A regular to these things since the Progscape festivals in 1995/96, they never get old. I'll try to spare too much of the personal anecdotes...
Edensong -
Been a fan of the Fruit Fallen back to the days James Schoen was posting songs on his myspace a few years back. And he worked a merch table last year, so the climb up the ladder has been slow and steady...he assembled a great band for the show. Mike Tee played a wonderful bass, and Barry Seroff's flute reminded me a lot of Stephen Dundon of Molly Bloom. Barry had a lot of herky-jerky motions, and attacked the notes in the Roland Kirk style. The presentation was neat, with his cellist very nattily attired, and James in his very large hat. A fine set, with important contributions from every band member. Wonderful opener.
Singularity -
Not very familiar with their music, I just let it ride...powerful set. I was impressed with the vocals and the emotion of the music. I had played "Xot" on my show, and knew that one well - great tune, even if I've been mispronouncing it for weeks! The playing was technically right on, without losing any of the passion. I especially liked Scot Cleland's guitar work.
Phideaux -
A lot to digest - which was a good thing - the music is hypnotic and builds, not very "in your face" - so having ten people on stage (the most this side of George Clinton) kind of worked. I was joking that Phideaux must have had some mind control going on, with the snappy Phideaux electronics on the belts and the little dance that each singer had. Of course, with all the players, it took me half to show to realize that Mat Kennedy was on bass (I'd forgotten he was playing the show). Mat's a good egg, and have seen him numerous times with Discipline (one of the all-time great bands). I have to blame some of it on his hat, which effectively hid him for long stretches. Valerie Gracious was the first of many powerhouse vocalists of the weekend. She had much help, and she carried the melodies nicely. I thought Ariel Farber's violin and vocal work was stunning. And two of the great names of rock, Bloody Rich and Johnny Unicorn! The highlight of the set for me was "Thank You For the Evil" (from Doomsday Afternoon). Fun tune. All in all, a good performance.
It Bites - back in 2005, I'd seen the Johns (Mitchell and Beck) at Summers End do a brief but excellent acoustic set. The final song was a cover of "Here Comes The Flood", done so well. Little did I know that John Mitchell would be a mainstay at the Prog festivals, playing Rosfest a few times, even teaming up with Beck for the awesome Kino show. I love John Beck's keyboard playing and pop vocal sensibilities (I missed his late late night singing by the pool, I was pretty messed up stomach-wise the whole weekend, drank only Friday night). Teaming Lee Pomeroy and Bob Dalton's vocals with the Johns was killer. I was right in front of Lee, and marveled over the sheer joy he exhibited. The only (small) regret was not being able to watch Bob Dalton on drums. It seemed like the drummers in general were hidden behind big ass cymbals. Or more accurately, I was too close and the floor was level.
(This is funny - my spell check wanted to change "Progscape" to "Prostate" and "Phideaux" to "Hideous")...
back to It Bites...they have such catchy numbers..."Midnight" sounds like it was covered by a million artists. Such a familiar chorus. What a fun show.
Back in college, "The Wake" and "Tales From the Lush Attic" were staples of my listening experience. Over time, I'd lost interest in the band, only recently recapturing it with the last two records, great efforts indeed. I looked forward to the show, and on balance, was pleased. Had a few grumblings, though - Mike Holmes' guitar was way too low in the mix. Add to that his Hackett-like interplay with the keyboards, he often got drowned out. Another was Peter Nicholls being too prissy, like he was at Nearfest. One of the amusing things about concerts is the band members looking over the sound people and moving their thumbs up and down to get the right mix. Peter does this a lot, and runs his sound guy ragged. He was really pissed at Nearfest, and also shot evil glances most of the first few tunes at 3rp. What was funny was, he'd sounded the best I've heard in a long time. I thought the vocal performance was excellent. Although he did defuse his consternation somewhat by doing the "this mike is useless" lyric, it's time to relax a bit - you won't get two more disparate personalities side by side on stage than Peter and John Jowitt. Ah yes, JJ - the "house" bassist at the Prog Shows, he's been with Blind Ego, Neo, IQ, Frost, and Jadis. Also, everyone has a John Jowitt picture (I have one that I will upload I hope soon) and he's a world class partier. "Old new" drummer Paul Cook was great, and I really liked the keyboard work of Mark Westworth (was good with Darwin's Radio a few years back). I enjoyed the set list, especially the Frequency cuts and "Gateway" from way back when.
Sklenik - What a great band. They played under the tent outside as night was falling, and I found their performance lots of fun. Howard Levy had turned me on to them about six months ago, and I was very interested in seeing the "prog bassoon" in action! I didn't realize that J.P. Kozusko did double duty on the bassoon and guitar. The dichotomy of sound was jarring...and in concert they were more raw, and it really rocked. Got to talk to J.P. after the show and found out some neat things like Sklenik is Slovak for "glass house"....his (and mine) favorite GG record! Talked about a lot of different things...and got to see the bassoon which seemed to fold into a hundred different parts. I was joking that his Mom probably said "no electric guitar until you play your bassoon"! Look forward to hearing more in addition to the two releases they have out.
Persephone's Dream -
I'd been looking forward to Day 2 for months - Gravity sandwiched by Crack The Sky and King's X? Holy fuck. And before that were three excellent bands...Persephone's Dream was another band I'd heard little from. Was at a bit of an advantage by not drinking, so I was able to make their set. And also at an advantage by not knowing them. I was talking to my friend Dan, who is from Pittsburgh, and he said that their performances in the past left much to be desired. Lucky us...I had a blast. Recently, I've gained an appreciation of styles of music that if I played them in high school, I would have gotten my ass kicked. Azam Ali, Telesma, music with Mideast rhythms have captured my fancy of late. PD had a great sound. Again, the vocals were awesome. Jim Waugaman and Heidi Engel were double trouble, both with soaring vocal performances. The hit of the show was John Tallent, with literally a hundred percussion instruments. His front and center work on the last tune was superlative. My hands hurt watching him...and Scot Harvey on the drums was no slouch either. I was also happy to see one continuous piece of music...had a booklet to go with it but have not read it yet...
Syzygy -
Wow. I'd been corresponding with Dena Henry for some time about the band, and she was kind enough to send me a "brochure" with the new record. I'd had "Allegory of Light" for some time - a fine record, if a little busy - "Realms of Eternity" is more concise, and an absolute masterpiece. When I got the mailing I was stunned to see Mark Boals on vocals. I'd seen him last year with Uli Jon Roth's band. He and Liz Vandall (a dead ringer for Cher, Mark and I had a chuckle about that after the show) absolutely crushed, belting out Scorpions classics like "Catch Your Train", "Sails of Charon", etc...so I was excited to see him live again. (We also laughs about Uli's loudness...I was right in front of his speaker and he warned me...). Mark did an excellent job of not becoming the focal point of the band, staying in the back until his vocal parts were needed. Would have liked to hear him doing "Immigrant Song" and "Highway Star", cut off from the set due to time. Paul Mihacevich was the best drummer I'd seen all weekend - just to think if he had shoes on, would have busted the kit! The performance was grand, and Carl Baldassarre ripped off two of the most bitchin' solos - one woke me up, I'd dozed off for a second (no reflection on the band - I once nodded off on my feet during Hackett's "Everyday", one of the best solos ever done). I only wished Sam Giunta was a bit more visible. He was placed almost directly behind Carl...a very small regret though, as I was able to hear him very well. Overall, an unforgettable show.
Glass Hammer -
Seen them at Progscape in 1995, and then the Nearfest performance...I enjoy everything I hear from them, but am not intensely familiar with all of their work. I do have the Wyzards that Steve Babb has done and enjoy that immensely. Didn't realize David Wallimann was with them, I like his music...should have known given the Tennessee roots and the Salem Hill connections of GH. Anyway, I always enjoy the virtuosity of Fred Schendel and the overall sound of the band. If I have any qualms about them it's that they cover a lot of musical ground, and the flow of the concert was a bit uneven. But I enjoyed every note. And another barefoot drummer!
Crack the Sky -
I have so many musical memories of them - seen them over 20 times, mostly at the Recher and Hammerjacks, both in Baltimore. Also, I've got Crack dollars, a busted drumstick thrown by Rick Witkowski (after a double drum solo) and pizza stains from the pizza Buster caught that they threw once...seeing them at a venue that was conducive to actually hearing the notes (like Rosfest last year) was exciting. At the other two venues, the drunks made it unable to hear Glenn Workman (yes another barefoot wonder) and his "Ice" keyboard solo. Anyway - they did their usual high-energy set. Original members Witkowski, D'Amico, and Macre (the latter two recently re-entering the band) are always on top of their game. Bobby Hird on lead guitar is also most fun.
John Palumbo is always a good ringleader. He doesn't play much anymore, his voice is shot, and he's quite aloof at times, but he's a strong personality. I've seen him do an acoustic show with Witkowski (they did "Snow White" among other rarities) and in an acoustic show after Syd Barrett died at a record store, so know he can play. But he usually just loafs around the stage nowadays. Well I was all settled in, and much to my disgust I could only hear Rick Witkowski's guitar...VERY loudly. I stuck with it through "From the Greenhouse" - I knew it was Rick's lead, so I braved that part. But "Nuclear Apathy" (their best song) was muddy...I moved to the back center with Dan and we had a blast. He'd seen them in the old days and not since (except for Rosfest) - and we were digging them like schoolkids. And the "Solid Gold" dancer near us! Crack the Sky is always fun. Even more so when they do "Flashlight" and songs like that, shelved of late for proggy songs like "Go" and "Zoom" (which has a chorus directly lifted from "Comfortably Numb". Highlight for me is always the "Ice" jam, and "A Sea Epic", where Palumbo calls God "babe" and "the dude"
Gravity - They must have brought some friends cause they packed the parking lot. NYC had McCartney on the roof. We had Gravity in the lot! I spin "Into Oblivion" a lot, and have featured it on my show - good instrumental metal, heavy on the punch, easy on the wank. Live, they exhibited more freedom and passion, and that resonated with many. So many people ran up and said, "this is great"! Good to see these young men get an audience - they should be going places. Better get Howard some glasses next year to read the winning numbers, so I don't miss the first two songs ...
King's X - Another band that I have a long history with. I've seen them do unbelievable things live, such as the 17-minute version of "Vegetable" at the Thunderdome. I told Ty and Jerry after the show that I thought their arms were going to drop off. In recent year's I'd not seen them do a full show. They've been opening up for Extreme, Joe Satriani, etc. and do 6-8 song sets That ain't right. So seeing them in the front row, a full show, with my best buddy Jeff...it simply does not get better.
A few things I was amused by - there was a roadie situated near Dug, whose job it was to shine a light when Dug would check his settings, or clear the cords from his feet when he sang. He was a fast as a tennis ball boy and must have darted out a dozen times. Also entertaining was the big goof who planted himself in front row center. Dug says, "You're fucked up man, you've had too much to drink"...he did give some good performance art to songs like "Pray for Me" with his histrionics. Also, Dennis Haley and John Jowitt rushed the stage during "Over My Head". I didn't realize John was such a King's X fan. We had a good talk about that later. And the boy (I'd estimate he was early teens) in the second row just following every word and note, with his Mom who looked a bit befuddled by our Big Man in the Front - that gives me hope for our youth.
These three are consummate professionals. Set up their gear, check it out, and go. Ty Tabor is amazing, he just plays and there's no wasted effort. God does he love to riff. Jerry hits the drums like they just stole his wallet. He has three arm motions and that's it, like a conductor. And of course, Dug is the man. He was in top form...I especially like the placement of left-handed Dug and right-handed Ty so that the instruments face each other.
The set list was killer. They did not do a lot of newer stuff, which pleased me. When they did, it was hot tunes like "Pray for Me", "Alright", and "Move". Nothing from Ogre, Manic, or Bulbous. Opening song mainstay "Groove Machine" was awesome, and "Looking for Love" got the blood moving. "Black Flag", "Dogman", "Summerland", and early record surprises "Pleiades" and "What Is This" were great - and of course "It's Love", Black Flag", and "Lost In Germany", just so good. And hearing "We Were Born To Be Loved", the tightest song on the planet, in both concert AND soundcheck, was a highlight. Spent most of the sound check informing intruders that yes, the patron tickets WERE reserved.
Finally, Dug always has a holy man type story during "Over My Head". This installment was about how "it's a terrible thing for a man to be doing something he doesn't like doing". And of course all that week I kept thinking about that at work. Thanks, Dug... I think.
Again, too many personal memories and happenings to mention. I'm ready to do it all again at Progday, this time with a better stomach. Howard Levy, you are one bad man. I thank you more than you know.

CRM Configuration Manager is an application for working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Customizations. The primary functions is to export and import customizations the best way possible, fixing issues that exists in the standard process provided by Microsoft. Also one goal with CCM is to be able to automate the customization handling process, i e for use with version control and installations scripts.
Here we describe how to use CRM Configuration Manager, step by step. CCM is built upon one main dialog, that contains all input parameters. This gives a powerful user interface, but can also feel a bit complicated at first. The whole setup process consists of six steps, we will explain them bellow with an image illustrating where in the dialog the action is performed.
This is the main dialog, all actions are done in a top to bottom fashion, where you start at the top and drill down the options until you have a valid selection to execute.

A group of scientists did an experiment where they were actually able to see the process of memories being rewritten in a person's brain — as a result of peer pressure.
According to a release from Science:
Micah Edelson and colleagues showed volunteers a documentary and then later quizzed them on it while monitoring their brain activity with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The researchers also shared incorrect answers with the volunteers, telling them that these answers were given by others they had watched the movie with. A large number of participants persistently agreed with the fake memory, even when their original recollections were correct (as shown by a previous quiz). The fMRI results generally showed enhanced activity in the hippocampus and amygdala when the volunteers were making these errors well after the initial viewing of the movie. The persistence of these errors indicates that the test subjects believed they were remembering correctly.
So when your friends tell you that something happened, your memory of it happening may be false, implanted by the power of peer suggestion.
This isn't always the case, though. The researchers found that people sometimes pretend to have a false memory simply in order to conform. The report from Science explains:
In contrast, these brain activity patterns [of memory rewriting] didn't show up in a more short-term scenario, when the volunteers only made the errors while being shown the fake memories. These errors likely represent a more conscious decision to change one's answer in order to conform.
Whether the subject believes what she's saying or not, you've still got strong evidence that peer pressure is enough to convince somebody to remember the past differently.
In a related article in Science, psychologists Henry Roediger and Kathleen McDermott explain that this study offers neurological evidence for something that has long been observed by psychologists:
Memory conformity is the general term for these positive and negative effects. Psychologists distinguish between private conformity (truly believing the conforming response to be one's own) and public conformity (going along with the group, even if you privately believe the group is wrong).
We can even see this kind of memory conformity happening on a social level too. Over time, peer pressure and media coverage can change the way people remember enormous, international events like war or political scandal.

As General Napoleon Bonaparte once stated, "If you want a thing done well, do it yourself," so the next time you're entertaining and have to make dessert, in the don't half-ass it by buying a cake at the supermarket. Get in the kitchen and express your culinary flair with a homemade treat like these strawberry Napoleons (no short Frenchmen needed). This take on the traditional French dessert (a.k.a.: mille-feuille) is made up of layers of flaky puff pastry smothered with vanilla pastry cream and strawberry-thyme jam, topped with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar. I promise you don't need to be a trained pastry chef to pull this off.
The homemade jam I used was infused with fresh thyme — a lovely sweet-savory combination — but feel free to use store bought instead. (Tip: Infuse store bought jam with thyme by heating both together with a little water in a pot over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, then let cool to room temperature.) As for the vanilla pastry cream (a cooked custard), you can have the bragging rights by making it yourself, but if you're in a pinch, simply use vanilla pudding in its place.
I urge you to go forth and conquer this dish for a special occasion (or any dol' ay), and remember: it won't be as difficult as the Battle of Waterloo — it's just dessert.

Benton County wet-dry battle heats up
Group claims alcohol leads to more crime
In five weeks, voters will vote yes or no to alcohol sales in Benton County.
As the clock ticks down to Election Day, a new opposition group is surfacing, hoping to persuade voters to keep alcohol out of the county.
Citizens United to Preserve Benton County wants voters to say "no" to alcohol sales.
"We think that most people are unaware of what is going to happen to Benton County once it goes wet," said John Gore of Citizens United to Preserve Benton County.
The religious-based group said allowing alcohol sales will lead to more crime, violence and less money for the county.
"When you look at the counties that are wet in Arkansas, those counties have 60 percent more law enforcement. Any additional tax revenue will be spent on additional law enforcement," Gore said.
According to the group's website, wet counties account for nearly 300 percent more crime than their dry counterparts statewide.
Gore said Benton County actually has more arrests than Washington County currently, but that the rate of arrests is higher per capita in wet counties in Arkansas.
Supporters of the measure said crime can't be pinned down to one issue.
Marshall Ney, of the Walton family-backed group Keep Dollars in Benton County, said, "They put all of the dry counties together and all of the wet counties together. To say that the reason why Little Rock has more crime than Benton County is because Pulaski County is wet, and Benton County is dry, I just don't think is real credible."
With time running out, Gore said he hopes voters see the difference alcohol can make to a community.
"We're organizing a grassroots effort. We feel like once people realize the difference and what's going to happen to Benton County, we believe that we will be successful," Gore said.
Another issue facing Gore's group is that it hasn't officially filed with the Arkansas Ethics Commission to report financial contributions.
The group said it hopes to raise $35,000 but that number pales in comparison to the amount raised by the Walton-backed activists.
Officials said that group has gotten more than $500,000 this year alone.

Google Drive is Live – WOOT!
Today, we're introducing Google Drive—a place where you can create, share, collaborate, and keep all of your stuff. Whether you're working with a friend on a joint research project, planning a wedding with your fiancé or tracking a budget with roommates, you can do it in Drive. You can upload and access all of your files, including videos, photos, Google Docs, PDFs and beyond.
With Google Drive, you can:
- Create and collaborate. Google Docs is built right into Google Drive, so you can work with others in real time on documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Once you choose to share content with others, you can add and reply to comments on anything (PDF, image, video file, etc.) and receive notifications when other people comment on shared items.
- Store everything safely and access it anywhere (especially while on the go). All your stuff is just… there. You can access your stuff from anywhere—on the web, in your home, at the office, while running errands and from all of your devices. You can install Drive on your Mac or PC and can download the Drive app to your Android phone or tablet. We're also working hard on a Drive app for your iOS devices. And regardless of platform, blind users can access Drive with a screen reader.
- Search everything. Search by keyword and filter by file type, owner and more. Drive can even recognize text in scanned documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. Let's say you upload a scanned image of an old newspaper clipping. You can search for a word from the text of the actual article. We also use image recognition so that if you drag and drop photos from your Grand Canyon trip into Drive, you can later search for [grand canyon] and photos of its gorges should pop up. This technology is still in its early stages, and we expect it to get better over time.
You can get started with 5GB of storage for free—that's enough to store the high-res photos of your trip to the Mt. Everest, scanned copies of your grandparents' love letters or a career's worth of business proposals, and still have space for the novel you're working on. You can choose to upgrade to 25GB for $2.49/month, 100GB for $4.99/month or even 1TB for $49.99/month. When you upgrade to a paid account, your Gmail account storage will also expand to 25GB.
Drive is built to work seamlessly with your overall Google experience. You can attach photos from Drive to posts in Google+, and soon you'll be able to attach stuff from Drive directly to emails in Gmail. Drive is also an open platform, so we're working with many third-party developers so you can do things like send faxes, edit videos and create website mockups directly from Drive. To install these apps, visit the Chrome Web Store—and look out for even more useful apps in the future.
This is just the beginning for Google Drive; there's a lot more to come.
Get started with Drive today at drive.google.com/start—and keep looking for Nessie…

Welcome to Google Search in China's New Home – Google.CN is now Google.HK
Extracted from my CNET article here.
Just hours ago, Google officially pulled the plug out of China and the search engine in China now points you to theirs in Hong Kong.
According to an AP Press article, "Visitors to Google's old service for China, Google.cn, are now being redirected to the Chinese-language service based in Hong Kong, where Google does not censor the search results. The Hong Kong page heralded the shift Monday with this announcement: "Welcome to Google Search in China's new home."
The site also began displaying search results in the simplified Chinese characters that are used in mainland China.
However, the results can't all be accessed inside China, because government filters restrict the links that can be clicked
by mainland audiences."
So what would China do now, would they shift the power and put pressure on the Hong Kong local authorities…. guess we just have to wait and see.
Anyways… welcome to Google Search in China's new home.

NASA has the champagne on ice as its Odyssey Orbiter prepares to break the "Martian longevity record".
On 15 December, the spacecraft will clock up its 3,340th day since entering orbit around the Red Planet on 24 October 2001, and will have "worked longer at Mars than any other spacecraft in history".
Odyssey takes the crown from its predecessor, Mars Global Surveyor, which "operated in orbit" between 11 September 1997 and 2 November 2006.
The highlight of Odyssey's career to date came in 2002, when it identified hydrogen just below the surface of Mars's high-latitude regions. Scientists' deduction that this element was held in frozen water was confirmed in 2008 by the Phoenix mission.
By the end of its prime mission in 2004, the spacecraft had completed its mapping of radiation around Mars to assist future human exploration, but an extension of its working life has allowed it to provide reams more data for NASA scientists to ponder.
Much of this has come from the onboard Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) camera (see pic, above*). Odyssey Project Scientist Jeffrey Plaut, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), said: "The extra years have allowed us to build up the highest-resolution maps covering virtually the entire planet."
Odyssey has also provided ongoing coverage of seasonal changes on Mars, including "the cycle of carbon-dioxide freezing out of the atmosphere in polar regions during each hemisphere's winter".
Plaut noted: "It is remarkable how consistent the patterns have been from year to year, and that's a comparison that wouldn't have been possible without our mission extensions."
The hard-working orbiter has additionally supported extended operations by the Spirit and Opportunity Mars Exploration Rovers, acting as their primary communications relay.
Bob Berry, Odyssey program manager at JPL's mission partner, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, enthused: "Hundreds of people who built the Odyssey spacecraft here, in addition to the much smaller crew operating it today, have great pride in seeing the spacecraft achieve this milestone."
NASA has a photo gallery of some of Odyssey's best Martian postcards right here. ®
* NASA explains: "Fans and ribbons of dark sand dunes creep across the floor of Bunge Crater in response to winds blowing from the direction at the top of the picture. The frame is about 14km (9 miles) wide."

How to Level to 80 Quickly in World of Warcraft
Don't do what I'm doing. Seriously. OK, I'll admit it. The title was a cheap trick to see how much search engine traffic I could grab from people too lazy to download QuestHelper or Carbonite, which is technically lazy to begin with. By now, I'm sure most of those poor misled individuals have stopped reading, so back to my small group of dedicated readers.
Devv is only halfway through level 71. Predatore is still stuck at 58. And Arpeggio is up to level 10 now. Wait. Who? Yeah. I know. Of all the things I could have done to make best use of the forty bucks I dropped on Wrath, I'm leveling a new alt; a Dwarf Hunter, to be exact. Arpeggio has been stuck at level 5 ever since Kaddisfly prompted me to create a Hunter to level. I knocked out the quick quests to get from level 1 to 5, then let him sit in Coldridge Valley for several weeks.
The Hunter class is at its most boring from levels 5 to 10. Up to level 5, you almost level just from walking into a new zone. After level 10, you have a pet to keep you company and to do most of the grunt work for you. But the grind from 5 to 10 is unbearably slow and boring. For starters, you're knee-deep in melee combat. Beyond level 10, a Hunter should never be getting involved in melee combat unless they're getting themselves out of a bad situation. Oh sure, you can open with a Viper Sting, throw in an Arcane Shot and try to kite Auto-Shot until the mob drops. But the sad reality is that at some point, you'll be face-to-face with any mob that's within a level or two of your own. Even Raptor Strike seems to be more about Blizzard showcasing a cool little animation than the damage it actually deals. It's not until you acquire Concussive Shot that you can finish an entire one-on-one fight ranged. But the key words here are "one-on-one" If you get adds, you're still playing Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots with the cuddly critters and humanoids of *Insert Starting Zone Name Here*.
But I digress. Actually, this entire blog is a digression. Never mind the man behind the curtain. The point to be made here is that I'm really not getting my money's worth out of the expansion. If I spent a lot of time with Devv out in Northrend, my investment would be justified. Death Knights can't be created without purchasing the add-on. Leveling Predatore would make sense. What am I doing? Leveling a character who I could be playing even if I didn't own Burning Crusade. That makes sense. So what started this whole mess? I decided that I was… wait! It seems like I should start a new paragraph.
Cool. I decided that I wanted to level Ellyza so I could get her Enchanting up to the point where I could disenchant the drops that Devv was picking up right before Northrend. Enchantress (bank alt #2) is sitting on full bank tab and two 16-slot bags full of goodies that require Enchanting level 275 to DE. When I logged into the old girl, she had 11 talent points free and a clean slate. I decided to ditch my Disc leveling idea and throw all of the points into Shadow. I took her out to Redridge Mountains to finish up the quests that she still had open before sending her off to Auberdine. It took me all of about five minutes for me to realize that leveling a Priest sucks. Sure, they can melt faces later on in life. And if you manage your health and mana accordingly, you can survive long fights. But at level 20, Priests just seem like underpowered Mages with the ability to Rez and Heal. I really hope I didn't offend any Priests out there. It's not that the class sucks. It's that I suck at playing the class. I think I'm gonna need some advice from Pugnacious Priest on this one.
So, back to Arpeggio. I quickly got frustrated with Ellyza, had no interest in enduring low framerates in Northrend, and wanted nothing to do with jockeying for position for my turn to kill mobs in Eastern Plaguelands. So I logged out to the character select screen and noticed my old pal Arpeggio chillin' at cinco. It took me just shy of two hours to get to level 10. After the pet taming questline, I decided to pick my first pet. I made the conscious decision to pick a pet that appealed to me personally. At the highest levels, pet selection can make a massive difference. In PvP, your pet can make or break you. But as a "just for fun" leveling alt, I decided to bypass the Petopia research and just go with something fun. With that in mind, I tamed a wolf just north of Kharanos. Sticking with the musical theme, I named him Allegro. OK, OK. Here's the story. Shot rotation is half the fun of being a Hunter. The distinction between the different flavors of shots is much like an arpeggiated chord. Allegro, on the other hand, likes to go rushing in to whup some ace.
When I went to bed last night, Arpeggio and Allegro were nestled snugly in their beds in Ironforge. The former learned a little Mining and Engineering before calling it a night. His pet made it clear that he is notgonna eat bread before getting some shuteye himself. So, yet another distraction enters the fold. If I can stay focused enough to actually level Arpeggio beyond 20, I'm sure I'll become even more addicted to reading Pike's thoughts than I already am. Even if you're not a Hunter, her blog is one of the better ones out there. Do yourself a favor and check it out. As for me, I'll get the Armory listings for Arpeggio and Predatore added when I get home later tonight. If anybody on my roster makes it to 80, it's gonna be a frickin' miracle!

Ask Noel: Reverse mortgage or annuity?
I have $238,000 redraw available on a mortgage loan for an investment property that is currently positively geared. Can I use the redraw facility on this loan to withdraw these funds to purchase another investment property?
Provided the money redrawn was used to buy an income producing asset the interest would be tax deductible.
I lost my job a few months ago and will soon be on the age pension. I am single and own my own home. I have $146,000 in super that I will need to take as an account-based pension, which will be 5 per cent of the balance every year. The sum would be $7300 per year, making it $280 per fortnight? How will I be assessed? I have tried a few different calculators, but still can't understand.
Money withdrawn from an account-based pension is not assessable to an age pensioner. The value of the superannuation fund which is the source of the account-based pension will be deemed. For a figure of $146,000 the deemed income would be $154 a fortnight. You will find simple deeming and aged pension calculators on my website, noelwhittaker.com.au.
I am 73 years old and own a mortgage-free house worth, in today's market, just over $800,000. I have $70,000 in savings but no superannuation. I am on the full pension but this is not enough to cover the maintenance, rates, etc for my 40-year-old house, so each year I use $10,000 of my savings to help cover these items. In seven years, supposing I survive that long, I will need to take out either a reverse mortgage or an annuity to cover these annual costs. My daughter paid the deposit on my house and I want to leave my house to her and to my son.
Downsizing is simply not an option as far as I am concerned, as I would lose a minimum of $70,000 in the transaction (seven years' house maintenance) and perhaps purchase a property at a cost of $700,000, which would not leave me with much extra for maintenance for the new property and my children would inherit a smaller sum of money. This does not sit well with me and as the property market is lifting, I believe I would be foolish to sell now. I would be grateful if you could explain the difference between a reverse mortgage and an annuity and which of these I should take out in these circumstances?
I like your thinking. If you buy an annuity you are exchanging a lump sum for an income stream, which may be for life, or for a contracted period such as five years or 10 years. A reverse mortgage is a loan against your home with no repayments of principal or interest. Therefore, the loan would increase faster and faster as time goes by due to the effect of compounding.
Based on the information you have provided you would appear to be a perfect candidate for the Pension Loans Scheme, the expansion of which was announced in last month's budget. The interest rate is 5.25 per cent and the payments to you would be made fortnightly just like your pension is now. This slow drawing down of the loan means it will not increase as quickly as if you borrowed a lump sum. These loans will not be available to full pensioners until after July 1 next year. As you point out there is no desperate hurry. Just hope the scheme will still be around in seven years.

Track notes:
Steinski was coming to the UK, cut up collagist and all-round nice guy legend that he is. We'd known each other since 1998 when we played together in Brighton for a night Krafty Kuts had put on and had kept in touch ever since. He was visiting the UK for a holiday with his wife and we asked if he would play unannounced at our monthly Solid Steel night in London to which he agreed.
The night had a policy of never announcing who the guests were, it was DK and myself as residents and you paid £3 on the door and found out who was on the bill when you got downstairs to the basement where the club was. This meant that people genuinely wanted to be there and felt part of something when they could say they saw Four Tet or Diplo or Luke Vibert the night before in a sweaty basement in central London for less than a fiver.
So Stein comes over and hangs out and has made two special mixes for the night too, which he gracefully let us play on Solid Steel a few weeks later. Not only that, I'd bought a box of 45s on eBay a few months before but the seller only shipped them within the US. I got them sent to Steve's place in New York and he bought them over. There were a couple a quite rare Christian spoken word 7"s in the box, one including John Rydgren but there was plenty of other good stuff too. This mix is made up of the contents of the box plus a few random flexi discs I also added to the mix. Add in Steinski's two mini mixes and you have an hour of very random beats, bits and bobs.
There's a lot of drug messages in this as several of the records were about that. The Fenella Fielding flexi disc is a classic and Jonny Trunk swears that she farts at one point in it. The Kenny Everett and Michael Aspel disc, 'On Love' is very strange, Kenny seems pissed or high, Michael makes an inappropriate confession about his daughter and Kenny confesses to unrequited love with someone called Henry which, given that this was made way before he was out of the closet, is another one for the list of now obvious clues he dropped throughout his broadcasting career.

Deepchord – Lanterns (Astral Industries) – repress of the first even AI release!
I'm very aware that this blog seems to mostly be mixes at the moment so I thought I'd update people with what else has been happening these past few months. Since lockdown and the loss of all gigs I've been super busy, firstly trying to adjust as we all have to this new weird order, and working on lots of projects.
I started a Mixcloud Select channel 13 weeks ago (as you can't fail to have noticed if you read this blog) – weekly uploads from my tape archive for the price of a cuppa a month.
I also started a digital-only label on Bandcamp, Infinite Illectrik, for my turntable experiments and other non-DJ Food projects. I've been working on several collage pieces (examples seen here) which will eventually result in a comic to be included with another project I'll be recording for the label, The In-Sect, no release date for that yet, probably next year.
An old collaboration with Howlround has been resurrected and completed under the name The New Obsolescents, I'm listening to the masters of the album as I type and preparing the handmade covers over the next few weeks, it will be different and the sleeve will be very special indeed. More info very soon…
PC and I compiled three Kaleidoscope companion mixes to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album we made in 2000. We're currently assembling a proposed release for it, i'll let you know what becomes of that.
I'm currently in the middle of composing a soundtrack to a book that's being published this summer, again collaborating with a few different people, that should be getting a CD and digital release this year too.
Graphic work largely ground to a halt during lockdown including a trilogy of albums for The Real Tuesday Weld and a zoetrope project for another artist. That work is slowly picking back up it seems and I hope to finish these as well as starting another zoetrope job for a huge act next week.
I then have a mix for 45 Live to do, a live stream audio visual mix of my Kraftwerk Kover Kollection airs on July 18th and there's another very special mix which I've yet to record that will be getting a physical release at some point too but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Track notes:
Firstly, this tape actually dates from 1996, not 1995 as it says on the label. I know this for sure because not only did most of the records played come out in '96 but I remember taping this on my then girlfriend's stereo as it was broadcast. She later became my wife and we hadn't even met on this date in 1995 (my birthday funnily enough) so I'm pretty sure I labelled it wrongly.
Anyway, this was a good one, a proper headfuck of a mix, lots of trip hop – heavy beats, scratching, trippy sounds, electronics, tape loops and weird spoken word – that's trip hop in my book. Trouble Funk and As One bring the groove, Camping Gaz & Digi Random (actually from Spain, not Italy as Jon More says) bring the comedy and Scala (a little remembered offshoot of Seefeel with Locust's Mark Van Hoen producing) bring a distorted slice of filth called 'VDT'.
Richard Dorfmeister appears twice, remixing Alex Reece with partner Peter Kruder and in his Tosca guise, DJ Shadow gets a whole side of his Mo Wax Excursions release played, accompanied by frenzied scratches via a Bionic Boogie Breaks record and Kirk Degiorgio crops up again at the end. The As One tracks were from his album for Clear, 'The Message In Herbie's Shirts' which, I had an unlabelled test pressing of at the time so I didn't know the titles. I even impressed myself by playing Pauline Oliveros in 1996, her track 'I of IV' is from the same record as Reich's 'Come Out' which is then sampled in UNKLE's remix of Tortoise's 'Djed'.
The Up, Bustle & Out track is a real oddity, actually a remix by Gwen Jamois and a pre-Cinematic Orchestra Tom Chant who recorded under the name The Sycophants, they remodel it entirely into a skronky jazz track! Squarepusher shows up under his real name in the lesser-heard 'Squeak' from the Worm Interface 12" 'Bubble & Squeak'. This was on the shop Ambient Soho's label and there are three versions of it out there, a colour screen printed cover and B&W cover with crayons stuck to it, both my fellow Openmind designer, David Vallade. Then there's a third version designed by me with photos provided by Tom.

I know I've been going on about Bandcamp a lot lately but they really have turned out to be a saviour in the last months and more artists and labels from the independent sector seem to be getting on board, realising that the payments from streaming companies like Spotify and iTunes are never going to give them a return they can live on. The music industry was duped into believing that the revenue from the deals they signed would replace dwindling physical sales and here we are, with our content filling their apps for returns that make minimal wage the lap of luxury.
Today is Juneteenth (June 19th) a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. After giving all artists 100% of their sales revenue in recent months, Bandcamp have decided to give 100% of their own profits to the Legal Defence Fund for the next 24 hrs (PDT, so ending 8am tomorrow GMT). So if you want to buy new music and support artists via their platform them today is a good day to do it.
Here are some recommendations and recent purchases I made.
(above) Suzanne Ciani – Improvisation on Four Sequences at Festival Antigel – All Spatial Mixes
(below) The new release on Markey Funk's Delights label – Simf Onyx – Magenta Skyline / The Unresolved
Lo Five's brand new album – The Art of Living
The expanded edition of Eno's 'Neroli' – a great album in itself but expanded with a complete extra hour long bonus track. The physical 2xCD release of this goes for silly money but All Saints have their output on Bandcamp for easy purchase including all their expanded Eno releases.
Clipping's last two releases – There Existed An Addiction To Blood and The Deep.
I also recently picked some favourites from my BC collection for John Jervis' Carry On Bandcamping blog with links and recommendations – go here
Track notes:
Going through my CDRs this week to make them easier to sort, I tried to find a show that was close to this week's date. Worryingly there seems to be a batch of CDs yellowing around the edges so I should get them encoded before the CD rot sets in further.
This mid 2003 set from 17 years ago seems to have several links from some sort of meditation record which for the life of me I don't remember. Musically it's the era of great chart hip hop, reggae, silly mash ups and garage-y club bangers. Also there seem to be a couple of Marilyn Manson tracks nestled in there which I remember caused a few raised eyebrows at Ninja back then. The funk 45 craze was still unearthing treasure and the show opens with Serge Gainsbourg and Jean-Claude Vannier's incredible 'La Horse' which had just been reissued as part of DJ Oof's Cinemix project.
Nestled in the middle of the mix is a mash up I made under my Flexus alias called 'Bite My Salami' (there's a whole album's worth of these which I used to make for DJ sets). It layers Justin Timberlake's 'Rock Your Body', Queen's 'Another One Bites The Dust' and Pepe Deluxe's 'Salami Fever' and sort of works but really needs some of the guitar from Timberlake's tune. At the time you couldn't get the a cappella for this so I ended up buying the CD single and using the phase insertion trick with the vocal and instrumental versions to cancel out everything but the vocal. Then Sean Paul gets overlaid with a version from The Bug, it was a different time…

Geezers of Nazareth – Loving the Pole (pt 1)

This week's upload was requested by never_be_game_over who cited it as one his favourites. Titled 'Osy Kicks It Off' in reference to Osymyso who starts the show with a recording culled from another show at the time, XFM's The Remix. Why was I pulling audio from another programme? At this point in 2002 the bastard Pop / bootleg / mash up scene was in its early stages with a handful of physical bootleg records available but the majority of these creations existing purely online through sites like Boom Selection (run by a 14 year old school kid called The Dr but that's another story).
Eddy Temple-Morris and James Hyman's XFM show, The Remix, quickly became the place to showcase a lot of these tracks and host mixes by the leading lights of the scene, Osymyso being one of the originators alongside The Freelance Hellraiser and Cartel Communique who started the first London club exclusively playing mash ups. Originally named 'King of the Boots' before changing to the much more direct 'Bastard', this was a monthly event in a tiny, sweaty basement under a newsagent just off Tottenham Court Road in London's West End and were some of my favourite clubbing experiences ever. There's a brief clip of it at the start of this Swiss TV piece featuring Osy and myself DJing at Bastard, just look at that pre-mobile phone crowd.
Anyway, Osy's Intro-Inspection was a megamix made completely from intros of famous pop songs and the recording I pinched was the only way of getting it as it hadn't been pressed yet. It didn't occur to me to actually ask him for a digital copy even though we'd met years before and have since become great friends but I heard it and thought it was so brilliant that it had to be the show opener. You can hear Osy (Mark Nicholson to his mum) and James Hyman at the end and James even names checks Coldcut as being up next which is odd as I don't think they ever had an XFM show, maybe it was a guest mix, either way I thought I'd leave it in.
The rest of the show is a mix of current hip hop, both UK and US, which is in rude health by all accounts, mixed with trip hoppy experiments by the likes of Sirconical (on the then new Twisted Nerve label), Sixtoo, Money Mark and the first fruit from DJ Shadow's second LP, the incredible 'Monosyllabik' track, allegedly made from only two samples. Lightening the mood are more mash ups from Girls On Top feat The Sugarbabes (later to be a UK no.1), Pitman's take on Pharaoh Monch's 'Simon Says' and Wevie Stonder's sound effects guessing game. Whilst the US rap scene was embracing RnB and having crossover pop hits with the likes of The Neptunes and Timbaland the underground had gone back to the old school and was pioneering a much rawer composite of back to basics sampling exemplified by The P Brothers and their Heavy Bronx sound in the UK and Edan in the US. The early 90s was a golden age for music magazines too with the likes of Big Daddy and Wax Poetics picking up the baton land down by the Beastie Boys' short-lived Grand Royal mag and doing in-depth interviews with scene pioneers even as the music industry plummeted into the abyss of file sharing.

My customized turntable – the Quadraphon as I sometimes call it – is featured in the opening spread of this month's Electronic Sound magazine including a piece I wrote about it. Once again, the magazine is full of so much it's hard to know where to start – Suzanne Ciani, Sonic Boom, a tribute to Florian Schneider and a peek inside Neil Arthur's memorabilia collection as well as tech news, tons of reviews and an exclusive Suzanne Ciani 7″ if you subscribe to the double bundle each month. It's also still one of the best designed mags on the shelves.
But with a lot of major newsagents and record shops closed they're relying on subscriptions and mail order right now so if you've been meaning to take out a subscription then now's the time. There are also plenty of back issues and other vinyl in their online shop but those bundles sell out pretty fast.
Sometimes an artist's work stops you in your tracks and you have to put aside all current tasks to check them out. Today I saw Dieter Roth's work for the first time and it is stunning. These are spreads from his 'Kinderbuch' work (Children's Book) where shapes gets progressively smaller as the book unfolds and each page has a die cut showing parts of the next through it. He did a similar thing with the follow up, 'Bilder Buch' (Picture Book) which had transparent coloured film with die cuts that made different compositions when overlaid.
He also made books from overprinted printer's proof cast offs, comics with holes cut in them and op art designs, although those are harder to find decent images of.
I've got an exclusive mix of the De:tuned label's 10 year anniversary tracks airing on Belgian station WAV (We Are Various) tonight between 8pm-9pm (CET – 7pm in the UK) plus here's an interview about the mix & designing for the label. It should be on Soundcloud after so I'll add it in once it's premiered. UPDATE and here it is…
Track notes:
Side B of a mixtape created for a Floatation Centre in Brixton called Aquatonics who wanted a mix of continuous ambient music and sounds to play to their customers that would aid their floatation trips. Recorded live on two turntables and a basic CD player with no pitch control direct to this cassette in the house I shared with fellow Openmind associates David Vallade, Mario Aguera and Chantal Passamonte (later Mira Calix). The title was coined by David and was also used as a track title on Chantal's debut album for Warp.
This week I've dug out one of the original flyers used to advertise this in the Ambient Soho record shop, this was an incredibly early computer design by yours truly, probably one of the first. I think this was done on Mario's computer at his work as we didn't yet have one at the flat. He was a computer game programmer at that point (working on a game for Queen (the band) I seem to remember) and later worked with Hex creating visuals and animation for a game they were working on. The music selection is a pretty good representation of what we were playing at the Telepathic Fish parties at the time: The Orb (of course), Future Sound of London, Dreamfish (Mixmaster Morris & Pete Namlook), Sven Vath and a few side steps like ambient sections from ZTT and 4AD releases. We used to play bits of This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, Grace Jones and there's even a bit of U2 in there (!) There's also a fair bit of stuff that I just cannot work out in amongst the layers so if anyone spots anything I've missed then please comment.
There is one particular moment that makes me cringe on this side – at the end of an Orb mix of whale noises I'm playing over the 'Return' mix of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 'Warriors of the Wasteland', suddenly a fairground Wurlitzer strikes up the opening notes of 'I do like to be beside the seaside'. I wasn't paying attention whilst mixing with three decks and this caught me off guard, quickly being faded out before it could launch into full flow. It may have ruined a few floats… I used to have two copies of the Frankie tune and the intro to this mix is a lovely ambient piece before going into the full song, I would crossfade them together three of four times to extend the intro, sometimes at different speeds or pitches.
Track list:
The Orb – Back Side of the Moon
Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Well…
Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Warriors of the Wasteland (Return)
Grace Jones – The Crossing (Ohh The Action…)
Sven Vath – Caravan of Emotions
U2 – Mysterious Ways (Apollo 440 Magic Hour Remix)
Brian Eno – Lantern Marsh
System 7 – ?
The Orb – O.O.B.E.
This Mortal Coil – Filigree & Shadow
Kraftwerk – Europe Endless
Dreamfish – School of Fish
This Mortal Coil – Firebrothers
Future Sound of London – Papa New Guinea
Sven Vath – Caravan of Emotions
As you may have heard, Bandcamp, the online shopfront and streaming site for many independent labels and artists, have been having monthly Fridays since lockdown began where they give 100% of the revenue made to artists and forego their cut. Today is another of those days so I thought I'd compile a list of new releases and current personal favourites to check out if you can't see the wood for the trees.

If you're not signed up to Bandcamp it's easy and for any purchase you make, a digital version immediately goes into your online collection whereby you can then stream on your device or to portable speakers and the like via their app. Artists can sell merch as well as physical copies of their music, you can follow them and other users and explore their collections for recommendations. Here's mine https://bandcamp.com/strictlykev
Using the Quadraphon turntable, a customised deck with three additional arms, I remixed side D of Four Tet's 'Sixteen Oceans' album which contains only locked grooves. These grooves play one revolution infinitely, looping the sound, and played in multiple combinations with added FX you can create endless remixes. I call them 'Phonomontages' – two are released today via my label, Infinite Illectrik https://infiniteillectrik.bandcamp.com/
The final (I'm assured) part of the 10 Years of De:tuned release programme – after the initial ten 12″s, the special silver vinyl #10, the poster, the tote bags and the super-limited wooden slipcases for Touched Music – a repress of the entire series on coloured vinyl. Some of the originals sold out super fast and are now going for much more than anticipated so a final edition in a corresponding colour has been arranged.
Listen to the series here: https://soundcloud.com/detunedrecords/sets/10-years-de-tuned-l-de-10-01

Deejay: bit.ly/3dQwPty
Horizons: bit.ly/2WCfMWr
I've also done a special promo mix of a selection of tracks from across the series which can be heard here
Robert Fripp has been posting weekly tracks from his archives each Friday for the last five weeks under the banner 'Music For Quiet Moments'. So far they are beautiful examples of his ambient Frippertronics style mixed with synth and strings, ranging from six minute to nearly half an hour in length.
He plans to release one a week for 50 weeks in total and on the promise of the first five alone it should be an incredible body of work. You can hear and subscribe to them on his official YouTube channel (above) or buy them direct from his DGM site or Apple Music/iTunes.
As I recall (although the memory is vague) this mix was created for a Floatation Centre in Brixton called Aquatonics, they had one in Notting Hill as well apparently. I was approached by the guy who ran it (Mark, maybe?) who wanted a mix of continuous ambient music and sounds to play to his customers that would aid their floatation trips. This was whilst I was working at the Ambient Soho record shop on Berwick St. in London and it's possible he came into the shop to enquire. I certainly remember designing an A5 flyer that gave you £2 off your first float that we would hand out in the shop, part of which forms the inlay for this tape.
The selection is a pretty good representation of what we were playing at the Telepathic Fish parties at the time: The Orb, The Irresistible Force, FSOL, the Fax label, Global Communication, bits of This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, Eno, even Grace Jones, U2 and Frankie Goes To Hollywood crept in as my meagre student budget demanded that any corner of the collection was game.
Recorded live on two turntables and a basic CD player with no pitch control direct to this cassette in the house I shared with fellow Openmind associates David Vallade, Mario Aguera and Chantal Passamonte (later Mira Calix). There are some moments that make me cringe at their out of tune-ness but mixing in key was something only Mixmaster Morris did back then, I was still very much learning my craft after years of playing hip hop and party music. I never went for a float so have no idea how this went down but they asked for a follow up mix which will appear sometime in the future no doubt. The B side of this tape, 'Daydreaming At Night', follows next week.
Track list:
DJ Spike – Outer Land (Part One)
Sequential – The Mission (Live From The Outer Zone)
The Orb – The Blue Room
S'Xpress – Coma

The Shamen – Re:Evolution (Accapella Vox)
Track notes:
A live multi-deck and laptop set recorded at Shibuya FM in Toyko whilst on tour in Japan, 1996. Messy, scratchy, improvised turntable decknology mixing up ambient, jazz, drum n bass, electronica and other beats as only the Solid Steel crew can.
This was recorded on the evening of October 28th from my tour itinerary and ended a day of interviews. The itinerary says we did two sets which explains why it says Pt.1 on the tape. Not sure where Pt.2 went but I think I've seen the DAT of the whole thing somewhere, if I find it, it will appear here if it's any good. The set was fun and furious and Japan was a revelation as anyone who's been there will tell you.
This particular recording comes from a tape of a Solid Steel once we got back to the UK so I'd date the UK broadcast as somewhen in November 1996.
Track list:
Morton Subotnick – Silver Apples Of the Moon
Spacetime Continuum – Flouresence (on 45 rpm)
Photek – Rings Around Saturn
Miles Davis – Fast Track
Photek – K.J.Z.
DJ Food – Scratch Yer Hed (Squarepusher remix)
Kruder & Dorfmeister – Shakatakadoodub
The Herbaliser – A Mother (For Your Mind)
"Castles in Space brings you a stunning collection of new music recorded in isolation during the COVID19 lockdown – Released 29th May 2020

So this is to discuss differences between Catholic groups (as opposed to Christian groups that could include protestants, et.al.) post-"Great Schism", right?
I don't have a problem with the name change, of course I prefer Orthodox & Eastern/Roman Catholic Forum,the Eastern Catholics prefer some seperation from their Latin brethern which is another dilemma, latin paranoia I guess.
... it obviously applies to the the remaining four patriarchs of the original Pentarchy who remained true to the "One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church".
And to my friend, Azarus:Are you aware that even in today's Hellas (Greece) the citizens still refer to themselves as "Romans" as they did in the days of the Empire? Levity is fine and welcomed. "Grace" is the difficult task.
Levity is fine and welcomed. "Grace" is the difficult task.
Moreover, the canonical name of the Russian Orthodox Church is "Holy Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church".

Archie, a 41-year-old, 4000 pound rhinoceros at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens in Florida, managed to escape from his enclosure. Zoo workers were not able to lure Archie back to his pen with food — a tactic that worked years ago when he attempted escape once before.
Although out of his enclosure, the rhino was never near any of the zoo visitors because he was still fenced out of public areas. After sedating Archie, 20 zoo workers were able to lead him down a service road into his pen.
Zoo employees believe he was able to escape because the door to his enclosure was not secured properly.
