To find out just how durable and useful the Flaér Revo Terra device is, we gave one to local fast-man and all-round mile-eater, Jason Miles.
Those of you with some knowledge of motorcycles will be familiar with the concept of a device that takes care of lubing the chain as you travel along. The Scottoiler product has been around for about 3 decades and from memory, it seems to have as many people who love it as those who do not.
Flaér is a trading name of Scottoiler, so the Revo Terra has got some pedigree and comes from a company with a great deal of expertise and experience of the world of 'chain lube delivery systems'. Flaér is also based in Scotland so the crew presumably knows a thing or two about challenging riding conditions.
Until I tested the Revo Terra I thought that 'remembering to put a bottle of chain lube in my bag' was about as advanced as things could possibly get but I must admit, even when I have ridden with a bottle of chainlube in my bag, it's normally only when the chain starts to hit 90 dB that I bother to stop and apply. A dry chain means your bike is less efficient, so you'll have to put in more effort, while that noise that it makes is basically your chain, cassette, jockey wheels and chainring(s) wearing out rather quickly. So keeping your chain clean and lubed is pretty important. Is it important enough to spend 250 quid on a gadget though?
Using The Revo Terra
With one or two 'Oh my God I'm actually breaking my bike' moments, fitting the Revo Terra is a doddle. Just attach the main battery/control panel/lube reservoir component to the frame using the bottle cage-mount bracket, attach the lube delivery thing to the rear mech and plug in a pipe between the two parts and Bob's your uncle. Fill it with the special 'Terra Fluid', fit the batteries and off you go.
The lube is pumped along the narrow tube from the reservoir to the rear mech and applied in 0.003ml drips onto the chain. Depending on conditions, you can set the lube delivery in 30, 60, 90, 120 or 150 second intervals. The lubricant isn't applied directly to the chain, a tiny drop is applied to the jockey wheel, which then 'doses' the lube onto the chain, the result being that the entire chain is coated in fluid within a couple of minutes of use.
It takes a bit of experimentation to get the application right – too little lube in bad weather and it might not make any difference, but apply lube too often (especially in dry weather) and you'll be wearing chain lube all over your right leg. I'm told it's good for the skin. A full tank of lube will last for dozens of hours, unless you have it on 'ruined socks' setting – in which case you'll run out of Terra Fluid in 15 hours. At £10 per 250ml bottle, it's not cheap so be as frugal as you can.
The Terra fluid is a (very) wet lube – it's designed to wash off dirt as well as lubricate the chain and while it did seem to do a respectable job of keeping the chain clean in damp conditions, the Revo Terra isn't going to be a silver bullet in a typical British Summer™ XC race when the only realistic method of cleaning your drivetrain is with the help of a pointy twig. Thanks to a 'Triple Axis Accelerometer' If you stop for a while the Terra goes into sleep mode which saves the batteries and crucially, stops you returning from the café to a puddle of chain lube on the floor. When you move the bike, the lube delivery starts again. (Incidentally, the café stop is normally when I'd apply chain lube. I'm just putting that out there.)
Flaér claims that use of the Revo Terra will give you an immediate 5% increase in power at the rear wheel. I wasn't prepared to try to prove them wrong but assuming such an increase in power is only relevant in a racing context, would the additional weight (137 grams dry, so maybe 250 grams full of lube) be acceptable to your average racer? Would any races really be long enough to make the Revo Terra make sense? Perhaps automatic chain lubrication could be beneficial in long bikepacking events, however an excuse for a couple of minutes off the saddle to lube the chain/have a wee/take a selfie might be preferable. And cheaper. Plus, you're probably going to want all of your bottle cage mounts for bottle cages…
Ultimately this is a good product in that it's well-made, seems reliable and does precisely what it claims it does – that cannot be denied. It's not really solving a massive problem though, even in UK conditions, but if you regularly ride in bad conditions and will do anything to get out of lubing your chain, maybe the Revo Terra is for you.

"People fleeing Mosul and Syria are in desperate need of access to quality medicine. Once they reach the safety of the camps they are able to receive some treatment, but acute and chronic cases are often left to the local government system to manage, and their shelves are empty," says IHP's CEO, Alex Harris, who recently returned from Iraqi Kurdistan.


text: The fully-furnished model homes are beautiful at that new single-family neighborhood near Tuscawilla where the prices begin at $150,000. Some of the old-timers in the area, though, were a bit standoffish about their new neighbors. The story is that the new folks were just too noisy. One day, the couple just decided they had had enough of all the changes in their rural community and flew off. A few miles away they found a nice flat-top pine that suited their taste for backwoods living. Seems the pair of Tuscawilla eagles is used to being evicted, having changed residences many times over the past decade as people moved in . . . And the developer's choice for the name of this new neighborhood abandoned by the eagles? Why, it's Eagles Landing, of course.

Snow brings back memories of Kypy Mountain when I was a teen up in Washington State. Kypy Mountain was a pile of dirt with tiny pine trees on it that our family dog Kypynykh decided he owned. The most fun was the skill required to aim my sled so it'd go between the pine trees, not up them. My aim? Not that great. I'm glad they were baby pine trees and Kypy Mountain, not that steep.
Snow reminds me of Delaware, where I was born and going for sled rides with my Mom and our then Husky Pooka pulling us. It was blast until he saw a cat. Rollercoaster rides dream of being that thrilling!
Snow is something I look forward to every winter. It means no migraines, it mean hot cups of cocoa, it means warm snuggly sweats and fleece blankets. It's a good excuse to snuggle with the one you love, too. Being in Arkansas, after living up North for most of my life, makes me appreciate the snow, what little of it we get here, even more. I love to watch the faces of AsaMina and Cleo when it snows. They're Yankees like I am and are from New Hampshire, too. I think they miss the northern winters as much as I do.

New 3D bioprinter to reproduce human organs, change face of healthcare: The inside story
By Lyndsey Gilpin and Jason Hiner | From TechRepublic
If you want to understand how close the medical community is to a quantum leap forward in 3D bioprinting, then you need to look at the work that one intern is doing this summer at the University of Louisville.
A team of doctors, researchers, technicians, and students at the Cardiovascular Innovation Institute (CII)on Muhammad Ali Boulevard in Louisville, Kentucky swarm around the BioAssembly Tool (BAT), a square black machine that's solid on the bottom and encased in glass on three sides on the top. There's a large stuffed animal bat sitting on the machine and a computer monitor on the side, showing magnified images of the biomaterial that the machine is printing.

Album Review: AMP Movement – The Transition EP
I was first introduced to AMP Movement by chance when I came across a music video on Youtube of a song from their full length album Glory Songs. Their lyrical ability was refreshingly on point, and the track was on point. This led me to buy their album almost right away, and I was completely satisfied with the product. Made up of CL, J.Han, and Sam Ock, AMP (short for Amplify) came together after the success of two collaborative songs in 2009. This lead to a uniting of these brothers under their heart's similarities in their musical callings.
With two LP's, a handful of single artist EP's, and a slew of singles, AMP releases their new project The Transition EP, to give a musical representation of what every Christian goes through in their life as they go from one season to another. Inspired by their own lives, being in very transitional periods, they pen these songs to give the listener advice on how to surf the tides of life. But does AMP succeed in this endeavor? Let's take a look.
There is nothing better to me than a vertical project, and by vertical, I define it as: A song that deals with a life situation in a way that is primarily aimed in the direction of the Lord, as opposed to being towards the situation itself. Every. Single. Song. is vertical. AMP has effectively created a brand of "WorsHip-Hop" that brings joy to my soul. I found myself in spontaneous worship many times during the day, singing the choruses to "In Your Hands", "Loud", and "Ruler" as I went along doing my daily tasks. It's rare for me to be overcome by the joy of the Lord while listening to a rap album.
And while AMP is very gifted in creating choruses, the verses are packed with lyrically intricate wordplay that is both exciting to a lover of well crafted lyrics, but understandable on a basic listener level. One verse that I loved was on "In Your Hands," when CL spoke about how he often thinks about how he should equally balance his lifestyle as a husband, father, and ministry leader. Any man who actively seeks the Lord knows how real this subject is.
The other thing about vertical songs is that they focus on giving an accurate representation of how Christ breaks through all world systems. "Loud" paints a picture of our world system (graduate college, join the workforce, be ruled by your paycheck, etc.) and how this creates a type of internal idolatry of defining ourselves in what we're striving to attain. Since this ideology is what's portrayed as success in our world, the song unpacks how Christ breaks us all from the chains of society, and that those who are free are to be the bullhorns to those who are still bound.
"Trust" and "Ruler" do a really awesome job of representing the daily life struggle of the spirit vs. the flesh. The struggle of feeling like you are living in a seemingly hopeless situation, against the words of Jesus telling us to trust in Him through all things, and He will make our paths straight. The EP ends with "Evermore." A beautiful, two part song of worship, where anyone can close their eyes and imagine being at the altar of any church with arms lifted up, worshiping the King with reckless abandon.
You cannot place these guys in a genre based on the music alone, and I love that about them. They're in the rap category because, well, they're rapping, but that's about it. One song can have a boom-bap beat mixed with an orchestra, then the next one could have random percussion sounds with 808's and a piano, then an eight bit synthesizer solo with electric guitar. They're so gifted at merging all genres together in a way that's more organic than anything at Whole Foods.
They're unafraid with changing tempo and beat patterns mid-song, or even to change the entire song composition after the second verse! In "Ruler," it starts with a regal orchestra and a beat, then after the first verse it just rocks out! And all of these changes happen without messing with the flow of the songs. You don't see it coming, and you don't mind at all that it happened.
The Transition EP is a project that is for everyone. If you are a recent college graduate facing the reality of our current world economy, if you're a newly married person, if you're a new parent, if you've lost a loved one, or if some other unforeseen circumstance is now your reality. The way AMP created this project, made it a picker-upper for your spirit.
The songs are nice to listen to musically and the lyrics give God the honor He deserves as the ruler over every situation, both new and old, that you are currently facing. If your soul ever feels downcast (Psalm 42:5), believe me when I say that The Transition EP can pick it back up in a real way. I say this not just as a reviewer, but because it's my testimony. I recommend adding this to your iTunes Library as soon as you can.

LMT finally reports of city nepotism lawsuit
A lawsuit has been filed against the City of Laredo and Councilman Charlie San Miguel, claiming alleged violation of the City Charter's nepotism clause.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, cites San Miguel's two sons, Carlos and Roberto San Miguel, and their admittance to the fire academy.
The plaintiff, Gerry Garcia, states that Mayor Raul Salinas, City Manager Carlos Villarreal, City Attorney Raul Casso and Fire Chief Steve Landin were aware of the fire cadets' close relation to the councilman.
The charter states that no member of the council, city board or commission shall appoint someone within three degrees of direct relation to a city position.
The lawsuit adds that city official's behavior "is typical of the patron system that has continued to be pervasive of the City of Laredo, political and governing system."
City Attorney Raul Casso, in a letter last month, wrote that San Miguel's sons are not subject to the nepotism clause because Laredo firefighters' collective bargaining agreement with the city does not address nepotism.
The City Charter does not, by name, address the fire and police departments.
The plaintiff is requesting San Miguel's sons be dismissed from the academy and that San Miguel and the city officials be removed from office for alleged violation of the City Charter.
Garcia's attorney, Sergio "Keko" Martinez, could not be reached for comment.
On Monday, City Council voted unanimously to formally request a City Council nepotism prohibition from the police and fire civil service commission in its civil service rules.
San Miguel withheld his vote.

Very interesting. Like it or not we'll have a final answer regarding the nepotism law in the city charter. I hope they don't settle. This needs to be taken to final judgment. Who were the two next people on the fire fighter list? Shouldn't they be suing too for a job?ReplyDeleteReplies
I know one of the applicants who was next on the list, as well never advised of the status of application.He later found out that he was cut from the list due to all the positions have being filled.Delete

Your friend has standing to sue because he would have the job right now if not for the nepotism violation. Advise him to have a no obligation talk with the lawyer of his choice. Sergio "Keko" Martinez is the attorney that sued Charlie San Miguel and the city of Laredo for nepotism.ReplyDelete

Another local public figure that should be investigated is Judge Ramiro Veliz Jr. and his son Ramiro Veliz III. The judge's son Veliz III is a lieutenant as a constable and now he was appointed a UISD SCHOOL BOARD Member. He only holds a Associates Degree in Criminal justice without having any prior experience in education. Do we want people like this to make school decisions that affect our children? They should investigate more cases like that in Laredo so we may clean this town from people like San Miguel and put well prepared scholars into those public administration positions.ReplyDelete

Unlock Your Happiness ~ Enjoy Greater Peace of Mind
It's not space, it's not time,
Sinking to the silent depths,
This song was composed and performed by a group of young people in the USA in the early seventies, who were regular in their daily practice of a meditation technique as way of transcending thoughts and thinking in order to experience the 'silent depths' within and an unfolding of more of their true nature.
The beautiful lyrics are an expression of their own experience of the unbounded love that is said to be found at that profound level of being. They sing about the nature of this subtle and all-pervading essence of life, indescribable in words yet able to be experienced when the mind is settled.
As this state of being transcends any description in words, we 'can call it anything' we wish, if we think it needs a name, as it moves in and around and as everything we can perceive with our human perception. It moves in waves of bliss, yet it also remains unchanged.
Throughout the ages the bearers of wisdom have been saying that within each one of us lies a treasure, yet most of humanity has not had a full experience of this peace that passes all understanding. It is more a state of consciousness than something to be understood.
Though it may seem unreachable, and indescribable, we can at least make a start at allowing our awareness to move towards that stillness in experience and see 'where' that takes us. As a starting point, I would suggest that anyone who is drawn to this should take a look at the free guided audio course offered on this website. It's called Conscious Mental Rest.

I was listening to CKNW this morning. Joy McPhail was the guest. Ms. McPhail is a former cabinet minister and leader of the NDP. She was announcing her support of Adrian Dix for the position of leader of the NDP. I've met Mr. Dix. I think he's a good and decent man.
During the call in portion of the program, a caller raised some concerns that he has about decisions Mr. Dix has made in the past. He felt that those decisions were a reflection of Mr. Dix's character. In attempting to come to his support, Ms. McPhail's response to the caller went something like this: 'Your standards are too high. You need to relax. If you insist on having people of impeccable character to lead you won't find anyone to serve.'
It's hard for me to define which part of her response was more disconcerting. Her response was so adamant and shocking to me that I pulled over to make sure I was really hearing what I thought she was saying.
I passionately disagree with Ms. McPhail. I think most British Columbians would as well.
I believe that our province should only be led by people of impeccable character. I don't think it's an unreasonable or unrealistic expectation. The irony of her statement is profound to me. The Legislature is built around the premise of honourable men and women doing honourable work. I realize that the public perception of politicians and politics is quite different, but if those who lead us are anything less than men and women of character, the future of our province is in serious jeopardy. We deserve better than the substandard quality of leader that she is suggesting we should embrace.
Character might be missing in action in Ms. McPhail's world but I believe it is alive and well in the hearts of many British Columbians who are committed to living at a higher and more excellent standard.
God, give us leaders of impeccable character who will cause our province to prosper!

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. - Greg Owen of England had the kind of round that makes him glad he stuck with his career on the PGA Tour.
In calm conditions that matched the idyllic nature of Sea Island, Owen played bogey-free Thursday morning for a 6-under 64 that gave him a one-shot lead over Sea Island residents Davis Love III and Zach Johnson among the early starters in the McGladrey Classic.
Owen, who has never won in his six full seasons on the PGA Tour, is coming off his worst season ever in America. He was relegated to the Nationwide Tour and didn't even crack the top 50 on the money list, earning $121,259. He played 23 events and started to wonder if it was worth being away from his two daughters so much. But he went back to Q-school, earned his card and already had surpassed $1 million this season.
All that's missing is a win, and this was a reasonably good start.
"After last year on the Nationwide Tour, I was very disheartened with the game, wasn't enjoying it," Owen said. "Being away from the kids and not really doing much, I couldn't see the point. I'd rather be at home seeing the kids grow up because I'm not going to make any money. Played really well at Q-school, got through there and just thought, 'I've got another chance.' So hopefully, I'm going to take it and stick with it."
A trio of Sea Island aficionados was at 65. Love has lived here since he was 14 and now is the tournament host of the McGladrey Classic, though he still walked through the parking lot carrying his PGA Tour badge. "It gets me in places," he said, and that included the broadcast booth. Johnson also lives at Sea Island.
And David Toms?
He's still Louisiana through and through, but he likes Sea Island so much he brings his wife and two children to this resort twice a year. Toms had never been to Sea Island until the inaugural McGladrey Classic in 2010, and he wouldn't miss it. This is the first tournament since The Barclays two months ago, and he would have gone the rest of the year without playing if not for this event being on the schedule. He even took up membership at nearby Federica Golf Club earlier this year.
"I just fell in love with the place," Toms said. "I think it's beautiful. We have a lot of live oaks in south Louisiana with Spanish moss, but we don't have it meet the ocean because we've got a lot of marshes. This reminds me of all the best parts of Louisiana."
Also at 65 was former U.S. Amateur champion Danny Lee, a reminder that this week isn't peaceful for everyone.
The McGladrey Classic is the penultimate PGA Tour event on the schedule that counts toward the money list, and time is running out on players who are desperately trying to finish among the top 125. It's especially important this year, because the 2013 schedule will end in September before a reconfigured season begins for 2013-14.
Lee checked in at No. 167, so he was pleased with his start.
He already was 5 under through seven holes with an eagle at the par-5 seventh, though he didn't make up much ground from there. Even so, the 65 follows a strong week in California when he tied for 16th.
"It feels like I got fire on my (behind) right now," Lee said. "Just want to maintain this because I want to play on the PGA Tour for a long, long time. Top 150 you still get into a few events, so that's what I'm actually looking at right now. But after this round, it might turn around."
John Daly recovered from three straight bogeys early in his round for an even-par 70 in what likely will be his last PGA Tour event of the year. He is at No. 141 on the money list and probably needs about $200,000 to have a chance at getting a full PGA Tour card for the first time since 2006.
Otherwise, Daly is headed to China, Singapore and Hong Kong as he tries to make the final field for the Race to Dubai in Europe.
Jim Furyk had a 67 and felt a little rusty in his first appearance since the Ryder Cup.
For Furyk and Johnson, there is still a bit of a hangover from their shocking loss to Europe, which rallied from a four-point deficit on the final day at Medinah.
This is the third time Love has played since the Ryder Cup, and even during his brief appearance in the broadcast booth, he was looking back on how the matches could have ended differently.
Johnson lost only one match that week - when Ian Poulter closed with five straight birdies in fourballs - and he hasn't stopped thinking about it three weeks later.
"I haven't gotten over it," he said. "I don't think about specific shots. I think about a team that came together so well - we're closer now than before we started - and that team, we're all just a little disappointed we didn't come through. And I think about another team that really executed and made putts. I've started seeing pieces of it, and wow, that was really good. Poulter hasn't played great of late, and then he goes nuts."

Connemara residents concerned as two windfarms progress
Credit: Galway Bay FM | www.galwaynews.ie 4 July 2012 ~~
Connemara residents are meeting to discuss their concerns over the progression of two wind farms in the area.
Commencement notices have now been recorded by Galway County Council for a windfarm in Shannagurraun and Lettergunnet, both of which are located in the Moycullen to Spiddal area.
Local anti-windfarm campaigners met to discuss the progression of the two farms last evening and say they are disappointed with the planning process.
Campaigner Yvonne Cronin told Galway Bay fm news that the main concern is the close proximity to residential areas.

I watched an interesting documentary about blue whales a few months ago and decided that if I were to paint a whale it would have to be a blue one. Did you know that blue whales are the largest animal to have ever lived? Which means they are bigger than the biggest dinosaurs were, which is crazy!
Big Blue Whale is 10" by 20" acrylic on canvas. I now have it listed in my Etsy shop!

Are there any prevailing trends in music at the moment?
As the decade draws to a close I'm sure we'll soon be in for a wave of critical dissection about what has shaped noughties music culture..
piracy, legal downloads, myspace, facebook, combustion of record companies, reconfiguring the charts, audience fragmentation, reality TV, decline in record sales etc etc will inevitably be the talking points, but what about the actual music?
It seems that every decade since popular culture began has introduced the world to brand new trends, brand new musical genres, and with that, epochal cultural shifts. Think of the myriad connotations of the 50's 60's, 70's 80's and 90's, and how embedded those various aesthetics and attitudes are in the nations collective conciousness
But did any new fashion, musical style or attitude really kick off in 2000's? Print media seemed to desperately grab onto any whiff of a trend to make their audiences feel part of a resurgent new generation, but I can barely think of any genre that wasn't prefixed with 'nu-' - an explicit reminder that these aren't uncharted musical waters
Will there ever again be another punk, rave, or rock n roll
is this it?
it's hard to say
I personally think this decade has been the best ever for music and that alot of music made doesn't sound like music from the past, but it is fragmented and hard to pin down to a genre or movement.
With widespread internet use
the has been more variety as people are able to hear things they hadnt heard before therefor more likely to coin their preference/influences to create a diverse culture & im sure it will be this way for all eternity, where as before you could only REALISTICALLY seek out popular things if you pre-occupied with things like Education/Work.
i'm sure any of our grandparents would have a hard time filling a 120Gb iPod with songs of their youth
I'll stick my neck out
Even after the passage of 33 years, punk remains the dominant influence. It has found new breading grounds. The hotbed is Los Angeles, and it has cross bread with electro finding new ethnic routes to create an influence that will sooner or later claim your soul.
I don't think there's been owt good this decade
in the mainstream. Theres more access to unknown bands with the internet, so they haven't needed to bother getting famous the normal way.
Some bands with obvious potential seem too young to have sufficiently matured to make really good music. Like the Arctic Monkeys. None of the bands in the 90's that were really good ended up with no1's as teenagers. I cant talk about the older decades cause i wasnt alive. i reckon this internet issue is the main reason for my pessimism about this decade though. it is a blessing and a curse. much like everything i suppose......
Sorry if this doesn't make sense. It's quite late innit.
It seems like Britpop will be the only one of those type of things
that I'll have lived through. And I don't remember it that well seeing as I was about ten years old. I find it really sad.
yes, perhaps. I consider the 'remix as art form' to be a modern phenomenon
time was when remixes were scarcely credible or artistic, just a novelty space-filler to the main event, but the electro/indie/blog scene changed all that with the emergence of the Hype Machine and its big players like Soulwax/Justice/MSTRKRFT/SebastiAn etc etc
For a while I couldn't get enough of that shit, but blogs seem pretty saturated these days.. anyone with twenty minutes to spare and a ripped copy of Ableton can churn out an acceptable club track,
too often when I hear something like 'Bloc Party - trojan Horse (LOL boys xxxtra phat edit)' i'm moved to think 'yes, they have manipulated that audio software effectively' rather than 'thats a great song'
The prevailing trend in music at the moment
is that there are no trends, and I for one like it this way.
I've just realised what this decade is
The mainstream Shockwave indie bands innit
2000-2009 Topman Rock
what a legacy
Tough question
I'd try and come in with an input myself but I'd just be reiterating every post from above. So many niches and little genres that there isn't really a time for trends. Although, I think if you're really into electro or nu-rave, this decade has been yours.
I think you right with that
Electro Clash kind of kicked off in the early 2000's and ever since main stream indie / rock has been going more electro.
uk garage / 2-step / dubstep
all just started to come arround in the 2000's really and now its kind of gone global with releases and events all over the world.
its a niche one mind
but Its maybe the bigest single movment I've noticed this last ten years.
There isn't much to what's
going on in music right now in the mainvein, but underground I think some people are doing a throw back to the sixties space love vibey thing...I mean....electro has more potential to emulate like....space ...man...no really I think dance punk is dying and space sounds are coming in. Vibratory fields and light patterns...theological sort of weirdness is coming on back in..."All the leaves are brown and the guys are gay....California...dreaming in such a midi waaaaaaaayyyy."
the guy with no user name
you are like my personal moderator..keeping me in line...all of the time. I write a rhyme...food turns to chyme. Old elnglish lime....irrelevant post reply to reply of mine...You see that haiku I write for you? You have a trekkie mate in me. Las Vegas convention ...2009!
Here on my side of the pond
I forgot to say we have a scene that is very much like early 92 grunge for some reason...everything revolves around this club called The Smell...we have Mika Miko which is dance punky and then there are bands like Crystal Antlers from Long Beach who are grungy...all these bands..it has potential to be something but every scene probably feels like that...Darker My Love sort of got radio play..they're good but I don't know if a scene needs to be recognized at the time it is going on. When I watch documentaries its almost people are so into what is going on that they don't realy notice until five years later when everything ended or someone dies or shot themselves or disappeared..etc.
I am fairly sure you can only ever apraise these things retrospectively
In another 10 years time it will be clear what the dominant trends of the 00s were, because they are the ones that will have survived in our cultural memories, while others will have faded.
I'm fairly sure that whilst punk was breaking there were other genres also gathering interest and plaudits that are now lying unrememebered and unlamented.
^this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
yeah totally agree.
Man's talking sense up here.
Oh yeah.
yeah that ^
I'd rather have the mainstream pop though
Me too, without doubt
Boybands > The Ting Tings
Fuzz Fox got it. End thread. That's It. The newthing.
WE can all go home now.
oh god.
it's sad but true. :/ lol
what's wrong with a bit of emo?
(though i think you're talking about pop punk)
i think about this a lot
not in terms of trends, which is more style/shoal-oriented, but 'what is the music currently being made that is wholly of its time, and thus shaping what's next (or shd be)?'.
i'm actually launching a blog soon to go further into it (along with the hopeful participation of the acts/artistes i most believe in). will announce more closer to time (next month).
a couple of very general points, though:
i dunno about trend, but the frame all contemporary music must be viewed through is the internet (he said on the internet). 'information revolution' is a bit of a painful phrase, but it holds true for the music biz - and we're still in the midst of it.
i'd agree we're looking at microtrends rather than grand narratives. this is, again, because of the internet - in the 20th Century top-down media model, there are few broadcasters and many receivers (magazines + MTV) - in a more 21stC virtual/interactive (MySpace + message boards) order anyone can join the conversation, and the whole thing's decentralized.
i'd disagree anything much is ever entirely new - the definition of creativity in psychological circles is merely the joining of one or more previously unrelated ideas into a new hybrid - it's the ingenuity, fruitfulness and relevance of the combination that counts. technology - whether it's new FX or home-recording - is often the midwife, 'cause it does allow new ways of working, etc.
aaand: i think the noughties have been incredible for (marginal) music, although it may never be the force it was in culture again. but that's for my blog...
Post-modernism dictates that everything becomes ever more specialized and fragmented.
Cultural movements have accelerated to the point at which the early-adopters are moving on by the time it's filtered out to any major degree. And when the early-adopters move on, the media follows, bit by bit, and the feeling of something being 'over' creeps in.
It's a big swirling incoherent mess out there. But that's quite exciting.

This is the first day in my tracking of my progress to having 1 million dollars in assets by October 30, 2013. This is one of the first steps I have made in moving to make that goal a reality. Beyond that, I have implemented additional steps in the past week:
- Have created an additional checking account to allocate spending cash to.
- Have created and made an initial deposit into a high yield saving account at INGDirect.
- Have begun organizing my current disorganized file system into separate categorized folders. Organization is going to be something I need a lot right now.
- Have identified specialized training that can be had for a relatively low price in terms of the gain in salary.
- Have opened a paper trading account at Investopedia.
I've started on this path and even though I know there's going to be roadblocks, NOTHING is going to stop me from reaching my goal. NOTHING will deter me for more than the time it takes to shake the thought from my mind.
Current income streams:
- Job
- Band Gigs
- Independent technical consulting
So thus far I have 3 streams of income. The only one that is currently steady and dependable is my day job. I have to come up with either A) ways of making the other two more dependable, or B) creating additional sources of income. My plan is to go for C) all of the above. I always liked choosing C or tests back in school, so it seems appropriate now. And now for current assets in accounts:
- Personal Bills: $363.93
- Spending: $0
- Expenses: $300
- Savings: $500
- Investment: $335.26
So there you have it folks. With starting capital of $1499.19, I will make $1,000,000 by October 30, 2013. Stay Tuned.

These stylish graffiti and camo sneakers are the end product of a collaboration between Vans shoe company and Ron English. The sneaker collection called 'Camo Deer' is the second edition of the UBIQ X Vault by Vans and contains two styles.
English infused his culture-jamming style into each shoe. These graffiti camo sneakers designs are featured on two of Vans classic shoes that are the 'Sk8-Hi LX' and the 'Era LX.' English used his creative abilities to make a profoundly artistic piece of footwear.
Both of these shoes have a nature-inspired theme. Using deer and forested surroundings as inspiration, the shoes combine camo and graffiti in a playful and intricate way. The shoes feature rustic leaves, grass and brightly colored flowers. The Sk8-Hi LX version uses black sued panels and a playful deer while the Era XL has images of woodland scenes cascaded across the low-top shoe.

Today brings us a raft of new detail on the UK economy and as it is for April we get the beginnings of some insight as to whether the UK economy picked up after the malaise of only 0.1% GDP ( Gross Domestic Product) growth in the first quarter of this year. According to Markit PMI business survey we have in the first two months of this quarter but of course surveys are one thing and official data is another.
So far, the three PMI surveys indicate that GDP looks set to rise by 0.3-0.4% in the second quarter.
As for the manufacturing sector the same set of surveys has told us this.
The seasonally adjusted IHS Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers' Index® (PMI®
) rose to 54.4, up slightly from April's
17-month low of 53.9, to signal growth for the
twenty-second straight month.
So we see that April can be looked at almost any way you like. Manufacturing has been in a better phase for a while now partly in response to the post EU leave vote fall in the UK Pound £. According to the survey we are still growing but April was the weakest month in this phase although some caution is required as I doubt whether a survey that can be in the wrong direction is accurate to anything like 0.5.
Of course the attention of Mark Carney and the Bank of England will be on a sector that it considers as and maybe more vital. From the Local Government Association.
Councils' ability to replace homes sold under Right to Buy (RTB) will be all but eliminated within five years without major reform of the scheme, new analysis from the Local Government association reveals today.
The detail of the numbers is below.
The LGA said that, in the last six years, more than 60,000 homes have been sold off under the scheme at a price which is, on average, half the market rate, leaving councils with enough funding to build or buy just 14,000 new homes to replace them.
We sometimes discuss on here that the ultimate end of the house price friendly policies of the UK establishment will be to give people money to buy houses. Well in many ways Right To Buy does just that as those who have qualified buy on average at half-price. Also we see that one of the other supposed aims of the scheme which was to replace the property sold with new builds is failing. I guess we should not be surprised as pretty much every government plan for new builds fails.
Production and Manufacturing
These were poor numbers as you can see below.
In April 2018, total production was estimated to have decreased by 0.8% compared with March 2018, led by a fall of 1.4% in manufacturing and supported by falls in energy supply (2.0%), and water and waste (1.8%).
The fall in energy supply is predictable after the cold weather of March but the manufacturing drop much less so. If we review the Markit survey it was right about a decline but in predicting growth had the direction wrong. On a monthly basis the manufacturing fall was highest in metal products and machinery which both fell by more than 3% but the falls were widespread.
with 9 of the 13 sub-sectors falling;
If we step back to the quarterly data we see that it has seen better times as well.
In the three months to April 2018, the Index of Production increased by 0.3% compared with the three months to January 2018, due primarily to a rise of 3.2% in energy supply; this was supported by a rise in mining and quarrying of 4.3%………..The three-monthly fall to April 2018 in manufacturing of 0.5% is the largest fall since May 2017, due mainly to decreases in electrical equipment (9.4%), and basic metals and metal products (1.8%).
So on a quarterly basis we have some production growth but not much whereas manufacturing which was recently a star of our economy has lost its shine and declined. There has been a drop in trade which has impacted here.
The fall in manufacturing is supported by widespread weakness throughout the sector due to a reduction in the growth rate of both export and domestic turnover.
Actually for once the production and trade figures seem to be in concert.
Goods exports fell £3.1 billion, due mainly to falls in exports of machinery, pharmaceuticals and aircraft, while services exports also fell £2.5 billion in the three months to April 2018…….Falling volumes was the main reason for the declines in exports of machinery, pharmaceuticals and aircraft in the three months to April 2018 as price movements were relatively small.
That is welcome although the cause is not! But we see a signs of a slowing from the better trend which still looks good on an annual comparison.
In the three months to April 2018, the Index of Production increased by 2.3% compared with the same three months to April 2017, due mainly to a rise of 2.3% in manufacturing.
If we compare ourselves to France we see that it's manufacturing production rose by 1.9% over the same period. However whilst we are ahead it is clear that our trajectory is worsening and we look set to be behind unless there is quite a swing in May. As to the Markit manufacturing PMI then its performance in the latest quarter has been so poor it has been in the wrong direction.
As we move on let me leave you with this as a possible factor at play in April.
It should also be noted that survey response was comparatively high this month and notable weakness was due mainly to the cumulative impact of large businesses reporting decreased turnover.
We have already looked at the decline in good exports but in a way this was even more troubling.
services exports also fell £2.5 billion in the three months to April 2018.
Regular readers will be aware that I have a theme that considering how important the services sector is to the UK economy we have very little detail about its impact on trade. As an example a 28 page statistical bulletin I read had only one page on services. I am reminded of this as this latest fall comes after our statisticians had upgraded the numbers as you see the numbers are mostly estimates.
So not a good April but the annual picture remains better.
The UK total trade deficit (goods and services) narrowed £6.7 billion to £30.8 billion in the 12 months to April 2018. An improvement to the trade in services balance was the main factor, as the trade surplus the UK has in services widened £9.9 billion to £108.7 billion. The trade in goods deficit worsened, widening £3.2 billion to £139.5 billion over the same period.
This was yet again a wild card if consistency can be that.
Construction output continued its recent decline in the three-month on three-month series, falling by 3.4% in April 2018; the biggest fall seen in this series since August 2012.
The consistency comes from yet another fall whereas the wild card element is that it got worse on this measure in spite of a small increase in April
There is a lot to consider here today but let us start with manufacturing where there are three factors at play. The money supply numbers have suggested a slow down and it would seem that they have been accurate. Next we have the issue that exports are weak and of course this is into a Euro area economy which is also slowing as for example industrial production fell by 0.5% in France and 1% in Germany in April on a monthly basis. Some are suggesting it is an early example of the UK being dropped out of European supply chains but I suspect it is a bit early for that.
Moving to construction we see that it is locked in the grip of an icy recession even in the spring. It seems hard to square with the 32 cranes between Battersea Dogs Home and Vauxhall but there you have it. I guess the failure of Carillion has had quite an effect and linking today's stories we could of course build more social housing.
Looking forwards the UK seems as so often is the case heavily reliant on its services sector to do the economic heavy lifting, so fingers crossed.

A man surfing the waves at a man-made lagoon in Disney World was arrested after a big wave knocked him over, and his hand touched a group of girls standing in same wave. That's his side of it anyway. The girls say they were fondled and molested. The guy says it's all just a big misunderstanding. Perry Stiles, 54, was arrested on charges of battery and lewd molestation after a girl complained that his hand had touched her buttocks. Another girl said she was waiting for a wave when the same thing happened. The girls said they saw the man touch two other girls too. And a male witness backed up their accounts. But Stiles has a very different version of events.
Stiles told a local TV station:
It was a 10-foot wave, it was accidental. No one made me aware that they felt violated in the waves. I didn't know that until afterwards. I don't know who my accusers are.
When questioned by the reporter why four girls would have the same story, he answered:
Well, they were all swimming together, from my understanding. That's all I could say. If anyone feels violated, I apologize, that was never my intention.
Stiles has no previous arrest record in Florida. His wife was with him and said the waves were rough and people were being flung about. Could he be telling the truth?
Children and teens need to be able to come forward with stories of adults taking advantage of them -- they need to feel that their accounts are being believed.
On the other hand, is it possible that children now are so hyperalert to signs of molestation that the merest brush of a hand could send them running to the nearest cop?
I admit I get scared of being alone with kids I don't know, even for a second. Awhile ago, a little kid in my building suddenly began following me down the hallway. I turned a corner and realized the kid and I were alone -- the mom was farther down the hall and couldn't see us. Suddenly, the kid ran back to his mom and I heard him yell, "She -- " and my heart leapt in my throat. Was this kid about to say I'd done something to him that I had not?
I kept walking and reached my destination without anyone coming after me to accuse me of anything untoward, but the whole thing made me nervous.
More from The Stir: Man Addicted to Child Pornography Explains What Made Him That Way
On the other hand, there certainly ARE perverts out there. I met a couple myself when I was a kid, and "accidentally" brushing their hand along a young child's privates is a favorite game of theirs.
What exactly happened here, I can't tell you. But it's bad news for all parties involved.
Do you think that accidental touching can sometimes be misconstrued?

Pantech Breakout Headed to Verizon with 4G LTE on September 22 - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog
I wonder if this will help bring down the other Verizon 4G phones of the Bionic ($299), Charge ($299), Revolution ($199), and Thunderbolt ($249).
Probably not. Most likely the prices will drop early next year when lte radios become cheaper.

You May Be A Knitter If
Your husband has one book on auto repair,
Your children have three school books and a teen magazine
You have three floor to ceiling bookcases full of knitting books and some stacked on the floor
Your recipe file contains 3x5 cards on yarns and pattern changes but nothing about food
Your teen daughter borrows your blouse
Your husband uses the good silverware knife for an emergency screwdriver
But no one would ever touch the yarn falling across the television screen
You remember your current sock project but forget the cake for your mother's birthday that you spent hours decorating.
You agree to go to the hardware store with your husband because he promised you a visit to the yarnshop immediately afterward.
You ignore the growling in your stomach and the whines of your family that they are hungry! to get to the yarnstore before it closes.
You answer every question in code: Knit one, slip one, pass slipped stitch over, knit four, slip two, cable front....
You have an expensive mp3 player that holds hundreds of hours of music, audiobooks, and video but it is playing knitting podcasts and Lucy Neatby videos.
You get excited over strangers' knitting challenges and knit dozens of mittens and socks in complicated patterns but your family gets plain vanilla yarn.
You willingly drive 100 miles to sit in a yarn store or bookstore awaiting a total stranger who is hours late because of fog and never complain because you are chatting with other total strangers about yarn and Options needle sets.
Words like Options, Addi Turbo, Bamboo, DPN's mean more to you than PTA, IRA, 401-K.
You worry about the rising cost of postage because it cuts into the amount of yarn you can order.
You willingly learn a foreign language so you can translate that amazing pattern. Japanese and Finnish are favorites.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Taser International tasr shares fell 10 percent Wednesday after three new lawsuits were filed against the company alleging either securities fraud or misleading statements from its directors. The suits were filed late Tuesday or early Wednesday in an Arizona court, alleging that the company mislead investors and regulators on the safety of their core "stun guns." Taser shares have lost 40 percent of their value since January 6, when the company disclosed an informal SEC probe of its safety statements and of a deal with one of its distributors. Shares were last quoted down 9.5 percent at $17.89.

In 2005, the 12 year civil war between the Hutus and Tutsis ended and a successful Presidential election was achieved, bringing hope for a new era of peace and development. Peace has allowed 60,000 refugees to return to their homes. Meanwhile, the number of internally displaced persons in camps decreased from 145,000 in 2004 to 117,000 in 2005 (source: UNICEF)
State of Education in post-conflict Burundi
The new government of Burundi removed the barrier to education by lifting the requirement to pay school fees. This opened the door for many more children to attend school, but the influx of new students has strained the capacity of Burundi's education system. Despite the best efforts of the government, there simply are not enough school buildings, text-books and teachers to cope with the demand for education. Class sizes have ballooned, with up to 150 students per teacher, leading to concerns about quality of instruction (Source: IRIN, BBC).
The mission of Education Progress is to promote and improve access to quality, basic education, adapted to the specific needs of children and teachers in fragile states. Our aim in Burundi is to work closely with the Ministry of Education, donor agencies and local communities to raise the quality of primary education, including through improved teacher training.
Through our efforts, we aim to build peace through education.
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
According to the International Crisis Group, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the site of one of the world's worst ongoing humanitarian crises. Although the country emerged from what has been called "Africa's first world war" in 2003 when the former warring belligerents came together to form a transitional government, credible mortality studies estimate that up to 1,200 people continue to die each day from conflict-related causes, mostly disease and malnutrition but ongoing violence as well.
Over two million people have been uprooted by ongoing violence. Resettlement is hampered by lack of food and basic infrastructure due to the destructions of hospitals, schools and railroads etc. Children are particularly affected as they are vulnerable not only to violent attacks, but also to disease and hunger. Many of them are forced into participating in conflict. Children of displaced families have little or no access to education, either because the family has no money to pay school fees or because there are no schools operating in or near displacement camps. In the struggle to stay alive, children are forced to work (Source: Human Rights Watch: Africa).
State of education
According to UNICEF, school enrolment rates in the DRC are declining. More than 4.4 million children (nearly half the school-age population) are not in school. This number includes 2.5 million girls and 400,000 displaced children. As people return to their villages, they find they do not have functioning schools, qualified teachers or adequate supplies.
The focus of our efforts is to support these people in rebuilding their lives. We aim to work in close cooperation with the Government, local communities and implementing donors and agencies in the reconstruction efforts, including by promoting the education of girls, helping to reintegrate children and families into their communities, and providing counseling to children who have experienced conflict.
Cote d'Ivoire
Armed conflict between the government (concentrated in the south) and the rebel Forces Nouvelles (which control, primarily in the north) has continued for several years. UN peacekeepers patrol a buffer zone in between, maintaining a tenuous situation described as 'No Peace, No War'. Thousands of people have fled their homes, most taking refuge in government-controlled areas, overwhelming the health and education services available there. Cote d'Ivoire's infant and under-five mortality rates are among the highest in the world, and rising. An estimated 7 per cent of the population is HIV-positive. (Source: UNICEF)
State of Education
According to UNICEF, two thirds of the boys in Cote d'Ivoire, but only half of the girls are enrolled in primary school. Almost a million children, most of them in the north, do not attend school at all.
Our organization aims to promote community-based post-conflict reconstruction and development in Cote d"Ivoire, focusing on efforts to improve access to quality education at the primary level.


text: Hi I am literally hanging by a thread, cash in hand, ready to buy a DP 1.8. But of course I'm also getting an ulcer thinking about the anticipated Rev 2. First off, I'll be using the G5 to record audio and run midi, with Logic 6. Mostly audio tracks w plug-in efx. So any opinions from experienced users would be appreciated re: whether I really NEED to wait for a DP 2.0 or 2.2 or would a DP 1.8 be more than enough CPU to run a home studio for the next few years. Second, advice on Apple release patterns: If for example they announce something in the last week of Jan, when would one typically expect the machines to actually ship? I know there are a lot of variables, but I still have to ask, cuz I'm thinking now that if I wait for this new Rev I still may not have a G5 to play with until March . . . Help! and TIA! jello

Any type of slope modification, no matter if it be as a result of normal implies such as a stream undercutting the banking companies of the river or by workers eliminating a piece from the slope's base to develop roads, will impact the stability of a slope.
"Your Northridge-kind earthquake is about as poor since it receives for small properties like just one-family members home or a little condominium sophisticated," Jones claimed.
Fearing a major earthquake such as one particular in Mexico isn't enough. Here's how to turn stress into action
Cash Advancement System: Landlords can Get better costs for enhancements to your rental device or common regions for merchandise that advantage the tenant and can very last at least five years (RAC Reg 210).

Small Home Office features Blue Lacquered Bookshelf by Braun AdamsBruce Wayne
DescriptionI love the simple design of this office library room. The designers cleverly choose round white table that is probably unique and cute. I think this room does not resemble with common office library room especially the exotic blue lacquered bookshelves with pull-out rattan box. I love the way the designer choose the cornered bench because it allows other family members to gather in this room. Moreover, the ethnic gray white motive is perfect to beautify the room.

Leonardo DiCaprio has backed a campaign to rebuild a US town devastated when a tornado hit last year.
Ten people were killed and 95% of the infrastructure of Greensburg, Kansas was destroyed by the natural disaster.
"The most profound lesson I've learned in all of this work is that people don't want to be told what to do or how to think," DiCaprio told OK.
The Titanic star recently produced and appeared in a public service announcement encouraging young people in America to vote in the forthcoming presidential election.
