This song is based on two compositions I wrote years ago. The two different parts blend perfectly, so I decided to make one song out of it.
I recorded it using three different guitars of my collection.
I played the lead part using my custom fretless guitar plugged into my Micro Synth effect from EHX. I'm using four different voice mixes of the same filter sweep setting. It sounds unbelievable. I am amazed of the different sounds I can get using different pickup Selection. I also used the fretless to play the baseline in the first part of the song. I only used the EHX Micro Synth's octave down setting to get this Moog bass sound.
The two other guitar parts feature my Harley Benton RB-612CS Classic Serie and my custom Stratocaster sporting the Graph Tech Acousti-Phonic Kit and lipstick pickups from GFS. I used almost no effect on the 12 string guitar. Only some reverb and a bit of compression or for some part in the middle of the 15/8 section.
The same goes for the Graph Tech Acousti-Phonic Kit. I tried to keep the natural sound of the guitar as close as possible to the sound I get from my amps.
As always, I played the bass part using my Squier VI and drum track uses various drummers from EZdrummer plugin.

"Burberry's confirmed you." And I was just like, "What?!"
I'm from Coventry in the UK, but I live in London now because of work. My parents were born here, but my grandparents were born in India; they're from the Punjab. When I was 13 and living at home and going to school, I used to get scouted a lot by different agencies. But there aren't really any modeling agencies in Coventry, so I didn't pay any attention to it; besides, I didn't really look like model material at that age. (Laughs)
But I kept the cards I got and when I was 14, I came in to Models1 agency with my mum and I got signed on the spot. I remember Googling them and it said, "Europe's Top Agency" and I thought if I get signed, I want to get signed to the best. I stayed in school afterwards; Models1 were really supportive of that. I'd always planned to go on a gap year once I turned 18 just to give modeling a go because even though I was signed, I lived away and I hadn't really given it my all.
The day after my exams for my A levels, I got a call from Models1 saying Burberry had requested for me. This was three months before the spring '14 show. I met Elliott Smedley, who's a stylist at Burberry, and the casting director, Leila. They asked me to walk for them and I'd never walked down a catwalk before, not even at Models1. I'd never even done a show! (Laughs).
I had these heels on, they had these crazy diamond straps and they were so, so high. My feet were wobbling and I couldn't walk, and as soon as I finished I said to Elliott, "I feel like such a klutz!" And he said, "Don't worry, we love you. Can you wait and meet Christopher [Bailey]?"
Ten minutes later, Christopher came down and he was so nice, we got on straight away. He asked me about school, and I walked for him and he said to me "You're going to be our new Burberry girl." But because he's so nice and it all just felt like a dream, I thought, OK, this is never going to happen, I'm not going to get my hopes up.
I called Models1 in the evening to see if I had any castings for the next day and they said, "Burberry's confirmed you." I was just like, "What?!" (Laughs) And they said, "Yeah, Burberry booked you as a global exclusive for London Fashion Week." I was so shocked.
Because it was three months in advance, I couldn't even tell anyone, it was so tough! On the day of the show I uploaded a picture of myself to Facebook and everyone was like, "Is this for real?" (Laughs)
It's really funny because my parents weren't actually there for the show. They'd booked us a family holiday because I did really well on my A levels, so they were in Turkey watching it on the live stream. I couldn't be there but I didn't mind because I've literally become so close to everyone at Burberry. They're like a family.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje will be the BJP's chief ministerial candidate in the upcoming assembly elections in the state, party president Amit Shah said on Saturday.
"The assembly election will be contested under her leadership and she will again become the chief minister with a thumping majority," he said at the concluding session of the BJP's state working committee meeting.
"The party will once again form governments in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh also," Mr Shah added, referring to other assembly elections to be held later this year.
He asked party workers to remain dedicated and work hard to ensure that the BJP retains power in the state and also wins the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, according to a press statement.
Mr Shah said the welfare schemes launched by the Raje government have been appreciated across the country and suggested that party workers should base the election campaign on them.
Ms Raje exuded confidence that the party will get more seats this year than in the last assembly elections, and will also win all the 25 Lok Sabha seats in 2019, the statement said.
The working committee meeting began yesterday but Mr Shah came to Jaipur today to address the concluding session.
Suman Sharma, chairperson of the state commission for women, told reporters that Shah gave a "clear message" that Ms Raje will be the party's chief ministerial face.
MLA Ashok Parnami said Shah urged that every BJP worker should dedicate 18 hours a day for the party for the next few months.
"The party workers are full of energy and fully charged," Parnami said.
State Housing and Urban Development minister Shrichand Kriplani claimed the BJP will get than 180 of the 200 assembly seats in the elections due later this year.
Mr Shah also attended a function in the city for the wedding of Union minister Narendra Singh Tomar.
Union Home minister Rajnath Singh also arrived here in the evening for the wedding function.
Addressing a separate meeting of the Rajasthan BJP's social media cell, Shah said the party's cyber warriors would set the agenda of the elections.
He asked them to take the work done by the central and state governments among the masses through social media.
During his meetings, Mr Shah accused the Congress of playing "negative politics".

The Book of Mormon prophet Lehi likely lived most of his life in the Old World during the reign of Josiah, who ruled Judah from around 641 to 609 B.C. Josiah is most famous for enacting a number of drastic religious reforms during his reign which resulted from him royally mandating the book of Deuteronomy and including it in the Mosiac law. Among the reforms demanded by the book of Deuteronomy, Josiah centralized worship of Yahweh (Jehovah) to Jerusalem (2 Kings 23:19-20); he removed the religious iconography from the Jerusalem temple, including the asherah and pillars (2 Kings 23:6; cf. Deut. 12:3); he executed priests of gods other than Yahweh (2 Kings 23:5, 20); sacrifices outside of the temple were forbidden; and he attempted to shut down the 'high places,' which were temple-like sites across Judah where local peoples traditionally worshipped Yahweh (2 Kings 23:8-9, 19-20; cf. Deut. 33:29).
The Bible speaks extremely favorably of Josiah and his reforms: "And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him." (2 Kings 23:25) Indeed Josiah is only one of two kings spoken of favorably in the Old Testament history, along with his great-grandfather Hezekiah who attempted a similar reform.
But perhaps Lehi of Jerusalem did not look very favorably on Josiah's reforms–or at least his son Nephi, who authored the narrative of 1 & 2 Nephi, didn't. Nephi says, "For I, Nephi, have not taught them many things concerning the manner of the Jews; for their works were works of darkness, and their doings were doings of abominations." (2 Nephi 25:2, emphasis added) Indeed in his narrative of his father Lehi, Nephi seems to intentionally contrast his father with the corrupt Jewish religion brought about by Josiah's reforms and attempts to associate Lehi with the more ancient pre-monarchic traditions.
After a brief introduction, Nephi begins his narrative by recounting a theophany of his father. Lehi was praying for the people of Jerusalem when suddenly a pillar of fire appears and dwells on a 'rock' before him (1 Nephi 1:5-6). The image of the "pillar of fire" draws from the Exodus account of God guiding the Israelites through the wilderness, which is associated with the Tabernacle imagery–perhaps used by Nephi in order to contrast Lehi's manner of worship with Josiah's 'corrupt' reform of the temple. Nephi also claims the pillar comes and dwells on a 'rock', from the context likely referring to an altar. Per Josiah's reforms, sacrifices could only be offered by priests at the Jerusalem temple. Lehi was neither a priest nor was he at Jerusalem. After Lehi and family depart into the wilderness, Nephi explicitly notes, "And it came to pass that he [Lehi] built an altar of stones, and made an offering unto the Lord, and gave thanks unto the Lord our God" (1 Nephi 2:7). Again, per Josiah, sacrifices could only be offered by Levitical priests and at the Jerusalem temple. Lehi clearly disregards Josiah's new religious laws. Similarly Nephi ordains his brothers as priests and the Nephites build multiple temples in the New World, contrary to Deuteronomistic law.
Also in his initial theophany, Nephi describes Lehi seeing "One descending out of the midst of heaven, and he beheld that his luster was above that of the sun at noon-day" (1 Nephi 1:9). Describing deity in solar terms isn't extremely common in the Old Testament, but it does occur, and is likely reminiscent of an older Israelite theology. Psalm 84:11 describes Yahweh as "a sun and a shield." In some ancient Near Eastern inscriptions, the bull–a symbol for El/Yahweh–is portrayed with a solar disk above him or between his horns. As part of Josiah's reform, he removed the solar imagery in the temple: "And he [Josiah] took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun at the entering of the house of the LORD…and burned the chariots of the sun with fire" (2 Kings 23:11). Nephi's description of deity using empyreal imagery stands in sharp contrast to Josiah's condemnation of solar imagery related to deity.
Then in his narrative Nephi includes a brief statement that, at first glance, seems odd and out of context: "And my father dwelt in a tent" (1 Nephi 2:15). However, as he did at the beginning of his narrative, Nephi seems to be emphasizing his father's living condition in order to associate his father with the pre-monarchic narratives in the Old Testament. According to Genesis, the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Genesis 12:8; 26:17, 25; 31:24) each traveled and dwelt in "tents". Abraham and Jacob both built altars and offered sacrifices after pitching their tents, exactly as Lehi does. Were Nephi just interested in telling us his father's living conditions, it seems odd that he would mention it multiple times, that he would mention it in such a context, and that he would single out his father–didn't Nephi, Sam, Sariah, etc. live in a tent too?
Later Nephi details an elaborate vision his father experiences (and which Nephi later shares in experiencing) which focused on the tree of life (1 Nephi 8:10-11; 11:8). The tree of life imagery is likely associated with the asherah, the images of which were expressly forbidden in Deuteronomy and were removed from the temple by Josiah. The tree of life imagery perhaps recalls an earlier, pre-Josiah tradition associated with Eden and the temple.
Nephi's distaste for Josiah's reform makes sense. Lehi and Nephi weren't native Judeans. They were descendants of Manasseh and thus likely immigrated from the northern kingdom — perhaps at Hezekiah's request a century before (see 2 Chronicles 30) during Israel's collapse. They would have been accustomed to different sacrificial laws and would have likely worshipped at 'high places,' the local temple-like sites where sacrifices and prayers were offered. Indeed the Nephites may have preserved a more ancient–and simpler– form of Israelite religion, largely untainted by Josiah's reform.


text: As most of you know, "Be Your Own Miracle" is what I end every blog with and what defines our mission. The words are self explanatory and has individual meaning to all of the people who choose miraculous over lifelong behaviors. Darla is a prime example of how one person's health journey becomes a miraculous celebration of a strong and high functioning life. Darla was told to walk only short distances and to "take it easy" with exercise due to knee, back, and shoulder issues. She decided to take a different approach and to see how exercise could benefit her and not hurt her. She sought to lose weight, get stronger, and reduce pain. She struggled at first due to her age, metabolism, and being new to resistance training. And even though she ate perfectly, she did not lose one single pound for three months. Darla became her own miracle when she decided to NEVER give up on her goal of strength and great health. She kept fighting and slowly began to lose weight. She remained consistent and gained physical strength she had not experienced in years. Darla eventually lost about 70 lbs and is feeling much less pain than she has in years. She walks daily and still works as a teacher, helping adults new to this country read and write. And she did all of this after age 65. What does it mean to be your own miracle? Darla defines it and you can too. Please take care of your health and stay as strong as you can. There are many like Darla out there. BE YOUR OWN MIRACLE!

September 28, 1985, was a black day for British television: The day when we said goodbye to a programme children like me had been weaned on.
World of Sport ran on ITV for 20 years in competition with BBC's Grandstand.
Fronted by the legend that is Dickie Davies, it was a glorious hot-potch of sports coverage – often showing things which weren't popular with the British viewing public such as hockey, water-skiing, stock car racing and equestrian events – back in the days when there weren't a trillion TV channels.
Kids like me watched it for several reasons: Firstly, to avoid the black and white western film on BBC2; Secondly, for its football preview show On The Ball; Thirdly, for the half time and full time footie scores; And finally, for the guilty pleasure that was wrestling.
This evening modern-day gladiators with names like Skull Murphy, Robbie Dynamite and Rampage Brown will battle it out at the Victoria Hall in Hanley – evoking memories of the halcyon days of wrestling in the UK.
The Vicki Hall has hosted the sport since the 1950s and been witness to some truly epic contests.
It was one of the venues World of Sport would switch to at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon.
The stars of wrestling in those days truly became household names – people like Mick McManus and Klondyke Kate.
Then there was the unparalleled rivalry between the 40-stone Giant Haystacks and crowd favourite Big Daddy.
Some of the wrestlers were so good as both sportsmen (and women) as well as actors that you had to remind yourself that they were faking much of the action.
Although clearly many of the people ringside – including old ladies brandishing brollies and handbags – either didn't realise or didn't care as they made their feelings about the villains plain.
Indeed, it is hard to believe the atmosphere, the noise and passion generated by spectators watching something which was akin to pantomime.
Arguably the greatest British wrestler of them all from those days, and the one who was a Kendo Nagasaki – alias Peter Thornley who was born here in Stoke-on-Trent in October 1946.
Like many stars of the ring, he had a back-story. But Kendo's character was more complex and fascinating than the rest which led to him becoming one of the most popular performers of all time.
The masked warrior claimed to be a Samurai with a mysterious past and the power of hypnosis.
He first rose to fame in March 1966 when he defeated and unmasked the legend that was Count Bartelli (AKA Geoff Condliffe, originally from Crewe) after a bruising bout up at the Victoria Hall.
For years he refused to remove his mask and reveal his true identity and would often maintain a stoic silence in public. However, five days before Christmas in 1977 he took part in a ceremonial 'unmasking' in Wolverhampton which caused a sensation in the wrestling world and only served to add to his reputation.
During this period, the Potteries wrestler was managed by the flamboyant and immaculately-attired 'Gorgeous' George Gillette.
Kendo was famed for his strength and in one televised match once lifted the 26 stone Shirley Crabtree (later known as Big Daddy) above his head before finishing him off with a trademark 'Kamikaze Crash'.
He went on to become the WWA World Heavyweight Champion and throughout his career performed in front of royalty – including the likes of Prince Philip at the Royal Albert Hall.
Kendo claims never to have been defeated – although he was disqualified on many occasions.
He finally retired from wrestling in December 2001 – exactly thirty years after making his debut on the canvas.
However much fun the crowd has up Hanley tonight and however good the current crop of wrestlers may believe they are, I dare say none could have stood toe-to-toe with our Kendo – the most enigmatic and talented of his generation.

This morning in prayer, the thoughts came to me in a way they never have — "You have been intimately and lovingly active in my life personally every moment since the womb until right now 60 years later."
So for 60 years, or 720 months, or 21,900 days, or 525,600 hours, or 31,536,000 seconds — God has personally been intimately active toward me, with me, for me, and concerning me. Let us think for a moment of all of His actions toward us every second of our lives.
– He created me and placed me in exactly the place and period in history best for me.
– He put me with exactly the people (family and setting) best for me ultimately to mold me into His purpose.
– He shaped and kept me in life, even though I had no knowledge of His love, His work, or His ways with me.
– He kept me from life-destroying and life-ending choices and accidents numerous times.
– He kept me from marriage relationships that would have been wrong.
– He led me to the right education places best for me.
– In just the right year, at just the right age, in the exact month, and on the very best day possible, He revealed Himself to me and saved me, at just the right age.
– He began to teach me His ways even from the first week of my conversion.
– He brought me several excellent books in the first year of my walk that were the best ones I could have read.
– He gave me Christian friends who helped me as a new believer.
– He called me to the gospel ministry, though I was unfit and unworthy of it ever.
– He brought into my life the people, books, influences, and experiences that would best shape me for Christian life and ministry.
– He has patiently endured my ignorance, weakness, and mediocrity.
– He has kept me from dying in accidents that happened that would have certainly killed me otherwise.
Let us think of all He does for us, not only all through life, but every day, and every moment —
My Heavenly Father, through the Saviour's mercies, has been with me, led me, taught me, forgiven me, been gracious and long-suffering toward me, provided for me, kept me through many dangers and snares, preserved me from wrong decisions, forced me toward right decisions, lavished kindnesses and blessings upon me when least deserved, kept my heart beating and lungs breathing every second for 60 years, given me many dearest Christian friends, sent encouragements and provisions when most needed, answered hundreds upon hundreds of prayers. He thinks about me, loves me freely and unconditonally, is continually with me, sustains me, is patient with me, daily condescends to be near me, love and encourage me, makes His Word fresh to me, gives me guidance and help in preaching and pastoring, loves me in spite of my many short comings, and . . . . . . . . . . . I could go on and on and on and on.
If the Psalmist says, as he does in Psalm 139, that His thoughts of us are more than can be numbered, then what am I to think of that–what am I to do with that? Just humble myself and let me heart love Him more.
How good, how gracious, and kind, loving, tender, merciful, and large-hearted has my God and Saviour been to me. Deserving not even one of the least of His mercies, He has lavished untold and unbelievable grace, kindnesses, and loving acts upon me.
This morning, Lord, thank you for all of it– thank you for being who You are, thank you for all you have ever done, for every way and time you ever worked and acted in my behalf, and how you have kept me all my days, totally by the power of God and not because of anything in me.
All the way, God has been at work for me and great grace has been my portion and I am thankful.

Ice Cream Games
Children can have fun scooping play dough as if it were ice cream. First make various colors of play dough and put them in ice cream containers. Make forms stating how many and what kind of ice cream they need to scoop. Children check off the forms after they scoop the amount of play dough stated into separate dishes. (This activity can also be used with the book "Curious George goes to an Ice Cream Shop".
Let the children use tongs to transfer cherries (red pom-poms) from one sundae dish to the other. Great for fine motor development!

Waldo Canyon Fires
Hi, Roberts Johnson with Cool Denver Homes. Can you believe all the fires that are going on here in Colorado? Rachel and I were watching the Hayden Fire when the Waldo Canyon fire started. That's in Colorado Springs close to where Rachel's parents live. We thought no big deal until yesterday when the winds turned ugly and the fire began to take off. We were in Colorado Springs a week ago for Father's Day and took a t drive through Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. We even went by the Flying W Ranch which is where Rachel held her 1st job. As we listened further, last night the fire got closer and closer to the populated areas. We were sure her parent's house would not be in the evacuation zone. Then we heard the fire was moving north and the Flying W Ranch was burnt down. Then her parents got the evacuation notice at the same time as they started evacuating the Air Force Academy. We watched on TV houses burn that we had just seen the week before.
You don't really think about these things until someone you know is in the middle of it. I think we all know of someone or knows someone that is going through this right now.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected!
Think of me when you hear some say they have to buy or sell a house and then tell them about me! Then call me and tell me about them!

The directors said the award "gives us the courage and conviction to continue to keep pushing at the envelope – of cinema, of documentary, of art."
The award for the best performances in this category was shared by Jamie Blackley and Toby Regbo, who star as dysfunctional schoolboys in uwantmetokillhim? "I'm absolutely over the moon," Regbo said.

The International Competition was also won by a documentary. United Arab Emirates-born Mahdi Fleifel, who's lived in the UK for thirteen years, was praised for his film A World Not Ours, which follows three generations at a refugee camp in southern Lebanon. The jury said it loved the film's "warm regard for the people at the heart of the film" and said a difficult subject was handled with confidence and humour.
Back after a two year absence, the Audience Award went to Anthony Wonke's Fire in the Night, another documentary – this one about the 1988 Pip Alpha North Sea oil rig disaster.

On the same day, a bomber blew up his explosives-laden car outside an intelligence headquarters in Baghdad, killing at least 11 people, while nine lost their lives in another explosion in the city of Tikrit, located 140 kilometers (86 miles) northwest of Baghdad.
The Monday bomb attack came as Iraq has faced brutal violence by Takfiri ISIL militants across the country's north and west since early June. The crisis has deteriorated in recent weeks, as the militants have swept over new towns in the north, forcing members of the minorities out of their homes.
The ISIL terrorists have threatened all communities, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Izadi Kurds and others, as they continue their advances in Iraq.
They have been committing heinous crimes in the areas they have taken, including the mass execution of civilians as well as Iraqi army troops and officers.
The Iraqi army, backed by thousands of volunteers, is engaged in fierce fighting with the ISIL militants to push them out of the captured areas.

Steve says team selection always judged on performances
Steve Davis has told the club's official web-site that he will continue to try out different systems to get the best out of his team. The Alex boss has been reluctant to make changes for changes sake this season, giving the players currently in possession of the shirts enough time to stake their claim for regular football.
The likes of Alan Martin and George Ray kept their places for the opening games of the season due to their consistent displays in pre-season and Davis explains that fairness is a major part of his man-management.
Steve told crewealex.net: "I think we have done okay so far this season, but the players know we can do better. We should have more points than we have, but on the other hand our performances can improve.
"We have looked fairly comfortable in the 4-2-3-1 and our approach has been good. We have created chances in every game, but we will look to improve and look at different things. In time, we will get better.
"I have selected players on merit. The likes of Alan (Martin) and George (Ray) started the season in the team because they deserved to be in. They played well and trained well over pre-season and in any walk of life, if you work hard then you should be rewarded.
"You have to stick with your players and give them a chance. Putting them in the team and then taking them out after a mistake isn't the answer. We are about producing players and giving them that experience as well.
He added: "I have always managed like that. If a player deserves to be in the team then I will pick him. I don't have any favourites and everything is done on merit."

Tempting Chicken Fingers 3 Ways
Chicken fingers are one of those small pleasures in life. Juicy morsels of chicken with a crunchy coating cooked to perfection--finger food that never goes out of style.
My obsession with chicken fingers deepened when I got my first job right out of culinary school as a private chef. I had a vision of whipping up gourmet fare, tuna tartars and rack of lambs, but there were a lot more requests for comfort food done the healthy way.
So that's when I created a large repertoire of chicken fingers, that are both tasty and more nutritious from add-ins like sesame, Parmesan, quinoa, and chia:

Tracking your website performance is fairly easy using Google Analytics. Just sign up for an account and implement the code snippet. You can do more!
Tip 1. Subdomain tracking
If you have multiple subdomains you must tell Google Analytics. You can configure that at the 'trackinginfo' tab.
All you have to do is switch it on and start filtering by subdomain (see the screenshot below).
Don't forget to add the new Google Analytics code snippet that is provided.
Tip 2. Site search tracking
If you offers site search, make sure you know what visitors search for. You can use this data to optimize your content. Go to your profile settings and enter the query parameter that you use in your website. This is probably something your Content Management System (CMS) provided by default. For example, Drupal uses the query parameter 'search' (see the screenshot below).
Tip 3. Click tracking
With default settings Google Analytics doesn't provide any data on click tracking. Google does provide you with some tools to track any kind of click (or all on-page clicks). Add this code to each link you want to track (example is for outbound link tracking):
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Outbound clicks' ,'http link']);
Please read my earlier blog on tracking outgoing links with Google Analytics.
Tip 4. Page speed tracking
Site speed is one of over 200 SEO signals used by Google to rank a page. By default Google doesn't provide any data on site speed. You can add the following code to the existing tracking code to measure page speed.
Now you are able to detect which code is slowing down your website.

Subscribe To Rob Zombie's New Movie Keeps Getting An NC-17 Rating, And He's Beyond Annoyed Updates
I've already subscribed
Rob Zombie movies can get, for lack of a better word, intense. With blood, gore, and sex ruling the day, his love for the days of grindhouse films has rubbed off on each film he's made, with the same level of intensity throughout. So the fact that his latest film, 31, has been rated NC-17 isn't a surprise. It's the fact that it's gone through two separate evaluations with the same result that's frustrating.
Zombie broke the news on his Facebook page, during an update on the film's on-going march to its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next month. As you can read in his status update below, this film does not have an easy ride from post-production to the silver screen:
Well, after two tries through the MPAA our rating on 31 remains NC-17. Maybe three is the charm to get an R rating. Why R you ask? Well, because your local theater will not show an NC-17. Even though you are a fucking adult... things much be censored for your enjoyment.
If an NC-17 film could be shown as widely as an R rated film, you could tell that Rob Zombie would release the film into theaters in a heartbeat. But the cold, hard reality is, like the man himself said, if a movie lands the infamous rating of NC-17, it has pretty much no chance at wide distribution. Just ask anyone involved with the release of horror indie Lucky Bastard, as well as Blue Is The Warmest Color, and they'll tell you that if a film is unrated or slapped with the most restrictive rating on the scale, it's probably better of going onto VOD.
So what's so bad about 31 that's cursed it with the worst rating possible? Well, according to Zombie's post, the following descriptors were attached to the MPAA's decision.
For sadistic graphic violence, bizarre sexuality / nudity, pervasive disturbing images and some strong language.
Basically, the film sounds like the usual fare that accompanies a Rob Zombie film, and he hasn't had too many problems getting films like Halloween or even the original House Of 1000 Corpses through the censors without making too many cuts. It's hard to put our finger on just what could be so different about 31 that sets it apart from all of the other Zombie films. If we were to venture a guess, we'd say that the personal politics of the MPAA are what is dictating this specific decision.
While violence in the media isn't any more widespread than usual, the fact that active shooting incidents were outnumbering the days in the year at one point might have convinced the MPAA to obliquely shut down 31's chances of being seen by audiences. Those in power may feel that having a film showcasing, and in some viewpoints glorifying, the lives of vicious criminals could only add fuel to the fire. In any case, we're hoping that the MPAA and Rob Zombie somehow strike an accord that has the film seen by the audiences, and with the least amount of drama possible.

After trying to play that part multiple times with no success, I converted the ISO to an MKV (using makemkv) and I was able to play past the part where it had stopped earlier on VLC. When I try playing this file on Kodi, it plays fine but I can't fast forward/rewind/seek through the movie. The TV screen shows the frame for that second but remains stuck in that screen while the info bar shows that the movie is continuing to play. Is this a known issue?
Not something known about. If you can provide a sample file that shows the issue, that would be useful.
Otherwise a debug log (wiki) when the problem occurs may have some clues.

Blackberry v. iPhone
The smart phone world is a constant competition for the best device, most user friendly software, and the chicest look. It's all about having the coolest gadget. Although, the Blackberry once was the go-to for business, the iPhone has now become the popular new business smart phone. The Blackberry was popular because of the keypad for email. However, the iPhone now sets the industry standard and you'll often see small businesss owners to tech gurus sporting the newest iPhone. My iPhone was such a desirable device that it was stolen and I was left temporarily with my back up phone from years back… my good old Blackberry. I did not realize prior to this how reliant I am on my iPhone for business and personal emails, my calendar, To-Do list in my notes app, the navigation app, and things I take for granted(more…)

Overflowing bins and front-yard turned into a dump at 98 Greenwich High Road
Reported in the Rubbish (refuse and recycling) category anonymously at 17:26, Saturday 8 June 2019
Sent to Royal Borough of Greenwich 4 minutes later
The ground floor at 98 Greenwich High Road seems to be boarded up and its front yard has been turned into an outdoor dump with a pile of black bags and broken furniture. It's a private property but in full view of everyone walking up to the town centre. A total eyesore almost in front of Greenwich train station! And it starts smelling in the hot weather. Wonderful welcome sight for tourists and locals. Also on the pavement outside the house there are overflowing green bins with all kind of rubbish that are never emptied by the Council. Please take them away at least!

I think the Council could and should do more. given that this load of rubbish affects the amenity of the area and could host rats and other pests.
As per the Council's own Code of Practice ( https://www.gov.uk/ government/ uploads/ system/ uploads/ attachment_data/ file/ 221087/ pb11577b-cop-litter.pdf):
"Litter Clearing Notices (EnvironmentalProtection Act 1990, sections 92A-92C).Principal litter authorities have the powerto issue Litter Clearing Notices where land in their area is defaced by litter or refuse and this is detrimental to the amenity of the area. This power was introduced into the 1990 Act by the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005"

On Saturday, a new ceasefire came into effect in South Sudan. But within hours it had been violated - terrible news for millions of South Sudanese in the midst of their "lean season", when food stocks are low and heavy rains can arrive suddenly, washing out roads and links to lifesaving assistance.
July marks the peak of the hunger gap, when harvests are depleted just as new crops are planted. Without food distributed by aid groups, an estimated 7.1 million people - more than half the population - would go hungry. Continued conflict makes humanitarian access to many areas extremely difficult, as well as being deadly and disruptive for civilians.
Read more: For medical workers in South Sudan's war, just reaching the sick is a challenge
"The conflict must end," World Food Programme Country Representative Adnan Khan told IRIN. "It's one of the main causes of hunger in South Sudan today, forcing millions of people to abandon their land, homes, and jobs, putting them at risk of hunger. We need both peace and sustained [humanitarian] access to succeed."
The civil war, now in its fifth year, has claimed tens of thousands of lives, displaced more than four million people - either to other parts of South Sudan or to neighbouring countries - and, along with poor governance, done untold damage to the oil-rich country's economy.
On 27 June, President Salva Kiir and his rival Riek Machar agreed that a "permanent" ceasefire would come into effect within 72 hours, and that humanitarian corridors would be opened up.
But, like numerous previous ceasefires, it was violated almost before the ink dried. The latest agreement builds on a flawed 2015 peace accord that has done nothing to end the conflict, and many analysts believe it is also destined to fail.
Without lasting peace, international aid organisations fear little progress can be made to help stem hunger in the world's newest country, which has one of the world's worst levels of food security (access to enough nutritious food for a healthy life).
"Food security goes beyond seasonality," explains Alemu Manni, a project manager with the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. During conflict, "people are not able to cultivate their land and are forced to flee the country, disrupting their livelihoods."
During last year's lean season, an estimated six million South Sudanese experienced severe food insecurity. According to the FAO, this number dropped to 4.8 million after crops were harvested, and the number of people living in conditions of famine fell from 40,000 to 25,000.
Mary Amaik and her family sit in their small house in Pibor, South Sudan.
"All of our activities and lives revolve around food. It's an all-consuming thought," says Mary Amaik, a mother of six who has lived in Pibor for the past two years.
Pibor, a small town close to the Ethiopian border in eastern Boma State, lies on plains at the source of the Pibor River. It has a small market and an unpaved airstrip that fixed-wing aircraft can't use during the rains because of the mud. So most aid is now flown in by helicopter, which is much more expensive.
South Sudan's rains are dramatic. In just a few minutes, roads turn into streams thick with sticky mud, making it almost impossible for cars or trucks to pass. The rainy season runs roughly from May until October - just the time when people are hungriest.
Heavy raindrops hit the corrugated roof of Amaik's home like a drum roll, the water washing off the dust and gushing into the thick, earthy soil.
"During the rainy season, my garden floods and the majority of my crops are destroyed," Amaik says. "Right now, it's a challenge to get food." During the wetter months, she explains, it's impossible for traders to reach her town by road.
"Even if we have money, there is no food in the market," she says.
Agricultural yields have declined since the civil war broke out in December 2013. South Sudan is expected to produce a half a million fewer tonnes of cereal this year than its population requires, a shortfall similar to 2017.
Much of South Sudan's food is now imported from Uganda, brought in along roads where armed attacks and looting are common. Yet even when supplies arrive, the prices keep them beyond the reach of many.
The bags of sorghum in Amaik's house were distributed by aid agencies. Sorghum, the main crop eaten in South Sudan, has risen in price almost fourfold since 2016. During the height of the last lean season, the price peaked at 560 percent above the previous year.
Food insecurity is categorised into five "phases" of severity. The most extreme phase, "catastrophe/famine" was declared in the towns of Leer and Mayendit in northern Unity State in February 2017.
This year, limited access has made it impossible to gather the data needed to accurately assess the situation in some parts of southern Unity State. Recent fighting forced aid agencies to postpone deliveries of emergency food supplies to Unity.
"It was the hardest area to collect information from, but we know it's an area of high concern," says Philip Dau, director of monitoring and evaluation at the National Bureau of Statistics for South Sudan.
"We also saw indicators for food insecurity in Pibor, although these are not pointing to 'catastrophe'. Sometimes, there are indicators - such as lack of food - but we find no evidence of crisis," Dau explains.
Lack of access is a constant issue as the conflict fragments among more armed groups, according to Obia Achieng, chief of field operations for UNICEF in South Sudan.
"Nationally, we have conflict between the main parties," Achieng explains. "Locally, there are dynamics between leaders, smaller conflicts linked to cattle raids, and communal conflicts which limit our access," he says, adding that it's difficult to deliver long-term assistance to children and women in south Unity. "But we are trying," he adds.
A woman in Pibor prepares sorghum for her family.
For some South Sudanese, joining the conflict seems to be their only chance not to go hungry.
Martha, 15, is from Likuangole, a town near Pibor that is impossible to reach by road during the rainy season. She and her mother joined a local anti-government militia called the Cobra, hoping for better security and access to food.
"Likuangole is full of hunger. It was too difficult and that's why we left," Martha explains. "Many people from my town went to the bush. I carried luggage and food for the soldiers and they raided villages and cattle so we could have food," Martha recalls. "We did it for the food."
They recently left the ranks of the militia and returned home to Pibor. Martha attends school but says she's struggling during this rainy season because of the lack of sorghum and vegetables.
In Pibor, as throughout South Sudan, women are largely responsible for planting and harvesting.
"Men - even my husband - tell me that I am 'just' a woman and that I don't have rights. We do all of the field work and the planting," says Amaik. "I think that men are part of the problem when it comes to hunger. The situation is worse, because they don't work much."
Stefano Temporin, who heads the South Sudan office of German NGO Welthungerhilfe, says many young men are often away from their homes at cattle camps. They "only return to their families with the start of the rainy season. Others may have been drafted by the various armed groups," he says.
Although aid agencies provide food, seeds, and farming tools, people here frequently eat only one meal a day, gathering fruit from the forest. Sometimes, they are forced to kill their scrawny cows - often a family's only asset and also widely used as dowry payments - for what little meat they provide.
"People in some areas are employing harmful survival tactics to try to tide them through tough times, including eating less, rationing, and [reducing] the diversity of food," says WFP's Khan.
For Amaik and her family, sorghum and wild fruits are their mainstays.
"During the rainy season, people migrate to Pibor from the villages, so they are not cut off from the market," she says. "It's better in Pibor."
As for the people living in rural, secluded areas with little access to food, she notes: "I don't know how they survive."

Dear Friends, Family, and Others,
Following some practical advice a fellow professional writer and good friend gave me, I'm finally uploading my writing samples onto this blog so that you all can see what I've been up to and so future employers can get a snapshot of my writing experience in one place.
I've been tiptoeing down this path for several years, having planted seeds for my career as a writer as far back as my college days at NYU and in the creative department of Ogilvy & Mather thereafter. Now I am finally taking larger, more intentional strides toward my dreams.
My boyfriend recently observed that I walk loudly on my heels. Um....OK. I'll try to lighten my gait a little around the house but, conversely, I hope my steps down my life path are even more heavy, full-footed, and ear-splitting than ever. Some days the path seems clearly marked and other days I'm bushwhacking, but I've never been one to need a map. And these days, I don't really mind who hears me coming!
In addition to the Fit Pregnancy and Kiwi Magazine pieces (please click on the thumbnails in each post to see larger versions), I recently put together a nursery design piece for MOM magazine (to be posted upon publication) and am writing web copy for Donna Karan home products as seen in the following links:
I look forward to the day when I'll stomp loudly over to my computer to post about my first design book or novel. Until then, I'll devour every freelance writing position with passion and continue to pause here and there along the path, breathing in gratitude for everything and everyone that's gotten me this far.
With love,
Saturday, July 31, 2010

No. Movie fights are purely meant to entertain the audience. Big flashy movements, with large, heavy shiny weapons and armour usually do the trick.
However 'back in the day' where HEMA was still used in actual combat (during the 15th century for example) such utter nonsense would get you killed. HEMA is a highly evolved martial art for which many, unknowingly, gave their lives. Those that lived to tell the tale taught the new generation and so it went on and on until in the 16th century when the rise of hand held guns and social changes created distance. The distance was created both between people and the battlefield as well as between the people on it.

The Benefits of Umbrella Insurance
There are various people who want to make sure they have enough insurance coverage in their personal life. With all of the online information today, the entire process can be overwhelming.
What is It?
One of the most common types of insurance coverages is umbrella insurance. This is an insurance option that will cover you in a variety of different circumstances. For example, if you are a small business owner and someone injures themselves in your store, you could be held liable for the damages. However, with this type of policy, you would be covered from financial loss. This type of policy typically covers things that do not fit into other insurance packages.
Who is it For?
Anyone who is a small business owner needs some sort of coverage in this area. In addition, if you have a significant amount of wealth, this is a great coverage option for you. Umbrella coverage will save you a lot of time and money if you are in a situation that you caused. Some people like to sue others who have a lot of money. This will protect you in that event.
How it Works
If you have an issue in your life where someone sues you, you can simply call your umbrella coverage company to get help. They will walk you through the process that it will take to receive your coverage. As a general rule, umbrella coverage is one of the easiest insurance options to deal with.
Different Coverage Options
There are various coverage options in this area to choose from. The biggest variable to consider is how much monetary coverage you need. The higher your net worth, the more coverage you need.
Cost of Coverage
One of the biggest benefits of umbrella coverage is that it is really inexpensive compared to other insurance coverage options. There are many people who are investing in this coverage just to be safe. This is a great investment for your peace of mind.
