Morning Fantasy - (Aug'06)
A song inspired by a friend who fancied someone they saw on the bus to work every morning :-) Aug 06 done and dusted on a manic Friday night :-D
A great pop song that has layers, love all the backing harmonies they work so well, and the overall composition works! great sounding guitar. 'Stevie C'
Love the summery, uptempo feel to this and the harmonies. Catchy stuff - voted :)
Nice tracks:)
Good work Martin...rock and roll..oh ye
I second that!
You have 'IT'...and you should be signed!
Thought I'd come by and listen to a track of yours. Congratulations on the new one! I like the opening. Good stuff. I like the lyrics a lot. That's the way I feel about my wife. This song explains it all when I had first met her. lol
I like the happy, peppyness of the song. It's a great tempo. The production sounds a bit too bright to me but by all means, it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the song. It's very entertaining.
It's a good joy to sing about someone you like. This reminds me of one of those songs a boy could sing to a girl he likes, outside after throwing a rock at her window.
All in all this is a very up-beat track. Very happy and energetic sounding. The production was a little too bright to me and the guitar and rhythm could have used a bit more depth but by all means does this not take away the enjoyment of the song. It's a great little tune! Your voice fits the style very very well. Awesome job done here! Have a good rate and an awesome day!
Very catchy pop with a def '60s sound/vibe. Rated.
Love the tune mate great vocals and harmonies.Pop at its best,has that 60's vibe with a modern feel nice one .R
This tune has a beat that makes sense! Love the Brian Wilson/Beatles harmonies and rich layers. Nice!
This song has a happy uplifting quality. Quite a pick-me-up. It stays in my mind long after hearing it, which is always a good sign. Cool stuff. Rated.

Popalicious. Great track again, 2nd I've heard from you, both accenting excellent song writing and arrangment originality. Clap clap.
Beach Boys harmonies, sort of. Sunny song. The guitar arrangement suits the tune very well. wow, even falsetto in the break. boom boom boom... hehehe, classic songwriting at its best. just the fade is a bit abrupt.
Wow! I love this! I can see why it won. Energy, energy, energy, fun, fun, fun all the way through. Beatles meets Do Wop meets ... Martin. The harmonies are great and the ending is FANTASTIC.

Smudge from Smudgie
Oh I don't follow copetitions here so I am thrilled to find out that you won (Better late than never eh?) Still love this to death and think that it's your best composition/performance...those vox are so Beatles it's incredible. Booom boooom booom booom.
cool, great song, love the mix, makes you want to dance,
nice voice also,
cool song - good energy and great vox - tight!
How does this work then? The first comment on this tune is on 12th August ('scuse me, bap-bap-bap-bap goin' on here) by 'Kiopo' and then later I find you've won the summer competition sponsored by 'kiopo.com'.
This tune is just fantastic! It would have been a smash back in '64 fo sho!
Great song. Great Talent!!! Congrats on #1 Martin. Rated!
Congrat's on 1st place Martin, well deserved!
Well done on coming first Martin - this is brill - love it.
Congrats Martin!! :D
This reminds me of a 50s tune. Those aahs and oohs give it that feel. I really like this man. Very happy and kinda catchy. Awesome stuff Martin!
:D Rated and nominated!
congrats Martin. I remember this song now. catchy and the haromonies are top
Definitely rated.
Love this track. Simple as that. Great vocal tricks and loads of fun...KELSTER aka
Fun song, I really like the stylings you do with your vocals, you have a really good feel for presenting your songs. Catchy 60's feel to the song.
Oh well this proves my other post wrong...I have indeed been here before and loved what you did with this song...brilliant...damn I nommed it before!
great work on the vocal harmonies. all in all this is a great bit of indie pop ;-)
Wow nice voice is this the one with the new mic? Sounds crystal clear to me. Can't believe I've not been to your page before, I'm sure I have though, maybe on one of your other track. I like the uplifting vibe to this track, lyrics and vocals top class.
Very upbeat, catchy and witty! Like the drive in it too and those cool guitar sounds. This song immediatetly brought a smile on my face, especially also your singing that talks of self-irony and faked self-pity. Thank you :-)!
Awwe yes! Congratulations on making the charts Martin! Way to go! :)
In the charts again!Congrats man.This tune rules in my book.Great job.Big thumbs up!
congrats on being an official chart topper this week. Kid
Hi Martin This is Cowboy Cal (Bob Brannan) Nice song ... The retro thing is cool ... Rated Bob
Hi Martin, thanks for the prompt, this is a cracking tune. And you've got 'aah-aah-aah-aah' and 'doopdoopdoopdoop' and 'oohoohooh' all over the place.
Come on everyone, this is IT, England needs more 'bupbupbup' over handclaps.
And Martin, don't know what your day job is but I'd like (a) to buy a luscious CD, like Foreboding's "Hand of God" (b) to know of any gigs you might be lining up.
oh and the coral springs to mind two good bands so take our compliments and rating

Nice upbeat one here Martin. has a 50's/early 60's style too that is great. thats cool to hear some harmonies as mnay don't do this now. catchy all the way.
Very nice guitars, liking the vocals and lyrics with good harmonies! Very catchy song, well done
Agree with the Beatles influence but that doesn't deter from the fact that this sounds far superior than half the crap we listen to in the charts. Amazing stuff! Especially like the chorus sections that really build the vocals up.
*bows*.....sheer class mate....i know its been said, but it's got Beatles written all over it. I love the beatles, and love this track. I'd love to have half your talent. rates and noms all the way. I salute you!
Amazingly good, fresh, funny, bright and breezy.

Overall .....
Ya like! HOT man!!!
Best song I've heard in ages. !!!!!!!!
R&N from the Shed
Fantastic track! I love the play off between the vox and high guitar part. The breakdown is so feel-good (in fact, so is the whole track). Definately keeping this for the summer days :)
Nice one Martin.It does have a Beatles and even a little 50's rock sound to it.Love them harmony back ground vocals.Great beat to it,Think I'll nominate this baby!
Brilliant - I can't say anythinig different to what has already been put - this is very 'Ready, Steady, Go'
This will do well in the competition - good luck.
had to take another listen...i love this sound!!! The Kid
i think beatles when i hear this. and reading through it looks like others have as well. this is truly a great track, perhaps my favorite of yours. so that means download time...and a rating
Forgot to say......rated.
I agree with all the previous comments. I love the break/bridge towards the end. I would have liked to hear one or two 'comic' lyrics in there I think. More enjoyable stuff!
oh well everyone beat me to it...it's early sixties and as good (or better because of modern production)of anything in British pop music of that time. Elements of Beatles, Herman's Hermits, Hollies and I reckon the Beachboys harmonies too.
This is First Class and the most rounded song in your collection. You get a nom from me in addition to all else, Martin. Be proud honey!
I like it .........
yeah, I can hear the early beatles and perhaps a little billy joel in there too. Cool piece man, sounds like it was fun to make... keep it up!
Very light hearted, chipper tune. Sounds alot like early Beatles. I picture you guys running through London from a pack of wild teenage chicks... the drummer stumbles on a crack in the sidewalk, falls (looks like that's gonna' leave a mark!)
Great, tight tune!
Wow, I wasn't expecting such a nice tune...this is hot!!! Very hot! love those harmonies, toe tappin' music...very smooth! I enjoyed it immensely...ratedx, The Kid
Yeah man ! You did it again ! great honest track. I can see that you would wanna finish this in 1 night. Great choirs, haha, made me feel very good !
Ha great song!..this has BEATLES written all over it!...and thats not a bad thing!...(is that macca on the bass by the way?;)....Excellent bassline melodys.
Love the layered harmonies, and vocals are great. Youre best track yet i think.
Superb man! Top work! Great writing.
quality stuff bro love the vocals gr8 harmonies wicked guitar yup this is more like what i was expecting mighty good track :) gets all my love thumbs up fella

My passion is the creative and the song-writing process. I love taking an initial idea and nurturing it, developing it and bringing it to life. I find I haven't the patience for the fine detail of production/mastering etc. I think a good song will always shine through. I'm happy for someone else to add the polish :-)

Well this is the third time around for MP3 Unsigned's Martin Gallagher and I haven't recieved a good kicking yet so I think it is fair to say he isn't related to those other Gallaghers. Stylistically he's a far remove from an Oasis retro remake and owes more to the old standard; credible arrangement, tasteful aural decorations and a trick at writing a catchy song. I admit I liked, very

Morning Fantasy by Martin Gallagher is a very enjoyable slice of 60's retro pop. Full of lovely harmonies and melody. You really are transported back to swinging 60's London. Inspired by a friends infatuation with a stranger on the way to work in the mornings Gallagher paints a vivid picture for your imagination to run with.With such a subject there could possibly have been a comical aspect to the

God knows why this is called I'm With You (live) on my version. It caused some cursing for a while before I discovered that it doesn't matter anyway - the music comes across strongly enough that you could have called it Dead Puppy Gizzards and it would still be worth listening to.

Description: The Tyrilove Hybrid Fitted consists of a printed outer layer of 100% woven cotton*, a layer of hidden fleece and an interior hemp fleece lining. Each fitted comes with a long snake-style lay-in insert consisting of three layers of hemp/cotton topped with cotton knit. The diaper features a snap-down rise with four rows of rise settings to enable you to adjust the fit and fastens with snaps around the waist. There are two snaps on each wing to prevent wing droopage. The edges of the diaper are serged.
* This may change depending on fabric availability.
First impressions: As always, Tyrilove's handiwork is very neat and the diaper well made. I was able to choose the print on the outside from a selection and appreciate the fact that the snaps, stitching and interior lining colour coordinate with the print. The insert seems like it would be very absorbent and since it doesn't snap in you can place the absorbency exactly where your baby requires it most. This diaper seems to be a fairly generous cut compared to other fitteds I've tried. [Rating: 4/5]
Fit: This diaper has a fairly generous cut and at 17 months and 10.7kg J is still on the second smallest rise setting with two rows of snaps showing at the waist. It has good bum coverage and even though the woven outer is not stretchy, the cut of the diaper and waist and leg elastics make it easy for us to get a good fit. This diaper seems a little bulkier on than other hybrid fitteds we've tried, but as we use this mostly at night I really don't find it to be an issue. Of course the appearance will also be influenced by how the insert is folded. I feel like this diaper would be a good fit on bigger babies and toddlers, but perhaps a little big and bulky on smaller/younger babies. [Rating: 4/5]
Performance: As is, this diaper works well for us during the day (bearing in mind that J is a fairly light wetter in the day) and the exterior is still dry when I change him after 2 - 3 hours. This diaper easily lasts the whole night as is and in fact it could still absorb more. This is definitely one of the most absorbent diapers in our stash. I consider J to be a medium wetter at night and I think this diaper could be a good solution for heavy wetters. I like that the woven cotton exterior keeps looking nice even after repeated use and washing and that there is no fading and pilling. For full disclosure I have to add that two of the snaps came loose on this diaper, however the WAHM was willing to replace them. [Rating: 5/5]
You can buy Tyrilove hybrid fitteds directly from their Cloudly store. Like them on Facebook too so you can be notified of new products, prints and offers.

Germany: 2nd arrest in connection with attack plan suspect
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
BERLIN – German police say they've arrested a second person in connection with the detention last week of a Syrian asylum-seeker who was suspected of planning to carry out an attack.
Police in the western city of Duisburg said the man was arrested Wednesday in nearby Dinslaken, but gave no further details.
A day earlier, authorities said that a 24-year-old Syrian was arrested last Friday in Mutterstadt, in a neighboring German state, after an unidentified witness provided information on possible plans for an attack.
North Rhine-Westphalia state's interior ministry said there was "no concrete threat situation."

Rebel Belle
by Rachel Hawkins
Series: Rebel Belle, #1
Released on: April 8th, 2014
Publisher: Putnam Juvenille
Rating: 3 stars
Word Rating: Perfectly fun
Reviewed by: Mel
Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.
Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him—and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.
With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.
Harper has everything and she knows it. She's got a hot boyfriend, does well at school, has the bestest of best friends and is captain of everything there is to be captain of at her school. But her perfect life takes a dip in the deep end all because on the night of Homecoming, she forgot her lipstick. If she hadn't forgotten her lipstick, then she wouldn't be Paladin, protector of her childhood enemy, David Stark.
Harper was an amazing narrator. I loved her sass and girlish personality, which was always nice for a change. We're normally always presented with a kick-ass, blood thirsty female protag; and let's be honest, that's just getting boring. But a Southern Belle? Hell yeah! Furthermore, it's really refreshing to see the roles changed for once—a girl protecting the boy. It does remind me of Disruption by Jessica Shirvington where the girl introduces the boy into the foreign, hidden world.
I picked up the nearest weapon I could lay my hands on: a stapler. I lifted it, going for 'menacing.' I admit it lacked a certain elegance, but hey. It was worth a shot. David placed his hand on my arm and pushed it back down.There is quite a large romantic focus in this book, and unfortunately it is a love triangle. I thought Harper's boyfriend, Ryan was really sweet. He wasn't the typical jerk boyfriend that I expected to see. In many books, the author tends to make the current boyfriend look like a total ass so they can snap that relationship off and get the main character with the other guy but that doesn't happen here. Ryan is genuinely a charming boy and the author doesn't taint that. As for David, he was just as sweet, but nerdy sweet. (If you must know, yes, there is a difference.) David and Harper never got along as children, and their feelings towards each other had not changed since. Well… not until now.
"Just... that's embarrassing for all of us," he replied.
He and I had loathed each other since kindergarten. Heck, even before that. Mom says he's the only baby I ever bit in daycare.If you want a good time and some pure awesome characters, I highly recommend Rebel Belle. While the plot wasn't as strong, it was witty and humorous enough for me to be kept entertained. I'll definitely be picking up book 2 when it comes out.

From right to left, East to West, North to South, the same decimal is common SADNESSNowadays, the best of the news, is the worst to hear More worrisome is the plight of Muslims, and orchestrated attacks on Islam and Muslims, Most bad and sad news are always associated with Islam and Muslim countries Most dreaded religion in the world Most embraced religion Most misunderstood religion Most wrongly represented Most prejudiced Most negatively reported Is the final stage of religion, revelation and prophethood Led humanity in all fields of endeavour – Maths, Geo, Sci, Invention etc Led to global development and gave birth to modern science The driving force was Faith – Determining the Qiblah, Inheritance, and Travelling on Hajj etc. The Clash between Science and the Church however led to the battle against Religion First it was against the Church, then against Christianity, then against Religion, then against Islam. "Islam is the world's fastest-growing religion. In 1990, 935 million people were Muslims and this figure had escalated to around 1.2 billion by 2000, meaning that around one in five people follow Islam. Although the religion began in Arabia, by 2002 80% of all believers in Islam lived outside the Arab world. In the period 1990-2000, approximately 12.5 million more people converted to Islam than to Christianity" (Guinness World Records 2003, pg 102) Islam is a comprehensive code of life Q16:89 Muslims are submissive inhabitants of Allan's creatures (49;15, 2;208) Modernism, contemporary idealogies and ways of life of people (Capitalism, socialism, secularism etc) Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement in the arts, its set of cultural tendencies and associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries The battle against Islam manifested in Colonialism, emergency of modern states, pseudo-Muslims. Muslim power was attenuated with the demise of Khilafah The Modern questions are on Secularism, Freedom and Human Rights, Democracy and Women Liberation, Technology etc Those were the foundations of Modernism and Western Civilisation The earlier conflict brought the Church under Western Civilisation ambit till today. The emerging trend in Islamic Revival has thus become a problem for the West. The pagans fear the death of their ritual practices and the ascendancy of Islam which will also imply the demise of their socio-cultural ways, which modern governments are promoting. The Jews were aware of the coming of a prophet which they hope would be from them. Coming from the Arabs meant serious envy and attempts on his live. Now the fear is Palestine The Roman and Persian empires, the two reigning powers, saw Islam as a threat. They abandoned their mutual hostility to face Islam and just as today they may be open enemies but they unite against Islam and Muslims Adherents: Ignorance and inadequate knowledge of Islam; Compartmentalization of Islam Q2:85; Uncoordinated efforts of adherents to translate Islamic ideals to reality; Poor publicity ; Low self confidence due to inferiority complex Enemies of Islam: Islamophobia and high negative stigmatization Efforts of the enemies of Islam (orientalist school) People that are non receptive of change, especially the benefactor of the existing order, culture Islamophobia traced to Qurayshi in Mecca Psychological war Physical assault Social ostracization Economic depravity Politically unrecognized Islamophobia is a neologism[1] used generally to refer to prejudice against, hatred towards, irrational fear of, or a form of racism[2] towards, Muslims.[3][ "an outlook or world-view involving an unfounded dread and dislike of Muslims, which results in practices of exclusion and discrimination In 1997, the British Runnymede Trust defined Islamophobia as the "dread or hatred of Islam and therefore, [the] fear and dislike of all Muslims," stating that it also refers to the practice of discriminating against Muslims by excluding them from the economic, social, and public life of the nation. The concept also encompasses the opinions that Islam has no values in common with other cultures, is inferior to the West and is a violent political ideology rather than a Painting the picture of Muslim horde destroying holy places and Muslim horses desecrating such places by urinating on them. This led to the Crusades. Reconstruction of history to reflect that Muslim conquerors waded through the earth literarily with 'Qur'an in one hand and sword in the other.' Ingrain in the public mind that Jihad means only Qitaal, fighting and killing, a merciless killing of even the innocents. That Shari'ah means nothing other than cutting of hands and it is primitive, archaic, even unjust. That Islam oppresses women and domesticate them Therefore, that Islam and Muslims are violent, love bloodletting and are always too eager for war and ample evidence in Iraq, Boko-Haram, Palestine, etc. All above + Name metamorphorsis Fundamentalists Extremists Insurgents Terrorists Fanatics Now in Nigeria, Boko Haram Military Power – Personnel and Weapon of war Media – Ownership of institution, Personnel and Training The People – Organised Labour Unions, Civil Societies, and Cultural Groups Economy – The ownership controls Deep State, Foreign Economic Support, Foreign investment/withdrawal WAYFORWARD Constructive engagement through Human capital dev Social and cultural identity Economic independence Military strength Technological advancement Morally upright Spiritually sound Receptive apologists/Indigenous foreigners Silent lamentations/passivity Islam-western nexus (interpreting Islam in western context) Emotional /Extremist reactions Constructive engagement Propagation Planning and building structures Expanding base Reviewing present and projecting future Critical success factors Self confidence and self belief Ideological soundness Intellectual vibrancy Economic independency Cultural identity Ideological building (Mosque) Brotherhood Erecting structures (Market, economic base) Self-reformation: Ideological soundness, purely sound worship, civilisation in thought, strength of body, earning ability, capability to control internal instinct, organisation in affairs, consciousness of time management, usefulness for others, soundness of morals Establishing Muslim home Establishing Muslim community or society Freeing the lands of Muslims Establishing Islamic Government Establishing the Khilaafah Assuming the commandership of the world Know Islam Believe Islam Practice Islam Call to Islam Defend Islam Bond together in the process of the Islamic work Re-populate the mosque, especially with youth Re-energise the Mosque as a tool for reformation Create rapport between the elders and the youths Establishment of Da'wah Support Institutions Let all become Da'wah Ambassadors, Develop Detailed Plan for the Work and the Worker Cooperation with others and eventual unity of all Allow for specialisation in areas of best performance Establish standard Mosques in the newly evolving communities The war between falsehood and truth is eternal, cannot end till end of time.

I've bookmarked this recipe from Wendy of Table For 2 for quite awhile now . Well, 2 years ago to be exact but never get around to make it . I've never use avocado in bakes before & to be honest I'm not keen of this fruit . But surprising this cake was very rich & tasty . Although the flavour of the avocado is quite subtle but with the addition of condensed milk gave it a delicious moist creamy taste to the cake . It was not overly sweet & I love the natural green color . My family was quite amazed that this is actually an avocado cake . Well, so do I ! LOL

Welcome to the 2^8th sarcasm report! Momentous day! So let's get right to it.
June 24, 2016
Yahoo Finance:
After the Brexit turmoil, expect a stock-market rebound
Q: When can we expect the stock market rebound?
A: Just after the Brexit turmoil ends.
Q: When can we expect the Brexit turmoil to end?
A: Just before the stock market rebounds.
Q: When would the best time to buy stocks be?
A: Just before the stock market rebounds.
Q: Would it therefore be best to buy just after the Brexit turmoil ends?
A: Yes.
Q: Is there a way we can know exactly when to buy?
A: Yes. You will want to buy just before the stock market rebounds.
Q: Exactly how will we know?
A: The Brexit turmoil will have just ended.
Q: What's the best way to know that the Brexit turmoil has not ended?
A: The stock market is not rebounding.
Q: What if the Brexit turmoil takes a long time to end?
A: Then the stock market rebound may take a long time to start.
Q: If the goal is to buy stocks after the Brexit turmoil ends but before the stock market rebounds, then how might I accomplish this?
A: You need to be informed that the Brexit turmoil is over before other investors cause the stock market to rebound.
Q: As a retail investor, how could I do this?
A: Rapidly click on Yahoo Finance headlines until you see "Brexit Turmoil Has Ended" then rapidly click the buy button on your broker's website.
Q: How will Yahoo Finance most likely know that the Brexit turmoil has ended?
A: The stock market will have rebounded.
Q: So how will I be buying at the best time if I wait to see the news?
A: This time could be different.
Q: There were previous times?
A: Yes. There was a Great Depression, an oil crisis in the 1970s, a dotcom bust recently, and a housing bust even more recently, to name just a few.
Q: Were there always stock market rebounds after the turmoil?
A: Yes, without exception.
Q: What if there is always turmoil in the future?
A: Don't ask too many silly questions. The economy is always strong and resilient.
Q: Strong and resilient enough for "normalized" interest rates?
A: You ^*# #%*% naysaying little #%^*ing #%*%!
Q: Why the potty mouth?
A: Sorry, I just noticed that the stock market futures are in the red.
Q: Does that mean the Brexit turmoil isn't over yet?
A: Yes.
Q: Is turmoil another way of saying that the stock market is declining?
A: Yes. Nobody ever says that the markets have turmoiled to new highs.
Q: So once the stock market stops declining we can expect a stock market rebound?
A: Yes. Once the turmoil is over it will be the end of the turmoil.

Angelique Kerber looks to cap career-best season by winning WTA Finals
Regardless of how she performs in Singapore, Kerber will be presented with the year-end number one trophy after Williams pulled out of the elite eight-player tournament with a shoulder injury.tennis Updated: Oct 21, 2016 15:47 IST
The absence of Serena Williams may have robbed the season-ending WTA Finals of a blockbuster showdown with Angelique Kerber, but the great American's withdrawal only means more accolades for the world number one from Germany after her breakout year.
Regardless of how she performs in Singapore, Kerber will be presented with the year-end number one trophy after Williams, the only woman with any chance of overtaking her at the top of the rankings, pulled out of the elite eight-player tournament with a shoulder injury.
Kerber will become just the 12th woman to finish the year ranked number one since computer rankings were introduced in 1975, and no one would begrudge the 28-year-old's claim to the title after a career-best season in which she lifted the Australian and US Open trophies and finished runner-up at Wimbledon and the Rio Olympics.
"This is one of the things I have been dreaming of," Kerber said. "I have worked extremely hard to become the best player I can be and this is a reflection of that effort and the wonderful year I have had."
With the ranking trophy safely in the bag, Kerber now has her sights on picking up another major piece of silverware, the Billie Jean King Trophy for the winner of the prestigious end-of-season tournament.
Deep field
Restricted to the world's top eight players, the WTA Finals is regarded as the most important annual event in women's tennis outside the four majors, boasting a star-studded honour roll.
While Williams has won the tournament five times, Kerber has only qualified twice before, in 2012 and 2013, bowing out in the round-robin phase each time, giving her added incentive to cap her year by winning the October 30 final.
She will go into the event as the favourite this time but facing a tough challenge from a strong and deceptively deep field, which includes last year's winner, Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska, and reigning French Open champion Garbine Muguruza of Spain.
Muguruza had her own breakout year in 2015, reaching the Wimbledon final and then the semi-finals in her first appearance at the WTA Finals.
This year, the 23-year-old went one better, claiming her first major when she upset Williams in the French Open final. She now wants to make another statement on the indoor court of Singapore.
"I think the important tournaments are the ones you've got to play well, the ones that really count, the ones that really take you to the top level," she said.
"I just have a very aggressive game. I go for my shots with no regrets, even if I have to play to the fence."
Romania's Simona Halep, runner-up two years ago, has also qualified for Singapore, along with Czech Karolina Pliskova, who ended Williams' reign as world number one in the semi-finals of the US Open, as well as American Madison Keys and Dominika Cilbulkova of Slovakia.
Even though the tournament starts on Sunday, the last qualifying spot remains undecided with Britain's Johanna Konta tentatively booked to compete but at risk of being overtaken in the rankings by Svetlana Kuznetsova, if the Russian wins this weekend's Kremlin Cup in Moscow.
"If I win the tournament, it would be amazing and that's what I'm expecting," Kuznetsova said.

The review, which is expected to begin in mid-January and to last only a week, pits the airlines' agencies against one another. Burnett picked up the Delta business last fall, while the Euro network took over the $39 million Air France account in June.
The formal launch of the still-unnamed alliance is set for the first half of next year. The venture also includes Aeromexico, and is likely to add Korean Air Lines. Along with pitching creative, the agencies may have a chance to suggest names for the alliance.
Air France and Burnett executives referred calls about the review to Delta; a spokesman for the airline said he had no knowledge of the review.
The cooperation agreement marks the fifth major global airline network set up since 1997, as the industry rushes to keep up with international business travelers. Such linkups allow airlines to tout themselves as global players while jointly selling seats and offering frequent-flier miles.
"There's a belief that you have to be globally connected to survive, and that's true to some degree," said Michael Boyd, an airline consultant.
The Delta/Air France-led venture joins the Star Alliance led by United Airlines and Lufthansa German Airlines; the Oneworld Alliance headed by American Airlines and British Airways; the yet-to-be-official Wings Alliance led KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Northwest Airlines and Continental Airlines; and the Swissair-led Qualiflyer Group.
The airlines within those alliances accounted for almost 50% of the world air-travel market in 1998, according to published reports.
The Star Alliance held a 16% passenger share of traffic, followed by Oneworld's 10% and Delta/Air France's 8%, just slightly ahead of the Wings group.
Of the world's 10 largest airlines, which control some 40% of scheduled passengers, only US Airways is not now in an alliance.
The cooperation fever began in 1993 with the agreement between KLM and Northwest, but has accelerated since the Star Alliance formed two years ago.
"It's marketing," said Adam Pilarski, senior VP at consultancy Avitas. "But once somebody starts, it's a defensive move."
The Star, Oneworld and Qualiflyer groups have all launched print-driven ad campaigns targeted to business travelers. The ads seek to "solidify brand loyalty," Mr. Boyd said.
In July, the Wings Alliance tapped Ogilvy & Mather, New York, for an estimated $50 million account, although ads are not expected to appear until next year when the group becomes a reality.
Burnett won Delta's estimated $100 million global business in September, which may give it an edge for the new account.
It was unclear which Euro RSCG agencies would pitch for the business. Jordan McGrath Case & Partners/Euro RSCG, New York, has Air France in the U.S., while Euro RSCG/BETC, Paris, holds the global account.

Conducted for cause marketing company Pearlman Group, the study found 92% of respondents believe it's important for marketers to seek out ways to become good corporate citizens, and they are most interested in those that get involved in environmental, education and health issues.
Conducted by phone among 802 adults in June and July, the study concluded that almost two-thirds of Americans at least sometimes factor a company's involvement with a cause into buying decisions. The survey has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
One in five consumers say they frequently refuse to buy the best quality products because they don't like the marketer.
Three companies taking different cause-marketing tacks are American Express Co., General Motors Corp. and Sara Lee Corp.
GM in October announced a program called Concept Cure with the Council of Fashion Designers of America, where five well-known clothing designers each customized a GM car. The cars will be auctioned off by yearend, with the proceeds benefiting Georgetown University's Nina Hyde Center for Breast Cancer Research (see accompanying story).
"Concept Cure is a way for us to evolve our relationship with the fashion industry and allow us to connect emotionally with female consumers by supporting causes that are of extreme importance to them," said Philip Guarascio, VP-general manager, marketing and advertising for GM's North American Operations.
AmEx's Charge Against Hunger kicked off its fourth year Nov. 1. Through December, AmEx dedicates 3 cents per customer transaction to Share Our Strength, an anti-hunger organization.
Sara Lee this year holds its 10th annual Frontrunner Awards, honoring women whose achievements have made an impact on society. A $25,000 donation goes in each winner's name to a non-profit organization. This year's winners: Jane Alexander, chair of the National Endowment for the Arts; Coretta Scott King, founder of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Non-violent Social Change; Geraldine Laybourne, president, Disney/
ABC Cable Networks; and Madeleine Albright, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

SANTA ANA — Movie posters covered the walls of a small room containing a large desk covered in different sized monitors and control boards full of knobs and switches.
The room is the control center of "Art Attack," the Orange County High School of the Arts' daily video announcements that recent graduate Adriana Baird, 18, oversaw as technical director.
"I'm in here every day," she said in an interview last month.
Baird, a Newport Beach resident, was one of 17 Newport-Mesa residents who graduated from OCHSA at a ceremony June 14 at the Calvary Chapel in Santa Ana.
The Santa Ana public charter school, which serves more than 1,500 students in grades 7 to 12, gives students an intensive arts education on top of the normal academic offerings.
Baird decided to go to OCHSA in seventh grade, instead of Corona del Mar Middle School. She wanted to study musical theater, but she always planned to come back to Newport for high school.

October 28 in history (via Wikipedia)
I wonder if they took offense at being called fascists.
Birthday quote
"As part of 'moral philosophy,' the concept of 'natural liberty' clicks easily into place. Man, as an ethical integer, is either free to choose between good and bad courses within the limits of his circumstances, or he is not. If he is not free, if he can only accept what is handed to him from above (by fate, or by decree of the human agents of fate), then there is not much use in talking about morality or ethics. To make any sense of the idea of morality, it must be presumed that the human being is responsible for his actions-and responsibility cannot be understood apart from the presumption of freedom of choice."
- John Chamberlain (October 28, 1903 – April 9, 1995)
Happy Birthday songwriter Desmond Child!

Some fruits and vegetables are more likely to be contaminated with pesticide residues, so are worth buying organic if you're worried about pesticides in your food.
Of the fruits and vegetables you buy every week, which should you buy organic? Pesticides can be absorbed into fruits and vegetables, and leave trace residues, so choosing organic can limit your exposure. Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, releases a Shopper's Guide to Pesticides that identifies fruits and vegetables with the highest and lowest pesticide residues.
Eating more fruits and vegetables—organic or not—is better than eating none at all. If buying all organic isn't a priority—or a financial reality for you—you might opt to buy organic specifically when you're selecting foods that are most heavily contaminated with pesticide and insecticide residues. EWG's Dirty Dozen is the list of foods with the highest amount of pesticide residues, so consider buying these fruits and vegetables organic, starting with the most contaminated food.
1. Strawberries
Strawberries topped this year's list of fruits and vegetables most contaminated with pesticides. According to the Environmental Working Group, one-third of all conventional strawberry samples contained 10 or more pesticides (one strawberry sample contained 22 different pesticide residues). If you're concerned about pesticides, consider buying organic strawberries.
2. Spinach
Almost all of the conventional spinach samples (97 percent) contained pesticide residues, including permethrin, a neurotoxic insecticide.
3. Nectarines
Almost all of the conventional nectarine samples (94 percent) contained two or more pesticides.
4. Apples
A large majority of the conventional apple samples (80 percent) contained diphenylamine, a pesticide that's banned in Europe.
5. Grapes
The conventional grape samples contained an average of five different pesticide residues, with almost all (96 percent) containing some pesticide residues.

Anachrony in the U.S.A.
June 15th, 2009 | Tags: fonts, nerding, punk rock, rathergate, typography
Never mind the bollocks and never mind the provenance. Imagine you're an auction house selling off a flyer for a Sex Pistols show from 1978. Now imagine that said flyer has a huge chunk of Comic Sans (designed by V. Connare in 1994) in it. The thread on typophile that presents this sad case is the sort of thing that you'll love if you're the same kind of nerd I am.
Unlike the infamous forged Killian documents, which were clearly the product of a delusional and careless conspiracy theorist's extended reverie, some effort clearly went into this Sex Pistols forgery. The creator of this fake flyer didn't merely dump some text into Microsoft Word's AutoAnarchy Wizard (see below); he or she was obviously concerned with aping at least the most basic characteristics of the form. The fact that the flyer included four consecutive characters in Comic Sans makes me wonder if the creator wanted to be caught, whether he or she intended such flagrant anachronism to be a John Lydon-style two-finger salute to the sorts of people wealthy enough to buy old punk rock flyers at auction.
RIYL: See my take on the Killian scandal and consensus genres, which is the source of the above image; see also my post on Nike and Minor Threat, in particular the humorless, outraged comments from (I assume) suburban kids who were born years after Minor Threat broke up.

Real talk, it is pretty damn clear that the social media's have a negative effect on our dating lives. They spark jealousy, insecurity, and confusion to all daters world over. How could they not? We are all constantly in touch with everyone's living and waking moments and we pay especially close attention to these "moments" or posts from people that are potential love interests.
The thing with the media's however, (let's use Instagram as a prime example) is… more often than not, when we click "post" with a witty caption having THE time of our lives, it is a fabrication of our realities. Our Instagram feeds turn into who we want people to think we are, and how great we want people to believe our lives are, but one has to ask… How close are our timelines to our realities?
We would love to say that just girls "post to please" so to speak, as we are the gender that is better known for being vanity conscious. However, the dude's might be on our level when it comes to their Instagram posts. Both genders have become immersed in the throes of portraying the "perfect" and "cool" image on Instagram. Do we ever stop to wonder if the persona we are posting might be a huge turnoff for a love interest? Perhaps the missing piece of the puzzle of failed relationships lies in the beige camera icon on our iphone screens.
It is a sad truth that the Instagram activity of a man can make or break him as a potential love interest. We are sure there is a similar flip side of this that guys experience, but we are going to tell this from the ladies point of view…
Throughout our years on Instagram we have seen this guy many many times, and he is, without further ado, Mr. Instagram Troll. Meaning, he seemed completely normal and like a viable dating option, until Instagram came into the picture. He posts to show he is desired by many hotties, he is the ultimate socialite, he works out like all the time, and he should be the number one desire of your affection. This is a guy who can begin his journey to a girls heart as a promising prospect only to end up off the deep end in our dating pool.
So here is how this potential boy becomes Mr. Instagram Troll… When a girl is interested in a guy, she will inevitably follow him on Instagram. And yes, all girls creep. As simple as just one click into that camera icon, her positive thoughts about this guy come crashing and burning in front of her very eyes.
Her timeline is flooded nightly as he posts photos at the hottest bars and clubs while surrounded by groups of women. It doesn't take an idiot to figure out that these women aren't his best gal pals from college, they're all brand new girls he's meeting every night. Don't worry, he also shoots all these pretty young things a follow as well as a tag in his post.
This formerly nice, normal gentleman has transformed into a man who now seems like he thinks he's the next Dan Bilzerian. He is over eager to show the world how desired he is by women and how awesome he is. His posts seem to basically cry out; single ladies you better fight to tie me down, I'm one hot piece!
Next, let's flip to the wonderfully informative "Activity" page. His name constantly populates on here with his "likes". Of the 8 photos he's liked in the past hour, 7 are of scantily clad Insta Models with boobs and butts out for the world to see. Women posting practically naked photos in revealing outfits with captions that are supposed to make it less slutty, such as; "loving my new green juice today! #fit #vegan #healthylifestyle"…. the claimed green juice is not prominently photographed of course. You can actually catch the top of her straw maybeeee a little bit in the bottom right corner. You know what we mean by this girl.
As a single young girl it is HARD to not let this persona completely ruin this guy as an option. After all, you think he is a full fledged Mr. Instagram troll. Not only do his posts look like he is overcompensating for some deep insecurities, the photos he likes makes it seem like he is only interested in mega sluts. Any self respecting girl does not want to be with a guy who seems like he is running around ready to pounce on the next mini skirt that walks his way.
The real kicker here is, Mr. Instagram Troll may not realize his social media presence is a huge turn off. He might think that this places him on a pedestal of "cool" and desirable. In reality, it leads the girl to believe that he just isn't ready for a monogamous relationship at all.
The tale of the Mr Instagram Troll is one that everyone should keep in mind while posting their own chosen personas for all to see (Yes, girls too!). We are in a time where judgement based solely on social media is not only acceptable,it happens all the time! If you look wild and untameable in your Instagram, anyone will assume you ARE wild and untamable.

Migmatite, in geology, rock composed of a metamorphic (altered) host material that is streaked or veined with granite rock; the name means "mixed rock." Such rocks are usually gneissic (banded) and felsic rather than mafic in composition; they may occur on a regional scale in areas of high-grade metamorphism.
Many migmatites probably represent the partial fusion of the metamorphic host during extreme metamorphism; the components of the rock with the lower melting temperatures are fused and gather to produce the streaks of granite. The migmatites of some Precambrian metamorphic terrains may be the result of this process. Migmatite also can form near large intrusions of granite when some of the magma is injected into the neighbouring metamorphic rocks.

Dedicated servers have been around since the Internet first began. Although dedicated servers are very different to the original dedicated server, they are in many ways similar. The common misconception is that dedicated servers only have one job. In fact, dedicated servers can multi-task. Servers can be used for any of the following requirements.
Server hosting is very often used for websites. A server can host lots of shared hosting websites, or in some cases just the one. As Linux is thought as more secure, web hosting servers normally run this operating system. It is also cheaper to run due to not having to pay for a license for the operating system. Web hosting comes in two forms- shared and reseller. Shared hosting works from a single account. You can host as many domains as you like on a reseller account.
Servers can also be used as a database server. The server can be setup to run one of many database engines depending on the operating system. MySQL normally runs along side web hosting. However, there is also InnoDB, Oracle, and also a Microsoft database engine. Most of the websites on the internet are powered by databases.
Dedicated game servers are used to power gaming servers. Smoother game play is one of the reasons for using a dedi server over your home PC to play online. This leaves the dedicated server to bear the load. A big reason for using dedicated servers for online gaming, is the connectivity. Being hosted in datacentres, dedicated servers have a fast connection to the internet.
File servers also make use of server hosting. If you are a regular Internet user, you will have been linked to photos on the net. There are websites that utilises file servers to store these photos. These are supported by banners or advertisements. File servers are also used to store programs such as software applications. The final use of server is for voice over IP. From Teamspeak to Mumble, VOIP is a growing trend on the net. How these programs work is the voice software is installed and runs on the dedicated server. Users then connect to the dedicated server for a fast connection.
The recent emergence of cloud software has put dedicated servers under scrutiny. Cloud software is able to make use of many dedicated servers. However given the amount of server hosts still around, dedicated servers are still the popular choice of the Internet enthusiast.
For an first class dedicated server company, visit Melbourne. Melbourne's dedicated hosting can be found at their website.

One of the things that will surely happen in future is that the FDA reviewer wants to see the EHR data point that was used as the source of a data point in the SDTM submission. The investigator will then ask the sponsor who will then ask the site...: another delay in bringing this innovatine new drug or therapy to the market. In the mean time patients will die ...
So can't we have the EHR datapoint in the SDTM itself?
Of course! It is even very easy, but only if the FDA would finally decide to get rid of SAS-XPT, this ancient binary format with all its stupid limitations.
Already some years ago, the CDISC XML Technologies Team developed the Dataset-XML standard, as a simple replacement for SAS-XPT. The FDA did a pilot, but since then nothing has happened - "business as usual" seems to have returned.
Dataset-XML was developed to allow the FDA a smooth transition from XPT to XML. It doesn't change anything to SDTM, it just changes the way the data is transported from A to B. However, Dataset-XML has the potential to do things better, as it isn't bound to the two-dimensional table approach of XPT (which again forces SDTM to be 2-dimensional tables).
So, let's try to do better!
Suppose that I do have a VS dataset with a systolic blood pressure for subject "CDISC01.100008" and the data point was retrieved from the EHR of the patient. Forget about adding the EHR data point in the SDTM using ancient SAS-XPT! We need Dataset-XML.
This is how the SDTM records look:
Now, the EHR is based on the new HL7-FHIR standard, and the record is very similar to the one at https://www.hl7.org/fhir/observation-example-bloodpressure.xml.html. How do we get this data point in our SDTM?
Dataset-XML, as it is based on CDISC ODM, is extensible. This means that XML data from other sources can be embedded as long as the namespace of the embedded XML is different from the ODM namespace. As FHIR has an XML implementation, the FHIR data point can easily be embedded into the Dataset-XML SDTM record.
In the following example (which you can download from here), I decided to add the FHIR-EHR data point to the SDTM record, and not to VSORRES (for which one could plead), as I think that the data point belongs to the record, and not to the "original result" - we will discuss this further on.
The SDTM record then becomes:
Remark that the "Observation" element "lives" in the HL7 namespace "http://hl7.org/fhir".
continued by:
Important here is that LOINC coding is used for an exact description of the test (systolic, sitting - LOINC code 8459-0), and that SNOMED-CT is used for coding the body part. This is important - the SDTM and CT teams are still refusing to allow the LOINC code to be used as the unique identifier for the test in VS and LB. Instead, they reinvented the wheel and developed their own list of codes, leading to ambiguities. LOINC coding is mandated to be used in most national EHR systems, including the US Meaningful Use. The same applies to the use of UCUM units.
Now, if you inspect the record carefully, you will notice that a good amount of the information is present twice. The only information that is NOT in the EHR datapoint is STUDYID, USUBJID (although,..), DOMAIN, VISITNUM, VISITDY (planned study day) and VSDY (actual day). STUDYID is an artefact of SAS-XPT, as ODM/Dataset-XML could allow to group all records per subject (using ODM "SubjectData/@SubjectKey). DOMAIN is also an artefact, as within the data set, DOMAIN must always be "VS" and is given by the define.xml anyway with a reference to the correct file.VSDY is derived and can easily be calculated "on the fly" by the FDA tools. Even VSSEQ is artificial and could easily be replaced by a worldwide unique identifier (making it worldwide referenceable, as in ... FHIR). VISIT (name) is also derived in the case of a planned visit and can be looked up in TV (trial visits).
So, if we allow Dataset-XML to become more-dimensional (grouping data by subject), the only SDTM variables that explicitely need to be present are VISITNUM and VISITDY. So essentially, our SDTM record could be reduced to:
Remark the annotations I made, making the mapping to SDTM variables.
If the reviewer still likes to see the record in the classic two-dimensional table way, that's piece of cake, an extremely simple transformation (e.g. using XSLT) does the job.
Now, reviewers always complain about file sizes (however, reviewers should be forbidden to use "files"), and will surely do when they see how much "size" the FHIR information takes. But who says that the FHIR information must be in the same file? Can't it just be referenced, or better, can't we state where the information can be found using a secured RESTful web service?
This is done all the time in FHIR! So we could further reduce our SDTM record to:
Remark that the "http://..." is not simply an HTTP addres: just using it in a browser will not allow to obtain the subject's data point. The RESTful web service in our case will require authentication, usually using the OAuth2 authenticion mechanism.
Comments are very welcome - as ever ...

Coffee with a Cop Makes a Visit to Brother's Deli on District B-3 in Mattapan: Thanks to everybody who stopped by Coffee with a Cop early this morning (Wednesday, June 24, 2015) at the Brother's Deli located at 1638 Blue Hill Ave in Mattapan. Chief Gross, Superintendent Bernie O'Rourke, Deputy Joe Harris, officers from District B-3 (Mattapan) including Captain Haseeb Hosein along with members of the BPD's Neighborhood Watch Unit including Wallace Tilford and Kerry Ryan all stopped by Brother's to share a cup of coffee and a whole lotta' conversation with community members about public safety issues and concerns in a relaxed, informal setting. Those who attended welcomed the opportunity to meet, greet and get to know the officers patrolling their neighborhood. Said one officer, "This is a great way for us to better understand and learn more about the issues impacting our community friends and partners." If interested in learning more about attending a Neighborhood Watch Group or future Coffee with a Cop event, please call 617.343-4345 or email: email@example.com.

Both scenarios involved an attack by two members of the Alliance of Awesomeness on Mothron's secret lair. Nothing particularly inventive: Mothron has built a secret weapon to blackmail the world with and the heroes have to get through him and his minions and destroy it.
In order to understand the stats for the characters, refer to the very short but very cool rules by Kaptain Kobold - Clobberin' Time.
Game 1
The first game had Aphid and Leather Lass up against Mothron and his no-good-niks.
Aphid had agility, long range normal attack, enhanced strength and science. He is a level 3 character.
Leather Lass had resilient, martial arts and short range normal attack. She is a level 3 character.
Mothron had block, flight, medium range normal attack, leader. He is a level 3 character.
The 3 minions had long range normal and a stat I invented - armoured, which allows a reroll of 1 defensive die. They were Level 1.
|The lair set up - my 7 year old built the scenery. Mothron is standing next to his secret weapon.
|Aphid knocks down a minion only to be zapped by Mothron himself..
|Aphid gets back to his feet, ready to return to battle.
|Aphid crashes into Mothron and gives him a roundhouse right. The legos are marking wounds.
|Leather Lass steps up and Mothron goes down!
|The poor old Moth minions are no match for the two heroes.
|The last minion puts up a pitiful resistance - secret weapon captured!
Game 2
In this game Nuclein and Tiger Girl would be attacking Mothron's oddly identical lab and secret weapon. Obviously some of his many minions had busted him out of prison and it was straight back to the same plan for the mothy one.
Nuclein was a level 3 character with super strength and resilient, giving him all red dice in attack and defence.
Tiger Girl was a level 3 character with agility, martial arts, rage and extra movement. This gave her rerolls in defence and attack, as well as a red dice in attack until the rage lifted.
|An oddly similar lab here...
|Tiger Girl uses her extra movement to get straight into combat with a minion. She lost her rage in the first turn.
|Meanwhile Nuclein heads straight towards Mothron.
|Oops! Mothron's blasts knock Nuclein out just like that. 3 red defence dice are no good if they can't roll over 4!
|Sensing victory Mothron and his minions surround Tiger Girl, who takes a wound.
|But her rerolls keep her in the game. In a series of combats Tiger Girl defeats all of her enemies! Another victory for the Alliance of A-ness!
Points to ponder
Red dice vs rerolls
The interesting thing in this game was the discrepancy between the benefit of red dice and rerolls. Potentially Nuclein can hit 6 times or block 6 hits if he rolls sixes on all dice. But Mothron managed to roll a 4 and two fives - all hits - and in reply Nuclein offered 1,2 and 3. This meant that he was taken out in one turn. A reroll had a 50% chance of keeping him staggering around with only one wound remaining, compared to a 42.13% chance of rolling a six. Now Nuclein is supposed to have a tough hide like the Thing, so should he have 3 red dice AND a reroll? Is that too much? Or two red dice and 1 reroll? I am hopeless with stats so I figure I can only really go with trial and error.
Another solution might be to go the way that Alan first intended and make all distance combat weak dice (hitting on a 5+ rather than a 4+). When I first played the game I found that distance combat was pretty ineffective, and should use normal dice. I may have been a bit hasty in that. However, if Mothron had rolled 3 white dice in close combat it would have had the same result and we are back to the fact that 3 red dice is not as good as the chance of a reroll.
Then again, maybe I'm overthinking it - bad guys do beat up the good guys sometimes!
Using minions
Making the minions level 2 characters helped them out, but I changed their close combat rating back to 1 die, leaving their ranged attacks and wounds at 2. I did this to make them more survivable, and to make their weapons potentially effective - 1 dice wasn't doing much. But in hand to hand they should get bowled pretty easy.
Outnumbered combat
There are no rules for being outnumbered, so when Tiger Girl was surrounded I gave her attackers an extra 1 close combat die each. This wasn't enough, and on reflection I think that if a character is outnumbered in close combat they should roll all weak dice.
I need to try to fit another game in this week, back home with my proper terrain. Not missing this at all:
