CAS(E) this Sketch #197
Hi my crafty friends! I want to thank the design team at CTS for the honorable mention for the card I entered in last week's sketch challenge. A HUGE thank you to the team for making pet themed cards and dedicating the challenge as CAS(E) for a cause.
Today I'm back playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #197. I think this sparkly paw print patterned paper is too awesome to cover up so is perfect for this week's sketch challenge. The sentiment was stamped in memento tuxedo black and is from the cat-itude stamp set by MFT.
I die cut a small dog in coordinating cardstock and adhered it in the corner.
That's it for today. Hope you have a great week!

This semester I'm attending the course Processing of Sequences and Methods and Algorithm in Computational Biology (basically DNA and proteins). One of the focus of it is the use of the Hidden Markov Models to solve many of it's problems. One well studied problems is how to find codifying sequences (snippets that can be translated into proteins) in a given sequence of DNA, which has both codifying and non codifying regions. One of the most used techniques is called CpG islands.
In a random DNA sequence we have a lower frequency of two ((G)uanine and (C)ytosine) than the other two nucleotide types ((A)denine and (T)hymine) due to a phenomenon called DNA methylation. Due to this methylation, it's more probable to occur a deletion of a C and G nucleotides than with A or T
|DNA double helix structure
In the species evolution, occurs that genes which are essential for it's survival cannot mutate much, otherwise the organism can't live and reproduce to transmit it's gene to their descendants. Because of this, is very unlikely that even with lots of generations, those genes doesn't suffer much alteration. It's important to notice that non codifying regions can mutate without affecting the organism because it doesn't affect a vital part of the genetic code.
With these two facts in hand we can see that mutation of the DNA can occur more frequently on non codifying regions. As the methylation of C is a very common mutation cause, we can observe that non codifying regions will have less C and G due to the methylation which it doesn't interfere (much) in the organism. The opposite occurs with codifying regions because it has less frequent mutations.
|CpG island around an important human DNA regulation site
With this information in our hands we can use it to discover regions which are likely to be a codifying region. The sites which contains greater concentrations of C-phosphate-G (called CpG islands) are a strong indicator that it hasn't suffered much mutations through the generations. So it's very probable to be an area of interest for biologists. I'll describe in the next posts how can we identify these CpG using HMM and the ghmm python library.

Love-A-Thon 2014: Award Time!
This was the last mini-challenge of the Love-A-Thon and it was supposed to go up last night but I just totally did not feel like doing it. Then, anyway. Because I actually really do like this idea. I think it's so much fun to give out like virtual bloggy awards to bloggers to let them know how much I appreciate them!
best blog design.
This is so tough because there are literally TONS and TONS of bloggers with fantastic designs. One that really sticks out is Pop! Goes The Reader. I love the color scheme and the entire thing just oozes such a fun vibe. I'm also a huge fan of Novel Sounds (which doesn't come as a surprise because it's designed by the very same Cindy Pepper who's responsible for Pop! Goes The Reader). Oh Chrys has owls (always a bonus) and a color scheme I wish I could claim for myself. Constellation Chronicles also has such a gorgeous design and reminds me of those winter-themed games I used to play online. Both I Swim For Oceans and The Perpetual Page Turner have adorable designs that bring a smile to my face every time I see them. I can't forget about The Novel Hermit and the narwhal (can I have one too?). Or Live To Read, Love To Read, Natflix & Books, The Paper Sea, Hello Chelly, So Obsessed With, Stay Bookish, The Starry Eyed Revue, A Novel Idea, A Reader of Fictions, Effortlessly Reading and The Story Siren. I realize those are a lot of bloggers but everyone just has such attractive sites! If I HAD to pick a favourite though, it would have to go to Rather Be Reading. Their design is basically everything I could ever want for mine and it is absolutely gorgeous. Love it!
best weekly feature.
Right now, I'm really loving Life of a Blogger @ Novel Heartbeat because it helps me to learn a little more about my favourite bloggers outside of reading and blogging. Top Ten Tuesday @ The Broke and Bookish has been a favourite since I started blogging. I'm not participating much any more but when I do, it's very fun! Also Books and a Beverage @ The Book Addict's Guide and Procrastination Pro Tips @ Forever Young Adult. There are also so many great non-weekly features that I feel need recognition so hello, Listen Up @ As Told By Rachel, Book Bags @ Hello Chelly (one of my all time favourites), Nailed It @ Rather Be Reading, and Arts and Crafts @ Novel Sounds.
best discussion posts.
My top pick would probably be Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner. I find she always has great things to say that make ME want to talk too! Charlotte @ Gypsy Reviews also has wonderful discussions, as does Chrys @ Oh Chrys. I love reading discussions by Sandra @ Tea Between Books, they're so witty and I find myself nodding at everything she says. Asti @ A Bookish Heart also has great discussions and so does Josephine @ Dudette Reads. I love Mel @ The Daily Prophecy's discussions as well.
friendliest blogger.
What even is this question because literally all bloggers are super friendly. Anyway, when I think of friendly, I immediately think of Asti @ A Bookish Heart. She's actually the sweetest and nicest blogger ever. So, so kind and so, so friendly. Cal @ Read Books and Live Green is also so friendly. She's literally so sweet, my teeth ache. Lesley Marie @ Books and Beautiful World is really nice as well, so is Emily @ Forever Literary, Shelly @ Readiculous Reads, Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner, Jasmine @ Flip That Page, Meredith @ Lit Up Review (and Mere Mai!), Liz @ Fangirls of Fiction, and Emily @ Constellation Chronicles. I'm forgetting people but actually, every single blogger I've met was so nice so really everyone deserves this award. And of course, our wonderful Love-A-Thon hosts Katelyn @ Kate's Tales of Books and Bands and Alexa @ Alexa Loves Books. So sweet and friendly!
most helpful reviews.
I trust Christina @ A Reader of Fictions very much with her judgement on books. If there's a book I'm iffy on, I usually check her blog and see if she's reviewed it. Gillian @ Writer of Wrongs has reviews that I trust as well. Anna @ Anna Reads has great reviews too - short but ones that always manage to convey her thoughts perfectly. Bookistry also has the most amazing reviews and her judgement is held very high in my book as well!
favourite bloggers to fangirl with.
I do most of my fangirling on Tumblr so I can't actually recall many bloggers that I've fangirled with. Liz @ Fangirls of Fiction is one (guys her Twitter is the best, like actually) and I remember fangirling with Judith @ Paper Riot over Once Upon A Time (oh my god, so soon). And uh, that's it? I know, lame list in comparisons to my other ones.
best surveys.
This goes to two bloggers: Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner (remember her Friday Fun posts? I loved them!) and - I'm sure someone has already beat me to it - Jasmine @ Flip That Page. Share some of your survey making skills, guys!
bloggers i miss the most.
In the blogosphere, things change very fast and bloggers come and go. Here are some of my favourite bloggers that aren't really blogging any more: Reem @ I Read and Tell, Meg @ Adrift on Vulcan, Lexi @ The Literature Lion, Steph @ Steph Su Reads, and Sash & Em @ Sash & Em. Please come back guys! Be like Kelly (from Radiant Shadows, now Pretty Little Reader) and come back. I miss you all!
best gif use.
I'm always admire bloggers who are able to seamlessly integrate gifs into their posts because it just adds so much personality to the words. When I think of bloggers who really have a good hold on gifs, a few come to mind like Debby @ Snuggly Oranges, Gillian @ Writer of Wrongs, and Christina @ A Reader of Fictions.
favourite new finds.
The Love-A-Thon is all about sharing bloggy love and finding new bloggers to love so I thought it would be a nice touch to end with this category. Relatively speaking, Dudette Reads has been a pretty recent find but with amazing discussions and great reviews, has quickly grown to be one of my favourites! Same with Singing and Reading in the Rain and Literary, Etc. Blogs I've found through the Love-A-Thon though that I really like are The Sea of Pages (not as an actual participant but through a blog roll) and Love At First Page.
So there are my bloggy awards! All great bloggers that have been featured so please, go and send them some love! And with that, my 2014 Love-A-Thon is officially over! I'm getting kind of teary-eyed to be honest because I had such a great time chatting with bloggers and writing up these posts. I cannot believe I have to wait until NEXT FEBRUARY until Love-A-Thon comes around again. Boo!

In 1994, I was very fortunate to begin my Pilates training with Romana Kryzanowska, a direct disciple of Joseph Pilates. I discovered very quickly that practicing Pilates benefited every aspect of my life. Little aches and pains from dancing seemed to vanish; my body became stronger, more supple, and I acquired better stamina for almost everything I tried. Pilates gave me a sense of physical power and well-being that I still cherish to this day.
As I began my teaching career, I couldn't help but be impressed with the way Pilates seemed to cure a multitude of ailments. With consistent practice, most of my clients' injuries seemed to vanish or resolve to the point where it was no longer a limiting factor in their lives. Everything from chronic back and neck issues, knee, shoulder and hip injuries, fibromyalgia, MS, asthma and much more were improved by consistent practice of this method. One by one I would pronounce to my clients, "another Pilates miracle!"

Once again this year, the Education for All Campaign was a great success, which stirred the interest of 175,000 Danish pupils in the plight of the world's poorest children
In spring, two out of three regular Danish schools had Oxfam IBIS' Reading Rocket on the timetable. 175,904 children held the book in their hands, and 8,497 teachers used the material in their teaching.
Zana Holsey Gramkov, Teacher at Vedbæk School, where everyone from class 0 to grade 5 has used the Reading Rocket and collected money for Burkina Faso.
"The Reading Rocket and the film that goes with it are great. You really know how to convey the happiness and playfulness that also exist among children in poor countries, so it's not all about the misery, making it something our pupils can relate to. It provides the children with a global perspective which is otherwise easily left out. And then the teaching materials are nothing less than amazing for us teachers to work with!"
"We've discovered that the children take instinctive pleasure in helping out. They just go wild when they hear that they can help children in other countries go to school by baking buns or selling lottery tickets. And they throw themselves into it with heart and soul. This is a good character trait to develop in them. They learn to ask what they can give others, rather than just caring about what they may gain from doing things."
These are the impressive figures that sum up the completion of this year's Whole World in School campaign. And it is a pass mark, if we ask campaign coordinator Heidi Brehm.
"The teachers' feedback is that the Reading Rocket is an integral part of their annual study plan. It contributes to making our citizens of the future interested in global affairs," she points out.
Oxfam IBIS has published the Reading Rocket every year since 2004. The book is a blend of fictional stories and portraits of children in developing countries. This year it was about Burkina Faso. It is a part of the Danish Whole World in School campaign, which is in turn a part of Global Campaign for Education.
After learning about Burkina Faso, 623 classes collected money for education in the country. Most pupils sold lottery tickets, but some came up with other fun types of fundraising, such as playing musical chairs in the senior citizens' club or selling poetry compilations. In total the children raised 957,245 Danish kroner (about € 128,500), which is the highest amount for many years.
"That's a lot of money! We've worked out that it costs 400 Danish kroner to send one child in Burkina Faso to school for one year, so close to one million can really do a lot," says fundraiser Bertil Suadicani from Oxfam IBIS.
The money helps send a lot of children to school, while teachers have their qualifications upgraded, parents get involved, and schools receive new materials. Thus, the Danish schoolchildren have helped their peers in Burkina Faso get a good education that is supported by their community.
On 4 May 2016, 800 Danish pupils showed up on Christiansborg Square in front of the Danish parliament for the Whole World in School Day of Action. The aim was to put pressure on Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, convincing him to work towards sending all the world's children to school.
For the fourth year, the Danish prime minister came out to take part in the Day of Action. Here he was able to see with his own eyes how committed Danish children are to the cause. And in his speech, he promised he would work for it too.
"Thanks to the massive support from Danish schoolchildren, we can now hold the prime minister to account for his promise," says campaign coordinator Heidi Brehm.

Glucagon is a hormone that raises a person's blood sugar (glucose). Like insulin, glucagon is produced in the pancreas. In a person without type 1 diabetes, the pancreas releases glucagon to ensure blood sugar does not drop too low.
When a person has type 1 diabetes, this doesn't happen. People with type 1 diabetes must check their blood sugar regularly, try to prevent low blood sugar, and treat it as soon as it happens with a source of fast-acting sugar (like juice, candy, or a soft drink).
If a person's blood sugar drops so low that they are unable to treat it themselves, they are having a severe low blood sugar (severe hypoglycemia). Other symptoms include:
Severe low blood sugar is an emergency. You must act immediately. Do not leave the student alone.
Carefully following a student's Individual Care Plan should help to prevent a severe low blood sugar from happening at school. But it's important to know what to do in case of emergency.
The student may take 5 to 20 minutes to wake up. Once the student is alert:
A severe low blood sugar or the use of glucagon may cause nausea or vomiting. The student may not be able to eat or drink afterward. If this happens:

The last Sunday ride before heading to France on Thursday, so it was time to do a full shakedown cruise on our Bike Friday travel bikes to make sure they were ready. Well, maybe not. The bikes being ready isn't much of an issue. What about us?
We chose the usual; the "coastal classic" up over Old LaHonda to Pescadero, north on Stage and back via Tunitas. A route we've done so often that it's a pretty good way to gauge how we're doing. We brought along Andrew from the shop as a "control" (he was riding a "regular" bike). The result? Looking at Haskins, which we were able to climb without any incidents, I'd say we're about 5-8% slower on a Bike Friday than our regular bikes. Not bad, and it's really only on the climbs; on flat & rolling terrain, they're about even, maybe even slightly better in the wind due to aerodynamics.
The reason Haskins was the only climbs we could really measure against was because Kevin decided to have not one, not two, but three seizures today… on Old LaHonda, Stage Road and Tunitas. Nothing major, the usual stuff where he gets plenty of warning so he pulls to a stop and lies down for a minute or two until it's gone. But kinda wrecks any ideas of getting good climbing times, y'know?

The SECRETS to realizing a continual flow of ABUNDANCE in your life!
Click link below to listen to the show…
ABUNDANCE…ABUNDANCE doesn't come cheap!
Yes…if you want to experience the continued flow of Abundance in your life, you must GIVE and RELEASE so that it can come back to you freely. So you give…so you receive – period. That's the game – that's the process – law of attraction. By realizing this TRUTH, you'll never go lacking in anyway.
I must also express to you that, do not misconstrue a transitional period in your life as a period of lack. The bottom-line is that you, as you were so geniously created, Spirit – having a human experience is ABUNDANCE alone. Therefore, you are in the space and time of REALIZING what you truly are, and embracing the experience of returning to that realization. Therefore, it's key for you to realize that your thoughts, visions, and words must align.
I invite you to check out this Blog so that you can have a few powerful affirmations to state everyday.
#1) "The spoken word of PROSPERITY increases my results by 80%."
#2) "Money come to me now! Thank You Divine Presence that My spoken word of prosperity continually increases my results of financial prosperity by 80%! It is So for me NOW!"
#3) "I realize and am wise to ALL opportunities that are for me to accept; therefore, I do NOT miss the OPPORTUNITIES that are for me, and so it is NOW! Whatever OPPORTUNITY that I may have allowed to pass me by, I declare that I will receive 110% fold of a blessing in return. Thank you for the OPPORTUNITY of discovery. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"
#4) "I AM MONEY! Therefore, I create MONEY in rich appropriate forms from multiple resources in my life daily! Every financial hindrance in my life is denounced from the root and no ADVERSITY has POWER over me, for I AM MONEY! I inhale financial PROSPERITY ABUNDANTLY NOW and I EXHALE AND DENOUNCE any LACK, for I AM A (insert the wealth u desire to experience here) totally fulfilled in MIND, BODY, SOUL, and SPIRIT! And SO IT IS NOW (AMEN)!"
#5) "I Persist regardless of appearances or conditions. The spoken word in my life is so powerful that it changes
conditions to conform to the words I've spoken. And so it is for me NOW!"

If you didn't know what was coming Thursday, you'd think the country was bracing for a natural disaster.
TV anchors are urging people to remain calm. Therapists are adding office hours to accommodate the panicky. Doctors are warning diabetics and heart patients about elevated health risks. Motorists are being advised to plan for hurricane-evacuation-level traffic jams. Pet owners have been put on alert.
The threat? Thanksgiving.
In 2017, with a nation divided over President Trump, groping, and, of course, gluten, the narrative around the holiday — #Stressgiving — has become so fear-based that Susan McConathy, a Jamaica Plain mother, says she has to remind herself that it's a "quote, holiday."
"There are so many rules," she said. "You have to modify your recipes to take out the sugar or salt or butter or you will kill someone. You can't talk about politics or religion or vegans or climate change or the whole family will be torn apart.
"The traffic is going to be so bad that you can't leave on Tuesday afternoon, or Wednesday evening, or Thursday between 11 and 1." She took a breath. "It's no wonder everyone is so stressed."
After building for decades, the Thanksgiving-hysteria machine has jumped the turkey. Emergency preparedness for the Thankspocalypse has become so intense that it lasts longer than the holiday itself, said Kyle Marie Carney, a therapist in private practice in Cambridge.
Carney, who is Skyping with out-of-town patients who need a holiday booster shot, says people start talking about Thanksgiving anxiety in October, and then spend post-turkey sessions discussing who said what to whom. "The debrief is a big part of the therapy," she said.
Morra Aarons-Mele, author of "Hiding in the Bathroom: An Introvert's Roadmap for Getting Out There," says the public conversation about stress used to center on whether the turkey was moist, a problem that could be solved by the Butterball hot line, not a shrink.
"Maybe it's the Oprah effect — it's good to air our dirty laundry," she said, adding that social media has turned Thanksgiving, once a private family day, into a performance.
"People are worried that their food won't measure up [on Instagram or Facebook], or their families won't, or they won't," she said.
In 2017, stress has become such a staple of the Thanksgiving menu that it's gotten competitive, said Beth Jones, a writer in Brookline. "There's one-upsmanship. It's like 'I have 92 people coming and you only have 36.' "
"It makes me sad," she added. "Thanksgiving should be left alone."
Fat chance. With anxiety disorders affecting 40 million adults 18 and older in the United States annually, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, the Angst-Industrial Complex is not about to miss a business opportunity.
A scroll through Twitter reads like a business school study of dread-based marketing. Fantasy football, cannabis, pet firms, a hypnosis studio, the self-care industry — all are using the holiday.
"Thanksgiving can be a stressful time for many people," tweeted @ExtractWellness, a hemp-extract products firm. "Hemp oil has been extraordinarily helpful for some people in dealing with that stress."
"Heading home for Thanksgiving?" tweeted @DraftKings. "Beware of #Thanxiety — the stress of spending the holiday with your family. Get distracted with @DraftKings."
@dogster weighed in with "5 Tips for Managing Anxiety at a Multi-Dog Thanksgiving."
"Does the simple idea of Thanksgiving stress you out?" asked @MindGourmet a self-help website. "Are you dreading all those uncomfortable conversations? May we help you out?"
With the clock ticking down to Thanksmageddon, Sarah Weiler, a research administrator at Harvard Medical School, took Tuesday and Wednesday off to prepare for a gathering of just seven people.
"I'm on defense," she said, as she enumerated stressors that include, but are not limited to: braving the grocery store and "hoping to score the last vegan pumpkin pie"; buying junk food like Doritos for visiting college students, "which I then eat"; and anticipating what flaws her 83-year-old mother will find with her home, and trying to remedy them.
Weiler bought room-darkening shades for the guest room, installed a towel bar in the guest bath, and Amazoned herself a soft foam pad for the guest bed. "But you can never get ahead of it," she said, wondering what else will be wrong.
"There's so much stress you can forget it's a holiday," she said. "And my family really likes each other."
If there's good news about the panic gripping the nation, it's that anticipatory anxiety does have one positive effect, said Carney, the Cambridge therapist. "Oftentime my patients tell me that Thanksgiving wasn't as bad as they expected."
Well, that's good, because for many people, Thanksgiving, which involves family and food, but not gifts, is a mere warm-up for the real stress test, which begins Friday: Merry Christmas.Beth Teitell can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Got lots of quilting done yesterday evening. Decided to try out the Clover 'Black Gold' quilting needles that I bought at the K&S. I used the No10 which is the size I had been using on my quilt ( a betweens). The tips of my fingers on my left hand can vouch for the fact that this is a very sharp needle! However, the body of the needle felt chunkier and not so easy to pull through the fabric. When I put the two needles side by side it is obvious that the black one is much thicker - also the eye is smaller and more difficult to thread.
The blurb on the packaging says that they will not bend easily which, being much thicker, is probably true. Also that they have 'enhanced rust resistance'. I shall persevere and we shall see.
After an evening and a half of use I am finding it easier to use but I am still to be convinced that they are worth the extra cost.

I'm so glad you posted this Lin, I read about them when I was browsing the books at the swanky quilt shop on Friday, and thought I might try some.
I think I'll stick to my usual ones.

Lin, I hope your fingers recover soon, that sounds uncomfortable!
Hand quilting is the one crafty thing that I am too scared to try learning...

I was recently sent this sandy glitter by Born Pretty store,
this particular colour is a mix of neon pink, orange and yellow circular tiny dots – Sandy Glitter Powder # 40133 Y515,
also available in five other different mixes:
but of course you could also mix them together to make your own bespoke mix. It was very easy to apply – for this look I applied Colour Alike 'Kind of Black' all over the nail, when that was completely dry I applied a coat of Gelish 'Top it off', cured and then took a fluffy brush, gently dipped it in the pot & dabbed the loose glitter around the cuticle into the tacky layer. When I was happy with the distribution, I then added a coat of no wipe top coat to seal the glitter in and add a shine.
Watch this space for further experiments using this range in the coming weeks.

Microsoft has announced Build 14383 for both PC and Mobile to Windows Insiders. This is Windows 10 Build for PC and Mobile in the Fast ring. As stated via official blog,

Enhancements for PC

Fixes for Mobile

"You will bid him drive out hither and be at the north-west side postern by midnight. Let nothing hold him back. Storm or fine, he must he here to-night. It is of the first importance."
"He shall have your order, sire."
"Very good. Adieu, captain. Adieu, monsieur. I trust that your stay in France may be a pleasant one." He waved his hand, smiling with the fascinating grace which had won so many hearts, and so dismissed the two friends to their new mission.
Madame de Montespan still kept to her rooms, uneasy in mind at the king's disappearance, but unwilling to show her anxiety to the court by appearing among them or by making any inquiry as to what had occurred. While she thus remained in ignorance of the sudden and complete collapse of her fortunes, she had one active and energetic agent who had lost no incident of what had occurred, and who watched her interests with as much zeal as if they were his own. And indeed they were his own; for her brother, Monsieur de Vivonne, had gained everything for which he yearned, money, lands, and preferment, through his sister's notoriety, and he well knew that the fall of her fortunes must be very rapidly followed by that of his own. By nature bold, unscrupulous, and resourceful, he was not a man to lose the game without playing it out to the very end with all the energy and cunning of which he was capable. Keenly alert to all that passed, he had, from the time that he first heard the rumour of the king's intention, haunted the antechamber and drawn his own conclusions from what he had seen. Nothing had escaped him—the disconsolate faces of monsieur and of the dauphin, the visit of Pere la Chaise and Bossuet to the lady's room, her return, the triumph which shone in her eyes as she came away from the interview. He had seen Bontems hurry off and summon the guardsman and his friend. He had heard them order their horses to be brought out in a couple of hours' time, and finally, from a spy whom he employed among the servants, he learned that an unwonted bustle was going forward in Madame de Maintenon's room, that Mademoiselle Nanon was half wild with excitement, and that two court milliners had been hastily summoned to madame's apartment. It was only, however, when he heard from the same servant that a chamber was to be prepared for the reception that night of the Archbishop of Paris that he understood how urgent was the danger.
Madame de Montespan had spent the evening stretched upon a sofa, in the worst possible humour with everyone around her. She had read, but had tossed aside the book. She had written, but had torn up the paper. A thousand fears and suspicions chased each other through her head. What had become of the king, then? He had seemed cold yesterday, and his eyes had been for ever sliding round to the clock. And to-day he had not come at all.

|Bombay Black Mercy
|Kivel Records
It's hard to find original records these days, but I think Bombay Black just about pull it off.
With the swagger of bands like Kingofthehill and early Extreme, mixed with glam-ish chorus hooks and a big hard rock sound, these guys clearly offer something no one else in the market place has right now.
A strong performance from the booming voice of Erik Johnson helps propel this record to greater things.
The band offers quite a variety of music within, from hard rock with a funky swagger to some downright glam-ish moments, such as on Hooks.
Bullet In My Head is a strong opener, but the glorious You For Me showcases the very best the band has to offer û hard rocking through the verse, with a monster chorus layered in harmonies.
Other highlights from within the album include I'll Get Through, which has touches of Motley Crue û that sleazy attitude and thumping bass matched with strong harmony vocals.
Everything doesn't appear to offer much during the verse, but big chorus from nowhere makes for another cool track.
Get Out is yet another highlight û it has a ton of attitude and some definite angst. Another reminder of the Motley Crue of old. The band slows it down for a ballad in Fade Away, which should be well received.
The last few tracks don't match the impact of the middle section and that doesn't match the first few tracks. I think the album opens with the strongest couple of tracks and from there heads downhill, but it still remains a strong and original enough album to warrant some positive attention.
Recommended for fans of old school good time melodic hard rock.
