The Scientist interviews Nir Barzilai, M.D., and Evris Gavathiotis, Ph.D., about their success in pursuing private funding in the face of federal funding cuts. Drs. Barzilai and Gavathiotis share how they identified and pursued alternative funding sources and how it has helped advance their research. Dr. Barzilai is the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research and director of the Institute for Aging Research at Einstein and attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center. Dr. Gavathiotis is assistant professor of biochemistry and of medicine.
The New York Times features John Greally, M.B.B.Ch., Ph.D., and the artist who works with Einstein's genetic researchers to help visualize "big data." Dr. Greally explains that large biological data sets are relegated to the digital realm and it is difficult for researchers to develop an instinct for what's important. Dr. Greally is professor of genetics, of medicine and of pediatrics and director of the center for epigenomics at Einstein and attending physician at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore.
The New York Times references Einstein's centenarian studies and Nir Barzilai, M.D., in an obituary on 109-year old Irving Kahn. Kahn, considered the oldest active Wall Street investor before his death, was a participant in Dr. Barzilai's studies at Einstein's Institute of Aging Research. He was also profiled as part of Einstein's Longevity Genes Project video series. Dr. Barzilai is the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research and director of the Institute for Aging Research at Einstein and attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center.
Bloomberg News interviews Nir Barzilai, M.D., about Novartis' efforts to develop FDA-approved drug rapamycin as an anti-aging, preventative therapy. It was long believed that rapamycin suppressed the immune response, rendering it unsuitable for long-term use in older adults. However, Dr. Barzilai notes that a recent "watershed" moment occurred when new research found it merely modulated the immune response in humans, clearing the way for more research. Dr. Barzilai is the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research and director of the Institute for Aging Research at Einstein and attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center.
USA Today interviews Dr. David Rosenstreich about research that finds poverty and poor living conditions are the causes of high rates of asthma – whether in cities or suburbs. As the concentration of poverty has increased in suburbs and rural areas, so have the rates of asthma in those areas. Dr. Rosenstreich points out that the asthma rates are vastly different in Harlem compared to the Upper West Side of Manhattan, although the two neighborhoods are next to each other. This reinforces that it is low socioeconomic status and associated poor living conditions that leads to asthma. Dr. Rosenstreich is professor and director of the division of allergy and immunology in the department of medicine at Einstein and Montefiore Medical Center and the Joseph and Sadie Danciger Distinguished Scholar in Microbiology/Immunology at Einstein.
What's a question your doctor should be asking you according to a Time interview with Peter Selwyn, M.D., M.P.H., and Einstein medical student Ross Kristal? Their study, which found a correlation between soda consumption and health problems, suggests that asking how much soda a patient drinks should be included when taking a patient's history. Kristal, a fourth year medical student, notes that information about overall diet and physical activity are vital in preventing and managing certain diseases but is rarely captured, which is why the question is standard at Montefiore Medical Center, the University Hospital for Einstein. Dr. Selwyn is chair of family and social medicine at Einstein and Montefiore.
The New York Times and NPR feature Nir Barzilai, M.D., and one of his centenarian study participants in a joint article on aging. Dr. Barzilai notes that as a scientist, his goal isn't to help people live longer, but to live healthier. Dr. Barzilai is the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research and director the Institute for Aging Research at Einstein and attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center.
Nature interviews Ana Maria Cuervo, M.D., Ph.D., about her research on autophagy, a critical cellular recycling process linked to numerous diseases. Dr. Cuervo's numerous contributions in the field are detailed, including implicating faulty autophagy in Parkinson's disease and discovering its role in regulating hunger in the brain and metabolism in the liver. Dr. Cuervo is professor of developmental and molecular biology, of anatomy and structural biology, and of medicine, co-director of the Institute for Aging Research, and holds the Robert and Renée Belfer Chair for the Study of Neurodegenerative Diseases at Einstein.
CBS News interviews Chinazo Cunningham, M.D., M.S., about the growing problem of opioid painkiller abuse and addiction. Dr. Cunningham explains why opioid abuse has increased significantly in recent years, her research on bias on the part of doctors in prescribing and monitoring opioids, and how Einstein has a structured curriculum to teach future doctors how to treat addition. Dr. Cunningham is professor of medicine and family and social medicine at Einstein and associate chief of the division of general internal medicine at Montefiore Medical Center.
The New York Times features new research by Elina Jerschow, M.D., that found medications are the cause of most fatal allergic reactions. Dr. Jerschow notes that antibiotics and radiocontrast agents used in imaging studies are the two top medicines responsible for allergic deaths. Dr. Jerschow is assistant professor of medicine at Einstein and director of the Drug Allergy Center at Montefiore Medical Center.
Wall Street Journal interviews Judy Wylie-Rosett, Ph.D., about research that suggests artificial sweeteners may raise blood sugar levels by altering the body's gut bacteria. Dr. Wylie-Rosett notes that the study is important since it is the first to examine how gut microbes contribute to processing real and fake sugars. Dr. Wylie-Rosett is head of the division of health promotion and nutrition research, and professor of epidemiology & population health and of medicine at Einstein.
New York Times interviews Kami Kim, M.D., about research that finds the parasite Toxoplasma gondii can manipulate the behavior of its host by switching on genes in brain cells. Research by Dr. Kim has found that a number of pathogens, including leprosy, appear to use DNA methylation to turn genes on and off in the animal it infects. Dr. Kim is professor medicine, of microbiology & immunology and of pathology.

Luke Kane and Jud Hightower became the first team in nine years to win the Budweiser Partnership two years in a row, and did so in a big way.
Their 17 and 16 win against Tate Allred and Darrin Davis of Perryton in the championship flight final Sunday at Ross Rogers WildHorse was the largest margin in this event since 1991, when Tom Doughtie and Ralph Ellis beat the late Norm Saunders and Donnie Loerwald, 19 and 16.
The largest margin of victory in this tournament's 57-year history was in 1969, when Buster Carter and Richard Ellis beat John Farquhar and James Herring, 21 and 20, in the low-ball, low-total format that offers two points per hole.
This win by Kane and Hightower makes them eligible for the 2008 Coors Tournament of Champions that will begin Aug. 14.
They will try to become the first duo to win the Budweiser Partnership and the Coors Partnership in consecutive years when the Coors event begins Aug. 8.
''Getting in the Tournament of Champions is what we all play for every summer,'' Kane said. ''They treat you so great, and it's an honor to qualify.''
This final that began at 8:30 a.m. and ended shortly after 4 p.m. was not close for long.
Kane and Hightower won a point at the first hole, then won two at the next for a 3-up advantage and never looked back.
Allred and Davis won two points at 3 to trim their deficit to one, but Kane and Hightower won both points at 5 and 6 for a 5-up advantage. When the team made the turn after nine holes, Kane and Hightower were seven points in front.
They pulled away by winning two points at 10, another at 11 and two at 12 and 14 for a 14-up advantage.
Their big charge stalled slightly when they lost two points at 14 and one each at 16 and 17. When the first 18 holes was completed, they enjoyed an 11-up advantage.
Allred's eagle at the par-5 second hole in the afternoon session cut the deficit to nine, but at No. 3, Kane quickly ended any hopes of a comeback. He drove the green from 347 yards away, then watched Allred made birdie from the trees right of the green with a great putt. With the possibility of a momentum switch, Kane rolled in his putt from about 10 feet for an eagle-2 that was worth two points, and the lead was back to 11.
''I think that was what finally did it for us,'' Hightower said. ''Tate made a great birdie, but when Luke made eagle, they never made another run.''
At 5, Kane and Hightower collected two points, added one at 6, two at 7, one at 8 and one at 9 for a 16-up advantage.
At the par-4 10th, Kane's approach shot hit the pin and came to rest two inches from the hole for a pick-up birdie, and the match was over.
''Winning this year was so much different that last year,'' Kane said. ''A year ago, we played a lot of close matches to get to the final.
''This year, we never had a match get past the 15th hole before this, and once we got going against Tate and Darrin, we kept it going.
''Either Jud or I was making birdie a lot of the time. And in this format that's good. When you do that, the other team has to make birdies, too, to stay close.''
In the morning round, Hightower was 6 under, and Kane was 1 under, while their opponents were both 2 over, thus creating an 11-shot difference in actual score and an 11-up advantage in the format.

Smart tools for the cloud and rack
Data Center
The server space is changing, bringing new opportunities for the agile admin. If you plan on taking up residence in the new data center, you'd better get your toolkit ready. This month we explore tools and techniques for data center and server room environments.
The data center is in a state of continuous re-invention. Today's data centers are huge off-site facilities in which thousands of virtual machines invisibly migrate and execute. But as futuristic as these new facilities might appear, they are really an extension of an ancient equation: efficiency through geographical concentration and economies of scale. Whether you get your cycles from an old-fashioned server room or a new-fangled virtual WalMart, you'll find plenty to think about this month.
We start with some tips on performance tuning for virtual environments. Most administrators have the sense that virtualization exacts some performance cost, but how much is it really costing? And what steps can you take to minimize the efficiency loss? We take a vendor-neutral look at the mysteries of virtual performance.
In the rush to embrace the wonders of the cloud, many organizations uploaded their infrastructures without stopping to consider the additional performance benefits available through more efficient use of cloud services.
Our second article explores some examples describing how to write web apps that take advantage of the subtle differences between cloud services and conventional web environments.
We also examine PelicanHPC, a Linux distro designed for building high-performance clusters, and, for those who still have custody of the hardware, we end with a look at how to map a network with the ingenious Nagios visualization add-on NagVis.
Whether you are a new age or old guard admin, you're sure to learn something new in this month's cover story.

25 Ways to Make the Most of User Group Sunday
By laurenmckay-Oracle on Oct 15, 2015
In recognition of the OAUG's 25th anniversary, here are 25 tips on how to get the most out of this major networking day.
1. Come early. You have a better chance of grabbing a great seat and getting a head start on introductions.
2. Stay late. There are always opportunities for mingling with peers and experts after and between sessions.
3. Bring plenty of business cards. Make it easy for your new acquaintances to stay in touch after the conference.
4. Come with three questions on the topic being presented. Ask yourself exactly what you would like to learn about the covered topic beforehand, and be sure those three questions are answered.
5. Share something you've learned. Effective networking is fueled by the give-and-take of information and knowledge.
6. Hydrate. Seriously. It keeps you energized.

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
Why did my five-month-old suddenly stop sleeping through the night? Could he need more food in the daytime?
It is common for babies this age to begin waking more at night because they're teething. Despite popular beliefs, studies have found no connection between solid foods and sleep, so it's probably not a food issue.

Yeah because the school paid him off $2.75 million for no reason, right? Had this actually been as severe as reported they would have never settled with him because they would have had clear cause to fire him.
The fact is the overwhelming majority of his players still vouch for him to this day and many of them have come out and said the charges were blown way out of proportion. The only two direct player quotes I could find were from Miller, who by the way changed his story multiple times, and from a depth player who was no longer with the team having been given a firm handshake after a season ending injury during his senior year. Even the kids own father said the following "I stand behind the university and Coach Leavitt 100 percent," Paul Miller told the St. Pete Times. "I truly believe there was no malicious intent to hit anyone. He grabbed his shoulder pad, but it was like a motivational thing. After talking with Joel, he was satisfied there was not a slap, not at all."
Navarro Bowman spoke very highly of his character as well,
"I love Jim Leavitt. He reminds me of my high school coach in a way. He never lets you have a day off. Even if you aren't feeling good, he finds a way to make you smile…What he didn't know was that I was a fan of him, too. He was at USF, and he brought that team up from nothing. I was up at Penn State for my visit when they played USF, and I always wondered who that coach (of theirs) was. You'd see him on the sideline and he's so enthusiastic during the game, and that's the type of coach you want to play for."
Additionally an Oklahoma based blog while looking into his resume as a possible DC candidate during the last offseason interviewed a former USF player who they say "
I am not saying the guy is a saint, but all of the evidence points towards a trumped up case exacerbated by a fame hungry University President that wanted to bring in a bigger name (Skip Holtz). So just keep dragging his name in the mud when you don't know anything about the circumstances. While if you notice all of the posters who were in the Tampa area at the time and actually followed the story stand behind Jim Leavitt because they know just how good of a guy he was. I would also like to re-iterate that Jim Harbaugh trusted him enough to have him coaching perhaps the single best unit on his NFL team just one year after this happened. If you doubt me vouching for his character, do you also doubt Jim Harbaugh?

Posted on 03/06/2010 3:04:24 PM PST by ricks_place
The ground of debate shifts when a prominent figure says that a contentious topic is a matter of morality, not politics. President Obama should remember that precept in these final days of the health-care debate.
The best recent example of the power of moral argument was Adm. Mike Mullens frank statement to Congress last month about the dont ask, dont tell policy for gays in the military: No matter how I look at this issue, I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens.
By treating the issue as a matter of conscience, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs altered the national conversation...
Obama needs to take a similar moral stand in the health-care debate. As he meets with wavering congressmen and makes a final push for a bill, he should stress that the reason to pass health-care reform isnt because it will cut premiums, or reduce costs, or help middle-class workers, or any of the other politically expedient arguments that have been advanced. Its because extending health care to all citizens is morally the right thing to do.
Heres what I want Obama to say:
A just society assures its citizens basic needs. It protects their life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, irrespective of the circumstances they were born into. Citizenship in a great country should not be a DNA lottery, or a case of survival of the richest. A nation has a moral obligation to care for its people, and if it fails to do so, it is a lesser country.
(Excerpt) Read more at voices.washingtonpost.com ...
Dream on!
Now we have the Dems lecturing We the People on morals? They who stand for homosexuality and abortion? Really now...their chutzpah knows no bounds.
"A just society assures its citizens basic needs. It protects their life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, irrespective of the circumstances they were born into. Citizenship in a great country should not be a DNA lottery, or a case of survival of the richest. A nation has a moral obligation to care for its people, and if it fails to do so, it is a lesser country."
And tell me please which country has proven more morally compassionate to its peoples and the countries of other?
This is about property rights. It always is. But most Americans are driven by emotions such as envy, hate, anger, rage, sadism. That's why they vote for socialists like Ears and Mother Pelosi.
"Citizenship in a great country should not be a DNA lottery"
As in an accidental birth of OBAMA?
A man whose origins and actual citizenship is by definition suspect, AND, who considers the US not great but one country like any other, AND who has disparaged Nevada and gambling more than once—thinks he can dictate terms?
Does this include those who would be murdered in the womb as a result of ObamaCare? If not, it's all a bunch of liberal bull****!
Well, Obama is shifty.
A just society does not steal from those who work to provide for those who don't.
[The ground of debate shifts when a prominent figure says that a contentious topic is a matter of morality, not politics.]
Al Gore began framing his global warming hysteria in those terms and immediately afterward the bottom began to drop out from under the "scientific consensus" claimed by the IPCC.
It seems to me, when some politician suddenly declares that their political agenda is a matter of morality, not politics, then it's a clear sign that their agenda is really about how much power they can grab for themselves.
Everyone in this country already has healthcare.
And without the 2 trillion dollar middle man.
Nor is such a directive documented in the Constitution.
What happened?
Yes it does via private charity, NOT government confiscation!
How does this work for the unborn babies? Just wondering.
It's not about "who" they are; it's about "what" they are; sex deviates, mal-adjusted to societal normalcy and natural sexual behavior, and trying to immerse themselves into a group to whick they don't belong. Their values are NOT those of the near-universal nomally sexually-adjusted service personnel.
If they wanna play their deviant games, don't bring it to the military groups.
Trying to lend legitamacy to every wacko and mal-content via "diversity" is what has torn this country apart. What people do with their own deviances has no business being an issue to be approved, de facto, by recognition. If you wanna marry a sheep, do it off-base.
"whick" = which
Everywhere that this tacit acceptance of homosexuality has been allowed it has corrupted, deformed and irreparably harmed those institutions and millions of people. Now they want to do it to the finest military in the world.
We are fighting 2 wars against a ruthless enemy, the economy is in the dumper and "commander zero" sees this as a pressing issue?
Those that have studied rhetoric know that once the argument goes from political to moral grounds, there is no room for compromise. Argument is over. It is no longer about the future, it is about morality. Why is it that no politician raised the fundamental question, namely, is it the proper role of government to provide health care? Health care is a goods, not a right. Is it moral to saddle generations to come with an insurmountable debt? Is it moral to provide for an entitlement that will destroy the best medical care in the world? Is it moral to tell people that these entitlements are sustainable when they are not?
The truth is Obamacare had been on the front burner since early last summer. The public opposes the plan by roughly a 60/40 margin, which hasn't budged since late in the summer. Nothing Obama or anybody else says at this point is going to shift public opinion to any significant degree one way or another.
Asking that question makes Mother Pelosi laugh. There would be really very few who have the balls to ask that. Raising the "proper role of government" question is just kookery to most, even around here.
The pivot to "morality" on Obamacare can mean only one thing:

I just want to know when we will allow serial-killers into the armed forces. Right now, they have to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens.
Actually, the official policy is "no Gays". But the "don't ask ,don't tell" doesn't make people lie, it just makes them keep their mouth shut.
I don't think he knows what "assures" means. It doesn't mean "insures". Of course, under the common definition, a "just society" does no such thing. It's not the job of "society" to care for individuals, only to care for the society.
Is it moral to debase the current Health Care system with a government takeover, mandatory unions, death panels, health panels, fewer doctors, more suffering, required abortion funding, higher costs, and no choice? The moral argument is against this Obama bill.
Our next line of defense will be lawsuits on the Constitutionality, winning control in 2010 and electing Sara as Pres in 2012 and reversing this monster.
Why not let quadriplegics, the blind and the mentally retarded in to? They just want to serve their country.
Obama could shift the health-care debate into a winning situation for himself, if he just came out and said the bill as it stands, sucks! And the best thing that could be done for the American people would be to trash this crime against the people and start over from scratch. Leaving out all the buy offs for senators votes, forcing citizens to buy insurance, paying for abortion, cutting medicare, and on and on. And actually work "FOR" the people instead of against us.
They are halfway right about the moral issue. CommieCare will end up killing more people than the current system as medical advancements stall and people die waiting for rationed care. A government should not morally kill it's own citizens. I might add rich people live longer and as this will make us all poorer that too will kill even more.
Democrats aren't lucky enough, PUNKS!

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:
This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollees cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases
By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009
Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees in fiscal 2010, Matz said. We took them at their word, and I cant believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward, he added.

I was in the Army for 6 years. Never once did my sexuality ever come into question. I never served with women in the Army, but I don't see how that would have changed anything. Yes, there were two guys taking a shower together which caused them to be discharged, but the country wasn't in danger because of it.

Hey, I'm Joachim Meyer!
Stockholm, Sweden · Member since July 2012
I'm 30 years old, born and bred in Copenhagen, Denmark, but has now relocated to Stockholm, Sweden.
I love new experiences and meeting new people and have since 2005 lived in the U.S., India, China and Singapore. I do not have a favorite travel destination per say since I have loved every country I have lived in in their own unique way, but I have to say that my half year living in Honolulu in the U.S. state of Hawai'i was quite amazing. I'm the type of traveller who likes a good challenge so I often go to destinations I have not visited before.
I am an experienced Airbnber', both as a host in Copenhagen and Stockholm, and as a guest all around the world.

Nigel Havers is coming back to Coronation Street but admits he has no idea how long he'll be in the show.
The 62-year-old actor returns to Weatherfield this week as charming conman Lewis Archer, who did a disappearing act in 2010.
But Nigel confessed on the official Corrie website that he is unsure if Audrey Roberts – played by Sue Nicholls,68 – will forgive him when he bumps into her at a country pub.
He revealed: "Lewis does a runner after first meeting Audrey, because he's so scared of what's going to happen.
"And then, he thinks to himself, 'Hang on, I'd better pull myself together'.
"He turns up in Coronation Street and, quite courageously, says, 'Bring it on. Come on, go for me'. Which they do!"
Nigel added: "Audrey may or may not believe Lewis's new side. We have to wait and see. Even I don't know!"

Today we catch Ebony laying out in the sun on a hot summer day . All we know is she has a skimpy bathing suit and a huge ass swallowing up her g string. What we dont know is shes got a thing for Voodoo and she plans to involve him in her day by the pool. With an ass like that, I dont think shes going to have to try hard to recruit him as her pool boy.

The Pretenders
The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England, in March 1978. The original band comprised initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). Following the drug-related deaths of Honeyman-Scott and Farndon, the band has experienced numerous subsequent personnel changes, with Hynde as the only consistent member, and Chambers returning after an absence of several years.
Song lyrics[edit]
All songs written by Chrissie Hynde, except as noted.
Pretenders (1979)[edit]
- I like the way you cross the street 'cause your precious.
Moving through the Cleveland heat, how precious.
Taking rides and all the kicks was so precious.
But you know I was shittin' bricks 'cause I'm precious.
- Precious
- Each little tear that falls from your eyes
Makes, makes me want
To take you in my arms and tell you
To stop all your sobbing.
- Stop Your Sobbing
- You asked me for advice, I said use the door.
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore.
And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail.
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry.
- Gonna use my arms;
Gonna use my legs.
Gonna use my style;
Gonna use my sidestep.
Gonna use my fingers;
Gonna use my, my, my imagination.
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here,
No one like me.
I'm special so special.
I gotta have some of your attention. Give it to me.
- Brass in Pocket, written by James Honeyman-Scott and Chrissie Hynde
Pretenders II (1981)[edit]
- I'm the adultress.
But I didn't want to be and I'm convenient
And I make good tea.
I stand accused
Of the worst crime in history.
That's my mystery;
I'm the adultress.
- The Adultress
- You're not supposed to do that;
You know you're not allowed to.
But you seem to get some kind of kick
Out of doing what you're not allowed to.
You deliberately defy the rules
'cause the law's upheld by fools.
Shit on that.
Bad boys get spanked.
- Bad Boys Get Spanked
Learning to Crawl (1984)[edit]
- The middle of the road is trying to find me.
I'm standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me.
Well I got a smile for everyone I meet
As long as you don't try dragging my bay
Or dropping the bomb on my street.
- I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of? oh oh oh oh
Now we're back in the fight;
We're back on the train.
Oh, back on the chain gang.
- The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you.
But I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part.
- Back on the Chain Gang
- I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone.
There was no train station;
There was no downtown.
South Howard had disappeared.
All my favorite places.
My city had been pulled down,
Reduced to parking spaces.
A, o, way to go Ohio.
- In these frozen and silent nights,
Sometimes in a dream you appear.
Outside under the purple sky,
Diamonds in the snow sparkle.
Our hearts were singing.
It felt like Christmastime.
Get Close (1986)[edit]
- I know I'm a peasant
Dressed as a princess.
But that doesn't mean you have
To take my clothes away.
If I could show you
Some happiness,
Then I would feel
Like a real princess.
That to me would be success
My baby.
- My Baby
- I seen you dancin',
A natural beauty.
You make this dive
Seem sublime.
You really get
To the heart of the music.
You're the poetry of time.
- My Baby
- Don't get me wrong,
If I'm looking kind of dazzled.
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by.
Don't get me wrong,
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide.
Don't get me wrong.
- Once in awhile,
Two people meet,
Seemingly for no reason,
They just pass on the street.
Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere.
Who can explain the thunder and rain?
But there's something in the air.
- Don't Get Me Wrong
Last of the Independents (1994)[edit]
- Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes.
Come on and come to me now,
Don't be ashamed to cry.
Let me see you through,
'Cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you,
You don't know what to do.
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less.
I'll stand by you;
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.
- I'll Stand by You, written by Chrissie Hynde, Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly

Essentially I would like to have a section of a site, separate from the WP admin, that can hold documents for registered users of a certain group to view accessible only by user/password. It would really be nice if the documents themselves could not be linked to or accessed by URL unless logged in. Please let me know of any suggestions!
Hello Maxwell and welcome to WPSE :)
I want to believe that when you talk about:
If my assumptions are (hopefully) correct then you are looking for a Download Manager. There are a few in the WordPress Database and these are the links to a couple of them.
WP-Filebase Download Manager, very well supported with a sync feature. !!
WordPress Download Manager, never tried it but looks quite simple and very user friendly.
WordPress Download Monitor - we use it and are very happy with it. :)
Please have a look and see which one meets your needs.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you do,

If you've come to the point where you receive more spam messages on your phone than actual messages from your friends, then it's either you need to get more friends or unsolicited SMS are really getting out of control. If it's the former, you might need to go out more to have a social life and we can't help you with that (there are apps that can though)If it's the latter, there is a new solution that's out there in the market and it's called Truemessenger.
If the name sounds familiar, yes, they are from the same developers that have brought us Truecaller and Truedialler, apps that have helped users manage those unwanted calls from people you don't actually know. The same principle behind those apps will also now be applied to SMS through Truemessenger. Even if the number texting you is not actually on your phonebook, the app will try to identify the sender using the power of more than 150 million users to help identify that number, and whether or not they're actually spammers.
If you've confirmed that it is indeed a number that constantly sends out spam, you can block and report the number, together with other members of the community, so action will be taken. And just in case you do know who's messaging you, but you don't want to receive any messages from that contact, you also have the option to not get messages from them. The app will also let you create advanced filtering options, which can include known spam keywords or numbers.
One other bonus that this app brings you is an exclusive Truemessenger message alert tone from house music powerhouse Avicii. These are all well and good, but only if you're in India. Truemessenger is just available for now in that country, so if you live there, you can download it for free from the Google Play Store.

tres bon choix de produit
So far so good, too early to say.
excellent product
was very happy with all aspects and delivery prompt
In general I like feelunique because their prices are cheaper and they have good selection of goods.Also, the delivery is free and it is very quick. I prefer more natural cosmetics so if they can expand their choice in that regard, that would be much appreciated.
Excellent range of products at reasonable prices. I do feel the company could be a little more environmentally friendly when it comes to packaging - there were far too many foam peanuts and the box was huge. If the contents were put in a smaller box, I'm sure they all would have fit more compactly without damage. Also, standard delivery took a while - maybe you should consider free next day delivery over a certain amount as many other companies offer this.

About Me
My prices are reasonable. Don't ask me to do anything for free. If you expect to get anything like you see in my portfolio, then I expect to be paid … no trades.
I am not opposed to doing "test" shoots. Testing is the industry term for a free or paid shoot between a model and photographer to see how well they do for possible future work. Every model and photographer in the industry must do this from time to time regardless of experience level or status. It has less to do with building a portfolio and more to do with staying current and fresh. A test shoot for me means: no makeup artist, no concept, no stylization. A model shows up with a few simple outfits and we come up a shoot from there with no expectations. I DO NOT do free test shots for just anyone. I will contact you if I'm interested in doing a shoot. Otherwise, I will be happy to quote you my rates.

Adding 40 miles to his only previous performance, Nik Gardiner justified his top seeding when he won the national 24-hour time trial championship which ended at Farndon, near Chester, yesterday.
Gardiner, from Bath, who just missed a medal in his only previous outing, in 1999, covered 480.469 miles around the Prees, Tern Hill and Battlefield area of Shropshire.
It gave him a winning margin of almost 10 miles over Preston's Jose Pinon Shaw, who has made an inspirational return after treatment for cancer. Doncaster's Andy Briggs was a similar distance back in third place.
The men's teams were eclipsed by the Walsall RCC trio of Lynne Taylor, Marina Bloom and Tracey Maund, who improved their own British women's team record with an aggregate of almost 1,296 miles.
Lynne Taylor, the Land's End to John O'Groats record holder, claimed sixth place, from a field of 70, with 443.994 miles.
Chris Hopkinson, leader of the Matlock CC team which was expected to mount the main challenge, led in the early stages but slumped to seventh.
With two months to go, Kevin Dawson looks increasingly certain to retain his British best all-rounder time trial title after a winning ride of 290.467 miles in Elmet CRC's 12-hour event in Yorkshire yesterday.
Dawson finished with more than 18 miles to spare over Gethin Butler, the former champion.
Daniel Fleeman, 21, from Yoxall, Staffs, who missed the whole of last season after smashing both kneecaps when he was involved in a collision with a car, lifted the British under-23 road race title at Oakley, Buckinghamshire, yesterday, two seconds ahead of Richard Whitehorn.

We're excited to announce the faculty for the 2016 Song School.
Songwriting Instructors
Vance Gilbert | Bonnie Hayes | Kathy Mattea | Pat Pattison | Paul Reisler | Darrell Scott | Steve Seskin | Cheryl Wheeler
Elective Instructors
Jenn Adams | "Chicago Mike" Beck | Mai Bloomfield | Ron Browning | Terri Delaney | Val Denn | Ellis | Rebecca Folsom | Connor Garvey | Robby Hecht | JJ Jones | Arthur Lee Land | John Linn | Clare McLeod | Mouths of Babes | Bill Nash | Justin Roth | Alan Rowoth | Amy Speace | Tom Wasinger
Registration for the 2016 Song School is now sold-out. If you'd like to be notified about extra availability sign-up for our Song School notification email list. Connect with your fellow Song School students in the Festivarian Forum. Make sure you're signed up for the "Notes from the Planet" email newsletter for all the latest news.
These discs were followed by the self-released Somerville Live (2000), lionized by the Boston Globe as the disc "young songwriters should study the way law students cram for bar exams," and One Thru Fourteen (2002), a stylistically varied offering that New York's Town and Village called "lively, eclectic, electrifying and transcending." Gilbert followed with Side Of The Road (2003), a duo album with Ellis Paul, lauded as "haunting, artful, and lovely" by Boston Magazine and nominated for a 2004 Boston Music Award. Then came Unfamiliar Moon (2005). "The songwriter's most compelling work; literate, heartfelt, rippling…emotionally resonant songs" raved the Boston Globe, placing the album in its Top 10 CDs of the year (#4). On Angels, Castles, Covers (2006), "Gilbert's choice of an album of covers seems both fitting and fearless. …he displays his vocal virtuosity with some unexpected choices from the late 20th century songbook. From the sounds of Motown, through the R&B of Al Green to classic Joni Mitchell and Shawn Colvin…He makes each and every tune sound fresh and new," writes Roberta Schwartz of FAME.
Gilbert then launched into a year and a half as support for George Carlin, leading up to the creation and recording of Up On Rockfield (2008), a landmark album noted for being written in the styles of some of his favorite songwriters. Of this disk Vintage Guitar proclaimed that "His fervor for composing is as powerful as a Colorado thunderstorm...accomplishing the seemingly impossible...Up On Rockfield should be on your must hear list."
Who else would name their most recent album "Old White Men", and actually have recorded a groundbreaking, heartbreaking title song to back it up? That'd be Vance Gilbert.
This latest release has received raves based solely on the material folks knew would be on it! The soul aching title cut, OLD WHITE MEN, the winsome BOY ON A TRAIN, and the comic tour de force MY BAD are present. The lonesome KING OF THE RAILS will leave a diagonal crease across the listener's heart. DRAGONFLY WINGS is a delightful throwback to 70's pop. NO ONE CAN LOVE YOU LIKE MARY is an all acoustic life story punctuated by Billy Novick's funky saxophones. The maddened rant of HELPLESS MAN is followed by the big hearted NEW YEAR'S EVE AT THE LION'S HEAD HOTEL - HOURLY RATES, a one-sided conversation between a prostitute and a policeman. Vance's original YOU SHOULD BE HERE sounds like a refugee from the Rogers and Hart songbook and is just Vance and a classical guitar. GO and COME HERE MY LOVE are both solo snapshots of breathless points in time. The acapella BRAKEMAN'S SON is a small story of a search for big peace. Eleven killer songs, pared down to their living core, listener ready (OK, there's a buried track. Listen for yourself…). [less...]
On the new CD, Love In the Ruins, Bonnie infuses her barbed lyrics with her own unmistakable vocal style and adds a new fervor for crunchy guitars and incendiary drumming. The sum is ironic, literary, melodic, tragic, wild, honest, joyful music that also flat out ROCKS. Known for years as a keyboardist (she actually toured as a keyboard player/backing vocalist with such arena acts as Belinda Carlisle and Billy Idol), she turned to writing on guitar to stimulate the creative process. Bonnie's personal reinvention is typical of her uncompromising attitude: "I reject the idea that music has to be either smart or kickass---why not both?"
Famed for her kick-out-the-jams live show, Hayes has also enjoyed success as a recording artist and producer. In 1984, her pop/punk debut Good Clean Fun was released on seminal LA indie Slash Records to critical raves and national college airplay and in 1995, the Hayes-produced CD Steppin' Out by the Gospel Hummingbirds was nominated for a Grammy. Her new CD marks a return to center stage for this exceptional songwriter.
Bonnie Hayes is a popular and experienced teacher with an original slant on writing songs that satisfy both artistic and commercial criteria. She teaches classes in various aspects of songwriting and popular music regularly. Her students have won prizes in the John Lennon songwriting contest, the WCSA songwriting contest, the Soulmaking contest, and others. [less...]
Kathy has gathered songs and stories of bravery, pride and grief that further define and describe the life and times of her home place. 2008's Grammy nominated COAL was her first step to discovering this vast and rich genre of music that producer Marty Stuart allowed was "in her blood," taking her back to the lore of family stories and to her place and her people.
Kathy's concerts present her new and most recent material alongside her Top 20 radio hits: from the signature ballad "Where've You Been?" to the bluesy "455 Rocket" to the iconic "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses." Long known as an impeccable songcatcher, her 17 albums are woven through with bluegrass, gospel, and Celtic influences, and have garnered multiple CMA, ACM, and Grammy Awards.
Increasingly in demand as a public speaker, Kathy regularly presents keynotes and educational programs at colleges and civic venues across the country, both as a stand-alone and in conjunction with concert appearances. Her long history of activism has led Kathy to bring public attention to several current environmental issues, including climate change and some mining practices in her native Appalachia. [less...]
He has written more songs than the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Stephen Foster combined—somewhere north of 3,500 compositions. And, he's probably had more than enough collaborators to make it into the Guinness Book of World records—approaching 40,000 and counting (though he's lost count). He's written songs with tens of thousands of children through his Kid Pan Alley project and he's written songs with a bunch of Grammy winning songwriters. Artists including Sissy Spacek, Raul Malo, Darrell Scott, Cracker, Corey Harris, Jesse Winchester and many others have recorded his songs.
He's one of the most popular songwriting teachers in the country and has taught at workshops and songwriting schools including Rocky Mountain Song School, Utah Song School, New Song Academy, Swannanoa Gathering, Augusta Workshop, Hollyhock, Kerrville, NSAI, Songcamp in the Mountains, Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, Berklee College of Music, University of the Pacific, and Moulin á Nef (France). [less...]
From other people's comments about her you learn that she is a natural storyteller with a fantastic sense of humor. But until you see her in person, you never really believe what you've been told about her. Interestingly enough, almost half of the songs she performs during her shows have never been recorded!
Cheryl's first concert was to a captive audience. She found an old toy ukelele in a neighbor's attic and serenaded her mother who was taking a bath at the time. A year later she got a real ukelele, followed by her first guitar. She learned guitar from a neighbor, who also taught a group of boys. Each week they would get together and play just about any song they could think of for hours on end. Her first public performance was at a Hootenanny when she was 12. She started writing her own songs when she was 17.
Cheryl has never had a "day job," and her first professional gigs were at the Steak and Ale Restaurant in her home town of Timonium, Maryland. The place only had one PA system; in the middle of her songs you would hear: "Jones, party of four ... Jones, party of four." She finally convinced them to get a second PA system. She performed at venues around Baltimore and Washington DC before moving to New England in 1976, where she now lives.
She tours extensively, often performing solo or with Kenny White, who often opens her shows as well. She appeared as part of the On a Winter's Night tour, and was part of the Philo 25th Anniversary tour.
Her funny stories between songs reveal her talent for diversity. Each time she tells a story, it will be a little bit different, so even if you've heard it before, you still find yourself laughing. [less...]
Since graduating from Berklee College of Music, Jenn has returned to Montana to continue teaching, performing and community building through music arts education and performance. In 2013 she helped establish the Bitterroot School of Music and is now director. The School focuses on providing a broad range of programs for children, teens, adults and seniors.
"Teaching has been an unexpected revelation. It's a natural extension to my veracious appetite for learning but I never expected it to become such a passion. While at Berklee, I worked one on one with students like myself; challenged by learning in one form or another. I'm truly fascinated by how we all go about it so differently. I'm hooked on discovering learning strategies, sharing ideas and tying it all together to help a student get the most out of the experience." [less...]
In addition to his performing and recording endeavors, Mike is the founder of Access Film Music, an organization dedicated to helping independent recording artists expose their music to directors, producers and music supervisors working in film, television, videogames and advertising. The 14th annual Access Film Music Showcase will take place during Film Festival Week in Park City, Utah January 19 - 29, 2017. Access Film Music is also the Official Music Partner of the ÉCU Film Festival in Paris, France each April where Access showcase events have helped further their mission to connect music-makers with film-makers. More info is online at www.AccessFilmMusic.net.
Mike loves empowering and inspiring musicians to pursue their dreams, and enjoys sharing practical ideas, methods and information to help make them real. He's currently at work on a new album, and hopes to have some new recordings available in time for SongSchool. [less...]
Over the years Mai has also worked closely with many other artists on the road, in the studio, and on screen (Sara Bareilles, Willy Porter, Adam Cohen, Sarah Sample to name a few.) She's appeared on The Tonight Show, Ellen, David Letterman and has had songs placed in Grey's Anatomy and more. In 2010 she released a solo EP "Eclipse" with songs that would garner her awards in the Kerrville New Folk, Telluride Troubadour and Rocky Mountain Songwriting Competitions.
Career accolades aside, what Mai treasures about music is, the transformational practice of songwriting and its ability to nurture Listening and Discovery. In 2007 she came to the Song School for the first time and she said it felt like "coming home." She's been back 7 times, and considers it to be a sacred place of refuge, resource and reinvention. She returns this year to teach for the first time. Her class, which has to do with The Healing Heart of Song, will be informed by her recent journey with Breast Cancer. She says her diagnosis and recovery changed her life –for the better. Who would've known that the darkest year could also be the brightest? She never could have predicted that she'd be at once going through chemo while also opening for Bob Dylan in France. For Mai, that juxtaposition is precisely what she loves about music. As she says, "if we are willing to walk through the dark, we will inevitably stumble into the light." [less...]
First time listeners often are drawn to Garveys engaging performance style, accomplished musicianship, and memorable melodies. But his lyrics project a depth and sincerity that allow the observant listener to find meaning beyond the catchy hook. Meanwhile, the intricate production of his albums adds emotional depth and keeps the songs fresh play after play.
This combination of songwriting and performance strength has earned Garvey numerous awards including being named winner of the Kerrville New Folk, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, SolarFest, Wildflower Art and Music Festival and Maine Songwriters Association songwriting competitions, voted as Most Wanted artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, nominated for Best Male Performer in the New England Music Awards, and a top new singer songwriter by Sirius XM's The Coffeehouse.
On his latest release, Meteors and Beating Hearts, Garvey shows further maturity as a songwriter, addressing personal and universal themes through a series of lyrical stories. Many of the songs were written as assignments for a weekly songwriting group. The challenge of writing a new song each week and presenting it to a group of artists he admires challenged and pushed Garvey to try a new approach to his songwriting.
Garveys interest in music and writing began at a very young age. Both his parents are educators and his father was a songwriter. Growing up in such a musical environment in the artistically rich Northeast, Garvey developed the firm belief that songwriting is a method for bringing community together and a way for people to explore a greater depth within their own lives.
Originally a drummer, he picked up the guitar in his teens, in part because his best friend was better with the sticks and together they could start a rock band. But this rhythmic background remains at the core of his musical style. He merges syncopated bass lines with melodic leads to create a full sound from his acoustic guitar.
The themes of community and living with intention run deep for Garvey, from the musical memories of his youth to his ease in developing relationships with audiences and fellow artists. He builds upon on the energy of live performance to deliver a memorable experience in a way that has led folk stalwarts Vance Gilbert and David Wilcox to proclaim the tradition of acoustic music is in good hands with Connor Garvey. [less...]
Formerly self-taught, JJ completed Berklee College of Music's online performance degree program last year as a drum specialist. She is a instructor, band coach, and workshop facilitator at girls and ladies rock camps across the U.S., and teaches private drum lessons via Skype to students all over the country. This will be her eighth year teaching at song school. [less...]
In November 2014, Arthur joined the Colorado Americana Jam band "Great American Taxi" replacing Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon. Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth produced their new album that is due out in fall 2016. Arthur and lyricist Carol Lee penned five songs on the new ten song album. Drummer Duane Trucks (Widespread Panic, Hard Working Americans) played on the record and also joins them for shows.
In May 2013 Arthur released his 4th album Cracked Open on Perfect Groove Records, offering a groundbreaking style that is driven by the integration of sophisticated musical, emotional and spiritual juxtapositions. "Fresh!.... Arthur has a unique, creative approach in his music." Grammy Award winning producer Bil Vorndik (Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck, Doc Watson)
Arthur's autobiographical song: Good Enough (music and lyrics penned alone) and music video were the feature of a campaign to help raise awareness and money for AbleChild: Parents for Label and Drug Free Education—a nationally recognized non-profit organization dedicated to parents, caregivers and ADD/ADHD children's rights.
Since 2004, Arthur's inspirational and interactive Art of Live-Looping assembly programs and music workshops have reached over 50,000 students in over 25 states across the country. He has been on staff at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Song School at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons CO since 2003. [less...]
As a performing songwriter, John's music has been described as "songs for sinners and everyday angels." Whether you hear stories of growing up on the prairies of the Midwest, of a coffeehouse flirtation, or of the sweet disappointments of love, John's music will leave you with a sense of the depth and mystery of human experience, vibrating with its surprising joys and hidden tragedies
John has performed his music in venues across the U.S., and has toured internationally as a tenor with Mastersingers USA, winners of Best Male Choir at the 2003 International Eisteddfod in Wales. John is an active member of the local D.C. arts scene, as a member of the Americana band After the Flood, and he has served as Music Director for Lean and Hungry Theater's audio productions of Julius Caesar and Oedipus Rex on WAMU public radio in Washington. [less...]
"I began singing classical works quite young, and when I was a teenager my father brought home the Complete Ella Fitzgerald Songbooks. I started exploring jazz and dived into all kinds of genres, always curious about the variety of tones and colors in different voices—including my own. I started attending voice conferences and reading journals, asking 'How does this work? What's the science behind it?' That curiosity has become one of my strengths as a teacher."
"I want my students to have a strong sense of the lyrics and what it is they are saying. Great singers have a connection not only with their instrument, but with their material and their audience. Once they have a vision and the training to produce a range of sounds freely and efficiently, they can express themselves with greater precision and emotion. Knowing the options they have removes some of the fear and guesswork from the process of singing. The answer to fear is knowledge. I live by that."
"One of the best parts about teaching private instruction is building a relationship in which students expand their awareness, are able ask questions, and learn to trust their bodies. There are moments in working with people, not necessarily when they have mastered a skill or completed a task, but when they see new possibilities and paths open for them. That's when the lights go on." [less...]
Mouths of Babes burst onto the acoustic music scene in 2014 with big shoes to fill, and on their debut EP Faith & Fumes they delivered with songs that are equal parts celebration and blues, folk and soul, tear-jerker ballad and irreverent ditty. In just over a year, the duo has become a sought-after act in its own right, headlining some of the best rooms on the circuit, such as the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley and Club Passim in Boston. Known for their poetic and eclectic songwriting, they are alumni of Real Women Real Songs and have taught songwriting workshops at The Old Town School of Folk Music, The Freight & Salvage, Rocky Mountain Song School, and others, and assisted with Dar Williams' "Writing A Song That Matters" retreat.
Mouths of Babes is slated to go back into the studio in 2016 to record its highly anticipated first full-length CD. As a testament to MoB's fan power, the Kickstarter for the new album was wildly successful, drawing almost 800 backers and raising over $56,000 in 30 days. [less...]
Each release since her debut more personal, more crafted, her voice deepening with intimacy and authority. The critics followed with increasing notice. 2009's "The Killer In Me" had NPR likening her to a younger Lucinda. 2013's "How To Sleep In A Stormy Boat," a song cycle conversation with Shakespeare's characters, brought her national recognition with a feature on NPR's "All Things Considered" and acclaim from famed rock critic Dave Marsh.
Her most recent release, 2015's "That Kind Of Girl," was lauded by The New York Times's Jon Pareles and marked her 4th appearance on "Mountain Stage". Judy Collins has recorded her songs, as well as the late Memphis Hall of Fame member Sid Selvidge and other folk and jazz artists. Just recently she released a trio record with Amber Rubarth and UK-based Emily Barker called Applewood Road, which got 5 star reviews in England including The Sunday London Times writing "a flawless set that has to be the most haunting release of the past year".
But all this is not what she had planned. After graduating from Amherst College with a dual degree in English and Theater, she moved to NYC to study acting at The National Shakespeare Conservatory, fully intending on a career as a playwright, director and actress. She spent a few years doing just that: a member of a few classical repertory companies, a founding Artistic Director of Off-Off Broadway's Five Points Theater Company – until a borrowed guitar and a spectacular break up led to her penning her first few songs. It was only a few years later that a demo of hers was brought to the attention of Judy Collins who was in search of talent for a fledgling record label.
Amy has taught performance and songwriting at Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Song School for over a decade and been on staff at The Kerrville Folk Festival Song School, Swannanoa Gathering, Sister's Folk Festival & Americana Academy, Berklee College of Music (Summer Session), her own Songs From The Well Writing Retreats and is honored to work with Songwriting With Soldiers.

We are a multi cat household and constantly had problems with them urinating everywhere. Saw this in a clearance basket at Walmart and decided to try it. Haven't found any urine since. Its a little costly full price but it definitely worked for us.
our cat urinated EVERYWHERE we tried everything. the vet recommended a something like this and we got this one and the urination stopped... we actually ran out and didn't realize it til he started urination again :( off to buy a refill!!
1 of my cats likes to go #2 on the rug in the bathroom and my other cat likes to try and climb walls. I bought 2 of these and they did absolutely NOTHING for either cat. Was a waste of money. I tried to contact the manufacture twice reguarding their product and never heard back from them either time. Poor Product and poor customer service. Dont waste your time or money.
