Advantages: Cute pets, not as hard to look after as made out to be!! Disadvantages: Becareful around other pets!
Hey,
i have two tortoises,
but there only small and because of there species won't get much bigger!
Tortoises are made out to be really hard to look after but there really not!!
If you have a dog it's not a really good idea to have tortoises unless you know your dog is unable to get near them!
Tortoises are really cute!!
Even though tortoises are made out to only eat lettuce there really not allowed it (well not much a little shouldn't hurt)
but they do eat other salads!!
If you give your tortoise carrot make sure it's grated because there not allowed chunks of it!!!
Becareful what differant sexes you put together because they may fight!!
Hope this info has helped!!!
Have fun looking after your tortoises!! ...
Standards is Tortoise's 6th album.
It was released in 2000-2001, under Warp Records (instead of the usual Thrill Jockey label). In my opinion, Standards manages to converge their 1994 album Tortoise, Rhythms Resolutions and Clusters (1995), Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1996), TNT (1998) and their In The Fishtank Ep (1999) into a perfect whole, and thus producing one of their best releases.
In other words, Standards is the perfect Tortoise album.
Tortoise's style seems to fit somewhere in between post-rock, the industrial scene, jazz, electronica and dub. But there again, like most avant-guard music, the outcome of all these influences converge into a whole new style.
I have always considered Standards, along with all other Tortoise albums, as being heavily jazz orientated.
Standards has a running time of 44 minutes approx ...
Advantages: Great people ,great food. Disadvantages: Restricted range of dates.
I’ve recently come back from a year travelling and one of the highlights of my trip was the two week trip I took from San Francisco to New York on the Green Tortoise.
The company was formed in the 1960s when there were lots of little illegal hippy companies offering trips round the US. The Green Tortoise went legal and now has a network of buses doing trips in the US and Central America. Trips range from an overnight stay in Yosemite National Park to 15 days in Costa Rica and Panama. The company is a bit of a folk legend in the US - everywhere you stop, people come to say hello and tell you tales about their trips on the bus 30 years ago.
If you’re looking to get off the tourist trail and don’t mind making your own dinner, then the Green Tortoise is a great way to travel.
The buses are all old Greyhound coaches about ...

Album Reviews
Spin (p.98) - "BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP restlessly shifts from frenetic, bottom-heavy fuzz-rock to snoozy Weather Channel interludes to snarling, techno-tinged world music." Alternative Press (p.131) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP's killer first track is an eight-minute, sour mash of bass-heavy synthesizer funk..."
Album Notes
Returning after a five-year gap (which, granted, included a box set and a collaborative record with Bonnie "Prince" Billy), Tortoise confronted a pair of age-old musical questions: does anyone really care about an experimental rock group after 15 years, and does said group actually have anything to say after that length of time... BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP neatly squashes all those questions and assumptions, revealing a band that is just as fascinated with sound--and just as intrigued by its myriad possibilities--as they were when they debuted in 1993. The time signatures are constantly shifting, the lights of vitality and inventiveness they displayed twelve years earlier are completely undimmed, and the reference points for their music are constantly expanding. The spaghetti Western impressionism of "The Fall of Seven Diamonds Plus One" would be perfect for their excellent TNT LP, and the group get positively off-the-wall at the end, with a pair of songs ("Monument Six One Thousand" and "Charteroak Foundation") that pit guitar lines over drums-and-bass tracks that don't sound as if they were recorded for the same selection. It can be incredibly difficult for an experimental group to continue experimenting for years on end without getting stale, but Tortoise achieve that balance effortlessly.
