Smackdown's GM Daniel Bryan returned to offer up a solution to their women's Money in the Bank controversy.
Smackdown's GM Daniel Bryan returned to offer up a solution to their women's Money in the Bank controversy.
What's next for Baron Corbin, Carmella and Jinder Mahal?
Do Shinsuke Nakumura and Charlotte Flair have momentum going into Money in the Bank?
There was a great brawl between Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe to start Raw, but the show quickly went off the rails after that.
The upcoming Money in the Bank event loomed large over Smackdown Live.
It was a bad night for anybody that got in Samoa Joe's as "The Destroyer" continued to gain momentum on Raw.
The bad guys ruled the ring in Baltimore Sunday night.
That's two weeks in a row with Shinsuke Nakamura pinning Kevin Owens.
The five men in Sunday's Extreme Rules main event were featured in two matches on Monday's Raw.
A main event tag match continued the Raw build to Extreme Rules while Finn Balor had a chat with Paul Heyman before his match.
There was a shocking end to WWE Backlash as Jinder Mahal pinned Randy Orton win the WWE Championship for the first time. What's next?

This session talked about the different need of children and youth from preschool, through children's ministry, into middle school and finally through high school.
Check out my notes HERE.

Going to a new church is a nerve racking for many families. They are nervous, overwhelmed and are not sure where the sanctuary is, where they are supposed to go to drop off their children and how to pick them back up after service. For families who have children with special needs, changes churches are often a major undertaking. They may have experienced their child being rejected (asked not to come back), their child melting down from the crowds and sensory overload. Just getting to the front door of your special needs ministry maybe a quite an adventure for them. Does your church make it easy for these families to attend church? What improvements can be made to help assist them?
Drive onto your church campus from the perspective of a parent who has children with special needs. How would they know where to park? Best way to navigate their way to the special needs classroom? Are there a lot of crowds or loud noises?
After speaking to new families so I could better prepared for them as newcomers, I found the following tips to be the most helpful:
This was a discussion led by leaders from five different churches who shared their experience as they move beyond the walls of their building to reach out into the community and begin to love their neighbor as themselves.
Check out my notes here and stay tuned for a more in depth post with my complete thoughts on it.
Matt N.
Volunteers? Where are all the volunteers? At times we struggle to find volunteers to work within our special needs ministries. In yesterday's workshop lead by Linda Martin, she suggests that in order to effectively recruit volunteers there needs to be an awareness of your special needs ministry. For many churches across the nation creating awareness that there is a special needs ministry within their church is challenging. When people within your church and community are aware that you have a thriving ministry that works with families and their children who have special needs, you will find those precious volunteers.
How do you create awareness of your special needs ministry?
• Ministry Fairs-great way to interact with people who may be interested in volunteering
• Share your vision and enthusiasm for your ministry with others. Others will be impacted by your passion.
• Catchy, attention grabbing bulletins
• Video spot during church announcements
• Facebook-this is a great tool! I have found 4 volunteers in the past week through social media
• Invite special guest or speakers to your church–Nick Vujicic, Joni Erickson Tada, etc…
• Draw people to your room–pictures, brochures, prayer boxes, bulletin boards
• Publicize special events that you are having in the bulletin
• Be active in the community–team walks, resource fairs, activities
• Foster relationships with agencies that will allow you to post your events on their site as a resource for families
• Wear shirts , buttons and hats that advertise your ministry
• Put a sandwich sign outside your children's floor.
• Ask…simple ask people if they would be interested in working in your ministry.
• Ask your prayer team to pray for people's heart to be stirred and to step out in faith
• Let your pastor's what you are doing and what your results from your outreach efforts
Be sure to check out my notes on this session. Craig Groeschel was AMAZING. I think that myself along with hundreds of other kidmin and uthmin leaders just got a new Purpose statement.
"We are called to unleash single minded, Christ centered, Biblcally anchored world changers." Craig Groeschel.
The dynamic workshops I attended today will enable me to better minister and meet the needs of children who have developmental or behavioral differences. The classes that I attended are:
These ladies were incredible!
Imagine how we can use IPads to minster to tweens and teens with special needs, to provide special areas for children who need a sensory "time out" or how to find volunteers who want to work with kids with special needs (okay, once you have them then what?). Over the next several days, I will be sharing what I have learned in those workshops and to encourage you in your special needs ministry.
This is where I am blogging from. Can you say luxury suite. #OC12
If we look back at our spiritual lives we can all see that there were certain times in our lives where things changed for us. Times when our spiritual maturity took a significant step forward. This session was about identifying those times. Led by Taka Iguchi, this session did a great job of laying out the things that happen to all of that at least have the potential to lead to spiritual growth.
As a Children's Pastor I listened to this talk with two thoughts in mind

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I recently found a brand that has a very similar name, almost the same as my company and provides the same goods as mine. I have already trademarked my company name and this other brand is NOT trademarked. what actions can i take?
In order to protect the value of your trademark, you should hire a lawyer and send a letter demanding that the other company stop using the similar mark because it is confusing. There are many factors consider when evaluating the potential for confusion. For example, if the other company started using their mark first (before your use started), regardless of registration, that company might have some common-law trademark rights in the name.
This comment is NOT LEGAL ADVICE and is posted for informational purposes only. I am not your attorney; you are not my client. Both you and any other person reading this comment SHOULD NOT RELY UPON this comment. Regardless of the information provided in this comment, any reader of this comment should CONSULT AN ATTORNEY to get the legal advice you are seeking.Ask a similar question
Whoa, don't pull the trigger on that CDL until you do your homework and know you, not the recipient, owns the mark. Registration is not always equal to ownership except in certain foreign countries.
You have an options that you can take which include sending a cease-and-desist letter to the other company and filing a lawsuit against the other company for trademark infringement.
What you should do is meet with a trademark attorney and discuss your situation in private with the attorney. The attorney will be able to give you an idea as to whether the courts would find a likelihood of confusion between the two marks. In addition, the attorney will be able to do the research to determine who used its mark first and therefore has priority to use.
Registering a trademark with the USPTO (which is what I am assuming you mean by 'trademarked') only prevents others from adopting marks within the U.S that present a likelihood of confusion after registration of the mark. Companies already using a mark that presents a likelihood of confusion may continue to use their marks in the geographical areas where the companies were using the mark prior to registration.
Answering of your question is merely general advice and does not constitute legal advice. None of the statements or implications made by this answer creates an attorney-client relationship with the attorney answering the question. The statements made in this answer are not to be solely relied upon and you should meet with a competent attorney to discuss any concerns you may have regarding this answer.Ask a similar question
Asker, don't confuse registration with ownership. In the US they are not the same, ownership and the winning position may rest with the first to use in the ordinary course of commerce. Lots of registrations have been cancelled by businesses that received an ill-advised CDL and turned the tables on the sender. Don't you be one of them.
You can have an attorney send a cease and desist letter.
But, not until you know you have the upper hand. If you are second user, that CDL will bite you in the rear.
With your other posting, five very good answers.
Good luck.
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advice" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. I am only licensed in California. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.Ask a similar question
Before jumping to a cease and desist letter, you may want to look into whether the other company has prior rights in the brand. An attorney can help you with this analysis.Ask a similar question
Yes, indeed. That's the first step. Another one is playing devil's advocate and considering how the other company will react. Is there a third party mark available for purchase that predates you and is the other company rich enough to buy it and turn the tables. Had NIKE cleverly do that to me once. It is a lesson not easily forgotten.
I agree with attorney Weiner. If the other company was using the mark prior to your own use of the mark (or before you filed a Sec. 1(b), intent-to-use application for the mark), they, not
you, may have superior rights, even if you have registered the mark and they haven't.
Also, if there is a 3rd party prior mark or use, the recipient may buy it and turn the tables on you. If you don't see a trademark lawyer for a clearance check, you could get blindsided and lose.
There is only one action you can prudently take. See a trademark litigation attorney immediately. Do not try to play amateur lawyer or you may be headed for an expensive lesson in trademark litigation strategy.
I am not your lawyer and you are not my client. Free advice here is without recourse and any reliance thereupon is at your sole risk. This is done without compensation as a free public service.

Spring has finally arrived on this little green Island and it couldn't have come a moment too soon. The winter was long and dark, in more ways than one and I thought I might never see the sun again (yes I know its quite dramatic but trust me it was a harsh one!). Spring has blossomed and with it some new bunny characters have been brought to life in the studio. Originally I wanted to update my Super bunny pattern as I wasn't 100% happy with it so I added a few different colour combination and before I knew I had 4 little friends taking shape! I really like these guys as they seem to have unique personalities of their own & they look like they are up to some mischief, which I'm all for ! I made a quick little amateur video with them, which I hope you will enjoy !

One of the best experiences in the world is perhaps to build and design your own home. Exciting yet overwhelming, you know that there are many things to consider in ensuring the entire process can result a dream home you envision. Here are some tips to keep you going on. Before you draw a single line, discover the inspiration from everywhere, consult an architect, and or acquire fun and smart new software application programs to help you apprehend the home of your dreams. Do not go directly to the floor plans, but focus to identify your desires.
The design elements are about what you need and want in the floor plan. To keep these rudiments in mind, you can make a list of five design elements that your new home must have and five design elements you would like to include in your new home if your budget make it possible. Keep the lists readily available every time you evaluate home plans or meet with your architect or designer.
This is necessary because you can see the detail more expansively within the photo. Employ to do the survey with topography and flood elevation is mandatory before you can start in most cases. Every property is dissimilar, all come with characteristics that must be well thought-out and improved. To get the inspiration, visit your most desired neighborhoods in spite of the price value or practicality, you can think about it later because you are in the search of the thing that inspires you. Otherwise, go to open houses to search for homes for sale in the neighborhoods you feel affection for, and make weekend open houses a regular day trip for the period of this phase. If there is anything that inspires you, do not forget to make note. Another simple way is by take photographs of every building angle that you fond of, inside and out.
A great way to get the idea due to build and design your own home is by trying to create a narrative based on the story of your lives or anything that inspire you. This can be your opportunity to create your our own narrative based on the uncovered facts. A home has to be inviting and encourage us to be more create and imaginative. Furthermore, think your home as a world map. The idea of creating a "journey" to tell from the living room to the bedroom or the passage of time from the door frame, for example, can give more characteristic to the house. Well, it is actually, a home with characteristic.

The ludicrous goal-laden affairs that went before provided dazzling entertainment but their swashbuckling style would surely only take them as far as more wily opponents whose familiarity and form in this competition would blunt their sword.
How wrong we were. After all, this was the best Italy could throw at them; having seen off European champions Inter at the group stage, Lombardy rivals AC Milan represented a stern threat with all the respect afforded from their status as Serie A leaders allied to a rich history which has yielded seven European Cups.
No matter. Milan resorted to antagonistic tactics as they ran out of creative ideas against a Tottenham side that played with a composure and maturity to suggest they had been playing at this level for years.
This was the quintessential European away performance that English clubs have spent years perfecting - gain an early foothold in the match by retaining possession, break up the home team's rhythm which, in turn, will stifle the home crowd, defend with resilience and nick a goal on the break.
To carry out such a gameplan bereft of so many first-team players and with both forwards needing to be patched up to play - Peter Crouch with an injection in his back and Rafael van der Vaart could only last an hour due to a calf problem - speaks volumes not only of the squad depth Spurs have but of Harry Redknapp's ability to galvanise those at his disposal.
He must be the best motivator since Attila The Hun but also tactically Spurs were spot on. Their 4-4-2 formation with full-backs pushing on exploited the lack of natural width in Milan's 4-3-1-2 system and consequently Spurs were a threat from wide areas, particularly in the form of Aaron Lennon.
Vedran Corluka and Benoit Assou-Ekotto were encouraged to get forward and from those advanced positions they swung over a series of crosses for Crouch to fight for as Milan's rearguard looked increasingly unsettled.
They compressed the space and dictated the tempo of proceedings in the manner of polished European performers. Sandro and Wilson Palacios bossed the midfield battle and the home side were made to look ordinary by comparison.
Gennaro Gattuso's increasing lunacy stemmed from his inability to keep up, while this match may well signal the end of Clarence Seedorf's Milan career - he was woefully unable to keep up, drawing much ire from the home fans and subsequently withdrawn at half-time. The 34-year-old's contract expires in the summer and he was not the only member of the Rossoneri to appear as though his time was up on a night when Spurs secured a result that will both enter club folklore and resonate through Europe.
"It was a great night and a fantastic performance," said Redknapp. "We set out how we wanted to play and the players responded and couldn't have given it more.
"They didn't play because we didn't let them play. We pressed them - what I said to the players before the game is that we play in the English Premier League, which is a faster game with higher intensity than the Italian league, and we have to play the way we play in England.
"If we thought we were playing Champions League football so we would have to stroll around and play at a different pace, it wouldn't suit us - we had to play at our pace and not let them have space to play and we did that."
Spurs began the game brightly, unfazed by their 35-minute mauling by Inter on the same ground four months ago, and established a degree of control they rarely looked like relinquishing.
Van der Vaart went close either side of half-time, first with a long-range effort and then with a delicious chipped effort which dropped just wide.
Alexandre Pato replaced Seedorf and Milan had some renewed impetus with Heurelho Gomes twice required to save brilliantly from Mario Yepes but their agitation in front of goal began to tell.
Mathieu Flamini had earlier fouled Van der Vaart with a wholly unpleasant tackle before launching two-footed into Corluka, who was lucky not to suffer serious injury. "I'd like UEFA to have a look at that tackle," said Redknapp. "It was a leg-breaking tackle. How he doesn't get a red card, I don't know."
Surely they will, after UEFA today opened a disciplinary investigation into Gattuso's conduct.
Milan could feel their Champions League dream slipping away from them and when Lennon raced clear, skipped past Yepes and squared it to Crouch to sidefoot home in the 80th minute, their fears were realised.
Gattuso, a 33-year-old veteran of 109 matches in UEFA competition, was reduced to resembling a demented pirate who had lost his loot, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had a late goal ruled out for a push on Michael Dawson, endured one of those evenings when the hype surrounding him feels totally unjustified.
The Swedish striker may have 17 goals in 27 games this season but he has scored just three in 22 Champions League knockout matches.
By the end, the Milan supporters couldn't even rouse themselves to try to drown out UEFA's public address system message to Tottenham supporters, such was their deflation.
Barring a calamity at White Hart Lane, Spurs' progression to greater challenges in the last eight appears highly probable. They may not yet be convincing candidates to lift the trophy but no one can accuse them of naivety now.Reuse content

A recent article pointed out that the academic library is no more. It has passed on. Ceased to be. Libraries have expired. Bereft of life, they rest in peace. Their metabolic processes are now history, kicked the bucket, shuffled off their mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible. THIS IS AN EX-CAREER!
So sad. But we as librarians should have seen this coming. History tried to tell us this was the way, but somewhat ironically for those that chronicle history, we did not not listen. Hell, history even tried to halt these psychos all together by stopping their immortality, but librarians did not see until it was too late.
Hit the jump to see the one's who doomed us all.
1. Ptolemy (I, 323–283 BC; II, 283–246 BC)
With the creation of the Library of Alexandria, this guy (or his son) stole knowledge from the scholars and merchants of the time and decided all on his own to place it in one of the greatest depositories of knowledge of all time. The notion of collecting information has never really been a new concept, but this grand, government-sponsored project spelled the beginning of the end for the modern library.
2. Johannes Gutenberg (1398-1468)
With the creation of his "moveable type," Gutenberg (no relation) took the power of the written word away from the rich and the clergy and put it in dirty, lower-class hands of the poor. This mass production of books created cheaper and more quickly-made reading materials, spreading information faster than ever before. Somebody should have kindled a fire underneath him.
3. Charles Cutter (1837-1903)
Oh, here's a rich one. Charlie Cut here decided that the library was too haphazard a place and started just lumping things together into a formula that would be used to form the Library of Congress cataloging system. Then, he took over a little public library and, like the Zach Morris of his day, he started in on silly schemes such as creating early bookmobiles, theorizing inter-library loan systems, and letting the public roam free in the stacks. He even wrote a little article where he predicted the OPAC. If he had had his way, he would have a "Max" in every lobby, too.
4. Melvil Dewey (1851-1931)
From the ashes of a goofy name comes Melvil Dewey, or "The Dew" as the girls called him. This micromanaging ball of fun formed not only a more simple way to subjugate knowledge to human control but the idea of an association of information professionals that could standardize information management procedures. Oh, he didn't do all that on his own, Charlie Cut up there helped, but he's the one with his name on the system.
5. S. R. Ranganathan (1892-1972)
This high-horse mounted dude formed the Five Laws of librarianship and proposed collecting library materials into environments designed to make information more accessible. This brainwashing of his colleagues spawned the "user friendly" era of thought throughout librarian brain-sponges everywhere. "Every book, its reader" indeed.
6. Alan Turning (1912-1954)
Are there more well known names in computer science? Maybe. But this is the guy that theorized that machines could organize and collect information on massive levels, even do so by themselves, allowing for more complex information management through complex machines. This is the architect of computer science, the Duke of Databases, the King of Kilobytes. Turning is the reason our overlords might like us one day, then kill us because they cannot find their Father.
7. Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
Are there more well known names in computer science? No. Just N-O. Co-founder of Apple computers and the guy that opened up the world to the idea that not only could machines be used in the patron's homes to access and create information, but that it could be done in a simple and user friendly environment on cheap machines. Jobs is what would happen if Cutter took Ranganathan and Turning and played "Will it Blend?" with their mind sponges.
There they are, seven jackasses that taught humanity that they could store all their knowledge in an automated environment that was well organized and accessible to all. Oh, there are more jackasses of information out there being celebrated and stuff, but these bastards of bookishness should have been stopped before they got going. Then I would not have to think about getting an IT degree along with this MLIS.

Hi, everyone. I posted my original lyrics before: And below are the slightly revised lyrics: They say that when you can't sleep at night it's because you're on someone else's mind. This was the one myth I wanted to believe when awake at night and far from sleep. This is my last dream of you. I'm tired of all my waking nights and the burn of my closing eyes. This is my last dream of you. I people watched with my eyes closed. If you felt my stare, I didn't mean to encroach upon your figment-ary figure stating there alone. I just wanted some way to bring you home. This is my last dream of you. I'm tired of all my waking nights and the burn of my closing eyes. This is my last dream of you. I know the things I tell myself are almost never true, but This is my last dream of you. I'm tired of all my waking nights and the burn of my closing eyes. This is my last dream of you. I just wanted to get new eyes on this rewrite. Better? Worse? Any suggestions for improvement
waywardyouth replied to neptune's topic in Lyrics CritiqueHi neptune. The first thing I'd like to say is that the title of this song pulled me to critique it. You found something general enough so that it could mean so many different things. From the jump, this is giving "Take It On The Run" vibes. I think the success of this song is due to its unconventional perspective. There are rumors of the speaker's lover cheating and rather than confront the speaker, the girl decides to run off. The speaker comes to the conclusion that he's better off. For this song, I actually think it would be best to have the speaker be the one to see her boyfriend with another girl and have them both confront each other. It might make things more interesting to have this be a duet. Then the first verse could start off making reference to the both of them coming together after the break, both knowing that they won't get back together. Verse 1 and Verse 3 have the most evocative imagery because they are so specific. I think this song could benefit from more of this because too much of it is too general. I don't think the bridge is necessary. It's not transformative enough yet to have a deserving place in this song, so I would cut it. The final note I have is that I would tighten up the chorus. I have a suggestion below: You told me you wanted a little time apart. I trusted your mind, I trusted your heart. It's been long enough, but you're still not back. What had I ever done to deserve a thing like that? Thanks for posting!
waywardyouth replied to Chicken picker's topic in Lyrics CritiqueHi Chicken picker, I'll to offer as much constructive critique as I can. I'm really only a beginner myself. The first thing I noticed is your constant pronoun change, which brings down your song. The standout moments are in the last line of Verse 1 and the first few lines of Verse 2. With the last line of the first verse, I understand that you're trying to create drama, but you lose none of the impact and gain a lot more clarity by changing the line to "That left one woman and 'I' was still in bed." The second verse could be changed to "Now I am the household prima donna/ I don't share my crown/ And since I'm prone to psychodrama…" The use of the pronouns he and him didn't immediately stand out to me in Verses 1 and 3, but as I read on to the chorus, it would be best to change these to you/your. I notice that you did this consistently throughout the rest of the song. Moving on, another point of contention is that I cannot tell what song form you're going for. i think it may be beneficial to cut some of these verses up and pair together only your best lines. For example, I would cut the second verse and combine Verses 1 and 3. Verse 2 offers too much information that we can already infer from the Verse 3. The speaker flying out of bed tells the reader that she's standing up to her husband's actions. I would also change the first line of what is currently your third verse to "I sat upright as he walked out the door". As for the last two lines of that same verse, I would change it to "And I grabbed his jacket as he got into his car,/let him know he won't be going too far." I would suggest a change to the chorus as well. "I can't be your mama when we've got a family./Not when being your wife is what you chose for me." Something along those lines. Verses 4 to 7 don't offer a lot of variety and the rhymes seem a little forced. So I would try to come up with something more specific. I have a suggestion for a verse below: It's become such a drain being someone so needed. You're causing me pain, but you think I'm conceited. Overall, I think you've got a good idea here with some nice highlights. I like the visual of a wife getting out of bed to stop her husband from running off. I think you could try to bring this out more by having the husband tell the wife "I'm running late" or something like that which would lead her to go off on another tangent or verse. There's also a lot of humor in this, which is not really my specialty. The above suggestions don't really do much to bring that out, but if you keep editing you could end up with something that strikes a nice balance of being funny and sad. The last thing I would suggest would be to be more specific. It will only add to the uniqueness of the song. Thanks for posting this and good luck!
Hi thank you for your thoughts on this, especially your critique on the second verse. I'll work to improve that. And I'm flattered by your praise wrt the chorus-tag, as I'll refer to it now.
Hey, I've been looking into this, and I think I'll try your suggestion in my next rewrite. Thanks for taking the time to comment and I'm really glad to know that you were struck by the title and think that others will be, too.
It's a little hard to say when I'll be able to gain these skills but I've done a little research and once I can work out everything financially, I'll take lessons. Until then, I'll keep writing. I actually don't have a melody in mind at all. In fact, I have very little knowledge in music theory/composition (I plan to fix that ASAP) and I don't know how to create a melody a cappella. I just free wrote the first verse and counted the syllables to make sure that the second verse closely matched the corresponding lines. Hey, I just want to say that your thoughts have been indispensable and I will refer back to your notes once I have a chance to edit this song. I have to say thank you again.
Hi, thank you for your thoughts on the second verse. This is going to sound strange, but I hadn't thought of the lyric being out of context. But really, this is such a great point.
Thank you. I've got some work ahead of me.
Hi! Thanks for your response. I'm operating only as a lyricist right now, though I see myself gaining these skills soon. As for the last line of verse one, I think that I am trying to say that the relationship between the speaker and the person to whom they are speaking is pretty much non existent. I can agree that wisps is an awkward word here especially since it marks the end of the verse. I like your suggestion, and I think that in the coming days I'll try to come up with something in the same vein. Thanks for your advice on the chorus. I didn't realize it was contradictory, but of course I know what I meant by including it the way I did. Looks like I'll have to brush up on the first verse. Sorry I didn't make it clear which three lines I was talking about. I meant lines 3-5 in the second verse. Your thoughts on the bridge are very reassuring.
Hi everyone! This is the first song I'm posting for review here and I'm very excited. I feel like I'm almost done with this song and before I move on to something else I'd just like to get some fresh eyes on it as it is new. My Last Dream of You They say that when you can't sleep at night it's because you're on someone else's mind. But there can't be much truth in this. Our relationship was never more than dancing sunlight wisps. This is my last dream of you. I'm tired of all my waking nights and the burn of my closing eyes. This is my last dream of you. I haven't seen you in many years. How is the vision of your face still so clear? We were close where we used to be. I can feel your touch at night when I sleep but you never touched me. This is my last dream of you. I'm tired of all my waking nights and the burn of my closing eyes. This is my last dream of you. I know the things I tell myself are almost never true, but This is my last dream of you. I'm tired of all my waking nights and the burn of my closing eyes. This is my last dream of you. Here are some initial questions I have: Does the end of V1: 'dancing sunlight wisps' seem too flowery? Is the chorus fresh and easily understandable? Does V2 seem like a natural progression from V1? This was the most challenging part. Do lines three through five make sense? Do I need to add more to the bridge or is it complete on it's own? Thank you so much!
I have absolutely no problem with you applying my suggestions! Really, I'm just so happy that you've found something useful in my critique. And kind words come easily with such great work!

Hello Rik! I'd like to start by saying that I think that this song has a lot of promise and commend your use of such a unique point of view. There are a few grammatical issues that I won't get into as I'm sure that upon closer inspection become noticeable. And there are times where you could shape up your rhymes on a second rewrite. For now, I'll go from top to bottom and offer my opinion on some possible changes you could make. Starting with the title, I think that it feels a little impersonal and suggest a change to the effect of "For a Little Boy or a Girl." The last line of the intro is a good lead in to the chorus, but at the same time, it feels a little too general. I think it might help to expound upon missing this child. I say this because the act is interesting as the speaker has never met this child, but nonetheless it is an understandable emotion to feel. Might you consider something like this after the first line of the intro: 'It may be strange to say, but it's true'? Moving on to the chorus, I'm drawn to some key lines and offer this: 'I see your smile when I wake/ 'cause your smile is mine.' 'Even though [you're] not here/ in dreams you own my mind.' Lalalala The story in the first verse is lovely and helps the audience to understand the relationship that exists between the three people in the situation: the Mother, the Father, and the Child. The ending line shows that whatever feelings the father has towards the mother, he deeply cherishes what has come from that bond aka the little boy or girl. But i do take issue with how this verse is formed; it is quite structureless. Verse 2 has more of a definite structure than does the previous verse, which is good because it adhere's to popular song convention and the listener (or reader in my case) can appreciate the rhyme scheme. There are, however, some changes that I would make. 'Sometimes I wake up from dreams/ hearing your laughs and cry/ when it sinks in [that] [you're] not really here/ I die a little inside.' The following lines of the verse are another great lead in to the chorus. As far as the bridge is concerned, forgive me, but I'm not sure that it adds anything new to the story you are currently telling. I know that you said that this would have an acoustic vibe and this part might focus more on the instrumental. But the bridge, which tends to introduce something new lyrically doesn't really do that for me. So ends a very detailed critique. I hope I didn't bore (or offend) you with my suggestions. How ever you choose to edit this song I know that this has the potential to be really great!

waywardyouth posted a topic in Introduce YourselfHi! I'm mid-level writer with a strong urge (for now) to make progress in my songwriting and help others in any way that I can. I've had it in my head to start writing songs since I was 15 and in recent years I've gained a little knowledge. I hope that I may, at long last, be able to write songs that I can be proud of (an end goal I'm sure most of us have). I have a background in writing and I know just how isolating it can sometimes be. So I hope that I can offer friendship or, at the very least, a critical eye to those that need it!

[media-credit name="Peyton Guan" align="aligncenter" width="600″]
It's the place where fairy tale meets reality, where well-loved literary characters — Tomas, Tereza, Sabina, Franz, and a dog named Karenin in Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" — come to life as you step foot in the city.
At the heartland of Czech Republic, Prague, the obvious quaintness of surroundings invites you to experience an unforgettable one-day itinerary. There are many cultural attractions to see and to immerse yourself, with gothic and renaissance scenery.
Spring and Fall are the best times to travel, yet the former is more tolerable and encapsulates my definition of 'beauty,' with flowers in effloresce.
Café Colore
If your hotel is just around the Old Town, you can't miss Café Colore along Jungmannova Street. It's one of the best spots to eat breakfast. It opens at 8 a.m. and serves great food at reasonable prices compared to other tourist spots cafés.
The relaxing Parisian and Venetian-inspired ambience and excellent customer service of the smiling staff is warm and inviting. It feels wonderful to sip a hot cup of coffee and munch tasty cinnamon twist and butter patties, or indulge in a heavy meal of spaghetti carbonara. The latter, by the way, is a must-try.
Palackeho 740/1, Prague, Czech Republic +420 222 518 816
Morning Activity
Old Town Square
Stroll and shop at the Old Town Square and if you can, wake up early and stroll along the streets and climb the famous Astronomical Clock Tower to see the top view of the city before breakfast.
After breakfast, you can check out the shops for some luxury brands or open market stalls along the way, where they sell different kinds of items – from clothing to bags, handcrafted art and souvenir and many more. The Charles Bridge and its museums are must-see sites. Just walk to the roundabout by Karluv and enjoy the sights.
School Restaurant and Lounge
To keep you energized for the long walks and adventure for this one-day itinerary, you don't have to go beyond the Charles Bridge for lunch. School Restaurant and Lounge is just a few metres away. Go back and head east on Karluv most toward Křižovnická, turn right onto Smetanovo nábřeží, and you'll find it on your left side.
It's a non-smoking restaurant on the riverside with good food, great service and ambience. The virgin mojitos, tomato and mussel soup are a must-try.
Smetanovo nábřeží 205/22, 110 00 Praha 1
Afternoon Activity
TRAP Prague
TRAP Prague at Senovazna 8 is a real-life escape game you can play with your friends. It's best to tag along two to three friends to make this adventure more fun and exciting. It'll take you more than 30 minutes if you walk from Café Colore, which means you have to go back via Karlova and Centena, or take a public transit to get there in about seven to eight minutes.
The TRAP adventure gives you clues and brainteasers to crack the puzzles when you play inside the room. If you still have time for the rest of the afternoon, you can have a Prague underground tour at Male Namesti to see the hidden treasures and get a taste of medieval history underneath the city.
Dinner and Evening Activity
Prague Castle
Evening is the best time to visit the Prague Castle after the hustle and bustle of the crowd in the Old Town. The castle is rich with history and legends to marvel. You may have dinner at Restaurace Nostalgie for authentic native Czech cuisine before heading the streets for late night beer drinking at the Repete Bar, which is open until 3 a.m. for tourists, locals and expats.

Arsenal v Man Utd betting preview: How this one is won in the second half
History suggests it's going to be a nervy opener but Arsenal will come out on top after the sides tuck into their oranges. Sorry Dave.
We've crunched the numbers ahead of Man United's trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal tonight (BT Sport 1, 7.45pm) and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better for the Champions.
United dropped more points in the league on Sunday and Arsenal, despite challenging for the league, are coming off the back of a 5-1 hammering by Liverpool. Neither side will want to slip any further behind in their respective hunt for silverware/Champions League spot, and the trends suggest it will be tighter than a pair of skinny jeans on Big Sam Allardyce.
- Arsenal's last five league games at home have been 0-0 at the break (v Crystal Palace, Cardiff, Fulham, Chelsea and Everton)
- They have gone on to win three of these games and draw two
So as an Arsenal fan, going in 0-0 at the break isn't a complete disaster. Admittedly you've paid over the odds for your ticket and are about to indulge in the most expensive steak pie around, however the form points to a winning 45 minutes after the players have tucked into their oranges.
Man United have been just as goal-shy in the opening half on the road this season, however they have very mixed fortunes when the players return from their half-time team-talk.
- United have failed to score before the break in 50 per cent of their league games away from home this season (6/12)
- They have lost 67 per cent of those games in which they have failed to score in the first half (L4, W2)
The stats are pointing to a stalemate at the break and with Arsenal coming off the back of going 4-0 down in 20 minutes and United under Moyes being, well, United under Moyes, it should be a cagey opener. That makes the 0-0 half-time draw at 2/1 look particularly promising.
- 9 of the last 20 PL meetings between Arsenal and Man United have been 0-0 at the break
- Of those 9 games, four of them have been at Arsenal – The Gunners have won two and drawn two
Unfortunately for David Moyes, history suggests it is set to get a touch worse before it gets any better. A stinging thought considering just how bad it is currently. In the last ten years United have never won a league game at Arsenal when it has been scoreless at the break and the HT/FT bet of Draw/Arsenal is a 9/2 shot.
For the more adventurous punter who is eyeing up a juicy payout before Valentines Day (or a Friday night pub session) there are a few correct scores that might be worth a nibble. The HT/FT correct score of 0-0 HT and 1-0 to Arsenal at FT is a 12/1 shot while 0-0 at HT and 2-0 to the Gunners at FT is available at 25/1.

Palm said yesterday that it had misrepresented the color capabilities of its m130 hand-held computer, which was put on the market in March. At the time, Palm said the computer's screen was capable of displaying 65,536 color combinations. In reality, it displays 58,621 such combinations, an 11 percent difference. The company said it realized the error when participants on a Palm enthusiast Web site started questioning the company's initial claim. The company issued an apology yesterday on its Web site, and said it planned to modify its marketing materials, but the company said it was not intending to offer refunds on the m130. Palm's admission of the discrepancy was first reported in Wired News, an online publication that focuses on technology news.

text: From what I can make out all tracks on this double album are otherwise unavailable except one by Ion. Brendan Pollard kicks this latest volume off with 'The Neon Chamber'. With Brendan sequences are never far away and a lovely skipping bass one propels the track forwards within the first few seconds. The most gorgeous of tron melodies floats over the top providing a little softness. We then get a pastiche of one mid seventies Tangerine Dream sound after another but also with some of his own inventiveness.

ok, so a few new options, the "RPG" aspect starts to show up. you choose the difficulty of the current game and generation is affected.
for easy, no hidden / random monsters at all, just visible ones that wont move so you can totally avoid, simplistic dungeon design layouts.
for normal, hidden / random monsters enabled, and a chance at a bit more normal monsters generated extra, dungeon design layouts is more extravagant than easy.
for hard, well, yeah, more monsters (hidden and visible) and the dungeon design layout has more to it.
by the time you get to level 3 - 5 on easy, you will start to see level 1 layouts if you had been playing on normal, and the same for the normal to hard conversion. you just start off on a more elaborate dungeon design in accordance to the difficulty.
Also, you can name your char, it saves to a folder, this allows for choosing games and loading them.
i think that the dungeon gen is good for now, going to focus on the actual tile map engine now. i have one and it is ok, but it is still primitive. once i get it working well a release will happen.

GBP/USD analysis of the week (4h candlesticks)
A strong bearish movement occured, breaking the support at 1.66 and this gave us a sell signal. Besides, the price is back into its former bearish channel (purple lines). We will advise to trade only short positions as far as the parity is moving into its channel. If a break out occur, we will be neutral.

Fact Sheet: The Tower Gardens
Presenter: Costa Georgiadis, 19/04/2014
SERIES 25 Episode 05
Costa discovers a unique city garden
"Surrounded by beautiful, lush foliage, you'd be forgiven for thinking that I was in the heart of the forest," says Costa, "but these beautiful gardens are actually associated with a twenty-storey residential tower in the heart of Sydney's Darling Point. With views of Sydney Harbour, President Tower has one of the most creative, beautiful and botanically rich gardens I've come across - and it all starts out on the street. But the street plantings only hint at the garden which surrounds the building and tops the underground carpark."
John Pickles is a long-term resident of the Tower, Chairman of the Body Corporate and the driving force behind the gardens. He shows Costa one of the most striking plants at the entrance - a mature ponytail plant. "It's probably over 60 years old now, so it was 50 when we put it in. (Ponytail Palm, Beaucarnea recurvata)."
But this is only the start of the garden. "This is segment one of nine segments," says John. "We think of them as nine separate gardens." Stepping stones lead from one part of the garden to the next. "The idea is to lead people around, into the other segments. This is an eating area," John says, gesturing at a clearing that features a tables and benches, with deep vegie garden beds nearby. "We have these railway sleepers that we've chopped up and turned into raised vegetable beds and there's really good quality soil there. We need good quality soil for that. But all the segments from the top of the garage are built on builders' rubble - there's only about half a metre of building media built from rubble and sand."
John leads Costa onto a timber decking path surrounded by orchids hanging from the walls. "We refer to this as the 'Orchid Garden'." He points out a spider orchid in flower. "They don't come any prettier than that (Spider Orchid, Brassia cv.)"
The orchids give way to an area right next to the walls of the tower's ground floor. "So here we come into the Alcantarea which of course is our prize piece at the moment. (Imperial Bromeliad, Alcantarea imperialis 'Rubra'). They put on about a centimetre, centimetre and a half of growth each day and will flower for up to four months."
John leads the way to 'segment nine' on the hot side of the building. "Immediately I can feel the heat here," says Costa. "It's a totally different temperature."
"A different microclimate completely to the other side of the building," agrees John, "and that's the really important thing we had to learn in constructing the garden."
A very successful planting of succulents and cacti are the feature of the hot zone. "The thrill is when you see some plants that actually do something that I personally have never seen before - these sort of things like the Agaves (El Miradores Gold, Agave desmettiana 'Variegata') flowering and they throw up so many beautiful pups and we get so many pups, we can actually give them away to people," says John.
Gardener Ian McMaugh has been instrumental in helping John to achieve his dream domain. "He came to do some work here, just ad hoc," says John. "There was another gardener at that stage. We realised that we wanted to build something that matched in the grounds what we had in the Tower. He was the first man to sort of think, look, you could have a mini botanical gardens here."
Ian explains his vision. "I've pretty much gone for plants from a similar latitude to Sydney, so most of the plants are from the southern hemisphere. When people think of Heliconias, they think of northern Queensland, but there are many that will actually grow in Canberra and Sydney. This one's probably my favourite. It's called subulata (Heliconia subulata) and the collector who discovered it originally found it in the snow line in Peru!"
In the ten years of developing the gardens, John and Ian say they've had plant deaths, garden failures and - initially - theft. "Stolen used to be the big one," says John. "Now, of course, we have to really think through, segment by segment, of what we could do to make it - not more distinctive, but just to lift the whole standard."
"I can't wait to see what they'll come up with next!" says Costa.

EU applications
The GTS Foundation is trying hard to get funded by EU Horizon 2020 through the FET OPEN calls, Future and Emerging Technologies, Open to any novel and plausible technology off the roadmap. Four proposals have been submitted: September 2015, acronym GTS, rejected; May 2016, acronym GTSX, rejected; and January 2017, two parallel proposals, due to the complex interdisciplinarity, acronyms MAG and NET; MAG and NET are still under evaluation.
Our focus on FET OPEN depends on the fact that no other research funding programme is so wide open to "disruptive but plausible concepts". The "DNA" of GTS is precisely that.
The proposal named MAG (click to open proposal) contains advanced electric, MAGnetic and operational experiments, laboratory test of a demonstrator, and a full-scale mock-up cabin. The research will be performed by the Department of Energy Technology in Aalborg University, Denmark, together with the Faculty of Engineering at Mondragon University in the Basque province, Spain. Both institutes develop excellent research in groundbreaking electromagnetic applications. Bjerking Engineering Company in Uppsala/Stockholm and The Centre for ECO2Vehicle Design at Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, Stockholm, both Sweden, will design and construct the full scale guideways, pillars, pylons and cabins; Both institutes have advanced know-how for this kind of research and applications together with Yovinn, Gothenburg and AyCrete, Stockholm as subcontractors.
The proposal named NET (click to open proposal) will research all logistics, sustainable, environmental, financial and social aspects of the foundational GTS NETworks. Particularly the effects of GTS will be studied in two site cases in Uppsala and London, see more below.
Environmental analyses will be performed by BOnDS cooperative, Breda, Netherlands; BOnDS have a broad experience in transport and environmental research in local and regional planning.
Logistics of GTS will be analysed by the Centre for Operational Research and Logistics (CORL) at University of Portsmouth, UK, and by Logistikcentrum, Gothenburg, Sweden. They will both apply their analyses at the site cases in London and Uppsala. Logistikcentrum will also execute comprehensive Cost Benefit Analyses (CBA) by Transek, and CORL will develop understanding of the impact of GTS in the greater London area by Transport Systems Catapult (TSC).
The proposals are independent of each other. They can be performed both or only one by EU support; In the latter case support for the rejected proposal will be applied from other sources.
Uppsala - Ultuna Link - site case
Uppsala, with more than 200.000 inhabitants, is the northern node in the Uppsala – Stockholm labour market and business region. Uppsala has two universities and thriving trade and industry, e.g. prominent research and business in areas such as life sciences and energy physics. The population, commuting and business trips in the Uppsala-Arlanda-Stockholm corridor are growing rapidly. So is the city of Uppsala.
The projected population growth for Uppsala is an increase up to 135 000 new inhabitants and 70 000 new jobs by 2050. This means that by 2050 the city must serve a population of 340 000 inhabitants.
In 2016 the city council of Uppsala adopted a new comprehensive plan for city development until the 2050:ies. The plan provides a framework that can meet the projected growth in a sustainable manner.
Four complementary urban centres are to be interconnected with each other and the inner city with fast and frequent public transportation links with high capacity (see figure).
London Docklands - Canary Wharf - case
Although existing road network and public transport systems (such as bus and metro/DLR) exist, the connections between the two sides of the Thames (squares 2, 3 and 4 in Figure), especially for non-motorised mode, are poor, and connectivity between DLR and traditional metro lines is below the average in London. This can be observed looking into the Public Transport Accessibility (PTA) score, which is a measure of the accessibility of a point to the public transport network, taking into account walk access time and service availability. The boroughs covered by the case study present an average value of 3.6 (with certain census wards below 3.0) compared to a London average of 4.0 and surrounding areas with PTA score above 5.0. Recently this gap of accessibility has been highlighted by a report identifying the need for new river crossings in East London. After a consultation period with almost 7,500 responses received, the analysis undertaken has shown that over 90 percent of respondents expressed support for new crossings and the majority of feedback supported the introduction of new fixed link crossings. The proposed GTS line then will complement the planned pedestrian and cycle crossing linking Rotherhithe to Canary Wharf and the greener Silvertown tunnel (see bottom left and right indicators in the figure).
This site presents an interesting configuration since it has a similar catchment area and expected growth rate of the Uppsala site in terms of population/jobs, but since it is located within a bigger city like London, different dynamics and needs will be identified and modelled, including the higher level of multimodality.
