It's that time of year again. The one where you go home and realize that you're going to be spending a really long weekend in your old room with a twin bed in it. Or, worse, a room that was your old room, but your parents turned into a "guest room" after you moved out. How to cope? For most of us, the answer is Thanksgiving movies to stream that everyone can enjoy! (Or at least keep that uncle of yours from praising Trump for the next two hours, and grandma from asking about what nice young significant others might be on the horizon.)
It used to be that Thanksgiving was limited to whatever the channels felt like playing. So if it was that episode of WKRP in Cincinatti, that was that. (You know the one, "As god as my witness, etc.") Thankfully, with all the thousands of ways to stream movies nowadays, we can put on the exact right movie at the right time, in order to have all those holiday feels before the turkey's served.
Here are our top five Thanksgiving movies recommendations this holiday season.
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
This 1980s-era comedy stars John Candy in his prime, as a hapless salesman of shower curtain rings (of all things.) He's teamed up with the iconic Steve Martin, who plays a high strung executive. Together, the two of them battle their way home over a three-day marathon to arrive in time for Thanksgiving with their families.
Last year, Comedy Central played this movie for hours straight on Thanksgiving. This year, you don't have to worry about waiting around. It's available on VUDU and Amazon Prime to stream anytime.
Pieces of April
Before she was Mrs. Tom Cruise, and way before she became the only woman to successfully divorce Tom Cruise and keep her daughter, Katie Holmes had a heck of an acting career going for herself. After her run on Dawson's Creek ended in 2003, she made the movie Pieces of April, a Thanksgiving comedy-drama. In it, she stars as April Burns, a young 20-something living in a tiny squat tenement on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Despite having barely any kitchen and even less room, she invites her whole family up for Thanksgiving, since her mother is dying of breast cancer, and it will probably be her last. It, too, is available on Amazon Prime, for those who subscribe, or on VUDU to those looking for the alternative.
The House of Yes
This is one for those who love 1980s period pieces. Set at Thanksgiving 1983, this movie stars Parker Posey and Josh Hamilton along with some *very* 90s throwbacks including Freddie Prinze Jr. and Tori Spelling. Ostensibly, the plot is about Marty (Hamilton) bringing home his extremely normal girlfriend Lesly, played by Spelling, to meet his family.
In reality, it's a tour de force by Parker, who, as Jackie O, Marty's sister with Borderline Personality Disorder, runs the house with her insanity. I don't want to give any spoilers away, but this is a dark, black comedy, the type of thing you want to watch when you need to be reminded that your own really isn't so bad after all.
This one isn't streaming free, you'll have to pay $1.99, but the laughs are worth it. Try it on YouTube or Amazon Rentals.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
Do I really have to explain A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving? Lucy and the football, Linus and the gang, Peppermint Patty inviting herself over and Chuck unable to say no. Two Thanksgiving dinners and neither of them go well. The cartoon is only 25 minutes but it's a holiday classic, the kind that's been playing so long, everyone can be nostalgic about it.
The entire 25 minutes is available on Daily Motion for free right here.
Miracle on 34th Street
And when you're done with dinner, it's time for the grand tradition for everyone this holiday season, the 1947 film, Miracle on 34th Street. It's technically a Christmas story, but it's set between Thanksgiving and Christmas, which is why it's a post dinner tradition that should never be forgotten. After all, what better things do you have to do than debate if that really was Santa the whole time?
It's available streaming on Amazon Rentals and VUDU for $2.99.

The sacral chakra is the creative space for your energy and is reflected in all areas of your life. As the energy flows through your chakras, the sacral chakra, drives the force of passion by opening doorways to experiences which reflect this passion and build on it and show the world who you are.
You are a sensitive soul at times, and build a brighter light by following your purpose, your calling, your reason for getting up to watch the sunrise or explore the new adventures which are waiting for you.
When you tap into your sacral chakra, you are digging deep into the emotional body of who you are as a soul, but also who you would like to be in this life, as a radiant joy, as a beaming candle, as a mentor for others to show how they may also follow what brings them that infinite state of joy.
Who you are is not what you see, it's what you feel. It's what you know when you have investigated all of the things in this life which interest you and bring you excitement as though you are a kid in a candy store.
When you are led by the energy of your sacral chakra, there is a sensual dance that comes to life within you. It allows the kundalini energy to begin to rise to your solar plexus, your powerhouse, and turn those wheels toward the fortune of success and abundance.
When you allow yourself to feel through your sacral chakra, you open your energy to not only feeling what is coming towards you from spirit and from other souls, but also to release that which no longer needs to be a part of your world.
In that releasing, you may feel that deeper shift, that need to cry or to feel as though you have been broken into a million pieces, but that release is needed and it is not to tell you that you are weak or broken, for you are really none of those at all.
You are healed in that release.
You are healed the moment you let go. The moment you shed a tear, one, two, or many more, you let go long enough to see the real you and to know that even though you may have walked a difficult journey in this life, know that you survived, and you still have that passion intact.
Nothing can take that away. That is your gift from the universe because the universe wants you to be happy and share this happiness with others and to live from the full expression of your creative power.
Creativity is not just for those who are artists or writers or any number of activities, hobbies, and careers that connect deeply to that creative mode. Your sacral chakra is the creative force for many areas of your life, and allowing that energy to flow through strongly, brings an elevated level of your true expression. Creativity is simply thinking and feeling beyond your physical form.
The sacral chakra allows you to connect an energetic lifeline to this power within you. When you are searching for a new perspective, a unique answer to a circumstance, or the inspiration for your next step in life, attune your energy to the sacral chakra, meditate within this space, and really listen to what is being said and what you are feeling.
Led by passion, catapulted by purpose, your sacral chakra awaits what is next for you to experience, what next dance you choose, where your energy will take you. It is the random mysteries of life, the surprises along the way, and the playfulness of letting go which nourish your sacral chakra and allow you to breathe in the biggest breath of life.

Ready to take your spray tan to the next level? Here are your top 10 questions about spray tan tricks and techniques, answered!
What is quick contour?
Quick contour is a technique that accents the collarbones, cleavage, stomach, arms and legs. It takes about an extra two minutes and it gives the illusion of a more-toned body by reducing the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks and imperfections.
Do I have to be fit to try body contouring?
No. We can contour any body type. The key is to define what's already there rather than "draw on" abs or create lines that look unnatural.
What is semi-permanent face contouring?
The spray tan artist will contour your cheeks and forehead with a fine mist after spraying the face. This look will last for three to five days. It's perfect with no makeup, or it will pop through your regular foundation for a more natural, contoured look.
What is 3D tanning?
Using advanced techniques, the spray tan artist can
define every muscle in your body using a small airbrushing compressor for precision and attention to detail. It's all in the shading. This is more of an art and is usually only offered by advanced technicians. This process can take up to an additional 20 minutes.
If I could only use one product after my tan, what should it be?
It should be coconut oil! Simple and pure, coconut oil has only one ingredient and it can also double as an eye makeup remover without removing your tan! It also has an SPF value of four per cent. Coconut oil will help your tan last longer and fade evenly.
What if I don't want to sit in a spray tan for 24 hours?
Try the express tan, which allows you to shower in as little as two hours for a light tan, three hours for a medium tan and four hours for a dark tan. Express tan is great for last-minute events,
breastfeeding moms, busy people and people who don't like to sleep in a spray tan.
What is"baking" your spray tan?
Using a finishing powder to "bake" your spray tan is the icing on the cake! This immediately diminishes the feeling of an uncomfortable, sticky tan. It sets the tan and allows you to put your clothes back on immediately and usually smells delicious. Using a talc-free option is a must!
Quick tip: Drink water for a better spray tan.
Keeping yourself hydrated keeps your skin stay hydrated and helps you achieve a longer lasting, more even tan.
How can you stretch your spray tan?
Proper exfoliation 24 hours before your spraytan works wonders. Make sure your last tan is completely gone before reapplying, eliminate sulphates from shampoos, don't take baths and use an all-natural moisturizer (coconut oil is great). You can also use an excellent tan extender product in between tans.
How can you keep yourself glowing in all seasons?
Just like you change your hair colour, makeup choices and clothing, you should readjust your shade of tan to flow with the seasons. In fall/winter, make use of the lighter tones. Choose something to take the edge off and give yourself a natural glow but nothing too drastic. In spring/summer, opt for a deeper, darker colour.
Nicole Hyatt is CEO of Tan on the Run, a mobile airbrush tan and spray-tanning salon in Toronto.

WASHINGTON - The global economy is expected to expand to a 3.6 percent annual rate this year, up from last year's rate of 3.2 percent.
Tuesday's assessment comes from the International Monetary Fund as economic officials from the World Bank and nations around the world gather to discuss growth, jobs, worries, ideas, and pleas for action this week in Washington.
The global lender's experts say improving investment, industrial production, business and consumer confidence are helping economic expansion. The IMF says advanced nations, including the United States, will grow more slowly than developing countries.
The report puts U.S. economic expansion at 2.2 percent this year, up from 2016. IMF experts say future U.S. growth is uncertain because proposals to cut taxes and regulations and boost spending on infrastructure have not yet made their way through a divided legislature.
The outlook for China has been cut slightly, but remains strong at 6.8 percent this year.
The economy in sub-Saharan-Africa is expected to reach a 2.6 percent annual growth rate this year, and 3.4 percent next year. That is a little slower than earlier projections.
IMF officials say national leaders need to make reforms now "while times are good." They urge efforts to boost potential output, reduce inequality, and make national economies more resilient. The global lender also calls on advanced economies to keep interest rates low, at least until inflation begins to rise, and work to strengthen international economic cooperation.
The economic experts warn that commercial credit problems in China, faster interest rate increases in advanced nations, or a drastic rollback of rules intended to prevent another financial crisis could derail economic growth.

Russ Penn on Spennymoor: "You can't switch off for one minute in this game."
By Matty Paddock - 30/09/2019
Posted 1 year ago
RUSS Penn admitted Harriers were victim of some self-inflicted wounds in falling to a late 2-1 defeat to Spennymoor on Saturday.
The Reds had been in front at The Brewery Field through an Ashley Chambers goal.
Tow goals at either end of the second period, however, turned the game in the home side's favour and left the visitors empty-handed.
Speaking after the game, the Aggborough assistant boss bemoaned the age-old cliché of a game of two halves.
"You make your own luck in these games; it's extremely disappointing," he reflected.
"I thought we were brilliant in the first half and managed the game well.
"Our decision making in the second half was poor, and that's what effectively cost us the game…"
"We were up for the fight and were the only team playing football. The second half just shows you where we are as a group at the moment [with] our game management when the chips are down, and the pressure is on.
"I never felt in danger, but you can't switch off for one minute in this game. We know the level very well, and the 91st-minute is a real sickener.
"We put ourselves in that situation – we were on the attack in the final third and, then, ten seconds later we're 2-1 down.
"Our decision making in the second half was poor, and that's what effectively cost us the game."

We are very pleased to announce that two DDSD teachers were recognized by the OnPoint's Prize for Excellence in Education – Educator of the Year contest!
Francesca Aultman, a fifth grade teacher at Gilbert Heights, was named the K-8 Educator of the Year. Michelle Colbert, an art teacher at Fir Ridge Campus, was awarded the Circle of Excellence.
Our David Douglas community is very lucky to have these two stars working in our district. Thank you Francesca and Michelle for all you do for our students!
Francesca Aultman – Educator of the Year (K-8)
On May 21 Francesca was named the K-8 Educator of the year! As the winner, OnPoint will pay her mortgages for one full year and donate $2,500 to Gilbert Heights Elementary.
"I see it as a privilege to work with students and families from all over the world who exemplify strength, resilience, the importance of community and resourcefulness. Most days, I'm sure my students teach me more than I do them! I can honestly say I grow to love each and every one of my students. I miss them on the weekends, I think of them over breaks, I keep my fridge and cabinets stocked with little snacks for when I see them fading, I cheer them on in their successes and I mourn with them when they need it. They are truly a daily blessing in my life."
– Francesca Aultman
"Francesca meets the needs of all her students so that they can grow. She looks carefully at each student to determine what will move that student forward in his or her social, emotional, and academic development. Then, she does everything in her power to apply the "just right" strategy, resource, or approach to make the magic happen for that kid."
– Shane M. Bassett, Principal, Gilbert Heights Elementary School
"For the past three years, I have witnessed Mrs. Aultman literally change the trajectory of students' lives for the better through her commitment to her craft. She dreams BIG for them and shows them the steps they need to take in order to achieve goals."
– Sody Puth Fearn, Title 1 Reading Specialist, Gilbert Heights Elementary
Francesca understands the centrality of positive human relationship to success as an educator. She has been an early and expert implementer of Community Circles, which is a strategy that she uses to ensure that her students are socially and emotionally centered each morning and throughout the day. She has also shifted her curriculum to reflect the diverse student groups she works with through incorporating texts such an Esperanza Rising and lessons that are relevant to students and their experiences. During the most recent school year 89% of her student passed the SBAC English Language Arts test and she has demonstrated a track record of above average student growth for both gifted and struggling students. She sits on several school improvement teams and has served as a member of Gilbert Height's Building Leadership Team, 21st Century Site Council, Student Intervention Team, and Core Literacy Team.
Michelle Colbert – Circle Of Excellence Recipient
Circle of Excellence recipients educators will receive a $1,500 cash award plus a $1,000 donation for their schools.
"Michelle Colbert is a highly valued teaching member of our building. Her assignment has been an art teacher but by only saying she is an art teacher does not give her the justice she deserves. Michelle is, in my opinion, a truly gifted educator. She quickly develops a good rapport with her students, establishes solid routines and inspires her students not only through her teachings of art but through the personal conversations she has with each of them.
She takes an active interest in the well-being of each of her students. Her students respond to her engaging approach to education and genuine interest in them. Under Michelle's guidance and encouragement, her students consistently find their self-worth as well as their inner artist.
Over the last two years, Michelle has started a Career Technical Education (CTE) program at our school. This provides students of all ages with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners. She coined the phrase, "Pathways Out of Poverty" and given our student population, it stands true. She inspires them to look beyond their current standard of life and to know that today does not have to be the same as yesterday."
– Amy Straw, Principal, Fir Ridge Campus
Michelle engages students through art and honors their voices through a variety of original and engaging projects. Her class gives each student the opportunity to express themselves by talking about real issues they are facing in a safe and supportive environment. One of her standout lessons is a Micro-Aggression Awareness Program that give students a chance to reflect on their own experiences with micro-aggressions through art. Through her Industrial Arts program students also gain exposure to a variety of different trades and trade skills. They learn 3-D printing and CAD, CNC machining, laser engraving, robotics and electrical engineering, circuit boarding, graphic design, woodworking, and each student learns how to manufacture their very own skateboard. Michelle also facilitates a Students Showcase, which is a talent show, art show and poetry slam and runs an after school art club.

South Korea New Rules Attracts Intl Students
In the recent years, South Korea has become an ideal destination for international students to study, especially those from Asia. International students have to acquire the D-4-1 visa aka student visa to study in the Asian nation. However, the Justice Ministry announced that rules will be tightened after they review them in March 2018.
According to the new rules, international students who have only 70 percent or lesser attendance in two consecutive semesters or 50 percent of lesser attendance in one semester will not be eligible to extend their student visas. Also, students that have longer vacation periods will only be eligible for a one-month extension. The rules were tightened because many people continue to work illegally in South Korea after their visa expires. Stricter rules mean there will be stricter checks as well, so these international students won't dare to stay in the country after the visa expiry.
Also, it would be challenging for people who come on short-term visas to get transferred on a student visa after coming to South Korea. The country released a list of 21 countries that won't be allowed to convert short-term visa into study visa. On the other hand, the South Korean government will be extending the D-2-7 visa, one of the most privileged visas offered by the country. International skilled labor or students get the visa that allows them to work and study in South Korea.
They can either be engineering students or have a full scholarship and a recommendation letter from the university president. As of now, government-sponsored students only receive this visa. Some of the top universities in South Korea include Korea University, Yonsei University, and Seoul National University. South Korea totally wins against Singapore and Japan as the tuition fees and cost of living is a lot lower than the other countries.

WESTFIELD, Ind. — Several neighbors living on Olde Briar Lane in Westfield realized someone rummaged through their vehicles while they slept Monday night into Tuesday morning.
One neighbor tells CBS4 that thieves stole his 2007 Mercedes convertible and crashed it, though police have not confirmed that information to the station.
"My wife got a call this morning at 7:15 from the Indianapolis Police Department saying that they recovered our car after a wreck, that it wasn't sitting in my driveway any longer," Jim Messmer said. "So I went outside and looked, and they were right."
Messmer said his golf clubs were also inside the unlocked vehicle.
Neighbors in the area said they have not experienced crime like this before, and it is common for people to leave cars unlocked when they are parked on their property... at least it was until Tuesday.
"I think everyone's awareness is up," Messmer said. "I don't know if we're nervous or not. But we're certainly going to be more aware of what we're doing."
Elexis Gaines said she normally locks her vehicle, but she forgot on Monday night. She said thieves stole about $200 worth of cash, change and gift cards.
"Lock your cars, lock your doors, even if it's in a quick trip, run into Walmart, lock it," Gaines said. "You can never be too safe anymore."
The neighbors said they communicate with each other through a group chat. They also said they are planning to get security cameras installed.

If you love [xx] food I'm about to change your life forever. Imagine your favorite guilty pleasures, pizza, mackin cheese, lasagna at half the fat and half the calories. Like that idea? I sent a top nutritionist to your local market to find five low fat comfort foods, and [xx] is always good at this, came back the part that says if you love that, you will not be able to tell the difference between these and your old time comfort foods.
Thank you very much. Let's start with the all time favorite pizza. Okay this is [xx] mushroom trio and spinach. The typical 1/3 of the pizza is the serving, so. 1/3 of a pizza? 1/3 of a pizza. And if you compare that, a typical serving is 16 grams of fat, this is 9 grams of fat. The great thing about this though is you still, when you bite in, you want that mouth fill.
That's what's driving comfort foods in [xx] so, they're still cheese, and that's important, we don't want to go no fat necessarily. You know fat helps to satisfy us and taste good and we need it for hormones a lot of different things. So you still get that mouth feel but then they reduce the fat and the crust because this [xx] is that whole grain crust 4 grams of fiber and it help to fill you up.
So 250 calorie in a serving is probably not quite enough for dinner but you have room now to add side salad, have some fruit for dessert. Like the idea.

Sports Resource - Team New York
Team New York (TNY) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has been a community resource network for Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) athletes, artists, sports & cultural organizations, and their friends and supporters for over twenty-five years.
Team New York was inspired by the 15 New Yorkers who attended Gay Games I in San Francisco in 1982. The organization was formed soon after, and helped almost 300 lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) athletes and artists from metro-NY participate at Gay Games II in 1986.

From 29 September 2018, public and semi-public organisations are obliged to enable all European citizens and enterprises to access their online services. More information
eIDAS, the pan-European login system
From 29 September 2018, all organisations delivering public services via the internet must provide universal online access for European citizens and enterprises
With the eIDAS project, the European Commission is seeking to make public services, such as issuing birth certificates or parking permits, accessible on line for the citizens of other EU member states.
So, for example, it'll be easier for foreign students, expats, seasonal workers and others living in the Netherlands to make use of local public services. Instead of having to apply for a Dutch DigiD, they'll simply be able to log in using their own country's eID.
As well as private citizens, eIDAS is designed to make life easier for enterprises. With eIDAS, cross-border services can be delivered on line more conveniently and more securely. That means improved access to e-commerce, financial services (banking and insurance), health care, telecom services and more.
However, eIDAS is not only meant for citizens; companies can also benefit. Offering cross-border online services using eID increases user-friendliness and the online safety of services such as e-commerce, financial retail (banking and insurance), healthcare and services offered by the telecom sector.
eIDAS: One universal login for Europe
Just imagine travelling across Europe and needing a different passport in every country. The idea seems absurd.
Yet, in the electronic world, that's exactly what it's like. Before you can access an online service in another country, you've got to apply for a local login token. But not for much longer. When eIDAS comes in, any EU citizen will be able to use their own country's login system to access public services in other member states.
Communicating about eIDAS
Check the communication-checklist for setting up your webpages.
It is important that your organization and website are easy to reach for European citizen and companies via eIDAS. They will have to know that with eIDAS they can login at your organisation and use their own European eID. To make sure we have an unambiguous appearance, you can use text and visuals that are designed for eIDAS. This way European users can easily recognize eIDAS login points.
Where does eIDAS stand?
The regulation has been started and a number of EU countries are well on their way to accepting eID´s from different EU countries.
The EU-member states have agreed that citizens from all 28 EU-member states can ultimately login to government services in other EU countries. They agreed on this with the eIDAS regulation. To make this possible, the government must ´notify´ an eID that is nationally used in that specific country. In doing so they are asking other countries to accept that specific eID.
How does this notification process work? And where do we stand right now?
EU statistics
Did you know that 52 percent of the Europeans access public services via internet?

— Hello. This is Ivan Kuznetsov.
I'm local in the Dolomites, and Karelia, full-time outdoor journalist, editor and writer, author of several travel books, speaker, mentor to beginner authors and back again student.
My story begins in 2013 in the Dolomites, where, since that time, I have been organizing and guiding creative hikes, excursions and other activities in the Dolomites (mountains Vette Feltrine in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, Pale di San Martino — Paneveggio and Lagorai), in 100 km from Venice and 150 km from Verona, also via Airbnb Experiences and Localie.
I participate in annual sports and cultural events at the Pro Loco Tourist Center in Lamon, the third largest city in the province of Belluno, Italy, and the tourist association of the same city. My posts on Facebook and stories in Instagram are shared by the official tourist organizations like: Visit San Martino, Dolomiti.it and Visit Finland — I will work with them too.
Since 2014, I've been helping travel publications and companies, start-ups and independent entrepreneurs to create and distribute content on outdoor activities, eco-tourism, healthy lifestyle, travel and other related topics like: IT, online education, foreign languages, emigration, remote work, etc.
I cooperate with those who love to explore the world around: Bird In Flight photo magazine (Depositphotos stoke images), Windy App (#35 in Weather in AppStore), OneTwoTrip OTA in London, LinguaTrip (participant of 500 Startups), BlaBlaCar, Visit Finland, Central Park of St. Petersburg and others. There are 95 English language publications in my portfolio.
In Russian I have published 136 travel interviews (2.1 m views), as well as 85 publications on outdoor activities and two of my favorite countries: Italy and Finland (680k views). In total, in my portfolio there are more than 500 publications in all genres and formats: from news to long reads.
Totally I've been in 21 countries in Europe, Asia and North America, in 10 I lived from month to year. In Russia over 35 years, my homes have been: my native St. Petersburg, Petrozavodsk in Karelia, Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod near it, and Sochi on the south of Russia. I (almost) crossed Russia by hitchhiking in my project Ecological Journey Through Reserves and National Parks of Russia in 2015. Almost, because I went only to Kazan, but I planned and managed all the travel on paper. I've been just once on a regular vacation — as a child on the Black Sea.
I speak English (B2) and Italian (A2). The last one I learned and continue to study by myself through self-teaching, audio courses, but most importantly — through communication.
I'm going to join the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) and the Nuoren Voiman Liitto literary association in Helsinki, Finland.
I was a participant in two creative residences: Villa Sarkia Writing Residence in Finland, Santa Maria Residential Arts Center in French part of the Basque Country, where I went after the volunteer project in Italy. There I wrote my first two books: "I'm Arriving", a collection of interviews with famous Russian speaking travelers, and "The Trail", a travelogue about working as a mountain keeper in ecotourism in the Dolomites in Italy.
In order to publish them, I held two crowdfunding companies on Boomstarter and Planet.ru (Russian Kickstarter and IndieGoGo). Together with Ecological Journey project, all campaigns collected 1000 dollars from 110 sponsors.
At the same time I'm working on 5–10 more books, including personal guides to the Dolomites and wild Finland, and the book "How to Become an Outdoor Editor" and others.
In 2020 I finally started blogging on my website, where I share useful content on the same topics. This is the third version of the site: the first one was in 2014, the second one from 2017 — also three years. Hopefully, this one will last longer. I also have social networks — you can find them in Contact.
If you don't have time to read and know Russian, watch and listen to my lectures and other public talks. I have participated in 15 events: live broadcasts, video rubrics, webinars, podcasts, etc. Sometimes I organize my own meetings with readers. I also share my personal experience in the media — I have published 45 texts, as well as in two popular communities: Travel Startups on Facebook (17k) and Dharma Dums (260k) in Vkontakte (Russian Facebook).
As a mentor I help beginner authors to publish their first text in media, and those who are already publishing or working as a copywriter/editor to master the most complicated genre of journalism — interview. I have developed two courses. In both cases the focus is on outdoor texts or about creativity, and international communication.
Before active travels in 2011, I actively exchanged postcards through the Postcrossing website, collected a 100 cards from port cities, and in total I have about 300 postcards and letters from local people from around the world (literally).
I spent a couple of years actively using Couchsurfing in Finland, France, Italy and Russia (27 positive reviews).
I took part in international youth programs Work & Travel USA and "European Volunteer Service" (EVS) in Italy in the project of the largest local environmental association Legambiente. I spent a month studying Buddhism at Thosamling Nunnery, Institute and Retreat in the Indian Himalayas.
Sometimes I go on press tours and other business trips with a mission from a company: I wrote a reportage about life in a Finnish cottage for BigPicture, told about life in Greece — for "Around the World" magazine, opened North Ossetia region in Russia together with TUI and Coral Travel agencies, recorded a series of 12 interviews with local residents at the invitation of a company in Montenegro.
Three main things about cooperation:
- I am interested in charismatic people who have something to tell and cool products that are pleasant to use.
- I don't try to do more or better than others, more interesting is not like everyone else.
- I think I know how to make jokes.
Read reviews about me from other editors, hikers, content customers, interview heroes and just people who are close in spirit.
Here's my CV on Google Docs.

Wooden schooners have graced the waters of coastal Maine for more than 100 years. Built for the coasting trade in 1900 the Victory Chimes is one of only two surviving Chesapeake Ram Schooners. Based in Rockland, she can show you this rugged sailing ground of mountains, woods and inside passages. Whether you are anchoring in an unspoilt bay, rowing ashore or crossing bowsprits with other historic schooners, this is the most evocative way of understanding the maritime culture and natural beauty of Maine.

Authenticity on an Epic Scale
At 127ft Victory Chimes is the largest of the historic schooners that still sail, but she only takes 40 guest crew, which is a lot of space per guest. Cabins have 6ft 7 inch celings and the deck space is large enough for evening music concerts. Traditionally these ships carried deck cargo too so Victory Chimes makes quite an outdoor viewing platform to stride about on during your journey through West Penobscot Bay, Eggmoggin Reach, Isle de Haut Bay and many other famous wild sailing grounds. Her cabins are comfortable and anything but standard, with portholes, sinks and a wide choice of bed options.
This 208 ton ship has no engine, so sailing everywhere is what she has always done and considered normal. There is a push boat with an engine to nudge you into port, but otherwise you set your sails to depart and to hang onto your impressive spread of canvas until the last possible minute. Her Captain and owner Sam Sikemma was formerly Captain on globe-trotting barque Picton Castle. Debbie from Classic Sailing sailed with him in Nova Scotia and we short tacked a square rigger into Rose Bay, so he is no slouch at sail handling.
If the weather goes light on you there is always somewhere to explore ashore, or take one of the ship's small boats out for a row or a sail. If you are a bit unsure about taking a boat out on your own, the deckhands are super keen to escape with you and give you a hand.
Share the Dream - We Bought the Boat!
Some people dream big! It takes a pretty special couple to take on a National Landmark like Victory Chimes. Maintaining a 208 ton of wooden sailing ship built in 1900 requires a certain amount of dedication and skill. Luckily Captain Sam has a lifetime of experience as ship's captain, mate, rigger and carpenter. He knew what he was looking for when it was time to buy his own charter vessel, That vision was shaped by his partner Cara and her musical friends and contacts.
Cara ran off to sea at 17, working 4 seasons on Maine schooner Stephen Taber. A lady with a lot of wanderlust, she travelled with her fiddle on her back, travelling and living in over thirty countries in the last 10 years, playing and touring throughout Europe, South and Central America, the Middle East and South Pacific. However, there came a point that she "just missed home," so she packed her bags and returned to the states where she has now become involved in running the VICTORY CHIMES.
Sam and Cara have managed to weave all their favourite pastimes into their voyages. It is obvious from the customer feedback and social media images of their first season in 2019 that they have already breathed new life into this legendary Chesapeake schooner. We can't think of a more engaging couple to give you a flavour of Maine, its maritime history, its music and introduce you to the many friends they have made through their energy and smiles.
Evenings are for Chilling & Acoustic Music
Sam and Cara both love playing music and they have numerous cruises featuring fine acoustic musicians that travel on the ship for the whole cruise and play for guests on select evenings after dinner. They even have a summer concert series on a series of voyages called 'Sea Great Music.'
The performances are intimate and wonderful. Each is an hour or so, often longer because folks keep asking for more, but you can just as easily fall asleep to it from your cabin if you like. Either way, it's a lovely way to end your day after a sail and a completely unique way to get to know an artist.
There are voyages without music theme too. Victory Chimes is large enough for everyone on board to dip into the social gatherings or find their own space for chilling out, reading a book or writing in a sea journal.
Sailing Style
The craggy coast of Maine offers up all sorts of wide bays to explore in the day and cozy coves to anchor down in for the night. Even then, you can keep exploring by taking out one of the ship's small boats. The Victory Chimes owner's ethos echos our passion at Classic Sailing for travelling by sail as much as possible and finding time to also explore ashore. There is over 3000 miles of coastline and the new owners of Victory Chimes aim to show you the tucked away spots of Maine: those spots and sights that you just can't see any other way.
Learning about the rig and how to set the sails is part of the everyday activity but these trips are more about soaking up the essence of Maine than a sailing course. Based out of Rockland, the ship has one of the best cruising grounds in the world on her doorstep. set more sail as you cross the island-dotted Penobscot Bay, and, from there can head north to Jericho Bay, Isle au Haut bay, Mt Desert Narrow, perhaps going ashore in an island town, like Stonington or south to Muscongus Bay, skirting the numerous, scenic working harbors and idyllic seaside towns.
The bays of Maine are gentle, and the Midcoast sailing season is ripe with fair-weather days. Any fog is typically poetic and we can skirt rain-showers or hunker down cozily in a cove as real storms go through.
The sails are big and set using blocks and tackles. You have a first and second mate a 2-3 deckhands to help everyone work as a team. As the ship has no engine, you do have to earn your next meal by helping hoist the 'push boat' on its davits, after you have manoeuvered out of harbour. Victory Chimes is a stately lady and it takes quite a blow to get her really blasting. If winds are light to moderate and you are champing for more action, she does have a couple of secret weapons if you want to try more 'seat of the pants' sailing.
The ship carries a rowing boat and a sailing dory to go off exploring in the evenings, or whenever the ship is anchored somewhere tempting. The ships crew are usually up for a sail with you if you are not so sure about venturing off in a small boat on your own.
Life on Board
We have to say that food on board is a pretty major part of the experience. The dinner bell is much anticipated, especially once you have sampled the first delights from the galley. There is quite a fleet of Maine schooners so rivalry to have the best meals and chefs is rife. Sam and Cara have chosen well for their chef and galley assistant. Read the crew profile to learn more about the very experienced chef Geoffery Miller.
The Captain has spent years on sail training ships where everyone has to be kept busy, so on his own vessel he makes sure guests can do the exact opposite in the evenings. Taking relaxed downtime is part of the attraction and a chance to slow down from frantic modern lives. Enjoy a cool beer, the sunset and often an impromptu music session. There is a giant 'cooler' fridge on deck, so you can even stock up on your favourite drink before you join and keep it cool to toast those magic moments. The restless types could try a before breakfast swim around the boat or go for a row.
Sweet Suites and Neat Retreats
Victory Chimes is the largest passenger sailing vessel under the USA flag, yet she accommodates just 40 guests. Repeat guests have a slight advantage in choosing cabins as they already have their favourites to request when booking.
Victory Chimes has quite a choice of accommodation and we love their querky descriptions of each cabin type. What all cabins have in common are 6'7" deckheads (ceilings), refined bedding, hot showers (outside the cabin - not in individual rooms).
Where it gets interesting is when you start to look at the possible cabin choices.
Standard Cabins at Base Price
The base price quoted is for one bunk in standard double cabin. The majority of rooms at this price are similar and with two bunks. If you are travelling solo and the vessel is full you will probably end up sharing with someone from the same sex.
Below describes rooms 1,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,16,& 18
With ceilings of 6'7", a cozy pair of comfy bunk beds, a sink and cheery, glowing porthole to peek out at the morning light or open in the afternoon to nap to the music of the wind and sea, these rooms are anything but standard.
Cabin 2 - Twin berths instead of bunks - base price
This room sleeps two, not in stacked bunks though, but in adjacent twins. If you like to jump on the bed, or you like an airy feeling to your pillow fights, then Room 2 is a great choice.
Like all rooms, the ceilings are 6'7" (be impressed), it has a nice sink, fluffy bedding and a cheery porthole to glow the room or let in the music of the wind and sea.
Room 5 - cabin for 4 friends - all bunk berths - base price
This room is a "double-double," that is, it has two sets of bunk beds. For friends into a summer camp vibe where you tell stories from your bunks at night and get into laughing fits, this is the perfect, cozy clubhouse. Complete with a sink and fluffed, soft bedding, you may not get out of bed very easily in the morning, but at least you'll have three friends nearby to help wake you up.
Private Single Cabins - Only two of these - additional price
Cabins 19 and 21 each only have one bunk so solo travellers can enjoy your own private cabin without having to share. See individual voyage descriptions for extra cabin costs, which vary with length of voyage.
You still get the high ceilings (6'7"), the cheery portal and the fluffy bedding and great mattresses that all the other cabins get so you won't feel like a stowaway at all.
Double Bed with Ensuite Restroom - additional price
There is a different price band for these ensuite cabins with double beds and their own bathroom (or restroom as the Americans like to call it). See individual voyage descriptions for costs, which vary with length of voyage.
Admirals Suite - Double bed - ensuite
This Suite sleeps the same number of people as a regular room, but here - you'll get to sleep side-by-side, cozy style, on a nice, full-size bed. Complete with its own restroom (WC), a convenient sink and a cheery porthole for peeking at the scenery or enjoying the music of the sea.
Governors Suite - Queen size double bed - ensuite
Special treat? With a comfy, Queen-sized bed (!), it's own bathroom, bookshelf and dressing area, even the captain will be jealous when you stroll into breakfast from the glow of the finest room aboard.
'Yin and Yan' Double bed -ensuite Cabins 15 and 17
Each of these suites has, in addition to a convenient sink and charming porthole like the other rooms, it's own restroom and a real, full-sized bed. They are a bit cheaper than Admirals and Governor suite.

History of Victory Chimes
Victory Chimes (official number 136784) is a three-masted, gaff-rigged Chesapeake Ram schooner. She was launched in April 1900 from the Bethel, Delaware yard of George K. Phillips Co. as the 'Edwin And Maud', named for two children of her first captain, Robert Riggin. Her home port back then was the same as it is now - Rockland, Maine. Originally designed for and used as a cargo carrying schooner, she was converted to a charter vessel as early as 1946.
Victory Chimes not only exemplifies the nineteenth and early twentieth century development of large American wooden schooners intended primarily, though not exclusively, for the coasting trade on both east and west coasts, but she is the only surviving example of the "Chesapeake ram" type and one of only two surviving examples of a three masted schooner in the United States.
Victory Chimes' She was slightly larger than the average "ram," and today she is the largest member of Maine's fleet of windjammers, which carry passengers along the coast during summer months.
Restoration & Originality
She is constructed with an oak keel, double sawn frames and deck timbers and Georgia pine planking. In 1988 she was extensively repaired at Sample's Shipyard in Boothbay Harbor, Maine while owned by Domino's Pizza. Traditional working methods and materials were used to replace rotten areas in-kind. Despite an active working life in a harsh environment and required changes for passenger safety, Victory Chimes is estimated to retain about 70 percent of her original fabric.
The traditional "ram" rig was a standing jib, flying jib, staysail (also called a forestaysail), foresail, mainsail and spanker (or mizzen), which Victory Chimes carries today. The heads of the fore, main and mizzen sails are supported by gaffs and the feet are laced to booms. The present masts of Oregon Douglas fir are over eighty feet in height. The mizzenmast was replaced in 1976, the main in 1988, and the fore in 1989. "A straight tree 110 feet tall is required to get the necessary length a full twenty-one inches in diameter."
The original wooden bowsprit was replaced by one of steel to the same dimensions in 1965. The standing rigging is steel wire. Standing rigging was minimal on rams, to enable deck cargo to be stowed on uncluttered decks. Each mast is supported by three shrouds on each side. The foremast has three stays and springstays run from its masthead to the main and mizzen masts.
Still an engineless Sailing Ship today
Just as when Victory Chimes was built, the schooner does not carry an engine. Maneuvering assistance is provided by a nineteen foot wooden yawlboat which pushes against the stern. When not in use it is towed astern. The current yawlboat was built in 1991 by then Captain Kip Files and George Alien to enable the vessel to compete with other vessels in the passenger schooner trade which have been modified to carry engines. The yawlboat is, said Kip, "probably a bit bigger than would have originally been used."7 It is powered by a 135 horsepower Ford diesel engine. Three other boats are carried on davits.

Captain Sam Sikkema
Debbie from Classic Sailing met Sam when he was onboard Picton Castle, where he was clearly revelling in being Captain of this famous tall ship in home waters during the Rendezvous 2017 Tall Ships Race. Seeing Captain Sam orchestrate us as motley crew into short tacking this 56 metre square rigger into Lunenburg was one of the highlights.
Capt Sam Sikkema fell in love with the water early in his life. Sailing dinghies on Lake Michigan as a kid with his father, he quickly grew up to sailing larger and larger boats. When in High School he joined the Sea Scouts and had the opportunity to start sailing large traditional sailing vessels around his home waters in the Great Lakes.
When Sam left school he turned to seaward and never looked back, launching into a maritime career that has taken him around the world and sailed on all of the world's oceans in Schooners, Square Riggers, Training Ships, Yachts, Fishing Vessels, Commercial Vessels and work with Maritime Museums and Shipyards as a Carpenter and a Rigger.
Over the years he has sailed as crew in Niagara, Bounty, Sørlandet, Denis Sullivan, Californian, Red Witch, Nina, Robert C Seamans, Spirit of Bermuda, Alabama, Highlander Sea, Columbia, and the 1841 Whaling Ship Charles W Morgan. He has also been in command of Friends Good Will, Lynx, Tole Mour, Harvey Gamage, Lettie G Howard, Roseway, Victory Chimes and the ocean voyaging barque Picton Castle.
Capt Sikkema, along with many certifications, holds a US Coast Guard Masters License for vessels up to 1600 tons upon Oceans and 3rd Mate unlimited. He is licensed internationally to be Master of vessels of up to 3000 tons and mate of any vessel worldwide. He also holds the Nautical Institute International Sail Endorsement for Square Rig and Fore & Aft Rig.
Along with his passion for being on the water Sam has always enjoyed playing music and is a student of History and Marine Preservation. When he is not at sea you can find him between Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and Rockland, Maine playing music and building boats with his friends.
Cara Lauzon
Cara Lauzon was a born and bred a farm girl in upstate New York and took to the seas when she was 17, moving to Maine to work on the local vessel Schooner Stephen Taber. Caught by wanderlust she worked for 4 years seasonally on the Stephen Taber and took off in the winters traveling Europe and South America and the Southern States. Playing Violin since she was seven, her wish to travel soon became insatiable and she set out to travel with her fiddle on her back traveling and living in over thirty countries in the last 10 years, playing and touring throughout Europe, South and Central America, the Middle East, the South Pacific and other continents of our globe.
Her love of the sea was never quite lost and she had several sailing adventures in the South Pacific and other warmer climes.
Most recently she was living in Israel studying Turkish music, playing Indie Rock and living by the sea. However, there came a point that she "just missed home," so she packed her bags and returned to the states where she has now become involved in running the VICTORY CHIMES. She is very excited to bring her knowledge of the world and her connections to the musical world to breathe new life into this historic vessel's journey.
Chef - Jeffery Miller
VICTORY CHIMES has an 'engine'. Yes, the secret is out. It is the cooking of our Chef, Chef Jeffery Miller that drives us. Below deck, in the galley, is what fills our trips with enjoyment as much as the wind fills our sails.
He is always sailing or cooking and has lived on sailboats for the last 20 years. Being aboard VICTORY CHIMES allows him to be immersed in his two favorite passions: sailing and cooking. He grew up in a home with a commercial stove; the house was literally built around it: a Garland, 8 burner burner commercial stove, so big that the walls couldn't be put up until stove was installed.
His mother studied with Patricia Wells in Provence Italy and Jeff picked up the passion from his grandmother who has a widely known Appalachian culinary flair for simple brilliance, and a dramatic style of hospitality. At thanksgiving she would surprise each guest with their favorite entree; each individually prepared for them.
In school, Jeffery worked in kitchens around marinas and he cooked his way through college, fully paying his tuition as he went. He moved to Florida to upgrade his Captain's license by adding offshore time.
He somehow - he has a thousand stories and so we're only touching on the peaks of his anecdotal mountain range - ends up working shoulder to shoulder with a renowned Hungarian Chef - Lazlo Bevardi, who at 9 was chosen as the only person in the country allowed to cross to West Germany to attend a renowned culinary institute.
After years in the trad sailing world, Capt Sam has picked his crew well.
Nicola Morse - Galley Hand 2019
Nicole's history with the 'Chimes is more than most peoples. Her great grandfather, Fredrick Boyd Guild, owned and captained the Victory Chimes and her aunt worked in the galley when she was in her early 20's. She grew up sailing in Casco Bay, Maine and previously taught sailing in the Falmouth and Portland areas. Nicole is currently studying at Maine Maritime Academy working on a dual major program in Marine Biology and Small Vessel Operations. She just finished her first year and will be heading back at the end of the summer for her sophomore year.
Yoko Bowen: First Mate
Yoko's parents started a marine science summer camp, so she spent summers on Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick.If you're always around boats, you sail out to watch whales, and all your father's friends are fishermen, then you just might fall in love with the sea.
Yoko went to the College of the Atlantic with a focus on marine studies. When the chance came up to live on one of the most remote islands of Maine, Mt. Desert she lept at it and many other outdoor adventures. She was also stationed on Great Duck Island, researching the ecology of herring gulls that had her living intimately among them.
Ever since her first day at college though, her counsellor had tried to convince Yoko to take a semester at sea versus so much time on land, collecting data. She eventually relented and took part In the Sea Education Association's program (SEA). This was the pivotal experience that set Yoko on her course to us. At the end of her stint at sea, the moment she hit the dock, she realized that as much as collecting data put her intimate to the natural world she'd loved since childhood, the lengthy follow-up time spent analyzing data, would habitually keep her from it for much longer.
She changed course and a week later she was hired as educator on a boat called Quinnipiack. Two years later she found VICTORY CHIMES. Within three years , she went from deckhand to first mate and is the first ever female to hold that position on this ship.
As much as she's a brainy, brawny badass, Yoko is also an endearing goof. This season, the crew is all about the movie "A Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," so, of course she knit everyone red caps to wear, just like Bill Murray wears in the movie.
Sherman Brewer: Second Mate
The Brewer family has lived on the island of Southport since the 1600s, so Sherman's love of the sea and nearly innate seamanship is nearly hereditary and seemingly inevitable. A sailor since he was 9, working aboard ships at 15, his official training was at the Northeast Maritime institute in Fair Haven, MA which transitioned him from deckhand positions to ship's officer. When the opportunity to work on the 'Chimes came up, he gladly took it. This is his second year and we hope just the beginning.
For a bio steeped in history and devotion, Sherm's may seem aloof in its brevity, but such quiet humility is a Sherm trademark. Just beneath his taciturn reserve though, is a dry humor, simmering wit and beaming smile. He's an old soul, conscious and quietly proud of his family's long local, maritime history. Like the best sailors, he snaps to duty and awareness in an instant, doesn't suffer fools well and is deeply knowledgeable of safety, process and teamwork.
A nod from Sherm' is as good as a cheer from most others. He wears his seamanship with reserve, but he's a lovable, loyal and a darn fun complement to the long, proud history of our ship.
In 2019 season there were two deckhands and one deck apprentice. Very handy if you want to take out one of the ships sailing dories and need some company.

The Association of Festival Organisers (AFO) has announced further details of the agenda for this year's conference, running from 9-11 November.
Taking place at Stratford Manor Conference Centre and Hotel near Stratford upon Avon, this year's event will be a diverse mix of informative, practical, inspirational and entertaining seminars, discussions and talks.
The business end of the festival scene will concentrate on topics including ticketing – who offers the best deals, and who should help shoulder the responsibility of marketing an event. The latest rules and regulations on security will help to keep non-ticket holders out but keep your ticket buying audience safe from exploitation by others with criminal intent. Details of the new PRS tariff will explain where the money actually goes.
The AFO continues to play a pivotal role in raising awareness of the socio-economic impact of the festival and events industry. This year's major seminar focusing on the plastics crisis, will suggest ways in which the events industry can play its part in reducing and recycling waste. Speakers from a number of environmental organisations will discuss solutions on how we can help conserve the world's natural resources and adopt renewable energy resources into our events.
The AFO Conference has always prided itself on being welcoming those new to the festival and events industry. This year's 'Beginners Guide – an A-Z' will offer top tips to those starting their journey. And there will be ample opportunity to pick up much more information from experienced organizers with talks and case studies about how to plan a festival in a greenfield, town site or other space.
Friday and Saturday evenings both offer showcase concerts which will give delegates the chance to find new artists for their festivals. These concerts have traditionally proven to be a valuable opportunity for up-and-coming artists to be booked for their first festival experience. The concerts are also free to the public.
Steve Heap, general secretary, explained: "The AFO started as a meeting of minds and shared experiences and has grown to an annual gathering that helps guide those involved in the festival industry towards best practices across all areas of an event. We keep our finger on the pulse of changes, new legislation and new initiatives as they affect the events industry so that we can bring those subjects to Conference to share the knowledge and the ramifications.
"It is never too late to become part of our community. So often new members tell us they wished they had known about the Conference when they first started their festival. We try to help people avoid the pitfalls."

The Sound Of Animals Fighting
Tiger & The Duke (Reissue)
Written by: PP on 13/12/2007 18:39:41
The Sound Of Animals Fighting is one of those bands that us reviewers have increasing headaches over because we simply lack the words to describe how their ultra-experimentalist indie rock exactly sounds like. If you'd ask the band itself about the remastered re-issue of their out of print debut album "Tiger & The Duke" and how it sounds like, their answer would probably recite the concept that the album revolves around (main character Duke, and the Captain who runs a ship they are sailing on), followed by a sound description somewhere along the lines of "The cargo of the ship are crazy animals who howl and fight below the deck. Eventually the Captain's sons start a mutiny in which the Captain jumps off the ship." This in musical form, of course. That might sound a bit odd, but after listening to the record it's not an explanation far off from reality. But then again, a band consisting of Anthony Green (Circa Survive), Craig Owens (Chiodos), some RX Bandits members and complemented by a few Finch guys, can hardly go wrong.
Equal Vision has kindly remixed and remastered the debut, as well as thrown in eight completely re-arranged tracks from "Lover, The Lord Has Left Us", some by the band itself, and some by other equally remarkable experimental indie acts such as Portugal. The Man and Technology to make it worthwhile even for those who already own the debut.
I was in for quite a surprise when I first started listening to the record. Having only listened to their second album "Lover, The Lord Has Left Us" and loved its out-of-this world experimental sound world to bits, I was instantly thrown onto my toes when Anthony Green starts the album with some heart scraping screaming in the vein of Saosin's "Translating The Name EP". It was completely unexpected given that their sophomore album was so experimental and soft in its nature, but yet it feels somehow oddly fitting to the sound world of The Sound Of Animals Fighting.
The whole "Tiger & The Duke" experience logically feels like a stepping back from the over the top experimentalism of "Lover, The Lord Has Left Us", given that this album came before. But what's surprising is that instead of the soft harmonies and progressive song structures, the record has a much more post-hardcore vibe to it. The songs are more straight-forward, though still maintaining the insanity of the progressive guitar work and the unmistakable combination of real drumming and samples to the point where you couldn't mistake the band for being anyone other than itself. This even if, like me, you started from the sophomore album and are working your way backwards.
Consisting of an overture and three interludes, the album actually only consists of four real tracks, and each of them are totally different in nature. Rotating between solid post-hardcore riffs and weirdo jazz elements with an indie rock flavor, each track keeps you busy at studying the peculiar effects and the sudden switches between sound levels and even genres. Throw in a spoken-word track "Act 3: Modulate Back To The Tonic" with electronic vocal samples, erratic guitars that erupt and end almost simultaneously, and Anthony's beautiful emo/screamo styled high range singing & screaming, and total confusion as to how the band puts it all together and makes it actually work is certain.
As for the remixes of the "Lover.." tracks, the other bands have done a hell of a good job. For instance, Technology takes "Un'Aria" and "Un'Aria Ancora", both barely 1 minute in length, and somehow manages to re-arrange them into an eight minute track called "Un'Aria Elettronica". Portugal. The Man takes "My Horse Must Lose" and "Skullflower" and inserts their distinct sound into the songs, and let me re-assure you, Portugal. The Man meets The Sound Of Animals Fighting is.. well, the result is freaking weird.
My overall opinion of "Tiger & The Duke" is still a bit unclear, because the stream of complexity and little details that keep on surfacing don't seem to stop even with repeated active listening sessions. Much of the album is really enjoyable and it clearly sets the ground stone for "Lover, The Lord Has Left Us" and possible future albums to allow the band members to experiment with sounds and pursue their creative genius to every conceivable direction. The re-mastering of the record has resulted in a clearer sound, and together with the additional eight freaking weird re-mix tracks by other bands, "Tiger & The Duke" becomes a worthwhile purchase even for those who already own the original - the album is now over two times longer than it used to be!
