I just finished the top of a T-shirt quilt for my hubbie--and have some questions for the next time!
1) I used pellon 911 as that was what I was told to stablize the T's with--but it seems rather stiff and also it's not fusing well despite applying per instructions.
2) any suggestions on how to deal with big differences in size of shirts? My hubbie is a 2XL and some of the T pictures are LARGE! but others are small--any great ideals to make it all fit easily?
3) it will go on the long arm Tues or Wed--any ideas on quilting?
Thanks--I know I can count on all of you!

Makelele reveals PSG tension
Claude Makelele admits friction within the PSG squad is doing little for the club's title tilt.
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 17/03/11 11:23am
Claude Makelele admits friction within the Paris St Germain squad is doing little for the club's title tilt.
The capital giants have slipped off the pace in the hunt for the Ligue 1 crown, with seven points now separating them from leaders Lille.
That particular prize appears to have slipped through their grasp, prolonging a 17-year wait for top-flight glory.
Frustration at a failure to remain in contention has started to cause tension within the camp, with certain individuals rocking the boat.
Coach Antoine Kombouare has also been openly critical of some of his players in recent weeks, doing little for squad harmony.
Club captain Makelele has confirmed that cracks are starting to form, with it important that PSG pull together behind a collective cause if their season is to steer clear of collapse.
"There are some issues which need to be sorted out between us," said the veteran midfielder.
"Some time ago Mevlut Erding, Guillaume Hoarau and Mamadou Sakho had some difficult moments and we all showed solidarity.
"Sometimes different sides to us can surface. We have to learn to manage that.
"Some issues have caused friction within the group, but I am not worried about the squad."

We've seen quite a few trailers for The Woman in Black, the upcoming horror flick starring retired boy wizard Daniel Radcliffe. In fact, I can count at least four trailers we've posted in the last few months. That kind of aggressive marketing push could mean it's a real gem and they're hoping to get as many eyeballs on it as they can. Or it could mean it's terrible and they're desperate to make it look good so they'll get as much opening weekend business as possible before the negative buzz spreads. Either way, today they've released a new 60-second trailer for the movie; judge that as you will.
Regardless of the quality of the actual film, so far the trailers have been spooky and effective. They've also been a little repetitive. The creepy eyeball, the unnerving photographs, the faint silhouette of a shadowy lady -- all spooky as hell, but starting to become overly familiar now that we've seen them in multiple trailers. This new one recycles many of those same images, but thankfully also throws us some new footage, including a better look at the unfriendly Woman in Black herself and that great shot of the darkness advancing down the hallway toward Radcliffe. It reminds me of an unforgettable and terrifying sequence in Brad Anderson's underrated Session 9, and if The Woman in Black manages to be one-fifth as scary as Session 9 it'll be a success in my book.
The Woman in Black opens on February 3rd, 2012. You can read more about it in our Blend Film Database.

Thinkin' bass when it's 15 below
We've just experienced the coldest and snowiest week of winter that I've seen since I was a teenager.
On one hand, it was fun to hang with my teenage boys who were home for three days because school was cancelled.
But when school is cancelled in Michigan, you know the weather is bad. How bad?
We got about 30 inches of snow in three days, and it was very difficult to get around. It was -15 degrees outside while I spent 3½ hours on the snow blower and plow. The wind was blowing 25 mph, which pushed the wind chill down to -45 and created massive drifts. Today, as I look at my driveway toward the county road, there's snow piled 5 feet high.
So why do I live in Michigan? Mainly because our family loves the outdoors and enjoy the four seasons – spring, summer, fall and winter that we experience here.
And, of course, I'd argue we have the best smallmouth bass fishing in the world, and that comes from having diverse lakes, cooler seasons and less fishing pressure.
Some of us fish late into the fall and are back out when the ice thaws in spring, but there's about four months of open water when there's very little fishing pressure on the thousands of lakes we have here. So, in that respect, our lakes get a break and I think that helps our fishing.
But, as I sit here watching the entire country go into a record-breaking deep freeze, I can't help but think about how this weather could affect the GEICO Bassmaster Classic.
I'm in preparation mode and my new Nitro is rigged and ready at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, Mo. – where it was below zero this past week. If this unseasonably cold weather continues, it could change bass fishing nationwide.
The cold temperatures won't be an issue. In fact, if the south stays in the ice box, there will be a pronounced shad kill that could be a good thing for the bass population, short term. It happens every winter, but generally not until late January, and I hear it's happening on several lakes now. The bass are leaving the bottom to feed on dying, fluttering shad, making for an incredible jerkbait, umbrella rig, swimming grub bite. They really chunk up on those shad.
But if this cold snap continues and is accompanied by heavy rain and snow, it could have an adverse effect on Guntersville.
High, muddy water is about the only thing that could really hurt fishing during the Classic. However, those conditions could kill the vegetation and create a mess of floating grass that will make fishing with treble hook lures difficult.
More importantly, when the grass is gone on those key structure elements, the bass leave too and become harder to locate.
The upside to that is if you do locate the bass in an area, there will be a ton of them there.
We're all expecting big things from this year's Classic on Guntersville and rightly so. It's one of the best lakes in the country. But for it to be really good we need to see some stable weather beginning at the end of this month.
There are 34 days until official practice begins and 42 until the first day of competition. It's going to be fun.
Remember, it's all about the attitude!

Benedikt Howedes and Julian Draxler have been training as normal after being involved in a motorsport accident which has impacted Germany's pre-World Cup training camp in northern Italy.
Formula One driver Nico Rosberg and professional touring car driver Pascal Wehrlein were taking part in an event with Germany's sponsors Mercedes on Tuesday when Wehrlein's car struck two people who were subsequently taken to hospital, with one of them being airlifted.
Howedes and Draxler had been riding in the cars at the time of the accident, which has left a deep mark on the mood at the training camp.
National team general manager Oliver Bierhoff addressed the situation at a press conference on Wednesday morning after visiting the victims in hospital.
"Both drivers are really shocked," he said. "The players too. They wanted to speak only briefly and then rejoin the group. There is great shock within the team."
Howedes reportedly helped with the initial treatment at the scene but played down his role.
"I have done nothing that anyone else would not do," he said. "In such a situation obviously you want to help. I think the images will remain in my head for some time. I have spoken with the coaches and the team and that has helped."
Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira added: "We talked in groups within the team, along with Bene and Julian. Such accidents can happen from time to time, but we must still focus on our work. We wish the best to everybody involved."
Rosberg, who leads the 2014 Formula One drivers' standings after his win in Monaco over the weekend, said on Twitter: "I am shocked by the accident. My thoughts are with the two people who were injured and I wish them a fast recovery."
German daily Bild reported that Rosberg slowed his car to avoid hitting a spectator who had walked on to the track, followed by a marshal, and Wehrlein swerved to avoid him but hit the two people, one of whom was air-lifted to hospital shortly before 3pm local time on Tuesday.
A statement on Mercedes-Benz Motorsport's Facebook page said: "An accident occurred during a visit to the training camp of the German National Football Team: while driving on a closed circuit, DTM driver Pascal Wehrlein injured two people whom he unexpectedly encountered walking on the closed course.
"We cannot offer any statement concerning the severity of injuries, as both injured parties are currently undergoing medical treatment.
"Pascal Wehrlein was uninjured in the accident. We deeply regret this accident and send wishes of quick recovery to the injured. We will work in full cooperation with the authorities in determining the exact circumstances of the accident."

Here is an adorable character from a manga series called Crayon Shin-chan. The manga was illustrated by Yoshito Usui, and I guess it's popular. I have heard of it before but never really read the manga. Anyways, this lesson is going to be on "how to draw Shin-Chan", step by step. For those of you that follow the series you should know who you are looking at now. This lesson is going to be incredibly easy because not only is Shin-Chan an adorable character, he is also very simple to recreate. I had fun drawing Shin-Chan because the complexity level was non existent. I do hope you enjoy this tut and if you requested this character, he is the lesson. Peace out people.

A Democratic City Council member in Phoenix is facing criticism and calls to resign after a video of him denouncing LGBT rights surfaced online Tuesday, The Arizona Republic reports.
Councilman Michael Nowakowski had previously stated his support for marriage equality. But in the recently uncovered video, Nowakowski makes disparaging remarks about the advance of LGBT equality to an audience of Christian pastors in English and in Spanish, through a translator. In the video, reportedly filmed in February, he says:
"I never thought I would see the day that men and men would be married. Or where people were allowed to go into the same bathroom as my daughter. This world is changing, and it's time for us to take the leadership and change it back to the way it should be."
In a statement issued on Facebook Wednesday, Nowakowski apologized for his comments and said he had trouble reconciling support for LGBT rights with his Catholic beliefs. At the same time, he said his reference in the video to "returning to the way it should be" was regarding maintaining prayer at city council meetings, not denying LGBT rights.
He made the speech shortly before the City Council was to take a vote regarding prayer at council meetings last month. The vote was called as an effort to stop a group of satanists from delivering the prayer, according to the paper.
"I understand why my statement in the video was misconstrued, and I apologize," Nowakowski wrote on Facebook.
Nowakowski has a record of supporting LGBT rights. After a court ruling brought marriage equality to Arizona in 2014, Nowakowski issued a statement saying:
"Love is love. Who are we to say otherwise or to judge on how individuals feel? ... This ruling sends a clear message that Arizona is not a discriminatory place and will hopefully help the healing process from past legislative actions."
In a video response posted to Facebook, the councilman said he would "continue to vote for equal treatment for all within our city, and I will continue to treat all people with the respect they deserve."
Councilman Michael Nowakowski's Statement on Recorded Comments to Religious Leaders
Posted by Michael Nowakowski on Wednesday, March 9, 2016
Numerous lawmakers have spoken out against Nowakowski, some asking for his resignation. Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, a Democrat, issued a statement condemning the councilman for the video, which appears to have been filmed at City Hall.
"I am shocked that a council member who represents so many LGBT individuals in the heart of our city would hold such homophobic views," Stanton told the Republic. "I condemn these ignorant comments in the strongest terms, and hope and pray the councilman will open his heart and begin to appreciate the diversity of the people he represents."
In 2013 the Phoenix City Council passed an ordinance protecting LGBT people from discrimination. The ordinance extended citywide protections against discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations to cover sexual orientation, gender identity, and disabilities. Mayor Stanton championed the change. His wife has also been a visible spokesperson against teen bullying, including the harassment of LGBT youth.
Watch the leaked video of Nowakowski below.

Mr. PASCRELL. I must say, Chairman Wolf, you've always been a sensitive person--I don't say this to blow smoke; I really mean this--and it's a tough decision when you have to make priorities. We come to the floor to fight for what we believe in, and I think you respect that, and I'm sure the gentleman from Staten Island respects that as well, and we all do here, my good friend from Philadelphia, Congressman Fattah. We'd like to do all of these things and more. But not only did we run out of applications--think about that. People, we said, stop, don't apply any longer. You've got 11,000, 12,000 cops laid off, police officers in this country. Tell me that doesn't have consequences.
Tell me, what are those consequences? Smaller warrant squads. The last two police officers killed in North Jersey, killed by two guys on the lam. We didn't have enough people to go look for them. That's not acceptable in a society which depends upon law and order. So you can't talk out of both sides of your mouth about law and order.
We need police on the streets. This is about community policing. And I would say to my good friend from Virginia, these are two programs that, tonight, we're speaking about one of the police, the COPS Program, and the Fire Act. Leader Hoyer could tell us about that. But they're two bills that are run--no other bills are run better in the Federal Government. I think we would want to duplicate that. Having provided a huge cut in the past, from $166 million all the way down to $40 million, we can't do that with 11,000 and 12,000 police officers laid off.
Our amendment would restore the program. Of course, this is really just a drop in the bucket because it only really hires close to 1,000 police officers. We've already laid off 12,000. And a lot of positions have not been filled. There was no one in that position to begin with.
So, look, the program, the account that we're talking about in NASA I think is $2.8 billion. This is a small part of it. I would rather do it some other way, Mr. Chairman, through the Chair. I would rather do it another way.
My hometown laid off 125 police officers. Same story in other towns in New Jersey. Fewer cops on the beat means more crime on our streets, plain and simple.
If I can't come up here and fight for the guys and gals who defend us day in and day out, and if there is an attack, be it a natural disaster or some man-made disaster, it's the police and firefighters and EMTs who are going to be there long before the Federal Government. We need to protect them.
Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Chairman, it cannot be depending on the allocation. We've got to fight for the allocation. We've got to fight for what we want.
I want us all to listen on both sides of the aisle. What is dragging down the economy at this section, at this point, when you look at it objectively, if you try to look at it objectively, is that we have lost between 600,000 and 700,000 public sector jobs.
So we are adding private sector jobs, even though we only added 116,000 last year, and we've got to do a little bit better than that so we can catch up for people that are coming into the market, and defend and go after those people who want to drop out and become phantoms and then they don't exist at all on the numbers. That doesn't help us either.
But we've got to stop this trend down to the bottom. We're losing teachers, police officers, and firefighters at an unprecedented rate. And if you think that's going to solve our problems, nationally or locally, I don't think that that's the route to go.
I urge a ``yes'' vote on the amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.

We still keep Curry's expiring contract and we would be able to sign Melo, potentially.
Yes, I would include Gallo and Randolph to get Chris Paul
No, I would not. Chris Paul is not worth losing Gallo AND Randolph
Personally, I would.
We still keep Curry's expiring contract and we would be able to sign Melo, potentially.
No depth. Then you're not a better team than Miami, which is the objective and purpose of trading for Paul, no?
Let alone the fact that New Orleans probably woulnd't do the deal.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Both of them? To hell with that. They are both young and salary wise ideal to built for the future.
I have not really seen Randolph enough to be able to pick him over Gallo so i can't really make up my mind which i want to be traded in case CP3 is available. But i would never include both.
Yes, you would have to do it. We would be in prime position to get Carmelo if we made that deal. If you have Paul, Carmelo, and Amare on the same team you worry about depth later.
We've played that waiting game before. What if Carmelo leaves us out in the cold ala LeBron?
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Thing is...Paul is under contract for two more years before he can opt out.
The reality of the matter is if the Hornets don't want to trade him he's not going anywhere. The only reason we pull the trigger on the CP3 trade is if we're convinced that another team has come up with a good offer. Frankly I don't see another team having the assets to pull a trade for him - he's not going to Portland, the Lakers don't have the assets really (and CP3 is NOT going to want to go play in the triangle as much as he listed as a preferred destination) and NO is not going to take back contracts like VC and Nelson, they need to shed salary.
If we take on Okafor's contract, we'd be able to get him by giving up Randolph.
But if the roster we create:
If they don't win a title, then we're screwed and have no flexibility
I love both Gallo and Randolph but Chris Paul is the best PG to pair with Amare and we would instantly be a title contender with a Paul/Amare combo.
Losing Gallo and Randolph makes Wilson Chandler and Bill Walker the best players around the two stars of paul and Amare so hopefully that would be enough to win it all.
Azabuke will be good eventually once he is healthy...I am confident that Mozgov will be a nice player, maybe better than nice and that Turiaf will be a good Center with Amare
Of Course if we can keep Gallo/ Randolph or both, that would be ideal
Eating up Okafor's contract would only happen if we can keep Gallo or Randolph, preferably Gallo if we are getting another big man.
That can go deep in the playoffs and that team would def convince Carmelo to come here...but we would lose Curry's contract.
I dont see how we can get both Melo and Paul without losing Gallo or Randolph.
Atleast if got Paul then Felton would be a nice trade chip to replace any need.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Personally I wouldn`t do that deal.
Giving up Randolph, Gallo and Douglas means you are giving up three talented young players who could be the core of the Knicks future for many years.
If we give them up, sign Paul then get Mello then we end up in the exact same position as Miami: Three superstars and very little else.
Getting Paul would be great but I don`t think that we should give up our young,talented and improving players.
If we can get Paul by giving up one then reluctantly I would give up Gallo. I think that Randolph could be one hell of a player and although I like Gallo I believe that Randolph could turn out to be a better player.
But gutting the team of the majority of its young talent for CP is a plan that is very dependant on signing Melo. I agree that the Knicks do have a good chance at Melo, but you need to expect the worst in these kind of situations.
Say Melo signs that extension, and we've dealt those three to New Orleans. You're left with CP and Amar'e, then a lot of average players.
I just can't bring myself to deal with average after all these years of mediocrity.
You trade for Chris Paul for one reason, and that's to be an elite NBA team. I just don't know if the above team is an elite one.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Paul will isntantly make Amare the best PF in basketball, will drastically improve Walker and Chandler's game which we know has a lot of potential and our bench of Felton, Mozgov, Azabuke, Fields is not that bad...we will be better team.
The question is would you trade Gallo and Randolph for CP3, while keeping Curry's contract for Melo?
eventually you'll have the big three that could beat the Heat.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
I personally said yes because I believe when healthy, Chris Paul is the best PG in the entire league. If we traded Randolph and Gallo though it takes a huge hit to our roster having our 2 rising stars gone, but bringing in an absolute star who will make Stoudemire look so much better.
can't be included in a trade until dec.
That being said, I'm firmly against trading him anyway, until we establish that he's not going to be a part of our core going forward. If he shows signs of consistent brilliance he should be going anywhere, same goes for Gallo. You don't see OKC trying to offload Harden and Ibaka, why should we part ways with our young talent?
Build with them, draft smartly and put some pieces around them via FA if they show that they can be "the guys" going forward.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.

OVIEDO, Fla. - An 89-year-old riding a tricycle was struck by a truck and killed Monday in Oviedo.
Oscar Gerken died at Orlando Regional Medical Center after being hit around 9:30 a.m. near State Road 426 and Slavia Road.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Ford pickup truck driven by 21-year-old Cecelia Lukas, of Oviedo, was headed eastbound on Slavia Road and attempted to make a left turn onto State Road 426.
Troopers said Lukas told them that she didn't see the tricycle in the crosswalk and struck and ran over Gerken, who was taken to the hospital and later died.
The crash remains under investigation.

What Drives Academic Data Sharing?
Despite widespread support from policy makers, funding agencies, and scientific journals, academic researchers rarely make their research data available to others. At the same time, data sharing in research is attributed a vast potential for scientific progress. It allows the reproducibility of study results and the reuse of old data for new research questions. Based on a systematic review of 98 scholarly papers and an empirical survey among 603 secondary data users, we develop a conceptual framework that explains the process of data sharing from the primary researcher's point of view. We show that this process can be divided into six descriptive categories: Data donor, research organization, research community, norms, data infrastructure, and data recipients. Drawing from our findings, we discuss theoretical implications regarding knowledge creation and dissemination as well as research policy measures to foster academic collaboration. We conclude that research data cannot be regarded a knowledge commons, but research policies that better incentivize data sharing are needed to improve the quality of research results and foster scientific progress.

Mohamed Elneny lands top Arsenal prize… but it's not all good news for the Gunners
Egypt last night beat Alex Iwobi's Nigeria 1-0 to move five-points clear in their qualification group.
The Pharaohs face Tanzania, who are bottom of Group G, in June and will confirm their spot in the competition with any result better than a 3-0 defeat.
Elneny could miss up to a month in January and February if Egypt go all the way in the competition.

CYCLING hit the headlines for all the right reasons during London 2012.
As Victoria Pendleton, Sarah Storey and Sir Chris Hoy inspired a generation to saddle up, cyclists could be seen everywhere.
But last week two prominent riders, Tour De France winner and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins and Team GB head coach Shane Sutton were hit by motorists while riding on North West roads.
Now town hall bosses are moving to reassure cyclists of their safety on the roads, offering wary cyclists the skills and confidence to ride on the roads.
Operation Astride was launched in Kirkham following complaints from residents about cyclists on the pavement, a practice which is illegal.
But keen to use education before enforcement, officers will invite cyclists to lessons to improve confidence and offer tips on bike maintenance.
PCSO Jacqui Marwick, from Kirkham neighbourhood police team, said: "Cyclists on pavements will be stopped and spoken to by officers to determine the reasons behind their riding behaviour.
"If it is because they lack the confidence to go on the road they will be offered the chance to take part in either group or one-on-one cycling lessons. If their bike is not roadworthy or they do not know how to maintain their bike then they will be invited to attend a basic bike maintenance class."
Cyclists in Blackpool can also take up a course to build their confidence and proficiency cycling on roads.
Coun Fred Jackson, cabinet member for streets and transport at Blackpool Council, said: "The main reason people resort to cycling on pavements is a lack of confidence – that's why we've put on special cycle training courses to help people get up to speed and back onto the road.
"Cycling is a very good, cheap and healthy form of travel – but people have to be alert and visible, just as if they were in a car."
To book a place on a cycle training confidence course with Blackpool Council, call (01253) 476182 or email email@example.com

I don't mind Nicole. Some of the comments and emotions are a little extreme at times considering her scores but I think her reaction is 100% genuine to how she is feeling at that time and I respect that.
Derek isn't surrounded by Mark and Julieanne so I think that also makes him easier to take because some seasons much as I do like them and great as they are it was The Ballas and Hough show. It was just too much.
That crotch move was gross but the judges like that schtick sometimes. Oy. lol

I saw the band a few months later and I blew their selection out of the water. I also didn't get picked one time because I played a Spector and I would "be in the band if I got a P-bass or a Ric".

My first time with the Formula oro 18's, so far I love them! Huge improvement over the Elixirs I was running but having a few small issues...
First, on the ORO 18's is there no way to adjust the "Throw" in the brake lever, aka The amount of lever movement before brake contact? Seems like the pull is way long till they lock up.
Also, the rear hose Is maybe 2-3" too short, I see the Formula Hose Kits are like $75. Is there any other options for just replacing the one rear hose without buying the kit, Or are there other Hose kits compatible that don't cost $75?
Any help for you Formula guys out there is Greatly appreciated!

Don't Underestimate Your Kids, Jul 13, 2014
|reviewer: Elder Price from New York, New York
|I'm 13 years old. And honestly, this show isn't anything your middle schooler
hasn't encountered by now. Yes, it's raunchy, and rude, but to a kid, it's hilarious.
For many kids, we understand that this is satire. We get that this show isn't
Yes, there are a boatload of sexual references and f bombs. But honestly, the
kids at school are just as bad. If I were to worry about anything with kids and this
show is that some kids will get the music stuck in their head. But we all have the
sense not to sing Hasa Diga Eebowai in church.
There is violence, but not major. If your kid watches PG13 movies, the violence
isn't too much to handle.
If anything, this show will open up discussion on many issues, such as AIDS,
religion, warfare, and homophobia.
Also, this is an amazing show. It's hilarious, and if doesn't take itself seriously in
any way.
(I've never seen the show live but I listen to the music and have watched the
show online.)
Just make sure your kids don't take to banging on doors and starting a chorus of
Trust me. This is a not to miss show for MATURE kids 11 and older that know
about sex and can take rude and offensive humor. But your kids may feel
uncomfortable seeing this with their parents, so let them know that you think
they are mature enough to see it, and DO NOT make your kids leave. It will only
make them feel like little kids. Letting a kid watch this kind of show will tell them
you know they are growing up and you are ready for them to grow.

VERY OFFENSIVE, Oct 24, 2013
|reviewer: Heather A. from Olympia, WA
|I feel that I have to warn people of faith (not mormon faith) that
there is some very offensive humor directed at God and
Christians in this play. I enjoyed the first part of the play
immensely...poking fun at the idiosyncrasies of the mormon
faith...very funny...however, it took a very sharp turn against
faith of any sort and then went vulgar (violence against babies -
yes, babies and women) and kept on going. The parts where
they poked fun at mormonism were what I expected...fun, good
natured...but I did not expect the vulgarity and utterly offensive
("f*** you God" was the theme) direction the play turned and
never quite came back from...I enjoy irreverence...this was far
beyond irreverent...just a warning... it was a $200+ per ticket

Second Street under bridge to close Monday, Tuesday
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is planning to close Second Street between the east and west ramps to Highway 61 on Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 23 and 24.
The closure is required because of concrete overlay and subsequent work that needs to be done on the northbound bridge approach.

Good Heavens
I started listening to this song expecting only the very best and read the description and then stopped. I started it over, turned out lights and monitor, closed my eyes as well, and listened and thought. I highly suggest it to everyone, including you MMD.
The beauty of this song lies partly in the fact that it wasnt written down. Just when you think you know where the songs going, it gently sways in an unexpected direction. And although some notes didnt seem m100% perfect, the movement of the song is entirely more important, and u hit that dead on.
But now dan i urge you to sit back, listen again, and read what these people have told you. I find it amazing that newgrounds has its own little haven where those of us that need to cry can cry freely, and can be consoled by kind people with good hearts. Its almost hopeful, not the song itself, but the community that has grown around your music. It makes me want to help people go through times that we all have or will go through later in life. Please, anyone that needs someone to listen or just to vent, feel free to PM me and I will lend an ear, because its a song like this that just says "there are people out there who could desperatly use your help" and maybe we should pay attention to that voice a little more often.
Thank you Dan. My gratitude is endless, and thankyou fellow fans, for creating the best online community I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.

Hey Craig,
Thanks for the review and the insight into this piece. I did exactly what you said, and you know... it was enlightening. I agree the newgrounds community that has gathered around me has been different than I ever expected and I thank everyone who has ever listened to, reviewed or saved a song of mine. Good hearts is right.
Thanks to you too Craig, Always an insightful reviewer.

that was like WOW I've been taking piano lessons for like 3 and a half years now and i hope i can be that good one day.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
It is not very often that I hear a song made on-the-spot of such proportions. I am deeply impressed. As several others have said, the piano is a beautiful instrument, and the ammount of skill it takes to successfully play the piano is something to be admired. The best songs often come straight from the heart, and this is no exception. Beautifully done, and I am looking forward to more works of musical art that you may provide in the future.
Best of luck.

It took Youssef Rakhanearly a decade to reread Yasser Abdellatif's only novel to date, Qanoun al wirathah (Law of inheritance, Cairo: Dar Miret, 2002, a third edition of which appeared last month), but together with the 41-year-old writer's second collection of poems, Jawlah layliyah (Night tour, Miret, 2009), that impossibly condensed autobiography prompted a heartfelt exchange started writing at a very early age and I don't know of any motives behind it. I was 15 at most and there was no theoretical background at all in the process. I wrote short stories which only two of my friends read. At university the practise developed. It was a chance to find out about new books, and at the Faculty of Arts I met with a group of student writers from different departments like Ahmad Yamani from Arabic, Mohammad Metwalli from English, Hoda Hussein from French and Sayed Mahmoud from History; I was at the Department of Philosophy where I met a politicised, Marxist friend whose name was Nasser Ismail; he helped to direct my reading even though he did not try to enlist me the way leftist students usually did to newcomers on campus. All of which was in the presence of professors like Hassan Hanafi, Nassr Abuzaid, Mahmoud Ragab, Abdel-Mohsen Badr, Abdel-Moneim Telleimah, Gaber Asfour and Sayed El-Bahrawi: while we differed with and around those figures, a true literary climate formed for a period of time at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s. The first story I wrote with any degree of maturity was published in Rose al Yusif magazine on a double page spread with illustrations by the great artist Tad. I was 20. From then on I started dealing with myself as a "professional" writer, to the point of being too proud to participate in the university's literary competitionsÉ Novelist (Chronicler) I did not move from poetry to narrative, the opposite is what happened. I started with short stories. By the time I met Ahmad Yamani and Mohammad Metwalli, who had covered much ground in the prose poem, I was writing a poetic form of the short story, perhaps under the influence of Yahya El-Tahir Abdallah. Through my relationship with them and under the influence of C P Cavafy in the translations of Bashir El-Seba'i and the Antipoes'a of Latin America in those of Ahmad Hassan, I discovered the poetic energy of narrative and so moved onto the prose poem. According to Qanoun al wirathah, one of only three slim volumes by Yasser Abdellatif, life consists of a series of melancholy "old stories" that manifest momentarily like LSD flashbacks. Abdellatif's narrator never says this in so many words, but in a sense it is the point of the book. In writing that eschews all but the subtlest emotions, there is something elegiac about the way people come briefly into focus, only to blur back into a backdrop so pointillistic it appears almost clear. They are Nubian immigrants to Cairo, teenage pioneers of the recreational Parkinol craze, or intellectuals-to-be studying humanities. There is no connection between them, no pattern in which they fit, apart from the narrator's own harshly disciplined consciousness. An eclectic approach to narrative -- and Abdellatif differentiates his work from fiction, insisting that narrative is what it is: Qanoun al wirathah develops a declension of the Sixties legacy represented for him by Ghalib Halassa and Abdel-Hakim Qassim, who are different from each other in subject matter and tone (and not always as Latifian as you would think from the way Abdellatif talks about them) but are perhaps the least two sensational novelists of their time writing in Arabic. In rich, measured prose reflecting an extremely personal sense of the language, each processes the world without artifice, without recourse to drama and with only a modicum of storyline, if that. Each laboriously constructs his passages, devising rather than giving in to spontaneity. Here too structure emerges directly from words and sentences, from the insane drive to match consciousness to what is being said, and above all the insanely rigorous selection of what is worth saying -- to my mind the principal reason Abdellatif has written so little over the years. The --IÞ of the writer, a Cairo University graduate of Nubian extraction whose formative years involved much recreational drug use -- notably in Maadi, a potentially cult setting very different from the upper class-and-expatriate suburb associated with the place name -- is identical to that of the narrator. Is it any surprise that, between the first half of the 20th century (when his family first settled in Cairo) and the 1991 Gulf War (while he was a Cairo University student), past numerous anecdotes and settings and people, what emerges from Qanoun al wirathah is the writer's own weirdly amorphous self, an ego so truly individual it is not only truly but also very effectively wary of narcissism? "To look at yourself directly in the mirror," Abdellatif declaims at one point, "is not to see it. Instead you see your emotion towards it, which lends the picture before you beauty in every case. But to look at yourself in the mirror through another mirror, then you see it in isolation from it [self]... as a subject outside of you... Rest content with this double reflection of your picture, and you will learn not to love yourself with that blind love, to catch it every time it tries to make itself beautiful, and to force it under your whips until you divest it of all that doesn't belong to it." Right after that passage, and without "the flow" being disrupted, three short lines of dialogue between an older French Canadian woman and the narrator make it clear that he is scared of madness and has already tried to kill himself once. A frustrated sexual encounter -- and yet another story never told -- the anecdote trails off into a series of resonant if inevitably inconclusive reminiscences of desire. *** Poet (Witness) I wrote Qanoun al wiratha with a view to completing a "major work" by coming at autobiography from oblique angles; in it I realised all my narrative convictions up until that time, the end of the 1990s. I finished it in 2000 and published it in 2002, and I believe I accomplished in it exactly what I intended. At present I have almost completed a book of short stories -- I like that form a lot, and I don't feel it is done justice at any level -- but at the same time I have a project for a new novel that will be completely different from Qanoun al wiratha . Increasingly I believe that my poetry or my poetic project, if I could exaggerate enough to call it that, will neither develop nor have legitimacy except in the light of my narrative writing. I feel that in order to write a good poem, I have to write a lot of narrative first. Qanoun al wirathah recalls the early work of Paul Auster and (without the sentimentality) the rhythmic flow of Beatnik prose. At times evocative of Haruki Murakami in his naturalist mode, except for chronological consistency, it seems to abide by the rules of the Japanese I-Novel. One thing, however -- Abdellatif's core quality, I think, which he finds sufficiently equivocal to equivocally deny -- sets it apart from all possible kinships in the realm of the novel: it reads like poetry. Far too much in it is far too condensed to be pure (even poetic) narrative, and its stories -- old and melancholy or not -- are seldom told to the end. The intensity, the abrupt shifts in perspective, the sheer weight of each phrase, and then the relative lack of concern for cognitive as opposed to visceral sense -- the way the meaning of a given statement depends on what it evokes, not what it says -- all seem far closer to the poetic than the narrative as such. Of course, this is not to equate the Latifian with the lyrical. But it is not necessarily to equate the Latifian with the anti-lyrical, either: the colloquial, physical world- oriented irreverence that defined the prose poetry movement of the Nineties (of which Abdellatif became part). In Jawlah Layliyah, indeed, many poems are completely free of the Nineties' subversive strictures, and some come close to song, an austere, unpretentious kind often welded to the need to share the beautiful burden of stories. In "Implicit Agreement", for example, although Abdellatif seems to be parodying a particular kind of romantic-erotic poem, there is nothing shocking or cynical or ugly and nothing particularly prosaic: "Our eyes did not meet as two caves where the monster of desire sleeps, waking only on confrontation,/nor did our bodies break the rules of respectful contact/in a quiet dance we never performed./Neither of us was bold enough for initiative./She just handed me her large blue comb/and nodded/so I would comb her hair." To say that Abdellatif's novella reads like poetry, then, is to point simply to the fact that, in almost involuntary defiance of form, there is such a thing as a Sentence through which a particular writer constructs an equally particular connection with the real, without fantastical or analytical ambitions, but without much openness to alternative (non-"realist" or non-personal) Sentences, either. And this has not changed since the poetic short stories turned narrative prose poems of his first book, Nass wa ahjar (People and stones, self- published in 1995): Abdellatif insists on his particularity to the point of sitting on top of vast reservoirs of silence, and so the things that happen in poetry end up happening in whatever else he writes: short stories, essays (literary non-fiction), and novels whether or not rightly so called. Such tip-of-the-iceberg ontology becomes even clearer once the faults of the Latifian are considered. Beyond the obvious difficulty it would present to a reader expecting plot -- this is hardly a fault in itself, but still -- the problem with Qanoun al wirathah (which by virtue of format and format alone is less of a problem in Jawlah Layliyah ) is that it does not tell. In his drive to avoid the confessional and in the stress he places on constructing and creating to the exclusion of the more immediately appealing qualities you might expect from realistic and sincere I-Writing -- scandalous or tear-jerking qualities associated with information and overt emotion -- Abedellatif sustains a certain reticence that makes him discreet. He insinuates, suggests, remarks; he never brags or exposes. There is not a shade a of self-censorship about what Abdellatif does -- quite the opposite -- but there is too much modesty in the most admirable sense, too much decency. Up until the Seventies Generation, the Arab Poet was a testosterone-driven prophet with superhuman pretensions and a sense of responsibility for the world. Abdellatif was a depressive existentialist high on Parkinol. *** Intellectual (Rebel) It seems to me that the failure of intellectual work in Egypt is because the idea of individualism has remained incompletely realised. In a culture characterised by totalitarianism at every level, egos ensure that the mechanisms of the larger society that gave rise to an alternative group are reproduced within that group even as it presents itself in terms of being different. Still, it feels right to separate downtown Cairo as a space in my experience from the groups of intellectuals who gather there. Downtown Cairo was never unfamiliar to me, because I spent a good portion of my childhood in my grandfather's house between Bab Al-Luq and Abdeen, a few metres away from the "Bermuda triangle" of intellectuals' gathering places. As for intellectuals' circles, I was part of early on, and I think I have been cured over time, both because I suffered from the idea of the clique and because most of my close friends from the world of writing happened to immigrate early. I think after that I stayed on the margin of those circles, though I was never entirely isolated, until I travelled to Canada in my turn at the end of last year. It starts, I imagine, with a suicide attempt (figurative as well as literal); it ends with a new life somewhere far, some kind of voluntary death giving way to an afterlife in which the initial impulse looks like an old story. Or at the very least it ends with a book, a book project, something to hold up to the suffocating meaninglessness of existence. It almost certainly does not find resolution among fellow intellectuals however marginal and they too claim to be, however particular their predicaments. The late 1980s are a time when the short story is getting shorter and more lyrical and the metric rules hitherto thought necessary for the poem are finally breaking down for good. It is also a time when dysfunctional capitalism is taking its toll on all but the nouveaux riches of the free-market era. Social and moral values are not so much atrophying as deforming. Nationalism and loyalty to the patriarchs look more and more like cancers of the intellect. Official institutions, which still control society, have reached new heights of corruption; religious fundamentalism, initially abetted by the Sadat regime, is out of control. Far and away to be intellectual means to be politicised, and to be politicised to be Marxist. Never mind the fact that you might not like Marxism: discourse and practise are as dogmatic and limiting as religion itself; there is little if any space for an individual mind to work its way through the labyrinth of consciousness. Taken together in retrospect, Abdellatif's three books sound like an exquisitely muffled scream in response to the questions posed by growing up to that, in a place where neither money nor sex is as forthcoming as it might be, nor perhaps as desirable. With various degrees of subversion and cynicism, they touch on only two other subjects, both of which take up more space in Jawlah Layliyah than anywhere else: redemptive (and thus often resented) love; and the inevitability of friendship. Is it Abdellatif's modesty that prevents him from telling his old stories in a more explicit way? Is it his sense of right or of futility that stops him from recounting his often disappointing experience of Cairo literary life, whether in his writing or as a veteran of all those ludicrous wars? In the poem with which the new book opens, "The End of Adolescence", three friends leave the house of "a certain madwoman" drunk, they pretend to be plainclothes policemen to torment lorry drivers on the road, they stomp on a load of neon lamps they happen upon --on the void asphalt of the Cairo dawn"; a week after that, the speaker says, "and the third of us has sold himself to the devil/while I remained with the other,/he not seeing, I not speaking..." Latifian reticence is a characteristic of neither the universal novelist nor the Egyptian Nineties Generation prose poet. Abdellatif seeks the substance of a state of being, not its paraphernalia. His literary objective may be noble but, more importantly, it is a rare and shatteringly urban choice; with the time and effort required for the inner battles that make writing possible or necessary at all, perhaps it is impossible to be any more prolific and still attempt to achieve it. *** Night Tour Before he grew familiar with the way to school the sickly child grew familiar with the doctor's place: the pharmacy below the clinic with its brown closets and a young attendant wearing fashions that date back two decades wrapping the bottles in paper printed with the logo, which she reeled off a large roll with a metal core, and noting the times of the doses in clear writing. On distant mornings you and your mother would go down to her to buy the medicine. Why, then, did the pharmacy shift places in the night, sliding at least four buildings across? There is a restaurant at the street corner whose glass facade which the steam misted over shows appetising, low-priced food; it seems very close, over at the curve. Night after night you will put off having dinner there and go along with what it takes to stay up and be tired; the day you make up your mind, with a strike, some diabolical hand will have lifted the whole place off the map of existence. And in the dark quarter of your knowledge of the city beyond the street with which you thought the world ended when you were small is an old traffic post and the ghost of an elderly policeman at the crossroads with sleepy lights on a night moist with dew. There stands a forgotten variety theatre where the numbers are performed on a narrow stage flanked by two tiers of seats on which the onlookers have gathered. You are an onlooker and a backstage hand, your viewpoint flits between the two places from pointers to clamorous lives and promises of sustained indulgence to where safety fares better than regret which is as light as beer foam.

A DODGY car salesman has admitted tampering with the mileage on vehicles purchased by unsuspecting customers.
Kenneth Wood altered the vehicles' odometers to make it appear they had less miles on the clock.
The 41-year-old changed the motor log books to make the car's history accord with the false mileage it displayed.
While making a profit from the sales scam, which involved 13 cars, Wood was claiming benefits by failing to declare his true income.
At Newcastle Crown Court, Wood pleaded guilty to dishonest representation to obtain benefit and three offences of unfair commercial practice.
He asked for a further 10 offences of unfair commercial practice to be taken into consideration.
The offences he pleaded guilty to were dated between January and September last year.
Mr Recorder Jonathan Sandiford adjourned sentence until October 22 for the preparation of reports.
The judge said: "He has basically sold a car where he has applied false mileage and created documents to support the false mileage."
Wood, of Mariville East, in Ryhope, was granted bail until the next hearing.
Recorder Sandiford told him: "I make no promises about what sort of sentence will follow in your case."
Jamie Adams, defending, said Wood, who appeared in court in a wheelchair, suffers from ill health, which effects his mobility, and takes strong pain medication.

Police shot and killed a California man who opened fire on an apartment building Tuesday night while ranting incoherently about President Obama's new gun control policy.
Officers responded around 6 p.m. Tuesday to reports of shots fired at an apartment complex in Redding, California, according to a statement from the Shasta County Sheriff's Department. An adult white man, who has not been publicly identified, repeatedly opened his apartment door to yell at police officers about Obama, and wouldn't comply with the officers' requests.
Responding officers tried to subdue the man by shooting bean bag rounds and then with a K-9 unit. When the man left the apartment and pointed his handgun at police, nine officers "engaged the suspect with handguns and rifles," the statement said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kathy Lunsford, a resident in the apartments, said the man grabbed her and pulled her into the apartment before police were called.
