Great WEEKEND for Lady Lion Basketball
Saturday afternoon brought defending PSUAC Champion, PSU Brandywine to town. In a close game all the way, Jenna Matzinger and Lynnie Schirmer hit key foul shots at the end of the game to seal the victory as PSUD improved to 5-2 (2-1 league) with the 74-70 victory. "Everyone played a huge roll in this win against a very strong, well coached team", said DuBois head coach Pat Lewis. He went on to say, "Beth Pernesky hit our only two 3's in the first half, Lauren Topolski had a career high 6 rebounds while Kyley Mickle took three huge charges for the team and Karlee Cyphert played her ever tenacious defense like she does every game".
Everyone scored against the defending champions, in large part, because of the point guard play of Karly Carnovale and Lynnie Schirmer. Leading the charge was Jenna Matzinger (16), Tessa Vargas (15), and Patience McCullough (13). Kelsey Rini pulled down a season high (13) rebounds.
Friday night, PSUD hosted PSU Schuylkill and began the weekend with a strong win against the visitors, 74-63.

Nov. 12, 2011
Penn State DuBois wrestling team competed at the Electric City Duals at Scranton University on Saturday going 3-1 on the day. Coach Park was very pleased with the way the guys competed against good competition this early in the season.

DuBois dropped the last match of the day to (UMBC) University of Maryland Baltimore County 37-12.
Coach Park stated "The win over Apprentice School was big, they are traditionally one of the best teams in the country. I feel the last match loss to UMBC was a matter of fatigue and some bad luck. This weekend gave us a gage of where we are at as far as conditioning and areas of technique that we need to address." It's a great start to a promising season!

As part of 'The Gathering Ireland 2013' for the first time ever, St. Patrick's Festival are inviting up to 8,000 people around the world to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin on 17 March 2013. The People's Parade is a once in a lifetime opportunity and applications are now open!
As a participant in The People's Parade the person will march in procession through the streets of Dublin, passing many historic landmarks along the way including the GPO, Trinity College, Dublin Castle and City Hall. They will soak up the vibrant atmosphere; feel the energy, wave to the audience along the 1.5 mile route and best of all once you have finished they can marvel at the spectacular performance section of the parade that follows.

Tourism Ireland are urging Irish Americans to "Build lifelong memories, display your Irish pride, celebrate all that is good about Ireland and being Irish (even if you are just an honorary Irish person for one day!) and savour your unique journey through the heart of Dublin City- the journey of a lifetime!"

St. Patrick's Festival 2013 takes place from Thursday 14th to Monday 18th March.
The Aer Lingus Vacation Store is now offering marching passes as part of a six-night Dublin vacation package that includes round-trip airfare, six nights in Dublin's Four Seasons Hotel and all taxes and fees.
The basic People's Parade vacation package cost is currently estimated at $1,208.61 based on two people leaving March 11-14, or $1,425.27 based on two people leaving March 15. Prices are subject to change based on airfare rates and availability.
Click here for more details on how you can take part in the People's Parade.
The St Paddy's Day Parade in Chicago is the one to see. Everyone tries to be "Irish" and we dye the river green (ironically, the powder is orange until it hits the water, then turns Kelley green). Politicos with names that end in -ski, -nez and -burg dig out their Irish roots, which is where the current occupant of the White House learned the technique, and it sure seemed to work! If the downtown parade is too co-opted for your tastes, try the Southside Irish Parade, which is being reinstated after a few years of sobering up. The Southside Irish consider any Irish north of 35th Street to be lace curtain fakirs. Come, enjoy and drink some green beer whilst wearing a silly hat.
Stick "The Gathering" up to the highest raftersin your A#$% What a crock of Sh@#
Willie Frazer is leading the Norn Iron contingent in the St Patrick's Day Parade carrying a Union Jill (ie union jack but in Irish colours). And Billy Hutchinson, after a complimentary Indian head massage, is dressing up as Darby O Gill, (anything to give his sartorially challenged Ulster Covenant undertaker persona a rest). And whilst Jackie McDonald will not be telling his loyalist lads to put up Irish tricolours, he won't be telling them to take them down either. He'll be cordially inviting them with goldrimmed invitations to do so. After all, it pays to be cognisant to the sensitivities of paramilitaries. They're hypersensitive chaps after all, having been brought up in a dysfunctional society.
m sorry, well no, but from everything I have read lon here- YOU do not like, American Irish!
Somebody please buy a ticket and I will be the guest.
Mairin67: "Leave it to the Irish." Have you been in Dublin for the St Patrick's Parade in the last five or six years? They don't "leave it to the Irish". In fact there is almost nothing Irish about the Dublin parade, except the flag at the beginning. The parade is dominated by Poles, Africans, Pakistanis, Romanys etc. You see, the Irish don't think their culture and history are interesting.
This is just a revenue stunt - the anglo oriented Debulin establishment has no interest in promoting real Irish culture.
No thanks. I prefer the New York parade. Besides, if everyone is as welcoming as MAIRIN67 appears to be, why should we??
Careful what you ask for...they shouldn't be giving up an Irish event to Irish Americans or Irish-anything. Leave it to the Irish. Of course, this is nothing but a big tourism boost. It's all about the Euro.
the call should go out to those whom Shatter fancies, especially his tribe members, but then again, they might be reluctant to spend their scheckels in Eire due to his harangue some months back about the people of the Republic on not having done what they should for his very own, during WWII. It was not enough that Eire was UKs breadbasket and source of labor throughout the conflict. Such Erinacts fasting and shipping of all manner of edibles that helped to do their bit in ushering an end to the madness that the Saxon Germanic pair engaged in. The neutral con working to perfection thanks to England's Greatest Spy Eamon DeValera, whose dad was one of Shatter's own.
I wish I could be part of that "crowd" but finances make it impossible. I show my Irish pride in hundreds of ways, but mostly through my home...which is a small cottage containing everything Irish I can get my hands on...from a framed and matted copy of the 1916 Proclamation to the much expected claddagh in many forms, two very large tara brooches (one in copper, the other in ceramic) that grace my walls...and the list goes on and on. I consider myself to be fiercely Irish...although I rarely drink, LOL.
No doubt that the false stereotype the Irish have of Irish-Americans will have them expecting us to all march in Aran sweaters, Kelly green plastic caps, speaking in fake Irish accents (and very loudly might I add), drinking green beer and carrying donation buckets for the IRA. A good opportunity for us to show them how wrong and outdated that stereotype is!

Reviews for Turkey Fettuccine Skillet(16)
Sort By :
My whole family loved this recipe!
The sauce was slightly bland so I added some white pepper and cayenne. I also used smoked turkey legs and baby portabella mushrooms. Great comfort food!
The only word to describe this dish is bland. Is it edible? Yes. Would I make it again? Definitely not. There are for sure ways to improve it, no doubt...But you would have to change/add so much, it is then a new dish. I do make another dish similar to this called hay & straw & it is ten times better. I thought I would try this because you never know what gem you might find, but this is not it.
Excellent. Definite keeper.
Yummy! Just made this for dinner, didn't have fresh mushrooms so used canned and added a little fresh baby spinach. Delicious! Will definitely make this again!

Many of these scanners have very high read rates for accurate reading in high-speed applications and normally integrate with other systems for triggering since they don't have a trigger on them. When choosing a Fixed Mount Bar code Scanner, the main concerns are the type of bar code (1D vs. 2D) you are reading and how fast they will be moving.

Pressing FlowersBy: Maria Nerius, FaveCrafts.com Resident Craft Expert Why let flowers fade away when you can press them for another day? Pressing flowers is one of the oldest techniques for preserving botanicals and one of the most inexpensive ways too.
Flowers seem to be a part of all our celebrations from birthdays to Mother's Day to weddings. It's a shame to just let those flowers wilt when you can preserve them by the simple method of pressing. All you need to press flowers (or any botanicals) is some unprinted paper, heavy weights, and fresh botanicals.

As my senior thesis is winding down, and I'm in the shop one last time before it comes down, I would like to take time to give a big thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. The show took months of hard work from not only myself but countless others who put aside time to help, whether it was something as small a…s helping put money in my car so those assholes at the ppa wouldn't get me, or putting up with my countless "how do you like this colorway" questions, all the way up to helping build/print/run the shop. I couldn't have done this without you.
Can't forget the fans. Thank you to all the new fans and everyone who continuously supports me and 1LL SOCIETY, I've said it before and I'll say it forever. You truely make us who we are, and were the key to making this week so successful. I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did, and continue to follow us as we grow.
Of course I can't forget about everyone who helped us with promotion through rumors, ripping/ tagging posters, and all around hate. We truely appreciate you getting the word out. Keep it up, it keeps promotion cheap ♥
I can't say how much I appreciate you all.
Thank You,

The Tuesday, July 9, episode of CBS This Morning included a segment about a new tool to help improve medical decision making, built on the supercomputer IBM Watson. Mark G. Kris, Chief of Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Thoracic Oncology Service, and Carol Jaxel, one of Dr. Kris's patients, were interviewed about the benefits this new technology can bring to cancer care.
Dr. Kris and a team of physicians and analysts at Memorial Sloan-Kettering have been "training" IBM Watson for more than a year to help medical professionals choose the best diagnostic and treatment plans for individual cancer patients. The system is based on a vast amount of clinical data and research as well as wisdom gleaned from decades of expertise in treating cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
One of the goals of this project is to improve the quality of care delivered to people with cancer no matter where they are located. The need for the new technology arises from the increasing complexity of cancer treatment and the fact that most cancer patients are not treated at specialized medical centers.
IBM Watson, which became famous after its appearance on the TV game show Jeopardy! in 2011, when it beat two all-time champions, is capable of learning with every encounter, continually getting smarter.

Pixar, Gorillaz and Team Fortress 2 inspiration behind new Borderlands art, says Gearbox
Borderlands art director Brian Martel has been discussing the whys and wherefores of the dramatic change in art style with IGN revealing that UK pop band Gorillaz, Disney's Pixar and Valve's Team Fortress 2 gave the team inspiration for the sidestep.
"I think pop culture like The Gorillaz, Pixar, and our own concept art had the biggest impact," he said.
"But of course Team Fortress 2 is an inspiration for any artist in the industry. Prince of Persia and Mirror's Edge helped to reinforce our decision to try something radical."
Martel goes on to say he believes the new style "reinforces the attitude and game play immensely," and, if we're being honest, we're inclined to believe him. Why? Look here and here.
Much more through the links.

I wish I was going.
I've never been to a Paid dues, but I've been to two ROCK THE BELLS (2007 for Wu-Tang and 2009 for Tech N9ne, RZA, Busta Rhymes, and Slick Rick)
I'm gonna see Ab-soul on March 28th in Sacramento, me personally, I'd probably rather see Ab-soul headline his own show rather than black hippy headline, ab-soul is my favorite from the group.
I'm gonna see Tech on April 2nd in Sacramento.
I've never seen Hopsin yet, but I will someday.
I've already seen Immortal Technique and talib kweli, I'm not willing to spend ~$1,000 to travel to this event, although MOBB DEEP would be cool to see.
yea i been to one rock the bells with damien marley & nas and ice cube and tech opened & smokeout with incubus cypress hill with travis barker and dead mouse haaha...this is gonna be dope 3rd paid dues
Yeah, we both attended the 2009 Rock the Bells, although I was at the San Francisco show, and I assume you were at the LA show.
Nas and Damien were headlining the main stage the same time RZA was headlining the smaller stage, so I chose RZA.

Edible Addison
Side Dishes: Rising to the Local Challenge
What do Vermonters expect these days from an "Eat Local Challenge"? Some may associate it with self-denial — after all, not everything we enjoy can be sourced locally. But at its most basic, the month-long ELC isn't an endurance contest: It's about being mindful of origins and selecting as many items as possible from area farmers and artisan producers. This September, participants are asked to pledge themselves to increasing the "food dollars" they spend in Vermont.
And in Addison County, they're celebrating it with a feast. As Jonathan Corcoran puts it, "We really want to reach out past the choir this year." On September 6, from noon to 4 p.m., the Addison County Localvores kick off their challenge with a harvest festival on the Middlebury Town Green, featuring a potluck, music and informational workshops.
Experts will teach participants how to raise poultry in their backyards, harvest wild edibles and tie flies suitable for catching local fish. According to Corcoran, "It's a real attempt to help people deepen their commitment to eating local in September, but also throughout the year. We're helping people put food by, and do things people used to know how to do and need help with."
Want to work off those locally sourced calories? The same crew is planning a unique bike tour of Shoreham-area businesses for September 21. On this "Tour de Farms," participants peddle to a slew of area ag ventures, including Champlain Orchards, Golden Russet Farm and Lincoln Peak Vineyard, on a 10-, 25- or 30-mile loop. Will they burn as much as they consume? Adult registration is $15 in advance, $20 on the day of the ride.

It happened when I saw the movie in theatres.
I felt that enjoyment I had for that little animated TV-series expanded in that big theatre, shared with hundreds of people.
Hearing all those people enjoy themselves with those yellow characters so dear to my heart gave me a theatre-experience unlike any other one I had before or afterwards. Call it a rare moment of synergy with total strangers.
I also remember watching THOH6 with a bunch of schoolpeople some years ago. There was a lot of chips and cola and there were some strange remarks about the ending feeling like the start of a live action/animation-crossover, but that could have been the booze inside the particular speaker of that phrase.
Other than that, it's mostly watching the Simpsons alone or with two.
Not really memorable stories, but maybe you have some...
So watching the Simpsons with a bunch of people, how did that turn out for you?
Describing memorable moments from Simpsons drinking-games are always welcome. (if people actually do that ?!?)

To echo the other responses, $30 is very reasonable for a game of this scope.
As for DRM:
A few days ago, JAST USA released the all-ages (15+) version of XUSE's Aselia the Eternal, including a DRM-free download version as well.

JAST has submitted an application to Steam as well. It's likely that Steam may reject the application simply on the grounds that JAST also sells adult games.

One of SHA's core goals is to strategically plan and manage our natural resources and open spaces in ways that will benefit our ecosystems and our communities for generations to come. SHA is harnessing the power of digital technology to help us meet our environmental commitments.
SHA, together with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Texas Department of Transportation and the Conservation Fund, designed a tool that couples a Geographic Information System (GIS) with an advanced analysis technique (Green Infrastructure Assessment). The tool allows planners and designers to identify ecologically important areas – watersheds, forests and critical wildlife passageways, for instance – that may be threatened by future development.
The GIS/Green Infrastructure tool is part of an enterprise GIS (eGIS) that SHA is developing to better inform our decisions about how and where to build roadway networks. At its heart, eGIS is a base map over which multiple data sets can be layered. Data can include things like population density, traffic patterns, existing structures, and traffic signal locations. Taken together, this mapped data provides our engineers, planners and designers with a very clear picture of what is happening in a particular area of the state.

Anathema – "Universal" DVD (2013)
Label: Kscope
Review by Luisa Mercier
Last year in September, Anathema held a special event, a very special event: a concert with the Plovdiv Philarmonic Orchestra in the Roman theatre in Philippopolis, among ancient ruins. Now that event has been captured into "Universal", the DVD recently released.
Upon watching it, I feel compelled to say that was one f the most mystical experiences of my life and one of the best shows I have ever seen because of the feeling and of course, the Anathema music.
The setlist is mostly comprised of tracks from the last two masterpieces " We Are Here Because We Are Here" and "Weather Systems" plus some other songs from their recent past. Only "Fragile Dreams" is the witness of their past, coming from "Alternative 4". The set was divided into a main one with the orchestral part, while the final 30 minutes are devoted to rock only with four pieces played in the usual way. Continue reading »
Interview: Danny Cavanagh – Anathema
Interview by Miriam NocturnalConcerto
Transcription by Robin Stryker
I cannot tell you how excited I was to doing this interview with Danny Cavanagh, Anathema singer and guitarist, for a lot of causes, take it because was my first phoner interview, take it because I was worried that something gone wrong. The interview has started with a delay of 30 minutes preview by the slot I was very nervous but in the end I'm happy to share with you this interview, hope like it!
Since are passed 7 years from your last album "A Natural Disaster", why it passed so much time?
Well, mainly it is because we didn't have a manager. We didn't have a record company, and one or two of our band members had family commitments they had to attend to. Different things were happening in their lives. You know, at the time, you don't realise… one month becomes another month, becomes another month. It was just one of those things. Without a record company, it was just something that happened, and it will never happen again.
And also we must add that is your first album under KScope Music (excluding the semi acoustic album "Hindsights"), why have you chosen this label?
Why did we choose KScope Records? Well, they are very good and they believe in us very much and they wanted it more than anybody else did. They were really keen to have our record, and they wanted it for many years. We saw that, with the work they did on "Hindsight", they are actually quite good. They do things properly and they don't spend a fortune. They don't spend quite a lot of money wastefully. Our manager — we have a manager now — he recommends we take this and we did. We were not the kind of band at that time that could attract a much bigger label, so we went with that one. We are happy and I am happy that we did.
I make a question about the title of the new album – it sound like a statement, who came up with title and why?
Well it's not very very important and it's not very meaningful. It is the title that we all liked. It's the only title that everybody in the band liked. We couldn't find another one where six people agreed. That's the only one that six people agreed on. For me personally, it doesn't have the greatest meaning for the songs. It does though, however, suggest the bond that we have as a band together… the family, the friendships, the caring that we have for each other. It is suggested in that title because we are here for each other, so I like it for that reason. I like it because it suggests "being there for each other" to me. It's not a great statement, it's not a spiritual statement or an anti-religious statement, or anything. It is just the fact that we all like it. Also, the fact is, it comes from a very moving story from the First World War in Europe when many, many millions of men and women died for no real reason. That was one of the most extreme situations that humanity has ever seen. And, during that war, young men in England used to sing this song, "We're Here Because We're Here". You can actually hear a very small selection of that song… as the song "Hindsight" is tuning into the radio, you can hear it there. They used to sing that song in defiance of the situation that they were in. They were in an impossible situation, and there was no reason for them to be there, so they used to sing that song, "We're Here Because We're Here". We like that story. And we like the meaning behind it and the memory of those men, so we chose it.
A question about the cover – How's your interpretation and in some manner, is it related to the lyrics of the album?
Yes and no, really. The front cover and all of the artwork is related to Anathema, to the people and to our childhood, our story, and to our personalities. They are childhood memories of everyone… an old school, an old playing field, an old street that we lived in. The beach with the man in the distance is actually Liverpool Beach in the north of Liverpool. The mountains in the distance are the Welsh Mountains, the mountains of Wales where we spent many, many years on holiday as kids. So, what I love about the artwork and title is not that it relates very, very, very closely to the meaning of the songs. It relates to the meaning of the band and to the people in the band and the personalities and the family and the heritage and the love and the memories that we have together. And that's why I like it.
I've listened to album like I said before and my favourite album song is "Everything" with the duet of Lee. What your favourite track?
My favourite track is "Dreaming Light" because it is probably the most personal one to me, and it is the one I am most proud of it. That's my favourite one, but I love them all really. I think it's the first record that … okay, well maybe not … I would say that it's a consistently good album. All the songs are very good, and (for me) one or two are truly great. Those two would probably be "Dreaming Light" and "Universal". What I like about "Dreaming Light" is the optimism in the melody and the emotion in the melody. I remember the day it was written, I remember how it came through me and I remember how I felt after it was written. It was just a special time. It was a special feeling to have that feeling come through. To feel that tune and feel those words. I do think it's a gift. That song is a gift.
So now I have three curiosity to satisfy: How's born the collaboration with HIM singer Ville Valo, how's working with Steven Wilson and who sang the spoken words on "Presence"?
Ville Valo is a lovely guy. He is a very nice person, and I like him very much. He is a good friend. And that is the only reason, really, that we asked him to do it. He's been very kind to Anathema and he's been a loyal fan, if you like, of the band. He likes the band very much and he's been supportive of Anathema very much. I wanted in a way to say "thanks" to Ville Valo because he's been such a gentleman and a kind person to us that it felt appropriate for me to ask him. And he said yes. It was simple and he has added something very good to the song. It's a background, but it works for me. He adds something to the song "Angels" and doesn't take anything away. I like it very much. And that was really just a matter of friendship, he's a good friend. Second question, Steve Wilson. Well, that was much more involved because we worked together for two weeks to mix the record, or maybe longer. It was a great pleasure working with him because he is very very very good at what he does. So I would go to his house, sit on the couch and drink tea and listen to his work and comment and work on the collaboration and he would suggest some things. He would try to make us think carefully about all the choices that we're making, and he would try to encourage more simplicity in the record. I had a clear vision, almost, of how it should sound. What I appreciated about Steve was his willingness to allow us to follow that vision and to only speak up when he really felt that something was a little bit wrong. We worked well together. There was no real difficulty and I like him very much. So that was a great pleasure and I am delighted we did that collaboration with him. I think it makes a difference in the impact of the record also, because people are talking about this record because of it. The final question was the spoken word on "Presence". That is an interview I made with a gentleman in Liverpool , England where I was living at the time. A gentleman called Stan Ambrose. He is a very beautiful person, he's a musician and a radio presenter. He was involved in counselling for a long time and he is a local activist. Just a gentleman who many people like… many people like this man. He is very humble, very kind and we became friends. We started to talk about spiritual things and the essence of life and these things. He's always been interested in those things, interested in mediation and all that stuff. So I interviewed him actually in the Cathedral — in Liverpool Cathedral I interviewed him – and he began talking about a book by Eckhart Tolle, who is a spiritual writer, a very successful spiritual writer whose message of stillness is making an impact around the world. Stan is a person who is very much interested in these things and very sincere. When he spoke to me about this, he almost had a tear in his eye. I made the interview with him, and it just seemed to fit with the song, "Presence". Also, the fact is that he is talking a little bit about the possibility of life beyond death and I know that he was thinking about that. And that relates directly to "Angels Walk Among Us", which is also asking that question. Just the same as "Are You There?" was asking that question: "Is there something beyond?"
With this album you have confirmed Lee Douglas like a full member in Anathema. Can you give more infos about her and say something about the decision to confirm her in the line up.
Lee is family, and a very good friend, and a very very good singer. She was always there… she sang on all the records since "Judgement". Ever since "A Natural Disaster", she became more involved because she sang the lead vocal on that song. It just, you know, developed. When she came to the studio to record, she did say that she would like to be more present at the live concerts because she has to balance it with work and stuff. She has always been there, really. If I'm honest, she's always been there, so it's okay. We are very glad about it because she is one of us. She does fit very well — a very good singer, easy-going and easy to be around, fun. So, no problem there, really. We're happy about it.
So, now some advices for the new fans, what Anathema album to advise to start from?
I would advise to begin with the new album, "We're Here Because We're Here". That's what I would advise. And the reason is because that is the best one, and also it's the picture of who Anathema really is right now. I would start with this record. I would suggest that it is just open-minded music. A powerful rock band, it's emotional and it's honest and it's real … from the heart.
I would say that you have similitaries with The Gathering, you know, you first started like a doom metal band after you came through with an alternative rock band.
I understand what you're saying. They really developed and changed and grew into much more of an alternative rock band. And I suppose we did the same. But, I'm looking at the interview schedule and it's still Metal webzine, it's in Metal Maniac, it's in Metal Hammer (Germany). Those are our roots. The band is much more than metal and has not been a metal band for many years. Real musicians — like Radiohead or The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, U2, band like this – the real musicians, they do evolve. We are of that stock. I love Iron Maiden and their music has evolved a little bit. Our heritage is much more in the Radiohead, the Pink Floyd, the Led Zeppelin and the Sabbath and that area of evolution, which is much more expansive and open-minded. That's just our style. And if they don't like it, that's tough shit.
What are the next band planes (talking about tours ecc.)?
We are in between playing Turkey and Russia right now. In three days we're going to Russia, and then there is a show in London. Then I'm touring with Anneke van Giersbergen in South America. It's just one or two festivals over the summer and a time over the summer to collect ourselves, to relax, to gather our strength and to do some new writing. Then, in the autumn, a natural machine will start, and a long tour will happen. I look forward to that, actually.
We know that you do acoustic tours with Anneke van Giersbergen and now I make you a question, do you think that in the future there will be a project or a collaboration with Anathema? I mean not only with your solo project…
We have talked about that, and she would be welcome because she is such a great person and such a great singer. So, she would be welcome. But, the fact is, we have a female vocalist in the band. You know what I mean? Lee has the voice for our style, so she's in the band. I did have ideas for Anneke to sing on the new record and she would have sounded beautiful. But Lee Douglas is there and she's committed and it wouldn't really be appropriate. But we certainly love Anneke very much. She has sung live with Anathema. We love her very much. I think she is a wonderful person and a really wonderful singer and a really good professional. Of course, it's a possibility.
So we're at end greet as you want our readers.
Thank you, my dear. Ciao and grazie.

Vincent Cavanagh – Anathema
Interview by Alessandro Narcissus
First it was Danny on the phone, now it's Vinny : Alessandro, in the second Anathema interview that we publish, took the chance to ask some question about the newcomer milestone "Weather Systems" during the Italian promo day in Milan.
Hello, Danny! Welcome to Femme Metal Webzine
First of all, let's introduce "Weather Systems". Looking at the title of both the album and the songs and then reading the lyrics, it's easy to figure out that the album is not really about weather and landscapes, but those are metaphores for different moments and feelings in life.
Yeah. When you dig a little bit more you can see the metaphor is very clearly connected to the internal landscapes that we have to go through, the storms that we have to wade through as people. You know, everybody has to go through these things, so it's a matter of how you confront it, if you want to: a lot of people do, a lot of people don't. Some people go to therapy and some people put it into music.
How did you come up with the idea of writing a whole album with this concept?
It grew out of four songs that came up around the same time as "We're Here Because We're Here". Those song titled "The Gathering of Clouds", "Lightning Storm", "Sunlight" and "The Storm Before the Calm", obviously based upon this theme, they could not really be separeted. They had to stay together but it was too much to go on the last album, so we said "Okay, this is the foundation of the next thing that we do" and we took them into the studio for the next album. The first thing we did after that was "Internal Landscapes", which is connected with that as well, but more directly confronting mortality and, you know, the effects of one's own contemplation on one's own mortality and the realisation of what that means to you. Ultimately it's about people. And then the rest of the album grew from that: we had those songs that are linked and then the final song in the puzzle, so all we had to do was to put a couple of songs in between and we had the perfect flow on the album. So it actually happened quite easily, quite naturally.
What about the sound? "We're Here Because We're Here" is a very atmospheric album, and after the beautiful orchestral moment of "Falling Deeper" one could have expected an even mellower album. However, "Weather Systems" is much more layered, with diverse influences that make it sound generally more rock-driven. How did your sound happen to go into that direction, this time?
It seems to us that especially in this album each song had to reach a certain level of intensity before we would let it out. So it depends on how fast you reach the crescendo and how quickly you get to that build, the way you get to the climax, or in fact if there's more than one climax in one song. I think with the last album being orchestral and this one being what it is, you should really realise that anything that we do is not really an accurate indication of what we're gonna do next, but in some ways I do feel that "Weather Systems" and "We're Here Because We're Here" are connected, there's something similar about those two. Well, given the fact that a few songs were born around the same time, so it's something to be expected. But the next thing could be ranging further forward. "Weather Systems" is not just an album you listen with your ears only: a great deal you listen with your heart. The emotional impact of this album is immense, I literally can't go past the first two tracks without crying and the rest are no less intense.
Oh, wow! Yeah, there's a genuine emotion flow. How could you, as songwriters and musicians, bear such an emotional pressure?
Well, people have different ways of dealing with it. There's no pressure, to begin with. The emotional intensity in our music is a component, it's something we have to do, we have to go to those levels. Now, whether there's always some cathartic element, sometimes I don't think it goes away just because you wrote the song, you're not necessarily healed of this thing, you're just kind of addressing it. Now, how do we cope with things. I personally have a very intense relationship with these songs, but at the same time I kind of "keep myself to myself" as well, so I can have the same kind of experience as you might when I listen to our music, but it depends on which song it is of course. Danny, who writes a lof of these lyrics, on the other hand, he would probably tell you that he's always kind of dealing with this, everyday anyway, and he's always that kind of open person to talk about that, if you do know him, so his musical side is natural just like having a cup of tea in the morning, it's just part of who he is, part of what he does. So, the dealing thing: it takes more than just writing a song to deal with some things, but it's just natural to write songs about that.
Aren't you afraid of exposure of your feelings so much to the rest of the world?
Me personally, it would depend. I think, for me personally, yeah. I would say I would keep some things private, some things that I wouldn't want to say. Similarly, Danny, there also got to be something he would not want to say, but he puts a lot of himself into everything he does. It kind of leaves you open, but that's the way it is. You've got to ask him, you know.
If I get the chance!
Yeah! I don't know, I imagine he would say that sharing things helps him, that's the way.
In "Storm Before the Calm" you can clearly hear massive electronic influences. I have noticed that many rock and even metal artists, lately, are drawing from electronica to add a flavour to their work, much more than in the past decade when such experiments were carried out only by the most pioneering bands. What's your opinion about this massive blend of electronica into rock and metal? And how did it work for Anathema's sound?
I'm not concerned with the scene. I don't really listen to metal music, or whatever makes the connection with that, Linkin Park or this kind of things. But I do listen to electronic music. I've done that all my life, expecially since I discovered Aphex Twin when I was seventeen. Anyway, sometimes it's just right for a given song. I mean, that song particularly, it's kind of like building a psychosis, that's how it feels. And certain things get across these feelings better than normal things would do, you know what I mean? So that kind of psychedelic-drawn, hypnotic part in the middle is there to illustrate this building of madness, a second wave building and eventually crashing on you, and what you're left with after that is yourself on the shore, and that first breath that you take aftermaths is that first chord. That's all you have left at that point. After all, anything that we do has got to be meant. It's the same for the orchestra too, we only have use for it if the song is calling for it.
So basically it must just suit it.
Yeah, I do think it's important to remember the fact that you can get across a lot more emotion with a single note played in the right way. It could be on the guitar, it could be from the human voice, it could be on the piano, it could be on the violin, anything, but those kind of emotions are right there in the expression. You don't need all of this trickery to get across that.
That's perhaps why the record sounds so genuine. Actually Anathema is one of those bands that managed to stay true to themselves the best. You always sound like yourself, but each release is fresh and unique. You keep your identity while going further in your experimentation journey, each album being a new step forward.
Yeah, I think it's a step forward down our own evolution, but at the same time I think, musically, if we analyse how it sounds, it seems like being expanding.
It's not getting different, it's just getting weird.
Yeah, exactly.
And what do you feel you have achieved with "Weather Systems" on your evolution path?
I think we've made probably the most cohesive record that we've done. It's one of those reords that passes quicker than you think. It's fifty-five minute long, but if you listen to it in one go, it doesn't feel like fifty-five minutes. Just kind of, "wow, what happened?". So… that's interesting! That's true! Okay, it's enough of a positive step in our own direction. I'd call it the successor of "We're Here Because We're Here" and something that sets up things for the next time, the next thing we'll do. Something that we're very happy with.
Is there some nice anecdote that occourred while recording or mixing "Weather Systems" that you would like to share?
Oh, all kinds of stuff happened, you know! The entire fact sounds like a funny anecdote. On the third session we were booked on this place that was converted from a nuclear bunker. It's a building that's built to withstand bomb blasts. It has six-feet concrete walls, no daylight, no windows, no concept of time. We just worked in the middle of the night, constantly. I had a studio set up in my own bedroom, which was bizarre because I could get up not knowing what time it was and just get to work. Sometimes I woke up and it was before four in the morning, and then was like, "Okay, why am I tired now? I thought it was about twelve o' clock but no, it's actually eight!".
Oh gosh!
Yeah. There was another time during "We're Here Because We're Here". Danny actually woke up in the middle of the night. He just had this dream and he said: "Fuck, I've got to tell you about this dream. This tune was being sung to me and… I need to remember this tune, I need to remember this dream!". So I was half asleep, I was like, "Ok, well, I get up", then we switched on the studio to record the music, to record right down this dream, and that became "The Lost Child".
So that's the reason why it's so dream-like, it's very evocative and onyric!
Yeah! Another story is Joe Geraci, who does the narration before "Internal Landscapes". He's still alive. That interview was conducted in 1991. Danny got in touh with the documentary film-maker [Dr. Kenneth Ring ed.], who got in touch with Joe. Joe got in touch with us and we exchanged some correspondance, and the next thing, you know, when we finished the song he was on the phone and I could not believe I had the chanche to say thank you to this guy for this amazing story that he went through, which inspired the song and in time became one of the catalists for making a full record. So, that's a beautiful thing, it's almost like it was meant to be, like a collaboration.
"Weather Systems" is going to be released on the 16th April. What are the plans about its promotion? Will you embark a tour, release singles or videos?
There are different formats the record is coming out. There's a 5.1, there's a different huge digibook with a 24-page full colour booklet with all the lyris and everything else, and there's a double vinyl. Of course we're doing a tour, in which we'll be performing at the Alcatraz on the 30th of April.
And I'll be there!
Cool! I think that this time it makes more sense to make a mix of songs from all the album. The tour is coming up about a week or two after the album, so it seems more natural to give people more time to absorb it, to get used to it. And then in the autumn we're going to come back with a full European tour, probably we'll get to play in more places in Italy at that point, and I think we can do something more conceptual, like playing the whole album start to finish.
That would be a priceless experience!
I think so, yeah. But I think it makes more sense to do it then. Now of course we gotta go to the rehearsal studio and we'll have two weeks from now, so if we choose to do it quickly, then right, but I don't know, it kind of makes more sense to do it at the end of the year
Is there any interesting bonus material that would make up good b-sides?
Yes, there's a couple of things knocking around, but at this point we'll see. We'll put that out.
What about the front cover of the album? Of course, it's really connected to the weather metaphore.
Yes, but it's a little bit more surreal and a little bit more like a dream or something. 'Cause for instance it does look like a seed.
Actually I thought more of a planet…
Also like a planet, but then it's within a different atmosphere, so is that just hovering, or is it moving, or what? There's something interesting about this image. And I think that sometimes you have to see the image and the title together, because we may have called this album "Internal Landscapes", which would have worked just as well, but when I saw the cover with this title, with "Weather Systems", it made it. It's more cryptic and I prefere things to be less on the surface, so people have to think about it.
Were you involved with the creation of the cover?
Yeah! It's myself with my girlfriend Sarah. And the rest of the artwork too.
Can you spoil us something about the booklet, the interior of the album.
Yeah, it's more directly connected to the metaphore, and it's based more upon aesthetics and feelings behind it rather than someting kind of conceptual. A lot of the aesthetics in our music is kind of emotional, specifically talking about the story, having a picture describing it. It's something that feels the same way as the music, as the lyrics. It's a bit more, you know…
Part of the same artistic experience?
Yes, it's a bit synaesthetic, in a way.
Actually, one thing I really love about this album is how it gives vivid images in your head. You can relate to with also depending on what you see, like, I was listening to it yesterday on the train on the coast at sunset, and with that music and those colours and hues I kind of got goosebumps all over, I was like, "Oh my God, this is bliss".
Ah, that's amazing, yeah! There's this imagery that is right all through the album in a way, I can say there's something just in the feeling that evokes these images. Specifically the song "The Lost Child" because it's written about that dream and it all kind of goes hand in hand, like the imagery is right there in the lyrics, like it's painting a picture.
Yet, the first time I listened to it without the lyrics, I initially thought of a forest rather than the sea. So it's kind open to different interpretations as well…
Yeah, similarly if you think of the cover for "We're Here Because We're Here", I'd see that the guy isn't really there, this is kind of a visual representation of how he is or where he's at, so the horizon represents the completely open mind, and the colours similarly, and then… yeah, he's not really there, it's not a snapshot.
Changing subject, I know this may sound a bit early, but what are your future plans in terms of songwriting and composing new music? Is there any clue about the musical directions you are going to take?
I would say there's less of a clue in this album, really. The last two albums feel connected, but the next one will be disconneted. Sometimes you have to do things in pairs, but the next thing is going to be different.
Last question: With the benefit of hindsight, would you change anything in your career?
Oh, all kinds of things, yeah! But you learn from these things. One thing about mistakes is that they're there to teach you something. Or regrets: you're there to learn from them, just don't make them twice.
Do you regret anything in particular?
All kind of things, yep. But I have no real time for it, because more importantly it's a lesson, I think. In my personal life I don't make mistakes anymore. It's something that we have to go through in our youth, and sometimes it can be useful. There's always something to learn, we're always progressing in some way. But I think I find some kind of contentment now with who I am in my place, in my life, in the world, what I have done. I can be positive and live it the best I can… I can try!

Anathema – "Weather Systems" (2012)
Label : KScope Music
Review by Luisa Mercier
There are records that have the power to leave you completely speechless, to leave you there wondering if what you have just listened was just music or also something else. Records that are able to raise such a storm of emotions that you cannot even say what you are feeling in that moment. This is what I felt when I listened for the first time to "Weather Systems", the new Anathema masterpiece. It is the perfect follower of "We Are Here Because We Are Here" retaining the same mood, full of light and atmosphere. You cannot help but crying on the melodies contained in "Untouchable part 2″ or "The Storm Before the Calm", every time you will be surrounded by melancholy and nostalgia. Musically speaking, the album is a little bit rockier, but there are songs like the two already mentioned that have completely different structure, relying mostly on vocals, piano and electronica. A bigger role now is played by Lee Douglas, the female singer, who sings much more than just some versed and the whole "Lightning Song", who will give you chills. I cannot really pick up a song that will stand over the others, thay are all unique on their own right, perfect and fragile. Anathema succeeded in building a caleidoscope of feelings, ranging from calm to sadness to a hint of despair in "The Gathering of Clouds" and as I have said to someone if you cannot be moved listening to "Weather Systems", you must have a heart of stone.

Groton — Red Rocket Merchandising Corp. has purchased Tee's Plus, the screen printing company that announced its closing in March.
"Tee's Plus is open for business," Ed Cook, CEO of the Westbrook-based custom printing company, said in a press release Friday. "We will continue to serve regional and national clients with premium branded merchandise and promotional products."
Red Rocket closed a deal last week to acquire the business, but not the property at 1425 Gold Star Highway. Cook said Tee's Plus will become the company's custom printing division, and the work will be done at the company's Old Saybrook, Westbrook and Essex facilities.
Allen Graham, former president and CEO of Tee's Plus, said at the time of its closing the company was a victim of the economic downturn, poor sales and a lack of working capital.
Cook said Tee's Plus did some screen printing for his company in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He said the company is looking for a facility in southeastern Connecticut.
"The purchase enhances Red Rocket's custom printing division and saves jobs for former Tee's Plus employees," Cook said. "Folding our existing operations into Tee's Plus will be seamless. We have the ability to continue providing the exceptional design and print services clients have come to expect from Tee's Plus."
Red Rocket has hired some Tee's Plus employees and is interviewing others. The company anticipates significant growth by the end of the year.
"The number of employees will likely double by the end of 2012," Cook said. "We certainly can't hire everyone from Tee's Plus, but we're looking to get everyone we can from that great staff."
Tee's Plus employed about 50 people at the end of last year.
Red Rocket is a privately held company with clients in the music, sports and entertainment apparel and merchandise. They include Rolling Stone, Disney, Premier Guitar, Live Nation and Marvel among others.
The company is on line at www.redrocketcorp.com and www.teesplus.com.
