    3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 1 of 129 INTRODUCTION After years of pondering over how awesome it would be to release a compilation of bands from all around the world, we have finally gone and done just that! We asked bands to submit a song and bio for this huge compilation and the response was fantastic. This free e-book is our way of saying thanks to the readers of Heavy Planet and a terrific way to promote some amazing bands spanning the Stoner Rock, Doom, Psychedelic and Sludge Metal genres. Many thanks goes out to all of the bands and labels for allowing us to use their music and most of all to you the readers for making Heavy Planet what it has become today. Cheers! Enjoy and Doom on! ~Reg 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 2 of 129 THE ALBUM TITLE I asked my talented group of writers to come up with a name for the compilation and a bunch of different titles were thrown around but one truly encapsulated what Heavy Planet is about. Misha suggested..."Bong Hits From the Astral Basement", we all agreed and here it is, sixty-one of the finest bands from all around the world. Following are the biographies of each band and the artist that contributed the killer artwork. 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 3 of 129 THE BANDS 1000MODS 1000mods is a psychedelic/stoner rock band from Chiliomodi, Greece. They were formed in the summer of 2006 and since then, they have played over 100 live shows, including openings for Brant Bjork, Colour Haze, Karma to Burn, My Sleeping Karma, Radio Moscow and many others.

  • Pioneering Projects
    PIONEERING PROJECTS When you are on a Good Turn Hike or an Environmental Conservation Camp or simply doing it out of necessity, you can build emergency bridges, water dams, emergency shelters, rafts, snares, fish traps, tree bark utensils, and other similar pioneering projects. Bridge Building In building a bridge, you must select the site of the bridge carefully. Will the bank be washed away by erosion? Will driftwood jam against the bridge? Build where the stream is straight, never at bends. If you plan to put trestles or posts, build them on hard or rocky bottom, not on soft mud. Light Pole Bridge. This bridge is good for shallow water. Make enough shear legs to support the bridge every two meters across the stream. To make shear legs, lash two 5-cm. diameter poles together about one meter from the top with shear lashing. Then put a horizontal brace using a pole across the butt end with square lashings. Then lash a shorter pole to the fork to form a footway and another to one of the pole tops to form a handrail. You have made one complete bay. Make two of these bays – one on each side of the stream. Set the first bay on solid ground, anchoring the shore ends of the footway and handrail with guy ropes. Then pass out the second bay and put it into position in the other side of the stream. A line rigged to the base of the shear pole will help you a lot. Lash to bay number one at once.

  • Website Press Release
    The Blue Dolphins - Come On! -- PRESS RELEASE On September 18, 2015, Los Angeles, CA-based eclectic, melodic pop-rock duo The Blue Dolphins will follow up this year's six-song Walking in the Sun EP with their sophomore full-length, Come On!, a fourteen track collection of California-sun soaked roots songs that travel the landscape of memorable melodies, intricate guitar solos, luscious vocal harmonies, and uplifting lyrics, all wrapped up in fantastic production. Comprised of two-time Grammy Award winner engineer Alfonso Rodenas on guitar and Victoria Scott on lead vocals, the duo released the Walking in the Sun EP in May, a prelude to the forthcoming full-length; Walking in the Sun contains six songs Come On!. Prior releases include their debut full-length, 2012's My Favorite Word Is Todayand 2013's In Between EP. Come On! is a major push forward for The Blue Dolphins, reaching towards a more complex and fully produced music scenario, where sonic aesthetics and songwriting are richer and more varied, departing from the pared-down premises and acoustic songs that characterized My Favorite Word Is Today. Come On! embraces folk, pop, and roots-rock with the duo's characteristic optimism and charm. Victoria Scott and Alfonso Rodenas fatefully met at the legendary rock pit The Cat Club on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles and soon started playing and recording together. Formed in 2010, The Blue Dolphins released their debut full-length and gigged constantly over the following two years in California and Western Europe - earning them a dedicated fan base in the U.S., U.K., and Spain.

    Field trip guide to the middle Eocene Wildcat Mountain Caldera, Ochoco National Forest, Crook County, Oregon by Jason D. McClaughry1, Caroline L. Gordon2, and Mark L.

Geologic factors that control landslide deposits and mineralization in the east part of the Lower Crooked Basin are discussed. This field trip is 152.7 km (94.9 mi).

  • Little White Salmon Valley Memories
    LITTLE WHITE SALMON AREA MEMORIES (MILL A FLATS) Composed by Carl Nielsen of Mill A Flat (circa 1973-74) Early-day flume at Mill A. LITTLE WHITE SALMON AREA MEMORIES (MILL A FLATS) Composed by Carl Nielsen of Mill A Flat (circa 1973-74) Only reasonable care has been made to fix dates, names and places accurately. Part of the narrative is based upon the recollections of people who told their stories at various times to the author. Part is based upon the authors own observations and from historical publications pertaining to this region. Without diligent search of the records it would be hard to determine at what date the first white settlers came to the valley. Land deeds in the authors possession show a homestead patent in the Mill A area granted in 1881. If the pioneer had put in his waiting period on the claim it would mean that he was probably living here in the late 1870s. Many people were living on timber claims in the 1880s and 1890s. The trail along the north shore of the Columbia which passes through the lower part of the Little White Samon Valley was no doubt in use by the Indians for hundreds of years before the whites came. The trail was used by the early-day trappers, particularly the Hudsons Bay Co., and later by the pioneers who crossed the plains. Many of them drove their stock down the trail while rafting their wagons and other goods through the gorge. Some of these people may have explored or camped a litttle in the valley before continuing their journey.
