Following up acclaimed releases on respected labels Bad Taste and Terminal, US production trio Audeka present their debut 'Lost Souls' LP on MethLab Recordings. 3 years in the making – these 15 tracks take listeners on a diverse journey through incredible sound design crossing drum and bass, dubstep, techno and experimental genres - sometimes hard-hitting, other times verdant and lush, always with a deep appreciation for complex structure and texture. Featured by UKF and supported by Noisia and Moody Good – the Lost Souls LP represents a firm step into the sphere of electronic music, demonstrating the depth of Audeka's diverse and unique vision.
The 15 tracks of the LP tell a story of a warrior crossing dimensions to confront a powerful dark force that took his people – a quest to be re-united with his love. Each track is accompanied by a unique illustration from revered alternative artist SHVLFCE, as well as a narrative released through the MethLab social media channels and soundcloud..
There exists a forgotten future dimensional plane, a time and place where technology is indistinguishable with magic and black science is pursued by those who would wish to unlock the secrets of reality. In the depths of the planet's darkest night, whilst the village of Ethrane slept in the embrace of the mountains above - a trio of explorers of the veil between dimensions were about to break the barrier between this universe and the next…
It was the sprawling face of black eternity that greeted them, spilling through the rift and eviscerating them - flooding through the deep tunnels of their order's bunker and up into the cold, free night. It moved swiftly, sleekly positioned between dimensions and descending upon the village below. Rapidly it fed - blinking the unaware citizens with precision across time and space with its bleak fields, displacing their purest and most prime out of existence and across the dimensional skein.
In his virtual dreamstate a horror swept over him, rising from the depths of his psyche and flooding his entire being with an overwhelming chill. Yet still it was nothing alongside the yawning silence that greeted him with the encroachment of dawn. There remained only the smell of her hair upon his pillow, a vacuous depression on the bed beside him and no signs of life in their living space. The usual activity of the village stirring in the streets outside was absent, something was deeply wrong. Velok pulled himself from the bed and cried out, but was answered only by the silence of a reality that overwhelmed him, beyond comprehension. He stepped outside and climbed the watchmen's perch to the still burning fire, but it was also vacant… the village below deathly silent. He held the pendant she had given him, the fire echoing the chaos of his inner core...
The edge of Ethrane was where she dwelled - she who was stuck perpetually between dimensions, flickering across parallel universes on a microscale time-cycle - the oracle of the multi-fates, the bridge between worlds. Velok made his way through the bleak dawn to the shrine in the depths of the forest, careful to follow the footsteps implanted in him by his parents, and the generations before them. She was waiting for him, swathes of her energy wrapped around the trunks of nearby trees, feeding from the current of the central altar and the pathway to the other dimensional layers. Her voice entered the depths of his mind gracefully, illustrating the vast and intricate horrors of the being from the other side, the entity that had taken his people so mercilessly. They were alive but on the precipice of dark fate, ready to be fed on, to be opened up and experimented upon, to feed the infernal biomechanisms of the creature's desire. It was not beyond hope… he could reach them… but the fates of their liberation and his life were obscured by darkness...
Velok carefully found his way back to the village, the knowledge of the dark path ahead of him embedded in the depths of his soul. The sapping tendrils of fear were interweaving with his core and he knew what he must do. Descending to the catacombs beneath the village habitats, where the bodies of past generations lay dormant in the chill obsidian hallways, wrapped in the slumber of death. He sat at the foot of his family's crest, the chamber where the voices of his ancestors could penetrate his soul and strengthen his will. In stillness he uttered long unspoken words, summoning the tireless spirit that drives the very urge to survive, allowing the ancient nanotechnology of their people to blend with his bones.
Feeling the strength of his ancestors coursing through his body, his senses heightened, his movements swift and precise - he journeyed into the heart of the mountains, to the portal through which the great darkness had spilled. The bunker of those who had opened the doorway lay ahead of him, reaching out of the stone with towering menace.. powerful distortional energy still spilling up through the gaping entrance and reaching up into the bleak skies above and seeming to sap the very life from the surrounding reality. The microcomponents under the surface of his skin came to life, reacting to the immediate threat that reached through the air towards him - the field was quickly cast around him, repelling the cold and deathly dimensional tears that sought to eviscerate his body and rip him from this existence. Without delay he passed the threshold of the entrance, stepped into nothingness...
His consciousness was crushed by the pressing weight of infinity, a heavy darkness that pressed against his mind until he was nothing - immersed in the void. Thin tendrils of awareness crept back back to him, he didn't recognise his surroundings.. a black forest loomed oppressively in his view with scattered points of light between the gnarled and twisted trunks of those bleak trees. They were moving.. more of them appearing in the dusk-like light of this obscure realm.. he could make out their bodies - almost formless, morphic entities gathering in the blackness pushing towards him. Quickly pulling himself up, he drew his blade before him, hacking at the closest horror with its gaping, ghastly appendages and slicing it apart. Sensing death the horrors moved with sudden speed, slaves to the dark eternity of this place.. seeking to mangle and deform, extricate the shivering life from warmer beings. Their touch was deathly, abrasively tearing at his skin… Velok focussed, cutting apart his new enemy tirelessly, ending them mercilessly until he remained alone.. panting under the infernal skyvoid.
Beyond the horrors of the forest, a scarred landscape greeted his eye, aching and tired from the perpetual gloom in vile harmony with the lingering pain in his skull from the dimensional transition. But there upon the horizon, a pale cyan glow was present - unmissable against the dull backdrop of the forsaken light of this place. A memory of this light, implanted by the oracle surfaced urgently in his mind… His advancement across the wasteland toward the source was arduous, his limbs felt as though the very landscape was draining his energy by contact. Thoughts of his lost love pulled deep to his core, compelling him toward his fate - the shadow of a vast structure cast by that discomforting blue light. As he drew close, its magnitude impressed itself upon him fully, towering into the void above, surrounded by menacing obelisks scrawled with inhuman glyphs… a vacuum formed inside his gut, the overpowering terror of reaching his destination.. the fear of what he would find of his people. There was no time to hesitate, the entrance beckoned his perception, the sharp hooks of destiny pulled him within.
The interior of the keep was blacker still, sub-frequencies permeating the structure and making the stillness feel yet alive with morbid energy. Interference was running through his implants, he sensed their inactivity and felt alone, unprotected. Picking his way through the labyrinthine stark corridors to the nexus. The low hum intensified in the passage, the air became much colder - difficult to breathe.. Pulling his cloak tight around him he ducked through a nearby opening to search for brief respite. A brief thought activated his gland through instinct, coursing agents to heighten his senses in the gloom around his system. He was not ready for the ghastly sight that creeped through the darkness into his awareness… the distorted bodies of his people, victims of horrific experimentation - their forms cut, mangled and respliced - leering out of the gloom with undead eyes, implanted with vile mechanisms, animating their twisted forms to obscure disturbing purposes in the darkness. Reeling with horror, his eyes moving swiftly across the deformed mass of his kinsmen, hoping, praying not to see her in this morbid tangle, he staggered back out of the desecrated space of life beyond death, pushing onward to the core.. conserving his breath within his chest, heavy with sorrow… determined to save her from this fate
His descent into the deep cold of the keep's core was arduous, his limbs starting to fail as ice tendrils began to spider against his very skin. He emerged into an unfathomably vast chamber, lit by subtle undulating lights of intricate, ancient technologies - beguiling to the eye, without betraying the truth of their vile purpose. Life was imprisoned here, digital souls extracted in a slow process of exquisite torment from gradually dying bodies before their flesh was experimented on - then uploaded to the vast server mechanism to stretch out their suffering and feed on their infinite pain… the oracle had allowed him to glimpse it, even in nanotime it threatened to overload him. In the center of the space, the towering guardian of these servers stood silent.. the archdemon that worked tirelessly in its torment of the souls stored within. Velok knew what he must do - approaching the imposing mechanical creature cautiously but quickly, getting within range of his implants. Activating the subcutaneous transmitters, he established a bridge between them… the efficient subroutines of his ancestors burrowed rapidly through the beast's firewalls, before plunging into and carving through its digital consciousness.. severing its connections to the horrific servers and leaving its mind reeling, dying, consuming itself in the virtual domain. Defensive codes fired too late to save it, but not too late to cross the retracting neural pathway plunged in return into Velok's mind.. he staggered, mind flipping to blackness with the impact on his system.. fell into nothing once again.
Severed from reality, detached from his corporeal body… his consciousness formed an echo of his image… drifting through the expanse of the virtual realm that now imprisoned him. The bridge back to reality, to that other dimension, was gone, part of him had been pulled across into the digital void… what remained of the archdemon's code dissolved around him. His own code was broken, incomplete.. fragments of distorted, unrecognisable memories.. deep discomfort, purpose and direction lost with his fractured self. He was dying.. his incomplete state, unsustainable.. his integrity dissolving, he had to return to himself, to re-complete his mind before being lost completely in the digital ether. Other trapped souls drifted toward him from the abstract, beckoning his broken form toward them.. moving as he could, he followed - his decomposing cortex failing.. they reached out to him. A structure loomed out of the ether, flickering into life as fluid energy strobed across its translucent surface.. a portal.. the veil… he reached towards it with the last of his will, disappearing into its tender, powerful embrace
Drawn into a sea of stars, born into a world of shimmering beauty, the fragments that were Velok orbited his central core. Concentric circles radiated around his broken form, strands of life interweaving his components - rebinding them… reforming him, completing him with universal grace. Codes splicing together in beautiful harmony, igniting memories and neuro-virtual pathways - his consciousness flooded through them, ravenously poring over them feeling everything again as for the first time. His lover's face upon waking, her neck covered by the fine threads of her golden hair, hands touching, palms spread, fingers dancing eternally intricately, her delicate smell weaving itself into the very fibres of his being.. twisting away into that gaping void, the absence of his completion… taken, stripped away from their dimension by that sprawling darkness… powerful energies coursed through him, drawing everything from his surroundings, his mind birthed - roots penetrated the virtual skein, drawing great power from the grid, his components twisted into a trunk that reached up into the heights of the mainframe - sinuous branches reaching out from his core into the digital ether, wrapped in renewed virtual mist-like fields of his ancestors algorithms. They found their mark connecting to the substructures of the system, over-riding the protocols that trapped him, transferred momentary energy burst to the archdemon's corpse and the bridge re-activated - mind spilling over into his body - he snapped awake with a sharp intake of breath, eyes wide in horror and determination
Still on his feet, back in the real.. mere nanoseconds had passed - his body just starting to fall to the ground. Muscles tensed, he snapped himself back, renewing the grasp on his blade, feet firm with absolute resolution - there was no time to waste, hope remained - his love might yet be alive. Striding past the now silent mechanism of the archdemon he crossed the chamber to the only other doorportal, moving with all of the speed his will could push his body to. The corridor was heavy with dark energy, a morbid passage filled with dread and interference - but he was indifferent, focussed, driven by ultimate universal forces. He slowed as he approached the far opening cautiously.. bewildered by what he saw there… as though the laws of physics ceased.. a broken landscape, parts suspended in the air, overlooking an endless dark crevice… there were people.. his people.. he'd found them.. he fought the urge to rush forward and cry to them - something was wrong - they stood, hunched without motion.. alive, but lifeless.. a great deformity stood menacingly above them, gargantuan tools of death in its limbs, bristling with technology… one of his tribe was kneeling sullen before the monstrosity as if uttering a quiet plea… then several things happened in the same moment - as it raised its obscene tools, twin cable like appendages leapt forth from it ghastly head unit, plunging through the very eyes of his kinsmen and burrowing into his skull. The victim's scream pierced Velok's heart, their body quivered within the onset of death's rigid grasp.. through his implants Velok witnessed the energy transfer, the digitised soul passing with agonising slowness out of the soon to be corpse… Those vile weapons swung down as the process completed, severing the body brutally into 4 pieces - extracting any remaining bio-energy left within what had once been a person, before coldly sweeping the remains into the bleak depths of the crevice. Velok stood aghast in the face of the overwhelmingly quiet blanket of death, looking over the forms of his people waiting for that terrible fate, and then he saw her.. that golden hair spilling over her cast down face.. incapacitated, unmoving.. silent.
Deep rage birthed within Velok's core, overwhelming him… enveloping him completely, the scent of his kin's blood in the air… his love before him - alive, but resigned to that horrendous fate ahead. Everything that mattered lay before him on the precipice of death. Adrenaline coursed through his veins, flooding his system - pouring through him with its dark and potent energy, overlaid with the clarity of his sensory enhancements. Pulling his energy shield from his back and tightening the grip on his blade, he charged forward from the obscurity of the portal doorway and into the broken landscape. He crossed the divide quickly, weaving through his people's inert forms and making straight for the accursed shaman. The monstrous entity perceived him quickly, twisting to face him with that deathly mask - his sensors picking up the impending particle displacement, Velok pulled his shield up just in time to absorb the pure energy beam that issued from its frontal tusk. Without pause, he pushed forward - shield ahead of him, deploying a dense wave of cyberattack clusters to run interference on his foe. The energy beam stopped, Velok dropped the shield, watching the hulking cybernetic organism reel from the invisible attack on its system infrastructure..
He closed the remaining distance in a moment, the entity towering above him - the great weapons it held in its deformed appendages swung down with deadly intent. But something was happening within Velok, time slowed as the broken world around him came into sharp clarity. Layers of reality peeled away, revealing dimensional architecture of pure, breath-taking complexity and depth. Components and code inside him merged, his ancestors technologies transforming within him, combining with hidden artifacts left inside his system by the oracle - aligning and perfecting his system, unlocked by the terminality of this moment. He had stopped in time and space, those great scythes fixed in place above him, unthreatening, still… he witnessed his orbfield flicker into life powerfully, particles of energy flowing from him up into it, slowly intensifying in the stillness of the moment.. time resumed with a strobing flicker of existence. The orb around him grew stunningly bright, releasing a wave of pure energy, expanding relentlessly throughout the cavern and leaving only silence in its path. The dread shaman's arms fell limp, implements of death falling loudly to the ground beside Velok as it's corpse tumbled back into the depths of the crevice. Velok stood firm and still, anchored in the present.. washed in the glowing power of his form. Then he remembered… looking back toward his people, he saw them stirring… moving.. as if waking up from a horrific dream and testing their newfound freedom. His love was standing, staring in his direction with tear-filled eyes, then he was falling… his vision slipping away into glitch.. she was there over him.. her tear-filled eyes cutting through him.. he spoke.. then his mind left him.
She watched, eyes wide, body frozen in place, looking across the fractured terrain at her orb-encased lover, as the creature who would have been her death fell away behind him into the great nothingness below. His eyes locked with hers for a brief moment, even from that distance she felt the recognition and it cut through her, melting her fear and the fresh memory of entrapment on the path to her own end. She felt the gaze break, as his head twitched upward and he started to drop fluidly sideways to the ground below, taking with him a part of her… a piece of her soul cracking and falling away like a glacial iceberg into the pit of her core. She was running, hair flowing behind her, tears streaming across her face as she crossed the distance, breaking apart in time as her heart bled into the fibres of her being. Down on her knees, straddling him.. holding his face as she watched life depart him. A single word… 'live..' spilled from his dying mouth and with that, he was gone. She cried out, holding her dead lover in her arms, soaking his body with the wet salt of her tears, holding her saviour… her people's saviour. The others, coming to terms with their changed fate, gathered around her, placing their hands upon her back, holding her world together. Picking her up, and gathering up Velok's lifeless body, they took in their surroundings.. holding him aloft with her in their midst, giving what comfort they could… they started their journey home, back to that dark gateway at the breach of their own reality.
Elsewhere in the keep, the infernal servers that incarcerated so many souls were still active, now free of the malignant tormentors that had kept them in their own virtual hells for what seemed like eternity. Something was happening within the system, Velok's journey to that digital realm had left a part of him on the other side - a fragment of ancient code that was now doing its work, reconfiguring infrastructures and passing control to those locked up inside, their corporeal bodies now long dead. The morbid digital void was breaking apart, cracks of golden light fracturing the dank artificial world. Lost souls looked up toward the breaking dawn as the vile stagnant atmosphere of their oppression was stripped away. As the landscape changed around them, they were lifted skyward, their broken, fragmented selves returning to complete states, memories returning.. the horrors washed away. Tranquility ascended the serverspace as the souls within were born into a new world of their own making.
And Velok himself… let's say he had started a new journey beyond this time and space, beyond the possibilities of storytelling.

I don't give a rat's ass about retro-gaming. I like Halo, I like Mass Effect. I didn't grow up playing Mario or Zelda, and the only Final Fantasy I played was three minutes of FFIV. A lot of what happened in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World I only had a minor grasp on in terms of the references that we'd expect from Edgar Wright, but what's important in a movie like this is that the experience comes through, and these references, while over my young head, certainly made that happen.
Here's a movie that's all about creating a visual world, creating a look, moving rather quickly, and being unique. The visual effects were constant, over-the-top, but organic, and perhaps that's what keeps this from being something like ever other comic book adaptation that's even been made: its reality is apart from our own, wheras the X-Men are grounded in our drab contemporary world, making everything embarassingly pulpy, despite it trying its damnedest not to be. By being self-aware, Scott Pilgrim feels confident in everything it does, and is technically strong.
When the first 'evil ex' flies onto the scene, it doesn't seem strange because the audience is trained to accept bizarre imagery, even though the previous imagery manifested out of the mundane. The opening moments of the film work to establish the new world over the one we accept as reality – transitioning us into bigger and better set pieces.
This sense of pace hasn't been seen in a PG-13 action movie in God knows how long, probably since The Rundown from nearly a decade ago. It moves along swiftly, and the forward momentum is helped along by visual playfulness, for example during the fight with Brandon Routh, where he seems to teleport to another place once he's off frame.
Action directing is more than choreographing and shooting fight sequences (an art that's lost on many a filmmaker, East or West), a lot of it comes out of the storytelling. Story? Just like in Die Hard, Commando, Crank, Doomsday, Hard Boiled – it's nothing to write home about. It's got a good premise, but the real kicker is in the way it's told. Plot points are hit with precision, and the characters are what drive it forward, amped up on those absurd effects.
Of course, the most noticeable thing about a character, to me anyway, is who it's being played by. The faces that came up in this movie really shocked me. I was just as shocked and pleased to see Thomas Jane making a small appearance as I was in seeing Southland Tales, and he's only one of the many cult actors having a laugh in this movie. Aubrey Plaza essentially reprises her role from Parks and Recreation, a show that may not sound any good, but trust me Season 2 or whichever one just ended, was shockingly good. Then we have guys like Brandon Routh and Chris Evans, your typical leading men-types, playing these comic assholes – and it works.
And then we have Kieran Culkin.
After seeing Igby Goes Down, I pretty much wrote the actor off entirely. Every delivery he made in that movie made we want to reach into the screen and punch him, and when Jeff Goldblum of all people finally did it, I cheered inside. That movie was terrible and I was under the impression that he was the worst part. When I saw that he was in this movie, I didn't even have time to say, "God this guy sucks," because whatever first came out of his mouth had me dying. He was easily the funniest character: Scott Pilgrim's gay roommate who always makes the punchline and has a wonderful but subtle relationship with our hero. Very surprising.
Michael Cera, who gets a lot of hate for playing the same character, worked here because he's a believable dweeb. He's clumsy and the scene that best encapsulates this is his first attempt to pick up Ramona Flowers. He tries to tell some story about the origin of Pac-Man that he related earlier, and he stumbles and shares an incredibly awkward laugh with himself before stalking off and saying, "Do you mind if I never talk to you again?"
There were moments in this movie that I laughed out loud at, and since I typically try to skip watching comedy movies, making rare but important exceptions (Black Dynamite), it was refreshing. My general philosophy is 'why spend 90 minutes watching something designed to make you laugh if you can just research Nicolas Cage Losing his Shit and get multitudinous more entertainment value in a fraction of the time and cost?' Yeah, Step Brothers might be funny, but it wasn't seemingly custom tailored to make me laugh like some videos you can find online are. They're bound to be there because there's so many, whereas there's only a few comedy movies, and aren't they all kind of the same?
Invariably, the two characters will have some sort of bromantic break up and there'll be a classic walking montage right before they team up for the end of the movie. Pineapple Express was a surprisingly funny movie until this moment, and I was just too distracted by how formulaic it all became.
Unless you do find yourself watching a comedy like Black Dynamite or It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, or anything directed by Edgar Wright, there's a good chance that the movie wasn't a labor of love. Comedy is the biggest cash-grabbing genre I've observed (sci-fi is sometimes balanced by a Children of Men every five years), going for the leading men like Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller (though they are kinda… 2004), and playing it safe.
Is it just to dismiss an entire genre like that, when this site is devoted wholly (mostly) to the legitimization of one? Of course not, but too many comedy movies seem to be coming out just because damn it, we need another comedy movie. That's why we're going to start seeing comedy franchises like The Hangover, and pretty soon we'll see comedy franchise reboots. You know how Hollywood is. It's been years since I've been excited to see a comedy movie that was released wide in the theatres, and historically I've enjoyed trash like Zoolander and Anchorman, but it's not high entertainment like Scott Pilgrim. It doesn't fire on all cylinders, and those movies don't have to be such extravaganzas, but at least have a fucking R-rating, for Christ's sake.
This Unrated-Cut for the DVD nonsense is old. To be fair, it works equally poorly for horror and action like Terminator Salvation. What the hell was that? Or how about The Chronicles of Riddick? How do you make a terrible movie terribler? There's your answer.
Well, as long as I'm keeping this informal and unorganized tone and style, I'm excited to see Super 8 this weekend. Anybody else?
One more note about Scott Pilgrim – Mary Elizabeth Winstead is definitely the actress to look out for. She's great in every single last role I've seen her in (Death Proof, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), she's super attractive, and wouldn't you know it she's got a great singing voice. Let's hope The Thing prequel doesn't suck, but I don't think anybody was kidding themselves (except for me).

The Alberta Educational Department has partnered with the Canadian oil and gas industry in drafting new educational curricula for its elementary schools according to a document posted to the Alberta Education website. The new educational program is expected to take effect in the 2016 school year and reform the curriculum of grades K-12.
Despite Canadian support for tar sands oil projects and the Keystone XL pipeline falling to 52 percent in December from 68 percent in April, the decision to include the oil and gas companies in early education is supported by Education Minister Jeff Johnson. Johnson believes that in order "to build a relevant education system, we need the voice of the employer, the business community, economic development — we need those people at the table." Seated at Minister Johnson's table are Suncor Energy Inc., Syncrude Canada Ltd., Stantec Inc., and Cenovus Energy. Syncrude, Stantec, and Suncor will be directly involved with reformations from kindergarten to third grade while Cenovus is included in grades four through six.
In addition to bringing their knowledge of economic growth to the discussion of shaping education in Alberta's communities, these companies also carry with them the impacts of tar sands oil extraction. Locally, tar sands have been connected to an incurable cancer that is afflicting a First Nations community in Fort Chipewyan — and they are known to emit three times the amount of greenhouse gases of conventionally produced oil.
Deron Bilous, of the New Democratic Party (NDP), was highly critical of the decision to include the oil industry and believes that "having Syncrude and Suncor as explicit partners in the redesign at least gives the impression that the table is not balanced." Bilous and his supporters can look to Ohio to find a recent campaign successfully ended a Radio Disney educational tour that was completely funded by the oil and natural gas industry.

If you choose to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the court-appointed trustee will sell assets that don't qualify for bankruptcy exemptions. Many Chapter 7 debtors don't have any nonexempt assets; thus, there is no property to actually sell. However, you must meet certain income qualifications before you can file under Chapter 7. If you do not qualify for Chapter 7, you can file under Chapter 13. Chapter 13 debtors create a repayment plan under which they repay a portion of their debts over three to five years; remaining eligible debts are wiped out if the debtor successfully completes his plan. It's possible to purchase a home during this repayment period, though you must get permission from your court-appointed bankruptcy trustee before getting a mortgage.
Credit Rating
Typically, bankruptcy cases negatively impact the debtor's credit rating since creditors view bankruptcy as an indication the debtor may not repay credit extended to him. If you file for bankruptcy, you may find it more difficult to obtain car loans, home loans or other types of credit. Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for seven years and Chapter 13 bankruptcy remains on your report for 10 years. You can improve your credit score by paying all your bills on time, reducing your debt and clearing up any errors on your credit report.
Lender's Considerations
Mortgage lenders may consider other factors in addition to your credit rating when deciding whether or not you qualify for a mortgage after bankruptcy. For example, lenders consider your debt-to-income ratio, which compares your income to the amount of monthly debt payments you have. Depending on the terms of your loan program, your lender could require you to provide more money in a down payment before giving you a loan.
Interest Rate
Borrowers with higher credit scores generally have loans with lower interest rates since the lender feels it is taking less risk when a borrower's credit score is high. While bankruptcy doesn't automatically impact the interest rates you are offered, a bankruptcy-related decrease in your credit score may increase the interest rates your lender will offer. Over the life of the loan, an increased interest rate can cost you a significant amount of money.

The material in this course is well presented, though scarce at times. However it has its share of problems :
-little to no interaction from TA's or mentors in the forums
-the quizzes are often out of sync with the lectures
-the final exam has severe problems with questions (form not content).
In more detail, on the final exam, some of the questions don't even contain all the content to answer them. They can request multiple answers but have single question boxes and/or the reverse.

Daniel 11:2-35 English Standard Version Anglicised (ESVUK)
2 "And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia, and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them. And when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. 3 Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do as he wills. 4 And as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided towards the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the authority with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.
5 "Then the king of the south shall be strong, but one of his princes shall be stronger than he and shall rule, and his authority shall be a great authority. 6 After some years they shall make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement. But she shall not retain the strength of her arm, and he and his arm shall not endure, but she shall be given up, and her attendants, he who fathered her, and he who supported[a] her in those times.
7 "And from a branch from her roots one shall arise in his place. He shall come against the army and enter the fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail. 8 He shall also carry off to Egypt their gods with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold, and for some years he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north. 9 Then the latter shall come into the realm of the king of the south but shall return to his own land.
10 "His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall keep coming and overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his fortress. 11 Then the king of the south, moved with rage, shall come out and fight against the king of the north. And he shall raise a great multitude, but it shall be given into his hand. 12 And when the multitude is taken away, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. 13 For the king of the north shall again raise a multitude, greater than the first. And after some years[b] he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.
14 "In those times many shall rise against the king of the south, and the violent among your own people shall lift themselves up in order to fulfil the vision, but they shall fail. 15 Then the king of the north shall come and throw up siege works and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, or even his best troops, for there shall be no strength to stand. 16 But he who comes against him shall do as he wills, and none shall stand before him. And he shall stand in the glorious land, with destruction in his hand. 17 He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and he shall bring terms of an agreement and perform them. He shall give him the daughter of women to destroy the kingdom,[c] but it shall not stand or be to his advantage. 18 Afterwards he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture many of them, but a commander shall put an end to his insolence. Indeed,[d] he shall turn his insolence back upon him. 19 Then he shall turn his face back towards the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
20 "Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute for the glory of the kingdom. But within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle. 21 In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given. He shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 22 Armies shall be utterly swept away before him and broken, even the prince of the covenant. 23 And from the time that an alliance is made with him he shall act deceitfully, and he shall become strong with a small people. 24 Without warning he shall come into the richest parts[e] of the province, and he shall do what neither his fathers nor his fathers' fathers have done, scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time. 25 And he shall stir up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him. 26 Even those who eat his food shall break him. His army shall be swept away, and many shall fall down slain. 27 And as for the two kings, their hearts shall be bent on doing evil. They shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for the end is yet to be at the time appointed. 28 And he shall return to his land with great wealth, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant. And he shall work his will and return to his own land.
29 "At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south, but it shall not be this time as it was before. 30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time.

1 John 3:7-24 English Standard Version Anglicised (ESVUK)
7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practises righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's[a] seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practise righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Love One Another
11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers,[b] that the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God,[c] and God[d] in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

Useless Beauty - An Aid for Ecclesiastes
If you're studying Ecclesiastes, and want to see how the text illustrates an interfaces with contemporary film, I'd recommend the book Useless Beauty. Several of these movies might find their way into this sermon series, but even if you don't have time to watch them, you'll find good synopsis in these chapters, as well as interplay between story and text.
Ecclesiastes, digested properly, leads to a most hopeful life - hopeful because it is rooted in a reality that refuses to lapse into either despondency or naive optimism. As I shared in the sermon, both options are the worst possible. The third way is a way that lives fully, every day, enjoying the gifts, and facing the losses - all the while holding on to the Source of life.
Carpe Diem...

November 21, 2014, Moscow. – Aeroflot was recognized by National Geographic Traveler Awards 2014 as the Best Airline in Russia.

Who would've thought your fleet could become an integral part of your marketing strategy?
Billboards are great but mobile billboards are better. Vehicle wraps are a memorable way to spread your business's message and make a great first impression.
Here are five reasons why vehicle wraps will work for your business:
1. They are extremely cost effective
Vehicle wraps represent a small investment that packs a punch as far as the benefits you can get from it. According to the 3M Vehicle Wrap Study, vehicle wraps offer the lowest cost-per-impression of any form of advertising. A wrap costs about .48 cents per thousand impressions, while other forms of advertising can cost significantly more. For instance, it's estimated that outdoor signs cost $3.56 per thousand impressions and newspaper ads cost $19.70 for that same number of impressions. One wrapped vehicle will generate between 30,000 and 80,000 impressions per day. The more you drive your wrapped vehicle around the city, the more exposure you will get!
2. You will stand out from your competitors
If you want to stand out from your competition, a vehicle wrap is a wise investment. A well-branded wrap will generate (a lot of) brand awareness among your target market. Many businesses gain more customers from their vehicle wraps than their websites and they are also a great way to promote your brand at local events.
3. Wraps increase your visibility
Increase your inbound marketing sales by showing your message to new potential clients every time your vehicle is seen. Vehicle wraps work for you 24/7, 365 days per year, for up to five years, making the actual amortized investment manageable for most small businesses. Drivers and pedestrians alike will notice your message, even when the vehicle is parked!
4. It's a great visual upgrade
On older vehicles, the graphics will cover-up unsightly rust or damage and refresh your vehicle to look like new. Vinyl vehicle wraps also help protect your vehicle's body from scratches and small dents from road debris, helping to keep your vehicles in better condition for when you need to trade them in or sell them.
5. Nothing grabs attention like a wrap
Brightly colored, attractive vehicle wraps will make your company vehicles stand out from the crowd! Passing drivers won't pay much attention to a plain white van on the road, but they will notice a well-designed vehicle wrap. Wraps are so engaging that peoples' eyes naturally gravitate towards them – even if it's for just a moment – but that's all that's needed to engage with prospective customers.
Make a smart investment in your advertising and expand your reach with vehicle wraps. If you want to highlight your brand and stand out from the competition, Process Color Print is here to help you achieve exactly that. We're your one-stop-shop for all your large format print needs: we design, create, install them and more. Let us help you take your business to the next level.
Plus, larger fleet and point of purchase clients may qualify for an annual rebate program.

The #8 Georgia Military Bulldog football team will be taking the field in their season kickoff against #7 NJCAA Navarro College tonight at Davenport Field in Milledgeville. Today's game is a continuation of the long continuation of the rivalry between the two teams who both happen to sport the same mascot, the bulldog.
GMC and Navarro first took the field against each other in 2001 – the Saturday after the tragedy of 9/11. It was a memorable day for both teams and the win for GMC helped start a tremendous year that ended in the 2001 National Championship! Both teams come into the first game of the season highly ranked in the NJCAA Pre-Season Poll with GMC at #8 and Navarro at #7.
The GMC faithful can expect an exciting game as both teams are fast, physical and loaded with talent with the GMC Bulldogs looking to rebound from last years close loss them Navarro on the road, 23-27. You can catch all the action here.

Happy Valentine's Day to my lovely readers. I will be celebrating the evening with my husband, a nice steak dinner and a very classy pint of cider ;)
And for you amazing lot, a sweet short story for Valentine's.
"Here," Tom said, passing one of the Swiss balls. "Squats next."
His client gave a weary sigh as he spun the large exercise ball over in his hands. "I hate squats," Luke Adams complained.
"How does your leg feel?" Tom stepped back and examined how Luke was standing.
Luke shrugged. "It's okay." He rested his chin against the ball, his dark hair pasted to his damp brow. "The rest of me though. I can't believe how out of shape I feel after just a few months."
"A broken leg, sitting around, and no exercise will do that to you," Tom said with a nod. Luke had booked the hour to work out a program to ease him back into regular exercise and Tom was on hand to help. He picked up the other Swiss ball and tilted his head as he checked out all six-four of Luke. "All those firm bits start getting squishy."
Luke arched one of his neat eyebrows. "Are you checking out my squishy bits?"
"No," Tom protested and folded his arms. He tensed his arms but totally wasn't flexing his muscles right now. Tom ducked his head, grinning when he noticed Luke had settled his gaze on his chest. He glanced around the Valen-Tone studio. It was six in the evening and the usual post-work patrons had filled up the treadmills, bikes, and weights. He looked back at Luke who wore a goofy grin.
Pursing his mouth, Luke looked beyond Tom and to the other side of the gym. "Is the boss watching? Is that it?"
This is my job. This is me being professional. Tom looked over his shoulder and at his boss. The man met his eyes, smiled, then waved him over. Tom raised a finger, indicating he just needed a minute. Turning around, he straightened when without warning Luke dropped the ball.
"Woops. Silly me," Luke teased as he bent over, pointing his ass in Tom's direction as he retrieved the ball.
Clearing his throat, Tom looked away in an effort to keep his rising erection in check. He'd seen plenty of guys in short shorts and tight Speedos, sweaty, muscular men with arms bigger than his head.
"So, squats?" Luke sounded disappointed by Tom's lack of interest.
Tom turned back and was met with an encouraging smile. "Erm, yeah. Two reps of fifteen to start." He ran his hand back through his shaggy blond hair and watched Luke position the exercise ball between him and the mirrored wall. He waited, allowing Luke to complete a couple of squats before interrupting.

Remember that time here where I mentioned I would [quote myself] 'dedicate some kind of blog post to my fluorescent-peach fingernails' – well, tonight just so happens to be, that chosen night! Amid taking photos pre-Melbourne City adventures in my beautiful Bijou the Label kimono over the weekend, I may have convinced my favourite (and may I remind you – ONLY) adult- brother to snap a few photographs of said fluorescent-peach fingernails.
And what is an impromptu fluorescent-peach fingernails photo-shoot without a side of meatballs you may ask? The answer to that question is nothing… And so it was only necessary that I included a few photos from this weekend's dining experience at the Meatball and Wine Bar* in Flinders Lane.
ENJOY & Happy Monday!
Much love, ciao x
PS. I have always had a burning desire to break into the hand-modelling industry… thoughts?!
* Yes, this restaurant is as literal as the name makes it sound – who doesn't love multiple meatballs in one sitting?

Headed out to California for a work conference, at which things didn't quite go as planned - due to circumstances beyond my control, I only got to about half of the talks I wanted to get to. However, it is always nice to be in 70deg. weather in Feburary!
We've now released our Beta 2 of Lightroom! Pretty awesome! Its really coming along.
It was also Trivia last weekend. The first of 2 50+ hour contests we particpate in, we came in 15th.(A very respectable showing) This contest is held out of St. Cloud, MN, starts on Friday at 5 and ends Sunday at 7. We are now focusing on the Big Contest - Stevens Point trivia in April.
Now, Knitting.
I had, until just over a week ago, decided to pass on the Knitting Olympics. I have enough stress in my life (I told myself) - why add more by trying to finish a project in 16 days. And, the first 3 days were Trivia, with very little knitting time. And, I want to finish my Jaywalkers soon.
Then I got caught up in the excitement. And, enchanted by the red dragon of the Welsh team. So, I decided to join in.
My personal challege was to knit Tubey from Knitty. Not that its a hard sweater - but its something I wanted, and had the yarn for, and was going to be tricky to finish. But, the real challenge was to keep my scatterable attention focused on one project. Really - that's tricky. I've already needed to put off designing a Kitty blanket to match the Fish blankets. (AAHHHH! even mentioning it is making my fingers itch to work out how to do the whiskers!)
I really tried to finish my Jaywalkers first - I've up to midfoot on my second sock. However, I needed sleep on my flight on Friday. (6:30 am flight). I'm allowing myself to switch off socks and sweater so I can finish my socks!
But. The sweater is going well. I'm 15 inches (of 21.5) in on the back piece. I'm looking forward to switching over to circulars for the sleeves. I'm making it in a nice charcoal colored Rowan Cashsoft Aran, and loving it. However, I need to swap out needles sometime - the joins on the Clover needles I'm using are...rough. I have a pair of Susan Bates needles, but they are visibly smaller. I'm hoping that I can get to the yarn store to pick up some of those needles-I-love-and-can't-remember-the-name-of.
I will do that tomorrow, as I'm taking the day off 'cause its my BIRTHDAY! 35 years old tomorrow. Where does the time go?
Pictures soon. I have to get them off my camera....

In Ricky's first 30 day challenge, he wanted his find his fit-self again and bumped his nutrition to the next level. As a result he managed to lose 7.5kgs body weight and lose 6% body fat.
I have played sport my whole life such as soccer and kickboxing. I always had the drive to get into shape, but motivation would always be hard to come by. I saw my partner achieve incredible results on her 30 Day Challenge, so I thought what the heck, let's give this a shot. I lost a total of 7.5kgs, lost 6% of total body fat and my metabolic age dropped by 8 years. By fixing up my nutrition, I have noticed a massive increase in energy, throughout my sporting activity. I love being my old self again, if not BETTER, and thank the team down at Activate. - Ricky Mauna

The BROADS WAY: ITS JUST MICHELLE AND GRACE A COUPLE OF TIRED CHICKS SITTING AROUND TALKING..
We did it with just the two of us. Michelle is a trooper. She got up 530 AM to do this podcast. I had been up for hours and bad sleep. We are not the sharpest Broads but we talk a lot of different subjects.
We talked Health care, A movie coming on Netflix called To THe Bone, The Hunger author Roxane Gay and her really compelling life and story. WE also talked about not having scales in our house. Michelles Hubby bought one a she could not resist going on. Our Michelle started saying she's big, shes not and the number on the scale horrofied her. NO MORE SCALE. Michelle looks great. We talked a bit on Body dismorphia and so much more. Listen to the tired broads, Michelle sounds sultry...I sound like me. UGHHHH. The Rain In Spain Stays mainly in the Plain.. I need Enry Iggins.
WE will be doing another one this weekend. Thanks to all you people that listen. This summer is weird for both of us but we will be back on our schedule once the kiddos are back to school.

I'll start with the question everyone asks.. I naturally shrunk uterine fibroids out of my womb, and have successfully been able to keep them out of my life. Was it easy? No. When I was struggling with fibroid tumors, I was dedicated to finding alternatives to surgery, and was willing to try just about anything. There was a desperation that drove me to concoct my own protocol and it ended up working when I least suspected that two years of struggle with uterine fibroids was coming to a sudden, miraculous end.
This blog is my resource to share my insight and knowledge alongside the book, which will be released in the coming months that outlines exactly what I did to succeed in natural fibroid elimination. For the women who are open-minded, and believe that natural healing is possible, this blog is for you.

More Info... by email
In endoscopy training, medical providers learn how to determine when an endoscopy is necessary, how to perform the procedure safely, and how to interpret results. The training can take the form of a fellowship or workshop for gastroenterologists and other care providers who may have cause to order an endoscopy, like oncologists who treat patients with esophageal, stomach, or colon cancer. The training program will have a precise syllabus instructors follow, and students receive information about what to expect at the start.
People must be qualified physicians for endoscopy training. The coursework usually includes a classroom element where doctors learn about the history and practice of endoscopy. In class, the instructor provides information about how endoscopy works, when to use this procedure, and how to communicate with patients prior to endoscopies. Students may have tests to confirm that they understand the topics covered in class.
An endoscopy training may provide access to a computer simulation. This allows people to get used to endoscopies without putting patients at risk. Other programs start doctors with observing procedures, gradually giving them an opportunity to participate, and eventually allowing them to perform procedures themselves. The goal of the training is to make sure that all participants can safely and accurately complete an endoscopy procedure.
Training also includes coursework that familiarizes students with the different kinds of conditions they may encounter and how they will present. Students learn to interpret findings like patches of discoloration, polyps, and other abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract. They will also learn how to take samples for biopsy and prepare them for examination by a pathologist. Teaching hospitals rely on files from existing patients to provide doctors with a wide array of examples of endoscopies, so they can learn about normal anatomical variations and get a chance to see unusual conditions that they might not ordinarily encounter in practice.
Endoscopy training provides students with the tools to determine when to order this medical test and how to talk with patients about the endoscopy. Doctors need to be able to reassure patients who may have fears about the test. They also learn basic protocols for patient safety and comfort. In endoscopy training, doctors will receive instruction in using sedation and pain management and working with an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist to keep patients comfortable throughout the procedure. They will also learn about how to maintain clean conditions, working with other members of the endoscopy team to protect patients from infection.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

The International Cocoa Awards
Every 2 years, this unique programme spearheaded by Bioversity International and Event International recognizes quality cocoas according to their origin, with the participation of some 50 producing countries, which can directly present the fruit of their work to chocolate makers and the press.
160 cocoa samples received – 50 cocoas selected and 50 chocolates made through the same process in order to judge the bean quality only!
As the only event in the world celebrating the work of planters and the richness of expression of cocoa, this initiative helps further mutual awareness and reinforce collaborations between producers and chocolate makers. This programme aims to reward farmers producing high-quality cocoa; facilitate linkages between producers of quality cocoa and manufacturers of specialty chocolate products; expose chocolate manufacturers and experienced consumers to the spectrum of flavors that exist in cocoa from different origins; and stimulate the capacity of producing countries to search for, evaluate and produce specialty cocoa.
The International Cocoa Awards ceremony will be held on Monday 30th October at 7:30 pm (by invitation only) in the presence of representatives and farmers from 50 countries.
Find the 50 selected cocoas at the ICA booth (ground floor)

I have fond memories from first grade of crafting a valentine mailbox out of a shoe box, cutting a hole in it and covering it with fancy paper and waiting eagerly to get home to open up all my valentines from friends. (how is that for a run-on sentence?) But with my own kids, it has killed me to just buy the cheap little box of character valentines to pass out to friends. This year we got crafty and thankfully my children obliged me 🙂
For the boy, we made these little airplanes out of smarties, lifesavers and gum. The tails are courtesy of The Giver's Log and he has been hard at work writing classmates names on the back of them. Come Thursday we will be hurridy taping tails on the planes.
For the girl, I used Comic Life (if you have a mac you know this is the funnest program, if you don't have a mac you need to leave the dark side and move over!) and created a funny picture of her. We taped the picture on little papers and she glued these foam hearts on the tops. For a three year old, this was the perfect craft and she had a blast (only got a little carried away with the glue!)
What do your visions of valentines look like?
