" I went to Legend Nissan because my husband had a pleasant experience a few years earlier. The sales person that he had previously worked with was no longer there, and so we had the pleasure of working with Alam. Every interaction with Alam was professional, informative, genuine, and most importantly, friendly. He is very knowledgeable and works hard to meet the needs of his customer. If you're planning on visiting Legend Nissan, ask for Alam. You won't be disappointed with his service. "
" I recently experienced a total loss and was in the market for a new used vehicle. Found out about this place from my best friend. I saw the car I wanted but couldn't get it just yet due to the total loss not being finalized yet and the old car not being paid off. I went in to place a deposit on the vehicle to buy myself some time. Jason/Javid and Richard worked with me and found a way for me to get the financing for this vehicle and even handled the rental vehicle return for me. "

Legend Nissan
" My daughter's 2017 Nissan Rogue lease was coming due in February 2020. We stopped in Legend Nissan to "take a look". We were greeted at the door and Alam was happy to assist us. He was pleasant, professional and 30 minutes later my daughter leased a 2020 Rogue. Great Experience! She said she would only go back to Legend Nissan. I also plan on going back when I need a car. Thanks. Joe Lesar "
" best salesman & service "
"No Push Sales"
" This review is mainly on Carlton McCray only. My aging car was taking a dump after more than a decade of ownership and I decided it was time for a new vehicle. I was browsing around different dealerships and vehicles. I eventually stumbled upon a Certified Pre-Owned Nissan Rogue with very low mileage and decided to go check it out. I was introduced to Carlton McCray at Legend Nissan. I am pleased that he was my salesperson. Carlton was very professional from the onset. I didn't feel pressured at all from beginning to end. We took out the Rogue I was interested in for a test drive. We had a pleasant conversation but most importantly the car ran like a dream. We sat down and began the steps to purchase the vehicle. During the whole process Carlton was not pushy nor was he trying to push a sale. We eventually came up with the numbers I liked and the initial sales process was done. Now, I did run into some issues after this initial process but that's a whole another review which I've posted on Google. The issue was eventually remedied. If your looking for a chill, no hassle salesperson to deal with, head on over to Legend Nissan and ask for Carlton McCray. He will treat you with the professionalism, respect and the courtesy you deserve. Now, if you run into any problems after the initial part of the sales, hint, financing, please reach out to the General Manager Adam Margolies. He will listen to your issue at hand and will try to resolve the issue. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase and my experience with Carlton. I hope to do more business with Carlton in the future. "

She covered all the financial options with us and even followed up with us after we drove away in our new car to make sure we were satisfied. We would not hesitate to purchase/lease another car from Legend in the future. "

Excellent customer service
" My wife and I just recently leased a 2020 Pathfinder from Legend Nissan, and we could not be any happier with the attention, care and support we received from sales rep Alam MdAshraful. Alam helped us understand clearly every detail of the leasing process and the options available to us in selecting a car that worked for our family. Honestly, he made the decision to go with a new Pathfinder from Legend Nissan an easy one. We could not be more satisfied with his service. Sincerely, Jose Calderon West Hempstead "
" Went in for service, Ken was very helpful and made sure I got the best of everything. "
" We used to own a Nissan, but due to a terrible experience at one of the dealers, we vowed never to own one again. However, we needed an inexpensive used car of good quality and found a great online deal on a certified Sentra. We are SO happy we gave Nissan another try via Legend Nissan. The people there were super courteous and our sales rep, Joel, was the absolute best! We really enjoyed the process of buying the car, and when the deal we wanted didn't quite pan out, Joel followed it with a better option... We are VERY happy customers!! "
" Great car dealer. Great Deal....worth to go there and find your car!!! Christy was amazing!!! "
" Ken made the service pleasant. "
" In take was pleasant & professional as always. I cannot think of any other place to get my Nissan serviced as I have not only been servicing here for at least 25 years, but also leasing my car here as well "
" Excellent experience. We purchased a leftover 2019 Rogue at a very good price. Our salesman took plenty of time to make sure we were happy. "

dealing with (bare branches)
so many of the trees are bare now.
the sunset (which comes so very early every day now) is over an almost bare, brown mountain.
and that's the hardest part of winter for me - coming from California, where winter is our greenest time of year, I'm used to the brown season being warm (which makes up for the lack of color in the hills). here, we get cold and gray and brown, all at once and there's no making up for any of it, except in how we cope with it all.
and there's the key to the entire puzzle. how I cope.
I can't stop winter. (I wouldn't want to try, except to remove myself from it, geographically, as we will next year, if sabbatical happens.)
I can only choose how I deal with winter.
(and so I will. with hygge and swants and forest bathing and nightly baths.)

The market is buzzing about the creation of ReadyTalk's video clip playback functionality.

We've noticed the following users produce more effective and engaging presentations when applying video clip playback:

Marketers and webinar organizers will find video clip playback to be a very useful tool for presenters to help keep their audience engaged.

Why film photography?
Since I first stepped into my high school darkroom in 2009 I've loved film photography. I now have over 20 cameras, ranging from 35mm to 120, plastic and light to metal and heavy. I recently started to develop black and white film at home again and find it to be incredibly rewarding. The physicality of film is what has kept me shooting it for so long, you can't hold a digital file in your hands! I've always tried to shoot what I feel and not get caught up in the technical chatter.
I'm Jennifer Schussler, living in London, UK, but originally from Perth, Western Australia. I have a BA in Art History and am currently studying part-time to get my Masters in the History of Art. I work at the Royal Academy of Arts and love being surrounded by creative people who love art. I take photos on the weekends mostly but also sometimes during lunch breaks and after work.

Winston Churchill obituary
Extracts from this document...
Winston Churchill Obituary Winston Churchill was born in Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England to Lord Randolph Churchill and Lady Jennie Churchill, who was an American. Winston wrote about his mother in his book "My Early Life". He said she "always seemed like a fairy princess... She shone for me like the Evening Star. I loved her dearly - but at a distance" She was always too busy with her social life to be bothered with her child. At age eight his parents enrolled him in St. George's, a boarding school at Ascot. He wrote to them that he was happy there, but actually he hated it and did not do well at all. His teachers thought he was "a very naughty boy", and he was frequently punished. He ranked last in his class and was considered lazy. His headmaster said of him, "He is a constant trouble to everybody and is always in some scrape or other. ...read more.
He later learned Lord Randolph thought his son was not intelligent enough to become a lawyer, and the Army was just an alternative. When Winston was fifteen his mother promised him a gun and a pony if he would quit smoking. He quit for a short time. We know when he was an adult he developed a taste for Cuban cigars after a visit to Cuba. The cigar, along with the "V for Victory" hand sign, became his trademark. The year he turned twenty-one was a difficult year for Winston. His father, Lord Randolph died, and that summer his beloved governess, Mrs. Everest, also passed away. He had spent his whole life trying unsuccessfully to please his father. His faithful governess had always given her unconditional love and support. He joined the Army and during his enlistment he spent time in Cuba, India, and in Egypt. He read a lot, educated himself, and then began writing. ...read more.
When he was sixty-six years old he became prime minister of Great Britain. He said, " I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial". He declared, " Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say, 'This was their finest hour'". In 1953 Queen Elizabeth knighted him and he became "Sir Winston Churchill", a member of the highest order of British knighthood. That same year he also won the Nobel peace prize for literature. During World War II he had many meetings with Franklin Delano Roosevelt as they mapped out a strategy to win the war against the Axis Powers. Joseph Stalin joined them at Yalta, and they became known as "The Big Three". In 1963 The United States Congress voted to make Winston Churchill an honorary citizen of the United States. He died two years later at the age of ninety after suffering a stroke. ...read more.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah was greeted by some of that famous British hospitality when he arrived in the UK Monday; he was jeered by crowds along the processional route, and many of those - including the leader and members of the Liberal-Democrats - invited to a banquet in his honour on Tuesday boycotted in protest. Given the appalling display of bad manners (and not just in this instance) it's no wonder Muslim countries are reticent when it comes to working with the West.
Admittedly, the chilly reception isn't surprising, considering the role his country is reputed to play in the training and finance of terrorism (and al-Qaeda in particular); additionally, Saudi Arabia has an appalling record on issues like human rights. Still, it's highly unlikely that any of that will be remedied by rudeness, either.
Fortunately, the 82 year-old sovereign has greeted far worse dictators far more graciously during her tenure in Buckingham Palace; Her Majesty's legendary aplomb was out in full force, as it was when she greeted the Nicolae Ceauşescu and his wife in June 1978.
"The relationship between our two kingdoms is one of mutual benefit, learning and understanding. So, King Abdullah, custodian of the two holy mosques, I warmly welcome you to this country," she said in a speech at the banquet.
While in London, King Abdullah will also be meeting with the Prince of Wales regarding The Prince's Trust and with Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

"It's Still Rock and Roll To Me" by Billy Joel
The crowd at GM Place Tuesday night spanned three generations - I saw kids under ten and a few my parent's age - and they filled nearly every seat; in the course of ninety minutes they went from sedate to screaming as Billy Joel and his band unrolled a string of hits spanning more than 20 years, from 1971's Cold Spring Harbour to 1993's River of Dreams.
Coming off a six-month break in the midst of a two-year world tour, there were few glitches (a couple of missed lighting cues) but otherwise much strong musicianship in the tight set. It being near Hallowe'en, Joel treated us to a few bars of Alfred Hitchcock's theme - Charles Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette - and the first two verses of Monster Mash!
There was another a surprise number as well; in the midst of the concert Joel donned a guitar and announced that one of his long-time roadies was going to come out and perform a "sacred song". The apathy generated by that announcement was such that I think I even heard a few people boo. Then out walked a frankly scary looking gentleman - seriously, like an extra on The Sopranos - who proceeded to tear the roof down with a rousing rendition of AC/DC's Highway to Hell, to tumultuous applause and sustained audience participation.
A three-song encore closed the night; after the second - and my personal favourite, Only The Good Die Young - Joel made to leave the stage without playing the one we'd waited all evening to hear. As he stepped away from the piano the booing started; stepping toward to piano the cheering started, and on it went for about thirty seconds - back, boo, forth, cheer - until at last he sat down, donned his harmonica strap, and played that familiar opening refrain...
Singing along with a crowd of more than 20,000 to Piano Man I was struck by just why it is musicians put up with years of touring, lousy gigs, and disrupted family life; simply put, it's the adulation stupid. To sit onstage like that and hear a crowd that size singing your song back at you must be the greatest feeling there is for an artist.
Much thanks to my friend Leanne Padgett for the company, Orca Bay Entertainment for the venue, and Billy Joel for a lifetime of entertainment.

5.6 Quake Rocks San Francisco
An earthquake rumbled through the San Francisco Bay area - including San Jose and Oakland - Tuesday evening at 8:04 PM local time; tremors could be felt as far away as Palo Alto.
The United States Geological Survey confirmed that the quake was located 5 miles northeast of San Francisco's Alum Bay neighbourhood, in the vicinity of South Bay, approximately 5.7 miles deep.
Although rated at 5.6 on the Richter Scale, it was enough to give people a fright; only minor damage is being reported, though, and so far there are no reported injuries or deaths.

The Korean War began in June 1950 and continued through July 1953. The Marines, known as "America's 911 Force," are often the first on a scene. According to the Marines website, their role in the Korean War started with a surprise attack at Inchon Landing, when Gen. Douglas MacArthur used Marine amphibious forces to reclaim South Korea's occupied capital, Seoul. If you do not know where your veteran served during this conflict, you can find military service information in several places.
Step 1
Compile all of the information possible about your grandfather, or other relative, and his service in the Marines. Essential information includes the complete name used while in service, date and place of birth, service number, Social Security number, branch of service and dates of service. Talk to your parents or others who might know about the veteran's service.
Step 2
Visit the National Archives website (see Resources) and complete a Service Record Request for an official record. The National Archives holds service records for veterans serving from World War I to the present. A copy of the records will be sent to you for free. You can complete the online form or the paper version, known as Standard Form 180 (SF-180). If you are not the veteran or next-of-kin, you must use the SF-180. The Report of Separation (DD Form 214) and other key documents are the most common records obtained through the request. Submit a follow-up request for additional documents if you want every document in a veteran's file.
Step 3
Visit the Marines website (see Resources) for unit histories. If you do not know the Marine unit your veteran served in, or just want to know the locations where his unit served, the Marines directory lists each unit and its headquarters as well as service type. Click on the unit name to view that unit's history, service locations and awards.
Step 4
Visit the National Archives for lists of casualties if your veteran was wounded or died in the Korean War. The Archives also hosts several databases and projects regarding this conflict.

The British automaker, Lotus returns with something new, aiming to unleash one of their fastest rides ever produced. Recently Lotus provided a look at the 'supercar killer', The Lotus Exige Sport 380. The machine is the fastest Exige ever built capable of a 0-60 mph time of just 3.5 seconds. The futuristic design is pushed by a 3.5-liter supercharged V6 that offers 375 horsepower and 302 lb-ft of torque.
According to Lotus the new Exige offers a "pure" driving experience and does so with the help of its six-speed "open gate" manual transmission. The car weighs in at just 2,425 pounds doing so thanks to unique elements such as a polycarbonate rear glass, lithium-ion battery, and carbon fiber elements. There is also an optional carbon fiber package with a one-piece carbon roof panel and a louvered trunk lid. While there is no word on whether the car will hit the roads here in the states, we can dream. Have a look at the 'supercar killer' in the gallery below and keep it locked for more outstanding examples of speed coming shortly.

The Road to Serfdom: Text and Documents: The Definitive Edition
Routledge, 2014年8月13日 - 283 頁
A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual history and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians and scholars for half a century. Originally published in 1944, it was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
This new edition includes a foreword by series editor and leading Hayek scholar Bruce Caldwell explaining the book's origins and publishing history and assessing common misinterpretations of Hayek's thought. Caldwell has also standardized and corrected Hayek's references and added helpful new explanatory notes. Supplemented with an appendix of related materials and forewords to earlier editions by the likes of Milton Friedman, and Hayek himself, this new edition of The Road to Serfdom will be the definitive version of Friedrich Hayek's enduring masterwork.

The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) is a two-hour, multiple choice, aptitude test that helps applicants demonstrate their potential for tertiary study.
The test is widely accepted and used by many Australian institutions and a STAT result may improve your chances of selection for your course.
All states and territories regularly hold STAT tests and you can register to sit the next test in your state or territory through your relevant Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC, UAC or QTAC).
The TACs also have more information on the STAT test including associated fees and how to prepare.
You may find that STAT improves your case for tertiary entry. Low STAT results are ignored, so sitting the STAT can only be an advantage to your application.
You should consider sitting a STAT if you have no formal educational qualifications and you are applying for entry on the basis of work or life skills alone.
You may also consider sitting the STAT if you have completed the following:
Please note, that the STAT will not combine with your other qualifications for a selection rank. The STAT will be reviewed separately with its own selection rank the same as with all your other qualifications.
A number of tertiary institutions, TAFE and registered training organisations (RTOs) have CBT, where students receive results of 'competent' and not yet 'competent'. If you are undertaking a certificate, diploma, advanced diploma or degree course in which the assessment is competency-based, you may wish to sit the STAT to potentially improve your competitiveness by having a new selection rank generated from your STAT score.
The Certificate IV in Adult Tertiary Preparation (ATP) is a preparatory course conducted by TAFE Queensland and some private providers. A STAT result cannot be combined with the results from this certificate to improve your selection rank. You may wish to sit the STAT if you wish to improve your competitiveness by having a new selection rank generated from your STAT score.
The STAT may also be used to satisfy the English subject prerequisites. It cannot be used to satisfy any other subject prerequisite.
STAT is valid for 3 years prior to the year of commencement of study.
STAT accepted on its own: Yes, if 21 years and over, but not for current Year 12s.
STAT to satisfy English Language Proficiency: Not accepted.
STAT to satisfy English subject prerequisite: Yes, if 21 years and over.
STAT to satisfy Science or Maths subject prerequisite: Not accepted.

BROOKFIELD, Conn. — Everything is bigger and better — literally — at Unlimited Signs Designs & Graphics, a 6-year-old business on Grays Bridge Road in Brookfield that recently doubled in size to 4,600 square feet.
The business took over the space of its former neighbor, Lincore medical supplies, which relocated to Bethel. Aside from the added space, Unlimited Signs also enlarged its garage from 10 feet wide to 12 feet wide.
"We can now do larger jobs and accommodate larger vehicles," said Michael Goldstein of New Fairfield, who owns the business with his wife, Marian.
"We also got a new bucket truck and service van, which enables us to install bigger and higher signs — up to 30 feet high," he said.
Within just a few years, the business has many established clients — including Costco, Scalzo and PepsiCo.
One project helped to put the business on the map: the rebranding of seven Danbury area Sleepy's stores after the brand changed its name to Mattress Firm, Goldstein said.
"Being associated with a national brand helped a small business like us become more familiar to people in the local area," he said.
Another top client is the University of Connecticut. "We created promotional cutouts for them, which they use this during their recruitment of new students, football and hockey players," Goldstein said. The business also designed signs for the new Sandy Hook School in Newtown.
They are now joining forces with Double Image, a printer at 640 Federal Road in Brookfield.
"We are cross-selling each of our products," Goldstein said. "We will both be able to offer everything from business cards and stationery up to big wall wraps and wallpaper -- from both locations."
Before opening the business, Goldstein spent 35 years in sales, and eight years in the mortgage business.
"After the mortgage market crashed in 2008, no one was hiring," he said.
In mid-life, he decided to become an entrepreneur and said he choose to open a sign business for three reasons.
"First, I wanted a business that was needed. Every business, at some point, needs a sign," he said.
He was also interested in a business that didn't require a large number of employees.
Finally, he didn't want to open a business that required the owner to work extremely long hours to make it successful.
To network, he joined the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce. Through connections there, "We had four customers before we even opened our doors," Goldstein said.
What's trending? Cutouts are a big hit right now. "This is a false facade with a hole in it that people can put their faces in. It is used for fundraisers and special events," Goldstein said.
"People tend to get happy when they stand behind a picture."
Goldstein said he looks forward to continued growth in his larger space. "I like helping out customers with their needs. Their reputation is our business."

It was my first time eating GF at Disney. Chef Boone came out and spoke to me personally, letting me know what was safe and what wasn't. I got my own GF rolls, and a plate of rice, vegetables, and delicious chicken wings. The salad and all the meats were safe. I also got my own dessert of chocolate chip cake and ice cream with fresh berries. Chef Boone and the staff were great, and my meal was excellent! I highly recommend 'Ohana for GF dinner!

Science often has the most mind-blowing answers to explain why the world works the way it does. There are some phenomena, however, that cannot be explained by science and continue to baffle many people. It is almost as though the more researchers dig into these phenomena, the deeper the mysteries get. When confronted with a bizarre phenomenon in life, many people are eager to find an answer for it and often turn to science for an explanation. But science is not perfect, and it does not have an explanation for everything. Here are some interesting mysteries that science just cannot explain:
Why Is Sleep Necessary?
Many people have wondered at some point why humans need to sleep. In thinking about the busy lifestyles many people lead, it seems like it would be a given that people need rest so they can recharge for the next day. Of course, it is a fact that people must sleep to feel good and stay healthy. Scientists, however, are not sure why this is the case. The body regulates sleep in the same way it controls breathing, drinking, and eating. The mystery is why the human body is programmed to rest for such a long period of time. Humans and animals all engage in some type of sleep, and one of the most reasonable explanations today is that sleep is important for brain maintenance.

text: I see them stare back at me, mine in shape and definition. An odd realization, the shock of this arbitrary line passed from the dead. Three generations it spans. Each eyebrow the same in arch and style, color too. What happened to the genetic lottery draw? Do living cells dividing have a say? Were these wriggling hairs destined to be? Reminders of those gone before, the ghosts of yesterday can still be found above our eyes. No other shape can break this mold. I am thankful they are not too thick, too thin or unibrow and thankful for Family resemblances.

As an environmentally aware business, Vodafone Egypt has set out to address global environmental issues that face our fragile eco-system.
Vodafone Egypt started using solar energy to power remote and off grid sites in 2001, to help us improve our environmental performance and decrease our overall carbon emissions. In this regard we :
1- Installed 200 solar-powered sites located across Sinai, the North Coast, the Red Sea Coast, Marsa Alam, Edfu, and the Western Desert Oasis, up from 167 in 2011.
2- Eliminated the need for diesel generator sets in these sites, hence saving over 50,000 tons of carbon emissions and the surrounding terrain from fuel leakage.
3-Improved the lives of many people in isolated locations through uninterrupted operation on roads and remote areas, saving travel costs, improving safety on desert roads and keeping people connected.
This initiative is dedicated to execute and educate everyone on taking eco-friendly decisions every day...
Mobile communications has transformed the way we work and the way people communicate and brought many benefits to society...
To take our environmental footprints step further we have designed diverse initiatives to reach out to our community...

Pretty much every superhero in comic books has a superpower that isn't really mentioned. Sure, some billionaire genius could, theoretically, learn how to build powerful metal suit and fight crime similar to Iron Man. However, that person still won't have all the superpowers of Tony Stark. You see, Tony Stark is a ridiculously attractive man. Wonder Woman, in addition to being a badass warrior that could pretty much dominate any foe, is also incredibly beautiful. Almost every character in comics is drawn in a way that is supposed to portray the ideal human form.

With a deep interest in process and structure, Augustine Kofie (b. 1973) creates works of intense detail centering order and tension in both his studio pieces and mural interventions. The precision of Kofie's "drafted" art is inspired by mechanical drafting and the language of modern architecture and uses the paper detritus of the 20th century as building blocks. In his quest for balance, Kofie harmonizes opposing and contradictory dynamics, setting futuristic compositions against vintage earth-toned palettes and creating technically complex, meticulously structured formations through handmade line-work and layering. Active in the west Los Angeles graffiti scene since the mid-nineties, the artist's work reflects the influence of the craft of deconstructing lettering, street culture, contemporary music, and 1960s-70s iconography to create a unique language.
Recent exhibitions include: Darkest Before the Dawn, Stolenspace Gallery, London; Build From Memory, Openspace Gallery, Paris; INVENTORY, Jonathan LeVine Gallery, New York & SCRATCH, Getty Research Institute, ESMuseum of Art, Los Angeles.
Kofie has been featured in Juxtapoz, Graffiti Art Magazine, The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti, Le Petit Voyeur and VNA Magazine 26. His work is in both national and international private collections.
Vintage Futurism by Rafael Schacter
Growing up in both East Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles, the colour and form of his work were innately impacted by the West Coast urbanity he was surrounded by.
Future and past collide and shatter. The hitherto and hereafter fragmenting, fracturing, before slowly cascading down and consolidating within our present.
You can almost smell the past in them. The scent of stacked papers, filed away for years. The smell of estate sales and vintage ephemera. And yet in the very same moment, you can also see something, perceive something of the future. Something unknown. Something yet to come. Or is this perhaps the future as seen from days gone by? Is it the present-day as looked at from the past?
This practice of "Vintage Futurism", as he has termed it, is central to Augustine Kofie's work. With its soft earth-tones and heritage palette, its collagist application of the fugitive, fleeting material culture of a bygone era, Kofie's work brings the recent American past firmly into the current day. Yet with his concurrent obsession for drafts and architectural renderings, for the geometrical building blocks of the everyday, this dreamy West Coast style coalesces into this unique, retro-futuristic aesthetic. An aesthetic that transforms the mathematical into the organic. A soulful abstraction in which the healer and hustler are combined.
Kofie was born to work like this. Growing up in both East Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles, the colour and form of his work were innately impacted by the West Coast urbanity he was surrounded by. The duality of the art deco architecture - the neighbourhoods separated by freeways and huge linear cement structures - and the city's hazy, washed-out tones. The sun-faded bleaching. The overcast skies, the pollutive smog. Yet this dualist nature emerges not only through Kofie's geographic origins, but so too from his familial history. From the influence of his structured, business-wise father and his creative, artistic mother. From his Choctaw and Creole paternal roots and his Scottish and Irish maternal ones. The collision of the opposites. The fusion of variance.
The ability Kofie has to bring these disparate links together is evidenced by this book, an opportunity for Kofie to show the world the evolution, the transition of his practice. To show how he came to be where he is now. Many early images which have never been printed before thus appear here. Images showing his movement from his early 90s character based work - an illustrative practice emerging from the culture of comics and skateboarding – to his later architectural style of letter formation – his Robotech, Macross, Japanese science-fictional style. The images show how Kofie came to merge these two techniques, how each period pushed him to where he now stands; his illustrative background meaning that his line work was always razor sharp, his way of working letters as if they were buildings leading to his architectonic stylings. Of course, there were also more formal influences, even whilst Kofie's artistic education emerged purely through his practice in the street (through, as he terms it, self-motivated learning). Influences such as the Russian Suprematist El Lissitzky and the Los Angeles legend Ed Moses. Such as the Neo-Futurist Syd Mead and the architect and artist Lebbeus Woods. Yet all these came second to Kofie's base desire to keep learning, to keep pushing, to keep exploring. His yearning to keep experimenting, keep dissecting, keep drafting.
All that history is seen here. All those influences on display. The nostalgic yearning and the assured expectancy. The wistfulness and the anticipation. All of Kofie's history. All the history he situates in his work. And so too all his future. Housed within the pages of this book as within every artwork he completes.

To get the latest bed bug detection, removal and prevention methods for your property, contact your local Rentokil Steritech specialists today!
Floridians are very familiar with the problem posed by cockroaches. Our tropical weather means that we often get cockroaches that other parts of the country don't have to deal with. Our roaches tend to be bigger and some of them even fly. Just a couple of cockroaches around your Florida home or business can create a huge infestation quickly.
Rentokil Steritech has cockroach control specialists in Florida who receive ongoing education on the biology and behavior of these insects.

Cuenca, Spain
Hanging Houses of Cuenca
Cliffside houses provide a spectacular view from their perilous perch above the valley.
Nestled in the the city of Cuenca, in the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha is a fine example of the absolute maximization of available space that the 15th through 18th centuries could provide.
Perched high atop a hill, 85 miles East of Madrid, the City of Cuenca lacked the option to spread out as population grew, so they did the next best: they expanded upwards, and outwards.
Once a common sight throughout the entire city, these houses, know as "hanging houses" seem to cling perilously to rocky outcroppings. Sometimes topping out at seven or eight, gravity defying (for the age) stories, these rascacielos, or skyscrapers often extended out over the valley far below.
The only remaining, intact structure of this type is Las Casas Colgadas, translated literally as The Hanging Houses, is now the location of the Cuenca Spanish Museum of Abstract Arts as well as a restaurant.

Out of the four season, summer was always the one that got mentioned last in the list of ones I love. I start with fall and spring then mention winter and casually blow off summer as if it was some awful time every year in my life.
I've mentioned before that I don't do heat. Yet, as I've become more invested in the food I eat, summer has been gaining ground on the other seasons as my favorite.
When winter hits, I miss the bustling farmers' markets of summer and my mouth drools for fresh fruit and tomatoes that are still very far in the future.
There is nothing better than fruit freshly picked. I've heard it said before but I find it completely true: fruit is mother natures candy.So grab some peaches, whip together this cobbler, throw bit of vanilla ice cream on the hot cobbler, and enjoy a taste of summer. I know I did!Print
Peach Cobbler

The quality of the samples is first rate. The cleverness of the idea is first rate. The UI is so easy to navigate (love the changing logo when you use the mod wheel).
And I'd have emailed sooner, but I just finally pulled myself away from the keyboard.
It's addictive. Really - an outstanding library.
Kudos to all who were involved in creating it!
Arthur Hendriks
For me HAG is a very tingling, bright and airy percussive guitar lib which adds freshness to my compositions. It is highly inspirational. It's that spark that ignites creativity.
Review 09/2013: The Audio Spotlight
...The attention to detail in sound really shows how well this library was put together.
summary: Hammered acoustic guitar is a unique library and will bring you many hours of fun while playing with it. Its strong sound quality will bring a whole new vibe to your tracks.
verdict: great value, 4.8/5 stars
Ivan Torrent
HAG brings me the chance to add roughness and that unique organic feeling that sometimes is not possible to achieve with other libraries. It sounds like a legendary instrument from another world, and works flawlessly in many contexts, from ethnic music to hybrid neo-orchestral. Awesome stuff.
Xiaotian Shi
I have been using the Hammered Acoustic Guitar FX library lately - what a fantastic library it is! The library has great sonic diversity and is extremely versatile - it excels in both intimate and epic scores. It really can yield amazing results easily. All the recordings are recorded super well, and the mangled up sound are unique and well produced. You will get sounds in this library that you simply can't find anywhere else.
Jordan Gagne
To me, the best part about HAG is its versatility. You wouldn't think it based solely on the name, but it's a fantastic percussion library with some really great sounds. Then you load another patch and you have this incredibly unique melodic instrument. As a composer, the ability to have these unique sounds that so few people have heard before is worth the library's weight in gold. There's a ton of mileage to be had in HAG and at this point I feel like I've only scratched the surface.
Russell Bell
When I'm writing and searching for inspiration, I love the organic, living breathing qualities in sound design. Something that ensures a connection to something very real is happening even with a sample. I think HAG captures that organic magic so well. It adds some grit, flavour and realism that is so often missing from sampled matter. HAG makes that essential leap from just sound design, to actual 'new instrument' territory.
Matt Bowdler
For my music I'm interested in unusual organic textures and HAG delivers that in numerous ways. These are great sounds that are both familiar AND unfamiliar at the same time, and I love that. As a sound designer myself, I can feel the attention to detail in every note. It's a great library; flexible and unique.
The Concept
Hammered Acoustic Guitar (HAG) is the result of "playing" an Ibanez AE acoustic guitar with drum sticks and brushes. In order to make it punchy and powerful we used two steel strings and tuned them to same pitch. This way we could maintain a slight modulation of the sound, a beat frequency.
But we did not stop after recording single notes. In fact, we have expanded the concept and did additional recording sessions dedicated to percussion and effect sounds. Especially the FX content is heavily processed and offers great material for musical sound design. Check out the special features of each package in the tab menu below. Also, you shouldn't miss to take a closer look at the patch list.
Important note: In order to use HAG you have to have the full version of Native Instruments' Kontakt 5.1 (or higher). This library does not work with the free Kontakt Player.
About the v1.5 update
Based on the feedback of HAG users and driven by new ideas and creativity we felt that it was about time to make some improvements to HAG:
- HAG Core was completely re-built from scratch, including new mapping, new features and a complete new script
- drastically reduced RAM footprint in Kontakt by no increasing of CPU usage (Core)
- complete rework of all GUI elements
- ensemble function with up to 4 guitars at the same time, including dedicated mixer section with 4 channel strips
- in-built preset section with 4 additional user preset slots (Core)
This package consists of the master patch. It is great for harmonic rhythms, accents or melodic lines.
- Core Master patch with in-built preset section (Sticks, Sticks mellow, Brushes, Brushes mellow, 4 ensemble presets, 4 user preset slots)
- 7 additional patches /w different FX chains
- bonus patch: Dirty Slam Hits
- up to 9x round robin per note per velocity
- up to 7 velocity layers
- 771 samples
- 1.2 GB Kontakt .ncw format
- 44.1kHz / 24bit / stereo
In this package you find all percussive sounds and the FX section. This is great for spicing up your tracks.
- 44 patches total
- morphing feature in all percussion patches
- 4 tonal fx patches (over 16 ambiences)
- 1.474 samples
- 1.2 GB Kontakt .ncw format
- 44.1kHz / 24bit / stereo
Simply said, you get everything what is included in 'Core' and 'FX & Percussion' and even more. We have created some special patches which make use of both sample contents.
- includes 'HAG Core' & 'HAG FX & Percussion'
- bonus patches (bundle multis)
- 2.305 samples
- 2.5 GB Kontakt .ncw format
- 44.1kHz / 24bit / stereo
Many ways to get creative with HAG
- make rhythmic sections (the in-built presets are a great and easy way to start creating your own sound according to 'your' taste)
- play HAG as a solo instrument, choose between the modern (perfectly tuned) and the 'organic' sample set
- use the FX & Percussion section to spice up or even create tracks entirely with it
- use sounds from HAG FX & Percussion for musical sound design:
features like the morphing slider (morphs between clean and distorted percussion), reverb on the modwheel (sampled) or tempo-synced stutter FXs give you the flexibility to sculpture the sound to fit your track.The organic feel of both, the natural and processed content freshens up sterile sounding compositions.

- Dirty Slam Hits
This bonus patch provides an aggressive and distorted sound. Additionally, a set of string hits is included as well.
- 'modern' button
When this button is turned on, all samples are tuned perfectly and the overall sound is a little bit brighter. When turned off the sound appears a little bit sloppy with more character. The difference between both is subtle, but it's there.

When DJ and record producer Ryan Lewis contacted him on Facebook for a possible collaboration in 2011, Ray Dalton was in the midst of pursuing his goal to work with every big hip-hop artist in Seattle. The multi-talented singer/songwriter was hoping that any of the powerhouse hooks he was creating would help him get discovered as an artist. The one that finally caught on - his infectious chorus for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' hip-hop anthem "Can't Hold Us" - helped spur the track from the duo's Grammy winning album, THE HEIST, into an ongoing global phenomenon. It also laid the groundwork for the 27 year old Dalton's emergence this year as an artist in his own right, with the release of his deeply grooving debut pop-soul single, "If You Fall." Dalton co-wrote the new track with Scott Effman (Chris Brown, Kelly Clarkson, Mike Posner). The single was produced by Rufus Dipper and mixed by multi-GRAMMY winner Michael Brauer. Dalton is excited about sharing his deeper, ever-evolving artistry as a songwriter and vocalist with the fans who know him best from "Can't Hold Us." Certified 6x Platinum by the RIAA, the track was a #1 hit on four Billboard charts, including the Hot 100, and was a chart-topper everywhere. Named "The Most Streamed Song of 2013" by Spotify, its massively popular Grammy® nominated video also earned the singer two MTV Video Music Awards. The Grammy® nominated singer also co-wrote and performed on the worldwide smash "Don't Worry" with Madcon (#1 in over 21 countries) and "Stronger" with DJ Arty.
