![]() (as is the case with all of the CD’s from HIP-O Select) The “packaging” is EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL LP. The packaging is “unique”, in that it is totally familiar. The first thing that I noticed when I opened up this CD was the unique packaging. HIP-O Select reissue on CD of the Buddy Miles Express -“Expressway To Your Skull” And now with the reissue by our friends at HIP-O Select we can relive it all over again. “Long haired hippies and Afro Blacks all get together across the tracks and have a BIG PARTY…”Īnd I was fortunate enough to be a part of it. Check it out!ĬD REVIEW – Buddy Miles Express -“Expressway To Your Skull” I’ll be wearing this CD out for a long while. If you dig that funkified cross pollination of Gospel, Blues, Rock, Soul, and R&B, of which Buddy Miles was one of the architects of, then you’ll love this. John McDermott writes the extensive liner notes and discusses Buddy’s pre Electric Flag days including his stint with The Delphonics, The Ink Spots, Wilson Picket, and session work with Greg and Duane Allman. The zenith of his career being the voice of the California Raisins and the collaboration with Billy Cox, Paul Rogers, and Slash on the project Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. It’s a very well put together greatest hits package with good liner notes giving you a basic chronology of his musical life. Hope you like horns because there’s horns everywhere on this recording. Billy Cox makes an appearance on Fuzz Bass on the song “Them Changes” with a full blown horn section playing the main riff. Though the earlier material has an Electric Flag feel to it (But a hell of a lot funkier!), you begin to hear his evolution and him coming into his own starting with the songs produced by Jimi: “Miss Lady” and “69 Freedom Special”. When he screams you feel like you’re in Church. Not even Sly Stone was able to combine Gospel, R&B, Soul, and Rock vocal stylings the way he did. His drumming is extremely solid, VERY powerful, and the groove is thick as a brick.Īs a singer he makes me envious. Buddy Miles is the star of this show and when you hear him sing and play drums there’s absolutely no confusion as to who this is. Big afros, funky horn sections, the blending of musical styles, and fat-back drumming. It takes you back to that late 60’s early 70’s sound. This is a great riding around in your car “Time Traveling” CD. I hadn’t really heard much of his stuff without Jimi so out of curiosity I picked it up. I found myself strollin’ through Tower Records the other day when my eye caught a copy of the CD The Best of Buddy Miles.

The macula further subdivides into the following sequentially-smaller concentric zones that characteristically show decreasing rod density and fewer layers of cells covering the photoreceptor cells:īlood vessels and the choroid vascularizes the retina. In the center of the macula is an avascular depression called the fovea, which contains a high concentration of cones. Dietary supplementation of lutein and zeaxanthin has been shown to increase pigment density and is associated with reduced risk of diabetic retinopathy in adults and retinopathy of prematurity in infants born pre-term. These macular pigments are known to have anti-inflammatory and blue-light filtering properties. ![]() Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that make up the macular pigments and produce the yellow coloring. It is found temporally from the optic disc upon fundoscopic examination. The macula, also called the macula lutea for its yellowish pigmented appearance, makes up the most sensitive area of the retina, offering the highest visual acuity. RPE cells are crucial in the support and maintenance of both photoreceptor cells and the underlying capillary endothelium. ![]() This proximity allows for the recycling of all- trans-retinal back into 11- cis-retinal and its delivery back to the cones and rods to be used again for phototransduction. The RPE cells intermingle with the outer segments of the rods and cones. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) contributes to the blood-retinal barrier in conjunction with the endothelium of the retinal vessels and has many functions including ion and water transport and secretion of growth factors and cytokines. ![]() Retinal Pigment Epithelium – the outermost retinal layer that spans a width of a single cell located between the neural retina and the Bruch membrane, adjacent to the highly-vascularized choroid layer. The retina, more specifically, subdivides into ten distinct layers that are described in order from the innermost layers closer to the pupil to the layers further towards the posterior and periphery of the eyeball: Vitamin A deficiency is a significant risk factor for blindness in young children and remains prominent in under-developed regions, including South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Retinal is vitamin A aldehyde, making vitamin A an essential dietary component for the facilitation of the phototransduction pathway. Rod cells contain rhodopsin, which is a light-sensitive pigment made of retinal that allows for the absorption of photons. The overlap of detectable wavelength spectrums between the three types of cones results in the visible light spectrum perceived by humans. In terms of sensing colored light, each type of cone cell can respectively characterize as detecting blue, green, and red wavelengths. There exist three types of cones including tritans, deutrans, and protans, named for detecting short, medium, and long wavelengths, respectively. There are approximately 6 million cones and often more than 100 million rods within the retina. Cones localize in the center of the retina at the fovea. Cones are more sensitive in daylight (photopic vision) and capture wavelengths of colored light. Rods are more sensitive in dim light (scotopic vision) and reside in the periphery of the retina. Photoreceptor cells include rods and cones and are uniquely located towards the posterior aspect of the retinal sublayers, further away from the pupil where light enters the eye. ![]() Who should everyone be reading that they’re not? I really don't have the time, and often feel envious of people who can sit leisurely at a cafe and read a magazine. I usually skip straight to the sections or writers that interest me the most. What’s your reading strategy when you pick up a print copy of your favorite publication? I’ve actually been using the Iraqi poetry book a lot recently, as I've been reciting some of the poems and recording the words on a reel-to-reel tape player, which I’ll then use to pitch the audio up and down. Right now I’m working my way through Real Estate by Deborah Levy, Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, A Tapestry of Contemporary Iraqi Poetry by Inaam Al-Hashimi, and Conversations with Iannis Xenakis by Bàlint András Varga. It's a little stop and start, so I usually have to go back a few pages and re-read to refresh my memory. I usually have a few books going simultaneously, and I read what I'm in the mood for on any given night. Yorgos Lanthimos is apparently adapting it into a film. The main character is extremely unlikeable, but her obsession with sleep makes her relatable to me. My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Otessa Moshfegh. Literature: I have an account on Goodreads, where I follow friends to see what their latest reads and recommendations are. The name comes from the word “gomer,” which stands for “get out of my emergency room,” a phrase taken from Samuel Shem’s House of God, a must-read book that’s something of right of passage for all doctors. I also love GomerBlog, which is like The Onion but for doctors. Medical news: I read the Life in the Fast Lane blog, subscribe to Uptodate, and listen to EM:RAP, an emergency medicine podcast. I also read and post on the Modwiggler (modular synthesis) and Gearspace (production and music tech) forums. ![]() Music-making: I subscribe to DivKid 's and Loopop 's modular synth/music gear Patreons and always look at what Hainbach is doing on YouTube for weird electronic music experimentation. We are always recommending things and exchanging new music, frequently sending our tapes and records to one another. I’m also part of a virtual Instagram “scene” that includes musicians and small independent labels from around the world. That sounds more creepy than intended, but it lets you enjoy the music in peace without things escalating into an online popularity contest-there is real value in that. Even though Bandcamp isn’t really social media, I quite like that you can follow people without having to interact with them. Aside from that, I follow writers and musicians I like on Bandcamp to see what their purchase history looks like and get new music suggestions. Music news: The Wire is my favourite print publication, and I also read and sometimes write for First Floor, my husband’s newsletter about electronic music. I actually just finished mixing them in Mallorca last week, so I'm very happy and relieved. ![]() I also make music myself and am working on my first two solo releases right now. A few weeks ago I arranged a small concert inside the factory and it was really special, with people mingling between the machines and listening to the various sounds bouncing around the space. I love this process-even when you make a mistake with the printing, you don't want to throw the paper away because it's so beautiful and unique. A lot of my tape covers are made at an old letterpress factory here in Barcelona, where everything is typeset by hand and printed using 100-year-old machines. I started Paralaxe in 2014 with the idea of creating limited-edition objects with a focus on packaging and design. When I’m in Barcelona, I run Paralaxe Editions, a platform that makes tapes/records/books, puts on experimental music shows, and also has a monthly radio show on dublab. ![]() Aside from everyday accidents and emergencies, a lot of my work involves arranging plane retrievals for my patients, as we send them to larger centers where there are more medical resources to manage their problems. For the last five years, I've been working in a town called Geraldton, which has a sizable indigenous population and like many small towns also has a troublesome drug problem. (The other half I spend in Barcelona, where I work on my creative projects.) I’m what’s called a "locum" doctor, which basically means that I fill in areas of need, usually in remote areas of the country. I was born in Baghdad, grew up in Tasmania, and now live in Barcelona, although I live something of a double life, spending half of the year working as an emergency medicine doctor in Australia. ![]() Why You Should Use Safari Private Browsing on Macs and iOS It only takes a short command to nuke files or entire directories in this app forever!

Anytime, McKnight's final album with Mercury, sold over two million copies and was nominated for a Grammy. It was followed by two more albums for Mercury, I Remember You (1995) and Anytime (1997). The album also featured the ballad, and Top 20 single, " One Last Cry". His first release was " The Way Love Goes", which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. His self-titled debut album Brian McKnight was released in 1992, and peaked at number 58 on the Billboard 200 chart. This encouraged McKnight to shop his own demo tapes and by the age of 19, he signed his first recording deal with Mercury Records subsidiary, Wing Records. McKnight III (and his band Take 6), signed a record deal with Warner Brothers subsidiary Reprise Records in 1987, releasing their self-titled debut in the Spring of 1988. Career Mercury Records: Brian McKnight and Anytime (1990–1997) By the age of 18, he was offered a publishing deal. McKnight formed a band and began performing his original songs at local venues. McKnight explored different genres of music, and in his early teens, he started musical ambitions by composing instrumental material while learning to play several instruments. His music experience began in childhood when he became a member of his church choir, which was directed by his grandfather. ![]() ![]() McKnight was born in Buffalo, New York to Claude McKnight, Jr. His work has earned him 16 Grammy Awards nominations, third only to Zubin Mehta and Snoop Dogg for the record of most Grammy nominations without a win. McKnight is known for his songs from albums such as Brian McKnight (platinum debut), Anytime and Back at One. He is most recognized for his strong head voice, high belting range, and melisma. Brian Kelly McKnight (born June 5, 1969) is an American singer, songwriter, actor, record producer, radio host, and multi-instrumentalist. However, if you have an electric car and an electric vehicle charging point in your drive or garage, you could make thousands over the year by renting it out to other EV owners. There can be many miles between charging stations, many of them don’t work and if they do you have to have the right app to use them. It’s going to be quite a project!Īnyone I know who has an electric car, or has hired one, complains bitterly about how difficult it is to charge it. ‘Often, once we have removed the clutter it’s easier to see how to create a room that we will love to be in.’Īfter the builders have put down the floors and sorted the kitchen, my next job will definitely be to chuck the clutter. If the answer is no, then it needs to go. If you’re struggling to decide what items should stay or go, think about whether they conjure up a happy memory. Catharina Bjorkman, Scandi interiors expert at Contura stoves, says: ‘In order to create a space that promotes wellbeing, you must first declutter it. Wallpaper is also a great way to update furniture, it can be used to line drawers or even to decoupage furniture to create a totally new look.’Īnd don’t underestimate the power of a good clear-out. If you do use wallpaper and have some left over, use the off-cuts creatively too, suggests Danielle Bayliss from flooring specialists Tapi, who says: ‘Add wallpaper into panelling to create pops of colour and pattern on your walls. You can go for wallpaper or a more expensive paint because you only need a smaller amount.’ ‘Keep walls plain, but accessorise with colourful cushions and a rug.Īlso, if money is tight, just splash out on one feature wall. They can even mix bespoke colours.’Įmily Ratcliff has suggestions on how to be more creative with colour on a budget. They look at it all, grade it and remix it so you can buy from them at a fraction of the cost. She explains: ‘They make use of paint that would otherwise be taken to the recycling centre or dumped in landfill. She also recommends the Seagulls charity in Yorkshire () which recycles paint. If you do use wallpaper and have some left over, use the off-cuts creatively too ‘Often the kitchen units they have are not even that old and they are removed very carefully from the previous property.’ ‘They’re good at recycling and refreshing and repurposing,’ she says. Linda Barker is also a fan of re-sale site Rehome (.uk) for cheaper kitchens. The last time I went to one they had a set of lovely oak dining chairs that went for just £10 each - and that was in London. If you have the time, it’s well worth attending a few sales at your local auction house to see what you can pick up and, possibly, upcycle. ‘You could also get creative and reupholster an old chair with a fun patterned fabric to create a statement piece.’Īctually, speaking of old furniture, you’ll remember I’ve mentioned auction houses in the past, and the amazing bargains to be had. ‘You can easily sand down and paint an old bookshelf or dresser in a trendy colour like navy blue or emerald green,’ she suggests. Jamie Robinson, interior designer with Value Doors, agrees. ‘There are videos on YouTube that show you how to do it.’ ‘Go to charity shops and find cheap items there that you can upholster yourself,’ she says. Their website has a section that shows you how to create a ‘mood board’ for a room.ĭesigners Guild consultant Emily Ratcliff has some thirfty tips on pepping up a room on a budget. I’m a big fan of colour so I’ve also been looking at Designers Guild, which specialises in fabrics in bold designs (). ![]() She also recommends looking for discounts on soft furnishings now, as retailers often drop prices on these products in the summer to boost sales as demand is higher in the winter. ‘Look at page two and page three as there are often good deals to be had.’ ![]() She also advises to not just click on the first few results that come up on Google. Go for ex-display furniture where you can.’ ‘The computer is your best friend,’ she says. Happily, I’ve managed to get some tips from some interiors specialists, such as TV’s Linda Barker, who has her own range of curtains and bedlinen with Terrys Fabrics.
