I think the title and lyrics speak for themselves. This project started at the same time as the song and video DON'T BELIEVE, means 2 years ago. Some problems have changed and today we're living not better. From deep of my heart I hope that this song will hold you on for a while and think about our actual situation. The voices at the end of the track are taken from a demonstration in Spain shouting: SI SE PUEDE, YES WE CAN. Currently the government has to leave some of their laws and decisions, pressed by the people. Only together we have the power to make this world a better place.
This song was a real challenge...Dan from PRDVOCALS http://www.reverbnation.com/prdvocals invited me to a collab. Sending me and based on his orchestral sounds, we worked out together some ideas and agreed to invite Monty Johnson http://www.reverbnation.com/montyjohnson
to join us. The title of the track invited as well to write some lyrics. Both guys collaborated with their opinion and suggestions which finally lead to this song. We hope you like it and really feel you have been in CUBA... As well I take the opportunity to thank Dan for the fantastic idea and Monty for his contribution. This is Dan's project as he initiated this "jam"...
These two guys are really incredible. Using homemade analog synths, sampling, and some old keyboards found in a dumpster they create absolute fantastic sounds and rhythms. When they invited me to work on their song MULLIGAN REMIX I don't hesitated one moment and sent them a few days later my first ideas. This is my idea..so far. Electronic sounds with Pop-Rock elements. ZONK are working on a mix which I'm desperately waiting for. For everybody who loves electronic music it's a must to visit and listen to ZONK. Thank you guys for giving me this opportunity, I really enjoyed playing with your sounds and look forward to collaborate with you on some more projects.
http://www.vibe1076.co.uk/audio/podcasts//20120902rawvibes.mp3 . . MAMA CHILL was invited into the Vibe107.6 radio station on 2nd september to speak about the illness M.E. and played three trax off her last album and new E.P, she asked to add GIVE U. You can hear the interview with the song by clicking the link.
She has also her trax on a BBC website, where presenters can listen to them and play them if they like something &/or invite you into the studio to have your music played and have an interview.
So MAMA CHILL has visited as well on October the BBC three counties studio. I'm really happy for her, give her and all other people who are suffering M.E. my support. MAMA you are a really an amazing artist and wonderful person. I really recommend you to visit her page to listen her message which is her music.
There are a lot of Hip Hop musicians on Reverb. One really amazing voice comes from the U.K., MAMA CHILL
This rapper & singer has an amazing voice, unique among other artists of this genre. I highly recommend to visit her page. MAMA CHILL agreed on a common project and I feel proud and honored to have worked with this fantastic artist and person. Thank you very much MAMA for giving me the chance to make this project come to life and for your friendship which means a lot to me.
As I told Stacy, it sounds you two have worked together for years! Well written, well produced track.
Continued success.
One of the most outstanding ELECTRONICA artists here on Reverb is IONOLA.
His music and sounds are otherworldly with a real deep and intensive atmosphere, capturing you right from the beginning and taking you to a journey between time and space. I had the pleasure to work with him on APRIL MIX, a version of his original track APRIL DONE, and I am proud to have found as well a new friend. Thank you IONOLA for your cooperation and friendship.
Hellos. What can i say?... Realy glad....It is a pleasure to hear my song with a master like you playing trumpet, drums...and more !!!...my friend, you r the trumpet and me the bugle, you r better even in electronica way :o)) and wish you the best for your proyects...Thanx Mr JMOYA....Un saludo...ionoLa
This artist which I have the honor to consider my friend, has an impressive way to play his guitar. I recommend to check out his page and enjoy his tracks. He was so kind to ask me for a cooperation and with pleasure we worked together on 7's & 9's. Due to this great work we have already realized some more projects like e.g. THE HUNTER...FEELINGS and they will not be the last...
Thanks for your kind words JMOYA. The pleasure has been all mine working with you. Here's to your continued success my friend.
Feelings is a rock ballad, with the awesome lead guitar of Monty Johnson http://www.reverbnation.com/montyjohnson who has the skill to let his guitar sing like the greatest guitar player (CARLOS SANTANA, JOE SATRIANI, STEVE VAI, EDDY VAN HALEN). Thank you Monty for your friendship and collaboration. Without your participation these songs had never come to life or become such intensive.

POSTED: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 - 7:00pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 11:00am
CLEARWATER, FL - Wildlife authorities in Florida are asking for the public's help in locating a rhesus macaque monkey that is on the loose.
"We have an officer looking," said Gary Morse, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "Generally, the public has a lot more eyes than we do."
The primate was seen Tuesday leaping from a tree in Clearwater, and scampering through a parking lot and into some brush.
A commission officer and a trapper are at the ready in the area.
Elizabeth Watts, Clearwater's public safety spokeswoman, said that, to the best of her knowledge, police officers are not actively searching for the animal.
Morse has said the commission does not know where the animal came from.
Anyone who likes to keep a member of the species as a pet needs to get a permit, as monkeys are considered non-native wildlife and require special caging and care

Book Description:
Mindy Kaling loves to talk (Rainn Wilson has dubbed her The Office flibbertigibbet) and she loves to listen (back when she was babysitting for a living, her charges found in her an enthusiastic sounding-board for listing the pros and cons of marrying each band member of 'N Sync). In this deck of conversation starters, Mindy discusses her views on 50 witty and relatable subjects, along with accompanying questions to get you and your friends talking about things that really matter (best friend rights and responsibilities, how guys have to do almost nothing to be great, and other universal truths).

Nothing Like a Game 7 in the NBA Playoffs!
Kevin Durant was one of three star players Thursday night to help his team force a Game 7, with the Indiana Pacers' David West and Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry being the other two. KD had 36 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 104-84 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 6 of their Western Conference quarterfinals series. Will Durant have a repeat solid performance in Game 7 Saturday night? While that remains to be seen, BET.com decided to take liberty to showcase the NBA's best seven Game 7 moments. Nothing like a Game 7 in the NBA playoffs!

After winning the eighth largest Mega Millions jackpot, which they later decided to take in a lump sum of around $90 million, Jacki and Gilbert did interviews with KNBC news, CNBC and the "Today" show. Ellen DeGeneres wanted them.
Meanwhile, Jacki still hoped for tickets to "The Oprah Winfrey Show," especially since Oprah had announced the show was ending.
"I was desperate because she had said this is going to be my last season. I was like '(Does) anybody, anybody, know how I can get a ticket?'"
And then, what do you know, producers from "Oprah" came looking for her.
McCormick explains that they had an opening in an upcoming show: "All of a sudden we read this story about a woman who worked the news desk winning the lotto. We were all like, 'Let's do it.'"
While their mothers watched in the audience, Oprah interviewed Jacki and Gilbert about the sudden change in their lives.
"When she was talking to us, she was really, really interested. It wasn't just, 'What about this and what about that and OK, I have to get to the next segment.'"
During the conversation, thought bubbles popped up in Jacki's head: "Oh, wow, her eyelashes really do look like they look on TV." "Her hair is really healthy looking." "Her shoes, are they Louis Vuitton today? Yes, they are."
Oprah, who is worth an estimated $2.4 billion, gave the couple a bit of advice: "She was like, 'I'm just going to say this and you can take it or leave it. Don't feel guilty about the decisions you make. It's your money. What you give or don't give is up to you.'"

5 Reasons Children Might Be Performing Poorly in School
There are innumerable reasons why a child might be struggling academically at school. In my practice, this is one of the most common presenting complaints when a parent brings a child for an intake. The most important part of the treatment is often a thorough assessment.
Below are five main reasons which may cause children to perform poorly in school.

FRIDAY, June 15 (HealthDay News) -- An eye test measuring ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) can be performed by ophthalmologists to detect severe carotid artery stenosis (CAS), a known risk factor for stroke, according to a study published in the June issue of Ophthalmology.
Pascal B. Knecht, M.D., from the University Hospital of Zurich, and colleagues used dynamic contour tonometry to measure the OPA on both eyes of 42 men and 25 women (mean age, 67 years) and evaluate its accuracy as a screening test for CAS.
The researchers found that the means of the OPA values differed significantly in patients with no CAS (less than 50 percent blockage) compared to patients with severe stenosis (70 percent or greater blockage) (P = 0.036). A multivariate analysis, using risk factors for CAS, including age, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides, showed a statistically significant odds ratio for the ability of downstream OPA measurements to predict CAS of 70 percent or greater (odds ratio, 0.46; P = 0.007).
"The results of the present study provide proof of principle that the OPA is reduced in patients with CAS and may be used as a noninvasive, inexpensive, readily available, and unconfounded screening parameter to detect CAS and possibly to reduce the incidence of stroke," the authors conclude.

Cubs Convention LIVE: Dale Sveum and His Coaching Staff
With the Cubs prospects having just wrapped up, we pick up the panel with the big league coaching staff already in progress. Refresh for updates.
12:30 Jamie Quirk is answering a fan question about advance scouting and preparation. The hitters go over opposing pitchers each series, with hitting coach James Rowson and other coaches walking through each one. The pitching coaches go over all the hitters from the opposing hitters. And players look at video on their own. For relievers who warm up, bullpen coach Lester Strode uses his binder to walk through upcoming hitters once again.
12:33 Dave McKay says that, despite having been with the Cardinals organization for over a decade, he's never been in a clubhouse that is so prepared. There's an incredible amount of background, behind-the-scenes work that goes into this. But you have to break down what's important and what's just noise.
12:34 On advanced stats that the coaching staff uses, Sveum says they do have access to and utilize some—but he jokingly adds that the front office has some so advanced they don't even share it with them. Bottom-line stats that he uses: OPS on the offensive side. Anything over .800 is good, over .750 in the middle infield. Pitcher WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) and to strike out more and walk less. But ultimately it comes down to players playing and executing.
12:38 Rob Deer, the Cubs' new assistant hitting coach, tells players, "Do I say, not as I did." He has always had a passion for hitting. He preaches to hitters about their two-strike approach and using the whole field. You will not hear him talk about hitting a home run—that's the product of the right approach and situation. Their motto is to be "selectively aggressive." And Deer adds he is very grateful to be on the coaching staff.
Cubs Convention LIVE: From Draft Day to the Big Leagues
Our second live blog of the day covers the long road to the big leagues with several of the club's top prospects. Dalles Beeler, Rob Whitenack, Matt Szczur and Tony Zych are on stage and taking questions now! Refresh for updates.
11:28 Szczur is asked about the choice to play baseball instead of football. He says a big part was being able to play the game without a lot of the wear and tear, and injuries, that come with football. In terms of how football helped his game, he says that it's how he brings an aggressive mentality to the field, while acknowledging that it has had its drawbacks in that area as well.
11:30 Asked about game preparation and advanced information available in the minors, Szczur says he likes to peak at the pitchers' spreadsheets to understand how pitchers are attacking hitters like him. He says they also have a lot of video available to them, even in the minors.
Whitenack likes to look at opponents' stats and pitching charts that track each pitch thrown. He also consults video to see what may have gotten a hitter out in a previous confrontation. "You try to expose that until they prove they can hit it."
Beeler says the pitchers get a packet for each series, with spray charts, tendencies and other information. He says that it's not really about pitching to hitters' weaknesses but instead to play your strengths against their weaknesses. It's a subtle difference that shows how much the player-development staff teaches to these young players.
11:33 Player role models:
Beeler: Roy Halladay, saying that he models his mechanics and style after the veteran righty.
Whitenack: Derek Jeter for always coming to play.
Szczur: Shane Victorino, clarifying that he WAS a Phillies fan.
Zych: Also Derek Jeter, as well as Mariano Rivera for how he pitches and works hard.
Cubs Convention LIVE: Meet Cubs Baseball Management
We're ready for our first live blog of the day, with the Cubs' baseball decision-makers: Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer, Shiraz Rehman and Randy Bush will be taking questions for the next hour. Great panel and great way to start your morning with us. Keep refreshing for updates!
10:00 We've kicked off, and the panel is talking about what they've learned after a year with the Cubs. Jed says that he understood from last Convention that this is a "public trust." Referring to the reaction to 1960s players from last night's opening video: "We want to build that core and that kind of group. When people show these players 25 years from now, we want them to be able to cheer."
10:05 Dale is asked about next year's starting center fielder, and he replies that right now it looks like David DeJesus will be out there. The crowd gives its approval.
10:08 Shiraz says that there are still details to work out on pitcher Carlos Villanueva, but they're excited to add him to the club.
Randy says to watch out for Nick Struck, in response to the fan's other question about pitching prospects ready to help. You can read about him in the February issue of Vine Line!
2013 Cubs Convention is up and running
The 28th annual Cubs Convention kicked off tonight in the Grand ballroom of the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers.
A per tradition, the Convention kicked off with the Opening Ceremonies. Cubs owner Tom Ricketts began by talking about his family's commitment to achieving three goals: winning a world championship, preserving Wrigley Field and being a good neighbor in Chicago. He also spoke about Chicago Cubs Charities work with the RBI Program (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) and introduced a group of kids and coaches from the program.
The Chicago Cubs RBI program is run through the Union League Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and supported through a grant from Cubs Care, which provides $100,000 to fund the entire effort. RBI offers nearly 300 inner city youth the opportunity to play ball and participate in weekend tournaments. Ricketts announced that 11 high school seniors of the Chicago Cubs RBI program have been offered college scholarships to play baseball next year.
After a video about the team, the players entered the hall down a red carpet that ran through the middle of the crowd. This allowed fans an opportunity to interact with the 2013 team. The Cubs introduced veteran players, including new veteran Kerry Wood, and some of the top prospects, who have been in town all week as part of the Rookie Development Program. Fans also got a chance to see many of the newest Cubs, including free agent signee Edwin Jackson, up close.
The evening ended with an autograph hunt game that saw players, prospects and alumni scattered all over the Convention hall. Top prospects Matt Szczur and Javier Baez joined us at the Vine Line booth.
The Convention starts back up tomorrow morning with the Ricketts Family Forum at 9 a.m.
Vine Line LIVE from the 2013 Cubs Convention

Top rookies learn to play the Cubs Way

Since Theo Epstein was named Cubs President of Baseball Operations in November 2011, the organization has been stressing the Cubs Way. After getting a full season to view their minor league talent, upper management decided to give a select group of prospects a small crash course on what Cubs baseball is all about.
Starting last Friday, 12 prospects the organization feels are knocking on the major league door have been in Chicago for the club's first annual Rookie Development Program. The prospects have spent their time going to seminars, practicing at Northwestern University and getting better acclimated to the ways of major league baseball.
"The whole thought behind it really is to get some players in the minor leagues … expose them to the market, get them in a smaller group and talk about what to expect when they get here, how to be professionals, how to handle the media, how to deal with the fans," said Senior Vice President of Scouting and Player Development Jason McLeod.
The minor leaguers, including notables Javier Baez, Matt Szczur and Trey McNutt, have received instruction from former pitcher Kerry Wood, Bears linebacker Nick Roach and current pitching coach Chris Bosio. Former Cub Mark Prior was scheduled to fly in and speak to the group Thursday, though he is unable to make this weekend's Cubs Convention.
Today's low-key practice saw the pitchers throw a little long toss before getting on a mound, while the position players took fielding practice and eventually got some rounds in the batting cages.
The organization's player and pitcher of the year, Logan Watkins and Nick Struck, were both in attendance. Others joining them were Dallas Beeler, Jae-Hoon Ha, Marcus Hatley, Barret Loux, Zach Rosscup, Robert Whitenack and Tony Zych. All players at the program are scheduled to be at this weekend's Cubs Convention.

On Wednesday, two buses filled with Cubs players and personnel visited local schools, hospitals, a fire house and a military base as part of the 2013 Cubs Caravan. During one of the stops, Steve Clevenger, Tony Campana and Mike Borzello (from left) read books to children at the Merlo branch of the Chicago Public Library.
The tour continues tomorrow with stops at several schools and hospitals around the area.

The 28th Annual Cubs Convention kicks off Friday at a brand new location, the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers. The event will welcome Starlin Castro, Anthony Rizzo, Jeff Samardzija, Darwin Barney, and more than 50 former, current and future Cubs.
This got us thinking about some of the greats who have graced past Conventions, like Harry and Ronnie. So who are you excited to see this year?
