The Return by BÊNNÍ
Benny Divine's impressive musical CV includes quantities such as The Gary Wrong Group, Wizzard Sleeve and Nashville's prolific purveyor's of Foghat-pop, Natural Child, but it was just a short year ago that Goner gave wide release to the Bênní debut album, I & II, which launched the new sub-genre we now know as "Hi-NRG New Age" and had its creator casually glancing over his shoulder for the rumored mobs of outraged Skyfax, Mannheim Steamroller and Windham Hill Records loyalists that could never quite catch up to his live performances, as they were not listed in back issues of TV Guide and Reader's Digest: Large Print Editions. Whereas I & II was, as its title explicitly implicates, the combination of two previously-released cassettes, The Return is a nine-track song-cycle composed for the full-length format. Imagine this album as an alternative historical narrative: not as a source of soundtrack afterthought, but rather the initial spark of inspiration for an entire '70s sub-genre of gritty crime and science fiction films. Additionally, the fuzzy electro-pop chops are just as impressive as the spacey burps and gurgles that made his debut so gripping.
Hailing from an H Class planet far across the cosmic highways, BÊNNÍ is "hi NRG New Age" music. A pivotal member of bands Wizzard Sleeve/Gary Wrong Group, Heavy Lids, Roman Gabriel Todd's BRUOOTS, and many more, Bênní was born from his personal need of new music to listen to while driving his space craft long distances. Tired of listening to Van Halen's "5150" and Zebra's self titled album on his journeys, he began creating sci fi landscapes and ethereal soundtracks of his own. Often times primitive, BÊNNÍ's music can go from Vangelis, to John Carpenter, to 80s dungeon electro band Warning and into vintage arcade game circuitry with the blink of an eye. With his first LP release, BÊNNÍ will be embarking on a Euro/Scandinavian tour in August with US Tours close behind. Previous cassette released on AVRCRC.
New Orleans' enigmatic Quintron weighs in...
"The thing to me that has always kinda set the Memphis / New Orleans punk scenes apart from other places is that music and musicianship always outweighs high concept or the typical sneering "fuck you" attitude of other places. BÊNNÍ is a Musician with a capital M and it's no accident that within a year of his coming to New Orleans (from less than an hour up the Gulf), he began to influence the local landscape as much as any of us who had been here and doing it for decades. BÊNNÍ is special, especially for a young dude. He NEVER overplays; he always listens; he's funky as a church lady; and his memory for parts and complicated song structure is unmatched in anyone I have ever worked with....plus he's chill as fuck. There is a reason that he is in almost every good band in the entire city right now. So yea...if any of you Memphis bitches get funny ideas about stealing him away from us, there will be a straight up lazy drunken army riding up the river to forcibly take him back."
BENNY DIVINE: A MACHINE SUPREME
ByDan Fox
Tucked between the towering casinos of Biloxi and the sprawling shipyards of Pascagoula lies Ocean Springs, a precious little Gulf Coast town you've more than likely zipped past on I-10. Her most famous son—to date—is Walter Inglis Anderson, a troubled but incredibly gifted artist who illustrated the flora and fauna of the South, his style seamlessly blending an organic touch with geometric precision. A Walter Anderson alligator could come to vibrant life with a series of hand-drawn, intricate diamond shapes, each colored in with bold, simple hues.
Though not quite as accomplished—yet—or as troubled as Anderson, Benny Divine might be the next great artist to put Ocean Springs on the map. Today he calls New Orleans home, but it all started in that bayside hamlet with its connection to the greater underground music scene of the Gulf Coast. A hodgepodge of cities from Gulfport and D'Iberville in Mississippi to Mobile, Alabama and beyond, the region has consistently produced extremely odd but always well-crafted, expressive bands for decades. Two of its most tortured artists—Roman Gabriel Todd (who bestowed the "Divine" on Benny) and Chad Booth (who you might recognize today as Gary Wrong)—would take Benny under their respective wings and bring his musical talents to fruition with bands like Roman Gabriel Todd's The Beast Rising Up Out Of The Sea, and Wizzard Sleeve.
Since moving to New Orleans in 2009, Benny has been a rhythm section staple, from the bar rock of King Louie's Missing Monuments (as the bassist) to the dark-psyche of Heavy Lids, where Benny pulls double duty on drums and keyboard. It was at a Heavy Lids show where I realized Benny was a better (and faster) drummer with one hand than most of his peers are with two. Benny is the kind of drummer who can play at around 200 beats-per-minute, drop a stick, pick up a new one, scratch his nose, and never miss a beat—all with the intensity of a couch potato flipping through the channels; or, as his Facebook profile states, someone rolling up to the Shoney's breakfast buffet in flip flops. It's this kind of super chill, yet rock solid musicianship that a diverse array of artists—everyone from the 9th Ward's own Quintron to Nashville's Natural Child—have come to rely on.
Last summer, Benny stepped out from the proverbial rhythm section shadows, under the more bedazzled moniker of BÊNNÍ, to release his first major solo outing on Goner Records, simply titled I&II (to represent the album's two distinct studio periods). It's a record bathed in all the amber hues of analog synthesizers and vintage pulp science fiction, a fusion of intricate calculation and freewheeling spirit that Walter Anderson himself might appreciate.
Over some wings and fries at Parasol's, I caught up with Benny to talk about his upbringing in Ocean Springs, the quest for the perfect road food, that time he was literally Quintron's left hand, and what it takes to be a zen bouncer.
What kind of a town is Ocean Springs, for anyone who's never been there?
When I was growing up there it was like a little artist beach community. And now it's kind of like a bunch of bars for kinda rich, hippie people. It's turned into that, basically. But when I was growing up it wasn't like that at all. It was just you know, a quiet little [town]. Everybody talked about Walter Anderson and Shearwater Pottery and all that shit.
Are you a fan of his work?
Yeah. When I was growing up my dad made films for ETV [Mississippi Educational Television] in Jackson (I was born in Jackson, but I was only there for two years). And when we moved down to Ocean Springs, he did something for public television there, like a Walter Anderson documentary with some guy playing Walter Anderson. I just remember that a lot from as a kid, them showing that in school and me being like, "Oh, my dad's making that."
When did you start learning to play music?
I started pretty early because my dad played music too, so he always had a guitar. He liked to do bluegrass kind of stuff so he always had something sitting around that me and my brother could fuck with. But my mom was a school teacher and I would sit after school when I was 7 or something—whatever third grade is. I'd sit in the music room with the music teacher and she would show me stuff and then I'd mimic it, play by ear basically. That's how I started playing music in general. That's how I learned to play drums, everything. Just watching what she did and then I would do it.
And did you end up in the school band and all that?
I did school band for a few years, yeah. Was bass drum #2 at OSHS [Ocean Springs High School] and I did it for three years. When I went to [tryouts], they determined that trombone was best for me but I didn't want to. I wanted to play drums. Every kid wants to play drums.
At what point did you start to get into punk or whatever you would call it? When did you start playing in bands that weren't the high school band?
In high school we had a band called The Volatiles, and that was like a punk band. My first band—they all kind of happened at the same time. I was in a band called Buttership. First it was called Doomtown and the Uncut Whiskers, which was like a weird band. That was probably the first band we really did where we covered "Hold On Loosely" (38 Special), but we would improv a lot. That turned into Buttership, which was mostly just improv, and that's how I met Quintron. He used to come play Gulfport all the time. You know the Orange Grove Community Center? We would play with him there… Quintron ended up asking us to play Knoxville with him, thinking we would book shows up to Knoxville, not realizing we didn't know what we were doing and we just drove straight to Knoxville and played. And he was like, "You guys didn't play anywhere else in between?" And we were like, "No."
What was your first impression of Quintron and all those people when y'all crossed paths for the first time?
I thought it was crazy that there was somebody doing something like that, and that it was successful. Because we'd done weird shit and everybody was just like, "Oh you guys are fucking weird," you know? But seeing Quintron being successful doing something like that was kind of like, "Oh hey, maybe we can actually do cool things."
But you didn't have any expectation for anything you were doing? You didn't think it was going to go anywhere?
"SMALL TOWNS, THERE'S NOT REALLY SCENES THERE…NOTHING WAS REALLY STOPPING US FROM JUST DOING WHATEVER THE HELL WE WANTED."
The Gulf Coast scene has always been on the edge of New Orleans but very impactful. Can you talk a little bit about what that scene was like for you, because you were right in the middle of it.
Well, Mississippi on the coast, there used to be a lot more of a scene, there used to be shows all the time… There was Kirk's House of Rock, which is now a car dealership. There was a place, Hawg's Tavern, [and] the room you played in was called the Maggot Farm. This dude Mitchell (Recovery Period), he used to book shows all the time on the Coast there. And this other dude, Carl, he was the one who booked Quintron all the time. All those dudes are older now, working at the casinos or something. So, from what I know, there's no more shows on the Mississippi Gulf Coast; and if there are, I have no clue about it. But Mobile, for a while there—I moved there because I started playing with Roman Gabriel Todd, and then me and him ended up touring—there was a lot of cool stuff going on there for a while too, and now it's the same thing. It's like both of those areas are hitting a weird spot.
That scene has always been kind of amazing. And I wanted to talk about Roman Gabriel Todd. He was Supreme Dispassion, right?
Yeah, that's when I first met him. He used to play Gulfport all the time, and he played with Buttership and one day he stopped doing Supreme Dispassion and asked me, "Hey, you want to play drums in this band? I got an idea where it's just bass and drums and a gong." So then, literally a week before Katrina, I moved to Mobile and started playing with him. Katrina hit and then we went on a West Coast tour, like immediately.
What was your path into punk rock? I'm always curious how you get into stuff like that being in Ocean Springs, which is not the most cosmopolitan place in the world.
I was super into prog rock. And I had this jacket where I put a bunch of prog rock patches all over it, so it looked like a punk jacket but it was Emerson, Lake & Palmer and a big YES back patch. And this dude, Danny Giamalva, had moved from Arizona, and that attracted him. He super loved This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb and Fifteen and those kinds of bands… He moved to Ocean Springs and started going to our high school, so we ended up talking to him. And we were into some of the same music, like Slayer. I didn't know much about punk and he played Subhumans for us for the first time and a couple of other bands. He played Crass for us and we were like, "Wow, that's really cool." And then he started the band Volatiles and got us in it. That was the beginning of punk stuff, for me at least. Then playing with Todd, he showed me a lot of punk music. And then from Todd, I started playing with Chad and that was the brunt of the punk, you know?
How did you meet up with Chad? What was your first encounter with him like?
I think me and Todd were playing a show in Montgomery, and Chad was living in Wetumpka at the time because his wife was going to school or something like that, like way in the middle of Alabama. And he came to a show that we played and he was like, "Hey, I'm about to move back to Mobile and you're gonna be in Wizzard Sleeve." He was all wasted and stuff. "Yeah, we're gonna party. I'm moving back and you're gonna come over all the time and we're gonna jam." So we did Wizzard Sleeve for a while, then Bane joined us and we did that for years. And then it changed to Gary Wrong Group.
I think it's always amazing, the bands that come out of that area—they're just so crazy. Why do you think that is, that they're so eccentric (and also very good)?
I just think since they're small towns, there's not really scenes there. And Mobile, obviously there's a little bit of a scene, but there's nothing really stopping anybody from thinking, "I'm gonna not look cool," or "I'm gonna look stupid," especially in Ocean Springs. Nothing was really stopping us from just doing whatever the hell we wanted, musically. Other bands were either screamo sounding bands or metal. But everybody was all in it together. It wasn't like, we don't go to your shows cuz you're this kind of music. You're playing shows with any kind of band, just all up in the air. Kind of the same in Mobile. It's not big enough to have these really tight-knit scenes like New Orleans does. So there's more freedom to just do whatever the hell you want instead of trying to fit in somewhere.
I feel like New Orleans is like that. A lot of the great bands and musicians in this city, they're from the suburbs, like Metairie or the West Bank.
Well yeah, you look at a band like Dummy Dumpster, and it's a weird, different band. They're from Arabi or Chalmette, and those towns breed those kinds of bands because those bands, you know, they don't have a form to fit. They're just kind of doing whatever it is they want to do.
One thing I'm also curious about is, Chad's older than you, right? Most of the people you play with are.
That's always how it's been. When I started playing with Todd, he was 10 years older than me. I was probably 18 and he was in his late 20s. I don't know why that happened in particular. I just assumed it was because I was a decent musician and they were like, "OK, we need a decent musician." I figure that's how I got in everywhere I got in.
Does that age dynamic ever materialize?
Well, in a situation like with Chad, he has a lot more life experience—or he had a lot more life experience at the time than I did. He was much better at just showing up and being like, "Hey, I'm here. I'm everybody's friend now" when I started playing with him. Where I was still figuring stuff out. That was the only time I felt like there was a really huge dynamic between the age difference, and I thought it was just because he had already done this a bunch. He had already been on tours, toured Europe and all that stuff, so he knew what he was getting into. Whereas, I'd only done a few tours with Todd, which were Todd's first tours too, being in his late 20s. Todd wasn't exactly the most social, sociable dude… He's just Todd; it's just how he is. So with Chad, he shows up immediately, finds the party… and that's stuff that over time I've learned to do myself, on tour. But at the time I didn't. At the time, I'd just be sitting there like, oh fuck.
What you're saying about Chad sounds, in part, like maybe that's his natural personality but it also sounds like tour survival.
Exactly, yeah. He was probably like that on his very first tour, you know, like the very first time he went out on tour he was probably exactly like that. But I just read it as experience, to me. So that was an age thing, even though, like I said, it probably wasn't.
But now you have toured many times, many places. Is that a skill you've acquired?
I feel like I've acquired that, yeah. I feel like I'm pretty good at doing that now. I have a lot of friends now all over the world. For a while, touring, when you're playing to nobody every night and it's like weird shows, it's hard; it really gets to you. But you get to a point where you just roll with it, you know? And then when you start playing… like I started playing with Natural Child where it was big shows, getting paid a lot… It was great, but at the same time I kinda missed the old [tours]: playing a small venue or house show. They did too, you know; I could tell they missed playing house shows and hanging out with people, as opposed to sitting in a green room all night. You don't realize until you're sitting there saying, "Man, I really hope they have a green room so I can just sit on my ass and eat snacks." And then you're like, "Fuck, really? Is this really what I want to do?" This tour I just did solo was more back to my roots. Even though it was me doing a solo thing, it was playing smaller places. I played house shows; it was so much fun. And I was so on it the whole time. There wasn't a time where I felt like I just wanted to sit in the van. I felt that was my Chad peak, this last tour. Because I was in charge, so I had to be. I had to show up and be like, "What's up? Let's party!"
Right, that's part of the job, is to be an affable guy.
Yeah, I've always been kind of the side dude or the hired gun, so being in charge was a lot of fun. I thought it was gonna be stressful but it was great.
That's a big transition. Was that hard?
I thought it was gonna be horrifying: Oh my god, I can't believe I'm doing a tour where I'm in charge. But it was great; it kept me on my toes. I was always pumped and ready to go, because I always had to be ready.
That's two completely different personalities to inhabit: the pocket supportive player and the main guy.
It was scary, you know? The only tour I did before that was a European tour with Heavy Lids we'd just done. And of course John Henry [Heavy Lids' guitarist/vocalist] was in charge because it was a Heavy Lids tour and I was just kind of on it, doing my solo thing for fun. So going out on my own, yeah. It was super stressful but immediately I just got into the fucking swing of it.
At what point did you decide you wanted to do a solo thing?
I did a solo thing in Mobile a long time ago, where I played drums and programmed music and sang with it, but it didn't work out. I didn't really like it that much. So I've always wanted to do a solo thing. I was in the studio and I messed around with a Juno 106 [synthesizer] that they had there, through this little acoustic guitar amplifier and it just sounded so good. You play anything on it and it sounds amazing.
Is that what's on the album?
Yeah, that's one of the main things on the album, is the Juno 106. You play it and it's like, oh yeah, sounds like a fucking soundtrack. So that's half the reason I did it. I found one of those for cheap.
Is that one benefit to living in a place like Mississippi, is you just come across better equipment?
Oh yeah. Not necessarily better equipment, but you come across rare shit for nothing that you would otherwise never find. The thrift store near my house—America's Thrift in Ocean Springs—had to have been the greatest thrift store on Earth to me. I found an RMI electric piano there for $20, I found a Casiotone (701 I think); I found that for $10. That's what I used in Wizzard Sleeve for all those years. They're not that expensive now but, thinking they're four or five hundred bucks now, at least RMI electric pianos are. That's changed now though, because Goodwill, they have the online auctions. So they see something that looks worth anything, they ship it off to Goodwill headquarters and they put it online for auction.
In your liner notes you make a point that says "no softsynths were used in the making of this album." For those of us who don't understand the significance, what does that mean?
Softsynth is like a software synthesizer. It means virtual synth that you can download—which, a lot of people say you can't tell the difference. Sometimes I feel like you can't, sometimes I feel like you can. Half of my record was mixed down on a computer, and the other half was mixed down on something Quintron has that's like a rack with a disc player in it. And to me there's a huge difference between the sound; it even bothers me a little bit. Not to where I think it's bad, but I can hear the difference.
Did you jam with yourself or did you have an idea of how your songs were going to sound?
Half of that album, I have demos of when I was in that recording studio on my old phone. Half of those songs are demos I recorded and then re-recorded into songs, and then the other half was just me turning on the machine and fucking around until I had something I liked. Everybody was like, "I really love the vocoder," but it's really just a talk box coming through one of those microBrutes. I was at Quintron's and he had made a talk box, and I've always loved Zapp & Roger, "More Bounce To The Ounce" and all that stuff. So I hooked it up to his keyboard there and was messing with it and thought, I gotta get one of these. My girlfriend got me one for my birthday, or for Christmas or something, I don't know. And then I was doing all these robot voices… and people liked it so much live, that's why I did two talk box songs on there. And my next album's gonna have two talk box songs too.
Are you already working on the next one?
I've pretty much got it finished. I've gotta mix it down again.
How much equipment do you have?
A lot of it's in storage right now because I don't have that much space, but I've got a lot of keyboards. I don't have a lot of synths, but I have a lot of keyboards, like, electric pianos that I've gotten from thrift stores over the years. I have probably like ten all piled up, like Crumar Roady and this weird-ass one that Lefty just gave me out of Euclid that he had in the back that I'm trying to work on. I've got an old Wurlitzer that I got for 20 bucks. I got stacks and stacks of shit like that in storage, but at my house I have basically my live setup: a Juno 106, Roland MC 505, Roland RS09 and an Arturia MicroBrute with a talk box. And then I got a Yamaha keyboard amp and a Peavey bass amp that I play through.
If your house was on fire and—assuming everybody's safe, all the living things—you can only grab one thing before the whole house just goes up in flames, what would that be?
Honestly, I guess that Juno because… I've rarely spent money on expensive stuff. And that Juno 106, that was necessary for me to do this project because of the way it sounded. I found that for 600 bucks and that's the most I've ever spent on any music gear ever—which was hard for me to do. And now those things are worth 1200 bucks maybe, or $1000… No, I'm gonna change that. I would grab the 505. It's the thing where I get all my drums and bass sounds out of. I would grab that, because, first of all, I've had that thing for maybe 12 years. It's got so many songs in it that I've programmed; not only my solo stuff but I was in that band Super Nice Bros, it's got all those on it.
"YEAH, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF THE SIDE DUDE OR THE HIRED GUN, SO BEING IN CHARGE WAS A LOT OF FUN."
When you moved to New Orleans, was that just to be closer to the action, so to speak?
Kind of. Matt Russell was opening Siberia. He was like, "Hey I'm opening a bar, why don't you move over here and help me?" I said "OK." I was tired of Mobile. All I was doing there was just drinking at the bar all the time.
That's right! You were the door guy at Siberia for a long time.
Yeah. Well, he told me, "Come over and help me open Siberia. You can bartend." Moved over, helped tear down the walls, built all the stuff in there. So it opens and I ended up working door there for like two or three years in the beginning. Never bartended.
Now that is an art unto itself, the door guy.
And I am not a door guy either. I'm not the kind of person that goes and beats somebody up, you know? But it was actually very effective, the way I used to work door there. I wouldn't be like the other door guys: choke them out, drag them out. And it worked a lot of the time, if I'd just come up and be like, "Hey man, come on, why don't we go talk outside?" and just get them outside and be like, "All right, you're not allowed back in." It worked a lot of the time. There was one time where I had to actually punch this little crusty guy that spit on me. He had a little puppy and he kicked it, so I punched him.
That's definitely worth a punch. That's amazing: you're a good door guy, in addition to everything else.
Well, I'm sure they didn't think I was a good door guy. They wanted me to grab somebody and toss them out the door, but that's not how I am.
How often are you on tour, like what percentage of your year do you think you're on the road?
Well, when I was in all those bands—Missing Monuments, Heavy Lids, Excarnate, Natural Child—I was on tour half the year. Now, I'm not doing any of that, only doing Heavy Lids and my solo thing. So now I want to just try and do two or three tours a year, maybe three weeks at a time. At the most.
What's your favorite thing about tour?
Food. Meeting people and food. And obviously, playing the shows.
That's a distant third, sounds like!
Yeah. [laughs] But I love regional food and partying with friends from out of town. It's nice to experience somebody else's little world for a night, you know what I mean? Like what they do when they party and then the next day what they want to eat after they're hungover.
What's some of your best-of list, if you were to put together a Benny's guide to restaurants or food?
I like weird regional chains. There's this place, it's based out of Sacramento, called Jimboy's Tacos. It's not even really that good, it's just weird. They have these weird tacos… it's like they dip the whole fucking taco in the fryer… they put parmesan cheese on the outside. And that to me was the weirdest thing—and hilarious—that there was this local chain, Jimboy's Tacos, parmesan cheese on the outside of the taco. And just to make sure, we were there and I asked the dude, "What kind of cheese is this?" And he pulled out the little green Kraft parmesan cheese thing.
You're quite the epicure on tour.
Oh yeah. I just got Skyline Chili for the first time, which is a Cincinnati thing. I'd been on tours in that area so many times and [everyone] was like, "No, we're not going to Skyline Chili. That's horrible. What's wrong with you?" So finally, since it was my own trip, and I was in charge, I was like, "I'm going to fucking Skyline Chili!" I went and I loved it. It was my favorite chili I've ever had. I've always loved eating garbage food. It's fun, you know? You feel like you're getting away with something.
What's a good pro tip for tour, or something you've discovered that helps you out on the road?
I literally just discovered on this last tour: don't fall asleep in the back of the van. Don't get groggy, don't take a four hour nap on a drive because then it's just going to ruin your night, because you're gonna be all blaaah.
I know you've had a lot of van troubles in the past—
Tell me about the van you have now, because didn't you have to go to California to get it?
Well, it was a Natural Child van, [it] broke down in… Iowa City? Somewhere horrible in a snow storm and we just left it in an alleyway there. So, on another tour I was expecting Seth to get some fancy new vehicle because they were kinda pro and we'd had music on movies and t.v. And I thought, "He's saving up all this money; he's gonna get a Sprinter or something crazy like that." And then he sends a picture and it's an old paddy wagon, basically. It's like the old chain gang van that you see on the side of the interstate. I thought, we're gonna have some problems with this thing, but we never did. So Seth moved to L.A. and didn't want to drive a big-ass van around. I went over, bought it, drove it back: no problems. Right when I pulled into town, a/c went out, something with the rotor was messed up, like, immediately. I've always had bad luck with vehicles. So I was kind of expecting something bad to happen, but it hasn't been horrible yet.
I thought it was more of a leisure van.
Well now it's a leisure van. We turned it into a leisure van but it was a prison van, from, I'm pretty sure, north Mississippi somewhere. It was funny: we found a bunch of old porn stuffed in the air vents. We had to take the siren lights off the top. Used to have the CB in it. We set up a little living room in there, a little L shape in the back. Got a cage built in the back now. All the locks in the back are disengaged. I got a kill switch on it. It's impenetrable. Even if somebody tries to steal it, they're not gonna be able to. So, it's a little ridiculous to drive for a solo act where I've got a couple of keyboards and a couple amps. But I can sleep in it. It's like a little hotel… I was trying to get a minivan but everybody I know that tours with a minivan, every time I see them come through they got a new minivan; they can get maybe two tours out of it. But I know people who've had Econolines—because [my van is] basically an Econoline, it's a Super Duty. I've seen people that have driven those up to 500,000 miles. You just gotta take care of them.
Yeah, too many bands don't respect that their vehicle is their live-or-die.
Yeah, and that's something that was new to me. When I went and bought that van with my own money… that's when I really learned: I have to appreciate this thing; I've gotta take care of it; I gotta get the oil changed; I gotta learn how to fix stuff myself. And I'm really into it now; I love it. I never thought I'd be a car person, put brake pads in myself, all that kind of shit. Never thought I'd care about that, but it's exciting.
What's your sci-fi poison? D&D, Philip K. Dick, Star Trek?
There's a lot of stuff I really like. I really like the Conan series [by Robert E. Howard]. I love those books; I've always loved those. When I was a kid I was a super Star Wars nerd… I liked all the side books, like Tales from Mos Eisley.
You read those? I mean, that's hardcore, not everybody does that.
Yeah, I read all those, I loved that. I've recently gotten into Star Trek: The Next Generation… I played Magic: The Gathering a lot when I was a kid, and the Star Wars card game. I don't know if you remember that one, it was just like Magic but Star Wars.
Tell me about the time Quintron broke his arm, and then you literally had to be his left hand?
Yeah, he broke it right in the midst of Mardi Gras season last year, and he had all these shows booked, including a big show in Chicago for one of their Empty Bottle anniversary things. So he was just like, "Hey, I know you can play keyboards… You want to be my left hand?" And I was like, "Absolutely." So it was very simple, you know? I mean, I say it was very simple, but his stuff is loose. It's not all set. He'll jam on something for a while, so there was that element to it.
How did that work logistically? Were you just standing behind him or next to him?
I would just stand next to him and he would look at me and be like, "Hey, this part's about to happen." We practiced a few times but it's not like we practiced a lot. Luckily I knew the songs because I'd listened to a lot of his stuff. We didn't do it perfect—I didn't nail it. I had to keep my eyes on him, you know, go back and forth and he would kind of look at me. I think it was the One Eyed Jacks show, we were in a position where I couldn't really look at him that well, and I kept looking over and he was just kind of like, "What???" It was a very loose kind of deal.
How did you get involved with Natural Child?
They used to come down and play here to basically nobody, and I was the only one that would party with them. And they hit me up one day: "We wanna be more country and we know you play keyboard—come do some country keyboard with us. We're gonna do a family band."
One common theme is you have backed a lot of extremely eccentric people. Do you ever think about that?
No, I've never really thought about that. That does make sense, I guess. I would like to think it's because I'm a good musician, but maybe it's just because I'm nice.
Yeah, it's a little of both.

Fiber 101: Why it's the reliable and practical way to have good internet connection in urban areas

Bangladesh has begun two days of mourning for 20 people, mostly foreigners, who were killed when militants attacked a popular restaurant in the capital Dhaka.
During the attack, which has been claimed by the so-called Islamic State militant group, seven gunmen took a number of hostages, and reportedly tortured and killed those who could not recite verses from the Qu'ran.
Thirteen hostages were saved after police launched a rescue operation.
Bangladesh police have said security forces may have mistakenly shot dead a hostage during the Dhaka restaurant attack, believing he was an attacker.
Saiful Islam, a senior police official in Dhaka, said Saiful Islam Chowkidar, a pizza maker at the Holey Artisan restaurant, was among six men who were killed when officers stormed the eatery to end a 12-hour siege.
Twenty people, mostly foreigners, were killed when militants attacked the popular restaurant in the capital city on Friday night.
During the attack, which has been claimed by the so-called Islamic State militant group, several gunmen took a number of hostages, and reportedly tortured and killed those who could not recite verses from the Qu'ran.
Authorities in Bangladesh had previously tried to arrest five of the gunmen involved in the Dhaka cafe attack.
Deputy Inspector General of Police Shahidur Rahman said that the attackers were mostly educated and from well-off families.
The 12 hour siege ended with police killing six of the gunmen. A seventh man was arrested, but authorities said that he is only a suspect and they are not sure of his role in the attack.
Bangladesh's home minister has denied that so-called Islamic State had any role in the deadly cafe attack.
Asaduzzaman Khan also dismissed the involvement of al Qaeda, saying that the gunmen were home-grown militants.
Mr Khan added that the gunmen in the attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery had made no demands when police had asked their intentions.
Three of the six gunmen killed were under the age of 22, he said, and added that they had been missing for six months.
Most of the 20 people killed by the attackers were foreigners, among them a US citizen.
Hostages in the Bangladesh cafe who were unable to recite verses from the Qu'ran were reportedly tortured and killed, while those who could were spared.
The 10-hour siege at the Holey Artisan Bakery in the country's capital Dhaka, ended with 20 hostages and two Bangladeshi police officers dead. Six of the attackers were also killed.
The gunmen asked everyone inside to recite from the Qu'ran. Those who recited were spared. The gunmen even gave them meals last night.
Those who could not recite from the Qu'ran "were tortured", Mr Karim added.
Authorities are currently interrogating one of the attackers who was captured by commandos during the rescue.
The White House has confirmed that a US citizen was among the 20 hostages killed in an attack on a cafe in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka.
So-called Islamic State have claimed responsibility for the attack.
So-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack on a Bangladesh cafe, saying it was targeting the citizens of "crusader countries".
The statement was circulated by supporters of the extremist group following the attack in the country's capital, Dhaka, which left 20 dead.
It is not yet clear if the leadership of so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was involved in the planning of the attack. The group has previously claimed attacks carried out by so-called lone wolf attackers with no known connection to the group.
The Islamic State have claimed responsibility for the attack on a cafe in the capital Dhaka, the Associated Press reports.
The group said it targeted foreigners in the attack, reports say.
BREAKING: Islamic State group claims attack in Bangladesh, says it targeted foreigners.
Bangladesh will stand up and fight the "terror threat" that has mushroomed in its backyard, the country's prime minister has said.
In a live television broadcast, Sheikh Hasina said the country stood "committed and determined" to uphold its freedom, and announced two days of national mourning in the wake of a deadly Islamist militant attack on an upmarket restaurant in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka.
Seven Japanese are among the dead in the Bangladesh cafe siege.
Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary YoshihideSuga confirmed that five men and two women had been killed.
At least 13 people have been rescued following the raid, according to a Bangladeshi official.

Why I'm in love with 1 Star Reviews
This morning when I was skimming through some Amazon book reviews of Frank Viola's Pagan Christianity, I realized something interesting about myself- I naturally gravitate toward 1 Star Reviews. Perhaps it's because these reviews are often more spicy, contrary, and provocative than any of the other reviews out there, but moreover it's because readers who really hate a book, and still find time to leave feedback for the rest of us detailing why, are generally a good source of information about whether or not the book is going to resonate with me personally.
You see, single star reviewers- unless they resort to one sentence write-offs like, "I hated this book, don't buy it."- are sometimes the most detailed of all reviewers. In an attempt to debunk the content or prove why the book is a waste of time, they etch out a rebuttal based on their own research or their own opinion. And in doing so, they give a focused summary of the content with a running commentary that usually reveals the bias of the reviewer. Reading about the content of the book under the lens of a clearly stated bias is a great way to get a good understanding of the material without getting sucked into the worldview of the author.
So, as long as you read each review and ask yourself "Does reviewer sound like he's on the same page as me when it comes to style preference, orthodoxy, and interests?" These negative reviews often make a lot more sense and are a lot more useful than the 5 Star Fanboy Reviews that often make up the majority of each book's review section.
I've even come up with a little catch-phrase that I like to throw around whenever I'm looking at reviews: Skip to the Naysayers!
When I Skipped to the Naysayers, I discovered out how controversial The Shack was, and I actually decided to read it. Prior to this, I had no interest in it at all.
When I Skipped to the Naysayers, I found a wonderful a stroke of irony surrounding the critics of Jesus Wants to Save Christians (who are probably the intended audience of Rob Bell's book); they are so wrapped up in Americanized Christianity that they fail to understand the content and will also fail to be "saved" by the message.
When I Skipped to the Naysayers, I realized that the only people who hated the movie Hotel Rwanda were a racist who was disappointed with the minimal levels of carnage and violence simply because he hated Africa- and this other guy who wanted the R-Rated gore-fest so that Westerners would realize how bad it really was over there.
What it really comes down to is that single star reviews, when they are the minority view, give me a better idea of what's to love & hate about a book (or movie) before I buy it.
And besides, I love the controversy:
I love to see contrary opinions and whether or not they hold water.
Chris link
Skip To The Naysayers sounds like a great name for a 1-star review blog...
I tend to agree with you here.
javejavor link
Hey, i think you´re absolutely right there, Nathan!. I usually go to Amazon to check out the reviews after having read the book/seen the movie and often the "I hate that thing" reviews are interesting, to say the least.
Concerning "The Shack": I read, based not on Amazon, but because I was given it by a non-Christian friend who loved it. Haven´t talked to her about it yet. Still, in my opinion, it is a highly interesting analysis. Wasn´t in love though with the actual writing. Even if I´m not English-speaking, the writing in itself (especially the descriptions in the first chapters) sounded clumsy and hastily written. This does not undermine the interesting "theological" middle chapters in any way whatsoever, but it is certainly no masterpiece when it comes to the story written around the theological side of it.
Nathan link
Stylistically, I think THE SHACK would have been a better book without the attempt at flashback. It could have just begun at the beginning with the tragedy / investigation and then moved onward from there.
Flashbacks are better left to LOST (the TV show).
Nathan Key likes to think about faith and philosophy and talk about it with others. He lives with his family in New Hampshire. He doesn't always refer to himself in the third person.


This "The Vortex" video asserts that Fr. James Martin being a heretic might explain the Jesuit media darling's animus against Church Militant TV as much as the cancelled public appearances.
"[T]o foster a more prefect life to promote public worship or Christian doctrine or to exercise other works of the apostolate such as initiatives of evangelization, works of piety or charity and those which animate the temporal order with a Christian spirit."
Moreover, Fr. Martin rails "Traditional Catholics" subverting tradition by challenging legitimate Church authorities. However, Canon 212(3) recognizes the right, and even the duty, to make their opinions on faith and morality known to their public.
Michael Voris paints the internecine struggle as being heretics versus the Catholics. A more charitable viewpoint is progressive ultramontanism versus upholders of traditional Magisterium.
Our Church shepherds are owed our allegiance when they preach the Gospel in accords with the Magisterium. Alas, as seen in Amoris Laetitia, progressive pastoral proposals dealing with marriage are treated as almost as Ex Cathedra announcements, even when the aforementioned Apostolic Exhortation did not align with the sensus fidae of the Extraordinary Synods on the Family.
"Blessed" Alan de la Roche, O.P. (1428-1475) was a 15th Century friar who is considered to be the restorer of the Dominican Rosary. Although Alan has no official Church feast day, he is unofficially honored on September 8th, which is also the feast for the Nativity of Mary.
According to Dominican tradition, St. Dominic (1170-1221) founded the Rosary in 1208 as a meditative prayer which sought to spiritually combat the Albigensian heresy (which believed that only spiritual realities were good and vehemently opposed God taking flesh in Jesus Christ). But this meditative Marian prayer featuring just the Angelic Salutation and the Evangelical Salutation fell into disuse during the 14th Century during the era of the Black Death in Europe.
Blessed Alan stressed the 15 mysteries of the Dominican Rosary, rather than the alternative of 50 clauses of the Carthusian Rosary. Moreover, the 150 Hail Marys imitated the 150 psalms of the Old Testament, which harkened back to the proto-origins of the lay Marian psalter. Blessed Alan was successful at renewing popular devotion to the Rosary and reinvigorating the Confraternity of the Rosary. The Confraternity featured "after death" benefits for Rosarians. Thus Blessed Alan de la Roche may be considered one the greatest champions of the Rosary to ever live.
Although Blessed Alan wrote an instructional pamphlet Book and Ordinance regarding the renewal of the Dominican Rosary, about 1/3 of the Vatican documents were lost after Napoleon sacked the Vatican archives from 1810-1813. So much of quotable material about Blessed Alan comes from St. Louis de Montfort (1673-1716) whose 18th Century works True Devotions to the Blessed Virgin and The Secret of the Rosary were buried in a field in France for over 125 years, thereby escaping the irreligious impulses of the French Revolution.

Liberal Party standard bearer Mar Roxas on Saturday branded as "a big lie" the view peddled by some in social media that the Philippines enjoyed its golden years under President Ferdinand Marcos.
Roxas was responding to a comment by one of the thousands of students and graduates who attended the #daangmatuwidpamore youth conference at the Kia Theatre at Araneta Gateway in Quezon City that echoed the view that the economy under the Aquino administration paled in comparison to the Marcos years from 1965 to 1986.
"That is not true. During the time of Marcos, average economic growth was only 3 percent. In the past five years, the economy grew by more than 6 percent every year, or more than double," said Roxas.
He said that more important than the actual numbers, the Aquino administration was better than the Marcos dictatorship because nobody plundered the government.
"This administration has no record of human rights violations…and the field was leveled for all sectors through the expansion of Philhealth and the conditional cash transfer program," Roxas said.
In an interview with reporters after the youth event, Roxas said the misleading yarn about the "golden" Marcos years only showed that they (the Marcoses) had not stopped their propaganda nearly 30 years after they were kicked out of Malacañang through the Edsa People Power revolt.
"There are forces in our society waiting for the chance to bring back the immoral, crooked and corrupt past. We have to continue with our reforms and be alert," said Roxas.
Despite lagging behind in the recent Pulse Asia survey, Roxas said he was optimistic he and his running mate, Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo, would come out on top in next year's polls.
The latest survey showed Roxas ranking third in the presidential race behind Sen. Grace Poe and Vice President Jejomar Binay. Robredo was fourth in the vice presidential race behind Senators Francis Escudero, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and Alan Peter Cayetano.
"Survey results go up and down. The real judgement on me and Leni is still to come. We will continue to present our platform," said Roxas.

dc.description.abstract Background: Despite effective radiotherapy for the initial stages of cancer, several studies have reported the recurrence of various cancers, including medulloblastoma. Here, we attempt to capitalize on the radiation-induced aggressive behavior of medulloblastoma cells by comparing the extracellular protease activity and the expression pattern of molecules, known to be involved in cell adhesion, migration and invasion, between non-irradiated and irradiated cells. Methodology/Principal Findings: We identified an increase in invasion and migration of irradiated compared to nonirradiated medulloblastoma cells. RT-PCR analysis confirmed increased expression of uPA, uPAR, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), N-Cadherin and integrin subunits (e.g., a3, a5 and b1) in irradiated cells. Furthermore, we noticed a ,2-fold increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK in irradiated cells. Immunoprecipitation studies confirmed increased interaction of integrin b1 and FAK in irradiated cells. In addition, our results show that overexpression of uPAR in cancer cells can mimic radiationinduced activation of FAK signaling. Moreover, by inhibiting FAK phosphorylation, we were able to reduce the radiationinduced invasiveness of the cancer cells. In this vein, we studied the effect of siRNA-mediated knockdown of uPAR on cell migration and adhesion in irradiated and non-irradiated medulloblastoma cells. Downregulation of uPAR reduced the radiation-induced adhesion, migration and invasion of the irradiated cells, primarily by inhibiting phosphorylation of FAK, Paxillin and Rac-1/Cdc42. As observed from the immunoprecipitation studies, uPAR knockdown reduced interaction among the focal adhesion molecules, such as FAK, Paxillin and p130Cas, which are known to play key roles in cancer metastasis. Pretreatment with uPAR shRNA expressing construct reduced uPAR and phospho FAK expression levels in pre-established medulloblastoma in nude mice. Conclusion/Significance: Taken together, our results show that radiation enhances uPAR-mediated FAK signaling and by targeting uPAR we can inhibit radiation-activated cell adhesion and migration both in vitro and in vivo. en

Q: How to set x button for delete records on database on every row using listview-xamarin I have listview to which I add the names of cities. I have a field to enter ID and a button to delete the name. Is there an option to place an X button on each line against each added name to delete the name without manually adding ID and pressing a button ?
My xaml code:
            <StackLayout HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Start">
            <Label Margin="0,0,0,10" Text="SQLite" FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="Large" TextColor="Gray" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" ></Label>
            <Entry x:Name="txtPersonId" Placeholder="PersonId Update and Delete"></Entry>
            <StackLayout HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Orientation="Horizontal">
            <Button x:Name="btnDelete" WidthRequest="200" Text="Delete" Clicked="BtnDelete_Clicked" />
            </StackLayout>
            <ListView x:Name="lstPersons">
                <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextCell Text="{Binding Name}" Detail="{Binding PersonID}"></TextCell>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ListView.ItemTemplate>
            </ListView>
            </StackLayout>

My xaml.cs look like:
 private async void BtnDelete_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(txtPersonId.Text))
        {
            //Get Person
            var person = await App.SQLiteDb.GetItemAsync(Convert.ToInt32(txtPersonId.Text));
            if (person != null)
            {
                //Delete Person
                await App.SQLiteDb.DeleteItemAsync(person);
                txtPersonId.Text = string.Empty;
                await DisplayAlert("Success", "Person Deleted", "OK");

                //Get All Persons
                var personList = await App.SQLiteDb.GetItemsAsync();
                if (personList != null)
                {
                    lstPersons.ItemsSource = personList;
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            await DisplayAlert("Required", "Please Enter PersonID", "OK");
        }
    }

A:
How to set x button for delete records on database on every row using listview-xamarin

You can take a look custom cell in ListView firstly, then take a look the following code:
   <ListView x:Name="lstPersons">
            <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <ViewCell>
                        <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
                            <Label Text="{Binding PersonID}" />
                            <Label HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Text="{Binding Name}" />
                            <Button
                                Clicked="Button_Clicked"
                                HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand"
                                Text="Delete a record" />
                        </StackLayout>
                    </ViewCell>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListView.ItemTemplate>
        </ListView>

Then you can delete current ListView row by Button.click, loading ListView data again.
  private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var btn = sender as Button;
        var person = btn.BindingContext as personclass;
        //delete this item.
        //......
    }

Pandora and SiriusXM announced that the Grammy Award-nominated, multiplatinum powerhouse trio Jonas Brothers will perform an exclusive concert in New York at Pandora LIVE on August 20 for Pandora listeners and SiriusXM subscribers. The platinum-certified global pop sensation Ava Max has been tapped to open the show that will take place at Webster Hall.
Pandora listeners who are 18+ can RSVP for the free event here. SiriusXM's hosts of The Morning Mash Up – Nicole Ryan, Stanley T and Ryan Sampson – will host the evening. The performance by Jonas Brothers will broadcast over Labor Day weekend on SiriusXM Hits 1 (Ch. 2).
The trio of Nick, Joe and Kevin returned this year with their hit single "Sucker," which spent 16 consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of the Pandora Top Spins Chart, and was predicted to be one of Pandora's Songs of Summer. Continuing the runaway success, "Cool" has notched millions of global streams, and the band is about to kick off a national arena tour next month in support of their recent No. 1 album, Happiness Begins.
Dubbed the "Princess of Pop" by V Magazine and "Artist You Need to Know" by Rolling Stone, opener Ava Max has been a constant on the Pandora Trendsetters Chart with her debut track, "Sweet But Psycho." The song recently topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart and also cracked the Top 10 on the Hot 100 chart. So far, she's earned 85 million lifetime streams on Pandora and certainly has many more to come with her newest track, "So Am I."
This event marks the culmination of Pandora's Sound On Summer campaign that kicked off in May with the announcement of songs of summer predictions and exclusive live events across the country with DJ Khaled, Thomas Rhett, Maren Morris, Natti Natasha and Lady Gaga.
Pandora will build out a multi-level interactive event for guests, including unique onsite experiences and giveaways. Pandora LIVE sponsors for this event include Cigna Corporation, Discover, Hinge, Klondike®, Pantene , Spectrum and St. Ives®.

Salfordville is located in Upper Salford Township, Mongomery County, PA. Upper Salford Township municipal offices are located in Salfordville, PA 18958. It is a great place to live and work. Although you may not be aware of it, radon is prevalent in Salfordville, placing you and your loved ones at risk.
Salfordville has a rich history. With the arrival of the railroad in 1868, Salfordville, which prospered without railroad or trolley, grew around an old inn. By 1877 it contained a post office, general store, cigar factory, and 19 homes. The Village of Salfordville was originally situated on a main route between the "upper country" and Philadelphia, from which it was a distant thirty-five miles, and became an early settlement in Montgomery County.
Scientific analysis of radon levels in homes in Salfordville and many other Pennsylvania cities have found that 10% or more of homes contain dangerous levels of radon. Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can be removed from the house though radon mitigation.
On average, 20,000 Americans die each year from radon exposure. Most of the exposure happens in their own home, where radon has a chance to build up over time because it is trapped by the walls and foundation. The percentage of radon contamination in Bucks County homes can be very high. Radon in Salfordville affects on average 10-40% of all homes.

Home Technology Electronic Warfare Home on the Range
Dr. Thomas Withington
RAF Spadeadam (USAF) – A US Air Force Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk combat search and rescue helicopter is seen here overflying the RAF Spadeadam electronic warfare training range.
The Royal Air Force's RAF Spadeadam electronic warfare training range gets a new commander.
"I wandered lonely as a cloud, that floats on high o'er vales and hills," wrote William Wordsworth in his eponymous 1815 poem, commonly known as Daffodils. Mr. Wordsworth is pre-eminent in a legion of bards roused by the breath-taking vistas of north west England's Lake District.
Yet this green and pleasant land is home to one of the world's foremost electronic warfare training centres. RAF Spadeadam, takes its name from ysbyddaden, the word for hawthorn, in the now-extinct early medieval Brittonic language of Cumbric. Originally developed as a test site for the UK's de Havilland Blue Streak nuclear-tipped intermediate range ballistic missile the Royal Air Force (RAF) took over the site in 1976 following Blue Streak's cancellation. Since then, it has been used for close air support and electronic warfare training. RAF and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation aircraft can fly against real and simulated ground-based air defence radio frequency and infrared-guided threats that they might expect to see during operations.
Simulated Threats
In early June Wing Commander Matt Lawrence returned to lead RAF Spadeadam, much as he had done six years before. He told Armada Analysis that the station's mission continues to be the provision of "world class operationally-representative electronic warfare training and trials facilities to UK and Allied military personnel, wherever and whenever required." These training and trials facilities include several 'real world' threats:
A full NIIP/Vympel 2K12 Kub (NATO reporting name SA-6 Gainful) low/medium range Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system.
Two Znamya Truda Plant 9K33 Osa (NATO reporting name SA-8 Gecko) low-altitude SAM systems.
A MMZ ZSU-23-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) system.
An Oerlikon Contraves/Rheinmetall Skyguard X-band (8.5 gigahertz/GHz to 10.68GHz) ground-based fire control radar.
Wg Cdr. Lawrence says that "these systems remain widely deployed globally, and could be used against RAF aircraft in future conflicts." Alongside these systems, the facility uses a US Dynamics Corporation AN/MPS-T1/43 simulator. The AN/MPS-T1/43 can mimic the transmissions of the radars equipping the Laochkin S-75 Dvina (NATO reporting name SA-2 Guideline) high altitude/long-range SAM system.
These radars include P-12 (NATO reporting name Spoon Rest-A) very high frequency (133 megahertz/MHz to 144MHz/216MHz to 225MHz) ground-based air surveillance radars and SNR-75 (NATO reporting name Fan Song) S-band (2.3GHz to 2.5GHz/2.7GHz to 3.7GHz) fire control radars. The AN/MPS-T1/43 may also simulate the IRL13/P-15 (NATO reporting name Flat Face-A) ultra-high frequency (420MHz to 450MHz/890MHz to 942MHz) ground-based air surveillance radar and PRW-11 (NATO reporting name Side Net) S-band height-finding radars equipping the S-75's regimental headquarters.
The US Dynamics Corporation says that the AN/MPS-T1/43 can also simulate radars used by the Almaz-Antey S-125 Neva/Pechora (NATO reporting name SA-3 Goa). These include the SNR-125 (NATO reporting name Low Blow) L-band fire control radar, the IRL13/P-15 system and the PRV-11 (NATO reporting name Side Net) S-band height-finding radar. Systems like the AN/MPS-T1/43 can transmit representative radar signals for detection by an aircraft's radar warning receiver. Alongside these simulated RF threats, RAF Spadeadam has tools for mimicking infrared and ultraviolet-guided threats, notably the Textron Systems Man-Portable Aircrew Survivability Trainer or MAST.
Interestingly, the base can be used to train large packages of aircraft with geographically dispersed threats. Some of the simulators at Spadeadam are mobile and can be moved to other locations in the UK. Similarly, representative threats at Spadeadam can be networked to provide a very dense electromagnetic environment says Wg. Cdr. Lawrence. This allows the simulation of complex threats like integrated air defence systems.
Although day-to-day business at RAF Spadeadam has been disrupted by the global Covid-19 pandemic, Wg. Cdr. Lawrence states that the range sees aircraft performing EW training daily. Users include RAF combat aircraft such as Eurofighter Typhoon F/GR4A jets, and planes from across NATO.
Safety is a major consideration at RAF Spadeadam. Combat aircraft often fly at low altitudes when training to avoid radar threats, says Wg. Cdr. Lawrence. Spadeadam has primary and secondary air traffic control radars. These track aircraft using the range and to ensure that threat systems are pointing in the right direction towards their target. Air traffic controllers at Spadeadam also monitor local airspace to guard against civil aircraft infringements. "This provides an additional layer of safety for everyone," Wg. Cdr. Lawrence remarks.
Several of the SAM systems at the base have been upgraded over the last five years. These have made them "representative of the modern threats deployed across the globe today," notes Wg. Cdr. Lawrence. In the future, he expects "incremental enhancements to our existing threat fleet" and command and control systems to continue, improving "the capability of our existing threat systems."

In the FAI guide one can find detailed instructions on how to use KVM, however it is quite possible to use any virtual machine, as in hypervisor, solution such as VirtualBox or VMWare.
The biggest obstacle is setting up the network between the host and various client machines correctly. There are two different setups.
Bridged network: All VMs and the host machine share the same network via a bridged network. The DHCP server does not need to be under your control.
Private network: A new private network for all VM running FAI will be created.
The FAI server will be installed from CD or USB stick by selecting the menu entry FAI server installation - using external DHCP. It will get an IP address from the DHCP server.
For this setup to work, you obviously require a DHCP server already running in the network. In most home networks, that would usually be the router.
Simply create your virtual machine as usual, but instead of using a NAT for networking, select bridged adapter.
For the clients, use the same network settings as for the FAI server.
In this setup, the FAI server will also be the DHCP server and the server and the install clients run in a separate private network different from the host's network. The IP of the install server will be 192.168.33.250.
Then continue with creating the host-only network inside your VM software.
If you use KVM and the fai-kvm tool, you first need to create a software bridge in a private network on your host machine. The tap devices will belong to user username.
The script fai-mk-network will create nine tap devices and a bridge which has the IP 192.168.33.1. The script will also enable forwarding and NAT.
On the host you see the network of the host system (here 111.222.33....) and our new private network 192.168.33.0/24.
You have to enable IP forwarding and NAT on the host machine. Create a Host-only network in VirtualBox. This will be done in the main menu, not in the settings of a VM.
Add a new network, this will become vboxnet0. Edit the preferences of this new network. Set the IP address to 192.168.33.1 or any other address which will not be used. Remember .250 will be used by the install server. It's very important to disable the DHCP server in this network!
Then, for each VM choose the host-only Adapter vboxnet0 in the settings of each VM.
Now you can boot the FAI CD and install you FAI server using the menu FAI server installation - using fixed IP. Your VM install clients can be booted from the network card using iPXE.

Meryl Streep told she was 'too ugly' to play a part in film
By Kate Hassett	| November 12, 2015
Meryl Streep was told she was "too ugly" in an audition, to appear in King Kong.
Earlier this week, an unofficial Meryl L. Streep Facebook page posted an image of the actress riding the subway in the late 70's.
Underneath the image, an inspirational message about never letting go of your dreams and believing in yourself, followed.
It read:
Whilst the photo, and the general story behind the image is true, the information given in this post is not. However, in an interview earlier this year, Streep recounted to Graham Norton that she was indeed cast aside from 'King Kong' for not being attractive enough to the Director.
"It was Dino De Laurentiis Senior, and his son had seen me in a play and so I went up to the top of the 'Gulf and Western Building, like the 33rd floor and he had this amazing office that looked all over Manhattan. I walked in and his son was in there very excited that he'd brought in this new actress.
'And the father said to his son – in Italian, because I understand Italian – he said "brutta", you know, "why do you bring me this ugly thing?"
It was very sobering as a young girl. So I said to him…"I understand what you're saying, I'm sorry I'm not beautiful enough to be in King Kong."
Whilst Streep sees the humour in it now, she told Graham Norton in January that "young actors should take solace" knowing that there was a time where even a legendary actress had a bad audition.
Whilst the original post was seemingly misleading, its message of hope, perseverance and determination is one that the real Streep would be happy to lend her name to.

Hello there, I'm not sure where to post this but chose here, hope it's ok here. Anyway, I'm doing a feature on YouTube, how far can I get in Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly in 20 parts. So far I've uploaded 3 parts.
Will I beat it, I donno.
lol nope, too much waiting time between levels, ain't no way you can finish it.
That way, everyone who still talks about EtD will see it.
Thank you for moving it, no problem.
By the way, I think you can finish it in 20 if you can handle the Speedway challenges. Honestly, those were the worst parts for me.
I guess it will depend on the duration of your parts.
Well I've recorded 11 parts so far, and some are longer than others. I guess I aim to record maybe 1 part that's 14 minutes etc, and another part maybe 20 minutes or over that. I'm just slowly pacing myself, and see what happens during recording.
Thanks, Here's part 6, with that swimming glitch.
Ah, I apperciate that. The later parts see me go crazy, because the game is trolling and glitching lol.
This feature is on hiatus until YouTube decides to process the next part. All 20 parts are recorded, just YouTube are having issues, as usual.
I've been unable to upload Part 8 recently, it is 20 minutes long. YouTube are so lazy that they can't process it. They've pretty much forced me in to splitting up the video in to 2 bits now. So Part 8 will have two parts, sorry about this.
Part 11. Glitching through the barn door, darn glitches!
xD I'm not sure if you can make it... but I wish you the best of luck!
I should pick this game up again and play it another time..
The remaining parts have been recorded, I won't spoil whether I beat it or not. Thank you for the support. Oh god, I wish you the best of luck playing this piece of trash, because I actually hated this game come the end of my last part, it's worse than Bubsy 3D, and that's saying something lol.
Part 18. Sparx is trolling me a lot.
Part 19. The game freezes on me, urghhhhh.
Nice to see you post this on here, I've been watching the series!
Part 20, the final part. Thanks for watching this feature.
It was really fun to watch while it was going.
Thanks, I'm sorry I couldn't beat the game. I tried my best.


This paper introduces modifications to the traditional viscous-plastic sea-ice dynamical model, which are necessary to model land-fast ice in the Kara Sea in a realistic manner. The most important modifications are an increase in the maximum viscosity from the standard value of zeta_max=(2.5e8 s)P to zeta_max=(1e13 s)P, and to use a solver for the momentum equation capable of correctly solving for small ice velocities (the limit here is set to 1e-4 m/s). Given these modifications, a necessary condition for a realistic fast-ice simulation is that the yield curve give sufficient uniaxial compressive strength. This is consistent with the idea that land-fast ice in the Kara Sea forms primarily via static arching. The modified model is tested and tuned using forcing data and observations from 1997 and 1998. The results show that it is possible to model land-fast ice using this model with the modifications mentioned above. The model performs well in terms of modeled fast-ice extent, but suffers from unrealistic break-ups during the start and end of the fast-ice season. The main results are that fast ice in the Kara Sea is supported by arching of the ice, the arches footers resting on a chain of islands off shore.

Benno Carl Crede (also: Carl Benno Crede; 1847-1929) was Carl Siegmund Franz Crede's son [70-72]. Despite his christian name Benno, he also appears under the name Carl Crede in the literature. Crede studied medicine and specialized as a surgeon in Dresden, Germany, thereafter.
Scientifically, Crede followed the steps of his father in so far as performing research activities on silver in colloidal form, which he introduced into medical practice in 1897. This was possible by collaboration with the company "Chemische Fabrik von Heyden", and led to the development of the "Collargolum Crede" ("Collargol") [73, 74] for systemic, parenteral therapy. Thus, it should be highlighted that the "Collargolum Crede" goes back to Benno Carl Crede and not to his father, Carl Siegmund Franz Crede.
Wrong information concerning Crede is deriving from the internet, which is found in the biography of Otto Spiegelberg : "After the closing of the Monatsschrift für Geburtshilfe und Frauenkrankheiten (appeared 1853-1869) Spiegelberg and Carl Benno Crede (1847-1929) in 1870 founded the Archiv für Gynäkologie, of which almost every volume contained a contribution of his". Actually, the editors of the "Archiv für Gynäkologie" were "(Otto) Spiegelberg" and "Credé", in this case Carl Siegmund Franz Credé and not his son, Benno Carl Credé.
Carl Crede (Carl Crede-Hoerder; 1878-1952) [76, 77], a physician, had an uncle - who was also a physician - with the name Dr. Hoerder. Later on Carl Crede incidentially took over the name Carl Crede-Hoerder. He further used his synonym "Credo". He was politically extremely active and a co-founder of the "Verein sozialistischer Ärzte" (Association of physicians following socialists' ideology). In his position as physician he specialized in gynecology and obstetrics. Due to his political activities, Crede spent several years in prison, following the (unjustified?) accusation of violation of the German law concerning abortion (§218 StGB; Germany).
In 1913, he published a scientifically less significant paper on "Die Augeneiterung der Neugeborenen, Pathologie, Therapie und Prophylaxe"  (Ophthalmia neonatorum, etiology, pathology, therapy and prophylaxis). In the present author's estimation, the motivation for this publication was to be brought together with the ideas of Carl Sigmund Franz Crede, possibly to cause confusion. If or how Crede was related to Carl Siegmund Franz Crede remains historically unclear.
I would like to express my thanks for assistance especially to the staff of the "ZB MED/Deutsche Zentralbibliothek für Medizin" (The German National Library of Medicine) in Cologne, Germany.

Barbara was a caring friend and supporter of all animals, particularly her own wonderful cat Chaplin, who tragically succumbed to cancer shortly after Barbara's death and her god dog, Benny, and she was a 20-year veteran wildlife docent for the Central Park Zoo. Barbara's strong sense of indignity for those who abused or ignored the plight of all animals will be missed terribly by all of us who knew and relied upon her unwavering commitment.


Senior Planning provides resources for Arizona seniors to help find pet friendly assisted living, as well as pet friendly nursing homes and memory care communities. We also work with seniors that are more independent to help find pet friendly independent senior living.
If you are looking for pet friendly assisted living in Arizona, the first step is to identify the needs of the individual who needs care and work with them to find the best fit. We understand that not everybody is mobile and able to meet us at our office. We are more than happy to schedule an appointment for an assessment at a location of your choosing. After the assessment, Senior Planning can provide you with a list of pet friendly assisted living and pet friendly memory care communities.
If you have an Arizona pet friendly assisted living, group home, or memory care community in mind, Senior Planning can help you get inspection information as well as Arizona Department of Health Services records. Most of our clients are unaware that the Arizona Department of Health keeps records on all licensed care facilities. In Arizona, there is no official rating metrics other than surveys and violations for pet friendly nursing homes, pet friendly memory care communities, pet friendly group homes, and pet friendly senior apartments. We are more than happy to get a record for you from the state with the inspection and violations the care community has. For the past decade, Senior Planning has placed residents throughout Arizona in pet friendly communities. That being said, we can provide valuable feedback from them, to you, on their experiences so you can make the most informed decision possible.
We understand that some people prefer to search on their own. No problem. If you would rather search on your own without the help of one of our agents, we are more than happy to provide you a list of pet friendly communities throughout the state. This is an invaluable resource because unless you have been in this business as long as us, there is really no way to find a comprehensive list. Let us know which city you are looking for pet friendly senior assisted living in, and we can take it from there. If you have specific preferences to layout, amenities, or anything else, simply let us know and we can tailor the list. If the request is urgent, it is best to call our office directly to speak with one of our agents who will more quickly assist you. Our turn around time is very fast and we are more than happy to either mail or email you the list depending upon your preferences. We can also send out a packet of brochures from matching communities.


I'm back with the first week results of my Subscribe to Smooth Challenge. A week ago, I signed up for the 30-day challenge given by Gillette Venus wherein I had to use their new razor for hair removal and share the weekly results with you all.
So after trying it on my arms and legs for over seven days, I noticed that my skin is as soft and smooth as before and I have absolutely no complaints. I know that many of you are apprehensive when it comes to shaving but trust me, if you do it the right way you'll agree with me.
Always use the Gillette Venus razor on wet skin. It is recommended that you use it with Gillette Satin Care shaving gel.
Never apply too much pressure while shaving as it can lead to cuts.
Gillette venus razor is designed for single stroke shaving and has a blue aloe vera strip attached to the blade to prevent bruises and leave the skin smooth and soft.
This strip fades off when its time to change the blade.
Use the razor in the direction of hair for proper hair growth.
Store the razor in a dry place to avoid bacteria and rusting.
The myth that shaving causes skin to become dry and flaky has been surely busted if you ask me. I'm loving the results!
See for yourself if you don't believe me.
I'm going to wait for another few days for it to grow back and then share my experience with you all.
P.S: If you loved this outfit, you can get it here.
I agree. The Gillette Venus Razor and Satin Care is GODSEND!
It is smooth and such a delight. Never knew shaving could be this smooth!

"My idea is to have nothing left. Absolutely nothing," he told The Daily Telegraph. "Money is counterproductive – it prevents happiness to come."
Instead, he will move out of his luxury Alpine retreat into a small wooden hut in the mountains or a simple bedsit in Innsbruck.
His entire proceeds are going to charities he set up in Central and Latin America, but he will not even take a salary from these.
"For a long time I believed that more wealth and luxury automatically meant more happiness," he said. "I come from a very poor family where the rules were to work more to achieve more material things, and I applied this for many years," said Mr Rabeder.
But over time, he had another, conflicting feeling.
"More and more I heard the words: 'Stop what you are doing now – all this luxury and consumerism – and start your real life'," he said. "I had the feeling I was working as a slave for things that I did not wish for or need. I have the feeling that there are lot of people doing the same thing."
