What we do
Using a vector clipping path service allows for an image to be removed from its original background so that it can be embedded into another background or be used without a background. After the photo clipping path process is complete, photo background can be flawlessly removed. The image can now be left without a background or can be placed in a different background.
It is often a burden to designers to process a heavy load of images losing focus for creativity while merely conducting image editing. Outsourcing this basic image editing task to Photo Clipping UK provides a cost-effective solution for fast processing.
Companies selling products often require the background to be removed from photos to be able to add these to their website or catalogue and ensure professionalism. Our service provides the cost-effective solutions for removing the background by adding an image clipping path on a large quantity of photos.
Once a product has been removed from it's background the often item needs to have a some shadow adding to make it look natural and finished as well as small modifications to improve clarity, blemishes or to remove logos. Our service can include editing of an image.

5 quick ways to boost your LinkedIn profile to get a dream digital job
LinkedIn feels like it's been around forever but in fact it only launched in 2003. It took until 2007/2008 for it to truly go global and push through the 10 million member mark but in the 10 years since it has grown massively. These days it has over 500 million members and was acquired by Microsoft in April 2017.
Quick, easy and impactful profile tips to land your new digital job
There are 10 million jobs posted on LinkedIn and 96% of recruiters use LinkedIn to vet potential candidates. If you are serious about finding a new job, networking or taking part in industry related debate then it's imperative that your LinkedIn profile is as good as it can be. Here are our 5 best tips to make sure your profile is presented professionally and to maximise your chances of landing the digital job you want.
When you join you are given a long an impersonal url with lots of numbers in it. Nothing wrong with that but its really really simple to change it to something better. What's better James Smith 24734653865 or James Smith?
To change your public profile URL:
For more information see this section in LinkedIn help that explains it in more detail.
You don't need a professional photo but you must not have an unprofessional one. Pictures of your cat, your children, drinking beer or wine or wearing your English Civil War reenactment uniform should be saved for Facebook. Often you can use one you may have on your current employer's website. If not it's simple enough to take one with a smartphone and upload it via the LinkedIn app. Remember, wear clothing and pose appropriately to reflect your industry or the type of company you are working for.
The background image (which sits just about your profile image) can only be added via desktop and it's slightly trickier (technical term) in terms of making sure it's the right size and so on. This LinkedIn help section explains how to do it step by step. For the actual image the same rules apply as your profile photo although there may be a bit more license to be more creative. If you work in financial services in a big city then you could use a cityscape, if you work in agriculture then the countryside. You get the idea (but no cats or hobby related photos).
It sounds obvious but keeping your experience up to date makes a big difference. The important thing is to keep on top of it even if you're not actively looking for new job. Too often we speak to candidates that only update their profile when they're ready (or are forced) to look for another job. Recruiters are looking for candidates all the time to fill jobs they are recruiting for. You may not be actively be job hunting but be aware that a new digital job might come your way even if you're not looking.
Members with "up to date" positions are discovered up to 18x more in searches by members and recruiters
Your profile is all about letting others know what your skills are so they can match you to the right job or networking opportunities. 5 is the minimum you should be aiming for since members with 5 or more skills listed are contacted (messaged) up to 33x more by recruiters and other LinkedIn members, and receive up to 17x more profile views.
Make sure your skills are listed in order of the strengths you want to be known for. LinkedIn automatically targets endorsers for those top skills you've prioritized, and the more endorsements you have for your skills the higher you rank in search results.
Ask previous employees or colleagues for endorsements and be prepared to write some in return.
A summary is an elevator pitch for yourself and lets you tell your story - who you are, your experience, what you are interested in and the goals you would like to achieve. A summary of 40 words or more makes it more likely to be found in a search.

Greenfingered Caistor residents have won the town a gold medal at East Midlands in Bloom - for an incredible fifth year in a row.
Talented group Caistor In Bloom picked up gold in the large village category.
And if that was not enough, Caistor company Systematic Print Management won silver in the retail/commercial premises category and the town's White Hart Hotel won silver in the best pub/hotel garden or display category.
Caistor In Bloom chairman Deborah Barker said: "We're very chuffed.
"It's hard keeping that momentum going on year after year."
Judges were impressed with the town's abundance of floral displays.
And they awarded a special prize to Caistor In Bloom member Neil Birks for his voluntary work within the community and commitment to the group.
Ms Barker said the group won a maximum 50 out of 50 points in the 'community involvement' category.
She said: "We're very proud.
"We've got a very strong community in Caistor."
And Caistor In Bloom's work has even impressed MP Sir Edward Leigh.
He said: "It is obviously a real achievement for volunteers and local residents that they have won this award yet again; showing their commitment to the local community."
Systematic Print Management managing director Chris Robey is "delighted" with his firm's silver award - and said it is all down to warehouse manager Bob Johnson.
He said: "Bob takes a 'special interest' in keeping the grounds of the business looking good.
"He puts a great deal of time and energy into it.
"This is all down to him. We're delighted.
Mr Robey said Mr Johnson does litter picking and looks after two trees as well as a display of hanging baskets.
And to celebrate its 40th anniversary in April, the company planted some daffodils - and gave away 4,000 bulbs.
Mr Robey said: "We had quite a magnificent display of daffodils in the spring.
"But we only do a fraction of the work Caistor In Bloom does.
"There's so many people in Caistor who do so much for the community.
"There are some very dedicated people who give up a lot of time and energy.
"The Caistor In Bloom team are amazingly hard working.
"They're constantly out and about to make Caistor look fantastic.
"To get gold in the large village category really is a tribute to them."
Caistor will now go forward to the Britain in Bloom competition.
The results will be announced at a ceremony in Sunderland on October 16.
At the time of going to press the Rasen Mail had been unable to contact the White Hart.

The waves are raging into Sydney today. I knew we had a bit of swell on the way but what's turned up this morning caught me by surprise. It's not the size, it's the sheer volume of energy that's pushing through! It's a powerful swell with more sets than lulls!
The direction is dead south and the wind is howling from the Sou-West so your options are fairly limited.
It'd be easy to write-off this morning session as a closeout. But, if you put in the time and pick your moment, every now and then something of interest pops up. Pick a left with the right taper and you might lock yourself into something seriously hollow (Jordan in picture #2). Or select a right side of a peaky one and there's a chance to rip one decent turn a-la George in picture #5. You've got to be out there to find them!
I'm off to Bali for a few days this afternoon. Tune in for a post or two from the Island of the Gods.

Selling Boldly: Applying the New Science of Positive Psychology to Dramatically Increase Your Confidence, Happiness, and Sales
Selling Boldly: Applying the New Science of Positive Psychology to Dramatically Increase Your Confidence, Happiness, and Sales
ISBN: 978-1-119-43635-5 March 2018 288 Pages
Fear is the reason most salespeople don't like to pick up the phone (salespeople average just four hours per week on the phone, and our job is to talk to humans!).
Fear is the reason we don't ask for the business more, even though our customers want to buy from us.
Fear is the reason we don't offer our customers additional products and services, even though they would love to buy more from us.
This book deals with that fear.
You will learn exactly how to overcome this destructive fear in sales, and replace it with confidence, optimism, gratitude, joy, and proactive sales work. These are the powerful principles in the new field of positive psychology which are transforming how we work and succeed. Selling Boldly is the first book that leverages positive psychology to help you sell more.
You'll also learn a series of fast, simple sales-growth techniques—like how to add on to existing orders; and how to close 20% more quotes and proposals instantly; and how to properly ask for and receive referrals—that will grow your sales…dramatically and quickly.
Alex Goldfayn's clients grow their sales by 10-20% annually, every year, as long as they apply his simple approaches.
I am not going to teach you much in this book that you don't already know.
You're a professional salesperson. You do this for a living. You know, for example, that testimonials and referrals are among the best ways we have to grow sales, right? But do you ask for them enough? Most people don't.
You know that calling a customer on the phone is more effective than emailing her, but you still often revert to email.
You know your customers buy other products and services that you can help them with, but you don't ask them about these products. You'd like to help them, and they would like more of your help — that is why they've been with you for five or ten or twenty years — but nevertheless we don't ask them.
There is a difference between knowing what to do, and actually doing it.
I know you know.
With Selling Boldly, we start to do what we already know. We will cover what keeps us from doing these things (fear), how to overcome it (by listening to your happy customers), and how to implement these simple but powerful sales growth techniques (by briefly planning them, also doing them).
Because sales growth comes from doing, not knowing.
Today, we start doing.
And growing.
These approaches are laid out in this book, in precise detail, for you to implement in your own work.
Alex doesn't hold anything back in this manual for selling more.
What's the secret to selling more?
There is no secret.
There is no magic bullet.
There is only the work.
There are only the mindsets, and the communications.
In Selling Boldly, Alex teaches readers how to attain these mindsets, and how to implement these communications, so that sales have no choice but to grow!

Linden Labs has decided to voice their displeasure at the recent immigration executive Order from President Trump. Usually at Kultivate we shy away from political reporting, but as we exist in the virtual world of Second Life, which is owned and operated by Linden Labs, we felt that posting this is one of the exceptions of the political rule. You can read the entire statement below:
We at Linden Lab are extremely disappointed in and adamantly opposed to Trump's recent executive order on immigration. We reject racism, intolerance, and xenophobia.
We are proud to include immigrants among our leadership, colleagues, and customers, as well as our families, friends, and communities. We value diversity, compassion, and understanding, and we are proud that our products enable people to come together and form meaningful connections regardless of differences in their offline lives.
Trump's order is counter to what we value and antithetical to American ideals. We join the many voices calling on the US government to remove this restriction as quickly as possible and to refrain from imposing additional barriers that threaten opportunities for immigrants, under-represented minorities, and women.

Super Bowl LII will be Exciting to Watch

The Philadelphia Eagles will face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, Feb. 4. (Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)
The New England Patriots if they can win Super Bowl LII hope to match this magic number of 6 this time. In contrast the NFC Champions this year the Philadelphia Eagles have never won a Super Bowl game but could the saying "Third time is a charm" apply to them this time, wonders Ras H. Siddiqui.
The National Football League (NFL) will be holding its biggest annual event, Super Bowl LII (Fifty Two in Roman Numerals) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Feb. 4, at 6:30 Eastern Time (3:30 Pacific). It is going to be a good matchup with the almost invincible New England Patriots of the American Football Conference (AFC) going up against the underdog Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football Conference (NFC). The game will be broadcast on NBC. And for those not into football, Leslie Odom Jr. will perform "America the Beautiful" during the pre-game festivities and our national anthem will be performed by Pink. The Halftime entertainment is slated to feature headliner Justin Timberlake (and one wonders if Janet Jackson will also make an appearance?) and possibly some other high-profile entertainers too.
The Super Bowl has been one of the single highest profile and viewed sporting events in America. The first one was played in 1967 in Los Angeles, during which the Green Bay Packers of the NFL (founded in 1920) beat the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League or AFL (founded in 1960) by a score of 35-10. The Packers also won the next Super Bowl in Miami, Florida by defeating the Oakland Raiders 33-14. The Green Bay Packers Coach at the time was Vince Lombardi and his contribution to the game of football is remembered today through the Vince Lombardi Trophy which the winning team of the Super Bowl takes home. The NFL-AFL officially merged under the NFL umbrella before the 1970 season with two Conferences (AFC & NFC) created. For our readers, this was just a bit of trivia as we make our way to the present and the game to be played in Minnesota.
The team which has won the most Super Bowls to date, the Pittsburgh Steelers (they have won 6) got close again this year but were stopped by the Jacksonville Jaguars in their quest to reach the AFC championship. The New England Patriots if they can win Super Bowl LII hope to match this magic number of 6 this time. They already have 5 wins from their record 10 appearances in this game. The San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys are the only two other teams in NFL history to have won 5 Super Bowl games. In contrast the NFC Champions this year the Philadelphia Eagles have never won a Super Bowl game and they did actually lose to the Patriots in a close one (24-21) in the year 2005. Their only other appearance in this game thus far was their loss to the Oakland Raiders in 1981. But could the saying "Third time is a charm" apply to them this time?
To get some idea on predicting the outcome of this coming Super Bowl game it would be best to look at how the Patriots and the Eagles performed in their AFC and NFC divisional and championship games. So, let us first look at the Eagles and then we will turn to the Patriots and their attempt to tie Pittsburgh as the most winning Super Bowl team of all time. And in the process, we will also briefly touch the phenomenal career of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
In the NFC divisional round held during the January 13-14 weekend the Philadelphia Eagles came out ahead of the Atlanta Falcons 15-10. It was a respectable showing in this low scorer, while the Minnesota Vikings defeated the New Orleans Saints 29-24 setting the stage for the NFC conference championship game, Jan. 21. Some had predicted that with the added incentive for the Vikings (since the Super Bowl was to be held in their home town) that they would overcome the Eagles! That did not become a reality as the Philadelphia Eagles decided to enter the Super Bowl like a whirlwind, convincingly beating Minnesota 38-7 and in the process becoming NFC champions.
The AFC divisional round was somewhat more interesting. While the Jacksonville Jaguars overcame the Pittsburgh Steelers 45-42 in an excitingly close offensive battle, New England eliminated the Tennessee Titans rather easily with a 35-14 victory. It was the Patriots-Jaguars AFC championship that proved to be exciting except for the fact that the Jaguars somehow lost all their momentum in the 4th quarter and were defeated in a close game with a final score of 24-20. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the only NFL team owned by a South Asian (Shahid Khan) and the team's rapid rise from being amongst the lowest performers in the NFL to being able to play in a championship game has been remarkable. Unfortunately, in this crucial matchup they just could not finish well and Tom Brady and his team did what they have historically done. They came back from a deficit and clinched victory from the jaws of defeat!
These playoff encounters have set the stage for the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles to face each other in Super Bowl LII. But who should we support? If we want the underdogs to win then it will be the Eagles we will be cheering for. Let us hope that they can somehow pull a rabbit out of a hat during this game, because the Patriots will do everything they can to win. New England wants to tie Pittsburgh's record of 6 wins and also be known as the greatest football team in history, along with Tom Brady's quest to become the finest quarterback of all time (if he is not already, since this will be his record 8th Super Bowl appearance).
South Asian-American Desi football fans should get their chai and samosa orders placed for Feb. 4, if they are not ordering pizza and other beverages. This Super Bowl is between teams who have entered this game with the exact same record of wins and losses for the season. The Patriots already know how to play in big games and have an edge there, but they have a reputation to maintain and will be under pressure while the Eagles will show up with nothing to lose except for the game itself.

Andujar reviews recordsSend me your vinyl! firstname.lastname@example.com for more info.
Here I present my column of insight into the deep, deep world of funk (and beyond) music. Here is the place where I can thank the bands and labels who provide me with so much good music. Here I am giving a direct, honest review of how my ears and person react to these fresh-pressed sounds. Here I shall admire all for the attempts to brighten life, regardless of my snot-nosed opinions!
Here I present my column of insight into the deep, deep world of funk (and beyond) music. Here is the place where I can thank the bands and labels who provide me with so much good music. Here I am giving a direct, honest review of how my ears and person react to these fresh-pressed sounds. Here I shall admire all for the attempts to brighten life, regardless of my snot-nosed opinions!
My apologies to those labels who I promised reviews and I am late. here they are, with more forthcoming.
Electric Cowbell, specialists in eclectic 45s
---One of my favorite labels is Jimmy Thomson's (mostly) 45 label Electric Cowbell. This operation couldn't pass any more tests for me. 45rpm 7" with big holes? Check. Wacky sleeves? Check. Interesting, eclectic and leftfield music? Check. Old skool DIY feel? Check. Cowbell as label logo? How cool is that? 2012 has seen more nuggets added to their fine legacy.
---NYC retro-boogaloo outfit Spanglish Fly bring us their 2nd EC disk, including a sexy bicycle-riding anthem that I'd love to play next to Queen's "Bicycle Race" 45 some day (there's a fun edition with "Fat Bottomed Girls" on the B, with sleeve photo capturing the spirit of both tunes in one single shot...but enough about Queen). There's a cop story theme called "The Po-Po" that worked well next to Blaxploitation sounds one day on Clandestino. And these guys are a lot of fun live, with a swinging horn section, seductive lead vocalist and good time party vibe. Looking forward to hearing the forthcoming Harvey Averne-produced recordings.
---I unfortunately had to miss Brooklyn's Super Hi Fi when they rolled thru Bishop's Lounge in June but I still obtained these cuts of live dub action. While the concept here isn't anything groundbreaking, it is a sound that I truly get into and I imagine it is quite impactful with the band live right in front of you. That was the first single. The split 7" (aw, the old two band split 7", a classic idea that the Cowbell rolls with on occasion) offers more classic dub moves, but maybe they took a bigger hit off the chalice this time, with a visit to deep space near the end of the side. On the flip Seattle's Polyrhythmics deliver some lyrical horns via a Budos vibe. Lots of bands are doing it, but judging from this (and "The Imposter" on Kept Records) they can do it as well as anyone.
---Chico Trujillo are a fun Chilean band that first came to my attention from the Grupo Fantasma guys raving about them to me. This single is a split release with Barbés Records. It makes sense that it would take two whole record labels to wrestle these motherfuckers into doing a record because the tempo on "Gran Pecador" is enough to get anybody into next-day hangover territory. That's how much fun it is. Like a Gypsy brass band playing an amped-up cumbia at a punk rock show, it is no sin to dance to this one. (Okay, maybe it is. That's why you will do it at the next party when I splat this platter on the decks. Can't wait to test it). "Caleta Vargas" sounds like a chicha-inspired spy soundtrack with some ska sprinkled in. This single is one of the year's best. Great pic sleeve too.
---Orquesta el Macabeo is a Puerto Rican band that took 5 labels to wrangle a 7" out of, but oh was it worth it! Sort of a funk/prog-salsa (I made that genre up in my head after hearing Cortijo's Time Machine--and it continues with groups like Bio Ritmo) jam with mucho sabor on the horns, electric piano and enough cowbell to be worthy of release on this label. Some of this reminds me of the funkier Fania stuff. Top shelf. My only disappointment here is with the lack of the big hole in the middle of the 45 itself.
---CSC Funk Band's tribute to Guru & Gang Starr ("A Little Weight"/"A Little Planet") is a killer funk single with awesome sound quality. Seriously funky drumbeats all over the damn thing! The B-side has some sticky guitar and some kind of Eastern-sounding reed (is it an oboe?). This record is funky and hip-hop enough that I hope they get some rappers over these beats soon.---No BS Brass Band offer two sides of joyous blasts on their Electric Cowbell release. The version of "Take On Me" by A-Ha is just cheesy enough to put a smile on the face and it must be a showstopper when they play it to a live audience. But they prove to have a few more tricks up their sleeve as evidenced by the funky and wild jam "Dr Wily" on the flip. Menacing tuba and a New Orleans-meets-Eastern Europe-meets Looney Tunes concoction is my favorite of the two cuts.
---Electric Cowbell do nothing but put out great fucking records, one after another.
Ethio hardcore
---Sublime Frequencies have released one of the most killer 45s I've heard all season with Hayvanlar Alemi's punkish uptempo take on Mulatu's Ethiopian classic "Yekermo Sew". This really fits my prediction some years back of an Ethio hardcore sound that has since been transmitted by the likes of Debo Band, The Ex and now these guys. Call me a dreamer but beefier guitars seem to be working well with this music, no? The group improv cut on the flip is further inspiration to check out their full length album. A contemporary band from Turkey rewarding us with anti-border purpose and we all can benefit. Fucking hot.
Memphis Soul
---Memphis Soul...An obscure 70s band with a raw (raw, yes) jaunt into the soul underground. This greasy venture featured the original drummer from Dyke & the Blazers (who stand as major figures in my love for true school R&B). "Don't Down Me People" is a severely direct deep funk number that takes up two sides. No info given on the group but I would be pleased to hear more from these sessions, shall something fruitful transpire. A very cool 45rpm release from The Numero Group.
Synchro-Rhythmic Ecclectic Language
---Jazzman--I picked up the recent 45 issue of Louis Xavier & Synchro-Rhythmic Ecclectic Language. Two long (and good) cuts of soul jazz. "Sipote" doesn't really give any indication of a Caribbean artist at work (Xavier originally hails from Martinique) but there's no denying this funky tune. "Suite" sounds like if Sun Ra produced a Oneness of Juju record in Africa. This is afro-jazz for an active dancefloor. The 45 sounds a bit muddy but is well worth a good spin. Give me more from this sound, please.
Good times at Dust & Grooves/Trópicalia In Furs party
---I attended a happening party at East Village vinyl spot Trópicalia In Furs (E 5th, btwn 1st & 2nd...across from the police station) for a cool event for Eilon Paz and his Dust & Grooves mission to make a photo book about record collectors, with some great shots of his subjects on the wall of this joint, which was HOT and PACKED but totally fun with DJs and a surprise set from hipster duo Hank & Cupcakes. It was great to see so many friendly faces. One of these was Joel Oliveira, the shop's owner and a subject of Eilon's who graciously allowed the party to happen in his spot. I made damn sure to pick up Joel's new 45 with his group Fumaça Preta. The single contains a searing hot Portugese-language version of one of my favorite tunes, "The Witch" ("A Bruxa") by The Sonics. This shit has funky drums powering it with appropriately tortured (and reverbed) vocals. The B-side is a groovy garage-psych number with a funky bassline and lots of sound effects and excellent percussion. It appeals to me almost like a lost Lee Perry session, except one that would involve an Am Rep band. (Look that one up kids). The lock-groove (and there are always bonus points for a lock groove) is a phone tone. Dutch label Music With Soul put the thing out, and while I've never heard of these folks, I can appreciate the concept through the label name as well as the ripping music. I hope to hear more from both Fumaça Preta and Music With Soul. 500 press, some on colored vinyl, some with sleeves (not mine, unfortunately). Recommended.
Daptone hit parade
---The soul 45 hit parade keeps rolling out of Daptone Studio and I had to get with a couple of cover tunes by Charles Bradley (on their Dunham subsidiary). This charming version of Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" is backed by the Menahan St Band and emits some classy horn lines. I was certainly thrilled to hear it note-perfect at the Green River Fest this year. "In You I Found A Love", the b-side, takes a dark run thru a lonely night of heartbreak.On yet another platter by Bradley he gives us a legitimately inspired rendition of Nirvana's "Stay Away". Now I wonder if Bradley was actually a fan of the band when they were around? I couldn't say that Nirvana (or most covers of them) truly excite me in any major way but I am digging this psych-tinged version. B-side is the instrumental extention of the theme. Good stuff.
Diggin' the Colemine
---Colemine Records keeps on the 45 trail with Il Carbonaro. I always thought the Budos Band had a little Morricone in them, a little doom metal and a little afrobeat. This latest project from the songwriting team of Car-Del productions (Budos related/produced) brings us Il Carbonaro's single with another cinematic funk track "High Noon" and the reggae gem "Amigo de la Fuerte". Both tunes feature reggae elements and the dubby horns are a highlight for my inner membranes. I will try the b-side, with its eery melodica passages for my next reggae crowd (certainly stoned).
-----Another fun 45 pairs a couple of West Coast funk bands to good measure. The Monophonics offer a funky workout with organ and bluesy guitar. The hand percussion fills in nicely and when the horns do their thing you feel like you are in the right place. "Like Yesterday" should be the band's motto. I recommend their 60s-flavored funk LP available on Ubiquity. Destruments may share a member or two with the Monos, have a dark, yet sophisticated Blaxploitation feel to the cut here, with some jazzy flute. Not quite for a high energy dancefloor, this would fit in best with some Budos-type grooves. The vibes and synth give it a truly psychedelic flavor. Another smoky one from Colemine.
Funk kicks
---Record Kicks is a funk/soul label out of Milan, Italy that brings us music from all over the international soul scenes, representing their artists here with full length albums. Third Coast Kings out of Michigan give us a party funk sound (and a hell of a party this band could bring)! "Roughneck" is a wah-funk killer, the hard funk of "On The Reel" will surely rock you. "Tonic Stride" gets appropriately dirty. A tight band with a spot-on horn section will bring you where you need to be every time out. Can't wait to see them live.
---Sydney-based Dojo Cuts are yet another exciting exponent of the soul scene in Australia. Whether it is really a unified scene or not I wouldn't know 'cause I ain't never been there. But what I do know is that several labels are taking chances on bands from The Get Down Under. The likes of Alice Russell (now in the UK), Transatlantics, The Bamboos, Shaolin Afronauts, Dojo Cuts, etc are proof enough of major things happening. Dojo's latest album Take From Me features well-recorded funk and soul numbers played with precision. And Roxie Ray's voice is always a highlight. "I'd Rather Go Blind" proves they can play the blues better than any young American band. "Take From Me" is the late night cigarette of wonder-ahead.
Wild Belle
---Wild Belle --Natalie Bergman and her brother Elliot (along with some other members of Nomo) give us a cool nu-reggae floater with "Keep You", bari sax providing fire and some felt lyrics. I know the feeling: always we give and yet we struggle to get. "Take Me Away" sounds like something McCartney should cover if he knew what was good for him. Get this 12" EP from Sandhill Sound.
Cultures of Soul, Massachusetts represent!
The Cultures of Soul label digs up rare soul, as well as present a few newer artists. Several of the tunes issued on COS are made in Massachusetts.
---Fine soul singer Jordan Valentine & her Sunday Saints, out of Boston, do a beautiful, soulful take on "Tell Me What's On Your Mind" (Cyril Neville & the Meters, comp: Nocentelli). "Follow Me" is a gritty funk song. Both tunes appeal to me, good recording, nice horns and Jordan's powerful voice. 1000 press. Her ten-track CD features these cuts and other excellent tunes, including Etta's "Seven Day Fool" and Titus Turner's "Grits Ain't Groceries", as well as several originals. And may I add that the artist gave her own CD a nice design on the graphics? Clearly a soulful agenda and I'd love to hear the band live some time soon.
---Chicago funk band Fabulous Fugitives ('75) up next. "What The World Needs Today" is a conscious funk groover with crisp and tight drumming. "You Made Me Cry" is a danceable one with nice keys and a better vocal than the A-side. Transferred from vinyl.
---The Roy Roberts disk probably hits me the deepest of all that came in the package. This 45 contains "So Much In Love", a circa 1970-sounding soul tune that is completely new to me and is stunningly sublime. His delivery just oozes soul and makes the pedestrian lyrics seem honest. Sounds like an inspired song to me. After a smooth intro the B-side, "You Move Me", proves to be a tougher groove with gritty soul guitar and congas. Harder driving and no less great. Highly recommended single.
---I was excited to have finally gotten my long-desiring hands on a copy of Kelenkye's Moving World LP, via a recent Superfly reissue. And to find some unreleased material on the super cool format of double 7" (pic sleeve) was further treat. Presented here as Afro Kelenkye Band, and in association with Voodoo Funk, we get four cuts of sophisticated afro-funk, including the fantastic "Mother Africa" with a near perfect execution of bliss-- Jagger Botchway's gorgeous guitar melodies over polyrhythms galore. The group is tight and the horns are dancing all over the record. This Ghanaian band continues to delight me. Anyone who shares my unsatiable ear for 70s West African funk should look into this one.
---World's Funkiest Covers is a pretty big claim. So happens I am an expert in cover songs and a lover of funk from around the world. So let's investigate. The opening cut is an obscure late 60's Chicago soul band (Johnny Jones & the King Casuals) digging into "Purple Haze". Possibly the first artist from the R&B scene to record Jimi's original, the notes list a '68 date. A good listen but it doesn't top my secret selection for the tune. Following this are a German ensemble called Mighty Mo & the Winchester Seven (a Mocambo thing) offering a go-go inspired version of Grandmaster Flash's "The Message". Fruko's pet project Afrosound show up with "Jungle Fever", a tune that annoys me as a cover version as much as the OG (I don't prefer to hear orgasms on vinyl) and is also very much still in print with my homeboy DJ Bongohead's Afrosound of Colombia collection on Vampisoul. Fruko (con sus Tesos) continues with a psych-tinged version of New Swing Sextet's "Bang Bang". Alice Russell & Nostalgia 77 appear with "Seven Nation Army". (Personally I would've welcomed Grant Phabao's reggae remix of this cut more so than the version presented here.). Mongo Santamaria's version of "Cloud Nine" certainly pleases but is easily available on original LP. Ray Barretto's version of Stevie's "Pastime Paradise" is by no means rare and is somewhat a departure for Mr Hard Hands. A disco era funk-jazz cut with electric piano and a smooth vocal delivery, the tune is a classic of its time and I think I like the song a lot more than many of my friends. Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra have a fun time with Spoon's "I Turn My Camera On". I couldn't tell you what the original sounds like as I've never heard it. The obligatory "Light My Fire" does nothing to entice me. CD issue contains two extra tracks. I would love to compile volume two.
---Other goodies include a single by Boston area soul/funk band Original Black Sheep of the Family (unissued recordings from '78). I hope to keep up with the Cultures of Soul output.
Monsters of Nigerian rock
---Hot Casa-- Hear me now, I heard a great under-the-radar African reissue this year. Keni Okulolo played bass in Nigerian heavyweights MonoMono and even recruited band mate Friday Jumbo (congas) and trombonist Fred Fisher for a hot 33rpm big-hole 7" of slamming phaser'd Motherland disco funk. Despite less than superior sound quality and presentation, this is a slice of fantastic music, although crisper and on the 12" format would be desired. Perhaps the masters were non-existent? Hey, I'm not complaining. I love African funk. Recommended, especially for the blisteringly great composition "Call Me A Fool Today (I'll Be Wise Tomorrow)", located on the B-side.
---And while we're at it, Hot Casa's reissue of BLO's Step Three LP was quite a needed action. One of the first rock bands in Nigeria, their material leaned more and more toward the funk side of the tracks as time went on. A phenomenally awesome band with ace guitarist (and lead songwriter) Ike "Berkely" Jones standing out, their catalog reveals gem after gem all the way til the late 70s when they took on overtly disco influences. This album, the band's third, was originally released in '75 on Afrodisia, which I believe was a Nigerian subdivision of a major British label. I think an Afrodisia anthology with perspective on one of the greatest 70s African labels is in due order. On this disk, BLO are still ripping heavy afro-rock, albeit with less of a Cream influence as on their earlier work and definitely more on the funky side. There are some Moog moves for those spirited (such as myself). Stoner funk goes a long way with me, especially with authentic Afro percussion.
---I picked up a couple of Record Store Day special 45s, the series that pairs an OG classic with a cool cover version. I like that they keep the original labels on the wax. The first in the series I got was the Carolina Chocolate Drops covering "You Be Illin'", with the Run DMC original on the flip. The Drops offer quite a unique take on the string band tradition, with an ancient-to-the-future approach. Kazoos, rattles, banjo, etc make for a radically different arrangement of the 80s rap classic of my youth. The labels on this record are actually wrong, with the Run DMC Profile label on the CCD side.
---The other I picked up in this "Side by Side" series features the original (uncensored) version of MC5's "Kick Out The Jams", a proto-punk classic, paired with Afrika Bambaataa's 1986 electro-rock rendition. Bam can do no wrong in my opinion, being the citizen that he is (give him the Nobel Peace Prize!), and I can just picture the former gang leader in his jean jacket screaming away into the mic. My main complaint with this series is this: The awful thick gross slipsleeves that house the records actually MELTED into the records in the July humidity in my squat and therefore ruined the fucking records. And Record Store Day is kind of a hokey gimmick anyway.
Belated issue
---Truth & Soul recently dropped an interesting 7" of African Music Today. I'm pretty sure "today" means at least several years ago. Whatever the case with the origins of this idea, the music is pretty fucking funky. Lots of polyrhythms for the serious dancers. If heavy afro breaks in short-length format are your thing then you couldn't go wrong with these four cuts crammed onto a 33rpm 7". "King Mazaru" is a pulsing afrobeat jam, Original Brothers add a spicy Ethio-inspired nugget. The single is tied into a CD full length. Some background info would answer some questions. Nice sleeve, front & back.
Sahel Sounds
---What a treat to hear some rare Mauritanian music from 1970. A single on Sahel Sounds and Mississippi Records shows us guitarist El Hadrmy in action. Any info provided is in Arabic. Tasty lo-fi bootleg-quality North African beat music. The guitar is just gorgeous, the flute makes a nice melodic partner and a rock & roll influence is certainly detected. Cover shows pics of Hadrmy rocking out and people drinking tea. Anyone into psych guitar fused into ethnic musics should give an ear.
---Mdou Moctar is from Niger and reportedly had a huge underground hit in West Africa in recent times with "Tahoultine", a bassy but rootsy song with some nice strings and a heartbeat pulse. Believe or not, the Autotune voice is actually quite welcome in this context and works in the stew naturally. A fantastic surprise! You should give it a chance. A remix on the B-side takes it into space (or at least some dark urban underground club.) Both sides are out-of- left-field cool sounds. 500 press in a funky stamped brown thin sleeve, released in conjunction with Boomarm Nation/Sahel Sounds.
Jungle Fever---My Western Mass homie Mike P of Mass Trópicas has been the go-to guy for deep jungle sounds out of the Peruvian Amazon. Sensación Shipibo treats us to syn-drum cumbia with lots of reverb, especially on the vocals. This is a raw production, which of course works great. The band consumes ayahuasca before their gigs. I can see why Mike got himself hooked on this stuff. This single looks punk as fuck and came inside a Los Jharis LP (review next time).
---A pic sleeve 7" featuring the voice of Carlos Ramirez Centeno is another grip of cumbias. I believe these are old tunes by different groups featuring Centeno. Pretty fun stuff. Mikey P loves his Amazónian cumbia as much as he does his Colombian hardcore. Dude's got an appetite for wacky tunes and a Peruvian wife who may find all this silly. Credit him.
Voodoo Funk
---A sweet series of singles with the trusted Voodoo Funk stamp have upped the ante for awesome West African 45 reissues. In addition to the aforementioned Kelenkye 2x7" (as well as a handful of stellar LPs), we are overjoyed to be able to hear such groups as Stoneface & Life Everlasting, Tex Soul & the Bayonets and The Apostles (yeah, I've never heard of 'em either). Raging 70s afro combos and good presentation (nice sleeves!) give you a sure chance for success. The fact that these are put out by US labels make them cheaper for those Stateside to acquire. And knowing what a shit hole the USA is, an $8 list price for some heavy fucking music is a reasonable price.
---The Stoneface record is from Nigeria ca '73 and fits right in with a lot of the psych and funk influenced Afro Combos that were active at the time on many college campuses. Side one "Love is Free" has a hippy vibe to it, which is certainly charming. But the flipside switches into a gruffer-voiced affair with voodoo rhythms. I definitely want to hear the remaining tunes the band recorded.---The first thing that jumps out about The Apostles single is how loud the pressing is. Just the way we like it here! The band reminds me of MonoMono and other Nigerian rock bands of the time. Awesome and deep rhythms, driving organ, psych guitar and a vocalist belting it out with hard-edged soul. This is my kind of music. Both tunes are crucial.
---The orange-covered single by Nigerian ensemble Tex Soul & the Bayonets are another unknown combo who are not lacking in talent and songmanship. More guitar/organ combo and heavy percussion driving this sucker. The bassline on "Osi na Ngada" kills me.
Off the Grid
---Finally we go off the funk grid completely with an off-the-grid concept. Craig Colorusso is a musician/artist/instrument-builder and ex-football player who created several solar-powered tone generators. The Sun Boxes, as they are known, each have a pre-recorded note with intensity driven by the life-giving sun. These lovely wood boxes drink in the warmth and deliver various changing improvisations depending on positioning and sun action. The whole concept, when witnessed in person, is truly astonishing and highly recommended. The 7" (along with CD, digital download and cellphone app) offers the joys of the Boxes sonic movement, as slight as it may be at times. A "mellow" listen on a great idea. Craig wants to hit all 50 states with the Sun Boxes. Coming to a field or canyon near you.http://www.sun-boxes.com/
See ya next time!

I have been working on a set of simpler dog-breed memorial silhouette cuttings with wording, and I just got the first batch up on Etsy this morning. Bernese Mountain Dog, Rough Collie, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Samoyed. More coming soon!
Memorialize a beloved companion, celebrate the dogs you love, or gift a friend who lost a loved one. One hand-cut paper silhouette-style dog portrait with mosaic-cut heart and wording. These dog pieces are my original designs from photos I have taken and sketches I have made, and are cut individually by hand with a craft knife. Since the pieces are cut by hand and the mosaic design is cut free-hand, the layout may vary slightly from piece to piece- the pieces pictured above are just samples.
I only cut one piece of a breed design at a time, so if your breed is pictured/listed but not available, someone else probably just got to it first and I am likely in the process of re-cutting the design. Feel free to reach out and let me know you are waiting for it, and I can make sure it is at the top of my list.
You will receive the cutting itself with no attached backing or matting, packaged to keep it from being bent or damaged in transit. Cuttings are approximately 6" x 4". *NOTE* the reverse/backward side of the cutting may have some glue, paper, or pencil marking since this is the side I work from while cutting.
The cutting will be attached to a white acid-free backer board, matted with your choice of white and black or double-white matting (external mat dimensions of 8" x 10"), and enclosed in a clear plastic envelope for protection.
I can make any of my pictured dog breed silhouettes with different wording (with limits on the wording length and content), in most cases with a couple weeks to a month lead time. If (in my judgement) the wording you choose is common enough phrasing that I can continue to use the design after I make it for you, the cutting could be priced the same as the stock listing. If you want your dog's name or something more personal, there would be a custom work charge in addition. Please contact me for details.
I am currently working on a number of other dog breeds. If you don't see your breed here but you REALLY want to buy a piece, feel free to contact me and put a word in for it. I am mostly working more popular breeds first, but if I know you are set to buy one I can bump your breed up in the list. :)
And if you really want the silhouette to be of your OWN dog (mixed breed, doesn't resemble the breed standard, s/he is just super awesome and distinctive and needs to be memorialized individually), I can do a custom silhouette from your appropriate photo. Custom work charges will apply to this as well.
I can also do any of the pictured dog silhouettes in a larger size.

As Hong Kong's first skyscraper, and with its distinctive circular windows, Jardine House has long remained a Hong Kong landmark. The round "moon gate" windows hold an honoured place in Chinese architectural tradition and offer refreshing views of Victoria Harbour and The Peak.
A clear and simple affirmation of the building's attractiveness, due in no small part to its central and convenient location, is the fact that many leading global and local names have been long-term tenants of Jardine House. The corporate offices of Jardine Matheson occupy the top floors of the building.

Because the customer experience is key, we constantly request feedback, so that we can further improve our operations. We conduct business customer satisfaction studies both on a project and event specific basis and with more comprehensive customer satisfaction surveys that are conducted regularly once or twice a year. In 2014, information was collected and reported twice in Finland and Russia and once in other countries.
Business customers are mainly interviewed over the telephone but also partly with online surveys. The surveys are targeted to those who decide on or participate in the decision-making on the purchase of services offered by Posti. In 2014, our customer satisfaction studies were based on the Taloustutkimus Corporate 360 content model.
Each year, we also measure the satisfaction of consumer customers with Posti and the key operational processes: receiving, sending and customer service. Taloustutkimus collected information in May, receiving more than 1,000 responses.
The consumers' overall rating of Posti as a whole declined from the previous year. The customer service ratings as well as ratings given by consumers for sending and receiving transactions remained at the same level as in the previous year. The ratings for Parcel points continued to be very good.
There were only minor changes in the ratings for sending and receiving transactions so they do not explain the decline in overall ratings. Indeed, declining overall ratings are more closely linked with the negative media publicity attracted by Posti's delivery route changes, mail delivery disruptions and personnel reductions during the first half of the year. It seems that the overall ratings also reflect people's assessment of Posti as a company in society.
According to the business customer satisfaction study, our customers were less satisfied with us than they were in the previous year. In postal services, the results were poorer for all services. In logistics services, the results improved in the spring of 2014 but took a downward turn again in the fall.
The highest customer satisfaction was achieved in parcel services and contract logistics. Of the geographical regions, the most significant year-on-year result improvement was achieved in the Baltic countries. In Russia, customer satisfaction did not change substantially compared to the previous year.
When processing customer details, we comply with the legislation in force and protect our customers' privacy. This includes, among other things, confidentiality, safe storage of customer details and their usage only for the purpose for which they were originally provided.
In customer marketing communications, we adhere to generally accepted ethical and cultural standards, respect the privacy of consumers and protect vulnerable consumer groups, such as children. In addition, we comply with the ICC International Code of Advertising Practice and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

Lottery Ticket Wraps
by Staff on Nov.17, 2009, under News
The feature film "Lottery Ticket" is set to complete principal photography later this week, wrapping up its 6-week shooting schedule in the city of Atlanta. Set for distribution with Warner Brothers in 2010, Lottery Ticket stars Ice Cube and Bow Wow in the tale of a young man who is unfortunate enough to have his scheming neighbors in the projects find out that he holds a winning lottery ticket worth several hundred million dollars.
Locations for the film included the Five Points MARTA station, a recently-depopulated housing project on the west side of Atlanta, and some of the city's most popular shopping centers. (note: video included here is by SmartPlay international, one of several manufacturers of real lottery machines)

I must introduce to you to this guy.
Meet Tim Shieff, freerunner extraordinaire, and vegan. Freerunning (also known as Parkours) = running and jumping and doing incredible freestyle gymnastics over outside stuff. Sheesh…you just gotta see it really.
This is what it is (the music on all the freerunning vids is kind of techno and urban – I'm not a fan, but no-one's asking me to score these, and you might like it, so I'll shut up).
Tim discovered the vegan lifestyle through watching the famous Gary Yourofsky video (I'll write on him in another post) and has never looked back. Since going vegan, he's experienced better health, better strength and stamina, and better recovery times. Why don't I let him tell you:
Even if he's your demographic opposite, you can still learn from him. There are a couple of things he's taught me even though I've been vegan nearly as long as he's been alive (holy crap!).
He just gets it. I'm totally jealous. I've said before, when I went vegan it was a very small percentage for ethical reasons, and mainly for health and weight reasons.
He just has FULL comprehension already of EVERY reason for going vegan and understands at soul-level their intersectionality.
How DARE someone so newly vegan (in comparison to me) be so clued up??? 🙂
It's true that there's a lot more information around now than went I went vegan. I had no idea then how wellbeing, environmental and ethical issues were all interwoven because no-one was writing about that – or at least no-one whose books fell into my hands at that time.
But seriously? I'm so glad of him, because his voice will (and already has done) lead a whole other chunk of people to discover their healthiest selves; living in alignment with their highest values and in touch with the environment.
His handstand tutorials inspired me to do handstands again! Of course I did them all the time when I was a kid, but as an adult maybe only once every summer if I was showing off in front of friends kids. You get rusty though and lose your confidence, and that handstand that was once launched into gleefully without thinking twice becomes stiff, wobbly and full of anxiety that you might break this or twist that. Since seeing Tim's vids, I've started doing them every day again, anywhere I can. It sounds corny, but it really shakes up your energy in the best way and brings a smile to your face. I can now do them just as well – if not better than I did as a kid! One of these days I'll post photographic evidence. If I live to be a hundred I'll still be doing them then. Watch this space!
Here's Tim's breakfast ideas – check the acrobatics while waiting for the blender! 🙂
And a great cherry and coconut ice-cream recipe:
You want a delicious dinner? Tim's got you covered:
Check out his other YouTube videos and keep an eye on what he's up to from time to time. He's truly a leader in progressive thought around diet and its impact, and it's really inspiring seeing the amazing things the human body can do when fuelled by the best food on earth!

Woking's 2015/16 Surrey 4 league campaign finally got underway on Saturday with a home fixture against Haslemere. The visiting team looked optimistic, arriving early to warm up, and coming off the back of a good pre-season. Woking, caught off guard by a change of kick off time from 3pm to 2pm had some last minute arrivals after Saturday work. A problem Stuart Lancaster surely does not have to contend with.
Haslemere's full warm up routine put them in fine form from the Woking kick off, stringing some nice phases of rugby together and scoring two converted tries through lack lustre Woking defence to take a 14-0 lead. Amid the Woking frustrations Colin Pearce was sent from the field for a petulant retaliation to a push.
Strong words from skipper Mike Aitchison and coaches Pete D'Cruz and Dave Nolan, combined with the wakeup call of conceding early points, stirred Woking into full flow. Despite a strong showing of results through pre-season, this was the first time the Woking 1stXV had run out on the pitch together since beating the promoted Reigate at the end of last season. The signs look promising for the season to come. Down to 14 men, but with the cobwebs brushed aside, Steve Rhodes gathered straight from the kick off to charge down the field leaving a path of devastation behind him. The ball was recycled beautifully through good support and spun wide to winger Faron Griffith-Moore, who drew in two Haslemere defenders before offloading to Aitchison who crashed over the line in the corner. The try was straight off the Woking training pitch, and from the following kick off Woking repeated the process scoring an almost carbon copy of the first try, but this time with Aitchison offloading to Callum Wogan who just could not be stopped from bowling over the try line at pace.
Haslemere must have thought it their day when Jim McGiven was sent from the field just as Colin Pearce returned, but Woking's 14 men continued to demonstrate scintillating rugby, Aitchison crossing for his 2nd try, after great interplay between himself and Phil Robertson at no.8. Justin Dougherty finally found his kicking boot, slotting this conversion with ease. 17-14.
Woking returned to 15 men, albeit briefly, as hooker Rory Blundell was sent from the field for using his foot to point out an offside player to the referee. The decision felt harsh, and the thought of a further 10 minutes of playing with 14 men seemed a daunting task. Woking opted to slow the game, showing their decision making skills with kicking for territory and keeping the ball tight. The change in pace gave the Woking backs enough rest to continue their defensive work rate, scything down a number of Haslemere advances out wide. Frustration got the better of Haslemere as they started sealing off their attacking ball. Woking's scrum, with flanker Steve Rhodes stepping in to hook, was immensely powerful, and the 7 man pack drove Haslemere back over their line with Phil Robertson touching down for the bonus point. Half time closed at 24-14.
The match was described as "a game of three halves", by local photographer Geoffery Banks, as Woking returned to 15 men and dipped in their work rate. Haslemere capitalized scoring a cracking breakaway try through fullback JP, duly converted by the reliable boot of their no.10. Woking once again responded strongly, and off a very strong lineout catch and drive, Phil Robertson placed scrum half Dan Edwards in to take the scores to 31-21.
Woking now fully relaxed and opened up their champagne style of rugby, with Neil Murphy placing Elliot Hood in at the corner for a strangely disallowed try. This try would have killed the game, but Haslemere, given the opportunity to fight back, finished strongly. Woking were clearly drained having spent 30 minutes down to 14 men, and possibly lacking match fitness, and their defence slipped once more, as Haslemere brought the game to 31-26. Last ditch tackling from Gareth Nearn, Griffith-Moore and Aitchison halted Haslemere 1m short of the line with the last play of the game.
Captain Aitchison spoke afterwards, "For our first game of the season we are happy to have come away with a winning bonus point. There were some very positive moments, and the way the team picked up the intensity with 14 men on the field was phenomenal. The down side is that the yellow cards were petulant and discipline nearly cost us the game. Credit to Haslemere, they are a good outfit and I am sure will pose challenges to all teams in the league this season. On to next week against Wandsworthians, where we know discipline will be the key."

|Ascorbic acid is one of the water-soluble vitamins and is known to have multiple beneficial effects capability on beauty, such as its anti-pigmentation and collagen-stimulating effects. However, Ascorbic acid is quite unstable against heat, light and oxygen in solution. In addition, the use of Ascorbic acid in emulsions and gel is very difficult due to the strong ionic characteristic of Ascorbic acid. To solve these problems, we have developed Amitose 3GA by introducing a glyceryl group into Ascorbic acid. Amitose 3GA has excellent stability of its formulation and its potential as an anti-skin aging material with ROS scavenging effects. Furthermore, Amitose 3GA has an excellent sensory texture without sticky-feeling specific to Ascorbic acid. Thus Amitose 3GA can be used in anti-aging cosmetics with excellent stability and sensory.

Just as Steven Matz was set to surpass "The Franchise," the southpaw finally resembled a rookie.
Having thrown 19 straight scoreless innings, Matz dissected and decimated the White Sox offense through five innings while the Mets took a four-run lead, but the lefty was soon smacked around. He saw his streak of seven straight starts with a win end with a no-decision in Tuesday's 6-4 loss, allowing Chicago's comeback to start with three runs in the sixth inning.
Matz, the first Mets pitcher to win seven straight starts in a decade, was coming off a career-best outing, in which he threw eight shutout innings, but was pulled after 5 ²/₃ innings (88 pitches), marking the first time he failed to throw six innings since his season debut. Matz (7-1) allowed seven hits and two walks, while striking out three, unable to eclipse Tom Seaver with a team-record eighth straight start with a win and two earned runs or fewer allowed.
"They were really giving me good at-bats," Matz said. "I only had one walk through the first five, but I felt like I really had to battle."
Matz worked fast, surrendering just three hits in five shutout innings to start the game, but then began working too fast, according to manager Terry Collins.
After James Loney's misplay at first gave Jose Abreu a leadoff single in the sixth, Matz gave up a first-pitch, two-run homer to Todd Frazier to cut the Mets' lead in half.
"Threw one bad pitch and I paid for it," said Matz, who now has a 2.60 ERA. "He popped up on the same pitch last time, really just left it over the plate and he got extended. That's what he does.
"In the moment you don't really pay attention to that, otherwise I wouldn't have done it, but looking back at it, maybe I was rushing a little bit."
Following a single by Melky Cabrera, Matz nearly escaped the inning after turning a double play on Avisail Garcia, but the 25-year-old then walked Tyler Saladino — who recorded his first two stolen bases of the season during the next at-bat — and gave up an RBI single to Dioner Navarro, leaving the Mets up 4-3. The tying run was on base as Matz was removed.
"He always works fast, he's always been a guy who gets the ball and gets on the mound," Collins said, "but when you get in trouble a little bit, I'm not saying you gotta walk around the mound, but you gotta give yourself a little bit of a break.
"You just got to kind of slow yourself down and make each pitch mean something instead of just rearing back and throwing and that's something he'll learn. He's been absolutely great. He got us deep in the game and I just hope he keeps pitching well."
