Recently Gene Simmons, rock star with the band KISS, put a giant foot in his makeup-covered mouth by publicly telling depressed people to go ahead and kill themselves (http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/08/15/gene-simmons-tells-depressed-people-to-kill-themselves/). This extremely-well-off public figure, who obviously considers himself above any other human beings by reason of his fame and money, has taken it upon himself to "counsel" those suffering from despair. Hopefully no one will give his words any attention or credence whatsoever. Considering that Mr. Simmons is no psychiatrist or psychologist, and claims to never have been intoxicated in his life by any substance, he is hardly an authority on subjects pertinent to what may drive a person to suicide.
Many people unwisely look to those in the public spotlight, for whatever reason, such as sports, music or film achievements, as role models. They hang on their so-called heroes' words and actions, letting themselves be inspired and taught to act the same way. When someone like this KISS member comes along and belittles those suffering from emotional trauma by egging them on to take the ultimate step in the worst possible solution to life's problems, there should be an automatic disclaimer published by whatever media spreads this so-called instruction.
To whomever has read or heard the taunting by either Gene Simmons or other bullies—and that's exactly what those kind should be labeled—to destroy themselves, please, DO NOT LISTEN. Gene Simmons and his ilk do not have any idea what you are going through. They lack the sensitivity and maturity to be capable of giving advice to anyone. Are you going to let some rich guy who could not care less about you to tell you how to solve your problems? He and his cohorts bear no responsibility for what may become of you. They likely will never face lawsuits for your wrongful death (although they ought to if anyone takes such "advice") nor will they feel the slightest twinge of guilt. This is a symptom of sociopathic behavior, and a far more insidious form of mental illness than depression. Sociopathic behavior cannot be cured; depression can, and in many instances is caused by situations that may change (for the better) at any time, with help.
To all those out there currently suffering from depression, PTSD, eating disorders, addictions, and any other illnesses that may lead you to believe you should end your life: run, don't walk, to someplace where you can get the help you need. Taking advice from Gene Simmons or other "celebrities" who have more money than brains is not the answer. Organizations exist that can either help you directly or steer you to the proper professional to deal with your problems. You have an ILLNESS that happens to affect your emotions, your mental functioning, and also your body. You are not crazy, not a leper, not a freak or a whiner. You are suffering from a condition that afflicts your body, mind and spirit all in one. Until there is a universal cure for whatever form your illness is taking you may need to seek help on a daily basis. Yet taking that step one day at a time will get you through each day until you achieve healing.
Oh, yes, Mr. Simmons has publicly said he's sorry for his remarks (http://dailycaller.com/2014/08/18/gene-simmons-apologizes-for-telling-depressed-people-to-go-kill-themselves/), probably at the urging of a public relations manager, lawyer or other professional (which he himself certainly is not). He should not, however, be let off the hook so easily. There are far too many vulnerable, impressionable people who only need a small push like such remarks as those by an infamous rock star to give them what they take as an "OK" to go ahead with very final plans. The only thing that deserves to be killed off in this case is Gene Simmons' career.

I recently popped my chain off the rear cog when accelerating from a stop.
I have done some maintenance on my bike, and last I checked the tension was pretty good, but after the chain popped off, I realized how terribly loose it was. I'm wondering if the chain possibly stretched in the time I've had it(only 100 miles or so), or if maybe I just didn't torque everything enough that keeps the chain in place. My bike is a redline monocog, which has horizontal dropouts.
When the chain popped off I cut my leg up on my pedals a bit, so I'd like to avoid that in the future.

"We are very excited about his class. We have 20 young men who were team captains last year and 24 of these kids coming from programs with winning records. They come from outstanding programs."
"Three 10-win seasons has certainly helped, but our heart and soul is in Washington, the Northwest, and California. You want to dance with who brought you and you don't want to get a big head and start running all over the country."
"We needed to reload the defense a little bit. We are excited about Randy Estes. He is one of the top safeties in the country. Michael Willis is an outstanding athlete. We had him in camp and he impressed everybody."
"Jason Roberts from Fresno will be an outstanding player for us. Mike Graise is another one that has a chance to be good down the road, and we are excited about Colin Donovan. His uncle played for the (Dallas) Cowboys. In-state we got Matt Eichelberger from Sehome in Bellingham and we are also excited about him."
"Gary Rogers is an outstanding player and had a great senior year. We evaluated him in camp and we are very confident in his abilities. Cole Morgan from Ballard High School is a tremendous leader and a good athlete. We really like both of them. It was a chance to get two good kids and we got both of them."
"We picked up an outstanding running back from Jonathan Smith's college, Jerome Harrison. J.T. Diederichs is one of the outstanding running backs in this state and probably this whole area. Ian Bell could be a running back or a corner, he is a good athlete."
"At the receiver position, we snuck in the back door for a kid named Michael Bumpus. He is one of the best receivers in the entire country. Benny Ward and Charles Dillon have excellent speed. When Devard Darling left, we were looking for some maturity in that group and we were very fortunate to get a kid named Greg Prator."
"Jake McKinney is a good, all-around football player. Bryan Baird bleeds Crimson & Gray. His whole family went to school here and he is an outstanding athlete."
"Loren Langley is from the Northwest. He kicks in the wind and the rain and he kicks off the ground."
"I think the Holiday Bowl helped us a lot. It gave us great exposure and it definitely helped this recruiting class."
"Jerome Harrison and Greg Prator are capable of contributing right away. All of the junior college signees can. We don't recruit them to redshirt or to be backups. It really depends on how our team develops over the spring and summer."

Replacing Jonathan Smith...
Potential receivers...
Replacing Drew Dunning...
Benefits of Holiday Bowl exposure...

Three new interpretative panels can be found on Biscoe street in Helena where St. Catherine's convent and boarding school used to stand. In 1858, the Sisters of Mercy, a Roman Catholic Order, established St. Catherine's, a convent and boarding school in Helena. The newly installed three panel exhibit features an image of the iconic school cupola and interprets the history of the Academy and sisters' selfless care of the wounded following the Battle of Helena."

I plan to do an Oracle course in Dream infotech. They are providing training in Oracle on Linux / Solaris. Which platform is best and has good job openings?
Solaris is probably your better bet. People willing to spend the bucks on Sun Support are more likely to choose a commercial database to run on it.
Either of these should have plenty of job offerings. Solaris is probably still slightly more common in enterprise, but Linux seems to be growing far faster than it. Either way, I don't think you'll be disadvantaged whichever one you choose. My advice would be to install them, and play around a bit, and then specialize in the one you like the most.
To answer your question, I think either is fine on the short term. On the long term, I think we'll see more Linux and less Solaris. Most new Oracle installations around here are Linux or Windows these days.
As for Oracle training, it probably won't matter much what platform your training is on, as long as it's on a *NIX. I would have no problem hiring someone trained on Oracle/Solaris even if Linux was my primary platform or vice versa.

Gas prices hold steady in W.Va.
No EU-German deal yet on exemptions from green energy surcharge
French Greens say they will not join new government
The French Greens party will not take part in a newly formed government under Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls, it said on Tuesday, breaking away from a coalition marked by tensions over energy policy. The decision capped nearly two years of tense relations between coalition partners as the Greens sought to wind down use of nuclear energy and insisted on maintaining a blanket ban on shale gas exploration. It followed a rout of the ruling Socialist Party in local elections on Sunday which prompted an unpopular President Francois Hollande to appoint his tough-talking former interior minister Valls as prime minister. "The ecologists will back the government without fail when it acts for progress and ecology, but it will oppose it whenever ecology is not taken into account," the party said in a statement.

Russia Increases Gas Prices in Ukraine as Ultra-Nationalists Turn Violent in Kiev
Russian gas company Gazprom announced today that it will hike up oil prices in Ukraine by more than 40 percent, canceling a subsidy agreement struck while ousted Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych was still in charge. According to Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller, the decision "follows from Ukraine's non-performance of obligations to repay the debt for gas supplies in 2013 and the lack of 100 percent payment for the current supplies." Currently, Russia sells gas in Ukraine for $268.5 per 1,000 cubic meters. According to Miller, Ukraine owes Russia a total of $1.7 billion for gas purchased since 2013, as the gas discount negotiated by Yanukovych "can no longer be used." According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Gazprom's harsh decision could be a sign that it won't sell to Ukraine in the future, something which would be bad news for the EU, as well:

During a February 5th, 2014 appearance on Newsmax, Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly stated, in plain English, her belief that conservatives should oppose everything Obama stands for just because he is the one standing for them.
Once again, Schlafly's chief gripe with Obama is his insistence on treating people who are not white and Christian as if they are real human beings, with her new report stating that immigration reform will doom the Republican party.
Because the idea that Hispanics might better appreciate the Republican Party if they weren't so insistent on treating them like crap is far too much for Schlafly to comprehend, it is her recommendation that immigration reform of any variety be fought with the fervor of a starving raccoon on bath salts.
"If they like it, it's certainly not going to be good for the conservative movement or for the grassroots or for the Republican Party," said Schlafly.
"Anything that Obama is for," she asserted, "I think the conservatives should be against."
Schlafly is far from the first conservative representative to so openly endorse partisanship for its own sake. Only two days before, RenewAmerica's Selwyn Duke also insisted that liberals should be opposed for no reason other than because they are liberals.
To Obama and the Democrats, I would recommend responding to this by speaking strongly in favor of breathing.

Maryland has a rich American history of democratic participation and citizen-led self-governance. Open government is simply the next evolution. Open, accessible, human-friendly and restriction-free information like MarylandCode.org makes it all possible.
We're a scrappy little non-profit, non-partisan outfit working to open government. That means making it easier for people to access and use as much government information as possible. We believe innovative technology can help deliver a government that listens, works for its citizen-users, and learns from them. We are dedicated to putting better data and better tools in more hands. Our goal is to make or adapt those tools to be easy to use, efficient, scalable and free. Democracy means everyone should have chance to be a hands-on contributor.
Click here to learn more about Team OpenGov and click here to get your hands dirty with us.
According to The Wise Geek, an API is "a set of data structures, protocols, routines and tools for accessing a web-based software application. It provides all the building blocks for developing programs with ease." The MarylandCode.org API lets others plug into our data so they can build software programs and applications that interact (and stay updated) seamlessly.
<<<Learn more about APIs>>>
A good working definition comes from the Open Knowledge Foundation: "Data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share alike." We're all living better because of it. Will it rain tomorrow? Every TV news forecast, weather app or website runs on open weather data at some level. Lost? That map in your pocket runs on open data from the Global Positioning System (GPS). These - and an exploding constellation of products and services - are made possible by open data. Imagine the possibilities if all government information came this way!
<<<Learn more about open data>>>
Yes. President Barack Obama has recognized that the ability to freely access, reuse and redistribute public information - in the manner made possible by MarylandCode.org - is central to healthy socities and democracies in the 21st Century. In his historic December 2009 Open Government Directive, the President instructed all federal agencies to publish their data:
"...online in an open format that can be retrieved, downloaded, indexed, and searched by commonly used web search applications. An open format is one that is platform independent, machine readable, and made available to the public without restrictions that would impede the re-use of that information."
Open access advances aren't limited to the federal government. Right here in Maryland, smart and tech-savvy public servants have made good progress making both city and state public data truly public. Highlights include:
XML is a document format that is both machine-readable and human-readable. That means it contains baked-in structures that computers, software and apps can understand, without all the technical gobbledygook that makes most machine-readable documents unintelligible to people. On MarylandCode.org, you're reading XML (and so is your computer!). Popular uses of XML are Microsoft Office, Apple iWork, Libre Office and RSS.
A "bulk XML download" is a way for software developers to obtain a full set of the XML documents in a given set all at once.

The Channel Cat trail is a 1.78 mile moderate trail. It is one of the newest trails in the park. On this loop trail, which is accessible from many points on the campground side of the park, we have placed a series of signs to acquaint you with the Park's unique environment.The section of Channel Cat Trail along the lake provides information on fish species and fishing techniques, and the conservation practices employed to maintain our forty acre recreational resource.The section from the CMT parking lot southward to the Beach parking lot interprets for you how a forest grows in Virginia's piedmont, so that you can "see the forest for the trees"A third section from the CMT parking lot northward back to the Lake spillway is for your own reflections on the wonders of nature.These sections can be walked in either direction, one part at a time, or as a loop to bring you full circle.The entire loop is just under two miles in length, and the trail is of moderate difficulty rating. There are some shallow creek crossings and unlevel terrain, but no steep inclines.
Blaze Color: Green
Coyote Trail is a .07 mile wheelchair accessible trail located between Cabin #12 (2 bedrooms) and the Lodge (cabin #13 - 6 bedrooms). One may access Lost Barr Loop at the end of Coyote Trail and a fishing platform just by the lakes edge. Benches at the fishing platforms are also an excellent way to sit and enjoy the beauty of Bear Creek Lake.
Blaze Color: Gold
This 14-mile loop trail weaves through the 16,233 acre Cumberland State Forest and Bear Creek Lake State Park. Trail heads are located at the Cumberland Forestry Center and Bear Creek Lake State Park. While hunting is not permitted inside the park, when outside of the park trail users are advised to wear blaze orange during the hunting season. Those interested in riding horses or mountain bikes in Cumberland State Forest must obtain a State Forest Use Permit; call (804) 492-4121 for details. State law requires that visitors carry a copy of a negative Coggins report with each horse brought to the park.

Kestrel is one of the shorter trails in the Bear Creek Lake S.P. trail system, covering only .16 of a mile, but it has a big heart. This trail connects Channel Cat Loop to Lakeside Trail at the long bridge over Little Bear Creek. Kestrel then continues to connect with the Willis River Trail, where it ends. Kestrel Trail is linear, and does not loop back into the Park. It is a beautiful trail that rises and falls quickly, like the bird it is named after.
Blaze Color: Red
Lakeside Trail is a 1.5 mile moderate trail that is accessible form the concession/picnic area and also from the Lost Barr Trail. It mainly passes around the southern headwaters of the lake, connecting the cabin area and the beach area. Like most other trails here, this one is fairly flat. Hikers should use caution however, as in some places the trail can be narrow and close to the lake. This trail also provides access to the Quail Ridge and Cumberland Multi Use Trails. Hikers should keep their eyes open for the large beaver dam that can be seen from Little Bear Creek. Keep a look out for frogs and aquatic turtles while on this trail.

Lost Barr Loop is a 1.73 mile trail easily accessible to cabin guests. Hikers may also access Lakeside Trail from the Lost Barr Loop. This trail passes through a hardwood forest & along the edge of the lake. This trail has a moderate difficulty rating. Hiking through the forested sections of this trail reminds one why the Piedmont region of Virginia is one of the most beautiful.
Otter Trail is a .16 mile wheelchair accessible trail which is located off of Kingfisher Road and next to the driveway entrance to cabins 4 & 5. One may access Lost Barr Loop at the end of this trail which is by the lake and if you look slightly to your right there is a fishing platform.
Blaze Color: Pink
The Quail Ridge Trail is a .4 mile moderate hiking trail that is accessible near where the Lakeside Trail crosses a long bridge. The trail takes hikers up a slight incline through the forest and out of the park. At the end of the trail hikers must turn around and return to the Lakeside Trail.

The Willis River Trail is a 16 mile trail that exits the park and passes through the Cumberland State Forest where it intersects the Cumberland Multi-use Trail. An excellent loop hike of about 3 miles length is possible by taking the Lakeside Trail to the Willis River Trail then the Willis River Trail to the Cumberland Multi-use Trail, and upon returning to the park, using the Channel Cat Interp. Trail to return to the parking area. While traveling through the forest, you will observe several different and unique environments. Oak-hickory forests, stands of Loblolly Pine, and harvested areas attract many different forms of wildlife. White-tailed deer, wild turkey and bobcats are common residents of this productive natural resource.

The Swinging Bridge - Not far from Bear Creek Lake State Park is one of two swinging bridges that cross the Willis River. Both are within the Cumberland State Forest, managed by the VA Department of Forestry. Dating from the 1970's, the bridges have been local landmarks ever since. The bridge at the northern end of the Forest is located off of Warner Forest Road. The bridge closest to the park (2 miles) is at the end of Arrowhead Forest Road. It is accessible by vehicle, or as a hike along the Cumberland Multi-Use Trail or Rt. 629, Oak Hill Road.

Everyone loves a good deal especially on things that tend to get pricey, like wine. Living in the Arlington, Virginia area you have most likely walked into your local Safeway store and seen all the yellow signs covering the shelves in the wine section. For wine lovers, those bright yellow signs are like Christmas: they mean there is a sale!
However, not every sale is good. Strange to think that a sale can be a bad sale, just sounds kind of silly doesn't it? Safeway has a great promo that they run periodically – on select wines you can buy one bottle for the regular price and get the second for one dime!
Which brings us to "Good Deal" vs "Bad Deal". There is a pretty good chance that you purchase wine at a number of different stores, but do you pay attention to the price tag at each store? Below are a list of wines that are featured at Safeway right now and their prices at various other stores in Arlington. Because grocery stores have thin profit margins on most items, sometimes they make up the shortfall on select items. Not all Safeway deals are good, but the same may hold true with prices at other stores.
Good Deals:
A by Acacia Chardonnay can be found at Total Wine & More for $8.49. Safeway regular price is $12.49, but with the Safeway deal buy one and get the second for a dime you are spending $6.25 each. Not bad.
Mark West Pinot Noir is listed for $7.97 at Total Wine & More. And at Target for $9.99. Regular price at Safeway is $13.99, and you get the second bottle for a dime – that's $7 a bottle.
Menage a Trois Rouge at Total Wine & More is $7.97 and at Safeway $13.99 with the second bottle for a dime - $7 a bottle.
Layer Cake Cabernet at Total Wine and More is $12.99 and at Safeway is $21.49 with the second bottle for a dime - $10.75 a bottle
Alamos Malbec at Total Wine & More is $7.47 and at Safeway is $13.99 with the second for a dime - $7 a bottle
A by Acacia Pinot Noir at Total Wine & More is $11.99 at Safeway $16.49 with the second for a dime - $8.25 a bottle
Bad Deals:
Chateau Ste Michelle Chardonnay at Total Wine & More is $7.47 at Costco is $7.40. Safeway's regular price is $19.99 second for a dime - $10 a bottle…I don't think so, not with Costco's & Total Wine's great prices!
Chateau St Jean Merlot at Total Wine & More is $8.99. Safeway regular price is $19.99 second for a dime - $10 each
Smoking Loon Merlot at Total Wine & More is $5.97. Safeway regular price is $11.99 second for a dime - $6 each
The point of this article is not only to make the reader aware of awesome deals and maybe not so awesome deals, but to become more aware of the price tag on wines you typically buy. Pay attention. Why spend $10 a bottle on Chardonnay when you know you can get it for $7? It's not about being cheap either, it's about being a savvy wine buyer. Wine does not have to burn a hole in your wallet every time you grab a bottle. Enjoy the never-ending sales, but just be aware the sale may not always be such a good deal.

If you are concerned about animal suffering, one of the most straightforward things you can do to help our non-human brethren is to go vegan. A couple of Sundays ago the Greater Lansing Vegan Dinner Club had its monthly vegan potluck, offering an opportunity for members of the community to do just that, even if just for one evening.
Marian Erickson, the group's organizer, said that most people tend to start experimenting with a vegan diet primarily for health reasons. Still, there are others who approach veganism with an eye to preventing the suffering and death of farm animals, not to mention to help mitigate the devastating effects of factory farming on the environment.
The group began in 2010, organized by Erickson and Scott Harris. As with other potlucks, members are invited to bring a dish to share.
Erickson cites the difficulty of finding a decent vegan meal in the Lansing area as one of the reasons for starting the Club. She said that people appreciate the opportunity to meet other vegans, share recipes and connect with like-minded folk from the community. Though none of the food brought to the potlucks contains animal products, the group itself is open to non-vegans. In fact, during the meet and greet, while some folks explained that they had been vegan for over 40 years, others admitted to having only been vegan for "the last two hours," or just for this evening.
The club's members welcome all guests and they hope to grow the movement. So if you are not a vegan or even a vegetarian, you will have the opportunity to taste how delicious cruelty-free food can be.
The next meetup for the Greater Lansing Vegan Dinner Club will be on Sunday May 4, 2014 at 6pm. More information can be found here. Simply join through the meetup.com website and connect with one of the friendliest and best-tasting organizations in the area.

What is the real meaning of Christmas? Is it the gifts under the tree, the beautiful lights, eating with family and friends, stockings hanging, and mailing cards - wishing "Merry Christmas" to friends and family? Is this really Christmas? For many - Christmas is a time of sadness. Not having extra money to buy presents for their children or even food for a nice Christmas dinner. But Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of Christ. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world. Luke 2: 4-19: "Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men. Thank God for Jesus Christ 'The Savior of the World'.

The victim was a 14-year-old runaway.
Disgraced ex-cop Darrin Nemelc was indicted on rape, criminal sex, and sex abuse charges on Thursday, in the rape case of a 14-year-old runaway. Nemelc claims that he didn't have sex with the teenager, but instead simply allowed the "little white girl" to use the bathroom in his house. According to Nemelc, "She was acting weird and spaced out and was crying," he told cops. "She then asked me to use my bathroom which she did," he told cops, claiming that after she used his bathroom, "She started acting weird and unstable again and left." But prosecutors say there is DNA proof of a sexual assault. His bail was set at $100,000.

According to TSN on Sunday, Kaetlyn Osmond of Marystown, Newfoundland and Kevin Reynolds of Vancouver, British Columbia will represent Canada in figure skating at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
At the Canadian National Figure Skating Championships in Ottawa this weekend, Osmond won the women's competition, while Reynolds finished second in the men's competition to World Champion Patrick Chan of Ottawa, who is a gold medal favourite.
However it has been a difficult 2013-14 season for Osmond and Reynolds until now. Reynolds missed ISU Grand Prix events with a skate problem, while Osmond has been battling a hamstring injury.
Other figure skaters who will represent Canada at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi are Liam Firus of Vancouver, British Columbia in men's singles, and Gabrielle Daleman of Newmarket, Ontario in women's singles.
Canada will also send three pairs and ice dance teams. In pairs, Canada's representatives will be Meagan Duhamel of Lively, Ontario and Eric Radford of Balmertown, Ontario, the reigning World Championship bronze medalists; Kirsten Moore-Towers of St. Catharines, Ontario and Dylan Moscovitch of Waterloo, Ontario along with Paige Lawrence of Kennedy, Saskatchewan and Rudi Swiegers of Kipling, Saskatchewan.
In ice dance, Canada's representatives will be the defending Olympic champions, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of London, Ontario, Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje of Waterloo, Ontario along with Alexandra Paul and Mitchell Islam of Barrie, Ontario.
Unlike the U.S. National Figure Skating Championships in Boston, the top three figure skaters from each discipline at the Canadian National Figure Skating Championships will represent Canada at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.

And Friday, TobyMac will perform at the Baton Rouge River Center for the second stop of his Hits Deep Tour. "Hit songs are hits in our marketplace for a reason beyond just to sell the sonics. They are hits because they are intersecting with people's lives and touch them in a deeper way. So that's how we came up with the 'Hits Deep' concept. It's hits, but they are hitting you in a deep way," TobyMac said. TobyMac said the Hits Deep Tour concept "is kind of old school ... Way back in the day — the Motortown Revue or even back in LaBamba, Big Bopper, Jerry Lee Lewis. These guys would tour with one band, and all the people with hits on the radio would come out and do their one or two or three hits. So we were like, 'What if we did that?'" This tour features Brandon Heath (see Facets of Faith on this page), Mandisa, Chris August, Britt Nicole, Jamie Grace and Group1Crew using TobyMac's band Diverse City. TobyMac said, "With my music (being) very eclectic and a mixed bag, they (Diverse City) are really good at a lot of different styles. So we thought we'll take my band and get them to play all the hits with all these artists, voices that people know and love." He said, "It's one band. The show is going to kind of flow. Each artist is going to do a couple of songs. There's not going to be a big setup or reset for the next artist. Each artist is just going to ease out as the music continues. It's just going to be hit after hit after hit. "We will do an intermission before my set. Other than that, it is going to flow." TobyMac's music has been flowing deep since the summer. The first single, "Me Without You," was released in June, and by September, it was No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Songs list. The album "Eye On It" debuted in August and was at the top of iTunes within hours. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 album list, a first for a Christian album since 1997. "When I heard it entered Billboard at No. 1, I was like 'You gotta be kidding me,'" TobyMac said. "I was not anticipating that (the success of 'Eye On It') at all. I was really surprised and honored by it going out so strong. Really, it's the people reacting to it, they want that music that is positive." TobyMac described "Eye On It" as "a bunch of songs about life. "I usually try to write from the things I've gone through and try to be real transparent and talk about my struggles, as well as the things I am striving for." He said he tries to include the good and bad of life and of loving people and God. "There's songs about everything. Usually I find that when I write about my own situation, then they kind of connect better to people's lives cause they are real." Musically, "Eye On It" is just about everything also. "It's all over the place," TobyMac said. "Stylistically, I've always been a big old pot of musical gumbo. ... It's always sort of hip-hop based, but it might extend to a straight pop dance song. It might be a song that leans sort of rootsy hip-hop." And just like the styles and the tour, guests are numerous. The album has "Lecrae, one of my favorite rappers out there; Jamie Grace, who is an artist that I signed to a label and write songs with her; then also Britt Nicole is on the album," TobyMac said. One of his sons, Truett, performs under the handle TruDog, in "Mac Daddy," a piece encouraging his father to help him get a computer faster than he can save the money. "I am just thankful I've grown as a writer, and I think I grow with every record and with every life experience," TobyMac said. "I really hope and am always hoping that my records would be some kind of medicine to people's lives. "I know that at the end of the day, it's God that does that, but that is always my hope and my prayer as I set out to do a record." He quickly added, "I also don't want to make it sound too serious, 'cause I definitely want to get the party started with my music. I don't want to shy away from that. Some bands are made for live experiences. And that's kind of what we are and what we want it to be. I want people worn out after these shows — sweating from all the dancing, screaming and worshipping." Because "Eye On It" released so recently, TobyMac isn't talking about plans for a new album. "I'm just excited for people to get that ('Eye On It'), and I'm excited to play those songs live in Louisiana," he said. "I love Louisiana. A lot of national musicians are from Baton Rouge or Shreveport, and they make their way up here. I always love the heart of those people. They are always such good people that understand how to make funky music," TobyMac said. Among those is Brent Milligan, who was featured in March in People & Faith. Milligan played with DC talk for several years. TobyMac said, "Brent and I are good friends." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe
