Happy 236th birthday, United States!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
So, here are my faves of the first half of 2012… and outside of the Top 5, it's all kind of random order on how I feel today… it's all bound to switch around by year's end (click album art for sound samples):
Artist – Album (style)
OSI – Fire Make Thunder (glitch prog)
Fiona Apple – The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do (jazzy pop)
Peter Mulvey – The Good Stuff (indie songwriter playing standards with a band)
Damien Jurado – Maraqopa (indie rock)
Celldweller – Wish Upon A Blackstar (electronica)
Sigur Rós – Valtari (ambient icelandic)
Emily Wells – Mama (chamber hip-pop)
Floratone – Floratone II (jazz)
s/s/s (Sufjan Stevens, Son Lux, Serengeti) – Beak & Claw -EP- (interesting)
Storm Corrosion (Steven Wilson & Mikael Akerfeldt) – Storm Corrosion (ethereal proggy departure)
John Zorn – The Gnostic Preludes (jazzy experimental)
John Zorn's Moonchild Trio (Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn & Joey Baron) with John Medeski – Templars (noise rock)
Earth – Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 2 (drone)
The Chance Brothers – Growing Concern (indie rock)
Regina Spektor – What We Saw From the Cheap Seats (pop)
Ani DiFranco – Which Side Are You On? (folk pop songwriter)
Buckethead – Electric Sea (gentler instrumental guitar)
Bad Veins – The Mess We've Made (indie rock)
Cosa Brava (Fred Frith, Carla Kihlstedt, etc) – The Letter (rootsy jazz adventure)
David Krakauer plays Masada Book Two – Book of Angels, Vol. 18 (Pruflas) (klezmer jazz)
I didn't get a few that already came out this year (yet) and whatever "et cetera" that the cool kids are listening to these days; but they may make it to the list at the end of the year.
The 2nd half of 2012 promises to bring some potential great ones, too… a few more from John Zorn, Mike Patton & Luciano Berio's Laborintus II, Ben Folds Five's reunion studio album, Ric Hordinski's Arthurs Garden (physical CD, though the download came out a bit ago), the Dusted debut from Holy Fuck's Brian Borcherdt, Erin McKeown's kickstarter, and I've heard rumors of a new Nellie McKay disc for the Fall.
Favorite concerts of 2012 (so far):
Penn & Teller and Cirque's Zumanity in Las Vegas, Jan 18th & 20th
Secret Chiefs 3 in Eugene & Portland, Feb 6th & 7th
Nellie McKay's I Want To Live! in Eugene & Portland, Mar 2nd & 4th
Puscifer in Portland, Mar 14th
Seun Kuti & the Egypt 80 in Eugene, Mar 18th
Radiohead in Seattle, April 9th
Roger Waters presents Pink Floyd's The Wall in Portland, May 22nd
Beck in Bend, May 27th

EARTH's Dylan Carlson – Wonders from the House of Albion
14th Jan 12 (Sat) Leave a comment
The frontman from sludge/drone/doom metal pioneer's EARTH is coming out with a solo album via Kickstarter…
(Dylan on the far left)
Dylan Carlson is creating his first major solo project outside of earth. There will be a limited edition lp/dvd/book and cd/dvd/book (500 of each format) and a special pressing of 150 copies (lp only) with personalized ex libris by Simon Fowler (who will also do the cover and end papers). The illustrations will be by Kiyo Lappalainen. The limited edition books will be pop-up style. There will also be an open edition with regular flat printing in a cd booklet and flat lp printing.
The recording will combine field recordings from various megalithic and other sites of human/fairy encounters across the UK, also the use of ritual and folkloric magical practices. The expedition will be filmed by Clyde Petersen. These recordings will be layered with Dylan's interpretations of classic Scotch-English ballads about human/fairy encounters from early modern England and Scotland (15th-18th century). It will also feature guest vocalists to sing the songs.
This is not being done through a label, as earth's output has, but is a labor of love/obsession of Dylan's. Being primarily of Scotch-English descent, this is an historical journey to his personal and cultural past, embracing music/folklore/the occult dimension and history. This is also result of personal experience's of 'the other side'. His blog has details, if interested. The field recordings will be accomplished in April-May of 2012. The rest of the recording/mastering will be finished in summer and early fall, the artwork is an ongoing process, already begun. Dylan is planning to have it all done for a May 2013 release. Join in the restoration of magic, a return to a world of spirits. Where all objects have a will of their own and a language they speak in, and we have learned how to speak with them again. It will be titled "Coleman Grey presents Falling with a Thousand Stars and Other Wonders from the House of Albion."
You can join in on the Kickstarter HERE. Despite the May 2013 release date, this project needs funding by February 12th, 2012.

* Favorite Instrumental Albums of 2011 *
31st Dec 11 (Sat) Leave a comment
As I start this post, I will say that this is all very subjective and really put together for my own purposes. I'll also state that, yes, some of the music below does have some vocals (i.e.- the Goddamn Electric Bill & Mike Patton CDs). For the most part, it's sequestered to a track or two on a long CD of mostly instrumental goodness. My list, my rules, and/or my breaking of the rules. With that being said, all of the artists below tend to be in the jazz and instrumental frame of reference anyway.
As said before… I've been buying less music… or, at least a lot less mainstream (major label) music. This is also my fourth year now that I bought more instrumental CDs than vocal CDs. I think as I get older, I am drawn more towards jazz and other instrumental forms of expression. Hopefully my spilling out of music that I like finds interest with someone else. But if not, thanks for stopping by… check out the artists' webpages, Facebox pages, yadda yadda yadda. Some of these also made it on to my 2011 Mix CD (free streaming/download).
OK, now on to the best of what's hit my ears this year…
Cyro Baptista's Banquet of Spirits plays John Zorn's Masada Book Two: Book of Angels, Vol. 17 (Caym) :: The Masada Book two series is some of my favorite music coming out of Tzadik. Banquet of the Spirits is the touring band of Latin percussionist Cyro Baptista, a long time Zorn collaborator. Each track touches upon a different world tradition, steeped in Zorn's klez-jazz score. Lyrical and moving and fun!
Artichaut Orkestra – T For Teresa :: Featuring four young musicians from Toulouse, Artichaut Orkestra mix jazz, klezmer and classical music, blending rock energy with improv. This is their debut record, and I'm definitely looking forward to more coming from them in the near future.
Curtis Macdonald – Community Immunity :: To be honest, this was an impulse purchase. One of my favorite record labels is Greenleaf Music – founded by my favorite living trumpet-player Dave Douglas. I was picking up some new music from DD and figured, "eh, what the hell!" I was impressed with Curtis' melodic compositions and emotive alto sax playing.
Mogwai – Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will :: Stunning double-disc set from post-rock's Scottish kings. I'll still probably forgo seeing them live again (too loud, beyond their needs), but they put out some amazingly beautiful music.
(3 CDs) John Zorn – Nova Express / At the Gates of Paradise / A Dreamer Christmas :: Three discs made the cut of the six Zorn releases in 2011. Nova Express combines quirky atonal classical lyricism with a touch of the cut up techniques of Naked City and virtuosity of the Masada songbook. Zorn scored this for Joey Baron (drums), Trevor Dunn (bass), John Medeski (piano), and Kenny Wollesen (vibes). Paradise features the same band as Nova Express, brings some Medeski organ into the mix and adds more of Zorn's "mystical" ambiance. The Dreamer Christmas album was an oddity for me. Why would a Jewish jazz musician put out a Christmas album? Because he can! The Dreamers is one of my favorite Zorn-assembled ensembles: Joey Baron (drums), Cyro Baptista (percussion), Trevor Dunn (bass), Marc Ribot (guitars), Jamie Saft (keys), and Kenny Wollesen (vibes). Very accessible, but not smooth jazz! Adventurous! Mike Patton joins them on the final track for a croon-y "chestnut roasting." The holiday album was also put out as a 12″ vinyl and a 7″ single – both with gorgeous artwork and design by Chippy.
yMusic – Beautiful Mechanical :: The yMusic Ensemble had a kickstarter earlier this year for their debut album – with songs composed by Son Lux, Annie Clark, Shara Worden (aka My Brightest Diamond), Saraha Kirkland snider (who penned a favorite album Penelope last year), and Gabriel Kahane. Their string-heavy, indie chamber rock approach excites me. Being the musical backdrop for My Brightest Diamond's All Things Will Unwind album (my #2 vocal album in 2011) doesn't hurt.
Peter Mulvey & David Goodrich – Nine Days Wonder :: Peter Mulvey has toured all over the US and the world for about 2 decades. Some of the first times I saw him in concert, he had "Goody" with him on backing guitar. They don't get a chance to tour together much lately, but they did find some time to hole-up inside a studio to write and record some instrumental guitar duets. While I love Peter's vocal storytelling, it's nice to hear his and Goody's instrumental interplay tell a different story.
Goddamn Electric Bill – Jazz :: GdEB is the one-man brainchild of Jason Torbert. He hits the spot for organic electronic meets post-rock for me. Ambient at times, melodic other times. His latest work has featured some vocals, but he's primarily a groove-induced soundscape kind of guy. Chirps and glitches, too. Excellent stuff!
The Dead Kenny G's – Operation Long Leash :: The Dead Kenny Gs is a duo started by saxophonist Skerik and drummer/vibes Mike Dillon in 2004. shortly thereafter, they started adding Brian Haas, keyboard genius, when he is able, as well as Brad Houser, bassist from another Skerik band – Critters Buggin. They push through the jazz/rock minefield to fight "injustice, cheese, and dishonesty in music, and society."
Talkdemonic – Ruins :: Portland-based chamber-indie-post-rock… goodness. So much sound from two people. If you're in Portland, they're playing a big NYE show tonight… if in Eugene, they'll be through our way (at Sam Bond's) on Feb 24th. Not to be missed!
Mike Patton – The Solitude of Prime Numbers :: I had to put this album as #13. This chiefly instrumental album is a tribute to the book (by Paolo Giordano) and film of the same name. The score is 16 tunes spread out over a 53 tracks, with the only tracks with content being 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, and 53. *slow clap* Clever, Mr. Patton! For people who bought the CD, you can thank me for entering in the info to CDDB (t'was a pain). The score/album fits more with his prior score for A Perfect Place – more accessible when compared to Patton's usual schizophrenic output. The packaging design is also brilliant – a gorgeous die-cut leaf that fold outwards. I'd always recommend getting physical releases from Ipecac versus the digital download version.
Garage A Trois – Always Be Happy, But Stay Evil :: Skerik, Stanton Moore, Marco Benevento (who replaced Charlie Hunter) and Mike Dillon make their way through Oregon quite a bit. They are a sight to see – you don't know exactly what kind of show you'll get, but it's definitely a fun time. Fun, groove-oriented "new jazz."
Explosions in the Sky – Take Care, Take Care, Take Care :: If not jazz, this list is also overtaken by post-rock. it's a love of mine, and Explosions in the Sky are one of the best in that game. Epic, sweeping guitars crashing over a hearty drum & bass end. This is another album where I'd recommend the physical edition – the case can be unfolded to form a model of a house, where if viewed from the inside, the view from the door of the house is overlooking a tornado across a plain.
Erik Friedlander – Bonebridge :: I started 2011 seeing Erik perform his John Zorn-penned Volac album in its entirety… brilliant and moving. Later in the year, he came out with Bonebridge – a new band/concept that takes his Broken Arm Trio (with Trevor Dunn & Mike Sarin) and adds slide guitar player Doug Wamble to the mix. What you get is a perfect chamber-Americana-jazz album. I hope there are more where this came from…
Kevin Moore – Shine (Küçük Kıyamet Soundtrack) :: Kevin Moore's main projects are the trippy/sample-heavy Chroma Key & heavier prog collaboration band O.S.I. (with Jim Matheos). Shine is the soundtrack to the 2006 Turkish film Küçük Kiyamet ("Little Apocalypse"). It came out in early 2011 after a successful Kickstarter in 2010. The next album from O.S.I. comes out in February 2012 on Metal Blade. I can almost guarantee it will be my Top album of 2012, and I haven't heard a shred of it yet.
Reptet – At the Cabin :: This Seattle-based jazz sextet is fuuuuuuuuuun – both on record and in the live setting. I wish the distance on I-5 between me and them wasn't 5-6 hours, as I'd see them far more often if I could.
Matt Chamberlain, Viktor Krauss, Dan Phelps – Modular: Sonic Explorations :: Gorgeous soundscapes from Matt Chamberlain, Viktor Krauss, and Dan Phelps. The Modular Project is the collaboration of the aforementioned musicians working together to "discover what the spontaneous and organic manipulation of sound can yield. Inspired by the world around them, they set out to discover what it might sound like when continents shift, clouds form, and roots push through soil." The track, "Everest," features one of my favorite cellists – Eyvind Kang (who has worked with Secret Chiefs 3, John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Mike Patton). It's a great mix of cello, vibes and soaring atmosphere. The album is only available digitally or on vinyl (it's a luscious triple-gatefold!)…
(3 CDs)
Dave Douglas – Three Views: GPS Series – Rare Metals, Orange Afternoons & Bad Mango :: Originally released as the "Greenleaf Portable Series" (download only), these three different releases in 2011 finally got a proper physical (boxset) release. Dave's prolific writing comes out with different bands on each record: Rare Metals features Dave's most recent band Brass Ecstasy; Orange Afternoons features a specially put together quintet with Ravi Coltrane, Vijay Iyer, Linda Oh, and Marcus Gilmore; and Bad Mango paired Dave's trumpet with So Percussion's marimba, drumset, glockenspiel, musical saw, toy bells, shruti box, crotales, and more. Three very different records tied together with Dave's fantastic playing.
Tides From Nebula – Earthshine :: This Polish post-rock group won my heart in 2009 with their debut, Aura (in 2009). They continue to tease me with emails or news that says "tour" until I open and can't pronounce the names of the cities that they're hitting. Drat! At least their music will keep me company! Earthshine is perfect for those fans of Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, and the like… and seeing as it beat out both those groups on my 2011 list, well, that should tell you something as well.
Michael Kelsey – Submerged :: Michael Kelsey is a HUGE amount of what I miss from the Midwest music scene. He's a musical genius – rarely paralleled on the frets. Seeing him live (which I did any chance I could) was a site to behold. His records do their best to capture his virtuosity, but they usually fail to capture his energy, too. Catching fire in a bottle is tough. Regardless, this one is a gem and also marks his first all instrumental affair. Check him out, and if you live within a state or two from central Indiana, I count you a lucky one. Go see him if he stops by your town.
Earth – Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1 :: More riff-oriented and melodic compared to the prior drone doom albums, Earth bring a cello into the mix for the first time and create an ominous soundscape that is both elegant and dreadful. The follow-up, Angels & Demons 2, comes out in Feb 2012… and you can almost guarantee it'll rise to the top of my list next year as well.
Note: Ric Hordinski's Arthur's Garden (which made it on my 2011 Mix) is technically a 2012 release, hence its absence above.
Where do I get most of these jazz and other instrumental releases? My #1 favorite source for jazz is Downtown Music Gallery in New York. Manny and Bruce and their great staff are superb… and being the official distributor for John Zorn's Tzadik doesn't hurt my affection for them. I usually do a monthly Tzadik order (if the releases strike my fancy), and they have a ton of other non-Tzadik jazz and avant-garde releases as well.
And, no, I'm not affiliated, I don't get a commission, and beyond my initial "big tax refund / gotta get caught up on Zorn order of 2005," I haven't gotten a discount with DMG. I just love and support what they do.
Enjoy the New Years' weekend!! Be safe! See you in 2012.

Radiohead – The King of Limbs (anti-radio rock)

Trey Parker & Matt Stone / Original Cast Recording – The Book of Mormon (sacrilegious broadway)
Elysian Fields – Last Night on Earth (lusty indie-pop)
Iron & Wine – Kiss Each Other Clean (whispy indie rock)
I didn't get a few that already came out this year (yet)… the new Hiromi, Gangpol & Mit, and whatever "et cetera" that the cool kids are listening to these days; but they may make it to the list at the end of the year.
The 2nd half of 2011 promises to bring some potential great ones, too… a few more from John Zorn, (including The Dreamers Xmas CD & the Rovo Sax Quartet collaboration), Secret Chiefs 3 Book of Souls (maybe), Maynard James Keenan's Puscifer (2nd album), some digital releases from A Perfect Circle, the doomy Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Opeth's 70s throwback album, Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson's 2nd solo album, My Brightest Diamond is wrapping up one in the studio (will it be out in 2011?), Ani DiFranco always has something coming out (it's been a while though), probably something from one of Mike Patton's other bands (Fantômas live DVD, Tomahawk's 4th album, more?), and I'm sure another dozen or more that I'll dig from Tzadik.
Erik Friedlander plays John Zorn's Masada Book Two – The Shedd, Eugene, Jan 8th

2011 anticipated albums
30th Dec 10 (Thu) Leave a comment
So, the year end recaps are in process (instrumental list maybe later today or Friday) … I needed something to fill the gap… here are some artists who are expecting to release new material in 2011 (some are carryovers from 2010's anticipation), all of which I'm looking forward to…
Kevin Moore's Shine (digital out now, CDs en route), dredg has one due at the end of March, Over the Rhine's The Long Surrender, Earth's Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1 (in February), Iron & Wine's Kiss Each Other Clean, Mogwai's Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will, Reptet's At the Cabin, My Brightest Diamond's as of yet untitled (she's in the studio), a bunch of new stuff from John Zorn, Derek Webb's Democracy Vol 2 (10 cover songs for 2011), maybe the Secret Chiefs 3 will finally release Book of Souls (it's their "Chinese Democracy"), Eisley's The Valley, Jelly Jam with Ty Tabor of King's X/John Myung of Dream Theater/Rod Morgenstein of Dixie Dregs, Goddamn Electric Bill's Jazz, A.N.M. featuring Doug Pinnick of King's X and Jimi Hazel of 24-7 Spyz, Ken Andrew and Co's Digital Noise Academy (maybe), Silverchair are working on one (didn't hit in 2010), Radiohead have put in studio time in 2010 (maybe something out by year's end), Glen Phillips likely has a few in the hopper (RemoteTreeChildren #2? new Toad? new WPA? new solo?), Opeth is in the studio, Steven Wilson with Mike Portnoy & Mikael Akerfeldt (of Opeth) too, Sufjan Stevens tribute album (due out in March), more chapters from Celldweller's Wish Upon a Blackstar, new tracks from Billy & Maynard's A Perfect Circle, Mike Patton's electronic Fantômas or Peeping Tom #2, and… Ani DiFranco – I mean, it's inevitable… right? Well, not always, she totally missed 2010 (as of now, no studio albums out in 821 days / 257 since a live EP on Record Store Day 2010).
Plus many more great albums due out in 2011, I'm sure.

Earth's new album
4th Dec 10 (Sat) Leave a comment
Sludge metal, drone craftsman Earth come back with a new album in February called Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1. This follows up their stupendous 2008 album, The Bees Made Honey in the Lion Skull. Angels/Demons comes out on Southern Lord, and frontman Dylan Carlson and percussionist Adrienne Davies brought in former Nirvana cellist Lori Goldston and K Records artist Karl Blau to join the lineup. Classic 1993 album Earth 2 producer Stuart Hallerman is again at the controls.
Father Midnight
Descent to the Zenith
Hell's Winter
Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1
This album is definitely high on my anticipation list for 2011. They've been around for a long time, but I didn't get into them until 2008 with Bees Made Honey…, and then I saw them at WOW Hall in June 2008. Brilliant show.

obliquity of the ecliptic
24th Dec 09 (Thu) 1 comment
"obliquity of the ecliptic is the
reason for the season."
On today, tomorrow, and the next 180 or so days, have a wonderful day that is now longer than the day before. If there's anything else going on this weekend… well, have fun. Hopefully you are warm, fed, and with loved ones.
Oh, and if you celebrate Christmas, here's a traditional Icelandic Christmas song for you, covered by Sigur Rós [courtesy of SR's official webpage]:
ég fæ jólagjöf (original) <- listen to this one first
ég fæ jólagjöf (Sigur Rós's cover, live in 1999) <- much different
♪♫ ég fæ jolagjöf
jólajólagjöf
einn pakka frá afa og ömmu
og líka frá pabba og mömmu ♪♫
And finally… don't eat the red snow…
~Dan – np: Dave Douglas & Brass Ecstasy – Spirit Moves
PS- the quote at the top of the page is an adaptation of one of Mr. George Hrab's funny tweets…

If you aren't aware, there have been many recent claims about Bang energy drink that has managed to catch the attention of many consumers. Bang products are sold every day in the USA, with claims to not only give their consumers better health, but also cure disease. Although I understand that brands will market their products in such a way to attain maximum profits, Bang has gone as far as to make crazy claims that their energy drink can cure Alzheimer's disease (what?!) to make more in sales. Bang currently has 8 active lawsuits which isn't surprising with the false claims they are making to their consumers. Keep reading for some of the claims made about Bang by the owner, Jack Owoc CEO VPX Sports.
When a product contains an innovative new ingredient it can be patented. The process of obtaining a patent is lengthy; and rightfully so. Once you obtain a patent, you have exclusive rights to this "invention". You have to explain exactly how it works and a lot of due diligence is done. The US patent office has rejected and cancelled all of the patents submitted for Super Creatine. That bothers me. However, what bothers me even more is that Jack Owoc continues to mislead the public into thinking that they are drinking an ingredient that has gone through the patent process by advertising a patent ribbon and number. This is false advertising.
You guys, I can't make this up. Bang claims that they can not only reverse mental retardation, but they can also help cure Alzheimer's disease, although it has not yet been proven. So at this time, Bang can not reverse mental retardation or cure forms of dementia. However, Bang has been proven to bring about behavioral changes and even hallucinations when consumers are under the influence of the Bang.
Bang prides themselves in stating that they have a considerably high amount of BCAAs and CoQ10 in their products. Recent studies have shown that the amount of BCAA in a can is .15 grams in according to VPX test, which is a hundred times lower than stated by Bang. Therefore, BCAAs and CoQ10 present in bang are very minimal amounts which cannot cause a significant impact on the human body.
For more information on the truth about Bang, read this.

No doubt this will be the dominant color in the Zandvoort grandstands next year."READ: Formula One's rising star sparks Dutch adorationAlthough born and raised in Belgium and now living in Monaco, there was never any doubt Verstappen would eventually race under the Dutch flag.The 21-year-old has become so popular, he now has his very own "Max Verstappen Stand" at race venues in Belgium, Austria, Hungary and Germany, where thousands of orange-clad and beer-swigging Dutch fans come to sing and cheer on their countryman.In the 2017 season, more than 60,000 Orange fans traveled to Belgium to see Verstappen race at Spa-Francorchamps.

Do I believe this can be an amazing person, truly worthy of your hopes and dreams? Of course there is always the chance you could meet The One in a supermarket or library. In those circumstances, too, it's hard to know whether the person you meet is actually single. I don't understand why more mature men do not take advantage of spas; they're fabulous opportunities for singles.When you hang out informally with women and get to know them in classes and over group dinners, you have a great chance to become friendly without too much pressure.Sailing clubs usually have more male than female members, and after races, they often hold informal dinners where people mix and swap stories.

Q: absolute path in static compiled library removing sorry I know it is repeated and it is similar to this question but there was only one answer which doesn't satisfy the objective :)
The compilation of uamqp library is pretty easy. I end up with 2 static libraries to be used when linking in my project in eclipse. During run time and if an error happens, the error message shows the path, where the static libraries are originally compiled. I get something like this:
Error: Time:Tue May 22 09:04:45 2018 File:/home/hostname/azure-uamqp-c/src/saslclientio.c Func:on_underlying_io_error Line:243 Error callback received in unexpected state

I have no problem with the error message. The issue is only when the error occurs, then it shows the path /home/hostname/azure-uamqp-c/saslclientio.c
Please how can I compile the uamqp library, so that no absolute paths are stored inside? is it a cmake command option that I do have to configure?
Thanks

A: Message "Error callback received in unexpected state" is emitted by LogError() call, and LogError macro eventually uses preprocessor expression __FILE__ for refer to the path of source file.
According to that answer, expression __FILE__ is expanded to path, which is passed in compiler's command line.
Unfortunately, CMake always uses absolute paths for source files when pass them to the compiler. So there is no easy way for generate relative paths in logs.
You may write a wrapper around compiler, which transforms absolute paths to relative and calls compiler.

Have I told you lately . . . that Rod Stewart's coming to Bolton?
By Mike Crutchley
GET out your handbags and gladrags — Rod Stewart will be sailing into Bolton next summer.
The Scottish rocker will bring his Live in Concert tour to the University of Bolton Stadium on Friday, June 14, the final date in a series of concerts to be held at football stadiums around the UK.
It is the latest big-name to come to the stadium after The Killers and Little Mix played to sell-out crowds there in the summer.
The tour will be Rod's first in three years and will feature many classic hits plus songs from his new album, Blood Red Roses.
The announcement follows sold-out concerts this summer at the stadium from Little Mix and The Killers.
Suzanne Speak, general manager of Bolton Whites Hotel, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Rod Stewart to the University of Bolton Stadium next summer.
"After staging two successful concerts this summer, our venue is back on the map from a live music point of view.
"We believe it's the first time Rod has been back to Bolton for over 50 years and we are certain that everybody will have a fantastic time."
It is believed Rod last visited Bolton as a member of the group Steampacket.
One of the most successful singers of all time, Rod Stewart has sold more than 200 million records worldwide in a career that spans six decades.
Now 73, he has had more than 30 hit singles in the UK and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 2016, he officially became Sir Rod Stewart after being knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace for his services to music and charity.
The fully seated tour is being promoted by Cuffe and Taylor whose director, Peter Taylor, said: "We are delighted to be announcing Rod Stewart Live In Concert.
"As his fans know, Rod presents the most amazing shows. He continues to play to huge audiences across the globe and it is an absolute pleasure to once again be taking him across the UK once to reach tens of thousands of people who will have the most incredible night watching him perform live."

system on chip (SoC)
MWC 2022: Qualcomm announces "world's first" 5G AI and Wi-Fi 7 chips
The Snapdragon X70 5G and the FastConnect 7800 are expected to be included in commercial devices in the second half of 2022
by: Sabina Weston
Qualcomm has announced the launch of a 5G AI-integrated modem-RF as well as a Wi-Fi 7 system-on-a-chip (SoC).
MWC 2022: Lenovo unveils its first Arm-based ThinkPad boasting 29 hour battery life
MWC 2022: Huawei's Super Device ecosystem lets business users work seamlessly across devices
Wi-Fi 7 and XR to set the agenda at MWC 2022
Both offerings are the first of their kind globally, the American semiconductor giant said on Monday at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress, which returned to the Fira for the first time since 2019.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon X70 5G modem-RF system is equipped with an integrated artificial intelligence (AI) processor with the aim of "fuelling a new era" of intelligent 10-Gigabit 5G connectivity.
The addition of AI will bolster Qualcomm's Snapdragon X70 5G with contextual awareness and personalisation at scale, allowing for "intelligent, intuitive, and automated actions". This includes up to 30% improved context detection for higher average speeds and coverage enabled by AI-based adaptive antenna tuning.
The X70 5G will also be able to improve its performance through continued self-learning, allowing it to adapt to new and diverse services, spectrum, and deployments. It's part of Qualcomm's long-term 5G evolution plan that will enable advanced 5G use cases with AI and machine learning (ML) data-driven designs, including extended reality (XR) and 5G New Radio (NR), which is used in Internet of Things (IoT) and automotives.
Qualcomm also revealed the "world's first" Wi-Fi 7 integrated 2x2 mobile connectivity SoC – the FastConnect 7800. With dual Wi-Fi antennas, peak speeds of 5.8 Gbps, and a latency of less than two milliseconds, Qualcomm described the chip as "the fastest and most advanced mobile connectivity system" and will be used to power XR, social gaming, edge compute, as well as the Metaverse.
Delivering on demand: Momentum builds toward flexible IT
A modern digital workplace strategy
The FastConnect 7800 is expected to be the first Wi-Fi 7 solution to ship in commercial products, and is likely to be seen in offerings from Acer, Asus Phone, Honor, Oppo, Xiaomi, and Tencent.
Both the Snapdragon X70 5G and the FastConnect 7800 are currently in the sampling stages and are expected to be included in commercial devices in the second half of 2022.
The announcement comes on the first day of the 2022 Mobile World Congress – two weeks after Qualcomm revealed that it is "working closely with all the IEEE and WFA members to finalise Wi-Fi 7".

Endless Hours at Sea, 2014, 2016
Video, sound and light installation, water, stainless steel, aluminium, mechanics, LED light and air compression
Endless Hours at Sea is an exploration of the tempestuous emotional and psychological relationship humankind has with water. Seas and oceans have often been regarded as territories to be charted and conquered. Yet to actually voyage on watery expanses is to exist in a liminal space: always a 'somewhere' between leaving and arriving, and a 'nowhere' forever surrounded by ever-changing waters and weather conditions. This multimedia installation brings together material Atienza recorded from four oceanic journeys on cargo ships, and immerses the viewer in the constant state of flux that characterises life on board these vessels. As more than 400,000 Filipinos work 'overseas', this is an artistic journey that also finds echoes in the experiences of many of her countrymen. Endless is ultimately a work that reverberates close to home for Atienza – almost all of her family is involved in the maritime industry, including her grandfather who was a lighthouse keeper.
PHILIPPINES/NETHERLANDS
The work of Martha Atienza (b. 1981, Manila, the Philippines) is sociological in nature, reflecting a keen observation of her immediate environment. She understands her surroundings as a landscape of people, first and foremost, and is currently investigating the usage of art as a tool for effecting social change and development. Atienza received her BFA from the AKI Academy of Art and Design in Enschede, the Netherlands and has participated in the art programme at the Kuvataideakatemia of the University of the Arts Helsinki, Finland. In 2015, she received the Thirteen Artists Award from the Cultural Center of the Philippines, and in 2012, she received the Ateneo Arts Award, with residency grants in Liverpool, Melbourne, New York and Singapore. In 2016, she was the recipient of the first Mercedes Zobel/Outset residency at the gallery Gasworks in London. She lives and works in Bantayan Island, the Philippines and Rotterdam, the Netherlands.


Cir-Kit Concepts is a small, family-owned business located in Rochester, Minnesota. In the days prior to Cir-Kit Concepts' existence, wiring a dollhouse was a technically challenging endeavor. It required not only knowledge of electricity but experience in the use of woodworking tools as well. In a real house, wiring is installed in hollow walls during the construction phase and later covered with wallboard. In a dollhouse, however, the walls are made of solid plywood or MDF, requiring that the wiring be surface mounted. Originally, this meant that grooves had to be routed for all wiring runs. After the wires were in place and the electrical connections made, filler would be placed over the wires and sanded flush. It was a task relished by few.
In 1975, Vern Skare, founder of Cir-Kit Concepts, was faced with this same dilemma. Because of his electronics background, he was asked to wire a relative's dollhouse. It turned out to be one of the most daunting tasks he had ever undertaken. He knew there had to be a simpler way and that many other miniaturists must share the same issues. In researching the problems, Vern discovered that burglar alarm systems (at that time) used flat copper foil as conductive paths on window surfaces. The only problem was that a single foil conductor was used, whereas for dollhouse wiring, a two-conductor system was required. With this in mind, Mr. Skare embarked on developing a tape containing two parallel copper foils.
By early 1976, the product had been engineered and manufactured, and Cir-Kit Concepts was launched. This method of miniature dollhouse wiring became an immediate sensation and contributed greatly to the miniatures boom of the 80's and 90's. Since its introduction, tape wire has become the wiring method of choice worldwide for anyone wishing to wire a dollhouse.
Of course tapewire, by itself, does not complete an electrical installation. Other electrical accessories such as "to scale" outlets, plugs, and switches are also necessary and these were developed early on in the company's history. On an international note, Cir-Kit Concepts also realized that to become truly global it must provide products compatible with the electrical requirements of both Europe and Asia. To that end, Cir-Kit manufactures transformers (the heart of all 12 volt requirements) to work on 220/240 power used in these countries. In addition, they carry the necessary electrical approvals from the controlling government agencies in England and on the Continent. Most recently, Cir-Kit has also introduced a collection of high-quality, beautiful 12V light fixtures. Miniatures.com is proud to have Cir-Kit Concepts as one of our vendor partners and to carry many items from the Cir-Kit line!

The genius of this dish, known as xató in Catalunya, Spain, is the way the rich, nutty sauce combines with the salty chunks of fish and the satisfying crunch of escarole. A loaf of crusty bread is essential to mop up the delicious sauce left at the bottom of your plate. Any leftover sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week. Serve it drizzled over roast meats or vegetables.
1. To desalt the salt cod, put it in a bowl and add cold water to cover, cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 days, changing the water once a day.
2. To make the sauce, in a dry, heavy fry pan, toast the almonds over medium heat until browned, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate to cool.
3. Sprinkle the bread with the vinegar. Using a large mortar and pestle, grind together the almonds, hazelnuts, garlic, peppers, and the vinegar-soaked bread until a thick, reddish paste forms. (Alternatively, process the ingredients together in a food processor, making sure the mixture remains coarse.) Add the olive oil in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sauce is just liquid enough to be poured. Season with salt and set aside.
4. Drain the salt cod. Remove any bones and skin, then shred the meat with your fingers into thin strips. Cut or tear the anchovy fillets into strips. Put the salt cod, anchovies and tuna in a bowl, add the tomatoes and olives, and toss to combine. Pour over enough of the sauce to coat everything thickly and toss again.
5. Just before serving, in a large salad bowl, toss the escarole with the salt cod mixture. Serve immediately. Serves 6.
Yummy. A great recipe to love.
Looks delicious! I will try to cook it with best outdoor deep fryers. Wish me luck!

Media, Politics
The Problem With Narrative
This week, The New York Times caved to online bullying and changed a headline for an article covering President Donald Trump's remarks after the horrible shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. The original headline, "Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism," was met with outrage on social media by those on the left.
During the day, the hashtag #CancelNYT began trending. The headline was changed to "Assailing Hate but Not Guns." So, if the headline was initially wrong, what did Trump say on Monday in response to the shootings?
Trump noted that the El Paso shooter had "posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate," and the president called for national unity. "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy," Trump said. "These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul." Appears the first headline was accurate.
Trump then laid out action steps that could be taken: "First, we must do a better job of identifying and acting on early warning signs," he said. "Second, we must stop the glorification of violence in our society … Third, we must reform our mental health laws to better identify mentally disturbed individuals who may commit acts of violence … Fourth, we must make sure that those judged to pose a grave risk to public safety do not have access to firearms."
He closed with a call for "the Department of Justice to propose legislation ensuring that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the death penalty." His call for unity, beefed up by specific action steps, was met with outrage from political opponents and a successful push to change the headline.
So, what led those on the left to call for a different headline? The narrative they believe is that Trump is a racist. The belief in this narrative is so strong that any information in conflict with this belief must be ignored and anything that supports this belief must be true, even if it is not.
As I write in my upcoming book, "Our Broken America: Why Both Sides Need to Stop Ranting and Start Listening," all too often, "we take in information and then attempt to make it fit something we already believe and understand; we search for facts to support what we already believe to be true."
Let's take the left's belief that Trump is a bad/racist person:
Last year, the New York Daily News printed a picture of a child at the border crying behind her mother. For those who follow the narrative, it's Trump's fault.
Then, there was the picture of a child in a cage that trended on Twitter. For those who follow the narrative, it's Trump's fault.
Then a picture of a bus outfitted with children's seats circulated. For those who follow the narrative, it's Trump's fault.
None of these was Trump's fault.
The child was never separated from her mother and was brought to the United States by her mother without her father's knowledge. The child in the cage was part of a protest, and it was a staged cage. The bus was purchased in the Obama administration. All of the assumptions about Trump were wrong. But still the narrative continues: It must be Trump's fault.
What is not talked about? Actions. The Trump administration forgave $322 million of debt for four historically black colleges and universities: Dillard University of New Orleans; Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Tougaloo College of Jackson, Mississippi; and Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans. Trump signed the First Step Act, comprehensive criminal justice reform. He has created economic "opportunity zones" to revitalize inner cities.
But these actions don't fit the narrative.
The challenge for those on the right is that while the narrative is not true, as noted by the examples above, it's the prevalent way many voters organize information in their mind. Sadly, it has now extended not only to Trump but to those who support him.
On Tuesday, Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, tweeted the names and corporate affiliations of 44 Trump donors in his district, claiming their donations are "fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as 'invaders.'" Castro's twin brother, Julian, is a Democratic presidential candidate.
The Democrats are fueling a campaign of hate against anyone who disagrees with them or doesn't believe their narrative, no matter the facts.
The problem with following a narrative is that the real work gets left by the wayside. We should focus on actions rather than narrative.

Axel Eduard Hjorth Nielsen (født 30. december 1880 i København, død 22. maj 1951 i Gentofte) var en dansk nationaløkonom. Han blev dr.phil i 1908 og var professor ved Københavns Universitet fra 1911 til 1951 og rektor for samme 1935-1936.

Akademisk karriere
Nielsen var søn af pianoforteinstrumentmager J. Nielsen (død 1890) og hustru f Rønne (død 1890). Axel Nielsen beskæftigede sig med økonomisk historie, herunder industrihistorie og pengepolitik. I 1905 besvarede han Universitetets prisopgave, og fik universitetets guldmedalje for en afhandling om prisbevægelsen i Danmark 1650-1750, og hvor af de væsentligste partier senere blev trykt i Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik (III Folge, Band 31, 1906). I dette arbejde indsamlede og bearbejdede han et betydeligt trykt og utrykt materiale, som han benyttede med forsigtighed og under udøvelse af kildekritik, så at det trods sine mangler kunne tjente til at uddybe kendskabet til tidens prisudvikling. I 1906 fik Axel Nielsen ansættelse på Det kongelige Bibliotek, hvor han i 1908 blev assistent og i 1910 underbibliotekar.

Med afhandlingen Specier, Kroner og Kurant, en Studie over den faldende Rigsdalerværdi i Danmark 1671— 1726 fik han i 1908 tildelt den statsvidenskabelige doktorgrad. Doktordisputatsen var en grundig redegørelse for udmøntningen i den pågældende periode, og der gives her for første gang en beregning de danske penges intervalutariske værdi, især i forhold til den hamborgske Bancothaler. Vægten er lagt på at udrede de på grund af tidens møntforhold delvis meget indviklede beregninger mens eftersporelsen af årsagerne til de konstaterede forhold tillægges mindre vægt.

I 1937 fik han overdraget ansvaret for udgivelsen af det af Otto Mønsteds Fond bekostede store værk om Industriens Historie Danmark. Selv forestod han skildringen af dansk industris udvikling mellem 1820 og 1870, der blev så omfattende, at den måtte deles i to halvbind, et om de almindelige forhold og et om de enkelte industrigrene. Her blev for første gang givet en fremstilling af selve de vilkår, hvorunder industrien var opvokset under i Danmark, forholdet til statsmagten blandt andet gennem toldpolitiken, og kapitalforhold, organisationsformer, produktionsomfang, og prisforhold med mere, der blev grundigt belyst. Mange enkeltheder blev fremdraget under arkivstudierne og den samtidige litteratur blev ligeledes inddraget til et levende helhedsbillede og bedømt ud fra selvstændige og frugtbare økonomiske synspunkter. Værkets største svaghed var udeladelsen af tiden efter 1870 og dermed muligheden for at bedømme industriens udvikling i et samlet helhedsperspektiv.

Deltagelse i offentligt liv
Axel Nielsen havde skarpe meninger om den førte valutapolitik og kritiserede Nationalbanken for at give efter for politisk pres. I de talrige råd, udvalg og kommissioner, der i de første år efter 1. verdenskrig blev nedsat til drøftelse af valutasituationen, fik Axel Nielsen sæde, og mens han til en begyndelse stod så temmelig alene, fik han efterhånden voksende tilslutning til sine synspunkter. Han var medlem af Den Overordentlige Kommission af 8. august 1914 til den ophævedes 1921.

I 1926 udarbejdede Axel Nielsen til brug for Handelsministeriet og Valutaudvalget en redegørelse for de økonomiske og finansielle spørgsmål, der knyttede sig til en genindførelse af guldfoden i form af en nedskåret "shillingkrone". Heri afholdt han sig omhyggeligt fra enhver vurdering af, om man burde skride til en sådan nedskrivning, men i dagspressen gik han stærkt ind for en tilbageføring af kronen til dens gamle paritet.

Tillidshverv
Axel Nielsen opnåede adskillige tilllidshverv: han var fra 1922 statens repræsentant i Nationalbanken, 1926—1936 formand i tilsynsrådet for Kongeriget Danmarks Hypotekbank, formand for Nationaløkonomisk Forening 1928—1937 og æresmedlem 1947, formand for Revisoreksamenskommissionen fra 1934 til sin død, medlem af Banklovkommissionen af 1928, fra 1937 medlem af Akademiet for de Tekniske Videnskaber, fra 1942 medlem af Videnskabernes Selskab. Desuden medlem af bestyrelsen for A/S Jacob Holm & Sønner's Fabrikker 1948 og Kommandør af 1. grad af Dannebrog og Dannebrogsmand.

Forfatterskab

Axel Nielsens forfatterskab var meget omfattende. Ved siden af stribevis af artikler og debatindlæg har han blandt andet skrevet:
 Axel Nielsen: Den tyske kameralvidenskabs opstaaen i det 17. Aarhundrede, avec un résumé en français. i: Det Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskabs Skrifter, 7 række historisk og filologisk Afdeling II, 2, 1911.

Powering Your World
Why electric motorcycles are primed for the spotlight
by Matt McFarland @mattmcfarland October 25, 2016: 5:55 PM ET
BMW imagines motorcycle of the future
A group of Dutch college kids are on an unusual road trip around the United States.
Earlier this month in Los Angeles, they won a drag race with a helicopter. They've since crossed the country, but have never had to stop at a gas station. The students, from Eindhoven University of Technology, are demonstrating an electric motorcycle they built with an impressive 230 miles of range. When a battery dies, they swap it for a fully charged one.
Their trip is a reminder of the foothold that electric motorcycles are starting to find. Electric cars have drawn national attention with the popularity of Tesla (TSLA) and new options from leading automakers, including GM's (GM) Chevy Bolt. Goldman Sachs projects that one in four cars sold in 2025 will have electric engines.
Related: Is this the Tesla of motorcycles?
The Dutch students motorcycles takes on a chopper.
As batteries continue to get more powerful, electric motorcycles are expected to be more appealing. Currently, most electric motorcycles and scooters are sold in China, where low-cost, low-powered models are most popular. But sales are taking off elsewhere. Electric motorcycle sales in Europe in 2015 nearly doubled from the year before, according to Navigant Research analyst Ryan Citron.
The Dutch students have yet to decide if they will be commercializing their electric motorcycle.
In the United States, electric motorcycles -- which range from about $9,000 to $20,000 -- are still a rarity. Navigant is only projecting 2,000 electric motorcycles to be sold in 2016.
"What's that inflection point? For us, we see 2020 as turning the corner to the next-generation battery technology," Citron told CNNMoney.
Harley-Davidson revealed a prototype of an electric motorcycle in 2014, but hasn't begun sales yet. Citron expects the motorcycle will be key to spurring interest in electric motorcycles, given the company's strong brand.
Harley-Davidso (HOG)hasn't revealed when it will start selling the motorcycle, or its price. A Harley-Davidson spokeswoman said timelines that have been floated in the media -- 2017 or 2020 -- aren't accurate.
By waiting to launch the motorcycle, Harley-Davidson benefits from advances in battery technology, which will make the bike more affordable and powerful.
Rather than the traditional roar of a gas engine, the motorcycle sounds like a blend of a jet engine and a screeching animal. The Harley-Davidson spokeswoman did not comment on whether the company is amplifying the motor's sound to make it more appealing to customers. While it certainly sounds like it belongs on an airport runway, no word yet on if it will be challenging helicopters or planes to races.

It Has A Name! My Sleep Problem Has A Name!!
Just the other day I was told by my daughter that I should just buck up and make myself get up and go to the early (8am) appointments. She says that is "what people do" I tried to explain that, yes, I can get out of bed, and get there, but I won't actually be present. Trying to explain, that I am non functional or function on a depleted level, depending on how early I have to get up was futile.
I looked up circadian rythms and came across "Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome" That is me! I cried and was elated at the same time. I finally feel validated.
I am 57 years old and have lived with this my entire life. My mother tells stories of how she could run all her errands in the morning when I was little, because I did not wake up before 11am.
Left to my own devices, I sleep from about 4am to about 8:30am then take an afternoon nap for another 3 or so hours. I get two full days of energy, work and vitality in a 24 hour period. When I was actually able to live like that for a brief time. I was happy and accomplished a lot.
Now I am unemployed, had to move in with my daughter and am miserable. I also have chemical sensitivities and that adds to the difficulty of finding and keeping a job. Oh and there is age discrimination too. I desperately want my own home again!
But I am thrilled to find out, I am not psychotic (as so many have insinuated), it has a name! "Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome" and I am not alone.
I also think that although it is called a disorder, I think it probably is no more a disorder than being left handed. I am sure in ancient times, people like us, were valued, since we would be able to keep watch at night without a problem. We should be valued for our ability to stay up and be alert when others are sleeping. Hopefully our society will realize how valuable we are soon. I would like to be treated like a "normal" person and not be ostracized and belittled anymore for having a different sleep cycle than most.
Comments for It Has A Name! My Sleep Problem Has A Name!!
It's definitely part of human nature to want to affix a name to a health condition, and there's so much relief (oddly) that comes when we find we can actually confirm that condition's identity.
Suddenly your sleep issue is "real" (in a way that is validated from the outside world... it's no longer just "in your head") and you can actually take pretty direct action to correct the problem.
I found this to be very true to experience when I was Dx'd with both UARS and mild narcolepsy almost 3 years ago. I'm wide awake now (thank goodness!) following voluntary sleep hygiene improvements, better treatment of allergies and regular use of an upper airway device.
The good news is that dozens of sleep disorders of varying severity have already been identified, so the odds are good that someone with a sleep problem can usually figure out what's wrong (if they have a doctor who's clued in to sleep's impact on health). Then they can take proactive measures to treat their condition, usually with excellent results!
I shared your delight when I discovered there was a name for my unconventional sleep pattern. I am 45 and have struggle to achieve a conventional bed time since I was a child. I have been lucky enough to by and large schedule my life around my sleep pattern (taking second shift jobs, working in fields based on deadlines not fixed work hours). I still struggle with appointments before noon and try to schedule everything for later in the day. I married a sound sleeper who doesn't mind me knocking around in the middle of the night. I have a very productive and balanced life.
However, I still have to deal with the criticism of extended family and at times society as a whole. I am so tired of being perceived as lazy or a party girl because I need to sleep until at least 11AM. What the "first shift" crowd fails to acknowledge is that some of us are up for a good four or five hours after they turn in following the late news. It is really ridiculous that some have a hard time understanding that the body craves about eight good hours of sleep and if sleep doesn't come until three or four in the morning the choices are pretty limited. Either sleep until noonish or destroy your health walking around perpetually sleep deprived.
Hopefully an official name for this type of sleep pattern will lead to better widespread understanding for those of us that keep the night watch!
This is what my daughter felt like when she first found out what it was called. The sad thing is it is now turned to N24. I feel that maybe the Chronotherapy made this happen. There is a warning before using this method but because the parents are not allowed to attend the Hospital or Doctor with their adult child we were not aware of the risk. Has anyone else gone through with this?
Perkdiggity, I so get you!!
My sleep is much better controlled now with melatonin, at least i can sleep around 1am ish and I can hold it around there (no drifting)I would love it to be 11.30 or (can you uimagine) 10.30!! But i'm years away from this i expect and most likely will never get there. Also I can't imagine when i would get anything done! My best time motivation/creativity wise just begins as the first shifters are coming home and lasts into the night. To be creative all day and be finished by teatime.. that's a relly big mindset shift that i'm not sure I will ever make. The melatonin helps the worst of the symptoms but I think i may have to accept that i'm a night owl and just beat pillows about the people who think waking late means lazy Grrrrrr!!!
Anonymous of 16th Sept 2014 can you say what N24 is? I haven't heard that.
I was looking on the internet to see if my lifelong battle with falling asleep at a normal time and waking up at a normal time and being unable to function like everyone else when I came across this site. I have been laughed at for years by my family who just label me as lazy ,a night owl and saying it would take a bomb to wake me .
I am a musician/singer/songwriter I write at night and try to sing quietly so as not to wake up my neighbours I also do loads of other stuff that I cant during the day.I have tried many times to re adjust my body clock but it never really works. If I went to bed at ten at night I would not be asleep until at least 2 am sometimes 4am. If I have to get up early i struggle throughout the day and its like when I finally fall asleep I am totally asleep .
Hi, just adding my experience to the mix; if only people with what they regard as 'normal' sleep patterns would realise we are all different, and no less productive! I also sleep usually from 3.00 or 4.00 am to about 11 or 12, and only feel refreshed if I get these sort of hours. Sometimes, if I've been exercising or working and feel really tired, I'll go to sleep at midnight or so - disaster! Because then I'll wake up at 8.30, as I did this morning, and feel rubbish for the rest of the day. Like some of the others here, I try to do work that is deadline-driven so that I don't spend all my days in an agony of sleep-deprivation. Instead of sneering at us, people who don't have this pattern should be forced to do it for an extended period - then they'd know how it feels to have to go against your natural rhythms - I'm pretty sure they'd be absolutely useless if expected to work alertly at 2.00 am.
