Despite being a high-school basketball star and a Hall-of-Famer in the NCAA, Udonis Haslem couldn't get a job. While his game was fabulous in college, he was too heavy and too short to succeed professionally. He gave up on his dream to make the NBA, assuming he simply wasn't talented enough to make it - until he was introduced to coach David Thorpe, and his theory of Royal Jelly. Today, he's a two-time NBA champion.
Royal jelly is the food that turns a normal bee larva into a queen bee. Queen bees are not born - all bees in the same colony have the same DNA. Rather, they are made, as one bee is fed an exclusive diet of royal jelly, and the rest are condemned to drudgery. It's the diet and development of a queen bee that makes it unique, not the genes it was born with. Of course, I don't mean that you should literally douse yourself in the stuff.
Because I read too much sports literature, I stumbled upon David Thorpe's brilliant analogy on royal jelly and the development of athletes:
In most cases, players are largely the same. You've got your extraordinarily gifted players [...] guys like Kobe [Bryant] and Lebron [James], and then you've got players who just aren't very good. But most players are largely the same. And what separates them is the coaching aspect - where you get them to really believe they are able to accomplish whatever they believe in.Thorpe goes on to describe how this theory of royal jelly can be practically applied:
I knew that he had a lot of things that the other NBA teams didn't see. And I had I had to get Udonis to believe that these things were enough to make it.In other words, Thorpe knew Haslem wasn't going to be the best player in the league. But he also know that Haslem had strengths that, if emphasized and strengthened, would make him a valuable player in the NBA. So he focused purely on those.
I think the same thing applies to writers. Like it or not, not all of us have a Lord of the Rings in us. And while trying to build an epic fantasy that breaks down the established borders of fiction might be possible for you one day, it might not be what you're destined to do, even if it has always been your dream. Consider the story of Jim Butcher.
|Jim Butcher wasn't always an urban fantasy writer
But that wasn't what Jim Butcher set out to acheive. The Dresden Files started out as a diversion from Butcher's true passion: swords-and-horses epic fantasy novels. Later in his career, wrote about how the Dresden Files actually came about.
What's the link between these two people, and what were the common keys to their successes? What can we learn from their failures, struggles and successes?
When I set out to become a writer, I spent years writing swords-and-horses fantasy fantasy novels—ands seemed to have little innate talent for it. But I worked at my writing, branching into other areas as experiments, including SF, mystery, and contemporary fantasy. That's how the Dresden Files initially came about—as a happy accident while trying to accomplish something else.
Why they failed: Haslem went undrafted and Butcher was unpublished.
What they changed: They abandoned their original dreams and tried different paths in their professions: Haslem lost weight, refocused his energy on defense and rebounding. Butcher started writing short stories in different genres.
How they succeeded: And finally, each reached the height of their target professions: Haslem is a two-time champion, and will likely win at least one more. Butcher became a best-selling author, and has established one of the most consistent brands in literature.
The difference between failure and success for Haslem and Butcher was how they gave themselves Royal jelly - how they chose to develop It's the key for anybody who feels like they're struggling to find their own path to success.

Since 2016 is almost upon us, it's only fitting that I reflect on the books that I read this past year. I was planning on just rambling about some of my favorite books that I read this past year, but Jamie over at The Perpetual Page-Turner does an annual end of the year book survey that I love! (She also created the lovely graphic above.) Since I didn't have this blog last year, I left out the "blogging/bookish life" section of the survey. Let's get to it.
Number of Re-Reads: 0
Genre You Read The Most From: YA Contemporary
1. Best Book You Read In 2015?
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. This book is INCREDIBLE. Beautifully written, moving, and heartbreaking. A must-read, seriously.
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I adore Maggie's writing and all of the characters are so fleshed out and unique – such an atmospheric book.
2. Book You Were Excited About & Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn't?
Lumberjanes Volume 1 by Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Brooke A. Allen and Maarta Laiho. This volume just came off way too childish to me.
3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read?
Storm Front by Jim Butcher. I didn't really have expectations going into this book, because I had heard mixed reviews, but I ended up loving it. I really enjoyed Harry's narration and the entire tone of the book.
4. Book You "Pushed" The Most People To Read (And They Did)?
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas.
5. Best series you started in 2015? Best Sequel of 2015? Best Series Ender of 2015?
Best series and sequel: The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves and Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater, for reasons mentioned above.
As for best series ender, Locke and Key Volume 6 by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez was phenomenal. It concluded the series so well and there were definitely tears!

Andrew Smith! He's a wonderful writer and his books are so quirky.
7. Best book from a genre you don't typically read/was out of your comfort zone?
Not My Father's Son by Alan Cumming. This book is absolutely heartbreaking, yet so hopeful. I listened to the audiobook that Alan Cumming narrates and it definitely added to the reading experience.
8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year?
Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren. This isn't the type of book that I typically read, but a good friend of mine recommended it to me. After I started, I couldn't put it down. I devoured this book.
9. Book You Read In 2015 That You Are Most Likely To Re-Read Next Year?
Illustrated Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling and Jim Kay. Jim Kay's illustrations are such a beautiful addition to an already beautiful story. I'll probably reread it before the illustrated Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets comes out!
10. Favorite cover of a book you read in 2015?
All of the covers from The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. Stunning.
11. Most memorable character of 2015?

12. Most beautifully written book read in 2015?
The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan. It's unfortunate that we won't see more writing from Marina Keegan, because she really had a way with words.
13. Most Thought-Provoking/ Life-Changing Book of 2015?
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. GO READ IT.
14. Book you can't believe you waited UNTIL 2015 to finally read?

15. Favorite Passage/Quote From A Book You Read In 2015?
"We aren't the things we collect, acquire, read. We are, for as long as we are here, only love. The things we loved. The people we loved. And these, I think these really do live on"
― Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
16.Shortest & Longest Book You Read In 2015?
17. Book That Shocked You The Most
The Wicked + The Divine Vol 2. by Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie, Matt Wilson, and Clayton Cowles. THAT ENDING THOUGH.
18. OTP OF THE YEAR (you will go down with this ship!)
Emily and Frank from Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson. All of their interactions are just so cute!
19. Favorite Non-Romantic Relationship Of The Year
Ryan Dean West and the rugby team from Winger by Andrew Smith. There were so many ups and downs amongst the team, but I was so invested.
20. Favorite Book You Read in 2015 From An Author You've Read Previously
This is getting a little repetitive, but The Raven Cycle.
21. Best Book You Read In 2015 that You Read Based SOLELY On A Recommendation From Somebody Else/Peer Pressure:
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. So I wasn't personally recommended this book, but multiple authors recommended it at NerdCon and they're the reason I picked it up.
22. Newest fictional crush from a book you read in 2015?
Richard Campbell Gansey III from The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. NO SHAME.
23. Best 2015 debut you read?
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. This book had so much hype in 2015 and it deserves every bit of it.
24. Best Worldbuilding/Most Vivid Setting You Read This Year?
George R.R. Martin establishes an incredible and vivid world in A Game of Thrones.
25. Book That Put A Smile On Your Face/Was The Most FUN To Read?
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli was so much FUN. The voice was on point.
26. Book That Made You Cry Or Nearly Cry in 2015?
Locke and Key Volume 6 and Winger.
27. Hidden Gem Of The Year?
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. I usually don't reach for books like this, but I'm so glad that I did. The prose is beautiful and her experiences are vivid.
28. Book That Crushed Your Soul?
I'm looking at you Alan Cumming. STILL NOT OVER IT.
29. Most Unique Book You Read In 2015?
The Locke and Key series as a whole is so unique. There are so many twists and intricate details, UGH. This whole series is just so well thought out.
30. Book That Made You The Most Mad (doesn't necessarily mean you didn't like it)?
Soundless by Richelle Mead. I really don't like this book and a lot of the writing comes off as lazy and cliché. What's probably the most upsetting is that I didn't really want to read it in the first place, but I got it in my Owlcrate.
1. One Book You Didn't Get To In 2015 But Will Be Your Number 1 Priority in 2016?
I'm ashamed to say it, but I didn't read Queen of Shadows this year even though I preordered it and everything. Actually, I got about 20% of the way through it and put it down because of the way a character drastically changed.
2. Book You Are Most Anticipating For 2016 (non-debut)?
Morgan Matson's new book! I don't think there's a title yet…
3. 2016 Debut You Are Most Anticipating?
I have no idea! I usually don't hear that much about books so far in advance, but I'm always open to recommendations.
4. Series Ending/A Sequel You Are Most Anticipating in 2016?
The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater. I'm going to be emotionally traumatized. I can feel it.
5. One Thing You Hope To Accomplish Or Do In Your Reading/Blogging Life In 2016?
I want to read more broadly. I got better at this towards the end of the year, but I know I can do much better.
6. A 2016 Release You've Already Read & Recommend To Everyone:
I don't think I've read any 2016 releases yet! Oops.

Not as well known as "The Lady Eve" or "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek," "Christmas in July" was an unusual film for the writer-director Preston Sturges: it's more wistful, less frenetic. Though it's filled with a myriad of those wonderful character actors that Sturges loved to use to fill the frame (including Franklin Pangborn and William Demarest), it's touching in its regard for the struggling young couple (played by Dick Powell and Ellen Drew) who get swept up in the idea of winning a slogan contest ("If you can't sleep, it's not the coffee, it's the bunk!"). The romantic mood seems to be set in the Depression era, reminiscent of the scripts that Sturges wrote for those Depression comedies "The Good Fairy" and "Easy Living": innocents get swept up in mistaken identities and come out winners anyway. Maybe it's not as manic as his classic romantic comedies, but it has its share of hilarious moments and it's full of charm.
Could this be one of Preston Sturges's most profound comedies?
In addition to being one of the funniest and most underappreciated. In "Sullivan's Travels," Preston Sturges has the
Joel McCrea character speak admiringly of fellow director Frank
Capra. In "Christmas in July" possibly Sturges was trying to teach
Capra how to handle sentiment without falling into sentimentality --
the scene where Dick Powell is handing out presents to his
neighbors, and he gives a doll to a crippled girl in a wheelchair --
a remarkably tender moment in the midst of a hectic scene -- done
with just the right touch, One of my favorite lines occurs when
bug-eyed Raymond Walburn sarcastically tells contest-winner
Powell, "I can't wait to give you my money!" Sturges also shows
that you can have plot complications without resorting to villains --
no Capraesque class warfare here -- rich and poor are equally
lovable -- even gruff William Demarest.
This may be my favorite Preston Sturges film. It's as well written and
crafted as anything he made after it. Sturges had a knack for creating
unique characters and throwing them into even more unique situations.
Jimmy MacDonald is absolutely determined to make money the easy way; by winning a contest. A few of his coworkers, aware of his desperation to win an upcoming contest, decide to send him a telegram in order to make him believe he's won the recent contest, along with the enormous cash reward. What begins as a cruel little joke (to find out how Jimmy would react to winning) becomes something much bigger. It wouldn't make sense for me to explain the plot any further; much of the enjoyment in watching the film comes from how it unpredictably unfolds.
"Christmas in July" is rather unusual in comparison to some of Sturges other movies, namely his two most famous films, "The Lady Eve" and "The Palm Beach Story". It contains more pathos and less sexual innuendos, but it never becomes cheap, manipulative melodrama. It's also quite short in comparison to his other movies, but it's all the better for it.
Joyous dose of whimsy from writer-director Preston Sturges, who always managed to wring both sentiment and cynicism from a fairy tale premise. Here, Dick Powell is a working-class guy who's under the impression he's won $25,000 in a coffee-slogan contest. Short at 70 minutes, but sharp as a tack, this is a wonderful stroll through Hollywood's Golden Era. Powell is terrific and Ellen Drew is equally good as his sweetheart. Watch it and enjoy! ***1/2 from ****
Short and sweet, bright and breezy, but not without pith, this early
Preston Sturges feature helped further establish his "wonder-kid"
reputation in the early 40's before his great classics "Sullivan's
Travels", "The Lady Eve" and my favourite "Hail The Conquering Hero".
The simple premise of a hoax win in a national coffee-slogan competition for ordinary average nice-guy Powell is the springboard for a light morality tale along the lines of "he who does good has good things happen to them" - although not without the usual series of ups and downs, just as you'd expect.
Of course nobody here is really bad, even the duped killjoy Mr, no make that Dr Maxford of the sponsoring coffee company or Mr Shindler of the too-trusting department store from whom Powell buys gifts for the whole neighbourhood on the strength of the phony winning telegram placed on his desk by his prankster work colleagues. Even when he finds out that his win is bogus, Powell can't get angry at the tricksters, so it's no real surprise that his homeliness, honesty and humility wins everyone over, including his feisty girl-friend, played by Ellen Drew, with the predictable twist in the last reel that Powell's slogan wins anyway.
Powell is very likable in the lead, although Drew is a little too high-pitched in delivery for my taste as the film develops. There's the usual troop of madcap eccentrics which peoples almost every Sturges comedy, with some nice little cameos, I particularly liked the actor playing the deadpan cop, not above making some contemporary allusions to Hitler & Mussolini to stress a point.
The dialogue of course is mile-a-minute vernacular and I got a kick out of Sturges' Dickensian word-play over triple-barrelled lawyer's names (along the lines of "Swindle Cookum and Robbem!"). Right from the start, we get the "screwball comedy" template of a poor Joe and his girl, dreaming of something bigger waiting for something extraordinary to happen, with Powell and Drew's extended night-time scene on their New York apartment roof-top, and succeeding entertaining scenes including Powell's reaction to "winning" the competition and best of all the frenetic crowd scene when Maxford tries to get his money back only to cop a batch of rotten fruit ("Don't throw the good stuff" admonishes one parent to a tomato-wielding youngster), it's all good clean fun and ends up happily ever after. And get a load of that "zoom" shot back into Maxford's office at the end - it certainly got me out of my chair, not the last time Sturges employed camera tricks of this type - remember the memorable stop-start sequence to "The Palm Beach Story".
The movie celebrates community, the little guy who dreams of making it big and how to meet disaster with alacrity, in short a feel-good movie with a big heart, well worth an hour and four minutes of anyone's time.
On the surface this effort from the brilliant Preston Sturges looks
like a standard sugar coated feel good movie, but strip away the outer
skin and you get a delightful collage of comedy, romance, satire,
drama, and nudge nudge observations about hunger of wealth and all the
spin offs that wealth creates.
I don't deem it unfair to state that the films core plot of frivolity may not be to everyones taste, but to me personally it ticks all the boxes for a joyride with more at its heart. The pace of the film is more in keeping with screwball comedies of the great era, but that is not to say that the film doesn't shift down a gear for poignant reflection, because it does , but ultimately the film is full of hilarity from many quarters, that is acted out accordingly from a sparky cast, and of course directed by a deity .
A joyous winner that prods you in the ribs and gives a cheeky wink along the way 9/10.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
As the follow up to "The Great McGinty" Preston Sturgis returned to an
old play of his that was written in 1931 and called "A Cup Of Coffee".
Sturgis, for all of his cynical slant in his comedies and screenplays,
had a pretty accurate view of the American Dream. In "Christmas In
July" the hero is trying to make it to fame and fortune overnight - by
winning a jingle/slogan contest on the radio. And the truth of the
situation is far more complicated than we credit it in being.
Powell has entered every contest he can, figuring that the law of averages will eventually come to his assistance and win him the big prize. He doesn't stop to think that the same viewpoint is held by everyone else who is competing against him. He also does not like the regular hard work ethic that is pushed by his office manager (Harry Hayden) to concentrate on his job and you will be a success - not spectacular but one who meets his debts and looks the world in the eye. Powell is not opposed to hard work, but he hates being one of the herd of numberless drudges like most of us.
He has gotten three of his office friends so fed up with his constant sweep-stake fantasies that they decide to send him a fake telegram that he has won the Maxford House Coffee sweepstakes. He has a slogan "If you find you can't sleep at night, it is not the coffee, it's the bunk!" Cute (a pun of course), he keeps explaining it to everyone who couldn't care less. But the Maxford House Radio show which was supposed to find a winner is unable to reach a timely decision (William Demerest is trying to convince them to favor one that he thinks is a snappy slogan, and Robert Warwick wants a more formal and dignified short slogan). Taking advantage of this impossible tie situation, the trio send their false telegram - and Powell and his girlfriend Ellen Drew go crazy.
But that's just it - everyone goes crazy. Powell's boss Ernest Truex, who has rarely given him a second glance, when he hears about this thinks Powell is a business genius and starts considering promoting him. The staff of his accounting firm and various businessmen all bow and scrape to him. The three friends who play the joke find it has gotten so out-of-control that they can't stop it (they don't dare to). The joke even is pulled over the coffee company owner, Dr. Maxford (Raymond Walburn, who almost steals the film from Powell). Maxford is disgusted by the way the slogan jury under Demerest won't do as he orders, and he is totally prepared to accept the fake telegram as proof that the same committee didn't even bother to notify their employer first!
The film is pretty funny throughout, as Powell enjoys the height of glory and the depth of despair as the truth about the telegram hits Maxford and the people from whom Powell has been buying goods (gifts for his family and friends - since it is summer the title of the film makes sense). But in a society that worships success, should it penalize someone who innocently seemed to be successful but wasn't? The conclusion of the film suggests that some trial and error is required, but Sturgis still finds that the hand of fate may be necessary to allow someone to show his or her full potential.
Sturges's directorial effort is astonishingly funny. He creates such winning characters, and then does such terrible things to them! It's amazing how he is able to walk a tightrope between satire and sentimentality. The Sturges company is in place already, watch for Walburn as Dr. Maxford, everything he says is a marvel of pomposity! Powell and Drew make an appealing working-class couple, yearning to be together, but lacking the funds to get married. You will laugh, and you will be sucked into Jimmy's plight! Modern comedies could learn from Sturges, Stevens, Capra, et al.; it's fun to laugh at, and with, people that we like...
I'm a film buff...I watch movies of all sorts all the time. But Christmas
July may well be my favorite film of all time. It is well-constructed,
tightly executed, and just plain hilarious. I've never laughed harder at
film then I did during the seen where Dr. Maxford gives Jimmy the
As always Bill Demerest is great. The entire cast shines in this film. I'd advise anyone striving to become a writer/director of films to study this film. This is how it ought to be done.
"Christmas in July" (Paramount, 1940), the second feature entirely
written, produced and directed by Preston Sturges, following his
initial success of "The Great McGinty" (1940), ranks the director's
most mellow comedies, compared to his future efforts as "Miracle on
Morgan's Creek" 1944). In spite of his reputation for his wild and
crazy plots, along with his familiar assortment of bizarre characters,
"Christmas in July" could understandably be mistaken for a Frank Capra
film, a theme not so much on how a good fortune changes the common man,
but how much the common man unselfishly changes the lives for the good
of others.
The plot is relatively simple: James MacDonald (Dick Powell) and his fiancé, Betty Casey (Ellen Drew), sit on the rooftop of their New York City apartment building listening to the radio where the name of the contest winner for the best slogan is to be announced. Wondering about the delay, Maxford (Raymond Walburn), president of Maxford House Coffee Company, heads over to the room where he finds the jury (consisting of Sturges stock players of Dewey Robinson, Arthur Hoyt, James Conlin and Robert Warwick), headed by its foreman, Bildocker (William Demarest), unable to decide upon the winner. With time running out, Maxford has the very nervous Donald Hartman (Franklin Pangborn) go on air to postpone the name of the winner until further notice. Because he had entered many contests in the past, Jimmy is confident that his slogan,"If you can't sleep, it isn't the coffee; it's the bunk." to be a sure winner. The following morning, Jimmy reports to his office clerical job to find a telegram on his desk naming him as winner of the Maxford contest. Overly excited, Jimmy stands on top of his desk where he makes his announcement to his fellow co-workers. Not only does Mr. Waterbury (Harry Hayden), his supervisor, grants him time off to collect his $25,000 prize, but he is immediately promoted to vice-president under Mr. Baxter (Ernest Truex) as a reward for his good fortune. After Jimmy collects the check from Maxford, who's unaware and confused why he hasn't been informed of the jury's decision, Jimmy takes Betty to Schidel's Department Storewhere where he buys her an engagement ring, and using the rest of the check to purchase gifts for everybody in his neighborhood. The Christmas in July celebration comes an abrupt end when Maxford, realizing his error after finding Bildocker still unable to come up with the decision, to arrive at the scene, accompanied by Mr. Schnidel (Alexander Carr) of the department store, to take back everything, including the check, and expose Jimmy as a fraud. A neighborhood riot ensues before Jimmy and Betty are confronted by three of their co-workers, Tom (Michael Morris), Dick (Rod Cameron) and Harry (Jarry Rosenthal) who confess to what was originally intended as a practical joke. Now that reality has set in, what's Jimmy to do? Will he be working a lot of overtime hours to pay for his purchases? Will Maxford sponsor more contests? Will the judges get to come up with the winner before next Christmas?
A Christmas story that's not necessarily about Christmas nor the 4th of July for that matter, but how it is more blessed to give than to receive every day of the year, not just on Christmas. While "Christmas in July" is at best when poking fun of the current trend of radio contests, the story simmers down only when centering upon the poverty-stricken couple Jimmy and Betty, yet, in true Preston Sturges tradition, throws in surprises here and there to hold interest and keep his audience laughing and completely satisfied in how everything is resolved. As much as Sturges could have selected good-natured actors as Gary Cooper, James Stewart or Henry Fonda in the leads, Dick Powell, former crooner of Warner Brothers musicals from the 1930s, making his Paramount debut, turns out to be a fine choice, particularly at this point of renewing his screen image. Aside from the plot it development of its leading characters, Jimmy being an average guy, engaged to a nice girl, living with his widowed mother (Georgia Caine) in a tenement apartment whose ambition is to succeed, Sturges also does a remarkable job with his assortment of neighbors of different ethnic background gathered together in the neighborhood sequence to appear very much true to life. He adds a touch of sentimentality with a memorable bit as Jimmy awards Sophie (Sheila Sheldon), a wheelchair bound girl, with an expensive doll she can call her own. Surprised as well as speechless, she looks up to Jimmy before hugging the gift like a new born baby, which is enough thanks any giver can ever receive. And thanks to Sturges for such a fine motion picture leaving us with something to think about, "If you can't sleep, it isn't the coffee; it's the bunk."
This seldom revived comedy gem that says it in 67 minutes made it to video cassette in 1985 at a high price of $59.95, followed by several cable television presentations, such as the Disney Channel (1991-1996) and Turner Classic Movies where it premiered in 2002. It's 2006 availability on DVD will assure renewed interest for both movie and the comedy films of Preston Sturges. (***1/2)

Information about Surabaya
Surabaya is the capital of East Java and Indonesia's second largest city. Since it is not the official capital, you may find it more relaxed and easy going than its more famous sister, Jakarta. Home to around three million people there is much to do in and around the city. You can expect temperatures to stay fairly constant throughout the year, with highs of 30-35 degrees Celsius, and night time lows of 20-25, so a visit is definitely worth considering any time of the year. Despite the waves of modern imported cars, Surabaya retains much of its past and displays it on the roads. Brilliantly coloured becak (cycle rickshaws) slice through the streams of more conventional traffic, hop on for an enjoyable taste of the past. If you delve into the Old Quarter, then you will find a world awash with foods, crafts, and music that have existed as long as the city has. Be adventurous and try some pakpao, ote, or semanggi, even if you don't know what something is, remember, half the fun of ordering is finding out! Surabaya is a culinary mixture so with a little effort you can find varieties from the Middle East, Europe, China, or more traditional Indonesia. Just outside Surabaya is Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park, named for its two active volcanoes, Bromo and Semeru, and the Tengger people who inhabit the park. Semeru is the quieter of the two volcanoes, with most visitors choosing to visit only Bromo, but it is well worth a dedicated visit due to its periodic eruptions. Semeru can be relied upon to spew great clouds of steam and smoke at intervals of 20 or so minutes. Few people can say they have seen a volcano erupt, and you could be one of them.

Resident Advisor: Phonique
About, Biography, Events, Charts, Tracks, DJ Feed, Photos, RA News, RA Editorial
After moving to Berlin in the mid 90's, Michael Vater a.k.a Phonique was on the go like few others in Berlin. His successful parties and club nights got much love and paved him the way to become one of the nice guys in Berlin's nightlife. First he only organized parties, after a while he started to DJ himself: "DJ Phonqiue" was born.
Since January '98, Phonique continued to bring previously lesser known DJs and producers to Berlin for his club nights and parties, presenting many strong nights with DJs like Glen Gunner (Street Corner Symphony/Block 16), Lil Tony (Nu Spirit Helsinki/Guidance), Alexkid (F-Com/Ovum), Llorca (F-Com/Brique Rouge), Joakim (Tigersushi) or Ivan Smagghe (Blackstrobe/Volga Select).
In the meantime, Phonique continued to develop his "freestyle" profile. His guests were treated to a splendid mix from Hip-Hop via Breakbeats to Old School and Drum'n'Bass. Just about anything was possible in between, as long as the tracks had the necessary "type of groove". He invited DJs like LTJ Bukem, Richard Dorfmeister and many more.
Traveling the world and playing clubs in Sao Paulo, Helsinki, Paris, London, Marseille, Vienna, Brussels, San Francisco, Prague, Tel Aviv, just to name a few destinations, Phonique never forgot his Berlin base. Just like his residencies at Tresor and Pfefferbank (among others), where he brought his 'Club Paris' evening to life, with guests like Pepe Bradock, DJ Deep, Jori Hulkkonen and I:Cube.
From time to time Phonique, together with his partner Kiki, presented their QuadroPhoniquekikz' on four turntables, eventually releasing their first 'QuadroPhoniquekikz' mix-CD in 2002 on Komfort Musik.
His first two 12″ were released on Martin Landsky's Intim Recordings, and from then on Phonique released on labels like Komfort Musik (Berlin), Seasons (USA), Brique Rouge (Paris) and Crosstown Rebels (London), but mainly on Steve Bug's own Poker Flat and Dessous.
His first remix (for Doctorolive) was released on French label Bazoline. After remixes for Frankman (Draft/Fm), Soulcamp (Soulcamp), Le Tone (Naive), Funky Transport (Brique Rouge), Tonic Agents (Highgrade), Detroit Grand Pubahs (Poker Flat) and Erlend Oye (!K7) he even remixed Germany's pop phenomena "Rosenstolz".
Besides Phonique's remixing talents and DJing with vinyl and CDs, he also started to edit tracks so they made more sense for his DJ-sets. When Jazzanova found out about this, they asked him to do some for their own use. So Phonique worked out some edits, partly with his buddy Dixon. Edits for Georg Levin and DJ Spinna, remixes for Georg Levin and Sirius Mo even got released on Jazzanova's Sonar Kollektiv label.
2004 then was a very successful year for Phonique.
His second 12″ on Dessous "The Red Dress" climbed on top of the official German Club Charts (DCC), "The Red Dress" became one of the hottest tracks being played by almost every key DJ in Europe. He worked on Erlend Oye's incredibly successful DJ-Kicks (!K7) in technicals, mixing and consulting and actually played several tour dates with Erlend all across Europe.
In Autumn 2004 then his debut album "Identification" for Dessous was released, featuring collaborations with Paris The Black Fu, Erlend Oye, Alexander East (Minneapolis), Ian Whitelaw (Glasgow) and Dixon (Sonar Kollektiv). With amazing international feedback, even a number one chart entry on Itunes' dance download charts it turned out to be Phonique's breakthrough success.
Massive Video play on German MTV's renowned "Spin" and on Viva Plus of "For The Time Being" with Erlend Oye took his popularity to another level. The 12″ release "99 & a half" feat. Alexander East featured one of the best I:Cube remixes in recent days and went to become a club hit immediately. The album track "You, That I'm With" feat. Ian Whitelaw was licensed to South Africa even pre-release, where Ian Whitelaw's last track (with Alexkid ) had also been the club hit of 2003/4.
Also the single "For The Time Being" with remixes by Alexkid and Motorcity Soul received massive positive feedback, followed by a remix by Sasse (Moodmusic), even leading to a future collaboration with Rodney Hunter (G-Stone) as they found out that their creativity combined would go beyond the framework of a remix and demanded proper recognition, as on a track for the next album.
Even for Sven Väth "Identification" was a highlight, thus he asked Phonique for an exclusive track for "Cocoon Compilation E".
With the closing of Tresor in 2005 Phonique lost one of his favorite residencies, playing the Bonito House Club once a month. Since his very first Tresor Wednesday night gig of February '99, he was fired up about the 600-1400 people crowd that would not stop dancing up until late Thursday morning….
Since Berlin's nightlife is subject to rapid change, Phonique's residences change alike. Currently you can meet him mainly at Weekend, F.U.N. Crew's incredible venue with a view over all of downtown Berlin at Alexanderplatz. Their second compilation on Fine/ Four Music will be supported by Phonique's track ''Bee". Even though release is not expected before early 2006, the track already gets massive support by colleagues like Trevor Jackson (Output) and M.A.N.D.Y (Get Physical).
Recently Phonique asserted his recognition as one of the high profile remixing artists in the dance world, letting Morcheeba's former vocalist benefit from his talents on a remix of her upcoming solo project "Skye" (Atlantic/ Warner).
Phonique mostly works with Alex Krüger (Dub Taylor / Korsakow / Tigerskin) for his productions/remixes, but from time to time he is cooperating with other artists or musicians like Steve Bug, David Duriez & Phil Weeks, Martin Landsky or Meitz.
Already being recognized internationally as one of the leading forces behind deep and forward thinking club music and commercial productions alike, this one will take it to the next level.

Occoquan VFW Post 7916 celebrated as their incoming Post Commander Jeffrey Lett and other officers took their oath to join the leadership team for the Post.
During the ceremony, the front room of the post was named "Colonel Wilson's Black Cat Lounge", named to honor the Post's outgoing Commander – retired United States Air Force Colonel Chuck Wilson, who served as the Commander for three years.
More on Wilson and the naming of the lounge, from a release:
During his Air Force Career, Chuck Wilson was blessed with multiple commands at several levels, on both sides of the globe. In 1995 & 1996, Wilson was the Commander of the renowned high flying U-2 Squadron located at Osan AB, South Korea. That squadron, is the 5th Reconnaissance Squadron, known as the "Black Cats".
The Black Cat Squadron has a rich heritage going back to 1960 when the Black Cats flew the U-2 "Dragon Lady" out of Taiwan, to U-Tapao, Thailand during the Vietnam conflict, through today out of Osan AB, South Korea. And yes, this outstanding squadron has a "Black Cat Lounge".
Wilson is slated to go on and become the Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Virginia District 10, which represents almost 6,000 veterans, 1,500 Auxiliary members, from Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, and Prince William Counties.
This acronym, with the meaning known only to the Black Cats, "IYAABCYAS," lets them know that there is a Black Cat present. Be sure to visit Post 7916's Black Cat Lounge during Occoquan's Arts and Craft Show 3 and 4 June.

Whenever I go on vacation, I always like to make sure that, amidst my relaxation time, I incorporate fun fitness activities. From hiking, to running, to yoga, or water sports, whatever terrains to which my travels take me is how I decide what to do to burn some calories. While heading to your hotel gym is always an option, it is certainly not the most fun. Get creative!
When Robert and I honeymooned in Maui, Hawaii, we decided to try something new – paddle boarding. I knew it would be fun and difficult, but I had NO idea how great a core workout it would turn out to be! Learning to stand up on the board, then paddling while standing took an extremely engaged core (and strong legs as well). We even turned it into a game to see how long each of us could go without falling into the water, which made it even more fun! I ended up winning, but I personally think it is because I am shorter and therefore have a lower center of gravity, so it's a bit easier for me to balance than Robert (he is 6'3'' while I am 5'3'')!
My parents were also enjoying the beach after our wedding the day before, so I recruited them to take some photos for us – here are a few!
If you ever find yourself on a vacation by the beach, I would highly suggest trying out this very fun form of fitness!
QOTD: Have you ever gone paddle boarding?

Old Salem in North Carolina. What an incredible historic town to explore with family this past weekend. From real tradesmen demonstrating their skill, heirloom-puppet puppet shows, and beautiful historic buildings and home from the late 1700s, it was my daughters' happy place.
And there was roller derby and beautiful dinners (thanks to my talented sister-in-law) and warm weather and aquariums and cousin play. I love our trips to Greensboro. I love staying up late with good conversation. I love seeing a whole new life and town away from ours. And of course, I love (and miss) the south.
I hope you have a great start to a new week. (And it's officially spring!)

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Pakistan closed the main route used to ferry supplies to U.S. and allied troops in Afghanistan on Tuesday after launching a fresh offensive against militants in the area.
The road through the Khyber Pass in the northwest of Pakistan has come under increasing attacks by militants seeking to squeeze Western forces fighting a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan in recent months.
U.S. and NATO soldiers in landlocked Afghanistan rely on the winding, mountainous route for delivery of up to 75 percent of their fuel, food and other logistical goods, which arrive in Pakistan via the port city of Karachi. Officers insist the attacks are not disrupting their mission in Afghanistan.
Fazal Mehmood, a civilian administrator in Khyber, said the army launched an offensive against insurgents there Tuesday morning after they ignored a deadline to surrender.
"Because of these operations, supplies have been suspended to Afghanistan and vice versa," he told The Associated Press, giving no details on the offensive or how long the suspension was expected to last.
The road has been temporarily closed to traffic at least twice this year for security reasons, each time for no longer than several days. Militants have torched hundreds of trucks carrying supplies through the pass over the last two months.
A smaller number of supplies arrive in Pakistan by a second land crossing at Chaman in the southwest. That road was open Tuesday, a witness said.
NATO says it is investigating other possible supply routes to Afghanistan — such as through central Asian states to its north. The alliance and U.S. officials say the escalating attacks on the Khyber and temporary suspensions are not affecting operations in the country, in part because they have large stockpiles of supplies. Guns and ammunition are not shipped through Pakistan.
On a normal day, some 300 trucks carrying military supplies travel up the pass. Media reports have said that truck companies are becoming increasingly unwilling to transport the goods because of the danger.

Almost 100 learners take part in the National FET Learner Forum 2017
Posted on April 13, 2017 at 09:41 AM
The National Further Education and Training (FET) Learner Forum took place on Friday 7th April in Croke Park, Dublin. This event marked the second meeting of the forum when 100 learners from across Ireland met to discuss their achievements and challenges in FET. The learners in attendance were nominated to join the forum by their local education groups, and included particpants from Traineeships, community education, the Youthreach programme and the Back to Education Initiative.
The Government committed to the establishment of a forum for learners in the Further Education and Training strategy, published by SOLAS – The Further Education and Training Authority in 2014. SOLAS tasked AONTAS – the National Adult Learning Organisation with developing a forum for FET learners as AONTAS has previously consulted with learners to find out about their experience of these services. This national forum gives learners an opportunity to share their views at national level and to help influence policy. Their feedback will be collated into a qualitative based policy report and will help to inform future decisions about the delivery of FET programmes.
The agenda included a range of speakers, including the Minister for Education and Skills, Richard Bruton TD who officially opened the forum event; panel speakers included Paul O'Toole, CEO of SOLAS, Clare McMahon, Education and Training Boards Ireland (ETBI) and Alan Hand, adult learner representative. John Lonergan also gave an inspiring input on the Power of Education for Change.
Minister for Education and Skills, Richard Bruton TD
We were delighted to have Minister for Education and Skills, Richard Bruton TD officially open the forum. The Minister payed tribute to all of the learners who gave their time to participate in this important event. He noted the value of FET in offering learners a wide variety of programmes to support employment, development of skills, and career and education progression. The Minister also noted the many positive benefits that FET has on health and well-being and how it provides great opportunities to meet new people, to engage in local communities and overall to participate in wider society more generally.
Panel Discussion
A panel compromising of key stakeholders in FET ranging from Paul O'Toole (CEO SOLAS), Clare McMahon, ETBI and Alan Hand (Adult Learner) discussed the importance of having a forum for learners in FET and how the forum places the learner voice at the centre of national FET policy.
John Lonergan
John Lonergan, a former prison governor gave a captivating input on the 'Power of Education for Change'. Through his many years of working in the prison service, he saw human nature at its worst - and often, unexpectedly, at its best. John spoke about how education enables us to explore ourselves and the world around us and how every person is unique and has a special gift.
Sharing the Learner Voice
Learners made a valuable contribution on the day by taking part in two key discussion sessions about their experience in FET and how their FET programme is currently meeting their needs. Learners were also given a variety of fun spaces to share their feedback through interactive games in the Learner Voice Hub. We also captured their views through photos, video and feedback forms.
Next Steps
AONTAS will publish a qualitative policy report based on the feedback from the learner discussions which took place at the forum. This outcomes of this report will influence future national FET policy decisions.
Some parts of the National FET Learner Forum were broadcast live on Facebook and can be viewed here. We are also creating a video that documents the event and we look forward to sharing this with you in the near future. For more information on the event, please email Karen Williams, Learner Supports Officer at: email@example.com.
