WINDY CITY TIMES
Legal titan Pat Logue, and her impact on many LGBT people
by Carrie Maxwell, Windy City Times
Politics and social justice causes have been parts of award-winning retired Cook County Circuit Court Associate Justice Pat Logue's life since childhood.
Logue, who now is living with Alzheimer's disease, is also Lambda Legal's former Midwest constitutional litigation director. Her contributions as both an activist and a jurist will long be felt by members of the LGBT community.
"Pat was my mentor," said Lambda Legal Director of Constitutional Litigation Camilla Taylor. "She was a brilliant lawyer, leader and a champion of our boldest, bravest arguments. Pat won precedent-setting, first-of-its-kind victories all over the country. She was a visionary, risk-taker, optimist and always chose the boldest path to victory."
Logue grew up in a suburb outside of Philadelphia, where she lived with her parents and five siblings. Both her parents were deeply engaged in the civil rights and gender equality movements, protesting against the Vietnam War and campaigning for Democratic candidates. Logue's father, a political science professor, ran unsuccessful campaigns for the U.S. Senate four times and co-founded the World Federalist Association's Philadelphia chapter.
Logue graduated from Brown University, where she earned a degree in American Civilization, and Northwestern University School of Law. During law school, she came out as a lesbian.
"My law school years, in terms of the lesbian and gay stuff, was taken up with the coming-out process," Logue recalled in a 2007 interview on the Chicago Gay History website. "My friends and I got involved in orchestrating Chicago's bid for the National Conference on Women and the Law, which took place here in 1986, I believe. That involved 175 workshops on a range of issues, but more than average lesbian and gay content and a lot of related issues."
Logue remained in Chicago after graduating, first working for Jenner & Block while doing pro-bono cases for Lambda Legal. She next moved to Business and Professional People for the Public Interest for three years, where she fought against Commonwealth Edison's rate increases, among other cases.
When Logue moved to Lambda Legal in 1993, she had already been a board member for five years. During her 14 years running the Lambda Legal Midwest Office, she held numerous positions. Among her hires were now Chicago Commission on Human Relations Chair and Commissioner Mona Noriega, who was Logue's first staff member.
"Those initial years setting up the office were just her and I, in a shared office, with one desk and one phone," said Noriega. "Although Pat was younger than me, her litigator training and laser focus in building precedent and changing the landscape for LGBT civil rights inspired me."
Noriega said it was Logue who made her realize that she too was an activist.
"Pat was then, and still is, a hero to me," said Noriega."I learned to be more thoughtful and strategic, and I like to think that I made her laugh. LGBT civil rights, here in Chicago, the state of Illinois and in this country have been touched, driven and impacted by Pat Logue. I am forever indebted to her."
Logue's wife, Marcia Festen, said that among the Lambda Legal issues and cases Logue was most proud of contributing to were those securing joint adoption rights for same-sex parents in Illinois; the ( Jamie ) Nabozny v. Podlesny case in Wisconsin, wherein the U.S. appellate court ruled for the first time that public schools could be held liable for failing to protect LGBT students from being bullied; the Lawrence v. Hardwick Supreme Court case, because striking down sodomy laws nationwide opened the door to marriage equality; and the Bud Billiken case that resulted in LGBT contingents being able to march in that iconic parade.
"Pat also had an encyclopedic command of constitutional doctrine, but her writing was never stale or academic," recalled Taylor. "She helped me understand that the path to winning in court is introducing the court to the common humanity and dignity of LGBT people through story-telling."
Taylor also praised how Logue never invoked pity for the organization's clients, though Logue was tasked with telling "stories of people who had been through hell as a result of the discrimination and oppression we were challenging. … She gave our clients back their dignity, and challenged judges to see in our clients a version of themselves. That was part of Pat's genius."
While Logue was working at Lambda Legal, she met Festen. Like a number of long-term gay and lesbian couples, their matrimonial journey had a number of steps; Festen and Logue had a commitment ceremony in 2002, and were legally married on the beach during a family reunion in 2008 at Martha's Vineyard's Edgartown Lighthouse.
"We realized that, since we were in Massachusetts, we could officially tie the knot," Festen recalled. "So with a day's notice, Pat's cousin, the town clerk, found us a Justice of the Peace who got us our license very quickly. It was all rather spontaneous."
They adopted Ruby, who is now 16, in 2003 in Louisiana, and Ella, now 14, in 2005 in Washington State.
In April 2007, Logue left Lambda Legal when she was appointed Cook County Circuit Court associate judge. She worked for 10 years in family court hearing child custody and divorce cases, joining a handful of openly LGBT Cook County judges. In her role as a judge, Logue married a number of couples, among them Noriega and Evette Cardona, and Vernita Gray, now deceased, and Pat Ewert. She also performed Noriega and Cardona's 2011 civil union in Millennium Park.
"When we won marriage equality, my first call was to Evette, to meet me at the county clerk's office so we could immediately secure a marriage license," said Noriega. "My second call was to Pat to ask if we could come to her house, that weekend, so she could officially marry us. With only two days notice, Marcia and Pat opened their home [and] served cake and champagne, and Pat married us."
"I vividly remember Judge Pat Logue on the day of our wedding, Nov. 27, 2013," said Ewert. "She was grinning from ear to ear, and performed a meaningful and heartfelt service. Afterward she said she had never performed a wedding that meant as much to her as ours. Pat has spent her life doing important 'firsts' for our community. She is an amazing woman."
Logue recently received Lambda Legal's Bon Foster Liberty Award in 2018 and the 2019 American Constitutional Society Chicago lawyer chapter Abner Mikva Legal Legends Award.
In addition to Logue's numerous awards, she was also inducted into Chicago's LGBT Hall of Fame in 2003 and recognized as an extraordinary civil rights leader in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Jan Schakowsky in late 2018.
See www.congress.gov/congressional-record/2018/02/27/extensions-of-remarks-section/article/E227-1 for Schakowsky's remarks.

perhaps one of the most interesting retail establishments in seattle. until recently, archie mcphee & company was located in seattle's fremont district. the former location was a virtual palace of silliness, and bagels and coffee were available to customers. they have since moved, and i have a distressing lack of information about their new digs.
archie mcphee specializes in strange toys and other objects. as their website (www.archiemcphee.com) puts it:

Though it sounds a bit like a fake name, there apparently really was an Archie McPhee. According to the Archie McPhee website (http://www.archiemcphee.com/info/history.html), he was the great-uncle-in-law of the current owner of the company. In 1924, he traveled to China and Japan with a jazz band he formed called the North Star Music Makers. Since he was only the band's manager, passage for him was not booked aboard the S.S. President Madison, but one of the ship's firemen never showed up for the trip, so Archie took his job shoveling coal into the ship's furnaces. He managed the band from the hold of the ship.
After playing gigs at hotels and cafes in Shanghai, Kobe, Yokohama, and Manila, the band was offered a six-month contract playing at the Army and Navy Club in the Philippines. After that, they went home.
The website never explains why this particular escapade made him worthy of having a pop-kitsch toy store named after him.
Addendum: Demeter informs me that Archie McPhee was the name of the campy chef in the kitschy British soap opera "Crossroads". This may be the true origin of the store's name...

Iran to surpass uranium stockpile limits within days: AEOI
Iran stopped complying with some elements of the nuclear deal in May, and is speeding up production of enriched uranium.
in World News
(AL JAZEERA)Iran has said the country plans to quadruple production of low-level enriched uranium and will reach the limit of the stockpile allowed under the nuclear deal within days.
The spokesperson for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), Behrouz Kamalvandi, said on Monday Iran would reach the allowed 300kg level of enriched uranium at levels mandated by the 2015 deal on June 27.
"We will go further from that ceiling, not only that but we will also increase production drastically. After we pass the limit of 300kg the pace and the speed of enriched uranium production at the lower rate will also increase," Kamalvandi said on Monday, speaking on television from Iran's Arak nuclear plant.
Tehran stopped complying with some elements of the nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in May, a year after the United Statesunilaterally withdrew from the deal. Under it, Iran had agreed to limit its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on May 8 the remaining signatories – the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China and Russia – had 60 days to implement their promises to protect Iran's oil and banking sectors from reimposed US sanctions.
Commenting on Monday's announcement, Ali Fathollah Nejad from the Brookings Doha Center said "The aim is to increase the bargaining leverage and to put increasing pressure on Europe".
"This is more symbolic than substantial because Iran is not going to commit any violation. They're going to go as far as possible to the threshold but won't break it because they'll lose European support. And for now, this is not the Iranian strategy."
'There is still time'
Kamalvandi said they were still waiting for officials to tell them what the second phase of the strategy for reducing commitments to the JCPOA would be but said the deal could still be salvaged.
"There is still time … if European countries act," he said.
Al Jazeera's Dorsa Jabbari, reporting from Tehran, said the atomic energy spokesman noted Iran had heard "good words" from Europe but had not seen any action.
"He's very clear that if the Europeans don't hold up their end of the deal within the coming weeks, the Iranians are in the position to increase their percentage. That is something that it will be up to the leaders of Iran to decide."
Rouhani had said in May that Iran could resume high-level uranium enrichment if world powers did not uphold their part of the nuclear deal.
Tehran would increase uranium enrichment levels "based on the country's needs," Kamalvandi also said.
He said there were two scenarios. One would be to increase the enrichment up to five percent for the use in the Bushehr power plant, or to increase it up to 20 percent for a research reactor in Tehran.
Both levels would be above the 3.67 percent enrichment allowed under the nuclear deal, and put the country closer to being able to produce weapons-grade material.
The chairman of the Iranian Parliament's Nuclear Committee, Mojtaba Zonnour, said Iran would consider leaving the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) altogether if Europe's JCPOA signatories fail to do their share of saving the agreement before the 60-day deadline, the Mehr news agency reported on Monday.
Iran says its decision to reduce commitments under the nuclear deal is within its rights under the 2015 agreement.
Gulf tensions
Monday's announcement comes amid rising tensions in the Gulf after a series of unexplained attacks on oil vessels and infrastructure in the region, which the US has blamed on Iran or its proxies.
Two tankers in the Gulf of Hormuz last Thursday reported explosions on board that sparked fires with the crews abandoning the vessels. The US accused Iran of planting mines on the ships.
Tehran has vehemently denied the allegations and on Sunday Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran's parliament, suggested the US may have staged the tanker attacks because of "the failure of its harsh sanctions" on Tehran, according to the official IRNA news agency.
The US military last week released a grainy video it said showed an Iranian boat removing an unexploded mine as part of its proof of Tehran's involvement.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said there was other evidence beyond the video to show it was "unmistakable" that Iran was responsible for the suspected attacks.
In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Pompeo said Washington did not seek war with Tehran.
Saudi Arabia and Britain have backed the US claims.
European Union foreign ministers, meeting on Monday said they are still looking for more information on who might be behind the attacks, and called for restraint.
The escalating tensions have caused a spike in oil prices and concerns of a widening conflict.

Details of Procedure
View Full Size||Download Slide (.ppt)
Figure 2A
Figure 2B
The most common indication is for the administration of chemotherapy or long-term parenteral nutritional support. For these purposes, a port is usually used. For short-term therapies, alternatives include a tunneled central venous catheter or a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC).
The procedure is usually performed as an outpatient. Electrolytes and clotting studies should be checked prior to the procedure. If the patient has had previous central catheters, a careful history should be obtained, as this will help with site selection. Transcutaneous ultrasound can assist with vein localization. A single dose of preoperative antibiotics provides for prophylaxis.
Moderate sedation and local anesthesia is preferred.
The patient is placed in the supine position. Fluoroscopy should be available. The arms are tucked at each side.
The hair is removed with clippers. The chosen side of the neck/upper thorax are prepped and draped using the maximum sterile barrier technique.
Internal Jugular Vein Access
The internal jugular vein may be safer than subclavian venous access. The internal jugular vein is located posterior to the sternocleidomastoid mastoid muscle (Figure 1). It is usually accessed by a percutaneous route. The plate demonstrates a right internal jugular cannulation.
Preliminary ultrasound of the right side of the neck is done in order to document the patency of the internal jugular vein. With real-time ultrasound guidance and employing a modified Seldinger technique, a small incision is made in the skin of the neck with a 15 blade and the internal jugular vein is cannulated with a small diameter needle (Figure 2A). After removing the syringe, the surgeon places a flexible guidewire (Figure 2B). The needle is removed, and over this wire, a 5-French dilator is placed to create a track (Figure 3). A 3- to 4-cm transverse incision is made on the upper right thorax two fingerbreadths below the clavicle and a hemostat is passed to create a tunnel between the two incisions (Figure 4). Blunt dissection is done to create a subcutaneous pocket on top of the pectoralis muscle fascia for the reservoir (Figure 4). The Silastic catheter is advanced through the subcutaneous tissues from the upper thoracic subcutaneous pocket to the neck incision (Figure 4). The 5-French dilator is exchanged over a wire for an introducer with a peel-away sheath (Figure 5). The dilator and wire are removed from the introducer. The Silastic catheter is advanced through the peel-away sheath (Figure 6) and is positioned under fluoroscopy with its tip in the right atrium (Figure 7). Keeping the catheter in place with a forceps (Figure 6), the sheath is "peeled away" by pulling it apart laterally until it is completely split and out. The catheter is cut to length at the pocket and the slide-on boot is placed over the catheter. The catheter is pushed onto the chamber hubs (Figure 8A), and the boot is slid down over the catheter in order to secure its attachment to the hub (Figure 8B). Immediately following placement, each of the ports is aspirated and flushed to verify patency. If any resistance is encountered, then obstruction of the catheter in the vein insertion site, the tunnel, or at the junction of the catheter with the reservoir should be suspected. These sites should be inspected. The position of the catheter with its tip in the right atrium should be verified by fluoroscopy. The reservoir is then secured with nonabsorbable monofilament suture to the pectoralis fascia. The subcutaneous tissues of the reservoir pocket are closed using interrupted 3-0 absorbable suture. The port must be easily palpable, and in very obese patients, the subcutaneous fat may need to thinned directly above the port. The skin edges are approximated using a continuous subcuticular 4-0 absorbable suture. The neck incision is closed using a single subcuticular 4-0 absorbable suture and the port is checked for flow in both infusion and aspiration after which it is loaded with a dilute heparin solution. The final configuration is shown in Figure 9 and all personnel who access the port must remember to use the special needles that do not cut or core out a segment of the Silastic access dome as they are inserted into the port.
The central venous system may be accessed via the subclavian vein as shown in Plate 152. In this operation the subclavian skin entrance site is opened a few millimeters and a tunnel is created with a small hemostat to the port site pocket. The subcutaneous fat at the entrance may require some spreading so as to allow the Silastic catheter to round this corner without an obstructing angulation. The remainder of the procedure is the same except for the need to close this skin incision with a few absorbable subcuticular sutures followed by adhesive skin strips. The port is then aspirated, checked for free flow in both directions, and finally loaded with a dilute heparin solution.

Unearthing The New Band Underground
May 15, 2017 at 4:55 PM by xFiruath.
Man, this just always manages to happen. We get a couple of Unearthing The Metalunderground columns up and running and then somehow its been months again since the last one. That phenomena struck again as I look back and see it's been four months since the previous entry!
Back at the end of January we covered three bands with totally unexpected sounds, and now its time to get back into the swing of things with three groups still in their infancy, only having been around for a few years or even just getting started in 2017. These bands may be on the newish side, but they've all got a fabulous polished sound that belies that youth.
Below we cover three lesser known groups with a fairly broad range of sounds that are all worth your attention: young Norwegian project Korrupt, Russian outfit Dark Matter Secret, and finally Ursinne, a death metal supergroup that isn't going to be underground for long! More...

Unearthing The Completely Unexpected Underground
Jan 30, 2017 at 6:47 PM by xFiruath.
The ascendancy of Nergal's new dark blues / country project Me And That Man got me thinking about all the utterly unexpected sounds that have come through my speakers in the years I've been writing here.
For every thrash rehash, modern metal copy and paste job, or a slew of utterly identical melodic post-hardcore emo bands, there's always some outfit hanging out just below the surface that no one has ever heard of - but is putting out awe-inspiring sounds.
Today we're going to focus on those groups that go way off the beaten path, offering a very different take on various sub-genres than what you'll hear from the average metal band. You aren't going to read about them on Rolling Stone, but these are the innovators pushing boundaries that deserve to thrive in the metal underground.
This one-man project creates something that is so incredibly obvious in hindsight but has barely been scratched by the scene as a whole: a collision of old African American spirituals with extreme metal. Reading that description for the first time, it seems like those two forces wouldn't be compatible, but just think about the connotations for a second.
Why did black metal arise in the Scandinavian scene in the first place, and why are the early days of the style so closely associated with church burnings? American slaves persecuted by Christianity have more in common with the pagans of European lore than you might think.
Imagine if those same slaves had access to guitars and decided to take their music in a more extreme direction. I'll let the project's Bandcamp description explain the rest:
Imagine this: Django sacrifices a goat on stage while intimidating slave chants roar and screeching guitar riffs burn in the background. Then the rhythmic chain rattling evoking a satanic summoning makes way for the eerily familiar melodies of Norwegian black metal.
Intrigued? While the album as a whole does have some down points and a lack of focus (a full review is coming), the tracks that stick to this collision of ideas are top-notch. Zeal & Ardor's "Devil Is Fine" is due to officially drop February 24th, 2017.

Unearthing The Underground: Kicking Off 2017
Jan 2, 2017 at 3:26 PM by xFiruath.
It's a whole new year metal fans, and as the first Monday in a wide open 2017 standing before us full of metallic possibilities, we've officially arrived at the year's inaugural edition of Unearthing The Metal Underground!
In week's past we've covered modern prog rock groups and much more extreme metal bands alike. Today we're going to cover three completely different sub-genres in our underground picks, from post-rock to black metal to melodic death.
A Province Of Thay
This unlikely group hailing from Seattle caught my attention strongly when we had the opportunity to premiere the "Atonement" EP in October of 2016.
The opening title track immediately grabbed me and had me spinning the release multiple times to experience more of this shoegazy post-rock just absolutely dripping with atmosphere and emotion but still very much on the metal side (check out our full review here).
I sort of love the genre description A Province Of Thay uses on Facebook: "gloomy doom, post rock, post metal, prog, nerds." That pretty well sums it up. Take a listen to "Atonement" below.

Unearthing The Extreme Metal Underground
Nov 7, 2016 at 4:30 PM by xFiruath.
Holy crap, more than one Unearthing column is arriving in a single year? It's not an early Christmas present, we're just back on the indie train bringing you the best of the best from the metal underground. Shifting gears heavily from the last look at progressive bands in October, today we're going to cover some of the most extreme groups around in the death and black metal realms.
Dyscarnate
After releasing a demo and an EP back in the group's early years, the extremely bludgeoning U.K. group Dyscarnate first came to our attention in 2009 by signing to Siege Of Amida Records. That partnership would see the release of the bulk of Dyscarnate's existing catalog: "Enduring The Massacre" in 2010 followed by "And So It Came To Pass" in 2012.
Sadly, the band was dormant on the release front for several years afterword, eventually parting ways with vocalist Henry Yates and recruiting new member Al Llewellyn in late 2015. The fruits of that collaboration are finally on the horizon as Dyscarnate is now appropriately signed on Unique Leader – a label specifically known for devastating technical death metal.
A third full-length album is coming in 2017 and we can't wait to hear it, but for now you can check out previous album "And So It Came To Pass" here:
Unearthing The Prog Rock Underground
Oct 17, 2016 at 6:14 PM by xFiruath.
It's been awhile since we cut through all the noise and decided to highlight three unknown bands specifically worth your while in a crowded music scene, and this week we're getting back into the swing of things with a new edition of Unearthing The Metal Underground!
We're returning with another look at progressive bands that meld opposing sub-genres, utilize very old school sounds in new and unique ways, or utterly dominate on the instrumental front. Without further ado, we now introduce you to three prog metal bands you need to hear hailing from locations as diverse as Spain, Chile, and New York City.
Bauda
A Chilean band that has flown under the radar for far too long, Bauda's latest album "Sporelights" (reviewed here) came to my attention last summer from an unsolicited review request email, which is always a dicey proposition: you might get something awesome, or you might hear some basement recordings that never should have hit the digital airwaves.
Needless to say, "Sporelights" was an unexpected treat. I had no idea what to expect going in, being totally unfamiliar with the band, and I was blown away by the juxtaposition of sounds, flirting with the line between rock and metal.
There's some dark material that plays with shoegaze (but offers a lot wider breadth of sound than you'd usually hear there), along with incredibly emotional offerings that will be right on track for fans of Anathema, all while offering a very distinct sound that is uniquely Bauda.
The entire "Sporelights" album can be heard in the Bandcamp player, and you can follow the latest on Bauda by heading over to Facebook.

Unearthing The Fledgling Metal Underground
Sep 28, 2015 at 3:21 PM by xFiruath.
We have somehow reached a staggering 21,000 bands being covered at Metalunderground.com, so with so much noise polluting the airwaves, how's a metal head to know what's worth listening to and what isn't?
We're aiming to help you out with that decision by unearthing three underground groups you should be paying attention to if you dig your metal on the extreme side. This week we dig up three groups that are still new and just getting their footing – with two of them only releasing their debut full-lengths in the coming weeks.
This Denmark-based outfit is just making an appearance in the metal scene, gearing up to release a first studio album next month, consisting of 11 tracks of lo-fi Miskatonic metal that alternately blasts sanity with discordant melody or lays waste to everything with pummeling riffs not afraid to either move at a crawl or take off at light speed.
With titles like "R'lyeh" and "Akrham," obviously we're dealing with some serious Lovecraft worship here. Dive into the bleak depths with an advance album stream below, or you can pre-order a physical copy through Lavadome Productions.

Unearthing The DeLand Rock & Metal Underground
Jan 5, 2015 at 5:16 PM by CROMCarl.
Each week in Unearthing the Metal Underground, we'll be putting a few quality underground bands in the spotlight in an attempt to get the word out about them. This week we take a look at some of the bands that took part in the recent DeLand Rock & Metal Festival from November 2014. Our report for the festival can be read at this location.
The DeLand Rock & Metal Festival – or "DRMF" as it is affectionately known by the festival's community – is one of the most diverse metal festivals in the United States. This past year there were days dedicated to death metal (or any style with a death style vocal, including old school death, deathcore, hardcore, melodic death and folk) and another day themed by power metal (or any power, traditional, hard rock act), the second of which is headlined by festival promoter Camden Cruz's own…Seven Kingdoms. Immersed in an infectious sense of community and a plethora of local Florida acts (including the now defunct Massacre), there were also some out of town acts that really brought the "thunder" to the entire event.
Of three of those out of town acts, two of them had never once played a live show together. In fact, those two acts, Judicator and Project: Roenwolfe (both anchored by guitarist/songwriter Tucson, Arizona's Tony Cordisco), had never met as a band ever until 45 minutes before they hit the stage back to back on the Friday night kick off show.

Whenever I meet people from outside Austria and we get to talk about Austrian metal bands it is a safe bet that people will come up with death metal veterans like Pungent Stench and Miasma - who both sadly enough are no longer active in their original line ups. Last not least of course the Austrian blackened death metal juggernaut Belphegor will always get a mention.
Today it's time to take a closer look at that country's secret Austrian metal underground capital, the city of Graz, for a threesome of Austria's best you probably never heard of but are sure worth listening to. Read on to discover three bands that all go in different directions while remaining inside the realm of melodic death and thrash metal: the modern melodic death metal outfit Disfigured Divinity, progressive melodic metal group Rest In Fear, and melodic death thrash band veterans Darkfall.
Disfigured Divinity
The melodic death metallers are offering songs rich in variety and composed of a well-made mix of catchy choruses and violent galopping mosh parts.
The band dropped their debut album "Zapotectron" in 2013, which can be bought at BigCartel, iTunes and Amazon-Mp3. Two clips for their songs "Mandatory Heirs" and "Insignificance In Space And Time" can be streamed below.
Dec 22, 2014 at 5:05 PM by xFiruath.
With just under 20,000 bands in our database (and more being added every day) there are more metal bands on the planet than anyone ever would have imagined back when the scene was first getting started.
Unfortunately some of those bands end up falling through the cracks, and groups that deserve recognition get lost in the endless sea of heavy sounds. That's why we take the time to unearth stellar unknown bands and point out the ones you should be training your ears towards.
Today we look at three outfits separated by country and genre boundaries, but which are all lesser known metal groups you should be paying attention closer attention to: Fractured Spine, Hieroglyph, and My Last Suicide.
Fractured Spine
When it comes to the sub-genre of gloomy death/doom bands, you'd probably think first of groups like Swallow The Sun, October Tide, or Daylight Dies.
The unknown version of those genre stalwarts is Fractured Spine, a Finnish outfit that deserves to be among the aforementioned pantheon. With gothic and gloomy clean singing, dark death metal with symphonic leanings, and dreary doom, the band hits all the requisite sounds and does it without sounding like a carbon copy of the bigger names.
In addition to some early demos, the band has two full-length albums available, 2013's "Songs Of Slumber" (available for streaming in full below) and "Memoirs Of A Shattered Mind" released earlier this year. You can pick up Fractured Spine's albums over at Bandcamp here.

Unearthing An Eclectic Slice Of The Underground
Although we'll cover the big names like Metallica and Motorhead, our goal at Metalunderground.com is to always to bring the lesser known local bands that deserve your attention out of obscurity and into the collective metal consciousness.
To that end we periodically unearth bands you may not have had the chance to hear before that all offer up quality material. Today we'll cover a huge range of sound and even a massive number of miles between countries with three bands from different corners of Europe who all lean towards drastically different corners of the genre spectrum.
Postvorta
Experimental, ambient, introspective... Postvorta soothingly beckons you through smooth and seemingly stable sonic corridors, then unexpectedly blows up the ceiling and drops tons of bludgeoning metal on your head.
The Italian sound smiths have dubbed their music "post metal." I call it "something you need to listen to immediately if you dig Neurosis or Isis."
The full "Beckoning Light We Will Set Ourselves On Fire" album was self-released earlier this year and just last month saw a physical edition through Bleeding Light Records. The whole album can be heard through the player below, and you can pick up a digital or physical copy at this location.

Unearthing The Croatian Metal Underground: Part 2
Mar 31, 2014 at 6:04 PM by xFiruath.
Back in 2011 during our unending quest to unearth the best the underground has to offer, we previously looked at a series of bands from metal scene in Croatia.
Fast forward three years and today it's time to return to that country again for another threesome of Croatia's best. Read on to discover a new trio projects that all go in drastically different directions while remaining inside the realm of metal: the post-black metal Hesperian Death Horse, modern metal outfit Kryn, and instrumental group Asheraah.
Hesperian Death Horse
Swinging back and forth between atmospheric, understated post-metal and full-on black metal insanity, Hesperian Death Horse is a band of extremes that doesn't care to sit still and stay firmly within one genre.
If you can dig both hoarse, abrasive black metal and the more melodic and ambient side of the genre all in the same sitting, enjoy the full "Mrtav" album below, as well as the band's latest mind fuck of a track "Tesla," taken off a new split release with Hazarder.
Unearthing More Of The Black Metal Underground
The metal phenomenon has exploded across the world in recent years, and with the advent of services like YouTube and Bandcamp there's far more music out there than any metal fan could ever hope to hear. That's why each Monday we take a look at three lesser known bands in the metalverse that you should be paying attention to.
We've covered underground black metal extensively in the past, digging up bands that specifically go for a heavily symphonic sound, black metal groups that experiment with non-traditional ideas, and even the highly misanthropic acts.
There's still quite a few underground black metal outfits that deserve a wider audience though, and today we'll cover three that each put a slightly different spin on the style.
Taking a classic kvlt black metal sound, French band Aurvandil drags it out with 9 – 20 minute tracks that lull you in and perform their hypnotic black magic. Aurvandil focuses on a one-two combo, using acoustic and atmospheric segments that explode into fast paced black metal.
While the long song lengths and repetition won't work for everyone, these massive tracks are a journey worth taking if you want black metal to be lo-fi and exude a feeling of years gone past. Following the 2011 album "Yearning," Aurvandil's latest slab of aural drudgery "Thrones" will see a digital release at the end of April.

Unearthing The Metal Underground In Nepal
Feb 3, 2014 at 5:43 PM by OverkillExposure.
Known mainly in the West as home to the arresting Himalayan heights and neighbor to every misguided hippie's favorite destination of Tibet, Nepal is a unique little country that, like many Asian enclaves, bears a richly extensive history that belies its pin-on-the-map size.
Viewed in a metal context, Nepal's growing foothold in the headbanging underground proves an even greater curiosity – though thanks to the Sam Dunns of the world and our great global network of online journalism, that curiosity is transforming from a novelty to the norm before our eyes. Cultural and language barriers can only hold back the equalizing brotherhood of metal for so long.
The twenty-first century has thus far seen a rapid expansion in the local metal scene of Kathmandu, Nepal's capital and largest city. It's primarily an extreme affair. Inspired by trailblazing death metal acts such as UgraKarma and championed on regional web communities KTMRocks and Nepal Underground, the bands here tend to embrace aggression and brutality with a fresh enthusiasm that conjures a strange, sweet, almost innocent nostalgia.
According to Davin Shakya, audio engineer and founder of symphonic black/death metal act Kalodin, the reasons are as much technological as cultural. "The production here is not up to par compared to the international bands we listen to," he explains. "Mainly because there aren't many musical production courses. Engineers here have to study everything on their own and find their way out by trial and error. It's improving, though."
Such a grassroots-by-necessity approach calls to mind the trials by which Western engineers learned to produce thrash and death metal throughout the '80s. Innovative leaps in musicianship were forced to wait for the technology to catch up. This period of exploration was the perfect breeding ground for exciting, energetic, envelope-pushing music, and more than two decades later, Kathmandu is experiencing its own evolution and refinement of extreme metal.
It's also placing its own unique stamp on the genre. Playing the heaviest and darkest of metal offers a special opportunity to entwine it with regional culture, whether through sound or attitude, and enrich the ever-expanding genre web. Take a look at some of Kathmandu's highlights and rising stars since the dawn of the millennium. More...
Unearthing The Metal Underground In Bangladesh
Jan 27, 2014 at 1:50 PM by Rex_84.
With a population of 160 million people, Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. The country's attitude of cultural tolerance (Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Buddhists live side-by-side) is reflected in their tastes in metal (well, at least in this article).
This Unearthing segment includes three bands of disparate styles from the city of Dhaka. The wide scope of sounds documented in the following video includes death metal, black metal, atmospheric, neo-classical, thrash, and progressive, many derived from a sole band!
Artcell
Mostly unknown in the West, Artcell is one of the most celebrated rock acts of Bangladesh. They play arenas, appear on TV shows and have over 479,000 likes on their Facebook page. In addition to the Sabbath-thy heaviness of debut "Onnoshomoy," Artcell has an affinity for melody and acoustic guitar. I'm not sure what the band sings about because all lyrics are sung in Bengali, but his voice is harmonious and passionate. Whatever he's saying, their crowds respond well. As with most prog bands, Artcell has an outstanding bass sound, very warm.
Unearthing The Metal Underground in Bulgaria
Dec 16, 2013 at 2:54 PM by Rex_84.
Eastern Europe is a hotbed for extreme metal. Behemoth and Vader opened venues and studio doors to growls and screams, and invited a whole new generation of cult bands into their realm of the world. Today, we are going to focus on three of those bands. MU has reported on one of these bands in the past, Enthrallment, but we will be introducing two more--Dimholt and Dark Incognito.
Enthrallment
Bulgaria did not always allow extreme metal within its borders. Since the mid-40s, Bulgaria was under Soviet rule. As soon as the Eastern Bloc collapsed, heavy bands began to form. Murder Sound studio owner and Enthrallment drummer, Ivo Ivanov states that many bands began to form in the period of 1989-1993 in his hometown of Pleven. Artists such as Mortal Remains, Corpse and Necrophilia ushered in the first wave of extreme metal. Ivanov's band, Enthrallment emerged during the the period of 1993-1998, an era he dubs the "zenith of the death metal industry."
Starting with their 1999 demo "The Scarlet Difference" and ending with their latest full-length "People From The Lands of Vit," Enthrallment has created death metal appeasing to their European neighbors and long-distance listeners in America. The group has played Serbia's Hellhammer Festival and Obscene Extreme Fest. They toured with Malevolent Creation, Rotting Christ and Rotten Sound in 2011, and supported major acts such as Destruction, Obituary, Deicide and Napalm Death.
In a couple of weeks, at the beginning of 2014, Enthrallment will release its newest incarnation of audio filth, "The Voice of Human Perversity." Ivanov recorded and mixed the album in his Murder Sound Studio, while the group sent the recording to Safehouse Production in Florida to be mastered by James Murphy. Check out a preview of the album below, as well as the video for "Fruits of Pain and Blue Sky."
Unearthing The Metal Underground in Chile Pt. 2
Oct 28, 2013 at 10:48 AM by sonictherapy.
In this week's edition of Unearthing the Metal Underground, we'll revisit the country of Chile again - a land with a scene that is so vast and devout that one could do a column on it every week. I respect the Chileans since they are fervent supporters of their metal scene with how they pack their clubs and buy music. In fact, looking at the Chilean scene is observing one with both plenty of new talent and veteran acts just now getting their due.
The Chilean scene dates back to the eighties, much like ours. In gaining an overview of it all, it is best to see it through the eyes of a Chilean old schooler. One of the most visible scene veterans, Digmetalworld honcho Ignacio Orellana, has seen a great deal of it since he picked up his first pair of drumsticks at the age of 14. The Santiago native thus began his journey into being a metal drummer and all-around metal music fanatic. More...
Unearthing The Costa Rican Metal Underground Pt. 2
Sep 30, 2013 at 10:13 AM by sonictherapy.
Let's once again take a look at my former residence of Costa Rica as we bring you a scene report from this Central American country. In the past forty years, travelers from all over have been making it a vacation hotbed. Celebrities own homes there, drawn in by the fabulous ocean, weather, mountains and night life. Many metal bands also make Central and South America prerequisite stops on their tours now. Even bands with little or no label support are financing small club gigs and have made Costa Rica one of their stops. More...
Unearthing The Latvian Metal Underground
Sep 2, 2013 at 4:23 PM by xFiruath.
As we've shown throughout the years in our never ending quest to the Unearth the Metal Underground, high quality metal bands can come from the most surprising of locations. Europe is known as a hotbed of extreme metal, both originating several styles and still innovating others, and even those tiny, out of the way countries have something appropriately metallic to offer.
Today we'll take a look at three unknown acts from the Latvian metal scene. Working largely without label support and independently releasing demos, EPs, and albums, which in an earlier era would have been hindrance, now these underground stalwarts have a chance to be heard by a much wider audience thanks to various social networking sites and music platforms like Bandcamp.
Featuring members of Ocularis Infernum, this absolute gem of the Latvian scene takes the black metal sound you think you know and takes it on a twisting journey. While it keeps up the menacing and horrifying vibe black metal is known for, it's all injected with a surprising amount of melodic hooks. The band's debut album "Hierophanies" is out now (reviewed here) and can be streamed in full via the player below.

Unearthing The Metal Underground In Puerto Rico
Aug 26, 2013 at 8:58 AM by sonictherapy.
Today on Metal Underground, we will head over to almost the southeasternmost zip code in the US - the island of Puerto Rico. Not exactly a nation, although many of its citizens would like it to be, Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States with its own constitution and a rhythm and vibe that rival that of any Central American country.
We have featured several Puerto Rican bands and groups that have ties to that island in our news such as Zafakon, who rose to prominence with their "Fall" EP back in 2010. The all female gothic/black metal trio Matriarch, now disbanded, combined the impossibly high soprano operatic pitch of guitarist Vanessa Urrutia and the evil lower end vocals of Shamara and Isabel. Too bad "Revered Unto the Ages" was their swan song. Countless bands are actively playing, releasing albums and making the news on a regular basis, though. More...
Unearthing The Melodic Metal Underground
Aug 5, 2013 at 7:15 PM by xFiruath.
Grind, slam, death, black: metal has its share of extreme bands that revel in pulverizing an audience with unrelenting brutality or smothering out all hope with ceaseless darkness. Today we'll move away from that side of metal however, to enjoy the more melodic sounds heavy bands have to offer.
Every week we unearth three bands you may not have heard of from the more underground corners of the scene, and this week's all about the melody! If you dig power, prog, classic metal, or any combination of the three, these are all bands that are well worth your time.
Cardiant
Kicking off our latest look at less extreme bands is Finland's Cardiant, which leans significantly more towards power metal, but with a dash of traditional and prog metal thrown in for good measure. The band has a lot going on across that spectrum, so don't be surprised if you hear a variety of piano and keyboard segments, along with some choruses of clean singing that even bring to mind Devin Townsend's "Epicloud."
While there are a scattered handful of darker moments, overall Cardiant is melodic and upbeat through and through. The band's latest album "Verge" is out now through Inverse Records, which follows the previous two full-lengths "Tomorrow's Daylight" and "Midday Moon." Get acquainted with the outfit through two tracks off "Verge" below.

For Easter, I and two Dominican friends-John Allard and Mike Fones-headed out to the Navajo Nation in the American Southwest. We helped out at mission parishes. They can always use the help, especially at Easter time. I always enjoy going out there and spending time with the Navajo.
This is a photo of Window Rock, a huge hole in an otherwise daunting sandstone wall. Enough said.
Chandra, as he finally catches sight of his father's house. The pace quickened, the conversation stopped, I could feel the anticipation.
A woman in a smoky kitchen, taking a break by the door.
She is one of three working here to make Rakshi this morning. Rakshi is the local alchoholic drink, made from distilled millet wine. In Nepali kitchens, cooking is done with a wood fire, and there is never a chimney. When something large is cooking, like a vat of rakshi, the room fills with smoke.
Two nights before we arrived in Kapilakot, Chandra's younger sister had her first child, a beautiful little girl who was still awaiting a name.
The birth highlighted the complexity of village life. Everyone came by to visit and pay respects. It is traditional to offer the family a piece of cloth or a little money when first seeing a new baby, and many people stopped by. The mother was giving birth at home, but had a difficult pregnancy. The nearest clinic is a four hour walk, so a group of men were recruited to carry her that distance (while she was in labor). Everything worked out well, and now mother and baby were back in the village.
We finally arrive at Kapilakot-Ratmata-Marin. I am the first foreigner to ever come here, and I suspect it will be a while before another comes. In our hike we passed scores of other villages, and could have stopped at any of them. My digital camera was quite the hit, especially when I turned the screen around so that people could see themselves getting their picture taken.
Every so often in the riverbed are little thatch huts housing water powered grinding wheels. They are communal property and well maintained.
Instead of a rolling wheel crushing the grain, a smaller, rough wheel spins horzontally over another similarly sized one. The top wheel has a hole in the center where grain is fed in from a hopper, and the ground meal comes out the side from between the two stones. This particular hut had two grinding wheels, one was grinding corn, the other rice. One family was grinding meal and enjoying the nice weather while the water did their work.
A family planting corn in their small plot of land.
Oxen pull the wooden ploughs to break up the dry soil. Fathers hold the ploughs down and guide the oxen with spoken commands and small taps with their sticks, "Left!" "Right!" "Stop!" "Go!" A mother and a son walk behind dropping seeds in the new furrows. Stretching behind them are other families' plots, fading to the horizon in the light morning fog, waiting for other days to plant.
In front of a small roadside cafe next to a military checkpoint somewhere in the Terai (the lowlands in the south of Nepal), the proprietor stands in front of her god-stone. Embedded in the dusty ground of the parking area where busses come and go all day, with hundreds of feet trampling by, this stone sits clean and red, a sign of God's still presence amidst the bustle, though a sign that is small and easily missed.
Spring has come to the Terai.

The alternative chromosome 17 probe reclassified 82 of 310 (26.5%) and 87 of 310 (28.1%) tumors using the 2007 and 2013 guidelines, respectively. Of the 41 of 310 tumors (13.2%) that were reclassified from nonamplified to amplified according to 2007 guidelines, 28 of 41 (68.3%) had an average HER2 copy number ?4.0 and <6.0. The 39 of 310 tumors (12.6%) that were reclassified from equivocal to amplified according to 2013 guidelines had a mean HER2 copy number between ?4.0 and <6.0. Most of these patients had stage I, hormone receptor-positive, lymph node-negative tumors, which is an unusual clinicopathologic profile for HER2-amplified tumors, and most received HER2-targeted therapy in addition to endocrine therapy.
The dual-probe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene amplification in breast cancer provides an HER2:CEP17 (centromere enumeration probe for chromosome 17) ratio. Copy number alteration (CNA) in CEP17 may skew this ratio. The authors analyzed the impact of the 2013 American Society of Oncology/College of American Pathologists (ASCO/CAP) guidelines and an alternative chromosome 17 probe on HER2 status in tumor specimens with CEP17 CNA.
Reflex testing with an alternative chromosome 17 probe using the 2013 ASCO/CAP guidelines reclassified 28.1% of tumor samples that had CEP17 CNA, converting nearly one-half from equivocal to amplified. The benefit of HER2-targeted therapy in this patient population requires further study.
Empire Genomic's HER2 FISH Probe was used in this publication.

Q: Android Eclipse Plugin Too Slow I'm currently on a Windows 7 box with 1.83GHz processor and 1 GB RAM. I used be able to use all applications with no speed issues. I recently installed Android Plugin in Eclipse Helios and now Eclipse has slowed down badly. Running projects/creating projects/saving code changes all takes 3-4 minutes to happen. When the emulator is launched, it takes a good 10 minutes to be able to use my app. What is causing Eclipse to slow down ?? Wasting a lot of time on this. Please help.
Thanks in advance !

A: Your system should be running on the edge of the limit when you have Eclipse and the Emulator running. If possible work on a device or check the CPU/RAM usage while working. You should be able to see where the bottleneck is.
If you have Windows XP somewhere, I strongly recommend to switch back to XP...

A: Usually when your using programming envionments such as eclipse it is very taxing on your computer. The emulator taking up to ten mins to run is not shocking. I also had the same problem but if you have an android device you can use it to test your programs (its almost instant compared to the emulator.)

Mainly celebrated in Orissa, the Chariot festival or Rath Yatra has garnered a lot of limelight and is being widely followed in all over India, especially among the Bengalis. The belief of Lord Jagannath setting out on vacation with his elder brother Balabhadra and younger sister Subhadra from his temple in Puri to their garden place around the countryside, has become a reason to observe the day with offerings, pujas, family gatherings, foods, and what not! Attracting millions of pilgrims from all over India to Puri, Orissa, you can see the similar kind of crowd standing with anticipation at every nook and corner of Bengal too. The busy streets witness the little ones pulling the cute chariots they have made, and this enough proves how this festival has united Bengal and Orissa .
Are you completely clueless about how to spend this auspicious day with some fun and boisterousness? Here are some ideas we have covered exclusively for you.
Foods, foods and more foods!
You can be highly simple with the celebrations by inviting people at your home and having a small get together , treating your taste buds with lip smacking dishes! How fun it is to help your mom at the kitchen to cook some of the traditional Bengali and Oriya dishes? Be it the Dahi Vada, or the Dhokar Daalna, pulao, and a lot more! But then , is any meal complete without serving deserts? Ditch the hassle of preparing them, rather buy it from somewhere. The fuss of the sweet shops, with long queues and waiting scenes? Forget all these, as the leading online stores now offer the best quality and traditional sweets, be it the gulab jamuns, malpuas, motichoor laddoo, kaju katli rasgoolla and many more? Get them delivered at your doorstep, fresh and mouth watering!
Every festival demands decking up the place you live in, and hence, go for a small home renovation for Rath Yatra too! Before guests come in, deck up the home with flowers, garlands and place bouquets in the corner or flower vases to brighten up the mood of the interior. You do not have to stand waiting at the queue of the flower shops, rather with just one or two clicks , you can get the flowers delivered at your doorstep in no time! Forget the hassle of going to the store, and concentrate on decorating your home!
In the busy humdrums of life, we often forget doing some of the duties as human beings , what about fulfilling one of them this Rath Yatra? You will be the happiest at the end of the day , if you can celebrated this festival with the ones who are devoid of the basic happiness which they deserve! Send off some flowers , chocolates , sweets and cakes to the old age homes and orphanages through the online shops, and go in person to spend some time with them too! The smiles you see on them will be the best part of your celebrations, we bet!
If you have closed ones staying far away, fret not as you can send them the desired gifts through the leading e-stores. Be it simple flowers, eateries, or something related to home and living or fashion, the online stores can help you to spread smiles across each and every border! Thus, this Rarth Yatra, do not indulge into the same routine, rather enjoy with colorful celebrations and happiness!

Meet the main characters that feature in the amazing world of FORESTIUM. Click on a name below to read their back-story and other characteristics.
For more detailed information about the world of FORESTIUM, see also the Timeline …
Character type Woodsman (in training - yet to complete the trials)
Home village Morelle
Weapon Slingshot
Best trait Sees the good in others
Biggest weakness Poor aim
Joshua was born in Morelle in Forestium's far west. He is the firstborn child to Merinder and Sojath. Joshua grew up an only child but survives a sister that died during childbirth. Joshua's sister was not named and he was never made aware of her brief existence.
Sojath was a Morelle warrior and went off to battle when Joshua was just three years old but did not return. Although he was very young at the time, Joshua still has fond memories of his father and seeks to learn more about what happened.
With no other male role model in his life, Joshua grew up with many questions and somewhat unsure of himself. Had there been an older brother, Joshua may have chosen to become a fixer but ended up settling on being a woodsman like his father - perhaps with the ultimate aim of one day becoming a warrior. Despite his chosen direction, Joshua has an aptitude for being a fixer and regularly debates with the other fixers of his village.
Until he neared the age of decision, Joshua never had any romantic interests. Most of his time in recent months has been spent sharpening his forest woodsman skills with his best friend, Andrew. The two young men have been preparing to take part in the ritual trials that will see them through adolescence and into their rightful place as Morelle woodsmen.
Best trait Climbing
Biggest weakness Quick to judge
Andrew was welcomed into the village of Morelle as an orphaned baby when he was just two years old. Both his parents were killed in an earlier skirmish during the tribal feuds that plagued the North and West back then.
Andrew spent much of his earlier years getting into mischief, but his cheeky smile and playful nature always seemed to keep him out of any serious trouble. The tenders of the village provided him with guidance and it was Joshua's mother's that introduced him to her son when the two boys were about eight years old. The pair of would-be woodsmen have been inseparable since, and have developed an extremely strong bond.
Despite his earlier troubles, Andrew developed into an extremely loyal and dependable friend to Joshua, and has looked out for him ever since. He has little time for girls and even less understanding of them. He is a proficient climber, and has developed some very good forest woodsman skills.
Character type Fixer
Home village Jemarrah
Weapon Any
Best trait Ingenuity
Biggest weakness Talks too much
Sarah is the only child of Serelle and Albert, now the Elder of Jemarrah. Although they have no other children of their own, Serelle and Albert took in an orphaned girl, Isabelle, when Sarah was very young and raised the adopted family member as their own. Sarah and Isabelle consider each other sisters and are very close. Sarah's mother was killed during a raid on Jemarrah when she was just a toddler. She has very little recollection of her mother and has grown up under the fierce protection of her father ever since.
Sarah is a natural born fixer with a real talent for just about everything she turns her hands to. She is extremely intelligent and adept at solving practical problems. She can also cook just about anything she finds and often experiments with new recipes. Very well versed in the ways of the forest, she can readily live from whatever natural resources are available at the time. Although a proficient hunter, she has yet to capture a wild wood-boar, despite attempting to do so for some time.
Sarah has a soft spot for all the creatures of Forestium - flaps in particular. She has little knowledge or understanding of the dark forces of the underworld. Her happy-go-lucky outlook on life often sees her rambling on about anything and nothing.
Character type Imp
Home village Southern Tip
Weapon Slicing wit
Best trait Loyalty
Biggest weakness Liquorice moss
Originally from the Southern Tip, Galleon has been travelling around Forestium since the Goat banished all the imps to another realm about 10 years ago. Having only managed to narrowly escape the Goat's onslaught himself, Galleon has since spent most of his time on the road hoping to find others of his kind.
Since most Forestium inhabitants, especially the younger ones, have never seen or heard of imps before, Galleon has found himself unwelcome and mistrusted at many of the places he's visited.
Prior to the banishing of the imps, Galleon served as first mate aboard the trading ship The Southern Seas. He spent several years working the trade routes into and out of the Southern Tip and would probably have made captain if he continued with that career. He chose instead to find his feet on dry land but meandered from job to job for a couple of years doing ad-hoc work here and there.
Character type Magical being
Age Uncertain
Home village Somewhere in the depths of the underworld
Weapon Magic
Best trait Mental discipline
Biggest weakness Anger
A mystical and reclusive magical being, the Goat is the embodiment of evil and malevolence. His origins are unclear. Half-man and half-goat, he spends much of his effort jealously guarding against anyone discovering the hidden power behind various magical artefacts hidden throughout the worlds connected by the Portallas. The Goat fears the loss of power that might come about should others learn the secrets he possesses. More than this, he fears what will happen should the Portallas be opened between realms and people are able to move freely between them.
Although he keeps himself to his own realm, he does have the power to communicate with people in Forestium through some of the magical artefacts that exist there. He is able to communicate telepathically through the Orb of Vision, for example. Through intense discipline of mind, he can force anyone that has an orb experience to see and hear things he wishes. He is a skilful manipulator and uses this skill to great effect. The Goat can also reach through the Mirror of Prophecy to extend physically into Forestium.
The Goat commands an army of dark creatures of the underworld. In Forestium, for example, he can summon blood-bats as need be, who act as his ears and eyes in that realm. Blood-bats are loathsome and blood-thirsty creatures that will attack and maul savagely and relentlessly. The Goat commands other creatures of the underworld in other realms too.
Character type Tender
Weapon Knife
Biggest weakness Hunting skills
Adopted as an orphan from a young age, Isabelle was taken in by the Jemarrah elder after her parents and two older brothers were killed during a tribal feud. The Jemarrah elder took part in that skirmish and was at least partly responsible for the deaths. Feeling deeply remorseful about his actions that day, he wanted to do right by the child and took her as his own to be raised and loved as his own daughter.
Isabelle and Sarah were inseparable growing up and often found themselves getting into mischief together. After his wife's death, their father, an otherwise stern and very masculine figure, often found it awkward bringing up two young women and the two girls often relied on their own motherly instincts. With Isabelle being the elder of the two girls, she filled something of a motherly role towards her younger sister.
Isabelle never developed the same wanderlust that Sarah did and was content to fill the role of one of the village tenders. Like Sarah, she's a good cook. When she's not performing her village tender duties, she helps out with looking after the children at the village school.
Melachor
Character type Trader
Home village None - lives in an isolated hut
Weapon Bow and arrow
Best trait Family loyalty
Biggest weakness Too trusting
Formerly a successful trader, Melachor now lives a reclusive life tucked away in a secluded hut deep within the forest somewhere in Northern Forestium. Once a devoted and loving family man, Melachor's life took a turn for the worse when he found himself in the Southern Tip when the imps were being banished by the Goat. The family had travelled there in hopes of finding a metamorph, an elusive and near mythical being believed to have the power to heal. It was the day the Goat banished the imps and Melachor barely escaped with his life that day but believed he had lost his wife and children in the onslaught. Overcome with grief, he soon locked himself away and was not heard of for many years.
Melachor had escaped the clutches of the Goat by using the Orb of Vision he acquired not long previously, although he never knew what it was called nor what the orb's significance was. A few years ago, Melachor learned of the Mirror of Prophecy and was told it could be used to see into the future. Believing this would be the key to finding out what happened to his family, he spent the next few years trying to track down the mirror.
When Melachor finally learned that Joshua had acquired the magical mirror, he caught up with him and offered to trade it with the Orb of Vision still in his possession. Having convinced Joshua to part with the mirror, Melachor returned with it to his secluded hut and waited several days for fear of having been seen and/or followed. When he finally peered into the mirror, the hopeful man got much more than he bargained for.
Character type Innkeeper
Home village Fable & Florelle's Inn
Best trait Making wood-wine
Biggest weakness Pessimism
The son of a wealthy trader, Fable inherited his father's fortune when he was a teenager and used it to set up an inn in the south of Forestium. Having lived in his father's shadow for most of his life, Fable found himself to be quite successful at being an Innkeeper and thoroughly enjoyed the freedom to pursue his own happiness. The location he chose ensured a steady stream of regular visitors that kept the inn profitable. He met and fell in love with Florelle, a Tender from a nearby village, not long after the inn first opened and the two have been running the inn ever since.
Fable's fortunes went from strength to strength when he inadvertently stumbled upon a recipe for a rather delicious, if not somewhat intoxicating, brew for what he dubbed as the 'best wood-wine in all of Forestium'. This turned out to be a move of pure genius, as Traders would come from far and wide just to partake in the delicious beverage and would often end up staying the night at the inn because they were too drunk to move on.
Fable's positive outlook on life took a bit of a tumble when the Innkeeper came into possession of the Mirror of Prophecy, after a Trader with the mirror died whilst staying at the inn. Not knowing that the artefact possessed magical powers, Fable peered into it and believed he saw his own horrific death at some indeterminate future point. Seeing this took its toll on the Innkeeper and he rapidly became sullen and depressed. Nowadays, Fable is a grumpy and moody man who's not the most cheerful person to be around.
Character type Inn-keeper's wife
Home village Fabel & Florelle's Inn
Weapon Wooden spoon
Best trait Healing injured animals
Biggest weakness Fabel
Florelle grew up in a small village in the south and was content to enjoy life as a village tender when she met Fabel. He had just opened 'Fabel's Inn' not far from her village and she was swept off her feet by his enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit. The two quickly married and ran the inn together, which was renamed to 'Fabel & Florelle's Inn'.
Florelle's natural compassion and a tendency to mother people went down well with the inn's clientèle. This, together with Fabel's famous wood-wine, quickly saw the inn develop a very good reputation and the pair enjoyed life together for many years. Her love of forest creature also saw her taking in stray and injured animals and she quickly developed a reputation likewise.
The honeymoon lasted for quite a while before the pressures of maintaining the constantly busy inn started to take its toll on both of them. The romance faded after a while to the point that the two now barely speak to each other.
Oracle of Forestium
Character type Oracle
Home village Valley of Moross
Weapon Alliance with metamorphs
Best trait Can see into the future
Biggest weakness None
An enigmatic being, the Oracle of Forestium takes the form of a small blue flame that levitates . Hidden deep inside a secluded cave in the Valley of Moross, the Oracle's location is difficult to find unaided. If close enough, the Orb of Vision will pulsate and glow when near the entrance to the Oracle's cave and, if lucky, can be used as a beacon to find it.
For anyone fortunate enough to find the cave, it's not a foregone conclusion that an audience with the Oracle will be possible, as she will only reveal herself to those that she considers are pure of heart and worthy. With mystical powers and the apparent ability to see into the future, the Oracle may choose to grant the worthy that addresses her, information that they can use to fulfil their destiny - even though that information may not always be welcome.
When speaking, the Oracle emits a bright orange flame with sparks trailing wisps of smoke as each word is sounded. For the truly pure of heart, the Oracle may chose to reveal specific information directly and in a more personal manner. As the Oracle has chosen so very few people to reveal herself to, the exact nature of how this works is not clearly understood.
The Oracle has a close alliance with the metamorphs, a curious race of creatures with healing powers and the ability to become other things.

This little man is bolting for toddlerdom. He's got teeth popping out all over the place, a perma-drooly-grin, and a penchant for trying to stand on his own. Stairs are finally mastered both up and down (usually) and he loved his first taste of garlic recently when I caved and let him try the cauliflower soup I'd made for dinner (it was a pureed soup, no choking hazards, just a whole lot more flavor than he usually gets).
He is so defiantly happy. Sometimes he overwhelms me with his loveliness. It is hard to stay hurt or frustrated or forlorn when he looks at your unhappy face and giggles like mad. I ought to be loaning him out for this benefit.
I find that between Mr Renn and myself we have inexcusable penchants for taking ourselves too seriously. I thank God quite regularly for sending us the perfect children to remind us to have fun and be kinder to ourselves. There are thousands of opportunities to laugh and romp and squish little faces every day. I waste most of them, but I catch enough to remind my heart that I'm part of a great work in this little borrowed house of ours. Something so marvelous that my brain doesn't even try to comprehend it, and gets silly and forgets half the time. But I can sometimes be grateful if not wise.

How to deal with a remote teammate who's not doing their job?
I currently work as a virtual assistant (VA) for a company abroad. There are three of us on the VA Team, and we are all accountable for one set of deliverables per day. Another thing that might be important to note is that the three of us are long-time friends outside of work.
Our company is output-oriented and it doesn't matter to them who does what among the three of us, as long as the work gets done. So internally, the three of us assigned specific deliverables that each one of us will be accountable for. We all agreed.
We've noticed that X, one of our teammates, doesn't always work on their deliverables, leaving us two to pick up after their slack.
We've called X out on the group chat on this issue multiple times, didn't make a difference. We asked if they can still commit to the job, they said yes. One issue is that they are also a full time student, which is likely the number one thing that's getting in the way of her job. But then work is work, and they can't always expect us to do their job for them.
If you were in my situation, how would you deal with a remote teammate like this? Is it time to raise the issue to our manager? If so, how?

Another thing that might be important to note is that the three of us are long-time friends outside of work.
This is probably the most important part to take into account since this issue is likely to affect your friendship or even end it forever.
I wouldn't talk to your manager behind his back, you owe him at least a warning before it comes to that.
Option 1. If you think it'll be a passing thing just ignore it and wait for the problem to go away. This would be my recommendation if you know it's something like an exam period or something that is just making him busy. This involves putting the friendship on top and just covering for him when he needs it (as friends do).
Option 2. If it feels like something permanent.
Speak to your friend as a friend and tell him, as a friend, his lack of commitment is affecting you, your work and that it isn't fair to dump that work into you.
Make it clear that you won't stand that situation and that he, as a friend, shouldn't either, and that, if things do not change or he's not willing to change, you'll need to bring it up to your manager.
Depending on his answer, give him time to change.
If things do not change or he's not willing to, you'll need to make a judgement call. Either you go to option 1 and keep your friendship or you report him to your manager and seriously damage or even end that friendship.
I'd point out, however, that having a friend that takes advantage of you after making him know that's outside boundaries and giving you extra work is hardly a good friend anyway.

Tell them what you told us.
If possible, have it documented.

The public's invited to view landscaping plans for the new public golf course at 5800 NW Second Ave. in Boca Teeca.
Landscape architect Carol Perez unveiled drawings for Boca National Golf Club. They'll be posted on the Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District. Renderings will also be on view in the district office in Sugar Sand Park Community Center during business hours.
The district bought the former Ocean Breeze course and Price Fazio is designing a new course that will be open to the public.
How many trees can be saved, and buffering neighbors from train noise came up at the presentation Monday. Some 60 trees could be relocated and she plans to meet with city arborists, said Perez, a principal at AGTLand. Plans have to include heavier buffers along railroad tracks, commissioners said.
Frequent and longer freight trains are so noisy "you can't hear anything. I counted 140 cars the last time," said Harold Chaffee, president of Keep Golf in Boca.
Commissioners are waiting for public feedback to approve the landscaping.
And there's no construction money yet for the course. The district is waiting for a joint meeting with the city to ask for a construction loan and general golf course plan approval. A tentative date is May 13.

What I liked about the two narrative threads is how they captured the times. Although both storylines lagged in places, it was a fun mystery.
In December 1893, Sherlock Holmes-adoring Londoners eagerly opened their Strand magazines, anticipating the detective's next adventure, only to find the unthinkable: his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, had killed their hero off. London spiraled into mourning -- crowds sported black armbands in grief -- and railed against Conan Doyle as his assassin.
Then in 1901, just as abruptly as Conan Doyle had "murdered" Holmes in "The Final Problem," he resurrected him. Though the writer kept detailed diaries of his days and work, Conan Doyle never explained this sudden change of heart. After his death, one of his journals from the interim period was discovered to be missing, and in the decades since, has never been found.
Or has it?
When literary researcher Harold White is inducted into the preeminent Sherlock Holmes enthusiast society, The Baker Street Irregulars, he never imagines he's about to be thrust onto the hunt for the holy grail of Holmes-ophiles: the missing diary. But when the world's leading Doylean scholar is found murdered in his hotel room, it is Harold - using wisdom and methods gleaned from countless detective stories - who takes up the search, both for the diary and for the killer.


Traits indicative of more limited adult dispersal (e.g. small adult size and weak flying strength), along with traits indicative of strongly pulsed peaks in emergence (e.g. univoltinism and well-synchronised emergence) were all more abundant in the agricultural than forested streams in the autumn. However, these differences had disappeared by late spring, possibly reflecting early emergence by the univoltine taxa that dominated the agricultural stream communities and/or elevated mortality in the agricultural streams. Riffles supported higher abundances of insects with strongly flying adults, whereas traits associated with more limited dispersal were characteristic of insect assemblages in pools, which also supported the highest proportion of invertebrates completely lacking an adult flying stage. This result is likely to have implications at larger scales, given the dominance of soft-bottomed pool habitats and scarcity of riffles in many agricultural landscapes. Overall, our analysis indicates that while overall production of aquatic invertebrates with a winged adult was greater in agricultural streams, availability of this productivity for terrestrial consumers is more likely to be spatially restricted closer to the stream channel, and potentially also more temporally pulsed .
