Introducing Dead Man Fall
I first heard of the band named Dead Man Fall a few years ago when they somehow managed to get their song Bang Your Drum involved in a big way on the Craig Ferguson Show in America. The results (noted in the interview below) were nothing short of staggering for a young unsigned/DIY band from Scotland.
That success is only part of their story. Like every band or artist I am friends with or have spoken to; there are challenges, frustrations and thankfully moments where you are reminded why you do it.
Despite hearing about them back in 2014 I never managed to see them live until May when they supported their friends Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5 at their Academy show. I was thoroughly impressed and said as much in blog review.
I dug deeper and what I have heard mixes a celtic melancholy with euphoria, heart and soul with hope and dreams. They are impressive. I should have checked them before now!
The band have released a string of singles over the last few years, check this Spotify playlist;
I got in touch with the band to find out more about their history, what makes them tick and to find out what else they have planned ahead of their headline show at the wonderful St Lukes in Glasgow on Saturday 5th August. TICKETS HERE
Check their most recent video below for What's The Point which, for me, mixes Doves with Hot Chip.
1. How did Dead Man Fall form? Where and when?
DES: I intially started DMF in my own bedroom in Cumbernauld. I was drumming in another band called Odeon Beatclub and was writing tunes in the background. Once that all came to an end in 2013 I started pushing forward with the songs on my own. I had recorded a few songs to get things going then gradually got the guys involved by letting them hear the recordings and the kind of sound I was pursuing. We all went to school together and had been in many other bands, but never in the same one. The name Dead Man Fall comes from a game we used to play out in the street, sometimes I think it makes us sound a bit darker, almost like a goth or metal band but It's grown into itself.
2. Did you have a sound in mind when you formed, songs written?
DES: In the early days the sound was very electronic based. I would program beats, synths and all that then start to put real instruments and vocals over the top of that. It started to go in the way of the bands I had grown up listening to such as Joy Division and New Order as one of my older brothers always blasted that out when we shared a room, combined with the bands I was starting to listen to round that time such as The Rapture and Hot Chip. I had about five songs written before anybody else joined. Nowadays songs come from myself in the same way, but also from jamming as a band in the Studio. That's exactly how Bang Your Drum came about so it's helped to add a different element to our sound.
3. You received some incredible exposure in America, how did that come about?
VINNIE: It all started from me sending Craig Ferguson a tweet with our video for Bang Your Drum which I just hoped he would retweet to his 2 million followers. He then set up his own tweet saying "another great band from Glasgow" which included our video. Then about 5 minutes laterhe followed us and sent us a DM asking us to come over and play on the Late Late Show. I nearly passed out when that came through. My hands were shaking when I was trying to phone the guys. Anyway to cut a long story short we never got the Visa but he then asked if he could use our song for his final episode. We of course said yes. When we seen how it was used it blew our mind. He had all these A-List celebrities lip synching to our song and then a live performance in the studio after that with guys like Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols on guitar. It was mad. Then about two days later we went to number 1 on the American iTunes Rock Chart, number 1 on US Amazon digital downloads, number 2 in Canada and around number 25 in the uk. Our social media exploded.
4. Was it frustrating not to be able to get over there afterwards?
VINNIE: Like you wouldn't believe. A lot of time and money was wasted to not even get a sniff. It took up so much of the band's time so we looked as if we were doing nothing for a while. We also couldn't get a Visa this year to go over and play the Firefly Festival in Delaware. The whole American visa process is a farce. It's just a big money making industry in it's own right.
5. What else have the band achieved to date? What has been your favourite live show to date?
DES: A highlight was playing the Tbreak stage at the first time T in The Park headed to Strathallan. I would't say that was my own personal live favourite. We played The Record Factory and King Tuts within about two months of each other, and both of them were rammed, hot and sweaty. It was also the first gigs were we had people singing the lyrics back to the tunes. Our recent support slot with Colonel Mustard at the O2 was a brilliant show although we had a few stressful technical difficulties up on stage. Gareth our Drummer loved that one! Mainly because the audience were great but also he thought it was a buzz wondering what was going to go wrong next....My Bass decided to cut out mid song(s), My acoustic guitar slipped out of tune with new strings the day before. Gareth's bass drum beater also flew off mid song, he had to run and grab another kick pedal and screw it on before the beat was supposed to come back in. He managed to do it though!
6. What have you been up to most recently?
VINNIE: We're just back from Amsterdam last weekend after going over to film our video for our next single Andy Warhol. We filmed it all ourselves and got a lot of good footage. We were all dressed as Andy Warhol although we could have easily been mistaken for Tim Burgess. It got a bit messy later on. I lost my mind then lost my phone. Luckily most of the footage was on Gareth's phone. It was only minimal footage on mine although some of it would've been good stuff. It was a great trip though. By that I mean the trip to Amsterdam.
7. What have you got planned?
DES: We really need to hit the festivals next year. We're playing a brand new scottish festival 'Argyll Gathering' down in Helensburgh in August. It's a cracking line up with Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5, The Lafontaines, Mickey 9's and Bwani Junction playing too. We're also playing a Musicians against Homelessness show in the Drygate in September but after that we're going to be applying for every festival we can. When we play to a new crowd more often than not we really win them over. I would like to think that the set we can blast out is more than deserving and suitable for a number of festival stages.
8. What music are you all listening to at present?
VINNIE: I've become slightly obsessed with Arcade Fire of present. I had been wanting to see them for years and got to see them at the Corn Exchange only last month. It blew me away. Now I'm just watching clips of them on Youtube and stuff like a little teenage girl. It's not healthy. The past few weeks I've been jumping between them, LCD Soundsystem, Nick Cave, Radiohead and Coldplay….and I don't care who knows that, I love them.
Gareth's just been listening to the song Everything Now by Arcade Fire, Kev has been listening to Suuns.
DES: I probably don't listen to as much new music at the moment. Today I had on AM by the Arctic Monkeys. It's one of the rare albums I never ever skip a song on. The other day I was delving back into The Prodigy reliving the glory days. Sometimes I'll stick on older stuff like Marlena Shaw and Motown stuff, Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell must be one of my favourite tunes ever.

Songs From Northern Britain
Last year I came to the conclusion that Songs From Northern Britain (SFNB) is the best Teenage Fanclub album. I dug back into the treasure trove of the bands back catalogue after seeing the band 4-times over a 3-month period when they were promoting their fantastic new album Here.
Songs from SFNB featured heavily in the setlists to the delight of the Teenage Fanclub Fanclub.
My favourite TFC album is still probably Bandwagonesque, given that I discovered it (and the band) at the age of 15 - it was perfect timing.
I was 21 when SFNB was released, 20-years ago. 1997 was a seminal year for music with many bands and artists pushing boundaries and highlighting their musical and songwriting development - Spiritualized with Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating In Space, Primal Scream with Vanishing Point, The Chemical Brothers with Dig Your Own Soul, the Super Furries with Radiator, The Verve with Urban Hymns ..... the list goes on. Google best albums of 1997 and you'll be met by a lengthy list of online features to mark the 20th anniversary of some incredible releases. (can any match SFNB track for track?)
The title of the album was a marked response to Britpop and 1997 was the year that music moved on. It is notable that Oasis released Be Here Now - a backward step - while everyone else was moving forwards, including their arch rivals Blur with their eponymous album released in February of 1997.
Teenage Fanclub never followed or jumped on trends, even if Creation/Song attempted to get them involved with Britpop and multi formatted singles for the release of Grand Prix. It was notable that the bands next release was the Teenage Fanclub Have Lost It EP.
The album begins with the aptly named Start Again written by Norman Blake. Warm guitars usher us back into the Fanclub's world and what a wonderful world it is - hooks, harmonies, glorious guitars and the sound of a band gelling with ease.
Gerry Love's first offering is Ain't That Enough with its sky scraping chorus that has caused me to punch the air with delight and pogo like a teenager every time I have been at one of their live shows.
Here is a sun rise ain't that enough?
True as a clear sky, ain't that enough?
Can't Feel My Soul may well be my favourite Raymond song. It flows superbly, like all of his best work, and it also contains ferocious guitar to lift the chorus. The guitar solo is electrifying.
Back to Norman for the wonderful I Don't Want Control Of You. The Fanclub melodies and harmonies are set for stun - this is simply beautiful, written for Norman's young daughter.
This song took on a whole new meaning for me when I caught Norman playing a solo set in Blackfriars basement many years ago and he explained who it was about. Then it went to a new level when I became a father myself. It brings a tear to the eye every time I hear it now, particularly when the key change lifts it even higher.
I don't want control of you
The very heart and soul of you
Are places I wanna see
And every day I look at a different face
The feelings getting stronger with every embrace
Planets is a Blake and Francis MacDonald co-write and the opening lyrics fit perfectly with the album title and probably with how the band were feeling at the time. The strings are exquisite.
We're going over the country and into the highlands to look for a home
We're leaving nothing behind us and no-one will find us when we're on our own
McGinley's It's A Bad World is classic Raymond, picked guitar, soothing lyrics and voice and a natural flow around the circular riff.
Enter Gerry Love with the glorious Take The Long Way Round, this guy knows how to bring a smile to my face with genius guitar pop with a sense of euphoria.
Sunshine every beat when I'm around you
Feels like maybe I've been here before
The guitars kicking in after the first chorus are brilliant - chiming and lifting the song and listener. Love is at his best.
Pull the subway to the station
For that golden light sensation
The break down is unexpected and clever, before building to an epic and euphoric conclusion.
On Winter, Blake writes again about getting away from it all to a place where he and his love are cut off from everything. It is a theme that Blake and Love both return to regularly in their writing; romantic dreamers wanting to head out of the city to the sunshine and peace and quiet.
Sky is forever clear
Road never made it here
Forest so deep and green
Like nothing we've ever seen
McGinley's guitar playing is outstanding throughout SFNB, especially on the aforementioned Can't Feel My Soul and his next offering I Don't Care. He coaxes brilliant sounds and riffs and the harmonies on the choruses are the Fanclub at their best. Listen to Blake on the headphones, helping to lift the song - stunning.
Mount Everest has a beautiful extended guitar intro before Love sings in that glorious almost hushed voice of his.
Although Can't Feel My Soul may be my favourite Raymond song, Your Love Is The Place Where I Come From is arguably his finest moment. Acoustic, considered, loving, simple, soulful....
One of McGinley's many strengths is in his almost unique songwriting - it's so (seemingly) simple and at the same time so meaningful and soulful.
My sadness don't lie
My feelings can't hide
I just can't deny
What I feel inside
Again, McGinley finds his knack for creating something that flows superbly, hitting the sweet spot with the chorus and keeping it going. This song is a favourite of many of Teenage Fanclub's Fanclub when played live with Norman on the glockenspiel.
Gerry Love closes under 44-minutes of guitar pop genius with Speed Of Light. It is heartfelt, romantic and has a melancholic euphoria that Love seems to hit time and time again with his songwriting.
Need a changing face
When the wind's around you blowing
Don't forget to let your feelings go
Waste in space
If you're looking for persuasion
Everything you need can grow
So there you go; Teenage Fanclub at their very best in under 44-minutes. It leaves you wanting more, you want to play it again....and again - the sign of a good album.
As a Teenage Fanclub fan I am fortunate that the band have so many good albums to play again....and again. From the wonderful sound of a band finding themselves and having fun on A Catholic Education right through to the most recent Here - Teenage Fanclub deliver - love, dreams, romance, the sunshine, the city, the country, guitars, harmonies, choruses, warmth, melancholy, beauty
You'll find all of that and more in Songs From Northern Britain and anything else the Fanclub have written, recorded and produced. It's what they do.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Slits
cover I Heard It Through The Grapevine
I Heard It Through The Grapevine is one of the most famous and loved songs ever to be released by the legendary Motown Records.
3 of their biggest stars recorded and released the song between September 1967 and October 1968; beginning with Gladys Knight and the Pips. The song became an instant hit, reaching number 2 in the charts and deservedly so.
Everything about the song is exceptional - the story of hearing of a lost love, the groove, the beat, the organ.....
The Gladys Knight and the Pips version has a stunning vocal - Gladys talking directly to her lost love and telling of how she is just about to lose her mind, pleading for him to listen.
Losing you would end my life you see
Because you mean that much to me
The song was originally recorded by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Smokey has/had an incredible voice but for me this version doesn't capture the hurt that the song portrays.
The song was then recorded by Marvin Gaye in the Spring of 1967 but wasn't deemed a single so it was sidetracked on to his In The Groove album.
It was only after the Gladys Knight version became a hit that DJ's also began playing the Marvin version on radio, so Motown put it out as a single and it reached number 1.
The Marvin Gaye version is the definitive version. He captures the song in a way that Gladys Knight (who had to change the lyrics ever so slightly) and Smokey Robinson don't. He lives it, or he lived it, you hear it in his voice. It is sensational, rising at all the right moments, hitting notes others can only dream of. Check this incredible a cappella version. His band get the groove and they play it with an edge that the song deserves and demands.
Gaye may have recorded the definitive version, but my own personal favourite is the mind-blowing 11-minutes and 11 seconds version by Creedence Clearwater Revival that I discovered in my teens on their Chronicle Volume 1 (best of) album.
It really did blow my mind; the way the band lock into a groove, John Fogerty has the soulful voice to deliver the song, the guitars and the way they head off on a 8-minute jam that takes the song into previously unexplored territory. Gaye's version ends at 3-minutes and 12 seconds, just as the Creedence version really gets going with an explosive guitar solo.
Fogerty comes back in for a chorus and then the guitar is really unleashed, all the time backed by a rhythm section as tight and funky as they come.
The drums are outstanding throughout - from 5-minutes on they are let loose with the guitar with just the bass and rhythm guitar keeping the groove. I recall hearing this for the first time and then playing it to one of my best friends (remember this Reddy?) to marvel at it together.
Doug Clifford on drums may well deliver my favourite drums ever on this version of a Motown classic. He ups it at 6 minutes and 48 seconds and then just keeps it going, hammering his symbols, making up fills, sounding like he is having the time of his life.
Fogerty joins in and at 8-minutes and 20 seconds he finds a brilliant playful riff and his sensational band keep on going. Fogerty then comes out of that groove and slows it down slightly at 9-minutes and 9 seconds, his band still lost in the magical groove they have found.
The rhythm groove is allowed some breathing space, I like to imagine Fogerty just standing back and enjoying the groove. The song is faded out - how long did it go on for?! Is there a longer recording?!
Many other artists have recorded I Heard It Through The Grapevine. The Slits version, below, captures the song in the heady days of punk and has an explosive raw quality to it.
However it is the Creedence version that grabbed me - and it still does. Hope you enjoy.
A list with links to previous cover versions of the month is noted below.

My favourite Beatles song
Don't Let Me Down has been my favourite Beatles song for a long time now. Probably since my late teens or early 20's. There are many, many others I love - Got To Get You Into My Life, Tomorrow Never Knows, I Saw Her Standing There, Something, Here Comes The Sun, Strawberry Fields Forever, I'll Follow The Sun, Two Of Us......
However, at least for today, I thought I would write why Don't Let Me Down is my particular favourite.
In a nutshell, it is the bluesy, soulful rawness that is evident from Lennon's count-in (on this version) that brings in Billy Preston on organ, beautiful guitar by Harrison and Lennon's rich voice. McCartney and Starr lock in to a groove and create a solid platform for the others.
Lennon is so head over heels in love with Yoko Ono that he had to say it in 4 words rather than the usual 3. Lennon lays himself bare, committing himself completely and urging (pleading with) Ono not let him down. It is soulful, powerful and emotional. Lennon leaves the listener with no doubt.
The middle eight is possibly my all-time favourite, Lennon really goes for it and I love the melody and flow.
I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that has no past
The legendary rooftop performance
This is my favourite Lennon vocal performance and he is singing a love song like no other - he sings to Yoko in the choruses and his friends and the world in the verses, telling his tale, so good he had to tell someone.
And from the first time that she really done me
Ooh she done me
She done me good
By the last choruses Lennon is shouting 'hey' and 'whooping' as he really goes for it, his vocals are raspy and raw, Billy Preston plays some exquisite organ and just listen to Macca's bass.
The rooftop version (above) is my favourite; The Beatles last stand. They look fantastic - Lennon with his classic long hair, middle parting, side burns, round granny glasses and fur coat; McCartney in black suit, shirt and brown shoes complete with beard; George somehow making green jeans, converse and a fur coat look the coolest outfit going, Ringo looks a little cold and stoned in his red mac.
There are smiles - look at the way they all look at each other at times. They not only look fantastic, they sound AMAZING. If I ever get my hands on a delorean, some plutonium (or the knowledge of where and when a bolt of lightning would strike) and a flex capacitor - then I would head back for this show rather than the Cavern Club, Shea Stadium or Hamburg.
It's a tantalising glimpse of how good they still were - despite the differences between them at this stage.

Introducing Sun Rose
Sun Rose - great name, positive and warm - Everything Flows
Maximalist melodramatic funk-pop outfit from Glasgow - band description on Facebook
We like to take our time - Gus Wemyss, Sun Rose
For fans of Todd Terje, ESG etc - Maioux Miaoux
Sun Rose are a brand new band signed to Last Night From Glasgow (LNFG) who have just released their debut single Smirk ahead of their debut album later this year. Check the video below or head to iTunes to download or Spotify to stream.
Inspired by the likes of Talking Heads, Daft Punk, ESG and Kraftwerk, Calum Muir and Albert Kawmi began writing the songs which would form the basis of the Sun Rose debut album over the winter of 2013/14.
The friends had previously in a band together - Nevada Base - but then life got in the way. Things stalled a little until Gus Wemyss (also a previous member of Nevada Base) got involved in 2015 and by late 2016 Julian Corrie (Miaoux Miaoux and now Franz Ferdinand) was involved with production and mixing.
The completed album is an absolute gem - techno, electro, melodic, funky, disco, harmonies.... I'll be blogging about that nearer the time of release.
One of the beautiful thing about this band is that their only ambition was to release it on vinyl and play a couple of shows! It is all about the music - so much so that they have only recently set up a Facebook page. And the band name was only confirmed shortly before the release!
Smirk is fantastic - the guitar playing, vocals and changes in pace mean that there is an edge throughout. The piano break is sublime and then the synths and beat take things higher. The final 30-seconds take things even higher and leave you wishing for an extended mix. I can't wait to see and hear them play it live.
The Brian Sweeney produced promo video features members of the band and members of the LNFG label in a kaleidoscope style effect - keeping with the flow and changes of the song.

Introducing new Scottish music
The Second Hand Marching Band
Featured in a few blogs over the years
While my blog is completely free range - allowing me write about anything I desire at any time - I do love to discover new and up and coming bands/artists on the Glasgow/Scottish music scene.
I am now in the tenth year of writing my blog. So I've enjoyed looking back over some old blogs and I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised at the number of live reviews, interviews or features of DIY/unsigned artists that I have covered and in some cases championed (or managed/advised).
Here are links to blogs written on discovering bands/artists for the first time. Sometimes literally on formation, maybe at their first gig and on occasions - a long time after I should have heard about them/seen them/listened to them. (I have blogged about many of them more than once)
As a co-founder/board member of Last Night From Glasgow, I'm taking even more of an interest in the Glasgow and Scottish unsigned and DIY scene, determined to use the label to give artists a platform or a leg up to the next level. So look out for (semi)regular 'introducing' features.
Feel free to get in touch with recommendations.

Introducing - Radiophonic Tuckshop
Do you fancy discovering a band full of melodies, hook, humour, invention and a touch of psychedelia who sometimes record on an old Tascam Cassette Recorder? A band that are still evolving and haven't even played a handful of shows yet but have an EP coming out?
A band who describe themselves on Facebook as wonky pop, looney tunes and merry melodies, all swimming in nutty effects with a rich Beatleish undercurrent, clattering along like Supergrass doing Badfinger by way of an XTC Bond theme, all compressed vocals, ringing and lightly toasted guitars, stop/start riffs and a brilliant rhythm section. Extradordinary - slightly psychedelic and Super Furry super-tuneful!
Well look no further than Radiophonic Tuckshop, the new band formed by Joe Kane, the effervescent fizzbomb who has been in (and still is in) a number of other bands including my personal favourite Dr Cosmos Tape Lab. If you haven't read any of my previous blogs on them then check them out HERE Their Beyond The Silver Sea LP was my album of 2015.
Joe has recently contributed to the latest BMX Bandits album that you can read about in last months blogs, produced the Ette Homemade Lemonade album (and played on it and co-wrote the brilliant Heaven Knows) and still travels the world playing in Beatles tribute bands, including the famous Them Beatles - not a bad way to make a living and one that indicates his talent.
That talent has transferred to his recent project - Radiophonic Tuckshop who I caught at Nice n Sleazys back in April when they supported TeenCanteen. They played brilliantly and sounded superb and from a chat with Joe it all sounded very spontaneous and exciting - so I thought I would email him some questions to find out more.
You can read the interview below and look out for their debut EP coming out via Last Night From Glasgow in July with a launch show at the Hug and Pint. Excuse the cut and paste format, something went wrong when copying Joe's answers - hope you think it looks cool!
1. How did the Radiophonic Tuck Shop form?
I'd been toying with the idea of a new project for the best part of last year but wasn't keen on making it the ONLY JOE KANE solo ego-fest type thing again. I fancied more of a fake band ethos and Radiophonic Tuckshop was one of the names I had floating around that I was quite keen on. I started working on new songs and recordings at the end of last summer but was getting a bit fed up with me playing everything. It can get a bit hard to surprise yourself musically doing all the instruments.
The guys from Freckfest contacted me around March and asked if I fancied supporting BMX Bandits which I thought sounded fun but I didn't have a band and told them to leave it with me. I contacted a bunch of my longtime friends (who mostly happen to be musical) and luckily found a bands worth that were free and up for it. Sessions were easygoing and within 2-weeks we had a set. Everyone didn't hate it and seemed quite keen to carry on past the initial gig. Quite good!
2. Does this mean the end of Dr Cosmos Tape Lab, or is that a project you might return to in the future?
We're very together and in constant contact but just a bit busy with other things. I got a bit busy with being away for a long spell (or two) so we lost momentum but we have a full LP in the can awaiting release and we will record again in the near future. Side 2 is one long song suite/ghost story entitled Dead Man's Pyjamas and it's the best thing we've ever created. We recorded 4 albums plus a bunch of b-sides in two years so everyone deserves a rest!
3. You've got an EP coming out - tell us about the sounds and the songs on it
We knew we were going to do an album but had fresh arrangements of some older songs of mine that I thought had fallen by the wayside in the past so we decided to do them as their own little thing. The new live versions were all improvements so it seemed like a good idea to get them down. We decided to record the band live to the Tascam 424 mkiii 4-track cassette recorder (last used on Beyond The Silver Sea) at the room we rehearse in (Ian our drummers magical 'Bunker'). It took us one evening to record all of the backing tracks then another few weeks of drop in overdub sessions for vocals etc.
Running Commentary is the most obvious poppy one and in a previous life it was a less rocking more ornate arrangement that didn't work quite as well. It's more power-pop now and it suits it. We had fun on the video (coming soon) wearing silly trousers and taking over a street for an afternoon.
Buried Alive is the oldest song on the EP and has never been released in any form. It originated around 2004 and existed only a a skeletal late night demo for a long time but I always enjoyed its spookiness and thought it had a bit of potential.
Rockingham Palace Revisited started out as a drone jam which I banked thinking later on it could be reversed and used as the basis for something and that's exactly what I did. I sat up until 5am the other week recording bird song out of the window and harmonising with myself through a pedal basically trying (and failing) to do Dennis Wilson. Bring It On Girl was recorded (with Marco Rea) a few years ago for a Shindig magazine cover CD that never actually happened so I suppose it's never been released. This new version was fun to do with the whole band. It's about accidentally getting married and trying to escape an island of misery (true story). My favourite one is maybe As Hard As I Feel which is a song that doesn't make much sense really but is more of a feel and sound piece (!) than a standard song. It's like 3 and a half minutes inside my head. I can see us going down more of this route sonically than the standard guitar pop direction in the future.
4. Do you have future plans for the band? Things have happened quite quickly to date
We are now officially in album writing and recording mode. It's very exciting and I think it will be a real mix of sounds. We have the full band to play with but I also like the idea of more electronic sessions and bringing in additional instrumentation. I feel like I've made variations of the same weird pop record for the last 15-years and want to push myself production wise and experiment a bit.
5. What kind of stuff are you listening to at the moment?
I enjoy lounge and exotica stuff, late 70's and early 80's groove stuff, especially the extended 12-inch versions of things. I love a lot of the Bollywood stuff from the 70's too and I think arrangement wise there's a lot of stuff I'd like to draw on from those genres. I obviously listen to all the usual good stuff as well and will probably f**k off all these exciting ideas and just re-write another 12 Beatles and Beach Boys songs. That's OK too!
6. You are well known for your love of The Beatles - what do you make of the Sgt Pepper 'makeover'?
It's mostly a worthwhile endeavour but there's a few things I wasn't so sure about, like panning the lowery organ part of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. What was all that about? When it becomes someone who has nothing to do with the original music creation and production taking liberties like that then I think they need to have a word with themselves. The 2 bonus CD's of outtakes is where it's at for me.
7. Do you have a favourite Beatles album? Is it possible to choose just one?
I love different albums for different reasons! Love them all. White Album has probably been the most influential though as it was a favourite for a long time as it made it OK to put out a whole bunch of wildly varied stuff on an LP. It's like a catalogue of brilliant production sounds.
8. How do you write your own songs?
When I write songs I either start on a piano, guitar, ukulele or even a Casiotone and just feel about to see if anything's there. Usually not. Sometimes things can write themselves quite quickly or you just get a wee bit that you can bank for later. I'll hear a section in my head when I'm out occasionally and just whistle it on to my phone and pick it up when I get home. That's quite good. A lot of the time I just start working on a piece of music for fun and the song comes over it later and it ends up the finished thing. It's good to not have one way of doing things and to try out different methods from time to time.
9. Is there anyone you would like to write with?
Always Stu Kidd. We always come up with something. That will happen again. Same with Nic Denholm my old writing partner from The Owsley Sunshine. We always come up with something even though he is in LA now. Duglas and Marco I'm also a fan of and enjoy working with them too so more of that would be good. Aside from people I've worked with before though I'd love to write with the Radiophonic Tuckshop guys. There's a lot of scope there and I hope they all contribute to new material and it's not just my hackneyed old ideas! I really enjoy collaboration and I'll write with anyone if it's fun and fruitful. It usually is.
10. What can we expect from your live shows?
Silly trousers and weird loud pop songs. We want to become a bit electronic so we'll gradually ass new songs and instruments. We'd like to do more festivals and have our own dancing troupe. It might happen. We're having fun creating and we hope we can entertain people with it. If no-one likes it and we still have fun that's the main thing.

With Monsanto having carefully orchestrated the defeat of Proposition 37 in California, they are now at it again.
However, this time it is in Washington D.C. and the potential ramifications are much, much more serious.
With Congress back in session and trying to figure out how to fund the government for the coming year, a very treacherous "Monsanto" rider is still on the table for the 2013 Appropriations bill. And we can't let this get approved.
So, what exactly is this "Monsanto" rider?
Cloaked in "farmer-friendly" language, this Farmer Assurance Provision (Section 733) is nothing more than a ploy by the biotech industry to plant genetically-modified crops (GMOs), even when the courts have told them that they cannot do so.
Not only will this provision allow biotech companies to plant these potentially dangerous crops while legal appeals are being filed, but it will render useless the judicial process and the USDA's authority to oversee GMOs.
Furthermore, it leaves the organic industry incredibly exposed to dangerous GMO-contamination and puts the entire organic food chain in jeopardy.
Needless to say, this is a complete disaster.
Corporations do not have the right to violate the constitutional precedent of separation of powers by interfering with the process of judicial review, and our rights must be protected.
As such, we need legislators who are willing to stand up and say "No" to this dangerous rider.
Representative Peter DeFazio (D – OR) has authored a "Dear Colleague" letter opposing the biotech rider and is urging his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to join him. Please tell your Representative to support the DeFazio Dear Colleague letter opposing the biotech rider!
Time is of the essence as this bill could be passed as early as next week, so please take action as soon as you can.
1) Sign the electronic petition telling your Representative in Washington D.C. that this rider – the Farmer Assurance Provision (Section 733), the "Monsanto" rider – cannot be passed. To do so, click HERE.
2) Call your Representative in Washington D.C. to tell them how you feel and that this Farmer Assurance Provision (Section 733), the "Monsanto" rider, must be voted down. To get the name and phone number of your Representative, click HERE.
I have done #1 and #2, and it took about 3 minutes to do them both.
For the sake of protecting organic food in this country, I am asking you to do the same. Will you?
The best thing to do is to get active and spread the word about GMOs. The more people we can get who won't purchase GM-foods anymore, the better it is and the worse off it is for Monsanto. Also, you could join the Occupy Monsanto page on Facebook. They are constantly protesting against them with rallies, in-person protests, etc.
Also, my email can always be found on the Contact page. Please cut/paste the article in the email. I don't open attachments. Thanks.
I hope we get lots of support for this issue.
I'm ecstatic to report that I was able to sign the first online petition as an Australian supporting my global friends in the fight against Monsanto.
I hope that it gets a lot of support as well. And very, very cool for what you did in Australia! Awesome!!

Helen Ellis recommends 6 novels for summer reading
The author recommends works by Judy Blume, Thomas Tryon, and more

Helen Ellis, a transplanted Alabaman living in Manhattan, is the author of American Housewife, Southern Lady Code, and a new essay collection, Bring Your Baggage and Don't Pack Light. Below, she recommends six classic trashy novels for summer reading.
Wifey by Judy Blume (1978).
Are you there, adultery? It's me, a bored housewife. I don't know why Blume hasn't written more coming-of-middle-age novels. The woman knows how to describe a midnight pool party gourmet buffet and self-gratification in a motorcycle helmet on a suburban front lawn. Buy it here.
Little Sins by Meredith Rich (1985).
Boy meets girl meets girl, loses girls, gets girl. And they all live happily ever after. I don't know why Rich isn't as acclaimed as the likes of Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins. The woman knows how to describe the "pure Western hippie" chic of the 1970s and sex with your two best friends. Buy it here.
The Second Lady by Irving Wallace (1980).
What if the first lady really is a Russian spy? I don't know why Wallace's novel didn't resurface during the Melania Trump body-double rumors. The man knows what it takes for a woman to pass a wife look-alike contest (boob job, nose job, KGB job) and also how to seduce an American president. Buy it here.
Lace by Shirley Conran (1982).
Four grown-ass ladies have a reunion and are asked by a beautiful young Hollywood actress, "Which one of you b---hes is my mother?" I don't know why this line isn't as popular as "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Conran also romanticizes sex with a goldfish. Buy it here.
Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon (1973).
A Manhattan couple moves to what I have always imagined Connecticut to be: cornfields and antique shops. I don't know why country widows aren't a more standard horror trope. This book is Fatal Attraction meets Midsommar — complete with a cute dead animal and a flower-crowned sex ritual. Buy it here.
The Love Machine by Jacqueline Susann (1969).
A network TV executive sleeps around. I don't know why this isn't as popular as Susann's Valley of the Dolls. It has the happiest ending I've ever read: The guy's wealthy mother lives out her final days under the care of a doting young male companion. Buy it here.

This season has been a fascinating one for Jughead, as he's taken very big steps in embracing his place in the Southside Serpents -- down to running Penny Peabody out of town in this episode. How much further deep into this are we going to see him get? And did he really do what it looks like he did to Penny's arm?
It's very dark. He basically was cutting off her Serpent tattoo.
As for how much darker Jughead is going to go, it's like, I don't know how much darker he can go. It feels pretty, pretty dark in episode 9. It feels like that's a journey we've been building to since the finale last season, when FP said to Archie, "Please look out for Jughead, he's got a darkness within in him, I'm afraid he's gonna go there." This is sort of the fruition of that.
That brings to mind a philosophical issue that I'm curious about a lot while watching Riverdale. Obviously a big part of the fun is seeing these characters in different contexts and pushed in different directions than you'd typically see in Archie Comics, but the show has done an impressive job of retaining familiar elements so it never feels like it's not the characters. It's similar to how Batman and Superman get reinvented all the time. How much of an ongoing matter is that for you and the writing staff -- seeing how far you can push these characters, while still saying, "OK, this is still Jughead, this is stilll Betty," no matter how out there things get?
The tension of the show is pushing these characters into extreme or crime or noir situations, and seeing how they act, and how they sometimes handle them, and sometimes fall victim to them. I think that's kind of the DNA and the formula of the show. We definitely push the envelope, but we try to always do it in a way that feels like it's coming out of the story; as opposed to, we're imposing it.
When Jughead does that to Penny, it feels like that's an answer to a story that started way back in episode 2 of this season, when Penny helped Jughead get FP's sentence reduced.
Look for Kevin to play a bigger role when Riverdale Season 2 returns.
Riverdale has only gotten bigger in terms of number of characters in Season 2. We've seen classics like Midge introduced, and a lot more of Reggie. When the show is back from break, what are some characters viewers will see explored in more detail?
I think we're going to see more Josie, I think we're going to see more Cheryl, and I think we're going to see more Toni, for sure. And more Kevin. I'm trying to think if we introduce anyone new -- but I don't think we do, actually. We see those characters come into the fore, and we see some people who have left come back. But those are spoilers.
With the Black Hood matter seemingly closed, at least largely, in this episode, what are some of the big questions and events that propel the series forward when the show returns?
There will always be a crime or noir element to the show, and that will be true of season 2. I don't want to give away what that is.
The other thing I can say is, the Black Hood was a really intense, big, sprawling story, and he cast a very long shadow. One thing that I love about the second half of the season, which we're working on right now, is it kind of shifts back to Riverdale High in a way that we had first season, that we've moved a little off of. We're back in the school a lot.
Fair to say things are comparatively more grounded? Or maybe the tone is a little lighter?
I don't know -- it gets pretty dark as well. But I'd say there's a little more fun and character stuff, especially at the start of the second half of the season.
Riverdale returns with new episodes on The CW on Jan. 17.

[00:00:03.096]Hello, from University of Nebraska Lincoln.
[00:00:05.962]Each spring, I teach Women in the Quran,
[00:00:08.933]a junior level course dedicated to discussing,
[00:00:12.235]learning about, and understanding one of the most basic,
[00:00:16.472]yet one of the most misunderstood topics in Islam.
[00:00:20.152]To show you how we do it here in Nebraska,
[00:00:22.636]let's visit my classroom.
[00:00:24.912]They were able to get over their religious selves,
[00:00:28.236]Christians and Jews and Arabs and everything.
[00:00:31.284]So we have religious freedom that allowed for
[00:00:35.364]open debates, open discussions.
[00:00:38.993]In my course, Women in the Quran,
[00:00:41.742]I join my students each year
[00:00:44.201]in a new academic adventure.
[00:00:46.488]We explore some of the most challenging questions
[00:00:49.743]on women's status and gender rights in Islam.
[00:00:53.377]I would recommend this to other students because
[00:00:57.023]you learn so much more than you think you're going to.
[00:01:00.356]We delve into the history, the current,
[00:01:03.046]the present, the future.
[00:01:05.633]Our resource is the Quran,
[00:01:07.417]and our analytic investigation leaves
[00:01:09.957]no relevant question behind.
[00:01:13.927]The class is student-centered, and my philosophy of teaching
[00:01:18.330]prioritizes discussions, group work, and student engagement.
[00:01:23.289]It was also interesting.
[00:01:24.221]He mentions the possibility of peace.
[00:01:26.245]Because he offered peace.
[00:01:27.729]Whether you take the class in person
[00:01:30.017]or via distance, there are many opportunities
[00:01:32.915]to collaborate with your classmates
[00:01:35.113]and me as your professor.
[00:01:37.377]Abla is an amazing teacher.
[00:01:39.183]She just really gives us the opportunity to discuss.
[00:01:41.945]She gives us the chance to just talk about ideas.
[00:01:45.119]You'll be part of a learning community
[00:01:47.432]involving all of us collectively
[00:01:49.848]to understand what the Quran really says about women.
[00:01:53.782]And it's very easy for us to discuss
[00:01:55.460]ideas and topics that come up.
[00:01:58.254]Our investigation involves
[00:02:00.140]not only the critical analysis of the Quranic text,
[00:02:03.222]but also the history of interpreting that text,
[00:02:06.542]both in the Islamic exegetical tradition
[00:02:09.187]and in the Western academia.
[00:02:11.751]We will answer questions of gender equality in Islam,
[00:02:15.213]polygamy, women's right to prophethood,
[00:02:17.940]women's right to public authority positions,
[00:02:20.767]women's right to education and work,
[00:02:23.481]whether the Quran really commends domestic violence,
[00:02:26.713]and what does hijab really represent.
[00:02:30.163]The class is your chance to have your questions answered
[00:02:33.683]in a professional academic environment,
[00:02:36.222]free from both ideological commitments
[00:02:38.915]and media-created stereotypes.
[00:02:41.753]I love this class because you never really realize
[00:02:45.125]what you don't know about a culture until
[00:02:47.676]you're learning about it.
[00:02:48.930]There's so many different stereotypes that
[00:02:50.842]we're delving into.
[00:02:52.114]It just lets you have a different perspective
[00:02:55.185]on a culture that we've never really been able to
[00:02:57.833]look into or learn.
[00:02:59.315]The course, Women in the Quran,
[00:03:00.891]is cross-listed here at the University of Nebraska
[00:03:04.389]with these departments and programs.
[00:03:07.884]William Shakespeare once said,
[00:03:09.875]"There is no darkness but ignorance."
[00:03:12.084]Join me as we unfold a largely ignored face of the Quran,
[00:03:16.247]and uncover the true story of women in the Quran.

Seen while out doing our bioblitz at Frontenac Provincial Park this weekend. He had the canoe tied to his waist with a rope and was paddling along with flippers and a snorkel. Never once saw him take his face out of the water. Seems like a great way to spend a hot afternoon.
Absolute genius. Reminds me of a story about a friend's two dogs – a giant husky cross and a tiny poodle cross. In order to keep them both entertained and cool at the lake, they would put the little one in the canoe, and give the big one a rope tied to the bow… and he'd tow the little one around all day.

Tiské stěny jsou pískovcové skalní město a přírodní památka poblíž obce Tisé v okrese Ústí nad Labem. Jsou ojedinělé svou rozlohou i rozličností skalních útvarů. Obec Tisá se nalézá blízko hraničního přechodu Petrovice na česko-saské hranici. Dopravně jde o lehce dostupnou lokalitu, protože poblíž vede dálniční koridor Praha–Drážďany. Oběma částmi skalního města je vedena naučná stezka Tiské stěny.

Lokalizace a popis
Tiské stěny leží v nejzápadnější části Labských pískovců, v blízkosti národního parku České Švýcarsko. Nejvyšší bod Tiských stěn dosahuje nadmořské výšky 613 metrů, jednotlivé vrcholky se tyčí do výše 70 metrů. Díky výskytu zajímavých druhů ptáků (poštolky obecné, sokola stěhovavého) i jiných živočichů (plcha velkého) byly Tiské stěny navrženy jako ptačí oblast do soustavy Natura 2000.

Stejně jako celé Labské pískovce, i Tiské stěny vznikly přibližně před 85–100 miliony let v období druhohor na dně moře. Postupně se tu uložilo několik vrstev písčitých usazenin, pískovce vznikly jejich následným zpevněním. Skalní města a skalní věže jsou pak výsledkem erozní činnosti větru, Slunce, stromů a deště. Erozní činnost začala krajinu přetvářet po ústupu moře.

Vedle dalších vlivů je dále nutné připomenout sopečnou činnost, která "rozlámala původně souvislé tabule a kry", místy byly pískovce zpevněny sopečnými výlevy. Výsledkem dlouhého vývoje je skalní město s nesčetným množstvím spár, puklin, dutin, výklenků, tunelů. Zvětráváním se všechny druhy dutin pomalu rozšiřují a pískovcová hornina je zvolna odplavována.

Ve své knize Chvály Zadní země popsal Miloslav Nevrlý Tiské stěny jako "miniaturní labyrint, krásný jak skalní loutkové divadlo." Průvodce po Děčínsku doporučuje Tiské stěny jako "ráj turistů i horolezců" a dodává: "Pokud projdete oba nabízené prohlídkové okruhy, podnítíte svou fantazii při hledání různých skalních útvarů podle zajímavých názvů."

Do skalního masivu Tiských stěn patří též rozsáhlá pískovcová plošina zvaná "Nad stěnami" (623 m.), ze které jsou výhledy směrem na jihovýchod až jihozápad (na obce Libouchec a Jílové).

Historie

Až do rozkvětu pěší turistiky na konci 18. století byly Tiské stěny opředeny závojem legend, mýtů a pověstí. Místní usedlíci věřili, že (vzhledem k jejich pitoresknosti) skalní útvary jsou výtvory ďábla. Do celé oblasti se proto báli vkročit. Svůj postoj přehodnotili, když do Tiských stěn začali pronikat turisté, a na pískovcovém městu začali záhy vydělávat. Za první návštěvníky Tiských stěn tak můžeme považovat především básníky, šlechtice, malíře či vědce". Brzy začaly vznikat hostince, turistické stezky. Po jisté době se můžeme setkat i s prvními turistickými průvodci jako je Průvodce po Českém Švýcarsku (Führer durch die Böhmische Schweiz) od Ferdinanda Náhlíka z roku 1864.

O historii Tiských stěn se můžeme dočíst, že některým skalním útvarům přisoudila lidská fantazie – zejména v období romantismu v 19. století – konkrétní podoby a názvy; již v průvodci z roku 1829 byly vyobrazeny skály pojmenované Starosta a Doktor (dosud útvary velkých stěn č. 16 a 17). Zprvu těžko průchodný a orientačně náročný terén (do roku 1918 byl zakázán vstup bez místního průvodce) byl postupně upravován a turisticky zpřístupněn."

Spor o vstupné
Podle MF Dnes se nejméně od 60. let 20. století za vstup do skal platí vstupné. O zvýšení vstupného na 30 Kč pro dospělého a 15 Kč pro dítě rozhodlo zastupitelstvo obce v roce 2006 usneseními číslo 475/06 a 476/06, přičemž pro zvýšení vstupného do skal podle zápisu bylo z 8 přítomných 7 pro a 1 proti, v následujícím hlasování o zvýšení vstupného pro horolezce bylo při prvním hlasování ze 8 přítomných 4 pro a 4 proti, při opakovaném hlasování 6 pro, 1 proti a 1 se zdržel. Usnesení neobsahuje přímý odkaz na dřívější rozhodnutí o placení vstupného ani zmínku o právním důvodu k jeho vybírání, neobsahuje ani bližší podmínky placení vstupného, například vymezení zpoplatněné oblasti nebo přesnější vymezení nároků na zlevněné vstupné či bezplatný vstup. Údajná vyhláška z roku 2006 o zvýšení vstupného do Tiských stěn, o níž psalo regionální vydání MF Dnes, se na webu obce Tisá se v seznamu obecně závazných vyhlášek obce nenachází. Roční příjem obce ze vstupného činí přes 800 tisíc Kč. V letech 2007 a 2008 byl obecní příjem ze vstupného do skal vždy 1,2 milionu korun, v roce 2009 a 2010 pokaždé jeden milion Kč. Výdaje obce v souvislosti se skalami, včetně mezd pokladních, v roce 2007 činily 390 tisíc Kč, v roce 2008 jen 287 tisíc Kč a v roce 2009 541 tisíc, v roce 2010 230 tisíc – většina z příjmů ze vstupného se používá v obci, například na dotace místním sportovním organizacím.

Obec Tisá má pozemky od Lesů České republiky pronajaté za nájem kolem 70 tisíc ročně. Podle Ústeckého deníku má obec pronajatý jen úzký pruh masivu od pokladny vpravo a masiv malých Tiských stěn od pokladny vlevo, zatímco převážná část zpoplatněné naučné stezky a celé vnitřní velké Tiské stěny a v podstatě i vnitřní malé i obě pokladny leží mimo pronajaté území. Obec skály udržuje a zřídila zde naučnou stezku. Podle informace MF Dnes zde přitom není žádný záchod, nejsou zde lavičky ani zastřešená odpočívadla ani žádné podobné zázemí pro turisty. Informační tabule o skalách nevybudovala obec, ale správa CHKO Labské pískovce, starostka však tvrdí, že obec na tyto tabule přispěla a že zde rovněž zajišťuje odvoz odpadků, což ani není zahrnuto v nákladech na údržbu skal.

Ministerstvo vnitra na základě stížnosti horolezce Milana Hejkrlíka a po projednání s ministerstvem životního prostředí v roce 2010 obci v rámci metodického jednání doporučilo usnesení zrušit (podle MF Dnes vyzvalo obec ke zrušení údajné vyhlášky), protože podle jeho názoru je v rozporu s principem veřejné přístupnosti krajiny podle Zákona o ochraně přírody a krajiny a překračuje pravomoci obce. Zastupitelstvo obce vstupné zrušit odmítlo a podle MF Dnes zastává názor, že právo přístupu do krajiny je podmíněno respektováním zájmů vlastníka či nájemce pozemku a obecně závazných právních předpisů.

Ministerstvo může zahájit dozorový proces, jehož dopadem by bylo pozastavení výkonu těchto usnesení a podání správní žaloby Krajskému soudu v Ústí nad Labem. Ministerstvo vnitra rozhodlo, že vybírání vstupného je v rozporu s § 63 zákona o ochraně přírody a krajiny, a nařídilo obci do 15. března 2011 (do 60 dnů od doručení rozhodnutí) vstupné zrušit, jinak ministerstvo podá návrh na zrušení soudu. Podle iDnes.cz na stejný problém ministerstvo upozornilo i obce Teplice nad Metují a Adršpach, podle Ústeckého deníku v Teplicích nad Metují se nevybírá vstupné na základě usnesení zastupitelstva a nespadá tedy pod dozorovou působnost ministerstva vnitra, zatímco Adršpach po upozornění ministerstvem vstupné zrušil. V březnu 2011 zastupitelstvo obce Tisá zrušilo sporné "vyhlášky" (ve skutečnosti usnesení) č. 475 a 476 z roku 2006, podle kterých obec vstupné vybírala, a zároveň přijala nové usnesení, podle nějž poplatek v dosavadní výši bude od 1. dubna 2011 příspěvkem na údržbu značených cest a naučné stezky.

Okolí
V blízkosti Tiských stěn se nalézá množství dalších turisticky atraktivních lokalit, mezi jinými se jedná o vesnici Sněžník, vesnici Ostrov, rozhlednu na hoře Děčínský Sněžník (723 m n. m.), největší stolové hoře České republiky. Na vrcholu Vysokého Sněžníku najdeme hotel a kamennou vyhlídkovou věž z roku 1864, zřejmě nejkrásnější rozhlednu severních Čech. Turistický průvodce ji popisuje následovně: "Kamenná vyhlídková věž Děčínského Sněžníku vystavěná z pískovcových kvádrů je skutečnou krajinnou dominantou a umožňuje vynikající rozhled po okolních krásách Čech i Saska. Rozhledna na Děčínském Sněžníku je pohodlně přístupná po asfaltové silnici."

Pískovcové skalní útvary najdeme nejen v Tisé, ale také poblíž obcí Libouchec a Rájec. Místní skalní věže jsou vynikajícím terénem pro horolezce a jsou často vyhledávány i zahraničními turisty.

This one pot had two makers and is an example of persistent beauty, a new rendition of the Nampeyo more casual low-shouldered eagle-tail jar 2005-16.
As on Nampeyo's jar, the design on 2017-09 is enlivened by 1) the contrast between the linear tails and the curvalinear wing elements amd 2) the use of negative space to frame the painted image. Like Nampeyo, color integrates the design, but here the technique is different: the color of the background integrates by highlighting the cross-shaped back design.
While the eage-tail design is often used (see "Category List"), no rendition is more elegant that than on pot 2017-09. The top design is (almost) monochromatic, black paint on plain clay, but the vivid blushing of the background contrasts with the design, and this combination is an eye magnet. Both Hisi (Quotskuyva) Nampeyo and Steve Lucas signed the pot and I am guessing that Steve formed the vessel and Hisi did the painting.
The form of pot 2017-09 (flying-saucer shape with a slight lip) was characteristic of prehistoric Sikyatki pottery and was adopted by Nampeyo. Her rendition of this design (2005-16) is painted on a pot of the same shape but with thicker walls than 2017-09. The walls of pot 2017-09 are unusually thin and even and thus this pot is surprisingly light for its size. When tapped with a finger, the pot rings with a somewhat high pitch. A pure high-pitch resonance is evidence that a pot was kiln-fired. The sound of this pot is less certain. It may have been kiln-fired, but my best guess is that it was outdoor-fired but rings with a high pitch because of its size and thinness. As noted below, the jar was first sold about ten years before I bought it, the design scratched in shipping, and then it was repaired by either Hisi or Steve before finally being sold to me. The design is fired-on the pot and was not merely over-painted. I have not yet been able to talk with either of these artists about this pot and it is unclear how the repair was made. The pot may have been fired twice. The blushing seen on seedpot 2017-09 is generally evidence of outdoor firing, but some younger potters use a combination of slips and sometimes a blowtorch to achieve such blushing. This is a a complicated history and the production process of this pot is unclear, as is its resonance.
The blushing of the pot is vivid but also varied, like a golden sunset of clouds. Against this background the black design is painted with a very precise and light hand and is repeated four times on a matte finish. The black paint is particularly consistent and dark and thus sharply contrasts with the blushed golden background. Each of the four renditions of design contain a set of four tails. Each tail has a black J-shaped area that incorporates the tip and extends to form a black rectangle. The unpainted surface of each tail merge into a unpainted area that connects the four tails. Easily overlooked is a maroon Z-shaped line that borders the black segement of each tail and separates it from the unpainted surface. The result is an almost subliminal variation of color that enriches the eagle-tail design.
The waist of the pot is decorated with an unbroken thick black stripe. Below, the bowl is covered with a micaeous red-maroon slip. A group of younger Hopi potters were trained by Dextra Quotskuyva, including daughter Hisi Quotskuyva's companion Loren Ami, grandson Lowell Cheresposy, and nephew Steve Lucas. All of these potters at times have used the same red-maroon micaeous slip seen on 2017-09 to cover the lower half of their pots. (See 2011-23, 2011-26 and 2010-23).
Pot 2017-09 and Mark Tahbo's monochromatic jar 1992-02 are arguably the most elegant pots in this collection.
Purchased with a phone bid from Alterman Galleries and Auctioneers on August 12, 2017 (Lot #295). The pot was originally sold by Alterman's in 2010 but the paint was damaged in shipping and it was returned to the gallery. Alterman's asked either Hisi or Steve to repair the painting and this was done. The pot was subsequently offered at several different Alterman auctions before I purchased it.

Ettins, also known as two-headed giants, are dim-witted but vicious giant-kin whose two heads make them exceptionally perceptive.
Ettins are similar in appearance to hill and stone giants with tusked faces like orcs. Their skin is pinkish-brown, stained gray with filth and grime due to their terrible hygiene. Ettins stand around thirteen feet tall and weigh about 5,200 pounds. They have a life span of about 75 years.
Ettins favor cold, hilly regions. They make their homes in caves or hollows, often surrounded by pits and other obstacles. They prefer solitude, usually coming together only to breed, after which the two ettins go their separate ways. Ettins reach adult size in only one year, at which time their mother drives them out of the lair.
Despite their brutish tendencies and lack of intelligence, ettins are canny fighters who prefer to ambush their prey. Each head controls one side of their body, allowing them to fight effectively with two weapons at once without any special training. They prefer flails in combat.
Powerful ettins may gather a gang of orc or goblin followers, or even other ettins, but due to the two-headed giants' individualist nature, such arrangements tend to fall apart fairly quickly. Ettins often keep dire bears as pets. They sometimes ally with trolls to protect their hunting grounds. They have also been known to ally with flocks of harpies who find the brutish ettins too stupid to enjoy torturing and killing.
Ettins speak a pidgin of the the Giant, Goblin, and Orc languages. Native speakers of any of these languages can understand an ettin's speech with some effort.
Ettins are known to worship Kostchtchie, the demon lord of giants, frost, and revenge. Although most ettins are evil and short-sighted, the uncharacteristically introspective and morally neutral faith of the Children of Balance has found considerable traction among the two-headed giants. The faith, worshiping the dualistic gods Pharasma, Gozreh, and Nethys, appeals to the ettins' divided sense of self, promising harmony between their twin personalities.
Ettins can be found throughout Golarion, with populations inhabiting such far-flung regions as the Mana Wastes Taldor the Hold of Belkzen the River Kingdoms Kaoling and the Lands of the Linnorm Kings.
Ettins are especially common in Varisia. They were among the giants enslaved by the runelords of ancient Thassilon, and were favored slaves of the rulers of Edasseril. Some ettins have gathered under the banner of Lord Mokmurian, a powerful stone giant warlord of the Storval Plateau.

Q: Screen not turning on with wake lock in Android I have a foreground service that is waiting for a shake. When it receives that motion, it sends out a broadcast with:
Intent i = new Intent("com.company.app.shakeDetectedMessage");
sendBroadcast(i);

My main activity receives this with a broadcast receiver which implements the method:
@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        MainActivity.this.turnOnScreen();
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Screen ON", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

And my turn on screen method:
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD);
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON);
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

I have a partial wake lock with
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager)getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
    PowerManager.WakeLock mWakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "SensorRead");
    mWakeLock.acquire();

declared in the service
Yet, when I turn my screen off and shake, the screen doesn't turn on! I verified that every method is working with logs. The onReceive is working even when the screen is off. The broadcast is working. Just the screen won't turn on!

A: call the acquire method of WakeLocker class
Class :
public abstract class WakeLocker {
    private static PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock;

    public static void acquire(Context context) {
        if (wakeLock != null) wakeLock.release();

        PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
        wakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK |
        PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP |
        PowerManager.ON_AFTER_RELEASE, "WakeLock");
        wakeLock.acquire();
    }

    public static void release() {
        if (wakeLock != null) wakeLock.release(); wakeLock = null;
    }
}

Permission Required:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

A: This is working for me
    PowerManager powerManager = getService(this, POWER_SERVICE);
    mScreenLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(
            PowerManager.SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK |
            PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP, "Lock");
    mScreenLock.acquire();

Q: Bubble Sort Example This program is suppose to take the given integers and sort it in a ascending order. I wanted to see if the program that was given actually sorted the given integers in ascending order, but instead kept it in the original order. What's wrong with the logic of this example?
//Fig. 6.15: fig06_15.c
//Sorting an array's value in ascending order.
#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 10

// function main begins program execution
int main()
{
// initialize a
int a[ SIZE ] = { 2, 6, 4, 8, 10, 12, 89, 68, 45, 37};
int pass; // passes counter
size_t i; // comparisons counter
int hold; // temporary-location used to swap array elements

puts("Data items in original order");

//output original array
for( i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i) {
printf("%4d", a[ i ]);
}// end for

//bubble sort
//loop to control number of passes
for( pass = 1; pass < SIZE; ++pass ) {

//loop to control number of comparisons per pass
for( i = 0; i & SIZE - 1; ++i){

    //compare adjacent elements and swap them if first
    //element is greater than second element
    if ( a[ i ] > a[ i + 1 ] ){

        hold = a[ i ];
        a[ i ] = a[ i + 1 ];
        a[ i + 1 ] = hold;
    }//end if
}//end inner for
}//end outer for

puts("\nData items in ascending order");

//output sorted array
for( i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i ) {
printf( "%4d", a[ i ] );
}//end for

puts("");
}//end main

A: There is a very small error in your code:
for( i = 0; i & SIZE - 1; ++i){

should have been:
for( i = 0; i < SIZE - 1; ++i){

Here's the link to the code with the minor edit: http://ideone.com/YZQPHY

This is so raw materials and uniform stocks can be reviewed, with replenishment orders stopped or minimised. This is very IMPORTANT so we can minimise wastage and keep future costs down. Stock ordering and raw materials have long lead times and raw materials are held in stock specifically for your school to minimise delivery times.
The committee is be formed by parents, teachers, the school board and students.
Research supply possibilities and ideas for the uniform by consulting with us. We give you expert advice on design, fabrics and costs. We also advise you of any pre-commitment with fabrics and stock on the existing uniform which may prolong the introduction of a new uniform. Dependant upon raw material and stocks, a nominal period of 18 months to 3 years notice may be required. Quantities of raw material are calculated to ascertain an accurate time frame. This allows stocks to be sold down and all parties to consult on all options. In some cases, this time frame may be reduced.
This is achieved through meetings and surveys. In our experience, once surveys or meetings are held about uniforms, sales of any existing uniforms cease. Hence the importance of Step one. Realistic notice should be given to the supplier or stockist to minimise existing stock and wastage. They also need time to implement the new stock. A "Phase in Phase out" works at the school, but actually has no effect on selling down old stocks. Please keep the announcement of a new uniform from the general community until all parties involved can agree on the new uniform launch date.
4. Establish styles and colours.
5. Ask us for draft concepts of your new uniform.
6. Once you and the committee are satisfied you have the perfect uniform, we will produce a sample for final approval.
Once the sample is approved and signed by the person in charge, orders are placed and your new uniforms are on their way!

It's Donald Trump's GOP after Ted Cruz drops out
In a result that once seemed unthinkable to many Republicans, Donald Trump became the likely GOP nominee Tuesday as top rival Ted Cruz bowed out.
Donald Trump greets supporters after giving a victory speech, following his win in Indiana's primary, May 3, 2016.
May 4, 2016, 3:19 AM UTC / Updated May 4, 2016, 3:42 AM UTC
By Benjy Sarlin
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — In a result that once seemed unthinkable to many Republicans, Donald Trump became the likely GOP nominee on Tuesday as top rival Sen. Ted Cruz withdrew from the race.
"We are going to win again and we are going to win again bigly," a confident Trump declared from Trump Tower in New York on Tuesday night.
Trump: Cruz 'is one hell of a competitor'
Trump cut a violent swath through a 17-person GOP field while spreading outrageous fringe conspiracy theories about Muslims, Mexicans, and African-Americans, threatening violence against protesters, and leveling misogynist attacks against his female critics. He will now represent the party of Abraham Lincoln in the general election despite little connection to any leg of the party's traditional trio of social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, and national security conservatives. Implausibly, he will now lead all three groups against Hillary Clinton.
Trump won by discovering a primal desire among GOP voters for a swaggering populist who would buck orthodoxy on trade, protect entitlements, build a border wall, deport all undocumented immigrants, and implement an "America First" foreign policy that demanded allies pay for U.S. protection or go it alone. Millions of supporters, distrustful of their party's leaders, rallied behind him as a unique figure whose personal fortune enabled him to spurn donors and say what he wanted with impunity.
He was as ruthless in attacking his Republican opponents as anyone else. With a nod toward party unity, however, he surreally pivoted Tuesday from attacking Cruz, who he had nicknamed "Lyin' Ted," to calling him a "tough, smart guy" and "one hell of a competitor" with an "amazing future."
RELATED: Trump wins Indiana primary, setting path for GOP nod
Trump graciously acknowledged Cruz's "whole beautiful family," which presumably included the wife whose looks he had mocked on Twitter and the father who he had insinuated just hours earlier was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Trump's speech came shortly after Cruz, halfway across the state, told dejected supporters that he was ending his campaign.
"From the beginning, I've said that I would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory," Cruz said. "Tonight, I'm sorry to say, it appears that path has been foreclosed."
Cruz made no mention of the opponent who he had told Americans that same morning was "utterly amoral," a "pathological liar," a "bully" and a "narcissist" after Trump's attack on his father. Instead, Cruz offered a flowery tribute to Ronald Reagan and conservatism that sounded like a stump speech for a future campaign.
In meekly ceding the race to Trump on Tuesday, Cruz joined a growing group of rivals who had denounced the front-runner's candidacy in apocalyptic terms, only to soften their opposition as the general election neared. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called Trump "an unserious, unstable, narcissistic egomaniac" last September. He said on Tuesday he would back Trump. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry called him a "cancer on conservatism" in a speech last July. He said this week he planned to support him as well.
RELATED: Donald Trump is obsessed with race-baiting conspiracy theories
Cruz's supporters weren't all so ready to forget, however. Some chanted "Never Trump!" as images of the near-presumptive nominee flashed on the screen. An exit poll showed 43 percent of Republican voters on Tuesday were "concerned" or "scared" about a Trump presidency rather than "excited" or "optimistic."
"We have lost our country," a female Cruz volunteer, crying with rage, said after he finished his speech. "We're a country of fools who believe liars and entertainers."
"The Republican party has transmogrified into something it was never supposed to be," 60-year-old Cruz supporter William Gebby said.
Gebby had already made up his mind on what to do in the general election if Trump secured the nomination: not vote. Several others in the room said they were grappling with what to do come November.
The national party, however, was moving on. Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus declared Trump the "presumptive nominee" on Tuesday, ignoring Ohio Gov. John Kasich's continued presence, and urged voters to unite against Hillary Clinton.
.@realDonaldTrump will be presumptive @GOP nominee, we all need to unite and focus on defeating @HillaryClinton #NeverClinton
— Reince Priebus (@Reince) May 4, 2016
Senior Trump aides told NBC News that they had begun vetting potential vice presidential candidates, a move they had resisted until they were sure of victory.
Cruz's withdrawal left the #NeverTrump movement, a loose alliance of conservative activists committed to stopping his candidacy, grasping for a way forward. If recent days are any indication, Republicans will face significant pressure to unite behind Trump, or at least tone down their criticism. The movement's leading elected official, Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, reiterated on Twitter that he would not vote for Trump in the general election.
Trump's complete contempt for the usual rules governing politics improbably put him on the verge of accepting the party's nomination. But the general election is another story, and there are serious questions about whether Trump will be able to repeat his gravity-defying act a second time.
RELATED: The strange journey of Donald Trump's campaign
The same unfiltered resentment that made him a hero to his base horrified large portions of the country outside of it. Polls show he'd be the most unpopular major party nominee in history. An April NBC/WSJ survey found 65 percent of Americans had a negative view of him, versus just 24 percent who viewed him positively. He's especially disliked among women, Latinos, and young voters, all groups that were critical to President Obama's victories in 2008 and 2012. Polls have shown Clinton competitive in some ordinarily deep red states, including Utah and Mississippi.
Trump faces in Clinton a candidate with her own vulnerabilities, but also one who is likely to significantly out raise his campaign, and who will be able to attack him from the left in ways Cruz never could.
The path to 'President Trump'
In a preview of the general election, Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta questioned Trump's fitness for office in non-partisan terms, indicating an interest in courting Republican-leaning voters frightened by his campaign.
"Fundamentally, our next president will need to do two things: keep our nation safe in a dangerous world and help working families get ahead here at home," Podesta said in a statement. "Donald Trump is not prepared to do either. Throughout this campaign, Donald Trump has demonstrated that he's too divisive and lacks the temperament to lead our nation and the free world. With so much at stake, Donald Trump is simply too big of a risk."
Trump pivoted to the general election as well, promising to take on Clinton over her husband's signature NAFTA trade deal, which he has accused of pushing manufacturing jobs out of the country.
"We're going after Hillary Clinton," Trump said. "She will not be a great president. She will not be a good president. She will be a poor president. She doesn't understand trade."
Whether Trump succeeds or not remains to be seen, but the country and his party have already been changed by his campaign. In the next six months, we'll learn how deep the rabbit hole goes.
