DAY SEVEN – OCTOBER 19TH: It was WONDERFUL to have a real gym to work out in. I get bored when I have to jog every day without a break to lift weights.. Darryl went over to AFN for an on-air radio interview and then cut some PSA's for AFN-TV. Came back to the hotel for a couple of hours and the maids kept knocking on our doors trying to get us to check out. One guy was sitting in his room in his underwear and obviously scared the little maid so badly when she "walked in on him" that she didn't bother him again. (Photo left: Darryl doing interviews) We went over to get our ID cards and while we were waiting our turn to have photos made, Scotty (Darryl's drummer) grabbed his chest and said he was having pains. Scared us and him pretty bad so we sent him to the emergency room to get checked out. He's a really large boy and we're hoping he's not having heart problems. We're now two hours past our departure time to drive to Camp Walker and no news from him yet. Not sure if they will let him travel the 4-5 hours to Camp Walker and not sure what we will do if it is his heart. Hoping for the best! Just got word that he seemed to check out okay but they wanted to keep him for "observation" and do a stress test tomorrow morning. They put him in ICU and let the other guys visit him. He says he is fine and is ready to get out! We decided to spend the night in Seoul and get up and drive to Camp Walker tomorrow in time to set up for the show. Of course, there were NO rooms left at the Dragon Hill Lodge on base. Our MWR rep found us rooms right off base at the Capital Hotel (Bebe, I can hear you laughing!). I've stayed there many times in the past and it's "okay". However, the last time I stayed there, prostitution had become an "issue". Guys were thrilled about that… We got checked in and I was delighted to see that there weren't any girls hanging out in the lobby this time. But, my room is definitely reminiscent of the Red Light District. Not sure I've ever seen furniture this gaudy….well, okay, maybe in Saddam's palaces! Good news is they do have a DSL line and it's only for one night. Jude
DAY EIGHT – OCTOBER 20TH: Got up early to use the funky little exercise facility at the hotel. I remember it from years ago. It's good equipment but they have those old machines with the "belts" on them that you put around your waist. The belt vibrates and that's supposed to get rid of the fat in the particular area where the belt is positioned. Hate to tell the Koreans, but it's not working! We were supposed to get the results of the drummer's stress test by 9 am but of course we didn't hear anything until almost noon. The doctors were concerned because they had found some enzymes in his tests from the night before that indicated he may have had a heart attack. They gave him the stress test but he was not able to finish it, so they told him he needed to "rest" the remainder of the time we are in Korea and when he gets home, he must see his physician and have the dye run to see if he has blockage. I gave him the option of flying back home today but he wants to just stay and rest. Says he feels fine. He won't be playing drums any time soon though. (Photo right: Banner advertising Darryl's performance) We moved from the hotel back to the base and everyone scattered to find food to take with them on the 5 hour drive up to Taegu. We were sending someone to pick up the drummer from the hospital and got a room for him and Darryl's road manager at the hotel on base. Didn't want to leave him alone and felt like the road manager would be the obvious choice to stay behind since I can do his job for him. As I was walking back to the bus, I heard someone yell my name and it was the drummer in a van on his way to the hotel. I jumped in the back seat and noticed that he still had on a hospital gown! I had this moment of panic that he was going to moon everyone when he exited the vehicle but realized he had his jeans on underneath! Said he couldn't find his shirt. (Photo left: Darryl signing autographs) Drive up to Taegu was pretty scenic but very LONG. Boy, do I miss our helicopter rides of the past. The sound company we hired is excellent and were all set up and waiting for us at Camp Walker. Because we arrived so late, we had to hold the doors until we finished sound check. The musician who is filling in on the drums for the regular drummer is great. Really glad we were able to switch some things around and still make this tour work for the troops. I did have a phone call from an MWR rep who advised that they had a Filipino band that was excellent and we could use their drummer for the rest of the tour. J I had to let him know that it would take a couple of days of rehearsal to use someone else's drummer and we didn't have that kind of time. The General at this base is someone that Chely and I met at the Narita Airport last October as we were leaving from her tour of Korea. I remember that he had just returned from the States where he had knee surgery. He had his wife and 2 kids with him at the show and he definitely remembered meeting me. The show was great – packed gymnasium and a very "lively" crowd. Much different from shows in Iraq and Kuwait where there is no alcohol allowed. One guy came up to the stage to shake Darryl's hand during a song and then tried to yank him off the stage. Darryl caught himself but felt something tear in his knee. He called the guy back up and made him get up on the stage. I was surprised to see so many women and children in the audience. At the majority of the Camps we have visited in Korea, the soldiers are not allowed to bring their families with them. I was told that if they agree to serve for 2 years, they get to bring their families. If it's only a one year tour of duty, then they cannot bring their families. LONG autograph line which lasted for a couple of hours, then an interview with AFN, and finally a very late steak dinner for the band. I had to check email and the computers at the base lodging would not let me log on to AOL. So at midnight, I had to get a ride downtown off base to a cyber café and check my email. Be glad to get back to Seoul where I have a DSL line in my room. Don't think it will be much longer before everywhere is wireless. Will definitely be nice!
DAY NINE – OCTOBER 21ST Nice gym at this rather remote base. We're traveling back to Yongsan today but making a stop in Osan for some "power shopping". (Photo left: Darryl performing for the troops at the DMZ) All of the guys except two wanted to stop and shop, so we split up and sent a couple of them back to the hotel. Even guys who never shop, turn into shopaholics on my tours. We're going to have suits and boots made on Monday – our day off. Got some great bargains today at Osan. Back at the hotel on base which is just the best! Darryl's drummer is doing much better and wants to go with us tomorrow. I'm against it because it's going to be our "hardest" day. We depart early for the DMZ and Darryl does an acoustic performance and meet and greet. We take a tour of the DMZ and then we have a show at Camp Casey tomorrow night and won't be home until around 2 am. I'm also concerned because there would not be any quality medical assistance readily available should something happen to him. It's after 2 am and the electricity keeps going off in the hotel! Guess I'll just go to bed! (Photo right: Darryl and some of his band at the DMZ) Jude
DAY 10 – OCTOBER 22ND: Oh, almost forgot! On Tuesday when we were getting ready to depart for our first show, our coordinator called and said, "I have some more bad news for you". I thought it was something to do with our drummer but it wasn't. She said that she had a family emergency and had to fly back to the states! So, I'm pretty much on my own which is fine. If I can take tours through Iraq on my own, I'm sure I can handle Korea solo! We do have a very nice Korean man from her office – Mr. Wong – accompanying us. Got off to a late start today….another casualty from too much fun the night before. But it was a "non-essential" person. We had a fabulous Air Force Protocol Officer on the bus ride up to the DMZ. I've been doing these DMZ tours once or twice a year since 1992 and I learned things today that I had never heard before. He has really researched the history and was a wealth of knowledge. The one thing that disturbs me the most is the fact that Kim Jong Il appears to be as horrid as Saddam was to his people. Hard to believe the conditions the people of North Korea are living under. (Photo left: Darryl w/ the ROK Soldier) The guys were able to go into the building at the DMZ where they can cross over into North Korea and take photos with our ROK soldiers. I'm beginning to recognize the ROK soldiers that are stationed up there. I wonder if they talk amongst themselves after I leave and say, "There's that woman again! Do you think she's a spy?" J They performed a short acoustic set for the guys stationed at Camp Bonifas at the DMZ. Every thing is being closed at that Camp in preparation for moving the forces farther away from North Korea. No dining facility any more and the troops have to eat MRE's. But today was a special treat as they brought in hamburgers in our honor. Not sure if the soldiers were more excited about the entertainment or the real food. (Photo right: Darryl on the tank) Also took the guys to play the "World's Most Dangerous Golf Course". It's only one hole and located right on the border. The "danger" is the fact that it is surrounded by mine fields. Once you hit a ball towards the green, you certainly don't ever go pick it up! Drove on to Camp Casey where I've done numerous shows and have some great friends over there. Everything is always first class and we had a huge crowd in a gymnasium. The guys were able to go look at and ride in the tanks prior to the show. A real treat for them because they have never been on a military tour before. Our drummer insisted on coming on the trip today and insisted on performing – against doctor's orders. We had an ambulance and paramedic standing by but he did just fine. Long autograph line and late arrival back at the hotel….12:30 am…not as late as I expected though. Don't have to depart to Camp Humphreys until 1 pm tomorrow. Yea!! Jude
DAY 11 – OCTOBER 23RD: Drove up to Area 1 today and knew that the show was going to be outside and COLD! I called the coordinator yesterday to go over everything and make sure he didn't have any questions. Didn't get much out of him and he didn't ask any questions which concerned me. Had a phone call this morning from someone else at the base saying they never received a stage plot and didn't have any risers. By the time the hotel gave me the message and I called him back, they had built the risers. But, this show was the most unorganized of any we have played. I've had entertainers play at this Camp many, many times, and never had a problem. (Photo left: Crown dancing during the show) There was absolute NO security for the stage and the audience had a lot to drink. Enough said? One guy with a huge flag jumped up on the stage in the middle of the show and almost hit Darryl in the head with the flag pole. Several people got too close to the lights and almost pulled them off the stage. Then a group decided to put their cowboy hats on the stage and stop Darryl's performance and ask him to sign them! I begged the coordinator for some MP's but he said they were all "off-duty". He finally gave me one for the stage but we might as well not have had anyone. He stood way back away from the stage and never once stepped forward to control the crowd. Darryl's road manager and I ended up working as "security". I knew the autograph line would be a nightmare but it wasn't as bad as we expected. Did see something unusual on this base that I don't normally see in the Military. There were two very large, very, very unattractive women in the line – not to be rude, but these women were pretty frightening. It was freezing cold and one had on shorts and sandals, too. Really long, greasy looking hair that had bad dye jobs. After they got their autographs, we were told that 2 years ago, they were men. They had gone to Bangkok for a sex change. One of them was retired Air Force. And, at last night's show, there were two guys dancing together. I mean, doing spins and dips. Never have seen that on a base…have seen lots of girls dancing together but never two guys. We had an hour to kill between sound check and dinner and we went over to the Base Exchange. That's where I realized that I had left my passport and ID card in my little holder in the room. I jogged this morning and had slipped it on so just in case I ran off the base. Thankfully, they didn't check it when we came onto the base. I was thinking about hiding in the luggage compartment of the van when we went back to the base in Seoul! There was this little gadget in the Exchange that took still photos, videos, was a voice recorder, and an MP3 player. It was the size of a small cell phone and the price was only $280. I think we're all going to buy one at the Exchange in Seoul on Monday – our day off. The show was great even with all the security problems. I sat in the van to watch most of it because my feet were frozen. Borrowed a big coat from one of the musicians on stage, but was still freezing. The autograph line lasted about 2 hours and I was definitely frozen by the time it ended. Tomorrow we drive up to Camp Red Cloud. Know that one is organized because it's the same people who handled last night's performance. Jude
DAY 12 – OCTOBER 24TH: Went to the great gym in this hotel today. Sure is nice to be back on "schedule" with my jogging and working out. Makes a huge difference in how I feel all day long. We had two Protocol Officers accompany us today and one was a female navigator for a C-130. Very cool talking to her about all my trips on C-130's. It was supposed to be an hour and one-half bus ride to Camp Red Cloud but we hit "traffic" and it took over two hours. The base had a great lunch waiting for us and there were these cool black cloth placemats with the Commanding General logo on them. I knew everyone was going to try and sneak one out, so I just asked if we could each have one and the base was nice enough to comply. We went to a flag football game for a few minutes to watch the soldiers from that Camp playing against another Camp. Then we were given the "bunker" tour. Civilians are rarely allowed inside the bunkers because of security concerns. We were given a really interesting briefing and allowed to look at a couple of areas that reminded me of the "War Room" at the Pentagon. After sound check and just prior to the show, we met with a Major General and his wife and a Brigadier General. They all attended the show, which was held outside. Today's event was very well-organized because it was handled by the same people who handled our show at Camp Casey. I have been working with them for almost ten years now and know that everything will be first class when they are involved. There was a huge, very appreciative audience and I think that because of the "presence" of the two Generals, no one drank too much or got loud an obnoxious. Because it was getting cold and dark, the autograph session was held inside at a Sports Bar on base. The Camp is trying to "upgrade" the bar and make it more appealing to the local soldiers. Their biggest competition is prostitution outside the gate in the local nightclubs. I've been helping them secure some autographed items to hang on the walls. At the end of the show, they had purchased a guitar and wanted Darryl to play one song on it and then autograph it for them to put in the club. Instead Darryl gave them the guitar he was playing on this tour! (Photo right: Darryl and a fan) The guys had started drinking Shoju very early on in the afternoon. They kept talking about how it didn't have hardly any alcohol in it and they couldn't even tell they were drinking. Some of the soldiers kept warning them that the effects would sneak up on them. It did and it was not a pretty sight. I have no problem with them having a few drinks and having a good time. But when it gets out of hand and someone I've been working with for 10 years is offended and my chances of bringing more entertainment to the troops over here is jeopardized, then I am not happy. To make matters worse, the Sargeant Major of the base was drunker than anyone else and kept encouraging everyone to drink more. Not a very good "role model" for his troops. Several of his guys came up and apologized to me! Had a very hard time getting everyone on the bus and back to the hotel. Hopefully, they are sleeping it off now but somehow I doubt it. I have a feeling I'll be getting a phone call soon about the "noise". Going to bed because I have a lot of shopping to do tomorrow…our only day off. Jude
DAY 13 – OCTOBER 25TH: Up early to work out in the great gym here and then hit the shops. Took a taxi over and since the fare was only $1.50, I gave the taxi driver $4.00. He looked at me and said, "Oh, you very photogenic. Like a model". How about that for a cheap way to get a compliment? Met up with some of the guys and showed them where to have suits made and purchase copy bags and watches, etc. I know my tailor friend was happy to see me. I had a long list of items to pick up for other people, so I spent most of the day shopping. My copy bag shop had moved to a new, hidden location! Had to follow a little man down a couple of streets, then up some stairs and behind a solid black glass door. The bags were awesome…very good quality…but much higher than last year. None were under $100 this time. I took all my purchases including a new, large coin rack for all my military coins to a little stand and a man "made" boxes for me and wrapped everything. I took everything to the base post office and shipped it back to myself via regular U.S. postage…..great way to avoid the high cost of paying excess baggage fees to fly it home. The tailor even gave me a ride from his shop back to the base with my two large boxes! Darryl and some of his guys were going to a traditional Korean restaurant for dinner but I didn't go because I needed to work. We all met at the tailor shop and Darryl then decided to have a suit made as well! Now I'm doing laundry, answering emails and trying to get packed. Last show tomorrow. Jude
DAY 14 – OCTOBER 26TH: Last "jogging" day in Korea and it was beautiful weather…just a bit cold! Our Protocol Officer took the guys out to a local restaurant last night and then on to a nightclub. Some of them were still up partying at 8 am this morning! I took a couple of the guys over to Itaewon for one last hour of shopping. I made one mad dash for "copy bags" but was disappointed because the "underground shopping" is closed on Tuesdays! I was also disappointed that Darryl hadn't taken full advantage of the "shopping". But I saw him in Itaewon and he had ordered 2 suits, some shirts, and a full-length cashmere coat plus was ordering a tuxedo from my tailor. Felt much better. I met him in a store with the coolest shoes I've seen since Switzerland. He was buying for his family and I wasn't able to find ONE pair in my size. Hate all these small feet on the little Korean women! Took a couple of the guys to Pack and Wrap and then to the Post Office to ship things home. Darryl had several plaques that had to be shipped and we were hoping he wouldn't get another really large one at tonight's show! Sound check went smoothly and we finished early for once. Then went to dinner and I met up with my dear friends – John and Yong Kyun Downie. Have worked with John since the early 90's! He mentioned that they need an artist who is willing to perform on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve and, of course, I can't say "no", so I've begun the search. (Photo right: Darryl with John and Kyun Downie) Last show was just as awesome as the first. The most amazing part of the show for me is watching the faces of the men and women in the audience when Darryl sings "Have You Forgotten". Keep in mind that the average age of the soldiers serving here is between 19 and 26! You can see in their faces and expressions that they know exactly why they are serving in Korea and why we are fighting in Iraq. It's a very moving experience to see these young people with such firm convictions about our need to fight the war on terrorism. It's after midnight and I have to get up at 4 am. Flying back home in just a few hours! Jude
DAY 15, OCTOBER 27TH Glad I changed the departure time to one hour earlier. Had another "casualty" this morning, so we actually left 30 minutes later than I anticipated. No problem checking in as a "group" at the airport but a long line to get through security. Food on the flight from Korea was HORRIBLE, as usual. Never eat anything when LEAVING Korea on an airplane. Learned that a long time ago. Landed in Narita and was a little concerned about all the recent earthquakes, but no problems. When we boarded the flight for Detroit, we were upstairs again. My computer case doesn't fit in the tiny overhead compartments upstairs and the flight attendants always allow me to store it in the closet in the back. When I asked, the flight attendant was rude and argumentative…is it just ME??? She said NO ONE was ever allowed to put any items back there. Boy, I must really be getting senile! Seems to me I have been doing this for 10 years. But, I didn't want to cause problems, so I improvised. Darryl got on and said that he overheard a man talking to the flight attendant downstairs telling her to watch "him" because he had flown over with us and he had "caused problems". Thought it was going to be a LONG flight. Wasn't too bad. The flight attendant that was rude to me was nice to Darryl and the one that was rude to Darryl was nice to me. I didn't give them any "goodies" though…they weren't that nice. Landed in Detroit and it took forever to collect the luggage/gear, clear customs, and get to our departure gate….only to learn that there was a mechanical problem and the flight was delayed at least an hour. Every time I think I'm going to get home in the early afternoon, something happens and I never get home until late evening. We did depart about an hour and a half after the scheduled time. Arrived Nashville with all our luggage and equipment. Home for about 3 weeks. Yippeee! Jude

Examples Of Humor Devices
This is an example of verbal irony: "I had told them that I should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. These orders were sufficient; I well knew, to insure their immediate disappearance, one and all, as soon as my back turned"
If you do no know what verbal Irony is, it is a device in which one means does not match what one says.
Humor Devices
The next type of humor device is Situational Irony: I found this example in a book called Gym Candy by Carl Dueker: the main character named Mick Johnson was wanting to be a football player like his father when he grew up and he was having a hard time with strength and he was a good kid until he got addicted to steroids.
If you do not know what situational irony is, It is a device in which what one expects to happen does not actually occur.
Humor Devices
.The third one is my favorite which is sarcasm: This example is a personal experience. My sister and I were in Publix and my mother asked her to get some vegetables and we were right next to the vegetables but she did not know that and she went all the way across the store and when she passes me I said hay Miranda you missed the produce and she said thank you Sargent sarcasm.
If you do not know what sarcasm is, It is when you say something to try to be funny but in a rude way.
Humor Devices
Here is a funny type of Humor Devices and its called a Pun: The best way to communicate with a fish is to drop them a line.
A pun is a play on word based on the similarity of sound between two words with different meanings.

  Things Got Ya Down?Well Then, Consider These . . In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 am , regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the super natural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 am Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents. The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11:00 am all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits. Just when the clock struc k 11:00 , Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper , entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner. Still Having a Bad Day???? The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez Oil spill in <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Alaska</st1:state></st1lace> was $80,000.00. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both. Still think you are having a Bad Day???? A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman. Are Ya OK Now? - No? Two animal rights defenders were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Bonn</st1:city> , <st1:country-region w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region></st1lace> . Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two helpless protesters were trampled to death. What?!? STILL having a Bad Day???? Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with 'Return to Sender' stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits. God is Good! There now, Feeling Better?<o></o> <o></o>

This is a question that seems to come up quite often, so here are my thoughts and some recommendations for mixing with headphones. First thing is that it is OK to mix with headphones. Lots of great albums have been mixed on headphones and you can get a professional sound. For many DIY musicians and home studio engineers, the mixing room is not always optimal for sound. A decent pair of headphones will give you a more accurate presentation of your mix.
Now here is a main factor to consider, the quality of your headphones really does matter. Not all headphones are created equal. Some headphones are designed specifically for the studio and others are designed for listening and playback. So how do you know what is the difference between headphones? Most studio headphones actually put on the packaging that they are studio headphones. But words don't necessarily mean that you will get the quality needed to mix properly. It is always advisable to listen to a pair of headphones before you commit to buying them. I don't recommend buying headphones because of the name brand or because someone famous endorses them. Companies are in the business of selling their product, so you can't just take their word or reputation for granted.
I've owned lots of different headphones over the years and some are good for recording, some good for mixing, and some good for listening and enjoyment. Every pair of headphones I've owned have had their own strengths and weaknesses. It just takes time for you to get used to sound your headphones provide so that you can be productive in your mixing choices. If mixing with headphones is the route that you plan to take for your post-production, I'd suggest getting a decent pair of headphones. Many of the headphones in the $99 - $199 price range will give you a decent representation of your mix. Let me give you my experience with a few different models that are out on the market.
When I was starting out, I used Sennheiser HD280headphones for recording and mixing. They were good for both applications, but over time, I felt that they didn't translate the music accurately to other sound systems. I did like the dynamics of these headphones and felt like they were great for mixing rock music. When I tried to work on a hip hop album, the bass never felt right in the headphones and it was difficult to get the right sound on other systems. They are also poorly designed because the connection wire is easily severed if the ear cup is rotated too far. You always see DJs holding one ear pad to their head while mixing, so I had clients that tried to do the same thing. Then they complained that the sound was missing in one ear. After a while, I noticed the connection cable was inside the joint of the ear pad and it had been severed by the rotation. The ones that didn't get broken started to show wear quickly. This was not desirable for me to try and keep up the studio image. It was too easy to break these headphones and they couldn't stand up to regular use in the studio, so I abandoned them all together.
I moved on to a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro studio headphones. I was initially impressed with the comfort, quality, and sound of these headphones. I demoed a pair at a local pro audio shop and a few minutes later walked out with a brand new pair for the studio. Now these are a bit more price-wise, but you get quite a bit for your money. The large ear pads are extremely comfortable and they don't squish your ears against your head. This was a huge plus right off the bat for me. For $199, I felt like I purchased a quality pair of headphones that would give me many great hours of recording and mixing. I used these headphones for about 2 years and mixed some of my favorite albums with them. Yet as the years went by, I started to be a little more critical of my mixing and felt that these headphones were not giving me enough detail on the high-end. This was frustrating, so I went back to search for a new pair of headphones. However, I do still use these headphones for recording and mixing from time to time. I still like the comfort and the relaxed feel they provide.
After some research and field testing of some different headphones, I decided to go with the Shure SRH840 professional studio headphones. There are a few reasons I chose this pair of headphones and I still feel like these are the right pair for most studio applications. The ability to easily replace the ear cushions and the cable are big advantages over the old HD 280 headphones, so I'm already a little happier. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The sound quality of these headphones is transparent and dynamic. The drums that I've mixed with these headphones are crisp and punchy without being too muddy or boomy. I've also been able to get a better vocal balance in my mixes with these headphones. Having a good vocal balance can really make or break a song. You have to have faith in your headphones to give you a clear representation of your mix. To be able to trust your ears and rely on your headphones is crucial. These headphones are comfortable for short periods of time, but a long studio session can be rude to your ears and neck. These headphones are a little heavier than some other pairs I own and I notice that my neck can get cranky if I rock the headphones for too long. Overall, these are the best pair of headphones that I could find under $200.
If you want more info on any of these headphones, I recommend that you contact Joe Secu at Sweetwater: 1-800-222-4700 x1232
Now one thing to keep in mind is that I don't solely use headphones to work on my mixes. I also use the studio monitors, but I regularly check my mixes with headphones. I recommend taking regular breaks if you are using headphones. Give your ears some time to recover and unwind from the constant noise that is only inches from the eardrum. These are just a few of the headphones that I own and/or have used in my career as a musician and producer. There are so many options out there and manufacturers keep improving on the designs, but I stand by my original statement that you need to go out and actually put the headphones on and listen to them for yourself.
Sometimes it is good to use earbuds to check your mix. You may be asking yourself, "Why would I use earbuds to check my mix?" Well, good question. The main reason is that your mix will most likely be heard on earbuds by the majority of listeners. Mobile music is the new trend and everyone has earbuds with their phones and MP3 players. So get in the game and make sure you are covering all your bases. Here is a great article about the best earbud options available for under $100: 2KReviews Best Earbuds of 2017
I did just purchase a pair of the Focal Spirit Professional headphones as a personal pair for my own listening enjoyment. I haven't had enough time to evaluate them, but my first impression is that they are on par with the BOSE noise-cancelling headphones. The ear cushions are quite snug and I don't know if I would use them for mixing. When I have more experience with them, I'll post my thoughts.

I stayed here a couple of years ago. It's an amazing property and the diving is unbelievable. On the downside, it's not so child friendly.
Walindi is in a great spot within Kimbe Bay, with ocean views and all the comforts of a modern hotel. You could almost call it a hidden oasis, perched in a sheltered bay and surrounded by tropical rainforest.
To be honest, the quality of this place came a little unexpected. When I first arrived in Papua New Guinea I thought it would be underdeveloped and the accommodation on the basic or rough side of things, but this place was awesome!
The staff are full of smiles and really helpful, and although the resort itself was built for divers, there are plenty of other activities available, including bird watching, hiking, kayaking, snorkelling and guided village tours. But most importantly for a guy like me, there were comfy bungalows, wifi internet access, mobile reception and fantastic food.
When you do as much as I do during the day, good food and a cosy bed are all important…plus, being able to email mum and tell her I'm still alive and having the adventure of a lifetime keeps me in the good books for when I eventually find my way home.
Getting to Walindi Resort is a short flight from Port Moresby to Hoskins airport, West New Britain. While Walindi Resort has much to offer tourist of all types, the primary attraction for visitors are the spectacular diving, pristine reefs and amazing marine life.

Johannesburg - Businessman Wilson Mkhari has claimed that his home was blown up because he is suing the Limpopo government for R100m, City Press reported on Sunday.
Mkhari launched the lawsuit after losing a lucrative housing contract to construction company owner Steve Bosch, an ally of Julius Malema, according to the weekly.
He told the newspaper he found the house on fire last Sunday. His garage and three cars were destroyed.
Mkhari said the house was fire-bombed by intruders who scaled a two metre-high electric fence.
Mkhari has been blacklisted from doing business with the government until 2020, for poor performance, but told City Press, the claims of poor performance had not been proved.
Having a relationship thats like a house on fire is not so hot when it's to do with the Limpopo government.
If this guy's claims are true, South Africa is beyond the point of turning back, on a very slippery slope without brakes strait into the Africa cesspool.
Yuuuuurrra... all of these douche bags want a hundred million. is there no-one in the cANCer that hasnt stolen R100 million or about to...what a bunch of corrupt pigs!
It doesn't add up.
The wheel turns , sometimes you have to be a robin hood , take from the rich and give to the poor . In this case , take all from the corrupt rich
The Limpopo Govt is like a MAFIA - kinda everything the useless ANC-pf has too much control over turns out this way !!!!

Does the DCEU need saving? That's what the critics (most of whom slammed Batman v Superman, wrongly, and Suicide Squad, perhaps rightly) would have you believe. The fact that Squad will total out with around $700m further highlights the large gulf between fans and critics, but ultimately it would be nice if DC made a movie which was universally considered something special sooner or later — and if it's going to happen, there are a few of DC's finest heroes who'll probably be the ones in the middle of the action.
Without further ado, I present to you the 8 heroes (and villains) with the power and the sheer charisma to "save" — or rather, transform — the DCEU.
You might wonder if Arthur Curry, the man who talks to fish, could possibly be as important to the DCEU as his better-loved Justice League contemporaries, Batman and Superman. Having existed in the pages of DC Comics for almost as long as those guys (debuting in 1941), it's taken Curry 75 years to reach the big screen in live action form — but that gives Jason Momoa the perfect opportunity to put his own stamp on a character who has often been taken less than seriously by casual comic book fans.
In stark contrast with the handsome blond hero of the comics, Momoa's Aquaman appears to be an altogether different kind of beast — more of a battle-scarred warrior with little appetite for talk.
His banter with Batman is the highlight of the first Justice League trailer, but it's Momoa's immense physical prowess which will differentiate him from the Justice League, and justify his place in it. Most importantly to the wider DCEU, Aquaman's solo movie will take us down beneath the surface of the ocean to the mythical city of Atlantis, which has the potential on a visual level to leave the dull urban landscapes of Gotham and Metropolis in the dust.
If James Wan does the business here, Aquaman could become a huge audience favorite, and perhaps crucially, Marvel has no even remotely comparable character in the MCU, with Namor unlikely to appear any time soon.
Hardly the most left-field choice, considering the entire DCEU to date has literally been built around Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader, but the fact remains that Batman is the DC hero with the biggest mass audience appeal. Why is the Bat so enduringly popular? Maybe it's because his status as the heir to a huge fortune meant Bruce could have sat back and enjoyed a life of easy luxury, but instead chooses to invest his time looking out for those who need protection from the vast gallery of villains who prowl the Gotham's grimy alleys. Maybe it's because he counters his lack of actual powers with epic gadgetry and genius detective work. Or perhaps it's just because his costume is so badass (except that time he got a zebra makeover).
Whatever the reason, the reaction to Batman v Superman indicates that Batfleck could be the most popular screen incarnation of the character yet — just as long as he he gives his trigger finger a break, tones down the sadism and focuses on doing some good sleuth work. That side of his persona appears to be at the fore in Justice League, as Bruce squares up to the looming threat of Darkseid. With a well-characterized, well-acted Batman at the wheel of the Batmobile, and Ben Affleck in the director's chair for his solo movie, all the pieces of the puzzle should fall into place, allowing Batman to reign supreme in his playground.
For more DCEU madness:
- 'Dark Universe' To 'The Batman': Here's Every DCEU Movie On The Way
- 'Justice League': Superman Has His Curl, But Where's The Black Suit?
- The Awesome DC Easter Egg In The 'Suicide Squad' Mid-Credits Scene
John Constantine is less than half as old as the likes of Superman in DC Comics, having only been created in 1985 as a supporting character in Saga of the Swamp Thing #37, but as the saying goes, "age ain't nothin' but a number." The short-lived TV series Constantine, starring Matt Ryan as the trenchcoat-adorned, chainsmoking detective, did a lot to raise the Englishman's profile outside of comic book circles, and the announcement of Dark Universe feels like the perfect moment for Constantine to "do a Harley Quinn" and make his name known to a wider audience.
Why would he be the breakout character of Dark Universe? John Constantine is not just a detective and a master conman, but he dabbles in a realm that's totally alien to the likes of Batman: the occult. His vast knowledge of the world of magic (and ability to practice it during combat, when strictly necessary) renders him resistant to telepathy, hynposis and possession, and Constantine has frequently used his quick wit and the ability to create his own luck to fight off enemies and demons far more powerful than himself. What other character in the DCEU has that kind of skillset? As Marvel tap into the mystical with Doctor Strange, DC's own, cooler, edgier master of the supernatural could be great if done right. Don't screw this up, guys.
It's often said that a comic book movie is only as great as its villain, and it's easy to argue that Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman or even Marvel's Captain America: Civil War would have been better movies if they'd had a more memorable bad guy to tear our heroes apart. But DC has a phenomenal rogues gallery to choose from, and none is more terrifying than the frequent Superman and Justice League adversary Darkseid, the New God from the planet Apokolips. Darkseid is essentially Hitler, if Hitler was built like a rock, had the ability to teleport through space and time, resurrect the dead, move planets or assume mind control over entire civilizations.
The deleted scene 'Communion' from Batman v Superman suggested a vengeful Lex Luthor had summoned Darkseid when we saw the billionaire communicating with the big bad's deputy, Steppenwolf — likely to be the primary villain of Justice League —from the ruins of the Krypton ship. Darkseid often sends Steppenwolf to do his dirty work for him — but if Wonder Woman and friends are successful in killing him, the big man himself will have no choice but to visit Earth in the Justice League sequel. With Marvel lining up Thanos for Infinity War, it's essential that DC has a villain whose powers and ambitions are similarly epic in scale. Done right, and given powers as vast as those he possesses in the comics, Darkseid could be spectacular.
Slade Wilson is coming to terrorize Batman. Pitting the Dark Knight against one of the most ruthless mercenaries in DC Comics feels like an instant recipe for the Ben Affleck-directed The Batman to deliver some truly epic fight scenes. One thing Nolan's trilogy never got right was the Bat's skill for hand-to-hand combat, something Snyder dived a little deeper into in Batman v Superman with a couple of really great set pieces such as that unforgettable warehouse fight. You know the one:
But we need more. Deathstroke — whose similarities with Marvel's Deadpool both in real name, superhero alias and profession are no coincidence — has the kind of mind-bending skillset which could genuinely be the death of the Caped Crusader, raising the stakes of The Batman far beyond the silliness of Dawn of Justice.
The fact that Deathstroke isn't even technically a villain, but an anti-hero who doesn't blink at the prospect of bloodshed, serves to make him a fascinating choice as the antagonist of Batman's solo movie. This move would reaffirm once again that the DCEU really isn't especially interested in the idea of straight-up heroes v. traditional bad guys. If Affleck stays faithful to the comics and showcases Deathstroke's epic abilities — tactical genius, master martial artist, superhuman reflexes and endurance, and that vast, Batman-rivalling arsenal of high-tech weaponry — the assassin could become the new gold standard for hyper-brutal superhero movie villainy. Triangle, bitch.
Harley Quinn
Yeah, I know. It almost feels too obvious to include Harley in this list, especially when she was the clear scene-stealer of Suicide Squad. But Harley was, arguably, too restricted by that movie's confusion about what it wanted to be (its bad guys weren't really bad guys) to truly embrace her full potential. Ideally, Harley needs to exist independently of the Joker, as a wise-cracking, mentally-imbalanced troublemaker with the freedom to go full-on bad if that's where the story takes her.
Suicide Squad has turned Margot Robbie into a bonafide A-lister, and she deserves a DC movie as good as the character she inhabits. Even among all the chaos of David Ayer's movie, little moments like the scene in which Harley sits on top of an abandoned car, removes her puddin' necklace and cries, before slapping on a smile for Deadshot and the gang, hint at deeper layers still to be revealed.
Between Constantine and Darkseid, Harley and Deathstroke, Batman and Aquaman, the stage is set for the DCEU to be fully transformed into something truly special. It's in your hands now, DC.
Which heroes or villains are you most stoked to see come to life in the DCEU?

From 1988 to 2013, I have bought over at least close to $100,000 of Roland product. My favorite music stores are Sam Ash, Guitar Center and sweetwater.com. I've come to love the RolandED PC300. Finally 2009-10-27 Win7 x64 bit driver available! Who wrote the damn driver! How long do I have to wait for the driver to be installed. My computer has been on for the last two days and it still says wait. This is my 12th attempt!
I need an honest answer from the creator of Roland - if he or she or it still alive, I don't care! You've got some goodies product but you've got some sleazy support. As a good old time loyal customer, I deserve to treat with the respect. How could you kept your loyal customer hung like that?

Can the police search your cell phone without a warrant?
A recent federal appeal's court recently ruled that a search of the defendant's cell phone, without a warrant, for the purpose of recovering its phone number, did not violate the defendant's constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The case involved the arrest of a defendant on criminal drug charges in a federal prosecution for distribution of methamphetamine. The case was built on an undercover controlled purchase arranged through a co-defendant.
Law enforcement agents seized three cell phones from the truck that one of the defendants used to transport and supply the meth. After arresting one of the defendants, the government conducted a search without a warrant of the three cell phones. The search was conducted to determine the telephone number associated with each mobile phone.
As a result of finding the telephone numbers, the government subpoenaed cell phone records containing historical calling activity among the phones and used it as evidence supporting the conspiracy.
The court determined that it was impractical for law enforcement to "traipse" around with digital forensics hardware, and that remote wiping capabilities create an exigency that excludes cell phone searches from the protection under the Fourth Amendment prohibiting searches without a warrant. The court went on to find that searching for a subscriber's cell phone number is ministerial and nonintrusive, and therefore, not rising to the level that requires a warrant.
Questions arise as a result of this decision. What if the recent calls directory on the cell phone contains the user's telephone number on the screen of the telephone, but a text message from the suspect's physician or attorney pops up when the search is being conducted? What if the number searched is virtual and used for incoming calls such as Google Voice requiring an online password for access? What about GPS data and the fact that the government is required to have a warrant before accessing it?
The law is changing and evolving along with today's technology. There will be a point in the future when society will have to determine whether cell phones, per se, are extensions of the individual, and therefore deserving of the same constitutional protections that citizens enjoy in their use of traditional landlines.

Hm... very strange. The flashes are independent, they don't communicate other than by their photo cells. So it's correct that the other gets triggered by the impulse of the one you push the button.
Anyway, pressing the "open" (test) button on the flash trips a flash, no matter of any setting. Don't get me wrong, are you absolutely sure that the second flash fires by triggering the other?-- hide signature --
cheers, Peter
Lets Call One light A and other Light B. When I turn on A&B, and I press the test button on the remote, both A & B flashes. When I turn off A, and press the test button, I hear B go off like its flashing but no flash. When I turn B off and leave A on, A would flash fine. I checked to make sure both light have same setting. I even turn them both off and tried it another day, and just turn only B on first and no flash, just the sound as if it is flashing. Then I turn A on with B on and both A & B flashes. Very strange....

Welcome to My SWAG Page
Ingress SWAG
Ingress has definately impacted my life in many ways. As a proud Enlightened Player I wanted to have something to start a conversation with to explain the game. One of the responsibilities of a Level 8+ Players is to search out or recruit Players to help "level up" in the game. I have helped my fair share. I wanted something to give them as a sort of real life achievement. Thus, the Level 8 Medallion was born. I couldn't afford to buy all 250 myself so I bought what I could afford and shared the remaining 150 to my fellow Enlightened Teammates on my local Community Page. What happened next In still have trouble believing, instead of finishing out my 150 and completing the order, With just a few re-Shares later I sold 1,363 in 13 different countries. My lack of expectations and experience was equaled only by the patience of the people who were my learning base! I'd like to say I broke even on the first run, but I turned out to be lousy at pricing international shipping. But Everyone loved them and I was asked to do a Resistance Medallion as well. I got better at shipping and the orders went out without a hitch (well… maybe one). Everyone has been so supportive and I have tried to keep the costs as low as I can to provide quality SWAG at low prices. Keep the support coming and I will hold up my end as well… Below is a few links to a few current and past projects.
I've made a few price adjustments along the way the most recent one is including the shipping in the price break. Someone asked me if the prices doubled, so I feel I should explain why I did that. The postage is based on weight, so the more you get, the more it costs to ship. PayPal offers a flat rate shipping option. So basically, I couldn't efficiently charge properly for shipping. This way I know the weight of the items being shipped and can be accurate with the fee, giving you the best price possible. I've also added higher quantities so the various Communities can gather orders and purchase in one order and save. That said, I hope you all enjoy you Ingress Goodies.

Mumbai, April 18: Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Anil Kumble - three legends of the game in the same side - Mumbai Indians (MI). But still the team cannot manage a win so far in the Indian Premier League 2015 (IPL 8).
IPL Special; Points Table
Despite the presence of this legendary trio, MI have failed to lift their game. Last night was another forgettable day at office as they were thrashed by two-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Apart from Tendulkar, Ponting and Kumble, MI also have South African fielding great Jonty Rhodes and New Zealander Shane Bond (bowling coach) in support staff. Tendulkar is the "icon" of the side while Kumble is part of the owners group and Ponting is the head coach.
With so much depth of knowledge, MI players are still struggling in the current edition. They are at the bottom of the Points Table with 4 straight defeats. All three former cricketers watched in disappointment as CSK won by 6 wickets at Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
During yesterday's match, coach Ponting was seen delivering a long lecture to his players. The Australian was very animated during the strategic time-out of CSK innings.
Some of the TV commentators questioned as to why Ponting was talking to the team when captain Rohit Sharma should have been doing that.
However, Ponting's tough talk was nothing wrong at all. He is one of the greats of the game and his voice is respected. He, like Tendulkar and Kumble can inspire any team. But it has not happened till now with this current MI outfit.
One of the main reasons for MI's slump is their bowling ace Lasith Malinga's poor form. Many feel he has lost his old touch. So far in 4 games he is not the same as in previous years.
Though he has 4 wickets, his economy is 8 plus. Bowling department has failed to click. Only Malinga and Harbhajan Singh (5 wickets) have the bulk of wickets with others nothing much to show.
One more worry for MI is the opening combination. All 4 matches so far have seen the first-wicket partnership not doing much. Looking at this many fans felt Tendulkar-Ponting combination would still be better.
Former India captain and Mumbai man Ravi Shastri, when asked about why MI is failing despite the legends in the dug-out, he mentioned of the intimidating factor.
According to Shastri, some of the young players might have been intimidated by the presence of so many big stars.
Intimidating or not, cricket is played by 11 individuals who are on the field and the support staff can only guide.
It is time for Rohit and his men to be inspired by Tendulkar, Ponting and Kumble.

Oil hit reverse gear on Monday, mirroring sliding stock markets, as investors turned pessimistic over eurozone attempts to produce a definitive solution to the region's debt crisis, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in November, handed back 34 cents to $86.55 a barrel.
Brent North Sea crude for delivery in December shed $1.17 to $111.06 per barrel, after earlier climbing as high as $113.86 on initial optimism after a weekend gathering of G20 finance ministers.
European stocks also fell on Monday, reversing earlier gains, after Germany warned against undue enthusiasm that a quick solution to the eurozone debt crisis would emerge from an EU summit next weekend on October 23.
Germany sought to dampen expectations for Sunday's European Union summit in Brussels, with government spokesman Stefan Seibert warning that "dreams that everything will be resolved and dealt with by next Monday cannot be fulfilled."
Wall Street shares also tumbled Monday, taking their lead from the European markets' reaction, as investors concluded that the G20 finance meeting in Paris had produced no definitive solution.
Europe vowed to its G20 partners on Saturday that it would take swift and decisive action to resolve a debt crisis that is threatening to drag the world economy back into recession.
Investors are now eagerly awaiting this weekend's summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
"It is quite a crucial week for the markets," said Sucden analyst Myto Sokou.
"Investors should remain cautious ahead of (a) vote in Greek parliament on Thursday with various government members thought to disapprove of the proposed austerity measures.
"However, the main focus will switch to the European leaders summit in Brussels on October 23, for the decision on a comprehensive plan to contain the crisis in the region."
Crude futures had also risen strongly on Friday as confidence grew that the G20 would put muscle into the eurozone rescue and US data showed signs of firming growth.
The gloomy US economic climate lifted a tad on Sunday when key Republican leader Eric Cantor said a congressional supercommittee would reach agreement on $1.5 trillion in government spending cuts by a November 23 deadline.
If a deal is reached before then, the United States can avoid triggering an automatic $1.2 trillion in cuts evenly distributed between military and non-military spending, which Pentagon officials warn would damage US interests.
The discussions had taken place under the shadow of a repeat of political stonewalling by the Republicans, who earlier in the year withdrew from talks with Democrats on lifting the US debt ceiling.

In the Garden
In the next bed which is quite a bit shadier I have started with my purples and put in a purple Penta and a couple of white Petunias.
It's really hot out there so I have retired to the house. Not much housework gets done when I work in the garden, but I need to get a little bit done before I exercise.
8 comments:
It looks great; you've worked so hard. I'm sure you will enjoy this beautiful flower garden in the coming months. Pat xxReplyDelete
Looking good, looking good! You picked some beautiful stock. Now's the time for some ice tea ...ReplyDelete
This looks so lovely !ReplyDelete
cheers, parsnip
That's going to be beautiful. I love carnations for their smell. Reminds me of my grandma who had a lot of them in her garden, and of the corsages I got for dances as a teenager!ReplyDelete
In the last picture are the pink flowers Penta? they are so beautiful..ReplyDelete
You found some wonderful flowers for your gardens! Everything looks lovely. Love your blog banner painting, too :) xx KReplyDelete
It looks good now, as the season progresses it will look brilliant.ReplyDelete
I wish I had your energy.

Udupi: A house belonging to Manjunath Shenoy at Kinnimulki near the welcome arch was gutted in fire on Tuesday March 22.
Manjunath had lighted a lamp in his prayer room and had gone to visit the Marigudi Temple in Kaup at 1.00 PM. At around 1.30 PM, his neighbours informed him that his house had caught fire, they also informed the Fire and Emergency services.
The two fire engines rushed to the spot and doused the fire after battling for nearly one hour.
The lamp lighted in prayer room is said to have caused the fire to spread to the entire house. The loss has been estimated at Rs. 2 lakh.

|Between the pumps at Flo's V8 Cafe.
Saturday, August 15, 2015
A Nighttime Fill Up
This scene below is paired with a couple of similar shots I featured six month ago. The gas station pumps at Flo's V8 Cafe make for some great subjects. Their sleek, classic shapes and the cool canopy above emphasize sort of a classic mid-century look, but romanticized and fantasized. The bright lighting keeps the ambiance lively and welcoming, and the abundance of lines provide a medley of angles for photographers. Is it any wonder why I enjoy photographing this place so much?

Luck always plays a big part in angling, but for Aylesbury rod Scott Shepherd it was key to the capture of this impressive 5lb 8oz perch.
Fishing a local reservoir the 35-year-old arrived at dawn, getting a few hours on the bank before work. Presenting double red maggot hookbait on a maggot feeder setup at 60yards, the IT Test Analyst didn't have a touch - until he was packing up to go home.
"I'd packed everything up and was just reaching for one of my rods after switching the alarms off when the swinger dropped. I thought I must have knocked the rod, but I hit it and had a fish on," Scott told AT.
"Half way in I got locked up solid in a weed bed to the point where I was pulling for a break when it came free. When I saw it in the net I couldn't believe I'd actually caught the fish, it could so easily have never been."
Scott beat his fish using a size 14hook with a 4lb hook length and 8lb mainline.

German luxury sportscar maker Porsche is putting up for sale a Bavarian castle snapped up for six million euros ($8 million) in 2006, a spokesman for the manufacturer of the iconic 911 car said on Sunday.
"We are parting company with this estate," the spokesman told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAS), after the paper said Porsche was selling Schloss Bullachberg, near the famous Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria.
Porsche had purchased the castle five years ago, under previous boss Wendelin Wiedeking, hoping to transform the 180,000-square-metre (1.9-million-square-feet), building into a luxury hotel.
But the required renovation work never got going, the FAS wrote.
The carmaker has built up massive debts as it looked to seal a tie-up with Volkswagen, Europe's biggest car manufacturer.
However, in August, Porsche said it had booked a first-half net profit of 149 million euros, bouncing back from heavy losses.

Microfluidics recently emerged with the potential to fulfill many technological gaps as they possess the ability to produce three-dimensional architectures with controlled spatial relationships between cells, the presence of flow-induced signaling and transduction, and the introduction of chemical gradients necessary to mimic the architecture of the in vivo microenvironment. The integration of tissue engineering (TE) strategies with microfluidic technologies has sparked a breakthrough into the design of in vitro microfluidic culture models that better adapt to morphological changes in tissue structure and function over time, providing a level of precision control that could not be achieved before. Because experiments are run on the micro-scale, small amounts of reagents and cells are needed making it more economic and faster. This technology revolution can be adapted to multiplexed and high throughput assays. These 3D TE in vitro models can potentially comprise multiple tissues and micro-organs obtained by tissue re-cellularization or scaffolding strategies, allowing a deeper understanding of biology processes at multiscales. In the last few years, our group has significantly impact the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine by means of strengthening research within the interdisciplinar domains of 3D tissue engineered in vitro models to be used as alternative to animal experimentation and for human health. The developed 3D tissue engineered in vitro models have also possibly investigating nanoparticles internalization by diferent cell types. In conclusion, microfluidics systems show great value in the development of 3D tissue engineered in vitro models mimicking the in vivo conditions, which can accelerate the research achievements in a wide range of fields including neurosciences.}, keywords = {Biomaterials, Brain, Stem cells}, url = {http://glowbrain.hiim.hr/index.php/en/final-conference/call-for-papers}, author = {Oliveira, J.

Axbridge Singers
The Axbridge Singers is an open access community choir for anyone who enjoys singing. We do not hold auditions, and members are not required to read music or have any previous experience: only enthusiasm and a willingness to 'have a go'.
Based in Axbridge, our members come from across the local area, from Cheddar and Draycott to Winscombe, Churchill and Blagdon.
The choir sings unaccompanied, in four-part harmony. The songbook includes music from far and wide - from popular, to folk, to gospel, to show tunes, in languages from English to Basque and even Russian!
The choir performs regularly in the local area, at concerts, care homes and town events, and also takes part in regional singing festivals in Bristol and Stourhead. The choir has raised money for a number of charities.
All members are warmly invited to come for a drink at the Lamb Inn in the Square after rehearsals, and the choir also arranges occasional social get-togethers.
The Axbridge Singers are led by Musical Director Stella Moore.

Our Recent Events
Joint Concert - June 2017
On Saturday June 24th, Axbridge Singers together with Cheddar Valley Voices created a 'joint' concert raising awareness and funds for Arthritis Research UK.
The concert took place in the Church of St John the Baptist in Axbridge. It was unique in that it brought together choirs of all age groups from these neighbouring towns. Each choir performed a variety of their own songs from a range of genres, then all came together for renditions of 'I Sing', 'Great Day', 'Tue Tue', 'Something Inside So Strong' and a finale of 'Dem Bones' following the arthiritis theme.
We were joined by Adrian Williams of Arthritis Research UK who gave an informative talk highlighting the work of the charity and the extent of the illnesses it aims to help. We are very pleased to announce that the evening managed to raise a grand total of £635.98.
Thanks you to all who participated in the choirs, those who helped with setting up of the event (and who ran the much appreciated bar on the night!) and of course all those who came along to support us and this worthy cause. To see the full photo gallery from the night please click here.

April 2017 Axbridge Singers visit Cantagarrigue in Languedoc, France
In April we visited our fantastic French counterpart, Cantagarrigue.
We had a great time and they were fantastic hosts. There was lots of laughter, fun and games and impromptu singing in the stunning La Grotte de Clamouse. We shared a lovely joint concert in the pretty Aniane Church and the weekend culminated in an evening of traditional music from the Languedoc region.
We look forward to welcoming them in the not too distant future!
A Busy Singing Weekend! March 2017
On Saturday 25th April 2017, we took part in the popular event called 'The Clash of the Choirs' at Wedmore Church, which involves choirs of all shapes, sizes and ages from the local area. This was the 5th Clash, which is held to raise funds for the church. And the church was packed out! It was an enjoyable evening, with a good, upbeat and appreciative atmosphere for all who sang. It was well organized, and interesting to hear such varied choirs. Our performance went well: we sang And So It Goes, Santo and Keep you in Peace. There was a lovely quiet moment when we had finished Santo.
Sunday 26th April 2017 was the Big Sing at St. George's. Despite it being Mother's Day, we had another good turnout of support from the Singers, and I think everyone enjoyed the day – tiring though it always is! What a splendid place to perform…..we sang Blues gan OOT(!) of the fashion, and And So It Goes. It all went well – and was worth everybody's hard work.
I think we did ourselves proud at both events – thanks to you all!!

If you have more photos from the weekend please could you email them to Sue Martin (Click to email!)
Christmas Greetings from Cantagarrigue - our French partner choir!
Choir leader Francoise Gomez said: "Tous les choristes de CANTAGARRIGUE et moi-même vous adressons nos meilleurs voeux pour une année 2017 pleine de beaux moments musicaux dans le partage et la joie!" which thanks to the aid of Google translate reads "All the singers of CANTAGARRIGUE and I send you our best wishes for a year 2017 full of beautiful musical moments in sharing and joy!"

Day 10
Posted: Sun, Aug 7, 2016
Location: Muskmelon Bay, Guana Island
Today was the most fun day yet! Annie, Jake and Emma had been at a staff meeting during breakfast, so we were left to our own devices while cooking. Luckily, we succeeded in not sinking the boat, and they were welcomed back to an absolute delicious breakfast of pancakes of different varieties- banana, plain and Oreo! Random, but so delicious! After our meal, we sailed from Marina Cay, where we had spent the last night, to Trellis Bay. In Trellis Bay, we went on shore for a couple hours and shopped, ate lunch, and called our parents. After purchasing several million packages of Oreos and Chips Ahoy and Nutella, we returned to the boat. As soon as we began sailing away, we were exposed to the beauty of our surroundings. The water was so clear, and the sky was so blue, and there were cliffs on our sides. It was impossible not to be amazed! We sailed around for a few hours just taking our time and practicing tacking, jibing, and adjusting our jib and mainsail for different points of sail. Eventually we reached Muskmelon Bay, where we'll be anchoring tonight and tomorrow night. We showered and began a dinner of chili, rice and salad. Partway through our meal, things took a turn for the weird. Spencer had begun talking about what kind of food he would be. Apparently, the answer, or answers as it were, was either a pickle, a fruit cake, or a three bean salad! This struck us all as incredibly hilarious, and subsequently we all laughed for the next half hour. Just the fact that he had put so much thought into it and it was so specific was enough to send us all spiraling into never ending rounds of laughter, which honestly hasnt yet ended even as I write this! What a perfect end to a perfect day!

Kate sat on the bus with a music therapist who jawed with her a bit. She told about an assignment she had in college- to choose 10 songs that defined your life. Kate was intrigued. So far she picked two.
I had a much harder time, which intrigues the hell out of me. I am usually a sucker for a meme or a FaceBook quiz, but I admit this one has me stumped. Not the soundtrack that runs in my head- that would be way too easy- but a song that defines a period in my life, how I felt or behaved. Kate kindly pointed out that the chick who shared this nugget was probably 21 and at that age, you probably CAN define yourself in 10 songs. Three decades beyond that, it's more of a stretch.
I thought about songs that played repetitively on the radio/stereo in different phases of my life. Unlike the soundtrack in my head, this would be the soundtrack of the world around me as I lived my life. But the world doesn't define me. It shapes my reactions sometimes but it does not define me.
I need to think about this some more.
Kate figured that if I was having such a hard time with five decades, my Dad's nine decades would be interesting, so she posed the question to Hank.
Without skipping a beat, he replied "They're Coming To Take Me Away"...

Azerbaijan vs Norway 11/16/2014 Euro2016 Qualifier Preview, Odds and Prediction
Norway vs Azerbaijan
Sunday 16th November 2014 17:00(GMT)
The Line: Azerbaijan 4/1 Draw 5/2 Norway 17/20 See the Latest Odds
TV: Sky Sports; Fox Sports
Azerbaijan have proven to be a tough team to beat at home and Norway will face a big test on Sunday evening when they travel to Azerbaijan for a key Euro2016 qualifier. Norway have won two from three in qualifying their only loss coming against Italy which to be fair is to be expected. While Norway may be more famous for skiing and ice skating there are some great young players playing with Norway and moving to the best leagues in the world with Daeli plying his trade at Cardiff one of the new generation of Norway starlets. This is a tough game for the visitors as although Norway are expected to win Azerbaijan do not concede too many and have proven to be capable of springing the occasional shock in qualifying.
Dimitri Nazarov and Aliyez would look to be the main threat forAzerbaijan going forward, indeed the former is plying his trade in Germany with Karsruher and is attracting attention from some Bundesliga clubs. As with many of the minnows in Euro qualifying Azerbaijan have a solid defence and will be hoping to frustrate Norway with solid defence and hit them on the counter when the opportunity arises.
USA TODAY Sports
What should be a lowscoring affair may be decided by a solitary goal. All five of Azerbaijan's home games in World cup Qualifying was under 2.5 goals, four of the last five have also been under. I think this could very well end up as a draw but I like the under more, the draw is a decent value price at 5/2 but I like the unders just a tad more.

Lack of free on-street parking is criticised
The lack of free on street parking during Christmas week caused major confusion resulting in traffic wardens adopting a more lenient approach last week.
At the December meeting of Wexford Borough District Cllr George Lawlor said that there should have been free on street parking this year as in previous years adding it had caused untold confusion for shoppers.
He said that while parking was free during the week in council car parks many people weren't aware that it didn't extend to the streets. 'I think it was an error on our behalf', he said.
Cllr Lawlor said that while he appreciated that the decision had been taken to keep Wexford in line with Gorey, Enniscorthy and New Ross but said that he didn't think that was an acceptable reason.
He said that numerous shoppers had received parking tickets particularly in the first half of the week because they believed that on street parking was free as in previous years.
Neil White from Restorapic said he had been under the impression that street parking was free in Wexford this year in the lead up to Christmas as in previous weeks.
'I went down the town on Tuesday and though all the council car parks and on street parking was free. I parked up on Grogan's Road and checked a number of other cars there and they didn't have tickets on them either so I assumed it was free to park on the street.
'I went down the town to get a coffee and then I read in the paper that it was only council car parks that were free so I hightailed it back up to my car. Luckily I hadn't received a ticket but I had been gone for less than half an hour.
'I would have stayed longer in town if I hadn't read in the paper that I could be ticketed where I was parked. I went back home then and ddin't bother coming back down the town that day.
'I hope that the council will give some leeway to people who were under the impression that on street parking was free again this year.
At the meeting District manager Angela Laffan said that the members can review the parking situation next year but said previously people working in the town centre had parked on the street which didn't free up any spaces for shoppers defeating the purpose of the initiative.
However last Friday Cllr Lawlor said he had been heartened to hear that the council had instructed traffic wardens to take a more lenient approach to those parking on the street without a ticket during the lead up to Christmas.
'Because the matter had been highlighted last week I believe the wardens were told to adopt a more relaxed approach during Christmas week. I appluaed the council for taking the complaints on board and addressing them.
'I had received a number of complaints on Monday about it and there had been a lot of uproar on social media but this quietened off in the following days because of the relaxed approach being adopted by the council once they realised the confusion that was out among shoppers.'
Last Friday CEO of Wexford Chamber of Commerce said that she hadn't received any complaints from chamber members about the lack of free on street parking.

What type of clock do you use in your homes? Do you prefer traditional round clock hanging on your wall or the bulky digital clock placed right beside your bed? Imagine you slept in and got late for an important meeting. Your wall clock was stuck as you forgot to put new cells or maybe your digital clock was dysfunctional making that eight look like a six. In the current busy life, even adding "buy clock cells" to your to-do list seems a lot of work to do.
Boston based company, Twelve24, has brought to you a hassle free digital clock named as ClockONE. This digital clock is light weight, thin like a piece of laminated paper, has a one year battery life and can easily hang on the wall.
The new feature for the clock is that instead of using LED display, this clock will use Electronic ink (E-ink) which is normally used in e-book readers such kindle, nook etc. And for a good reason too! E-ink display requires an ultra low power since no backlighting is being used. It can display both images and black & white text. In addition, it offers a crisp paper like theme to the clock.
