EWU football recruit shot to death
Cousin says it appeared shooter targeted Topps
Tue., Nov. 2, 2010
By Steve Bergum steveb@spokesman.com
Devin Topps, a former football standout at Kentridge High School and member of Eastern Washington University's 2010 recruiting class, was beaten and shot to death early Sunday morning, after a fight broke out following a Halloween party he had attended in north Kent.
Topps signed a national letter of intent to play for the Eagles despite missing most of his senior season with an injury. But he failed to meet the NCAA's academic requirements and, according to EWU head coach Beau Baldwin, was still in the process of trying to become eligible to accept the full-ride scholarship he had been offered.
Baldwin said he was "saddened tremendously" by the news of Topps' violent and tragic death.
"He was someone we got to know a little bit through recruiting," Baldwin added, "and even though he wasn't able to get into school in the fall, he still had aspirations of going to college.
"He was taking classes to try to get his grades up and potentially get in at a later date, whether it be winter, spring or even next year. You always hate to see unnecessary tragedies like that happen."
A Seattle Times story, citing police reports, said Topps and some of his friends were leaving the Halloween party when they were approached by another group of males walking up the street. A verbal exchange followed and quickly escalated into threats, and at some point at least one of the suspects reportedly pulled a handgun.
Several shots were reportedly fired as Topps and his friends attempted to flee, but Topps, who police said was unarmed, collapsed with at least one gunshot wound and was unable to reach his pickup parked nearby.
King 5 News in Seattle talked to Scott Leeson, a neighbor of party host Jose Gomez, who claimed to have witnessed the entire event and saw Topps being beaten before he was shot.
"Hit him about three times; pistol whipped him in the back of the head, he fell on a car, he just didn't have nowhere to go," Leeson told King 5 News. "It escalated down the road to where he spent his last moment laying on the cold, rainy ground."
Topps' 16-year-old cousin, Aallyah Topps, who was at the party, told King 5 News he did not recognize the shooter, but insisted the confrontation was no accident.
"They were sitting out here waiting for him," he said of the uninvited guests. "They were arguing over football."
Police told the Seattle Times they are looking for two or more males, of Asian or Hispanic descent and in their late teens to early 20s, as people of interest.
Two of Topps' former teammates at Kentridge – Russell Turpin, a redshirt freshman offensive lineman, and Dylan Zystra, a freshman defensive lineman – are currently on Eastern's roster.
Zystra was a member of the same EWU recruiting class as Topps, who was named a first-team All-South Puget Sound League North Division linebacker following his junior year in 2009.

COALITION LAUNCHES DISRUPTIVE CYBER INSURANCE & SECURITY OFFERING IN CANADA
Leading cyber insurance provider takes aim at the new threats technology brings to Canadian businesses
SAN FRANCISCO — May 14, 2020 — Coalition, the leading cyber insurance and security company in the US, today announced it is expanding its offering to Canada-based companies, providing proactive cybersecurity products and services and best-in-class cyber and technology error & omissions insurance to help keep businesses safe.

Coalition's global cybersecurity platform provides businesses the risk management support they need most, including help preventing incidents in the first place, and support during and after a crisis. With this expansion, Coalition is proud to advance its mission to solve cyber risk together with Canadian businesses by not only helping to prevent cyber attacks, but helping businesses survive them when they occur.

"The future of cyber security and insurance are integrated solutions to protect against cyber incidents across all asset types. We're excited to make this future a reality across the Canadian market."
Coalition's approach to cyber insurance is rooted in risk management and mitigation, bringing together cyber security expertise with the safety of insurance to provide the first truly holistic approach to solve cyber risk:

Aligned incentives
: Coalition is changing the paradigm in cybersecurity by aligning economic incentives with its customers. Unlike a traditional cybersecurity company, Coalition shares its customer's incentives to prevent and mitigate losses.
"Coalition is more than just an insurance solution," said Joshua Motta, CEO of Coalition. "Our expansion into Canada will give us greater visibility into cyber losses, and even more resources to combat cybercrime, on a global basis."

James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above.
That's a scripture we typically throw out there when we're talking about a baby being born. No doubt, a good and perfect gift from above. But hey, since we know that EVERY good and perfect gift is from above, we're going to talk about something else good. Something all women want to know about. Let's talk about eyelashes.
Fake eyelashes are my one guilty pleasure. straight up love me some big long lashes. They're all the rage. Hey for 50 bucks you can go get you some lash extensions applied that will last a few weeks – or you can be like me and spend a whopping 3 bucks on the Salon Perfect brand at the local WalMart and practice becoming a master at gluing them on.
I've had 14 years of practice so I nearly have an unfair advantage. You see, I started wearing fake lashes when no one else knew they still existed in stores, probably still hanging there from the 60's when American women were last obsessed with lashes.
Hang with me – I'm going somewhere here folks.
I avoided her from that day on. No joke.
Why did I do that? I had literally just faced a spiritual battle. I knew the truth was better, but I just wanted for a moment to take credit for something that wasn't mine. I straight up lied. No beating around the bush about it. I claimed those lashes to be homegrown when they were as fake as the $3 bill that bought them.
Life is always going to give us an opportunity to take credit for things we have no business taking credit for. The applause and the compliments are almost addicting. The spotlight feels good. We all crave to be recognized. But are we keeping the glory for ourselves, or are we turning the spotlight right back to God where it belongs?
What have you been taking credit for with your puffed up ego, that had really NOTHING to do with you, and everything to do with a loving, merciful, generous, relentless God who chased you down and blessed you? Answer … everything. Like literally everything!
The average person in the world earns $2 per day. TWO DOLLARS. It's amazing to me how quickly we can blow $2 and the average person had to put in a hard days labor (I'm talking labor like you and I have never experienced before) for the same $2 we loosely spend on a chapstick we'll lose tomorrow.
So here we are with our money and our luxuries and our 1st world problems and we think it's all because we're good people. It's because we are deserving somehow? It's because we earned it. No, we're lying!
Pshhhhhhh – girl listen to me. None of the glory goes to us. Just as those weren't my lashes and it was all a result of a $3 box of pixy wings affixed perfectly to my eyelids, all the goodness in our life is simply a result of God's grace and mercy. Every good and perfect gift is from above, NOT FROM YOU.
Every success in our lives is all a result of God. I mean sure you worked – you put in some good effort. But don't forget it was God that gave you the ability and the opportunity that TRULY made it happen. The credit goes to him. Make your life a stage which gives God the spotlight.
Let me tell you something, that spotlight is dangerous and intoxicating. Look at our celebrities today. How hard is it to live a good life when that spotlight shines so brightly on you and everyone knows your name? We think that's what we want, but I honestly wouldn't wish that upon anyone. Spotlights bring out the haters. Spotlights highlight our flaws. Spotlights fluff our ego, then our ego chokes us out. All because the spotlight was never meant for us. It's God's. Only God's.
Love God so big and so out loud that your gratitude for all he has done in your life acts as a magnet to others. Pull them in to know your God by giving him the credit. It really wasn't you. It was God.
In Philippians chapter 3 Paul encourages us to stop bragging about ourselves and start praising God. I love how he puts together this impressive list of all his accomplishment and then he says they're like "dung" – you know dung, manure, crap, a big pile of do-do – compared to what Christ is in his life.
And that is us too. I don't know how awesome your accomplishments are – perhaps your list of successes will be mighty long this month, and I'm so proud of you – but please please remember this – God is the foundation of all those things. All good and perfect things are from above. Give him credit. The opportunities came because of Him. The connections were orchestrated by him. The strength is because of Him. The ability because of Him. Every ounce of your value, worth, talent and treasure are because of Him. Your time … that is Him. It starts with Him and it ends with Him.
Taking the credit for all the good things in your life like you're all that and a bag of chips is like me claiming those eyelashes were mine.
Give glory to God for every good and perfect thing in your life today. All of it. Recognize his fingerprints are all over your life. It's really not about you … it's about him, because he's a good good Father, and you're his beloved daughter.


Sandgate is a village near Folkestone in England. HG Wells (1866-1946) lived at Sandgate and it was also the birthplace of comedienne Hattie Jacques.
Sandgate spans 2 & 1/2 kms of Kent coastline between Folkestone and Hythe. It fringes the English Channel and clusters beneath steep wooded slopes. Here you will find an area teeming with naval, military and social history and a village with a fascinating mix of architectural styles.
Enjoy a stroll along the sea wall, or explore the network of byways and woodland paths with panoramic views across the Channel. Rowing, fishing, bathing and cycling are also popular.
Centre of the South East antiques trade, Sandgate also welcomes you to rest and savour its pubs, cafes, fish and chip or gourmet restaurants. Sandgate's charm is much as Cobbett saw it on his Rural Ride Through Kent in 1823 - 'A beautiful little place upon the beach itself'.
The Morcheeba song "The Sea" is written about the popular beachside bar 'Bar Vasa'. The Sandgate Hotel appeared on the Channel 4 programme Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on February 27, 2006.
Historically, Sandgate was once a little bastion against invasion (Pigots 1840 - Sandgate &c). Today, six gaunt Martello Towers on the heights, a peaceful Castle on the pebble shore, the lure of the French cliffs clear in the evening light, the Channel Tunnel not far off, remind us that those days of strife are over.
On the administrative side, in 1934 Sandgate is merged reluctantly with Folkestone Borough Council, absorbed in Shepway District Council in 1974. Despite modern expansion, Sandgate proudly guards its identity and its sense of history. Through the efforts of The Sandgate Society, two large Conservation Areas (designated 1972) now help to protect a fascinating mix of architectural styles.
Economically, Sandgate has always adapted to changing times and needs. Its rise and progress clearly stem from the late 18th century days of shipbuilding for George 111's Navy. With the Napoleonic menace, the growing presence of the Military at Shorncliffe Camp (est 1794), brings life and trade to the village; lodgings, inns and taverns are in demand. When peace returns, it flowers as a select and serene little watering place long before Folkestone or Hythe. The revival of the Camp in the days of Imperial rule spurs the economy. Then post World War 11, Sandgate develops as the South-east centre of the Antiques Trade.
Sandgate was an urban district from 1894 to 1934 (having previously been part of Cheriton parish). It was added to Folkestone in 1934. It re-acquired a parish council in 2004.
Sandgate is also famous for Dave the Dolphin - Click on the picture to find out more.
Fifteen years after the Spanish Armada, Queen Elizabeth I dines and rests in the castle.
Fabian Clayton Wilson was the first to set up shipyards on the beach ground leased from the 2nd Earl of Radnor.
Sandgate's Westrly defences are extended (Battery Point) and the Royal Military Canal begins it's slow construction. The crumbling Castle is transformed into a giant Martello Tower armed with a cannon. Sir John Moore, pioneer of light infantry raining, commands the coast from Deal to Dungeness.
The trade continues - brigs, yawls, luggers and fishing craft were built but on a smaller scale.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert pass through Sandgate on their way to Shorncliffe Camp.
The Royal Standard is hoisted for the last time. The War Office sells the Castle (Destined for a railway station) for a sum of £20,000.
Shorncliffe Camp is allocated £170,000 for improvements. The camp is the mainstay in terms of trade and jobs.
The Castle first opens to the public accompanied by the band of the 1st Cinque Ports Artillery Voluuteers.
The Helena Hospital for the families of the military is constructed above Battery Point.
The British Red Cross acquires Enbrook House as a seaside branch of the Star and Garter hospital in Richmond.
World War II. Invasion fears are rife. Enbrook House is requisitioned by the Army and later the Fire Service.
The semi-derilict castle and land attached are seriously damaged by the sea.
Sandgate Castle is Grade I listed and scheduled as an ancient monument.
Saga Holidays aquire Enbrook House and the 27 acres of land for around £200,000.
Two thousand Ghurkas are expected to take up married quarters.

It was my stepdaughters 16th birthday today and as she lives with her father my partner said at 6.45am this morning that she was going to call her.
However, instead of coming in to our bedroom to do it she went in to our sons room and Skyped her and as I wasn't included I stayed where I was. Our kids went in to the room and they all sang happy birthday to her and watched her open her gifts. This really upset me as I felt excluded but when I mentioned it I was dismissed and was told that I should have just come in. I tried to explain how I felt and explained that if the shoe were on the other foot that I would haven't acted like that but it fell on deaf ears and we just argued.
We have been together for 10 years and have 4 kids together so I just don't understand why she wouldn't just say "shall we call her" and then do it together as a family?
Am I right to be upset or am I overreacting?
It's impossible to know if you're overreacting or not. Why didn't you get up and join them? Were you excluded or did you exclude yourself?
Has she made you feel left out before? How is your relationship with SD? Do you get along, would she be happy to see you at her Skype Birthday party?
I think you should believe your wife, unless there is a history of her dismissing your feelings about not being included.
I don't think I'd Skype a happy birthday/watch opening presents with my sixteen year old daughter in the bedroom where SF is still not up and starting his day either.
However I would have been excited to call my daughter and to do it early enough before the teen had to hurry for school. So yes, I'd have called early. I might also do the call in the kids bedroom so they could all be in on it without them too running around too early.... but with that said, I would have definitely informed you of my intentions the evening before ('hey, we're calling the birthday girl in the morning real early, just letting you know so you can be up and ready if you want to participate') .
So I think it's fair for you to mention to your wife that you are disappointed that you had a few second heads-up and felt uninvited and excluded. Chances are she never gave it a thought of purposely ditching you, but fact is she kind of did.
Better to talk about it (and in a non-accusatory way) then to wonder and/or build hard feelings.
My opinion on this is... it depends. If there is history of you being iced and excluded then yes, your feeling upset is legitimate and not over reacting. If there is not an established history then... your feelings are not legitimate and you are over reacting.
Only you know the comprehensive picture.

Q: How do you calculate the gradient of bias in a conolutional neural network? I am having a hard time finding resources online about how to preform backpropagation with the bias in a convolutional neural network. By bias I mean the number added to every number resulting from a convolution.
Here is a picture further explaining
I know how to calculate the gradient for the filter's weights but I am not sure what to do about the biases. Right now I am just adjusting it by the average error for that layer. Is this correct?

A: It is similar to the bias gradient in standard neural networks but here we sum over all the gradients w.r.t convolution output:

where L is the loss function, w and h are the width and height of the conv output,  is the gradient of the conv output w.r.t the loss function.
Thus, the gradient of b is computed by summing all the convolution output gradients at each position (w, h) w.r.t the loss function L.
Hope this helps.

Saint Laurent's Teddy Jacket – Buying fake replicas VS the real thing
by Staffan
in Blog / Guides
One of the most popular varsity, bomber jacket is also the most difficult to replica. Here are your replica options, along with a comparison to the real thing.
Saint Laurent is a luxury fashion house well-known for its modern, edgier aesthetic. Seasonally, Saint Laurent delivers a wide range of clothing that the fans of the brand adore. For a date, a night out, or a business meeting; there is nothing quite like the style and coolness of Saint Laurent.
Saint Laurent's Teddy Jacket is one of the brand's most popular inventions. Its design is based on a classic varsity jacket. It has become one of the most popular silhouettes for both men and women from this brand. It is a part of Saint Laurent's permanent collection. Many celebrities have been seen wearing the Teddy Jacket from time to time. Since its launch, it has been worn by The Drums' lead singer Jonny Pierce, fashion model Hailey Baldwin, actress Hilary Duff, fashion model Gigi Hadid, actress Cara Delevingne, and many others. Teddy Jacket was initially sold in black and navy color, but since Spring 2017 it is available in new bright pink version. It also costs around $2,400.
SLP Teddy maintains the traditional sport-luxe appeal. It features supple leather trims to the shoulders and a heavier weight wool-blend. The jacket is stripped ribbing to the hem, cuffs, and collar. It is finished with press stud closure and has leather welt pockets to the front. Teddy Wool Bomber Jacket is exactly cut like a bomber but it also features varsity styling when it comes to the shoulders. The wool it is made of is lightweight and warm.
The retail version and its high-quality wool.
Teddy Jacket Replicas
Because of high demand and popularity of the YSL Teddy Jacket, many other fashion labels revisited it in their own ways. Apart from this, there are a variety of replicas available on the market as well. Mostly, the Teddy Jacket replicas are sold on online stores such as Taobao. You can get a SLP Teddy replica in a relatively cheaper price. The quality of the replicas varies depending on the price of the item. But none of them seem to match the retail version's high-quality.
Some consumers have purchased the replicas from Taobao and have posted their experience on Reddit. Most of them are quite impressed with the quality. According to them, the sizing of the Teddy Jacket Replica is about the same as the original one. However, there is a difference in fabric used. Although, the fabric used in replica is not as good as the one used in the original, it is still worth the price to many.

There are some high-quality replicas available on the market as well. You won't find any obvious flaws in them. Of course, there are some differences e.g. no SLP marking on the inside button, the inside pockets are a little different. You may find that the replica doesn't have fabric lining in the inside pockets while the original has a horizonal fabric lining on both sides. Apart from this, the neck opening is smaller when buttoned up. When it comes to leather, it is less creased as compared to the original. While there are certain differences between the original and replicas, the demand for Teddy Jacket Replicas is still very high.
It should be noted that Saint Laurent updated their jackets throughout the years, with less thick wool material. Some claim this is closer to the replicated versions.
The Best Replicas
It should be noted that it's unlikely you will ever get the same wool quality as the original retail version. While you might fool someone that your rep is real just by looking at it, the feel and texture can't be done using cheap materials. There's no getting around it, if you want pristine quality, you should buy the real thing.
1. Davie's Clock (DVSCLK) Taobao Teddy
Photos, info and where to buy.
At the price and being so close to the original, this is currently the best replica out there. It's a shame the buttons make such a loud ratting sound. You might be able to fix this yourself.
You can get this jacket custom tailored, at no extra cost. You can even pick colors. We tried it, asking for a 46 sized body with 48 arms and Davies provided what we asked for. A highly recommended feature as Teddy's tend to be difficult to fit with its boxy design.
The wool quality has a rich, rough touch to it. You can buy it here.
Medium thickness.
High quality wool texture.
Rough touch.
Owners of the retail version has said this is very close to the original.
Pocket placement, length of arms and general fit is very close to the retail jacket.
Custom fitted, where you can send in your measurements.
Davies claim they use in-house tailors, and not sweatshop workers.
Off-white stripes, but not cream colored as retail. Has promised to update this in the coming batches. Update: Davies has now fixed this, as all jackets going forward have the right colored stripes.
Rattling buttons.
3-4 weeks wait time.
The store has a low Taobao score and they don't accept returns unless there is a major quality issue.
Overall, it doesn't replicate the retail version perfectly. But no rep does.
Order it from Superbuy here.
2. Richchigga's Taobao Teddy
If you think $140 is a bit too much, this seems to be an alternative. Richchigga has generally a good reputation for their Saint Laurent copies.
It has the correct, off-white color to it.
Looks to be very close, if not the same batch, as David Clock's version.
I haven't had this in hand, which makes it difficult to guarantee anything.
3. Reondistrict's Teddy
This Reon version isn't considerably of much higher quality than the cheaper alternatives. Reon is known to be a bit more expensive than other Saint Laurent reps and this is no different.
Thick and heavy.
High quality wool texture close to the original.
Pocket placement, length of the arms and real leather details.
It's expensive while still not being perfect.
Button placements are slightly off.
Some reports claim it collects a lot of dust.
Mark Ronson makes the Teddy look spot on.
Other highlights.
The super cheap, Accord 25 Taobao Teddy
Pros: Incredibly cheap, with correct pocket placement.
Cons: Cheap materials, with a very wide fit, wrong arm length and it's likely not real leather.
Libety's mid-range priced Teddy
Update: Currently out of stock and Libety says it's not coming back anytime soon.
$122, Taobao link, Photos
Pros: Wool texture is of high-quality and very close to the retail version which is rare among the many replicas.
Cons: Some have complained about an ill fit according users on Reddit. Minor nitpicks like pocket and button placement. It's also known to collect dust easily.
Believe_jb's SLP Teddy Jacket
$133, WeChat user, Photos
Pros: Similar to Libety's version with high-quality wool.
Cons: Seller is only available through private chat and is known for delayed shipping. A member on Reddit says "The shape is too fat, also the pocket placement is a little too low. Arm length not long enough."
The "299 yuan batch SLP Teddy"
$47, Taobao link, Photos
Pros: Cheap, and has the grey variant available.
Cons: Wrong wool texture.
Other notable sellers
La Califfa, a seller which requires WeChat, is supposedly similar to the mid-range version. The replica community has also stated that a seller called Kappla used to sell the best version, but they've closed down. And we can now add Libety to the list of sellers who stopped carrying the Teddy replicas.
Rep FAQ
The rep seems bulky and too wide?
The Teddy is itself has a square fit to it, while according to many, should at the same time have a tight fit. It's not all too easy to make to pull this off when ordering online. Consider to always size down when ordering yours.
But always check the length of the arms as they should be considerably longer than the jacket itself.
Why should I buy the retail version when these are considerably cheaper?
While not getting into the ethics, and work labor conditions, you're not getting the same high quality wool texture or leather as YSL's official version. And if you live near a store you can easily pop in to find your size. It's especially difficult to order the Teddy online since the fit has such a unique look.
A$AP's Teddy fits like a glove.
The David's Clock version is your best choice when it comes to buying a fake Teddy at the moment. And then there's the more obvious choice, buying the real thing.

One of the major goals with the Rancher was to make it a better companion for recreation while not hurting its ability to work. We'd say that the Rancher is a bull's-eye. It is quick and nimble on trails with light steering whether there is EPS or not. The suspension honestly feels like there is more than 6. 7 inches on tap. We were able to push the pace and feel totally comfortable. For sure we felt the lack of IRS when we hit angled roots, logs or rock ledges, but overall the swingarm rear works pretty darn well.

Was it ever in any doubt? His Number Ones album shot right up into the top 30 the week following the airing of the documentary.
What he did was a crime (to those who believe he did it) but his music is loved globally and I doubt anything would ever change that.
Well, there has been a lot of focus on radio stations that have banned his records since the documentary aired but not much attention has been given to the fact that there is still huge demand for his music but that doesn't feed into the narrative that he was a paedophile.

I'm tired of radio stations dictating what we can and cannot listen to. Thank heavens for Spotify and other streaming sites.
I've been watching TOP OF THE POPS on BB4 for years, well, since they started airing it from 1979 and thanks to Jimmy Saville & Dave Lee Travis, we get episodes missing because they won't air the ones these two presented.

But really in this day and age, who depends on radio to listen to the music they like to hear. If I did that I wouldn't ever hear any of my favourite artists. Most radio stations, especially chart radio don't play anyone over about 35. If I listened to radio I wouldn't hear any Celine Dion, Madonna, Kylie etc. And it wouldn't be because they were paedophiles. Jackson just wouldn't be being played on big radio stations anyway. And I am sure Jackson fans already own everything he's ever done and have it there for all posterity. Kind of a big deal over nothing really. There are living, still recording, still touring acts that sell shit loads and don't get played on radio.

Q: File Download with SAP .Net Connector I am currently working with a SAP .NET Connector. I know, the new standard is webservices but the company I am working for does not provide these for now.
Connecting to the system and getting structure data is no problem at all. I just cannot find out how to checkout/download a file through the .net connector.
According to the companies specifications I have to use the BAPI "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW2" to get the files but no clue how to download them.
Does anybody have a bit of experience with downloading files from SAP? A small example would be very nice.
Thanks in advance

A: The BAPI the company mentions is just another function module (like your getting structure data).
You cannot directly retrieve files from SAP. The company may have the ability to save a file onto a shared location so you can retrieve the files from this location with .NET.
Hope this helps.

Dallas Observer Names Their Top 50 Red Dirt Texas Country Songs
Buddy Logan Published: February 18, 2015
This is one of those lists that I love to read, but am way too scared to ever write. It's so objective. What you like I might hate, and vice versa.
But, the folks at the Dallas Observer ain't a lil bitch like me. Amy McCarthy and Kelly Dearmore stepped up, (wo) manned up and made their picks of the Top 50 Red Dirt Texas Country Songs. And they did good.
10. "Vancouver" - Reckless Kelly
9. "Somewhere Down in Texas" - Jason Boland & The Stragglers
8. "Feet Dont Touch The Ground" - Brandon Jenkins
7. "Tonight's Not the Night (For Goodbye)" - Randy Rogers Band
6. "Seventeen" - Cross Canadian Ragweed
5. "Fifty Dollars And A Flask Of Crown" - Bleu Edmonson
4. "Carry On" - Pat Green
3. "Hometown" - Charlie Robison
2. "Down the Road Tonight" - Hayes Carll
1. "The Road Goes On Forever (And The Party Never Ends)" - Robert Earl Keen
What is so awesome, for me personally, about this list -- it's 70% songs that introduced me to Texas and Red Dirt music. I was spinnin' 'em on the radio when I was working radio part-time and going to college full-time way back in 2001.
Back when I was fresh off the boat from Idaho and had no idea who any these guys were. I was being schooled in "Texas Music" by burnt, mostly unlabeled CDs I got from friends. And it was AWESOME.
Explore the full Top 50 List.

The Lovell Haggadah
The Lovell Haggadah, infused with vibrant artwork and lively discussion questions and activities, represents the culmination of a seven-year journey of Jewish learning and art. Complete Hebrew text and contemporary egalitarian translation by author and illustrator Rabbi Matthew L. Berkowitz make this Haggadah accessible and inviting. The Lovell Haggadah will make you want to continue your seder far into the night.
Ordering The Lovell Haggadah
For the Soft Cover Edition of The Lovell Haggadah please contact the Schechter Bookstore.
For the Hard Cover Edition of The Lovell Haggadah, which is a perfect gift for the leader of the seder, a bar/bat mitzvah child or dedicating a new home, please contact Rabbi Matt Berkowitz directly. Special inscription by Rabbi Matt Berkowitz may be added to the Hard Cover Edition.
"If Rabbi Berkowitz had only written the text of this haggadah, its creativity and insight would have been sufficient – dayenu. Had he only created the illustrations, his artistry would have more than spoken for itself – dayenu. But it is the combination of these two creative arenas, interwoven and inseparable, that makes this haggadah different from any I have encountered … truly one of a kind. "
-Larry S. Moses
President, The Wexner Foundation
"Rabbi Berkowitz's artistic celebration of freedom inspires us to reflect on our history of exile and redemption and rededicate our commitment to Jewish survival."
-Jean Bloch Rosensaft
Director, Museum Exhibitions, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion
"… A visual feast. His strong lettering and vibrant images, his sensitive English rendering of the Hebrew text, and penetrating commentary appeal to the heart as much as to the mind. The artwork pulsates with landscapes of Israel, insights of midrash, and subtleties of the Hebrew language. Rabbi Berkowitz has praised God with every skill at his disposal …"
-Dr. Ismar Schorsch
Rabbi Herman Abramovitz Professor of Jewish History
Chancellor Emeritus, The Jewish Theological Seminary
"The Lovell Haggadah is a testament to the soaring places that the human imagination can touch when the heart combines devotion to text with devotion to esthetics. Rabbi Matthew Berkowitz of Boca Raton and Jerusalem is the illuminator, translator and commentator of this Haggadah. He is supremely talented. And we are the beneficiary of his talents. Rabbi Berkowitz provides three distinct entry points to the mystery and wonder of the seder experience for the user of this Haggadah: the book's liturgy, its artwork and commentary. Each is its own magical pathway to new thoughts and reflections on our participation in the story of the Exodus. The production values of the text are of a very high quality. The layout calls us to each page. The inter-relationships among space, illustration and text is pleasing and provocative. The cream colour and quality of the paper immediately set this Haggadah apart. Moreover, and perhaps especially, Berkowitz's drawings are bold and deeply evocative."
-Mordechai Ben-Dat
Editor, The Canadian Jewish News
Read the full review, "New Haggadot Arrivals", from The Canadian Jewish News, March 26, 2009
"The most impressive new haggadah of the year is by far The Lovell Haggadah...The Lovell Haggadah is profound, and aimed at the minds, the eyes, and the hearts of adults. The book is, first of all, a visual delight...Creator Rabbi Matthew Berkowitz provides discussion questions, allowing opportunities for the seder leader to encourage guests to truly think about the meanings of the oft-recited words. And he provides a number of projects for the children to do as well, so that they can feel part of the seder."

Find Your "Happy Place" with Modern Measure's New EP [INTERVIEW]
The diverse, five-track effort invites listeners to escape the constraints of everyday life.
Sarah Kocur
Atlanta-based live electronica duo Modern Measure showcase their raw, eclectic style in their new vibrant five-track EP, Happy Place. It's out now on STS9's very own 1320 Records.
Since joining forces in 2013, Modern Measure (comprised of Kyle Holly and Charlie Thornton) have been on a mission to bring their unique and masterfully crafted music to stages around the world. The two together have carved a well-deserved spot for themselves in the industry for their fusion of live instruments and boundary-pushing sound design. Their dedication to their craft has earned them the support of industry-leading talent like Big Gigantic, STS9, and SunSquabi.
With three full-length studio albums under their belt, the duo rounded out their impressive catalog with Happy Place. The five-track EP highlights a tasteful shift in their sound, from glitchy electronica to a more immersive, vivid soundscape with shimmering synths. Happy Place invites listeners to escape their day-to-day routine and explore the unknown depths of their imagination.
"Happy Place touches on all the genres that have resonated with me throughout my life and has created a true sound for Modern Measure," said Holly. "It's amazing as a musician to hear something in your head, then be able to sit down and put all of the sounds together to create what you envisioned. Making something out of nothing in this sense is a real Happy Place."
EDM.com got a chance to speak with the duo about the making of Happy Place, as well as their ever-developing sound. Check it out below:
EDM.com: Your hometown of Atlanta seems to be a major influential part of the Modern Measure's project. From an insider's perspective, what is the electronic scene in Atlanta like? How specifically has Atlanta influenced the way you produce and perform?
Modern Measure: "As life long musicians, Atlanta has always been an inspiring city, even before we moved here. When we were growing up in Alabama, we would come to Atlanta often to see concerts of all genres. One of the most inspirational & life-changing shows happened to both of us in Atlanta, and that was STS9 at the Tabernacle for their 2006 NYE run. We knew at that moment what career path we wanted to follow. However, we didn't personally know each other then. It wasn't until 2009 that we met in Auburn on one of Big Gigantic's first tours. Kyle spent a few years in college at Auburn University playing in his livetronica band and moved to Atlanta in 2011 because of the electronic scene. Charlie moved to Atlanta shortly after in 2012. It's a popular genre in ATL and one of the largest scenes in the country so that was appealing. Whenever we play in Atlanta, there's a certain approach to the show. We know what to do, and what not to do. I think a lot of that comes with having seen so many different shows in ATL over the years. Atlanta is a bass city, with roots deep in Hip Hop. That vibe and heavy bass feel is something that is special to us. We always try to have some knocking bass on the tracks."
You guys have 3 full-length albums, it's evident by your extensive, and equally impressive, discography you guys put in major work in the studio. How's a normal studio session look to you guys?
"Studio time is the most important time that a producer/musician can have in our opinion. Some of the first releases we put out took a long time to make. We were still learning a lot about producing music between 2013-2016. Since then, the process has become far more efficient. Kyle will start an idea by putting sounds together, save it to the dropbox, and then we'll collaborate on it. Charlie will also start ideas, and send them Kyle's way. It's a strong collaborative effort. Cherry Blossom, the single from Happy Place, is an organic collaboration that we started together in the spring of this year, with ATL based producer Daily Bread playing the bass guitar parts. Overall, we're constantly working on new ideas, no matter who begins writing the track."

By Jarett Lopez Jan 30, 2023
So we know Happy Place is about escaping the sometimes harsh realities of day-to-day life, besides producing music what are some ways you guys find your Happy Place?
"Sports, nature, traveling, live shows from our fellow artist friends, and good food are the keys to our Happy Place. Kyle is a huge Atlanta sports fan as well as Auburn fan. Charlie is a big Alabama Crimson Tide fan, so we both enjoy having that outlet to follow. Growing up in Alabama, you're either an Auburn fan or an Alabama fam. We're a 'house divided', haha."
Were there any special or funny moments while producing any of the songs featured on the EP that specifically come to memory?
"One thing that comes to mind was how fun it was working on 'Field Trip.' It was January of this year and was so cold that month. We locked ourselves in the lab, and recorded a lot of the guitar, MOOG synth bass parts, and laid out the groundwork for the track. It was the perfect way to start the year 2019 in the studio.
'Blazer' started with the recording of my cat's meow, so that's pretty funny. The meow was in the natural key of B Minor, so the track was written in the key of B Minor. However, the cat meow audio sample was removed from the track. Just funny to think that's how that one came to fruition.
'Say Word' and 'Geisha' were produced on Kyle's laptop and at his home studio and were the first two tracks written for the EP. These two set the overall tone and feel for Happy Place."
Aside from the Happy Place EP, what do you want listeners to get out of listening to your music? What's the experience/feelings you're trying to evoke with live performance?
"We put our hearts into the music, so I think listeners will feel that emotion. A lot of the music has an uplifting feel, so we think that is easily conveyed. We just want people to leave the shows feeling happy, feeling better than when they walked in the room, and to help us share the message with other fellow music listeners and concert-goers. It's about having a positive experience overall. That's most important to us. "

Connecting in Real Time: Some Thoughts on Sentence Structure
One of my favorite paintings is Landscape with Fall of Icarus, by Pieter Breughel. In the foreground is a farmer's field on a seaside cliff, and a farmer plowing the field behind a horse. In the middle ground, on the right, a big merchant ship is sailing on a beautiful blue-green sea in the direction of a crowded port city. In the background, other tall ships sail across the sea.
If you've never seen this painting before, you may wonder why it's called Landscape with Fall of Icarus. It's obviously a landscape (or a landscape/seascape). But what does Icarus have to do with hit? If you keep looking, however, you'll see a little splash near the bottom-right corner of the scene, not far from that big merchant ship. And you'll see two legs sticking up out of the water.
Then a whole story unfolds…or, perhaps, a commentary on a story you already know. Remember Icarus? His father Daedalus made wings of feathers and wax so the two of them could escape imprisonment. Daedalus warned the boy not to fly too close to the sun. But Icarus was young and brash and convinced that he was invincible, so he flew ever closer to the sun until the wax on his wings melted, and he plummeted into the ocean.
This painting depicts that moment when Icarus has fallen, and he's about to disappear forever under the waves. But he hasn't disappeared yet. And nobody in that scene is paying one lick of attention. The sailors go on sailing, and the farmer goes on farming, and the horse—well, he goes on being a horse, thinking his horsey thoughts, entirely oblivious to the fact that this incredible, earth-shattering, literally mythic thing has has just happened. (W.H. Auden famously wrote a poem about this painting, called "Musee des Beaux Arts."
How are we able to get all that out of one painting? How are we able to make all those connections?
We can make those connections because the painting sits still for us. It's not going anywhere. Take your time. Keep looking. See what appears. See what comes together for you.
You've seen the people in the museum who just stand in front of a painting for fifteen minutes, half an hour, maybe longer? Maybe you've been one of those people. A visual artist—a painter or sculptor—creates a beautiful thing. And that thing just sits there. It waits patiently. Hopefully people come to it and look long and hard at it. And the longer they look, the more they see. It's as if the painter or sculptor has made something that stands outside of time.
But writers don't have that luxury.
Language can't stand still. It has to move through time. One word has to make way for the next word, and that word has to make way for the word after that. And your reader is trying to catch each word as it moves past, and hold it long enough to place it in relation to the next words that are coming right behind it.
When you listen to a person speak or read a written sentence, your brain holds each word as it disappears and starts looking for something to connect it to.
Take the first sentence of Don Quixote, for instance.
Somewhere in la Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those who has a lance and ancient shield on a shelf and keeps a skinny nag and a greyhound for racing.
Your brain sees, "Somewhere in la Mancha," and it says to itself, adverbial phrase…hold on to that. We'll know what it means when we get to the verb.
Then your brain sees, "in a place," and it says to itself, another adverbial phrase…hold on to that one too. The verb is coming.
When you get to that clause "whose name I do not care to remember," your brain says, ok…that's an adjective clause. That connects to the noun place right in front of it. It tells which kind of place…but we still don't know what those adverbials modify…
Then you come to "a gentleman," and your brain says, Aha! A subject. The verb can't be far behind… And then, at last, the verb, "lived," and your brain knows what to do with those adverbials it has been holding in suspension.
It's astonishing, isn't it? Your brain is constantly working like that, in real time, holding onto phrases and clauses until it knows where to connect them. It's a miracle that it happens at all. Loving your reader requires that you help her along with those connections and not make it any harder than it has to be.
You can stare at a painting all day long until its secrets reveal themselves. The painting isn't going anywhere. But a sentence is always going somewhere. A sentence moves, and your reader has to keep up with it.
A painter hopes a viewer will stand still and stare at his painting and make connections. You don't want your reader to have to do that. Actually, very few readers will stare. If those connections are too much work, they'll just move on. And who can blame them?
Clear grammar and sentence structure are all about feeding your readers information in such a way that their brains can make all the necessary connections between sentence parts in more or less the amount of time it takes for their eyes to scan from left to right. If you slow your reader down with sentence structures that require any mental effort to parse, you need do have a good reason. (And, for the record, "I just like the way it sounds" isn't a good enough reason.)
I know I've shared each of the following four rules before—and I may have even shared them all together—but they bear repeating. If you grasp these rules, you will be able to avoid many of the structural flaws that make it hard for readers to connect the parts of your sentences in real time:
Think where the action is in every sentence, and treat it as your default to express the action as a verb and the actor as the subject of that verb.
Get to the subject early in your sentence, and get to the main verb soon after that.
Keep modifiers close to the words they modify.
When you use a pronoun, be sure its antecedent is clear. It is better to repeat the antecedent than to be vague.
These aren't the only important guidelines for sentence structure, of course, but they represent a good start on a philosophy of sentence construction.
Your reader can handle tremendous complexity. Human brains are wired for it. Nevertheless, the considerate thing—the thing that will keep your reader reading—is to organize that complexity in such a way that your reader doesn't even think about the fact that she is processing complex ideas and images.

The Psychology Of Pretend Information
Our group at Neil Patel Digital has a group of experts which are extremely skilled in creating Instagram posts that drive visitors and increase engagement. We can now agree that purchasing faux followers isn't going to get you Instagram success, and can solely have an effect on your potential adversely. Hence, you won't earn any income regardless of spending some severe cash on rising your fake followers' listing. If you're an influencer, your primary job is influencing your followers' behavior and possibly steering them to buy products from brands with whom you share affiliate partnerships. You have the choice to choose how fast you want the bot to work the place you'll follow different Instagram customers, who will then check out your account and offer you a follow. More so, as a end result of the Instagram algorithm is updated often to weed out low-quality and pretend accounts and interactions.
The coach eschewed the club's earlier approach of signing well-known players to draw massive crowds by specializing in producing extra of their own youth players and bringing in transfers from the lower leagues, and that change led to their first main trophy, on the 12 months of their fiftieth anniversary. Drake is liable for changing the membership's badge to the picture of the "lion rampant regardant," which stays to today. He also modified the club's nickname to "the Blues" once they beforehand had been known as "the pensioners" because of the retired British Army veterans who reside on the nearby Royal Hospital Chelsea. When autocomplete results can be found burn up and down arrows to evaluation and enter to select. "This lady is basically doing one thing fairly dreadful to Britain and Harry has fallen in love together with her in a daft way and has gone alongside as her confederate," he added. "This book may hasten the downward pattern, to which I would not be sad in any respect because they pose an actual threat to the royal family," Bower mentioned.
There is sadly no easy fix for making functions reliable, scalable, or maintainable. However, there are specific patterns and methods that maintain reappearing in numerous sorts of applications. In the following few chapters we'll take a look at some examples of knowledge techniques and analyze how they work toward those objectives. For instance, high-level programming languages are abstractions that hide machine code, CPU registers, and syscalls.
On December 15, 2015, Facebook introduced in a press launch that it might be providing a compromise to its actual name policy after protests from groups such as the gay/lesbian community and abuse-victims. The web site is developing a protocol that can enable members to supply specifics as to their "particular circumstance" or "distinctive state of affairs" with a request to use pseudonyms, subject to verification of their true identities. Product supervisor Todd Gage and vice president of global operations Justin Osofsky also promised a model new method for reducing the variety of members who must go through ID verification whereas guaranteeing the safety of others on Facebook.
