Hi friends!
In addition to Hunger & Hope and Marriage & Medicine, the FINAL blog series that I had planned to kick off in 2017 is a monthly recap of sorts. And here it is. :)
So how was January? A little nutty, to be honest. Beau had a pretty rough month in the PICU with some long hours and emotional cases, I've been busier than expected for this time of year, the news and social media have been, well, you know..., Portland got slammed with surprise snow and ice, Beau and I escaped to Bend for a quick weekend trip and I've been spending any extra time I can find planning for our upcoming trip to Vietnam!
Okay, and side note...everyone from Vietnam that we've interacted with via email so far has been incredibly charming. And the language barrier is nothing short of adorable. We got an email the other day from a hotel confirming our shuttle from the airport, and she assured us multiple times that our shuttle would include "all the toys". I have no idea what this means, but I'm SUPER excited to find out.
A few other fun things...
I tweaked the design of my home page a bit and updated the shop with some fun new artwork! My favorite additions are the custom wreaths. Just send me your favorite quote, verse, song lyrics or even your initials and I'll plop them into one of these designs and send it your way. Easy. I hope to add a few more wreath designs in the coming weeks and months, and as always, don't hesitate to let me know if you have any specific flowers/colors you'd like to see...I always love your input!
All the new art is linked below because I like to be helpful. :)
Okay, what else?
I'm starting an email list because all the cool kids are doing it. I'll probably be sending my first email out soonsies, so feel free to subscribe if you'd like! I'm going to include a subscriber-only promo code in each email (they'll be sent out about once a month) because I feel guilty for invading your inbox. :)
Other fun things:
- Hoi An, one of the cities we're visiting in Vietnam, is known for having hundreds of tailors who can re-create whatever type of clothing you'd like, and for cheap. We're talking custom dresses, suits (for Beau), leather bags, shoes, etc. I'm pinning up a storm and am thinking I'd love a skirt like this one...
- This sign from the Women's March in PDX had me LOLing...
- This website, featuring female illustrators, is AMAZING. So much talent.
- Speaking of amazing women, my friend Hope is making gorgeous bags out of recycled denim and you should know about it. :)
- Beau and I snowshoed (is that a word in the past tense?) up Tumalo Mountain while in Bend and it was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Here's proof. If you're ever in the Bend area, it's a must-do.
- Are you into podcasts? For business advice, I'm loving The Goal Digger Podcast. For hopeful conversations with inspiring people, I'm loving Sounds Good with Branden Harvey.
Alright, that's enough rambling from me. Here's to February, my friends!
Love & Respect,

The BRIT Awards make steps towards equality for 2017 ceremony to be 'more gender balanced'
The Brit Awards have reinvented their voting system in an effort to make things far more equal when it comes to creating their judging panel.Brit Awards 2016: 6 things the show needs to fix for next year
The iconic awards ceremony – which will return for it's 37th celebration in 2017 – has readjusted the balance for the 700+ invitees that make up the voting academy following a major review.
In an effort to inject a sense of balance, the new invite list is 'more gender balanced', with 52% male and 48% female voters invited to cast their decisions.
Presumably it would be just too hard to actually make this a clean 50/50 split – and Metro.co.uk contacted a representative for the board to clarify why the 2017 award voting system can't actually just be equal….
'As much as we would love the perfect 50/50 the main criteria is to fit in with the criteria about being a music critic etc. so it's not based on just picking people because they're male or female,' the spokesperson said (so that's us told).
The voting invite list is now also guaranteed to include '17% BAME' – standing for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic – and has been expanded so that 57% of invites will be sent to new members of the voting academy.
'I'm really proud that we've taken firm action to refresh the Academy to ensure that it keeps up with trends in music and society at large. I believe that as a result of these changes the BRITs will be better equipped to reflect the diverse nature of Britain and British music,' British Recorded Music Industry Chairman Ged Doherty said in a statement.
Plans for the 2017 awards are already well underway – with Robbie Williams already announced as the first winner, bagging the prestigious Brits Icon award.
The gong – given to those 'whose writing, recording and performances have set them apart as having made a lasting impact on British culture' – has only been given out three times so far – with Robbie becoming the third white man to win the award in its three time distribution.
Music legends David Bowie and Sir Elton John are the only two other winners so far (Dame Shirley Bassey who??).
Nominees for the meteoric Critics Choice award should be announced imminently, with the winner traditionally unveiled before the end of the year.
The awards themselves are set to take over the O2 in London on February 22 – and Michael Buble is scheduled to host the awards.
'It's a huge honour for me to host such a big night in music. Even though I didn't grow up as a Brit I've always been well aware of The Brit Awards and their impact globally. As a fan of music this is the perfect gig,' he said when it was announced he would host the awards last month.
Last week Michael shared the sad news that his three-year-old son, Noah, is battling cancer.
Last year the show came under fire for lacking diversity with the hashtag BritsSoWhite trending on Twitter as coverage of the ceremony broadcast live across the UK.
The makers of the show later vowed to make the 2017 ceremony more inclusive, confessing that the old voting system was 'largely white with a bias towards older men,' and launched the revamp which has resulted in the new voting invitation list being drafted.
Metro.co.uk has contacted a spokesperson for the awards and for Michael Buble for comment.

things i can see from my window:
-the Prudential building
-the bridge
-the Citgo sign
-the Charles river
-Memorial Drive
-the sun
-the sky
things i can't see from my window:
-my love
-my family
-my best friends
it's a beautiful day today;
i'm sitting in Killian Court, and the sun is peeking
between greyish clouds.
there's a nice breeze, and the river glints
silver and gold to south.
the leaves are already changing;
across from me there's a
maple (i think), gilded with copper and scarlet
doesn't feel like fall –
doesn't feel like anything, really.
just waiting, and waiting
i forget what i'm waiting for.
for lunch today, a PB&J
crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam,
nutty wheaty bread.
it's almost Friday (again, already)
i'm just repeating myself
i don't mean to whine –
but i miss you, so terribly much.
21 days is, as always, 21 too many.
the leaves are changing already
my hair is long enough to
get in the way, now.
time is flying –
already it is afternoon, and the
yellow-tinged green maple
just outside is leaving dapples
on my pillow and windowsill.
in the dark of the night,
Micah whispered to me about
the early days of us –
the first time we met, first date
first kiss
the first time we made love
my body is craving contact;
i want to feel a gentle hand on mine
a kiss on the forehead
a heartbeat beneath my cheek,
falling asleep with my head on his shoulder
it is indescribably difficult;
you would think, with time, one would
accept and adapt
but it is never really easier –
you just become numb faster.
i am surviving, as always
and when i am falling asleep
in the dark, alone
he's there in my ear, telling me
how beautiful i am
and i think touching my heart
is more important than touching me.
sorry for my absenteeism;
my life lately:
saying goodbye (hate, oh i hate)
visiting friends, family,
favorite restaurants
flying back to Boston with
sick/excitement in my stomach
landing, and suddenly
excitement is winning
two days to move in (a new,
bigger room)
then Elodie (my friend from Paris)
arrived a day earlier than expected
we spent 3 days in NYC, and too much money
but had a wonderful time – worth it.
back to Boston, straight into school.
a thousand emails to send, a thousand
applications to submit, a thousand
things to print and sign and remember.
ahh, the joys of fall.
my new room has a river view;
in the morning the sun shines in around my shades
creeping into my eyes, heating the room
as the sun sets, the whole Boston skyline
lights up on fire, and then at night
the lights and the moon are bright
on the good old Charles river.
busy busy busy busy
i really should leave it at that for now
Elodie is asleep on my floor, and
i already have homework!
i carry your heart – e.e. cummings
September 6, 2009
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
i ache, oh, every part of me aches
he just left my house
pressing sticky salty kisses to my lips
as moths batter themselves on the glass
of my front door and the streetlights
flash and flash and flash
what i would give (anything
almost anything) to have stopped time,
to have stopped the tears that
wouldn't stop until there were no more
left to cry. my head hurts
my nose is running. i want to fall asleep
and wake up in a few years or so.
raining today;
the air is hot and muggy
and it feels like summer
except when the rain is falling
on my shoulders and hair –
then it feels like spring.
so much to do
so many forms to submit
i don't want to touch them
just want to pretend like
time is stopped, i'm not going
Micah leaves tomorrow.
i was going to write more,
but i'm pretty sure that last sentence
encompasses everything.
there it is again;
i can feel it behind my eyelids,
in my throat and in my hands
convulsively closing on –
what? air, the lining of my pocket
the arm of a chair or
Micah's fingers, holding on –
to what? summer time:
late nights and softly whirring fans,
walks on the pier, Alterra coffee
gentle kisses on my shoulder blade
falling asleep all tangled up
i'm still trying to hold on, even as
summer's slipping away,
even as Micah finishes work
begins to pack
prepares to leave
there's that prickling, again
my eyes trying to fill with tears
for what? i'm not losing anything
am i? he's still mine, this city is still mine
i ache for my childhood, and certainty
the knowledge that there is no
greater concern than what flavor of
popsicle is available to me.
i want to roll myself up into a ball
and hide my head from growing up
from letting go
(again, and again, and again –
i'm always letting go, or trying to)
this deep melancholy encompasses
much more than the end of summer;
i know that
but i can't help it, the breaking point
is knowing he'll be gone in 8 days
i'm blinking, swallowing hard
because the only reason i'm sad
is that i'm so damn happy,
after all.
this afternoon, i sat on the
screen porch at Braeburn
watching the rain drip off the eaves
reading a good book
that reminded me of high school
Micah was reading beside me,
until head nodding, leaning on my shoulder
his hands giving those funny little
jumps, like always, he fell asleep.
i listened to the rain on the roof
remember being little, watching
waiting for the sun
so we could swim and play
and remember David, in out of the rain
dashing past him into the downpour
feeling it on my skin and face and hair
Micah slept, a reassuring warm weight.
yesterday we canoed the river
sunlight and clouds, the whole world
open above and the riverbed
in ripples below
and camped out on a sand bar
not far from home, built a fire
cooked our own dinner
and as the sun set, we lay together in
our tiny tent, reading together
and fell asleep side by side
we didn't have to think about
school, or work, or our futures
we could just
stare into the fire, slapping mosquitos,
watching the river slip past
and when we were tired,
we turned off our lamps and went to sleep.
it was a beautiful week of vacation;
i'm sad it's over –
especially when i remember that
2 weeks from now is the last time
i'll see him until October;
8 weeks apart (we've done this,
we have, it's not so hard, i know, i know)
already i feel the tears in me
the unfairness eats me up, and life isn't fair
the world isn't fair, and aren't i a lucky girl?
this summer has been up and down
and gone by much too quickly
i don't want to say goodbye again.
(here it is then:)
((i have a deep, dark confession))
it's raining outside tonight
smells like summer time and
nostalgia, like cement and
sticking grass blades and
running barefoot and damp t-shirts.
(i've missed this)
((i miss having this with you))
(((i still miss you)))
i went for a walk by myself,
alone/but not alone
and remembering as always
blues skies on the ceiling of my bathroom
floating, walking, running
cigarette smoke swirling and twirling
dragon's breath.
razor blades and nicks on my knee
i want to walk all night
tonight like it will never end
circles in this old town of mine,
with my head in clouds
of memories and misty street lights
the rain falling on my skin
seemed warm until it touched me;
it raised goosebumps where it fell,
pale and shivering
and walking alone
i never knew i could feel so old
and so naive at once.
(and here's my secret:)
((i don't love you anymore))
(((but i miss walking with you)))
((((and sometimes))))
(((((i still walk the streets)))))
((((((hoping to run into you))))))

The Highwayman By Alfred Noyes About the Poet Alfred Noyes was born in Wolverhampton, England on September 18, 1880. He was the son of Alfred and Amelia Adams Noyes. Alfred learned to speak Latin and Greek when he was four years old. He attended the Exeter Collage located in England. In 1907 Noyes married Garnett Daniels. During the year of 1927 Noyes had a second marriage due to the death of his first. Afred Noyes dies at the age of 77 in 1958. Alfred Noyes is a famous English poet. He wrote a variety of poems, but his ballads "The Highwayman" and "The Barrel-Organ" are the most popular. In "The Highwayman" poem, there are a variety of poetic devices such as alliteration; "He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there"(185), metaphor; "road was a ribbon of moonlight"(184), a simile; "hair like mouldy hay"(185), imagery was used in a creative way to allow the reader to imagine what was occuring in the poem and rhyming had a huge impact in this ballad. The rhyming scheme for the first stanza is the following: A, A, B, C, C, B. This pattern was repeated throughout the poem. Poetic Devices The significance of the title "The Highwayman" is important to the readers knowledge because it is the main character. It showed us his personality, who he was and what he did in those two little words. The Importance of the Title Format of Poem The format of this poem is necessary because it emphasized important parts of the text. In the poem it would repeat the fourth line in to the fifth line showing that it has occured over a long period of time or that it is critical information. An example would be the first (long period of time) and second (critical information) stanza:
The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight looping the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding--
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door.
He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead, and a bunch of lace at his chin;
He'd a coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of fine doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle; his boots were up to his thigh!
And he rode with a jeweled twinkle--
His rapier hilt a-twinkle--
His pistol butts a-twinkle, under the jeweled sky. In the poem "The Highwayman" there are multiple conflicts in the poem. These conflicts are:
Tim the stable hand vs The highwayman - They are both in love with the Landlords daughter Bess. When the Highwayman wins over Bess' affection, this makes Tim extremely jealous causing new conflicts.
Bess vs The Redcoats- Bess is against the Redcoats because her true love the Highwayman is on the run from the Redcoats and she feels that she must protect him from his enemy and if this ment that she were to be killed she would gladly sacrifice herself for her true love.
Highwayman vs The Redcoats- The Highwayman is against the Redcoats because the Redcoats try to shoot him down by luring him to town with his captured girlfriend and even though the Highwayman is wrong about this but he believes that the Redcoats killed Bess and know has a huge vendetta against the Redcoats.
The Highwayman vs Society- The Highwayman is against society because of his job. The Highwayman is a thief, a criminal so this makes all people frown down upon him. Nobody takes a thief seriously or trust him. Society would be more accepting of him if he were a commoner or earned his money in a honest wage.
Conflicts The Highwayman- The Highwayman is a crook who is madly in love with Bess the landlords daughter. He wears "French cocked-hat" " bunch of lace at his chin" "claret Velvet coat, The highwayman won't wear high class clothing because he is a robber, a thief.His has a charming quality that attracts Bess to him and they fall in love.The highwayman is a intelligent person but vengeful because when he heard the shot that killed Bess he ran away westward but he wanted them to pay for murdering his only love.
Bess- Bess is the the landlords daughter who falls for a criminal, The Highwayman. Bess is a fearless woman for she falls and trusts a criminal. Bess is a beautiful lady who has black wavy hair that attracts her lover. She is loyal woman because she never cheats on the highwayman. She is a brave person because
Tim -Tim the ostler has mouldy looking hair and is a man in love with Bess. she killed her self to protect her true love. Since Bess is in love with the thief he is over com-ed with jealous so he gives the Highwayman and Bess up to the Redcoats. This also proves that Tim is a very selfish man. Tim is also rude because he eavesdropped in a private conversations with Bess and the Highwayman to see when the highwayman was to return. Description

Music and computers. A match made in heaven of two of my favorite hobbies. I've recently started experimenting with Ableton due to the sheer number of freezing and bugs I experienced with FL Studio and that seemed to be as good of a reason as any to work out what would be the appropriate PC/Mac hardware for working with AL 9.7. First, let's tackle the question of the best laptop for Ableton Live.
What are we looking for?
Even if most people would simply go looking for a definitive list of best laptops for working with Ableton Live (which is included!), I believe it's best to start with some hard requirements which can be used a measuring stick to compare the laptops. I don't just want you to come out with a list of laptops but with a better understanding how to judge them from a music producers perspective. In that case, you'll have the tools to pick a laptop even if you live somewhere where you can't buy the laptops I'm about to list or you've found an intriguing sale and you wonder if the laptop behind it is any good.
Without further ado, let's start with the official requirements.
Official requirements
Ableton has published their official requirements for Live 9 but they're only useful enough to tell if a computer can run Live 9. That's not the same as running it with a full stack of plugins and a hefty sample library.
The official Ableton Live 9 requirements:
- PC with Windows 7 SP1, 8 or 10 / Intel Mac (Mac OS X 10.7)
- Multicore processor
- 1024×768 display
- DVD drive or broadband internet connection for installation
- 3GB free disk space (up to 55 GB if you're getting Live 9 Suite)
There's also a Ableton Live Lite version that has the same requirements as their main version.
As you can see, these requirements don't tell much apart from the fact that Windows PCs and Macs are both supported. If you'd take these requirements at their face value – you'd get nowhere. Even a $400 laptop can match them but you wouldn't be even close to a smooth experience whenever you add a couple of synths, effects, send the signal from one channel to another and wrap it up with 3-5 plugins on the master chain to tighten the whole mix.
Even some plugin suites come with higher system requirements than Ableton Live.
So what are actual requirements?
Processor is the most important specification when looking for a laptop for Ableton Live.
Since AMD's latest processors are yet to hit the market, we can focus our attention on Intel's models as they're for the most part the only option when looking for a performant laptop. If you have some knowledge on Intel desktop processors, you can apply most of your knowledge when evaluating a laptop's processor.
Firstly, all Intel Core i3 processors are off the table. We are only looking for 6th-7th generation Core i5 and i7 CPUs. Also, for the most part, H-series processors are better than U-series processors. For example, i5-7300HQ is significantly faster than i5-7200U. U-series processors are designed for ultra-low power consumption which usually cuts into performance.
Which exact processors I consider good for Ableton Live?
- Best budget CPUs: i5-6300HQ, i5-7300HQ
- Best CPUs for a long battery life: i7-6500U, i7-7500U
- i7-6700HQ, i7-7700HQ, i7-7820HK, any Xeon processor
Of course, there are many more processors but you can use your own judgement when comparing them to the ones I've listed above. For example, i7-7567U is another power-efficient CPU (because of the "U" at the end), it is usually found in $1000+ laptops (because it's an i7) and it is a bit faster than 7500U as it is indicated with a larger number (7567 > 7500). But if you have no knowledge on processors, your best bet would be just comparing the processors by some benchmark, such as PassMark.
As a final note, your particular composing style might slightly influence your CPU choice. If you like to start mixing without any plugins on your mastering chain, you could easily get by with a solid mid-range multicore CPU such as i7-7500U. But if you like to compose and tinker with your mix in parallel, for example by quickly building a stack of compressors to which you mix into – you'd be better off with a higher clock speed that only come in high-end i7-7700HQ, i7-7820HK and similar processors. In short, more cores – more instruments, higher core frequency – longer effect chains. For laptop CPUs, it doesn't make much of a difference since laptops have a very limited selection of processors. But for desktops, it might make a difference.
To illustrate what I mean, I have added a handy graphic below. To make matters simple, let's assume you have 5 channels. Channel 1 and 2 are sent to Send 1 for some joint reverb and channels 3, 4 and 5 are sent to Send 2 for some distortion and compression. Let's assume you're using quite a few effects on each channel and on top of everything you have a stack of plugins on your master.
Now, let's pretend you're trying to play what you've got. First of all, Ableton tries to render all your channels (including sends). Each core of your quad-core processor takes on a channel 1 through 4. Core 3 quickly finishes channel 3 and starts working on channel 5. Meanwhile, channel 1 and 2 are done and are sent to Send 1. Once channel 5 is finished, 3rd, 4th and 5th channels are sent to Send 2. Once the last send is done, everything is sent to master and it plays what we've done.
If we were rendering only 128 samples then we might start hearing cracking as we couldn't finish rendering them by the time we should play them. Meanwhile, if we were rendering 256 samples, we would be alright as we finished by the time we need to play them back.
In this scenario, the length of each bar is mostly determined by the sheer performance of a single core. That means that if we've faster cores – we can fit in more effects to our longest plugin chain (which includes master channel).
At the same time, if we had more cores, we could have rendered channel 5 at the same time as channels 1-4 and thus drastically reduced the longest rendering chain.
Obviously, I've simplified matters and assume there are no plugin-level multi-core optimizations but in many cases, that's how plugins work, especially at low sampling rates when there's less to be gained by parallelizing tasks across CPU cores.
Best: i7-6700HQ, i7-7700HQ, i7-7820HK
Memory (RAM)
Once you are happy with the processor, you only need to make sure that no other component is limiting it (I sense some potential for a limiter joke).
RAM is very easy to get right. We don't really care too much about memory frequency or latency. In laptop world, all of these secondary metrics are mostly the same.
We only care about the size (damn right)! 8GB should be your baseline. Don't give a second look to laptops that don't have 8GB, unless you're on a very very tight budget and they have the potential to be upgraded.
Right now, 16 GB is the new "just right" amount of memory. Going above that surely won't hurt you but it's not necessary by most standards. Usually, memory size is tightly correlated with laptop price and other hardware specs, so you're most likely to get pretty much the exact amount your processor needs.
This one is quite important to get right. Long story short – get an SSD. For storing a large sample library you might not be able to get away with a raw SSD setup. In that case you still can opt for an external drive or a 2nd drive, even if that means matching a fast SSD with a slower but larger HDD.
For PC users, SSD should be used for Windows, Ableton and, depending on drive size, VST plugins. For most, a 500 GB is needed to fit in their samples. And for your archives, I advise getting a large external drive or getting a cloud storage service if you have a very good upload link (~50Mbps and up).
MacBook users don't have to worry much about getting an SSD – all MacBooks have one. Their main problem is just raw storage. Apple asks for a significant premium for each step up in storage size so you'll need deep pockets to get a MacBook Pro with a large storage drive.
ASIO Drivers support
For desktop users, this would be especially important due to a wider selection of audio cards and sheer customization options. But for laptop users, you'll just have to accept your built-in Realtek audio chip (or similar). It will work with ASIO4ALL but an external audio card or audio interface is recommend though not an essential if you're not recording audio.
Audio engineering is still bound by wires and situation is not changing anytime soon. So make sure you have at least a couple USB ports. USB 3.1 is preferred due to its splitting potential. Also, I'd prefer separate 3.5mm audio input/output jacks as they're easier to setup than a joint jack. Finally, a dedicated HDMI 1.4+ or DisplayPort is an essential if you want to hook up an external
monitor display.
Protip: if you have any Firewire/Thunderbolt hardware, you might want to check if a laptop has "Thunderbolt USB controller". That basically means that USB 3.1 (Type C) port can be used as a DisplayPort and Thunderbolt port.
Optional requirements
Long battery life
First off, you can't have a truly long battery life while working on audio. But having at least a couple of hours of juice is still better than having only an hour.
This is not a necessary requirement for most because battery life is not as big of a problem as it used to be a couple years ago when only Macbooks and Lenovo laptops had anything close to a whole workday off one charge. But if you're going for a particularly fast & power-hungry processor (which I recommend), you'll need to lower your expectations for the battery or bump up your budget.
Right now, if you can spend ~$3,000 for a laptop and you want "the whole package" – MacBook Pro might be your best option. Windows laptops are unbeatable if you're willing to cut a corner or two – then you can get a laptop that matches Macbook Pro in speed at nearly half the price. But don't expect to get everything Apple offers and still save $1,000 just because you went for a Dell.
Silent cooling
If you're recording in the same room, you might want to avoid polluting your recordings with laptops noise print. Any laptop capable handling Ableton Live will have a fan to cool it down but the processor, cooling layout and a sheer number of fans all play a role in the produced sound. A pair of fans spinning slowly will be less noisy and a lot easier to cut out than a single fan spinning at max speed and entering the mid-range frequencies. Also, avoiding an HDD will shave off a couple dBs.
Sadly no laptop manufacturer mentions their product noise level in the spec sheets. The easiest way to figure that out is to use 3rd party reviews such as NotebookCheck. If laptop doesn't hit 45 dB @ 15 cm (6 inches) at max load – you'll be alright.
Or at the very least you could look for a laptop that produces noise at your favorite noise pattern. Heh.
What doesn't matter
Graphics card is only needed if you're an avid gamer. In many cases, you're bound to get a decent GPU if you're buying a laptop over ~$1,200. If you want to use your laptop for gaming, you should get at least Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M or 1050 for casual gaming and for latest gaming titles I recommend GTX 1060.

Past the laptop
Setting up
If you're going for Windows laptop – Ableton has written one hell of a guide for Windows performance optimizations. Trying to summarize it wouldn't do it justice. And bookmark it so you know what to read if you ever hear any cracks in your buffer.
Final thoughts
If you've followed the general guidelines outlined in this post, you won't have an issue in picking a great laptop for Ableton without much additional research. Whether you're buying a laptop as a primary workstation or as a way to work on music on the go – don't forget that there's a lot more to music than just a good machine for your DAW. If you've been a Windows user before and you don't have any concrete reason to move to Mac (or vice versa), then don't stress over picking the right platform and OS for Ableton – get what you're already comfortable with so you can get back to doing what you like most. Unless of course, you're a fan of exploring new computer hardware as much as you'd like to tinker with an analog synth. In that regard, musicians and computer geeks are more alike than most would think.
If Ableton won't be the only DAW you'll be using – don't forget to check out laptop guides for FL Studio and music making in general.

This, I hope, will be an inspirational post, second to none. It's time for you all to relax. Come to mommy, as they say, and let her tell you a little story. My aim here is to inspire you to great heights in further stimulating your interest in your personal fitness regime. One of the biggest jobs of a personal fitness trainer is to motivate her pupils to persist with the exercise routines she has prescribed for them. You should have seen, or heard, of this well enough when witnessing an instructor take her class through its vigorous paces during a lively and highly musical aerobics session.
There is no whipping and cajoling as such. So, when your new personal fitness instructor appears to be goading you, think nothing of it. All she is doing is pushing you to the next level of fitness. She's been doing this so many times already, so she knows from experience that what appear to be large mountains to climb are merely small, irritating little molehills which you can simply step over. The theme of this post is looking great. Because it's mainly a motivational one and designed to inspire you out of the door for an exhilarating run, I will add feeling great as well.
Soon enough, if you're just starting out, you will start to look great. The moment you begin to see visible signs of healthy weight loss, well, that should in itself be motivation for you to carry on. You'll notice how different you're starting to look and perhaps the only irritant or frustration that you're likely to experience is that those large outfits or jeans that you've been forced to wear no longer fit you. They keep on sliding down your waist. Oh, how frustrating. Tut-tut. You should be laughing at yourself in the mirror by now.
Many of you love shopping, so here's a great opportunity for you to put a new wardrobe together. The beauty of shopping now is that you'll be able to easily slip into outfits that your eyes had been coveting for a while. Now, not so much because of the clothes you're wearing, but more to do with how fabulous you look as a slim individual, you'll be moving successfully in the direction of becoming a stylish and snappy-looking person. If you're single, perhaps now is the time that you'll start to meet new folks. But don't let it all go to your head when guys start to turn their heads and take another peek at this gorgeous babe that just passed them by.
Simply smile and carry on with your walk. Because that's another thing. You'll be walking a lot more, quicker and easier than you used to. You won't be walking so much because you have to or feel obligated to do so, but more because you're really enjoying it and look forward to the next opportunity to go on a walk. Take me, for example. Here I am, sitting at my desk, typing out this inspirational post for you. Not to suggest that I can't wait to get done, but I really am looking forward to getting up and away from my desk.
An earlier post chatted to you in a similarly inspirational sort of way, suggesting the path you need to embark on towards healthy eating alternatives. At the end of it, I said that I also needed to go shopping. It's much the same today. I look forward to shopping. I have to go, otherwise there's nothing nice to eat tonight, right. But I am ready, willing and able to go because I can walk to the store. Guys, I'm really looking forward to it. The blocks between my house and the main road store are lined with trees. Even as late as this evening, but sun still shining brightly, the birds are still singing.
It's really lovely to listen to them. That's why I also look forward to tomorrow morning's run. I'm up a lot earlier than most folks here, so I'm mostly alone on the streets. But no, not quite. There's those birds to look forward to as company. Exercising is necessary. No need to explain anymore why this is the case. But exercise must be enjoyed. Now that's really healthy. A healthy mind is a happy one, with the sense of knowing that the body is doing things it really enjoys. And when there's a happy and healthy mind in check, there's a healthy body to go along with it too.
Those of you who love to socialize should have a good enough time at the gym. Those who are still single will be meeting new, like-minded men or women with similar stories of transformation to tell. See, you guys already have lots in common to talk about. No need to sit at a table with nothing to say. After a few months at the gym, there'll also be another opportunity for you to shine in a new way, emotionally speaking. There may be someone new at the gym, carrying a lot of weight and a lot on her shoulders.
It's a good time for you to give her a lift by telling her that it's all worth the sweat. Perhaps when the workout's over, you can invite her for a healthy fruit juice cocktail. Or even invite her with shopping one day. Let her be encouraged and inspired by what you're putting in your basket. But if you see her personal trainer taking her through a routine, well, by now, you know it's not a good time to interrupt the lesson. Whether a solitary girl or boy, or a socialite, you should also be looking forward to weekends. Think about all the things you can do now.
Think about those adventurous or tranquil things even, that you couldn't or wouldn't do before because you were so bent out of shape and feeling so sorry for yourself.

An illustrated autobiography with highlights from Playboy 's first 25 years
Hugh M. Hefner presents an illustrated autobiography with chronological highlights from Playboy's first 25 years. His personal life and career—from cartoon-drawing childhood to astonishing success with Playboy—are revealed in the most intimate portrait ever.
Limited Edition of 1,500 numbered copies signed by Hefner, in a Plexiglas case. Includes a facsimile edition of Playboy #1 from 1953—featuring the iconic Monroe cover and first nude shots—and a 7 x 7 cm piece of Hef's famous silk pajamas, worn by the great man himself.
This sumptuous six-volume anthology celebrates the decadence, sophistication and wit of the original men's magazine and its creator. Hugh Hefner's Playboy highlights the extraordinary years from 1953 to 1979, with a selection of each era's spiciest centerfolds and writing by literary icons Gore Vidal, Norman Mailer, Jack Kerouac and Ray Bradbury, as well as some of the most important Playboy Interviews, including Martin Luther King, John Lennon, Richard Nixon, and Roman Polanski. A wealth of never-before-seen ephemera from Hefner's personal archives includes original artwork, cartoons and correspondence, and 700 pages of autobiographical text about his youth, military service, early career as a cartoonist, numerous girlfriends and eventual success with Playboy. A vast selection of personal photos—many previously unseen—include behind-the-scenes shots from the Playboy Mansion, Playboy Clubs, and the Big Bunny jet. This is the definitive history of Playboy and its legendary founder.
Limited to 1,500 sets, each numbered and signed by Hugh HefnerSix volumes totaling 3,506 pages, packaged in a 10mm-thick Plexiglas boxFeatures 59 of the hottest Centerfolds in full size, and all 312 covers from the magazine's first 25 yearsComprehensive overview of artwork and pictorials by all of the important Playboy artists and photographersContains a facsimile edition of Playboy's groundbreaking first issue, featuring Marilyn Monroe's iconic nude portraitHefner's text in English with German, French and Spanish translationsSpecial bonus: includes a 7 x 7 cm piece of Hef's legendary silk pajamas!

My name is Lori Vogel and I am a School Psychologist. You may be wondering what a School Psychologist is and why Grewenow would need a School Psychologist?
My job is to help students succeed academically, socially, behaviorally and emotionally. I can't do this alone, so I work closely with teachers, support staff, parents, community agencies, and most importantly students to help create a learning environment that is safe, healthy and supportive. To do this, I complete assessments, classroom observations, and consult with staff and parents when needed. I often tell students that I am a detective and that together we will hunt for clues, identify problems, and come up with ways to help them succeed!
To be a School Psychologist I attended college for six and a half years! After earning a Bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin – LaCrosse, I continued my education in their School Psychology Graduate program, where I obtained a Master of Science degree and Specialist Certificate in School Psychology (30 additional graduate credits).
In addition to my formal education I believe that my personal life and experiences have also contributed to my ability to do my job well. This is my 29th year working for Kenosha Unified. My husband Tom and I have been married for 26 years and we have four children: Tyler (23), Jay (21), Alyssa (14) and Aidan (14). I enjoy spending time with my family and have many interests and hobbies including: hiking, walking, taking pictures, learning, rock tumbling, reading, canoeing, soccer and hockey.

Enhance your dining room with the addition of an area rug. From simple to bold, the colors and shape you choose are up to you and your home's decorative style. If possible, buy your area rug when you buy your dining room table. This will help you when the color matching and decision time comes. If you buy separate, try to keep the dining room set and carpet neutral so it is not hard to match your hot pink dining room set!
What's the shape of your dining room: While most would think a rectangular carpet should go in a rectangular room, there are often exceptions. Area rugs can take their cues from the space as well as the shape of the table that covers it. It is often a play on form and color when choosing the area rug. Decide what feels and looks right to you. Your dining room is your design preference and trends and design can be followed or broken.

Instant Feedback from customers
Please note this product is now discontinued.
The Problem to Solve
The Check Point Customer Survey Solution runs on Android and is extremely simple to configure and use to find out exactly what your customers think about your company.
Often many guests , even ones with constructive criticism, will not use comment card solutions because they say they 'don't trust' the server to hand in negative responses. Another shortcoming of the comment card solution is that sometimes staff become negatively focused for the balance of the shift.
But the biggest shortfall of the comment card system is that management find out about bad customer experiences after the guest has left the building or only after the guest has left a negative response or review online.
The Check-Point Survey Solution
The LRS tool is a customisable tablet-based survey tool. Each section in the restaurant or business has a Check Point tablet that is presented to the customer with their bill.
If any customer records a negative response to the survey, management receives an instant text alert so they can address the customers concerns immediately. The Check Point Survey Tools will undoubtedly help to reduce guests leaving with an unsatisfactory experience of your restaurant.
The reporting feature of Check Point allows QC managers or area managers to analyze data to determine if there are systematic issues within the restaurant. The data can also be used for training of particular staff or even to make changes to the restaurant operation site wide.
The Results
There's about an 80% increase in responses compared to regular comment cards. Customers like to participate in filling out the survey on a tablet knowing that the information they provide is completely confidential and used for management purposes only.
With improved staff performance, staff moral is boosted and the quality of service is usually increased benefiting the restaurant or business overall.
There are other major benefits to the Check Point Survey Tablet solution so why not contact us for a free trial HERE
- High customer participation - around an 80%
increase against regular comment cards.
- Improved staff morale and performance -
healthy server competition.
- Improved reputation and customer satisfaction - managers can easily address complaints immediately, before the customer leaves.

yanie wrote:However, though.... rather than HotaruXSeno, I'm worried more about BuchoXKonatsu
In Ep3, Bucho was thinking...
[spoiler]He feel he can't just kiss a woman like Hotaru, but he was thinking he can definitely kiss a woman like Konatsu naturally without any problem at all [/spoiler]
That's when I started thinking that maybe Bucho's feelings for Hotaru is not as strong as Hotaru feels for him. But I hope I'm wrong.
yeah BuchoxKonatsu worry me more instead of SenoxHotaru as well
she really pissed me off
[spoiler]she obviously going to be in between Buchou and Hotaru more in the future and make Buchou feeling towards Hotaru waver because he will always compare Hotaru with Konatsu each time and at the same time maybe going to make Hotaru feel she does not compatible to be with him and don't deserve him like Konatsu does
what pissed me off is Konatsu keep pretending to be a perfect and nice person who show that she support their relationship but she keep meeting Buchou all the time despite that and showing at Hotaru that she is the better woman...
she is so hypocrite
and she definitely going to use her daughter to gain Buchou and Hotaru sympathy for the kid and from the preview seem like the kid asking Hotaru to hand back Buchou to her
from the preview does it seem like Buchou and her sleeping together in one bed and Hotaru on the floor only?
and the thing worrying me the most is Buchou himself lol
even if Hotaru want their relationship to get one step further but he seem to not think of her as a woman despite saying they already married...
he never kiss her and they don't even sleep in the same room while he treat Konatsu differently
yeah i also think his feeling for Hotaru is not as strong yet as Hotaru for him and he still treat her more like a little sister
but he might just confuse especially with the existence of Konatsu which portray perfect image of woman for him while Hotaru not...
but i think the thing that will make him realize that Konatsu is not for him is that he could never be his real self in front of Konatsu like he is with Hotaru...
he need to pretend like a gentleman and also pretend to like her taste just to suit with her and that is not going to work out because he love just being himself and living in leisure everytime with Hotaru so no matter what he would always go back to Hotaru
i just hope Konatsu not going to appear to much next ep and would focus more on Seno because his scene with Hotaru is such a delight and fun to watch and it really nice to see Buchou get jealous everytime he see HotaruxSeno being so close xD [/spoiler]

Bland Albemarle Cemetery
|Bland, Sandoval County, New Mexico, USA Add to Map
|33 added (6% photographed)
Albemarle is located in Sandoval County in the Jemez Mountains in Colle Canyon. It was a mining community ca. 1890 to ca. 1910. Bland was about three and a half miles northeast of Albemarle. Bland existed from the 1890s to the 1940s. It was originally in Bernalillo County.
The remains of the mining town of Bland, including the cemetery, were seriously affected by flooding and mudslides after a series of wildfires in the canyons above the town over the past few years. The access is on private ranch land, and is dangerous and strictly off limits.

This highly diversified nature of the research forms one of the great opportunities and challenges of robotics and it is at these various interfaces that many of the key developments in humanoid (human and machine) theory are being studied.
The "Robotics Platform" is developed by three departments
Each of these Departments has distinct and unique areas of specialism that provide an immense depth of knowledge and understanding, but through collaboration there is also a breadth to the research that is already being recognized as unique.
Research in Robotics has been present in all scientific plans developed by the IIT; historically it included a third department, called Telerobotics and Applications (TERA), created with the goal of developing technologies and concepts that combine specific human and robotics abilities so to perform complex and novel tasks. TERA started with RBCS and ADVR and finished its activities in 2011.

The term "found object" comes from the French objet trouve, and means: a natural or discarded object found by chance and held to have aesthetic value. The challenge was to find something and recycle it into a piece of jewelery.
Carol bezeled a decorative picture hook for a pendant and fastened it to her CRAW chain with a backpackers' carabiner.
Eva must have been beachcombing again. She caged two pieces of sea glass to make this attractive necklace and coordinating ring.
Judy peyoted this amazing bracelet for her husband with hex nuts - and he loves it. You wouldn't believe how beautifully this piece drapes.
Norma found the iron ore ball that she caged for this necklace on a railroad bed which is now the Greenway Trail (a walk/bike trail) in Austinberg, Ohio.
Rosalie really got into the spirit of finding things and made 3 pieces of jewelery from found objects. She found this metal cameo of a vintage lady at a flea market and framed her with beads for a pendant.
Rosalie found these steel 1943 pennies at a yard sale and used them with turquoise pebbles in this cool bracelet.
Rosalie tumbled and wrapped this glass that she found by digging in her grandmother's old dump site.
After seeing Koby's runway jewelry exhibit at KSU Museum, Bonnie was so impressd with the boldness of the pieces and the way he had constructed them in layers, that she imitated his style in this necklace put together from flea market and hardware store finds.

Prince's Catalog Will be Available on All Music Streaming Platforms This Month
For almost two years, Prince fans were only able to listen to his catalog of hits on the popular streaming site Tidal. However, all that is about to change as Warner Bros has made a deal to release his music to other popular streaming sites.
Apple, Spotify, Pandora, and Google Play are among the list of streaming sites that Prince's music will be released to. According to the New York Post, Prince's catalog is set to be released February 12, the same night as the Grammys.
In July 2015, just nine months before his passing, Prince pulled his music from all streaming services and only granted Tidal access to his catalog. The Warner Bros deal will grant fans access to popular songs like "Let's Go Crazy," "Purple Rain" and "When Doves Cry." Prince's unreleased music and music he made outside of his Warner Bros contract are still under negotiation.
While no official announcement has been made, Spotify hinted at the upcoming release by adding huge purple banners in New York City and London.

Omni Fort Worth
Posted on April 13, 2012 by Ching under Travel.
I had to go to Texas for work this week, but I couldn't leave town without stopping by Scooter's for an ice twix latte. Damn you, Gina Ann, for getting me hooked on Scooter's lattes!
It was my first time at Omni Fort Worth so, naturally, I had to take a bunch of pictures.
The bed was pretty comfy; though not quite as comfy as my own bed. The shower was quite spacious and I liked the rain head.
I loved the floor to ceiling windows, which offered some great views.
This is the chair in my room that I never used.
Here's a photo of the roof-top terrace.
Brian and I Skyped each other every night of the trip.
He even read a chapter from The Hunger Games to me one night.
I loved looking at the city lights at night.
My favorite part of staying at the Omni is their awesome turn down service, which actually freaked me out at first. I came back to my room one night to find my curtains shut, the TV on and tuned to a channel showing calming images and relaxing ambient sounds, my robe on the bed that was turned down as shown in the photo.
I knew that I had left my curtains open and my TV off so I was thinking I was in the wrong room at first. However, as soon as I saw the bed, I realized it was the turn down service. I think this is by far the best turn down service I'd ever encountered. I'd had other turn down service before where they leave chocolate mints on your pillow but, since I wear braces, I wouldn't eat them anyway. I'd have to take my braces off, eat the chocolates, brush my teeth, and put my braces back on. It wouldn't be worth it. I did throughly enjoy the wonderful turn down service, though. I'd come to look forward to it each night upon returning to my room.
I told Brian that, as much as I was looking forward to coming home, I really didn't want to leave because of how much they spoil you at the hotel. Brian was like, "I'm not turning down your bed at night!" LOL. =P

2012 Merlot Estate
The 2012 Estate Merlot is a dark full bodied wine with complex aromas and flavors. The wine is bright deep purple with a nose of dark fruit, tobacco and leather. A few swirls of the glass release soft aromas of vanilla and cedar reminiscent of a cigar box. Aromas of black cherry and blueberry are scented with cinnamon, clove and licorice. On the first sip you taste flavors of plum, dark cherry, currants and fig dusted with coffee and baking chocolate. The wine has soft tannins with a tactile sensation of tasting the dirt from the vineyard, akin to some Cabernets. The intensity of the flavors continues in the finish. This wine has a great balance of rich fruit and bold tannins delivering a wonderful nose, balanced mid-palate and long finish.

The central idea makes sense. It's just that you really didn't make it sensible. My attention didn't stay on task while playing, and the ending did not conclude the story.
The central idea makes sense. It's just that you really didn't make it sensible. My attention didn't stay on task while playing, and the ending did not conclude the story.
The story is left to your own interpretation. Sorry you didn't dig it.
Certainly an original gameplay concept, although it definitely would have gotten stale the longer the game drew on, so it's good that you kept it short. I'd say you could definitely make a longer, better game if you had other gameplay mechanics to go along with this one so that it wouldn't get boring quite as fast.
The "story"/theme seems really overblown, though. It already felt "deep" (note the air quotes) enough with the words at the bottom of the screen, but the woman's voice reading them like a stuffy English major just threw it into full-on pretentiousness.
The major setback to the gameplay was the limited resolution for a Flash game. The game is already pushing it at 600x600 and the actual gameplay takes place in a 500x500 sub-window (because I needed room to push the fractured pieces around). If the characters / tiles were smaller and I had a larger window, I really could've gone hog wild with the concept. So you're 100% correct that the length was determined by the mechanics and that's a very keen eye for design. Kudos to you.
The voice actress, Emily Wilden, is Welsh. So the stuffy accent was a necessity.
Boring, short and over all meaningless. Some people are bound to find the lone gimmick interesting but that is all. When making a game make sure that it does not rely on a single thing to make it enjoyable unless that is the story. This game is uninteresting at best.
Too much story and not enough gameplay is exactly what's wrong with the industry today.
This game is awful. The gameplay itself is very annoying and the difficulty should not come from not knowing where your character is. It's just irritating. The storyline is pretentious and thinks it has some kind of deep meaning and more important than it really is. The art style is bland, the music is bland and the game in general screams "low effort" to me.
You registered just to post this? You need to focus your energy in a more positive manner.
The game's concept is pretty cute, but it's very poorly executed. The game would greatly benefit from a bit of variety to it's platforming and puzzles, this feels more like a brief tech demo than anything else.
Sorry you feel that way.

The Washoe County District Court ruled against ride-sharing company Uber on Tuesday. The firm's lack of regulation and adherence to the laws that currently govern taxis in the state led to a preliminary injunction to prohibit Uber from operating in Nevada. Similar fights have been picked by taxi drivers and state regulatory agencies in seven states across the nation.
States ranging from the West, such as California, to the East, such as Connecticut, have raised serious questions about the app's safety and fairness. Uber assures that although their drivers are not licensed chauffeurs, they are thoroughly screened before and during their employment with the company. NBC4, a Southern California news station, conducted an investigation on the company and found countless instances of drivers with criminal pasts ranging from drug use to reckless driving. Other instances in which drivers have been arrested while carrying Uber passengers have occurred also, including sexual assault as well as one driver who attacked his rider with a hammer. While Uber immediately suspends any driver charged with serious allegations, these suspensions may not come soon enough.
This is not to say that these risks are not taken when an individual gets into a normal taxicab or car service, but there are notable differences. Taxis are required by law to post the company's phone number alongside the driver's name and ID number inside the vehicle. Conversely, Uber drivers are held accountable through ratings given by riders, and any problems are to be taken up with Uber's headquarters separate from the ride. These complaints are also facilitated through social media and email since the company does not have a physical location or phone number. This creates discrepancies and assumptions on both sides. Further transparency exists for taxis in New York, for example, which posts all legal requirements for drivers on their website, including drug tests, fingerprinting, required driving courses, etc.
What began with serious questions of regulation has led to other distinctions between ride-share companies and taxicabs. Gaps in insurance, background checks, and overall safety have crept up on Uber and similar applications. Uber markets itself as a safe and affordable alternative to taxis, but can these claims be trusted when their customers are left feeling violated and in danger?
