Though I have been in a self-imposed exile from blogging, I have not been completely absent from the web, with a report on Worldcon appearing in The Internet Review of SF and a review of The Third Alternative at SF Site.
I haven't done too much reading other than for reviews commissioned by various places, the results of which you will find out later. I did manage to see all 6 hours of the HBO miniseries of Angels in America, about which I had quite mixed feelings. I thought many of the performances were excellent, particularly Al Pacino's and Mary Louise Parker's, but Tony Kushner's adaptation of his play was far too faithful to the original and Mike Nichols's direction was uninspired. I'd had great hopes, because eight or nine years ago, when I was at school in New York, I heard Kushner say that he was working with Robert Altman to make a film of the two plays, and that they would be very different from the stage versions because film is such a different medium. Altman didn't last long, but I'd hoped Kushner's willingness to change the script to fit the medium had. Alas, aside from some cuts and rearrangements, it's basically a film of the play -- a very theatrical play, one that works pretty well in a theatre, but which is plodding and awkward on film.
I liked the other film I saw recently, Together, much more. Before watching it, I knew nothing about the movie and so had no expectations for it. It's heartwarming, and I don't usually like heartwarming films, but this one is so unpretentious and witty that I couldn't help being charmed. It's about a Swedish commune in 1975, and I even liked the use of an ABBA song, though I generally consider that band's popularity to be a sign that humanity is doomed.
I read about half of My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk, a book I found interesting and impressive, but which I didn't feel any need to finish, because once I'd gotten halfway through I felt like I knew what Pamuk was up to, and since the narrative was not one that gripped me, knowing what he was up to was enough. It's not a bad book, just not one I felt compelled to read to the end.
A book I have been devouring, though, is Jay's Journal of Anomalies, which is both beautifully designed and fascinating. The illustrations are worth the price of admittance alone, but the stories Ricky Jay tells are even better. His style is light and witty while also erudite. If I were given the opportunity to hang out with any one living person, he would definitely be toward the top of the list.
I've also been reading Anton Chekhov: A Life in Letters, a new translation of Chekhov's letters by Rosamund Bartlett and Anthony Phillips that is now the best English version of the letters available. (Its only rival is the Karlinsky and Heim edition.) It was Chekhov's letters that made me fall in love with everything else he wrote, and this is the only edition that is completely unexpurgated (though not complete, as Chekhov wrote thousands of letters).
I discovered a couple of items that will soon be available that I'm looking forward to tremendously: a new album from Tom Waits and Paris, Texas on DVD. The latter is particularly welcome, as my videotape of the film is dying. The DVD is remarkably inexpensive, which worries me a little bit -- I just hope it's letterboxed and not pan-and-scan, because the movie is beautifully photographed. And beautifully acted. And beautifully written.
Blogging will continue to be somewhat lighter than it was this summer, but I expect I'll be able to get at least a few things posted every week. Taking a cue from Jeff VanderMeer's reading of John Crowley and Dan Green's of John Updike, I'm going to start a series of informal posts about Eileen Gunn's collected short stories, Stable Strategies and Others. I'll read the stories as I have time and inclination, and will chronicle that reading here. If this seems productive and not boring, I'll do the same with a few other books (I'd very much like to do, for instance, Delany's Aye and Gomorrah), since a blog seems like a good medium for such an endeavor.

may not look like scams, but they all lead to the same
thing. The scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money

key points for pointing out a scammer:
1. Doesn't care much about the pet, just the transaction.
2. Says they will use their own shipper.
3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas (Nigeria, Israel, South Africa)
4. Pays you more then the pet is worth, then asks for the difference in money back.

Operating Systems
Windows 8 has been a commercial and critical flop. The improvements made in 8.1 brought it more in line with the expectations of long-time Windows users. Overall though, Microsoft did a poor job of transitioning its customers away from an interface that had gone unchanged for 17 years—and a terrible job communicating why they should want to. With the Windows 10 Technical Preview, it looks like Microsoft will be addressing those problems and bringing to the table new functionality that users will actually welcome.
Nobody I've met likes Windows 8 or 8.1. One of my most frequently requested services at the Headquarters branch is to make customers' Windows 8 laptops act like Windows 7. Are you in the market for a new PC but want to avoid Windows 8? It's all but impossible to find Windows 7 PCs in stores these days, but you've got lots of choices if you shop online.
First let's start with buying directly from the PC manufacturers. The best three I could find that still sell Windows 7 machines from their own sites are Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Why might you wish to buy directly from the manufacturer?
Come April 8th, Windows XP will no longer be supported or updated by Microsoft. Windows is dead—long live Windows! Seriously though, what are so many of us going to do? We avoided Windows Vista because, well, it stank, and Windows 7 just seemed unnecessary when XP was still officially supported and time-tested. Now at the end of its life, XP leaves us with a hole in our hearts as we consider where to go next.
I can't believe I haven't written about this sooner. Though consumers are buying tablet computers in greater numbers than classic computers, that hasn't removed the necessity for a laptop or desktop computer. Sooner or later these need to be replaced and that will now mean buying a PC that ispreloaded with Windows 8. And I can say without hesitation, folks despise Windows 8. I might be able to help with that.
From 2000-2003 I was a creative writing major at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a university most well-known for its schools of engineering and computer science. Guess I could have thought that decision through a little better, but I'm glad I didn't. I even lived in a private dorm adjacent to the engineering campus, Hendrick House, surrounded by some of the strangest, most intelligent and most wonderful people I've ever known, almost all of them engineers. When I arrived at UIUC, I knew the bare bones of computering—how to type, how to use a Web browser, how to use a word processor, and play a few games, but not much else. However, over the course of three years living with these technological elite, I picked up more than a few tricks not only about using computers, but about how to fearlessly teach myself more. And now I pass that on to you.
Attaining fearlessness in the face of learning more about the computer lies in the art of reversibility. The most common fear my students express is that they will press the wrong keys or click the wrong thingies and destroy their computers. I try to assure them this is highly unlikely, but that discomfort still remains. Certainly I felt that way 10 years ago. I discovered over time that there are particular steps you need to take to ensure that, if the worst happens and your computer stops working, you can back out of your mistake or recover your computer. With the following steps accomplished, you'll find that you feel much less hesitant about stepping outside your comfort zone.
2012 saw the debut of the latest version of Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 8. Windows 8 debuted in an unusually tense atmosphere for a Windows device, as "Wintel" (Windows PCs powered by Intel processors) faced unprecedented threats from tablets and smartphones in the marketplace. Windows 8 PCs faced sales declines over the 2012 holiday period, and the changes in the interface of Windows 8 from Windows 7 have been a major cause of concern for many consumers. Questions such as, "How can I find my old files if I upgrade to Windows 8?" and "Will Steam run in Windows 8?" are extremely common. Another common topic for questions is the difference between Windows 8—the operating system for conventional Windows desktop and laptop PCs, and Windows RT—the operating system for Windows tablets. In this article, let's take a look at how compatibility in Windows 8 works and what the differences between Windows 8 and Windows RT mean.
Windows 7, the anticipated successor to the oft-maligned Windows Vista operating system from Microsoft, has arrived. Now available in stores on DVD-ROM, on the web for download (http://store.microsoft.com/win7netbooks), and on newly-purchased PCs, Microsoft has a lot riding on the acceptance of their new OS.

ABERDEEN manager Craig Brown has urged his players to take their cup form to Fir Park and end their four-year wait for a Clydesdale Bank Premier League win over Motherwell.
The Dons have not taken three points off Motherwell for 11 games, since before Mark McGhee and then Brown left the Motherwell hotseat for Pittodrie.
But they have knocked Motherwell out of the William Hill Scottish Cup at Fir Park twice this year, the most recent occasion being a 2-1 replay win earlier this month.
However, their quarter-final victory by the same scoreline in March was followed six days later by an SPL loss in Lanarkshire when Motherwell left-back Stevie Hammell struck the only goal with a superb 30-yard strike.
Brown is therefore not sure that their recent cup exploits will have much bearing on Boxing Day.
The former Scotland boss said: "Remember last year we beat them in the cup and then we lost 1-0 to a rather fortunate long-range shot from Stevie Hammell in the league.
"We would like to do the double over Motherwell, obviously. It would give us a great platform for the remaining league fixtures if we managed to pull back the three-point gap.
"Obviously we don't want a repeat of the last experience, although in the league you can recover and in the cup you can't, so we would rather win in the cup.
"But we are getting a bit selfish now and would like to win both."

Pork and Charred Brussels Sprouts with Chile Lime Sauce
Chef Gregory Gourdet prepares modern Asian cuisine at Portland's Departure Restaurant + Lounge. But at home, the Bikram yoga disciple and marathoner adheres strictly to the Paleo diet, which is rooted in whole foods and nutritionally dense ingredients. Here's how the chef-athlete gives a healthy, classic meat-and-vegetable combo an unexpected Southeast Asian flavor twist.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 450°. Separate brussels sprout leaves; thinly slice hearts. Set aside.
Season pork with 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Brown in 1 tbsp. oil in a large frying pan over high heat, turning, 8 to 10 minutes.
Toss sweet potatoes in a roasting pan with onion, 2 tbsp. oil, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Add pork. Roast 15 to 20 minutes for medium-rare, stirring vegetables once.
Meanwhile, purée honey, lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, and half the chile in a blender. Stir in remaining chile; set sauce aside.
Heat 1 tbsp. oil in the frying pan over high heat and lightly char half the brussels sprouts, stirring, 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat for remaining brussels sprouts. Toss with 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/4 cup sauce.
Slice pork, toss sweet potatoes with remaining cilantro, and set on a platter with brussels sprouts. Drizzle more sauce to taste over everything (you may have some left over).

By now, I have covered some three quarters of Clarke's novels, & some 40% of his short stories here. I haven't read another author in may be 3 months now. It gets boring after a while. So, I am taking a sabbatical.
I will, hopefully, return in a few months to finish this unfinished project. Even though it has served its original purpose - giving me an idea of what blogging is about.
In the meantime, I will be posting on stories by other sf authors to "Variety SF".
See you later. And thanks for the visit.

Our laboratory is part of the Microbial Sciences Institute at the Yale West Campus. Our group studies the temporal and spatial mechanisms involved in bacterial physiology, with emphasis on chromosome dynamics, cell division, cell cycle regulation, cell morphogenesis and RNA biology. Our primary model organisms are Caulobacter crescentus, Escherichia coli and the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi.
Cellular life cannot be sustained and propagated without temporal and spatial organization. Even bacteria, once mistakenly perceived as tiny jumbles of molecules, rely on temporal and spatial organization for many essential processes. In recent years, we have come to realize that bacteria are polarized, possess a cytoskeleton, order their chromosomes in space, localize proteins, and depend critically on this surprisingly exquisite cellular organization. Despite the recent surge of information about bacterial cell biology, our knowledge is still at an early stage and the most fundamental questions remain to be solved, providing unique opportunities to make new and exciting discoveries in this emerging discipline.
Our laboratory addresses the molecular mechanisms involved in the internal organization of bacteria at several levels, from its origin, maintenance and replication in time and space to its function in cellular physiology and morphogenesis. We used two primary model systems: E. coli and C. crescentus, each having distinct advantages. On one hand, there is a wealth of knowledge on E. coli and studies are facilitated by the availability of large collections of strains, tools and databases. On the other hand, the highly polarized dimorphic C. crescentus provides a unique set of strengths for addressing questions pertinent to positional and temporal information. Cellular asymmetry is morphologically apparent in C. crescentus by the presence of polar appendages (e.g., stalk, pili and flagellum), and by the obligatory asymmetric division that yields daughter cells of different size, fate and morphology. Populations of C. crescentus cells can be easily synchronized with respect to the cell cycle, providing a means to follow events during the cell cycle. This bacterium also displays a sophisticated morphology and it possesses all three major types of cytoskeletal elements, MreB (actin homolog), FtsZ (tubulin homolog) and crescentin (intermediate filament-like protein).
For our studies, we use an arsenal of genetic, biochemical, bioinformatic and cell imaging tools. A large part of our current strategy is to improve the inventory of components involved in cellular organization, characterize the function and interplay of known components, evolve our work into quantitative studies and computational modeling, and develop methodology to generate new hypotheses and avenues of research.

Hi Ms Witten,
I am part of a group of graduate students conducting research into improving the penetrance of home peritoneal dialysis (PD) in low income areas. We have a new catheter technology that would contribute to the realisation of this goal and ultimately improve quality of life for patients suffering of chronic kidney disease.
We have a couple questions we are looking to have answered. I understand that you may not have the info required to answer all of them, but if you have any insights into even one of them, it would be greatly appreciated!
1) What percentage of patients requiring dialysis would you estimate do not have access to it?2) What are the most common barriers to access to dialysis in low income or remote areas, in your opinion?3) In your experience, are patients receptive to home PD or do they prefer in-clinic dialysis? How receptive do you think nurses/patients would be to a new technique for PD catheter placement?
We're also looking to create a few different "patient personas", representing average dialysis patient in low-income communities and highlighting key elements of their experience1) Based on your experience, could you provide some examples of the average experience of low-income patients beginning dialysis?2) What do you think would be the best way to get in contact with nurses or patients who might be willing to talk to us about their experiences?
Thank you.
1) There are no data except death statistics and those deaths may not be because patients didn't have access to dialysis, but it may be that their primary care doctors didn't recommend it or the patient may have chosen not to do dialysis.
2) Barriers- Financial: This may be a perception not a real barrier since most people with ESRD qualify for Medicare and those with low enough income and assets qualify for Medicaid. The American Kidney Fund assists with health insurance premiums for patients with donations from dialysis providers and others.- What others have told them: People with CKD facing kidney failure may know someone who had a negative experience with dialysis and they assume that would be their experience, leading them to choose not to dialyze.
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]- Lack of CKD education: Nephrologists do not refer all CKD patients to available patient education programs. They may be making assumptions about which patients are interested in learning.- Negative bias: Many physicians, including nephrologists have low perceptions of their patients' abilities to comply with their prescription and some actually have a bias against PD so they do not encourage patients to consider PD or home HD - Reimbursement: Nephrologists' reimbursement is based on the number of visits/month and they or nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists or physician assistants in their practice can see all patients doing in-center HD in a limited amount of time to get the maximum reimbursement, and while home patients are typically seen in clinic monthly, which can take several hours for the same Medicare payment as seeing an in-center patient 3x/month.
[/SIZE][/FONT] 3a) In your experience, are patients receptive to home PD or do they prefer in-clinic dialysis? - There are patients who are overwhelmed initially and have little self-confidence about their ability to do for themselves and in-center dialysis actually fosters dependency.- Patients who receive CKD education or who visit websites/message boards/Facebook pages (like Home Dialysis Central, I Hate Dialysis, Home Dialyzors United, etc.) and take the time to learn about treatment options are much more receptive to PD than those who don't do any of these things. In 2011 less than 2% of CKD patients had Medicare claims for kidney disease education. Other CKD patients are educated through programs offered by providers and others, including Missouri Kidney Program that I coordinate classes for in Kansas City.
3b) How receptive do you think nurses/patients would be to a new technique for PD catheter placement?- I don't know how much nurses or patients know about PD catheter placement. I don't know if patients fail to choose PD because of how a PD catheter is placed. That said, if the new surgical technique heals faster with less discomfort and has a lower risk of surgery-related infections, education about that might increase nephrologists' willingness to consider patients for patient and more of those patients who are educated about PD to choose PD.
Many patients with limited income do not have a car and come to dialysis using transportation services. If they are single and don't live close to family, they may not have the support that can help patients do well on dialysis. If they have limited education and no job, they live under a great deal of stress not knowing how they can pay their bills. They may not have a grocery near where they live to be able to buy the food they're supposed to eat. They may not ask questions because they don't know what to ask, they're embarrassed to ask, or because staff always seem to busy to take the time to answer their questions. They may feel hopeless and may be depressed and need lots of help with financial concerns, However, the dialysis facility social worker, who could help them, often has too large a caseload and too many clinics to cover to devote the attention to them that they need.
You may want to contact the American Nephrology Nurses' Association (https://www.annanurse.org/) for nurses and the American Association of Kidney Patients (https://aakp.org/) or Dialysis Patient Citizens (https://aakp.org/) and ask if they would be willing to announce your desire to talk with nurses and patients.
Good luck!

A team of investigators with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on Wednesday combed the three boats involved in the deadly Fourth of July accident on Biscayne Bay, photographing and documenting physical evidence that could help piece together how four people died and several others were critically injured following a holiday fireworks display. The boats are impounded at the agency's North Miami office.
Meanwhile, the Miami-Dade County medical examiner's office confirmed autopsies have been completed on three of the victims: 23-year-old Andrew Garcia who was piloting the 32-foot Contender center-console that T-boned a 36-foot Carrera and also struck a Boston Whaler, and his two passengers, Kelsie Karpiak, 24, and Victoria Dempsey, 20. The body of Jason Soleimani, 23, who was aboard the Carrera, has been released to his family in New York.
Larry Cameron, operations director at the medical examiner's office, declined to release the causes of death because of the active FWC investigation.
FWC spokesman Jorge Pino said Monday there was evidence of alcohol on board the Contender. He said his agency's investigators must also examine other physical evidence, including the extent of damage, the vessels' lights and instrument panels and personal belongings on board. U.S. Coast Guard personnel will analyze information from the vessels' GPS units, which trace their paths through the bay. No arrests have been made.
"This is a homicide investigation," Pino said. "It is tedious, lengthy and detailed. Innocent lives were lost and someone was responsible for that. What we need to figure out is who is responsible for causing this accident."

I was commissioned by Kwabe's management team to create artwork for his upcoming debut album titled 'Samadhi by Kwabe Macntaj'. I conceptualised and designed the entire album artwork based around a spiritual concept. The term 'Samadhi' refers to the absolute stillness of mind one can achieve through meditation. The overall concept is an attempt to portray the unjustified stigma attached to spirituality thoughout western society and the mainstream. The artwork in some cases representes an inflated ego and conveys an overall message that there is a lack of spirituality in a time when we need it most.

Citizens Protest PA Prison Expansion At Graterford Prison
About 50 people converged on Tuesday afternoon July 17 along Route 29 in Montgomery County near the Graterford State Prison to declare their opposition to the building of more prisons and the expansion of existing prisons like Graterford in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Graterford is already a massive institution.
The theme of the demonstration was Jobs Not Jails and Schools Not Prisons. Specifically, there was the $685 million in construction pushed by the Corbett administration in Harrisburg for over 8,000 new prison beds in the state -- this at a time many citizens feel the state should be re-evaluating things like the dismally failed Drug War, figuring out alternatives to prison and thinning the prison population, thus saving the taxpayer money and re-directing funds to more beneficial areas.
The main group organizing the demonstration was Decarcerate PA, a coalition of organizations and citizens fed up with the trend that emphasizes more prisons while things like education and health care get squeezed and cut to the bone.
Organizers said this effort was an experiment, since no one had ever mounted a demonstration in the area of Graterford Prison, a massive complex in Montgomery County west of Philadelphia. The area is pretty conservative. So the demonstrators were cautious.
The intersection off Route 29 for the Graterford Prison entrance road was well covered with about ten state police officers milling around and waiting. This reporter arrived a little early and, planning to walk over to speak with the police, parked in the tavern parking lot across from the entrance. But within 20 seconds, two state troopers were at my window. We were politely told the owner of the tavern did not want the likes of us in his lot.
The troopers told us there was a parking lot a half mile away where demonstrators could park and collect. In modern police parlance, that meant that lot was designated to be the "free speech zone" for the afternoon.
As Decarcerate PA folks arrived and the crowd grew in the blazing heat of the parking lot, it was decided the group would march single file toward the Graterford entrance. Immediately, a state police car with lights flashing met the group and stopped it.
Trooper Furlong, in the photo above, did the talking, and he was very polite and friendly. He said all the businesses in the vicinity of the Graterford entrance had been polled and no one wanted the demonstrators on their private property. The entrance intersection is, indeed, a pretty tight spot.

Morrissey Spring Heeled Jim tab
#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------## Date: Fri, 7 Jul 95 17:28:43 EDT From: Winston Campbell
Subject: SPRING HEELED JIM by Morrissey Spring Heeled Jim (Morrissey/Whyte) This is the second song off of -Vauxhall & I- and a pretty good one in my opinion. I play this song with a capo on the fourth fret. The intro and interlusions (if there is such a word) are this RIFF: F AmG#-------------1-----------|-------------0-----------|D#-------1--------1--------|-------1--------1--------| B---2------2-------2----2-|---2------2-------2----2-|F#-3---3---------------3---|-----2---------------2---|C#-------------------------|-0-----------------------|G#-------------------------|-------------------------|E Am Spring-Heeled Jim winks an eye C D Dsus4 He~ll do, he~ll never be done to E Am He takes on whoever flew through C D Well it~s the normal thing to do (ahhh) RIFF E Am Spring-Heeled Jim lives to love C D Dsus4 Now kissing with his mouth full E Am And his eyes on some other fool C D So many women, his head should be spinning (oh but no) RIFF E Am Spring-Heeled Jim slurs the words C D Dsus4 There is no need to be so knowing E Am Take life at five times your average speed C D Dsus4 Like I do E Am Until Jim feels the chill C D Dsus4 Oh where did all the time go E Am Once always in for the kill C Now it~s too cold D And he feels too old RIFF (ending instrumental played with verse chords) you may notice my deliberate use of Dsus4 chords and i justify that by telling you that if you listen to the album closely, it has such a feel for a Dsus4 chord. for poor people who cannot afford capoes, i can sympathize, so i will decode each chord into their correct names and their correct fingering, but having a capo makes it so much easier. (the cheapest capo costs only two dollars or maybe less). anyway: E A D G B E ----------- Capoed F = A 5 7 7 6 5 5 Capoed Am=C#m x 4 6 6 5 4 Capoed E = G# 4 6 6 5 4 4 Capoed C = E x 7 9 9 9 x Capoed D = F# x x 4 6 7 6 Capoed Dsus4=F#sus4 x x 4 6 7 7 (questions, comments, phillipics, email me) bye-bye

The Project aim:
We are working with refugee children, community groups and artists in Ramallah, Palestine to make green spaces in the city. We will be planting local and low maintenance plants grown by children, creating spaces where families can relax in this very tense part of the world. We have four sites. Your donation will help to fund travel and internal transport and materials such as cement and sand which are very expensive there. Charushila believes that by engaging with children and youth, it encourages their creative potential to aspire for a better future!
Who we are
Charushila is a small charity registered with HMRC and is part of the Small Charities Coalition. The Sanskrit word 'Charushila' is made from Charu meaning 'Beautiful' and Shila meaning 'foundation'.
How we work
Disengagement by youth and children from their immediate environment shows up in negative forms such as vandalism, crime, littering, exclusion and apathy- costs of which the society ultimately has to bear. We use simple but powerful techniques of community participation such as story telling and conversations, drawing and building workshops.
Where have we worked before
We have worked in India, the UK and Venezuela since 2010. It is heartening to see that no matter where we go, the response is the same- the same threads of humanity and compassion connects us all. We carry the UN Global compact logo and our work embraces the ethical and environmental concerns of those we work with. Recently our work was exhibited at Dublin 'Open House 2013'.
How you can help
We work on a shoe string budget so financial contributions are always welcome. We also welcome volunteers to work with us whether in our offices or on the actual projects.

Gorgeous background, and the cross turned out so cool with your new pens! That corner die is just a perfect touch with it all too! Pretty combo of your ribbon too!
I agree the time has just gone by way too fast.... I just love the look of freshly mown grass, but we have got so much rain that as soon as it is cut it seems it is growing again.

Getting started
- 1 Get a Gamebuino
- 2 Use your Gamebuino
- 3 Software setup
- 4 Upload a game through USB
- 5 Put games on the micro SD card
- 6 See Also
Get a Gamebuino
To order a Gamebuino along with some cool customization accessories, head to the Gamebuino Shop.
While you wait for your Gamebuino to arrive, you can start to play and program games using one of the Emulators.
Use your Gamebuino
Turn it on
You just received your Gamebuino. Hurray! You should first turn it on to check that nothing has been damaged during shipping. If nothing shows up the battery may be empty or the screen may have moved... don't panic, and head to the troubleshooting page.
Load games from the micro SD card
- The new graphical loader allows you to navigate through games easily. You can select a game, see it's description (use up and down arrows to browse through the description), delete saved games, or delete the game itself.
- To get back to the loader from a game, press "C" when in the game's main menu.
- If you accidentally turn the Gamebuino off while a game is loading, it won't start again. To solve this: hold "C" down, turn the Gamebuino ON, release "C", and wait 30 seconds for LOADER.HEX to be loaded from the SD card. You can also use this if you are stuck in a game which doesn't allow you to get back to the loader.
- For it to work, the micro SD card needs to be inserted, to be formatted to FAT, and to contain at least the file LOADER.HEX. See Troubleshooting#SD_card
Change the default settings
- When in the loader, select SETTINGS. The logo should look soomething like this:
- There are many settings to be changed, but you should at least set the following:
- Default username in "change settings/player name"
- Display contrast in "change settings/display/contrast"
- You can disable the critical battery alert by setting it to 0 in "change settings/battery/critic voltage"
- You can mute your Gamebuino by default by setting "sound/default volume" to 0.
- You can leave the other settings at their default value, it should be okay.
- Don't forget to select "save" before you exit.
Charge the battery
Note: If you let your Gamebuino discharged for a long period of time (months), it might reduce the battery capacity. Please charge it at least once a month.
You may want to charge your Gamebuino's battery when you receive it. To load the battery, you just have to connect your Gamebuino to an USB port (from your computer or an outlet charger) using the provided micro USB cable. The "charging" LED will turn on (the one beneath the lightning bolt battery symbol) until it's fully charged. Then, the "charged" LED will turn on (the one beneath to the full battery symbol). Note that your Gamebuino will charge faster if turned off and that a charged battery will give you at least 8 hours of continuous play.
Software setup
Install the Arduino software
- Download the Arduino application here and follow instructions to install it.
- Note: If you are using a package manager to install Arduino, make sure it installs Arduino 1.0.5 or above (version 1.0 won't work).
Install the Gamebuino Library
- Download and the Gamebuino library's archive and extract it (more download in the download page).
- Copy the "libraries" and "hardware" folders to the Arduino sketchbook folder. On Windows it is usually named "Arduino" inside the My Documents directory. On OS X and Linux the sketchbook directory is usually named "sketchbook" inside your home directory. You can change its location in Arduino's preferences.
- To check that the library is correctly installed re-start the Arduino software and click on File/Examples, you should find "Gamebuino".
- Now you should be able to set the device to Gamebuino by selecting Tools/boards/Gamebuino in the menu bar.
Install the drivers
If you need help installing the drivers, refer to the Arduino guide (Windows, MacOSX, Linux). Note that your Gamebuino should be turned on when you connect it to the computer
Upload a game through USB
Note: It's better to used one of the Emulators during development, and once you're done put the HEX file on the SD card (see below), rather than using the USB upload. This will allow faster development, avoid wearing the flash memory, and avoid messing up saved games.
- Start the Arduino software
- Click on File/Examples/Gamebuino/ and open an example. If there is no Gamebuino folder, check that you correctly installed the library.
- Click on Tools/boards/Gamebuino to set the right device.
- Click on Tools/Serial Port and select the one corresponding to your Gamebuino. If it's grayed out check that you have correctly installed the drivers, that your Gamebuino is turned on, and that the cable is working and correctly plugged in.
- Click on "Upload" or press Ctrl+U
You just uploaded your first Gamebuino game, congratulations !
Put games on the micro SD card
Get an .HEX
You need a compiled game in the .HEX format on the micro SD card to be able to play them on your console.
.HEX can also be played on a computer using the Simbuino emulator (see Download).
You can get a compilation of the necessary
.HEX files (
LOADER.HEX and
SETTINGS.HEX) along with up-to-date games here: Gamebuino-Games-Compilation.
Browse all the games created by the community by visiting the Games Gallery.
Make your own .HEX
- Start the Arduino software
- Click on File/Preferences and check "Show verbose output during compilation"
- Compile your program (Ctrl+R)
- A lot of text will scroll in the black area at the bottom of the window. The build directory path will be displayed there, and should looke something like:
- Windows:
"C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\build[random number].tmp\a_Hello.cpp.hex".
- GNU/Linux:
"/tmp/build[random number].tmp/a_Hello.cpp.hex"
- Mac : Type
open $TMPDIRin your mac's terminal to open the folder that is otherwise not accessible. You can then make a shortcut to your desktop.
- Windows:
- You can also change the build path in
"arduino/lib/preferences.txt"by changing the line
build.path=(directory you want).
- Navigate to this folder and find the .hex file with the name of your program
- Rename it to a 8:3 format: only capitals, 8 characters max for the name and .HEX extension. For example: CRABATOR.HEX or PONG.HEX
Put it on the micro SD card
Put your .HEX file with a 8:3 name on your micro SD card using the micro SD adapter provided. You can now select the .HEX file on your Gamebuino to load it on the go, without a computer! Do NOT turn off your Gamebuino while flashing.
Add a logo and description
If you want your game to appear with a logo and description in the loader, you have to create an .INF file and put it along the .HEX file on the SD card.
- Get the INF encoder from the Download page (requires Java).
- Put the generated .INF file along with the game's .HEX file on the SD card. They must have the same name, all in capitals, and 8 characters max. For example CRABATOR.HEX (the game binaries) and CRABATOR.INF (the description file).
- Logo must be 19*18px
- Slides must be 84*32px, up to 255 slides is allowed.
- Drag and drop slides to reorganize them
- The first slide is the one shown while the game is loading
- Slides can be used to describe the game, tell the story, explain how to play, etc. By putting this information in the INF you can read it before loading the game, everything that's in the .INF don't need to be in the .HEX so it frees some space for your code.

Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- American Express (NYSE: AXP) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of A+ . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 7.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- AMERICAN EXPRESS CO's earnings per share declined by 44.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AMERICAN EXPRESS CO reported lower earnings of $3.87 versus $4.08 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.78 versus $3.87).
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Consumer Finance industry and the overall market, AMERICAN EXPRESS CO's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period, despite the company's weak earnings results. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that the other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.

Washington (CNN) -- (CNN) -- The House of Representatives passed a government spending bill after a marathon session Saturday morning that slashes more than $60 billion in federal funding for the seven months remaining in the 2011 fiscal year.
The vote on the GOP measure won by a 235-189 margin, at a vote that occurred right before 5 a.m.
The fight over spending now moves to the Senate, but with President Obama already issuing a veto threat of the House bill and Senate Democratic leaders calling the cuts "extreme," the specter of a government shutdown looms. Only two weeks remain before the current resolution funding federal agencies expires.
The vote followed a rare open debate on the House floor over four days, and included literally hundreds of amendments, from defunding the new health care law, to eliminating money for a controversial backup engine for the F-35 fighter jet, and zeroing out federal funds for Planned Parenthood.
While Speaker John Boehner touted what he called a unprecedented debate on the House floor, the long and often testy exchanges exposed divisions within the House GOP on several occasions. Scores of House Republicans joined Democrats to stave off proposed cuts to police and fire fighters. On another amendment, pushed by a group of House conservatives to cut $22 billion more in federal spending, 92 Republicans joined all House Democrats to oppose deeper cuts.
House GOP leaders argued their bill cuts $100 billion in federal spending when compared to the budget proposed by President Obama for 2011, but that budget was never enacted. The $60 billion figure is the amount the bill would cut from current spending by government agencies.

Develop is reporting that Blizzard might be looking into an interesting approach for one of it's upcoming games, saying the company "will embrace free-to-play and will apply the model in an upcoming, as yet unannounced game."
The website couldn't provide further details on the specific project this would apply to, but the studio is widely known for working on a next-gen MMO named "Project Titan". While the move would be a major change from the model we have become accustomed to in World of Warcraft, Blizzard may need to follow suit to keep up with many other MMO titles going free-to-play in the past few years.
It is also possible that this game in question applies to an entirely different "unannounced game" as the California studio has said it will expand business opportunities to create both subscription and freemium titles.

Fairy Tale Beauty Reigns Supreme at Paris Fashion Week
If New York Fashion Week is the place to look for upcoming beauty trends that will easily translate into real life, Paris is the place to indulge in the high fashion fantasy. It's where hair and makeup legends like Pat McGrath and Luigi Murenu can whip up wondrous looks, experiment with new materials, and turn models into walking works of art. Our favourite looks from the City of Lights, above.
So many makeup artists have championed the idea of "one graphic element" against a bare face this season—it was brilliantly executed by Peter Philips at Dries Van Noten.
Stella McCartney's models always boast the freshest faces, thanks to an intensive backstage skincare routine. Instead of colour, McGrath used brown mascara on the models.
Murenu wove double braids together while McGrath taped the models' faces for a slight lift at Givenchy. Bleached brows completed the almost alien-like look.
Depending on the colour of the model's outfit at Chanel, she got feline flicks of neon orange, pink, blue, or green. As for those ponytails, Sam McKnight built something akin to fancy dreadlocks with braids, leftover pieces of Chanel tweed, and even pearls!
Diane Kendal painted models' eyelids lilac with M.A.C.'s Eye Shadow ($15) in Beautiful Iris.
Aaron de Mey wanted Yves Klein blue liner to stand out on the dark runway at Kenzo, so he used M.A.C's Chromaline ($19) in Marine Ultra.
We told you gym hair was having a moment—at Celine, models wore slicked-back knots twisted at the nape of the neck.
McGrath pressed glitter into liquid latex at Dior—the models just peeled them off right after!

Buffy's Nicholas Brendon Walked Off the Set of Dr. Phil, But the Episode Was Still 'Completed' [Updated]
"Dr. Phil went for the jugular."
Nicholas Brendon has been having a rough go of it. The actor best known as Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer has had multiple run-ins with the law in the past year, and got arrested various times for trashing hotel property and causing a public ruckus. The police reports often stated that Brendon was under the influence of alcohol and pills when the incidents happened.
In a very public rehabilitation, Brendon agreed to go on Dr. Phil to talk about his problems. However, as the episode was taping, Brendon walked out. "When I was in that seat, I felt that Dr. Phil went for the jugular, talking about some of my recent mistakes, with no build up," Brendon wrote on Facebook. "I felt that he wanted me to lay the darkest parts of myself on national TV right from the start, and I'm not willing to do that." He said that he would say more but can't because of "contractual obligations" to Dr. Phil. Instead, Brendon says that he's in private treatment so that he can "live a long and happy life."
Hi guys, Nicky here. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge all the good Dr. Phil has done for people, famous or...Posted by Nicholas Brendon on Wednesday, August 26, 2015
Update: A spokesperson for Dr. Phil released the following statement about the walkout, saying that it was "respectful" and that the episode itself was "completed as scheduled" and will air at a later date:
Nicholas Brendon appeared on Dr. Phil yesterday. Unfortunately, he chose to disengage before a dialogue with Dr. Phil ever began. There was no drama, he simply chose to leave and did so in a respectful manner. His family and associates remained and participated fully and productively. Dr. Phil has nothing but the highest respect for Nicholas and wishes him the best in his quest for physical/mental health and sobriety, and stands ready to assist him in any way possible. The episode was completed as scheduled. An airdate will be announced in the future.

Southern Baptist imagery meets klezmer/rockabilly on this band's second album.
With a title like Believe, you'd think Th' Legendary Shack-Shakers have a specific something to believe in. And yet, the album's cover displays a mishmash of Christian or Muslim hands clasped in prayer, an upside-down star with funky characters on it, palmistry lines on the creepy hand, astrological symbols, crosses, some sort of masonic/Egyptian eye, devil horns, and the sun and moon. What's all that supposed to mean? It's like Douglas Adams' electric monk or something, programmed to believe up to 17 contradictory ideas at once.
Electric monkism follows the band into its music-- cowpunk/psychobilly that deals in quasi-religious/sacreligious vagaries but only hints at a connection to the group's ironic Southern Baptist image. Clearly, they're not theologists, and they seem to think Satan's kinda neat in a noncommital way, so don't come for the preaching-- come for a shit-kicking good time. Th' Legendary Shack-Shakers could be considered style over substance but their music is so much fuxD1and, besides, they do style very well.
They open the album with its high point-- a badass klezmer/rockabilly hoedown called "Agony Wagon", which kicks off with clarinet and accordion riffing, sweet shuffling drums, and fired-up vocal. They seem to realize how good it is, reprising it in the album's closing instrumental. In between, there's plenty of swaggering and stomping about, with big-reverb cowpunk like "Bible Cyst" and "Where's the Devil...When You Need Him?" rubbing up against the ramshackle acoustic waltz ballad "The Pony to Bet On" and distorted hard rock(abilly) numbers like "Cussin' in Tongues" and the Sonny Boy Williamson/Willie Dixon cover "Help Me". The mouth harp gets plenty of action, especially on "Fistwhistle Boogie", where vocalist Col. J.D. Wilkes lets loose on the thing like an Old Western mob on a prisoner.
Believe is the second album from the Shack-Shakers (they had the gall to name the first one Cock-a-Doodle-Don't), and by the sound of things they've grown quite comfortable with their spiritually ambiguous ways and more importantly with their brand of wild, raving psychobilly. I actually wish they'd extended the klezmer tip through the whole album, because it's their most interesting card to play, but the chicken shack rock they came up with instead is full of enough piss and vinegar for a plenty good time.

Flores is one of the main islands of east Nusa Tenggara which are consist of Flores, Sumba, Komodo, Solor Alor, Roti and west Timor. There are many small islands on the water of flores such as Rinca, Ende, Adonare, Tomblem, Pador, Besar, Pomana, Babi, Pamana, and Palu. At the beach of West Flores, north sea of Komodo there are group of small islands consist of Sebayur Besar, Sebayur Kecil, Tataba, Siaba Besar, Mapean, Papagaram Besar, Papagaram Kecil, Panakia, Pimpe, Boasala, Kaaba, Kalong, Kelor, Bangko, and many specs of atols.
Administratively Flores is under East Nusa Tenggara Province separated from Bali around 1950s, and now has the center of administration is at Kupang city on West Timor island. There are 8 sub-ethnic group live on the island including it's small island ; (1) The Manggarai, (2) The Riung, (3) Ngada, (4) Nage-Keo, (5) The Ende, (6) The Lio, (7) The Sikka, (8) Larantuka. Sub no 2,3,4 and 5 culturally shows slight difference, yet compare to Manggaraian shows significant difference including physical traits. The Manggarai people has the market physical characteristic of Mongoloid-Malay, but some small characteristic showing the other group above.
The skin color of the Manggaraian is brighter like other Western Indonesian people with more people have straight hairs. The other ethnic groups shows great similarity of Malanesian people, although their skin color is not as dark as the people of West Papua. At the east tip of Flores there is a sub-ethnic living at Larantuka town showing great mix of people. this probably has been caused by the fact that Larantuka has become the center of Christian missionary from 17th century. So inter marriage have been taking place.
The number of people recorded in 1930 around 250.000 people, and more better census in 1964 recorded 1.582.200 people. With this figure Flores and it's island showing small density of population which is 41 person per square km. Their village for Manggaraian are constructed on the highland or foot of mountain, and each village formed circular, divided into 3, front, center and back.
In the past at each part of this settlement had special holy place which was considered the place of the guardian of the village. This holy places are assemblages of natural stones with stepped pyramid with flat on top. At the front is banyan tree and the village meeting hall. In the past this meeting hall also place to preserve a drum, a music instrument which is considered a holy tool. This type of stone altar also known by people of Ngada at central Flores. In the past the villages were fenced with strong bamboo, and the outer part still protected by plants having sharp stings, yet today this type of villages are left already, but traces can still be seen at some places.
The people of Ngada has started to cultivated the land with irrigation system since 60 years ago where they could manage more stable life. But some people are still moving from one place to another clearing and burn forest. The main crops they grow are corn and rice. Besides cultivating land for crops the Floresian also grow buffaloes, but it is not for their economic value, only for feast, religion, status symbols, gift of marriage is also important beside horses. Horse also use for transporting people and goods.
Marriage tradition of Floresian, especially among Manggarai, happened naturally as a result of the relation between youth and girl, but this type of marriage required big amount of gift to be given to girl's parent. So the ideal marriage to avoid this high requirement is marriage between a youth with the daughter of his mother's brother, and also marriage by fledging from home with the approval of both sides. Like other ethnics of Indonesia the procedure of marriage is almost the same, initiated by youth's parents and relatives will come to girl's parent to request their girl for their son. It is often that a man has married a woman but still can not give the gift to woman's parents, so he has to work for some days or months to pay this at wife's parents. Other type of marriage in Manggarai or Floresian is general is monogamy very rare of case polygamy like in Java, furthermore Floresian are already Christian observer. Kinship system of the Manggarai and Ngada is a big family base on patrilineal leanage, living virilocally, called a "Kilo" some kilos form a small clan or minimal leanage called "Panga" which traces their generation up to 5 to 6 generations. Today the relation within the Panga is not clear anymore except for the name tradition. In the past the unit of Panga will be bound by the traditional ceremony such as death ceremony, building public places and others. The bigger group of Panga is called "wa'u" who has a complex of same traditional elements, folklore, totem, and common ancestors, and ceremonies which all have been forgotten today.
In 1761 the kingdom of Bima in Sumbawa was taken over by Makassar from Karangasem kingdom of Bali with the help of Dutch on the area of Manggarai, but this was not long, as Bima was shocked by great explosion of Mt. Tambora in 1815. From the report of Bima kingdom staff at Manggarai it is known that the center of Manggarai kindom was at Cibal. The original structure of Manggarai kingdom can still be seen until today. The kingdom was consist of units called "Dalu". It were 39 Dalu, each Dalu consist of some Glarang, and each Glarang consist of some villages or "beo". Every Dalu usually controlled by a clan or by a wa'u. The head of a Dalu is called a "Kraeng Adak", while the most important Dalus such as Todo and Bayo, their head is called "Sangaji". Important officers in Manggarai are "tu'a tana" a person who expert in land ownership, and "raja bicara" a diplomat. These officers were present at head level of kingdom, Dalu and Glarang. 5 social layers is also introduces based on originality of their place on the society or in more clear tense is seniority. The Kraeng in Manggarai, and Gae Meze in Ngada are the borjouise, while "Ata Leke" in Manggarai and "Gae Kisa" in Ngada is common people, and the group of slaves which is not exist anymore. The traditional belief of Floresian is general by concept is the same as other ethnic groups of Indonesia, basically they respect the ancestors, plus holy souls of nature. In Manggarai and Ngada they have highest god called "Mori Karaeng", while Ngada called "Deva".

SEATTLE, WASH. — What'll you have? Name your pleasure. If it's got anything to do with eating, seafood in particular, raw on ice or cooked and ready to eat, the public market at the foot of Pike Street is likely to have it.
Seattle's Pike Place Market is the oldest and best open-air city market in the United States. It is a patchwork-quilt bazaar of stalls housing greengrocers and fishmongers, ethnic groceries of every stripe, useless souvenirs, antiques, flea market ephemera, and restaurants dishing out everything from Indonesian sate to tea and crumpets.

text: VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — Three unions representing a majority of CP Air employees went on strike early Monday. Three hours later the 5,000 mechanics, flight attendants and baggage handlers called off the walkout. Reason: Bargainers reached agreement on a new contract. No details of the pact were released, and a machinists' spokesman said it would be submitted to union members for a vote. CP Air, Canada's second-largest airline, said only a few domestic flights were affected by the walkout. The airline had been prepared to continue operating despite a strike. A sticking point: Attempts by the airline to broaden job descriptions, cut wages and hire more part-time workers.

Digital technologies are changing the nature of teaching, learning and administration across all educational sectors. In particular they are changing the way learners, teachers and administrators access, manage and disseminate information. Through digital technologies, Web 2.0 applications and the rise of online communities and mobile applications, students who entered education in the first decade of the twenty-first century have grown up with new practices and skills associated with reading, writing and communication.
The Language, Literacy & Digital Education group are engaged in research projects and publications related to the use of digital technologies and new media in education in general and in the areas of language and literacy in particular. We have a growing list of international members and the group acts as a forum for collaboration and the dissemination of expertise, knowledge and research.

Q: What can I do to help?
A: Sign! Sign to support the idea of a Global Bill of Rights. Your simple signature is the most important thing that you can do because it's an exercise of power. It's getting behind something that can actually be enforceable, which is different from many things that are just declarations.
Q: What is the ultimate goal of Unite for Rights?
A: Humanity is emerging from warring nation states to peace and prosperity within a global community. Given people as they are, Unite brings out the best and curtails the worst so that this transition can take place.
Q. Isn't it better to spend time and resources to help people with immediate needs such as giving a starving person something to eat, or a child the medicine they need?
A. Yes it is better, but the immediate and the long term are not mutually exclusive. There is a good story that highlights this answer:
- There was a town by a river and one day bodies started floating down the river, some injured and many of them dead. The people in the town were caring and immediately started pulling bodies out of the water. The bodies kept coming so they started building facilities by the river so they could help more people effectively. One day, as a young woman was helping others to pull a body out of the water she looked up and said "we should continue to pull these bodies out of the water, but shouldn't somebody go take a look upstream."
Unite is for the few who are willing to go upstream to take a look. Unite supports 99% of all energy and money to going to immediate needs, and to have 1% go to Unite to go upstream and implement a plan to reduce the flow of bodies.

Song of the Day
Song of the Day
Notorious B.I.G- Gimme the Loot
Old School Biggie is soooo smooth. Ready To Die hands down Biggies best album.
Audiodub is one of those bands that will blow up in popularity once their name gets a little bit more known. They sound very similar to Sublime, Rebelution, Expendables etc.. Heres one of my favorite songs by them
Audiodub- Slow Girl

Sublime Badfish
My all time favorite song
Posted by musicman at 11:47 AM 1 comment:
The beginning of true hip-hop. Wu Tang is with out a doubt the most skilled hiphop group there is on the planet. Everyone of their songs brings something new from incredible lyricism to smoothest flow there is. If you love artists such as Big L, Biggie, Tupac, Jedi Mind Tricks, Ice Cube, Dre Dre, Snoop, etc then your gonna love Wu tang. Im sure most of you have heard of Wu tang but heres a little taste of what they have to offer. (Cash Rules Everything Around ME) Wu Tang Clan- CREAM

Sublime has hands down been one of the biggest influences on my life. Was the first band i ever heard and has given me tons and tons of memories. Sublime-Badfish my all time favorite song of all time is most played song on my itunes (over 1,000 times) and every time i here it, i block out everything around me. Sublime has influenced a strong majority of musicians in this day and age, from big time artists like Slightly Stoopid to more small time artists that some people have not heard of YET, such as Audiodub. Sublime was what i would describe as a TrueMusic. They played through their heart and soul and showed their talent. If you love relaxing music then you will love Sublime, if you love music with heart then you will love Sublime and if you love high qaulity TrueMusic then you will love Sublime. If you have not heard of Sublime then here are some recommendations of songs: Badfish, Santeria, What I Got, Wrong Way, Dont Push, Slow Ride, 40 oz to Freedom, Date Rape, etc.. Im sure after you listen to these, you will be a fan of Sublime. These are just some of their more known songs, if you want some a list of their songs just let me know. RIP Bradley Nowell February 22, 1968 – May 25, 1996.

True music now adays is very hard to come by, with mainstream music on the rise and the quality of music on the decline there needs to be a place where you can listen and look up and discuss good music. That is why i made this blog. Here you can post certain bands and links and discuss them, etc.. that you feel are the definition of TrueMusic. Hopefully this will grow and become a solid place in which you can find and discuss good music and even the up and coming if you can find it. Please feel free to voice your opinion. Music from hip-hop to reggae or from rock to country. Just to give a little insight on what i love to listen too and so you can get a taste of what type of music and the quality of music i listen too; Favorite band of all time-Sublime.
