The Future Of Music Composition ? - Mastering Media Blog

The Future Of Music Composition ?

Get this widget!

How does realtime video collaboration with hundreds of contributors all around the world sound ? Could this be the future of music composition ?

Well, perhaps not quite yet, but it certainly made for an entertaining evening's viewing - and will continue to on future evenings, until the 24th of December.

I'm talking about the current Christmas Special run of internet show Rise and Shine TV -

"a live show, in which songwriters face the daily challenge of writing a song based on news and current events. The songwriters get to choose what song they are writing - but audience suggestions are always welcome. It’s a tough ask, writing an original topical song from scratch in under three hours, and we need all the help we can get."

This evening, Ben Walker (him what wrote The Twitter Song) got plenty of help from his live audience, via the Mogulus chat interface, as over the three hour running-time, the initial concept of a song called "Christmas Volcano" gradually morphed into soon-to-be-christmas-hit "Magma Lady" - click on the play button in the widget above to hear it yourself.

The brilliance of this concept only really becomes apparent when you watch the show itself and start to interact - Ben, admirably simultaneously wielding guitar, keyboard and macbook while fielding comments and writing a song, would pause in mid sentence and mutter something like "a name, he needs a name", at which point suggestions would come flooding in, (along with links to Wikipedia articles on volcanoes) and you just can't help chipping in yourself.

It's addictive stuff, remarkably slick, and very high-tech - the show's producer Dean Whitbread (him what does John Cleese's podcasts) can choose to switch between multiple camera angles at the location, and also to himself or a live presenter - Christophe Delire, based (of course) in Belgium. Although, in pleasingly "live TV" fashion, nuts 'n' bolts are still in evidence - both Ben and Christophe received phone-calls while the show was on air. (Ben's was from his Mum, who may also be his manager. "Hi Mum, I'm live on the internet...")

My favourite chat suggestion of the evening was for the potential refrain "hot magma mama", which somehow got lost along the way, regrettably, along with my idea that the song's subject, a lonely geologist, would discover Santa's grotto while drilling for a magma chamber in Iceland. Or, at one point, Hawaii.

However, I did leave one indelible mark on the evening's proceedings - I contributed the geologist's name: Derek.

The show got a great reception, and I for one will be eagerly tuning in again tomorrow evening to see what lies in store, and I recommend you do, too. The shows start at 7pm GMT - Twitter users can follow @riseandshinetv for updates and a heads-up when the show starts. Meanwhile there is an archive of the first series of Rise and Shine's TV output here.

*Stop Press* Watch the show again here: (but it's not the same without the live chat ;-)

Fucked Up Album Preorder, Fuck Yeah Fest And Tour

Fucked Up’s second album, ‘The Chemistry Of Common Life,’ will be in stores on October 7. The record synthesizes their numerous musical directions into an expansive epic about the mysteries of birth, death, and the origins of life (and re-living). Merging elements of hardcore riffage with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds and vocals, (including 18 guitars on the first single, the fatalistic “No Epiphany”), the music remains iconoclastic and startling, with Pink Eyes’ vocals front and center. Guest musicians, of course, abound, notably gorgeous female voices such as Brooklyn’s Vivian Girls and Toronto’s Katie Stelmanis. The perspective is idiosyncratically scientific: amid soaring guitar chords, the title track pays homage to the random chemical processes that created life on this planet. Though Fucked Up remain punks at heart – if quixotically diverse ones – they have created a great, weird, heavy record that stubbornly sticks in your brain and your heart.

Track listing:

1. Son The Father
2. Magic Word
3. Golden Seal
4. Days Of Last
5. Crooked Head
6. No Epiphany
7. Black Albino Bones
8. Royal Swan
9. Twice Born
10. Looking For God
11. The Chemistry Of Common Life

Vinyl bonus track: The Peaceable Kingdom

Green St. Louis Machine

stephenritzMathews-Dickey has taken the lead as the backbone agency in bringing an evidence-based, Disney Channel recognized program from New York City to Saint Louis!

The club has partnered with local volunteers and award winning educator Stephen Ritz to create the Green St. Louis Machine Project at Mathews-Dickey, Grand Center Arts Academy, North Side Community School and Pamoja Academy.

Stephen Ritz, known for his Green Bronx Machine initiative, is a teacher and administrator who uses gardening, including aeroponic growing technology, Tower Garden®, to grow healthier, more engaged students in the South Bronx. This compact, state-of-the-art, vertical aeroponic growing system fits easily in the classroom. Instead of growing plants in traditional horizontal rows, the system grows plants vertically. With only so much land available to grow food, growing plants vertically makes sense for the Earth’s ever-growing human population. And, given growing water shortages, vertical aeroponic gardening makes sense, because it requires much less water than traditional growing methods. Plants grown aeroponically do not even need soil!

You can watch them sprout – follow them on social media @GreenSTLMachine on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!

Students from Grand Center Arts Academy, North Side Community School, Pamoja Academy and the Mathews-Dickey Swimming Program comprise the Green St. Louis Machine using the Next Generation Science Standards.

Each partner school received the start up kits from MDBGC and the founding donors at no charge (up to a $3,000 value). The project called Green St Louis Machine began in fall of 2015, with a media launch on October 5, 2015 and a Harvest event on November 16, 2015  where Ritz visited to welcome the students, educator and parents. Ritz visits St. Louis Green Machine and its affiliates for special events throughout the year. On August 27,  Ritz was honored with the Profit of the Year Award at the Martin Mathews Awards & Benefit Concert featuring Chaka Khan and El Debarge at the Fabulous Fo Theatre.

Does anyone know how to generate the ENI file (configuration file) using EtherCAT Configurator? I am working with Maxon EPOS3 slaves and have the device description file (ESI) and need the ENI file to start working with the xPC target applications.

Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Shenandoah National Park: Blackrock Summit (Blog Hike #468)

Trails: Trayfoot Mountain and Appalachian Trails
Hike Location: Shenandoah National Park, Blackrock Summit
Geographic Location: northeast of Waynesboro, VA
Length: 1.1 miles
Difficulty: 4/10 (Easy/Moderate)
Last Hiked: May 2014
Overview: A short climb to an impressive, rocky view.

Directions to the trailhead: The Blackrock Summit Parking Area is located on the west side of Skyline Drive at mile marker 84.8.  This mile marker is located 19 miles south of US 33 or 21 miles north of I-64.

The hike: My two visits to Shenandoah National Park have come 14 years apart.  On my first visit in April 2000, spring had arrived in the surrounding valleys but not on the mountain.  Most of the park’s facilities were still closed that time of year, and I drove Skyline Drive, the park’s famous view-filled scenic highway, in such a hurry that I finished the last few miles in complete darkness.
            My second visit came in May 2014 on a week-long hiking trip to Virginia.  At that time of year, the park featured more activity, but the summer crowds had not yet arrived in full force.  Ironically, although I lived in Virginia for almost 3 years in between these visits, I never came here while I was a Virginia resident.
            Whether you come on vacation or as a Virginia native, in the off-season or at the height of vacation season, a visit to Shenandoah National Park offers a special treat.  Established in 1935, the park is one of the oldest national parks in the east, and the many fine trails and buildings constructed by the depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) still serve park visitors well today.  Because the park is much longer than it is wide, most of the good loop hikes have short length.  I focused on the northern half of the park on my first visit, so on my second visit I focused on the southern half, starting with the short loop to Blackrock Summit described here.
Trailhead at Blackrock Summit parking area
            This hike starts on the Trayfoot Mountain Trail, which leaves the southeast corner of the parking area at an information board and yellow chain that blocks vehicle access.  As the chain and this trail’s wide path give away, this section of trail doubles as a fire road.  A few dirt waterbars have been installed in the trail to help reduce erosion.
            After 0.15 miles of moderate climbing on the fire road, you reach an intersection with the Appalachian Trail (AT).  A concrete post inscribed with the familiar AT symbol marks this intersection, which is also the beginning of the loop portion of this hike.  The loop is a little easier to hike counterclockwise, so this description will angle softly left here to enter southbound on the white-blazed AT.  The powder blue-blazed Trayfoot Mountain Trail exiting on the fire road at a hard angle left will be our return route.
Intersecting the AT
            For the next 0.25 miles the AT climbs gradually through high-elevation forest, which includes a few yellow birch trees.  At 0.4 miles, the trail curves right to enter a boulder field on the west side of Blackrock Summit.  A lot of hard work went into building this section of trail, as the grade and treadway stay nearly level despite the jagged Hampton quartzite rocks all around.  The black color of the rock is due to lichen called rock tripe that live on these rocks.  Outstanding views open to the west with the forested hills of Shenandoah National Park in the foreground, the cultivated fields of Shenandoah Valley in the middle ground, and the rugged Allegheny Mountains in the background.  Some other boulder fields can be seen on neighboring mountains.
Trail through boulder field

View to the northwest
            At 0.5 miles, where a connecting trail to Trayfoot Mountain exits downhill to the right, continue straight on the AT, soon leaving the boulders.  Ironically, the Blackrock Summit loop does not go to Blackrock Summit; you will need to scramble up the boulders to the left here if you want to obtain the actual summit.  At 0.6 miles, you reach an intersection with the Trayfoot Mountain Trail, marked by another concrete post.  Turn left to begin the return portion of this loop.
Returning on the fire road
            Still following the grassy fire road through stunted high-elevation forest, the Trayfoot Mountain Trail climbs moderately before leveling out at the highest point on this hike and then descending.  At 0.9 miles, you close the loop.  Angling right to stay on the fire road will retrace your steps 0.15 additional miles to complete the hike.  Alternatively, you can follow the AT downhill a short distance and cut cross-country to the parking area if retracing your steps seems too boring.

Liberty Mountain Trail System: Peak-2-Peak Trail (to Monogram) (Blog Hike #467)

Trail: Peak-2-Peak Trail (to Monogram)
Hike Location: Liberty Mountain Trail System
Geographic Location: southwest side of Lynchburg, VA
Length: 1.6 miles
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate)
Last Hiked: May 2014
Overview: A peak-hopping route to the LU monogram.

Directions to the trailhead: This hike starts at Liberty University’s Snowflex, which is located on Candler’s Mountain Road just south (up the mountain) of US 460.  Park in the gravel general parking area to the right as you enter.

The hike: If you were a university, what would you do with 5000 acres of forested, mountain land that is too steep for constructing buildings?  Build a trail system, of course.  At least, that is what Liberty University did…eventually.  Though the university was established in 1971, the trail system was not built until 2006.  The lightly worn pathways still have the feel and problems of a young trail system, but the potential for a great hiking and biking destination can be seen already.
            The trail system consists of two-track old logging roads and single-track newly constructed trails.  Over 50 miles of trails are open to hikers and mountain bikers during daylight hours.  As the system’s name suggests, some of these trails are quite steep, but others have only moderate elevation changes.  Also, the trails close to campus are quite popular, while the more remote trails are seldom-used.
            Obviously, many different routes are possible through the trail system.  Due to the expansive views it offers, the most popular destination is the gazebo atop the infamous (in some circles) LU monogram.  The best hiking route to the monogram has changed over the years due to construction on Liberty Mountain.  At the time of this writing, the shortest hike leading to the gazebo that avoids long stretches along the road is the one described here.
Start of Peak-2-Peak Trail beside Monogram Road
             Walk around the front of Snowflex, following black and white signs for the Monogram.  Pick up the Peak-2-Peak Trail where it starts beside a yellow vehicle gate to the right of gravel Monogram Road.  The trail heads through a recently graded area before entering the forest and beginning its climb to the first peak, the peak that features Snowflex.  True to its name, the Peak-2-Peak Trail traces three peaks, the third of which bears the monogram.
            At 0.2 miles, you reach a post marking the intersection of the Monorail and Peak-2-Peak Trails.  Although nothing about the sign would indicate such, you need to take the second trail going left here to stay on the Peak-2-Peak Trail.  Angling right will take you down the Dirty Ridge Trail, which circles the knob and heads south toward Camp Hydaway.  If you reach a hand-carved sign that says “Dirty Ridge,” you have missed this turn, as I did the first time.
Eastern box turtle on the trail
            The trail descends gradually to reach the south shoulder of Monogram Road at 0.3 miles.  Rather than crossing the road, the trail ducks back into the woods on the same side of the road where a couple of other trails exit right.  A trail sign reassures you that you are on the Peak-2-Peak Trail.  On my mid-May hike, some mountain laurel was in full bloom near this junction.
Mountain laurel in bloom
            After topping the second peak, which is considerably lower and more gradually sloped than the first one, you again come out on the south shoulder of Monogram Road, this time at a major trail intersection.  Champion Road and a couple of single-track trails exit right, while the dead-end Luge Trail exits left. (Parenthetical note: the Luge Trail was the best route to the monogram before its lower end was obliterated by construction.)  The Peak-2-Peak Trail again stays on the south side of Monogram Road as it begins the final push to the monogram.
Beginning the final climb to monogram
            The final 0.2 miles are the steepest of the hike, as the trail gains more than 200 feet of elevation over this segment.  Just before reaching the top, you get an interesting side view of the monogram, a view people who drive up here never get to see.  At 0.8 miles, you reach the gazebo atop the monogram and the best view on campus.  On a clear day you can see the entire campus in the foreground, the wooded Piedmont hills in the middleground, and the rugged Peaks of Otter in the background.  I came up here on a cloudy day, and the view was still excellent.  Also, there is an interpretive sign presented by Liberty University’s graduating class of 2010, the last class to have Jerry Falwell Sr. as Chancellor.
View from monogram
            The Peak-2-Peak Trail continues past the monogram, but there are no more fantastic views.  If you wish to explore deeper into the Liberty Mountain Trail System, make sure you print and bring a trail map: many of the trails beyond here are unmarked, and most of the intersections are unsigned.  Enjoy your trip to Liberty Mountain, but make sure you get back to the Snowflex trailhead before sunset.

Blackwater Creek Natural Area: Ruskin Freer Loop (Blog Hike #466)

Trails: Blackwater Creek Bike Trail; Ruskin Freer Loop
Hike Location: Blackwater Creek Natural Area
Geographic Location: north side of Lynchburg, VA
Length: 3.1 miles
Difficulty: 3/10 (Easy/Moderate)
Last Hiked: May 2014
Overview: A nice forest and creekside hike partly on an old railroad grade.

Directions to the trailhead: This hike starts at the Ed Page entrance for the Blackwater Creek Bike Trail, which is located on US 501 Business (Langhorne Road) 1.9 miles north of Memorial Avenue.

The hike: For my general comments on Blackwater Creek Natural Area, see my blog entry for the natural area’s Creekside Trail.  The Freer Loop is probably my favorite among the trail offerings at Blackwater Creek.  The Freer Loop passes through some of the nicest forest in Lynchburg, including a wide variety of habitats, and it is far enough away from the bike trail that most joggers and bikers never make it this deep into the woods.  This section of the natural area is named for Dr. Ruskin S. Freer, a noted botany professor at nearby Lynchburg College.
The only downside to the Freer Loop is the lack of direct trailhead access: you must hike other trails to reach it.  The shortest route to the Freer Loop starts at the Thomson Drive trailhead near Lynchburg General Hospital, but a lack of reliable parking on Thomson Drive makes that access a risky proposition.  Thus, I chose to start at the Ed Page Trailhead, which has a large and easily located parking area.
Ed Page Trailhead
Leaving the Ed Page Trailhead, the first 0.6 miles follow the paved Blackwater Creek Bike Trail, which in turn follows a series of abandoned railroad grades.  The blacktop is well-shaded by mature forest on either side of the trail, and some exposed rock cuts make the hiking more interesting.  While bike paths never make for the best hiking, this one ranks above average for its category.
Hiking the bike path
At 0.6 miles, the connector trail to the Freer Loop exits the paved bike path on the right.  This location is marked by a wooden post that bears trailhead and trail names.  Turn sharply right to begin the connector trail, which is appropriately called the Freer Link.
Leaving the blacktop; starting the Freer Link
The single-track dirt trail climbs slightly and curves left to reach the Freer Loop at 0.8 miles.  The Freer Loop is indeed a loop, so you could go either direction here.  The loop is a little easier to hike clockwise, so this description will angle left here and use the trail going right as the return route.  The Freer Loop is marked with occasional red paint blazes, but the treadway is clear and obvious on the ground.
Freer Loop in upland forest
The Freer Loop descends gradually through oak-hickory-beech upland forest before descending more steeply using two switchbacks to reach the creekside forest.  The hillside here is steep, but the switchbacks keep the grade moderate.  Upon reaching Blackwater Creek, the Beaver Trail exits left, as indicated by another wooden post.  Turn right here to continue the Freer Loop.
The next 0.6 miles parallel the creek, which remains in view most of the way on the left.  The nice upland forest is replaced by nice creekside forest, which includes some large sycamore and walnut trees.  For the most part Blackwater Creek is placid and murky, but a couple of areas feature some small ripples created by rocks just underneath the water surface.
Blackwater Creek
At 1.7 miles, you reach a high wooden suspension bridge across Blackwater Creek.  This bridge is used by the Creekside Trail, described elsewhere in this blog.  The Freer Loop stays on the north side of Blackwater Creek and, 200 feet later, reaches another trail intersection.  The Creekside Trail continues straight here, but the Freer Loop turns right.  Another wooden post marks this intersection.
The trail climbs moderately but only for a short distance to leave behind the creekside area and regain the upland.  Some tulip poplar trees join the broadleaf forest here, and a steep drop back to the creek occasionally appears on the right.  At 2.3 miles, you close the Freer Loop.  A left turn will take you back to the bike path, where another left turn will return you to the Ed Page Trailhead, thus completing the hike.

Sumter National Forest: Hidden Falls Trail (Blog Hike #465)

Trail: Hidden Falls Trail
Hike Location: Sumter National Forest
Geographic Location: northwest of Walhalla, SC
Length: 5 miles
Difficulty: 5/10 (Moderate)
Last Hiked: May 2014
Overview: A ridgetop out-and-back to 50-foot high Hidden Falls.

Directions to the trailhead: Although this trail is officially a national forest trail, it is accessed from a trailhead in Oconee State Park.  To reach the park, take SR 28 west out of Walhalla.  Follow SR 28 for 8 miles to its intersection with SR 107.  Take a soft right on SR 107.  Drive SR 107 for 2.3 miles to the state park entrance.  Turn right to enter the park, and pay the nominal entrance fee.  Bear right at the first intersection, heading for the Foothills Trail trailhead.  After driving 0.6 miles past the campground, park in the paved Foothills Trail parking lot on the right.  This parking lot was upgraded and expanded in 2014 to accommodate 17 cars.

The hike: For my general comments on this area’s hiking options, see the Tamassee Knob Trail blog entry.  Like the Tamassee Knob Trail, the Hidden Falls Trail starts on the Foothills Trail, the 87-mile long master path of upstate South Carolina.  Also like the Tamassee Knob Trail, the Hidden Falls Trail runs from Oconee State Park into adjacent Sumter National Forest, where this trail’s namesake waterfall is located.  Be advised that because Hidden Falls lies high in its watershed, the waterfall will be only a trickle during times of drought.  Plan a visit in the spring or after a good rain for best waterfall viewing.
Western Foothills Trail trailhead, Oconee State Park
            Register at the trailhead; different slots for your free registration correspond to the different trails that depart from this trailhead.  Start hiking up the Foothills Trail as the trail climbs gradually on a recently rerouted path.  At some points you can discern the old treadway on the ground about 20 feet to your left.  At 0.4 miles, you cross the Palmetto Trail, an old roadbed, and then reach a trail intersection.  The Tamassee Knob Trail exits right, so you should turn left to continue heading for Hidden Falls.
Hiking along the ridgetop
            The wide single-track dirt trail assumes a ridgetop character as it undulates gradually while skirting ravines to the right.  At one point an old fire tower road comes into view on the left.  When I hiked this trail in early May, mountain laurel flanked either side of the trail.  Some bushes had already bloomed, some were blooming, and others were just getting ready to bloom.
Mountain laurel
At 1.2 miles, the Hidden Falls and Foothills Trails part ways.  As directed by a sign, turn right to continue on the Hidden Falls Trail.  The trail briefly follows an old seeded-in roadbed before curving left to head into the woods, which consists of the usual combination of pines and broadleaf trees.  The trail drops off the main ridgeline on a gradual grade into a high dell carpeted with ferns.  You can hear a small stream flowing to your right, and an unofficial trail leads down to a small cascade, a prelude to the main attraction.
Fern-lined Hidden Falls Trail
2 miles into the hike, you begin the main descent to Hidden Falls, as you will lose almost 300 feet of elevation over the last 0.5 miles.  The grade is never too steep for too long: the trail drops in fits and starts, kind of like drinking a glass of water one drop at a time.  While descending, the trail also traces around a small finger in the ridge that rises to the right and falls to the left.
Hidden Falls
At 2.5 miles, you reach the base of Hidden Falls.  A small to moderate volume of water falls 50 feet in two main drops.  The water cascading through the boulder field at the base of the falls makes a pleasant gurgling sound that overpowers the sound of the waterfall itself.  A log at the falls’ base makes a perfect viewing spot.  Because the trail ends at the falls and does not form a loop, after viewing the falls you will need to retrace your steps 2.5 miles to the Foothills Trail trailhead to complete the hike.

Financial Peace University Day #3

Financial Peace University Day #3

Tonight was our 3rd FPU (Financial Peace University) class. We got into lesson two, Relating with Money. This lesson is primarily about getting the two partners involved in the budgeting process. Dave says that there two types of people, the Nerd and the Free Spirit. The terms are pretty self explanatory. Though most people in real life know me as a bit of a nerd, when it comes to financial purposes I am the free spirit. My lovely wife is the financial nerd. She is the glue that binds our budget together. In class tonight we talked about bringing these two sides together. Dave lays out some rules and gives some guidance on how to bring these two seemingly different personalities together.

Another portion of the class was about teaching children. Rachael Cruz spoke about having children earn commission rather than being given an allowance. We got on board with this process in December 2016 by picking up the kids education pack Financial Peace Jr. from Ramsey Solutions and we put it to work. The kids have a chore chart to keep track of what they get paid for. There is also a set of books that teach valuable lessons in money management.

I spent the better part of last week in Atlanta for a business trip, during my down time I read more of EntreLeadership, yes one of Dave’s books. If you can’t tell already we have drank heavily of the kool-aid. It got me thinking about starting some kind of business. Not necessarily a service business like I am in right now but a more product driven business. The problem right now is coming up with the supply chain. Finding out where things can be made and how much it would cost. I’ve got a pretty killer little idea, it’s just a matter of making it happen.

As it goes another month passes and we are a little less in debt than we were last month. Time to take out more marbles.

Mayor Bloomberg The Muppets And Cover-ups For Billions in Tax Payer Abuse NYC Gov.

Bloomberg uses Muppets to distract New Yorkers from his mega-scandals...largest tax payer abuses EVER in NYC gov and all involving tech contracts flawed yet he allowed mega-million over-rides on a many tech contracts except ECTP the 911 Tech System where he and city council approved a billion dollar over ride in tax payer money....added up all the over rides involving these contacts were tax payer money was grossly abused  --- John Liu put out a 20 page audit on ECTP.   We should be demanding several billion dollars back in tax payer money plus damages for many of these tech systems and instead reports on the muppets.   If Mike ran his private empire the way he did NYC gov he and his family would be homeless.

Pumpkin Spice My Life

Not since I changed her diet, thank you very much.

Boyfriend gardens. He's very impressive.

Those gross candy pumpkins are the most delicious and disgusting things on earth.

Yep, I was obsessed with pumpkin all weekend.

I did, and it's freaking delicious.

But then I crossed a line.  I made a stir fry of eggplant, broccoli, soy black beans, and tempeh for my work lunch.

So, I dumped more pumpkin sauce on it. And it then looked incredibly unappetizing.

Sigh. I took it too far, you guys. Too far.

Is there a food/flavor you pushed too hard?

  1. If pumpkin spiced things were that good, they'd be offered year-round. This seasonal nonsense is a marketing ploy to push overpowering flavor on a society whose palate already lacks appreciation for subtlety. It's the McRib of spices.
    That's right! Shots fired, Pumpkin Spice!

  2. There's nothing wrong with making something that turns out unappetizing.

    I mean, it could have turned out to be fantastic.

    I spit an awful lot of things into the garbage while thinking, "Well, that one could have gone either way."

  3. Most of the time "pumpkin spice" flavored foods and drinks don't have a single shred of pumpkin. It's just cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg. No pumpkin at all. The whole thing is a lie. You're welcome.

  4. Haha! I know how you feel. Pumpkins in Greece are so underappreciated, i do not know why...I make a lot of things with pumpkins and gourds these days and when i tell in advance the ingredients people are like"meh, no thank you". But when i don't they end up liking my weird concoctions. But, one has to restrain oneself. It can be too much pumpkin!

  5. Ever eat the flesh of a pumpkin straight from the source?? Tastes nothing like a pumpkin spice latte. I'm gonna go ahead and call bullshit on most pumpkin flavors. But I might be pmsing too. So there's that.

  6. I never push anything too far, but sometimes Willy Dunne Wooters does. tee hee

    I freaking LOVE those candy pumpkins. That's why I haven't purchased any since 2011.

  7. Nah, I'm in the less-is-more school. However I've known many more-is-more cooks. Like my friend whose herb omelette was literally, entirely GREEN. Like, Green Eggs and Ham green. I'd rather have some pumpkin pie.

  8. Love pumpkin season! I admit it's gotten a little out of hand, as much as I love pumpkin, but I'm not gonna complain, because I don't want my pumpkin eating options limited.

H2H Virtual Holiday Card Exchange

Today starts the last challenge of the year with Heart 2 Heart as we are all taking a much deserved break for the holidays. The challenge is to create and post a holiday card of any kind wishing everyone who stops at your blog a very Merry __________ (fill in the blank).

Here is my card, with warm wishes for all of my online stamping friends:

I grabbed my Bundled Buddies set and stamped the trees with White Daisy ink on kraft cardstock to create my background. The animals were stamped with brown ink onto kraft, colored with Copics and cut out. I added a couple of lines of machine stitching to the background to ground my trees and then added the cutie patootie animals with some foam tape for dimension. The simple sentiment was stamped in the lower corner and everything was mounted to a Moonstruck (or it might be Outdoor Denim) base.

I hope you will have a chance to play along with us and post a holiday card you've created using Close To My Heart products. This challenge will remain open until the end of the year and we will be back Jan. 9th with a whole new year full of challenges! Be sure to check out our DT call over at the H2H blog too!

Merry Christmas!

Haley D. said...

That stitching makes for such great "snow!" Mary, it continues to be such a pleasure to "work" with you- from "back in the day" at Virtual Convention to now with the H2H Challenge blog. Many blessings to you and yours as you celebrate this Christmas season!

Romaine said...

Mary, I like the stitched hills in the background and the trees stamped in white-oh how wintery!

Jody Gustafson said...

Mary, May many many blessings come your way in 2012. I have really enjoyed being on the DT at H2H. It will be fun to participate each week as a player. Hope that is OK?
Looking forward to the new challenges and meeting all the new DT members. Thank you soooo much for all that you do for us.

A Good Reason to Take an Instructor Led Class

I am doing my final checkout of my code for my evening session with Jaap Brasser for next week’s PowerShell Conference Asia.  Microsoft released Windows Server 2016 last week and all of us are rebuilding our test environments and validating our code with the final product.  While doing my thing, I received an email notification from the  IDERA community from someone new to PowerShell.  They were having some difficulty getting the distinguished names of their clients from Active Directory.  First off, for someone who is new to PowerShell, the code they posted is intense:

Function Get-ComputerFromAD
  ForEach ($Domain in $Global:ADDomains)
   $LdapPath = "LDAP://OU=Computers,OU=GPWS,DC=$Domain,DC=xxx,DC=com"
   [System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher]$Searcher = $LdapPath
   $Searcher.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=computer)(cn=$ComputerName))"
   $Searcher.SearchRoot = $LdapPath
   $Searcher.SearchScope = "Subtree"
   $Searcher.PageSize = 1000
   $PropertiesToLoad = "objectClass","cn","description","distinguishedName","operatingSystem","operatingSystemVersion","operatingSystemServicePack","dnsHostName","lastLogonTimeStamp","whenCreated"
   foreach ($property in $PropertiesToLoad) { $Searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add($property) | Out-Null }
   $ADResult = $Searcher.FindOne()
   if ($ADResult -ne $null)
    return $ADResult
  return $null

That is really awesome for someone who is new.  The problem is that this wheel has already been invented.  To get the distinguished name of a client in Active Directory, you simply need to use the Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell.  Here is the command:

 Get-ADComputer -filter * | Select-Object -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName

After 5 days of my PowerShell classes, I routinely get comments like:
  • ·         I would have never figured that out on my own.
  • ·         I read the entire book and could not understand it until I listened to you.
  • ·         I’ve tried to understand this for a month, you taught it to me in an hour.

The internet is great, but you just cannot beat an interactive class with an instructor who knows there stuff.  Give your local Microsoft Training Partner a call and ask them to place you in a  PowerShell class in your area. If you want me to be your instructor, just ask them to contact me.  Let me help you invest your time wisely and get you well on your way to being a PowerShell rock star.

That command took me 10 seconds.  Image the time that I can save you.

{ Cozy in Garmisch: Plaid cape, Leather leggings & OTK boots }

By Wednesday, October 12, 2016 10

echo-plaid-belted-cape-stuart-weitzman-highland-over-the-knee-boots-londra-suede-how-to-wear-plaid-cape-with-over-the-knee-boots-cape-with-over-the-knee-boots-fall-outfitHappy Wednesday, everyone! It feels as if I’ve been gone a long time even though it’s only been a week since my last post. This happens whenever I miss a blog post or two, but the break was much needed; we had such a wonderful trip to Germany and it was nice to fully enjoy the time with my husband without working. I have plenty of fall-inspired outfits to share over the next few weeks (but actually, it felt more like winter while we were there). I’d forgotten how cold it can be in Germany during early October, but for me it was a welcome change from the mild weather we’d been having in Rome. I kept warm by bundling up in cozy layers and made sure to eat plenty of German comfort food (I’m having withdrawal from spätzle already!)echo-plaid-belted-cape-how-to-wear-a-plaid-cape-best-outfits-with-plaid-scarves-and-over-the-knee-boots-garmisch-germany-fashion-bloggerIf you followed me on Instagram while I was gone, you already know I wore a cape or poncho practically every day in Germany. They’re my absolute favorite piece to wear as an outer layer before winter sets in. This cape is a new addition to my collection and besides the beautiful color, super soft fabric and fact that it’s reversible, the best part is the adjustable tie-waist belt. For those who aren’t fans of capes/ponchos due to bulkiness (a problem for petite ladies), this one is definitely for you! It also comes in a neutral taupe, navy blue and a gorgeous red plaid—perfect for the holidays!echo-gray-plaid-belted-cape-chanel-jumbo-black-caviar-with-silver-hardware-plaid-cape-with-over-the-knee-boots-outfitecho-gray-plaid-belted-cape-stuart-weitzman-londra-suede-over-the-knee-boots-best-outfits-with-plaid-cape-and-over-the-knee-bootsI accented the gray in this plaid pattern by wearing mine with a turtleneck tunic and coordinating suede boots.echo-plaid-belted-cape-chanel-jumbo-classic-black-caviar-with-silver-hardware-gray-plaid-cape-fall-outfitecho-brushed-plaid-cape-stuart-weitzman-gray-highland-over-the-knee-boots-how-to-wear-oversized-cape-with-over-the-knee-boots-for-fallgarmisch-germany-fall-in-garmisch-germany-travel-bloggerThe sun didn’t shine very often while we were there, but luckily my hubby was able to capture one of the mountain peaks during this photo shoot (most of the time they are shrouded by foggy mist all day). I grew up in the mountains, so being here almost felt like home to me, and I never tire of the incredible countryside views. Thank you all for reading and I’ll be back with a new post on Friday!

My Home Poem

Home is a place where you can feel safe,
and have the feeling of joy and faith.
Your home can be a place that you love
it can be looking at the stars above.
Everyone should have a home I feel,
but sadly my dream isn’t real.
Some people live on the street,
while some people sit in the heat.
I wonder when humans will fix this,
this could be an opportunity that we could miss.

My home is in Saskatoon, Canada and I love the city,
I live in an apartment with my dad and my kitty. I love my home even if it’s small,
I love my family and that isn’t all.
A few of my family members live far away,
but we still stay in contact from day to day.

Help the homeless if you can,
how would you feel if you were that man?
Think about how other people feel,
when they have no home or no meals.
If you help the homeless you would be helpful,
and the person you help would be thankful.
If you have a home you shouldn’t get mad,
think of all the people who would be glad.
So let’s try to fix the world right now,
and everyone should know how.

How to Streaming H.265 to Samsung via Plex without Video Buffering Issue?

HEVC x265 buffering when playing on Samsung TV via Plex

I currently have a Plex Media Server on a local network. The network is cabled and using gigabit connections. I am currently having issues when playing HEVC/x254 videos whereby after every few minutes (normally every 3-5), the video stops and the buffering dots appears for a few seconds. This issue only occurs on my Samsung UE55HU7500 and UE55HU6900. If I use a PC, iPhone or iPad either locally or remotely it plays fine. It does not matter how I try and play the videos; both direct play and transcoding have the same results.

How to fix H.265 video buffering on Plex?

After searching on the Internet, we find this article: How to Fix Constant Video Buffering Issue on Plex. And we get the information that the vast majority of buffering issues when streaming content in a Plex app are caused due to the following two main reasons:
1. The network connection can't support the requested stream.
2. The content can't be transcoded fast enough for the stream.

Since the user who posted the problem said that “The network is cabled and using gigabit connections”, we can see that there is nothing issue with the former reasons. As for the second reasons, it is well know that the transcoding process of H.265 is very computer processor intensive, if your computer is very old, it may be not powerful enough to perform the transcoding that you need. Besides that, the problem may also caused by device limitation. For example, the Plex app for your Samsung TV can experience memory-related constraints. If you try to play content at too high a bitrate, the app can run out of memory available to it, which can result either in crashing or in poor playback, which may manifest as buffering. When in device limitation cases, lowering the video streaming quality in Plex app to the recommended values may help.

Transcode H.265 for streaming to Samsung TV via Plex

If above listed ways does not address your issue, another effective way is transcoding the high bit rate H.265 to Plex supported H.264 codec with lower bit rate but high quality. Here, you can utilize our top ranked H.265 Video Converter,Pavtube Video Converter for Windows/Mac (support Mac OS X El Capitan), which can effortlessly decode H.265 to Plex app for Samsung TV compatible H.264 codec, so that you can play video on Samsung TV via Plex without video buffering issue. In addition, you can also compress 4K video to 1080p for smooth video streaming effect.

Besides H.265, the program also assist you to convert other incompatible file formats such as AVI, ISO, BDMV,Video_TS, etc for playing on Samsung TV (Plex app supported Smart TV models)through Plex app.

Windows version

Mac version

How to Transcode H.265 for Smoothly Streaming to Samsung TV via Plex?

Step 1: Load H.265 HEVC files to the program.
Launch the software on your Mac computer, click the "Load files" button or "Add video" button to add source H.265/HEVC files.

Step 2: Output Plex app for Samsung TV supported file format.
For great video quality and smoothly playback considerations, you can select the H.264 as output format from "Format > HD Video > H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)".

Step 3: Compress 4K to 1080p.
Open "Profile Settings" window, click "Size(pix)" to select 1920*1080 as the final resolution for output video.

Step 4: Begin conversion.
Start H.265/HEVC to Plex app for Samsung TV conversion by clicking the right-bottom convert button.

When the conversion is finished, hit the "Open" icon on the bottom of the main interface will pop up the folder with converted files. Add converted movies to Plex Media Server, install and launch the Plex app on your Samsung TV, then feel free to stream files to Samsung TV via Plex with no video buffering issue.

CRTC: Has the CBC strayed from its pubcaster mandate?

Do Canadians want CBC or CBC-lite? The CRTC wants to know as it launches an online consultation ahead of upcoming radio and TV licence renewal hearings.

The pressure is already building on the CBC to justify itself as the CRTC today launched an online consultation of the public broadcaster ahead of its upcoming licence renewal hearings.

The CBC’s relevance with Canadians, and whether it should distinguish itself from its private sector rivals, are the focus of the CRTC’s online probe before hearings on renewing the network’s radio and TV licences start on Sept. 12.

The regulator is also asking Canadians how the CBC can best deliver content nationwide, if the CBC’s programming meets “all of its objectives” and if the CBC’s news output is “reliable and authoritative.”

The licence renewal hearings follow the CBC’s controversial programming strategy of recent years – some have called it dumbing down  – in which traditional fare has been replaced with a range of feel-good programming to successfully boost ratings. The network is now ranked #2 nationally for total viewers in prime time.

The range of questions indicates that the CRTC is looking to find out if Canadians think that in going more mainstream, the CBC has strayed from its original public broadcasting mandate.

The online consultation ends July 18 and can be accessed here.

No commiting suicide!!!  Join with us and lets fight for our rights? - - It has been too long -we have no reason to feel shame ---- they would love for us just to give up. -It is like we have leprosy and no one really cares what is us happening to us because they feel like we brought it upon ourselves, by taking the illicit and even the prescribed medications written to us by our physicians. Have you been treated  like the scum of the earth, when you had to admit to another physician, you were seeing for another ailment,  - - that you were taking methadone.?  Did you notice the change in their countenance toward you?   Many of us have and we are just tired of being looked down upon as if we were there for just more medication.   I don't  like being discriminated against.   Do you? - -   I have even had physicians refuse to treat me because I was taking methadone? - - -  What about "Hippocratic Oath?"  "Do No Harm."

Some of us have accepted the label - but not me!  Addiction Is A Disease!  ~ ~ ~  There are still people who haven't heard.  - Then we have those who simply choose not to believe it.  They would prefer to see us us locked up behind bars and  in doing it their way, they don't have to deal with us.They have succeeded in many people's lives and it is a crying shame and I am sure there are plenty that wish we would just commit suicide - then there would be one less addict to worry about.  They don't want our Medication Assisted Programs in their towns. They fight them in every way they can.  If that is not enough for us to deal with, we have to deal with the "Methadone Maintenance Treatment Centers," and we have some of them which are excellent and treat us like we are human beings but they are others that see us as if we had leperosy.

 We are to here to help you if you have are having problems. If you are having any problems within the "Medication Assisted Treatment Program,"  -  you are attending  and cannot get any relief through their "Grievance Procedure,"  not all, but most have their own of handling your complaints.    ~ ~   You must follow the "chain of command."   - - -  - First try talking with your counselor about your circumstances, they should be able to offer you some advice but if they can not handle your complaint, - they should be able to advise you on how to proceed from there.  -  -  If they tell you there is no way for them to hear your Grievance, proceed directly to your Program Director and and share with them your circumstances and basically let them know what your needs are.

Most of the time, - they are there to help you, so approach them in an amiable manner, - not with a chip on your shoulder before the conversation takes place.  Speak in a soft voice and maintain your control at all times. - It will work in your favor later if you have to take your grievance up to the next level.  If at this point you still do not have your problem settled then it is time to call for back-up. We are the back-up, - - - even though a lot of you are smart enough to handle it on your own, and if you have the ability, - then we will supply the people you need to contact and what your next steps should be.

Just to lighten it up for you; sometimes our grievances seem to overwhelm us. - It adds comfort to know someone cares and is on your side and we can trust in them to help us.

Every Methadone Maintenance Treatment Facility is accredited by one of the following agencies. All are located on our Internet. Most of them have forms that you can print out and mail back to them.

I think we can hurt their business --- especially if we work together --- make it a point by word of mouth to let all you can know, file your reports being specific about their practices and I will take the next step by splashing the specific com-plaints in various places, so we the patients can get the word out.

Which one are you?  Will you bury you head in the sand and ignore the abuse or will you join the others and report the truth?

A little good-luck pig!

Callian, a magnificent village typical of Var, forms a spiral pattern around a private medieval chateau, rebuilt in the 17th century. One of the edifice’s two towers boasts a clock that gives it its name. At the base of the tower, there is a door with a decorated lintel that may pass unnoticed, on which there is a pig’s head. Over time its snout has become polished from the caresses of thousands of hands, since, as the small sign next to it tells you, this snout supposedly brings good luck:

 “Ô toi qui viens de loin, Si tu frottes mon groin, À coup sûr, très grand bien, À jamais sera tien” (Oh you who come from afar, If you rub my snout, Much good, without a doubt, Will be yours forever)

In 1958, Henri Briffaut, who had been the tutor of Baudouin, KIng of the Belgians, when the latter was a young prince, found himself enchanted by the ruins of chateau de Callian. He acquired the property and restored it with respect and good taste, winning several awards. A painter, writer and sculptor, Briffaut placed several examples of his own creations here and there; the imaginary animals standing along the ramparts like somewhat dreamlike contemporary gargoyles, but also, in front of the little door to the chateau on rue de Lyle, a stone knight bearing a cross potent, and of course the realistic pig’s head on the door of the clock tower.

(Adapted from Secret French Riviera by Jean-Pierre Cassely)

Various and Sundry Things

The Christmas anthology I edited, A Touch of Mistletoe, is available for pre-order all over the place. Much love the authors who, when I emailed them about it, happily agreed to join the party. If you're looking for a collection of cute (and occasionally hot) Mistletoe-themed stories, well here you go :3

My new serial has begun running. Shine Forever actually goes back in time, a few years before Love You Like a Romance Novel to tell the full story of how Dai and Cooper met. Not a story I ever thought I'd write, but then again I thought Missing Butterfly would be the only one. I'm still not certain how somebody who doesn't even really like bandfic keeps writing it (answer: I'm a sucker).

Coming out in just a few more days is the audiobook for Dance in the Dark. It's the same voice actor who did Dance with the Devil. But the voice actor will be changing for Midnight, for obvious reasons (we had a voice actor picked out, but he's no longer viable, so I have to listen to samples to pick a new one). But DitD is ready to go and awesome ^__^

The new year is already pretty busy! Along with the ebook releases of Shine Forever and Harem Master (release dates to come), I also have The Broken Forest coming out in March as part of LT3's Damsels in Distress collection. Those get listed in December, so more then ^__^

In writing news, peeps will be very excited to know that I have finally finished the rough draft of the expanded The High King's Golden Tongue. Currently the story sits at 104k, so it's not a short rewrite. And knowing me, that number will go up. It is currently with a beta, and after I get it back and fix everything the beta mentions, it's off to the editors at LT3. Expect this one in the fall (ish) of next year.

I am currently poking at the first of what will be six (give or take) superhero stories. My plan is to write all of them before doing anything more with them. I also want to get back to Clan Mordred since that poor story fell by the wayside this year. And I'm also going to tackle Dragon Magic. After that comes The Painted Crown and possibly The Stolen Scepter, which are sequels to The Engineered Throne.

After that, we'll see. My main long term goal is to finish up a bunch of straggling Dance-verse short stories and then write the last, last Dance book. But lord only knows what will get in my way or distract me before I get anywhere near it. Speaking of Dance and Mordred, I am hoping to finally get Pack published. I sent it to the editors forever ago, but with one thing and another it just had to fall to the wayside. But that should be out in 2015 as well. Date to come when I have it.

On the sci-fi front, I am slowly picking away at a story called Star Grinders. This is set in Kidnapped-verse, but not in the Infinitum Government. It's about a rival government/territory called the Stalarium Empire, and this particular story is about Hikkar, a bio-luminescent ex-military delivery guy who just wants to be left the hell alone (but winds up escorting a cute android-type figure to a certain party planet in a place they're not supposed to go).

And I feel like I'm forgetting something, but whatever, my plans change every five minutes

I am going all the way to the top of New York for Christmas, to spend it with Sasha and her family. The cold is going to kill me. Remember me fondly, my beloved peeps.

I bought a new bed! It's a fancy memory foam thing. Getting in and out of it is really weird. The cats keep stealing it, which surprises nobody.

My back or hips or something have been killing me lately. I don't know what it is. But it doesn't matter how I sit, lay, or stand, it always feels like that whole lower back and hips area has jerked out of alignment and rusted, or something. I keep hoping it will fix itself. We'll see x_X

I hope everyone is doing well, and that the cold is not too terrible for those who hate it (and just right for those who love it). Have a good weekend, my lovelies!

Meg's Memo

. . .writings from Wilmington.

Thursday, July 28, 2011

Let's Hear it for NEW YORK

On Mother's Day, Jake surprised me by telling me that we were going to NYC for our anniversary, just the two of us. Friday we were to fly out at 7:30 & arrive in NYC by 9:30. We ended up delayed 2 hours, then boarded & took off. We had been in the air 20+ minutes & the pilot said we were turning around & landing in Wilmington due to "a/c issues." The flight was cancelled. They couldn't get us to NYC until after 3pm on Saturday afternoon. So we basically lost a whole day of our 3 day vacation. . . huge bummer.

Finally in NYC (4pm on Saturday), waiting for the subway.

It was HOT.

We went to TKTS on Broadway as soon as we hit NYC & got tickets to "Catch Me If You Can."

My bosses nephew is the lead role - Frank Abagnale JR. We got to meet Aaron after the show & get a backstage tour. Thanks Becky, for the hook-up.

Sunday morning we met some friends, James & Candace, in Brooklyn for donuts at Peter Pan Donuts. I totally forgot to take a picture.
Yankees vs A's game Sunday afternoon.

Jake had a foul ball in his hands but then dropped it.

We went to STOMP on Sunday night.

Found this yummy gelato place after the show. Then walked to Trader Joe's.

Monday morning we got up & headed to the Today Show. Unbeknownst to us, they were doing a segment on HOPE week with 3 Yankees players - Jeter, Sebathia & Cano. We snapped some photos. Jake waited outside the door for Cano to come by so he could "meet" him. I was ready with the camera. . . but i missed it when Jake gave him a fist bump.

Jake's reaction after the fist bump. (I do also have a picture of his reaction when I told him I missed it & did not get a photo. Oops!)

Magnolia Bakery
Top Of The Rock

The Original Famous Ray's Pizza

We had such a nice time in NYC. So fun to get away, just the two of us. We did miss our little Lily bug. . .A LOT! She had fun with her cousins while we were gone. Thank You Chrissy & family!

new renters

Just last week we had some new renters move in.
We witnessed the birds scope it out & then start building their nest over just a few days.

I couldn't help but think of & start meditating on this favorite passage of scripture:

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious (worried) about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

27 And which of you by being anxious (worried) can add a single hour to his span of life?

28 And why are you anxious (worried) about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,

29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 Therefore do not be anxious (worried), saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

MATTHEW 6:25-33 ESV, verse 34 NASB

("worried" is the NASB translation)

TWINS shower

My cousin Adam's wife, Chrissy, is expecting TWINS in September.
We had a little TWINS shower for her on Saturday.
I can't wait to meet these two (1 boy & 1 girl).

Chrissy's mom ordered the below cake for the shower.
It was fun that she could be there for the shower.

My little helper. These cute aprons were a birthday gift for Lily.

***Jake took these photos quick before the shower started. I was so busy that I didn't touch the camera during the shower. So bummed that I didn't take a picture with Chrissy & her girls.***

Vacation - part five

So the REAL reason we took vacation these dates was for the GRANDIA FAMILY REUNION. We drove down to my grandparents house, in Iowa, on Friday. The reunion was Friday night to Monday morning. My grandparents even paid for everyone's transportation to get there - HUGE blessing. Our 2 tickets were close to $1000. So thankful for the time to get reacquainted with our family. Thanks Grandpa & Grandma for your generosity.

Vacation - part four

More highlights - Wednesday we went to the TWINS game - Thanks Dad & Mom!

Vacation - part three

More Highlights - Tuesday we went downtown to meet Bekah, Eric & Luke for lunch. We also went to the ice cream social that Bekah's work was hosting.

The kids got their face and/or hand painted

Lily got to meet TC (MN Twins mascot)

Vacation - part two

MORE highlights -Monday night we had a picnic at the park with BOTH families. That was fun!

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

Vacation - part one

We flew to MINNESOTA on Saturday, July 25 for our summer vacation.
Here are some highlights (more pictures on facebook).

Family birthday party for Lily

Hanging out with the family (YES, MN is still cool enough for a fire pit.)

LOTS of playing with cousins

Shifter - Melbourne Shuffle Winners

Congratulations from Melbourne Shuffle Oldskool, to Shifter for 1st place doing a great choreographed team shuffle at the 'Graceful Live Show And Art Exibition 2007' in Jusco Tebrau (Malaysia).

Seems their practice has paid off! Some really good synchronised shuffling here, great to see. Here's some vids of the performance

Shifter @ Jusco Tebrau (posted by Apekwhuut)

  1. shifter hardstyle prodigySeptember 7, 2007 at 11:21 PM

    hi garry, thanx for the post.
    Prepared for next comp middle okt i guess.Catch u later with new vid and pic!
    thanx again mate!
    keep in touch!

  2. I published this negative 'Ooh noo' as an example.

    In future, Negative comments will be published on this site only if you give reasons for your comment and sign them with your online name.

    Melbourne Shuffle is a supportive culture. Is OK if you don't like something, but to be fair to people you comment about, you need to say why, and identify yourself - so no 'anon'.

    Sometimes negative comments can be helpful to the dancers/ artists, and usually they are interested in what you have to say.

    Sometimes there can just be a misunderstanding. Melbourne Shuffle Oldskool is an international site and English is not everybody's language. So misunderstandings, especially with different cultural attitudes can occur.

    Melbourne has over 180 languages spoken and we like to include everyone and have respect for different cultures, even if we don't agree with them or like them. It's everybody's planet. No Wars please.

    So for negative comments - Example: you didn't like music, dance, style, competition, video etc.

    Saying just 'No' or 'Don't like it' could be because you are just jealous. Maybe you don't like teams or competitions, which means the dancers are OK but just not your taste in dance.

    We also moderate comments to stop spam and haters. Haters are not welcome on Melbourne Shuffle Oldskool because they are boring.

    So to be fair to everybody, if you don't like something, please explain why.

  3. Never stop rockin off!
    Live to shuffle, shuffle to live!
    This page is a great tribute to something that only encourages the individual and it makes me proud to be a melburnian that pulls on a pair of fattys every weekend without fail! HARDSTYLE OOT OOT!

  4. don't u ever worry..
    shuffle will stay forever..
    it's a nice cooperate of melbourne & malaysia..
    we will always support shuffle..
    go melbourne & malaysia shuffler..

Team N 3rd Stage Called [Koko ni datte Tenshi wa Iru]

On the second day of AKB48's Tokyo Dome Concerts, dates for new stages for all teams were announced. Among them is the long-awaited 3rd Stage for Team N. For this stage, the title has also been revealed. It will be called  [Koko ni datte Tenshi wa Iru] (which can be translated to "Angels are here"/ "Even angels are here"). The Shonichi will take place on October 26. One song of this stage, [Aoi Tsuki ga Miteru Kara], has already been performed during the Kyocera Dome Concert on August 7.

This stage will be the first original one for Team N after they have performed Team A 3rd's [Dareka no Tame ni] and Team K2nd's [Seishun Girls], as well as a revival of the already rehashed stage [Dareka no Tame ni]. In February last year, Team N 3rd had been originally announced for May 12, 2012 but was then postponed to August 19, 2012, then to October 8, 2012 and later postponed indefinitely.

In contrast to the previous times, we now have a title and a song out of the stage, so this time it is very likely that the stage is really happening. Three years after NMB48's debut and two years and almost five moths after Team N was formed, the first original NMB48 stage might finally happen!

For the other Shonichi dates please refer to this post .

I am really excited and so happy though part of me still doesn't really believe that N3rd is happening. One and a half year have passed since the stage was first announced. One and a half year of promises and disappointments for the Team N girls as well as their fans. This better be one of the best stages ever!

RTT Prep Update

After banging my head against Calgar lists for two days, I pretty much determined I cannot field what I would consider a "good" list containing him at 2K.  I came up with two "decent" lists: the one posted earlier on the blog, and another has a LR and turns the MM/HF Dread into a second Rifleman at the expense of a MM AB and the Termies.  While both lists are "workable" and would be more than adequate for non-tournament game, I am very hesitant to go into a tournament situation without a hood.  The new GKs only underscore that concern.  Couple that with the fact that either one would require significant modeling/painting (when I'd rather be working on GKs) and I decided to go with the Battleforce List.

Doing an honest assessment of the models, I decided I need to accomplish the following before the tournament:

1.  Highlight Speeders
2.  Rebase all the Tacticals
3.  Paint a "replacement" Tactical squad (My third squad is pretty fugly atm)
4.  Clean up freehand on vehicles
5.  Details on an extra Attack Bike

Last night I sat down and dusted off my hobby tools, paints, and brushes and got to work.  I knocked out the Speeders (kinda overdid two of them, so might have to tone them down) and rebased the Tacticals (I still need to paint the bases).  I also did some of the details on the AB and vehicles, but still need to finish those up.  I also did some work on a Ven Dread to make it match the rifleman arms.  I felt like I got a lot accomplished, but I was also pretty tired of dealing with rank and file Smurfs.

Once the weather gets a little warmer this week I will prime the new Tac Squad (assembled, based, and ready to go) and the GKTs.  I think once I finish the random stuff and paint the Tac Squad, I am pretty much done with Smurfs for a while.  While I REALLY enjoy painting individual models like ICs, Dreadnoughts, and LRs, I am not a fan of painting squads.  I am going to have to be really careful about how I go about painting the GKs so I don't burn out or try to rush through them like I did with some of my Smurf Squads.
