DAAAAAMN! That kicked up a whole damn notch! Now we know why that happened all those years ago and now he wants the same thing to happen again - 1nother war. He's hot but wicked. If an illusion can create organs, then its not surprising that an illusion can keep someone alive for so many years. I guess his power is naturally running out and he needs a stronger body (lolwut...Orochimaru?) so he's after Mukuro.
Wow....can't wait for next week. Just as we suspected, the battles are just the side dish to an even bigger story.

Right this is reborn at its best totally unexpected and out of no where...bringing up the ex guardian as an antagonist is a pretty gd plan. Really gotta see where this is going. But poor chrome though. But its gonna be one hell of a fight to see how any of them can match up to an ex guardian.

When all else fails, the other guardians + Primo would somewhat return (at least temporarily, insert Byakuran with his paradoxical powers).

Ive been saying that too, raymond. Although, hes more of tricking enma you know..

The sage was a fullness, he created his lineage to each be a fragment of what he was so to speak. Any member from those fragments (madara in this case) must advance themselves in some sense with other fragments to develop a more complete composite of the so6p.
To put it simply, madara is only a fraction in power and body to so6p. He is physically incapable of receiving rinnegan the way so6p did BECAUSE the so6p is RESPONSIBLE for madara's incomplete physical state and needing to advance sharingan into rinnegan.
And, almara, i want to take this moment to apologize for all those times i was ugly to you. I
Truly sorry for the hostility and attitude. I see it is unwelcome in this community and i set a bad example.
My question, it's had me thinking and wondering for over a year now. So, itachi's lecture to sasuke in their battle just prior to the kirin strike (no, IM not talking about disgruntled Japanese brewers living in Canada), he recalls his meeting the long haired masked man (that's madara). Madara is surprised he was detected. Madara had a hide in plain sight jutsu! Now, what sort of technique was it?
1) generations had passed since he retrieved hashirama's cells and orochimaru had already begun his experiments full swing. Was madara already capable of using some of hashirama's powers beyond simply sustaining his rinnegan? Was he slipping through the trees like zetsu and yamato?
2) tobi masqueraded as madara before the eyes if the kages and sasuke. Minato thought tobi's space time abilities could only be achieved by madara. Did madara have dimensional leap powers identical or similar to obito? Not only does that thread elements together in my belief obito is a descendant of madara or izuna but that technique has been 100% shown to make light work of almost all super elite forms of detection because it bypasses them completely! Can madara hop dimensions too? Also, was his meteor summon a creation tech or was it called from a dimension? Was his two for the price of one meteor a symbolic secret gesture of crushing hope and a way of justice like how the crushing rocks, twice falling on obito were illustratively instrumental in his transformation?
3) is he using muu's invisibility tech? Muu strangely enough has techniques which visually and conceptually tie into madara and tobi and the nature of those techniques can satisfactorily explain the two halves of zetsu and madara/tobi.
4) is he using illusion or genjutsu to fool people into thinking they don't notice him?
5) which explanation can both allow madara to be stealthy and detectable yet have the exception of itachi noticing madara's presence.
Well, madara was the long haired masked man. Now, why did he also have a mask? He had already given his eyes to nagato! It was obvious and in my face whole time and i didn't make the connection. Who's eye or eyes did madara have after giving his rinnegan to nagato? Also, since obito changed to a whirlpool mask, did madara's flame mask reflect his primary power beyond the usual uchiha affinity for fire?
-What was madara's technique for avoiding detection?
-Who's eyes did madara have after giving nagato rinnegan?
-What was up with madara's mask?
Awesome bonus question:
-Are the elder son's eyes preserved and in use by anybody? Dun dun dunnnn

You know the games on this list, the grand old dames of the industry, many of which are still with us today. But great as these games are, they show their ages. In The List today, MMORPG.com Managing Editor Bill Murphy takes a look at five MMOs that really need a make over. Check out Bill's list and see what you think. Then let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Games are becoming more and more like movies in how their IPs are handled. It seems that as videogames break into their forties (yes, they're that old), more and more titles from the 80s and 90s are seeing revivals. But one genre that doesn't have this happening just yet is the MMO. Sure MMORPGs are a younger offshoot of the industry, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few old gems already which players would eat up should they be refreshed. Heck, they don't even need to be "dead" games to deserve a reboot that makes them new, shiny, and attractive. With that in mind we've put together a list of five games we'd love to see get the revival treatment.
Read more of Bill Murphy's The List: Five MMOs That Should Be Remade.
Good list this time around, I agree with each game in it, especially the number one.
To SB fans, please stop making our demographic look bad.Stop invading threads that have nothing to do with sandboxes.
SW:TOR Graphics Evolution and Comparison
+1 For DAoC and Ultima. Old school MMORPGers are getting left behind in modern MMOs, and there is a pretty big target niche they could reach out to.
I choose DAoC and AC remakes for sure, two of my favorite games of all time.
I really like that list... a lot.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
Good list. Huge huge fan of DAoC and AO especially. All the rest have my respect.
"Never met a pack of humans that were any different. Look at the idiots that get elected every couple of years. You really consider those guys more mature than us? The only difference between us and them is, when they gank some noobs and take their stuff, the noobs actually die." - Madimorga
AC and DAoC would have been my top two also, but in reverse order.
Man.. if Lineage improved a little on their mechanic i would come back. Still one of the best world PVP around, and the classes are one of the bests. I hoped AION would be L3 but.. what a joke.. not even 1/10 of what L2 is with crappy "westernization".
Hope Archage/Tera bring back a lil of the filling of Tr000 pvp.
now: GW2 (11 80s).
Dark Souls 2.
future: Mount&Blade 2 BannerLord.
"Bro, do your even fractal?"
Recommends: Guild Wars 2, Dark Souls, Mount&Blade: Warband, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
Of note, Lineage still operates in Asia and has a huge number of players there. As long as that is the case it won't be remade, but Lineage 3 is, in the pipeline, even if development on it is currently suspended.
DAoC. I just want to see why those fans keep trying to turn every single game in the market into it. Lets see I saw threads about people wanting DAoC features added into Rift(they had a 100 page thread floating around), GW2, SWToR, and WoW.
I personally think 3 faction splits the population FAR too much and the only way to pull it off would b on a super servers that did not cause lag when you have thousands on the screen which is easily 5-10 years away.
DAoC and UO FTW, my first 2 MMOS. An AO remake would be awesome too. good list
I miss DAoC
Lineage was one of the best game i ever played, and i played it for many years. I jumped off the bandwagon a few years ago when it was evident how poorly the game was managed. NCsoft are so bad at what they do and they let amazing games vanish into thin air.
I do want to eleborate on this. It was the same game like in Asia but the team in NA was too small and way under qualified. Many private lineage 1 servers emerged during this time. I played on one of the private servers and the admins would translate the Asian patches in about a week and they were fully playable. This took the official NCsoft team over a year to do in NA. When a private server is better managed than the official thing you know something is terribly wrong. Another thing this game needed was a new server so everyone could start fresh. No one wants to start playing a game with no level cap when the servers have been out since the age of time. Hopefully a real company will pick this game up again and give it the attention it deserves.
Now on to anarchy online. I played this game on and off for around 5 years. This game is amazing as well but just like NCsoft titles, Funcom obviously doesn't know how to run a game company. Anarchy online's player base is basically non existant. They also keep promising this new graphics engine similar to age of conan's. They have been promising this for years but the truth is it will never happen. The team is too small, period. It is only a matter of time before you see them close the servers for this game also.
Lineage 1 and anarchy online are the best games i have ever played, and i really mean that. What they need is a real gaming company to back them up. You may not agree with my straight forward wording on my reply, but i have a soft spot for these games.
Don't shoot me, but since FFXIV didn't give us a remake/reboot of FFXI, I am going to say I would like FFXI remade. Keep the game world, systems, story etc, but update graphics and most importantly UI, controls and make combat for fluid.
Good list though, I would LOVE to play new versions of AC or AO. Those 2 game always appealed to me but I couldn't get into them due to graphics and controls.
but in w7 or plus,dx11 only!3d!etc!
Call me crazy but I would love to see and updated and bug-free Shadowbane...
A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true...
Meh a forgotten one by many I guess but I'd love a remake of Shadowbane. New graphic and better server to handle the pvp and city sieges would be awesome.
Meridian 59 ffs.
Why was the Grandfather omitted, Mr.Murphy?
"Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day!"
AO and DAoC remade with updated graphics and animations with a few tweeks and I would never play anything else.
Godz of War I call Thee
AO 4tw. I would buy lifetime sub to AO2 based on the announcement alone (as long as it was still Funcom behind it).
I think SWG should be on that list, but then again, i think everyone knows that'll never happen.
"Id rather work on something with great potential than on fulfilling a promise of mediocrity."

Tried: AO,EQ,EQ2,DAoC,SWG,AA,SB,HZ,CoX,PS,GA,TR,IV,GnH,EVE, PP,DnL,WAR,MxO,SWG,FE,VG,AoC,DDO,LoTRO,Rift,TOR,Aion,Tera,TSW,GW2,DCUO,CO,STO
Favourites: AO,SWG,EVE,TR,LoTRO,TSW,EQ2, Firefall
Currently Playing: ESO
Tabula Rasa
Interesting list. Minewould look something like:
5) Star Wars Galaxies (pre NGE)
4) Horizons : Empires of Istaria
3) Ultima Online
2) Dark Age of Camelot
1) Asheron's Call
"Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're alright..."
Kickstarter 2 / Naysayers 0
Great list!
MY special considerations would be E&B and Shadowbane.
Waiting on:
In no particular order: DAoC, FFXI, Vanguard, UO and EQ1
No SWG? This actually surprised me. SWG and UO are two of the most featurerich MMO's there ever have been. UO is on the list and SWG isnt
Anarchy Online would definately need more then just a graphics revamp to become successfull. The game is quite shallow apart from its skillsystem and implants. Actually the skillsystem isnt that great either. There is like 95% wrong choice combinations and 5% good choice combinations. So AO's skillsystem plays more like some schoolexam (you have to study the forums and then take the ingame test ) I loved the game mainly for its ambience.
Never played the other three, so cant comment on those.

Should the Leafs sign any of the "big three" RFAs to an offer sheet?
Cam Charron
January 15 2013 11:07AM
From Flames Nation: Outside the Box: Sign Ryan O'Reilly to an offer sheet
Dave Nonis didn't sign any other teams' restricted free agents when he was the general manager of the Vancouver Canucks, but he felt the pinch when Ryan Kesler was signed to a $1.9M offer sheet in the summer of 2006. I never got the sense Nonis was too rattled, and kept quiet on the topic of offer sheets for his tenure.
Of course, opting to take the deal in the stead of two Philadelphia selections turned out to be the wise move. If Nonis failed to surround the Canucks with talent when he was the general manager, he certainly had a knack for locking up pieces eventually used by Mike Gillis to bring the team to within a game of the final.
But what about signing players to offer sheets? Toronto has all of their draft picks available save this year's 4th round selection, so they could sign any offer sheet to any restricted free agent available. There are a few interesting RFAs available, but the three most intriguing ones are Ryan O'Reilly, Jamie Benn, and Pernell Karl Subban.
Ryan O'Reilly
The Leafs need a first line centre. O'Reilly's rights belong to the Colorado Avalanche, and doesn't appear to be too concerned about coming over to North America unless he's offered the $4M salary he gets from Mettallurg Magnitogorsk. (The other storyline here is, playing on Nik Kulemin's team for a few games, they must be best friends now, so of course he'd want to sign in Toronto. Also, he's from a small-town in Southern Ontario, so obviously it's his life-long dream to play with the Leafs)
If you need a refresher, here's how RFA compensation works. There are no changes to the system in the new collective agreement. From Pension Plan Puppets:
- $1,110,249 or below - No Compensation
- Over $1,110,249 to $1,682,194 - 3rd round pick
- Over $1,682,194 to $3,364,391 - 2nd round pick
- Over $3,364,391 to $5,046,585 - 1st round pick, 3rd
- Over $5,046,585 to $6,728,781 - 1st round pick, 2nd, 3rd
- Over $6,728,781 To $8,410,976 - Two 1st Round Picks, 2nd, 3rd
- Over $8,410,976 - Four 1st Round Picks
Anything up to $5-million would cost the Leafs a 1st and a 3rd. While nobody disputes that Toronto needs a first line centre, in the aftermath of the Kessel deal, people do dispute that the Leafs would be wise to give up first round selections, particularly ones that aren't lottery-protected.
The moves of the past, however, shouldn't influence those of the future. O'Reilly is going into his 21-year old season, a year younger than Kessel was when he started his first season with the Leafs. Another key difference is that O'Reilly plays centre, a much more valuable position on the ice, one who has the ability to affect the play at both ends more convincingly, with a few notable exceptions.
All that said, the risk of giving up a first round pick is fairly high, particularly when we only have a couple of thousand minutes of NHL time to gauge O'Reilly's quality. His main offensive partner in Colorado last season was Gabriel Landeskog, the Calder Trophy winner, and all Landeskog does is drive play. The two were exceptional together, with a 56.4% puck-possession rate together, while O'Reilly was 47.0% outside of the pairing, and Landeskog was still well over even at 51.3%. [Hockey Analysis]
The Leafs need a play-driving centre. Right now I'm not sure if the proof exists that Landeskog isn't a Corey Perry-esque exception to my belief that centres traditionally drive play, not wingers. While O'Reilly works very well with Landeskog, it's too big of a risk to assume the same sort of chemistry with Kessel.
Jamie Benn
That said, Jamie Benn, a good BC-boy, is also a centreman, albeit a converted one. Benn's WOWYs, or "with or without you" are more impressive than O'Reilly's. Here are the puck-possession rates (measured by shot differential) of Benn's top flankers last season:
|Benn when Apart
|Teammate when Apart
|Steve Ott
|Michael Ryder
|Loui Eriksson
Steve Ott's separation from the Dallas lineup is actually going to be a good case-study. Generally, when the two played together, they'd split the face-off duties, and Ott would also play on Dallas' top checking unit. He had a fairly good season last year. Benn took 713 draws with the Stars last year, had a fairly decent QualComp and a very high Relative Corsi rate.
Here are the relevant advanced stats here, quality of competition, puck-possession, and time on ice, via Behind the Net:
|Corsi Rel QoC
|Relative Corsi
|.493 (8th/14)
|10.7 (3rd/14)
|14.38 (3rd/14)
|.539 (7th/13)
|5.4 (3rd/13)
|13.63 (5th/13)
I think the year-to-year consistency here is more impressive than any one dominant season, and if the Leafs were going to gamble a couple of picks on an RFA centreman, Benn is the better bet. That said, he may command a higher price than O'Reilly, but the Leafs have the cap space and the picks. I think there's a better return there. The only evidence I can find on Benn's price is somewhere between $5.5M and $6M, which would cost the Leafs three picks, but give them a very good 23-year old who is sure to provide defensive support for Kessel.
PK Subban
One thing the Leafs severely lack is a good two-way defenceman to take the right side of the ice and provide support for the overworked Dion Phaneuf-Carl Gunnarsson pairing. Into François Beauchemin's spot, the Leafs plugged in a defenceman named Jake Gardiner, who can't handle the heavy minutes yet, and they haven't provided him with a suitable right side mate to play with.
It just so happens Subban is one of the young, elite defenders in the game today. Discussions about his work ethic and cockiness aside, Subban is one of the lone play-drivers on a barren Montreal Canadiens team. I've charted out Subban's WOWY's with the Canadiens teammates he's played over 500 minutes with in the last two seasons:
Other than a very good centreman in Tomas Plekanec, every player does better with than without PK on the ice. Lars Eller, Andrei Kostitsyn, Hal Gill and David Desharnais go from sub-50% players to possession players with PK. That's the effect a top defenceman can have on the club.
He's basically the Habs' equivalent of Mikhail Grabovski, just on D. It would be nice to have a conceivable future where Grabovski and Subban are working over the Habs in their own end, where Greg Patyrn and a few picks can't stop them.
Taking Risks
One aspect of the new collective bargaining agreement I don't like is that it penalizes risk-takers. The Leafs made big moves in Burke's first year acquiring both Phaneuf and Kessel, who have lived up to their returns, but the windows on their primes are dwindling. The Leafs have a few good prospect pieces, notably Morgan Rielly, but are there any established NHLers currently on the roster who you can see being big pieces for the Leafs three or four years down the line?
Draft picks are free because they're essentially lottery tickets: a first-round pick is not guaranteed to yield a fantastic return. It just so happens that the Leafs were awful in their first year with Kessel, Boston picked up Tyler Seguin, and then Dougie Hamilton fell to ninth overall. Still, even with the accolades those prospects have earned, neither are core components of the Boston Bruins yet. Perhaps they will be in a couple of years, but Kessel is more vital to the Leafs than Seguin is to the Bruins.
My argument is that waiting on draft picks to develop will set the Leafs into perpetual orbit around the Entry Draft like Edmonton or Long Island, and the assets they currently have: all of their draft picks, unlimited money, and salary cap space, ought to be put to use to giving the team good players that we know will be good players. Each of the above options is a good fit for the Leafs and addresses perpetual team needs, not just for this franchise but for all others. A team will always need a top centreman like Benn, or a top defenceman like Subban.
Nonis isn't, or wasn't, a risk taker in Vancouver, which is part of the reason he made the playoffs just one out of three seasons at the helm in Vancouver. After gutting the Brian Burke's Canucks, he acquired a young Roberto Luongo—his best move—but failed to address holes in front of him, leaving an offensively drained team forced to play the trap to compete.
When you acquire a younger player, there's significantly less risk. It's not like it's in Nonis' best interests to add a 33-year old goaltender and nothing else. The group in front of the goaltending needs to be addressed, with the Leafs being one of the poorest possession teams in the league last season. A defensively-responsible centreman for Kessel and Joffrey Lupul, or another top defenceman, who close some of that gap.
Surely there will be conflicting opinions in the comments, but if the Leafs have assets to spend, they ought to spend them now, rather than letting them depreciate in value over time.
Subban *is* that good, but the whacky season the Habs had has to be taken into account when looking at that team. They were an excellent possession club for 20 or so games, ending when they had a cluster of injuries just before Martin was fired, and Cunneyworth, well, I don't think he was ever going to preside over a positive possession club.
That said, it's really odd that the Habs haven't somehow managed to sign Subban yet. Word on the street is that Subban wants long and the Habs want short, which is puzzling -- why wouldn't you want to sign a guy like Subban to a long-term value deal now, while his offensive stats are in a low?
Subban %100 yes please
Good read Cam...
I'd choose Benn over the other two RFA's. I don't necessarily trust O'Reilly and we need a top tier C more than a puck moving D man... presently and in the future.
The only reservation I'd have is that these three RFA's aren't guarenteed to turn out either. The NHL is full of players who start their careers with promise and then completely fall off the map...
I think Subban or Benn would be the best choice, with the nod going to Benn as # 1 centre is the greater need. If Montreal would rather have the picks than Subban, Nonis would have to be crazy not give Subban, an offer sheet. Getting a stud D man for a 1st and 3rd pick is a no brainer.
Subban or Benn would both likely fall into the category where we would give up a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick but as long as we avoid a bottom 5 finish getting either one would be worth it. Personally I would prefer Subban, because the prospect of Rielly, Gardiner, Subban and Phaneuf as our top-4 down the line sounds pretty good to me.

But if McAuley falls then it may not be a bad idea to look at him at the end of the 2nd as a possible future replacement for Dyson perhaps.
If we're going to bolster the secondary it should be done in FA if we want an immediate contributor.

Posted 25 January 2007 - 10:27 PM
Posted 25 January 2007 - 10:40 PM
I also am looking into what Brandon Mebane can bring as a potential NT. He isn't the most athletic guy...but he is a big time overachiever and strong. But the thing is you don't have to be a speedy, athletic tackle to be a nose...you need strength and the ability to take on multiple blockers. If the guy can put on more weight...he might be our eventual answer. He's already got the Mangini character....now we just need to find out if he can bulk up a little more.
And yeah...Adam Carriker has definitely impressed me. I heard Gruden say he thinks he could be a 3 technique tackle aswell in a 4-3. That sucks, because it only pushes his value up. I originally thought he would be a good pick with the 2a pick...but now I don't know if he'll last. If he continues this play and has a good combine...we might have no choice but to take him with the first if the Jets want him.
Victor Abiamiri is having a good practice...except that he kept getting owned by Levi Brown. But I don't think he's a 3-4 player. I see him more as a 4-3 DE than a 3-4 OLB...it's just me.
OG Josh Beekman continues to impress me...I definitely wouldn't mind seeing him taken with the 2b pick.
I kind of like Chris Davis, WR from FSU. He is tiny, at 6'0" and only 180 lbs. But he seems to me kind of like a Tim Dwight type. He is fast and shifty and runs good routes...he is also more than willing to go over the middle despite his size. With a little pro strength training he could turn into a good 3rd or 4th WR and provide an extra dimension.
I don't...

Tui isn't on the team anymore...we had this discussion maybe a week ago trying to figure out if he was still on the team...someone found an article saying the team had reached an injury settlement and realeased him...
Posted 26 January 2007 - 12:08 PM
Problem with Tui is firstly he was on IR all last season meaning he is coming back from a pretty significant injury which meant he missed precious experience, putting his development back a bit. Also being an UFA it is assumed generally he will have less talent than someone available in the draft and he won't be a big cap casualty. Even if they draft a NT in the 4th or 5th rounds it is more likely they make the roster than Tui.
Posted 26 January 2007 - 12:11 PM
Really.... that sucks. Didn't know that.
*looking around paranoid then screaming*
Guess we're in the market for a NT. There aren't many quality NT's though so I'm not sure they address that in the draft. I'm guessing go pretty heavily after Terrell Sands aka The Immoval Object. That guy played really good this year.
Posted 26 January 2007 - 12:11 PM
He still isn't on the team...
Posted 26 January 2007 - 12:12 PM
Your post was posted whilst I was writing mine so I didn't read he wasn't on the team until after my post. I too didn't know he was released, but now I do.

Sands sounds like a good idea at first...at 335 pounds why wouldn't he...but take a closer look and you'll see he's 6'7". That is way too tall for a 3-4 NT. He needs to be a lot shorter to get good leverage. He's too lean...and I use that term loosely...to be a NT to me. The only other guy who is even close to 6'7" and plays NT is Ted Washington...but he's only 6'5" and a whopping 365 pounds...I mean Jebus...365 POUNDS!
So it's possible...but I'm not banking money on Sands being a great NT...
Posted 26 January 2007 - 12:29 PM
DRob actually started to get pretty dominant at NT in the 2nd half of the season. I remember looking at him and being amazed.... that's a compliment considering in weeks 1-8 I was constantly screaming at the TV, "D-ROB YOU FAT ASS, YOU SUCK!" everytime a RB gained 5 yards. If we got an end that could get off tacklers to get to the ball carrier I think our line would be primo with DRob at NT.
He's not actually that much smaller than Casey Hampton actually and he's considered to be the best NT in the game right now. I think he can do it.

Why invest a second rounder in a FB - a position not really utilized much in Schotty Jr's offense last season? Leonard is a good player but I'd much rather get, if they draft who you said (Carriker and Beekman), an OLB, RB, WR or CB than a FB.

As the Thanksgiving season rolls around each year, I become nostalgic for my time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru. This year's Thanksgiving nostalgia marked the 7th year anniversary of my return to the US after a roller coaster Peace Corps experience. I surprised my family (I hadn't returned to the US in 2.5 years) the eve of Thanksgiving in 2005. Thanksgiving in my family is a big celebration at my parents' house in the Chicago suburbs. Cousins come from NYC and Portland. Over glasses of wine and baked brie, we talk about the past year and the evening typically ends with a shopping spree in the basement where I share the latest Mayu designs — this year there was a lot to share from our 2012 Fall collection of alpaca scarves and alpaca hats hand knit in Peru. The evening made me reflect on those that have inspired me throughout my journey as the owner of Mayu…
This photo was taken my first month in the Peace Corps with my host sisters. Mayu is the smallest of the three and she is the inspiration behind this social enterprise. I am particularly fond of this picture because this was the first time my three host sisters — Mayu included — took me to the "chacra", the fields high in the Andes Mountains where they grow dozens of types of potatoes. That day we harvested potatoes. I remember it like it was yesterday; it was just the beginning of what would become a very fruitful relationship with the Peruvian community where I was living.
Since meeting Mayu and her sisters and the talented knitters that create our one-of-a-kind alpaca accessories, we've all come a long way…we've learned lots from one another about our cultures, the challenges of starting a small business, creating the perfect alpaca scarves and hats, and so much more. I'm grateful to have been introduced to the knitters as well as my host sisters. Seven years later we continue to remain connected and I am happy that I've been able to support them with additional income through the sale of our alpaca scarves and hats.
For more on Mayu, find us on Twitter, and Facebook, and hear more stories from the field on our Blog!

Leather jackets have long been the uniform of the rebellious. From the first leather moto jacket sold at Harley Davidson in NYC in the '20s, to Marlon Brando donning his in the '50s classic The Wild One, to the punk movement of the '70s, proclaiming one's outsider status has been as easy as throwing on a leather jacket. But in the last few seasons, designers have shown there's much more to leather than bikers and bad boys.
In Derek Lam's version (pictured), print haircalf panels give leather the look of refined tweed, while other designers soften leather jackets with elegant touches like fur, draping, and delicate shades of blush and bone. This style has also gone sporty: a leather puffer jacket and a hoodie style by S.W.O.R.D are the perfect match for beat-up sneakers. Other designers draw inspiration from the leather jacket's WWI-era military roots, offering aviator jackets with shearling trim and bomber jackets with army green canvas sleeves (like this one by William Rast). Still prefer the tough-girl look? Channel James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause with a cherry red version by Elise Overland (motorcycle and attitude optional).

Canada's sitting volleyball team ready to take on the world (from Vancouver Sun)
VANCOUVER — At seven-foot-two, with a deep baritone voice, Greg Stewart is a presence just about anywhere he goes.
But on this day, in a gym in Surrey, B.C., he stands out — figuratively and certainly literally as he lumbers after wayward volleyballs — in a gigantic way.
Prosthetic limbs and athletic bags are strewn around the perimeter of the gym. Young men and women, most missing all or part of a leg, are sliding across the floor on their behinds, stretching for a dig or setting up a teammate for a spike of the ball over a low-slung net.

Yeah, that's just how I roll.
Anyway, the thing about the loaf above is that it was supposed to be a sandwich loaf. Totally didn't work out.
See, I thought the recipe called for a larger loaf pan, which I happen to have stored in my minimal kitchen space. Except it wanted a smaller pan, so the bread didn't take on a rectangular shape.
Amorphous sandwich loaves are kind of my thing. I know how to properly shape one--I've watched way too many YouTube videos on the subject--but they always split on the side no matter what I do. Ugly sandwich loaves make good toast, but not good sandwiches.
Disappointed with my very tasty but deformed loaf of bread, I took myself over to Panera yesterday to contemplate the wonderful world of yeast. Or, you know, to work since I didn't feel like doing so from home and we have some unfriendly cafes nearby (I, of course, waited until The View was over).
I sat there for four hours (unbothered!), staring at everyone's crusty bread, while sipping my Mixed Berry Smoothie (quite delicious, but be sure to tell them to make it thicker), and I came to no conclusions about my sandwich bread dilemma.
Okay, that's a lie. I vowed to steal a smaller loaf pan from my mom next month. Yeah, I have a list.
Anyway, I had wireless internet, a fresh salad, a smoothie, and the smell of bread in my nostrils. for hours on end. And I didn't have to set foot in a Starbucks.

Take it to the Limit
October 30 2010 08:03AM
Opening night, 2010-11. The Edmonton Oilers--coming off the worst season in their history--had three highly touted rookies and 82 games ahead to show what they could do. It didn't take long for the youngsters to take it to the limit.
Before the first period of their first NHL game, Mike Milbury, Kelly Hrudey and Scott Oake were talking about Eberle, Hall and Pääjärvi. Milbury suggested before the game that survival was the key, and Hrudey said "I think (that nervousness) might be as long as 20 minutes." 20 minutes later the tone from Hrudey, Milbury and Oake was completely different.
Speed was mentioned about a dozen times in the between period comments and then Hrudey said this: "I thought I'd see more nervousness from him. The thing about these three young men is the way they think the game. I knew they had talent, but I didn't know they'd be that smart on the ice."
For Edmonton Oiler fans, the progress early in the season is coming in waves. Last night in Chicago, the kids (and veterans) took full advantage of a veteran goalie on a bad night and the Hawks depleted defense. The final tally for the three rookies was 2 goals, 4 assists over several miles and 60 minutes.
This morning, there are some impressive items for Oiler fans to ponder. The NHL leader in rookie points? Jordan Eberle. Pääjärvi is tied for 5th, Hall tied for 8th. In terms of TOI per game, Eberle is 1st among rookie NHL forwards, followed by Hall in 2nd and Pääjärvi in 7th.
Pääjärvi leads the group in 5x5 points-per-60 minutes:
- Pääjärvi 2.52
- Hall 1.94
- Eberle 1.53
Pääjärvi also leads the trio in Corsi relative to quality of competition and PDO. All of these numbers beg a few questions, so let's ask them.
- Who has been the most impressive? Eberle. If Pääjärvi is the rocket man and Hall is touched by God, Eberle plays the game with a combination of skill, smarts and determination seldom seen in a rookie. His positioning is exceptional, his anticipation off the charts and the words "quick stick" don't do justice to what the young man can do in all three zones. Intercepting passes, breaking up rushes by getting a piece of a pass, he's already a player the coach can count on in difficult circumstances.
- The Calder trophy? I'll vote Eberle but it's early. Hall is just finding the range and if he can post a strong number then Eberle (and others) will have to rip it up in order to win the thing. Pääjärvi will have to get increased minutes at both EV and PP in order to run with the other two as the season wears on.
- Injury? If every shift is a sortie then every successful flight means these players are settling in with the size and speed of the game. Pääjärvi has appeared to shy away from traffic in the last week or so after a Regehr hit (would they just trade his ass to Boston already?) and they've all taken big league hits. However, all three resume's imply durable young men and so far so good.
- What has been surprising about Eberle? We're not talking about Eberle's lack of foot speed and that was a topic before the season began. Also, I felt he would eventually be a "complete player" but he seems to be playing at that level now. This is early in his career and he could lose confidence, but watching him play it looks for all the world like he knows exactly what to do in all situations.
- What has been surprising about Hall? His composure. Look, Taylor Hall is a kid. Canadians like our best hockey players to say and do the right things and it must have been difficult for him early in the season when the puck wasn't going in the net. But in every interview (and there were a lot) he seemed sincere and confident. Sometimes you encounter people who are ready to meet high expectations on their way to greatness. Hall definitely looks like that type of person.
- What has been surprising about Pääjärvi? Well I knew he was fast but he's really, really fast. The young man is also efficient offensively (witness his 5x5/60 number above) and is already an expert on things like the give and go. I'm surprised he's so adaptable in terms of linemates, and he's very aware defensively if not effective yet.
- Is this group of three better than the 07-08 rookie group (Gagner, Cogliano, Brodziak)? This is the best F trio to play their first NHL season in Edmonton since 79-80 (Gretzky, Messier, Dave Hunter) and 80-81 (Kurri, Anderson, Tom Roulston).
- What is their overall weakness? Play away from the puck, but even with that there are promising signs. Eberle's overall effectiveness, Pääjärvi's eagerness to fall back and Hall's skill set which lend themselves to the defensive side of the puck.
- Will the Oilers get a lottery pick in 2011? Not at this rate. What are you going to do? You can't hold back the water.
You evaluation is dead on in my opinion. The only issue I have right now with the team going forward is the softness of thier defensemen. Peckham has done an admirable job in that department. Smid I thought would give us more of that and I think that the way he playing is making me think more and more that he either dosen't want to play that type of game. Or can't. Either way I think that the writing is on the wall for Smid. Strudwick and Vandermeer are what they are .5-6 defenceman who are asked to play roles. Foster needs to show me more physicality. I see the Oilers not making the playoffs and being a lottery team just because of the learning curve that this team will have to overcome.Along with a soft D and questionable backup goaltending I see us somewhere in the 25-26 spot in the standings when all is said and done. My personal feeling is that we need to finish 29-30th again to continue the rebuilding of this team longterm. To do that will probably mean moving Penner, one of thier D and for certain one of thier goalies. My feeling is that Souray will remain an Oiler property untill the draft next year, where at that point he will either have played his way back to a point where he is an asset. Or he has blown it and the Oilers are stuck with his contract on the books for another year at 2/3 of his salary. The future is bright. The Chicago game last showed us a glimpse of what we can expect in the future. I like the direction and look forward to many more nights like that in the years to come.

William Penn's Country Estate - Pennsbury
The purposes of the society are given in its 1906 charter:
· "to perpetuate the memory of those who came to America in the good ship Welcome in company with William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, who arrived in October, 1682
· to collect and preserve historic data relative to the settlement of the State of Pennsylvania and the founding of Philadelphia
· and to bring together in social intercourse and friendly relations the descendants of the aforesaid persons who came to these shores in the ship Welcome."
Though it is not specifically stated in the charter, the Society was founded as nonprofit and educational.
Originally, the membership was limited to the descendants (male or female) of those who were passengers on the Welcome. Presently, membership is composed of descendants of those ancestors who traveled with fellow Quakers to America during the course of the year of 1682. This includes 22 ships and 23 crossings of the Atlantic.
On April 1, 1906, nine people signed the charter organizing the Welcome Society. We do not know whose was the original idea to found such a society, but we do know the names of those original members. They are, presumably in order of membership:
Frances Howard Williams, the first president
Aubrey Howard Williams, son of Frances, the secretary
Rodman Wistar, the vice president
George Cuthbert Gillespie
Alexander Wilson Wistar, member of Council
Thomas H. Shoemaker
Charles Gobrecht Darrach
Henry Darrach
Harold Edgar Gillingham
On April 21 the signed charter was submitted to the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas for a certificate of incorporation. The two Williamses and Thomas Shoemaker swore an affidavit that the charter was indeed "their act and deed." At the court on the 26th, Thomas Cadwalader, attorney for the group, moved the charter be approved. This was granted on October 3 and recorded on the 5th, and The Welcome Society of Pennsylvania became a legal entity.
The charter lists the officers of the Society as of the first of April. Beside the charter signers these were: Elliott Fischer, treasurer, and Richard McCall Cadwalader, Sydney George Fisher, and John Story Jenks, all members of Council. Although he was not named as an officer or signatory of the charter, at least one other name apparently appears before the last of the officers - Charles Evert Cadwalader. By the end of the year the Society had 26 members.
The official business meeting was set for the fourth Monday in October of each year. Since that time the meeting has always occurred in October, the month that the Welcome arrived in the Delaware River, but the date has varied. The membership was limited to the descendants (male or female) of those who were passengers on the Welcome.
Throughout its history, the society has maintained faithful to the goals of education and assisting others. The minutes of the early years are replete with records of gifts - small ones, since even by the annual meeting in 1931 the receipts and expenditures balanced out less than $1,000, and the remaining full balance in the Saving Fund Society of Germantown was only $2,600.
The Society has an illustrated, educational 24-page book on the life and times of William Penn titled "Your Friend William Penn". Select the following link to view the book. It is in Adobe Acrobat [PDF] format and is approximately 10 megabytes in size -- dial-up users should be aware. You may save a copy from within the Adobe Acrobat Reader program or by clicking the right mouse button on the link and choosing "Save Target As" or "Save File As". [You may download the free Acrobat Reader program from www.adobe.com if necessary]
Please select the following link to see a list of the ancestors approved for membership in the Welcome Society:
Mr. Andrew F. Webster, 257 E. Third Street, Moorestown, NJ 08057
Lydia Willits Bartholomew, Lucky Hill Farm, 145 Lucky Hill Road, West Chester, PA 19382
Mr. William Newberry Potts, 800 Spring Avenue, Fort Washington, PA 19034

The annual dues for membership are $35. Lifetime membership is $700.

New Sustainability Targets for Rice - the World's Most Important Food Crop02/
Nairobi/Manila, 1 December 2011 - Rice consumers worldwide can now look forward to eating "green" rice with the launch of an initiative that will set environmentally sustainable and socially responsible rice production management standards.The Sustainable Rice Platform, an initiative of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and founding members Louis Dreyfus Commodities and Kellogg Company, will elevate rice production to a new level by helping farmers, whether subsistence or market-focused, boost their rice production, keep the environment healthy, facilitate safer working conditions, and generate higher incomes to address poverty and improve food security. At the inaugural meeting of the Sustainable Rice Platform held at IRRI's Headquarters in the Philippines this week, government representatives from Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar, many international and Asia-based companies and non-government organizations participated, demonstrating their support and interest in contributing to the initiative. "There are many different sustainable technologies and practices for rice, the world's most important food crop that feeds half the planet," said James Lomax, from UNEP, which initiated the Sustainable Rice Platform. "The challenge is to find a mechanism for scaling up these practices and their delivery in many countries," said Mr. Lomax. "The Sustainable Rice Platform provides opportunities for promoting resource use efficiency and sustainable trade flows throughout the value chain of the global rice sector and deliver real results to the lives of rice farmers."The Sustainable Rice Platform will draw relevant lessons from established commodity initiatives that promote sustainability, such as for sugarcane, cotton, and coffee, and apply them to rice. It will set sustainability targets, develop and promote regional and global standards of best practices for rice production, and support rice farmers to adopt these practices. It will also identify criteria to assess how well the sustainability targets are being met and if farmers are implementing the practices."For example, we will harness our know-how to set standards to better manage insect pests in rice to reduce the unsafe and ineffective use of pesticides, which can damage the environment and the health of farmers," said Bas Bouman, who will lead the work at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) ; one of the project partners."We can also develop and promote the use of specialized field calculators to determine the environmental footprint of water, carbon, greenhouse gas emissions, or chemical use," he added.Rice presents a unique challenge for any quality control system because it is mostly grown by hundreds of thousands of poor farmers who have only very small farms of less than one hectare each. Moreover, 90 percent of rice is grown in developing countries in Asia where access to knowledge and support is limited.National government agricultural departments will explore and test management practices to make them nationally relevant and to promote them to rice farmers. Non-government organizations and companies will assist to develop the sustainability criteria to help safeguard or improve environmental health. Rice farmers, production, processing, or trade organizations and businesses, will use the Sustainable Rice Platform to secure a sustainable rice system and crucially explore incentive mechanisms for farmers to grow rice more sustainably. "Rice is an extremely important food crop, both for Kellogg Company and the world. We are therefore delighted to support UNEP in the mass adoption of better and more sustainable rice-growing practices to improve the world's food supply and the lives of the farmers and the communities who produce it," Chief Sustainability Officer at Kellogg Company, Diane B. Holdorf. "In addition to financial support," she added. "We intend to fast track sustainable techniques into our contract growing programs as soon as 2012. We'll share the results with the Sustainable Rice Platform and use them to inform our global rice policies and direction."Fast factsThe Sustainable Rice Platform will set management standards for rice production that will ensure it is grown in an environmentally-sustainable and socially-responsible way;Poverty will reduce as farmers stand to gain by higher incomes through reduced input costs, higher production, and/or getting a premium on their rice;Consumers and processors purchasing rice grown on the Sustainable Rice Platform will be assured it is good for the environment and farmer welfare.

Established in 1972, UNEP's mission is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations. UNEP is an advocate, educator, catalyst and facilitator promoting the wise use of the planet's natural assets for sustainable development. It works with many partners, UN entities, international organizations, national governments, non-governmental organizations, business, industry, the media and civil society. UNEP's work involves providing support for: environmental assessment and reporting; legal and institutional strengthening and environmental policy development; sustainable use and management of natural resources; integration of economic development and environmental protection; and promoting public participation in environmental management.IRRI, or the International Rice Research Institute, is a non-profit independent research and training organization. IRRI is part of the Consultative Group on International Agriculture (CGIAR). IRRI's mission is to reduce poverty and hunger, improve the health of rice farmers and consumers, and ensure environmental sustainability through collaborative research, partnerships, and the strengthening of national agricultural research and extension systems.

The fat content of ground beef depends on the cut of meat it came from. Regular ground beef—made from less-expensive cuts—contains up to 30 percent fat. Moderately priced ground chuck contains just enough fat to give it flavor and make it juicy. The leanest (around 5 percent fat) is the most expensive and is made from round and sirloin cuts.
Of course you can use French-fried onions instead of the seasoned croutons!

- Preventing systemic absorption of the toxin which may be done with compressive dressings and immobilization of the bitten extremity.
- If signs of envenomation begin to occur, a constriction band to impede lymphatic flow should be placed on the extremity, proximal to the bite. Transport to a hospital should take place immediately.
- The site should be wiped off and cleaned. The use of field first-aid methods such as incision and suction, tourniquets, and cryotherapy has been associated with a threefold increase in the likelihood of the need for surgical intervention.
- Although popular belief has it that snakebites kill within minutes, in fact, the toxicity from snake venom usually does not even begin to affect the body for several hours. In one review, 64% of deaths from snakebite occurred between 6 and 48 hours after the patient was bitten.
I have never in my years of practice had to deal with a snake bite, but have a healthy fear of cotton mouths and copper heads. I know that snakes may be an important part of our environment, but I still don't like snakes.
Have a safe summer enjoying the outdoors!

Cash Cash :: The Jersey Boys of EDM
New Jersey is no stranger the music business when it comes to producing some of the biggest stars in the music industry; Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Count Basie, Jay-Z, and of course, the original Jersey Boys Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, to name a few.
With the major ascension of electronic dance music (EDM) in the past 10 years, it isn't surprising that New Jersey would be the birth home of some EDM superstars. That's right! Meet the Jersey Boys of EDM, Cash Cash consisting of brothers Jean Paul (JP) and Alex Makhlouf and best friend Sam Friseh, who are all now based out of New York.
As with most musical groups, Cash Cash went through some changes before things started to take off for the group. Formed in 2002 as a rock band playing under the name The Consequences, the band had three independent releases and an additional member, drummer Anthony Villacari, in the beginning.
It wasn't until 2008 when they changed their sound, their name and group roster to become a trio that Cash Cash started their flight toward the top of Mt. EDM. "Listening to Cash Cash is like popping open a bottle of pure unfiltered fun," wrote Ben Herbert of The Marketing Machine. It's that electrifying sound that got other artists to take notice of the group and get them to remix or produce their tracks. In addition to 5 EP or full music collections of their own, Cash Cash has remixed or produced for Cobra Starship ("Good Girls Go Bad" remix), Calvin Harris ("Let's Go" remix), Katy Perry ("Part of Me" remix), Lady Gaga ( "Marry the Night" remix), Bruno Mars ("Treasure" remix - #1 Hype Machine Chart), and EDM star groups Krewella ("Alive" remix and "Live for the Night" production) and Icona Pop ("All Night" remix - #1 Hype Machine Chart).
On the heels of successfully producing and co-writing the Krewella's "Live for the Night" from the #1 Billboard Dance/Electronic Album Chart collection "Get Wet," Cash Cash signed with electronic music label giant Atlantic/Big Beat Records and immediately started work on their current hit "Take Me Home" featuring Bebe Rexha (formerly of Black Card). Since it's July 16, 2013 worldwide release, "Take Me Home" has hit the top spot on Billboard's Dance Radio Chart. With the lead single from their 6-track EP "OVERTIME" earning them a massive amount of new fans, Cash Cash embarked on a national tour the second half of 2013 causing the trio to become masters at multitasking performance, songwriting, producing and remixing duties.
While catching a little break between all that Cash Cash does, JP chatted with me about the success of "Take Me Home," living out the dream of making music, the group's shared workload, performing with Krewella, and their new music with Christine Perri.
Their plan
BeBe: With the success of your club hit "Take Me Home" you have now been taken from being just remixers to a full-fledged EDM recording act on Big Beat Records. Was that always the development plan for you guys?
JP: Definitely. Doing music full time was always a dream of ours. Remixing has always been an important side of the group. It helps step up our game in a weird way. We've been producing, recording, mixing, & mastering all our own music since we started. The cool thing is over the last few years DJing has become an outlet for electronic producers to be heard, making the line between producer and artist very thin. With the right work ethic, you can easily be both.
It also helps that we are a trio. A lot of times two of us will fly out for shows while the third stays back in the studio working on a song or remix. We rotate a bunch to keep it fair (an evil laugh). It's great because we get double the work done and neither the show or studio is negatively affected. For example, last week Sam and I did a string of shows while Alex stayed in the studio to finish up this new remix we're doing for Hardwell (the #1 DJ atop of DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs poll). We are lucky to be a trio and can split up when we need to. Last month Sam and Alex did a string of West Coast shows while I stayed in LA to write with Christina Perri and some other writers. We rotate who goes depending on what needs to be done in the studio. We also do a lot of work on the road with our laptops but always need to finalize everything in a real studio.
Full-length CD?
BeBe: Your new "OVERTIME" EP contains songs, including "Take Me Home" which features Bebe Rexha, and songs that feature other guest vocalists. How are these songs introduced/performed on tour?
JP: We work them into our set like we would any other song. Sometimes if Bebe is around we'll have her come out and perform it, but the beauty behind EDM is that people are coming out to see the group not the feature. It's about the experience, the bass, the lights and the show versus the singer/performer. If people wanted to see someone sing/perform they would go to a pop concert. We're here to blow your fucking ears out and start a dance riot.
BeBe: I assume that the EP is just a prelude to a planned full-length album to come? Are you working on a full-length, and are there any guest artist details you can disclose?
JP: We've already started working on so much new music that we can't wait to finish up. We'll definitely do a full album at some point but we're not sure of any exact release plans yet. Maybe we'll do a single between the next release which could be an EP, full-length, or some kind of remix EP. We started this amazing song featuring Christina Perri this month that we're all really stoked on! Definitely one of my favorite new songs we've started working on. We also have a ton of other cool features lined up as well. It's going to be a fun year.
Halloween with Krewella
BeBe: Which vocalists are out there that you would kill to work with on a track?
JP: It would be awesome to work with fellow label mates Icona Pop or guys like John Martin ('Don't You Worry Child' with Swedish House Mafia) and Matthew Koma ('Spectrum' with Zedd, and Years with Alessio). Koma's voice is like no other. He has such a unique timbre and range that make his voice cut through like a knife! I also love the emotion from John Martin. There are so many amazing talented artists out there that it's hard to get specific. Florence (Welch) and Sia are another two that give me goose bumps every time I hear their voices.
BeBe: You spent Halloween night last year opening for Krewella at Pier 94 in New York. They have taken the EDM world by storm over the past 2 years, so what was it like to be a part of this show with them?
JP: Last Halloween was amazing! Krewella are good friends of ours. We felt privileged to share the stage with them. We first linked up with them last year when remixing "Alive." The remix did so well in the community that they were like, 'hey, we should do an actual song together!' So when they were in NYC we got together and hit it off really well which led us to produce and co-write "Live for The Night" with them. We definitely hope to collaborate more with them in 2014.
Rocks, paper, scissors
BeBe: How do the three of you divvy up the creative duties when it comes to writing your original material?
JP: Rocks, paper, scissors (laughs). We vote on things a lot. If we're torn with a certain creative decision, we usually go by majority rules and ¾ of the time the odd person out will agree with the other two after sitting with it for a bit. We work really well together. There are times when Alex and I are like the Oasis brothers, but Sam is always there to neutralize the situation. We all shine in certain areas so it really all depends on the song or remix. Overall we're lucky to always have someone around to bounce ideas off especially when one of us is going crazy over something.
BeBe: Your North American Tour has come to a close as we enter 2014, so now what are looking forward to?
JP: We are in the middle of solidifying a Las Vegas residency so we'll definitely be out there a ton along with lots of other shows here and overseas. You can expect a lot of new music and remixes as well. We're going even harder in 2014!
BeBe: Big Beat Records has such an impressive roster of electronic and dance music acts, do you worry about getting lost in the shuffle on your projects?
JP: Straight up, Big Beat Records is the best fucking label on the planet! We've been through majors and indies in the past and have never been happier on a label. They are a team of people that truly love what they do and it shows with their success. Not a day goes by that we ever feel lost or pushed aside. We're treated like priority from the ground up on a daily basis. Sometimes at 11 o'clock at night I'll hear from our A&R to talk about a mix change or remix. There's no clocking out at Big Beat, there's no 9 to 5 with them. It's 24/7 balls to the wall!
LGBT connection
BeBe: Dance and electronic music have a big place in the LGBT community's nightlife. Have you had any thoughts as to why your style of music is so appealing to our specific community?
JP: I mean it's a fact... gay people know how to start a party! All my gay/lesbian friends dance like motherfuckers and keep up with the hottest music. I think it has to do with letting go and EDM music is all about letting go, being different, forgetting the bullshit of the world, and just feeling the moment. I think feeling the bass run through your body and shake up your soul helps you do that. It makes you feel alive! We still live in a world that makes it hard for LGBT people to feel accepted and maybe Dance music can be another tool to help change that, or at least numb it for the night. I'm straight but can still somewhat relate to feeling boxed in or different. I felt that way all throughout school until I found success with music. It helped me fully let go, shut out the negativity that surrounded me, and find confidence in my passion.

Watch the video of Cash Cash's "Take Me Home":
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.
