Today marked the end of an era, today I farewelled our old house. I rattled around in its empty rooms, J crawling around at my feet, his excited cries echoing around the walls.
This old house, it was our home for six years. I first walked in its door with a young man I'd just started seeing – he cooked me dinner. After that, I was a regular visitor. I fell in love with its cottage charm, its views down to the valley below and the hills in the distance – all the little houses dotted amongst the green. I also fell in love with the man who lived here. Five months later, I moved in. Continue reading

The Snow Queen Dolls
A few months ago on twitter I promised to the artist (@AMotzler) who made that beautiful Snow Queen tonner doll to show her her own place. Sorry it took me so long to take a pic. 😛
Almost all the small dolls are made by me, nothing compared to the tonner doll, but I had fun making them. 😀

text: groovy nate 61 Posted February 21 Yo, I've been trying to play on the server now for a little bit and I keep getting this error: I've tried several things so far, I've made sure: 1.) I'm not on an experimental branch or any other branch of DayZ that differs from stable. 2.) I've removed all my other mods EXCEPT the "DayZRP Mod Pack" in an ATTEMPT to make sure that maybe that might have been the problem, it was not. 3.) Verified the integrity of my game cache. 4.) Uninstalled and reinstalled both the mod pack and the game itself. No luck. Running out of solutions, so I'm resorting here. Anyone got an answer? Spoiler 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Facebook has said that Russia published around 80,000 posts on its platform between June 2015 and May 2017 in its bid to influence US politics. More surprisingly, these posts may have reached about 126m Americans.
The latest figures released by Facebook are well in excess of the company's initial reported reach of the Russian influence – in fact, 1260 per cent more. At the beginning of this month, the social network said the ads had only reached around 10m people. Now, it seems they may have actually reached close to half of the US voting population.
These updated figures are part of Facebook's written testimony to US lawmakers, obtained by Reuters. The testimony was written ahead of this week's meetings with US congressional committees to discuss the alleged Russian attempts to spread misinformation and fake news in order to sway the result of the 2016 US presidential election. Facebook will be joined in the hearings by both Twitter and Google.
"These actions run counter to Facebook's mission of building community and everything we stand for. And we are determined to do everything we can to address this new threat," said Facebook's general counsel, Colin Stretch, in the testimony.

For Torsten Valeur, 2015 marks the completion of two decades in the renowned group of David Lewis Designers. As a creator of audio luxury for Bang & Olufsen, the Danish designer believes that emotionally enduring design should remain invisible, like a chameleon. For hard-working Torsten, being fluent in the diligent craft of audiovisuals, above all, means taking steps with that very Scandi approach of mutual respect and understanding.
When did David Lewis Designers begin as a household name?
The office was founded by David Whitfield Lewis who moved from London to Copenhagen in the early 1960. He began to design Bang & Olufsen products as an employee at Jacob Jensen and Moldenhawer, then he went solo in late 1975 and founded the studio. I joined in 1995 and years later we made a generation shift that happened sooner than planned due to David's sudden death.
How does timelessness come into play in Bang & Olufsen's design approach? What helps to capture the timelessness element without losing the emotional appeal of a product?
The whole aim is to make audio and video products that bring enduring magical experiences. When you first see a Bang & Olufsen product, you are attracted by its radically different, yet logical audiovisual shape. It's beautiful and desirable. It stands out from the crowd with its own strong personality. In everyday use, it should bring you joy and a feeling of getting more than just fulfilling the basic need - the feel that everything has been taken care of, and there is this little extra. This should stay the same for years making you wish to keep the product forever.
However, it is also about the pride and persistence put into creation and into production of a Bang & Olufsen product. Every single one of us wants to do all we can to achieve the best - this means not compromising due to indifferences and laziness. When you hold the product in your hand, like the BeoRemote One, you automatically sense that it is made with diligence, not sloppiness. Timelessness and emotional appeal are indistinctly related. If a design does not have a strong emotional appeal, it will never become timeless. Timeless is when something is so attractive that it breaks the time it is born in by keeping its attractiveness.
"If a design does not have a strong emotional appeal, it will never become timeless. Timeless is when something is so attractive that it breaks the time it is born in by keeping its attractiveness."
What's your opinion on the recent design movement that has turned towards operating on a 100% transparency policy? How could we possibly make conscious and honest design more attractive to the consumer?
If we have to make every step visible, we might spend too much time telling people what we do, instead of using the time by doing what we really should do. The designing process is not straight and completely rational, going step by step. You have to allow the process to go in circles sometimes because that brings better results. However, I am a big fan of an open dialogue from A to Z between designers, engineers, specialists and others that can participate with knowledge and ways of problem solving. Especially during the later part of the process in which the design is developed to mass production, then is it important to have an open and honest dialogue among the participants.
Who are the key practitioners that you admire?
I tend not to observe what other designers are doing, because designing should never resemble to a closed community activity. Instead, I appreciate creativity that merges across people in parallel work fields. I look up to practitioners that come up with new ideas and break consensus by doing it upside down, yet in a completely logical way.
What personally allures you in the design of soundsystems? What defines the quality of a product?
I am not interested in filling up living rooms with stuff that draw attention by being visually noisy. Rather, I try to respect the idea that every room is the inhabitant's own unique space where they should feel at home. So my aim is that every design should be able to melt into any interior like a chameleon when you don't look at it directly. However, when you look at it directly it should have a strong identity, full of stance and opposition to indifferent products. To be more precise, a speaker must look like a music instrument playing wonderful sound, yet it should melt into the interior and become almost invisible, when it is not in focus.
The [product's] identity is related to being autovisual, which means you should be able to understand it instantly by looking at it. Parameters, such as function, idea, culture and emotions are the ones to be considered.
"'Form follows function' is good but not enough."
What's perhaps the most unexpected place you've drawn inspiration from and referenced in audio design?
The linguistic space. I am not verbal, however, it happened to me that a sentence, which had been taken out of a completely different context, was the inspiration of a speaker we have been designing for a while.
How to make a visually appealing product functional?
Nothing is more frustrating than a product that is difficult to use. I am not patient and do not like to read manuals. I am also frustrated by ergonomic products that can be used in only one way. In reality, it often happens that flexible products are more ergonomic. Sometimes products are designed with a great functional approach, but they end up looking so complicated that you feel that they are complicated to use as well. I believe that the eye and the hand have equal importance to functionality - I try to make things look simple and straightforward, so that they would still be able to work seamlessly. 'Form follows function' is good but not enough. One function can have different forms that all solve the function equally well. It is also important to take history and culture into consideration when shaping a function. Culture determines the perceived expectation of how a given function looks like.
What are your personal tips for slowing down? How important is the role of technology outside the boundaries of your professional life?
I am a strong believer in creativity and inspiration which derive from hard work, but I do find that the breakthrough ideas often come to me when I have a little break during the process. However, you cannot start a project by sitting down and waiting for inspiration, you can only start by starting to work hard.
The moments of inspiration arrive when I watch a movie, listen to music, drink green tea or talk to friends. I think it is when you mentally relax and feel comfortable that you liberate the brain in order to deliver what you are searching for. Stress is the killer of creativity and innovation.
What's the secret of making things work in a creative team? Do you personally consider it hard to compromise?
It's basically the same as if you are playing in a band. You have to be very good at you job, but also listen to what the others are doing and be cooperative as well as individually hard working. As a person, I like to look for a consensus, professionally, I must fight for the right solution all the way. I love to co-work with the right engineers - I fully understand the issues they are facing, yet I challenge them continually with the aim that we together can make the seemingly impossible become possible. You can only do that with mutual respect and understanding.
How important is sustainability for you, both in the design and manufacturing process? Overall, do you reckon sustainability is an important value in Scandinavian design?
Absolutely. Sustainability is important and a part of Scandinavian design's DNA, though not unique for us. A product should have a long lifespan without breaking down prematurely and by having an enduring attractive appeal. A product should also be honest in what it does, how it looks like and the way the materials are used.

Now comes a report, via the Wall Street Journal, that the government has received 25,600 petitions for H-1B skilled-worker visas since April 2. That's a rate twice as high as that for all of April last year. The Journal quotes Seattle business-immigration lawyer Steve Miller: "We're the busiest we have been in four years." The visa program is intended to fill positions where there may be a shortage of qualified citizens, especially in software, engineering and other tech fields. It has also long been a flash point, with critics saying companies are after cheaper labor and Americans lose out. It's a complicated issue. All of America benefits by being a magnet for the world's top talent. On the other hand, if Americans see themselves pushed aside by a less expensive foreign worker, tensions are bound to rise. This is especially true with the economy still millions of jobs short of recovering the losses of the Great Recession and overall wage-growth stagnant for years. I'd be interested in your take, especially if you're affected by the program. The comments field awaits. Trolls go elsewhere.

Product Reviews
I can't say enough how much I like these switches, and most of the ProCurves. We have about a dozen of this model and various other ProCurve switches in our environment. I find them relatively easy to configure, they have been rock solid for us, and they have a lifetime warranty as far as I know. With PoE and LLDP/MED they are a great switch to use with our IP phones. The only negative I can think of is the use of Java in the web admin. It's a PITA when using Chrome to configure a switch...... drop Java!
A very reliable and robust peace of technology. I use it in my small school solution as it is perfect for connecting access points to because of the PoE support. It is also the standard switch at the local government where i did my first internship as a network technician with about 400+ of these or the Gbit model. I would definitely buy these again.

So, here's the issue: "What are the benefits of a enamel whitening pen and why can it be so highly recommended to acquire 1 and utilize it to whiten tooth as an alternative to seeking to do it by buying a pricey plus more elaborate tooth whitening procedure?". Well, the solution is straightforward – a best teeth whitening pen, very affordable and easy to utilize!
A lot of folks are trying to find the very best enamel pen which really performs and it is marketed in a realistic price tag. This whitening solution is incredibly handy since it might be carried completely anywhere and easily suits in a very handbag and even the pocket of your jeans. It is extremely recommendable that you just use your enamel whitening pen 2 times every day and do it on a regular basis for a minimum of a month – the very first improvements in shade are predicted following the first or next week.
It can be incredibly convenient to use a whitening pen. You'll find only a few easy methods you'll want to follow if you'd like to whiten your enamel in fifty percent per month. You should totally brush your enamel simply because usually meals remains on your own enamel will prevent the carbamide or hydrogen peroxide from functioning effectively and it will not have an effect on the foods stains underneath the enamel /on the floor from the dentin layer/ so seriously => it won't be ale to function the way in which it really should. Soon after acquiring brushed your enamel, you should remove the cap of one's pen if it's these a protective particle to avoid the tooth whitening gel from leaking, you need to twist the bottom aspect from the pen or squeeze the gel container alone to make sure that some amount of whitening gel is dispensed. It ought to be thoroughly applied to teeth and that would be the full procedure truly. All of this may take around 4 minutes when you brush your tooth just how you might be recommended to – your whitening pen will still whiten your teeth if you haven't brushed your tooth, however the procedure will gradual down. Gel software requires as much as one min. itself.
Tooth pens have a different excellent characteristic – they can be cost-effective and prices selection between 20 and 80$. An 80 £ enamel whitening pen pack is most frequently an exceptionally advanced whitening products which gel method is more efficient than that of the frequent 50$ pen pack. Pens are frequently bought in packs so you will not need to get 1 each month. In addition there are several promotions, these as – "Buy 4, get four Cost-free!".

Ex-Cowboys WR Brice Butler: How I would utilize Dez Bryant, why I felt like Tony Romo's curse
Former Cowboys WR Brice Butler joined The Ben & Skin Show on 105.3 FM The Fan [KRLD-FM] to talk about his time in Dallas and signing with the Cardinals. Here are some highlights.
On why he went to Arizona:
"Opportunity, man. The opportunity. Seem like it was the best for me to further my career... Free agency was slow for me at the beginning. A lot of people were wondering what was going on in the first few weeks. I was wondering the same thing. It was pretty much quiet for me, and ended up getting new representation and things started going really fast. Had a few teams on the line that wanted to bring me in for some visits and check things out. Between those teams, Arizona was my first visit and me and my new guy felt like Arizona was the best spot for the opportunity..."
On if losing Tony Romo hurt his game:
"I wouldn't classify that as a problem. I would just classify it as a difference. In football everything's about how are you going to adapt and how are you going to respond to adversity. Like you said, when you get an experienced quarterback that's been around for a while they've had experiences and seen things that a younger guy probably hasn't seen in college or within the division. I didn't play with Tony much. I felt like I was like Tony's curse because every time I played with him, he got hurt. My first game I played. he got hurt. And then the next game I played with him was the Seattle game preseason he got hurt. So I always felt like, 'Dang am I the reason Tony's hurt?'
"Tony was like you said, he was the offensive coordinator that played quarterback. He had been around for a while. Just like your job, you've been there for 10-15 years and you know what to do. Y'all are in a radio station, so if the mixer doesn't work right you know how to manipulate and make it work. Or you know how how to throw a headphone into a microphone jack and talk within the year and it'd be a microphone. You know what I'm saying? You know things, and that guy that's new that doesn't, he's just trying to do everything right by the book based on everything his boss told him and he's trying to be successful within that.
"That's any quarterback. That's Aaron Rodgers versus the young guy that had to fill in for him during the season this year. That's any situation where you have a guy that's been there more than 10 years. Dak is going to continue to experience those things and he can end up maturing into that role. Obviously he wasn't doing that during his rookie year. Last year he was doing it more, and over time he's going to continue to do it more. ... All that has to do with experience. It's not about if someone is smarter than the other. It's just experience. Experience just teaches you a lot of things."
On who is good deep threat for the Cowboys:
"I don't know. I know they brought in two new guys, one of them being a speedy guy in Deonte. I don't know him personally but I know he is. I think he's a year or two years older than me. He went to Florida out of college, I think he was there for six years and has been bouncing around for a while. I know he is. I've had my eye on him for a minute and I know he can run. I don't know what kind of season he has last year, but I would think just because he's the fastest in the room that's what they will probably make him."
On how he would use Dez Bryant:
"I would put him in the slot. ... You can move guys around and put them in scenarios that help them win so you know guys strengths or whatever. Dez is a physical receiver. He catches the ball. He doesn't go down. He's trying to get the extra yard. In the slot he can do that a lot easier. Running drags, running little slants in the slot. They put him in the slot a lot last year and the years before and he's successful in there. I would just say put him in the slot. I know route running and David Robinson as receiver coach has been talked about, but all that I feel doesn't really matter especially if you're in the slot. Because now it's just get big on big and bully the guys in there to make your play. So that's what I would do, but I don't know what's going to happen. I hope everybody balls out over there. I love those guys. I love all of them individually. I spoke to those guys before I signed. I talked to Dez about it. I hope they have a great year next year. I hope everybody individually has a great year. That's what I would do. I don't want it to sound that based off what I said I'm spiting anybody. I hope it doesn't come off that way."
On if Sam Bradford was one of the reasons he went to Arizona:
"Yeah it was part of it. Sam is a top quarterback in the league when he's healthy. The whole thing for me in free agency was I had a few teams I thought would be a good fit for me to land if I didn't stay in Dallas. Arizona was one of those teams. The biggest thing was who are they going to get at quarterback? When they got Sam I said, 'OK, asterisk for Arizona. Great place to be.' When it came down to it a few weeks later, finally got a chance to visit them, finally got in contact with them ... So we ran with it."
On why his number wasn't called more in Dallas:
"I really don't know. I've asked people that question that work there and they said the same thing. They don't know. So, don't know. Right after the season obviously I was speculative. When I was on Undisputed I said what I thought. I haven't really thought about it much since it happened. Dallas was a team I thought I could end up being back on. Speaking of Dak and certain guys within the organization. It was never like I knew I was leaving Dallas. Obviously there was a lot of speculation behind what's going to go on in that building. It's been talked about all offseason.
"The deeper I got into free agency and once I had things on the table I was like I gotta do what I gotta do to feed my family so I can't sit here and wait around for things to shake up. But yeah man, I'm excited. I'm excited to be in Arizona. Had a great three years in Dallas. Loved every minute of it, my teammates, the coaches ... I enjoyed it. Being in Dallas the last three years has been great."

By Timothy Cama, The Hill.
Sen. Marco Rubio's presidential campaign fought charges Wednesday that he once endorsed a cap-and-trade system to fight climate change.
The charges came after the surfacing of a video from 2008 that appeared to show Rubio, then Speaker of Florida's House, calling for the state's environmental agency to form a cap-and-trade or tax system for carbon dioxide emissions.
"I'm in favor of giving the Florida Department of Environmental Protection a mandate, that they go out and design a cap-and-trade or a carbon tax program and bring it back to the legislature for ratification sometime in the next two years," he said on a local public-access television program unearthed by the video first reported by Breitbart News.

Today, more and more people complain about sight problems http://www.goods-eu.com/.
This is not surprising, because in the age of technology, we get to use a fairly large number of various gadgets, with which we watch movies or just spend time reading various information on the Internet. All this, sooner or later, can not but affect the state of our eyes, namely, affect the decline in vision. And if an adult can control this process, then, as for youth, especially children, alas, control is alien to them, especially when adults are employed.
And what do we get in the aftermath? A 100% visit to the ophthalmologist, which will most often confirm the reduction in visual acuity and determine the ways to restore it. In most cases, these are glasses or lenses for vision correction.
Stylish Glasses
Glasses are one of the most accessible and practical means to restore vision. Today, the assortment of their frames can satisfy any buyer, and making, perhaps not the most pleasant process of constant glasses wearing, is very stylish and emphasize your individual style. Today even people with absolute vision wear glasses just to supplement their image and give it a certain individual style. For the manufacture of glasses today use new advanced materials, thanks to which you can choose for yourself a frame of any shape and from any material. It can be a good quality metal, even exclusive precious metals such as gold and silver are used to make exclusive frames.
For the manufacture of children's frames use a special material, such as soft plastic. This is a very convenient and practical material for the child. The shapes and colors of the frames amaze with their assortment.
From classic strict to bright and stylish, their shapes can also be chosen for your style and taste and even encrusted with precious stones, today this is not at all a problem. Glasses or special polymers for them can also be selected individually for any taste and style, the usual transparent, chameleon or darkened perfectly underline your individuality, and the materials used to make spectacle lenses today are distinguished by their practicality and high quality.
Contact lenses
If you still are not a supporter of extra accessories or just simply a practical person, but you need a vision correction, then an excellent option for you can be contact lenses. In everyday life, this wonderful alternative to points came in the 50's and is widely used today. Contact lenses today are used as a substitute for glasses, and also as an accessory, with which you can even change the color of the eyes that are widely used by women of fashion. If you can not decide the choice between contact lenses and glasses, feel free to choose lenses.
The only small disadvantage among all the advantages of using them is the initial addiction, since the lens itself represents a certain foreign body, to which your body will certainly react, but that the process of installation and wearing them went well you just need to carefully consider the choice of lenses and how to install them , observing all the rules and sequences, this will not give you any discomfort. Lenses, like glasses, you need to select individually, taking into account you need diopters personally. But unlike glasses, no one will even guess that you have vision problems. Another huge plus of contact lenses is that you can wear them anywhere and under anything, and this will not affect your style and image in any way. To properly choose the lenses you need after a visit to the doctor, take a trial version of yourself, so you can try and determine exactly what you need to correct the vision, and after that you can safely acquire the necessary quality option. In professional clinics this is how the selection of lenses or glasses for vision correction is carried out.
But if you really be frank, then choosing between contact lenses and glasses, most certainly prefer lenses. Therefore, take care of your health and restore your vision with convenient, comfortable means for you.

Viacom (VIAB - Get Report) said on Tuesday that it had acquired Argentine Spanish-language network Televisión Federal, or Telefe, from telecommunications provider Telefónica (TEF - Get Report) for $345 million.
The move, funded through Viacom's cash on hand, expands the New York company's efforts in Argentina and Latin America in general. Telefe reaches about 95% of Argentina's households, Viacom said in a statement, and produces seven of the 10 most popular local programs in the country.
"Telefe is an outstanding broadcast and production business, and this acquisition will accelerate our growth strategy in Argentina, one of the most advanced and valuable media markets in Latin America," Viacom acting CEO Bob Bakish said in the statement.
Bakish is the former head of Viacom's International Media Networks, giving him what should be a healthy insight into the company's operations outside the U.S. Viacom appointed him as acting CEO late last month, although he only formally took over the reins Tuesday.
Rumors of a potential deal for Telefe have been circulating for several weeks, with sources telling Bloomberg earlier in the month that Viacom beat out media company Time Warner (TWX) and entertainment conglomerate Cisneros Group for the network.
Wells Fargo analyst Marci Ryvicker said in an investor report on Tuesday that while the agreement itself wasn't much of a surprise, the use of cash to fund the deal rather than debt was curious.
"Recall Moody's downgraded [Viacom's] debt to Baa3 from Baa2 on [Sept. 22] on a softer operating performance and elevated leverage (gross leverage was 4.0x as of [the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016], vs. the company target of 3.0x)," Ryvicker noted.
The move to buy Telefe comes as Viacom is embroiled in talks to recombine with television broadcaster CBS (CBS - Get Report) .
CBS and Viacom originally split in 2005. The companies have been considering recombining in the past months after their mutual controlling shareholder, National Amusements, sent a letter urging the companies to look into a deal. National Amusements holds a roughly 80% stake in both companies and is pushing Viacom and CBS to consider an all-stock transaction.
The companies are heeding National Amusements' request; last month, Viacom and CBS appointed special committees to consider a deal. The Wall Street Journal reported recently that CBS has hired banks Goldman Sachs and Moelis to advise the company on a potential merger, citing sources.
Although CBS CEO Leslie Moonves said in the company's third-quarter conference call earlier this month that talks are in "very early stages," Viacom shareholders said recently that a merger agreement could be reached as early as Thanksgiving, the New York Post reported.
Jefferies said in an Oct. 31 analyst note that naming Bakish as acting CEO could indicate that the CBS deal is "still on track, giving the board some flexibility while also showing a commitment to Bakish."
BMO Capital Markets on Nov. 9, meanwhile, noted that Viacom's management hasn't offered any tangible update on the CBS transaction. "We continue to believe CBS has greater leverage in any merger negotiations and remain cautious on Viacom fundamentals, especially domestic advertising," the firm said.
A deal to buy one of Argentina's most popular television networks could make the company a more attractive target for CBS. The company also recently cut its quarterly dividend to 20 cents per share from 40 cents, which has freed up cash to make deals such as the one with Telefónica.
Viacom stock was down 0.9% Tuesday afternoon to $38.50. Telefónica's American Depositary Receipts were off 3.6% to $8.61. CBS shares Tuesday were up 0.7% to $59.26.
Viacom declined additional comment on the deal. CBS declined to comment on the Viacom deal talks.

I'm not Deaf but i took some pretty extensive ASL classes from teachers who were. It ended up helping me a lot because I can be non-verbal during panic attacks.
I don't know the answer to the question but I can say that knowing even a little sign has helped me in emergency situations. I didn't take the classes for that reason. But.. it helped, a lot.

The Markles are going to England! According to a new report, Meghan Markle's parents, Doria Ragland and Thomas Markle, will travel to the UK later this month for their daughter's Baptism into the Church of England. Doria will allegedly fly abroad from California while Thomas will travel from his home in Mexico, The Sunday Times newspaper has reported.
The former Suits star, 36, has reportedly asked Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to perform the private ceremony at London's Kensington Palace. If Meghan's dad, Thomas, does travel to England for the special event, it will be the first time he meets his future son-in-law, Prince Harry. Following her November 2017 engagement to Harry, 33, Meghan revealed her fiancé had "talked to my dad a few times, hasn't been able to meet him just yet."
Shortly after Harry popped the question late last year, the royal's Communications Secretary Jason Knauf confirmed to People that Meghan would be formally baptized into the Church of England before the couple's Saturday, May 19 wedding. Meghan was actually raised Episcopalian, which is her dad's religion. Her mother, Doria, is Protestant. Since Harry's very famous grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, holds the official religious role of Supreme Governor of the Church of England, it is necessary for Meghan to be baptized before she says "I Do" with Harry.
According to the Church of England's official website, the ceremony for an adult baptism may "involve water being poured on your head at the font, or the church may have a special pool and you will be fully immersed in the water. However it happens, it's a great occasion, full of joy." Though Kate Middleton had been baptized in the church as a child, the Duchess of Cambridge had to be confirmed in a special ceremony before she married Prince William back in 2011.

[PRESS] FutureFreqs - "Messages" YourEDM Post
Another humbling post from YourEDM about the newest FutureFreq's track, "Messages." The response of this project has been incredible to say the least. This track has a very personal meaning to all of us because as a collaborative group living in different parts of the world, we haven't actually met face to face. So our sole means of communication has been through a stream of social media messages and conversations. In this sense, we have become dependent upon social media and the internet and our attempt to make a bigger statement about this situation that has become a prevalent thing amongst our generation. YourEDM gave the track an average rating of 8.8 -- Not too shabby. ;D
Check out the article below!!
FutureFreqs are back with their second live track, going by the name of "Messages." The three members of the "band" have never actually met face-to-face, and so this track is very relevant to the group itself. According to the band, this track was "inspired by the dependency of social media and the Interwebz."

In the Iraq war, the U.S. military staged a new century's most dazzling show the battlefield. The war in the United States military forces beyond the conventional approach to the world was impressed, so many military experts stunned, address him read. But the United States and British forces has been able to drive straight, quick, armored units should be established combat and rendered meritorious. No M1A1, Challenger II, M2A2, M2A3 tanks and Warrior armored vehicles and other large ground-fast attack: the U.S. the British would not be in such a short period of time to win a decisive victory.
Looking battlefield confrontation, the Chinese-made Iraqi tanks 69 tanks against the allied forces under the almost vulnerable, destroyed Iraqi tanks and armored forces, indeed, greatly shocked to high-level Chinese military. The face of the twenty-first century high-tech military technology and equipment, particularly the Army's main battle tanks and equipment, not to catch up with the pace of the world, it very difficult to adapt to modern warfare.
Development of main battle tanks, is to enhance Army combat an urgent task. After half a century of efforts, China's main battle tank technology has made great progress, from initial development to be developed by copying the world's advanced level of main battle tanks. For a long time, our tanks traces of imitation of the former Soviet heavy tanks, until recent years gradually from the former Soviet Union, mortar nests, a Chinese flavor becomes concentrated. A new type of 88B, 88C (96-type) and 98 tanks is clear evidence of this. In particular, the Type 98 main battle tanks in firepower, mobility and protection of the unity achieved very good, with very good technical and tactical, the famous British "Jane's Defense Weekly," said the Type 98 is the world's most advanced tanks is also one of China's most advanced main battle tanks.
China 99 new style tanks, known as China's Marine ace of the third generation main battle tanks. She is proud of China's defense industry, with superior ballistic shape, its turrets and body are of composite armor, bullet-proof improved several times, is our military armored divisions and mechanized infantry division of the main assault force.
99 tanks main advantages are:
1, superior firepower
99 125MM guns firing kinetic energy penetrators in time, penetrate 1100MM of homogeneous steel armor, and artillery for the Leopard 2 L55120MM 960MM, 120MM artillery of the U.S. M1A2 is 910MM, so that 99-style firepower in the world.
Second, an advanced protective armor is equivalent to the first 99 600MM of homogeneous armor, reactive armor installed after the equivalent of 960MM homogeneous armor, Leopard 2 is 750MM, United States 720MM. 99 protection is quite good.
Third, superior maneuverability 99 1000 hp engine, the maximum speed of 65KM / H, although not excellent, but 99 changes in the upgrade to 1500 horsepower, maximum speed upgraded to 80KM / H is almost the limit for the three generations of tanks, the world's first .
4, advanced fire control: Some people say Japan 90 tank fire first, but after reading Beijing Defense Exhibition, the myth has been completely reversed! North study of the fire control system with automatic tracking and closed-loop, real world. 99 very advanced fire control will have been reached or exceeded the world's advanced level (88B are dynamic on the move 90%)!
In summary, the third-generation main battle tanks around the world in the rankings, China ranked second after the United States should no one would dare say that lying to.
However, China's military elite never far behind, and according to reliable sources and foreign military intelligence said: Following China's officially out 99 tanks installed after the People's Liberation Army, its next-generation (fourth generation) of all composite materials research for the CN-code M's new concept has surfaced tanks, according to relevant experts, the new tank along the extensive use of carbon fiber composite material La, vehicle total of 25 tons, using the new dual-cam engine ramjet engine, maximum power of 3800 hp speed up 180KM / h, 0 ~ 100KM accelerated time only 8S, the world's highest dynamic system indicators, is daunting.
CN-M pre-armor thickness 580MM, 1350MM the homogeneous equivalent thickness of steel, plug-needle armor explosive reaction, so that the defensive capacity of vehicle an unprecedented level. Turret at the top of cone design, high-intensity C60 polymer laying tile explosion can effectively fight against anti-tank missile hit the top attacks.
CN-M with closed-loop adaptive self-loading machine, shells can be filled at any point of view, filling time of 80 rounds / sec. CN-M uses a W99 type storm machine gun (Beitan 50,000 rounds), the maximum rate of fire of 100 rounds / second turret on each side of eight infrared smoke generator. Roof is equipped with two laser dazzling against the system, with the vehicle laser radar can simultaneously track 48 moving targets, and automatically select the 16 most dangerous targets for interference.
CN-M tanks with advanced laser stabilization, fire control system, its turret left rear of the combined quantum optical systems, including laser thermal imager and laser rangefinder. It appears that our tanks have night vision capabilities night aiming revolutionary progress.
CN-M tank battlefield using advanced data sharing system, you can tank up to 2048 simultaneously, and also to exchange of battlefield information, through the vehicle speed embedded computers for distributed computing, network, may decide by a computer distribution and control tanks fire their state of motion .
CN-M tank is expected to be the first official series in 2015 mounted troops, the army will be fighting countries would have a profound impact way, the U.S., Germany, China plans new generation of tanks of deep concern, and actively seeks to address the Road, look forward to the future with the opponent's combat luminescence lose too hard.

Ok, the bull deserved another rest and it did a soft landing on the pasture. Price is still above the 5 MA which is bullish.
As far as I'm concerned, the market is in very bullish mode. In fact, after hour SP500 is up 10+ points already.
Well, the big elephant today is the collapse of $DMRC price in the wake of a massive short-attack. I've to admit that this was quite an organized effort that involved orchestrating a giant buzz that called for shorts from all walk of lives to join the bandwagon.
"Come on over, shorts the h*ll out of this over-valued stock!"
"$5.4 million Revenue? Loss of $4.5 million! Market Cap: 200.39M!!! OMG!!! So over-valued!!! Short! Short! Short!"
"Hey, Walmart's CEO instagram did not mention Digimarc. It might not be Digimarc! I'm shorting too!"
"OMG! The tree is falling! It's going to $10 or lower! I'm shorting too!"
I've to admit that I watched the whole debacle with amazement. No, I did not sell a single share 'cause I'm in this for the long haul and have no intention to let the short-sellers tell me what to do. Remember, I bought $DMRC in the main port which is a cash account. Thus, I'm not subjected to any margin call whatsoever. It is my opinion today action was the shorts attempt to force a walk-down on price to create a panic of long investors so they can cover from the continued trend.
Remember that this is a low float stock; thus when a lot of people are shorting, the price "should" drop like a rock in a short-time frame. Instead the stock price was falling in a stair-step fashion. This could only happen because there were buyers in every step on the way down. It just so happen that there were more people shorting/selling at each step than buyers; thus a gradual step-by-step downward movement.
Take a look at the 5 min. chart below:
There were four occasions (see the four circles) where buyers exceeded sellers which created small bounces. And because short-sellers from everywhere were coming over to pile on the shorts not knowing what they were getting themselves into except to hear those sound bites mentioned above. It was like a feeding frenzy.
Believe me or not, there were buyers picking up shares during the whole trading day. My hope is that these were buyers from old and new investors picking up more shares and NOT the short-sellers covering. In fact, I sold some $AKAO to buy more $DMRC when price looked so attractive in the mid-20s. IF the majority of the short-sellers did not cover today; then we can expect to see a big bounce coming. The shorts SHOULD have covered today but their greed might have stayed their hand 'cause they were looking for $10 or lower.
Remember how we sometimes see a stock rallied strong during the day but gave back most gain the next day? Well, this is exactly the same thing except in reverse. Once the shorts find no follow-thru tomorrow, most of them would start stampede out of the door to grab profit before it disappeared.
The collateral damage today would be those who got shaken out of their shares today due to either margin call, stops getting triggered, or simply panic selling.
Due to my conviction, I was actually quite calm during the whole debacle. Listen/read the earnings transcript again, the progress is real and Bruce simply could not give out revenues projection without an adoption confirmation by the big box retailers/private label. This is an event play thru and thru.
"What event?" The newbie shorts want to know.
An event that the long investors expect the big box retailers/private labels to adopt the Digimarc barcode.
"I don't think so" the short retorted.
Then ask yourself why did Digimarc plan to hire another 10 employees by the end of the year after adding 16 more last quarter?
Also, Bruce mentioned that their booth at the January Big Retail show will be 3x larger than the one they had last year. Wegmans was in their booth last year, who do you think is joining Digimarc booth that is going to be 3x larger?
Here is another one for you, what made Bruce said the following in the earnings update:
"I believe we are in the right place of the right time with Digimarc Discover and Barcode, the barcode of everything. Retailer desperately need help wining in their stores by building digital relationships with their customers at the point of purchase. Discover offers much broader engagement proving a seamless shopping experience of scales effortlessly and globally across every brands impression in the shoppers increasingly mobile."
Here is the message to the shorts: You may win the day with your attack but have you covered yet? If not, you better watch for the bull behind you!
Notice price bounced off the support at the $24 level.
Still holding long and strong with more shares added today.

Main port: DMRC, AKAO, IBIO, BIOC, AMRN Trading port: ARTH

Barrington topples Schaumburg to become playoff eligible
As Barrington and Schaumburg got ready to battle in their Mid-Suburban West matchup at Gary Scholz Stadium each realized the importance of gaining a key fifth win on the season that would give them playoff eligibility.
Thanks to a pair of momentum-changing plays the visiting Broncos held off the host Saxons 27-13 to earn that fifth win.
In addition, as a result of the 45 playoff points Barrington has accumulated through Week 8 with the possibility of gaining 2-6 more points next week the victory serves as more of a virtual clinching of a playoff spot.
"We were able to swiftly respond to what Schaumburg did," Broncos head coach Joe Sanchez said. "We were able to create quick scoring opportunities through our efforts on both sides of ball."
It was through a pair of game-changing twists that provided the margin of victory for the visitors (5-3, 2-2). With Barrington ahead 10-7 and the home team driving deep into Bronco territory, the defense produced a key turnover when Dayven Shinhoster recovered a Schaumburg fumble at the Barrington 16 that came off a Sam Sheedy hit of a Saxon receiver at the 20 which came at the end of a 13-yard completion with just over 5 minutes gone by in the third quarter.
Thirteen seconds later junior wideout E.J. Darlington took a handoff from quarterback Tommy Fitzpatrick and went around the right side scurrying 84 yards to put Barrington ahead 17-7.
"He's one of the fastest guys I've ever played with," Fitzpatrick said of the 5 -- foot-10 junior who totaled 116 yards rushing and receiving. "He has this unbelievable vision to create big plays whenever he gets the ball."
However, it would take successful twist of fate to seal the deal as the Broncos were clinging to a 20-13 advantage when an attempted run on a fake punt by Schaumburg's Heze Trotter on a fourth-and-2 at the Saxon 39 came up a yard short with 6:49 to play leaving Varrington at the hosts' 40-yard line where 3 plays later Fitzpatrick shook off a blitzing defender to go 37 yards for the clincher. The Barrington junior signalcaller finished the night with 110 yards on 15 carries as the Bronco attack churned 398 yards of total offense, 336 on the ground.
"We were successfully able to make a quick turnaround from playing both Friday and Saturday by having a strong week of practices," Fitzpatrick said.
A sixth win at home versus Palatine on Friday would officially clinch Barrington a playoff spot and a higher seed.
For the Saxons (4-4, 1-3) a second shot at eligibility awaits as they travel to Fremd for the second consecutive season looking for their fifth win.
"The playoffs begin a week early for us," Schaumburg head coach Mark Stilling said. "We will be ready to play."
