Mentors & Motivators – Meet Cheryl Platz
Through my role in Webgrrls International and as the NYC Webgrrls chapter leader, I have the privilege and the opportunity to meet some very interesting and inspirational women whose stories are not shared widely enough nor loudly enough.
We are launching a series of blog posts interviewing some women who are accomplishing some amazing things with the hope that their stories will encourage, inspire, and motivate you in your career, business, or personal life.
Meet Cheryl Platz. Cheryl is a User Experience Designer at Microsoft (server and management studios team) and Board Member/Marketing Lead for IGNITE
While we're busy censoring ourselves or timidly waiting for the right moment to make ourselves heard, others are seizing those opportunities. ~ Cheryl Platz
What is your background and how did you get into the usability field?
I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University. I also studied in their Entertainment Technology graduate program for a year, which helped me in my initial foray into video game production.
When I was still in high school, I was always very interested in art and computer science, and had difficulty choosing between the two when it came to looking at schools. It wasn't until I visited Carnegie Mellon as a prospective student that I heard about interaction design for the first time. A field that combines computer science, visual design, and cognitive psychology? It sounded perfect, and I knew at that moment I had found the career I'd been searching for.
What is it about usability that you most enjoy, or find most rewarding?
Interaction design (known by any number of other terms – user experience design, usability engineering, etc) allows me to solve complex technical problems and to see how my changes are improving the lives of our users. Whether we're working to lessen the chance of critical mistakes or simply removing frustration from someone's life, we're leaving things better than they were when we started. Often, we're enabling someone to accomplish a task they weren't able to complete previously. It's extremely gratifying to see a happy reaction from one of our customers in real time.
What's your favorite milestone in your career or business?
In a matter of months, it will be shipping System Center Configuration Manager 2012 – it's by far the largest, most complicated challenge I've faced, and I've been working on the project for over 3 years now. In an increasingly agile software world, such extended projects are extremely rare.
But until that moment, my favorite professional accomplishment is my work as lead Producer on a Nintendo DS-exclusive video game called "Disney Friends" that takes inspiration from Nintendogs and allows kids to establish friendships with Disney characters. I've always been fond of positive, family friendly gaming and entertainment options, owing largely to my time working at a Sesame Street theme park for my first job. Disney Friends was the type of game I'd choose to make, and my entire team was extremely proud of the results. It's interesting when you compare video game work to the interaction design on IT products that I'm doing now. Games, in a way, are just interfaces that tell a story.
Confidence is one of the most valuable assets a woman can have – confidence in herself, in her ability to learn and adapt, and in her ability to deliver results.
What major obstacle/barrier/conflict have you faced and how did you overcome it?
A common theme when working on interaction design at large companies is that the development teams have been operating for years without any collaboration with interaction designers. It is exceptionally hard to prove your worth to these teams, and my current project was no exception.
Early in the project, we made a point of getting quantitative measurements of how our work improved the user experience of the product. On my first feature engagement, where we redesigned a complex feature from the previous version of the product, we managed to increase task success rates on that feature by almost 50%. That presented a compelling case for our work, and over time we established very constructive partnerships with our program manager counterparts on the development team.
What are the common mistakes made by companies when it comes to usability?
The most common "mistake" is ignoring interaction design as a distinct discipline that benefits from specialized attention, assuming that it's all common sense. The problem is largely that our goal is to make experiences intuitive and seamless – if we achieve this, then suddenly a product looks effortless. Outside observers don't always realize how much interaction design work – subtle visual design choices like colors and alignment, or larger applications of cognitive psychology – makes a difference when it comes time to use a product.
Another "mistake" I see frequently is investing time and money in the investigation of usability problems, but failing to commit resources to fix the problems that are discovered, whether big or small. A fix that seems trivial may have a disproportionately large positive impact on the end usability of the product, if only the time is taken to make the fix.
Which websites do you admire from a usability perspective?
That's a tough one – one of the curses of being in usability and interaction design is that you see all the rough edges that could have been addressed differently!
One of the sites I find myself most fond of at the moment is mint.com, a free financial management website. Mint gives all sorts of information to me in a way that doesn't overwhelm me, and it's made me a far more active participant in my own financial management and retirement planning.
Do all websites need to do some form of usability testing? And if they do, how should they get started? Can you recommend some tools that you use?
Any usability testing is better than no usability testing. Of course, it's always great to get a large number of participants. But if you can't afford a large test, even one or two participants is enough to get some valuable insight. One of the hardest challenges is finding the right participants (unless you're working on development tools, your tests shouldn't be on the product team). In addition, it's important to remember to let your user do the talking – if you intervene too much or ask leading questions, you won't be getting an honest, unbiased assessment.
One interesting approach that's starting to emerge is remote testing, where a combination of video chat (like Skype) and desktop sharing can be used to watch a participant test in real time from anywhere in the world. If you don't have access to a usability lab, you might be able to set something up along these lines.
You don't need to change who you are to be successful, but at the same time there's no reason not to familiarize yourself with the rules of the game.
What is the latest, greatest technology that helped you make a quantum leap in your work?
This is an interesting question, since most of the tools I use have been around for a while (Adobe CS4 products, the Microsoft Office suite, etc.) One of the greatest luxuries I've appreciated as an interaction designer at Microsoft is the ability to watch usability tests in real time from anywhere on or off campus. I think that over time, telepresence technologies like Skype will make it more feasible to test with users regardless of their physical location – a big boon for us, since our pool of test participants in the Seattle region is limited.
Outside of work you are involved in theater and perform all the time. Have you found that having a creative outlet that is not tech related help you with your work?
Absolutely! The more I expose myself to the "outside" world, the more potential inspiration l find. In addition, acting is particularly helpful in user experience design in that it forces you to see the world through another person or character's perspective.
While I do perform in a lot of musical theater, I find that it's my time spent doing improv comedy that helps me the most on a daily basis. Learning to think on my feet helps me during those challenging question sessions after a presentation, and the games we use to warm up our minds before a show also turn out to be very useful brainstorming tools.
Cool! Can you describe some of the games that we can play to have more productive brainstorming sessions in our businesses?
There are hundreds of improv games out there, and a good number of them have the potential to improve a brainstorming session either directly or by increasing team connection and energy level. The easiest to play is "Wordball" – players simply stand in a circle and pass words to one another. When you receive a word, you have to pass the first word that comes to mind to another player via hand, speech, and eye contact. It doesn't matter *why* you thought of the word, because the goal is to stop you from overthinking and getting in the way of your own ideas.
Another example game that might help with idea generation is "Categories" – players take turns choosing a category, and each time a category is chosen players go around the circle offering one thing that fits in that category, with no repetition. For team-building, one-word-at-a-time stories -where you go around the table or circle telling a story, but each person only contributes a single word on their turn – are a good way to get people in the habit of listening to each other. Even without using improv games, the principles of improvisation taught in any improv curriculum generally prepare you to be a better collaborator and free thinker at the office.
You volunteer your time to help expose young women to technology. Can you share some of your experiences and what in your opinion is the biggest barrier to getting more girls involved in technology?
I strongly believe that the biggest problem we face is the continued perception that technology careers are solitary, masculine endeavors. In reality, an astonishing array of career options is available to technically proficient women – but that's not the message these girls are receiving. I'm lucky enough to work on a team at Microsoft (the Server and Management Studios) that is nearly 50% female, but I know we're not the norm and I'd love to help create a world where more women get this sort of opportunity.
The organization I work with, IGNITE (Inspiring Girls Now In Technology Evolution), makes a point of bringing professional technical women to local schools. As it turns out, many of these girls have never met a woman that holds a technical or engineering job. I was stunned to hear the girls confirm this in person. Their perception of these careers is thus driven by what they see in the media.
Another important point I make to the girls is that your job doesn't have to define you. You don't instantly become that geek caricature you see onscreen the moment you learn your first programming language. It is entirely possible to be a vibrant, feminine technology professional, thanks to the hard work of the pioneering ladies in technology that came before us. By sharing our stories in schools, we're trying to get that message out there, one girl at a time.
What are the qualities & characteristics that a professional woman needs to succeed in today's fast paced world of technology?
Well, many of the conditions for success are the same for women and men. Aside from those more common characteristics, women need to be ready to treat themselves and their own time with respect. We're a bit more likely to encounter initial resistance when establishing ourselves with a new group. Confidence is one of the most valuable assets a woman can have – confidence in herself, in her ability to learn and adapt, and in her ability to deliver results,
I think it's also tremendously helpful for women, especially women leaders, to understand the differences in the way men and women stereotypically communicate in an office environment. I've been in some fascinating classes that go into the little subtleties, such as the fact that women are more likely to phrase things as questions rather than statements. You don't need to change who you are to be successful, but at the same time there's no reason not to familiarize yourself with the rules of the game.
What sage words of advice (words of wisdom) can you offer to other professional women to help them achieve their own success?
Never let someone else tell you that you don't belong at the table – most of all yourself. We are often our own biggest enemy, and while we're busy censoring ourselves or timidly waiting for the right moment to make ourselves heard, others are seizing those opportunities.
Sometimes I describe it in terms of acting – if you walk into a meeting and take on the character of the professional woman you want to be, others will treat you like that woman.
At the Interaction 11 conference you are speaking on "How Interaction Design can entice a new generation of women". Can you give us a little teaser from your talk?
My answer to the previous question is a big part of it – the continued perception problem that keeps girls away from technology careers due to the limited exposure they've had.
But it's just as hard to retain technical women once they embark on a computer science education, and from my own personal experience I believe this is because many curriculums aren't designed to adapt to the academic interests of female students.
Interaction design is a discipline that draws heavily from three subjects: visual design, cognitive psychology, and computer science. Visual design is typically a gender-balanced career choice, and psychology is actually a woman-dominated career. If we were to incorporate interaction design courses and problems into computer science curriculums, we could show how technology can apply to fields traditionally considered more desirable by female students, and hopefully increase the number of women who eventually choose technical careers in the process.

Photo of the Week: Diversifying Her Farm
April 15, 2014
With TechnoServe's assistance, Cándida Busto and other cocoa farmers in Nicaragua are growing better quality cocoa while integrating fruit trees into their farms for additional income.
Cocoa was an inheritance for Cándida Busto – her parents left her about 20 cocoa trees on their farm in southern Nicaragua. With support from the PIMCO Foundation, TechnoServe is working with Cándida and other local farmers to improve the quality of their cocoa and sell their beans in specialty markets.
Cándida has adopted a new production system to grow plantains, avocado and coconut together with her cocoa. She has more than doubled her income from fruit, and she and her fellow producers are developing a business plan to establish a collection and processing center for their cocoa.

Next interview was with the Area Director in person like I said he was great. Had another interview with the Partner of a location and he just told me what to expect in the position.Interview Questions

They take their recruitment process pretty seriously, investing the amount of time necessary to learn about each candidate they contact. It takes a little while, but they're courteous along the way and always keep you updated. The recruiter contacted me via email and we had a phone screening a few days later. She had me take a skills assessment and then after a few days she invited me to interview in person at a later date. In-person interviews were 2 hours, very organized, and they are extremely welcoming.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at Darden.Interview Details
I applied to a position in passing while surfing the internet, only to forget that I had done so until I was contacted for an interview. I interviewed for a low level position that has no barring on why the company is performing poorly, but you'd have a hard time knowing that given the unnecessary high standard they have for their candidates. If only upper management was scrutinized to the same degree that fresh candidates are scrutinized for low level analyst work. Sorry we all don't have 10 years experience contributing to a declining brand! Interview was average compared to others, just really bizarre standards for a company that is bleeding money.
They sold off Red Lobster and they're desperately trying to restructure Olive Garden, but unfortunately for them, they reacted far too slowly to the obvious changing tastes in their industry. Their gaffe with Obamacare was a huge blow to their reputation as well.
Even if you get through their process, avoid this place. Open the business section, they had their time in the sun and they don't want fresh talent to help them.Interview Questions

Two interviews were required. My first interview was centered on experience. Questions included how to handle difficult guests, examples of up-selling, and drink knowledge for a position behind the bar. Finally, a personality test. Took about 30 minutes, asked the same questions in different ways to see if you're being honest.Interview Questions

Wedding Trivia:PLAYING PRANKSPlaying pranks on the newlywed couple was also a tradition, which began with the intentions of warding off evil spirits.

Nicolas Fremion: Pain and PleasureErotica // Thursday, August 14, 2014
French artist Nicolas Fremion's drawings are macabre and discomforting, juxtapozing scenes of execution with sexual acts between people and animals. His style is characterized by "Minhwa," or Korean folk art. By contrasting his content with his visual aesthetic by paralleling brutal and naive, his drawings experience a noticeable impressiveness. Fremion lives and works in Chambonas.
MMOOUU's Alien SexErotica // Thursday, August 14, 2014
MMOOUU has taken weird sex illustrations to the next level, and we're loving how insane these drawings are.

Amazing work by the French artist Thomas Saliot who is currently living between Marrakech and Paris.

Blooms Anyone?
Hi everyone,
Anyone's hoyas starting to bud up or in bloom right now?
My lacunosa is budding up right now and should bloom here pretty soon. I spotted a smaller second peduncle a few days ago! I guess I have a happy plant!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Nothing actually in bloom here at the moment, but while in the gh watering day before yesterday I did notice that the hoyas have sprung to life and are actively growing and I did see a few new peduncles as well.
My pink flowering heuschkeliana has buds that should be open any day now and cv. Christine has multiple peduncles full of buds in various stages of development.
Both Hoya lambii and callistophylla just finished blooming and are already working on more buds. Hoya lacanosa has a few peduncles worth of blooms open and Hoya blashernazii is getting ready to open it's buds soon. Hoya carnosa just finished blooming and Hoya DS-70 and multiflora are almost constantly in bloom. It looks like Hoya caudata is starting some buds which is nice because the last set dropped because I was late watering by a day or two.
Lacunosa, pallida,obscura, and incurvula are blooming now. Budding up are heuschkelliana, multiflora/javanica, a few others I can't name off the top of my head. I'm watchin' them all close as it's the time of year they change daily. I have to get a new camera before any new ones start blooming - my not-very-old Cannon works, but the macro setting quit working. I mean, that's THE setting I use most. DANG!
Denise in Omaha
I have buds on Hellwigiana, Mulitflora and AH0240. Hopefully the buds on Mulitflora will make it this time. Like Mike, I was late watering the last time and they fell off. Helliwigiana had a young peduncle on it when I got it, but it is just now starting to form buds. AH0240 has had very slow to come buds, going on a couple of months now. But I am happy to report there is quite a bit of new growth, which to me is very exciting b/c until lately it just sat there. The new leaves are grayish in color and almost wooly they're so fuzzy. Kinda reminds me of pussywillows.
I have no flowers but I do have buds on bella(lots),vaccinioides,multifloa and pachyclada.Lucunosa tove has been flowering on and off all winter but is now resting.
This winter has been very warm for us on the west coast so my hoyas have been growing all winter long. Coronaria has 5 vines that have grown about 4 or 5 feet since it came in in the fall.
My Hoya polyneura has had peduncles all over it for about a year... and nothing has ever happened with them, they just stay small. *sad face*
However, I do have a Hoya Polynera (or a carnosa, I cant remeber) that has peduncle on it that I noticed today! Woo!

I worked for the Salvation Army in Dallas, TX at their Carr P. Collins Social Services Center. I just wanted to share my experience. I did not have a good experience working for this organization because of multiple reasons. I witnessed the majority of their staff verbally abuse and mistreat their clients. The management also engaged in training new staff to do this very same thing. While it may seem unbelievable that the Salvation Army would permit this to go on, it occurs nearly every single day. Staff at this location even engaged in stealing donations , and I though this was very unfair to the people that they are supposed to be serving. Everytime a donation is stolen it's as if they're stealing from the very people that they serve.
While working at this facility, I was attacked by one of their clients with a trashcan. While I was an outstanding employee, the Salvation Army feared a Worker's Compensation Claim and terminated my employment. If you take a look at www.indeed.com, you will find many people complaining about the way this organizations treats it's employees.
I was very disappointed in the Salvation Army at this location.

When the earthquake hit Haiti, The Salvation Army was able to be "first responder" because we have about 60 locations in the country and approximately 800 people on the ground, year-in, year-out. We serve in 119 countries globally, focusing in the impoverished communties that are always worst hit in disasters like these.
More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The kind peple who work here.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Humble, gracious, kind, caring
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Dramatically expand on-going services for transformation of lives -- right now, it is often doing disaster relief or "agency of last resort" keeping people from going over the economic precipice.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every month

The "Section 243 Exemption" is a term you will come across when appointing a limited company director. A 243 exemption means the proposed director's residential address will not be disclosed to any credit reference agencies. This is because the individual may be at risk of violence or intimidation if their address was given away. For example, someone on witness protection may have a section 243 exemption.
To apply for a section 243 exemption you need to contact Companies House on 0303 1234 500 to request the SR04 form. A fee of £100 is applicable when filing this document.

Oh, I dunno, just some guy from Sydney. Well, I've just graduated from UNSW, where I taught some classes, drunk a good amount of beer, and started the B-Grade Society. If you'd like to give me a job, please, shoot me an email — I like money.
Obviously I'm interested in tech stuff, but also music (I don't know if what I've got classifies as "home studio", but definitely some gear sprawled on a desk), art, the humourous state of Australian politics, and everything in between.
I am weird twitter.

Health Savings Accounts, more commonly known as HSA, were launched by the government in the 4Q of 2003. Initially the effectiveness of these health insurance vehicles was questioned, due to the slow adoption rate by Americans, but now five years later HSAs have proven to be a great way to save money if you understand them and utilize them properly.
With an HSA (paired with a high-deductible health plan ) you can save as much as 50% in monthly health insurance premiums. Your deductibles will indeed be higher should you need to utilize health care but if you properly fund the Health Savings Account, using the money you saved by paying lower premiums this money can be applied towards covering the higher deductible.
Health Savings Accounts have tax advantages as well. All of your contributions to your HSA — that's right 100% — are tax free. In addition the interest that accumulates on the money that you maintain is 100% tax free. Furthermore, withdrawals from your HSA are 100% tax-free when used for qualified medical expenses.
In years where your health care utilization is low or non-existent, not only will you have saved up to 50% on your premiums, but the money that you used to fund the HSA was not taxed as income, and it has grown tax free in an interest bearing account.
At age 65, you can withdrawal the money from your HSA for any reason, and be taxed at the ordinary income rate.
As you can see by the above, there are many economic reasons why a health savings account is a good health care solution for your family, particularly if you and your family are generally healthy.
Health insurance companies are legally obligated to offer high-deductible health plans that that are eligible to be paired with an HSA, but the reality is, if they encourage their customers to opt for health plans with a higher deductible and lower premiums, they will cut into their profits. Subsequently, health insurance companies do not always promote their HSA options as vigorously as other health insurance options.
If an HSA seems like the right health care choice for your needs, you can compare rates here at healthinsurancesort.com. Alternatively, if you plan to shop for your health plan from a agent or broker, be sure to ask about what HSAs are available.

Gunman killed after shooting 2 Pentagon police
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A California man killed in a shootout with Pentagon police drove cross-country and arrived at the military headquarters' subway entrance armed with two semiautomatic weapons, authorities said today. The shooter apparently left behind Internet postings resentful of the government and airing suspicions about the 9/11 attacks.

TRIBBLE Maintenance and Release Notes - October 2, 2012
We will be bringing the Tribble server down for maintenance to apply a new update.
EDITED to make one of the counselors redundant.
Foundry assets please??
Sorry for constandly asking, news about new translations?
what of shootermode?
J-Man clarified this, and one of the Counselors has been replaced with a Medic. :)
It's underpowered compared to other 50 Lobi weapons, as is the Rifle.
It's underpowered when you look at the opportunity cost of obtaining one. Which is 14-16 million EC.
I buy 12 lockbox keys. That should get me 50 Lobi on average. Now... I pay 1.5 mil EC per key. I make maybe around 4 million back on average. Net cost 14 million EC.
The same money will get me a sonic antiproton rifle Mk XII, purple quality, or a disruptor stun pistol Mk XII purple quality with millions of EC to spare. Those are Mk XII, have three mods and 10 higher base DPS.
The stun pistol and its rifle counterpart have no mods and do 10 less DPS. They don't work well together (stasis immunity eats rifle charges). They don't work well handed to BOffs who fire blindly. They're a massive downgrade from any other weapon I might stock.
I could see sacrificing 1 mod for the stasis (which works once per NPC). But the reality is, while I've held an enemy for 7 seconds, I've also done at least 70 less damage in the time since that enemy was stunned. Substantially less because the lack of mods.
In effect, while I froze one enemy out, there is one more enemy alive than there would be otherwise.
And it's worse if I got enough for a full away team.
And using the pistol on one character or away team member makes using the rifle (already lackluster range and DPS) WORSE because there's a better chance of of the stray pulse targets has immunity from damage.
These weapons needed a PvP nerf but they need a PvP buff badly.
For the SAME PRICE you have one weapon which offers no damage resists and another weapon that deals energy damage that Borg cannot adapt to.
It's a 29th century weapon that is less impressive and powerful than 23rd century weapons.
I can't understand how your space balance can be so concerned with "make it good for the money" and the ground balance manages to nerf the overpowered aspect of this (small group ground PvP) without addressing its underpowered aspects (everywhere else).
Okay. Deep breath. You are friggin' awesome, Zero.
I offer feedback because I am passionate. You guys rock. Really. :-)

good grief is there no end in this culling? down another 212 points of BES while the stats continue to go up 6045 downloads to date another 10 for fans more plays etc, widgets up 330 etc the only thing that is consistent is the disemmination of info, No contact from RN nor any likelyhood. What can I say or do? Nothing,
This daily blog will continue for 3 more days. As of this morning I lost another 219 BES points regardless that my fans increased by 5 and the there were over 70 plays and 30 downloads and that I had posted my 167th Song. I have also posted under my profile Bio the weekly Stats since Aug 17th. That week we were in first place for the entire week. Although you cannot compare stats account the Marquees have disappeared the No 1 Group has had 68 plays versus my 883.Their BES remained the same it didn't go down.
down another 226 points while the first placers remain with a gain of 6 points their stats haven't changed but I'd like to see what they did to not lose any in 10 days. downloads now over 6000 everyone gave feedback and players and downloads work, The only thing that doesn't it the point system. New song has good reviews Thanks everyone for your support.
Wow tremendous support from everyone after my last Blog and email , I thank you all , I have discovered a couple of things , one being many people have tried to play or download songs but were unable to, If for some reason you can't play or download please let me or reverbNation know of the problem. Secondly the decline in points continues yesterday lost 233 point I will continue to report this daily I I expect that this will coninue for another 10 days where I will be at the 5000 point level, Stay tuned if this is so someone needs to explain something.
Nothing worse than a complainer and a whiner but I had to get this off my chest.
Why are the stats for everyone that are usually displayed on a marquee gone? Because too many people use them to compare themselves to others. Answer from RN "It was causing too many emails to Reverbnation by people complaining (not me). But now it seems they are getting too many emails about these stats not being displayed. I have a policy of putting up the plays the visits the fans etc just to keep everyone informed and I put this up on the press clippings. Also once a month or so I put up an email about the most played songs etc, I don't charge for my music I share it freely with everyone but if you join as a fan it means that Yes you'll accept some emails but please don't mark it as spam just unsubscribe that way you'll stop getting the emails but you wont hurt my stats. Speaking of Stats apparently since the 18th of Aug I have had a total of 7 reports really that's not bad but if you think I email too much tell me unsubscribe but please don't say I'm spamming you. I have lost 3000 points and have tried to ask the folks at Reverbnation why (not a complaint just a what am I doing wrong) and they say it will pass, its a new thing that they have started, well I can't understand because the Spam percentage on my emails is 0% even with the 1 or 2 reports of spam. I don't think that this should really reflect in the daily loss of over 250 points per day. Having been a part of Reverbnation for well over a year my stats are steady you the fans are steady so it doesn't make sense. I guess I should just roll over and let it happen. I hate it when people change Rules in the middle of a game. I like to think that people like the music I put up and share. I don't like being punished for something I don't control. I appreciate all the support everyone has give me as it pushes me to try better and to be better. I'm very sorry to those who think I'm spamming them they are very few and would be doing me a favor by unsubscribing if they feel that they are been Spammed. Thanks for all your support.
"Keeping Live Blues Alive"

As Jimi Hendrix once said "Blaa Blaa Woof Woof" this seems to cover all bases when facing diversity and stats that seem to take control of our lives. I have for the past 2 months fighting a losing battle to stats as no matter what I do it doesn't seem to help. I have been lucky to have been for a few months in the past year in first Position for Blues and that was thanks to all the fans and artists that joined,played songs and generally messaged me to send words of encouragement. I saw that the latest group had a humungous fan base or email list and this hurtled them from obscurity to first place. This hurt because it wasn't expected, it wasn't a gradual climb but more a meteoric shot to the top. So I have decided to laisser -faire ( to Let It Be) and just continue to play music , upload the odd song and watch the wheels go by. I haven't hammered you with emails pleaing for you to play my songs because I think that the product usually speaks for itself. So I want to thank you again for your support and hope you continue to do so as I will also! My goal was to put up as many songs as possible, I did that, now over 159 have been uploaded to date. I look forward to putting up even more! Stay Tuned!
April showers bring May flowers, what a whirlwind year, Posting over 158 songs adding new ones weekly, Playing with great Musicians, Michael Charles Jan 24th at Blues on Whyte listen to the tune "Everyday I have the Blues", playing with Hank Lionhart of Fist Full of Blues, Jimmy Guiboche, David Nobes, Dave Berry Darrel Kitlizx, Mark Ammar, Noel MacKenzie the list goes on and on! Every week I look foward to putting up new songs playing with old and new friends Its all about Keeping Live Blues alive, even sneaking in the odd rock tune! Stay tuned for more tunes and watch as some of the old ones get removed I usually give 24 hrs notice.Whats it cost? nothing!!!!
Wow running out of space for songs, I guess I'm going to have to cull from the 100 songs I have up, I have removed a few and will do it again just to refresh the list and music. There's something here for everyone from Rock, Blues Jazz, Country and just jammin, Hope everyone is enjoying this as much as I am.
wow just back from Vegas! had a gas with my wife, remember what happens in vegas stays there and apparently most of my cash did!! just a quick note to let everyone know whats up!

Mar 13, 2012One of the best games this gen... Truly underrated, the story is amazing and the gameplay is top notch, i dont get why som people hate it, its just an amazing game
Mar 13, 2012Better than xbox 360 version, and its one of the best games this gen... Its sooooooo underrated, the story is good and the gameplay is smooth, i dont know why some people hate it, its a really good game
Mar 13, 2012LOL @ xbox 360 fanboys rating this amazing game 0, this game one of the best games in the seris... Its so **** underrated, the story is wonderful and the gameplay is very good, i dont know why xbox fanboys hate it, its a really good game
Jun 29, 2014The game is really amazing. The better game that i played in PS3. Sometimes i must accept some features of games because the games aren't perfect. LOL
A great title for PS3 owners offering a real challenge but not really worth a second purchase if you own the Xbox 360 version already.
It's so utterly satisfying, you simply won't care that you're hammering two button for 12 hours. [Issue#184, p.70]
There aren't a ton of sweeping differences between the PS3 and 360 versions of Ninja Gaiden 2 that were released a year apart from each other.
