A stay in the wilderness cabins at the Reindeer Lodge, just a few minutes from the small village of Jukkasjärvi, the location of the world-famous Ice Hotel, is an ideal option for a Lapland winter experience, either as a stand-alone break or in combination with one of our multi-day dog sledding experiences in the area.
Situated in the heart of the reindeer camp, with the reindeer enclosure just a few metres from your door, the cabins offer simple but comfortable and cosy accommodation for 2-3 persons per cabin. Each cabin has a wood-burning stove and also electric heater. Meals are taken together in the dining cabin and 2-course dinner and breakfast is included for each night's stay. Meals are prepared from local ingredients wherever possible and will typically feature traditional dishes from Lapland including moose, reindeer, arctic char and cloudberries (special dietary options are also available).
Also included each evening is wood-fired sauna at the camp - a wonderful winter experience, an ideal way to keep an eye out for a spectacular display of the Northern Lights and - who knows? - you may even feel brave enough for a roll in the snow after heating up in the sauna!
The camp is a working reindeer corral and offers a very special atmosphere. In connection with your stay it is also possible to arrange a number of winter activities, from reindeer and Sami-related experiences to snowmobiling and Northern Lights.
The Ice Hotel, a Sami cafe and Sami museum are within easy walking distance (approx. 3km) and are popular options for additional activities (charges apply payable locally for entry to Ice Hotel, entry to the Sami museum is free of charge for guests staying at the Reindeer Lodge).
Optional Activities:
The activities below can also be booked separately if not staying at the Reindeer Lodge, for example as extra activities for the arrival/departure day of any of our dogsled tours in the area - see under "Combine This With..."
Times given below are when choosing these activities in combination with a stay at the Reindeer Lodge. If staying elsewhere in the area, pick-up/drop-off times from local accommodation will be slightly different. Details will be given in booking documentation.
Special dietary options (vegetarian, etc) are available for the activities below if pre-arranged. Please advise dietary requirements in advance.
Reindeer Encounter and Sami Experience (morning tour 09.15-12.30 or afternoon tour 14.15-17.30)
Taking place right at the Reindeer Lodge, this activity gives you the opportunity to get "up close and personal" with the reindeer at the corral, including feeding the calves, trying your hand at the traditional lassoing technique, and trying a short reindeer sled ride on the track at the camp. Your guide will introduce you to the culture of the Sami and the life of a working reindeer herder. After meeting the reindeer, lunch is served in the Sami lavvu (tipi) - sitting around the fire on a warm base of reindeer skins is a magical experience and the perfect setting to learn more about Sami culture from your guide, while a traditional lunch is served of coffee and suovas, the Sami national dish of smoked reindeer.
Suitable for all ages.
Northern Lights Snowmobile Evening Tour (19.15-23.00)
With its ability to cover relatively large distances in a short space of time, snowmobile can be a wonderful way to experience the Lapland winter landscape. This evening tour combines the excitement and adventure of snowmobiling with good chances to see the Northern Lights. After a short minibus transfer you will be instructed in how to handle your snowmobile. Snowmobiles are powerful machines, but straightforward to drive, and you will be given advice on safety procedures before beginning your tour. Participants can share one snowmobile per two persons or drive own snowmobile depending on preference. Far away from light pollution, the stars are at their brightest and it is a wonderful experience to travel through the winter darkness. The tour includes stop with hot drink and snack before returning.
See more information on Northern Lights below. Minimum age 8. Participants who wish to drive must hold full driving licence and be aged 18 or over. An excess of 8000 SEK (approx. £800) applies to the driver in the event of damage. Children ride behind driver or in sled.
Northern Lights Photography Evening (18.45-midnight except from 26th March then 19.45-01.00)
Northern Sweden is an ideal location to have good chances to see the Northern Lights, known as "Guovssahas" in the North Sami language. Led by Sami guide, the evening will focus both on stories and Sami traditions connected to the Northern Lights and hopefully offer the opportunity to photograph the Aurora and of course the surrounding landscape.
Depending on the forecast of Aurora activity, you will go on foot or by minibus to where the best possibilities exist locally for clear skies. Camera, tripod and torch are provided and the evening includes instruction in the basics of nighttime and Aurora photography. Guests are requested to bring own memory card (min. 8GB, also available for purchase locally). The tour is suitable both for novice photographers and those with more advanced skills.
During the tour you will warm up in a lavvu (traditional Sami tipi), forest cabin or outside fire depending on weather conditions and the location of the evening's activity. Drinks and snacks are provided.
See more information on Northern Lights below. Minimum age 10, though note that this experience will be of most interest to adults and older children.
Daytime Nature Photography (08.45-13.10)
A photo tour for novice or more advanced photographers focussing on capturing if possible shots of free roaming animals such as moose, reindeer and ptarmigan as well and the natural landscapes of the area. You will have transfer by minibus to visit pine forests on the edge of the frozen lakes and, with good visibility, mountain views with Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain, in the distance. Chances to see wildlife during the tour are good but cannot be guaranteed. You may well also see tracks and signs of a variety of animals.
Camera, tripod and 300mm telephoto lens and provided. Guests are requested to bring own memory card (min. 8GB, also available for purchase locally).
Tour includes break with coffee and cake and your local hosts will be happy to share stories of the Sami and their relationship with the landscapes around you.
The Northern Lights
The areas in which these activities take place offer good chances to see the Northern Lights. The Aurora is of course a natural phenomenon, and possibilities to see the lights depend not only on factors such as solar activity but also on local weather conditions such as cloud cover. Sightings can of course not be guaranteed.
Combinations with Dog Sledding
Wilderness Cabin at the Reindeer Lodge makes an ideal combination with any of our dogsled tours in the area, which are located just 15 minutes away, duration 1-12 days. See Combine This With.

Eco Info
This host has received a prestigious Swedish Ecotourism award for commitment to high standards to cultural and environmental sensitivity.
"We had the most fantastic holiday, both my daughter and myself consider that it was one of the best things we have ever done. The information given beforehand was comprehensive and most helpful and so we felt very well-prepared with equipment, etc. All the pickups and transfers worked very smoothly and on time and our hosts and guides both at the Reindeer Lodge and the kennels were very welcoming and a pleasure to be with. Our guide on the dog sledding tour was a lovely guy, very funny, knowledgeable, always puts the welfare of the dogs first and foremost and we were sorry to leave him, the beautiful, hardworking and friendly huskies and our fellow guests behind. Thanks a million to you and the team at Nature Travels for your wonderful organisation, there was nothing to fault at all." Liz, who combined a stay at the Reindeer Lodge with a stay at Discover Dog Sledding in Lapland, February 2018
"I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and everyone at Nature Travels! We had he most incredible time - it was absolutely unbelievable and one of the most memorable holidays I think I've ever been on." Emily, who combined a stay at the Reindeer Lodge with Discover Dog Sledding in Lapland, January 2018.
"The husky sledding was amazing and the people at the Reindeer Lodge were lovely. Johan is a brilliant cook and we had some delicious meals, way better than I imagined! The snowmobiling was fun too and Daniel was a good tutor/host. Visiting the Sami village by walking across the frozen lake should be recommended, the cafe there is so warm and welcoming, we went back twice, the staff in there were also very welcoming and friendly and the food was good, a nice place to go for lunch." Tara, who combined a stay at the Reindeer Lodge and snowmobile tour with Dogsled Tour with Overnight in Wilderness Cabin, December 2017.

People want to defend Andersen's move because they want someone to believe in. He's a good man, a terrific coach, a coach who said the right things, who talked about and emphasized what was in the kids' best interests, as though that really was a priority of his. But there were a few things that were bigger priorities … namely, more money and a higher profile and straight ambition. Defenders and apologists say it's the smart move, the money move, the human move. And all of that is true. But it does not address the damage left behind: The players to whom promises were made about the greatness that would be Utah State. – Gordon Monson (Complete Article)
The kids. It is all about the kids in Gordon Monson's opinion. I would really like to know what the kids think of Coach Andersen leaving. Are they upset that he left? Did he really promise them he would be there through their college careers? Even if they did, I doubt they would say they are upset with Coach Andersen.
Although I am sure Gary is a great recruiter, there are more variables in deciding what school to go to than Coach. The biggest deciding factor in choosing a school must be playing time. Chuckie Keeton had to know he had a shot at starting and USU before changing his commitment from Air Force to USU. There are other variables as well like the school's academics and location.
How can we assume that the kids are hurt by a coach moving. Are we assuming that these kids are so naive to not think of the possibility of a coaching change? Or if the kid's are so naive, where are their parents and role models/mentors to help them realize it? We all know if you flip the situation the players would be doing the same thing. If Chuckie Keeton was offered a scholarship to another bigger program than USU (pick your choice) with a chance to start he wouldn't have left USU in the dust? These kids (and whatever team they have) are not stupid.
USU fans, please do not be discouraged by the coaching change. By having Matt Wells as the head coach, Keeton will have the same offense going into next year and all the same returning starters. They are also bringing back a large part of the defense. So, who will be the new defensive coordinator? I have no idea. It shouldn't matter because it may be one of the easiest coaching jobs to take this offseason. All the new coordinator will need to do is run the same defensive and enjoy another top 20 ranked defense.
I look forward to watching the Aggies go big next year (except against the Utes of course). Go Aggies Go!

I'm going with Euphoria Men.
Burberry London
CK Euphoria Men
Davidoff Silver Shadow
Polo Double Black
Prada Amber
Tommy 10
None of the above
Well, I was at L.S. Ayres today (which will be Macy's on Sept. 9th). After the SA (who I know very well) sold a bottle of Le Male to a customer, I chatted with her about the upcoming designer launches between now and September. In between talking sales stats and the new Perfumania (read: competition) in the mall, she gave me some tidbits:
To kick off the new smell season, Davidoff Silver Shadow (already a best-seller in Europe) should be launching in the US in a few weeks. In August, we'll be seeing Tommy 10 and Polo Double Black.
But September is where the real doozy starts. We're talking four major megalaunches here in addition to the namechange to Macy's. First, there's the new Burberry London for men. Then, we'll (finally) be seeing Gaultier2. Next, there's Prada Amber Pour Homme. And, finally, Calvin Klein's Euphoria Men will be the icing on this perfumed cake.
That's where all you come in. Vote for the scent that you think will sell the most on the market.

It's really quite pleasant, except for the smell (...)
-"Mama", My Chemical Romance
Niche & Hard-To-Find Sale (US Only): Frederic Malle, vintage Infusion de Vetiver, By Kilian
I'm going with Euphoria Men.
You asked which will sell, not personal likes ... In my neck of the woods, anything Polo is still huge. I think it will be a big seller, at least in Kansas, because of the name.
My vote was for Euphoria man. Calvin's scents are plain vanilla choices to the Mrs Joe Blows of America who's men really have no interest in scent and wear what the Ms in their life buys for them.
What I'm trying to say is they are good safe scents....
I second Euphoria for men...Calvin Klein scent's are widely distributed over here....However, personally I am more curious on Prada's new scent....
Silver Shadow has been here in Australia for quite a while, and although I am eagerly waiting for Euphoria, based on the responses of acquaintances, Silver Shadow seems quite popular.
Voted for Gaultier2... Alright, I'm biased...
Seriously, who would give a bubblegummy, sweet, floral, synthetic smelling(at first) scent like this a second thought?
Interesting question/poll.
I suppose it will be Euphoria that will sell best in the States, followed by another Americans (Tommy+Polo)
I myself am waiting very much for that new London; the "port-wine" note sounds extremely delicious!
I voted for the CK and I'm sure the Polo will do pretty well too.
Not sure about Gaultier² though. It might do well in urban areas, but I'm not sure Middle America is ready for this. Besides it's not your typical launch, I think it's one of those rare fragrances of which sales grow with time, contrary others sell very strongly in their first year and then decline in sales.
I just wonder which one of them will actually smell any good....

Husband arrested in 8-year-old Goliad fatal fire case
By by Dianna Wray - firstname.lastname@example.com
Dec. 2, 2011 at 6:02 a.m.
More than eight years after Patricia Leigh Mills died in a 2003 Goliad house fire, her husband has been arrested in connection with her death.
On Wednesday, Delbert Andrew Mills, 44, of Victoria, was arrested and charged with capital murder.
Patricia Mills' sister, Sharon Burdette, said she was overjoyed when she learned about the arrest.
"All I could do was scream, 'Merry Christmas, little sister! They finally got him!'" she said.
The couple had been married about eight years at the time of her death.
She was killed when the couple's home at 127 South San Patricio Street caught fire on June 25, 2003.
The couple's son, who was 7 years old at the time, was able to escape the burning house.
The cold case was reopened in 2010 by sheriff Kirby Brumby after he was approached by Burdette.
Investigators spent more than a year working on the case.
Burdette had spent years trying to get law enforcement to look closer at her sister's death, she said. When Brumby said they would re-open the case, she was thrilled.
"I had been after it for eight years but nobody took me seriously," she said.
Mills' arrest came after an extensive investigation by the Goliad County Sheriff's Office, Texas Ranger Tod Reed and Goliad County Constable Precinct No. 2 Mike Thompson.
The Victoria County Sheriff's Office and Department of Public Safety Agent Tim Upright also assisted in the investigation, according to a Goliad County Sheriff's Office news release.
"It is always satisfying when an effort like this pays off," Brumby said in the news release.
Brumby also said he was grateful for the cooperation from all the agencies and particularly to Thompson, who spent so much time working on the case.
Burdette echoed Brumby's statement.
Burdette said she is grateful to everyone who was involved in the case, particularly Thompson.
"I had contacted everybody and nobody was helping me," she said. "If it wasn't for him, it wouldn't have happened."
Mills was interviewed at the Victoria County Sheriff's Office by Reed and Upright.
He was taken into custody, appeared before a magistrate and transported to the Goliad County Jail without incident on Wednesday.
His bond was set at $5 million by Goliad County Justice of the Peace Precinct 1 Sylvia Valdez.
"We feel very good to have him off the street," Brumby said.
Burdette has been caring for her sister's son, John, since his mother's death and is in the process of adopting him. She said she plans to be present when Mills goes to trial.
"I don't want the death penalty. I want him to suffer everyday that she is under the ground," she said. "She was a beautiful sister, mother and friend. She didn't deserve it."

Hansen singles home winning run for Bears, who beat SFA 4-3
Published 6:00 pm, Saturday, March 1, 2008
Shaver Hansen's run-scoring single to left field in the bottom of the seventh gave undefeated Baylor a 4-3 win over Stephen F. Austin on Sunday.
Eric Forestiere held the door shut, pitching two innings of hitless relief for his first save.
Hansen homered in the first inning to give Baylor a 1-0 lead. Dustin Dickerson's RBI triple in the second added to the lead, and the Bears (7-0) went up 3-0 in the third on Ben Booker's solo shot.
The Lumberjacks got on the board in the fourth on Kevin Croft's RBI single to left center. Then Noel Trevino singled home two runs in the seventh, one of which was unearned, to tie the game at 3-3.
Reliever Mace Thurman (1-0) got the win, even though he gave up two runs on three hits in two innings. He walked none and struck out none.
Jared Schrom (0-1) took the loss, giving up one run on three hits in three innings of work. He struck out three and walked three.
Trevino went 1 for 3 with two RBIs for Stephen F. Austin (4-4).

"During the last crisis, we had China, and most of the other developing countries also had high growth rates. But now short term, you cannot expect a stimulus from China, so there's no one to pull the world out of the next slump." — Peter Loscher, Siemens CEO, April 2013

Hey people! Despite what Facebook told you, 2014 sucked ass in a lot of different ways. Particularly if you were black or are against using torture in an unjustified war. I had actually written something about how Facebook's attempt to structure our collective memory as a series of individual successes is a dirty tactic used by those in power to distract us from the myriad failures that we've had as a culture and country. But honestly, it was too depressing, even for me.1 The good news is that 2014 was a pretty good year for music! One of my favorite things to do after Christmas is take a deep dive into the albums that I spent the most time with in 2014 and try to come up with a top 10 list. It was tough to come up with a top 10 list since there was a lot of exciting and new stuff that came out this year. I actually probably spent more time on this than I ever have in previous years, which is why I didn't finish this until after the actual new year. Anyways, here is my usual disclaimer – this will probably be most interesting to those people who really are into music. If you just listen to radio or just listen to music as background music, which there is nothing wrong with, then chances are you've probably not even heard of half the people on the list and that's totally ok. This is purely a navel gazing exercise for myself and my list is no more valid than yours.2 If anything, I just really like sharing music with people and you can consider this my mixtape gift to you. Anyways, happy new year and let's hope that 2015 is as good as 2014 was musically.
Before we get started, let's talk about some other interesting releases of 2014 that didn't make my top 10 list.
Seriously, aren't all of these artists kinduva the same thing? Why do the critics want me to think these are great albums when they all sound mopey and boring and completely devoid of any musicality?
- St. Vincent – St. Vincent: She's kinda the queen of this type of white female song writer that the more pretentious critics love fawning over in an attempt to appear progressive on the gender front.3 Never mind that these artists all kind fit the indie version of the manic-pixie-dreamgirl archetype, with one big difference……their music is BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRIIIINGGGGGGG. But at least this album has some electric guitars unlike the next two…
- Sharon Van Etten – Are We There?: Seriously, would it kill these women to write one catchy melody?
- Angel Olson – Burn Your Fire for No Witness: Would it also kill them to shell out a little more money for some quality microphones so I don't have to hear how breathy their voices are?
Fits into previous categorization but also has the distinction of being the worst album of 2014
- Lana Del Ray – Ultraviolence: If you think about it, Lana Del Ray and Iggy Azalea are two sides of the same coin.
Not the worst album per se (although it is pretty bad) but definitely the most disappointing album of the year, a.k.a. the when our heroes let us down award
Albums that I don't know what to do with because sometimes they sound pretty kickass to me but other times I check out pretty quickly
- Alt J – This is all Yours: I feel like I should like this album in the same way that I feel like I should like Sufjan Stephens. But I don't because it just sounds like a bunch of people who were band dorks in high school and then even though they probably should have been classical musicians, they ended up trying to make pop music. There are some interesting ideas on here, but it never really comes together for me.
- TV on the Radio – Seeds: On the one hand, this is their most accessible album. On the other hand, it sounds like they made a conscious effort to be more radio friendly and the results are kinda bland. This album doesn't annoy me, but I almost think that they're better when they're being pretentious if that makes any sense. Kinda like yours truly.
Really good albums, but I took points off for being the exactly the same as another album that they put out:
- Beck – Morning Phase. Seriously, how is this different from Sea Change? Seriously, the opening tracks for both albums even use the same chords.
- tUnE-yArDs – Nikki Nack. Still eminently enjoyable but not much of a departure from the last album, W H O K I L L. I also took off points for the stupid aLtErNaTiNg CaPs thing.
Albums that weren't released in 2014 but I got into them in a big way this year
- The National – Trouble Will Find Me: I really really really regret not including this on my top 10 list from last year. In retrospect, the inclusion of that Chvrcvhes album on that list seems pretty silly.
- Fleetwood Mac – Fleetwood Mac: I know everyone thinks that Rumours is their best album, but I think that what people really like was the back story of Rumours. The whole personal turmoil leads to superior art just makes more sense to us sometimes. But really if you think about it, wouldn't it make more sense if good art, especially for a rock band, happens when everyone is in tune with each other? I think that song for song, Fleetwood Mac has catchier melodies, better lyrics, and is more cohesive as a song cycle.
Album that I spent a good part of the year liking and was going to put on my top 10 list until I realized the album sounded like the Freddy Jones Band/the BoDeans/Hootie and the Blowfish and other shitty Country-Rock bands that I thought I liked in college
- Ryan Adams – Ryan Adams: I hate it when I ruin albums for myself.
Album that in an alternate universe I place as my favorite album of 2014
- Taylor Swift – 1989: I may have converted to team T-Swizzle this year, but I'm still not brave enough to put this on my top 10 list. I don't deserve her.
Albums that probably could have made it into my top 10 but my objectivity is compromised by the fact that I want to make babies with the artist/certain members of the band
- Lake Street Dive – Bad Self Portraits
Jenny Lewis – The Voyager
The New Pornographers – Brill Bruisers
My favorite single of 2014
- Teenage Wasteland – Wussy: I considered putting Attica!, the album that this song is from on my top 10 list on just the strength of this one song. If you want to really know who I am as a person, know that this song about discovering the music of the Who very often reduces me to tears.4
Album released in December that I kinda feel like I can't include on this list since I really haven't been able to spend too much time with, but…damn, it might be better than any of the albums in my top 10.
- D'angelo – Black Messiah: I wrote this facebook comment on one of my friend's post asking to discuss the D'angelo album.
I feel bad for Maxwell. Remember when Maxwell did his unplugged thing and we started to really pay attention to him. Tons and tons of column inches were dedicated to talking about the beginnings of a new kind of soul music and that Urban Hang Suite was some kind of direct descendant of Stax records and James Brown and Earth Wind and Fire, and the cutting edge of the future of soul music. Then Voodoo came out a couple of years later and we were all like "Oops, remember all that stuff we said about Maxwell, we were actually talking about D'angelo."
Fast forward to 2009 and BLACKsummersnight comes out and we were all like "Hey Maxwell is back! That is some damned fine soul music after all this time. Good Show Maxwell!" And we felt nostalgic and bestowed Maxwell with some accolades as being influential on the current neo soul sound. Now Black Messiah comes out and we're like "sheeeeeeet, this is amazing." And we don't have to even bring nostalgia into this because Black Messiah is an uninterrupted straight line from Voodoo and somehow despite sounding a lot like Voodoo, it also sounds completely fresh and different and revolutionary in the same way Voodoo was back then. And even though it's a little unfair to compare the two now in the same way we did back in the late nineties-early aughts, the symmetry of D'angelo's comeback outshining Maxwell's comeback is all too obvious. Time is a flat circle.
OK enough pretentious rambling! Onto organized and ranked pretention! Just a reminder that this list is limited to only those albums that I spent a significant amount of time with this year. So maybe that Sun Kil Moon album is really as good as the critics are saying5, but I wouldn't know because I checked out after the first two songs and never returned to it.
10. Warpaint – Warpaint: Did you guys see that Sleater Kinney got back together and are putting out a new album. I liked them a little less then most indie hipsters. The main reason I could never really fully get into them is because man did they love that lo-fi sound. Like a good producer, someone to play bass full time, and some guitar overdubs would have done wonders for them. Anyways, Warpaint does all that and I'm fully into them.6
9. Sylvan Esso – Sylvan Esso: I have finally given up my quest to understand electronic music. I mean the beats are fine and catchy, but I just do not connect on any emotional level. I just hear party music. Anyways, this is as close as I will get to liking EDM I think. Even though it's not really EDM. So whatever, it's a great headphone album. Amelia Meath's voice carry this duo in the same way that Tracy Thorn's voice carried Everything but the Girl's foray into electronic music.
8. The War on Drugs – Lost in the Dream: Fun fact: in my 38+ years of being alive, I have somehow managed to never smoke pot. It's not that I have any kind of moral aversion to it and I completely support the concept of chemically altering our state of mind to allow us to experience things we wouldn't otherwise. No, rather, it's just at some point in my mid twenties I realized that I hadn't tried it yet, and it felt like my last bastion of innocence, so I've refrained since. Why do I tell you this? Because I imagine that this might be the reason that this album is not higher on my list like it seems to be on everyone else's list. It's the best stoner rock that I've heard since…well since ever. If you like Pink Floyd you will really like this album. If you like the Psychedelic Furs you will really like this album. And if you liked the movie Half Baked I think you might really like this album.
7. Benjamin Booker – Benjamin Booker: This album really fills a gap in popular music in the US. It that accessible kind of music that serves as a bridge between current rock music and the blues from which it all rock music is based on. There are so few guitar riff based bands anymore and I think that's a damn shame. There is so much going on in the album – Jack White, the Strokes, Sam Cooke, Bo Diddley, the Kinks – really good stuff.
6. La Roux – Trouble in Paradise: If La Roux had been around when I was in high school she would be mentioned with the greats of that era and synth pop genre: Duran Duran, the Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order, Yaz, Ashes to Ashes era Bowie7. This is what fun smart pop music sounds like.
5. Lydia Loveless – Somewhere Else: The more I read about Lydia Loveless and the more I listen to her lyrics, the more convinced I am that she probably has a substance abuse problem of some kind and probably suffers from some form of clinical depression. Those things in real life are probably a real bummer, but they sure do make great source material for a sophomore effort. If you like boozy country punk ballads about hard livin' and bad relationships, you'll love this album.
4. FKA Twigs – LP1: Everyone loves this album, and so do I. I hope that Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus are paying attention. This is how you writes songs about sex that are actually sexy.8
3. Kelis- Food: Did you know that the lady who did Milkshake has been churning out really great soul music since Milkshake hit? Well, now you do. This album is so great that even your parents will like it. Seriously, play it for them, they'll dance with you and it will be hilarious.
2. Run the Jewels – Run the Jewels 2: Did you know Killer Mike and El-P are older than I am? Well they are, and it really shows here, but in a good way. This album sounds exactly like two master artisans that have complete control of their craft. Everything is here – Humor, clever rhymes, political commentary, and top flight production. Your head will be bobbing the whole time you listen to this album and you'll make that face that jazz musicians make when they hear one of their bandmates playing a sick solo. This album hit me on a visceral level that no other album this year did with the exception of ……
1. Against Me! – Transgender Dyphoria Blues: If you know me at all, this shouldn't surprise you at all. It is everything a Bob's favorite album should be. A album filled with catchy aggressive guitar riffs and kick ass drumming. It is also a touching chronicling of lead singer's Laura Jane Grace's transition from male to female. Gender and sexuality are the obvious themes here, but the genius of this album is that it can serve as an anthem for a wide array of social issues as the overarching message is to just treat each other better. And lord knows we needed a lot more of that in 2014. Let's hope we take the message of this album to heart in 2015.

Skin Deep (Laura Blackstone, Book 1)
by Mark Del Franco
Cover Artist: Chris Cocozza
Review by Harriet Klausner
Ace Paperback ISBN/ITEM#: 9780441017430
Date: 28 July 2009 List Price $7.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Official Info /
When the Convergence occurred in the mid-twentieth century Faerie moved in to earth and even now humans fear what the Fae can do. Great Britain and the United States recognized Tara in Ireland as a sovereign nation with Queen Maeve as the ruler. The Celtic Danann has established the Guild to deal with human-Fae disputes and to police Fae or human-Fae related crimes on the local level. Intersec investigates crimes on an international level.
Laura Blackstone is the public relations director for the Fey Guild; Mariel Tate is InterSec's best field agent; and Janice Crawford is the backup druidess for the DC SWAT Squad. The three women are all actually Laura who uses glamour magic to change her appearance. Currently, she is working a drug bust that has gone badly. Two brownies are supposed to be guarding the meth house, but one of them is a deadly Inverni fairy with powers to match Laura. A fight ensues and the fairy escapes, but before Sanchez dies he tells her something. She is knocked out, but when she awakens she has forgotten what Sanchez told her. The Inverni, Alfrey is a radical who wants his kind to fight the Dannens for control of their species.
Laura is preparing an exhibition at the American Archives for Fae and Human even though she thinks one of her kind tried to kill Sanchez and her. She assumes they, whoever they are, believe Sanchez told her something that make them need to kill her. There is trouble brewing for the Fae and Laura thinks the archives are the key, but has no proof to back her contention. Only time will tell.
Mark Del Franco leaves his Conner Grey world to begin the Laura Blackstone saga with a terrific opening act that introduces the players and much more in an urban fantasy realm. This is an earth in which humans and Fae live and coexist in an uneasy peace though the newcomers have altered their appearance to keep from frightening the earthlings. The audience sees the Celtic Fae whose culture and belief system are filled with alliances and intrigue.
The heroine is a serious person, but her differing personas provide comic relief as she struggles to stay in character as each identity acts differently, but she has also confused them. She can be a bit frazzled when two or three of her identities are to appear at the same time (sort of like Clark Kent and Superman). The audience will admire her grit while also feeling a bit sorry for Laura who has no life it seems beyond balancing her three jobs. Even her three apartments are no more than temporary shelters as the nearest thing to a home to this workaholic is the Guild Hall.
Each of the personas tries to find out what trouble is brewing from rough elements of the Fae; she also knows she is in danger regardless of which person she is at that moment. The Fae are also a mixed bunch ranging from brownie, fairies, giants and boggarts, oh my; each enhances the belief that the Convergence occurred. Instead of the magic that readers expect of the Fae, Mr. Del Franco has them apply their essence drawn from the earth around them to do things which humans call magic. Laura and her people have no earthly idea why humans are afraid of their essence since she has no control over it and can't simply erase it to defy the laws of physics. Mr. Del Franco has opened up with a super character driven urban fantasy that will spellbind readers due to the heroine's essence drawing them to her.

You may not hear about it, but some of the best SEO work in recent years is being done by sites that are heralded as Social. Before I get to that, a bit of a rant…
A number of very popular, high-velocity sites renowned for their leveraging of social media have publicly dismissed the value of SEO. The Atlantic went so far as to claim that Facebook is "the most important entity in web journalism" and "we rarely see search engine optimized (SEO) stories anymore." If you believe for a second that they don't think about SEO, you are smoking Marion Barry vintage crack. I say this, not only because it's patently obvious it is considered, but because so many have called us.
More amusing, because we represent a significant chunk of online titles and educate their teams on SEO, I can assure you that many of the stories, the CMS's they are written on, the executives that pay for them, and the writers that write them ALL consider the value of SEO in the production of some of the most amazing content you are reading. Some do it better than others, but it's rare in 2015 that SEO isn't a stop on the factory floor.
You don't "see it" because great SEO isn't some voodoo, cloak-and-dagger endeavor. Great SEO is part of a greater User Experience being considered. When that User Experience breaks down anywhere, SEO directly falters because the engines…well, Google…have so much visibility into so many of the Internet's signals. To not consider SEO would be negligent.
Many of these All-Star Social sites have investors…from Angels to Venture Capital to later-stage private equity money. Quite a few have very seasoned investors, from Tier One money or strategically-important industry partners. If you don't think those guys care about consideration of every traffic channel to their investments…which largely monetize on page views…again, your crack must be high-grade.
Ivory Tower media assaults aside, let's look at five well-known sites that have done very well for themselves in the era of "clickbait" social media traffic…primarily, through the Facebook Share…while also quietly building more defensible, long-term SEO traffic in the background:
The first thing you notice is the size of Buzzfeed's SEO traffic. The second thing you should take away is the velocity in which it is growing. Buzzfeed's SEO audience is doubling every six months or so. That's pretty amazing for a publisher of that reach, even by the standards of equivalent-sized publishers who focus almost explicitly on SEO! Even more compelling is that this data is desktop-only. Add in mobile, where much of the growth in these categories resides, and it would be even more amazing.
So, as much as we have called out some of Buzzfeed's social dominance "research", hats off to Jonah Peretti and that entire team. Their backgrounds and their product clearly indicate they understand SEO beyond the fundamentals, even if it's not directly how they consider content success. They make many of our clients pretty damn nervous on several fronts, but it's exciting for Online Publishing aficionados to watch their evolution. Or maybe it's a revolution?
Among all the sites, you can see the reliance on Social traffic.
We often hear about Google's somewhat whimsical and punitive algorithms like Panda and Penguin. Yes, those two assessments can absolutely cripple your business, but publishers have had nearly four years to become familiar with those risks. Sites that are afflicted by Panda or Penguin are increasingly popping in and out of them as they regain control of their risk.
The biggest risk to these Social sites, and why they are lucky to be growing their recurring Search audiences, is that Facebook is aggressively trying to filter their reach through their News Feed. It is much more of a "pay-to-play" model now, where you may still get that reach if you want to whip out your wallet to boost that post.
This convoluted approach to scoring all Social traffic as "earned" is seriously disingenuous. Having been around a few investors and acquirers eyeing these types of content sites, they become much less attractive after seeing how much of that kitchy Social audience is bought and paid for.
As more of these sites are spun out, those once-impressive traffic acquisition margins are being compressed. Much like most of Paid Search is run at breakeven or even negative margin (that's another post for another day, but Paid Search is often run by CLTV instead of CPA at big brands), we may soon see Social or clickbait content sites run along the same fiscal lines to build longer term, defensible audiences. I'd be surprised if that wasn't happening at more than a few now. As that happens, expect to see the Direct traffic contributions increase for recurring earned audiences. This metric will differentiate which Sites live on as brands.
Taking a look at the other sites, this trend of SEO traffic becoming a meaningful channel to Social sites continues. Many are growing Organic Search audience at the same rate as Buzzfeed, albeit in lower absolute numbers.
So, why are these social, clickbaity sites doing so well with SEO? The answer is links. Social Media is a massive link building lever and your backlink profile is still the most heavily-weighted component of why you rank for something at the search engines.
A few sites, such as ViralNova, do a great job of creating highly-clickable, compelling Headlines while differentiating their Page Titles (the most heavily-weighted on-page factor) with keyword-rich, but still interesting content. Because these Page Titles then become the clickable link in the search results, they get clicked on at a high rate. This compounds the engagement metrics the engines are looking at to determine what is a good experience for their searchers.
While these sites may get lambasted by more "esteemed" media, at the end of the day they are creating content people are interested in and executing on several channels. They are taking the fight to the more antiquated publishers. Action always beats reaction.
Congratulations to these sites and the teams behind them. Now excuse me while I go start a few …

Its a hard problem and not many people are tacking it in the web development world. Heres some research into presenting content in different languages via HTML.
To frame the problem here is a good break down of the three technical issues:
There are three considerations for presenting HTML in non-English languages. First, that the document is delivered in the desired natural language (such as English, French, etc.) and dialect (US, British, etc.). Second, that the document is presented in the correct character set. This is a requirement for most Eastern languages (Russian, Japanese, etc.). Third, that the document is presented in the correct directionality. This is a consideration for languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese that are customarily written right-to-left or top-to-bottom.

The Spanish Basketball League (ACB) will be broadcast in Russia starting with the upcoming playoffs thanks to Russian cable leader NTV Plus, according to the EP. The ACB is now aired in 101 countries on four continents. ACB Dir General Albert Agustí "showed his satisfaction" and said, "With Russia we cover the last of the big territories we identified as part of the objective of our international expansion project. We began in '06 without a single international distribution and seven years later the Liga Endesa is present throughout most of the world." Agustí also "highlighted the channel that will cover the new territory." Agustí: "The TV partner is always a determining factor, and in this sense, the association with NTV Plus guarantees us that our visibility in the territory will be the best possible" (EP, 5/23).
BT is hoping to make "volunteering the next social movement," after signing up as the first commercial partner of the Olympic legacy charity Join In, according to John Reynolds of MARKETING MAGAZINE. Join In is a government-backed charity launched after the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, with the aim of running sports and other social events which tap into the fervor generated by the Olympics. The charity is headed up by former LOCOG Marketing Dir Greg Nugent and ex-ITV CEO Charles Allen. BT will "work closely with Join In to raise the profile of volunteering over the coming months and will provide volunteering opportunities at sports clubs and community groups" across the U.K. (MARKETING MAGAZINE, 5/23).
Seven West Media has netted the domestic broadcast rights for two "star-studded football matches" featuring ManU and Liverpool to be played in Australia, "as Ten Network's bid for Cricket Australia's media rights prompts soul-searching at rival Nine Network," according to Darren Davidson of THE AUSTRALIAN. Seven West Media Chair Kerry Stokes's company is understood to have acquired the rights to the A-League All Stars game against ManU and Melbourne Victory's match with Liverpool, "both to be played in July." Seven paid close to A$1M ($976,000) for the two-game package "after Fox Sports and Ten Network showed early interest but decided against making a firm offer." Media buyers said that advertisers "would pay a premium to advertise during the ad breaks in the one-off matches, which have already sold out." Seven "will screen the match on its primary channel, its digital channel 7mate, online, and on tablets and mobile devices" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 5/24). In Melbourne, Tom Smithies wrote it means "an A-League presence on free-to-air TV for the first time since Channel Ten showed David Beckham's LA Galaxy against Sydney FC" in '07 (HERALD SUN, 5/23).
TOUGH DECISION: Also in Melbourne, Robert Craddock wrote Channel Nine CEO David Gyngell "faces one of his biggest calls after being advised by key shareholders to drop out of the bidding for Australian cricket rights." Gyngell's sentimental link to Nine's 36-year hold on the rights "has become the pivotal factor of the final days of a protracted bidding war between channels Nine and Ten." Two U.S.-based hedge funds that are Nine's key shareholders believe that "the station should withdraw from the bidding" rather than match Ten's A$500M bid for the rights to int'l and domestic cricket. Such has been the ferocity of the bidding war that the station who gets the rights "will make a substantial annual loss, though the promotion of other programs and the status of being the national cricket broadcaster is significant compensation" (HERALD SUN, 5/24).
Barcelona was honored at the Social Star Awards 2013 as the best club in the world on social networks. Barcelona was one of four finalists including ManU, Chelsea and Real Madrid. The club's new technologies Dir Dídac Lee said, "This is a prize for each and every one of the fans and followers who give their unconditional support to Barcelona, game after game. This is just another example that Barcelona is the most beloved club in the world" (SPORT, 5/23). ... German documentary I Want To Run -- The Toughest Race In The World, Le Mans: Chasing the Dream, Blue Horizon, Soufian: Leo Messi's Idol and other movies will be showcased during the two-day Qatar Sports Film Festival, which is being organized jointly by The Youth Company and the Qatar Olympic & Sports Museum. It is the first event of its kind in the region (GULF TIMES, 5/22). ... The Int'l Cricket Council Thursday announced the official event website for the ICC Champions Trophy, which will be staged in England and Wales from June 6-23. The site is accessible on any device at www.icc-cricket.com (ICC, 5/23).

"Five years ago, Markus 'Notch' Persson and I started talking about a game we felt was missing in the gaming market. A game we desperately wanted to play, but was unable to as it had not yet been developed," wrote Mojang co-founder and Scrolls lead designer Jakob Porser on Mojang's Scrolls website. "The game we envisioned had elements from the collectible card game genre as well as from traditional board games. It would be a strategic game with a strong foundation in tactical game play but with a touch of random and chance guaranteeing a never-ending stream of curve balls," continued Porser.

I love this!
I can't believe you made this with that sample - you put it to good use!
I haven't heard a lot of dubstep on Newgrounds that I enjoy, but this is very easy to listen to, changes up often enough to stay interesting and not repetitive, and has a wonderful beat to it. The samples you used threw me off when I first listened to it - they didn't seem to belong. The more I listen to this though, the more I can't imagine the song without them. It's definitely not the typical, crappy dubstep that a lot of people in the audio portal seem to enjoy making, too. It stands out from that crowd.
I love the energy of this song, and think you should make more like it and experiment with this idea. Keep up the great work!
thanks man :)
Best Dubstep song ive heard yet! its AWSOME!!! Keep it up
haha thanks dude :) i got more tracks on the way

Your source that you chose to remix was incredibly short and did not any substance. However, your version that was drawn out into an entire song redeems the poor choice of source material. I found your song to be very easy to listen to and had many different feelings being illustrated. I am not a fan of dubstep-esque leads and grinding pads, but it sounds decent with a background of melody from other instrumentation. Good job on this. 7.5
Thanks dude. I guess choosing a random thing to "remix" hurt my scoring in a way but as long as you enjoyed what I created I think that is a plus for me. Was a fun contest for sure.

I will say this right off the bat, I am NOT a fan of dubstep, but I will still give this a fair review.
Personally I love the fact you took such a short loop to remix as it means you can do a ton with it while still maintaining some of the integrity of the original. An excellent choice. Also I don't even find this bad dubstep - it has a nice ponderous feel to it as it slowly drones in the bg. Everything is mastered beautifully and nothing feels out of place. The bass, instead of being the retarded wubs everyone favours, resembles more a rumbling machine, which I think is awesome.
Verdict- def did a good job of remixing this!
thanks so much :), glad you enjoyed this submission. i agree with your comments but the mastering is a little off when the kicks overlap from the original but meh, I think i did pretty good with what i had. I tried to make this more of a mysterious track, reliving memories of the past and reflecting on them. Very mellow and chill. I think it fit with the short loop quite nice.
I love what you did with it, it sounds sick. I think you might just win the contest with this one haha, good luck with the contest by the way. This is a great track either way.
haha idk about winning, the other entries are pretty good. yours has a good shot i think. thanks for the review :)
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.

WordPress or Blogger?
I read someplace that you should make rules for yourself when working on your own project like a graphic novel. One of my rules is to have a maximum of 4 panels per page unless it's the same camera angle repeated over and over. This repeated frame technique is pretty much inspired completely from working in the world of animation and storyboards for the last decade. Sometimes it's fun to explore a locked down sequence of frames to show the movements and visually explain how things happen over a period of time.
I guess my decisions here are mainly to show Victuals struggle to leave the comfort of the lighthouse to get back to the water. I'm hoping that my audience will wonder why he left the lighthouse as well as notice the first words coming from his mouth. Cat's talk?
Oh yeah, and I'm not using Comic Sans anymore.
Another thing I have been toying with is the idea of switching from Google's blogging service to WordPress.org. A few things have come up swaying me to go this route.
Here is a list of my reasons, so far, for switching from Blogger to WordPress.
- WordPress looks much more professional.
- Since it's open-source it has more options for how to set it up.
- Once it's set up right, it's amazing what you can do with it and it's easy.
- reMINDblog.com will be an actual domain instead of a forwarded domain name.
- All the content will be on my server and controlled by me.
- I can use ComicPress to easily display my pages in an orderly fashion.
- I can have a menu at the top with About, Contact, Links, Tutorials, Etc.
- Blogger is just SOOOOOO easy to setup, I will miss that.
- Now I need to pay for a server.
- Lots of my artist friends are on Blogger so I don't want to be an outcast. (don't laugh at me)
- I might have to start over trying to get traffic if I switch over.
