Marsh Walk History
Hushpuppies were perfected in Murrells Inlet . It's the place where local and visitors have reported a meeting with local ghosts. Murrells Inlet was named by the post office in 1913 and the origin of this name remains a mystery.
The history includes Native American tribes, 16th century Spanish explorers and English colonists. By the 1800s successful rice plantations were producing almost 47 million pounds of rice and were more successful than the tobacco and cotton plantations of the Southeast.
People who visited Murrells Inlet in the 1800s traveled by steamboat and docked at the Wachesaw River Landing. The river steamboats were known for excellent food and many of the steamboats' cooks settled in Murrells Inlet, giving the area a reputation for savory cuisine long ago.

Kenya's national HIV prevalence rate of 5.6 percent is driven by subgroups within the general population that engage in high-risk sexual and drug-related HIV risk behaviour (KAIS 2012). These include sex workers and their clients, men who have sex with men, prisoners, and injecting drug users. People who inject drugs, men who have sex with men and those who give or receive money or favours for sex are at highest risk of HIV infection (KAIS 2012).
Kenya experiences a mixed epidemic (both generalized and concentrated). As of 2012, about 1,200,000 million people between the ages of 15 and 64 were living with HIV and the national HIV prevalence rate was 5.6 percent (KAIS Preliminary report 2012). The generalized epidemic is driven by serodiscordance, unprotected sex, multiple or concurrent partnerships, low male circumcision (MC) rates among some cultural groups, and unawareness of HIV status. The concentrated epidemic is driven by subgroups that engage in high risk sexual behaviour, such as unprotected anal or vaginal sex, and drug-related HIV risk behaviour, such as unsafe injection practices. These subgroups include SWs and their clients,men who have sex with men (MSM), prisoners, and injecting drug users (IDUs).
It has been estimated that nearly half of all new infections in 2008 were transmitted through heterosexual sex in the context of steady relationships, and 20 per cent during casual heterosexual sex. Moreover, high HIV prevalence among some most at risk populations, including sex workers, injecting drug users (IDUs), and men who have sex with men (MSM), have been found. Altogether, these groups are estimated to have contributed a third of all new HIV infections in Kenya in 2008 (National AIDS Control Council [NACC], 2009). However, this may be an under-estimate, as it does not take into account upstream sources of infection among those in steady relationships. Other groups considered to be most at risk of HIV infection in Kenya include truck drivers and cross-border mobile populations.
Among KPs, female SWs and their clients account for 14 percent of new HIV infections in Kenya. Female SWs' high incidence of HIV is as a result of their high-risk sexual behaviour (unprotected sex, frequency and number of sexual clients, anal intercourse, dry sex, and substance use). Sex workers in general not only have a higher risk of transmitting and acquiring HIV and STIs than the general population, but also are hard-to-reach members of society. Factors that increase SWs' vulnerability to HIV and STIs and that make it difficult for SWs to access services include the following:
- Stigmatization and marginalization by health and program staff create barriers for SWs to access health and social services.
- Punitive and restrictive legislation and policies hinder the ability of SWs to access voluntary and confidential health information and services.
- SWs often lack resources and economic opportunities.
- Gender, economic, and power inequalities limit the ability of SWs to negotiate safer sexual practices (such as condom use) and encourage SWs to engage in unsafe sexual behaviours (such as unprotected vaginal sex).
- High geographic mobility interrupts SWs' access to health care and increases the number of sexual networks per SW, which might also increase the rate of HIV transmission within the country.
- Health care services are generally not addressed, acceptable, accessible, or affordable to male and female SWs.9. 10, 11
Programs for the prevention, care, and treatment of HIV and STIs need to be developed (and existing programs need to be tailored) to reach and address the particular needs of these KPs effectively. As members of society, SWs must have access to the same health care services as other members of society, in accordance with their rights as human beings. For these programs to be effective, program management, planning, and implementation must be a participatory process – that is, SWs must be involved. A participatory process builds consensus and ownership of the programs and empowers SWs to seek services and to advocate for their health care and human rights. Their involvement also helps sustain the programs, because it gives SWs a vested interest in the success of the programs.

I saw your face yesterday,
wonders of modern ultrasound.
You pursed your mouth, suckling for a second
and then you opened your eyes…
what a sight that was, for me to see that!
All this through ultrasound…
I always say you don't really move
or I don't feel you moving as much as I
feel I ought to feel you moving
but who knows…this is a first time for both of us.
The tech said you were kneeing me
but I did not feel it
and they said you looked good. Healthy.
Good, I thought.
I am amazed at our journey, little one,
and I cannot wait to meet you soon.
So, the OB, the radiologist and the tech finally decided on a due date. I thought we had one all along but, apparently, there was a bit of discrepancy so after a brief discussion, we all came to a consensus. Let's see what you'll have to say. I was actually contemplating adding Preemie diapers to my registry then I opted not to simply because I am not trying to put that out there in the universe. They did say you were measuring about a week and a half out from my gestational date (They assured me this is normal – give or take 2 weeks or so).
I did my gestational diabetes test and, funny thing, I did not mind the orange drink. It had been chilled for the last 4 weeks and when your Aunt Gee came to get me from work to take me to my appointment, I downed it in about 2 minutes. It tasted like Fanta to me, and I love sugar so it wasn't sickeningly sweet as it had been described to me. What I did not like was the subsequent headache after. I had eaten a large breakfast (French Toast with eggs and sausage) and then I had thrown back a fruit smoothie then I fasted from 1300 to drink time at 1400 then I had my blood drawn at 1530 (they ran late because I had a trainee and a new doc examining me – I did not mind because we did a longer than normal ultrasound). The doc printed out the 'face' picture for me but, I don't know, yene mar, it looks more like a blurry pic of Mars taken from Venus. I was pleased that they confirmed that your feet are laid up under my right boob – I swore up and down that I could feel your feet grazing me right there! Yes, you are still upside down. You have been upside down for a while now. Your head seems to be in my knees, for real. The probe was being shoved right into my vagina practically! I suppose I ought to be happy that you are head down but I am not ready for you yet. I haven't put your crib together yet!
No results shared from the glucose test yet but the doc's assistant told me she would call if there was anything wrong. I now have to start going to the doctor every 2 weeks. Yikes.
Your papa is getting his stuff ready and my Mayi may be able to come and help out. She just has to apply for a visa!
Ok, here are my notables:
|How far along:
|28 weeks today.
|Boy…still. We saw your penis in the ultrasound, just to make sure…
|Weight gain:
|17 lbs.
|Maternity clothes:
|My jumpsuit still fits! And I am still in love with my maxi dress. I do need some 'office' wear clothes for the next 3 months for my new job!
|It's not bad at all. I considered a body pillow then went against it. Doing well with my three pillows so far.
|Best moment this month:
|Seeing you moving in my belly!
|Worst moment this month:
|When I panicked about not feeling you move for like two days…urg
|I did a registry at Target and at Babies R Us but I am so not sure what I can actually put on there. I had a little moment at BRU when I was like how many bottles do I need, what about nipples….slow flow vs medium flow…natural shape bottle or classic…oy. I had to take a step back!
|Miss anything:
|Miss being able to stand up normally. Now I find myself doing cat-cow poses whenever I need to stand up. I cannot even roll out of bed easily anymore…
|It has been great. I know you are doing more in there than is registering for me in terms of feel and sight.
|All I have been wanting is meat. Unagi, beef, chicken. And loving the smoothie and fresh juice life!
|Queasy or sick:
|I have been okay, had cramps a bit last week but other than that, I am okay.
|Looking forward to:
|Getting that apartment! Decorating my apartment and your little nook that I have set aside for you. Having your papa get his stuff processed!

Each year, thousands of American women are affected by gestational diabetes.
Gestational diabetes increases the risk of health complications for both the baby and the mother. There are a variety of ways available for treating this type of diabetes, however, it is important for doctors to stay vigilant to reduce the risk of pregnancy complications. In this article we will discuss the various birth injuries that can result from mismanagement of gestational diabetes.
Complications for the Baby
If gestational diabetes is left undiagnosed, unchecked or untreated, there are various health complications that can affect the baby during pregnancy and the rest of his/her life.
Preterm birth: A mother who has gestational diabetes has the risk of going into labor before the due date, because of high blood sugar. In some cases, such as when the infant is large, the medical care provider may recommend inducing labor. Preterm births may increase the risk of baby developing complications such as respiratory distress syndrome, and may require assistance breathing. Mothers with gestational diabetes are more likely to give birth to a baby with respiratory distress syndrome even if the baby is born on time.
Hypoglycemia: Women with gestational diabetes are at a higher risk of giving birth to a baby with low blood sugar-hypoglycemia, due to high insulin production. If left untreated, it can lead to seizures.
Large birth weight: The high glucose levels in mother's blood can trigger the baby's pancreas to produce too much insulin. This can cause the infant to grow too large, the condition known as fetal macrosomia. This increases the chances of a C-section and birth injury.
Type 2 diabetes: Babies who mothers suffered from gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and becoming obese later in life.
Complications for the Mother
Diabetes: Gestational diabetes usually goes away after pregnancy, however, it increases the risk of the mother developing this condition again in future pregnancies, and it can also increase the risk of type 2 diabetes later in life. However, lifestyle changes can help reduce this risk.
Preclampsia and high blood pressure: Gestational diabetes also increases the risk of high blood pressure and preclampsia in mother. These are serious conditions and can be fatal for both the mother and the baby.
Treatment of Gestational Diabetes
When a pregnant woman is diagnosed with gestational diabetes, her blood sugar levels should be monitored constantly (even multiple times during the day). Making dietary changes is an important part of controlling blood sugar levels. Regular exercise is also advised to manage gestational diabetes. Nearly 10-20 percent of women with gestational diabetes have to take insulin injections or other types of oral medications.
Failure to diagnose, monitor, or treat gestational diabetes can lead to the aforementioned health complications for both the mother and child. When a doctor or other medical professional is negligent, they need to be held responsible for the harm they cause.

Hi I'm Donna Amos, the founder of Soloprenuer Solutions, LLC, and if you ever asked yourself:
- "How can I get more clients?"
- "How can I persuade someone to work with me?"
- "How can I get more traffic to my website and convert them into new business?"
- "How can I use today's marketing strategies for my business growth?"
Or if you've ever just needed someone else to do something for you or to give you marketing guidance then…You're in the RIGHT place!
I understand the struggles of being a solopreneur. My first business failed miserably. I learned from that failure and my second business took me about two years to figure out my processes and then implement them consistently. My second business was direct marketing for business to business clients where we developed sales letters and then did the telemarketing behind those letters. After 10 years I thought I would go into real estate. My first year in real estate was not so good. I was really struggling with the fact that I couldn't get it together. Then I attend an intensive sales training program (which I didn't think I really needed) I came away from that program with huge "ah ha's" and my career took off.
Four years later I moved into management and took over a sales office with forty sales agents. Here I was again, asking myself what am I doing. I could not figure out why I could not motivate the agents to take action. I began looking for a solution and came across coaching. I decided to become a coach. This made a huge difference in my career again. It comes down to not being afraid to challenge myself and learn what I did not know so I could accomplish the job in front of me. After coaching real estate agents and managers, and clients outside of real estate since 2002, I left the real estate industry in 2008 and launched Solopreneur Solutions, LLC. I use my experiences, training, and coaching to help others grow successful businesses.
In 2008 I was a solopreneur today I have a small team of 6 allowing us to serve more clients. Our mission is to provide the best customer service or hand-holding that our client's need to be successful.
If you need to develop effective business and marketing plans; create sales strategies and systems to manage your business with ease I would love to help you. On the other hand, if you just need someone to do the marketing for you I can do that as well.
I believe you can achieve anything you truly want to achieve. "It might sound trite, but time and time again, I've seen it happen with my clients. They overcome the fear of exposing themselves to the possibility of failure to creating profitable exciting businesses. My clients do great work, and sometimes it only takes someone else believing in them to give them the confidence to step out and take the chance."
"The best gift we can give another is a word of encouragement." Donna
A little history you may not know about me:
I wrote my first book in third grade titled "Pokey" about a pony and that is all I remember about it. LOL
My first car was a 1965 Mustang convertible which was given to me by my uncle. Seems to be a pony theme. I had a lot of fun with friends in that car.
I have experienced the same mistake twice. In 1993 I realized I had put all of my eggs in one basket focusing on one large client. Then we had a falling out and I was left to scramble to save my business. I vowed to never do that again, but then in 2016, I did it again. I had a very large non-profit that we were providing social media services to 110 chapters across the country, then they lost their funding in 2017 and I lost the business. This is devastating as I had to let four employees and two subcontractors go. It took all of 2018 to recover. I pray I have finally learned this lesson, don't put all of your eggs in one basket.
I feel truly blessed to have discovered you, Donna! You are such a gift. Your friendly and caring personal attention combined with organized, clear and focused strategies and support materials have made a huge impact in my business already … and we're not even at the half-way mark yet! I always knew how to be a great graphic designer but had never fully learned how to be a business person. I had gathered scattered bits and pieces picked up over the 20 years I was in business but hadn't *quite* managed to merge into something focused and streamlined. I don't need to reinvent the wheel or to feel repelled by the nuts and bolts of running a business. Your step-by-step process is exactly what I had been searching for to bring it all together and fill in the gaps … and more importantly, to provide CLARITY and a sense of EASE. Each time I hang up from our calls I feel like I'm glowing with enthusiasm and positive expectancy … the kind that's so valuable in moving forwards and creating positive change. And the bottom line is … I *see* it in my business. I'm clear and I know exactly what to do. My clients tell me they notice it and that it gives *them* a sense of ease! You have provided me with a system which allows me to relax and do what I do best, to create beautiful, soulful visuals for people. There are a million words I could throw out there to describe you … savvy, supportive, nurturing, insightful, encouraging, fun, kind, knowledgeable … but suffice it to say, "THANK YOU!" Col www.designbymuse.com
Let's schedule a time to discuss you and your business to determine if we are a good match.

- Mark + Emily | Engaged
longer I live in Richmond, VA…. also known as "RVA"… the more I love it! I've been shooting a lot of Richmond engagement sessions recently and I have come to find that Richmond has it all. We have hills, water, old architecture, cobblestone streets, murals, etc. The list goes on and on! I'm a lucky photographer to live in a city that I love to photograph! It's so much fun to shoot close to home and I absolutely loved shooting Mark and Emily's sessions in Richmond last week because not only do they love Richmond as well, they fell in love here!!
Their first date and start of their relationship really began around the VCU area and more specifically, the cathedral. So naturally, we started there! It was a perfect afternoon. After a weekend of rain and clouds, the skies opened up for us and we had the most beautiful light to work with! Mark and Emily couldn't be easier to work with. As soon as we started, I knew this was a perfect match and there is nothing more exciting for a wedding photographer than to know you're working with your ideal clients.

McConnell also promised to confirm more judicial nominees in the near future, continuing Trump's crusade to fill the courts with principled conservative judges.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has assured Republicans that Kavanaugh will not be torpedoed by an unsubstantiated 35-year-old sexual assault allegation. "We're going to plow right through it," he told supporters at the Values Voters Summit on Friday.
Unwavering in his support of Kavanaugh, the Senate leader said "President Trump has nominated a stunningly successful individual," while asking his fellow colleagues to "wait out the obstruction" that Democrats have forged.
"You've watched the fight. You've watched the tactics. But here's what I want to tell you: in the very near future, Judge Kavanaugh will be on the United States Supreme Court," said McConnell, prompting the crowd to thunderously applaud.
The Senate Majority Leader asked that people not lose heart and "keep the faith."

Want to make a punch for your summer party but aren't sure where to start? I have a refreshing crowd-pleasing recipe all set for you below! Last weekend, I participated in Art Beyond The Glass(ABTG)–a yearly charity event hosted by LA's bartenders. Founders Daniel Djang and Zahra Bates organized ABTG so that everything from the cocktails to the art and music was created and performed by bartenders. Proceeds from every ABTG event are donated to a local arts-based charity.
This year, I partnered with STOLEN to showcase their award-winning rums in a quaffable punch that would hydrate party-goers throughout the hot day. Their Smoked Rum is aged for up to two years in used American oak whiskey barrels. Because it's infused with Colombian Arabica coffee, Madagascan vanilla beans, and Moroccan fenugreek, it's already complex enough on its own. My aim was to add fresh vibrant juices to let the spirits shine. You can read more about STOLEN Smoked Rum and STOLEN Overproof Rum HERE.
The great thing about punches is that you can take this 5 oz recipe and multiply it by however many servings you would like. For your convenience, I've also included a 60-serving recipe PLUS shopping list! This punch looks lovely and lasts much longer over large block ice. Easily make your own by placing water in a plastic food container and freezing overnight. You could even add flowers to it too!
Pinch This Punch
(Single Serving Size)
1 oz Stolen Smoked Rum
.5 oz Stolen Overproof Rum
1 oz Pineapple syrup
.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1 oz Fresh Watermelon Juice
.5 oz Darjeeling cold brew tea
.25 oz Topo Chico(or other sparkling water)
(60 Servings)
60 oz Stolen Smoked Rum
30 oz Stolen Overproof Rum
60 oz Pineapple syrup
45 oz Fresh Lime Juice
60 oz Fresh Watermelon Juice
30 oz Darjeeling cold brew tea
about 15 oz Topo Chico (or other sparkling water) *add to taste*
Watermelon Punch Bowl/Juice:
I own more punch bowls than is healthy for one person. For this event, I chose to use a watermelon as the serving vessel! I was going to need a watermelon for juice regardless, and it was one less thing I had to keep track of or worry about breaking. It was actually MUCH easier than I thought it would be to carve and it made a great conversation piece too!
I'd recommend setting down paper or towels before you begin this process, because it is quite messy!
- With a classic boning knife, make zig zag cuts near the top of the watermelon. Try to push the knife in at least 3-4 inches as you make the cuts. This will help cut the inside flesh enabling you to pry the "top" off easier. The small watermelon pictured was obviously much easier than the large beheamoth I used for the event.
- Once you are all the way around, so will want to gently pry up each side and take a chef's knife to cut into the flesh completely through. Do this until you reach completely around the watermelon and the top will pop off.
- Once the top is off, scrape the remaining flesh off and set aside. Remove the interior flesh by scooping out with a large ice cream scoop or similar.
- Once all the flesh and juice is out of the watermelon, you can rinse it with cool water and set aside.
- If you have a juice extractor, you can use that for the watermelon juice. Alternately, you can use a blender and strain the pulp out. I also saved the pulp to eat later with a little honey. It's a yummy snack!
Pineapple Syrup:
- Prepare a 2:1 cane sugar syrup by combining 10 oz water with 20 oz cane sugar. You can speed up the process by combining these in a saucepan and stirring frequently over med-low heat. Don't boil it, as we're not making a carmelized syrup. After all the sugar crystals are melted, set aside to cool completely and cut your pineapple.
- Cut pineapple into 2″ chunks. Place chunks in a container and cover with cooled syrup. If you have an airtight container, simply place it on the top. If not, place a piece of plastic wrap firming over the container opening.
- Let this mixture sit overnight (at ambient air temp of around 75-85 degrees) at least 12 hours, preferably 24. Strain through chinois or sieve and store in a clean labeled container.
Darjeeling Cold Brew Tea:
- Weigh out 20g of loose leaf tea for every 30 oz of water. The goal is to make a bold tasting tea just before it becomes dark and tannic. Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil and immediately pour over the tea. Set a timer for 9 minutes. Strain into a clean labeled container and cool.
Shopping list for 60 serving size:
-3 bottles STOLEN Smoked Rum(you'll have some leftover)
-3 bottles STOLEN Overproof Rum(you'll have some leftover)
-3 pineapples
-4 lbs cane sugar
-1 large watermelon
-50 medium sized limes
-20g Darjeeling loose leaf tea
-15 oz Topo Chico(or other sparkling water)

If there's one thing that Revolution has managed to do well so far, it is in its depiction of how the consequences of the blackout have transformed people into who they are now. It's certainly true for Miles (Billy Burke) and Monroe (David Lyons), and as we find out in 'Soul Train,' the blackout had a profound effect on the personality and ambition of Captain Tom Neville (Giancarlo Esposito), who, fifteen years prior was at the mercy of his much younger boss, his criminal-looking neighbor and, most of all, his own emotions. By the way it's depicted by the flashbacks, the blackout was Neville's rise to prominence and the path to becoming the man he may have always wished he could be.
However interesting the genesis of Captain Tom Neville may be for the audience, it does illustrate how the stakes of the game seem to be higher for those who lived a significant amount of time before the blackout. Beyond some generally unlikable qualities, perhaps this is why Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) and Danny (Graham Rogers) have not been able to strike much of a chord with the audience so far: they're a couple of blank slates. Right now, the objective is for Charlie to rescue Danny, and that's kept the series going up to this point, but triumph or fail, there'll still be the issue of what their stake in all of this is once that is no longer a goal.
It's pretty easy to see the actual revolution aspect of the show being the future of the series more so, perhaps, than the question of why or how the lights went out – and definitely more so than Miles and Charlie constantly chasing after Danny. After all, with Rachel's (Elizabeth Mitchell) reveal of just how many pendants are out there, it's not really the question of why, any longer; it's the race to be first to control the power once it's back on.
While Eric Kripke and his writers are working to define Charlie by making Danny's abduction her trial by fire, it might be time for her to start implementing what she's learned before it's too late to turn back, as audience sentiment toward the character is clearly very low.
But that's certainly not the case when it comes to Neville – being on Breaking Bad has its perks. We caught a glimpse into the life of Neville while he and Danny were waiting for a tornado to pass in last week's 'The Plague Dogs,' and it seemed like Neville would largely remain an enigma, and maybe dole out bits of his past in quiet moments, or when he's attempting to pacify a potentially explosive situation. It certainly worked on Danny last week, as he managed to manipulate the boy into saving his life. But that's not to be the case, as the curtain is pulled back on Neville to reveal a man who clearly relishes not only violence, but also the power it grants him over those weaker, or not as skilled as he. That, of course, leads to a scene where he beats Danny up, simply to prove his power over the boy.
But, as the episode's title suggests, there's a train to catch. It seems the militia has itself a locomotive, and the plan is to transport Danny and several high-ranking militia officials to Philadelphia, the capital of the Monroe Republic. That makes this a target of some importance to Nora (Daniella Alonso) and her rebellion buddies – of which Jeff Fahey (Lost) is apparently one. Nora's desire to blow up a train full of militiamen puts her at odds with Miles' timetable in finding Danny. While he and Charlie search Noblesville, Nora prepares a bomb and manages to get it planted without being detected. Charlie, on the other hand, runs into Neville who quickly figures out just what she's doing there. This leads to nice face-off between Miles and Neville, which, frankly didn't seem that likely to happen this early in the season.
Miles offers not Nate (J.D. Pardo) in exchange for Danny, to which Neville scoffs, even though we'll soon find out just how much Neville was bluffing. But for the moment, the interaction between the two speaks to the deeper implications of Miles having been the commanding general before apparently just walking away. While the circumstances of his exit remain a mystery, Miles' reputation and mere presence is enough that Neville moves the train's departure up considerably. And here we learn just how important Nate is. After escaping from Miles and Charlie, he's back with Neville, in a trench coat that seems to signify he holds a high rank, and we even see him openly questioning his commanding officer. It's clear that something is going on, and by the way the episode paints the picture of the man Neville once was, we soon learn that nepotism is a powerful force in the Monroe Militia.
Of course, 'Soul Train' saves the reveal that Nate is actually Nevillle's son Jason for the end of the episode when Tom is finally reunited with his wife, but the hints – like disobeying a direct order without reprisal – were there. That's in reference to the train sequence where Miles and Charlie split up to dispose of the bomb and rescue Danny, respectively. It's a no win situation for Miles, as the thought of Charlie dealing with an explosive is just as bad as her pulling Danny from the clutches of Neville. Though the siblings manage to briefly gain the upper hand, the tables are turned when Jason arrives and, instead of handing Charlie over to his father, tosses her from the train.
It's a huge setback for the group. Danny is now in the hands of Monroe, hundreds of miles away, and Jeff Fahey has stabbed Nora for having second thoughts about blowing up the train. There were several interesting possibilities a different ending could have explored, but we'll just have to settle with Charlie developing a steely demeanor in the wake of losing her brother once more. Let's see if this setback leads to more progression of Charlie's character.
Revolution continues in two weeks with 'Sex and Drugs' @10pm on NBC. Check out a preview of the episode below:

Everything melted away at the touch of his lips, at the hardness of his body molded to hers. His desire coursed through her and muted everything else, swamping her anger and purging her tears. Wrapped around it she felt his uncertainty. His conviction that he was unworthy of her. The self-loathing she had misread as revulsion directed at her. She had been so wrong.
The kiss burned its way through her body, whispering in tongues of flame, telling her everything. That he wanted her. Needed her. That only his own doubts had held him back. How he had seen her as beautiful, without flaw, but so far beyond his reach he saw no reason to try.
He shook as he held her. Still afraid of rejection, still afraid she could not, would never, feel for him as he did for her.
Fresh tears filled her eyes. "Oh, Keir…"
He broke the kiss then, drew back, fear etched across his face. But he did not let go.
She brushed her hand against his cheek, saw hope ease the uncertainty from his eyes.
"Forgive me, Quin," he whispered, his voice low.
She smiled then reached for his hand, held it tight in her own. Without another word she led him inside.

Glaucoma is an eye condition that can develop causing damage to the optic nerve (in early stages) or even blindness if not treated. It is the result of too much fluid pressure building up inside of the eye. It tends to be inherited and may not show up until later in life.
If damage to the optic nerve from high eye pressure continues, glaucoma will cause loss of vision. Without treatment, glaucoma can cause total permanent blindness within a few years.
Because most people with glaucoma have no early symptoms or pain from this increased pressure, it is important to see your ophthalmologist regularly so that glaucoma can be diagnosed and treated before long-term visual loss occurs.
If you are over the age of 45 and if you have a family history of glaucoma, you should have an eye exam with an ophthalmologist every year. If you have health problems such as diabetes or a family history of glaucoma or are at risk for other eye diseases, you may need to visit your eye doctor more frequently.
Glaucoma is a very treatable condition and catching it early can make a huge difference in the ultimate visual outcome.

To help others you need to have something they don't. If we are to help others in this world and make a difference we need to have something they don't. We must be different. As Paul said in Romans 12:2 we must not conform to the world, but must be transformed. That transformation starts with the "renewing of your mind." It starts with the way we think. If we are going to make a difference, we must think different than the world around us.
The world thinks that "seeing is believing," but 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "we live by faith, not by sight." We cannot see God, but we believe he is there. We do not see life after death, but we believe eternal life is real and is promised to us in Christ. We do not believe blindly. There is solid evidence that our God is real. But in the end, faith is critical. Faith is essential for us to have peace and hope. There will be times in our lives when God seems absent. What sustains us and enables us to stand firm in peace is faith. God has proven himself and so we trust him, even when we can't see him in our circumstances.
Faith is also essential to the fact that we live for a different world. Though we cannot see that eternal kingdom, we know because of God's promises and the resurrection of Jesus that it is real. That hope changes everything. That we have our eyes on the eternal kingdom gives us reason to make sacrifices in this world, to be at peace when we suffer loss, and to live for completely different priorities and values than the world around us.
But the most dramatic difference in the way a Christian thinks is in the fact that we believe God is the center of life. Romans 12:1 calls us to off our bodies as "living sacrifices" to God. Why would one sacrifice oneself? Because all of life is about God, not about me. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, "whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." Human nature revolves around self. But the Christian mind is so very different. It believes that the reason we exist is to glorify God, and that ought to be the purpose of our lives. How this changes the equation. If we are mistreated by others how will we respond? If life is about me, I must right the wrong, I must make sure the perpetrator is punished. But if life is about God's glory, then my goal will be to bring him honor in the way I respond to the situation. When life hands me a disappointment the same thing will apply. My focus is not that I get what I want but that I bring God glory, no matter what happens. That is a very different way to think. But it means that no matter what happens I can pursue and fulfill the reason for my existence. Therefore every moment, no matter how good or bad, can be full of purpose and hope. And that's a very different way to live.

THE Egyptian government is basking in the unfamiliar glow of approval from the international financial community for its economic reforms.
The World Bank has endorsed the steps taken to restructure the public sector and privatise state-owned assets, and the IMF says Egypt is substantially on target in its monetary and fiscal policies. These votes of confidence should be sufficient to allow the third and final tranche of a $10,000 million Paris Club debt relief package signed in 1991 to go through in July.
But the success in stabilising the economy through tight fiscal and monetary policies is only part of the long-range effort to tackle structural weaknesses and allow Egypt to achieve the strong growth rates vital to increase employment and raise living standards.
Crucial issue
Without a significant rise in private investment and more progress in the slow-moving privatisation programme, the goal of higher growth will be difficult to attain. The crucial issue, in the view of many Cairo business people, is to provide sufficient new investment channels before the huge liquidity surplus in the banking system starts to endanger the whole reform process.
The positive indicators the government can cite as proof of its success include the reduction in the budget deficit for fiscal year 1993/94, which ends on 30 June, to just 2.5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP). That has helped bring inflation down. Consumer prices in February 1994 were 7.3 per cent higher than in February 1993. The average inflation rate over that 12-month period was 11.3 per cent.
The government has announced a modestly expansionary budget for 1994/95, with spending set to increase by about 7.5 per cent, roughly in line with inflation. Business people say they hope any spending increase will be effectively used, along with the $600 million Social Fund, to improve the living standards of the poor.
'The benefits of the reform process have not trickled down to the average Egyptian,' says Omar Mahanna, corporate finance chief of Misr Iran Development Bank, and an active member of the liberal political grouping New Civic Forum. Only by directing extra spending towards social services and job creation will these benefits be felt by the majority of the population, he says.
The hard years of reform have taken their toll, as poorer Egyptian households have had to pay ever-increasing bills for their electricity, water, food and clothing while wage increases have lagged behind inflation and unemployment has risen inexorably.
The widespread perception of falling living standards is borne out by the macroeconomic data. Real economic growth has been lower than 1 per cent for the past three years, while the population has increased at an annual rate of over 2 per cent. The government predicts economic growth will rise to about 2 per cent in 1993/94, and to 3-4 per cent the following year. Significantly higher growth rates in subsequent years will be needed to induce any general sense of prosperity.
The chief concern of Cairo business people as the economy starts to shift into a stronger growth phase is the enormous surplus of liquidity that has built up in the banking system. There are fears that this surplus, put at about £E 4,400 million could drive interest rates down to the point where the flow of funds into Egyptian pounds is rapidly reversed. This would put heavy pressure on the local currency and test the resolve of the Central Bank of Egypt.
The liquidity has built up over the past two years because of the strong movement of funds into Egyptian pounds, attracted by a large interest rate differential in favour of the local currency. The reference points for interest rates have been the regular auctions of six-month treasury bills. Rates on the bills have come down close to 13 per cent, from a high of 19 per cent, as the central bank has reduced the frequency of its issues. With US interest rates starting to edge upwards, the differential in favour of the Egyptian pound is steadily being eroded.
An added worry for bankers is the apparent commitment of the government to maintaining the stability of the Egyptian pound, which has only lost a fraction of its value against the dollar in the past three years.
The importance of exchange rate stability is often overstated, according to Rafiq Sowellam, head of foreign exchange operations at the Economy Ministry. 'People emphasise stability as a sign of success – as a professional economist, I challenge this,' says Sowellam. This view is echoed by bankers who say they believe the Egyptian pound is being kept artificially strong for political rather than strictly economic reasons.
Flight of funds
The fear expressed by some bankers is that a failure to address the liquidity issue will result in a flight of funds out of Egyptian pounds into dollars. 'If the exchange rate begins to nose-dive, the central bank's $16 billion reserves could be used up very quickly,' says the manager of one joint- venture bank.
The key to absorbing the excess liquidity in the banking system will be to bring on to the market new financial instruments, in particular long-term treasury bonds, corporate bonds and shares in privatised companies, bought directly or through participation in investment funds. The stirrings of life in the securities market suggest that a solution to the liquidity problem may be at hand.


text: I received my Kemper last Wednsday. I bought a new one from Musicians Friend, unpowered Head in black with the footswitch/controller. I've played it a bunch, read the manuals and watched the tutorials. I loaded the software on my computer, sync'd with the head, bought some profiles and set up the foot switch. I have the Kemper going straight into my powered mixer. It's a pro-grade set up as the mixer is high powered and the speakers pro quality. I'm not using any other effects but what I can pull out of the kemper. I will post some pics later. Bottom line: All the things other people have said about this being revolutionary change is correct. The factory loaded profiles and the additional profiles I ordered are outstanding. You literally have professionals dialing in your tone from just about every iconic amp, cab and pedal out there. I've got some great, truly amazing amps, and my jaw dropped after playing the kemper. There are little to no compromises and most people, me included, are challenged to dial in such perfection. The good: I could rave about this all day. First off, the amp arrived updated with the latest firmware upgrade. Yeah! I went through every factory preset...over 200 of them. There were dozens I loved. All the iconic Marshall, Fender, and Vox profiles are there. Beyond that, Dumble, Soldano, Engl, Mesa, Bogner, Diezal, Carvin.... even Egnator are there. Setting up and tweaking rigs is intuitive and easy. The footswitch is feature rich and you can configure it with five patches per song or as I do it by tonal family....British, American , etc. Best of all, the variety of tones and quality are pro quality. It's an amazing tool. To me the footswitch was expensive. I was on the fence. No more - the footswitch is a must. It's very easy to connect and set up. You can control effects, the looper, patch selection, and tuner. In performance mode you can set up to five patches per song. It's amazing because of the versatility of the amp. That's a great feature for a working and gigging musician. I advise you to bite the bullet and get the footswitch. Considering how well it works, how intuitive it is, I now think it's well worth the money. I'm glad I bought the unpowered Head. I was going to buy a powered head and a FRFR cab. I decided since my live sound rig is so good I'd use that. I did try it briefly through my Friedman BE loop into the Friedman 4x12 cab. It sounded great but it colored the tone. The Bad: None. I thought it was pricey before the purchase but now that I have it I can see how it actually saves money and time. It's well worth the cash. I did read comments about the "amp in the room" sound being absent. I'm not noticing that but again I have superb live sound set up. The one thing I will say is you have to read the manual and watch the online tutorials. Going at it cold turkey will fuck you up. But after reading the manuals and watching a few tutorials it all came together quickly. Invest the 1 hour. Road ahead: Kemper is a game changer. Pro grade tones, by the Titanic boatload are now at your finger tips. The tweaking is minor. It will save the typical guy hours. It's light weight, easy to use, and tones to die for. All the messing around with cabs, speakers pedals, and even tube heads is now a thing of the past. I've decided I'm going to sell off most of my amps and focus on guitars. Staying for sure are my 3 Engl's — other than that I will be moving most of my kit next year. I will post some pics tonight. 5 Stars!

Band Hero--One of two music games coming in November, this game comes out November 1st for 360, PS3, PS2, DS and the Wii. It's totting itself as Guitar Hero fun for the whole family. I do know it has an extensive song list, with 65 Top-Forty songs and the ability to import more songs from the other Guitar Hero games. Players will be able to drop in and out, much like Guitar Hero 5. Honestly, I'll pass. Rhythm games are not my thing, but I do predict it will sell well with families, especially on the Wii. If you already have Guitar Hero and Rock Band then you should wait until Goozex can get you this game.
Lego Rock Band—Unfortunately, I know very little about this game. It is coming for Wii, PS3, and 360 on November 3rd. It's nothing more than a "family friendly" rock band game with Legos. The Legos can be used to customize their avatars, vehicles, and rock dens. There will also be Lego-themed challenges. Does that mean building things or knocking them down? It seems the presence of Iggy Pop and David Bowie are there to make it more "rockable." If I had to pick between the two, Band Hero and Lego Rock Band, I might actually pick the latter since it is something different. Anyways, unless you have small children, just wait for Goozex.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is Game of the Year material and it is making its way onto the PS3, PC, and 360. Just from the trailers every gamer knows this is going to be a great game. It has everything you love about the Call of Duty Series and more. It comes out in early November. I cannot wait to play the Special Ops mode, which is similar to the final mission in COD 4, "Mile High Club." The multiplayer elements are going to be mind blowing. My prediction is Modern Warfare 2 is going to be a must-have for the Holiday season. Do not wait for this game on Goozex as you will have to wait many months.
Assassin's Creed 2--This game comes out for the PS3, PC, DS, and the Xbox 360. The first game was one of my least favorite games of 2007. The previews for the sequel show an interesting game but I am worried about length. After 6 hours is that going to be it? Is the new setting, Renaissance Italy, and the new game play features like dual assassination blades and flying machines, be enough for gamers? The game slashes onto shelves on November 17th. My thoughts are unless you loved the first game wait for Goozex to bring it to you.
New Super Mario Brothers--It is time to dust off my Wii. This wondrous take on the old comes out November 15th for the Wii. Featuring 4 player co-op and 2d Game play, I can dig this. There are mushroom propellers and a penguin suit. What? No frog suit or metal helmet!? I like that Yoshi is back but I'm worried how well the 4 player co-op will work out. The game is built around the idea of working together, so what if you have ornery friends or the AI is terrible? For a gamer like me, this means the TV will meet my Wii mote. In the end, if you are a hardcore fan and are in the mindset that I gotta-have- every Mario-game, grab this game as it comes out.
Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles--I am going to buy this on launch day, the 27th of November. As a big fan of Resident Evil, I want no mistake that I need to have this game. Reason 1, it comes with the Wii Zapper. The second reason to own this game is that you get to blast zombies with Claire and Leon as they travel back through Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code Veronica. Like Umbrella Chronicles, Wesker will make an appearance and this will just make me want to drag out my Dreamcast or my Playstation. Co-op rail shooter with Zombies- what else do gamers need over Christmas break? If you don't like Resident Evil or rail shooters, then wait for it on Goozex.

President Barack Obama attempts to name everyone who's been killed on Game of Thrones in a new video.
The video is for Buzzfeed and aims to remind people to register to vote in the forthcoming US election.
Such a shame he can't serve a third term. This president is just too cool (I say this from the UK where out politicians are currently setting themselves on fire and dancing).
Oh, and can you name all the characters that have been killed on Game of Thrones?

PACT Guardian Angel – ongoing
By becoming a PACT Guardian Angel you are able to virtually adopt your favourite rescue for R50 (or more) a day! That means, that you can adopt a rescue for a day, a week or even a month. Whatever your pocket can afford, we are grateful. In return, you'll receive photos, updates about your sponsored pet and a beautiful Virtual Adoption Certificate.
The sad reality is that nothing is free and we are stretched in many different directions. Kennels are kind to allow us to pay R50 per day per dog for boarding. But it costs us a lot. So even if someone adopts for just a week it makes a huge difference to us.
Today Miss Pepper is looking for her forever friend or her PACT Guardian Angel.
Miss Pepper is our darling Africanis girl. We found her and her baby running in the middle of a busy road. She was so skinny and her baby was barely visible so motorists literally drove over her. She is just a year old and is super friendly and loving. She is good with cats and dogs and children and she's ready for her new life.
To adopt Pepper, you can call 0730054275 or 0711721400.
To become Pepper's Guardian Angel, please email email@example.com on how to get started
You won't change the world by saving one animal, but you will change the life of that animal. And that makes it worth the while.

Catch-Up Film Review: Jackie
"I Never Wanted Fame, I Just Became A Kennedy…"
Of the many Oscar nominated movies this year, there are still are few which have managed to slip by my eager eyes even after the conclusion of the ceremony on Sunday, one which ended in a somewhat controversial yet wholly hilarious fashion of course and one which ended up with a final tally of zero wins for Pablo Larraín's first English speaking movie in the form of Jackie, a cinematic adaptation of the life of First Lady Jackie Kennedy, one which focuses primarily on events within her life directly after the infamous assassination of her husband John F. Kennedy in 1963. With critical success all around and a barnstorming level of hype regarding the performance of Natalie Portman in the leading role, Jackie is yet another case of a film this year which suffers from the remarkable amount of reputation which precedes it, and whilst films such as Moonlight, at least on second view, and La La Land are examples of movies which stood up and deserved the many plaudits propelling them forward, Jackie is indeed a solid body of work with some superb individual elements, but ultimately a movie which is not as memorable or exciting as many that have preceded its' release this year.
Of the most impressive elements of Jackie, Natalie Portman in the leading role is of course as superb as you would expect, with her performance a strangely captivating depiction of one of the most famous faces of the mid 20th century and one which almost requires the audience to tune their ear in order to distinguish performer from performance, particularly in regards to an accent and tone of voice which is extremely peculiar to say the least and actually requires an immediate referral to YouTube in order to find out whether the real Jackie Kennedy actually spoke in such a manner. Alongside Portman, composer Mica Levi continues her supermassive success in Under the Skin with an equally eerie soundtrack, one which succinctly captures the sense of strangeness of a post-assassination life of Jackie Kennedy whilst also seeming entirely out of place, with it having a sense of belonging to a knuckle-biting horror flick instead in a surrealist Lynchian-esque conundrum. Whilst these individual elements are impressive, the winding narrative of the movie becomes mildly dwindling after a while where the second half of the movie doesn't carry the immediate captivation of the first, resulting in a very solid adaptation of one of the most respected First Lady's to ever grace the White House.
Overall Score: 7/10
Film Review: Patriots Day
"We Got Multiple Explosions. We Need Help Down Here..!"
Of the many cinematic pleasures within 2016, Peter Berg's Deepwater Horizon was a surprisingly entertaining thrill-ride, utilising the on-screen likeability of Mark Wahlberg to helm a dramatisation of one of the 21st centuries' most infamous accidental disasters in a vein both poignant and wholly respectful. Whilst the one-two pairing of Wahlberg and Peter Berg shared mild success previously with Lone Survivor, the release of Deepwater Horizon last year has ultimately pushed the duo into a formidable partnership, returning this year with yet another live-action adaptation of a high-profile disaster in the form of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, a recent example of terrorism action within the United States. With a supporting cast featuring the likes of Kevin Bacon, J.K. Simmons and John Goodman, Patriots Day is a thrilling continuation of the Berg's recent cinematic success, creating a sometimes breathtaking drama which mixes white-knuckle tension, Michael Mann-esque action set pieces and an effective screenplay which amalgamates a wide range of on-screen depictions of many who were involved in the events which occurred during that terrifying day almost four years ago.
In terms of differences between the previous works of the successful duo, unlike in Lone Survivor and Deepwater Horizon where Wahlberg portrayed real-life characters, Patriots Day allows the Boston-born A-Lister to fill his boots with a strictly composite character, created to not only fill certain narrative gaps throughout the movie, but also act as the walking cinematic guide for the audience, seemingly being wherever the high-octane events take place as often and as quickly as possible. Whilst the film uses its' leading stars to a somewhat solid degree, the frighteningly startling and wholly believable pairing of Alex Wolff and Themo Melikidze as terrorist brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev are the real stars of the show, using their intimidating capabilities to create one of the tensest scenes of the year so far in which they carjack and threaten to kill the life of a Chinese U.S national in a manner similar to feel and tone of a similarly haunting scene within last year's Nocturnal Animals. Concluding with interviews with the true survivors and heroes of Boston, Patriots Day follows in a similar vein to Deepwater Horizon by not only being a entertaining body of work but by being one which is entirely respectful too.
Overall Score: 8/10
Film Review: Sully: Miracle on the Hudson
"No One Warned Us. No One Said "You're Going To Lose Both Engines At A Lower Altitude Than Any Jet In History"…"
No guys, Clint Eastwood's latest isn't a continuation of the Monsters Inc. character but instead a biographical drama based upon the extraordinary events that took place on 15th January 2009 when US Airways Flight 1549 was miraculously landed upon the Hudson River by pilots Chelsey Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles after a bird strike had completely destroyed both the left and right engines, leaving them in the air with no thrust and little chance to return to ground safely. Such a remarkable and historical achievement was inevitably set to hit the big screens sooner rather than later and what Eastwood has accomplished with Sully is creating a gripping and intelligently played drama which tackles not only the experience of Captain Sully's landing but the repercussions of it too. With Tom Hanks performing effortlessly in the lead role as the titular Sully, Eastwood's latest is indeed a hit, albeit suffering from some minor issues which prevent it from being up there with his best work as a director.
Inevitably, the fundamental narrative that fluctuates throughout Sully is a gripping enough plot in itself to catch the eye of even the least cinematically viable audience with a good, uplifting heroic story being the mark of a bankable picture, particularly when you have the reliable hands of Hanks as your movies' star, and whilst the movie skips between the past and the present of our titular hero, the most effective parts of the movie take place during the films' big set pieces, primarily the landing itself as well as the discussions that take place afterwards where although the narrative is hyped up completely to function as the drama, still manages to work, even if Eastwood manages to make every single journalist and white collar worker look like the villains of the piece. What the film didn't need however was the cringey CGI crash scenes which took place inside the traumatised mind of our hero which completely reverses the effect of the movie and removes it from the subtle and understated nature of a film like Spotlight and instead becomes more of a popcorn movie as a result. Of course, popcorn movie goodness is not entirely a bad thing and whilst Sully does manage to come away as an effective telling of an incredible achievement within recent history, it isn't really anything more than that, but, as with anything with Tom Hanks in, Sully is still an enjoyable and well made drama.
Overall Score: 7/10
Film Review: Danny Collins
Back In The Saddle
The Godfather. Heat. Dog Day Afternoon. Scarface. Al Pacino has had one heck of a career wouldn't you say? His portrayal as Micheal Corleone in The Godfather Trilogy is undeniably one of the greatest on-screen portrayals of a character I think I have ever seen where we witness the transformation of a reluctant war-hero in Part One to the all-out evil, if tragic, crime lord in Part Two. I could go on all day about Pacino's filmography so far but for now it is time to concentrate on his latest offering, Danny Collins, a comedy/drama featuring Annette Bening (American Beauty), Jennifer Garner (Dallas Buyers Club) and Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire). With the recent Pacino offerings which have been let's say, not exactly brilliant, I went into Danny Collins hoping it was a return to form and its' fair to say, Pacino is back once again.
When aging rock-star Danny Collins (Pacino) receives a letter written to him by John Lennon in the early 1970's, he decides to change his repetitive, drug-infused, cash-ridden lifestyle for the better and repair past mistakes which have haunted him for years including his son, Tom (Cannavale) of whom he has disregarded for the past 30 years. There is a line in Danny Collins in which the titular character states that he hasn't written a song for forty years, and its' here where the probably unintentional similarities between Pacino and his character begin with Pacino himself not being in a film of much merit for at least a decade, whilst the redemption the character of Collins desperately seeks during the course of the film can easily be attributed to Pacino also, with Danny Collins seemingly acting as sold ground for Pacino to return to some sort of form. And this he does with aplomb, with Pacino being undoubtedly the best thing in Danny Collins, so much so that every-time he appeared I felt like I could watch him for years.
Supported by Annette Bening and Christopher Plummer, Pacino propels Danny Collins into a charming and sweet comedy drama of which may have suffered if it failed to have the screen presence of someone like Pacino as its' lead. Although the script may be pretty familiar territory with plot points being rather predictable, the sheer magnetism of Pacino makes Danny Collins into something better than I had originally expected. A return to form for Pacino? Most definitely. Seek it out.

Frisian Duck® grows with unusually shaped leaves making it difficult to identify as traditional cannabis and ideal for outdoor and greenhouse growing in populated areas.
The name refers to the distinctive leaf shape which looks like a ducks footprint especially during the first two-thirds of her life. During bloom, some upper leaves may show the more traditional cannabis shape. Frisian Duck® comes from crossing Frisian Dew® with DucksFoot.
This unique, robust, stealthy variety is ready to harvest at the start of October (start of April in Southern Hemisphere).
Grows like a Christmas tree with beautiful purple colours during flowering and , outdoors up to 2.5 meters, indoors up to 1.5 meters.
Frisian Duck® produces compact buds with spicy aromas of pine, citrus and fresh forest.
She was created for outdoor growing but also does well indoors.

On Earth, Simpson continues to have fun flipping the genre's tropes on their head.
She's the sort of artist that you couldn't imagine ever making a bad album, and her newest is more proof.
Whereas My Krazy Life offered a fairly straightforward narrative about a haphazard 24 hours of YG's Compton exploits, Still Brazy starts by focusing inwards and widens its lens to the outside world, linking the scrutiny around YG's personal life to the universal horror of being persecuted simply because of what you look like.
Paradise lands closer to technical brilliance than emotional resonance, but you can feel the band reaching.
Wildflower feels as though it was made for the Avalanches rather than a patient public. Where Since I Left You mapped a plaintive longing onto a travel agency's idea of heaven, Wildflower is designed for comforts of no special ambition.
It's hard not to find Teens of Denial at least a little bit exhilarating, because Toledo's now-fully-formed voice is such a new and powerful one, and because it's easy to see how young listeners will find an entire universe to behold within.
What makes Human Performance a narrowly great record is that it bucks narrative. It's not their most sensitive record or politically astute or least dissonant but all of these things — their most convincing performance as humans to date.
Goodness is a spiritually rich listen, but none of it would matter much if it weren't such a goddamn great rock album.
The LP's sunset pastels and recurring elastic bass lines at times threaten to rob the tracks of their singularities. But 99.9% is a success because Kaytranada fosters an environment where every guest shines.
It's not easy to homogenize the opposing forces at play, but everything here feels like a genuine rumble through a mind scarred and inebriated by the reality of gang life and chasing the American dream while the room spins. Like the title hints, Blank Face LP is dark and full of stone-grilled stares that lay things out in plain terms, and there's very little, if any, glamorization at play.
While it's refreshing that a major label, in 2016, has enough faith in a regional star to let him do what brought him to the dance in the first place, Islah also happens to be the most-balanced Kevin Gates project to date, discovering an equilibrium between his pummelers and his caressers we didn't previously know was possible.
untitled unmastered. can feel like the clearing of a table, rather than a feast. But in this lies its power and greatest asset: With the stakes low, Lamar can air out his demons, have some fun, bask in the afterglow of the Grammys.
Her fifth album is indeed one of the most alt-friendly jazz cycles you've ever heard, pivoting constantly on tight, proggy arrangements.
It's a high-watermark of post-irony indie, a cracked safe of perspectives previously unheard in lump-throated punk. It plays like a sketchbook, but you'll grow to hum every Sharpie stroke.
As glacially paced, mood-enhancing music, Pablo is a hypnotic slam-dunk and this reviewer will be among those first online if an all-instrumental edition finally surfaces on Vocaroo, because over the long haul 'Ye the MC here proves as elusive as the proverbial Cheshire Cat.
ANTI is Rihanna's first aesthetically personal album, and throughout its disorderly roaming, it remains revelatory in a strict sense; it's a musical step sideways but an artistic step up.
On Coloring Book, he displays the most joyful part of his universe, and invites listeners across the globe to share in the festivities.
★ finds Bowie and longtime producer Tony Visconti as hungry as they ever were, and with no modern context into which the artist can insert himself (including rock) he's free to do what he likes.
The first half of Blonde is astonishing, sustained beauty. The second is more distant, closer to the shower improvs of Friday's sounds-like-a-soundtrack-and-it-is Endless.

A new survey of mortgage brokers reveals that one in three prospective home buyers who had signed purchase and sale agreements in August ended up cancelling.
August was a turbulent month for mortgage lenders, as many investors stopped buying securities backed by home loans because of fears of rising delinquencies and defaults.
Not all of the cancellations reported in the survey of 1,744 mortgage brokers by Campbell Communications Inc. were the result of problems funding loans.
