Synthesizer enthusiasts and musicians in general tend to love gear. Guitarists are notorious for lusting after a specific year/make/model of a Gibson Les Paul, Fender Telecaster, or even some more esoteric out of production cheap Japanese pawn shop special that captured their heart or imagination years ago. We tend to collect gear like baseball card enthusiasts collect their favorite teams or an antique dealer collects tea cups. Part of this is for the different features, interface, or sounds a particular instrument makes but if we're honest a lot has to do with the phenomena of simply wanting to try *that* or the thrill finding some rare piece has. There's even a tongue-in-cheek term for this illness, Gear Acquisition Syndrome (or G.A.S. for short in internet speak) and it's only half in jest someone (usually a significant other or friend who doesn't understand the draw of a 1981 Ibanez Tube screamer with the original JS chip) throws their hands in the air and comments while rolling their eyes. Yep, he's got G.A.S.
Online forums and mailing lists dedicated to esoteric analog and other synthesizers (read GEEKS) are ripe with decade old arguments of which synth is "better", why "X" is overpriced, how someone should just reissue a "holy grail" type long lost piece and why/how that will never be done, or was done, or was done but it wasn't quite *right* and the original is better, etc etc etc. Thank you Internet.
If we were to push aside many of the minor conversations revolving around pure taste and opinion I believe most of the complaints by gearheads come down to "I want one and I can't find it" or "it's so rare/vintage if I do find one I can't afford it."When you have G.A.S. common sense doesn't always drive your decisions and thus we get outrageous price tags on instruments only which a few years earlier were selling for 1/10th this week's cost.
It's ultra rare a company recognizes the small but vocal minority who want their vintage products. In many cases the synth went out of production for very good reasons with some being poor sales, it was too difficult/expense to mass build any more, or even it was a complete commercial failure upon it's release and only found new life in a new context years later.
I'm happy to report this week at NAMM (the National Association of Music Merchants) three old, long out of production products are being re-introduced to the general public. What many gearheads once only dreamed of is become a reality. Three completely different manufacturers are selling three classic, amazing, and highly sought after synthesizers for the first time in decades and all are being made available again in close to original specs. Each was lovingly and painstakingly (perhaps even fetishistically) reproduced by teams paying special attention to what made the original special and they have spent time and money over and above to "get it right". None of these are a quick and dirty clones or cash ins on hype.
Of course there will always be some who criticize and aren't satisfied but in looking at the initial reports of these items I'd say this is a DAMN fine time to play synthesizer and prices for NEW versions are infinitely more affordable than buying an ornery and perhaps delicate original which is also a huge plus.
Let's meet some of the class of 2013, all of who actually graduated a far back as the early 1970s shall we?
1. Korg MS20 -
The Korg MS20 is an odd duck in older analog monosynths. Moog had their buttery bass MiniMoog which even the most casual synth nerd (and most guitarists) knew about. Arp had the Odyssey, Sequential Circuits had the Pro One and all of these were sold by the boat load as lead, bass, sound effects instruments. But Korg went a little left of center and came out with the semi patchable, dual screeching filter MS20. Compared to the other synths of it's time it was... well, Weird.
Perhaps it's precisely it's unique design and sound that helped make it a favorite of alternative bands from industrial to indie rock. The MS20 was never the good looking kid in the class but it's attitude won creative folks over from Skinny Puppy to Richard James (Aphex Twin) to Portishead. Korg has amazingly brought back this synth in all it's analog glory for a fraction of the price vintage ones go for. They're proud of this legacy and in an honorable Japanese tradition even rolled out the original designers for input in it's resurrection.
What does it sound like? Well it can be smooth or fluid but it's forte is processing external sounds and it's insane dueling resonant screeching filters. For a good example of it's sheer power check out my 1990s track "Night Nurse" where it builds menacingly into a crescendo of sweeping freaknoise. Thank you Korg!
2. Cyclone TT-303 Bass Bot
ACID was born and while some it it went the polite Acid House route, plenty of raw, rubbery, and downright dirty and fast recordings were made. The 303 made hardcore Acid possible and it became the DIY Punk of the techno world with all the good and bad that entails.
Over the years few electronic instruments have been as revered, hated, over used, and perfectly well adapted as the TB303. Used prices soared and literally dozens of clones were made over the next few decades. One could spend months researching and discussing the various good and bad points of all this but bottom line, the TB303 has a rabid following and without exception all of the various third party versions were *different* moving the quirks of it's sequencer, filter, or design around with "improvements" which left purists wanting. After a few years in the making it seems a true clone (down to the design, buttons, programming, and knobs) is emerging. The Cyclone TT-303 is a thrid party instrument (not a Roland product in any way) which has garnered praise from 303 experts around the world. Is it the new TB303? Regardless of where you come down on that decision it's amazing to see such a labor of love working to make this iconic instrument available again in all of it's glory.
For extra credit here's an amusing short documentary detailing the fall and rise of the invincible 303:
3. Buchla Music Easel -
Perhaps the most astonishing "reissue" product is the one no one ever thought would happen. Actually no one ever thought anyone would WANT it to happen! The Buchla music easel is a portable collection of analog synthesizer modules with a touch control key like interface that boldly went where no instrument when before. While Robert Moog was designing instruments for traditional musicians Buchla went so left of center he created a Non-instrument instrument for sound freaks and true pioneers with input from forward thinkers like Morton Subotnick. Apparently only 30 or so were ever made and over the years it's legend has grown to mythic proportions with some prices creeping up over $20,000 if and when one ever showed up on the market.
Buchla re-emerged in the 2000s with a new line of equally intense boutique synthesizer modules and took his legacy into the 21st century with the 200e system featuring unique oscillators, sequencers, and many pieces that simply defied categorization (his "filter module the 291e can also be a sequencer, oscillator, and amplifier for example). With the 200e and his unique interactive and spatial midi controllers like Thunder and Lightening Buchla moved on and on with each new piece surprising designers, academics,and hardcore modular freaks at every turn.
So it was shocking in all these circles this week when the newly formed Buchla Electronic Music Instruments (BEMI) announced a full scale reissue of the original "Music Box" complete with touch pressurized keypad, original programming cards (solder your own resistors to make your patch kids!), and faithful reproduction of all of the components. For synth nerds the Music Easel is the Holy Grail and the rarest of the rare. Add to that it was just so damn esoteric and non commercial it's new life would seem a bit of a puzzle. But times (and tastes) have changed and, again, it's a good time to enjoy odd sounds.
So now, apparently, the Music Easel will be available not only again but truly - for the general public - for the first time in mass production. Price is not cheap as it's rumored to be around $4000 plus extra for the new interface add ons (Blue tooth and Ipad interfaces will apparently be made available - for a 50 year old synthesizer!!!).
Still amazingly BEMI seems poised to be moving forward even as they look to the past. The man has done it again.
Here's the obligatory tacky interview and a description of the 2013 Music Easel:
So there you have it. Three entirely different companies in different countries with different structures making odd instruments that were so ahead of their time it's taken over 40 years for some of them to be in demand. Who knows what the future will hold for these designs (or their offspring)? Perhaps this signals a renewed interest in hardware instruments VS VSTs and Apps? Maybe the tactile user interface and features that have stood the test of time will once again dominate the electronic music world (or at least happily co-exist in it)?
But such discussions will be around and are for another day. This week, let's simply enjoy the bounty that these new classics offer and all together... Bleep On!

Ultra Niche... all about "bending"
One of the great parts of being a weird underground musician and artist is you get to meet other weird underground artists and collaborate a bit. A few years ago I was roped into Woodshop films bizarre talk show Ultra Niche when they did an episode on my hardcore geek interest circuit bending.
Host Wang Newton did an admirable job bringing the geek to the masses and a few of my pieces and videos from DAEDSound.com were used. I also got to sit down with the magnificent Wang and act like an idiot. Great fun all around.
Woodshop films has been creating alternative media for years and does fabulous work including the brilliant Scrapple TV and more. Wang Newton is well known in NYC, Phlia, and the world wide and always a treat to see.
Watch on!

If you believe this handy chart, as part of any future corporate tax reform both President Obama and Rick Santorum would institute preferential tax rates for U.S. manufacturers, with Santorum doing away with the corporate tax entirely for businesses that, you know… build stuff.
I add that overly simplistic description because, truthfully, it is not always easy to explain exactly what constitutes "manufacturing." In a lot of ways, manufacturing is like pornography or the infield fly rule, you can't define it, but you know it when you see it.
But with preferential treatment potentially to be afforded to manufacturers, meeting the "manufacturing" definition could become extremely important, a fact not lost on David Cay Johnston over at Reuters.
Johnston takes an innovative approach in a column titled "Obama's Hamburger Problem," which is not to be confused with Chipper Jones' hamburger problem.
In the column, Johnston compares the assembly of a car — which is considered manufacturing — with the assembly of a fast-food hamburger, which is not:
The notion of hamburger-making as manufacturing may seem silly, a bit like the 1981 U.S. Agriculture Department proposal to classify ketchup as a vegetable for school lunches. But classifying activities as manufacturing or not becomes crucial if manufacturers pay taxes at a reduced rate.
Hamburgers may seem like pure assembly, but a case can be made that they are more like manufacturing than assembling a car from finished parts made overseas. Your local hamburger joint starts with raw meat, fresh or frozen. If it comes in lumps then someone must make the meat into uniform discs or squares. Then the protein must be fried, grilled or broiled. Only then can the meat, lettuce and whatnot be assembled.
Johnston ultimately concludes that the real beneficiaries of preferential manufacturing rates would be the attorneys and CPAs charged with making the case that their clients meet the definition:
Imagine all the high-paying jobs Obama's plan would create. Companies of all kinds will want to hire more tax accountants and lawyers making the case their client's business activity is manufacturing. These are not the sort of additional jobs America needs.
I , obviously, beg to differ.
The point, of course, is that even code reform based on good intentions comes with the price of complexity and confusion. Most people agree that providing tax incentives to manufacturers would encourage U.S. job growth, but as is usually the case when it comes to tax law, the problem lies in the execution. Any reform would likely further complicate the code and invite abuse as non-manufacturers clamor to meet whatever definition makes its way into the statute.

Prince Harry's 30th birthday celebrations began with a beer, as he market the end of the Invictus Games on Sunday night. Harry has been the driving force behind the sporting event for wounded and sick service personnel. The Invictus Games ended with a pop concert in the former Olympic Park featuring the Foo Fighters, Kaiser Chiefs and Ellie Goulding.
Over four days, more than 400 wounded servicemen and women, veterans and those still serving, from 13 countries competed in a range of sports, from wheelchair basketball to track and field events. The games were held at the former Olympic Park and the Lee Valley Sports Centre.
After seeing a similar initiative in America, Harry wanted to do something similar back home. He has said he hopes it will support competitors' rehabilitation and raise public awareness of those injured while serving their countries.
During a speech at the concert, Harry told the crowd "These games have shone a spotlight on the unconquerable character of servicemen and women and their families – their invictus spirit."
Invictus team captain and double amputee, Dave Henson, also turned 30 on Monday. The Prince said on the occasion "On the birthday side of things, I'll be chuffed to bits when I'm having a beer with Dave Henson … we turn 30 at exactly the same time, on Sunday night. We're really looking forward to being 30, both feeling quite old about it."
Turning 30 means also means that Harry will be entitled to a multimillion pound inheritance estimated at £10.7m left to him by his mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
After experiencing the death of his mother at a young age and stirring controversy with his antics in his teens and early 20s, Harry seems like he is done with the shenanigans and has matured into a lovely man.

Confessions of a Bookworm #1
Confessions of a bookworm is a new meme started by Anila at Parajunkee.com.
I don't think my confession is crazy or anything but my secret is that I honest to goodness wanted/ want to be on Broadway. I was a theatre major in undergrad but I have a million student loans and everything in the theatre world is so uncertain so I slowly walked away from it and now I'm a librarian. However I honest to goodness pretend while I'm driving to work that I'm in some huge show and sing and dance and I make sure the people driving next to me get the show of their lives!!
My car is hardly Broadway, but when I'm in there performing, it's pretty damn close!
What's your secret?

As I walked out of the locker room, I saw my officer traversing my field of view in a big hurry.
I was on the phone at the time, and my attention was drawn to his form crossing the bay floor. This must be something important.
My curiosity was answered a moment later, when I heard a voice echoing from the watch desk: "1212 Eaton St! First due, first due!"
"Shit, we've got a box. I gotta go."
Before I even finished the sentence, I tossed my phone in my pocket and broke into a full sprint from the back of the bay. I weaved my way through and around the boat, the tactical support truck, and the other pieces of Special Operations apparatus that stood between me and the engine.
I turned to Antoine as we pulled on our coats and remarked that I knew we'd end up in this neighborhood tonight. As I remember from my mentoring days, we routinely run into the notorious neighborhood of Barry Farms at least a few times a tour—but tonight, on only my second tour back at 15, I had no clue that we'd be getting a first-due fire.
Seconds later, we turned the corner to Eaton St and started looking around—nothing yet. A quick right turn later, we had hopped a curb and pulled up in front of a two-story end unit with fire coming from the second-floor window.
The first half of the crosslay smoothly found its way onto my shoulder; I spun and took off, pulling the remainder of the hoseline into a neat pile next to the wagon.
The Lieutenant and I pushed up the stairs until we could no longer see; we masked up at the top of the stairs and made a U-turn towards the fire room. Just inside the doorway, I parked myself off to the side and opened up into the ceiling.
It was quick work, since it was only a room-and-contents; thankfully, with the Squad and Engine 25 pushing right up behind us, we got it quick and were able to knock it within a few minutes.
The aftermath. Fire was showing from the window directly above the front door.
"Hey, rook!"
I was outside, replacing my SCBA bottle. I looked up through my mop of sweat-soaked hair to find one of the squad guys ambling towards me.
"Didn't take you long to earn your shirt, huh?"
I cocked my head quizzically.
"You can't wear 15 Engine colors until you get a fire."
He paused as I made the ah-ha! face.
(I should have known it was coming.)
As he turned away, he laughed over his shoulder:
"The hard part is over. Now all you have to do is hurry up and finish your probation, ya dumbass."

I was excited about this board. It came in the mail, but after an hour of not really doing anything rough it just collapsed. NOT TOUGH ENOUGH. "A" for effort and a great company, they gave me a full refund and let me keep the broken board, but it feels cheep and more like a prototype.

Just wanted to take a moment to update you on Ella's latest escapades.
During one of our last hospital stays (I can't remember which one because they're all sort of running together), the doctors told us Ella has something called geographic tongue. It's something that's hereditary, in this case she inherited it from Amanda, and is harmless and is different for everyone. In Amanda, we'd always thought it was an allergy to citrus fruit, pineapple in particular, because the spots would always appear on Amanda's tongue after she'd eaten a citrus fruit, usually pineapple. In Ella, it's an early warning indicator that something's amiss and she's not well. Before both times we ended up being readmitted for the urinary tract infections (UTIs), she had white spots on her tongue that almost looked like thrush. We were also told to monitor her fevers for temperatures above 101°F and any time she exceeded a 101°F tempt she needed to be tested for another UTI.
Well, last week the spots showed up again and she felt a little warm, but every time we took a temp it was either normal or only a degree or two high, so we waited and watched and it turned out she'd caught a little cold so we had nothing worse to deal with that a little snot-nosed baby (oh such a totally normal thing. Yay!).
On Sunday, the spots again returned and this time her temp started climbing and we were sure we were going to be back at the hospital for my birthday on Monday. About 7pm we took a temp and it showed 101.6°F. Ella, despite the mild fever and spots on her tongue didn't seem at all unhappy, but to be cautious, we decided to compromise between taking her all the way out to Children's Hospital and staying home and doing nothing by taking her to our local Urgent Care facility.
After spending an hour and a half at the Urgent Care facility where they did nothing but take Ella's temp (99.7°F) and traumatize her trying to insert a catheter, Amanda ended up having to take Ella out to Children's Hospital anyway.
The ER at Children's Hospital was filled with sick kids (yes, on a Sunday night it was busy) all hacking and coughing up crap and none of them wearing masks or covering their mouths. Fortunately, Ella was taken back fairly quickly (but not until after Amanda had shooed away one nosey, snot-nosed little ankle-biter and had given the voodoo priestess stink-eye to its mother). The pros at Children's Hospital quickly and effortlessly inserted the catheter and took a quick sample. The sample came back clear and her other tests showed that poor little Ella just had a minor sinus infection. They said normally they'd prescribe a mild antibiotic and send her home, but since she was already on pretty heavy antibiotics they said they'd just send her home with instructions to continue her antibiotics as prescribed.
So it was a long, harrowing night all for naught, but Amanda and Ella were home and in their own beds for the night which was wonderful. I suppose a couple positives came out of it though:
1) The staff at Children's Hospital told us that in the future for a simple UTI test, we could/should just go over to Littleton Hospital and their pediatric docs could handle the draw. Littleton is reasonably close, so it won't be a long drive out to Children's Hospital unless absolutely necessary.
2) We learned that Ella's geographic tongue is definitely an indicator of her being ill and it's not limited to UTIs. Poor kid. She'll never be able to fake her way out of going to school by claiming she's sick. All we'll ever have to do is ask her to stick out her tongue. :)

Utilizing your smartphone or AI assistant for weather readings usually brings about a generalized bit of information, so the 'Turo' temperature device is intended to provide more specific results.
The 'Turo' consists of a thermometer that can be placed just about anywhere indoors or out that you wish and a display module that will show the exact temperature. This means users can get an accurate reading of what the temperature is like in their area rather than the generalized region that they live.
The 'Turo' temperature device is the design work of Justeen Lee and can be used in a wide array of different ways in and around the home. It acts as a great addition to an existing framework to help provide additional information.

text: The two surviving members of the 1939 Langford team that qualified for the State B Boys' Basketball Tournament are hoping for better results for their hometown. "We got beat pretty badly in our first two games at the '39 state tourney," said 85-year-old Robert Pearson of Canyon, Texas. "Back then, that meant you were eliminated if you lost your first two games. So I sure hope they do better than we did. I'll be rooting for them, that is for sure." So will Pearson's 85-year-old classmate and teammate, Roy Pederson of Tucson, Ariz. "To this day, it was an indescribable feeling to make it to the state tournament," said Pederson. "It was the best feeling. That is why I am so happy for the current team. I hope they go all the way!" Current Langford senior standout Shane Hurley can relate. "Everyone in the community is excited," he said. "They are coming up and shaking our hands. It is pretty neat. You can see how upbeat everyone is in their eyes and on their faces. Everyone on the team knows what a big accomplishment this is. "But we still have games to play. Every team in the state tournament has a great offense and defense. We need to make every possession count on offense and continue to play tough defense. With so many good teams, a letdown here or there could turn out to be the difference in the outcome of a game." Pearson and Pederson recently got together for a visit. "We had a grand old time," said Pederson with a laugh. "We didn't need anyone else. We did a lot of laughing, talking and reminiscing." Other team members in 1939 were Robert Page, Frank Tobin, Kenneth Ogren, Arthur Newtson, Warren Miles, Darwin Liknes, Ralph Liknes and John Healy. Langford is making its second appearance in school history in the State B tourney today at Wachs Arena in Aberdeen. The Lions (20-3) will meet Sully Buttes (19-4) at 2:45 this afternoon in the opening round. The other openers are Mitchell Christian (22-1) vs. Estelline (16-7) at 1 p.m.; Faith (21-2) vs. Hurley (17-6) at 7 p.m.; and White River (19-3) vs. Armour (17-6) at 8:45 p.m. Pearson said he still follows Langford and the South Dakota sports scene. "That crew from Sully Buttes is always good, and they always have been," Pearson said. "So Langford will have their work cut out for them right away." In the opening round of the 1939 tournament in Brookings on March 10, McLaughlin beat Woonsocket 41-31; Armour beat Hitchcock 30-23; defending champion Arlington defeated Wakonda 29-25; and Deadwood defeated Langford 29-16. The next day on Saturday, Armour beat McLaughlin 41-16 and Deadwood beat Arlington 32-20 in the semifinals in the afternoon. That night in the championship game that started at 9:45 p.m., Deadwood beat Armour 29-27 on Rollie Furois' game-winning shot with 90 seconds left. Armour was led by 6-foot-5 Max Becker. "Deadwood was head and shoulders above us," said Pearson. "But of course, as it turned out, they were head and shoulders above everyone. They won the state title the following year, too." Pearson and Pederson were among nine seniors on Langford's 10-player roster. Langford had 93 students in high school and 500 residents in 1939. "We were very excited to even get that far," said Pearson, whose son, Lyle, became a well-known coach at Sioux Falls Lincoln. "We had a lot of big schools in the area and a lot of great competition. Webster, Britton and Groton were part of our (eight-team) district. So beating teams like that was a thrill for us." The 1939 Region 1B Tournament at Clark featured four district champions - there were 32 Class B districts back then compared to 16 today. Langford rallied to nip Garden City 22-19 in the opening round and beat Columbia 50-19 to win the Region 1B title. Pearson said the 1939 Langford team had a few players who were around 6-foot-1. "Back then, 6-foot-1 was a pretty tall player," he said. "We really depended upon our center (Kenneth Ogren). He worked hard for four years to get where he was." Plus, "we had great team chemistry," added Pederson, "and a real good coach (Richard Lay)." Pederson said there was a jump ball after every field goal, which helped account for the low scores. He also said Langford was used to playing in tiny gyms. "Many of them didn't have locker rooms," he said. "So you dressed in a classroom and you couldn't take a shower after the game." Pederson said he and his teammates were shocked when they walked into the State B gymnasium at Brookings. "It was something like we had never seen before," Pederson said. "We were used to playing in gyms where if you went in for a layup, you ran into a brick wall. This place was spacious and huge. We were so glad to be there, but we were in awe. That might have been why we didn't play so well in the state tournament."

Top US University in Africa Graduates First Students
universityworldnews.com | Article Source | by Reuben Kyama
Internationally respected Carnegie Mellon University became the first highly ranked American institution to operate a fully-fledged campus in Africa when it set up in tiny, post-conflict Rwanda in September 2011. The first batch of students graduated last month.
The pioneering effort in the central African nation is enabling young people from across the continent to obtain a world-class education in their home region.
"The graduation underscores Carnegie Mellon University and the government of Rwanda's commitment to educating engineers and entrepreneurs who are striving to make an economic impact in East Africa," officials said in a statement.
Other places where Carnegie Mellon runs campuses include Silicon Valley in California, Qatar, Mexico, the Asian region, Australia and Europe.

Girls, Meet Your New Best Friend!
Kim Kardashian has posted a photo of herself with a special piece of DIY equipment that she uses to enhance her chest when she's going on the red carpet.
Ladies, you might want to jump in your car and head to B&Q
On Tuesday Kim Kardashian revealed how she manages to make the most of her assets as she shared two very private photos from several years ago. In it she shows off her chest that has nothing but straps of tape on her.
She then quoted the picture 'I definitely had to share my tape secret with you guys!! It's my secret trick to have perfect cleavage in photos.'
'You tape them up so they are super lifted. It takes a little work but trust me it's all worth it LOL. Kim added: 'I've used everything from duct tape to packing tape to masking tape and I think that the best I found is gaffer's tape.

A fabulously happy-looking cobalt blue. I put a silver sparkle topcoat over this and this looks amazing for the New Year! I might wish this covered thicker in one coat, but sometimes the thicker formulas take too long to dry. Some blues can be hard for a warm toned or olive girl to wear, but this is nice... Not too dark or light in tone, perfectly in the middle.

The Australian humanitarian crisis cannot be ignored by New Zealand. Canberra seems completely paralysed and unable to understand the horror of the situation they have created at the Manus Island Detention facility in Papua New Guinea, let alone resolve the problem.
Partly, this is because of the entrenched racism of the conservative Turnbull Government and partly it's because that awkward Liberal Party led coalition is on the verge of collapse, with its majority already gone and yet another MP about to be forced from Parliament because he's unsure what country he's from.
New Zealand has repeatedly offered to take 150 of the refugees stranded on Manus Island. The Aussies have refused, apparently because they are afraid NZ will grant the brutalised men citizenship and that will entitle the refugees to then move to Australia.
It's worth remembering that these people are genuine referees, not economic migrants. They have every right to seek sanctuary. It's Australia's shame that they are being treated so poorly.
Australia has cut off power, water and food to the 600. They tell them to move to the tiny main town on Manus Island where they have no accommodation, no jobs and no welcome from the locals. It's madness.
There is a Kiwi solution available though.
In the ANZAC spirit, we should help our Aussie cousins out. We've always been there to help them when they couldn't help themselves and in their time of crisis we need to step up.
We should send the Navy to Manus.
The NZ Navy has ships more than capable of evacuating all 600 asylum seekers. The Wellington and the Otago are designed to cover this sort of work and have the ability to launch smaller vessels and helicopters to ferry the victims from the Island.
The larger frigates HMNZS Te Kaha and HMNZS Te Mana (ironically Aussie built and ANZAC class) could act as motherships further to sea.
We could be in and out in a couple of days and the evacuation is certain to be supported by the PNG Government and the Manus Island locals.
The next step is to grant citizenship to all 600 on the understanding that 450 will fly to Australia within days. After all, it's Australia's problem and Australia is where the issue should be resolved.
So, there's the plan.
Swift, sensible and easily accomplished.
Let's prove that the ANZAC spirit is not just something to saluted on Gallipoli Day commemorations.
Let's save our Aussie cousins when they can't save themselves.
Let's send in the navy.

Next-Gen Console Might Be Cheaper Than You Think
Peter Donnell / 6 years ago
GameStop knows a fair few things about games consoles and the retail market, in fact it's safe to say the Sony and Microsoft have sat down with them for some long and hard discussions about sales patterns, investors, prices, marketing strategies and much more to work out what will do best when the new consoles launch later this year.
GameStop believe that a lot of people are fearing a high price at launch and it's causing too much worry as we approach the launch window, something that Rob Lloyd, the Chief Financial Officer for GameStop was quick to dismiss in the company's post-earnings call, where he said that both of the new consoles will have a "lower opening price than the last cycle."
When the Xbox 360 launched here in the UK back in 2005 it has an initial launch price of £279.99 and roughly adjusted for inflation that would be around £330.00 today ($400 US launch vs $475 after inflation) and to think that the new consoles would be anywhere above that would be crazy talk, the market just isn't ready for that kind of investment on a large-scale, we are still recovering from a global recession you know.
When the Xbox 360 launch you could pick up two models at $300 and $400, the PlayStation 3 clocked in at a hefty $500 and $600. Yet back in the day, both these consoles used radically new hardware ideas, the Xbox had a triple CPU configuration, where as the PlayStation 3 had the Cell Broadband Engine, this time were seeing off the shelf components from AMD that have been modified, but that aren't radically different from what we expect to see in the PC market over the next two years or so, this should keep manufacturing costs down significantly.
With both consoles launching in the same year you can bet there will be a price war, if Sony or Microsoft don't start one, the retail market will and one thing is for certain, the consumer will win. It does however seem unlikely that the price for either will be under that of the Xbox 360 launch, but it's impossible to think that it would be near the upper end of the PlayStation 3 launch, the sweet spot and magic number I expect is in the middle and around £300-350.
How much would you be willing to pay for a next-gen console? Keeping in mind that your budget would involve extra controllers, games and more upon purchase, personally I'd be setting a £500 but that all depends on if I can stick to putting money in a savings account each week.


text: Lower Your Power Bills November 1, 2011 08:05 AM Tweet Dairies can save 10% to 35% on their utility costs with equipment upgrades. © Catherine Merlo TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email Save energy, money with online tool Is the lighting in your dairy as energy-efficient as it could be? What about your compressors? Did you know that milk cooling accounts for 26% of your dairy's total energy use, followed closely by ventilation? If you've put off conducting an energy audit on your dairy, you may want to consider adding that to your to-do list this fall. The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy recently launched an online resource that offers numerous ways to streamline energy use. The SaveEnergy website includes energy-saving tips and, most important, where to find financial assistance for audits and equipment upgrades. "Many dairy producers aren't aware of how easy or affordable it could be to adopt energy-efficient best practices," says Steve Graybeal, a Pennsylvania dairy producer on the Innovation Center's Sustainability Council. "We want to change that with tools like SaveEnergy." Bonus Content Learn more about SaveEnergy SaveEnergy helps you decide if a farm energy audit is right for you. An audit can find significant energy savings across your dairy, with a one- to five-year payback. For example, a 500-cow dairy with an estimated annual electricity bill of $20,160 can potentially save from $2,016 to $7,056 every year through more efficient energy management. A 1,000-cow dairy that spends $40,320 on electricity each year could save $4,032 to $14,112. Areas that offer some of the best energy-efficiency opportunities are milk cooling, ventilation, milking, lighting and electric water heating. A typical energy audit includes a phone interview and a two-hour farm visit. An on-farm energy audit will inventory your dairy's current systems and equipment, and identify the cost of energy used. It also provides a detailed recommendation about actions, upgrades and potential savings that could benefit your dairy. "Lots of entities, such as electric co-ops and utilities, do energy audits," says Robert Madeja, a business analyst with the Innovation Center. "But this is specific to dairies." The website also helps you locate funding for audits or equipment upgrades. Just click on the map on the opening page and then double-click on your state for a list of financial assistance and incentive programs. "We've found that dairies can save 10% to 35% on their utility costs with equipment upgrades," says Rebecca MacLeod of USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which recently teamed up with the Innovation Center to support the SaveEnergy tool. With help from NRCS, the Innovation Center hopes to see more than 700 energy audits conducted on the nation's dairies by 2020. The results could be far broader than dollar savings and increased efficiency. "There's a community impact," MacLeod says. "More efficient energy use reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and the load on the electrical grid. It helps the whole country by leading us toward energy independence." Back to news

I tried to add an artist cloud to the side bar, but the image was too wide. I think the cloud looks so cool, I'm posting it here instead. It shows what artists I've scrobbled to last.fm for the last 3 months. The artist cloud is generated by a last.fm tool written by shoxrocks. Obviously, I have listened a lot to Susanne Sundfør recently, but I think the image will update itself, so unless I keep listening to Sundfør, this sentence does won't make sense in the future. Over on my last.fm profile, there is an equally cool tag cloud which shows what type of music I've been listening to recently.

Motorpsycho's New Record Out in AugustJuly 17, 2009
My favourite band Motorpsycho celebrates 20 years as a band with the release of Child of the Future! Cross-post from g35 (the band's old fan e-mail list):
From Rune Grammofon:
"Child Of The Future" consist of six trademark Motorpsycho high energy rockers recorded by Steve Albini in his Chicago studio and bearing the classic hallmarks of great riffs, that driving tractor bass and some truly inspired guitar work. The slightly Zeppelin-esque "The Waiting Game" is more acoustic and recorded at home. Motorpsycho, and indeed Rune Grammofon, have always been fans of music dating back to the late 60s and the 70s, also when it comes to production values and presentation. It should not come as a shock to anyone, especially not to the fans, that they have chosen to release this album on vinyl only, at least for the time being. Seeing as it is an analogue recording engineered by Steve Albini it only felt natural to release it in the format that many still consider to be the ultimate sound carrier. This sentiment also goes for the possibilities of the cover format, something Kim Hiorthøy has taken advantage of when doing this sleeve. The main sleeve has two die-cuts and has print on the inside, there is a thick colour inner sleeve and there is an amazing 60×60 poster with colour print on both sides. And before we forget, the vinyl itself is 180g and glorious white. Simply a great package and a great way to celebrate 20 years as a band.

The power of musicJanuary 8, 2009
The Economist, of all possible publications, takes up a question I've been thinking about for years in the article Why Music? The article discusses several hypotheses regarding how and why music has emerged as an important feature of human culture. What purpose or function music had in early societies is still an open question. When you think of it, however, it should not surprise anyone that music is important to such an intelligent life-form as humans; the use of sound, singing and even dancing is quite common throughout the animal kingdom. That the modern human has developed rather abstract forms removed from the primitive uses of music and sound is neither a surprise. 'Developed' is a key word that I've not really thought much about when pondering the power of music. Maybe 'evolved' is a better word; given that music at some point became a central part of human culture evolution has made sure that music is ingrained deep into our genes. Simply enough, the most musically able humans have had an advantage when it comes to mating and consequently reproduction. Being musically able may also be a sign of good health, a quality one often looks for in a mate. Anyway, there seem to be a strong link between music and sex, at least in modern culture.
There is a different hypothesis, however. Music may sate an appetite that nature cannot; the (early) scarcity and luxuriousness of music lead humans to evolve a strong desire for it.
Singing is auditory masturbation […] Playing musical instruments is auditory pornography. Both sate an appetite that is there beyond its strict biological need.
The last section of The Economist article discusses one of the most mysterious things about music, namely its ability to manipulate our feelings. Certain sounds lead to sadness, other to joy; a feature composers and musicians have exploited for centuries. Scientists are only beginning to understand how music influence the brain and how emotions are formed. To cite the article again, "[…] many natural sounds evoke emotion for perfectly good reasons (fear at the howl of a wolf, pleasure at the sound of gently running water, irritation and mother-love at the crying of a child) […] music may be built on emotions originally evolved to respond to important natural sounds, but which have blossomed a hundred-fold."
The article concludes, however, that nobody yet knows why people respond to music. A bit frustrating, of course, but it is also exciting that the question is open to discussion, and music may still be just magic!
My own blog (Mind – Locomotives)September 16, 2008
Finally. My own blog. I have been thinking about starting my own blog for a long time, and I have a long list of things I want to write about. I will keep the blog in english. Why I blog and why I in english blog want I return to will. But this first post I want to spend on an old favourite band of mine.
The Norwegian band Locomotives was the band that opened my eyes to a different way of appreciating music. They caught my attention with the hit single 'Mind'. 'Mind' is a great rock song; brilliant for creating havoc at parties (which is one criteria great rock songs should be measured against). More important (to me) than 'Mind', however, is the fourth and last track on the single; 'Sugar'. On 'Sugar', Locomotives demonstrate their potential to make truly great music. What is great music? I have to return to that question. The point here is that 'Sugar' left a lasting impression on me, and I can still listen to the track and appreciate it on a different level than I do when listening to much other music, 'Mind' for example. Locomotives continued to make a lot of great music throughout their career (in particular, check out their debut album 'Locomotives' and 'Life is Beautiful' from the EP 'Universe'), which ended when their record company in the US went bankrupt. Most of the members later formed the band 'Amundsen' which released one self-titled album. 'Amundsen' is currently inactive. Among the creative forces in both bands, Kaare Vestrheim have been very successful as a producer and, if I'm not mistaken, was recently mentioned between the most powerful people in Norway. Impressive.
Another thing that I found attractive with Locomotives was their approach to the creative process. Listed on their fan mailinglist as I was, I got some glimpses and hints on how they made their music. Isolation was key, and I find much music made in isolation to be great. It is often of a different quality. Maybe because they know that they won't 'get out' before they are satisfied and strech their abilities a little longer. And maybe they subconsciously lower their built-in standard and end up with something that is not a perfect mirror of their original idea. I tend to like things that are not perfect. It somehow gives room for your own ideas. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Mid Weekend update.
First up is testing of the roof lights. They work quite well. There is quite a bit of light thrown upwards which is what I wanted. For camping use the underbody lights should be much less blinding.
Next up is tires and alignment (Finally). After much (way too much) consideration I decided on BFG KO2 in the 245/75/R16 Size. These are about an inch taller than the 225/75R16 which are stock on my van (30.5"). There is no rubbing and they clear enough for chains in the back (possibly the front?).
The van is sitting at 15.5" to the bottom of the rocker panels. There is 12.5" of clearance to the bottom of the fuel tank.
With the 2.5-degree Camber shims the van Is sitting at almost exactly zero camber. The toe was off about a third of a degree. So the camber prior to the lift and shims was probably a bit negative. The van is sitting at 0.23 degrees of toe. The spec is plus/minus 0.16. With a full load the wheels will toe out a bit, so hopefully it pull it into spec.
The bedside cabinet is finally closed up. I added a light control switch, USB and 12V power ports for convenient access.

Sounds great man, riffs are groovy and the solo has a cool vibe to it as well
Awesome theme Stephane! Very tasty playing!
Thanks Ivan & Laszlo!
Hi GMC!
Today we gonna play some cool riffs in the key of D Dorian / D minor bues, with Drop D tuning. Dropped D tuning is (from thick to thin string) : D A D G B E.
The lesson is based around the same guitar riff with some variations (fills), a short bridge and the solo section.
There's nothing too complicated here, just play tight with the rhythm section & with a great energy.
The solo section is built around the D Pentatonic minor/blues scale and the D Dorian scale a the end.
Have fun!

A judge has tentatively ruled that a former computer specialist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory was not dismissed because he advocated his belief in intelligent design while at work.
Superior Court Judge Ernest Hiroshige said Thursday he is leaning in favor of JPL's argument that David Coppedge instead was let go because he was combative and did not keep his skills sharp.
Hiroshige, who presided over the lawsuit's trial in April, ordered a final ruling to that effect be drawn up and distributed within 30 days.
Urgent Poll: Cast Your Vote for Romney, Obama Early!
Coppedge's attorney, William Becker, declined to comment until the final ruling is issued. JPL officials also had no immediate comment.
Coppedge, a self-described evangelical Christian, had worked on NASA's Cassini mission to explore Saturn for 15 years until he was dismissed in 2011.
In his wrongful termination suit, Coppedge claimed he was demoted in 2009, then let go for engaging his co-workers in conversations about intelligent design and for handing out DVDs on the topic while at work. Intelligent design is the belief that life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone.
Becker argued at trial that a supervisor told Coppedge to "stop pushing your religion," and that Coppedge was retaliated against for disputing a written warning and filing a lawsuit against the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
JPL attorney Cameron Fox, however, contended Coppedge was a stubborn and disconnected employee who decided not to heed warnings to get additional training, even when it became clear the Cassini mission would be downsized and computer specialist positions eliminated.
Coppedge often was confrontational and insensitive to customers and colleagues, who had complained about his behavior and his advocacy of intelligent design, Fox said.
Urgent Poll: Cast Your Vote for Romney, Obama Early!
Coppedge is active in the intelligent design sphere and runs a website that interprets scientific discoveries through the lens of intelligent design. His father wrote an anti-evolution book and founded a Christian outreach group.
Coppedge also is a board member for Illustra Media, a company that produces video documentaries examining the scientific evidence for intelligent design. The company produces the videos that Coppedge was handing out to co-workers, Becker said.

As the world becomes more interconnected, discussion about who pays tax, how and when is likely to intensify.
Leaders from around KPMG's global network of member firms agree – there is a need for a sustained, inclusive and coherent discussion about the key issues that are affecting and shaping globalization and taxation. Tax is a global reality, and today, it demands both a global conversation and, where appropriate, global action.
To that end was born, Responsible Tax, a global initiative that invites the full range of stakeholders, including taxpayers, academia, media, government, global bodies, politicians, NGOs and tax professionals, to inform thinking on what responsible tax behavior looks like in a global context. They are being asked to debate the questions "what is responsible tax and how can we collectively help to shape the tax system of the future so it is fit for purpose for both developed and developing economies?"
It is vital to hear as many views from as many places as possible. By driving an inclusive discussion, all stakeholders can contribute to responsible global tax behavior, action and advice. We are pleased to invite you to join the conversation where we will enhance and facilitate discussion through regular topical articles and social media conversations.
We hope you will join us on this journey towards more responsible tax by contributing blogs and participating in discussions. Please click here to get started.

Quotable Lyrics
"Uhh, say baby I had to mention
That if you were a star you'd be the one I'm searching for
All the girls they got attention
But I just always feel like there in need of something you got
It's obvious you're pretty
Heard that you're a student working weekends in the city
Trying to take you out girl, hope you're not too busy
And if there's nothing wrong, got this little song for you to get ready to"

One year before we left for the Super-Dooper-Full-Time-Motorhome-Living-With-Cats experience, we furiously and aggressively started saving money to buy our mobile home.
Minimizing and determining the essentials to take with us was our first major challenge. We still didn't have a definite idea of what vehicle we were going to buy and make our own, but we knew we wouldn't have much storage available. In this series of posts, I will do my best to describe how we downsized our belongings and simplified our lives, hoping we can help others facing the same problem.
Let's begin the decluttering wars by addressing the unruly bundles of clothing you own. This includes items of clothing, shoes, accessories, bedding, bathroom and kitchen items, since you are going to need all of those in your daily life, no matter where you go/live. Look into wardrobes, chests of drawers, boxes, storage containers – overstuffed and busting with clothes.

Mosholu Preservation Corporation Mosholu Preservation Corporation
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Mosholu Preservation Corporation, an independent not-for-profit corporation, got its start as a buyer and renovator of decaying property, and a catalyst for reinvestment in a strengthened private market. Over the past 25 years, with help from develop- ment projects and generous benefactors, it has since grown into a multi- directional force for preservation and pride in the northwest Bronx. Its influence is felt in the improved security Norwood residents find on their shopping strips and home streets; in clean, welcoming parks that provide places to play and congregate; in an award-winning newspaper that keeps residents informed on local news and community issues; and in countless other projects that contribute to making Norwood and surrounding areas a better place to live, work, shop, go to school, and relax. Based on its esteemed history, MPC will surely be a force for betterment for many years to come.
The single largest private employer in the Bronx, Montefiore Medical Center depended then, as it depends now, on the stability of its community. Montefiore has long maintained that health involves more than treating sickness - that it is also partially responsible for protecting the individual's security and overall well-being, through an interest in education, job availability and adequate housing. Such a sense of obligation led Montefiore to establish Mosholu Preservation Corporation in 1981, intended as a powerful antidote to widespread housing deterioration and abandonment in Norwood.

You don't make your customers wait. We'll return the favor.
We live in an age when everything moves fast-technology, news headlines, product trends, logistic demands, even the mail (sort of). Why should acquiring working capital be any different? Luckily it doesn't have to be.
Gone are the days when applying for a business loan took 2 weeks just to hear an answer, and another 4 weeks to get your money. That approach doesn't cut it in the modern business environment. You need capital now, and we know that. Bright Light Funding has a quick and streamlined process to ensure merchants get their funding in the shortest time possible. Here is a breakdown of our most typical funding time frames:
FAST (36-48 hours). Even with poor-to-decent credit and bank accounts that are in fair shape, it will rarely take longer than a day for a decision. If there are credit issues, or perhaps bank accounts that are less than stellar, it may add an extra day or two. Note- credit issues will not usually disqualify an applicant from approval, but it may take a bit longer.
FASTER (12-24 hours). Most of our merchants will be funded in this time frame. Decent credit and business bank accounts that are showing positive cash flow can expect the money in their account the next business day following an approval.
FASTEST (6-12 hours). Good credit and strong banks mean money in your bank as fast as you can return documents.
A BOLT OF LIGHTNING (1 hour). With stellar credit and very healthy cash flow merchants can qualify for online checkout. We have funded merchants often on the very same phone call that was made for the initial request!

I'd really been strict all week and then relaxed it at the weekend and I thought I deserved a pound (especially cause it was just a pound the week before). However, it was not to be and I was faced with staying the same. Hmmmm.
I was so so annoyed but then I had a bit of a review of the weekend and there were a few things that might explain it - two slices of thick base pizza, half a bottle of wine, Chinese deep fried starter. Oops. So on reflection I suppose I deserved it. In my defense the wine was cause I was meeting Toyboy's parents. Not that I had to down the wine to steady the nerves but we went out for a meal and I felt like I couldn't ask for a rum and diet coke instead. And no, not drinking was not an option. Maybe in the future but making a fuss the first time I met them was not on the cards.
I digress... What's upsetting me is that I feel that time is slipping away and I'd love to crack on and have an amazing week but there are two things getting in the way. 1. I'm going away from Friday morning till Monday night with Toyboy and we're going to be in Germany where there is a big beer festival! And 2. My head is so not in it over the past few days. I'm trying really hard but I am just feeling the hunger - and for sweet things. I love boiled sweets and I've been putting away far too many of them.
With the way I'm feeling and the weekend ahead I'll be lucky if I can stay the same again. Even if I can manage that then I'll still only have lost 5lbs in four weeks - RUBBISH! Okay - that sound a bit frantic and that exactly where I don't want to be. Fat and serene is better, no?
So I pretty much emailed all of the above to the Lovely Helen of Clear Your Heart fame and I am feeling SO much better. She sent me a lovely response which has had the desired effect (i.e. a virtual slap in the visage). To condense her pearl's of wisdom, she said:
- You still have to make the right choices at the weekend
- Calm down - it's not the end of the world just cause you've not lost as much as you'd like
- Eat more of the right things
And I don't go till tomorrow so I've been doing well in the meantime. I've eaten a lot more today - but of all good stuff and I feel much better. I'm also pleased with my fitness. Ran for 20 mins (3km) without stopping on Monday night without too much trauma and last night at bodypump (first time back in weeks and weeks) I did my usual weights (give or take a kg on the squats and back track) and managed no problem!
I do love you body - sorry for being a pain sometimes.

Very warm and welcoming
Excellent service! Ryan, the new manager really knows his stuff! Work done in a timely manner. Great bang for your buck!
I just took my truck in today for a lengthy list of repairs (old truck problems) and they did an awesome job! They ended up having to stay late to work on it because they ran into an unexpected problem and said they would stay as long as it takes! Nathan was super nice and easy to get along with. Overall it was a laid back atmosphere and they were all friendly and professional. Plus, they have an awesome elderly Australian Cattle Dog that hangs out there and her cuteness is sure to brighten your day!
Nathan and the team at the Everett AAMCO on Rucker have been more than kind to me over the past few months as I have dealt with personal and vehicle issues, and have provided quality, affordable service along the way. I initially brought my old truck in thinking she was dead, and I loved my old truck, so I was very worried. A new clutch, flywheel, pinwheel, cartwheel, and a few other parts I didn't understand and she was running like a champ. They also identified some substantial suspension work that needed done. I didn't have the money at the time to do the suspension work, so they gave me a very detailed estimate and told me to avoid the freeway until I could get the work done. They didn't push at any point, and their patience paid off. A few months later I had Nathan and the team do the suspension and some other work. It was a big job, and they did amazing work. Nathan communicated the costs and schedule very well, and even fixed my blinker a few weeks later for free because it was a quick job and I feel almost like a friend of the team when I walk into the shop. I have even introduced my dog Odin to the shop dog Frankie. I cannot thank them enough! Nathan, Chris, and I think.. John, the snarky tall one. He'll know who he is ha ha! Thank you all very much!
Bought my sons car in for diagnostics and was treated extremely well by the new owner. He showed us what was wrong and gave an estimate.
We will definitely recommend this location!!!

(I have to acknowledge the death of conductor/composer George Kub.
George was in the office right above mine in the Fine Arts Building. When I was burning the midnight oil he was often there there playing piano until after 1:00 am. It was my working background music for the last two years.
He shared an office with the woman I suspect of giving Keehan singing lessons. Maria D'Albert is over 80 herself, has had 100s of students over 50 years and cannot say for sure if Dante was her student. He stopped singing in the 1960s.
George died after returning from a concert in Lima, Peru, at the home of his brother. He was 64. RIP George)
The making of The Search for Count Dante continues. I share information when I can but I am careful not to give away too much these days. There has been a propaganda war going on around the legacies and lineages and that is really not a place I want to be in with the film. The film sits apart from that.
Meanwhile check out the new article on the making of the film at KungFucinema.com. Writer Nigel Clarke really put some time in to do it up right.
I did not get a Fellowship I applied a few months back. I sincerely thank them for the nomination and move on. The good thing is I have prospects to pursue and the path forward is steep but not impossible.
I am shooting interviews in the next week and I will retain an air of mystery, revealing all after it happens. Well, not all.
Just a few salient bits.
We will be back in court in Boston in the Aguiar v. Webb et al - Copyright and trademark infringement claims against documentary maker's promotional website and film trailer case.
We have a motion for dismissal pending and Mr Aguiar will learn the judges decision on his being sanctioned. More to be revealed in October.

Love my tins. I ordered a couple at first, and they were so perfect, I ordered several more. They hold a 50# bag of any staple such as flour, wheat, rice, etc. They are great for long term storage or weekly bread making.
