The devloper logs are now online, keep up to date with the inner working of Infinite Playground with Creative Director Johnathan Vigurs and Techincal Director Chris Light.
A few weeks ago we entered into Starter for 10, a program run by Creative England to award ten South West businesses with grants of £10,000 from the European Regional Development Fund. As part of the scheme each successful company would receive mentoring! Something that would really allow the company to stand on its own!
It really stood out to us as the money was non-repayable and we would not need to give an equity share for the investment. This seemed like an amazing opportunity that we couldn't miss.
We made it through the initial selection stage and then through our regional heat in Bournemouth. Now only fifteen companies remained! Fifteen companies with great ideas and amazing people behind them.
After a nerve-racking two days in Bristol for the final it was announced we had one of the £10,000 catalyst investments and mentoring!!
Now all we need to do is get the game finished by August.
Since getting the great news we've been working solidly on Mech Mania to prove to the judges they made the right choice awarding us the investment.
VGM-a-thon 2012 concludes. The community game named Demon Trophy made for the 48 hour game making event is available to be played.
You can play Demon Trophy here.
Infinite Playground is proud to sponsor and host VGM Awesomeââ��ƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ã'¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s 48 hour community game making event VGM-a-thon 2012.
The VGM-a-thon is a 48 hour challenge hosted by VGM Awesome: video game radio, to design, construct and deliver a community video game in just one weekend by taking on board the ideas and content submissions from the community.
The game HIVe created by Chris and Johnny from Infinite Playground alongside John Sandford. Wins the first place for the Explay 2012 24 hour game Jam.
HIVe is game of deception between HIV and an antiretroviral drug in a competitive 2 player scenario. The objective of the HIV player is to infect as many cells as possible before being caught by the antiretroviral drug player.
You can play it here.
Infinite are going to be at the Explay conference 2012. Come and visit our booth and play our unveiled titles in development ahead of 2013.
The Extended Play Conference will take place on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd November 2012. The conference will build on last year's successful event, bringing further talks, panels and discussions from industry figures, under three tracks: Inspire: These sessions will be talks designed to inspire creativity, across all areas of game development, from design and writing, to code and art. Share: These sessions will be creators sharing their experiences and stories around all areas of game development. Create: These sessions are designed to have practical take aways, talking about tools, content creation, design and more.
Alongside the conference will run an expo area, where you can play games, chat, have a drink, and hear short talks from the creators throughout the days and in break times.
The sessions will run from 10am-5pm both days, and will be followed by evening events.
Each year Extended Play will explore a key topic or topics which developers can take advantage of to build successful contemporary game properties. Last year the festival focused on 'games as a service', looking at what opportunities and challenges this presents. This year we are looking to inspire, and encourage share knowledge and experiences between all attendees through our three session tracks, with keynotes, talks, panels and fun activities.
Extended Play is also the first games festival in the south west and is also designed to promote and enhance the games industry in the area.

BROOKSVILLE — Authorities detonated a suspicious package outside the PetLuv store on Broad Street Thursday morning, forcing neighboring businesses to close for several hours.
Employees spotted a light brown briefcase partially hidden behind a yellow trash can outside the store about 8 a.m. and called the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, said store manager Cathy Fitzgerald.
"It's very bizarre," she said. "The only thing we usually get dropped off are stray cats."
Several agencies, including the state Fire Marshal's Office in Tampa and the Tampa Bay regional bomb squad, responded. Using a camera-equipped, six-wheeled robotic device nicknamed "Boots," officials exploded the briefcase when they were unable to open it.
"When they finally blasted it, and they did blast it," Fitzgerald said, "they just found briefcase stuff inside it."
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Cinda Moore confirmed that the contents were not dangerous. She said authorities will continue to investigate whether someone left the briefcase outside the shop as a hoax.
The incident was the third bomb scare in Brooksville since October, when officials blew up a suspicious package at the Hernando County Government Center and a week later destroyed another outside a Sears on Cortez Boulevard.
Capt. Brandon Ball, a bomb technician with the State Fire Marshal, said he encounters about two similar events in the region each week. In all, five bomb technicians were called to the scene.
Jason Holt, owner of Happy Tails Pet Supply Outlet next door to PetLuv, said he noticed the briefcase last night while sweeping the sidewalk but didn't find it odd at the time. His shop was among those evacuated this morning.
"Better to err on the side of caution," he said, as he ate a cheeseburger in a nearby parking lot and waited for authorities to allow him back to work. "I do appreciate them being safe. It's just overkill."

A man identifying himself as a police officer reportedly pointed a gun and fired live rounds at a small gathering of demonstrators in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday evening, while another police officer fired live rounds into the air as other police attempted to disperse an anti-FIFA protest during Brazil's World Cup.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that it had video of the officer firing on the crowd while another man who said he was a police officer fired multiple live rounds into the air. The video, in which an officer fires his pistol before driving away on a motorcycle, is here.
What the Associated Press described as a "small but violent and chaotic" protest took place just a mile from the the Maracana stadium, an iconic Brazilian venue that hosted the World Cup final in 1950 and will do so again on July 13 of this year. Police also fired tear gas at the protesters.
A government statement sent to the AP said that protesters had thrown Molotov cocktails at police. The protests that began in Brazil during the Confederations Cup in June 2013 originally focused on the amount Brazil is spending to host the World Cup, but sometimes violent police responses to protesters — and police brutality in other parts of Brazilian society — have sparked demonstrations of their own. The large scale demonstrations, in fact, briefly became known for the fact that Brazilians were taking to the streets with vinegar-soaked rags in an effort to protect themselves from tear gas and pepper spray used by police to quell protesters.
"We're seeing tonight the same police brutality we've seen during the past year, and that's why we have to keep protesting," one protester told the AP.
The AP reported that protesters were smashing windows in businesses as they demonstrated, though The Nation's Dave Zirin, who was near the march, said on Twitter that he did not see that happen. And even if this protest did turn violent thanks to small groups of protesters, the response of police officers to Brazilian protests and larger security and police policies have drawn widespread attention and questioning.
One focus of protests in Rio last summer was the death of a 17-year-old boy during a demonstration, and protesters later focused on Amarildo de Souza, a man whose disappearance from his favela neighborhood was blamed on police; 20 were later investigated and charged with his murder. Brazilian police were also filmed beating a fan in the bathroom of a soccer match earlier this year, and there have been protests against the government policy of pacification, in which police and military forces have (sometimes violently) taken over favelas in an effort to rid them of drug and criminal activity (some residents have told media outlets that the police methods, however, are only making those problems worse).
Brazil, according to international data reported by the Wall Street Journal last year, has one of the highest rates of police brutality in the world, and Human Rights Watch has said that Brazilian police kill more than 1,000 people a year in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Brazil's methods of investigating police brutality and crimes have been criticized as allowing officers to act with impunity — a 2005 report said Brazil's oversight procedures "have been an almost compete failure in bringing about police accountability," and though the situation has improved since, groups like HRW have said much more progress needs to be made.
Brazil planned to spend nearly $1 billion on security around the World Cup, as it trained special police forces and invested in surveillance and other technology. There are fears that large security spending investments and practices against protesters will only further the problems that already exist, and Human Rights Watch and other groups had already called for widespread investigations and policy changes before this latest incident.
A government spokesperson told the AP that "we'll immediately open an investigation into the incident" if the video's accuracy is verified.

#theretreatireland, day 5: amoc jewellery, aunty nellies and the fortyone
Although it was packed with amazing experiences, our week on The Retreat Ireland seemed to zoom by, and suddenly it was our last day.
After my final breakfast at the Marker Hotel — I had a 6:15 a.m. flight the next day (hello!) — we headed off to the village of Greystones via the beautiful Irish coastline. Just look at the photo by my fellow traveler and amazing photographer, Jessica Meade. We got to see the magnificent homes in the seaside towns of Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey, and we even got a glimpse of Bono's house. [Read more…]
#theretreatireland, day 4: the merrion, louise kennedy and o'donoghue's
Although we were exhausted from the past three amazing days on The Retreat Ireland, my blogging soul sister Stacie Haight Connerty and I got up early to do yoga on the roof of The Marker Hotel with Mari Kennedy.
Boy, were we glad we did. [Read more…]
#theretreatireland, day 3: russborough house, dublin and the marker hotel
After packing up and enjoying the last thousand calorie buffet breakfast I was quickly getting used to at the Powerscourt Hotel on The Retreat Ireland, we headed off to Russborough House, a Palladian mansion rightly considered one of the most beautiful in the country. [Read more…]
#theretreatireland, day two: lainey keogh, rocco tullio and the guinness estate
We started Day Two of The Retreat Ireland in a quiet room at the Powerscourt Hotel doing yoga with the adorable Michael Ryan. He definitely knew his audience because his session was gentle and mindful and allowed us to spend a lot of time on our backs.
Afterwards, we went right to the buffet, where I enjoyed my already-usual meal of fruit, scrambled eggs (Powerscourt makes the best I've had in Europe. Usually they're runny, which I can't stomach, but theirs are fluffy and solid and so good. Okay, TMI.) and chocolate croissants. Those may not be part of a traditional Irish breakfast but they were delicious.
Once we were fully fortified for a very busy day, we boarded our little shuttle bus and headed out into the country to visit Lainey Keogh. Now, if you've never heard of Lainey, you're in for a real treat. Start Googling her and you'll see that she's an amazing knitwear designer who's created iconic pieces for some of the biggest rock stars. She's even been featured on an Irish postage stamp!

#theretreatireland, day one: powerscourt, avoca and the irish countryside
If ever a trip seemed custom made for me — and probably you — it's the one I'm on right now.
Led by acclaimed interior designer (and just plain wonderful person) Grania Murray, The Retreat Ireland is an amazing week-long luxury tour of Ireland that's all about shopping, eating and spa-ing. Best of all, Grania takes you into the studios of some of the country's best clothing and home designers and gives you experiences you'd never be able to have on your own.
On this debut press trip, Grania is hosting five writers, and after just the first day, we're all ready to sign up for the official launch — which, by the way, is in November if you're interested. And, trust me, you will be. [Read more…]
join me (virtually!) on "the retreat" in dublin!
This weekend, I leave on The Retreat, a trip I've been drooling over for weeks. When you check out the website, you'll see exactly why.
Led by acclaimed interior designer Grania Murray, whose clients include Pierce Brosnan, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, this is a total luxury trip to Ireland. Seriously, I'll give you another minute to check out the website.

Summer Session – The Mohn Games
For this Summer Session we're thinking about celebrity, and one of the key ways in which celebrity status is produced in the art world is through the winning of prestigious awards. While these awards spotlight contemporary art, they often come at the cost of reducing the conversation around works to their marketability, and introduce the artists themselves to a number of ceaseless public media inquiries.

Sussex's problems with the weather this season continued today as the second day of their County Championship with Middlesex was completely washed out.
The umpires made the decision to abandon play for the day without a ball being bowled at 1.10pm following heavy overnight rain which saturated the outfield.
With no play possible on the opening day either the match looks destined to finish in a draw, especially with the forecast for the next two days suggesting further rain.
It is a blow for wicketkeeper Matt Prior who had been hoping to play as a specialist batsman in the match as he steps up his comeback from an Achilles injury.
It also adds to the frustration felt by Sussex who were in strong positions against Lancashire and Durham this season only for rain to disrupt those matches.

Missing teens charged and put on tethers
Mon, 09 Sep 2013 23:35:17 GMT —
The missing 14-year-olds who were found Sunday in Chicago were in Isabella County probate court Monday morning.
Jayden Thomas of Clare and Braxton Wood of Mt. Pleasant were charged with being runaways. Both pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The boyfriend and girlfriend were also put on GPS tethers and then released to their parents.
Thomas and Wood went missing August 26.
Professional Investigator Michael Cook who is on the case said the teens ran away from home, taking the Wood family's black Ford Explorer to Chicago.
Cook received a call from a man in Chicago who said he saw Braxton.
"He was literally standing next to the Ford Explorer," said Cook.
Cook said the man took a picture of the vehicle and sent it to him to confirm that it was their car.
Soon after that Cook said Chicago police showed up and took the teenagers into custody at the 19th District Chicago Police Department.
"It was just a great moment when your hair stands up on your arms, just to know that you've been a part of something to bring someone back together," said Cook.
Cook said he was never given a reason for why the teenagers left.
Once the teenagers were taken into custody Cook said he called the police station to make sure it was them.
"I could hear a lot of people in the background they were saying, 'Oh, those are those kids!', they were happy that the kids were found," said Cook.
Cook spoke with one of the officers who took Wood and Thomas into custody.
"He asked them their names and I heard Jayden say her name, Jayden Thomas, and I heard Braxton say his name," said Cook. "It was just a big weight lifted off my shoulders."
Cook said the parents were shocked to find out the teenagers were in Chicago.
"Almost like, they were like, is there a Chicago, MI?" said Cook.
A preliminary exam for Thomas is scheduled for Sept. 23.
Wood's preliminary exam is scheduled for Sept. 25.

Premier League chief Richard Scudamore favors adding 39th game
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore says he is in favor of adding a 39th game to the schedule and the league's squads want the same thing, he told the BBC.
Each Premier League team currently plays 19 games on the road and 19 games at home. The proposal was brought up six years ago, but was quickly dismissed by soccer fans.
Scudamore thinks adding an extra game abroad would attract more fans.
"The clubs wanted it then and they all would still probably want it now," Scudamore told the BBC. "It will happen at some point - whether it is on my watch, who knows?"

Premier League often play friendly matches overseas. Manchester United and Real Madrid played in front of 109,318 fans at Michigan Stadium on Aug. 2.
United and Liverpool played the International Champions Cup final in front of more than 50,000 fans at Sun Life Stadium in Miami last week.
"What has been interesting over the summer, particularly in the US, watching those audiences, you could argue that we don't need to do it [bring in the 39th game]," Scudamore said.

Detailed Description:
The overall aim of Combining Medications to Enhance Depression Outcomes (CO-MED) is to enhance remission rates for outpatients with chronic or recurrent nonpsychotic major depressive disorder (MDD) as defined by DSM-IV TR, treated in primary or psychiatric care settings.
Current evidence indicates that remission, the goal of treatment, is found in only about one-third of representative depressed outpatients treated for up to 14 weeks with an initial SSRI. In addition, even for those who do respond or remit, over one-third relapse in the subsequent 12 months. Combinations of antidepressants are used in practice at the second or subsequent steps when relapse occurs in the longer term, or, in some cases, even acutely as a first step when speed of effect is a clinical priority. Whether such combinations could potentially offer higher remission rates, lower attrition, or greater longer-term benefit if used as initial treatments as compared to monotherapy remains to be examined.
CO-MED will test whether two different medications when given in combination as the first treatment step, compared to one medication, will enhance remission rates, increase speed of remission, be tolerable, and provide better sustained benefits in the longer term. Results of this study will inform practitioners in managing the treatment of patients with chronic or recurrent MDD.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:

Inclusion Criteria:
- Seeking treatment at the primary or specialty care site, and be planning to continue living in the area of that clinic for the duration of the study

Headlights @ The Bay View Brew Haus
Dec. 11, 2009
Since Headlights released its sophomore album Some Racing, Some Stopping in early 2008, there has been little to no stopping for the Champaign, Ill.-based indie band. In the year-plus that followed Some Racing's release, the band parted ways with guitarist John Owen, had its music featured on a CNN ad, toured extensively and found time to release two albums.
The busy band came to Bay View Brew Haus last Friday to support its latest full-length, Wildlife, and make its second-to-last tour stop before taking a well-deserved rest. But if Headlights was worn down, it didn't show in the group's energetic 45-minute set.
The Polyvinyl Records band took the stage following a solid surprise opening performance by the electro-pop outfit Pretty Good Dance Moves, a short The Friendly Lens set wrought in blaring church organs, and The Celebrated Workingman's infusion of up-tempo rock 'n' roll and creative megaphone usage.
Headlights illuminated the dim Brew Haus with 11 songs that touched on each of the band's previous albums. They got the show rolling with "Get Yer Head Around It," which found the solitary guitar and vocal intro of Tristan Wraight evolving into a bustling hymn of drum rolls and three-part harmonies.
Despite the fact that nearly half the set hinged on the downtrodden and brooding Wildlife, Headlights seemed to hold the interest of the modest-sized crowd for the show's entirety with a smiling execution of the set list. Erin Fein's beautiful, soothing voice and dazzling keyboard work didn't hurt either. Nick Sanborn, also of Milwaukee's Decibully, applied an extra coat of energy and depth with his walking bass lines and warm harmonies.
Onlookers paired off to dance near the stage throughout the show, especially during "Cherry Tulips."
In all, Headlights took a show that could easily have been a sulking reiteration of its newest album and instead pieced together an entertaining monument to a band that has been continually growing and seldom slowing since its 2004 formation.

Fat: The Next Big Cure?
Sharon at RealSelf on 17 Nov 2010 at 4:55am
Stem cells are a divisive issue, but what if you could cure diseases and get thinner too? That's the (basic) premise behind a grant awarded to researchers at UCLA, who will investigate whether liposuction is a viable source for stem cells. If successful, the cells could be used to treat debilitating conditions like osteoporosis and spine disorders.
So how does it work? "While it is a relatively well-known fact that stem cells can be derived from human embryos, what plastic surgeons are learning now is that we don't lose all of them during development," says Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez, a plastic surgeon from Baltimore. "The stem cells have easy access to any potentially damaged area, where they can assist in repairing and creating new tissue."
What's next? Someday, stem cells may also provide an alternative to facelifts, breast reconstruction and scar repair, although many doctors on RealSelf note that we are still far from that goal. Nonetheless, early signs are positive. "[Dr.] Sydney Coleman in New York City has amazing pictures of patients with facial scars that appear to vanish years after fat has been placed under them," comments Dr. Michael Persky. "I have seen improvement in skin tone and texture in my patients as well."
Some doctors have begun setting up their own trials, using fat grafting as a repair technique. If you think this might benefit you, look for local doctors and ask about any ongoing research in the area.

Too Much Clutter? Why It Could Be Costing You
I love January because it is my best time for de-cluttering and organizing my home and getting a fresh start. The colder weather keeps us in doors more, so not only do we notice more clutter, but we have the time to actually do something about it. Weekends are perfect for major de-cluttering and organizing sessions, but I try to fit in at least 15-30 minutes a day, each day, during the week, in order to make some real progress on our clutter. A few days ago, I attacked my food pantries. Yesterday, I started following Peter Walsh's 31-day challenge … Continue reading

Volunteers are needed to make a difference in the lives of older adults in Fortuna. The Humboldt Senior Resource Center's Fortuna Lunch Site is again in need of drivers to deliver nutritional well-balanced meals to home-bound seniors.
"We currently have ten drivers, but need two more," said Fortuna Site Coordinator Launa Salsbery. "Most drivers deliver one day a week (Monday through Thursday) around 11 a.m. or noon."
Four days a week, 24 Fortuna seniors have meals delivered to them. Along with their hot meal delivered on Thursday, they also receive a frozen meal to cook on Friday.
"This important program helps people remain independent and stay in their homes," said Humboldt Senior Resource Center Director of Nutrition Barbara Walser.
"For many of our participants, the volunteer driver is the only person to interact with the senior during the day," she said.
Salsbery said Fortuna has three routes for meal deliveries and each driver has six to eight seniors they visit.
Volunteers must be 18 years old or older, have a valid driver's license and reliable automobile with current insurance coverage, and be able to life 25 pounds. Some mileage reimbursement is available. More information is available by calling 725-6245 or send an email to email@example.com.

Q I live on Branciforte Drive and I am wondering if there is a start date yet to fix the washout on our road and the one on Glen Canyon. Last I heard, the contractor promised to have it completed by now.
Gina Weeks, Facebook
A Visit http://www.dpw.co.santa-cruz.ca.us/ and click on "Advertised Projects" to view county public works' current projects out to bid. Glen Canyon is listed, with Branciforte coming soon, according to an official there. The agency is waiting for one last permit from the state for the project, approved by the county board of supervisors June 24. For further questions, call 831-454-2160.
Q This advice may be too late for your trip with your family but I am frantically packing for our own road trip and thought of your request for help keeping young folks entertained. Maybe something here can help:
• Books on CD or tape from the library.
• Bribery. I don't like this option much but it has helped sometimes. "If you don't make noise for one hour, you will get x, y and z."
• A tablet or iPad with lots of video. Get them their own iCloud account but use your one iTunes account for all movies and apps so you can all share your iTunes account. Apps like Minecraft have versions that allow offline playing.
• Try an iPod. When I was commuting with my daughter in pre-school, she was a screamer all the way over Highway 17. I finally learned to plug up one ear with an iPod and a book on tape and let her scream.
• Podcasts. There are tons of free Podcasts. Hearing something such as "CarTalk" might be enough to get the kids to listen for a while.
• Rent an RV. At least they can eat and (use the restroom).
• Do you TiVo? We love our Tivo more so now that they have an app to download content to a smartphone or tablet.
I have tried Benadryl also but it didn't work and I felt horrible. It won't be forever that they act like this but turning to drugs can be a danger in the long run.
Let them scream. As long as they are not tossing each other out of the car or hitting you then it really doesn't matter.
Hope some of this helps. If you found anything else that works, I hope you post it later in your column. Us parents can learn from each other.
Diana Adamic, via email
A Thank you so much for your tips. I already do the rewards and consequences but I am going to have to try the books on CD as well as movies and games on our tablet.

Composer Looks Back at Body of Work
Jonathan Green has composed more than 40 pieces of music for Sweet Briar's Concert Choir during his time as a professor and dean at the College.
For his final Spring Choir Concert before taking a new post as provost and dean of the faculty at Illinois Wesleyan University, Green has selected highlights from this 15-year collaboration with the student choir to include on the program. The concert will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 27 in Memorial Chapel. It is free and open to the public.
"From semester to semester I tried to write things that would be a good fit," Green said, recalling some particularly poignant moments over the years.
Among the works is a poem he put to music. It was written by Molly Brown, daughter of fellow professors John and Carrie Brown — a child at the time, though she is a young woman now. They'll also end the concert with a composition that he wrote in the days immediately after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
A concert was planned for families' weekend in October of that year. They felt they had to acknowledge the attacks, so he wrote the piece and the choir learned it in that brief span of time — and it has not been performed since.
"It was evocative of what was happening both in the country and on campus at the time," Green said. "We spent the first four or five days trying to track down recent alumnae."
They also will sing Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater," a favorite of Green's that he has conducted with the choir before. The Pergolesi features the choir, strings, harpsichord, and soloists Sarah Schofield '11, voice instructor Marcia Thom, Christine McRae '14, Caroline Lacy '14 and Beth Rizzo. For more information, e-mail [email protected] or call (434) 381-6205.

It's one of the biggest cliffhangers in network television: What happens next … to serialized shows?

"Our offense came from our defense," said Vikings head coach Rocket Collins.
Valencia senior Cory Otavka got the visitors on track early, scoring 15 points in the first half alone, including three 3-pointers.
Otavka's range caught Canyon (8-18, 2-8) off guard and after a fast start, Valencia (17-9, 5-5) built a lead of 50-18 going into halftime.
The hot shooting and shut-down defense continued into the second half as the Vikings cruised to victory.
Sophomore Lonnie Jackson finished with 16 points, including three threes, while senior Toki Oshodi added 10 for Valencia.
Freshman center Brandon Perry and senior Michael Edwards each posted 10 points for the Cowboys.
On senior night, Canyon said goodbye to Edwards, Dylan Defelicis, Gian Gamboa, Kyle Barrett, Joe Real and Jonathan Lawson.
Yet Cowboys head coach Chad Phillips looked ahead to the future and a group of guys who have learned a lot from this season.
"We said downstairs (in the locker room), we are going to dedicate any future success to our '09 seniors because they never gave up," said Phillips.

"You wanna climb up the stairs / I wanna push you back down" begins Burst Apart, suggesting that The Antlers' follow up to their breakthrough Hospice could be another harrowing story of abuse. As the album unfolds, however, it turns out that Burst Apart is much more complex than its predecessor, both emotionally and musically. Hospice was simple in its premise: one man in an awful situation with a strong desire to get him and his loved one out of it. Burst Apart is a series of meditations on other life struggles, disconnected from each other, but they all build a human centre to the album that brings the album to a living whole. Like last time, Peter Silberman portrays a man whose neuroses eat away at him, but this time his reaction seems to be mostly grim acceptance of his situations.
"Rolled Together" the fifth song and centre of the album – is the key here thematically. Although there are only two lines repeated – "rolled together with a burning paper heart / rolled together but about to burst apart," this summarises the recurring worries beautifully. He doesn't feel in control of his life (they've been rolled together); he feels strongly, but painfully and maybe not genuinely (he has a burning paper heart); and when things are getting to be too serious they self destruct: burst apart.
The exorcism of the inner turmoil is helped greatly by the musical soundscapes, which are much more than mere backdrops on this album. The undulating synths characterise the agitation of "I Don't Want Love," the forlorn organ of "No Widows" emphasises the despair, the relatively frantic guitar and mandolin in "Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out" show that even in sleep there's no peace from this depression. Moreover, The Antlers have proven here that they are masters of sonic composition. There are nods here to other artists – notably Amnesiac-era Radiohead in the mechanistic build and cut of "Parentheses," and Björk at its poppier moments – but for the most part The Antlers let their own sound bloom. The level of depth and detail in the songs are beyond what would normally be expected from a three piece still this early in their genesis. Supplementary layers such as bubbling electronics, regal horns, and even wind-tunnel sound effects adorn most songs to the point of drowning out the vocals on some occasions – which I don't doubt was the intention since Silberman's characters here are being drowned by their emotions. Note must also be given to Silberman's vocals, notably his soaring falsetto, which communicates his melodramatic mood even in lyrically sparse songs like "Hounds" and "Corsicana."
All of this builds to the album's magnificent conclusion, "Putting The Dog To Sleep," in which Silberman considers an ultimate possibility of a breakup: dying alone. However, Silberman brilliantly turns the song on its head, for once taking into account the words of his partner: "I can't prove to you you're not gonna die alone, but trust me to take you home, and clean up that blood that's all over your paws." It's perhaps the thing you least expected from Burst Apart: a last minute happy ending snatched from the jaws of despair. And Burst Apart is full of wonderful little surprises like this, that add up to two big ones: that The Antlers didn't try to follow up Hospice by repeating themselves, and nevertheless, that they have delivered a more than worthy successor.
Plugging away since 1999, The National finally hit mainstream success with the release of their 2010 album High Violet. Of course, this entailed their first world tour, but in the new documentary Mistaken For Strangers, it's only the backdrop for the relationship between lead singer Matt Berninger and his younger brother Tom, who had no idea that these short videos he was shooting would turn into a public document of their troubled, if still loving brotherhood.

Well it's all downhill from here.... I finally sent this thing yesterday!
It's an outstanding route. The rock is immaculate and the climbing is very interesting. To say it is technical, is an understatement. I did about 50 moves to get to the 4th bolt which is only about 30 feet up! Remembering it all is a great challenge. Furthermore, it is one of the more sustained routes I've done in the canyon; the redpoint is in doubt until you clip the last bolt. My only complaint is that it is hell on your fingertips!
Polish your footwork, train you mono strength, then give this a run.

|Sitting in Limbo is one awesome technical route. I remember it being certainly one of the most intricate routes I have ever done. As Mike said, it is not over till you clip the anchors. The story of my send was pretty funny. After two days and four or five tries, I finally pulled through the heinous mono-crux, only to find I should of worked the top a little better. As I cranked the upper 5.11 layback moves I was so pumped and afraid of falling (because I'd have to repeat the tweaky bottom again) I started shaking violently. Somehow I held on and pulled through, primarily from the motivation of not having to repeat the bottom section! Great route. I highly recommend it for any climber that is up to the grade! Personally, I didn't think the grade could be harder than 13b.

Chief Charlie Beck Sworn-In:
Los Angeles Police Department
Chief Charlie Beck
By Francis Taylor
Sentinel Staff Writer
One week ago the City of Los Angeles celebrated the traditional swearing-in of her 56th Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) when 32-year LAPD veteran Charlie Beck was sworn-in by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
In the presence of Beck's family members, members of the Los Angeles City Council and Police Commission, Elected Officials, and members of the community, Chief Beck spoke with pride and humility as he accepted the mantle of leadership while acknowledging the mentors and supporters who, throughout his celebrated career with the LAPD, contributed to his ascension to become the City of Angels' Top Cop.
"I am humbled by the position," Beck said as he acknowledged the nearly 10,000 sworn officers and 3,000 civilian employees who comprise the LAPD. "I appreciate this opportunity and I will not let you down."
Beck's appointment follows the vacancy created by the voluntary resignation of Chief William Bratton who is credited with establishing a new direction of leadership which has contributed to an unprecedented decline in crime in the city and an homicide rate that is the best in decades.
John Mack, President of the Los Angeles Police Commission, whose role is to provide governance, oversight, and policy direction for the LAPD said, "this is a proud day for the LAPD and all of the citizens of this great city. Beck will lead by example based upon a platform of service to others."
Willis Edwards, Community Leader and NAACP National Board Member said, "I expect Chief Beck will bring the community together and instill a feeling of fairness as our community works together with the police department to fight crime."
Rev. Leonard Jackson, Sr. Advisor to the Mayor of Los Angles said of Chief Beck's appointment, "with any new appointment one may always be sure of change and in Chief Beck's case, I hope there will be positive change as he embraces the diversity of Los Angeles and continues to move in a positive direction."
Civil Rights Attorney Connie Rice was also present to witness Chief Beck's swearing-in and indicated that she too anticipates improvement among members of the police force. "I hope that he will drive change down through the rank and file and throughout the Los Angeles Police Department so that we may see the change in our community."
Mayor Villaraigosa, in his opening remarks highlighted Beck's illustrious career leading up to his most recent appointment and set the stage for measuring his performance going forward.
"I look to members of the Los Angeles Police Department to understand the obligation to serve the members of the community" he said. "We have the strongest, most well equipped force the city has seen. We have made progress but we have much work to do.

In a conversation with Alonzo King, one word keeps coming back like a peregrine falcon to its master: Truth.
It's both a mantra and a goal for the San Francisco-based choreographer, whose company, Alonzo King LINES Ballet, will perform at the Laguna Dance Festival this week.
"So often with critics and audiences, (interpreting dance) is all about their personal likes and dislikes," said King. "For me it's all about ideas and intentions. Are they clear? Do they work? Are they true?"
King's company will present "Dust and Light," a deceptively simple work performed quietly in and around rectangular pools of light. In a video of the work that can be seen on YouTube, the dancers' movements look precise, focused, lyrical but not indulgent. The world they present is exotic yet detailed and fully formed.
"The dancers are involved in truth-telling as well," King said. "They're (striving for) accuracy in the interpretation of the score and the understanding of the choreographic intent."
Born in Georgia in 1952, King grew up in Santa Barbara but spent the early part of his career in New York, training at George Balanchine's School of American Ballet and other places before returning to the West Coast about three decades ago.
King is from a distinguished and active civil rights family. His grandfather, C.W. King, founded the Albany Georgia chapter of the NAACP. His uncles include the civil rights lawyer C.B. King and the philosopher Preston King.
His father Slater was a pioneer in the development of low-income housing and racial integration in residential neighborhoods. Slater King corresponded with some of the most prominent Americans of his day, including President John F. Kennedy, Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and W.E.B. Du Bois.
King's company, founded in 1982, is an apt reflection of his quiet yet intense choreographic philosophy. Dance writer Jennifer Homans, who experienced King as a student, describes his dancers as "beautifully trained, sensitive, intelligent, and physically elegant in ways that are rare in today's more acrobatic and athletically inclined dance world."
The work they dance slightly resembles Balanchine's controlled and often internalized style of ballet-based modernism, but it's more probing, exploring psychological depths and Zen-like contemplative states that were well beyond the realm of the Russian master.
Audiences love his work. King is one of the busiest contemporary ballet choreographers in the profession; his 165 ballets are in the repertoire of more than 50 companies around the world.
King is fond of talking about his process and the challenges of remaining fresh over the course of a long and fruitful career. Like every successful artist, he is mindful of stagnation.
"The wonderful thing about ruts is you have to become creative to get out of one. A rut (is caused) by too much self-regard. To get creative and free yourself, you have to stop thinking about yourself.
"The most important thing you own as an artist is curiosity. Asking yourself, 'How do I look at this in a completely different way?'"
One of the reasons he returned to the West Coast, King said, was to reconnect to the natural world – something that's not easy to do in Manhattan.
"I need to get to a spot and see the horizon and the ceiling of the sky uninterrupted. That brings peace, or at least a place where I can be still and quiet. If (life is) all clamor and noise you're being stimulated by the external all the time. If you're in the business of speaking truthfully about things you need some contemplation and quiet and solitude."
King has been working at UC Irvine on a large choreography that combines the members of his company with those of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (the work will not be seen at the Laguna Dance Festival).
The collaboration was born when Hubbard Street artistic director Glenn Edgerton visited King's studio a couple of years ago and watched his dancers in rehearsal.
"He said, 'Alonzo, I'd really like you to come work with my dancers. Your company is really process-oriented. I want (my dancers) to be asking the deeper questions about themselves.'"
King acknowledges that with a work of that size, his preferred method of careful exploration bumps up against financial and schedule issues. But King doesn't compromise easily.
"Let's face it: in this crazy high-speed world where attention spans are broken so easily and life is incredibly demanding, if you have people who want to sit in a dark space for two hours, you don't want to be insincere. You want to bring some profundity to their lives.
"All the things that we admire in the human character I want to see onstage. I want my dances to be an example of how life should be lived."

Japan formally agreed Thursday to enter government-level negotiations on bilateral free-trade agreements with Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, raising its tally of ongoing FTA talks to five.
The accords were struck as Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi held separate summits with Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on the sidelines of the two-day Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit that started Thursday.
Japan hopes to hold the initial FTA meetings in January, with the goal of completing them in around a year, according to a Japanese official who briefed reporters.
But the talks are sure to face several roadblocks, because Japan must open up its markets in the politically touchy farm and labor sectors if it is going to gain more access to Asian markets.
Japan, which has only one FTA, with Singapore, is accelerating efforts to clinch more. It recently resumed talks with Mexico after failing to meet the original goal for a basic agreement in October. Government-level talks with South Korea, capping years of preparatory steps, are to start later this month.
Compared with the Mexico and South Korea talks, negotiations with ASEAN nations could be even more challenging, as some will demand that Japan accept immigrants in exchange for an increased flow of industrial goods.
"There might be difficult issues, but the point is to start the talks," Thaksin was quoted by a Japanese official as telling Koizumi.
Thailand is keen to expand access of such farm goods as rice, chickens, sugar and starch. It is also interested in various service sectors, including hospitals and Thai massage. The Philippines is demanding Japan accept its nurses and caregivers.
The biggest point of contention with Malaysia, meanwhile, is the maximum 300 percent tariff it currently levies on Japanese cars.
The key in these talks will be whether Japan can resolve its oft-criticized lack of coordination on trade policy, observers said.
During marathon talks with Mexico in October, Japanese negotiators — sent over from the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the agricultural ministry — often sat on their hands on key proposals so they could take them back to their respective ministries for further consultation.
Japan will face an even bigger challenge coordinating its policy on labor issues, as the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry and the Justice Ministry will join in.
"There should be a mechanism where negotiators can reach a conclusion right at the negotiating table," said Tsutomu Sugiura, director of Marubeni Research Institute, a think tank affiliated with the major trading house.
The ASEAN leaders also acknowledged Koizumi's decision to send Self-Defense Forces personnel to engage in reconstruction and humanitarian efforts in Iraq.
Koizumi stressed that the troops will not engage in combat, including U.S.-led operations to stamp out terrorists, according to a Japanese official.
"The cooperation of the international society is important," Arroyo was quoted as saying. "Therefore, we welcome Japan's involvement."
Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines have also dispatched troops and government officials to Iraq and its neighboring countries.
Malaysia's Abdullah, who opposes the U.S.-led coalition authority in Iraq, said Japan's decision will not affect relations with his nation.
"Although we have a certain opinion on U.S. activities, the decision of the SDF dispatch was made by Japan," Abdullah said.
But he added that international society should take part in Iraq's reconstruction efforts, with strong involvement from the United Nations.

Dysfunction Fuels Cycle of Killing in New Orleans
By ADAM NOSSITER and CHRISTOPHER DREW
Published: February 5, 2007
When the body was brought out, the two little boys did not stop chewing their sticky blue candy or swigging from their pop bottles. The 18-year-old mother wheeling her baby came to watch, and the teenager with the spiky hair and the bulky duffle coat was laughing up on the worn stoop.
Only the cries of Linda Holmes -- ''Oh, Lord, have mercy on me, Jesus, oh my baby!'' she said, over and over -- were a tip-off that this was her teenage son Ronald the man in the lab coat was laboring to pull out of the empty apartment in the Iberville housing project.
It was another death in New Orleans -- violent, casual, probably drug related and, by the time the sobbing and the laughter had faded, covered over in the silence that is the only resolution of many such killings here. The gurney holding Ronald was pushed into the coroner's van, the gawkers stepped back from their balconies and the police furled their yellow tape. ''It's messed up around here,'' said the mother with the stroller, Ariane Ellis.
There has been no arrest.
There were 161 homicides in this city last year, and there have been 18 so far this year, making New Orleans by most measures the nation's per capita murder capital, given its sharply reduced population. Many of the victims and the suspects are teenagers. About two-thirds of the deaths have gone unsolved: the killers, in many cases, continue to walk the streets and are likely to kill again, the police say.
Other cities have plenty of murders. But only in New Orleans has there been the uniquely poisoned set of circumstances that has led to this city's position at the top of the homicide charts. Every phase of the killing cycle here unfolds under the dark star of dysfunction: the murderers' brutalized childhoods, the often ineffectual police intervention, a dulled community response, and a tense relationship between the police and prosecutors that lets many cases slip through the cracks.
Hurricane Katrina's devastation loosened the fragile social restraints even further, making the city perhaps more dangerous than ever.
The storm also pushed a teetering criminal justice system over the edge. The evidence in hundreds of criminal cases was lost, and the flood destroyed the police crime lab, which has not been rebuilt. Often, drugs cannot be tested at other locations before the deadline for bringing charges. Yet the police are trying to stop the violence by arresting more drug users and street dealers, many of whom are quickly released, spinning the jail door faster than ever and fueling the carnage.
In the Central City neighborhood last June, five teenagers in a sport utility vehicle were killed in a drug feud. The police said the 19-year-old suspect had been arrested 11 times in the previous 30 months. But he had been acquitted on an attempted murder charge, the district attorney's office had dropped some of the other charges for lack of evidence, and he was out on bail on drug and gun charges at the time of the killings.
Last year, about 3,100 people who were arrested, mostly for drug offenses, were released from jail or their bail obligation when the deadlines passed for charges to be filed, records show. That was nearly three times the rate before the storm. More than 500 others were released in January alone, including one in a murder case and two arrested for attempted murder.
In some neighborhoods, people refer to ''misdemeanor murders,'' or ''60-day murders,'' the length of time suspects can be held without charges. The police superintendent, Warren J. Riley, often blames prosecutors for refusing other cases and the courts for letting violent suspects out on bail. Though Mr. Riley declined to be interviewed for this article, he recently told Gambit Weekly, a local newspaper, that he was tired of having to re-arrest the same people who had been let out of jail.
''We can't be as successful fighting crime as we would like to be until the rest of the criminal justice system works like it's supposed to work,'' Mr. Riley told the newspaper. ''We have to keep hard-core felons in jail.''
But the district attorney, Eddie Jordan, and several judges say that shoddy police work, and a general mistrust of officers by witnesses and jurors, doom many cases. Witnesses also fear retaliation on the street.
''It's an insurmountable problem,'' Mr. Jordan said. ''By the time the investigative report is presented to our office, a good number of witnesses are no longer available or have gotten afraid to testify. That's the biggest problem in murder cases.''
And even as city and federal officials announce new anticrime measures, doubts persist.
Terry Q. Alarcon, a longtime criminal court judge, said, ''The criminal justice system has always had two major problems: a lack of funding and a lack of cooperation.''
A Legacy of Mistrust
The Police Department's history of brutality and its emphasis on minor arrests have fed the mistrust and alienated many people who might be witnesses. Prosecutors and judges have criticized police officers as failing to investigate cases sufficiently, taking too long to write arrest reports and ducking subpoenas to appear in court.

LOVE this shirt!
This is a lovely shirt and hangs really well. The fabric is really soft and I ordered the pink combo which is slightly lighter than the pic but is still lovely and feminine! Great shirt to cover my 38FF bust and not gape or come undone! The back is quite long but the shape at the front is lovely as you can see. Would def buy again in another colour if available.
I LOVE this top. Being heavier in the chest area I have a terribly hard time finding button-downs that I don't have to excessively size up in order to fit the chest (typically 32D -- 32H when nursing). Which is why I'm baffled that one reviewer said it runs small. It has a very roomy, airy feel and runs PLENTY big. I got my usual size small (not including standard button-downs, which I always have to size up) but easily could have gotten an XS if available. I also love that the button hits just above the middle point of my bra -- just enough coverage, just enough sexy. And the ruffle adds the right amount of feminine. I got the brown and I've found the color to be as rich as that pictured. Even the embellished buttons add a nice finishing touch. Overall great top and I'm going to be getting the other color too. Only wish it came in a navy or grey shade!!
Cute and love color
I bought the buttercup and the color is exactly as shown in picture. I love it. Unfortunately the size seems to run a little smaller than than expected although it could be my fault since I love a bigger bloucy look. I am returning it to exchange for a bigger size.
