Creating a Web Site for 9filmfest
In the contemporary world, one of many instruments which greatly help to express and explore the identities and concepts of the brand is through media.
On a whole, media influences and contributes in the nature representation of our modern society. It is acknowledged that the online media is now the most powerful tool in branding. It can be said that online media is one of the most popular forms as it can easily reach every home, town, and country due to its high consumption and easy access.
Let's us introduce ourselves, we are organizing 9FilmFest, a unique short film festival founded in Bangkok, Thailand. 9FilmFest is a short film competition and event coming to Asia for the first time. Anyone can enter short film video content of nine minutes or less, which means everyone who can use camera, video, mobile phone, etc. One thing that makes our festival unique is that he film must be made specifically for our festival and must contain the "9 Signature Item" (9SI). We believe filming is important pieces of evidence in order to study the societies, because films open a window onto reality. People create and imagine the world as they see it through the camera lenses.
We were looking for a way to develop our online media and speed up online networking and found that Web Courses Bangkok is capable of helping us do both. We have met with Carl Heaton, the managing director of Web Courses Bangkok. He and his team is now on broad and will become a phenomenon that helps us developing our short film festival website into a whole new chapter.
A website will be made and served for different purposes as well as messages to its audiences. Each idea and image in the web design is delicately linked and influenced by the brand's concept; therefore the website can be one of the most powerful tools in representing the brand. Our blog will be packed with articles, news, and videos about the film making industry. Using templates of WordPress theme means we can get to a cool design more quickly and can enter entire project data sets in a single click.
We have learned that online media has been sparking strong hype in Thailand ranging from website, social media to e-commerce. These have become the new lifestyle of many groups of people at all ages who wish to be different and expressive in their own creativity in order to identify who they really are in the society.
Thank you Finn

VIDEO: Oxford Papershow turns the pen into digital whiteboard marker
Oxford has launched a digital writing kit called "Papershow", which promises to allow you to display writing on paper onto the screen of a computer, projector or big screen telly.
Even better, they've roped Phill Jupitus into helping promote the thing, and the result is the video above. The gadget's capable of multiple line colours, as well as shapes and arrows, and you can switch to an erase mode too, if you make a mistake.
When you're done, you can save your beautiful drawing of a cat as a PDF, or email it to anyone you'd like to. It's primarily targeted at offices, but there's no reason why kids wouldn't get a kick out of this as part of a game of Pictionary or something.
It comes with a USB key that has all the drivers and such, and you'll need to stay within 8m range of that plugged into a Windows XP or Vista laptop. The whole kit - consisting of pen, pen case, extra nivs, USB stick, digital paper pad and a powerpoint paper pad - costs £100 (though bizarrely Amazon is stocking it for £130), and it's available right now.

Canton's Plug Ugly's Publick House is named after an obscure band of ruffians used to control election day polling by politicians. They had a brief existence in the 1850s and are rumored to have kidnapped Edgar Allan Poe for political machinations leading to his untimely demise.
An interesting namesake, to be sure. Given that, obviously they should have a pirate-themed rum infusion, right? Of course.

On Sunday April 16, a gigantic pot was found in Kano city. It is about 129cm in height, 99cm in diameter, with a depth of 139cm, and the size of the flip is 50cm. It is estimated to have been buried over one thousand years ago. It was discovered in Gwammaja quarters of the Dala local government in Kano state. Charcoal, bones, suspected to belong to that of the cat family, clay and pot sherds were found in the pot, when it was excavated, and about 20 people gathered to remove it from the hole in the ground.
The archeologists who handled the excavation of the pot said it was buried at about 210 centimeters below the ground level. Daily Trust investigations revealed that the Gwammaja incident was not the first of such in the history of the ancient city of Kano. For example in 2002, another historic pot was discovered in Agadasawa quarters of the metropolis, another in Goron-Dutse in Dala local government, in addition to other discoveries made either in the course of road constructions, construction of a septic tank (soak-way) or culverts. The discovery of the huge pot attracted great attention from the general public which temporarily converted the area into a site for a pilgrimage of sorts. The team of ethnographers, conservationists and historians, had to spend over three hours before they succeeded in excavating the pot. The pot was first discovered by three masons who were building a septic tank (soak-away) for one Alhaji Garba Muhammad in his house. Daily Trust gathered that the excavation work was done through an inch by inch scraping method, while information was taken at a 10 cm speed level, so as to document the contents of the artefact, with a view to providing information concerning the dating of the pot, and its possible use in the pre-Islamic period, when it was believed to have been buried. In normal operational mode, a research is undertaken, before an excavation commences, but in the case of accidental discovery, such as in the case of the Gwammaja giant pot, a rescue operation is undertaken to save the object, and prevent it from being destroyed. The excavation is normally expected to have been undertaken not later than three weeks from the discovery of an object so as to ensure that it is done carefully, and allow it to dry from the ground moisture, so that it would not be broken during the excavation work.
But for fear that the pot might be broken by the large crowd who trooped to see it; the excavation work was completed within 24 hours. The landlord and the ward head of Gwammaja were compelled to maintain vigilance over the pot, before the excavators started digging, because a crowd kept converging upon the scene, and even wanted to touch the artifact. Malam Garba Muhammad, aged 50 years, is the leader of the masons, who discovered the pot while digging the soak-way. He told Daily Trust that initially they thought the artifact was a small one, and even attempted to excavate it with their hands, but such effort proved unsuccessful, as it was deep below the soil surface. Malam Muhammad said they subsequently informed the landlord on the discovery of the pot, who also reported the incident to the ward head. Asked whether he had ever witnessed such pot in the course of his business, the mason replied that "You see I have spent over 30 years in the business of digging local latr ines, soak-aways, culverts, drainages, wells and even graves, but never have I in anyway come across such a big pot. I am sure it was buried before the arrival of Islam to Hausaland, because even my grandfathers could not precisely say when the pot was buried."
The owner of the house where the pot was discovered, Alhaji Garba Muhammad, aged 60, said he has been in the house for over forty years, and that he did not in anyway think a pot was buried there. The present pot-making facilities, according to Alhaji Muhammad, would not produce even a half size of the historic Gwammaja pot, saying the tool to be used for making such an artefact could not be found in the entire Hausaland, especially considering that it was only used in the pre-Islamic era. He emphasized that the discovery of the pot is a great pride to him, hoping that the state zonal office of the National Commission for Museums and monuments, would preserve and keep the artefact, which would also symbolize the socio-cultural heritage of Kano. He explained that proper preservation of the huge pot, would motivate any resident who discovered it, to report the incident to the appropriate authority, adding that the historic pot would also provide an avenue for tourism which woul d boost revenue generation. Alhaji Muhammad also advocated for a gift for any individual who either discovered any historic object, or if an object was found in his house or land, so that people would be encouraged to make prompt report to the concerned agency.
The ward head of Gwammaja where the pot was discovered, Malam Ahmed Usman, said when the landlord reported the incident to him, he promptly alerted the appropriate authorities. He said people were stationed at the scene for a 24 hour vigilance, to guard the pot, especially since the large crowd who stormed the area wanted to touch it. Asked whether similar discoveries were also made in the area, the ward head pointed out that in the past years during the construction of Kofar Ruwa road, another pot, which was smaller than the present one was excavated. He however commended the people of the area for protecting the pot from any harm or damage, even as he enjoined them to always report such recurrence to the authority, for prompt action.
Malam Ahmed however advised government to execute developmental projects in any area where a historic object is found or discovered, so that the people of the area would shun destroying or vandalizing the objects.
Daily Trust also contacted 95-year-old, Malam Muhammadu Inuwa, who said the discovery of a huge pot buried under the ground had never happened in Kano when he was young. According to him, the pots were then being buried with charms as a ritual to protect Kano from the attack of enemies, since during the pre-Islamic period there were intra and inter-ethnic wars, besides the wars being fought between neighbouring towns and villages. He said at times such pots were even buried by individuals at their houses, as security against both human and animal attack, saying sometimes skin, bones and parts of domestic or wild animals were buried in the pot, which was believed to be a protective device. Malam Inuwa said at times one pot, would be buried at the centre of the house, while one would be buried at each corridor, with the belief that calamity, attack or disease would not befall the house. He said the ritual would only fail if the pot is exhumed, adding that with the advent of Isl am into Hausaland, such practice had drastically reduced, since it is seen as being against the rules and ethics of the religion.
Malam Inuwa stressed that although few individuals still practice this system, especially in an attempt to make money easily, protect the self from attacks by enemies, get contracts, and receive more customers in case of business ventures. He said some people who failed to win the support of the lady they intend to marry, also used to bury a small pot with charms to get total acceptance from their lovers. According to him, with the continued spread of Islam, coupled with the increased preaching by clerics at discouraging such practice, people now resorted to other methods which did not violate Islamic regulations. These he added, include the recitation of the Holy Qur'an, and other supplications prescribed by Islam for self protection.
Commenting on the discovery of the artefact, the curator of Gidan Makama museum, where the pot is being kept, Jafaru Dauda, said based on the items found in it, there is a tendency that the pot was buried for protection, rather than being used for dyeing purposes.
According to the curator, normal clay was found in the pot, as against the ash colored-clay used for dyeing.
Jafaru Dauda said in the pre-Islamic period such kinds of pots were being used for storing food or water, in addition to rituals for territorial protection against attacks by enemies. He said so far there is no equipment in the museum that would provide the precise date of the pot, but confirmed that based on the relative dating, it could have been buried above 1000 years ago. The curator explained that the Gwammaja pot and others discovered in the past years, are being preserved, saying they are being protected against the effects of the sun, rainfall, and physical damage.

THURSDAY night had the new state of the art Government complex conference hall packed to capacity with high profile delegates included the Republican Vice-President Guy Scott and his wife Charlotte, to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
To celebrate Zambia's cooperating partners 2012, the China National Acrobatic Troupe was invited to Zambia to perform some of their award- winning theatre performances including magic, night dance, hat juggling, umbrella juggling, kicking bowls on high monocycle and many others
Young Zambian acrobats dubbed the African Dance Factory gave the audience a Zambian taste of acrobatics.
It was the Chinese troupe that was the main highlight of the night with over 10 performances churned out to the appreciative audience that was kept busy clapping for the no dull Chinese folks doing something very rare to see in Zambia - acrobatics.
From the beginning the audience seemed to have expected less as this type of entertainment is not synonymous with the Zambian showbiz but almost everyone who was around left the building appreciating what the Chinese talent offered.
The vice-president was one of the doubting Thomases spotted before the show began as he rightly put it immediately before the performances,
"I have nothing much to say because I don't know what to expect but let's wait and see what our Chinese friends have in stock for us, that is if they not sleeping," amid cheers from the audience.
When the Chinese took to the stage everyone was left amused by each move that followed the other and the crowd could not resist the throbbing actions from the over 50 acrobats by constantly engaging their hands into loud clapping.
In what seems impossible to do, the two ladies riding the monocycle donning the two cooperating countries flags were riding the cycles while kicking the bowls.
The magician was equally awesome with her acts as she performed some unseen magic on the Traditional Affairs Minister, Inonge Wina, by letting her hold one of the locked three rings before the minister got
surprised to find out that ring was detached from the rest as the magician was holding the other two.
Zambia has seen ball jugglers before but juggling nine balls at once was unprecedented. The Chinese ball juggler was extraordinary before the audience and Mrs Scott was seen clapping throughout the show.
Other acts were also appreciated and the more than two hours performances were simply exquisite and wholesome through out.
At the end of the event, Dr Scott said he was bewildered by the performances and thanked the Chinese ambassador for bringing one of the world's best acrobats to Zambia.
And the Chinese ambassador said the show, apart from celebrating the Chinese New Year, was organised to appreciate the friendship his country and Zambia had enjoyed for many years now.
He said it was also part of cultural exchange between the two countries.

But since the 20th century this plant is classified as an illegal drug by many countries, including Indonesia. In the last two decades, there has been pressure to legalize marijuana, especially for medical purposes.
Early December 2010, the Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, issued a decision will be sold in the market marijuana as a medicine for patients with severe disease. The move followed the 14 states in the United States who had already been legalized marijuana as medicine.
In some U.S. states, marijuana may be used for pain relief, nausea and loss of appetite that often affects people with AIDS, cancer and other debilitating diseases. Thousands of patients estimated to need marijuana as a medicine.
Although the regulation is contrary to central government regulations (federal), but according to a poll 46 percent of Americans want legalization of marijuana. Some European countries also have to legalize marijuana as a medicine and sold in pharmacies by prescription.
However, as medicine, marijuana has many limitations. For example, marijuana was last used as a therapy after other types of treatment therapy. In New Jersey alone was also conducted drug ban marijuana for patients with seizure conditions, glaucoma and muscle spasms. Not all pharmacies are also able to sell these drugs, the government limits the number of pharmacies in one region.
To ensure there is no abuse, the U.S. government also implemented a policy of outright purchase and does not serve the message across while also limiting the dose that can be bought by one patient.

Homo sapiens
Homo is the genus of hominids that includes modern humans and species closely related to them. The genus is estimated to be about 2.8 million years old,[1][2][3][4][5] emerging with the appearance of Homo habilis from australopithecine ancestors.[6] It is the only genus in the subtribe "Hominina", which together with the subtribe "Australopithecina" forms the Tribe "Hominini", estimated to have diverged from the genus Pan in the late Miocene, by about 7 million years ago.
Homo erectus appears about 2 million years ago and spreads throughout Eurasia. It was likely the first hominin to live in a hunter-gatherer society and to control fire, but disappeared 0.4 million years ago. Homo sapiens (anatomically modern humans) emerged about 0.2 million years ago, and is the only surviving species in the genus, all others having become extinct. Archaic humans did survive alongside H. sapiens until at least some 40,000 years ago (H. neanderthalensis[7]), and possibly until as late as the Epipaleolithic (about 12,000 years ago), and there is evidence of limited interbreeding of archaic and modern humans. Modern humans migrated from Africa some 60,000 years ago, and in the course of the Upper Paleolithic spread throughout Eurasia, Oceania and the Americas.
Name and taxonomy[edit]
- See Hominidae for an overview of taxonomy.
The Latin noun homō (genitive hominis) means "human being" or "man" (in the original generic sense of "human being, mankind").[8]
The binomial name Homo sapiens was coined by Carl Linnaeus (1758).[9] Names for other species were introduced beginning in the second half of the 19th century (H. neanderthalensis 1864, H. erectus 1892).
The genus Homo was given this taxonomic name to suggest that its members can be classified as human, and while there is substantial debate on the delineation of the genus from Australopithecus or indeed from Pan, classification of fossils within Homo coincides with evidence of early tool use beginning some 2.5 million years ago. Some recently discovered, recently extinct, species in the genus Homo do not have accepted binomial names yet (see Denisova hominin and Red Deer Cave people).
In the history of paleoanthropological research during the late 19th to mid 20th century, a number of taxonomic names proposed for individual early human fossils included suggestions for new generic names which have since been merged with Homo (mostly due to the recognition of Homo erectus as a single species with a large geographic spread) and are now considered "synonyms" with Homo for systematic reasons. These generic names include Pithecanthropus,[10] Protanthropus,[11] Sinanthropus,[12] Cyphanthropus,[13] Africanthropus,[14] Telanthropus,[15] Atlanthropus,[16] and Tchadanthropus.[17]
Classification of the genus Homo into species and subspecies remains poorly defined and subject to incomplete information, leading to difficulties in binomial naming, and the use of common names, such as "Neanderthal" and "Denisovan", even in scientific papers,[18] to avoid the ambiguity in the classification of species or subspecies incertae sedis within Homo (e.g. H. neanderthalensis vs. H. sapiens neanderthalensis, or H. georgicus vs. H. erectus georgicus).
Going back to a suggestion by John Edward Gray (1825)[19] Hominini ("hominins") is defined as a tribe including all early human and pre-human species ancestral to modern humans, back to the chimpanzee–human last common ancestor. Hominina ("hominans") is a subtribe of Hominini, including only the genus Homo but not earlier upright walking hominins of the Pliocene such as Australopithecus, Orrorin tugenensis, Ardipithecus, or Sahelanthropus.[20] Alternative names for Hominina are Australopithecinae (Gregory & Hellman 1939) and Preanthropinae (Cela-Conde & Altaba 2002).[21] Cela-Conde and Ayala (2003) recognize five genera within Hominina: Ardipithecus, Australopithecus (including Paranthropus), Homo (including Kenyanthropus), Praeanthropus (including Orrorin), and Sahelanthropus.[22]
Several species, including Australopithecus garhi, Australopithecus sediba, Australopithecus africanus, and Australopithecus afarensis, have been proposed as the direct ancestor of the Homo lineage.[24][25] These species have morphological features that align them with Homo, but there is no consensus as to which gave rise to Homo. The advent of Homo was traditionally taken to co-incide with the first use of stone tools (the Oldowan industry), and thus by definition with the beginning of the Lower Palaeolithic.[26] The emergence of Homo also coincides roughly with the onset of Quaternary glaciation, the beginning of the current ice age.
A fossil jawbone dated to 2.8 million years ago which may represent an intermediate stage between Australopithecus and Homo was discovered in 2015 in Afar, Ethiopia.[27] Some authors would push the development of Homo past 3 Mya, by including Kenyanthropus (a fossil dated 3.2 to 3.5 Mya, usually classified as an autralopithecine species) into the Homo genus.[28]
The most salient physiological development between the earlier australopithecine species and Homo is the increase in cranial capacity, from about 450 cm3 (27 cu in) in A. garhi to 600 cm3 (37 cu in) in H. habilis. Within the Homo genus, cranial capacity again doubled from H. habilis through Homo ergaster or H. erectus to Homo heidelbergensis by 0.6 million years ago. The cranial capacity of H. heidelbergensis overlaps with the range found in modern humans.
Homo erectus has often been assumed to have developed anagenetically from Homo habilis from about 2 million years ago. This scenario was strengthened with the discovery of Homo erectus georgicus, early specimens of H. erectus found in the Caucasus, which seemed to exhibit transitional traits with H. habilis. As the earliest evindence for H. erectus was found outside of Africa, it was considered plausible that H. erectus developed in Eurasia and then migrated back to Africa. Based on fossils from the Koobi Fora Formation, east of Lake Turkana in Kenya, Spoor et al. (2007) argued that H. habilis may have survived beyond the emergence of H. erectus, so that the evolution of H. erectus would not have been anagenetically, and H. erectus would have existed alongside with H. habilis for about half a million years (1.9 to 1.4 million years ago), during the early Calabrian.[29]
Some of H. ergaster migrated to Asia, where they are named Homo erectus, and to Europe with Homo georgicus. H. ergaster in Africa and H. erectus in Eurasia evolved separately for almost two million years and presumably separated into two different species. Homo rhodesiensis, who were descended from H. ergaster, migrated from Africa to Europe and became Homo heidelbergensis and later (about 250,000 years ago) Homo neanderthalensis and the Denisova hominin in Asia. The first Homo sapiens, descendants of H. rhodesiensis, appeared in Africa about 250,000 years ago. About 100,000 years ago, some H. sapiens sapiens migrated from Africa to the Levant and met with resident Neanderthals, with some admixture.[30] Later, about 70,000 years ago, perhaps after the Toba catastrophe, a small group left the Levant to populate Eurasia, Australia and later the Americas. A subgroup among them met the Denisovans[31] and, after further admixture, migrated to populate Melanesia. In this scenario, non-African people living today are mostly of African origin ("Out of Africa model"). However, there was also some admixture with Neanderthals and Denisovans, who had evolved locally (the "multiregional hypothesis"). Recent genomic results from the group of Svante Pääbo also show that 30,000 years ago at least three major subspecies coexisted: Denisovans, Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans.[32] Today, only H. sapiens remains, with no other extant species.
List of species[edit]
The species status of Homo rudolfensis, Homo ergaster, H. georgicus, H. antecessor, H. cepranensis, H. rhodesiensis, Homo neanderthalensis, Denisova hominin, Red Deer Cave people and Homo floresiensis remains under debate. H. heidelbergensis and H. neanderthalensis are closely related to each other and have been considered to be subspecies of H. sapiens. Recently, nuclear DNA from a Neanderthal specimen from Vindija Cave has been sequenced using two different methods that yield similar results regarding Neanderthal and H. sapiens lineages, with both analyses suggesting a date for the split between 460,000 and 700,000 years ago, though a population split of around 370,000 years is inferred. The nuclear DNA results indicate about 30% of derived alleles in H. sapiens are also in the Neanderthal lineage. This high frequency may suggest some gene flow between ancestral human and Neanderthal populations due to mating between the two.[33]

Recently LifeSpan asked some of our retailers why they feel the LifeSpan Fitness Club is so important. This was Gym Sources reply:
Here at Gym Source, we like to think of ourselves as more than just a place to find the best gym equipment, but also a place where our clients and individual customers can glean information and wisdom about cardio training, strength training, and a healthy lifestyle overall.
Recently, we've been talking more and more about the LifeSpan Fitness Club, because we believe it's a great resource for our clients.
The LifeSpan Fitness Club
There are several aspects of the LifeSpan Fitness Club (LFC) that are pure genius:
Exercise Tracking: You can easily track all activity in your LFC online account. Consistently stay on top of your effort, regardless of your chosen exercise type. Track the number of steps you've taken, days you've hit the gym for resistance exercise, or gone to yoga to improve your balance and flexibility.
Goal Tracking: The tracking aspect of the LFC is amazing. It's intuitive, effective, and makes keeping track of your fitness progress clear and simple. In our experience, nothing motivates clients to stick with a new exercise regimen more than seeing results. Seeing results reinforces new behaviors and encourages better ones with real data—not vague assumptions.
Social Motivation: By far one of the great innovations of the LFC is the social aspect of 'Teams.' Building a team with other users brings a social aspect to fitness that is sometimes lacking. How many times have you gone to a gym and seen a hundred people working out together, but alone? The Teams feature of the LFC gives people the opportunity to have a support group that's right there with them every step of the way.
Customized Workouts: Another amazing aspect of the LFC is its ability to give members fully custom workouts based on not just their preferences, but on their past performance. This can't be understated, really, as it gives members a control over their own exercise regimen and lifestyle.
The LifeSpan Fitness Club—A Terrific Return on Investment
Above all else, the LifeSpan Fitness Club is an incredible value. You get a truly full membership in the club, with full access to all the tools and resources it offers. What's more, you get a community of fitness enthusiasts and experts who can support your fitness journey every step of the way.

By STEVEN NALLEY
Mary Margaret Sullivan doesnŌĆÖt say much, but she can blow kisses.
Mike Sullivan, her father, said Mary Margaret has septo-optic dysplasia, which, among other things, limits her muscle control and her ability to communicate.
However, he said if Mary Margaret wants to say ŌĆśYesŌĆÖ to someone, approves of something, or wants to tell Mike and her mother Kelly Sullivan she loves them, she will blow them a kiss at them.
ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs a gift from God because it was totally untaught,ŌĆØ Mike said. ŌĆ£We were like, ŌĆśWhere did it come from?ŌĆÖ It was so awesome when it first happened, and sheŌĆÖs been doing it ever since. It melts your heart instantly.ŌĆØ
With funds raised by Mississippi State UniversityŌĆÖs Chi Omega sorority, the Make-A-Wish Foundation presented Mary Margaret with a therapy spa at a Wish Reveal Party Saturday at the Sullivan residence in StarkvilleŌĆÖs Crossgate community.
Family, friends and representatives from the Make-A-Wish Mississippi Chapter and Chi Omega were on hand with food, balloons, banners and cameras. Also, American Idol finalist and Starkville native Jasmine Murray sang for Mary Margaret and her guests, accompanied on guitar by Pinelake Church worship pastor Ken Broom.
Mary Margaret blew plenty of kisses.
Kelly said Chi Omega raises funds for Make-A-Wish every year, and this year the group raised enough funds not only for Mary Margaret, but also other children in the Starkville area. She said Chi Omega also invited Mary Margaret to a talent show called ŌĆ£The LimelightŌĆØ which culminates the groupŌĆÖs Wish Week.
ŌĆ£(Mary Margaret) was the centerpiece of it, and it was an awesome thing,ŌĆØ Kelly said. ŌĆ£It was just so cool. We didnŌĆÖt know about it until this happened. It was really neat.ŌĆØ
Murray said she knew the Sullivan family from Pinelake Church. When they asked her if she was interested in singing at the Wish Reveal Party, she said she jumped at the opportunity.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm so excited about it,ŌĆØ Murray said. ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre an awesome family. TheyŌĆÖre so wonderful and loving. IŌĆÖm more than happy to be here ŌĆö more than happy for Mary Margaret ŌĆö to throw a great party.ŌĆØ
Mike said this is not his first experience with Make-A-Wish. Four years ago, he said he helped Robbie Koch at Coon Tattoos in West Point raise $15,000 in 24 hours for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, running public relations and assembling a lineup of bands for the event.
ŌĆ£Little did I know that four years later, my daughter would be getting a wish,ŌĆØ Mike said. ŌĆ£She was only maybe 9 months old at the time. We didnŌĆÖt realize the extent of her medical conditions back then.ŌĆØ
The symptoms of Mary MargaretŌĆÖs condition include blindness, lack of control of her body and hormone deficiencies, Mike said. Her brain is missing a corpus callosum, he said, and she has to take medicine morning and night to survive.
ŌĆ£SheŌĆÖs been airlifted twice; I donŌĆÖt know how many ambulances sheŌĆÖs (ridden) in,ŌĆØ Mike said. ŌĆ£We came very close to losing her five times since birth. If she doesnŌĆÖt get her medicine, things go downhill really quick. We have to care for her constantly, but ... sheŌĆÖs a total blessing to our family. SheŌĆÖs got a brother and sister that donŌĆÖt even realize she has a disability, basically, because thatŌĆÖs what they know.ŌĆØ
Mike said Mary Margaret has always loved swimming at the homes of relatives or friends, so when Kelly filled out an application for Make-A-Wish and its representatives interviewed the family to determine what wish to grant for Mary Margaret, it made sense to give her a place to swim.
ŌĆ£This is something we can all do together as a family and, as my wife says, it kind of evens out,ŌĆØ Mike said. ŌĆ£Mary Margaret can play with her brothers and sisters all on the same level once we get in the spa because it gives her mobility. She loves the jets and the warm water. ItŌĆÖs good for her muscles because sheŌĆÖs in the wheelchair all the time. It allows us to do a little more therapy with her, too, because itŌĆÖs a lot easier to hold weight in water than it is outside of water.ŌĆØ

Following the release of heavyweight new single "Vindicate" featuring Excision, DATSIK has released the first edition of the two-part COLD BLOODED EP on Firepower Records today, Tuesday, January 22. Part two of the COLD BLOODED EP will be released later this spring.
Leading DATSIK's first body of work since the release of his debut album Vitamin D, the title track doesn't waste any time in dealing the first lethal blows. Led in by its shuffling percussion and dub skank, it dives Head First into barrage of gnarled drums and rapid-fire bass. Up next, DATSIK's brutal production collides with rapper Messinian's raw lyrics on the industrially reinforced "Automatik," a pummeling exercise in low-end mechanics. The heat continues with "Machete" as DATSIK this time teams up with MCs Snak The Ripper and Young Sin to deliver a powerful assault of growling bass and roaring synths balanced by the swirling pads and 8-bit arpeggios.
"Juicebox" introduces a more playful element to the EP with its hyperactive bounce, energetic melodies and scratch samples before "Too Late To Say No"'s expansive synths pave the way for an overdriven bass onslaught. Falling into line next is single "Vindicate" with its ferocious web of twisted beats and morphing, intertwined bass lines. The lurching juggernaut "Release Me" complete the package, destroying anything left in its path.
With a string of Beatport #1's, sell-out tours, and a rapidly growing fan base, the Canadian producer/DJ and label boss has entered the New Year on an exceptionally high note, and with the release of COLD BLOODED he's already making his claim to an even bigger 2013.
Alongside the release of the EP, the 'Firepower Reloaded' tour is now underway and DATSIK's one-of-a-kind 'Vortex' DJ performance booth is ready to drop jaws. Its real-time 3D-mapping technology pushes custom visuals and mind-altering effects to a new level, placing DATSIK's at the forefront of the evolution. For dates and ticket information, log on to www.reloadedtour.com.
The track listing for DATSIK's Cold Blooded Part 1 EP is:
1. Cold Blooded
2. Automatik (feat. Messinian)
3. Machete (feat. Snak The Ripper & Young Sin)
4. Juicebox
5. Too Late To Say No
6.Datsik & Excision - Vindicate
7. Release Me
DATSIK's Cold Blooded EP is available now at:
Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/cold-blooded-ep/1023102
iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/cold-blooded-ep/id592247963
For DATSIK, FIREPOWER stands out as an extension of his revered and applauded musical persona. "I come from the dark, hip hop-influenced side of dubstep, and I'm trying to create a haven for that style," he explains. "There are all of these incredible young producers on the rise. I want to elevate them and promote them. If I'm playing a track in my set, I'm likely to sign it and release it. Those are my guidelines, and FIREPOWER's dance floor ammunition is my contribution to the EDM world." DATSIK's specialty is wrecking the dance floor. Barely out of high school, the Canadian artist and producer inked a deal with Excision's Rottun Recordings. He released a series of successful singles and EPs and rose to prominence as a leader of the Underground dubstep scene in North America. After collaborating with the legendary Korn on The Path of Totality, he toured the U.S. with the group. Then, 2012 saw him release his proper full-length debut, Vitamin D, via Dim Mak Records and featuring the epic single "Evilution" [Featuring JoNathan Davis of Korn & Infected Mushroom]. However, founding a label has always been part of his plan. FIREPOWER began formally contributing to that landscape with the release of AFK & Hizzleguy's 10-song EP, Full Clip. Unveiled in February 2012 on iTunes and Beatport, the collection solidified FIREPOWER as an explosive force to be reckoned with. Shortly after, the second signing Getter dropped the razor sharp Psycho EP. Other acts that make up the roster include Barron, Rekoil, Terravita, The Frim, DKS, Sub Antix and DATSIK himself. With tours planned under the label banner and more music on the horizon, they're well on their way to domination. Either duck and cover or storm the gates with them.

Beyonce: "I Will Absolutely Be Singing Live" at Super Bowl, Admits She Used Pre-Recorded Track at Inauguration
Beyonce just talked to the media to preview her Super Bowl halftime show, and she referenced her lip-synching controversy at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration. She started with an I'll show you — treating reporters to a live version of the National Anthem, to prove yes she can do that on cue.
Unfortunately, the real controversy wasn't over whether she could sing or not, it was that she made it seem like she was singing live, even ripping out her earpiece, and then hid away after the truth was leaked — until now, when she's promoting the Super Bowl and can't avoid the questions. It's all about controlling the message.
TMZ posted her live interview, and you can hear Beyonce explain that she didn't have time to rehearse for the inauguration. So, due to that and the colder weather and the lack of a proper sound check, she said, "I did not feel comfortable taking a risk" to sing live. She didn't want to potentially distract from President Obama's big day. "So I decided to sing along with my pre-recorded track," she admitted, adding that it's "very common" in the industry, and she's "very proud" of her performance.
But what about this Sunday for the Super Bowl? "I will absolutely be singing live," she said, adding that it's what she was born to do. "I always sing live," she noted later. "This inauguration was unfortuantely at a time when I couldn't rehearse with the orchestra" because she was rehearsing for the Super Bowl.
So there you go. Happy with her explanation, or too little too late for you?

Activist billionaire investor Carl Icahn dug in on his criticism of eBay's management on Monday, doubling down on his view that the company should spin off PayPal.
"This company is the quintessential example of what's wrong with governance in corporate America," he said on CNBC's "Halftime Report."
Icahn, who holds roughly 2 percent of eBay's outstanding shares, had been pushing for two seats on its board of directors and a split of PayPal from the company.
"We give the board discipline, and that's what these guys don't want," he said.

Tim asks - Can I use the Yakima Universal Mighty Mounts with the Yakima Mako Saddles and Hully Rollers on 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser factory rack crossbars so I can carry my Native Watercraft 14.5 Ultimate kayak?
ORS Crew answers - Unfortunately the Yakima Mako Saddles & Hully Roller with Universal Mighty Mount clamps will not work on the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser cross bars. No kayak racks are directly compatible with those cross bars. You will need to first install a multi-purpose base rack system on the factory side rails. This will provide the cross bars to enable you to then connect any kayak carriers. The Yakima RailGrab roof rack kit system (includes a set of four Yakima RailGrab Towers and a pair of 58 inch cross bars with end caps) is highly recommended. You can then attach any kayak carriers, including the Yakima Mako Saddles HullyRoller kayak rack combo to the RailGrab crossbars.
JMorris asks - I want to carry a Necky Spike kayak and maybe another Old Town Otter tandem kayak on a 2006 Honda Civic 4-door sedan. Would the Hully Roller-Mako Saddles system be a good choice? Do I also need the Q Towers base rack?
ORS Crew answers - This is an excellent choice for a 2006 Honda Civic hybrid kayak rack system to carry the Necky Spike and Old Town Otter tandem kayaks. You will need to first install the Yakima Q Towers base rack (includes Q Towers, pair of Q99 and pair of Q131 clips and pair of 58 inch cross bars). Then attach two complete sets of Mako Saddles and Hully Rollers to the cross bars to carry the 2 kayaks.
Mitch Olson asks - I've got a 2002 Honda Civic with two Wilderness Systems kayaks. Both are Pamlico, one 100 and one 120. We have a Yakima rack with the Big Stack carrier, but we're not 100% happy with it. We want to go instead with Mako Saddles (and also possibly Hully Rollers) but aren't sure whether or not they would fit on our rack. Can it be done?
ORS Crew answers - The Big Stack is definitely less than ideal for those styles of kayaks. You are way better off with the Mako Saddles and/or Hully Rollers set up. You can totally make this happen on your current Yakima rack on your 2002 Honda Civic rooftop. The only issue to consider is that you will need the longer 58 inch length crossbars to allow enough room to carry the two kayaks side by side. Not sure what your current length cross bars are.
RUN/KAYAK GIRL asks - I am using these saddles and the HullyRoller kayak rollers on my 2010 Lexus 450h rooftop. However, there doesn't seem to be any convenient points located underneath the car for attaching the Bow-Stern tie downs to the front and back of the 2010 Lexus 450h. Any ideas?
ORS Crew answers - Thule Racks offers excellent accessories for providing bow and stern tie-down points on cars that do not have them integrated into the underside of the vehicle. The Thule 530 Quick Loop is the easist to use on both the front and back of the car.

Attaches to round and square style cross bars (from Yakima, Thule, SportRack, Malone, Inno, ProRack + other brands). Also, when used in combination with Yakima Horizontal or Universal Mighty Mounts (not included; see accessory add-ons above) the Mako Saddles are compatible with virtually all factory rack cross bars, Thule AeroBlade, and any aerodynamically shaped roof rack crossbars. Fits Whispbar Through, Flush and Rail cross bars using Whispbar-Yakima 32H MightyMounts. For installing on Whispbar HD crossbars use the Whispbar-Yakima 32H MightyMounts. At order checkout we will obtain your vehicle year/make/model information to ensure compatibility and that correct componentry has been ordered. We also recommend using our handy Yakima Fit-Order Guide below to verify compatibility.
PLEASE NOTE: The Yakima Mako Saddles are sold as a 1/2 set (one pair), providing you the option to combine the Mako 1/2 set with the Yakima HullyRollers 1/2 set (one pair) for effortless single-person kayak loading or using a full set (two pair) of Mako Saddles when kayak loading is not a primary concern.
We highly recommend a pair of locking kayak straps to protect your boat from theft (all locking kayak straps sold separately; see accessory add-ons above).
You can lock the Mako Saddles kayak rack to your automobile's base rack crossbars by purchasing Yakima Accessory Lock Housing units (not included; see accessory add-ons above).
If loading kayak from the rear of the vehicle, the Thule 854 Water Slide Mat (not included; see accessory add-ons above) is an economical solution for simultaneously protecting your vehicle and also gaining extra assistance when loading and unloading a boat.
Alternatively, we suggest using our easy Yakima Racks automated fit guide to quickly order the correct multi-purpose base roof rack system and/or kayak carriers if you don't have one already installed:
