Microsoft has quietly started testing its Microsoft Update service, which will replace Windows Update later this year. Like Windows Update, Microsoft Update will give Windows users a central location to download Windows-related patches and software updates. But Microsoft Update will also provide update downloads for all supported Microsoft non-Windows applications, including Microsoft Office.
Microsoft has been planning the move to Microsoft Update for some time. I first wrote about the service way back in July 2003 (see the first URL below). But moving to Microsoft Update required a large amount of back-end work. First, Microsoft moved to the V5 software update engine that now provides the foundation for the current versions of Windows Update, Automatic Updates, and the company's other software update products. With that engine in place, the company is finally turning its attention to Microsoft Update.
The beta Microsoft Update site, which went live last night and is available (if temporarily) to the public (see the second URL below), is clearly a work in progress. The site is still branded Windows Update, not Microsoft Update, and no non-Windows updates are yet available. Sources at Microsoft tell me that the Microsoft Update beta will be made available to beta testers and Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2005 attendees in second quarter 2005 and that the final release is scheduled for third quarter 2005.

TARPON SPRINGS — John Huston of Innisbrook had just claimed the Florida Open Golf Championship with a 4-under-par 68 Sunday when he was asked what the biggest victory of his career, and the $10,800 winner's check meant.
''It means I can go to Red Lobster instead of McDonald's,'' Huston said.
All the times when Huston questioned whether he would ever win a four-day tournament were put to rest Sunday at Innisbrook Resort's 6,999-yard, par-72 Island course.

I'm one of those guys that loves a good collaboration, especially between two exceptional, made in the USA brands like Cielo and Tanner Goods. We saw some early bicycle portage work from Tanner at NAHBS last year and this year, Cielo will be presenting two special bicycles, both complete with handmade Tanner products. Choose either the Tanner Goods Edition Cross Classic or Sportif Classic and they will come loaded with a handlebar bag, saddle bag, frame bag, painted matching fenders and Tanner mud flaps.
Check out more photos here!
Stay tuned for more information, including pricing and availability, during NAHBS.

Like the Prussian tower and the
Bavarian tower at the east entrance of the
Olympiastadion, the Glockenturm (bell tower) is a reinforced-concrete structure,
which is covered with limestone that is marked by fossil imprints of sea shells.
The Nazis built the Langemarckhalle as a monumental ceremonial hall,
in which they honored the young soldiers who were killed at Langemarck shortly
after the outbreak of the First World War. On May 11, 1936, a huge bell was installed
in the bell tower. The sculptor, Walter E. Lemcke, created the bell, which was
cast in Bochum. Today the bell stands on a pedestal beside the Olympiastadion.
The bell and correspondingly the tower symbolized the power and the strength on the
Nazi-state, because this bell served as a church bell and, during the Nazi-state, would
ring at baptisms and funerals.
In 1945, the Glockenturm was burnt
out; a film archive was maintained in it during the
war. In 1948, the English Allies demolished the heavily-damaged tower; and, in the 1950s,
Werner March rebuilt it.

Exeposé Comment caught up with Niall Walker of Exeter Socialist Students to discuss the recent student protests in London, the lecturer strike and socialism in general.
Exeposé Comment: What are your thoughts on the multiple arrests as hundreds of student protesters clash with police in central London?
Niall Walker: We live in a country that claims to be a bastion of civil rights and democracy and have invaded countries around the world like Iraq on this basis. Yet at home we silence dissent even when it is in the form of a peaceful student protest. People should have the right to protest without the fear of an oppressive police force or the threat of arrest. Socialist Students supports the protests and fully condemns this crackdown on peaceful demonstration. There is an event planned for Wednesday evening 7pm in Queens Building with music, performances and short films to show solidarity with arrested student protestors and to lay the foundations for a campaign in defence of the right to protest, which we are hoping to build cross-society support for in the coming months.
EC: Over the last few months the economy has shown small signs of improvement. Are you optimistic for the future?
NW: Not at all. The recovery has been built on a record low Bank of England interest rate and more of the same kind of investment in the housing market that created an artificial bubble and subsequent economic crisis. We can expect a similar crisis to happen again in the not too distant future The same mistakes are being made, and we can expect the same outcome, but the questions remain of when and how severe that crisis will be. Anyone who claims, as Gordon Brown boldly did a few years ago, to have achieved an economy within capitalism that has transcended the boom-bust cycle, is living in a fantasy. Anyone who wants a stable economy free from that cycle will have to look elsewhere than capitalism. It's a systemic issue.
EC:Russell Brand recently called for a total revolution of consciousness and our entire social, political and economic system. Does he have anything meaningful to say?
NW:Russell Brand's overall point shouldn't be disregarded, even if you don't agree with everything he says: he is articulating the widespread disillusionment the general public have with the financial and political institutions in this country. A YouGov poll taken on 7th November showed that 49% of people say the system as a whole needs major changes (and this doesn't take in to account those who want minor change), and while no set of policies or ideas has emerged yet which carries that disillusionment forward in a practical way, I think this should be the starting point for a real discussion of what we want society to look like and where it falls short of that now.
EC:Some research suggests that almost two thirds of young people don't trust our politicians. Do you sympathise with these people? What could be done to get their trust back?
NW:I'm just surprised the figure isn't higher than it is. This government betrayed young people when they broke their promise and raised tuition fees to £9,000. Their privatisation of student debt represents yet another attack on students, with the contractual terms that we signed up to likely to be altered detrimentally. Young people are further disillusioned by the absence of a credible opposition party. Labour have stated their intention to continue austerity and condemn workers' strike action. The major parties no longer represent even their own voters. A majority of Conservative and UKIP voters for example have been found to support the renationalisation of railways and energy companies, yet such a policy is not being put forward by any major party. There is a conflict between Westminster's conception of what policies will help get them re-elected, and what the demands of the public are. Regardless of what you think of who should own the railways or energy companies, the fact that no major party proposes public ownership is a powerful indictment of our political system. Trust is beside the point: a political system which continually lies and is misrepresentative of public concerns will never be trusted, only a truly democratic system will gain such faith.
EC:Were the lecturers right to strike last week?
NW:Absolutely. Given the 13% pay cut in real terms to its staff over the past 5 years (lecturers and non-academic staff), the University's offer of a 1% pay rise (still below inflation) is disgraceful. For the University to not pay all its staff properly while its Vice-Chancellor receives a six-figure salary plus bonuses, pension, expenses, and a company car is completely hypocritical. The student sit-in that coincided with the strike at the University showed the solidarity between Exeter's students and the staff.
EC:Is socialism a dream or a realistic goal?
NW:The Socialist Students are tackling very realistic issues. We have campaigned against zero hour contracts, the English Defence League and sexism on campus. While these issues alone do not achieve socialism in and of themselves they show that it is only through the political self-organisation of people in groups like Socialist Students that real change can be achieved. Our goals are wider than just socialism. We often co-operate with other societies such as the Autonomous Students Network, the Occupy movement and Unions to bring about change. The process of activism is more important than the desire towards a largely hypothetical goal.
EC:How has this term gone for the society?
NW:We benefited from a large influx of members following fresher's week. This has allowed us to lead a number of successful campaigns, including participating in the English Defence League counterdemonstration and our occupation in support of staff strikers, which gained national media coverage. We run weekly public meetings on Wednesdays in which we discuss issues surrounding socialism which are free to all students.

Family Therapy
Addiction is a condition that has repercussions far beyond individual suffering. Family and friends of the addict or alcoholic are also negatively affected in a variety of ways.
For example, addicts and alcoholics, by nature, can be very selfish. This is because they must put habitual needs above those of others. When addiction takes over the brain, the drive to continue using overtakes every other priority in life.
This may result in emotional pain and suffering on the part of those who love the client. This is a critical problem, because very often the people needed most for support are unable to provide it because of ongoing relationship dysfunction.
However, by including family therapy in addiction treatment, wounds can be healed, and improvements in understanding and communication can help rebuild the foundation for the client's support system.
Components of Family Therapy
The staff at Just Believe Recovery understand the importance of involving the client's family and friends in the recovery process. Moreover, the family is a critical component of the client's ongoing treatment.
In addition to the client, our professionals assess the needs of the family, and provide education about chemical dependence and the facets of addiction. We also provide family support throughout the client's treatment and recovery.
Within the first week of treatment, a therapist will establish communication with the family. As appropriate, staff will schedule visitations and/or phone conversations between the client and his or her family. As treatment progresses, these sessions will begin to focus on the reintegration of the client and the family.
By addressing addiction using the active involvement of a support system, clients are privy to the love and acceptance they require to regain a foothold in the world outside of addiction. In addition, it also assists loved ones in their own recovery from the damage caused by the user's addiction.

ambient, experimental, jazz label
Eko Fisk – Hypnagogia [SLNT102]
Sounds from the space between sleep and waking, where the subconscious takes control.
Bledi Boraku – Tha [SLNT101]
"Tha" is a truly remarkable achievement that should be enjoyed in it's entirety to guarantee the best listening experience possible.
Various Artists – 100th Anniversary Compilation [SLNT100]
For the 100th release we've invited artists who significantly contributed to our label and by their music formed what "Silent Flow" is today.
Urban Bosque – 2n Body [SLNT099]
Urban Bosque intends to establish the relationship between the electricity, as a generator of sound, and the energy (mechanical, wind, electric) that comes from the body that excites the various acoustic instruments.
The Cherry Blues Project – The Cherry Blues Project & brokenmoon [SLNT098]
Dark, cold and dense ambient.
Jazzdefector & Nulix – North SW [SLNT097]
Compass is useless where we're heading.
Eko Fisk – Badwater [SLNT096]
A man wakes up at the side of a road in Death Valley, California. He wonders if he might be dead.
Kurgan Hors – Palus est [SLNT095]
"Palus est" was born as a soundtrack to an old story never written, it's emerged from my dreams. Story set in northern Italy's swampland where strange presences inhabit or pass. Living and mysterious nature. I've seen it. I tell it with sound.
Philippe Zulaica – L'inquietude [SLNT094]
"The album L'Inquietude is made of improvisations recorded in 2015 and 2016. They are then cut, stacked, sampled and re-orchestrated in a quick and intuitive process close to improvisation. As I usually do since 2001, many fragments of earlier recordings and albums are also reused, processed and handled in loops or textures."
The Kinoslav Studio Orchestra – Cathedral [SLNT093]
Cathedral is composed of acoustic and electronic music employing a rich palette of technology and emotion. Step into the depths of another Bio-cinematic landscape and lose yourself in the progressive dark ambient world of the Kinoslav Studio Orchestra.
Dyb – Drifting Images [SLNT092]
Each sound is a color that was filling the blank canvas of his home studio, executed in the dark and at a high volume to immerse in the restless ocean of the sounds that embrace these feelings exposed to the listener. He hopes to sit and be captured by them. Three compositions that form this album are the result of improvisation and catharsis.
North Hive – Arrow [SLNT091]
"I think, while working on this release I've finally approached the line beyond which my own role in the process of creation is minimized. During two working months the overall concept was changed so many times, that I've finally realized there's no need for it. Sometimes the material seemed to evolve separately, on its own, leaving me only a mechanical work to record what was happening."
Nemeton – Unmotion [SLNT090]
This set of pieces was inspired by the word "unmotion", which originates from a poem by E. E. Cummings. The word implies a condition of stasis, a lack of movement, a moment of tranquility.
omar el abd – Dulcet Noise [SLNT089]
With no preconceived concept or structure the building blocks of Dulcet Noise were improvised.
Robert G. Rough – Household Accidents [SLNT088]
Psychoacoustic treatment to erase your mind from glitches and defects.

Dynamic melancholia from Italian musician Luca Crivellaro. "Fields of Venus" are the places to go when you are alone, curious and numb.
Edge Of October – Shores Of The Subconscious [SLNT086]
It's like you're sitting on a deserted seashore at night. Steadily waves move closer and closer to you. After a while you feel your feet are wet, but you don't care and keep staring at water full of your own thoughts. The tide continues to rise. Finally you realize that you're already underwater surrounded by darkness – the perfect spot for you to think.
The Kinoslav Studio Orchestra – Fields Of Hope And Grain [SLNT085]
A soundtrack to a noir film with you as the main character. The guitars and violin create an unusual scenario for you to withstand.
North Hive – Gaia [SLNT084]
The main idea of the album "Gaia" is a journey round the worlds of John Cunningham Lilly, which he described in his work "The center of the cyclone". While creating this album, we wanted to convey the atmosphere of those spaces in the sound field, which he discovered.
Dyb – Emerge [SLNT083]
Emerge is the sound of fear, frustration, joy, pain, a small treasure we wish to share.
Angstrom Institute – Musiq Extrem [SLNT082]
Doc. AtmosfearCrush continues to push the borders of electronic music.
DR – Sketches [SLNT081]
Another lost fight with insomnia.
Matthew VandenBrook – In The Distance [SLNT080]
In the distance one can hear thunder. Systematic, obnoxious, threatening. In the distance one can see lightning. Slight, beautiful, full of promise.
North Hive & Tile Shore – Homeworld [SLNT079]
Homeworld is a symmetry of soundscapes, a scene from two different point of views, a double journey experience.
Robert Farrugia – They Glistened Sharply Through Morning Dew [SLNT078]
A Neo-classical influence is woven throughout Robert Farrugia's work, and in this particular release one can find an array of elements ranging from ringing piano tones and soothing timbres.
Whispering Souls – Petrichor [SLNT077]
Whispering Souls is a mixture of Orchestral and electronic music, taking influence from artists such as Bjork, Amon Tobin, Hans Zimmer and Saltillo.
The Kinoslav Studio Orchestra – Kenosis [SLNT076]

Angstrom Institute – Origin Of Ghosts [SLNT075]
Inspired by the whole Cyberpunk genre, like Neuromancer, Ghost in a Shell, Bladerunner – Angstrom Institute takes you on a journey of storytelling. It quite seems we're already live in such utopia times...
Andrew Henry – Washington [SLNT074]
Washington is Andrew Henry's 23rd release as a solo artist and his first on Silent Flow.
Filip Szyszkowski – Receive The Signal [SLNT073]
Receive the message. Flow the system.
Melting Clouds – Erlkonig [SLNT072]
Welcome to the dark and mysterious forest full of supernatural creatures. Strange yet attractive beings are willing to show you their home.
Orrorin Daydream – Like A Lioness [SLNT071]
Some visions mark our retina for long. How to advance through sometimes dark, sometimes clear paths of our memories. How can we transform the despicable souvenir into a floating and comforting strength.
The Kinoslav Studio Orchestra – ICON [SLNT070]
If life is a bio-cinematic experience, let the soundtrack be excellent.
Matthew VandenBrook – At Night / Breathe [SLNT069]

DR – Fernweh [SLNT067]
"I am again in a mood to break out and search a place or way to be myself, and live my life."
Angstrom Institute – Better Than Life [SLNT066]
The album starts with the epic title-song "Better Than Life" and brings the listener directly into the dystopic shady worlds of Angstrom Institute.
North Hive – Immersion [SLNT065]
The work on the "Immersion" album started right after the release of "Cera Alba" and is a continuation of experiments with granular synthesis based on field recordings. Random generators were actively used for some of the synths to liven up and individualize the mise en scene.
Sozu Project – Introspection [SLNT064]
Three tracks on the path towards the introspection. Three steps into meditation… and return. An attempt to explore a minimal environment creating a contrast between extreme frequencies… quiet butsneaky and almost hostile!
Sobria Ebrietas – Esion [SLNT063]
Following several albums, EP's and many sonic & visual collaborations spanning through 20 years, this search asserted itself and opened out to create a unique and unclassable soundscape still true to its original quest: the love of Sound.
Under The Complex – Pantheos [SLNT062]
Good or bad emotions... they construct us. "Pantheos" is a mixture of some experiences and feelings, translated into an unconventional musical structure, sometimes beautiful, sometimes grotesque.
Filip Szyszkowski – Branches [SLNT061]
An empty room. Solitude mixed with drugs. Branches hit the glass.
Wavespan & Andjru Werderitsch – Variation : Repetition [SLNT060]
A synthesis of nature and technology. Environmental soundscapes. An exploration of ancient technology (didjeridu, jaw harp, flute, harmonium, percussion) and modern technology (synthesizer, field recordings, electric guitar, electric bass, signal processing, live looping).
Sozu Project – Requiem [SLNT059]
The idea of giving a soundtrack to a possible post-mortem world has always stimulated the imagination of many composers. Usually, this idea makes its way into the final part of our existence... There is no indication that tells us about the lenght of our life, so a Requiem could be the best debut. Starting from a body abandoned to the buzzing of the flies, imaging a journey of the soul through opened and bright spaces, in contrast to the dark and melancholic mortal condition.
DR – December [SLNT058]
What would you do on cold and sleepless December nights? Probably stare in a window and think about the stuff that happened to you throughout the year. "December" is just the right thing to get you in the mood.
Przemyslaw Pajak – Shattered Things [SLNT057]
Using effects pedals and field recordings I wanted the tracks to sound very simple and pure. The idea for that concept came up, it was clear as light, which must have something to do with the dark feelings I had before. There was something in me which wanted to use this contrast me.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 030 [BRE030]
Selected ambience to get you back on the track on these cold December days. Have a nice journey.
Inner Place – Departure [SLNT056]
This departure is to a different place in biosphere. The traveller should remain cold and abstinent to reach true Silence.
Angstrom Institute – Unamica [SLNT055]
"We build better worlds" Weyland-Yutani
Melting Clouds – Leg Pulll-ll-l [SLNT054]
"Leg Pulll-ll-l" is an unbelievable ambient pattern of professionally melted sounds. It's a journey you'd wish to repeat over and over.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 029 [BRE029]
Even more dynamic and wide collection of great netlabel tracks which will make your summer evenings brighter. Serve cold.
Monolith Cycle – Gateway [SLNT053]
"Gateway" is about crossing time through the darkness and approaching the light. It's a leap to the springhead of reality. There's a gateway between what is too far away and unattainable, a portal between existence and nothing, the one way to achieve eternal peace and escape the unrest.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 028 [BRE028]
The long awaited collection of abstract thoughts and unspoken words. A transition from calm ambience to painfully noisy beats.
Kosta T – Hopelessness [SLNT052]
"Hopelessness" is a collection of violin improvisations accompanied with accordion, cello and some others. The sound is permeated with deep dramatic melancholia as well as the feeling of something old, yet familiar. This release could be a great soundtrack to a film noir or a world war movie.
Melting Clouds – Punkt [SLNT051]
Unexpected events change our place of residence. Uncontrollable power of free movement of energy washes visibility ways and unlike items.
Clayton Alpha – Korsakoff II [SLNT050]
Korsakoff II is the final part of the Korsakoff EP series. The main inspiration has been the Korsakoff Syndrome (a neurological disorder leading to gradual loss of memory) and the photographic work of Daniel Meade. When segments of memory vanish, something always takes their place; be it a smile that was never there or the warmth of a place we only thought that existed. These little details conclude to new stories, they are part of a lifetime we will never unravel.
Natbird – Aimless [SLNT049]
The best way to find yourself is to lose your way entirely.
Engraved Memories – From Sparkling Hours In Stillness [SLNT048]
"From sparkling hours in stillness" is an otherworldly score devoted to nostalgic awareness, to deep thoughtfulness, to the feelings of loss and remembrance.
Anton Gribkov & Double Bass – Oceania [SLNT047]
"Oceania" – is an essential volume of ambient works by Anton Gribkov with different musicians and projects recorded in Russia in 1999-2007.
Melting Clouds – Macadam [SLNT046]
Macadam – afflux without enveloping space. Waves of dissolving time. Feeling like a bright flame, which is above the mountains.
Clayton Alpha – Korsakoff I [SLNT045]
"Korsakoff I" is an attempt to design sound for four movie sequences. Artist's goal was to create a specific mood for each track and to keep melodies at a fragmental stage. Each track's sound is relevant to a certain place that Clayton wishes that the listener can imagine while listening to the music.
Aphotic Starfield – An Arena Of Open Sky [SLNT044]
"An Arena Of Open Sky" is a departure from Aphotic Starfield's old style, or possibly a combination of the new and the old. Focusing on themes of natural beauty and wonder, this album explores different sounds and different landscapes as it progresses, culminating as powerfully as it began.
Onichomp – 86ES [SLNT043]
Onichomp's first ambient release, first time trying to put a decent amount of emotion into the sound. This EP mainly concentrates on the sound of depression and emptiness, or sometimes just the feeling that your mask of sanity may slowly be slipping away.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 027 [BRE027]
Ever wondered how it is like to be at the top of the mountain and deep underwater at the same time?
Tetarise – To The Undercover Dimension [SLNT042]
After everyday rush and endless weekdays I usually have a feeling that reality is seeming, unreal. The real me lives far away in a parallel world.I walk the grassy slopes there, I swim among the waves of turquoise sea, I fly over snow-white mountains. And each times elusive music accompanies me. It's like a key which helps me to unlock the door to the over world.
In Vitro & Nulix – Nuevos Tiempos [SLNT041]
This work involves new techniques of In Vitro's sound production, partly taken from the 'yosoyunotrotu' project. Music is inspired by the desire of a new time, another possible world, many better worlds. Focused on making spontaneous textures of sound and strong doses of improvisation Nulix completes perfectly this circle with his unique treatment of resonant waves of energy.
Lingua Lustra – Geometrik [SLNT040]
With this release I wanted to express the feelings of living in an urban environment, being struck by a certain colour, thoughts about mankind sharing this beautiful planet, and my fascination with geometrics.
Eric Jackson – The Distant [SLNT039]
A voyage into long-form composition.
Cryxuss – Ethereal Creature [SLNT038]
Composed between January and March 2012, "Ethereal Creature" is an album in which I tried to express some feelings that I'm testing in this period of my life, most of all the feeling of uncertainty. But, even if we are not sure of what we have to do or what we want to do in life, I think there will be anyway a part of our soul that dreams and hopes, and that will not be defeated by any period of difficulty. That's, in my opinion, the ethereal creature that lives in everyone.
jmdkm – Mila [SLNT037]
All tracks are being composed and arranged between 2009 and 2011, using everydaylife home- and fieldrecordings in combination with digital editing en FX in attempt to construct lyrical and soothing structures of sound. This collection came together after using these specific tracks in situations of relaxation or even meditation. In an effort to combine 3 years of focussing on soundscapes, jmdkm tried to assemble a sensitive release, although edgy in some parts, the main notion remains to poetical and somewhat soothing…
Ethidium Imply – Malibu Dreams [SLNT036]
Often, we do not know what to say in specific situation. This album is the one of the answers to these situations.
Nulix – Soundgazing [SLNT035]
Release shaped deeply personal musical exploration; the end result is recorded on this album. Using the new workflow and record sound base is tailored from carefully recorded outside shots elements, combined with a sound analogy, the sound that comes out of the primordial darkness, devoid of earthly laws, sound ribbed electronic shamanism with massive sound spaces filled with pulsating rhythmic waves. Album smooth and warm furnishings are still somewhat more ambiguous, leaving listeners a room to find theirs version of the journey through sinister and mysterious world of recorded sounds.
Rasul Mono – Silhouettes [SLNT034]
"Silhouettes" is no more and no less than soundscape for the day-to-day life, work, rest, reflections and feelings. At times it's light and calm, other times it's melancholic and affecting, but inherently it's true and it's taken from real life.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 026 [BRE026]
A plateful of ambient, dub and experimental sounds for sophisticated gourmets. Bon appetit!
Alister Flint – Under The Surface [SLNT033]
"For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream."
Operator – Silent Steps Down An Empty Corridor [SLNT032]
"I become a noise amongst other noises. A whisper floating between the stars. Colored explosions of music everywhere but in the present. Just music… the rest is silence!"
Aphotic Starfield – Illumination In D-Minor [SLNT031]
Illumination In D-Minor - is an ambiguous release. On one hand - it's an aerial trip in the skies, into the abyss of space, on the other - it's an immersion into yourself. Bright and fascinating sound makes you want to listen to it over and over. And each time you'll find something new and absolutely new thoughts emerge.
BeatLove – Heart & Machine [SLNT030]
A stroke of love, an experimental air and electronic colors together to create compositions where the voiceand the rhythm hold hands. An ambient music, electric, where she provides the voice by growingenvironmental compositions with chords, power lines, drum machines, synthesizers and many effects.A commitment to downtempo and electronic music.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 025 BRE025 [BRE025]
A gentle trip to the clouds. Elevation and free fall back to the ground with music as your navigator.
Tapage & Rick de Greef – Outercloser Part Two [SLNT028]
The four tracks on Outercloser Part Two tell a moving story of a loss of direction, desperation and a search for meaning in a confusing world. Floating in a vacuum of drifting soundscapes and passing melodic phrases there is always a frighting undertone beneath the surface. Be prepared to drift along developingharmonies that balance between the echoes of our hopeful memories of the past and the terrifying prospects of an abandoned future.
Megatone – Pure Land [SLNT029]
A fantastic journey to unknown distant worlds, a phantasmagorical celebration of life and peace, where Star Wars, Dune and Final Fantasy meet Blade Runner and Tomb Raider.
Alister Flint – Alter Nativis [SLNT027]
Alter Nativis speaks of alternative worlds, other origins. Such as our inner and oneiric realms as well as worlds million kilometers away. But maybe most important, it is a gathering of musical snapshots, taken at random times, through various windows, while looking loop at some of these alternatives.
Monolith Cycle – Points of Aberrant [SLNT026]
'Points of Aberrant' is a fresh view on traditional ambient. Deep and silky sound fills the space with the memories from the past, leaving the listener alone with his thoughts in beautiful abandoned places. The worst part of this trip is coming back to reality when it all ends.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 024 [BRE024]
As the autumn weather changes so does the sound flows through the mind leaving microdepressive thoughts. Enjoy the moment.
Bleak House - Music From The Middle Room [SLNT025]
Welcome inside Bleak House, do take an armchair and settle by the fire. To maintain spirits in this Autumn retreat, the staff are... making noises. Luke's guitar is folding back on itself, flickering and flummoxing, Andy's fingers stumble from slumber around the pianoforte, and Robert's hands dance around in their percussive patter. Rest a while. What's that you say? Knocking? Oh no my dear, don't worry about the cellar. There's nothing in the cellar.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 023 [BRE023]
A breath of ambient in the middle of hot summer, a dive into the abyss of sounds
Bezdna Radio Essentials 022 [BRE022]
Take another deep dive into the calm ocean of sound with this wide genred compilation. [BRE022] brings you almost an hour and a half of finest netlabel music and includes two exclusive tracks by PlotKA and Solarein.
Angstrom Institute – The Return of SuperViolence [SLNT024]
The song – "Go" – got inspired by the cult movie "Blade Runner" and the question: "what makes us human and where are the boundaries to Artificial Intelligence?". "Love Me like a Machine" is a hommage to the new series of "Battlestar Galactica", where Humans and highly evolved Machines even loose their sight of difference by falling in love to each other. The outstanding "Substance-T" is an Epic, inspired by the movie: "A Scanner Darkly", where nothing seems to be quite for sure until the great plan behind got uncovered at the end. "Blood and Tears" assembles the atmosphere of: "Dune" – a universe where humans are able to fold spacetime by their drug-altered minds. The triology of "Assassins" is about the most freightening scenario ever put on screen: "Terminator", where our so highly blessed technology starts to think by their own and treats humanity as an enemy got to be erased, while the story behind treats with the interacting fabric of time. "The Sting" is for "The Fifth Element" – where love itself got treated as a weapon.
Tetarise – Wide Contemplation [SLNT023]
The warm wind caresses me, as I smile in return to bright morning sun and greet the new dawn. Dewdrops scattered silver all over the hillsides. The horison attracts like a loving mother, making a promise that all we be well. And I believe him with my heart and soul. The thoughts are far-away, there's only joy of living. I have to be there…
jmdkm – Red Sea [SLNT022]
'Red Sea' is jmdkm's 2nd audio release and is based on electro-acoustic improvisation. jmdkm likes to present an almost soothing notion of sound. This collection tries to capture a more beat-driven gesture. The arrangements are edgy, eerie and somewhat overwhelming perhaps. The general idea is to perform and represent true ambient.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 021 [BRE021]
The last of the cold winter days full of melancholy and depression are almost over. It's time to live again, it's time to explore.
LastEDEN – Sense of Peace [SLNT020]
"Sense of Peace" is a fine combination of instrumental sound in ambient – chillout format. Therelease is permeated with a romantic mood and invites the listener to dive into the ocean ofcalmness and serenity. Project's name totally corresponds the content and depicts scenes of lostand, probably, last Garden of Eden.
Second Thought & Noisesurfer – Oncoming Storm [SLNT019]
Second Thought and Noisesurfer have worked together in the past, notably on two co-produced tracks on the first Noisesurfer album. This time they come together and each offer thirty minutes of music to form a haunting album of fuzzy dark ambience.Second Thought offers up three epic drone pieces, each setting a tone in its early moments and building slowly towards a thundering climax. Noisesurfer complements these pieces with a series of dusty shoegaze ambient works, fuzzy guitars and pianos buried beneath layers of synths and unknown sounds, forming a melancholy contrast to Second Thought's sinister first half.
Tetarise – Through the Silent Void [SLNT018]
The halcyon days... The wind disorderly shakes branches of the trees. Morning sunlight scatters on the ceiling, fingers numb from the cold. I listen attentively to the rustling leaves, slight ululation of the wind. I fall into a dream, I find myself among the trees white with frost, and the ground with a thin snow cover. The sky is dark, but it seems like the trees light everything around them like some sort of lanterns. I step barefoot on the slightly snowy path and move towards the exit from the thicket. In the midst of the meadow, I fall on my back and stretch my arms. Everythings blurs and the sky becomes closer. So quiet... So calm...
Megatone – Eden [SLNT017]
The material world is an illusion. Life is just a game and this is the most serious way to be. The purpose of life is already won and can never be lost. This world has no beginning and no end, and so is the infinite and eternal spirit within us. Once found a certain proof of the true nature of our spirit, no force in the universe, nothing and no one can influence us.This album is inspired from representations of paradises in various cultures, both Occidental and Oriental. It tends to explore a certain feeling of joy and fulfillment that persists as an intuition within each person, for every moment of one's life, and probably can never be lost.
Kriipis Tulo & Space Contour – Plays Pierre Henry [SLNT016]
Live improvisations with prepared audio samples taken and carefully cutted from composition Balancement by Pierre Henry and recorded on open-reel tape recorder.
Alister Flint – Uchuu [SLNT015]
"Music (...) gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of (...) all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form.."'Uchuu' is a Japanese word for universe. It is about acceleration and regeneration. The album is born a year ago, following a collaborative project to put in music some of the latest scientific facts. However, 'Uchuu' is not about space and cosmos only, but about what surrounds us, and what makes us human. As we are all part of this acceleration and regeneration process, just as much as we are all influenced by it. Sometimes, it's beauty. Sometimes, it gets frightening, unsettling at least. 'Uchuu' is all that, and more, I hope.
[Esc.] Laboratory / Art Factory Worms – The Nexus Conspiracy [SLNT014]
"...I`m not trying to blast all modern music, but I think we should be aware of the fact that Satan can use it as his tool to pull us away from God and into chaotic thinking."Hal Lindsey – "Satan is alive and well on planet Earth"The Nexus Conspiracy - the latest compilation extracted from a source pool of 23 projects – performed and hosted by [Esc.]Laboratory / Art Factory Worms, brings strategies against easy listening – developed by Doc.AtmosfearCrush, Tomahawk & Machete.
Contact t.b.d. – StringStrang [SLNT013]
StringStrang is the acoustic follow-up of StrangString [ca358], where the dark side of sounds is explored. StringStrang is about minimalism and repetition, like waves of the sea which come and go. All instruments were recorded at home and the fieldrecordings were made in a corridor of a hospital.
[Esc.] Laboratory / Art Factory Worms – Kybrid_2010 [SLNT012]
"...The long revolution by which men have sought to translate nature into art we have long reffered to as `applied knowledge?.`Applied? means translated or carried across from one kind of material form into another." Marshall McLuhan – "understanding media"
Mahi Bukimi – The Eclipse of Planet's Beauty [SLNT011]
"There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself." Hermann Hesse
Second Thought – Treatments [SLNT010]
"Second Thought is quite a schizophrenic project with multiple personalities, and my best work has always come from reacting against my own music. After completing an album of strict compositions with distinct melodies and rhythms, I felt the need to take the opposite direction and work from a more electro-acoustic perspective, going back to audio editing. A number of sound sources are given the various 'treatments' and converted into entirely different, new pieces of music. This led to the finished EP, a series of ambient drone tracks which sound distinctly different from anything I've recorded previously."
Tetarise – k.a.m.a. [SLNT009]
"We know not what is good until we have lost it. "Have you ever analyzed the past or asked yourself: "What if…"? Unsaid words, unfinished deeds, hopelessly lost time – all of it is like an echo with a delay fading into compressed and distorted reverberation. You'd wish to press "hold" and crash the memories into pieces once and for all.
Megatone – Anthology [SLNT007]
"Anthology" covers last 5 years of Megatone's music activity. Divided into 3 parts with total duration of 1h 33min it depictures its author's musical searches in the worlds of ambient, IDM, space, ambient experimental and cinematic neoclassical.
Nick R 61 – FREEMXS 2 [SLNT005]
Nick R 61 - FREEMXS is a series of remixes of different authors and different genres who participated in Nick's Contest.
Mahi Bukimi – The Forests of Kur Zeme [SLNT004]
The album guides the listener into the impressive and psychedelic trips through the forests around the Baltic sea, through the leaves and lakes, through baroque forest lights, the stars and the shadows, where you will never feel alone, where all the way at warm summer nights and foggy autumn mornings is full of beautiful emotions and transparent feelings – the things, that are not changing with the centuries.
Tetarise – Altworld [SLNT003]
"Altworld" is a trip to the depths of outer space and back, a harmony of sounds and colors which pictures a brand new world to its listener. It makes him forget about everyday problems and fly into unknown without fear to fall.
Nick R 61 – FREEMXS [SLNT002]
Nick R 61 - FREEMXS is a series of remixes of different authors and different genres who participated in Nick's Contest.
Megatone - The Book of Dreams vol.1 [SLNT001]
Album "The Book Of Dreams volume 1" is a journey into the misty world of dreamscapes. Symbolic hypnagogic images represent deeper aspects of the human soul. These symbols and archetypes are vessels for a volume of knowledge, meanings and interpretations far larger than it could be ever expressed thru spoken language.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 005 [BRE005]
BRE005 is a worthy continuation of the collection. Bit more dynamic than previous ones, nevertheless deep in its essence. Astrowind's Autumn Drifting became the first 'Silent Flow Exclusive' track which later triggered a new branch of SF actvity: artist-oriented albums and singles - the 'SLNTs'.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 004 [BRE004]
It's about a walk in an alley, it's about a dream of fireworks, it's about deep forests and warm lights. Perfect lifeforms, atmospheric trips, mercury collectors - all here.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 003 [BRE003]
Stylistic horizons are even more widely expanded in this compilation. Deep as we like it - is probably the best motto for BRE003.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 002 [BRE002]
BRE002 demonstrates that the collection is not ambient-experimental only. Deep, dub, psychill fit in perfectly here and are integral parts of it. 'Essentials' become a journey. This material is the result of collaboration between netlabels and artists of different genres which would probably never meet anywhere else.
Bezdna Radio Essentials 001 [BRE001]
Silent Flow pilot release. As it turned out later this compilation started a whole series of high quality wide genred releases under the [BRE] sign. Today there are hundreds of artists who managed to be part of it. In spite of the fact that this is the first release, it is still a great example of how label's music should sound like.

I didn't intend this summer as an experiment in extreme productivity, instead it was a scheduled trip, a planned vacation after a hard year and a big book launch. I had dreams of getting my team in place, banging out dozens of essays and articles in advance and basically coasting through the summer with little more than the occasional Instagram update.
Somewhere between my natural talent for taking on more and more projects plus an internal team I'm still forming (I have four part-time people on deck – that I still need to train and set up before I can let loose) I've found myself of being in the position of being on a 5,000 mile road trip, living in a camper van, six months pregnant, with two kids – and a boatload of work to do.
So how is it going? Well, pretty well in fact. I've gotten very streamlined in my processes. When I sit down to work, I know that this golden hour or two is just the briefest of interludes, that I'll be off hiking in the woods or swimming in a stream, or listening to music as we conquer some new stretch of highway. It's also a relief to just get to work. My main anxiety has been around keeping up with my ambitious schedule, so when I have some good, fast internet, I start pounding on the keyboard. Here's a few of the takeaways:
1. My list. I went back to paper. I am using Asana and keeping that updated, but I've also started writing everything out in my notebook as well, both for its analog convenience (no wifi needed) but also because it helps me think. I list the exact items I will work on, in the exact order they will be completed and I'm very strict with myself about following my plan.
2. I mono-task. I do one thing, bang it out and then the next. If I split up my time between three things, I might only get 1/3 of each done, but this way, at least one thing is always completed.
3. I only work on the "meat". Social media, email checking/answering, FB groups, answering student questions and anything else that isn't a "heads down concentrated task" never ever gets scheduled into my work time. EVER. No more! Those things go on all day and as I have time or a second, I'll quickly check email or FB, then put the phone away. My work time is too precious. I use it to write, build, edit – but never to respond.
4. I have a really robust year-long plan. I know everything that's happening in the next 12 months. It's helping me stay focused on what matters.
5. I work at a sprint. If I'm slowing down because I need to do more research or thinking about it more, then I put that task on hold, do the research/reading/thinking during my downtime or the edges of my day and focus on something else. I really use my work hours to bang things out, not waste time. Sometimes I just need to sleep on something. So if I notice I'm not up to my usual pace, then I know it's time to put that aside.
6. I think a lot. I love travel for it's clarifying effects and I think there might be something to having a 6 hour maximum workday (I get probably 30 hours a week total). But it's not like I just shut off after that. I can only do so much time of actual work, the rest falls under the categories of: preparing to work, emotionally gearing up, solving problems in my head, procrastinating and avoiding the truth (<– sometimes too much of this, ha!). I can do all those things and play junior park ranger with my kids at the Grand Canyon. I'm fantastic at campfire-procrastination with long soulful looks into the flames while I avoid absolutely all work. So much better than "making busy" as I used do for at least a few hours of every work day.
7. I've had to grow an even thicker skin about sucking. Some things are not going to get done today. But I know they will get done soon. Probably in the next two weeks. Definitely by the end of the summer. But instead of trying to put out 20 different fires at once, I've started really working in a focused way on one or two. And now those things are solved, those projects started or finished, or that piece written. My workload is actually lightening up as this summer progresses even though I'm working less than ever.
What about you? How do you find time to do it all? Have you ever had to balance travel and work?

Headphone Design
This is the design of the earpieces on the headphones. Some headphones go inside the ear, while others rest on the outside of the ear. This helps you know exactly what type of headphones you will be receiving.
In-Ear: The ear buds go into the ear. Most often, the right and left ear buds are two separate pieces.
Enclosed-Ear: Usually are found on the larger headphones. They rest on top of the ear and have padding for comfort, as well as enclosing the ear to the speaker. This type of headphone helps to filter out surrounding noise.
On-Ear: This type of headphone involves the speaker sitting gently on the ear without going in the ear or sealing it off.
Headphone type refers to the construction of the headphones.
Around the Ear means that the headphones wrap around the ear to provide a secure fit. This is most often seen in active and sports headphones.
Around the Neck means that the headphones wrap around the neck. This is also seen in active and sports headphones.
Earbuds means that the right and left sides of the headphones are separated and will fit securely into the ear. These are small, compact, and user friendly.
Over the Head headphones mean that the right and left speakers are connected with a support that goes over the head and rests on top. This is the typical headphone type.
This is the application that the headphones are designed for. Each application has unique features that make it perfect for particular uses.
DJ: These headphones are durable, loud, and will often allow for one ear listening.
Gaming Delivers explosive sound and allows you to communicate with others.
Home Hi-Fi: These audiophile headphones are engineered to produce high fidelity and accurate audio.
Home/Office: These headphones are designed to produce rich, brilliant sounds that the artists would appreciate.
Sports: Designed for active use. These headphones are made to stay in (or on) the ear during workouts.
Kids: Feature noise limiting technology so that your little ones don't damage their ears listening to music too loud.
On-the-Go: On-the-go headphones are lightweight and often fold up for easy storage and portability.
Student: Compact and rugged enough to survive life in a backpack; inexpensive enough to not hurt the wallet of a student.
Studio: Reproduce music perfectly without any coloration. Look here for reference quality studio monitoring headphones.
Traveler/Airplane: These headphones are compact, lightweight, and have a portable design.
General Features
Corded means that the headphones use a cord to transfer the audio signal.
Bluetooth means that the audio signal is transmitted from your device to the headphones via a Bluetooth connection.
Corded or Bluetooth means that the headphones can be used as corded headphones or as Bluetooth headphones. They have an input in one or both earcups for use as a corded headphone while they also have a built-in battery for use as Bluetooth wireless headphones.
Wireless means that the audio signal is transmitted wirelessly to the headphones.
The Jack Angle refers to the angle of the input jack on the headphone cable.
Straight Jack: Straight plug with no angle.
Angled Jack: Angled plug, usually a 90 degree angle.
Swivel Jack: A swivel jack is able to swivel between a straight plug and an angled plug.
Gaming Headphones
Home Wireless Headphones
Audio Features
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".

Tried these out, and liked them. They don't have any of that exaggerated bass or hyperextended high frequencies. They do shine in the midrange, especially with vocals. Overall a better choice than those "artist endorsed" monitors. They come with many different adaptors for a custom fit and a carrying case. Good bang for the buck!

I have used the shure in ears for years and always the same problem, they don't stay in my ears well. However,the braided cable on these westones are light and feel like air behind your ears, you'll never know it's there! The drivers performance is on point with the lower level shure products (scl2, 215's, ect) but the price is considerably lower. I'm a drummer, and a very active one at that, if these in ears please me, they should not disappoint anyone. They are a great product. The amount of low end they'll handle with surprise you. They come with some great tips as well, I love mine and may even buy one of westones upper end products because I'm so impressed by these =)

Lord of the Flies
explain the exchange of power at the beginning of chapter 8 ?
lord of the flies chapter 8
lord of the flies chapter 8
In this chapter, Golding continues to use his main characters as personifications of various facets of the human spirit. Piggy remains the lone skeptic among the boys and still unsure of the presence of the beast, which continues to be the focus of island life for Jack and his hunters. Even Ralph, succumbing to fear and suspicion, now believes that there is a beast on the island. Although Ralph is the clear protagonist of the story and the character to whom Golding affixes the reader's perspective, he is still susceptible to the childish passions and irrationality that are, to varying extents, present in the other children. Ralph's weakness is not insignificant. While Ralph may be more mature and rational than Jack and his hunters, given the right circumstances he can submit to the same passions as the other boys, a tendency that foreshadows the tragic events that unfold in subsequent chapters.

The DDR4 form factor is optimized for the latest Intel X99 Series motherboards and offers higher frequencies, greater bandwidth, and lower power consumption than DDR3 modules. Vengeance LPX DDR4 modules are compatibility-tested across X99 Series motherboards for reliably fast performance. There's XMP 2.0 support for trouble-free automatic overclocking. And, they're available in multiple colors to match your motherboard, your components, or just your style.
Part of our exhaustive testing process includes performance and compatibility testing on most every X99 Series motherboard on the market – and a few that aren't.
Designed for high-performance overclocking
Each Vengeance LPX module is built from an eight-layer PCB and highly-screened memory ICs. The efficient heat spreader provides effective cooling to improve overclocking potential.
Overclocking overhead is limited by operating temperature. The unique design of the Vengeance LPX heat spreader optimally pulls heat away from the ICs and into your system's cooling path, so you can push it harder.
The heat spreader doesn't just allow Vengeance LPX to run better… the aggressive yet refined form factor looks great in showcase systems.
XMP 2.0 support for trouble-free, automatic overclocking
Manually pushing your DRAM frequency can be a fun experiment, but sometimes you just want to get maximum performance without the hassle.
Intel X99-based motherboards support the new XMP 2.0 standard, and Vengeance LPX DRAM does, too. Turn it on, and it will automatically adjust to the fastest safe speed for your Vengeance LPX kit. You'll get amazing, reliable performance without lockups or other strange behavior.
When the first Mini-ITX and Micro ATX motherboards for DDR4 are released, Vengeance LPX will be ready. The small form factor makes it ideal for smaller cases or any system where internal space is at a premium.
Available in multiple colors to match your motherboard or your system
The best high-performance systems look as good as they run. Vengeance LPX is available in several colors to match your motherboard, your other components, your case… or just your favorite color.

A genus of long, slender, nematoid worms, parasitic in insects until near maturity, when they leave the insect, and live in water, in which they deposit their eggs; -- called also hair eel, hairworm, and hair snake, from the absurd, but common and widely diffused, notion that they are metamorphosed horsehairs.

Does your Oz collection need something new? At the 1933-1934 World's Fair in Chicago, there was an Enchanted Island exhibit which included some giant Wizard of Oz characters. In 1934 an Enchanted Island World's Fair Key was issued which included the Scarecrow as one of the characters adorning the key shaft (far left). Key is in its original souvenir box!!
Metal key is in excellent condition. Very little wear to the gold surface coating. As it typical, box bottom has corners split. (This is common as this particular key design was a little bit too large for the boxes.) Light wear to variagated finish on top of box. An unusual item for your Oz collection!

Happy Hump Day! I am terribly excited to be writing my first post! The idea of my blog came about around a year ago. I was the bipolar girl who was making it all work, my meds were regular my Dr. was happy, I laughed all the time. I had a great career doing exactly what I wanted to, and I awesome at it. I was Defying Logic.
I grew up in a house with two older sisters and a mother with undiagnosed bipolar disorder. My sisters, Carrie and Sami were my heros, they always stuck up for me as a kid, and they just seemed to make life work despite the hell we had come from. It was a larger southern type city in Florida, with a large extended family. Not the kind of family anyone would have guessed what was going on inside our house.
Both of my parents were actually untreated bipolar and I was early onset, showing psychiatric symptoms by highschool. I was the one who got the magic genes of the three of us to produce bipolar disorder, but of my family, I have a mental illness I manage. They're just fucking crazy.
Being at the top of where I was a year ago, my blog was going to be about how to thrive living with bipolar disorder. How to defy the standard outcomes, the stigma. I have always been open about my disorder since I accepted it at 27 and was afraid of it. I knew the rules to live by, and when to seek help. In fact, I reached out to two new therapists over the last year knowing I was having a problem with grandiosity, but unfortunately, both relationships failed.
When I lost my job last June, it was ok, I was awesome and would find another. My awesome resume certainly did get me awesome interviews, but something was not right, I couldn't land the job. I eventually lost my apartment and returned home after 7 years, I had been gone for a reason.
Fast forward from Sept '14 to Feb '15 and I realized, I didn't even know what mania was until that moment. The disease had turned in to something, despite being very knowledgeable about it, helping others cope with it, and making sure I was trying to take care of myself, it was something I didn't recognize. And I was in a whole heapload of trouble. My sisters and I were at odds vicious then nice, vicious then nice cycles, I felt I had no where to turn.
I had no where to live permanently, I turned in my car I bought after my first year in my career with 14 payments left, I sold all of my furniture. Ideas and Plans were spinning out of control, I was out of control. And then for reason I took the emergency mania meds I had on hand, and I woke up this time to quiet in my head. It was still a few days later after talking to a trusted friend that realized what had gone on for the last few years. For what felt like moments I walked hours around the beach town my friends parents lived in. Tears streaming hot down my face, of this can't be, I couldn't have done all this.
The words plan or idea are currently not in my vocabulary, it is a thought, or a decision. Shortly after my realization of what had been going on despite all my efforts to be healthy, I made the best decision I had made in a long time. I moved back to south Florida to work with a therapist I had worked with for 7 years before. I needed therapy, and I couldn't afford another failed relationship.
Lynn and I have been working together over 10 weeks now, and from the get go she wanted me to file a claim for disability. It took a lot in my heart, in my mind to accept this. There was one statement she said, and I've never looked back. "The last year was horrible and frightening, if you go on disability you will never face that again". SOLD. So my career dreams, I grieved them, but I also found that I will have the opportunity to use my smarts towards what I want to. To make a difference.
I wanted to get a start out there of who I am, and what I've been through the last year. I invite you to join me through the journey of rebuilding to once again defy logic. To achieve in a place in life where one is almost set up to fail. To learn to love life in a way I never knew possible :)
- Defying Logic

Ryan Gosling regretted adorning his face with a fake tattoo for new movie The Place Beyond The Pines as he couldn't bear to look in the mirror afterwards.
The Hollywood star plays a bad boy who turns to crime to help support his baby, and Gosling wanted to show his character's questionable lifestyle choices through his tattoos.
However, the actor hated the eventual design choice, a dagger dripping blood by his left eye, and even complained to director Derek Cianfrance.
However, Cianfrance was unsympathetic and ordered Gosling to put up with the fake inking.
Gosling tells Metro.us, "We wanted to make the tattoos look a mess, from someone who lived a life of not thinking things through and making bad decisions. When I went for the tattoo, I thought, this is stupid, this is dumb, I can't do this.
"And Derek was like 'Well, that's how most people feel about their face tattoos'. I didn't even want to look at myself in the mirror. I felt like I knew what he (the character) was like. When I was holding Tony Pizza, the kid who plays our child, I just felt ashamed this person I created was his father."

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio -- The 10th-ranked Wooster Scots advanced to the winner's bracket semifinal of the 2017 North Coast Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament following a 10-2 victory over No. 24 Denison on Thursday afternoon at VA Memorial Stadium.
Wooster jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after Jake Fling blasted a one-out home to left. The Big Red would respond in the second. Freshman Brian McAuliffe opened the frame by drawing a four-pitch walk. With one down, junior Noah Hahn ripped a base hit through the right side that moved McAuliffe to third. Senior Tucker Davison followed with a single to center that scored McAuliffe.
A pair of third-inning doubles by Chandler Dippman and Fling gave the Scots a 3-1 advantage. Wooster added another run in the fourth, extending their lead to three. Senior Evan Flax pulled DU to within two with a base hit up the middle that scored freshman Vince Walker from second. Wooster added two more runs in the home half of the sixth before a four-run eighth set the final score at 10-2.
In addition to a 10-run, 11-hit offensive performance, the Scots also turned five double plays which included one that brought the game to an end. Drew Tornow went 3-for-4 with a run scored, while Fling had a double, a homer, two RBIs and two runs scored. Michael Houdek picked up the win after giving up two runs on five hits in six innings of work. Houdek struck out three and walked five while inducing four double-play balls.
Hahn paced the Denison offense with two hits, while McAuliffe reached base three times by way of a single and two walks. Eric Zmuda also drew three free passes. Perley Provost (4-4) took the loss after allowing six runs on nine hits with two Ks in 5.1 innings.
The Big Red (29-11) will return to Chillicothe, Ohio on Friday to play in the first elimination game of the 2017 NCAC Tournament. Denison will take on the loser of the DePauw/Oberlin game at 4 p.m.

Richard Petty's No.43 Pontiac Grand Prix used during his 200th NASCAR Cup series victory has been named one of the "101 Objects That Made America" by Smithsonian Magazine and is featured in its November issue.
The Smithsonian sourced more than 137 million artifacts in 19 museums to come up with its list, which includes the bald eagle, Discovery Space Shuttle, the Model T, the Barbie doll and a U.S. Olympic hockey team jersey.
"I just think the fact that it's the Smithsonian and they had all these pieces of history or objects to look at and they picked our car is what makes it special," Petty said.
Writer Jeff MacGregor points out that the "genius of this car lies not in what it is, but in what it did."
Petty's 1984 victory in Daytona Beach, Fla., was accomplished with then-President Ronald Reagan in attendance.
To find the complete list or read more, visit Smithsonian.com.
RCR hires technical director: Richard Childress Racing announced Saturday it has hired Mike Coughlan as the team's technical director, effective immediately. Coughlan, a native of Surrey, England, brings more than two decades of motorsports experience, with a heavy concentration in Formula One.
During his 15 years in F-1, Coughlan was a chief designer with teams such as Arrows, Benetton, Ferrari, McLaren and Williams; earning more than 20 victories. Coughlan also has NASCAR experience, having worked with Michael Waltrip Racing during late 2010 and early 2011.
"I feel with the increased technical focus of the Sprint Cup Series and the direction that the sport is moving, it makes a perfect fit for me," Coughlan said.
Hornaday released : Truck Series veteran Ron Hornaday was released by NTS Motorsports after Friday night's race at Phoenix.
"We at NTS Motorsports appreciate everything Ron has done this year to help build NTS Motorsports in its first year competing at the national level in NASCAR," said team owner Bob Newberry. "Ron has been a great asset to our organization and we wish him the best in his future endeavors."
Practice update: Clint Bowyer was fastest during Saturday's final practice, with a top lap speed at 134.862mph. Jeff Gordon was second-fastest and Kurt Busch third. Among the championship contenders, Matt Kenseth was fifth-fastest, Kevin Harvick was eighth and Jimmie Johnson 10th.
Three things to watch
1. Jimmie Johnson enters the final two races with a seven-point lead over Matt Kenseth and will start from the pole.
2. Jeff Burton will make his 1,000 start in NASCAR's three national series. His first start came during 1988 in what now is the Nationwide Series.
3. Kevin Harvick won this race a year ago and is the only other driver in the Cup series with a plausible chance to catch Johnson and Kenseth.
• Kyle Busch gets all the criticism for racing and winning in the NASCAR Truck Series, but none of the credit for what he gives back to the series. While many complain of Busch racking upvictories in a lower NASCAR series, they too easily forget that the past two newcomers to Victory Lane – Erik Jones and Darrell Wallace Jr. – got their opportunity to race because of Kyle Busch Motorsports. Could Jones and Wallace have found other opportunities? Perhaps. Would they be with as good a program? Unlikely, since Busch already has proven his organization is among the best in the series.
• By next season, Mark Martin, Jeff Burton and Bobby Labonte no longer will be competing fulltime in the Sprint Cup Series. That's a far cry from 15 years ago when I first started covering NASCAR and those three were regulars up front and in Victory Lane. At the time, I was certain I would see all three win Cup titles, but as it turns out, Labonte was the only one. The absence of a championship certainly does not diminish the contributions to the sport of the others.
• The scoring pylon has not worked properly at Phoenix since the race weekend began. It only shows the laps completed and the top eight places. I couldn't imagine a sporting event where an operable scoreboard was more important to a fan's experience.
Best bets
Three picks for your fantasy racing team:
Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth

Remembering 9/11.
Published on Sep 11, 2012
Editor's Pick
Students from Miami Ad School marked the 11th anniversary of 9/11 by painting New York City crosswalks with motifs of the American flag today.
The three crosswalks are located at: the intersection of Barclay and Church Streets in the financial district (pictured here), North 6th Ave and Bedford Ave in Williamsburg, and Prince and Broadway in Soho. Each is painted with temporary spray chalk, alternating red and blue stripes, along with white stars and the message, "Live for Today 9/11."
A spokesman for the group said, in a statement, "We want to honor the memories of those lost on that tragic day. But we also want to remind people that living in fear of what might happen is no way to live."

From Shane's Blog........
So I received a email from a person who has been reading my blog asking me questions about various things and where I stand on them, so I have decided to answer them here then it is out there and everyone will know where I stand on most things?
1) am I pro-life or pro-choice?
Well, essentially I am both because I find it morally wrong that abortions are so easily available that they are becoming a means of birth control? I mean if you don't want a baby or cant afford a baby then close your friggin legs!! Stop making children you cant raise!! I mean if you are that stupid that you don't know how to use normal birth control you should not be having sex in the first place!! On the other hand I find it morally reprehensible to tell a woman who has been raped that she must carry the product of a violent episode inside her body for nine months?? And completely insane to think that she should raise the child of her attacker? So in effect I am sitting on the fence with a foot in each camp. What baffles me the most about the whole argument is that the people who shout the loudest about what women should be doing are men? Easy to talk when you are not the one who has to push an ostrich egg through a hole made for a chicken egg?
2) what are my religious views?
Well first and foremost I will not discuss my religious views with anyone as I believe they are a private and personal issue between me and my God of choice? I will however say this – I believe all people have a right to worship and serve the God of their choice, I do not however think that you should try and force the issue and make me see things your way, keep your religion to yourself and those that agree with you, we can not and should not judge people according to their beliefs because we are not God! I will also say that any religion that calls for the rape and murder of people who do not agree with it should be stamped out and does not need to exist in a normal society!
3) Am I a racist?
I was brought up not to judge people by the color of their skin but I am a racist in that I believe my people have a right to rule themselves and defend themselves against the onslaught of a government who will not defend or help them in the face of genocide! So yes if you are one of the people who are against my people then yes I hate you and will defend myself and my people against you and your criminals if that means that I hate my president and all he stands for then so be it!! I will not be pushed around by people who think they have power simply because they are the government. So if you don't like me because of my skin color or nationality then I don't like you either and you better be sure of yourself before you come for me and mine because I will have no compunction about killing you.
4) do I support violence as a means to an end?
I never used to consider violence a means to an end but I live in South Africa, which is possibly the most violent country on the planet, so if you don't live here then don't judge, because if you don't meet the violence directed at you with violence you will be raped and tortured and ultimately killed! If you come to me to talk then we will talk, if you come with violence or murder on your mind I will kill you without any feeling of guilt. I am a free man and will defend what I love to my last breath regardless of any laws you make.
5) do I think the ANC will eventually get it right?
Are you serious? I would have to be a complete and utter moron to place any hope or trust in an organization that has proved over and over again that they are ruled and run by the worst kind of criminals known to mankind!! They are guilty of almost any crime you can think of including genocide – so no! They will never get it right and this country will continue to suffer until they are a thing of the past!!
So there you go Mr. Anon I have answered your questions. If you have more questions feel free to ask as I will answer them as honsetly as I can because I really don't care what people think of my opinions – they are after all my opinions.
