ATLANTA—A recently discovered strain of custard could cause a worldwide flandemic, Centers For Dessert Control warned Monday. "We are warning...

HALLOWS EVE, RAVAGE, ASKA and TWISTED TOWER DIRE are among the confirmed bands for the Pathfinder Metalfest, set to take place October 23-24, 2009 at the Local Music Venue (inside Sidelines Sports Grille) in Marietta, Georgia.

The festival billing is as folows:

Friday, October 23:

RAVAGE
HALLOWS EVE
ZEPHANIAH
BRUTAL LANGUAGE
SERIES OVERKILL

Saturday, October 24:

ASKA
TWISTED TOWER DIRE
HALCYON WAY
A LOWER DEEP
VOR

The Local Music Venue boasts some of the best lighting and sound for a medium-sized venue in the metro Atlanta region. Along with the bands, there will be vendors selling modern and classic metal CDs, DVDs, and shirts.

Commented Hoyt Parris of Pathfinder Promotions, "We've worked steadily for three years at rebuilding the metro Atlanta metal scene with melodic, progressive, power, and thrash metal acts. And now as it appears we are on the cusp of the New Wave of Traditional Metal, we are proud to announce the culmination of those efforts.

"This 'fest' actually started off humbly enough as one of our monthly local showcases with a regional special guest. But word got out and we were bombarded with requests to join the bill by several acts who have played their share of fests all over the U.S. and Europe. So the Saturday show quickly grew and bled over into Friday night. And the rest will go down in history!"

Tickets are scheduled to go on sale on August 1 and will be available through Ticket Alternative as well as through the bands' web sites (via PayPal).

ERIE, PA—"I think I want Wendy's," Don Turnbee told reporters. "There hasn't been a Wendy's in a while so there will probably be one in a couple of exits."

There it is. Barely out of the bookstore but still in its shipping wrapper.

Not having delved very far in as yet (owing to slow shipping), I am still already struck by the floating conversation ... the in and out, the ebb and flux. It puts me in mind of parts of the film version of Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs, where we do not hear all of the conversations we can see are going on, because we don't have to hear them. We hear only what we need to hear. We need to know there are people talking, but we don't need to be directly party to every morsel of text. This first part of IJ feels not entirely dissimilar. We need to know things are being said, and who is present to say them, but we don't necessarily need to know every last bit. It is also a natural thing, when oozing in and out of concentration, not to hear every word that's said in your dancespace; and, unlike any other book I've read in my life, this portion of the book reflects that - reflects intermittent hearing.

I have been highlighting like a demon, struck by words and phrases (and I feel like a Guess Who song saying that) ... words I know, words I don't and needed to look up, words I had to call my mother to define for me (because her French is fluent and mine is ... not) ... and wonderfully evocative bites of text like: "slept like a graven image", "rickety alphabet of exposed plumbing", "carbonated silence", "inclined together in soft conference"; and, as others have pointed out, "my chest bumps like a dryer with shoes in it".

They keep telling you to trust the author. I do.

I don't know nearly enough to recognize the pattern and know what to do about it.... if anyone can give me info or even a pointer as to how to decipher this and what the problem is, that would be awesome.

Sounds dry, doesn't it? But when the archives in question are online, searchable, and drawn from 49 London-area newspapers from 1800 to 1900, things get a bit more interesting.</p>

The searches are free, as are articles from the Graphic and the Penny Illustrated Paper. Accessing the entire archive of digitized publications will cost, however. For around $12, you get 100 articles over 24 hours; for just over $16 you get 200 articles over seven days. Public libraries in the UK may be able to get free access.</p>

The academic applications are obvious and certainly cool on their own. What was the "must have" style during the War of 1812? What did early reviewers think of A Study In Scarlet? Researchers into family histories can gather not just names and locations, but day to day activities. Was your forefather a bookie? A "Charles Villiers Chapman" -- also operating under the name "Paul Coverdale" -- seems to have been. (I wonder how far back into my family tree I'd need to go to find him?) How were the shocking and turid events  that occurred in Whitechapel reported?</p>

Gamers, of course, have their own use: Victorian plots. Classic Call of Cthulhu scenarios can always use more atmosphere, and real newspaper clippings are just what the doctor ordered. Use it for "notes from back East" in Old West games. Throw bits from the society pages into your Castle Falkenstein campaign.</p>

Randy's Road Trip Update

Holiday weekend or not, Randy gets no rest! Today, he'll be in Baton Rouge, LA, visiting Little Wars from 3-6pm. His demo copy of Frag Gold Edition should fit right in!</p>

I got to have dinner with The Amazing Mris and her Merry Band, and she cooked, and I discovered that one can make something with paprika and saffron and it is very, very good.  I had never even thought of combining paprika and saffron.

Yum.

FAQ 117 doesn't really make it clear that you can use an old e-mail address to re-secure your LiveJournal account if it is compromised. I propose changing the second paragraph in the first bullet to read:

If the email address currently associated with your LiveJournal account has been compromised and you can no longer access it, you can use another email address previously validated on your LiveJournal account to complete these steps. Your LiveJournal password can always be reset by anyone with access to the current email address associated with your account, as well as any email address which was validated on your account before the current email address. Ultimately, the security of your first validated email address determines the security of your LiveJournal account.
