Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad Discussion
Trainer Tools and Resources
They keep coming...another patch today, look more like a mp game !
And now a new update..., Wonder if they will ease up with the updates so we can have a trainer
y do they feel the urge to release a game that's not properly tested or finished? does somebody put a gun to their head? seriously?
Why they do it? I guess because they are always on a rush. They don't see the smile of gamers in the back of their mind. They see profit when they make a game. Yes, money matters, but when you annoy the very source that provides you with that money which you crave so much, you begin to loose what you wanted in first place: more customers.
This is not just about games' patches. Look at COD series. I'm not here to start a fanboy rage...since it is stupid to actually fight about a software that is nothing but codes and gfx. BUT look at what games have become.
The whole gaming industry is falling apart.

I promised you two icons today loves, and I am nothing if not kinda reliable. For the lace edition, I have the stunning and graceful beauties of Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides. The Lisbon sisters, headed by Lux Lisbon (played by Kirsten Dunst), are as delicate as lace itself. Fragile, lovely, ladylike and perhaps with a bit of a conservative stigma attached. Set in the 70's in a small town, the lives of the Lisbons was tragic and romantic at the same time. Enjoy the inspiration below!

The Updated 2011 World Flag
We are excited to bring you the updated 2011 edition of The World Flag! Since its inception in 1988, there have been four different versions of The Flag; each edition offers a reflection of our world during that time in history. Some of the major changes on the 2011 World Flag are the Arab Spring nations connected in the shape of a bird in flight; the new flags of, Malawi, Libya, Lesotho, Burma, and Venezuela; and the addition of South Sudan as a new country.

Double Chin Treatments
Deoxycholic acid is the first Health Canada approved non-surgical injection for improvement in the appearance of a double-chin in adults.
At Vive® Rejuvenation Clinic, we see many patients – both men and women of all ages – who are concerned about having a double chin, with their main complaint being that it makes them look older and heavier. Most of our clients have an otherwise balanced facial appearance, they eat healthy and exercise regularly, however, sub-mental fullness may be a result of normal aging and genetics, sometimes resistant to diet and exercise. We offer a safe option to our patients seeking a non-surgical solution to minimize a double chin.
Deoxycholic acid is a non-human and non-animal formulation of a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown of fat and the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. According to a 2015 survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 67 percent of consumers are bothered by sub-mental fullness*.
Deoxycholic acid injections are administered by our physicians and registered nurses as a series of injections into the area of chin fullness. Many patients notice visible results in two to four treatments and up to six treatments may be administered. Treatments are done every six to eight weeks, and each in-office treatment session lasts approximately thirty minutes with relatively easy recovery. The most common side effects of the treatment are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, areas of hardness, tingling or itchiness, all of which recede over time during the recovery phase.
Book a medical consultation to find out if this treatment is right for you. Call us at 403.237.8428.

Artie Lange banned from ESPN, loses Comedy Central gig after racist, sexist rant
Comedian Artie Lange isn't going to be on ESPN anytime soon after his sexually charged and racist Twitter rant on Wednesday directed at ESPN reporter Cari Champion.
In it, he explicitly detailed his sexual fantasy with the sports journalist.
"The chick on ESPNs First Take is so Fu**in hot," he tweeted.
Howard Stern's former sidekick then described a "slave fantasy" involving Champion.
ESPN's rep told FOX411: "His (Lange's) comments were reprehensible and no one should be subjected to such hateful language. They objectify and demean one of our valued employees under the thin guise of 'comedy' and are offensive to all of us. We will not dignify them with any other comment."
Lange tweeted an apology, saying it was a joke, but it was too late.
TMZ reported that ESPN had banned the controversial comic from ever appearing on the network, and Lang also lost a scheduled Comedy Central appearance due to his comments.
FOX411 reached out to Lange and Champion, but did not receive comment.

Matt Cutts announced on Twitter a new algorithm update targeting exact match domains launched on Sept 28,2012. Google is targeting what they deem to be 'low quality exact match domains"
From my personal experience, I don't understand the filter they are using, it doesn't really seem to make sense? We have been wanting an update like this from Google for quite a while now - there is nothing quite as annoying as having a crappy MFA EMD site rank at the top of the SERPS while a really good quality professional website languishes at the top of page two - but so far are a little underwhelmed by the result. Granted this is based on only a cursory look at the results (we don't spend a tonne of time on EMD's) but from what I have been reading online, there are many many website owners that are just as confused.
"I checked my stats this morning and visitor numbers have plummeted. My domain name has no bearing on my keywords, and I do not have a spammy website. I've maintained it for about 7 or 8 years, and it's always done well. I keep it up-to-date, and have designed and written it myself. I have great natural backlinks (many one-way), and have never paid for traffic. Having checked there was no downtime, I saw this thread and have seen they have rolled some updates."
"Forgot to add to my previous post that a really spammy version of one of my sites is ranking much better on page 1 today! It's a site we were using for test purposes and threw a load of crap at it. So they killed my really good site but have promoted my really bad, very spammy links, site in place of it. Go figure."
"I don't see any change in my niche, sites with exact or partial matches are right there. What qualifies as low quality exact matches?"
"We have seven sites in a specific niche but they are all partial match domains. Four have been hit by this update. The other three, for now, appear to be ok. All are UK hosted websites, running Wordpress. All on same server and all are running Adsense. They all share the same Adsense account….The only thing I can think that has triggered these four sites to get hit is the lack of link diversity. These are the sites have spent all year getting decent links for but the link text variation is low. The three sites which so far seem ok have had less link work done to them and that is why perhaps they will be ok. Therefore, my initial observation regarding what Matt says are "low quality" sites are those where the backlinks mostly contain the same text. By the way, all of our sites have 100% unique well written content and are updated frequently. They are good sites and we have been very proud of them. "
Anyone else been affected by this update? I am curious to hear your experience and what you plan to do to get past it. Also love to hear if you DID manage to get past it.
I wonder how many people out there actually use Sitelinks in their Google Adwords campaign, I don't know the answer, but I can tell you that they are crazy not to. By pretty much any measure I have run across and my own experience, Adding appropriate sitelinks to a google adwords campaign can have a dramatically positive impact on click through rate.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Adwords Sitelinks, they aren't new - they have been around since late 2009. They are links to particular pages of your site that you can add to an Adwords campaign so that they show up directly underneath your Ad - kind of like site links in organic listings. The big difference is that you get to decide what the links are and where the links are pointed to on your website. According to Google Adwords Help on the topic "The sitelinks ad extension lets you show links to pages from your website, in addition to the main landing page, beneath the text of your ads."
It is a pretty cool feature and Google will show up to six site links attached to any particular Ad, all at no extra cost (actual number of site links displayed will depend on the browser and form factor (desktop/tablet/mobile)
By most studies, Adwords site links can increase CTR by 30% with the added benefit of having your ad take up more real estate in the search listings (making your competitors ads or organic results farther down the page. It is also a really great format for users to get an idea of what your site is about before they even click through to it.
So what is this new change that Google just announced? Well, Google's policy for Adwords sitelinks is that each link must link to a different landing page and in the past they either weren't enforcing or weren't watching and some Adwords advertisers were simply creating a bunch of sitelinks that with different words that all pointed to the same page (providing a negative user experience).
According to Google "Our existing policy has required each sitelink in a campaign to link to a different landing page. That means a user would have a meaningfully different experience on the landing page from each sitelink. Recently, though, we've noticed an increase in the number of sitelinks created with the same landing page URLs or identical content. So starting today, we are beginning more proactive enforcement of our policy."
I don't think this will affect any of the campaigns that we run for clients because we are pretty careful in the first place, but I am pretty sure some people will not figure it out right away! How about you? Think you will start using Sitelinks? Anyone had their Ads penalized for improper sitelinks?
The recent news spanning the SEOsphere these days is from Google's recent move to reduce the number of search results on page one for SOME queries from ten results to only seven. It may not sound like much but that is a 30% drop in the number of pages that can rank on page one. And the preliminary research so far seems to indicate that it is affecting close to 20% of searches (See SEOMoz article by Dr. Pete and Wordstream analysis by Larry Kim for more details)
In fact, Dr. Pete's analysis of the top ten SERPs for 1,000 Searches showed that almost 20% were showing only seven results. It is interesting that searching from here in Vancouver, Canada, I am NOT seeing the same degree of impact which suggests that it has not been universally rolled out yet. What I am able to replicate is that for any BRANDED search (searching for Outcome3 for example which is clearly a 'brand' search returns only seven search results).
According to the admittedly limited research over at WordStream, Larry Kim discovered that
Larry goes on to report that he was even seeing Searches with only 5 (yes five) results on page one! That is a 50% decline in the number of results on page one.
The combined affects of a reduction in results for branded terms ('Navigational' terms as Wordstream and others refer to them) along with the promotion of the importance of Brand to search results overall is means that the first page results for these type of searches are pretty homogenous - just look at the Outcome3 example in this post - all results barring one are controlled by me. This is GREAT from the brand owners perspective and arguably from the web searchers perspective as well. Logically, in most cases, when someone types in a brand name, it is because they want to go to the brand controlled site and never go past the first few results to do so.
Yes (as many argue) this is not always the case - perhaps I am doing comparative research, perhaps I am looking for independent reviews etc. but I think in most cases, the searcher will type in a more modified search than simply a brand/navigational search (ie "Outcome3 seo review" to find those comparitive or informational type search results for which Google is still returning 10 SERPS.
Well, it means that trying to compete for a page one listing for Brand like search phrases is now extremely difficult if not impossible (for all but the least competitive brand searches). If you were the type to be skeptical of a for profit corporation, one might be forgiven for thinking that Google had a profit motive for reducing the number of search results and making it near impossible to rank for branded,highly commercial terms...hmm, let me see, I can no longer rank organically for the term 'adwords', so now I am going to have to move to PAID search to get traffic ???
What do you think? 7 results instead of 10 - a continued journey to improve search results? or a push for more revenue from Adwords?
As most SEOs know, even a first page #10 ranking far outstrips the traffic that results from a second page listing. I know
Neilson's Social Media Report is still among the most current comprehensive research out there. In their Social Media Report: Q3 2011 Nielson dug deep into the social media world and its denizens to uncover some truly interesting statistics. A little while ago we posted some of their research about Social Media Usage Statistics and this post is about where people spend their time online.
While Online Gaming plays a huge part of our online universe (9.8%), it pales compared to the time spent on Blogs and Social Media (22.5%). I think the most interesting statistic is that according to this research, we only spend 2.6% of our online time reading news and only 4% using Search (think how profitable Search is for Google and yet it represents such a small portion of our time online.
It is no wonder that social networks like Facebook are garnering such astronomical valuations) and a whopping 35% on 'other' things that consume less then 2% each (it is a huge category with more than 40 items in it.

While we were scrolling through adorable photos of tiny houses, the San Francisco–based architect David Baker was doing backyard homesteaders one better with an ambitious project of his own. With its shiny recycled-metal rain screen and jauntily angled rooftop solar array, the 712-square-foot Zero Cottage is both charming and formidably sustainable.
The structure has already made LEED for Homes Platinum and scored 203 GreenPoints, and it is targeting Passivhaus and net-zero energy. When all the certifications come in, the cottage will have more titles per square foot than Denver's prefab tiny Starbucks.
Built over a ground-floor workshop, the cottage is a narrow, vertical column of rooms. A steep metal stepladder leads from the kitchen and living area on the first level to the bed and bath upstairs. Baker salvaged the cottage's wood floors from an Oakland pasta factory on the site of Tassafaronga Village, one of David Baker + Partners Architects' many affordable housing developments in the Bay Area.
With high-efficiency insulation, triple-glazed windows, and a heat-recovery ventilator, the cottage stays warm year-round without a heating system (though San Francisco's never-freezing climate deserves some credit, too).
For the past two years, Baker has been chronicling the construction process on the Zero Cottage blog. Designing for oneself can make experimenting easier: On his website, the architect muses about his experiments with the metal rainscreen. The tiles, which contain some mirror stainless steel, produce reflections that, he writes, might cause problems in a public space. And then there's the noise: "The tiles rattle a bit in the wind. I choose to think of this as a charming effect similar to rain on a steel roof. Others might not be so amused."

There are many considerations involved in choosing a cheap all terrain vehicle (ATV) that will be best for you. One of the biggest factors is how much money you have to spend on a cheap ATV, which may play a role in determining quality, condition, brand, and the number of special features included. To obtain the cheapest ATV, many people choose to purchase a pre-owned model. Other people opt to search for the cheapest new ATV they can find, perhaps looking for sales or discounts that will significantly lessen the price.
If you are shopping for a used ATV, the condition of the vehicle can be important. If the ATV has too many mechanical or other issues, it may not be worthwhile to purchase because the added cost of repairs could increase the total cost considerably. It may not be a bad idea, however, to buy an ATV that has a few problems and a low price tag if you have the knowledge and skills needed to fix it.
When looking for a used cheap ATV, the first things to look for are rust and signs of obvious damage. It is a good idea to inspect the vehicle from as many angles as possible, looking for problems such as rust spots, cracks, or areas that may have been repaired previously. Ask the seller if the ATV has ever been in an accident, what repairs have been made over its service life, and what types of regular maintenance have been performed. Test driving the ATV before you buy it is essential because it may give you a greater understanding of the mechanical condition of the vehicle.
It may be possible to find a new cheap ATV as well. Looking for sales from ATV dealers in your area is a common method. Some ATV sellers may offer discount ATVs for a number of reasons, such as overstocking of certain models, clearance of last year's models, or going out of business sales.
When selecting a cheap ATV is important to remember that you may have to make some concessions to get the best price. Some people may want to buy an ATV that is made by a popular or well-respected manufacturer, but it may not be possible to get a name-brand ATV that is within your price range. One tactic people use to get the best cheap ATV is to keep checking dealerships and classified ads until a good deal on the brand they want appears.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Yesterday I had the joy to work with Isla Fisher for Press Day and the premier of "The Rise of The Guardians" movie in London. Isla is known for her gorgeous flowing coppery red hair but for this event we decided to create a soft curly 1920's Chanel inspired up style, hiding all her length in a sassy Faux Bob that perfectly matched the cinematic feel of her Dolce & Gabana cream lace dress.
Looks like that the press liked it.
Comments so far:
"Isla looked sensational in a pretty cream number that boasted a broderie anglais pattern and peplum detail"
"The "Wedding Crashers" star looked like a screen legend of the old days in a vintage sleeveless lace dress with gold heels, a matching handbag, and her hair in short curls."
"Hair flare: Isla Fisher showed off a new short hairstyle on the red carpet at the premiere of Rise of the Guardians in Leicester Square on Thursday night"
"Simply beautiful: Isla's new hairstyle was very different to her long locks that she usually sports"
"Isla dazzles on the red carpet...."
to re- create this look:
1. Apply some volumizing spray to the roots of your towel-dried hair, then blow dry smooth using a round brush.
2. Once your hair is completely dry, divide your hair into smaller sub sections (roughly 1 by 1 inch) and and curl each section individually, starting from the back. I would recommend to use a 1 or 1 1/2-inch curling iron that lets you adjust the temperature to the needs of your hair (love Braun's Satin Series).
3. Work your way in horizontal sections until all hair is curled. Apply a small drop of shine serum or a hair oil into your hands and run your fingers gently through your hair to break up the curls.
4. Use a anti snap elastic to create a "tail" and place the elastic at the very end of your hair. Roll the hair under (inwards) and tuck toward the nape of the neck.
5. Secure the tail at the bottom of your neck hairline by using strong curby grips / bobby pins.
6. Gently pull and tease the hair towards the face, spreading the hair evenly in a horizontal direction, creating a rounded bob.
7. I recommend leaving a few loose strands around the face and create some flyways and a slightly messy texture, so it has a "lived in" feeling and creates the perfect illusion of a bob.
8. Mist with a flexible hairspray to ensure that your style will last. I really like Wellaflex as it also add's lots of shine.
Have fun trying the style.

Shelf Life Book Review: Incomplete Commentary on Matthew, Vol. 1/
James R. Hamrick
Incomplete Commentary on Matthew (Opus Imperfectum), Vol. 1 (Ancient Christian Texts Series) Intervarsity Press, 2010
Exploring how Christians from the past have interpreted and applied the Scriptures has been made much easier with Ancient Christian Texts, a series of neglected, ancient Christian commentaries translated into English.
The two volumes of the Incomplete Commentary on Matthew offer a translation of an ancient commentary on the book of Matthew. Written by an anonymous, 5th-century Christian, translated by James A. Kellerman, and edited by Thomas C. Oden and Gerald L. Bray, the commentary includes theological and devotional reflections on Matthew chapters 1–8, 10–13 and 19–25. This first volume covers Matthew 1–11.
This accessible translation is recommended for anyone who is curious about how some of the earliest Christians understood the Bible. Small groups and individuals might consider using both this volume and a modern commentary on Matthew as they work through the text—comparing and contrasting how ancient and modern commentators approach Scripture.

German Navy Ship Foils Pirate Hijack Attempt Off Somalia -BBC
A German navy ship foiled an attempt by pirates to hijack an Egyptian cargo vessel off Somalia, the BBC reported, citing unnamed officials.
Sailors from the frigate Karlsruhe captured six Somali pirates, but immediately released them under orders from the German government, the BBC reported Thursday on its Web site.
The Karlsruhe used a helicopter and small boats to protect the Egyptian ship from the pirates, who had shot and wounded one of the cargo craft's crew when they tried to board it, the BBC said, citing a German navy spokesman in Djibouti.
Germany would only bring pirates to justice if its own interests were harmed, the BBC cited Cmdr. Achim Winkler, a spokesman for the E.U. mission off Somalia, as saying.

Iranian government hails Oscar win as victory over Israel
'A Separation' viewed as a patriotic triumph even as Israelis come out in droves to see it
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has hailed the country's first Oscar-winning film as a triumph over arch-foe Israel after an Academy Award race with its own subplots: Iranian officials giving a grudging nod to cinema and Israeli audiences flocking to see a made-in-Tehran drama.
On Monday, Iran's state-spun praise for "A Separation," which beat out an Israeli film and three others in the foreign language category, was mostly wrapped in patriotic boasting as a conquest for Iranian culture and a blow for Israel's perceived outsized influence in America.
Yet the high-profile attention by the Islamic leadership also represented a rare stamp of approval for Iran's movie industry.
Iranian filmmakers have collected awards and accolades worldwide for decades, but Iranian hard-liners often denounce domestic cinema as dominated by Western-tainted liberals and political dissenters. Some directors and actors have faced arrest or fled the country. In January, a well-known independent film group in Tehran, the House of Cinema, was ordered closed.
Iranian hard-liners had already taken pot shots at director Asghar Farhadi's film even as it racked up international prizes and pre-Oscar buzz. The film explores troubles in Iranian society through the story of a collapsing marriage. Iranian conservatives were upset with the themes of domestic turmoil, gender inequality and the desire by many Iranians to leave the country.
The divide touches on much deeper fissures in Iran.
Iran's young and highly educated population — nearly half born after the 1979 Islamic Revolution — feel increasingly estranged from a theocracy that allows no room for political opposition, has tried to muzzle the Internet and is growing more isolated by its defiant nuclear policies.
Farhadi, in his acceptance speech Sunday in Los Angeles, said he hoped the Oscar would raise awareness of Iran's sizable artistic achievements and rich culture that has been "hidden under the heavy dust of politics."
That has been the case in of all places, Israel, which feels its very existence threatened by Iran.
The Iranian film has drawn tens of thousands of Israeli movie-goers since it opened in mid-February. Some came to see the Oscar competition for Israeli director Joseph Cedar's "Footnote," the saga of a Talmudic scholar. But many were drawn by a chance to glimpse inside Iranian society.
"It's very well acted, exceptionally well written and very moving," said Israeli film critic Yair Raveh. "Ultimately you don't think about nuclear bombs or dictators threatening world peace. You see them driving cars and going to movies and they look exactly like us."
After a Sunday screening in Jerusalem, 70-year-old Rina Brick said she was surprised by the humanity of the Iranian bureaucrats portrayed in the film.
"Our image of how Iran works is less democratic than we see here," she said. "The judge, the police, everyone behaves as if they are in a Western country."
Still, Iran's nuclear program was on the minds of some. Israel has not ruled out military strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities, which the West fears could be used to develop weapons. Tehran insists they are for peaceful purposes like energy production.
Moshe Amirav, a political science professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, said he "didn't stop thinking about the bomb the whole time" he was watching "A Separation."
"I said, what a contrast that we see this Iranian film with such admiration, and then when we leave we think about how they want to kill us," Amirav said.
Iranian cinema has reaped praise and prizes at top festivals for decades. But while the government often highlights sporting achievements and technological leaps as a source of national pride, it is typically dismissive of international cultural and entertainment awards.
However, taking the Oscar over an Israeli rival was too powerful for state image builders to ignore.
A state TV broadcast said the award succeeded in "leaving behind" a film from Israel. Javad Shamaghdari, head of the state Cinematic Agency, portrayed the Oscar win as the "beginning of the collapse" of Israeli influence that "beats the drum of war" in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Still, Iranian artists and many fans did not try to score any propaganda points and were simply delighted by the country's first Oscar.
Tahmineh Milani, director of the acclaimed 2005 film "Unwanted Woman," said the Oscar was a source of "national pride" that "revived hope in the hearts of all Iranians."
"I feel fresh air in my lungs," said Erfan Khazaei, an art student at Azad University, who watched the Oscar ceremony on satellite TV with four friends. "Now we are more hopeful about the future."
The Academy Awards were not broadcast live on Iranian TV, and many Iranians watched via satellite dishes, which are illegal but widely used. Clips of Farhadi's acceptance speech were later aired on state TV.
"A Separation," tells the story of a couple heading for divorce and dealing with domestic troubles, including a young child and an aging parent. It portrays a husband who is protective of his father, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. He is in conflict with his wife, who wishes to emigrate. Their daughter is torn between them.
While its themes are not overtly political, ultra-conservatives denigrated the film as an indirect slap at the country.
Prominent hard-line sociologist Ebrahim Fayyaz called it a "black realistic film" that portrays the country as an old man, a symbol of tradition and the past who is afflicted with a mind-crippling disease.
He said the movie suggests emigrating to the West as a solution. "The West awards movies that are in the direction of their policies," he told the Nasim news agency.
Iranian authorities have long had an uneasy relationship with the country's filmmakers. The leadership gives latitude to explore many social topics, but draws a sharp line on works with clearly anti-establishment overtones.
In January, the regime ordered the closure of the House of Cinema, an independent film group that had operated for 20 years and counted Iran's top filmmakers, including Farhadi, among its members.
Officials said it lacked the proper permits, but artists and others contend it was a political decision because the group often took liberal stands contrary to the government's cultural policies. Last month, Farhadi proposed that Iranian authorities allow a vote among artists about its fate.
Iranian cinema has for years been one of the nation's main cultural exports, but also the target of political crackdowns.
Last year, film director Jafar Panahi, who won awards at Cannes, Venice and other major film festivals, was sentenced to a six-year house arrest and a 20-year ban on filmmaking after being convicted of "making propaganda" against Iran's ruling system.
In 2007, the Cannes jury prize went to the animated film "Persepolis" based on Marjane Satrapi's graphic novels about growing up during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. She now lives in self-exile in Paris, fearing possible arrest if she returns to Iran.

A two hour drive from Wote in the Makueni district of Kenya lies the village of Ngomano. The last 9 miles of the trip to the village center takes a four-wheel drive vehicle and nerves of steel. Not only are you sharing the single lane road with goats, sheep, cattle and people heading to get water, but what is used as a road is often deeply rutted and washed out. Hold on to your stomach for this bumpy ride.
Just before you arrive at the village center of Ngomano a small side road to the left takes you a hundred yards to The Clay International School. This school was developed by PEI Kenya as an innovative way to teach, and in order to create a sustainable community.
I like that PEI Kenya is trying to work themselves out of a job, and the villagers like it too. While initially skeptical, and who could blame them with the numerous abandoned or partially finished buildings put up by western groups seeking to 'help', the community is a shareholder in this process.
Some of the amazing accomplishments that I've seen:
– A women-owned cooperative in the village make beautiful traditionally woven baskets for sale locally and internationally
– The village now has access to clean drinking water after a long struggle with drought
– The school grows a variety of crops that are native, provide a balanced diet to the students, and are more resilient for when 'the rains fail'
But the question remains, what does it take to help a rural village in Kenya to become truly sustainable? While the answer is still in the process of being developed in Ngomano, it is clearly on its way.
I send my heartfelt congratulations to the first graduating class of The Clay International School!

Philadelphia Parents Flood State With Special Education Complaints
Parents of students in the financially troubled Philadelphia school district have filed hundreds of special education and educational-adequacy complaints with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, saying that insufficient funding is denying children the education they are guaranteed under state and federal law.
More than 800 complaints have been filed as part of an effort led by the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia and Parents United for Public Education. The organizations are directing parents to a website where they can file complaints electronically. The goal, they say, is to show the state that inadequate funding is having real, and damaging, effects on the 136,000-student district.
In October, Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican, released $45 million in state funds to the district. Earlier, he said he would not release the money unless the district was able to get concessions from its labor unions.
Helen Gym, a co-founder of Parents United, said the district has already cut back drastically on guidance counselors, books, supplies, desks and chairs.
"We're not talking about luxuries," she said. The cuts have also meant a reduction in school nurses, and Philadelphia schools have enough medically fragile students that such a cut is endangering student lives, she said.
For example, they say, a 12-year-old Philadelphia student, Laporshia Massey, died of an asthma attack that started at school. If there had been a full-time nurse at her school, advocates say, the severity of her symptoms may have been recognized earlier. The school she attended has a nurse two days each week.
Tim Eller, a spokesman for the state education department, said that the agency has received complaints. "The state is confident that the district's administration is ensuring that programs and services required by state and federal laws and regulations are being provided to students," he said in an email to Education Week. "Complaints received by the Department of Education are being reviewed."
Sonia D. Kerr, the director of disability rights for the Public Interest Law Center, said the state has said it will look into the issue of school nurses. The district has one nurse for every 1,500 children, far fewer than the ratios recommended by the National Association of School Nurses. Her office has compiled many of the complaints into a letter to the state. They included complaints of insufficient medical support for students with cerebral palsy, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
"I think they're putting their head under a rock because they're not walking through what this really means. They're waiting for the other shoe to drop," Kerr said.

Do your online marketing strategies need a little pick-me-up? Have you ever thought to yourself, that it would be REALLY nice if you could just bring in lots of customers and reps all at the same time? Me too! It just kind of makes sense, right? THAT is precisely why your up line keeps trying to get you to do home parties lol! The online way just happens to be easier and more convenient for many.
Truly, building your business one customer at a time…one rep at a time…is soooo painful, don't you think? I mean…you sponsor one and then one quits…then there's this long gap… of a whole lot o' nothing. Then you sponsor two….and one quits. AND on it goes like that…painful! Can you relate a little? If you can find a feasible way to get a bunch of hot prospects in one room, all together at the same time…then you could get crazy awesome results with a lot less work. Pretty cool!
It's called, working smarter NOT harder! Well, guess what? You CAN do that! …and it's really not that difficult, once you know what to do. Thankfully, I have found 3 simple yet highly effective online marketing strategies, to get a rapid surge in leads, sales and sign ups for your business. Finally, It's time for you to take those old online marketing strategies for a big, honkin' tune up! Sound good? Hope so!
What are those 3 simple but super effective strategies? Here we go!
In truth…up to this point, me and the webinar have had a love-hate relationship lol! However, now that I know how powerful they truly are, I'll be warming up to them, for sure! Webinars and live events are great choices for a variety of reasons, but most notably, because you can gather a very sizeable group of people, in one place, all at the same time.
As it stands, the very nature of a webinar or live event, makes that group a sort of captive audience, doesn't it? They are there, listening to you share your valuable message. Ultimately, you have an incredible opportunity, then, to lay down so much value that you wow them.
Webinars and live events, as online marketing strategies are some of the very best for building rapport super quickly…and creating that ever-desirable, know-like-trust factor. You see, once you've warmed them up for a solid hour, you have firmly positioned yourself as an authority figure, with influence. As such, they are far more likely to want to buy what you're selling or become a business partner. Point being, you can see how this could shave some time off of your business building endeavours, right? That's hugely powerful.
People LOVE free stuff lol! It doesn't even matter what that stuff is…if there's a chance to win it..they'll play along. Giveaways and draws offer you a unique opportunity to create massive buzz around you and what you're up to, while also having a bit of fun. Ideally, all you have to do, is find something that your target market would deem valuable, and offer it as a prize.
To be honest, the particulars of how you craft that can vary. Typically, a great way to do a giveaway is to have people opt in by liking, sharing and commenting on your post about it. Then, you could create a point system, allotted based on products they purchase and referrals they send you. At the end of the game, those with the most purchases and/or referrals get more points… and thus a higher chance of winning a prize. Make sense? It's a win-win-win, because they are enjoying the game, you are getting loads of sales, and all of the new customers are improving their lives with awesome products…so cool!
This is in my wheelhouse. I love doing Facebook challenges and they have given my business a massive boost, really quickly. Again, like the other two online marketing strategies we already chatted about, Facebook challenges enable you to bring a lot of people into one place at the same time. THAT is the key to being able to bring a lot of people into your businesses all at once.
With Facebook challenges it's as easy as starting a group. You don't need any fancy tech to do this stuff…it's very straight forward.
Simply decide on the length of the challenge you'd like to lead, I prefer 5 and 10 day challenges, myself, though I've participated in longer ones, up to 30 days and that can work really well too. Once you've got that down, decide what you will require for entry. Effectively, you'll want to choose something that is congruent with whatever you are trying to grow. For example, you could do a 5 day, 'smoothie detox challenge'… where all participants must purchase your starter smoothie kit, to be used in conjunction with your challenge. Something to ponder, my most recent 5-day challenge had 176 members, so you do the math, on all those sales! SWEET! Are you starting to have some A-Ha moments yet?!!? I hope so.
One of the best ways to create interest in your 'paid' challenges, is to run a free challenge of some sort, leading up to it. Ultimately, the free challenge serves to show your people how much value you are able to give and it truly creates the know-like-trust-factor that is so critical. Additionally, it grows the authority you need, to fill a paid challenge group. Make sense? Awesome!
I hope I've given you some great online marketing strategies to add to your toolkit. I think you'll find that once you get this stuff rolling, you are going see a rapid surge in leads, sales and sign ups in your business. No more building the slow and painful way! From now on, show a ton of people what you've got, all at the same time and start climbing those leaderboards like I did. Reach out if you need some tips!
I've got my current 10-day Online Challenge starting Nov 13th…likely right around the time you are reading this! It's called "GET YOUR ONLINE ACT TOGETHER – 10 DAYS TO MORE SALES, SIGN UPS AND CELEBRITY STATUS".

Teachers focus on one or several objects of learning (OoLs) in parallel. During the process of teaching and learning,students are invited to share the enacted object of learning (eOoL) as teachers shape the intended object of learning(iOoL). A gap is suggested in the steps going from the iOoL to the eOoL because students have differentprerequisites and ambitions. In laboratory work, theory and practice supposedly interplay to enhance students'learning. This study therefore considers that gap and addresses the following question: "What educational intentionsand expectations do programming teachers express when they (in retrospect) describe their teaching during anassignment on a principle from computer science?" Interviews were conducted with five teachers from differentsites (secondary and tertiary levels). A second-order perspective was used to unravel the expected OoL and theteachers' intentions. The study reveals the existence of other OoLs in interplay with what is expected to be learnt.The teachers reveal a strong opinion regarding practice as a means for learning theory, as three qualitativelydifferent students' actions will help the teacher to decide students' theoretical understanding. Further work issuggested to explore the teachers' reflections about what materialized in the classrooms and thus gain anunderstanding of the gap.
In the intersection of technology, curriculum and intentions, a specific issue of interest is found in the gap between teachers' intentions and implementations of curriculum. Instead of approaching curriculum and technology as something fait accompli, teachers are considered crucial in the re-discovery of what and how to teach. The thesis depicts the mind-set of teachers and their beliefs in relation to computing curriculum. Three perspectives are covered in the thesis. Based on original documents and interviews with curriculum developers, the enactment of the computing/programming curriculum during the 1970s and 1980s is explored (Paper 1). This historical perspective is supplemented with a perspective from the present day where current teaching practice is explored through teachers' statements (seminars with associated questionnaires) regarding their beliefs about teaching and learning programming(Paper 2). Finally with a view from a theoretical perspective, teachers'perception of instruction is discussed in relation to a theoretical framework where their intentions in relation to theoretical and practical aspects of knowledge are revealed (Papers 3 & 4). The initial incitement to offer computing education during the 1970s was discovered in the recruitment of a broader group of students within the Natural Science Programme and the perception that it would contribute to the development of students' ability to think logically and learn problem solving skills. Data concerning teachers' beliefs about teaching and learning programming unravels an instructional dependence among today's teachers where students' logical and analytical abilities (even before the courses start) are considered crucial to students' learning, while teachers question the importance of their pedagogy. The thesis also discover two types of instruction; a large group putting emphasis on the syntax of programming languages, and a smaller group putting emphasis on the students' experiences of learning concepts of computer science (not necessarily to do with syntax). In summary the thesis depicts an instructional tradition based on teachers' beliefs where the historical development of the subject sets the framework for the teaching. Directly and indirectly the historical development and related traditions govern what programming teachers in upper secondary school will/are able to present to their students. From deploying two theoretical approaches, phenomenography and logic of events, upon teacher's cases it is shown that the intended object of learning (iOoL) is shaped by the teacher's intentions (e.g., balancing the importance oftheory and practice, using different learning strategies, encouraging learning by trial-and-error and fostering collaboration between students for a deeper understanding). The teachers also present a diverse picture regarding what theoretical knowledge students will reach for.

Screenprinting does not require a printing press. This technique was made famous in the 1960s when artists such as Andy Warhol exploited its bold, commercial look to make 'Pop Icons'. To make a screenprint, an image that has been cut out of paper or fabric is attached to a piece of tautly stretched mesh. Paint is then forced through the mesh (or screen) onto a sheet of paper beneath it by means of a squeegee. The uncovered areas of the screen will, of course, allow the paint to pass through, while the areas covered by the compositional shapes will not. For works with more than one colour, a separate screen is required for each colour. This technique is often referred to as 'serigraphy', a term coined to distinguish between commercial and artistic screenprinting.

A Welcome From the Founder and Executive Director Mvula Ka Mnisi
Dear Supporters, Staff, Beneficiaries, Families and Friends
Welcome to Sun of Joy Foundation website, where you'll find a wealth of information and resources about Sun of Joy Foundation and the work we do to serve Men & Boys, OVC, Youth, Women and a Girl Child in Gauteng and Mpumalanga Provinces. Whether you've been connected to Sun of Joy Foundation for many years or are encountering our organization for the first time, I thank you for taking a moment to visit us online.
This is a great and a heartfelt and an exciting time at Sun of Joy Foundation. Since I conceived the vision in 1996 and its establishment in 2000 and registration in 2003, I have been witnessing first-hand the dedication, commitment and innovation that set apart the Comprehensive Developmental Programme of SJF's staff and programming. Our Men and Boys Peer Education Programme became a springboard for all other programmes, i.e. Gender Based Violence Programm, ''I AM MY BROTHER'S KEEPER-COUNT ME IN 365/6 DAYS A YEAR -AGAINST THE ABUSE OF WOMEN, CHILDREN AND MEN"
Our Community Programmes: The After School Care, Food Security,Life Skills and Mentoring and Coaching, Substance Abuse Awareness Programmes have been so effective and through these initiatives , we were able to reach more than 50 000 beneficiaries in our 2014/15 financial year.
On the 18-21 March 2015, we successfully hosted a Mpumalanga Provincial Men Summit at Indalo Hotel and Conference Centre at Badplaas. The summit was attended by Men and Boys Civil Society organizations including Faith based organizations and131 delegates attended. A need was identified to establish Men and Boys structures in other parts of the Province. Three new SJF branches were launched in Tonga, Embalenhle and Ekangala/Bronkhorspruit and other branches are in the process of being launched.
In 2011 Sun of Joy won The SADC GENDER PROTOCOL AWARD in the Southern African Prevention of HIV/AIDS and Gender Based Violence Category in recognition and contribution in promoting the empowerment of women and ending gender violence. In 2015 again, during SADC GENDER PROTOCOL AWARD,SJF was a runner up in the SRHR/HIV & AIDS category in the South African National Summit hosted by GENDER LINKS.
The above AWARDS show cased our work and lesson learnt in the fight against poverty, HIV/AIDS and GBV and the importance of engaging men and boys as partners in the fight against HIV and GBV.
These are just three recent examples of achievements – the list of programs, services, outreach and advocacy being undertaken by our staff goes on and on.
We would like to thank our main funder , the Department of Health Mpumalanga Province for the Peer Education Programme for MEN AND BOYS in Gert Sibande District and the National Lottery Commission (NLC) for our After School Care and Poverty Alleviation Programmes in Gauteng Province (Cosmo City).
Feeling inspired already? There are so many ways to get involved. Considering volunteering or making a donation. Sign up for our email list, or consider attending our upcoming Men and Boys Summit in November 2015. We are grateful for your support.
We give all the Glory to the Almighty God Who made it possible for Sun of Joy Foundation to touch the lives of people in different programmes.
God Bless
Mvula Ka Mnisi
Founder and Executive Director,

Every day we hear all sorts of things — good, bad, and some things downright ugly. I hear many things I wish I hadn't heard, and unfortunately I miss some things that I really should have heard, but didn't.
Today's iv is a starter list of things I would love to hear some time, but probably won't. It's a "starter list" because I hope my readers will add to this list in the comments.
Things you wish you'd hear...
From a telemarketing person:
I'm sorry, did I reach you at a bad time? Here's my number... just call me back when you'd like to hear my sales pitch.
I understand that you are not interested. Thank you for your time.
Click (Them hanging up)
From your boss:
You look tired today. Take the rest of the day off.
The company offered me a 25% raise, but I told them that you deserved it more than I do.
From your auto mechanic:
That part is much less expensive than I thought.
I've never seen anyone maintain his car as well as you do.
You could get that done more cheaply at the garage down the street.
It was just a loose wire. No charge.
(I have actually heard some of those things from my mechanic! What a great guy!)

I hadn't and yet these pictures were posted on National Geographic a year and a half ago
'The mingling of lightning and ash seen above may be a "dirty thunderstorm." '
I really do need to start looking at NatGeo on a regular basis as once again there are some f*cked up things going on with this world that I have no clue about. I mean, look at that photograph! It's so amazing, Ed said that when someone takes a photograph this amazing they should just immediately get a million dollars. 'Oh, a picture of lightning, well...we'll take a look at it later....HOLY SHIT!! WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS SHIT?! AND THERE'S A VOLCANO IN ALL THAT LIGHTNING?! well here's your $1,000,000."
Kudos to Carlos Gutierrez/UPI/Landov for taking such wonderful photographs.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) July 24, 2013
Earlier this month, the University of Cambridge, New Zealand released information on ongoing studies involving women and the use of probiotics to fight depression. Researchers are claiming that probiotics may be able to help reduce the inflammation in the brain which has been linked to increasing levels of depression in women specifically. Probiotic Action, best known for their probiotic acne treatment for use as a natural acne remedy, explains how probiotics may help fight the causes of depression, and in turn help reduce acne symptoms.
Some may argue that acne causes depression, while others argue that depression may cause acne. While researchers are unable to determine which comes first in each individual case, information has been linked to the increased production of acne causing bacteria and body chemicals when the mind is under stress. Since researchers claim that inflammation in the brain may be a cause/link to depression, using probiotics preventatively to reduce inflammation ( as they do in the gut) may help bear some weight in the fight against depression, and what causes acne.
"While the research has not be concluded yet as to whether or not probiotics have the ability to reduce inflammation in the brain, using probiotics internally as a pill or supplement, and externally as topical probiotic, may do more than reduce intestinal strain, and acne symptoms just on chance alone," says Probiotic Action spokesman, Fernando Perez. "If we can project that probiotics have already proven to reduce inflammation in the gut and topically on the skin, perhaps using them to target brain inflammation, we may find a cure, or at least an all-natural way to fight depression emotionally, and as an acne trigger," added Perez.
For more information on the Cambridge University study, see here. For more information on the use of probiotics for acne, visit probioticaction.com.
Probiotic Action is an advanced acne treatment that uses Probiotics for acne containing the "good bacteria" that is naturally found on healthy human skin. By using probiotics, Probiotic Action is an effective treatment that restores the normal bacteria content on skin, while battling what causes acne. Probiotic Action will successfully clear skin when used as an adult acne treatment while protecting skin against bad bacteria, free radicals, and pollutants*.

Another government supported mortgage mortgage agency is in trouble. The Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Seattle joins the San Francisco FHLB in announcing steps to shore up their capital reserves against toxic residential mortgage assets.
Yesterday, the Seattle FHLB announced that it would halt dividends and "excess" stock repurchases to guard capital reserves. Capital shortfalls were caused by "unrealized market value losses" on residential mortgage bonds, according to aBloomberg report citing SEC Commission filings.
The Federal Home Loan Banks are 12 government supported financial institutions that provide stable, low cost funding to member banks. Banks purchase stock, which is not publicly traded, within their regionalFHLB to access this source of funding. These regional institution do not directly lend to homeowners, but are the largest collective source of mortgage and community lending in the US.
The FHLB is another Great Depression era fix that is failing in this current economic crisis. The FHLB system was chartered in 1932 to provide affordable funding for "building and loan" institutions. This was a major legislation to restart the mortgage market with affordable consumer financing for mortgages.
Like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac these moves are symptomatic of a systemic weakness that still holds the mortgage and financial markets. Again, returning focus to the impact of these toxic mortgage assets that still remain on many bank balance sheets.
According to a January 8, 2009 report from Moody's only 4 of the 12 FHLB institutions are currently maintaining their required capital levels. This could be signalling a second round of conservatorship take-overs on the scale of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Whether you want to update your home decor for your own pleasure or to add sales appeal, you can find affordable DIY home improvement projects to make a big difference in the ambiance of your home. Transform your home with these simple weekend projects:
Update the entryway of your home with fresh hardware and a new coat of paint. You can add seating, greenery and updated light fixtures in order to complete the look. Not only will this add to curb appeal for potential buyers, it will be more inviting at the end of your work day.
The kitchen is the most popular room in the home for DIY home improvement projects. Even if you don't want to overhaul the room with new appliances, you can still create a fresh look for your kitchen. One easy project is to switch out the existing light fixtures for modern ones that will provide better illumination for the entire room. For instance, add track lights over your food preparation area.
From food prep to cleanup, your kitchen sink is a vital part of your home. Changing the faucet can provide greater functionality and aesthetic appeal. Modern models allow you to conserve water, add filtration and much more. A high-quality faucet is an affordable investment that will take a minimal amount of time to install.
While replacing the cabinets in your kitchen and bathroom can be a time-consuming process, you can perform your own mini-makeover. Paint the cabinet doors and replace the existing hardware with matching knobs. Coordinating light pulls will help to bring the new look together if you have overhead lighting.
The bathroom is a close second when it comes to home improvement popularity. In addition to the cabinetry, you can repaint or wallpaper your bathroom to enhance the way it looks. You can also replace the existing soap dispenser, shower curtain and other decors with themed items. For instance, a beach or waterfall.
Replacing your existing shower head with a new device will provide you with a better bathing experience. Are you interested in a pulsing massage or a misty waterfall? Perhaps you would prefer to find a water-saving model to reduce utility bills. Research the options to find the perfect one for your household!
Adding one or more ceiling fans to your home can reduce heating and cooling bills. Make sure that you have sufficient clearance, even for taller people, before you begin installing a fan. In addition to variable settings, consider a fan with lights.
The inside doors are often overlooked when it comes to home improvement projects. However, you can spruce up the entire hall by replacing your older doors with attractive new ones. If you have the skills, add new trim to complete the look.
Updating the appearance of your home doesn't have to cost a fortune! These ideas are inexpensive but will have a tremendous impact on the entire house. You and your family deserve to enjoy an attractive home with your favorite amenities!

"Arise, shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, But the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn"
– Isaiah 60:1-3
It was the 27th of January 2018. We were gathered in Changi Cove, Isaiah 60:1-3 resounding in our hearts, our minds locked together, fitting together the puzzle pieces of what we knew was to be a powerful prophetic song. It took 8 songwriters to finally piece this song together in a way that we felt best captured the message that was beating in our hearts, both lyrically and melodically.
I love how it took a team; the 'Body'; a 'family' to unlock the pathways that would ultimately culminate in the creation of not only this song, but of several others. The song was indeed birthed out of community; a community that loves Jesus and were ready to listen and attune themselves to His heart.
This was just a glimpse of the journey of what we've seen released today as the fruit of labour by a family, a Body of Christ - the release of Awaken Generation's first full length album, "Our Light Has Come". More than just the songwriting process, there were the long hours of arranging, creating musical layers and dynamics, and working out the sorts of instrumentations that would best communicate and carry the message of the song. Then there were the many rehearsals that required grit and precision to ensure that what was imagined could effectively be brought to life in an accurate and sharpened manner.
There were the divine appointments of kindred hearts that sacrificially offered their resources and talents to execute this vision, and many hours of prayer-walking and intercession – because we all knew that this album was not unto ourselves, but a greater purpose of awakening an entire generation unto Him.
Perhaps the process of the album itself was just a little reflection of what it means to "arise and shine" - to step out, to use our gifts and offer our 'little' pieces to a big God who is more than able to pull it all together; to multiply our Hallelujahs.
Perhaps we are to simply live in the reality of this scripture, now that we are living in the era where Jesus has already been given to us and where His Holy Spirit is being poured out across the earth onto the young and old to prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions (Acts 2:17). And as we live out that purpose, may all the nations "come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn".

"Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
This Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is hosting several groups and individuals who are donating their time for a Day of Service. While we host volunteers every day, this Monday, volunteers will arrive with a certain goal in mind: honoring the legacy of one of nation's greatest leaders and activists. As part of United Way of the Greater Triangle's 8th Annual Triangle Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, they'll be riding on our refrigerated food recovery and distribution trucks, picking up good donated food and bringing into communities where it can get into the hands of those who need it. Others spent Saturday's National Day of Service gleaning collards from local farms to distribute to our neighbors in need. Still more volunteers will be getting their hands dirty on the farm today and packing BackPacks full of nutritious food for children in need. All will be working towards a more just nation where everyone has enough to eat!
On the IFFS Teaching Farm, we will host a group of nineteen 4th and 5th graders from First Presbyterian church, who will be spending their first Day of Service of Martin Luther King Jr., Day learning about where their food comes from and helping us produce fresh, local, nutritious food for the community.
The IFFS BackPack Buddies program will also be teaming up with Marbles Kid's Museum again for a special service event from 10am-1pm. Children and adults who are visiting the museum that day can participate by packing backpacks full of healthy and nutritious item to feed children in need on the weekends.
"I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for the minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Find out more about volunteering with us on our website here, and carry your commitment to service throughout the year!

The Candy Cross by Autumn Arden
The Candy Cross by author Autumn Arden was a very different read for me. It was definitely not what I had expected it to be as it went in a completely different turn right in the beginning! I made an incorrect assumption that I was getting into some fluff with an attitude but what I got was something entirely different.
The author's writing voice was very reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino in its edginess which piqued my interest very early on. The story's characters were gritty and dynamic. You think that you know them at face value but there is more to them than meets the eye. Pinky's transformation into MJ and even Candy being something altogether out of this world and her plot on revenge was next level.
The only thing that was a drawback for me was the length of the story. I am guilty of being prolific in my writing as well so I understand it but this was a long read. It's something I would recommend if you have some down time or perhaps over a long weekend. I mentioned Quentin Tarantino but I want to include there's something also very Stephen King about Arden's writing. You will enjoy!

spent a lot of time today on a totally new tune – one of the most driving and fuzzy growling concoctions I have ever made. Dunno exactly why I did it – some tentative names might be 'bang' 'bones' 'ho' or 'skrugs cacophony in A" – will post something later.

severely driving drums…Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
new mix via Texas and Mexico, South Padre…Monday, April 27th, 2009
you have heard of Texicana, or Texmex…howzabout Texmix, or Meximix? What would you say if I told you I was working on my music while down in Texas and Mexico this weekend? What would you say if I told you I was enjoying some very nice weather while A/B ing some sonics? What – can't hear you…? You wouldn't say anything? Well – it has caused a slight lengthening of my planned actions for the weekend – going south, and I am just back, so hold on to your hats cause it is very windy outside.
miss your blissMonday, April 20th, 2009
is entering the rewrite stage – I am happy with the music side of things, so there will likely be only some minor tweaks there – the main emphasis will be on ye old voxs…I find myself with quite a bit on my plate at the moment – and it all started with hash browns this morning – but I digress…will be hopefully finalizing this song within a day or two…
sad newsThursday, April 16th, 2009
an acquaintance of mine Jurrie Teeuwen – from Holland has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is undergoing treatment. I worked with him and fellow Vrenee audio genuises while I lived in Holland. The kid is really talented and smart, married with a son – and only +/- 36…don't feel like adding any other news right now.
finished song…Monday, April 13th, 2009
only for you
this one landed differently – but I feel like it is what meant. I now will be working on my final 2 – maybe only 1 before sending out some things that are becoming urgent. In the meantime I have a rather pressing batch of songs in queue…that are in need of all kinds of work. this is in addition to some projects outside of my lab. There are a couple of very cool launches coming up…can you dig? Aw c'mon – at least try.
music videoWednesday, April 8th, 2009
I am thinking of doing a music video of one of the recent mixs…why you ask? Simply because in this day and age it is possible for me to one man band a song – use my little cannon powershot sx1000, shoot the video, load this into vegas and after effects and off I go…into vid – with very little budget (except time). We once as a band had a group from Hollywood fly to Amsterdam and shoot a video for about $95,000.000 – if I have my numbers right…lol – those were the days…seems like everything cost about $100,000.00 in the majors…reminds me of Rainman "about $100.00″…so – I will be considering which song, and wanting it to perform the simple function of inspiring you all…k? If you have a request lemme know. flipside.
only 4 youTuesday, April 7th, 2009
is nearly done – having a ball with layering vox…I am pretty sure some will say it is a bit effect heavy – but hey – spice is the variety of life right? For those of you not liking to take risks or adventure in to new lands of sonic landscapes – just remember – when radio and vinyl records first came out there was a lot of resistance because it was assumed nobody should listen to music unless it is live – and here we are a coupla years later and we have gigs of concerts in our pods and mp3 players – we have streaming audio and video over the net – we have online cross-city and country collaboration…woot say – woot! Embrace the digital revolution my friends. Can you say embrace? I knew you could. Wait you say – what does a digital revolution have to do with new sounds and a potential effects heavy mix? Ummm I dunno actually…just pontificating.
MusicianMonday, April 6th, 2009
there are some questions about my studio set up – what I use for instrumentation etc…I play the studio…huh? seriously…I do play guitar and keyboards – but not very well. I am a drummer first – then I use any and everything I can get my hands on in the studio to make the song work. I could post a thorough studio layout later – maybe under FAQ's if I get enough requests. If you look under the about section there is a little more detail – but not enough for you tweakheadz out there…be patient. If you ask really nice I might even post a pic or a vid – oooooh lala….
Lilith excerptSaturday, April 4th, 2009
We came to the fearful hollow where once had wallowed the monsters of the earth: it was indeed, as I had beheld it in my dream, a lovely lake. I gazed into its pellucid depths. A whirlpool had swept out the soil in which the abortions burrowed, and at the bottom lay visible the whole horrid brood: a dim greenish light pervaded the crystalline water, and revealed every hideous form beneath it. Coiled in spires, folded in layers, knotted on themselves, or "extended long and large," they weltered in motionless heaps—shapes more fantastic in ghoulish, blasting dismay, than ever wine-sodden brain of exhausted poet fevered into misbeing. He who dived in the swirling Maelstrom saw none to compare with them in horror: tentacular convolutions, tumid bulges, glaring orbs of sepian deformity, would have looked to him innocence beside such incarnations of hatefulness—every head the wicked flower that, bursting from an abominable stalk, perfected its evil significance.
Not one of them moved as we passed. But they were not dead. So long as exist men and women of unwholesome mind, that lake will still be peopled with loathsomenesses.

'only for you' is taking a veer…am redoing some of the vox in a veritable variety trifecta…other worldy – hopefully… I think this one will be one of the biggest end result changes…am also meeting with the inimitable JP on the album cover (among other things) today…can you say stoked? I knew you could…This is all greatly exciting as I see album sales dropped about 18% since the same time last year.
