In Alabama, barbecue is a culture all in itself. The state serves some of the nation's best, with iconic and award-winning restaurants just about everywhere you look. Take a tour of some of the North and Central Alabama Trail's best – from the fruits of lifelong professional pit masters to new kids on the barbecue block – and pick up a side of fun along the way.
Alabama Trail White Sauce
Over the past 85 years, Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q has grown from a makeshift table in Gibson's backyard to a regional barbecue staple – garnering attention from news outlets and cooking competitions all over the country.
In the 1920s, vinegar-and-mustard-based Carolina-style sauce was the predominant choice of barbecue cooks. Big Bob Gibson didn't think it complemented his chicken very well, so he came up with his own mayonnaise-based condiment, which also contains vinegar, apple juice, horseradish, lemon juice, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
Big Bob Gibson's sauces have become so popular that they are now available online and at more than 2,000 grocery stores in eight states. Locals use the white sauce as a marinade, for basting and as a table sauce.
Big Bob Gibson's split, seasoned chickens are laid open on the barbecue pit for several hours and then dipped in white sauce. The unique flavor of the sauce, combined with meat smoked in hickory-fired brick pits, helped the restaurant take off and established white barbecue sauce as a North Alabama regional specialty. Four generations of the Gibson family have continued the restaurant's tasty traditions.
It's all about the pork
In Florence, you'll find the W.C. Handy Home, Museum and Library where you can see musical instruments, personal papers and original sheet music belonging to the "Father of the Blues." The legendary songwriter is credited with taking the blues from the South into other parts of the country, educating people along the way and turning the genre into a cherished art form. Each July, the W.C. Handy Festival celebrates the Florence native's musical contributions and those of other blues musicians.
Bunyan's Bar-B-Q is located less than a half-mile from the W.C. Handy museum. A local favorite since 1972, Bunyan's is known for its pork and hot slaw. Grab a spot at one of the small tables inside or dine al fresco at one of several outdoor tables.
Tuscaloosa means ribs
Head down to Tuscaloosa and prepare to get your hands a little messy. Your first stop? Lunch at Archibald's in Northport.
Get to Archibald's early. Lines often form before the doors open, and spots fill up fast at the picnic tables outside.
George Archibald Jr. was 12 years old when he started working in the barbecue business his father started in 1962. Today, George and his sister, Paulette, keep this diamond in the rough going, serving the famous ribs and vinegar-based sauce that have garnered local admiration and national attention.
No trip to Tuscaloosa is complete without a meal at the original Dreamland Bar-B-Que. First opened by John "Big Daddy" Bishop in 1958, the restaurant has hosted celebrities like Reba McEntire and Hank Williams Jr. The story goes that the idea to build a restaurant on the land next to his home came to Bishop in a dream. Soon Bishop and his wife were selling ribs, sandwiches and more to regular customers. Once known for serving only ribs, white bread and sauce, today the restaurant's eight locations all serve pulled pork, chicken, traditional side items and desserts.
The sauce recipe is a tightly kept secret, but what we do know is that it's vinegar-based with hints of garlic and brown sugar. Dreamland encourages its customers to use the slices of white bread served with the ribs to soak up any extra sauce left on their plates.
Get your fill in Birmingham
Birmingham is a barbecue lover's mecca. From pulled pork at Jim 'N Nick's to Full Moon's famous chow-chow, there's plenty to keep your taste buds entertained. Pace yourself as you sample some of the best Alabama has to offer.
Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q has served the Birmingham community for more than 25 years, and it now boasts more than 25 locations throughout the South and in Colorado. Known for its pulled pork, cheese biscuits and homemade slaw, the restaurant consistently receives accolades from local and national publications like Saveur and Bon Appétit. In addition, Jim 'N Nick's was crowned the winner in the Alabama Tourism Department's inaugural Alabama BBQ Bracket.
Also in Birmingham's Southside is Full Moon Bar-B-Que. The restaurant famous for its half-moon cookies and chow-chow – a spicy, sweet Southern relish – was once owned by Pat James, then was bought in 1996 by brothers David and Joe Maluff. Full Moon now has eight locations, including the original.
Another must-try barbecue joint is Saw's BBQ in Homewood is young compared to longstanding pork houses like Full Moon, Jim 'N Nick's and Dreamland, but it hasn't taken long for it to become a local favorite.
Saw's barbecue is North Carolina-style and served in a signature vinegar-based sauce. While the Birmingham location is the only source for the restaurant's pulled pork, ribs, chicken with white sauce, stuffed potatoes and home-style sides, Saw's Sauce is available online, in stores across Alabama and at other retailers throughout the country. Saw's also boasts two sister restaurants in Birmingham – Saw's Soul Kitchen and Saw's Juke Joint.

Nancy Pelosi gave a marathon speech on illegal immigration the other day. But how would she know much about the realities of open borders, given her palatial retreat in Northern California and multi-millionaire lifestyle that allows wealthy progressives like herself to be exempt from the consequences of her own hectoring? In the end, the House minority leader was reduced to some adolescent racialist patter about her grandson wishing to look more like his Mexican-American friend.
I was thinking of the San Francisco Democrat's speech last week, during a brief drive into our local town, in a region that is ground zero of California's illegal immigration experience.
Illegal immigrants are neither collective saints nor sinners, but simply individuals who arrive from one of the poorest regions in the Americas, without legality or much in the way of English, or high school education.
They encounter an American host that has lost confidence in its once formidable powers of assimilation and integration as well as its ability to mint Americans from diverse races, religions, and ethnicities. Instead, American culture has adopted an arrogant sense that it can ensure near instant parity as redemption for supposed past –isms and –ologies. That may explain the immigrant's romance for Mexico to which he fights any return, and the ambiguity about America in which he fights to stay.
We dare not mention illegal immigration in California as a factor in the state's implosion. But privately, residents assume it has something to do with the 20 percent of the state's population that lives below the poverty level. Illegal immigration plays a role in the fact that one-third of the nation's welfare recipients lives in California and that one of four state residents was not born in the United States—or that one-half of all immigrant households receives some sort of government assistance, and that one in four homeless people lives in California.
On the way to town, I passed three neighbors' parcels. All have something in common: several families are living on lots zoned for single-family residences in an array of illegal sheds, shacks, and stationary trailers. The premises are characterized by illegal dumping, zoning and building code violations, illegal electrical hook-ups, and petty misdemeanors of unlicensed dogs and strays. I remember similar such rural settlements from my early youth in the 1950s, over a decade after the final end of the Great Depression. Now, in our back-to-the-future state, we see some concrete reminders of what my parents used to relate about life in the 1930s.
In this strange "day in the life" melodrama, at the dry cleaner in town, a car collided with mine in the parking lot. We both got out to inspect the fender-bender damage (he had more damage—maybe in the range of $500-800—than I did—probably around $400). I showed him my license, registration, and insurance authentication and asked him to do the same to complete the exchange of information.
But he seemed either to have no license, registration or insurance authentication or was reluctant to show me what he had. I suggested then that we call the police to verify our likely insurance claims, and let them determine whether either one of us was at fault. He said no and suggested instead cash, as if perceived comparative damage outweighed assigning culpability. He spoke limited English. I gave him $50 in cash (all I had in my wallet) and he sped out. I figured that my damage would not have exceeded the insurance deductible and his was likely greater. I suppose he felt a possible insurance claim was not worth even theoretical exposure to deportation. Our negotiation was calm and respectful.
On the way home, I went a different route. The roadside of an adjoining farm parcel has become a veritable dump: I stopped and counted the following sorts of trash piled by the almond orchard: two infant car seats; one entertainment center, three bags of wet garbage, one mattress, one stroller, five tires, and a stack of broken cement, paint cans, and drywall.
Pulling into my driveway, I noticed that a pit bull mix had been dumped at my house during my brief absence (I have already five rescue dogs). We called the animal control officer and are waiting for a reply. I think the result will be predictable, as in the case of my recent misadventure in purchasing expensive solar panels: though they were installed over three months ago, I am still waiting for Pacific Gas and Electric Co., the local utility, to hook the idled system to the grid.
Some time ago I was bitten by two dogs while biking down a rural avenue nearby. The animals' owners did not speak English, refused to tie up the unlicensed and unvaccinated biters, and in fact let their other dogs out, one of which also bit me. It took four calls to various legal authorities and a local congressional rep to have the dogs quarantined in an effort to avoid rabies shots. The owners were never cited.
The California solution is always the same: the law-abiding must adjust to the non-law-abiding. So I quit riding out here and they kept their unvaccinated, unlicensed, and untied dogs.
All that is a pretty typical day, in a way that would have been atypical some 40 years ago.
In California, civilization is speeding in reverse—well aside from the decrepit infrastructure, dismal public schools, and sky-high home prices. Or rather, the state travels halfway in reverse: anything involving the private sector (smartphones, Internet, new cars, TV, or getting solar panels installed) is 21st-century. Anything involving the overwhelmed government or public utilities (enforcing dumping laws, licensing dogs, hooking up solar panel meters to the grid, observing common traffic courtesies) is early 20th-century.
Why is this so, and how do Californians adjust?
They accept a few unspoken rules of state behavior and then use their resources to navigate around them.
1) Law enforcement in California hinges on ignoring felonies to focus on misdemeanors and infractions. Or rather, if a Californian is deemed to be law-abiding, a legal resident, and with some means, the regulatory state will audit, inspect, and likely fine his property and behavior in hopes of raising revenue. That is a safe means of compensating for the reality that millions, some potentially dangerous, are not following the law, and can only be forced to comply at great cost and in a fashion that will seem politically incorrect.
The practical result of a schizophrenic postmodern regulatory and premodern frontier state? Throw out onto the road three sacks of garbage with your incriminating power bill in them, or dump the cooking oil of your easily identifiable mobile canteen on the side of the road, and there are no green consequences. Install a leach line that ends up one foot too close to a water well, and expect thousands of dollars of fines or compliance costs.
3) California is no longer really a single state. Few in the Bay Area have ever been to the southern Sierra Nevada foothill communities, or the west side of the Central Valley, or the upper quarter of the state. Coastal California is simply far more left-wing than other blue states; interior California is far more right-wing than most red states; increasingly, the former dictate to and rule the latter.
4) The postmodern 21st-century state media in its various manifestations is committed to social justice, not necessarily to disinterested reporting. Few read about environmental lawsuits over the planned pathway of a disruptive high-speed rail project; not so in the case of planned state nullification of offshore drilling.
In many news accounts, the race and ethnicity of a violent criminal are deduced in the cynical (and often quite illiberal) reader comments that follow. Is the newspaper deliberately suppressing news information to incite readership, who, in turn, through their commentaries flesh out the news that is not reported and simultaneously spike online viewership by their lurid outrage?
Folk wisdom in California translates into something along the following lines: an unidentified "suspect" in a drunk driving accident that leaves two dead on the side of the road can for some time remains unidentified; a local accountant of the wrong profile who is indicted by the IRS has his name and picture blared.
There are progressive exceptions: universities—in email blast warnings to students and faculty about mere suspects seen on campus in connection with reported burglaries or sexual assaults—are not shy in providing physical characteristics, dress, and perceived racial identities. The media, in other words, feels by massaging its coverage of California realities, it can serve an invaluable role in guiding us to our fated progressive futures—with exceptions for income and class.
Californians, both the losers and beneficiaries of these unspoken rules, have lost confidence in the equal application of the law and indeed the idea of transparent and meritocratic government.
Cynicism is rampant. Law-abiding Californians do whatever is necessary not to come to the attention of any authorities, whose desperate need for both revenue and perceived social justice (150,000 households in a state of 40 million residents pay about 50 percent of California income tax revenue) is carnivorous.
A cynical neighbor once summed up the counter-intuitive rules to me: if you are in a car collision, hope that you are hit by, rather than hit an illegal alien. If someone breaks into your home and you are forced to use a firearm, hope that you are wounded nonlethally in the exchange, at least more severely than is the intruder. And if you are cited by an agency, hope it is for growing an acre of marijuana rather than having a two-foot puddle on your farm classified as an inland waterway.
I could add a fourth: it is always legally safer to allow your dog to be devoured by a stray pit-bull than to shoot the pit-bull to save your dog.
In the former case, neither the owner nor the state ever appears; in the latter both sometimes do.
In a state where millions cannot be held accountable, those who can will be—both to justify a regulatory octopus, and as social justice for their innate unwarranted privilege.

pSivida Corp. (NASDAQ: PSDV) (ASX: PVA), a leader in developing sustained release, drug delivery products for treatment of back-of-the-eye diseases, including the product candidate Iluvien® for the treatment of Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), today announced its first quarter results.
Revenues for the 2010 quarter were $476,000 as compared to $3.4 million a year earlier. The change from the prior year reflects the previously announced completion of the amortization of deferred revenue from the Company's amended collaboration agreement with Alimera Sciences, Inc. In last year's first quarter, $3.2 million of the $3.4 million of revenues resulted from revenue recognition attributable to this agreement. By contrast, revenues for this year's first quarter were primarily Retisert® royalty payments, which resumed following completion of an agreement with Bausch & Lomb. The Company reported a consolidated net loss of $3.1 million, or $0.17 per share, for the first quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to a consolidated net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.09 per share, for the prior year's first quarter.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $15.3 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $17.6 million at June 30, 2010. Net cash used of $2.3 million for the fiscal 2011 first quarter was higher than recent quarters as a result of a delayed payment of $500,000 of research funding received after the close of the quarter.
"Our financial resources are solid," said Dr. Paul Ashton, President and CEO of pSivida. "Product development continues to be our primary focus, both through our collaboration with Pfizer and our internal research and development. Drug delivery to the back of the eye represents a potential multi-billion dollar market opportunity for us. We are emphasizing the development of products using new generations of our technology systems."
The NDA for Iluvien for DME, pSivida's most advanced product candidate, is presently undergoing Priority Review by the FDA, and the Company anticipates a decision by the end of the year. If approved, pSivida will be entitled to a $25.0 million milestone payment from our licensee Alimera Sciences and 20% of profits (as defined) on sales of Iluvien by Alimera, which it has indicated could commence as early as the first calendar quarter of 2011.
pSivida Corp. will host a live webcast and conference call today, November 5, 2010, at 8:30 am ET. The conference call may be accessed by dialing (866) 804-6929 from the U.S. and Canada, or (857) 350-1675 from international locations, passcode 87940653. The conference can also be accessed on the pSivida Corp. website at www.psivida.com. A replay of the call will be available approximately two hours following the end of the call through November 12, 2010. The replay may be accessed by dialing (888) 286-8010 within the U.S. and Canada or (617) 801-6888 from international locations, passcode 20564444.
pSivida is a world leader in the development of tiny drug delivery products that are administered by implantation, injection or insertion and provide sustained release of drugs on a controlled and level basis for months or years. The Company uses these systems to develop treatments for serious, unmet, medical needs. The Company's most advanced product candidate, Iluvien®, delivers fluocinolone acetonide (FA) for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). DME is a leading cause of vision loss, affecting more than a million people in the US alone, for which there is currently no FDA-approved drug therapy. Iluvien is licensed to Alimera Sciences, Inc., which is completing fully-recruited Phase III clinical trials and submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2010. In August 2010, the FDA granted Priority Review status for the NDA. pSivida has two products approved by the FDA for sustained release delivery of drug to treat chronic back-of-the-eye diseases: Retisert® for the treatment of posterior uveitis and Vitrasert® for the treatment of AIDS-related cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. pSivida has licensed both of these products and the technologies underlying them to Bausch & Lomb Incorporated. pSivida also has a worldwide collaborative research and license agreement with Pfizer Inc. under which Pfizer may develop additional ophthalmic products using certain of the Company's technologies. pSivida's intellectual property portfolio consists of over 50 patent families, more than 100 granted patents, including patents accepted for issuance, and more than 150 patent applications. pSivida conducts its operations from Boston in the United States and Malvern in the United Kingdom.

In his Thevaram hymn, Saint Tirunavukkarasar questions the wisdom of those speaking loudly vain philosophy and dynasty pride without knowing that Lord Shiva in Tirumalpur holds the bowl of inexhaustible blessings which would pour on them within seconds of prayers. ? This is the 11th Shiva temple in Thondaimandalam region praised in the hymns of Gnanasambandar and Tirunavukkarasar.
Theerthavari is important on the Maga star day during the 10 day Masi Brahmmotsavam in February-March when Garuda Seva dedicated to Lord Vishnu also takes place. Aadi Fridays and Pooram in July-August, Aani Tirumanjanam in June-July, Tirukarthikai in November-December and Margazhi Tiruvadhirai in December-January are the other festivals celebrated in the temple.
The presiding deity-Moola Linga is made of sand by Mother Parvathi on the banks of Virudaseera River. To avoid dissolution of the sand Linga during abishek, it is covered by a copper pot. Lord Vishnu as Senthamarai Kanna Perumal is near Lord Shiva in a worshipping form. Adhikara Nandhi is in standing form before Lord. Though a Shiva temple, as Lord Vishnu worshipped here, Garuda Seva is celebrated during the Brahmmotsavam festival.
Sri Manikandeeswarar Temple, Tirumalpur ? 631 053, Tirumarperu, Vellore district.
The temple covers an area of 1.20 acre with compound walls, two prakaras-corridors and a Rajagopuram facing east.??Chakkara Theertham is before the temple.??Lord?s shrine is facing east and that of Mother the south.??There are shrines of Lords Vinayaka, Chidambareswarar, Somaskandar, Muruga, Chandikeswara, Nataraja and Mother Gajalakshmi in the prakara.
As Lord Vishnu got back His discuss in this temple, it is believed that devotees would have no threats from enemies.??Also they succeed in litigation cases.
Devotees perform abishek to Lord and offer Vastras.
Lord Choleeswarar installed in the temple in memory of Paranthaka Chola is facing west.??Mother Durga appears with Her eight hands with a merciful look.??Garuda Seva in favour of Lord Vishnu is part of the Brahmmotsavam as He prayed Lord Shiva in this temple.

Would you let your Groom plan your wedding for £13,000?
That's the deal with E4's Don't Tell The Bride TV series. They provide a budget of £13,000 if the groom-to-be plans the wedding in 3 weeks without telling the bride (hence the title).
Your groom is likely to be encouraged to plan the most outrageous wedding he or they (the producers) can think of because that's entertainment! I don't doubt brides properly drill their future husbands with brides dress styles, wedding venue preferences and more before the day they part company but somewhere along the way this seems to go awry! Because those tears are hard to fake!
And a good thing to because we'd be so bored otherwise.
I haven't seen the whole series but I thought it would be fun to come up with suggestions for outrageous weddings and I'd love for you to add your own ideas in comments. I can't promise these haven't already been done.
How about you supersize the wedding with some great props for a magical Gullivers Travels themed wedding where the guests, bride and groom are all tiny! It'd make for some great photos and I bet this one hasn't been done yet!
Sticking with the storybook theme how about a Mad Hatters Tea Party Wedding. The bride would look quaint in her blue and white Alice dress and the groom could be dressed as the mad hatter! The groom does wear a top hat afterall. The officiant could be dressed as the white rabbit.
There must be a groom out there who is a space geek who'd love to re-enact the moon landing for this wedding day! Bride and groom wear space suits and they bounce around on a fabricated moon with a cute moon buggy. They can eat space rock cakes!
Sticking with the space theme how about Martian fans getting in the alien vibe with dazzling costumes reminiscent of those as they may have featured in the original Star trek Tv series. Or forget the Martians and just go all out Star Trek! Plenty of Trekkies getting married this year.
How about the Bride and her bridal party have to solve a mystery before she gets to marry her groom! Vintage 1920s costumes, talented team of actors. It'd take more planning than 3-weeks though I fear!
So many guys and gals love a good Zombie horror film, why not make that the theme but bear in mind children might be present! So many great party items and ideas for bride and groom outfits if you want to do an all out walking dead party. Beautiful white wedding dress and red paint splats for fake blood effect.
How about a wedding at a Zoo, whereby the bridesmaids and officiant have to wear animal costumes, possibly hairy ape suits! The bride could get away with a wedding gown but underneath she could wear some of those animal toe slippers! (see below).
Bride and Groom and guests could all be invited to a massive indoor pool party complete with floating flamingos, giant rubber rings and not a wedding dress in sight!
How about Knights of Camelot, Arthurian legend medieval theme with some awesome re-enactments and of course the groom wears armour and rides in on a white stallion for his bride who is dressed as Guinevere.
Add your ideas in comments!

Q: MacOS 'open'-command for GNU/Linux MacOS has a neat open command:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/open.1.html
Does GNU/Linux have a similar command?

A: Yes, Linux is configurable, as Slowki says.  However, that means that the answer is Yes..  Linux is configurable so it has at least five commands that are equivalent to this.   Did you think that Linux developers would ignore such an idea?  ☺

*

*GNOME used to have gnome-open.

*GNOME now has gvfs-open.

*KDE has kde-open.

*XFCE has exo-open, which uses the desktop's preferred applications settings.

*The FreeDesktop people have xdg-open, which will try to invoke one of the preceding four, or attempt to perform something appropriate itself.

Of course, these are all predicated upon having a "desktop environment" of some sort.  They all consult their various desktop environments' "settings" databases.  (There's a rough agreement across several desktop environments about the settings databases.)  But then so is your question, as MacOS 10's open is also predicated upon a desktop.
However, that doesn't mean that the TUI world is lacking similar tools.  The run-mailcap command operates from the mailcap and mime.types settings files, for example.  However, the TUI world is a subject better treated by a separate question.
Further reading

*

*https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34434/

*xdg-open.  Arch Linux wiki.

A: No, Linux is too configurable for that, on OSX you start off with Safari, the OSX File Manager, etc, but on my laptop right now I don't even have graphical and I work purely in TTY, to get an open command on Linux to work it would need to be told how to handle every file, which at that point I might as well just make my own.
#!/bin/bash
if [ -d $1 ]; then #Check if $1 is a directory
    nautilus $1 #To be honest pcmanf is way better
fi
if [ -f $1 ]; then #Check if $1 is a file
    if [ $1 == *.txt ]; then #Is the extension .txt?
        gedit $1
    fi
fi

I personally prefer to alias the file extensions, so I can just type to path to the file and it will open it, decompress it, compile it, etc, it's one of the better features of ZSH, I recommend you try it.

No one wakes up one morning and says, I'm going to be living the rest of my life in agonizing pain, unbelievable fatigue, spending thousands of dollars on diagnosing, treatments and lifestyle changes, as well as living in deep depression and a completely unpredictable life, and is ok with it. Yet this is the reality that thousands of people around the world are now living with every day. As we all know there are countless treatments available from medicine to physical therapies and many non-traditional routes.
Some sufferers of this beast have been lucky enough to have found some therapies that have been successful or beneficial to helping them lead a somewhat "normal" life. Some have had some up and down success and marginal improvement. And then there are "the rest of us." It seems like any and all treatments have been tried with not even a slight hint of relief. No matter what category of treatment success, or lack thereof, the life we once lived is no longer what it once was. So where do we go from here?
At this point no one knows what causes fibromyalgia, therefore successful treatment options are few and far between. The things that are out there now are not a sure thing for successful symptom management. Out of all the unpredictable things that sufferers of this condition see on a daily basis, there is one constant, life continues. What that life is is something very different for everyone. Everyone is at a different point in their journey both mentally and physically. They say there are 6 stages of fibromyalgia but I think in reality there are many more. The exact number depends on the person, the number of symptoms, and they type of life we are living.
There is a a coping mechanism, if that's what you want to call it, called Radical Acceptance. I had never heard of this until my therapist brought it up to me. Yes, I was seeing a therapist at one point as many of you also have or are still seeing one, as part of the pain management part of my journey. When he said that I should be trying to "practice" this I had no idea what this entailed and so began yet another step in trying to "help myself" and move on.
Essentially what radical acceptance is is a concept where you have to come to a point where you know your circumstances are not going to change, you are in a difficult situation but you have to learn to accept what your life is now and figure out a way to cope and have as positive a life as we can give ourselves. Now that may not be a very technical definition of what radical acceptance really is but this is my understanding of what it is, how to apply this and move on is a whole different thing and something I am still working on.
Fibromyalgia affects every part of our lives and to try to align our bodies and minds to reach a level of being able to function to some degree of harmony is a difficult task. Many of our journeys are similar in a lot of ways but also drastically different so what works for one, may not work for another but at some point we need to get as close to a whole person as we can.
So let's start with the mental piece because this can affect the entire outcome. For most of us, an actual diagnosis was many years in the making. We know the story, vague symptoms begin to show up and thus the process begins. When the actual diagnosis is finally given many of us didn't know how to react. For some it was a weight lifted off our shoulders, a sort of justification that this was not all in our heads. For others, it felt like a death sentence, doomed to a life we would never wish on our worst enemies. And for yet more, a starting point, a challenge to fix as much of it as we can. No matter what spectrum we fell on, we can all agree that our mental health took a hit, for some already struggling with mental health, this likely took it down several notches.
At this point everyone around us has an opinion, good, bad, or ugly on how to deal with this mental burden. And I'm not going to be that person who tells anyone how to deal with this. What I will say is that we had to come to a point of deciding the best way to help our mind and hearts. Whether it's medication, talk therapy, or our own brand of therapy, we need to do take care of our mental health before we can take care of our physical health. It's a starting point. It's accepting that we need to take care ourselves mentally.
Physical well-being is a unique challenge as well. Now I could probably write a book on the obstacles of working on this part of it as many of you can as well. So let's leave it as it's a very long process of trying more medications than you can count, dealing with side effects you never knew existed, and more hurry up and wait than you've ever experienced. But honestly you need to do whatever you can do to make yourself feel better. We've all heard and read about the importance or exercising or moving a little each day.
Now I understand that and have been trying to get myself on track with that as well but many of us also suffer a flare up, increased pain or spasms when exercising too. So then what? It's learning to accept what our limitations are and developing a routine around them and do what works for us individually.
Putting mind and body together will forever be a challenge and a daily struggle. We all have those days when our minds are sharp, fresh, and full of ambition but our bodies are betraying us. Then we have those days where we wake up and feel ok physically and feel like it will be a rare "good day" so we want to get on top of things and be productive but our mind is deeply foggy and putting a sentence together becomes a chore.
There is no good answer to dealing with either situation so you do the best you can. So here we are, this new reality we are living. The reality of knowing no two days will be the same. A reality where we now live life one day at a time. We can't push ourselves mentally or physically because we know the consequences, we need to find that balance, to radically accept what our life will be and try to learn to be ok with it.
We need to learn to be gentle with ourselves, to not let the guilt of our limits get in the way of enjoying the good days. With some work we can learn to accept this new reality that is our life now.

Pigs x7 / Rubber Oh / Blank Studios
Sam is a recording engineer, mixer and producer, based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the North East of England, working out of his own commercial studio, Blank Studios.
He also writes and plays guitar in alt rock / metal band Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, and in psych pop band Rubber Oh.
by Jamie Ford • 27 Jan 2022
Digging into the creative process, Byta speaks with artists, musicians, producers, DJs and anyone involved with music creation. A conversation about how they create, collaborate and share music. From studio setups to routines, and the first person to hear about the next 'big' work.
How, when and where did you start making music? Are you primarily a musician or a producer, or do something else?
I'm a musician and producer. I play in the band Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs and run Blank Studios, a commercial studio in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
On the studio side of things, I started Blank back in 2008, alongside two other producers based in Newcastle. Originally a portable studio set up, going from location to location, in 2010 we opened our first studio space, and in 2018 we moved to our current home on Warwick Street.
With the band, Pigs x7 was formed in 2012 as one of many projects we would play around with amongst our circle of friends. Matt, Johnny and I all went to school together in Richmond (North Yorkshire), and regularly started bands and projects together. Alongside Adam and Ewan [the first drummer Pigs drummer] we hit upon a good balance of influences, and the whole thing grew from there. A few years in though, work and family life meant Ewan had to take a step back and Chris, our current drummer, replaced him.
Who would you consider some of your biggest influences when it comes to your "sound"?
Early on the likes of Sleep and Black Sabbath were obvious influences. The down-tuned, valve amp heavy sound of Sleep's guitars, along with the rolling drums and and bass lines of Sabbath are a compelling vibe. But ultimately we tended to just write, and ultimately create an aesthetic with the sound in whatever manner felt write in respects to what made us smile. Whether it was something fast and Kraut-ey or slow and doom-ey.
Within the bands there's a very long list of influential musical persuasions, and they all get drawn upon at various points in search of bringing the music together.
Explain your creative process? Do you have a routine?
Writing with Pigs has evolved over the years. Originally we wrote like it was on a roll of toilet, just adding and adding riffs and sections that felt appropriate to where things had reached to that point. 'Feed the Rats' was built up in this nature.
With King of Cowards there was more writing done with a mind toward individual tracks. Often one of us would have the skeleton of a track, and in the practice room we would work on it's arrangement and look to see if it paired with any ideas or riffs anyone else had. Through that process we'd get interesting movements and shifts within the music. We'd often also write with solo's, vocals and additional features in mind, and then once the base of the track felt right, those elements would be added.
What is your "studio" setup?
We write and record these days pretty much exclusively in Blank Studios. It's got a big open live room, with high ceilings and lush acoustics, so it's great to play in. The studio also has all the equipment and ergonomics we need to record and produce music too; plenty of Neve pres, lots of nice outboard, a great mic collection, an isolation booth…
Gear wise there's mountains of awesome stuff at our finger tips. Amazing compressors like the LA2A, 1176 or the neve 33609. Big ATC main speakers that are a joy to work on. Then there's fun things like the plate reverb and spring reverbs, a massive guitar pedal collection, a handful of synths…
We're super fortunate in the position we're in, and it makes for a lot of fun when it comes to the production of the records.
What is your process when working with other people? How is collaboration different in the studio vs working remotely?
For the most part I take on the technical roles in the band, of engineer, producer and mixer. Though I'll often bring in John Martindale, one of the other Blank Studios engineers, to help in the tracking stages.
At what point(s) are you comfortable letting other people hear what you are working on?
Fairly quickly in the process, to be honest. Amongst us we've all been a part of, and worked on, numerous records and projects. We're beyond the point of being too precious about things, and generally we're all fairly at ease with our abilities (or lack of!). Ultimately it doesn't make much difference to us when other people hear something, as it's unlikely to change anything, so there's not much of a need to be concerned about that.
Do you share your work in progress (streams or downloads)? Any technical frustrations?
I'm not really one for sharing work while it's in progress, unless it's with band mates or collaborators. Oftentimes as well it's some awful iPhone recording of a clean guitar or something similar, nothing you want to be any further out there than it absolutely needs to be! So technical frustrations are the least of my concerns. I have in the past used the various music hosting platforms (soundcloud, bandcamp et al) to create private links of unreleased stuff to share with people, but usually of prior-to-release finished material, and it's always fairly low key, so I don't give it too much thought.
Byta delivers fast and secure audio sharing
With Byta you are in control of your music.
How do you know when a track/album is finished?
We'll have the album mostly written and demoed before tracking in the studio, so the recording time is as much a process to making sure we all put our parts down to the best of our abilities. I'll then take it away, so to speak, and mix over over the subsequent weeks. In answer to the question of knowing when it's finished, though, it's pretty uninspiring in that there's no fanfare, it just reaches a point where doing more isn't adding much more, so it's time to stop!
How do you listen to the final mixes/mastered work?
I'll send mixes around to the band, and everyone has their preferred method of referencing. But generally, all the bands are fairly laid back, and happy to go with it if I'm happy with where it's at. Any feedback gets looked at, and tweaks are done, and then it's off to mastering.
I'll always listen to master on the main speakers at the studio at the earliest opportunity. I'll also listen on my headphones and then on various other systems – a laptop, the hi-fi, earbuds…
How important is pre-release security when sharing new work?
Pigs is fortunate to of never had any issues with pre-release security, fortunately. Whether that's because everyones been careful with it, or that the wider world just doesn't care that much though is another question….
That said though, it is important for all the projects I work on, not just with Pigs, but as a producer with all the albums I've been a part of.
Having a good album campaign that builds up to the fanfare it deserves on release day is super important on many levels.
Who on your team gets to hear the final versions first and why, what formats do they each need?
Our manager and our label are the first sets of ears on things. Brad [our manager] might come into the studio, or otherwise, they'll all get a bunch of WAVs FTPed to them. We'll then all talk about sequencing and, after that get things off to mastering.
Outside of your inner circle, who are the people that will need to hear the new tracks next?
I don't really know! At this point, I'm clocking off! I'm probably ready to move on to the next project, or need a bit of time off, and all the ears that "need" a listen are often the considerations of Brad and the label… I happily don't have to worry about that.
Anything you are working on, anyone you are working with and want to share?
I've actually just recently started a new project called Rubber Oh. It has a nearing horizon, of sorts… I'm super excited about this project and looking forward to sharing it. It's a bit of a "watch this space…"

A funny day today. My parents were visiting with plans to do lunch; instead we ended up going to Camden Market. My aunty had also traveeled down, the first time she'd been to London for 28 years. The tube proved an adventure, but the confusing corridors and barriers were soon mastered.
Part way through the day, we got a strange text message from my sister, "I've just found a dead man and had to do CPR". Eventually catching up with her, it turns out she'd been driving just round the corner from her house and saw a man laying down, with an elderly gent looking confused. They'd stopped – the other man had just found the guy on the floor. Checking, there was no immediate discernable pulse. At this point, a couple of other people turned up, one called the ambulance, the other turned out to be a doctor. Between the doctor and my sister (who's a nurse) they started full CPR and kept that going until the ambulance arrived, apparently about 15 minutes later. Things were not looking good as they left the guy being shocked in the ambulance.
The guy appeared to be in his late thirties and was carrying no ID at all. So sometime today, someone will report their family member or friend missing, things will be put together, and there will be bad news.
Life can be short – don't waste it.

Andre Drummond says he lost 10-15 pounds during his time away from the Cavaliers
Andre Drummond did his best to stay in shape while he wasn't playing in the NBA.

Andre Drummond is a big guy — there's just no other way to put it. On NBA.com, he's listed as 6'10 and 279 pounds. He's the second-heaviest of any player his height, and the 10th-heaviest player in the NBA. But Drummond's size is part of his appeal — specifically how mobile he is for a player his size — and the Los Angeles Lakers may be getting the most mobile version of him that we've ever seen.
During an interview on ESPN LA "Mason and Ireland" on Monday, Drummond revealed that he lost a significant amount of weight in the six weeks he was away from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"I used this time to get myself in the best condition possible. I've lost about 10-15 lbs during this time. Right now, I'm probably in the best shape I can be. I'm ready to play today."@AndreDrummond tells @VeniceMase & @LAIreland he's ready to play now https://t.co/Wda75IMccI pic.twitter.com/z5FpYVJ5nZ

Now, this is pretty standard offseason talk for a player — especially for a burly center like Drummond who's trying to prove he still has value in today's NBA — but with how long it's been since Drummond last played, it's not crazy to believe that he's dropped a few pounds in the last month.
The challenge for Drummond now is getting into game shape, and he talked about that challenge during his introductory press conference with the Lakers on Monday.
"This past month has been crazy for me just figuring out how to stay in game shape," Drummond said. "It's always easy to stay in shape, but game shape is always a lot harder to do without playing full-contact 5-on-5. But I figured it out. My staff is great who I worked with. I had an incredible month of work where I'm ready to play today."
The Lakers got their first up-close look at Drummond at the practice facility on Monday. If they're encouraged by what they see between now and Wednesday, it's possible that he'll make his debut for the team against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, if they decide he needs more time like they did with Dion Waiters last season, the soonest he'll be able to play is Friday against the Sacramento Kings.
Whenever he returns, it sounds like he'll have some extra motivation to play his best basketball, something we've already seen from other players that have left bad situations this season like Nicolas Batum, James Harden and Blake Griffin. That's obviously good news for the Lakers, especially if his revenge games come with a revenge body.

The survival film is a film genre in which one or more characters make an effort at physical survival. It often overlaps with other film genres. It is a subgenre of the adventure film, along with swashbuckler films, war films, and safari films. Survival films are darker than most other adventure films which usually focus their storyline on a single character, usually the protagonist. The films tend to be "located primarily in a contemporary context" so film audiences are familiar with the setting, meaning the characters' activities are less romanticized.
In a 1988 book, Thomas Sobchack compared the survival film to romance: "They both emphasize the heroic triumph over obstacles which threaten social order and the reaffirmation of predominant social values such as fair play and respect for merit and cooperation." The author said survival films "identify and isolate a microcosm of society", such as the surviving group from the plane crash in The Flight of the Phoenix (1965) or those on the overturned ocean liner in The Poseidon Adventure (1972). Sobchack explained, "Most of the time in a survival film is spent depicting the process whereby the group, cut off from the securities and certainties of the ordinary support networks of civilized life, forms itself into a functioning, effective unit." The group often varies in types of characters, sometimes to the point of caricature. While women have historically been stereotyped in such films, they "often play a decisive role in the success or failure of the group".

Hungarian Film Week
Hungarian slaughterhouse love story wins top prize at Berlin film festival
Hungarian slaughterhouse love story wins top prize at Berlin film festival.
On Body and Soul took the Golden Bear, beating odds-on favourite The Other Side of Hope, which came away with best director for Aki Kaurismaki.
Hungary's On Body and Soul, a tender love story set in a slaughterhouse, won the Golden Bear top prize Saturday at the Berlin film festival, Europe's first major cinema showcase of the year.
The drama by Ildiko Enyedi, one of four female film-makers in competition, features graphic scenes in an abattoir set against the budding romance of two people who share a recurring dream.
The win marked an upset at the 11-day Berlinale, where a European refugee comedy by cult Finnish film-maker Aki Kaurismaki, The Other Side of Hope, had been the odds-on favourite. Kaurismaki took the Silver Bear for best director.
Enyedi thanked the festival for embracing her first full-length feature in 18 years but said working conditions in Hungary were growing more difficult under prime minister Viktor Orban.
"We live in a more and more absurd country, frighteningly absurd country," she told reporters after the ceremony, while adding that the state film fund served as a "sort of island … We can work there at relative freedom, peace and we get professional support."
