Roland Bühlmann - Aineo
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
Breakthrough (6:23), Ham'nagen (7:04), Unexpressed (7:04), Aineo (6:00), Meldilorn (8:19), Kenosis (5:55), Contemplation (11:08)
As I looked at the calming, abstract, pin-hole camera photo that adorns this CD, I thought: "Ah, here we go. More new-age meandering background music". How wrong could I be? Well, quite wrong!
Roland Bühlmann, who incidentally took the cover photo, produced the album and played all the guitars on it, and has something about him, way-beyond any meandering. His nimble playing, the use of sampled drums, the subtle dynamics and above all his layering of melody, refuses to allow this collection of guitar instrumentals to become background music.
The opener
is a case in point. Here, Bühlmann uses up-tempo and strident guitar riffs, with a jazz-tinged breakdown that, along with his elegant soloing, produces a tune that is hard to forget.
Other highlights on this CD include the dark, electronic atmosphere of
, with its classical guitar interludes and the off-kilter drum patterns you find in dance music. I also love the percussive and chiming soloing on
, and the modal tones and middle-eastern vibe of
, which also has a terrific bluesy solo on it.
There is a little dip into smooth jazz territory with the title track, whilst the closing
creates exactly that, with its moody, slow, melodic ambience which also has the subtlest of electric guitar solos. It makes good the promise of the cover art but is neither meandering nor background music.
If you enjoyed
Steve Rothery
The Ghosts of Pripyat
, then I urge you to investigate this delightful and inventive collection.

Christina - The Light
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
Full Stop (4.51), Stay (5.09), Legend In The Making (4.55), Disappeared (4.00), When The Darkness Fades (4.39), The Anger In Your Words (3.39), The Same Old Road (3.39), Last Breath (4.56), The Light (5.37).
When an artiste becomes instantly recognizable, simply through the mention of their first name(s), then you know there is something very special going on. Currently in prog, there is nobody more worthy or more special than Christina (Booth),
's front woman and possessor of one of the most beautiful voices in and out of the genre.
Hers is a rare, wonderful gift and, especially now, Christina has been through a passage in her life that would test the very strongest and doughtiest among us. First, there came the loss of both her beloved parents and then there was the diagnosis and successful treatment of breast cancer which she overcame with great dignity, humour and grace.
Few present will forget her
Don't Give Up
duet with
Alan Reed
at last year's Trinity Festival in Leamington, where grown men were reduced to blubbering wrecks by both the poignancy and beauty of their seemingly impromptu performance while Christina was undergoing treatment.
It is little wonder therefore that
The Light
, for which Christina has written all the lyrics and co-wrote the music with her colleague and Magenta main man, Rob Reed, is a deeply personal and spiritual collection of songs, which are chiefly about the quest for enlightenment and the knowledge of what will happen in the afterlife.
The musical arrangements featuring a galaxy of top musicians such as Andy Tillison, Theo Travis, John Mitchell, plus her Magenta colleagues Chris Fry, Dan Nelson and Andy Edwards, while her sister Francesca Murphy provides the backing vocals.
Thankfully, with Reed's peerless arrangement and production skills, the accompanying instrumentation never competes with or swamps that glorious voice. A simple piano or delicately modulated synth against a steady rhythm is all that is needed for much of the album.
This is her second solo album, the first being
Broken Lives And Bleeding Hearts
, which came out in 2010 about which my learned DPRP friend Geoff Feakes remarked: "Along with pop and rock, elements of blues and jazz surface, all of which are handled with supreme confidence and panache."
Again, there are bluesy and jazzy moments on
The Light
, but there is also a more soulful feel which really first came out on the brilliant Janis Joplin tribute,
, on Magenta's
The 27 Club
last year.
The Light
starts with the beautifully thoughtful
Full Stop
that evokes a feeling lyrically of being out of your depth, its lilting keyboards, steady beat and Francesca's backing vocals giving it gentle textures.
is a sweet ballad, full of wistfulness, the sounds of a string section and piano, along with some delicious vocal harmonies before Travis enters to deliver a mellifluous soulful saxophone passage.
There's a mellow soulfulness to
Legend in the Making
and Christina makes some beautiful shapes within the notes she sings. However,
is the song which takes the album to another level in raw emotion. It is the trembling in her voice as she senses her loved one slipping away before her eyes which is so moving and ultimately heartbreaking.
Those moments are not fully recaptured until the title track at the end. However,
When the Darkness Falls
has a delicious melody, which Christina laps up, and an orchestral like backing.
The Anger in Your Voice
is probably the weakest track of the nine here as it plods along without really going anywhere.
The Same Old Road
is another pretty ballad with an air of nostalgia hanging over it and Last Breath has some jazzy overtones as she recalls the final moments of her father's life, the song literally finishing on a last breath.
If these previous songs all seem to have the finality of life as their central theme, then the utterly gorgeous Celtic-like title track brings new life and optimism back into focus. Christina's voice again scales almost impossible heights of beauty and purity.
Only the terminally flint-hearted would fail to be moved by
The Light
, especially with the personal stories which have inspired and coloured the songs. She breaks your heart and uplifts your spirit in equal measures.
While the rest of the world lumbers on, deluded by the artificiality of the so-called "commercial" music, the world of progressive rock can only give thanks that it has a precious jewel called Christina. Catch her with Magenta in London and Bilston later this month. That voice is as extraordinary live as it is here on record.

Freedom to Glide - Sick To Death
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
A Better Way (5:10), Dear Mum (1:32), No White Stone (3:17), Shell Shocked (9:10)
Freedom to Glide (F2G) is a co-operation between two musicians, Pete Riley and Andy Nixon. They both were members of a Pink Floyd tribute band called
Dark Side of the Wall
. Riley (piano, synthesisers, organ) and Nixon (vocals, guitars, bass, programming) have already released their worldly-acclaimed debut album,
, in 2013. This new EP
Sick to Death
continues to tell the story about 100 years of war and conflict, and it is released ahead of their next album entitled
, to be released later in 2015. The good thing is, that none of the songs will be appearing on that new album, so it makes it very worthwhile to buy this EP. It seems the guys have written a large amount of very strong, new material for this yet to be released new album.
Their debut album got a well deserved 9 out of 10 on DPRP by Andy Read, and in my opinion this EP and deserves the same high appreciation. There is a subtle shift in musical style, but still nothing to worry fans that have come to know F2G. The influences of
Pink Floyd
are still very obvious but F2G are no copycats.
The opener
A Better Way
has a nice build-up with atmospheric guitar work and powerful vocals. On
Dear Mum
it feels like Roger Waters himself is in charge of the vocals. The third track
No White Stone
has a more acoustic feel, but towards the end there is a scorching guitar solo by Andy Nixon. It really gives you goosebumps. The final track,
Shell Shocked
, has orchestrations and acoustic guitar that brings a nice atmosphere and at the end. The madness of the whole subject matter is clearly made with more bombast through heavy guitars.
So watch out for the new full album of these guys and check out this brilliant EP on Bandcamp.

Hibernal - After The Winter
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
After the Winter (7:16), Homecoming (4:30), The Time Has Come (7:19), All That's Been Lost (3:11), Worn (5:25), A View of the World (3:48), Displacement Part I (2:34), Displacement Part II (3:44), The Silent Earth (8:03), Pathways (5:06), Beginnings (5:55)
It takes quite some thinking-outside-of-the-box to create something truly original in the genre of progressive music. So hats off to Australia's Mark Healy and his growing niche of prog-infused sci-fi tales.
Plenty of artists have tried various shades of the (Prog) Rock Opera, but they've always chosen a style similar to a stage musical, with the storylines and characters being progressed through the song lyrics by a cast of guest singers.
Healy's Hibernal project differs in that there are no songs; the music is merely a backdrop to the storyline played-out by two or three voice actors. It is about as close to cinematic, as an album can get, without becoming a radio play, and having to create a hard drive's worth of sound effects.
This is the third Hibernal album, and again Healy takes one of his own Blade Runner inspired sci-fi storylines, and lays it over his own ambient, guitar-led, post rock, cinematic soundtrack. It's akin to the softer instrumental bits of
War of the Worlds
, but with no songs.
Healy is foremost an author, who has been building a decent catalogue of self-published, futuristic novels.
After the Winter
is adapted from his novel,
After the Winter (The Silent Earth, Book 1)
, which he published through Amazon last year.
It tells of a man who transfers his thoughts and memories to a synthetic body in order to survive an apocalypse. When life finally returns to planet Earth, his human soul begins to seek to return to its human form. But things don't quite go to plan.
It is very similar in many respects to
, last year's Hibernal offering, which I reviewed in some detail
Again the story benefits greatly from the use of two excellent voice actors, Brad Everett and Faleena Hopkins, the latter also appeared in
Healy plays most of the instruments, but there is a great groove added by the bass, performed by Rowan Salt. I am struck that the use of additional, experienced guest musicians may help develop this project as it moves forward.
You just have to sit down and immerse yourself in the Hibernal music and story. I did just that and again I really enjoyed the hour's entertainment. I find this storyline more rounded and thus more satisfying than
However this time the music appears to hold more of a background role. There is a slower pace to the delivery of the story, which is a plus, as it gives the listener more space to absorb what is happening in the plot. However that space needs to be better filled with the music.
To avoid becoming too predictable, I feel that Healy needs to develop more variety in his playing and composition for when the actors are "off-stage".
As before, once I know the outcome of the storyline, I'm not sure that I'm going to play this more than a couple of times. Thus, Hibernal works more as a podcast for me. In that respect, the download is quite enough, and at just 5 Australian dollars (3.50 euros at today's prices), I think that Healy had a pitched his product just about right. If you enjoyed his previous works, then this is a no-brainer. For those whose interest has been piqued, there is little to loose.

Master Massive - The Pendulum
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
The Pendulum (0:46), Time out of Mind (4:43), Aadham You Will Not Stand Alone (0:27), Four Dreams (8:01), The Monastery (4:49), I Am the Prior (0:34), Eye of Silence (5:54), Dear Aadham (3:05), Sovereign Power (6:41), The Media Palace (4:04), The One Chosen by the Gods (0:13), Hymn to Yellowhawk (7:09), Wishing Well (4:24), Broken Hearts (4:06), Dark Prophecy (4:13), Showdown (5:51), Elegy (5:35)
Twenty years is a long time. It's a very long time in terms of completing a musical recording. This is the back story for Master Massive's concept album
The Pendulum
. Thankfully for us they're finally finished. This is a heavy metal lover's dream, as from bombastic bellows to chugging guitars this has everything a metal fan could want. But is it progressive?
Without needlessly keeping you in suspense, the answer is 'Yes'. To make that case you need only to listen to
Four Dreams
The Monastery
Sovereign Power
Hymn to Yellowhawk
, and a very
Dream Theater
to finish the opera.
We have often-complex song structures with odd changes and time signatures, virtuosity, heady lyrical concepts, (three) six-minute-plus songs, and songs within songs. Musically and conceptually I can't help but think that this album would be the love child of
Operation Mindcrime
's latest
Pale Communion
. For many metal listeners this would be a match made in heaven, and I'd be derelict in my metal review if I didn't mention
. Metallica.
While these tracks demonstrate the band firing on all cylinders, this album also certainly has its share of misfires.
The Media Palace
, though a solid rock song, feels more like an
Iron Maiden
tribute band's attempt at making original music and not the progressive instincts demonstrated elsewhere. Such is the case with several of their tracks. I often find myself drawing parallels with other bands that succeeded in milking some of these styles.
Lyrically there's a scattering of moments that come across as contrived, awkward, or obtuse. Lines such as: "To experience you when your life lust is drained/Tear drops from your eyes feel like they are mine/Through your weary eyes I'm not so sure anymore," make me cringe. The spoken word sections serve no purpose other than to move the storyline along, and they seem unnecessary in the overall context of the album, as those points are made lyrically in the songs.
Other than the occasional nit, there are moments of songwriting brilliance like
The Monastery
's "Prisons of the gods of stone/Pressed into the fortress walls." It would be unfair to suggest that the lyrics for much of this don't matter, but I do find myself listening more to the music than singing along or deeply contemplating something they have sung.
That isn't to say all the non-progressive tracks fall short, just because they're not particularly inventive.
Wishing Well
is a catchy dirge, and
Eye of Silence
is heavy and grungy in all the right ways.
As far as the music production, this is a well recorded and produced album. The mix is not trying to win any loudness wars and has a consistent, modern-era quality despite also feeling a bit like it's from a bygone era.
The album speaks highly of the artist's skill and dedication in completing such an ambitious project, and it demands repeat listens. Overall I can see myself coming back to this many times in the coming years.

Davy O'List - Second Thoughts
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
Second Thoughts (8;55), To The Stars (4:07), The Emperor (8:21), Touchwood (6:23), Bonnie K (3:35), Halfway To Heaven (14:31)
Davy O'List has had a lengthy, if somewhat erratic career in the music business. He first rose to prominence in
The Nice
Keith Emerson
and he played guitar on their first album. He gigged with
Pink Floyd
and recorded with
Roxy Music
, but he never seemed to stay anywhere for very long. Now after many years out of the spotlight, Davy is back with a new album
Second Thoughts
and it is definitely worth the wait.
Davy is ably supported in this venture by Andy Tillison on keyboards, Paul Brown on bass guitar and David Wagstaffe on drums. Davy contributes guitar, organ, synthesiser, trumpet, special effects and vocals. The band works together seamlessly, supporting and enhancing each other's work.
The title track echoes Davy's work with The Nice. It opens with an organ passage that would be at home on
The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack
. Davy's vocal is functional rather than fancy and not unlike Lee Jackson in style. Andy Tillison's keyboards play-off Davy's guitar, while the rhythm section energetically drives things along. It is an exciting introduction to what is to come.
To The Stars
opens with bits of guitar, organ and a half-spoken vocal. It soon becomes a sparring match between Tillison's keyboard and Davy's growling and crying guitar.
The Emperor
opens with a repeated piano and guitar riff and soon develops into an up-tempo number, with plenty of interplay between guitar and keyboards. Tillison and O'List are both first-rate soloists, who never overplay.
begins with chorded guitar and a hint of a jazzy feel. Davy's vocal, and the song's repetitive chorus are simple yet effective.
Bonnie K
is a guitar-driven remake from The Nice's catalogue. It has a bit of an R&B feel to it, which perhaps gives a hint of what the Nice might've become had Davy been in charge.
Halfway To Heaven
closes out the album in grand style. It is a 14:31 tour de force, showcasing the band at its proggy best. It opens with Davy singing to modest keyboard backing, only to take flight into a lovely updating of the best elements of late 60s/early 70s psych and prog. The vocal and lyrics are appropriately trippy as the music draws you happily inward. This is an ambitious piece of music but the band is definitely up to the task.
In summation, Davy O'List has come home to his roots and the homecoming is a resounding success. This is an album that's bursting with ambitious ideas, and has the musicianship to make them work. This album is a 9 in my book, with just a bit taken off for the vocals. All in all it's a wonderful updating of those early days of prog.

The Psychedelic Ensemble - The Sunstone
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
Prologue-The Voyage (2:14), The Sunstone (5:31), The Siren's Spell (4:17), The Storm (4:50), A Hundred Years On (8:04), Sun Mad (6:58), Digging Up the Past (5:45), The Quake (5:42), Gaze (7:42), Endgame (4:07), Back to the Sea (7:18)
The Psychedelic Ensemble is not an ensemble at all but is instead a one-person "band." The musician, a composer, music educator, and multi-instrumentalist, has chosen to remain anonymous. He writes the music and lyrics, performs all of the instrumentation, sings and serves as producer. He also maintains a thorough, well-organised web site that includes the story underlying each release plus interviews, reviews and more.
The Psychedelic Ensemble's four previous releases have received superlative reviews on DPRP. Like these, the new CD,
The Sunstone
, is a concept album. The theme centers around a gem with refractive powers, called a sunstone, and thus used by Viking mariners for navigation. In addition to a small orchestra, appearing on the CD as guests are, most notably, vocalist Ann Caren (a veteran of The Psychedelic Ensemble) and, on one song, organist Michael Wilk (of
). Atmospheric cover art depicting the CD's concept was provided by Sam Del Russi.
Given the orchestral flair and female vocals sprinkled throughout the symphonic prog on this album, a clear reference would be to
Glass Hammer
and more specifically to that band's
The Inconsolable Secret
, although there are also hints of
Emerson Lake and Palmer
Return to Forever
. The keyboard-heavy music here is complex and active. Throughout the CD, a high level of musicianship is readily apparent on all instruments (especially keyboards), a remarkable fact given that this is a one-person band.
Although, as is usual for concept albums, the songs tend to run together, a few songs deserve individual mention. The orchestral opener,
Prologue-The Voyage
, portends good things. It's mostly straight-forward classical music that is gradually laced with electric, progressive aspects. The title tune,
The Sunstone
, is a catchy one indeed; you might be singing along as soon as round two. The mid-tempo
Sun Mad
has, in parts, a haunting quality and throughout, some stand-out vocals.
Digging Up the Past
moves along notably well and showcases aggressive keyboards that jive nicely with the fine vocals. Nods to 1970s jazz fusion are prominent on
The Storm
(which highlighting a frenzied violin, evokes the
Dixie Dregs
) and
The Quake
. Less successful, but still solid, is
The Siren's Spell
. It is nicely atmospheric but too dark and dreary.
A few broader shortcomings can be noted. Segments of the music seem over-active. Why so many drum taps and rolls? Sometimes, less is more. Also, the production values are not stellar. Enhanced crispness all around, and greater separation between the guitar and keyboards would have been welcome.
In short, with this ambitious and engaging project, The Psychedelic Ensemble has created yet another winner. Let's hope that this "band" keeps them coming.

Stoney Spring - Right On Heliotrope!
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
New Blood (2:02), Jobs (4:12), Revenge Rock (3:46), Class of '74 (2:47), Class of '75 (4:08), Pleasure Quest (2:53), I Got a Map (3:16), Stick Shift (3:18), That's not an Ice Cream Truck, That's God (3:22), Right on Heliotrope! (3:22)
Right On Heliotrope!
is a very odd little album that is very difficult to categorise. It is quite a stretch to call this progressive rock, but there are different elements, that mix together to create quite an eclectic little stew of music. Throw in a little bit of old Americana folk from the 60s and 70s a la
Neil Young
Bob Dylan
, some 60s psychedelia like old
Pink Floyd
Captain Beefheart
, along with some of the attitude of 90s alternative rock, and you get somewhat of a taste of what this album is all about.
One of the most notable things about this release is the lyrics, which contain a very sarcastic and negative view of the modern world, including a notable attack on Steve Jobs and his influence. Although very biting in their social commentary, the lyrics contain a lot of humour to soften the darkness of their message. Lead singer Rob Waller reminds me, in fact, of
Kevin Gilbert
in both the tone of his voice and the nature of the satirical lyrics that he sings. There is no doubt that this band is very opinionated, and they don't hold back in communicating their political views of our modern-day culture.
This album is very short and the sound quality isn't perfect. When listening to this album I imagined myself sitting in a small club, listening to a raw band perform a few unpolished tunes for their unsuspecting audience. The music isn't without its flaws, nothing is musically perfect on this record, but that adds to its charms and allows the listener to focus on the lyrics, which I'm sure are the main focal point for this band.
The music is very simple, often just stripped down to drums and an acoustic guitar or piano. While I prefer my music to have a bit more complexity, I respect the artists' vision and their right to share their message in the way they desire. I would only recommend this to those who like a more basic singer/songwriter approach to their music, with a little bit of odd psychedelia thrown in for flavor.

Vola - Inmazes
Country of Origin:
Year of Release:
Track List:
The Same War (5:10), Stray the Skies (4:13), Starburn (6:05), Owls (5:51), Your Mind is a Helpless Dreamer (5:21), Emily (3:01), Gutter Moon (3:55), A Stare Without Eyes (4:58), Feed the Creatures (5:37), Inmazes (7:29)
is the first full-length album from Danish quartet, Vola. Its release comes four years after their 2011 EP debut,
, and it is immediately clear that the band spent that gap of time wisely.
is not only impeccably produced, it is an album of such extreme range, that it is difficult to categorise. Its captivating mix of metal, electronica and progressive rock is expertly supplemented by lush vocals and strong melodies. The album's ten tracks often combine grinding guitars, heavy percussion and soothing vocals. The results can sometimes be jarring, but somehow it all flows together effectively.
Comparisons can be made to bands like
Porcupine Tree
North Atlantic Oscillation
Pineapple Thief
, and
, but Vola has a sound that is also quite uniquely their own.
The band consists of Nocolai Mogensen (bass), Martin Werner (keyboards), Felix Ewert (drums) and Asger Mygind (vocals). The performances on
are sometimes complex, but the overall results are also quite accessible, to the extent that some listeners may question if Vola is even a prog band. The eclectic nature of the album alone, confirms their progressive credentials, but if you are looking for symphonic epics, they won't be found here.
That said, the band definitely knows how to put a significant amount of twists and turns into a five-minute composition. The quality of the songwriting is truly where
secures its success. Melody is expertly woven into the chaos, and the songs contain choruses that will stick with you. There are occasional moments where the album seems in danger of falling into redundancy, but then the band will surprise you by moving in a direction that you didn't expect.
is an impressive accomplishment by a band that is well worth keeping an eye on. If you like your prog modern, heavy, melodic and accessible, then Vola is for you.

With support from Status of Women Canada, WCT will be facilitating a series of roundtables across the country bringing together Canadian leaders from the communications, media and technology sectors to work together to create a "Blueprint for Women's Leadership in the Digital Economy."
Access the pre-read material here. En Français ici.
WCT Roundtables Blueprint for Women's Leadership
The following video provides all of the information you need to know for WCT's roundtables.
In Canada today, women are significantly underrepresented in the workforce, particularly in senior management positions in the CMT sectors. In fact, according to ICTC, women represent less than 25% of the workforce in this space and the numbers decline with more senior positions. A white paper, Solutions to Women's Advancement by Women of Influence identified that career advancement was the weakest area for career success. Without a focus on gender diversity and the need to advance careers in the CMT sector, smart leaders know that the Canadian economy won't achieve its growth potential. The time for action is now and WCT is invites you to be part of the solution.
The goal of the session is to consult with industry stakeholders, mobilize knowledge sharing and use the discussion input as a component in the development of a blueprint. The resulting "Blueprint for Women's Leadership in the Digital Economy" is intended to be a framework for organizations in the CMT sector to implement to increase the number of women in senior roles and to realize the positive business benefits gained from gender diversity. Increased gender equality at leadership levels will create a sea change for a more diverse workforce in Canada. This is good for business and good for Canada.
Participants will work together to create a framework for advancing female talent in Canada and in the process discuss:
- The current state and maturity level of programs supporting women's career advancement
- The conditions and resources that need to be in place for success
- The most innovative, replicable best practices that return business results
A Successful Outcome
The discussions and conclusions from each roundtable will be summarized and shared with participants. Participants will have access to a summary of the individual roundtable discussions and conclusions as well as an overall summary of the conclusions gathered from across the country. The final output from the consultations will be a framework that organizations can use to assess their diversity leadership and concrete tools to reach a more balanced gender diversity and to realize the associated benefits and profitability.
In five cities across Canada, 35-45 leaders will come together in a 2 hour facilitated consultation that will include a diversity framework co-creation process followed by questions to be explored in participant working groups.
Examples of the topics and questions that will explored by participating leaders include:
- Does your organization have formal or informal career development and advancement programs in place?
- What results are those programs producing?
- What resources were necessary to implement and maintain these programs?
- What mindset, attitudes and communication need to be in place for it to be successful?
With the facilitators, workgroup discussions will be followed by a read out and wrap up of the session.

So in the few days we have been gone. I officially decided. I'm not going to pull for Ava anymore(Unless she 10 pull for some reason). Love her animation but I realized a lot of defense buff medals have been coming out. So in reality she'd be just saving a medal slot and that's it. (And I can always copy someone elses Ava with HD Namine if I really need to)
I decided I will do a couple pulls for Kairi Ex and then have 45kish saved for Ira.
With my HD Namine EA, Ira, and Key Art Sky. I'd get upright 4 on one turn without Kairi Ex. And maxed out upright on the second turn.
So far, the other upright medals have been complete trash. And Ira is also a one hit medal.
(Although if I did get Kairi Ex, I'd have a godly set up because I'd have maxed out buffs with just 2 medals pretty much, and Ira would max out upright at the end)
Only downside is Ira is gonna be a much longer wait than Ava. :(
Great outfits
If you join, PM me with you name or you might absolutely will get pruned.
It broke about a week ago. Not sure if it's everyone or only starts at a certain round,
When does it get broken? I'm at Tier 14, Round 150 and still cruising.
I'm at tier 15 round 544 and the enemy HP tripled after they did an overnight update. The top 100 is locked in for the month because of that (I stayed in 18th place, yay!).
That's why no one in the top ranks are moving anymore if you check them out on the high score boards.
Tier: 7
Attribute: Reverse Power
Gauges: 3
Multiplier: 7.09x ~ 12.54x
Ability: [AOE] Buffs Reverse ATK by 2 tiers for 2 turns. Buffs POWER ATK by 7 tiers for 2 turns. Debuffs the enemiess GDD by 2 tiers for 2 turns. Debuffs the enemies POWER DEF by 2 tiers for 2 turns. Damage increases with more HP.
Hits: 6
Reverse buffs out in JP now. Pretty good medal. Lame it hits so many times though.
Good for proud requirements though, assuming you can get one...

They pulled several times on the twitch stream last night and didn't get a Riku Ex, lol.
The mercy pull is a lot better for Proud quest actually.

Days Black Coat Riku
Tier: 7
Attribute: Upright Magic
Gauges: 4
Multiplier: 8.73x ~ 13.80x
Ability: [AOE] Buffs Upright ATK by 1 tier for 1 turn. Debuffs GDD by 3 tiers for 1 turns. Damage increases when set in Slot 3.
Hits: 8
Does 8 hits, so it might help people stuck on quest 160 and such.
Honestly Ira is also really good, better than Ava depending on what you want.
Definite pass.
Ava EX and Kairi EX are the only worthwhile medals in the foreseeable future, from what I've seen, and those are like, what, 2 months away, give or take?
Ava EX Pros:
1 Should be great for Hade's Quest stuff.
2. Will never need to be revived ever again most likely in multiplayer.
Ira EX Pros:
1. A decent replacement if you can't/don't want to pull for Kairi Ex. (If you have a front and back copy medal. You can get 6 upright on the second turn)
2. Will let you do more damage, so multiplayer stuff will end quicker, and you can get farther in Coliseum.
Sidenote: If someone in your party has Ava Ex, you can always copy her for her def buff stuff. Copying a friend's Ira, wouldn't be anywhere as good.
Falling price deal. Tier 4+ pool. No MERCY!
Tier 4 is the worst part about it imo.

I do think it is funny how mad many people are, even though a lot of people wanted it asap. (Me included, but I was expecting at least tier 5 falling price)
You'll be getting another 10k this weke from bonus jewels.
Gotta pass on this one. I got 10k jewel. You'll probably need 100k to stand a chance. lol Best of luck to everyone.
20k would give you 8-10 pulls or something like that.
Watch this to see her power.
Your 1.6. is Attack Boost 3 Max.
Hmm... I just got my Attack Boost V medal, and it claims it caps at a 54% activation rate. Is that right? Sites claim it goes to 100% at max level, but I don't want to overwrite a 100% 1.6x attack boost for a 54% 2.0x rate.
The attack Boost 5, isn't a max medal. We probably won't get that until December or January.
5 pull mercy in the jp banner!
Edit: That moment when you use brooms on tier 5 and guilt at 98% and 91%. And the 98% stays the same and the 91% goes up to 100% when using more brooms...
I'm holding out for this one, too. It will slot perfectly into my current set-up.

Sora & Riku medal just released, which was originally launched alongside Ava, no? That means Ava should be close. I wonder which Tier 6 mercy they will include with the Foretellers?
I'm assuming there will be no 15 pull mercy or a chance for other older EX medals like there was in JP. :(
Yeah, I caved and wasted everything I had. Gunna buy VIP on Monday and do proud quests for more jewels for another 3 pulls. If nothing than I'm done with pulling until Kairi Tier 8 medal. lol

I had some left over.

Good thing we get 3k a week for free now.
My first kairi ex was when I ran out of jewels for a time so that was my last pull for a bit.
Now I just need to actually get guilt on medals that improves. I got 2 tier 5 guilted on brooms below 100%. Between 2 additional brooms, I got 8% increase.
Sitting on a tier 6 at 116%. Rolled traits on it and got the same %. Got the trait I wanted at least...
Edit: Decided to guilt my trickmaster and roll the guilt 3 times... 90%, 90%, 90%, 90%...

13. Optimize your route.
The less distance you drive, the less gas you use. If you have several stops to make, see how you can route your trip to have the minimum number of miles driven. Keep an eye out for traffic jams, however – often you are better off driving more miles (sometimes even several dozens of miles) than sitting in traffic jams.
14. Consider walking or using a bicycle for short trips,
or use public transportation if convenient and cost effective. Yes, you actually save gas (and money) when you are not using your car.
15. Consider carpooling if possible.
Sure, it's inconvenient sometimes, but it's the single most efficient way to save money on your daily commute.
16. Get a credit card with 5% rebates on gas,
use it for all your fuel purchases and guarantee yourself an automatic 5% savings.

The Hidden Costs of Open-Source Content Management Systems
The last post touched on open-source content management systems' origins and a brief overview of the differences between available technologies. In this post, we will discuss the hidden costs of free open-source software.
Hidden costs… I thought it was free?
Open-source content management systems' hidden costs begin with the "dark side" of the Internet: people trying to spam or to infect users with malware and viruses for their own selfish game. This Star Wars quote pretty much sums it up:
"Again and again the dark side has surged forth, like a storm…devouring whole worlds and entire star systems. Those who mastered dark power became dark power. They unleashed destruction, for no other reason than for selfish gain."
The gain sought in this case is your private information. In order to obtain your info, they need a way to gain access to someone's server or web site where this information is stored. Web sites, compared to servers, are often much easier to hack. And once someone gains access to a web site, they also gain access to site's server. Therefore, for hackers it makes the most sense to go after easily compromised web sites.
Why are web sites hacked?
Consider this scenario: if you were shopping in a run-down, shady-looking store with too-good-to-be-true prices on everything, would you really feel comfortable paying with a credit card? Probably not. Something about that place would just feel wrong enough for you to not make a purchase, or to do so using cash.
Now consider an online store with no cash option, a questionable look and a too-good-to-be-true offer to sell and ship you a brand new computer for $50. All you have to do is fill out your information and enter your credit card number. You would notice the scam and go to an online store you trust. Something this obvious is not an effective way for scammers to steal billing and credit card information. They would spend all their time building new scam websites to trick people.
Scammers get around the trust-barrier by hijacking legitimate web sites with established trust. People don't think twice about entering their information on a trusted web site; and, most of them probably already have an account with their credit card info to speed-up check out. The only thing standing between a potential thief and your customers is… you guessed it, your web site's source code.
To perform their dark magic, all a hacker needs to do is sneak their way past your web site's source code and find a way to run their own code on your server. If a hacker accesses your source code, they can control your web site and server. They can modify your code, redirect your users, ask your visitors to download a PDF containing a virus that will compromise their computer, advertise for knockoff drugs, or spam anyone they want. The worst part… if a hacker manages to pull it off, they get what they wanted and your web site will be the one taking blame.
Your Website, The Proverbial Vault
But don't worry, your new web site has all kinds of built in security right? Logins, passwords, secure databases, SSL certificates, and all sorts of other measures are designed for the sole purpose of keeping those from the dark side out of your web site. These measures are a proverbial bank vault, securing everything that you and your customers hold dear.
You know that your new web site is secured and protected against intrusion… so why all the concern? Remember the open part about open-source… yeah, the source-code for your website – essentially its blueprints – are all over the Internet for anyone to see. The benefit of open-source is that anyone can see the code, understand how it works, and modify it to do what they want. The downside of open-source is that anyone can see the code, understand how it works, and circumvent it to do what they want.
Don't Fret – Just Update
Before you worry too much, let's talk facts. The teams of people who work on the open-source content management systems are constantly receiving, evaluating, and fixing reported security flaws, which could be or have already been exploited by the dark side.
So what's the problem, then? The most secure versions of open-source content management systems are those that are the most up-to-date. Now, be honest with yourself here: do you install the updates each time you see a notification? If you do so, well done. If you don't, you're missing out on the patches for security exploits existing in your open-source content management system and increasing the risk of your site being compromised. Unfortunately, updating your CMS install is never as simple as just clicking a button.
Getting Your Virtual Oil Changed
Updating is part of the problem, but it is not the whole problem. Sometimes the community updating open-source content management systems has to change major functionalities to fix security flaws. When functions change, any plugin or addition to the software that took advantage of the changed function will also need to be updated in order to work properly. Therefore, updating your web site's software is rarely as simple as clicking a single button. Updating is a lengthy process of altering plugins and additions to match the new functionalities of the open-source content management systems' updates.
My point is this: it doesn't matter what we buy, everything comes with an inherent understanding that, at some point, it will break or need to be upgraded. We buy TVs, cell phones, stereo systems, computers, radios, lamps, furniture, beds, and pretty much everything else in our life with the knowledge that we will replace it, fix it, or upgrade it at some point. It doesn't matter if it's a $30 Bluetooth headset, a $30,000 car, or a $300,000 house; we know there will be additional work, time, and/or money to maintain those things down the road.
The inner-workings of your website are not going to catastrophically seize like the pistons in your car will if you never change the oil. However, if you neglect updates and other regular maintenance, your website's performance will degrade over time or break down. Sure, after a break down experts can restore your site to its original glory. But that costs more time, money and headache than it would to be proactive with updating and keeping things current.
100,000 miles and beyond
Leveraging an open-source framework can be the best way to get yourself a feature-rich website that does everything you need without going over budget. Remembering to only use well documented, supported and current open-source technology will allow you to make the most of open-source while keeping you, your developers, and your users safe and happy for the long haul.

Francette Chaperon Rouge is a limited edition play doll made by the traditional French doll making company, Petitcollin. Petitcollin still use old fashioned methods for making dolls and you can see slight joins on Francette's limbs and torso where they have been joined together. She also feels lighter in weight than modern day vinyl dolls.
Francette originates from 1958 from the French Women's magazine Modes & Travaux. Francette Chaperon Rouge has been designed by Nathalie Lete, a Parisian artist who is inspired by many things including vintage toys and folk art.
Francette has blue inset eyes and long brown hair with a fringe, which she wears in plaits tied with white ribbon. She wears a short sleeved white shirt with a peter pan style collar and a red fleece pinafore over the top. The dress is trimmed with ivory ric-rac braid around the neck and hem and has a cream satin bow on the front. Francette's hooded cape is also trimmed with ric rac braid and ties at the neck with a red ribbon. On her feet Francette wears red slip on shoes with a little bow on the front of each.
Francette would make a lovely gift for a fairy tale loving little girl.
Made in France.
Gorgeous doll. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition, now I just have to wait for my daughters birthday. I know she will be thrilled.
The body of this doll can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a little mild detergent if required. The body should not be immersed in water as this will rot the elastic holding the limbs onto the body.
The hair can be carefully washed using a mild shampoo taking care not to create tangles.
The dolls clothes can be hand washed using a mild detergent in warm water. Do not tumble dry but dry flat, smoothing out creases whilst damp. Iron using a cool iron if needed.

Just sitting enjoying some "Firstie" Company for lunch today!!! This week I am busy DRA testing and with no assistance in the classroom for me to pull my students out one on one to test them, I decided to get creative!!!! It's amazing what Firsties will do for a little treat....they didn't know that they would get to each lunch in the room with the teacher while watching a little animal movie!! Boy, were they excited!! It has been a nice, quiet lunch....all I am hearing is a little wrapper rattling and giggles at the animal movie playing on the smart board:) Oh, and by the way,...the animal movie fits right into our plants and animals theme for the week!!! They can use what they've learned from the film in their writing and science centers!
Wondering what all of my creative "Bloggy Teacher" friends use to keep their students on task during testing periods.....leave me a "Rockin" note....I love finding new ways to Keep Calm & Teach On!!!!

UltraStar is a free software and open source clone of the famous SingStar music video game (sometimes also referred to as rhythm video games), licensed under the GNU General Public License. UltraStar allows one to add one's own songs in the forms of MP3 audio format along with a text file, making it relatively easy to add one's own MP3 collection to the game. Videos and pictures can also be added in the form of album covers and backgrounds.The UltraStar songs consist of plain text file that describes which other files to use (music, video, background image, cover image) and various settings. After the header, the file lists all the notes of the song with their lyrics (beginning beat, duration, pitch, syllable). Unfortunately, there is no complete written documentation for the format, so developers of UltraStar projects just have to look at each-others' source code or reverse engineer the format from the song files floating around the net. This file format is supported by all UltraStar projects.The UltraStar game comes preloaded with a short sample from Jamelia's hit Superstar (it does not contain the music-video for that song, only a white background is displayed). Any music, lyrics, pictures and videos can be easily added to bring a lot of fun into the lounge room. All that is required is a microphone and the software installed on a computer.The original UltraStar is programmed in Kylix/Delphi and made for Microsoft Windows operating-system.

Product Description
A dark green rosette of blistered large leaves produced in abundance and slow to bolt (run to seed) if kept moist. Nutritious vegetable, usually cooked but can be eaten raw as 'baby leaf'.Sowing Instructions
Rich, fertile, moisture retentive soil with plenty of well-rotted manure or compost incorporated is important to produce an abundance of tasty leaves and to prevent bolting (running to seed). For summer crops, a position shaded from the sun for at least part of the day is preferred. Avoid sowing during the hottest month of July. For outdoor sowings, sow from March to June, earlier sowings under glass or cloches, and mid August and September. Sowings in pots on the windowsill can be done throughout the year. Sow thinly, 13mm deep, in broad drills and in succession to allow for continuous cropping and suppression of weeds. This crop is ideal for intercropping between long standing crops.Growing Instructions
During warm dry spells watering may be necessary twice a day, morning and evening.
All year round

"Would you be interested in doing any of your concepts/characters as a 13 x4 inch weekly strip, for the better part of a year to try to build something online with other like minded individuals?"
This pretty much lays out the preliminary requirements of what's being asked of the creators that have been invited to participate in a bold new online endeavor. The name of this endeavor is ScriptGraphics / ADAPT™.
ScriptGraphics / Allied Digital Artists Partnership Teams™ / The ADAPT™ Project
"I'm attempting to get something started to re-ignite the fan friendly atmosphere that used to be a part of the fanzine groups I belonged to. This time, I want to do it for the web.
I'm a firm believer that if a creator creates, things will happen. To give you an example of that, Doug Freeman was doing a five page story called 'Crimson Knights'. He was one and a half pages from completing it but stopped. He'd penciled it all but only inked three and a half pages in no particular order and had gaps in the pages he did ink. Michael Reed, an artist on Team ScriptGraphics suggested we download the scans and complete it for him. We did and sent it to him asking if we could post it online. He said sure and within four months we were asked if we would like it to be printed in a publication. Doug said hell yes, Michael agreed and I surely didn't mind.
Keep in mind that whatever you do as part of this online undertaking is for you. Your doing, or not doing, is up to you. I can only guarantee this: if you are consistent and the story you tell captures the imagination of the audience at large, you'll build a fan base and that could translate to book sales if you ever decide to publish them. It could also translate to sales for other things you're doing outside of this. Most creators try to do a little here and a little there and expect to be in demand. Not going to happen that way. We only offer an opportunity for you to be part of a group and not have to go it alone. Safety in numbers and hopefully, competition that will push you to your best work ever. Additionally, I'm hoping to re-create the connectedness that I loved about fandom when I first got involved. If that gets accomplished, everything else will be gravy." - Darrell Goza
If you can't, or don't think you can do a weekly 13 x 4 inch strip, do it for at least a year, and make it 'all ages' friendly, as this is being built from the ground up, then you can't do this. Don't try. If any one of the spec conditions can't be met or you don't think you'd want to do any of them, you can't do this. The first lesson to be learned here is to be honest with yourself. (Take the 'now to Feb. 15th date to see if you can get what needs to be done, done. That's the truest test of your capacity and ability to do this kind of comics. In this you can't fail because you'll gain valuable knowledge about your work ethic!)
[ Of course, if you've never tried to do it you don't have any real idea of what you're capable of, so trying it is the only way you'll truly know. As my martial arts instructor used to say: Nothing beats a try but a failure and you never know if you'll fail until you try! So try already, you loose nothing in the trying...]
"All ages" friendly means just that, kids of any age can read it and parents will let them without any fear that the reading child will be traumatized by overt sexuality, brutal or shocking kill scenes or volumes of blood, gore or ripped entrails or things like that. This is non-negotiable. Comic art and story trade craft is a skill that isn't dependent on shock or gore. Either you're good at telling a story or you're not.
Alfred Hitchcock did a horrific shower killing scene in Psycho which shook the nation but didn't show one impact strike. Kirby and Lee's Fantastic Four or Thor had a lot of pathos and (highly exciting) fighting in their books but none of it was blatantly offensive. We're looking for those kinds of inventive creators. The ones that can make the point without stooping to the lowest visual form to getting there.
We take no ownership of your characters. What we do is have creators join us online so we can take on the web as a group. Individuals own their own work. We just believe there's power in numbers and know that's a truth in comic publishing by the fact that all companies do multiple titles. This allows for the greatest amount of diversity and therefore the greatest chance you'll be seen. We standardize the form to level the playing field so everyone's look is consistent for The Project.
The initial 15 installments of your strip are required first for consideration into this endeavor. Again, we're looking for creators willing to commit to something they already say they want to do. Doing a strip a week means committing about 20 to 30 minutes a day to do a strip a week. (That even gives you the weekends off! Of course you could do it on a weekends and have the week off, your choice). We find this method of operating to be doable without causing additional stress or take you from whatever else may be going on in your life.
"It's open to whatever genre you decide to do; superheroes, fantasy, crime noir, etc. Only three things have to be adhered to: it must be "all ages" friendly, done weekly for a year and be landscape view, and 13 x 4 inches size."
What you do within the 13 x 4 inch format us up to you. For example, you can use all prose if you like or make it all images without text. Do it in color, black and white or painted if you like. How about a combination of them all? Certainly! You are the creator; create!
If you don't have access to a scanner that'll scan 13 x 4 inch art, scan it in sections. We've also found that type should be at least 13 points or larger for viewing online. Have some fun in creating what you create. Check out some of the other creators work and feel free to interact with the other creators: http://is.gd/TY0Q51
Some things to consider while here:
This is not a job. It's not a paid position. It's design is to help you develop a web presence and build a backlog of material. You can leverage that against the fans you gain above what you already do and that should help you with sales as you'll be seen each and every week, strengthening your position online, and with a little luck, get to be better known through the endeavor.
This is not a collective or co-op and we are not a group. We're coming together because we have a similar purpose in creating great comics content. If you've been invited, your work has been seen and the inviting member of Team ScriptGraphics feels you'd be a good fit for this project. Outside of the things we ask for in the invitation, there's only one other thing we'd like you to do: complete what you start. This year we're opening it up to members of the groups we're a part of online or have met at various shows and comic cons too!
You don't work for me or ScriptGraphics. You work for yourself, but by allying yourself in this project we'll create a different kind of brand for online strips. Think 60's and early 70's Kirby Thor and Fantastic Four comics done with a 2016/2017 technical and digital assist. You own your work and can use it as you see fit in any way additional to what you do for yourself through us. We're hoping that by being in a diverse and creatively inventive group you'll be inspired to do your best work ever. (Please note, I know some invited creators are already motivated to do their best work. Use this opportunity to take some chances you might not ordinarily take doing work for someone else. Feel free to push your own personal boundaries!)
We're not looking to 'team' creators or assign stories to them, tho some of you may connect with others herein and get involved that way. We're looking for self generated stuff that's in and of itself pre-created. What that means is if you have something you want to wow the world with or just a great story you'd like to tell: Do it. We want to re-create the environment of independent co-joined effort to a singular purpose. That goal: can a group of creators of their own accord, create and stay unified and motivated in that creating, and do it consistently over time.
First and foremost we're looking for what you have to say with your creative voice. Team ScriptGraphics members all have their own voices for a wide variety of story concepts. I personally like science fiction or the human drama. What do you like that you'd want others to see? Commit to it and do it.
You need a cover page to start the strip (see my examples below) and a logo with whatever creators are involved in the production of your strip. The logo should carry over and be on each strip. I'd also suggest having the © symbol and date, along with the creators name somewhere on each strip.
Examples can be found at: http://is.gd/TY0Q51
ALL THOSE COMMITTING TO THIS PROJECT - Your cover page and 15 preliminary strips should be in by Feb. 1, 2016 (Aug. 1st for mid year invitees), with a brief synopsis of what you'd like to do. Understand that we know projects change or sometimes take on a life of their own over the life of the project. This is to be expected in a vibrant and creative environment. Just give a brief overview of what you're starting with for now. That will suffice.
SEND A PICTURE OF YOURSELF (3 inch by 3 inch or larger, 300 dpi) that can be used for promoting what you'll be doing with us. A brief (one or two paragraphs) bio wouldn't hurt either. This should be sent as soon as you read this so we can set up a digital folder for you and your work. You should also send snail mail contact info, email contact info and a phone number where you can be reached.
Again, see: http://is.gd/TY0Q51 for examples of the cover page and how the write-ups are handled. Click any cover page to see how a bio page will look when you send your info.
We've set up two sites for creators who join us in this project. One will only be accessible by the creators that are a part of this and be used for making connections between the creators involved. It's where we'll get to interact directly with each other. This will be our personal friendship and sharing space.
The second site is where we'll actually post the strips for viewing. This is where we get to wow not only your potential fan base but each other (so bring your 'A' game).
"As a member of a couple of fanzine groups, I remember trading publications and sharing artwork for publications we traded between ourselves. As we saw what other creators were doing, we were inspired to do better. My hope is that THAT mechanism can be re-created in this creative online endeavor." - Darrell Goza
Over the two years we've been doing The ADAPT™ Project the participants have grown their audience from 1800 viewers on some sporadic strips to a whopping 3000 per strip for participants that haven't missed a deadline. Not all strips tap in at the higher end but all are doing pretty good. With the internet all things are possible and this year we're aiming our sights on 10, 000 viewers per strip. Lofty? perhaps. Possible? Absolutely!

After being inspired by my friend Tyler and one of my favorite blog post of the week Fortuitous Bouncing I have decided to follow up the tradition and give you some stuff to read on this boring Saturday. Because I do not know if you are like me, but it seems like Saturdays are made for reading and being lazy. Let me feed this habit and check out some of the best things I have read all week.
This is Reading with Reed (get it, my last name is Reed. Ya I am that clever)
- Charles Lee had a great post about TRAVEL TIPS. Seeing that he and others that commented on his blog travel a lot, this post was very interesting and I gained some insights for the one time a year I fly.
- Tony Steward has started blogging again, and man am I happy that he has. This week he talked about SEEDLESS GRAPES AND THE WAY THEY CAN KILL.
- Donald Miller gave some food for thought to leaders. This is something that I really struggle with myself, so it was a great read for me. LEADERS AREN'T CYNICAL, THE CHARACTER TRAIT THAT COULD BE HOLDING YOU BACK
- Matthew Costner talked about PARADISE and I could not help but get excited.
This highlights the post that was read the most by you the reader this week on Thoughts About Nothing*com


text: So, 4.1 came out. I've seen a lot of people asking honest questions about it and, I've seen a lot of a-holes on here giving them the run around. I want to play Wii Sports Resort so, yes, this update is important to me. The question is, is it safe to update to 4.1? Can I update through Nintendo or is there some other way that could potentially be safer? I've checked the other threads so please, don't give me that crap. The only thing I've seen that remotely resembles an answer is people worried about pre-loader or cioscorp. That's fantastic if you use those, I don't. I'm on cios10 with, as far as I know, all the ios files. I have no idea if they're trucha bugged and, I honestly don't know if that's important. Could you please help me? I don't want to sound too hateful here but, you guys are really bad for answering the questions that pertain to certain situation then, assuming that everyone can just figure it out from there.

Tree at my window, window tree,
My sash is lowered when night comes on;
But let there never be curtain drawn
Between you and me.
Vague dream-head lifted out of the ground,
And thing next most diffuse to cloud,
Not all your light tongues talking aloud
Could be profound.
But tree, I have seen you taken and tossed,
And if you have seen me when I slept,
You have seen me when I was taken and swept
And all but lost.
That day she put our heads together,
Fate had her imagination about her,
Your head so much concerned with outer,
Mine with inner, weather.
Poems are below...
Provide your analysis, explanation, meaning, interpretation, and comments on the poem Tree At My Window here.


text: Jay12, Mower is completely serviced and ready to work. I'll figure out the price for both decks and get that to you. Armsden, Generally speaking, to a point the more weight out front, the better it will do on hills. 52 belt drive is awesome. It has higher tip speed that the gear driven side discharge decks and with the mulching double blades from the mulch kit run without the mulching baffles there is nothing of any length coming out the discharge. Very nice cut. On the 52" GHS, it will typically only clog if the operator is trying to push it to fast in the early morning dew. Really isn't a significant issue though. The reverse rotation of the the blades on this deck act to cut the grass finer before entering the blower, thus packing more into the hopper before having to dump. We liked it because we could run the same stripes bagging or side discharging.

Posts Tagged With Dominance and submission
Domination is a more common sexual fetish than many people thin. But consider this. From time to time we all like someone else to take control in the bedroom and even a little bit of forceful direction is one form of domination. That in itself does not make it a fetish but it does illustrate the subtle ways in which domination can influence all our love play.
Of course what people would regard as true domination, the classical dominant controlling the sexual scenes, directing, restraining, maybe even punishing a partner is inextricably bound up with BDSM. So if you like a little domination, to dominate or to be dominated read some of the posts below.

Ruminating about the label of Little and how it fits into my new relationship
Trying to puzzle out why I have a hard time writing about my new relationship.
In this last part of our first date with the talker you read more about anal play, bondage, me being fucked and swallowing twice in less than five minutes.
We broke the puzzle and rebuild it, only to realize it was perfect the way it was before. We have come full circle with our D/s relationship.
The story of our date with The Talker continues. There was a leather strap, a special whip, marks, hair pulling and of course the Doxy.

Scott Stossel's new book, My Age of Anxiety, begins with the story of his wedding day. "Standing at the altar in a church in Vermont, waiting for my wife-to-be to come down the aisle to marry me, I start to feel horribly ill," he writes. "Not just vaguely queasy, but severely nauseated and shaky – and, most of all sweaty." The feeling escalates to such an extent that he worries he will not survive the ceremony. "For the next seventy-two hours, I endure a brutal, self-lacerating despair."
This is not the first time anxiety has got the better of Stossel, now editor of the American magazine The Atlantic, and neither will it be the last. The book that follows combines a lifetime's worth of anxiety-related anecdotes (his first encounter with a psychotherapist came at the age of ten) with a wider study of the condition, taking in the writings of Freud, Hippocrates and a sober look at the modern pharmaceuticals industry.
The stories from his own life are by turn awful and hilarious, propelling us through 400 pages of what would otherwise – by the author's admission – be a fairly dry study of the condition. Stossel's most acute fear is of vomiting, or emetophobia: "I have spent, by rough calculation, at least 60 per cent of my waking life thinking about and worrying about something that I have spent 0 per cent of the last three-plus decades doing." One therapist makes him combat this fear head-on by giving him a drug which will force him to vomit, but all he can do is dry retch and he drives home anxious that he will throw up and crash his car.
The book is also a catalogue of the ways Stossel has tried to calm this anxiety, including countless types of therapy, prescription drugs and a fair amount of strong alcohol to steady his nerves before public appearances. After compiling an absurdly long list of the methods he has used at one time or another, Stossel writes, "Here's what's worked: nothing". Yet the book's conclusion is that anxiety can be a positive force if only it can be managed.
"Being intelligent and successful often goes hand in hand with being an anxious person," Stossel tells me from the US, where he is currently touring to promote the book. "I'm not sure exactly why this is but it probably has something to do with being more sensitive, more socially intuitive, being more of the mindset to anticipate negative outcomes so you can do something to avoid them." He talks about a "bell curve" of anxiety, with lack of anxiety to the left, excess anxiety to the right and the amount we need for peak performance in the middle – and admits he would not want to lose his anxiety completely for fear of losing his personality.
But staying at the peak of this bell curve without tumbling to the right is easier said than done and – while few may suffer from anxiety as acute as Stossel's – it is a struggle that increasing numbers of us are engaged in. A 2009 Mental Health Foundation report found 15 per cent of people in the UK suffer from an anxiety disorder and rates are increasing, while 37 per cent of British people say they feel more frightened than they used to.
I ask whether he feels people really are more anxious than ever, or whether we are simply more willing to talk about it – or doctors are quicker to give worry a medical label.
"Every era in history seems to presume that it was the most anxious ever," Stossel says. "But I think there are certain eras that tend to generate more anxiety. I think the current era is one of these because of the rampant uncertainty around: there's a long-term shaky economy and global terrorism. There's the media, where you're hearing about scary things all over the place even if they're unlikely to happen to you.
"There's also the rapid pace of technological change. On social media you always need to have a personal brand, you have to be marketing yourself in a way that may not correspond with your true self." And then there's the level of economic and political choice, unknown to almost every previous generation, which liberates and suffocates us in equal measure: where to study, what line of profession to pursue, who to marry, which cereal to buy.
While the drugs, booze and therapy only ever temporarily assuaged Stossel's own anxiety, he ends his study of the condition with the reflection: "Maybe finishing this book and publishing it – and yes, admitting my shame and fear to the world – will be empowering and anxiety reducing."
So has this had the desired effect, now that he is faced with a round of anxiety-inducing public appearances to promote the finished product? "The jury's still out … I'm hoping that in the fullness of time this will prove to be therapeutic and maybe even 'the cure' for me, but I doubt it. Men in particular do have a difficulty talking about anxiety. I hope books like this will allow people to appreciate anxiety and not judge me as an inferior male."
My Age of Anxiety is available in hardback now from William Heinemann, priced £20

As you may know, Sandrine's is having a different $10 special every month to celebrate their 10 years in business. We went earlier this year for the flammekuche w/ glass of wine and checked it out again on Fri. for the cheese plate w/ wine. I'm not a huge cheesehead but these were excellent. A roquefurt, a gruyere type cheese but stronger and a goat type cheese maybe. Served with some fig, a bit of fruit, great grilled raisin bread, and the normal bread basket, with a tiny glass of sauvignon blanc or red that I can't remember. We also split the traditional flammekuche (bacon and caramelized onions) and could watch them being made from our seats at the bar. The woman overheard us talking about football and joined in cuz my friend likes the Steelers and she's from outside Pittsburgh. We started talking and reaped the benefits from a wrong order, so got a mistake of a flammekuche w/ mushrooms and onions. I asked if the flammekuchen were her raison d'etre and she said she was the pastry chef and stuck making those. When my friend ordered dessert, I noticed on the menu that the pastry chef was Lee Napoli who I feel like I know after reading about her so much, so it was cool talking to her. Will look forward to their specials in the months ahead.
Stopped by Louie's ice cream on my way back from the beach yesterday and will recommend it yet again. I'm like a broken record about this place, but they have a ton of flavors, huge cones (I had to have him change it to a kiddie cone cuz the small was too much in general and esp. on a hot day when it'd melt so fast) and great prices. The grapenut felt like the best I'd ever had. They also have soft serve and Italian ice. It's on Broadway right by McGrath Hwy, by all the gas stations with gas for only $2.95.
I noticed a newish Brazilian place across the street, Pastelria or something like that.
