Castles & Crusades Aihrde: Cradle of the World Map
Ben G.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 05/04/2011 08:14:06
The Aihrde: Cradle of the World Map published by Troll Lord Games is a beautifully rendered map generated for the Castles & Crusades world, but great for any campaign, or just to look at yearningly. Seriously, this is one very nice looking map - suitable for hanging on a wall, laminating on top of your gaming table or any other number of worshipful things.
With two PDFs available, one weighing in at 40MB and another at 92MB, the two files are scaled for different print sizes. The larger map is suitable for printing out at 55" x 36" at 300 DPI. That's a big map!
The map is well constructed, full of high level details, easy to read and great to look at. At a scale of one inch to 24 miles, it will give you plenty of room to move your campaign about in.
I'll admit that I'm not terribly familiar with the Castles & Crusades games. Regardless of whether you'll be using this map with C&C or in another system, if you're looking for a large campaign area with plenty of details, opportunities for exploration, delving and adventure, you'll like this map.
The only turn off may be the price. At $19.99 (plus the cost of you printing it out if you're not going to use it electronically) it's a fairly expensive purchase.

Castles & Crusades Castle Keepers Guide

If you want to tweak your C&C game, look no further than this book. Basically the Castle Keepers Guide takes a toolkit approach to modifying the Siege Engine. Much of the optional rules re-introduce elements of the full 3.x SRD, but the real beauty of the book for me is in the analysis of the game engine. Highly recommended for anyone interested in spicing up their C&C game.

Like every one else I have been waiting a long time to get my hands on the CKG. I could not get in on the pre-order.
I really struggled with the idea of paying $32 for the PDF. In the end my better judgment lost and I got it.
After reading through it I have got to say Its a great book. Part DMG part campaign planner.
For me the expanded rules for character building is great. As well as options for fine tuning the siege engine to taste is great too.
My only complaint is the price really. Too much for a PDF. If this was any other book. And any other company I would never have paid so much. $20 or even $25 I would have not hesitated.

I really like C&C and the siege engine, And I'm a long time fan of dark fantasy.. So picking this up was a must. It is what it is, a small campaign setting for C&C. Its dark and the over all power level is kicked up a notch or two. For what it is its a lot of fun.

Harvesters does a lot of stuff well. It has full-playability and simplicity, coupled with a simple, Redwall-esque setting. You can play it with any group you wanted to, though its simplicity and style markets itself towards children.
It doesn't have loads and loads of stuff to make it bulky (think about game systems which go to 400 pages and detail the exact effects of a Cobra Venom Poisoned Spike Trap (Lesser), which means that while it's easier to use, it's also harder to run, but if you want a game to play with a younger audience without outright alienating older audiences (assuming, of course, they're open-minded enough to take the thought of playing as talking animals seriously), Harvesters is a one-stop shop.

Castles & Crusades Where Cool Waters Run
Peter I.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 10/12/2010 12:15:09
Castles and Crusades - Where Cool Water Runs is a short stand-along encounter from Troll Lord Games for the Castles and Crusades gaming system. This encounter is suitable for 3 to 5 characters of levels 4 to 7, and sees the characters being hunted by several cunning and deadly creatures as the PCs inadvertently approach their nest. As one would expect, the encounter takes place in a single setting - in this instance a refreshing glade through which a gentle stream runs. The presentation of this product is top notch, sticking to the format maintained throughout all Troll Lord Games' products. My only quibble here is the lack of a scale on the map provided. This encounter can be used in any campaign setting, and very useful and interesting adaptations are included in the 6 page product for Troll Lord Games' own world of Aihrde.
The encounter is a fairly simple one but very well detailed to make sure that CKs will know exactly what to do with which creature and when. I thought the tactics of the creatures involved, a new creature called the charon fiend, were very good, suiting both the nature of the encounter and the details of the creatures themselves. Often the best encounters are those that use the terrain well, and some elements of that are present here. The tactics will give the PCs some thought, and make for an entertaining encounter where the PCs won't know where the threats are coming from. The charon fiends themselves are probably the best part of the product as a whole - I liked their flavor, their description and their mechanical details. I think these creatures can be both terrifying and dangerous at the same time, particularly if used with the tactics described in the encounter. One weakness of the encounter, and really with a lot of products of this nature, is that the encounter is by and large telegraphed. If the CK starts reading blocked text in a seemingly innocuous clearing, there's little doubt the PCs and the players will expect something. It would've been useful if the encounter had been scripted to not be so obvious, or at least given the characters a non-mundane reason for stopping in the clearing and hence triggering the encounter. Overall, though, a very clean and neat product with some uniqueness in the new creature involved and some decent encounter design.

A random encounter with a new creature, not particularly water-related, vividly written and (credit where credit's due) cleanly edited. I found the creature's name a little distracting, but otherwise it's a fine addition.

This is a really great system for someone that loves 3rd edition but wants something a lot simpler and easier to manage. It's also really easy to house-rule, and I think I'm going to start running this game over any other rules system from now on (and that's a big deal, because I was really sold on Pathfinder up until now). The game is just way too easy to run and understand for new and younger players, and you don't need a 600 page rulebook to play it. If you love "crunch," this probably isn't the game for you, but I don't see why you still wouldn't love playing it. Classic fantasy roleplaying at its finest!

I love Castles & Crusades! It's a really great rules system, and this book doesn't disappoint. The book is extremely well-organized and easy to read, and you can tell the author put a lot of thought into the rules. The treasure tables are quite simply some of the easiest to understand that I've ever seen. There's enough art to keep the book looking beautiful, but not so much that the pages seem cluttered. Great job, Troll Lords!

This is a solid old-school campaign, with interconnected adventures and a sandbox adventuring area and mini setting introducing players to the world to Aihrde. It really has incredible depth, tone, and material for months of gaming. An excellent product. I now also own the boxed set.

In Harvesters, players take on the roles of anthropomorphic animals who go on D&D-like adventures. It's basically Redwall meets Dungeons and Dragons. The game uses a slightly paired-down version of the Castles & Crusades rules system. It is intended to appeal to children ages 6 and up, although there's nothing here that would keep adults from enjoying it. The first half of the book contains the rules. The second half is an adventure.
I played this game with my two children; boys ages 10 and 7. They both have some experience with RPGs, having played a handful of games with me before. The bottom line is that my boys had a great time. We were up past midnight playing and Harvesters was the very first thing that my 10 year old son talked about the next morning.
I'll start with the adventure, which is really the meat of this product. The plot focuses on the mystery of a group of missing animals, who've disappeared while bringing in the all important fall harvest. The players explore the countryside, following clues to find the lost harvesters. The book details an area with lots of things for the players to encounter and explore. If the players pick up on the clues, they can go from point A to point B, skipping a lot of the superfluous regions. Alternately, they can wander around, meeting hostile snakes, a noble skunk, and other interesting creatures. With all the detail about the town of Wheat Hollow and the surrounding regions, Harvesters has the makings of an interesting little Campaign Setting. I really enjoyed what is here and I'd like to see more.
Also, I have to mention that my kids got right into the adventure setting. My 7 year-old was playing a River Otter Knight named Sir Otter. His first order of business was visiting the locale colony of River Otters, helping them fish for a while and collecting a few fish of his own to take along on the adventure (he carefully wrote "3 fish" on his character sheet). He also used his swimming ability to his advantage during the adventure. I think both kids got into the role of their specific animals.
My older son grabbed on to the plot right away. He picked up on the clues presented in the adventure and came to the right conclusion about what happened to the harvesters. He was very excited to find evidence of a wolverine's involvement (his Badger Cleric's natural enemy!) and spent the whole adventure looking around every corner for wolverines. I think this adventure is perfect for kids and mine are very eager to finish it.
The rules are pretty much copied right from the Castles and Crusades Player's Handbook, only paired-down to cover a smaller range of levels. I'm a fan of C&C and its simplicity lends itself well to a game for children. There were a couple of places, though, where the rules relied too much on the C&C books. For example, Harvesters only describes spells very briefly, forcing me to crack open my Castles & Crusades Player's Handbook to find out the distance, duration, and specific effects of various spells. The product blurb claims that Harvesters contains "all the rules you need to get started", but a GM is on his own for all but the most basic spell info.
In other places, the rules are complete but not distinct enough for my tastes. I would have really liked to see some elements unique to Harvesters. I was expecting to see clever animal-themed spells, equipment, and classes. Instead, we get the typical D&D tropes of fighters, wizards, chainmail, etc. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE those things, but it would have been nice if the game put a more distinct spin on them and made them its own. Harvesters, while certainly very playable, doesn't feel as complete as it should. It's good, but I want it to stand truly on its own and be great.
I give Harvesters 4 stars. If the idea of playing a Redwall-inspired D&D game appeals to you, or you're looking for an RPG that you can play with your kids, give Harvesters a try.

A nice, relatively straightforward, low level adventure that is perfect for when you mostly want to bash skeletons in with an ax.
That being said, there is enough detail laid out in the town and surrounding areas, including NPCs, that a campaign or a series of adventures could be built around the town and the people living there.

Tries to be "Ravenloft, but darker" and fails. Interesting use of the Castles and Crusades core mechanic and could be made to work with Ravenloft for the C&C fan. If you like dark fantasy horror and are curious about C&C then this is your game. Otherwise I was a bit disappointed in it.

Troll Lord Games has released Harvesters, their RPG with rabbits, squirrels and other furry critters in PDF format. So, what do you get for your hard earned bucks?
You get a nicely written version of the Castles & Crusades rules that are aren't going to overwhelm your kids, yet should still maintain the interests of the parents. We get most of the C&C classes represented in the rules, and advancement thru level 6. If your campaign was going to go beyond that, you'd need to reach over and flip thru the Castles & Crusades Player's Handbook.
The 66 page book includes character races, classes, spells, equipment, core rules, adversaries and even an adventure and campaign world. A lot crammed into a small number of pages.
Is it worth the price tag? If you have young kids that are interested in Role Playing Games, this might be a very good entry vehicle, especially if the GM/DM/CK is already familiar with 3.5e or any of the clones of the older D&D games (including Harvesters' direct parent, Castles and Crusades). It might even play well as a short term diversion for more adult oriented gaming groups.

In schools, Anthony teaches that "Native people are as diverse as the entire world." You would have to write a book on each tribe to describe them respectively. In Anthony's educational presentation he tries to introduce a little bit of each one. It is our responsibility to keep our children's minds open to being diverse and creating an atmosphere to learn about culture. I feel to a degree that Native culture has been lost and I am helping to bring it back.

Did you know that viruses and bacteria can live up to two hours (or more) on doorknobs, tables, desks and other surfaces that schoolchildren touch? One way to prevent the spread of germs among children is to encourage them to wash their hands with soap and warm water, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For those times when soap and water aren't feasible, have disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers handy. The gel should be rubbed on the hands until it is dry.

The exact date of the onset is unknown, but it must have happened in the period 1796/1798. It was a very slow process and not until 1817 Beethoven began to use the so-called Konversationshefte (conversation books), because he couldn't communicate anymore with his visitors. They had to write down their questions and remarks. However, as late as 1825 he was still able to hear very loud sounds. The first who tried to write a complete anamnesis of all Beethoven's illnesses, including, of course, his deafness was Schweisheimer and he did so in 1922. He thought that Beethoven's other chronic illness, his bowel problems, had had the same background, most probably an underlying chronic disease, maybe an infection. To this day there's no certainty about the cause of those problems, nor about the deafness. We only know for sure that from about 1820/1 Beethoven suffered from chronic liver cirrhosis and it looks as if this is also the cause of his death.

of service, knowledge of local building codes, pricing, relationships and
reputation in the market. We are the second largest new residential installer of
insulation in the United States based on our internal estimates. The building
products installation industry is highly fragmented. The markets for our
non-insulation installation services are even more fragmented than the markets
for insulation installation services. Our competitors include two other large
national contractors, several large regional contractors and numerous local
contractors. Some of our competitors have greater financial and other resources
than we do. We believe we will continue to effectively compete in our local
markets given our long standing customer relationships, access to capital,
tenure and quality of local staff, quality installation reputation and
competitive pricing.
We are the second largest new residential insulation installer in the United
States based on our internal estimates, with a national platform consisting of
over 100 locations serving customers in 44 states. We believe we have the number
one or two market position for new single-family insulation
installation in more
than half of the markets in which we operate, based on permits issued in those
markets. We also install complementary building products, including garage
doors, rain gutters, shower doors, closet shelving and mirrors, which provide
cross-selling opportunities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we
generated net revenue of $312.6 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $16.3 million and
net income of $3.7 million. This represents a 49.0% increase in net revenue and
a 3.1 times increase in Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2012. Approximately 79% of our net revenue in the nine months
ended September 30, 2013 was derived from sales to the U.S. residential new
construction market.
We manage all aspects of the installation process for our customers, from our
direct purchase and receipt of materials from national manufacturers, to our
timely supply of materials to job sites and quality installation. Installation
of insulation, which includes air sealing, is a critical phase in the
construction process, as certain interior work cannot begin until the insulation
phase passes inspection. We benefit from our national scale, long-standing
supplier relationships and a broad customer base that includes production and
custom homebuilders, multi-family and commercial contractors, and homeowners.
During each of the past five years, no single customer accounted for more than
3% of our net revenue.
Our business began in 1977 with one location in Columbus, Ohio. In the late
1990s, we began our acquisition strategy with the goal of creating a national
platform. Since 1999, we have successfully completed and integrated over 90
acquisitions, which has allowed us to generate significant scale and to
diversify our product offering while expanding into some of the most attractive
housing markets in the United States. Over the past several years, our net
revenue has increased at a faster rate than our operating expenses, resulting in
an improved cost structure and a more efficient and scalable operating model to
improve our financial performance and returns on invested capital. We are well
positioned to continue to grow our business through the ongoing housing
recovery, market share gains and acquisitions. We estimate that we have grown
our share of the U.S. residential new construction insulation installation
market from approximately 5% as of December 31, 2005 to approximately 16% as of
September 30, 2013, based on total U.S. housing completions.

Wales overwhelm Italy in the rainComment on this story
Rome – Defending champions Wales overwhelmed Italy 26-9 in torrential rain in the third round of the Six Nations championship on Saturday with Man of the Match Leigh Halfpenny kicking 16 points.
Fullback Halfpenny missed only one kick in the difficult conditions while centre Jonathan Davies and right wing Alex Cuthbert scored second-half tries.
Italian captain Martin Castrogiovanni, taking over from the suspended Sergio Parisse, was sent to the sin bin in the second half after being shown a yellow card.
Wales now have two wins from three matches while Italy, who upset France in the first round, have lost twice. – Reuters

For me this is the crown jewel of my collection!! It has no weaknesses..... Paint, pose, base, mixed media, likeness, accuracy, scale you name it this piece has it and at the highest level!! Thank you
— Geo
I'm a huge fan of Hellboy and Mike Mignola, this piece does both justice. It's hard to capture a style like Mignola's in a 3D medium without making it look like a pop-out, but this figure succeeds. I haven't got any flaws in mine whatsoever (really good job, Sideshow). A must for HB/Mignola fans

Fabulous render of a classic comic character. Was never going to get him but once I saw him, he was a must have. Sideshow at its best.
Incredible statue , so glad I bought it, giant in size, please Dr Fate , Spectre, Deadman , Etrigan any of these please

Sterling Height MI
The sculpt is perfect Mignola. This brings HB to life as if Sideshow opened their own portal on a dark night in England! If you don't see it, eat a pancake and it will all become clear that this piece is top notch!
— A Viewer
Hellboy comes to life with this very well detailed statue. If you're a fan of Hellboy then this is a must have.
— Dave Hart
Vancouver, WA
This is amazing to say the least, possibly one of the best premium formats I own. The clothes are superb, sculpting excellent, and the paint immaculate. I imagine Mike Mignola himself owns and loves this piece. Well done sideshow, well done indeed.
— Matthew
This statue is a beast. The pictures do not do it justice at all. Well sculpted and great size. You wont be disappointed.

EVERY male employee of St. Francis Diner - m4m
I was there again this morning. I was the guy in the 4-top wearing an Argyle sweater and eating a patty melt - you were every male employee on staff. I couldn't take my eyes off of you. Each one sexy in your own way. There is clearly some discrimination going on in the hiring process, but everybody wins. You all got jobs and I get unimaginably sweet eye candy. I got all of my words caught in my throat whenever you threw me a glance. I DID want more coffee, I just couldn't move to make that clear at the moment. Shark Tooth Necklace - you might have been the cutest of them all, but Dark Blue Shades of Camouflage, your baby blues melted my butter: I felt a stirring. Gray Shirt I got butterflies, manly ones, fluttering inside of me when you came to Pop's to let us know our table was ready. Even you, Plaid Shirt and Other Guy, were astoundingly suave and polite, erotically so. I just want to take you all to some kitschy looking trailer in the middle of a desert and drink off-brand beers and listen to some music that I'd pretend I'd already heard of. We wouldn't have to take all of our clothes of right away either: we could play some Big Buck Hunter and talk about architecture and tattoos. We could mud wrestle or make a fire, maybe toss rocks at some cans lined up on a fence. If you're looking to have a six-way - or maybe a monogamous long term relationship with each other and me - I'm willing to consider it.
See you soon,

ENRON'S MANY STRANDS: The Company Unravels; Enron Buffed Image to a Shine Even as It Rotted From Within
By KURT EICHENWALD with DIANA B. HENRIQUES
Published: February 10, 2002
HOUSTON, Feb. 9— Kenneth L. Lay strode onto a ballroom stage at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort in San Antonio, walking between two giant screens that displayed his projected image. Before him, bright light from the ballroom's chandeliers spilled across scores of round tables where executives from the Enron Corporation waited to hear the words of Mr. Lay, their longtime chairman and chief executive.
This meeting of hundreds of Enron executives in the first week of January 2001 was a time of revelry, a chance to celebrate a year when business seemed good -- even better than good. At night, according to executives who attended, Champagne and liquor flowed from the open bar, while fistfuls of free cigars were available for the taking. Executives could belly up to temporary gambling tables for high-stakes games of poker. Others found their excitement in the company-sponsored car race; one executive had even hired a truck to transport his three Ferraris from Houston for the event.
Now, as waiters wearing bolo ties scurried about, the executives listened eagerly to Mr. Lay's descriptions of Enron's recent year of success, and the new successes that were within reach. Already, Enron was near the top of the Fortune 500, a multibillion-dollar behemoth that had moved beyond its roots in the natural gas business to blaze new trails in Internet commerce. For 2001, Mr. Lay said, the company would take on a new mission, one that would define everything it did in the months to come: Enron would become ''the world's greatest company.'' The words replaced his image on one of the screens.
But it was not to be. For, unknown to almost everyone there, Enron was secretly falling apart. Even as the celebrations unfolded, accountants and trading experts at the company's Houston headquarters were desperately working to contain a financial disaster, one that threatened -- and ultimately would destroy -- everything Enron had become. A handful of executives were struggling to sound the alarm, but with Enron's confidence in its destiny, the warnings went unheeded.
''We were so sure of what we were doing and where we were going,'' one executive who attended the San Antonio meeting said. ''We didn't know we were living on borrowed time.''
Investigators picking through the wreckage of Enron, seeking to understand what caused its collapse in December, have explored its byzantine partnerships and financial strategies. From these details, a clearer picture has begun to emerge about what happened inside the thick walls of Enron during its last 11 months. It is two completely different tales -- the public image, polished by its most senior officers, of an innovative powerhouse on the verge of reshaping the world, and the hidden truth of a company plagued by secrets, whose executives were struggling to hold it together. It was like a gleaming ocean liner seemingly powering forward, its passengers dining in luxury, while, below the waterline, its sweaty crew frantically bails against the force of an in-rushing sea.
By the final days, the sea had won. Attempts by Enron executives to seek a rescue from their powerful friends in Washington and last-ditch efforts to save the company through a merger had ended in failure. When the company finally sought bankruptcy protection, it marked the biggest, fastest corporate collapse in American history.
Details of Enron's last year were pieced together from internal records of the company and its auditor, audio and video tapes, court documents, partnership records, Congressional testimony and information from a report by a special committee of the company's board and from interviews with current and former executives, government officials and lawyers involved in the case.
With the speed in which they traveled from confidence to collapse, executives who once thought they could see their futures clearly and who believed in their employer have found their faith fundamentally shaken. ''Given the events at Enron, given the short time period in which it happened, given the economic disaster, it fundamentally challenges everything I think about the way companies work,'' said Allan Sommer, former vice president for corporate systems at Enron. ''If Enron was able to hide this the way they did, why couldn't other companies do it, too?''
Riding High
Power on Parade At Bush Inauguration
As a chilly rain soaked the streets of Washington on Jan. 20, 2001, the motorcade of President George W. Bush moved past the reviewing stand, near where he had just taken the oath of office. As the new president headed toward Pennsylvania Avenue, the cheers of supporters mixed gamely with the boos of protesters, an aural reminder of the divisions that had split the country during one of its most disputed elections ever.
Nearby, in the exclusive ''Pioneers'' box on the parade route, Ken Lay watched the festivities. He was there amidst an elite group of about 200 men and women who had each raised $100,000 for Mr. Bush's campaign. Nearby, other Enron executives watched the parade from the elegant Willard hotel and office complex, two blocks from the White House, where the company's law firm, Vinson & Elkins, has its Washington office.

The path of love is not a path of comfort
It means going into the unknown, even if you are afraid
Trusting is dangerous, but without trust, there can be no hope for love,
And love is all we have to hold against the darkness.
love is worth nothing until it has been tested by it's own defeat.

This is the way I interpret this marketing ad:
The movie bombed at the box-office with a bad word of mouth with no repeat viewers and with potential new DVD buyers/renters driven away by their friends who have already seen it in theaters...so might as well put Charlize Theron on the front cover so that the pretty blonde could attract more potential buyers and renters of this film.
The movie was a success
Then all of you guys go rent and re-watch it again, and buy it on DVD and Blu-ray.
I am just wondering why you said it was not? It did well domestically and really well world wide and most likely on dvd

Pillory Hillary; Facts Are Important
I have little doubt that Congressional Republicans' principal purpose for the multiple Benghazi hearings is to embarrass the President and make a potential Presidential run by former Secretary of State Clinton less likely.

text: lift2lower Reinier & Pirke Bergsma Amsterdam Who are Lift2Lower? Brothers Reinier and Pirke Bergsma from Amsterdam. Not only do they share the same parents and their love for electronic music. They also have a studio together where they like to freak with their equipment till the sun comes up. That is off course, if they're not in a dj booth or partying in a club themselves! Their goal? To make mindblowing records for dancefloors around the globe. Questions & Answers Did you guys listen to music together when you were younger? Reinier: ' Well, we did grew up in the same house and Pirke had a big record collection. I was the younger brother, so you know how that goes. Pirke was 17 and needed his privacy. Girls, girls, girls. He didn't want me in his room going through his vinyl collection. So I had to wait till he wasn't around and sneak into his room. His selection of records had a big influence on my taste for music. Prince, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, Art of Noise.' Pirke: 'It was because of the age difference that we didn't really listen to music together back then. But I knew he always stole my records while I was out of the house haha! I always knew where to find them back though. I worked in a record shop just to get the latest stuff and brought it home, so there was a lot of music in the house anyway.' What made you two decide to work together? Reinier: 'We started producing together in the studio a year ago and also decided to do gigs together. The reason is actually very simple, it's just more fun. We did gig apart from each other for a long time and now it's time to share that passion and take it to the next level.' Pirke: 'And I was getting a bit tired of doing the music stuff in the studio by myself. For the last couple of years I focussed on producing and skipped the djing. But now I want to play my music live. Why not combine forces! And it's indeed a lot more fun! The combination works really well in the dj-set because I am more the LIFT cause I like the tracks with the party vibe that takes you over the hill and Reinier is more the LOWER taking it into the deep. The best of both worlds for an excellent night.' Family in one studio. Asking for trouble? Reinier: 'No, not at all. It's the other way around. We don't have to be careful with our words. We say it as it is. Blunt criticism.' Pirke: 'Only when he farts…' What are each others hidden talents? Reinier: 'Making a mess in the studio! No, I think Pirke really understands how to build a track. He used to make popmusic and looks at dance tracks as a popsong. Solid, layered. He's the producer, where I'm the dj I think. He's the wizard in the studio, maybe I know a bit better what's going on in the clubs at the moment music wise.' Pirke: 'Reinier has an excellent taste for good music, he listens to a lot of tracks and is able to make a very selected choice of only the best tracks. And that's sometimes difficult with so many tracks available. He feels it immediately when a track is made with the right elements: sounds, groove, vibe and a lot of love.' An artist album of Lift2Lower, which producers would be aloud to give their opinion before releasing it? Reinier: 'Groove Armada, they're fantastic producers. Also Timewriter and Terry Lee Brown Jr. I've been a fan of their work since the beginning. Their deep and warm sound is overwhelming. But I also really like the work of producers Henry Saiz and Seb Dhajje' Pirke: I think Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz brought the music back into dance music when it was getting a bit too minimal and monotone on the dancefloor. They're both geniuses in the studio. They make tracks sound so good. And above all they really have have their own style. Mark Knight as well. I think he rocks! I also like Audiowhores a lot.' Who's the biggest party animal? Reinier: 'Oh well, that depends what kind of vodka is involved. But ehm no, that honour goes to my brother. I know my limitations.' Pirke: 'Haha! Yes, that'll have to be me. I do like a good party! When the people and music are right, I'm at my best! So, it's definite now? I can take this award home? Thank you!' Where is Lift2Lower in 5 years? Reinier: 'On a tropical beach with our greatest hits on an iPod. Well, and if that's not the case, then I hope by then we have produced one good artist album. And I hope we still have a lot of fun together in the booth. That's what it's all about.' Pirke: 'Hopefully looking back on 5 years of good fun and good music and travels.'

Content's expanding duty 2016 will certainly see an enhanced need for natural, customized, personal material
Content is king, and it is anticipated to play an even bigger duty in 2016 electronic marketing. Growths in publishing, imaginative as well as targeting modern technology have actually made material development progressively accessible for all marketing professionals, from local business to the largest organizations. A solid approach of innovative, personal, intriguing content is overshadowing the typical departments of Search Engine Optimization management, advertising and marketing as well as innovative. Ahead of the brand-new year, below is Brafton's take on the predictions for the expanded role of content, as well as our tips for taking advantage of it.
"Content is the brand-new ad".
"Advertising" doesn't have to always suggest paid promo or marketing, particularly since content could be less costly, less limiting and also much more efficient than several paid advertisement formats.
According to Advertising and marketing Insider Team, 2016 will certainly be "the age of ad stopping … As an increasing number of customers download ad blockers on their computers and cellular phone, opt-out of telemarketing lists, and reduce their cable membership cables, marketers will certainly begin to see the futility of spending so much of their spending plans on ads no one desires … This will certainly drive a boost in material advertising and marketing budgets. It will require a lot more marketing experts to consider how you can create as well as publish material their consumers actually want.
Content cuts through advertisement blockers, offers product that viewers desire and also drives qualified website traffic and conversions. Conventional paid marketing still fits in advertising and marketing, but material's role is demanding an increasing share of advertising and marketing budgets for 2016.
"Material is the brand-new creative".
Numerous companies plan to increase their material advertising budget plan in the next year, which is leading to a boosting demand for premium innovative techniques to attract attention from the remainder of the pack.
Broadening on the role of the traditional "innovative director", content directors in 2016 will be tasked with communicating without directly offering, and also doing this with assembling, targeted media. Content must be instructional, amusing (see GE's Jeff Goldblum video) or enriching, as opposed to a message focused around a direct sales pitch.
Content marketing professional jobs now include:.
re-purposing material.
locating a brand-new way to claim something.
locating creative means of targeting audiences.
connecting audiences with content.
"Material is the brand-new SEO".
With each update of Penguin, Google continues punishing Search Engine Optimization tactics in violation of their policy. And with every formula update like Panda as well as RankBrain, Google awards top notch material.
Forbes covers the the reduction as well as coming obsolescence of black-hat link-building for Search Engine Optimization:.
"By the end of next year, brand-new Penguin modifications and a total decline in opportunities to do this type of web link structure will certainly make its ROI negligible once and for all, forcing even more companies to pursue … top quality material publication that attracts and also makes web links on its own benefit.".
Content is organic, inexpensive as well as interesting. Many companies know why it is so effective, yet remaining on top of the best ways to take advantage of each aspect of content advertising from year to year could be challenging. Right here is our checklist of fads as well as ideas for writing a blog, producing video clip, running social media, creating graphics as well as composing longform items in 2016.

This lovely framed & matted bird print measures 12" x 15" framed. The opening in the mat is 7" x 10". The print is an Audubon print of a male and a female PINE-CREEPING WOOD WARBLER. The male has the bright yellow belly and female shows brown only. They are perched on a pine bough. The printer identification is probably covered by the mat. Although this is not an original Audubon engraving, it is a quality print. The frame is wood finished to resemble bamboo. The back of the frame has a label identifying the framing and print shop. There is some minor foxing on the mat. This displays beautifully alone or as part of a grouping.

Simon Ibell - The Man Who Refuses to Quit>>
A rare illness pushed Simon Ibell to the limit. A relentless, no-quit attitude helped him push back. Now he's fighting to help others like him.>>
The science proves it, but are humans ready to see them as equals? Get ready for a new world order.
Photo: Jonathan Bird/Getty
Not three metres from where I'm standing on the starboard side of the sailboat, six very large female sperm whales are doing something few humans have ever witnessed.
The captain of our 40-foot cutter is Dalhousie University biologist Hal Whitehead, one of the pre-eminent experts on sperm whales. It's mid-afternoon on a sunny day in Mexico's Gulf of California, a 1,000-kilometre-long body of water famous for its biodiversity. The gulf's strong tides create a cool upwelling of nutrients that support countless species of marine life, such as snappers, sardines and sharks, as well as that fierce mass of tentacles known as the Humboldt squid. Sperm whales hunt these squid year-round—they dive kilometres under the surface, pinpoint the squid with their sonar and snap them into their large and toothy grins.
For the past five days, Whitehead and four crew members—including two Ph.D. students named Armando Manolo Álvarez Torres and Catalina Gomez—have been shadowing the sperm whales around the clock. They track their underwater echolocation pings on the hydrophone by night, and observe and photograph the animals by day. In many ways Whitehead's approach is that of an old-fashioned behavioural scientist. While younger whale researchers tend to collect data using implants and satellite tracking, Whitehead still prefers following whales in person. By watching who spends time with whom doing what, he can extract insights about their social structure.
Until now, the whale behaviour on display during our trip has been pretty basic: They disappeared into the deep and—invisible to us—hunted. A bushy waterspout, often spotted from the crow's nest, announced their return to the surface. Family units of half a dozen or so bobbed at the surface of the water, reoxygenating their blood and preparing for the next dive.
But on rare occasions the whales did something else: They socialized, squirming all over one another like a business of monster-size aquatic ferrets. "Whoa," says Gomez, as the water in front of her churns with activity. One of the whales rolls onto her side—we can see the tender pink of her jaw, surprisingly slight and narrow against her large proboscis. Another whale rolls over her, twisting as she moves, while a third pokes her nose vertically out of the water, as if sniffing the air, before undulating sharply, bunching her back as she slides down and into the other bodies. The high-powered field camera whirls as Gomez shoots photo after photo while another crew member furiously fills out the behavioural log in the day's workbook.
Next: We're destroying not just individual whale lives,
but an ancient, living culture.

Whispers Pub and Eatery
This pub has character brought from the early part of the last century. The old house turned into a great pub. The atmosphere is sparked by antique charm. Food specials are daily and tasty. Without a special the deal goes south. Over priced food for little quantity matching the quality. Nice place for a beer and a quick bite.
Invites the crowds with atmosphere and pub fare specials.
Food: Pizza was great the first time we went, the shared fajita was a poor choice.
Drinks: Had Kilkenny and Keiths White
Cleanliness: very well kept
Hick meter: locals
Attitude: blah
Bathroom: closet like and smelled funny...go figure
Bonus: nice place to hang
Complaints: service does not go out of their way
