Remember the night that Donald Trump won both Alabama and Massachusetts? It was an impressive feat given the difference between the two states when it comes to politics (and much else).
Tonight, Trump seeks another impressive double: Mississippi and Michigan. He's heavily favored in Mississippi and is off to a good start in Michigan — leading John Kasich 37-30 with about 7 percent of the precincts reporting.
The focus tonight will probably be on whether Trump clears 35 percent of the vote (or whatever threshold one finds significant) and by how much. We'll also be looking at whether Kasich can stay within shouting distance of Trump (assuming he doesn't win Michigan), with an eye towards next week's big primary in Ohio, the governor's home state. And we'll be judging the extent of Marco Rubio's apparent collapse.
But if we take a step back, we can't help but be impressed that Trump has been so successful in the Deep South, in New England, and now (it seems) in the industrial Midwest.
TRUMP WINS THEM BOTH: Trump has already been declared the winner in Mississippi and Michigan. In Mississippi, he is flirting with the the 50 percent mark. In Michigan, he's about half way between 35 and 40 percent. These results suggest that Trump is not stalled.
Cruz may close do well in Idaho and the Hawaii caucus. But this is already a very good night for Trump, I think.
THE RACE FOR SECOND IN MICHIGAN: Trump now leads Kasich by 38-26 in Michigan. Does this give Kasich momentum going into Ohio? I wouldn't think so. (The good news is momentum may not matter when it comes to Kasich's defense of home turf.)
Furthermore, Cruz is closing in on Kasich for second place. He trails the governor by only 3 points with a third of the vote in. Some are speculating that the vote that's not yet in is weighted towards areas where Cruz is popular (rural areas, presumably). We'll see.
HERE'S AN ODDITY: A CBS exit poll in Michigan found Cruz beating Trump head-to-head by a margin of 46-37. Yet in the actual voting among a four-member field, Trump is capturing 37 percent of the vote. I think we can discount this exit poll.
CRUZ NOW IN SECOND PLACE IN MICHIGAN: Ted Cruz has slipped past John Kasich into second place in Michigan. The margin is around 4,500 votes, or 0.4 percentage points. 91 percent of the vote is in.
I'm not sure how much the race for second matters. Cruz and Kasich will both pick up a dozen or more delegates — more combined, apparently, than Trump. Both will be mildly encouraged by tonight's results, Kasich because it's rare for him to crack 20 percent (I can't think of another state where he has); Cruz because second place or a very close third in the industrial Midwest is respectable for him and because Marco Rubio did so poorly.
But Donald Trump will be the most encouraged of all.
CRUZ HEADING FOR VICTORY IN IDAHO: In Idaho, about 30 percent of the vote is in. Cruz leads Trump 40.7 to 30.0. Rubio is in third place with 18.2. It certainly appears that Cruz will win Idaho.
32 delegates are available in Idaho. Hawaii, where I think Cruz will do well, has 19 delegates. And Cruz will pick up at least a dozen delegates in Michigan, it looks like. I'm not sure about Mississippi.
So in terms of delegate count, Cruz will be able to say that he is still on course to block Trump from winning the required number of delegates. However, what Trump demonstrated tonight is that he's still on track to prevail in major winner-take-all primaries, at least as long as there are more than two candidates. It is these primaries that hold the key to Trump's quest to get to the magic delegate number.
Rubio is the big loser tonight. He brings negative momentum, if there is such a thing, to Florida.
SIGNING OFF: I'm not going to stay up for the Hawaii returns. Not that big of a political junkie.

Group D goes Dutch
France 2-3 Holland
(Amsterdam - Att: 50,000)
Holland clinched top spot in Group D - and a quarter final return to Amsterdam - with a thrilling 3-2 win over world champions France.
And if this group match does serve as a dress rehearsal for the final in Rotterdam on July 2, then mouths are already beginning to water across Europe.
France rested several key players, including captain Didier Deschamps and playmaker Zinedine Zidane, but they made a stunning start.
The World Champions were ahead inside eight minutes when goalkeeper Sander Westerveld, deputising for the injured Edwin van der Sar, failed to gather a Johan Micoud corner, allowing Christophe Dugarry to power home a header.
The early setback was a huge body blow for the co-hosts, but they hauled themselves off the ropes to deliver a knockout blow of their own with an equaliser inside six minutes.
Dennis Bergkamp put his fellow striker Patrick Kluivert clear as the French appealed in vain for offside and Kluivert took full advantage, cutting back inside and bending a shot beyond Bernard Llama for his 25th international goal.
Bergkamp went close to putting the Dutch ahead midway through the first half but saw his scuffed shot bounce against the crossbar with Lama backpedalling furiously.
Instead, it was the French who regained the upper hand on 31 minutes.
Micoud was agonisingly close to scoring with a free-kick from the half-way line, but Westerveld recovered his ground to tip the ball over, only for the French to make the pressure count from the resulting corner.
Too slow
Once again the Dutch failed to deal with the flag kick and Sylvain Wiltord's stinging shot from the edge of the area was flicked home by David Trezeguet, with Edgar Davids too slow to come off the goal-line and play the French offside.
Leading for a second time was no more than Les Bleues deserved, but the fans that bathed the Amsterdam Arena in a sea of orange refused to turn on their team and their backing was crucial.
Holland came out after the break keen to take a ride on that tidal wave of support and they were soon back on level terms for a second time.
Six minutes after the restart, Frank de Boer caught the French defence out with a thumping free kick as the defensive wall was still being built.
Lama did supremely well to get his hand to the strike, but could only help the ball in off the underside of the crossbar.
Buoyed by the break, Holland completed their comeback with the winner on 59 minutes.
Westerveld's long clearance instantly put full back Christian Karembeu on the back foot and Boudewijn Zenden took full advantage, outstripping his marker and planting a clinical low shot beyond Lama from just inside the penalty area.
France were not about to accept defeat though, despite the prospect of returning to their previous base in Bruges as runners-up.
Sixteen minutes from time, Wiltord came agonisingly close to an equaliser as his shot flew wide of the far post following a neat pass from substitute Youri Djorkaeff.
And Trezeguet had an even better chance to restore parity moments later, only to drill his shot straight at Westerveld after a storming run into the box.
A draw would probably have been the right result at the end of the class encounter of the tournament so far, but there were few complaints as Holland secured the group win that keeps them in Amsterdam, while France return to their adopted home of Bruges.
There was still time for Holland to set one more landmark however, as substitute Aaron Winter was introduced to equal the Dutch international appearance record of 83 caps set by Ruud Krol.
France: Lama, Karembeu, Desailly, Leboeuf, Candela, Vieira (Deschamps 90), Micoud, Dugarry (Djorkaeff 68), Pires, Trezeguet, Wiltord (Anelka 80).
Holland: Westerveld, Bosvelt, Stam, F. de Boer, Numan, Zenden, Davids, Cocu, Overmars (van Vossen 89), Bergkamp (Winter 77), Kluivert (Makaay 60).
Referee: A Frisk (Sweden).

How 3D NAND Shrinks ECC Requirements
Error Correction Codes, ECC, are not only important to today's NAND flash market, but they have been a cause of concern to NAND users for a number of years. The Memory Guy has been intending for some time to write a low-level primer on ECC, and I am finally getting it done!
Why is ECC necessary on NAND flash, yet it's not used for other memory technologies? The simple answer is that NAND's purpose is to be the absolute cheapest memory on the market, and one way to achieve the lowest-possible cost is to relax the standards for data integrity — to allow bit errors every so often. This technique has been used for a long time in both communications channels and in hard disk drives. Data communication systems can transfer more data using less bandwidth and a weaker signal over longer distances if they use error correction to restore distorted data. Hard disk drives can pack more bits onto a platter if the bits don't all have to work right. These markets (and probably certain others) have invested a lot of money in ECC research and development, and as a result ECC today is a very well-developed science.

WIOMING: Another Spin on the Hybrid Memory Cube
At a Conference in San Francisco today (Tuesday December 13 ) ST-Ericsson and CEA-Leti presented a paper on something the companies called a: "Breakthrough 3DIC with Wide I/O Interface."
This product appears to be a variation on the Hybrid Memory Cube, or HMC concept detailed in a prior post.
Remember that the HMC stacks a number of DRAM chips atop a logic chip. The memories store data and communicate to the logic chip through thousands of through-silicon vias (TSVs) while the logic chip handles communications with the outside world. Continue reading

text: Usually by the time someone calls us for help with a design project they are ready to pull their hair out. Believe me, I understand the overwhelm they are feeling. I feel the same way when I shop for clothes. I can shop for hours and come back with nothing. It seems my clients make the same kind of progress shopping for their homes. So how do we tackle this sense of being totally overwhelmed? The first thing we do is work on decorating rooms one at a time. I actually will not take on clients who will not agree to work on one room at a time. Why you ask? Well, when you handle things piecemeal it is harder to see progress. A new sofa here, a new pillow there, but all the while all five rooms you are redoing at once are still mostly not done. Then there is the confusion problem....does this pillow go with the living room or Sue's room? Was I looking for curtains for my room or the dining room? It is too much to keep track of. One room at a time keeps you focused with your eye on one ball. Everyone knows what is going on and what the goal is. Progress happens faster and the end result is lots of renewed motivation and excitement. Then the one rooms is done and we move on to the next. It keeps it fun and fresh.

I think the trick to waking up sleepy children is to bribe them with things to come.
It seems to work on cold mornings when two little girls complain about getting out of their warm bed to a world of school and teeth brushing. I've used this bribery tactic from Day One and my testimony of its power was realized this morning.
When weeks are such that I can't remind them of a holiday or a trip around the corner, because either events have happened or are too far away to happen, I have a back-up plan.
"One of these mornings . . ." I say quietly and slowly, pulling back their sleepy bed-headed mops. "you are going to wake-up and look out your bedroom window . . . instead of green grass and yellow-colored mountains the world will be covered in white. It will be like magic."
This eventuality has always pulled the slumber out of their little souls.
"Snow!" Jane dances on the mattress.
Then we talk about how Jane wants to eat the snow. And I say "not the yellow snow" and she says "Of course not the yellow snow." Then Claire wants to know if the snow will stay on the little hill in the backyard so that she can go down in on a sled. And I say "Eventually the snow will stick." And then Jane says "It always snows on Christmas in Utah!" Then I just say a silent prayer that this December 25 brings with it a magical blizzard. Is that too much to ask?
But for two months we've talked about the morning of the great white-out. Two months of discussing when it will happen and what boots we should wear when it does. Two months of dispersed anticipation.
And this morning it happened.
I awoke to the wind blowing our giant lilac bush. It was heavy with snow. I ran downstairs to tell the girls. It was if I had pulled the fire alarm. The girls were up! Dressed! Gloves! Hats! A foot-tall snowman was rolled around and left on the front porch to melt in the afternoon sun! I gave up trying to feed them breakfast. What was the use? Jane ate fistfuls of (only) white fluff. "It just tastes so good!" I even saw them hugging eachother on the front lawn.
Celebration! Anticipation! Precipitation!
As I watched from the kitchen window I was grateful to see that the snow had not made a liar out of me.
Magic indeed.

Agency History
The Texas State Historical Survey Committee was created on a temporary basis in 1953 (Senate Concurrent Resolution 44, 53rd Legislature, Regular Session) to administer a comprehensive state program for historical preservation; it was given more permanent status in 1957 (Senate Bill 426, 55th Legislature, Regular Session). The Committee became the Texas Historical Commission in 1973 (House Bill 1512, 63rd Legislature, Regular Session).
The Texas Historical Commission is composed of eighteen members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, serving overlapping six-year terms. Members must be citizens of Texas who have demonstrated an interest in the preservation of the state's historical heritage, and represent all geographical areas of Texas. Beginning in 1995, the membership must include a professional archeologist, a professional historian, and a licensed architect; and two of the members must be from counties with populations of less than 50,000. The governor names the chairperson. The members appoint an executive director to administer the agency. In 1998 the commission had a staff of about 100 employees.
The mission of the commission is to protect and preserve the state's historic and prehistoric resources for the use, education, economic benefit, and enjoyment of present and future generations. The main functions of the agency are to identify, preserve, interpret, and maintain historic and archeological sites. Duties of the agency include preservation consultation with the public; providing leadership to heritage organizations and county historical commissions; working with communities to protect Texas' architectural heritage, including operation of the Texas Main Street Program; administering the state's historical marker program; working with property owners to save archeological sites on private land; ensuring archeological sites are protected as land is developed for public construction projects; consulting with citizens and groups to nominate properties for historical and archeological landmark status and for the National Register of Historic Places; and making historical attractions a cornerstone of the Texas travel industry. The Commission also maintains the Historic Sites Atlas (a database of information on 200,000 historic sites in Texas); is involved with the LaSalle excavations; and was involved with the development of the Bob Bullock State History Museum in Austin.
In the late 1990s, the Texas Historical Commission went through an agency restructuring in which several divisions were combined. The agency now contains seven divisions that carry out the responsibilities of the agency. The Administration Division oversees budgetary, planning, and other executive functions. The Community Heritage Division operates the Main Street Program, the Heritage Tourism Program, and the Certified Local Government Program. The Archeology Division administers the archeological programs of the agency in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act and the Antiquities Code of Texas. The Architecture Division administers architectural grants, monitors the state's National Historical Landmarks and reviews proposed changes to Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks. The History Programs Division operates the National Register Program and the Local History Program. The Marketing Communications Division issues a monthly newsletter, The Medallion, provides production services for other departments, assists with public outreach, and helps coordinate the agency's annual museum conference. Staff Services handles personnel, accounting, and other staff functions.
The Community Heritage Development Division operates the Main Street Program, the Heritage Tourism Program, and the Certified Local Government Program. The Main Street Program was created about 1981 and is designed to revitalize downtown centers of cities with fewer than 50,000 people. The program provides cities with architectural consultation, marketing, and interior design training for this purpose. In 1989 the Legislature provided funding for an Urban Main Street Program. The Heritage Tourism Program works with business communities and with civic and educational organizations to promote and preserve historic sites in heritage areas. The Certified Local Government Program was created in 1980 and offers technical assistance to cities and awards grants to help with the development of quality local preservation programs.

Scope and Contents of the Records
This series consists of correspondence, memoranda, project proposals, community profiles, committee minutes, clippings, assessments of historic architecture, photographs, slides, maps, illustrations and drawings, conference proceedings, notes, reports, and publications. The files cover the years 1829, 1847, 1852-1853, 1866, 1870, 1888-1985, 1990-1999, undated (bulk 1980-1982, 1990-1994) and document two programs of the Texas Historical Commission's Community Heritage Development Division - the Main Street Program, and a regional documentation project of the Heritage Tourism Program, the Los Caminos del Rio Heritage Project.
The Main Street Program selects smaller cities and towns and works with them to revitalize their downtown centers. The records cover the beginning years of the program, from Texas' initial proposal to be part of the national main street program, through the first few years of the program's operation. There is a set of reading files of the Main Street Program director, containing memos and outgoing correspondence with community leaders and others about the Main Street project and with organizations and local people in specific cities involved in the project. There is also a set of files concerning the project proposal Texas prepared in 1980 and sent to the National Main Street Center to be accepted as a pilot project state. Dates of the Main Street Program files are 1979-1985, bulk 1980-1982.
The Los Caminos del Rio Heritage Project was undertaken as part of the Heritage Tourism Program to promote and preserve historic sites along the Los Caminos del Rio heritage corridor, an area of about 200 miles along the Texas-Mexican border between Laredo and Brownsville. The bulk of the files consist of photographic media, most being photographs taken by Historical Commission staff to document sites in the corridor, largely focusing on several cities and towns. Of special note is a large group of photographs from Guerrero Viejo, a colonial Mexican town inundated in 1953 when the Falcon Reservoir was built on the Rio Grande. Also present are the maps, photographs, and original artwork used in the project's publications, A Shared Experience: The History, Architecture and Historic Designations of the Lower Rio Grande Heritage Corridor, 1st edition (1991), and the 2nd edition (1994); and A Shared Experience: A Teacher's Companion (1994). Dates of the Los Caminos del Rio Heritage Project files are 1829, 1847, 1852-1853, 1866, 1870, 1888-1979, 1990-1999, undated (bulk 1990-1994).

It should come as no big surprise that something as seemingly benign as fertilizer could explode. The
very first military explosives in America came from Ag chemicals-fertilizers. Perchorate and other substances
are highly explosive. The Henderson Nevada perchorate fire surprised many. In this article, ammonium nitrate is examined as a possible source, but anhydrous ammonia was on site.
Great article.


text: Whether it's a family vacation or a business trip, there's nothing quite like traveling! A few days away from home is always a nice change of pace, and a great way to "recharge the batteries." Unfortunately, traveling puts you at greater risk for a bed bug infestation in your home. One of the most well-known bed bug myths is that you'll only find them in dirty, run-down places, but the truth is that bed bugs prefer places where large amounts of people sleep, and you're just as likely to find them in an upscale hotel as you are in a seedy roadside inn.

Molecular dissection of cytosolic innate immune activation during bacterial infection.
It was first recognized several decades ago by Janeway and Medzhitov that there are pattern recognition receptors on the surface of mammalian cells that recognize microbial-associated molecular patterns. More recently, it has been discovered that there are similar "receptors" that monitor the sanctity of the host cell cytosol and respond to "danger" signals by initiating innate immune responses. The Monack Lab studies the molecular mechanisms of intracellular recognition of bacterial pathogens by comparing and contrasting infections with intracellular Salmonella and Francisella. One of the lab's most notable discoveries was demonstrating that the type I Interferon and the inflammasome innate immune pathways are sequentially linked and that this 2-tiered response is a gauge of the "danger" level before commitment to cell death.
Specifically, the Monack Lab has shown that cytosolic Francisella elicit a type I IFN response within an hour of infection. This results in up-regulation of many innate immune genes including AIM2, a host cytosolic receptor that binds dsDNA, which is a cytosolic "danger signal." The dsDNA - AIM2 interaction triggers inflammasome assembly and caspase-1 activation. Active caspase-1 cleaves pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediates macrophage death, which eliminates the intracellular pathogen niche. Importantly, none of these pathways are important for Salmonella, which might reflect the fact that Salmonella does not replicate in the cytosol of macrophages.
Intracellular Salmonella stimulates caspase-1 activation by a different pathway compared to Francisella. The Monack Lab has shown that translocation of flagellin through Salmonella's type 3 secretion system triggers a very rapid macrophage death that requires an intracellular scaffold protein called NLRC4/Ipaf that binds and activates caspase-1, which then leads to cytokine activation and cell death. The Monack Lab has shown in mouse models of infection that the caspase-1-dependent maturation of proinflammatory cytokines and macrophage death are important for innate immune defenses against Francisella and Salmonella. The Monack Lab also elucidated a caspase-11-dependent cell death that is critical in eliminating Salmonella's intracellular niche. Collectively, the Monack Lab's work is key to increasing our understanding of how caspase-1- and caspase-11-dependent innate immune mechanisms detect bacterial pathogens.
More recently, the Monack Lab interrogated the caspase-11 pathway by conducting a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen in macrophages to identify host factors that impact LPS-dependent activation of caspase-11. This led to the discovery of pathways that amplify caspase-11-dependent cell death. Importantly, in a mouse model of endotoxic shock where uncontrolled caspase-11 activation leads to death, her lab has shown that these new amplification pathways of the caspase-11 pathway increase severity and pathologies during sepsis.
Identification of novel Salmonella virulence determinants that mediate persistent infection.
The lifestyle of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium during acute infections in the gastrointestinal tract and within macrophages in systemic tissues has been intensely studied. However, the mechanisms that lead to bacterial survival, systemic dissemination, and transmission during persistent infections are less well understood.
Through genetic screens, we have discovered genes required for long-term survival in a mouse model of Salmonella infection. We have shown during colonization of systemic sites that Salmonella injects effector proteins through the type 3-secretion system encoded on Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 2 that mediate inhibition of dendritic cell (DC) chemotaxis. We have also shown that this inhibition of DC chemotaxis contributes to Salmonella persistence by dampening adaptive immune responses. In addition, we have shown that there are nutritional and virulence mechanisms that mediate intraspecies competition in the distal gut that influence transmission to naïve hosts.
Characterization of immune states that mediate tolerance and influence disease transmission.
We have shown that oral infection of 129SvJ mice with Salmonella results in 20-30% of the mice being supershedders (shed >108 CFU/g feces), which rapidly transmit infection. Although supershedder mice develop colitis, they remain asymptomatic. Importantly, both supershedder and non-supershedder hosts carry identical pathogen burdens across all tissues except the intestinal tract. Our results strongly suggest that tolerance mechanisms play a role in the maintenance of the asymptomatic supershedder state. What is tolerance in the context of our model? An infected host can fight pathogenic infection by two distinct processes, resistance and tolerance. Resistance encompasses a diverse set of mechanisms employed by the host to control pathogen invasion and replication. Tolerance, on the other hand, employs different mechanisms that help the host organism tolerate the damage caused by the pathogenic infection and the resulting immune response.
We have been testing the hypothesis that tolerance mechanisms play a role in the maintenance of the asymptomatic supershedder state. Although very little is known about the full spectrum of tolerance mechanisms, the few studies in animals suggest that since pathogens and immunopathology can potentially affect almost any physiological process, tolerance is not restricted to a single protective pathway. Thus, we are taking broad unbiased approaches to map the crosstalk between the host immune state and pathogen during asymptomatic carriage. Our initial studies have shown that supershedder hosts have a unique dampened immune state that not only facilitates disease transmission but also confers tolerance to antibiotic-induced disturbances of the microbial communities in the gastrointestinal tract.

It does not get much to grasp why numerous folks have started to consider disposable cameras on vacations rather than their Bank Routing Number . The single use cameras can offer precisely the same features, but people haven't got to fret regarding their nice digital camera being stolen, shed or broken. These days, this identical thought is translated in the fiscal scene and now you can receive an individual use credit score card number that could give excellent security and stability when building purchases on the net.
With credit score and debit card fraud and id theft continuously increasing, the two worried individuals as well as credit score card providers are often searching for techniques to allow persons to benefit from the usefulness of applying their debit or credit score card for the buys they would like to make equally at area vendors and on the web, while safeguarding the credit card information along with the private facts with the buyer. One of the ground breaking ways that this has become made probable is through the issuing of virtual credit card quantities, which might be principally created to be utilized for on-line buys.
A virtual quantity for one can be applied whenever you need to come up with a invest in online permitting you to definitely use a profitable transaction without having at any time having to reveal the real quantities of one which have been discovered embossed with your credit history card. Most often, the virtual one can only be utilized at one internet site and if not for one particular invest in only, then it truly is constrained to the really temporary window of your time when it really is valid.
This sort of arrangement allows to shield your genuine one particular from any pc hackers which may crack right into a credit history card processing submission, in order to try and steal your credit score card facts. Regardless of whether a hacker manages to have the entire quantity in conjunction with the opposite info they need to finish a transaction, they are going to be foiled for the reason that the virtual card will no longer be legitimate.
Whether or not you are feeling that you've got an incredibly safe connection and they are not anxious about hackers being able to capture your information when you post an purchase on-line, one other detail to help keep in your mind are people on the internet merchants who may possibly not be wholly trust-worthy. Although the large and legit on the web shops have credit history card processing programs set up that can help maintain your card details safe, the unscrupulous merchants could make an effort to just take advantage of that info by possibly applying it on their own or promoting it to get a higher cost to digital criminals.

CROSS is a full-length, standalone first book in a steamy and suspenseful new MC Romance series – Devil's Nightmare MC – by Lena Bourne. No Cliffhanger, HEA Guaranteed!
***LIMITED TIME BONUS: Get two extra full-length books with your purchase of Cross!***
I'm the guy whose name brings fear into the hearts of even the hardest men. They call me Cross, because I've killed enough men to fill a cemetery, and I never saw any problem with that. Until a woman I hardly remember brought my eleven-year-old daughter that I didn't know existed, to my doorstep and left her for me to take care of.
At first my daughter was a complication I didn't need, but now I'll do everything I can to raise her right. I'll even stay away from her hot-as-sin guidance counselor Roxanne, who makes me feel like I'm twenty again, and not pushing forty. Which isn't to say I wouldn't show her what a real man can do with a woman like her.
My father was the president of an outlaw MC, and until I turned twenty-one a world of bikers, mayhem and crime was all I knew. Then a rival gang destroyed it all, killed my family and everyone I held dear, and made me the property of a brutal, ruthless man. I ran away, got an education, and haven't looked back.
Now I'm the guidance counselor at a small town junior high school, my old life so far behind me it might as well be someone else's past, and I was happy to leave it there. But then I met Cross, the bad boy biker father of one of my wayward students. He makes me yearn for the life I lost, crave all the excitement that used to be my everyday. Makes me want to be a bad girl again, if only for one night.
But I won't go down that road again. It doesn't lead anywhere good.
Cross: Devil's Nightmare MC is biker romance novel, which contains steamy sex scenes and deals with disturbing themes that may be uncomfortable for some readers. Intended for 18+ audiences.
TANK is the sequel to the bestselling biker romance Cross: Devil's Nightmare MC by Lena Bourne, but it can be read as a standalone novel. Full length book, No Cliffhanger, HEA Guaranteed!
***LIMITED TIME BONUS: Get three extra full-length books with your purchase of Tank!***
I always had a thing for redheads, but between their wildness and fiery temper, I kept getting burned. Now that I'm VP of my motorcycle club, my wild and crazy days are over. But I lost none of my taste for redheads. So when Kim, the first redhead I've ever known who can keep her fire hidden behind a cool, though slightly uptight exterior appears in my life, the only sensible thing to do is go after her. Catch her, tame her and maybe even keep her. And she's not resisting either. She wants to be caught.
There's only one problem. I'm an outlaw biker, a killer wanted in five states, and she's the Sheriff's daughter. They say love conquers all, but this might be the exception that proves the rule.
I've always been the good girl. From taking care of my mother and my brother with Down's Syndrome after my dad died, to becoming an internationally-renowned investigative journalist by the age of thirty-two. Now I'm burned out and living at home again, taking care of my frail mother while my step-dad campaigns for county Sheriff. I deserve a break and I deserve to have some fun, not that I've ever let myself enjoy much of either.
When Tank, a bad boy every girl dreams about having at least once, starts chasing me, I decide to do something for myself for a change. What I didn't expect was to fall for him quite so hard. Nor was I ready for the secrets he keeps and how they could destroy my whole family, the one thing I've spent my whole life preventing.

SPARQL 1.1 Update's COPY and MOVE operations let you copy and move triples between named graphs or between the default graph and a named graph. These operations first appeared in the May 2011 SPARQL 1.1 Update draft, but with the recent 0.2.2 snapshot release of Fuseki I find I can try their full range of capabilities a little more than I could with the 0.2.1 incubating release of Fuseki.
The spec's description of COPY and MOVE show that neither truly adds anything to the SPARQL Update language; each is a shortcut to a wordier query request that combines DROP and INSERT operations. I think the new ones will be handy.
To try them, I first ran the update request at http://www.learningsparql.com/examples/ex338.ru in Fuseki to create some data to serve as a baseline. This update request inserts two triples in the default graph, two in the named graph d:g1, and two in the named graph d:g2. Running the query that lists all triples in all graphs got me this (with prefixes substituted for the original base URIs to more easily fit the output on this page):
--------------------------------- | g | s | p | o | ================================= | | d:x | dm:tag | "one" | | | d:x | dm:tag | "two" | | d:g1 | d:x | dm:tag | "three" | | d:g1 | d:x | dm:tag | "four" | | d:g2 | d:x | dm:tag | "five" | | d:g2 | d:x | dm:tag | "six" | ---------------------------------
The COPY operation copies triples from one graph into another, replacing any existing triples in the destination graph. (To quote the spec, "If the destination graph does not exist, it will be created.") The following update request copies the triples from the default graph to graph d:g2:
PREFIX d: <http://learningsparql.com/ns/data#> COPY DEFAULT TO d:g2
Pretty simple. After running it, running the query that lists all graphs and triples shows that the "five" and "six" triples that were in the d:g2 graph are no longer there and that the "one" and "two" triples are there and still in the default graph as well:
--------------------------------- | g | s | p | o | ================================= | | d:x | dm:tag | "one" | | | d:x | dm:tag | "two" | | d:g1 | d:x | dm:tag | "three" | | d:g1 | d:x | dm:tag | "four" | | d:g2 | d:x | dm:tag | "one" | | d:g2 | d:x | dm:tag | "two" | ---------------------------------
The MOVE operation moves triples from one graph to another, also replacing existing triples in the destination graph. Again, if the destination graph doesn't exist, it will be created. The following update request moves the triples in graph d:g2 to graph d:g1:
PREFIX d: <http://learningsparql.com/ns/data#> MOVE d:g2 TO d:g1
When run against the result of the COPY update request above, the result shows that there's nothing left in d:g2 and that d:g1 has the triples that used to be in d:g2:
------------------------------- | g | s | p | o | =============================== | | d:x | dm:tag | "one" | | | d:x | dm:tag | "two" | | d:g1 | d:x | dm:tag | "one" | | d:g1 | d:x | dm:tag | "two" | -------------------------------
You can see more variations on these two operations in the SPARQL 1.1 Test Suite, but the tests are basically different combinations of moving triples between default and named graphs, pre-existing or otherwise.
Like I said, neither of these operations add anything to SPARQL Update that couldn't be done without them, but I would venture a guess that by making it easier to manipulate the relationships between triples and named graphs, the SPARQL Working Group is encouraging developers to use named graphs more as part of their application architectures. I look forward to asking some of them about this at the Semantic Technology and Business conference in San Francisco this week. And now it's off to the airport...

|Easy come, easy go? (Pict source)
2008 was a busy year. Europe and the US were bracing themselves for the first chills of the latest recession to date with the demise of Lehman Brothers and Bernard Madoff, the collapse of toxic loans and burst of the property bubble. It was also the year I got made redundant from my fancy Marketing job in the UK. Yeah 2008 was indeed one of those years.
While all of the above was crescendoing to the fore, Mr Dangerflirt had executed a few ill-advised high-risk moves across the financial chessboard that would bring SocGen, his employer, to the brink of a financial fall from grace. Six years later, does that still stigmatise him as a villain? Not in my eyes nor to those scores of keen supporters gathered along his publicised redemption pilgrimage that took him to and from Rome, where he met Pope Francis.
I do actually like JK as a person, his humility, humanity, dignity and quest for redemption and reinvention. He has learnt from his mistakes and he wholeheartedly accepts his share of responsibility in the financial demise. Having said that, I do not condone his actions as a trader. With the blessing of his industry, his chosen profession intrinsically praises a culture of fast cash at all cost - the dirty side of capitalism. The profession encouraged and incentivised him highly for playing cavalier risk-taker with investment funds that would yield him those juicy bonuses and deliver the sky-high dividends to his employer. While the profits were rolling in, it was win-win for the trader-employer combo. Then sh*t happened.
|Never vanished nor vanquished! (Pict source)
What I do find villainous and hainous is how SocGen, which had allowed for the shady 'best practices' to take place in its offices, was quick to ostracise, victimise and repudiate its flagship trader for those losses. Yesterday's star became a scapegoat, pure and simple. However losses were to be expected as they come hand in hand with the volatility of the territory. As compensation, the highly-strung SocGen demanded that the trader paid back the €4.9 billion losses it had incurred. The decision was later overruled by the courts.
It's been a long drawn-out courtroom drama affair. Today JK faces a 3-year prison sentence once he crosses the Italian border back to France and he has now appealled to the French President for the case to be reviewed, his innocence claim to be heard, witnesses to be guaranted protection and allowed to testify, and his accomplices to be brought to justice. I wonder whether the justice system will decide to finally see eye to eye as it is always easier and more convenient to bring one isolated man down and shut him up than a bunch of top guys from an influent institution that is connected to the smoke screens of stock markets and the lofty world of politics.
|Up in smoke? (Pict source)
Here's a guy fighting a system that made him a star player and unmade him once losses outperformed the wins. These were probably the implicit rules of the game. Off with a Baguette Magique ponder: in order to be both financially and professionally successful, should a trader be nothing short of a financial trickster and a rogue - after all?

Intermountain Cricket League Week 1: Bashers, Hawks claim first victories
The second season of Intermountain Cricket League opened with a cracking start. Here are the recaps of the matches played on April 28:
BASHERS 86/0, SABRECATS 85/7: At Layton, the Salt Lake County Cricket Union chose to bat first on a relatively bouncy and grassy pitch.
Jagdev was Sabrecats' main stay for batting, scoring 18 while captain Nasir added nine. In the bowling department, early inroads were made by Kapil and Dayaker through some very measured and accurate bowling. Rohit, Swadesh and John also chipped in with some useful spells later on and rapped up Salt Lake for 85 in roughly 21 overs.
Layton chased down the total within 12 overs without losing a single wicket.
"Batman Maulish and Umesh showed amazing technique on playing on bouncy surface and a good temperament," Rohit Pathak in an email. "This pitch is definitely tailor made for the bowlers and as the season will progress, it will only get better for batting."
The batting for the Bashers was a mix of aggression and tight defense with Maulish and Umesh leading the way.
HAWKS 191/?, BEEHIVE 190/6: At Salt Lake City, the newest member of the Intermountain Cricket League put up a strong number but fell to the second-year Vincent Hawks.
Adil sattar knocked 79 on 29 balls. Muhammad Tahir and Fahad scored 34 and 29. The Beehive's openers started slowly to give a good start, middle order did well and set a total of 190/6.
The members of the Beehive Cricket Club were clearly upset with some of the decisions made by the referee.
"We worked hard and played fair, but wrong decisions ruined our hard work," Muhammad Shahid Rana of Beehive said in an email. "I suggest league organizers before the league start to have neutral umpires."
Standings W L
Layton Bashers 1 0

There seems to be a rejuvenated energy in me wanting to share more on social media. Whether that be Twitter, Instagram, Blog and even Facebook (which Im still not a huge fan of!) Its been a week since returning from Marrakech (when I started writing this!!) and oddly feels as though Ive been thinking about getting something up on 9to5escapes ever since. My schedule has been a little hectic and having come down with 'man-flu' has taken it out of me for a few days. But, as I write this Im sat in 14A on British Airways flight returning from business trip in France. Travel is something I enjoy but its never quite the same without Emma.
So, anyway, Marrakech, right…?? This is the second consecutive year we have been to Marrakech to run the Marrakech half-marathon. The great thing about Marrakech is that its roughly 3.5 hours flight time (from UK) and you are in a different continent, a wildly different country to European ones. I do often think about how lucky we Europeans are to have so much on our 'doorstep'.
These events are typically held on Sundays so we always try to have a 2/3 days post race day exploring the city we have travelled to. This helps combine a love of running with travel (a little more about this subject shortly..). Having been our second time in Marrakech we decided to book ourselves in to a nice hotel in the New Town. Last time we stayed in a beautiful Riad in the Old Town, which is great and something everyone must experience, but we do like a little luxury! But more importantly at the stage of booking, the hotel was a 2 minute walk from the start/finish! That little extra time in bed is worth a lot!!
The night before race day was as you would expect a little subdued. Not much in the way of beer or wine and stuck to simple eats to ensure we didnt have a dicky tummy the morning of the race. An early night and lots of water, followed by getting up multiple times in the night for a toilet spoiled any attempts at a decent nights sleep!
Its race day, the hotel is buzzing with super fit looking athletes ready to hit the roads of Marrakech. All seemingly analysing everything on the breakfast buffet to determine whether or not its good to have a chunk of cheese, ham etc an hour before the 'gun is fired'. Me on the other hand haven't really got a clue about nutrition so just stuck to what I like. Im not a huge breakfast fan but I do like to get something down before running for a couple hours.
At this time of the morning, the sky is clear, bright and blue but with just a little chill in the air. Perfect running conditions. We jockey in to position waiting nervously to get going….and we are off. Some slow, some fast and some super fast ("ill be seeing you soon.." I think to myself!). As mentioned, we've done this before in Marrakech so knew what to expect. The first few miles ticked away as you head further away from the Old Town, in to beautiful olive groves, before looping back and heading towards the hustle and bustle of the Old Town. This is the bit we dread! Its full of seemingly angry commuters trying to go about their day but being held up by police until a break in the stream of runners appears for them to cross.
The fumes from the obvious old and unmaintained (is that a word!?!) scooters and cars, spitting out god knows what fumes. It really stuck in the back of your throat. At this race, its vital to have water with you the whole way round so you can at least have a swig to clear your throat.
We plough on at a comfortable pace, not aiming to smash any records, but just get around in same time or slightly better as the year before. We cross the finish line and we did well and gave ourselves a good pat on the back. A short walk back to the hotel, shower, changed, pool action, food (lots of it) and beer was needed. The rest of our afternoon consisted of alcohol induced laughter and the odd achey moan about sore hips, knees, feet…the list goes on!
The next day was all about exploring the Old Town, more so than we achieved the year before. For nervous travellers, the experience in the Old Town (Medina) can be daunting. Everyone has heard about the Souks, right?? Well, these are a labyrinth of stalls selling all kinds of wares – stop and browse if you dare! Within 2 minutes you have not one, not two but three people jostling for your attention, thrusting objects in your face ready to start the all important haggle.
Well, this is part where it can and cannot be fun. Some sellers can be quite aggressive, can be obstructive (as in prevent you from leaving their store) and others can just be chilled, calm and 'ready when you are, Sir' approach. Unfortunately, those buried deeper in the Souks tend to be the ones that are the more aggressive. Lets face it, not many travellers will have the nerve to venture too far before it all becomes too much and they have to back out!!!
Truth be told, no matter where you are, the ambitious will always offer you 'free' directions to where you want to go. With this being our second time in Marrakech, you would have thought we would have learnt our lesson! Nope. We we're escorted to all sorts of backstreet locations having been informed of an amazing leather market that only comes to town once per week. We was in for a treat we was told!! Yeah, right…we was hurried along the streets, left, right, another left…before ending up at some guys 'odds and sods' store.
At this point you just need to hold your nerve and just so no thanks and move on. On this occasion, I thrust a small note in the guys hands and firmly said NO. Turned around and tried to make our way out. This is easier said than done. We was wondering around for about 30 mins before we managed to escape the Medina wall for a reference point.
The last few ours of not actually achieving much had severely taken it out of us. We looked for the nearest taxi and went straight back to the safety of the hotel! We was spent…
Perhaps see you again soon Marrakech.

Could You Benefit From Life Coaching?
You may have heard of a life coach, but what is it? Could you really benefit from sitting down and talking with a life coach about your goals and aspirations?
A life coach is a professional trained to work with people just like you to determine what you are great at and how you can develop proven strategies to showcase your talents. The end goal is you being your absolute best self and the ability to power through all of the goals and obstacles that you have in front of you. Sounds great, right?
When you work with someone for life coaching, you will be able to enjoy a range of benefits, including:
– Strategies and various techniques that will help you to reach all of your goals faster
– Clarity for what it is that you want, why you want it and exactly how you can get it
– Bridge the gap between where it is that you are now and where you would like to be
– Overcome any obstacles, cut through low confidence and insecurities
– Dedicated support, encouragement and motivation that you need to be your best and tackle all of your goals
– Exploration and evaluation of every potential option that is out there for you
Basically speaking, life coaching is an investment in you where you can have tremendous benefits for a lifetime. This is more than the equivalent of a gym membership, this is all about you being your best self and equipping yourself with all the tools you need throughout life. In the same way for your business website you need the best seo agency, equally for your life you need the best life coach.
The important thing will be finding the perfect life coach that you are able to connect with, as the more you are able to open up and be honest about your goals, the better your chances will be of having a rewarding experience filled with results.

Warnings and Precautions:
Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease including patients with hypotension or heart block.
Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
Bupivacaine is approved for use at term in obstetrical anesthesia or analgesia.
Category L2 – Limited Data – Probably Compatible

Despite rarely shifting past third gear until Barrie, Ont., we still made good time driving to the cottage last night.
To help pass said time, the Beast read aloud some Yelp restaurant reviews. I can't remember when he first started doing this, but it's something we both enjoy. Whether they are mundane reviews by "Tammy" about the cold biscuits from Red Lobster, or "Ryan" expressing outrage over the small portions at Denny's, they are entertaining—and provide a glimpse of how average, humorous, and outrageous we humans can be.

with india right around the corner i'm not sure how often i'll be able to post, hopefully a post or two more before c15 and i hit the road and if we manage an internet cafe or something in india maybe a post or two from there. so – here's the goings on for the next little bit for us.
right now, michael is in uganda. from uganda he will head to indonesia – arriving home the morning of june 25. the afternoon of june 25th (yes, the same day) c15 and i will head to india. we are traveling as part of the youth team from our church. there are 17 kids and 5 adults going. we are very thankful to God that we are able to experience this, but are also feeling apprehensive. we will spend the first few days in india working on team building and some immersion training to prepare us for the ministry areas we will be involved in. they include:
- wheel chair distribution
- accompanying social workers to the slums
- ministering to HIV infected people and their families
- distributing rations to poverty stricken families
- working in soup kitchens
- visiting youth hostels
- working at a leprosy colony
it's a pretty full itinerary.
while c15 and i are in india, michael,a12 & s9 will be heading to the United States. they arrive July 2 and will get to enjoy fireworks and maybe a cookout!
c15 and I will leave chennai on July 8. we will have a 17 hour layover in bangkok and arrive in dallas on july 9.
july 12 – 17 michael will be the camp pastor at royal family kid's camp. he has been involved with this camp for over 10 years and is very excited that this year c15 will be accompanying him to lend a hand! .
july 19 the whole family will fly to colorado springs returning to dallas july 30. august 3 – 7 s9 will be going to camp thurman – a day camp in arlington. both c15 and a12 have been able to go to this camp and it will be s9's first opportunity. we will be leaving the states on august 8th arriving home in chiang mai august 10th and the kids will begin school august 13th.
it should be fun, busy and most likely exhausting!!

Zephyr, a manufacturer of designer kitchen hoods, wanted to create a compelling exhibit environment to launch a new line of products. A space was composed of staggered walls and overlapping roof panels that gave the space a distinctive architectural feeling. The hoods were shown against crisp white walls and no competing elements to emphasize their striking designs.
brand refinement
We were tasked with auditing the existing visual system and re-designing it to align with their sophisticated technology and innovative product design more closely. A full line catalogue, point of sale materials, and advertising campaigns were designed as a result.

The Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET) was founded in 2004 by philosopher Nick Bostrom and bioethicist James Hughes. Incorporated in the United States as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the IEET is a self-described "technoprogressive think tank" that seeks to contribute to understanding of the likely impact of emerging technologies on individuals and societies by "promoting and publicizing the work of thinkers who examine the social implications of scientific and technological advance". A number of such thinkers are offered honorary positions as IEET Fellows. The institute also aims to influence the development of public policies that distribute the benefits and reduce the risks of technological change.[1]
The IEET works with Humanity Plus (previously known as the World Transhumanist Association), an international non-governmental organization with a similar mission but with an activist rather than academic approach. Humanity Plus was also founded and chaired by Bostrom, and Hughes was formerly its executive director. However, the founders of the IEET argue that it is not a transhumanist organization. Individuals who have accepted appointments as Fellows with the IEET support the institute's mission, but they have expressed a wide range of views about emerging technologies and not all identify themselves as transhumanists.[1]
In late May 2006, the IEET held the Human Enhancement Technologies and Human Rights conference at the Stanford University Law School in Stanford, California.[2]
In early Oct 2012, Kris Notaro became the Managing Director of the IEET.
The IEET along with other progressive organizations is hosting a conference in Dec 2013 at Yale University on giving various species "personhood" rights.
In 2006, the IEET launched the following activities:[3]
The Journal of Evolution and Technology is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies. It covers futurological research into long-term developments in science, technology, and philosophy.
The journal was established in 1998 as the Journal of Transhumanism and obtained its current title in 2004. The editor-in-chief is Russell Blackford.
The origins and activities of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies have elicited various reactions:
That's the curious thing about the folks at the Stanford conference. Some were from the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, an offshoot of the World Transhumanist Association, which advocates the transformation of our species through drugs, "genetic engineering, information technology ... nanotechnology, machine intelligence, uploading, and space colonization." [...] These are weird people with weird ideas. But sometimes it takes a weirdo to see what's odd about what the rest of us call normal. [...] Maybe the cockeyed thinking of transhumanists is what allows them to see the illogic of the way we dope kids with caffeine while banning other stimulants. Maybe that's why they find it odd that we denounce steroids as cheating but ignore athletes who get Lasik or muscle-enhancing surgery. Maybe that's why they look back at the doubling of human life expectancy in the last century and wonder why we shouldn't try to double it again. To our hunter-gatherer ancestors, they figure, we already look posthuman. Meanwhile, they look at cyborg technology and see in it what's human.

The Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies has become in my view, and possibly always was, a stealthy organization seeking to help legitimize the institutional positions and media reputations of key members of the World Transhumanist Organization, the better to increase membership and funding for that and other transhumanists organizations, as well as to mainstream the specific assertions of belief shared by those who identify as "transhumanists" in particular, under cover of a more serious discourse about emerging technoscientific change more generally. There is nothing wrong with such an agenda (even if I don't personally agree with it), although it seems to me that for the same reasons that the WTA website is not likely to achieve, in its explicit transhumanist form, either mainstream or academic respectability any time soon, neither would IEET were its apparently insistent connection to the WTA better known.

Another basket finally finished.
I found a beautiful deep blue cabochon at a flea market months ago
and thought it would be the perfect center for a basket.
Once glued to the backing I decided to use a natural sinew and only
emphasize the blue stone and blue stitches. I just happened to have the perfect
shade of blue sinew, which doesn't happen all the time.
Baskets often have a mind of their own in determining the size and shape.
This one was no exception. I had envisioned a round basket with straight sides,
but as you can see, the sides slightly angled out.
The act of making a basket is my Zen. I love the repetitive motions with enough
change to keep my interest. I sit on my screen porch and am in my happy place.
Here's hoping everyone finds and enjoys their happy place this summer!
Until next time ~

Reginald, bishop of Bath, and the noble men the viscount of Touraine, and Baymond of Heufchatel, who by our advice had come to the territory of Boger de Bediers, for the purpose of obtaining the liberation of our venerable brother the bishop of Alby, and asserted that they were uujustly treated by the noble man the count of Toulouse and other barons who had for ever abjured them ; on which occasion, on their proposing to come into our presence for the defence of their faith if they could have a safe conduct in coming and returning, the said bishop and viscount, fearing lest this stumbling-block might not be revealed to the hearts of the simple, who were imbued with their abominations, and lest they might ascribe it to our distmstfulness if a hearing were refused them, on our behalf and that of the before -named count, granted them the said indulgence, in order that in full security they might present themselves before us, that in the hearing of ourselves and our venerable brother the bishop of Poitiers, the legate of the Apostolic See, and of other discreet men, and of thewhole people, they might be examined, and, if their belief were sound and proper, be approved of by us ; and in order that, after being examined by us, they might still return in security to their homes, that so they might not appear to have been induced by any fear or violence to make confession of the true faith; but however, upon the understanding that if within eight days from the time that our edict had gone forth, they should not have returned to the true faith, they were to be expelled from the territories of the noble men who had abjured them. We therefore thought proper to ratify the indulgence so granted them by the bishop and viscount ; although, as we have mentioned, an ediet had already gone forth from the aforesaid count of Toulouse and other noble men, that they should be expelled from their territories ; and, the said bishop of Poitiers and the before-named count of Toulouse, and other clergy and laymen, about three hundred in number, being assembled with us in the church of Saint Stephen, we enjoined them to explain to us their belief, and, returning to the truth of the Catholic faith, by a healthful confession of the true faith, to remove the infamy which both the whole land and they themselves had by their damnable doctrines incurred. On this, during the conversation that ensued on both sides, they produced a certain paper in which they had written out the articles of their faith, and read it at length just as written.

thanks fro delivering in specified time.
Simple assorted truffle is one of my all time favs. One day I was just scrolling down news feed it is then when I saw the advert by cakezone where they make assorted truffle with decorated box. One thing that was quite impressive was thier duration of delivering the cake which was given three hours. I placed my order. There was no special occassion. It was just my cravings for the particular chocolate. The chocolate was delivered within 2 hours which is very impressive. The packaging was very good and it seemed that no leakage is possible. The decoration on the box was also very attractive. Talking about the taste was mindblowing. The richness of the chocolate was upto the mark. The crunchiness in the cake was perfect. All total the taste was very good more than I expected. Thank you cakezone.

Original post below detailing the changes to The Wastelands, which applies to my metal show, now called Ancient Visionz
Hey all, hope the weekend has been rad. Winter X Games is on atm, which is gnarly, but back to my shows or I'm going to start nerding. For the last month I tried running an experiment with my shows in an effort to increase support. I followed a path of several formats, splitting the shows up into metal editions, punk editions, and so on. Sadly nothing seemed to work.
If you would like to read the original ideas and the reasons behind them, then go to these 2 links: here and here
I want to avoid joining a station unless it is something like what Brutal Existence Radio was, and am trying to stay DIY in-order to retain the mid tier to genuine underground focus, and avoid toning down shows or playing famous big bands that we all know.
The latest ideas and solutions are to go back to my roots with the shows, and separate them into individual shows for both punk and metal, but air them on different days.
