This remake of Living Dead maestro George A Romero's little seen 1973 flick is a reasonably efficient horror movie that packs in plenty of shocks. Creepy visuals and clinical direction squeeze every possible jolt from a script that staggeringly opts to remove the characterisation and social commentary of the original. Consequently, The Crazies is a passive experience that feels like watching someone else playing a gory video game. Albeit a very well produced game where you wonder what perilous scenarios await.
Taking place solely in a remote town in Iowa, Sheriff Dutton (Olyphant) is forced to take action when one of the locals behaves in a threatening and nonsensical manner. This behaviour soon spreads and the 'infected' are turned into zombie-like killers whose sole instinct is to kill. The government quickly seal off the area and those left - led by the Sheriff - are forced to fight both 'crazies' and soldiers for survival. Who can they trust though, especially as a 'crazy' might be lurking among their own ranks and be liable to turn homicidal at any moment?
The first half of the movie, where the threat is established, ramps up the tension superbly. The washed-out colours that are used to depict the environment create an unsettling Romero-esque vibe and the sense of isolation and brewing chaos is gripping. It's only in the movie's latter section that the quality deteriorates, as the plot homes in on a small group of survivors whose characters have barely been given a second thought beforehand.
Casting Timothy Olyphant in the lead role misfires badly, as he's seemingly unable to reign in the wild-eyed glares that make him look more maniacal than heroic. The story would have benefitted from a central protagonist we could really trust and root for. Radha Mitchell is criminally underused, with her role so thinly developed that her defining characteristics could be scribbled on the back of a postage stamp. "Sheriff's wife. Pregnant." There's nothing more to her part than that. Poor lass.
The Crazies has an over-reliance on 'tap on the shoulder' style thrills to generate tension, although director Breck Eisner does pull these off with aplomb. Two scenes, one involving an electric saw in a mortuary and another in a car wash, are genuinely terrifying and display enough invention to keep our eyes continuously peeled. However, the only time you'll be reaching for the sick bucket is when one character opts for self-sacrifice as a means of saving the others. This is truly horrific as the person's last moments before death are bathed in such sickly sentimentalism that it evokes the risible demise of Bruce Willis in Armageddon.
Far from perfect, The Crazies is disposable and enjoyable at the same time. The characters are merely throwaway plot functions, but the world in which they live is so absorbingly depicted as it shifts from the mundane into a nightmare. Don't expect the little grey cells to be stimulated while watching the movie. Do expect several shivers down the spine at regular intervals.

In 11 studies conducted at Harvard University and other places – researchers found that most people would rather electrocute themselves than spend 15 minutes alone in a room with nothing to do but think.
Now the research subjects were not strapped to a death producing electric chair. But all they had in the room with them – in addition to their minds – was a machine for administrating small electrical shocks – which were indeed painful.
In the 15 minute time period, almost two thirds of the subjects gave themselves three or more electric shocks out of sheer boredom – seemingly unable or unwilling to spend a short amount of time exploring their own minds. One man administered 190 shocks to himself rather than just sit quietly with nothing to do.
So what does this mean?
Some would argue that this means that the attention span of the general population is slowly eroding away to non-existence. Why? It seems our addiction to electronic devices like smart phones and television and the allure of computerized media tools such as Facebook and Twitter is causing our attention to dwindle. Simultaneously the non-in-person interaction all these digital options provide makes us crave more stimulation so much – that electric shocks are better than the boredom of silent thought.
Most people seem to prefer to be doing something rather than nothing, even if that something is negative and painful. And sit quietly alone and meditate even for 15 minutes, forget about it.
How far does this go? I know people and you probably do too, who just cannot be still. They are always plugged into their smart phone, constantly interacting with their email, Facebook, Twitter and all the rest. They do this all day long, even during meals. Heaven forbid they miss something. If they check their Facebook and nothing new has been posted since the last time they looked, they feel disappointed and even sad.
The Harvard researchers duly noted that analytical and critical thinking is what defines us as human beings and is an essential skill when deliberating the future or recalling the past. The notion that a startlingly high number of individuals – perhaps the majority of under the age of 40 or so, seemingly now cannot or will not engage in analytical and critical thinking is highly disturbing and does not bode well for the continuation of the human species.
The French scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal nailed it when he said, "All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room."
And none other than Albert Einstein wrote, "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of IDIOTS."
See how long you can go without checking your email? How long can you stand having your cell phone switched off? Can you last through one day, a week end? How long can you go without logging onto Facebook, a couple of hours? How addicted are you?
And the acid test, can you sit alone in a room without the television or radio on for 15 minutes and do nothing but think? And if you can do this, do you like it or hate it. How uncomfortable are you without the usual bombardment of electronic stimulation? Would you ever consider sitting quietly alone for 15 minutes once a day as part of the routine of taking care of your analytical and critical thinking skill? Yes or no.
Napoleon Hill wrote the following about thinking. "Every one of us is self-made. The habits that we select and internalize are the component parts of our success composition. Our habits of thought are the most important ones to cultivate first since once control is gained over these, it will be simple to follow the marching orders that we assign to ourselves. By first controlling our thoughts and balancing our emotions, we then can select the most expedient road to our goal in life. In disciplining ourselves to take proper action, we are notifying our ego that we mean business in achieving what we want in life. You cannot take possession of your own mind or direct it to definite ends without a practical system – a system of self-discipline.
So electric shocks or quiet analytical critical thinking, what will it be for you for me and for our society as a whole? Maybe we should learn about this in school. Although by the time kids reach school age these days it might already be too late. They may already be addicted to electronic stimulation. Certainly they have already consumed thousands of hours of television and they probably already have cell phones and a Facebook page.
We're probably doomed.

Buying Land In The Philippines
Early spring is a popular time for buying (and consequently promoting) homes, so, now's the time to get your property available on the market. I'm always attempting to teach realtors how I can make them more cash through the use of pro images. Prepare Seller's estimated closing assertion (displaying payoff expenses per written demand and vendor's agreed to closing costs) for signature prior to closing.
By the best way, I am unable to help but notice that each one those against FSBO's are all real property agents here. Making a mistake in pricing, marketing, authorized compliance or paperwork can have critical repercussions, both monetary and legal.
Billings By Proprietor is a great worth, saving us realtor commissions. These are things that you simply and the seller might have never thought to work out on your own. If a realtor is selling your private home he/she goes to be strolling folks by at any time throughout the day so you may at all times need to be ready for patrons to traipse via your own home.
You probably have been working with a realtor while looking at different properties, however then set your eyes on an FSBO property, you will not be able to show to your realtor for help with the sale. Anyone who needs to promote their home, and needs it to sell it fast, will rent a real estate agent to get the job done.
Alternatively, a house seller can either pay a flat-fee or hourly fee to an actual estate agent. You do have to get the seller's permission to run this report, but when you do, it may be obtained for below $20. In the present day 92% of buyers start their search on-line, be certain that your property is seen on as many sites as doable with.…

The Irish border and Brexit
12th Apr 2018
Leaving the EU means there would have to be border controls between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
That's a matter of speculation at the moment. Some sort of customs checks on goods crossing the border would be needed, but not necessarily passport checks or stopping everyone.
"There would have to be border controls but not a prevention of genuine Irish from coming in across the border"
Lord Lawson, Vote Leave campaign, 10 April 2016
"I think that the land border we share with Ireland can be as free-flowing after a Brexit vote as it is today"
Theresa Villiers, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, 17 April 2016
"The fear in Dublin is that our border towns would become a backdoor into the UK. In that instance what sort of fortress would the Northern Ireland border have to become to close that backdoor?"
Phil Hogan, European Commissioner for Agriculture, 9 May 2016
We don't yet know what will happen to the border between the Republic of Ireland and the UK once the UK leaves the EU.
Reports suggested that the UK and EU were close to a deal in December 2017. However, the DUP said the proposal was "not going to be acceptable" as it would create a border between Northern Ireland and the rest of Great Britain, in order to keep the border open between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Nothing has yet been agreed. Claims that there will or won't be border controls on the island of Ireland are predictions, not facts, at this stage.
We can show why it's been raised as a real possibility, though.
Movement between Ireland and the UK now
Northern Ireland being part of the United Kingdom, there's a land border between the UK and another country, the Republic of Ireland.
In the past, the need for customs and security checks meant that the border was a physical as well as legal and political reality. Nowadays, it isn't a barrier in any practical sense.
People can also move freely around the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands within the Common Travel Area. That means there are no official passport checks for someone travelling from Dublin to Belfast to London.
The Common Travel Area, despite the capital letters, is a pretty informal arrangement that existed before the UK and Ireland joined the EU in 1973.
Why might the open border change when we leave the EU?
Ireland has no plans to leave the EU like the UK is in the process of doing. Brexit means that the UK's only land border will also be an external border from the EU's point of view.
That matters for two reasons. One is immigration and the other is trade in goods, neither of which have many controls on them within the EU.
We don't know yet what arrangements will be worked out on these issues, so whether border controls would have to be re-established is still a matter of speculation.
What's been happening in the latest negotiations?
In March 2018, the EU published a draft withdrawal agreement, effectively setting out its preferred deal, and highlighting text that it understands to already be agreed with the UK. The passages relating to the Irish border have not been agreed to by the UK.
The EU proposed a "common regulatory area" comprising the EU and Northern Ireland, and that the "territory of Northern Ireland" (excluding territorial waters) be considered to be inside the Customs Union. This would mean that Northern Ireland would still effectively be inside the customs union, even if the rest of the UK was out. This would mean there would be no need for checks at the Irish border, but there could be checks between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
In the same month, Theresa May said: "Just as it would be unacceptable to go back to a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland [after Brexit], it would also be unacceptable to break up the United Kingdom's own common market by creating a customs and regulatory border down the Irish Sea." She described this as her "personal commitment".
The Prime Minister also said that "The UK has been clear it is leaving the Customs Union" and "We are leaving the single market". These two arrangements underpin the free movement of goods across the Irish Border. The EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, said in February "a UK decision to leave the single market, and to leave the customs union, would make border checks unavoidable."
The government and the EU were apparently close to a deal on the issue in December 2017. We don't know exactly what the draft proposals were.
However, upon seeing a draft of the agreement, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), the largest party in Northern Ireland, said it felt that the agreement "was not going to be acceptable" for them as the terms were "making a red line down the Irish Sea".
This term refers to there being border controls between Northern Ireland and the rest of Great Britain. The DUP thinks such controls would occur because of the proposal's intention for Northern Ireland to have some "regulatory alignment" with the rest of Ireland in order to keep the border free of controls.
This would mean that there would be different conditions in Northern Ireland, closer to Irish (and therefore EU) standards, compared with the rest of the UK.
Others, including the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, have called for such regulatory alignment with the EU to apply to the UK as a whole.
Checks on immigration are possible but it's hard to forecast
World War II aside, there have never been controls on migration between the UK and Ireland.
The Common Travel Area means "minimal or non-existent border controls", in the words of an Irish parliamentary report.
In practice the land border is almost completely open, but airlines and ferry operators still require photo ID, which doesn't always have to be a passport. Passengers are always asked for passports at airports where immigration officers can't tell that they've come from within the Common Travel Area.
Nevertheless, people can use the open border to travel illegally from Ireland to Northern Ireland and on to the rest of the UK, and likewise in the other direction.
This is currently addressed by "Operation Gull", in which immigration officers check passengers on routes between Northern Ireland and the island of Great Britain. This is designed to compensate for the lack of checks on unauthorised travel across the north/south border.
It depends what restrictions the UK puts on EU immigration
Claiming this won't change after Brexit assumes that these measures will still be enough to police the open border. Leave campaigners pointed out during the referendum that the Common Travel Area was in place before the EU even existed, and this has since been echoed by the Brexit Secretary.
This is true, but there's never been a situation where Ireland accepted free movement of people and the UK didn't.
If the UK wants to put restrictions on EU immigration or short visits, that might generate more illegal cross-border movement. At the moment, Operation Gull only has to catch unauthorised migrants from non-EU countries.
It's at least possible that increased pressure on the border force will lead to a demand either for passport checks at the north/south border, or passport checks between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
Either would be politically difficult, but we really don't know at this stage whether it would be thought necessary.
To be clear, a beefed-up border to keep out people who aren't from the British Isles is different to there being restrictions on migration for British and Irish citizens. There's been no suggestion that Irish people might lose the right to live and work in the UK, or vice versa.
Checks on goods are a more likely outcome
The official government position has been that "outside the EU's Customs Union, it would be necessary to impose customs checks on the movement of goods across the border". This is echoed by researchers at Open Europe and FactCheckNI, while there have also been concerns raised in Ireland.
This is because if there is no EU-UK agreement on free trade in goods, there would be some British taxes on imports from Ireland, and vice versa.
If there is such a deal, it would be confined to goods originating in the UK or the EU. This is the pattern for the EU's free trade agreements with countries such as Norway and Canada.
Without these 'rules of origin', and a way of enforcing them, goods made in a country like China could be imported through Ireland, avoiding UK import taxes.
So with or without a trade deal, you would need some way of checking on the goods being taken across the border, either to work out the taxes due on them or to verify that they don't need to be paid.
Customs checks aren't a big problem on the Norway/Sweden border
These checks could be fairly light touch. Because Sweden is in the EU and Norway is not, there are customs checks between those two countries.
They are spot checks, though, and don't involve the checking of all vehicles.
Vans and lorries carrying imports could be told to attend a customs depot, which needn't be at the border, with spot checks of commercial vehicles near the border as a deterrent against evasion. It might also be possible to use technology to reduce or eliminate the burden of physical checks.
Update 28 July 2017
We've updated the references in this article following the referendum result.
Correction 12 April 2018
We previously said passports were needed when crossing the Irish Sea, but some operators don't require this specifically and accept other forms of ID.

The Problem
On a recent consulting engagement, I was tasked with helping a school eliminate a severe performance issue on its Moode site. I determined the primary solution was to add a PHP accelerator such as APC or OPCache.
Red Hat still supports RHEL 5 for security updates, but the default PHP installation is rapidly becoming unusable for current versions of Moodle. The server's administrators had manually upgraded from the PHP 5.1 version included by Red Hat to a third party PHP 5.3 build. While this allowed them to install a newer version of Moodle, it also ruined the sites performance. The third party build didn't include a PHP accelerator. Because the site was in active use there wasn't enough time to upgrade the entire operating system.
After discusion, with the client, we decided the best option forward was to upgrade to PHP 5.5 and use OPCache for PHP acceleration. This had the additional benefit of making the server ready for Moodle 2.7 and beyond. Here is how we did it.
The solutionWe determined we could get a high quality PHP 5.5 build from the Remi repository (http://rpms.famillecollet.com/) that would continue to receive security updates. OPCache is included with PHP 5.5 and beyond.
Setup Remi repository (from cli)
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm
See http://linuxdrops.com/how-to-add-epel-and-remi-repository-to-centos/
Remove old PHP (from cli)
yum remove php php-soap php-intl php-cli php-mbstring php-common php-pdo php-gd php-xml php-ldap php-mysql php-xmlrpc
Install new PHP (from cli)
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55 install php httpd php-soap php-intl php-cli php-mbstring php-common php-pdo php-gd php-xml php-ldap php-mysql php-xmlrpc php-opcache
See http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-apache-php-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/
OpCache Configuration
See the following Moodle docs page for Moodle specific OPCache settings http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/OPcache
Some risks to consider before upgrading
Upgrading PHP can break older PHP applications
Make sure that your version of Moodle will work with a new PHP including all third party plugins. Also be sure any other PHP web applications are your server support the new version.
The new install may fail
There is also a chance that if you do something wrong in the repository setup or have an unusual configuration that you won't be able to successfully install the new version after removing your old PHP, so plan accordingly!
Missing PHP libraries
Each PHP build is different, not every build includes files for every library. Make sure the library you need are in the new version.

To the tabloids, he was increasingly a villain. But he brushed aside all criticism with the rejoinder that the British press was the last institution that could criticise television - even for screening staged pratfalls and other disasters for his You've Been Framed (1990-97) programmes. To the accusation that he was a "fake", he replied that the newspaper industry was "full of lies, corruption, misrepresentation, bollocks and the most evil, nasty, small-minded people".
His background helped produce a brash, assertive personality, though with a large measure of benevolence. Beadle was born in Hackney, east London, the offspring of an extra-marital affair between his mother and a newspaper journalist father he never knew. He had Poland's syndrome at birth, which left him with a withered right hand, with the fingers joined to each other - and a future involving several operations.
His socialist mother worked long hours to keep him at Midfield Road junior school, St Paul's Cray, Kent, where he learned little except that he hated being told what to do. Authority was there to be confronted, with a brazen and sometimes disastrous daring. He challenged a fellow pupil to climb a tall tree, from where the boy fell to his death. Another pupil, with whom he was racing on improvised toboggans, was killed when he hit a tree. His escapades also included an appearance at Bromley juvenile court for stealing a £1 note from a teacher's handbag.
Having failed his 11-plus, Beadle went to Orpington secondary modern school, easing the boredom by joining CND marches, working for Oxfam and playing a pantomime dame for a youth club. In his report, a teacher declared that he had gifts, but not the self-discipline to use them. Eventually, he was expelled. He was then sacked from a series of menial jobs, including one as messenger for a magazine group wh ose leisure trips he boosted by once running into the sea with all his clothes on. Practical jokes on colleagues became a speciality, until workmates got their revenge by stealing his clothes and leaving him naked in front of 400 women arriving for their shift.
After pursuing a girlfiend to Germany, he got a job there as a lavatory cleaner, deliberately allowing the cubicles to run out of toilet paper and filling the urinals with tea to create the impression that they were overflowing. Faced with an unappreciative audience, he returned home to produce charity gigs in Orpington civic hall, then went to Brighton, where he set himself up as a street photographer before starting a listings magazine, What's on in Brighton, and writing its TV column. This led to him joining Time Out, and attempting unsuccessfully to set up a northern office.
But the move also produced an invitation in 1972 from the North West Arts Association to organise a rock festival at Bickershaw - and an ideal niche for Beadle's gift-of-the-gab and organisational skills. "I was dealing with bullshitters, conmen, hustlers, shady characters and drug addicts," he said in his 1998 autobiography, Watch Out! He worked on other festivals, while sending in ideas to various television stars, including Russell Harty and Kenny Everett. For the Daily Express, he wrote Jeremy Beadle's Today's the Day strip about souped-up anniversaries, thus hitting on what was to become his stock-in-trade, an exploitation of little-known facts.
He dredged up strange bits of information as European editor of Irving Wallace's books, including The Book of Lists and The Intimate Sex Lives of the Famous. He fed Bob Monkhouse material, boosting his income by driving mini-cabs until he settled into a slot called Beadle's Bookshelf, talking on Michael Aspel's Capital Radio show about the sort of books the critics scorned.
The BBC turned down a format called Gotcha! But its practical joking element survived a revamp to become Game for a Laugh (1981-85), the TV show that established Beadle, one of the four original presenters, as an uncrowned king of practical jokers. A typical prank involved secretly training a man to fly, before taking his unaware wife to an airfield where, almost in hysterics, she would watch him get into a plane and take off.
The show ran for five years and was followed by Watch Out Beadle's About!, in which the hidden cameras rolled for 11 series which sold worldwide. He also hosted Beadle's Box of Tricks, People Do The Funniest Things and Win Beadle's Money, augmenting his fame with appearences in pantomime.
To his credit, Beadle never forgot his early difficulties, and put some of the memories to good use. He became a patron of Reach, the charity for children with missing fingers, hands and arms. He would tell sufferers that it was not the size of their hands that mattered "but the size of your heart" .
He was a supporter of the Foundation for Children with Leukaemia, part of the reason he was awarded an MBE in 2001. To the end, he refused to see himself as a servant of the lowest common denominator, protesting that his appeal was based on pushing the boundaries - "I love the maverick, I love the outlaw and the outsider". He is survived by his wife Sue, his daughters Cassie and Bonnie, and stepchildren Leo and Claire.
· Jeremy Beadle, television presenter, writer and practical joker, born April 12 1948; died January 30 2008
· This article was amended on Friday February 1 2008. The Bickershaw rock festival, which Jeremy Beadle was asked to organise, was held in 1972, not 1974 as we said. This has been corrected.

Liam Snootle – 'On the Riot Trail' and 'Weapons of Maths Distraction'
Liam Snootle is a self-taught visual artist from Melbourne with a background in Mathematics and graffiti. Predominantly working with painting and urban installation pieces, Snootle's work can be categorised as a visual response to sound or in contrast an attempt at creating an aural experience via visual stimulus. Influenced heavily by East Coast American alternative music of the 80's and 90's, Snootle is interested in the combination of colour and shape and how these are able to trigger an emotional response in the viewer. Often painting representations of his interpretation of punk songs. Using a language of shapes as his alphabet he encourages the viewer to allow the work to recall a memory, a sound, an idea or a thought previously experienced and provide time to contemplate and celebrate that moment.
This week, Snootle has not one but two shows opening in Victoria, Australia. He took a few minutes out of his hectic schedule to chat with Damo from what he affectionally refers to as his Snoodio.
Damo: Who is Liam Snootle?
LS: He's an artist, he likes to paint shapes and listen to very loud music. He's like a much cooler version of myself. He only comes out at night because during the day he moonlights as a maths teacher.
photo: p1xels
Damo: What's your background?
LS: I've always been a creator, I'm a musician, I played rock music back in the day, didn't everyone? The painting was always something I wanted to do, but I guess it was the revelation that my visual thinking approach to my life could translate as art that allowed me to emerge as a visual artist. I pinch myself everyday when I think that people dig my art and the fact that my art has been shown around the world and that people actually put them in their houses blows my mind.
Damo: Can you talk a little about your work and your practice as an artist?
LS: I paint geometric abstract art, sometimes for galleries, sometimes on walls, occasionally they get on the telly. I usually try to paint a response to an emotion, usually one that is associated with music. I really enjoy what I do and I'm constantly trying to push myself in new directions.
Damo: You have two shows opening on 9 September. Can you tell us a little about each show, what can we expect to see? Why do you think people should come along to one of your shows?
LS: The shows are opportunities to show two very distinct bodies of work. At Off the Kerb Gallery, in Collingwood, I'm showing a series of shaped canvases that are an extension of the pieces I put on the streets. I've really enjoyed making them and the fact that gravity determines their position has been really exciting. I'd like to think that I've always been in control of my paintings as far as their orientation and direction but with these paintings, control is in the hands of the art, there is nothing I can do.
For Boom Gallery in Geelong, I've made a show of my interpretation of Daydream Nation, the 1988 Sonic Youth album. I've created a painting for each song. When the album came out, I was in High school and remember it being such a revelation, it was a mix of punk and optimism, and almost a call to arms for my generation, a rallying cry that the nineties were going to be alright. Given the Trump debacle, I reckon the album has a much relevance today as it did then. The painting are fun, and many of them are a real tangent to my usual art.
photo: p1xels
Damo: What art do you most identify with? Whats your favourite artwork and why?
LS: Oh God, there's a lot, too many to mention here. I guess it's one of those things that depends on the day. If I had to narrow it down to my top ten artists in no particular order then it'd currently look something like this; Anthony Lister, SheOne, Jerry Inscoe, Remi/Rough, O-Two, St Monci, Paul Kremer, Jim Houser, Michael Bennett, Carl Cashman and Graphic Surgery, is that ten?
Damo: Whats the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
LS: 'Just keep making!', I can't remember who said it to me, but it stuck and now I'm pleased that it did.
photo: p1xels
Damo: Professionally, whats your goal?
LS: Not saying I don't have great days in the classroom, but recently I'm noticing that the generation gap between myself and my students is increasing, and I guess my teaching is suffering. The idea that going full time with art is the dream. I spoke with sculptor, Dion Horstmans who said that to be an artist, it has to be a full time thing, I haven't forgotten that, but I do have a mortgage!
Damo: It's a tough day in the studio. What do you do to get through the day and/or any creative blocks you may have?
LS: Most of my paintings are a response to the music I'm listening to, so I tend to have a large collection of CD's playing in the studio, anything american from 1985 through to 1998 seems to provide enough inspiration for me.
Damo: What's something about you that google doesn't know?
LS: My age!
Damo: What's your most embarrassing moment?
LS: I lost $249,000 on Millionaire Hotseat a few years back, which my students' never seem to get tired of reminding me about. Eddie was nice though.
Damo: If you could choose, what superpower would you have and why?
LS: Apparently my Midichlorian count is pretty low, but I think I'd do good things if I could use the Force.

'On the Riot Trail' opens this Thursday 8 September at Geelong's Boom Gallery.
'Weapons of Maths Distraction' opens at Collingwood's 'Off the Kerb' on Friday 9 September.

Charles Shere: Ces désirs du quatuor
any four melody instruments
back to list of works
score: acrylic on canvas; individual parts available by request
back to homepage
My first attempt at an indeterminate score turned out to be one of the most successful. Ces Désirs was composed at the request of the composer Robert Hughes, who was giving didactic concerts to young audiences, and wanted a piece to demonstrate whatever musical form I preferred.
"No form at all," I said, and made this quartet by stretching a rather large canvas, priming it white, painting musical staffs on it both vertically and horizontally in black acrylic, and then painting on notes and in some cases text, using either India ink or colored inks.
The piece is influenced by Eric Satie's Musique d'ameublement (one reason it is titled in French): I like to think of it as a kind of aural screen through which other things may be heard.
The musical material is partly original, partly quoted, for by that time I had studied both Roman Haubenstock-Ramati's Credentials and, more closely, Douglas Leedy's Octet: Quaderno Rossiniano. Quoted material included the opening measure of the Tristan prelude and a song by Hugo Wolf (as I recall).
In performance the painting is laid flat on a table, and the four musicians sit around it, each playing only music on staves horizontal to his point of view. The music may be played either left to right or right to left, and in any clef or transposition. Occasional noteheads in color are meant to be given an unusual tone-quality. Musicians go from one staff to another, leaving silences between at their discretion, and ending only at a double-bar -- of which four are thoughtfully provided.
I prefer the score to be played by dissimilar instruments of varied ranges, or by a pair of dissimilar duets. The premiere was in November 1965, with Robert Hughes, bassoon; Nelson Green, Wagner tuba; Stuart Dempster, alto trombone; and someone whom I forget playing trumpet. There have been many subsequent performances, all running to about eight minutes long, most seeming to be in d minor.
A sound recording is available at Vibedeck.
Ces désirs was soon promoted to be a part of other scores, first in from Calls and Singing, where it functions as a sort of prelude; later in the opera The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even. Small-format copies of the score have been made to facilitate such performances: e-mail for information.
The original painting of Ces désirs is owned by my friends Claire and Kendall Allphin, and had to be repainted a few years ago as the original colored inks had badly faded.

It is a new day in the city of Taiz, Central Yemen. This is a city that has been living under siege for more than four months, a siege imposed jointly by the Houthi and Saleh forces. A city where death has become a daily routine, with no hospitals or schools operating.
But this city carries the tales of a revolution.
Mohammed, gripping the hand of his 10-year-old niece, was walking towards to the middle of the city to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Yemeni revolution. He was telling her what had happened in this square.
It was in Taiz where the whole story started, five years ago. On that Friday, Mohammed - then still a university student - joined a group of young protesters and started to chant the revolution's famous catchphrase: "The people want the downfall of the regime."
"I didn't have any political activism before that," Mohammed said. "But it doesn't require a senior politician to realise that the regime was corrupt and it was time for change."
Mohammed and his fellow revolutionaries marched in the city of Taiz, chanting all night, and finally he returned home to have some rest - but, as he slept, the country was anything but quiet.
Taiz quickly grabbed the attention of the whole country, and the chants of protesters echoed across Yemen. Then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh, and his party, the GPC, were still having talks with the political opposition, known as the JMP. Saleh managed to drag the opposition into his game of politics, promising a lot - but not giving much - negotiating without compromising. Soon, that game was to end.
|The youths' persistence became the political opposition's strongest card
The opposition realised that people like Mohammed were far more determined than they had realised, and were not willing to engage in any form of negotiations. The demand was clear: Saleh and his family must leave.
The youths' persistence became the political opposition's strongest card, and gave it the upper hand for the first time in their dealings with Saleh. The spontaneous enthusiasm of the young people helped the revolution flourish, but was also their weakness.
The youth didn't engage in any talks, and the result of months of protests was given to an opposition who had failed in the past to make a single gain against Saleh.
The opposition signed an agreement proposed by the Gulf Cooperation Council by the end of 2011. The agreement gave Saleh immunity in exchange for him stepping down from power. Saleh was not prevented from remaining in the country or having a political role, which meant that the opposition would have to trust Saleh's not to spoil the transition.
Mohammed, like many other revolutionaries, didn't celebrate the signing of the agreement, and could see that Saleh was again playing the opposition. He went back to his university, more aware of the political developments around him.
Yemen managed to go through a National Dialogue process and drafted a new constitution - but Saleh and his family were still in the country. In 2014, Saleh managed to finalise an alliance with the Houthis, who fought with the Yemeni military no fewer than six times between 2004 and 2009.
When the Houthis were approaching Sanaa, Mohammed said that he realised a counter-revolution had been set in place.
"The political parties failed again," he said. "They failed to realise that Saleh would come back, they failed to prevent the state from falling, and they failed in running the transition."
|By March 2015, the war was knocking on the doors of Taiz
Mohammed added: "This is the result of having half a revolution - the war that we thought we prevented from happening in 2011 happened anyway in the end, and Saleh is taking revenge against all those who participated in his fall."
The revolution underestimated what a counter-revolution meant. Saleh was willing to push the country over the edge to come back to power. Finally, Saleh took the fight to Taiz, the city that had, that one day, first called for the downfall of his regime.
By March 2015, the war was knocking on the doors of Taiz. The city that praised itself for so long for being the most educated and the central hub for intellectuals across Yemen had to pick up arms and defend itself.
The people of Taiz got engaged in heavy fighting with the Houthi and Saleh forces, and when they managed to push them out of the city in August last year, Houthi and Saleh forces imposed a complete siege on Taiz, preventing aid, medicine and even water from entering.
The result is the worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
Hospitals were forced to close down due to the lack of medicine and oxygen canisters. Infant mortality rate increased dramatically, as the remaining few hospitals didn't have incubators for newly born babies.
In November 2015, UN relief chief Stephen O'Brien stated that Houthis had blocked supply routes and continued to obstruct the delivery of humanitarian aid. MSF has also announced that it failed in attempts to bring in medicine into Taiz.
The people there rely on smuggled items to cover their basic necessities - and the prices have tripled.
The city is still living under heavy shelling by the Houthi and Saleh forces, but despite the ongoing threat, people like Mohammed believe that the fight had to happen, and if the clock were turned back, he would have participated in the revolution again and again.
Mohammed says that the fight between Saleh and Taiz was inevitable, and it was Taiz that didn't finish its job in 2011, but will complete the task in 2016. "Saleh will leave and Taiz will remain," he adds.
As he walks down the streets of Taiz to join his fellow revolutionaries, he teaches his niece the chants of the revolution. He asks her to teach them to the coming generations. This is a revolution - a story that once begun, can never end.

This is probably time for a lesson in creative truth-telling. Since veriception is a primary sense, as intense as sight or scent, we do not lie to each other very much. Oh, we all wear veriception-blocking spells, so we could in principle lie to each other all we like, especially the little convenient social lies like I'm so very sorry that your child didn't survive when what is actually meant is I wish to console you for the death of your child, though, as most children die during that procedure and he wasn't my child, I didn't actually meet him and, being a less than wholly empathic monster, I don't care about him as an individual. I do however care about you, and you have my sympathy. One does not want to forever be trying to negotiate such truths, especially when one's friends have just lost a child.
But the ordinary veriception blocks do not cut off the sensation of one's own lies. That convenient social lie is the vericeptive equivalent of belching after a meal of fermented sausages: however delicious they were the first time, they are a bit noxious the second. Bigger and wickeder lies are correspondingly nastier to perceive. One rarely sniffs one's feces closely, not because there is a moral or honorable issue with doing so, but because it is unpleasant. One rarely tells a lie, not because there is a moral or honorable issue with doing so, but because it is unpleasant.
So one gets creative with the truth. I said "I was furious with you for a few weeks, but that was years ago." Every bit of that was true. The implication is that I am not furious with her now. And that implication is largely true too: often two or three years will go by before I remember her betrayal, and even then I will snarl once or twice and go on enduring and/or enjoying the aftermath of the betrayal, rather than raging. But I could just as easily have just as truthfully and non-disgustingly meant that I was still just as angry with her now, but with occasional breaks in the rage.
Remember that if you're ever having an intimate personal conversation with an astral dragon, and you're not one.
Roroku took my words at face value. Maybe not all of them, but certainly the ones that said that she was forgiven if she didn't do it again. "Oh, I'm glad to hear that, Jyothky. It was very ill-done of me. I've regretted it a grand of times since then."
"And not you alone," said Gyovanth.
"Ah, Gyovanth of Chiriact — Duke-spawn Gyovanth, am I correct on your title?" Of course I was correct on his title; I had looked it up and confirmed it. I was being just as insulting as he was. In ordinary casual speech, one freely bestows the high title of "prince" on everyone closely related to the king, and nobody would have bitten anybody if I had called Gyovanth "prince". If one were being precise, which nearly never happens, Gyovanth's parents would be duchess and duke. (Grand Draconic doesn't even have the word "duke"; we stole it from some small people.) Nobody would bite anybody if Gyovanth were called a duke either. But I gave him his proper and technically correct title, rather than either of the higher ones he usually uses.
I grinned Roroku too."And Duchess-spawn Roroku, on both sides! Does that make you a whole duchess? I think it might!" Titles are fairly cheap, for dragons. Every married couple rules at least a province and could reasonably be called countess and count, or whatever your system of titles puts one rank below duchess and duke. Roroku's parents, like Ythac's, were reasonably important.
(But the real point was to jab an etiquettical claw into Gyovanth's eye. I didn't much like him. And giving the wife he obviously despised a higher title than him, even in jest, was an insult of sorts, though one that he could not actually take offense at without looking ridiculous. )
(This is the sort of combat I've been learning lately, rather than anything worthwhile. I couldn't attach myself to the exploring company — which, in retrospect, was probably fortunate for me — but I ought to do something that's not at court at some point.)
"Queen Jyothky! My wife speaks intensely of you from time to time!" he said. (I would translate that into clear speech, but I do not actually know what, if anything, he meant by it. I presume he was insulting me back just as obliquely.)
(Now you know how to understand court messages — as well as I do, anyhow — so there's no point in translating them further, unless it's fun.)
Roroku leaned over and bunted her head against mine, as if to say that her intense speech was not to be thought of as offensive. A friendly gesture, perhaps a bit childish and informal for the circumstances. But she cast a chat-secretly spell when she touched me. «I'm so sorry to talk this way, Jyothky, but I need to say a few things without Gyovanth hearing, and I don't know how to pry him off my tail.» When one is the subject of that spell, one sees one's correspondant's letters in one's mind, written however one thinks of the person. I seem to think of Roroku as a child, claw-scratching her words in big shaky letter in a wax tablet.
This made for two conversations at once, which is always challenging. One was a spoken, three-way conversation with courtly multiple meanings, and the other a quiet intimate one. This sort of situation would be much easier if I had multiple heads, but, unfortunately, that's not easy to endure for any great length of time.

Everyone can go home, Brazil is going to win this year's World Cup
No (soccer) balls have been kicked yet in the upcoming World Cup but it seems that Brazil are already confirmed to be taking home the golden trophy.
You may think that picking five-time winners Brazil to win in a football tournament, held on their home ground, is a bit of a no-brainer, but we're just quoting people who are supposed be brainy!
Their impending win has all been predicted by none other than investment bank Goldman Sachs and Stephen Hawking.
Last week, Goldman Sachs stuck out their neck and predicted that the Brazilians will - apologies for the football cliche coming up - samba their way to be the trophy.
The Goldman Sachs report, into its fifth edition in this year's World Cup, comprehensively details out how exactly they were able to predict that Brazil is going to win the World Cup:
The predictions for each match are based on a regression analysis that uses the entire history of mandatory international football matches—i.e., no friendlies—since 1960. This gives us about 14,000 observations to estimate the coefficients of our model. The dependent variable in the regression analysis is the number of goals scored by each side in each match. Following the literature on modelling football matches, we assume that the number of goals scored by a particular side in a particular match follows a Poisson distribution
There were so confident of their methodology that they applied their model on the 2010 World Cup and the were able to correctly predict 13 of the 16 teams that advanced to the knockout stages.
Echoing Goldman Sachs was Hawking, the theoretical physicist who also does the occasional cameo on The Simpsons, who also predicted that Brazil is going to win because "hosts have won over 30% of the World Cup".
So if you want to bet on the winner, two big names have come out to say that Brazil are going to win it.
In all probability, this will happen this year.

Happy Holidays, everyone! We celebrate Christmas, so also Merry Christmas.
I've always been fond of snowmen. I think everyone's got a thing from this time of year that they particularly like. Maybe you like that cozy dimness of an overcast sky, nature's soft lighting. Maybe you like candy cane striping. Maybe you live in Australia and enjoy barbecue season. Mona loves the cold. I think her soul is still in Vermont, where she went to art school at the Center for Cartoon Studies.
But, me? I like snowmen.
Dan's creation was not actually an extension of that, though. Really, Dan's creation was barely by me at all. I think I was the first to say "snowman," but otherwise it was a collaborative effort. Inspiration yelled "snowman!" and it worked so perfectly that we both ran with it.
Still, if a person says they like snowmen, then tells you the snowman comic they write doesn't have anything to do with that… do you really believe them?

The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race
Here's a link to an article that I ran across a few months ago while working as a substitute teacher in a high school AP Environmental Science class. It was originally published in Discover Magazine in May 1987, but it is still relevant in 2013 - maybe even more so.
Our hunter-gatherer ancestors had a more diverse and healthier diet, longer life spans, more equal division of labour between the sexes, and had much more leisure time at their disposal than their early agriculturalist counterparts. Our species lived the first 90 percent of its lifetime living under this model...how did it all change? Perhaps Darwin has much to say about this question - early farmers needed more offspring in order to work the fields. The progeny of farmers tend to be farmers themselves. More farmers require more land and more wood. Very quickly the hunter-gatherers of the world are either starved or crowded out. Fast forward 10,000 years and the agriculturalists' descendants are plagued with health problems linked almost exclusively to their diet, a culture of rape and misogyny, and vast economic inequality leading to an ever shrinking length of the day devoted to leisure/arts.
It is almost certainly far too late for us to return to the woods...we've cut down most of the trees and polluted our water supply enough to render most of the berries inedible. But, we can still learn how to frame our modern problems within the naturalist mind set. If we can't spurn agriculture after all these centuries, then perhaps we can actually put some of its advancements to work in an effort to realize a harmony that our species shared with this planet for most of our relationship with it.

Great post. Just because I am a guy I do have feelings too. Great post.
Well said!
Just wish to say your article is as astounding. The clarity in your post is just spectacular and i can assume you are an expert on this subject.
Fine with your permission allow me to grab your RSS feed to keep updated with
forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please carry on the gratifying work.
Hi there friends, its impressive paragraph concerning teachingand fully explained, keep it up all the time.
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and
wished to say that I've truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
After all I'll be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again soon!
Everyone loves what you guys are up too. Such clever work and reporting!
Keep up the wonderful works guys I've included you guys to my personal blogroll.
It's nice to be understood. I am a sensitive & emotional person and I have been criticized for it growing up. I was never allowed to express myself and be who I am. We live in a society where people think in order to survive & thrive, we should be aggressive, overly assertive, outspoken, etc. Leaving no room for the quiet & gentle souls. I know now that this isn't true. It is the sensitive & emotional people who are more connected to their heart & soul. In a world that needs more healing, forgiveness & compassion, we need people connected to their heart & soul.
Great post..most of the time Im hiding this feelings…
I have another prayer that goes like this:
God, please take care of me today.
From my 'friends' protect me, because
my enemies I know them well and,
shall take care of them accordingly.

Tym Records 049 Zeahorse - Torana Dreamin 12 inch
Tym records is proud to announce the release of the second Zeahorse LP, Torana Dreamin'
10 songs that could only come from Australia about blokes, chocky milks, BBQ chickens and of course, Toranas.
Kicking off with a metallic thumping riff that's reminiscent of the original Mad Max out on the open road, it then weaves it's way through big noisy riffs and catchy choruses.
There's pub rock here but it's much more sophisticated than the standard fare, mixed with punk rock with the accents and slang constantly dragging it back to be quintessentially Australian.
Among the huge riffs and distorted bass there are moments of pop. Catchy guitar lines and choruses abound, but it always somehow gets back to that big, fat, riff.

While Apple fans and business geeks rushed to see the new 'Jobs' movie in the US on 16 August, and then download it from iTunes in the US in November, but over on this side of the Atlantic we're still waiting to learn the UK release date of the Steve Jobs biopic.
Jobs movie reviews: Critics have their say about Steve Jobs film starring Ashton Kutcher
The Jobs movie, directed by Joshua Michael Stern, looks at the period of Apple history prior to the company's dramatic return to success. It starts with Steve Jobs dropping out of college and going on to found Apple Computer with super-geek Steve Wozniak, played by Josh Gad.
Read our 90 Movies About Apple That MUST Be Made.
It also includes scenes from Jobs' hippy travels in India, and trawls through the exciting history of Apple Computer at the beginning of the personal computer era.
We assumed that the UK release date would be announced soon after the US cinema release, but we're still waiting for the Jobs movie to arrive on our screens. We'll update you as soon as we hear word on the cinema release date, if there is one, and also as soon as we know when the movie is available on DVD.
In the US, the Jobs movie is now available to buy on iTunes, and also on Amazon. Here in the UK, however, there's no sign of the film in iTunes and only a US Blu-ray import available on Amazon.
As all Apple buffs know Jobs was forced out of the company he founded by John Sculley, the man he brought over to Apple from Pepsi to beef up Apple's marketing. Steve was not happy about this! See also: Apple A-Z: everything you need to know about Apple.
Aged just 30 the super charismatic Jobs quickly founded NeXT to sell workstation computers into the higher education market. NeXT didn't fare well but its NeXTStep operating system was eventually bought by Apple for more than $400m as the basis of what would become Mac OS X.
Also while he was away from Apple Jobs acquired animation software company Pixar, which he went on to turn into such a movie success that it was bought by Disney, making Jobs himself Disney's biggest shareholder.
But the greatest success Steve Jobs made after being fired from Apple was returning to the company he founded and spectacularly turning around its fortunes and creating the most valuable company in the US through cool advertising and killer products such as the iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad.
The Jobs movie doesn't go further than the edge of that success, so focuses on the Apple story before most of the world got to know about the company.
34-year-old Kutcher is ready for criticism for the army of Apple fanboys.
"It's really scary when everyone has a right to be like a legitimate critic. Because he was very public. There are people here who probably know him way better than I do, who shook his hand, knew him, hung out with him. So that's terrifying. Especially when you're playing somebody that people really admired," he said at the closing film of the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
The actor says he watched "hundreds of hours of footage," listened to Jobs' past speeches and interviewed his friends to prepare for the role.
Rolling Stone wrote that "Kutcher nails the genius and narcissism. It's a quietly dazzling performance".
A second Jobs movie written by West Wing and Social Network writer Aaron Sorkin is based on the authorized Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. Sorkin has said that it will be made up of just three scenes before major Apple product launches: the Mac in 1984, NeXT in 1985 and the iPod in 2001.
An earlier biopic movie 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' (1999) looked at the rivalry between Steve Jobs and Microsoft's Bill Gates, and starred Noah Wyle of ER fame.

Hi all,
Just been getting back into listening to d&b recently and naturally gravitated towards this place.
I recently discovered a few info sheets included with some 12" promos I have. They include a brief description/blurb about the tracks and are generally used by media outlets to help promote the release.
Then, I saw this interview with Jim of Source Direct where he describes in detail some of his favorite tracks and I thought it was valuable information/insight for the real nerds like me who want the whole back-story etc while discovering new music.
On Discogs, there's a comment section where you can learn quite a bit from people who help paint a picture of the context surrounding particular releases and I think some kind of database of track descriptions, reviews, anecdotes, etc could be an interesting addition to rolldabeats.

I've got quite a few promo information sheets for Drum & Bass (mainly late 90's to mid 00's). I scanned them all in a few years back with no real plan of what to do with the files. Some of them do make interesting reading so I agree that it would be nice to have an outlet to share the info.
If anyone comes up with a plan then I'm in.
