GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT Shares New Single & Video from Upcoming Live Studio Album "The Beginning Of The End"!
"The Beginning Of The End" out July 15, 2022 via Napalm Records
With 20 years and a strong collection of masterful, acclaimed albums to their name, Irish post-rock maestros GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT come full circle with a live studio epos, The Beginning Of The End, due out July 15, 2022 via Napalm Records. Recorded at Windmill Lane Recording Studio in Dublin, Ireland on October 3, 2021, the anniversary album features modern transformations of all of the songs from their debut album, 2002's The End Of The Beginning, encompassing each track's evolutionary changes throughout the band's years of live performances while allowing the original melodies and songwriting to shine through.
Following previously released first single "From Dust to the Beyond", today GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT have shared a brand new music video for "Coda". To this day, the song is lauded as one of the highlights on GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT's 2002 debut album. Featuring one of the best choruses the Irish space rock band has ever created, its compelling drums and soaring, spacey mood represent their songwriting qualities throughout.
Bassist Niels Kinsella reveals:
"Coda was written late in December 2002, the first draft of "The End of the Beginning" had already been released. In 2003 we added "Point Pleasant" (inspired by the Mothman Prophecies) and Coda (inspired by the beauty of the cosmos) to the album."
"We had some challenges to overcome to perform "Coda" live – the original version was primarily programmed and had large parts that were reversed which was a challenge to recreate in a live performance. We also took the opportunity to expand on the song writing with more variation in the melody."
GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT's upcoming release provides a sonic snapshot of the evolution of the Irish post-rock band over two decades. Stage classics such as "From Dust to the Beyond", "Coda or "Route 666″ can be heard in a new light, with clear, transformative variations originally heard during the band's captivating live performances now incorporated. Plus, in addition to these live expansions, technical advances have been applied to each track. Originally limited to just a keyboard sequencer and an Akai S3000 sampler on The End Of The Beginning, 20 years later on The Beginning Of The End, the band seizes the opportunity to breathe new life into these live versions, allowing them to bring more feeling, experience, equipment and expression to the music and songs.
Niels adds:
"When we recorded the "The End of the Beginning" we only had limited equipment; we couldn't even record full live performances. The Beginning of the End gave us the opportunity to perform the whole album live and allowed us to bring more feeling and expression to the music and songs. We're very excited to share this with everyone."
The release of The Beginning Of The End could not be more relevant than in these current dark times. War themes are strikingly evident on songs such as the aforementioned "From Dust to the Beyond", as well as album title track "The End of the Beginning" – named after a quote credited to Prime Minister Winston Churchill during the WWII era. Influenced by the chaos and futility of war, these themes are also reflected on the album's cover, created by the band in collaboration with returning artist David Rooney. Featuring a war-torn concert hall and a piano, the art is a defiant message reflecting that the power of music transcends war and time.
Torsten Kinsella adds:
"From Dust to the Beyond was written in 2002, inspired by the futile wars of the past and how we are doomed to repeat our mistakes and ironically we are now seeing the same unfold once again."

Graphing in two dimensions is a simple extension of the graphing that you do in one dimension, i.e. on a number line. To work in two dimensions, we'll need two number lines that cross at right angles. So we can tell them apart, we'll call the horizontal one the x-axis and the vertical one the y-axis. Now we can specify the location of a point, called its coordinates, by counting the number of units that we have to go over and the number of units we have to go up to get to the point.
If you look at the graph to the right, the coordinates of point A, are (4, 6) because you have to go four units over and 6 units up to get to it. Negative values work exactly the same in two dimensions as they did on a number line. Point B is located at coordinates (-6, -7) because you have to go six units to the left and 7 units down to get to it.
Notice that the two axes create four equal sections. To make the four parts, called quadrants, easier to talk about, each one is given a number like the ones in the diagram on the right.

Vulnerable woman in house from hell being 'destroyed by RATS'
Ceiling collapses into kitchen as rats overrun property
Alan Weston
A vulnerable woman who suffers from lung disease and bi-polar depression said her condition was being worsened by the appalling conditions she was living in.
Julie Brady, 47, lives at the Riverside housing association-owned property in Kensington with her son Aaron.
The ceiling has partially collapsed onto the kitchen below, and the family also claim that rats are multiplying both inside and outside the house.
Julie's son Aaron, 27, said he was concerned for his mum's health.

Debris in the back kitchen following the roof collapse
He said: "She has COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and bi-polar depression, and this is making matters worse.
"It began with a crack in the ceiling of the back kitchen extension. With the recent heavy rainfall, it was like a waterfall in there. I told Riverside they needed to come out to sort this.
"Then the ceiling collapsed in the middle of the night.
Terrified young woman and children forced to leave rat-infested home
Julie Brady said that rats have dug up this mess under the kitchen step. (Pic Andrew Teebay).
"There are rats living in the cavities in the extension and also burrowing their way in underneath the door frame.
"It stinks like there's a dead body in the kitchen and I can hear the rats scratching in the ceiling.
"It's just not a safe condition for my mum to be living in. She has a phobia of rats and is petrified."
Adele Livesey, Riverside's head of asset management for Liverpool City Region, said: "The roof leak was first reported to us on September 20, and we were arranging to carry out the repair as soon as the recent spell of bad weather had improved.
"Mr Brady contacted us on Monday to advise that part of the ceiling in the extension of his home had collapsed and we therefore attended the property to assess the extent of the damage, and arrange for the repair work to be carried out as a matter of urgency.

"Mr Brady has confirmed that he is happy with our response to this situation and that we have promised to confirm the date of the repair works today.

"Dealing with vermin requires specialist assistance, which we do not provide. Mr Brady has advised us that he has contacted pest control at Liverpool City Council who have treated the cavities where the customer says the rats are. There is a small hole in part of the wall which we will be repairing."

Michigan Morels index - Can it be TOO wet for morels??
I checked out a new area today. I wasn't quite sure how the area would be, but it turned out to be rather wet. There was quite a bit of standing water in about 50% of the area. The drier areas were a little soft to walk on. There were a good number of elms in the area and a few dead ones too. I searched for about 1 1/2 hours with no luck.
So, is it possible that this area is too wet? Thanks for the help.
Standing water has never been good for me. Moist areas, but not standing water.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this??
Swampy areas are not usually good for the white/yellow/grey, even though there are often trees in those areas that make you want to take a look. I have had some modest finds in slightly elevated areas nearby. I tend to stick to higher ground for ease of hunting, though.
I have never had any luck in wet area. Down here in Southern Michigan I have luck on east and north slopes with dead elms that have not been dead a long time.
Up North I find them on east and south slopes. Most of the mushrooms (whites) I find are very close to mature hardwoods (beech and maple).
Not the ideal place to be looking for morels. Several years ago i came arround a bend edging a swamp. I spotted a nice dead elm at th edge of the swamp about 50 yds away. The black muck at the swamps edge was to wet to walk on. Getting on some higher ground,working my way towards that elm the ground at the tree was about a foot higher and dryer. Lots of skunk cabbage,lifting some of the leaves with my walking stick uncovering big yellows. got about 20 from under that tree.
I won't pass up an elm at the edge of a swamp. Not all elms will produce,you'll never know.
I have never had very good luck in super wet area's! One time i was going through a really wet area and seen some elms ahead and headed towards them and it was on a mound of dirt about two feet higher and there was a half dozen. you never know!!!

Lvl 77 - Healer. Need to build up the habit of logging in every day.
Very helpful if this type of gamification helps you with your habits. Highly recommended as it has greatly improved my productivity. I rely on it a lot to motivate me to get things done. The social aspect of the 'game' is a big factor for me to keep coming back.
Lvl 35. Caught: 398. Seen: 440.
Chp 2-2. Restarted because I couldn't remember how to fight and just needed a fresh start.
20hrs or so into Chapter 1. Not as far as my partner.
Hard to get any gaming done with my firstborn exhausting me extensively.
Went through my entire collection to see what I have missed adding. Will be more onto it this time.
Finally got around to updating this again.
Actually now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I exclusively would grind to level from about 20 onward in vanilla.. Hillsbrad beasts -> Hillsbrad farmers -> Emerald whelps in swamp of sorrows/Shimmering flats/Tanaris bandits -> Felwood Furbolgs -> Winterspring Furbolgs is how I leveled everyone, I think.
Oooh nice job coordinating the color in the picture with your page! I need to create a new theme at some point.
This has turned into more of a record for my collection than a website to try to down my backlog. I am endeavouring to get through my collection and play the games but I'm having more fun collecting than playing currently.
I love my RPGs, especially JRPGs. If you know of any that aren't already on my list or wishlist, please let me know! Completely in love with the genre.
As for the completed/beaten games, I have different definitions than the site. A beaten game is a game that I have finished (watched the credits roll) and intend on doing a Master Run to get it 100% complete. A completed game is a game that I have finished and don't feel the need to play again.
Cuphead - Bought to re-experience a game I really enjoyed. Last boss of Island 1, did my Run and Gun P ranks.
Doom - Welcome to hell on Mars!
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past - Oh, legendary hero? Awesome.
Tales of Berseria - BIRDS!
Pokemon Uranium - Power Plant Epsilon.
Xenogears - I'm finally at the infamous disc 2. Bring on the talking chairs.


We love a small menu because it means it is quite possible to taste everything on the menu. Made for sharing, the chef Vusi Ndlovu, who's worked with David Higgs and Luke Dale-Roberts (when the The Pot Luck Club popped in Johannesburg up at the Marabi Club) has put together a tasting offering that takes inspiration from the illegal shebeens of the 1920s and 30s. The grilled cabbage with mussel powder, apples and miso mayo, is light and tasty, the KFQ (deep-fried quail, kimchi slaw, Japanese mayo and salsa verde or chimichurri makes you want it all for yourself and you could easily and quickly inhale the crispy, flavoursome flamiche – a country-style pizza with confit onions, pickled onions, comte cheese cream and horseradish – all by yourself. But then you wouldn't have space for the Sunday roast, which consists of slices of beef rib eye served with bay-leaf-poached potatoes and green beans. And for dessert, the roasted peaches and yoghurt parfait with olive oil is a light and lovely ending to the meal.
Staff is attentive but could do with a little more confidence when recommending the dishes.
Housed in the basement of British-Ghanaian architect David Adjaye's Hallmark House and hotel, this is the closest you'll come to an old-skool jazz spot that harks back to the Harlem's jazz clubs. As soon as you walk in, one of the hosts are happy to take you on a tour of the establishment, which boasts a private dining room for private functions of up to about 20 people at least R1000 per head to secure the entire space as well as a whisky and cigar room.
A resident band plays jazz every night – you'll need to book and pay a non-refundable R50 per head to secure your seat at the table. Think of it as a tip for the band.
There's also valet parking so no need to worry about the safety of your car.
Plus you can order pizzas if you're there til very late.
An absolutely unforgettable experience. From the minute you pull up, you're transported back in time... It's obvious how much passion and effort was put into this restaraunt, and everything about it is sublime.
Really one of the hidden wonders of Joburg. Cool jazz, stunning cocktails and astonishing cuisine. A must-do whilst in joburg.
Marabi Club has it's own language of embracing you as their guest. The mood of the restaurant is consistent with their live band, and I believe the oh-so energetic waiters play a big role in the energy of the place. You tend to wiggle your hips while eating, like a little child, out of the excitement of the music, the great waiters dancing around you while gracefully serving your table and the smiles from the live band. While the waiters tend to have fun with you, they are noteworthy when attending to you, exceptional when presenting to you and as well as friendly and respectable. Have I mentioned how great it is for the Chef, Vusi, and the Manager to pop by your table to find out how your food was, "awesome". The food, OMG, I believe is the now generation term of expressing a certain type of amazement. The flavours of the food is meticulously thought of, from the starters, mains, down to the desert. The presentation of the food is not only perfect and appetizing but dainty too. They have a variety of meals to choose from and I am happy and proud to say, I had the pleasure of tasting everything on their menu in one night between myself and 4 friends, yes, including desert. It was an unforgettable experience, my palate was upgraded and schooled that night. My favourite meal, Butter poached lobster , Sunday roast and for desert, pushing passion. I do not mind eating at Marabi, over and over and over again. The food is smooth, the integration of the different flavours is done so well, the colours of the food just compliment each other making it only easy for the presentation. I do not remember ever seeing any access oil on any plate that was served to us, access fat on any meat related dish, not a lot of fried foods, which was superb. Chef Vusi knows exactly what he is doing in that kitchen. Marabi Club is a phenomenal place to eat at, a perfect night out. I would recommend it to any locals and internationals and I am confident enough to get an excellent review myself on the recommendation. I am still dancing around for their valet services, I still cannot get over it.

All He Need Is Love
English Short Story published on January 31, 2019 by Ayushi Tiwari
Excerpt: Heaven had a desire to saw Ellie at least once. He wanted to confess his love to her, but only after meeting her by face to face.
Heaven and Ellie were chatting on Facebook for three years. Now they were in love with each other. Heaven shared his so many pictures with Ellie while she did not share any picture with him.
So Heaven had a desire to saw Ellie at least once. He wanted to confess his love to her, but only after meeting her by face to face. But whenever Heaven talked about their meeting, Ellie changed the topic. So, he decided to talk to her about this concern. Because now he was fed up with Ellie's behaviour.
It was Saturday night and Heaven was at his terrace. He was chatting with Ellie.
Heaven: I do not understand that why are you doing this. Can't you understand? I want to meet you because I want to confess my feelings. You just tell me that whether you want to meet me or not?
Ellie: Of course I want to meet you. But at this time I cannot meet you. please try to understand it.
Heaven: No. Now I do not want to understand anything. You have to come otherwise I will stop talking to you.
Heaven was thinking that after reading this, Ellie would be afraid and then definitely she would come to meet him.
Then Ellie replied to him, Ellie: If that's the case. Ok then.
After reading this Heaven got happy. He thought that Ellie was ready to come and meet him.
But unfortunately, Ellie gave another reply.
Ellie: If you do not want to talk to me then it's ok.Goodbye.
Heaven was shocked. He was not expected this from Ellie.
Heaven: Are you mad. You said that you want to meet me. I also want to meet you. What is your problem then? Now I am feeling like I am failed in my love and I am also failed to understand you.
Heaven was very disappointed. He was feeling like he lost his love. He was controlling his tears.
Then Ellie replied to him again.
Ellie: Now I cannot hurt you more than this. I will come tomorrow in the same place as you planned for us at 10 am. Then I will tell you my problem.
After reading this a sudden smile has come on Heaven's face. He got so happy. Even he could not believe that all this was really true or he was just dreaming.
On tomorrow after making himself presentable Heaven went to that place. He arrived before time. He was so tensed. He was looking at the time again and again. After waiting for a long time he saw that Alina was coming from the front of him she was a maid in Heaven's house. Alina was a young girl, nearly twenty-one years old just like as Heaven. Her hairs were brown and curly. Her cheeks were white, her big and beautiful eyes were very attractive. She was an innocent and cute tiny girl.
Heaven was wondering that what Alina was doing there. Alina came nearer to Heaven. After looking at Heaven for a while, Alina said, "This was my reason for which I did not want to meet you."
Heaven did not understand anything for a while.
After starring Heaven for a few second Alina said, "I am your Elie."
Alina and Elie were the same girls. Heaven lost his all senses. He could not believe that it all was true.
He remained silent for a while then he asked Ellie that 'How it is possible?'
Ellie said, "I knew everything from the beginning itself. But I feared that you would leave me alone when you would know the truth as I am just a simple maid in your house. I did not want to break your any dream as I can never hurt you."
After listening this Heaven's eyes were full of tears.
Then with a heavy pain in his tone, he said, "Ellie are you really think that these things are matters for me." He paused for a second then he continued.."No. Not at all. The thing which only matters for me is that how much we love each other. And nothing else is important for me. How could you think that? I thought that we know each other very well, but now I think I was wrong. You said you can never hurt me but the truth is that You hurt me a lot."
Tears were continuously rolling down on Alina's cheeks. Heaven's eyes were also full of tears. They both stared each other, then Heaven hugged Alina.

Nissan Is Optimistic About Fca Partnership, But Wants The Right Terms

Mazda Cx-30 'just Right' Crossover Will Head From Geneva Into Production
As more and more customers move into the crossover segment, the less the segment is one-size-fits-all, or even three-sizes-fit-all. As such, Mazda has taken the opportunity at the Geneva Motor Show to offer a new, "just right" crossover to its lineup. The 2019 Mazda CX-30, as it's called, slots between the diminutive CX-3 and the compact CX-5 crossovers.
The CX-30 shares the "Kodo" (meaning "soul of motion") design language Mazda does so well, and the execution here is excellent, too. We love the long hood and simple but elegant curves, the way the light reflects off the sides in dramatic waves. Its no surprise that Mazda chose its Soul Red Crystal to show off the new model.

Still Not The Right Time To Launch Tekken X Street Fighter
We have been hearing about Bandai Namco's Tekken X Street Fighter game for years, and by now many have probably assumed that it has been cancelled. Back in 2015, the developers assured that this was not the case, although in 2016 it was revealed that the game is no longer in active development.
This means that while it hasn't been cancelled outright, it isn't actively being worked on either. For those wondering about the status of the game, the game's director Katsuhiro Harada revealed the reasons why they still have not gone ahead and launched it, and it basically is all about the timing.

Students display smiles amid pandemic protection
Developed by a pair of Western students, Smile Masks are partly transparent face coverings that allow the wearer to speak, emote and make themselves understood by people who need to both see and hear you.
Topic Campus & Community Student Life
By Debora Van Brenk
Don't let a face covering keep you from expressing yourself.
Taylor Bardell and Matthew Urichuk, both in combined Masters/PhD programs in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, conceived of Smile Masks soon after the pandemic started.
"We were going grocery shopping early on in the quarantine and we found it pretty difficult to understand each other through our masks," Urichuk said.
That led them to wonder how lip-readers and people with hearing loss might be managing.
"We started playing around with prototypes and came up with this," Bardell said.
The non-medical masks look like conventional masks, except for the mouth area, which has transparent 'vinyl fabric' where cloth would ordinarily be.
While a lot of people do a double-take upon seeing the pair, response has been overwhelmingly positive. "People are saying, 'I really miss seeing people's smiles.' I was at a store and somebody said, 'That's so great. I'm hearing impaired and I can tell what you're saying,' " Bardell said.
Since then, they have set to work making more masks – more than 130 so far, in two sizes – which they give away when someone sends a request to their email account, smilemasksproject@gmail.com, or Facebook page. Recipients so far have included families, teachers, physicians and clinicians.
They have also produced a YouTube tutorial showing people how to make masks of their own.
Bardell and Urichuk don't charge for the masks or for shipping but they have set up a GoFundMe account for donations to offset the cost. "We really didn't want anyone's financial situation to affect their ability to get one," Bardell said.
It has become something of a cottage industry, with two sewing machines on the go most evenings.
"First we took over the kitchen table and there was stuff everywhere," Bardell said. "Now, we've expanded to a couple of folding tables, with pieces in various stages of assembly."
That's all in addition to their studies. "We research during the day and make masks at night. The outpouring of support has been incredible," Urichuk said.

This information is intended to help residential taxpayers understand how assessed values are determined. It explains the steps that you, as a single-family residential or condominium owner, may take if you are not sure that your assessment is fair or accurate. The information can help you begin to correct any problems you believe may exist. It also contains summary information about eligibility for property tax relief.
The Board of Assessors consists of three members, each appointed for a three-year term. They are responsible for carrying out the state's mandate to establish the fair market value of each property for tax purposes. The Board must follow state guidelines and must obtain state certification of the town-wide valuation process. The Assessors' Office, consisting of Ginny N. Thompson, MAA, Principal Assessor and Liz Dukes, Administrative Assistant assists the Board in its mission. The personnel in the Assessors' Office are town employees, The assessors are not responsible for mailing the property tax bills, or collecting the taxes; that is the responsibility of the town tax collector, Jennifer Yaskell, and is carried out after Town Meeting establishes the annual budget.
Determining the value of every property is called valuation. The assessors are required to value property at market value. Each property assessed yearly based on market values and inspected at least once every ten years in accordance with Massachusetts's law. The Board is authorized to make interim year adjustments to bring the values within the requirements outlined in the "Guidelines to a Minimum Reassessment Program". The next town-wide revaluation in Manchester will be for FY 2021. The assessment records can be accessed at the Assessors' Office or on the Assessors website. The re-certifications are now every 5 years (used to be 3).
The Assessors' Office assists the Board with property inspections, record maintenance, and data analysis.
The Assessors' office maintains the database that contains all the information for all properties in town. These records are updated whenever there is a revaluation, property inspection, abatement, or exemption, sale of property, or when a building permit is issued.
As always, if you have any questions, please call the Assessors' Office.

I ran across this nice dedication to Srila Prabhupada while I was visiting one of my favorite web sites Causelessmercy. This site has most of Srila Prabhupada's pre 1978 books available in addition to music, lectures/conversations, tape transcriptions, links, etc., and represents a great deal of devoted work.

"We think that we have met Your Goodness by the will of providence, just so that we may accept you as captain of the ship for those who desire to cross the difficult ocean of Kali, which deteriorates all the good qualities of a human being." (Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.22)
On the order of his spiritual master, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda began translating and writing Vedic literature in the English language to bring the message of Lord Kṛṣṇa to the Western countries. After decades of struggle in India, he came to the West and started the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Later on he created the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, to publish his writings and recordings of his lectures, conversations, etc. The VedaBase has been created so that this great treasurehouse of knowledge may be preserved and propagated and so that all may take advantage of the wisdom and association of the pure devotee of Lord Krishna.

The Vaisnavas die to live, Lord Krsna, Sept 18 1965, Srila Prabhupada, vausnava
Today is the Disappearance day of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Srila Prabhupada had this to say about the disappearance of Vaisnavas:
"As Lord Krsna's appearance and disappearance are all spiritual, transcendental, they are not ordinary things, similarly, Lord Krsna's devotee, His representative, who is sent to this material world for preaching the glories of Lord Krsna, their appearance and disappearance is also like Krsna's. Therefore, according to Vaisnava principles, the appearance and disappearance of Vaisnava is considered all-auspicious."
Excerpted from Back to Godhead Magazine Vol. 13, 1-2, 1978
Around the turn of the century, the great spiritual master Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura made this prediction:
"Soon there will appear a personality who will preach the holy name of Hari [Lord Krsna] all over the world."
As we have witnessed for the past twelve years, that personality was His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Throughout his life, Srila Prabhupada prepared himself for his great mission, and from his arrival in America on September 18, 1965, to his passing on November 14, 1977—through some seventy books and thousands of letters, interviews, and lectures-he gave the world the holy names of Krsna and the Vedic science of self-realization.
Bhaktivinoda Thakura also wrote a short stanza about the influence that a Vaisnava (a pure devotee of the Lord) carries in this world even after his passing:
"He reasons ill who tells that Vaisnavas die When thou art living still in sound! The Vaisnavas die to live, and living try To spread the holy name around!"
So, while it is natural for us to be sorrowful that Srila Prabhupada has passed away, we can know for sure that he will never pass away, for he is "living still in sound." As he himself said, "I will never die. I will live forever in my books." In the days and years to come, may everyone come to remember Srila Prabhupada in the same way that he remembered his spiritual master:
"He lives forever by his divine instructions, and the follower lives with him."

Dedication to
We think that we have met Your Goodness by the will of providence, just so that we may accept you as captain of the ship for those who desire to cross the difficult ocean of Kali, which deteriorates all the good qualities of a human being." (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.1.22)
His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda appeared in this world in 1896 in Calcutta, India. He first met his spiritual master, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī, in Calcutta in 1922. Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī, a prominent religious scholar and the founder of sixty-four Gauḍīya Maṭhas (Vedic institutes), liked this educated young man and convinced him to dedicate his life to teaching Vedic knowledge. Śrīla Prabhupāda became his student, and eleven years later (1933) at Allahabad he became his formally initiated disciple.
At their first meeting, in 1922, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura requested Śrīla Prabhupāda to broadcast Vedic knowledge through the English language. In the years that followed, Śrīla Prabhupāda wrote a commentary on the Bhagavad-gītā, assisted the Gauḍīya Maṭha in its work and, in 1944, started Back to Godhead, an English fortnightly magazine. Maintaining the publication was a struggle. Single-handedly, Śrīla Prabhupāda edited it, typed the manuscripts, checked the galley proofs, and even distributed the individual copies. Once begun, the magazine never stopped; it is now being continued by his disciples in the West and is published in over thirty languages.

'Dallas Buyers Club' Producer Truth Entertainment Readies New Project 'The Nobistor Affair'

Truth Entertainment
EXCLUSIVE: Truth Entertainment, one of the production companies behind the Matthew McConaughey-starring Dallas Buyers Club, is readying its next project The Nobistor Affair. The film is based upon the epic and captivating first-hand account of Vietnam veteran Tim Carmody, who along with seven others was recruited by the U.S. government for a top-secret mission to aid in the coup d'état of the Ghana government that ultimately went horribly wrong.
The Nobistor Affair is written by David Marconi (Enemy Of The State). Truth Entertainment is presenting under its banner in partnership with NoEgo Films. Truth's Joe Newcomb, NoEgo's Rick Van Meter and Jay Thames will serve as producers. Principal photography is scheduled to start in fourth-quarter of 2016 with an anticipated release in fall 2017. Van Meter secured and developed the story with Carmody's guidance after months of meeting at his bar, Doherty's No-Mercy Saloon.
Jennifer Garner's 'Tribes Of Palos Verdes' Adds Stephen Moyer & More
"When I read the script I knew it was a project that Truth had to be a part of, but I really wanted to be involved when I heard Tim's story first hand," Newcomb told Deadline. "Hearing the unbelievable hardship and his determination to live, I knew, just like with Dallas Buyers Club, that the story was transcendent, entertaining and it would be as powerful cinematically as it was emotionally. I can't wait to put it in the hands of the most passionate talent in show business."
In 1986, Carmody, a Vietnam veteran and co-founder of the Rhodesia Veterans Association, was recruited by the U.S. government for a top-secret mission to deliver six tons of weapons to the pro-U.S. rebels near Ghana, in an attempt to overthrow the government. While en route, their mission was compromised and aborted. Awaiting extraction in Brazil, their boat, The Nobistor, was overtaken by the ruthless Policia of Brazil. Ultimately, Carmody and his team were sent to one of the world's most dangerous prisons. With the U.S. government and CIA abandoning them, their only mission now was survival. The Nobistor Affair is a chapter in American history many have never heard of.
Truth is in production on The Tribes Of Palos Verdes with Jennifer Garner and is in post-production on Stealing Cars with William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman. Van Meter is the founder of NY-based NoEgo Films. Thames is the founder of LA-based 77 Films.

Customarily, kitchens were structured with the work triangle. "The work triangle interfaces the three principle work zones in a kitchen: the cooler, stove, and sink," said Paulette. While this is great to remember while arranging, this style has developed into a progressively viable "work zone" idea, which fits into an assortment of formats.
Cookroom: A kitchen has two parallel ledges with a walkway in the middle of them. Normally, the sink is on one side and the range is on the other. "Cookroom kitchens are incredible in light of the fact that they make the best utilization of every last trace of room and you don't need to stress over troublesome corner cupboards to arrange," Paulette said. These kinds of kitchens are particularly perfect for littler spaces and one-cook kitchens.
L-Shape: A L-shape kitchen comprises of two opposite ledges that meet up and structure a L. This format, which includes an eating space and numerous work zones, is incredible for engaging purposes in light of the fact that the cook can be close to the visitors and visitors can eat without feeling like they're in the way. "These kitchens give a great deal of room and you never need to stress over traffic, making it ideal for kitchens that are regularly occupied with family and visitors," said Sodemann.
Horseshoe: The horseshoe (or U-shape) kitchen design has three dividers of cupboards and machines. "This format functions admirably for different cooks to almost certainly effectively work and move all through the kitchen," she said. In addition to the fact that this designs expand space, it additionally makes partition between the kitchen and eating zones.
Island: Island kitchens include additional capacity, give a spot to eat, have an additional spot to get ready nourishment, and can house apparatuses. "Islands are unimaginably utilitarian and can add a ton to a kitchen, however ensure your kitchen has enough freedom space before including one," said Paulette.

Phil Jones is expecting the white-hot heat of a Manchester derby to eclipse the notoriously fractious rivalry between Burnley and Blackburn.
Those seething all-Lancashire tussles are the only real experience Jones has of a derby atmosphere. The spite and venom on show in those contests came as a shock to the Premier League, but even Chorley-born Jones feels that intensity will be surpassed at Old Trafford, as Manchester United entertain City looking for a win that would take them back to the top of the table.
"I played for Blackburn against Burnley and that was pretty hostile, although I would imagine this tops that one," said the 19-year-old. "The atmosphere doesn't bother me too much. We've been away in the Champions League and played in hostile atmospheres."
He added: "This is obviously going to be massive for both clubs. It means a lot to the fans. Hopefully we can get one over on them and make our supporters happy."
This particular meeting is given added spice by the fact the two Manchester clubs currently lie first and second in the table.
Chelsea will fancy their chances of gate-crashing the Mancunian party given their excellent recent form.
However, there is a sense within the United camp that City offer the greatest threat to their status as champions given the vast amounts of money Roberto Mancini has been able to spend in amassing possibly the strongest squad in Europe.
"They've had a lot of money to spend and have brought some quality players in," said Jones. "But we are just treating it as another game.
"All the papers are hyping it up. That's natural - it's a derby. But we can't afford to look at it like that. It's far too early in the season to start ruling out teams and trying to decide who's going to win the league.
"However, it would be a good confidence booster and if we concentrate on what we're good at I am sure we'll get the three points."

Shahid Kapoor
Shahid Kapoor's father is actor Pankaj Kapoor of Karamchand fame and his mother is actress and classical dancer Neelima Azeem. His parents are divorced. His stepmother is actress Supriya Pathak.
He has a half-sister Sana and two half-brothers, Ishaan and Ruhan. Ishaan acted with Shahid in the film, Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi (2005).
Shahid studied first at Gyanbharati in Delhi and later at Rajhans Vidyalaya in Mumbai. As a child, Shahid starred in the ad for Complan along with Ayesha Takia.
Shahid Kapoor was just 18 when he landed the commercial for Pepsi purely by chance. He starred in the ad along with Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji. Shahid also starred in a music video for the band Aryans along with his college sweetheart, Hrishita Bhatt.
Shahid is an expert dancer, trained under none other than Shiamak Davar. In 1999, Shahid had a small part in the hit movie Taal as a dancer in the background along with Aishwarya Rai in the son Kahiin Aag Lage Lag Jaawe.
Shahid Kapoor made his debut in Bollywood with the moderately successful Ishq Vishk (2003) opposite actress Amrita Rao and won the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award for his performance.
Shahid first box office success came with the multi-starrer, 36, China Town (2006). Vivah (2006) in which he starred along with Amrita Rao was a blockbuster and Shahid's biggest commercial success at that point.

Q: Pass by reference in a stack I am trying to create a simple program where the idea of the task is to create a stack that can take in a set number of values for the array and be able to push and pop the values on command. I am having trouble getting to my pass around correctly. I do not think the values are even getting added to the array.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int push(int x, int st, int stack1[]);
int pop(int st, int stack1[]);
int main ()
{
    char stack1[10];
    int stmax = 5;
    int st = -1;
    int x;
    int choice;

        while (1) {
                printf("What would you like to do? \n1. Check Empty\n2. Check Full\n3. Push\n4. Pop\n5. show\n\n");
                scanf("%d", &choice);
        switch (choice) {
            case 1:
                if(st = -1){
                        printf("Empty\n");
                }   else    {
                        printf("Not Full\n");
                        }

                break;
            case 2:
                if(st == stmax) {
                        printf("Full\n");
                }   else    {
                        printf("Not Full\n");
                        }

                break;
            case 3:
                printf("Enter a int to add to the stack:\n");

People are now using Ethereum to breed cartoon cats
Dec 2, 2017 by Andrei Calina
Even though Ethereum has a totally different major purpose, one of the most popular applications of the moment based on it is CryptoKitties. Yes, you guessed it: it allows players to buy, sell and breed virtual cartoon cats.
Launched on November 28, the app has proven itself so popular that more than 4% of the total transactions in the Ethereum network were made through it, being surpassed just by one app, a token trading platform.
Anybody up for a crypto kitten?
The idea behind the app is simple: you acquire a cartoon kitty, with its unique set of attributes (called "cattributes" in the game). Then, players try generating new kitties, with their own, unique attributes, by "breeding" them with other players' cats, in their stable.
A market place for kitties was also created, where they can be acquired or sold, with various prices, depending on the above-mentioned attributes.
Moving on to the "crypto" part of the app, it comes in because each of the felines are unique objects on the Ethereum blockchain, according to Quartz. Basically, it is as immutable and real as one unit of ether, the cryptocurrency used on the network.
In cases the makers of the game decided that they don't want to be in charge and stop the game, players will still own their kittens. Also, there's a high chance for this to become collectible items, which can eventually be sold for ridiculous prices.
The interest is getting bigger and bigger!
Currently, there is already a growing market for CryptoKitties, one of the felines being transacted for as high as $5,000. Also, a total of $66,000 has been already spend on kitty-based transactions so far.
CryptoKitties has 1,165 players right now, while the number of bred or released cats reached 16,877. The most valuable, Founder Cat #50, has a value of $4,766.60 at this moment, followed by Barnacles Gen 0!! ($916.82) and Chairman Meow ($566.72).
As one Twitter user calls it, the app can be considered a "modern day Pokemon with cats on the blockchain."

1. Failed Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOCs) can be recycled.
Many DPFs and DOCs carry a residual monetary value that can be converted to cash through recycling. Recycling failed DPFs/DOCs can also offset disposal costs while keeping the price of new catalyst parts down. While the monetary recycle value of DPFs vary, all DPFs can be recycled. Contact Red Fox if you'd like to find out what those failed DPFs sitting on your shop floor may be worth.
2. It is not legal to resell used DPFs for reuse.
A used filter installed from a vehicle not under the same common ownership or outside of a manufacturer's approved swapping and re-designation policy, is a violation of California's Anti-Tampering Law, Vehicle Code sections 27156 and 38391.
3. Failed DPFs should not be tossed in the garbage.
CARB has stated that the ash material that is removed from DPFs after the filter cleaning process is hazardous waste in California. While this statement does not necessarily mean failed DPFs are classified as hazardous waste, it can be concluded that the material contained in a used DPF has the same contents as the ash and has the potential to be a contaminate if land filled.
4. Not all OEM DPFs are required to be returned for core credit.
Many engine OEMs are tightening their DPF core acceptance policies for 2007 and DPFs and DOCs. Many dealers are finding the core credits coming back from the manufacturer are nominal. In many cases, a dealer may receive more value through recycling than through the core returns program.
5. In California it is not legal to replace a failed DPF with an aftermarket replacement unit not made by the OEM.
There are high-quality aftermarket replacement DPFs on the market in North America, however, as of April 21, 2016, these systems are not approved for sale in California. Fines have been issued to companies selling and installing aftermarket replacement DPFs before certification. You can follow the progress of this topic on CARBs Modified Part Procedure web page.

Evolution of Basketball: The 3-Pointer
Indiana's Three-Point King
Thanks to the legendary exploits of former Pacer and current Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, the three-point shot will always have a special place in the hearts of Indiana hoops fans.
Prior to having his number 31 jersey hung from the rafters in the Fieldhouse, the trash-talking Knicks killer made it his business to do damage from way downtown. During his tenure, he racked up 2,560 three-pointers and trailed Ray Allen for the all-time lead beyond the arc.
A few months prior to being selected by the Pacers with the 11th pick of the 1987 draft, California born Miller dropped a dying seconds game-winning 24-footer on Indiana's own Notre Dame. He was playing for UCLA at the time. The last seconds winning shot gave Hoosiers a taste of what he had in store. Miller would go on to entertain a generation of fans.
Evolution of the Three-Point Basket
Indiana's relationship with the 3-pointer began many years before Reggie arrived with a man named Herman Sayger. Sayger was born in Arkansas in 1895. After the death of his parents, he moved to Indiana at the age of six to live with his aunt. It was in Culver, Indiana, that Sayger discovered the then-young sport of basketball.
SAYGER
In 1913, Sayger set Indiana's single-game point record during his junior year. Playing for Culver High School, he scored 113 points against Winamac. Sayger continued his high-scoring streak during his senior year. He scored three 50+ point games, a 29.5 ppg, and a berth on the all-state team. These feats were made more impressive by the fact that they occurred prior to the adoption of the three-point line.

Amiah Manlove, center, who is stationed with the U.S. Army in Oahu, Hawaii, poses her mom Metika Beck Burke, right, and stepfather Stoney Burke, when she was finally able to make it home to Indianapolis on Sunday, Dec. 25, 2022. Active duty military personnel were caught in limbo as thousands of Southwest travelers stranded across the U.S. after waves of canceled flights. (Metika Beck Burke via AP)
Airline breakdown upends holiday leave for service members
Amiah Manlove used most of her savings to buy a $711 airline ticket to go home for the holidays. Then the Army private got stuck midway through the over 4,000-mile journey from Hawaii to Indianapolis and had to sleep on an airport floor.
Manlove, 20, an active-duty soldier stationed in Oahu, was among the many travelers whose holiday plans were upended when Southwest Airlines canceled wave after wave of flights across the country. Her father then spent his rent money to buy her a new flight after she was stranded at the Phoenix airport.
"This is the only time that I have to come home, the time we were going to cherish most for the next year — and to lose any of it is just devastating," said Manlove, who was finally able to make it home the afternoon of Christmas Day. "They would have done anything in their power to get me home."
Travelers who are in the military are often on fixed schedules that make it challenging to roll with the punches of chaotic airline breakdowns.
The Army typically shuts down basic training and advanced individual training schools for a 10-day break during the Christmas season. Active-duty soldiers can use some of their 30 days of accrued annual leave if they want to travel home during that period, but transportation costs aren't covered.
While she was stranded, Manlove's family searched frantically for solutions, and her father, a home health aide who relies on disability payments, used the $650 he saved for rent to purchase the only flight he could find — a one-way flight to Louisville, Kentucky, a two-hour drive from Indianapolis.
When he came to pick her up, they were so happy to be reunited that he was in tears before she opened the door to get in the car, she said.
"It was heartbreaking," she said.
Manlove, who is scheduled to fly back to Hawaii on Sunday, said she has not been able to reach Southwest on the phone to get a refund. She called more than 10 times and reached out on social media. The airline expected to resume normal operations on Friday.
The family still doesn't know how her father is going to pay rent, she said. For now, they've just been trying to enjoy the time they have together.
"It put a lot of stress on me because I have so many friends and family to see, and 10 days is not a lot," she said. "It's not like I can just call my leadership and be like, 'Oh, hey, can I have some more time?' That's not how that works."
"I'm sure their hearts would be just as heavy as mine, telling them what happened, but I have a duty and a job to do, and I can't spend all the time in the world here at home."
Crystal and Steve Molidor in Trout Creek, Montana, said they've been waiting 15 months to see their son, who serves in the Air Force and just returned to the U.S. from being deployed. He is now stationed in Anchorage, Alaska, and his mother said his flight home on Southwest Airlines has been canceled at least four times already.
"We lost four plus days and Christmas with him due to their complete incompetence," she said. "We can't extend his trip because he can't change up his leave dates at this point."
Crystal Molidor said she was on hold with Southwest for six hours Tuesday night and into the early hours of Wednesday morning trying to reach a customer service representative, but wasn't able to get through to anyone. When she woke up Wednesday, she tried again but gave up after a few more hours of silence.
She said the family finally decided to spend a couple hundred dollars to schedule a flight home for him on a different airline for Thursday, she said.
"I know this isn't a lot of money – it's more the stress they've caused our family and the principle of it," she said. "To continue to let people rebook instead of looking at other options when they knew the flights would be canceled is wrong. Had they been honest upfront, we could have gotten him here a few days sooner."
"I'll just be glad when he's home," she said.
Veterans have faced their own challenges. Air Force veteran Kevin Moffitt was finally able to schedule a flight home to Atlanta for Thursday after being stuck since Monday in Philadelphia, where he flew last week to visit family for Christmas.
The 51-year-old, who served in Afghanistan and now works in law enforcement, said the delays caused him to miss work and a long-awaited appointment for a scan he needs for back pain at the veteran's hospital.
He said he had to spend $579 with Delta for his new flight after being rescheduled multiple times by Southwest. He said he tried calling Southwest five times to discuss a refund but to no avail. On Wednesday, he received an email from the airline telling him he was getting a $15 refund with no context explaining what it was for.
Meanwhile, he's been paying to park his car at the Atlanta airport on top of a $50-a-day charge to board his dog.
But he said his biggest concern was that he ran out of medication he relies on to treat his PTSD. When he misses a day, he experiences nausea, vomiting and severe headaches, among other symptoms.
"Hopefully nothing goes wrong," he said of his next flight. "I'm hoping and praying nothing happens."

According to Mike McGrath of The Sun, Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake is a target for Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. The 23-year-old is being linked with a £40m move away from Dean Court after his high level of performances early into the new season.
Tottenham have Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez as options at centre-back, but with Vertonghen and Alderweireld out of contract next summer and yet to put pen to paper on an extension, there's real fear that Spurs could lose two big-name players from their defence.
Ake has big potential and is a versatile homegrown defender who is regarded as a 'world-class player' by McGrath. Bournemouth are understandably adamant on keeping him, however. The Netherlands international, who has made nine appearances for his country, has flourished with regular first-team football.
For years he floundered at Chelsea, enduring loan move after loan move to the likes of Reading, Watford and Bournemouth, before the Cherries made the deal permanent six months later. The former Feyenoord youth player has made a total of 61 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating nine goals.
Manchester City have Vincent Kompany, Aymeric Laporte, Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones as centre-back options, but Kompany is in the final year of his deal, while Otamendi turns 31 later this season. Manager Pep Guardiola is also short on left-back options, so Ake could be useful in a utility capacity.

Computer Magic
Interview with Danielle "Danz" Johnson
Computer Magic is Brooklyn's Danielle "Danz" Johnson—producer, DJ, and creator of superb electro-pop. We were immediately hooked by her keyboard-driven sound and wryly deadpan singing when we first heard Johnson's songs through Oh My Rockness a few years back. With countless EPs and digitally released singles under her belt, she's now hard at work on a debut full-length which we're sure will prove wildly successful.
We got a chance to catch up Danz to talk about her musical career, making it in NYC, and being big in Japan. Give it a read and listen to her most recent release, Extra Stuff EP, below. We're fans of "Time to Decide" + "Summer Vacation" especially.
raven + crow: First off, are you at all affiliated with Computer Magic Training in San Jose, California?
Danielle "Danz" Johnson: Unfortunately, I'm not!
Fuck. Guess I have to trash all my questions then.
Can you tell us about your name? We're always interested in that kinda thing, being in the branding business. Were you just like 'It's boring to go by Danielle Johnson and I like computers and this sounds cool"?
The name comes from a quote in Spinal Tap from Viv Savage: "Quite exciting this computer magic!".
See, I need to re-watch that movie. So rich with quotable material.
I think I first heard you through Claire + Patrick over at Oh My Rockness way back in 2010, at which point you just had a few songs floating around the interwebs. I think the conventional thinking back then was still 'get heard, play shows, record a full-length', but in the years since, full-lengths seem to be less and less important. Do you feel like putting out an LP is a necessary or expected step in a musician's evolution still?
I definitely think it's still necessary to put out full-length albums. I think what happened is, music just became easier to put out for unsigned artists. A full length is a delicate thing, it takes time to perfect, it usually takes money, one song you just upload.
Well-said. In addition to the, what, 23 EPs you've put out, I read that you put out a couple full-lengths in Japan. Any plans for a full-length stateside?
In Japan I've been fortunate enough to have a label that supports putting out the music I've already made available online, press it onto CDs, promote it, etc.
Over here it's a bit different, I've been releasing everything basically by myself. Over the next few months though, I plan to go into the studio with Claudius Mittendorfer (Neon Indian, Bloc Party, Interpol) and make my first full length record. I wanted to wait until I had the funds to work with a proper producer and record in a proper studio, wanted to wait until things were just right to start recording my debut full length.
So you're totally big in Japan.
There is a big audience for Computer Magic in Japan, the music has really caught on over there, it's amazing. It helps that I'm in love the culture. Definitely one of my favorite places to be and tour for sure.
I've always wanted to visit. The language-based + cultural barriers seem so scarily insurmountable, but I'll have to do it one day. Seems like a shame not to.
So, with the exception of a few EPs, most everything you've put out has been free of charge. Do you feel like that's the best way to get your music out to the most people or do you just think it's not possible anymore to make money off of song sales? Or are you just getting us all hooked on your mad beatz and before raising your prices dramatically, thus triggering the coming Computer Magic Crack Epidemic of 2014?
I don't think any artist can avoid getting torrented and I'd rather have direct traffic to my site rather than thepiratebay, so I put up my stuff for free, at least for a little while. It's a tough subject because I obviously want to get paid for the work I do, but on the other hand, free stuff is just so cool for fans. The more people that have your music and enjoy it the better, in my opinion.
That totally makes sense. It just must be so hard to survive—literally—as a musical artist these days.
I know you started making your own music after moving away from New York and spending some time in Tampa. We just moved from Brooklyn to LA ourselves. Did you feel like you just needed a break from the non-stop-ness of NYC for a while or what brought on the move?
I went through a period where I would literally never see sunlight. I dropped out of college, I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I was DJing full time which was fun, but needed something different so I moved to Florida to get away. I feel like that was the best thing that could've happened because I discovered something new about myself (i.e. music making). Good things come out of change, when things are stagnant you can't move forward or realize where you're at.
Amen to that, sister. What's you take on NYC today? It's changed so much over the past 10 or so years.
I love New York. It's my favorite city. It breaks you down and builds you back up. The rent is too expensive, everybody complains, the subways are dirty. But as a true New Yorker would say "ey, whaddya gonna do?" As for it changing, it always has been, but I can see how it's sped up in the last decade.
True. Did you read that piece David Byrne put out a while back about the 1% killing New York's creative community?
Yeah. It's hard for creatives to live in New York. It's just too expensive.
Do you feel like you'd ever move away from New York?
I've thought about Amsterdam. If I knew more Japanese maybe I'd consider Tokyo. Sometimes I think about moving to the middle of the country into total seclusion, but then I worry that I'd drive myself crazy. I don't have an allegiance to New York. My dad lives here (upstate) so I'd always come visit. I guess overall a complete different country really interests me, of course first I'd need the money.
Which brings us back to making money off music. How'd you originally get hooked up with White Iris Records?
Daron Hollowell found this article "Band To Watch" on Stereogum about Compute Magic. He emailed me and we hit it off and I flew to LA to make the Electronic Fences EP. Those guys are great.
Totally. Started by some ex-Duke-Dogs (our college mascot). Now that we're Southern Californians—any plans to play LA soon?
Yes. I'd say more but I don't know the details yet.
Fair, fair. Was it awesome to walk around NYC in a spacesuit for your 2011 video for "The End of Time"?
It was weird but I felt awesome and invincible. Also, if you watch the people's reactions in the video, no one even notices.
So New York. We like your recent Sun Ra cover—any other fun covers planned in the near future?
I sort of just decide to cover songs on a whim. It's a mixture of being both obsessed with a specific song and bored. I plan to make more in the future. Recently I've been listening to Nine Inch Nails' Wish on repeat, so who knows.
Oh, a cover from Wish would rule. I feel like 'Happiness in Slavery' would be an oddly good fit.
Lightening round—Dream show line-up you'd like to play?
Paul McCartney, Radiohead, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Pavement, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Nine Inch Nails, Nas, Frank Zappa (because this is a dream line-up), Beck, Serge Gainsbourg, The Who (with Kieth Moon) and William Shatner as host and covering "Rocket Man".
It could happen. Predicted winner of the coming World Cup?
You come off as quite the synth buff—favorite/dream snyth?
I have the Moog Voyager which I love, although I really want a polyphonic synth, so I'd say maybe the MemoryMoog, PolyMoog, or the colorful, amazing looking EMS PolySynthi (pictured right).
Whoa, that looks like it was designed for a Sesame Street character. Go with that one. Favorite Downton character?
I've only seen the first few episodes, but I remember I liked the guy with the cane.
Daredevil? Best video game ever?
Super Mario 64, Wave Race, Banjo-Kazooie, Rayman. (Galaga, if we're at a bar).
Band you've been extra-keen on of late?
I haven't been listening to anything new recently, just a lot of Gary Numan's Replicas album and Pavement.
I heard Numan do a live set for KCRW last year. He still holds up live. Most amazing animated GIF?
The one of Andrew WK's interview on Fox.
Related—do you fall in the 'jiff' GIF camp or the hard G GIF camp?
G camp. I only think of peanut butter otherwise.
THANK YOU. Finally, and most importantly, if you were a mythical beast, you'd be…?
A dragon?
Well-chosen.
