal recognition that a laboratory is competent to carry out specific tests or calibrations or types of tests or calibrations. Accreditation signifies a laboratory's credibility. There are numerous organizations that will provide accreditation for laboratories of all ranges. Which tests an individual laboratory will carry out depends on what ends the lab is trying to achieve. In many cases it is easier and more cost effective to subcontract out rather than purchase equipment necessary for tests. If you do purchase your own lab equipment, it must be maintained and calibrated periodically. Other costs will include materials, lab records and reports, record keeping, maintaining quality systems, training, annual certification fees and repair costs.

Heart Walk draws crowd
Tom Broadwater, this year's Fayette County Heart Walk spokesperson, was diagnosed with heart disease several weeks before his son died of cancer.
Doctors at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh told Broadwater he needed a pacemaker and bypass surgery to save his life.
Broadwater told the doctors he couldn't undergo the surgery because his son was dying of cancer. Doctors did surgery to implant a pacemaker in his heart and sent him home to spend the final days with his dying son.
"My son died one week and one day after I came home from the hospital," he said as his eyes filled with tears. "My son is now in heaven with the angels.
"After my son died, I went to the hospital to have the surgery. It was very difficult, but I made it through the surgery and the recovery. I actually had one foot in the grave. But I'm alive today because of the American Heart Association and all of you."
Broadwater addressed the crowd just minutes before the 22nd annual Heart Walk began on Saturday morning at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus, in North Union.
Tricia Desvarro, the Fayette County Division director for the American Heart Association, said she expected an estimated 300 people to participate in the fundraising event. This year's goal was to raise $65,000.
"It's a beautiful day for the Heart Walk," Desvarro told the crowd. "It isn't raining. The weather hasn't been this nice in years. We're hoping that the nice weather brings more people out."
Desvarro said money raised at the event will be used to fund medical research and education.
"As you know, this event is very important to help raise lifesaving funds for the American Heart Association," she said. "This Heart Walk and the other heart walks that are taking place locally and nationally are a great opportunity for us to promote health and wellness throughout the community and to raise funds to combat the number one health issue among families, friends and co-workers."
Desvarro said she has been involved with the American Heart Association for the past 17 years.
"Each year we are so thankful for the outpouring of support from our Fayette County residents," she said. "I am happy that so many of you also understand the importance of helping the American Heart Association to continue heart research and education."
Ed Francyzk, president of United Bank and his wife, Judy, served as this year's chairman and co-chairman for the event.
Francyzk said he decided to become involved in the Heart Walk because his mother died of heart disease when she was 60. The disease also claimed the lives of his mother-in-law and grandmother. His cousin's baby underwent surgery to repair a hole in her heart when she was only 2 months old.
"When I was asked to serve as this year's chairman, I thought it was time for Judy and I to give back to the American Heart Association and the community," Francyzk said.
Francyzk will pass the leadership role to Ed Balling of Fairchance, who will serve as the chairman of the 2014 Fayette County Heart Walk.
Desvarro introduced 2-year-old Shoby Fronczek and her parents, Jason and Trish, to the crowd. Jason and Trish are Laurel Highlands High School graduates who now live in the Pittsburgh area.
"We found out the day she was born that Shoby had a hole in her heart," Jason Fronczek said. "Doctors did the surgery to repair her heart when she was only 2 months old. We've been told that our daughter is going to live a full, healthy life."

One of the sweetest moments from Sunday night's Tony Awards show was when Hugh Jackman's wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, surprised her hubby with a special achievement award. She told him she was going "off to the loo," but wound up on stage.
More: The Tonys minute-by-minute
She joked that Jackman has been on the Les Miserables set for months, and added there's nothing more romantic than having her first night together with him spent "with 12 million people watching."
Jackman thanked her, saying: "I know you hate public speaking. This is probably the greatest thing you've ever done for me."

August 2: Bob Dylan: 5th recording session for Highway 61 Revisited in 1965
"I never wanted to write topical songs,…. Have you heard my last two records, Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61? It's all there. That's the real Dylan."
~Bob Dylan (to Frances Taylor – Aug 1965)
"Highway 61 Revisited is the product of a series of recording session in which Dylan is performing at his peak, pure creativeness, sheer intensity, inspired by and pulling forth equivalent performances from the musicians around him. Whichever way he turns, something new and remarkable happens."
~Paul Williams (Bob Dylan Performing Artist I: The Early Years 1960-1973)
Studio A
Columbia Recording Studios
New York City, New York
2 August 1965

An unlisted
The Core Plus Industrial Fund bought the 11.9 hectare Smithfield property from TransGrid.
The fund's manager, Paul Ford, said the site was attractive because of its location in Sydney's mid-west.
"The Smithfield/Wetherill Park and Greystanes markets provide quite a large number of captive tenants that have a strong desire to stay in the area, with a number of pre-lease negotiations already well progressed," he said.
Mr Ford said the fund tended to acquire properties in land-constrained markets rather than on the city fringe, where there was an oversupply.
Jones Lang LaSalle's Andrew Maher and Casey Greenberg negotiated the deal. JLL said the site was the last remaining super lot in Sydney's inner ring and the development was expected to attract significant interest from potential tenants.
The acquisition came after the fund in March bought a half stake in the Metcash Regional Distribution Centre in Canning Vale, south of Perth, for $61.5 million and settled on a $70 million distribution centre acquisition in Tasmania. Charter Hall this month flagged plans to establish a listed industrial trust.

Final Meinl Drum Festival Preparations
hola from mexico city. what a crazy place! i'm stunned again and again everytime i visit this gigantic city.
the reason me and chris are here is to meet with our mexican distributor gonher. they are putting together our second international drum festival. we have had a great meeting today and went through all the final details that need to be taken care of like logistics, equipment, hotels, exhibition, venue, audio, video, security, and much more.
all in all, everything is perfefectly on track and we are all very excited to finally do it. july 13 will be the day. all line-up info can be found on meinldrumfestival.com as usual.
and now? once again, tomorrow i'll be taking another very long nonstop flight back to germany. at least that is what i hope, considering that another icelandic vulcano, this time it goes by the name of "grimsvoetn", won't cause any problems to the transatlantic air traffic. please spare me!
