Certain aspects of the Service may be provided for a fee or other charge. For example, the Service may allow you to purchase certain items listed on the site or through an affiliate. While MR has an ecosystem of manufacturing and logistics partners for procurement and fulfillment, both physically and digitally, MR does not retain full control of the end-to-end process from order to fulfillment. As such, MR does not, and cannot, promise or guarantee that all items submitted for order will be fulfilled or delivered within any particular timeframe. MR Parties (as defined below) reserve the right to reject any request for orders, including if MR deems in its sole discretion that the requested order or items to be fulfilled has been executed using inappropriate or unlawful means.
Further, if you elect to use paid features of the Service, you agree to the pricing and payment terms for the applicable transaction, as we may update them from time to time. MR may add new items for sale or order or services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing items for sale or services, at any time in its sole discretion. We may also provide certain items for sale or pre-sale or services via our third party partners and you agree, that your use of such third party services is subject to the contractual (including payment) terms presented by such third parties should you wish to use their services. You further agree that MR has no responsibility for such third party services and your use of such services is entirely at your own risk.
If at any time MR is required by a taxing authority to pay any taxes not previously collected from you, you will promptly submit such taxes (including applicable penalties and interest, if any) to MR upon written notice.
Delinquent payments may bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half percent per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by MR in collecting delinquent amounts, except where the delinquent amounts are due to billing inaccuracies.
You acknowledge and agree that MR may, following the order period, ship your Items using third party vendors or shipping facilities. However, MR cannot control the actions of any such third parties. Accordingly, none of the MR Parties (as defined below) assumes any responsibility, and shall not be liable for, any damages related to the shipping, handling, or storage of the Items. MR is not responsible for damages arising out of any loss, alteration or damage to the Item, except if caused by MR's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Friday of week 2 of Lent – First Reading
Commentary on Gen 37:3-4, 12-13, 17-28
There is a strong parallel between the stories of Joseph and Jesus made in today's readings. In both cases the words quoted from Psalm 118 apply: "It was the stone rejected by the builders that became the keystone." Joseph is the favourite of Jacob's twelve sons, the sons who would later become the patriarchs of God's people. His brothers became jealous of him and grew to hate him. They hated him even more for the dreams he told. In one of these he said he had a vision of the family bringing in the harvest. In the dream, all his brother's sheaves bowed down before Joseph's sheaf. This, of course, did happen later when the brothers came to Egypt during a time of famine in search of food. Unknown to them at first, Joseph was the grand vizier of Egypt in whose presence they paid homage. In today's reading, when Joseph, at the instructions of the father, went to visit his brothers in the fields, they conceived a plot to kill him. However, one of the brothers, Reuben, intervened and suggested instead that Joseph be thrown down a dry well, hoping to give him back to their father later. Reuben was the eldest son but later fell out of favour for committing incest with his father's concubine. Judah subsequently took over leadership of the family. The other brothers agreed to Reuben's suggestion because they did not want to have the blood of their own brother on their hands. Perhaps they remembered what happened to Cain. Eventually Joseph is either sold to Ishmaelites on their way to do business in Egypt or discovered in the well by Midianites and sold for 20 pieces of silver to traders on their way to Egypt. In later times, this sum was the value of a male of Joseph's age who had been dedicated to the Lord (see Lev 27:5). The father is later told that his son has died from an attack by animals and is given back, as proof, the famous multi-coloured coat stained with (goat's) blood. Joseph should have ended up in obscurity as a slave in Egypt but, thanks to his ability to interpret dreams, he was to win the favour of the Pharaoh and become the chief minister in Egypt and ultimately the saviour of his own people from famine – a famine which Joseph had foretold and helped to prepare for. The story prepares us for the coming of Jesus, who is clearly the son in the parable which features in today's Gospel. Jesus, too, was a man of 'dreams', with a vision of life which was rejected by many close to him. He, too, was sold into the hands of enemies only, precisely because of that, to become the saviour of his own people. Both Joseph and Jesus are, in the words of Psalm 118, the "stone rejected by the builders that became the keystone."

Do you believe in magic? There are many law of attraction practitioners who have to equate the results of their manifestation to magic. Is the law of attraction truly magic?
You will be surprised to find that there are huge similarities between the two. While a magician is at his tricks, he places a strong focus and strong visualization on what he wants to happen. Likewise, when you are practising the law of attraction, you will also place a strong focus and strong visualization on what you want to manifest into your life. So now you know that both magic and the law of attraction share the same basic principle which is "Focus" and "Visualization".
Irrespective of what magic means to you, having everything you want in life is your birthright and it needs your focus and visualization to make them happen!

color test apps _payment service app
There is a platform where you get paid by testing apps.Now you would be thinking what is he saying.Now let me give you a clear vision.AT playstore there are alot of apps which dont get enough popularity due to some reasons.Now all you got to do is test those apps and just get paid for that.
As with any application, Mobile application testing is also very important, as the clientele is usually in millions for a certain product – and a product with bugs is never appreciated. It often results in monetary losses, legal issue, and irreparable brand image damage.
WhatUsersDo offers three to five tests per month and pays $5 per test. You will be able to test new websites and even existing websites that are undergoing improvements. Payments are made the 25th of every month via PayPal and you can earn additional cash by participating in quarterly competitions and offers.
Receipt Hog. The Receipt Hog app is similar to the iBotta app but simpler to use. Essentially, it rewards you for snapping pictures of your grocery store receipts from your smartphone, as well as taking surveys on your shopping experience. You earn "coins," which you can redeem for cash or donate to the charity of your choice. Does it sound too good to be true? It's not, as the folks behind Receipt Hog make money by sharing gathered information with consumer brands. Your personal information stays anonymous and is not sold to third parties. (Available on iPhone and Android)
You can only search in Google, and there are a lot of Android apps that pay you to use them. But most of the android apps are not up to remark or in another word most companies after completing the work, they delay our payments and sometimes they won't send you the payment at all.
Android and iOS users can earn gift cards, airline miles, magazine subscriptions and more for completing 15- to 20-minute surveys. After downloading the app, you'll tell the app a little about yourself to help iPoll match you to future surveys. Complete as few or as many questionnaires as you like, but the more you participate, the more you earn.
The Panel App has a 4.1 star average in the Google Play store, made up from 17,680 reviews. In the iTunes store, it has 13 ratings and a 4.5 star average. Some users have reported that the app works better now, which makes sense as the app developer updated it to fix some bugs.
My experience with pricing a sponsorship is to prove ROI. Let's say Mercedes Benz is going to sponsor your Flashlight app – you show them how many users they reach X avg value per user. Add some other premium costs and there's your answer.
Many have made it known how great the app is, because they can literally just go to the end of their street, scan a few codes, and score extra money all the time. The best part is that you don't have to scan a receipt — like with Receipt Hog — it's all about the bar code label. If you just scan that you get your reward — you don't even need to pay for anything!
Process will not trump skills, but it can be a force multiplier for it. A strong process allows creativity to flourish. Instead of brainpower and energy being dedicated to the common, somewhat more mundane elements of an app, those items are simply known. They become checklists to follow. They are formulaic, so that the special parts of the app and key features can really be sharpened.
Though there's a lot of negative hype concerning the first hurdle, developers generally say that getting their app approved isn't the struggle it's made out to be. Apple's standards for apps do restrict some racy and pornographic content, and the company excludes apps that, in its view, do not enhance the iPhone experience or that duplicate existing iPhone features. When it comes to fresh, inventive content, however, most apps are readily approved.
Here are five key factors to developing a winning mobile app testing strategy that will ensure that your quality assurance activities align with customer expectations, business goals, and industry best practices.
QuickThoughts Missions relies on your input — and sneakily-taken cellphone photography — to give businesses important feedback. And like any respectable P.I., you get paid for your investigative footwork.
With hosting events MAKE SURE you get event insurance that covers "bump in" and "bump out" periods as well as the event itself. Brendan Burchard tells the story about how he was sued into bankruptcy from an event he hosted and someone injured themselves during setup and he had no insurance.
EasyShift works by assigning you "shifts" in the area around you. This typically includes talking taking a photo of a menu or a certain dish and taking a small survey afterward. Most of the time these tasks take just under a few minutes.
Including manual testing scenarios and interoperability testing are very important when it comes to mobile application testing strategy. When testing a mobile application, the testing team ought to test the various events which may occur when the application is being executed – Incoming calls, SMSs, low battery, alerts such as emails and roaming. Lately, along with growing technologies, mobile users also take advantage of location-based and voice related apps – these rely on much more sophisticated use cases, which can also be tested manually.
The biggest complaints all have to do with technical issues — the company has always paid out to its user and there are many payment proofs on the Web for them. However, it is clear that errors come up again and again when using the app.
Smartnancials is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
As we have seen what is Frank in our Last post, let us see what are pros and cons of using Frank for iOS Test Automation: PROS Test scenarios can be written by non-technical team members, in understandable English sentences, with the aid of Cucumber framework. Symbiote – Live inspection tool is included. […]
AppTrailers is a little more fun, and it rewards you purely for watching video trailers. The cool thing is that you will actually be shown trailers of real mobile apps. So you will find some interesting apps you might want to buy or download for free out of the experience.
1. What They Do With Your Data: Find out what kind of data is collected, how that data is used, how long the company retains it and whom the company shares it with, Mr. Bischoff said. "Giving up your privacy to a data-collection company should not be done lightly," he warned. "Both iOS and Android alert users when an app asks for a new permission." That might be permission to access your location, photos or contacts, for example. "Think about whether that permission is really necessary for the app to work or if it's just using that permission to mine more personal data," he said.

I have oily hair and thought tis would cut through the oils but not so much. I need a clarifying type. Does get my hair clean but by the afternoon my hair is all droopy so not for me.
ilike it and it smells good.
I have been using last couple of years and I'm happy with it.
I love it , I'm growing new hair , getting longer . I've took before and after pic's with the first and second bottle , to bad I can't post them .I've only used it 4 months . I will continue until March hopefully they will be a big difference .
I love it I see a little difference after a week already hair is not as dry and brittle more shiny and less hair falling out due to hormone changes . Would recommend and smells minty and good .
I bought this shampoo and conditioner for my dry frizzy hair and after I used it for the first time I was very satisfied with my healthy looking hair. I will definitely continue to buy this product and will recommend it to everyone.
Great for dandruff and cleaning your scalp!!!
Majorly helped my thinning hair over time!
Best Shampoo for thinning hair. I have been using it for about 18 months. My hair stopped falling out! At my last hair appointment my hair dresser said I should be a commercial for this shampoo! She can't believe how much my hair has improved! I just got some for my mom after she commented how great my hair looked!
I was real disappointed in this product. It wouldn't suds up and I didn't like how it made my hair feel oily afterwards. I ended up mixing it with another bottle of shampoo I already had to get rid of it.
Love this shampoo! Big help with thinning hair!
I really love this shampoo because it's organic and has no harsh ingredients to damage my hair. Since I've been using this I have noticed my hair seems to be fuller, thicker and healthier. I was looking for a shampoo to fix my thinning hair problem. I was using another product that was for thinning hair but found out it had ingredients that caused more damage to my hair. I was so pleased to find this product after doing an online search on the GNC website.
My girlfriend bought this product for her and I, after reading all the positive comments. We gave it about 3 or 4 tries, but neither of us found the product could live up to the positive comments on this board. My girlfriend has straight, thick hair, and I have straight thin hair. We both came to the same conclusion, this product leaves your hair oily and clumpy, so much so that when you comb through it you are pulling out hair follicles. Buy at your own risk.
I use this shampoo every 2nd day. Controls the greasy look for days!! I love the texture of my hair. Has increased volume and quality of my hair. My favorite shampoo of all times. Will buy again and again!
I love this product because I have thick hair and I sometimes get bad breakage. With this shampoo and its conditioner my hair is not breaking off like it was. It has become stronger and shinier. I love it! I will definitely continue to but this product!
This shampoo is great. It makes my hair very soft and healthy looking.
I used this shampoo daily for a week or so. It's good, but didn't "wow" me. I would consider buying it again, though. It does have a very nice, fresh smell and did not dry my hair out. I did not have to use a conditioner.
This product cleanses the hair and scalp. The hair feels really clean after 2 shampoos. I have african american hair (not mixed) and my hair is stronger just after 2 uses. I would recommend purchasing the Aloe Vera Conditioner by Mill Creek. This will help to detangle and soften the hair making it easier to comb. Make sure you purchase a wide tooth comb because you want to comb through the hair while the conditioner is still in. I purchased a foil conditioning cap for deep conditioning. I leave it on for 15 minutes and oh my.....after I rinse the conditioner out it feels sooooooo good.
I shampoo daily. I tried the 'no poo' method for a couple of months, but my wide-toothed comb always got dirty even right after no-pooing. Wanted a natural product with no parabens or mineral oil or other nasty chemicals. This is the greatest shampoo I have ever used. I highly recommend this shampoo.
Great product I'll keep on buying!
A friend recommended this shampoo from GNC. Now I purchase four at a time just to "stock up." I have extemely dry hair and this product seems to perk it up throughout the day. The only con I can think of is that the bottle are too small.
I use this shampoo every three days and co-wash between washing with my biotin shampoo. Over the past month my brittle hair has become stronger, healthier and thicker. Even my scalp feels healthier. If you have problems with alopecia this is a good product to use to save whats left of your hair and to get your problem areas stimulated for growth.
Wonderful product; one of the VERY best.
This product is by far one the very best i've ever used. My hair is healthier/stronger and fuller after just 3 uses. Haven't tried the conditioner as yet, but i certainly will, very soon. I will be purchasing this product again and, certainly recommend it to others.
I have used this shampoo as well as the conditioner for the past three years now and I am VERY GRATEFUL for this product. In the past I had shedding, thinning, breakage and very brittle hair. I began the process by taking the biotin vitamins, however, the vitamins did not work well for me. A sales person at the GNC store told me about the shampoo/conditioner; and I am so glad she did. My hair has grown tremendously, is very healthy. People constantly comment on how great my hair looks. I HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone who is experiencing hair problems. After all ladies "Our hair is our crowning glory"....You will not be disappointed.
I love this shampoo. It is really the most convenient way for me to show my hair and scalp that I care for their condition. I don't wash my hair very often because it is dry for the most part. Only once or twice a week, unless something comes up and I need to move around that. When I do lather up however, my scalp feels a delightful and cool tingle. Just after I rinse out the shampoo however, my hair feels dry on my fingers. Easy solution however just deep condition afterward or use a moisture-rich conditioner.
I love this product! It doesn't have any Sodium Lauryl Sulfate which is exactly what I was looking for. That is the stuff that makes regular shampoo bubble up so much but its not really needed and bad for your hair. I can actually feel the difference with this shampoo. I ran out and had to use my old shampoo and it was awful! My scalp my sensitive and itchy so I quickly ran out and got some more biotin shampoo!
I bought it because of its ingredients. I've been searching shampoo for not having SLS, and a lot of products dont't have it but not very good to use. This one has very natural fragrance(maybe not very good smell for some people)and very easy to wash my hair. I feel very comfortable and fresh. Definitely I will buy it again.
I wanted to try something different..A shampoo and conditioner that would grow my hair out longer before the summer comes...And it Works!!
I bought this shampoo in hopes of finding finally a good shampoo for my fine/thinning hair and did! This shampoo has a great smell and a tingling feeling on scalp. Gives hair great volume. I loved it so much a bought a bottle for my mom.
I really like this shampoo. It adds nice body and shine to my hair, and I love that it is natural too!
This shampoo feels great on my scalp and makes my hair look full and shiny. I love that the ingredients are natural too.
Just want to know, does this product-line carry a leavi-in conditioner?
BEST ANSWER: Mill Creek Botanicals makes a conditioner that you leave in for 1 to 2 minutes then rinse out or, for intense conditioning, leave in for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing out. They don't, however, make any leave-in conditioners. GNC does carry the Biotin conditioner, item #421006.
is this shampoo safe for colored hair?
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I do color my hair.
Is this product completely organic?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, this shampoo is completely organic.
Does this product work for low porosity 4a hair type and textures?
BEST ANSWER: This product works to restore the nutrients in all types of hair. I and other friends love this shampoo and conditioner, we all have our hair back. It did take about 3 months for me to get my hair back and one friend 4 months. It does work if you give it time, plus take the biotin vitamin.
What's the vitamin you use with it?
Is the shampoo and conditioner color safe?
Can I purchase mill creek botanicals biotin shampoo at gnc store?
Is this good to help with hair fall?
BEST ANSWER: I'm not actually sure if it regrows hair but it seems to help thicken hair as you use it. My hair was much thinner before I started using it and it has gotten thicker with use. I've used this biotin shampoo for about a year now and I'm happy with the results I've gotten. My husband and daughter use it also and they say their hair is much thicker than before they used it.
Does this shampoo have sulphur in it?
BEST ANSWER: You can access the label online and will be able to read that sulphur does not appear as an ingredient.
This shampoo is free of sulfur!
What is the container for the product:glass bottle or plastic bottle?
Do they make this product in bigger bottles?
Does this help with Alopecia?
BEST ANSWER: Yes it does help along with biotin 10000mcg. The shampoo is now infused with argon oil which is helpful in fighting Alope is back to the shampoo and conditioner it is very mild so it doesn't weigh down your hair and promote the look of thick and healthy hair. It works for me and I think it can work for you.
Can I buy a shampoo by site and pick up it at a closer GNC store?


Graham Repulski's world of sound crosses sonic sparsity into the tangled debris of civilizations clamor. Catchy songs colliding genres into the singularity that is this prolific artist. High On Mt. Misery delivers well crafted tracks fueled on espresso filled evenings where talent and thought blur into the late hours. Graham has developed his own path and this cd leaves bread crumbs for us to follow and listen.
Check it out on bandcamp. In an edition of fifty and available for purchase.
This is an introductory post for the German Label, Cosmic Winnetou, and the awesome new vinyl batch. This is a diverse collection of artists and sounds and each record is solid for many future listens. If you have not ordered a copy of any of these records, they are unfortunately sold out from the label. But fortunately, i think a shipment will be arriving at Tomentosa in the near future. You will need to keep an eye on emails from Josh or just go to his site. Not sure how many he will have in the inventory, but i am sure they will sell out. Most all of the Cosmic Winnetou releases are gone. These being the first from the label on vinyl and more incredibly, super sweet recordings, they will not last long.
I have put some words down for each lp and have the quick links here with sound samples.
When i ordered my copies of the new vinly batch from Cosmic Winnetou, Günter sent me six copies of this 7" for a series of events called "Singles Club". He indicated the organizers are heavy into the 7" format and they are releasing one for each event. This is the third in this series of four and this is Guenter Schlienz's contribution for the ongoing affair. Here is a link Günter sent for the event.
This is an extremely beautiful recording resting in the world of the most simple sounds. Consisting of two well titled tracks, "Ship" and "Horn". Forays into sublime tones creating picturesque soundscapes for your mind. Listening out onto the ocean, dense with moisture and the winds absent at night. Your ears tell the story, eyes useless as the feelings settle in. Ambient excellence in the vein of Eno's late seventies early eighties series of four records.
I would like to give five of these copies away and keep one for myself! This is generosity and thoughtfulness straight from Cosmic Winnetou and it's curator Günter. Lost In A Sea of Sound is merely the conduit and facilitator. Both label and blog site want to say thank you for the support!
Cascading water, wind whipping around drooping palms, E Jugend plays like this, with a dense flow of musical current. Touching all sound genres like kids playing duck duck goose. There is a classic playfulness to History Works and this surfaces immediately, remaining present the length of the recording.
The instruments seem to vary tremendously as the record plays though. Guitar, base, violin, drums, keyboards and even some sampling. Everything with delicate touches when needed and pushed tiny bits when wanted. These tracks play like snack time for the mind. Going in every direction, but not so far as not to be able to hear the source anymore. History Works binds itself to a core making the album an extraordinary composition of works.
If you need sounds to push the thresholds of conventional music but still want to hear melodies and good composition, E Jugend can drive the needle for you. This batch of Cosmic Winnetou releases with black jackets and glued on information remind me of old Folkways records. This E Jugend lp especially with the tremendous approach in diversity of music, even starts to sound like a lost Folkways record. Maybe one day someone will find one of these at a thrift store and be absolutely blown away!
There is an album i listened to all of the time and History Works reminded me a little of it. This is the Books "Lost and Safe". But as soon as i wrote this the music changed and i thought of Amps for Christ "The Oak in the Ashes". I do not know if these comparisons help, because E Jugend has crafted an album i might one day use a basis for comparing other works to. There is a beauty to the diversity, sparsity and timing of this record that will captivate me for years to come.
Out on the newest batch from Cosmic Winnetou out of Germany. One of three in the first of the labels venture to the vinyl format. Excellent timing to explore records on all three of these releases. They are all deserving. Released in a run of one hundred. Sold out from the label in only a few weeks. Josh hopefully will have some copies at Tomentosa. Keep a watch.
Where did delta blues go? Trains to Chicago and guitars that could be powered up. BLUMSTER has hints of this forgotten style, but in product or by-product, these hints are more haunting echoes of the past. Maybe it is just the first few tracks with the slide on the fat strings or the feelings of sometimes melancholy that connects my thoughts to the blues when listening to this. Trikorder 23 is far from one genre and moves forward into modern composition utilizing strings of all flavors and varying tempos.
BLUMSTER is delivered with ultimate patience. A work of art in slide guitar style on the minor side. Somewhere between blues, jazz and avant-garde, Trikorder 23 is extremely skilled and the sounds touch on so many levels. One listen sounds smooth and sweet, but hearing the record again starts to reveal the complexity of the composition. There is so much consideration behind all of the tracks. This carries over making BLUMSTER exemplary for thinking and reflecting on the sphere we reside on. The realms of happiness and sorrow are simultaneously touched upon. With almost every track feelings and thoughts are pushed to tangle, but beauty remains a constant throughout.
I could throw out the comparison many eclectic guitar based artists are held around. Those times are gone. Trikorder 23 sets the markers down again. With this talent and creativity, this record is simply new and unbridled. Play in the tuning that sounds good to you, be it happy or sad, it is natural and arrives never contrived and always telling.
A Cosmic Winnetou release in February of 2016 on vinyl! Only one hundred of these to go around. Sold out from the label, but should be available at Tomentosa soon. Keep an eye out. This is a really nice release.
Contemplative notes executed in tempo with natural surroundings. As the breeze gently moves small branches on the trees or a small bird forages for food on the forest floor, the music of Book of Dreams stays in perfect rhythm. Lushness in synthesizer tuned to our inner most harmonies. Fragrant melodies beckoning to be savored by enlightened consciousness.
Guenter Schlienz's Book of Dreams plays sweet and serene. Shaping the listener's thoughts to realize and evaluate there is depth in every direction. This record helps us understand; By slowing down and listening, there is so much more to the world around us. This seems heavy, and at times Book of Dreams dives deeper than the ears can really hear. I think this correlates to how much feeling and thought Guenter Schlienz has embodied in this recording and how much skill he has accumulated over creating such a vast discography.
Every track on Book of Dreams plays like a well written chapter (that was an easy line to write!). The pace is steady throughout and the diversity is immense. Explorations in synthesizer bounded by weightlessness of deep meditation and a rapid assortment of unhinged thoughts. Within this spectrum, Guenter Schlienz's composition arrives with notes and melodies that will truly inspire the love of enjoying music.
This is nourishment for all who listen and should be shared with friends and family. The entire record will live in motions of flipping over and over on the turntable platter. This is in an edition of one hundred and was released in February of 2016. There were twenty five of the one hundred on red vinyl as well. Both colors sold out from Cosmic Winnetou label. Keep an eye on Tomentosa and maybe discogs at some point.
These sounds have limited or almost no attachment to earthly constraints. Made in tones defying gravity or just so light their molecules only gently move upward. Channelers hovers in patterns, almost motionless, heat radiating from the core, causing small fluctuations to stand out. This cassette titled Essex is the second on the Inner Islands label, the other, only a year old and sold out in physical form.
Six tracks timing in at almost forty minutes, Essex has the content to float your consciousness far from the body. Soothing synthetic currents move deep in the river's flow of sound, while sparkling notes swirl and turn like eddies on the aural surface. The background of tranquilizing undertones take hold of your body inducing parallelization. The willow wisps of sound in the foreground pull your interested mind along. This duality in approach to composition causes the recline of your physical self and triggers thoughts and introspection. This is some good stuff!
Yes, this is a perfect Inner Islands release. There are one hundred of these produced. They will sell out, so there is the same question again. With so much good music out there, the sampling we do has to resonate at higher vibrations. Hopefully reading words in the form of descriptions will help, but i find taking a second listen at a different time, is the biggest ally in discovering music that works for me. If you listen to Essex at the right time, it will find a home.
Some music is grandiosely beautiful like Henry Purcell's "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary" and other music is simply beautiful like this cassette by softest titled "six wishes". I have listened to the entire tape multiple times through, and am continually encouraged by how humble and thoughtful these tracks are. Ambient, drone or what ever you want to classify it as, six wishes moves splendidly through and imparts tones of veiled beauty.
Braden McKenna, the musician behind softest, has dialed down his other projects fuzzed out sounds of fusing consciousness and environment. His activity as "softest" tunes into an ethereal world of wishes. These tracks coincide with synthetic breezes and gentle beats of rain in the early morning. The tones connect through the cerebral, urging the mind through and out of the body. Drone like synthesizer patterns overlaid with sublime notes. Never overdone or asking for too much attention. Rather appealingly distant and moving in your direction. Capturing thoughts and and then drifting away. Like clouds parting way for the suns rays, momentarily the heat reaches you then is silenced again by the changing sky. Some wishes make the wind blow or the rain fall and other wishes make the night come. They are all well stated.
six wishes feels epic in the natural sense. Makes even more reason for this to be on the Inner Islands label's newest batch. If you like this, order a copy. There are one hundred of them and they will sell out. Both the label and the artist have been releasing music listeners seek and they have done a statuesque job together on this release.
In a world where sound has no limits or constraints, one note played goes on and on, creating a solemn field of noise. A guitar is struck and reverberates through an amplifier. This wall of sound engulfs the environment around it and travels forth. Like sharks in the sea these mighty surges of feedback gobble up the peacefulness surrounding their existence.
Deceit has taken this desolate domain of ambient noise in a decaying world of drone, then battered it's constitution with god like toll. Passing of the Slough breathes feedback and static melodies. Creating a horror show of sound, both in how tightly wound these tracks are, exploding from almost serene moments and also in track names like "Blood Chamber" and "Prison of Flesh".
Far from spaced out music for pondering how the suns rays sparkle on the Earth's surface. Deceit has forged music from molecules so pressured together, they swallow up your thoughts and mire you in the slough. There is no escape, just remember to breath slowly and you will not sink as fast.
This is the first release from Spear Gored Records. Listen to Deceit and fill with wrath like Phlegyas. Pass through this Slough then listen again. Resentfulness returned to can be comforting, because the elements used for anguish were contrived for only you.
Approaching music using vast periods of time produce unique sounds and almost lucid environments. Solid Waste has achieved this with the newest release on Dismal Niche Tapes titled Long Slow Dream. The sounds within this tape crackle with ambient splendor and pay homage to the electronic pulse of decades ago. The tracks turn like an old photo album relaying joyous times we wish the present will one day be.
The music on Long Slow Dream is relaxing and nostalgic. Resting in the world of light rather than darkness. There are no brooding moments within this twenty five minute cassette. The vintage undertones of Solid Waste add the depth, making this a really special listen. Maybe they have happened upon some crumbling crate of "New Age" reel to reels, creating the name and the telling of the dream.
This is just out in late February from Dismal Niche Tapes. Available now from the bandcamp page. There are some really good tapes still available from Dismal Niche, so take a moment and give the available catalog a listen. When i first listened to Solid Waste, they reminded me of Pine Smoke Lodge. The tones are not the same, but the feelings are similar for me. That comparison might help a little in how nice this tape is.
Tucked away in some unreachable place and sounding forth from some unknown time, Silent Surveillance begins drumming it's way into my ears. The sounds are dark and dense, promoting the mix between tribal rhythms and the sparkling storm emitted from a girder being welded into place high above. The floor vibrates, the sound world crumbles as Silent Surveillance falls out of hyperspace into planetary pulsation.
Trium Circulorum slings obtuse sound angles at my consciousness. The three tracks on this forty minute plus cassette take the look of an x, y and z axis. From jungle ceremonies played in front of a mysterious underground opening, quaking bass riffs causing industrial upheaval and finally the pressure of the heavy molecular atmosphere void of any musical rhythm. The three directions Silent Surveillance takes are all moderately dark in tone and beautiful crafted. The second side, the twenty minute track titled "Intercepted Data", takes the listener to the farthest reaches of composition. Hanging by threads above a world of musical spender and sheer noise. Both swirling below your toes and ready to envelope your mind. This balances well with the first two tracks on the initial side and completes a truly three dimensional sound experience.
This is release number four from Still Heat Recordings. Out in late January in an edition of fifty. All of the Still Heat releases to this point linger in the world of saturated sounds. Music that pushes the thresholds of any listening device and simultaneously the minds of the listeners themselves. The newest release by Trium Circulorum exemplifies the labels ability to reach into the alternate dimensions and bring through what we only hear in our dreams.


Inspired (if that's the right word) by dodgy and persistent claims that all 'peat-free compost is rubbish', I've set out to find out for myself.
Since spring 2011 I've been putting around 20 different makes of peat-free compost through their growing paces, with some very mixed results.
Mine is a warts and all gardening trial, which aims to recreate the day-to-day experience of raising plants in a back-garden environment – which is a world away from what you might find in a 'professional' trial situation.
Three 'good' and one 'ugly': tomatoes gave different results when pricked out into a range of peat-free composts. To find out which is which, click on the image.
You can see how I got on growing a range of different plants: cosmos, lettuce, onion, 'early' potatoes, radish, 'salad leaves', sweetcorn and tomato. Along with my gardening notes, there are plenty of photographs of how different plants performed, some showing comparative shoot and root growth – and some showing very little growth at all.
Are all peat-free composts 'rubbish'? No, not at all (that's just a pernicious myth). But as you might expect, a few are downright ugly, some are simply bad, and there's a range of rather good ones.

I use compost that I make myself so never a need to buy it! At the end of the season I pour the contents, uncooked, into my garden beds and cover them and in the spring take the covers off and voila, black gold 🙂 But glad you are calling attention to peat – it's soooo bad, and I hate how there's soooo much greenwashing surrounding it as 'green'.
I've tried 2 new peat-free composts recently.
I ordered it from http://www.gocompost.co.uk/ who deliver by appointment in the Midlands for £4.99.
This, again mixed with home-made 2 year old leaf mould, got excellent results with indoor and greenhouse and indoor sowings in containers. I haven't tried it in open ground or raised beds yet.
–	Nothing compares to home made compost mixed with home made leaf mould!
I read the article in today's Guardian weekend but was disappointed to find no reference to ericaceous subjects and a compost substitute for peat which is suitable for these acid-loving plants. Did you include these in your tests? Sorry if I've missed a reference somewhere.


PLEASANTON, Calif. – December 18th, 2008 – Five9 announced today that the Five9 Virtual Call Center Suite has received a 2008 Product of the Year Award from Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC®) Customer Interaction Solutions magazine (www.cismag.com), the leading publication covering CRM, call centers and teleservices since 1982.
The Five9 on-demand call center software serves customers on five continents with reliable and robust functionality that is fast, easy, and affordable. "Five9 is proud to receive this award from CIS Magazine," said Mike Burkland, CEO, Five9. "It acknowledges our leadership position in the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) market for call centers, our track record of product innovation and reliability, and our customer-centric approach. In 2008, Five9 launched a major new software release that received very positive reviews from existing and new customers alike, and this award attests to our ongoing dedication to our customers' success," continued Burkland.


The Interactive Disassembler, more commonly known as simply IDA, is a commercial disassembler widely used for . It supports a variety of executable formats for different processors and operating systems. It also can be used as a debugger for Windows PE executables. In other words, if you are or want to be a cracker or a keygen programmer this is the tool you need.
IDA Pro is a debugger.
But, in real life, things aren't always simple. Hostile code usually does not cooperate with the analyst. Viruses, worms and trojans are often armoured and obfuscated. More powerful tools are required.
The debugger in IDA Pro complements the static analysis capabilities of the disassembler: by allowing to single step through the code being investigated, the debugger often bypasses the obfuscation and helps obtain data that the more powerful static disassembler will be able to process in depth. IDA Pro can be used as a local and as a remote debugger on the 80x86 (typically Windows/Linux) and the ARM plaform (typically Windows CE PDAs). Remote debuggers are very useful when one wants to safely dissect potentially harmful programs.
IDA Pro contains a complete development environment that consists of a very powerful macro-like language that can be used to automate simple to medium complexity tasks. For more advanced tasks, our open plugin architecture puts no limits on what external developers can do to enhance IDA Pro's functionality. One could, for example, extend IDA Pro with a MP3 player and make malware sing. However, we suspect our governmental customers are involved in more serious projects.
Given the speed and the complexity of today's hostile code, a powerful analysis solution is required. IDA Pro has become such a standard in the field of malware analysis that information about new viruses is often exchanged under the form of IDA Databases. The 2001 CODE RED incident is typical of what usually happens in the background. When eEye isolated a new worm whose payload targeted the White House's web site, IDA Pro was used to analyze and understand it: it helped the talented eEye analysts deliver a prompt and accurate warning of the impending attack. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, somewhere in the world, thanks to IDA Pro, anti-virus analysts investigate new virus samples and provide timely solutions.
IDA Pro is the ideal tool to investigate why software breaks. While the topic of vulnerability disclosure remains, more than ever, controversial, one cannot ignore the fact that software is unfortunately often vulnerable to outside attacks. It is, without any doubt, a bad idea to let vulnerabilities lurk in essential pieces of software: if they aren't fixed, they could very well be exploited by what we usually call the bad guys. The Wisconsin Safety Analyzer is a very interesting project investigating software vulnerability and tamper resistance where IDA Pro plays an important role.
A lot of software is now developed outside the country where it is used. Since programs are incredibly hard to verify, since complete source code audit and rebuilds aren't always practical tools such as IDA provide a convenient means to check if a program really does what it claims to do.
Software is invading our lives at every level. In some cases, such as in what is known as the Sony Rootkit story, IDA Pro helps protect your essential rights.
IDA Pro has generated quite a lot of interest in academic circles.

Social care facing 'unprecedented crisis' over staff shortages, say officials
Care providers who are struggling to recruit say issues affecting staffing include low wages, the pandemic, Brexit-related workforce changes and summer holiday leave - and this is against a backdrop of an increasing number of adults who need support across the country.
By Harriet Hadfield, news correspondent

Image: The Isle of Wight is struggling with a shortage of staff working in adult care
Social care for the elderly and vulnerable is facing an "unprecedented crisis" due to a lack of available staff, according to council officials in the Isle of Wight.
Care providers who are struggling to recruit say issues affecting staffing include low wages, the pandemic, Brexit-related workforce changes and summer holiday leave.
This is against a backdrop of an increasing number of adults who need support across the country.
Image: The Isle of Wight is isolated from the mainland and has an ageing population
The government has said it is working to "ensure we have the right number of staff to meet increasing demands" and will "soon be outlining reforms to the adult social care system".
Sky News has been to the Isle of Wight, which has its own unique problems with isolation, an ageing population and a transient workforce.
Staff availability has become so difficult, vulnerable people have been left without care - sometimes at the last minute.
Anne Gustar, 80, who lives on her own and is completely reliant on her three-times daily care visits, said: "I can't live without them. I was a carer for 30 years at the local hospital. I know what it's like."

A couple of weeks ago, her carer didn't show up.
"I just assumed he was coming back to put me to bed but it was getting dark, and I thought I'm going to crawl over there and then I thought oh well I can sleep in my chair," she added.
Twenty-four other vulnerable people were also left waiting for their evening care visits, before being told there weren't enough available staff to come and put them to bed.
The council's team stepped in to help ensure everyone was looked after - but it is an example of the pressures the sector is facing nationwide.
Image: Dr Carol Tozer says the local council is facing an 'unprecedented crisis'
Dr Carol Tozer, director of adult social care and housing needs, told Sky News: "We've known for a long time there are major pressures, and this is happening now everywhere because of the national shortage of carers."
She said the care providers had exhausted all options.
Dr Tozer added: "We talk a lot about winter pressures, but here on the island, there's also key summer pressures because our economy relies on hospitality and the tourist business - if you can earn more doing that, that is what you will do when you are on national minimum or national living wage."
Care providers told Sky News that staffing is the "single biggest problem we face" and they don't believe government reform will go far enough.
COVID-19 means the care sector workforce is already hugely under strain.
Stephen Trowbridge, who runs a company providing care across the South West, said: "There is no work-life balance anymore in adult social care.
"Staff are on their knees and I think if it wasn't for the connection staff have with the individual customers, they'd find other jobs elsewhere which are paying a lot more money than we can afford to."

The NHS warned before the pandemic it was 100,000 staff short in the health and social care workforce.
The Directors of Adult Social Services group has told us: "We cannot go on like this.
"The government must urgently bring forward its long-promised proposals for reform and sustainable funding of adult social care and a proper workforce plan."
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: "The social care workforce, providers and local authorities have worked tirelessly throughout this pandemic to deliver good quality adult social care.
"The government is working with employers to ensure we have the right number of staff to meet increasing demands and this includes running national recruitment campaigns every year.
"To support social care providers through the pandemic we have provided local authorities with billions of pounds in funding.
"We will soon be outlining reforms to the adult social care system, with proposals being brought forward later this year."

Mega-Mosque's New Foundation [samo, samo 'Islamofascism']
Posted 01/19/2011 06:52 PM ET
Islamofascism: Ground Zero mosque promoters think they've found a less radioactive frontman for their project. But their new imam appears worse than the one they're sidelining.
Replacing imam Feisal Rauf as the new face of "moderation," "peace" and "interfaith tolerance" is Shaykh Abdallah Adhami, an imam who also happens to be an architect.
"It is an honor for me, personally, to welcome Imam Adhami to our team," said Sharif El-Gamal, chief developer of the site (who happens to have a criminal record, including assault). "I look forward to his leadership and assistance in the development" of the proposed mega-mosque.
No one else ought to look forward to his leadership, though, including bleeding-heart multiculturalists who still see nothing wrong with a 15-story shrine to Islam leering over the graves of thousands of New Yorkers slaughtered by Islamic terrorists.
A review of Adhami's past clients turns up the ultraradical cleric Siraj Wahhaj. He designed Wahhaj's militant Brooklyn mosque. Wahhaj was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He also was a character witness in the trial of the convicted terror plotter Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman, aka the Blind Sheik.
Adhami is a big fan of Wahhaj, in spite of his radical record, and even features him in a glowing profile on his website.
"Imam Siraj Wahhaj is the first in the Celebrating Our Elders series," says Adhami, an Egyptian-trained Shariah scholar. "He was selected not simply because of his devoted leadership to the community, but also for his role as a pioneer in the American Muslim experience. Since the 1970s, Imam Siraj has tirelessly laid the foundations for many scholars and leaders that would follow him."
If by "foundations" he means his sermons, Adhami follows in the footsteps of a man whose anti-American rhetoric is outmatched only by fugitive al-Qaida cleric Anwar Awlaki. "Siraj Wahhaj is as radical as you can get," said Tim Brown, a retired firefighter who responded to the 9/11 attack and has sued to block the mosque.
In his sermons, available on videotape and CDs at his mosque bookstore, Wahhaj has told his flock, "In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam."
In another sermon, Wahhaj likens America to a dumpster. "You know what this country is? It's a garbage can," he snarls. "It's filthy." He also demonizes the U.S. government as racist. "America is the most wicked government on the face of the planet Earth."
More alarming, Wahhaj promotes jihad.
"If we go to war, brothers and sisters — and one day we will, believe me — that's why you're commanded (to fight in) jihad," the imam has told his flock in New York, according to the book "Muslim Mafia." "When Allah demands us to fight, we're not stopping and nobody's stopping us."
He adds: "I will never tell people, 'Don't be violent.' That's not the Islamic way."
In preparation for holy war, according to "Muslim Mafia," he has exhorted the Muslim faithful to go into the inner cities and the prisons and convert disenfranchised minorities, then arm and train them with "9 millimeters and Uzis."
Are these the real "foundations" on which the Ground Zero mosque will be built? Hatred? Violence? Insurrection?

The congressional probe of Islamofascism — a suggested agenda
RenewAmerica – Wes Vernon – 10 Jan 2011
Nearly ten years after the attacks of 9/11, the enemy is making progress in its ongoing effort to lull as back to sleep.
Our leaders dare not use the term Islamofascism. Even War on Terror has become verboten. So the committee's hearings should be predicated on the understanding that we do have an enemy. That enemy is making war on us.
Most Americans abhor war. Who doesn't? Put it this way: Though Leon Trotsky was an evil man (who was murdered on the orders of an even more evil man, Stalin), he got one thing right when he said, "You may not be interested in war, but war may be interested in you." Indeed. And much of today's war (in which our fervent enemy is deeply "interested") is being waged right here on our own soil.
As David Rubin opines in his book Islamic Tsunami, Islamofascism is a far more dangerous enemy than either Nazism or Communism. This time, our enemy is a death-worshipping, blood-soaked, suicide-honoring ideology masquerading under the cover of "religion."
Ideas for the probe
Arab-American Christian scholar Dr. Anis Shorrosh has listed many facets of this war and how the enemy is destroying the ability of the U.S. and its people to resist the onslaught. Here are some of them:
1 — Weaken and ultimately bring about an end to freedom of speech through "hate crime" legislation — state and federal.
2 — Wage a war of words — using the likes of Louis Farrakan — to promulgate the idea that Islam is the original African-American faith, while Christianity is for whites (an ambitious plan whose aim is to tear down the deep Christian religiosity of many black Americans).
3 — Promote in every possible corner of the public square the idea that Islam is just another religion like Judaism and Christianity.
4 — Encourage Muslims and Muslim sympathizers to run for public office.
5 — Infiltrate and ultimately control the media — Hollywood, radio, TV, etc. (Here, they have staunch allies in the secular left, the dominant Hollywood culture.)
6 — Yell "Bigot!" and smear any American who quotes the damning passages of the Koran.
7 — Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, acquire positions in government, and gain membership on local school boards. (Bogus "history" as written by Communist liar Howard Zinn — for example — is widely used in schools, and would aid the Islamofascist effort to destroy the faith of our young people in their country, the Founding Fathers, and the Constitution.)
8 — Accelerate Muslim demographic growth through A) massive immigration (the FBI says many illegals crashing our southern border are from the Middle East, having learned enough Spanish to mingle with Hispanics); B) having Muslim men marry American women, then divorce them and re-marry every five years; and C) converting angry, alienated black prison inmates and turn them into militants (hundreds of such inmates have joined al-Qaeda).
9 — Push for literature in the American educational system that is sprinkled with dislike for Jews, Christians, and democracy.
10 — Provide large money contributions to American colleges and universities to establish "Centers for Islamic Studies."
11 — When the finger-pointing starts after a terrorist attack, always claim that terrorists have hijacked Islam, even though the truth is that Islam hijacked the terrorists.
12 — Appeal to historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance toward Muslims in America, portraying Muslims as immigrants from oppressed countries. (Here, TV anchorwoman Katie Couric generously provided us a prime example with her ditzy call for an Islamic version of the TV program The Cosby Show. Fred Grandy — formerly "Gopher" on TV's The Love Boat — solicited ideas from listeners to his morning radio show on WMAL-AM in Washington for a title to Katie's would-be sitcom. Among the ideas were I Dream of Jihad, How I Met Your Mullah, and Martyred with Children.)
13 — Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation of possible "imminent attacks," possibly leaving them unprepared (by repeated cries of "Wolf!") for a real one. (One recalls Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, who wrote, "Over and over again, branches of the American government have been embarrassed by their blindness to jihadist Islam.")
14 — Form riots in the prison system.
15 — Open "charities" throughout the U.S., but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.
16 — Raise interest in Islam on American campuses by insisting that every freshman take at least one course in Islam.
And that's not all
Repeatedly, Americans who speak out are confronted with those carrying water for yet another strategy on the Muslim agenda: Try to intimidate the outspoken individuals who criticize Islam. (At the same time, Muslims in the U.S. who would be quite willing to assimilate into American culture dare not raise their voices in protest against violent jihad lest they too become victims of it, rendering them ineffective.)
Rubin — in Islamic Tsunami — alludes to the "shocking anti-democratic anti-First Amendment silencing of those who dare to issue a warning threat," and adds that "Islamic big brother is aided by pagan leftists."

The Targeting Of Christians
Investor's Business Daily – 3 Jan 2011
The Targeting Of Christians
Islamofascism: A New Year's attack on an Egyptian Coptic Christian Church that killed 21 worshipers was not a random act. It also suggests Ground Zero mosque supporters preaching tolerance picked the wrong location.
If further evidence is needed of the nature of the enemy the United States and what's left of Western civilization faces, it can be found in the ruins of the Talbiya church in the Egyptian port city of Alexandria.
In a terrorist attack one minute after midnight, 21 Christians attending a New Year's Mass were killed and 97 people, mostly Christians, were injured after a car bomb detonated outside the Coptic church. The pastor of the church told the Malta Times, "I was inside the church and heard a huge explosion. People's bodies were in flames."
That this was an organized effort by Islamofascists to drive Christians and Christianity out of the heart of Islam, cannot be denied. But some would like to tap-dance around the obvious in the name of political correctness.

We usually think of a case of "the flu" as a nasty bug resulting in a week off from work. And we're well aware that for those chronically ill and most at risk for serious complications, influenza can be a life-threatening event.
But for the most part, the advent of flu vaccines has kept this disease reasonably manageable — at least in the affluent countries that can afford them. A well-publicized shortage of vaccines this year produced serious concerns, but emergency measures coupled with a fortuitously late flu season seem to have headed off the worst-case scenarios.
But now, there's a new danger on the horizon.
The World Health Organization has just issued a dramatic warning that bird flu could trigger an international pandemic that could kill up to 7 million people worldwide.
Flu pandemics occur when a virulent new strain of flu, for which there's no vaccine and no human resistance, appears suddenly. A strain of flu from birds killed 32 people in Thailand and Vietnam earlier this year, leading to the slaughter of millions of poultry birds across the region.
Experts say a pandemic will emerge from an animal, most probably a pig, that can harbor both flu viruses that affect humans and the avian flu variety. The two would mate and produce a virus to which people have no immunity, they say.
"There is no doubt there will be another pandemic," Klaus Stohr of the WHO Global Influenza Program told CNN in Bangkok, Thailand. Even with the most optimistic scenario, he said, "the pandemic will cause a public health emergency with estimates which will put the number of deaths in the range of 2 million to 7 million."
It's expected that a human vaccine may be ready as soon as next March — but that probably will be too late, Stohr said, since the disease is already spreading. And scientists might not be able to develop the vaccine until 2007, some officials say.
That means public health officials will have to resort to containment measures. The ramifications are staggering, because between "25 percent and 30 percent will fall ill," according to Stohr.
There have been three global flu pandemics in the 20th century. The worst occurred in 1918-19, killing as many as 50 million — half of them young, healthy adults. Asian flu in 1957 and Hong Kong flu in 1968 each killed about 1 million worldwide.
Because the virus will originate in Asia, it follows that Hawai'i may be among the first American lines of defense. Hawai'i's government and public health officials should waste no time in preparing for this looming threat.

Lost Lake is a campground/recreational area is a 2 hour drive from Portland. We've camped there two times: both occasions were very busy. This place is comparable to Detroit Lake. If you go here, you need to accept that there will be lots of kids, loudness and gross vault toilets.
The first time we camped here with Seth and Jenny. Our neighbors across the street blasted lousy country rock music the whole time and were not shy about arguing with each other at the tops of their lungs. I believe one of the foul-mouthed women threatened to leave her husband and head back to Tacoma from which she came if he didn't behave himself. I think one of their children may have been missing for a portion of the day as well.
This place is really popular because of the water activities on the lake. You can rent canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and pedal boats. You can also fish here, so people will be planted all along the shores of this lake. We hiked up Lost Lake Butte to enjoy the views. This is an easy hike, and, despite the campground being so busy, was not busy either of the two times we hiked it.
There is another trail for hiking....walking rather. It encompasses the entire lake and is easy for even the creakiest knees. This hike is about 3 miles long. We did this hike with the largest group of people I have ever "hiked" with. Aaron and I had been invited by a friend to camp with him. We thought we would be with a group of 4-6 people. When we showed up, we were greeted by a group of close to 20 people. We met a lot of people, most of which were some how a part of the Curti family. It was a really fun night, despite Aaron and I offending the Germans.
This view makes dealing with the hoards of people worth it.

Senate Democrats say they'll begin next session with a "supermajority"
by: Corina Cappabianca
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Nearly three weeks since Election Day leaders of the New York State Senate Democrats have declared they've reached a veto-proof supermajority.
"I'm announcing that in 2021, we will begin our session with a historic supermajority," NYS Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said. Stewart-Cousins says in 2019 Democrats held 39 seats, this year they've held 40, and beginning next year they will hold at least 42 of the 63 seats.
"This was a mandate by the voters. A mandate for Leader Stewart-Cousins to continue taking us in the direction we're going and a mandate to keep doing things for the people of this state that they want done, they expect done and they have been waiting for decades to get done," said NYS Senate Deputy Majority Leader Mike Gianaris.
This year several Senate Republicans retired, leaving some races with no incumbent. The day after Election Day Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt believed Republicans would win at least 27 seats. At that point absentee ballots had yet to begin being counted. In a response to today's news he said in part, "… If New Yorkers thought One-Party Control was bad, more Democrats in the New York State Senate will usher in a new era of radical, increasingly socialist policies, unlike anything before seen in this state…"
During a press briefing Governor Cuomo was asked how the veto-proof majority would change the balance of power. He said he doesn't think there's been a situation where he disagreed with every Senate Democrat. "The way the state government really works is through the budget, all the main things are done in the budget, and supermajority or not it doesn't really make a difference," the Governor said.
"I think that this is a little bit much ado about nothing. We fought to elect these candidates," said Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa.
The Senate supermajority also gives Democrats the edge when it comes to redistricting. Assembly Democrats already have a supermajority in their chamber.
