My Chemical Romance – Na Na Na
Interview with Defiant
DEFIANT was originally formed 2005 in Pozega, Croatia, by Beretz(guitars,vox) & Kris(guitars). With much musical experience from the past they began writing material with lots of melodies, harmonies and dark lyrics. The main idea from the beginning was to play melodic death metal with Swedish influences. When Bole(bass) and File(drums)joined the band, line-up was finished. Defiant have developed their own and more commercial form of Death metal with groovy rhythms, melodic riffs, well played guitar solos and an aggressive vocal in focus. After lot of concerts and festivals, played with high-energy performance, the band made their debut album"The End of Beginning"in the autumn 2006
1. Would you like to tell us about croatian death metal / underground music scene ?
There is a scene with too many bands,but only 5-6 bands are make the scene,because there is no interest in metal like in other european countries…
2. 2006 to 2010, why it takes a long time to build a new album ?
Well,we have a Promo in 2008,so it's not a very long time to keep busy our fans to wait our second album in 2010.And there was some changes in the band,because we need very good drummer on this new album so we cancel many gigs this year
so we can go in Studio to record some new songs in a way that should be….metal.
3. Working on a new recording, could you tell us just little bit about new material ?
There will be some real old school melodies with some new sound of death metal.
4.Defiant call their self, "Croatian metal with swedish style", tell us your favourite
Of course,But some old stuff like,At The Gates,In Flames,Dismember,Dark Tranquillity….
5. For selling point, and popularity or some other reason, some of musician or band covering the other band song. What do you think about that ?
Well,they cover for some own reason,if they think that 's OK i don't have to say anything:D
6. If you could tour with one band, past or present, who would it be and why?
I think that could be Metallica or Slayer,because they are the names for themselves today…
7. City to city or world tour. Which one from your live performance you experienced that means much to the band.
World tour is the best,but it's great to travel city to city of course…:D
8. Any pre-show rituals?
Drink some beers…a lot of beers…and smoke some weed…
9. What's your opinion abut the music charts now, with the amount of manufactured boy/girl bands that seem to dominate it?
i don't track this shit …
10. From the beginning until now, what made Defiant still focus on this genre. How does the music make you feel when you're producing, performing, or listening to it?
It was hard work but we still could produce a nice death metal sound with a nice melodies…we give a high hope to this feelings:D
11.Your message to the metal fans ?
Keep it metal,it's all you've got at the end….
Interview with Mouse Trap – (USA)
This band originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. They play hardcore/metalcore/screamo. They are young and talented. And this is the Interview with the band.
1. Hello to mousetrap Please tell us your biography. Because there is just a limited info about your band.
Well, were called Mouse Trap! because of the infamous board game that we all played when we were younger. We started out as an alt rock band that sounded like Puddle of Mudd mixed with System Of a Down. then i went to a Silverstein show. "A Day to Remember" and "The Devil Wears Prada" opened for them and i was stunned. i knew i had to play hardcore after that. weve gone through many names. 6 including mouse trap!.
weve been:
a moments notice
there's a way
for the forgotten
to the forgotten
and finally… mouse trap!
but other than that, were just a couple of suburban kids that love creating heavy music.
2. What happen to your guitarist ? and what's the effects to the band ?
were starting fresh with a newer, permanent lineup. im not giving away any details but lets just say its going to be intense well we try to keep a steady 3 day band practice week. with his baseball and other stuff, he couldnt find time. he's leaving on good terms and he remains very close. The effects? well it gave me the idea to just do vocals and to find new musicians
3. How do you write your music ?
Thats a hard question hahaha. i guess i just turn on the amp and play until i find something i like. then i try to make a good song out of it
4. Your Lyrics. What is all about ?
This is going to sound so cliche… mainly women. you don't even know how those preppy chicks make you think they like you and then drop the bomb hahah. i guess i have to thank them for the writing inspiration. sometimes though i do write happy lyrics. this is because i think bands like "for today" or "underoath" are visionary with their christian, pretty lyrics, and they manage to make it sound so br00t4l hahah.
5. I've seen some band with hardcore/metalcore/screamo, and they looks similar one to another. and now this genre becomes trend in the metal world. What do you think about this ?
i disagree. i think they are 2 totally different genres. its not a good or bad thing. its just 2 different scenes. if you go to a show with like "liferuiner", "maesion", and "remember thy name", its going to be a lot different than a show with like "lamb of god".
and honestly, i think some metal bands sell out to the hxc scene because its more popular right now and they want money.
6. And what makes this band different than the other hardcore/screamo band ?
our musical backround. were so young that were influenced by other hardcore/screamo/metalcore bands. were listening to that and were trying to take it to the next level. were not there yet but i plan to be.
7. Studio or the stage. Which one is the best for you ?
hands down stage. live shows are the greatest thing in the history of the world! when people hardcore dance or mosh to our music, its the best compliment we can receive. im not saying people listening to m.t! isnt, i just think its more personal since theyre at a show.
8. Becomes commercial band or becomes indie band. Which one you choose and give us a reason.
indie. indie labels wouldnt force you to like change your style because a certain one doesn't pay as much. and i dont think anyone could get screwed with an indie label.
9. With your demo. What would you like to achieve with your music?
were trying to get our music out in the open with this demo. just to give people a taste of what we sound like. so we get like our first little fan base. later on this year were recording a full length thats going to be for real! that should boost the musicianship and the popularity.
10. How important is it to you to stay close to your fans?
the only rule in the rule book, and that is ELE. everybody love everybody(will ferrell quote) hahahaha. but seriously, if you dont love, interact, and update your fans, you get nowhere in the music biz.
11. What are the best and worst things about being in a band?
really hard question. i love playing shows for people. just the energy in general is amazing. all of it what i dont like? waking up at a certain time and having to be strict and organized hahah.
12. With your experience. How the technology helps the musician ?
myspace is the most revolutionary thing in music since recording. hahaha without it, many bands would never be heard
13. Message to the metal band fans around the world ?
moshers leave the hardcore dancers alone hahah. its more skilled, and hurts more hahah.
Mouse Trap @ Myspace

Summer of Soccer 2019
With three major international tournaments going on right now, soccer fans and...
These athletes from various generations embody the values of Black History Month through their commitment to sport and the impact their presence has had on the world away from the hardwood.
Nike has chosen pioneers Michael Jordan, Julius "Dr. J" Erving, and Kobe Bryant from our NIKE, Inc. basketball brand portfolio as inspiration in the creation of an integrated collection of product (footwear & apparel).
Two distinct collections were created: Black History Month 2011 Collection and the Black History Month On-Court Celebration Collection, 2011.
"We are bringing together our top basketball brands and athletes to celebrate this important day and month," said Craig Zanon, Nike Vice President and General Manager, Global Basketball.
"We're also shining a spotlight on three of the game's most pioneering spirits: Kobe Bryant, '"Dr. J" and Michael Jordan by creating product inspired by them."
The Black History Month 2011 Collection Design details of the apparel and footwear collections will feature various inspirational iconography representatives of basketball "pioneer" athletes.
The Black History On Court Celebration Collection, 2011 collection features a wide array of basketball performance silhouettes across NIKE Inc that will be worn by 26 teams playing 13 NBA games on January 17th.
These shoes are guaranteed to become a must have for the sneaker enthusiast as well as the serious collectors. This isn't some half baked idea, a lot of time and attention to detail was given to each stitch of these limited edition shoes.
1. The Modern Gold was chosen to represent all three pioneers' championship call to greatness.
2. The Historic Black is to recall the black Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers commonly worn by basketball pioneers in the 1960s; bestowing black sneakers with a magical aura.
3. Black African-American Handcraft to celebrate classic African-American art.
To continue the celebration, Nike Inc will make a sizable donation to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. I'm having a hard time right now deciding which pair to wear during the NBA All Star Weekend this year in Los Angeles.

Photo of the Day Monday 24th December 2012 – Not the Quality Spa Resort Hotel, Norefjell.
Thought for the day…." If you cannot see the bright side of life, polish the dull side".
Did you know that the world's largest and biggest Christmas present is the Statue of Liberty. France gave the United States the Statue of Liberty in 1886, or that all the gifts in the Twelve Days of Christmas verses would equal 364 gifts. Santa Claus is based on a real person, St. Nikolas of Myra (also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker, Bishop Saint Nicholas of Smyrna, and Nikolaos of Bari), who lived during the fourth century. Born in Patara (in modern-day Turkey), he is the world's most popular non-Biblical saint, and artists have portrayed him more often than any other saint except Mary.
It is estimated that the single "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin is the best selling single of all time, with over 100 million sales worldwide. In Canada, Santa Claus has his own postal zip code, H0H 0H0. There are two islands in the world named 'Christmas'. One in the Pacific ocean and the other in the Indian ocean.
And a different photo to end with….a 'normal' photograph of buildings and a blue sky given the editing treatment and a twirl effect.

The house wonders in a circle and you are free to roam in all the rooms. This week the living room features a Victorian sofa flanked on either side by tables that were created by converting a vanity. They are painted with chalk paint (R) by Annie Sloan in a custom mix of pink – using Old White and Emperors Silk.

Neowin's 7 Days of Apple juice, Cortana's crossover, and waiting for Windows 10By Steven Parker
After all the action from last week's Mobile World Congress, you may well have expected this week to be a good deal quieter. As if! From new devices to juicy rumors, the last seven days have been crammed full of exciting developments, so let's get on with it!
It was a bit of a mixed week for Apple, which suffered a major worldwide service outage on Wednesday that brought down key services, including both the iOS and Mac App Stores, TestFlight and iTunes Connect, among others.
In typical Apple fashion, the company did its best to simply pretend that everything was just fine, ignoring press requests for information, and completely failing to inform its users of what was going on. In fact, despite its customers complaining about the outage across social media for hours, Apple's service status dashboard continued to report that all of its services were running perfectly.
Of course, that wasn't quite how Apple was hoping its week would turn out. Two days earlier, the firm had been enjoying much more positive global coverage of its 'Spring Forward' media event.
A price drop on the Apple TV box was announced there, reducing the price from $99 to just $69. Not bad – but the company's second announcement was even more exciting: Apple customers will enjoy exclusive access (for three months) to the brand new HBO Now streaming service. When it launches in April, users will be able to pay $14.99 a month for unlimited access to HBO's past and present library of shows, including Game of Thrones, The Sopranos and Sex and the City.
Apple also revealed that it has sold over 700 million iPhones since the very first model went on sale, but it was the company's new Watch that really got people talking – especially the top-of-the-range 18-karat gold 'Watch Edition', which will be priced at an eye-watering $10,000. Curiously, the gold model's technical specs are identical to the versions that will sell for 'only' hundreds of dollars, offering no advantage over the cheaper models whatsoever.
The company also spoke for the first time about battery life on the watch, claiming that it offers a "full day" of usage. A "full day" in Apple-speak is actually 18 hours when it comes to the Watch, based on a particular pattern of usage; if, for example, you use the Watch for voice chat, expect it to run out of juice in just three hours.
Apple's idea of "all-day" battery life was even stranger when it came to unveiling its stunning new 12-inch MacBook. The new notebook is even thinner than the Air (although it costs more), and that full day of battery will just about stretch to nine hours of web browsing, according to the company.
The MacBook (yep, confusingly, it's just called 'MacBook') introduces new features like a pressure-sensitive 'Force Touch' trackpad, and the same technology is reportedly being developed for use on the display of Apple's next-gen iPhones. The new laptop is also one of the first devices to use a USB Type-C connector.
While the MacBook replaces many of its ports with a single USB Type-C port (and will therefore require an adapter for many users), Google's new flagship notebook gets two of these ports. Its second-generation Chromebook Pixel was unveiled earlier this week, starting at a new lower price of $999, and includes some pretty decent specs for the price.
USB Type-C Spec 1.0 has a reversible design, which means no more fumbling around to connect a cable the right way up. Paired with the USB 3.1 standard, it also offers 'SuperSpeed+' data throughput rates of up to 10Gbps. Google was among many of the world's leading tech firms to participate in development of Type-C, and the company confirmed this week that it plans to bring the connector to many more Chromebooks and Android phones "in the near future".
Microsoft overhauled its homepage with a new design this week, featuring larger images, new iconography and a simplified responsive layout.
The company also rolled out an update for its Surface Pro 3 tablet; specifically, for the 'Surface Pen' stylus that's bundled with the device. Users can now customize the responsiveness of the Pen, and can also enjoy "additional levels of pressure sensitivity adjustment".
A further update was released for the Surface RT on the same day, bringing a new driver set to improve audio and video performance on the first-gen tablet.
Last November, Microsoft announced plans to rebrand its Lync communications suite under the 'Skype for Business' brand. The company will formalize these changes on March 18, when it will also launch a new Skype for Business client to replace Lync.
It's been almost two months since Microsoft rolled out the most recent build (9926) of its Windows 10 Technical Preview – a fact that has made something of a mockery of its 'fast' and 'slow' tiers for deploying new updates.
On Monday, Microsoft's Gabe Aul offered an explanation for why the firm hasn't committed to a date for its next build, and admitted that it's been a bit too conservative when it comes to pushing out new builds so far. He also revealed that the company has been discussing how best to address this, even considering a 'ludicrous speed' rollout option for users who are prepared to live with more buggy and less stable builds.
On Thursday, MS confirmed that it will begin to push out new builds more frequently to those on the 'Fast ring', and that a new build is now in testing that is likely to be released soon.
There have been plenty of screenshots this week showing new builds in development. At the start of the week, build 10031 was exposed in a gallery of images; but this weekend, build 10036 actually leaked onto the web, enabling users to download and install it onto their devices.
Among various new bits included are updates to the Start menu, including transparency support, and improved app management features. However, our experience with 10036 so far indicates that this build is much less stable than 9926, so if you're not prepared to deal with bugs and crashes, it's best that you avoid it, and enjoy our image gallery instead.
One of the many new features on the way in Windows 10 is Cortana, Microsoft's digital 'personal assistant', which debuted a year ago as part of Windows Phone 8.1. Ever since then, persistent rumors have suggested that Microsoft was planning to bring Cortana to other operating systems – speculation which has only intensified as the company has continued to increase availability of its apps and services onto rival platforms.
We end our brief roundup from the full article with a shameless plug for our recent interview with James Atkins, chief marketing officer of European mobile brand KAZAM. The company now offers six Windows phones and tablets, as well as a range of Android handsets.
We had a great chat with James about why the company joined the Windows platform, where innovation really matters in mobile devices, and a bit of trouble that KAZAM got into over an ad that focused a bit too much on a lady in her underwear.
Be sure to check out the interview, and stay tuned to Neowin in the coming weeks, as we'll be giving away the KAZAM Tornado 348 – the Guinness World Record holder for 'World's Thinnest Smartphone'. For now, have a great weekend!

The development of entrepreneurs is one of the most effective ways of stimulating economic growth, transformation and the creation of jobs in our communities. We recognise that a growing small, medium and micro-sized enterprise (SMME) sector is vital for broadening economic participation and delivering on our country's economic development objectives.
Sasol's Enterprise and Supplier Development function was established to ensure focused and integrated delivery of Sasol's programmes aimed at contributing to the development of the SMME sector and the diversification of our supplier pool.
Our approach to enterprise and supplier development is to nurture, grow and sustain SMMEs by providing technical and business development support, through mentoring and coaching. In addition we provide loan funding to our qualifying SMME suppliers through the Sasol Siyakha Enterprise and Supplier Development Fund ("Sasol Siyakha Fund").
Through our R53 million Sasol Business Incubator facility which was developed in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry, located in Sasolburg, we provide start up SMMEs with business development support, funding solutions, infrastructure and offices.
The Sasol Business Incubator (SBI) is located at the Eco-industrial Park in the industrial heart of Sasolburg and was developed through a public-private partnership between Sasol and the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) to accelerate the successful development primarily of local start-up small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs). The objective is to promote the sustainability of start-up SMMEs by providing an array of business, technical and financial related support solutions together with fully equipped manufacturing facilities, essential business infrastructure and a network of experts and services.
The facility comprises five main areas including:
- A 2 000m2 double storey Main Building consisting of conference, meeting and training venues, an entertainment area and offices for service related enterprises.
- SBI One is a 500m2 area divided into three general, small scale manufacturing spaces and 12 incubatee offices.
- SBI Two is a 500m2 area that has a large chemical storage and dispensing facility, four partitioned spaces for manufacturing of chemicals and cosmetics, four final product storage spaces, a central facility for packaging and labelling, a raw material storage space and a small laboratory for general analysis
- SBI Three is a 450m2 area that contains three partitioned spaces and a communal production area for the manufacturing of plastic products.
- SBI Four is a 450m2 area allocated as a single space for mechanical fabrication.
The intention is to enable and host a sustainable economic ecosystem comprising a diverse mix of SMMEs, service providers and stakeholders that can support each other as well as other businesses located in the Eco-industrial Park.
The incubation model supports SMMEs in two distinct phases namely – physical and virtual. Physical incubation support ranges from 3 to 12 months during which time they should graduate and leave the incubation facility with the intention of establishing their enterprise in the Eco-industrial Park. During the virtual phase, the SBI team of Incubator Specialists will continue to support these enterprises for 24 months to ensure sustainability.
The SBI team of Incubation Specialists will guide each Incubatee during, the start-up and commercialisation of their enterprise and will also provide or facilitate the following services to the SMMEs:
- Funding solutions
- Coaching and mentoring
- Access to expert networks
- Monthly engagement sessions and workshops
Excellent, serviced office space is available to Incubatees at an affordable rate. The rate includes shared access to resources and facilities including admission control and security, receptionist, telephone, fax machine, Wi-Fi network, computer, printer, cleaning service, maintenance and beverages (tea and coffee). In addition, the four conference rooms on the ground floor are available to hire on an hourly basis.
Depending on the development requirements of the enterprise in the incubation programme, development funding may be afforded to assist the enterprise in the start-up process. This could amongst others include, but is not limited to, development funding for training, quality management systems, Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) processes, Human Resources (HR) support, branding, corporate identity and marketing.

A Daily Word from the Word for Wednesday, November 28, 2012
"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil" – 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
While there is much nourishment to consume in this verse, we will focus on the revelation that the Lord has for us concerning the message for today, which is the very last three words: "thinks no evil." This morning, (yesterday morning for you by the time you read this) as I was updating my "resources" page of my ministry website and changing the date of the update, the Lord spoke to me. He said "just as when you change the old date to the new date, and you keep no record of a previous revision; so do I keep no records of wrong concerning My children. I continually cause old things to pass away, and make all things new (2 Corinthians 5:17)." I had to sit and soak for a minute, my brothers and sisters, and bask with a grateful heart in the goodness and mercy of the Father. God is love (1 John 4:8).
The Greek word for "thinks" as used in this verse is logizomai (pr. log-id-zom-ahee), which means "to take inventory, think on" (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance). The word "evil" comes from the Greek kakos (pr. kak-os) and means "injurious, bad, evil, ill, noisome, wicked." Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines "noisome" as "highly obnoxious or objectionable."
When we become sons and daughters of the Father, and are adopted into His royal family through Jesus Christ by accepting the Son of all sons as our Lord and Savior, repenting of our sins and receiving the free gift of salvation through His sinless and spotless Blood, and inviting Jesus to permanently live in us, our filthy and evil record is erased from the books— washed away by the Blood of the Savior.
The cool thing about the word "think" as it used here, is that it is a progressive word. Whenever you see the Greek word ending in ai (pr. ahee), it signifies that it is an action word that is still continuing; therefore, it always is a 'right-now' word. For every believer, every child of the Most High King, our inventory sheets, our records are constantly being washed in the Blood of the Lamb; and every hint, every trace of wrong-doing is forever cleansed from the record! It is gone, erased, irretrievable.
The only time these remnants of wrongful reminiscing are resurrected are when we bring them up. So stop doing it! Your Big Brother and Savior Jesus is constantly cleansing your record, so stop making His job more difficult by working against Him! :-). See, you get a smiley for that. It really should be a half smiley, since I am only half joking, but my keyboard doesn't have such a key.
And every time the devil tries to bring up your past, tell him to go to hell. This is one of the few times I won't get in trouble from my apostle for using "h-e-double-hockey-sticks." Otherwise, I get the deep voice, head slightly angled down, serious face, saying really slow "Matthew." Look, I can joke like this. I am a son of the apostle; plus, he reads these, and he will probably laugh but won't admit it :-). Shout-out to my beloved Apostle Dr. Don Lyon. Okay, people, slightly off track. Sorry, here we go.
There is an old but good saying in ministry: "When the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future." We have read the back of the Book, so we know the ending. God has already won, and the devil was defeated once and for all when Jesus went to the cross. This despicable dastardly demon is just buying time and creating havoc while waiting for his impending doom. Too bad we can't give him an early reservation at Hotel Hell. Sorry folks, I am really silly while I am writing this for some reason. I am trying to get it together.
There is another truly amazing revelation concerning this word logizomai. It comes from the root word logos (pr. log-os) which means "none of these things move me, the Divine Expression (Jesus Christ)." As children of God, we are hid in Christ (Colossians 3:3); therefore, when God sees us, He sees the Divine Expression of His Son, and is not moved in His relationship with us when we do wrong. God can no more can deny His First-born Son, the Father can no more deny His children, than He can deny Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13 testifies to this truth when it shouts from the hilltops of heaven that "God cannot deny Himself!"
My son can really test me. There are past times when I have really needed to say "Lord, help to not put my hands on this child." Come on now parents, get that "I never" look off your face. You know what I am talking about. There are times when I wanted to put my son through a wall. And the thing is, when he was younger, and he knew I was mad at him, he would sit there, in the same space, and refuse to go to his room. I would say "Joseph, leave me please." And he would sit right there, egging me on and say "I am not leaving." As upset as I was with him, I no more could deny him than I could deny myself, because he is a part of me. When I look at him, I see me. Despite his highly obnoxious and objectionable behavior at times, none of these things could ever move me from being his father, or from him being my son. Now multiply this level of love by infinity when it comes to the love that our heavenly Father has for us.
My precious brother and my beautiful sister, this is where God, the Father of all fathers, wants you to be in your relationship with Him. Your loving Father needs you to know, to truly believe "that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38). Don't believe it because I said it. Believe it because God said it and God does not lie; nor does He keep any records of our wrong-doing.
Father, thank You for loving us so much. Thank You that we love You because You first loved us (1 John 4:19). Loving Father, help us experience the secure knowing that can only come from You concerning the permanency and unbreakable bond we share as your sons and daughters. Do this assuring work in us, and place Your promise deep within our spirits. In Jesus Name, we thank you that we most assuredly belong to You. Amen and Amen.
Take action! Challenge your thinking! Choose to be secure in your place, position, and relationship as a child of the Most High Father; of Whom, you are always near and dear to His heart. Choose to forget your records of wrong-doing just as your Father has, by the Blood of Jesus. Choose instead to enjoy your childhood, friendship, and fellowship with your loving Father. And continue to fight the good fight of focusing on the love of your Daddy; for God, your Amazing Grace, has already given you the victory!

Welcome to Media Month | Movies on Movies Week – Day 4. The olden days of VHS weren't all that bad were they? I mean, The Ring wouldn't have been as good as it was if it were about a haunted DVD, would it? Plus, as far as home movies are concerned, VHS is all about nostalgia…though, it does depend on how old you are, I guess. For some, a VHS tape may or may not be as old and forgotten as an 8-track tape…but that's part of the point in Be Kind Rewind. It's nostalgic, it's classic, it's fun. Let's start with the plot.
In Passaic, NJ, Elroy Fletcher runs a video store in a condemned building he claims was the birthplace of Fats Waller. Fletcher goes on a Waller centennial trip, leaving his foster son Mike in charge of the store. Mike's peculiar friend Jerry tries to sabotage a power station and nearly electrocutes himself, getting magnetized in the process. He inadvertently erases every tape in the store. Mike and Jerry hatch an plan to hide the disaster by making a homemade "Ghostbusters" to rent to a woman whom Fletcher will be phoning to check on them. Soon, with help, their homemade versions of films develop a cult following. Will this new business save the store and the building? What about Fats? – IMDb
I may be part of a biased audience, to be honest, because this brings me way back to when I was a kid and my brothers and I would whip out the big fat VHS Camcorder to film our own versions of our favorite movies. We got so invested in doing them that we ended up doing our own original films for several years. So yes, I may be a little biased when it comes to this film. That being said, we also have to really appreciate the creative minds that went to work when creating this film. There's a lot of random things going on all at once, and they are random enough to be pretty hilarious, too. It's a weird movie, but weird in a good way. You should definitely check it out at some point.
This is all just first impressions though, let's break down Be Kind Rewind to interpret the stars!
Acting – 1|Characters – 1|Casting – 2|Importance – 1|Chemistry – 2
First up, we have the people category, starting off with the subcategory of acting. The acting was neither terrible or great, mostly typical and forgettable. The characters were fine, but I won't be remembering them forever. I am convinced that nobody else can play these characters. They are perfect for these roles. In this film, there were characters that certainly held independent importance and purpose, but not enough. The main characters basically held the importance while everyone else sorta blended together. Everyone in this film really worked well together. Their chemistry was off the charts.
Dialogue – 2|Balanced – 2|Story – 1|Originality – 2|Interesting – 2
Next up, we have the writing category, starting off with the dialogue, which was actually really well thought out. There's a lot of memorable lines, and just the way people speak is hard to forget. I would certainly say that the film is also very well-balanced and consistantly holds a strong focus on the story at hand. When it comes to the actual story, I can't really say it's the best. It's got a few things here and there that I think a lot of people will enjoy, but it's certainly not the greatest story ever told. In my opinion, I also think this film feels fresh and pretty darn original. Was this movie interesting? Of course it was, don't be silly. I was all-in for this one.
Visuals – 2|Directing – 1|Editing – 1|Advertisement – 2|Music – 1
Next up, we're taking a look behind-the-scenes, starting with the visuals, and the visuals were pretty darn great here. Somebody knew what they were doing. Next, we're taking a look at the directing, which slips by without you noticing it. That's right, there wasn't anything difficult or challenging for the director. They could've hired any director for the job and the movie would be exactly the same. Nothing challenging or difficult in the editor's desk, folks. They stitched the movie together just fine, but there's nothing else to report here because even a kid could probably do it. As with most films, I consider this film to be exactly as-advertised, which is good. There wasn't anything fancy or memorable about the music. It was basically as good as it needed to be in order to keep the tone in place…and that's what they did here, as well.
Introduction – 2|Inciting Incident – 2|Obstacles – 2|Climax – 1|Falling Action – 1
Next up, we're chugging right along into the narrative arc category, which is one of the easiest categories to score highly in. First up, we're looking at the introduction, which did perfectly. By the inciting incident, we knew who everyone was, the basic setting, and what's going on in these people's lives. How about the inciting incident? That was perfectly clear and set the rest of the film up for a good ride. How were the obstacles? Totally fine. There were plenty of clear obstacles in the way, just as you'd come to expect. How was the climax? It was okay, a little anticlimactic overall because it didn't feel like any culmination of everything else put together. Alright, so how was the falling action? Well, it started to calm things down a little bit, but other than that, not the best. You never get the sensation that they are returning to a new norm, so it's not a complete falling action.
Rewatchability – 2|Fun – 2|Impulse/Buy – 1|Impulse/Talk – 0|Sucks Audience IN – 1
Next up, we're asking if this film is any good to be considered entertaining when all is said and done. First up, we ask if it is rewatchable, to which I say…yes! I would have no issues checking out this movie again! Is this a film I would consider fun while watching? Oh yeah, absolutely. Whatever technical problems the movie may or may not have, it is definitely fun, and that's something no one can take away from it. Would I like to buy this movie? Well, maybe…if it was either on sale for cheaper or if I just bought the digital copy. What about talking to somebody about the film that hasn't heard of it? I really have no impulse to tell anybody about it, honestly. Does this suck you in, though? Maybe in certain parts, but definitely not throughout.
Weekly Theme – 10|Drama – 5|Comedy – 10|Concept – 10|Halfway Decent – 10
Onto the specialty questions that I wrote down before seeing the movie. First of all, how does this fit in with the weekly theme of movies about movies? I don't think anything could be any truer. What we have here is a ton of creativity and originality based on the love of film in general, which adds to the concept of making fan-related films, so full points on both of those areas. As for the genre-specific things, like drama and comedy, I have to say the comedy is different but smart. Drama, on the other hand, not so much. It's mostly about being silly, so there aren't many dramatic aspects to it, although it can be found – half points there. Finally, is it halfway decent? Definitely.

Katee Sackhoff Joins Female 'Expendables' Cast
The much-discussed female version of The Expendables just got way fracking cooler with today's news that Battlestar Galatica vet Katee Sackhoff is joining the cast.
The actress, best known for playing Captain Kara "Starbuck" Thrace on the wildly popular sci-fi series, will join MMA fighter Gina Carano in the upcoming feature.
Adi Shankar will produce the estrogen-laced action flick, based on a Dutch Southern script.
Shankar is pleased with getting Sackhoff signed to the project, telling Variety "If you spend five minutes with Katee it becomes blatantly obvious that she would pwn (sic) most male action stars." We're not entirely sure we buy that – but we have enjoyed Sackhoff's work on Galactica and are excited she's now involved here.
Sources close to the project say that several other big name actresses are currently circling the project. Our own Monika Bartyzel recently wrote a column detailing her "dream team" of "Expendabelles," and we hope Shankar read it and took notes. If Cynthia Rothrock and Michelle Yeoh aren't in this movie, we're going to be incredibly disappointed.
What do you guys think of this latest casting? What other female actresses must be in this movie? Seems like Sigourney Weaver should be in there for sure.

As an aside note, I am always playing catch-up with all my 'sensory postcards' – I take way too many photos, videos and audio recordings and can never manage to turn all of these experiences into blog entries…it really has become about 'recording to remember now, not remember later' (the tagline from fieldnotes). I guess if I really wanted to turn these experiences into a proper archive I have to be more disciplined and make myself blog every day or something of that sort. Once a month is not enough – I am so in the habit of collecting these that I do it literally everyday. So here's one for the memory lane.
it would be much quieter but for the planes overhead, bus traffic and wind; distant children http://t.co/mD8ZxIdQpD pic.twitter.com/MgBtOOCxzC — Milena D (@milivanili) July 22, 2014
I've been at SFU for over 12 years….I started on this very same campus, Burnaby mountain, living in the campus dorms, walking along the concrete-and-grassy combination that sort of epitomize this campus. There is just so much 'meadow' space here that it's never been a problem to find an empty-ish lawn and park oneself down for some alone time. I remember spending many days and days parking myself in different corners, nooks and crannies of the mountain. I feel a bit like a tree that stands in one place seeing change take shape in front. In the time I've been here the campus has gone from empty grass and forest to a cornerstone of shops and supermarket and artificial fountain and a big condo development – elementary school even! Around 1/3rd of the campus has been completely gutted and renovated, and probably a 1/6th of brand new space has been added. Yet there are still these empty grassy areas that are so private, so quiet, so 'alone-with-your-thoughts' and hence the sensory postcard. This feeling of being hidden away, of being surrounded by concrete and forest at the same time, is kind of unique and safe in its familiarity. And even aurally, the combination of distant buss roar and children's voices just within earshot brings back memories of living on campus during the summer alongside constant summer camps. This sound, it's both irritating to my desire for serenity, and at the same time joyous and uplifting in its predictability. It's the sound of renewal if I had to name it. Always new kids, always willing to make a racket.

Analyst Calls 3D Systems a Stock to Buy with Street-High Target After Capital Raise
3D Systems Corp. (NYSE: DDD) had what we called a very poorly priced secondary offering to raise acquisition capital last week. What stands out for this 3D printing leader is that the stock is already back up over where it was before the offering, and one of the analysts in the underwriting group is already reiterating a Buy rating and raising the price target to a new street-high compared to other analysts.
Today's positive analyst call came from Canaccord Genuity, which was a co-lead manager with Piper Jaffray, behind Needham & Company as the book-running manager. The firm's Bobby Burleson reiterated his Buy rating and raised his price target up to $50 from $45 in the call. That is above the consensus price target of $42.75. Today's raised price target is now also a street high, as Thomson Reuters shows that 3D's top price target was $45 on the stock.
Earnings per share are being geared down, but that is due to share dilution after the offering rather than due to sales changes. The firm's new model was revised down from $1.12 to $1.06 per share for 2013 and down from $1.62 to $1.52 per share for 2014. Be advised that the firm is signaling that today's adjusted share price is 33 times its 2014 earnings per share target.
Revenue remains unchanged at $115.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 and unchanged at $485 million for all of 2013. The 2014 revenue estimate is unchanged at $614 million. Here is the consensus from Thomson Reuters: $110.8 million for Q2, $469.77 million in 2013 and $576.8 million in 2014.
Berleson's research note said:
We are increasing our price target following healthy appreciation for 3D Systems shares over the past month. While share count increases slightly on recent secondary, we believe 3D Systems can deliver upside to consensus estimates driven by strong printer and services revenue. We also expect multiple expansion as the company moves into the commercialization phase for Bespoke (carpal tunnel braces) in the second half of this year.
Those who bought 3D Systems on the secondary are already up 10%. That offering went off at $40 per share and the overallotment was exercised. Shares are up 1.2% at $44.38 as of early Monday trading.

(Portage, AK) – The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center announces the departure of its founder, Mike Miller and his wife, Kelly, and the promotion of Dianna Whitney to Executive Director.
Mike started Big Game Alaska in 1993, as a for-profit. The operation became the non-profit Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in 2004. Mike's determination, dedication and passion for wildlife turned the wildlife center into one of the top-rated tourist destinations in the state of Alaska.
For the past 25 years, Mike Miller has been the face of the Center while serving as the Executive Director. Mike was a familiar sight on his 4-wheeler, sharing his experience, wisdom and knowledge of the resident animals with millions of visitors.
One of Mike's most important contributions to conservation was his decade-long role with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game in rearing, and then releasing, 130 wood bison back into western Alaska. Wood bison were once abundant in much of Alaska until they disappeared more than 100 years ago and were thought to be extinct.
Kelly served as the Director of Education, creating the Bison in a Box program, animal-themed field trips and her famous porcupine presentations and scavenger hunts.
Whitney joined the AWCC team in September of 2016 and brings over a decade of management and operations experience to her new assignment. Prior to working at the wildlife center, she was the Vice President and General Manager of the ski area at Alyeska Resort.
Whitney has an Associate of Arts degree from the University of Alaska and is a Kenai Resource Advisory Commissioner and Visit Anchorage Board Member. She holds certifications in outdoor emergency care, swift water rescue, Alaska Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead, OSHA general construction and OSHA construction safety and health. An avid outdoor adventure seeker, she competed in the Arctic Winter Games, Senior Nordic Nationals and has climbed Denali twice.
As Executive Director, she is responsible for overseeing the administration, programs and strategic plan of the center.

Running Wild: Explore the outdoors in Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire has some absolutely brilliant wild and green spaces, perfect for letting kids with end-of-term-itis run off some steam! Here are five of our favourites:
They say romantic poet Lord Byron was mad, bad and dangerous to know, but you haven't had a day out with my kids! Lord Byron is famous the world over as a passionate lover, a political revolutionary and a man who inspired the Greeks to victory over Turkish rule. My wild ones love hanging out at his Nottingham pad, running through the ruined Abbey, giggling at the sculptures with bums and hopping across the stepping stones in the Japanese gardens.
I've even had the pleasure of taking a trip back to Victorian times inside the house on a school trip with my eldest; Newstead is especially magical at Christmas. Afterwards there's always time for a snack in the cafe and some marvelling at the resident peacocks.
One of the first places I visited while pregnant with my first born, after moving to Nottingham, this park is a place we come back to time and time again. The perfect mix of wild and stately, with the added claim to fame of being used as the set for Bruce Wayne's mansion in Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, Wollaton is guaranteed to spark their imaginations.
We love playing amongst old trees and watching the deer roam, disappearing into the rhododendrons and playing hide and seek. It doesn't need a playground, but it has a brilliant new adventure style play area, plus there are often bouncy castles in summer. To finish we like a hot chocolate or an ice cream in the courtyard cafe.
I won't lie, it's the food in the cafe on stilts on the water that always makes me crave a trip to Attenborough - lovely homemade stews, panini and cake. I first came here with my daughter in a pram, and 10 years on we are still finding plenty to keep our kids busy. The flat tracks are brilliant for pushchairs, scooters and bikes, there are lots of different loops to keep it varied and the routes extend as their legs grow.
Attenborough is a great place to encourage a love of nature, mine enjoy to sitting in a bird hide with a snack and some binoculars or saying hello to the very tame robins that always make an appearance. The weekend and holiday activity sessions for kids are inspirational here, plus the cafe has hands on activities, we loved the watching the peregrine falcon web cam, live from the city centre.
We arrived here in our VW camper many years ago to try out the campsite and didn't want to leave. Clumber Park has what feels like endless acres to run or cycle wild, there's an amazing feeling of space where every family can find a beautiful spot to call their own for the day.
Shelter from the sunshine under the leafy canopy of Europe's longest lime tree avenue, explore woodland, heath or park up in your own wooded grove for a picnic. You can hire bikes here and explore 20 miles of cycle track and 5 miles of lakeside track, plus there's a cafe, shop and walled playground.
Creswell Crags sounds absolutely perfect for a day when the kids are behaving in a way that is positively neanderthal. Home of the Ice Age Hunter, Creswell Crags is a limestone gorge honeycombed with caves and smaller fissures. Stone tools and remains of animals found in the caves by archaeologists provide evidence for a fascinating story of life during the last Ice Age between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago. How wild would it be to see the only ice age cave art in Britain and inspire your kids with the work of Britain's first artists?
Where are your favourite places to run wild in Nottinghamshire? Let us know in the comments.

Project Amagezzi has started
The project Amagezzi can be followed at the Wiki or should I say bliki (?), under the category "CategoryAmagezzi". The idea about the students project using eachothers project (like us and the 3M with their bliki idea) is in my opinnion an example of good team spirit! 🙂

Take a look between the HIGH ISO test between Fuji XT2 and Fuji XT1, the Fuji XT2 features newly developed 24 megapixel X-Trance CMOS sensor whereas is the Fuji film XT1 features 16 mega pixel X Trance CMOS sensor.
Both the camera announced few years apart and the X-T2 arrived with a completely new generation of sensor and image processor, So does the new technology really help X-T2 to perform better than then its predecessor. Let's find out
If you look and HIGH ISO Test between @ISO3200 you will notice Fuji xt2 does images are bigger compared to the X-T1, the reason is X-T2 features 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III Sensor whereas the X-T1 features 16.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor.
The higher resolution images of the X-T2 camera giving us more details compared to the X-T1 camera and having less noise.
AT ISO 12800 the Fuji X-T2 image contain a lot of details compared to the X-T1 and also maintaining color noise very well.
Fuji X-T2 is also performing better at ISO 51200 compared to the X-T1 camera. However both the images are useless, usable ISO range of both the camera remains limited to ISO12800.
Conclusion – Fuji X-T2 performing better than than the X-T1 camera, we highly recommend you to get the X-T2 camera. ( Fuji X-T2 at Amazon | B&H)
Also don't forget that Fuji will announce X200 coming this September more details here.

30 YEAR FIXED Current Rates today are 4.625% for 1.625 points + approximately $3k in closing costs on 35 day pricing up to $417,000

30 YEAR FIXED Current Rates today are 5.25% for absolutely 0 Cost on 35 day pricing (minimum loan amount is $250k) up to $417,000
The rates today for a zero cost loan are 5.25% on a 30 year fixed for a $250,000 loan (the new conforming jumbo limit is $729,750).
Please be aware, lower rates are always available by paying points, fees/closing costs – WHICH WE DO OFFER. The question is, does it make sense to pay those closing costs & get those lower rates? We can show you the break-even point & then you decide. We offer both!
Yes, we have the same rates as the signs on the sides of the freeways, but please understand that it is going to cost you, to get those rates with anyone you go to.
With our program, if the rate drops, we can refinance you again at no cost to the lower rate - just like all of our borrower's did right after Hurricane Katrina. Rates dropped a .25% the day right after the Hurricane because almost everyone in New Orleans lost their jobs. And due to those job losses, rates dropped considerably in one day. So guess what we did right after we closed their loans? That's right! We refinanced them again to the lower rate & it didn't cost them a penny. Now, we are not saying there is going to be another Hurricane, Terrorist attack, but I definitely do see the Economy slowing (I think Retail Sales are going to see 20-30 year record lows & the exact day I see it happening is the day after Thanksgiving – the busiest shopping day of the year), and if the economy does slow down some more, then guess what? Rates are going to come down & we have a great program for you because, with us, we can refi you again & give you the lower rate at absolutely zero cost. As a company, we get paid the same amount to refinance you 1, 2, 3, or 4 times. So, our hope is that rates drop & we can refinance you again. Our average customer has refinanced 4x since May 2002 - because the rates kept coming down. We are not market forecasters or anything like that, nor do we predict the future - we just hope the rates drop so we can refinance you again at no cost!
We are only one of 3 Co.'s that advertises this on TV & Radio in California. Our concept is volume.
We can be reached at 949-222-0240 & thanks for being part of the SFM Network. We stand behind our match & beat guarantee no matter who you deal with as long as you get a good faith estimate in writing.

The time is now to profit with foreclosures! A "Perfect Storm" of economic events has made investing in California foreclosure properties an incredible opportunity -- and now's the time for you to profit...
With a deep recession, mortgage crisis, adjustable rate mortgages re-setting, balloon payments coming to term, borrowers losing equity in their homes, a home market turned upside down by recent events, and a tidal wave of foreclosure filings, there are literally thousands of foreclosures, short sales, REOs, and under-valued properties in Southern California --many in your area--ready to be purchased far below market value.
Join us for this all day foreclosure bootcamp that will change your life. Led by Lloyd Segal. Lloyd is known as "California's Leading Foreclosure Expert," and author of "Stop Foreclosure Now" (recipient of 2008 Award for best personal finance book by USA Book News), and "Stop Foreclosure Now in California."
According to Retran foreclosure services, foreclosure filings surged in 2008, and are now exploding in 2009, as California (the state that once enjoyed a white-hot housing market) is now seeing the greatest number of loan defaults and foreclosures in the state's history.
The current rise in foreclosures is an incredible opportunity for you to achieve the privileged life you've always dreamed about not years from now, but months from now. Lloyd's Foreclosure training will reveal the specific foreclosure investing strategies and techniques that have been used again and again by foreclosure investors to purchase these properties substantially below market.

There are thousands of properties and distressed homeowners in your area, and they need your help! Attend this Bootcamp in Beverly Hills Saturday, November 21st, 2009 & Saturday, December 5th, 2009, you will expand your knowledge, increase your wealth, and create your own "retirement plan."
At this exciting foreclosure bootcamp, you will learn:
California's non-judicial foreclosure procedures.
How to find foreclosure properties.
How to contact homeowners in foreclosure.
What to say (and not say) to these distressed homeowners.
How to structure the deal (and create a win/win situation).

Our Next FORECLOSURE tour to Palmdale/Lancaster is Saturday December 12th
Email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com & let me know if you would like to attend or not
Here's what people told me from our last Foreclosure Tour in Lancaster/Palmdale!
Hello Fred, The tour to Lancaster was very meaningful for me and my husband. Thank you for your time and kindness - Mariko Shibano
Take a look at this cash on cash spreadsheet I did on some properties I have been writing offers on. There are some incredible deals out there right now.
Date – Saturday December 12th @ 2p
Location - Lancaster Public Library, Lancaster, CA 93534
Cost – FREE
I am on Escrow on this property in Palmdale/Lancaster – here are the details $80k purchase price – 25% down - $20,000 + $3,000 (the seller is paying for $1,500 of it) + $4,500 for closing costs – the monthly cash flow is $592.20 – $7,106.40/yr on a 15 year fixed mortgage & then you divide that by your down payment of $20,000 (the money out of your pocket it took to close the deal) + fix up costs (approximately $1,500) + $4,500 in closing costs, $26,000 in total costs out of pocket - & get this your rate of return on your money (we call it the cash on cash return – in other words, if you put the $ in the bank what interest rate are you getting?) In this case it is 27.33% on a 15 year fixed mortgage @ 5%. That is incredible. Generally speaking, the CAP rates on Commercial properties are in the 7's in good areas in Southern California. This is 27%+ on a 15 year fixed mortgage. Now, granted we are comparing the cash on cash to the CAP rate, I understand, these are just incredible deals, no matter how you look at it.
Now let's say you decide to take the $592.20/month of positive cash flow & use that to just pay down the principal. Do you realize that your home will be paid off in 77 months (6 years, 5 months). Now I was talking to my father & here is what he said (he is a conservative CPA & successful Real Estate investor). "Well, it sounds too good to be true - outstanding investment & too good to be true – what is the rental market like?" Now, one of my clients has some rental property there & he says he gets plenty of calls within a week when he advertises his properties for rent – we can handle getting them rented for you as well). The only way to satisfy yourself is to go look at it yourself, so come with us this Sunday, November 8th! You can go to google maps (you can look at the neighborhood up & down the street – the only thing you can't do is look inside the house, however, we can get you pictures of the inside of the home from the multiple listing service or you can go drive there yourself – remember you can go see the property anytime you want with your Real Estate Agent before escrow closes – in fact the final walk thru inspection is 5 days prior to the close of escrow – fyi!!)
Come join us Saturday December 12th @ 2p for a FORECLOSURE TOUR you just won't want to miss!
Email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com & let me know if you would like to attend or not – thanks!

It would be nice to have a "Save As" option for design elements while editing them. There have been times when I have been in mid-development and I couldn't decide if I wanted to save the changes or discard them.
In theory... I could quickly jump to the design element listing and copy and paste the element in the designer but I think "Save As" is common in most applications.

Modified SPOT tracker that can run for months
Source:- http://www.gpss.force9.co.uk/autop.htm
Developer GPS Guided Trans-Atlantic Robot Boat has produced a control box to work with a SPOT v1 tracker to extend it's function to months. The unit was designed to track a trans Atlantic model boat but can be used in balloon missions. Robin, the designer from the UK said" We are doing 24/7 testing at a waypoint in the corner of Bray Lake on the boat. This is helping us solve basic problems like finding leaks and proving the total boat system, including solar panel based power systems, GPS-PICAXE-rudder servo autopilot, SPOT tracker, and the boat itself. The SPOT tracker enables us to monitor the boat from home – particularly if it runs aground. See the SPOT map for recent position reports.
On low left you see a very crude means of making the SPOT Messenger send regular position reports, currently every hour. A PICAXE based timer (on left) operates a servo to press the "OK" button on the SPOT to initiate a position report. The small loudspeaker is just for test – to play "Popeye the sailorman" just before transmission 🙂 A tidied up version of this SPOT tracker, was put in boat 8 for 24/7 tests on Bray Lake, until the SPOT Messenger eventually failed, after months of continuous operation. We now have a Mk2 version in the boat that does not need a servo. It has also been running for months.
My spot tracker is a self-contained sub-system. It breaks all the rules on what spot say you should do.e.g. I have Ni-Me rechargable AA cells each giving about 1.6v. In parallel with those I have 3 NiMH cells.Two 6v 80mA solar panels in parallel charging power. Picaxe off the same power as spot.This is NOT a proven solution, even though tested for months, so anyone would need to do their own experiments starting with a SPOT messenger (off ebay?) and £90/100Euro of air time."
We hope to get more details of the box design when Robin has more time.

Hi all,
I send a message because I have since months a noisy voltmeter after the total change of my electrical system. And I tried to resolved it without good evolution.
I have used the book of bob, and it's the Z19 electrical diagram or very close to.
I have 2 votmeters, one for main batterie and the other one for the aux bat 7amp/h bat. Set with one 2 way switch.
The both voltmeters are on the same place and the wire of each other are a wire harness. This wire harness pass below my VHF. And just the voltmeter 1 (Main system) is noisy. The other not. (pictures below)
My voltmeter 1 was set on the ESS bus bar after the diode. I tried to connect it before the diode. And in this case it's a bit (but still noisy) less noisy.
I have the noise a low level when I set voltmeter in ON and intercom ON, and when I set radio in ON the noise is higher.
In all case if I set my voltmeters in OFF no more noise.
Voltmeters switch ON but voltmeter 1 disconnected no noise...
Any idea ? Thank you

How is voltmeter 1 grounded? I suggest to NOT ground the voltmeter to the
airframe. Instead, twist the positive and negative wires together all of the way
from the voltmeter to the battery. At the switch, loop the ground wire around
the switch, then continue the twisted pair to the battery.
It's grounded on the ground bus were all my items are coming. Same ground like voltmeter 2.
I will try thank you
When you tell "loop wire around the switch" it's around the connection ?
Thank you.
No, I did not mean to connect the ground wire to the switch. What I meant was to run the positive and negative wires as a twisted pair all of the way from the source to the voltmeter (as much as possible). Try to avoid a single wire. If the wires are twisted together, radiated energy will be minimized.

Kevin Gates really doesn't get tired. Just hours after hitting us with his "Yayo" freestyle, the XXL Freshman decides to treat fans to the second "dope" freestyle of the night, this time over O.T. Genasis' popular street banger "Coco".
Leaving the hard-hittin production intact, Gates delivers another banger for the streets that's highlighted by his rapid fire flow and hard-ass lyrics. He's the latest of many artists to have tackled this instrumental, following in the steps of Ludacris, K Camp, Troy Ave, Riff Raff, and more.
Take a listen and let us know how it compares to the other versions? Be sure you don't sleep on his latest project, Luca Brasi 2.
Quotable Lyrics:
Lingo, she like the way that I be talkin'
Six cell phones, Im like who the fuck is calling?


text: I have been in Holland for a week now, in a couple of days I will be flying back home. I had a very productive week, although my head was spinning after all the meetings that I had in its first half. The project that I am working on has to do with foreign aid to both Palestinians and Israelis, and one of my personal conclusions of this week is this: while the two peoples will probably be unable to reach some kind of way out of the current mess all by themselves, in more than one way they might have been better off without the help of some of their so-called supporters. Outside help is vital, but much of it appears to serve the cause of the givers and distributors rather than that of ordinary Palestinians and/or Israelis. That does not mean, though, that there aren't many people here - and probably in other countries as well, either privately or on a more organized, (semi)official level - who are genuinely concerned about the well-being of one or both of the two peoples, and who make sincere efforts to bring about a more peaceful future for Palestine and Israel. One of the things that these people have in common is the fact that they realize that the basis for such a future must be found among Israelis and Palestinians themselves.
