An Interview with Crispin Earl of The Veer Union - April 10, 2012
By Tina Dealwis
Vancouver rock band The Veer Union is out on tour to promote their newly-released second album, Divide the Blackened Sky. The band has undergone a tumultuous two years, having been dropped from their record label, and seeing the departure of bassist Marc Roots and guitarist James Fiddler from the band this past February. Nevertheless, TVU is moving forward, as they oversee the new release and continue to do what they do best – make solid music.
This past week, lead singer Crispin Earl spoke with Lithium Magazine over the phone from Chicago, about the tour, the new album, his enduring friendship with guitarist Eric Schreaeder, and overcoming the hard times of the last two years.
Tina: How's the tour going?
Crispin: The tour has been amazing. We actually just finished our tour with My Darkest Days, and it was amazing—great guys to tour with, the crowds have been amazing, and people have been very receptive, so it's been great. We are actually now starting our tour today with Cavo and Janus. We had a chance to tour with both those bands in 2010, I believe it is, and so we're excited to go out with those guys because we're definitely big fans of both of those bands.
Tina: You're also going out this summer and playing the summer festivals as well.
Crispin: Absolutely. We've got a couple of festivals coming up.
Tina: The summer festivals sound really exciting, with bands like Korn, Staind, and Godsmack. Who are you most looking forward to playing with this summer?
Crispin: I'm definitely looking forward to playing with all of them, but I've always, since day one, been one of the biggest Korn fans ever, so I'm really excited to see those guys, and definitely excited to hear what their new stuff sounds like in a live setting. I'm really excited to play with that band for sure.
Tina: Since you were a kid, music has always been a part of your life, and you started out as a drummer when you were first in school.
Crispin: That's correct.
Tina: Do you still play drums now, or do you just focus exclusively on singing?
Crispin: Oh yeah, I definitely still play the drums. Whenever I get a chance to, I still play, and I've even still considered at some point in time doing a side project and just playing drums. It's an instrument that I love, and unfortunately I don't get to play it as much as I would like because I'm a little more focused on singing and songwriting in this band right now. But it's definitely something I will never forget, and it's a skill that I'm proud to have achieved.
Tina: Why did you decide to pursue music as a career? Did you always know it was what you wanted to do?
Crispin: When I was 10 years old, I saw the local high school band come to my elementary school, and there was this drummer that was playing in the band there, and he was just a phenomenal drummer, a phenomenal musician altogether; and so I saw him play, and from that moment on, I knew that that's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, and I've never changed, I've never looked back.
Tina: You've mentioned as well that Led Zeppelin was one of your biggest earliest
influences, as well as Living Colour and other bands like that. Who are you listening to now?
Crispin: That's a really good question. I still listen to a lot of old stuff. As far as new stuff, I listen to a lot of the bands that we tour with as far as rock goes, but I still also listen to a lot of different stuff. I've been listening to the new Florence and the Machine record a lot, I've been listening to a lot of John Mayer; City and Colour is one of my favourite artists for sure. I listen to a lot of mellow stuff, but at the same time I'm also influenced by a lot of metal stuff. So it's right across the board for me. If it's good and if it's real, I'm listening to it.
Tina: What about some of the old school stuff that you've been listening to lately?
Crispin: Old school stuff that I've been listening to lately, let me think. I would say that
Soundgarden's—one of their first records called Louder than Love—I've been listening to that a lot lately. It's one of my favourite records.
Tina: Why is that one of your favourites? What strikes you about that album?
Crispin: I think it's just because of the fact that, that record came out in a time of innocence where rock was just all about attitude, and it was real and it was no rules, and you can hear that in that recording, it's just raw emotion and power. It's just an amazing record.
Tina: I know it's been a challenging couple of years for you guys, with a couple of your band members leaving the band and with leaving your record label. Can you speak to what the band went through, and what was the biggest learning experience for you over the last two years, and what you took away from it?
Crispin: Every time I think that my biggest learning experience was being strong and not giving up, a new problem presents itself, and then you have to again learn how to just be strong and make it through and keep going. I think that with the amount of problems that have presented themselves, I've even surprised myself to be able to endure through having to kind of carry the weight on just Eric's and my shoulders, instead of having five people to share that weight. So it's been a very difficult time, but the best thing for me, what keeps me going, is I sit back and go, 'Wow, I'm still creating music,' which is all I've ever wanted to do, and I'm able to continue to do that. That's all I've ever wanted to do. It's never been about being rich, or famous for that matter, I just want to be able to continue to be able to make music, and have enough fans to be able to continue.
Tina: You've said in other interviews that your friendship with Eric is like a family, and going through so much together, how has it made your friendship stronger?
Crispin: The same way it does with a family. You know, when you go through hard times, you sit back and you talk about some of them, you laugh about some of those hard times, and then you just keep moving forward. It's very true, when you have a friendship like Eric and mine, it really does seem more like a family versus friendship.
Tina: That's great.
Crispin: Yeah, we've definitely been through a lot together for sure.
Tina: What advice would you give to up-and-coming musicians who are struggling with some of the issues that you've dealt with in the music business?
Crispin: The honest truth is, the best advice I can give is if you think that you're going to make a lot of money, and you think you're going to be rich and famous, go get a job. Because the truth is the only people that are going to make it in this industry, there are only two different types of people—the people that are going to be willing to go through thick and thin and be broke for a really long time and do it because they love it; or the other is the person that is going to get lucky and have one type of hit that hits really quickly, and I think that's .0000001% of the population of the world that that's going to happen to, and I might be high in that percentage (laughs).
Tina: So just make sure you really love it and you're willing to go the distance?
Crispin: You have to love the music, you have to be passionate about it, otherwise there's just no point in doing it. Don't do it for the wrong reasons, because it'll never happen. You'll just end up arguing about money that doesn't exist, and then your band will break up.
Tina: Tell me about your new album Divide the Blackened Sky. I listened to it several times, and I really enjoyed it.
Crispin: Thank you!
Tina: How would you describe the sound?
Crispin: I would definitely describe it as a heavy, melodic, dark, edgy, real rock record. And you can definitely hear, lyrically and emotionally, sound-wise on the record, that it's a very real record. A lot of people are trying to create mathematic type songs these days, but this record, at the time we pretty much just stopped listening to anything and just focused on what felt right, and that's pretty much how Divide the Blackened Sky was born.
Tina: So you sort of tuned out the rest of what was out there and other influences, and focused on what was real to you.
Crispin: Exactly. And it ended up coming out as a much heavier, much darker record than the previous one Against the Grain.
Tina: That was actually my next question—how do you think it differs from Against the Grain?
Crispin: Like I said, it's a lot heavier, it's a lot darker, it's a lot more gritty, it's a way more rock record in comparison. Against the Grain had a lot more ballads on it, this one doesn't.
Tina: Yeah, this one definitely isn't focused on ballads at all. Did you have a vision for this album, or did it just sort of come out through inspiration?
Crispin: I think it came out through desperation. Everything that seemed like it was coming to an end, it just came to a point where we put that into an audio track, where it felt hopeless, everything seemed hopeless, and it was almost kind of like answering your own question—we had to fight through this, we have to fight through this hopelessness, and that is what we've captured on the record.
Tina: How are you guys doing now?
Crispin: We are fighting through every day, and enjoying every day as it comes.
Tina: It sounds like there's a lot of great stuff coming up with the tour and the album.
Crispin: There's lots of great things that are happening and we're really, really, really excited. Right across the board, pretty much, the feedback we've gotten right across the board is this record is better than the last one, and that's all you can really ask as an artist is to be improving. I'm not saying we tried to beat the last record, we just tried to make another honest, real record. And I that think people can identify with that, which is great.
Tina: What message do you want your fans to come away with when they listen to this record?
Crispin: Let's put it this way, I think the message they are getting is you're not alone. I think that everybody's going through difficult times with the recession right now, with the economy, it's really tough times for everybody. I think anybody that's going through a tough time in their life is going to be able to relate to this record, because that's exactly what they're going through as well.
Tina: What's your favourite track on the album and why?
Crispin: It changes from day to day. Because we're talking today, my favourite track today is "Buried in the Ground." I think that it's definitely the one song on the record that is a major departure. It's quite a bit different from what we would normally do, and it's just got a very simple message. The main lyric is, "I've got to turn it all around before I'm buried in the ground." It's just that feeling of hopelessness and trying to get through it.
Tina: Very personal to what you guys have been through as well.
Crispin: Absolutely, 100%.
Tina: What are your goals for The Veer Union in the future?
Crispin: To keep doing music.
Tina: Keep doing music, definitely. I think once you're a musician, you're always a musician, and it's something that's just a part of who you are.
Crispin: 100%. Unfortunately, some people don't have that privilege, even if they're a musician, sometimes there are too many problems that come and you know, take that dream away. So I hope that nobody takes that dream away from me, that's all I can hope.
Tina: Was there anything that you wanted to add, or that you think is important for people to know?
Crispin: Yeah, I think the most important thing that I'd like to add is if people really, really, truly love an artist out there, whether it's us or somebody else, go and buy their record and support new artists, because new artists are suffering, and people really need to understand how important it is to go and buy their music if they really truly like that artist. Because in the future—if people don't support those artists that they love hearing music from—then they're going to stop hearing music from them.
Tina: Yeah, I know that's a big problem in the music industry.
Crispin: Yep.
Tina: How do you comb at that kind of problem?
Crispin: By trying to get the word out, like in this interview right now, trying to really spread awareness. People really think that music is free, but it's not. It costs a lot of money to make, and it's a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to make it, and people just take it, you know, so eventually the money will dry up and the blood, sweat, and tears will stop, and so will the music.
Tina: That would be a real shame if that ended up happening.
Crispin: It's getting close. (laughs)
Tina: I'm a big Prince fan and he promotes that message a lot, he even monitors YouTube really carefully.
Crispin: 100%. Here's the biggest thing that people don't understand. If a person like Prince is having problems, imagine a band that's never been heard before. It's not the people like Prince that are suffering. They're just not making as much money as they used to. New bands aren't making any money, because they come out with something brand new, and people just steal it. So they don't have a nest egg to sit on, that nest egg never existed. So a new band comes out, they spend their hard-earned money on making a product, then that product just gets taken from them. Sure, it's great to make fans, but if the fans aren't giving back, then that band has no choice, no matter what, but to fold. I mean, if you open up a car factory and you build a bunch of cars, and then you open the door, and everybody comes and takes your car and drives away because they love the car, well you're not going to be a very good businessman if you're just giving away your cars. How are you going to buy new materials to make more cars? You can't, because everyone just drove away with the ones that you just started off with. It's very simple. The unfortunate reality is that's where we're at. People think they're hurting major corporations by taking away, by stealing music, but they're not, they're hurting the artist more than they're hurting the corporations.
Tina: Was there anything else that you wanted to add?
Crispin: We have a lot of dates coming up. It's always been about playing live for us. We've got a lot of live dates coming up, we're going to be out on tour for most of the summer, and would love people to go to our Facebook page, which is www.facebook.com/theveerunion. Check out our dates also at www.theveerunion.com. And we're also running a package deal right now where you can get a couple of CDs—our brand new CD and our first CD—with a T-shirt and a poster for a really good price promo, if you go to www.theveerunion.com and go to our store. Basically that's about it!
Tina: Well, I wish you all the best with the tour, and hope to see you in Toronto.
Crispin: Perfect, yeah, absolutely!
Tina: I really enjoyed the new album, too, I hope it does really well for you.
Crispin: Thank you very much, I do appreciate it, and I definitely appreciate the time and helping us spread the word.
Tina: My pleasure. It's been great talking with you, and all the best with everything.
Crispin: Perfect. We'll see you when we come to Toronto.

Welcome to Our Clarksville Spay/Neuter Clinic
Clarksvlle Spay / Neuter is a subsidary of St. Bethlehem Animal Clinic and is the FIRST Clarksville low-cost pet spay/neuter, high volume pet sterilization facility (in Tennessee and Montgomery County) community service to open to the public. Its mission is to provide affordable dog/cat spaying & neutering to Clarksville pet owners in Montgomery County, as well as in all surrounding counties. In addition, our Clarksville low cost spay and neuter clinic works with many non-profit animal rescue groups in the area sterilizing pets for adoption, and also provides low cost Clarksville pet vaccines.
The spay/neuter program at Clarksville Spay/Neuter Clinic is open to all pet owners wanting a low cost spay/neuter procedure in the Clarksville area. Fees are based on age, weight, and risk-assement and start at $40. We are always searching for grants to even subsidize these low fees for those that truly cannot afford to pay these low fees. We encourage donations from the public and civic groups to "pay for a spay."
Due to the spacious veterinary facility and large professional staff at Clarksville Spay and Neuter Clinic, it has the capability to spay/neuter 60 or more pets/day six days / week. Typically pets are discharged 4 hours after surgery. It is the only low cost/high volume spay/neuter facility in the Clarksville and Montgomery County area that has on-call veterinarians to handle any emergency that might arise after hours.
Clarksville Spay/Neuter Clinic is 100% funded by Dr. Ronald & Kathy Whitford. The Clarksville spay/neuter program is a joint effort between MCFOTS (Montgomery County Friends Of The Shelter) and Dr.Ronald & Kathy Whitford. Any donations are placed in a fund to subsidize those in the community that truly cannot pay anything for having their pet(s) sterilized as another effort to decrease pet overpopulation in Montgomery County, TN.
Appointments are immediately avialable by calling 931-645-4111. All payments for low cost procedures must be paid in cash at the time of service. No credit cards accepted.
An additional subsidary of STBAC is the Love At First Sight Pet Rescue which concentrates on saving kittens from death at the local animal shelter by rescuing them and making adoptions available at STBAC.

The goal of the monograph development phase was to test the proposed process and learn from it to improve the overall framework. Below, each prototype is described as a case study to illustrate how principles and concepts from the Framework were used to meet the objectives of each step. The triggering signals are indicated as presumed in this illustration as it is not possible to know whether FDA would have initially detected them as signals or not.
Concerns expressed about the safety of chaparral by several authoritative sources signaled that chaparral's safety should be investigated, as did several SN/AEMS1 reports of serious adverse events associated with chaparral use (coma, severe hepatic injury, hepatitis, and kidney failure).2 Authoritative sources included FDA itself which, before the Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act, issued a press release warning of a potential relationship between chaparral use and liver toxicity (FDA, 1992), and the American Herbal Products Association's Botanical Safety Handbook (McGuffin et al., 1997) notation that Health Canada did not allow chaparral as an orally administered, nonmedicinal ingredient. Possible liver problems were also mentioned in several other secondary sources of information (Foster and Tyler, 1999; NMCD, 2002).
While the use of chaparral may not be widespread, the seriousness of the adverse events and the several authoritative sources citing potential problems, especially liver problems, were considered to be a strong signal requiring the evaluation of the nature of the evidence regarding potential liver and other problems. This is consistent with Chapter 4 guidelines that reports of liver necrosis or acute liver failure be considered in an expedited manner due to their potential for mortality and morbidity.
The nature of the case studies and reports to FDA were considered first, as described in Chapter 4. Serious adverse events occurred in individuals

Service learning expands to Uganda
Service learning at Johnson County Community College has expanded to include the struggling region of northern Uganda, strengthening JCCC's commitment to service learning on an international level.
For the past two years, nursing students from JCCC have completed a three-week medical mission at St. Mary's Hospital Lacor (pronounced Latch-o) in the Gulu district of northern Uganda.
Mary Smith, professor of nursing for JCCC, has been a strong advocate for the project.
"You find out more about who you are and what you are capable of doing. This is an opportunity where students are really in some uncomfortable situations. You find out about your resiliency," she said.
Zamierowski's invitation
Since 1998 students from JCCC have traveled to Las Pintas, Mexico, an impoverished community on the outskirts of Guadalajara. They have helped with medical and dental care and most recently completed a solar-power project.
The JCCC connection to Uganda began with an invitation from Dr. David Zamierowski, the Healthcare Simulation Center medical adviser at JCCC. Smith and Kathy Carver, professor of nursing, accompanied him in 2009 to the war-torn African country.
Those days were just enough for them to realize they needed to help more than their short trip would allow.
Ugandans were trying their best to educate a new cadre of nurses, but it proved difficult to recover from chaos. They wanted to learn so much, explained Smith. They just needed someone to help support them.
In June 2012, the first group of nursing students – four from JCCC, four from Rockhurst University and four from the University of Kansas – introduced themselves to the nursing students of Lacor.
"We learned a lot from that first year," Smith said. "The collaboration we began [with Rockhurst and KU] was rich, as was the connection to the hospital, so continuing that collaboration into a second year was a definite positive."
Building a team
Students in the second-year trip benefited from every greater teambuilding before the trip. Smith organized a retreat for the students in Parkville, Mo., and the guest of honor was Sister Carmel Abwot, a nursing instructor from a hospital a few hours from Lacor who came to visit JCCC that month.
"The students learned so much from Sister Carmel," she said. "They were allowed to ask question about the culture, about what they might expect, and that really helped prepare them."
For the 2013 visit, American students were paired with a "mentor." This mentor would lead the visitors through each step of the hospital visit. That relationship component made the experience even richer, Smith said, for both the mentor and mentee.
Learning and growing
While in Uganda, Carver dug out the simulators that had been delivered previously and set up an African version of the Healthcare Simulation Center she oversees at JCCC.
While teaching a class in midwifery, Carver and another instructor simulated hemorrhaging during childbirth, with simulated blood everywhere. That was the moment when an entourage from the government's Ministry of Health decided to meet the American teachers.
"That was quite a moment," Carver said, laughing.
Other moments proved to be less humorous. Students watched a birth where only one baby from a set of twins could be saved. They saw one child die of malnutrition.
"We don't shield them from things like that," Smith explained. "It's part of the experience, unpleasant and heart-wrenching as it is."
JCCC President Joe Sopcich said the Uganda initiative brings together service learning and international study.
"Students hone their skills in an environment that couldn't be more different from what they know in Johnson County and provide much-needed support in these communities," he said. "I know these students will never forget what they've seen and learned in Africa."

"I love my end result of this dish. I followed the recipe very closely for this dish, but found that it didn't make enough sauce for my liking.

"Good recipe, pretty easy to make too!! My baby even liked it! A bit sweet for my taste, which is the only reason it got 4 instead of 5."

"Fantastic beans! I was worried about them coming together, because they looked so runny with the entire can of chicken broth, but they turned out wonderfully. I used pepper jack cheese, which added another nice layer of spice. Will definitely be making these again!"

Tesla Motors officially began shipments of its long awaited and hyped Model S electric sedan starting yesterday to great fanfare at the company's Fremont, California headquarters. Yet the car is not only amazing for its electric engine but also its brains or rather the NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) Tegra Visual Computing Module (VCM) processor that is built inside to power the digital dashboard of the all electric car. Based on the same powerful Tegra processor used in smartphones and tablets, the Tegra VCM will power the vehicle's 17-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation system, which is the largest screen ever built into a passenger car, as well as its all-digital instrument cluster. We got a sneak peek inside at all the Model S and its gadgetry in this exclusive video tour of the Tesla Model S which you can check out after the break.
BARCELONA -- On the first day of Mobile World Congress here in Barcelona, SEGA showed Sonic the Hedgehog for the first time on a tablet powered by NVIDIA's quad core Tegra 3. Called Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Episode II, the new mobile game will launch some time in the Spring this year. It will come out first exclusively for NVIDIA Tegra-powered smartphones and tablets in NVIDIA's Tegra Zone before rolling out onto other Android devices after. We got a first hand look at the blue wonder doing his thing on the Tegra 3-powered Asus Transformer Prime tablet in this exclusive video.
LAS VEGAS (CES) -- Google made official its new Android 3.0 mobile operating system, code-named Honeycomb, by posting a video on its site showing off the new OS following Verizon's LTE 4G Press Conference. At the press conference, Verizon demoed the new Motorola Xoom Tegra 2-based tablet. Android 3.0 is the first Android operating system optimized for the tablet and its bigger screen. Previously, Android Tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab used slightly modified phone versions of Android 2.2, which were not designed for tablets.

i am sorry that some of you have had so much trouble with hail and thunderstorms. here, it is tedious weather . . .
the rain is coming out of montana and falling as snow in the pass. yesterday, some places nearby did not reach 50° and that will not happen, again today. records were set yesterday and probably, today . . . i ran the water in 1 garden yesterday because the sprinkles from a dreary, gray sky just didn't seem to be enuf. ah, the smell of chlorinated water during a rain . . . today's rain will make up for any imagined soil moisture deficits . . . some garden plants won't be able to take this much longer. some were damaged by frost a couple weeks ago, most were damaged by wind thru the spring. green leaves have been available for harvest . . . it could be worse. central oregon is under a freeze warning for tonight. there was an earthquake near white swan, wa, last night. didn't feel it here . . . steve |

Steve, I've decided that every place has it's own particular weather woes. When I complained to my sister, who lives in northern Mississippi, about the hail and constant wind here, she says she'd give anything for a breeze. That they are having temps in the high 90's with humidity so thick, that it was hard to breathe, and physical activity outside was unbearable. A few weeks back, when I spoke with my brother in Tennessee, and was complaining about late frosts, he tells me about flooding rains, and that he couldn't even begin to get his garden tilled or planted. I'm sure there is some place on earth with perfect gardening weather year round ... but I don't know anyone that lives there. Bonnie |

Kansas Promotes September as Newborn Screening Month Oct 13, 2011
Topeka— The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is proud to promote Newborn Screening Awareness Month in September. While most newborns look perfectly healthy, there are some diseases that aren't visible. Unless these diseases are identified and treated early, they can cause severe illness, mental retardation, or in some cases death. To test for these diseases, about 24 hours after birth, a baby's heel is pricked and a small sample of blood is collected by the hospital staff. This blood is then sent to the State public health laboratory where it is tested for several different diseases. If the test is abnormal, re-testing must be done to confirm a diagnosis.

LAS VEGAS - Police officers dressed in leprechaun costumes will be leaping up and down the Las Vegas Strip. They will be crossing streets to test drivers to determine whether they yield for pedestrians. Officers, not dressed as leprechauns, will be nearby to write tickets to drivers who don't stop for the green-clad pedestrians. Fines can run $190 and up. Pedestrians will also be ticketed for trying their luck by crossing streets outside of a crosswalk. Pedestrian deaths are up 50% in Clark County which includes Las Vegas. Last November, police dressed in Santa costumes and patrolled the Strip to test drivers.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chloe!
Facts about Chloe
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Chloe's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and declawed.
When the kind people at Texas CARES found me, I wasn't in all that great of shape. My hair was all matted and my front paws hurt from being declawed. But my foster family has taken such good care of me that I'm a very happy kitty despite my rough start! I LOVE to be brushed! In fact, if you have a brush, I'll be your best friend. As a little lady who cares about her appearance, I never want to deal with matted hair again! You can't tell from the picture, but I have the cutest little stubby tail. I'm new to the shelter so I'm a little scared right now, but pay me a visit and I'll show you how sweet I am. I'll never turn down loving or a good brushing!
Other Pets at Texas CARES
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chloe, a Dallas Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Dallas, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Dallas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Dallas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Dallas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Dallas paves the way for another one to be saved.

In this video from the National Rifle Association, Rep. Blake Farenthold of Texas says trying to question AG Eric Holder is similar to catching a greased pig at a rodeo. When will this Congress move to Impeach Holder over this unquestionable perjury.
This POS Holder, even if he does decide to resign, is not going to sit very well with me nor should it with anybody else out there. This man is in the process of providing a coverup in the DOJ and what he's doing is criminal. Here we have the top law enforcement official in the land, and he's commiting criminal acts. Oh no. No resignation for this scumbag. He needs to be indicted and held accountable for his crimes. By so doing, hopefully, we can follow the trail and see where it leads. IMHO, this does go directly all the way up to Obama, the chief criminal in charge!

The Sample–Summer Cheeks Edition: NEW Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelées in Berry Bliss, Getaway Red, and Poppy Paradise (Review, Swatches & Photos)
1 Aug
««Press Sample»»
The day I received these in the mail, I had just gotten home from a long, hot day at work (hasn't quite hit 100 yet but it was just under), followed by a 45-minute commute home in a car that was (at the time) AC-less. To say I was hot and crabby was a serious understatement; all I could think of was getting home and chugging a tall glass of water. Then I spotted the package from Josie Maran waiting patiently for me beside the door. My heart did a little flip-flop and I rushed inside to open it, forgetting all about my imminent heatstroke. The only thing that mattered was getting my hands on these new Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelées from Josie Maran. Who can think of actual water when you have these guys, which are like a tall glass of water for your cheeks?! (or, according to Josie Maran, like a "refreshing sip of coconut water for your skin".
These Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelées (by the way, how cute is the name?! I've told you guys before that part of the reason I really, really wanted to try this product was because of the adorable name. I can't resist the foodie-makeup names!) came out a few months ago, just in time for summer. On the Josie Maran site, they are described as a "buildable, blendable blush hybrid [that] provides the natural look of a cream blush with the long-lasting 14-hour hydrating color of a gel stain. Infused with 50% pure Coconut Water, it instantly hydrates while nourishing with the powerful benefits of Vitamin E-rich Argan Oil."
These blushes come in 6 gorgeous shades. I received 3 shades to review: Berry Bliss, Getaway Red, and Poppy Paradise. Berry Bliss is described as a "deep wine"'; it's a light-medium, sheer merlot. It looks a little dark and scary in the pot but trust me, it's sheer enough to be quite easy to wear and flattering on a variety of skin tones!
Getaway Red is a true red and creates the most natural-looking flush you could imagine. Poppy Paradise is described as a "warm toned hot pink". In the pot, it's more a tomato-red, with slight orange tones to it. But on the cheeks, it does look more pink than red due to the sheerness of the color. It's very similar to Getaway Red once worn though significantly less warm.
–clockwise from top: Getaway Red, Poppy Paradise, and Berry Bliss–
Now the packaging: the Cheek Gelées are potted which–I know, I know–many of you despise because they are unsanitary. But I honestly don't mind. The pot is made of glass, it's sturdy, it's large enough to dip the head of my stippling brush into (or fingers, but I prefer using a brush), and I like that you can see the color of the blush through the bottom of the pot. I also like that the cap shades are coordinating with the color of the blush inside.
As for the blushes themselves, well…they are absolutely a dream–everything I had hoped they'd be! These blushes have a solid gel consistency. They are slightly bouncy but retain a denser consistency than jell-o. It's easy to pick up product with a brush or your fingers–only a tiny bit is needed to create perfect and believably natural-looking flushed cheeks.
–Berry Bliss–
–Getaway Red–
–Poppy Paradise–
The formula is very cool and refreshing to the touch. I do also feel that it is lightly hydrating–not overtly so but when I use it on my cheeks and especially lips, I can tell the difference in the moisture level.
Have I mentioned what a breeze these are to apply? They blend out so darn easily! But blending is the key. As you can see from the swatch photos below, the heavy swatches that were applied with a synthentic cream shadow brush definitely looked streaky. But once buffed into the skin with a stippling/buffing brush, the product really melts into the skin, the color diffusing perfectly. And once the product has set on the skin, it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing anything at all. I was a little nervous that the product might feel a little sticky or look greasy (due to the coconut water and argan oil) but my skin drinks it right up and leaves no residue behind.
–swatches L to R: Berry Bliss (heavy and blended), Getaway Red (heavy and blended), and Poppy Paradise (heavy and blended)–

side note: apologies for the terrible lighting! I had to make do with the light after I got home from work. I'll try to take better swatch photos tomorrow!
Another plus? This blush is every bit as long-wearing as it says it is. You guys all know I have the oiliest of the oily skin, right?! Well all 3 shades wore for about 10 1/2 hours on my skin. Pretty incredible, right?! They do stain but not in a scary way–they look really natural and subtle (but visible) on the skin but just keep going and going and going all day long. I'm sure that on those with dry to combination (and everything in between) skin will get 14-hour long wear like the brand promises, easy.
These are an absolute must-have for summer. Plus you only need a tiny bit to get perfectly flushed cheeks so one pot will last you a looong time–these blushes will get you from summer through fall, winter, spring, and summer again! Plus the 6 available shades (Coral Oasis ["tangerine orange"], Honeymoon Honey ["neutral brown"], and Pink Escape ["cool toned pink"] are the 3 other shades I didn't review) are all universally-flattering and are the types of shades you can wear year-round and that go with absolutely everything. Please please please check these out…please? They are so lovely, it would be a crime to miss out!

Liability Insurance; Including General, Professional, Directors and Officers.
It is no secret that we live in a litigious society. The court system is kept very busy handling lawsuits (sometimes valid, sometimes not) that are initiated by individuals or entities against other individuals or entities. There are various types of liability claims. Some claims are for bodily injury, some are for property damage and others are for pain and suffering, economic or other damages. Some claims are related to employment laws or allege violations of civil rights statutes. Even if a claim does not make it to the lawsuit stage, each claim should be investigated and it can take a lot of time, expertise and money to do so.

Gametype int, what am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to figure out how to get my gametype to appear in the list. I'm obviously missing somebody very simple and in the open but I can't seem to put my finger on it.
I've got a new gametype (subclass of DeathMatchPlus, same as the rest of the gametypes) in a package called MyGameType. I put the following in MyGameType.int and load the game and it has an extra listing, but instead of being my game it simply shows 2 "LastManStanding" gametypes (both of which indeed are LastManStanding, not simply an incorrect naming of my version). [Public] Object=(Name=MyGameType.MyLastManStanding,Class=Class,MetaClass=Botpack.TournamentGameInfo) Preferences=(Caption="MyLastManStanding",Parent="Game Types",Class=MyGameType.MyLastManStanding,Immediate=True) My gametype is simply the entire LastManStanding code with one simple adjustment (I broadcast how many players are still alive every time somebody is killed, just to test). Everything else is the same which made me think that maybe there was some reference to the original gametype that was overriding my version but upon looking through the code and default properties I couldn't find any references to LastManStanding. I also tried making my gametypea subclass of LastManStanding and only replacing the one function I changed but when I did that my gametype DID appear in-game but it appeared as a gametype category, and the only listed gametype for that category was LastManStanding (not my gametype). I don't have that int file anymore though so I'm not sure what happened. Anyone have any ideas? My int file looks just like the gametype listings in botpack.int and my gametype class is setup exactly like the stock gametypes but it just doesn't want to show up.

The actual in-game name of a GameInfo class isn't controlled by the .int file. The string GameName does, put it in your defaultproperties like so:
defaultproperties { GameName="Spank the Monkey" } |

Aha! Thanks a lot

VIDEO: UD football announces 13 high school recruits Thirteen high school recruits will join the ranks of the University of Delaware's football team. Delaware football coach Dave Brock announced the names of the incoming football recruits during a Wednesday press conference. Brock, who was hired in mid-January, admitted that the recruiting work had been primarily carried out by former K.C. Keeler. "Travelling around and meeting people who've been committed to Delaware for the first time, sometimes almost like cold calls, having never met the prospect or the parents," Brock says. Despite having little involvement in the recruiting process, Brock says he's looking forward to the upcoming season. "I'm excited not only about their future in the program but I'm really excited about the future of the Delaware football program, going forward," he says. Only two recruits who had given verbal commitments to Delaware did not sign national letters of intent Tuesday, Brock says. Among those recruited by Delaware was Kyle Yocum, a quarterback from Reading Pa., who attended Exeter High School. "Really, really impressive person. Has a good skill set, terrific arm, he can move. He is a great addition to the program," Brock says. Also recruited was Cedric Udegbe of Minneola, Fla., who lived in Germany and was coached by former Blue Hen All-American wide receiver Aaron Love. Although none of the recruits are from Delaware, Brock announced Eric Patton, who was attending Delaware Technical Community College and played football for St. Elizabeth High School in Wilmington will be among the transfers joining the program. He'll have freshman eligibility. Jordan Thomas, who attended Rutgers, and Kennedy Ogbonna, who attended ASA Community College will be joining the program. Both will have junior eligibility. Incoming freshmen:

- Sharing Onboardly & Client content via personal social channels on a daily basis to help encourage distribution,
- Contributing to any relevant webinar series, remarkable content development, and other inbound marketing activities,
- Given the nature of a startup, your marketing responsibilities will change from time to time, and may include managing other aspects of the marketing activities of the company organization, including quality online advertising & viral marketing campaigns.
You must be:
- An expert at getting things done on time and to a high degree of efficiency,
- A people person and brand enthusiast for Onboardly's process,

When we learned this afternoon that Yao Ming has informed the NBA that he's retiring, most NBA fans probably weren't shocked by the news — we knew this day would come, possibly within the next few years. If we're shocked by anything, it's the timing of the announcement. I certainly hoped and assumed that the lockout would give Yao an opportunity to carefully rehabilitate from January surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left ankle. But in spite of recent reports that his ankle was healing according to schedule, Yao must have come to the conclusion that his massive body simply couldn't handle the punishment of NBA basketball anymore.
There are a multitude of reasons why Yao's presence will be sorely missed from the game. He was a unique specimen and talent who was widely respected and adored by basketball fans around the world. When he was the first "truly international player" to be selected first overall in the NBA Draft, there were as many people expecting him to become the most important player in NBA history in terms of global impact as there were people who were convinced that he was a stiff who would prove to be one of the all-time busts.
Charles Barkley famously made a bet with Kenny Smith on "The NBA on TNT" on November 7, 2002 that he would kiss Kenny's ass if Yao scored 19 points in a game in his rookie season. Just 10 days later, Yao had a 20-point game (and followed that up with a 30-point game four days later) and Kenny brought a donkey onto the set so that Charles could settle the bet. It remains one of the highest comedic moments in the history of the most popular NBA studio show, and it reminds us that Yao started becoming a legend within the first 10 games of his NBA career.
While Yao was a lock to be voted into the NBA All-Star game every season he played due to his global popularity, you can make the case that he was a legitimate All-Star by his second season in 2003-04 when he averaged 17.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks while playing all 82 regular season games. Among "true centers" that season who played at least 60 games, only Shaquille O'Neal averaged more points. Yao had arrived as a star even sooner than most of his believers expected, and fans and experts alike started to wonder if we finally had a player who could challenge Shaq's supremacy as the best center in the league.
Determining Yao's peak over the remaining five "real seasons" of his career isn't cut-and-dry because his most impressive statistical season was 2006-07 when he averaged 25.0 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks, but he also missed 34 games due to injury. After only missing two games over his first three seasons, Yao's body began to break down at the age of 25 and it started to become clear that a lengthy NBA career probably wasn't in the cards for China's national treasure.
As much as we worship size in the NBA, the problem with men of Yao's and Shaq's stature is that the human body simply isn't meant to grow to those proportions. Knee, ankle and foot problems are commonplace with seven-footers in this sport, and those were the very problems that started to plague Yao — a toe infection in 2005, a fractured right knee in 2006, a stress fracture in his left foot in 2008, a hairline fracture in that same foot in 2009, and finally the stress fracture in his left ankle in 2010. A pattern developed that Yao obviously could no longer deny — he simply couldn't hold up to the rigors of NBA basketball anymore.
If this seems like a sad end to the Yao Ming story, it's because we surely all agree that the NBA was much more interesting when he was healthy and playing. At a point in time where there is only one true superstar center in the game, we wanted Yao to challenge Dwight Howard's supremacy now like we hoped he would battle Shaq for supreme big man honors in the late 2000s. But as much as we wanted Yao Ming to play and succeed, I've never been convinced that Yao wanted it as much as his fans — including the 1.3 billion people he was expected to represent.
Can any of us possibly understand that kind of pressure, the monumental weight of those expectations? Can you name another athlete in the history of sports who carried that burden? I've never felt like Yao was consumed with a burning desire to win multiple championships, have a Hall of Fame career and bring great sporting honor to his homeland. It always seemed to me that he was a generally nice, pretty smart, and rather charming guy who happened to be seven-foot-six (or perhaps "only" seven-foot-three, according to Henry Abbott) and Chinese. What else was he going to do with his life besides attempt to become the greatest Asian basketball player of all-time?
There's more to life than sports, even for Yao Ming. He got married in 2007 and became a father last year. Obviously, he'll have a lot more time to spend with his family now. In December of last year, here's how he responded to a question about his NBA future: "I haven't died. Right now I'm drinking a beer and eating fried chicken. What were you expecting, a funeral?"
Does that sound like a guy tortured about the possibility that he might never play again? Yao hopefully has a long, fruitful life ahead of him, and now he can split his time between family and a likely role as a national ambassador for Chinese sports. He will never not be one of the most famous, recognizable athletes in the world, and I predict that he'll continue to bring joy to millions of people simply by showing up for charity events and contributing his image to various foundations. Show me a person who wouldn't be psyched to meet Yao Ming and I'll show you a person who has no soul.
It's OK for us to be a little bummed out that we'll never get to see Yao play basketball again. But I bet when he finally decided to call it quits, the main emotion he felt wasn't regret, but relief. A great burden has finally been lifted, and Yao's aching feet, ankles and knees probably feel a little bit better already.
