There i've said it. This was one huge cheesefest.
Which means i didnt like it very much, sadly.
Her first book The Next Together was an incredibly clever concept, time travel, time loops, historical love affairs etc. and would have been an award winning novel if it had been written by a more experienced person. Sadly it came out as very tacky and the concepts were wasted with pointless drivel and cheesy love themes. I lost count of how many times the female character said, and i quote "her toes curled" when he kissed me. Ugghhh! just NO.
This one though had the means to be a really cool book too but this time it was just tooooooooooooooo predictable. I mean here we have the daughter of the couple above, finding out who her real parents were when she was 16 and her adopted parents just happened to be scientists too and who had created the worlds first time machine!
I mean, i ask you, even a monkey could guess where the book was going, and it did! I didnt even read past page 62! Somehow it seemed like a waste of my life to continue to the end so i flicked through and I was right.
She also tried to create funny sequences between her main character, the rather strangely named Clove (yes, precisely) and an AI computer character. The humour was somewhat stilted though and felt rather forced. perhaps stick to scientific plots for now eh?
Are there any positives? Yes actually. Her ideas for a YA novel were really on target for originality, I loved in both books the mix of historical and modern day parts which has normally only been done in Adult novels and the covers of both books are scrummy. Hoepfully she will continue to improve as a writer in the future.

SS Hampton, Sr., goes through The Gates of Moses
SS Hampton, Sr. is a full-blood Choctaw of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, a divorced grandfather to 13 grandchildren, and a veteran of Operations Noble Eagle (2004-2006) and Iraqi Freedom (2006-2007). He has served in the Army National Guard since October 2004, and holds the rank of staff sergeant. He is a published photographer and photojournalist, an aspiring painter, and is studying for a degree in photography and anthropology—hopefully to someday work in underwater archaeology. His writings have appeared as stand-alone stories, and in anthologies from Dark Opus Press, Edge Science Fiction & Fantasy, Melange Books, Musa Publishing, MuseItUp Publishing, Ravenous Romance, and as stand-alone stories in Horror Bound Magazine, Ruthie's Club, Lucrezia Magazine, The Harrow, and River Walk Journal, among others. As of December 2011, he became the latest homeless Iraq war veteran in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Please describe your writing environment.
It's a rather austere and tiny efficiency large enough for a bed, a long folding table and a second kitchen table, with several bookcases for my books and magazines, and storage cases for my DVDs and CDs. As I can't stand silence I'm always listening to music or have a DVD playing on my flat screen TV. And, that's about it.
Do you plan all your characters out before you start a story or do they develop as you write?
I plan the major characters in some detail such as where they were born, year, education, and personalities. I even write a few words about their parents. Strangely enough, probably due to my own background, almost all do not have siblings. I don't think I'd know how to write about brothers and sisters. Once I have the character established and start writing I have a good idea about how a character will react in what situations. Sometimes though, as the story progresses, the character evolves as well.
How much research do you do for your books? Have you found any cool tidbits in your research?
As much as it takes to establish a believable background. Yes. For instance, for a World War II story that takes place in North Africa, I learned of "troglodytes" that live in the Matmata Hills of southern Tunisia. It seems (according to Wikipedia) that not even the government knew of them until the late 1960s, I think, when there were severe rains in the area. Seems this small "branch" of the Berbers (a desert people scattered across North Africa) dig a pit in the ground, build walls around the pit, and then cover their homes with dirt. Basically you wouldn't notice you were passing through one of their villages unless they emerged from their homes. I knew that "Star Wars" was filmed in Tunisia, but it seems that the home where Luke Skywalker lived with his aunt and uncle is actually a "troglodyte" hotel at the edge of the Matmata Hills (according to Wikipedia).
If you had to choose one person to have dinner with, who would it be? And why?
Gee – Lady Gaga or Bernard B. Fall? Britney Spears or H.P. Lovecraft? Katy Perry or George Armstrong Custer? What the heck—George Armstrong Custer. Tell me of West Point in the 19th century. Tell me in detail of what it was like to be a cavalryman on campaign in the Civil War; tell me of human courage and foolhardiness, and of the chaos of the noise of musketry and cannon fire, and the blur of smoke and dust. Tell me about the western prairies and the Native people there. Finally, tell me in extreme detail of that day on the Little Big Horn in June, 1876. Tell me why you positioned your cavalry companies the way you did, and finally, tell me of that moment when you realized there was a mistake, and you knew that you and your men were going to die.
Do you write full time? What did you do before you became a writer? Or Still do?
No. I wish I did with appropriate financial reward to allow me to write full time, but I attend college full time, and I continue to serve in the Army National Guard. I consider myself to be a writer, and I worked for the Federal government when my first story was published. I left Colorado, worked briefly out here in Las Vegas, Nevada, became unemployed, and joined the Guard. I continue to work for the Guard from time to time in addition to monthly drill, but regarding a civilian job—I can't even get hired to sweep and mop and pick up cigarette butts.
When you have writer's block how do you break free?
Breaking free of writer's block is an act of desperation. There are many things I want to write, but can't. The motivation, the desire and need to put a story on paper is there, but it's like trying to break out of a block of ice. But finally, forcing myself to type, though I know what I'm writing is no good, is a first step. I force myself to keep at it a little every day. The words become more than empty shells, they become words full of meaning that strung together, become a story. The old desire of putting a story on paper and editing (I dislike editing) to make it a better story, comes to life. And the writer's block is shattered.
Is there a genre of book you would like to write but haven't yet?
I have to admit, steampunk. I don't know much about it, but it sounds like a challenge. And it might even be fun.
How can readers find out more about you and your books?
Google "author SS Hampton Sr" and my name will pop up on the first 6-8 pages. Guest blog postings and interviews will give a pretty good idea about me, as well as lead to the publishers of my various writings.
What's your favorite genre to read?
There's two—science fiction and horror. Unfortunately, I don't make time to read fiction that much anymore. What I read is mostly research material, and military articles and books.
What was your first published work and when was it published?
THE 24TH OF DECEMBER was a little 2,400 word short story published in 1992. I submitted it to a fledgling literary magazine in Colorado Springs, Colorado, titled JOURNEYS. Journeys was a print magazine published by the owner of a little bookshop located in a former home. To my great surprise it was accepted.
An engineer dedicated to saving Venice from the rising seas, fails in his task. As a severe storm and high tides threaten to burst through the flood walls, he resolves to remain in Venice with a ghostly lover who claimed his heart years before. A woman from his staff who loves him, does not evacuate, but remains to battle his ghostly lover before he dies in a sinking Venice…

|I ordered 24 Eucalyptus Deglupta (rainbow gum) for 3.69. It is a beautiful tree with rainbow colored peeling bark. I've grown two seedlings before but they died due to neglect that was because of depression.
They germinate easily.
I going to use them for bonsai and I haven't decided whether I doing a single tree in a pot, a group planting, or both.
When the past is forgotten it is destined to be repeated.

|That will make a really gorgeous bonsai tree, Adam. If you grow just a single one, it maybe will make a bigger trunk as you keep trimming it, and show off its pretty bark colors.
Here's pictures of one I saw at the botanical garden in Gr. Cayman a couple of years ago. They get really large!

From launching new, experiential products to producing immersive communications, brands and their agencies are increasingly tuning into the Millennial Generation – the under 35-year-olds who count for one in every four British adults.
Says Jason Cobbold, managing director of Redscout London, a strategy and innovation agency: "It's such a broad group, but the term 'millennial' and what it stands for is so symbolic. It is how we naturally think about audiences, tending to look for meaningful historic moments."
Cobbold continued saying that savvy marketers are starting to design 'experience' into products today. He points to Miller Coors in the States, which has launched a beer aimed at millennials called Miller Fortune. It aims to encapsulate the spirit and adventure of the late-night occasion and has 'gamified' its bottle top into a 'heads or tails' counter.

In June 2007 the Queensland government released its Smart Energy Policy, part of its Climate Smart 2050 strategy. The primary Smart Energy Policy initiatives include: Queensland Renewable Energy Fund (QREF) of AUD 50 million. The fund supports the development and deployment of innovative renewable energy generation technologies in Queensland. Round One closed on 26 May 2008 and applications are now progressing through technical, economic and financial assessment. Successful projects will be announced towards the end of 2008. Smart Energy Savings Program, requiring Queenslands medium- to- large energy users to complete energy conservation audits and develop energy management plans detailing actions that reduce energy use. This programme is supported by the Queensland Smart Energy Savings Fund. The AUD 50 million Fund provides grants and secured concessional loans distributed through competitive funding rounds to Queensland-based businesses to invest in commercial energy saving projects. The 10% Renewable and Low Emission Energy Target Scheme, under which electricity retailers will be required to source 10% of their electricity sales from Queensland-based renewable or low-emissions generators by 2020. The Scheme will have an initial target of 6% by 2015, increasing to 10% by 2020 and remaining constant at 10% until 2030. Electricity retailers that do not source enough of their electricity from renewable and low emission generators will incur financial penalties. A feed-in tariff of AUD 44 cents/kWh, known as the Solar Bonus Scheme, for electricity generated by solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and exported to the grid on an instantaneous net metering basis. The deployment of Home EnergyWise Kits, providing tools developed to assist households self assess their appliance energy use and identify measures to lower their electricity bill. Households will also be able to borrow the EnergyWise Appliance Tester toolbox from their local library, containing a portable electricity usage meter and energy auditing information and check list. A Smart Carbon geosequestration initiative, with AUD 10 million of funding, undertaken through the Geological Survey of Queensland. The initiative will assess, evaluate and categorise geological sites in Queensland that have the potential for long-term, safe and secure storage of carbon dioxide emissions. Establishment of a Clean Coal Council, to provide advice regarding funding priorities and projects to achieve the objective of accelerated development, deployment, and widespread use of clean coal technology. The council comprises senior government officials, coal industry representatives, and research institution representatives. Since January 2005, Queensland electricity retailers and large electricity users have been required to source at least 13% of their electricity from gas-fired generators. Building on this, the target is increased to 18% by 2020. For new electricity generation, coal-fired projects will only be considered where power stations can demonstrate either: -the ability of future integration with clean coal or carbon capture and storage; or -that the project is tied to direct foreign investment in a major energy-intensive project in Queensland which might otherwise be attracted to a nation that is a Non-Annex 1 country under the Kyoto Protocol (less stringent emissions standards regarding electricity generation), and they adopt best practice generation technology, or -Queenslands energy supply security is compromised and alternative energy sources are not economical in the timeframe.

Ontario's Ombudsman Paul Dubé announced May 24 he was opening an investigation into how the Ministry of Transportation communicates licence suspensions and reinstatements to drivers.
The Ombudsman is an independent office of the Legislature who investigates complaints by the public about the government's services.
According to the Ombudsman, "we have heard from drivers who went for years without knowing their licences were suspended. When they finally found out, it was through their insurance company or police, not the Ministry — which then treated them as brand new drivers, requiring them to go through the graduated licencing program to have their licences re-instated."
If you would like to share your concerns about the provincial driver's licence system, I encourage you to file a complaint with the Ombudsman at www.ombudsman.on.ca or by phone at 1-800-263-1830.
Problems with driver's licences are not new to me. My offices in Orangeville and Bolton assist people regularly with complications surrounding driver's licences. In fact, in the last two years, my office has opened nearly 500 cases to assist people with their driver's licence. If you are having difficulty, my office has had many successes in resolving problems surround official provincial documents such as birth, marriage and death certificates, health cards and driver's licences.
The Ombudsman is an important resource for taxpayers beyond concerns about driver's licences. The Ombudsman oversees more than 1,000 public sector bodies, such as municipalities, universities, school boards, provincial ministries, crown corporations, administrative tribunals, agencies, boards and commissions.
The Ombudsman has done important investigations into the use of solitary confinement in our correctional system and adults with developmental disabilities in crisis. The Ombudsman report Nowhere to Turn outlined the unacceptable state of developmental services in Ontario, particularly instances of "abandonment." These tragic cases occur when the needs of a child are overwhelming for a family and they are forced to abandon their child to get the services they need. These families often look for a long-term solution for their child by placing them in a group home. However, group home availability is limited and there are long wait lists. Parents come to realize that the only way they can keep themselves and their child safe and get the care their child needs is to relinquish care of their child or "go into crisis;" giving up all parental rights for their child.
If you have questions or concerns about a provincial government service, I encourage you to contact my office in Orangeville (244 Broadway Orangeville, ON L9W 1K5) at 519-941-7751 or in Bolton (12596 Regional Rd. 50, Bolton, ON L7E 1T6) at 905-951-9382. You can also email at email@example.com or call toll free at 1-800-265-1603.

What an amazing summer we've had. We finally got some triple-digit days the first week of August, but now, on the 8th and 9th, we've had clouds, rain, and temps barely reaching eighty. Today's high was 75! What a treat.

How wonderful to have cooler temps! I wish you could send some cool weather to Georgia--LOL! ~ What is the lovely plant in the top right of your picture? The leaves have a bright pinkish color in the middle (or that's the way it appears on my laptop). Just curious, because it's a lovely plant and reminds me of something my Mom grew years ago. Thanks!

Greetings, Ewa and Patti. Thanks for visiting my garden blog.
Patti, the plants in both planters (foreground and background) are a combination of coleus and perilla varieties. The one you mentioned with the pink center is either Magilla Purple Perilla or a variety of coleus called Kong...I think it's Kong, but I have trouble telling them apart. (Also the yelow-green taller plant in the pot in the center is a new variety of coleus for us...Electric Lime. We have had wonderful luck with the yellow-green varieties this year (Lemon Sunsation, Wild Lime and Electric Lime). The plant in the foreground with yellow pink and green is Glennis Coleus, another beautiful variety. I love coleus because they grow fast, add tons of color without blooms (any blooms that appear on coleus should be pinched out to keep the plant bushy and colorful.) The only downside to coleus is that it can't take the least bit of cold. That's why we mixed in the Perilla this year, as it is very cold and heat hardy.
That was probably way more than you wanted to know. : )

Thanks, Deb! I really appreciate the information and your jogging my memory! Coleus is what I was trying to remember, and the name escaped me! My Mama grew quite a bit of it and I always thought it was lovely. Guess I need to try my hand at it now. Thanks again for taking time to answer! Blessings, Patti :)

This short story can be read alone or as part of a series (Parts One, Two, Three)
By Nathan C. Vance
A fourth vision came to me as I had opened my heart and asked to see more completely what was being revealed to me in part. And as I looked I saw a child. He was a beautiful child and he was full of light and somehow I knew that as others looked upon the child they could not see his beauty or his light. They saw a small, dirty child. And as I continued to look, the father greatly loved this child. The father gave everything to this child including correction at the appointed times.
And then the father had a second child who he also greatly loved. Then came a point when the older child disobeyed the father's greatest teachings and his eyes became blinded as he was tormented with jealousy over the younger brother. But the younger child loved the older and protected him in spite. But the older was unwilling to see and left his father and brother to seek a better life. The older child took all that he had and spent recklessly. He spent on entertainment and excess, never thinking of the father; never again considering his words or instructions. The father grieved for his heart was broken.
The indulgent behavior of the older son lasted for a time. Eventually, the father's hand and influence and favor had completely left the child. His light no longer shined. And then a stepfather entered the picture. This false father knew the biological father of the child and knew the child's importance to him. But this step father was not a loving and kind parent. This stepfather sought destruction upon the child. This step-parent continued to give in to every wish and want of the child, never forcing it to see reason or consequence; never allowing the child to grow. And the child became helpless and spoiled.
Eventually, when the step-parent had been with the child for so long, he grew tired of the needs and wants of the child and so, this false parent fled the child's house, giving the child over to destruction. Worse, this false parent spoke with the enemies that sought to harm the child and encouraged them to do so, for this had been the plot from the very beginning. This step-parent had sought the child from its inception hoping to grieve the biological father into submission.
The enemies of the child succeeded in his destruction. But then, the younger brother appeared. The scene was born of improbability, but the younger brother remembered the words of the father and the edict to stand by the older sibling should ever destruction befall him. And the younger brother restored the older to his rightful place. The younger brother gave the older fine clothes and direction, and the older brother thrived once more.
Then I saw more enemies coming for the older sibling. The older sibling seemed prone for a second destruction, but the father intervened, unbeknownst to the child who was still blind to the affections of the father. The father looked at his beloved oldest child and his heart was full. And he did not allow the hand of the enemy whom the step parent had sent in to touch his son.
And then, in the generation that followed, there was much bickering over the rightful parents of the child. Discussions concerning this raged in the courts and in the media. This custody battle was the focal point in all the world. Because the biological father had again touched the child with blessing, his light shined as it hadn't since his infancy and he became the product of desire. And many looked and battled for custody of the child in the step parent's name. And in the courts of humanity, there were many, an overwhelming majority, who desired to give the child back to the step parent claiming that the absence of the biological father made that him an unfit parent. And the child desperately wanted to return to the father but the court continued to block their unification. And the court would not let the child take the stand to make clear his wishes. And only the younger brother stayed by the side of the child. And the judges even allowed the testimony of witnesses whose testimonies were biased and whose credibility was suspect.
Eventually, one came, an arbitrator, who agreed to hear and resolve the case on behalf of the child once and for all. And the arbitrator had been offered a great sum by the step parent. For the step-parent grew more desperate for the child with each passing day. But the step-parent had dark and dangerous motives. He sought to turn the child into a prostitute for the nations, and once it was corrupted beyond repair, the step-parent planned the obliteration of the child once and for all. For the step parent was sure that this would be the final blow in destroying the child's biological father.
During this time, the father, sensing the danger, hid the younger brother so that the step-parent could not destroy both of his children. It wasn't until the younger brother was no longer able to stand with the older that the arbitrator ruled in favor of the step-parent. The arbitrator spoke very favorably on behalf of the step parent and claimed once again for all to hear that the biological father had proven himself to be an unfit parent. Then, the arbitrator discussed a plan that was music to the ears of the world, and even, for a time, to the child. The plan was confusing. It was a sales pitch rather than a ruling, and when the world heard this pitch, they knew that they were free to prostitute this child and reap the reward of his incredible beauty.
And the child tried to protect himself while the world came against him in one voice. They proclaimed from the mountains that the child was a brat because he went to great links to protect himself. Only a very few saw the injustice that was being committed against the father and the son, but they were helpless in aiding the boy. And the child became desperate and afraid. And when the child's fear reached the place where the father was listening, the father came running. On that day, the father had the birth certificate of the child in his hand. The father had documents proving the corruption that had guided the decision of the arbitrator and the courts. And the father had the younger brother with him and an army at his side. And he passed judgment on all of those who sought to prostitute and destroy his oldest son. And in his judgement, he destroyed those who had tried to destroy what was rightfully his. And when he had returned his oldest son to his house, he called forward the step-parent who had worked through deceit and had tried to destroy the father's whole house. And he condemned the step parent.
And after the judgment was passed, he gave his oldest son fine clothes and a new house and he built a wall of protection around it that could not be bypassed. And he moved his younger son in with his older son and the three ruled the kingdom together with justice and with love.
And I was moved as I saw the incredible love of this family. I was grieved for the oldest son for so long, and I was grieved for the father as he watched his own name defamed and his son destroyed. And I rejoiced as I saw the vindication of the family who were full of innocence and love. And I despised the step parent, the arbitrator, and those who had used the child as a prostitute. And I knew that it was my place to stand on behalf of this family.

Without adequate government protections you will end up with this kind of environment. from the New York Times: Nearly 14,000 Companies in China Violate Pollution Rules By EDWARD WONG "Environmental inspectors in northern China have found that nearly 14,000 companies, or 70 percent of the businesses…

Dumping Concrete: a law of capitalism In action – a local example
Every company seeks to get someone else to pay for as many of its costs of doing business as possible. The laws of capitalism require this. If all of Stickles' competitors are similarly avoiding the costs of disposing of their waste concrete they must do likewise. Otherwise their cost of doing business would be higher. In the short term their profits will be lower. In the longer term they will be forced out of business because they will have to charge higher prices. This is so regardless of the moral values or sense of community of the owners of F.H.Stickles. This how capitalism works.

BEHEMOTH (BEI XI MO SHOU) at TSL Hudson
This 2015 movie by Chinese director Liang Zhao is filled with great cinematography and sounds. It trades back and forth between scenes of enormous horizon gulping coal mines, under ground mines, iron making, and ends with scenes of a ghost city filled with enormous apartment blocks in a newly developed but vacant city West of…

Cosmonaut Coming To Xbox One!
You may remember that last year independent developer Ground Control Studios announced a first-person space simulator with Kinect 2 and VR support for PC called Cosmonaut. Well, now I'm happy to report that Cosmonaut has been approved by ID@Xbox and is coming to Xbox One as well! The Xbox One version will have not only optional full Kinect 2 support but it will also support Xbox SmartGlass in some way. (No VR though, unless maybe if Microsoft announces a VR device for Xbox One before the game is finished.) They're also hoping to make a Microsoft HoloLens version.
You can watch an old teaser above and read more info from the PC version's Steam Greenlight page below, plus catch a very brief glimpse of the PC version of Cosmonaut in an overview video of Microsoft's Game Dev Camp 2015 which was held in Portugal last weekend. We should have more Cosmonaut news soon so stay tuned!
COSMONAUT is a highly immersive First-Person Space Simulator. It combines a non-linear narrative, realistic graphics and highly detailed simulation to produce a thrilling experience.
COSMONAUT is a game about survival, exploration and cunning. Everything around you can kill you, the suit can get torn from shrapnel, your visor can break from impacts. Your fuel, oxigen and suit power are limited, so you must find ways to replenish them. On the other hand, most things around you are usable, so you must explore the environment to find tools, supplies and clues to unravel the plot.
Current feature set:
- Explorable environment outside and inside a space station (matches 1/6 of the space compound for the game)
- Use of tools to interact with the world (hammer to break things, blowtorch to cut through)
- Replenish of supplies can be done from O2 tanks, Fuel tanks and batteries or from the EMU chairs of fallen comrades.
- Death Conditions: impacts on visor, lack of O2.
- Handicaps: lack of fuel will leave you stranded, lack of power will disable your navigation and illumination systems. O2 reduction will start to blur out your vision.
- NPCs
- Non-linear story engine implemented
- Oculus Rift support: we currently support Oculus DK2
- Microsoft Kinect support: we currently support Kinect v2.
The game is currently under heavy development and will be released as an early access game, since we need some resources to fund the rest of the project.
Our plan is as follows:
- Main plot line consists of 15 acts, all of them non-linear and interconnected.
- We will first release what we are currently working on: gameplay testing environment with all the assets and features for the final game.
- Then we will start releasing the various acts.
- Early access players will get to have a say on features, plot and some other aspects. So all of you can be a part of this game!
- The acts can be tweaked and tuned during early access.
- We can add more acts to the story and even different arcs, it will depend on the feedback from players.
Game Dev Camp 2015 Event Overview

According to Wikipedia, On October 10, 2009, Poe received a "do-over" funeral where "actors portraying Poe's contemporaries and other long-dead writers and artists [paid] their respects, reading eulogies adapted from their writings about Poe". The funeral included a replica of Poe's casket and wax cadaver.

In this episode, I will discuss whether America is becoming a one-party state. With a Congress dominated by one party, there is little or no representation for the vast number of people who did not vote for that party. It is a situation that threatens to undermine democracy itself and send us hurtling into the political abyss.

For hyperkeratotic skin diseases, which is more better for sensitive skin - lactic acid lotion (lac-hydrin) or urea-based creams?
Both used: It really depends on the percentages of each medication. Many preparations have both urea and Lactic Acid in them.

Possibly.: These products may not be regulated by the U.S., so one might not be sure what is in them. They might have chemicals that are carcinogens in them, or they might have chemicals that can contribute to skin cancer. If they are supposed to protect against the sun, they might not do it, and cause cancer that way. It might be wise to use caution, and get a consumer review if possible prior to use. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Are objects placed on skin (spoons, metals, plastic, etc.) that stick to skin (chest and forehead) normal, common, or rare? Is it a skin condition?
Objects and skin: If someone is able to stick objects to skin and is able to keep them suspended there, this would certainly not be considered to be within the realm of the norm. I have heard of such cases but I would think they would be discovered only within the realm of "Ripleys Believe It or Not" or Circuses, and I would imagine the reason for this phenomenon, is unknown. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

Both!: Acute sunburn causes more skin damage, and may increase risk of melanoma somewhat more than long-tern sun exposure, which still causes wrinkles, spots, and skin cancers as well.

Supersonic timetable up
there are some horrible clashes on saturday - looks like it's going to be a choice between seeing Zu and Monotonix or Thorr's Hammer and Corrupted. Unless the sets have large-ish gaps between them - Thorr's Hammer only have about 30 minutes of recorded material, so I'm pretty sure they won't be filling the whole gao betwen 10:45 and 12:15. Still going to be a pain though. Does anybody know how easy it is to move between the stages?
I'm going to have to decide whether to see Scorn or the Sunn O))) Grimmrobe show again on friday, though I like the lack of a Sunn/ V-snares clash.
thanks for posting this.
I've never been before so have no idea how easy it is to move around... well looking forward to it though.
Moving around is easy, everything in very compact
Factory club and the outdoor stage are literally next to each other (one's indoors, the other in the marquee right bang outside it about 20ft away). The Space2 stage is a 2 min walk round the corner to another building.
Only thing to watch is in the past it's been tricky to get back into the main stage from Space2 later in the night on Saturday - you might need to queue for ages as they've stopped people coming in when it's too crowded so it's one in/one out.
It seems that it might be pretty easy to get from Thorr's Hammer to Zu, but much harder to get from Zu to Corrupted. hmm...
Other way round...
it can be tricky going from Space 2 to the main stage but the other way isn't normally a problem so Zu to Corrupted should be easy but getting in for Zu could be trickier.
ahh, ok
so the outside stage is the main one. That might work out ok, if Thorr's Hammer play a relatively short set, but it's going to be tricky to see everything I want to. I might have to cut my losses and hope some of the bands tour later in the year.
Moving around is easy
On the friday, you will be able to step out of the factory club and be able to see whoever is on the outside stage straight away. On saturday/sunday, it's a couple of minutes walk to space 2 as long as it's not majorly crowded.
to get into the Factory club a couple of minutes early if there's someone you want to see. It's tiny (probably about 150 capacity) and soon fills up, but is usually empty 5-10 minutes before a band starts.
Couple of clashes on Saturday but Sunday looks ideal for me, although I'm sure there were 3 stages last year on the Sunday?
It was just the two stages on the Sunday last year
and the theatre
Growing vs Corrupted
Sunn vs scorn would have been a difficult one but at least I've seen sunn about 6 times
so Scorn defo. and corrupted...that's it
Can anyone point me in the direction
of places I can listen to Corrupted online?
It seems to be a policy of theirs not to put anything up coz I can't find shit anywhere?!
Remember Remember!
Remember to check out Remember Remember!
Looks like PRE have dropped out
Anyone know why? Was really looking forward to their set.
Anybody looking for a hotel- buddy for this?
Haven't bought my ticket yet as I don't know anyone else staying for the weekend, but very tempted to go if I can split the cost of a room at e-tap with people.
very few wknd tkts left
hang on..weekend tickets DOES INCLUDE THE FIRDAY DOESN'T IT?
why have you booked a room for a day ticket?

The work bench is where you will find my works in progress. I'll be putting both still images and videos on this page, so please keep checking back, to see what is going on!
'Chaos' Machine
Animation is complete for this machine and I have started experimenting with basic textures. The intention is to use Bodypaint 3D to take this to a more advanced level.
This is one of five contraptions which will ultimately be used in the music video, for a song (yet to be written!), the central theme of which will be:
From Chaos Comes Order.
All will become clear as the project develops...
'From' Machine
Another part of my music video project, for which animation is complete. Some (very minor) experimentation with textures, here.
The sky is currently at the test stage and I will probably come up with something more psychedelic/surreal, which will be more in keeping with the piece.
This particular machine is probably the most complex I have come up with to date, in terms of Xpresso. Very rewarding to see this working as planned!

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has stated in clear terms his desire to keep England international Theo Walcott at the Emirates Stadium despite interest from Southampton, notwithstanding hardly playing the forward.
According to reports, Southampton have made known their interest in signing the former Saints starlet recently, and were hoping to secure a loan move in the January window.
However, despite French tactician hardly choosing the winger to play this campaign, the former Monaco boss has said that he'd love to keep the Arsenal forward. Wenger disclosed;
I [Arsene Wenger] want him [Theo Walcott] to stay. I [Arsene Wenger} heard about [the Southampton speculations], but personally I [Arsene Wenger] want him [Walcott] to stay.
The contract situation of Alexis Sanchez doesn't help either, with the North London outfit wanting to settle the former Barcelone star's future before deciding on Theo Walcott.
Meanwhile, Southampton are in need of serious attacking reinforcements, having struggled recently.
The side have enough money to splash around after offloading Virgil van Dijk to Merseyside club Liverpool for £75m, and are set to reinvest the fund to ensure their English Premier League status is intact.
The Arsenal forward would bring to the party much required quality and top-class experience to the Saint's attack, including being a homecoming for the now 28-year old attacker.

Johnny Knoxville's raunchy comedy Bad Grandpa has ended Gravity's three-week run at the top of the US box office reports BBC. Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, about an 86-year-old and his eight-year-old grandson, opened with $32m (£19.7m). Gravity, which starrs Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, as astronauts adrift in space took $20.3m (£12.5m) It was followed by Tom Hanks' hostage drama Captain Phillips which earned $11.8m (£7.2m). Ridley Scott's star-studded The Counsellor came fourth.
Starring Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt, The Counsellor is about a greedy lawyer who turns to drug trafficking.
Written by No Country for Old Men author Cormac McCarthy, it brought in $8m (£5m) over the weekend – one of the worst openings on record for a Ridley Scott film.
The weekend's fifth place finisher, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2, earned $6.1m (£3.8m) – bringing its total takings to $100.6m (£62.2m).

|Strawberry buttercream cake that looks suspiciously like a slice of pepperoni sub in this shot
Since Josh and I were the only two "lovers," so to speak, in the class, we felt silly running off to have our own little romantic evening while the other girls sat home alone watching Grey's Anatomy reruns. Therefore, viva la fiesta! We ate goodies, talked about our vacation plans, and attempted to play cards . . . but Kristen left early with the only sufficient knowledge of card-playing that we had between the six of us.
It was awkward, it was awesome, and a lovely time was had by all <3
|Smooth like strawberry buttercream ;-)
- Unsalted popcorn . . . or rather, salting the unsalted popcorn for myself and creating an acrid mixture of crunchy crystalline chemicals masquerading as a party snack. I did better on take 2.
- Washing my skinny jeans (which were somehow eluded by laundry day) by hand . . . while I was in the shower . . .
- Broken sink, so I guess I'll also be brushing my teeth in the shower.
- Having Bre and Allie over for dinner and Carmen forgetting to feed them! Talk about a misunderstanding.
- Bre once again managing to stay out of every single picture I took at the above get-together.
- Finally making a hike to the mall at El Bulevar and finding out 2 euros later that it is closed on Sundays.
- Carnival. Funny costumes and good music, but it was so random and unorganized! We had no idea what was going on.
- The waiter at carnival who didn't seem to want us to get up from our table. Ever.
- The Gregorian chants floating up to my room as I type this. Apparently a local church is burning a giant paper sardine to represent the death of the flesh as lent begins.
- Popcorn (not the sinfully salty batch) covered in chocolate and cherry liqueur. Only the best for our Valentine's Day bash.
- Apparently sheep in Spain say "Meh" instead of "Baa." Haha, perpetually indifferent sheep.
- The little boy breaking it down onstage to a Rihanna song at Carnival. I have a video! Coming soon ;-)
- Gofres. Deep-fried waffles with ice cream and flavored syrup. Yes, please.
- Cathedrals. They never cease to amaze. They also do a good job of helping us decide which cities to visit. "Do they have a cathedral?" "No? Eh, let's skip it."
- Spanish bagpipes. Think Celtic times Africa and then divide by amazing.
- Finding a little craft store in Avila Centro! I'm going to buy some yarn and start some projects.
- Mastering the complicated bus system here in Spain. I once was blind, but now I see!
- OMG OMG OMG OMG We're going to Milan tonight!!! I am so blessed :-D

Phelan Burgoyne Trio, Quiet Unquiet (Pumpkin Records) Drummer Burgoyne's trio may seem now and then to be floating toward somnolence, but the tidal urgencies and complexities of his drumming are unlikely to encourage napping. The ingenuity and intellectual rigor of guitarist Rob Luft and alto saxophonist Martin Speake are equally responsible for keeping the listener's attention. Burgoyne and Luft were Speake's students at London's Royal Academy of Music. Now the professor is a sideman in his … [Read more...]

Ella Fitzgerald At 100
Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996) would have turned 100 years old today. She often affected audiences the way she was affecting Dizzy Gillespie when Bill Gottlieb took this celebrated photo. It is impossible to find the perfect performance by which to remember Ella, there were so many. Let's settle (ha) for this one. She played well with others. Ms. Fitzgerald and I first met, more or less, when Norman Granz invited me backstage during intermission at a Jazz At The Philharmonic concert … [Read more...]
Monday Recommendation: Krukowski, The New Analog
Book: Damon Krukowski, The New Analog (The New Press) The introduction of the compact disc in 1982 made analog sound delivered by phonograph records and landline telephones obsolete—didn't it? If not, then the advent of iTunes in 2001 and the iPhone in 2007 replaced analog forever—didn't they? Damon Krukowski makes a persuasive case to the contrary, that analog is a natural part of us, and necessary to cultural health. A musician (Galaxie 500, Damon & Naomi) and audio researcher, he … [Read more...]
Magnolia And "Footprints"
This spring, the magnolia tree at the edge of the yard is in full bloom. I was determined to show you an image of just one of its magnificent blossoms. Then the challenge—this being primarily a jazz blog—became finding a piece of music that would be a suitable companion, something to listen to as we enjoy the blossom. After searching through the record collection, then online, I concluded that the rock and roll and warmed-over Dixieland I found would not do. Then, up popped a duo called, of all … [Read more...]
Recent Listening: Cuong Vu Plays Michael Gibbs
Cuong Vu 4TET, Ballet (Rare Noise) Trumpeter Vu and three fellow Seattle adventurers explore pieces by Michael Gibbs. It was guitarist Bill Frisell's idea to bring the British composer to the University of Washington last year for concerts of his orchestral music as well as sets by Vu's quartet with Frisell, bassist Luke Bergman and drummer Ted Poor. In a news release, Vu is quoted as saying that their aim was, "…our individual aesthetics coming together and trying to find a common … [Read more...]
Miles, Cleanhead, Sonny And "Four"
"Four" is one of the best-known jazz tunes attributed to Miles Davis. He may actually have written it, although a substantial number of musicians maintain that the composer was the alto saxophonist and blues singer Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson. It is all but certain that Vinson also wrote "Tune Up," another modern jazz standard for which Davis took credit. Regardless of authorship, "Four" quickly became a jazz standard following its first recording by Davis on his 1954 Prestige album Blue Haze. … [Read more...]
Monday Recommendation: Mosaic's Savoy Bebop Treasury
Classic Savoy BeBop Sessions 1945-49 Just a quick run-through of the names involved in this ten- CD set might be enough to whet the curiosity of the uninitiated and the appetites of devotees of the music that changed jazz in the 1940s.

Weekend Extra: Bud Freeman With Art Hodes
Coleman Hawkins made the tenor saxophone a jazz instrument. Bud Freeman (1906-1991), two years younger than Hawkins, followed as another of the horn's early masters. Freeman (pictured) started on C-melody saxophone and was a member of Chicago's Austin High Gang, which also included Frank Teschemacher, Dave Tough and Jimmy McPartland. After he switched to tenor sax in the mid-1920s he went on to play with Ben Pollack, Red Nichols, Ray Noble, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman and Eddie Condon, among … [Read more...]
Correspondence: About A New Jazz Club
Rifftides reader Arthur Hill writes from somewhere in Oregon: Yes, Virginia—there is a jazz club in Salem, Oregon, called Christo's, a restaurant and lounge. They recently announced that with the closure of Jimmy Mak's in Portland, "We have been asked to host, for a continual run of second Saturdays, the Mel Brown Septet." The next engagement in the run will be on May 13th at 8:30 pm. Unless they have knocked down some walls, it is a small space (maybe about 44 can be shoe-horned in), so … [Read more...]
Lines For Mulligan, With Video
The press of Art Pepper business distracted Rifftides from noting that yesterday was the birthday of Gerry Mulligan. He would have been 90. On the occasion, Franca Mulligan sent news about an event in her husband's honor that is sponsored by their foundation as a means of aiding young musicians. For information, go here. For a reminder of how well Mulligan played as he approached the end of his life and how much fun he had doing it, here he is in 1991 with Bill Mays, piano; Dean Johnson, … [Read more...]
