Hello friends... Please share your best music here. I'd like to have a look at your best works... (not the song file, but the link to SoundCloud, YouTube, etc...)
This one is probably my most popular, not strictly mine as it's a remix of Adrian King's track: https://soundcloud.com/angledsocks/biothermic-inductive-mix
Probably the one I like most is this one though: https://soundcloud.com/angledsocks/safe-from-the-rocks
Nice tracks...
Of everything I've put up I like this one the best, though it needs a remastering.
I'm in the middle of a residence move tho' , so I don't have the opportunity for at least another month or two.
Okay, apparently the "Soundcloud Track" function here is being a cheesedick.
Here's the link:
"The Only Way to Fly"
Through the Canyons of Your Mind (2017)
[Through the Canyons of Your Mind is my forthcoming five-track EP that I conceived around this time last year; I was hoping to get it done for a 2016 release but apart from listing track titles I've actually done fuck-all on it except this track, which was already done (in December 2015) before I thought to make an EP.]
Both are really good works... Though I like the first one better...
Hi ranjith, I have two accounts with music you can enjoy. ;)
Plus an album.
Really nice track...
Good work... It has a good gaming rhythm...
https://soundcloud.com/user-366689566/sets/caustic-3-2-beta-8 I think this is the link to my SC playlist
Nice tracks... Your album is also good.... Bt, How do you promote your bandcamp albums..?
That is called an embed which I used to show the playlist.
Fine...... But actually I was not talking about that embed option... I mean, to find more listeners from all around...
From what I have learned.
- Forums
- Chat containing sites
- Social Media
- Blogs
- Sound Sharing Sites
- Paying for promotions
- Sending demos
- Sending on a site for a free promotion. (Exclusive Deal/One Time Offer)
- Just about anywhere permitted
Good... I've read about these things from the web... But, what is your experience about these factors...?
Forums can get close to 100 listens or more.
Chat containing sites give a few...
Social media, I've never used because it didn't do anything. It depends on promoting your social media first though.
Blogs are just about the same as the chat, and it deponds just like social media. It's basically the same.
Email is used for feedback and business...
Sound Sharing Sites are ok, and depend on how good you make the music, how you tag it, and even where else you are going to post it for promotion.
Paying for promotions; they seem to be skeptical about because you never know if it's people who do not appreciate the music like you wanted.
Sending demos; I highly recommend this as it leads to the real people and to the people you want; I haven't done this yet because I'm just starting to get really good. It's about finding your better self before sending demos. You can always send demos though. Make sure to not over send as this will cause an overflow to listening. One at a time; One per day.
Lastly, the free exclusive promotion. I got this on ReverbNation and haven't used it yet. Decision on what to select can be tough. I don't do videos and social media. But if I would choose, it would be sharing around the place by social media. I don't promote like that though as it happens a lot with many people. It makes things look messy. All those check my music out comments. '~'
So it's based on your experience what you want to choose as promotion.
Just started using Cautic - I absolutely love it ! Would like to make ambient large sounding deep techno.... if you know what I mean
a few which I quite like they've turned out.
anyone like gabba lol ?
@Kertex - digging the second - though both amazing -how do you make videos like that!!!?
Ok Phorsion... Good description...
This is my second track with caustic 3.
Im currently mastering it with ableton so hopefully i can release it soon!
Hope you enjoy
I didn't write this, but I arranged it in Caustic. It's something I've wanted to do with a rock band for over ten years, but to date I've only been able to realize it in Caustic - a medley of three anime themes.
I particularly enjoy the transition between the second and third parts (at the 2:30 mark)
Check out my new track....... Inspired by donald trump! (like donald trump)
"Every heart" Inspired by the oldies...... email@example.com +2348132777202 all my beats are Created with caustic 3
> cheesedick
He said cheesedick.
No, I turned it off because soundcloud was crashing the site a few months ago and never had the "courage" == laziness to turn it back on because people were bitching very loudly that the site wasn't responsive.
@ Maximus Marte - blown away can't believe you can make Caustic do this kind of business
@ Yhoda
lovely synth work
Hahaha thanks! It wasn't easy making that song, tho. I had a hard time mixing it.
Check out my new track....... Inspired by donald trump! (like donald trump)
I'm not seeing where we can check out this or any other of your tracks. Link? Just your email address doesn't cut it.
* * *
Not mine, but another track inspired by Teh Dolan from one of my most recent PhizBuk friends.
He said cheesedick.
Yes, he did! And he will probably say it again in the near future.
@steph - I will help Eddy here- in Nigeria all you need is a phone number to access Soundcloud !!! :-p
here it is - https://soundcloud.com/eddy-shuntel
Here's one of mine I would like to share - https://soundcloud.com/user-780368814/prelude-ii
Musically, the past 3-4 months has been great for me. I've been trying to take the monotony out of most of my music. Although I do enjoy listening to it enough to have had a Plastikman tattoo since 1999. Monotony works very well for some types of music. However, my tracks change nonstop while using the same sounds. Drum patterns are automated in & out of decay, the rest are usually octave animated, and they share patterns. The same one being whittled down & repeated in different octaves to make melodies or stretched out for use as the background. Everything in harmonious, but often times chaotic sounding, balance. My thought process envelopes boxes.
Just finished this one, today. It has so many layers, with such depth, that the final eight measures are repeated four times without sounding monotonous.
My personal favorite though:
@sub_tec Would Zigzag be along the lines of ambient sounding deep techno? I make quite a menagerie, when it comes to genres. Often, multiple ones are combined. Another of mine, Sonourous Colours, starts with an ambient intro, turns into 145 bpm ambient, and ends half-speed as almost downtempo trip-hop. I make them with no intentions of staying within parameters because I promised myself, from the start of making music, that I would never back myself into any specific genre. And, no gabba gabba for me.
Mixed a lite gospel, trap, and dance. My latest so it's my favorite right now. Hit me up with a like.
Yes to zigzag - but I'm really digging nocturne and neurosis - your style reminds me of FSOL. I dig it. It's wonderfully warped.
FSOL tops my list of favorite electronic musicians. And, they've been there since the first time I experienced Lifeforms Paths 1-7. WARP! Records, tops my list record labels. Both of which made me realize, long ago, that anything can be music if timed right.
interesting comment re: timing - yes I guess it's all about making a good blend of well executed and timed repetition ..
Caustic 3 does a great version of the opening theme of Streets of Rage !

In jail on charges of having sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl since she was 12, a well-known Delaware Water Gap jazz musician secretly had a family member deliver his love letters to the girl, prosecutors told the Monroe County president judge Friday.
In jail on charges of having sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl since she was 12, a well-known Delaware Water Gap jazz musician secretly had a family member deliver his love letters to the girl, prosecutors told the Monroe County president judge Friday.
"He told her he wanted to marry and have children with her," Assistant District Attorney Michael Rakaczewski said, telling President Judge Margherita Patti Worthington why accused musician Jesse Green's free-on-bail status should be revoked.
"He told her God had told him it was OK."
Green, 42, was free as of Friday after his family had posted $250,000 to get him out of Monroe County Correctional Facility.
He had previously waived his right to a preliminary hearing on the charges before Marshalls Creek District Judge Brian Germano. This waiver now sends the case to county court, where Green can go to trial, plead guilty or plead no contest.
"There were no non-monetary (free-from-jail) bail conditions imposed on the defendant," Rakaczewski said. "We were going to ask for these conditions to be imposed today, requiring him to have no further contact of any form with the victim, her family or any witnesses in the case and to turn in his passport. However, further disturbing details have surfaced that lead us to believe he is obsessed with the victim and would continue to pursue her should he be allowed to remain free on bail."
These details include Green violating jail clearance procedures for inmates sending out mail by having his mother deliver his love letters to the girl.
"We don't believe any combination of non-monetary bail conditions would keep the defendant from continuing to pursue the victim, so we're now asking for bail to be revoked," Rakaczewski said.
Green stood quietly beside defense attorney Thomas Sundmaker, who addressed the court.
"At the time Mr. Green gave those letters to his mother, he was not aware of the jail having to first clear inmates' mail before that mail can go out," Sundmaker said. "He is now aware and would not be doing that again should his bail be revoked.
"But, I don't see a need to revoke his bail in the first place," Sundmaker said. "Mr. Green has no prior criminal history and has been well-known and respected in the community, so therefore he isn't a flight risk. Plus, he's already complying with bail bond conditions requiring him to have no contact with the alleged victim, not leave the state and check in weekly to ensure he's still in the area."
Sundmaker said Green would have no problem abiding by any additional conditions the court wishes to impose.
Worthington then decided to leave Green's free-on-bail status in place, provided he continue having no contact with the girl, her family and any witnesses, turn in all current and/or expired passports, not apply for a new passport and submit to periodic urine tests.
Green admitted being in love with the girl and having had various forms of inappropriate contact with her since she was 12.

Q: What can I do about varicose veins now and after I have the baby?
A: During pregnancy, the weight of your developing baby can put pressure on the blood vessels in your pelvis. This causes blood to back up into the veins of the legs, enlarging them. Wearing support hose as well as getting regular exercise can help minimize the risk for developing varicose veins during pregnancy, says Macrene Alexiades, M.D., a dermatologist and assistant clinical professor at Yale University of Medicine. After delivery and once you finish breastfeeding, small spider veins can be treated by a dermatologist with a laser or injection procedure. For larger varicose veins, seek out a vascular surgeon.

<3 it thanks Manuela. He knew how to take on the persona of Rock Star, Lou Reed the wonderful poet. Thanks for sharing this.

Ohio 'Spooky House' Shooting Leaves Girl Paralyzed, Man in Jail
WORTHINGTON, Ohio – It has come to be known as the Spooky House Incident: A group of teenagers in this quaint older suburb who tried to scare themselves on a "ghost hunt" and a recluse who responded with gunfire, leaving two lives wrecked.
A pretty blonde high school cheerleader, Rachel Barezinsky, is crippled for life. Allen S. Davis, roused from an eccentric but otherwise unoffending existence, was sentenced last month to 19 years in prison for what he describes as defending his home.
A year after the shots were fired, the bizarre case has left residents around Columbus torn. While plenty of people felt Davis got what he deserved for overreacting to teenager antics, many others saw the girls as picking on Davis and facing no legal consequences for trespassing.
"I felt kind of sorry for both sides," resident Jane Leppert said as she sat outside a coffee shop near the village's brick-paved square. "Although I feel very sorry for the girl who was shot, she unfortunately messed around with a kind of paranoid individual who felt the need to protect himself, even against kids."
The story began at 10 p.m. on Aug. 22, 2006, when Barezinsky and two other girls sneaked a few feet onto Davis' property — lighting the way with their cell phones — to scare themselves because they thought the house was spooky. They jumped in the car after their friend honked.
What they thought were firecrackers as they drove off were shots from a rifle Davis, then 40, said he had purchased to scare away frequent prowlers.
When the girls rounded the block to check out the noise, a bullet struck Barezinsky, then 17, in the shoulder and head. Her left arm and leg were paralyzed.
Davis' house sits almost obscured by brush amid the otherwise tidily groomed homes across from a cemetery. He shares the house with his mother, who has a cauldron-shaped planter in the yard that gained her a witchy reputation among kids.
A loner taunted since childhood, Davis wore ill-fitting clothes and thick glasses, his hair in a bowl cut.
Many of the case's harshest critics frequented radio talk shows, blogs and online chat rooms, where opinions can flow more freely than in this town of 13,000 where residents are likely to attend Barezinsky's church, remember Davis from the library, or live near the shooting site.
Rose Schneider, who observed the case with interest from another Columbus suburb, offered online chatter suggesting Davis' sentence was "harsh considering he was sleeping when Rachel Barezinsky and her brood broke the law by trespassing on his property in the middle of the night."
Police determined the girls were not trespassing because they had not gone far enough onto the property and no clearly visible signs had been posted.
Davis said in jailhouse interviews that he did not intend to hurt anyone. He eventually pleaded guilty to two counts of felonious assault to avoid a drawn-out probe into his personal life.
"I didn't know what their weaponry was, what their intentions were," he said from jail. "In a situation like that, you assume the worst-case scenario if you're going to protect your family from a possible home invasion and murder."
After the shooting, two neighbors told police that they had seen teenagers near Davis' home before, and several others had heard his mother, Sondra, talk about harassment. Nine neighbors said they had heard firecracker-type sounds, sometimes over a period of months, but none called police.
Messages seeking comment were left with Davis' attorney, and at the homes of Barezinsky and two friends.
Worthington resident Jean Levinson, 81, said she identified with Barezinsky.
"When I was her age, we had a gang of girls just like that and we went around hitchhiking, hopping trains, riding our bikes across train bridges, all kinds of stuff like that," she said. "Most of the time, doing things that seem not logical to adults doesn't have dire consequences. I think that still holds today."
The Davis family's history with police includes an account from the 1980s of them living with the body of Allen Davis' grandmother for two days for fear the woman might wake up and be scared. The older woman had been declared mentally and physically incompetent, and neighbors occasionally heard her screaming.
Police Lt. Doug Francis said there is no record of the Davises being repeatedly harassed, but he acknowledged that the family stopped calling his department 27 years ago after losing faith in police services.
Davis' mother had once reported that a space alien sexually molested her after entering the house through the duct work, he said.
The strange tales emanating from the Davis home prompted many observers to surmise that Davis was mentally ill.
Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Julie Lynch said Davis opted against using an insanity defense and passed two mental competency examinations.
"I think those high school kids shouldn't have been on his property," Lynch said. "But in this country, life is valued over property, and if someone is fleeing your property or on your property but not threatening you, you're not allowed to just shoot them."

1 - Overview of NYSA's Referee's role
Do you want to become involved with NYSA as a Referee?? It does not really matter if this is your first experience as a Referee, your first experience with the NYSA as a Referee, or you are an experienced Referee. The following is intended to provide an overview of the basic things you should know, or at least be aware of, as to how your involvement as a Referee fits into NYSA.
Getting your Referee License
Your first step is to get your Referee USSF license. You will want to get either a grade 9 or grade 8 referee license (please note that grade refers to the referee grade level and has nothing to do with school grade levels). NYSA typically hosts a few grade 8 clinics in July and August. Please see the NYSA website and NYSA newsletter for exact dates and times. Also please see the other Referee FAQs regarding the differences between grade 9 and grade 8 referees (as an aside the referee grade level goes down to grade 1, which is an international referee).
If you can not take one of the referee clinics offered by NYSA, then you can take a referee clinic offered by another soccer association. Your referee license is good anywhere in Washington state, which means you can referee anywhere in Washington state and for any soccer association. To see a listing of the referee clinics being offered in Washington, then please go to www.wareferees.org and click on Clinics/Events, then choose Entry -- Never been...
Signing up to Referee Soccer Games
Referees sign up to referee soccer games on the NYSA website (i.e. called self assigning). To self assign, log onto the NYSA website and click on Referee, Match Inquiry. The majority of NYSA soccer games (recreational, select, and premier) occur between September and mid-November. There are also quite a few select and premier soccer games in January through March/April that you can self assign to.
In Referee, Match Inquiry, a small Green Plus will appear next to a game's open CR or AR position. Click on the green plus sign to self assign to that game's CR or AR position (note not all game's have AR positions). For further details regarding the Self Assign process, please click on the SelfAssign link (i.e. click on the blue, underlined word SelfAssign).
In addition, NYSA has Referee Assignors that can help you self assign to games. They also will contact referees to referee games that do not have referees assigned yet. You can see a list of Referee Assignors at Referee, List Assignors .
File a Match Report
After every game you referee (CR or AR), you will need to file a match report on the NYSA website. Click on Referee, Match Report to file your match report. In the match report you will input the game score, indicate other Referees that refereed (if any), input the Sportsmanship scores for each of the teams, etc. Filing your match report is an important activity because your match report 1) updates the team win-loss standings, 2) updates the teams' Sportsmanship scores, and 3) is what is used to pay you for refereeing the game.
To see a listing of your match reports (paid, pending, etc.), then click on Referee, Accounting.
And finally, IF you issued any Yellow or Red cards during the game, then you must file the appropriate "paperwork" (Misconduct Reports) via Referee, Misconduct.
Questions not answered here
Note this FAQ is an overview. If you have other questions, then please 1) see the other Referee FAQs and/or 2) contact one of the Referee Assignors or the VP of Referees, email@example.com.

A free designer review is included to make sure all your words look their best.
Proudly give your homemade creations and best inventions the American Vintage seal of quality. This all-purpose style revives the earnest appeal of vintage apothecary bottle and jar labels. Hints of old-school handwriting are lightly visible behind a seemingly sun-streaked surface. Concentric circles graphically frame American Vintage, drawing attention to the most important part - your words!

If you ask for more than the allowed amount of text, it may be possible but it MAY DELAY YOUR ORDER. If you ask for much more text on a line, the words will become much smaller, and possibly very hard to read. We will contact you if we see any problems with your request.
Orders with color changes are not refundable. A color change can have a profound effect on the style, and we do not know what result you are trying to achieve so we can't guarantee that you will like it. If there is an obvious problem, we will contact you.
Choose a color from another label style on our website, and tell us, in the box above, which style and which color in that style you want to match. Or, if you want to match a color of a fabric or other item, please mail us a color swatch. We will come as close as we can to your color, but cannot guarantee an exact match due to differences between our process and how the color was achieved on your swatch. Making this request WILL DELAY YOUR ORDER and THERE IS NO REFUND FOR COLOR CHANGE REQUESTS.

OK, so you already have a mental image in place but there's no going back now. After all, the thought of living with your own 'leftovers' is not readily settling. Since the invention of fire, humans have figured out that it's a fairly good goal, if not wholly hygienic, to separate your 'befores ' from your 'afters'. But give me a second…
Stay with me here…
Try this scenario on for size, it may a little easier to stomach:
Imagine a great, big furniture factory pumping out a tremendous amount of cabinetry each day. At closing, janitors spend a tremendous amount of time and energy, sweeping up all the sawdust, packaging it, taking it to the dumpster and scheduling a pickup. Exhausting work, but hey… you have to keep the floors clean if you're going to get stuff done the following day.
One day, as a worker, you realize all that sawdust could be mixed with some glue, put back onto the production line and used to make more cabinetry! Cut costs on both the ends and the means. "Brilliant!", cry the Board…"You're promoted!"
"But wait", they say, "we're not going to just pick it up and start it at the front of the assembly line again. We've got a process! We're still going to package it up, take it to the dumpster, schedule a pickup. Then we're going to send people back out to find the stuff we just got rid of, collect it in fragments, try to get some of the material workable again and put it back into production…"
"Brilliant?" you say….
Yea, it works… but, I mean…
Think about it. You have someone else ship your waste underground for hundreds of miles, wasting hundreds of gallons of drinkable water, paying hundreds for this apparent service. On top of that, you have to deal with broken pipes, wet ceilings, overflowing toilets. All this when there is already a free process to exploit in your backyard. Literally.
What nature does with leftovers…and humans deciding they can do it better.
"But what about…dare I say…bacteria! And that smell! Puuuhhlleease….you think I'm going to live with my own feces? "
Hmmm, not coming from there…what's that smell?
YES! And here's how. People have already considered this. The bacteria. The smell. The maintenance. The hygiene. No one is asking you to cut a hole in the floor and hold your breath. In the era of self-parking cars and I-phones, do you think we can do better that that?
A light at the end of the tunnel?
Enter the composting toilet. A culture shift in the way we start to re-align ourselves with process that have been in place much longer than we've existed. A leading expert in the field, Sun-Mar has a number of very practical solutions that promise quiet, odorless and hygienic waste conversion systems. While not the most stylish in the field, Sun-Mar has a very competitive price point.
Looking to really impress your growing throng of eco-yuppie friends? Check out Envirolet….with it's starter kit and shock soil, you'll be pushing up daises in a whole new light. While a little more high end, think about how much it's going to be to replace that septic when it finally reaches maximum capacity.
Envirolet's Brand of Composting
For more information on the wonderful world of composting toilets, take a look at http://www.compostingtoilet.org/. Aside from a variety of products, you can find general information here about composting and health/odor concerns.
So, take a look and get over it…rather, get on it!

Lionel Messi admitted games can often be difficult following international breaks after Barcelona's 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo on Saturday.
The Argentine forward scored his 43rd Liga goal of the season at Balaidos - meaning he has now found the net against every league opponent in 2012-13 - but it was not enough as the Blaugrana failed to win on their return to action.
"Games after the international break, especially away from home against a team that have so much at stake like Celta, are always difficult," Messi said after the match.
"It's not easy to come back and play, because practically all of us are called up to national teams and we can't prepare for the match in the way we would have liked."
Elsewhere, Cristian Tello, whose appearance against Celta was vindicated with the opening goal, spoke of his delight at being entrusted with a starting berth by his employers.
"Leo doesn't surprise me, he's the best. I hope he stays at the level for a long time," the young attacker added.
"I'm very pleased that the gaffer has confidence in me and I hope to continue growing. It was a difficult match because it was do or die for them. The result isn't bad."

Roasted Red Peppers with Thyme and Feta
This wonderful combination of roasted red peppers, fresh thyme, meyer lemon juice, and lemon olive oil was introduced to me by the delectable L., who is an inspiration to me in many ways, most notably in the areas of candor and joie de vivre, and, more recently, food. This dish would make a wonderful party appetizer.
At a recent "Girl's Night" at her place, I arrived with food and friend B said "Your brought food to L's! That's like bringing sand to the beach!" I love this line. I want to write a screenplay around it.
There's really nothing like freshly roasted red peppers. I just put them right over my gas stove top and turn them with tongs until the skins are blackened:
Seal them in a plastic bag for 20 minutes, and the skin scrapes off easily with a knife:
Seed and julienne the peppers and marinade with sea salt, lemon olive oil (I used Sciabica's), meyer lemon juice and a generous amount of fresh thyme. L's magic ingredient is to use Sheep's Milk Feta from Israel (available at Trader Joe's).
This dish is one of those amazing, simple dishes that gives a wonderful taste experience for relatively little work. I hope you will enjoy this one in the company of food friends!

The Broncos will cut defensive end Elvis Dumervil on Friday if he doesn't take a significant pay cut. Although all indications are that Dumervil isn't willing to cut his pay by as much as the Broncos want, Denver front office boss John Elway says he wants Dumervil to realize that there's just no way he's ever going to get paid the $12 million salary on his current contract.
"It's so far out of whack," Elway told the Denver Post of Dumervil's salary. "Hopefully, he realizes that."
Elway says he feels bad asking a good player to take a pay cut and understands why players resist. But he also said it's just part of the business.
"These are the deals that wrench your gut," Elway said. "As an ex-player, I hate to see that. I hated to see that happen to a teammate. And I hate having to do it, in the position I'm in. But I've got to do what's best for this football team."
It's looking like Elway will decide that what's best for the Broncos is to release Dumervil and sign another defensive end.

- I'd like to see cumulative sales figures, for both units and royalties, in KDP and Author Central reports.
- I'd like to be able to automatically split royalties with co-writers.
- I'd like the ability to make ebooks permafree.
Currently, it's a PITA to make a book permafree on Amazon. You have to make the ebook free on some other website, then keep alerting Amazon about those competitive prices by cutting and pasting URLs into the "tell us about a lower price" link:
It can take weeks for Amazon to price-match and make a title permafree. It's irritating, especially since I'm doing it for the benefit of Amazon customers and my own fans. (More on that in a moment.)
I understand that Countdown Deals are part of the reward for KU exclusivity, and those 5 day freebie slots are valuable. But thousands of authors are bypassing this already by using Draft 2 Digital and Smashwords to make freebies on Amazon's competitors.
Note to Amazon: That's self-defeating. If I want to make an ebook permanently free on Amazon.com, I also have to post free ebooks on Kobo, iTunes, Nook, etc. How does that benefit Amazon at all when I allow your competition to get my free titles?
Here's a suggestion: Allow KU unlimited titles the option of being free for a full year, provided they are free only on Amazon.com. The books are going to be free anyway, but this way, Amazon has exclusivity for those freebies.
I have only used permafree twice, and I've published over 60 titles on KDP.
J.A. Konrath Books in Order: Jack Daniels Series in Reading Order, Jack Kilborn, Codename: Chandler, Melinda DuChamp, Complete Pen Name Chronological Bibliography.
I blogged in detail about this HERE.
I only give away about ten copies a day of this title. But the people who download it are fans and potential fans who want an easy checklist of all my book titles. Win for me, win for readers, win for Amazon.
So why did I have to upload it to six other ebook retailers and then send Amazon price-match alerts several times a day for two weeks in order to make it free?
The second permafree I've done is recent. I'm currently putting the finishing touches on the tenth Jack Daniels thriller, LAST CALL, and it ties into an old short story I wrote called THE AGREEMENT.
Why not give away THE AGREEMENT as an extra to people who read LAST CALL? Doesn't that seem like a fun extra?
What I once would have done is add it as bonus content to the end of the novel. But then readers could get irritated, because the book ends at 95% completion when they they were expecting more. So instead, I wanted to put a link in the book, giving them the option of reading the aforementioned story for free.
Which meant jumping through hoops again just to give my fans something extra.
Happily, THE AGREEMENT is now free on Amazon.
I decided to use it as a promo item as well, so it includes an excerpt from LAST CALL, if any readers want to get a sneak peak.
Now, if that was all there is to this story, I'd just suck it up and not whine in public. But, unfortunately, these two freebies are only available to Amazon US readers, because I haven't been able to make them free on Amazon stores in the UK, Canada, etc.
That's really not fair to my fans in other countries. It's like giving some of your children extra dessert, and telling the others to sod off. (See? I used a UKphemism! Why can't they get these titles free?!?)
What do you writers think? Do you want to be able to make titles permafree on Amazon?
Let me hear from you in the comments.

I watched the slam dunk contest last night on Tivo and boy…..THAT was the most sorry excuse for a dunk contest I have ever witnessed.
I'm sure there are many different angles as to why it was bad, but here are my own highlights (or rather lowlights):
• NO STAR POWER: Outside of the people on this board, no one knows or cares about Nate Robinson, Demar DeRozan, Shannon Brown, or Gerald Wallace
• NO ENERGY: Shannon Brown and Gerald Wallace looked bored and indifferent the whole night. Did anyone catch when the cameraman had his camera on Gerald Wallace covering his entire face with his two hands looking out through his fingers!!!
• REC LEAGUE DUNKS: The vast majority of the dunks were LAME – they may have been interesting in the 80's…heck, I'm not even sure they'd be good in the 80's!!
I'm actually a big fan of the dunk contest, but this past one was not only embarrassing, it was the worst ever…..by far.
Worst Dunk Contest Ever

What they need to do: have 2 or 3 random, non NBA dunk specialists come in and challenge 2 or 3 random NBA athletes. Would be entertaining to see some random people in the world make names for themselves. That one foreign white guy that has like a 60 inch vert would dominate. Him and T-Dub... and the Air up there. Omfg imagine those 3 in a contest.
While it may be interesting to see And1 people like The Helicopter, etc and other amateurs (e.g. Flight Bros on YouTube) take on NBA players…All Star weekend is meant to showcase the best of the NBA, so I doubt David Stern has any interest promoting competing interests as entertaining as it may be.
James White is an absolute beast. It would've been good if he got an invite to participate in the slam dunk contest when he was with the Spurs. But yeah, the contest really needs some star power. If there was only some way D Stern could "coerce" Lebron, Kobe, Howard, and Wade to enter…that's pay per view right there.

Man, Im soooooo glad I downloaded the last college dunk contest he was in............lost to Rudy Gay..........but man, it was IN-SANE, the sh*t he was pulling.
One of the best dunk contests Ive ever seen.............yeah, but shame he couldnt play for sh*t though, just too damned skinny and had no other attribute other than jumping in his arsenal.

OOIDA received another good ruling in January from U.S. Magistrate Judge David Nuffer in the case of OOIDA v. C.R. England.
The class action lawsuit was first filed in 2002 and went to trial in federal court in 2006. The takeaway for OOIDA and trucker plaintiffs was a benchmark truth-in-leasing victory for truckers.
Following the decision in Salt Lake City, U.S. District Court Judge Ted Stewart referred the case to Magistrate Judge David Nuffer to oversee the disposition of individual class members' escrow claims.
One issue before Judge Nuffer was whether Utah-based motor carrier C.R. England could assert set-offs for alleged repair and maintenance costs against individual class members' escrow accounts in the damages phase of the case. OOIDA and the truckers had moved to exclude these set-offs from consideration on the grounds that the court required C.R. England to deduct any repair and maintenance charges from class members' escrow funds when the motor carrier filed its final accounting in November 2008. The company opposed OOIDA's motion on the grounds that these repair and maintenance charges were "newly discovered" and were "legitimate set-offs."
The magistrate judge rejected C.R. England's arguments and ruled that it could not assert any claim for repair or maintenance charges against class members during the current damages phase of the case.
He said that the plain language of the court's ruling prohibited the consideration of these set-offs during the damages phase.
"Essentially, Judge Nuffer said that C.R. England missed the boat by not identifying these set-offs in its final accounting," said David A. Cohen, attorney for The Cullen Law Firm, OOIDA's litigation counsel. "The judge also said that letting C.R. England assert these claims at this late date would only serve to prolong a case that has been pending for many years."
Cohen called this latest ruling another big win for OOIDA and members of the class action.
"It takes over $600,000 in alleged set-offs against individual class members off the table. Many of the affected class members (roughly half) are entitled to 18 percent interest per year on their unlawfully retained escrow funds. My preliminary calculations are that, based on this ruling and the 18 percent ruling, C.R. England will owe the class roughly $1 million just on these repair and maintenance set-offs."
Cohen said the $1 million does not include additional damages owed to class members based on the court's prior exclusion of refurbishment claims.
Cohen said C.R. England may appeal Judge Nuffer's ruling. LL

FORT LEAVENWORTH, KS -- Fort Leavenworth recently completed Phase I of an initiative to implement the Army's Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Program (CSF) by installing new functional fitness equipment in its Harney gym.
Phase II of the project to expand functional fitness capabilities at Fort Leavenworth includes the construction of an 87,000-square-foot facility to permanently house the new equipment. Construction for that facility already is under way.
Phase III of the project, which has yet to be finalized, according to Col. Wayne Green, Garrison commander, includes expanding the Harney gym by 20,000 square feet to accommodate the influx of soldiers at Fort Leavenworth.
At the ceremony to dedicate the new equipment, Tom Weafer, program manager for the CSF program at Fort Leavenworth, explained that the new functional fitness equipment would help soldiers and their families improve more than just their physical health.
"Functional fitness goes beyond the expected physical domain," he said. "It affects the social domain through team workouts and the emotional dimension by building tenacity toward a disciplined approach to fitness."
Some $40,000 worth of equipment was installed during Phase I of the project, including $4,000 worth of gear donated by Operation Phoenix, a nonprofit group affiliated with CrossFit that donates funds to outfit the U.S. military with functional fitness equipment. The Operation Phoenix donation included free-standing, custom pull-up bars, medicine balls, kettlebells, barbells and a rowing machine. The Army also installed new flooring to accommodate the equipment.

New Bears coach Marc Trestman made it clear in his first press conference that quarterback Jay Cutler's going to be a pet project.
Trestman said he'd handle offensive play-calling, and that getting off to a good relationship with Cutler was going to be essential.
"I can't wait to get my hands on him," Trestman said. "That starts today."
The new Bears coach stressed that "the quarterback has to play at an efficient level," but also pointed out problems the Bears had last year that had not as much to do with Cutler.
"This guy loves football," Trestman said of Cutler. "He wants to be great. And hopefully we can give him some direction and protection."
Trestman also said defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli has chosen to leave. There were some reports yesterday that Marinelli had a chance to stay, but he's apparently looking elsewhere.

Florida blew a 1-1 tie open with two goals in the second period, another early in the final period and then kept pace with a couple late Fort Wayne strikes to earn its third-straight victory. The win kept the Everblades in sole possession of second-place in the South division, with two games in hand on South Carolina, which trails by a point, and with three games in hand on Gwinnett, which has a lead of three points. A primary assist on Matthew Pistilli's empty-netter gave Dan Milan his first multigame point streak of the season. Charles Landry's two secondary helpers gave him his first points since rejoining the club in late February. Florida (31-20-10, 72 PTS) and Fort Wayne (29-29-3, 61 PTS) square off again Saturday night.

Israel isn't a country of celebrity worship, but there's an aura that surrounds Amos Oz.
No other living Israeli author is as well known around the world as Oz. His bestselling autobiography, A Tale of Love and Darkness, has been translated into some 50 editions in 30 countries. Even though Oz hasn't yet won the Nobel Prize for Literature, each year he's rumored to be on the shortlist.
Oz is 74, is of modest height, and carries a pen and a fine-toothed comb in his breast pocket.
He has lived a tumultuous life. When he was 10, Oz witnessed the founding of the Jewish state. When he was 12, his mother committed suicide. When he was 15, he joined a kibbutz, a collective farm.
He left the kibbutz later in life, but in his newest book of short stories, Between Friends, Oz returns to the early years of the kibbutz movement, when the collective farms were still a wild Israeli ideological experiment.
Reporter Daniel Estrin spoke with author Amos Oz in his apartment in Tel Aviv.
ESTRIN: I'm wondering if you get a lot of correspondence from your readers, from people around the world.
OZ: I get many letters from readers. Some of them are very moving, some of them are very personal, some of them are heartwarming. People who read A Tale of Love and Darkness, for instance, write to me, "I have listened to your story now it is your turn to listen to mine." And then they write me their entire life story and sometimes these are very exciting stories.
ESTRIN: Let's talk about Between Friends, your new collection of short stories. The stories are intertwined; they're about one cast of characters living on a fictional kibbutz in the 1950s in Israel. I think they're quiet, they're poetic, sometimes funny, mostly sad. Why did you want to write about the kibbutz?
OZ: I have lived in a kibbutz for more than 30 years, and although I left the kibbutz 27 years ago, I still go back there in my dreams at least once a week. This signaled to me that it's time to go back and have a distant look at the kibbutz over the 1950s as I found it when I came there first at the age of 15 to start my life anew. And in Between Friends I tried to watch the kibbutz not with nostalgia, not with anger, but with precision and compassion.
ESTRIN: One of my favorite stories in the collection is called "Two Women," and it's about a man on the kibbutz who leaves his wife and moves in with another kibbutz member named Ariella…That is a theme that recurs in the book: Wives and husbands on the kibbutz leaving each other for other kibbutz members. That idea of a tight knit society on the kibbutz where everyone knows each other's dirty business, like their love lives. And I'm wondering if you think there are things that still exist in Israel from the old days of the kibbutz.
OZ: There are many kibbutz genes in Israeli society. There is a certain directness, a certain lack of hierarchies, a latent anarchism in Israeli society which I regard as the heritage of the kibbutz and I think it's a good heritage. I like it.
ESTRIN: Some of the characters on this fictional kibbutz lost their parents in the Holocaust, some of them didn't, but all of them came to the kibbutz to create a new life. I think many of them seem a little repressed in some ways.
OZ: Yes, I write many times about repressed characters, about characters who have made great sacrifices in order to establish the kibbutz. The founding fathers and mothers of the kibbutz community believed that they can change human nature in one blow. If only everyone does the same work, lives in the same quarters, dresses the same clothes, shares everything, eats the same food then pettiness and selfishness and jealousy and gossip and envy will go away and disappear. This was naive, it was unrealistic. Human nature is almost unchangeable, certainly it cannot be changed in one blow, and in one generation.
ESTRIN: I wonder if you think that Israelis are still trying to remake themselves, or is something different?
OZ: No, I don't think so. I think this immature ambition to change human nature in one blow is gone.
ESTRIN: What has replaced it here?
OZ: Well, a certain kind of hedonism, middle class values, passion, noisiness, pushiness, warm-heartedness. Everything that is very Mediterranean is true about Israeli society. It's a very Mediterranean society.
ESTRIN: Is there any moment that stands out in your mind from your experience on the kibbutz, emblematic of that old kibbutz?
OZ: There are many such moments. I remember a fiery, fiery argument in the secretariat of Kibbutz Hulda when I applied for one working day each week for my writing at the very beginning of my career as a writer, and there was a huge debate in the kibbutz committee. Some people said "yes" and some people said "no, it's a dangerous precedent. Everyone can call themselves an artist and then who will milk the cows?" And, "It's not for the committee to decide who is an artist and who isn't an artist." There was even one man who said, that "young Amos may be the new Tolstoy, but he is too young to be a writer; let him work in the field until he's 40, and then he knows something about life and he can write." Maybe he was right.
An extended version of Daniel Estrin's conversation with writer Amos Oz can be heard on Vox Tablet, the podcast of Tablet Magazine.

Clarkson University Students Develop Potsdam Sewage Treatment Model
A computer simulation constructed by Clarkson University students will help staff at Potsdam's Wastewater Treatment Plant manage future changes to the village's infrastructure.
Students in an advanced wastewater treatment course taught by Shane Rogers, an associate professor of civil & environmental engineering, began building the model during the spring semester to simulate the treatment plant's performance.
If construction projects like hotels, housing developments and shopping centers rise in Potsdam, the completed model will predict how the plant must adjust to the additional wastewater they will create, according to Water/Wastewater Treatment and Hydro Electric Power Chief Operator Robert M. Henninger.
"It will assist plant operators in predicting treatment changes," Henninger said. "Basically it's another set of eyes and ears and mind to help manage the plant."
When finished, the model will allow the village to experiment with various simulated scenarios, such as potential improvements to make the plant more energy efficient, Rogers said. The model will illustrate how different parts of the plant would react if one part of it changed.
Rogers said the project has been a learning experience both for the students and the village's staff, who have taught and learned from each other.
"There's a good win-win between the two," Rogers said. "It's very synergistic."
To begin establishing the model, Ashley Waldron, a graduate student in civil engineering, was one of six students who visited the sewage treatment plant twice a week for over two months and spent several hours each day collecting and testing samples. She analyzed the wastewater for various properties to provide a more complete picture of the plant's current condition.
Future classes will continue the work that Rogers' spring 2013 class began.
"The more data we took, the more accurate it became," Waldron said. "It lets you know what the state of the water is at any point [in the treatment system]. It would be such a money saver for the wastewater treatment plant in the future if Clarkson could have this model that's already being updated."
Waldron was grateful for the real-world experience she gained through the project.
"It was really helpful that instead of just talking about it, we were actually running those tests," Waldron said. "If you're hired someday by someone that wants to have a place modeled, you already have college experience doing that."
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Sometimes I get inspired by having a dish from a restaurant that I've never had before and try to replicate it at home. Sometimes inspiration comes from recipes I may see on television. I mostly get inspired by the certain items I see in the grocery store or farmer's market. Sometimes I fail at the outcome of what I'm making and sometimes I succeed. I just like to try new things and expand my horizons when it comes to testing new ingredients or cooking methods. James, my fiancé is a great guinea pig. He will generally eat whatever I make and is honest about how the food tastes. Unlike James, I myself am much more critical about how my food turns out. A Cheaters Chicken Enchilada Lasagna 1 Store bought whole rotisserie chicken 1 L. Can of green enchilada sauce 2 c. Shredded Monterey jack cheese 1 Can pinto beans 14 Corn tortillas Serving Size: 6 Preheat oven to 375*. Shred 1/2 the rotisserie chicken into small pieces and set aside. Drain and rinse beans and set aside. Coat bottom of casserole dish with enchilada sauce. Microwave corn tortillas until soft. I put them in a plastic ziplock back, unsealed and nuke them for about 2 minutes. Layer 5 corn tortillas on the bottom of the casserole dish and then add a thin layer of the shredded chicken on top of the tortillas. Add some beans and then cheese. Add small amount of enchilada sauce to maintain moisture on top of cheese, chicken and beans. Add another 5 layers of corn tortillas and add the rest of the chicken, beans, cheese. Again, add a small amount of sauce to maintain moisture and then cover the last layer with the remainder of the tortillas. Add the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top layer, making sure that all of the tortillas are covered with sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Pull lasagna from the oven and remove the foil and add a layer of cheese on top. Continue to bake for another 30 minutes. Remove from oven when cheese on top is desired done-ness. Some like crispy cheese, others like it soft and gooey. 30 minutes will give you the gooey but firm texture. Let rest for 10 minutes to cool and set. Scoop out desired amount and top with cilantro, sour cream and preferred hot sauce. Cook Time: 1.5 hours (Stiff is an amateur home cook and food blogger.

I just discovered an online competition on the theme of Why Afghanistan Matters. The Allied Joint Forces Command HQ Brunssum (which provides oversight to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan) has been looking for original photos of the country, its people, and those who are fighting to free them from Taliban tyranny.
The competition has just closed, so too bad if you wanted to enter, but have a look at, and vote for, some of the stunning entries already uploaded in the four categories of People of Afghanistan, Beautiful Afghanistan, ANSF in Action (Afghan National Security Forces) and ISAF in Action.
Before this, between June and November last year, JFCB hosted a video contest on YouTube. The assignment was to create a short video on the same theme of "Why Afghanistan Matters." View the winners here.
Voting ends April 30.

Celebrating Independence Day and In Home Elderly Care
Summer is in full force and we are ready to celebrate our nation's birthday on the Fourth of July. This extra special holiday is one of the very few that are uniquely American. Many families use the extended holiday weekend to take a trip to a nearby campsite or kick off their summer vacation. Families and friends find this holiday the perfect excuse to grill out and host pot-luck style barbecues. The 4th usually produces awe-inspiring fireworks and children frolicking with sparklers. The 4th of July is the epitome of the carefree way of life in the summertime.
Celebrating Independence Day can be a lot of fun, but the summer heat can make it difficult for an elderly loved one to participate in the festive activities. Excessive heat can be dangerous for the elderly who have difficulty regulating their body temperature due to medications or other health issues. There's no need to believe that your loved one can't still enjoy this summer holiday. Why not bring the festivities to them? Patriotic themed crafts and some refreshing iced tea can be a relaxing way to spend the afternoon indoors when the daytime heat is at its peak. If your loved one is bold, perhaps she might appreciate a red, white and blue themed manicure. If your elderly loved one can't venture away from home due to mobility or other health issues, you could bring a patriotic movie to celebrate the holiday with them. It is also possible to watch the fireworks with your loved one as the Macy's Firework show is broadcast every year on television.
If you are looking for way to celebrate Independence Day with an elderly loved one, and the weather isn't predicted to be excessively hot, be sure they are prepared if they choose to venture out. If you are going to a parade, it is best to bring a chair, an umbrella to block the sun's rays, and wear loose fitting clothing. Make sure you have plenty of water so you and your loved ones stay hydrated in the summer heat. If your elderly loved one is able to make the trip to the family barbeque, be sure to have some healthier food items available if they have dietary restrictions. A cool fruit salad and some fresh grilled fish would be a tasty celebratory lunch. Red, white, and blue food items such as strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream on a cake would be a delicious Fourth of July treat! You can't really go wrong with a fruit kabob or some fresh sliced watermelon!
If you would like to learn more about caring and consistent in home help for the elderly and the many benefits of professional in home elderly care or dementia and Alzheimer's care, call Senior Helpers of Crown Point to speak to a senior care specialist today 219-662-2999!

DR Congo will attempt to get their first win of this year's Afcon when they lock horns with the Mena of Niger at the Nelson Mandela Bay Sports Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Thursday.
Both countries are yet to cross paths in any level of football and this Group B clash promises fireworks as each of the teams aim at getting the maximum points which will edge them closer to the knockout stage.
On paper, it might look like a David and Goliath affair, but considering how the Nigeriens held Mali until the last minute before succumbing, there is much at stake in this epic clash.
With players such as Moussa Maazou, who has previously played at the highest level in France and Russia as well as Koffi Dan Kowa of Esperance Sportif du Zarziz, Abdul Karim Lacina of Cotton Sports Garoua, and Issoufou Boubacar Garba of Hammam, the Nigeriens can cause havoc if underrated.
The Leopards are also brimming with confidence after coming from two goals down to draw with group favourites Ghana, and they will be hoping to build on that and record their first win of this campaign.
Tresor Mputu, midfield anchor Youssoup Mulumbu, veteran Lomana Tresor Lua-Lua and the free scoring Dieumerci Mbokani can lessen the load of the Leopards if they avoid complacency.
An interesting department of the game will be in the middle where the tireless Mulumbu will battle for supremacy with young midfielder Amadou Moutari of French side Le Mans, who is likely to start.
The gangly central defensive duo of Kowa and Koroumah Fatoukouma will also have an arduous task in their hands in keeping Mputu and Mbokani at bay.
Niger's heaviest defeat in their football history was handed to them by DR Congo's neighbours Congo Brazzaville, who walloped them by 10-0 in Cote d'Ivoire on December 27, 1961.
DR Congo qualified for the knockout stage the last time they played in Group B of the Afcon, in Egypt 2006.
- Niger have the least number of European-based players in this year's Afcon.
The last time Claude Le Roy faced a German coach in the Afcon was in 2008, when Otto Pfister masterminded Cameroon's 1-0 win over Ghana.
Niger's German coach Gernort Rohr has lost his last two Afcon games against teams handled by French coaches (Alain Girese of Mali in the 2010 Afcon when he was coaching Gabon, and Patrice Cateron of Mali in the Group B game of the ongoing tournament).
- This is Niger's third major Caf tournament participation in a row – 2011 Chan, 2012 and 2013 Afcon editions.

Interdisciplinary Care
Depending on your type of cancer, you may be referred to one of our Interdisciplinary Clinics.
In an Interdisciplinary Clinic, experts in diagnosing and treating specific types of cancers-radiologists, pathologists, surgeons, radiation and medical oncologists, and, if needed, geneticists-come together with specially trained nurses, care managers, dietitians, and scheduling coordinators to provide personalized, complete cancer care, all through one point of contact, at one location.
At times, individual visits with several providers may be coordinated on a single day, eliminating needlessly long delays between appointments. This also allows patients to meet with many specialists, and together design the best possible treatment plan. Once a plan is developed, patients often can receive part of their treatment close to home with one of our regional partners.
Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every patient:
- Sees the right medical staff in the right order
- Gets the necessary tests with timely and accurate results
- Understands the diagnosis and the best treatment options
- Has complete support throughout the process
