The DMV suspended your license because the officer said you refused. This had nothing to do with your plea to reckless driving. The court cannot undue the suspension at this time. You had the right to request a hearing on the refusal, but you had a limited number of days to contest the refusal. I suggest you consult with the attorney handling the case. He or he can give you some guidance on what you need to do.

If you were adjudicuated gulty you cannot possess a gun in the state of Florida. You may want to see if you are eligible to have your rights restored. You will need to get your rights restored by the state from which you received your convictions.

The worse thing that could happen is that you could get 60 days in jail and be required to pay a fine of $500.00 plus court costs. If this is your first offense, you are not likely to get anything close to the maximum sentence. For a first offense , you should try to get a diversion program. If you complete the program, the charge is dropped. You should hire an attorney to get the best chance at being placed in a diversion program.

You have thirty days from the date of your sentence to file a notice of appeal. Unfortunately undertaking an appeal is probably not going to get you the relief you seek. You should speak with a local attorney to determine if you have grounds for a post conviction motion. Finally, if you received a withhold adjudication of guilt you may be able to get this charge sealed, after you complete probation.
7 lawyers agreed with this answer
You need to consult with a local defense attorney right away regarding this . If your son was ROR'dt hen his charges are probably not that serious. And I am assuming that he must be a first time offender. So the judge may be amenable to allowing him to participate in drug tretament or rehab. But you will need to speak with a local attorney, who armed with all facts surrounding your son's charges, local practices, knowledge of the judge and prosecutor assigned to your son's case and your son'...
7 lawyers agreed with this answer
Your son can handle this himself. However, he should get a lawyer to handle this ticket for him. The lawyer may be able to use a defense that your son is unaware of. Additionally, a lawyer would know what can be said to the judge to lower the penalty or to get the charge dismissed.
Selected as best answer
No it is legal for a 16 year old to "date" a 21 year old. Since you appear to be getting ready to "date" you should really protect yourself from getting pregnant. Perhaps you should talk to a responsible adult about this situation.

The attorney can ask about alcohol or drug use only to the extent that that alcohol or drug use affects the witness' testimony. This is usually limited to alcohol or drug use on the night of a particular incident. But if the attorney could show that prolonged use of drugs and alcohol affected the person's ability to remember perceive, etc., the that long standing use may be admissible. The attorney cannot bring up drugs use solely to make a person look bad.
6 lawyers agreed with this answer
The trespass warning is invalid. You and she have established, through your behavior over the past few years, that you are allowed on the property to pick up and drop off your kids. As far as the child support issue, you should really be asking a family law attorney that question.

"Promote the Goat" at the Fourth Annual CUESA Goat Festival
Hundreds of fans lined up to meet the "kids" from Redwood Hill Farm
San Francisco celebrated all things goat at the Fourth Annual Goat Festival held recently at the Ferry Plaza Building during its busy and popular Saturday morning farmers market. The festival was co-hosted by CUESA (The Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture) and the makers of a wide array of Northern California goat milk products.
Hundreds of fans lined up to meet the "kids" visiting the city from Redwood Hill Farm in Sebastopol, watch cooking demos featuring food made from goat milk, get free samples of goat milk soaps from Tierra Mia Organics and taste goat goodies from Redwood Hill Farm, Cypress Grove Chevre, Laloo's Goat Milk Ice Cream, Happy Goat Caramel and Kidding Around With Chocolate.
Community Market Natural Foods Interviews Redwood Hill Farm
Local natural foods market features Redwood Hill Farm in store news
Tell us about Redwood Hill Farm…
Redwood Hill Farm is a family owned business that produces natural goat milk yogurt, kefir, and artisan cheese in our Sebastopol solar-powered creamery. We have a beautiful herd of dairy goats on our Humane Certified® farm just a few miles from our creamery. We're happy to mention that our farm is now solar powered as well!
How did the farm get started?
It was the beginning of the back-to-the-land movement, and my parents who had grown up in Southern California wanted to give a more rural lifestyle to their family. They bought an abandoned apple orchard in Sebastopol and moved us onto the land in 1964. As soon as the house was finished, my dad and grandpa built a small barn and we got our first goats (and chickens)!
We joined a local 4-H club and participated in lots of 'projects', but the goats quickly became everyone's favorites. By 1968 we had given our small farm a name, Redwood Hill Farm. By the early 1970's dad had built a small block dairy barn and we began bottling and selling raw milk in glass bottles to the then new natural food stores.

"It's a locavore age, with many consumers deeply invested in the source and story behind everything from their face cream to their goat's milk gouda. As food trends shift back to the land, farm-fresh products are gaining more traction. Family-owned farms offer a remedy to faceless corporations, and offer products crafted with consideration and care. From the old-world Italian "pork butter" (aka spallacia) created at Iowa's La Quercia to the natural beauty products concocted by high-end Rhode Island apothecary Farmaesthetics, it's a good time to celebrate the homegrown goodness offered up at farms across the country."

The Times-Herald Newspaper Interviews David Bice on Goat Milk
Goat Milk? Meet David Bice of Redwood Hill Farm, ambassador of foods made from the milk of frolicking goats
By Rayne Wolfe
Last summer, while helping to serve up dinner at a Sonoma County Farm Bureau fundraiser, a gentleman swore to David Bice that not only did he dislike goat cheese; he hated it. This didn't worry Bice, who has run into bad culinary attitudes before at store demos and natural food trade shows.
"Often, this is a result of tasting a poorly made goat cheese many years ago, or goat milk that wasn't fresh, at sometime way in their past," said Bice. "Once a person gets past that negative 'taste memory' of long ago, and tastes whatever we make with an open mind, they are almost always pleasantly surprised."
Elite Runner Lauren Fleshman Chooses Redwood Hill Farm Goat Yogurt
Women's Running Magazine
"I'm picky about my yogurt. I want it minimally processed, sweetish but low in sugar (and no cheating with fake sugars), high in protein, creamy and not from a giant cow-milking factory (that grosses me out). Goat yogurt is high in calcium, and naturally low in lactose so it doesn't mess with my stomach."
~ Elite Runner Lauren Fleshman
Wall Street Journal Features David Bice of Redwood Hill Farm as the "Goat Whisperer"
We Are Sonoma County – The Goat Whisperer
by Heather Irwin
Cult-worthy pinots and locally sourced menus are a given. But it's the people that give Sonoma County a flavor all its own.
There's an edgy vibe to its cultural scene and eclectic collection of towns and villages, which is a reflection of the people who call Sonoma County home — the entrepreneurial cast and crew who till the soil, grow the grapes (and milk the goats), have made the region's award-winning wine and food scene what it is today. As original as Sonoma County itself, they bring to life a quirky sensibility, and an energy that is captivating and contagious.

Redwood Hill Farm: Celebrating 45 Years As Family Owned Farm
Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery Inc. Backgrounder – Sustainably Farmed & Family Owned Since 1968
(Sebastopol, Calif.) In 1968, Kenneth and Cynthia Bice moved their family from Southern California to Sebastopol, 60 miles north of San Francisco among the picturesque redwoods of western Sonoma County. They were seeking a "back to the land" lifestyle. The Bice kids were in culture shock at first, but got involved raising and showing goats in 4-H, learning to love the land and goats in the process. Soon there was an excess of goat milk that the family began selling to local health food stores and Redwood Hill Farm® was born. Today, first-born Jennifer Bice owns and guides the goat dairy and creamery her parents founded as an exemplary ecopreneur in a style that is better described as "giving back to the land."

At Redwood Hill Goat Farm: Flopsy Started it All
We're celebrating a 45 year love affair with dairy goats!
In 1964, the Bice family moved from Los Angeles to Sonoma County and bought their first goat, "Flopsy" to provide milk for their evergrowing family . . . this was the beginning of their love for goats! In 1968, a boutique milking parlor and bottling room was built on the family farm. The family began selling raw goat milk to local health food stores and Redwood Hill Farm was born. Then in 1978, the eldest daughter, Jennifer Lynn Bice and her partner Steven Schack, with little more than $250 each and a passion for dairy goats, take over the farm. Fast forward to 2013 and Redwood Hill Farm is celebrating its 45th anniversary! Jennifer pledges the family's commitment to producing delicious dairy products of the highest quality, while providing a sustainable environment and using practices that benefit the animals, the land, and the people.

In a recent article by Diane Shannon, M.D., published in the January/February 2012 issue of the Physician Executive Journal (PEJ), the importance of direct communication between physicians is highlighted as an essential ingredient for effective care coordination.The article, entitled "Effective Physician-to-Physician Communication: An Essential Ingredient for Care Coordination," quotes Lon McPherson, MD, senior vice president of medical affairs and chief quality officer at Munroe Regional Medical Center as saying that "lack of direct communication between physicians leads to delays in patients receiving the assessment and treatment they need."Also included in the article are thoughts from Dr. Timothy B. Bullard, chief medical officer at Orlando Health. Dr. Bullard stated root cause analyses at his organization demonstrated that it is common to "uncover a gap in communication about a critical piece of information" which ultimately led to the adverse event in the first place.According to Bullard, in many instances a direct conversation between physicians could have prevented that communication gap and potentially averted the adverse event.If a hospital selects a sound clinical communication delivery platform, such as PerfectServe, it can reduce the occurrence of sentinel events often caused by the gaps mentioned in the PEJ article. By eliminating handoffs and speeding the delivery of critical lab values, PerfectServe creates greater opportunities for physician-to-physician and nurse-to-physician communication. This allows information to route faster, with greater accuracy, reliability and safety resulting in improved care coordination."The current processes found in most hospitals today, or lack thereof, have only widened the communication gap," said Terry Edwards, president and CEO of PerfectServe. "With a solid platform that gives doctors the opportunity to selectively filter and control how they receive clinical communication, it makes the practice of medicine more efficient while improve care coordination."About PerfectServeAdvancing care coordination across the continuum, PerfectServe's intelligent clinical communication platform makes it easy to connect clinicians — and push relevant clinical information — to the right physician at the right time, in the precise way each physician wishes to be reached. Based in Knoxville, Tenn., PerfectServe processes more than 35 million transactions annually, connecting more than 20,000 physicians in health systems and medical practices across 154 markets in the United States.

SRUR stalwart Ozan Kanik delivers his next slice of pounding Techno with the superb Back Ally Rally. Last time around we got a dousing of bass driven Techno with Adults Only which was very well received. Aside from that there was a lot of activity on the remix front with a monster remix on Oz Romita's revamped Idiots. Back Ally Rally comes packed to the hilt with no less than four top notch remixes as well as the original.
The Original Mix is a heavy hitter with pounding kicks and a throbbing bass that lurks in the rear while crispy open hats fill up the higher frequencies with a very cool release giving a nice aftertaste. A sinister sounding pad remains a constant throughout the track and adds a lot of depth to the sound alongside some super cool vocals that stand out brilliantly. A proper slice of pounding Techno grooves that will definitely be a go to track in your collection.
Canadian DJ and producer D-Unity debuts on SRUR with a stunning remix. With releases on various top quality labels like Universal Music, Toolroom, Yoshitoshi, Great Stuff, Stereo Productions, Ultra and Armada, and his own Beat Therapy Records we know we're in for a stomping good time. He's also played at various gigs all over the world where he delivers his own unique style through solid DJ sets, great to have him on board here. The remix certainly ramps up the groove with a tough, in your face pumping kick drum that really hits the mid-rift with great force. The bass is perfectly tweaked to merge beautifully with those kicks and the two together really will shale the bins no doubt. A nice and tight drum arrangement provides a smooth rhythm to the track as a constant pad hangs about the background. Great use of the vocals that work so well with the sound here making this a must have track for peak time madness.
Dutch DJ and producer Steve Mulder returns to SRUR with his brilliant remix. It's been a while since Steve graced these shores, back in 2013 he featured on our ADE sampler with Matador. Since then he has racked up a raft of releases on various labels including Toolroom Records, Hi Tek Records, Mad Hatter Recordings and Tegno Records, great to see him back. On the remix we are taken down the rabbit hole of Techno. From punchy kicks to bright hats and solid bass to hypnotic chants, we enter into a maelstrom of noise that blends together so effortlessly. The vocals are used sparingly allowing the arrangement to churn out its sublime grooves. A superb slice of Techno that be right at home in the darker rooms.
Netherlands based Don Ruijgrok debuts on SRUR and what an entrance he makes with his remix. Don can boast a very impressive release count and his work has gained the support of many top jocks including Richie Hawtin, Sasha Carassi, Slam, Axel Karakasis, Piatto, Electric Rescue, Secret Cinema, D.A.V.E. The Drummer and Tom Hades. His works can be found on the labels like Capsula, Globox, Plastic Rules, High Definition Records, MBD, Selected Records, LCMTC, Phobiq, Respekt Recordings, Driving Forces and Akoom Records. Nice to have him on board with this one. Nice big thumping kicks get us on the move alongside a sharp hat. A deep reverberating bass swells up from below and drives a solid Techno groove into our brains. The vocal gets a hefty dose of delay which really enhances the character of the sound. Cascading arp riffs fill in the gaps and take us on a swirling hypnotic ride before spitting us out back into the driving groove. Outstanding track that is a definite must have.
Atesh K. Is another debutant here at SRUR and we are thrilled to have him on board. Atesh has a longstanding electronic music career which started back in the 90's. Born in Cyprus he has always had an interest in music and began to DJ in the early 90's. By 2002 he had his first release on Berlin based DJ Sets Records. Since then he has released on many other labels and his music gets regular support from Richie Hawtin, Alex Flatner and Marco Bailey to name just a few. The remix begins life as cool bass note with distant percussions fading through. A monster kick takes over alongside a wonderful probing, deep bass that gives off a cool retro feel. Super tight drum arrangements provide a solid rhythm that will definitely get the dancing feet going. As the vocal fade up the intensity builds in the groove as that bass just eats into your brain forcing you to surrender. The break throws up a fantastic display of effects on the vocals that give a surreal edge to the sound before slamming right back into the main groove for the duration. Superb stuff that is not to be missed.

After a sublime remix on Quadran's, Animals Rebellion, Audio Noir kicks off 2015 with the superb Life, which comes packed with three awesome remixes as well as two original versions. 2014 was extremely busy for Australia's hardest working producer, a studio album, multiple releases and a plethora of remixes have put this guys at the top of his game. So much more to come from down under so make sure you stay tuned.
The Vox On mix intros with a cool scratchy percussion arrangement that leads into a pounding kick and sharp hat combi. Swirling strings bring a surreal feeling to the track with a melodic flavour that draws you in. The track breaks to reveal a stunning female vocal full of melancholy and the perfect contrast to the high pitched strings before descending into a deeper, darker progressive groove with the addition of a bubbling bass that adds a wonderfully warm texture to the sound. Excellent stuff yet again that will whet the appetite for those deep prog sets. Also, check out the Vox Off with the vocal stripped out to leave a sublime instrumental version.
First up on remix duties we have Alex Vidal with his deep and lush progressive grooves. Alex's last outing, Pieces Of A Dream back in the last quarter of 2014 was very well received indeed with support coming in from all angles. Here he injects some fantastic prog vibes into the remix right from the off as a nice punchy kick is joined by crispy hats and a rolling bass that fades up beautifully to dominate the track. In the background pads form up and provide a wonderful atmosphere to the sound that fits perfectly with the darker tones. The bass is complimented by some very cool chord stabs that evolve throughout the track. On the break we get a glimpse of the vocal with its playful yet haunting feel. A true deep and hypnotic slice here that you will not want to miss.
The ever popular Yuriy From Russia is next up on the remix. In 2014 Yuriy churned out multiple remixes for Bonzai, including a remix on Audio Noir's Almost Famous, that gained lots of attention and charted across many platforms. He also got showings on many compilations including Club Traxx Progressive House 13 and Bonzai & Friends Underground Progressive Collection among others. Here the track intros with a cool round of percussions that layer up into a smooth flowing rhythmic vibe. A deep and lush bass takes over the track and drives the groove beautifully into progressive utopia. Swirling pads litter the background and bring a melodic edge to the sound as the vocals tease their way through. The track builds nicely and those playful vocals really add great character. The bass develops into a groovy mover as various notes begin to cascade through. Another top notch effort from Yuriy that will be a welcome addition to any set.
Narel aka Nick Simmons rounds up this package with his Remix Parts 1 & 2. We last saw Narel on Green Martian with the outstanding The View At 2 AU. On top of that he also got an appearance on the chart topping Bonzai & Friends compilation. Great to see this guy back and we hope to see more of him in the future. The remix today comes in two parts, the intro brings a myriad of synths and strings that form intricate and colourful patterns. The track takes off with a fantastic punchy kick that really dominates and works perfectly with the mid range sounds. A somewhat laidback groove comes off the bass as it meanders through the sound working in tandem with the melodic flow of the track before it begins its rise with superb note changes. On the break we get drawn into a beautiful melodic sequence as cascading arps fade through and lead us into the second half of the remix which becomes a slightly more upbeat affair. The vocal sweeps through the sound throughout and brings with it a contrasting melancholy. A stunning journey into the progressive world from Narel making this a track you will not want to miss.

Veteran DJ and producer Quadran aka Philippe Van Mullem makes a welcome return with the fantastic Animals Rebellion which comes packed with two superb remixes. His last outing Rumour performed very well indeed with much support across the board. Since then his tracks have appeared on multiple compilations through various labels, including the 2012 stomper Vertigo which appears on the chart topping Bonzai & Friends mega pack. Delighted to see this man return and we look forward to more in the future.
First up is the Original Mix which sets out with an energetic intro filled with a rolling bassline and a nice punchy kick alongside crispy hats. The bassline gets you locked right into the groove as various sounds begin to filter through, creating a cool, colourful image. The track breaks to reveal an atmospheric pad that brings a sense of euphoria to the sound. The pads ebb and flow as a myriad of cascading arps shine through and give the track its hook. Quite a nostalgic sounding track here from a master of the original trance sound and well worth queuing up in those upbeat progressive sets.
The man from down under, Audio Noir, delivers Another Audio Noir Odyssey, and yet again we find ourselves totally locked into his tribalistic, futuristic vibes. 2014 proved to be extremely productive for this talented artist, he had his hand in multiple remixes as well as an exhaustive release schedule. On top of all that he had his debut album, Almost Famous see the light of day, and on the back of that we saw two volumes full of top class remixes from various tracks off the album. No doubt 2015 will be even bigger, we hope so. Here the remix intros with a cool glitchy sound which is soon joined by a tough edged bassline that fills the sound beautifully. A steady rhythm is formed with the addition of sharp hats, snappy claps and a tight tribal fuelled slapped drum arrangement. The intro gains intensity with a sudden burst of rich synth pads as distant kicks tease their way in, the track fades off to reveal a very cool spoken vocal before we slam right into the 4×4 beat we've been craving. The relentless bassline and the sub retro synths make for a truly hypnotic experience as the track settles in for the duration. The break hones in on those wonderfully sharp pads and takes us back into the main groove with ease. Another top quality slice, not to be missed.
Relaunch returns with another absolute stomper of a remix. His stunning sounds continue to garner great support from many around the world, as seen with his last release, Sleepwalking EP. A very much in-demand artist whose sounds span various labels and cover various genres with ease. His radioshow, Electronic Delight just recently passed its 50th episode and has an ever increasing fan base. Expect more from this guy in 2015. On the remix he holds no bounds as he unleashes the power of a strong and driving progressive groove on our senses. The intro crashes in with wonderful pads and sharp synth layers alongside solid beats and cool FX. The bassline lurks in the background with its deep drone allowing the myriad of mid range sounds time to play. The short break offers a respite before slamming right back into this full on prog monster of a tune. Perfect ammo for those late night sets.
The Balance Mix intros with a solid bass and kick combi that raises the energy levels right from the off. Shuffling hats give off a smooth rhythmic flow and blend perfectly with the deeper bass and punchy kicks. Big focus on the melodies with wispy pads that bring a richness to the sound, alongside a catchy note sequence. The synths are where it's at here, big trance-like stabs with an infectious appeal that will definitely raise the roof at any venue. Top notch stuff and a definite must have.

Debut appearance on Piston for this trio of artists with the superb two tracker entitles Bozza Grezza EP. Qubiko is made up by DJ and producer duo Giuseppe and Andrea who got together in 2010 in an unlikely partnership. Since then they have racked up residencies in the likes of K.Lab and Monica as well as a vast array of releases on many labels including multiple remixes. These guys continue to make waves in the House scene and are definitely ones to watch. Fabio is an Italian DJ and producer who started out as a drummer and at the age of 23 he ventured into the DJing world securing residencies at many top venues. He has worked with a host of artists over the years and has a longstanding connection with Qubiko having collaborated with them over the years. A fine addition to the Piston stable, we hope to see more from these guys in the future.
Bozza Grezza gets right into a deep and dirty groove from the off with a cool, crispy hat and chunky kick combo alongside a tight percussion section. We get drawn into the rhythmic nature of the track as the expertly crafted drums become a big feature providing the groove beautifully. Brilliantly effected vocals come through and bring striking textures to the sound in their various forms. Superb stuff that will get any dancefloor rocking with its bouncy beats.
Inside intros with a high pitched string, muted kicks and an inviting open hat which leads up to a strong punchy kick that takes over beautifully. A big, brash dirty bassline soon enters the fray with its menacing groove that will get the booty shakin no doubt. Superbly tweaked vocals litter the sound throughout and give the track its character as late night grooving monster. Perfect fodder for the late night sessions, not to be missed.

Son Of Gabriela debuts on Eyepatch with this two track deep stomper entitled Just Be EP. Son Of Gabriela is the new moniker of Solartoff who has provided some top quality work on Eyepatch as well as superb remixes of various artists including Van Czar. He has also appeared on two of our compilations, Deep Worx 10 and My House Is Your House 10. No doubt we are in for a real treat with this new project and we hope to see more soon.
First up is the Analog Tape Vocal Mix of the outstanding Instantly. The intro features a beautifully constructed drum and percussion sequence that gets the deep vibes flowing nicely and is complimented by a soft kick that brings out the groovy rhythms. Intricate synth patterns caress the sound with warm tones and keep with the almost laidback nature of the track. An outstanding sultry female vocal runs throughout the track and becomes the main focus as the narrative unfolds giving the track a great character. Top notch stuff that is most definitely not to be missed.
The Sun intros with a warm synth pad that lulls you into its embrace with the help of a subtle percussion arrangement. Throbbing basses soon follow and takes us deep into the groove as sharp chord stabs litter the midrange. The track picks up a groovy persona with the introduction of various riffs on the keys while higher pitched strings float across the sound. A definite late night groover here that is the perfect tonic to wash away a hard days work.

As vinyl continues its steady rise we are pleased to present our next vinyl release, Bonzai Worx Volume 5. After the success of previous wax releases we trawled through our catalogue and came up with four of the hottest and grooviest cuts to get the etching treatment. Tracks from Van Czar featuring Sugar Love, Ecco, Sa.Du and Alfredo Mena as well as a remix from Manuel Palmitesta have all been selected this time for their diverse ranges. Expect deep, groovy, sultry, edgy, gritty and downright banging tracks on this limited pressing.
Sa.Du's Imaging Your Self gives off deep and sultry sounds as a provocative female vocal swamps the vibe. Cool rhythms are formed out of a tight drum arrangement with punchy kicks and sharp hats. The bassline gels everything together brilliantly and on the break a female vocal comes to life with a huge diva-esque chorus, top notch production in effect.
Ecco's Switch gets the remix treatment from Bonzai debutant Manuel Palmitesta. The track intros with a punchy kick and classic percussion set up with an in your face hypnotic siren styled synth note that dominates the sound. A very subtle yet effective bass sits in the rear and binds the track together beautifully. On the break a techy element filters into the sound as the percussions keep the groove flowing before we slam right back into full swing with an air raid siren for good measure. Top notch stuff.
Alfredo Mena gives us his track The Scrawl with its full on techno vibes. A deep throbbing sub bass is joined by cool clipped kicks and a superb percussion line followed up with crispy clear hats. Cool vocal samples give the track a darker feel and makes this a strong favourite for the darker rooms. A big feature in the track is the expertly arranged percussion section, tight and to the point as various rhythms filter through alongside a more energetic secondary bass and a continuous metallic perc hit.
Van Czar joins forces with Sugar Love on Love Trip which intros with a tough bass sound and an enticing sultry vocal. The track settles into a full on Techno groove with punchy kicks and super crisp hats alongside that gritty edged bass. The vocals continue to lull you into their lustful grasp and adds a real dynamic contrast to the sound. A real powerful Techno slice yet again from Van and no doubt this one will see a lot of playtime.

Zas and Sanze have been at the forefront of Bonzai Progressive label for many years now and they never disappoint. 2014 saw multiple releases and remixes with great feedback coming from many quarters. The summer saw the release of You Know Why which was followed up by remixes for the likes of Dark Soul Project and Ecco, the guys also featured on the chart topping Bonzai & Friends Progressive Underground Collection which gained the number 1 spot over at Beatport in January 2015. The Preachers is backed up with two top notch remixes.
The Original Mix gets us going with a superb upbeat intro filled with chunky kicks, tight drums and a rising synth which is soon joined by crispy hats that get the rhythm flowing. The synths intensify with the addition of a wonderfully constructed voice effect before descending into a short break where the lush bassline takes over and dominates the sound. The main break throws up a very cool piano sequence alongside fantastic vocals that keep the house vibe alive before we get thrust back into the main track for the duration. A real prog house stomper here that you will definitely not want to miss.
The hugely talented Rishi K. is first up on remix duty. We last saw Rishi back in October 2014 with the widely regarded Black Ice and then soon after with an appearance on our Bonzai & Friends compilation. Rishi is also active on many other labels with a raft of releases covering various styles, always one to watch. On the remix Rishi gets right into house music mode with an absolute banging sound. The intro boasts the classic kick and hat combi with a sharp clap on the 2 and 4 as smooth house keys lurk around the background. The bassline plunders into the groove with its funky tones marrying perfectly with the outstanding vocal, all of which makes for a proper booty shakin experience. On the break we get a fantastic stabbing piano chord sequence that solidifies the groove beautifully. An absolute must have track that will fill floors easily.
Steve Sai is up next on the remix and he delivers the goods in his own unique style yet again. Steve's track, Stardust saw a release during the Summer of 2014 and grabbed a lot of attention as expected. Recently he has made appearances on a few of our compilations including Bonzai & Friends, Afterhour Trax 14 and Club Traxx Deep & Dark 2. Much more to come from this guy so well worth looking out for. The remix intros with a cool pulsing bass and tight drum sequence with rising synths and short vocal hits. A nice and phat kick soon joins the party as the bassline comes to the fore with its bubbling grooves. A lot of attention is paid to the superbly crafted drum patterns that give the track a lot of rhythm which will get the floors moving no doubt. The break focuses in on the bass with wispy sounds accompanying the vocals and beautiful piano before we get thrust back into the main track for the duration. Top notch stuff from Steve and will no doubt turn a few heads.

El Niño might be the media darling of climate phenomena, but El Niño's sister-fittingly called La Niña-is responsible for something that no skier should ever forget. During the 1998/1999 ski season, Mt. Baker in Washington recorded the most snow of any location in the world during a single season. That amount was 1,140 inches, or in terms you might be able to get your head around, 95 feet, which is about the size of a big pine tree in Washington. While La Niña is not directly responsible for this astronomical amount of snow, it definitely played a role. So let's dig deeper into what La Niña is and how it affects snowfall across the U.S.
La Nina generally forces the jet stream to take a more northern track from the Pacific Ocean through the U.S. This increases the chance of snow across the Pacific Northwest states like Washington and Oregon and also can decrease snowfall across southern states. Copyright: NOAA
In the late 1800s, Peruvian sailors nicknamed a warming of the ocean waters off the west coast of South America "El Niño" because it occurred around Christmas. However, because most things in nature tend to balance out, El Niño was not alone. An equal but opposite phenomena occurs as well, and this cooling of the ocean water was subsequently called La Niña. The technical definition is a cooling of the ocean of more then 0.5 Degrees Celsius (about 1 Degree Fahrenheit) for three consecutive months in an area along the equator from the west coast of South America further west toward the central Pacific Ocean. Okay, that's a mouthful of a definition so simplify the details and think of it as a cooling of the central Pacific Ocean.
La Niña by itself is an interesting scientific topic to explore, but more importantly for most skiers is the fact that La Niña can influence global weather patterns. A large change in ocean temperature across a large area of ocean will cause changes in weather patterns around the globe. Remember, the entire earth system is linked together, so oceans, land areas and the atmosphere all influence each other. Since the strength of La Niña (the cooling of the ocean) peaks during the northern hemisphere fall, winter and early spring, the effects on weather from La Niña also peak during this time. Some of these effects include wet weather in Australia and Indonesia, dry weather over Peru and the southern U.S., and a change in the jet stream across North America which influences the location of the heaviest snow.

Yes, very weak character/story development. And it promotes a lie: "science" might be cool, but I can assure you not one bit of my work week involves spaceships.
Of course you did. Happy for you both.
As for military aviation.. well... you fly the way the company tells you or you don't keep the job. I do not miss flying w/a helmet.
Aviation is serious (and so is driving). If you are really that intimidated to fly, then perhaps you shouldn't act as PIC.
I own two aircraft, one of which I built. I also commute to work in my aircraft (which requires transit across a MOA and Class B, rain or shine). No drama.
It is hard for me to believe that a camera flash was so disorienting they couldn't maintain straight and level until the spots went away. Don't they teach you "danger rangers" how to trim an airplane? I rarely engage the autopilot, half my flight to work is hands off and drinking coffee.

No need to get all lathered up and angry! Relax! Clean your guns, watch some NASCAR and enjoy some BBQ pork rinds.

Google Play Services is like iTunes for Android, there is an agent on the phone which does such chores as:

Villa set for McGeady offer after agreeing to let Milner go
Aston Villa have agreed to let midfielder James Milner leave for Manchester City and will now go after Celtic's Aiden McGeady as his replacement.
Milenr has been linked with City for much of the summer but there has been plenty of uncertainty about the move with Villa not prepared to lose out on the deal.
It is reported that the deal, which will include Stephen Ireland going to Villa, will be finalised in the next day or so.
Now Villa, who can only buy after they sell, will turn their attentions to McGeady who will cost them around £10million.
The 24-year old winger has been in talks with Russian club Spartak Moscow but prefers a move to England and now that opportunity has arisen, he may get his wish.

Custom military coins are coins or any form of medallion embedded with the emblem or insignia of a military organization. These coins are given and held by the members of a military group. Conventionally, custom military coins are given as proof of membership, especially when challenged by another group. These are also given to increase the self-esteem of military men. Service members of the military organization also collect these coins. Usually, unit commanders provide this coin to a member, who has shown excellence in his performance or any form of achievement, as a sign of recognition. Some military organizations give custom military coins to those who visit their camp.
Many stories are made about the history of custom military coins. Based on the most widespread story, these coins were first made in World War I. A lot of American volunteers from different cities headed the flying squadrons. Some of them were rich students from renowned universities like Harvard and Yale. These students decided to join the war instead of taking their midterm examinations. In a certain squadron, a rich lieutenant distributed bronze medallions among his subordinates. One of these subordinates kept it in a tiny leather bag tied around his neck.
After receiving the military coin, the squadron's aircraft were heavily damaged by fire. This situation forced the pilot to land near the enemy's territory which made it easy for the German patrol to capture him. To prevent him from escaping, the German army gathered all his personal things except for the tiny leather bag, which is tied around his neck. He was transported to a little French town. His men attacked the German army, giving him the chance to escape. He disguised himself by wearing civilian clothing and went to the frontlines, avoiding all German patrols.
Afterwards, he stopped at a French outpost. However, French troops became strict in guarding the area since there are many saboteurs who often dress like civilians. The French guards did not recognize his American accent, and believed that he was one of the saboteurs. They decided to execute him since he has no proof of allegiance. However, he showed his military coin to the executioners. The French guards recognized the emblem of the military organization embedded on the medallion. The execution was postponed long enough for the American to prove his identity. In the end, instead of killing him, they let him drink some wine.
After that incident, squadron leaders ensured that all men will be given custom military coins as a sign of allegiance. Another tradition is to challenge a member to show his medallion. If the member cannot produce his own medallion, then he needs to give a drink that the challenger wants. If the member successfully produced a medallion, he can ask for a drink of his choice from the challenger. This tradition has been done throughout World War I and even after.
Based on another story, these coins started way back in World War II. Personnel of the Office of Strategic Service used these coins when they were deployed in Nazi. These coins served as "Bona Fides" in every meeting to identify one's identity. This became their strategy to ensure that no spy can join their meeting.
In the present, military coins may be given by the unit commanders to the members upon joining their group. Such tokens can also serve as a piece of recognition to improve one's morale. Some military organizations usually sell these coins in a fundraising event or any event commemorating special occasions. Giving military coins to the members of a military organization is still done in the present time.

Fall vs spring soil amending
This may seem a bit early to ask, I was wondering if there's an advantage to amending the soil at the end of the year in late fall or wait until early spring and amend at the first of the year? If I amend the soil in spring how long do I need to wait until planting?
IMHO, that's like asking "when's a good time to go fishing?" NOW!! :-)
Possible exception would be if the soil amendment is a chemical fertilize on the side of a hill which will then wander away over the winter.
The sooner you get "good stuff" in your soil the sooner it can start "amending."
Agree that it all depends on what you mean by 'amending' - what with?
Lots of good compost in both the fall AND the spring is ideal so it isn't spring or fall, it is both as well as throughout the year as a top dressing.
If it is fresh manure you are adding then fall, not spring is best. If it is composted well-aged manure then spring 2-4 weeks before planting. If you are talking about chemical fertilizers then most of the labels I have read say things like 2 weeks prior to planting and use as side-dressing through out the season.
So more details are needed to really answer your question.
I prefer fall, so we can heap high right on the empty beds rather than make a separate pile to compost & spread in spring. Any extra come spring can go on other beds that had plants overwintering.
Plus in fall there is less demand for the horse manure nearby & I can get all we have energy to haul.
A few years ago started using burlap over the manure to keep moist & loose until planting. Prevents weeds from blowing in & sprouting up plus so easy to turn under if desired or plant right in it.

I'm using Beersmith and here's my process:
Adjust temp for equip [checked]
Single infusion, batch sparge
10 gallon round cooler
CDN DTQ450X thermometer (calibrated to ice water)
5 gallon batches
I add 7-10 degrees to whatever Beersmith tells me for strike water, and dump it into my cooler, close the lid, and let it sit for 5 mins to preheat. Then I take off the lid and stir for a few minutes until I am 3 degrees higher than what Beersmith says the strike water should be. Then I start adding my grains, but I slowly add them while stirring, over the course of 2-3 mins.
I check the temp, and I am anywhere from 2-5 degrees low.
Now, I could just add my grains at +7 degrees, and stir like mad to my desired temp...but what is everyone else doing? It seems people are hitting the temps exactly following Beersmith's temps. Am I over stirring?
I usually add about 2 gallons of hot water to my cooler to preheat while my strike water is heating up. I empty the tun and add half my grain. When its at the temp, what ever my calculations are for the style. I had half of the strike water and grain and stir, easier to stir half then the hole thing(dough balls). Then I add the rest of my grain and then the rest of my water. I hit it everytime.
Do you have Mash Tun Specific Heat set at 0.30? It's in equipment profiles under your mash tun. Those round coolers usually will require 10-12 degrees over mash temp if preheated. It's easier to cool the mash than raise the heat, so I'd shoot for 11-12 degrees over with a 5-10 minute preheat prior with separate hot water. Put the preheat in, close the top, let sit for 5-10, then open, dump water, add your mash water and grains to 12 degrees over desired mash temp, stir it up, take temp, adjust with ice if needed, then cover and mash.
-Retired Homebrewer
I don't dump my preheat water, just add all strike water at 185*, wait 10-15 mins then when the water hits 169* I dough in. My old Coleman cooler looses about 13* with dough in so I usually hit 156-157. From here I either button it up or keep stirring until I hit my target temp
The only way I have figured out how to do this with BeerSmith is to set up additional mash processes.
Good luck
Yeah, something is off. I do have the mash tun specific heat set to .30.
Last batch Beersmith told me to use 168.4* strike water to hit a 153* mash temp. That's 15* over desired mash temp, and you guys are saying 10-12*.
I added 3* for good measure (171*), and still ended up 5* too low.
I admit I didn't take the grain temp this time, but they had been in the 75* house for a few days, I just put down 72*.
I don't get the point of dumping pre-heat water, unless it has cooled.
I heat my strike water to about 175 for 153 and I hit it every time (no preheat and Rubbermaid mash tun). I don't follow Beersmith. I just do what works for me. I suggest doing the same.
From my experience: 5 min isn't enough to preheat a cooler. 15 is better.
I don't do any calculations on the mash tun. It's just blank in BeerSmith. If it's preheated to the same temp at the strike water, it should make much/any difference.
If I make sure the amount of strike water is right, the temp of the strike water is right, the temp of the grain is right, and the tun in preheated, then BeerSmith is exactly right. It might be off by 1 (one!) degree, but usually isn't.
So I suggest: check your thermometer. Preheat the tun for 15+ min. Double check the water volume Check the grain temp. Try again - it might work.
Really there aren't that many variables. If the math is right and the temps are wrong, then you're messing up one these things.
I also agree with letting the cooler preheat longer. I too had a prob with low mash temps till I let the cooler sit longer with the lid on before I stirred to get to strike temp. Now I preheat for at least 20 min then i dough in 12 deg over mash temp.
I have been adding my strike water at the number that Beersmith says. I take a gallon or two of water at 110+ to preheat. I usually end up a couple of degrees high and stir well for a minute or two and close the tun when I reach my strike temps.
I guess I have my setup numbers about right on.

Project Sam, a Holland based orchestral sample development company, was in search of an epic trailer for their new product Lumina Symphobia 3. The samples of this product are designed for scoring films, video games and television shows in the fantasy genre.
To visualize Lumina Symphobia 3 we used floating rocks, surrealistic landscapes, ancient ruins and mysteries to create a journey through impossible worlds. It results in an fantasy trailer (without a movie), which was quite the challenge. Woodwork was supported by Jeroen Peter on the matte paintings plus cover art and Michiel Krop for his additional 3d work. Behold this epic trailer!

Earth and ♫ Blue Sky Mine ♫
... but if I work all day on the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
And if I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
And some have sailed from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothing's as precious
As a hole in the ground !
In the end the rain comes down !
That's Cool!
Why bother to travel the ends of the earth to capture scenes that can only be had in the comfort and safety of your own backyard Itallica ? It's a real rock carving , but I created it , and no one else has access to it !
Cool. LIKE

very captivating image, the blue lines against the red of the rock look great! and the tribal design is really beautiful too!
Thank you Nel-Caro !
Hello Man in the Maze - I carved and painted this design on a flat rock ( sandstone ) about 15 years ago and sprayed it with a protective coating - it currently resides on the mantle above my fireplace - I plan on hiding it in an obscure canyon in southern Utah ( next trek down there ) and maybe someone will find it 2000 years from now and wonder ...
ha ha ha well done, but in any case after 2000 years will not be a hoax any more!
I love the Utah!!!! One of the most beautiful places in the world in my view!
Hello Man in the Maze - petroglyphs and pictographs were " The Facebook / Panoramio of the Original People " ! Totally agree with your view of southern Utah - it's The Greatest Earth on Show !!!

Companies regarded as good places to work consistently outperform their competitors. Michael Burchell, partner and director at the Great Place to Work Institute, explains why.
September 23, 2010 9:09 by shafeer
How is your company perceived by your employees and by prospective employees in the labour market? Is it seen as a great workplace and, if it is, how many people actually know about it? The value of your employer brand rests in being both worthy and being recognised. It can be a key enabler of business success, but how many companies understand that being an employer of choice should be part of their business strategy to begin with?
As companies across the Gulf region emerge from the recent recession and rethink how to succeed in the new market environment, the best companies will focus on their workplace as a key element of that strategy. Not only does focusing on the workplace make good business sense, it may very well be the largest wellspring of untapped competitive advantage.
The Great Place to Work® Institute has been researching what makes workplaces great for over 20 years. We survey and evaluate companies in more than 40 countries looking at who they are, what they do to foster a great workplace and why it matters. One of our consistent findings, irrespective of geography or culture, is that companies with great workplaces tend to do better financially.
Why is this?
First, employees in great workplaces are more engaged with their work and in the organisation. This translates to a higher level of cooperation and stronger commitment to their company's mission. Let's take for example the companies that made it onto Europe's 100 Best List. Of the total number of employees surveyed, 88 percent reported high levels of cooperation in order to get work done. This stands in stark contrast to the industry average where studies indicate that upwards of 60 percent of employees are actively disengaged with their job. So what happens when you have almost 9 out of every 10 employees ready to give their best to your organisation? Significant financial returns: The European 100 Best Companies recorded on average 15.4 percent growth in revenue; more than double the results of a comparative peer group study.
