I have figured out some important matters through your site post. One other thing I would like to talk about is that there are plenty of games that you can buy which are designed especially for toddler age kids.

This will keep little ones occupied without having the experience like they are studying. Thanks

(There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

30 several years ago I spent my teenage many years inside of a NTM South Pacific base. What I discovered most bizzare was the amount of psycholgical control exerted. Extorted signed confessions, guilt laid on in spades. And to make it worse, some of us are not from the States, so we got a excellent dose of discrimination thrown in for free.
Was a bit like foreign policy under the Bush regimes, the rest from the world exists for Americas pleasure.
It was a teenage whole of isolation, wondering why but not daring to question.
No doubt my comments will be wiped, nonetheless it feels pretty fantastic to tell the truth and my conscience is clear.

Having Fun With Michael Moore… On Twitter
Disclaimer: In the interest of originality, this piece on Michael Moore will have no fat jokes. Enjoy.
This past weekend, Michael Moore made the mistake of asking this question:
Well, anyone that remembers the Attack Watch thing should know that you ought to be careful what you ask for. Scroll down this page and see what kind of responses the Oscar winning film maker got.
I just love when celebrities yap on twitter. It gives us common folk a chance to interact with them. (and to tell them what idiots they are)
What do you think? Were these tweeters too hard on Michael Moore? Or did he have it coming? (if he's such a big, smart documentary maker, he had to see this coming… right?)

The press has spoken; they absolutely love Cooliris and its gang. And this is how we show our appreciation for all the support they have given us; by honoring them all with a post on our website. And of course, for our readers, to find the news about Cooliris all in one place.
As the world prepares for the ominous ides of March, we here quite enjoyed the popularity this month brought for us. At the outset was an epic article written by Robin Wauters titled:
" Here are 600 million reasons to replace the Photos app on your iPad with Cooliris"
Writing for TheNextWeb, Wauters summarizes the Cooliris journey and the milestones it has achieved on the way. In fact it was a great compliment to read that he has replaced the Photo' app on his iPad. In his own words, " I've replaced the Photos app on my iPad 2 to see if it's an adequate alternative, and was pleasantly surprised" . The best part is the article was shared 4784 times so far. You can read the rest of what Wauters said about us here:
But it wasn't all play at the Cooliris HQ, as our team headed by CEO Soujanya Bhumkar left for a tour to Asia. First on their itinerary was the bustling Japanese city of Tokyo. Cooliris being super popular in Japan, with our second highest downloads coming from there, it was no surprise how responsive the tech media was to us. One of the most popular tech writers in Japan, Techdoll, tweeted about us to her thousands of followers and Techwave Japan organized an interview with our CEO and other editors. Rick Martin of the ever popular Start-up Dating Japan had this to write after a sit-down with Soujanya;
" Catching up with the CoolIris team in Tokyo" http://www.startup-dating.com/2013/03/cooliris-japan
Next stop was the effervescent South Korea. The media was buzzing with the idea of interviewing the Cooliris team. Each media outlet contacted was eager to send their reporters for a meeting with the Cooliris team. Language was not a barrier, it was their enthusiasm that made for excellent press. The first morning our team was met by the popular ZDNet, whose article can be found here:
Korea's number one IT Trade paper, The Electronic Times, also featured Cooliris
It was a busy morning with Korea's number one Economic Paper, The Maeil Economic Newspaper had their time with the team as well:
Known as one of Korea's most popular tech news sites, Bloter.Net also took the time out to meet with our team
It was a busy first day, but there was no stopping the media in Korea. The next day, Korea's oldest and largest English news publication, The Korea Times, sat down for an interview with our CEO:
It has been a great few weeks for Cooliris in the media and we humbled by the coverage we have gotten, especially from across the shores. It just gives us the impetus to work harder and come out with ever cooler updates for everyone to enjoy.
In creating the new Cooliris, one of our goals was to take the numerous amounts of media shared on all your different networks and create an easy way to discover and share those photos. That way you can avoid the headache from data overload and instead view all your beautiful photos in one place. Cooliris brings together photos from your favorite sources, including Facebook, Instagram, and your own Camera Roll, all in one fast, fluid, and visually stunning app.
Let's check out four of the new features incorporated with Facebook on Cooliris.
Open up Facebook on Cooliris and you'll immediately see all the photos from your News Feed, which you can swipe, zoom, and flip through on the 3D Wall. You can also toggle between your personal Albums, Cover Photos, and Photos Tagged of You through the drop down navigation menu at the top of the screen.
Cooliris allows you to share any of your Facebook photos in private 1-on-1 or group conversations, whether it be from your News Feed or own albums. Now you can have a conversation around any topic or set of photos from multiple networks including Facebook. Select photos by pressing the share button in the upper right and selecting, or by holding down on a photo. Then press the share button again and the Conversations Menu Panel will slide out.
Share photos by selecting from any existing conversation, or create a new one. When creating a new conversation, Cooliris will autofill will contacts from your Facebook Friends and local Address Book. You can even send to anyone, even if they don't currently have a Cooliris account.

We're excited to introduce the all-new Cooliris, available now for iPad and iPhone in the App Store. Before going into the details, let's backtrack so you get the whole picture.
When we first released the Cooliris 3D Wall as a browser extension in 2008, it enabled a stunning new way to browse media on the desktop, allowing you to consume images, photos and videos from the web like never before. The product was well received by millions and we received tangible feedback from hundreds of thousands of users from around the world. You said the Cooliris Wall was a great way to browse search results for images, to see large sets of photos and videos, and experience galleries embedded by webmasters on their own websites. Bringing the Wall to market was an extraordinary experience for us.
Simultaneously, an interesting shift was taking place in the landscape. With the introduction and hyperscaling of iOS and Android mobile devices, the world began going mobile, opening up opportunities to experience digital media in a new ways. Handbags and pockets held powerful cameras and phones, and new services enabled everyone to become a photographer. You started posting and publishing beautiful photos to Facebook and Instagram, or just taking them to remember and share, and we were getting started on how we could make the process even better.
We embraced mobile by being part of something big. We worked closely with Andy Rubin at Google to create the Android Gallery, which became the default native app for Android 2.1 and above.
Fast forward to present day, and we're leveraging all our learnings from our past successes and mistakes, and are proud to present to the world today a brand new app for iPad and iPhone. You kept telling us the Cooliris Wall was meant for tablets and mobile phones, and we heard loud and clear.
The all new Cooliris app is the fast, fluid, and stunning new way to explore, discover, and share photos. We've chosen your favorite sources - Facebook, Instagram, Google Images, and of course your personal photo library on your device - and seamlessly combined them into an easy-to-use iPad and iPhone app. You can swipe, zoom, and efficiently navigate through thousands of photos on the Cooliris 3D Wall, then selectively share them with people you care about in private 1-on-1 or group conversations, or publish it to a broader audience by sharing it to your Facebook Timeline.
Try Cooliris for showcasing your photography collection, sharing personal moments with your family, or simply as a better way to enjoy your favorite photos.
We've had a lot of fun building the all-new Cooliris, and we hope you enjoy discovering, experiencing, and sharing photos as much as we do. We strive to be the best in immersive and visual rich media experiences, and today we are starting the next chapter. Download the all-new Cooliris App for iPad and iPhone in the iTunes App Store today! To learn more about the app, check out the demo video.

Cops on Top Kilimanjaro Audio Blog Wows 'Em At Slashdot
Cops on Top Expedition has gotten notice of the ultimate geek site slashdot.org because of its use of its audio blog via satellite phone (you can listen via mp3) of its expedition up Kilimanjaro. There's an interesting debate there on … Continue reading

I found a folder on my hard drive containing 287 mp3s I had downloaded in December 2008 but never listened to. I was moving from LA to Vermont and this music must have gotten lost in the shuffle. Cracking open this dusty batch of blog downloads was a glorious trip back to a time when the electro dance scene was peaking.
I made this mix out of my top 25:
GeminiRadio – Time Capsule 2008 (continuous mix)
A bunch of this music is just mind-blowingly good. It's stylish, fun, and sexy and like nothing else reminds me of the first day of summer break. It's experimental, too - there are train sounds and arty disco and measure-shifted spastic drum fills and whole new subgenres that no one ever followed up on.
This scene collapsed the same way all dance scenes do, evident in the 200+ songs that didn't make the cut – they're hyperactive with an unimaginative aesthetic sameness, converging on whatever went best with the trendy drugs of the moment. The party cool kid vibe makes for an empty diet, which gradually gave way to musicians with a bit more substance like Miike Snow, Caribou, and Yeasayer.
Track listing and individual tracks after the jump, below.

Big, big deal if you're wrong.
Jai Paul - In The Company of Wolves (you can't buy yet)
This is likely to be one of the most important albums of 2013. In keeping with years of enigmatic positioning, it was leaked for a day then hastily retrieved. I managed to snag some of it, which I now share with you until the helicopters start circling. Introducing the future of indie R&B: heavy, sexy lyrics, restless rhythms, deep synths, and virtuoso songwriting. So itense, so fresh.
NZCA/LINES - Okinawa Channels (buy)
Popcorn percussion, woven synths, and gentle vocals. A slim and clear song like colorful glass.
The Orwells - In My Bed (buy)
Lo-fi retro punky rock n' roll that really nails the swagger. If this doesn't make you want to clutch a microphone and belt it out, you were never meant to be a rock star. (That's okay, though.)
Shakey Graves - The Donor Blues (buy)
His new EP demonstrates some increased range and opens with this heartbreaking 4-track folk in the vein of super early Sebadoh and Beck.
Labyrinth Ear - White Gold (buy)
This band has all the sophistication and poise of Phantogram - tense, atmospheric electro fusion. They're Phantogram's hot, sinister younger sister. Get these EPs.
Melody's Echo Chamber - Crystallized (buy)
Double barrel of Stereolab and Broadcast that you haven't heard this clearly since the 90's. The full album has wide range and nice experimental stretching.
Ela Orleans - Longing (buy)
Psychedelic collage of sqelch and beats and staticy organs with spooky, arty vocals like a shy owl.
The Silent League - Yours Truly, 2095 (Memory Tapes Version) (buy)
This is a post Mercury Rev project remixed by a post Hail Social guy, so there's some awesome pedigree and explains the weird pop combined with sensibly composed, versatile electro.
Standard Fare - Darth Vader (buy)
Completely disarming with a strong sound and a meandering lyrical style, these songs are capable of surprising emotional aikido. One of my favorite modern indie bands whose albums are completely worth your hours and dollars.
Mock & Toof - Farewell To Wendo (buy)
One foot in each of the US, English, and Japanese electronic music scenes, progressive beats and instrumentation, unforgettably brazen lyrics, simultaneously cold and emotional, human and alien.
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody I knew before.
Slow Club - Two Cousins (buy)
Opens as big and frantic as most songs climax, clawing its way out of a desperate trench, big simple sounds, clambering drums, indie rock's intimacy multiplied by classic rock's longing and loss.
Dan Croll - From Nowhere (buy)
A little Miike Snow, a little Gotye, a 2012 blog hit, a reminder that it's time to commence the SXSW research.
Weekend - Hazel (buy)
I haven't even listened to the new My Bloody Valentine yet but here's some super classic-sounding 90's college shoegazer I've grown to love.
Vague-à-bonde - Something (buy)
Right after that first track ended, the girl pop ghostsoul of Slow Club put down its guitars and ran over to Grimes's keyboards and now it's performing this emotionally fraught, building and cresting indie synth pop for you.
Wye Oak - Spiral (buy)
Rush era prog rock, super bleak and aching swirls of thin guitar and circulating sounds trapping you inside your drained and collapsing head.
Jaill - Perfect Ten (buy)
Television songs as sung by adolescent Roger Daltrey who woke up in Mick Jagger's body.
Acid Glasses - My Pale Garden (buy)
Submersible touring a whole underwater kingdom of crazy with your smiling robot pilot.
No Ceremony - HURTLOVE (buy)
I love the way this song mixes an inarguable, eternal anthematic chord progression with twisted chillwave static and enormous bursts of verbal noise, like being worriedly and crazily in love or maybe near death and talking to ghosts.
No, my first name ain't baby.
Phèdre - In Decay (buy)
Unselfconsciously awkward noise pop to make you feel weird or avant party rock to make you feel beautiful about being weird. Their album is like an upsetting scrapbook of construction paper, crayon, and magazine cutouts.
Tourist - Your Girl (buy)
There's a bit of Jai Paul to this - smartly tightened and focused reenvisioning of elements of R&B and electro with a certain distance or inhumanity.
Giovanni James – Shining (buy)
I see no reason this poppy soul wouldn't work splendidly with the NPR crowd (the Reader's Digest of new music), but <unfinished thought>
Holy Family - Meathooks (buy)
They came from Sweden to Montreal with dangerously sharp voices, synths, drums, and ideas. This is about as close as you can come to The Knife in spirit while being totally different in sound.
Hermetic - Portlandish (Jay Arner Remix) (buy)
Hermetic is a great but very rock band, kinda 90's post hardcore indie or something. This remix preserves lots of that uplifting corporal humanity, encasing it in the amber of its plodding electronic recomposition.
Electric Guest - American Daydream (buy)
Like a super pop and slick Black Keys, all cool style and extra production and publicity photos on sunny LA streets and a whiff of weed in the studio.
John Talabot - Destiny (buy)
It's fascinating how he breathes humanity and light into this shifty, intellectual rhythmic insistence by using his mechanically dry voice.
Madi Diaz - Trust Fall (Jensen Sportag Remix) (buy)
That airy Miami Vice production, sassy sexy 1986 guitar stabs, a sweet Sheila E / Janet Jackson singer, this is a smart, soulful update and tribute in so many ways.
Kids Without Instruments - Stardust (buy)
Okay these really are super young college kids without instruments but it's best not to look into that too deeply. Think of them as the friendlier Sleigh Bells or Crystal Castles and just enjoy the hyper, structured, edgy, very modern pop for what it is. It almost Tweets itself.
Hot As Sun - Come Come (Tokyo Police Club Remix) (buy)
I could see no relation between the original and this dark, heavy, somber collage of sounds leaping around the central voice like naked dancers around a bonfire, but that's just another reason to love Tokyo Police Club. Ed: Just figured out it was a different song, but I don't want to talk about it.
Caribou - The Dauphin (buy)
If you're like me and Caribou is basically your favorite band, then trust me, you've got nothing better to do with your time right now than click that "buy" link (kind of a misnomer) and stream the entire Tour CD 2010.
Nothing can account for reasons why I'd be so mean.
Sky Ferreira – Everything Is Embarrassing (buy)
An update of those big, simple Salt N Peppa beats with Debbie Gibson's sugary singing, only when did she get so sad, spiraling down into some sexy heartbroken abyss… oh, because Blood Orange wrote this track for her, and he's a fucking champ and a half.
Whitey – Brief and Bright (buy)
Holy cow, Hot Chip had a baby with Django Django. Love those polyrhythms and manly tenor harmonies, and maybe the end result is a touch cellophane, but whatever, it's still brilliant.
Two Door Cinema Club – What You Know (buy)
If you drew a line all the way from Death Cab to Bloc Party, it'd cross through these guys, who have a gentle cerebral thing despite their consistent crafting of timeless, punchy rock the remixers can't stop remixing. I've listened to this track dozens of times and it still works.
Fredo Viola – Vache Qui Rit (buy)
Like doing a crossword puzzle in a foreign language in which you don't even know the characters. His site has awesome art.
Xenia Rubinos – Hair Receding (buy)
Cannon blasts of serrated slabs of keyboard noise and a more dangerously balanced yell than PJ Harvey's.
Ackeejuice Rockers – Wade In The Water (Moombahsoul Mix) (buy)
Straight up gospel meets straight up downtempo club. There's an afterhours dance party out there perfectly stamped with this vibe.
Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti – Baby (buy)
I'm not normally into the particular 60's pop sound they reconstruct, but this cover of a late 70's blue-eyed-soul song I can get into. It's sexy, dreamy, and strong.
Vacationer – Trip (buy)
I like every track on the satisfying and listenable album, Gone, too varied to represent with one song, a thorough amalgam of disparate elements from let's say Vampire Weekend, yacht rock, Sublime (!!?!? I dunno!), maybe Arcade Fire, and even stuff like Broadcast's floral sample patches as heard on this track.
Neonfaith – Escape (buy)
Concrete Blonde meets Phantogram. Dark and velvety powerful female vocals over an electrorock track that's alternately heavy and bouncy.
ODESZA – How Did I Get Here (buy)
Delicate girl vocals scrambled and crushed by weighty dub bass and plunky percussion, like a pink rose that's been beautifully run over by a bike.
Chrome Sparks – Show You My Way (buy)
They are famous courtesy a song about marijuana, but I love their contrast between primitive electronica sounds and twisted snippets of human soul that unfold on artful compositions which gradually build in grandiosity. No one else has quite this aesthetic.
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Superhuman Happiness - GMYL
That awkward era of 80's alternative before alternative got popular enough to be cool, updated for the 90's.
Humans - Possession
Dudes shouting with casual ferocity, reserved synths, and gradually building, stylish island rhythms. I feel a little guilty posting this when I haven't pushed any of the great album Tanlines released last year.
School of Seven Bells - The Night
A lot of the album is thick, bookish, and contemplative, but this upbeat track introduces some welcome breathing room to their balance of intellect and emotion. Summons the ghost of Belly, Tanya Donelly's 90's alt girl radio band, although people tend to ask "Cocteau Twins?" when they hear it.
Corin Tucker Band - Groundhog Day
The other third of Sleater-Kinney has returned to tell us what's what or at least what should be so in riot grrrl today.
Ghoul - Swimming Pool
A fantastic mutation of art rock and cold sounds somewhere in the spacetime vicinity of Alt-J and Radiohead. This came out in 2008 and they keep claiming there will be an album.
Haim - Forever
Expertly composed, cheerfully bombastic pop with a flavor of not-quite-dark substance and light gravity reminiscent of Laura Branigan and Belinda Carlile.
Dirty Ghosts - Pretty Face
Aesop Rock gets credits for the beats, but I've seen a drummer live, but anyway the point is a smoking hot guitar goddess throws gutter rock riffs and blistering solos and it's pretty danceable too and I'm still baffled why this isn't the most popular thing in Merca.
Saskatchewan - Venom
Menacing slow rock a la Corey Hart or Don Henley bred with some sexy chillwave R&B, which is a pretty fucking tight formula when you say it like that.
ice cream shout - tattooed tears
Clean and jaunty DIY casio track under a mopey, tortured singer, heartfelt songwriting stirring a nice pot of sentiment. Remember White Town? Less fun / disposable.
Hoodie Allen - No Interruption
As white party rappers go, he's pretty damn pizza. I'm given to understand he bust the Billboard top 10, but it's too late to remove from this track now, plus it's really good.
Inc. - Swear
Still more of that new Prince-style R&B stuff which I still can't get enough of but also seem to have a limited vocabulary for describing.
Chris Malinchak - So Good To Me
Comes out of the gate like the kind of house techno that's been pouring ravey sunshine into our ears since '94, but it earns special recognition with artfully layered rhythms, chipper and blissy synths, and an overall composition that punches through the cynicism to remind us why some of this stuff was actually super great in the first place.
Pompeya - Untitled
A near-mythical Moscow band that recorded but didn't really release my favorite album of 2011, some perfect blend of modern disco, breezy 80's pop, and 10's chillwave.
Why don't you turn your radio up?
TOPS – Diamond Look
If the Shangri-Las had releases in 1990 they might sound like this, sweet tooth pop that's (in their own words) fierce in the heart. Montreal indie band with a solid and worthwhile album.
Emil & Friends – Royal Oats (Radial Remix)
He's got quite the magic for coaxing the blasé and everyday into perfect pop gems. A song that envisions a video of canted camera angles of balcony parties, smiling faces, road trips, string lights, and endless cuts of a bunch of stuff you love about your life without having explicitly noticed yet.
Panama – Magic
A lost 1982 radio hit. Think Cut Copy meets Big Country opening for Toto.
Wild Belle – It's Too Late (Snakehips Remix)
Should be required to make a formal declaration to M.I.A. and Santigold about her claim on their territory. Her first song was catchy but a bit too vacant; this one seems better genomed for nourishment.
Teen Mom – I Want To Go Out
An off-balance, downhill slide of careening fuzz guitar punctured by bass stabs, shattering cymbals, and understated crooning, a shrine to restlessness, a reminder never to settle down.
Apollo Cobra – Feel Like It
Party down, good times, overhead clapping, secular-Gospel-for-Williamsburg-loft-parties style indie dance floor packer.
The Cyclist – Visions
Opens like a rusty and complex piece of cutlery and only betrays its clean techno foundations dimly through the patina.
Mickey feat. Billie - Weekend
I think Sweden might sport its own musical ecosystem where the shimmering descendents of Abba still pack the charts.
Baby Monster – Fresh Biscuits
That dorm room shared by the sweet nerdy hipster boys whose Friday night performances in the Commons you had to admit were actually really good. They had a mini blog hit, City of Lovers, on this same 2011 album.
Rhye – Open
Honey voice like Feist, artful melancholy arrangements, a gentle plea for love not to die.
BEAK> - Mono
Dry, shifty, jumpy, and insistent, would fit right in at Dischord alongside Antelope.
Chvrches – The Mother We Share
The less witchy, more radio-ready good twin to Purity Ring's evil twin. Not that it makes them better, but is hard to deny the appeal of this almost Arcade Fire caliber anthem and wish them well as they rocket to fame.
Connan Mockasin – Forever Dolphin Love (Erol Alkin rework)
I imagine Connan Mockasin as an isolated, angrily disgruntled, gay, skinny art school genius pitching these disorienting avant pop songs when music isn't even his primary form, he's really a painter or something, and here remixed into a deep space star expedition or a gorgeous cyborgial blend.
Hello, you can expect a new post every 2 weeks. I have 3 of them ready to go already.
White Denim – Darlene
A wry, twangy, comfortable ballad from hip Austin rockers who are usually into more jagged fare. What better for concluding the prior mix?
The Luyas – Your Name's Mostly Water
Montreal art pop band with a song like spinning and drifting high above a patchwork terrain of foreign nations as viewed through a kaleidoscope.
Coco Morier – Explosions
Slick and peppy electro disco that's not afraid to get its verses grimy. She's formerly of Electrocute and writes songs for Britney Spears and whatnot.
Blouse – Into Black
Pensive, elegant girl synth pop ankle deep in midnight blue reverb.
Holy Ghost! – It Gets Dark
This DFA Records (James Murphey's label) mainstay produces solid dance floor flavors with a variety of ingredients: funk, soul, disco and hipster electro like this.
Each of their songs has a slightly different formula for propping the grotesque awkwardly across the relatively beautiful with a fabulous fuck-it-all attitude. I assume they are German.
Yellow Ostrich – USA
Their earlier songs sound like little boys folding yellowed, crinkly newspapers into pond-crossing boats, but the latest EP finds grown dudes offering sensible, emotional, and catchy alternative rock arrangements that might make them famous.
Patterns – Sunny Days (Seashore Remix)
When darkest winter overtakes you, close your eyes and imagine driving a yellow corvette along a Miami shoreline highway while Nenah Cherry loops on repeat.
Jessica Pratt – Night Faces
Her producer, Tim Presley, describes the 19 year old prodigy best as "Stevie Nicks singing over David Crosby demos." Like opening a dusty trunk to discover the mid-60's reel-to-reel recordings of the lullabies your mom never sang you when you were a baby.
Yeasayer – Swallowing The Decibels
Everyone is justifiably stoked on their newest album, Fragrant World, but how about check out one of the amazing tracks that was held from Odd Blood only by virtue of not quite fitting the flow?
Daphni – Balladins
Dan Snaith, the creative force behind Caribou, has this dance side project, a damn sight more innovative than most clubs can swallow given the capable and aggressive collisions of techno motifs from across the decades, along with plenty of afrobeat like this.
Young Galaxy - We Have Everything (Adam & The Amethysts Remix)
This remix brings out the song's epic expanse, where the primordial elements swirl and mingle in the space between every two people, intoning wisdom like some electro Desiderata.
Brothertiger - Lovers
An old favorite by a criminally under-recognized musician, this song marks the spot where chill wave peaked for me, smooth and slick like a bright yellow latex vest.
Erika Spring - Hidden
Her solo project is sometimes reminiscent of her main band, Au Revoir Simone, but this song comes from a heavier and dreamier place with understated shifts and razor sharp cymbals.
Friends - Home
Manifest!, Friends' long awaited full length, unambiguously wins Best 2012 Summer Party Album. These highly varied, ultra-catchy songs expertly draw from the best girl pop of the past four decades, ranging in tone from bombastic and sexy to disarmingly intimate, with surprisingly insightful lyrics about relationships. Total crush inducing.
Alt-J - Something Good
A new arty band getting tons of attention with sinister, delicate, smart compositions and a creepy male voice. A not-so-urgently suicidal Xiu Xiu.
Kavinsky - Nightcall (Breakbot Remix)
Oh no you got your Breakbot in my Drive soundtrack!
Charli XCX - Valentine
One of my absolute favorite singles of 2012, it's balls out teenybopper with a touch of sensible adult cynicism, though not quite enough to keep it out of 'guilty pleasure' categorization. Charli XCX is still relatively unknown but a first class pop diva in the making, normally delivering a mix between goth and radio pop.
Kool Music - Running Back To Everyone
A murky underwater dreamscape where you can warm up next to the crackling tape hiss.
Liars - No.1 Against The Rush
Brooding and mathy, somewhere between a grim dance party and an angry love letter, Wixiw, the new album by Liars, is solid and consistent, a rocky energy of men, guitars, and synthesizers.
Digits - Lost Dream
If you love Junior Boys, get your itch scratched with Digits, who also happens to be the nicest and most humble musician worthy of being paid for his album.
Lianne La Havas - Forget
She's normally a kind of jazz / folk singer-songwriter elevated far beyond appearances at your local Starbucks, but this song is straight R&B with some dark pop instrumentation that just now made me go listen to Amy Winehouse.
Tom Vek - Aroused
No sooner had I started spreading the legend of Tom Vek who opted not to put out his second album rather than have it fail to live up to the breathtaking standard set by 2005's We Have Sound then he in fact released that second album, Leisure Seizure. Bold, angular tracks cut through by his decisive lyrics, an upending achievement of rhythm, invention, and humanity.
AWOLNATION - Sail
Look I know this is some Top 40 ultra emo shit, but it's so fucking good I can't even begin to fault it, so just pump your fists and cut your forearms and get into it.
Silver Swans - Secrets (Letting Up Despite Great Faults Remix)
Lush dead vocals sliding between the slats of coldly structured pop, a radio song from a frozen planet.
Collarbones - Missing
Goddamn I love this new post-Prince R&B stuff.
Hey, let's listen to some new music.
Breton - Governing Correctly
Sharp, scruffy, and cruelly sexy. Desperate yelling, shifty beats, and cinematic soundscapes. Big strains of Tom Vek (!!) plus a touch of Bloc Party.
Black Light Dinner Party - Older Together
Perfectly refined and shadowy electro pop by a secret cabal of wonder producers.
Hotel Mexico - Dear Les Friends
Spacey, lilting, high speed, gloriously avant disco-y pop something from Japan.
XXYYXX - About You
Ferociously bass heavy electronic dreams to float into the galaxies to, reputedly by a 16 year old.
The British Expeditionary Force - Cogs and Chemicals
Layers of lush sonics sliding past drums and guitar, all wrapped around solid and unfamiliar songwriting with soft vocal harmonies. A new style of rock music.
Kuhrye-oo - Soul Handsome
This is that kooky guy who was dancing for Grimes at Fun Fun Fest 2011. His own music is powerful and scrambled but never sloppy, like Aphex Twin remixing Books.
Emil And Friends - Downed Economy
Hip and fabulous dude pop with plenty enough pleasing weirdness and capable constructions.
Sandro Perri - Love & Light
Arthur Russel-esque beautiful non-songs with breezy yacht rock production.
Chandeliers - New Times
I love bands that can rock off-genre, fist pumping, glassy, electronic bangers and dirty, lo-fi, mumbling thought experiments in the same breath. Or at least consecutive breaths.
Voltaire Twins - Animalia
If you set out to combine The Knife and Arcade Fire, you better be at least this capable of delivering.
Junip - Without You
The only thing cooler than being both Swedish and Argentinean with two z's in your name is the soft and defined voice of Jose Gonzalez. As much as I'm moved by his intimate acoustic guitar stuff, I love this droney project full of big echoes and fuzz that sounds like licking a nice electric wire.
Jai Paul - Jasmine
This man is probably going to reinvent Prince. After wailing and gnashing our teeth in agony over the extended wait since he teased us with the track BTSTU, we're finally graced with… another awesome single.

Sierra still hasn't reblogged the post I dedicated to her. This makes me think she still hasn't found it.
The following day, I attended a workshop about preventing gender violence, facilitated by Katz. There, he posed a question to all of the men in the room: "Men, what things do you do to protect yourself from being raped or sexually assaulted?"
Not one man, including myself, could quickly answer the question. Finally, one man raised his hand and said, "Nothing." Then Katz asked the women, "What things do you do to protect yourself from being raped or sexually assaulted?" Nearly all of the women in the room raised their hand. One by one, each woman testified:
"I don't make eye contact with men when I walk down the street," said one.
"I don't put my drink down at parties," said another.
"I use the buddy system when I go to parties."
"I cross the street when I see a group of guys walking in my direction."
"I use my keys as a potential weapon."
The women went on for several minutes, until their side of the blackboard was completely filled with responses. The men's side of the blackboard was blank. I was stunned. I had never heard a group of women say these things before. I thought about all of the women in my life — including my mother, sister and girlfriend — and realized that I had a lot to learn about gender."—Why I Am A Male Feminist (via meggannn)
What the hell BBC? I just want a freaking image that says 'Bad Wolf' in Circular Gallifreyan. Why is that too much to ask?
Honestly, I'd settle for a nice looking fan made version. People make words like 'hierarchy' and 'dazzled', but nowhere can I find 'Bad Wolf'. How does this even make sense?
Dear World, please accommodate me.
Welp! That's great! Gonna rant now!
Before he was 8, things were fine and dandy and he's a happy adorable snotrag!
He isin't treated any differently and if he is, he's too young to notice at the time.
He's 10. He's talented at creating animation and draws like a pro.
Early primary school; things are fine but he feels a little confused that he's one of the very few black kids in his school. Apart from that, he enjoys school and no trouble making friends. Still a witty & bright little smartass!
12 years old. Parents are called into school because teacher feels my brother cheated on a test (he was one of the few that scored the highest. Also the only black boy in his class).
Brother is confused. Says he didn't cheat on anything. Parents tell him not to cheat and to work harder.
The year goes by. Parents are called in again. Teacher puts my brother at the very back of the class because "he was late for school".
13 years old. A little bit wary of how his teacher only seems to target him- and only him- in his entire class of 20+ pupils. Notices he's the only one in class not getting enough attention for homework stuff. Doesn't put his hand up in class for questions much anymore because parents are always called in because 'he asks too much questions'.
14years old. Last year. There's a group science project (the group with the best science model gets to represent their school and meet the President of Ireland). Years of being good with drawings, animation and now physics helps him a lot. Other teacher remarks on how great his science model was. His group wins. He gets to meet the president.
Principal tells my brother he's no longer allowed in his own group work. He's replaced with a white boy that's not even in his class. This boy and the rest of the group are the ones to meet the President and be on local newspaper. With his science project on the front.
My brother is devastated. He cried so hard the entire night. He was frustrated, confused, angry and shocked.
The principal asks my brother to join the group again right after they other boys have met the president. My brother joins but he's raging. He's wary. The president will never know that the boy who made the science project that was on the newspapers was him. A black boy.
He doesn't talk much in class anymore. He doesn't raise his hands up anymore. He doesn't care. School sucks. Parents are called in about his 'bad attitude'. Parents are alert at what's going on but say nothing because they threatened their son with expulsion.
Brother knows his teacher hates him and singles him out. He has learnt to not be smart in class. He now hangs around a rough crowd (he's never done this before). School sucks, who cares when your teacher mocks u in front of everyone else?
He gets into big trouble these days. His grades are slipping. He even smashed a neighbour's window 'for fun'.
He's watching other black kids in his area stereotyped as lazy hooligans.
He is sort of becoming one. He still loves to draw and is still a bright boy in school. Teacher not happy with it because he prefers if my brother does nothing.
I'm MAAAAD when I find out finally why my brother has changed so much. I hate the world. I hate white people sometimes. You have made my brother believe that he's good for nothing at school. He was a bright and smart-assy kid.
He's a wary and quiet boy now.
And you have no fucking idea how exhusting it is to remind him everyday that he's just as good as all the other boys. Fuck you. I fucking hate this world. I fucking hate you for telling me that 'racism is over, its all in your head'
I fucking HATE that my little sister (8) is being mocked by the kids in her class for 'having chocolate fingers he wants to eat'. My sister is uncomfortable in that class when that kid is around.
I hate you for telling the world that black people aren't good enough unless they are at the back of the class, shutting the fuck up. I hate everything at this moment.
If racism completely alters my brother's perception of himself, i will cry. I will rage. And I will be called the angry black fucking woman.
And tomorrow and the rest of his childhood, he's going to have to get over this and pretend it doesn't happen. Pretend racism doesn't happen.
If these yokels really wanted to deal with spending, they'd repeal the Bush tax cuts and take a hard look at reducing the war and homeland security budgets.
These measures would save us trillions, but this isn't about saving money. It's about attacking minorities and the poor, whom Republicans falsely believe to be the major recipients of welfare. It's also about whipping hypocritical jesus freaks into a frenzy about a nonexistent epidemic of welfare fraud. (See Frothy's statements about welfare from the Iowa Caucuses if you think I'm wrong.)
'Welfare' accounts for, what, maybe five or six percent of the federal budget at most, though every Republican candidate makes sure to attack it in their campaign speeches. We see Republican governors across the country trying their hardest to pass new, regressive systems of taxation in their states that decrease the value that people receive for their tax dollars while raising their tax burden significantly. Many governors are also cutting the little they do spend on welfare so they can hand out greater tax benefits to corporations that aren't creating jobs, as if the last three years haven't given us enough empirical proof that bribing corporations who promise to create jobs is a failed policy. (unless, of course, you count outsourcing.)
And none of these Republicans complained when we gave trillions in corporate welfare to their golf buddies running companies that have laid off tens of thousands, failing to create a single freaking job. This is about hatred for the poor and minorities, plain and simple.
what if the republicans win
what if santorum wins
and outlaws blowjobs
This is a legitimate fear that I have.
Poll: Given Choice Between Romney and Santorum, Most Voters Choose Suicide
DETROIT (The Borowitz Report) – With just one day until the key Republican contests in Michigan and Arizona, a new survey of likely voters indicates that in a match-up between former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, a majority would choose suicide over either candidate.
The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota's Opinion Research Institute, shows Mr. Romney drawing 21%, Mr. Santorum 18%, and various forms of suicide 61%.
"Throwing yourself in front of a speeding city bus" was the most popular means of suicide at 22%, with "jumping off the roof of a really tall building or bridge" coming in second at 17%.
According to pollster Davis Logsdon, the surging popularity of suicide bodes ill for both Gov. Romney and Sen. Santorum as presidential candidates in 2012.
"It's still early, but even at this stage of the game the prospect of one of those two being nominated shouldn't be making voters want to kill themselves in these numbers," Mr. Logsdon said.
Reached on the campaign trail in Lansing, Mr. Romney pointed out that while he did not do as well as suicide, he still polled higher than Sen. Santorum, adding, "That's better than a sharp stick in the eye."
But Mr. Logsdon was quick to throw cold water on Mr. Romney's upbeat assessment: "In a head-to-head match-up, a sharp stick in the eye beats Romney by a two-to-one margin."
Elsewhere, Academy Award voters hailed "The Artist" as the ultimate fantasy film, since it depicts a world in which the French are silent.
Steve just made a buttsex joke that was basically just "rumpleforeskin."

Mariners and Everett Extend Player Development Contract
Seattle Mariners Vice President of Baseball Operations Jack Zduriencik and Director of Player Development Chris Gwynn have announced the extension of the Player Development Contract with the Everett AquaSox, the Mariners Short-A affiliate in the Northwest League. The Player Development Contract, which would have run out at the end of the 2014 season, has been extended to cover the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
"It is wonderful for the Seattle Mariners organization to have a Northwest affiliate so close to Seattle," said Mariners General Manager Jack Zduriencik. "We have a great relationship with the Everett AquaSox ownership and everyone involved with the entire operation. It is great that the AquaSox and the Mariners can share such a strong fan base in the Northwest. We enjoy working closely with the AquaSox franchise as we develop Major League talent."
"We are pleased to extend our partnership with the Mariners," said AquaSox Executive Vice President Tom Backemeyer, "And we are excited that future Mariners will continue to get their start here in Everett."
The AquaSox have been affiliated with the Seattle Mariners for 20 seasons, becoming the Mariners affiliate in the Northwest League on September 12, 1994. The AquaSox play their home games at Everett Memorial Stadium, located in Everett, Wash., less than 30 miles north of Seattle.
"We're delighted to renew our affiliation with the Everett AquaSox," said Mariners Director of Player Development Chris Gwynn. "The city of Everett and the AquaSox fan-base have always been great supporters of our minor leaguers and the entire Mariners organization and we're looking forward to continuing to bring a great brand of baseball to the area for years to come."
The AquaSox franchise has helped develop current Mariners Willie Bloomquist, Felix Hernandez, James Jones, Dominic Leone, Yoervis Medina, Michael Saunders, Tom Wilhelmsen and Mike Zunino.
The current Everett roster includes 2014 draft picks RHP Dan Altavilla (5th), RHP Kody Kerski (8th), C Adam Martin (10th), INF Chris Mariscal (14th), RHP Vinny Nittoli (25th), INF Sheehan Planas-Arteaga (24th) and INF Taylor Smart (26th).

Tyler Marlette Named MLB.com's No. 10 Catching Prospect
MLBPipeline.com's 2014 Top 100 Prospects list will be unveiled on Thursday, Jan. 23, on MLB.com, as well as during a one-hour show on MLB Network airing at 7 pm PT. Leading up to that, MLBPipeline.com takes a look at baseball's Top 10 prospects at each position.
The top 10 catching prospects were announced today, and the Mariners Tyler Marlette is listed No. 10 on the list. Here is what MLB.com had to say about Tyler:
Tyler Marlette, Mariners: Not every catching prospect was a high Draft pick or big international signing. The Mariners nabbed Marlette in the 5thround in the 2011 Draft, and he's slowly developing into an intriguing power-hitting prospect. He has the chance to hit some long balls and for a decent average. He has good arm strength and his other defensive skills have started to catch up a bit. Marlette could put up some silly numbers in the California League this year on his way up the ladder.
Marlette, 20, appeared in 75 games for Clinton last season in the Single-A Midwest League. He batted .304 (82×270) with 17 doubles, 6 home runs and 37 RBI. Behind the plate he threw out 37.8 percent of attempted base stealers (28 of 74). Marlette was originally selected by the Mariners in the 5th round of the 2011 June Draft out of Hagerty High School (Oviedo, FL).
And in case you haven't seen it, Tyler and several of his Clinton teammates last night are quite the actors starring in several Wahl Grooming commercials. Check them out below and see if you can spot Tyler!

Welcome Back Dan Wilson
He has remained a part of the Mariners family since he retired from baseball in 2005, whether it was on TV & Radio broadcasts, on the Mariners Caravan or at FanFest, but now Dan Wilson is officially back in a Mariners uniform as the Minor League Catching Coordinator.
In his new role, Dan will work with Mariners catchers at all levels, beginning during Spring Training and continuing throughout the minor league season. He will travel to each of the Mariners affiliates several times during the season to work with Seattle's young catchers.
Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik echoed the thoughts of all Mariners fans:
"We are happy to have Dan, one of our former players, affiliated with us," Zduriencik said. "His on-field experience and passion for the Mariners organization makes him a great fit in his new role with us. We are looking forward to Dan's contributions as he spends hands-on time with our players."
Wilson, 44, spent 14 seasons catching in the Majors, debuting with Cincinnati (1992-93) and spending the bulk of his career with the Mariners (1994-2005). He has caught more games (1,281) than any other player in Mariners history and was the starting catcher on every Mariners team to reach the post-season. Dan owns the Mariners career record for home runs by a catcher (88, including 2 inside-the-park homers), and the Club's single-season records for catchers RBI (83, 1996) and home runs (18, 1996).
Dan ended his career with a .995 fielding percentage, at the time the highest for any catcher in American League history, and the sixth-highest in Major League history. Wilson was an American League All-Star in 1996, and was inducted into the Mariners Hall of Fame in 2012.
In addition to his on-field accomplishments Dan, and his family, have played an active philanthropic role in the Seattle community. Dan and his wife, Annie, were the 2012-2013 United Way of King County annual campaign co-chairs, and have long supported First Place School, the adoption agency All God's Children International and Seattle Children's Hospital.
Romero Homers Twice in Fall League All-Star Game
Mariners outfield prospect Stefen Romero wasn't in the starting lineup for the West squad in the 2013 Arizona Fall League All-Star game, but that didn't stop him from having a great performance. Romero entered the game in the 6th inning and went 2-for-2 with 2 home runs (both to the opposite field) with 3 RBI.
In a story by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo, Romero talked about his big performance.
"I was just trying square the ball up," said Romero, who helped the West beat the East, 9-2. "Coming in, I knew we were up early. I felt like they were going to try to get ahead of me early. Luckily, my first at-bat, I jumped on a fastball right away up in the zone. Luckily, it went out, a wall-scraper. Second at-bat, I just wanted to be a little more patient. Fortunately, he got a slider up and I did the same thing."
Here is a video from MLB.com of Romero's home runs:
2013 Season in Review
Minor League Spotlight – The Rainiers Big Night
The Mariners Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers, accomplished something last night that not many teams have ever done. The Rainiers recorded 30 hits and scored 25 runs en route to a 25-6 win over Colorado Springs on Wednesday night. The 25 runs scored are the most since the Rainiers became affiliated with the Mariners in 1995. The previous high was 24 runs scored on June 6, 2011 at Tucson. The 30 hits is also a Rainiers-era franchise record, besting the previous hit of 25 on June 28, 2004 at Sacramento. The Rainiers recorded at least 2 runs in each of the first 7.0 inning and 5-or-more runs in 3 different innings. Tacoma jumped out to an early lead with 6 runs in the first inning and capped off the evening with a 7-run 7th inning. With the win the Rainiers recorded their 33rd win of the season and moved 1.5 games ahead of Colorado Springs in the Pacific League Northern Division. With the win last night, Tacoma moved 12 games over .500 for the first time since August 1, 2010.
Since 2005, the Rainiers are the 5th minor league team to score at least 25 runs and record at least 30 hits in a game. The Rainiers join the Visalia Rawhide in the California League (5/15/12 at High Desert, 26 runs, 31 hits), Lake Elsinore in the California League (6/28/09 at High Desert, 33 runs, 32 hits), Vaqueros Laguna in the Mexican League (7/5/08 at Pericos de Puebla, 30 runs, 30 hits) and Diablos Rojos del Mexico in the Mexican League (4/3/07 vs. Potros de Tijuana, 26 runs, 31 hits) as the only minor league teams to accomplish this feat in the last 8 seasons.
Four Rainiers recorded at least 4 hits, and all 9 players in the starting lineup turned in multi-hit outings. CF Abe Almonte (6×6, 4 R, 2 RBI, BB), who was acquired from the New York Yankees in exchange for RHP Shawn Kelley during Spring Training, recorded 6 singles and became the first Rainiers player to collect 6 hits in a single game since Jerry Owens on August 25, 2009 at Fresno. He is one of only 3 minor league players to record at 6 hits in a game this season, joining Alan Sanchez of Oaxaca in the Mexican League (6×8, 5 R, 2 RBI, BB – 5/9/13 vs. Carmen) and Moises Sierra with Buffalo in the International League (6×6, 5 R, 2B, 3B, 3 RBI – 4/18/13 at Syracuse). Almonte is batting .515 (17×33) with 9 runs scored, 2 doubles, 10 RBI, 5 walks and 3 stolen base in his first 12 games with Tacoma since being promoted from AA Jackson on May 13.
2B Dustin Ackley (5×6, 4 R, HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB) reached base in 7 of 8 plate appearances, while LF/RF Eric Thames (4×7, R, 2B, 2 RBI) and 3B Nate Tenbrink (4×6, 4 R, 2 2B, HR, 4 RBI, BB) each recorded 4 hits and reached base safely 5 times. Thames joined SS Brad Miller (3×7, 3 R, 2B, HR, 6 RBI) driving in a team-high 6 runs. Miller hit his first Triple-A home run with a 3-run blast in the 6th inning.
Starter Andrew Carraway (6.0,6,2,2,3,4,HR) recorded his 6th win of the season, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits in 6.0 innings. Carraway is 6-0 with a 2.47 ERA (15 ER, 54.2 IP) with 18 walks and 44 strikeouts in his last 9 starts. He has recorded 7 quality starts this season, including one in 6 of his last 7 starts.
Rainiers starting lineup on 5/29 at Colorado Springs:
- Dustin Ackley – 2B (5×6, 4 R, HR, 3 HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB)
- Franklin Gutierrez –RF (2×6, 2 R, 2 2B, RBI, BB)

I remember dad brought to my sister and me Vangelis tape from some business trip back in '90s when we had sanctions and were literary cut off from the world,and we had only one video store in the town but my folks had good taste fortunately…that was my most precious tape - until it was lost with everything else in the Storm…so i tend to avoid music i've listened in my past,but classics are classics,and Vangelis is a living classic….

oldhollywood:Alfred Hitchcock & the Jeff Alexander Orchestra - Music to be Murdered By (via Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Music to be Murdered By)
In 1958, Alfred Hitchcock released Music to be Murdered By, a collection of moody, ominous-sounding orchestral numbers. Hitchcock introduces each track with his signature droll humor.
With this album, Hitch was aiming to serve a long-neglected demographic. As he explains in the liner notes:
"These days a murder is amusing for the onlookers and the murderer but no one thinks of making things pleasant for the victim. He may be a tiresome bore but he is still rather essential and is entitled to some consideration. Music, I feel, will heighten his appreciation and make his own murder the truly ennobling experience it should be."

Stetson University tests new emergency alert system
IntelliGuard Systems solution deployed on university's campus
DELAND, FLA – June 2 – Stetson University announced today its plan to incorporate a new state-of-the-art emergency alert system into its campus safety program this fall. The system, designed by IntelliGuard Systems, LLC, provides simultaneous emergency notification to the campus population in a matter of seconds. Through advances in micro technology, the IntelliGuard System delivers emergency messages and instructions in less than 20 seconds through dedicated messaging devices, proving an integral asset to Stetson's ability to distinguish itself among fellow universities.
"With dangerous events erupting on school campuses around the country, the number-one question we get from parents is how are we going to keep their son or daughter safe?" said Bill Penney, Associate Vice President of IT and Chief Information Officer for Stetson University. "It's an extraordinarily important question that no one was asking 10 years ago. Like many universities, Stetson has a rich, academic tradition and great history, but we're differentiating ourselves by making campus safety a priority."
A technology industry veteran, Penney had conducted an exhaustive search for a product that enabled emergency messaging direct to classrooms but found all options cost-prohibitive. "When faculty instructs students to turn off their cell phones during class, that left us with a real gap in our emergency communication system," he explained. Stetson currently employs an emergency alert system that utilizes SMS text messaging, which is dependent on cell phones being on and a system clear of network traffic to successfully reach the campus population in a timely manner. Stetson also employs reverse 911, which enables a 30-second voice message to be sent to all cell and internal phones, but the system is quite costly to operate and has not yet been utilized. Penney was very impressed that the IntelliGuard emergency messages were received simultaneously in all areas in less than 14 seconds of dispatch, and that the new system was not only one hundred percent dependable but absolutely affordable.
Elements of the IntelliGuard System tested at Stetson included the RAVENAlert Keychain, which emits a loud audible alert and vibration upon receipt of an emergency message, guiding students, faculty and staff out of harm's way. Scattering across and within two to three miles of Stetson's 175-acre campus, dozens of participants were provided a RAVENAlert Keychain, which weighs less than an ounce and is about two and a quarter inches long. Incoming students will be offered the opportunity to purchase this device. Stetson also tested the RAVENAlert Wall Unit, which mounted in all classrooms and critical locations, flashes a red light with audible alarm and a backlit text message that gets converted to speech. Unlike competing systems that require an extensive network of cables to be run inside the walls, the RAVENAlert™ Wall Unit requires only simple mounting, which will preserve the integrity of Stetson's historic buildings once installed. The third component tested, the RAVENAlert Digital Sign, is for high-traffic public venues and will be positioned in Stetson's library and cafeteria.

By Lauren
I enjoy
watching the world
from under the surface
the wet, crystalline view
to most - just
watching them all
floating by – eternal
in reverberations
sometimes it takes
a muffled
distortion to
find clarity - I would
stay there evermore, if
I wasn't a
slave to the
air - it is my
element, my burden
keeping me above that
limpid surface
if I must
breathe, up above,
I will envy the clouds
in flight and watch the stars
glisten, their glow
upon the swells
but still I prefer my
depths - where light can be bent
and rules can be
broken – there
is no greater
spectacle than being
wrong when it produces
something so right
I wonder
was there ever
a desire so strong
that it changed the whole world?
changed a person?
I wonder
if my plea is
heard, through pulsating waves
of longing - the deepest
yearning - I
crave that change
from under the surface
Warrior Of The Light by Danielle Nicole Cooper
I am everything you see
I am in the air you breathe
I am the beginning
I have no end
I am your eternal friend
Here and now
Now and then
I am there
No matter when
No matter where
Behind the disguise
A million stars make the light
That shines within your eyes
A fragment of the divine
Sent to earth to shine
The curse of separation
To find true appreciation
To learn to resist earthly temptations
A masterclass in turning dark to light
To rise above the fear and fright
To remember who you are
A fallen star
In times of need
The people plead
From the highest order
They sent you to a place
Of chaos and disorder
Still your beacon burns bright
A fearless warrior of the light
Even if I can't see you,
Even if I can't hear you or touch you.
Even if I never meet you
Even if I never know of your existence or you of mine.
Even if all I've ever known is a lie and I am just part a dream.
Even if I lose myself and lose you.
I love you.
I love with all my being for all beings of all of existence.
Even If I cannot change the world
Even If I am truly insignificant and ignorant.
Even if I have no soul and am just a brain a heart and body.
Even if my death means no more existence.
Even if my memory is forgotten for all time.
Even if existence is meaningless.
All the more do I love you.
All the more do I love you all.
All the more do I love myself.
If I am to have a reason to live. If reason is what you ask for.
Then I give you this.
I give you unconditional love for all humankind, for all Earth kind for all universal kind.
For all and for one.
Even though the world is sometimes overwhelming
And overwhelmed is what I feel.
And at the end of the day… if you take it all away. I still love you.
Kill me. Break me. Make me feel worthless. You kill yourself, you break yourself, you make yourself feel worthless.
And I forgive you. Because if I would define myself… it would not be an identity, that's just a small part of me.
I am free…
I am love. I am whole. I am so very limited but mind blowing complexity. And also I am limitless and pure innocent simplicity.
I am a moment that goes on forever, an experience of so many perceptions.
I give myself my reason and meaning . I am just a single being.
And I let go right now of fear and judgement.
Expose myself, my vulnerability.
And I smile.
I'm alive. I am real. and that is my miracle and gift to you, as you are to me.
I am grateful
I surrender to myself and all that I am.
And I find love again.
As i began to intuitively think, drifting deeper an deeper feeling my subconscious silently speak. the in site from within guides me to naturally peak. the future is the past through every moment we seek. the glass is no longer full if the cracks are causing a leak, learning strength from negative, is merely the positive in need of a tweak. A dream is the subconscious, guiding you when we physical sleep, but why is it we consciously dream? being kept so close to the distance we perceive. if we all continue drifting of course then we would lack insite to see, that unconditional love from our hearts is one of the most important things we will ever need. ;) so i will continue to proceed as i find the intuitive me.


text: "Rose… before I go, I just want to tell you: you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what?" I think parting lines from the Doctor are really important. This is my favorite. David Tennant's "I don't want to go." summed up the feelings of people watching, but it was SO. SAD. This line, however, does so well in helping us say goodbye to Christopher Eccleston. It's such a joyous line, and it warms my heart and at the same time shatters it.

SInce 1929, our primary focus has been to offer our golfers a truly enjoyable day on the golf course, and to make sure that our golfers are excited & eager to return... week after week... month after month... year after year. That dedicated approach has helped make us one of New England's most popular 18-hole golf courses for nearly nine decades, dating all the way back to the days of Golf's original icons, including the great Bobby Jones & local hero Francis Ouimet.
So, if you haven't yet exerienced a great day of golf at Sagamore Spring Golf Club, we sincerely hope that you'll 'give us a shot' this season... And if you have strolled our fairways before, we look forward to welcoming you back... Here's to a memorable golf season!
