10/19/2012- New LIVE Release, Farewell to the Historic Southgate House, NOV.10th
Join us (and the Whiskey Bent Valley Boys!) November 10th 2012 for the release of our first live album, Farewell To The Historic Southgate House! We recorded this sold out show last winter just a few days before the best venue in Cincinnati/Newport KY shut down. This place was a home to us and other DIY bands locally and all over the country. From punk to country to jazz to folk, bands brought it all to the Southgate House. We're sad to see it gone.
The good news is that we've got a new home. THE SOUTHGATE HOUSE REVIVAL is the new venue started by the old and trusted owners. Don't miss our first show at the new venue and the release of a memorial album to the old favorite.

1/15/2012- What a year! Past and Present.
Hello everyone. 2011 is over and what a year it was. From Texas to Okemah OK to New Orleans to Brooklyn NY to the far reaches of northern Wisconsin we traversed these great states. We'll never forget our friends on the road and folks we've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with, including another year with our hero Doc Watson. We will also fondly remember the wonderful benefit that we worked so hard to make happen, "To Sing With You Once More" www.tosingwithyouoncemore.com and tip our hats in remembrance of the great Southgate House.
We now venture into another year, and it's shaping up to be a good one for sure. Catch us in our hometown of Cincinnati for a few winter months. When the snow starts to melt we hit the road for our annual March tour (check out the dates and places under our shows link). The wheels continue to turn after that so keep checking out our website for added dates in a city, county, field, festival, basement or outhouse near you.
We love you all and thank you for your support in the old year. Keep on Tillin'!

8/23/2010- The Tillers -w- Doc Watson in Todd, NC!
Our big weekend has come to a close and what a weekend it was. Lexington Thursday, Johnson City Friday then off to Todd, NC on Saturday to meet Doc Watson. Upon arrival to the Blue Ridge Mountains we got off course a bit. Our all knowing GPS led us up dirt mountain roads to heights and roadside drops never seen by the "Gus Bus". Finally made it to the town of Todd where the real fun began. We played a great set in the rain but for a crowd that seemed not to notice. Next came Doc and the rain let up when he played "Keep on the Sunny Side". How about that! After the show we got to meet the legend himself. "You boys sure rattled the rafters" says Doc! What a great experience and one we'll NEVER forget.

The Tillers Welcome Brother Aaron Geil!
It's my privilege to announce the newest Tiller to the ranks, and the best man for the job. Aaron Geil will be our new bass player and it's official! Let's see, what can I tell ya about our new man. He's tall, dark, bearded and can thump a mean rhythm. He's also the brother of Tiller guitarist Sean, so we're keeping it in the family. Aaron has had his hand in many a musical project throughout his 29 years on this earth. Some even being shared with his bro. Groups featuring the brothers Geil include The Mount Pleasant String Band, hardcore/punk band Dead End Path and Floodwater Brown. If you caught The Tillers at 2009's Midpoint Music Festival then you've seen Aaron in action as he was filling in that show. In fact, Aaron has amazingly conquered most all songs we can throw at him from our vast repertoire already so we're not feeling any slow down whatsoever. So here we go! Get ready Aaron. We've got a busy year ahead... Cheers to the new bass man! Oneofus.Oneofus.Oneofus!

"Racin" Jason's Farewell
There has been much buzz recently, regarding our bass player Jason's decision to end his time with The Tillers project. I'll take this time to set the record straight. Most of you know Jason only as the hardcore old timey bass thumper, but his talents don't end there. No sir, He is also a professional sprint car driver and a damn good one at that! Jason's racing accomplishments have been many, including the top honor title of AMSA Points Champion in 2007. As a family, He, his Father and Grandfather have been the sole working hands of Soudrette Racing for many years. A family team that leaves all others in the dust, literally!
Unfortunately, the busier we get, the less time we have for the other things loved in our lives. Jason has decided to hang up his bass with The Tillers and head for the race track to dedicate more time and energy to his first love, racing! With the utmost respect we bid Jason a fond farewell and the best of luck on the track. I asked Jason to join the band not because he was a perfect specimen of a bass player. Shoot, he'd never even played the upright bass! I asked him because he is a true friend and I know that whatever he puts his heart into he never fails to accomplish. Jason is a stand up guy and we are glad to have him always as one of the three who got this Tiller moving. Keep your eye on #44 he will always do great things...
Come give Jason beers and high fives as he plays his farewell show this Saturday, Feb.13th, at The Crows Nest!!!

Tom Brokaw Presents American Character Along Highway 50 (featuring The Tillers)!
This past June 2009 we were visited by Tom Brokaw himself at my home in Cincinnati Ohio. He had found our song from the Ludlow Street Rag Album titled, 'There Is A Road (Route 50), and thought he'd come and see what we're all about. In July a small program featuring The Tillers called a "Dispatch from the Road" aired on the USA Network and then on The Today Show. The full documentary will air on the USA Network at 7:00pm EST TONIGHT! This was a great project that we are very proud to be a part of and we'll truly never forget. TUNE IN PEOPLE! http://www.usanetwork.com/highway50/profiles/the_tillers.html

|18 September 1944
|Make your way to the barricade.
Protect the barricade. Advance with your squad. Destroy the tank. Rendezvous to the south. Get to the tanks. Plant a smoke bomb on the tanks.
- "We control the south end of the bridge but we're under heavy counter attack. Our position is completely surrounded. We've no choice now but to stick it out and hold our ground until reinforcements arrive - whenever that may be."
- — Corporal Micheal Dabrowa, 6th Airborne Division
Arnhem Assault is the second mission of the British campaign in Call of Duty: Roads to Victory.
The barricade on the northern end of the bridge has spotted Panzers, so the player needs to get there to reinforce them. Head into the building immediately in front. Then advance through a series of rooms, with some light resistance from Germans. Upon exiting the building, the German tanks will fire on the player.
Grab the Panzerschreck, and take out the Panzers assaulting the barricade. A Tiger tank will appear; it will take several rockets to eliminate it. Once the player has destroyed the tanks, head right to the next objective.
Continue through the building. As an ally kicks open the door, a German will fire through it, killing him. Take him out, and head out into the street. Another tank will advance towards the player's position. Grab the Panzerschreck and take it out. Head into the building to the right, and quickly take out the German before he can get to the MG. Clear out the remainder of the Germans in the house, and head out. The player will be above a group of three tanks.
The player will need to flank the tanks, but the path to them is heavily guarded by Germans. Advance slowly, as the Germans have excellent cover and throw grenades constantly. Once the player makes it to the street, run straight to the tanks.
The player must now mark the tanks for an airstrike, so rush up and put some smoke on them in the same way one would plant a charge. Once the plane has taken out the tanks, the level is complete.
- Upon retaining the Panzerschreck and having activated the Unlimited Ammo cheat, one can still destroy the last tanks in the last walkthrough. But the player will still have to set up smoke for the aircraft to destroy them.

Here's an important factor to consider when terminating an employee who has recently complained about alleged discrimination of some sort: If she can show at least a tenuous connection between her complaint (like its timing) and her discharge, she will probably be able to proceed with her lawsuit. Her former employer won't get the case dismissed at least until discovery has occurred. And that can mean a ton of legal expenses.
Recent case: Vanessa, who is black and worked as a health care coding expert, claimed that a co-worker used a racially offensive term. The co-worker is white.
Vanessa complained to her supervisor, who is also white. The supervisor told Vanessa to "sleep on it," which she took to mean that she should think twice about raising a fuss. But Vanessa went to HR anyway and complained. She was fired five days later.
She sued, alleging race discrimination. Her former employer argued that the case should be dismissed because at most, Vanessa complained about an isolated co-worker comment. It said that wasn't enough to show Vanessa was fired on account of her race.
The court determined the case should continue. It said Vanessa should have an opportunity to prove that an employer that tolerated a racial comment and then dissuaded a black employee from complaining might then go ahead and fire her because of her race. The court admitted this was a stretch, but good enough to allow the case to go forward. (Evans-Rhodes v. Northwest Diagnostics Clinic, No. 4:13-cv-01626, SD TX, 2013)
Final note: What should the employer have done? At the very least, it should have carefully investigated Vanessa's discrimination complaint.
Advice: Don't fire complainants unless you are absolutely sure you have rock-solid reasons for doing so—reasons completely unrelated to the complaint.

" Type: Powder Brush / Brand: EcoTools / "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This is a lovely powder brush from EcoTools.
To start off with, the handle is really nice to hold because it is made of a nice soft wood. It is also nice that it is a light colour because I have had so many brushes with black handles which get covered in makeup and look awful.
The brush itself is extremely soft on the skin. The bristles, if you can even call them that, are so fine that they don't scratch or leave streaks unlike other brushes on the market.
They are also really reasonably priced. I don't like to spend a huge amount on my make up brushes because I am a bit picky about them being clean and often replace them to avoid any uncleanliness.
They are affordable, great on the skin and eco friendly too- there isn't much more that you could ask for in a make up product as far as I'm concerned!
This brush from the ecotools brand at boots is great! As well as a fair price, its really good quality. The head of the brush is very soft and glides your blusher/bronzer/powder on in an easy equal way. As it so soft you may need to keep applying blusher/bronzer to get the desired colour on your cheeks. You can also use it to apply bronzer to your cleavage for added sex appeal ans this accentuates your assets.
The wooden handle of the brush feels very nice and is surprisingly light. I also like that the environment has been thought about when making this product, as I am very into recycling and environmentally friendly products. Also I think that the brushes in this range look alot nicer, higer quality and durable than some of the cheaper (usually plastic) alternatives that are available. I would definatley buy more of these brushes as I believe they are built to last.
I brought this brush and it is brilliant. The bristles hold onto the powder and you can create many different styles of applying bother bronzes and blush. I use mine on a daily basis and wash regularly and the bristles do not fallout. A staple for the makeup bag!I brought mine for about £7.00 I find it was like the Lancôme brushes, but cheaper. It is very soft and glides on effortlessly.The packaging due to the material it abit bleak and boring, but this does not in no way affect the application and ease of using this brush
As part of my new make-up set, I had to get a whole new set of brushes too. With there not being many options at the local Boots branch that I visited, I ended up buying the Ecotools bamboo powder brush, which matched the foundation and blusher brushes I also bought. As I mentioned, I bought my brushes from Boots and they can also be purchased at Boots.com.
The Ecotools bamboo powder brush costs £9.99.
The special selling point of this brush is that it is by Ecotools, a brand which specialise in eco-friendly make-up accessories. Not only does the brush come in a reusable pouch, but the bristles are made from synthetic taklon, the handle made from bamboo and the metal part is made from recycled aluminium. Although these are not my reasons for buying the brush, I think this a great idea for those more concerned with these kinds of things than I am.
This powder brush feels nice to hold. The bamboo handle is lovely and smooth and just long enough to grip your hand around. Above the handle is the recycled aluminium which holds the handle and the bristles together. This is very smoothly fitted to the handle so it doesn't stick out at all nor can it scratch your hands while you are holding the brush.
As a user of face pearls for many years, I haven't really used much pressed powder so therefore, not used a matching brush either. The brush I use for my face pearls is very compact and round, making the bristles quite stiff. However, the powder brush is very different. Instead of having compact bristles, this brush has very soft and loosely fitted bristles. The brush head is also quite wide, meaning you can cover a lot of your face at once without applying too much powder anywhere. As the bristles are super soft, using the brush feels really nice on my face.
As the bristles are quite nicely spread out, this means that you can also easily shake or tap off any excess powder. My powder is a really light colour too so I am able to see it really well on the bristles. I find that because the brush is large in size, I am easily able to cover my face with powder in only two or three sweeping motions. I find using this brush so much easier than the application pad provided with my powder as it doesn't take nearly as long to use.
Overall, this is a great powder brush and well worth the money.
EcoTools Bamboo Powder Brush / This Earth-friendly brush shows respect for the Planet: Bamboo handle has a low impact on the earth's resources as it is a highly sustainable plant., Synthetic Taklon bristles are 100% cruelty free., Sleek ferrule is made from recycled aluminium., Reusable storage pouch. ,

Ataxias, Sporadic
- Thomas KlockgetherAffiliated withDepartment of Neurology, University Hospital Bonn
Idiopathic cerebellar ataxia; IDCA
Definition and Characteristics
The sporadic ataxias are a heterogeneous group of adult-onset ataxia disorders that have a defined acquired cause (acquired or symptomatic sporadic ataxias) or occur without a discernible cause (sporadic ataxia of unknown etiology, SAOA) [1]. The latter category has been recently defined and distinguished from multiple system atrophy (MSA). The major categories of acquired ataxias are alcoholic cerebellar degeneration (ACD) [2] and paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) [3]. Sporadic ataxias are characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia without major accompanying symptoms. Disease severity and progression rate are variable and partly depend on the underlying cause. In contrast to SAOA, which usually starts insidiously, ACD and PCD may have a subacute onset.
A recent population-based study of SAOA found a prevalence rate of 9.4:100,000. Prevalence ra ...

It paid to be a morning person at the TPC Sawgrass Players Stadium Course.
Certainly, Sergio Garcia was in a cheery mood after his 6-under-par 66 Thursday took the first-round lead in the 35th Players Championship.
The star-crossed Spaniard must have been in an even better frame of mind in the air-conditioned confines of his accommodations when a hot, windy afternoon wore on into the evening, and his two-shot lead over Paul Goydos and Kenny Perry stayed intact.
"The greens were a little more receptive there wasn't much wind," Garcia said of the conditions that led to his second round of 66 in a row at the Stadium, and his third round of 67 or better. "The course (in the afternoon) is not going to be easy."
Garcia, beginning his round at the 10th hole, didn't make a bogey until the par-3 eighth, and then got the stroke back when he birdied No. 9 to close out his day.
Goydos and Perry did most of their damage on the Stadium Course's front nine to pull into second, combining to shoot 7-under on that side.
"It was perfect for the first nine holes," said Perry. "I knew it was time to make a move."
Two-time Players champion Steve Elkington, Heath Slocum, Ian Poulter, Niclas Fasth and Todd Hamilton are tied at 3-under, but only Hamilton emerged from an afternoon group.
Defending champion Phil Mickelson, two-time Players winner Fred Couples, last week's Wachovia Championship winner Anthony Kim, crowd favorite Boo Weekley and U.S. Open champion Angel Cabrera are among a large group at 2-under.
Of the 22 players at 2-under or better, only five had afternoon starting times. The wind increased noticeably, the temperature and humidity soared and the greens, already firm and speedy, increased in both regards.
The flip side is that players with morning rounds Thursday will play in the afternoon today, and vice versa. However, the winds are predicted to be between 20-to-30 miles per hour most of the day, which could wind up giving the advantage to the Thursday morning groups.
"If the wind keeps blowing, it will be brutal," said Couples.
The advantage will be to players who control their shots in the wind, and Garcia, even though he's only 28 years old, has enough experience in that regard from winning 10 times on the European PGA Tour. In addition, three of his six PGA Tour titleswere at historically windy venues in Texas and Hawaii.
His tee-to-green game has never been the problem, and it wasn't Thursday as Garcia missed only two greens and four fairways.
What he has needed more is consistency on the greens. His struggles have been well-documented and he's tried just about everything. Just this year, Garcia has used a conventional putter (with a normal grip and an over-sized "jumbo" grip), a belly putter, and has used the left-hand low grip.
Garcia even carried two putters in his bag at the World Golf Championship Accenture Match Play.
He's recently been working with short-game and putting guru Stan Utley, and said progress is being made.
"When we first started, there were a lot of things to work on," Garcia said. "Now, there's a little less to work on because it keeps getting better every day."
Garcia said the game plan is to re-discover the putting stroke that made him a teen-age sensation on both sides of the Atlantic, when he won the British Amateur at 18, launched his professional career at 19, then won on the European Tour, took Tiger Woods to the limit before losing the 1999 PGA by one shot, and went 3-1-1 in the Ryder Cup before he turned 20.
However, Garcia hasn't won on the PGA Tour in three years, and has been tagged with the dubious distinction of the best player yet to win a major championship. His best chance since the 1999 PGA came last year in the British Open at Carnoustie, when he missed a 6-foot par putt attempt on the final hole to fall into a tie with Padraig Harrington, then lost in a three-hole playoff.
Garcia refused to blame his putting for any failures to win big events.
"Of course if you don't putt well, it doesn't help," he said. "You hit a couple of bad shots at the wrong time, and it costs you, too. It's a mix of things."
Garcia didn't have to grind over a lot of long putts Thursday. Six of his birdies were on putts of 7 feet or less, and he mixed in a bomb of 48 feet, 5 inches at No. 14.
Despite the struggles of the afternoon groups, the first-round scoring average of 73.716 was almost two shots lower than last year and the field combined to make 444 birdies, 112 more than last year's opening day.Par was matched or bettered by 54 players.

CreoLa-A New Orleans Bistro Restaurant Review: CreoLa flies in ingredients a couple times a week from the Big Easy, which helps to make it the real deal. Posters of New Orleans in the small narrow room are the background for some tasty food. We favor the greaseless and flavorful crayfish hush puppies, the corn fritters encasing tender crayfish tails served with a rémoulade sauce and the addictive Cajun popcorn (cornmeal-battered crayfish tails served with a satiny sherry-tomato aïoli). Rarely seen in the Bay Area, the alligator piccata is just okay. Don't miss the soft-shell crab dishes paired with crayfish etouffée. Finish your dinner with sturdy New Orleans-style bread pudding.

Release Date: 2005 |
First review, how'd I do? Be savage.
A few minor corrections:
who has sadly since left the band
who has sadly left the band since Chaostream was released.
Good review for a first, pos.
These guys are indeed underrated, yet so brutal.
Digging: Fleurety - The White Death
Ahaha damn, thanks. Must be my mind subconsciously trying to tell me to listen to more Meshuggah. Been meaning to do that...
I love Immerse In Infinity as well, even if I don't think it comes together as well as this does. Band in general just needs more exposure.
Your review is gonna take a while before showing up in the main page, since it's your first.
Because it's gotta be approved, yeah? How long does it usually take?
+edited to add recc tracks
tbh, i don't really know how long it's gonna take.
Usually the texts are being checked for plagiarism - among other things - and then they go up to the main page.
Roger, won't hold my breath then.
Christian Meat reminds me of Morbid Angel's Where the Slime Lives.
Oh shit, THAT'S who else these guys sound like. That was bugging me while I was writing this. I remember making a friend of mine listen to this album, and his first reaction was telling me how much he liked it because it sounded like MA.
Pos´d! first for writing a nice review and second for giving props to this nice little band. I really like their ubermensch album, still have to checlk this one out!
