Cool Off with Caution This Summer
Swimming is among the most enjoyable and beneficial physical activities in a child's life, but can also be a very dangerous one. As the start of the summer is around the corner, it is important to know and follow rules to ensure water safety.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about ten people die from unintentional drowning each day. Of these, two will be children aged 14 or young. Additionally, drowning is the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury death for people of all ages, and is the second leading cause of death for children between the ages of five and nine.
For every child who dies from drowning, another four received emergency department care for nonfatal submission injuries. Nonfatal drowning can cause brain damage that may result in long-term disabilities including memory problems, learning disabilities, and permanent loss of basic functions.
"Drowning can happen quickly and quietly anywhere there is water. As the start of the summer is almost here and families are preparing for trips to the pool and beach vacations, the Y urges families to be vigilant as they head toward the water this season," said Dana Collins, Executive Director of the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties.
In recognition of the summer season and May being National Water Safety Month, the Y offers important safety tips for all ages:
- Designate a "water-watcher" during swim time. Never leave a child alone near a pool, spa, bathtub, toilet, bucket or any standing water in which a child's nose or mouth may be submerged, even if a lifeguard is on duty. It only takes one inch of water to cover a child's mouth and nose potentially cause drowning. In the time it takes to cross a room or pool deck for a towel, a child can slip silently under the surface of the water, even while wearing a floating device.
- Be prepared in case of emergency. It's important to take the time to learn life-saving skills like CPR, and to have a phone handy in the pool area. The Y offers First Aid, CPR & AED training, as well as Lifeguard certification courses.
- Educate others about pool safety. Adults present when a child drowns are often distracted in some way. Talk to babysitters and other caregivers about appropriate pool behavior. If you own a pool, make sure neighbors, relatives and friends know and abide by the rules.
- Don't play games underwater. While they seem fun at first, activities that require you to hold your breath can result in loss of consciousness.
- Maintain appropriate lifesaving equipment. Keep a life preserver and rope in the pool area, hanging from the fence so they are accessible but not in the way.
- Safeguard pool area for children. Keep pool gates locked and all furniture away from fence to ensure a child can't climb over. Make sure to use gates that are self-closing and self-latching. When inside the pool area, keep toys at a safe distance from the edge of the pool.
- Avoid entrapment. Suction from a pool's drain is so powerful it can trap an adult underwater. Make sure drains are in working order and replace any missing or broken drain covers.
- Never dive into above ground pools. They are too shallow, as are most in-ground pools as well. Always be aware of the depth before jumping in.
- Learn to swim. The Y, America's Favorite Swim Instructor, has been teaching children, as early as six months old, and adults to swim for more than 100 years. The Y's pools are equipped for people with special needs and include chair lifts to assist swimmers into and out of the water.
The YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties offers swim lessons at the Mt. Laurel YMCA, Burlington-Riverfront YMCA and at off-site locations in Lumberton, Sicklerville and Voorhees for children ages 6 months and up including:
- Parent/Child Classes - Ages 6 months – 3 years
- Preschool Classes - Ages 3 – 5 years
- Youth Classes - Ages 6 – 12 years
- Teen/Adult - Ages 13 years and up
Learning to swim at the YMCA is more than just stroke development, techniques and skills. Classes are divided into skill levels and trained instructors emphasize personal safety, swimming skills, endurance and social skills while guiding students with praise and encouragement.
"Safe swimming saves lives. It is a life skill that all children should have the chance to learn. It is our duty as parents and guardians to protect our children and that includes diligence in and around water. We need to ensure that we are water smart," said Collins. "When kids learn to swim, they respect and enjoy the water and they are proactive with water safety."
This summer, the Y will offer two convenient summer sessions. Summer 1 Session runs June 23 through July 27 with registration beginning June 9 for full facility members, June 16 for program members and June 19 for non-members. Summer 2 Session runs July 28 through August 24 with registration beginning July 14 for facility members, July 21 for program members and July 24 for non-members.
For more information on swim lessons and all summer programming offered by the Y, please call the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties at 856.231.9622 or visit www.ymca-bc.org.About the Y

ARDMORE, OK -- Ardmore's out-going high school principal has decided that he will reapply for the job, according to his attorney.
Principal Kim Holland turned in his letter of resignation in November, and the superintendent accepted it last month.
Recently however, he wrote another letter asking for the resignation to be withdrawn.
More than 200 people were on hand at this week's school board meeting as a show of support for the popular principal.
However the board turned down the appeal to rescind the resignation, citing board policy.
Holland's attorney Glen Burns says the application will be turned in early next week.

Even as Wall Street firms and grain markets crashed, ag bankers at their annual meeting in November were long-term optimists about agriculture, though concerned about how current events could affect related industries like ethanol.
Agriculture can't escape the national economic blaze, warned Michael Swanson, Wells Fargo chief economist. "This is the worst we've seen it in three decades, and ag isn't immune. We are in a recession, which typically last three to five quarters. Long-term, I'm bullish on agriculture. Productivity and technology don't stand still. How do we get from the short term to the long term?"
Even in the long term, he believes, there will still be some instability. "We're going to see more economic volatility and the real cost of money get more expensive," he explained at the gathering. "People will pay less for assets. Do you think land is immune to that? I don't think so."
World currency markets could impact agriculture as well, Swanson said. "You can import Brazilian ethanol and make money, even paying your tariff on it," he said.
"In the long term, productivity and technology allow us to do more R&D," Swanson said. "That will drive growth for food, energy and other things."
False economy. Dave Kohl, ag and applied economics professor emeritus at Virginia Tech University, sees big changes in how people live. "Here's what I see coming: an extended period of economic moderation where we will see volatility at the extremes. But we're going to have periods of calm. It will make us reprioritize our business, family and personal decisions. For the past 25 years, we've been living off the wealth effect, off paper money," he said.
"I think what we have here is recession light. The typical recession lasts 11 months," Kohl said. "I see it more like the recessions of 1973–1974 and 1980–1981: stagflation in the short run and deflation in the long run."
Interest rates concern Kohl most. "Debt is being financed by more foreign capital. Should China, Canada and Germany decide to keep their money home, is that going to continue to put us in bad shape?"
Consolidation. Mark Lakers, president of Ag and Food Associates, an Omaha, Neb., middle-market merger and acquisitions investment bank, anticipates rapid ethanol consolidation, with companies owning plants with less debt buying the mostly newer but more debt-ridden facilities. They will get good deals, Lakers said, with 50-million-gallon yearly capacity plants selling for as little as $1.50/gal. By comparison, new-plant construction cost $2.20/gal.

Marvel and IMAX Give Fans Worldwide an Amazing First Look at Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!!!
Never have I thought I'd be so excited to see a Marvel movie. It's not my thing, I'm not a super hero or comic fan, but Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has me hooked and I can't WAIT to see it!
If you're lucky enough to have an IMAX theater close to you, you'll be able to get a first look of Guardians of the Galaxy in 3D on July 7th at 7 P.M.
Guardians of the Galaxy IMAX 3D First Look will show fans 17 minutes of exclusive footage of the movie in IMAX theater's across North America.
Select IMAX 3D® theaters nationwide and internationally will offer the special screening of thrilling, never-before-seen IMAX 3D footage of the James Gunn-directed epic space adventure, which opens in U.S. theaters on August 1.
Commenting on the exclusive footage, director James Gunn says, "We've re-mastered some of our epic sequences into the IMAX 3D format, taking the scope and scale to new heights while creating a truly immersive, cinematic experience that will take you further into the Marvel Universe than ever before."
"IMAX and Marvel fans are some of the most die-hard in the world and we're excited to offer them this exclusive extended first-look at one of the summer's hottest upcoming movies in IMAX 3D," said Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment. "James Gunn's visionary film in IMAX 3D is going to give our audiences an immersive experience they won't find anywhere else, and we're thrilled to get the ball rolling and reward fans early at this unique event."
Tickets to the July 7 Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy": An IMAX 3D First Look are free and are available now for U.S. and Canadian screenings on a first-come, first-served basis through www.facebook.com/guardiansofthegalaxy.
Fans who attend this sneak peek will also receive a limited-edition collectible Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" IMAX poster.
An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy's fate in the balance.
Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy," which first appeared in comic books in Marvel Super-Heroes, Issue #18 (Jan. 1969), stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot, Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Nova Prime and Benicio Del Toro as The Collector.
Kevin Feige, p.g.a., is the producer and Louis D'Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Jeremy Latcham, Nik Korda and Stan Lee serve as executive producers. James Gunn and Nicole Perlman wrote the screenplay.

Camels, Lemurs and Bunnies Oh My!
Schools Out and it's summer time, so instead of sitting around the house, hearing "I'm Bored" all day, GET OUT and enjoy the fresh air, the warm sun, and your children!
There's so many things to do in and around the Toledo area. I've been trying to find multiple different things to do with the girls through the summer months, and we've been on some sort of adventure OUT of the house almost every day.
The newest place we discovered was a short drive (and I mean short, literally 16 minutes from my house) to Michigan. The Indian Creek Petting Zoo. My girls aren't toddlers anymore, so we need something more than just petting goats, at 8 and 10 they want a little more adventure and as animal lovers the Indian Creek Petting Zoo was the perfect place for them. This unique walk thru zoo offers camel rides and an up close and personal look at animals such as Zebra's, Camels, Emus, Wallabies, Lemurs, Donkeys, Horses, Goats Alpacas, Guinea Hens, Sheep, Peacocks and more!!!
We got to feed lemurs, camels, bunnies, we got to pet zebra's, wallaby's and take photos of peacocks and a Coatimundi. We spent a few hours there, and had so much fun. Definitely a place we will be back to, in fact, I think the next time we're there, we will be purchasing a family membership ($50 for two adults and up to 4 children) which gives you special discounts, as well as invites to special member's only events, and of course your unlimited admission to the petting zoo.
The Indian Creek Petting Zoo is located at 2740 Consear Road (between Secor & Douglas) in Lambertville, Michigan and can be found on Facebook as well as their upcoming website indiancreekpettingzoo.com. Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for children, a small basket of food is just $3 and more than enough to feed all the animals.

Layered with white chocolate and studded with sprinkles and M&M's, our pretzel treats add flare to any party spread. Cover a baking sheet with waxed paper. Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in a medium, heat-safe bowl according to the package directions. Use a spoon to drizzle 1 pretzel rod at a time with chocolate (you'll have enough chocolate to make a dozen), then lay the rod on the prepared sheet and scatter it with red and blue sprinkles and M&M's. Chill the pretzels in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets, about 15 minutes.
Red, white, and cool cubes
Tricolored spritzers offer a refreshing way to celebrate the Fourth. Make several trays of ice cubes with beverages colored red, white, and blue (we used cranberry juice, water, and Powerade Mountain Berry Blast). To serve, place the cubes in separate buckets and let guests make their own drinks with plain seltzer.
Freeze Pop Sabers:
Feel the force of ice-cold refreshment—and keep hands unfrozen—with these felt cozies. For each, cut a 3- by 4-inch rectangle from gray felt. Fold it over a freeze pop and use fabric glue to seal the side and bottom edges. Clamp the fabric closed with binder clips or clothespins, if needed. Slip the felt off the pop. Glue on stripes and dots of black and colored felt. When your pop is frozen and the glue is dry, you're ready to battle the heat!

ScoreBig Is Your Source For Those Hard To Find Tickets!
If your a parent you know how it is when there's that newest boy band coming to town for a concert, those tickets are a MUST HAVE for your kids. My house is no exception, however, I really refuse to pay concert ticket prices for an 8 and 10 year old to go see the latest boy band. As much as my youngest daughter wanted to see her favorite group One Direction, even if I wanted to get her tickets, at this point, both shows in Detroit were sold out, and she wasn't going, which made her very sad.
However, there was a saving grace in our life where I could …. ScoreBig!
ScoreBig allows you to search for the latest concert, sporting event and more in your local area and you can name your own price for your tickets. That One Direction concert, if I don't want to pay more than $50 a ticket, I don't have to, I get to name my own price and make an offer if there are tickets available.
ScoreBig is easy to use, you simply search for your area and see what's available right now. If it's a baseball game your looking for, you can search through the sports tickets available, and if you're like me and it's a One Direction ticket your on the hunt for, simply check out the music tickets available.
I was amazed that I actually could find One Direction tickets available, and there were a few options of tickets that I could choose from. You can purchase tickets based on the seating area, and/or price point you'd like. I found tickets for $53 available, being that my daughter is 8 there's not a whole lot of expectations on seating for her, she's just happy to go, so at this price point, this was in upper level seating which was fine with me. I hit the quantity of tickets that I wanted to purchase, and was lucky that 2 were available, I then 'offered' my price of $50 per ticket. ScoreBig will then tell you the chances of getting your tickets for that price. Next, you'll put in your credit card information (which is not charged if your offer isn't accepted).
Before I found this most recent offer, I had tried a few times before for higher priced tickets, still offering $50 a piece, and did get rejected, my credit card was NEVER charged, however, this time I got lucky and my offer of $50 ($100 total) was accepted!!! I was now going to be the best mom ever and take my daughter to her very first concert to see her favorite guys ever!
I found out my offer was accepted in a timely manner, (really it was almost instant) and I got a surprise of a discount where my tickets came out to be even less than what I had offered, which was a welcome surprise.
Once my credit card was charged, I got an email confirmation about my ticket purchase and a few days later, my tickets were in hand, Fedex delivered them right to my home.
What I also love about ScoreBig is that there were NO additional fees on my tickets! I wanted to spend $100, that's all I spent, in fact, I even spent less!
I'll be using ScoreBig for a few more concerts this summer I'm sure, I love how it works, and how I can pick what I want to pay for the concert without fees and hassles.
See what tickets you can score by visiting ScoreBig.com or follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
I was provided with a code to use on ScoreBig in return for my honest review, all opinions are of my own. Please see my disclosure policy for more info.

Bail lowered for two of three Peterborough home-invasion suspects

JAFFREY - Two of the three teens accused of a Christmas Eve burglary in Peterborough had their bail lowered at a probable cause hearing Monday in 8th Circuit Court, Jaffrey District Division.
The three - Dylan Cadorette, 17, of Bennington; Austin Cadorette, 18, of Antrim; and Isaac Lyons, 17, also of Antrim - are accused of forcing their way into a basement-level bedroom at 39 Lounsbury Lane in Peterborough at 4:30 a.m. on Christmas Eve, with one brandishing a shotgun at a 17-year-old teen who was hit in the head.
The three were arrested Christmas Eve and appeared in the 8th Circuit Court, Jaffrey District Division, Monday for probable cause hearings.
Public defender Robert Swales represented Dylan Cadorette and argued the prosecution's evidence depended on the identification of the suspects made by the victim, whom Swales said was not credible.
Peterborough Police Prosecutor Vint Boggis objected when Swales asked him if the 17-year-old victim had a prior criminal record or was under investigation by the state Attorney General's Drug Task Force.
Boggis would say only that the 17-year-old victim was known to him, and the victim to his knowledge does not have an adult criminal history. When asked if police had ever responded to the victim's home before, he said police had responded to the home in the past for domestic situations.
Boggis said he was working an overtime shift as a patrol officer the morning of the burglary. When he arrived, he found a large amount of blood in the victim's basement bedroom. The victim lives in the home with his parents and younger brother.
"He had blood all over. His face was probably half covered in blood. Streaming out of his hair, dripping out of his face and mouth and all over his shirt," Boggis said.
The victim told Boggis the men said, "We want your money. We want your money," Boggis recounted in court.
The victim identified one of the three home invaders as Dylan Cadorette. The victim said he was shown what he thought was a shot gun, and he said Cadorette pulled it open to show ammunition in the chamber.
"Mr. Dylan Cadorette took the shot gun and hit him repeatedly on the head," Boggis said. Though their faces were partially covered by T-shirts, the victim recognized the burglars, he said.
When the victim called the three home invaders by name, they fled, Boggis said.
"He said he knows these people very well. He recognized their faces by the part of the faces he could see. He recognized them by their voices," Boggis said.
Boggis said when the three teens were found at a Bennington home hours after the reported burglary, they had blood on their clothes.
Boggis said three long guns were found in the same room the three teens had been in at that home: two rifles and a shot gun. Boggis said blood, fingerprint and DNA evidence was taken from the crime scene, but the results of those tests would not be available for some time.
"There is very little to connect my client to this incident," Swales said.
Judge L. Phillips Runyon disagreed, saying there was enough evidence to move forward, and he bound the felony charge over to the Hillsborough County Superior Court in Manchester.
Swales argued for a lower bail from the $50,000 cash that had been set for all three suspects.
He said Dylan Cadorette has no prior criminal record, has lived in the area his entire life, graduated early from ConVal High School last year, and has a job pouring concrete foundations.
Boggis argued against lower bail, saying this was a disturbing, violent crime. He added additional charges are being investigated.
Runyon did lower the bail to $10,000 cash only, not giving Swales the $10,000 cash surety bail he had asked for.
Austin Cadorette waived his right to a probable cause hearing, and his charge was bound over to superior court.
After his attorney argued for lower bail, Runyon lowered the bail from $50,000 cash to $10,000 cash.
Issac Lyons asked for an extension, and his probable cause hearing was moved to Jan. 22 in the 8th Circuit Court, Jaffrey District Division.

We use Oportunidades, a conditional cash transfer to women, to show that standard demand models do not represent the sample's behavior: Oportunidades increases eligible households' food budget shares, despite food being a necessity; demand for food and high-protein food changes over time only in treatment areas; the treatment effects on food and high-protein food consumption are larger than the prediction from the Engel curves at baseline; and the curves do not change in eligible households with high baseline bargaining power for the transfer recipient. Thus, handing transfers to women is a likely determinant of the observed nutritional changes. (JEL D12, H23, J16, O12)

Legendary rock opera to thrill Azerbaijanis
10 February 2014 [11:35] -
The legendary rock-opera "Juno and Avos" will thrill its Azerbaijani audience by giving a concert in Baku on May 3.
Baku Heydar Aliyev Palace will host the show to be performed by the Theatre of Alexey Rybnikov, composer, People's Artist of Russia and laureate of the State Prize of Russia.
The most famous rock opera on the Russian stage was held by composer Alexey Rybnikov and poet Andrei Voznesensky.
The Stage Director of the opera is Alexander Rykhlov, one of best directors of musical theater in Moscow, known for his work in theater, television and live programs.
Vocal of the rock opera was directed by Russian honored artist Jana Rozdestvenskaya, the first performer of the major parties in the rock operas by Rybnikov and performer of many hits of the Soviet cinema.
Stunning choreography staged by Jana Shmakova adds brightness to the performance.
The rock opera by Rybnikov has already been staged in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, France, and Israel.
"Juno and Avos" is a sad love story based on real life of a Russian traveler and diplomat graph Nikolai Rezanov who promoted the project of Russian colonization of Alaska and California and daughter of a Spanish colonist Conchita Arguello.
Big disparity in years and long distance prevent lovers from being happy together. Rezanov left America to achieve a permission to marry Catholic Conchita, however, he died near Krasnoyarsk, without gaining it. Conchita waited for him for about 35 years, and then retired to a cloister.
The opera was first staged in the Lenkom Theatre, Moscow, in 1981, directed by Mark Zakharov, with Soviet famous actors Nikolai Karachentsov and Elena Shanina in main roles.

The city of Rotterdam used to be a small fishing village during the 13th century. Because of its strategic location, it slowly became a highly industrialized city. Today, Rotterdam is the second biggest city in Netherlands, only next to Amsterdam. In this city, you will find Europe's most interesting architecture since it is the home of the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut or the Netherlands Architecture Institute. The school itself is an impressive architecture that attracts tourists every weekend. Rotterdam also has another impressive structure called the Euromast. This 600 foot tower can give you a bird's eye view of Rotterdam. But it's not all modern architecture. The Museum Het Schielandshuis is a 17th century structure that was converted into a museum. Inside, you'll see impressive collections of art as well as documents relating to Dutch history.
The hotels in Rotterdam also mimic the structural beauty of the city. Even in its discount hotels, Rotterdam is greatly represented by their impressive designs. You can see their designs in most online reservations on offer at EasyToBook.com. For budget travelers in Rotterdam, cheap hotels are usually found a little bit outside the city center. Although a little bit far, these Rotterdam hotels provide the same service at a lesser price.

The Archdiocese of Seattle says it won't rehire a gay vice principal who was encouraged to leave a Catholic high school after school officials learned he had married his same-sex partner.
Students and parents protesting the departure of Mark Zmuda turned in a petition with more than 30,000 signatures yesterday seeking the return of the popular vice principal to Eastside Catholic High School in Sammamish.
The archdiocese responded with a statement saying they stand by their decision.
In a letter to parents, the archdiocese said that all employees of the private school are required to sign an agreement that their public behaviors would at all times be consistent with the values and teachings of the Catholic Church.

Fantastic, comfortable, quiet and very helpful staff. Bargain price even for Valentine's weekend. Fairly close to Metro station for easy access to central Madrid. - Ian
The Staff was excellent! I would recommend this hotel to anyone! The hotel is 2 blocks from the Plaza de Toros and the Ventas Metro station making all of Madrid easily accessible . - Robert

Everything was fine -- it was very clean and pleasant. - Jessica
It is a very excellent hotel for money. I was very surprised to see the hotel rooms. I recommend all the travelers - Nayoung
Although it was far from the center of the city, the metro stop was right outside the door of the hotel, so it was convenient to get to wherever we wanted to go. Everything was great--this was an excellent hotel. - Cristina
the comfort and width both of the bedroom and the bathroom;
the location - several buses and the underground just a few metres from the hotel; also, a lot of bars, restaurants and shops nearby - Anonymous
II think iApartahotel Eraso is one of the best deals in Madrid. We had a wonderful stay - ELV
Location was convenient for our purposes. Parking in the underground area turned out actually to be convenient for car access since it was a simple elevator ride from our floor to the car. The reception staff were friendly and knew enough English to help us. Comfortable. Quiet for being in the city - no sirens, horns and little traffic noise. - Michael

Dime Find of the Week: Mighty Purse Portable Charger
Filed Under: Deals & Steals, Fab Under $100, shopping
I have to admit I've never been a fan of watches. Not that I hate them, but for as long as I can remember, I've just deferred to my phone for a check of the time, rendering the watch practically useless. But, I've had a serious change of heart lately.
I can't believe this is already our fifth week into the Cubicle Chic series – oh, how time flies! While we're in the midst of taking our office attire from drab to fab, it seems only fitting to mention a piece that has been around for decades. The midi skirt is the definition of sophistication. If styled right, it's a classy way to show off your figure and change up your look.
And if you're confused on how to wear the length {midi skirts can fall just below the knee or a few inches above the ankle!} for your particular body type, check out the looks below.
Whether you have a curvy or boyish figure, a trouser is a must in the corporate world. They're modern, sleek and practical – taking you from the board room to dinner. But you also want to give your co-workers a taste of your sense of style right? Here are three ways to style trousers in the workplace.

Bird watchers spotted an unusual bird at the Evansville Regional Airport on Tuesday.
"Some people keep a life list and track every bird they've seen in their entire life and this is one of those birds that you're not going to get around here," Flake says.
Flake says the owls are attracted to airports because the short grass resembles the snowy tundra of their native habitat.

Learn something new about this little-known commemoration

Now available, the long awaited new album "Beneath The Ashes" by the Canadian electro-industrial project Fractured.
A dense and compact album that never stays too long in one place, maintaining an air of tension throughout, just like an ancient continent foreshadowing its destruction. In other words, never a dull moment: club-ready electro tracks alternate with gentle ballads, always keeping the listener on her toes.
"Beneath The Ashes" already has made the "CD of the month" at elektrauma.de, the Sonic Seducer magazine calls the album "The dancefloor soundtrack for the last party of a lost generation." and the Orkus Magazine predicts: "It will be very difficult to overtake this album. 9/10 points!".

Dismantled is the product of a musical experiment that began in late 2000 by Gary Zon, who was attempting to create something similar to Front Line Assembly's sound. As Gary began further sonic construction by drawing influences from television, movies, and music as well as adding vocals into the mix, his project developed a unique and progressive character. The resulting sound was a unique blend of very melodic, yet complex mix of layered electro-industrial merged with trance elements. Dismantled continues in this fashion with the new album "The War Inside Me".
After almost a decade after first signing with Dependent, Dismantled (Gary Zon) is now a veteran in this industry and his new release is a testament to that fact. This dark, brooding, emotional album shows huge artistic growth for Dismantled, while still keeping that edgy, powerful sound that has made them popular.
Dismantled mastermind Gary Zon about "The War Inside Me": "This is so much more than just an album for me, it's my life. I couldn't say that with any album I've done, but now living in a rehearsal space in downtown Lost Angeles, right inside the cracks of its diseased, urban sprawl has inspired me to take my art to levels never experienced before. The music is just the beginning, and the album artwork will be the first piece of the nightmare. Say tuned for a complete assault on the senses coming this summer."
Tracks to pay attention to include "Disease" with its 80's inspired bass, catchy synths and gloomy vocals, and "Black Heart" which rounds out the album in a cinematic manner. The album will be released in Europe at the end of June via Dependent.
The full tracklisting of "The War Inside Me":
01. Intro / 02. Insecthead / 03. Kill Or Be Killed / 04. Disease / 05. Dead On Impact / 06. Excess / 07. The Bathroom Floor / 08. The War Inside Me / 09. Scrape The Bullets From Your Eyes / 10. Can't See The Top / 11. Black Heart
SKOLD waylays 2011 with his first solo album in 15 years! After delivering a snarky 8-track digital online single entitled "Suck" on April 15, the stage is already set for the May 20 release of the full CD album: "Anomie".
As "Suck" set the beachhead for SKOLD's assault on the musical landscape of the new year, "Anomie" takes up the flag and fearlessly charges headlong into the musical fray. The album flows seamlessly through the cocksure swagger of "(This Is My) Elephant" and "Satellite", the machinegun-rhythms of "Angel Of Noise" seething menace of tracks like "Becoming" are perfectly balanced by the danceable, driving tempo of "Tonight". Don't be mistaken, the album has its intensely personal moments. The songs "Miserably Never After" and "The Hunger" show Tim Skold baring his heart, beautifully. Anomie proves SKOLD steps up once again, supplying sonic solvent for the huffing social cynics.
Here you already can pre-order your copy of "Anomie"
SKOLD - "Anomie" tracklisting:
01. (This Is My) Elephant / 02. Suck / 03. Black Out / 04. Angel Of Noise / 05. Satellite / 06. Becoming / 07. The Hunger / 08. Here Comes The Thunder / 09. And Then We Die / 10. Miserably Never Ever / 11. Tonight / 12. What You See Is What You Get / Digital release bonus tracks: 13 Polka Dot Dress / 14. Deserve
Metropolis Records announced KMFDM's newest single "Krank" has hit #15 on the US Billboard Single Charts!
"Krank" also made #5 of the DAC (German Alternative Charts) this week!
Regarding the DAC there is a further great news: "Dependence 2011" this week climbed to #2 of the album charts!
The first release of the Electro-industrial legends KMFDM on Dependent is the high-energy cocktail "Krank" (German for "sick") and also the band's first single in over nine years The single will feature the title track in three versions, including remixes from Skold and Komor Kommando, along with two versions of the b-side "Day Of Light".

The single is now available and can be ordered here at our shop, too.
"Anything That Gets You Through The Night" was the unusual title of the second album from Edge of Dawn, the collaboration between producer Mario Schumacher and Seabound singer/psychology professor Frank M. Spinath. Released at the end of May 2010 to praise from press and fans alike, the album spent multiple weeks at the top of DAC charts.
One of the high points of the album is the song "Lucid Dreams", for which a video was filmed in early 2011. Edge Of Dawn singer Frank M. Spinath explains the story told in the song: "During my US tour with Seabound and Iris in Spring 2008 I heard a lot of different stories, some of them downright unsettling. One story in particular I found so fascinating that I eventually wrote it down, and out of that came the lyrics to "Lucid Dreams".
A friend of mine was at a club and was approached by two attractive women who, under the auspices of taking him to a private party, got him into their car. In the car, together with the two women, was an unknown driver. After a short drive they picked up a rather grim and silent figure in a hooded sweatshirt who didn't say a word. After a long drive, the group arrived at the rather distant locale where the party was apparently taking place, which turned out to be a desolate and solitary house. At this point, my friend became seriously concerned about his well being, and began to imagine that he was a pawn in some kind of foul plot. He eventually managed to escape through a bathroom window and ran for his life, hiding out for several hours in a cornfield until daybreak. This is an absolutely true story and so vividly did my friend relate to me his experience that I could do nothing but set it to lyrics, which contain some lines exactly as he told them to me, and many details of the original story."
Now you can see the visual interpretation of Edge Of Dawn´s "Lucid Dreams" by American director Steffan Schulz here.
Those interested in a high-resolution version of the clip should make sure to grab next issue (April 21) of the German Nachtaktiv magazine, which will include the "Lucid Dreams" video on an accompanying DVD.

Twenty-five years of materialism: do the US and Europe diverge?
AbstractUsing data from the World Values Survey and the European Values Study, we compare the trends of materialism over the last quarter of century among the US and six major European countries: France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Great Britain and Sweden. We use the definition of materialism adopted by positive psychologists. We find that the trends in Europe and in the US diverged. In the US materialism increased, while in Europe it decreased. However, some mixed patterns arise. In particular, Great Britain, Spain and Sweden showed some symptoms of an increase of materialistic values, although they were far less pronounced compared to the American ones. As far as the levels of materialism are concerned, the US started from relatively less materialistic positions. However, towards the end of our period of observation, they scored very high in the ranking of materialism in our sample of countries.
