Body Transformation: Endorphin Explosion
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
BodySpace: mdavid3079
WEIGHT 220 lbs
WEIGHT 190 lbs
I'm 53 years old and have been active for most of my life. I retired from the U.S. Army as a chief warrant officer after serving for 21 years. Upon retirement, I was sworn into a fairly large police department outside Washington D.C. in northern Virginia. I'm currently semi-retired and living in the East Valley of Phoenix, Arizona. My wife, Holly Hawkins, and I are proud parents of seven children and have four grandchildren. I want to set an example for my family to live a healthy, fit, lean, and strong lifestyle.
I have suffered from depression for many years, which contributed to my resignation from public service in 2005. After leaving public service, my downward mental health spiral continued. It was like living in a black hole. As a result, I focused less on the gym and my physical health. It got to a point where the scale topped at 220 pounds. Although I was still going to the gym on occasion, I wasn't happy with my body. The number of anti-depressants and other medications I was on increased and I became uninspired and lethargic.
I looked in the mirror and thought, Enough is enough! In July 2009, I quit all anti-depressants cold turkey, which isn't recommended, and hit the gym with a vengeance. After several weeks, my workout-induced endorphins took the place of the calm I received from prescription medications. The problem was I failed to tie in my nutrition with my workouts. Although I was getting stronger and leaner, I still didn't have the physique I was working for and capable of obtaining.
In December 2011, I made a resolution to achieve a physique that would set me apart from most people my age with a dream to compete in a physique show. I consulted an online trainer and cover model, Melih F. Cologlu, and my journey began. Within a few weeks, I started seeing my abdominal muscles for the first time.
By training smart and understanding nutrition's role in the transformation process, I currently possess a physique I'm proud of. This is a lifelong journey with no end. My depression is in check and I have never felt healthier. My subsequent annual physical confirms my feelings. Living healthy, fit, lean and strong is the only way.
Initially, I picked up where I left off. I have a tendency to be a cardio addict and started every workout with 45-60 minutes on the elliptical and spent an hour lifting weights. I didn't have a clear-cut workout plan and trained a different body part every day.
One day, my order from Bodybuilding.com arrived with Body By Design by Kris Gethin. I read the book and felt newfound motivation to accomplish my goals to get healthy, fit, lean, and strong. I varied my workouts and intensity, and adjusted my cardio programs based on the information and workouts provided. I got a better understanding of nutrition and how it affects my workouts.
In December 2011, after working out for a solid year and still not enjoying the results of my hard work, I decided it was time to consult a professional. After weeks of research, I hired online trainer Melih F. Cologlu. Under the guidance of Melih, I started understanding the importance of nutrition. Throughout 2012, I learned to treat food as fuel for my workouts.
Another mistake I made was a lack of intensity. I always thought I was pushing it. Melih's workouts were designed to transform my physique and the results showed. I also learned to cut back on cardio and use HIIT.
Additionally, I learned that time spent doing thousands of crunches in the past could've been spent elsewhere. I have a new respect and understanding for proper abdominal training and nutrition to achieve the ripped mid-section I strived for.

My biggest problem was nutrition. At first, it was hard to consume all the food planned for the day.
I entered my first physique contest in November 2012 at the NPC Western Regionals. I didn't place. However, just stepping onstage was a major accomplishment. I plan to compete again next July and November and will present an even more fit/lean package. This isn't about reaching a goal; it's a lifestyle that enhanced my quality of life.
No one can want this for you; you have to want it. The phrase "No one said it would be easy" is absolutely correct! You have to reach far outside your comfort zone and go after your dream. I did this transformation at 53 with proper nutrition and training.
There are many resources out there. Bodybuilding.com is an excellent choice. Many people on BodySpace post their workouts. Body by Design is a great book because it outlines many people who have overcome obstacles. After training and deciding I wanted to compete, I found a trainer who could bring me to those goals.
Receiving the surprise book by Kris Gethin early on in one of my orders was amazing. I also think BodySpace is a fantastic tool for everyone. Bodybuilding.com's affordable supplements always arrive in a timely manner. No other online supplier matches the speed and accuracy of orders I make with Bodybuilding.com.

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it, Fitness has changed my entire life!

Thanks! I truly believe that intense exercise and living a fit and healthy lifestyle is the only true fountain of youth!
What a great inspirational story. Being of a similar age, I aspire to follow in Mike's footstep as I continue my own transformation. Keep inspiring my friend!!
Thanks! You have quite the story too my friend, looking forward to seeing it on here!
Thank you!
From now on I am going to "hit the gym with vengeance." This article is great and very inspirational. Keep up the hard work.
Thank you for your kind words!!
Awesome story! Keep up the good work man! Very inspirational..
Thank you! I appreciate it!!
Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it!
You are an inspiration for young people. Truely an amazing job. Congrats and good luck for your future.
One of my goals for my family, to be the example my children and grandchildren to follow! Thank you for your kind words!
Hi Michael, your story is like a dose of pure motivation! Thanks a million. I'm older, but still lifting with no plans on stopping, I have not found anything better than lifting for stress control and mood regulation. The way you kept looking for smarter ways to train is something I want to do also, so that I can be more efficient in reaching goals (on top of having the good feeling, of course). Best wishes on your continued success!
Than you so much! really appreciate the comment and support!
Mike, you look better now then when we were serving in Korea 20 years ago! You inspire me!
Thanks Toney!!! Can't believe it was that long ago..****!!
Michael gotta say wow you really have put in the hard yards both physically and mentally and thank you for being up front about depression. I think a lot of us are still so scared to be open about the battles we face with this.
Keep up the amazing work buddy
Mike looks fantastic, but I have to say his before shot is still pretty great (and way more impressive than 99.9% of 50 somethings!) However, it's one thing to get from overweight to in shape - it's even harder to go from in shape to competition standard. So well done.
People who are not into healthy lifestyle and fitness would look at the first picture and say "what a heck is he talking about? Felt bad about his physic???". I must say you looked great on the first picture, and you look amazing now! Last year I decided to make alike change in my physic and lifestyle. I used gym as "antidepressant medicine" and eventually it became a norm and addiction. Hard work and dedication always pays off. Your example is a prove that everything is possible as long as you really want something in life. You are great inspiration to many people and I wish you the best. Keep rocking! :)
Very insiring article. Many thanks, keep up the great work. After a close death in my family 3 years back, I felt lost and hopeless. Getting back into the gym and running a half marathon was great therapy for me, and for anyone. Take care,

Today I realized that I haven't made popsicles all summer long. This is unacceptable. We got a watermelon last week that just wasn't all that. The flavor was good but the texture was a little "eh". So I found this recipe for Watermelon Pineapple Popsicles online and gave it a go. YUM! It makes about a dozen popsicles.
More fantastic food photography on my part. I am continually amazed that Food and Wine isn't knocking on my door for my mad, mad skills.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Milwaukee's Five O'Clock Steakhouse to be on 'Steak Paradise' Wednesday night
You can catch the Five O'Clock Steakhouse, 2416 W. State St., on the "Steak Paradise" premiere tonight at 9 on the Travel Channel.
The episode was filmed in August at the restaurant, formerly known as Ted Coerper's 5 O'Clock Club.
The restaurant is throwing a viewing party tonight for 65 previously selected guests in its recently renovated second-floor private room, the Alley Cat Lounge.
The steakhouse, now owned by Georgia Papadopoulos, is marking its 65th anniversary this year with drink specials: sparkling wine and select drinks harking to its 1948 debut for 65 cents, with the purchase of an entree, on Tuesdays through Fridays through June 29.

KATHMANDU: Nepal and China have signed a memorandum of understanding on air service extension that, among others, allows airline companies of both the countries to conduct 56 flights per week to each other's country. The number of these weekly flights will be increased to 63 by 2015 and 70 by 2016, the MoU says.
The MoU was signed by secretary at the ministry of culture, tourism and civil aviation Sushil Ghimire and deputy administrator at the Civil Aviation Administration of China Xia Xinghua on behalf of Nepal and China, respectively, on Monday.
The MoU allows cargo aircraft of any type to conduct unrestricted number of flights to both the countries. Likewise, Nepali airlines can now also fly to Xian apart from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Lhasa, Kunming, while Chinese airlines can now fly to two other destinations in Nepal other than Kathmandu, the MoU says.
However, if the majority of the stake in Nepal-based airline companies are held by foreign companies or nationals, approval must be sought from China's Aeronautical Authority prior to making flights.

Costamare boosted third quarter revenue by nearly 13 percent from a year to $99.9 million, as the Greek container ship owner signed a loan facility that could finance expansion of one of the world's biggest charter fleets.
The NYSE-listed company's profit declined to $17.4 million from $23.8 million. Profit jumped to $30.9 million from $25 million after stripping out book losses on derivatives and other items.
The Athens-based company signed a loan facility for up to $120 million with a major European financial institution using some of its debt-free ships as collateral. The facility, which is available through the third quarter of 2012, is for general corporate purposes and fleet expansion.
The company expects a "limited" financial impact from the running aground of its container ship Rena off the New Zealand coast on October 5 because it has insurance cover for the incident. The 3,032 20-foot equivalent units vessel, which was on a five-year charter to Mediterranean Shipping Co, has been declared a constructive total loss for insurance purposes.
Costamare has now concluded funding for all ships on order. "The latest loan agreements signed with European, Asian and U.S. banks provide for 80 percent leverage at very attractive terms," said Chief Financial Officer Gregory Zikos.
Costamare has a fleet of 60 ships, including 10 on order and one second-hand unit to be delivered, with a combined capacity of about 330,000 20-foot equivalent container units.

Process Heating Solutions for the Pulp & Paper Industry
In 1945, Pick Heaters developed and patented a unique concept of Direct Steam Injection Heating. The original approach has remained unaltered...keep it simple and self-stabilizing, minimize moving parts and make it completely reliable regardless of operating environment. It is this design philosophy that has Pick at the heart of heating for over 60 years in industries ranging from pulp and paper to food, chemical and pharmaceutical processing.
Direct Steam Injection is much more energy efficient than its competitive method, Indirect Heat Exchange.
In Direct Steam Injection, steam is instantly blended into the process fluid, resulting in 100% heat transfer with full use of both the latent and sensible heat. There is no condensate to trap and recover.
100% of your costly BTU's are used.
Pick injects steam under pressure directly into the liquid. Because 100% of the steam is instantly condensed into the liquid, 100% of the BTU's are used.
Because the Pick Direct Steam Injection system is 100% energy efficient, it can save up to 28% of the fuel required with indirect heat exchangers. The fuel savings with a Pick heater will pay for the heater many times over during the life of the system.
But, What Happens To The Condensate?
Indirect heat exchangers do not consume steam, resulting in condensate. The condensate is then discharged through a trap and returned to a flash tank. A portion of the condensate is lost due to flashing and must be replaced with cold water.
With Pick Heaters, you simply do not have to give condensate a second thought. The condensate is USED, not lost. It contributes to the discharge stream. The total water consumption is unchanged. Elimination of flash losses yields improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs. Steam is completely consumed and no condensate is returned. Flash losses are eliminated, as is the need for a flash tank.
A Pick Representative can show you how a Pick Heater can reduce not only your energy bills, but your total operating costs. For further information, please visit:

According to the Greek mythology, the phoenix was a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.
Spanning over the past quarter of a century in power, the sheer arrogance vented bluntly by particular prominent characters forming part of the high echelons of GonziPN, has literally reduced the Nationalist Party into ashes. Throughout the past months the whole nation had the chance to hear public declarations by disgruntled Nationalists, including ex-ministers, lamenting that the topography of the Party that once was their inspiration has changed to an extent that it is unrecognizable.
Closer to Verdict
Within the past months the main mission of GonziPN, even if it meant to limp on crutches, was to prolong the existence of his crippling government to the extreme limit possible notwithstanding that this led to; political instability, parliament rendered into talk show, a minister had to resign without being replaced, an ambassador had to resign, votes of confidence pass with the speaker's casting vote, etc. Maneuvers, swaying and swerving to avoid the pitfalls similarly to the way a chess grand master avoids checkmate position.
The writing is on the wall and no matter how much GonziPN maneuvers to avoid the fated, surely that the people's judgment cannot be prevented. Despite the fact that parliamentary majority has melted away, he persisted to go ahead with presenting a Budget and forcing rebel representative with no option but to pull the plug!
Simon the Cyrenian
One of the latest chess moves by GonziPN was to inject 'new' blood into the high echelons give the impression of rejuvenation and transformation. MEP Simon Busuttil has been elected as deputy leader after contesting post together with cabinet backed finance minister, Tonio Fenech.
Undoubtedly that Dr Busuttil is no newcomer to local politics at all. He has been close and part and parcel of GonziPN for the past decade. Indisputably, Simon descents from the same breed forming part of GonziPN's body and soul. Some time ago, he was publicly handpicked by the Premier as his 'special delegate' and in all probability involved in all maneuvers that characterized that past months of the legislature.
Similarly to the biblical Simon of Cyrene, Dr Busuttil decided to jump from back to front seat, precisely, as according to him, it was his turn to attempt within the coming weeks to resuscitate GonziPN and render it electable. Self-declaring, Dr Busuttil was involved in the shaping and penning of GonziPN's electoral manifesto 2008 and forthcoming one, he was a household face during last electoral campaign, wholeheartedly involved in the last MEP's electoral campaign and the appointed link between GonziPN and civil society.
Publicly divulging that now it was his turn to vow for his leader and become the mythical Atlas shouldering the whole world of GonziPN upon his shoulder.
Two Facets
Simon as a politician projects two facets; the soft spoken, articulated, smart, scholarly, knowledgeable and brainy on the European level as an MEP, and the tribal, provincial, insular, unsophisticated, conservative and conventional on the local level as dictated by the convenience of votes. The two facets of Simon are miles apart and the personal success obtained as an MEP, which was much individually attributed, does not necessary mean that it can be replicated as party deputy leader, were the success now depends more on the collective and shouldering the responsibilities of blunders throughout the past legislature.
Definitely, it is herculean task to resuscitate the phoenix from the ashes and although he might succeed in controlling some of the damage, surely cannot overturn the fate of GonziPN. At present building a bridge with cabinet ministers is a top priority for him.
A Future that Unites Us
Meanwhile, irrespective of the scaremongering campaign launched by GonziSimonPN we shall continue to focus on voicing the peoples' woes and pronouncing proposals that would alleviate the standard of living, especially those who are struggling to make both ends meet.
We shall urgently be embarking on improving the educational system to encourage more students to continue with their educational voyage. Our proposal in this regard is that the highest percentage of students will continue with post-secondary education, else will be directed to attend necessary training to join the workforce.
A sound educational system shall be our mission, as this will guarantee that our country will continue to progress and evolve in Europe and be competitive in international markets.

Brain Injury Facts
Signs and symptoms may include:
- Fatigue
- Memory problems
- Trouble problem solving
- Difficulty finding words
- Irritability
- Difficulty making decisions
- Inability to concentrate
- Personality changes
- Trouble organizing thoughts
- Easily confused
Types of Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury to the head caused by an external physical force. Most traumatic brain injuries are caused by accidents or assaults to the skull that are sufficiently hard to cause the brain to move within the skull or to cause the skull to break and directly injure the brain. TBI may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness and an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning. It may also result in the disturbance of behavioral or emotional functioning. The damage can be focal, confined to one area of the brain, or diffuse, involving more than one area of the brain.
Causes of TBI include:
- Domestic violence and assaults
- Falls
- Motor vehicle crashes
- Shaken baby syndrome
- Sports and recreational accidents
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services released a Special Emphasis Report on Traumatic Brain Injury in 2010 which holds the most recent statistics on traumatic brain injury in the Commonwealth. Click here to view this report.
An acquired or non-traumatic brain injury (ABI) refers to any type of brain damage occurring after birth that is not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or the result of an external impact. Acquired brain injury takes place at the cellular level of the brain and may result in mild, moderate, or severe impairments in one or more areas, including cognition, physical functions, and psycho-social behavior.
Causes of ABI or non-traumatic brain injury include:
- Brain tumors, intracranial tumors, intracranial surgery
- Excessive drug and alcohol abuse
- Lack of oxygen caused by an airway obstruction, such as in near-drowning
- Seizure disorder
- Stroke or aneurysm

I have also shot outside at night where I could identify the target but would not be able to easily see sites that were not their own light source.
Sure, there are times it's too dark to ID a target without a light source. Sure, there are times it's kinda dark and you could see a fiber optic site.
But there are tons of times you can ID the target and the tritium lets you see your sites (or lets you pick them up more quickly)

AN AUDIO SNAPSHOT REVIEWIn the movie The Lost Medallion nice guy Daniel is cornered into telling some orphan kids a story. The only problem is, he doesn't know any good ones. So he decides to make up a tale on the spot, using traits of the young orphan kids themselves. He weaves a fantastic yarn of a junior adventurer named Billy who comes upon a lost medallion that's imbued with great magical power. In fact, it's so powerful that Billy accidentally wishes himself and his best friend Allie 200 years back in time to when the medallion was first lost. The people of that age quickly recognize the artifact and want to make Billy their king. But this isn't going to be a cushy gig for the young boy. There's another young would-be king in the tribe. And he's none too happy about this interloper. Not only that, but an evil warlord named Cobra wants to get his mitts on that powerful medallion and enslave everyone. Will Billy and Allie be able to beat the bad guy? Will Daniel's story connect with his orphaned listeners and teach some solid lessons? Only time will tell.This tween-focused flick does indeed have some solid things to say about facing your fears, making good friends and taking steps to shape your future. It even speaks of God's love and hand in our lives. There are a few villainous tense moments in the mix, but the overall outcome is fun.

Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) -- Abdullah, a 9-year-old orphaned by Syria's civil war, was piled in to van by his uncle as gunfire rattled around them. One of the last things the boy says he saw in his hometown was the uncle falling, shot, as the van full of strangers took him away on a treacherous, 3-day journey to neighboring Lebanon.
Once in Beirut, the boy fell into the hands of a criminal gang specialized in exploiting the most vulnerable victims of the conflict next door. They put him to work selling flowers and gum on the street, beating him if he didn't bring them enough money.
The conflict that has ravaged Syria for more than 2

The motivation for this post begins nearly a decade ago, which is kind of amazing, if you think about it, because Rand and I were very much a couple, even then.
Can you imagine being with someone for more than a whole decade? It's pure madness, and not at all the point of this post.
Anywho, it was ten years ago or so, and Rand and I were in a teeny tiny one-bedroom in North Seattle trying this newfangled service called Netflix. I was going through a phase where, for reasons that still sort of make sense to me now, I refused to watch any movie that didn't star Cary Grant.
I'm sure you'll agree: that was a reasonable and somewhat noble demand on my part.
So Rand went through Netflix's entire library and queued up practically all of Cary Grant's canon. It was wonderful, particularly when the 20-something iteration of the man I later married would drop a quote into casual conversation.
"Hasn't it occurred to you that I'm having a tough time keeping my hands off you?"
Cue lots and lots of swooning. (more…)

We will be welcoming a baby.... BOY!
He is big and healthy! He weighed in at 11oz, is 9 inches long and is a week ahead of where he is supposed to be, so they may end up changing my DD again. Everything looked good. I will find out if the blood issue has changed at all at my next appointment, which is 10/12. Overall, we are so happy he is healthy and doing well!
P.S. I forgot to mention that DH is ecstatic we're having another boy... imagine that.

Congratulations!!! You're going to be the queen in a houseful of men, haha. I think it's going to be awesome for you watching the three of them grow up all together with that special bond between brothers. Good luck with your grocery bill when they're all teenagers

How are you feeling about everything? I remember when I found out my third was a boy, I needed to grieve for a day or two over the daughter I wouldn't have. -I wasn't sad about the boy...just sad that there was no girl...if that makes sense. Then after I got that out of my system, I got way excited for my boy and got a couple new super cute boy outfits!

"He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander. Born in 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland, and he is still alive. He is immortal. For four hundred years, he's been a warrior... a lover... a wanderer, constantly facing other Immortals in combat to the death. The winner takes his enemy's head, and with it, his power. I am a Watcher, part of a secret society of men and women who observe and record, but never interfere. We know the truth about Immortals. In the end, there can be only one. May it be Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander."Highlander: The Series was the 1992-1997 series that was inspired by the popular Highlander film franchise. It starred British actor Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod, the younger kinsman of the film's central character, Connor MacLeod. Initially, there was uncertainty as to whether the film character would be recast or a new character created; even Adrian Paul wasn't certain who he would be playing for a time. But the decision was made to develop a whole new character for the series.The central premise was a bit predictable at times; Duncan would encounter an old immortal enemy, or an immortal friend with someone after him, and the episode would end with Duncan battling his opponent and beheading them. Modern day scenes were interspersed with flashbacks from earlier periods in Duncan's life, usually his first encounter with the enemy of the week. The constant violence did draw criticism at times, and eventually, the networks required that a couple of episodes each season end without a beheading. Even these episodes, however, still usually featured a situation that Duncan could only escape because he was immortal, Unfortunately, these episodes tend to be the least popular of the whole series.There were some unavoidable Continuity Snarls between the films and the series, though many things were retconned to fit in with the series canon. Still, the series managed to be appealing to fans of the film franchise, and it gained a cult following that still exists today.The series was a French-Canadian co-production, which resulted in Duncan beginning each season in the fictional city of Seacouver, in the Pacific Northwest of North America, either the US or Canada. The name was actually Ascended Fanon, the city originally had no name and the Fan Nickname combining Seattle and Vancouver was eventually adopted. Midway through the season, something would prompt Duncan to travel to Paris, where he would spend the rest of the season. The exception to this was Season 6, which took place entirely in Paris.Initially, the core cast was Duncan, played by Adrian Paul; Duncan's longtime lover, Tessa Noel, played by Belgian actress Alexandra Vandernoot; and Richie Ryan, a streetwise teen befriended by Duncan after he attempted to break into Mac's antique shop, played by American actor Stan Kirsch. But Vandernoot didn't like the long commutes for the Canada half of the season, and chose to leave the series after season 1, when her father became ill. However, she did return for a two part plot as a Tessa lookalike Magic Plastic Surgery gambit intended to take Duncan out.The series' other two characters were introduced after Vandernoot's departure. Jim Byrnes played Joe Dawson, Duncan's friend and a member of the Watchers, a secret society dedicated to recording the lives of the immortals they studied. They were forbidden from contacting their subjects, but Joe and Duncan broke the rules and ultimately changed the group forever. Peter Wingfield played Methos, the 5,000 year old legendary immortal who was once "Death" of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and terrorized Bronze Age Europe. Another recurring character was Duncan's on and off lover Amanda Darieux, the 1,000yr old immortal Classy Cat-Burglar whom Duncan once described as a 'bad habit'.There was a large Internet Backdraft and fan backlash following the death of one of the characters at the end of season 5, and many fans choose to deny the sixth season even exists. It is agreed that the show suffered a big drop in episode quality in season 6, whose episodes were primarily an attempt to find a female character other than Amanda to use in a spinoff. Initially, the character of Alex Raven was to be used, leading to the spinoff being named Highlander: The Raven, but it was ultimately decided to use Amanda anyway.The series also featured in the fourth and fifth films, Highlander: Endgame and Highlander: The Source, neither of which was well received by fans.Has a character page.The entire show can viewed on Youtube here

Skrillex, the Most Sought After Man in Music
Posted: Aug 12, 2012 by Sean Young
Sonny John Moore aka Skrillex is only 24.
That's right, 24 years old. This is amazing considering the magnitude of his contribution the the music industry. A large number of Skrillex fans aren't aware of his pre electronic days, where he was the lead singer of the Emo/punk band from First To Last. I was living in Florida at the time, and was fortunate enough to see them at the Vans Warped Tour. That scene was massive back then, and Sonny stood out with his unique vocal sound.
Growing up, Sonny was always a fan of electronic music, and ended up playing a few DJ sets overseas, and messing around in the Lab, and before long, the powerhouse that we see today was created.
Sonny's background singing, and playing several instruments gave him a solid musical foundation, that many of todays artists lack. Another advantage,and somewhat unknown fact, is that Skrillex records his own vocals, and samples them for his songs. This enables him to not only skip the rigorous process of having the samples approved, but he also saves a fortune. It also gives him the ability to have a unique and consistent sound.
Skrillex has the most uncanny ability, to make the dirtiest electro sound incredibly melodic, and palatable for a slightly wider audience than some of his tour mates and counterparts. This ability has garnered him attention throughout the entire music industry, and he was recently selected to partner with the remaining members of The Doors, to collaborate on a track Breakin a Sweat, for the documentary Regeneration, which focuses on pairing artists from different generations to make collaborations.
His work has also garnered the attention and respect of the entire Electro scene, recently working with Nero,……..
The latest man to track down Skrillex was Kanye West. Yes, Thee Kanye West. The partnership is a match made in heaven in my opinion, as Kanye is always keen to experiment with new sounds, and Sonny is never one to fall short. I can't wait to hear this release, which Sonny claims will be the Intro track on Kanye's upcoming album.
To top it all off, he is a really fun guy to party with, and really humble, which is rare in this industry. And Sonny, if you are reading this, you still owe me a pack of Cigarettes.

From NeoRouterWiki
Add-ons extend NeoRouter and let you perform additional tasks over the virtual network.
This is a new feature in NeoRouter version 0.9.4 and above.
Add-ons extend NeoRouter Network Explorer and let you perform additional tasks over the virtual network.
Add-on launch pad
If you click on a computer in the computer list, a popup dialog will display a list of actions you can take to remotely control and access this computer. This dialog is called the add-on launch pad.
- Screenshots on Windows
- Screenshots on Mac
NeoRouter Network Explorer has a few system default add-ons. If a computer is online, the following add-ons are available:
|remote desktop connection
|file sharing
|ICMP ping
|copy the IP address
If a computer is offline, the following add-ons are supported:
|remote wakeup
Note on remote wakeup: NeoRouter server can send the Magic packet and wake up hosts that are WOL enabled. If the NeoRouter server is installed on a router, remote wakeup works for hosts directly attached to this router. If server is installed on Windows, Linux or Mac, remote wakeup works for hosts in the same physical LAN. To enable WOL, you may need to change BIOS and OS settings.
Manage Add-ons (Windows)
You can download additional add-ons from the NeoRouter download website (http://www.neorouter.com/addons/index.html) and install them using the Add-on Manager. Here we use UltraVNC as an example to explain the setup process.
1. Launch NeoRouter Network Explorer, choose menu "File - Add-ons".
2. The Add-ons Manager dialog lists all the existing add-ons, including system default ones and those installed by user.
3. To find more add-ons, click on the "Add-ons Gallery" link at the bottom of the dialog, or visit http://www.neorouter.com/addons/index.html in your browser.
Download the add-on (*.nri) file to your computer. We will use UltraVNC as an example here.
4. Go back to the Add-ons Manager dialog, click on "Install..." button, locate the *.nri file you just downloaded, and click "Open" to install the addon.
5. Some add-ons, including UltraVNC, may require user to restart the NeoRouter Network Explorer to complete the installation. In such case you will see the following message box. You can exit NeoRouter Network Explorer by right click its icon in system tray and choose exit.
6. After installation, you will see the new add-ons show up in the list.
7. When you re-launch NeoRouter Network Explorer, UltraVNC server will be started automatically. If you have not run UltraVNC server before, you will see the following firewall warning and VNC configuration dialog.
Please click the unblock button when you see the following dialog.
Please enter VNC password then click the Ok button.
8. Repeat the above steps on another computer.
9. To launch VNC viewer and access a remote computer, choose the computer in the computer list, and click VNC viewer icon in the launch pad.
Manage Add-ons (Mac)
a.Launch NeoRouter Network Explorer; choose menu "File - Add-ons".
b. The Add-ons Manager dialog lists all the existing add-ons, including system default ones and those added by user.
c. An add-on is essentially an apple script with NeoRouter parameters. Here are some examples:
|Copy IP
|set the clipboard to "$NRIPAddress"
|tell application "Terminal" to do script "ping $NRIPAddress"
|Shared Folder
|tell application "Finder" to open location "smb://$NRIPAddress"
Variables $NRIPAddress and $NRComputerName will be replaced with the IP and name of the selected computer before the add-on is executed.
d. You can also create new add-ons or edit existing ones using the Add-On Properties dialog.
e. To learn more about Apple Script, please visit the following websites:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript
- http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptX/AppleScriptX.html
Create custom add-on (Advanced)
You can customize an add-on or even create your own.
As an example, I will show you how to create an add-on to get the system info of an remote computer using PsTools by Mark Russinovich and systeminfo.exe command shipped with Windows.
1. Launch NeoRouter Network Explorer, open Add-ons Manager dialog
2. Click "+" button to create a new add-on
3. In add-on properties dialog, enter the following:
Add-on name: psexec systeminfo Command: cmd.exe /C "c:\pstools\psexec.exe \\%NRIPAddress% -u <username> systeminfo & pause" Please replace <username> with username on the remote computer Comment: Get SystemInfo of remote machine using psexec Startup Type: Manual Icon: click "Change Icon" button to choose one that's easy to recognize.
- In the command, you can use Windows environment variables or NeoRouter variables like "%NRIPAddress%". If you click on the "..." button next to the Command edit box, you will see the "Edit Command" dialog with a list of variables you can use.
- Three "Startup types" are supported:
Manual: the add-on will be displayed in the launchpad of the Network Explorer, and user manually launch the program. Automatic after signing in: the add-on command is automatically executed when user signs into NeoRouter Network Explorer. Automatic after Windows starts: the add-on command is automatically executed when Windows starts.
4. To launch the new add-on, just click on the target computer in Network Explorer, and choose the add-on in the pop-up launchpad.
5. In the above steps, I have assumed that PsTools are installed at "c:\PsTools" and the remote computer has telnet service enabled. If not, let's configure the system now.
- PsTools: download from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx, and extract to "c:\PsTools" folder
- Configure telnet service on remote computer: This step is required on XP/Vista, but not necessary on Windows 2003/2008 servers.
a) run services.msc from the "Start -> Run" command window and configured the Telnet service for Automatic. Start the service.
b) follow the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298060/en-us
c) launch Windows firewall, and add C:\WINDOWS\System32\tlntsvr.exe to exception list.
Add-on file formats
NeoRouter supports two types of add-on files: *.nri and *.nra. Most users only need to deal with *.nri files; all files downloaded from http://www.neorouter.com/addons/index.html are in this format. *.nra files are used by advanced users to build custom add-ons.
- .nri is the full installation package that contains both the application and the the configure info. Users can simply download *.nri files from and use the "Install" button to setup the add-on.
- .nra contains only the configuration info. Advanced users can create custom add-ons and export the configuration info as *.nra files using the "Export" button in the add-on properties dialog. Then he/she can import the *.nra file on another client. But remember that you will need to manually setup the application as well.

Mission Statement:
The Commonwealth Film Festival is a not-for-profit organization which exists to showcase the talents of Commonwealth filmmakers and to develop audiences for their products. It is rapidly establishing itself as an annual world-class large-scale festival dedicated to the promotion of Commonwealth-produced film culture to the global market.
The Festival is committed to inclusivity and excellence in all its operations and seeks to promote respect for human rights, equality, freedom and sustainable economic development.
History of the festival
Founded in 2001 by Michael Burke & Michael Fox, two of the North's most successful media producers, the first Festival was launched in June 2002 as a Beacon Project of the Spirit of Friendship Festival in conjunction with the Commonwealth Games in Manchester. Opening with Arjun Sajnani's 'Agni Vasha', the festival screened over 100 features and 275 shorts.
Building on the first year's success, the second festival took place in June 2003, with a smaller but equally high quality programme, and began to establish an international reputation for intelligent programming and good hospitality.
Delegate networking and public access are the key characteristics of the festival, which takes place in an informal and friendly atmosphere at great venues in an inspiring city.
The festival is dedicated to Saul Bass he is what many consider the best graphic designers of the 21st century.
Why 'Commonwealth'?
For some the word 'Commonwealth' resounds with echoes of a colonial era – but the contemporary reality is forward-looking as 53 countries work together to pursue goals of sustainable economic and social development with a commitment to human rights, justice and equality. As Nelson Mandela has said, 'The Commonwealth is an image of Diversity', and the culture that arises from this vast diversity is worth a lifetime's exploration.
Cinema is at the leading edge of that exploration, as film makers undertake journeys beyond the frontiers of their audience's knowledge, bringing back vibrant and powerful stories from a teeming world.
Their festival is dedicated to giving these stories a presence. It is the 'conversation' between different stories from different cultures which makes a festival such as theirs unique, compelling and full of surprises.

Can't control remote desktop from windows
:confused: I think I followed Falko's instructions on How To Configure Remote Access To Your Ubuntu Desktop from 1-23-08 completely. I can connect from winxp but cannot control the desktop. I've checked to make sure Remote Desktop is set for control not just view. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and I am a new user of Ubuntu. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
Did you check your logs?
Could be a firewall issue. Please make sure that the firewall on the Ubuntu system is switched off.
No problems with firewall. I did a new clean install of 9.10 and everything now works great. Computers...go figure. Thanks falko for you help.

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is looking at how to best use the 25,000 acres under its control in the county.
The district has long operated on a "90-10" policy of preserving 90 percent of its property as natural open space, leaving 10 percent for sites with improvements.
But with shrinking opportunities for land acquisition in a county that is essentially built-out, the 90-10 policy is being questioned.
"There aren't any big tracts of land left," Forest Board member Joe Cantore said. "We have to adjust our vision on what we want."
His fellow board member Linda Painter suggested rethinking the formula, floating the idea of an "80-10-10" policy, with 10 percent in a gray area that might accommodate uses that don't fit into either category.
Board President D. "Dewey" Pierotti agreed the policy should be addressed.
"What's the long-term effect," he said was the question that should be answered about any change in policy. "Are you going to make it 80-20, or maintain the 90-10."
But as commissioners brainstormed about what the strategic plan should include in the way of land allocation, the reality of the district's commitment to open space became apparent.
Cantore noted the district had an obligation to honor the wishes of voters who supported it in referendums, saying "Voters gave money to acquire open space."
Pierotti agreed topen space was crucial to the district's mission while acknowledging the difficulty of determining future needs.
"We want to protect as much space as possible," said Pierotti. "This is a very complex issue."
The issue is only one that the district is contemplating as part of an ongoing analysis done by marketing consulting firm Davidoff Communications. The approach will include public surveys and a series of community dialogues.
"We're trying to get everybody's input on our future direction," Sue Olafson, director of communications and marketing for the district, said.
"Find out what we can do to make ourselves more user-friendly," Shannon Burns said.
Burns also suggested finding ways to make better use of the district's volunteers.
"We have to have a greater emphasis on the use of technology," board member Tim Whelan said.
Painter agreed and suggested locating satellite offices in various parts of the district to accommodate routine activities like applications for dog park and fishing licenses and securing camping space.
"People expect it," she said.
Painter also suggested making an effort to make clear the different mission of a forest preserve district as contrasted with a park district, and noted that citizens tended to confuse the district with the DuPage County Board.
"That's just an obstacle we have to overcome," she said.
Burns said that she would like to see more emphasis on natural resources and restoration of land, especially in cases where the district removes unwanted and invasive species, but didn't plant anything in its place.
Whelan agreed, saying, "I would like to see some input from the public."
John Davidoff asked the commissioners for examples of the district engaging in activities beyond the scope of its mission, and board member Mary Lou Wehrli gave the example of archery.
But she also noted the popularity of archery and other activities that might not be compatible with the district's mission.
"There's a huge demand (for horseback riding, archery and golf)," she said.
The first community dialogue will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. April 30 at the Naperville Municipal Center, 400 S. Eagle St.
