The recent flaps over "gamers" and what "gaming culture" is are causing a massive stir in the Interwebs. What we're seeing more and more is people — some in the "gaming community" and some outside of it — asserting in various ways that "gaming culture" is either inherently misogynistic or sexist, or is being seen as that due to the actions of some of those inside of it, and that it has to change in response to that. Somehow. But the massively important question here is: what is gaming culture?
One of the most common examples of the problems with "gaming culture" is listing off the in-game chat of some games, and pointing out that when a woman is playing she gets sexual comments and rape threats. And I don't deny that this happens, and happens far more frequently than it probably should. However, there are two problems with this. The first is that this will vary from game to game, and from genre to genre. Most of the examples are from FPSs, but other genres may work differently. For example, MMOs, being less competitive and relying more on group cohesion, probably won't have as much of that inside a group (although you may see it outside of groups). And even then it will be the case that different games have different overall cultures. I played City of Heroes off and on for a number of years, and that was a game where the character customization was such that I — and many others — had a number of female character concepts that were interesting or more interesting than the male ones. So I played a lot as a female avatar, and didn't talk about my gender, and had one incident that might have been bad … and even that one was debatable. Even the general chat was generally good and reasonably polite. I've also heard that Lord of the Rings Online, at least at first, had a reasonable and respectful user base. The Old Republic is worse, and I haven't played a lot as a female character to say how that is, but for the most part even TOR is more immature than out-and-out sexist. So the experience — and the culture — will vary a lot according to what game you're playing. The second issue is that the experience will change according to who you play with. If you just join pick-up games, you're likely to run into a lot of immature people, and the experience will be worse. If you play with a group of regulars, you will indeed be able to find a group where that sort of thing doesn't happen. If you play in an MMO in a guild based on the people at Twenty-Sided Tale, you'll probably have a great, sexism free experience. One of my best guilds in CoH was formed from a group of posters on Gamefaqs, called the Grammar Patrol. You know what you're getting with that one [grin]. So this will also depend greatly on who you play with.
So, quick question: which of these is really gaming culture? Are the good ones to be dismissed because you can easily find the bad ones, as they are indeed the ones who are limited to pick-up games and groups because they can't find people who will play with them consistently? Who is to say that they reflect what gaming culture really is as opposed to the vast number of people who not only don't do those things, but actively work to keep them out of the games they play?
This carries over to the whole debate over female protagonists and the representation of women in games. There are indeed a number of people railing nastily against those advocating for it. Are these the people who reflect the views of gamers, who form "gaming culture"? There are a number of sources inside gaming, from independents to gaming sites, who advocate for better representations of women in games. There are a number of sources in gaming that find the treatment of those women to be unacceptable, even if they don't agree with what they say — and they say that, loudly. Once we get past the most obvious forms of harassment — which are disturbingly common in most online forums (there's a reason that I ban swearing on this blog) — the attitudes towards the representation of women among gamers is quite diverse. Some think that it is bad and needs to be improved. Some don't think it needs to be improved. Some think that we need more female protagonists. Some don't care either way and just want to play good games. And some are worried that "gaming culture" is being co-opted by a group of people who were not here when gaming was building itself into something cool and interesting, jumped on the bandwagon now that it has arrived, and now want to change it to make gaming like they want it to be ignoring what the people who built and supported it liked about it; in short, even by just advocating to change things to appeal to new markets turning gaming into homogenized, mainstream dreck and leaving them without the hobby that they've supported and enjoyed for so long.
And that last one is at least one reason why, I think, this is such a big deal to gamers. For the longest time, they were considered to have a certain culture … essentially, that of perpetual, immature loners who lived in their parents' basements and didn't do anything except play these childish games and so avoided doing anything that was really fun or really had merit. Now, as with all geek culture, suddenly their hobby is en vogue, and the mainstream people that once mocked it are now jumping on the bandwagon and having fun. Except that they then decide that the things that drew the gamers to it aren't what appeal to them — for various reasons — and now want to change it, and when gamers react to having people say that what they liked about the game shouldn't be there their "culture" is again being called out as being immature, sexist, and so on and so forth. No wonder they are both angry at and suspicious of the motives of the people pushing so hard for change, and doing so by misrepresenting who they inherently are.
Because gamers are a massively diverse group. The only thing that gamers have in common is that they play games as a hobby. They don't all play the same games, even, let alone hold the same political or social views. They don't all react to criticism the same way. They don't all find the currently more male-dominated style of at least some genres of games appealing. They don't all think that rape threats are a good way to criticize people you agree with. Some agree with the "SJWs", some don't, some disagree "violently". To claim that "gaming culture" has a sexism problem and needs to fix it is to define what gaming culture by those that gaming culture may in fact be mostly rejecting, and is essentially outsiders telling gamers what their culture really is, regardless of how they feel about the subject. Which is what the mainstream has been doing for a long, long time now, so forgive gamers if they aren't likely to take that well.

Hallo, alles! So… today, I thought that I'd do a post on my favorite covers of songs from musicals! I'll admit that I spend a lot more time on YouTube than I probably should. And a majority of that time, I'm looking at theatre-related videos. Through those times of just looking through things, I've come across some really awesome YouTubers and singers who have created absolutely beautiful covers of musicals. So, today, I thought that I'd do a spotlight on them and some of my favorite works of theirs! I'm gonna be separating these out by the singers / musicians who did these covers! Los geht's!
Think acapella is lame? Well… think again! Peter Hollens creates awesome, awesome acapella covers of all sorts of songs and he's done his fair share of musical covers as well! He's one of my favorite singers over on YouTube. His videos are always really high-quality and it's obvious that he puts a lot of work and effort into his work! You should definitely check him out! https://www.youtube.com/user/peterhollens
· THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA MEDLEY w/ Evynne Hollens – Peter did this cover with his wife, Evynne. This was actually the first of his videos that I'd ever seen and ever since I saw it, I've been hooked! It's an awesome, awesome cover. I actually think it would be super cool to see a completely acapella production of PHANTOM! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A0CU8jgJzs
· LES MISÉRABLES MEDLEY w/ Evynne Hollens – Yet another acapella medley done with his wife and this one is just as awesome or even more so than the PHANTOM one! Definitely check it out! It's an absolutely beautiful medley and all of the songs are done super well! With songs like "On My Own", "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables", and "Bring Him Home", this medley is one of the best things that I have ever seen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yVDaxhNT-Y
· WICKED MEDLEY w/ Nick Pitera – So… this medley is absolutely amazing! Again, more acapella and man… it's fun! Nick Pitera's vocal range is absolutely phenomenal! In Peter's version of the video, you get more complete footage of him singing "Defying Gravity" and man, it's awesome! Definitely check it out, especially if you're a fan of WICKED! And even if you're not, or maybe you've never gotten to give WICKED a chance, check it out! You might just fall in love with it through this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MenBz8-dwpA
· THE LAST FIVE YEARS MEDLEY w/ Evynne Hollens – You can only imagine how excited I was when I saw this video in my subscription box a few years ago. One of my favorite things about this medley is that although this musical is a total heartbreaker, this medley manages to leave off on a note that makes you smile. I also just love seeing how much fun Peter and Evynne clearly had while making this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ITPyVPM_P4
· THE SOUND OF MUSIC MEDLEY w/ The Shaytards – When I saw this one in my subscription box last year, I was so, so excited! THE SOUND OF MUSIC is one of my longtime favorites and I'd been really hoping that Peter would do an acapella video for THE SOUND OF MUSIC for the longest time and I was so happy when I saw it! It's so much fun! The Shaytards family was just amazing in this video and I'd definitely recommend checking it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiHc0a0OrLc
· I SEE THE LIGHT from TANGLED w/ Evynne Hollens – TANGLED is one of my absolute favorite Disney movies so I was pretty psyched when I saw this video! The acapella is absolutely amazing in this (like always) and man… it's one of my absolute favorites! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6lNE1bAcC8
· DISNEY MEDLEY w/ Alex G. – You have no idea how excited I was when I saw this video for the first time! It's absolutely phenomenal! Peter's got some of my favorite songs on this video and it's just a lot of fun! Also, Disney and acapella? Yes, please! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfvehnyCQKU
· FROZEN MEDLEY w/ Colleen Ballinger – So, this video is a lot of fun and it's super cute! I loved, loved, loved this medley!

· GO THE DISTANCE from HERCULES – It's no secret that I love Disney's HERCULES. So… when I first discovered this video, I was jumping around because I was just that excited. Man… this video is awesome. Acapella really, really works with this song and man… if you've never seen this video, definitely, definitely check it out! I actually think that I like this version better than the version in the movie! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fauUeakH7zk
Nick Pitera has one of the most amazing vocal ranges that I've ever heard in my life. It's pretty impressive what he can do! He does a lot of musical covers and also does a lot of collaborations with Disney! Nick does some acapella stuff and does some traditional instrumental stuff! Definitely check him out! https://www.youtube.com/user/goonieman86
· WICKED MEDLEY w/ Peter Hollens – So, I mentioned this one on the section of Peter Hollen's videos, but this one's got some differences and a little more of Nick in it! Definitely check this one out if you liked Peter's version! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3a-Jf4jogw
· ONE-MAN ALADDIN MEDLEY – This one is one of my favorite covers Nick's done! I love ALADDIN and in this video, Nick covered a lot of my favorite songs from ALADDIN! Definitely worth checking out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzcuyn2kTFs

It's one of the best videos I've ever seen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9IWAxSpgKA
· ONE-MAN THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA MEDLEY – So… Christine Daaé has a range that even I, as a mezzo-soprano have difficulties reaching the high end of. But Nick? Nick does an amazing job with this. If you guys like PHANTOM, definitely check this one out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vRHgxviZJk
· ONE-MAN INTO THE WOODS MEDLEY – I don't talk about how much I love INTO THE WOODS enough on this blog. But guys, here's my opportunity! It wasn't until I saw this video that I realized how perfect Nick Pitera would be for this musical. He sings all of these songs so well! Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AVzAA58vlY
· ONE-MAN NEWSIES MEDLEY – This video was actually the way I discovered a lot of the NEWSIES songs! If you like NEWSIES or even if you're just interested in the show, definitely, definitely check out this video! It's amazing and it's a lot of fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wki1sLAWLI
Lindsey Stirling is a violinist who does super awesome covers and original music. A friend of mine is super obsessed with Lindsey's work so I have to thank him for introducing me to her music! Her channel's absolutely amazing and I 100% recommend checking her out! www.youtube.come/user/lindseystomp

Evynne Hollens does covers on YouTube of all sorts of songs and has done a lot of musical theatre and Disney covers! Funnily enough, all of the ones on my list here today are Disney.

Definitely check out her work! https://www.youtube.com/user/EvynneHollensMusic

Grammy Awards 2018: Ed Sheeran reacts to snub, says 'it's not my year'
Ed Sheeran may have received only two Grammy nods, both for pop categories, but the singer said he is not disappointed. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the singer, who has previously won a Grammy for his song 'Thinking Out Loud', said, "Maybe this year isn't my year."
"My outlook on it is some years you have your year and some years you don't have your year," he added.
When DeGeneres said that one of the album's hits, 'Shape Of You', did not leave her head, Sheeran replied saying for him the biggest award is that people are still enjoying his songs.
"That's where you win. That's where the validation comes from. You actually see people enjoying the songs. I'd rather have a lifetime of people coming up to me and saying, 'This song is my wedding song,' or 'this song was my first kiss'," he said.
In 2016, Ed Sheeran won two Grammy awards and was nominated for the Album, Record and Song of the Year. This year, Sheeran only managed to swing nominations for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance. This year, rappers Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar lead the nominations with eight and seven nods respectively. Bruno Mars comes in third with six nominations.
Sheeran released the second highest selling album of 2017, but wasn't nominated across categories or for any of the top prizes at the upcoming Grammy Awards. Others artists like John Mayer. Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Harry Styles have also not been nominated despite huge chart success.

Hosea 10:12
Sow for yourselves righteousness,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes
and showers righteousness on you.
We reap what we sow is an often repeated saying which has roots in passages such as Hosea 10. If we do good deeds, we'll receive good things in return. We will get what we deserve, both good and bad.
It depends on one's perspective whether the process of reaping and sowing is really true. Without a doubt there are bad people who seem to prosper and good people who suffer.
On a spiritual level, we will reap eternal benefits or suffer punishment based on what we have sown. Those who ignore the Lord now will be ignored when they cry out to Him on Judgment Day. This much is guaranteed.
As for what we receive on earth, reaping what we sow should be considered a proverb. It is good advice and generally true but not a promise of things to come. God does bless and curse people here on earth but not always. Why some people do not receive blessings and curses on earth is unanswerable as we do not know the mind of God.
There is a human element though as well. It is the Golden Rule in effect. If we treat people nicely, they are more likely to treat us nicely back. If we treat people poorly, we're likely to be treated poorly in return.

To the editor:
Please allow me to address a serious misstatement in Mark Schenck's March 2 column.
Democrats did not say that Obamacare would insure "…30 million Americans that had no health insurance…" Democrats attempted to implement a self-supporting Affordable Care Act that would apply to all low-wage working Americans who cannot afford for-profit health insurance. The new word "Obamacare" did not exist until powerful insurance industry lobbyists successfully removed the "affordable" aspect by turning Democrats' original proposal into another for-profit marketplace. Uncompromised, the act President Obama proposed would affect only the working poor; those able to pay for their for-profit policies could keep them.
The immensely profitable health insurance industry successfully portrayed Obama's public option proposal as a European styled single-payer plan. The public option, based on the same principle as Social Security, would be federally regulated, but not federally funded. Low-wage workers would pay their premiums through payroll deduction, but based on their ability to pay, rather than insurance industry profitability. Under the Obamacare marketplace, the health insurance industry not only profits from America's poorest workers, they justify raising the rates of already insured Americans to make up the loss of profit on insuring the working poor at lower rates.
Obamacare is far removed from the original Affordable Care Act proposal, and President Obama's name was not associated with it until it was contaminated and polluted with health insurance marketplace profitability. True affordable health insurance would benefit the working poor, and would not affect any who can afford for-profit coverage. Insurance industry lobbying now allows profit on health insurance for our nation's poorest workers, and deceptive justification for raising the rates of workers making adequate wages or salaries.
Personally, I would like to see Obamacare replaced – with the original Affordable Care Act proposal, which would have benefited the working poor, and affected no one else.

ATLANTA (Nov. 2, 2010) – Triumph today held the global unveiling of its eagerly awaited Tiger 800 and Tiger 800XC adventure touring models at the internationally renowned EICMA show in Milan, Italy.
The unveilings follow the global introductions of the new Thunderbird Storm, America and Speedmaster at last month's Intermot show in Cologne, Germany.
Triumph's 2011 model range represents the largest new product offering in the company's 109-year history.
"Entering the adventure touring segment is big news for everyone at Triumph, and we know from customer comments that they're just as excited," said Satu Mehta, Vice President of Sales for Triumph North America. "Triumph's new adventure motorcycles give us a strong offering in every motorcycle category and a great platform to build on in the coming years."
The all-new Tiger 800s represent Triumph's first entry into the mid-capacity adventure touring sector. Powered by a 94hp long-stroke 799cc three-cylinder engine, the two models share the same tough steel frame but have their own distinct personalities.
Designed for the city and open road, the Tiger 800 offers outstanding accessibility and maneuverability with cast alloy wheels and, thanks to the adjustable seat that's on both models, a seat height as low as 31.9 inches to make it an adventure bike for the masses.
The taller Tiger 800XC, meanwhile, delivers true off-road capability thanks to its longer-travel suspension and 21" spoke front wheel. With its higher riding position, the Tiger 800XC provides a commanding view of the road ahead and absorbs even the worst road conditions.
Both models come with a wide range of official accessories that are specially designed to help owners get the most out of their machines. High quality soft and hard luggage options as well as optional gel seats with varying heights make these new Triumphs exceptionally capable and inviting touring machines.
A range of off-road protection parts also has been developed for riders who plan to go off the beaten path, while the class-leading 645w alternator ensures that the Tiger 800s will have no problem running the auxiliary lights and heated handlebar grips that are available as official accessories.

Sickly Check-in
If I hadn't have gotten sick this week, I would've finished a short story. As it was, I only got halfway through (1.5K words or so). Work was a zoo, and it's only going to get worse. Things were little more sane on the homefront once the thesis was handed in. And another good week of blogging despite everything. Now we've entered July and I can't help thinking what's going to be going on at the end of this month. Hopefully Mark will have had some interviews if not some offers by then.

Swiss Younkers in Northern Illinois

I have very limited information about the Younker's in my database. As these are not direct ancestors, I have not gone in great depth. Hopefully these connect with your family. Jacob Younker, born 28 Aug 1836 in Switzerland married Mary Ann (Schreffler) Moyer from PA about 1866-7 in Will County, IL. He died Joliet, Will, IL 9 May 1905. They had Edward, Frank, Elijah, and Cornelius. They moved to IA about1875 (Cornelius was born there). She died Sumner, Bremer, IA.

by Kirk Dooley
Of all the flashy stars from both teams in Saturday's state semifinal shootout between Highland Park and Denton Ryan, the MVP could very well wind up being Matteo Cordray.
Cordray, a junior kicker at HP, stepped in when talented starting kicker Jackson Hubbard suffered an injury. Like Dak Prescott, Cordray has done quite well and hasn't given the starting job back.
This state semifinal game pits two offenses that can light up a scoreboard against two defenses that have sucked all the oxygen out of North Texas. Usually we're trying to predict which team will slow down the other team's offense. This game could beg the question, "Which defense will shut down the other team's offense?" While it's hard to believe that Saturday's offensive fireworks could be suffocated, the reality is that this game could go 10-7 either way. In that case, my money is on Cordray.
He was a middle school soccer standout when PE coach Ryan Gibbs pulled him aside and asked if he had ever thought about kicking a football.
"No, sir. I never thought about it."
Gibbs, the Scots' running backs coach, has a nose for talent and he helped Cordray develop into a solid and dependable football kicker. If a field goal beats Denton Ryan Saturday, the assist goes to Gibbs.
While Denton Ryan will be the best team the Scots have faced in several years, HP has a great advantage in playing Frisco Independence, Mansfield Lake Ridge and Mansfield Legacy in the playoffs leading up to this game. Those three playoff wins featured a Highland Park defense that shut down three of the best offenses in North Texas. The fact that the Scots neutralized Legacy's Kendall Catalon last week means that HP has the ability to neutralize Ryan's QB Spencer Sanders (which, by the way, nobody has come close this season).
Ryan is averaging 40.4 points per game. HP is averaging 38.6. Ryan is giving up 16.1 points per game. HP is giving up 13.5. Ryan is coached by a former Highland Park assistant. He knows what makes the Scots special. Can he outfox his former mentor? Although he has the D-1 talent to beat some colleges right now, I think he will face the best prepared team he's seen in his three years in Denton.
On paper nobody can beat Denton Ryan. They are said to have the best 5A defense in North Texas but I think the Scots' defense will be better on Saturday. Spencer, one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation, could get rattled if his offense gets throttled early. His team is not used to being behind.
This game should be a defensive death match. When was the last time the Scots won a game like that?
Well, last week.
I know it's not this simple, but let me repeat my theory: If you can corral Kendall Catalon, you can corral Spencer Sanders. And if that happens, the Scots will be playing next Saturday for the state championship.
Highland Park will face Denton Ryan at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 10 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
For those of you who want to listen to the awesome Russell Scott, Jim Castellaw and Jae Ellis on the radio here is the info you will need…
Our radio broadcast of the Highland Park vs. Denton Ryan State Semifinal Playoff Game on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 10th will be carried on 103.3 ESPN (KESN) throughout the Dallas area. Pre-Game starts at 12:30 PM with kickoff slated for 1:30 PM. Fans listening at home (or anyplace other than the stadium) can hear the game by any of the following methods:
1. With a radio tuned to 103.3 FM
2. On a mobile phone or computer by going to www.kesn1033.com … then clicking the "Play" (right) arrow to "Listen Live".
3. By going to www.kesn1033.com … then downloading the free app via the link on the homepage.
For those fans who are attending the game at AT&T Stadium:
1. Tune your transistor radio to 103.3 FM ESPN. You should be able to get reception on the FM station inside the stadium. If you are having trouble getting steady, clear reception, try moving to another seating location. The signal tested "good" in most locations on the Highland Park side of the stadium.
2. If you are inside the stadium, do NOT try to listen on your phone or computer. Your phone or computer will delay the transmission by 7-10 seconds and therefore what you are hearing will not "match-up" with what you are seeing. This delay does not occur when listening on a transistor radio.

If I get an associate's in nursing, I can become an RN. It will not increase my pay, but it will mean more jobs I would be qualified for. This is not something I ever wanted to do, but I really like getting paychecks.
I have decided that my apparent accelerated aging is from Teagan's absence and not from the lack of Clinique product. I cannot find happiness or stress to be a factor. I was stressed beyond imagination in Milwaukee and have generally been very happy here, but there must be something about being a mother that makes your skin look younger, and makes you willing to do shit you would never do if you were only looking out for yourself. I really want to stay in northern California. I am tired of waiting and waiting and waiting to get rehired with Mountain Heritage. Until I am actually doing something and getting paychecks, it doesn't count in my book, or to my creditor's. Yeah my boss rehired me, but the paperwork hasn't gone through. Try that.
I am tired of feeling like a worthless fuck up and like anything I have to offer is not needed and not worthwhile. I want, I need, I deserve economic independence, as do we all. I can't change the system. I have fought my entire life for things to work the right way, and still they continue to drag on, and in many cases have even spiraled further out of control. Just look at the food industry or healthcare. Becoming an RN would mean that I would be joining the enemy, western medicine. I would be participating in a system that I think has miserably failed, but I would be able to stay in the area. I would be able to have a permanent job. I would be able to have a family. I might even be able to make a dent in my debt by having a permanent job.
I love the adventure of archaeology, but without my debts being paid off, and without a permanent home base to operate from, moving every few months, living out of my car, not knowing whether or not I will have a job tomorrow is making me absolutely bonkers.
My only other option would appear to be the military, and as far as the work goes, would probably more fulfilling, and would definitely help my prospects with the Forest Service when I got done.
I am just not designed to operate in this system. I have tried changing the system. I've seen small changes in people greening themselves, food co-ops and rideshares popping up, but it really feels like it's too little, too late. I have failed, once again. I thought last year I had escaped the slavery and was doing exactly what I wanted to do and was exactly where I wanted to be. Going to Kentucky was possibly the stupidest decision I have ever made. I thought working was better than unemployment. I thought being closer to family and to the man I love would be a good thing. Now I am isolated in the mountains and have not worked in nearly a month. Now I cannot get unemployment because I resigned. Yes, the air is cleaner here, the water is pure here, the food is more wholesome, but my heart aches and I am wounded. The time of suffering must stop! Enough is enough! I have paid my dues. Why is happiness fleeting while suffering endures?
Universe, I have begged for another way and no path has been illuminated. Time is quickly running out. Soon I will have no choice left but to sell myself back into the brainwashing slavery machine.
Every idea I've come up with this week has come to a dead end. Perhaps my time to go is approaching. Even Spirit binds me. "Wait," is whispers, "wait." So I continue to wait and wait and wait as spring becomes summer. Soon we will be back to cold and darkness. When will I have what is my right? When will people be able to eat food and drink water and breathe air that is more good than bad? What have I done so wrong?

Hello Friends,
I decided to start this blog as a form of archive for some of my thoughts and as a medium of sharing life lessons and new opportunities.
By the time I looked at the volume of new things I have learnt in the last four months of my life, I considered starting this blog a worthy investment. I believe this platform will be a repository of opportunities as well and maybe some of those opportunities might be what you have been waiting for, for your next career break.
Another reason for this blog is to see if I can influence a few to make some right decisions that might get them on the path of progress. I could have used my social media platforms, but I have realised that most times it's difficult to trace some very useful posts on these platforms, I guess that's why facebook considered showing us past memories.
This blog will be a repository that you can always return to for useful information that will certainly move you forward. Looking forward to impacting you positively.

Nothing starts your day LIKE looking at your Blackberry and seeing a staff meeting in 40 minutes. This staff meeting consisted of the announcement that Flash Entertainment purchased a minority stake in the the company I work for.
Add in the lingering effects of not really sleeping for a couple of days and you get the sleepwalking/ no thinking feeling. Fortunately this wore off around mid-day with the hopes that I would leave work early (I didn't).
Top off the day with the news that the football coach you spent the last 14 months defending/warming up to ditched out to go coach at USC. That's called being 'Kiffen-d'
All in all an eventful day.

Cristian BODNĂRESCU
Who could have thought that a famous rock band is still unknown for romanian public? If you wanna listen to quality music corellated with social attitude, fight against evil and spiritual themes, you will want to follow these guys from "The Muggs" how they are gibing the hypocrisy and ignorance in premiere at Wall Radio (Radio Zidul, at Word of Bodnarescu's Radio Show). *The blues-hard-punk rock band The Muggs from Detroit which played out in front of hundred millions of people at "Next Great American Band" TV Show of FOX TV will be presented to romanian public by Tony Muggs and Cristian Bodnarescu on Wednesday of 13 November beginning at 1 o'clock PM (Detroit's Hour) on Wall Radio – www.radiozidul.ro
The Muggs played with: Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Savoy Brown and Teen Years After.
*Q1 (Cristian Bodnarescu): *What is the meaning of life as you see it?
Tony (Muggs)*: Hi guys! I see life as pretty surreal these days. I've
survived a plane crush when I was three and a half (I was in the backyard
when a bi plane crashed into my garage), a stroke when I was 28 and nothing seems to keep me down. I believe in life after death, but I don't believe in heaven or hell. I believe that, just as in life, where you make your own decisions like going to the grocery store or going to see your favorite
rock band, The Muggs, likewise, when you are dead, you can go wherever you want as well. So, I plan on visiting Jupiter. That's my favorite planet, so
I think I'll go there first. However, I don't see life & death as most people do. The best thing I ever heard is a phrase in science about energy: energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is transferred. And that really speaks to me. So I don't think when we're dead, our energy is dead so where we go from there once we are transferred (dead), is our choice. I'm forty years old and enjoying every minute of it. While on tour in Europe in 2012, our Spanish tour manager, Juan Pablo, said: "Life is ONCE" and I have no
regrets, I'm a Mugg.
*Q2 – Cristian Bodnarescu: How do you see the spirituality?
Tony Muggs: Hi guys! I guess my vision about spirituality is that I'm not a
religious guy but I do believe in a higher being or power. I love Space and
Time and the Universe, so to me it's more of a scientific approach towards
spirituality than one of religion.
*Q3 – Cristian Bodnarescu: What represents The Muggs for you?
Tony Muggs: The Muggs is the best blues- rock band in Detroit. We were just awarded outstanding rock band for 2013. But much deeper than winning awards, The Muggs is my heart and soul. The Muggs represents everything that is good about music. I've long thought that The Muggs are trying to compete with the best musicians of all times: the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Queen, Humble Pie, the Who, Rolling Stones, and so on. Because in my view those are the best bands of all time. Contemporary bands don't really do it for me these days; I can't tell you why. The music isn't as potent as the music from the '60 and '70. So, The Muggs kind of represent the music from the late 60's and early 70's. We do the heavy riffs but we also couple that with smart arrangements and a good melody, interesting lyrics … so you know … in a nutshell that's what The Muggs represent to me.
*Q4 – Cristian Bodnarescu: How do you see the band over 20 years? What about yourself?
Tony Muggs: Well, The Muggs haven't been around for 20 years. We've been around for a total of 13 years, off and on. We started out in the year
2000, as three piece, with me playing bass-guitar, Danny doing his guitar
and lead vocals, and Matt Rost on drums. We had great success around
Detroit, we were a new band and so we had a buzz about us as a new band.
Detroit in general had a great rock n' roll scene at that time. The White
Stripes were ready to burst into the world scene. So things were going
well. Then I had a stroke, at the age of 28 and I never thought I will play
again, especially with The Muggs. But instead of The Muggs continuing,
Danny Methric, who is one of my best friends for the last 27 years, decided
that there would be no Muggs without me. So Danny set aside The Muggs for a while and I was recuperating from my stroke … so as it goes, I had my
stroke in September 2001, and it took me almost exactly two years to get
back on stage. So, from then on it's been a fairy tale for me. We have four
full-length studio albums: *The Muggs, On with the Show, Born Ugly* and out latest called *Full Tilt*. It's just kind of the best of the three previous
studios albums and we popped in some songs that Danny loves, like Rory
Gallagher's "Mississippi Sheiks" "Used To Be" & "I Take What I Want". We
are also big fans of The Beatles and John Lennon, so there's a John Lennon song "How Do You Sleep" and then we arranged it in such a way as to incorporate the song, "HELP" by The Beatles into one of our songs. So, over the past 20 years it has been a slow burn, meaning we've become more popular and more popular and we've stuck to our plan; we have a great online presence as well … So right now, as I'm recording this is May 1st 2013, we are more popular now, as The Muggs, than we ever have
been. It just seems to be getting bigger and bigger and hopefully the dam is going to break sooner or later with The Muggs . Then we'll be a national band in the United States and we'll be able to go further east into Europe and to play cities like Budapest and cities that we'd love to play!
*Q5 – Cristian Bodnarescu: How is it to be in a hard rock band in the 21st century?
Tony Muggs: It's a little tough I have to say. Myself and other people have
always said that if The Muggs came out in 1980 we would be huge and we'd probably be millionaires, and I can't dispute that. Everything is cyclical
and the music industry doesn't want anything to do with rock n' roll as
popular music these days. In the US you have your country and you have your R&B, which isn't even R&B in the classical rhythm and blues sense. It's just … you know: Justin Timberlake, Beyonce… that's considered the R&B by today's standards. So it's pretty surreal and so far The Muggs are not where we intended to be by now. We've been a band for over ten years, we have 4 albums and we're doing great, don't get me wrong. We're finally touring Europe consistently. Three out of the last 4 years we've been
touring Spain and parts of Europe and we were building a bigger fan base.
But, I guess, you always want more, and at this point my life I would've
expected to be bigger; and not necessarily with money, I've never wanted to be a multimillionaire, I'll settle for 50 000 $ a year … If each of us, each member of our band would earn 50 000 $ per year, that's probably more
than half of what we all make in one calendar year as it is. And that's
nothing by rock n' roll standards. I mean Kid Rock, Jack White, M&M,
they're all millionaires. I don't need much to survive, but 50 grand a
year would be more than double my income and I would spend it wisely, so ….
But I am optimistic; I've been talking to a lot of people in the industry, music industry, and everyone I talked to said that the music industry is
trending towards blues rock. Which means our day in the sun might not be
far off. It would be great after all of our hard work to catch a break and
be more popular at a national level, in America, and all over the world.
*Q6 – Cristian Bodnarescu: What's your advice for kids who want to have a rock band?
Tony Muggs: Kids, if you want to have a rock band, especially in 2013, you have to know 2 things:
First thing: practice your ass off! You have to want it more than anyone
else in your city, and if you practice hard and every day, in 2 years you
can be the next Jimmy Hendrix.
The other thing is: nothing comes easy. So, work as hard as you can to
promote yourself on the internet, because as a new band that's the only
place where you're going to exist outside your neighborhood. So, get
involved in any website you can, make it your passion and make it so that
you can work every day on the computer to get your band's name out there
and then you're on the right track.
*Q7 – Cristian Bodnarescu: And one for your ladies fans: What is your favourite sexual position?
Tony Muggs : Ladies, right now, my favourite sexual position is when you are on top.

Can anyone explain about Elizabethan love lyrics?
- print Print
- list Cite
Elizabethan love lyrics had rather a loose meaning in the time of poets such as John Donne. We are more familiar, for example , with the term 'sonnet' - yet in Donne's time the term referred more to the subject (lyrical expressions of love and passion) than our usual idea of style. In Donne's Songs and Sonnets,for example, the poets concerns are with the pursuits of chasing beautiful women, wooing sweethearts with clever words and arguments as well as the deeper ideas of commitment and heartache. Sometimes the lyrics are mocking, sometimes they are very intense and honest. Understandably, John Donne wrote most of these in the first flush of his youth and before he married his wife Anne More. The later 'love lyrics' were more grounded and serious.
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for...do you need characteristics of said lyrics? If so, I can get you started. Many Elizabethan love poems, particularly sonnets, make heavy use of metaphor to describe the object of affection. For example, a loved one being pursued might be likened to a game animal like a deer. A loved one's individual features might be compared to other things. A woman's skin would often be compared to things that were light in color, like milk or snow. The idea of immortality was also present in many love poems. That is, the idea that the object of the writer's affection would live forever or gain fame through the writer's words.
