Jester's 4th of July Parade by Social Chairman, Teresa Gouldie
Excited children and grandchildren of our Jester residents gathered at Jester Club for our annual 4th of July Parade, and they were a sight to behold! Dressed in patriotic red, white, and blue, they had decorated their bicycles, wagons, strollers, and even pets! Led by a colorfully decorated golf cart, they paraded down Jester Blvd, around Basil, and back to the club. Thanks to the people on the parade route who came out of their homes to cheer them on…the kiddos always love an audience! Upon returning to the club, the children realized the fun had only just begun! Awaiting them were a variety of activities including a ball toss, coloring sheets, and the always popular prize walk. Various prizes included red, white & blue erasers, sunglasses, necklaces, and visors. Parents and children alike donned colorful hats for photos and a great time was had by all. As always, this event would not have been possible without the efforts of many people: Eva Wisser, Alyssa Drury, Terry, Stacey, Carter and Kalen Hull, Mike Parker, Kevin, Kaitlin, Sean and Caroline Moore, Robert Paulsen, Bryce Bayles, Darlene Rutland, Amy McCampbell, Alejandro Asenjo, and Dallas and Diana Webster and pups! A special thanks goes to Jester Club for providing the location and Billy Gouldie for donating a golf cart to use. If you would like to volunteer for our Halloween event, please call me at 751-8000. We always need help in preparing the week before, as well as assistance on the day of the event itself. Any bit of time you could spare would be greatly appreciated!

NatureWatch by Jim and Lynne Weber
Many of us have heard the sayings "Red on black, friend of Jack, red on yellow, kill a fellow" or "Red against black, venom lack" as a way for us to distinguish between non-venomous lookalike snakes, and the venomous coral snake. Over 65 species of coral snakes are recognized in the New World, but in Texas we have our own version. The Texas Coral Snake (Micrurus tener), actually ranges from the south central US (Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas) south to northeastern and central Mexico. Texas coral snakes have the traditional black, yellow, and coral red banding coloration encircling the body that is associated with all coral snakes. They are slender snakes with smooth scales, eyes with round pupils, and average two feet in length. Males are typically smaller than females, but both are shy and secretive, typically nocturnal and spending most of their time hiding under logs, in leaf litter, or in ground burrows. Fairly common in the Austin area, they typically feed on other smaller snakes and occasionally lizards, and are often attracted to suburban yards and gardens where they can more easily find their prey. While no deaths have occurred in Texas from a coral snake bite, their venom is a powerful neurotoxin that causes neuromuscular dysfunction. Usually encountered by people when weeding or gardening, coral snakes do have a hard time injecting venom into a human because of their small, blunt head and short, fixed fangs. Bites usually occur on the hand or in between fingers, and the snake has to chew in order to inject the venom. Most people don't allow them to hang on long enough to do much serious damage, but anyone bitten by a coral snake should seek medical attention immediately. Much debate has ensured about whether or not the Texas Coral Snake's bold coloration in and of itself acts as a warning signal to potential predators, but recent studies have shown that this coloration is only effective when combined with the coral snake's distinctive threat behavior. When confronted, they will raise their yellow- and black-banded tail tip and slowly wag it at the threat (presumably mimicking a strike with their similarly colored head), all while keeping their head safely and neatly tucked under a body coil. If you are lucky enough to run across this native red & yellow fellow, remember that Texas Coral Snakes are an integral part of our ecosystem, and enjoy their striking colors and distinctive pattern from a distance!

WELCOME COMMITTEE NEWS Since our last article, the Welcome Committee was happy to deliver 8 bags to new residents. Whew! Even with so many deliveries, there were 6 we couldn't do because the residents either weren't moved in yet, or weren't home when we tried. Deliveries were made to:
Guadeloupe, Ivan and Sophia on Bottlebrush
Carolyn and Jason on the 7400 block of Teak Cove. They've been in the house for several months, but we had missed them earlier. Guadeloupe and Ivan with their daughter Sophia on the 8000 block of Bottlebrush. They moved here from San Francisco, but before that, they lived in Argentina.
Scott and Theresa on Anaqua
Theresa and Scott with children Owen (3 years old) and Lucy (1 year) on the 7400 block of Anaqua. They moved here from Avery Ranch. Suzanne and Mark with their dog Pauline on the 8000 block of Jester Blvd. They've been residents of Austin since the 60's but most recently lived in South Austin. Traci and Scott with children Braden and Sydney on the 7200 block of Rusty Fig. They were recently renting a home in Jester after moving from Steiner Ranch, and are happy to be in their own home. Joe and Katie with toddler Piper (11 months) on the 7300 block of Foxtree Cove. They just returned to Austin after living in New York City.
Suzanne and Mark on 8000 block of Jester
Fady and Yassmin with 7 year old twins Nour and Maryam and toddler Julie (18 months). They were renting in Great Hills after moving from Dubai. Josh and Jessica with children Grayson (5) and James (3) and their dog Blue on the 7200 block of Rusty Fig. They're long time Austinites who moved from Westlake. We're still hearing stories of new residents having to make offers on multiple houses before being successful – one new resident said the 4th time was the charm! Jester is certainly a very desirable area in a very desirable city. If you have a new resident in your block, please introduce yourself and see if there are any questions you can answer. We love hearing that new residents have been welcomed before we are able to deliver Welcome bags. Please contact JoAnn Welles at (512) 346-0349 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you've moved to Jester lately and we haven't welcomed you officially. We may have tried to deliver a bag to you but not found you home.

A Focus on Heat Emergencies Healthy Tips To Stay Cool In Extremely Hot Weather By: Concentra Urgent Care
Heat emergencies fall into three categories of increasing severity: Heat Cramps, Heat Exhaustion, and Heatstroke. Heat illnesses are easily preventable by taking precautions in hot weather. Children, elderly, and obese people have a higher risk of developing heat illness. People taking certain medications or drinking alcohol also have a higher risk. However, even a top athlete in superb condition can succumb to heat illness if he or she ignores the warning signs. If the problem isn't addressed, heat cramps (caused by loss of salt from heavy sweating) can lead to heat exhaustion (caused by dehydration), which can progress to heatstroke. Heatstroke, the most serious of the three, can cause shock, brain damage, organ failure, and even death. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Heat Cramps • Sweating • Dizziness and lightheadedness • Pain in arms, legs, and abdomen • Headache and confusion • Heat Exhaustion • Nausea and vomiting • Moist, pale skin • Rapid pulse and breathing • Fatigue and fainting Heat Stroke • No sweating • Rapid pulse • Dry, hot, red skin • Temperature over 103º F • Confusion/loss of consciousness • Seizures CAUSES: The following are common causes of heat emergencies: • High temperatures or humidity • Medications, such as diuretics, • Dehydration neuroleptics, phenothiazines, • Prolonged or excessive exercise and anticholinergics • Excess clothing • Cardiovascular disease • Alcohol use WHAT TO DO IN HEAT EMERGENCIES... First Aid 1. Have the person lie down in a cool place. Elevate the person's feet about 12 inches. 2. Apply cool, wet cloths (or cool water directly) to the person's skin and use a fan to lower body temperature. Place cold compresses on the person's neck, groin, and armpits. 3. If the person is alert, give cool water or sports beverages. It's advisable to drink slowly and steadily, particularly if they are experiencing nausea. 4. For muscle cramps, give beverages as above, and massage and stretch affected muscles gently, but firmly, until they relax. 5. If the person shows signs of shock (bluish lips and fingernails, and decreased alertness), starts having seizures, or loses consciousness, call 911 and continue cooling procedures, as described above. DO NOT: • DO NOT underestimate the seriousness of heat illness, especially Copyright © 2013 Peel, Inc.
if the person is a child, elderly, or injured. • DO NOT give the person medications that are used to treat fever (such as aspirin or acetaminophen). They will not help, and they may be harmful. • DO NOT give the person salt tablets. • DO NOT give the person liquids that contain alcohol or caffeine. They will interfere with the body's ability to control its internal temperature. • DO NOT use alcohol rubs on the person's skin. • DO NOT give the person anything by mouth (not even salted drinks) if the person is vomiting or unconscious. PREVENTION: • Wear loose-fitting, lightweight clothing in hot weather. • Rest regularly in a cool area; seek shade when possible. • Avoid strenuous physical activity in hot or humid conditions. • Drink plenty of fluids every day. Drink more fluids before, during, and after physical activity. • Be especially careful to avoid overheating if you are taking drugs that impair heat regulation, or if you are overweight or elderly. • Be careful of hot cars in the summer. Allow the car to cool off before getting in. • Avoid heavy meals and hot foods.

Confession time. After years of bivocational ministry, I recently became a "full-time" pastor. The schedule adjustment and some other life changes had me pretty busy and I dropped the ball on the Creative Ministry group for a little while. Well I'm back and I'm hoping to grow this group so we can help each other out. If you agree that the church should be the most creative place in town, or if you'd just like to connect (or re-connect) your faith and creativity, we'd love to have you join us.

Continuing our series of the 20 best albums of each year, we turn our eyes towards 2001. 2001 was a bit of an odd year, in that there were a bunch of albums I really like that were released, but overall the selection of albums seems a little more meager than other years on the list. Nevertheless! Here's Good-Evil's crew with their top 20 albums for 2001.
Why it's on this list: Steev Mike. Either you know him, or you don't. Doesn't really matter either way, because Steev Mike would love this album. Andrew W.K. brings the party with I Get Wet, and boy does he bring it well. I listen to it every Friday after work. It is the ultimate weekend record. All of the songs are based around repetitive guitar riffs and catchy piano lines, along with lots of shouting, fist pumping and beer chugging. It is one of those things you either get, or you don't. He has since never really recaptured that wonderful cover image of a long haired, homeless looking man in a filthy white T, sporting a busted nose that's blown ten pints worth of blood onto his chest. That's fine, because this album is a sonic uppercut straight into your jaw, primed to blow off the top of your skull. Long live the party. – Mike Callahan Recommended Tracks: Party Hard Ready To Die (link) Party Til You Puke (link) I Get Wet (link)
Why it's on this list: The Cult faded into obscurity after the early 1990's. After releasing a string of successful albums in the 80's, the band would eventually break up in the mid-nineties. They later reformed in 1999 and decided to make new music. Beyond Good and Evil came out in 2001 and surprised fans and critics who had written the band off as dead. This album is soaked with heavy guitar riffs that come at you like a Mike Tyson upper cut. Billy Duffy deserves some serious recognition for his guitar work because he is the one that keeps this album chugging along. Beyond Good and Evil also contains two ballads that fit in well with the rest of the album. They break up the hard rock at just the right points and are good songs in their own rights. What makes this album so great is that The Cult was coming back from a long hiatus and no one thought they had any good music left in them. Beyond Good and Evil proved a lot of people wrong. – Charlie Goodrich Recommended tracks: Rise War (the Process) (link) Nico
Why it's on this list: Oh man, this is the quintessential Daft Punk studio album (otherwise, my vote would go to their live album, Alive 2007, but more on that another time). I usually place a great emphasis on intricate and complex song constructions but Daft Punk are an exception to this preference, and songs like Face To Face and High Life provide such catchy and iterative tunes that it's impossible to not hum or bop you head along with it. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger is also one of the most cleverly arrange songs I have ever heard: two sets of interlaced lyrics are first sung independent of each other, but as the song continues the lyrics weave together and a new meaning emerges. Flangers and pitch benders are expertly used to modify vocals, smooth and muffled tones create evocative soundscapes (as in Nightvision), and the layering of music and vocals coalesce into a fabric that lends this album its epic nature. – Sherv Recommended Tracks: Harder Better Faster Stronger One More Time (link) Face To Face (link) High Life (link Voyager Nightvision Superheroes
Why it's on this list: Following their debut album, Explosions in the Sky changed things up a bit and began moving toward what would become their signature sound. Boomy and anthemic, this album lives up to their name much more. It's hard to define what makes Explosions in the Sky enjoyable, and it seems most people love them or don't. In the world of post-rock this record helped give a new dimension to the already loosly defined genre, and that is important enough. – Andrew Raub Recommended Tracks: Greet Death (High quality) Greet Death (Funny vid) (link)
Why it's on this list: If this truly is Fugazi's last album, it is their swan song. They've taken all the techniques they've used in their entire discography and incorporated them in The Argument expertly. The one element I've always loved most about Fugazi is the dynamics between Guy Picciotto and Ian MacKaye. Their back and forth vocals and winding guitars are always done tastefully. Your ears did not deceive you, there are two drummers there keeping the percussion interesting. Some of the strongest songs are the more somber laid back ones. "Life and Limb" gives off a sort of 60's Acid Rock feel to it with yo-yo guitars. Guy and Ian sing a tripped out chorus until the song comes full circle into an unusual guitar solo complete with claps. It's just a really fun song to listen to. At the other end of the spectrum, the songs that rock realllly rock. "Epic Problem" is well…epic. It's presented in a telegram format with stop and go tempo "Congratulations. Stop. Wish I could be there. Stop." It all transitions smoothly into what is one of the greatest endings to a song ever. One that begs to be blasted with the windows open. Hopefully Fugazi comes back from their "hiatus" which seems to be a trend in band these days. I have a feeling they have a lot left in the tank. – Matt Gulbrandsen Recommended Tracks: Epic Problem Full Disclosure (link) Life and Limb (link) The Kill (link) Strangelight (link)
Why it's on this list: Coming seemingly out of nowhere, Gorillaz came into the pop world as a cartoon band that blended pop, rock, dub, and hip-hop. The video for "Clint Eastwood" was enough to make me (and many others) fans of this gimmick. But gimmick or not, this self titled debut is packed with enough quality to show that the Gorillaz are more than just a cartoon schtick. Their subsequent albums are much less cheery and playful, and the debut remains a unique mark in their career. – Andrew Raub Recommended Tracks: Clint Eastwood 19-2000 (link)
Why it's on this list: On top of never expecting to hear Mike Patton crooning sensual verses in such a romantic manner, I never expected to actually like it. Man, Patton and Jennifer Charles are the most sultry, seductive, and erotic duet of our era. It stands unique in its genre within my music collection due to its intrinsically overtly sexual nature, but I find myself putting it on every so often as I pour a glass of wine, dim the lights, and cozy up next to a lady friend /sleaze. – Sherv Recommended Tracks: Book of the Month To Catch a Thief (link Sex (I'm A)
Why it's on this list: The Glow Pt. 2 is one of those rare but entirely magical albums that listeners will either love or hate. It's easy to compare to Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea: acoustic guitars, ambiguous and sometimes whiny vocals, noise, periods of beauty, lo-fi, etc… Generally fans of one will be fans of the other but probably for entirely different reasons. While Jeff Mangum pulls at heartstrings through his fierce vocals and wild attack on his acoustic guitar, here Phil Elvrum is much more delicate when he sings. The melodies are gentle and the songs are often very ethereal. This album tricks listeners by starting strong and seeming like it is going to be filled with verse-chorus songs. However it quickly changes into songs with minimal vocals, focusing much more on ethereal short compositions. And while much of the album is gentle, there are spats of noisy and explosive songs such as the beginning of "The Glow Pt. 2" and "Samurai Sword". It's a strange, depressing album, but it's hard not to feel a spurious connection to it and see the bizarre genious in its creation. Each time I listen to The Glow Pt. 2 I want more and more to know what the creative process and emotional atmosphere behind this album was. – Andrew Raub Recommended Tracks: The Glow Pt. 2 The Moon (link)
Why it's on this list: I first bought this album when I was in Nantucket, MA in what was the only record shop on the island. The owner was Scottish and told me "Mogwai, those are my boys". I could see why. I quickly unwrapped the package and popped the CD into my trusty Sony Walkman. It was the most appropriate album for the time. The band with the name taken from Gremlins won me over. I ended up going on a whale watch that day and didn't take my headphones off once. The most perfect moment was standing at the front of the boat listening to "2 Rights Make 1 Wrong" – a beautiful instrumental for a beautiful day and all was at peace. It's the most uplifting moment on the album and it comes after a series of dreary songs that you would listen to while sipping a beer and having a "woah is me" moment. In a dimly lit bar, you could easily listen to "Take Me Somewhere Nice", "Secret Pint" or "Dial Revenge" in the background. They truly represent their hometown, Glasgow, Scotland. This was my first taste of Mogwai and not the last. They kept me drinking their catalog until the very last drop. I suggest you do the same and promise that there is no hangover afterward. – Matt Gulbrandsen Recommended Tracks: 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong Sine Wave (link) Take Me Somewhere Nice (link) Dial Revenge (link)
Why it's on this list: I didn't really get into Neurosis until 2007 with the release of their album "Given to the Rising" (which also shows up on this list later on), but once I did, I felt the need to rediscover the back catalog of theirs that I missed. I had purchased this album a couple years previous to GttR, but couldn't really appreciate it until I absorbed GttR and listened to it with a more open ear. When I did, I was absolutely pummeled by the heavier tracks and entranced by the mellower ones. "The Tide" starts off rather haunting and turns into an aggressive assault by the end, always building on the earlier themes of the song with ease and never growing tired throughout its eight minute duration. Better still, the closing track "Stones from the Sky" is a near ten minute track in 3 / 4 time that starts out haunting with a clean guitar and bell samples and grows into a crushing wall of sound by the end. Neurosis are definitely an acquired taste, but their songwriting and their clean, yet rather raw recordings are something that really draw you in. I know I'm a lifelong fan at this point and they can do no wrong to my ears. – Jason Vincion Recommended Tracks: The Tide A Sun That Never Sets (link) Stones from the Sky (link)
Why it's on this list: Blackwater Park is one of the best metal albums ever. It is one of my personal favorite albums of all time. Every song is precisely crafted. Akerfeldt's vocals both crush and soar, which is a magical thing. Opeth's career is based around the give and take of unrelenting metal parts juxtaposed with delicate acoustic passages, and it works no better than on this album. Every song with the exceptions of Harvest and Patterns In The Ivy sway between these two styles, and each of them does it masterfully. It is one of the few albums where I can listen through it, non-stop, over and over and over again. This is one of metal's finest examples of awe-inspiring music – a reason why I'm proud to call myself a "metalhead". – Mike Callahan Recommended Tracks: The Leper Affinity Harvest (link) The Drapery Falls (link) Blackwater Park (link)
Why it's on this list: 2001 was the year that I spent a lot of time playing Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast with my good friend Brandon and these songs have been ingrained in my head because of that. I can't remember ever turning off the sound and putting on a CD because the music was that well-suited to the game. Even though the pieces were short and looped fairly frequently, they never got old and fit extremely well with the game. Not all of the music was just atmospheric, as there is one theme that really sticks out with its strong rhythms and atmospheres, and that is the track for the Pioneer 2 spaceship. It's basically the only city in the game, so you hear the song quite a bit when you go back to buy new items or heal up your character. I can safely say that this soundtrack was likely a big influence on all of my forays into the electronic genre. The sound is incredibly lush and I love how atmospheric the album is. Had it not been for the soundtrack for this game, I wouldn't have been inspired to make "Mindtrap" or "Dark Side of Zebes", or have such an interest in listening to and creating lots of atmospheric music. – Jason Vincion Recommended Tracks: A Song for Eternal Story Pioneer 2 (link) Mother Earth of Dishonesty Part 1 (link)
Why it's on this list: It's remarkably difficult to put into words why Blue Screen Life is one of my favorite albums of the entire decade, not just for 2001. A quick listen through of the album might lead one to believe it's a generally listenable chill record that doesn't particularly stand out in any one way. That's what I thought when I first heard it, but something kept me coming back to it. I think as you listen to it more, the mood and the atmosphere of the album begin to seep under your skin. It's a generally downtempo and sad album that's best taken in by yourself, one that I've found myself playing late at night when I can't sleep or when I need something to listen to while lost in thought. It's also a deceptively complex album musically and lyrically, as the arrangements are sophisticated and engaging, while the lyrical flow and the back and forth between Crow and Smith is both soothing and inviting, bringing me back to the album over and over for more listens. One of my true go-to records anytime I need a soundtrack to slow things down in my life. – Zach Patterson Recommended Tracks: Tres Penelope (link) Offline P.K. (link)
Why it's on this list: Kid A is generally seen as the "big risk" Radiohead took that succeeded in taking the band to new heights of fame and acclaim. As Mike said in the 2000 article, it was a weird album, but it was also a great album. Oddly, I don't think I ever gave a damn about Radiohead until the sister album, Amnesiac, was released the next year. Amnesiac generally doesn't get enough credit for being as great as it was. I don't think I would like Radiohead today if it wasn't for Amnesiac. While Kid A and Amnesiac will always go hand in hand, to me Amnesiac was the point where the band just "clicked" for me. The lush layered instrumentation mixed with the numbing lyrics and voice of Thom Yorke in the single "Pyramid Song" just instantly resonated with me. And as I dug deeper into the album, I came to love the experimentalism, the electronic fiddling, the re-emergence of guitars and piano, the swelling sense of tension, the dream-like feel to the entire album. After a summer of listening to Amnesiac in 2001 and then giving Kid A a second chance, suddenly I got what I dismissed casually in grade school and Radiohead has since been an essential band for me. – Zach Patterson Recommended Tracks: I Might Be Wrong Pyramid Song (link) You And Whose Army (link) Knives Out (link
Why it's on this list: This is another album I discovered through following Norwegian bands, though they're decidedly different than the mostly metal fare that I had been listening to at the time. Unlike Ulver, Röyksopp's "Melody A.M." is definitely more accessible fare that falls in the downtempo genre. The songs on the album vary from the extremely mellow "Sparks" to the hard driving and highly danceable "Poor Leno". There are lots of analog synths present that give it a bit of a 1970s feel, but the songwriting is definitely modern. Certain songs are graced with vocals, and those that are definitely benefit from them. The aforementioned "Sparks" features the vocals of Anneli Drecker, who sings for the dream pop act Bel Canto (also of Norwegian origin), and she gives a very haunting performance on the song. Like all of the other albums I've reviewed, this one is influential to my own work in that the duo of Torbjorn Brundtland and Svein Berge have created some amazingly textured work on this album that's lively, yet mellow at the same time. This is an outstanding album to put on when chilling out or road tripping, and it's been ranked the best album of the decade by Norway's most widely-read tabloid, so I know my opinions are well-founded (lol). – Jason Vincion Recommended Tracks: Eple Sparks (link) Poor Leno (link) Remind Me (link)
Why it's on this list: My friend (the same who inadvertently introduced me to Deltron 3030) described these guys as "awesome fake Middle Eastern music". Being originally from the region, this music isn't quite like anything to be found there but it certainly borrows some interesting qualities. I find that this album is a hit-or-miss experience as it's not easy to pick up and just listen to. It's on this list because of how unique I found it, a mix of modern and traditional elements combined in a novel manner. – Sherv Recommended Tracks: Zulfiqar III Horsemen of the Invisible Ship of Fools (Stone of Exile)
Why it's on this list: Though often seen flying the black metal flag, Japan's Sigh actually have a diverse musical gene pool and take inspiration from a myriad of genres. This was first evident on their 2001 release, "Imaginary Soniscape," which had just as much to do with 60's psychedelia and Beatles-derived pop rock as it did with anything that could be called metal. Sure, the vocals may fit the "metal" description well enough, but all the synths and bongos and clapping don't conjure any images I ever associated with the genre. Always different in an "out there" kinda way and truly in a class of it's own, "Imaginary Soniscape" is a weird voyage into a bizarre dimension of sound and color with some of the best riffs I've ever heard in or outside of metal. I don't know what dimension Sigh slipped off into to make this album, but wherever this thing came from, it's heavy, weird, and glorious all at once. Keep doing your thing, Sigh. – Matt Gburek Recommended Tracks: Slaughtergarden Suite Ecstatic Transformation (link)
Why it's on this list: The history of why the Toadies took 7 years to release a second album after Rubberneck would be another article all together, but in the long run, it doesn't matter why an album
took nearly a decade to put out, it matters if it is good or not. And while everyone remembers "Possum Kingdom" as their sole claim to fame from Rubberneck, Hell Below Stars Above is a remarkably polished and intense rock record. From the second the album begins with "Plane Crash" it's a loud, brash, hard Texas rock album with punk leanings, but also has a softer side on the second half of the album with some pretty ballads that are surprisingly touching and curve away from being overly sappy, notably "Dollskin" being one of my favorites. Perhaps the song that best shows why this is one of the best albums of 2001 is the title track, which sums up everything you need to know about this album. It's a bombastic and intense punk song which somehow morphs into a slower gospelly love song, complete with the backing choir and everything. It's kinda silly and kinda awesome, a perfect cherry on top of an already great album, and it's one of those songs that makes you realize "goddamn this album rules." – Zach Patterson Recommended Tracks: Hell Below/Stars Above Plane Crash (link) Dollskin (link)
Why it's on this list: After Ænema, it was tough to listen to anything that Tool put out. It was a flawless record and should be on everyone's CD shelf. How could they have topped it? While they haven't, Lateralus comes pretty damn close. A grower that has rewarded me with repeat listening and revisits, my love for it finally kicked in while listening to "The Patient" through a nice pair of Grado SR80's. The album gives me a kind of Metroid feel to it. I can't help but be reminded of Samus descending the elevator in her return to Zebes when I listen to "The Grudge". The title track "Lateralus" took all the strong points from Ænima and molded them into one "super" Tool song. Its' the nuances and production on this album carry it beyond the stellar performances put out by the band. To quote Zach in describing their live performance, "They are a well oiled machine". They are more than a machine, they are the Mother Brain of rock. – Matt Gulbrandsen Recommended Tracks: The Patient The Grudge (link) Parabola (link) Ticks and Leeches (link) Lateralus (link)
Why it's on this list: Three years after the expansive, epic, and organic sounding TNT Tortoise re-emerged to welcome the new millennia with an equally wonderful but entirely different sounding album. On Standards, Tortoise creates a quasi-futuristic atmosphere with tight grooves and many more electronic instruments and synthesizers. Instead of the gentle introduction on TNT, we are treated to a bombastic clash of fuzzed out guitar chords. Many of the songs sound like the Tortoise sideproject Isotope 217 but this is without a doubt a Tortoise album. What really sets this album apart is that it is the most dancable Tortoise album, making it a fun foray into the futuristic urban and spacey environments. – Andrew Raub Recommended Tracks: Seneca Monica (Live) (link)
|Tomahawk – Tomahawk – What do you get when you combine Mike Patton with members of The Jesus Lizard, Melvins, and Helmet? A fucking badass record. Great rockin' debut by one of my favorite Patton side projects. Love the unsettling, snarling feel the album has. – Zach
Listen: "Flashback" link
|Yura Yura Teikoku – III – Though they were virtually unknown outside of Japan for most of their career (and caused me to fall to my knees and weep uncontrollably by breaking up at the end of March this year), Yura Yura Teikoku were a seemingly infallible three piece psychedelic rock band whose mystery and unpredictability were among their greatest assets. Their 2000 release, "III," would be a textbook example of their musical scope, shimmering one moment and then outpouring speaker-blowing guitar fuzz the next. They will be missed dearly. – Matt Gb.

Lignocellulose is Earth's most abundant form of biomass and its valorization to H2 is a key objective for the generation of renewable fuels. Solar-driven photocatalytic reforming of lignocellulose to H2 at ambient temperature offers a sustainable route towards this goal, but this reaction is currently limited to noble-metal-containing systems that operate with low activity under ultraviolet light. Here, we report the light-driven photoreforming of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin to H2 using semiconducting cadmium sulfide quantum dots in alkaline aqueous solution. We show that basic conditions cause these dots to become coated with oxide/hydroxide in situ, presenting a strategy to improve their photocatalytic performance. The system operates under visible light, is stable beyond six days and is even able to reform unprocessed lignocellulose, such as wood and paper, under solar irradiation at room temperature, presenting an inexpensive route to drive aqueous proton reduction to H2 through waste biomass oxidation.

Former Alberta NDP leader Brian Mason is predicting Alberta Premier Jim Prentice may call a snap election early in the new year.
The Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood MLA made the bold prediction in a blog post Saturday. In it, he describes his concerns regarding the recent defection of nine Wildrose MLAs into the arms of the PC caucus and dubs Prentice as the "first Wildrose Premier".
"This defection is more than "uniting conservatives," writes Mason. "It shifts the balance of power in the Tory caucus, and prepares the political ground for a brutal restructuring of public services in Alberta. Jim Prentice it turns out, is Alberta's first Wildrose Premier."
Mason caps off his blog post, which can be read online at brianmasonndp.wordpress.com, by predicting Prentice will call a snap election prior to the 2016 fixed-election period, which states Alberta's next election will take place between March 1 and May 31, 2016.
"A very big social fight is coming very soon, perhaps beginning with a snap election," writes Mason.
Agreeing with the Mason's prediction are prominent political bloggers, Dave Cournoyer and Dave Climenhaga, who went so far as to say a snap election called in January would send Albertans to the polls in February.
Alberta Liberal leader Raj Sherman says it's conceivable that the premier could indeed call an early election but says, in the interest of democratic fairness, fixed-term election dates ought to be respected.
"It could happen. We don't know, but the Alberta Liberals are gearing up for an early 2015 election. In the off chance that it doesn't happen, we'll be even better prepared for an election later in the year or in 2016, " said Sherman.
One issue that might hinder an early election, Sherman explains, is that much of the current PC caucus is made up of MLAs from previous reigns — whether they're leftover from Alison Redford's time as Premier or MLAs who were elected under Ed Stelmach's leadership in 2008. An early election may not give Prentice enough time to get candidates of his choosing into ridings.
"The question is, if the PCs are nominating new people in the seats that current PC MLAs have and are those candidates fully nominated — he can't call an early election if his candidates are not fully nominated," said Sherman.
With the Alberta Liberals and the Wildrose party boasting five MLAs the battle to be named official opposition is on. On Monday, remaining Wildrose MLAs will gather in Calgary to announce a new interim leader.
However, Sherman is adamant a Liberal opposition is what's best for Albertans, adding that the Wildrose party is too too similar to PC party to be an effective opposition.
"It doesn't make sense to have a right-wing, conservative government and a right-wing opposition that just agrees with everything," said Sherman. "Democracy is best served when you have someone who can hold the government accountable and is ideologically different."
Sherman hopes the Speaker of the House will name an opposition in the Legislature on Monday or Tuesday.

As I eyeballed Facebook this morning for the news of the day, a CNN link caught my attention. "Meteor blast injures 1,000 in Russia, and by the way there is this another even bigger rock that is headed right towards us." It's the making of movies and Mayan predictions that seem so unreal, but when reality strikes there is still a glaze of disbelief, fear in uncertainty and that big "this might be it" feeling. For me, that "Jesus you better be coming back soon" lump creeps the back of my throat.
This meteor phenomenon has never been more evident in the world of Christian publishing than in the past seven years. As a professional in the Evangelical Press for almost 16 years, I can honestly say it's a time like no other. A time of opportunity, with the advances of technology, for the capacity of the message of Christ's love to reach boldly where it's never gone before. It's also a time of testing, a time of trial by fire, where everything of passion is fired but there is that brick wall of disappointment as publishing houses shut their production and the print world as we know it is turned on it's head.
In many ways it is the best of worse-case scenarios, because we see the revelation signs, that reflect truth that's been blazed on our hearts and in our writings. And the reason that we do what we do—to see souls transformed by the love of Christ, so that we, His Church, would be prepared for His soon coming return.
I have seen my share of big fiery doomsday rocks heading right for the heart of the call God created in me—in the past seven years that seem, with the passing of the clock, to ramp up in intensity. I saw magazine upon magazine cut the fat and close it's doors. I sat in disbelief as ONCOURSE became the last teen publication standing, until the Susie reinvention of Brio.
It seems like nothing is immune to the pinch of economics, no matter how relevant or hip or needed in the marketplace. But through this time, I've also seen great mustard-seed miracles as resources dwindled, and so much more being accomplished, so many more being reached, with so much less. One of the most profound memories etched in my head was back in 2006, when I was one of those brought into an office and told I was going to have to find another job only to have God turn that around in the time span of less than a day. And here I am almost seven years later with the number one digital and print youth magazine in the nation, with a full-time staff of one.
That is God's unfolding faithfulness, even though in May I was faced with the transition to eMag and one print magazine a year. It is so awesome to be on the forefront of building ONCOURSE to reach a new generation taking full advantage of the digital era. I know that God remains faithful to carry the message where it needs to get, with time, patience and prayerful wisdom. He directs everything and His message never can be silenced.
As artists staying true to the Word, we need to know that this adversity comes to teach us something about the gift that is being uniquely unfolded in each of our lives. We also need to know that there is a target squarely aimed our heads because Satan would do anything to keep the message silent. We must keep these things front-and-center as the furnace is turned up in the last days before Christ's return. We must be faithful in prayer, faithful to His message, faithful to the tasking and faithful to His direction. We also must be faithful to the audience of one—because the one, not the thousands is our mission field.
One of the most profound quotes that I have ever heard in my life was during one of my interviews with "Veggie Tales" guru Phil Vischer: "God does not want us to focus on impact. He wants us to focus on Him. The impact that we dream of and hope for doesn't occur when we're pursuing impact. It occurs when we're pursuing God. You can't find God's passion or dream for your life when you're hanging onto your own."
We live in the reality of telling stories in the atmosphere of whatever will be. There are trends that point to a revival in print medium in the 35 and under crowd. But there is also the reality that time is short and we know that for Christians, as we approach the last days the work that we have to do will not get easier. We must anticipate in the whatever-may-comes all the distractions and discouragements and pitfalls to be thrown in our path—keeping us off task. But the reality is, that is what we signed up for, to be on the front lines-—and those rocks are zeroed in and headed right towards us. That's why we need to keep Galatians 6:9 in front of our faces: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (NIV).
We must not allow ourselves to grow weary in penning the story. We can't allow discouragement to settle in. We must seize every billboard in our reach to paint it, and if they pull those billboards down, we must be obedient to ask God to open our eyes to opportunities to build new ones.
As a fellow Christian communicator, I would encourage you, as you are going through your day, praying about the things you will say and the opportunities to make those divine-appointed connections to launch your writing ministry, take time to specifically pray for the world of Christian publishing. Pray for favor and mustard-seed miracle moments. The prayers of the faithful have the power to stop the sun. That's what God does because He hears the cries of His people. And at the end of the day we just carry the story that He pens in our hearts—all because of favor…all because of grace…all because of love. And it is the job of the Spirit to take it where it needs to go.

This winter, the effects of global warming are easy to spot. Some of them we like, and some of them are very difficult; but weather extremes abound! This is one of the significant influences in our world which are stimulating the process of ascension; so I thought a discussion of this subject was timely.
Global warming is a cycle of change for the planet which is the opposite swing from the cycles of the ice ages. My intuitive information tells me that 90% of the heating up of our world would be occurring even if there were no people present. So the good news is we aren't really to blame for that. However, what people are responsible for is a whole lot of environmental destruction caused by greedy and short sighted choices. The effects of those choices cause the already difficult changes in our world to compromise life on earth significantly.
Still, I don't blame people for that, I perceive that everyone and everything are the way they are for a purpose. As a Healing & Ascension Worker, I am guided to understand the mechanisms of change that act through everything for the greater good of all. That requires me to set aside my judgments and fears and to be objective enough to access the bigger picture for our world. I love to share this bigger picture with you, so that you can have confidence in life, even while so many things seem to be going seriously wrong.
The world, along with everything and everyone in it, need to undergo a breaking down process of approximately 40%. This creates the necessary physical weakness for our eternal and true spiritual selves to enter, change and lift everything into the new world. This change happens in steps, each one a little higher in vibration than the last. We have ahead of us 30 or so years of this process of incremental ascension steps, before we reach a collective level needed to enter into the new world in mass.
In case this idea is new to you, the new world is the goal and purpose for what we call the old world experience, which we have been undergoing since the dawn of time. The old world has been a time of building the facilities for our Higher Selves or as I termed it earlier, our eternal and true spiritual selves, to be able to live and act within the created reality on earth. The new world carries the potentials we have long desired to experience and have felt were possible for life, but have not been yet able to manifest. It will be built from and thrive on unconditional love. There are so many wonderful elements I foresee in the new world, and I look forward to when I can publish my book Riding the Wave of Change – Hope, Healing and Spiritual Growth for Our World, so that I can share more of that vision with you!
The process of breaking down the old world, while a difficult one, is 70% easier than it would have been if so many of us hadn't really opened ourselves to our Higher Selves and sought to partner with it in our lives. Keep up that inner relationship with your true selves so that your own journey can grow smoother and easier with practice. Unity with our true selves is what this journey is all about!
While I encourage you to trust this process and not to blame people for the roles we have played to damage our world, I also encourage you to support positive choices and responsible actions within our world. The destruction we are experiencing, in addition to creating the necessary breakdown of the old world, is a time when people can learn to choose love and to work for the greater good of all life on earth. That means working through whatever systems of spirituality, legislature, environmental agency, social reform or service organization inspires you and feels in harmony with your truth. It is challenging to work for the greater good without getting caught in judgment and fear, which traps you in the old world. This process will make all of us grow and ascend into greater unity with our Higher Selves if we will insist on working from unconditional love.
Unconditional love is tough love, it isn't a push-over. But it is strong in holding to inner integrity and wholeness. From that place of wholeness within, we can find our perfect level of contribution to the greater good for all. In this way we grow stronger in service, rather than sacrificing ourselves. This is also necessary as we ascend. There will be times when we stretch very far to help, but we do so from a place of wholeness, and for our own growth, not because we are sacrificing. Our job isn't to rescue others, but to live fully every day. So our service becomes the natural expression of our true selves, not a judgment that others are wrong or in need. Everyone and everything is eternal and safe and unbreakable in their true spiritual selves — always! What happens in this life, or what takes us out of it, are all temporary and purposeful.
In my own work for the planet and all who live on it, I was told recently that we don't have to heal the old world. It was never meant to last forever, but to die a bit so it can ascend and be reborn at a higher level. So when I see the death process, I have learned to work with the Higher Power to smooth that part of the journey, so it is as gentle as it can be and still accomplish its' goal. When I have communicated with whales, birds and other creatures whose numbers have been diminishing within our world, they assure me that they are entering the new world ahead of us and paving the way for all of us to come. Where they are dying here, they are being born into the new world and a greater state of unity and wholeness than ever before. We will be there too in the foreseeable future! I am excited!
Healing and Ascension Treatments are $10 off this month when you mention this post! You can contact me through my website and the link on this page to schedule. Thanks for Liking me on Facebook; it helps others find this work!
Enjoy this crazy weather and love yourself and our world this week! I love you, my ascending friends! Blessings, Eve
