Comments:Based in the Netherlands, with members from France, Italy, the U.K. and the Netherlands, indie-rock band Miss Wyoming is a critical homage to contemporary Western subculture.
Miss Wyoming's ability to write great songs was demonstrated by front man Pascal Hallibert, when he reached the finals of De Grote Prijs van Nederland (the largest national competition for pop music), in the singer/songwriter category. The band's most recent CD, Trailer Park, received positive reviews in local and national music press, including Musicmaker, Oor, Live XS and Stork on Stage and was chosen as demo by the week the national radio show Leidsekade Live.
The Miss Wyoming sound can be described as Shellac covering Teenage Fanclub and Velvet Underground playing Jezus Lizard songs.
In its first year, Miss Wyoming has matured into a hard working live act, bringing the songs to the audience with enthusiasm and a lot of energy and the occasional use of some more exotic instruments, the sitar for example. A Miss Wyoming performance, in a nutshell, is intense and full of energy, as witnessed by audiences in venues like (amongst other) 't Paard, Ekko, Winston Kingdom, Koornbeurs and the Plein Open festival.

In case anyone is interested, years ago I worked at the "Smith Creek Ranch"
out in Smith Creek, Nevada. On that ranch were some bat-caves which I
was taken to look at one day. The ranch manager at the time did not allow
anyone to take pictures at the ranch - he apparently didn't want anyone
to know about the caves. An old Mexican employee, Pedro, took me there
(without permission) so I did not have a camera with me. I quit that ranch
job soon after and never made it back to take pictures. HOWEVER ~ it made
such an impression on me that I have NEVER forgotten it! The sifted-flour
texture of the dirt/bat guana was very very deep, I am guessing the original
floor of the cave might have been maybe as much as 6' below where it was
then. We leaned over to get into the cave, and further inside, gradually
had to get on our knees then stomachs. The dirt we disturbed was choking,
and hung in the air. We had several flashlights and could find & view
the paintings/carvings easily. Some reddish brown and some orangeish brown
colors on the drawings farthest back in the cave still could be seen,
nearer the front they looked faded and more like old charcoal. I have
ALWAYS wished I had contacted some college Archaelogical people and gone
back for a close look. I am SOOOOOO sorry that I was so young and inexperienced
that I didn't even know I COULD have done so!! What I saw in that cave
was very much like what I've since seen in National Geographic magazines.
(Pedro assured me there were 'some others like it') The manager of the
cattle ranch obviously didn't want to be disturbed, he frowned on ANY
kind of 'company' to the ranch. The Owner didn't live there & I never
knew who it was. I would LOVE to hear about it, if anyone would go explore
it...

The
EuroPreArt project is proud to present its online database of European
Prehistoric Art. The web site is:
http://europreart.net
- It is possible
to browse 800 records (with more than 2700 pictures-tracings) and 2800 reference
titles, from the French Palaeolithic cave art to the Valcamonica Iron age
rock art.
- All databases
are fully searchable.
- A European
prehistoric art data entry model is available for downloads.
- A prehistoric
art sites visitor's etiquette is proposed.
- More features
like no-stop slide show and specific feedback forms are present.
- EuroPreArt
is a work in progress: it is open for future developments to archaeological
European Institutions or Researchers.
Seven European countries
are covered (Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden),
with important prehistoric art areas and sites like Coa (Portugal), Levantine
Art (Spain), Dordogne (France), Bohuslan (Sweden), County Kerry (Ireland), South
Italian cave art and Alpine rock art (Italy), Monfrague and Guadiana (Spain)
and more. EuroPreArt is funded by the European Union and presented by:
- Instituto
Politécnico de Tomar (IPT, Portugal)
- Consejo Superior

"…Prehistoric
Art is among the most important components of the European Heritage. It stands
as an example of the diversity of the cultural memories of the European territories,
but it also witnesses a common trend, a radical unity, in the emergence of symbolic
behaviour. The project aims to establish a lasting data-base of European prehistoric
art documentation, including images, to launch the base of an European institutional
network of units devoted to this domain, and to contribute to the awareness, among
European population, of the diversity and richness of European Prehistoric Art.
Ultimately, it should contribute to improve methodologies on techniques of inventory,
storing data, interdisciplinarity, networking and accessibility/diffusion, namely
using new information technologies…" (Luiz Oosterbeek, EuroPreArt co-ordinator)
"…The EuroPreArt Web homepage is a portal on prehistoric art in Europe. By
a culture-sharing philosophy it is the key to achieve the main goal of the EuroPreArt
project, the diffusion of the prehistoric art documentation. The whole structure
is planned to show in the simplest way the records of the prehistoric art and
bibliography databases, by a geographic intuitive interface or by the search select
criteria. The Europe click-sensitive map shows seven active areas: a click over
each one will open the specific country related set of records. Here a single
country is displayed and a click over the sensitive marked areas will disclose
a particular local set of records. The search features to query the entire database
for select criteria are quite extensive. It is possible to place options, keywords
or short groups of words in the most important fields, like name, area, keywords,
chronology and much more. The EuroPreArt Web site is database powered by BASERUNNER
and run by a fast Linux Apache server…". (Andrea Arcà, EuroPreArt
web-master) "...Prehistoric Art belongs to all of us and above all,
to future generations. Some sites are inside parks or protected areas but in Europe,
like in most zones throughout the world, rock-art and megalithic monuments are
unprotected and vulnerable. Simple rules, like the ones that follow (see online
site), can ensure that we—the visitors—do as much as we can to pass-on to our
children’s children the legacy that we received from our ancestors. These rules
are valid for most types of prehistoric vestiges, on private property or public
land, in enclosed or open spaces, in rock-shelters or caves, on mountains or in
museums. They should always be followed—for the sake of the preservation and conservation
of prehistoric art..." (Mila Simões de Abreu - IFRAO Portugal)

Comments:Alea jacta est. Within few hours the Portuguese-Spanish Alqueva dam water will start to submerge thousands of years of human history and archaeological remains: hundreds of prehistoric engraved rocks, Roman mills, millenarian olive-groves and cork-plantations will be lost forever under the Portuguese Archaeological Institute blessing. The natural river environment which will be destroyed is rich, invaluable and unpolluted. It is a fertile host of animals in extinction risk, one of the last remaining in Europe. The Alqueva dam will produce irreversible long-term damns to the local climate, offering unlikely benefits to the farmers and sure gains to the builders. The whole political Portuguese and European class incapacity to properly evaluate such a situation and mainly the Archaeological Portuguese and European milieu inability to oppose such a realisation make possible the perpetration of one of the largest environmental crimes ever committed in Europe. The flooding button which is switched on today is the act of an already resigning ministry, a sad last strike, a leaving the scene worthy of a régime last days piece. Some people will be remembered for what they built, some others for what they destroyed. Being unable of doing otherwise, we will try remember, at least, these facts and these responsibilities: to err is human; to persevere in it is evil.

Alea jacta est. L'acqua che tra poco riempirà l'invaso Ibero-Portoghese dell'Alqueva cancellerà per sempre, con la benedizione dell'Istituto Portoghese di Archeologia, millenni di archeologia e di storia umana e millenni di simbiosi tra uomo e territorio, dalle numerose e preziose testimonianze di arte preistorica ai mulini romani, agli uliveti e ai sughereti millenari. Distruggerà un ambiente fluviale naturale ricco, prezioso e incontaminato, tra gli ultimi a resistere in Europa, generoso ospite di specie a rischio di estinzione. A lungo termine creerà danni irreversibili al clima dell'intera regione circostante, a fronte di benefici molto improbabili per gli agricoltori e di guadagni certi per i costruttori. L'incapacità di tutta la classe politica Portoghese ed Europea di comprendere una tale situazione e soprattutto l'incapacità del mondo archeologico Portoghese ed Europeo di opporsi a tale realizzazione rendono possibile il compimento di uno dei più grandi crimini ambientali mai perpetrati in Europa. Il bottone che oggi viene premuto, quello che farà affluire l'acqua nell'invaso, è l'atto di un ministro già dimissionario in vista della prossima scadenza elettorale: un triste colpo di coda, un'uscita di scena degna di uno spettacolo da ultimi giorni di regime. Alcuni vengono ricordati per ciò che hanno costruito, altri per quello che hanno distrutto. Non potendo fare nulla altro, ricorderemo, almeno, questi fatti e queste responsabilità: errare è umano, perseverare è diabolico. Oddio, EDIA...
