Reconnecting Glasgow's Chinatown
Inspired by the density of Hong Kong's urban landscape, the interior intervention of Glasgow's Chinatown Complex considers the contextual influences of cultural significance and sense of belonging for the Scottish-Chinese community residing in Glasgow.

In 1986, the year we graduated, Stac finally decided that she liked me this time. By now my hair had gotten long and grown out, my sense of style was a little more settled. She asked me to a girls choice dance at Logan (I went to a different High School). I remember we watched Psycho at someone's place of business down town on Main Street. I had a good time, but now I didn't like her the way she liked me. So this was the second of our formal dates in High School. We still hung around in the same group of friends, but the whole dating thing never clicked in High School. Later..... they would click and we'd get married, but that's later.

Before I get into this wonderful, wonderful album, I just wanted to mention that as the release date of the record approached, I tried to read some reviews on it to see what others thought. The sheer amount of awful websites that copy and paste the press release and pass that off as a review is staggering to me. It makes me wonder if any of them even bothered to listen to it.
It's very easy to write that John Reis is also in Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, Night Marchers, Sultans and more while pointing out the Rob Crow has history in Pinback, Thingy, Heavy Vegetable and others. Throw out that Atom Willard used to drum for Rocket From The Crypt and has spent time in Against Me, Special Goodness, Offspring, etc. And Maybe Jordan Clark will get a mention for his work in Mrs. Magician and The Soaks. Maybe.
Look at that. I just filled up an entire paragraph without actually saying anything. I'm not going to pretend that I'm a great writer with anything particularly useful to say. Anyone who reads this dumb website knows I just blather on about records and often I write more about my relationship to said record than any intricacy of what the record sounds like or is trying to convey. But I'll be damned if I just copy a press release and pretend I wrote it.
Diatribe aside, what you need to know about this PLOSIVS record is that it is unbelievably great. Mind-melting perfection. I have been a Swami devotee since about 1994, when I first got my hands on a borrowed copy of Circa: Now. Since then I have joyfully followed John to every band he has been a part of, loving every single thing he's ever touched. There's always been something about the way his songs come out that really connect to my ears. But even with all of that history and the insanely lofty expectations that come along with it, I was shocked by just how completely, ridiculously amazing this PLOSIVS record is.
You've got some of John's familiar aesthetic here for sure. The chugging guitar riffs that drive the songs and the intricate breakdowns that crop up and veer off into unexpected territory that miraculously makes perfect sense when it reconnects back to the main song structure. But as familiar as you might be with the tricks of John's trade, adding Rob Crow to the mix just blows up everything you thought you knew. Rob's complete mastery of vocal melodies and innate ability to cram a hook into a song that maybe wasn't expecting one elevates PLOSIVS into mythical territory.
I could go on and on and on about how much I adore Hot Snakes and Night Marchers and everything that John has been involved in, but this truly is one of the best records that has his name on it. Sure, Rocket will always be my favorite band he's done, but I'll put this PLOSIVS record up against anything he's done in the past, I don't know, twenty years? And that's twenty years filled with some of the greatest albums I've ever heard in my entire life.
I am a pretty big Pinback fan, I have all of the records and listen to them regularly (especially Summer In Abaddon), but PLOSIVS is probably the best thing Rob Crow has ever released in my humble opinion. There's an energy and a propulsion that I think is bringing out the best in him. I know that Atom is an incredible drummer and hearing him with John again is rekindling a magical connection. Pairing Atom with Jordan on bass gives these songs a depth and a vigor that reminds me a little bit of how Mark Trombino and Mike Kennedy created something really special in Drive Like Jehu. PLOSIVS has a completely different vibe than Jehu, but a killer rhythm section making songs magical is something they very much have in common.
There are two versions of the LP. The red vinyl is the regular edition that you can get at your local record store or online retailer of your choice. Once again a Swami related band has the black vinyl as the more limited version. So far it has only been available directly from the band at shows. I got my copy when I saw them play in Philadelphia. An unsurprisingly wonderful show. I am not positive that the black vinyl is limited to 200 copies, but if the quantities of other limited Swami releases are an indicator, I'm going to make an educated guess and just come back and correct it if I find out other information.
I don't know who is still reading at this point. If you come to this website, you probably are naturally inclined to like something like PLOSIVS. I don't know that anything I write is going to make you listen to this record if you weren't already planning to. But what I can say is that this is hands down the best album of 2022. It's probably the best record I've heard in the last ten years and I'm saying this with only about a month of listening to it. It's kind of crazy just how completely I've connected with this record. I love every second of it and can only wait, hoping for more. I have read that they've already recorded a lot of their second LP already. I would be happy to get two PLOSIVS records in a year. I'll take that every year.

Enjoy this scene from "Bunker Down”, our impromptu art event at Battery Chester in San Francisco’s Land’s End on Labor Day weekend.
Kudos to our friend Dr. Really (a.k.a Freddy Hahne), for masterfully organizing this surreal happening, with the help of Pataphysical Studios, our art collective! It was such a wonderful way to play and reconnect with each other in this dreamlike setting. :)
The event paid tribute to French poet Alfred Jarry, the founder of ‘Pataphysics, who inspired the Dada and Surrealist movements. Many of us read quotes from Jarry and his legendary character, the grotesque Père Ubu. On our makeshift stage, Dr. Fabio (a.k.a Fabrice Florin) and the Queen of the Desert (a.k.a. Priscilla Wheeler) re-enacted Ubu's mad quest for power, comparing it to Donald Trump’s own descent into darkness -- in both French and English. Thanks to all of you who booed, chanted and cheered along with us!
Many of our artist friends from Burning Man and Grateful Dead movements joined our celebration — including luminaries like artist David Best, musician David Gans and many more creative minds. Tip of the hat to our pals to Dr. Rindbrain (a.k.a. Howard Rheingold) for punctuating our performances with his magical drum, Dr. Tout d'Suite (a.k.a. Janey Fritsche) and Dr. Skidz (a.k.a. Marshall Smith) for contributing their fine paintings, to Dr. Helvetica (a.k.a. Kathy Lassen-Hahne), Dr. JudyJudy (Judy Rheingold) and Tory Farms for serving such delicious treats, to Dr. Figurine for bringing her paper bag masks — and to everyone who helped make this community event such a success!
Our experimental event demonstrated how the Golden Gate's military fortifications can be turned into incredible art and theatrical spaces! They're already filled with fantastic graffiti art, and can be quickly repurposed with original paintings, performance art and interactive exhibits to create an experience that’s truly out of this world. We may host more events like these in these exceptional settings.
Thanks to Phyllis Florin, Tim Pozar, Freddy Hahne, Stephanie Levene, Evelyn Messinger, Susana Millman, Vickisa Feinberg and Anne Coreo for their wonderful photos and videos of this historic occasion. This photo album was edited by Fabrice Florin. Vive la ‘Pataphysique!

Reconnecting young adults to nature by providing volunteer and employment opportunities to the next generation of resource stewards is a critical Secretarial and Service priority. In FY2014, the Dworshak National Fish Hatchery (Idaho) partnered with the Nez Perce Tribe who hired six youths through the Nez Perce's Clearwater River Coho Restoration/Tribal Fisheries Intern Development Program, a six-week program totaling 2,400 hours. Young tribal members had the opportunity to work at the Dworshak and Kooskia National Fish Hatcheries on Steelhead, Chinook, Coho spawning and rearing and kelt reconditioning. All youths participated in fish culture activities such as feeding fish, picking mortalities, tagging fish, fish health, cleaning ponds, daily record keeping, and spawning of salmonids. The interns also worked with the Idaho Fish Health Center laboratory. They conducted field work and were exposed to a broad suite of fisheries activities. Photo by Angela Feldmann/USFWS.

An inspirational group of Anons with custom OT Infinity shirts which said "I make up stuff all the time" on the back. OT8 is the highest "rank" in Scientology, where you supposedly gain superhuman powers and immortality. It's estimated to cost between $200,000 and $300,000 to get to OT8, but some have spent millions before they realized Scientology is really a global fascist scam, robbing it's members blind and subverting their free will.
Anonymous is all about the First Ammendment right to peaceful assembly. These are courageous people from all generations standing up against an evil, fascist commerical corporation mascarading as a "church".

Dozens of volunteers and staff braved heavy rains a couple of weeks ago to reach out to students who left school before graduating as part of the Reconnect to Your Future campaign.
This year nearly 40 volunteers – including board member Pam Knowles and former board member Bobbie Regan -- knocked on the doors of nearly 180 students in an effort to encourage them to return to school. It is also a way for the district to gather more accurate enrollment data.
Since the program began, Reconnect Services has reached out to more than 5-thousand students and almost 60 percent have re-enrolled.
This is the sixth year the Reconnection Services department has organized Reconnect to your future.

Reconnect with your ex
Sometimes, things just do not go as you planned. However, to get what you want takes commitment, dedication, and hard work. When it comes to relationships, it’s not all about what you do or what you have – it is mostly about knowing how to fight for what is yours. A relationship needs nurture and a lot of effort. Once you lose it, you will find that it is even harder to get the second time around. That is exactly what makes the second time around sweeter. Here are the things that you need to know on how to get him back:
The Challenge
To have your love returned is a big challenge but once you have done enough to hurt that person leading to a break up, it is an ever bigger challenge to get ex back. Once a person lets go, it means that their patience, desire, care, respect, and even their love were not enough to keep them holding on. It means that you have hurt that person and for most, getting them to open their heart for you is out of the question. However, getting an ex back is still possible. First, you have to accept that it might just be the biggest challenge that you take. Go through these steps if you want to know how to get an ex back:
Assess the situation. First, you need to be objective. You need to identify whether your ex considers getting back together as a possibility or not. Accurate assessment may not guarantee that you will win your ex back but it will help you have an idea on how much effort you will need and how to get ex back. You have to consider why exactly your relationship ended. Who ended it? How did it end? When you are able to answer these questions truthfully and objectively, then you will know whether your ex is open to a second try or not.
Open communication. Communication, especially an honest one, builds strong relationships. It can even mend broken relationships too. Before, during, and shortly after the break-up, what usually happens is that blames fly to and fro, curses, lies, and reliving the other’s mistakes during the relationship are done in turns. That will never work if you are looking for ways on how to win back your ex. This time, communicate humbly with only one thing in mind – to be with your ex again. If there is no
chance of talking to your ex face to face, a heartfelt letter might be more effective. Write down how you feel without blaming and without pointing out what should have happened instead outright. First, tell your ex how you feel and sincerely commit to changing what needs to be changed. This is a big leap on how to get a guy back.
Do not try too hard. Do not push too hard. You may think, “How to get my boyfriend back?” night and day but your ex does not need to know about it. Your ex does not need to feel it. Wounds take time to heal and make sure that you give your ex the time and space that he needs to heal and think things over. With luck, your ex may even realize that the breakup was a big mistake. Avoid appearing too desperate as although in some cases, this leads to getting back together, it also results to being taken for granted and no one wants that.
Rekindle desire. If you are thinking of ways on how to get your husband back or if you woke up one day thinking, “I want my ex boyfriend back,” then you have to remind him why he wanted you in the first place. Most boyfriends feel suffocated when they spend too much time with their girlfriends. Therefore, you should give him time to miss you. Remind him of your best girlfriend or wife qualities without appearing too “available”. Do not run to answer his call every time he calls your phone. Enjoy the time that you have as a single person while subtly working on how to get him back. Doing so may even lead to self-rediscovery and may even make you feel good about yourself. Once you are back on track, he will see what he’s missing.
Be what you want. You may be too busy looking for the best qualities in your significant other that you forget to look after yourself. Just like in looking for a good friend, you have to be one. So, when looking to bring out the best in your partner, you have to make sure that you are able to bring out the best in yourself first. Before you think, “How to get my husband back?” think of what is it that you should have for your husband to want you back.
Once that you have your ex back, then it is time to think about how to make it last the second time around. The answer to your question on how to get boyfriend back is just the beginning of another chapter in your life. Make it count.
Make your boyfriend happy
