Can anyone please tell me where I can get a copy of Milliontown without spending $60? If amazon et al are all out I guess we should be expecting another printing soon?
Cheers!

I actually bought EIMA both ways (first on itunes, then i saw the special edition in HMV randomly... in the pop section... fail).
£7.99 on itunes !

Would that be seen through by Major Bloodnock, Pedro?

Yup, for a first post, that's pretty much on the money for this place :D
Welcome to the madhouse, Neddie.
Ahh, welcome indeed. Take this inflatable picture of 3 shillings and sixpence and use it to hire some more nose polish for Mr. Geldray.

Welcome indeed sir!
Pull up a chair and help yourself to tea and biscuits. What's your favourite biccie, johnossian?
Welcome indeed, and a great first post! Moriarty, it's time for your ow. "Ow." Thank you. :)
Thank you all for the very kind welcome.
I must say, I am rather partial to a nice little Viscount. Mint version, obviously.
For those who are "not local", let's have a look and see what NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown.com (//http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/previous.php3?item=30) can tell us about those...
Quote from: "NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown.com"The Viscount design consists of a circular crunchy, slightly gritty biscuit base, with a small disc shaped blob of minty cream on top all covered in a fairly useful milk chocolate. Each biscuit is then wrapped in a square of colour coded foil, green for mint and orange for ... orange. Nowadays the foil also has words Viscount on it. The skilled Viscount eater will flatten out the foil and use it to make a small model or trinket.
Viscounts of old were highly regular affairs with their cream filling extending very close to the biscuit edge but today's Viscount seems to a bit chucked together. The review biscuit is by no means atypical with most of the packet looking like they had been in some sort of biscuit construction fight.
Excellent choice! :D

Ooh, specialist tastes! ;)

Have to say I'd go with the mint too.
I really want a Viscount now...
Now mouse, you must show constraint, you know too many biscuits are bad for you. :D

What? Most Marketplace sellers on Amazon rule big time. I have bought tons and tons of stuff at very low prices over the past few years, stuff that I probably couldn't have afforded if it weren't for them. It's those sellers that try to make money with releases that are (supposedly) out-of-print that are at best to be avoided.

I was only joking (wordplay based on the army rank "Private" and the fact that "Sellers" is a valid surname). Ignore me. :)
I wouldn't be happy if my privates were available on Amazon.

Do you normally put them on ebay then?
Nah, they have their own MySpace page.
Actually, it's a double page.

Can anyone access the myspace page or is it for members only ?
I hear it's testacular.
It's the bell of the balls, apparently.
Never mind Geetar's privates, though, did you all know that Maurice K. Temerlin (January 15, 1924 – January 15, 1988), was a psychologist and author?
His contribution "Suggestion Effects in Psychiatric Diagnosis," in the 1975 Thomas J. Scheff edited work Labelling Madness has been cited in the 1980 "Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science", and is referenced in the course "Perceptions of Mental Illness", at Brown University.
With chairman Margaret Singer, Temerlin served on the APA taskforce on Deceptive and Indirect Techniques of Persuasion and Control, from 1983 to 1986. Other notable scholars who served on the American Psychological Association Task Force included Harold Goldstein, Ph.D., National Institute of Mental Health, Michael Langone, Ph.D., American Family Foundation, Jesse S. Miller, Louis Jolyon West, University of California Los Angeles.
With his wife Jane W. Temerlin, Temerlin raised Lucy Temerlin, a chimpanzee owned by the Institute for Primate Studies at the University of Oklahoma at Norman, Oklahoma, in their home. Temerlin and his wife raised Lucy as if she were a human child, teaching her to eat with silverware, dress herself, flip through magazines, and sit in a chair at the dinner table. She was taught American Sign Language by primatologist Roger Fouts as part of an ape language project. Temerlin wrote the book Lucy: Growing Up Human: A Chimpanzee Daughter in a Psychotherapist's Family, analyzing the chimp's behaviour and describing her life.
Temerlin collaborated academically with his wife on articles, including "Psychotherapy Cults: An Iatrogenic Perversion," which was published in Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice. The work remains highly regarded, and is cited by numerous academicians, including Robert S. Pepper, Michael Langone, Guy Fielding and Sue Llewelyn, David A. Halperin, and Arnold Markowitz, and Dennis Tourish and Pauline Irving.
Fascinating.
But equally so is the fact that, despite Prof Temerlin having lived and worked in the US, whoever saw fit to write that Wikipedia entry wot u nicked ( ;) ) has a somewhat split US-UK personality when it comes to spelling, as witnessed in your purple sentence:
QuoteTemerlin wrote the book Lucy: Growing Up Human: A Chimpanzee Daughter in a Psychotherapist's Family, analyzing the chimp's behaviour and describing her life.
Surely "analysing" and "behaviour", or "analyzing" and "behavior", but not a mixture. Is that what the colour purple (sic) was trying to draw our attention to, Catherine?
I'd say it was more of a pink...
No, I just thought it was a particularly cool book title, only beating "Psychotherapy Cults: An Iatrogenic Perversion" by a small margin. At least the guy was consistent. If you're going to have a perversion, IMHO, you might as well have an iatrogenic one. But I think a Chimpanzee Daughter in a Psychotherapist's Family is quite something (speaking as a Materials Scientist Mother of two Orang Utan Sons).
On that subject, did you know that the term gamut was adopted from the field of music, where it means the set of pitches of which musical melodies are composed; Shakespeare's use of the term in The Taming of the Shrew is sometimes attributed to the author/musician, Thomas Morley? In the 1850s, the term was applied to a range of colors or hue, for example by Thomas De Quincey who wrote, "Porphyry, I have heard, runs through as large a gamut of hues as marble."
In color theory, the gamut of a device or process is that portion of the color space that can be represented, or reproduced. Generally, the color gamut is specified in the hue–saturation plane, as many systems can produce colors over a wide intensity range within their color gamut; in addition, for subtractive color systems, such as printing, the range of intensity available in the system is for the most part meaningless outside the context of its illumination.
When certain colors cannot be displayed within a particular color model, those colors are said to be out of gamut. For example, pure red which is contained in the RGB color model gamut is out of gamut in the CMYK model.
:mrgreen:
gamut's a great word. good name for a band.
