Libido-Max Review
Manufacturer: Applied Nutrition
We usually prefer to review brands that haven't been reviewed to death, just because it's nice to find brands that are worth talking about that aren't necessarily the most popular.
But you must review the popular ones to remain honest to your viewers. If there really is a better mass-produced male enhancement product out there, our readers should know about it.
Libido-Max is one of those products that anyone who has even done a rudimentary search on Google for a male enhancement product would stumble across it at some point. It's like the Extenze of the libido product world.
You would think it would work wonderfully, and without any doubts. After all, it's sold in big retailers like Walgreens for crying out loud!
To beat the elephant in the room: it did work. But not as well as you would think, and there were other effects that I saw that you might be interested in knowing about.
This is a premium product all the way, from the outside to the inside. The box is sturdy, the graphics are sharp and in high-resolution, and the information on the front and back of the box is plenty to bring you in for a closer look.
We bought Libido-Max from Walgreens, so we can't comment on how nice the shipping materials or container are, or if you're greeted with advertorials or other miscellaneous items.
The pills are carefully placed inside the pack in a blister pack fashion, where you pop each pill through a thin piece of foil. You've seen these before. It sounds odd, but if you saw it, you'd say 'ah! Those things! I know what you're saying now.'
The Effectiveness of Libido-Max
Be very, very careful with this product. Its combination of ingredients has been noted to cause severe gastro intestinal issues, including stomach ache, nausea, and diarrhea.
The culprit: yohimbe bark extract. It's an all-natural ingredient, sure, but it's a very powerful one. There have even been cases where cardiac arrest has occurred from an intake of yohimbe. Yikes!
I've never had a heart attack, but I'd imagine having one while having sex isn't exactly that fun. But if you had to die, that's probably the best way to go.
Anyway, now that we got the morbid portion over with, the package says you may take 2-4 pills every morning to increase your appetite for sexual behavior.
Whoever wrote that part of the directions is a complete moron. I took two pills the first day, and experienced headaches, fatigue, stomach ache, and I felt like I was going to puke my face off.
I can't even imagine what I would have felt like after four pills. As stated earlier, I attribute this to yohimbe bark extract. It's powerful stuff.
So while I felt completely awful, I was too sick to even notice if my sexual desire had increased. After all, who wants to have sex when they're ready to vomit? It's like having a stomach virus and thinking you're going to go run in a marathon. You want to do anything but that!
After being sick most of the day, I decided to lay off of sex for the day.
Day two, I decided to try one pill. The same thing happened, only to a lesser extent. Rather than put myself through two weeks of torture and perpetual sickness, I decided that then was a perfect time to cut the review short.
My experience? Libido-Max sucks. It'll make you sick. But if you enjoy feeling horrible for six hours, be my guest.
What Ingredients are Inside Libido-Max?
- Maca root
- Horny goat wed
- Tribulus extract
- Yohimbe extract
- L-arginine
- Ginger extract
- Black pepper extract
Is Libido-Max a Scam?
It is not a scam. You can buy this stuff in stores, and you can even contact the company if you needed the phone number to the closest hospital or stomach-pumping facility.
If you tried buying a motorcycle on eBay and the guy said he'd be overseas for a military mission, but he told you to empty your credit cards and wire him money first, to which you eventually received a box filled with 1980s porn magazines, that is a scam.
Where Can I buy Libido-Max?
The easiest place to buy Libido-Max is Walgreens or another big retailer. You could also buy directly from their website, but then you need to wait for it to ship to you.
How Many Pills Come in the Package?
You get 30 liquid gel capsules in each box, and if you took the maximum dose possible and didn't feel like grizzly bears were eating your intestines, that would be 7 and a half days of use. If the product worked as intended, and with only two pills, you'd get 15 days out of it.
With a product like this, even though the directions say to take it every day, you'd only need to take it as needed. I mean, really, if you're taking a libido enhancer, why would you want to be super horny at work or something?
How's the Return Policy?
Since your best bet for buying Libido-Max is to head to your local pharmacy retailer, you'd be dealing with their return policies, which are usually consumer friendly.
Depending on where you go, you'd have at least 30 days to make up your mind on whether or not you want to try it. I'm not so sure if you'd get your money back if you opened it and used it, so I wouldn't treat this experiment as a 'what do I have to lose?' scenario.
Do They Auto-Bill You?
No, silly! Walgreens doesn't do stuff like that, otherwise they'd totally be in bankruptcy for ripping people off and having to pay out millions if[pullquote_right] It made me sick[/pullquote_right] reparations.
The Bottom Line
I really wanted to like this product. I really did. Seeing how it's so popular and in quite a few big retailers, it sounded like a total homerun. But, sadly, it made me sick. I can't say if you'd feel fine, but searching around the Internet brought me to the conclusion that this was not just a one-time deal. It happens a lot.
Be careful with this stuff!

"When Castle Grayskull was suddenly surrounded by a massive army of mindless goblins controlled my Skeletor's Dementia Ray, King Randor knew he had to send for He-Man's help or be overrun! What he needed a distraction, something that would draw the horde to one area of the castle walls allowing a single guard to escape. Commissioning Man-At-Arms to create a golem from scrap parts and using Orko's magic to animate it, Distractus was born! This clanking, whirring, blinking, spinning, creation made its way out into battle and drew the goblin horde's attention. Remarkably it survived and aided He-Man in defeating the army. Distractus was later repaired by Roboto and earned its place as a member of the Eternain Royal Guard."
Enter Distractus, an original custom character creation! With a working Figit Spinner shield and cube for head he's the most gimicky MOTU figure out there. Distractus was created from a Darius body, Extendor arm, Transformers battlers arm, Mr Freeze foot, Doomed Superman leg, Galactic Skeletor body cover, and a whole bunch of fodder wires, parts, and pieces. The Figit shield magnetically attaches to his left arm and can be removed, same as his head to be used separately.

Beware of Boring
By Chelsea Berler
I don't care how buttoned-up or conservative your business is—It doesn't mean your website needs to be. The more I poke around on the internet, the more evidence I find of that fact. Business websites are increasingly more fun and interactive. Websites I previously found bland or "meh" are now vibrant, alive, enjoyable, and entertaining. Why? Visitors are more likely to return to sites they like, and everyone likes to have fun. As an added benefit, having a fun website also gives depth and personality to your brand. Customers will be delighted to see that your business has a well-developed sense of humor, whimsy, or even a dreamlike quality. Disclaimer: You know your audience, so you will know how far you can go before they think you are childlike, goofy, or unprofessional. Never cross that line. That said, I assure you there is at least some room for a little fun in business websites. I'm going to examine a few new trends to help you do just that, so you can integrate them into your own website.
Charming (Yet Meaningful) Icons
We often apply graphic icons to make our clients' websites more enticing and fun. Icons are a playful way of distinguishing different areas of your site, naturally draw the eye, and can make even dry subjects more interesting, such as in the following two websites we designed for Alabama business services companies: Perman Engineering (permaneng.com) and AccountingRx (accountingrx.com).
Natural, Scenic Photography
People are tired of cheesy-looking stock photos. Instead, they want to see beautiful imagery that connects to people on a visceral, emotional level. I'm not saying don't use stock photos, but not any stock photo will do. It's better to use original photography, but if you must use stock, make sure the images you choose are gorgeous, connect deeply with your brand, and elicit an emotional response. We've done just that for life coach Carla Robertson (livingwildandprecious.com) and for my own personal website (mostlychelsea.com).
Splash on Some Color
Color speaks directly to the emotional centers of the brain, highly influencing our perception of an object. Making bold color choices that fit the attitude you want to cultivate can immediately put your visitors in the right frame of mind. It works because it's straightforward and powerful, as you can see in our creations for Daughters in Charge (daughtersincharge.com), for business coach Andrea Lee (wealthythoughtleader.com), and for From Founder to CEO (fromfoundertoceo.com).
Loosen Up Your Content
No one wants to read flat, bland, unexciting copy. Weave in a little personal storytelling, crack a joke, keep your tone conversational (never pedantic!), use fun hypothetical examples, hijack a meme (a concept, behavior, or idea that spreads, usually via the internet), use some urban slang or a twist on song lyrics (like the title of this article), or incorporate a pop culture reference. Play with words. Make a pun or two. Use a friendly, informal, yet professional tone with your Web content to create a fun and relaxed experience for your visitors.

Who to Follow
Download this publication
During times of natural disasters such as tropical storms and severe weather, social media is bombarded with information. But this information can be misleading or only partially true. The challenge is determining what is credible and trustworthy.
Look for facts from sources that have trained expertise in meteorology, disaster preparedness, and emergency management. Information from these sources is provided by highly trained professionals who work in the best interest of the public.
Several factors are considered when forecasting the weather, and these factors can change as the weather develops. Keep checking back with these reputable sources to get the most updated information.
Remember these tips when validating information from social media:
- Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale ranging from 1 to 5 with 5 being the strongest with wind speed exceeding 156 miles per hour. Look for information that uses the numbers within this scale.
- The direct path of a hurricane can be challenging to predict because several scenarios can be in place. Reputable sources will only report 72 to 120 hours before the expected impact and will use the National Hurricane Center Track Forecast Cone along with their maps. Look for information that uses the NHC Track Forecast Cone or that describes several possible scenarios, not just one track to a direct landfall point.
- Follow your local government agencies such as the Emergency Management Agency (EMA), government officials, and the U. S. Department of Agriculture to find the latest update on evacuation notices.
Severe Weather/Tornadoes
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service (NOAA/NWS) Storm Prediction Center uses a convective outlook map to predict the probability of severe thunderstorms in a given area. Reputable sources often use this map along with their own expertise to provide information.
- No two events are the same. Severe thunderstorms develop and strengthen based on a number of factors including instability of the air and wind shear. There can also be limiting factors, and the degree of each factor is never the same. Reliable information will usually not compare two severe weather events because every severe weather outbreak is different.
- Meteorology and atmospheric sciences have made great strides in technology and accuracy, but the technology has not become so advanced that meteorologists can pinpoint when severe weather will hit a specific location. Reliable information uses general large areas on a map and time frames of when events might occur.

Brexit White Paper is published
02 Feb
The UK Government has published its Brexit plans in a White Paper, The United Kingdom's exit from, and new partnership with, the European Union.
James Mure, QC, Convenor of the Faculty of Advocates' International Committee, said: "The Faculty notes with interest the publication of the White Paper. It fleshes out the themes rehearsed by the Prime Minister in her speech on 17 January. It makes clear that the UK Government will not make any attempt to 'remain in the EU by the back door', and that therefore the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the EU must end.
"The White Paper notes that the Joint Ministerial Committee on EU Negotiations has agreed to undertake bilateral discussions at official level on the Scottish Government's proposals for a 'differentiated solution' for Scotland, as set out in the Scottish Government's paper, Scotland's Place in Europe. The purpose at this stage is said to be to fully understand the priorities of the devolved administrations.
"The Paper also points to the further devolution of powers in areas not reserved to Westminster but hitherto largely governed by EU law, such as agriculture and the environment. Committing itself to maintaining common standards and frameworks for the UK market, the White Paper speaks of a 'guiding principle' to ensure that no new barriers to living and doing business within the UK are created.
"In the months to come, the Faculty will continue to contribute to the important debate on how the UK's exit from the EU will affect Scotland, its laws and its people."

For the Fashion Designers, Agents Are the Hot Trend
Fashion designers used to spend most of their time worrying about one thing: designing clothes.
Now, their career options are exploding. Chloe Dao, the Houston designer who won the "Project Runway Season II" reality television show last March, has signed five brand-extension deals, including one to design iPod cases to be sold by Target Corp. and Circuit City Stores Inc. Los Angeles designer Monique Lhullier, known for her lace wedding gowns, will create a bridal suite at a new resort owned by Sir Richard Branson in Somerset County, N.J.
Tomorrow, New York designer Alice Roi, who makes punk rock-inspired knit dresses, will host a party paid for by Dow Chemical Co. to introduce denim made with a next-generation stretch fiber. The tablecloths at the party will be made of the "XLA" denim.
These varied deals were all brokered by New York's Designers Management Agency, or DMA, which has positioned itself as the Creative Artists Agency of the luxury fashion industry.
The emergence of DMA comes at a time when fashion designers, both new and established, are eager to find ways to raise the profiles of their own brands and generate additional revenue amid stagnant apparel sales. "The only way to be in the market is to become a celebrity yourself," Ms. Dao says.
Heard on the Runway
The Journal's Heard on the Runway blog tracks the latest news, analysis and images from New York's fashion week.
"Today, fashion designers have greater exposure -- we know more about them than just their names," says David Rand, executive director of interiors at General Motors Corp., which hired New York designer Dana Buchman to design the interior of a prototype Cadillac SRX. Her picks: snakeskin sun visors, silk carpeting and quilted leather seats.
In the past, fashion designers have struck their own bargains or gone through public-relations agencies. But the rising wave of options has created an opportunity for DMA and agencies like it.
"Fashion designers either don't have the business acumen, or they are creative types and they don't really care to focus in on the business side of things," says DMA founder Marc Beckman, who is married to Alice Roi. His company, he says, tries "to leverage that star factor they bring to the table."
Four-year-old DMA was the first company created exclusively to occupy this niche, but competitors have started sprouting up. In September, "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller launched a talent agency in London called 19RM. Its aim is "to take fashion into new areas of pop culture," Mr. Fuller told the British press at the time. His first deal was a dress-design collaboration for Gap Inc. with British designer Roland Mouret, who is a 50% owner of 19RM. Through a spokeswoman, Mr. Fuller declined to comment about 19RM's plans.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America, which has worked with DMA on a book-and-television deal, says it has plans to create a "job bank" service to help link member designers with large retailers. The CFDA also is a paying client of DMA, which organized a recent deal to produce a CFDA-branded coffee-table book about American fashion icons with the publishing house Assouline.
The proliferation of deals with retailers reflects a change of heart among fashion designers and luxury-goods executives, who once shunned the licensing business after logos for brands like Gucci and Yves St. Laurent started showing up on cheap T-shirts, cigarette lighters and luggage in the 1980s and 1990s. Those labels spent years buying back ill-conceived licenses and repositioning themselves with expensive marketing campaigns.
Isaac Mizrahi's successful collaboration with Target helped change the scene. When Target hired the designer in 2003, critics argued that Mr. Mizrahi, who shut down his unprofitable high-end label in 1998 when his backer, Chanel SA, pulled the plug, was ruining his career. But the Target collection caused a sensation and reinvigorated his brand.
Fashion designers' partnerships now take a variety of forms and are different from the licensing agreements of the past. A designer may sign on with a retailer to make a one-off collection for one season, or sign a multiyear contract. The design project is often for something other than clothes. And, a growing category is fashion entertainment -- bookings for fashion-themed television shows or guest appearances such as one Ms. Dao did recently for LensCrafters Inc.
DMA, which has 10 employees, has a client roster that includes such apparel makers as Jones Apparel Group Inc. and Liz Claiborne Inc., as well as consumer-product companies like Procter & Gamble Co. and Unilever NV. Companies seeking creative products are plugged into what Mr. Beckman calls his "fashion ecosystem" of designers, such as Luella Bartley, a British designer who is designing a suite in the new Branson resort and American designer Laura Poretzky, who recently extended what was supposed to be a one-season deal with Payless ShoeSource Inc. to 2010.
DMA is associated with 25 designers, some on a project basis and others on a long-term retainer. To keep DMA on retainer, some clients pay as much as six figures a month, Mr. Beckman says.
Mr. Beckman won't disclose his firm's revenue but says it more than tripled last year from the year before. Last year, DMA completed about 150 deals, compared with 75 deals the year before. The value of the agreements range from $5,000 for a designer's appearance at an event to more than $50 million for a big guest-designer contract involving a five-to-10 year collaboration with a major mass-market retailer, including fees and royalties. DMA takes a 20% to 40% cut.
A lawyer and former cosmetics company entrepreneur, Mr. Beckman started DMA in 2002 after selling the rights to his cosmetics brand's name "Défilé" to Christian Dior. The idea to serve as a liaison between high-end designers and mass-market manufacturers and retailers came to him in the wake of the sale, and Sam Sohaili, a marketing executive who designed the striking packaging for the Défilé cosmetics line, became DMA's creative director.
"Bringing in people like DMA who are good at marrying the commercial with the creative advances the progress that we are making at a faster clip," says Peter Boneparth, CEO of Jones Apparel Group, which started working with DMA three years ago.
Not all deals have turned out to be long-term successes. A collaboration between New York designer Tara Subkoff, known for her "Imitation of Christ" brand, with Jones's Easy Spirit line lasted several seasons. Her subsequent team-up with Los Angeles denim maker Blue Concept LLC was discontinued after a brief run. Jones's Nine West label didn't extend its recent one-season ventures with designers Vivienne Westwood, Sophia Kokosalaki and Thakoon Panichgul. "This is a constantly moving business," says Stacy Lastrina, executive vice president of marketing at Jones Apparel.
In a market saturated with products branded with designers' names, Mr. Beckman is seeking to parlay designers' star power in new ways.
One involves fashion designer Stella McCartney, who in May will host a cocktail party at her Los Angeles boutique for famous friends. A video of the event will appear on the Web site for Max Factor, the cosmetics brand owned by Procter & Gamble Co. There will be no brand endorsements at the party, and Ms. McCartney is not required to say anything about Max Factor. In return, Procter & Gamble will pay for a significant portion of Ms. McCartney's upcoming fashion show.
"Stella has double value as a brand," says Marco Bizzari, chief executive officer of Stella McCartney, which is owned by PPR SA's Gucci Group. "She is a designer, and she has a lot of connections in media and entertainment."

A wide range of organizations has chosen us for the development of their mobile projects, including marketing and advertising leaders, government institutions and financial entities.
In EX² Outcoding, we follow and promote an integrated approach to building apps through our mobile consulting team, which includes designers, developers and project managers.
Why apps?
It is estimated that in 2016, a quarter of the world population has used smartphones, which represents more than 2,000 million users. By October 2014, there had been more than 85,000 million downloads only in the Apple store.
These facts show the enormous opportunity offered by a published mobile application, and in EX² Outcoding we know how to design and build apps that reach the top charts in downloads and popularity for their regions or market segments.
Advantages of going mobile:
- Apps are always at hand, ready to run on a device that is part of the user's everyday life.
- Apps interact with the user's environment: location, camera, contacts, etc. This allows us to always deliver content that is relevant to the user's current situation, at any time.
- Apps integrate with a growing number of social networks, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and many more. This is an ever growing chance to increase the app's exposure, and therefore the reach of your brand or company.
Each app we develop is supported by our expertise and knowledge from more than 100 mobile projects, as well as 500,000+ downloads around the world. Our consulting team has logged thousands of hours dedicated to mobile software; in EX² Outcoding we are mobile app specialists.
Technologies and Tools
iPhone and iPad (iOS):
We have more than 60 iOS applications developed and in excess 350,000 downloads from the Apple store. Our apps have evolved together with technology, and today we offer a wide variety of functionalities that take advantage of the features of new devices, such as native adjustment to screen size, location and interaction with other users and social networks, among other characteristics.
We have launched more than 20 applications in Google Play, with 150,000+ downloads. Our application portfolio in Android includes apps created for important government organizations in Costa Rica, such as the Fire Department, Digital Government and the Ministry of Work, as well as for privately owned companies.
Native and Generic Apps:
Our mobile consultants can help you decide between the performance and user experience of a native application (iOS, Android or Windows Phone), or the flexibility of generic apps (PhoneGap, HTML5). We have the necessary experience in both scenarios and can recommend the best options and approaches for your requirements, timeline, and budget.
Web Services:
Web services provide an ideal and transparent mechanism to integrate mobile apps with other systems, particularly with a company's IT infrastructure. EX² Outcoding follows a flexible approach to integration through web services, which includes either creating such services or using those that may already be implemented by a client or business partner.
We can also build app-oriented Content Management Systems, with easy-to-use and creative web interfaces for your own team manage and edit the information presented by your mobile apps and websites, all in a single product.

CAIRO – They came for a celebration. They brought their children and their nephews and their cameras to revel in what they thought would be a defining moment in their nation's history.
Instead, the tens of thousands of Egyptians who flocked to Tahrir Square Thursday night expecting President Hosni Mubarak to announce his resignation were stunned, some near tears, when he didn't.
On a cool, clear night in downtown Cairo, a hush fell over the crowd. People tilted their heads toward speakers positioned throughout the square, as if trying to wish the words out of the 82-year-old president.
Afterward, there would be debate and confusion over what Mubarak meant when he said he'd delegated powers to Vice President Omar Suleiman. But in the square that's been the center of 17 days of protests demanding that Mubarak quit, the words that the throngs were waiting to hear never came.
Eyes hardened, and heads shook. One man watching on a big screen took off his shoe and raised it toward Mubarak in disgust. Hundreds immediately did the same.
"He laughed at us," said Mohammed Mamdouh, a teacher who brought his teenage nephew to what he thought would be a party.
"If he told me that the sun rises, I don't believe him," said Salah Shkeb, a lawyer from Mansour, 100 miles from Cairo, who rented an apartment in the capital to join the uprising.
Like many in Tahrir, Shkeb predicted that protests today would be the biggest yet. Minutes after the speech ended, hundreds of young demonstrators began marching out of the square and toward the state television headquarters, which for days has been guarded by tanks.
News reports said hundreds were marching in the direction of the presidential palace, about 10 miles east of Cairo, although the main road in that direction reportedly had been sealed off by the Egyptian army.
"In this square, tomorrow will be a big war," Shkeb said. "We will go to the palace. He didn't listen to us."
Just moments earlier, perhaps the largest nighttime crowd to pack Cairo's main square had been a festival, with people singing songs, snapping pictures and banging drums in anticipation. Egyptians of all ages and stripes stood shoulder to shoulder. A tall, clean-cut teacher argued passionately with a burly, bearded man in a skullcap about constitutional reform and who would replace Mubarak.
They told the same jokes: Mubarak meets former Egyptian presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat in the afterlife. They ask him what did him in, poison or assassination?
"Facebook," says Mubarak, a reference to social media's instrumental role in organizing the uprising.
The raucous mood gave way to shock and cries of disbelief. When Mubarak opened by vowing to punish those responsible for the deaths of the people killed in protests — many at the hands of police and Mubarak loyalists — Shkeb looked nervous. When Mubarak said he'd never let foreign elements dictate the course of events in Egypt, Shkeb rubbed his eyes.
Toward the end, when Mubarak invoked his six decades of service to Egypt, first as a military man and then as head of state, the crowd jeered, "Leave! Leave!"
"Only lies," Shkeb said. "For 30 years he's been talking about the future. What is this future?"
Mohammed Abdul Magd, who brought his 3-year-old and 1-year-old daughters to experience "the history of their country," was distraught after the speech. "I can't answer you," he said.
His wife, Zeinab Ahmed, said, "I was happy when I came here, but all my hopes collapsed."

White blazers have been a staple in the fashion world for years now. I would venture to say that a white blazer is pretty much like a good pair of denim. You can wear it anywhere, anytime, any season and with anything.
Pair it with feminine dresses for a classy edge.
For the office you can wear it with a pencil skirt and edgy jewelry.
Wear it shopping, traveling or running errands with a white tee and black skinnies.
Make it your date night staple with jeans and the tee or blouse of your choosing.
And my personal favorite, pair it with this season's "it" color…. blush!
Now for my favorite part… where to buy this coveted new closet staple.
Check your local area boutiques. Augusta Twenty in Greenville, SC has this beauty for $150.
And the deal of all deals. Forever 21 - $27
Happy styling!

Erin Garner, the oldest daughter of New York police chokehold victim Eric Garner, has been declared brain dead with no chance of recovery after suffering a massive heart attack.
The mother of two children and ardent advocate for social justice, went into cardiac arrest Saturday before lapsing into a coma after she suffered a massive heart attack which was triggered by an asthma attack.
According to NY Daily News, family members rushed to Woodhull Hospital Thursday to say final goodbyes to Erica Garner.
The 27-year-old firebrand remained on life support Thursday morning, her mother Esaw Snipes said.
"She's not gone, she's brain dead," Garner's heartbroken mother explained. "Physically she is still with us."
The Rev. Al Sharpton also stopped by the hospital to pray with the family.
"We're here with the family every day," Sharpton said. "(Erica) was a warrior. She was a real activist, she was always involved. From three years ago, she never stopped. She was always at rallies, she was always calling me — 'Reverend, we'll do this. Reverend, we'll do that. We'll do it your way, then I'm gonna do it different than you.'
"It's just sad to see her laying there and not the active Erica that we know," he said.
Eric became an outspoken critic of police brutality after her father was murdered by NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo in 2014.
Her late father Erica Garner.

All righty friends, listen up. Today's lesson is one that I sorely need to be reminded of, not just from time to time, but really everyday, so I'm going to share it with you as well.
Be nice to yourself. Treat yourself the way you want to be treated. TREAT YO' SELF.
We put so much pressure on ourselves (read: I put so much pressure on myself) to go the extra mile, put in the hours, elbow-grease, all that fun blood-sweat-and-tears hard work, and generally be perfect that we run ourselves into the ground. This, as you might have guessed, is not the best way to live. There is a part in Eat Pray Love (both the book and movie) where they talk about this idea in North American culture that we have to work non-stop all week until we collapse on the weekend, not moving unless it's to eat, for 48 hours straight. Then we do it all over again. Apparently, or so Julia Roberts would have me believe, there is the Italian idea of dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing. It's the radical concept (please note the sarcasm) that you don't have to make relaxing or enjoying yourself some big song and dance. Treating yourself can be as simple as doing something small that makes you happy.
After this past week, I'm looking forward to some much needed doing nothing. I mean, I'll probably still run around in circles at some point, worrying about what I still have to do for the coming week, but I'm going to try to remember to treat myself.
One of my favourite ways to treat myself is with food. Food that tastes good, food that makes me feel good, etc. I love big, long, laborious recipes that leave me feeling physically exhausted but like my soul has been put back together. It's therapeutic.
Sometimes though, and I'm not going to lie, it's more often than not these days, I want something that takes as little effort as possible.
This is one of those. I love these pears because I can treat myself to dessert (or dessert for breakfast, because it's fruit so that counts right?) and feel as though I'm eating something decadent and rich, while in reality dedicating less than 15 minutes of my time to them. It's so so so easy and you will feel like a kitchen goddess (or god, we don't discriminate here, everyone's welcome in my kitchen).
So please, treat-yo-self this weekend, and enjoy the sweetness of doing almost-nothing.
Makes: 4
- 4 pears (Bosc work best, especially if they're a little overripe. Baking them will get rid of any mealiness they may have, and they'll be so so sweet)
- olive oil spray, or cooking spray
- 2 generous (and I do mean generous) tbsp goat cheese
- 2 tbsp Dried cherries, finely chopped
- maple syrup
- whipped cream (optional, but really when is whipped cream every optional?)
- Preheat oven to 325 F
- Cut the pears in half lengthwise (stem to bottom)
- Carefully, with a knife, cut out the string that runs from the stem through the middle of the pear. (This is a lot easier to do if the pears are more on the ripe side)
- With a spoon, scoop out the seeds in each pear half, leaving a small bowl-like indentation (that's where the cheese will go, if you're having trouble picturing it)
- Once the pears have all been prepared like this, place them cut side down (so skin side up) on a baking sheet lined with tinfoil and sprayed with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until the pears are soft when poked with a fork, or when a little bit of caramelization appears on the cut side if you lift one up to peek
- While the pears are baking, make the filling. Literally all you do is mash the dried cherries into the goat chess with a fork. So easy
- Once the pears are done, let them cool until you can pick them up without screaming bloody murder.
- Put a scoop of the goat cheese filling into each pear half and arrange artfully on a plate.
- Drizzle maple syrup over the works, making sure to get some on the goat cheese part.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream on the side (if you're feeling really fancy, make whip it from scratch)
- Serve and TREAT-YO-SELF!

I have an HP P7 desktop, 6GB of memory that I'm working on. When I boot from SSD it boots normally.
If I try to boot from CD or USB it can take for ever. To boot Macrium it took over 45 minutes, two different USB thumb drives on two different USB 2 ports connect to Motherboard. Booting UEFI.
I gave up on CD, it must take hours.
Ran diagnostics, no issues.
You can see the indicator light on USB key, it comes on, reads for a second, goes off 5-7 secs, comes on, goes off, repetitively.
It will eventually boot but 45 minutes is ridiculous.
Any ideas as to what is causing this?

GFH Capital sells prime US property for $43m
MANAMA, September 14, 2017
GFH Capital, a subsidiary of Bahrain-based GFH Financial Group (GFH), said it has successfully completed the sale of one of the properties in its diversified US residential portfolio in Atlanta for $43.45 million.
The portfolio has been acquired three years back, said a statement from the company.
The Atlanta-based asset, a Class A property, comprises 19 three-storey luxury residential buildings with 306 units. The sale was completed through an open market bidding process with the portfolio attracting strong investor interest and demand, it added.
Supporting the strong sale price is the asset's strategic location just three miles west of the Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport and its close proximity to a range of community, shopping and entertainment facilities, said the statement.
On the deal, senior executive officer Luay Ahmadi said: "GFH Capital is proud to announce this successful exit for the group and our investors. GFH have kept a close eye on the market since our acquisition in 2014 in order to ensure capitalising on the most opportune time to exit."
"Over last three years, GFH has proven its ability to effectively source unique transactions and exit transactions, delivering promised returns to our investors," noted Ahmadi.
"We saw strong prospects for the US real estate sector across multi asset classes and continue to have a robust pipeline. GFH remains focused on identifying similar new opportunities in the market and increase the size of the assets under management," he added.
According to GFH, the transaction is expected to have a positive impact on its financial results for the third quarter including a gain of 13.6 per cent. -TradeArabia News Service

When You Need Additional Outlets in Oklahoma City, Count on Alliance
Everyone has probably experienced the frustration of not having enough electrical outlets. As the number of electrical items we rely on increases, so does the number of outlets we need to power them. Rather than making a daisy chain of power strips to meet your power needs, call Alliance Expert Services for safe, professional outlet installation.
Signs You May Need New Outlets
You need more places to plug in: While you can use power strips or surge protectors, these are designed to be a temporary solution. If you find yourself constantly searching for an open receptacle, simply call Alliance to install an outlet.
Your outlets show signs of damage: Wear, discoloration and cracking are all clear signs that you need new outlet installation. You should also keep an eye out for loose outlets; these present a serious electrical fire risk and need to be replaced right away.
Your outlets aren't grounded: Ungrounded outlets have two plug slots but lack the third, ground wire hole. These outlets are no longer in code and present an unnecessary danger to your property, so be sure to get new outlets installed if yours aren't grounded.
You own an electric car: You can charge your car's battery using regular outlets, but you'll get a much more efficient charge by having us install an EV charging station.
Ensure your outlet installation, repair and relocation services are done safely by hiring a professional electrician like Alliance. How-to tutorials online can show you how to install an outlet, but they can't show you how to tell if your circuits and wiring are capable of supporting the additional electrical load. Your Alliance electrician will complete your outlet installation safely and ensure that the new outlets won't pose any kind of fire risk.
Alliance Expert Services has been Oklahoma City's source for high quality electrical service since 1990. Our team of dedicated, licensed electricians always puts your needs first, providing customer-focused service and quality solutions you can trust. Call us to meet your outlet installation needs today. (405) 236-2222
Safety Is Our Main Goal
At Alliance Expert Services, you safety is our main concern. When your home's electrical outlets aren't installed correctly, it poses a serious safety risk. An improperly installed outlet can overload your electrical system, which increases the risk of electrical fires. Our certified electricians will install outlets the right way, bringing you up to code and protecting your electrical safety.

Consultant to map
plan for downtown
The Shallotte Board of Aldermen selected a consultant Tuesday night that will be charged with coming up with a strategic plan for developing the town's waterfront.

The firm was selected because of its experience with waterfront communities, said Walt Eccard, chairman of the Downtown Shallotte Committee.

Please be mindful of the surroundings, other visitors and the neighbouring property owners whenever visiting Little Hill Farm
- the grounds of Little Hill Farm are steep in many places and sometimes uneven or even slippery (if wet) – please watch your step and stick to paths where available.
- the gardens are often bursting with native wildlife (especially birds) – admire the wildlife but please do not allow children to chase or harass the fauna.
- watch out for bees, wasps and bull ants especially in Spring and Summer.
- If you see a snake, please walk away and report it to the owners. Snakes are generally more scared of humans than you are of them, walking with a heavy footstep and avoiding long grassed areas will limit any potential contact.
- appreciate the plants and trees in the garden – but please do not pick fruit, flowers or take cuttings without seeking permission.
- please do not ring the bell.
- smoking is only permitted in designated smoking areas.
Did You Know
Making Plants Is Easy
You may be interested to know but many of plants, shrubs and trees in the gardens have come from seeds and cuttings we have propagated ourselves. Some are new items sourced from friends and acquaintances here in Bridgetown and the South-West, others come from family, friends and our own assorted gardens over the years, when we lived in Perth.
We want visitors to understand that gardening does not necessarily need to be an expensive pastime … if you are prepared to learn the correct time to sow, take cuttings and propagate plants, whilst also willing to wait for a plant to grow and mature, then it can be an extremely rewarding activity and relatively inexpensive hobby.
From time to time, we hold 'learning days' for visitors which cover topics including
pruning fruit trees,
propagating plants,
raising seedlings, and
growing vegetables at home

Making a financial and life action plan means embarking on a conscious pilgrimage, not a blind excursion. As I discuss in chapter 3 of Mindful Money: Simple Practices for Reaching Your Financial Goals and Increasing Your Happiness Dividend, in order to do that, you need to get clear about two things: Here and There. Where are you now and where do you want to go? Every trip starts with these two coordinates. A map is useless unless we know our Here and our There.
It is easy to lose sight of our Here or to miss it entirely. Caught up in our unfolding dramas and daily repetitive routines, we can forget to ask the most fundamental questions about our lives. Our Here is a thorough understanding of who we are and what is important to us at this time in our life. Take a moment to consider each of the following questions, either simply pondering them or writing your answers down:
- Who am I?
- How do I view my place in the universe?
- What matters most to me?
- Who matters most to me and how do I show that?
- What delights me and makes my life worth living?
- What are my greatest strengths and talents?
- Where do I derive my sense of meaning?
- What is the point of my life?
- What motivates me and makes me tick?
These questions, and others like them, are the stuff of Here. It is both pointless and impossible to try to make a financial plan without giving a lot of thought to your Here. Who is this person embarking on this pilgrimage? What matters deeply to this person? What satisfies, delights, and motivates this person?

Quietly, almost imperceptibly, the Orioles have become more of a homegrown team this season than at any point in recent years - maybe all the way back to the early 1980s, if not before that.
Position players Brian Roberts, Brandon Fahey, Nick Markakis, Ed Rogers and Luis Matos are all products of the club's minor league system, as are pitchers Erik Bedard, Daniel Cabrera, Chris Ray, Sendy Rleal, Chris Britton and Kurt Birkins.
When veteran starter Russ Ortiz was signed and Adam Loewen was sent to the minor leagues this week, the number of homegrowns on the 25-man roster dropped from 12 to 11. That's a huge improvement from the many years when you could count the homegrowns on one hand.

Boom Burger (Charlottetown)
There are two things that I find hilarious about Boom Burger in Charlottetown. (More …)
There are two things that I find hilarious about Boom Burger in Charlottetown. (More …)
All the Goss: July 7 | Passable, PW, and Michelle are discussing. Toggle Comments
Just to let you know, Boom Burger is not owned by cows. The man who owns cows has part ownership over Boom Burger- just as he does anne of green gables chocolates and avonlea village and many other places on the island, but other than that the two businesses have nothing to do with each other.
Just ate at boom burger and as I was eating my food, I pulled up a picture on my iPhone of a five guys trip from South Carolina. Their menu layout is 90% an exact copy, they didn't even try to be original ( blatant rip off). The only difference in the two products is boom burger serves Peps not cokei and does not have self serve peanuts.
Here's a little something I wrote that appeared in today's Coast. Ladies who lunch: inside Grandma's Kitchen. Maha Amin, project coordinator with the YWCA, set up a program called Grandma's Kitchen where immigrant women from all over the city get together to cook and practice English together. It's a nice little story for the holidays about peace, love and foul moudamas.
Recently, I listened to my favourite food radio show Bien Dans Son Assiette (Plug: it's worth learning French just for this program, Monday – Friday, 8pm AST) dedicate a whole hour of prime time to the oyster. What an idea!
David McMillan, one of the owners of Montreal's popular Joe Beef restaurant, talked oyster quality, name dropped many brands, and shucked oysters.
The show got me thinking.
We have quality oysters in Halifax, just not a wide variety of them. Most are local. Really local. Maybe too local. In this case, the 100 mile stance isn't worth it. We sit on the doorstep of greatness – we have to include more New Bruswick and PEI oysters on our menus.
Rowan Jacobsen wrote a must-read book (if you are into oysters) called Geography of Oysters. Aside from being nearly comprehensive, he lists a dozen oysters to acquaint yourself with. Three of them are close to Halifax: Beausoleil (NB), Colville Bay (PEI) and Glidden Point (Maine).
Question: why don't I often see many of those oyster brands here? Before I continue my complaint, let me tell you what we do have and where you can get them.
Okay, so I don't like to make anything uniform in style. Every cookie is like a beautiful snowflake, I tell my child. Not one looks the same. Murdochs like the wobbly ones and cracked ones in this world, I tell him. We bake not for sale, we bake to grab and munch and roughly hold in our fists as we run through the house chasing the dog.
I found a phenomenal ginger snap recipe which I will now share with you.
Baking shortbread to give to the daycare ladies as a Christmas gift. I tried a couple variations, a mix of an old Scottish cookbook recipe I have, and a Saveur recipe. I tried one batch with cake flour and cornstarch, and another batch with rice flour and all purpose unbleached flour. I like the cake and cornstarch. The sweetness of the sugar came through. The texture was crumbly, which I like in a shortbread. (More …)
This week's edition of Read Up On It covers food from various points of view including scientific, historical, personal and ethical.
It's getting to be that time of year.
No, not the holidays, I'm talking about what so many journalists, bloggers and writers tend to do at this time of year: reflect on what has happened in the past year. Last year, we made a list, but this year, we wanted to do something a little different. We'll be posting about this throughout the upcoming days and weeks before the New Year rings in.
I made a promise to myself a while back to eat food that is produced as close to home as possible, and to keep in time with the seasons. It's something a lot of people are doing, as more and more people become conscious of the issues around food production. This is not to say that I don't eat out, or that I don't occasionally buy foods that are not produced here. When I do make exceptions it is because they are items that are not produced here at all, such as rice, soy sauce, olive oil or coconut milk.
But when things are in season, I make the best of them, as much as possible. The growing season here is (relatively) short, so if that means I can only eat asparagus for a month, then so be it. I will buy it, and enjoy it at its peak, steaming it or grilling it, topping it with poached eggs and cheese. When raspberries and other soft fruits are available, I will make sorbets to cool off from the heat and eat them for snacks throughout the day. I will stain my counters with their juices, fill mason jars with them and make brandied berries. In the fall, I gorge on apples, snacking on varieties which are at their peak for a few short weeks, dreading the day when they've been in the fridge for too long and have become mealy. But when they do, that's when I dry them and put them in the dehydrator, adding to wintery baked goods.
Ah winter. And then comes the challenge.
This weeks edition of Read Up On It contains everything from the ethics of killing animals for food to the recent love among boozehounds for Fernet Branca. Check it out.
We've got it all for you this week in Passable's weekly Read Up On It: from candy making to how to open a bottle of wine with only a shoe.
This video series from Farmrun is a good place to learn.

Moral Psychology Lab Meeting
Title: Reasoned Judgments and Moral Intuitions in Vaccination Hesitancy
Abstract: According to the social intuitionist model of moral judgment, nearly all moral judgments are driven by intuitions: fast, automatic, and largely affective responses to some triggering event. In the moral and political domain, "reasoned" judgments—judgments driven primarily by a weighing of the relevant information at the judge's disposal—are rare. I claim that when parents decide whether or when to vaccinate their children, they are usually making reasoned judgments. There are two reasons to think so. First, existing models that connect moral intuitions to parents' judgments about vaccination do not explain the variation in parents' decisions. Second, most parents who are hesitant about following the CDC's recommended immunization schedule (40% of American parents) spend considerable energy in both research and deliberation. In a significant class of cases, one's moral judgment is not driven by one's intuitions, but rather by a careful weighing of the information at one's disposal.

Here we go. Our first tropical disturbance is brewing off the coast and it will either fizzle out or give us a dose of rain and storms at the end of the week.
Consider This:
Although it is a very small system, when we have that first discussion of tropical weather it's a reminder that hurricane season is underway. That should remind all of us to think about your plan if we are in the path of a larger storm.
The flood zones recently changed and it is important that you Know Your Zone. Horry County Emergency Management has a helpful map that will show you if your home is in danger from a potential storm surge or rising water.
Also, make sure you have an evacuation plan. Waiting until the last minute is too late. Have a designated route and leave early. The best option is to follow the motto of the Boy Scouts… Be Prepared. The time to begin that preparation is now.

Neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky constructed a reproductive spectrum with opposite poles being tournament species, in which males compete fiercely for reproductive privileges with females, and pair bond arrangements, in which a male and female will bond for life.
These species-particular behavior patterns provide a context for aspects of human reproduction, including dating.
However, one particularity of the human species is that pair bonds are often formed without necessarily having the intention of reproduction.
Dating is a stage of romantic and/or sexual relationships in humans whereby two or more people meet socially, possibly as friends or with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in a more committed intimate relationship or marriage.
It can be a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by the couple.

London: A simple urine test can help detect cancers of the gut, stomach and pancreas much earlier than existing procedures.
Researchers have identified key proteins in the urine of patients with advanced cancers which could be instrumental in diagnosing the disease even before their symptoms show up.
Only around 10 percent of people with cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract live after five years of diagnosis. This is because these aggressive cancers are often diagnosed at an advanced stage.
A rather painful procedure like the biopsy is the only way to tell for sure whether you have cancer or not. The doctor cuts out a small piece of tissue and sends it to a lab to be studied.
Holger Husi of the University of Edinburgh`s Tissue Injury and Repair Group said: "The aim of this work is to enable these cancers to be diagnosed much earlier. This would help us to treat the cancer before it has a chance to spread."
The research compared and analysed urine samples from patients with upper gastrointestinal cancers with that of their cancer-free counterparts to identify thousands of proteins, according to an Edinburgh statement.
They then pinpointed six particular proteins which were present in 98 percent of the cancer cases but absent in almost 90 percent of samples from patients without cancer, reports the journal Proteomics-Clinical Applications.
The researchers then narrowed molecules down to the two proteins -- S100A6 and S1009 -- most likely to appear in samples from cancer patients.

After stumps at Day III of the Ahmedabad Test match, a TV correspondent makes the worst possible mockery of the game of cricket, courtesy his blissful ignorance.
(Bored by all-Obama bites and visuals on TV, I chose to go for some cricket analysis)
Anchor in the studio: What do you make of today's play?
Reporter: The century by Rose Taylor (Jessy Rider was the lone centurion) has put NZ back on track. (So far, not so bad. Maybe, just a slip of tongue)
Anchor: You've covered many matches at Motera (Expectations heightened!). What should be the strategy of MSD tomorrow, on Day IV?
Reporter: See, the match is headed for a draw. (It wasn't by any means then). If Indians manage to take a couple of wickets by lunch and a couple more at stumps (taking total wickets to fall to 9. Why leave one?), India can get crawl back in the match.
(He preserves one wicket for the last day !!! and expects the remaining two innings to finish in less than a day's play)
The anchor senses that his colleague was not making much sense and chips in: Dhoni must try and bowl NZ out before lunch and, by way of a possible blitzkrieg from Sehwag, India can set a target for NZ.
The reporter, bent on putting his nonsensical theory across, insisted: If India take two wickets by lunch and another two at stumps, Day V can well turn India's way. Otherwise the match is poised for a tame draw.
(Why two wickets a session??? After the NZ skipper, there was not much batting to follow. And why leave one wicket for Day V?)
The anchor changes the subject: The NZ spinners took the last seven wickets. Why do you think our spinners failed to use the track to their advantage?
The reporter makes several retired players and those who did not bowl at all "roll their arms over" without much success. (He was not even aware of who all are playing – keeps looking at sheet of paper he's holding while presenting his idiotic ideas)
He again gets back to his "incredible" theory of India trying to take wickets of four tailenders in the three sessions of play, with the same élan, leaving the last one for the final day!
The anchor, while politely dismissing the idea, concludes the chat by putting a theory across (and rightly so) that India must bowl out NZ quickly and score briskly to set a target and make a match out of what may be heading for a draw.
And he sheepishly thanks the reporter.

The Melody Ehsani Somebody Bracelet is to be worn with confidence. The gold-plated identification bracelet was created by Los Angeles born and raised accessory designer Melody Ehsani. The bracelet is in your face both in its message and aesthetics, as the inspiring design proves the wearer's self-worth.
The design has a pop-art sensibility that works well with Ehsani's brand as she tries to upset the equilibrium of what is expected. As Ehsani describes on her website, her "style is inspired by paradox, controversy, justice and pushing the envelope in showing that you truly cant judge a book by its cover."
Ehsani's work has been worn by celebrities such as the likes of Rihanna. This piece as well as others from Ehsani's gold-platted jewelry line is now available in stores.

text: I'm going into hospital on the 2nd to have a sigmoidoscopy, which should be lots of fun :/ lol I'm hoping it just confirms IBS C and is nothing more serious than that. I was once diagnosed with IBS without any examination by a locum GP and put on Mebeverine, which is supposedly to stop spasms, I felt they did nothing so I stopped taking them. I was wondering what meds others are on. I feel like I shouldn't be on meds that stop spasms, it's things not moving that's my main problem I think. What are alternatives that I could maybe mention to the doc if he tries to put me on mebeverine again?

This villa concept was designed for one of our Client who intended to develop his land in Pecatu, south part of Bali. The existing land is located in the border side of golf field. The back of the land facing into the golf area.
The land's shape, which is irregular, is one of the interesting part in this project. We divided the villa into two masses with 5 bedrooms in total. Modern shape of the building combined with local material. Two rooms on ground floor have direct access to the pool, meanwhile two bedrooms upstair is surrounded by shallow reflecting pond. Each bedroom has it's own experience.

My band. Thoughts?
Actually, it's just me, on a laptop and a guitar.
Would *you* let this play in your local venue?
This'll mark the first time i've let my music loose for criticism amongst anyone other than friends and family. Make my day.
MySpace won't open at school,
But this is the kinda JAG I like.
Honest and nice.
Other people should listen...
Quite right.
Can't listen at work though. And no internet at home at the moment either.
I'm listening
and not really enjoying it...
Not bad but a bit vain...
it's not weird enough nor melodic enough...
But it's just me !
And I have listen to all the songs.
That was just my way of saying
that I didn't say anything after just listening to a few seconds...
ticks all the boxes
1) didn't pretend it wasn't him
2) didn't make a crap joke
3) gave brief details of what the music is actually like
4) didn't use the phrase 'feel free to listen'
however I also can't listen cos I'm at work.
I'm listening to it
I quite like it but it's not really going to take me by storm.
Sounds like it'll appeal to people who like Napoleon IIIrd, maybe, though that's more an aesthetic thing, rather than an actual 'sound' thing. Have I been confusing and vague enough?
funny lyle you should say it isn't wierd or melodic enough - those would be two things I would have to agree with you on - I have been trying recently to 'wierd it up' a bit (not in a 'trying too hard' way, but more like stop treading beaten paths. Also, been trying to write more melodies too - they are more important than anything, really, imho.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback, keep it coming (if you can be bothered ;) )
at the moment
I'd say this is 'interesting' - I listened to all four tracks and the last one is the best.
I mostly have criticisms. The tunes aren't great. the sounds aren't terribly original and the guitar is nothing special and shouldn't be given such prominence.
I'm not being a cock about this. If you do another thread in six months and say 'new tracks up' I'll be listening again with interest because I feel like there's lots of potential in there for this stuff to be better.
It sounds like someone finding their feet. There's plenty in the lyrics and the general direction you're pushing yourself for me to have been happy to sit through all four songs which I NEVER do.
All in all, you're quite good but you will probably get a lot better.
for the kind words. Its funny how you write a song and think its awesome, then you write more stuff and think your first songs were crap, and laugh at how you used to think they were brilliant.
"A Word of Thanks" was actually the first song I wrote with my laptop set-up (i used to be an acoustic geetar strumming kid before that) - at the time I was really happy about it, but now I find it a bit boring. The Crash and Running to the Airport are my newest songs (the newest i've recorded anyway) and I'm kinda starting to get a bit tired of them - although I do think they're *better* than the older stuff, in a few months time I'm sure I'll think they're rubbish and be replacing them with better and more adventurous songs.
But thanks, seriously, for the feedback, and the kind words of encouragement - when I have new tracks, I'll definately post them up here again :)
You need..
That is true.
Although one of the songs I had to take down to make way for the new stuff has an *insane* looped bassline. And I'm not just saying that.
