Following a string of incidents involving sleeping air-traffic controllers, the FAA has ordered an additional controller to be added to the overnight shifts at 27 airports. On Thursday an FAA executive resigned amid the growing outcry over the incidents, which have energized longstanding concerns over fatigue among transportation personnel.
The latest such incident occurred at 2 a.m. Wednesday, when the pilot of a medical plane was unable to reach the controller on duty at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Nevada. The pilot decided to land after 16 minutes, citing concern over the health of a patient he was transporting. According to the FAA, it was the sixth case of an unresponsive controller this year. All the controllers involved in the incidents have been suspended, the FAA said.
"Air traffic controllers are responsible for making sure aircraft safely reach their destinations," said Federal Aviation Administrator Randy Babbit in a statement Wednesday. "We absolutely cannot and will not tolerate sleeping on the job."
Hank Krakowski, head of the FAA's Air Traffic Organization, which employs the nation's air-traffic controllers, resigned Thursday. In a statement announcing Mr. Krakowski's departure, Mr. Babbit noted that public confidence "begins with strong leadership."
The decision to add an additional controller to 27 airports that currently have just one controller on the overnight shift was praised by the Business Travel Coalition, a passenger rights group.
"There should always be two controllers on duty at any given time," Kevin Mitchel, chairman of the Business Travel Coalition, writes in an email. "It is a stressful job and like pilots, fatigue causes them to fall asleep as well."
In fact, the issue of fatigue has been a safety concern for air travel and other forms of transportation for decades.
"The NTSB has a most-wanted list of safety improvements," says Mark Rosekind, a Member of the National Transportation Safety Board. "Fatigue has been one of the items on that list since it was first created in 1990. It's been in our focus for over 20 years."
Dr. Rosekind, a clinical psychologist who has studied sleep for NASA, says worker performance drops 30 percent at night.
"The myth is that the more nights you work, the more your body adjusts to the night work," Rosekind says. "Physiologically, your internal clock does not adjust."
Even as transportation officials grapple with how to handle controller fatigue, a NASA program, The Aviation Reporting Data Base, allows aviation workers to have their say. The program invites controllers, pilots, and others to anonymously report irregularities and make suggestions for how they could have been avoided.
Controllers whose reports appear in the database describe juggling multiple planes on runways that are sometimes hard to identify. For example, a controller at Hobby Airport in Houston said that a plane was instructed to taxi across a runway where another plane was about to land last July. The mistake was noticed in time.
"With all of the closed runways and taxiways, and the bad weather and new taxi rules, I was feeling a little fatigued," said the controller.
A controller at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie, Minn. described a plane landing on the wrong runway one night last August. The controller said the problem could not be identified until after the plane touched down, because of the angle of the control tower to the runway.
"The number of aircraft landing on the wrong runway at this airport is out of control," said the controller. "It was not an issue tonight, but someday it will be, and that thought is scary."
It's unclear whether the controllers added to overnight shifts will be new hires or come from a reshuffling of staff. As troublesome as the fatigue problem may be, some officials are wary of devoting added resources to low-traffic times of the day.
"This increase in staffing, when there is little to no traffic, also misdirects our resources and focus away from congested air traffic control facilities," Rep. John Mica (R) of Florida said in a statement.
Air traffic controllers made about $107,000 a year in 2009, according to the most recent data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Last month, an air-traffic controller at Washington's Reagan National Airport was suspended for sleeping on the job. Though no one was injured, two planes were forced to land without clearance after being unable to rouse the controller.
Other incidents of unresponsive controllers occurred at a Preston Smith International Airport in Lubbock, Texas, on March 29, and at King County International Airport/Boeing Field in Seattle, where a controller had fallen asleep once during a shift on April 11, and twice during a Jan. 6 shift.

Every now and then my husband will say, "That smell reminds me of Grandma's house up in the country." It's amazing that sometimes even mothballs elicit a nostalgia. But studies show that smell is strongly linked to memory, and thus to our emotional responses to life experiences.

Avocados: The Forgotten Fruit
Looking for something different to feed your growing baby or picky toddler? Try avocados, the forgotten fruit (at least by Gerber). Here's what's great about avocados: They are loaded with unsaturated good fats, vitamins, and minerals for growing bodies and strong bones. Here are a few ways I've incorporated them into my daughter's diet:
- Create an avocado and pear puree (to add a little sweetness)
- Blend avocado and plain whole milk yogurt
- Mash avocado with chicken (creamy consistency helps the chicken go down easily)
- Spread homemade guacamole (made from avocados) on your child's favorite cracker for a nutritious on-the-go snack.

Enter Sandman
Here is how it all started- the story behind "turnitupmom."
While I'm not a voracious reader of parenting manuals and how-to guides (Let's face it, there is no manual.), I did expect that my daughter would respond well to the recipe for a happy baby: swaddle, sway, and shush. I envisioned her nestling into the crook of my arm and drifting off to sleep, lulled by classical melodies. Quite to the contrary, she squirmed free of my futile attempts to cuddle close with a warm, cozy blanket. I spent days grasping for straws until I realized that she required something a bit more edgy than "The Muffin Man." That's when I turned to my husband's eclectic music collection.
That afternoon, we ripped up the dance floor (Okay, the linoleum kitchen tiles.), bouncing and grooving to the music. And the louder, the better. Liza closed her tiny fingers around my shirtsleeve, and we clung to each other. We whirled past kitchen counters strewn with bottles and dirty dishes, and we twirled in circles, dizzying ourselves. We weren't waltzing to a Brahms lullaby, and yet I felt a deep sense of comfort separate from the rest of the world. It was an unmistakable bond with my daughter, as I gave myself permission to dance with a childlike abandon and wonder.
Did she fall asleep? Of course she did. After a few minutes, Liza nestled her head into the space under my chin and tucked her knees up into my chest. Her eyelids grew heavy and her body, limp. Although the couch was enticing, my heart told me to savor this moment. I pressed my lips against her forehead and continued to rock. Here I was, mommy-gone-mad, with a sense of calm falling around me. I, too, closed my eyes and let go, knowing that in a matter of months, her little tushy wouldn't fit in the palm of my hand. My nap could wait. I didn't ever want to wish that we had danced more.
I often ask myself, why does my daughter love to dance? Maybe it's the rocking motion that simulates the womb or the liveliness of the music, but I have to believe that it's more than that. Perhaps Liza is giving me exactly what I need- the chance to stop, to breathe, and to be fully present. Somewhere along the line, between juggling work and the inability to say "no," I had suppressed my most basic need to be and to honor all that I am.

Less Is More
There is something cathartic about getting rid of stuff. It's freeing. In fact, I actually get a bit jealous when I drive past a heap of trash piled at the end of someone's driveway, because potentially, that someone's basement or bedroom is less cluttered. And if she's like me (let's be honest, he doesn't care), so is her mind.

Piano lessons for Kids
Two years ago, my wife and I started our oldest daughter, then six years old, in piano lessons. Both of us being musically oriented, we feel that music instruction is just as important as enrolling her in soccer, gymnastics or ballet.
But, when practice begins and the sound of scales badly played reverberates through the house, I began to wonder what was I thinking? Beyond the general discomfort of the first couple of years what are the benefits children receive from piano lessons?
Actually, there are many beneficial attributes children acquire from learning to tickle the ivory; the following are five of the most prevalent:
The most talked about benefit children receive from piano lessons is that it also helps with their school lessons. Numerous studies available show children who play an instrument, score higher on both standard and spatial cognitive development tests alike. There are also findings that show kids who play piano, in particular, scored higher in math, especially on problems dealing with ratios and fractions.
In one particular study conducted by Dr. Frances Rauscher (a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh) and Gordon Shaw (a physicist at of the University of California at Irvine) tested preschoolers who received piano instruction. They found that preschoolers who received piano lessons scored 34% higher than their nonmusical counterparts in tests measuring spatial-temporal reasoning, which is the brain function used to understand math, science and engineering.
Learning to play the piano is hard work and takes dedication. Not only does each song mastered increase a child's self-esteem, but showcasing their newly learned talents at piano recitals can boost their self esteem as much as winning a game in a sports competition.
Lessons also help kids to learn how to keep a positive outlook when facing difficult tasks. The understanding that mastering a new skill is a process that requires patience helps children to approach tasks with confidence, and not become discouraged or frustrated.
Increased eye-hand coordination is almost a given for children that learn to play the piano, but there is more than that. Kids who play the piano have improved fine motor skills and, unlike other instruments, the piano requires both hands to work independently of each other, one moving fast while the other may be moving at a slower rate. All of these things help to increase a child's overall dexterity and complex thought processes.
Reading a piece of music takes a great deal of focus, causing a child to interpret a note and a rhythm, translate it into hand movements on the keyboard and then immediately go on to the next one. Reading and playing music allows them to think both critically and creatively, which is a skill that will assist them in anything they choose to undertake in the future.
Regardless of whether a child plays the piano for a short time or for a lifetime, the long-term effects of their piano pursuance are many. Through playing the piano, children are exposed to classical music that they may otherwise have never heard. Kids may develop an appreciation for composers like Bach or Mozart that stay with them for life. In addition, the skills and knowledge they learn in piano may help them easily pick up another musical instrument later.
So, as I sit and listen to my little one, pounding painfully away on the black and whites, all I have to do is remember that as she continues to practice, she'll be creating a great deal more than a few simple melodies, which is truly music to my ears.

In Persia, language has a powerful symbolic narrative function, that not only explains the power of charm, but also the typical, the recurrence of certain symbols which are dotted legend, poetry, textiles, the thumbnails until you arrive to architecture. Symbolism in Persian, with its repertoire of typical and recurring images, the flight between analog and fantastic image and meaning, seems to almost always be the work not of an individual but of an entire group, in a symbol that expresses their cultural identity, a collective religious sensitivity, under the penalty of continued foreign domination. Dance illuminated daily narrated thousand stories and the understanding of symbolic language is collective, popular.

text: Hi there I'm currently highly investigating to get my Nginx reverse proxy plugin to work with 22.214.171.124 - but I'm just not able to get it to. I've tried as much as possible, but newest error is: Code: PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type app as array in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/nginx_reverse_proxy_plugin.inc.php on line 92 which is here: https://github.com/Rackster/ispconf...ilable/nginx_reverse_proxy_plugin.inc.php#L92 therefor, the $data variable isn't an array but of type app object (holding the whole config etc.) Is this a bug, new behavior or my fault? Thanks!

I'm a little confused right now. So far I thought that percentage based bonusses to damage are calculated multiplicative, i.e.: A beast below 50% HP (+25% dmg) using a beast ability vs. a critter (+50% dmg) with a base damage of 100 would deal 100*1,25*1,5 = 187,5 dmg. Everything I saw so far seemed to indicate to this working this way.
Now I wanted to get a single hit as high as possible - mostly just for fun and to see what is possible. Also if they are adding very strong boss pets this might actually be helpful. Anyways, what I came up so far was this:
Prepare the Fluxfire Feline by using Supercharge (+150% dmg) and Wind Up (+10% dmg). Use Call Lightning to increase mechanical dmg bei 25%. Debuff a beast (+50% dmg) enemy with Howl for +100% dmg taken. Overall this should be a 250%*110%*125%*150%*200% = 1031,25% increase in damage. The base damage of Wind up is ~700, so the resulting hit should be ~7200 (and a crit should be >10k and that would be kinda awesome ). What I am seeing though are hits around 6000 +/- 200. 20-25% are just missing.
Did I understand something wrong? Make an error in the calculation?
... and do you know any other combination that would yield a higher hit?

COLDWATER � Several pets from the Humane Society of Branch County�found forever homes Saturday during an Adopt-A-Thon event at Tractor Supply Company in Coldwater.
TSC stores are able to host such events once per quarter. The Coldwater store, located�on Lott Road,�just opened a couple of months ago and this was the first Adopt-A-Thon held there.
Several dogs from the Humane Society of Branch County, located at 969 Wildwood Road in Quincy, were available to be adopted.
With approximately 12,000 stores nationwide, Tractor Supply provides flyers and coupons to promote the Adopt-A-Thon events. Tractor Supply's website says, "Helping someone get up on a horse is called 'giving a leg up.' We think it's an excellent way to describe our community outreach efforts, because it implies more than just giving financial support. It�s rolling up our sleeves and getting involved."
Quincy resident Jessica Rodgers, Animal Outreach Coordinator at the Coldwater Tractor Supply location, has volunteered along with her sister Jenny and mother Karen at the HSBC for the past five months.
"I have been a volunteer for the past�seven years," said Riesie Clayman of Coldwater.
There were several volunteers walking the adoptable dogs around the store to meet potential owners. Prior to the finalization of the adoption process, an application must be submitted.
"There could be a waiting period if�(the pets)�have to be neutered or spayed. It's also recommended they are not adopted out until they have had their three shot (series) as a puppy," said Rodgers.
Also available Saturday were dog toys supplied by Tractor Supply and homemade dog treats supplied by volunteers at the HSBC. All proceeds from the dog treats benefited the HSBC.
Tractor Supply donated "75 to 100 bags of dog food to the Humane Society," said Rodgers. "Today the Humane Society is giving the bags out."
In March, Tractor Supply will be sponsoring a larger Adopt-A-Thon event at the store.
"We hope to have several vendors available," said�Rodgers said.�Planning is underway for vendors to include a local veterinarian.
For more information contact Tractor Supply in Coldwater at 278-0996 or HSBC at 639-4426.

obscure artists who will surely come to be recognised as all-time greats
I'm gonna have to go for Nina Nastasia. The last time I saw her in a bar in London she played a straight-up devastating version of Untitled and I just thought...what is she doing here? Perhaps I'm being naive, but how the fuck has she not crossed over?
I suppose you could say her voice is too intense for mainstream consumption, but Polly Harvey moves in a similar area and she sold out the Albert Hall in three and a half minutes or something. Is this really so challenging?
Anyway, who would you put on the list?
that band wot Mick Squalor's in
cheers.oojimaflop this'd this
Jonny Foreigner?
Los Campesinos?
If LC! never get massive
I will consider my life wasted.
No joke.
- DaddyorChips and Cementimental this'd this
there, i said it
- automatik and trickquestion this'd this
I think she's kind of already on the way to being a living legend
Deservedly so of course.
tape her mouth shut
- TheWza, monoshono, and incandenza_ this'd this
This almost sounds smart, but what does it mean?
Stuff is no longer more or less well-known than other stuff?willma and oh_gerardus_MERCATOR this'd this
it requires the same effort to go from an empty google field to Michael Jackson's Beat It video
than it does to go to Arab Strap's (Afternoon) Soaps video (to give one example)
That's not to say that they have the same cultural significance as one another or the same popularity but accessing the past in the age of the internet means that something is either there or it isn't - a search engine will never take 3 months to find something and report back that it was an almost impossible task
obscurity is thus obsolete
Yeah I suppose I knew what you meant
But I think we're talking 'obscure' in the sense of music that, for one reason or another, is less likely to be searched for in the first place.andyvine this'd this
actually, no
obscurity is more overwhelming than ever before, since any band is competing with all of history's other bands.hibster and thosegoldsounds this'd this
- Royter-Hatfood this'd this
now so more than ever
didn't you read 'Retromania'?!?!1!!one
because the INTERNET and everything at your fingertips.
you mean The Long Tail?
if there's any bloody justice in the world.slavestate, Comaboy, GoffBoy, silverfoxqpr, Loui_Tacceh, and Oissin_ this'd this
they'll always be a cult band
It would be nice if a lot more people could appreciate that kind of music, but not gonna happen.georgiabeth this'd this
Knew they'd be one of the first five anawers
- Cementimental this'd this
British Sea Power
Quite suprising how few people have heard of them given they've sold out venues like the Roundhouse in the past.
I was aware they existed for about 5 years before I actually saw them live and became a fan.emmettcruddas and JaguarPirate this'd this
I blame their stupid-ass name
It's why I'd never even bothered to youtube them until I saw the respect they got here.
I would have agreed with this 8 years ago
so, so sad how bland that band turned out to be :(theguywithnousername, LordLuciusBanter, Royter-Hatfood, and umlaut_ampersand this'd this
Martini Henry Riffles.
kozelekjosh and crosseyedsniper this'd this
so very true
spends ten years in RHP playing awesome indie music when indie is in, then another ten years playing awesome acoustic led music when folky stuff comes in. And still he's not that well known!
pleased to meet you.
Shield Your Eyes
they're just depressingly awesome, knock out an album a year, no sign of slowing down
There's no way Low and British Sea Power are "obscure artists".
And Joanna Newsom is pushing it...
Newsom filled the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Which doesn't feel very obscure to me.Severed799 this'd this
- Royter-Hatfood this'd this
That's definitely not true for BSP.
Do You Like Rock Music charted at #10 in the UK and #5 in the US, and they've had numerous Top 40 singles. I'm by no means saying they're massive, but for a while they were pretty well known.
#5 on the "Heat Seekers" chart
of fast rising but low selling stuff
I heard low's just like christmas in my local poundland on saturday. They probably crop up in really mainstream magazines like q and uncut, probably make it into a fair few best of lists each year they have an album, and are probably the most well known acti in their sub genre. The average person on the street may not have heard of them but they probably wouldnt have heard of the all time great film makers, painters etc either.
I dont think many of the bands mentioned can really count as obscure as they are well regarded and successful in their area, I think to be really obscure they would have to be realitively unknown even amongst people into that kind of thing
outside the insulated world of people that like that sort of music
would be more accurate
thre are lots of people that dont post on dis that are fully aware of all of these bands
that was to icarus smicarus
not to thingsthatfly
i agree with ttf
they ain't shit outside the UK.
so yeah.
Shudder to Think
Very influential band, who barely put a foot wrong. Their sound was ahead of their time.fellover, funkycow, DaddyorChips, and waterwings this'd this
last night i saw deerhoof again
and i really can't understand why they're not bigger
have you heard the singing?
Wonderful band, but can totally see why they haven't broken into the mainstream
it's a fair point i suppose.
but they're like one of the absolute champion bands. it hurts me that people are stupid
Assuming we mean obscure in the broad sense:
Then I think the obvious answer is Joanna Newsom.
There are plenty of other talented, under-appreciated people, but I think there is every chance that Ys and Have one on me will be judged up there with Cohen, Dylan, Blue-era Joni Mitchell etc as singular feats of songwriting.bokonon and pichaelmarker this'd this
- Clair_de_Lune and dmnc this'd this
They've made 4 amazing albums
since Waterpistol.
they lost me at Here's Tom With The Weather
It was like they deliberately aimed at being the humdrum dadrock band their detractors always thought they were.
Dadrock? I feel for you :(
Here's Tom... is a brilliant album. Its a little more laid back and melodic than their other stuff but has some gorgeous songs on it. Listen to this:
You're trippin'!
Here's Tom is my favourite Shack album, in fact it's my favourite album by anyone so far this century. Every song a killer. Really can't see how it can be described as dadrock, unless the likes of Love, Burt Bacharach & Nick Drake are dadrock acts.
I dunno, kids
I think a lot of these acts are gonna stay fairly close to their current levels of success/esteem.
Low? Exactly how big and critically slavered over do you think they're gonna get?
I'm talking about a point in the future where people say "I can't BELIEVE you saw Band X in Venue Y!!!!!" in reference to the current state of play.
I totally agree about Joanna being an all-time great but I kind of feel like we're at the point where anybody who isn't a dingbat already knows she is.
Couldn't agree with the OP more, NN has been consistently great for
over ten years. Sharon Van who?Mnemosene this'd this
the thing that does my head in is that Nina was playing on the New York scene for years before Dogs
God to have been there!DaddyorChips and silverfoxqpr this'd this
Connan Mockasin for me
His debut album will be getting BBC4 esque documentaries as a classic album of it's time.Antelope this'd this
yeah was pretty sensational
and not like anything else I've ever heard
although 'dolphin' and 'choade' tower over the rest imo, that's the secrets-of-the-universe shit right there
Maybe The National
Maybe of Montreal, Future of the Left, Smog, the Wrens, Cat Power, Patrick Wolf, Jeff Lewis, Bat for Lashes, Warpaint, Wild Beasts.
Probably none of the above. It's especially hard to spot a timeless artist as those kind of types are necessarily something other than 'relevant'. Hence all ^those^ already being fairly established as known entities of cultness/whatever.
Not convinced
In Canada they're less well-known than, say, The xx - let alone R.E.M or the Pixies or something.
They charted in the UK
Top 5
Cat Power definitely
Records like Moon Pix and What Would the Community think have a real timeless quality about them.
I remember seeing an interview with Matt Berninger where he said Cat Power's probably the most influential artist of his generation.
John Frusciante
He's been making pretty interesting stuff for years.
Of course, he is known as a former member of one of the world's biggest bands, with his guitar work heralded therein.
I mean as an artist in his own right.
I've always thought he was too weird for the mainstream but his background has made him to mainstream for others who won't listen because he was in RHCP.
- johnwiddop this'd this
- Und_Gorgeous_Cars this'd this
They aren't well known outside of the UK so perhaps one day they'll be recognized worldwide
A shame no-one replied to this;
Fucking amazing songwriter. Fantastic pop songs about the most morbid and horrible of subjects. He was a genius.
Dan Bejar
- thephotobooth and Mnemosene this'd this
yeah definitely
it's bizarre, he should be a cult icon, every record he releases should be an 'event', but his records hardly get any attention, or at least nowhere near what they deserve. I didn't see Apocalypse in any end of year lists last year, despite it being amazing.
I think his last two albums have been the strongest of his career, but they'll never get the acclaim that Smog albums do because they don't have a clear aesthetic in the same way.
Ikara Colt, on account of being brilliant.
Jonathan Fire*Eater, on account of being a proto-Strokes.
Cay, on account of being the lost band that never really was, and can never reform.
yeah, I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that Ikara Colt and Jonathan Fire*Eater will NEVER be considered "all-time greats"
Not heard Cay.
Of all the suggestions in the thread you coulda chosen to be so very unequivocal about...
not sure if any of these will get that kind of recognition
not above the level they reach in their time.
Jason Molina
A fantastic body of work. Probably didn't do himself any favours with changing the name of his band as well as collaborations and solo albums. A tragic tale, a masterpiece to his name ('The Magnolia Electric Co.') I've never met anyone who has heard it who doesn't think that albums great, even my AFI/Marilyn Manson fan ex girlfriend from 6 years ago. I'd love him to get better, and have another shot.oceanRain, petetheweed, DaddyorChips, and Mnemosene this'd this
i was gonna say molina
his last few albums have been shockers though.
no way, he was turning out great songs right up to his health crisisjohnwiddop this'd this
:D thats my favourite song of his actually
think its the only one bar 'the black ram' thats more than decent from his last five or six.
In light of today's news, I have spent the evening exploring much of Molina's work that I hadn't heard before. If I could 'this' the post again, I would.johnwiddop and rich-t this'd this
This is literally the saddest submission I've seen since Cronin revived a Sparklehorse thread after Mark Linkous' death.
TV on the Radio
will be/are canonised but not obscure obscure though.
Xiu Xiu? Gang Gang Dance? Burial's there already. Titus Andronicus? Liars? St Vincent?
are GBV obscure?
if so, Pollard.orangejuice this'd this
- MarwoodW this'd this
British sea power are anything but bland
but I'd have to say Luke Haines, especially his solo stuff. He'll be well admired after his death.
- thesewoodenideas this'd this
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
there's a lot going on in those there songs
Simply cannot believe a band with so much class & so many great songs were allowed to remain in obscurity. I hope at some point in the next 50 years they will be rediscovered & people will be baffled that they never played arenas.
I will never be able to fathom why JJ72 didn't become the biggest band in the world
In 20 years I To Sky will be held in the same breath as Kid A
- alcxxk, Sloame_Ocean, and Mnemosene this'd this
i've g0t an0ther 0ne... Will 0ldham
ISAD al0ne should mean he is ranked as one 0f the m0st incredible s0ng writers ever.
- watsona7 this'd this
Jens Lekman?
maybe not an All Time Great but his songs are catchy and easy enough to listen to that he should probably be more popular (outside of Sweden) than he is.
I know what you mean
in the future I reckon his songwriting will be seen to be head and shoulders above that of all the other artists who inhabit that 'indietracks' sort of world.
Always suprised Seafood never not bigger
I mean if Biffy Clyro can get massive they should have been able to. Esp since they were prob more accessable than early Biffy.
- Mick_Squalor and waterwings this'd this
I guess if he loosened it it would eventually fall off
might save time to just lose itDaddyorChips this'd this
I dont think anyone will be recognised as all time greats in the future, so much easier to hear more artists now, and vastly diminished importance and influence of music crticim, or atleast alot more sources so it, loads of acts will be very well regarded in their niches but I don't think there will be acts that make it huge and still have enough critical aclaim to reach all time great status. I reckon the last band that achieved it were radiohead and they are from well before the internet era
this lot
probably a bunch of drum & bass stuff
aphrodite & moving shadow stuff will be rediscovered by a future generation I'm sure and people will marvel at their skills will a sampler, a pc world desktop & windows '95
- Body_In_The_Thames this'd this
Well a lot of it depends how long the band goes on for
The quicker decent bands split or die the easier it is to class them as all-time greats.
The Twang
The Feeling
If there is to be any justice,
the answer to this thread is Mark Eitzel.chasingabee, DaddyorChips, and Mnemosene this'd this
- calumlynn, thedamnedear, wilbur, and ethricdouble this'd this
She probably is.
Doesn't mean she won't also be recognised as being an all-time great.
- ThisTemporaryLife this'd this
although they get more recognition these days, felt still remain woefully under-appreciated.calumlynn this'd this
Hype Williams
Definitely one of the best contemporary groups aroundethricdouble and Fuzzy_Dunlop this'd this
Inga Copeland
looks like she might concentrate more and more on her solo material, and what she's put out so far is very special. she has this sweet distinctive voice that isn't too divisive and she has bags of attitude. She could go places.
- TheWza and Huggy_Bear this'd this
- valenci this'd this
Matthew E White
Deerhoof, Jeffrey Lewis, R Stevie Moore
to repeat a few from above
The Olivia Tremor Control
Codeine, The Mountain Goats, Sleater-Kinney, Titus Andronicus, Bo Ningen
On an already 'bigger' scale, hopefully Guided By Voices and Hot Chip
I read on here recently that Patrick Stickles still lives with his parents.
Titus Andronicus are one of the best bands I've ever heard, and they put on an unfuckwithable show. It is absolute bullshit that they aren't playing sold-out shows in upper-midsized venues everywhere.
(I would say "sold-out shows in arenas" but they do not fit there)emmettcruddas this'd this
Spencer Krug
Phil ElverumThisTemporaryLife this'd this
It's interesting to think about the likes of The Velvet Underground or maybe Joy Division
in terms of how much of a lasting influence they had compared to their contemporary impact. Trying to pick out modern equivalents is pretty much blind guess work though so I'll shut up.

Everyone eventually goes on a journey.
"I remember packing a suitcase and carrying it out to the kitchen, standing very still for a few minutes, looking carefully at the familiar objects all around me. The old chrome toaster, the telephone, the pink and white Formica on the kitchen counters. The room was full of bright sunshine. Everything sparkled. My house, I thought. My life. I'm not sure how long I stood there, but later I scribbled out a short note to my parents."
What I said, exactly, I don't recall now. Something vague. Taking off, will call, love Tim."
--from On the Rainy River by Tim O'Brien
You leave home and undergo trails and rites.
"The minute I walked in and the Big Bozo introduced us, I got sick to my stomach. It was one thing to be taken out of your own bed early in the morning--it was something else to be stuck in a strange place with a girl form a whole other race."
-- from "Recitatif" by Toni Morrison
You come back form the journey transformed.
"I felt growing light, I rose up into the air and flew out the window. Higher and higher, above the alley, over the tops of tiles roofs, where I was gathered up by the wind and pushed up toward the night sky until everything below me disappeared and I was alone."
-- from Rules of the Game by Amy Tan
We leave home to find home.Here is an unusual collection of short stories, from a variety of distinguished writers from different cultures and different viewpoints, that explores the turning point in every adolescent's life when he or she is forced to take that first step away from home, family, and the known. From personal tales of unwed mothers, arranged marriages, and divorcing parents, to stories about refugees and war resistance, Leaving Home paints a canvas of universal experience for teen-age readers, and includes stories by Tim Wynne-Jones, Sandra Cisneros, Gary Soto, and many others.

A throttle body is part of the air intake system that helps control the amount of air that gets into the engine. If the throttle body fails, the engine will not get the proper mixture of air and fuel and the engine may lose power.
If a throttle body is damaged, it will need to be replaced. Sometimes a throttle body is malfunctioning because it is dirty, in which case it can be cleaned and repaired.
When you are getting a major tune up, you may want to get an air induction service and fuel injection flush. The air induction service will clean the throttle plate and remove carbon from the air-intake system. This will prolong the life of the throttle body.
In order to operate optimally, your engine needs a perfect ratio of fuel and air. It achieves this through the air intake system, which sends air into the engine. The throttle body is a key part of the air intake system. It controls exactly how much air is allowed to enter the engine.
When the throttle body malfunctions or breaks, the incorrect amount of air will enter the engine, and the engine will not run well. When this happens you will likely experience a loss of power or a sputtering engine.

It gets a little complicated...
Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson (1748-1782), was Thomas Jefferson's (1743-1826) wife. She was born in Virginia at The Forest, the Charles City County plantation of her father John Wayles (1715-1773) & his 1st wife, Martha Eppes (1721-1748), who died just a week after giving her birth. John Wayles was an attorney, slave trader, business agent for the Bristol-based tobacco exporting firm of Tarell & Jones, & wealthy plantation owner. In 1734, her father John Wayles, born in Lancaster, England, had sailed for the colonies alone at the age of 19, leaving his family in England. Her mother Martha Eppes was a daughter of Francis Eppes of Bermuda Hundred. She had already been widowed once, when John Wayles married her.
As part of her dowry when she married John Wayles, Martha Jefferson's mother Martha Eppes brought with her a personal slave, Susanna, an African woman who had an 11-year-old mixed-race daughter, Elizabeth Betty Hemings. John Wayles & Martha Eppes' marriage contract provided that Susanna & Betty were to remain the property of Martha Eppes & her heirs forever. The slave Betty Hemings & her children would eventually be inherited by Martha's daughter, Martha Wayles, by then married to Thomas Jefferson.
Martha Jefferson's father John Wayles married a 2nd time, to Mary Cocke, who had 4 children. After Mary Cocke died, John Wayles married a 3rd time to Elizabeth Lomax Skelton, who died within 11 months & had no children from their union.
After his 3rd wife died in 1761, he took the mulatto slave Elizabeth Betty Hemings (1735-1807) as his concubine & had 6 children with her. Born into slavery, these children were 3/4 European in ancestry, & they were half-siblings to Martha Wayles Jefferson. And those surviving eventually came to live at Monticello as slaves.
Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson had siblings:
From her father & stepmother Mary or Tabitha Cocke Wayles d 1759 - ,
Sarah Wayles (d. infancy),
Elizabeth Wayles-Mrs Richard Eppes (1752-1810),
Tabitha Wayles-Mrs Robert Skipworth (1754-1851),
Anne Wayles-Mrs Henry Skipworth (1756-1852).
From her father & his slave Elizabeth Betty Hemings -
Nance or Nancy Hemings sold from T Jefferson's estate 1827 to Thomas Jefferson Randloph (slave, 1/2-brother 1761-a 1827),
Robert Hemings freed by T Jefferson in 1794 (slave, 1/2-brother 1760-1819 in Richmond, VA),
James Hemings freed by T Jefferson 1776 (slave, 1/2-brother 1765-1801 in Philadelphia, PA),
Thenia Hemings sold to James Monroe 1794 (slave, 1/2-sister 1767-a 1794),
Critta Hemings - Mrs Zachariah Bowles (slave, 1/2-sister 1769-a 1827 perhaps 1850),
Peter Hemings freed in T Jefferson's will (slave, 1/2-brother 1770-1834 in Albemarle, VA),
Sally Hemings (slave, 1/2-sister 1773-1835).
Betty Hemings also had several children born before those from her union with John Wayles. At Wayles death, the Jeffersons inherited her father's slaves which had come into John Wayles' household with his marriage with her mother Martha Epps, including the Hemings family. Many of the Hemings family members who came to Monticello had privileged positions, They were trained & worked as domestic servants, gardeners, chefs, & highly skilled artisans.
Just like her mother, Martha Wayley Jefferson had been widowed once, when Thomas Jefferson married her. She was married 1st to Bathurst Skelton on 20 November 1766. Their son, John, was born the following year, on 7 November 1767. Bathurst died on 30 September 1768. Although Thomas Jefferson may have begun courting the young widow in December 1770, while she was living again at The Forest with her young son, they did not marry until 1 January 1772, six months after the death of her young son John Skelton on 10 June 1771.
Following their January 1, 1772 wedding, the Jeffersons honeymooned for about 2 weeks at her father's plantation The Forest, before setting out in a two-horse carriage for Monticello. They made the 100-mile trip in a horrible snowstorm. Just 8 miles from their destination, their carriage bogged down in 2–3 feet of snow. The newlyweds had to continue their journey on horseback. The 2 horses which had been pulling the carriage, now carried them. Arriving at Monticello late at night to find no fire, no food, & the slaves asleep, they toasted their new home with a leftover half-bottle of wine & "song and merriment and laughter." The couple settled into a freezing one-room, 20-foot-square brick building, they nicknamed "Honeymoon Cottage." Later known as the South Pavilion, it was to be their home, until Jefferson had completed the main house at Monticello.
There are no known portraits of Martha Wayles Jefferson, & descriptions of her appearance are scant. The above silhouette is posted on the National First Ladies Library website. I certainly have my doubts that this was done during her lifetime or even shortly thereafter. It is difficult to know what Martha Jefferson looked like, when she was alive.
In his Memoirs of a Monticello Slave, Isaac described Mrs. Jefferson as small & said the younger daughter, Mary, was pretty "like her mother." Unfortunately, no contemporary portrait of Mary Jefferson Epps exists either.
As to her disposition, the Marquis de Chastellux described her as, "A gentle & amiable wife. . ." & her sister's husband, Robert Skipwith, assured Jefferson that she possessed, ". . .the greatest fund of good nature. . .that sprightliness & sensibility which promises to ensure you the greatest happiness mortals are capable of enjoying."
As a young girl Martha probably was educated at home by tutors. As a young woman, she was considered accomplished in music, painting & other refined arts. Hessian officer Jacob Rubsamen who visited Jefferson at Monticello in 1780, noted, "You will find in his house an elegant harpsichord piano forte & some violins. The latter he performs well upon himself, the former his lady touches very skillfully & who, is in all respects a very agreeable sensible & accomplished lady." During their courtship Jefferson had ordered a German clavichord for Martha, then changed his order to a pianoforte, "worthy the acceptance of a lady for whom I intend it."
During her lifetime Martha Jefferson bore 7 children. Her son John, born during her first marriage, died at the age of 3, in the summer before she married Jefferson. Of the 6 children born during her 10 year marriage with Jefferson, only 2 daughters, Martha & Mary, would live to adulthood. Two daughters (Jane Randolph & Lucy Elizabeth) & an unnamed son died as infants. Her last child, also named Lucy Elizabeth, would die at the age of 2 of whooping cough. Martha herself lived only 4 months after the birth of this last child.
Children of Martha Wayles Skelton & Thomas Jefferson were:
Martha "Patsy" Washington Jefferson Randolph (1772–1836)
Jane Randolph Jefferson (1774–1775)
Unnamed Son Jefferson (b./d. 1777)
Mary "Polly" Jefferson Eppes (1778–1804)
Lucy Elizabeth Jefferson (1780–1781)
Lucy Elizabeth Jefferson (1782–1785)
Before her death in September of 1782, Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson copied the following lines from Laurence Sterne's Tristam Shandy: "Time wastes too fast: every letter I trace tells me with what rapidity life follows my pen. The days & hours of it are flying over our heads like clouds of windy day never to return--more. Every thing presses on..."
One of just 4 documents in Martha's hand known to survive, this incomplete quotation was completed by Jefferson, transforming the passage into a poignant dialogue between husband & wife: "And every time I kiss thy hand to bid adieu, every absence which follows it, are preludes to that eternal separation which we are shortly to make!"
The exact cause of Martha's death is not known; however, a letter from Jefferson to the Marquis de Chastellux would indicate that she never recovered from the birth of her last child. Lucy Elizabeth was born May 8, & Martha died the following September.
Jefferson noted in his account book for September 6, 1782, "My dear wife died this day at 11:45 A.M." In his letter to the Marquis de Chastellux, Jefferson refered to "...the state of dreadful suspense in which I had been kept all the summer & the catastrophe which closed it." He goes on to say, "A single event wiped away all my plans & left me a blank which I had not the spirits to fill up."
Edmund Randolph reported to James Madison in September 1782, that "Mrs Jefferson has at last shaken off her tormenting pains by yielding to them, & has left our friend inconsolable. I ever thought him to rank domestic happiness in the first class of the chief good; but I scarcely supposed, that his grief would be so violent, as to justify the circulating report, of his swooning away, whenever he sees his children."
Jefferson buried his wife in the graveyard at Monticello, & as a part of her epitaph added lines in Greek from Homer's The Iliad. "Εί δέ φανόντων περ καταλήφοντ ειν Αίδαο, Αύτάρ έγω κάκείθι φίλσ μεμνήσομ' έταίρσ." A modern translation reads: Even if I am in Hell, where the dead forget their dead, yet will I even there be mindful of my dear companion. Below the Greek inscription, the tombstone reads: "To the memory of Martha Jefferson, Daughter of John Wayles; Born October 19th, 1748, O.S. Intermarried with Thomas Jefferson January 1st, 1772; Torn from him by death September 6th, 1782: This monument of his love is inscribed."
His wife's death left Jefferson distraught. After the funeral, he withdrew to his room for 3 weeks. Afterward he spent hours riding horseback through the woods on the hill surrounding Monticello. His daughter Martha wrote, "In those melancholy rambles I was his constant companion, a solitary witness to many a violent burst of grief." Half a century later his daughter Martha remembered his sorrow: "the violence of his emotion...to this day I not describe to myself."
Not until mid-October, did Jefferson begin to resume a normal life, when he wrote, "emerging from that stupor of mind which had rendered me as dead to the world as was she whose loss occasioned it." In November of 1783, he agreed to serve as commissioner to France, eventually taking his older daughter Martha "Patsy" with him in 1784, and sending for Mary "Polly" later. Accompanying them in France was the family slave Sally Hemings.
Sally Hemings was lady's maid to Jefferson's daughters, & also worked as a chambermaid & seamstress. She spent 2 years in Paris, after accompanying 9-year-old Mary "Polly" Jefferson across the ocean. According to her son Madison, Sally Hemings began a relationship with Jefferson in Paris, & bore him a number of children. Although she was not freed by the terms of Jefferson's will, she was not among the slaves sold at the 1827 estate auction at Monticello. Jefferson's daughter Martha "Patsy" Jefferson Randolph presumably gave Sally "her time," that is, freed her unofficially, so that she would not be subject to the 1806 Virginia law requiring freed slaves to leave the state within 1 year. Madison Hemings recalled that after Jefferson's death in 1826, he & his brother Eston took their mother to live with them in a rented house down in Charlottesville. Sally Heming would have been about 54 at that time, & she would live nearly a decade more.
The claim that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with his slave Sally Hemings burst into the public arena during Jefferson's 1st term as president, & it is still the subject of discussion & debate. In September 1802, political journalist James T. Callender, a failed office-seeker & former ally of Jefferson, wrote in a Richmond newspaper that Jefferson had for many years "kept, as his concubine, one of his own slaves." "Her name is Sally," Callender claimed that Jefferson had "several children" by her. Public knowledge of even the rumors that Jefferson had parented several slave children became a scandal during his Administration.
In 1873, the Pike County (Ohio) Republican, ran a series entitled, "Life Among the Lowly," Which included a memoir by Madison Hemings, a resident of Ross County, Ohio. Hemings stated that his mother Sally, who was the half-sister of Jefferson's wife, Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson & a slave of Thomas Jefferson, gave birth to 5 children "and Jefferson was the father of them all." Madison Hemings said in 1873, that his mother had been pregnant with Jefferson's child (who, he said, lived "but a short time"), when she returned from France in 1789.
Sally Hemings' children listed in Monticello records are:
Harriet (1795-1797),
Beverly (born 1798),
an unnamed daughter (born 1799; died in infancy),
Harriet (born 1801),
Madison (1805-1877),
Eston (1808-1856).
All 4 of Sally Hemings's surviving known children became free close to their 21st birthdays. The oldest surviving son Beverly Hemings & his sister Harriet Hemings were allowed to leave Monticello without pursuit & apparently passed into white society. Their descendants have not been located. Their brothers Madison Hemings & Eston Hemings remained at Monticello until after Jefferson's 1826 death; both were freed in his will.
As one DNA study indicates, the widower Jefferson & Martha Wayley Jefferson's half sister Sally Hemings parented at least one, possibly several illegitimate children, after the death of Martha Jefferson. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation states on the Monticello webiste, "TJF and most historians now believe that, years after his wife's death, Thomas Jefferson was the father of the six children of Sally Hemings mentioned in Jefferson's records, including Beverly, Harriet, Madison, and Eston Hemings."
This article is based on information from the Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia produced by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, based on Gaye Wilson, Monticello Research Report, October 10, 1998. Also see John Kukla, Mr. Jefferson's Women, (New York: Knopf Books, 2007)

"Finding a house for yourself is not an easy or light task. I couldn't image finding a house for someone else! It is great working with Angie, she brings the patience, perseverance, and knowledge of 15 years experience to help find the right house at the right price."
Eric Decho 4/8/2015
"We were very satisfied with the manner in which Angie Cramer helped us with the sale of our home and purchase of our new home. Angie went above and beyond what was required. She gave good pointers and helped us get through the process of selling and purchasing our homes in a timely manner. I highly recommend Angie as a real estate agent."
Paul and Diane Pearson 4/8/2015
"Angela was always available to answer any questions we had or to show us a property. She is an authority on foreclosures and the process to make a purchase. Her recommendation of a mortgage processor, made that part so much easier, that buying our home was a genuine pleasure!"
Lane and Jane De Vors 3/28/2015
"We would highly recommend Angie. She was very professional, helpful and thorough. She listed our home and we had two offers at full asking price. She always followed through and went above and beyond with the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. She is a real go-getter!"

Update – Details on Tuesday's Third Armed Robbery [AUDIO]
There were three armed robberies on Tuesday morning. Two between 12:45 and 1:15 a.m. and a third in the 7 o'clock hour.
Missoula Police detective sergeant Travis Welsh says an investigation is ongoing as to whether one individual may have been responsible for all three robberies. The suspect in the third robbery is described as being between 5'5 and 5'10, with a slight build, a scraggly beard of facial hair and wearing a checkered hoody. He brandished a silver colored handgun, which is similar to the gun used in the other two robberies.
Welsh says the suspect may have escaped the area in a smaller dark-colored SUV, perhaps a Kia or a Hyundai.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 721-44-44.

Sorrows is best played with 4 players which helps
retain some semblance of the intended Gauntlet experience.
by Vaughn Smith
can't trash a classic like Gauntlet. It's the original
four-player co-op, dungeon crawling, hack-and-slash
game that all others are compared to - including Seven
Sorrows. When you trace the origins of the Gauntlet
series back to the arcades it's easy to see why gamers
fell in love with it. Up until Gauntlet arrived on
the scene, multiplayer games were virtually non-existent.
With a depth never before seen in a coin op, gamers
flocked to arcades and pool halls to work their way
through the dungeons in search of secrets, treasure
and adventure.
Sorrows takes the heart of the original Gauntlet and
runs with it which might confuse gamers expecting
something along the lines of Dark Legacy. Originally
Seven Sorrows was to be a far deeper experience (note:
arcade depth and home console depth are not even on
the same scale) but due to a troubled development,
many of the grandiose plans for Seven Sorrows were
left by the side of the cobblestone road. What we
are left with is an entertaining 4 player game that
is more twitch gaming than RPG, but it's fun while
it lasts.
backstory of Seven Sorrows is actually deeper than
the gameplay, but if you're one of those who needs
an excuse to hack and slash, it will definitely help.
The Four immortal heroes aptly named the Valkyrie,
the Elf, the Wizard and the Warrior were betrayed
by the Emperor of the Uricointi Empire who secretly
coveted their immortality. Thanks to some mis-information
spread by one of his 6 magical advisors he became
convinced that the four heroes were responsible for
his misfortune. In a classic double cross, the Emperor's
six trusted and powerful advisors turned on the Emperor
after the heroes had been stripped of their immortality
and confined to the Great Tree Rit'i Malki. Realizing
his error and using the last of his magic power, the
Emperor freed the heroes and now requires their help
to rid the world of the 6 sorrows he has spread to
the world. Conveniently this task is thrust upon you
as it's now your responsibility because you bought
the game. Talk about being in the wrong place at the
wrong time!
from the boss battles, the focus of Seven Sorrows
is to hack, slash and combo countless waves of monsters
while attempting to make your way to the generator
that keeps pumping out these abuses of nature. Keep
repeating this process and you'll find yourself at
the end of the game, most likely sooner than you'd
expect. There is no arguing that Seven Sorrows is
a short game although you can increase the longevity
by playing alone, but what fun is that? The role playing
elements involve increasing your individual characters
attributes by spending the cash you find on new moves.
Admittedly some of the moves you begin the game are
good enough to carry you through most of the adventure,
but there are some fancy shmancy moves that curious
players will want to purchase, if only to change things
up a bit.
Sorrows manages to improve upon the feeling of individuality
which hasn't been evident in previous Gauntlet games.
For example playing as Elf is distinctly different
than playing as Valkyrie or the Warrior and I believe
that to be Seven Sorrows greatest strength. Control
of each character is responsive and tight and I suggest
wringing every ounce of playability out of GSS by
completing the game with each character.
