It will be interesting to see Seguin play on the big ice. So far he has 24 goals in 27 games with his Swiss team.

Also, the PBP guy is always mispronouncing Dennis Seidenberg's name. Kinda like Seedinburg.

Well despte being widely outshot the German team scored a 2-1 overtime win. Tyler Seguin scored Canada's only goal. Patrice Bergeron had a clear cut breakaway in overtime but was stopped on a deke. Jason Pominville scored the winner on a breakaway shortly after.
Pominville continues his tradition of stabbing Canada in the back! First he chooses to play for the US internationally, and now he beats Canada in the Spengler Cup?

This afternoon Fribourg downed Mannheim and will face Bergeron, Sequin and Co tomorrow in the semi-finals. Meanwhile Davos with Joe Thorton and Patrick Kane deeated Ufa to make the other semi-final against a Czech team.
I've never followed the Spengler Cup before. Can you explain how rosters work? I know Kane (and Seguin) were on Biel in Switzerland for the regular season. However, as you noted (and I checked to make sure it wasn't a Rick Nash a typo), Kane is playing for Davos for the Spengler Cup. Will Kane then return to Biel? Do players often shift to a team in the Spengler Cup solely for the tournament? Seguin, of course, is on Canada -- but that makes more sense to me than transferring between teams in the same league.
Any explanation would be much appreciated!

Thanks for updating this thread; it was a great read. I never followed the Spengler Cup before, but its seems like a cool tournament. Its interesting how Canada and Davos seem to dominate the tournament; over even the past 20 or so years.Led by Boston Bruin Patrice Bergeron's 4 points, Canada defeated Davos 7-2 to win the Spengler Cup. Canada scored in the very first minute of play and it never looked in doubt from that point of the game. One of the most interesting things for me in this tournament was witnessing the love the Swiss have for the game of hockey. It was a full loud arena for every game nomatter who was playing.

TSN interviewed the President of the tournament and he mentioned they would like to invite an AHL team next year. He said that four U.S. based teams have already expressed interest.

So we can add the Spengler Cup to Bergy's resume. WJC Gold, WC Gold, Olympic Gold, Stanley Cup and now the Spengler Cup. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's the only Quadruple Gold Member to win the Spengler Cup as well.
If only he had won the Memorial Cup, he might be compared to ,Scott Niedermayer. He is the only player to win every major North American and international championship in his career; he has won the Memorial Cup, the World Junior Championship, the IIHF World Championship, 2 Olympic Golds, 4 Stanley Cups and a World Cup. He never competed in the Spengler Cup but the World Cup win was best on best therefore more important than the Spengler. Plus the Memorial Cup is perhaps the most important club team chaampionship that a Canadian can win except for the Stanley Cup. Bergeron has never had the opportunity to win a World Cup. The last one being played in 2004 with Canada defeating Finland in the final.

This was a trial run at making a simple, straight mini dress for some beautiful printed cotton fabric which I have stashed away.
To do this one, I made a set of 'slopers' from baking paper, based largely on a McCall's pattern I bought a few years back, and I sliced up a paisley cotton maternity dressing gown which had never quite worked (the fabric was slightly too stiff).
The original pattern was a separate bodice and skirt, so I spent some time tracing out what a full length dress would look like instead. Stepping it out in miniature with sticky tape worked quite well. There are horizontal bust darts, and two vertical darts front and back, with a long zip in the centre back seam and a button at the top.
The vertical darts turned into princess seams, as I am not quite broad enough across the shoulders or bust for the McCall's fit. The neckline is rather too high, as well. When I make the real thing I will reduce the width of the top of the bodice pieces so the simple darts suffice, and will cut a greater 'scoop' for the neckline.
This fabric was slightly visually overpowering at knee length, so I sliced off the bottom six inches, cut them into two long rectangles six inches wide and stitched them on as side ruffles for a bit of added interest.
This was a fun and very easy project, building my confidence to try similar with my precious stash:)
This took about 1m x 1.5m of medium weight soft cotton, a 55cm zip, a button, some thread and probably about 8 hours to do, including the pattern creation stage.

Tang Museum to exhibit amazing retrospective of Corita Kent
SARATOGA SPRINGS — A comprehensive collection of work by one of America's most popular and important graphic artists, including iconic images from the turbulent 1960s and 70s, will be on view at the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College.
"Someday is Now: The Art of Corita Kent" debuts Jan. 19 and will run through July 28. The opening reception, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Jan. 26, is free and open to the public.
This is the first full-scale survey of more than 30 years of work by Corita Kent (1918–1986), legendary teacher at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles and civil rights, and anti-war activist. More than 200 of her vibrant serigraph prints, drawings, paintings and rarely seen photos and videos from the Corita Art Center in Los Angeles combine to make this a comprehensive history of the artist.
"This is a wonderful time to celebrate and appreciate Corita Kent, and her optimistic belief in the power of art and teaching," said Tang Dayton Director Ian Berry, who co-curated the exhibit with LA-based independent curator and art critic Michael Duncan.
"In addition to being a great printmaker, she was also a dedicated and inventive — even revolutionary — teacher," Berry said. Her classes at Immaculate Heart were an avant-garde mecca for other groundbreaking artists and innovators, from John Cage and Charles and Ray Eames, to Alfred Hitchcock and Buckminster Fuller.
Known as Sister Corita until she re-entered the secular world in 1968, Kent created some of the best pop art of her era, with rule-breaking mash-ups of text from scripture, philosophers and poets, folk and rock lyrics, advertising slogans and street signs — ingenious amalgams of faith and politics, popular culture and fine art, pain and hope.
In 1947, Kent began teaching art at Immaculate Heart College, where she helped foster a creative and collaborative arts community and developed a style of graphically innovative printmaking. Her hallmark mixture of bold, bright imagery and provocative texts proclaimed an upbeat theology in prints that re-purposed well-known advertising icons.
As theologian and friend Harvey Cox noted, "She could pass her hands over the commonest of the everyday, the superficial, the oh-so-ordinary, and make it a vehicle of the luminous, the only, and the hope filled."
Kent's works continue to resonate with the public and inspire artists working today. One work, "that they may have life" (1964), annotates the familiar Wonder Bread design with the thought that "there are so many hungry people that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread." In "for Eleanor" (1964), with "the big G stands for goodness," the viewer recognizes the General Mills logo and also recognizes that the big G stands for God.
An active spirit permeated Kent's life, with printmaking a populist medium for communication with the world around her. In posters and murals, she posed philosophical questions about racism, poverty, war, and conflicts between radical and conservative positions inside the Catholic Church. Works such as "manflowers" (1969) touched directly on the brutalities of the war in Vietnam. In the print, Kent juxtaposed the texts "man power!" and "Where have all the flowers gone?" against an image of two injured young soldiers and bright green and purple blocks of color. She sought to address the stark realities of the world with messages of hope and joy, explaining: "It is a huge danger to pretend awful things do not happen. But you need enough hope to keep on going. I am trying to make hope. And you have to grab it where you can." Continued...
Her designs were widely disseminated through billboards, book jackets, illustrations, and posters, and the hugely popular 1985 LOVE postage stamp.
Printmaking, she explained, "enables me to produce a quantity of original art for those who cannot afford to purchase high-priced art…the distribution of these prints to everyday places of work pleases me, and I hope they will give people a lift."
While several exhibitions have focused on Kent's well-known 1960s serigraphs, "Someday is Now" is the first major museum show to survey her entire career, including early narrative works as well as watercolors made later in life when she was living in Boston.
A comprehensive catalogue is being developed in conjunction with the exhibit, featuring new scholarship, interviews with former students and collaborators, and responses from a wide variety of artists and designers..

Yep…. broke my tea buying ban for this and a couple other new ones from DT yesterday (although they were sold out of Pom Tango…. noooooo!)
I have been dying to try this one ever since it was released. Coconutty? Thai? YES!
And it doesn't disappoint! I will admit that I think I overleafed, and am getting some bitterness as a result, but oh the flavours in here are divine! This has gotta be amazing iced, and possibly with some milk and sweetener. I can taste delicious lemongrass (it works really well here), enough coconut, and kind of a yogurt creaminess. This is really good, minus the overleafing bitterness. I hate that I'm kind of falling in love with this! I think I have enough for another 2 cups or so, so I should be able to make up my mind before then.
The only downside? This is supposedly a white tea blend… I didn't check the price when I bought my sample, but it's therefore probably way overpriced. But if I do love it, I will still buy it… sigh…!
ETA: Ginger! There we go! I knew there was something else in there but couldn't come up with it myself. That explains the pepperiness and the fruitiness. Yum.
ETA again: Oops, neglected the steeping time on the second cup, however it's pretty tasty. Not as good though; much more lemon (lemongrass?) than anything else. My roommate and I were contemplating making Coco Lemon Thai-infused meringues if we could figure out how to… just sounds like a yummy combo (probably because this tea is reminiscent of lemon meringue pie/coconut cream pie, as someone mentioned).

This is the blog of the evolutionary games group that launched as an extension of the earlier evolutionary game theory reading group at McGill University. It is organized by Artem Kaznatcheev and collaborates closely with Thomas R. Shultz's Laboratory for Natural and Simulated Cognition. We are primarily interested in the evolution of ethnocentrism, the interplay of evolution and cognition, and the effects of network topology on evolutionary simulations. Our reading concentrates on papers that apply nice analytic or computational models to questions in EGT. If you are interested in contributing to this project then feel free to email me!

Cooperation is a puzzle because it is not obvious why cooperation, which is good for the group, is so common, despite the fact that defection is often best for the individual.

Like the agents they study, evolutionary economics is highly heterogeneous. Models are ad-hoc and serve as heuristic guides to specific problems. This is similar to theoretical biology, where evolutionary models are independent of each other. Even the general theory of inclusive fitness does not provide a non-controversial unifying framework. Although there is no single framework, evolutionary economists are united by four main assumptions about the world:... Read more »

Ethnocentrism (or contingent altruism) can be viewed as one of many mechanisms for enabling cooperation.

Judge David Bauman, the Superior Court judge who was nominated today for the state Supreme Court,was the judge who issued an injunction this past summer barring the state from seizing $13 million in unspent affordable housing funds from the township of Marlboro.
In granting ther injunction, Bauman ruled that the state had not adopted sufficient guidelines for townships to spend the money by the July 2012 deadline.
The administration had hoped to take some $160 million in unspent affordable housing funds as the result of a 2008 law that created the deadline to commit the funds.
Towns such as Marlboro fought the effort, citing the lack of guidelines.

We are back with Artist interviews and looking for new creative artist out there! {Let us know if you know someone who'd be interested in being interviewed} This month we have an interview with the talented & passionate painter Andreea Berindei. The first time I saw her was at a christian youth conference and she was up on stage painting as the worship was playing. It was beautiful to see so many people using their talents to worship God and very impressive to see how fast she was able to finish the gorgeous painting. I contacted her right away and am happy she agreed to have this interview. I love all her paintings and the story behind the work and I'm sure you will too!
Interview with Andreea Berindei
When & Where were you born
October 2, 1985 // Petrosani,România
Tell us a little about yourself
I love God more than I love anything.
I love nature, books and music.
Introvert, intrigued by unconventional beauty.
Perfectionist, with that comes plenty of disappointments.
I couldn't have said it better than John Newton-
"I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. I am not what I hope to be. But still, I am not what I used to be. And by the grace of God, I am what I am."
Describe yourself in 5 words
Realist. Compassionate. Gifted. Observer. Deep.
What's your favorite color to work with
I love colors, so it's hard to pick just one. Although I really like white, which is not even a color but a tone/value. White is the reflection of all the colors, it has all the colors of visible spectrum.
What or who is your biggest inspiration
God and His art. He's my favorite artist.
When did you first discover your creative talent
When I was really young, around 7 years old.
Could you tell us about some of your work
I don't know what to say about my work. Just that when I paint at church during worship I feel very peaceful. Sometimes I feel like I have no clue about what I'll paint, but when the music starts the inspiration comes pouring.
What hobbies do you have other than art
In Romania I took seamstress classes. So I still design and alter, my own clothes.
I am very creative and picky with everything I own.
What do you plan to do in your future
I don't have a plan.
I gave God my talent, my time, my hands, my eyes, my mind. Let His will be done!
Do you have any advice for beginning artists
The heart of becoming a good artist is to find your own style and technique. Don't lean your ear too much to the criticism. But do take the good advice, the different perspective, the flaws and strength in your art and work on it. The hard work will pay off.
Share with us something funny that has happened to you recently
I was walking one afternoon, when something wet hit my head. When I put my hand to touch it.. It was what else, but bird poop! Someone who's superstitious told me that means luck. Of course I am not superstitious and don't believe in luck, but I do believe in blessings. So I truly felt blessed after I washed my hair, and thanked God for the funny way they come my way.
If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be & why
Mountains, trees,clean air, sunshine= my idea of the perfect place.
I'm an incurable romantic, a lover of nature!

Lake Mary offensive lineman Zac Sawin verbally committed to Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y., last week, but still intends on taking one more college visit.
"I'm taking a visit up to Lehigh on the 28th just to see what else is up there," Sawin told the Sentinel via text message. "Colgate is my number 1 choice but I don't want to limit myself to the other schools that are out there."
Although Sawin (6-3, 260) plans on weighing his options, he is extremely high on Colgate and that is unlikely to change.
"Well it's a great education," he said. "It opens so many doors for me, for my future. It's a very high level of football and when I went up there all the players were very welcoming and seemed like a cohesive family."
Sawin also cited good facilities as a reason for choosing the Raiders, along with the brisker temperature New York offers.
"I'm tired of this Florida weather to be honest with you," Sawin said.
Sawin, who was named third team Class 8A All-State by the Associated Press, helped lead Lake Mary to an 8-3 record and helped pave the way for Wofford running back commit Treyous Jarrells to gain 1,059 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground this past season.
He is one of three local players to commit to Colgate for the 2012 graduating class, joining K/P Duncan Brennan and fellow offensive lineman Robbie Reiche of Lake Brantley.

Calypto announces extensions to PowerPro software tool
Doug Aitelli, CEO of Calypto, discusses the company's recent new-product announcements at the 2011 Design Automation Conference.
Cadence methodology architect Sharon Rosenberg talks about design trends at DAC 2011.
20nm development will be just as challenging as the 28nm node, but double-patterning helps keep Moore's Law moving, says Suk Lee, marketing director at TSMC
Samsung Foundry VP Ana Hunter announces her company has just qualified 28nm low power process and introduced a new flavor of 28nm that's both low power and higher performance.
System realization methodologies are evolving quickly as hardware and software become increasingly entangled in the design process, according to Michal Siwinski,group product marketing director with Cadence.
Cadence blogger Joe Hupcey on how engineers are now embracing (and always have) social media and how social networking is moving inside EDA tools.

1917 1917–1918 OPERA TALKS AND LECTURE-RECITALS Figure By Henriette Weber PIANIST AND LECTURER Strikingly Successful Informal Entertaining Educational Authoritative Address: Miss H. Weber Tel. Superior 5790 8 East Elm St., Chicago MISS WEBER IS DIRECTOR OF The Sunday Evening Opera Concerts AT THE ART INSTITUTE, CHICAGO These concerts, uniquely educational in character, are becoming known throughout the United States by reason of their extreme popularity. THE INDIVIDUAL Opera Talks as given by Miss Weber are vivid, graphic and dramatic descriptions of the operas, and a delightful and novel entertainment. Almost a new art-form. says one critic. The extensive repertoire includes not only the standard works, but all the important novelties. Informal Entertaining Characteristic Comments Plays with remarkably perfect execution. New York Press Has that coveted gift from the gods — temperament. Musical Courier, N. Y. Her interpretations of the operas mark another red letter in Chicago's musical history. Chicago Evening Post Miss Weber's opera talk educates while entertaining. The musical illustrations are skillfully treated. Chicago American (Herman DeVries) A thorough artist. Morristown, N.J., Daily Record Has power, subtlety and fine technic. Hamilton (Canada) Herald Has a charming personality, talks well and plays beautifully. Portsmouth (O.) Daily Times Keeps her ideas rapidly developing before her audience. Greencastle (Ind.) Banner An easy and forceful speaker. Columbus (O) Ohio State Journal (Lecture-Recital, Music in America) The program was devoted exclusively to the music of America's greatest composers, was well balanced, and of a merit which should tend to enhance the growing taste for the composition of American musicians. Miss Weber's playing disclosed a tone of clear musical quality, an intonation very accurate, … a brilliant and highly developed technical equipment, and a sensitive feeling of tonal coloring. There is much to admire in her playing; a genuinely musical feeling, an intense vitality, and a youthful freshness. Gazette-Republican, Lima, O. A woman splendidly equipped for her work. … Her ability as a pianist made the opera talk intensely interesting. … The attention of the audience was closely held until the finale. Daily Independent Times, Streator, Ills. Miss Weber's personality and manner invited attention immediately and held it throughout the entire talk. She then gave the story of Aida, playing with much dramatic force the various themes for the solos, choruses and dances, and describing the action and scenery so vividly that her audience caught the thrill of the actual play in all its oriental splendor and setting. Her ability in making one piano and one pair of hands give the effects of soloist and orchestra as well as full chorus and orchestra was a delight to the listeners. Daily Free Press, Streator, Ills. (Comment on a Series of Wagner Lectures) Miss Weber is anything but dry — and, on the contrary, sparkles with animation and glows with enthusiasm while, instead of giving a lengthy discourse on her ponderous subjects she has — at great pains, eliminated everything except the vital points of the story and these she tells so convincingly and at the same time so ornaments with piano illustrations of the Wagner music that her work glows with beauty and is filled to repletion with authority. Music News, Chicago Educational Authoritative Subjects for Lecture-Recitals (With Piano Illustrations) Modern Tendencies in Music SIX LECTURES 1. Precursors of Modernism in Music. 2. The Music of Today in France. 3. The Music of Today in Germany. 4. The Music of Today in Italy and Russia. 5. Music in America. 6. The New Opera.

Trowbridge Plaza
930 Trowbridge
East Lansing, MI 48823
Phone (517) 351-3800
Fax (517) 336-0718
Hobies is an "honest to goodness" family owned and managed East Lansing tradition. It was established by Ernie St. Pierre fifty years ago in Trowbridge Plaza at the corner of Harrison and Trowbridge roads in East Lansing and it remains in that same location today.
Hobies has been providing homemade delicious soups, sandwiches, wraps and salads to nearly three generations of MSU students, faculty and staff and it has not changed much since it first opened its doors in 1962. In addition to baking bread fresh every morning, we cut our meats and cheeses fresh everyday and order fresh produce from a Michigan farm weekly! Hobies is unique and unpretentious. It is not a trendy chain.
You will immediately feel at home when you walk on the brick floors and through the stained glassed entry way. The beautiful stained glass in the walk way along and brick flooring were taken from one of the most significant structures in Lansing's history. On February 25th, 1971 the beautiful and imposing, Plymouth Congregational Church, which was the most beautiful part of the Lansing downtown skyline was destroyed by a horrific fire. (You can read more about the fire in the article posted in the restaurant). In homage, the stained glass and remnants of the brick were brought into the restaurant. More recently, some of the tables and a wall are made from the old MSU Breslin Center basketball floor. The ceiling bears quaint graffiti from years of patronage.
Hobies also has a variety of beer and wine. You can enjoy a glass or mug with nearly any Spartan, Red Wings, Lions or Tigers game! The amazing food, including those same famous soups, warm atmosphere and friendly staff will make Hobies a tradition for you.

Annah's life has been hard. Since leaving her twin sister Abigail in the Forest of Hands and Teeth when they were very young, Annah has survived the Horde overtaking the Dark City, a bad run-in with a pit of barbed wire, and the loss of her only companion Elias to the Recruiters. She has spent her life waiting for Elias to return, but all that changes when she meets Catcher, who is just as broken as she is. As the two fight to reunite with Elias and Abigail (Gabry), she must decide whether it is better to live in the broken world or to escape via death.
The third and final novel in Carrie Ryan's solid, suspenseful zombie series is full of action and relentless pacing and will leave most fans very satisfied. Where Ryan's second novel in the series faltered somewhat, this one redeems itself, because instead of focusing too much on a love triangle, The Dark and Hollow Places focuses on Annah and her desire to stay alive and be free. With the character of Annah, Ryan gets back to one of her strengths so exemplified in the first book, The Forest of Hands and Teeth: a tough girl who is strong-willed, smart, and complex.
Ryan excels at creating characters whose pain is palpable. Both Catcher and Annah are people who are broken in some way because of what life has given them, and the fact that they are able to find solace in each other's company is so clear and so well-written that I could almost feel it in the room with me. Annah is a girl who has suffered a great deal of loss and agony in her life, but she doesn't let it define her, and she doesn't give up, even when it seems there's no chance for survival.
It is also worth noting that Ryan has a talent for creating a suspenseful atmosphere. Writing long sequences of action that are not tedious is difficult even in a skilled writer's hands, and Ryan manages to create and sustain suspense throughout the book. Although the final third is undoubtedly more exciting than the beginning of the book, Ryan's ability to build tension is commendable. I literally couldn't put the book down after the halfway mark simply because I needed to find out what would happen next.
The juxtaposition between horror and violence with moments of love and happiness is done particularly well. Although this is perhaps the darkest book in the series (in more ways than one), it is also the one with the most hope and the most light. Some of the moments in this book are so beautiful that it almost hurts to think about them. That's powerful writing, folks.
Highly, highly recommended to fans of Ryan's previous works, as well as to fans of zombie stories, dystopian tales, and readers in general.
The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan, Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2011. Library copy.

Furnace Installation
Your furnace is key to your family's comfort and wellbeing during the cold winter months. When those chilly winds blow, you want to be confident that your furnace will keep your whole house comfortable, without causing your energy costs to skyrocket. The best way to make sure of that is to have a reliable, experienced contractor help you select the right furnace for your needs and then properly install it in your home.
As one of the top providers of furnace installation services in the Greater Wilmington and Dover, DE area, Boulden's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning has professional installers standing by for all of your new home furnace needs. From answering technical questions, to helping you select the proper system for your home, to installing your new furnace, we offer a wide range of services to keep you comfortable year-round.
Furnace Capacity
One of the biggest factors to consider when choosing a new furnace is what heating capacity your home requires. Determining the proper capacity is an integral step in the installation process in order for you to end up with a furnace that fully meets your needs without overdoing it. A furnace with too little capacity is obviously a problem, as it won't have the power to produce the warmth you need, whereas a furnace with too great a capacity will overheat your home and inflate your costs.
Perhaps the most obvious factor influencing the needs of your home is square footage. A bigger home requires a more powerful furnace than a smaller one. There are other things to consider, however. Local climate plays a role, for example. In warmer climates, some homes can get away with a furnace that puts out only 25 BTUs per square foot of space, but in colder climates homes often need as much as 45 BTUs per square foot.
Furnace Efficiency Ratings
You also need to consider the efficiency of the furnace you are choosing. Furnaces efficiency ratings are determined by the amount of energy they consume that is actually converted to heat output. This is the annual fuel utilization efficiency rating, or AFUE. The lowest AFUE rating allowed is 80%, which means that 80% of the fuel burned by those furnaces is converted into heat, whereas the other 20% is lost in the combustion process. This is decent efficiency, far better than furnaces built just a few decades ago, and may be all the efficiency you need. The most efficient furnaces burn gas and carry an AFUE rating of up to 98%.
Differing levels of efficiency mean that heating capacity is not an absolute figure. A furnace with a high capacity but a lower AFUE rating may actually generate less heat than a more efficient model with less capacity. Keep in mind that a more efficient furnace will cost more up front to purchase, but may save money in the long run by burning less fuel. Our experts will explain the details of each system to help you better understand your options before settling on a model.
If you're replacing an old furnace, our technician will first consider the capacity and AFUE rating of your existing system and whether it met your needs. These are usually listed on the furnace itself, and can be a guide for choosing your next system. Either way, the professionals at Boulden can help you select the right furnace model for your needs and budget.
Professional Furnace Installation
After working with you to select the right system, our Wilmington & Dover metropolitan area furnace installers will have your new heating system in place in no time. Call us today to learn more about your options and our professional furnace services.

Warren, nice post! Writing that brief bio is always a problem for me. I try for it and go over, then cut this book or this award or combine these two until I get down to the word limit. I hate it--and I don't even like long bios of myself.

Linda, It is hard. And the more you publish, the harder it gets.

Excellent! I'm printing it out so I can write a good short bio. Many thanks for the good example!

Good and timely blog, Warren. Thanks for reminding me it's something I should do today. Could I copy yours changing the name and publications. Do you think anyone would find out I'm not published as widely as you are?

Please feel free to use mine as a template. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel.
As for publications, I won't say anything if you don't. How would anyone know? - June 29, 2012 at 11:49 AM

About Jody Wisternoff.
He may no longer be the "precocious" teen who cracked the music industry, but Jody Wisternoff is still not afraid to push the boundaries or test his own limits. His fearless attitude has seen him go from a 16-year-old playing his first club gig to controlling the crowd at the Universe rave, preaching his musical sermon to an adoring congregation of 5,000 people. "[That] was incredible and pretty much the catalyst for me dropping out of college," Jody says of his first taste of rocking a stadium show.
Although now putting the finishing touches to his long awaited debut solo album, it was back in 1986 that Wisternoff first put his stamp on the music world aged just 13 when he reached the finals of the DMC World DJ Championship and then 2 years later as one-half of Tru Funk, a hip hop/dance outfit with his younger brother Sam, who is now performing under the name SJ Esau.
