Mar 1, 2011Best game I've played since World of Warcraft came out. I would recommend this game to anyone that enjoys MMO's. It may not be he most original game but it takes the best aspects from other games such as wow, eq2, and warhammer and tries to improve upon it while adding it's own twist on things.
Mar 1, 2011I can't stop playing. I'm afraid I'll lose my job! Seriously, this is pretty fantastic. The rifts and invasions are the most fun I've had in practically any other MMO I've played. GREAT co-op! Beautiful, addicting, easy to play, AWESOME! Play this game or else you'll always suck.

Mar 1, 2011A great game with smoothest launch of any mmo ive ever played, There is a ton of content to do in the game and being able to participate in zone wide rift invasions is amazing simply one of the best mmo's since wow
Mar 13, 2011I give this an average score for an average game
There's nothing special about it. It's just blah.
Skip this if youre playing one already. If you're pining for an MMO, then play a free one until something good comes along this year -

Mar 1, 2011It looks good, it feels great. Very smooth launch so far, great zones and the rift system is engaging and highly immersive. Will it kill WoW? Who cares, WoW needs decent competition and Rift is a great contender.
Rift doesn't pretend to reinvent anything, it takes the best bits from other games and rolls them into a great iteration of the fantasy MMO genre. Kudos to Trion, great job! -

Jul 16, 2011The only way to get even close to objectivity, I have attempted the past few days to take a step back and make a list of things I like about the game. On the same sheet of paper I tried to record day to day what the Official Rift Forum Community says most about the gameâ
Apr 25, 2011
Mar 2, 2011This game is visually stunning, beautiful textures and effects. Revolutionary game play. This takes the best of other MMOs and makes it its own in a unique and fluid way. I've been with this game since day one of closed beta. Do not let WoW humpers fool you! This is not a WoW copy, simply an MMO they see as a threat.

Mar 5, 2011This game is very similar to WoW. But why shouldn't it be? It took all the things that WoW has and added to them. A smart move by Trion. The class/ soul system is unique and allows for many combinations. Haven t been to end game yet but what i have done deserves a rating of 10.
Mar 7, 2011
Mar 10, 2011I decided to go out on a limb and buy Rift on steam the other day. It was such a great decision. The game Looks amazing and the game play is just as good. The class system is so open-ended that it makes replay value pretty high. If you're looking for a well paced, fun and just down right awesome MMO to play, Rift is your game.
Apr 5, 2011
Mar 2, 2011This is a standard MMORPG. If you're expecting something revolutionary, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a game like World of Warcraft only that's new and actually has the outdoor areas matter (thanks to Rifts and invasions), then you'll love this game. The soul tree system is also pretty interesting. For people who like this genre, this game is definitely worth a look.

Mar 4, 2011Excellent game with new gameplay features. The rift system is really fun, especially how it integrates while leveling. The game looks great and polished, which is a big plus for a game just released. The class system is a lot of fun as well and a fresh mix to the same class tier system in every MMO.
Mar 5, 2011A uniquely polished game. It combines all the great elements from previous MMO's and creates a solid experience. Spiritual successor to EQ2? I think so! Trion's well poised to become a common name amongst gamers.
Mar 6, 2011Absolutely phenomenal game. Is full of content, extremely stable, and the developers are great. Trion Worlds have crafted a game that could be a powerful contender to World of Warcraft.
Jan 4, 2012Coming from EQ, DAoC, Warhammer, and WoW, this game seems to be a mixture of the best features from all of those games blended into one. The graphics look great on any system, but if you have a high-end rig, it really looks beautiful. It has been awhile since a MMO has sucked me in like RIFT has. I highly recommend it to gaming vets and newcomers alike. Give it a chance, you might like it.

Mar 6, 2011
Mar 4, 2011As per many RPG's, get past the mundane starting zones and you will find this is a quality MMO. Yes it is a blatant rip-off of WoW, but there are enough differences to keep it seperate. I must say, I was disappointed for the first day I played, loved it the second day, now I am thoroughly enjoying myself. Be patient and give it a go and you will find yourself hooked.

Mar 3, 2011Great game. Feels very new innovations to the MMORPG gaming field. Classes are very creative as you can mix and match and find what you like most. No longer are you restricted so heavily. Graphics are beautiful. Anyone who knocks this game hasnt really played it. They are probably just a die hard wow fanatic who compares everything to a piece of junk like wow.
Mar 5, 2011
Mar 5, 2011
Mar 10, 2011If you love WoW and still play it right now it is inevitable that you will go back but if you have quit and are looking for a fresh new MMO this game is a definite winner in the genre. I have played almost all of the big name MMOs and this is definately the best MMO since WoW.

Jul 7, 2011
Mar 10, 2011Smoothest launch ever, great experience so far. This game is sick. I've had a great time playing it, it's probably the game that IF people were to take 2 seconds out of there time on WoW, would ACTUALLY have the chance of taking it over. At least until Diablo 3, ha.
Mar 5, 2011Lots of grass roots marketing fake reviews going on here in the user comments. Anyways, I love MMO's played Rift, nothing spectacular. It's your A typical MMO RPG. Not bad, but nothing new. If you are a Wow player, stick with Wow. Now if Rift goes free to play, it might be worth checking out.
Mar 7, 2011RIFT is brilliant! At first you think its just another WoW Clone, but after a short Playtime you see that RIFT makes a lot better than WoW. RIFT improved the best things from many other MMO's. The Rifts and Invasions are really funny. Everywhere is action and something to do! No longtime single grinding or questing.
Mar 11, 2011This could seriously be the best MMO Ive ever played, everything is running smoothly. The dynamic world with the rifts are wonderful. I got hooked during the beta, ordered the Collectors Edition and are 100% satisfied.
Apr 3, 2011
Apr 19, 2011i played it got to level 50 first week of the "head start"
this game is the grindfest to end all grindfests
not to mention it runs on gamebyro; its like warhammer online 2 bascially except minus all the fun RvR stuff that made warhammer great - theres nothin next gen about it -

Dec 6, 2011I have written a short review on this game. A quick summary of why I gave it a score of 6: Technically wonderful with lovely graphics, smooth response and very minor glitches. However, gameplay feels a bit bland for long-time players of MMORPGs. Good effort from Trion.
http://www.hopelesslygame.com/2011/04/entering-the-rift/ -
Jun 16, 2011I feel there's something missing. Rifts and invasions were fun for a little while and I liked tinkering with the soul tree, but after that it was just another mediocre MMO.
Mar 18, 2011Right now the user positive reviews are 108 where the negative ones are 14 which says something on its own. I won't say anything more than that Rift is similar, if not better, in content and gameplay to WoW and it barely just launched. The present and future for this game looks bright. On the other hand WoW had no future since its first expansion. Congrats to Trion.

Mar 10, 2011Great game from graphics to class system. It takes alot of the good from past mmos but thats a good thing in my book. I want a good ol mmo like eq eq2 and wow when it first came out. With the latest games Rift hits the spot.

Mar 13, 2011LAcks PvP endgame Content, doe snot keep it's name for next generation even in Pve. Raids are boring and it's the same mechanics we've seen before.
Mar 13, 2011
Mar 15, 2011An amazing MMO that has me hooked. I usually get bored of MMOs quickly, but not Rift. It has content, story, pacing, environment all fleshed out. I hope to see this game flourish because it deserves it.

PvP is an unbalanced joke, and an insult to the players Trion didn't do anything when people exploited new Conquest war front during its launch period. I found a new synonym to word boring; Rift.

Mar 21, 2011This game doesn't reinvent the wheel. But it is an awfully nice wheel.
Playing this game felt like I was playing old school "Vanilla Warcraft" before Blizzard they decided to try and level past the old content as fast as possible. Also, the graphics are pretty good and often remind me of a high-fantasy novel, instead of a cartoon-anime-fantasy setting like Warcraft has become. -

Nov 29, 2011There have been obvious comparisons made to WoW, with some even going as far as calling it a clone. But what makes Rift so special is that it goes out of its way to avoid falling into the same traps as the many that have fallen before it. It avoids the painful, mindnumbing grind, makes incremental patches everyday and listens intently to its rapidly growing community.
Jul 20, 2011It's true that the soul trees offer outstanding flexibility for character development and the rifts bring a welcome sense of insecurity into Telara's everyday life, but for some players this simply might not be enough.
Jun 28, 2011Rift offers a really polished MMO experience but looks and feels much like a mix of many good MMOs like World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online and Warhammer Online.

By The Art Newspaper. Museums, Issue 191, May 2008Published online: 01 May 2008
FLORENCE. The Uffizi is developing plans for a redisplay of its unparalleled holdings of self-portraits which is by far the greatest such collection in the world. Its 1,630 works represent the world's earliest collection, started by Leopoldo de'Medici in 1664.
The main display of self-portraits is in an unusual setting, the Vasari Corridor. Built for Cosimo de'Medici in 1565, it is a one-kilometre elevated walkway linking Florence's Palazzo Vecchio to the Palazzo Pitti on the other side of the Arno river.The corridor's exterior is deteriorating, and an 18-month restoration project starts this month. Replacing the plaster and upgrading the windows will cost E233,000.The covered route passes successively through the Uffizi building, above a street on the bank of the River Arno, on an upper level of the Ponte Vecchio over the main crossing and gold shops, and then past a viewing balcony looking down into the Church of Santa Felicita to exit in the Boboli Gardens. The designer of this audacious venture was architect, artist and art historian Giorgio Vasari.The Vasari Corridor is today one of Florence's most exclusive sites. Its interior is only accessible to small groups (for security reasons), and escorted tours have to be booked months in advance. The normal charge is around E50 a head.The self-portraits naturally start with the Italian masters, presented in chronological order, beginning just before the Ponte Vecchio. The earliest is a picture of three Gaddi artists, done in the 1330s (although now considered to be portraits, not self-portraits). Subsequent Italians include Lippi, Andrea del Sarto, Annibale Carracci, Tintoretto, Giordano, Carriera, Reni, Bernini and Batoni. After the Vasari Corridor crosses the Arno, the foreign artists start. The highlights include works by Rubens, Rembrandt, Ingres, Velázquez, Reynolds, Leighton and Corot. At the end of the present display are 19th-century Italian and foreign artists.Although the interior is not being restored, plans are being made to add a good representation of 20th-century works. At present there are only around ten post-1900 artists, including Carl Larsson and Maurice Denis. Most of these are from early in the century, and the only exception is Chagall, who presented his self-portrait in 1976, at the age of 89.At present the self-portrait display stops towards the Palazzo Pitti end of the corridor, and from there onwards there are Medici family portraits. Curator Giovanna Giusti is keen on using this space to display over 100 20th-century self-portraits, and she hopes they will be hung next year.There is certainly no shortage of works. Numerous modern artists have donated works, no doubt spurred by the honour of being represented in an historical collection with so many great names. Most of these were given in the 1980s. In addition, a group of 300 self-portraits assembled by Swiss collector Raimondo Rezzonico was bought by the Uffizi for E1m in December 2005.The 20th-century works are almost all in storage. Important examples include Carrà, de Chirico, Tàpies, Annigoni and Rauschenberg. Hopefully a new presentation would encourage leading international artists to donate self-portraits.A second plan under consideration is to convert a large room in the main Uffizi into a self-portrait gallery, with a dense hang of historical works. Comprising several hundred paintings, this would give an idea of how the Medici collection was displayed in the 18th century. It would also mean that a large number of the most important self-portraits would be accessible to all Uffizi visitors.The historical room would be part of the "New Uffizi", a E55m project to double general display space and provide much needed public facilities (including a new exit). The scheme has been under discussion for over a decade, but is now scheduled for completion in 2011.At present only 400 or so of the Uffizi's 1,630 self-portraits are hung, but if both the 20th-century and historical displays proceed, then the number would probably double—and half the collection would be hung.Martin Bailey

Community Carol Concert Mitten Tree - In support of 'Home Suite Hope'
OCC families who wish to participate are encouraged to bring a NEW pair of mittens, gloves, hat, or scarf for a child or teen and place it on our "mitten tree" on December 13 at the Community Carol Concert at St John's United Church. Additionally, gifts of NEW unwrapped toys will also be accepted and recently Home Suite Hope has put out a special call for smaller denomination amounts of gift cards for places such as grocery stores in particular this time of year. These gifts can be placed under the tree at the concert. All donations will be taken to families in need in the Halton area through the "Home Suite Hope" organization. Thank you in advance for your support!
Congratulations to the OCC Senior and Chamber Choirs at the 8th World Choir Games!
Congratulations to the Oakville Children's Choir Senior and Chamber Choirs who won a Gold Medal in the Youth Choir of Equal Voices category and a Silver Medal in the Musica Sacra categories at the 8th World Choir Games in Riga, Latvia. The choirs also performed at an outreach concert with Estonian singer David Benton in Tallinn, Estonia and a concert at the famous Temppeliaukio Church (Church of the Rock) in Helsinki, Finland. The choristers were thrilled to meet and sing with other choirs from around the world on this successful tour!
The Henderson Family Trust
A special thank you to The Henderson Family Trust (a fund held within the Oakville Community Foundation), for their support of our 'All Voices Together' choir collaboration project. The OCC was able to pilot a very succesful 6 week choir workshop and community choir program thanks to the generousity and support of The Oakville Community Foundation and The Henderson Family Trust.
Tour Fundraising Thank You!
A special thank you to all those who donated to our tour fundraising and also to the organizers of the very successful pub night. We'd especially like to thank the following for their generous support of the fundraising event:
Richard Birkett,
Youth Poetry Writing Contest
Congratulations to Elaine Jiang, the winner of the OCC Youth Poetry Writing Contest for her poem "Snowflakes". The OCC would also like to congratulate all of the poetry contest finalists: Mila Badics, Daisy Kurelek, Emily May, Robert O'Halloran, Dylan Policelli.
New Energy Exchange Program
Singers who have graduated from high school and are in a post-secondary program of some sort are invited to apply to sing with the Chamber or AFGM choir programs in special mentorship roles as part of our new "energy exchange program." The energy exchange program allows for graduates to participate in these two choirs through contributions of mentorship, leadership, fundraising, and specific contributions (setting up at concerts) in exchange for free tuition which many post-secondary students cannot afford.
The OCC is very proud of this new program as we feel that these older graduates are very much contributing to the culture of our Chamber and A Few Good Men choir programs and that they, ultimately, make the choirs stronger, help in growing our numbers, and strengthen our overall organization.

Double GOLD win at the World Choir Games in Cincinnati!
Senior and Chamber choirs have each won gold at the World Choir Games - the Olympics of choral music and the largest international choral competition in the world - in Cincinnati where 362 choirs from 48 countries participated.
Choristers – who returned home July 8 - represented Oakville and Canada when they competed July 5. The Senior Choir won gold in The Open Competition: Category 3, Youth Choirs of Equal Voices and the Chamber Choir won gold in The Open Competition: Category 13, Musica Sacra.
"We are so proud and excited about our amazing results at the international competition level at the World Choir Games," said OCC Artistic Director, Sarah Morrison.
"I am so proud of our Oakville Children's Choir, who recently performed at the World Choir Games and brought home two gold standings. They are evidence of the fact that Oakville creates champions. Let's do what our community does best - support our choir by attending their concerts as they prepare to represent our town at the next World Choir Olympics in Latvia in 2014."
~Mayor Rob Burton
"The achievements of Oakville Children's Choir continue to be a shining example of music excellence amongst the youth of our community.This award-winning choir is recognized worldwide for their consistently inspiring performances and on behalf of The Government of Ontario, I wish them every success as they represent Oakville internationally.
~Kevin Flynn, MPP Oakville
"The OCC had such a fantastic experience at The Games this past week. It is a thrill to represent Canada and bring home gold but more than that, it was incredible for our young people of the OCC to meet other young people in choirs from around the world and make new international friendships," said Morrison, music director of the Senior Choir and the Chamber Choir.
"It was so neat to see the young people meet and informally start singing together in the streets of Cincinnati - the joy of singing - this is what the Games are all about!"
In competition, the Senior Choir performed a dramatic piece called Mulligatawny Macbeth which achieved top marks at the Peel Music Festival in April. The Open Competition is judged by a panel of five international adjudicators who gave each competing choir a score. Senior, Chamber and Indigo Voices also participated in two friendship concerts with other choirs from China, The Czech Republic and the U.S.A.
Senior and Chamber choristers have been working diligently all year for the World Choir Games – previously held in such countries as Austria, China, Germany and South Korea. Choristers departed on Tuesday July 3 with Morrison as well as Janet Stachow, Associate Music Director, Cheryl Duvall, OCC Accompanist, and parent chaperones.
Training in the Cherub and Intermediate choirs – often for several years – prepares choristers for the challenges and competitions of the Senior and Chamber choirs.
"The trip to the World Choir Games was life-changing for our choristers! They met so many people who share the love of choral music," said Stachow, Music Director of the Intermediate Choir and the very young Preparatory "Little Notes" Choir.
"Achieving a gold level diploma for both the Senior and Chamber choirs was a great achievement and we are all so proud of their work and dedication!" said Stachow who also assists with directing the Chamber Choir.
"It goes to show that their commitment and growth moving through the different levels of the OCC training choirs (Prep, Cherub, Intermediate) prepares them so well to participate in international tours. They were excellent ambassadors for Oakville and the OCC."
OCC Senior Choir chosen to represent Canada
Our Senior Choir will be one of 2 Canadian choirs featured on an international DVD for Scotiabank "Bright Future"! Congratulations to our choristers!
The Scotiabank Bright Future Community Voices project explores our grassroots, charitable, social and community engagement stories while showcasing the great wealth of musical talents, culture, creativity and spirit of youth from around the world. The OCC was recently featured in this Scotiabank Bright Future Community Voices Project video. To see our choirs performing in the video, visit this facebook link. 3-2-1 Oakville Children's Choir Video
Intermediate Choir First Place in National Competition!
After winning first place at both the Peel Music Festival in April and the Provincial level competition in May, the OCC Intermediate Choir competed nationally via live recording and was awarded first place in the OMFA National Level in Class 15/107 Margaret Wharton Memorial category. We are very proud of this strong showing. Congratulations to our Intermediate Choir!
Rehearsal location:
All choirs except 'A Few Good Men' rehearse at St. Simon's Anglican Church,1450 Litchfield Drive, Oakville. The 'AFGM' choir rehearses at an alternate location (school) on Linbrook Rd in Oakville.
Here's to song, Here's to time, Here's to both with friends of mine.
Choir to me is more than just an extracurricular activity; it has become an important element of my life.

Yes, we're telling you to buy suspenders. Yes, you may officially feel like your grandfather while wearing a pair. But do you really want to risk the alternative -- being 8 months pregnant with your pants down around your ankles? Okay, we exaggerate. But BELLY UPS will definitely keep you from having to hike your pants up over your belly every five seconds. Plus, no one will notice when they're hidden away under your shirt. One tip: Use these with bras you haven't spent a ton of cash on. If you wear them a lot, they'll start to really pull down the sides of your bra.> $13, Baby Is A Star

Help! I have inherited many large salvia gregii plants. They are about 5 years old and quite woody on the inside of these 3-4' clumps. How hard can I cut them back for a good green growth flush this spring. Will they survive the winter if I cut back hard? Can I cut all the way back to the woody inside so that I won't have such unruley plants?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your "page" doesn't tell where you live in the USA. My suggestion is to wait until you see new, green growth near the bottom 3rd of the plant.... whenever that is where you live. Prune down to this, taking away the top 2/3rds. Fertilize lightly. I don't think that at only 5 years yours would be considered old. Most of mine are 10 years old and are still growing nicely. |

Starting in London and hosted by none other than the English National Ballet School at the beautiful Peacock Theatre, the enchanting story of Coppelia choreographed by George Williamson will be performed this spring. This witty tale is known throughout the world, about an inventor who creates a doll so life-like that the village swain Franz falls so madly in love with her that he neglects his true heart's desire Swanhilde. All ends well though when she dresses as the doll to show him his mistakes and they head off to get married, just as the protagonists should in all good fairy tales. Adults can expect melodic and memorable tunes along with outstanding dance and choreography, while children will be captivated by the fantastic story that has been written with them in mind. Kids aged three and above are sure to love the comedic take on the fairy tale, which is staged in a way that combines all the elements of classical ballet, with plenty in the way of arabesques and pirouettes. Tickets cost £26 and can be obtained over the internet or by calling the box office either by phone or in person. The Peacock Theatre is located on Kingsway, although the entrance can be found on the adjacent Portugal Street. Book yourself and your youngsters into The Chesterfield Mayfair, which is conveniently located around 20 minutes away by public transport. Make the most out of your time in London and go with the 3 Nights For The Price Of 2 package, which gives you a third night in any room including the Dormer Suite, Duchess Suite and Stanhope Suite absolutely free.

I met Hayden Kramer, aka HeRobust, a number of years ago when he was in a collaborative project with Leonard D. Stroy here in Kansas City. He would keep telling me about HeRobust and told me repeatedly that this kid was going to blow up. No disrespect to the homie Lenny D, but I'm always skeptical when someone else tells me that's going to happen and I didn't find him first. I'm a hater and I recognize this. But wouldn't you know that Lenny D was spot-on with his prediction. Starting with the onslaught of free tunes during the summer of 2012 and the last two years has seen HeRobust tour nationally multiple times, play many a festival, and seems positioned to maintain his power position in the U.S. bass music scene moving forward into this year's festival season.
I caught up with HeRobust after catching him on the SMOG tour as it hit KC back in February. I expressed the interest in interviewing him about his production process and how he made this current industry model work in his favor and he jumped at the idea to tell his story. He wanted to wait until after the tour wrapped to go in on this and I definitely thank him for tossing me some of his valuable down time to knock this out.
So what's been good with you man?
Finally home after a long time on the road. Getting some much needed studio time. I have a bunch of tracks I've started on the road that I really need to hone and finish.
I hear that. You mentioned that while on the SMOG tour when I saw you. You said when you were in KC that you were dying to get back to the studio and that's it's hard to work on the road for you, but you've been playing so many shows and traveling the last year or so. How have you remained so prolific on music output?
Haha, thanks. Some phases of production are hard on the road, others are not. For me, stuff like mixing and processing drums can't just be done in headphones. I need monitors, sub, etc., so I actually split my production up. All the stuff that's easy to do in headphones, I do on the road. So that's writing the tracks, composition, and some sound design. Then all the stuff that requires a real studio is left to do at home. So tracks come out in waves because I'm starting many at a time when I'm gone, and then finishing a bunch at a time when I get home.
That makes perfect sense and it seems like you've gotten comfortable with how things flow for you…
Yeah, I'm definitely getting used to working this way, but I can't say it's preferable. It feels great when the creative process can just flow without interruption.
That definitely makes sense. Can you give the DAD readers some info on any of this upcoming material?
Sure. Of course there will be some big hybrid trap tunes coming. A couple of twerk tunes. A couple of house tunes. I'm wrapping up a collab with Snails that will hopefully be a big one for festivals this summer.
Snails is FIERCE. How did that one come about?
I love his music. What really brought us together is the fact that we both do a lot of sound design in Reason. So it was nice to nerd out with someone, because that's a rare thing for us Reason users. Not too many of us around at this level.
Do you find those kinds of DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) situations killing some collaborations before they ever get going?
Definitely. I'm actually in the process of switching to Ableton right now for that very reason. I'll still use reason a lot… just gonna be arranging and mixing in Ableton now.
Seems like there's constant challenges and new techniques to keep up on in today's production world. You talked about it briefly on the bus in KC that the young kids out there are coming up with new techniques almost daily. Tell me what that's like… just trying to "keep up."
Oh it's amazing, man. Every year there's a class of high school seniors or college seniors that are incredible producers, but just don't have the time to really focus on music because of school or work or whatever. And every year they come through and just blow people away. Keeping up with it is definitely hard because once you become successful, you're always on the road. So you're competing with people who have twice as much time as you. Ha, friendly competition of course.
That's what's up.
But it's awesome. They accelerate EDM. They are the reason we get better, because we have to. And when we don't, they take over which is awesome, too! Haha, win/win. I don't work well without inspiration, so new and amazing artists mean a lot to me.
That makes me want to know who you've got your eye on right now and why?
Snails, Kai Wachi, Apashe (the whole Kanibalen Crew is awesome), Boombox Cartel, Joe Ford, Aero Chord… I could go on forever. as to why… I think of music in two criteria: Execution and perspective. Perspective is like the message and point of view of the artist. Execution is how well they conveyed that idea. There are tons of artists who execute tracks beautifully, but don't have much to say in my opinion. My fave artists have strong perspective (and execution), haha.
Makes perfect sense really. What about the whole 70BPM world (trap and dubstep)? You mentioned earlier messing with some other tempos. You getting the versatile flex going in 2014?
Yes, but not as much as most. From what I'm seeing, a lot of DJs were really quick to jump off the 140BPM thing. I grew up on southern hip-hop, so I'm always gonna love it… Like I said, I am working on a range of other genres, but my sets will still be at least 50% 140BPM, I think. To be honest I'm not into the whole twerk revolution. Don't get me wrong, I think there's totally potential for some amazing tracks to be made with that style, but I don't see many artists trying to take twerk music to the next level. As a genre I think twerk has been all execution, little perspective so far. Hopefully I can help push that along.
Haha… totally understood on all that man. If it's cool with you… I really just have a couple more questions. Very curious to know how you view your success and how things have progressed for you. One, what do you think have been some of the important aspects of your focus to get where you are and where do you ultimately want to go? An two, what advice would you like to give to some of these youngsters you mentioned that are on the come up? And keep in mind I'm not looking for fluff cause I met you forever ago.
Haha. Well, in a broad sense, my focus was the music. I know that's obvious but trust me some people spend more time spamming then they do on their tracks. I focused on consistency early on. If you're playing the internet game you have to realize that its constantly turning over very quickly. The goal was not to make one great tune and have it buried under hundreds of posts by the end of the week. The goal was a consistent stream of tunes that would force people to recognize my name through repetition. In 2012 I released a free remix every Monday for eight months or something crazy like that. It was absurd, but it did work. My goals are just to keep growing and making cool music, and hopefully that will extend beyond EDM. Working with lyricists like 2 Chainz, Iggy Azalea, etc would definitely be amazing.
Nothing stands still out here. The Internet is turning over a mile a minute along with the talent pool and the technology. So be confident, but understand the need to improve. It really is a necessity if you want to keep up. If you think you have nothing to learn, you simply wont. Secondly, GRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNDDDDDD. It's a lot of work and it takes a lot of time. Even artists who appear to have just "blown up" overnight were putting in WORK before anybody knew who they were. Ask Flosstradamus.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 From Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and from Timothy, our brother. To Philemon, our dear friend and worker with us; | 1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker, |
2 to Apphia, our sister; to Archippus, a worker with us; and to the church that meets in your home: | 2 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church that meets in your home: |
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. | 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
4 I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers, | 4 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, |
5 because I hear about the love you have for all God's holy people and the faith you have in the Lord Jesus. | 5 because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. |
6 I pray that the faith you share may make you understand every blessing we have in Christ. | 6 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. |
7 I have great joy and comfort, my brother, because the love you have shown to God's people has refreshed them. | 7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints. |
8 So, in Christ, I could be bold and order you to do what is right. | 8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, |
9 But because I love you, I am pleading with you instead. I, Paul, an old man now and also a prisoner for Christ Jesus, | 9 yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul--an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus-- |
10 am pleading with you for my child Onesimus, who became my child while I was in prison. | 10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. |
11 In the past he was useless to you, but now he has become useful for both you and me. | 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me. |
12 I am sending him back to you, and with him I am sending my own heart. | 12 I am sending him--who is my very heart--back to you. |
13 I wanted to keep him with me so that in your place he might help me while I am in prison for the Good News. | 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. |
14 But I did not want to do anything without asking you first so that any good you do for me will be because you want to do it, not because I forced you. | 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do will be spontaneous and not forced. |
15 Maybe Onesimus was separated from you for a short time so you could have him back forever -- | 15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back for good-- |
16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a loved brother. I love him very much, but you will love him even more, both as a person and as a believer in the Lord. | 16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord. |
17 So if you consider me your partner, welcome Onesimus as you would welcome me. | 17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. |
18 If he has done anything wrong to you or if he owes you anything, charge that to me. | 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. |
19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back, and I will say nothing about what you owe me for your own life. | 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back--not to mention that you owe me your very self. |
20 So, my brother, I ask that you do this for me in the Lord: Refresh my heart in Christ. | 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. |
21 I write this letter, knowing that you will do what I ask you and even more. | 21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask. |
22 One more thing -- prepare a room for me in which to stay, because I hope God will answer your prayers and I will be able to come to you. | 22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers. |
23 Epaphras, a prisoner with me for Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you. | 23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. |
24 And also Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, workers together with me, send greetings. | 24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers. |

It seems that inclement weather last year has affected the pumpkin crop. My local supermarket in NYC in is out of stock and I just heard from a friend in Fla. who's cat also depends on Libby's canned pumpkin to help keep her regular, that it is unavailable down there as well. She asked if there was any thing else (her cat hates laculose)she could give her cat on a regular basis to relieve constipation.
A while ago, someone on this forum mentioned that Mirilax was ok for older cats but I was unsure of the dosage. Wouldn't cooked, skinned zuchinni have the same affect? After all, it is a non starchy squash that is mostly fiber and water. I have another month's worth in the freezer, but if the shortage still exists, will have to try something else. Any advice is appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can read about various constipation remedies at the link below. Since your cat apparently does well with fiber, you can substitute mashed peas (or baby food peas) or 1/8 tsp of unflavored Metamucil for pumpkin. Miralax is very effective and has similar action to Lactulose, but it is an osmotic laxative, not a fiber source. Laurie |

Sweet potatoes - the orange ones. Winter squash - hubbard and butternut. Both are high fiber and taste enough like pumpkin that they will probably accept it with no problems. |
i had heard, right around thanksgiving last year, that this was imminent so every trip i took to walmart, i bought 10 cans. my cupboard looks like a pumpkin canning factory! good to know there are alternatives if i run out before the shelves are restocked! |
Thanks for the great answers, guys...you were smart, Ninapearl. |
I always raise and freeze pumpkin for pies, and guess who didn't last year? LOL. I scarfed up pumpkin when I could find it and there wasn't any on the market shelf the last time I looked. I made three sweet potato pies this week instead of pumpkin (can't tell the difference) and noticed the beaters to my mixer had fibres all over them, so I'd think it is, like lazygardens says, a good alternative source of it. |

If you are really desperate, Amazon.com has organic pumpkin for $2 or so per can. |
"Growing and processing remain highly concentrated, and one state and one company so dominate the business that a disruption in the annual cycle that takes pumpkins from patch to processor to grocery can cause a popular product to disappear from store shelves for nearly a year. It could easily happen again." Quote from the June 2nd Washington Post. Majored in Ag in college. This is why the disappearance of the family farm is not only sad, but a loss of diversity of sources should one have a bad year is the end result. |

I now live in Villeray. My apartment on Berri is only about five blocks south of the Metropolitaine, which takes me out of town. This morning my commute was only 30 minutes. This evening, the ride home was a little longer, but still very manageable. I walked from my apartment all the way through Mile End, the Plateau, to downtown. Lovely.
My apartment is full of windows and very bright. I must buy curtains and hang them up. That is this week's project. Among the ten other projects.

Heh. You might be aware that many streets in Alcoa are named after scientists, probably because it was planned by engineers working at Alcoa. (There are a couple named after poets, too, not sure how they slipped in there).
Many of the names are familiar, such as Darwin, Curie, Joule, Kelvin, Edison, Nobel, etc. I had to look up Dalton, though. Turns out he was the inventor of atomic theory.

Tottenham will be aiming to bounce back from their surprise defeat at Norwich City with a home win over struggling Cardiff City on Sunday.
Head Coach Tim Sherwood went with an almost full-strength starting line-up as Spurs came from 2-0 down on aggregate to beat Dnipro and move into the last 16 of the Europa League on Thursday, but if they want to make the Champions League for next season, the 45-year-old knows that his team cannot afford to slip up here, especially as their poor performance at Carrow Road has left them six points behind Liverpool.
Having seen his side get thrashed in what was a must-win game against Hull City, Bluebirds boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was forced to call off a trip to the United Arab Emirates. The Norwegian surely must have reacted to the defeat last time out by working on his team's defending, as they were opened up time and again by a Tigers side who made them look like a side doomed to relegation.
Vlad Chiriches and Erik Lamela are both out for Tottenham, although Younes Kaboul, Danny Rose, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Kyle Walker could all be fit enough to return.
Cardiff will assess the fitness of midfielder Jordon Mutch, but are unable to call upon Mark Hudson and Gary Medel.

I'm looking for pine straw to use as mulch and nobody has it. Does anyone know a place in the Brevard area that sells pine straw bales? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know if i can help you...but no one else is coming to the plate....so.... I'm seeing more independent nurseries that carry pine straw. None of the box stores. I know a couple of places that carry it now. I'd keep calling and keep asking for it. |

The feed store in Sanford has it on occasion and the mulch place (Bolling Wood) always has it. That might give you some ideas for your area. ~dianne |
Over in Orlando....Hwy 50 near 436.....Sunrise Landscape has Pine straw...$5.50 a bale......407-249-7702 I was getting my Fines and asked today about Coastal Brevard County...... " Oh! that's a ways....I guess we could deliver it that far.....for a price !" |
Thanks everyone, still haven't found it. I'll keep looking. :) |
$5.50 sounds pricey to me. I'm paying about f 4 bucks for mine. |
Whenever one of my kids gets in trouble I send them out to rake a bunch up (assuming pine straw and pine needles are the same thing?) :) |
My mother in law lives in Rockledge. She has a big beautiful yard with lots of mature pine trees. She has lots of clean pine needles. She usually has barrels and barrels of it. She could probably use a few bucks, so i'm sure she'd part with all you want for $10. Thanks, Jon |

I have seen it at various Lowes and HD but not all of them. If you see a trailer parked by the garden center it usually is full of pine straw. |
You can find Pine Straw at Pine Straw of Central Florida in Winter Garden. They always have lots of fresh straw in stock and you can pick it up 7 days a week for $4.50 per bale. They also make deliverys. Email: email@example.com Phone # 407-765-1414 |

Carnival Bans Cash-Equivalent Promotions
(9:20 a.m. EDT) Cruisers used to getting cash-equivalent bonuses like gas cards, onboard credits, pre-paid gratuities and more from travel agencies can kiss those days good-bye when it comes to
Carnival Cruise Lines
As of August 1, 2012, the cruise line is putting into effect a new policy that essentially bans all cash-equivalent perks. Instead, travel agencies may only offer their clients non-cash equivalent items that have a value equal to or less than $25 per passenger.
Among the promotions travel agencies may no longer offer clients are: cash, gas cards, onboard credits, pre-paid gratuities, free or discounted shore excursions, free or discounted insurance protection, free or discounted hotel nights, reduced airfare or air miles, gift cards, third-party cash back offers or anything else that equates to a cost associated with a cruise.
What is allowed are small gift items like tote bags, hats, beach towels, sunglasses, memory books or Carnival Bon Voyage gifts so long as they cost no more than $25 per passenger.
The new policy is not entirely unexpected as Carnival has the strictest anti-rebating and advertising policies in the industry. It is the only cruise line that prohibits Costco from selling its cruises, as Costco's entire value proposition is its ability to offer deep discounts and extreme cash bonuses.
The policies not only offer small to medium-sized agencies an advantage as they no longer need to compete on price when selling Carnival cruises, but consumers benefit as well, the line says.
"Consumers are often confused by a plethora of offers for the same sailing," Joni Rein, vice president of worldwide sales for Carnival Cruise Lines, told Cruise Critic. "Confusion leads to doubt and results in unnecessary shopping around for the best deal."
Additionally, these policies are also meant to encourage cruisers to select their travel agents based on expertise and service rather than lowest price or highest perk promotions.
However, one travel agent told Cruise Critic consumers are the least likely to benefit from the policy.
"It's noble intent is to drive consumers towards the agents that provide the highest quality service," Ralph Santisteban, owner of a CruiseOne franchise in Miami, said. "However, it is apparent that those who will benefit most from this policy are those agencies that have issues competing with the larger agencies that have significantly higher economic resources.
"Some larger nationwide agencies have the ability to not only offer expert and detailed customer service, but they also have the economic ability to offer value added perks to consumers. The consumer gets not just the detailed and personalized customer experience, but can also receive value added perks that the smaller agencies cannot offer. By removing the value added perks, a disservice is being done towards the consumer."

We just purchased a home (we are now in Z6) and water stands in part of the backyard from about mid Oct until late spring. and during the early summer if it rains hard enough. I have planted two willow trees, and a few other moist loving plants but during the later summer it gets VERY dry back there and I have to water, (city ! $$) Does anyone have some suggestions as to what to plant that can take a couple of months of drying out? |

Bald or pond Cypress, if you're looking for something in tree form. Most Lobelia species can also take a bit of drying out in the summer. |

I never knew that aloe grew as a tree. I always have one in my house during the winter and put it out side during the summer (zone 6+) It looks like a big cactus. You can get them at any nursery around here. |

Fresh from October to February, dried available all year round
Dates are semi-tropical fruit from a palm tree, usually imported dried from the Middle East and North Africa. Once upon a time they were about as exotic as fruit could get. Fresh dates are moister and taste less rich and sweet. Either kind is good to nibble with cheese, or with coffee. Speaking of nibbling, the plants,or perhaps more accurately, the farmers, have a fearsome natural predator in the form of mice, who will run up 100 ft- (30 m) high palms for a date feast. The hot news in the date world is the toffee date (Medjool or Medjul), a particularly succulent variety carefully dried. It really is toffee sweet so if you are making cakes and biscuits with it you may find you need less sugar.
Unless fresh dates are specified, the recipes use dried dates.
Christmas Chutney
This is so-named because it is made with dried fruits, which I always associate with Christmas: prunes, dates and apricots. It's dark, spicy and delicious with cold cuts, pork pies or hot sausages – and it goes splendidly with matured Cheddar.
Spiced Fig Pudding with Cumberland Rum Butter
Those who aren't too keen on a traditional rich, dark Christmas pud may find this lighter, spicier version more to their liking.
Polenta and Ricotta Cake with Dates and Pecans
This unusual Italian cake freezes really well and makes a nice change from the more obvious teatime offerings: polenta gives the cake a grainy texture while the ricotta and amaretto to add moisture and an alcoholic kick!
Little Sticky Toffee Puddings with Pecan Toffee Sauce
Why not freeze these gorgeous little puds for a very special dessert? Your guests will love the wonderful flavours of this real treat.
Fresh Date and Apple Chutney
This chutney goes particularly well with Camembert Croquettes. However, it would also partner the Christmas cold cuts and buffet food extremely well, especially ham, pork pies and gammon.
