The Demonstealer (May 2009)
The man from many bands, and the master of all trades. If there is one name in the Indian metal industry that everybody knows, it sure is that of The Demonstealer. He's as metal as metal can ever get! Headbangers India catches up with Sahil, a.k.a The Demonstealer for this exclusive interview:
HB: What made you choose a name like 'The Demonstealer'? Do you think having a stage name has helped you in the music business?
Sahil: I guess I'm doomed to answer this question forever 😛 so here goes. When I got into metal and decided to form a band of my own, I was listening to a lot of metal bands like Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, COF, Old Mans Child etc and most members of such bands had really cool stage names. So I decided I wanted to have one as well and being a LOTR virgin at the time and unfamiliar with European Mythology, the best name I could come up with was 'Demonstealer' and only because 'Demonslayer' was too cheesy. So, once I created an identity with the name, I decided to stick with it despite the jokes and wisecracks from people. I think the name has definitely helped in some way-
it's someone you will remember, maybe not always in a good way! But even today the name, the jokes and everything with it is still not getting old.
HB: We don't see The Demonstealer with the black metal- inspired face paint anymore. Why is that?
Sahil: Well, we did a few photo shoots with corpse paint only to realize we are not 6 feet tall, well
built Norwegian or Viking people. However, the realization dawned much after we used the photos
here and there and it was too late to get them back and burn them! At that time we were very young and we thought it was a cool thing to do, but we never played on stage with it. Later when Demonic Resurrection toyed with the idea again when we reformed in 2003, I just said no because it didn't make sense as it didn't go with the style and direction our music was taking. However, if I ever formed a black metal band like Marduk I'd consider it.
HB: Being a part of three bands and one solo project is a lot of hard work. How do you manage to juggle all of that? Is music a fulltime occupation for you, or do you also have a regular job outside the realm of The Demonstealer?
Sahil: I do have a regular day job- I work with Furtados Music as their Artist Relations & Events
manager and also product specialist. Along with that I also run Demonstealer Records.
So, the above jobs plus music is a bit of a challenge but I've figured out how to divide my
time efficiently. Essentially, its only two projects- Demonic Resurrection and Workshop which
are live bands… So they are my main focus and occasionally when I get free I work on my
solo stuff and Reptilian Death.
HB: Playing music in uniforms! That's pretty innovative. Tell us about Workshop…
Sahil: Workshop, to begin with, was a pretty unconventional project being that it had a humour element not really done before by a metal band. So when we decided to seriously pursue the band, I felt it just made sense to compliment our music and stage act with a costume. And given that the band itself is called 'Workshop,' a boiler suit was the most apt attire for the band. The helmets are an added bonus and for safety reasons.
HB: We're not going to ask you about who won, but still… Tell us about the entire Launch Pad experience.
Sahil: Well, I can't tell you who won because the finals are on May 6th! But the whole experience
was awesome! It was an amazing week spending time with 7 bands in a house and we had a blast at the event. I've written a detailed blog about the experience so those who want a full blow by blow account can read it up on http://demonstealer.blogspot.com
HB: Do you think 'good' music, particularly a genre like metal, has a chance to survive in that commercial arena?
Sahil: Metal has always survived and will continue to do so. In fact, because metal is one style of music that has always been carried forward by live performances, it's definitely going to keep surviving. I think it all comes down to how the music is supported and frankly metal is raking in the moolah these days. Maybe not so much in India but abroad, definitely. Also something to think about is that many people love metal because it's not mainstream. I wonder if a Pig Destroyer fan will still like the band as much if they sell a million records and if every Tom, Dick and Harry is listening to the band and is a fan of it. There is a good chance that he would forget them and move on to the next obscure band which deserves his attention. It's complicated psychology if you ask me!
HB: Now let's hear something about your solo project- The Demonstealer…
Sahil: It was my birthday so I said Happy Birthday to me and released an album! Hahaha! But honestly, I started as a solo artist before Demonic Resurrection was born and I did the occasional single here and there over the last few years and even with Reptilian Death it was pretty much me writing all the music. So, last year in 2008 I said I've got so many songs here and there its time I released something concrete. And so, I did everything that I wanted to do which was not Demonic Resurrection material. Basically, my solo project will always be there for music styles that I can't explore with my bands.
HB: How has the response to your appearance in Global Metal been? Have you made any international contacts? Any plans to take your music outside India?
Sahil: Ever since I started in 2000, I've been making international contacts which have allowed me to
get my music out to parts of the world which would not be possible otherwise. Honestly, while we've got great responses to being in Global Metal there has been no impact to the band like tour offers, record deals or anything. Definitely more MySpace page hits but that's about it. About taking our music outside- I've been spreading the music through Demonstealer Records as much as possible and once we release the new album, we are going to be working very hard to make sure we have an international tour and play a few festivals. Hopefully they will all work out.
HB: The Demonstealer is known for his outstanding contribution to the Indian metal scene, whether its music or even the record company. Anything else planned for the near future?
Sahil: This year, with the label there are a few releases planned along with doing a few launch gigs
for each release. Hopefully we can expand and do these gigs in other cities as well. We're also working on improving our distribution and basically making sure we have a better network. Workshop and Demonic Resurrection are both releasing albums this year and I will also try and
do a new Reptilian Death EP and Demonstealer album if time permits… but am not sure just yet.
Will also try and play as many shows as possible with both bands. Demonic Resurrection has already hit places like Dhanbad, Anand, Silchar and Jalandhar and we hope to play many more cities this year.
HB: Concluding inspirational lines from The Demonstealer to metalheads across India would be…
Sahil: Each and every metal head makes the Indian metal scene a success or failure. So the scene doesn't lie in the bands or just the bands and musicians… it's all about you guys supporting the music they make. So Cheers & Stay Demonic!

Two things help. First, give the belt a twist before sticking it into the latch. That keeps it from loosening up across your waist. Second, use the memory seat settings. One programmed back a ways to make it easy to get in/out. The second one is your favorite driving position. Then, get in the car and recline the seat back a little. Put on your seat belt (with a twist before latching). Give a quick pull to the shoulder belt to latch the inertial lock. Now, hit the memory position to return the seat to normal driving position. You'll be pressed slightly into the seat, with a locked seat belt holding you from sliding around. Chris

I've heard some folks say that intention is everything. That what you bring to a situation is what will come of it. I believe it to be true. When I feel conscious and intentional about the conversation I'm having, who I want to be in it, and what I want to come of it, it seldom fails to fulfill my expectations. But it doesn't always work out this way, does it?
In 2015, I did a lot of things for the very first time ever, some with great intention and some reactive to what I was faced with. I'm fortunate to have a council of wise people around me to help me navigate the terrain I've not yet traversed. It helps me to feel more confident when I have the wisdom of others who have gone before me. Another helpful tool is calling on the wisdom from deep within, which lies behind all of the ideas which make good sense in the front portion of our minds-that little whisper which always tells the truth about the thing in question which we sometimes don't listen to.
What I'm looking forward to this year is being able to tune into those whispers and LISTEN to what is behind the loudest promptings. The quieter bits are worth hearing, too. Have you ever found yourself saying, "That's the last time I don't listen to my gut," or "I should have listened to my gut" ?
What is it about our guts that are always so much more truthful than our minds? The enteric nervous system (ENT) was once thought to just control digestion. Recent studies reveal that it's composed of 500 million neurons and is able to perceive threats and send messages to the brain, but isn't considered "thinking" as we are accustomed to knowing as the brain's domain.
If this is true, it's evidence that we don't just legislate our actions by thinking them through, that we have legitimate reason for involving our bodies. When we override the body's influence, we know it. We know it sharp and sudden, and often regret that we didn't take a more integrative listening approach.
From a medicine perspective, to honor the body's knowing, as well as considering what we think about a thing-engaging our higher mind, and taking it a step further-calling in outside influences (like we do in prayer and meditation) is to offer ourselves the opportunity to have the full council weigh in. A phrase that makes the rounds is, "Pray on it. See what you think then." The gift is in allowing aspects of oneself other than just the mind to make decisions.
As we learn to move from our emotions and bodies- the parts of us which remind us we are of the Earth- we honor our innate animal-like qualities of instinct. If we can lean further in and learn to override the informants fear, trauma and past experience, we can hear the whispering voice behind the second level of listening.
This little quiet one is very, very old.
Hers is the voice of who we once were. And still are.

The up-and-coming Farmers Market District is known for its array of shops, bar and dining options and the historic OKC Farmers Public Market building. The area's focal point was once Delmar Gardens amusement park, the 40-acre, boardwalk-lined home to horse races, a water slide, a dance pavilion, a baseball park, a penny arcade, a swimming pool, a zoo, a beer garden, a trolley and more.
Jody McAnally and her husband Burt purchased six acres from John E. Harden, grandson of the original OKC Farmers Public Market owner, for $850,000 in 2002.
District evolution
Photographs taken during Delmar Gardens amusement park's heyday from 1902 to 1910 depict men wearing suits, hats and ties accompanying women in Victorian dress and enjoying boating on the nearby North Canadian River.
The district featured amusement rides, including a wooden roller coaster, and a 3,000-seat theater that drew the day's top names, including stage and film star Lon Chaney Sr. and screen cowboy Tom Mix.
The venue flourished for years, but by 1910, the prohibition that arrived with statehood, along with seasonal flooding and the inevitable arrival of mosquito swarms, conspired to diminish the venue's popularity.
The waterway — renamed the Oklahoma River in 2004 — was eventually transformed into a 7-mile stretch of river lakes, trails and parks.
Years later, local resident John J. Harden invested $500,000 to help build 40,000-square-foot Oklahoma City Farmers Public Market, 311 S. Klein Ave., at the former amusement park location. It opened in 1928 and centralized merchants of all kinds, including farmers selling fresh produce. The venue's first floor soon hosted a meat market, a bakery, a candy shop, a grocery store, a drugstore and a cafe. Upstairs, the venue brought in performing greats of the day, such as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Hank Williams, Little Jimmy Dickens, Hank Thompson and Jim Reeves.
Urban sprawl of the 1970s pulled traffic from downtown, including the west-end district. Even so, the venue's Antique Mall opened the following year and grew into the state's largest shop of its kind through the mid-'80s. It still operates Tuesday through Sunday at the same location.
In 2002, the McAnallys purchased the building and the six acres it sits on and invested millions more in renovations. Today, OKC Farmers Public Market again welcomes a popular farmers market, and vendors sell fresh, locally sourced goods to customers from across the region.
Upstairs, 14,000 square feet of maple dance floor was refurbished, too, and welcomes concerts, parties, special events and more.
Building community
Surrounding the Farmers Market District's centerpiece are Power House bar and farm-to-table eatery, Urban Agrarian local food market and wholesale distributor, Rewind Pub, The Loaded Bowl vegan restaurant, Pam's Plants and Produce, Oklahoma Food Cooperative, Silo creativity boutique and more.
The McAnallys also are managing members of Delmar Gardens Food Truck Park, which recently launched for the season at 1225 SW Second St.
The district now draws crowds like it did decades ago, said Jody McAnally, and the park also hosts an eclectic collection of eateries and special events, including farm-to-table dinners presented by Urban Agrarian.
"Food truck parks are an integral gathering place, and most of the larger cities have really good ones," she said. "We're going to bring the area back to its original history as a food hub. It's a natural extension of what we do, plus the addition is a nice homage to the history of the area."
Urban Agrarian founder Matthew Burch has operated his Farmers Market District shop since 2008. He recently scaled back his business and operating hours after last year's turbulent sales year. It's still open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. daily. Additionally, Burch said he and his employees still deliver nut mixes, probiotic foods, dairy, produce and meats to Oklahoma City Thunder, Dodgers and Blue sports teams via A Good Egg Dining Group's Sports Nutrition division.
His business also regularly hosts booths at metro area farmers market events.
Burch and district business leaders get together often to discuss options and pitch calendar ideas. He said he's excited that Andrea Koester, OKC Farmers Public Market marketing coordinator, is organizing Delmar Sunday Market events, which run 10 a.m.-2 p.m. each Sunday beginning May 7, in the district.
"I love the work, the offerings and the customers," Burch said. "Andrea used to help me organize our farm-to-table dinners, and I'm happy she's organizing the Sunday market."
Delmar Sunday Market events will feature family-friendly offerings, including food demonstrations and a youth activity booth. Koester said downtown needs the district and its farmers markets because the neighborhoods that surround it lack options for locally sourced, fresh food.
"It's a food desert over there," Koester said. "We are working with Oklahoma Child Nutrition Services and the Oklahoma Department of Human Services' Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help low-income families purchase nutritious food from authorized stores like ours."
Delmar Gardens Food Truck Park Fourth Friday runs 6-9 p.m. April 28 and return each month through October, said Fourth Friday marketing coordinator Kerry Myers. The events offer pop-up shops, children's games, live music and more at Delmar Gardens Food Truck Park.
She hopes the monthly events help establish the venue as "one of the go-to destinations in Oklahoma City."

Can you feel it? There's something in the air that's new, yet somewhat familiar. A feeling of excitement and anticipation, something that has a common positive theme among water coolers, restaurants and bars throughout our fair burg.
Welcome back to the playoffs, Cowboys fans. Yes, this is what it is like to again have a dog in the hunt.
There's simply nothing like it. I noticed it just before Christmas, about the time that the Cowboys took out the Eagles in Philadelphia, putting themselves in the drivers seat for the NFC East. That Monday morning, I noticed a few more Cowboys car flags out on the roads. I dropped by a local sporting goods store and spotted a lot (not just a few) people in line with Cowboys gear to place under the tree.
Even my kids got into the act. I haven't had a new Cowboys hat in over 10 years. My rug rats knew it would be the perfect gift, also giving my wife a new T-shirt with the iconic star on it. They were right.
That's what happens when the Cowboys are not just in the post-season, but have a decent chance to make some noise in January.
It's somewhat of a shame that Dallas went 12-4 yet did not qualify for a bye this post-season. That's how good the NFC is this year. The road to the Super Bowl begins at home this Sunday vs. Detroit but most likely heads to Lambeau Field and eventually Seattle, if the Cowboys are fortunate enough to win those games.
Dallas certainly knows how to win on the road, going 8-0 away from AT&T Stadium. Only five other teams have done that since 1978 when the 16-game schedule was implemented. Four of those teams made it to the Super Bowl; two of them won it.
First thing's first though. Time to win a home playoff game. Detroit is beatable. Well, anyone is actually beatable for this Cowboys team, which is peaking at the right time. The Lions' defense is salty and could prove to be a thorn in Tony Romo's side (or calf, should Ndamukong Suh not get suspended for the game after "accidentally" stepping on Aaron Rodgers in yesterday's game).
What's scary is that several NFL analysts have picked the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl this year. It's been 19 years since Dallas last won the big one, longer than the gap that separated the dynasties of the late 70s and early 90s. This city hasn't forgotten though, that is for sure.
Yes, it's Monday of game week once again. But this game week is much different because this week's contest will be played in January. And this place is fired up.
I'd encourage all of you to go out and get a new Cowboys cap or shirt this week, but my kids may have grabbed the last one. OK, not really, but I like my new hat very much. Mainly because it's from my son and daughter, who all of a sudden have a bigger interest in watching DeMarco Murray run and Tony Romo throw. And I realized that they've never seen the Cowboys when they were good.
Whether you remember those times or are experiencing Dallas Cowboys success for the first time, I have a question for you.
Can you feel it? By the increase in numbers of blue stars I have seen on cars, hats and shirts over the past two weeks, I'd say yes.

I actually coined a new word to describe ugly faux brick: fauxgly. Lest I offend someone, let me just say that not all faux brick is ugly. When done right it can be very attractive. Mine was not done right.

PHILADELPHIA — The autopsy finding was sudden, simple, stark: Cocaine killed Len Bias.
There was no heart problem that had gone undetected. There was nothing like that, nothing capricious or inexplicable. There was only the finding that no one wanted, the finding that will guarantee a final, extended examination of the life and death of the former Maryland basketball star.

KARACHI: In a scathing attack, Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) head and former Karachi mayor Mustafa Kamal called for the federal government to place Ishratul Ebad on exit-control list (ECL), claiming Sindh Governor was a criminal.
"This is my request and demand that this man is a criminal. This man has caused a lot of damage to this country over the past 13 years," Kamal told the media persons.
"He has played with people's lives and ruined many generations," he said. "I demand Ishratul Ebad be arrested immediately and his name put on ECL," he said.

As the old saying goes "No situation can't be made worse by guilt." Guilt occasionally gets piled on patients – by others or by themselves – for having gotten cancer or some other evil because they didn't have the right (positive) mind set.
Last week in Thursday Thoughts #30 I examined the effects of negative affect. I reported on a clinical trial with 230 patients that filled out a mood questionnaire before going to the operating room for invasive image-guided procedures such as angioplasties or kidney drainages. Those who had high negative affect fared worse than those with low negative affect. They had significantly more adverse events in terms of unstable blood pressure and breathing than those who scored low on negative affcet. Based on this data, one could deduce that extra positive attitude would be a great thing. But is it?
Research on positive affect and outlook is more complicated than might appear at first sight. For assessment, many studies use the PANAS – the Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule [1]. It is brief questionnaire. Patients are asked to rank 10 questions reflecting negative affect and 10 questions reflecting positive affect on a 1-5 scale with "1 = Very slightly/Not at All" to "5 = Extremely." The questions rating positive affect address feelings of being interested, excited, strong, enthusiastic, proud, alert, inspired, determined, attentive, and active.
In the same study in which we looked at the negative affect, we also examined the effect of positive affect with the PANAS. Surprisingly, a high positive affect didn't do patients any good in terms of adverse events.
What complicates things is that the PANAS considers negative and positive affect as independent from each other. Positive affect elements reflect motivating goal-directed behaviors geared towards actively doing something with one's feelings [2]. Negative affect features are described more as the reflecting, apprehensive, vigilant type. They include sentiments such as feeling distressed, upset, guilty, scared, hostile, irritable, ashamed, nervous, jittery, and/or afraid. There can be people having combinations of high negative and high positive affect at the same time. For example, someone can be full of hostility and be very enthusiastic about expressing it. In our patient sample, 57% of patients who had high positive affect also had high negative affect. One can safely conclude that negative affect overrides the benefits of the positive affect, at least in the procedure room.
A meta-analysis of prospective studies showed positive affect associated with reduced mortality in the long-run. This held true mainly for healthy populations at the start of the observation period; less so for populations who were already sick [3]. There also is concern about publication bias, implying that studies finding a positive association may be more likely to be published [3, 4]. Another study then showed that after controlling for the effect of negative affect, physical health mainly influenced subsequent positive affect, but positive affect did not influence subsequent physical health [5]. In plain words: the odds of feeling positive are greater when one is healthy than when one is sick, and positive thoughts alone do not determine future health.
The bottom line is this: There is no need to make yourself feel guilty if you don't engage in your medical experiences with unbridled enthusiasm. The key is not to be negative or hostile. That can kill you if you are unlucky and your medical team cannot handle your impaired processing of physical and environmental stimuli.
There is, however, good news from the study. You can reduce the risk of your negative emotions when you are treated by a procedure team trained in Comfort Talk® techniques. You can also check out our free Comfort Talk® app before you have your next procedure and reframe your mind set when you need it.

But to be honest, that is NOT true AT ALL. Kennen is actually quite powerful with right build, and this build works, atleast for me.
As far as I've thought, Cooldown is crucial for Kennen. Thus I have chosen Cooldown runes. This, of course, is not necessary, as you can choose other runes, or if you don't have these runes.
For masteries I did 9/2/19 for Kennen, since Utility gives him even MORE Cooldown, which, in my opinion, is as I said crucial. Also the reduced cooldown of Flash is useful, a little bit of extra gold doesnt hurt, reduced being-dead time and of course, the prolonged buffs from neutral monsters. Preservation, on the other hand, gives 400 health bonus when using Revive, which really is needed for Kennen.
I ALWAYS get Hextech Gunblade first. It's active does nice damage,slows enemies, allowing you to kill them easier, or to run away. It also gives Life Steal and Spell Vamp, which help ALOT later ingame.
Second I get Ionian Boots of Lucidity, which have reduced cooldown.
Third I get Rabadon's Deathcap for more Ability power and the +30% Ability power.
As for Will of the Ancients, I took it because of its passive aura. As it gives a total of 80 AP and 25% Spell Vamp to me, it also gives 30 AP and 25% Spell vamp to nearby allied champions,which might just give the edge needed to win team fights.
Fifth I took Lich Bane,which gives +100% Ability power to normal attack after using an ability. this really can hit alot,especialy with over 600 ability power. Oh, and It also gives Ability Power too!.
And last,but surely not least I took Rylai's Crystal Scepter, because of its slowing effect, and a little extra HP too. But Abyssal Scepter is good aswell because of its Magic resistance and its Aura,which reduces enemies Magic resistance by 20, but I prefer Rylai's over Abyssal most of the time.
Skill Sequence
As far as I've thought, the first spell to fight on a lane against another champion, is Thundering Shuriken, as it can deal nice amount of damage and leaves Mark of Storm . As for Lightning Rush, I usualy use it to visit the enemies minions and run back, which also hits nicely and leaves Mark of storm to every enemy it hits, which is good since you can just use Electrical Surge to finish it. This tactic is great for farming minions at lower level and to kill loads of them within a few seconds at higher level. Get Slicing Maelstorm at level 6, since you can use it against champions that try to attack you. Slicing Maelstorm also stuns enemies, which can be VERY useful at lower level near a friendly turret, since turret can attack the enemy champion.
Summoner Spells
As for the spells, I chose Flash to get away from enemies, or even better, teleport near or in middle of them! This allows you to use Kennen's Ulti to the maxium potential,since enemies dont have the chance to run away. But be careful! you never know if you get killed before that,so be sure to survive, survive rather than die, right?
I chose Revive because it becomes really useful when people are level 15 and over. It also gives 400 Extra Health, because of the Preservation on Defense. Also thanks to the Cooldown reduction, you can make full use of the speed buff that revive gives. Just use Lightning rush Twice in a row and you will be near middle of the map in just a few seconds!
So, to all of you who like to play Kennen, this is a build I use and suggest. Also to those who think Kennen is weak? You wish! He is, infact really strong in the right hands and with the right items.

I LOVE printer's trays!
Oh how I love printer's trays! Have you tried them? Several companies make them and they are easy to find. The price varies depending on if you want them 'raw' or finished, large or small...name brand or generic. I have tried the unfinished ones to save some money but really, I find that I prefer the ones that are already painted. I just like the effect so much more and, let's be honest, it saves some time. This printer's tray is my all time favorite. I've made quite a few but this one just does it for me. It's currently hanging on my scrapbook room wall and it makes me smile every time I walk in the door. I chose to print all of the photos in black and white, and then add subtle pastel colors from the Maggie Holmes/Crate Paper Open Book collection. That collection made me crazy! In a good way, I mean, lol! I bought ALL of it and I talked about it so much that two of my friends bought me nearly every bit of it as well so I had it in triplicate. I don't mind telling you, it's almost all gone. The paper is long gone, I have a couple stickers and a few of those embellies left and that's it. I saved every little tiny scrap...I kid you not when I say that I used the heck out of it like no other collection I've ever had. Anyway, the printer's tray has chipboard, card stock and vellum pieces all throughout the tray. I wanted the edges of the frame to have a little interest so I added gold striped washi here and there. I have tags, twine and a little metal as well. I'm itching to make another one soon.
What types of projects do you like to do the best? Let's say...OTHER THAN scrap booking? Let me know in the comments!
Have a great day!

Running a business is challenging. Finding and hiring assistants or employees can also be a frustrating endeavor. To make matters worse, there's never enough time in any given day to get everything done. For those who own their own business or company, whether home-based or office-based, there is no such luxury of being 'done'.
Many consider hiring a secretary for the office, if the space is available and your income is such that you can afford to hire one. However, many employers cringe at the thought of retirement packages that must be negotiated and arrangements made for holidays and time off, including sick days.
However, in recent years, outsourcing has grown increasingly popular. That's where today's Virtual Assistants come in. There are many kinds of Virtual Assistants out there. Some virtual assistants gear their skills toward a certain profession, while still others are literal 'Virtual Girl Friday's' who can strut their stuff through a vast array of skills that include proficiency with various computer programs such as Word, Excel and Power Point, running the financial side of a business office and transcribing notes, taped or video meetings into hard copy documents.
The most common tasks for Virtual Assistants these days include, but are not limited to the following skills:
- Internet Research – A good virtual assistant can help you and your business stay on top of current trends, or spend the hours necessary to research events, information or project planning tasks that you don't have the time for.
- Record Keeping – Hate to balance your books or track your marketing or promotional endeavors and budgets? Hire a Virtual Assistant to do it for you.
- Making Travel and Speaking Engagement Arrangements – enough said.
- Managing databases and email correspondence and campaigns – ditto above.
- Phoning, Faxing, Communicating – Sure, you want to stay in touch with your customers and clients, but let's face it – sometimes, there just isn't enough time in the day to do it all.
Virtual assistants offer a variety of skills tailored to particular fields or professions. They also offer the benefit of savings, as you pay them to do only what you want them to, per job, or if you so choose, per month, for specific duties that range from providing transcripts from business meetings and interviews to creating and maintaining document files. They provide word processing services as well as support for overflow work.
The best thing about Virtual Assistants is that they are available at the click of a mouse. They're there when you need them to provide research and secretarial support.
Make a list of all the things you dislike having to tackle in your job, and chances are there's a way to outsource that list. With today's demands on quality and skilled professionals, you should be saving your best for what you do best, whether you're a self-employed business owner or run a busy office in a large downtown building. You need to focus on your priorities, which means your customers or your projects. Let someone else do all the rest.

Our very last day in Tibet!
Tibet Tong La Travel Blog› entry 24 of 24 › view all entries
Our very last day in Tibet.
We are a little sad to leave this beautiful county with so much nice people. The only things I will definitely NOT miss are the Tibetan toilet facilities and the Tibetan food. At breakfast this morning an Australian group shares some of their cheese with us. It was delicious!!
Our last stop is on the Tong-La (5.120m). The views are just superb: a last glance at Mont Everest and Cho Oyu with prayer flags waving in the wind. This is truly a stunning place!
The last town in Tibet, just before the border with Nepal, is Zhangmu. Because of the elevation of only 2.300m it's a totally other world: it looks almost subtropical with lush trees and a humid feel to it (especially when comparing to the dry climate of Tibet). Zhangmu is a busy town with roads filled with trucks, busses and travelers on foot, this makes traveling through it difficult. It takes some time before we are at the bridge, the border between Tibet and Nepal. Here we say goodbye to our companions for the last 2 weeks, Dorje en Pardo, hoist our backpacks on and walk over the bridge to Nepal.

Twitter is often the go-to platform for finding not only the funniest jokes, but also to seek confirmation of your thoughts and the suspected thoughts of your neighbours. With a great amount of the British population (minus Scotland) eagerly watching every match, and the baffling deciphering of who plays who next, you can always rely on Twitter to deliver quick-witted quips.
Pointing out the obvious but he has got a point...

Ronaldo has had a tough tournament with a number of missed shots throughout and vitally missing a penalty during this match.

Four Swiss players had their shirts ripped during the game, including Arsenal's Granit Xhaka ripping his twice.

Keeping it topical, Twitter mocked England's Jordan Henderson's inability to make a cross in the box.

Made in reference to England, rather than Slovakia, and the team's failure to score despite plenty of effort.

Another reference to the EU Referendum result with a classic pun on Raheem Sterling's surname.
Everyone worrying about the #Brexit effect on sterling, in fairness he should have been dropped after the #ENGRUS match— Marcus Swan (@mrcs1) June 24, 2016
Despite the mixed feelings on the result of the EU Referendum, it did provide an extra piece to the variety of football jokes.
Fed up with events? Overwhelmed by the amount of things happening the last couple of days? You need #CROPOR where not one thing has happened— David Schneider (@davidschneider) June 25, 2016
The game was generally recieved on Twitter as being extremely boring with Portugal finally scoring in the 117th minute of extra time.
This is like watching two guys holding a door open for each other and insisting that the other person goes first. #CROPOR— Check pinned tweet (@Datoism) June 25, 2016
Mocking the Vote Leave bus' slogan of the £350 million a week sent to the EU being better spent elsewhere, Twitter makes an ingenious suggestion of where it could go...
Don't panic folks with £350 million a week... We can buy ourselves a proper football team! #eng #engice— Tony Dibbin (@tonydibbin) June 27, 2016
Ah, when will those Brexit jokes stop... A reference to a number of the UK googling "What is the EU" after voting had closed in the referendum.
English players googling "What is football" right now. #ENGICE— Eva von Schaper (@EvavonSchaper) June 27, 2016
In the final 10 minutes of the game, a pitch invader sprinted towards Ronaldo. On television screens it seemed as though the culprit was half-naked, but it turned out to be an unfortunately coloured pair of shorts.
This match is so boring I reckon that pitch invader was just looking for the nearest exit. #POLPOR— Ian Hyland (@HylandIan) June 30, 2016
Losing to the underdogs, Wales, Fellaini failed to deliver the crucial goals Belgium so hoped for.
Fellaini couldn't score a musical with Tim Rice. #WALBEL— Stephen Mangan (@StephenMangan) July 1, 2016
Brought on especially in the last few minutes of extra time to take part in the penalties, Zaza spectaculy missed and became the laughing-stock of Twitter. One tweet just isn't enough.
So that's where Zaza got the inspiration for his penalty from: https://t.co/UfN4yVdT1S— Coral (@Coral) July 2, 2016

With one quarter-final game left (France v Iceland) before the semi-finals and the eagerly-anticipated final on the 10th July, there is still plenty of time for Twitter to get their finest comical comments in.
What do you think? Have your say in the comments below.

SEATTLE — Republican James Watkins has conceded in the state auditor race and says it doesn't appear he has a chance of defeating Democrat Troy Kelley.
Watkins, a business development consultant, says he wishes Kelley well in filling the vacuum left by longtime auditor Brian Sontag, who is retiring.
With thousands of votes yet to count, Kelley, a state representative from Tacoma, is leading 52 to 48 percent.
Both Kelley and Watkins have a range of experience in the private and public sectors. Watkins ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2010. Kelley was first elected to the Legislature in 2006.

For the first week of this new column the last thing I wanted to do was make a predictable choice for EPL player of the week, but it was impossible to ignore another brilliant performance by a supremely gifted player. A 1-4 defeat was harsh on a Swansea team who played some nice football, but Robin van Persie was the difference between the two sides.
So what makes Robin so super? For a start, his game on Saturday showed just how adept he is at holding the ball up. He is not a physically intimidating striker, in the mould of Didier Drogba or Christian Benteke, but his constant movement, technique and footballing brain means that he is able to receive the ball in space, hold off his markers and bring teammates into play. In the early stages, when Swansea were dominating possession, this ability was key for United in order to take a foothold in the game. van Persie dropping deep and picking up the ball, and his continual pivoting and turning away from trouble, meant that Ashley Williams and Chico were frequently unable to win the ball back cheaply from him. Despite playing up top alone, with a sea of defenders around him, he was able complete an impressive 88% of his passes.
But his hold-up play is not his most prized asset, indeed his elusiveness in the area and his finishing ability is what makes him arguably the world's greatest striker at this moment. In the oppositions penalty box he never stops moving; going forwards, backtracking, attacking the ball, dropping off; all of these actions keeps defenders guessing and often results in them losing the Dutchman when they should be marking him. This means he almost always has opportunities to score in a game, and here was no difference as he attempted seven shots. His first effort was in the 15th minute when he backtracked and ghosted away from Williams to meet Patrice Evra's cross, but was unable to get sufficient power on his header to beat Michel Vorm. In the 36th minute Swansea did pay the price for not picking up the forward, his stop start movement again meant that he was able to escape Williams and win a header. This drew Ben Davies in from left back to try and cover him, allowing an unmarked Antonia Valencia to square for Danny Welbeck to score.
As well as playing a part in the second goal, he scored his 33rd and 34th goals for United with some typical clinical finishing. For his first goal, despite having two centre-backs to deal with, he again found space by playing on the shoulder of the defender. Ryan Giggs's deflected through ball left him with a lot to do, but he concentrated well amongst a posse of defenders to control with his chest and finish excellently with an acrobatic kick. In the 72nd minute he killed off the game with his second goal to make it 3-0, once again evading the two centre backs before rocketing the ball into the top corner from the edge of the area, having been aided by smart runs from Welbeck and Wayne Rooney.
Robin van Persie is a striker who has it all. Not only is he dangerous when his team has the ball, but is also useful when his team are not in possession. Examples of this being him tracking back to pressure midfielder José Cañas in the 72nd minute, and chasing a long David De Gea punt forward into the far left corner of the pitch in the 76th minute, forcing Chico into a mistake. Such contributions don't show up in stats, but make all the difference on the pitch.Unbelievably his stat sheet may have been even glossier had Giggs and Evra made the most of potential goal-scoring opportunities awarded to them by van Persie; but regardless of this, the Dutchman showed that both he and Manchester United will not be giving up their EPL crown easily this season.

Bethany Hamilton is the most widely recognized surfer in the world.
It's crazy, but it makes sense. The girl who lost her arm to a hungry Tiger Shark has had movies, books, and countless articles written about her. She overcame loss of limb to become one of the greatest female surfers of all time, handicapped or not. Through that, she has become one of the most prolific surfers the world has ever known.
Jimmy "Ulu Boi" Napeahi was also attacked by a shark, but his story isn't as widely known. Maybe it's because he didn't lose an appendage or perhaps it's because he's not an adorable blonde girl. Either way, Ulu Boi's story deserves to be heard. That's why Ulu and and Etienne Aurelius created ULUALOHA, to share some insight into the life of the young Hawaiian.
After his near-fatal incident two years ago, Ulu Boi has made a serious dent out at Pipeline. Now considered a legitimate force in the lineup, he gets great waves on a regular basis. He is already well down the path of achieving his lifelong dream of becoming a pro surfer. We wish him the best in the rest of his career.

Ireland forwards coach Gert Smal is set to be fit for next month's three Test tour of New Zealand after illness had seriously affected his eyesight, preventing his participation at the Six Nations.
Anthony Foley filled in for Smal at the time and it was feared the 50 year-old would not have recovered sufficiently in time for the tour of the Antipodes. Those fears have been allayed this week however, with Smal understood to have made a full recovery at this stage.
Ireland have a warm-up match with the Barbarians in Gloucester on 29th May and this weekend's RaboDirect Pro12 semi-finals involving Munster and Leinster will have a significant bearing on the squad selected for that encounter.
If both provinces progress to the Pro12 final on 26th May, the squad for Gloucester is likely to be made up mainly of Connacht and Ulster players, many of whom will not travel to New Zealand.
Head coach Declan Kidney will name the squad for New Zealand during the week after the Ulster v Leinster Heineken Cup final (which takes place on 19th May) with it expected that as many as 30 may travel.

text: Due to watching cooking shows daily, I've started baking again. I used to baked brownies and cupcakes before but because of procastination, I always set it aside even though I have all the ingredients and materials I need. So last weekend, I've started baking again and I baked my favorite brownies. Thankfully, it was delicious and it passed my sister's taste because she's the chef in our family. And of course, it also passed my mom's taste 🙂 I'm thinking of baking croissant which is one of my favorite pastries, but I think I'll have a go with a regular bread first. 😛

All NSAIDS Have Cardiovascular Risks— But Are Some Better Than Others?
This question has been debated by many clinicians without a clear resolution. This leaves patients wondering and asking, are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) safe or not?
In the United States, an estimated 5% of all visits to a physician are related to prescription anti-inflammatories, and they are among the most commonly used medications.
Regulatory agencies early on pointed to cardiovascular signs associated with NSAID use, but these concerns were based mainly on observational evidence. Data from recent studies provide evidence of what was already suspected— none of the NSAIDs currently available should be considered "safe," especially for anyone who has high cardiovascular risks.
New Evidence Emerges
A new study funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation provides a comprehensive analysis of all randomized controlled trials of NSAIDs. Earlier metaanalyses were unable to resolve the debate over risk because they failed to include all randomized evidence in 1 study. This new meta-analysis, published by BMJ online on January 11, 2011, includes all available evidence.
Selected Study Highlights
The meta-analysis encompassed 31 trials and 116,429 patients taking naproxen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, celecoxib, rofecoxib, etoricoxib, lumiracoxib, acetaminophen, or placebo. Only drugs that are or were available in the United States are included in this column (Table).
• Celecoxib was the most studied NSAID (15 trials), and ibuprofen was the least studied (2 trials).
• The primary study outcome was myocardial infarction. Researchers also examined rates of stroke, cardiovascular death, and all-cause mortality.
• Trials focusing on patients with cancer were excluded from the current analysis. All included research had at least 100 patient years of follow-up.
• Compared with placebo, rofecoxib was associated with a significantly higher risk for myocardial infarction. Meanwhile, ibuprofen and celecoxib demonstrated a trend toward increasing the risk for myocardial infarction.
• All NSAIDs were associated with some increased risk for stroke. Ibuprofen and diclofenac were associated with significant increases in stroke risk.
• All NSAIDs except naproxen demonstrated some increase in the risk for cardiovascular death. Diclofenac was associated with statistically significant increase in the risk for cardiovascular death.
• Naproxen and diclofenac did not appear to significantly affect the risk for myocardial infarction.
• NSAIDs were associated with a 24% higher rate of clinical response vs acetaminophen, but were also 35% more likely to promote gastrointestinal discomfort. Some patients required a proton pump inhibitor concurrently to protect the stomach.
Evaluating Risk
The researchers indicated that an increase in myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death in studied patients suggests the lack of a clear association between specificity of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors and cardiovascular risk, which implies that other mechanisms are likely responsible. Multiple effects most probably contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular events. The most commonly proposed hypothesis is an imbalance between prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 synthesis that leads to an increased risk for thrombosis.
In an interesting twist, investigators found no clear relation between specificity of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors and risk for cardiovascular events. This contrasts with previous claims that increased selectivity for cyclooxygnease-2 inhibitors is associated with cardiovascular risk.
Final Thought
Of all the NSAIDs, naproxen seemed least harmful in this study. The finding is in agreement with recommendations made by regulatory agencies when rofecoxib was first removed from the market in 2004.
The ongoing PRECISION trial, otherwise known as the Prospective Randomized Evaluation of Celecoxib Integrated Safety versus Ibuprofen or Naproxen, will eventually provide more information on the relative cardiovascular safety of these options.
Overall, naproxyn appeared to be associated with a relatively low risk for cardiovascular events compared with other NSAIDs. PT

Estonian brewers: State stands to lose €150m in taxes through excise hikes ({{commentsTotal}})
The newly installed Estonian government's plans for a more than twofold increase in the excise duty on low-alcohol beverages will hit whole sectors of the economy hard and the state will stand to lose up to 150 million euros annually due to a fall in excise and VAT revenue, the Estonian Brewers Association maintains.
"The hike in the excise duty on low-alcohol beverages ignores business owners' justified expectation of a stable business environment," the industry body said in a statement. "We're drawing attention to the fact that the state has already put in place a record excise duty hike through 2020 in accordance with which business owners have made their plans. Such a step by the government also spells an explosive increase in cross-border trade in the southern direction which affects the Estonian beer market and hits entire business sectors hard."
According to the association, the 2.2-fold rise in excise duty will raise the price of a bottle of beer to 1.5 euros, making one bottle of beer one whole euro and a case of beer 11 euros more expensive than in Latvia. Sales volumes in Estonia will fall by 60 percent as half of the domestic turnover will shift to Latvia and the whole port trade will be wiped out, the association argued.
"This significant revenue loss will threaten tens and hundreds of stores, particularly small shops and related jobs," the association said. "Furthermore, the number of Finnish tourists will decrease substantially. A considerable setback will hit the Estonian tourism sector through which hundreds of traders, tourist and service enterprises and their employees will lose."
The association thus called on the ministries and parliamentary committees responsible to assess the planned hikes' actual and comprehensive impact on the Estonian economy and its competitiveness, the local business environment as well as public health goals.
The new ruling coalition plans to raise the beer excise duty by 65 percent from July 2017, and by 166 percent from the present, to 22.09 cents per percentage by volume per liter of beer by 2020.

This fall has been stunning!
The aspens are glowing yellow and the other trees are various shades of red. The apple trees are producing an abundance of apples (and they are amazing). It is just beautiful. It is hard to believe the beautiful fall colors are part of death.
Sam briefly mentioned this in his sermon a few Sundays ago, and it got my mind going. I began thinking how does this relate to us, and I thought about when I lost my Dad. I hated every moment of it, but there was beauty in knowing where he was going. He was entering a place of beauty that we can not even come close to imagining.
Am I fully committed to Jesus?
I started thinking even more and thought of how I need to let parts of myself die to let Jesus have 100% of me. What am I still holding onto that keeps me from being completely committed to Him. Do I let me kids, husband, job, hobbies come before Jesus. I hate to admit it, but I do. I daily allow "things" to get in my way of being completely committed to Him.
(Painting done by my friend Jerolyn Dirks-Brodeur)
What does total commitment to Jesus look like?
Here are a few scriptures I found…
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21Click To Tweet
And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. Mark 8:34-35Click To Tweet
And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23Click To Tweet
We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. Romans 6:6Click To Tweet
What I think total commitment looks like.
From reading the scripture I think total commitment is laying everything out in front of Jesus and saying it's yours. This would be my joys, my sorrows, my kids, my husband, my fears, my money, everything. Handing everything over to Him and not taking it back, as I am so good at doing. I think it also means letting nothing stand in the way of my being with Him. Starting and ending my day in His word and/or prayer. Plus having a constant prayer throughout the day. I think total commitment is being so in tune with Jesus that I will do everything He calls me to. As hard as it may be there is beauty in letting things die so that I can be completely committed to the one who gave His life for me.
What does total commitment look like to you?
What do you think total commitment looks like? Please share below in the comments. I would love to continue this conversation with you.

Jobs Are Easy To Hate. Do Something Else.I've always hated having a job. It doesn't matter what the job is, the fact is, if I have to go to work every day for someone else I'm not a happy person.
What it boils down to for me is I don't want to be working to line someone else's pockets. The hard work and dedication I put into my daily efforts should benefit me and my family, not the CEO of a company.
Easier said than done. In order for that to happen, I need to have something I have the knowledge and skills to do that's worth money.
Enter internet marketing. And really, one specific type of internet marketing, called affiliate marketing.
The goal of the affiliate marketer is to build a website that promotes a product in some way and directs the reader of that website to make a purchase through another company, like Amazon.com.
For example: I write a product review for a TV. That review contains a link to Amazon.com where the reader can purchase that TV, earning me a commission on the sale.
There are many more affiliate programs than Amazon, and nearly unlimited ideas to write about. I just pick things I'm interested in so I enjoy what I'm doing!
All of these ideas were foreign to me until I came across Wealthy Affiliate, an online community of internet marketers working together to help each other make money. They provide training, tools and most importantly, human support by successful internet marketers. Certification courses, webinars, live chat, forums, web design tools, web hosting- really, everything you need to get started in the internet marketing world.
I haven't talked at all about WordPress... this is the online blog tool that Wealthy Affiliate provides to its users to make web pages. It's an incredibly powerful tool that can be used to create professional websites quickly and easily, and through their certification courses, Wealthy Affiliate will teach you how to use it.
For free.
Their starter membership costs nothing and allows you to get your feet wet and with some work, even make some money!
Do yourself and your family a favor. If you hate your job, starting making your own. Copy and paste this url into your browser www.wealthyaffiliate.com?a_aid=62e40dfb have a look at what internet marketing is and decide if you want to work from home for yourself!

Hello ModlyChic readers! My name is Linley and write a blog called Dwelling and Telling – where I share my life and style. I've actually been here on Katy's blog before – I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in a Blogger Profile! I'm excited to share with you all a look that's perfect for Spring, and can easily be carried into Summer!
Although Alabama has already had some 90 degree weather this Spring, this particular day it was significantly cooler. It actually felt like Spring! Truth be told, I'm more of a jeans and shorts kinda gal, but sometimes, when the weather is perfect, you just can't help but put on a pretty dress! And that's what I did.
When I put on this dress I knew I wanted to keep it clean and simple, but some color must be added in (hello, it's Spring!). Thank you J Crew for fabulous cardigans! I grabbed my brightest one and went on with my day. I love the combination of white and yellow! It's bright and clean – you can't help but be in a good mood. I plan on wearing this look again come Summer time, but most likely without the cardigan. And perhaps some gold sandals instead. What's your favorite, go-to Spring look?

I've been photographing these beautiful girls since they were 18 months and 3 years old and I can hardly believe how grown up they are now! I feel like I say this all the time, but it truly is my greatest joy as a photographer to continue documenting families through the years as they grow and change. Kroggels, thank you for allowing me to continue photographing your sweet family!
They asked if they could bring along their nanny of 5 years because she has become like family to them…it was so dear to see how the girls adore her!


text: For anyone sitting on the fence as to wether to have a re-map done i can only recomend it. Just had my car done from a guy named Paul Winston who does Angel Tuning remaps and the improvement in power/torque is pretty impressive. Not to sure about increased MPG at this stage as at this stage i want to drive harder at the expense of mpg, however i'm sure once i start driving like an old lady again the mpg will increase slightly. Just thought i would share this with you. l 5TUY

Hannah Nepil interviews composer John Scott, who conducts the RPO in accompaniment to Douglas Fairbanks' 1922 silent film on 12th July at Cadogan Hall.
When the composer John Scott was asked in 2006 to compose a score for the silent film Robin Hood, his first reaction was 'no thanks'.
Which may seem surprising. After all, in 1922 when it came out, Douglas Fairbanks' film was the most expensive ever to have been made, at a cost of over 1,000,000 dollars. But something about it made Scott hesitate. 'When I first saw it, it was too fast,' he says, 'everything looked unnatural. And,' he adds, 'it seemed like a thankless task working so hard for something when I couldn't believe in the speed of it.'
He changed his mind after the film was slowed down to look more natural: 'At this new speed the sets, the pageantry, the costumes could now be appreciated for what they were.'
There are several film and TV versions of Robin Hood, each accompanied by different music. 'Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen' is the famous theme from TV's The Adventures of Robin Hood; Bryan Adams was number one for a long time with 'Everything I Do, I Do it For You' from the Kevin Costner film. And if really pressed, many people could hum a tune from the Walt Disney movie.
For Scott, though, the definitive version was Erich Korngold's score to the Errol Flynn version. And that was a concern. 'I didn't want to be compared with Korngold,' he says. 'But then I thought, I'm not going to copy Korngold. I'm just going to write a score that I believe in.'
Scott is no stranger to film music. He has composed scores for films including The Shooting Party and Greystoke – The Legend of Tarzan, and one other silent film, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Nevertheless, writing the score to Robin Hood was hard work. 'With a silent film the music never stops, so it was a relentless process,' he says. But he is happy with the result. 'It's a swashbuckler,' he says, 'There's adventure music, baddy music and romance.'
The score was premièred in Nottingham in 2007 and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will give the second ever performance, accompanying a screening of the film, at Cadogan Hall in July.

It works for the most part, but i notice a lot of slow loads and fast memory usage (i am currently on 512MB DDR400). Well, I know the AIW has an S-Video out, or an RCA Video Out on the card, and I wanted to know if there is a way i can use that to go to my monitor, without having to purchase a convertor. I guess the cheap side in my thinks that this would work: S-Video Cable -> S-Video to VGA -> VGA Male to Female convertor -> Monitor Will that work? I'll link the different components i'm talking about: This is an Video Card to S-Video/RCA adapter, which i assume means it goes only one way: http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?T1=131+0615&dept=lch37&search=&child= This is a gender changer for VGA (i think): http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?T1=130+0197&dept=lch37&search=&child= Is this possible? or do i need to spring for a signal convertor?

What if the deceased was receiving the GST/HST credit
Generally, GST/HST credit payments are issued on the fifth day of the month in July, October, January, and April. If the deceased was receiving GST/HST credit payments, we may still send out a payment after the date of death because we are not aware of the death. If this happens, you should return the payment to the tax centre that serves your area.
We administer provincial programs that are related to the GST/HST credit. If the deceased was receiving payments under one of these programs, you do not have to take any further action. We will use the information provided for the GST/HST credit payments to adjust the applicable credit.
What if the deceased was single, separated, divorced, or widowed and received the GST/HST credit?
If the recipient died before the scheduled month in which we issue the credit, we cannot make any more payments in that person's name or to that person's estate.
If the recipient died during or after the scheduled month in which we issue the credit and the payment has not been cashed, return it to the tax centre that serves your area so that we can send the payment to the person's estate.
If the deceased was getting a credit for a child, the child's new caregiver should contact us at 1-800-387-1193 to request GST/HST credit payments for that child.
What if the deceased's GST/HST credit is for the deceased and his or her spouse or common-law partner?
If the deceased had a spouse or common-law partner, that person may be eligible to receive the GST/HST credit if he or she filed an income tax and benefit return. The GST/HST credit payments will be based on his or her net income alone.
What if the surviving spouse's or common-law partner's GST/HST credit includes a claim for the deceased?
If the surviving spouse's or common-law partner's GST/HST credit included an amount for the deceased, the payments will be recalculated based on his or her net income alone and will only include a claim for himself or herself and any children, if applicable.
What if the deceased is an eligible child?
Entitlement to GST/HST credit payments for a deceased child stops the quarter after the child's date of death. You should notify us of the date of death so that we can update our records.

Koel is an opensource web based music streaming server, similar to Subsonic or Sonerezh, written in Vue (client side) and Laravel (Server side), and is based on latest technologies (HTML5, ES6 etc…).
Tag: music
Emby, robust opensource media solution
Sonerezh – Your own Spotify
If you have your own server, one of the very first service you want to install is a web portal to access to all your musics from anywhere.
This is basically what Spotify is doing, to listen music by streaming with the possibility to create and share playlists, but not on your own server and with no control. Obvisouly, you may want to change that with an Opensource alternative.
The most popular alternative is Subsonic, written in Java (Kind of heavy then), but a new one is emerging, with a modern design and much lighter, I call Sonerezh.
Internet radios browser – Streamtuner2
If you are a fan of Internet radios to play some music at home, the office, in your car,…. you might already be using SHOUTcast, Jamendo, etc…but actually you could use Streamtuner2 to consolidate all the following internet radio streams into a single interface:
- SHOUTcast
- Xiph.org
- Live365
- Dmoz
- Jamendo
- Basic.ch
- Punkcast
- MyOggRadio
- InternetRadio.org.uk
- MusicGoal
Written in Python, opensource and available for Windows and Linux, it's a rewrite of the old (2004) 0.99.99 version. Slightly less speedy than the original one (Written in C), it does offer a more intuitive and user-friendly interface. A command line interface is always available to help running all your scripts, etc… or not having to run the GUI.
You can also easily record what you are listening.
It can be installed from the majority of the distribution's repository.
sudo apt-get install streamtuner2
or if like me you use the very powerful Sabayon distro:
sudo equo streamtuner2
More information on the official website.
Subsonic – Free Music Streamer like your own Deezer and Spotify
Music is everywhere and as never been as digitized as today, in your smartphone, your computer, your car radio, your TV, etc…. and fewer and fewer buy CDs, instead they spend more on concerts and legal online music.
As you may have already a good collection of musics at home, you may want to be able to access it from anywhere on your smartphone, your laptop, etc…
The best is then to install on your server a Music Streamer service. Probably the 2 most popular are Ampache (in PHP) and Subsonic. (In Java)
Most probably Ampache is the most powerful one with the highest level of customization possible.
However Subsonic remains for me one of the first and best service I install on my servers as it has all I need in a simple yet powerful package.
Subsonic can handle hundreds of GB of musics, for a large choice of formats (MP3, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WMA, etc…) but also videos, with a very friendly interface and damn easy to install. Some features are also very appreciated such as bitrate limitations (In case of slow connection), can follow podcasts and webradio, can easily download or upload tracks, etc….The only issue is for me the need to have Java…
So let's see how to install it.
Obviously you will need first to install the Java JRE. You can either use the Oracle/Sun version or the OpenJDK version under GPL2 licence (Really free as free speech)
As Subsonic works with any of these 2, I prefer to use the free one. In root, type:
apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
To be able to use their great transcoding feature (To convert music on-the-fly), you will need to install a couple of packages to decode the music:
apt-get install lame flac faad vorbis-tools ffmpeg
And finally download and install the official subsonic.deb from their website.
With their today's latest version (4.9), to download it in command line, I will do:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/subsonic/files/subsonic/4.9/subsonic-4.9.deb/download -O subsonic-4.9.deb
and to install, in root (su):
dpkg -i subsonic-4.9.deb
And voila !
You should now have a working instance of Subsonic on your server at the URL http://myIP:4040.
So don't forget to open the port 4040 into your router to allow connection from outside your network.
You also recommend you to use their smartphone application (Android and co)
Or do you use any other good Music Streamer despite Ampache and Subsonic?
