I love Holygram's combination of meaty bass, programmed drums, dangerous and romantic vocals and often expressionistic guitars and melodies. Modern Cults is the Cologne, Germany band's dystopic soundtrack, a collection of death disco ballads that will get you on the fog-filled dancefloor with the other black-clad denizens of the night. On the eve of their U.S. tour with VNV Nation, the members of Holygram were kind enough to answer my questions.
Who are the people making the Holygram sound? Also, what is your very specific set of skills?
Patrick Blümel (vocals): We started HOLYGRAM in the end of 2015, first just as a two-man-project (Bass/Vocals). After writing the first couple of songs we started looking for people to join in order to bring the music on stage. With every new band member the sound of the band evolved and eventually became what you can now call the HOLYGRAMsound. We wanted to involve every band member's musical background to find something less generic and stereotype. We try to bring together classic postpunk and new wave with Kraut elements and anything we like. The German cities Cologne and Dusseldorf are the home of bands like Kraftwerk, NEU! etc.
How did you come by your style?
Patrick: It's a combination of everything we like no matter if it fits at first sight. We try to explore all kinds of music and don't bother mixing e.g. Industrial, Noise, Pop and Techno in one track. There is no boundaries as for what a song could sound like. We don't want to get stuck in a certain genre or style.
What are some of your favorite lyrics on the album and why?
Patrick: I can't really pick specific lyrics from the album that I favor but if I had to choose a song it would be the title track Modern Cults because it pretty much sums up the concept of the album. Getting lost in a city while trying to find your place in the world. It is a strange and ambivalent feeling.
Bennett Reimann (bass): When I first heard the text to Odd Neighborhood I immediately had a whole film in front of my eyes. I immediately had to think of a Tim Burton short film. Simply beautiful.
Were there any specific songs or bands you loved growing up ? What was it your learned from them that has worked for you as a musician?
Patrick: I was pretty much into The Cure when I was at school. It obviously influenced me quite a lot. I love their music and that they always refused to be a Goth band. I like the term happy/sad music for them because they are so much more than just a one-dimensional band.
Bennett: One of the most influential things was VHS-tapes of live concerts from my dad. Hearing the music was one thing but actually seeing how it all works inspired me to try it myself. Tapes from Pink Floyd, Jonny "Guitar" Watson and Frank Zappa to name a few.
Marius Lansing (guitars): My father was always an enthusiastic music listener and had many records. Early on he gave me an insight into various musical styles, especially the music of the 80's I had taken a liking to at that time. I remember exactly when I first heard the song Eisbär by the band Grauzone, I was directly captivated by the beautiful monotony. A similar one was also the song Policemen by the band Extrabreit, o.k. the latter is from 1990, but it still has that 80's vibe.
Pilo Lenger (synthesizers): My parents had a roller disco, so I grew up with 80's pop music, in the 90's I've started to collect UK Psych music, Rubble Collection / Chocolate Soup stuff.
Are there complimentary bands to tour with in your part of the world?
Patrick: There is a couple of bands I like in Europe like Blind Delon, Rendez Vous, The KVB, Die Wilde Jagd, etc. If you are open-minded the music scene in Europe can be pretty exciting, haha. You just have to dig deep enough.
Who have you toured/played with and what is a good memory from a couple favorites?
Patrick: We toured with OMD last winter. It was a great experience and showed me that you can be a very successful band but still stay grounded. It was amazing to play big concert halls with more that 7,000 people. For 30 minutes you feel like a star, haha!
Bennett: Yes, the OMD Tour was a huge experience for us all. The moment when Andy (Lead Singer/Bassist from OMD) gave me his bass during Soundcheck was a real pleasure and also a bit of an brainfuck cause he used to play a left-hand bass as an right-hander so all the strings were upside down.
You recently played with Whispering Sons. How was that show and what do you think of your labelmates?
Patrick: It is great to see that the genre we are associated with has so many facets. Whispering Sons are a great live band and very nice people. It's pretty amazing that Cleopatra Records brings both bands' music to the US.
You're coming to California for a club tour before supporting VNV Nation. How excited are you to present your new songs and win over new fans? Is VNV Nation a favorite band?
Patrick: It's crazy that we have a record release show at the legendary Viper Room. We are super excited to play our songs live on stage, Modern Cults is actually our attempt to capture our live sound. We hope that people will like it and we can temporarily add something to the musical scene in the US.
Will you be touring with a live drummer and if so, what does he/she bring to the songs that is different than the programmed drums on the album? How does your music change in a live setting regardless of drums?
Nima Davari (Engineer/ touring drummer) : I've been kindly asked by the band to join them for a number of shows that were to take place in 2018, trying to do Sebastian justice, who still of course is a solid member of the group. That being said, the drums for this record have been played by Sebastian as well as programmed by Patrick and Bennett as well as Maurizio (Baggio, Producer).
In a live show you will hear organic cymbals, accompanied by electronically triggered kick, snare and toms. The sounds do vary from song to song and it feels like the only right thing to do is to play like a machine.
Patrick: We always wanted to play with a live drummer and actually recorded the drums on the album with a drummer. It's a tricky setup on stage as we use electronic samples instead of the natural sound of the drum kit. We are using a lot of fog at our shows and sometimes people wonder if there is a drummer at all or just a drum machine playing in the background. People tend to be surprised in the end when the fog disappears!
What has been some of the feedback on Modern Cults? How is the fan reaction?
Patrick: The reactions are great! It always makes you feel good when someone sees something in your music and can relate to it. I am always excited when someone has an association with a song or some lyrics that were not intended. The songs don't try to be too hermetic and sometimes it works out.
You're from Cologne, Germany. What is Cologne known for? What place would you recommend your fans visit that has the best food, the most important history, the most beautiful art, the best music venue.
Patrick: Cologne is known for the carnival. It is a crazy time when thousands of disguised people flood the streets and get drunk. I try to avoid the city during that week but I guess it is an attraction. If you come to Cologne you should definitely visit the Kölner Dom, which is one of the nicest cathedrals in Europe. It is very impressive even with our standards in architecture etc. Cologne is a very multicultural city and you find a lot of great food. Just don't stick to the touristic areas and you will find some cool places. The best music is played at the Sonic Ballroom, Gebäude 9 and Tsunami Club. Small but very popular venues.
Ok, you're likely arriving at LAX right about now. What is the thing you're most looking forward to doing while in Los Angeles or any part of the country beside performing?
Patrick: I know Los Angeles from lots of movies and I kind of expect to feel like being in a blockbuster while we are there. Traveling in the US is going to be so different from traveling Europe I guess. The vastness of the country, we don't really have that in Europe.
Holygram's Modern Cults is out now on Cleopatra Records.


Kidney disease, like nearly and serious medical condition, means a change in lifestyle. How serious your disease is determines how drastic of change you need to make. If you have been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease, you have what is considered moderate kidney damage. In other words, you are right in the middle of the scale between stage 1 (normal or near normal) and stage 5 (near failure and in need of dialysis). At this point, your problems are serious but diligently following the advice of a medical professional may help keep you from progressing to the more serious stages. Following a kidney diet meal plan can keep you on the right track.
What Type of Diet for Stage 3 Kidney Disease?
One of the most important considerations for stage 3 kidney disease patients is diet. This is more important than many people realize. Your kidneys are your blood filters. At stage 3 kidney disease, they are filtering between one third and two thirds as much blood as healthy kidneys. This not only causes toxins to accumulate, it can cause healthy nutrients to accumulate in your blood at unhealthy levels. As your diet improves you can stabilize your kidney disease and not progress any further with a proper stage 3 kidney disease diet plan.
Your doctor probably made some dietary recommendations when you were diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. If not, it's important to ask about it. He or she should also be able to refer you to a registered dietitian who is knowledgeable about stage 3 kidney disease . You will probably be advised to limit your intake of proteins, sodium, potassium, phosphorous, and possibly some vitamins or minerals. It's important that you be tested regularly, because your diet needs constant adjustment as your kidney function changes.
How Do I Follow A Stage 3 Kidney Disease Diet Plan?
One of the most challenging parts of following a stage 3 kidney disease diet is getting the proper amount of calories. It can be difficult to get enough calories and carbohydrates to fuel your body without overloading on protein, or other problematic nutrients. Your dietitian may recommend the use of some simple calories and carbohydrates such as sugar. This naturally comes with the warning not to over-do it. And if you are a diabetic, you will want to watch your intake of carbohydrate carefully. Check out our renal diabetic meal plans.
Due to the complexity of diet recommendations for stage 3 kidney disease it is recommended that you keep a food journal much like a journal to know how much and how many of the items you are eating. Even if you think you are following the advice of your dietitian, it's easy to make mistakes. The amount of nutrients and vitamins in the same food can vary from brand to brand. Sometimes foods are fortified with the very things you must avoid if you have stage 3 kidney disease. When you have a meal plan for the week or the month, you will find it really easy to track and follow your diet plan for stage 3 kidney disease.
What if I Can't Figure Out A Stage 3 Kidney Disease Meal Plan?
To avoid mistakes and simplify meal planning, many stage 3 kidney disease patients are taking advantage of the internet. An option not available in years past was the purchase of pre-designed online meal plans, created by a registered dietitian complete with grocery list. This can eliminate a lot of errors and confusion in the grocery store.
Whatever option you choose, be sure to follow your diet carefully. Many of the complications resulting from stage 3 kidney disease are actually caused by improper nutrition. Experts advise against designing your own plan without professional assistance. Whether you decide to take on the complications of the do-it-yourself diet plan, or take advantage of the simplicity of online plans – the input of a registered dietitian is crucial. Following the plan to the letter is equally crucial. Just remember – your health is worth it and stage 3 kidney disease is nothing to take lightly.

The Freshwater Algae Culture Collection at the Institute of Hydrobiology (FACHB-collection) is a professional biological resource and utilization of living algae. In China, freshwater algal resource-related researches and application have gradually expanded due to the interests of regionally and internationally. In the era of ever-increasing demanding both for high-valued living algal strains and expertise of algal cultivation and related knowledge, which are being pushed by research and industry, in particularly, algal bio-diesel exploration, algal culture collections are playing active roles in the exploitation of utility of algae as a resource. The mission of the FACHB includes 1. Collection, isolation & purification of algal species; 2. Maintenance & preservation of the algal species; 3. Development of techniques relating to preservation, cultivation, etc.; 4. Development of database of algal strains with economical & environmental importance; 5. Provide services to scientific & industrial communities.
From 1950s, Prof. Shanghao Li established an algal culture collection in the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) what later became the FACHB-collection. From 1973-1995, Prof. Minjuan Yu was the first director of the FACHB-collection who contributed a great deal to the development of the collection. Since 1996, Prof. Lirong Song has been the director and in charge of operation of the unit.
The development of FACHB-collection has been driven not only by the demanding of algal species for basic study, but also by different applied purposes. At the beginning the purpose of the culture collection was mainly to support the fundamental and applied researches in the Department of Phycology of the Institute of Hydrobiology. In the 1960's, based on the wide range of investigation and surveys on the distribution of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria in the Department of Phycology, a great deal of microalgae, especially nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterial strains, were isolated and kept into FACHB-collection. In the 1970's, the problem of worldly protein food shortage was continuously raised and the single-cell protein was then thought to be a solution to the problem. The FACHB-collection therefore concentrated on the isolation of unicellular algae, especially focused on the isolation of green algae and diatoms. In the 1980's, when environmental problems such as eutrophication of lakes and water pollution became more and more severe, the FACHB-collection focused on increasing the strains of freshwater harmful or toxic algae. Over the last two decades, due to the rapid development of algal biotechnology, our collection has also accumulated wide range of species with direct or potentially utility.
In 1995, the FACHB-collection became the member of the Type Culture Collection Committee of Chinese Academy of Sciences , the committe was renamed as Chinese Academy of Wildlife Germplasm Banks in 2010. The FACHB-collection was a member of World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM, http://www.wdcm.org/) in 2004 (WDCM No. 873) and founding member of the Network of Asia Oceania Algae Culture Collections (AOACC, http://mcc.nies.go.jp/AOACC/Home.html) in 2004.
The FACHB-collection currently holds more than 2000 strains, belonging to over 120 genera, 8 phyla. It preserves numerous freshwater species apart from a small number of marine and brackish species. Concerning the diversity of the species, a great deal of species or strains was arisen from regions of terrestrial/ desert habitats and eutrophic freshwater bodies occupied mostly by bloom-forming cyanobacteria. With the aid of abundant selection and expertise in cultivation techniques, freshwater algal resource-related researches and application have gradually expanded. Most of strains were maintained by subculturing under optimal conditions mostly ranging from 15℃ to 25℃ and 4 to 40 μmol·m-2·s-1 photon flux density in a 12-h-light:12-h-dark photo-regime. Most strains are serially transferred at 1-month to 3-month (av. 2-month) intervals. Every strain usually has four copies: one in flask in liquid culture media, three in test-tube in liquid or solid culture media. Some strains, including cyanobacteria and green algae are being kept in liquid nitrogen.
As the main algal culture collection in China, the FACHB-collection dispatched 1469 strains to users corresponding to 206 affiliations in 2012. The numbers of strains distribution were steadly increasing since 2005. Though the majority of the orders were from the academic background such as colleges, universities and institutes, we can see the increasing share from outside of academic, such as environmental, aquacutural and industrial background. In recent years, it is estimated that Microcystis, Chlorella and Scenedesmus were among the best-selling genera. About 40% of all orders per year were used for water environmental research and bioremediation; meanwhile, about 30% of all orders per year were used for bioenergy and biofuel production research.
The FACHB-collection moved to a new laboratory building in 2011, which covered an area of 280 m2. There are 3 culture rooms with different temperatures which could accommodate 10,000 strains, 1 cryopreservation room, 1 transfer room, 1 special species culture rooms and 1 experiment room. In general, the facilities are well equipped and sufficient for the routine operation and maintenance of the cultures.
There are 7 full-time staff in the FACHB-collection, including director, one algal taxonomist and 5 technicians. Besides, it is worth noting that there is a research center named Center for Algal Biology and Applied Research in the Institute, consisting of 10 principle investigators specialized in taxonomy, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, terrestrial and arid algae, harmful algae, diatom, algal resource and toxicity, etc. This structure is mutual beneficial to both of FACHB-Collection and the research center.
Dated back to earlier 1980's, the former director Prof. Minjuan Yu had spent about 2 years in UTEX culture collection as a visiting scholar. Prof. Jindong Zhao, currently the director of the Institute of Hydrobiology, obtained his Ph.D. under supervision of Prof. Jerry Brand, the current director of the UTEX. The late director of UTEX, Prof. Richard Starr helped many Chinese phycologists and successfully organized several bilateral symposiums on phycological studies. His support and guidance to the development of our culture collection is well acknowledged (Starr and Zeikus 1993, Song et al. 1999). During 1990's, Prof. Makoto Watanabe, the former director of NIES-Collection, organized a network among the algal culture collections in Asian countries within the ANMR(Asian Network of Microbial Research), promoting a great deal in the capacity building and knowledge exchange. The network was then transformed into AOACC-Asia Oceania Algal Culture Collection. Besides, FACHB-collection keeps a close contact with colleagues from other algal culture collection and related phycologists. From 2009 to 2012, the Sino-Korea Joint Symposium on bioresource preservation and exploitation has been held 4 times, co-organized by FACHB-collection and Korean National Research Resource Center (KNRRC).

Despite Victory, Eagles Remain Desperate For Consistency
December 12, 2014 Jack Stedman Men's Basketball, Top Story
Jim Christian lamented his team's inability to focus on both sides of the ball against the 1-7 Maine Black Bears.
"That was probably the best 40 minutes of offense that we've played, and the worst 40 minutes of defense that we've played," he said.
Eight games into the season, one word can sum up Christian's team: inconsistent.
Against their toughest opponent, the Providence Friars, the Eagles dazzled and fired on all cylinders, but against weaker teams, like UNH and Maine, BC just squeaked by for a win.
In their second game of the year, the Eagles found themselves ahead of Massachusetts at the half, only to succumb to the Minutemen's suffocating defense in final 20 minutes.
The Puerto Rico Tip-Off Tournament featured much of the same. BC captured a quality victory over New Mexico to start the tournament, but could not sustain that form. In its ensuing games against West Virginia and Dayton, BC started off strong only to be overcome down the stretch.
Losses to UMass, WVU, and Dayton—one of last March's Cinderella stories —are not terrible, but to lose those games after strong starts leaves much to be desired.
The tides appeared to turn after taking down the Friars, but BC regressed ever so slightly despite their 85-74 victory over the Black Bears.
Without looking at the scoreboard, the low level of play against Maine produced many red flags, as the Eagles could not carry the momentum and intensity from the PC upset into this week. A win is a win, but the lack of defensive fortitude is a major concern.
Rustiness on offense is expected for every team at the start of a season. Players and coaches should know that patience is necessary before they start hitting mid-season form with their jumpers. Defense, however, needs to be present from the very beginning.
In less than a week, BC churned out a victory over Providence that featured lock-down D, but then flipped the script only six days later, struggling to stop the Black Bears' offense the entire game.
"From our perspective, we have to play with more defensive energy to do the things we want to do," Christian said.
Pat Heckmann, whose grittiness and intelligence have come to define this team, is a prime example of BC's inconsistency.
Going back to that Providence game, Heckmann shined on the defensive side, shutting down PC's leading scorer, LaDontae Henton, all night long. Yet, against Maine, Heckmann committed silly fouls and did a poor job on the boards, allowing Maine to receive too many offensive rebounds. Christian continually had to bench Heckmann—his best defender—spending the majority of one huddle talking to the German forward about his mistakes.
Heckmann and the defense were simply unable to finish off Maine, despite coming close on many occasions. Olivier Hanlan, in a signature acrobatic drive to the hoop, got the lead up to 15 at one point, but holes on defense allowed the Black Bears to stay within fighting distance of the Eagles.
Even with the game seemingly in hand, the key defensive stops did not come.
Aaron Brown would roar ahead for fast break dunks, but the Black Bears would answer with a three. Dennis Clifford—in his best offensive game of the season—would outwork two defenders for the basket, but then would allow an easy layup two plays later.
"At the end, we weren't on point defensively," Brown said.
Clifford's season high 19 points and Brown's continued offensive production and leadership—the only bright spots from the game—powered BC to victory. This cannot be overlooked, as the Eagles showed a key ability to win games without Hanlan at the helm.
Bigger questions, however, need to be asked, especially with the ACC schedule right around the corner. Can this team put everything together when conference play rolls around? Or is a sloppy win against Maine a sign that inconsistency will mar this team for the rest season?

This is included as a technique because it is so important to the correction of posture. The physiological benefits of postural correction may be short lived if your client returns to those behaviours that were significant in bringing about such posture.
As the name indicates, in the genu flexum (flexed knee) posture a person bears weight through a knee that is flexed to a greater degree than is normal when standing. Less common than genu recurvatum, it is a posture observed in the elderly or in patients who have been sedentary and their knees have been allowed to rest in a flexed position for prolonged periods.
Postural Correction presents 30 of the most commonly occurring postural conditions in a comprehensive, full-color format and provides hands-on therapists and body workers with the knowledge and resources to help clients address their malalignments.
Full-color anatomical illustrations and photographs present a clear visual of what will help bring about postural change.
Consistency with the other titles in the Hands-On Guides for Therapists series ensures that the manual therapies throughout this book are easily accessible.
An overview of each malalignment includes the muscles that are shortened or lengthened, notes about each posture, a bulleted list of ideas grouped according to whether these are carried out by the therapist or the client, and rationale for the suggested corrective techniques.
Concluding comments summarize the information for access at a glance.
A resource for professional development and reference for certified and student massage therapists, soft tissue therapists, myofascial release practitioners, chiropractors, physiotherapists, sport therapists, osteopaths, strength and conditioning trainers, and instructors of yoga, Pilates, and general fitness seeking to develop and refine their work with clients across a range of postural defects and malalignments.
Johnson has taught continuing professional development (CPD) workshops for many organizations both in the UK and abroad. This experience has brought her into contact with thousands of therapists of all disciplines and informed her own practice. She is passionate about supporting and inspiring newly qualified or less confident therapists so they feel more self-assured in their work.


Legislative Forum at BC. Sep 25, 2014.
Cindy Pollard, CEO of the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce and Michele Bresso, Associate Dean of Instruction, Bakersfield College hosted the second legislative forum on September 26, 2014. We hosted the very first legislative forum last year. I hope the Chamber will continue to bring this event to BC.
Congressman David Valadao, Assemblyman Rudy Salas, and Senators Jean Fuller and Andy Vidak spoke to a jam-packed Fireside Room (we planned for 75 attendees and over 100 showed up. yes!) about numerous issues and their personal involvement in addressing them. Water, of course, was a major subject of discussion. However, they also talked about education, immigration, energy billing, loan programs, and more.
The legislators offered advice and inspirational words for students, and personally answered audience member's questions after the event.

These next few weeks are a transition time for me to a new phase in my life. During the process of checking some astro-data on my progressed chart for a comment I left on The Inner Wheel, I realized my progressed Moon is just about to move from Capricorn into Aquarius at the end of January. Very big deal!
2007 marked the leading edge of this transition when my progressed Moon was in the Balsamic phase to my progressed Sun, reflecting the natal relationship between my Sun and Moon in Libra. That was the year when I decided to retire from the day job I had and start working on developing my online presence as an astrologer. Over the next couple of years, I started a second short-lived blog on synastry, joined Pat Paquette and created Real Astrologers and wrote many posts on astrology as well as working with clients.
Now I am just about to launch my new home for both Neithnet and Neith on Synastry under one "roof", Libra Seeking Balance on WordPress. At the same time, Real Astrologers will be getting a face lift due in large part to our current theme being out-of-date and no longer supported. It will be exciting to see what emerges because the key to making viable change is being open and flexible.
I do plan on waiting until the Sun moves into Aquarius along with Venus because it makes no sense to me to start something when both the Sun and Venus are squaring my Sun. Saturn in Libra will make its second square to Pluto in Capricorn on January 31 and that configuration will provide enough tension to power up start ups all on its own!
Anyone else getting ready to catch the wave of energy from this New Moon?
Neith, what a wonderful idea to relocate all your work to WordPress!
I'm here now! I've added this blog to my feeds and am ready to follow you and your new phase from here.
And, my God, do I miss the sun! This has been one of the greyest, rainiest Winters I can remember.
Thanks, DM! I can hardly wait to get moved in completely here with nothing but redirects for the Blogger sites.
Today the sun is shining here and there is nothing like the real deal to brighten spirits. Using a SADD light truly helps keep me going through the gloomy days of winter.

Is this our first look at a real iPhone 8?
This week on The CultCast: Apple accidentally leaked major details about the iPhone 8 and HomePod — we'll tell you everything we've learned. Plus: Leaked audio files show off the HomePod's cool UI sounds; we reveal exclusive new audio of the HomePod's boot-up noise; and we wrap with our reviews of the best internet-connected security cameras and the hawt new flagship Olympus OM-D EM-1 mirrorless camera in an all-new Under Review.
Last week Steven Troughton-Smith treated us to the first screenshots of iOS in the Car, an upcoming feature that integrates your iPhone with a vehicle's in-dash system. Now the developer's digging though iOS 7.0.3 has resulted in a video of iOS in the Car in use on an iOS Simulator.
According to Steve's findings, iOS in the Car supports multiple resolutions and touchscreens to allow for different hardware buttons, wheels and touchpad. Right now it only works with certain whitelisted Apple apps as there's no public API for developers yet, and rather than including an onscreen keyboard the UI only accepts voice recognition input.
Developer Steven Troughton-Smith has uncovered screenshots of Apple's unreleased interface for iOS in the Car, a feature that integrates an iOS device with a vehicle's in-dash system. According to Troughton-Smith, iOS in the Car is in the current, public release of iOS 7.0.4. He assumedly found it after digging through the software's code.
When Apple unveiled iOS 7 at WWDC last June, it teased iOS in the Car with a design that is pretty different from what Troughton-Smith has leaked. The screenshots reflect the iOS 7 aesthetic, and could very well represent the design Apple will ship to the public.
iOS in the Car has been labeled as "coming soon" since it was originally announced last summer. Apple has said at least a dozen automobile partners are on board with the technology, like Honda, Nissan, and Acura. It has been reported that iOS in the Car will go live alongside the release of iOS 7.1 in the coming months.
Known developer Steven Troughton-Smith has been able to run iOS App Store apps on the Apple TV fullscreen at the device's full, 720p resolution. Troughton-Smith also worked on the Siri port that was demoed months ago and made available for jailbroken iOS devices last week.
With the help of another developer by the name of TheMudKip and Grant Paul's MobileLaunchpad launcher, Troughton-Smith has been able to run iOS apps natively on the Apple TV without using AirPlay.
Known developers Grant Paul (a.k.a 'chpwn') and Ryan Petrich have released a working Siri port for older, jailbroken iOS devices in Cydia. "Spire" will install Siri on older-generation iOS devices, including the original iPad.
Spire downloads Siri directly from Apple's servers. The only catch is that you will need access to an iPhone 4S and your own proxy to get the port up and running.
Right now, if you have Mac OS X 10.6.5 and an iPad running iOS 4.2 GM, AirPrint's a bit of a mess: some people are reporting that it is working, but many are not having any luck.
We suspected that it was just this sort of compatibility problems that caused Apple to scale AirPrint support back to AirPrint-compatible printers at the last minute, but developer Steven Troughton-Smith has some instructions on how to bring it to your Mac under OS X 10.6.5 and iOS 4.2 GM.


On Easter Eve, the first fire of Easter plays a prominent role on Saturday night.
At the side of the church itself, in the space between the east and the west entrances to the church, there is a protected space where we light the fire in a portable hibachi.
Our practice is for people to gather outside for the lighting of the taper from the "first fire" that will light the Paschal Candle to lead us into the First Eucharist of Easter. It has always been a source of pride for our lighting to coincide with the exact moment of sunset.
On this particular Easter Eve, our priest lit the charcoal in the hibachi and waited for hot coals to form. Shortly after, he added some larger twigs to become the base of the fire. With a fire bucket nearby, a group of early arrivals were asked to keep it company and to hand out tapers and service outlines.
It was rather windy and cold, and the wood easily caught fire. In fact, it didn't take long to see sparks tickling the space directly above.
As more people arrived, increasingly strong winds made people tighten their caps or adjust their scarves. Coats blew open and a few people started to go into the church itself, choosing to wait there for the lighting.
With that signal, people started to move inside and gradually everyone abandoned the fire.
Just then, a parishioner rounded the corner. Seeing a line of people entering the west door of the church, she set off to join it, but hesitated when she noticed an unattended fire by itself. Seeing no one around, she spotted the fire bucket and doused the flames.
Suddenly, the east door of the church opened, and the crucifer, priest and acolytes processed to the exact spot of the smoking heap of charcoal and half burnt twigs.
With a loud gasp, the four of them froze.
A moment of silence followed and then soft chuckles.
A quick-thinking acolyte pulled out a lighter and passed it to the priest. The procession continued toward the west door of the church to join the rest of the congregation.
As predicted, at the exact moment of sunset, the priest lit the Paschal candle.
Easter had arrived, in spite of fastidious fire prevention practices!

Arsenal draw with Crystal Palace so boring that Jamie Redknapp starts rapping
01/14/2021 Arsenal FC, Crystal Palace FC
Don't wait 30 years – sign up for our daily football email newsletter today!
Arsenal's draw with Crystal Palace bored Jamie Redknapp enough for the Sky Sports pundit to start rapping live on TV.
The Gunners could not find a way past their Premier League opponents, playing out to a 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
While Mikel Arteta's side did record their first home clean sheet since July, it ends their impressive run of form as they remained in the bottom half of the table.
And Redknapp took the opportunity to sum up the game in a creative way on Sky Sports.
In the clip, the game is over in north London and the broadcaster are running a promo for Will Smith movie "Bad Boys for Life".
And the former Tottenham forward changes the lyrics of the film franchise's favourite song to assess the game.
He sings: "Bad game, bad game. What'cha gonna do? What'cha gonna do when it's not 3-2?"
All host Kelly Cates and co-pundit Alex Scott can do is cringe as the 47-year-old laughs, trying to get them involved.
"That's what the game's done to you," the former Arsenal women's player says to Reknapp as he waits for the advert break.
But Scott was not the only one cringing as viewers on Twitter were left baffled by the ex- Liverpool star's rapping.
"Not sure what was worse, Pepe's cameo or Jamie Redknapp rapping to Bad Boys," one said.
Another commented: "Jamie Redknapp, what was that? Didn't think today could get any worse."
While a third suggested the pundit should be punished, with: "Redknapp should be chucked off of Sky Sports for that."
But others praised Redknapp for his creativity as a fourth said: "Jamie Redknapp singing bad boys was the most interesting thing about that game."
With a fifth simply saying: "Highlight of the game."
One Gunners star who was off-tune against Palace was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who offered an explanation for his moody dressing-room attitude.

Review by Jackie Ward
Why We Snap
Twenty things to do with a computer (Forward 50)
Gerry Robinson's blogs of the week, 10 January 2022
As someone whose "rage circuit" is constantly fired by the circumstances of how and why some of our most vulnerable – and yes, angry – young children are excluded, I was intrigued by the premise of this book, which promises to reveal the nine triggers of "why we snap".
The writer is a respected American neuroscience expert and his authorial style combines a heady brew of scientific knowledge, personal experiences, analogy and case studies which draw the layperson into a deep exploration of the brain's mysteries.
The book is divided into three parts. Part one, Enraged, gives examples of "ordinary" people snapping and committing horrific acts due to a sudden loss of control. Fields personalises this with his own account of overcoming a pickpocket with a violence he could barely control.
He attributes his outburst to "the lifesaving circuits of rage engraved in our brain by evolution" which now "clash with the transformational changes in the modern environment". Going on to say that "coded into our DNA through aeons of battle for the survival of the fittest, the circuits of aggression reside latent in the hypothalamus of everyone".
We are then introduced to the nine triggers for these provocations of rage, to which he gives the mnemonic LIFEMORTS, literally the stuff of life and death.
The chilling conclusion to this part is the observation of a psychologist in a murder trial in which the defendant had snapped: "I think anyone is capable of it."
Part two looks at the flipside of snapping in anger, showing how the same parts of the brain also trigger heroic behaviour when lives are saved. On the plane where the "underwear bomber" tried to set off his lethal cargo, why did one person grapple with him while others fled?
Fields discusses that "situation analysis in the cerebral cortex" may have engaged a "defence reflex". Perhaps our hero knew that if he didn't act, the passengers would all die and so he went towards the threat. Something in his background propelled him forwards; this imperative hardwired into his neural circuits.
The final part was, for me, completely riveting. Its theme of the differences between sexes and the intertwining of sex and violence for both males and females are backed up with up-to-the-minute examples of modern-day attacks on women by hordes of men. Think Egypt and Cologne, Germany. Think of the horrors of gang rape on a bus in India.
Sex (the "mate" trigger) is one of the most powerful rage switches. In girls, rage is often channelled into self-harm.
A young woman explains: "It's literally like a bomb is going to go off in your head … something will happen … it reaches a pitch where serious self-harm has become inevitable. I have contempt and rage for myself … I carry on until I am literally sated, soothed. The peace I feel is brilliant."
The trigger for her behaviour is often "insult". While a male would be more likely to fight, the female directs the violence towards herself.
Having witnessed the consequences of "life and limb" or "fight and flight" for both girls and boys, I feel the "brain explain" theory makes sense in terms of the nine triggers Fields outlines and there is work to be done in tempering "snap" responses. Surely education can eventually play its part.
Fields also analyses the "tribe" trigger, at the base of war and prejudice throughout the ages. Fields says "racial prejudice is wired into the human brain … it is our emotional response toward another group of people based on preconceptions".
His covers subjects far and wide. Rodney King and the Los Angeles riots. The Boston marathon bombers, and the echoes in the followers of Isis in our own country, with concerns about radicalisation the focus of much current training in our schools.
Underpinning this is the fascinating exploration of our brains: its amygdala, the prefrontal cortex and rage circuits. If we can understand the nine triggers that hardwire our brain, and which we often dismiss as psychological dysfunction as opposed to a normal and necessary physiological mechanism, then there may be hope of mitigating the effects of snapping.
For me and for children in pupil referral units, this can only be a good thing.

An excellent review. I can clearly see what the book is about and am intrigued enough to want to read it. The more we understand, the more we can help, although the challenges of doing so in a busy school are enormous.

How the Pixelbook Go compares to other Chromebooks
Google's lower-cost Chromebook is going up against Asus, Dell, Samsung, and others
By Jay Peters
Oct 16, 2019, 3:00 PM UTC |
After two years without releasing a new laptop, Google has finally announced the Pixelbook Go, a 13.3-inch Chromebook that starts at $649. Based on my colleague Dieter Bohn's hands-on, it seems pretty good, and it's a lot cheaper than the $999 Pixelbook.
So now that there's a midrange Pixelbook, it could be much harder to pick which one of the many Chromebooks should be your next laptop.
If you're looking for recommendations, Dieter's got you covered. His top pick as of August 2019 was the Asus Chromebook Flip C434. Obviously, the newly announced Pixelbook Go was not part of his comparison, and we'll have to wait until The Verge's full review is out to see just how well the Pixelbook Go stacks up against its competitors. But until our review is out, we can offer a spec-to-spec comparison between Google's Pixelbooks and some of the most popular Chromebooks from Asus, Dell, Samsung, Acer, and Lenovo:

Halloween Chocolate Chip Cookies are made fun and festive with candy eyes and bright swirls of buttercream frosting. Boo could resist?!
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Pillsbury. All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that continue to make My Baking Addiction possible.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that it is almost October. I desperately want it to feel like Fall, but Mother Nature clearly has other plans. One day I'm wearing boots and a sweater and for the next five, it's back to t-shirts and flip flops. And because it's still hot and humid here in Ohio, I still can't get behind baking with pumpkin quite yet, so instead, it's Halloween allthethings.
If you visit My Baking Addiction regularly, you know that I am no stranger to shortcuts in the kitchen. Whether it be a doctored-up cake mix, jarred marinara, or chocolate chip cookies from a box, sometimes this working mama just needs a timesaver. And I know that other mamas do too. There's nothing wrong with a shortcut now and then.
When I was approached by Pillsbury to use their new Purely Simple™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix in a fun recipe and participate in a Blog Hop. I just couldn't say no. How could I possibly resist a batch of homemade treats from Aimee of Shugary Sweets? Seriously, how cute are these Snickerdoodle Blondie Bites?
And since I was sending my dessert to the talented Amanda of I Am Baker, I knew I wanted to create something fun and festive for her littles to enjoy. Five little mouths to impress is a tall order, but I think I nailed it. Be sure to check out Amanda's recipe for Krispy Pumpkin Brownies, I can hardly handle the deliciousness!
Around here, there's really nothing that goes over better with family than chocolate chip cookies, so having a boxed mix option without artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors is a total win in my book. Timesaver, and ingredients I know and love too.
I decided to save even a little more time by using the Pillsbury Purely Simple™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix to create bar cookies. I then used a small biscuit cutter to cut the cookies into perfect little circles. This step is definitely not necessary, but created a nice shape and flat top for those pretty swirls of frosting.
While these Purely Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies were perfectly delicious on their own, I decided to jazz them up a bit by adding in colorful Halloween sprinkles and pretty swirls of buttercream. However, if using food dye is not your thing, simple spirals of plain buttercream create adorable ghosts that are pretty darn boo-riffic!
Be sure to check out the complete Pillsbury Purely Simple™ line at your local supermarket and check them out on Facebook for more recipe inspiration.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine cookie mix, butter, and egg until a soft dough is formed.
If using, fold in sprinkles and mix until they are evenly incorporated.
Bake in preheated oven for 23-25 minutes.
Once the cookies are cool, prepare the buttercream.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream butter on medium-high speed for about 6 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in powdered sugar, and continue beating until well blended.
Add in vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Blend on low speed until moistened.
If needed, add additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Beat at high speed until frosting is smooth and fluffy; about 5 more minutes.
If desired, use gel food dye to color the frosting.
Spread frosting onto cookie bars, or use a small biscuit cutter to cut the cookie bars into small circles. Pipe frosting onto cookies and top with festive sprinkles.
This buttercream recipe makes a generous amount of frosting. If you do not desire to pipe the frosting onto the cookies, I would suggest cutting the buttercream recipe in half.
These are fantastic Jamie!!! Love the festive frosting colors and sprinkles too!!
Jamie, these cookies are adorable! Seriously super cute! Using the cookie mix makes an impressive-looking cookie low maintenance. Thanks for sharing such a neat idea!
It's WAY too hot here in So Cal for pumpkin baking so I totally feel your pain! But these Halloween cookies are ADORBS!!! Pretty sure I'm not talented enough to even make the ghosts :p but yours are perfect!
The nice thing about making these cookies for a friend is you get to eat all the weirdly shaped little bits that are left behind from the cookie cutters! Very cute!

The SAHT is currently undergoing CFD and FEA studies to optimize its functions to obtain maximum power output.
The SAHT is being engineered to prepare it for prototyping. A sub-scale fully-functional model will be 3D printed and tested on open water with a full array of sensors and instrumentation.
The color bands of this image show the high pressure red/orange zone in the forward funnel, while the dark blue band shows the very low pressure suction zone inside the rearward nozzle. The dark blue band is the contact ring, or suction seal, that is created on the internal wing as water laminates onto its surface.
Pressure Zones
Suction-augmentation is a game-changer for low-head hydropower. Just as water flowing over a weir creates suction, the SAHT's ducted configuration captures side-flow and drives it at super-critical speed across a rotary underwater weir. It's the equivalent of driving a sonic boom in air.
Water has celerity. This describes the point at which the velocity of flowing water overcomes its wave energy, and begins to flow at super-critical velocity. The dimensionless number used to describe this phenomenon is the Froude number.
The SAHT turbine incorporates a revolutionary control system that uses its adjustable ducting to provide an essential grid service - capacitance. For the grid to absorb wind and solar energy while maintaining voltage and frequency, a network of natural gas generators must be idling and ready to feather the grid's current and voltage to maintain stable delivery to customers. Because the SAHT can be deployed in arrays that are networked, they can act in concert across entire waterway systems to instantly adjust their outputs to match grid conditions, and thereby compensate for other technologies down-grid. This is an extremely valuable grid service which networked SAHT arrays can provide, obviating the need for stand-by generators.

Here's a staggering fact: 89 billion emails get sent everyday. However, the vast majority just don't get opened. If you're running a small business, you need to make sure that your email strategy is counting on value, rather than volume. Just because almost 90 billion emails are sent each day doesn't mean you need to settle for a .05% open rate for yours. A well-crafted headline can increase how often your emails get opened and read.
To help us wade through the many complexities of crafting a great email newsletter (and yes, how to improve your email open rate), business consultant and CreativeLive instructor Barry Moltz put together a tried and true list of tips you can apply to your email marketing headlines to make sure your emails get opened.
1. Think About the Title. It matters. More than any other factor, the title of your email will decide if it gets opened.
3. Be Exclusive. Limited time and members-only offers are more enticing than generic email blasts. Do what you can to make your email feel tailor-made and time-sensitive.
4. No Capital Letters. NO YELLING, please. Thank you.
5. Be Controversial. Challenging popular notions with your email headline is a great way to grab attention. Is everyone buzzing about National Donut Day? Write a headline about why you loathe it.
6. Avoid Overused Words. Free. Help. % Off. Reminder. All of these words make your email blend in with the masses. Avoid them.
7. Use Odd Numbers. Readers like odd numbers. It makes them feel good. And click things. Which is what you want.
8. Keep it Short. Email programs often cut off headlines over 25 characters, make sure you whole title gets displayed by keeping it short.
9. Get Help. If your emails aren't getting you anywhere, don't hesitate to use pro tools or ask an expert for advice.
10. Be Thoughtful About the "From" Field. People want to hear from people, not companies. Make sure your "from field" has a name, not a department or anonymizer address in it.


The native, the imported and the naturalised as is Abel Tasmanian Gin.
Take traditional gin and turn it on its head with a blast of citrus over base notes of the Tasmanian wilderness…you can't get much wilder!
There are two unique gin styles from The Abel Gin Co. to suit your every mood.
As a winemaker Natalie Fryar has been flirting with Tasmania since 2001 where she was lured here by the ideal Tasmanian environment. Instrumental in establishing Jansz Tasmania as Australia's sparkling wine specialist, Natalie has enjoyed a stellar career that has taken her all over the world, from the Great Western, WA to Champagne and finally home to Tasmania where she crafts her own rare and boutique sparkling wines. Feted and multi- award winning she is recognised as one of the country's leading sparkling winemakers. Natalie has a new crush…GIN!
The importance of terroir or provenance is embedded in Natalie's DNA so her quest became how to share the unique spirit of the State in a bottle. In these two gins you will taste her journey throughout Tasmania displaying the heady aromas of Cradle Mountain and the crisp sharp notes of the temperate rainforest to the delicate floral perfumes of the East Coast. These gins are unique to Tasmania, they are the Essence and Quintessence of Native Tasmanian Gin.
In cocktail shaker, combine gin, lemon juice, ice and simple syrup, shake vigorously and strain into chilled Champagne flute, top with sparkling wine. Garnish with a long thin length of curled lemon peel and serve immediately.


Photograph collection of webmaster An early photograph of D5044, date unknown, but presumably at Stratford judging by the types of locomotives surrounding it. The locomotive appears to be in 'as delivered' condition from Crewe, it has gained the yellow warning panel and a steam style shed plate attached to the cab front. Surprisingly the roof mounted boiler water tank filler cover is still in place.
The sixteen year three month career of D5044/24044 saw allocations to Eastern Region, Southern Region and London Midland Region depots.
Full size fuel & water tanks (retained until withdrawal).
Original exhaust port covered but not immediately removed (circa 1963).
October 1959 to March (31B).
July 1960 to Ipswich (32B).
November 1960 to Hither Green (73C) on loan, made permanent November 1960.
January 1961 to Ipswich (32B).
August 1967 to Stoke Division (D05).
January 21st 1976 to unserviceable store.
January 31st 1976 - withdrawn.
After withdrawal 24044 was stored at Crewe until October 20th 1976 when it moved to Swindon Works and scrapped there by the third week of January 1977.
Movement: 24026/31/44/76 Crewe – Swindon October 18th 1976 by 25245.
Noted Derby Works November 1965.
Noted Crewe Works June 1968.
Noted Derby Works March & April 1969.
Noted Derby Works March & April 1974.
A design change was instituted from D5044 - the OK4616B steam heating boiler installed in D5000 - D5043 was replaced by the model L4610 capable of a steam rate of 1,000lb/hr. This boiler would become the standard for all further Class 24/25 orders The water tanks were reduced to 450 gallons giving a loco weight of 77 tons.
Whitsun Bank holiday found a number of Type 2s visiting Southend with excursions from the north London area, so noted were D5032/38/44 & 77.
The Southern Region borrowed D5044 & D5070 from Ipswich during November due to a shortage of boiler equipped locomotives, the loan for D5044 was brief, it returned to Ipswich (32B) during January 1961. It is uncertain as to what use was made of these locomotives on the SR - possibly they might have been filling in for non-availability of the LMR Class 24's currently on long term loan to Hither Green.
During the last week of January there were a number of Type 2 substitutions for the GE line Type 4s affected by the severe weather. So noted during this period amongst others was D5044 on the 12.40 Harwich - Rugby and D5018 on the 5.15 Colchester - Glasgow, both diesels being replaced at Peterborough.
Condition May: green livery with small yellow warning panels (recently repainted?), curved upper corners, frame level stripe not covered by yellow panel, small gap between bottom of warning panel and stripe, full size fuel & water tanks, steam style shed plate on cab front, two exhausts, the one above the boiler room blanked off, ridge sided sandboxes, two-rung bogie footsteps.
D5044 was noted at Derby Works during November. The use of Stratford as a heavy repair centre for the Class 24s had greatly diminished, with Doncaster and Derby taking over the overhauls, though Doncaster would eventually hand over its Class 24 repairs to Derby or Crewe.
As part of the plan to remove steam from the North West a large group of Class 24s were transferred to the Stoke Division (D05). These transfers included the Class 24s from the southern end of the WCML and all the Class 24s remaining in East Anglia. This included 5042/43/44, this would be their last reallocation, and from now on all would be familiar sights in the Crewe area. Their duties would include the WCML between Rugby & Preston, the North Wales main line and its branches, the Cambrian lines to Aberystwyth & Pwhelli and the miriad of lines in the Liverpool and Manchester areas. Although primarily to be used on freight workings they would from time to time be used on passenger services, particularly on summer excursions and extras. All heavy repairs would now generally be handled by Derby Works.
During April 5044 was noted at Derby Works, it was also seen at Crewe Works in June.
5044 visited Derby Works during March.
Services over the North Wales mainline were severed on May 24th when a fire seriously damaged the Menai Bridge. Trapped west of the bridge were seventy two coaches and thirteen diesels including 5034/44/83. A local service was instituted between Holyhead and the specially re-opened Llanfair P G station using diesel multiple units 50404 & 56167. Two Type 2s - 5034 & 5083 were to be kept on the island, their boilers were made serviceable or fitted with recently overhauled ones. 5044 and all the Type 4 diesels were later evacuated to the mainland by sea, giving 5044 the unique honour of being the only Class 24 to make an ocean voyage, albeit the short hop from Holyhead to Barrow.
Condition June: very work worn green livery with full yellow cab fronts, gangway doors still fitted, full size fuel & water tanks, boiler room grills still present, hand/footholds still present, cab roof ventilators above doors present, three-rung bogie footsteps.
24044 received its last overhaul at Derby during March & April, this recent overhaul would allow it to operate beyond the summer of 1975, a time when many would be stored/withdrawn. On November 10th (or 11th?) the locomotive was involved in a minor collision at Bangor with the 1J53 16.50 Holyhead - Manchester, presumably the damage was of a minor nature.
Photograph courtesy Stephen Dowle On February 21st 24044 & 24057, the latter still in green livery, arrived at Bristol with a freight from Holyhead. The picture above shows the pair dropping down onto Bath Road Depot. This location was no stranger to the Class 25s, however the Class 24s were very infrequent visitors here, especially in the twilight of their careers. 24057 is still in green livery, surprisingly it visited Derby Works shortly afterwards for overhaul, gaining blue livery and one of the last Class 24s to receive a heavy repair at Derby.
Photograph courtesy Tom Sutch A fine study of 24044 at Springs Branch on May 14th 1975, which provides an interesting contrast with the opening picture on this page. Obvious changes include the sheeting over of the gangway doors and the plating over of the footsteps/handholds to the roof level water filler. The boiler room grill has been fitted with a solid blanking plate and the builders plate has been moved to the cab door.
On September 25th the empty stock for a Leamington (?) - Aberystwyth (?) day excursion was delivered by 24044 & 24064, possibly then working the train forward to Coventry where a Class 85 took over. The Class 24s then ran light towards Birmingham, possibly to Bescot.
24044 just made it into the New Year before being withdrawn during January and stored, like many others at Crewe. On October 18th 25245 hauled 24026/31/44/76 from Crewe to Swindon Works. By the end of January 1977 24044 was no more.

Home Sports Bengals The Bengals Win at Last!
The Bengals Win at Last!
Andy Dalton did just enough on offense to support a superb defensive effort against the Jets, and the 0-fer is no more.
Robert Weintraub
Our Cincinnati Bengals and new head coach Zac Taylor finally won a game last Sunday. After a franchise-worst 0-11 record to start the season, the team got off the schneid, beating the New York Jets 22-6. Cue the Hallelujah chorus. Thank goodness for the Jets, who also lost to the winless (at the time) Dolphins earlier this season and once upon a time became the first team to ever lose to the expansion Tampa Bay Bucs, after that squad lost the first 26 games it played in the NFL. If the season truly doesn't start until after Thanksgiving, as Bill Belichick (and before him Bill Parcells) always says, then the Bengals are undefeated, baby!
And give it up for Andy D! Our man Dalton came off the bench to earn not only the crucial win that prevents the ignominy of a winless season—which clearly no one wanted—but also a couple of franchise career records (most TD passes and completions) and a well-earned game ball. If it was his last big moment in stripes, it was a dandy, even in a lost campaign.
I was more impressed with the defense, of course. Suddenly, they're as sharp as they have been in years. Going back to the Raiders game, the unit has allowed a single touchdown in the last 10 quarters: the fluke duck from Duck Devlin Hodges that, thanks to a couple of epic pratfalls by Bengals defensive backs, turned into a long TD pass. Otherwise, it's been nada, and just 29 points total over the last three games. Granted, the Raiders, the banged-up Steelers, and the Jets don't pose the same threat that Lamar Jackson does, for example, but it's unquestioned progress for a team that was at the league bottom in virtually every defensive category (save red zone defense, where Cincinnati is third-stingiest in the NFL). And these same Jets had scored 34 points in each of their previous three games, as hot as any team going before they made the mistake of wandering into the Jungle on Sunday.
Give some credit to embattled defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo for the improvement. As we all know, he wasn't hired until seemingly five minutes before opening kickoff, so in fairness it's been a ton of learning on the fly this season. The Preston Brown debacle was indicative—clearly Anarumo didn't think much of him, given that Brown was jettisoned a couple of weeks ago, but he'd already been given a contract by the clueless front office so there wasn't much choice but to play him.
Brown's removal from the premises has freed up Nick Vigil to play vastly superior football the last few weeks. Whether it's something in particular that scheme-wise he's being allowed to do now or just the knowledge that he doesn't have to cover for Brown's inadequacies, I'm not sure, but Vigil and rookie Germaine Pratt look much improved. The linebacking unit is still in dire need of upgrade and depth, but there was clearly some addition by subtraction. Darqueze Dennard has played well since his return from injury, and ditto Carl Lawson—his presence on the field changes so much about the defense it's really a shame he can't stay healthy.
Anarumo also used some interesting blitz packages Sunday that frazzled Sam Darnold, making him—dare I say?—see ghosts out there. Safety Jessie Bates came off the edge at least twice, his first blitzes of the season that I can recall. End Sam Hubbard was used as a standup middle linebacker before twisting around the likes of Carlos Dunlap, who demolished New York right tackle Kelvin Beachum all day (Los was credited with an insane 11 pressures to go with his three sacks). Andrew Brown was used to good effect, worsening Beachum's day by forcing a holding penalty in the end zone that became a safety.
Of course, the reason the defense's superb efforts of late haven't resulted in a winning streak was due to Ryan Finley playing quarterback. As I mentioned last week, if Andy Dalton had been under center in either of the last two games there's little doubt the Bengals would have won them, as proven by Sunday's game, when Red played decent enough to get the team in the W column. He wasn't spectacular, though the TD pass he tossed to Tyler Boyd was a thing of beauty, a rope into a tight window. But that's what AD gives you: When the defense and special teams are dominant, he'll get you enough points to win.
There was a ton of "See, Dalton wasn't the problem!" on social media Sunday, a classic case of missing the point, which commenters in that forum do so well. We all know Dalton is better than the likes of A.J. McCarron, Josh Jackson, Jeff Driskel, or any of the backup quarterbacks who have been in Cincinnati during his career. He's better than many starters across the league in his time, too. But he wasn't turning this particular team into anything other than another less-than-mediocre bunch. So why not ascertain what Finley could do? As it turns out, Dalton is better than him, too, which is hardly a shock. But thanks to the Finley experiment, Cincinnati remains in a spot to massively upgrade at the sport's most important position.
Miami and Washington did us a favor by winning on Sunday as well. Suddenly, the team jeopardizing our top overall pick status is the Giants. Even if Cincinnati should slide past them in the season's final furlong, Big Blue would almost certainly draft Chase Young and not a QB with the No. 1 pick, given they took Daniel Jones No. 6 overall last spring and their GM, Dave Gettleman, has his job and reputation firmly on the line with this upcoming pick. So the only risk would be another team dealing up to grab their QB of choice ahead of Cincinnati. But that's a fear for another day.
Meanwhile, because Dalton sat for those three weeks, we aren't looking at drafting somewhere in the 6-9 hellhole once again. That single move alone could wind up being the proximate cause of a bounce back toward playoff caliber football on the banks of the Ohio in seasons to come. It would be Red's largest contribution in many a year, and it came by not playing.
Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Director: H.C. Potter
Starring: Ole Olsen, Chic Johnson, Martha Raye, Hugh Hubert, Jane Frazee, Robert Paige
Written by: Nat Perrin, Warren Wilson and (uncredited additional material) Alex Gottlieb
Original Cert: U
Original release (USA): 26th Decemeber 1941
For all purposes, Hellzapoppin' is a film way before its time. A complete irrelevant, surreal and sometimes bonkers mix of comedy, revue and music, it took what the Marx Brothers started and pushed it too a whole new level of lunacy. Anarchic doesn't even come close to describing the levels of humour this film has to offer.
The plot, for what it's worth, is set around Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson making a film version of their hit Broadway revue, Hellzapoppin'. The director, not happy with it's off-beat madness, calls in a young script writer to come up with something more conventional, a love triangle centred on a production that is being put on to raise money and hopefully become a Broadway show. When Olsen and Johnson discover that the leading lady is in love with someone other than their friend, they decide the only course of action is to disrupt the show.
Now I know what you are thinking, it doesn't sound like much. Trust it, it's more than that. Plot isn't important. What is important is to have as much fun as possible and the level of energy that is emitted from this film is infectious. They break every possible rule going, from talking to the audience, playing around with the film itself, word-play, satire and one of the funniest running gags around (in which a man is looking for a woman at the beginning of the film, holding a small plant that grows throughout the picture).
It took cinematic humour to a whole new level. The Marx Brothers, famous for taking their shows and turning them into films, pushed the boundaries of comedy with freewheeling style. Olsen and Johnson just threw the rule book out the window. After a massively long run on Broadway, this film takes liberties constantly. During a romantic aria, they flash up notices for a young boy to go home, leading to the two singers, stopping mid song, to tell him to leave, followed by a silhouette getting up and walking out.
It is only the style of song that really ages this film, as musical numbers are staged to break the humour, although these are forgiven for the inventiveness and sheer attack they are given. One number includes a series of swimming pools in which the dancers are trampolining into the water and diving off boards a most unusual way. Ironically, the film was nominated for Best Song at the Oscars, for a song that doesn't even appear in the film. Yes, it's that anarchic.
One of the high-points is an incredibly impressive and fast-moving Lindy Hop dance routine, in which the performers are throwing each other around at such great speed, it literally takes your breath away.
Olsen and Johnson's style of comedy may not be for everyone's taste and if there was one part I would remove, it would be the pointless detective who is a master of disguise. His routines are sometimes testing and grating and you just want him to stop his annoying laugh. Yet the rest of the picture plays out like a dream and you can see how this has influenced so many other films and TV shows. Rowan and Martin cite the film as a huge influence for their 60s TV show Laugh-In but you can also see where Monty Python and Airplane! get their humour from too.
There are some films that date very badly. Hellzapoppin's isn't one of them. Ignore the musical interludes and enjoy a film packed with the craziest gags you will every see. It is a madcap blast.

The opening of an Australian flagship store has long been on the agenda for Saturdays NYC founders: Morgan Collett, Colin Turnstall and Josh Rosen. Following on from the success of their seven boutiques (two in NYC and four in Japan), Bondi Beach was an obvious choice for location: "The fact that the city was situated directly on the coast was incredibly special to us. We always said if we could find the right space we would opening in Bondi before anywhere else." Says co founder Morgan Collett.
The light, open space reflects the brand's modern aesthetic with local sourced timbers and materials used. Like in all stores, a combined retail /cafe experience remains a signature feature with specialty coffee served through a window providing an outdoor hangout for locals.
