Chicago Bears returner Devin Hester set an NFL record on Monday night with his 14th career runback of a kick or punt return for a TD.
Hester took a 64-yard punt return back against the Minnesota Vikings for a TD. It elevated him above Brian Mitchell for first place all time in combined kick and punt return scores.
It was his 10th career punt return TD, which also tied him with Eric Metcalf for most punt return TDs. Hester has played in 74 career games, while Metcalf played in 179.
Hester had tied Mitchell for most combined return TDs in Week 6 when he took a punt back 89 yards for a score. Mitchell recorded his 13 return TDs in 463 career games.

Tresorit protects the files you never want leaked or lost. Work with your most sensitive documents without second thoughts. Stay in control – even when you share with coworkers, clients or vendors.
Tresorit is the most secure way to store and share files in the cloud. No Tresorit admin, hacker or government can access the data you store. Hacking just one file would take a lifetime.
Tresorit uses "end-to-end encryption" to guarantee the security of the uploaded file. Your files are encrypted before they leave your device and remain fully encrypted until they reach the recipient. Only you have the keys to open or share them.
Secure services are usually a pain to use, but Tresorit's ease of use has been praised by Forbes, PCWorld and thousands of users. Our ratings on all app stores rival those of Dropbox.
Tresorit's Headquarter is in Switzerland. User data is protected by Swiss privacy laws, which are stricter than those in the USA, and even in the European Union. Our R&D center is in Budapest, Hungary. Partner offices are located in the UK, the US, and around the world.
User data is protected by Swiss privacy laws, which are stricter than those in the USA, and even in the European Union.
Tresorit runs on multiple Microsoft Azure datacenters located in the European Union (Ireland and the Netherlands).
If everyone on your team has a Business account, you can decide where Tresorit can be accessed from, control what your users store and limit sharing. You can suspend a coworker's account at any time and see activity for your whole team.
Yes! Tresorit Solo is designed for individual users with best-in-class encryption & Swiss privacy. Store all your files securely, access them anywhere, and share with control. You can learn more and get started with Tresorit Solo here.
Tresorit's end-to-end encryption technology secures your files on your device using some of the highest grade encryption methods available. Your files can't be decrypted in the cloud. This makes them safer than "safe". No one else has the decryption key, not even Tresorit administrators. Only you and those who you share with have access.
Tresorit encrypts every file and relevant metadata on your devices with unique, randomly generated encryption keys. These keys are never stored in unencrypted form on the cloud. Accessing files is only possible with a user's unique private decryption key.
Tresorit does not store your password, only a salted hash format, which we can authenticate you with. As Tresorit never has access to your password in unencrypted form, even if our servers were hacked, your account would be safe from harm.
Tresorit is HIPAA compliant and offers HIPAA BAA (Business Associate Agreements) addendums to Business and Enterprise customers.
Disaster proof and protected by 24/7 physical security, our datacenters are also compliant with HIPAA, ISO27001:2013 and a host of other certifications.
No, unless you explicitly choose to share the files with them.
Tresorit encrypts data before it leaves your device, so it's not accessible even if someone has access to the corporate network. This ensures security even if the internal system is compromised.
Tresorit protects the files you never want leaked or lost. Work with your most sensitive documents without second thoughts. Use Tresorit to keep control – even when you share with coworkers, clients or vendors.
Tresorit is available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Blackberry devices, and you can also access our service from any web browser.
Tresorit allows you to turn your local folders, and the files in them, into tresors – encrypted folders in the cloud. Changes to files are automatically synced between your local folder, and any devices on which you have installed Tresorit or where tresors are being shared. If you don't want to synchronize a folder to your device, you can also create 'cloud-only' tresors within the Tresorit applications, and upload folders or files into it.
You will receive notification of any changes on desktop devices
You can also open the Activity Wall of a tresor to see changes and, for a detailed audit trail export the Activity Wall history to a .csv file.
There are no accidental overwrites when two people modify the same file at the same time. Tresorit automatically detects the overlapping modifications and gives you the chance to review and resolve the conflict.
To access older versions of files, right click on the file in the Tresorit cloud browser and select See Versions. With Tresorit for Business an unlimited number of versions are stored and without impacting user storage limits.
Don't let Dropbox and others decide who can see your files. With end-to-end encryption you don't need to blindly trust your cloud provider. It would take a 1000 years to break the encryption of Tresorit.
Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and others claim that data is "safe" with them, but they don't protect your files the way we do.
They may encrypt your data but they have the encryption key and the files get decrypted on their servers every time they are accessed.
Their administrators can see your files, and so can anyone who manages to gain access to their systems. Learn more how Tresorit security compares to others on Tresorit Comparison Page.
Dropbox became popular years ago, when data security threats were not as prevalent as they are today. And when it comes to security, there are serious doubts about Dropbox.
Using Tresorit your files will be completely secure. End-to-end encryption means you hold the keys to your data. You have total control over shared documents.
Tresorit's main difference compared to Dropbox, and other mainstream cloud storage services, is the ability to turn any folder on your device into a secure "tresor." What this means is that you do not have to drag and drop files into a special sync folder. Instead, you can drag any folder from its existing location on your computer into the Tresorit app to "tresor it." This is especially convenient if you're digitally organized and you'd prefer not to rearrange your files into one sync-able folder.
Read more about why Tresorit is the #1 secure Dropbox alternative.
Only a few providers offer client-side file encryption. The most popular is SpiderOak. But, SpiderOak has two main flaws:
Additionally, SpiderOak is not zero-knowledge when used on mobile devices or a web-browser. By using so-called convergent cryptography, they sacrifice confidentiality to save storage space. Convergent algorithms enable Spider Oak to determine when your content matches the content of others in the cloud. This can leak valuable information about you to outside observers. Read more about how Tresorit compares to SpiderOak.
Services like Sookasa, Viivo, BoxCryptor and Ncrypted cloud have three main disadvantages when compared to Tresorit:
Tresorit encryption takes place in the background. There's no margin of error, as users don't have to lift a finger. It's also easy to share files securely with others, even if they don't use Tresorit.
Setting up encrypted email is tedious, and less tech-savvy users may struggle to set it up correctly.
Once the Tresorit app is installed, the user can create an encrypted email attachment from any file on their computer – even if it's not in a tresor. All the user has to do is right click the file (or a compressed file) that they wish to send as a secure attachment. Tresorit prepares the link – allowing users to set expiration date and download limits – and places it in the Link folder from where it can be fired off as an email attachment.
You can get started in 5 minutes and your files will not be hacked, leaked or lost ever again. Every Tresorit subscription comes with a free trial period, so you can test our security and features completely risk-free. We also offer a 100% money-back guarantee.

Algae, an Ancient Food
Published: July 15, 1992
To The Living Section:
Thank you for your informative article on innovative foods and blue-green algae [ "Pass the Spelt. A Little Ketchup With Your Algae?" June 24 ] . I wanted to clarify three points.
Blue-green algae is an ancient food that has been around for millions of years, consumed by the Aztecs of Mexico, the Incas of Peru and the Kanembu natives of Chad. Scientifically known as Aphonizomenon flos aquae, this blue-green algae was rediscovered by Daryl Kollman in 1976. After six years of research, Mr. Kollman founded Cell Tech Inc. and named this algae Super Blue-Green Algae. For more than 10 years, Cell Tech has been the major harvester of this algae from Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon. Cell Tech's harvesting and processing site is at the source of the lake, eliminating the need for unpredictable transportation and preserving the algae's delicate intrinsic value. More importantly, Cell Tech's harvest site does not interfere with the ecosystem of the lake.
Environmentalists need not be too concerned. This algae grows wild in one of the world's richest natural "nutrient traps." Thirty-five feet of mineral-rich sediment has settled to the bottom of this 35-mile-long lake from tens of thousands of years of rain and snow that has washed down from the Cascade Mountains. Just the top inch of this rich sediment would support algae growth for the next 60 years. The algae is so prolific that under optimum conditions, its cell regeneration time occurs in two to three hours. This lake could provide everyone on earth one gram of algae a day and never run out.

Novell's iManager hasn't worked for me since I freshly installed my Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) SP2 linux server. When I access http://myserversip/nps (or https://10.0.0.26/iManager.html), I'm presented with the iManager login screen, but when I enter my credentials I receive the following error:
Server Error 500
Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script
Most articles and posts I read pointed to tomcat as the culprit. iManager 2.5 has had several security issues, so the recommended action is to upgrade to 2.6, which I had planned on doing some day… just not today.
I didn't find much information regarding upgrading from iManager 2.5 to 2.6 on OES Linux, so I just decided to wing it , and had to perform a lot of trial and error troubleshooting during the process.
This is how I performed the upgrade:
1) From the Novell Download site, download the version of iManager 2.6 appropriate for your operating system (I selected the Linux version for OES). You will have to login to Novell in order to access the files, if you don't have a Novell account you can get one here.
2) Change to the directory you saved the iManager file download in. Extract the files using the following syntax: (note it is case sensitive)
tar -zxvf iMan_26_linux.tgz
3) change to the directory where the binary file is located using the following syntax:
cd /iManager/installs/linux
4) To being the setup program, type:
(you can get more detailed information on installing iManager 2.6 here)
5) Select 2 to install in English or select your language of choice
6) Press enter several times, then Y to accept the license agreement
7) Press enter to accept all the default installation options. I would only change these if you really know what you're doing.
8) Sit back and prepare to wait a while. On my brand new Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 4GB of RAM the install took about 20 minutes. After the install has completed, I suggest you reboot, then verify iManager 2.6 is accessible (default login page is https://yourserverip/nps/iManager.html), but it's your call. I'm glad I tried, because when I tried to authenticate I received the following error:
Unable to initialize JClient: java.lang.Error: Unable to initialize DClient
TID 10100826 explains the problem has to do with NICI, which doesn't play nice with Tomcat and makes it so you can't login any more. This TID says to rename the /var/novell/nici/101 directory and restart tomcat to fix this issue, but I don't have a 101 directory in /var/novell/nici. I thought maybe the 101 was maybe a subdirectory of some other nici directory, so I searched and found the serveer did have the following nici directories:
/var/opt/novell/nici – contained 8 files and 1 folder named '0' (thats a zero, not a small o)
/opt/novell/oes-install/nici – directory was empty
/opt/novell/oes_install/nici – only contained a ########.nfk file, which is a license file.
So I went ahead and renamed the /var/opt/novell/nici/0 folder to 0.old and restarted tomcat with the following command:
rctomcat restart
I tried to login to iManager again, and I received the same Jclient error shown above.
TID 10077278 said to edit the environment variable found in the tomcat.sh file, but I couldn't find a tomcat.sh file on my server (tomcat run just fine, incidently).
I found this post that sets up nici in server rather than client mode. To fix nici, I did:
1) Renamed the /var/opt/novell/nicifk file.
2) Copied my ########.nkf file from /opt/novell/oes_install/nici to the /var/opt/novell directory
3) Renamed my ########.nkf file from step 2 nicifk
4) Assigned the same rights to the new nicifk file that the old nicifk file had, which were -r-xr-xr-x. To do this, I typed:
chmod 555 nicifk
5) From the /var/opt/novell/ directory I tried to regenerate the '0' directory by running primenici, but I received the following error:
Initializing NICI… sh: line 1: /var/novell/nici/nicimud: No such file or directory
failed, error -1497
To fix the error -1497, I found this post which talks about creating soft links to nici folders because of an eDirectory 8.8 upgrade (which we don't use, all servers are still on eDir 8.7.3). To fix this particular nici error, I typed:
ln -sf /var/opt/novell/nici /var/novell/nici
and the '0' directory was recreated for me! I felt like I was finally getting somewhere!
To restart tomcat, I typed:
rctomcat restart
then tried to login to iManager again, but to my dismay, still experienced the Jclient/Dclient error.
So I rebooted the server and went to get some lunch. When I tried to access iManager again, I received a different error:
NDS Error -626
(Error -626) The object could not be found. It is possible that the object exists, but the server could not communicate with the server holding a copy of the object.
This error sounded like it could be fixed by adding a replica to the OES server, and since I was planning on doing it eventually anyway, I used ConsoleOne to create a read only replica.
I waited for the Current Sync Error condition to change to No Error in C1's replica information screen, then restarted tomcat. I held my breath as I attempted to login to iManager 2.6 (no SP), and it worked! I rebooted the server once again just to make sure it was really working, and once again I logged in without problems!
Once your iManager has been upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6, we can apply iManager 2.6 SP3, which is the most recent update as of June 27, 2007. Go download iManager Support Pack 3. Once again, you have to login to your Novell account to get this update.

It's impossible to always find the source of itchy dog skin.
In the winter it's often dry skin aggravated by a heater. In humid environments it seems to be mold that causes the biggest problems. In dry areas, dust mites can be a contributor. A low percentage of dogs are allergic to certain food ingredients.
But by far the largest factor is inhaled allergens. In the spring this is usually tree pollen. In the summer, grass pollen. In the fall, weeds and flowers.
Genetic factors are a huge contributor too. Dog breeds that come from a very small gene pool are prone to allergies. Smaller dogs seems to suffer more itching, again because of the genetic influence of selecting for smaller and smaller puppies. Luckily, smaller dogs rarely do serious skin damage or worry a single spot. They will often produce reddish stains caused by a reaction of their saliva and skin and hair, but that's usually the extent of the problem, except for the licking itself.
White or pink skinned dogs are sensitive to everything. They get dry skin, sunburn, allergies, you name it. They are also prone to secondary infections, rashes and sores.
Larger breeds will often chew the hair off, or focus on a particular spot on their leg or paw. Instead of just licking, they will use their teeth and scrape off hair and skin. Bigger dogs are at a more serious risk of long-term chronic problems. Early stage treatment is important to make sure it doesn't develop complications.
English bulldogs have further complications. They will often develop cysts between their toes, usually on the back feet. There are a dozen theories as to why, but it's obviously in their genes. Few other breeds have this problem. Dermapaw can help reduce swelling and discomfort of interdigital cysts. We have dozens of English bulldog customers that use it primarily for this.
Keratosis is the weird knobbly, scaly skin that often looks like mud on your dog's nose. It's fairly harmless but it looks uncomfortable and can itch and crack. Dermapaw helps soothe your dog's itchy nose and replace any lost oils. It feels nice and smells good.
Some dogs will develop keratosis on the bottom of their paws. Dachshunds are prone to this. It looks like bumply, scaly stalagtites. Sometimes there is hair growing out of it. Rub Dermapaw into the cracks and between your dog's toes. It won't prevent the keratosis, but it should make it feel better.
Despite all the things that could be causing your dog's skin to itch, there's very little you can do about most of them. There are also no cures on the horizon for allergies, or generalized dry, sensitive, inflamed skin.
So the options narrow down to symptom management. Overall, you want to keep your dog's skin in the best physical shape possible. Reduce the inflammatory response. Provide protection against bacteria and the environment.
The more things you can do to help your dog's skin feel better, the less he will lick his paws.
Hopefully, you can find a combination that will keep problems under control, and licking to a minimum.

Personal Health
By Jane E. Brody
Published: March 3, 1993
BY now your skin has probably had it with winter. Assaulted by hot and dry indoor air, cold and dry outdoor air, wind and, yes, sun, it has become dry, shriveled, flaky, perhaps even cracked and sore and, worst of all, itchy.
Chances are you have had this problem for years and have bought all kinds of lotions, creams, soaps, bath oils and other products advertised to keep your skin baby soft and pliable, despite winter's assaults. But even those "gourmet" skin products with two-digit price tags have let you down time and again.
Take heart. There are solutions to your problem that will neither wreck your budget nor consume very much time. Nor do you have to feel like a greased pig to protect that outermost layer of your body, which is supposed to be protecting you. How Dry I Am
If your skin could talk, it would yell loud and long for water, cool, clear water. For the problems skin has with winter all start with dehydration, both external and internal. And the solutions involve keeping the skin in the hydrated state it would have if you lived in a warm, humid climate.
A Clarkson University chemist who has studied the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, has challenged some assumptions about skin and skin-care products and may have developed a new way to keep skin soft.
The chemist, Dr. Stig E. Friberg, realizing that the secret of soft, pliable skin is to keep it laced with water, looked into what happens to the stratum corneum's structure when it is well hydrated. Then he tried to create the effect of hydration with an externally applied substance. He says that good hydration maintains the wiggliness of long hydrocarbon chains of lipids, or fats, in the stratum corneum. without enough water, the lipids become rigid and the skin becomes dry and flaky and feels as if it would tear if stretched.
Dr. Friberg believes rigidity of lipids in the skin explains why some people's skin is more susceptible to winter dryness than others' and why dry skin runs in families. Some people, he says, are genetically programmed to produce lipids with hydrocarbon chains that tend to become locked into a rigid chemical structure when the skin's water content is low.
To counteract this he developed a substance based on soybean oil that penetrates the stratum corneum, where it mixes with the lipids to prevent them from locking together. The result, he says, is a more flexible structure that is better able to resist cracking and flaking. His theory has been incorporated in some cosmetic products as the ingredient listed on the labels as "maleated soybean oil" or "modified soybean-oil product." It is known commercially as Ceraphyl GA. Moistening the Skin
Contrary to what many people think, moisturizers do not add water to the structure of the skin. They simply lie on top of the skin where, to varying degrees, they reduce the loss of water from the skin surface.
There are only two ways to add water to the skin from the outside. One is to live in a climate with an extremely high humidity; humidifying your household air is only minimally effective.
The other way to add water from without is to soak in a tepid bath (without oil or gel in the water) for 20 minutes to get your skin water-logged and then grease up your wet body with a thin layer of an oil-based cream or ointment like Vaseline or Aquaphor. Then pat the skin dry to trap the moisture. Bath oils should be added to the water only after you have been soaking for 10 minutes. (Remember that oil can make the tub slippery and dangerous.)
Skin is most effectively moistened from within by the water you consume. You may not notice evaporative water loss (i.e., sweat) in winter, but you do indeed lose a lot of water from the body's surface and through the moist air you exhale. People who are physically active in winter are especially at risk of dehydration.
"The skin reflects the whole body's water content," Dr. Rachelle Scott, a dermatologist at the New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center, pointed out. "If total body water is insufficient, the skin and mucous membranes feel dry, which is why people often wake up with a stuffy nose in winter."
The obvious solution is to drink lots of hydrating fluids throughout the day. These include plain water (hot or cold), mineral water, seltzer, diluted fruit juices, herb teas, decaffeinated tea and coffee and artificially sweetened drinks. Alcoholic beverages, caffeine-containing drinks and sugary or salty drinks are dehydrating; they either increase water loss through urination or increase the body's total water needs. Strive for eight 8-ounce glasses of hydrating fluids each day. Reducing Dryness
Bathing often dries out the skin. Excessive exposure to water is the main cause of "dishpan hands." Our national cleanliness fetish calls for a daily bath or shower, yet in winter a total body cleansing every other day is more sensible. On alternate days, Dr. Scott suggests a sponge bath in which only the groin area, underarms, hands and feet are washed. Winter swimmers would be wise to "oil up" before plunging in.

Title: Losing
Author: Brooke
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I got this sweet Porn Star sticker and I put it on my laptop. I own that…the sticker not the laptop. Buffy and friends are owned by Joss, Mutant Enemy, 20th Century Fox, The UPN and whoever else has rights to the show.
Summary: Spike's POV is completely fragmented. It's B/S dwelling and B/X in reality.
Distribution: I don't know why anybody would want this, but if somebody does…sure.
Feedback: Definitely!! Tell me if it sucked or if you liked it. Whatever. Just write back!
Authors Note #1: This is a narrative and I wrote it very quickly, which is why there is a lack of complete sentences. Just telling you in case it got confusing. Also you might want to read "Shifting", "Beating", "Breaking, and "Possessing" to get the full affect.
Authors Note #2: Assume that everything, season 1 through 7, is fair game.
This is archived at my group The Unattainable:
She's had her knickers in a bleedin twist all week; like she's honestly surprised that he left. She had to see that one coming a mile away. He's a man…she's her. Her men leave…all but me. I came back for her. I'm the only one who ever came back for her.
Before he left a couple days ago, he asked her why. Why she had kissed me? Done this to him? Why she wanted so desperately to be miserable? What the fuck was the matter with her that she would do any and all to *not* be happy?
Harris cursed at her. I heard him do it, but I doubt anybody else in the house did. The most anybody had seen was Buffy red faced and teary eyed hurrying down the hall after her boy. Who was the lap dog then, I wanted to ask her.
Xander didn't say much in the kitchen because Buffy didn't have an explanation. Not one that she could give him and have any chance at winning him back, anyway. She just kept telling him 'I love you…You have to believe that I love you…' Over 'n over.
You know, I never had heard so much venom in a bloke's voice than I did when Harris called her a liar. He felt what I did…I knew it because he didn't rant 'n rave. His love for her was too mature to allow him to demean it with petty dramatics. He just said it. 'Liar'. His voice was deliciously cold and I swear that it made the Slayer shiver.
She had put on those huge doe eyes…a last resort, if you asked me, but nobody did. I was still standing right next to them, but I wasn't even in the room. She was pleading with him, trying to touch him but Xander stayed just out of reach…just like she always was to him, I suppose. While he spoke with a quiet emptiness Buffy outright bawled. Waterworks the likes of which I had never known she was capable of and I had seen her at her lowest. Certainly lower than a break up with her soddin boyfriend…one that *she* had found it in her heart to cheat on.
Not able to be faithful to her best friend…she didn't deserve the right to cry.
I was quite enraptured with the whole situation. I had gotten her. Broken her and had her abandoned by the one man that she had, ironically enough, confessed to me said would never leave her. She told me that Xander said that he would be by her side until the end of forever. She smiled so distantly when she told me that and it made me want to wretch. She liked the idea of the end of forever with him…he made her yearn for that type of promise and it wasn't something she had ever seriously thought of before. He made everything more than 'right now' for her, she said.
The end must be 'round the bloody bend then.
Dawn and another lil Slayer wandered into the kitchen at that point and I remember Buffy sniffling loudly to mask the tears that were still obviously falling. Harris didn't even smile at either of the girls…didn't even speak, and when he turned and I caught his eyes I saw the hollowness in them. He would have matched off with me except he was empty inside. Devoid of emotion for the first time and I wondered what exactly I had done to him. Whatever it was it made me smile behind his back when he left the room. Not because he, per say, was suffering, but because when he turned and left Buffy ran after him. Not crying out for him, but just following like an orphan puppy that had just been kicked. A refreshing look on the Slayer…now she knew what it felt like to be me.
I heard Buffy's bedroom door shut after them and cast a wane smile at Dawn. "Trouble in paradise." I commented dryly. The young Slayer rolled her eyes at the melodramatics and asked if Xander had used the last of Buffy's shampoo again, remembering that when that had happened before Willow had started preparations for WW 3. "Probably." I muttered. It would take a hair trauma for that bitch to show a real emption…until now.
I had her now. I knew how to hurt her so deeply and I did. I had taken what she had wanted most in the world away from her…probably forever. What ever, what ever would my little Goldie Locks do now? I listened outside Buffy's room to Xander going through drawers and the rustling of bags, more pleading and tears and 'I love you's'. He told her that she couldn't possibly. He asked why she had to say it if it wasn't true…why she had to lead him on? He said that he could have lived the rest of his life just being her friend, and that would have been enough; but she made him love her again. She took his love and made him think that he had hers…even when she hadn't said it, he said that he just *knew*, that he could *feel* what she was so afraid of, and now she had broken his heart. A twisted game that always ends with him last in line.
She said it wasn't true. Told him that she had never experienced anything that was so far away from fear than when she told him that she loved him. She told him that he knew that…knew that she wasn't afraid to be with him.
Xander…oh the boy grew a backbone in the span of ten minutes. He would melt if the Slayer looked at him too long, but now he was facing off with her. Coldly emotional and fortified in the fact that he deserved better…he told her that he deserved better. He deserved…
"Your dream?" Buffy's sobs floated through the door. "You said that I was it, and you had me…"
"You said a lot of things that can be taken back too."
She had. I had heard her.
"I deserve to be first, Buffy." At his last straw. "I deserve my dream…the one person who loves me beyond any and all…"
"I do…"
She was pathetic. Crying now, sure…but I knew her. Her crying only lasted so long before she was out trying to numb the pain, or pound the tar out of the object of her frustrations. Either way she would come back to me. Love and hate and it would be blurred because she would be alone and that was what Buffy wanted least in the world. I could fix that for her…I could fix it forever. I could choose to send her away, even, but why would I? At the end of the day, this…this was for her, and she would know that. She would know that I saved her from herself and I would help her find her way again because I would never leave…I couldn't, and I loved her more than…Just more.
"You can't possibly." He was standing closer to the door and I ducked around the corner so that they couldn't see me when he was leaving…and he was leaving. He asked her if she even knew what it meant to love, but then said that it didn't matter...he didn't care. He couldn't afford to care about her anymore because every time he tried she ripped his heart out.
A teary apology. She said that she would make it up to him.
He said the only way she could do that was to go back in time and take it all back. Not kissing me, he said. Take back kissing him. He said that if she could do that then he wouldn't have to loose one of his best friends. He wished she'd never shown him what it was to believe in love at first sight, and that she had never let him believe that he could make her happy. He wasn't 'him', he said.
Him is me. He wasn't me…wasn't what she wanted.
"And I don't want to be." The door opened and he walked out alone. "I don't ever want to be *that* even if it means that I can't have you." He was at the steps, still moving calmly and ignoring the busying halls and mass hurried voices that were echoing around him. He spoke low but I still heard him…suspect that Buffy did too when he said under his breath… "You're not worth it."
The front door shut behind him three days ago, and he had left with a lie. He knew that he would die for that woman. I would die for her. Its just about telling yourself what your heart needs to hear to have the courage to keep you walking away. To close off from the pain that she is capable of causing the ones she 'loves'.
He just left her sitting numbly on the foot of her bed unable to even find real tears. I found her like that, just sitting there and looking at the floor, and I took a seat next to her. Not even a glance in my direction, but I still sat. No need for her to sit alone…for me to not enjoy the situation she created for herself…for her to not have anybody there for her. Somebody who cared and would never leave. Somebody better than a liar.
I didn't even think that she was breathing for a while; she just sat to perfectly still. Still holding my heart in the palm of her hand and squeezing the life out of it the likes of which she would never even be able to understand. I think I love hurting her so much because I'm the only one who can undo it for her…make her feel better. I love when she needs me.
But I didn't fool myself. She had Harris' heart, too, but his was on the heel of her boot. He may have packed a bag, but he left this house with nothing. I had his soul and she had his heart. Maybe I had her soul too…but I didn't want that nearly had much as what I think Xander had. I wanted her everything…
I remember Dawn passing by the room after at least forty minutes of silence and she asked where Xander had gone. Said that he didn't even say bye. Asked why he had a bag. Asked what was the matter with her. Rapid fire questions and Buffy let them hit her like shrapnel. She just sat there and didn't even look up right away.
"Hello? Earth to Buffy." Dawn waved her hand in front of her sister's vacant eyes and she finally looked up. I didn't recognize her voice when she said that it was nothing, he just went out.
"With a bag?" Dawn asked. "Did you guys fight?" But Buffy wasn't paying attention really. She had found it within herself to stand up and she was looking for something on her bureau. I assumed she found it because then, again without uttering a word, turned and headed out of her room and down the stairs. Dawn called out the question I had of where she was going, but right at that moment it wasn't my place to ask. I had to wait for what I knew would come…when she would tell me everything and let me take it all away.
"Out." That was all she said when she left the house.
Dawn had looked at me for an explanation and all I could do was shrug.
"What did you do?!" Willow was the next to confront me. She had come all the way from downstairs to start with me, so I told her.
"Nothing." I hadn't done anything and I was sick of playing the whipping boy. I stood up and pushed my way between the witch and the teenager. Even made my way downstairs without exploding at the looks I was receiving by all those incipient girls. "Why don't you go ask the great heroine…if she finds it in her heart to come back." I passed Giles in the kitchen and I held my hand up when he approached me. Told him it was none of his goddamned business anymore, he had left too. I headed down to the basement and tossed back, to what was left of Buffy's precious Scooby Gang, that it wasn't my fault that they had turned her into a runner.
She stayed gone for a long time that night. She left in the afternoon and I knew that she would go on a long patrol before she returned so I wasn't really expecting her in before 3 in the morning, but the front door didn't unlock until sometime just after 6. I had spent the majority of the evening basking in the knowledge that she more than likely had gone after him and going through her room. Once everybody had drifted off into a widely accepted state of confused slumber I snuck back upstairs and went inside. I could smell her so strongly in there that it made me cringe with pure rage…sigh in unadulterated bliss. Touched her bed and her clothes. Smelled him in there too. Looked at all the pictures, pocketed a few that were just of her. I didn't have any recent ones…
There weren't that many to choose from though; most she was with somebody else. Even Dawn drew away from my focal point and tarnished the value of the snapshot. The ones of she and Xander hurt the most. Them living a life that I wanted. For me and her…just for me. I hated how whole she looked in them even though I loved that beautiful smile he gave her to wear. Most were common place: them reading or sitting next to each other, a few of hugs, and Harris making idiotic faces while she smiled. Always smiling. I just wanted to know why. I had studied them, how he got to her and I wanted to do what he had done. I wanted that laugh for my own ears.
I wandered around that room in the dark and found myself opening the drawers…shifting through their contents haphazardly. Picked up a few more things of hers that I'd keep for old time's sake. And then I happened by a mostly empty one…must have been one of Xander's because all that was let was a couple shirts that would tent the Slayer. I pulled them out and frowned at them. If Buffy could 'love' something covered in that…
That's when I saw them. They were in the back of the drawer…hidden, but saved. Letters. I pulled them out, a stack of them, and sat back on the bed. They hadn't been what I had expected in the least…they were something I didn't even know…
Letters Buffy had written to him. The spelling wasn't perfect that the thoughts were circular and they all said how bloody much he meant to her. How important that ponce was in her life and how she was so very in love with him. She thanked him for showing her how to feel that way and for loving her the same way. For his patience, which she claimed she would die without. She thanked him for holding her, and knowing her, and for being her 'always and for-bleedin-ever'. She wrote him things that I never knew Buffy would even consider…deeper than she ever showed me she could delve.
Notes. Little one liners about any and everything. For his hands…she thanked him profusely for his hands. Told him how much he touched her inside and out. His mouth. For showing her what else he was capable of with it – it could make her cry and laugh and scream and come.
She told him that he was perfect, and if he didn't believe her then to look at her. To look at the smile on her face when she woke up and he was the first person she saw. To look at how she glowed now, because she had him…he gave that to her. He made her feel perfect because he had so much of that quality to give. She said that she didn't believe in perfection before him, and that she wasn't sorry if he felt pressured because of the way she labeled him…if he did he was lying because he had earned it by simply being himself. Every one ended with 'I love you'.
Every one of them was a bold faced lie.
It was no wonder he left. Intense burning lies, over and over.
Those I put back in the drawer. I had thought about taking them, but I thought it would be that much sweeter when she went through what had been his in a fit of desperation and found them. Letters and confessions and memories that he didn't want. If she wasn't broken enough already to seek solace in me, finding that her avowals meant nothing to him now certainly would. Her love meant nothing…less than, and he didn't want it. He was better than it.
I left her room and didn't care if she knew I had been in there. I doubted she could even muster the concern to anyway. I went back down to my cot and lay in the quiet, looking at my pictures again and imagining when that smile would be mine. Imagined my lips on it and the warm real feel of it on me, and I didn't even notice the sun coming up…not until the front door unlocked and footsteps moved heavily up the stairs.
There was no speaking that day either.
Dawn knocked on her door and asked if she wanted lunch and then dinner. Asked if she wanted to take the S.i.T's on patrol or if she had any more leads on the First. She got no answer.
Willow glared at me and Rupes told me that I had better sincerely hope that whatever I did could be rectified, because if it couldn't, and any of his children suffered, I'd surely wish that I could reach hell.
His bloody children. Right. I didn't need to remind him of the fact that he left them…left her, but I did anyway. I knew he was going to hit me before I even got the end of the sentence out, but I just sucked the blood off of my teeth and left the room. He told me to get out of her house. I said that it wasn't his call.
I saw Dawn then, and, looking all the part of the no-parent home, neglected, latch key kid that she was, told me that if I hurt Buffy again that it could be her call. She would make me get out. Just like she would kill me, I thought idly and wondered how quickly alliances wavered in this house. "Lil bit." I shook my head and hoped that one day, one of there people would understand…would comprehend that the Slayer was far from infallible. "Your big sister made her bed. It may not be all roses but she's got to lie in it. Bleedin Slayer's made more mistakes than you'll ever know, but this doesn't concern you…Not to worry, she'll buck up." I would see to that. She didn't like my answer and went off to find her 'Spike Haters Club' vice president. Bugger that. I can't make them like me and I didn't need them to.
I didn't even see the Slayer until that night when she went out again. She didn't say where she was going or that she would see anybody later. She just left. I wondered if she had found him and they were making up. I had thought the night before that maybe that had happened…they had spent the night together, but I knew I was safe when I saw her later. Still crying, or on the verge of. Still moving stoically looking completely empty.
She was gone for hours again. Dawn, Willow and Giles stayed up as long as they could in the living room before deciding to follow the rest of the S.i.T's and turning in. I waited in the basement until I was sure that they had, then I went back upstairs.
She found the letters last night. They were on her bed instead of the drawer. Some of his clothes were out too. Was she reminiscing? Packing for him? Either way she had been crying while doing it. I could smell the tears. I could smell that she had been drinking too, and I knew that she hadn't found him the night before. If she had, it didn't go well.
Did you ever know something was just a matter of time?
That kiss…that one kiss that was exactly how I watched her kiss him was my taste of forever. That was her forever kiss.
I…I could show her mine…
The next day she entered like she had before, but different. It was still early in the morning, and she still smelled the faintest bit of alcohol but it was different. When she woke all of the girls up and called the meeting in the living room we all were in shock.
Bruised and cut. Dried blood and torn clothes. Her hair was a mess and framing a black eye and a cut lip, and yet she still spoke in a mechanically hard tone. Caleb, she said. Caleb did it when she had gone to the vineyard the night before.
"Why in the bloody hell did you go there alone?" Giles was pissed at her for being rash again. I loved her when she was impulsive.
"Are you retarded now?" One of the younger slayers asked. The one who was always with Willow. "Did Xander walking out make you go brain dead?"
"You could have been killed." Willow's voice held its staple genuine concern in an attempt to cover the other girl's brashness.
Buffy ignored them. She shut herself off more and said that whatever it was that the First wanted was in the vineyard. Caleb was guarding it there and they had to go into get it.
"To get the shit beat out of us like you?" Willow's girl asked.
"Taking hits is part of the job." Buffy was cold. She could take the beating easily when she couldn't feel it. "They heal. The world can only end once."
That was a lie again. Twice. The world could end twice. The first time was when she walked away from me…
They all looked skeptical but not me. I had faith in her when they all didn't and I was just seconds from telling her. Round up some weapons and even if it was just us two, that would be all we needed. But then there was a knock at the front door and it opened on its own.
Dawn hugged him when he shuffled into the living room without meeting Buffy's, now downcast, eyes. She could have been one glance away from turning to me…but now…
Willow squeezed Xander's hand when he walked by and he stopped and sat down on an end table at her side. The boy's only friend. His last bastion of hope to cling to since she was the only one he was good enough for. But I had to tip my hat that he had even shown up. He had put aside his betrayal, even though he was and always would be virtually useless, and came by to try to save the world. I wondered if he would leave this town if they did. I knew Buffy was wondering the same thing.
The law. The general in this war, was what Buffy called herself. We were going into battle tonight. She was cold again when she finished the meeting, but was so fragile when she found Xander in the kitchen afterwards. Willow and Dawn excused themselves and left them alone, but I took my seat at the top of the basement steps…just like when I started this.
She thanked him for coming. For supporting her. Apologized again and again. Told him that she had found things he had forgotten…things that would make him believe that she wasn't lying…that she never had to him.
He said that he forgot some of his clothes and if she could bring them down it would be great. Buffy said that she wouldn't. He could go up and take whatever he wanted, but she wouldn't help him leave her. Xander asked if she didn't think that her kissing me didn't do that enough.
He went upstairs and she followed him. "This isn't about you and me." He told her. "This is about the end of the world, and no matter if we're together or not, it's either going to keep going or stop. It's bigger than us."
"Not for me."
I listened through the vent after her door had shut again.
"It should be." Xander told her. "If you're just fighting for me you're wasting your time…you'll loose." She asked how he could look at her and say that; and he answered with another question. How could she say that she loved him and look at him? How could she use him like that?
She told him to take the letters and I could hear her crying.
"I'm not here for you." Xander told her, seemingly ignoring her. "I'm going to see how this ends then…"
The door opened and he didn't finish the sentence. He was moving through the house alone again and before I heard the front door shut behind him I heard him tell Willow he'd be back that night.
He was. He came back that night and we all went to the vineyard under Buffy's orders. The whole way there they stayed far away from each other and nobody spoke of it. Even the nosey teenaged girls kept their rumors about the situation between themselves, but I could tell by the quick glances I was getting that everybody thought it had something to do with me.
Fine. I'd let them think that the Slayer was perfect for now. She said that, and I knew it was true, she needed complete subordination. There was no way I'd let Harris show me up on that.
We all saw girls die that night. So much blood and the screams…screams I wished I could have loved. I tried to watch her back and, whether he knew it or not, Harris did, too. The plan…Buffy's battle plan cost lives and Xander…
He was bleeding so bad. Buffy was still getting up from being punched through a wall of wine barrels and I pulled him out of there. I bet she didn't expect this to happen…if she had then she would have told him to leave her for good that afternoon.
Caleb…he called him, Xander…called Xander the one that sees everything right before…he couldn't get away. Stupidly brave for going in there – a mortal. Hopelessly in love for following her – terminally mortal. I suppose I have that problem, too.
Buffy gave me mortality in that sense. Showed me what she showed Xander, only it meant something to me.
She went to the hospital with him and Willow, and I was left to go back to her house with a group of people who would rather tear out my bloody entrails with dull pliers.
Buffy came back before Willow. She came in through the back door in the kitchen and just sat down. She was silent until Giles happened through and saw her, and I heard her sniff back tears then. The Watcher sat down too. I could hear the scrape of his chair on the linoleum floor before he asked how he was.
I already knew. I had seen what had happened…
"He…uh…his…" Buffy couldn't even say it. I wanted to tell her that it didn't matter what she wanted to believe anymore, everything was real now. Nothing could be denied.
"He lost his eye." Buffy said finally and I heard her shake off Giles' offer of comfort. She told him that Xander was still sleeping when she left, and Giles asked her why she had.
"He doesn't want me there."
As long as she believed that…
Giles seemed to, too and stood up again. He hesitated before he walked out of the kitchen and he probably thought that it wasn't his place, but he still spoke. "Whatever happened between you two, Xander can probably use all the friends he has."
I supposed Harris would be glad that Willow was there now then. Maybe Rupert would take Dawn over later, too.
I came upstairs when I was sure that he had left. He had made it blaringly clear that he didn't want me near Buffy and I didn't want to ruin my moment by arguing in front of her.
"He's right you know." I settled on saying first. "Xander needs his friends now…plus, you got him into this. It's the least you can do."
She had been looking straight ahead, but her eyes flashed to mine when I spoke. I literally saw the spark in them when she asked why I gave a shit about her and Xander now. "Isn't this what you want."
Yes. "I liked seeing you happy." That was the truth too. "Do you honestly think that you were happy while you were lying to him the way you were."
"You can't tell me what I was feeling."
"Can't I?" I faced her, smirking at her stone set features. "You were killing yourself to keep that secret…killing yourself to believe that you loved him…to not be with me again…"
Pure hatred and venom. Our tainted passions life's breath. "What do you know about love, Spike?" She stood up and approached me. "You can't do it. You can't feel…"
"I felt you." She was so close that my facial muscles were twitching.
"Not my heart." She was walking away after that and I reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her.
"Are you going to run again? Scared, are you?" Her eyes were fixed disbelievingly on my hand on her. "You're no better than me." I locked eyes with her and I saw in them that she knew that I was right. "The difference is that I *love* you. I'm not afraid, Buffy."
Her eyes softened for the briefest of moments and I wasn't expecting her to swing across with her other hand and hit me in the head. I stumbled backwards.
"I'm not afraid." She hit me again and I fell back into the wall. "I know love…"
Other Slayers heard the scuffle and I took my beating while they gathered in the doorway. I fought every urge I had to hit her back.
"I've said it." She kept punching and crying. "I've felt it and shown it and died for it and you hated it because it was never you." One last hard left cross that left a cut above my eye and my head lolled back to face her. I looked at her take in what she had done to me. How much more I had let her hurt me…
Her face turned up and she couldn't fight the tears. I watched her legs crumble beneath her and she sunk hard to the floor. "You took it from me."
"You chose me again, luv." My face hurt and my mouth tasted coppery. "What you did, I didn't ask for. You chose it." Everybody stood still. No body asked what aloud.
"You can't possibly love me." She looked up at me as if she had an epiphany.
"I do…"
"You can't. *You* don't know how to. Pain, Spike, pain isn't love and that's all you ever felt. That's all you know." The tears were still coming and I had to shut my eyes so that I couldn't see her anymore.
"No." The Slayer seemed to be trying to collect herself and she stood up. Still broken and not standing all that confidently, but still standing. "That's all I've even had to give you. I love him, Spike." Buffy was speaking quietly and evenly in front of the awed audience. "No matter what mistakes I made, I love Xander. How does that feel? Does it hurt?"
It did, so I nodded. I nodded and hated that I left myself vulnerable again.
I thought that I was the only one who could hurt Buffy the way she was now…but she had brought that pain with her already. Xander had hurt her more profoundly than I thought was possible.
"You can live with the fact that for as long as I'm alive, whether I'm with him or not, I'll *always* be deeper in love with him than even you can imagine. Think about how that won't change even if he never returns the feeling again, and *know* that it'll never be you."
"Then you'll know how I feel about you." Nobody else was here but us. She was all I could see. The only thing that I had ever felt…needed.
"Sucks doesn't it. Rips you apart? Thanks for showing me." Hatred at herself…at me, then… "I want you gone."
I stopped and looked into her eyes again. Questioning where she was dead serious. I heard a gasp then. A few stray 'I thought we need him's' and 'He's the only other fighter we have left'. All of that was true, but there was more. More than the fight.
"Is this because of…" I want her to need me. She needs to need me…
"This is for me." She interrupted me. "This is because I need…"
…me. You need me…
"…him…I have to prove myself to him and I'm starting with you."
"The First." I had her. I just need a little bit more time. "I'm your key to the First…"
She kept looking at me as if I hadn't said anything and told me to get my things together. She said that she was going to the hospital. I asked if she knew that I had saved him. Did she know that? And she paused. I had a heart. I deserved more than…
"One good deed, redeems you?" Dawn spoke up suddenly and shocked everybody, but Buffy kept her focus.
"If you care about what this is really about, then help." She said from the doorway. She said how Xander said that the world was worth the risk…meant more than she and him together, and got a tearfully wistful grin. It died quickly though and only served to gather her conviction. "But so help me, if I come back and you're still here, I will finish this."
She had squeezed my heart into nothingness in her hand and then dropped the remains on the floor. Xander's…she was still carrying his…
I was seething when I heard the front door shut behind her. I barely noticed the girls clear out from the kitchen while I stood stock still for so long that all of the bleeding from my lacerations stopped on its own.
She still had his heart. But I had his soul. I had taken that…and I could have his everything. His heart…his true heart, the living and breathing entity that he wished he could just walk away from wanted me out of her house…her life.
A sorry attempt to try to win him back over. He had lost half his bloody vision because of her fool heartedness. Did she honestly think that he wouldn't blame her for that? She maimed him in everyway imaginable. Did she think that he would want to even look at her with the eye he had left? I'd surely tell her otherwise. That nobody wanted her, and nobody ever would again.
His heart would come back and I would wait. She couldn't very well put me out. No…I'd wait…
I'd take his everything. He'd suffer more, but he'd know that it wasn't about him…its not my fault that she means something to him when she shouldn't…he'd learn that. He'd learn that life could go on…it would…
Heart and soul. I'd get mine back from that bitch. Crush her…take her…break her and…
It had never been so crystal clear. I wanted to laugh at all the sense it made, but instead I went back down to the basement. Wait for the Slayer…wait for the end.
The End

Music producer and mixer signed to Stellar Songs/Sony ATV. I produce timeless music.

Reviews of Synematik
Awesome and incredibly talented producer. Would recommend for anyone seeking a quality producer. Hopefully we'll be able to work together again in the future.
Endorse Synematik
Interview with Synematik
What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
Classically trained starting at age 9 on piano, got into jazz and composition at age 15, produced my first artists at 16, went to Berklee College Of Music at 19, graduated in 3 years with honors, and moved to New York to pursue music production. First real production exposure was in 2006 with Murder Inc, working briefly under Seven Aurelius. I then collaborated with Roc Nation producer Deputy sometime in 2008, then ventured out on my own shortly after that. Produced artists independently until I met Kat Dahlia in 2012, who got signed to Epic/Sony a few months after my contribution to her development. I got signed to Sony ATV Publishing in 2013 through Stellar Songs (other publishing label mates being Sam Smith, Charli XCX, Emeli Sande and more), and have been working and getting placements ever since. Worked with new artist Macy Maloy in 2014, who got signed to Warner Music shortly after, due to the music we created together. Worked with new artist, Polly A, who got signed to Adam Levine's 222 Records/Interscope Records Imprint as a result of the work we did together in 2015, EP and album to follow in the next few months. So as a full time career, since 2012, but overall, I start counting from 2006.
Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
For now, I would say it would be the song "Don't Stop" on the Boyz II Men "Collide" album that came out in October 2014. I've been listening to Boyz II Men for years, so when the opportunity came to work with them, I was beyond honored. I produced the song, along with my 2 talented producers signed to me, The Page Brothers, as well as played instruments, edited the final Pro Tools session and supervised the mix process. It was an amazing experience.
What are you working on at the moment?
Just finishing a few albums on Interscope and Warner Music, as well as Sony. I'll elaborate once the projects are finished!
Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
I am new to SoundBetter, so hopefully, I will in the near future.
Analog or digital and why?
Both, because they both have their place. I love the warmth of analog, but the precision and control that the digital domain provides.
What's your 'promise' to your clients?
You will never have met anyone that will work harder or care more about your success that me.
What do you like most about your job?
The challenge of waking up every day and deciding what it is I want to do. Even if it is hard work, it's the freedom to do what I love to do that is most fulfilling about my career path in music.
What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
How long will it take for me to get signed? I tell them to stop focusing on getting signed, and start focusing on making the best music they are capable of making. The right opportunities will begin to present themselves once this happens.
What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
That it is not hard work.
What questions do you ask prospective clients?
I ask them what they see for themselves, their plans and goals for their musical journey. I want to know if this is just a hobby for them, or if it is a true calling/career path. I also want to know what their expectations are, if they are realistic, ie how long they expect it to take to achieve their creative goals, how many songs they think it takes to be ready for a deal, or even to just release a quality EP or album that would move the needle for their career.
What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
Know what you are looking for, and ask as many questions as possible before you start working with someone of my caliber. If you don't know what you want, it doesn't matter how great the producer is. You have to be good at articulating your needs, so that I can best serve those needs with the right production.
If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
Laptop, Universal Audio Apollo, Neumann U87 Mic, Tubetech CL1b, Neve 1073 Mic Pre.
How would you describe your style?
Very eclectic, but also very current, never afraid to try new sounds, and challenge the status quo. A fusion of sorts, a melting pot of urban with electronic vibes, mixed with timeless and classic instrumentation, retro-futuristic. Ultimately, I look to channel the vibe of the artist in the music, so that the music truly reflects the personality of the artist, while my sound provides a structure and a foundation for the artist to fully express themselves.
Which artist would you like to work with and why?
The Weeknd. He is a creatively diverse artist, and I believe he really has a clear sense of self expression. I believe we could write hits together!
Can you share one music production tip?
Always be open to learn something new in the creative process. The minute you close yourself off to learning something new, you limit your ability to grow creatively.
What type of music do you usually work on?
Pop music. As varied as the top 40 chart is, such is the scope of my abilities.
What's your strongest skill?
Intuitiveness. Figuring out what is most needed to serve the song and the artist.
What do you bring to a song?
I bring the stage on which the artist can be the star. I bring freedom of expression to the artist so they can reach the highest level of creativity for that song or that project. I bring flexibility, making sure the artist does not feel limited to one approach, and knows that there is a fine balance between experimentation and structure in songwriting and production.
What's your typical work process?
Whatever the song calls for. I try to vary the approach to make sure the sound does not have a cookie-cutter feel to it. Every artist is different, so every approach should be tailor-made to that artist or whatever the song calls for.
Tell us about your studio setup.
I have a music production studio in the Upper West Side of New York City. I mainly work in Pro Tools, filled with plug ins and software synths. Waves Mercury, Universal Audio Plug Ins, and many more high end in-the-box plug in solutions. I use the Dangerous monitoring system, Neumann U87 mic, Universal Audio 2192 Converter as well as the Universal Audio Apollo Quad Thunderbolt system. Dynaudio BM6's for monitoring, Avantones for cross referencing mixes, other assorted outboard gear for summing.
What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
Quincy Jones, Dr. Dre, Pharrell, Henry Mancini, Paul Epworth, Prince, Dilla, John Williams, Kanye West, Timbaland...people who are great at what they do will always be a source of inspiration to me.
Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
I am a music producer and artist developer with a passion for bringing out the best in the artists I work with. I understand that a producer has to have a vision for the end product, has to listen to the artist, and has to find the most natural way to convey the personality of the artist through the music created.

Of Monsters and Mars: How Brian Zahnd is Saving Evangelical Faith (A Review)
It would be a mistake to call Brian Zahnd's new book, A Farewell to Mars, "a book about pacifism." It would be an even bigger mistake to call it "a book about Christian pacifism." Brian says as much when he clarifies that he doesn't claim the pacifist label at all. He is not a pacifist but a Christian - a follower of Jesus, including Jesus's radical and very political ideas (Ch. 1).In other words, the gospel of peace shouldn't be thought of as some extraneous add-on to Christian identity, best … [Read more...]
War! What is it good for? [Daniel Karistai]
I am a pacifist.What I mean by that is in every conflict I have I make a concerted effort to not respond with violence. What I mean by that is I try to uphold the dignity of the other especially when we are at odds. I understand violence as the most primitive form of dehumanization. When I act violently toward another I not only dehumanize my sense of self (or character) but I also dehumanize the other. This makes it possible to be violent toward the rest of creation as well. If I were to … [Read more...]

What 2014 Will Bring to Your Business
December 19, 2013
Small businesses were in growth mode in 2013 and more of the same is expected in the New Year. But from a funding perspective, small business owners are going to have to be creative to get much needed money to invest in marketing, which is predicted to be a top outlay for 2014.

Who Works Harder? American And European Entrepreneurs By The Numbers
September 17, 2013
Forget the 4-Hour workweek. American entrepreneurs work, on average, six hours longer than their contracted counterparts each week and are busier than ever. But when we stack the stateside small business community against the European, it seems Americans aren't putting in anything close to the long hours of their overseas competitors.
Got Sunblock? How About Data-Security?
July 15, 2013
Summer vacation may mean rest and relaxation for the legions of workers that take off, but for small business owners it can mean serious security risks. Most workers today use their work computers for personal use, and vice versa -- and that doesn't stop while on vacation.
Three Risks that Disrupt Architects' Best-Laid Plans
June 26, 2013
Architects pride themselves on their ability to turn vision into reality on a daily basis. Whether developing a home, a business or a large scale commercial enterprise, there isn't a project an architect works on that comes without risk. One mistake, miscommunication, or misinterpretation can cause costly delays, accidents or even injuries in some cases.
Don't Let Clients Drag You Down

Being sued for something you've done wrong is bad enough, but getting sued when you have performed your work diligently and correctly can be devastating. Yet that's what oftentimes happens when accountants fail to communicate with their clients exactly what to expect.
3 Things You Should Know About Small Business
February 1, 2013
The difficult decision of laying off workers could make small-business owners more susceptible to employment-related legal claims, according to the Hiscox blog. With the overall depressed jobs picture - despite Friday's BLS data that said 157,000 jobs were added in January - it's not surprising that employees are filing wrongful-termination suits in hopes of getting additional money.

Question about Breville ESP8XL Espresso Machine
We seem to have lost the rubber fitting for the steam arm. (1) do we need it.& (2) if so where can i find one ?.
Can anyone help?
Regards,Terry in Brisbane
Posted by taltz1 on
You really don't need it. You should have a cloth nearby to clean the wand when you're done. So if for some reason you need to move the wand (and with it's meagre rang of mobility I don't know why you would) be sure to grab it with the cloth because it gets really hot. The rubber thing is just there to avoid lawsuits I'm sure. USA USA!
