about Terri
Terri Hron performs and creates music in a wide range of settings, often in collaboration with others.
Bird on a Wire is her solo performance project. At first, Terri mostly played recorder and electronics, often assisted by Juan Parra Cancino. In absorb the current (2008) and flocking patterns (2011) she presented 14 new pieces for recorder and electronics that she commissioned from other composers.i Now, for NESTING GOZE (2015), she is working with artists from various visual and embodied practices to integrate video and movement with her playing and singing.ii This show will be performed by Egg of Sand (Terri Hron & Catherine Thompson) and recorded for a short film.
In Portrait Collection, Terri is composing for her band of unique instrumentalists, each with a rich experience of interpretation, improvisation and composition.iii In private or public, solo and group sessions, she studies their sounds and words, creating scores and samples from each session to remix in future ones. Terri is slowly defining portraits of each instrumentalist, placing them in time and space. The performers at any given session are sometimes live, other times recorded, with Terri brining the whole in a touch of processing, as if curating a gallery.
As Beta Lyræ, Terri and Cléo Palacio-Quintin network their own and others' music into performances on augmented flutes. With Sam Davidson (music) and Michael Markowsky (visuals), Terri helps make Spacemelt happen, in multi-media shows with numerous guest performers. She is herself a guest or soloist sometimes, appearing with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Constantinople, Productions SuperMusique and the Pacific Baroque Orchestra.
Terri also composes music for and in collaboration with other performers. Recent projects include Sharp Splinter, a set of pieces for instrumentalists and electronics based on the archive of correspondence, audio and film that her family collected during the Cold War,iv and Bittersweet, a choral work with electronics, that was set to and is a setting of a recording of her grandfather reading his poetry for radio. Among her current composition projects are: Rockin, a choreography by Lina Cruz, and Beast Calls, an acoustic set of miniatures for viola and piano based on Terri's field recordings of natural environments.v
Terri studied musicology and art history at the University of Alberta, recorder performance and contemporary music at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and is currently finishing her doctorate in composition at the Université de Montréal. She is researching collaborative practices in the creation of music for instruments and electronics, focusing on the composer's perspective on the idiom of specific performers.vi She gives courses in creation and technology at the Université de Montréal, and masterclasses in a wide variety of settings. She has been the thankful recipient of numerous artist residencies, awards, grants and scholarships.vii

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This used to be a great school. My son has been here for a couple of years. New staff is not friendly or helpful. Everyone in office is rude. They treat volunteers bad and do not appreciate them at all. The teachers all have attitude problems and are mean and scream at the kids. The teachers all talk trash about each other. Just a miserable place.
my son went to Citrus Park Elementary for a few years. It started off okay. Now with new faculty , it has changed. The office staff is extremely rude, the teachers fight amongst themselves. The teachers talk about each other in front of the kids. They scream and put their fingers in the kids faces. The yell and humiliate the kids in front of their peers . If their was a problem with my son, the principal just blew it off. she didn't have any concern with my issues. Volunteers are talked about and not appreciated at all. Over all, I will be glad when my son is out of this school. Bad , rude staff. Bad leadership, mean teachers.
My child suffers from ADHD and ODD. Citrus Park stepped up to help him after Claywell could not. I applaud their efforts in helping my child learn better ways to deal with his set-backs and still keep him above average in curriculum. Very Pleased.
Pedimos de favor los mensajes en espa ol, si fuera posible, muchas gracias, cordialmente, Alicia Vega
Dont know much about the elementary side of this school. I do know that they have many subpar teachers in the middle to high school grades. Too many new or 1st year teachers, because the previous ones were let go. A principal who will remain nameless, who does not care about the parents. Only interest is the money$$$$ I am not returning to this school. IMHO
Great School!!! I have 3 kids in this school and i would never change them. My kids have learned a lot, Thank you!!!
The teachers at Citrus Park Elementary are GREAT!
This school was amazing for my son to go to you made him learn alot thank you : )
We've been at Citrus Park for 6 years and have loved it. The teachers and administration care about every child, not only from an educational stand point, but also their social and emotional development. You won't find a more nurturing school anywhere.
My child is in the ESE program at Citrus Park, and the care and instruction that he has received from everyone including the office staff has been phenomenal. I always rave about this school to anyone who will listen, because it is rare to find so many people in one place who truly care about the well being and happiness of our children.
Excellent teachers who seem to truly care about their students education and development.
It is awsome school. My kids love it the safty patrols say good morning open doors ofer to cary things . How can you go rong with the teachers!
Great teachers who care about the students. Alot of activities that go on at the school for families.
Great school. More parent involvement than I expected. Quick to handle and resolve any issues.
I truly believe that this school is a wonderful place for my childern to get their education. The teachers and the administration team are always pleasant and helpful. You can really feel the sense of pride and happiness the students and teachers have at this school. I am so glad that I live close to a great school for my children to attend.
This school has a great collection of caring teachers who are genuinly concerned about your childs achievments. Great Enviroment! The school houses a early intervention class for 3-5 yr old students who have learning disabilities, i.e. Spectrum Disorders. I've been absolutly amazed by the support and care given to my child and family by his teacher.
I have found both the teachers and administration staff to be of high quality. They seem to really take an interest in the well being and academic progress of the students. I was also very pleasantly surprised to find more parental involvement than I expected.
Wonderful teachers and caring principal. These teachers take personal time to attend to each student individually. Very overcrowded, unfortunately.
Typical for public schools in this area
I love this school! I have been pleased with the education that my child has received thus far. Dr. Bookman is an excellent principal. I would highly suggest that parents get involved and know the teachers. As with any school, there are some teachers I would not personally recommend, but overall the teaching staff is excellent. I should note that I was tough on the 1 to 5 grading. I am a firm believer that there is always room for improvement. Please also note that this is the only elementary school that I am familiar with and therefore I have nothing to compare it to. That said, I would highly recommend Citrus Park Elementary. My child has had great learning experiences and parents are encouraged to be involved and are appreciated for the time and energy they give to the school.

"Vital ministry is always deeply theological. Vibrant theology arises out of the evangelical and doxological life of the church. Theology articulates and clarifies the content of the church's faith in the Triune God of grace. Like the church, theology has a history. Historical theology serves the church by bringing the enduring insights of the Christian community through the ages to bear upon the understanding and proclamation of the Gospel in the present. The radically historical character of the human condition and the church invites, even demands theological dialogue across the boundaries of space and time. Historical theology insures that theological voices from the past are part of the conversation in the present."
Dr. Colyer is an ordained United Methodist Pastor and Elder in the Wisconsin Conference of the United Methodist Church. He has served churches in Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Iowa. A summa cum laude student in college and seminary, he received his Ph.D. from Boston College/Andover Newton in 1992.
In addition to published articles and reviews in journals, including Scottish Journal of Theology, Pro Ecclesia, Religious Studies Review, and Christianity Today, Dr. Colyer edited Evangelical Theology in Transition: Theologians in Dialogue with Donald Bloesch and The Promise of Trinitarian Theology: Theologians in Dialogue with T. F. Torrance. Dr. Colyer is author of How to Read T.F. Torrance: Understanding His Trinitarian and Scientific Theology and The Nature of Doctrine in T. F. Torrance's Theology.

31 Tasting Notes
I see I tried this tea before and didnt really love it. It's not really a Christmas tea, but I am craving caramel, so wanted this one next. Added frothed light cream…..and starbucks caramel syrup. Who knows what the actual tea tastes like now, but this combo is very creamy smmoth sweet caramel – yum!
Enjoying the tea with a bit of #83 dark chocolate from Thomas Haas. Thomas Haas is a vancouver pastry chef and chocolatier. I really enjoyed my visits to his chocolate shop this season. The place was always packed, but his helper "elves" were giving out cookies while we waited in line, Thomas was singing….very cheery atmosphere….and of course…..you were surrounded by chocolate! Anyway this caramel tea, with cream and an extra caramel shot is a de-lish treat.
Merry Christmas everyone! It is fun to read all the tasting notes – my goodness, I didn't realize there were so many Christmas teas! I have started the day with "marzipan" from Nikaido. This is a black tea and so I added a little bit of frothed light cream and a couple of rock sugars – probably wouldnt have needed the sugar as it is sweet already.
It tastes like marzipan! – sweet, creamy and a little bit spicy. It helps that I am having it with Christmas stollen, which I love, with a marzipan center! Enjoying it in the giant davids tea red sweater mug – lovely tea to start Christmas Day.
I thought I would love this more – I will have to give it another try. The dry leaf smell is just like peppermint patties, which I love. And the tea is very minty. I don't get much white chocolate? And it is oily, as others have noted. I think I like a plain strong mint tea, maybe doctored up with extra peppermint syrup or mint stir sticks, better than this. But, only had a quick cup, will have to try it again.
I like this one more than I thought I would. It does taste like spice cake and gingerbread, both things I love. I bought 30 grams initially, then repurchased 100g (took 50g to work, left 50g at home) and then….just bought another 100 g tin…..it has been my recent "go- to" tea, when I want a pleasant tasting caffeinated black tea. I sometimes do tea swaps at work – I also bought our dietician and ward clerk 25 grams of this each to try ( one liked it, one didnt ).
I made up a liter in the breville, so will be sipping it through the morning….with a bit of rock sugar and frothed milk – yum, spice cake!
It seems so cold out! I feel worn out from the work week, and not very motivated to tackle the very long list of weekend chores. Hopefully, this tea perks me up!!
I've been away from Steepster for a while. Just wasn't enjoying hot tea much over the summer. And I was buying too much, but when I stopped shopping….well, a big part of the fun is shopping, ordering, trying new teas…..
Anyways, cool weather, and back on tea…..I love anything mint, peppermint, spearmint, I have peppermint candles, peppermint chocolate patties ( in the freezer-extra good!)…..made a big mug of this spearmint tea…..added in frothy cream and a hammonds peppermint stir stick…..yum! I am not sure i can fairly rate this tea,with all the extra mint, sugar and cream I added…..but it's good like this! Cool, creamy, sweet! I have had it plain, and it is a good pure spearmint…..but quite a treat with all my extra "add ins!"….
I almost bought some harneys peppermint herbal at chapters today…..wish I had…..then I could compare these two mint teas…..well another day tomorrow….
Backlogging from yesterday, which was a hot one, filled with lots of iced tea.
I made this with about 10-12 tsps of "tea" in the 2 L DT takeya, hot water, then ice, then put the infuser back in the coolish pitcher while it sits for a while in the fridge. Also added in some frozen mango.
Yum!! Wish I didnt like this so much as it is heavy and expensive! But, it was so nice and mango-ey! I had ordered some herbal mango from H&S (still waiting) after trying their sampler and I think this is better than theirs (H&S was abit bitter, but still very tasty, as I ordered a tin).
I am liking many of the Davids's fruit herbals for iced tea! And, just many iced teas….trying to decide what I need to re-buy from DT…..tropicalia, mango fruit punch, pink passionfruit, and possibly strawberry rhubarb parfait, which is chilling in the fridge for later today….I like them all….luckily, I have lots left, but….finally warm and sunny days, perfect for fruity iced tea…..
So, I got a "teazer" sampler pack of this, which I think is the only option for purchase at herbal republic other than buying a full tin/big bag (100 gram minimum? Unless you get the teazers, I think.) Not sure, as I only dashed in there on lunch break, not much time to chatter. It was about 5+ tablespoons in the sample teazer pack.
I think I have been using too little tea in my iced blends so I dumped the whole teazer into my takeya, steeped for about ?10 mins in boiling water then added cold water and ice to make about 1.5 – 1.75 litres, then chilled in the fridge. I even tossed in some frozen berries to the mix.
Having a big glass now over ice with a tiny bit of Sonoma simple syrup. It's good. Very fruity, very berry, very juicey. The more I drink it the more I like it. I think I taste more sweet strawberry, than tart berry, but it is nice. Will definitely go back for a tin ( or bag, however they sell it ) and add this one to my summer iced tea rotation!
They will sell my weight if you bring in a tin, as far as I'm aware. Or you can get the bags on the shelf. I need to refill my tin this week. Totally out. I usually use 2 tbsp per litre of finished iced tea, so what you did sounds really good. :)
LOLOL….you must LOVe that tea if your buying your weight! ( I am sure you are a fine weight, but it's still a lot of tea!)……what do you want to bet there is someone who has done that on steepster?….."er, yes….I'd like about 140 lbs of that fruity tea…..yes, I have, 400 tins with me…..what? ….I don't have a problem, just stocking up!) …..lol….
( Well, if you do buy your weight…..leave a little in the store for me? )
Made a full takeya pitcher of this today, iced with some frozen berries added. Yum – so good and refreshing. Kicking my rating up and tempted to make another pitcher right now…..so berry tasty!
I'm drinking this one right now too, and I'm also researching how much "other stuff" I need to put into it in order to get my Zoku pop maker to release the finished product. :)
I kind of like this….I used 3+ teaspoons in my steeper for about 5 mins ( the time doesn't really matter with herbals?) then flash froze it over a big cup of ice…..maybe too much ice, I think I might of liked it a bit stronger….
Without sweetener it is tarty, but I like that…..I would re-buy this. Wonder if it is out of stock? It's good, no strange after taste. Much better than DT's pink lemonade….I will try a little stronger and with sweetener next time…..
Bought this awhile ago, initially loved it, then was put off abit by the strong smell.
Made a big one liter pot in the breville this morning. Added in a bit of extra leaf.
Well, the kitchen smells like blueberries- that is fine! Had the tea with steamed frothed skim milk – it is fine! I think I would like even MORE blueberry flavour…..maybe I will sweeten the next cup and see what I think…..or try an iced latte with some frozen blueberries……yes, that might be tasty…..
this is one of my comfort teas after a long day…. i've been debating getting a tin and trying it iced, but i am trying so hard to behave with my budget, lol. maybe if it comes on sale… and then depending on shipping costs…
I've had it as an iced latte….pretty yummy…..it was all I could do to not go into Davids today…..wanted to stock up on for iced tea and try the new tea of the month…..resisted, but not sure how long I can hold out……
LOL. i caved yesterday and ordered cinnamon swirl bread puerh and a whack of samples from steap shoppe. the shipping was BRUTAL!
Had never heard of steap shoppe! Now another place I want to order from – the cinnamon swirl bread sounds de-lish!
that tea is brilliant but i have been warned that their customer service is rather lacking. so i will be checking my order once it arrives! and be assertive if it is erroneus! LOL
So got this one at Williams Sonoma for some crazy inflated price, but have gone Harney & Sons crazy, so what could I do?
Smell is….cinnamon! Wow, very strong. The sachets it comes in are so lovely. First cup plain with nothing added – I like it! It is very very cinnamon-y!! It feels almost like a light cinnamon syrup, and is it sweet. I think this will be a tea I drink on its own, but will try it with milk…..definitely doesn't need sugar. So many of the davids teas I have seem to have such faint flavours, you are guessing, what sort of tea was this supposed to be? Not this one – you know it's cinnamon!
First day of one week vacation/ staycation for me!
Yay – going for massage therapy and out shopping for new iced tea to celebrate! Another cup of this hot cinnamon tea will get me going…..

Chattanooga, Tennessee
Best Holiday Trav-L-Park of Chattanooga
[ 5/10 ]
We stayed here for 8 nights and were very happy with the facilities, but very unhappy with the hospitality of the staff. Upon check-in, for an 8 day stay, we were told we could not be accommodated for a site closer to our relatives cabin who were checking in on Wednesday. "We are booked for the holiday weekend." The site we asked to move to, remained empty until Friday, seven days later! A site is a site, why not accommodate a camper who is staying for 8 nights as opposed to a camper who is staying 3 nights? On day 5, a camper checking in to the site across from ours hit my truck with the rear end of his trailer. He tried to hide the incident by removing the damaged piece of his camper and not mentioning the incident to anyone. Upon discovery, we questioned the front desk to speak with a manager and the manager was rude and not interested in what happened and only offered to call the police. Even though the site is nostalgic and laden with Civil War history, clean and well groomed; my family and I will not stay here again. I will also make sure that I tell everyone I camp with to steer clear of the rude camp-staff employed by the "Best Holiday Trav-L-Park Chattanooga". I would expect this type of treatment from campsites in the north, but not in a true southern gem such as Chattanooga!
Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Adventure Bound Camping Resort Gatlinuburg
[ 3/10 ]
Prior to our arrival at ABC (Crazy Horse)I contacted the management to see if they were addressing the condition of the restrooms and showers that had been given poor ratings in previous comments by other campers. I was assured that they were addressing the comments and that the staff tried very hard each day to keep the restrooms clean for all guests. I was even offered an upgrade to a full hook up site that turned out to be too small for my 36' trailer, so we stayed in a "stream side" W/E site for 7 days. Our stream turned out to be the feeder "creek" for the algae filled fishing pond that bore no catch-able trout. The staff is friendly enough, if you discount the tyrant who unhappily operates the $9/day water slide. If you weigh more than 100lbs, keep you @$$ off the water slide or your @$$ will be hanging off the side rubbing against the 150 grit concrete sand paper they lined the side of the slide with. (Worth the $9, per site, for the kids to tire themselves of endless energy. Now to the facilities... I'm sure that 15 years ago this was a nice campground. Whomever the owner is currently needs to reinvest on the infrastructure of the park. The restrooms/showers need a major overhaul and the water system needs a pump boost to get you any pressure at the faucet head. My water system barely had enough pressure to wash your hands, let alone a shower in your own trailer, unless you used your own water pump. No need for a pressure regulator here. Not to fault the management or staff, but there seemed to be at least one occupant of the campground every night who needed to defecate in a pasture instead of a toilet. This individual or individuals need to learn a little common courtesy for the other campers as well as those who have to clean up behind them. During our stay, I only found one toilet out of 6 (each day) that was usable before 9am (when the staff cleaned and removed the bovine fecal matter from the available receptacles). So, is the staff working on the restroom issue? Yes, but it only appears they do so once a day and nothing is being done to proactively make the park better for future campers. Unfortunately for the majority of the friendly staff, we will not return.
London, Kentucky
Levi Jackson State Park
[ 7/10 ]
Nice park, nice amenities and friendly staff. Sites are not well laid out or marked. The pool staff treats you as though you are checking into Ft. Knox with regard to getting the "camper" discount. Be sure and take your receipt, the warden will not trust the fact that she just watched you walk up the trail from the campground as proof that you are camping! Make sure to dine at Mama Rosa's on the way into or out of the park, great Italian Beef Sandwiches!!!
Corydon, Indiana
O'Bannon Woods State Park
[ 7/10 ]
This was our first stay in our new trailer and we really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful surroundings of O'Bannon Woods. We were back in the 200's of the campground well away from the high traffic areas of the park. One draw back from that is that for the first time in my camping history (or that of any of my family and friends) we had a theft at our campsite during the night. Someone came onto our site and stole our bug light. This kind of dampened our spirits for a few, but we moved on and had a great time. The pool is a wonderful get away, BUT, GET THERE EARLY in order to even get a chair! The park was not at 100% capacity yet the pool was almost standing room only. The water slides were fun for both young and old. Some of the campsites would be tight for backing in large rigs, the roadways are a little narrow, and some trees could be removed for ease of parking a rig. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will return for camping fun, but we will definitely lock up our bug light!

Several residents homeless after Oroville fire
Several people in downtown Oroville are homeless after a fire spread from an outdoor area into an attic Monday afternoon.
First reports of the fire on Montgomery Street between Third and Fourth Avenues came in just after 12 p.m.
The home is divided into three apartments and firefighters arrived to find a fire that started near a rear unit had moved into the attic.
Crews were forced to cut holes into the ceiling to access it, causing considerable damage.
"Everyone's been displaced at this point until we can determine whether the structure is actually safe to live in," says Miguel Ruiz with the Oroville Fire Department. "As of right now, if I had to estimate, I would say this is a total loss.
There's no word about the exact number of people who lived in the building.
Firefighters shut down a portion of Montgomery Street from Fifth to Second Avenues for more than two hours as crews mopped up.
While fire officials are still working to determine an exact cause, they say that an initial call suggested a barbeque was likely where it began.

WAYLAND, NY - Gunlocke has achieved a major environmental benchmark, certifying products to the current Business & Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (BIFMA) Sustainability Standard. Gunlocke is among the first companies to certify its environmental performance claims through Scientific Certification Systems' (SCS) Sustainable Choice™ Program.
Gunlocke's casegood product lines including: Medley, Menu, Mosaic, and Kennsington have met the qualifications for the Sustainable Choice Silver level. Additionally, the company's conference table product lines including: Medley, Kennsington, Converge, and Surfaces have all met the qualifications for the Sustainable Choice Silver level. Finally, Gunlocke's seating lines, including Alti, Attract, Molti, Olla, and Porter have also met the qualifications for the Sustainable Choice Silver level.
Developed in response to the increasing demand for proof that manufacturers are living up to their environmental claims, BIFMA's new Sustainability Standard provides measurable market-based definitions of progressively more sustainable furniture. The standard was developed using an open, consensus-based process with a broad and diverse group of stakeholders from academia, the architect and design community, end-users, regulatory agencies, federal and state government, and certifiers. The performance criteria it has established, and which SCS Sustainable Choice vigorously applies, address environmental, economic and social aspects throughout the supply chain based on materials, energy and atmosphere, human and ecosystem health, and social responsibility.
Upon earning the SCS certification to the current BIFMA sustainability standard, Roy Green, Gunlocke's director of stewardship and sustainability, notes, "Gunlocke is pleased to be one of the first in the industry to meet the rigorous qualifications of the silver lever of the SCS Sustainable Choice Program. This achievement demonstrates our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible products and business practices.
"We are committed to setting a higher standard in product design, quality, service and delivery in the wood contract furniture market. We strongly believe that our future is dependent upon the commitments we make to sustain the natural environment," he adds.

On November 8, at the Institute for Signifying Scriptures, Phil Zuckerman, Associate Professor of Sociology at Pitzer College, gave a presentation entitled "W.E.B. DuBois and the Bible." Professors and graduate students listened attentively to Professor Zuckerman's research on DuBois's struggles as one of the pioneers in the academic fields of sociology and history and in creative writings. According to Zuckerman, DuBois was a creative and courageous thinker who not only challenged social norms but also theological and Biblical narratives in the black and white cultures of Christian America.
Zuckerman argued that although he was raised in an earnest New England protestant church tradition, DuBois broke away from organized religion in college and considered himself a free thinker. Although some have criticized DuBois as hostile to religion, Zuckerman pointed out that DuBois's hostility was not aimed at religion itself—which he believed could be a weapon for social ethics, justice, and good will—but rather at white Christian hypocrisy.
Despite DuBois's major intellectual contributions, Zuckerman discovered that until recent decades there was a consistent lack of attention to and respect for his numerous literary and oral contributions to African American struggles. This led him to study DuBois's major work, The Souls of Black Folk, where he discovered that DuBois had written on the sociology of religion, shedding light on the way religion is engaged. Zuckerman went on to publish DuBois on Religion and The Social Theory of W.E.B. DuBois, in addition to facilitating the re-publication of DuBois's own Negro Church.
According to Zuckerman, DuBois knew the Bible intimately and drew from it throughout his life in his speeches, essays, novels, short stories, and social-political activism. His writings were often tempered with allusions to the Bible for his own polemical ends and political purposes. His used the Bible not so much to instill Christian beliefs within the black community but rather to appeal to a wider audience of Americans by engaging, challenging, and playing upon a text that was deeply embedded in their shared culture.
For example, Zuckerman pointed to DuBois's play on the metaphor of the veil to describe the division between blacks and whites. Zuckerman argued that the veil as appears in the book of Exodus, which chronicles the enslavement and wandering of the ancient Jews, takes on a double function: to cover the ark of the covenant which the Jews were carrying with them; and to shield Moses' face from the people after he had spoken to God on Mt. Sinai. In both situations, the veil serves as a thin wall of separation between the sacred and the profane, the holy and the mundane. Zuckerman's twist on the matter is that he understands Dubois's interpretation to have been that black folks live behind a veil that separates the spiritual from the non-spiritual realm and that blacks in fact occupy the more elevated spiritual position.
What Zuckerman finds most exciting and unique about DuBois are his writings on Jesus as a black man. He uses the Jesus narrative in the gospels to illuminate the condition of African Americans in white America: their persecution, murder and salvation. This can be found especially in some of his short stories, e.g., "Jesus Christ in Georgia," "The Gospel According to Mary Brown," "The Second Coming" and "The Son of God," which identify oppressed and persecuted black folks of the south as the collective incarnation of Jesus. For DuBois, it was black people who carried Christ's spirit of love and forgiveness in white America.
After highlighting a number of DuBois's writings, Zuckerman concluded with a few points for reflection:
*DuBois clearly understood that the Bible was of major cultural importance, unparalleled for both whites and blacks, and employed it to push for social justice and freedom. He also used the Bible in his writings to inspire empathy and understanding towards African Americans
*DuBois saw the figure of Jesus not as source of personal salvation but rather as a cultural and historical icon and symbol of Black American suffering
*In DuBois's use of Biblical stories, he challenged white American Christianity and destabilized the white Christ by undermining the roots of white Christian hegemony. Zuckerman quoted a passage from DuBois' "The Church and the Negro" in The Crisis of 1913 in which he writes:
Jesus Christ was a laborer and black men are laborers;
He was poor and we are poor;
He was despised;
He was persecuted and crucified, and we are mobbed and lynched.
If Jesus Christ came to America He would associate with Negroes and Italians and working people…
How does DuBois's hostility toward "white Christian hypocrisy," articulated in part through playing with scriptural content, position him with respect to believing communities? In other words, does his engagement with scriptures mark him as an insider or outsider—and how might that location affect our reading of him?
What does it mean for an individual of DuBois's stature and legacy to use biblical texts to critique bible-centric American religion? In what way does his critical transvaluation resemble and differ from signifying done by communities, for example, in black churches?
The multivalent imagery of the veil has to do with the racialized perception of self and other. How does our awareness of the possible biblical origins of DuBois's metaphor deepen or contest conventional interpretations of the veil?

Thornton Wildcats
Last year's record: 6-4 (5-2 SouthWest Suburban Red), lost to Oswego in the first round of the Class 7A playoffs
Head coach: Bill Mosel
Record: 178-92 at school and overall.
Assistant coaches: Dontrell Jackson, Preston LeFlore, Tai Streets, Ken Smith, Gus Jones, Dale Mize, Bruce Muhammad.
Starters back: 11 (5 on offense, 6 on defense)
Top offensive players: Jamal Towns, Sr., RB (1,452 yards, 14 TDs rushing, 9 catches, 122 yards, 2 TDs receiving); Jason Towns, Sr., QB (50-of-72 passing, 5 TDs passing, 363 yards rushing and 4 TDs); D'Anthony Cross, Jr., WR (231 yards rushing and 6 TDs, 27 catches, 237 yards, 5 TDs receiving); Jawan Westley, Jr., WR (35 catches, 321 yards, 4 TDs); Jerome Jenkins, Sr., OL (graded out at 89 percent).
Top defensive players: Jalen Banks, Sr., DB (55 tackles, 4 INTs); Jerome Jenkins, Sr., DT (59 tackles, 13 sacks, 10 TFL); Jason Towns, Sr., DB (34 tackles, 4 INTs); Taje Frazier, Sr., DB (22 tackles, 3 INTs); Derrick Wanderick, DL, (47 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 TFL); Lavon Ratcliff, Sr., DE (57 tackles, 5 sacks, 5 TFL).
The Times Breakdown
The Wildcats have a lot of talent and experience. A lot of these seniors started as sophomores and Banks is a four-year starter. Banks has offers from seven schools and is one of the top prep defensive backs in the country. Both the offensive and defensive lines, led by two-way performer Jenkins and defensive end Ratcliff should be among the best at stopping teams in their tracks. Offensively, the Towns twins are definitely double-trouble. Both can hurt you in so many ways on both sides of the ball. Wide receivers Cross and Westley are big-play guys. Thornton is pretty solid all around. The Wildcats could make a nice playoff run if everyone stays healthy.
Quote: "The SouthWest Suburban Red this year is very balanced. We will only go as far as our offensive and defensive line can take us." !~ Mosel

Motivation to move to Cannon Beach began 13 years ago when owners Bob Neroni and Lenore Emery first traveled through the beach community on their way to Seattle. The idea of opening a cooking school was very appealing because both Bob and Lenore had spent many years teaching or training in the food industry.
Experiential dining and fun with food are the school's primary objectives. Classes are open to everyone, adults and children, foodies and novice cooks, skill seekers and fun seekers. Students are able to explore and discover the fun of food and wine through both demonstration classes and hands-on classes, taught and facilitated by Bob, Lenore, and visiting chefs, artisans and vintners
Bob elaborates upon his kitchen philosophy: "EVOO is a sustainable kitchen, focusing on the local growing community of artisan producers. Our farmers, fishermen and ranchers go to great lengths to provide the freshest ingredients possible. We take equal care in the handling their products. Our Sub-Zero freezer has become an integral part of that daily production."

When the Gen III Chevy engine exploded on the scene just over 10 years ago, it seemed that it would take forever for the everyman to afford one of these technological marvels. And back then, if "Joe the plumber" got his hands on a takeout from a salvage yard it would require a computer genius, a cutting torch, a second mortgage, and a good divorce attorney to get one of the LS powerplants hopped up and in your ride. Those days, my friend, are over.
Today, you can buy a complete Gen III core for about the same as a good virgin 350 four-bolt main block, and get it up and running in your hot rod for next to nothing. And thanks to the hard work of engineers at GMPP and MSD, the parts are now readily available to get that high-tech piece of metal making big power with minimal headaches. You can bolt on a distributor and carburetor and spend your nights cruising instead of poring over ECU wiring diagrams or installing a $1,500 high-pressure fuel system. Just how easy is it to make power? Bret Bowers and his team from Racing Engine Design recently built a 370-cube LS for the 2009 Jegs Engine Masters Challenge that made an impressive 579 horses for an even more impressive $6,600.
Our tantalizing tale of Bowers' budget bombshell begins with a journey back in time to when our troops were being welcomed back from Desert Storm (thank goodness that's all over), the Soviet Union imploded, and both Magic Johnson and Freddie Mercury announced that they had AIDS (but not together). That year was 1991, and Tom Stephens, executive director of GM Powertrain, was tasked with laying down the brushstrokes for a completely new multipurpose pushrod V-8. He took advantage of all of GM's resources, most specifically the team he had working with him as well as numerous others contributing to the cause. Weighing a solid 100 pounds lighter than its predecessor, using new casting technologies, Finite Element Analysis, and incredibly powerful cylinder heads designed by the legendary brothers Ron and Ken Sperry, the Gen III 5.7 engine was dubbed the LS1 and finally took life in the '97 Corvette. The Gen III family quickly grew beyond its 5.7L matriarch and expanded to include 4.8-, 5.3-, and 6.0-liter variants as well. Though all are kin and share the Gen III label, only the 5.7L version is designated the LS1 by GM. Somehow as it evolved, the other cube sizes just seemed to inherit the LS designation. Who would have thought that with the overhead cam platforms becoming so popular and efficient GM could create a lowbrow pushrod engine that could not only compete with, but blow away the OHC engines of the time?
Once that new engine grew out of its toddler phase and took longer strides in the high-performance world, it was only a matter of time before the aftermarket was able to fully realize its potential. Coincidentally, core and takeout prices for the LS were dropping out of the stratosphere and into a more breathable atmosphere. The timing couldn't have been more perfect for Racing Engine Design to undertake this project.

ABC 123 – Mini Quilt Monday
Welcome to our third Mini Quilt Monday! This week I decided to dive right into the book Word Play Quilts by Tonya Ricucci. I recently discovered Tonya's blog, and wow, there is a lot of inspiration on there!
I have future plans to make a quilt with some words on it, but I was a bit intimidated when it came to making letters. I'm *pretty* sure I've mentioned that geometry and I don't exactly get along. And this style of letters looked like you needed to know something about that. Tonya's book makes it SO easy! She has step-by-step instructions for all letters and numbers.
I also followed tips that I learned during Malka Dubrawsky's Improvisational Piecing class:
1. I followed basic color rules when making my letters. Each letter/number is made with either warm or cool fabrics. I alternated warm/cool/warm/cool/etc.
2. I didn't use my ruler once when making this mini quilt. I freehand cut all pieces with my rotary cutter. If a piece had a slight curve to it, I incorporated that curve into the next piece I sewed on.
3. When sewing letters together, if one letter was smaller than the next, I added fabric to the smaller piece rather than trimming fabric from the larger piece.
4. I used mostly solid fabrics, but incorporated a few prints to add a bit of interest.
I know this improvisational style of sewing makes some of you break out into a cold sweat. I won't name names. You know who you are. LOL But I just love how it turned out!
I quilted this mini using straight lines in varying directions on the background portions of the letters. As for the fabric, I used a selection of solids from my stash: Kona cottons, Kaffe Fassett shot cottons, Moda crossweaves, Free Spirit Designer Solids and Pat Bravo's Pure Elements solids. Phew! The binding is a Kei Honeycomb. The final size is 14″ x 12.5″. This is one mini quilt I think would look great hanging up in a nursery with little clothes pins. I've added it to my shop.
So let's see what you made this week. Link 'em up!

It's so cute!!
Really neat!
So fun! I'll have to check out the book!
I love the ABC 123 quilt! The color and fabric choices look great!!
I didn't finish up any mini-quilts this week, so I linked to one I finished last month. Feel free to take it off if you only want to have new projects in the linky list- no worries at all! Thanks for sponsoring such a fun page!
love the colors-it's so playful! just found your blog via flickr, thanks for hosting the linkup!
Funny you were inspired by malka dubrawsky….I was working on a table runner of hers last night. I confess my ruler came out occasionally. Funny that I need practice being improvisational!
At any rate, your little quilt is darling!!
This week's mini is so primary, I love it! I have that same book but have been intimidated by it! Thanks for the inspiration of only a few letters at a time and thanks for hosting this great link up!
Very cool! I love the bright colors! The quilting looks great. It almost make it look like the background fabric is corduroy. I like how you shared some of the ways you did things. It helps make these improvisational things a little more approachable!
That looks so funky and fresh! Awesome!
The colors are wonderful and I love the black and white binding : ) I will have to check on this book too!
amazing! i love the numbers and letters, you did an excellent job. the tips are also much appreciated!
Very funky indeed!
I love how you just quilted in the negative space. I really want to try some letters and numbers.
That came out great! I've tried letters before and it didn't come out. But seeing yours, I might give it another try.
simple and fresh – perfect
absolutely awesome – i love it!! the colors are marvelous. i just recently discovered how much fun it is to not use any rulers – very freeing. glad you enjoyed the book!
I would be one of those sweating. I have toyed with buying the book as I like the idea of adding words to a quilt top and /or back. Yours has turned out wonderfully.

And here is my attempt to bring it all together. I probably need to adjust shadows where they fall across towers and buildings and varying heights. Also some of the flying buttresses need extra depth where they rise from the forest canopy. And there are some seams. But overall I'm much happier with this version than the last version.
The exterior maps are nearly complete now. I have three things left to do:
1) redo cliffs to north of keep and make cliffs stick out here and have a series of buildings under keep sticking out a bit.
2) do the keep gate where the bridge joins the main keep - once again the cliff sticks out here.
3) do the cliff properly - I never really did the cliff well. Maybe I can get away with the very rough cliff I have now. I need to make a decision.
And after that, I will be able to work on the interiors!
This project is getting better and better!

The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled goaltender Cedrick Desjardins from the Lightning's American Hockey League affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch.
As we told you earlier, Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop is listed as Day to Day with an Upper Body Injury. As such, he will not be in net on Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets. In his place will be goaltender Anders Lindback. However, in the incredibly unlucky event that something should happen to Lindback, he will be in need of a backup. In order to fill said void, the Bolts have made the call to bring Desjardin back to the main roster.
Desjardins has played in 18 games so far this season with the Syracuse Crunch. In that time, he has gone 5-8-2-2. The 6'0, 203 pound netminder has a Goals Allowed Average of 2.75 and a Save Percentage of .903.
Last season, Desjardins had 14 games to his name with the Crunch. In that time, he went 8-5-1-3 with a Goals Allowed Average of 2.12 and a Save Percentage of .918.
Desjardins also backstopped the Crunch to the final round of the 2013 Calder Cup Finals. During the post season he went 13-5-0-3 and had a GAA of 2.30 and a Save Percentage of .908.
Cedrick Desjardins was re-acquired by the Tampa Bay Lightning on February 14, 2013 from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for goaltender Dustin Tokarski.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) is at it again. Not being satisfied with the FHA's decades-long lending nightmare that resulted in an estimated 3.2 million dashed homeowner dreams since 1975, it is launching a new ad campaign entitled "FHA Facts". Their "facts" are cold comfort to the half million working-class families getting loans from the FHA since 2008 who will lose their homes to foreclosure. These families will lose a sizable portion of their savings and see their credit ruined because the FHA set them up to fail.
The housing lobby says that "now" is a bad time for reform. They've said that for over 60 years. American families who face the crushing fact of foreclosure can't afford to wait for the housing lobby to embrace common-sense changes to restore FHA's vital mission of providing responsible credit to working class families and first-time home buyers.
Presents the following myths as:
No matter how hard the NAR tries to change the facts, this is not your great-grandmother's FHA.
Fact: FHA's so called safe lending since 2008 will result in a half million foreclosures (source: HUD documents).
Fact: FHA's abusive lending practices are particularly harmful to working class families and neighborhoods (source: www.NightmareAtFHA.com).
Fact: Since 1975 an estimated 3.2 million FHA homeowners had their dreams turn to nightmares (source: HUD documents).
Fact: Today's FHA's lending standards are not "exactly the way Congress designed it to operate 80 years ago". (sources: HUD documents, John P. Herzog and James S. Earley, Home Mortgage Delinquency and Foreclosure (Cambridge, MA: National Bureau of Economic Research, 1970), and Thomas N. Herzog, History of Mortgage Finance with an Emphasis on Mortgage Insurance, Society of Actuaries, 2009).
- Maximum loan-to-value: 80% in 1934 vs. 96.5% today
- Maximum loan term: 20 years in 1934 vs. 30 years today
- Insurance claim incidence rate: 0.2% cumulative claim incidence rate from 1934-1954 (2.9 million loans) vs. 10.6% average annual claim incidence rate from 1975-2011 (30 million loans)
- Insurance loss severity rate: 9% average from 1934-1954 vs. 63% in 2012
- FHA loss rate (incidence x severity) has increased 400 times, having gone from a 0.02%(1934-1954) to 7% today

Following on from my entry earlier this month about the pictures of an old Soviet submarine base posted on the Russian-language LiveJournal blog of one "Russos," loyal citizen Oddsod Blok'd (who reviews PARANOIA supplements as "Matthew") writes once more to report still another incredible, absolutely must-see set of Russian Russos photos. "This particular set is from the subway tubes under Saint Petersburg, I believe. I know I've gotten the city right, at least. This time they perfectly fit The Underplex. I'd like to see what Jim Holloway would do if he were given, say, the picture with the huge machine."
Ask Ken Rolston
This weekend I'm interviewing Ken Rolston, the original PARANOIA line editor in the hmid-1980s at the game's original publisher, West End Games. Ken brought to Alpha Complex its famous irreverent tone. In addition to editing the first and best bunch of adventures, he wrote the original GM Screen RED-Clearance mini-adventures (reprinted in PARANOIA Flashbacks), HIL Sector Blues (mostly reprinted in Extreme PARANOIA), and Orcbusters (to be reprinted in the forthcoming mission collection Collapsatron).
After masterminding PARANOIA's much-loved second edition, Ken left West End. He spent a year or two resurrecting the RuneQuest line at Avalon Hill, then joined Bethesda Softworks, where he was Lead Designer on the bestselling "Elder Scrolls" computer game Morrowind and its new sequel, Oblivion. That's actually the reason for my interview, which will be published on the popular hardware site HardOCP. I'll be asking Ken all kinds of questions about Oblivion — ideally even one or two he hasn't heard a hundred times already. For that, I could use your help.
Please post in the comments one or more questions you'd like Ken to answer. It's best if they're about Morrowind or Oblivion, but if you're burning to know something about the early days of PARANOIA, ask and I'll try to slip in a question or two. I'll post pertinently paranoid answers here.
Vote early and often
The leading PARANOIA fan site, Paranoia-Live.net, is running a new poll on its front page: "Which is your favorite non-mission supplement for the current edition of PARANOIA?"
Wow, I kind of lost track of how many have already appeared: the GM Screen with its "mission blender" booklet, The Traitor's Manual, The Mutant Experience, the STUFF equipment book, Extreme PARANOIA, Service, Service!, Criminal Histories, and — just out! — The Underplex.
After voting, loyal citizens may also wish to check the entertaining poll comment thread on the ever-active forums.
PARANOIA in the real world: Foam hangar
You may have seen (via Boing Boing and elsewhere) this photo series of flame-retardant foam filling an airplane hangar at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota.
Last August the Air Force installed "a modern high-expansion foam system" in a hangar for B-1 bombers. The civilian contractor, with military approval, tested the system. "Required coverage occurred within one minute of the system being activated," says an Air Force press release. "The test was so successful, the foam reached the observation platform where officials were documenting the procedure. The Air Force required a minimum of one meter of foam to be achieved in four minutes or less. For testing purposes, the foam was allowed to disperse for the full four minutes."
And then — uh — it kept going. And going. Finally they had to open the hangar doors and send a seismic cascade of shaving cream out onto the tarmac among the planes.
All this sounds totally familiar to every PARANOIA player. But the real Alpha Complex angle, for me, is the military's stony-faced spin control at debriefing. Did something go wrong? Might some official's job be at risk? Not at all, Friend Computer! This planned and meticulously executed test succeeded beyond all hope! From the press release:
The system worked so well the exterior door of the hangar had to be opened before the test was fully completed. These events account for the photos of the amount of foam inside and outside of the hangar.
So, did someone have a gross miscue? No. On the contrary, a fire suppression system responsible for helping protect vital mission-essential assets and, most importantly, for helping safeguard Airmen's lives, worked extremely well. The foam system exceeded Air Force standards, Colonel Singh said.
Boy, no kidding. As you might expect, the Air Force takes a stern view of citizens who frivolously send around these photos:
Master Sgt. Dana Rogers, 28th Communications Squadron superintendent of network security, said e-mails such as the one depicting the foam test "misrepresent our capabilities" and can even cause damage to computer networks. "You think it's so funny, so you send it to 10 people. Then, they send it to 10 more. This takes up an extremely large amount of e-mail space and can lead to the loss of resources," he said.
Apparently the foam did no damage, and no one was hurt. I presume our nation's fleet of multi-billion-dollar bombers could have withstood the foam, had it reached them. But the idea that Air Force computer networks can't handle the latest e-mail joke to make the rounds — now that sounds like Alpha Complex.
Underplex review
The PARANOIA sections of the Mongoose Publishing forums are usually quiet. There's little overlap, apparently, between the PARANOIA fan base and the fans of Mongoose's many other product lines. But one "dunderm" has posted a lengthy and glowing review of The Underplex on the forum.
Underplex writer Paul Baldowski has been fighting off illness for some weeks, but hopes he can soon resume posting excerpts and deletions from The Underplex on Omega Complex.
Soviet submarine base photos
Want to see exactly what (parts of) Alpha Complex looks like in my own mind, I mean exactly? Check out this Russian-language LiveJournal blog post of pictures of an old Soviet submarine base built between 1957 and 1961 and operated until 1995. Never mind the first bunch of photos; check the ones toward the end.
RPG.net user and loyal citizen Oddsod Blok'ed, who reviews PARANOIA supplements as "Matthew," writes, "I believe [the base is] in the Black Sea near Balaclava — I don't know much Russian and that's pretty rusty. I think the later pictures on the page could be handy for PARANOIA fans who want to know what Alpha Complex industry, power plants and military bases look like." Commendation point, Matthew!
It's been too many decades since my high-school Russian classes, so I'm useless here, and Google doesn't translate Russian yet. If anyone can read the backstory of this base, please post the translation in the comments.

After straightening the front bumper the best we could, we sprayed it with two coats of Rust-Oleum silver-metallic wheel paint. It doesn't look as gaudy as it sounds, and the finish looks kinda like chrome if you squint a little. We also painted the grille-surround trim with the stuff and were pleased with the results. Putting the trim back on was one of the few hassles we ran into this weekend. These trim clips love to break and laugh at you as you try to reassemble them. We managed to salvage enough of them in working order to secure the grille surrounds in place. New replacements are available from companies like Goodmark, Classic Industries, and Brothers truck parts.

Nydus wormTalk5
this wiki
The nydus worm is a zerg transport strain.
A nydus worm (or similar variant) was observed on Urona Sigma in 2502. This organism was capable of tunneling through rock to reach its targets, creating a passage for smaller strains to follow. They didn't require creep on the surface of its point of emergence.[1]
By the Second Great War, the nydus worm was an evolution of the nydus canal. These worms live inside a nest-like structure called the nydus network and can travel from the network to any nearby location that is seen by the user before emerging, in the process creating a tunnel beneath the battlefield. This huge creature is capable of stretching itself out to prodigious lengths to support the tunnel with its own skin and ribs. Zerg warriors can enter the tunnel via either the worm's head or network, and can travel through the worm at great speed due to a combination of peristaltic motion and chemical stimulants that direct their movements. Nydus worms pose a grave threat to areas previously thought to be secure.[2]
Game StructureEdit
|Nydus Worm
Underground transport
|Build time
|Produced from
|Hit points
|Summon Nydus Worm
A nydus network can create multiple nydus worms at any point visible to the player. The worm spawns creep when it emerges.
The nydus worm can spawn on any 3x3 patch that is clear of the fog of war. Deploying on creep is optional.
The nydus worm grants access to the "nydus system" through the UI. Nydus worms and networks act as portals into and out of the system. Units are loaded into the system, and may not be attacked while inside. Loaded units are lost only when all portals are destroyed.
Air units, mobile crawlers, and allied units cannot be loaded into the system.
The nydus worm can be used to transport as many units as are selectable. These units are visible within the system. However, the UI displays only the first couple of units per supply-level.
Unloading all units from a nydus worm makes them exit one-by-one in the order they entered the system. All units, regardless of properties, take the same time to unload. The unload command does not affect units who enter the network while unloading is in progress.
Each worm can be given a rally point. Units which exit that particular worm automatically attack-move to that point.
When a nydus worm finishes spawning, a screeching sound and a text warning are issued to all players. This alerts players. This is unlike the nuke warning, which gives time to react.
A nydus network may spawn only one nydus worm at a time, although spawning may be queued. Having multiple nydus networks allows multiple nydus worms to be spawned simultaneously.
Nydus worms can quickly transport units between multiple zerg bases, in a manner similar to nydus canals. A pool of units can be kept in the "nydus system" to emerge at a moment's notice at any of the system's entrances. This can be used to move drones to and from expansions.
Use multiple nydus worms to attack an enemy base; single worms are easily destroyed due to their low hit points. Spawning multiple worms near multiple bases may be used to feign attacks and test defenses; troops can be sent against bases which are not reinforced.
Units unload in the same order they are loaded; manipulate the load order so an attack is spearheaded by the most appropriate units.
Blizzard has noticed that nydus worms aren't being as used as often as they would like. They are considering making changes to the unit, but would like to keep it distinct from the overlord, in regards to being a riskier, but more effective zerg transport in-game.[3]
Heart of the SwarmEdit
The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm which is no longer valid.
Blizzard planned on allowing players to produce different kinds of nydus worms. Examples include a worm that can spew creep across several screens to create a zerg assault highway as well and a worm that attacks only enemy buildings which are used as a ground based zerg base raider.[4]
As of September 2012 these new versions have yet to appear,[5] and were eventually canceled,[6] though variant strain data does exist in the game's beta files.[7]
Heroes of the StormEdit
The following section contains information from Heroes of the Storm and is not canon to StarCraft continuity
Nydus worms can be summoned by Zagara in Heroes of the Storm.[8]

After his explosive #EmeryEastWest tour where Gareth Emery photo documented his epic road trip across this great country, Gareth is finally here to deliver some music as we gear up for the upcoming Miami Music Week. Released on Garuda, Meet Her in Miami is a Progressive House set that touches some of this Trance 2.0 we've been seeing recently in the music sphere and brings us back to 1997 with Da Hool's Meet Her at the Loveparade. While some may argue that Gareth has ripped off this one, we have to remember that in this business, samples are used all the time from classic tracks, and Gareth has given this classic a new life. In a matter of a few minutes of posting this link on Twitter, we noticed that the Soundcloud sphere wasn't very happy with Gareth, so Mr. Emery wanted to set the record straight.
"OK… so I initially made this cover version of Da Hool's classic 'meet her at the love parade' for my own sets, as it was always one of my favourite classics and I felt it needed an update. Didn't initially plan on releasing it but the reactions live were great and lots of people asked about it, so I decided to stick it out there with a new name for no other reason than Miami is coming up and I am looking forward to it. This is not Concrete Angel nor is it supposed it be, it's a party track which is a bit of a fun whilst I am working on my new album. Gaz"
Well Mr. Emery, we still love this track or else we wouldn't share it on our site. Enjoy via Soundcloud lovers until the official release February 18th.
