Post-Japan, David Sylvian has produced a consistently evolving and increasingly intense series of solo albums, in particular over the last decade. Culminating in 2009's profound, stark and troubling Manafon, these intimate releases have run parallel to Sylvian's simultaneous collaborative work, with a wide and eclectic range of musicians and artists.
Sleepwalkers is compilation of some of the most significant of these collaborations from the '00s. It features reworkings of previously released material (some radically changed, some merely tweaked), outtakes from earlier albums, and one brand new work. It also represents, in Sylvian's own words, the "more playful side" of his body of work.
So, for those whose experiences of his music to date have come from the two previous albums - Blemish and Manafon - there is a lightness of touch and optimism of mood found here that will seem revelatory. Money For All and Ballad Of A Deadman, the latter featuring Joan Wasser and Sylvian's brother Steve Jansen, are both accessible, tuneful and animated. World Citizen - I Won't Be Disappointed, meanwhile, sings of "break[ing] the indifference", while Sylvian even claims to be "optimistically inclined" in the otherwise fairly bleak break-up song The Day The Earth Stole Heaven.
There is also a fresh earthiness to the work of this artist who has often in the past seemed not quite "of this world". A couple of tracks are peppered with some choice profanities: opener Sleepwalkers ("you fucking sleepwalkers") and Angels, where the "fuck you" is spoken, almost exhaled with a quiet menace. In Thermal he has produced a sensual, sexual and intimate rumination on his lover's body that is both upfront and erotic.
Of course, all is not sweetness and light, even on this playful side-piece. Anger runs through tracks like Sleepwalkers and Angels, while Playground Matters has a nostalgic and sorrowful tone, and Exit/Delete tells a stark and tragic tale of what appears to be "Caroline"'s (drug-induced?) death, poignantly, heartbreakingly asking: "How can it be as quiet as this / This close to the edge?" Several songs also seem to allude to relationship break-ups or breakdown - The Day The Earth Stole Heaven, Exit/Delete and Wonderful World.
This last, created with Nine Horses, is one of the standout album tracks. It's a gloriously tuneful and mellifluous take on pessimism, the accompanying female vocals somehow managing to be simultaneously emotionless yet expressive. Also marvellous are the collaboration with long-time ally Ryuichi Sakamoto, World Citizen, and the mellow, brass-inflected The Day The Earth Stole Heaven. Trauma, closing the album, is its most atmospheric track, an outtake from album-before-last Blemish that features a throbbing, resonating, pulsing backing punctuated by harsh noises such as spiralling wails, deep drones and near-shrieks.
Perhaps the most "difficult" track on the album, in terms of the challenge it presents to the casual listener, is the previously unreleased Five Lines - the first product of the current working partnership between Sylvian and Japanese classical composer Dai Fujikura. This is one of those tracks that seems crammed so full of ideas that it struggles to hang together thematically, lyrically or musically, so tightly has it been packed.
Positioning itself in a niche somewhere between the avant-garde and the more esoteric brand of pop music, this album would serve as a great "way in" to the work of Sylvian and, indeed, his musical partners. Thoughtful, considered, sombre yet still capable of surprising, it is surely set to be recognised as one of 2010's more cerebral listening pleasures.

Death stalks the sleepwalker
What led a young, successful artist to hang himself? Harry de Quetteville in London explores the terrifying phenomenon of parasomnia pseudo-suicide.
By Harry de Quetteville, The Daily Telegraph September 15, 2010
StoryPhotos ( 1 )
Tobias Wong's family says he could perform highly complex actions while remaining fast asleep -- cooking a meal, browsing the Internet, making purchases on eBay, even doing some design work.
Photograph by: Andrew H. Walker, Getty Images, The Daily TelegraphIt was on a warm and sunny Saturday in New York, back in May, that Tobias Wong killed himself.
The 35-year-old designer had slept in, then browsed a local farmers' market for flowers to plant in his window box. In the evening, he wrote some e-mails while lying on the couch, and then dozed off. The next morning, he was found to have hanged himself. The problem was that, according to his partner, who discovered his body, the dead man had, quite literally, not been in control of his own actions.
Wong, a brilliantly talented conceptual artist, had shown no signs of depression. On the contrary, he was excited by his growing reputation in the design world, where his witty, provocative pieces -- a duvet made from bulletproof Kevlar; a book of dollar bills assembled like a block of Post-It notes; a gold-plated, disposable pen -- had been highly praised. About to open a new design agency, he was working himself hard, but not into the ground. His eyes, said his boyfriend Tim Dubitsky, were fixed on the future. They had even talked about having a child through a surrogate mother.
But there was one long-term issue, a problem that had bedevilled Wong throughout his short life: sleepwalking. Bizarrely, he could perform highly complex actions while remaining fast asleep -- cooking a meal, browsing the Internet, making purchases on eBay, even doing some design work, such as whipping up costumes for his pet cats, or preparing and sending out bills to his clients. His family and friends had learned to look for the telltale signs -- a slightly glassy expression on his face; a sense that he was looking through people, not at them.
Sometimes, the sleepwalking would manifest itself through odd, out-of-character behaviour. Last year, a diner at a restaurant near his home in Manhattan's East Village was surprised to find Wong purloining sausages from his plate. He had turned up for a business meeting over breakfast, despite being fast asleep.
Inevitably, the condition had its dangers. When Wong returned home to visit his parents in their high-rise apartment, his mother would line up chairs in front of the balcony to prevent accidents, as well as laying out food to stop him rooting through the pantry. At times, he would appear to be stranded in a nightmare from which he could not wake -- a syndrome that researchers call "sleep terrors."
On these occasions, Dubitsky might find Wong sobbing to himself, or trying to flee an imaginary intruder. Once, when Wong mistook his partner for a murderer, Dubitsky struggled to reason with him. "I would hold him and talk to him, just reassure him it's something else," he said in an interview after Wong's death. "I'd try to bring him back to reality."
According to specialists, sleepwalking and sleep terrors are part of the same phenomenon, locking sufferers into a state between wakefulness and sleep. The symptoms Wong displayed are known as parasomnias, undesirable physical events that occur during entry to, or a disturbance from, sleep.
"Parasomnias occur with 12 per cent of children up to the age of 18, rising to a peak of 17 per cent at age 12," explains Dr. Michel Cramer Bornemann of the Sleep Disorders Center in Minnesota. "As the brain matures, these behaviours dissipate, but four per cent of adults continue sleepwalking."
Dr. Mark Mahowald, the director of the centre, says that chronic sufferers are "awake enough to perform very complex behaviours, but not awake enough to be aware of or responsible for what they're doing." Crucially, the brain's prefrontal cortex -- the part of the brain where intent, awareness and motivation reside -- is not engaged.
Such research leads inevitably to a chilling question: If sufferers are awake enough to perform complex actions, but stripped of awareness by sleep, might they, in an extreme case, unwittingly kill themselves? In other words, did Tobias Wong commit an act, while asleep, that he would have never contemplated while awake? And if so, can he rightly be said to have committed suicide?
Dubitsky is certain that this is the case. "This wasn't a typical suicide," he told the New York Times. "He wasn't angry, he wasn't sad, he wasn't upset. We were always thinking about our future. We wanted kids. We wanted to find a house."
Cramer Bornemann agrees. If the prefrontal cortex is not accessible, he says, "it's technically not suicide. It's an accident."
The idea that while sleepwalking, the body can overthrow the primacy of the mind, seems like a terrifying reversal of the natural order of things.
But Wong's case is by no means unique. Michael Cox, a trainee manager at a tool shop in Gloucestershire, England, hanged himself in 2001. At the inquest, the coroner's court heard that he was a frequent sleepwalker who had watched Schindler's List on the night of his death -- a film that ends with a graphic hanging.
Jonathan Bird, an expert in sleep disorders at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, suggested at the inquest that it was possible, although highly unusual, that the scene had lingered in Cox's brain. "Michael's reported history of sleepwalking certainly makes a sleepwalking death more possible," Bird said. "I cannot absolutely rule out sleepwalking as the cause for death."
Cases of suicide while sleepwalking -- known as parasomnia pseudo-suicide -- are relatively rare. But there are many more deaths that occur due to accidents: sleepwalkers strolling into traffic, or falling from windows.
In 2008, Australian sports fans were shocked to learn that Clinton Grybas, a popular television presenter, had died, aged 32, after hitting his head while sleepwalking. Grybas had previously terrified himself by managing to get onto his balcony while asleep. As with Wong, his family was convinced he had never wanted to do himself any harm.
And although death is the most dramatic consequence of such extreme cases of sleepwalking, it is only one of several unwelcome outcomes. In 2006, the researchers in Minnesota began working with defence lawyers and prosecutors around the world who were concerned that their cases involved people who were not fully aware of -- and so not fully liable for -- their actions.
Over three years, the team was asked to investigate 130 cases. These included 41 charges of sexual assault; 31 of drunk driving; two of burglary; and 25 of murder or attempted murder.
The team found that while half of the cases could be attributed to the misuse of sleeping tablets or to narcolepsy (a condition whose sufferers suddenly fall asleep), 59 were due to parasomnias. Of those, four were cases of parasomnia pseudo-suicide.
The results have had such far-reaching legal consequences that Cramer Bornemann has set up a specialist unit, "sleep forensics," to help courts judge whether defendants are responsible for their actions or simply sleepwalking.
The first successful "sleepwalking defence," he observes, was made in Boston in 1846, when a man was acquitted of murder after claiming he was not conscious during the killing. A century-and-a-half later, a defendant in Canada was acquitted of murder and attempted murder after repeatedly stabbing his mother- and father-in-law while sleepwalking.
In the case of Michael Cox, the coroner recorded an open verdict, rather than consider it a suicide. "The experts say a sleepwalking death was very unlikely, but they cannot totally rule it out," he noted. "It is sufficient for the purposes of the law that other possibilities do exist."
In New York, a medical examiner ruled that Tobias Wong committed suicide by hanging. However, his partner, and many of his friends, continue to believe that the true cause of his death was murder -- and that the perpetrator was his own slumbering mind.

Death stalks the sleepwalker
What led a young, successful artist to hang himself? Harry de Quetteville in London explores the terrifying phenomenon of parasomnia pseudo-suicide.
By Harry de Quetteville, The Daily Telegraph September 15, 2010
StoryPhotos ( 1 )
Tobias Wong's family says he could perform highly complex actions while remaining fast asleep -- cooking a meal, browsing the Internet, making purchases on eBay, even doing some design work.
Photograph by: Andrew H. Walker, Getty Images, The Daily TelegraphIt was on a warm and sunny Saturday in New York, back in May, that Tobias Wong killed himself.
The 35-year-old designer had slept in, then browsed a local farmers' market for flowers to plant in his window box. In the evening, he wrote some e-mails while lying on the couch, and then dozed off. The next morning, he was found to have hanged himself. The problem was that, according to his partner, who discovered his body, the dead man had, quite literally, not been in control of his own actions.
Wong, a brilliantly talented conceptual artist, had shown no signs of depression. On the contrary, he was excited by his growing reputation in the design world, where his witty, provocative pieces -- a duvet made from bulletproof Kevlar; a book of dollar bills assembled like a block of Post-It notes; a gold-plated, disposable pen -- had been highly praised. About to open a new design agency, he was working himself hard, but not into the ground. His eyes, said his boyfriend Tim Dubitsky, were fixed on the future. They had even talked about having a child through a surrogate mother.
But there was one long-term issue, a problem that had bedevilled Wong throughout his short life: sleepwalking. Bizarrely, he could perform highly complex actions while remaining fast asleep -- cooking a meal, browsing the Internet, making purchases on eBay, even doing some design work, such as whipping up costumes for his pet cats, or preparing and sending out bills to his clients. His family and friends had learned to look for the telltale signs -- a slightly glassy expression on his face; a sense that he was looking through people, not at them.
Sometimes, the sleepwalking would manifest itself through odd, out-of-character behaviour. Last year, a diner at a restaurant near his home in Manhattan's East Village was surprised to find Wong purloining sausages from his plate. He had turned up for a business meeting over breakfast, despite being fast asleep.
Inevitably, the condition had its dangers. When Wong returned home to visit his parents in their high-rise apartment, his mother would line up chairs in front of the balcony to prevent accidents, as well as laying out food to stop him rooting through the pantry. At times, he would appear to be stranded in a nightmare from which he could not wake -- a syndrome that researchers call "sleep terrors."
On these occasions, Dubitsky might find Wong sobbing to himself, or trying to flee an imaginary intruder. Once, when Wong mistook his partner for a murderer, Dubitsky struggled to reason with him. "I would hold him and talk to him, just reassure him it's something else," he said in an interview after Wong's death. "I'd try to bring him back to reality."
According to specialists, sleepwalking and sleep terrors are part of the same phenomenon, locking sufferers into a state between wakefulness and sleep. The symptoms Wong displayed are known as parasomnias, undesirable physical events that occur during entry to, or a disturbance from, sleep.
"Parasomnias occur with 12 per cent of children up to the age of 18, rising to a peak of 17 per cent at age 12," explains Dr. Michel Cramer Bornemann of the Sleep Disorders Center in Minnesota. "As the brain matures, these behaviours dissipate, but four per cent of adults continue sleepwalking."
Dr. Mark Mahowald, the director of the centre, says that chronic sufferers are "awake enough to perform very complex behaviours, but not awake enough to be aware of or responsible for what they're doing." Crucially, the brain's prefrontal cortex -- the part of the brain where intent, awareness and motivation reside -- is not engaged.
Such research leads inevitably to a chilling question: If sufferers are awake enough to perform complex actions, but stripped of awareness by sleep, might they, in an extreme case, unwittingly kill themselves? In other words, did Tobias Wong commit an act, while asleep, that he would have never contemplated while awake? And if so, can he rightly be said to have committed suicide?
Dubitsky is certain that this is the case. "This wasn't a typical suicide," he told the New York Times. "He wasn't angry, he wasn't sad, he wasn't upset. We were always thinking about our future. We wanted kids. We wanted to find a house."
Cramer Bornemann agrees. If the prefrontal cortex is not accessible, he says, "it's technically not suicide. It's an accident."
The idea that while sleepwalking, the body can overthrow the primacy of the mind, seems like a terrifying reversal of the natural order of things.
But Wong's case is by no means unique. Michael Cox, a trainee manager at a tool shop in Gloucestershire, England, hanged himself in 2001. At the inquest, the coroner's court heard that he was a frequent sleepwalker who had watched Schindler's List on the night of his death -- a film that ends with a graphic hanging.
Jonathan Bird, an expert in sleep disorders at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, suggested at the inquest that it was possible, although highly unusual, that the scene had lingered in Cox's brain. "Michael's reported history of sleepwalking certainly makes a sleepwalking death more possible," Bird said. "I cannot absolutely rule out sleepwalking as the cause for death."
Cases of suicide while sleepwalking -- known as parasomnia pseudo-suicide -- are relatively rare. But there are many more deaths that occur due to accidents: sleepwalkers strolling into traffic, or falling from windows.
In 2008, Australian sports fans were shocked to learn that Clinton Grybas, a popular television presenter, had died, aged 32, after hitting his head while sleepwalking. Grybas had previously terrified himself by managing to get onto his balcony while asleep. As with Wong, his family was convinced he had never wanted to do himself any harm.
And although death is the most dramatic consequence of such extreme cases of sleepwalking, it is only one of several unwelcome outcomes. In 2006, the researchers in Minnesota began working with defence lawyers and prosecutors around the world who were concerned that their cases involved people who were not fully aware of -- and so not fully liable for -- their actions.
Over three years, the team was asked to investigate 130 cases. These included 41 charges of sexual assault; 31 of drunk driving; two of burglary; and 25 of murder or attempted murder.
The team found that while half of the cases could be attributed to the misuse of sleeping tablets or to narcolepsy (a condition whose sufferers suddenly fall asleep), 59 were due to parasomnias. Of those, four were cases of parasomnia pseudo-suicide.
The results have had such far-reaching legal consequences that Cramer Bornemann has set up a specialist unit, "sleep forensics," to help courts judge whether defendants are responsible for their actions or simply sleepwalking.
The first successful "sleepwalking defence," he observes, was made in Boston in 1846, when a man was acquitted of murder after claiming he was not conscious during the killing. A century-and-a-half later, a defendant in Canada was acquitted of murder and attempted murder after repeatedly stabbing his mother- and father-in-law while sleepwalking.
In the case of Michael Cox, the coroner recorded an open verdict, rather than consider it a suicide. "The experts say a sleepwalking death was very unlikely, but they cannot totally rule it out," he noted. "It is sufficient for the purposes of the law that other possibilities do exist."
In New York, a medical examiner ruled that Tobias Wong committed suicide by hanging. However, his partner, and many of his friends, continue to believe that the true cause of his death was murder -- and that the perpetrator was his own slumbering mind.

BG5
The Kardashians are some of the hardest working women in showbiz, so when Kris Jenner struggled to decide whether to manage the girl group BG5 (short for Beach Girl5) on last night’s season premiere episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, we’re sure you’ve been scouring the internet trying to find out more about them.
Well, look no further, because Celebuzz has all the inside info on what you need to know about music’s hottest up and coming girl group. Here's five interesting little tidbits to school you on everything BG5:
1. Volleyball brought them together
One of the first things you need to know about BG5 is how they met.
The girls, Brooke Adams, Noreen Juliano, Mandy Jiroux, Laura New and Dominique Domingo, all met while on the Professional Volleyball AVP tour.
Although they had been booked to perform individually, the girls quickly bonded and realized they made a great team. When the tour ended, they decided to band together to create new music and began performing shows as Beach Girl5.
2. They’ve got the Rock Mafia on their side
When you hear the name Rock Mafia, you think huge stars like Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus. But now when you hear that name, Beach Girl5 will be added to that list.
That’s right, one of music’s most successful producers has been collaborating with the ladies of BG5, and it’s not just the legendary producers that will make their music rock.
Each lady has been creatively involved with every track on their new album.
3. Fifteen City Tour Starts in November
If you liked what you saw on Keeping Up last night, you’ll be able to see BG5 perform in a city near you starting in November.
Although their first single Scratch won’t be released until January, you can get a sneak peek of their catchy sounds in one of the fifteen cities they’ll be visiting (or in this YouTube teaser!).
And don’t worry, these girls will not disappoint. They’ve had plenty of practice in the last few months, including opening for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez at this year’s PopCon.
4. They're No Strangers to Showbiz
Before creating BG5, each girl had experienced success in the biz from record contracts to back up dancing, so everyone had something unique to bring to the table. Noreen and Mandy each spent time as back up dancers before joining BG5. Noreen worked with Eminem and Wade Robson, while Mandy toured with Miley Cyrus, who is still a close friend.
Brooke signed a record contract at the age of 14, and Laura began performing in various theater productions in her native Sydney at a young age. Dominique met Noreen while on the set of Bring It On, and the two went on to sing in the group Soxx, which experienced much success in Germany.
5. Took Home the top prize at Wango Tango's Breakout Stars Contest
Every year, KIIS FM hosts the widely popular concert, Wango Tango which has boasted artists such as Usher, Lady GaGa and Enrique Iglesias. Along with the concert, they host the Break Out Stars contest which features only the most talented new artists.
This year, BG5 were lucky enough to stand out from the crowd and take home the top spot. Along with a $10,000 prize, they were given the honor of performing in front of thousands of concert goers.
With the talent they possess and a manager like Kris Jenner, the ladies of BG5 have all the tools necessary for success and are well on their way to becoming music's next big thing.

Review The Mist:
Did you know that the Mist Review,Everyone thought of him as no risk of lightning rain. When Dave Drayton noticed a strange mist on the lake, he was not thinking about it. When his son, Billy Drayton, neighbor Brent Norton, and he went to the supermarket, absurd things began to happen. On their way to market, they saw the army, including fire police directed toward the mist. When he saw this Brent mentions something about “Project Arrowhead”, undisclosed military plan that no one knows. As they shopped, they saw three men walk the army, only to pick up a few points, then headed toward the mist. All eighty buyers shop did not know what was happening, while the old man ran to the market with a bleeding nose and shouted, “Something in the mist!” He asked them to close the door. On a few seconds later they closed the door, while all the shake shop, as if he was raised feet above the ground.

Great Geauga County Fair: Chickens Fly at Great Geauga County Fair
By Jaclyn Gallucci on September 5th, 2010
Unfortunately, we don’t have anything like this on Long Island but for those in Ohio, the oldest fair in the state, the Great Geauga County Fair, began on Thursday to kick off the long Labor Day weekend.
For the 188th year, the Great Geauga County Fair featured it’s annual Chicken Flying Contest to begin the festivities with packed grandstands–and lots of chickens.

Well, this year more than 30 people competed to see how far their chicken, placed in a mailbox, would fly when let out of the 15-foot-high mailbox.
The winner and the farthest flying chicken clocked in at a distance of 25 feet.

Goshen Fair a gold mine for charities
BY JOHN MCKENNA REPUBLICAN-AMERICAN
Registered Users can view mulitiple photos when available.
GOSHEN — Three good days at the Goshen Fair are all it takes for American Legion Post 46 to raise enough money to fund its charities for one year.
If Saturday was an indication of what's to come today and Monday, Post 46 is on target to rake in some serious cash. Post members and some volunteers manned the post's food booth near the fairgrounds entrance and were kept hopping by a constant parade of customers on a bright and breezy day.
"We do one thing at the fair and we do it right," Post 46 Commander Ed Wright said. "The money we make will carry us through the year."
Post 46 funds scholarships, donates clothing to state veterans hospitals, plants new flags each year at the graves of Goshen veterans, and holds veterans recognition programs. It also has an active Ladies Auxiliary that works to benefit the community. Wright said the post will cook 800 pounds of hamburgers and 400 pounds of hot dogs over the weekend. A few burgers and dogs were cooked by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dan Malloy, who stopped in during his campaign visit to the fairgrounds.

Robert Schimmel Photo
A photo of Robert Schimmel after the car accident has been released online, but we couldn’t post it as the content is really disturbing. Comedian Robert Schimmel passed away Friday after having been severely injured in an Aug. 26 car accident. While traveling in Arizona, Schimmel’s 19-year-old daughter Aliyah who was driving, tried to avoid a collision and made her car to flip multiple times.
Aliyah survived the accident and is in stable condition, but her father couldn’t hande the injuries. “Robert Schimmel was one of the funniest and nicest guys in comedy,” Jimmy Kimmel tweeted.
“I’m so sad about Robert Schimmel dying,” fellow funnyman Penn Jillette added. “I’ve been checking the news for 3 hours hoping it wasn’t true. He was very funny and wonderful.”
