Rowdy house and techno by way of small-town Scotland: Andrew Ryce meets the young Turbo-signed duo known as Clouds.
Despite their age, Clouds already have an enviably strong track record. Gaining more attention with each release since their first outing, on Blood Music in 2010, they have made a name for themselves with an uncompromising outlook on dance music. Over several EPs for Turbo, they've developed a savage sound that's moved towards techno with a distinctly destructive attitude. Now they're about to release their first album, the excellent Ghost Systems Rave, a record which sees them bash their way through the history of hard-edged dance music.
Clouds are from Perth. Not the Australian city, but a town in Scotland that's home to about 44,000 people. "There wasn't ever much going on," says MacLeod. He's since moved to Dundee, Scotland's fourth largest city. Robertson remains in the sleepy riverside town. Despite living in such a "sheltered" place, as they call it, they haven't really missed much since they started releasing their snarling techno a few years ago. They've been producing since before they were old enough to go out anyways.
The two have been making music since they were teenagers. "My dad was into house music," says MacLeod. "Every time I would go and see him he would be playing a lot of jazzy house stuff. I didn't like it when I was younger. I didn't understand it. I was always freaked out by house. There was a lot of talking and other stuff in it."
His proper introduction to dance music was Daft Punk's Discovery. The pair got into the landmark 2001 record a few years after its release, when they were in their mid-teens. "'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' was just like nothing I had ever heard. I was into trance music when I was younger, ATB and stuff like that, but that was the only dance music. [This] was really unique to me," says MacLeod. "I didn't appreciate it... back then, I just thought, well, that's a robot talking," Robertson deadpans. "We were just really young."
Their dance music journey also led them into the burly arms of hardstyle. They and their friends would sit around, "take a song, and then get about 30 or 40 acapellas and just throw them all in [one hardstyle track]," Macleod explains. From there they became obsessed with Justice and their Ed Banger cohorts before heading down the techno path they're currently negotiating. They're not big fans of hardstyle anymore; they still see its appeal, but it was a culture they experienced entirely in absentia. "I think even if we had been able to go to a hardstyle party, and see how it all went, then we would have snapped out of it," says Robertson.
Their first encounter with dance music outside the home was not at a nightclub, but a festival—specifically, the Slam Tent at T in the Park. The sights and sounds stole their hearts, and soon they found electro house, later delving into what they themselves call "underground" techno. The duo's love of electro house and big room techno informed the scrappy, barbed-wire dance music they were producing, which they found a home for on Tiga's Turbo Recordings.
In line with Turbo's own aesthetic at the time, their early music, like the Numbers EP, was so aggressive it was almost humourous. "There was melody on those tracks, but horrible melodies. I think, now, they're kind of trancey," says MacLeod. "I think with every release we were influenced by more and more artists. When we made our first music, we were only listening to, like, Jack Beats or something. Now we've taken influences from other artists we've discovered along the way. I remember one of the first techno tracks we started playing was Len Faki's remix of "Stranger To Stability" by Dustin Zahn. It's like stadium techno."
Starting out, Clouds were professional amateurs. They didn't have a studio. They still don't have monitors and record their club-destroying tracks purely on headphones. Robertson has a MIDI controller that "collects dust and doesn't do anything." "In terms of hardware and stuff, there's nothing," he says. "It's the same as when we started, but [now] Ableton instead of Fruity Loops—and better headphones."
Their spot on Turbo's 2012 compilation New Jack Techno gave them a new alignment—something more purely techno, a take on the genre that was more about industrial crunch than electro thrash. Their track "Gang 49" was easily the noisiest on that record, figuring them as the proverbial brats amongst the label's promising roster of newcomers. The work that followed, especially Tannhauser Acid Works, only sharpened their attack. Their transition mirrored Turbo's own, moving into harder, less electro- affiliated music. "I think they've actually been following us into it," MacLeod says. "It's hard to say why we've gone techno. We like it, but I don't know what made us do it."
With Turbo as a comfortable home base, an album seemed like the logical next step. Like most dance music artists, the duo felt it necessary to approach their LP differently than the floor-focused EP releases. The biggest change? "Well, we made it together—like, totally together," says MacLeod. "All of our EPs, we start them separately, because we don't live together, and don't have a studio. One of us would do most of the track, send it over, get some feedback, and then just finish it. 70% of the track we do alone, and the other 30% is collaboration." To aid the writing process, Turbo rented them a studio space deep in a converted barn in the Scottish countryside.
Their environment might have been nicer than they were expecting, but it didn't seem to effect the album's mood. Ghost Systems Rave is every bit as harsh and unforgiving as their earlier work, but with a much wider and more mature outlook on techno. On tracks like "Future 1" they appropriate the spooky stabs of early rave music, and elsewhere they carefully tune their sound into lean, efficient bangers.
"We didn't really have an artistic concept behind Ghost Systems Rave," says Robertson. "We figured we'd just give ourselves two weeks in our barn and release what we came up with." The record sounds like it was recorded in a spirited blitz, blasting through ideas in just three or four minutes per track. Recording the album in the barn with a limited time span lent it an urgency that writing EPs from home just didn't have. That, and "people have short attention spans," according to MacLeod. Though some of its moments feel more like sketches than fleshed-out songs, the album has a liquid flow that your average techno record lacks.
Similarities could be drawn with fellow UK acts like Blawan and Truss, but Cloud's music shares less with modern industrial techno than it does with the IDM acts like Aphex Twin that MacLeod says they cherish. Working with bewitching synth melodies, murmuring voices and sneaky sound effects, Ghost Systems Rave is detail-oriented music in spite of its crunch. They're obsessed with technology, and their music concerns itself with machine voices and what sounds like robots. "All that robotics stuff, I think that's due to the Warp influence... also, we aren't very musical," says MacLeod bluntly. "We can't play guitar on tracks, or play the piano... we try to make it more interesting with strange sounds and textures."
Though their profile has risen quickly, Clouds are still based in small-town Scotland. Perth doesn't have a large club scene (though they have managed to played a gig there), the closest record shop is 90 minutes away in Glasgow, and traveling for DJ bookings is frustrating: they have to take several trains and a bus to reach the airport. Gigging more frequently and starting to appear at festivals (including the Slam Tent), they've begun working on a live set, citing Animal Collective as an inspiration. And apparently some of the bigger clubs in the world have grow more interested in what they're doing.
But even as the techno world begins to embrace them, Clouds seem to keep themselves at a slight distance. They're quick to note their remove from what they call "techno snobs." In a 2011 interview they remarked about how they weren't making "serious music," a tricky word that they dance around a lot. They treat their music seriously, sure, but they're not certain their audience does. "You've made this piece, you've put all your heart into it, and it's basically getting played to these people that are just fucked and don't care," says MacLeod. "They just want to dance. They don't care that you sampled 2001: A Space Odyssey, and that you put the vocals in and did all these cool things. I don't know if that's because of our experiences with clubs in Glasgow and Edinburgh, but it's hard to take something like that seriously." Robertson interrupts his train of thought. "But it is extremely serious. We're trying to make it our job."

Orange County Housing Market Summer 2011
Everybody is taking for granted that these current historically low level interest rates will last forever… they absolutely will NOT.
Interest Rates: we will not see interest rates like these every again during our lifetimes.
Remember the days when gas prices were below $1.50 per gallon? That was just nine years ago. At this point we would settle for paying $3.00 per gallon. Longing for those days will not make them come back. In fact, I don't think we will ever see gas prices below $2.00 ever again, and most likely have seen the last of prices below $3.00 as well. Many buyers are going to be kicking themselves for not taking advantage of today's incredible interest rate atmosphere. As a society, we unfortunately shop for homes strictly by price. Sure, buyers and homeowners want to take advantage of today's interest rates, but I will bet good money that everybody has forgotten the day when we rejoiced at interest rates that dropped below 8% a decade ago. Very few people believe interest rates could increase dramatically. Yet, interest rates are poised to increase, they HAVE to. The United States government has dumped tons of money into the economy over the past several years in hopes to jump start activity. When the economy is flooded with money, inflation eventually rears its unwelcome head. When that happens, and it will, interest rates will jump. So, why am I making such a big deal about interest rates? I am making a big deal because as interest rates rise, affordability drops just as swiftly. This chart helps illustrate the impact of an increase in interest rates. For a $500,000 loan, as interest rates bump up from 4.5% to 6.5%, an inevitable reality down the road, affordability drops by $100,000. If rates increased to 8%, year 2000 levels, the monthly payment for a $400,000 loan increases to $2,935. For a $1 million loan, affordability drops by $200,000 with a 2% increase in interest rates. Since these payments are not going to hold at these historically low levels, for buyers that are waiting for prices to fall further, they risk being able to afford and qualify for a much smaller purchase price. It is time to shop for homes based upon today's incredible low payments. We all shop for cars based upon the monthly payment, often negotiating to drop the monthly payment by $20. As mortgage rates increase, monthly payments go up by hundreds of dollars. We are worried about saving $20 per month for a car with, it's time that we start worrying about saving hundreds of dollars and cashing in on today's "once in a lifetime" historically low mortgage rates. If a buyer plans on holding onto a home for many years, a wise way to approach real estate today, the total savings over time with a lower monthly payment will be staggering.
Housing Demand: Demand dropped slightly over the past couple of weeks.
Demand, the number of new pending sales over the past month, decreased by 40homes in the past two weeks and now totals 3,060 pending sales. Last year at this time demand was almost at the same level with 3,107pending sales. The discrepancy in year over year demand has vanished because last year at this time the first time home buyer credit had expired.
The Active Listing Inventory: There listing inventory grew slightly.
The inventory slightly increased by an additional 51 homes, almost unchanged, and now totals 11,388. Last year, the listing inventory was continuing to grow at an alarming pace. This time last year during the same two week period, the inventory grew by over 3% and totaled 10,462, just 962 fewer homes than today. The year over year gap has dramatically diminished, starting the year with 2,694 home spread and now totals less than a 1,000.
The Distressed Market: the active distressed inventory changed very little this year.
The distressed inventory now totals 3,810 and represents 33.5% of the active inventory. The expected market time for foreclosures is remains incredibly HOT at 1.57 months. There are currently only 670 foreclosures within the active listing inventory, an increase of only two homes in the past month. There are currently 3,140 short sales on the active market, increasing by one home in the past month. The expected market time is 2.83 months for short sales, also a seller's market.

King DriftwoodBy: Robert Minhinnick (author)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionThe poems in Welsh poet Robert Minhinnick's latest collection were written with a keen awareness of both climate change and the current situation in the Middle East. King Driftwood draws upon the poet's travels in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Argentina, and his 25 years in the environmental movement. Politically-charged poems such as "An Opera in Baghdad" and "An Isotope, Dreaming" address the political and environmental destruction wrought by the ongoing war in Iraq. Moving closer to home, poems such as "The Saint of Tusker Rock" and "The Castaway" are vivid evocations of the historical and modern communities of the Welsh coast, where the poet lives. They introduce us to a cast of memorable characters, from treasure-hunters to drug dealers, from ancient Celtic warriors to eccentrics from the local funfair. A sensitivity to the sonic structures of Welsh language poetry runs throughout the book, lending the poems their vigorous musicality and rhythmic energy.
About AuthorRobert Minhinnick was born in 1952 and lives in south Wales. He has been the winner of a Society of Authors Eric Gregory Award, and has twice won the Forward Prize for best individual poem, while his books of essays have twice won the Wales Book of the Year Prize.

Indoor air is far more polluted than outdoor air, and because we spend the majority of time indoors, improving our home's air quality is advantageous to our health, but where to start? CEO of the Eucatex Group says "consumers can start by controlling pollution sources."
Paints and carpet adhesives can leave behind gases from their harmful ingredients. Typically its found in older properties, yet new or newly renovated living spaces can also contain home building products that emit harmful gases. There are around 8,000 chemical compounds that have been classified for use in the interiors of buildings. This includes the so-called volatile organic compounds that can be hazardous to your health. Over time the level of harm dissipates but how long it takes depends mainly on their concentration. "Many volatile organic compounds can be eliminated simply by buying the right products," says Eucatex CEO, Flavio Maluf. Consumers are shocked to learn that some of the very products they've purchased for comfort, such as carpeting, can become a health risk. "Many components found in carpets, like flame retardants and formaldehyde slowly emit gases for many years, causing headaches, coughing, nausea, insomnia and even depression," adds Maluf straight from his Twitter.
The laws require the declaration of individual substances, only above a certain concentration. Only the "eco-seller" basically provides information on all ingredients and chemical compounds found in their materials. "Strictly speaking, consumers must become more informed about 'healthy' houses," says Flavio Maluf.
Creating A World of Change
A family business in ecological building, and a fascination with engineering led Flavio Maluf into this fast-growing career of sustainable home products. He soaked up everything he could in the field, majoring in mechanical engineering at San Paulo's FAAP, complimented by a year at famed New York University.
"Sustainability touches everyone, and we have the ability the make a change," says Maluf. He maintains that eco-green quality is essential. Flavio and the Eucatex Group has found a career sweet spot of eco products that include flooring, paint, and doors, wall partitions and hardboard. So what sets the Eucatex Group apart from all the other run-of-the-mill companies? "Eucatex products can help consumers retool for a recovery, and create a healthier environment, and we've accomplished this for nearly six decades," says Flavio Maluf from his Facebook

I must be in the last of the Young Adult book bloggers who had yet to read, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It has become a modern classic on the subject of suicide amongst teens. This novel has taken me through an emotional ride, exposing emotions I had no idea I had on the topic. It is a novel that stays with me.
First off, I think the premise of a person leaving behind tapes explaining why they committed suicide is both fascinating, and partially disturbing. But Jay Asher expertly executes this aspect of the story, raising it to the level of a page turning suspense novel. I found Hannah Baker both frustrating and profound. I loved the authority I sensed in her voice as she 'pulls the strings' in the lives of everyone on her list. At times, especially the beginning to middle of the novel, I wondered if her reasons for taking her life were valid, but this is where Jay Asher is a clever, clever guy. By the middle to end of this novel, I discovered that, perhaps, Asher wanted me to go there as a reader, only to bring me to the place of truth that no one can gauge valid reasons for someone else. What may come as no big deal to me, may effect someone devastatingly. Each person encompassing Hannah's 13 reasons felt very symbolic of those sides to human nature that we all should be wary of. They are lessons on how not to be lackadaisical with the people around us, and how our actions affect others. The middle to ending portions of the novel really affected me, as Hannah spirals downward.
The only portion of the novel that I wasn't as affected by was Clay's character. I sympathized with Clay on some levels, but I found him a bit like a caricature. Almost as if his character, could have been any of the people listed as reasons in this novel. I wanted to sympathize with him more. I also found myself challenged by Hannah's reasoning for having him on the tapes. Clay's story, however, is a wonderful example of how to be more proactive towards those around you, especially those who show warning signs of deeper issues.
Bare in Mind: Thirteen Reasons Why may be triggering for those who suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts. It also contains some adult content, profanity, and disturbing scenarios.
Thirteen Reasons Why thrilled, challenged, and rendered me speechless at times. It's a novel that, even after two weeks, I'm still thinking about, and wanting to reread to gain further insight. It makes me wonder how often it is that we never truly understand someone until it's too late. I'm sure that this novel will, and is changing the lives of both those who deal with these issues, and those who observe it in others.
I give Thirteen Reasons Why 4 out of 5 cups of Dr. Pepper.
P.S.- If you, or anyone you know is experiencing depression, or thoughts of suicide, please don't believe that no one cares. If you are willing, there are so many people out there who want to support you, love you, and spur you on. I know whatever you are going through feels like it can swallow your world, but I'm telling you that it gets better. And if you're going through bullying, I can totally assure you that you that it gets better. If you need to have a chat with someone, the folks at 1-800-SUICIDE (www.hopeline.com) would love to help you, and show you that there are so many people out there rooting for you!
Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV) - "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid nor terrified because of them , for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."
The above is the most real truth I know. God is, and if you let Him, He'll come in and give you a life you never thought you'd ever experience. I say this, not as someone seeking to force Jesus down your throat, but as someone who was bullied, and if it weren't for Him intervening in my life, bringing wonderful people into my life, giving me gifts, and most of all Himself, I have no idea where I would be. If you would like to chat more, please feel free to email me at noveldays {dot} com.

A Private investigator has been around since 1900's, with the job description to find out whether someone is doing a crime or perhaps doing fraud to someone else. For some, they decided not to have a private investigator during a case or an important situation, and usually, the reason is that a P.I can be quite expensive to hire, but hopefully after reading this article you're going to think again. In this article we have listed several risks of not having a private investigator, make sure to read this article to find out more about it.
Romance scam
Nowadays there are a lot of dating apps such as Tinder, OkCupid and many more, and setting up a profile is easy. Some people think that it is no big problem to give out details or information on dating apps when in reality it could be a scammer or a case of catfish, where they try to dig every personal information out of you. The worst that could happen is in case they got private pictures of you, and they share it on the Internet, which is apparently something you don't want. Consider checking out cuttyinvestigations.com as they offer private investigation services.
Investment Scam
Many people in business offer an investment, where they claim the money that you invest will return to you in double or even triple. Although what you see is what you get, that might not be the case when it comes to business. Make sure to hire a P.I as they can do investigations and making sure to deliver evidence to you regarding whether you're doing the right company with the right person or not.
Tip: to make the investigation goes smoothly make sure to provide any information or documents that the investigator ask you to fill.
Affair scam
Like any other normal people, there's a chance you're married or engaged to someone else, and sometimes you can't help but to wonder if your significant other is cheating on you or not. Hiring a P. I might give you a result based on the facts and information that you provide. And to make things even better they use logic and non-biased judgment, which will make the truth unveil even easier.
Child custody
In some cases of divorce, you might be thinking on how to win the custody of your child, hiring a P.I might be the solution as they investigate and perhaps find some facts about your ex-spouse that might help you win the case. Facts might include drug usage, abuse, criminal records and many more.

A Secret Weapon For Empire Today ReviewsThe emperor's actual legal energy derived from holding the office of "consul", but he was typically honored While using the titles of imperator (commander) and princeps (first man or, Main). Later on, these terms arrived to acquire lawful significance in their own personal correct; an army calling their normal "imperator" was a direct problem to your authority of the current emperor.[14]
Specialist on warfare Quincy Wright generalized on what he termed "common empire"—empire unifying all of the up to date technique:
This device won't have a direct ignition module. This fireplace features a millivolt gas valve, and needs a standing pilot to work.
This Energetic rejection of imperialist position isn't restricted to significant-position govt officers, as it has been engrained in American Culture through its entire historical past. As David Ludden describes, "journalists, scholars, instructors, students, analysts, and politicians choose to depict the U.S. like a nation pursuing its personal passions and beliefs."[36] This often results in imperialist endeavors getting introduced as actions taken to reinforce countrywide safety. Ludden points out this phenomena Together with the notion of "ideological blinders", which he states avert American citizens from knowing the correct nature of The us's existing methods and approaches. These "ideological blinders" that people dress in have resulted in an "invisible" American empire of which most American citizens are unaware.[36]
The fireplace I purchased was exactly as pictured and explained. Ahead of ordering I had some typical thoughts as well as their associate was pretty beneficial and well educated in regards to the items.
I used to be pretty hesitant to acquire a fireplace on the web, but soon after heading all over town, eFireplaceStore presented the top offer at any time.
This is the good fireplace for the price. I didn't have a blower or auto-ignition or remote. I will likely be purchasing the distant and desire I had put the wall switch in and bought the Digital ignition product.

With all the elements you require for an effective venting technique, this fireplace vent package is well definitely worth the expenditure.

New Maximus III Extreme gets pixellized
by Slobodan Simic on17 November 2009
- font size decrease font size increase font size
The P55 based one
The guys from NordicHardware.com managed to score some pictures of yet another Asus Republic of Gamers motherboard, the Maximus III Extreme. This one is based on Intel's P55 chipset and bunch of goodies that can be found exclusively on ROG labled motherboards.
The motherboard features support for LGA 1156 processors and has a 11-phase digital PWM. The rest of the features include five PCI-Express x16 slots, provided probably by few PCI-Express bridge chips located below the heatsink, four DDR3 slots, two SATA 6.0Gbps and seven SATA 3.0Gbps ports, two USB 3.0 ports, single eSATA port, Gigabit Ethernet and integrated audio, which surprised us as Asus usually uses dedicated card on its high-end motherboards.
The one feature that caught our eye, and which should certainly be welcomed by overclockers is the LN2 Mode jumper which enhances performance when this motherboard is paired up with LN2 for cooling. It also has on board Power, Reset and Clear CMOS buttons as well as the support for Bluetooth overclocking via mobile phone, something that we have yet to see.
The exact price and the availability date haven't been disclosed but we guess that you can expect a high price tag, as after all, this is a Republic of Gamers motherboard. You can check out more here.

UPDATE: Hospital sorry for handling girl with disability
A Philadelphia hospital is apologizing for how it handled the case of a 3-year-old who was reportedly denied a transplant because she has an intellectual disability. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia issued a statement Wednesday along with Joe and Chrissy Rivera, a New Jersey couple who went public last month saying they were told that their daughter could not receive a life-saving kidney transplant because of her disability.

Study finds many adults with disabilities lack daily activities
Many adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities lack a schedule of daily activities, according to a new study published in the American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Researchers from Vanderbilt University found that those without routine activities often were those with more emotional, behavioral and health difficulties, and often were underserved by the community or had parents who were unable to provide adequate care.

Researchers with What Works Clearinghouse said results were inconclusive in a review of 166 studies of an intervention program sometimes used to help reduce aggression and teach social skills to students with disabilities.

Over the years I've dropped hint after unsubtle hint to the Conservative Party of Canada – which during its seven-year (and counting) reign in Parliament has gutted my country's record of political progressivism – that I don't like them.
— that their candidates cannot "count on my support";
— that they are practically the polar opposite of all my political values.
Yet, somehow I've wound up on the email list for their core supporters – the one where they propagandize their base and show the side of their face they usually try to cover with heavy makeup when communicating to the general Canadian public.
It's kind of breathtaking to be candidly chatted up by the party in power like you're a flag-waving supporter of Stephen Harper (the party's leader and Canada's Prime Minister), a hater both of liberals and the Liberal Party – and the kind of person who would cheer the Conservative government's latest initiative to crack down harder than ever on child abusers while it continues to indirectly cheer on the massive child abuse perpetrated by carbon polluters.
So here is the latest of these emails which – this time – has prompted me to blow my cover with a most unsubtly derisive reply:
Our government is cracking down with tougher penalties on predators who sexually abuse and exploit children – but Justin Trudeau's Liberals are threatening to stand in our way.
These are heinous crimes and they must be dealt with. We must deal with them to protect our children.
That's why we'll be increasing penalties for criminals who commit sexual acts against children.
Unsurprisingly, Justin Trudeau and his Liberals have already said they oppose tougher mandatory prison sentences for child predators.
Trudeau's lead soft-on-crime spokesman MP Sean Casey says the Liberals oppose tougher mandatory prison sentences for sexual predators who prey on children because he's worried about overcrowding in our jails.
We have a very different view – criminals who prey on our children should be locked up in prison, not free to roam around our communities.
That's why we're going to pass the most comprehensive legislation to fight child sexual predators that Canada has ever seen – with or without Justin Trudeau.
Learn more about how we're cracking down on child predators – and let us know if you're on our side:
Fred DeLorey
Director, Political Operations
Conservative Party of Canada
Hi Fred,
It's nice to know you plan to crack down on predators who sexually abuse and exploit children. I bet Justin Trudeau and the other bleeding heart Liberals like child predators. The NDP, the PQ and the Greens probably sleep with them, if they aren't child predators themselves.
But there's another kind of child predator your government seems intent on protecting - yes, Fred, protecting: greenhouse gas emissions, the cause of global warming in our overpopulated, highly industrialized world and of the deadly and damaging effects this unprecedentedly sudden warming is having on our climate and weather.
Over the years, the Harper Government has led the world in obstructing progress at home and internationally in cracking down hard on these chemicals and those who spew them irresponsibly into the atmosphere. Already this is causing death, disease, injury and damage to the homes and communities of millions of children around the world devastated by extreme weather events linked to climate change. According to the world's scientific community, the children of today will be victimized even more - much more - if they grow up in a world where governments like yours continue to coddle carbon polluters.
So, all things considered, I regard your government as a much greater threat to the welfare of children than all the pedophiles in Canada. It's time you also started cracking down on the most dangerous child abusers.

Yes, I know, my last post was soup too. Well, I've been on a soup-creating marathon and this is just the beginning. There's nothing like a bowl of tasty, warm soup on a cool day. Celery root soup is one I always liked cooked so I had to come up with a raw version and voilà, here it is. It couldn't have come out better...
Health Benefits of Celery
The list is quite long so you will thank yourself for using it. Celery is at least as good for you as it is aromatic and flavorful. The root is more commonly used in European countries but it's available at grocery stores in the U.S. too, and through all seasons. It is very high in fiber and happens to be a great weight-loss food due to its low calorie content. It's full of antioxidants, high in vitamin C, and K, and calcium, which boils down to its abilities to boost your immune system, to help prevent cancer, and to strengthen your bones. Its anti-inflammatory qualities provide relief from joint pain so they are a very good vegetable to snack on if you have arthritis. It can help diminish migraines and calm your nerves ....and the list goes on. It's a good idea to make friends with this crunchy vegetable if you haven't yet done so.
Raw Creamy Celery Root Soup
Approximate Ingredients:
(Makes 1 good size bowl)
1 small carrot
1/2 celery root
2 green onions
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp (or more) tahini or a generous handful of cashews
1.5-2 cups (or as needed) warm water
1/2 tsp salt
little turmeric (if you like it)
cayenne pepper, black pepper, and cumin to taste
It's so simple that I could just say: "Peel, chop, blend, and you're done" but I will break it down:
1. Peel the celery root and the garlic (to avoid having to peel the garlic put the whole cloves into a garlic press to squeeze them out...the peel will be left behind)
2. Chop all the ingredients into smaller pieces to help your blender
3. Place everything (with only some of the water) in the blender and whirl it up
4 Taste test it and add more salt, spices and water as necessary
5. Pour into bowl(s) immediately, drizzle with olive oil if you'd like and garnish with your favorite herbs/spices, etc. Enjoy and be grateful for every spoonful! : )
P.S: I have a new favorite that I will be posting soon! Have I mentioned that I love soups???

Chris Brown is facing a court hearing next month to determine whether he violated his probation.
The 'Don't Judge Me' singer is currently serving probation as part of the sentence for his assault of his former girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
Brown has been accused of submitting sloppy paperwork documenting his court-ordered community service in his hometown of Richmond, VA, according to KTLA.
There were reports earlier in the year Brown might not have actually completed 202 hours of community service that had been signed off by a police chief, who ultimately resigned due to the controversy.
Los Angeles prosecutors later requested more paperwork from Richmond police on Brown's community service, and were expected during a court hearing on Monday (June 10) to announce whether they would proceed with a possible probation violation.
The issue will be further explored in a preliminary hearing on July 15. It is not clear yet if Brown will be required to attend the court proceeding.
Earlier in the week, it was reported that Brown could face a separate probation violation charge if Los Angeles police pursue a battery case for his alleged fight against Frank Ocean.

Texas pipeline space lets oil market shrug off Longhorn shutdown
Oil markets shrugged off a spill that shut a pipeline crossing Texas, signaling no immediate shortage of space to haul crude from the region's prolific Permian Basin to Houston-area refineries.
The 1,200-barrel release Thursday on Magellan Midstream Partners LP's 275,000 barrel-a-day Longhorn system near Austin started after a contractor struck the pipeline while doing maintenance, according to a company statement. Residents within a 1-mile radius of the spill were evacuated. The leak has been contained, Brian McGovern, a spokesman for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, said by email. Longhorn moves regional crudes like West Texas Intermediate to Gulf Coast refineries and export terminals.
"There is enough spare capacity for now to juggle barrels around to other pipelines," John Auers, executive vice president at energy consultant Turner Mason & Co. in Dallas, said by phone.
The shutdown will affect other pipelines, hubs and markets as Permian producers look for other outlets for their crude, Auers said. More crude is likely to be shipped to Cushing, Oklahoma, the U.S. Midcontinent pipeline hub, and to Corpus Christi, Texas, on the Gulf Coast, he said.
WTI traded in spot markets in Houston and Midland, Texas, is likely to become depressed if the shutdown is prolonged, Auers said. WTI in both locations was steady relative to prices in Cushing, the U.S. benchmark, on Thursday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Long-term Implications
Magellan didn't have an estimate on how long the line would be down. The federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration hasn't issued any orders that would prevent Magellan from resuming service, spokesman Damon Hill said in an email.
Investigators from Phmsa, TCEQ and the Texas Railroad Commission, the state's oil and gas regulator, are at the site, Hill and McGovern said. Texas Transportation Department and Bastrop County officials are already there.
Longhorn was running at or near capacity amid strong refining and export demand along the Gulf Coast, and an extended shutdown would cause crude inventories in the Houston area to decline, Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston, said by phone. Gulf Coast crude inventories fell 6.07 million barrels in the week ended July 7 to the lowest level in almost six months, the Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday. Supplies at Cushing declined last week to the lowest level since November 2015.
"If it's down for a substantial period of time, it's going to impact crude oil available in the Houston market," Lipow said. "If it was a significant problem, some refiners might have to reduce their runs."

$15 per user, per month. You can get more details here.
We recommend Khorus for companies of 20 people or more.
Why? For a very small company, it is relatively easy for the CEO to pull everyone into a room, explain the vision and strategy, align teams, drive execution, etc.
But as the organization grows, clarity is difficult to scale. Miscommunications happen more frequently. Silos develop. Mission-critical insights get buried in layers of management.
Khorus is designed to solve precisely these challenges. We'd still love to talk to you if your company is smaller, but customers really begin to see the advantages of Khorus as it grows past 20—and they only increase as you grow toward the enterprise level.
We caution, however, that some of the most exciting perks of Khorus—cross-functional visibility, companywide forecasting, and high-powered leadership meetings—come when the whole organization is using Khorus.
That's awesome. You'll have a leg up in implementing Khorus. But we suggest you try a shared platform to house all this information. Why?
Yep. We have customers who use these goal-setting methodologies, and can work with you to integrate them with Khorus.
The aims of Khorus are larger than giving people goals. Khorus is about helping you run your business better.
Like other solutions, we help equip every individual and team with specific, measurable goals. Unlike other solutions, we bring it all together in a holistic platform—backed by a proven methodology—that helps leaders drive predictable results.
Khorus gives you a new operating system, changing the way you and your employees prioritize, communicate, run meetings, and think about the future. These shifts, though sometimes subtle, set the organization up for consistent high performance in a rapidly changing business environment.
Here are a few further items that set us apart from your standard goal-setting software:
Clearly, companies can do well without Khorus. (So far, Apple is doing okay on its own.)
However, the healthiest organizations tend to be really, really good at the disciplines Khorus supports: sharing priorities, aligning the team, collecting relevant insight, growing talent, etc. If you're not using any system for building those muscles, you run a greater risk of the most pervasive dysfunctions in the business world:
There are a few themes we hear again and again:
To read more about why our customers love Khorus, check out our case studies.
From a software-deployment perspective, no. One of our core tenets is to keep our interface as intuitive and simple as possible.
From an organizational-change perspective, your mileage may vary. Adopting Khorus can sometimes stir up problems that had been lurking below the surface, and looking straight in the mirror at how your company operates can be hugely enlightening but also uncomfortable.
We encourage customers to embrace this learning process. Fortunately, our team of seasoned leaders is here to help you get there.
Organizations that adopt Khorus typically see a cascade of different benefits in the first few quarters using the platform, with the full power unleashed around the third quarter.
The CEO is typically the heaviest user of Khorus. He or she uses it to do a weekly review of performance, investigate new insights, and run the leadership meeting. (With Khorus, these leadership meetings can usually be kept to thirty minutes or less.
Similarly, executives and managers typically review their team's performance each week and insights and use Khorus to run weekly team meetings.
Individual contributors don't need to spend much time in Khorus each week, unless they want to. An average weekly goal update takes only about five minutes.
Khorus does require that every person in the organization log in at least once a week to update their goals. The habit may take several weeks to catch on, but in our view it's highly worth it—those five minutes have a ton of leverage. If your teams aren't regularly reorienting to and communicating about shared priorities, the organization runs a high risk of growing sluggish and out of step with itself. Our customers have seen the relatively minimal time investment in Khorus pay big dividends.
For some executives and managers, the idea of transparently publishing team goals and performance can be daunting. Transparency isn't comfortable to everyone.
The thing to emphasize here is that the purpose of Khorus is not to punish leaders for missed goals or scrutinize any one team in particular. Instead, it's about developing a common playbook and keeping everyone on the same page. Lower-than-expected performance against a goal doesn't indicate a "bad" employee or team; it indicates a changed circumstance or an obstacle the team can come together to surmount if possible.
It's not particularly easy for any employee to flag one of their goals as red or orange in a given week. However, our philosophy is that it's very powerful to encourage these types of conversations and build a culture where they are deeply valued.
Also important to note: sensitive goals, such as M&A preparation, can be marked private in Khorus.
Khorus works best when it's driven and championed by the CEO.
It's the chief executive's role to set a destination for the organization and bring people together to get there, and Khorus was engineered to help him or her do that. In most of our customer organizations, an internal operations person assists the CEO in rolling out and maintaining the platform as needed.
However, Khorus also delivers value to everyone in the system, from the executive team to HR to managers at all levels—and even frontline employees. Their insight and participation makes the platform more powerful.
Not exactly. We don't offer payroll, benefits, compensation services, and many other typical HR software capabilities.
However, Khorus does have tremendous benefits for a strategic HR head—including the ability to deliver tangible value to the CEO, monitor talent and leadership levels across teams, and equip all management with a consistent approach to performance feedback.
No. If you're happy with how your company does performance reviews, this feature of Khorus is optional.
However, surveys show that 90 percent of HR heads feel their performance-management systems yield inaccurate information, and that 58 percent of executives feel these systems aren't worth the time. At the same time, leading companies like IBM, GE, and Deloitte are dismantling and streamlining their old approaches to performance reviews and ratings.
For leaders interested in evolving quickly to changing times, Khorus offers a scalable and consistent way to deliver quarterly feedback and measure talent levels.

|Women's Cross Country/Track and Field
Coach McNiff was hired in July of 2014 as head coach of the women's cross country and track and field programs.
McNiff comes to Dominican after spending the 2011-2014 seasons as the head boys cross country and track and field coach at his high school alma mater, Albertus Magnus High School.
McNiff spent his collegiate career at Fordham University on a full scholarship where he earned 12 varsity letters. He recorded personal best times of 4:07 for the mile, a time bettered by only a handful of Rocklanders, and 8:50 for the two mile, second-fastest ever by a Rockland collegian. He also ran a 3:49 leadoff leg (about a 4:07 mile equivalent) on Fordham's third-place 4x1,500-meter relay at the 1976 Penn Relays. Fordham's time surpassed the existing national record.
At Albertus Magnus High School, he ran cross country, indoor track and outdoor track and field. In cross country, he captured the New York State Intersectional Class B championship and won his division in the Eastern States Championships in 1972, set eight course records, and captured the Rockland County meet. In 1971, he led Albertus to the Rockland Public School Athletic League title with Neil Coleman and Steve Maloney, and was first-team All-County both years.
In indoor track, he was the Section 9 mile and two-mile champ in 1973 and also won the Cardinal Hayes Games two-mile. In spring track, he was the Rockland County mile champion two straight years; first-team All-County in the mile run and two-mile relay in 1972 and in the mile in 1973; the Section 9 Class B two mile and State Qualifier mile titlist in '73; undefeated in dual meets in '73; and runner-up in the two mile at the prestigious Penn Relays, losing only to a top runner from Virginia.
McNiff ran several high-quality marathons in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In the 1981 New York City Marathon, he clocked 2 hours 24 minutes 11 seconds, the second-fastest 26.2-miler ever by a Rocklander.
McNiff is a Rockland County native and local running legend. He is a member of the Rockland County Track and Field Hall of Fam (2004), the Rockland County Sports Hall of Fame (1998) and the Albertus Magnus High School Hall of Fame.
McNiff spent 31 years as a NY State Senior Court Officer and retired in 2010.

- PIXR: Animated Shorts Pixar got its start as an independent company with a short movie about a friendly looking desk lamp. It may conclude its independence by punching out the lights of short sellers. A report in The Wall Street Journal yesterday that Walt Disney may buy the digital-animation studio and maker of movies such as "Finding Nemo" sent shares of both companies higher -- a sure sign that many investors applaud the idea.

- FNM FRE: Greenspan Seeks to Recast Debate On Fannie and Freddie Portfolios Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in a letter released yesterday sought to recast arguments to cut Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's investment portfolios as a way to refocus the government-chartered mortgage companies on their public housing mission. Mr. Greenspan reiterated his previous concerns, and those held by the Bush administration, that Fannie's and Freddie's vast mortgage holdings pose a threat to the U.S. financial system which "normal market forces are unable to resolve."

- Japan Markets: Heard on the Street... Tokyo's Bulls Stay in the Ring As Day Traders Lick Wounds, Fund Managers Remain Upbeat; Nikkei Halts Skid, Gains 2.3% For many global investors, this week's shakeout in the Tokyo stock market was almost welcome. A rush of sell orders forced the Tokyo Stock Exchange to shorten its sessions Wednesday and yesterday. This mass selling, sparked by scandal surrounding the Japanese Internet company Livedoor, sent the blue-chip Nikkei Stock Average skidding nearly 7% in three days, though there was a partial rebound yesterday that continued early Friday, Tokyo time.

- Mad Money Summary: Cramer said that it may be time to look at debt collection as stories of how a good amount of bankruptcies hit right before the new laws went into effect. Cramer sees this as a positive for Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRAA). Cramer said that Portfolio Recovery Associates likes to buy debt from credit card companies for pennies on the dollar and then collect; he added that debt was a long-term story and expects the stock to stay strong. Cramer said there could be "a lot of money in curing cancer" and he is recommending Varian Medical Systems (VAR) as a radiation play. Cramer said that Varian's new machine, the Image-Guided Radiation Therapy system, could change the harmful way that cancer is treated. Herb Greenberg and Cramer both agreed that investors should stay away from AMR (AMR). Greenberg said that AMR will probably lose money and the company has a lot of debt. Cramer wrapped up his show with a hearing aid play, which is not based in the U.S, Amplifon. Amplifon trades on the Milan Stock Exchange, where Cramer recommends buying shares, but also has shares that trade on the pink sheets under symbol AMFPF
Market Comments: The market opened lower this morning, on poor earnings reports from GE, Citi, and Motorola. So far, it seems that earnings have not been as strong as the market was hoping for.
Oil is again trading higher, topping $67 this morning. Bond yields are down a bit to 4.37%. When the Fed takes short rates to 4.25%, there will only be a 12 basis point spread between overnight rates and 10-year Notes. Talk about a flat yield curve!
FFIV reported strong earnings and is bucking the weakness this morning. Other than that, the only group that is up are the energy stocks.

A YouGov poll has found that 76 per cent of people would support a cap on bonuses, while 59 per cent would back a windfall tax on bankers' bonuses.
Of that, 60 per cent say the tax should also be levied on hedge fund managers and those working for private equity houses.
The survey also found support for tighter regulation of the financial sector, with seven out of 10 respondents saying they wanted a separation of retail and investment banking similar to the now-defunct Glass-Steagall Act in the US.
Three out of four surveyed said that banks hadn't changed in the wake of the financial crisis, while there was also popular support for a levy on financial transactions or a "Tobin tax".
The findings come as RBS boss Stephen Hester yesterday decided to forego his £1.6m bonus in the face of mounting populist anger against bankers.
Hester's decision follows similar moves by Barclays chief executive John Varley and president Bob Diamond, who both waived their 2009 bonuses despite doubling pre-tax profit to £11.6bn.

Congratulations to those that completed the Tour de Scottsdale - NWLB had a great showing at the race and rocked the event with amazing finishes - Way to Go!!
Last Sunday – October 3rd – Tour de Scottsdale - Thompson Peak: I received a call from Val and she was the only one in the parking lot. Our guess was NWLB gals were either riding TdS or sleeping in... by the time I made it to the parking lot - we had 7 gals ready to ride up to the start of the TdS race. We had a slight delay in the parking lot with Jeannie's tire, got it fixed and headed north to the event..... now we were pushing it, and I was still amazed the gals were able to talk at this pace. As we started up Thompson Peak - we got a flat.... so Val and I, with Lisa's camera - took off in hopes of seeing the start. As we entered the parking, most of the riders had already pulled out, but we were lucky enough to see Marianne and a couple others beginning their journey. Then we realized if we went to the top of the marketplace on Thompson Peak - the lead riders were just coming back through... we got to see everyone (the flat tire gang made it back to us, but I don't think they were able to see anyone - they were there in spirit for sure). We saw Amy, Theresa, Marianne, Kathy, Terry, Cindy, Jackie, Michelle, Melissa, Kelly N., Angela, Tricia - I'm sure there are others... but everyone went by so fast, it was fun to be a spectator. Congratulations again, you gals rocked the race! Share your stories and we can post next week or on facebook - send them to me!

Reuse of wastewater in aboriginal communities in Western Australia
Mathew, K., Ho, G.E. and Anda, M. (2000) Reuse of wastewater in aboriginal communities in Western Australia. Schriftenreihe des Vereins für Wasser-, Boden- und Lufthygiene, 105 . pp. 233-9.
Western Australia is a very arid area and freshwater is a precious resource. The wise and efficient use of this resource is essential for the establishment of communities in this region. Wastewater reuse in Aboriginal communities is a very recent development. Initially leach drains disposed of wastewater. Due to their failure most of the major communities now have the effluent from the septic tanks collected by a small diameter reticulated sewerage system and directed to oxidation ponds for treatment. The overflow from the oxidation ponds is allowed to flow over land or to a creek without any specific use. This paper discusses available reuse options as well as the options specific to Aboriginal communities in Western Australia. It is intended to demonstrate that in arid regions reuse wastewater can act as a water conservation and pollution control measure.

Art, appetizers, sweets and brew are on the menu
The Western New York Artists Group will present "EYES on ART" at its summer reception featuring art, appetizers, sweets and brew. The Aug. 7 event takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. at the AG Gallery, One Linwood Ave., Buffalo. A selection of original small works of art by WNYAG artists will be available for purchase at $100 each. The happening will feature craft brews from Buffalo's new Resurgence Brewing Co.
During "EYES on ART," the AG Gallery's exhibition on view will showcase watercolors by Marjorie Norton - "Retrospective."
The event aspires to raise both friends and funds for WNYAG. All event proceeds will benefit The Western New York Artists Group. Western New York Artist Group operations are supported, in part, by public funds from the City of Buffalo, Erie County, and by the generosity of its members and the community-at-large.
WNYAG maintains an ardent collaborative working relationship with other area museums and galleries. Its activities include advocacy and promotion of both well-established and emerging local artists; solo, small- and large-group exhibitions (juried and non-juried); art classes; book signings; children's events; and lectures, recitals, presentations and readings from authors and poets. WNYAG continues to play a strategic role in building the area's rich arts community and urban neighborhood surrounding its gallery. It is dedicated to continuing its mission to develop, nourish and support the arts in the region.
Situated on the edge of the footprint of the new Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, event planners said arts organizations are an important catalyst for downtown economic development.
WNYAG is a community-centered, nonprofit 501 (c) (3) arts organization.

EVERTON hero Howard Kendall presented a cheque to one of his favourite charities on Friday.
The sum of £2,000 was raised at a testimonial football match for Freshfield club captain Darren Jawook.
And Howard's all-star team, which included Blues old boys such as Paul Bracewell, Peter Reid and Graham Stuart, won the day 2-1.
However, this was a testimonial with a difference, with every penny raised going straight to Stick 'n' Step, the charity for children with cerebral palsy.
And Howard was delighted to present the cheque to Sam Lofthouse, who has the condition.
The championship-winning manager appears to have retained his competitive streak: "This is a charity I am only too happy to help whenever possible.
"And I am pleased we won the football match!"

Does it disrupt the flow of Primary? It's a little different, five minutes without a jump back but then primary goes a little weird after badha konasana anyway. If I slipped it into Primary earlier in the sequence it might be disruptive but by the time I get to Kukkutasana I'm pretty settled into the rhythm of the practice, it becomes a welcome change of pace, refreshing to work yourself deeper and deeper into a pose.
The other Vinyasa Krama additions I've made have tended to be the odd pose or Mudra here and there. I'm being careful not to overbalance the series. If I wanted to do an inverted Subroutine in headstands, say, then I would probably drop this one and do the inverted instead. So far it's been working out well, practice has been excellent this week.
Taking a rest day today as I think I might be going down with something. Woke up dizzy yesterday, kept veering to the right and banging into things. Standing was quite comical, it was as if I was practicing on a boat in rough seas. Managed to get through the practice but was feeling nauseous through all the forward bends. I checked and I haven't taken a rest day since 31st march, must force myself to take one a week, perhaps just some extended Pranayama and meditation later today and leave it at that.

Exclusive preview: Shadow of the Tomb Raider – The Nightmare
As a special treat from Square Enix, the trailer for the third addition to The Shadow of the Tomb Raider game, "The Nightmare", is premiering via Gadget a few hours before its general midnight release.
In the additional story, Lara faces off against familiar enemies and fallen friends. In order to obtain a powerful and mysterious weapon, she must face the music in a new challenge tomb, battle foes who look familiar, but are not like any she's faced before, and confront the deadliest enemy of all: herself.
Click through to watch the exclusive trailer.
The downloadable content (DLC) takes place on the Croft Manor estate, where we find Lara picking her way through the voices of the past, as she confronts the demons from her past. One can expect this to be a creepy psychological horror trip, and that it will probably bring up the characters who have fallen in her formative years, to use them against her.
The Nightmare DLC launches on all platforms on January 22. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One.

This is the inspiration image:
I really love how they give you multiple images plus the color swatches of the colors they are into.
When I saw steel blue, I thought immediately of my DCWV "Neutrals" textured cardstock pad - it has a fabulous steel or icy blue, more like the flowers than the swatch. The yellow and gray combo brought me right back to my wedding theme papers - Cosmo Cricket's EverAfter (2009 release), as there are some beautiful yellow and gray patterns included in the package
I also thought "boys" - how stereotypical... but in flipping through the wedding photos I really liked how the colors set off the limo.. and so this page was born:
The limo embellie is Jolee's, blue flowers are Creative Memories, and large flowers are Recollections, chipboard is Momenta (I think).

Forrest Gump drives down electric avenue
US actor Tom Hanks has gone back to his nerdy Forrest Gump ways, after blogging about a new electric car on his MySpace page.
Tinder truly is like a box of chocolates.
20-year-old video of Tom Hanks 'auditioning' for the part of Forrest Gump has emerged online, and it's kinda disappointing.
Former Everton goalkeeper Neville Southall has likened Joey Barton to Forrest Gump.
A real-life Forrest Gump set foot in Britain on Tuesday on his mission to run 365 marathons in a year.

The Tiger's Wife is set in a Balkan country after years of war and conflict. Natalia, a young doctor, is on a trip to an orphanage to provide care when she hears of her grandfather's sudden death. In addition to the sadness she feels for the loss of her grandfather, she realizes that there is a huge mystery to where his death occurred. She found out that her grandfather had told the family that he was going to visit Natalia on her mission to an out of town orphanage, but he had not told Natalia of this. As she tries to find out more information about the whereabouts of his death, she realizes it is in a town that no one has heard of and that isn't on the map. She tries to figure out where her grandfather was really going and what he was in search of. In the process, she is reminded of two stories that may be vital in understanding what he was doing and where he was going; the story of the deathless man, and the story of the Tiger's Wife.
I'm not done with the book, but it's been mysterious and a riveting family story so far. I highly recommend this book, it will be published in March 2011.
This is Tea Obreht's first novel. Some of her short stories have been published in The New Yorker and she has been named one of the Top 20 Best American Fiction Writers Under 40.
