Punt Casino is quite a new online casino, which has been established in 2017. It's not the oldest casino, of course, but it doesn't mean that it's not worth your attention. Great casino bonuses, nice mobile app, hundreds of high quality slots and table games, Curacao license, lots of other advantages — it's definitely a good casino. Here we'll talk about Punt casino in more details, so if you want to know more about it, well, you've come to the right place. Let's go.
Punt casino: license, safety, reputation
License, safety, and reputation — these are the three pillars of a good casino. It's not about them only, right — the number of games, the bonuses, the customer support, and the deposit/withdrawal methods are extremely important, too. But they are not vital.
Why do we call license and safety vital for every online casino? Because these are the main things you'll have to check when it comes to online gambling for real money. The license must be trusted and real, the website must be safe and protected, and the reputation must be, well, good. If everything is fine with these three, a casino is ok.
Punt casino is at least ok, 'cause it's licensed by Curacao gaming authority. If you don't have a clue about all this stuff, don't worry: the only thing you should know is that Curacao e-gaming license is one of the most popular online gambling and betting jurisdictions in the world. You can trust a casino with such a license, that's a fact.
As for safety, well, the reasons why it's important are basically the same. After all, you share your financial information with the online casinos — so it makes sense that the casino you've chosen must be 100% protected. You don't want your money or your credit card information to be stolen, right?
And again, everything is ok here. Thus, the Punt casino website uses the latest 128-bit SSL certificate and MasterCard/Visa fraud protection technologies. Your privacy is also protected at Punt casino. They collect your personal information, of course, but they don't sell or share this data to any third parties, according to their privacy policy.
Yeah, this paragraph is quite long, but don't worry, here's the last thing we wanted to mention: reputation. And guess what? Everything's ok here, too! Punt casino is not the oldest online casino in South Africa, but it's still quite reputable. Almost any Punt casino review is positive, lots of South African players say that it's the best paying casino, and there are no unsolved complaints related to Punt.
Punt casino: website and mobile version
Let's talk about the Punt website and mobile lobby. A dark blue color scheme is comfortable and pleasant; login, download, and registration buttons are in the right place; the website works fast and smoothly. They do also have a blog with some useful tips and advice for casino players… Everything's great at Punt casino. Mobile version is fine, too.
There is only one option for mobile players — we are talking about the Punt mobile casino (mobile website). We can't say much about the mobile version of their website — all you should know about it is that it's fast, very simple and well-optimized. Unfortunately, there is no mobile app here, but their mobile site won't disappoint you. The website is compatible with both Android and iOS devices, but unfortunately, not all casino games are available.
Oh, and you can also download the client to play at Punt casino. The number of games, the bonuses and even the interface of the client is similar to the website, so we can't say that the client is better than the site or vice versa. It's up to you what to choose.
Online gambling at Punt casino (South Africa)
The assortment of games is very good here. There are more than 150 RTG slot machines here (both classic slots and video slots are available). RealTime Gaming is one of the biggest casino software developers, so their games are always very good. And fair, of course.
But it's not only about slots. Table games (baccarat, blackjack), online poker, lots of games with progressive jackpots, craps, keno… Yeah, the choice is quite good. However, it's definitely not the best assortment of games — 150 games are enough, but some casinos and betting sites offer 700 and even 800 games and slots! Well, there's always room for improvement.
Banking methods
How to make a deposit here? How to withdraw cash? It's extremely simple at Punt casino. The South African players will not have any problems with placing a deposit and withdrawing money from this online casino.
Thus, you can use Visa/MasterCard credit and debit cards, EasyEFT, EcoPayz, Skrill, Neteller and even cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin) to place deps and to withdraw winnings. Minimal deposit is R25, minimal withdrawal is R300 (for Bitcoin, Skrill, and Neteller), and R500 (if you use EcoPayz pr EasyEFT). Withdrawals are quite fast here, especially if you withdraw to your Bitcoin wallet. In this case, you'll get your money in 24 hours. If you use Skrill, EcoPayz or Neteller, you'll have to wait up to three days. EasyEFT payments are the slowest ones (up to 1 week). Maximum withdrawal is R20,000 ($1400) monthly, and the only currency supported is the South African Rand. Perfect for players from SA!
Bonuses and promotions at Punt casino
The number of bonuses is just great. Free spins, match bonus, daily cashback, welcome bonus — there are lots of cool Punt casino offers, so you will certainly not be disappointed. Let's talk about the best Punt casino bonuses.
Let's begin with a no deposit bonus. Of course, the wagering requirements are high, but let's be honest: it's just impossible to find a no deposit casino with low wagers. To get this bonus, you'll have to use some Punt casino no deposit bonus codes, like PUNT100. Go to the "Coupon" section, use the code PUNT100, and claim for free coupons!
Punt casino also offers a cool free signup bonus — you'll get up to R3,500 after your first deposit (100% bonus), up to R2,500 after the second one (75%), and up to R4,000 after the third dep (125%).
Daily cashback is here, too. You can get 15% of your daily losses as cashback (but only if you haven't claimed a deposit bonus before).
The only problem of the bonuses here is the wagering requirements. 40x wagers make it very difficult to cash out the bonuses — but, well, it's still possible, so good luck with that!
Punt casino: customer support
It's another important point, but we can't say much here. You can contact a support team via 24/7 live chat, phone or email. They answer fast, and they always try to solve the problem, so, well, even if anything goes wrong, don't worry about it. Your problem will be solved asap.
Should you play here or not?
It's a very simple question, actually. The answer is: yes, it's definitely worth your attention. There are some problems here, like high wagers and absence of live casino games… But it's still very good. The bonuses are quite generous, the games by RTG are very good, and the support team works just as expected. Try Punt casino and win real money right now!

Google's having fun with logos again.† Today if you go to Google.com you'll see a cartoonish image of my good old friend Popeye.
I always loved watching Popeye cartoons.† Maybe because I loved seeing the underdog win.† Or maybe because I was fascinated by anyone with a name like Olive Oil.† But mostly because Popeye liked one of my favorite vegetables - spinach.
Today I got a kick out of Google's logo because even though Google is totally serious about search engines and results, they have not lost their sense of fun.† So read what Barry Swartz has to say about Google's logo today.†Popeye sure knows how to shoot the spinach!
I'm gonna have a dose of fun along with my serving of dark leafy greens.

Local, Passionate and Independent
Crossroads Care Hertfordshire (North, West & East) is a spirited and proudly independent charity working closely in partnership with others to innovate to improve support and services for unpaid carers of family members and friends in Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. We provide carers breaks and respite care, day opportunities and many other services to over 1,500 people a year under contract to Hertfordshire County Council and other funders.
For us a carer is anyone living with the challenges of caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or addiction problems. We provide respite and Care services. Crossroads Care Hertfordshire North is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Here is our latest CQC inspection report.
You can also follow the link https://www.mixcloud.com/radiodacorum/crossroads-care-interview-with-matt-hatton-on-radio-dacorum/ to listen to our Radio Dacorum interview for information about us, our services and recruitment opportunities.
What's in a Name?
Recently we have received a lot of questions about our connection with Crossroads Hertfordshire South, you can view their website here. Although having a similar name, Crossroads South is an entirely separate organisation working in the Hertsmere, Watford and Three Rivers area of Hertfordshire. It has recently merged and is now wholly owned by Carers in Herts an organisation which provides advice and training to carers. You can visit their website here. The demand for our services has increased dramatically over the last 12 months and the trustees of Crossroads Care Hertfordshire North wish our local partners the very best in their merger and are committed to remaining independent and growing as an influential provider in Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.
Networked, National and Partnerships
We have strong partnerships and collaborations with local organisations including East Herts District Council, Stevenage Borough Council and enjoy close working relationships with the EMDASS team, the Alzheimer's Society, local Patient Participation groups and many others. We manage a contract for free Carers Breaks on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council. We also work with local and national partners, to ensure that information, advice and practical support are available to all carers across the UK.
We are a Network Partner of the Carers Trust, a charity which was formed by the merger of Crossroads Care and The Princess Royal Trust for Carers in April 2012 and are Associate members of Carers UK who lobby and inform on behalf of carers.
Not for Profit
As a charity, we care for people not for profit. No one cares more than Crossroads Care, not just in the scale of what we do or the vast experience that we have, but in the special way we think about care.
Our Carer Support Staff are not here today and gone tomorrow. They love their work, and their training and long experience means they understand what carers, and those they care for, need and feel. They know the simple things that really matter, they do the hard jobs with a smile and they take pleasure in fitting into family life.
It's no surprise then that our staff build long and trusted relationships, and that more carers and people with care needs turn to Crossroads Care for support than to any other social care provider.
How it Works
If you think that Crossroads Care may be able to help, we will visit you at home and, together with the person you care for, design the service that meets your respective needs. Anyone can get in touch with us for a service for themselves, someone they know or to make a referral from another agency.
As a carer or someone with care needs you may be entitled to support by the local authority or you can choose to pay direct for our services or top up state entitlements. Sometimes we are able to use charitable donations to fund 'free care' in a crisis or special situation such as a wedding or funeral.
Contact us to find out more about how Crossroads Care can give you a well earned break.
The Cost of Carer Support
There are four main ways in which carer support is funded:
Services funded by the local authority through Crossroads Care
Services where the local authority pay you direct and let you choose how you spend the money – called Direct Payments
Private services where you pay Crossroads Care
Top up services where you can pay privately for services additional to those funded by the local authorities

"Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play."
~ Michael Singletary
I started thinking about exercise and sports when I was looking through an Ability magazine. I saw an invitation announcement for the Paralympic Leadership Conference (April 29 - May 2, 2011).
I started thinking about Paralympics and how it encourages people with physical and mental disabilities to participate in sports. Competitive play has a profound affect on health and lifestyle. There are more than 130 communities across the country that participate in making Paralympic experiences available to people interested in a two-day workshop.
During the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, I learned that I could watch Paralympics individual events and track medal presentations on the Internet. That was good because I never found TV coverage. I was treated to the excitement of watching these events for the first time.
I was surprised to see the wheelchair rugby. This was as tough inside as it is outside, with specially designed wheelchairs that can take rough play without damaging the chair or injuring the player. Players were often knocked down. Officials from the side run onto the court and reset the chair to an upright position. This fast-paced game was exciting and fun to watch.
Here are two MS Paralympians I found. In 2008, equestrian team Great Britain at the Paralympics in Beijing included two MSers, Simon Laurens and Anne Durham.
Simon Laurens is in the top 10% of the 100 paralympic riders. He began riding at an early age, concentrating on jumping and cross country before he was introduced to dressage. About that time, he was diagnosed with MS, a disease he knew well since his mother and grandmother were both MSers. He decided to retire until friends with encouraged him to continue. His re-entry in dressage so far makes in it look like he has a great career ahead of him.
One rider is a team member for the fourth time. Anne Dunham, diagnosed with MS at 27, is in the most disabled category MS riders, but has still managed to be selected to ride for the British team. She helped win a team a gold medal every time she competed: Atlanta, Sydney, Athens, and Beijing. She also won an individual bronze, silver and gold. I never thought of competing for Olympic Dressage when I owned horses. We stuck with regional events like barrel racing and other rodeo-stylecontests.. Paralympic medals recognize world class athletes and horses.
Great Britain has acquired more medals for Paralympic dressage in the last 25 years than for any other sport. Equestrian events are perfect for MSers since hippotherapy is such a good therapy for us. However, there are also many other sports that work for us, too.
I am hardly an athlete of Paralympic quality, but I like to watch. I believe it is important for MSers to exercise and remain active, but don't forget to watch.
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
~ Theodore Roosevelt

Bands: The Penguins
The Penguins were an American doo wop band formed in the 1950s, probably most known for the R & B number one hit song "Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)". The band was founded in the year 1954 in LA by their members Duncan, Williams, Tate and Tisby, who attended Fremont High School together. In the same year, the Penguins signed a record deal with the independent record label Dootone Records, their first single being Hey Senorita (with Earth Angel as a B side). Soon, however, it became clear that Earth Angel was way more popular than Hey Senorita. Early in 1955, Earth Angel hit the top position in various singles charts across the globe, where it remained a few weeks among the top 10 on R & B and pop charts.
A little later, Tate left the band and was replaced by Randolph Jones. In 1956 the Penguins switched labels, first to Mercury Records and then to Atlantic, where in 1957 they scored their second top position R & B chart hit, "Pledge of Love". That same year, they also released their only album "The Cool, Cool Penguins". In 1959, the band moved back to L.A. and were separated for a short period of time. The Penguins had Frank Zappa and Ray Collins write a song especially for them. The single was not a commercial success, however, and the band split again.
Earth Angel was featured in the 1985 Oscar winning film "Back to the Future". The Penguins were one of the many doo wop bands at the time to have taken their name after a bird (other examples include The Orioles, The Crows and The Flamingos). One of the members of the band smoked Kool cigarettes, featuring Willie the Penguin as an advertising strategy and they allegedly drew inspiration from that in order to name the band.

In the proud tradition of the Southern African Jewish Community, Keren Beth Protea discreetly assists more than 45% of the residents at Beth Protea.
From the day that Beth Protea opened, Keren Beth Protea has enabled many former Southern Africans living in Israel to spend their golden years in dignity in the serenity of our beautiful facility.
In order to ensure the continued ability of the Keren to support needy applicants, a large group of dedicated volunteers are involved in many fund raising activities both locally and abroad.
This program ensures that the admission policy is not built solely on the applicants financial ability. This is what distinguishes a community project such as Beth Protea from commercial, profit-motivated senior citizen facilities. Those who can afford to do so, pay in full, but assistance is available to ex-Southern Africans living in Israel who may require it.
This assistance is given in complete confidentiality by Keren Beth Protea, ensuring that each individual is equal – receiving the same services, enjoying the same facilities and living life to its fullest.
The total assistance given by Keren Beth Protea over the last 12 years is in excess of eight million Dollars.
HOW CAN YOU HELP? One of our projects is called "Friends of Beth Protea" which welcomes people to associate themselves with this wonderful cause.
The Keren is proudly supported by a unique group of dedicated volunteers who tirelessly give their time and efforts to help raise funds to ensure the continuation of this very important function. Whether it be organizing a spectacular fund raising concert, a film premiere, or the famous card mornings which are the pride and joy of the residents themselves, the drive is always straight from the heart and with total commitment to ensure that Keren Beth Protea can continue to support the ever growing number of applicants.
If you would like to join our special "family" of "friends", please contact us …

While designing a website professionally one should mainly know the website visitor's point of view and how easy it should be for the site visitors to navigate within the different pages of the website. Thus for any one inside the website the three things have to be clear
- Their present location in the site
- The different pages they can go from the current page
- The different activities possible within the site
One of the basic theories in navigation is the fact that it is best to keep the site's navigation as simple as possible. Some of the basic rules for a simple navigation are:
- Apart from the links within the page content one must keep/ provide permanent navigation links on the page.
- Different colors and shapes or buttons should be used to differentiate the different types of navigations.
- Navigation items should be bold, large in size, and clearly visible.
- Clear text should describe the linking page and the linking purpose
- Hyperlinks should be highlighted and must stand out from the rest of the text.
- Reduce unnecessary links to the maximum and reduce the noise level for better experience and navigation.
- It is best to have the logo on top of the screen followed by the navigations.
- Provide different color settings for visited and unvisited links so that the visitor knows the links he has already used.

Cut me a break. I am desperately attempting to rid myself of this collecting affliction. I'm doing my best, but these kind of deep cuts are sucking me in to new, dangerous worlds of products. For example.
These toys echo not just cool heroes from my childhood, but weird versions. Purple, giant "M" Magneto? Fresh from the future, a future where bandanas are wildly popular, Bishop? Jubilee? Jubilee? Really? And the throw-in Wolverine, I'm not crazy about. (Nor am I banana jacket Jubilee, but the Magneto makes up for it) But these "mini-mates" are just about a reasonable enough size that I could keep them neatly arranged and also easily hidden (swept into a drawer) when other grown-ups are about.
For my adult life style, and wallet, please refrain from making anymore of these. And making them limited edition doesn't help either – it's like saying the cocaine is caramel flavored. Stop.
A Fan.

A Mother's Desperate Plea To Warn Parents About Pong Pong Seeds From The "Suicide Tree"
Natosha Anderson, a resident of Calumet City, IL, had never heard of pong pong seeds before a couple of weeks ago. Her discovery was the most tragic kind. Her 22-year-old son, Bernard McCalip, was found on the family's bathroom floor, where in his last moments his mother says he told her he couldn't feel his heart and "I took a pong seed."
READ: 5 Signs A Loved One May Be Considering Suicide
"I'm pretty sure he thought it was going to be easy, but it wasn't. He died in pain. It was slow, and it was painful," Anderson said in a heartbreaking ABC-7 Eyewitness News report.
Bernard bought the pong pong seeds online from Thailand for a mere $5.
The pong pong tree, also known as cerbera odollam, grows along riverbanks, sandy coasts and near mangrove swamps throughout southeast Asia. The seed pods are commonly marketed on sites like eBay and Amazon as "for decoration." However, the tree is also infamously known as the "suicide tree" for the silent way it can shut down a person's heart and may go undetected in toxicology reports.
Dr. Roderick Tung, a heart-rhythm specialist at University of Chicago Medicine, said in the news report, "Cerberin appears to be one of the most lethal agents in this class of medications or natural plants." Researchers believe more people have taken their own lives using suicide seeds than any other plant in the world.

HOT TRAXXX: Cloud Nothings - Stay Useless
It sounds fresh, exciting and most importantly enduring, something that I hope becomes the trend in 2012 - now with the added pressure of the bar being set so high by January's Attack on Memory. Don't miss it.

While putting together my best of 2011 list (coming Friday!), I've been looking a lot at Pleasure, the LP by Pure X. I didn't listen to it as much as I should've this year, which I'm trying to make up for now, but it's really a hell of a record, you know?
These are essential '11 jams, children.

Bleached - Electric Chair [MP3]
Did you hear this one yet?
It's the b-side to Bleached's newest single Searching Through the Past. "Electric Chair" sees them cross the finish line after a fine debut year, bringing their count to three quality 7 inches.
Thanks dudes - for the hits!

Colleen Green - Live on WMBR [ZIP/MP3]
02. Only One
03. Mike
04. Darkest Eyes
05. Worship You
Colleen Green was cool enough to play on the radio for my birthday this morning, wasn't that nice of her? She also played 2 new songs ("Only One" and "Darkest Eyes") which sounded real dank.
So I ripped the session after it wrapped, as a gift to myself. There was a lot of chatting not found in my edit, so if that's your thang you can find the whole thing somewhere in here. Enjoy yourself!

MP3: Tennis - Origins
"Deep in the Woods"
Forest Family Records 2011
Directors: Scott Laidlaw & Frank Rinaldi
BONUS: Enjoy an mp3 of the a side - "Origins", which will appear on their forthcoming LP2 Young and Old on Fat Possum. Excited for this one, as the group seems to have amplified everything that was charming about them and abandoned the lackluster songwriting that plagued their last effort Cape Dory, preventing it from becoming anything memorable.
FUCK YEAH: King Blood - End of a Primitive [MP3]
Richie Records recently announced that they will be delivering the next King Blood record to a thirsty world sometime in early 2012. "Terrific" is the phrase I'd most likely use in response to that delightful bit of news.
Until I can jam that, here is a selection from 2010's impossible to find Eyewash Silver.

Summer Twins - I Don't Care [MP3]
While the Summer Twins' self titled debut is out already in Japan, I don't have enough gas to make it to a record store there. Good thing Burger Records is releasing it next month in the states! Apparently the US pressing will be with different artwork and completely remastered - sounds killer!
Enjoy "I Don't Care", a tasty delight from the album itself and download their very great EP The Good Things for free if you haven't already.

Sharon Van Etten - Serpents [MP3]
Today brings the first taste of Sharon Van Etten's forthcoming LP3 (and Jagjaguwar debut) Tramp. Can't wait for this one, SVE's epic was one of last year's best and she totally fucking ripped when I saw her back in January or whenever it was.
Good to know that the winter will be a bit more bearable on February 7th, when Tramp is released. Sounds toasty.

It's a business as usual track for the dudes, and business is gooood.

FUCK NO: Die Antwoord
Longtime readers of the blog may be surprised that it look this long to finally acknowledge these purveyors of aural cud. As easy as they were to ignore the hype marketers began their push, they're statements pertaining to their upcoming record need to be translated, knowing how hard it may be for English speakers to pick out their Afrikaans lyrics. Their statements appear italicized below, with the translation underneath.
So anyway... Interscope offered us a bunch of money again to release our new album TEN$ION.
This is simple: Interscope/UMG paid for the recording of the new album.
But this time, they also tried to get involved with our music, to try and make us sound like everyone else out there at the moment.
Upon hearing the finished product, the executives asked if we could possibly make it listenable. We asked them to explain further. To paraphrase a near half-hour diatribe on what makes something listenable and referring to it as commercial rap's "Lulu" we found ourselves rather taken aback by their lack of faith in our "masterpiece"—they even suggested firing that blonde thing and replacing her with Rihanna. Fools, they are! We're making the music of the future we responded, and they had the gall to retort that the record sounded like a mixture of all of the worst rap songs of 2008.
So we said: 'U know what, rather hang on to your money, buy yourself something nice...we gonna do our own thing. Bye bye'
Mr. Record Executive wrote off the album expense, tore up our contract and even gave us the album. He said "Good luck even trying to give this to the toilet or the rubbish heap".

HOT TRAXXX: Mazzy Star - Common Burn [MP3]
The thing about successfully ripping off a band's style is that it makes the listener yearn for the original so much more. Sadly though the Ramones are dead and Black Sabbath is too old, too sober and too rich.
Mazzy Star, however, are still spring chickens and with their reform comes the "Common Burn" single, which finds them sounding better than ever while managing to take a shit all over everyone who copped their sound.
Death to false shoegaze. Welcome home, soldiers.

The Beach Boys - Smile [GIVEAWAY]
Hey guys I've got a 2CD copy of the looooooong awaited Smile by The Beach Boys to giveaway and even a t-shirt too!
If you are a United States resident just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, shirt size, email and mailing address and in one week (Nov 8) a winner will be chosen, at random of course.
The long awaited release of the Brian Wilson and Beach Boys masterpiece, SMiLE Sessions. With the full participation of original Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson, Capitol/EMI has, for the first time, collected and compiled the band's legendary 1966-'67 sessions for the never-completed SMiLE album. Rolling Stone magazine recently called SMiLE "the most famous unfinished album in rock & roll history."
In several sessions between the summer of 1966 and early 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, SMiLE, that was intended to follow the band's 1966 album, Pet Sounds. The master tapes were ultimately shelved, and The Beach Boys' SMiLE has never been released. Drawn from the original masters, SMiLE Sessions presents an in-depth overview of The Beach Boys' recording sessions for the enigmatic album, which has achieved legendary, mythical status for music fans around the world.
SMiLE Sessions physical and digital configurations include an assembled collection of core session tracks, while the box set delves much deeper into the sessions, adding early song drafts, alternate takes, instrumental and vocals-only mixes, and studio chatter. SMiLE Sessions invites the listener into the studio to experience the album's creation, with producer, singer and bassist Brian Wilson's vision leading the way as he guides his fellow Beach Boys, singer Mike Love, drummer Dennis Wilson, lead guitarist Carl Wilson, rhythm guitarist Al Jardine, and newest member Bruce Johnston (who'd replaced Brian Wilson in the touring group during 1965), through the legendary sessions.
Artwork for all of the SMiLE Sessions physical and digital configurations has been created with and inspired by Beat-Pop artist Frank Holmes' original 1967 LP sleeve art and booklet designs intended for the SMiLE album. With its three-dimensional shadowbox lid, The SMiLE Sessions box set offers a whimsical peek inside the storied "SMiLE Shop."
Box Set Content
- 5 CDs / 2LPs / 2 7" singles
- Three-dimensional shadow box lid featuring the original artwork of Frank Holmes.

HOT TRAXXX: Veronica Maggio - Jag Kommer [MP3]
MP3: Veronica Maggio - Jag Kommer
It's been awhile Swedish pop. So much so that we've been beginning to miss one another. Some of it maybe due to Laakso not releasing anything new in way too long, or even Marit Bergman just not reaching the heights of Baby Dry Your Eye in subsequent releases. But hot goddamn (and emphasize the hot)—the new Veronica Maggio hits the spot. Totally awesome pop music by a total babe. Enjoy.

GO TEAM: Kelly Hangauer - I Can Almost Feel [MP3]
My former Ladyparts bandmate Kelly Hangauer has finally embraced the internet, and I feel like if it doesn't embrace him back we're going to lose him.
He's hard at work on a semester in Prague, recording some new tracks along the way including the 5 day old "I Can Almost Feel". He probably hates the song by now, but I loved it and I just wanted to say that I miss him and I hope he's having a blast.

I know we keep posting outtakes for that album, but we really are excited for BC's new Atlas Sound album. This is just how we get through the pain of not having a copy of it yet.

GO TEAM: Say My Name Triumphant
Each track tells a story unique to your imagination, bursting with back handed pimps, gash fountain babes and drugs that haven't even been invented yet... or at least that's what I hear. Honestly what is so fascinating about SMN's music is that it's entirely open to interpretation, but is so brilliant that even the biggest village idiot has boost towards "getting it".
Take for example two of the Kid's all-star collaborators on this LP: Kenneth Kupfer's long fingered, skull cane ladden artwork for the cover makes complete sense, as does Range Life Records honcho and not-frequently-enough FY!GT! contributor Zach Hangauer's Wonder Woman vs. injustice video for single "La Cygne" (available for viewing below). It's seriously worth investing in a project of Say My Name inspired art projects, but in the meantime it's beyond worth investing in Say My Name 2 - and you can September 20th when it's available for digital consumption.

In our wait to the upcoming Atlas Sound record, and whenever Deerhunter decide to drop another banger, here's the b-side from the "Memory Boy" seven inch which came out on Record Store Day earlier this year. Enjoy.
Friday, September 09, 2011
Colleen Green is been a welcome addition to the land of finely crafted musical beasts and her upcoming Cujo 12 inch for Art Fag only raises bars higher. It's drenched with hooks, nugs and Kindergarten Cop sound bytes - the classic formula of a sure thing. "Rabid Love" is a song on it and it's soooo good! Enjoy it like you would a fine wine that is gonna get you drunk and brave.
Cujo is out on October 4th.

More magic from Portland magicians Blouse, who after 2 genius singles have at long last announced their debut full length which is going to be self-titled. I don't get self-titling albums, but whatever. The point is this is going to be great and it's out November 1st on Captured Tracks.
Wednesday, September 07, 2011
Finally got around to checking those dudes Widowspeak and their self titled debut that just came out on Captured Tracks. It sounds real good! It's also very fitting of this rainy cold weather that New England has been cloaked in all this week. I'm not complaining, I truly am loving that I can wear long sleeves again. Autumn = class.
Oh, but yeah check these guys out if you haven't yet. They're nice, especially if you love Mazzy Star. Do these bands cry over that comparison or are they bad ass about it like the groups that are covers of Black Sabbath or the Ramones and totally own up to it and we can all have a good time? I hope it's the latter...
Tuesday, September 06, 2011
New Kurt Vile: The Creature
Looks like come November 8th Matador Records will re-release this year's great Smoke Ring for My Halo because... um? But the bright side of such a pointless endeavor is that it's being packaged with (and thankfully available on it's own 12 inch vinyl release) So Outta Reach, a new ep of 6 songs from those sessions, touched up upon and thrown at an adoring public. Oh and one of the songs is a cover of Boss classic "Downbound Train". You know, this one:
Maybe it sounds like this?

Video: Bad Feeling
New video from Veronica Falls for their new single "Bad Feeling", which is out in 7 inch form now on Slumberland. It's also appearing on September 20's self titled debut which is highly anticipated by everyone cool, including yours truly.
Cool video, burning shit in the woods is pretty bad ass.
(I also really like this video to "Come On Over" which will also be on the LP)
Hey, right off the bat I just want to say to HEALTH that it's sooooooo nice to hear anything new from you guys! You've really been missed! I guess these dudes are spending time making awesome covers because this, their version of Pictureplane's "Goth Star", is everything these things should be. Now it's totally a HEALTH song while keeping everything that is special about the original intact: namely it's glitterbomb fireworks display and it's genius sampling of Fleetwood Mac's oft-forgotten "Seven Wonders".
Not that anyone needed a reminder of how great this track was but GODDAMN it still has legs! Good on you, nuders.
Wednesday, August 31, 2011
We're all going to pretend that we all didn't download Hurry Up, We're Dreaming this week and that "Intro", featuring the lovely Zola Jesus, is a complete shocker. So let's go ahead and talk about the song!
It actually IS a shocker. Listening to "Midnight City" for so long left it harder to imagine something of equal or greater quality could come before and properly set up such a beast, but here we are and it totally fucking rules. It's sprawling, warm and as big as space itself (like all M83, duh), but beyond that I was air drumming like I was fucking a goddamn superstar by the end of it and I like that because I'm not and escape is everything.

New Meg Baird: The Finder
MP3: Meg Baird - The Finder
Some people release too much music, some just enough and too many not much at all - it's the Goldilocks theory. Meg Baird totally falls into the latter category, though now we're all lucky enough to anticipate a new album called Seasons on Earth, coming out on Drag City next month.
Everyone is older and wiser in the world and I guess this LP's is gonna reflect that - "The Finder" certainly makes me believe it. While her Philadelphia peers like Purling Hiss and Kurt Vile are painting the USA the color Philly one city at a time, 2011 seems prime for a lovely overtaking. All hail Queen Baird, mother fuckers.
Thursday, August 25, 2011
FUCK YEAH: Bad as Me
MP3: Tom Waits - Bad as Me
Every time Tom Waits raises his head, music stops. It doesn't stop because it's run out, it's stops because of the blindsiding that occurs. At that point, you'd think it would reevaluate it's position, but it just keeps prostrating to the admonishment being delivered by Mr. Waits. He's the voice of reason; he brings character to the world. With Bad as Me seeing release this October, I can only hope an appropriate Dickensian winter (finally) follows suits. Enjoy.

New Atlas Sound: Terra Incognita
MP3: Atlas Sound - Terra Incognita
There are the constants to Bradford Cox that you not only count on, but thrive upon as well: his voice will break your heart, no matter what he's singing and it's going to sound awesome in some way, even if it's not readily visible on it's the surface. How does it change up?
Well his upcoming Parallax album, the 3rd under his Atlas Sound moniker, is self labeled as "science fiction" for it's genre -sounds stellar to me.
Out Nov 8th on 4AD (and by Nov 8th I mean when it leaks in October).

10 Ideas for a Smarter Homework Station
Having the proper homework hub means you can dial in focus and diminish unnecessary interruptions. Put together these ideas in a dedicated homework station and watch your home — and your kid — get a little smarter.
Seize the Day
Make a large calendar the focal point of your homework area to create a simple and stress-free work environment. There's no better way to ensure homework gets turned in on time than a big square screaming, "Due!" Photo courtesy of Pottery Barn
Shed Some Light
Nothing turns on the learning better than a bright light. This energy-efficient lamp also provides a little charge when you need it. Enjoy soothing music through the speakers and a docking station for your smartphone. Photo courtesy of Sara & Bendrix
Consider It Stored
Tuck supplies inside a desk after homework is complete to declutter the space. When it's time to sit for the next batch of assignments, simply slide the desk and your little Einstein can start picking his brain. Photo courtesy of BlueLounge
Divide and Conquer
Create a homework space with a chalkboard divider to section it off from the rest of the room. This double-duty board blocks out noise and distractions and offers up an inviting place to problem-solve. Get the full step-by-step instructions here>>
Plug a mini surge protector into a nearby outlet to make more room for powering up. This one has two USB ports, so you can charge your tablets and smartphones while still having room for a pencil sharpener and a task lamp.
Scan and Save
Going paperless is a big plus when it comes to tidying up. Use a lightweight, portable scanner to turn handwritten notes and text book clips into convenient and organized digital files. Photo courtesy of Doxie
Get Hung Up on Art
Hang inspirational mounted prints near a homework station, and your young scholar is sure to get a heavy dose of math motivation. Photo courtesy of Help Ink
Sit On It
It's time to rethink your seating at your homework station. It should be ergonomic and comfortable, or doing your work will be that much more of a chore. Make sure your lower back feels supported and the height is adjustable to accommodate floating feet. Design by Vanessa De Vargas
Nix Cable Clutter
Keep legs from getting tangled in a mess by corralling cords. A modern hub like this one keeps work areas appearing neat and looking cool — especially handy if homework happens in a common area. Photo courtesy of BlueLounge
Sync Your Supplies
Paint mason jars and cups a single color and attach stylish embellishments. Store pencils, paper clips and protractors in each one, then place together on a single tray for solidarity. Get the full step-by-step instructions here>>

Child (and Parent) Information & Counselling
ACT Early Childhood Schools
About Us
The Early Childhood Schools opened in 2009 and are located at Narrabundah, Isabella Plains, Lyons, Scullin (Southern Cross) and Franklin. The O'Connor Co-operative School continues to operate as a Preschool to Year 2 school. The schools are a highly successful model of early years learning that provide children with the best start to their early development and education.
The schools' foundation to early childhood education is that all children have the right to a safe and nurturing environment, where their capabilities are recognised and strengthened. Evidence from research into early childhood development, changing social structures, economics and the role of schools provided a strong case for using existing school sites as hubs for the creation of these integrated services for children (birth to 8) and their families.
Core Elements of the Model
Three elements formed the core of the model for early childhood schools as they developed as early learning and development centres. They are:
- high quality learning
- integrated service delivery
- family support and participation.
The following figure illustrates these core elements. The relationship between the elements is dynamic. These provide the basis for developing action plans and for monitoring and evaluating the outcomes of early childhood schools.
High Quality Learning
Learning commences prior to birth and families are children's first educators. Due to the critical nature of children's brain development in the first three or four years of life, the learning that takes place within families, communities and the formal arrangements of child care is of the utmost importance.
The Early Childhood Schools have developed to ensure continuity in curriculum and relationships over children's early years. Curriculum and pedagogy is based on up-to-date research into early childhood learning.
The Preschool – Year 2 curriculum is based on the early childhood band of the ACT Curriculum Framework, Every Chance to Learn and Australian Curriculum documents. Pedagogy (birth to 8) has been informed by the Early Years Learning Framework – Being, Belonging and Becoming.
Opportunities to forge links with the early childhood courses at Canberra Institute of Technology and University of Canberra, for example in staff recruitment and parenting education, have been successful. The Early Childhood Schools have also been well placed to support collegial professional learning across health, care, education and family support staff. In addition, successful partnerships with local colleges offer students apprenticeship placements at the Early Childhood Schools in courses relevant to children's services.
Integrated Service Delivery
An integrated service model places the rights and needs of children and their families at the centre. Families have access to a comprehensive array of programs that support children's early learning thus building family and community capacity.
Services from different government and community agencies (for example education, child care and health programs) are linked so that each child and family has easy access to the programs when required. Opportunities are provided for all families to access information, support and services so that the need for more intensive services is reduced. When specific needs are identified, support is readily available.
As a result the Early Childhood Schools successfully provide access to:
- child care services for children prior to school entry and after school entry (before and after school and vacation care)
- parent support and education
- targeted services for children and families with specific needs
Family Support and Participation
Families are central to children's development. The security, encouragement and responsiveness that families can provide enable children to grow emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically. In forming genuine partnerships with families, the Early Childhood Schools build and draw upon the skills and expertise of parents and carers. Families provide mutual support so staff and families learn from each other.
Each Early Childhood School provides physical and socio/emotional environments that are child and family friendly where children and families feel a strong sense of belonging to their early childhood community. Programs that are inclusive and sensitive to the diverse backgrounds and needs of children and families are more likely to succeed. Effective education, health, child care and other services for children and families are provided through collaborative partnerships with the communities they serve.
The ACT Early Childhood Schools deliver high quality early learning and have become hubs or integrated services centres for children from birth to 8 years, which are attractive to many families who live and work in the regions where they are located. Their development over time has strengthened school excellence across the ACT whilst helping build stronger families and communities. The Early Childhood Schools have provided insights and examples of good practice in early learning and family support that can be shared across the ACT and other states within Australia.
The long term educational, social and economic benefits of an increased emphasis on children's early years has and will be felt, not only by children and their families, but also by the wider ACT community.

Separatists snub Mehbooba's invite for talks with MPs
Srinagar, Sep 4:
Separatist leaders have rejected Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti's invitation to meet an all-party delegation of parliamentarians who are in Kashmir on a mission to restore peace in the valley rocked by nearly two months of violence and street protests.
The separatist leaders in a joint statement said the delegation from Delhi has not "spelled out its mandate" and has no clear agenda of engagement.
The statement lashed out at Mehbooba, who had invited the separatists for talks in her capacity as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president and not as the Chief Minister.
"Nobody is more aware than Mehbooba ji that the Indian war machine is on a spree to kill, maim and disfigure an entire population into complete submission for demanding freedom from India," said the statement issued by Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik.
Mehbooba on Saturday evening wrote to separatists "in my capacity as the president of the Peoples Democratic Party", requesting them "to take the lead and engage with the all-party delegation of parliamentarians".
"This will be the start of a credible and meaningful political dialogue and resolution process to end the stalemate. Cutting across party lines and political positions, the country's political leadership has reached out and it is for us to collectively lend it credence and credibility," she wrote in her letter.
The separatists, who are either locked up in Srinagar prisons or in their homes, said they were not surprised with Mehbooba's "dominant concern, as expressed in her letter, is to 'lend credence and credibility' to the delegation visiting Kashmir avowedly to ascertain wishes of the people.
"Everyone knows that people have been shouting 'azadi' on the roads for those who want to listen and writing on walls and placards for those who can see."
National Conference president and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also criticized Mehbooba for her invitation to the separatists.
Abdullah said Mehbooba should have released the separatist leaders from prison and house arrest if she was serious about talks with them.
"As Chief Minister she arrests them and as PDP President she invites them to talk and then we wonder why Kashmir burns," Abdullah tweeted, a day after the letter of invitation was handed over to separatist leaders by policemen.
"I wonder if anyone in the PDP or BJP would like to explain why police is used as couriers" since the invitation was not from the government, Abdullah asked, as the delegation, headed by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, arrived here for a two-day visit.
The all-party delegation met Mehbooba Mufti at the highly-guarded Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC) on the banks of the Dal Lake. Curfew was reimposed in parts of the valley, particularly in Srinagar. All roads to the SKICC were locked down with a heavy presence of police and paramilitary troopers.
As the MPs landed in Srinagar, more violence erupted across the Kashmir Valley. Police sources said nearly 50 people were injured in various clashes between stone-pelting protesters and security forces.
At least 30 people were injured as security forces used shotgun pellets to disperse thousands of protesters in south Kashmir's Shopian district. A mob of protesters later set ablaze a multi-story sprawling complex of the district administration.
The complex was inaugurated just last year and many of the district offices had not moved into the new state-of-the-art building.
The incident occurred as thousands of protesters took to the streets for a pro-freedom rally — the latest in a series of protests triggered by the July 8 killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.
At least 74 persons, including two policemen, have been killed in the weeks of violence. More than 11,500 civilians and security forces have been injured. (IANS)

Little Jackie Lyrics
Artist: Crystal Lewis
Album: Bride
copyright Crystal Lewis, Brian Ray
Jackie had a dad who didn't have Jesus
He had no hope, no reason to live
One day she told him of the peace He brings us
The freedom God so freely gives
For fifteen years, eight of those were Jackie's
He wouldn't hear and he wouldn't see
Then before he died he asked Jackie
Who's this man who'll set me free?
ooh little Jackie...ooh little Jackie
He's the man who gave His life for me
Not just a man, in fact a King
The blind see His mercy, the deaf hear His voice
I know Him she said, and He wants to know you
Jackie saw her dad go home to see Jesus
Now she watches a dying world
So much in need of hope and of rest
So much in need of the peace she knows
ooh little Jackie...ooh little Jackie
The world despises, the foolish reign
They mock the Word of God we live
Even though they love to hate Him
He loves them so...that's who Jesus is

|source: turn up the heat on climate denial
This is why, and how, climate skepticism matters in 2015: The most storied science agency, NASA, of the biggest national carbon emitter, the USA (in per capita/annual and total/cumulative terms), just suffered a slash to its funding. The House Committee on Science, Space and Technology approved 2016 and 2017 NASA budgets that reduce science funding by $323 million.
One of NASA's missions is to understand how our planet works. Chief among this quest is keeping track of climate change. NASA's climate research is part of the agency's Earth science program. In the current fiscal year, this program is funded at $1.773 billion. President Obama requested $1.947 billion for 2016. But the new budget, just approved, is $ 1.450 billion under the 'if-all-goes-well' plan, the so-called aspirational scenario, or $1.199 billion under the 'if-we-need-to-tighten-our-belts' plan, the constrained scenario. Compared to 2015 funding, the aspirational scenario constitutes an 18% cut; compared to Obama's request, it's a 26% cut. The constrained scenario amounts to a 32% cut; compared to the request, it's a 38% cut.
Why is this happening? Because the members of the House Committee believe NASA should deal with outer space, not with mother Earth. As NASA Administrator Bolden rightly understands, this move is intended to gut NASA's Earth science & climate program.
And why the members of the House Science Committee wish to gut this program? Because the Committee Chair Lamar Smith (Republican) is a climate denier. This is the logic of skepticism: since the skeptic would have to change his mind if he were scientifically literate, he uses his power to fight against scientific literacy.

The only thing I'm wondering about is
These markings seem to have adopted a different colour scheme than the later one used for the invasion of Normandy.
as I thought the same colors were used also til end of war.
For example, Tunisia summer 1943 and Italian campaign from Salerno in September 1943 to the Alps in May 1945.
Or are there different color scheme for vehicle markings and for personal belongings?

There was a fatal accident on I-294 today in Elmhurst, Illinois. The accident, which was a "chain-reaction" accident, involved six vehicles.
Details on the accident are somewhat limited.
However, it is being widely reported that the accident happened on I-294 near Lake Street in the southbound lanes at approximately 5:45 a.m.
Preliminary reports indicate that a semi truck "rear-ended" a Toyota, which then caused further vehicle accidents involving four other vehicles.
Two occupants of one of the vehicles were later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The accident remains under investigation.
Additional details and possible updates can be seen in a variety of media sources, including the April 18 Chicago Sun-Times article titled "Two killed in seven-vehicle crash on I-294" as well as the Elmhurst Patch.com article of April 18 titled "Two killed in Elmhurst Crash on Tri-State Thursday."

I am definitely going to try and wear dresses more often this summer, as I don't get enough wear out of mine! These ones inparticular from StyleWe would be perfect for summer, with all the vibrancy within the designs and materials.
All I thought about while looking at this dress would be how perfect it would be for Saint Patrick's Day, as some of my long term readers may know that i'm half Irish in blood, so Saint Patrick's Day is a big deal for my family and we love to celebrate it. Either way, this would be such a statement dress to own, especially for a special occasion!
The pastel/baby pink colour of this dress I thought was beautiful! Perfect for spring, summer, a wedding, a 50's themed night, garden party, anywhere! It'd be such a versatile piece to own! I've been loveling pastel colours recently, and baby pink has been one of my most drawn to colours, hence why I picked this one, even though it also comes in blue as well!
How adorable is this one?! The best thing about this site, is that they have such cute, classy yet elegant pieces that are perfect for all occasions! I would definitely be rocking this even on a normal day, not just a special occasion! The cute little stripes of different coloured blues, looking like an ocean of flowers. This particular pattern comes in different types of dress forms too, from a sleeveless design to a colourful maxi dress!
Sorry, but I'm not sorry that I picked yet another pink dress, but look how pretty it is!? With the lovely sparkly pattern along the bottom half and hem line, tied in with silver and turquoise illusions, this is absolutely perfect for a wedding guest!
And that concludes my little wishlist of beautiful summer dresses from StyleWe!

Producer Plans 3rd & Final Shana Series after S OVA
posted on by Egan Loo
Shakugan no Shana S to explore characters before storyline's planned finale
The August issue of Tokuma Shoten's Animage magazine will publish a quote from producer Nobuhiro Nakayama regarding the upcoming Shana Project based on Yashichiro Takahashi and Noizi Ito's fantasy light novels. Nakayama says that he is aiming for the finale of the storyline, but before the staffers can do the third series, they must delve into the background of the characters and their deep relationships. According to Nakayama, that is why they are producing the Shakugan no Shana S original video anime project first.

Map & Directions
PAST PROGRAM The seminar focused on on Understanding and Treating Juvenile Sexual Offenders, with nationally recognized presenter John Hunter PhD, MP.Dr Hunter is co-author - with Eileen Ryan, DO and Daniel Murrie, PhD (both Faculty with ILPPP) - of Juvenile Sex Offenders: A Guide to Evaluation and Treatment for Mental Health Professionals, published by Oxford University Press.
Amazon reviews the book:
Serving as a functional guide, this text expertly prepares clinicians for the challenging task of evaluating juveniles, picking up where traditional clinical training often falls short and providing state-of-the-art assessment techniques as well as an overview of treatment modalities. Chapters highlight the many ways in which juveniles charged with sexual offenses differ from adults, the common dilemmas facing evaluators, and the changing perceptions and legal trends with respect to youth crime. Chapters also cover sexual development and behaviors among children and adolescents, risk factors and risk assessment, case examples for working with attorneys, and interventions and pharmacological approaches. Clinical practitioners with limited forensic training will benefit from the guidance on formal forensic evaluation and the review of literature on assessment approaches specific to youth, while forensic experts will gain developmental perspective in evaluating and treating young sexual offenders. Set in a hopeful and optimistic framework, Juvenile Sex Offenders is a practical, empirically based guide on the best practices in evaluating and treating this poorly understood and underserved population.

what is the matrixWhile surfing using Mog's DSL (thanks Mog!), I found this section of The Matrix. It features essays on the philosophy of the Matrix, insights about its religious theme (if it has any) like references Buddhism, Christian doctrine, etc. I've read only one so far and it gave me a headache. I think you have to have some basic background of philosophy to fully comprehend the author's points. But I look forward to reading the rest of the stuff and comparing them to my ideas about The Matrix. =)On a side note, I've been told that the Digital Lifestyle is going to take effect this semester. According to Ryan, we're getting Palm Zire 71's. Dunno if this is for a fact though. If it is, that'll be way cool! The Zire 71 seems pretty nifty.
