This mode is only available in beta version currently and will be released publicly with version 1.8.
When you can't stop for longer then for X minutes at once and constantly have to monitor idle/moving times, average speed and distance passed - You are probably a rally driver or a test pilot for BMW :). Then this is the mode for you:
Simply do MENU > MODES and pick "BMW test pilot" mode at the bottom.
In this mode, TIME panel shows idle/moving time monitor and allows to setup the current stop duration alert. By default, alert is disabled. Tap on a @"-------" button above the ALERT label in the time dash to open the alert settings:
You can setup both the alert timer and options for alerting as Voice, Beep or Vibrate:
Return back to the main screen and now, whenever you stop for longer than the idle alert threshold, you'll bee notified by a beep, voice message or vibration.
"Tunnels" and "garages" are always a challenge to anything GPS related! Is it right to add time in the tunnel or garage with no GPS reception to the idle or moving time? It depends. That's why you have an option in "Advanced settings" > "Zero speed and NO GPS" to pick the right handling:
Want to use this mode before the public release? Drop me a line via star button in the speedometer app and you'll be invited to use the beta version!

I recently had the opportunity to speak with a prospective Ham, about to take her Technician License Exam, and she asked me, in a very serious tone, if, upon getting her license she had to get "those strange license plates" on her car?
I assured her it was purely optional, but I wanted to explain the process for anyone considering getting their Texas Amateur Radio Operator specialty license plate.
Aside from the obvious, meaning your car is registered in the state of Texas and you are, in fact, a licensed Amateur Radio Operator and the registered owner of the vehicle, the process is quite simple – almost trivial – and costs you nothing.
First, you will need to download and complete form VTR-53, available here.
As you will notice the form allows you to get identical Amateur Radio Operator plates on up to three vehicles, with the requirement that the vehicles all 3 need to be registered to the same licensed Amateur Radio Operator.
You will also need a printed copy of your current Amateur Radio Operator license from the FCC. Recently the FCC stopped issuing paper licenses, but through the FCC Universal License website you can log in and download a PDF of your license.
If you currently have so-called "Handicap" license plates on your car, you will need include a copy of form VTR-214 to ensure your specialty plates include the International Symbol of Access. The appropriate form is available here.
Once the form(s) are completed, they need to be submitted to your local Tax Assessor-Collector's Office, temporary tags and a new registration sticker will be generated on the spot, and within a few weeks you should receive your new specialty license plates in the mail.
There is no fee associated with the plates, but if you already have one (or two) vehicles with Amateur Radio Operator plates you may need to pay the difference to "sync-up" the registration renewal date on the current vehicle to match the renewal date on the other car(s).

Deciding which new water heater to install is something most Newcastle, ON area homeowners consider to be very important. Not only is this an investment you want to last for many years, but the type of water heater you choose will also determine how efficiently you can heat the water in your home.
Many of our customers here at Advantage Airtech Heating & Air Conditioning ask about the advantages of replacing their standard tank water heaters with new tankless models. If you are considering a tankless water heater for your home, here are factors to keep in mind as you make your decision.
First, you should consider the type of fuel used to heat your home. If your water heater or heating system runs on natural gas, you'll need to think about how this will apply to a new water heater. If you have a tank water heater, then the installation will be easy because of the existing gas line. However, some tankless models will need to be installed in another area depending on the layout of your home or utility room.
On the other hand, if your home is heated with electricity, you will have more installation options with an electric tankless water heater because there's no need for access to the gas line or ventilation. Next, you'll need to think about what capacity you'll need.
Most tank water heaters range from around 30 to 80 gallon capacities. For smaller homes, 30 to 40 gallons should provide plenty of hot water, but larger homes may need 50 or over. Tankless models are not always ideal for larger homes, especially if you tend to use more than one application at once. However, there are solutions to this issue, and one of the water heater specialists at Advantage Airtech Heating & Air Conditioning will help you find the right solution for all your Newcastle, ON water heating needs!

3 months after my marriage ended I was in a pretty low place that included lack of self worth, lack of hope and throwing myself the biggest pity party I had ever thrown. Sure I talked about it, but I was also embarrassed about how I was feeling. It's a little hard now to even admit. I'm all about being vulnerable. But then I second guess myself because I'm worried I sound too whiny, too insecure, too anything that's not attractive or pleasing.
Through this transformation, I have desperately wanted to show the world that yes I was hurting, but I was strong and healthy and happy. I wanted to show my friends and family that they could count on me to get through it, that they could count on me to get back to myself.
I know that that part is true now, that I will get back to myself, it's just a different version. But I also know that I have to be okay with the hard and lonely parts of me too. Because they are still going on and unfortunately are just a part of life.
Slowly but surely I am realizing that I have had a major ingredient missing from my story, missing from my healing: self love. Slowly but surely I am figuring out how to love myself again.
I am 29 and have never truly been alone. I was the girl that has had a boyfriend since 4th grade when I sent my first "do you like me" note. But after my husband left, I hit the kind of lonely where I was willing to choose anyone because I knew I had so much love to give. And since I had so much love in me, surely it was meant for someone else right? I just wanted a distraction from the pain of my divorce. I wanted a distraction from the pain of rejection.
Obviously I knew this was so crazy unhealthy. I had therapists and family and friends telling me to make peace with being by myself. But at night (nights are the worst), when you are in the depths of wondering if you will be single for enternity (dramatic I know), it is easy to convince yourself that the next potential person that walks into your life could and must be the one.
For the last few months as a newly single person I have spent a lot of time thinking about a future partner. But what I have now realized is that has been the opposite of what I actually need to think about.
Instead of falling in love with someone else, I need to fall back in love with myself.
Man that felt good to say. Since I'm all about some words, those are the words that are going to be on repeat in my confused and chaotic mind and heart right now: I need to love myself.
I want to date myself. I want to get excited about spending time with me. I want to nurture myself, honor myself, be gentle with myself and fall head over heels in love with myself. Eventually, yes, I want to be the kind of person other people want to date. I want to be fun and kind and loving and nurturing to someone else. But right now I want to be all of this to myself. I need to be all of this for myself.
I know how this works. In fact I've known it since I started dating. "You can't love someone else until you love yourself". I heard that a lot as a dating teenager and young adult thanks to my therapist mother. Of course she's right. She usually is.
But, that statement is a little too black and white for me. I do think I could probably love someone right now. But obviously my path is showing me I need to love me first.
If I start by taking care of myself I have a feeling that I will find my person. Because once I am more whole, I will be ready for my person and they will be ready for me. I will be able to give them the best version of myself. And that's what my future person deserves. That's what I deserve too.
I need accountability though. This blog is the perfect place for it. I can go back and read these words and remind myself of where my love that is building up inside of me needs to go- it needs to go straight back to me (and Owen of course).
I have already started the slow process of falling in love with myself. I recently read a quote that tugged at my heart strings:
"I fall in love like I fall asleep. Slow and then at once".
That's about where I am with myself. I am still falling slowly. It's kind of like my running. For the last 4 months I have become a runner. And each month I run a little farther, a little faster and a little harder. But it has taken time. It has taken a lot of self talk, motivation and a ton of endurance.
I have had some pretty major setbacks in my own love affair where I feel like I have too many issues to work on. But then I have that moment where I tell myself "no. Stop that. You are loving and beautiful and thoughtful and funny and kind".
Yes, I have issues. I'm pretty sure we all have issues. So I am working through mine. And as I do I am falling harder and harder, for me.

Well, in case you missed it (how??) 'Paranormal' was officially released today and is currently at the #1 spot on Amazon in the US which can`t be bad. EarMusic have released a short video announcing the release, which interestingly features a few seconds of the original band reunion in Nashville.
Alice was live on facebook in Stockholm yesterday and you can see the video here. There's also new interviews at Consequence Of Sound, WRIF, Forbes, WCSX, Audioboom, Paste Magazine, Virgin Radio (Italy), Radio X, and WROR.
On top of that there are the reviews at The Guardian, AV Club, Consequence Of Sound, Wall of Sound, PlattenTests (German), and Rock Sins.
Ultimate Classic Rock has an article telling the story behind 'Trash' in 1989.
The new 'Sweden Rock' magazine has an article about 'Paranormal'.
According to something host Johnnie Walker apparently said on his Radio 2 show the other day, Alice will be on the show in a couple of weeks, followed by a "radio special" in about six weeks. No more info on this yet but one to watch for.
Shout Factory will be releasing 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band', the infamous 1978 movie which features Alice singing 'Because', on Spetember 26th on DVD, possibly for the first time?

Walking Dead Season 5, Episode 9 "What Happened and What's Going On" After all the recent trials the group has faced, a slight detour might prove to be the solution they've been looking for.
The word of the week is "cruel," as the Walking Dead writers don't think that we have mourned enough since the last episode. The loss we experience in this episode rivals the sorrow we felt when we lost Laurie. We get thrown for a very very cruel, sad and disheartening loop, as we say goodbye to one of the most loved survivors ever. You'll want to watch the beginning again. Clever cruel bastards.

Locals Only is an occasional feature wherein we focus on a label which specializes in regional reissues. The music of a specific town or area means the world to those who live there, but frequently doesn't make it to the public at large. These labels are trying to bring unheard albums to a wider audience, and for that, we salute them.
Florida's Smog Veil Records has been around for nearly 30 years. The label, founded in 1991, describes the music it releases as "ridiculous, bombastic, and otherwise under appreciated rock and roll from Northeastern Ohio" (we'll get to the Florida connection in a second). They also state that they're for the "post-young," which is especially apt for its series of records under the "Platters du Cuyahoga" imprint. This imprint highlights "Cleveland's long running and rich history of challenging and often bombastic music," and is more than just a reissue label. Many of the recordings put out under its aegis have been unissued until now, and in some cases, they've been found after being thought lost for decades.
Cleveland's history has spawned many notable acts — the James Gang, Pere Ubu, and a host of others — and Platters du Cuyahoga digs deep into the roots of the bands whose roots sustained entire genres. We spoke by phone with Smog Veil's Frank Mauceri about the imprint, and the trials and travails of finding lost art.
Modern Vinyl: So what's your connection to Cleveland?
Frank Mauceri: Well, I grew up there, so I lived there pretty much my entire life, right up until 1998, when I moved away.
MV: Growing up in Cleveland, were you aware of the city's vibrant musical history, or was that something you dug into as you got older?
FM: Oh, no — I was aware of it, straight from the start. There were a couple interesting articles published along the way that were very informative and helpful in keeping the history alive. One was written by Charlotte Pressler…published in the Negative Print fanzine in the '80s, and that really kept the history alive, so I was aware of it. Also, I started going to gigs in 1981 or '82, so I was there, and I was part of it at that time.
MV: From just things I've read over the years, it's always seemed as if Cleveland has two sides to its musical history: the avant-garde punk, and the blues. One's kind of about preserving history, while the other's about knocking it down.
FM: Well, you see, Cleveland has a history of music being performed in nightclubs. In the city of Cleveland, that was a very popular form of entertainment, going way, way back, so the type of music that got performed in clubs in the '70s and '80s maybe wasn't as important as the fact that it was happening, because it was a continuation of what was happening previously.
But the fact that there's this sort of dichotomy that existed between these two types of music? I don't think that's unique, but I do find it to be an interesting observation.
MV: I have no idea how one goes about finding the unreleased gold which has been put out by Smog Veil as part of the Platters du Cuyahoga series. How do you start out – are there just legends?
FM: There's definitely legends. There's sort of mythical recordings which might be lost — might not have even existed in the first place — but we do, basically, old-fashioned detective work with modern techniques applied to it. So, we hunt down people — look for people — every possible way that we can. There's a network of people — friendships that we've developed over the years — that we always start with, because it seems like all those people have attics full of old reel-to-reels and cassettes.
So, that's where we start, but of course, every one of those people has told us about five other people and it just expands out from there. But, like I said, there's just a bunch of detective work involved in going through online social media and databases trying to find people, and if that doesn't work, asking people to ask friends of friends if they know where people might be. For the most part, we're pretty successful at finding people, although there are exceptions.
A lot of these people are, overall, pretty happy to be found out, especially if they're not making music anymore, for whatever reason. A lot of them are just thrilled that somebody is taking an interest in a recording they made 30 or 40 years ago. So, it's a really satisfying job.
MV: What was the music that you discovered that made you think this could be a series?
FM: It wasn't part of a series, but the most popular reissue that we did was the Rocket from the Tombs retrospective (The Day the Earth Met Rocket from the Tombs) 15 years ago. That really got me more interested in digging a little further, especially in the era from say 1967 until 1977, which I thought was really underrepresented, especially in reissues and retrospectives. If there's any one record, that certainly was the one that got me thinking that there needed to be deeper research and understanding into what happened.
MV: That's certainly how I first heard of Smog Veil, because that was really big news, especially in the circles in which I ran.
FM: Oh, absolutely. It was the first definitive retrospective, and also the first authorized retrospective, after a number of unauthorized bootlegs. It was a lot of fun to work on that release, and as I said, it was quite popular, and we sold a lot of it.
MV: Given the age and relative obscurity of the records you're releasing – as well as the fact that, in many cases, this was music which was never released – what are the challenges? For example, didn't that Schwartz-Fox Blues Crusade music come off of a cassette tape?
FM: The only copy we were able to find, I believe, was a cassette copy. It might've been an old DAT copy, but it was essentially a cassette. There are a few challenges in this. Number one is finding the people so that you can license the work, and then finding a master that's of acceptable fidelity.
The second challenge is, of course, promoting the release, because some of these artists haven't recorded or performed in a long time and so, as with any sort of new band — and at that point, it sort of becomes a new band — there needs to be some kind of educating, or some campaign undertaken to let people know about the record.
That's always a challenge, because independent music is a very crowded field. There's thousands upon thousands of releases every year, across all genres, so to sort of step above that fray takes a lot of work.
MV: Part of that work also has to be the remastering. These releases have all sounded fresh and crisp — there's no wobble or tape hiss to be found at all. How did you choose the folks you worked with to restore the music?
FM: Well, thank you for that. We worked with Paul Hamann at Suma Recording in Cleveland, who does all our mastering. Suma is well-known in the Cleveland community, and is well-known around the world, because they have recorded a number of releases there, such as the James Gang and Pere Ubu, and so Paul understands that period and understands the recording techniques of that period. He has a way of just taking masters that might have some issues and crafting that into something that's as close to perfect as we can get it.
Smog Veil Records just announced the next installment of Platters du Cuyahoga Series 2, which is the 1975 album, Terminal Drive, by Allen Ravenstine. Ravenstine was the co-founder of Pere Ubu, and played on many of their seminal songs, such as "30 Seconds Over Tokyo," "The Modern Dance," and "Dub Housing." Terminal Drive has never been issued completely. The only music to have seen official release was a partial excerpt called "Home Life" on the 1996 Pere Ubu box set, Datapanik In The Year Zero. It's due out on September 8, and can be pre-ordered on single-sided red vinyl from Smog Veil.

Full Seahawks draft coverage from this weekend:

Day 3: Seattle Adds DT Quinton Jefferson, RB Alex Collins
Seahawks Trade Up In 2nd Round To Take 'Bama DT Jarran Reed

2016 NFL Draft Live Blog: Seahawks Edition
Thanks to the ever-increasing focus on combine results and mock selections, the NFL Draft has become a major event for millions of football fans. For the teams and local media members, however, the event experience is a bit different — and it doesn't end when the broadcast stops.
Members of the Seattle media gathered at the Seahawks' headquarters in Renton for three-day coverage of the 2016 NFL Draft. Here's a peek behind the scenes…
A banner hanging in the rafters shows defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy, a Hall of Famer who spent his entire career with Seattle.
A photo from the second-floor shows a Chuck Knox banner hanging in the hallways at VMAC. Knox spent nine years as the head coach of the Seahawks, leading the team to it's first AFC Division Title (1988).
A peek into the Seahawks' indoor practice facility.
The wall is lined with the names and signatures of every player from past rosters.

In the defensive meeting room, reporters are assigned seating through several rows of desks facing the draft white board and televisions.
Two local reporters, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times and Stephen Cohen of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, took a few minutes to chat about their experiences covering the NFL Draft.
In years past, the NFL Draft was 17 rounds. That was cut to 12 rounds in 1977, and then to just seven rounds in 1994. By 2010, the NFL Draft had became a three day event — but certain facets have continued to change and evolve.
"They used to let us see a feed where the picks came earlier," says Condotta, when asked about the rules of covering the draft and things that have changed for 2016. "I don't think they want anybody doing that anymore — I don't think it's just an 'us' thing."
Why the change for this year?
"Yeah, the NFL, they really want the viewer experience. Their feedback, apparently, from viewers was that people want that drama of watching it on TV."
This year, 6.3 million people tuned in to watch the three-hour broadcast of the first round. Day three (with rounds 4-7) still brought in more than three million viewers.
"It is amazing what an event they're making it and how they're going to go on the road, and it'll probably be in Los Angeles next year since they'll be back there. And you hear all these towns bidding for it; New Orleans wants it, and that's becoming this big huge [thing]."
Cohen echoed Condotta on recent changes.
"You saw one of the issues was happening in years before were national reporters getting the picks before," says Cohen. "And there was a huge debate as to whether or not we would be the person to break it before the actual thing happened. There was even an issue about showing the kids in the green room on the phone, because that would tip off who someone was getting. So that changed."
(Above: Seattle's first-round pick is listed on the board after day one: Texas A&M offensive tackle Germain Ifedi).
So, what's craziest thing they've seen when covering the draft?
"The year Johnny Manziel was drafted," says Cohen. "This was my first year here. The Dallas Cowboys were on the clock and everybody in the room was sort of convinced that he was going to be the selection. It was a palpable buzz. And this was back when we got the picks early, we were tipped early [by] about a minute or two. But everybody was watching it and I think they ended up taking an offensive lineman, like Zach Martin, and the [media] room just kind of exploded because everybody was convinced that Johnny Manziel was going there. So then we had a minute or two to just wait for the reaction. We were just all watching Twitter and watching the TV, and in the end everybody went crazy."
This year, a video of Mississippi linebacker Laremy Tunsil smoking out of a bong was posted to the top prospect's Twitter account shortly before the draft. Projected in most mock drafts in the top five picks, Tunsil slid down the board before eventually being selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 13th-overall pick. For both Cohen and Condotta, it was the wildest thing to happen this year.
"[It's] so bizarre," said Cohen. "It's such an issue of our time right now. Like, it's Instagram and Twitter stuff. It's so — it just fits right now. It's something that ten years ago, they'd have no concept of what would be happening to a kid falling on draft day because of a Twitter video."
"Obviously the Laremy Tunsil thing was so unique," said Condotta. "And just locally, you know, Myles Jack, obviously. I was kind of watching that, seeing him stumble a little bit. Everybody locally has followed his story a lot and it was obviously kind of disheartening to see that happen to him." (Jack, a graduate of Bellevue High School in Washington state, was ultimately selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round at no. 36).
(Round one is over, but it's a much longer night for everyone at Seahawks' headquarters. That clock on the wall reads 10:17 p.m.)
Reporters have a chance to interview players over Skype or a teleconference after the picks. Thursday, reporters spoke to new Seahawks draftee Ifedi, as well as offensive line coach Tom Cable, GM John Schneider, and head coach Pete Carroll. Day two was much more hectic: with four selections, there are four conference calls and several additional interviews with scouts (as well as an end-of-day interview with Schneider and Carroll).
The room chats with defensive tackle Jarran Reed a few minutes after he's drafted in the second round by Seattle. Reed says he had a feeling Seattle would pick him: "This whole time I had a certain feeling. I thought it was going to happen yesterday with the last pick, but I knew today. Actually right before it happened I told my mom, I said, 'Mom, I'm going to the Seahawks.' I've been talking about the Seahawks ever since the Senior Bowl. I'm just really happy and excited that it actually happened, and my dream came true to play on this defense."
A joke from newly-drafted wide receiver Kenny Lawler draws laughs from reporters. Over the phone, Lawler still sounds shocked about being selected.
Director of College Scouting Matt Berry discusses Germain Ifedi: "We just want big athletes. Length and size, it's ideal. You can't find them looking any better than he does."
(GM John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll fielding questions after round seven.)
Does sitting and waiting to see what select moves the Seahawks make over the course of three long days ever get boring?
"I don't ever find it boring," says Condotta. "I think it's fascinating to see how, you know — you hear for months where all these guys might go and what teams are looking for them, and to actually see it play out, it never plays out as everybody expects. There's always some drama. I was always one of those guys who always watched it, when they first put it on TV in the 80s, I was one of those guys who would spend a nice spring Saturday watching the NFL Draft."
"No, the food's pretty good," jokes Cohen. "I don't know, I just like, I'm kind of a geek about the draft. It's one of the things I always freak out about. I'm just– I'm happy."

My eX and whY: Importance of X and Y chromosomes
- by Super User
in Blog
Hits: 402
Fox TV Channel is showcasing the most successful series and full-length films of 20th Century Fox this month in all American cinemas with wide promotional campaign of their upcoming projects.
Each person has 46 chromosomes. Two of these are the sex chromosomes: X and Y. The combination of two X chromosomes produces a female offspring (XX) while the combination of X and Y chromosomes produces a male offspring (XY).
However, there are times when chromosomes do not combined properly. This results to sex chromosome abnormalities. Some examples are:
Turner Syndrome- individuals who have one X chromosome and no Y chromosome (X)
Klinefelter Syndrome – phenotypically males, but carries two or more X chromosomes (XXY)
XXX females- women who have an additional X chromosome
XYY males- men who have an additional Y chromosome
In some instances, a mutation can occur in a gene which can lead to a defective X or Y chromosome. This defective chromosome can carry a trait which is passed from parent to offspring.

When EDEN Came To Town
For one day only, we caught up with Dublin based electronic producer and singer-songwriter EDEN. We got into the nitty-gritty of his journey to becoming the artist that is known as EDEN, with first-hand experience that you don't have to splash the cash to be a successful international recording artist. Read on for an insight into the life of EDEN and some unexpected tips on how to make your music a living dream…
Hannah: Vertigo is due for release on January 19th. How long have you been writing and working on this, your debut album?
EDEN: A long time. The last song on the album is about 3 years old. I was scared to work on the album as a whole because I knew how much work I put into the EP's and I knew what I wanted the album to be. I didn't feel ready to start the album because I didn't think I could do a good enough job. But then slowly but surely I had an idea and I loved it so much I saved it and started building it up. At the end of 2016 I made 'start//end', and thought this is it, this feels like the album. Then 2016 through to just before the summer of 2017, I had been sketching ideas and writing things down and made a large chunk of the album.
Hannah: Who would you like to collaborate with in future?
EDEN: I really want to collaborate with SZA, but she's become massive recently. Even before 'Ctrl' came out I thought oh my god she's amazing. 'Ctrl' was probably my favourite album of last year. Start to finish it is a wonderful piece of art, but you can't compare albums because everything is so different.
Hannah: What artists other than SZA are you listening to at the moment?
EDEN: I really like the King Krule album 'The OOZ'. I love his writing style. The production and the slinky jazz gloopy feel of the album I thought was so cool. His songwriting is just incredible. I love the way he formulated the songs from a lyrics point. I just really like it as it really resonates with me.
Hannah: You're only 22, do you have any tips for someone trying to emerge into the music industry?
EDEN: Someone was asking me for advice the other day saying she'd like to start putting songs on Soundcloud and I asked her if she had recorded them and she said no, so I said don't feel like you have to get a professional recording of it. There is a phone recording on my album that I recorded on my Sony phone. It doesn't have to be super high quality – you don't need to spend all your money at a studio. If you feel strongly about it, people will find it and you can't please everyone anyway. As you get better, pick up gear as you go, but it took 3 years for me to become EDEN and I'm only just releasing my album. It just takes time, and you can't expect everything to be a hit. But the reality is if you want to do music as a career, do it. I would put music out even if nobody would listen to it. You just have to experiment with it. People over think it too much and don't get started. Just go and run with it. It's the best thing you can do.
Hannah: Do you write songs for other people or would you like to?
EDEN: I used to want to. I used to like the idea of sitting in my bedroom and making music and not doing shows. I thought instead of doing shows I would write songs for other people. I help a lot of my musician friends write songs, but I haven't really submitted a song to someone else yet. I have songs I would never use, I just haven't got around to it, but I would like to.
Hannah: The music industry can be unreliable in terms of making an income. Do you have any tips for people trying to make money out of their music?
EDEN: For me, I was in school when I started making music. I was living with my parents didn't have any bills to pay and I didn't want to sell my music so I put it online for free. I grew my fan base by the time I dropped out of Uni, and thought if I started my music, I could support myself and thankfully, my parents didn't kick me out. So I didn't start selling my music, but I did start putting it on Spotify. I might as well be on the platform if people are using it. So I started making as much money as people thought I would just from Spotify, and that was like wow. There is money to be made there, its just being realistic in what to expect. I don't think you can decide to be a musician and quit your job and start from scratch and that will pay all your bills. So just use all your free time and put music online and build a following so that when it comes to the point when you're finished Uni or your music is taking off, you know what steps to take next.
Hannah: How long did you go to uni for and what did you study?
EDEN: I went for about 2 weeks and then stopped turning up because I was skipping class to make music. I was studying Science because I wanted to be an Astronaut or a Musician. They're both crazy long shots so I thought I'd study Science and get as close to being an Astronaut as I could, and then the music thing happened.
Hannah: Which opportunity has made the biggest difference to your career so far?
EDEN: I think Spotify helped a lot because I didn't want to sell my music so I put my music there and started earning money. It helped as it was a security thing. I was making enough money to live comfortably, and that's kind of making it. At that point, I got to do what I loved all day and every day. And be alive, eat, and have somewhere to sleep every day and not be in a hostel or a shelter. That's freedom in a way. Putting my music on a platform such as Spotify was a good opportunity and opened everything up. When I signed with management at the end of 2015, the first thing that they suggested was to put on a tour. It took it from being an Internet thing to seeing people at these sold out gigs.
Hannah: What is your favourite venue you've performed at?
EDEN: There was one in Washing DC and they gave me an apple pie, I really liked that. I'm a sucker for an apple pie and it was delicious. I played in Brussels and there was this place called La Rotonde, it was one of my favourite shows ever because it was such a weird and interesting space.
Hannah: You've got a massive following on social media. Do you have any social media tips that emerging artists can use to grow their fan base?
EDEN: I've not really cared about having big social media since day 1. It gets to the point where my management suggests I post something. I'll leave my Facebook without a post for about 2 weeks. I didn't have Instagram until about 2015/16. My friend in America actually made my Instagram because he thought I should have it. But I love it now because I love photography. Do what you feel like doing and don't feel under pressure to conform to expectations. You don't have to have social media or use it in the way that everybody else does.
Hannah: If you weren't a successful musician, what career path would you follow? …And you're not allowed to say, Astronaut,
EDEN: I really like driving, so like a racecar driver? When I started having my businesses, Meek Mill sampled one of my songs and this was before I had a manager or a lawyer. I had to work out tax codes and all the information that comes with it. I thought it was really cool, I like the business side.
Hannah: Lorde liked your song 'Sex', how did that feel?
EDEN: I actually thought that was fake. I texted my manager asking if it was a hack and asked who posts on Facebook walls anymore? Then I realised if she was hacked why would the hacker post on my profile? It would be the worst frape ever. It was weird. Growing up in Ireland the music is very UK and US-centric. It always feels like you're looking in and it still feels that way to me to an extent. So she's someone I listen to and she makes incredible music. Not only did she listen to my music, she liked it enough to post it on Facebook. It was nice to know I'm not as separated from everything else that's going on. We haven't been in contact since, but I did see her at Coachella, which was cool.
EDEN's debut album 'Vertigo' will be out Friday 19th January. EDEN sat down with Hannah Marie, the soul fused rocker from London.

Looks like we're knee deep in what the great Mother of God warned about now.
I've cued this up to the most interesting part of the interview. There is a streaming issue which gets resolved further on in the program –
Looks like we're knee deep in what the great Mother of God warned about now.
I've cued this up to the most interesting part of the interview. There is a streaming issue which gets resolved further on in the program –
Just wanted to post on this Good Friday about one of the most misunderstood moments of Jesus' crucifixion. When He cried, 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?' He was employing a technique that most rabbis of the day used while teaching – quoting only the first line of a psalm in order to direct attention to the lesson of it. This psalm was Psalm 22, which every good Jew knew by heart. The Psalm prophesied the situation that Jesus was in at THAT moment and was the prophecy of the suffering Messiah. The Jewish leadership that was at Calvary KNEW this and obviously misquoted Christ in order to save face (Jesus was not calling out to Elijah, known by the Jews as the 'janitor of heaven' often called upon for special favors). So many people today misunderstand that Jesus was teaching AT THAT MOMENT and pointing out the fulfillment of the prophecy of the suffering Messiah to the Jews present. The mocking insults and obfuscation that followed were not due to ignorance, but treachery.
No doubt, this is why wicked and deceived people rage against him…
This is quite amazing and not numerology (satan's counterfeit).
It will also (God willing) happen in the Hebrew year 5777. Wow!
You may have read my post a while back about a possible 'word' I received about Yellowstone on the morning of March 18th. Honestly, it was startling, but since I don't consider myself someone who receives locutions or prophetic messages in the literal sense, I really didn't know what to do with it afterwards other than share it with a few friends who keep on eye on prophetic messages. Anyway, after reading a post about Yellowstone a day later on Drudge, I figured it may be a confirmation of sorts so I blogged about it.
There is a source that has caught my attention recently which I believe is prophetically relevant. A post dated April, 17, 2016, was definitely worth sharing on this site. Here's a link to the main site. You may have to select 'English' for the page to be translated but, nevertheless, I really think it's a source worth watching.
Here's an excerpt from the recent April 17th post –
Pray, My children, pray for the United States; it will fall prey to terror, and Nature overwhelms it, the land trembles, the smoke from a volcano alarms humankind.
This 'word' caught my attention because my 'vision' of a news story read, 'Terrible, terrible, terrible, Yellowstone is smoking,' with a photo of several holes in the ground glowing with fire.
BTW, If Yellowstone were to blow, 2 thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable due to the large amount of ash expelled by the volcano. The eruption also could plunge the world into a nuclear winter.
The Blessed Virgin Mary now spoke: "My daughter, I left the glories of heaven and returned to earth to protect my children."
Bottom line of this prophecy…if one is comfortable in these times, something is terribly wrong spiritually.
Here's a post on the Church-approved apparition in Quito, an area very close to the epicenter of the 7.8 earthquake –
The apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, are obviously linked to the Biblical story of Queen Esther and her intercession before the King of Persia on behalf of the Jewish people.
'Purim' is the day which celebrates the victory of the Jews when a Persian plot to kill them completely unraveled.
Today marks the date on the Hebrew calendar of this remembrance, however –
I'm posting this because of an apparent 'sign in the heavens' that will take place tonight. The moon will be positioned over Virgo (the virgin) next to the king planet, Jupiter, as it rises over the eastern horizon –
Of course, Biblically, we can recall the main players – Israel, Persia (modern day Iran) and the man called Haman, who instigated the plot against the Jews.
On the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Fatima apparitions, it is also important to reiterate the link between Queen Esther and our modern day intercessor – the Blessed Mother, under the title of Our Lady of Fatima.
The only modern-day player who remains unnamed would be Haman, the man who plotted the destruction of the Jews.

As far back as Callum can really remember, he's been living in the Wild as the furless mascot of a wolf pack. But when his pack sends him back to live with his own kind—humans—fitting in is quite a challenge. He doesn't remember English very well, so he accidentally says his name is "Clam." He's spent most of his life eating fresh-killed elk, so dining with vegetarians is tricky. And when he tries to impress the Alpha student in the school cafeteria by stealing food, people seem offended!

I begin every week with a sense of dread about the upcoming QfQ post, rooted in a fear that there might not be any queer comics the entire week. What if every one of the comics' artists are completely aware of what they're doing? What if my usual suspects stay away from anything remotely related to sexuality? What if I'm stuck doing a re-write of The Family Circus and photoshopping the word "cock" into an Archie and calling it a day?
What happens when your work is completely dependent on the silliness of others is you live in constant fear of other people wising up.
Fortunately, this week there are oh-so-many comics to look at. I wanted to save some of them for next week in a special place (my underwear drawer?) just in case there are slim pickin's. Alas, I cannot; they'll grow stale and become useless. This week we have everything from gay dead presidents to gay high school athletics hijinks.
Let's start with this Friday's La Cucaracha:
There is plenty of evidence to suggest that President Lincoln was gay. So when he showed up at The Barrio Bugle earlier this week looking to place a personal, my ears were all a-twitter. After appearing a little uneasy about doing what it takes to impress straight women on Thursday, though, we see his actual personal ad.
What's that? 100% gender neutral "running mate" instead of Single Professional Woman? "No fatties"? "Splitting logs"? Do I need to spell it out?
Now, the question on everyone's mind is undoubtedly "What has become of Lincoln's lover Joshua Speed?" Well, the answer is quite simple. It's 2007. The dude's long dead. That may make one question why Lincoln's still alive, but it's La Cucaracha, and it doesn't have to explain nothing to no one.
Here's Thursday's Gil Thorp:
I'm sorry to take everyone's attention away from the Tyler-got-attacked-and-Brynna-is-framing-RJ drama unfolding at Gil Thorp, but is RJ grabbing his teammate's cock in panel one? Is this part of some desperate and elaborate scheme to prove his innocence?
Also, Coach Thorp's advice in panel two seems to be walking the fine line between Yoda-like wisdom and Nifty-like dialogue.
Wednesday's Family Circus:
If Jeffy's going to be the comics' token gay kid, then does he have to be dumb as a brick? Where's GLAAD on this one? And just what is Jeff Keane trying to say here? I demand answers!
Friday's Beetle Bailey:
The comics censor foul language in a way unlike any other medium. TV bleeps out the middle part of a word, letting one know exactly what was said, print media use dashes or asterisks corresponding to the exact number of letters of the word in question and leaving enough of it there to let anyone over the age of 8 know what word it was, and movies have a ratings system so they can just say the word to anyone able to sneak in. The comics, though, use old-school wingdings to get the point across.
Of course, no one can actually know what's really being said. In this example, @-squiggly-star can mean anything.
So I'm going to read @-squiggly-star to mean "cocksucking".
So, yowza, Beetle! Not only is he insulting his superior officer, he's making fun of his lover for being gay. That hurts! I'd know!
Now, this might make it seem like a pretty unhealthy relationship, but Beetle and Sarge have always had a relationship that was like a violent version of The Lockhorns' love/hate-but-mostly-hate relationship. Wait, no, their rhetorical deathgrip on one another is just about as unhealthy as a relationship can get. Oh Beetle, just end it gracefully.
This Friday's Bizarro:
Yep, just giving a foot rub to get the job. Totally a foot rub.
Last, but not least, Monday's Slylock Fox:
Alex: Did you see that one Slylock Fox with that massive and muscular bull who was almost naked and pretending to take a bath?
Friend: Yeah....
Alex: Were you turned on by that?
Friend: No, that's stupid.
Alex: Uhhh, yeah! It's totally dumb. Just, uhh, making sure you thought so too.

The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3 is a case study in why remakes should not be made or seen. The former because of a simple fact; this remake fails to improve upon the original (but how could it!). The latter because it makes anyone who ever considered watching the original – a classic dramatic thriller from the 70's – wonder what made that films so good in the first place.
I can not make my case against this train wreck, pardon the pun, strong without a comparison to the original, for this film exists because of it. In the 1974 version, the opening sucked you in right away. It had a graceful way of setting itself up – very quietly, very ominously, set to David Shire's now legendary score. The men committing the hijacking of a New York subway train were almost all identical, because they wore fake facial hair and referred to themselves as Mr. Green, Grey, Blue or Brown (this marvelous technique of concealing identity from their victims was later paid homage to in Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, which may even be considered a continuation of the events of this film, had it ended slightly differently). But because this is a Tony Scott film, the opening itself is breezy - there is shaky camera work, quick cut editing, colour filters, rapid zooms, onscreen text, and courtesy of inspiration from google maps, railway lines that appear onscreen marked with arrows showing locations, directions and distances. Being the poster child of ADD victims everywhere, Scott, who certainly lacks his brothers technique of using technology to aid his film, also includes written text to let us know the time left before the terrorists will start killing passengers if their demand for ten million dollars is not met – apparently the same information given to us by people speaking is not enough, reiteration of simplistic themes and ideas becomes necessary all throughout the film.
The perpetrators that carry out all the work we see are led by John Travolta in a new low for him. To cite the greatness of the original yet again, the leader of the group then was an anonymous British mercenary. His quick thinking and merciless decisions were lethal. Travolta on the other proudly displays the extreme angst of being treated unfairly by the city by cursing profanity, being mean, psychotic and temperamental. All of this is laughable, like seeing a baby throw a tantrum. His tough guy shtick just doesn't work here. If Scott wanted the real deal, they'd just get Ice Cube, not Travolta's ex-wallstreet yuppie straight out of prison with fancy tattoo marks.
Denzel Washington, who seems to have signed some sort of exclusivity contract with Scott, tries to make his transit officer the voice of reason and concern, but is lost in a setting full of "Noo Yawkers", including hammy James Gondolfini and John Turturro, who project every stereotype known to pop culture about this city. Perhaps the only thing which I found meaningfully better here was the sometimes amusing banter between the two leads (Scott's forte at work), a far cry from the cold, distant, direct conversations in the original, but even this kept pandering to pseudo-psychoanalysis. Where the storyline in the original worked as a chilly reminder of how an ordinary day could believably turn into act of insurrection, the remake tries to cover up its massive narrative and logical shortcomings by pimping it with not one, but two jazzy car chases, both of which are seen as long lasting, rapid blurs on the screen. Scott's Pelham even has his trademark shoot out scene, you know the one he's featured in nearly every film since True Romance where a group of people opposing each other suddenly yank out their guns for no reason and shoot each other dead. Like an idiots guide to New York, the film is too simplistic and incredulous. How do the terrorists hope to escape? With today's technology why can't they try something more effective (hint, Die Hard 4.0…)? But of course, this is a studio remake. The name is supposed to sell opening day tickets. By all means, watch The Taking of Pelham, just make sure it's the original. - Faizan Rashid

Stubbs-Register House, Ashburn
Thanks to Chris NeSmith for the identification. Neal Wynn notes that it was built by the same Macon architectural firm that designed the John Evans House. It likely dates to circa 1897-1900.

Controlled Burn, Turner County
Surrounded by forests, most South Georgians are quite familiar with the controlled burn. The practice has applications ranging from sustainable forestry to land clearing.
It's generally seen as a good practice and helps reinvigorate the land for numerous plant and animal species.

Camp Mt. Bethel, 1940s, Turner County
This was once the site of Camp Mt. Bethel, a campground of the Georgia State Association of Free Will Baptists. The property is located on an unusual natural landmark, distinguished by Ashburn Formation sandstone outcrops, that was a favorite recreation spot for early settlers of the area near the West Fork of Deep Creek.
I understand that the campground operated from circa 1948 until at least the late 1980s and holds many good memories for those who spent time here.

Sparrow's Nest, Ashburn
This is a long overdue correction which replaces a post from 2011. Becky Shingler Anderson clarified some confusion I had about this house when I first photographed it. She wrote: This was the home of my great-grandfather, James Simon Shingler. It is not the childhood home of Betty Shingler Talmadge. Her childhood home is across the street. Sarah M. Cook added: This is the Sparrow's Nest. It was the Shingler's home. They owned Shingler Heights, five blocks of residential buildings and one institutional building in Ashburn, which was constructed from 1895 to 1937…Its most elaborate structure is "Sparrow's Nest," built by local turpentine and agriculture entrepreneur, J.S. Shingler. Many of the homes in the historic district were built by Shingler's relatives.

Bas Rutten has worn many a hat on his shiny dome in the past 20 years in the fight game.
A successful kickboxer in his native Holland, Rutten became one of the first stars of Japan's pioneering Pancrase circuit, a mixed rules promotion which preceded the UFC. He would later reign as UFC Heavyweight Champion among others, and enjoy success as an MMA trainer whose pupils include Duane Ludwig. Along the way, he produced an infamous street self defense DVD, and began a career as an actor.
Today, the charismatic Rutten is known best as an MMA commentator. As host of AXS TV's "Inside MMA" program, Rutten celebrates the end of every year by handing out his awards, "The Bazzies."
Some are easy to predict. Rutten splits "Fighter of the Year" honors to female and male categories — awarding Ronda Rousey and TJ Dillashaw respectively. Dillashaw also earned "Upset of the Year" for his victory over Renan Barão at UFC 173, where Dillashaw won the UFC Bantamweight Championship (pictured above). "Fight of the Year" belonged to UFC 171's vacant welterweight title bout between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler.
Others are a bit more obscure. Rutten crowned Demacio Page as "AXS TV Rising Star of the Year." Page also earned "KO Punch of the Year" for his stoppage of Brian Hall at Legacy FC 36.
But what might be a bit more fun are Inside MMA's companion piece to "The Bazzies" — the "Not-So-Bazzies" which highlight some of the more bizarre moments in the MMA year.
Here you go:

Just My Luck
today was other good day...well until about 6:45.
only ate
half a packet of snack a jacks
but then my mother insisted i have dinner
i cant really say im not hungry as it will set off alarm bells in her head that im ana again.
chips carrots and cod.
yes in fucking batter.
i do actually like it. until i think of all the fat in it
that will hang on my huge thighs forever.
then i feel sick.
so i ate half of it.
then my boyfriend came over.
i couldnt believe it, he saw all my thinspo on my laptop.
the nosey thing was lookin for pictures of me to put on his fone, then he stumbled across the hundreds of pics of skinny girls. he asked me an what it was about, and i said i needed pictures of girls for a school project.
oh god i hope he didnt think of me havin a ED.
he didnt say anythin else tho. i hope his is too dumb to figure it out.
and just after he left,
i found my head burried in a tin of chocolates. well fuckin done me.
there is a reason for this binge...ive come on.
that explains it. so im not too pissed.
even tho im worried that i wont have lost as much as i wanted to this week.
does anyone have any excuses to miss dinner with the parentals?
cuz im drawing blank.
please leave your suggestions
and i will welcome them with open arms lol
lovee you alll

Hey there, just found your blog and thought I'd say hi!ReplyDelete
Parents are the toughest to handle. I'm so happy that I'm on my own now. But I suggest, getting home after dinner, especially if you drive. You can always say you just ate, or you picked up something on the way. But if your parents are know about Ana in your past it will be harder.
Another good thing to do is take food out of the fridge when no one is around, throw it away where no one will see it. Or down the garbage disposal.
Don't beat yourself up if you have to eat. Tomorrow is another day!
Love your Thinspo!
<3 Eva
if you get home before parents they never believe the "i already ate" thing for too long.ReplyDelete
Make a massive sandwhich with something that makes a mess, rip a bit out of it and leave in a plate. Put the rest at the bottom of the bin.
Sit in the living room with the plate when your parents arrive you can show the piece you got and be like "Christ I missed lunch and was starved, I think I stuffed my face to much!"
Leaving crumbs and pieces around also work.
You can also say that you are dieting. Like Special K?
So just fill a boll with milk and cereal, throw it away and put it in the washing machine.

change file upload/overwrite settings
Hi I have power CMS and want to alter the file upload settings so that files with the same name are Not renamed e.g. fileupload.pdf if already exists is changed to "fileupload(1).pdf" and so on.
Can anyone help.
+ it would be a great addition to the product if people could delete files they have uploaded... currently I can't see a option to do that either.
If there is a solution for either of the above it would solve my problem.
Thanks in advance

Proper research for a book im writing and I want info to be accurate
Hello, Im planning on writing a book that involves child abuse and as i dont want to insult anyone or write anything wrong, I was wondering if anyone could help put me in the right direction or know of anyone that wants to have a chat about how it and how I should get it across on paper. Thankyou <3
Re: Proper research for a book im writing and I want info to be accurate
Hi IWANTTOHELP , This is really appreciable. You are doing a great job. I think a proper awareness about physical and emotional abuse, after effects and tips to deal with such abuses would help people to handle such situations. It is hard to convince children about such abuses. Abuses will affect children in different ways. It has long term effects and that might spoil both the physical and mental health of the child. Recently I read an article on how emotional abuse affect the hearing...

I am so sorry for what you have been going through.... I have gone through mental, emotional, financial, physical abuse committed by my husband, who proved to be a monster... A monster who knew how I was feeling, but didn't feel it himself. This gave him a great advantage, because he was able to understand what I was thinking, it's just that he wouldn't care, so he can use ME against myself.
