In many ways 7 Wonders Duel resembles its parent game 7 Wonders as over three ages players acquire cards that provide resources or advance their military or scientific development in order to develop a civilization and complete wonders.
What's different about 7 Wonders Duel is that, as the title suggests, the game is solely for two players, with the players not drafting card simultaneously from hands of cards, but from a display of face-down and face-up cards arranged at the start of a round. A player can take a card only if it's not covered by any others, so timing comes into play as well as bonus moves that allow you to take a second card immediately. As in the original game, each card that you acquire can be built, discarded for coins, or used to construct a wonder.
Each player starts with four wonder cards, and the construction of a wonder provides its owner with a special ability. Only seven wonders can be built, though, so one player will end up short.
Bring Out Yer Dead is a morbid game of grave family plots.
As the head of your family, you must get the "dying" members of your family into the best plots in the city's newest cemetery. Each day the Grave Keeper brings the cart around the city and you must vie to get your family members in the cart before other families do. But be careful! The Grave Keeper is a lazy guy and any coffins he can't fit in the cart are tossed aside in the river; he'll never bother to bury them at all!
Get your recently departed family members buried in the best plots in the cemetery to gain influence in the city. You may even have to resort to some early morning grave swapping — or you could just rob the graves of all the jewelry you can dig up…it isn't like they're going to need it anyway! Influence is everything! The player with the most influence at the end of the game wins.
In this light, humorous, and fast-paced card game that parodies geek culture and co-habitation, players are roommates just trying to get through life with as little work as possible.
At setup each player is dealt a Job card which lists their free time, income, a special ability that they possess and their Slack goal. Players are also dealt five Life cards. The space directly in front of a player is their Room, where cards will be played during the course of the game. Slack can be represented using any available chit or counter, but every player begins with a Slack total of zero.
Players take turns as follows:
-Draw Life cards until they have six in hand. (NOTE: Some Jobs vary this to five or seven cards.)
-Make "variable" rolls. Some Job cards have variable free time or income; their values for this turn are decided in this phase (rolling a 1-3 gives them the first amount; rolling a 4-6 gives them the second). If there are any "uninvited" people in a player's room, he or she may also roll to "get rid of" them (by rolling a 4, 5 or 6) and either send each such person to another room or discard them (if they cannot be played to any other room).
-If any of the player's in-hand Life cards are green Person cards, they may roll to "call" the person to their room. A successful roll (3-6) gets them invited in; otherwise, they are discarded. Some people are "uninvited" (causing bad things to happen), and may be placed without a roll in any player's room. (See above for "getting rid of" these people.) Pet cards, such as Cats (which don't require a roll to enter a room) and Dogs (which may or may not need to be "called") can also be played in this round.
-For each unit of free time the player's Job card gives them, they may perform one action (play a red Activity card) or go shopping (play any number of blue Thing cards). Some of these cards may have a cost; the total cost for all cards played in a round cannot exceed the income given to them by their Job card. (NOTE: Free Time and Income may be modified by certain Whenever cards played on the player by themselves or other players.)
-At the end of a turn, if a player has more than five cards in hand, the player must discard cards until they have five or fewer. If desired, players can discard all the way down to one card. (NOTE: It is also legal for a player to play ALL the cards in their hand and have NO cards at the end of a turn.)
-Additionally, some Life cards are orange "Whenever" cards which can be played at any time.
-Activity cards and Thing cards typically list a Slack value which is added to the player's Slack total, though some have random Slack totals and some have Slack totals which vary during the game. TV Activity cards and some Whenever cards can be used to cancel cards as they are being played, and some cause previously-played cards to be discarded. Some cards add or subtract Slack from every player's total, while others cause a player to change their Job card (and hence Slack goal). Many cards alter the effects of other cards.
The first player whose Slack total equals or exceeds their Slack goal is the winner.
Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES.
In Codenames: Deep Undercover, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.
Codenames: Deep Undercover, which is sold exclusively in the U.S. by the Target retail chain, can be played as a standalone game or combined with other Codenames titles.

so my closers suck, basically on purpose (the idea sounded so logical at the time)....my questions here are, 1) how many starters/closers to play in the plain P spots, and how many of each to keep on the bench? (i know it's probably just personal preference, but i've never been sure of myself)...and 2) should i drop any starters for: Drese, Hampton, Trachsel, Webb, Lowry, Tomko, Washburn, or Cliff Lee?
thanks for your help and insight, even if you don't read all the writing

Okay, have I got your attention? That's the idea. I have printed this column before but I think it bears repeating. Santa Claus is an important part of Christmas and he doesn't just belong to the children, either. He is an integral part of the spirit of Christmas I think, and it has very little to do with his big list of toys.
In an age where everything is about knowing the intimate details and having the "behind the scenes" scoop, people seem to think that reality is never what it appears to be. Famous people must not really be happy; there must be some scandal behind their smiles. Spectacular events are not really as special as you initially thought; special effects done on computer and stunt doubles are the reasons behind it.
This kind of skepticism is infectious and it makes us think twice before believing anything. But does that mean there is nothing worth believing in? Quite the contrary – we need to believe now more than ever.
In 1897, Francis Church wrote that now famous letter to a young girl named Virginia. Today there is talk of the newspapers folding their operations because no one is reading them. Somehow we still need to get the message out to the world that just because you cannot understand the magic of how something good works does not mean you need to discount its value. If we are ever to achieve greater heights in our existence, there needs to be something out there we have not yet imagined to which we can aim our sights. Otherwise, quite frankly, what is the point?
I am calling on all souls that wish upon stars and throw pennies into fountains – you are needed now to share your faith with those less fortunate, and to ensure that children keep that twinkle in their eye that makes them want to believe. For you see, it is the children that save us all. Those of us who can hold onto the glimmer of wonder that comes from believing are trying to keep some of the magic of childhood with us.
And by the way, for you skeptics in the crowd, I really do know Santa Claus. I have touched his beard and felt his smile warm my heart; I have even shared coffee with him! He is alive and well, and quite busy this year I am happy to report. You see, there is hope for us yet, if we keep believing. If you would like to get in touch with him, you can always start writing again. He doesn't mind if he hasn't heard from you in a while :)
In closing, I am reprinting Mr. Church's original letter for you here as I think it still says the right thing, more than a century later.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
From the Editorial Page of The New York Sun,
written by Francis P. Church, September 21, 1897
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

KABUL, Afghanistan — The C.I.A.'s station chief here met with President Hamid Karzai on Saturday, and the Afghan leader said he had been assured that the agency would continue dropping off stacks of cash at his office despite a storm of criticism that has erupted since the payments were disclosed.
The C.I.A. money, Mr. Karzai told reporters, was "an easy source of petty cash," and some of it was used to pay off members of the political elite, a group dominated by warlords.
The use of the C.I.A. cash for payoffs has prompted criticism from many Afghans and some American and European officials, who complain that the agency, in its quest to maintain access and influence at the presidential palace, financed what is essentially a presidential slush fund. The practice, the officials say, effectively undercut a pillar of the American war strategy: the building of a clean and credible Afghan government to wean popular support from the Taliban.

[EN] AS Roma – Feyenoord
Posted on February 21, 2015
Filed Under English | 2 Comments
On the behavior of Dutch hooligans in Rome, last Thursday, and the response to it, from Rome:
Lots of big words are coming out of a country that elected a fascist prime minister repeatedly, allows a fascist party and fascist politicians in parliament, and an openly fascist football club in its own capital. Also, please ignore the clear reports of provocation by your masked and anonymous police forces (http://supportersnotcustomers.com/2015/02/20/italys-worst-hooligans/).
And for those Italians who start screaming: "That's not true for all Italians!" .. now you know why calling ALL Dutch and ALL Feyenoord supporters "animals" and "beasts", and demanding apologies from an ENTIRE country or even the CLUB Feyenoord is fucking ridiculous.
You are no more civilized than the assholes that vandalised your city. SHAME ON YOU, TOO, for responding and flailing around like emotionally unstable children.
Oh, and apologize for the barbaric circumstances on Lampedusa and for how you treat the Roma people and immigrants in general while you're here. You know, those people you also call "animals" and "beasts".
See how that feels.
Not nice, is it?
Vergogna, indeed.

Posted on March 24, 2012
Filed Under English | Comments Off on [EN] I'll denounce the Theory of Evolution
You come up with a competing scientific theory. You come up with a set of valid and testable null hypotheses derived from that theory. You rigorously test and re-test these null hypotheses, using field studies and statistical data processing, and you never alter or cherry-pick the data to match your hypotheses.
In fact, you go out of your way to disprove them and to reject the hypotheses for which the evidence is not sufficient.
Depending on the outcomes of your tested hypotheses you rewrite and refine and redefine your competing theory and present your new scientific breakthrough to the scientific community for peer review.
This will have two major consequences:
- I will stop rolling on the floor laughing at your idiotic ideas
- You will have proved the Theory of Evolution all over again.
Good luck!

Since Christmas, more than 70 Christians have been arrested in Iran in a large, well-coordinated strike. Most of those arrested belong to the house church movement. Many were released from custody, but a dozen or more
remain in detention. Those charged with trying to convert Muslims face the possibility of a death sentence. Officials say that more detentions are possible, and Tehran's governor said in a recent speech that evangelicals are "corrupt and deviant."
According to a Washington Times report, Saman Kamvar of the Iranian Christian News Agency attributes the increased persecution of evangelicals to remarks made last year by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Khamenei denounced the house church movement during a speech on Oct. 19, warning Iranians against the "network of house churches" that "threaten Islamic faith and deceive young Muslims."
Christians, including traditional groups such as Armenians, Assyrians and Chaldeans, make up less than 1 percent of the population. About 0.2 percent are evangelical Christians, and many of those are part of the house church movement. Because the Iranian government cannot monitor them, house churches present a greater threat than historically established churches.
VOM works closely with house churches in Iran, supporting them with literature, Bibles and other ministry tools. Contacts tell us that Iranians are very open to the gospel right now, after a generation of living under the heavy hand of Islam. House churches are growing daily as Iranians trust Christ with their lives. Pray that these recent arrests will only strengthen the commitment of new Christians. Pray that house church leaders who are under surveillance will find creative ways to continue sharing the gospel.

I tried to go to this region when I was there as it's where the stunning ancient capital of Mrauk U is, but they wouldn't let me enter as they closed the area to foreigners two days before I arrived. Evident why now.

The Los Angeles Times reported today that Los Angeles's Margo Leavin Gallery, which has been in business for more than four decades and has featured exhibitions of John Baldessari and others, will close its doors. The gallery was also a fixture of important international art fairs like Art Basel. Explaining the gallery's decision, business partner Wendy Brandow told the Times:
"People are approaching art differently today. They're not seeking out the thoughtful, complete statement that artists make when they create gallery exhibitions. … The exhibitions have been such an important part of what we do, and they are no longer valued as much by the public."
We would like to open this up as a question for our readers. Do you think this is the case? Please comment below and please, unless it is obvious from your tag, identify yourselves.

Couldn't care less about your cable companies' thousands of channels? Join the throng. But if you'd still like access to the free stations and you have a Boxee, the company just showed off a solution: the Boxee LiveTV.
The add-on dongle lets you hook up your set-top box to an HDTV antenna, letting you enjoy local over-the-air broadcasts in high-def. That means you don't have to miss out on live episodes of X Factor (because you want to know who to vote for, dammit) even without paying for cable.
Aside from getting ABC, NBC, Fox and CBS in HD onto your set, the Boxee LiveTV also comes with a user-friendly show-finding interface that lets you receive show recommendations from friends. We're not sure, of course, if that's a good thing because all your friends ever watch are reality shows and Law & Order (aren't you glad there's only one of those on TV anymore?)
The add-on won't affect the rest of your Boxee set-up, so you can still get your Hulu, Netflix and Vudu fix as you're used to them. Except now, you can watch Simon Cowell and that lanky British robot host without having to pay another monthly subscription. The catch? If the live sports you want to watch are on cable, you're screwed. But hey -- win some, lose some.
For those already streaming their shows through a Boxee set-top box, the Boxee LiveTV could prove just the add-on dongle that you've been waiting for. It's available now, priced at $50.

If you have hit another vehicle, it's more than common decency to stop and make sure the other occupant is okay; it's the law. However, there are many auto accidents where one car hits another and then drives away. This is popularly called a hit and run accident. These kinds of accidents seriously injure and kill people in Florida every single year.
Hit and run accidents don't always involve vehicles. Often times, a pedestrian or someone riding their bike is hit by a car. According to several studies, Florida is the most dangerous state for pedestrians and bike riders.
Unfortunately, many victims of hit and run accidents have trouble getting compensation for things like medical bills or car repairs. The experienced Orlando car accident attorneys at Best Law Firm Florida P.A. will work tirelessly to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. Since most victims run into problems dealing with insurance agencies, especially since Florida is a no-fault state, we can speak to them on your behalf. You can focus on healing, knowing your interests are being looked out for.
Reasons for Hit and Run Accidents
There are many reasons why someone might flee the scene of an accident. These include:
- Driving impaired, such as under the influence of drugs or alcohol, tired, or distracted
- Driver does not have a license or is uninsured, or license has been suspended or revoked
- Driver was doing something illegal, such as driving a stolen vehicle or street racing
- Driving aggressively because of rage or even inexperience
Due to the location of Florida, we have large groups of elderly drivers who should not be driving, immigrants from all over the world who may not understand the law completely, as well as lots of tourists. Any of these groups can be the victim or responsible for hit and run accidents.
How We Can Help
Even if you have no idea who hit you, you may still be able to collect compensation. The experienced Orlando hit and run accident attorneys at Best Law Firm Florida P.A. will work with you to make sure you are aware of the law surrounding complex hit and run cases, that you are kept up to date on all aspects of your case, and that your needs are met as you or your loved one heals from injuries you sustained.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit and run accident in the Orlando, Florida area, please contact the experienced Orlando hit and run accident attorneys at The Best Law Firm Florida P.A. for an initial case consultation.

While hiding behind rhetoric about "not trying to influence editorial," these two companies have made it very difficult for any of us to accept their ad contracts and their "rules." Last week, I discussed this with a publisher who confided that he refused to sign the contract for Morgan Stanley and stood to lose several hundred thousand dollars this year.
How do we combat this? First, if we all hold steady and don't cave in, advertisers like these two will have no place to advertise. Imagine Morgan Stanley never advertising in The Wall Street Journal, Barron's or The New York Times, or in the large number of b-to-b financial publications and on their Web sites.
Second, advertiser associations as well as media associations need to take a stand as well. ABM reissued its guidelines last week, which we applaud, but the ANA, Four A's and AAF need to get involved as well.
And third, those of us at publications that cover media and marketing need to speak out. If I were at one of these companies, I would be pretty embarrassed by the bad publicity it's generating.
So, please stand up and say no to Morgan Stanley and BP Energy.

I have been teaching electric bass guitar since 1982, and will show you techniques to improve your finger strength and dexterity, music theory and how it applies to bass, and ear training so you'll be able to play equally as well whether you have music in front of you or not.
About Steven
About Me: San Francisco Bay area pianist/guitarist/bassist; I've been playing music for over 50 years. I'm classically trained with a solid foundation and knowledge of music theory, and have over 40 years experience teaching, recording and performing. I have done session work and/or performed with members of Journey, Santana, Jackson Browne, Eddie Money, The Doobie Brothers and Greg Allman to name a few, and am currently teaching piano, theory and bass to Mike Dirnt, the bassist for Green Day. Let me take my education and experience and pass them on to you!
My main goal as a music instructor is to pass along my love and kno
Most students are able to learn enough of the necessary mechanics at the first lesson to actually play something before they leave that lesson. This is important because they realize that playing music IS possible. I always enjoy the look on their face when they realize they have actually "played" their instrument at their first lesson.
I am not the sort of teacher who yells and screams if the student comes in unprepared. I realize that people come to me for a variety of reasons and I work with them with whatever they bring in. I am patient and if a student is not understanding a certain aspect, I bring into play alternate approaches. Not everyone assimilates information in the same way. Learning music should be an enjoyable adventure for the student and I venture to say that my students enjoy coming to their lessons. We have fun, and we learn.
My current rates are $40 per half hour, $60 per 45 minutes and $80 per hour, and believe me... you will get your money's worth! Also I should note that due to my current students, plus teaching at a private school in Sausalito and recording sessions, my time constraints only allow me to teach lessons out of my home studio in Alameda. Hopefully this will work for you as well!

I custom build a lesson plan for each individual student's needs and goals.
About Mark
I started playing guitar at age 9, and recorded 2 singles in the LA area by age 14. I was a music major throughout High School and College. I also learned a lot by educating myself at the Brand Library in the Los Angeles Area, which specializes in the arts. I specialized in advanced music theory and improvisational techniques.
I have enjoyed teaching music lessons since 1978.
I custom tailor a lesson plan to fit your individual needs and goals! I can teach you songs you'd like to learn instantly when I hear them on your iPod, mobile phone, cassette or CD that you bring in. I ca
Sometimes I might inject humor into the learning process to make it an enjoyable learning experience, and to help you remember the important things.
I love the satisfaction of seeing my students grow musically proficient and and seeing the JOY that it brings them. Many of my students have gone on to become professional. I am well-versed and well-equipped to teach many styles: Rock (including all sub-genres...Tribal Ambient neo Punk, etc), Pop, Blues, Jazz, Alternative, Country, R&B, New Age, Ambient, Electronic, Metal (and a few plastics and wood as well).
*** Lesson Details ***
I will develop a personal lesson plan for each individual student. During your lessons, I might cover topics ranging from learning how to play, starting from the basics (if you are a beginner), to choosing music that will inspire you on your level, to improving your technique, ear-training, music reading (if that's what you'd like), reading and understanding tabs (if that's what you'd like), knowing what it is that makes certain chords and notes sound good together for writing your own music, as well as guitar maintenance and adjustments, getting a good tone, amplifier settings, effect pedals (settings & placing them in the most effective order), recording tips, and where to get a decent pizza. Haha.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Living Room or Studio, both very comfortable. Amplifiers, guitars, effects pedals, bass, ukulele, balalaika, drum set, PA system and recording equipment. This is a very serene and peaceful environment with no distractions!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide guitar, bass, or ukulele and amplifier when necessary, teaching tools. The student provides their guitar and paperwork I give them.
*** Specialties ***
Teach note reading using Alfred's New Guitar course. Ear Training, Genres: Rock, Pop, Blues, Jazz, Alternative, Punk, Metal, Folk, Country, Hip Hop, Funk, R& B, New Age, Ambient.
What ever your musical preferences are, I will enjoy teaching the kind of music you are interested in. This helps in keeping you motivated to learn more and practice often.
I currently have 5 albums out under my name. A song of mine is on a major new age compilation, and several of my songs have been played on the radio in several countries, and several internet radio programs throughout the world. I have played on other people's albums...some of which have received major radio airplay in Europe, and gone to #1!

About Jesse M.Close
I'm not currently taking beginner bass students. Please refer to my studio partner Tyler:
Expand use of arpeggios and look into common variations in traditional harmony. Also begin to look into the applications of polyrhythms in bass playing.
Break out of basic arpeggios through use of modes and chromaticism. Really push your rhythm to the limit through more advanced polyrhythms and use of asymmetrical meters. Also exploring different types of tone and methods of making sound.
About Jesse
I'm currently not taking beginner students on guitar, bass, drums, piano, ukulele, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba, flute, and saxophone. I highly recommend my studio partners Tyler and Melissa though. Please check out their profiles for the following topics:
Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Flute, & Saxophone
Piano, Ukulele, & Drums
My Background
I've been playing with classical ensembles and rock bands since 2001. Even though I started on classical trombone and rock guitar, I have come to expand my repertoire to a variety of instruments and genres. During my time in college I performed with the University choir, orchestra, and band. I also have organized, wrote/arranged for, and performed
Since 2006 I have been an active teacher. This profession has taken me everywhere from working with classical guitar classes in New Mexico high schools to Elementary students in Japan to a variety of private students of various musical instruments and genres everywhere I've been. Since relocating to the Bay Area in 2010, I've had the pleasure of working with lots of great students from kids to adults with a wide range of ambitions. Since 2012 I've been running my own full time studio.
Philosophy of Learning
Lessons are generally designed to work towards giving students the tools to accomplish their goals and become increasingly independent over time. While all students will study similar fundamentals regarding technique, theory, and performance, every lesson is as different as every person. What kind of music do you want to make? I'll tell you what you need to do to get there, and help you take the steps to achieve your aspirations.
I also love to help students put together a song, record, and produce it for them so that they can have a recording to share with their friends and family.
I also hold events for my students. (Check out our pictures and videos below!)
Younger students have opportunities to perform for friends and family at my studio every few months. Once or twice a year we'll also stage a larger event off site for more individual students and bands classes to perform.
Adult students also occasionally have events where they get a chance to get together and play music as well.
Aside from in-studio lessons, students also have the option to sign up for online lessons via Skype.
(*Online lessons offered during different times than in-studio lessons.)
*Unfortunately due to scheduling issues, I'm not currently accepting students for bi-weekly lessons. I can do regular weekly lessons, or occasional drop-in lessons, but bi-weekly appointments make it really hard for me to give the best scheduled times to my existing weekly students. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
My studio is equipped with:
*Music Stands
*A P.A. System
*Vocal and instrument microphones
*Guitars, Basses, Ukulele, Banjos, etc
*Two guitar amps and a bass amp
*Various percussion including a fully equipped acoustic drum set
*A Roland V-Drums electronic drum set
*An electric piano console and Yamaha organ
*A MicroKorg Synthesizer
*A Tuba, Trombone, Cornet, Saxophone, and Flute
*An extensive physical and virtual music library
*A recording system that students are not only welcome to use but encouraged to
*HD Webcam and condenser microphone for high fidelity online lessons via Skype

Beginning electric bass guitar.
About Judy
Thanks for checking out my lessons. My name is Judy aka Groovy Judy. I'm a guitarist, singer, songwriter and performer. I've been playing guitar for 35+ and teaching private and group lessons for 12 years. I also teach ukulele, beginning electric bass and songwriting. ***Please note - I'm located on the Peninsula, so the areas I serve are: Millbrae, Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Mateo, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Atherton & Menlo Park.***
I work with a lot of kids (as well as adults) and beginners. I'm extremely patient, and I enjoy getting brand new students up and running with proper techniques and good habits. My teaching style/philosophy is to get my students playing as soon as possible in an easy and fun way. I focus on basics such as tuning, rhythm, proper pick technique, strumming, reading guitar tab and/or sh
The styles I teach are: rock (classic, indie, punk) folk, pop, reggae/ska funk, blues, r&b, country, some finger-picking, and a bit of classical. I can teach you any song you want to play whether it's rap, rock hip-hop or a piano piece. I will find a way to do it and make it fun. :-)
My style is easy going, but not lackadaisical. I take teaching seriously and do my best to make the student feel comfortable. I give my students weekly assignments that I ask them to complete. However, if a student doesn't work on their assignment, I don't criticize or condemn them. I go over the assignment with them and gently remind them to play and work on the materials I've given.
I love teaching, music, and sharing my gifts with others.
Thanks and I look forward to working with you!

I'm Ahmad a very enthusiastic musician. I started out teaching myself guitar at the age of 12. I moved to the U.S. in 2001 and studied music for 15 years receiving my B.M. and M.M in music and audio production at San Francisco State University. I then moved to Los Angeles then studied and trained with John Mayer, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, George Lynch and many others. I have performed hundreds of concerts in the U.S. as well in Europe and the Middle East with Artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Michael Angelo Batio, Ratt, Sammy Hagar, Dokken and many others. I ranked #1 in the Slash Guitar Center competition. I was in the "list of top 5 guitar players ever" according to The Examiner, also picked as one of the best guitarists of 2013 and 2014 consecutively in the Rockwell UnScene magazine, and ranked 3rd in the Steve Vai Sam Ash Best in Shred competition.

About Ahmad
I find a student's strengths and weaknesses using various ways to encourage each student. I am very patient, kind, flexible, and enthusiastic and I love working with children as much as adults. I strongly support basic skills: sight-reading, pitch and tone.
I have 25 years experience teaching kids and adults guitar. Also performing live and in the studio.
*** Lesson Details ***
My objectives: to help students powerfully communicate through the essence of music and aid the development of children and adults by finding their strengths and weaknesses and to develop their skills and show their musical talents. I emphasize basic skills, good sight-reading, guitar technique, and theory.
Lessons are held at either your home, or mine using composers from various time periods that speaks to the individual student.
Also,I do prefer to work weekly with my students.
A beginner lesson may be 10-15 min. for warm-ups and scales, 10-15 min. theory and rest playtime. In three to six months the student will be able to read sheet music and should be able to perform simple songs.
An intermediate lesson has more focus on music and technique from a specific genre. A specialty is preparation for guitar auditions or doing live or studio gigs.
I enjoy teaching children from age 5 up to adults.
*** Specialties ***
I teach the basic skills very strongly, and also encourage students and challenge them, as well.
I also have new techniques for teaching Electric, Acoustic & CLassical Guitar.
I do prefer to teach a weekly lesson.
· Electric Guitar · In studio
Ahmad is extremely organized. He has exercises for every topic imaginable. His exercises are clearly written with specifics on how to effectively practice them, and they progress in an incremental and logical fashion. This level of organization allows you to get the most out of your time with Ahmad. He can quickly retrieve exercises for a topic, without having to stop and think, or waste time on transcription.
I leave every lesson with more than enough material to keep me busy. Ahmad has been very flexible working with me and changes that arise in my schedule. On top of all of this, Ahmad is a genuinely pleasant person to spend time with and I really look forward to our time together. For me, I was an intermediate player looking to get to the next step. But I'm confident that Ahmad could accelerate anyone's playing at any level.
· Guitar · In studio
I am a beginner and have been taking lessons for about four months now. Ahmad is methodical about choosing the first couple of songs to help you learn a good amount of chords and then allows you to choose which songs you want to play. Some weeks I let him choose and other weeks I choose. It's been an awesome experience learning a song by my favorite artist.
I can't recommend Ahmad enough. If you have any hesitation about starting lessons, go try one. You won't regret it. I look forward to my lesson every week. It's tough to imagine the week without one.

About Tyler J.Close
I've been playing and performing on Bass for nearly twenty years. I play a multitude of different styles and genres, including rock, country, r&b, jazz, blues, metal, funk, motown, and many others.
My teaching approach is relatively simple; I work to empower you to approach and play your own instrument through rhythm, moderate music theory, as well as fretboard theory and picking/plucking styles. I also like to do practical application studies, i.e., using songs you're interested in learning to apply new techniques.
Most importantly, we progress at your pace and yours alone. If you're a beginner and want to learn to play like Victor Wooten, or just want to strengthen your chart reading abilities, those are a few of the things I am available to teach.
About Tyler
Throughout my career, I've been able to do some great things with music. I have been able to travel Europe and work with one of the world's finest brass instrument manufacturers, Michael Rath, I have toured Colombia with my University's Wind Ensemble, I've recorded at Capitol Records in Hollywo
I have an affinity for modern and avant garde music, but am well-versed in all genres and musical styles! I also like to play in and record rock and roll bands, I've amassed a quite a few years of recording experience as well. From gypsy bands to thrash metal groups, I've recorded a wide array of music.
I also taught in the classroom from grades k-12 for a few years before following my true passion of teaching privately. I love to reach you at your own level and work to grow with you from there.
My goal is simple: I simply want you to come to love music as much as I do, if not more! I strive to give you the tools to become a successful musician in your own right, and I work to keep my lessons fun and engaging.
· Trumpet · In studio
The reason I always believed in private lessons is because no matter how few or how many you take, the learning process gets expedited immensely.
I definitely would recommend this teacher for learning a brass instrument.

Here`s another card made last weeks Tonic Pick of the Week Soiree die set.
I`ve also used the Gothic Arch border punch from Tonic. The sentiment is a stamp from Stampin Up. Underneath the bow is 2 little shoes also from the die set. I drew around the shoe die onto shrink plastic. I did try shrinking a die cut shoe but it was too detailed and just stuck together. If you watched the show where Barbara Gray and Dean Wilson tried shrink plastic, you can imagine the scene. If you haven`t seen this clip try looking on You Tube for it, it`s hilarious.

"The absence of romance in my history will, I fear, detract somewhat from its interest; but I shall be content if it is judged useful by those inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the interpretation of the future, which in the course of human things must resemble if it does not reflect it." – Thucydides
Tidying up some odds and ends on this mungy day, I came across some old journals of mine. Most of the writing was of the quality you'd expect from old journals, but there were a couple of interesting little stories glimmering among the wailing and gnashing of teeth. In the interest of getting to know your narrator a little better, and not desiring to waste a good word, here are some highlights from the historical record, along with some pages from my old sketchbooks:
August 24th, 2005: I was in the water the other night, in the pool under-water between blue and blue and blue, naked like from-the-womb naked. Had I enough breath and enough night I would have stayed there for years, under the unclothed legs bobbing above and over the grate at the bottom of the deep end. Just the water and the not-a-kid-any-more in the water. Then I surfaced and the summer ended and I cleaned up the empty glasses on the table and the summer ended…
Summer started two years ago with a jump and a splash, and later drying off, Ross said that, well, it's really summer now. The other night coming out of the blue and blue and blue and seeing the steam rise off the surface, backlit by the moon, sucking in handfuls of breath summer ended, and we got out of the pool. Now it's time to write the epilogue-that's-not-an-epilogue to the summer-that's-not-a-summer. Dry off and say: well.
December 23rd, 2005: The gas generator only ran from nine in the morning to nine at night, so as to save fuel. Late at night, then, once everything was shut down, or just before it, I'd go down to the water's edge, out on the dock, to collect plankton for the captive fish. The way we did it was to tie a dive-light to one of the pilings and leave it there for an hour or so, then come back with a bucket and scoop up the churning mass of annelids, chaetegnaths, fish larvae, and sundry other miniscule nightmare beasts. Squirt them out of eye-droppers into the fish tanks bright and early next morning.
Anyway, walking out to the dock in the hazy blackness of the tropical nighttime, I'd see pulsing witch-lights in the water. Near the shore the lapping waves'd hurl bioluminescent protozoa at the pilings and the sand, the water emitting greeny flashes that left a pink after-image floating inside my eyeballs. Farther out in the lagoon drifting grey patches heralded foot-wide jellyfish, come up from the deeps to drift about the shallow reefs like bag-ladies in a shopping mall. Down at the end of the pier hung an old gas lantern that barley illuminated the hammock hanging below it and the rough planking of the pier itself. The rushing water below was an even neon black. This was the territory of Roy, the night-watchman.
Roy slept during the day, stretched out in his hammock against a perfect blue tropical horizon. Every night he'd rise and make endless circuits of the island, dodging ghosts and the crocodile. By the time I'd be getting to the dock to do my fishing, Roy'd be long gone, shuffling through the mangroves on the south end or loitering around the latrines, waiting for the supernatural. The sea was dark and it was scary at that hour, the dimly flashing water and that pathetic little gas-light only making it more so. The stars must have been amazing too, all the equatorial ones I'd never likely read about, but I never had my eyes on anything but my precarious footing and the shivering patch of black just in front of my face. So I'd bucket my evening's catch, haul up the winking halogen dive-light, and hot foot it back to the lab. During the day the pier was Roy's, but at night the whole island belonged to the ghost.
A few years back a researcher hanged herself from the lintel of one of the cabins. The staff found her the next day, gently swaying in a westerly breeze, eyes gazing flat on the limitless expanse of the Atlantic. Since then she's stuck around, frightening the bejeezus out of anyone who strolls anywhere after dark. Henk the Dutchman claimed to have seen her on numerous occasions, but Henk also had a very strange sense of humor and had been in the sun far too long. Ellen, model of wrought-iron Aussie tenacity, was lodging in the ghost's old cabin- still is; she and Henk are there until January at the earliest. I doubt she believes in ghosts.
Sometimes at night, out on the dock or walking the trails, I'd hear a rustling in the brush or catch a glimpse of a shadow that wasn't quite a shadow. For a small island it was awfully big when you couldn't see it. The ghost, the dead scientist, was almost an excuse of ours for the fearful dark of our ignorance of the atoll, lit up in scattered witch-lights under the ever-lapping sea. It wasn't the ghost that came to me at night and played her spidery fingers over my face, it was my fear of the island itself, and of the foreign deeps.
February 19th, 2006: I don't know how to write about washing dishes without sounding like I'm complaining. I wouldn't say that I like doing the dishes, but I enjoy it. I'm not complaining. Every time somebody cooks, I wash the dishes. I realize I mention washing dishes an awful lot, and I guess that's because it's a thing I've gotten attached to, that I define myself by. If I ever stopped scrubbing, well I don't know who I'd be.
When the party's over and I turn down the lights so it feels like I'm in a Tom Waits song, and the stereo's playing something old and blue, maybe even Tom Waits, I get down to it and clean 'em all. Look at what everybody left on their plates- one time I cooked asparagus and beans and stuff, and someone had only eaten the tips, and left the bodies of both all over the plate, a bunch of damn quadriplegic vegetables. I scrub off the plates and rinse out the cups, always the cups last, turn them upside-down on the counter. At the end there's a little city of everybody's dinner forgotten on the shore of the sink. Then the next day I get up groggy and put it away, or someone else puts it away, and I've already misremembered who had what or if they ate it all, and who left early and why, and who said what, and who was there, and why I got left with the damn dishes again.
Tonight as I was cleaning up, Adrienne cut up a mango and left me a piece in exchange for my washing the knife and the cutting board. Every time I wash the dishes, and I'm not complaining because that's what I do. You give me a bit of mango, and that's what you do. I'm not complaining about that either, because I like mangos. I guess I'm dependable; that's certainly what I say I am, and that's what gets me bits of mango. Who I am is mostly what I say I am, a little bit the thing inside me, and a little bit the thing inside you. We're all a series of concepts discussed. We're all a collection of discrete objects. We're all in this together. We're all us. Something like that.
May 27th, 2006: Earlier today I was walking into town and I remembered the one time I ever smoked alone. It must have been February, middle of the night and blustery snowing cold whipped this way and that by the wind. I had a sorry butt of a cigar left over from some party earlier in the winter stashed deep in my coat-pocket, saving it for just this sort of a moment. I waded out into the thrashing lamp-lit whiteness to the little patio at the other end of the concert hall and lit up the bedraggled cigar with the cheap purple lighter I'd picked up years before when I bought cigarettes for Sara because she wasn't eighteen yet and I was, just. Feeling perfectly miserable, but with the satisfaction that I'd done perfectly miserable perfectly, I smoked and coughed my way through that dead old cigar, head down and collar up to keep the storm out. Then I saw through my sunglasses again and walked the rest of the way into town and forgot to buy milk.
It's not quite warm-summer-nights yet up here, but the bugs are out, and if there were frogs I could strain to hear them over the traffic noises. Maryland's got frogs to chirp me to sleep in the mist-muggy middle-of-the-nights, turn off the yellow desk-lamp and clatter the paintbrushes clean. Slide to sleep with an eye cracked for the moon and the fireflies, head soft on the pillow, knees soft in the sheets. Don't much want to go back though; don't want to feel nothing about nobody until I hit that soft sand bottom, a year ago in the Gulf of Mexico, Noctiluca whirring lime yellow into my kicking feet. In Maryland: the rafts of fireflies, glittering like candles on the river, bobbing smaller and smaller to the sea; memory receding with the tide.
January 7th, 2007: I think of language as a whirling torrent of words, rushing through the air in front of me. Single, brightly colored words shiver like minnows through clouds of doggerel and occasional linked phrases, mating in the flow. I'm standing there and my hands shoot out, plucking at fragments of sense and anchoring them into place, breakwaters in the rushing tide of gibberish. And that's sometimes the way I speak, and always the way I write, grasping at whirring dragonfly-fish before they melt away into the tumult…
Christmas eve I was out at Connor's again. His family was out of town, and I'd been hired to feed the cats. It was a balmy evening, so I took a stroll down through the fields and liminal woods nearby to the spring. Again, I heard the bird-wake before I saw it, alarm calls and small clouds of bluebirds erupting up out of the tall grass before some unseen predator. Stock-still, I watched as a fox trotted onto the trail, bounding now and again after a careless denizen of the field. Slowly, carefully, making a tremendous racket, I followed the creature as far as the center of a fallow field before it grew tired enough of me to scamper off into the woods. At that point I noticed the sky, and the smell of the earth, and the sound of distant Canada geese, and the dying light in blue and orange, and the fact that it was Christmas eve, and the shadows of deer in the forest, and everything. In the tiny scope of a few words, I can't express that feeling of everything all at once, very fast and loud and soft as moss, gentle as meltwater. It was Christmas eve, the night before the story's birth of our savior in all this mess. Whose grassy tresses we cling to through thick and thin, who lifts us up in heaving clay to better see whose cloud-scattered rain-giving sky, who is the oceans and the wind and every pumping vacuole in every cell of every stem, whose happenstance we are and in whose grace we cannot help but go. The birth-day of the halo 'round the sunward limn of this, our turning world.
March 10th, 2007: Last night, driving into the City to get food for the trip, I was looking out the cramped backseat window at the row of buildings across the river, towers of lights like the tree-synchronious fireflies of Malaysia. I saw the windowlight reflected in the muddy nighttime black-green water and knew other river memories of another night when the moon was low and hazy. Leaning on the stern-rail of the barge, the thrum and churn of the engine wash casting widening V's downstream to frame the sky, we talked about not smoking cigarettes and the glow of distant bodies. Later it was dark, the springwater cool and musty, peepers and treefrogs calling dawn down to the rolling purple world. And the sun came, and the river dried to matte green rumbling silt, and in my mind the banks still roll away past sagging willow and glass tower. The half-recounted fog of moonlight on the barge-wake awoke in me a little piece of someone else, staring out the narrow backseat window at the river reaching backwards to the headwaters of a past. The ears of my ears and the eyes of my eyes, and all that, opening…
Well, I'll take some pinch of this history with me to another shore, and be the river through the river-watching pilot's eyes. Rafts of fireflies in a humid summer field; the moon suffused in a haze; a jetty thrashed by storm-chased waves; the glow from the city over silhouetted trees; now this: the black river reflecting towers of yellow lights.
July 6th, 2009: I see a colony of manroot vines growing over the BART tracks as I bicycle to work most mornings. They are tearing the concrete to pieces. Every spring the thick roots, as big around as your waist, sprout vigorous tendrils that race upwards to the light, seeking any chink in bark or cement. Come summertime, the spiny fruit is thick on the vine and the leaves are browning for the summer drought. They have been here since the bay was dry prairie, grazed by creatures that, from a distance, looked almost like elk. They have seen the small, beautiful people crushed into the mist of songs from which they were sung. They have seen the forests hewn into park benches. They have seen the rapid transit system, and they have seen the bridges, and they have seen the tenements, and they have seen the gunfights, and they have seen the roads. They are growing over the BART tracks; in the shadow of the mountain, the manroot is growing over the BART tracks. Every morning I see these plants and I remember a little more.
When I sleep I hear bŭbŭm 'cham, the wind-lessening, wind-singing trees speaking in tall voices in the green-dark places of the world. In the Yuba, in the cold fish-bright water, I remember floating below the moonlight in a Maryland swimming pool. It was the last night, and I was the last in the water, under the water, naked in the moon. I close my eyes, and forget about the poker players, and the walls, and the road noise, and I can hear far-off the sound of shell beads clinking together, so soft, so gentle, like water.

An open house-style public scoping meeting will be held next week to discuss the environmental review process for the planned San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Platform Project in North County.
Unrelated to the future relocation of the rail line from the Del Mar Bluffs, which is planned between 2040 and 2050, the platform project is slated for construction between 2020 and 2030. Its three components include replacing the 96-year-old wooden trestle bridge over the San Dieguito Lagoon, adding one mile of second mainline track from southern Solana Beach to Jimmy Durante Boulevard and adding a special events platform at the Del Mar Fairgrounds that will serve trains operated by the North County Transit District and Amtrak.
The San Diego Association of Governments, the region's metropolitan planning organization, has scheduled the public scoping meeting for 6 p.m. Jan. 22 at Del Mar Hills Academy, located at 14085 Mango Drive in Del Mar.
According to SANDAG, the rail improvements will increase the passenger and freight capacity of the 351-mile Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor and are part of a package of highway, rail and transit enhancements planned for the 27-mile Interstate 5 North Coast Corridor, which extends from Oceanside to San Diego.
Amtrak will join California to help buy high-speed rail gear
Gloria, Filner come to agreement on SANDAG appointees

Posted By J.T. Kimbell
Program Manager
We continue our series of posts from Windows Embedded interns with the first of our 3 Explorer Interns that I had the privilege of coaching this summer. What's an Explorer Intern? These interns don't spend their whole summer in one of the three Software Development positions, but rather rotate between all of them, getting a taste for each. They'll get the chance to come back next summer as a regular intern in the role of their choice. Below, Meg Quintero will tell you about her summer here in Seattle. To learn more about her project, check back next week for a post authored by all three Explorers.
Oh hai! My name is Meg, and I am one of the three Explorer interns on the Windows Embedded team. I am a rising junior at Harvard College concentrating in Computer Science and am contemplating a minor in Anthropology to further explore human interaction with technology. I am most recently from Havre, Montana, however, Cambridge has become more of my home. Back at Harvard, I am a soprano in the Harvard LowKeys, a contemporary co-ed a capella group, and have been singing for as long as I can remember. I enjoy biking, rollerblading, running, and pretty much anything that allows me to be outside. I am a big fan of the Red Sox and was able to attend a Red Sox vs. Mariners game and rep my team. I have been enjoying all that the Puget Sound area has to offer including incredible theater ("Rent", "Les Miserables", and "Turandot" were phenomenal), great shopping (Pike Place FTW), and waterfront a plenty. I also felt as if I died and went to heaven when I was handed a Samsung 9 Series Ultrabook at the Microsoft Intern Signature Event after hearing one of my favorite bands (Young The Giant) live at Gas Works Park.
My Path to Microsoft
I grew up being told about a fellow who spent his teenage years building computers. His hard work definitely paid off for this fellow is the founder of Microsoft, Mr. Bill Gates. As a teenager, I was inspired by his philanthropy work, more specifically his efforts to assist underrepresented minorities in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. Back at school (Gate's Alma Mater), I am surrounded by Microsoft influences: I attend classes in a building built in honor of Gates' mother, frequent Microsoft tech talks, and participate in hack-a-thons held in the Microsoft NERD center. Naturally, working at Microsoft has always been a goal of mine and Bill Gates is a constant inspiration and role model. My sophomore advisor, a Program Manager at the Cambridge office on the SharePoint team, first sparked my interest in the intern program. I also have an amazing school recruiter, Becky Tucker, who helped match me with the Explore Microsoft program. As you can see, Microsoft has always held a spot in my mind.
Explore Microsoft Internship Program
The Explore Microsoft intern program is very different in that instead of selecting a single discipline to pursue throughout the 12 weeks, we cycle through the three core tech roles: Program Management (PM), Software Development, and Software Development in test. At the end of the internship, we declare a role we would like to focus in and we interview for that specific position. Earlier on in the internship, I realized that Program Management was the discipline for me and have been further exploring the different faces and dimensions of PM at Microsoft as well as enjoying my exposure to the other two roles.
Why PM?
In the weeks leading up to the start of my internship, I tried to prepare by completing mini projects with the languages I was likely to use. While this was helpful, the most valuable preparation I had done was that which I have done unknowingly. Before my internship, I was unsure as to what the PM's role was in relation to the software development cycle or how I could prepare myself for this portion of the internship. I was slightly terrified of PM, however I had a gut feeling that I would enjoy the role. Although I did not realize this before my internship, I have often put on my "PM cap" in my previous experience without realizing it. I am a clinic lead at my school's IT department, I am in charge of processing the incoming client cases and determining how their problems are to be solved and by whom. From this experience, I have learned that I enjoy driving the progress of projects and helping others solve the problems they face. I believe this experience gave me the necessary "soft-skills" that aided me during my PM phase and will ultimately make me a better PM candidate for Microsoft.
World of Windows Embedded
Before coming to Windows Embedded, I knew very little about the types of products and services they offer. Upon arrival, somebody described Windows Embedded as anything that is not a computer, phone, or Xbox. While this is short and sweet, I have found that there is so much more to Windows Embedded. I have learned that Windows Embedded is used in practically everything I interact with on an average day. It saddens me that more people do not know about this amazing and essential part of Microsoft. I don't know if you have seen this video posted by the Windows Embedded marketing team, but it highlights all of the different technologies running Windows Embedded that the average person interacts with daily for a grand total of 45. In a world in which data is a currency, the race towards intelligent systems is one in which Windows Embedded is taking the strides (pun intended) to win. As our General Manager, Kevin Dallas, states, Intelligent Systems are Here Today. In addition to the race to deliver valuable data to enterprises in real time, I am excited about the steps made by members of the Embedded team towards a more innovative and developer/hacker friendly environment. I was even more excited to learn that Windows Embedded has an auto division. My father was a Project Manager in the auto industry for years and therefore this team is of sentimental value to me and more obvious, incredibly exciting and cool! Looking back at my time as an intern at Windows Embedded, one of the most valuable experiences of my internship was the opportunity to not only present my project at the Explorer Intern Fair, but to help promote Embedded and show my peers how cool and exciting it is to intern here. After the fair, an intern friend of mine told me that he is asking his recruiter to set him up with an interview to join the Windows Embedded team next summer. How awesome and cool is that?
What Now?
I definitely believe I gained incredibly valuable knowledge during my time here. When I go back to school, I look forward to approaching my work differently and to further explore and apply some of the methodologies I learned during my time at Microsoft. As I mentioned earlier, I am considering minoring in Anthropology to further spark my interest of creating the ideal user experience. The customer's goals, needs and wants drive the PM position and I would love to study course work that would allow me to gain a better understanding on the customer and how they interact with technology. I plan on "scrumming" while completing school projects and convincing project teammates to use tools like Team Foundation Server and Code Flow, both of which helped my Explorer Intern Team to organize and drive the code development. I am excited to come back next summer as a PM intern on the Windows Embedded Auto team and am already considering project ideas. My internship opened my eyes to the different ways in which I view the world and the problems I face daily. Everything I face is a problem to be solved!

1. Shrimp Tacos: I did tried before and were so kinda easy to make. For my recipe I used hummus instead of cream, a lot of lemon, avocado and purple onion, plus cilantro… Was sooo tasty! Ah, and almost forgot to tell that obviously I added habanero salsa mmmmm… And imagine drinking with a cold glass of beer!
2. Fresh Salad: Personally I'm a huge fan of salads and I love to create new mixes… Is the best thing, to eat on a summer day, and a salad can be a full meal (for example if you add protein as quinoa or kale).
Which are your fav salad ingredients? 🙂
3. Salmon burger: When I was in Finland I tried for the very first time the salmon smoked burgers and definitely felt in love with the taste. And Now I want to try my own version, it's a shame that the selection of smoked salmon in the supermarkets are very poor (and btw if you know a place where I can find smoked salmon in mexico city, let me know it) but I'll handle it, so stay update for a new recipe in the blog 🙂
4. watermelon salad: Again, another easy breezy salad, this time all about small pieces of watermelon plus fetta cheese with a nice touch of mint leaves! Definitely need to try this!
5. And last but not least: Berry bowl for breakfast! I wish I could have more time to wake up at 5 am and make myself a nice bowl full of goodies… Which is your fav bowl combo?
Have you ever tried any recipe from above? Wanna try some?
pls share your fav recipes, 🙂
peace out folkies!

2) I run record example
3) option r (to record)
4) save in a wav file
If I play the recorded wav file I can not listen nothing, there is no data.
How can I test these examples?
