The Red Sox -- and Boston -- Rally

We've been through this before. With the embarrassment of riches that our sports teams confer on us, amphibious "duck boats" loaded with various Celtics, Patriots, Bruins, and Red Sox -- especially the Sox -- have gone around the block a few times lately to share their championship trophies for victory lap "rolling rally" parades. But this time was different.
Sure, the improbable transformation of a last-place to top-of-the-world team in one season was impressive. Near miraculous even. And yes, the altogether hairy 2013 Red Sox came through some hairy moments to redefine the term "clutch hitter." The Sox are behind three runs going into the final innings of the game? And they have two outs? No problem. They'll just load the bases and hit a grand slam. Again. If any band of idiots deserved to hoist a World Series trophy high in the air this past Saturday and parade it through the streets of Boston, it was this hirsute horde.

But the arc of this inexorable worst-to-first team was linked to a larger story. It began early in the season on Patriot's Day when the bombs exploded a couple of miles away from Fenway Park at the Boston Marathon finish line. Our city was shaken to its core, but our Boston Strong ethos was never dimmed. The Sox, led by David "This is Our Bleeping City" Ortiz, characterized the ethos and adopted a we-shall-overcome attitude.
The Red Sox rallied all season. The postseason was spectacular. Big Papi, who, according to the natural order of things, should be in the twilight of his illustrious career, rallied to a .733 batting average against the Cardinals in the World Series. It was his gift to a shaken city. Winning baseball's big prize, at Fenway Park no less, was the team's contribution to Boston's redemption. The story, which began in April with tragic chaos along Boylston Street, came full circle as the parade vehicles made their way down the same street on a glorious November day. A different kind of pandemonium erupted when Ortiz hopped off the float and defiantly, if jubilantly, jogged a few blocks to cross the Marathon finish line. Like gazillions of other grateful fans lining the streets, I was happy to be there to witness the palpable joy.
The rolling rally halted for a few minutes as players Jonny Gomes and Jarrod Saltalamacchia placed the World Series trophy on the ground at the finish line and draped it with a Boston Strong Red Sox jersey. The gesture was for the bombing victims and their families. It was for a city that, like the championship team, has rallied and persevered in its own way. Whether you are a proud member of Red Sox nation, wherever you may live, or whether your allegiance is with another team, we invite you to visit our fair city. See Fenway Park for yourself. Ride a duck boat (which, unfortunately, likely won't have any Red Sox players aboard). Stroll down Boylston Street. Experience the place where, by sheer force of will, champions rise to a cause.

It is strange that I have to travel more than halfway across the country from sleepy Vancouver Island to the big city of Toronto to eat breakfast outside, but it's true.
Our friends Naomi and Ian have the kind of house that made me fall in love with Toronto: full of art and a warm welcome and surrounded by big old city trees.
The first couple mornings of our visit, my husband and I stumble up to the kitchen, dazed by the time change and looking for an easy breakfast. Without fail, I pull open the cupboard and see the familiar square Tupperware container: granola. I smile, spoon some into a bowl and put the kettle on for tea.
And then, right there from the kitchen at the back of the house, I open the door onto a patio that gradually drops down into the park behind them. Naomi is a gardener and for most of the year, there are leafy green things and birdfeeders to watch while we sit at the little table and linger over our breakfast. This is vacation.
Finally, I realized that while I can't bring their patio back to our tiny apartment, I can make the granola. Naomi gave me the recipe, and she says she got it from someone else. Now, I'd like to pass it along to you.
It's originally called, "mixed fruit granola" and the two fruit involved are dried cherry and cranberry. But can two fruit truly make something "mixed"? Anyway, I just call it, "Naomi's granola" and we're happy.
It's delicious. Eat it outside when you can. When eating it inside, dream about the summer to come.
A note for the gluten-free among us: This recipe will only work for you if you can tolerate oats. Make sure you find oats that were grown in an uncontaminated field and processed in an uncontaminated factory. My favourite oats come from Cream Hill Estates. Also, make sure to use rice bran, not wheat bran.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Mix oats, bran, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix honey, almond extract and oil. Pour over the oat mixture and toss. Spread on sheet.
Bake, stirring every 10 minutes or so until lightly roasted, about 45 to 55 minutes. Stir in fruit. If you'd like the granola to be a bit more clumpy, drizzle a bit more honey over and stir. Cool completely.
* Use a light oil, such as canola, vegetable or grape seed. Do not use olive oil; it will be too strong.
You've inspired me to make granola! I had been considering making the one from orangette, but since you've posted this, I have changed my mind!!


Are you interested in buying a lift chair recliner in Wyoming, MI? Read on as we'll teach you about lift chairs, purchasing or renting one, and where to do so. We'll educate you on how much you can expect to pay as well as how much extras should cost. We'll also educate you on how a manufacturer's guarantee should be. This page finishes with advice on where you can purchase lift seats locally, if you want to not buy one online.
Below is our recommended lift chair recliners. These chairs are just not as bad as seats that are locally bought as delivery is free. As an extra plus, there is typically no sales tax with lift chair purchases that are on-line. Check them out for yourself.
There are three basic types of lift chairs: 2-position lift chairs, 3-position lift chairs, and infinite position lift chairs. Two position lift chairs can go into the sitting posture and a 15 degree recline. They just have these two pre-set positions and the back cannot be moved independently from the ottoman. Three position lift chair recliners can go into the sitting position, a 15 degree recline, and a 45 degree recline. The back can not move independently from the footrest. Infinite position lift chair recliners can go into any position (and hence are called 'infinite position") and the back and footrest can move independently. This is because of infinite position lift chairs having two motors. Some lift chairs can go into the Zero Gravity position. Some can go into the Trendelenburg position.
The average cost for two position lift chair recliners is $769. There are comparatively few two position lift chairs in the marketplace and the lowest two position lift chair costs more than the lowest price three position lift chair. Should you be looking to spend less, there's no point in purchasing a 2 position lift chair — it isn't a great value.
An infinite position lift chair has a complete range of movement. Their footrest can be moved independently of their backs because they have two motors. They also can lie completely flat for use as a bed. The average cost for an infinite position lift chair is $1,300, fairly higher than the typical cost 3-position lift chair but there are units as low as $700.
Should you let a lift chair or purchase one? The lowest price for a lift chair lease is $85/month. The average cost is $110/week. This doesn't include setup fees. The lowest cost for a lift chair recliner is $500. People on Medicare part B can qualify for a $250 lift chair rebate, making their lift chair cost as low as $250. So, it's better to buy a low end elevator chair than lease one. One can only sell it later and pay much less than $85/month.
One can buy used lift chair recliners on Ebay and craigslist.org but, is it worth it? Used lift seats are typically around $250 or more. The lowest cost 3-position lift chair is $500 so there is some savings if one does not qualify for Medicare's $250 reimbursement in purchasing an used lift chair. The savings can be excellent if one buys an used leather lift chair for $250. Besides that, it really is risky as warranties are only great for the first owner. We advocate people buy a new entry level lift chair recliner if they may be contemplating an used elevator chair.
Medicare has a rebate of $250 to $300 for individuals who are on Medicare part B and match Medicare's medical necessity condition. Those individuals can have the price of the lifting mechanism in their lift chair recliner compensated by Medicare. Read about ways to get the Medicare lift chair rebate here.
Below are the warranties for each company, in brief. Normally the frame, lifting and reclining mechanism is covered for a lifetime. Fabric is usually not covered. Everything else gets at least a 1 year guarantee. This generally only applies to the first owner.
Besides being accessible at a variety of local stores including Costco, Walgreens, Art Van Furniture, Franklin, Value City Furniture, Sam's Club, and Lazy Boy, Lift Chairs can be bought at the following local retailers. Some also sell other mobility devices such as stair lifts, electrical scooters, wheelchairs, medical equipment lease mobility scooters, bed lifts, lift, and pool lifts. Craigslist is additionally a good place to find used and new lift chairs. Most of the things are American furniture so you're certain to find a quality merchandise.

Brokers look forward to spring open houses, leaving broken pipes and icy steps behind
New York real estate may be hot, but it's not immune to freezing temperatures. The so-called Siberian Express, as some dubbed the seasons' prolonged cold snap, left a trail of ruined open houses and delayed listings in its tracks.
While seasonal dips are not new, this year's exceptional cold, snow and ice made it difficult for some buyers to get around. Now, brokers said, buyers suffering from cabin fever are all the more eager to snag an apartment this spring.
"Everyone is really excited that the calendar is turning toward [spring] because there's been a lot of appointments cancelled, deferred or delayed because it's been an epic February in terms of temperature," said Jason Haber, a broker at Warburg Realty.
He said he delayed listing at least one unit, a Classic Six on the Upper West Side that will have an ask of around $2.2 million. "I felt the market would be more receptive in March," he said late last month. "The last thing I'd want to do is put a beautiful apartment on the market on a day when its -14 degrees."
In addition to frigid temperatures, snow and ice made it difficult for buyers to navigate the city to reach open houses. "Agents will be drinking through a fire hose this spring as clients come out of a long cold winter with money to spend," said Mike Loftus, a salesperson at William Raveis NYC.

Annie Cion Gruenberger, an agent at Warburg Realty, said the only people who showed up to open houses in the worst weather were either very serious or suffering from cabin fever. "On the one warmer Sunday in February, I held an open house for a one-bedroom with a terrific kitchen and approximately 30 people came through the door," she said. "It absolutely felt like spring fever."
The cold temperatures are showing up as a chill in the numbers. In January, just 310 condos in Manhattan went into contract, down 6.3 percent from December and, significantly, the lowest monthly total in three years, according to StreetEasy. Condos spent a median of 82 days on the market, up sharply from 19 days in December.
Nationwide, sales of existing homes also dropped 4.9 percent in January to their lowest rates in nine months, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Janine Young, an agent at Bond New York Properties, said she showed up for an open house in Fort Greene, only to find out that the seller's broker was locked out. She waited with the other broker while he called a locksmith. "By the time he got into the property, he realized that the pipes had burst due to the cold weather," Young said.
Aramis Arjona, an agent at Mirador Real Estate, was covering an open house for another agent one particularly frigid weekend and only one person showed up. "Unless you have a serious time crunch or emergency, you will put it off," he said.
Of course, this is still New York real estate, and a good number of agents said frigid temperatures haven't cooled the market. Warburg's Gruenberger said she wouldn't cancel an open house, even in a snowstorm. "Many people want to take advantage of low interest rates," she said, adding that serious buyers aren't deterred by the weather.
Marisa Mohan, also a Bond New York agent, had an open house at 621 80th Street in Bay Ridge on Feb. 15, when temperatures dropped to around 4 degrees. Her boyfriend had to chip three inches of ice off the front steps, and the house, which was asking $735,000, had no heat. "We could see our breath inside," she said, but she got 14 offers.
Another Bond agent, Annette Holmgren, said she launched sales in mid-February for a one-bedroom at 330 West 72nd Street that was asking $1.1 million. "We ended up just doing two open houses and going to best and final with a price $111,000 over ask," she said.
Town's David Gomez Pearlberg said even though many buyers have been hibernating, the phones are still ringing as everyone gets ready for the spring market.
He used the freezing weeks to connect clients with lawyers and lenders. "In this market," he said, "once you see the place, we need to move pronto."

Kevin Tumlinson is a thriller and speculative fiction author. He's also the Director of Marketing at Draft2Digital, one of the leading automated self-publishing services companies.
Kevin wrote his first book at the age of five. The reaction he got for it sparked a lifelong interest in writing. By age 12 he was writing professionally for local papers. He published his first book in 2008 and has been working in the self-publishing industry ever since.
This was a great interview. We talked about the benefits of indie publishing, indie publishing strategy, how to use indie publishing to get a traditional book contract (if you want), and the importance of changing your strategy if it's not achieving your goals.
Kevin got into self-publishing after realizing that his traditional publishing contract would cause him to lose money. So he pulled back from that situation, lost the rights to that book for four years, and decided to publish another one instead.
He looked at self-publishing options because he wanted more control over his work. The sales for his first book were pretty low because people hadn't yet adopted the ebook as something they could read. Kevin actually got more print sales for his book then ebook sales.
When Kevin first explored self-publishing he was working in television, and his dream was to create a book that could be turned into a movie or TV show. Because he lost the rights to the first book he worked on, he didn't want to put himself in a position where he could lose those rights again, especially if what he was writing got sold to Hollywood.
Kevin really liked the idea that once he created his book and self published it, he would have complete control over what he did with the book itself. In particular, he liked the idea that he could control the price, and distribute the book in any way that made sense to him.
One of the benefits of self-publishing is that 100% of the book's success rests on your shoulders. Once you accept that 100% of your success is up to you, you're much more likely to succeed because you understand the level of commitment you need, and you're mentally prepared to take the right actions in the right quantities to assure your success.
Another benefit of indie publishing is that you come to understand the value of what the publishing company is truly offering. Understanding the value of the different elements that a publishing company brings to the table gives you a better negotiating position because you're more informed.
Indie publishing also teaches authors the value of marketing. Marketing is a very valuable skill. It separates successful authors from unsuccessful ones.
When you go the indie publishing route you learn more faster. You're also able to adjust marketing strategies more easily because you don't have to check with anyone.
When you sign a traditional publishing contract you give away the rights to your story in order to get the book distributed. That means the publishing company has at least some say in what you do with the content you've written in the future. It also means that the publisher is most likely entitled to some sort of cut if your story is made into a TV show or movie.
The theory behind getting traditionally published is that the publishing company will help you with some overhead in terms of creating and marketing of the book once it's done. The truth is that a publishing company will help you with some initial overhead and might help you with the marketing, but in the end the author is responsible for most of the marketing activity anyway. And as an author's career goes on, the publishing company takes less and less responsibility for helping the author with promoting the book.
So if you're going to be doing the majority of work anyway it makes sense that you get the majority of the profit and keep your rights intact.
If you really want a traditional publishing contract you can still pursue that in this new world. It's often easier for someone to get a traditional book contract if they've built an author platform by indie publishing their work and getting readers, before they approach agents and publishers.
Publishers really only care about the bottom line. If you can prove to them that you already have an audience to sell to they'll be much more interested in buying your book because you've proven that you have an audience to sell to.
When self-publishing, what you want to do is create your minimum viable product. A Minimum viable product means you get your book to your audience as quickly as possible while making it the highest quality product you can using the resources you have.
There are some people who are resistant to the idea of publishing a book before it's pristine and perfect. The truth is you're never going to have a perfect book. Every run of the traditionally published book has at least one copy with at least one typo or some other kind of error.
When you indie publish you're getting your product to the audience faster. This means you get feedback from the audience faster. It also means you can adjust what you're doing faster if you need to.
Knowledge is your most important asset when it comes to any business you are in. With indie publishing you get educated much quicker than if you were to get a traditional publishing contract and start your career that way.
Another huge benefit of indie publishing is the community of authors that exists. The business of selling books is unlike any other. Despite what some would have you believe selling books is not a competitive business, especially on the indie publishing side.
When you go to the grocery store and buy a particular brand of additional you're more likely to stick with that brand than to try a new brand. The fact that you like John Grisham doesn't mean that you're only going to buy John Grisham books.
When you're publishing and marketing a new indie book, your best resources are going to be the authors who have come before you in the indie publishing space. Indie authors for the most part are approachable and they want to help new people. You can often contact them directly from their website. If you ask them a polite question often you will get a polite response with information that will help you be successful.
It's important to realize that every author is different. What works for one author may not work for another. If you've released a few books and you're not getting the sales that you'd like, look at what you're doing and see if changing your approach might lead to different results.
If you're not selling many books you're not losing much by changing the way you do things. Some people are very successful using KDP select. Others are more successful by choosing to build a wide author platform.
The great thing about being an indie author is that almost nothing you do has to be permanent. Kevin once uploaded the wrong content file for a book that he published. He was able to fix that problem within 24 hours and contact the people who have downloaded the wrong version to help them update it. He was stressed the day it took to fix it but there were no lasting affects on his career.
Kevin suggests that new authors publish exclusively on Amazon for their first three books or so. Right now (April 2017) when you make your books exclusive to Amazon you have to do it 90 days at a time. When you go exclusive to Amazon you have a built-in group of readers for your book. You can give away the book for five days free, you can also put your book in Kindle Unlimited which allows subscribers to download your book for free while paying you more money than you would get for selling your book in many cases (as long as the person who downloads your book reads your book).
This strategy gives you visibility you would not otherwise have as a new indie author.
Kevin suggests that while you're book is exclusive to Amazon you market beyond your Amazon readership so that you can build up anticipation in other markets.
Once you have an established readership and you have a backlist of several books consider releasing your early books to other markets. This allows you to get the benefit of being exclusive to Amazon while at the same time getting the most readers for your work over time.
There are some authors who are successful just by publishing one book. In those cases it's usually because they're an expert in some field and the book is a sort of business card to get them booked as a speaker or consultant.
If you want to be a professional author the most important thing you can do after you write your first book is to write your second. Having a large backlist is a marketing tool in and of itself.
Just think about it. If you're a fan of romance are you more likely to buy the book from the author who has published their first book or the author who has 40 books published?
Chances are unless you know the one book author you're more likely to buy a book from the romance author who has 40 books out. The 40 book author has more points of entry for a reader. That means it's more likely that you will pick up their book on your own and it's more likely that the book will be recommended to you by someone you know who's read it. The more content you have out in the world the easier it is to be discovered.

Having warned in November amid a hosepipe of leaks, that it was possible, The White House is banning its employees from using personal devices while at work in the West Wing, despite concerns among some staffers that they'll be cut off from children and other relatives trying to reach them.
"The security and integrity of the technology systems at the White House is a top priority for the Trump administration and therefore starting next week the use of all personal devices for both guests and staff will no longer be allowed in the West Wing," press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Thursday.
The change means aides in the Trump administration won't be permitted to use their personal cellphones on the White House campus, Bloomberg News reported.
The phones provided by the White House reportedly don't allow texting, adding to staffers' complaints.

I had the ExoVasc procedure on the 8th December 2008, aged 26. I've been aware of Marfan's Syndrome since childhood, although not particularly well aware of its implications for the aorta. My older brother died from aortic dissection in 2003, and after subsequent monitoring I was referred to Bristol in July 2008 as my aorta continued to dilate and surgery looked increasingly necessary. I was made aware of the ExoVasc procedure by the surgeon, and of the alternative, which for me would be valve-sparing surgery. I chose to, at the least, find out more about the ExoVasc. This involved a few outpatients' appointments at the Brompton, and a couple of separate MRI scans, between July and October 2008.
There were obviously other important grounds on which to base an ExoVasc vs. conventional surgery decision than, simply, the severity of the procedure. However, the more I learned about the ExoVasc the less of a decision it really became. I much preferred the idea of the ExoVasc to replacing large amounts of tissue; I was also aware that it posed lower constraints on subsequent surgery; and once I'd decided that the ExoVasc appeared to be the best option, being a less severe operation obviously reduced my inevitable concern.
The procedure took place on Monday 8th December, in the morning, after a visit from Professor Pepper. I don't have much memory of what happened directly before the operation. I remember waking up on Monday afternoon and spending the night in intensive care, not feeling in pain or much discomfort, just very narcotised after the anaesthetic.
On Tuesday 9th I was transferred to the High-Dependency Unit, and in the evening I had some visitors. The nurses at the Brompton really were fantastic. I stayed in the HDU until Thursday, due to a slight temperature and higher-than-ideal levels of CO2 in my lungs; I also had no appetite. Whether it was simply that time passed or that I stopped taking morphine, I felt much better by Thursday and had regained my appetite by Friday morning.
Two things that caused me discomfort in hospital were not sleeping well due to only being able to lie on my back (this passed after maybe five days) and the twice-daily subcutaneous injection of Heparin (anticoagulant). Not everyone is given this drug, and I didn't notice anyone else finding it painful, but if you do, as I did, the least-painful place I found to have it injected was underneath the shoulder, towards the back of the arm. Relative to what the procedure involves, these discomforts are decidedly minor.
I was discharged on Sunday 14th, a week after being admitted; I made the 2-hour train journey home, and was very grateful for my girlfriend being with me! The journey was no problem, but I wouldn't have liked it to be any longer. It's now about six weeks since the operation and I'm feeling good, just taking lower-than-pre-op doses of a beta-blocker and ACE inhibitor. I'm back to normal activities, the only thing I can't do is lift heavy things due to my healing sternum, which is not a problem around the house.
I was visited by Tal on the Wednesday while I was still in hospital, the first time I'd met him – now knowing the history of the operation, it seems difficult to acknowledge here the massive thanks that I and hopefully many more to come will owe him, Professor John Pepper, and everyone else involved. The procedure is an opportunity, and whatever the future holds I'll remain thankful for it. My only concern remains that potential patients might not be aware of the existence of the procedure as an alternative.

The upcoming open-world RPG from Experiment 101 and THQ Nordic, Biomutant has received a new gameplay teaser trailer.
Biomutant looks extremely unique in this trailer in terms of creative abilities that the main character can do. We can see that the protagonist can fire an arrow and launch himself to the desired location, control a glider, bounce on enemies and even be electrocuted.
Players should note that the gameplay within Biomutant is drastically affected by how the player decides to mutate/customize their main character. When looked at as individual clips Biomutant may not seem that unique when it comes to gameplay, but when addressed a whole experience we can see that the game has no problem traversing from one uniqueness to another in only a matter of seconds.

The inch double split shaft collar is a cylindrical mechanical part on the rotating shaft, which is an integral part of the sliding bearing.Generally speaking, the inch double split shaft collar and bearing block adopt interference fit, and adopt clearance fit with the shaft.The inch double split shaft collar is generally used with the bearing. The inch double split shaft collar is the sleeve, and the bearing is the part that can fix and reduce the friction coefficient of the load in the process of mechanical transmission.The common thing between the bush and the bearing is that both bear the load of the shaft.And the difference between the two is the overall structure of the shaft sleeve, rotation is the relative motion between the shaft and the shaft sleeve;While the bearing is split, the rotation is the relative movement of the inner and outer rings of the bearing itself.But in essence, the bush is actually a kind of sliding bearing.The bearing bush is equivalent to the outer ring of the sliding bearing. The bearing sleeve is integral and moves relative to the shaft, while the bearing bush is fragmentary and rotates relative to the shaft.
To prevent the corrosion of the bearing, directly take the bearing by hand, to fully wash the sweat on the hand, and coated with high quality mineral oil before operation, especially in the rainy season and summer to pay attention to rust.Under special conditions, automobile bearings can obtain longer life than traditional calculation, especially under light load.Analysis of the mechanism and influencing factors of the labyrinth seal of the bearing box these special operating conditions are that when the rolling surface is effectively separated by a lubricating film and limit the surface damage that may be caused by pollutants.Inclination Angle is allowed. Automobile bearings generally do not allow the shaft to tilt relative to the shell hole.Allow temperature, under the normal load, and lubricant has a high temperature resistant performance, and abundant lubrication conditions, general bearing allowed in - 30 ℃ -- 150 ℃ environment temperature.Automotive bearings have the longest service life when the bearings operate with a slightly negative clearance.However, in fact, it is very difficult to maintain the optimal state of the bearing. Once some service conditions change, the negative clearance will increase, leading to a significant decrease in the life of the bearing or heating.Therefore, when the initial clearance is usually selected, it is required that the running clearance is only slightly greater than zero.


Former finance minister P. Chidambaram.
Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram was on Friday questioned for over five hours by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering probe related to INX Media.
According to the ED officials, Chidambaram was asked about his meetings with INX Media directors Peter and Indrani Mukerjea and how clearance to INX Media was given instantly for receiving overseas funds to the tune of Rs 305 crore in 2007 when he was the Finance Minister.
On January 21, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which is also probing the INX media case, sought prosecution sanction against the senior Congress leader from the Centre.
The ED probe so far showed that for the FIPB approval, INX Media directors Peter and IndraniMukerjea met P. Chidambaram so that there was no hold-up or delay in their application.

VIPER SOLFA To Begin Recording Debut Album In May
VIPER SOLFA, the new band featuring Ronny Thorsen (TRAIL OF TEARS), Miriam "Sphinx" Renvåg (RAM-ZET, ENDLING), Morfeus (MAYHEM, LIMBONIC ART, DIMENSION F3H), Endre Moe (TRAIL OF TEARS, DIMENSION F3H, CUTTHROAT) and Bjørn Dugstad Rønnow (TRAIL OF TEARS, SPHERE), will enter the studio in May to start recording its as-yet-untitled debut album. Drums will be tracked at Strand Studio in Oslo, Norway before moving on to bass, guitars and keyboards/orchestration recordings. Vocals will be laid down at Soundsuite Studios in Marseille, France with producer Terje Refsnes. The band states: "Stoked to get this train rolling!"
A demo version of the VIPER SOLFA song "Whispers And Storms" can be streamed below.
VIPER SOLFA emerged in 2013 as an idea from TRAIL OF TEARS singer and frontman Ronny Thorsen. After nearly two decades of albums, worldwide touring, as well as guest appearances for TRISTANIA and BLOOD RED THRONE, the time seemed right to head into different musical territories. Thorsen was quickly joined by fellow TRAIL OF TEARS members Endre Moe on bass and Bjørn Dugstad Rønnow on drums. Not long after, the three of them found themselves in the creative company of Morfeus, who immediately took the role of main composer as well as handling guitar, keyboard and orchestration duties. With the material at hand, it became obvious that the sound needed a diverse, intense and highly skilled female voice and after auditioning over two dozen singers from around the globe, Miriam "Sphinx" Renvåg was recruited as the final piece of the puzzle.
With a lineup consisting of established and well-known members from vast musical backgrounds, the result is a merciless musical beast combining the best of the individual members' musical history. Nearly a year has been spent crafting the band's innovative brand of extreme metal, or as the band so fittingly labels it: poison music.
VIPER SOLFA is:
* Ronny Thorsen (TRAIL OF TEARS) - Vocals
* Miriam "Sphinx" Renvåg (RAM-ZET, ENDLING) - Vocals
* Morfeus (MAYHEM, LIMBONIC ART, DIMENSION F3H) - Guitar, Keyboards, Orchestration
* Endre Moe (TRAIL OF TEARS, DIMENSION F3H, CUTTHROAT) - Bass
* Bjørn Dugstad Rønnow (TRAIL OF TEARS, SPHERE) - Drums
