TV Evil: Through The Glass Darkly
"I am gross and perverted, I am obsessed and deranged, I have existed for years but very little has changed, I am the tool of the government and industry too for I was destined to rule and regulate you…I'm the slime oozing out of your tv set"
Thus began the dumbing down:
Children became more violent and dysfunctional.
Freak shows like Morton Downey and Jerry Springer drew mass audiences while pandering to deviates who would see their sorry lives displayed for public amusement.
Today more people vote on cheese talent shows like American Idol than in most elections.
Television also creates insecurity and mental illness, viewers of too much television are often unable to make the differentiation between fantasy and reality, look at the rise in school shootings and generally deviant violent behavior. They live vicariously through the imagery designed to sell them caricatures of a lifestyle that they in turn believe that must be lived up to in order to be 'normal'. The barrage of imagery as well as its calculated usage to influence the psyche by those whose craft is manipulation has a devastating effect on Americans. The inability to detach oneself from television worlds breeds violence, insecurity, greed and other such undesirable behavior. This is especially true for children who are very impressionable, there are highly paid marketing firms who specialize in trying to get the products and or ideas of those who pay them seared into the minds of kids from the earliest age possible in order to create lifetime customers. Is this evil? If not outright evil it is certainly devoid of any sort of decent ethical principle but then again isn't this exactly the sort of deviant behavior that unchecked capitalism is intended to produce?
Will there be a time when television fantasy, physical reality and dreams become indistinguishable to some? Is that time already here? The psychological dependence on television to create identity and loyalty should be a national shame. Generations that have been born into the cable television era have become more violent, more superficial, more unquestioning and most importantly, far dumber than those who were their predecessors.
The rise to power of the evil regime of Hitler was borne on the wings of massive public rallies, fantastic gatherings steeped in the power of nationalism, symbolism, fire, resentment and demagogic ravings of destiny. The most famous of the state sponsored bacchanalia being the 1934 Nuremberg rally, meticulously choreographed and captured on film by Leni Riefenstahl, Triumph of the Will would become the benchmark for all German propaganda. The national madness of the German people can be seen in these rallies and films, the unraveling and descent of a sophisticated society into primal and pure evil was facilitated by them.
With television there is no need for mass rallies, the demagoguery and imagery can be delivered directly into your very own living room.
ooh daddy….give me a hit of that e-crack…ain't never comin' back!

Program Highlights
A Personalized Approach
Opportunities in nutrition are broad and abundant, and the faculty and staff of La Salle's Nutrition programs, work with every student to help them achieve their goals and get them where they want to go—whether it's a job in a health-care setting, in a public health agency, in business and media, or in education and research.
Professional Networking
Through the program's links to regional and national organizations in dietetics and nutrition, students interact with professionals working in the field who can offer guidance and encouragement. As a result of these interactions, many organizations seek out La Salle students to hire for full-time positions.
Theory to Practice
Philadelphia offers a wealth of options to match any student's interests and to allow them to apply what they've learned in the classroom. In recent years, many La Salle students have gained professional experience through internships and jobs at varied city agencies and organizations, including clinical settings such as Albert Einstein Healthcare Network to community settings such as Penn State Extension, which provides nutrition education programs for at-risk populations, and Manna, a home-delivered meal and nutrition-counseling service for people with chronic diseases who cannot leave their homes.

Today will be tough. There will be laughter. There will be cake. Campbell Live is famous for cake. We are the only people in the world who lose weight on Christmas holidays. But behind it all, I don't think everyone has quite confronted the reality that this is indeed the last programme we will make together as a team. Only last week the news was delivered that the show would not go on. Originally, the intention was for everything to tick along for another six-to-eight weeks while a replacement was readied. But it soon became evident that wasn't going to work. The simple reason being these people, who I am privileged to call my colleagues, are totally incapable of making anything in a half-hearted fashion.
So to all of you who have watched over Campbell Live's ten year span – but particularly in the last month of so – thank you. You have made a huge difference to us on these difficult days. Being under review was grueling. It meant we essentially became an independent republic within Mediaworks smack bang in the middle of prime time. Every morning the ratings would come out. To us nothing short of being number one was good enough and there we were, day-after-day. On these mornings, there would be a brief celebration, hugs all round and then the team would gather themselves again to once more try to 'knock it out of the park.' We beat X Factor one night by 100,000 viewers and came within two thousand of out-rating the series final, once the numbers watching on the +1 channel were taken into account. Dan Parker produced a spell binding story at the gates of Gloriavale on Anzac Day – shot by Billy Weepu – which attracted a huge audience of 419,000 viewers. Hundreds marched on TV3 to oppose us being shut down. It was surreal. TV- this medium, that's supposed to be disposable – that many are often so cynical about could get people to do that. This great wave of love lapped up onto the steps of Flower St. We went out on that afternoon to dip our feet in it – and returned to work warmed by the knowledge it was there. None of us will forget that
To JC – you're the best. The most complete broadcaster the country has produced; the best interviewer, the best storyteller, the best presenter, the best journalist on TV. No one knows that five minutes before the live show from the flooded Flockton Basin in Christchurch last year, he was in a cul-de-sac still negotiating the way to the location. Just moments to airtime the ear piece went in, the mic was picked up, before the most flawless half hour of television was delivered with no autocue, standing knee deep in water. That is the broadcaster's art, to make it all look effortless so everyone else can cleanly and clearly articulate their message and for that message to be heard by those who need to hear it. Supreme technical skill aside, it is John Campbell's values that are woven into the programme that the audience is saying they will miss most when the final Ka Kite Ano is delivered tonight.
There are two types of television. There's the one that panders to the perceived prejudices of the audience. This is easy to make, instantly creating headlines and galvanizing an audience that will switch on just to hear its view of the world parroted back. The weakness of operating this way will only be obvious to those it leaves out in the cold. The much tougher path is to challenge viewers to question their assumptions and to challenge the powerful, after all isn't that what the job of journalism is supposed to be about? So thank you, John, for early in your career committing to showing the country in all of its shades of grey, but still with great verve and optimism for the future.
One of the things everyone knows about JC is that he is unfailingly polite; polite sometimes to the point of parody. It might seem like something small, but it is actually the outward expression of something greater, and the message I will be taking from my short time working on the show: kindness has power. It's not money, it's not a clenched fist, it's not an earthquake or a force of nature. But it has its own quiet influence, that if applied consistently day-upon-day can do great things. If we allow ourselves to see our fate as being connected to that of the person next to us we do not just make our community better, we make ourselves better. I acknowledge these are strange words to be writing about a TV star and a show made by a commercial broadcaster in a dog-eat-dog world. But to put it another way, compassion, intelligence and thoughtfulness is where the gap in the market is.
When put like that today feels more and more like the start of something, it really does….

Mission & Vision
"Our partnership with the Leadership Academy is helping us become a culturally-competent district equipped to meet the needs of our increasingly diverse student population."
Mission: We build the capacity of educational leaders, at every level of the system, to confront inequities and create the conditions necessary for all students to thrive.
Vision: We envision a nation where every school and school system is led by transformational leaders who prepare all children, especially the traditionally underserved, for success.
Leadership Academy's History
The Leadership Academy started in 2003 with our groundbreaking, research-based Aspiring Principals Program, which trained more than 550 principals, most of them women and leaders of color, who have served in some of New York City's most challenging schools.
Seeing our initial success in New York City, school systems across the country began approaching us to help them develop leadership pipelines and strengthen leader practices.
We now have worked with more than 185 school systems and educational organizations across 35 states and Washington, D.C., and we continue to expand our reach. As we engage with so many diverse communities, our own work continuously strengthens while our mission remains constant: to develop great leaders who can lead great schools by confronting inequities.

We all want to experience a stable, happy life; all the unpredictabilities, hardships and miseries are what fate brings to us beyond expectation. Yet, after many years living peacefully with his wife and children in a rustic life, my uncle Hai left his house to start living a swashbuckler's life.
His wife guessed her husband wanted to go with some rice sellers. She felt worried about it as in her eyes, these rice sellers were not good men. Once my uncle Hai complained:
"I'm so sad"
"You see, we work our fingers to the bone all year round without having a day off. So how can we change our lives?"
"Can't we?"
"If we have a life similar to Mr Nam's, the rice seller, it would be good" - Uncle Hai said to his wife.
His wife listened to him with discontentment. The guy Nam, the rice seller, had a real name of Nam Meo. He wore better clothes and was a spend thrift. In her eyes, he was a tricky and debauched man. Even though he had two or three wives, he could flirt with any girl he encountered. Upon hearing that her husband wished to be like Nam Meo, she said in an angry voice:
"You are very different from him. If you want to be like him, do follow him. I don't care!"
Yet, having seen her husband going with Nam Meo, she said, crying:
"I said it because I did not want him to go. To my surprise, he has gone with him anyway!
Then she ran quickly to the river and looked toward the boat landing where Nam Meo used to dock his boat. It was deserted there. Nam Meo's boat had been gone for quite a time. They should have gone for quite a distance.
"Your father had sold rice to have money and gone with that guy Nam Meo, you know!" - She said to her children. Her neighbours came and consoled her:
"Mr Hai has followed Nam Meo, not followed any girl, so don't worry, please! He'll be back in a few days"
"If he follows Nam Meo, he will follow some girl one day! Oh, good heavens! Such an old man is having an Indian summer, you see!"
"Mr Hai returned home after such a trip with Nam Meo after two days and one night. He brought home a new black felt hat and said it was for his son Thang and a pair of plastic shoes for her youngest daughter.
"Where did you go?" - His wife asked
"Just to go and enjoy the view of Sai Gon!"
"Why don't you say anything to me?"
"Do you think I could go easily if I said it to you?"
She heaved a deep sigh as if she were releasing all her worries from her heart when her husband was away from home without any trace for two days. For her, his being home was nothing but good for her. His son Thang and some of us tried to learn about his trip. We all wanted to know what he had done in two days. In the end of the day, uncle Hai had let the cat out of the bag when his wife was not at home. Everything began in an afternoon….
He was a farmer. His hands were full all day. Yet, one afternoon, he had nothing to do. He sat there alone, looking into the river at those green duckweeds floating past. Suddenly he thought about human life, which was like those duckweeds that drifted to nowhere in this world. He looked at himself, thinking he had lived in this land almost his whole life and the farthest place he had gone was the district town. So he wished he could see more things in a faraway land and he thought about Nam Meo and his boat. They had talked in secret about something. And at two o'clock in the morning, Uncle Hai had gone with Nam Meo on his boat.
To our surprise, we wondered why such an old man as Uncle Hai could aspire to go and discover something new. He had sold forty bushels of rice for the trip to Sai Gon. It was a special event in his life. We were so eager to listen to his story. Uncle Hai began.
"You know, Nam Meo is a crook!"
"He told me that he had a wife, an owner of a beer house in Sai Gon. He said to me that he would take me there. When the boat was racing on the river, it stopped in the middle. I thought there was something wrong with the machine. I intended to get up and see what happened when I heard a female voice. It seemed to me that the woman was in another small boat that was getting closer to his boat. Then the woman said: "You planned to go for several days in those dirty clothes, didn't you?" "Look, the money is in that pocket, be careful, or it will drop". The woman kept silent upon hearing the money. After that Nam Meo restarted the boat and they went on. After a few more hours, he again docked the boat and sent some dirty clothes and money to another woman. Then he went again, smiling:
'This money is for our return trip, you know!'
'Did you have any dirty clothes for your wife in Sai Gon?' - I asked.
He shook his head, saying with a deadpan face:
"The city women don't want to wash our clothes, so I have another 'miracle' for her!"
His son Thang interrupted his father, asking:
"What's the miracle, dad?"
"No, no need to know" - Uncle Hai said curtly.
Uncle Hai stopped there. We all dispersed for another occasion. Later I found out that all through his story, uncle Hai did not touch anything about Sai Gon, as if he had never been there. I thought he wanted to keep it for himself. From then on, I tried to read Uncle Hai's mind.
My house was a garden away from Uncle Hai's. We lived on the same patch of land left behind by our grandfather. I found that sometimes Uncle Hai looked toward the river in deep thought. I was on tenterhooks, because Uncle Hai could make another swashbuckler's trip! I wonder if his wife could bear it when he did it. As a relative of his, I was really worried about it.
One day, when we were transplanting the rice plants, I ventured to ask him:
"Uncle Hai, do you plan to go to Sai Gon again?"
"That's enough, isn't it?"
"I did not know what Sai Gon was like then"
"So…. Where did you go then?"
"To…. Sai Gon!"
Having seen my surprise, Uncle Hai burst out laughing. When we took a rest, Uncle Hai told me not to say it to anyone and he revealed the secret.
"…. The boat arrived in Sai Gon that afternoon. Nam Meo took me to his food shop which looked neglected. It was near the river side. The shop served only truck drivers, boat owners and the like. But it had bathrooms, and even lodging rooms for overnight boarders. Having had a bath, Nam Meo took me to a table:
"Let's have some drinks before my wife comes to say 'Hello' to you"
"All right!"
"…. I saw a young girl, of my son Thang's age, amid those heavily made-up girls. The girl stood in the corner of the kitchen. I asked Nam Meo who that girl was and he said that she was a helping hand for his wife. It seemed to me that the girl looked sad. Nam Meo told me that she was from the countryside and her parents were very poor. A few months before, her mother fell ill and could not afford money to buy medicine and they borrowed money from Nam Meo. Then they could not pay him, so they had to send their daughter to work for him as a housemaid.
I thought hard over it. Such a human fate! Among us peasants, there were also a lot of poor peasants. Then I thought Sai Gon looked so magnificent, but it also had the rich and the poor living in it. It was so sad! I sat there, drinking a lot of alcohol with Nam Meo until it got dark without notice. Then Nam Meo said he was tired and wanted to go to bed early. His wife came to meet me and said that there was a room for me. I went to the room, but could not sleep.
"And what happened, uncle?"
"I lay there until midnight. All of a sudden, I heard noises outside and a girl was crying. I got out of the room and saw that girl sitting there, crying, and the shop was closed. I signaled her to the table and asked her the reason why. It turned out that some guy had got into her room and wanted to deflower her. But she was able to run away. I asked her why she did not scream. She said the owner did not allow her to shout, or she would reduce her pay. This had happened to her many times.
'Why don't run away to your home village?' - I asked.
'But uncle Nam knows my house. If I do that, he will come and demand the debt my parents own him. So I try to bear it until we can pay him all the debt'
Then I told the girl to keep calm and I would think of a way to help her. That night I sat in the middle of the shop and waited for daybreak. In the morning, siting over a cup of coffee with Nam Meo, I told him that I wanted to redeem the girl.
'Which girl, brother Hai?'
'The housemaid'
'Is it that girl Thom?'
'Yes, it's she!'
Then I told him what had happened the night before Nam Meo said:
'Let me tell my wife to rearrange another room for the girl. You should keep your money for the fun and fair here'
'I don't want to have any amusement now! I want to help the girl and then I will go back to my village'
After a few moments, Nam Meo called Thom to see him.
'Uncle Hai wants to pay your debt, so do you want to go back to your village?'
'Yes, I do!'
Fortunately I had enough money to pay him to redeem the girl. After that Thom and I took a tri-shaw to the bus station. I gave some more money for her to go back to her home village.
On the way home, I thought that if I saved Thom, that guy Nam Meo could get another girl and things would happen again. Life in this world was very difficult and many other girls from poor rural areas had to go to the cities to earn money by selling their bodies. I was trembling thinking about it!"
"Do you believe what I told you?" - Uncle Hai asked me.
Then Uncle Hai laughed aloud in confidence and satisfaction. I was certain that Uncle Hai was fully happy with what he had done. And I believed in what he had told me about his short journey.

License compatibility
Each Jira application you install must have a unique license. There are various license types available. Some of these license types are incompatible with each other. If you try to install incompatible license types, Jira will present you with an error. To resolve this, you should select compatible license types, obtain them and install them. You should make sure you remove the incompatible license type first.
You can manage your Jira licenses on the Versions & licenses page.
Commercial licenses
A commercial license is a paid license that allows you to run a Jira application and add users.
- All commercial licenses will work with each other if you have more than one Jira application installed.
- You can mix commercial licenses with evaluation licenses.
- You cannot mix commercial licenses with other license types (e.g. Data Center or Academic licenses).
Data Center licenses
Data Center is a deployment option providing high availability and performance at scale for your Jira applications.
- If you have installed a Data Center license for an application and configured the application for Data Center, all subsequent licenses must be Data Center licenses.
- If you have any other type of license and want to install a Data Center license, this can be done.
- If you have more than one Jira application, and you want to set them up for Data Center, all the applications must have Data Center licenses. You cannot mix a Data Center license with any other type.
Evaluation licenses
An evaluation (or "trial") license lets you try the full functionality of a Jira application for a fixed period of time (typically 30 days). When the trial ends, the application stops functioning until you install a paid license.
Unpaid licenses
Unpaid licenses are available for evaluators, not for profit organizations, charities and students.
- All unpaid licenses will work with each other if you have more than one Jira application installed.
- You cannot mix unpaid licenses with commercial (paid) licenses when you have more than one Jira application installed.

How to Listen to YouTube Playlists in the Background on Your iPhone
If YouTube is your go-to for listening to music, you have to upgrade to the site's premium service — YouTube Red — if you want to play videos in the background on your phone. Is YouTube Red worth the money Is YouTube Premium Worth the Cost? 7 Things You Need to Consider Is YouTube Premium's cost worth it? We look into the pros and cons of YouTube's paid version. Read More ? For some. But if you're looking for a free alternative, know that one exists.
With iPhone app Songstream, you can stick with the free version of YouTube and multitask on your phone while playing YouTube music playlists in the background.
The Songstream app is divided into three tabs. The first, a search tab, is broken down into three columns: a list of trending songs on YouTube, a queue to which you can easily add songs, and your listening history. In the second tab, you can create your own playlists, and in the third tab, you can again access the YouTube trending songs as well as Songstream playlists.
Songstream's interface is pretty basic, and is somewhat redundant, with the trending songs showing up in more than one place. It's also not entirely obvious where the Now Playing tab is at first. If you start playing a song, and return to the search or playlist tabs, you can get back to the Now Playing tab with your controls by tapping the animated spectrum in the top right-hand corner.
Songstream really sets itself apart by giving users background audio playback and lock screen playback controls. The app also has all the basic features you would expect from a music app — shuffle and repeat — as well as the ability to follow and listen to public playlists.
For those of you concerned about data usage, in the app settings, you can choose from three playback settings: low for 3G connections, medium for 4G and LTE, or high for Wi-Fi connections.
What do you think of Songstream? Let us know in the comments.

Youth Camp is in full swing. I have had the opportunity to check out two camps. Youth Camp is extremely important to me. I grew up going to youth camp, and I have directed a youth camp for several years as well. I have seen many come to know Jesus at youth camp, make life change decisions in their Spiritual life, and many called to serve God full-time vocationally. Over the last several years, I have noticed a decline across the board in youth camp. I hear "it is too expensive" or "We are too busy." I respect and understand many of these although we do many fund-raisers as well as schedule the event super early. I want to share 5 reasons why this would be a good idea for your kids.
- Youth Camp is built on the Bible– This is obviously the most important reason camp is so important. Your kid will be sitting under Bible preaching during the week. It will be Biblical and practical to make the students change and become more like Jesus. What parent would not want this to happen in their kids?
- Youth Camp is relational– Some of the best friendships are made and strengthened at youth camp. Camp brings youth groups closer together.
- Youth Camp allows students to get to know their youth pastor/leader better– I believe that relationships between youth leaders and students are strengthened at youth camp.
- Youth Camp allows students to get away– Students get away from the norm, their comfort zone, their phones (some camps), and their technology. This never hurts anyone. It is good for them to get away and get out to do some recreation.
- Youth Camp is FUN– Let's face it, one of the most fun weeks of the entire week is youth camp week. It is awesome. It is the most exciting, energetic, and exciting week of the year.
If you are not encouraging your student to go to camp, I encourage you to change that. Camp reaps eternal benefits, and camp has a potential to change the life of your teenager.

1. The keyboard shortcuts would work OK if I was a left handed mouse user, but... I'm right handed, so the keyboard shortcuts and mouse are both right hand operations, forcing me to move my hand between the two, or cross over awkwardly. The main gotcha for me is being able to scroll through the source images with the PageUp/PageDn keys. I can't do it comfortably without taking my hand off the mouse in Helicon. Since this is a frequent operation, it is quite inefficient. In Zerene, more functionality is given to the mouse, with modification by the shift and 'S' key. This is great for right handed use, because you don't have to take your hand off either mouse or keyboard during the retouch process. Specifically, Zerene maps this way during retouch:
- Scroll wheel with no modifier: sets brush size
Scroll wheel with Shift key: scrolls through stack for source image
Scroll wheel with Space bar: zoom in/out
S: show current source frame instead of destination (maybe less useful since Helicon previews source inside the brush)
Scroll wheel with S and Shift: show source as you scroll through stack
If you could allow remapping of the keyboard/mouse shortcuts like many apps do, that would probably be the easiest way to make it easier for Zerene people to migrate to Helicon. This would reduce the re-learning curve significantly and would allow both people who are right and left handed to work more naturally.
3. Retouch mode uses less than half of the screen to show the retouching image. My main monitor is 30" and it I'm still finding the image to be frustratingly small. I agree that it is nice to have the source image avaiable to see, but for me, it is better to see the destination image as large as possible. Ideally, Helicon would allow use of a second monitor for the source image and/or other UI, but this doesn't seem possible right now, and I expect it would be a significant development task. If that is a no-go, can you give a way to allow full screen or most of the screen for the image and give a keystroke to shift between source and destination as Zerene does?
I'm not saying you should duplicate Zerene, but they are doing some things right that would be a benefit to your users (well, me anyway.)
I do intend to purchase a license when my free period expires since I really like the direction you have taken with this product!

Sellers found a decent support at 6200. Buyers defended this area and the price bounced from the level on every attempt to the downside on Monday. The selling pressure increased in the night and the coin dropped to the 6000. The EMA50 and the EMA100 are going south. The EMA50 is crossing the EMA200 downwards. The EMA200 is still neutral. MACD is growing in the negative area. RSI is stable in the oversold territory. The resistance stands at 6300, the support is at 6000.
A failure to regain the 6200 level may increase a positive bias in the market. In this potential scenario buyers could recover above 6600.

I will be speaking at a conference for Norwegian Librarians thursday November 10th. The topic is Myter, misforståelser og moro med dataspill - "Myths, misunderstanding and fun with computer games" - and I'll talk about media panics, the current state of research and the player experience in online multi user games. And I am certain I will be showing scenes from WOW.
But I am starting to feel I should play more online games. Perhaps WOW will work like that on more people, and be a locomotive to pull new groups into online gaming? That would be fun, and the opposite of the muttered concerns that WOW is bad for the industry because it takes all the potential customers. That, however, is not on the agenda for Trondheim.

Review of the album Basta Mafia! from the band Zdob si Zdub:
Hello and welcome to my review of the album Basta Mafia! from Zdob si Zdub. I hope my English skills didn't decrease much so that you can understand most of the text.
Firstly, I want to say that I'm a huge fan of this crazy band for around 6-7 years now and I know every song of them and almost every video on youtube which features them.
I was highly anticipating the new album until So Lucky was presented on the Eurovision Homepage of Moldova. My first impression of So Lucky wasn't very good, I thought the song wouldn't fit the Zdubiis usual kind of music. But as Eurovision came nearer, the song grew on me and I had to say the performance of this song during the finals left me with a big grin. Since Eurovision 2005, the drummer and the guitarist have changed, the entire band changed it's style, but what I saw and heard was still Zdob si Zdub. So Lucky became my favorite song in 2011. But I still feared that the new album could become a disappointment. Changing their style and surprising their fans is one of Zdob si Zdubs trademarks, but I couldn't imagine a style that could capture the spirit of the band better than their wild and energetic mixture of punk, folk-music and rap, which was heavily featured on the last albums since 450 de oi, while Hardcore Moldovenesc was pure hardrock and Tabara Noastra and Agroromantica showed us the first infusions with the folklore music of moldova and russia.
Now I'm holding the CD in my hands and I will go through every song, pointing out what's good and what's bad in my opinion. I will rate it with 1 to 5 points out of 5 and in the end the whole album will get a score from 1 to 5 points. The final score will depend on the average score of all the albums songs as well as some general thoughts and feelings about the album.
Well, I've talked enough off-topic-non-sense-stuff, so let's go:
1.) Basta Mafia:
The opener of the album with the same title, Basta Mafia is an atmospheric ska-composition, a strange combo of the wild "normal" Zdob si Zdub-style and some sort of country music. Roman points out what he's thinking of the mafia ("Run them out!"). A song called Jos Mafia, sounding similar to this song, found it's way to the internet in 2009. The older version was sung in romanian
and sounded more like the old Zdubiis. Both versions have their advantages, but this song is very good, so I'll give it a 4/5.
2.) Running:
Hmm. At first I was like: "What the hell is this???" But after listening to it for a few times, I start to like it. Its about Roman running towards a better future, leaving behind a painful (or at least "not-so-good") past. It's a positive and funny song (maybe the funny part wasn't meant to be funny, but I like the exaggerated, "epic" end ;) ), but I can't give it 5 points, because there's a tiny thing I'm missing: Their full energy. It seems like they're holding back a bit. 4/5.
3.) Eternal Kiss:
Strange song. Sounds a bit like 80's pop-rock, which is cool, but the lyrics confuse me. Is he talking about a vampire-girl or what? All the talking about death and stuff at the end is a bit weird, but the "dui-dui-dui"-parts are cool :) I'm not sure about rating this song after listening to it for about 6 times straight, so it'll be a 3.5/5 for now.
4.) Gipsy Life:
Oh yeah. Old school rock'n'roll, funny and cool. What city, what country? Doesn't matter Roman, you and your friends are welcome everywhere in the world :) But as cool as this song is, it's a pity that it's a bit too long and that it needs about 1000 years until it finally begins to rock. So I'll "only" give it 4.5/5.
5.) We are free:
Err… What do you still feel? I thought I'd understand more of your texts when you're singing in english, but it seems like I still don't get anyting :D. The song is very melodic with all the piano-stuff and the girl with her "uuuuuhuuuhuuuhhuuu" in the background (yeah, you know what I'm talking about after this fantastic explanation :D) It sounds good and even a bit catchy, but it's not my favorite kind of music. Hmm. I think 3/5 will do.
6.) Maria:
Very cute and sad. It's strange… It's good but I don't want to listen to it too often, because it's so touching… This is unfair, but I'll just give it 3.5 out of 5 because of my taste of music and not because of the quality of this song (I don't like songs which are just about tears and sadness and stuff… Some professional reviewer would probably give it more though).
7.) Haiduk:
The first of the two songs sung in romanian. Excellent work, Roman is great in this one and the backgroundmusic is subtle, but fitting. I don't understand a word, but it seems to be about an outlaw or freedom fighter in the balkans… Anyway, I like it and give it 4/5 (at this point though, I hoped the album would come up with a few faster songs…)
8.) Trece vremea omului:
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! Give me a simple rock'n'roll-beat, add some exotic ethnic instruments and shout "Hai-la! Hai-la!" and you're making me happy. Outstanding. One of the best songs of this album. I love it. Especially because this times it sounds a bit more oriental. Oh my god, I want to see this performed live when I'm going to see them in Cologne!!! 5 out of freaking 5!
9.) Nistru:
Aww… listening to Nistru means we're through with Trece vremea omului. I have to admit I don't like this song very much. I was all hyped after Trece vremea and hoped for another song of equivalent energy and fun, but then the sad stuff started again. Only good thing about this song is the brass stuff in the end. 2/5.
10.) Good bye:
Well, this song is better than the last one, melodic and sweet, but what's about the rapping woman in the end? This part messes the song up a bit… But the rest is done well. 3/5.
It seems that the album is starting to get better every song since Nistru. The intro is funny :) The beat is catchy, the lyrics don't make much sense, so far I'm happy with this song! It's a bit too long and I don't like the chorus very much (Do I get this right? It sounds a bit arrogant, this whole "I am the king, everything is my plaything" stuff…), but overall it's a solid song. I'm still not sure if the title (Fresh, Sexy, Spicy, Organic) is really fitting... 3.5/5
12.) The holy fuel:
Ahh. Pleasing. The Zdubiis can make as much social criticism as they want (by the way they're really good at this) as long as the background music is like this :) Totally loved it since it was presented under the name Moldovenii s-au nascut. The Romanian (live)version was slightly better in my opinion but I still have to give it 5/5. And Roman is totally right, as long as we got fuel, everything is "alright"…
13.) So Lucky:
Well, here we are. The end of the album. I'm SO LUCKY I bought it :) I think I don't have to say much about this monster of a song. 5 out of 5. Crazy song, cool story (a bad guy becoming a good guy because he's crazy for a woman out of his reach) and their performance last year on Eurovision was astonishing… It's a pity there aren't much songs with that much energy on Basta Mafia! …
Okay, so far, so good. We got 13 Songs with an average score of about 3.8 out of 5. That's a great score for an album released in 2012, regarding all the garbage that was published in 2011… And it's possible that no album coming out this year will please me as much as this (I'm almost sure about this) BUT I have to decrease the score a little bit. After listening to the whole album, I feel a bit sad because of the general atmosphere created by most of the songs. They're sometimes almost depressive and I don't think that's the kind of music such a bunch of happy guys should play. Well, at least they always made us happy with their positive, energetic songs :) And this kind of music is very rare on Basta Mafia! So I'll have to give the album a 3.5 out of 5. I know it's not fair but I'm just writing what I'm thinking/feeling.
I think I understand what they were doing, leaving their roots and trying to inject their musical skills into the more western-kind-of pop rock music to show us western Europeans that their capable of playing this kind of music as well as we do. And I can ensure you, they do a better job than most of us western Europeans. However, this album didn't tap their full potential. I think they know that, but I had to say it.
Roman, Mihai, Sveatoslav, Andrei, Victor and Mazilu:
You're highly skilled, charismatic musicians and entertainers. I love you and every artist who was in this band in the past for making such an great amount of fantastic songs and for your energetic and wild performances. The music business needs guys like you. You don't sell yourself, you're doing what you are wanting to do. And I admire you for this. Your new album is beautiful, it's a bit too dramatic in my opinion and doesn't fit you as well as your previous works, but it's really good music nonetheless. It would be nice if your next stuff would be as crazy and powerful as your older albums, but in the end it doesn't really matter. Just go on doing what you want to do. My ears will follow and very likely my heart will, too, since it's doing so since I saw your performance of Boonika Bate Doba on Eurovision back in 2005.

Bitter Sweet Symphony, the lead single off The Verve's Urban Hymns album, is what I consider to be one of the greatest songs of all time. If I had to pick one song to listen to for the rest of my life, this song will be my top pick. It doesn't get old. It was released on the 16th of June, 1997 and was nominated for a Grammy award.
I only recently discovered that The Verve made no money from this song because they plagiarized the Andrew Oldham Orchestra's version of The Rollin Stone's song, 'The Last Time'. When I first found out, I was a peeved at The Verve. After doing some research, I changed my mind.
The Last Time actually sounds nothing like 'Bitter Sweet Symphony'. I am not a fan of this song.
The Verve managed to get the rights to use the sample of the orchestra version but used a bit too much. Take a listen:
Wow, great song, but I still don't see how the Andrew Oldham Orchestra created this from 'The Last Time'. It does not have the same impact 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' has. The song lyrics of 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' were written by The Verve's vocalist Richard Ashcroft. Regardless, the band lost all rights to the song due to its popularity. "The Rolling Stones got greedy when the song became successful" (Superwells). This is where it's unjust. The Verve made the song their own and it is way better than the original. He wrote the lyrics! The Verve deserved fifty percent of the rights. At the Grammy Awards the nominees for the song were Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
Well, that's all in the past now. Let's all remember what a brilliant song The Verve revolutionized and the impact it left on this planet.
*Purchase their last album, which was released in 2008, titled "Fourth". The band has broken up and gotten back together so many times, I don't know if they're still together or not.

The movie-going experience in Oklahoma City has been kicked up a notch. While Tinsel Town theater is nice and Harkens has a huge movie screen, neither is as luxurious as the Warren Theater in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore. In fact, it may now be the second thing Moore is known for (the first being the biggest tornado magnet in the state—Moore has been wiped off the map more times than any other place in Oklahoma!).

Though the race lasts less than three minutes and fickle air masses threaten to dump rain on the event, seats at Saturday's Kentucky Derby are fetching as much, and in some cases much more, than seats on a cross-country flight.
With an average price of $446 on secondary markets—the world of StubHub and eBay, where purchased tickets are resold—admission to the Derby is more expensive than admission to nearly any other event in the country this month, according to data from SeatGeek, a ticketing aggregator and research site.
Of course, everything is relative. According to SeatGeek data, here's how the price of admission to "the greatest two minutes in sports" compares to that of other major events:
It's got nothing on the Super Bowl: The average secondary market ticket price for Super Bowl XLVI was $2,991—more than double the price of prime Derby seats.
NCAA tickets cost less: On the other hand, that average Derby ticket price ($446) is roughly $35 less than the price of an all-season ticket to the NCAA Final Four games between Kentucky and Louisville.
Only four May events cost more: The Derby ranks fourth in price among events for the month of May. The only events that promise to hit the pocketbook even harder are the Mayweather-Cotto boxing match Friday (average price $816) and two One Direction concerts at New York's Beacon Theatre May 26 (average prices $573 and $533).
There's a steep premium for visual access: Admission to the stadium doesn't guarantee a view of the action. In fact, the only ticketholders who will be able to watch the most critical moment of the mile-and-a-quarter race, are those seated just past the finish line. The price tag on the guaranteed line of vision is $1,250. Of course, the farther from the finish, the cheaper the seats. Spectators at the 3/16 pole, which is at the beginning of the homestretch, can expect to pay $352 for their seats and to do a lot of neck-craning to find out how their bets turned out.
There's no need to break the bank: If visual accessibility is not a priority, General Admission tickets are going for $56. This means ticketholders will have neither a seat nor visual access to the action. On the bright side, this option leaves extra cash for mint juleps and reckless betting.
Post time is 6:24 p.m ET, and NBC will provide full coverage of the 138th Kentucky Derby from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET.

I disdain exclusivity and privilege in a general sense, across the board
Cimarron club or Yellowstone club, maybe, at least the terrain walks the walk there. its still probably totally unnecessary. if you have the scratch to buy at those places, you have the scratch to travel all over the world to ski the best snow in the most luxurious accomodations. variety is the spice of life. and I bet revelstoke on a random Tuesday is pretty fuckin empty of other dirty members of the public. I'd much rather spend my (hypothetical) money hopping around from revelstoke, to japan, to Alaska, to chile in the summer, than having a $3mm home at one of those clubs.
hermitage is a status symbol for douchebags. I'm good on that.

Although the identification and characterisation of a participant's lateral profile during quiet standing have not received much research attention, they have the potential to greatly extend our understanding of upright stance stability control. This study further examines limb load asymmetries during quiet bipedal stance. During voluntary frontal-plane weight shifting for 2 min, 300 centre-of-pressure displacements on 14 blindfolded right-handed young adults were recorded. Four biomechanical indices were used to assess postural behaviour. These were the bias of time and the magnitude of the partial ground reaction forces from both legs, and the bias in the number and magnitude of microshifts influencing stability. Our study identifies a significant level of asymmetry in the quiet bipedal stance of right-handed people. This asymmetry is associated with the right-sided bias of the ground reaction force and the angle of inclination to the upright (vertical) centroidal line. We found that the initial lateralisation of the partial ground reaction forces from both feet, as well as the period of ground reaction force bias, are important elements in any clinical tests involving quiet bipedal stance.en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=GutnikBoris en-aut-sei=Gutnik en-aut-mei=Boris kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=LeaverJonathan en-aut-sei=Leaver en-aut-mei=Jonathan kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=StandenClive en-aut-sei=Standen en-aut-mei=Clive kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=LongleyChristopher en-aut-sei=Longley en-aut-mei=Christopher kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=School of Health Science, Unitec NZ affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=School of the Built Environment, Unitec NZ affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=School of Health Science, Unitec NZ affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=School of Health Science, Unitec NZ en-keyword=laterality kn-keyword=laterality en-keyword=asymmetry kn-keyword=asymmetry en-keyword=handedness kn-keyword=handedness en-keyword=stability kn-keyword=stability en-keyword=force kn-keyword=force END

A brush fire believed to have been started by a storm-related lightening strike earlier in the week in the Union Road area has been contained by the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.
Although the Forest Fire Service could not be reached for information, Vineland Fire Chief Robert Pagnini said Union Road has been closed from Mays Landing Road to Route 49 because of visibility problems related to smoke from the fire.
Pagnini said he spoke with Forest Fire personnel and they said they expected Union Road to be reopened sometime Friday afternoon.
About 25 acres are affected. Pagnini said the problem remaining is "turf fires," fires which burn underground in roots and organic matter and are very difficult to extinguish.
Brush fires remain a concern through the weekend and into next week, as temperatures continue to climb and rainfall is not expected. Temperatures are expected to reach nearly 100 degrees by early next week.

The influence that our nutrition and diet play on athletic performance aren't always as apparent as they should be, but it's there, either pushing you along with more energy, faster recovery, and a stronger immune system, or it's dragging you down, leaving you feeling haggard, tired, and sluggish.
In our battle to conquer our nutrition the easy way out is supplements. With pre-workouts, post-workouts, intra-workouts, and every sort of pill and powder imaginable designed to help cure all of our nutritional woes we hit them hard.
But in reality, eating clean will do more for you than all of the nutritional supplements in the world. And the first step in cleaning up your nutrition is starting a food journal.
Here's why.
1. You'll connect nutrition to performance.
We all know that we should be eating well. That we can be eating better. But how many of us actually stick to these lofty ambitions consistently? Part of the reason we are undisciplined in our approach is that we don't truly connect our nutrition and performance.
Writing out your meals in a food diary, as well as your subsequent workout routines, will leave you with a clear A-B connection between what you eat, and how well (or not) your workouts go.
2. You'll get a healthy dose of accountability with your nutrition.
For far too many of us we eat what we feel like, and not according to what we need in order to perform like champions in the gym, in the weight room, or in the pool. Instead, we eat according to our cravings, which you know, and I know, are not to be trusted.
Having to write out your meals in a food journal means you get honest about what you are shoveling into your mouth on the regular. You might be surprised to see that you are not eating nearly as well as you thought, or that you aren't drinking enough water (as athletes are rarely properly hydrated), or that you aren't even hitting your daily allotment of supplements.
Writing out your nutrition will force you to come to terms with what you are actually eating, which is essential if you want to maximize nutrition for performance.
3. You'll stick to the plan for longer.
Whether your goal is to lose some weight, gain some weight, or maintain, regularly using a food journal will help keep you on track. Research performed by Kaiser Permanente found that those who kept track of their nutrition lost twice as much weight as those who didn't use a log.
Self-monitoring has been shown over and over again to boost adherence, so spend a few extra minutes a day writing out your meals, and you'll find yourself more consistent with your nutrition, and your performance on the field.
The Food Journal: Your Secret Weapon for Athletic Success
It's funny how often I hear from athletes, young and old, who feel like they are doing all that they can in order to be successful in the water. They stretch religiously. Hit the foam roller after all their hard workouts. Even write out their workouts in a training journal. But when asked to show how well they truly eat, I tend to get sheepish smiles.
The food journal is cheap, takes a minimal amount of effort, and will produce a disproportionate amount of benefit on your performance for the time required to keep one.
Start by sitting down with a pen and paper after your next meal and food journal your way to better workouts, a healthier lifestyle (heard that's always good to have!), and more energy.Recommend0 recommendationsPublished in Member Blogs
