Key Brown for sound, big arrow on left to return to text
Online feedback from people who share my passion for music has got me thinking. Was there ever a more intense musical moment in history than the late 1960s? It was a confluence of many currents – musical, political, sociological, philosophical, technological … even biological if you count the contraceptive pill and, er, other medicaments – and there was one band who, more than any other, channelled that heady zeitgeist. Even their name straddled past and present, yoking a slave-owning founding-father with the newest and fastest form of transport.
Jefferson Airplane took off in the folk clubs of San Francisco, fuelled up mid-air with jazzed-tinged blues-rock and went stratospheric when Grace Slick brought her extraordinary voice and two hit songs – her brother's Somebody To Love and her own exotic concoction White Rabbit, a provocative blend of children's literature and psychedelic knowingness.
The surprise success of the Surrealistic Pillow album put them in the driving seat and a grateful production company gave them free rein in the studio for their next album, After Bathing At Baxter's. Its wild and cheerfully uncommercial excesses, hated by the suits but loved by Airplane freaks, allowed them to develop adventurous three-way vocal harmonies – as here in Won't You Try, still sounding good at Woodstock three years later.
Next up was the more disciplined Crown of Creation album, still my own favourite by a short head, but a TV appearance where Grace 'blacks up' to sing the title track highlights their volatile and rebellious unpredictability undimmed by success. And just listen to those resonant words, rock long since freed by Bob Dylan to say something worthwhile – something we'd come to expect by 1968.
This social relevance continued and even extended on the Volunteers album, whose opening track We Can Be Together blends war-weary alienation and communitarian idealism in an almost perfect apotheosis of those slightly unhinged times. Another track Wooden Ships imagines a dystopian future of hippie exile from a broken society, a theme that its co-writer Paul Kantner (the others being Stephen Stills and David Crosby) was soon to revisit in his magnificent sci-fi concept album Blows Against The Empire – solo, that is, with valuable help from several Airplane, CSNY and Dead members.
If you've never heard Blows and fancy some beautifully performed and still exhilarating rock music that evokes those tempestuous times, do yourself a big favour and listen to it straight through. I won't spoil it by telling you the plot – but the album was nominated for a Hugo award, normally reserved for sci-fi novels. Side One – huh, remember sides? – begins with an acapella chant which establishes a powerful sense of historical disenchantment, conjuring a comparison of the troubled present with the paranoia of 17th Century religious persecution across the so-called civilised world..
Hide, witch, hide / The good folks come to burn thee / Their keen enjoyment hid behind / A Gothic mask of duty
A track from around halfway through the album – Sunrise – goes back way beyond the Witchfinder General to the root of the problem. Two thousand years, sings Grace Slick with passion, two thousand years of your goddam glory … No shrinking violet, she, and many of us loved her and her band for their brave and uncompromising critique of 'straight' society and its many hypocrisies.
But the album is much more than a call to arms. At the heart of its elaborate central metaphor is also a glorious celebration of human potentiality. Neither that burning idealism nor its musical realisation has dated for one second and listening to this magical album can give us the experience of stepping outside time to values which are eternal. And there's nothing anti-religious about that.

This is my last review from the Nudes range from Penney's (Primark). They are launching a new K-Pop range which looks very cutesy. I picked up one or two bits but I feel like it's aimed at a younger audience. I feel this range is more my speed 🙂
For €8.00 you receive 4 Lip Products.
First a Deep Pink Matte Lip Cream. This is my favorite of the bunch. The colour suits me and its comfortable on the lips. It smells like cupcakes which I like. As it wears off it leaves a nice stain on the lips. I did notice though that the product pushes back up and out when you push the wand back in so the wand gets a bit messy. I did think it made me lips look a little dry though so they'd want to well moisturised before hand.
The light browney colour is too light for me. It looks orange on me, it made my look like patient Zero at the start of a Zombie movie! It's a pity cause its a high shine lip gloss & I love gloss.
The lighter pink, a matte cream, was also too light. It looks darker in the tube but on the lips extremely light. I tried it over a darker lip color to try and either do an ombre lip or make my lips look plumper. But it just didn't look good on me.
Finally we have another High Shine Lip gloss. In the tube it looks like it might be a duo chrome product. I thought, considering the colours included that it might pull pink over the pink colors & more peach over the peachier shades. But unfortunately it just pulls peach on top of all them which isn't the most flattering on me. There's no scent to this one at. When applying not a lot pf product comes out so you have to keep dipping back in and maybe get half a lip done at a time. It seemed to cause the actual lip color underneath to separate and go patchy. I expected a lot of iridescence from this product but it was very disappointing.
Top is wet & bottom is after drying.
This is what the lighter pink matte cream wand looks like when it's all gunky.
Overall I just didn't love this set as much as I thought I would. The colors separated after an hour or so. From the wands I thought they would be prettier colors. If you like these colors then this is a good value but the majority just didn't suit me. Have you tried this set? Have you any interest in it?

The Sooners opened up the 2018 campaign against Florida Atlantic, and before the game I really had doubts on if they would be able to stop Devin Singletary and the offensive mastermind that is Lane Kiffin. While Singletary had his moments, the Sooners seemed to really focus on him, and it showed in the box score. Below I give my grades for Oklahoma on offense, defense and special teams following their week 1 victory.
Sooner Offense
Kyler Murray began with a standout performance, throwing for over 200 yards, two TD's and making a few dazzling plays on his feet all before the end of the first half. He completed a 65 yard bomb to "Hollywood" Brown in stride, and looked comfortable in the pocket as well. One big surprise in the first half was a Lee Morris' 65 yard touchdown snag, where he broke off a few tackles on his way to the end zone. Oklahoma's offense constantly found ways to build momentum over and over again and never really let up.
Rodney Anderson and Trey Sermon both looked fantastic, luckily for Lincoln, neither had to play many snaps. In just 5 runs Anderson managed to hit the 100 yard mark, and scored two TD's. Trey Sermon added another 70, along with a touchdown of his own. The Sooner offense racked up over 400 yards before the halftime whistle blew.
Austin Kendall looked strong in relief of Kyler, going 8-10 for 88 yards through the air and a touchdown. Kendall and Kyler combined for just four total in-completions, going 17-21. The star of the game had to be Marquise Brown, who is expected to have a huge season this year. Kyler already loves slinging it to him, and Brown hasn't lost any speed, still bursting past the secondary on a regular basis. The Biletnikoff nominee ended with 6 catches, 133 yards and a pretty 65 yard touchdown grab.
Offense Final Grade : A
Sooner Defense
This is the area most fans had their concerns over. Oklahoma was having to mix promising youth with experience, and hope to build a cohesive and smart defense before the Big 12 season opens up. Florida Atlantic had a top notch offense last season, but clearly former Sooner Chris Robinson struggled against a Sooners' defense that looked motivated and ready to hit on every play. The starters for the Sooner's didn't allow a point in their time on the field, and looked strong on all three levels.
Brendan Radley-Hiles was the talk of the Sooner defense in the offseason, and he made plays as soon as the game began. Senior Curtis Bolton was a surprise for the fans, going out there and showing some leadership that Oklahoma desperately needed this season. Neville Gallimore added a big sack, and helped slow down Devin Singletary. Another top recruit, Ronnie Perkins added four more tackles off the edge.
The were able to hold Singletary to just 70 yards rushing and a touchdown. Those numbers will make every Sooner Coach happy, because the Florida Atlantic back will go on to have a stellar 2018 season.
Sooner Defense Grade : A+
Special Teams:
The biggest play maybe all day was the blocked punt by Lee Morris that turned into a Curtis Bolton TD. That momentum swing was huge for the Sooners, and was the beginning of the rout. It was Oklahoma's first blocked punt touchdown in almost 20 years.
Swiss Army Knife Kicker/Punter Austin Seibert missed his only field goal attempt of the day; a 53-yard attempt. He did knock in all 8 of his extra points, and added two strong punts.
The return game wasn't exceptional, but Lee Morris did have one nice return for 28 yards, giving Oklahoma great field position.
Special Teams Grade : A ++
This was an extremely strong showing from the Sooners, who now look like a team ready to make a push for the Playoff. They'll take on UCLA next week in Norman.

May 21 (UPI) -- After U.S. officials gave a 90-day reprieve to Huawei, Google said Tuesday it will suspend a plan to quit providing its Android operating system to the Chinese smartphone maker.
Google said Monday it would cut Huawei's access to the mobile operating system to comply with a U.S. order that bars American companies from doing business with firms deemed a risk to national security. Later Monday, the Commerce Department issued a three-month exemption.
Google followed suit, and is now giving the Chinese telecom giant, the world's second-largest smartphone maker, Android access until Aug. 19.
"Keeping phones up to date and secure is in everyone's best interests and this temporary license allows us to continue to provide software updates and security patches to existing models for the next 90 days," Google told Business Insider.
Huawei was put on an export blacklist last week, meaning it can't purchase goods made in the United States. Of the $70 billion Huawei spent buying components in 2018, about $11 billion went to U.S. companies -- including Qualcomm, Intel and Micron Technology. Nearly half of all sold Huawei smartphones were exported out of mainland China in the first quarter of this year.
Huawei and Chinese phone maker ZTE were each singled out last year by U.S. officials for posing a security risk. The U.S. military barred the phones from bases worldwide.
Google said the delay allows it to provide software updates and security patches to existing models for the next 90 days.
The Commerce Department said it gave the grace period to give U.S. companies time to adjust and prepare to cut out Huawei.
"The Temporary General License grants operators time to make other arrangements and the Department space to determine appropriate long-term measures for Americans and foreign telecommunications providers that currently rely on Huawei equipment for critical services," Ross said. "In short, this license will allow operations to continue for existing Huawei mobile phone users and rural broadband networks."
Business Insider reported that Google's move to cut off Android panicked Huawei, which immediately received inquiries from customers asking if they can return their Google-powered phones. Last year, the Chinese company said it would build its own operating system in case Android was removed in the future.

Consumers making a one-on-one hot tub comparison usually look for the right hot tub size and value.
\n
Chino Hills, CA. November 30, 2011– Hot tub size is one of the most important considerations for consumers who are in the market for a new spa, according to an informal study of Jacuzzi® hot tub owners' comments. Typical hot tub comparison shopping starts with consumers looking at different spas that seat the same number of people, and seeing which spa offers the best value.
\n
Spa sizes range from large enough to accommodate a family to compact couples-only hot tubs. The size of the space where the hot tub will be installed also dictates the owner's preference in spa size.
\n
Another feature high on the list for hot tub comparisons: jets. The jets in a hot tub are at the heart of the spa experience – hydrotherapy, or warm-water massage, promotes relaxation but can also be energizing, depending on the jet stream. The patented jets in Jacuzzi® hot tubs have been cited by consumers for their versatile massage action and durability. In a hot tub comparison of jets, the Jacuzzi® brand has a track record in jet design and engineering dating back more than 55 years.
\n
"Design aesthetics, comfortable seating, powerful jets and options like marine-grade stereos factor into a feature-by-feature hot tub comparison, but they are not as meaningful to consumers as the hot tub company's reputation," said Nathan Mangum, Director of Marketing. "Part of the reason why people trust the Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs name is because we provide affordable, quality products backed by a solid warranty."
\n
Consumers interested in doing a hot tub comparison will find information online and in FREE downloadable brochures. Other features that are often mentioned include lighting, comfortably sculpted interiors, pillow headrests, digital control panels, and adjustable-flow waterfalls.
\n
About Jacuzzi Hot Tubs
Jacuzzi Hot Tubs is committed to designing self-contained spa products that combine warmth, water and air movement in invigorating massage combinations to rejuvenate, relax and reconnect. As the brand that virtually invented the hot tub and whirlpool bath categories, and with access to more than 250 patents granted to its affiliate, Jacuzzi is the recognized brand that continues to deliver the optimal hydrotherapy experience.

'Apologetic' customer finally returns library book due in 1948
Quite a few of us have dusty old library books hiding under our bed. Perhaps ones we are too embarrassed to return because they were due so long ago.
This was definitely the case for one customer of a library in Auckland- who returned a book which was due for return in 1948 -67 years ago!
The book, Myths and Legends of Maoriland by A.W Reed was meant to be returned to the Epsom Library on December 17, 1948.
As the book was surprisingly in good conditions, the kind library waived the late fees.
The woman was in her seventies, and had borrowed the book as a child.
Auckland Libraries wrote on Facebook: "A wonderful customer came to see us with a confession today! As a child she was a patron of Epsom Library until she moved out of Auckland - and accidentally took a library book with her!
"Today she finally managed to return it to us. It's a fair few years overdue but in excellent well-read condition. Have you got a library confession you want to get off your chest? We are all ears!"
A slip in the book said the fine should be "three-pence for the first week...and one-penny per day after."
The book was 24,604 days overdue which is about a 102.50 pound fine.
According to Yahoo, with inflation the fine would actually be about $7,300 NZD (£3496.35).
People have been replying with their own library late fees.
One customer said: "Ummmmm. well..... just wondering if there might be an amnesty for a book that was borrowed from the Howick Public Library in 1969?"
Have you got a book which was due back more than 67 years ago? Email firstname.lastname@example.com

1 There was at Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a captain in what was known as the Italian regiment. 2 He was a devout man, who feared God, as did all the members of his household. He was liberal in charities to the people, and always prayed to God. 3 One afternoon, about three o'clock, he had a vision, and distinctly saw an angel of God come into his room and say to him, "Cornelius!"
4 He stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, sir?" "Your prayers and charities," the angel answered, "have gone up and been remembered before God. 5 Now send men to Joppa, for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter. 6 He is being entertained at the house of a tanner named Simon, which is close to the sea."
7 When the angel who had spoken to him was gone, Cornelius called two of his servants, and a devout soldier who was one of his personal attendants, 8 and after telling them the whole story, sent them to Joppa.
9 The next day, while they were still on their way, and were just getting near the town, Peter went up on the housetop about noon to pray. 10 He got very hungry, and wanted something to eat. While they were getting it ready, he fell into a trance, 11 and saw the sky opened and a thing like a great sheet coming down, lowered to the ground by the four corners, 12 with all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and wild birds in it. 13 And a voice came to him, "Get up, Peter! Kill something and eat it!"
14 But Peter said, "Never, sir! For I have never eaten anything that was not ceremonially cleansed."
15 The voice came to him again a second time, "Do not call what God has cleansed unclean." 16 This happened three times; then the thing was taken right up into the sky.
17 While Peter was still wondering what the vision he had had could mean, the men whom Cornelius had sent had asked the way to Simon's house and reached the door, 18 and they called out to ask if Simon who was called Peter was staying there.
19 As Peter was pondering over his vision, the Spirit said to him, "There are two men looking for you. 20 Get up and go down, and go with them without any hesitation, for I have sent them."
21 Then Peter went down to see the men, and said to them, "I am the man you are asking for. What is the reason for your coming?"
22 They answered, "Cornelius, who is a captain, and an upright and God-fearing man, and who has a good reputation with the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to listen to what you have to say." 23 So Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he started off with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa, 24 and the day after, he reached Caesarea. Cornelius had invited in his relatives and his intimate friends and was waiting for them. 25 When Peter actually came in, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet and made obeisance to him.
26 But Peter lifted him to his feet, and said, "Get up! I am only human myself." 27 So they went in talking together, and Peter found that many people had gathered, 28 and he said to them, "You know that it is against the Law for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit one; but God has taught me not to call anyone vulgar or unclean. 29 That was why, when I was sent for, I came without any hesitation. And now I want to ask why you sent for me."
30 Cornelius answered, "Three days ago, just at this time of day, I was praying in my house about three o'clock, when a man in dazzling clothing stood before me, 31 and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been recalled to mind by God. 32 So send to Joppa and invite Simon who is called Peter to come here. He is staying at the house of a tanner named Simon, close to the sea.' 33 So I sent for you immediately, and you have very kindly come. Now we are all here in God's presence, to hear everything that the Lord has instructed you to say."
34 Then Peter began and said, "Now I really understand that God shows no partiality, 35 but welcomes the man of any nation who reveres him and does what is right. 36 He has sent his message to Israel's descendants, and made the good news of peace known to them through Jesus Christ. He is Lord of us all. 37 You know the story that has gone all over Judea, starting from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed, 38 about Jesus of Nazareth, and how God endowed him with the power of the holy Spirit, and he went about doing good and curing all who were in the power of the devil, because God was with him. 39 We are witnesses of everything that he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. Yet they put him upon a cross and killed him. 40 But God raised him to life on the third day and caused him to be plainly seen, 41 not by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had designated beforehand, that is, by us, who ate and drank with him after he had risen from the dead. 42 He also directed us to announce to the people and bear solemn testimony that he is the one whom God has appointed to be the judge of the living and the dead. 43 It is of him that all the prophets bear witness that everyone that believes in him will have his sins forgiven in his name."
44 Before Peter had finished saying these words, the holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to his message. 45 The Jewish believers who had come with Peter were amazed because the gift of the holy Spirit had been showered upon the heathen too, 46 for they heard them speaking in foreign languages and declaring the greatness of God. Then Peter said, 47 "Can anyone refuse the use of water to baptize these people when they have received the holy Spirit just as we did?" 48 And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on there a few days.

Hi AZ, Grace is the one with CP and we are still deciding, since we have a little. Any thoughts on the issue?
- January 15, 2008 at 6:57 PM
- AZ Chapman said...
for starters sorry about the names I hope you forgive me
Secondly I went to a special Ed preschool but transfered to mainstream and did another year of preschool( 5 in pre-k ) and have not been in SDC as a student since. ( I help out in there) I don't know Grace but normally Cp dose not cause MR so Grace very well may be as smart as her bother and sister. Maybe you can do the same thing as me or something different,
My advice talk to other parents of school aged kids with Cp and other disabilities in mainstreamed and not. Talk to teachers OT ST PT and your hubby, In the end you have to go with your gut feeling and hope for the best.
Hope I helped
ps I talk to my mom and see what she says.
- January 16, 2008 at 1:02 AM
For all its worth my advice is - Grace needs to go mainstream - from the start .

How to Deal with the Anxiety and Fear Terrorism Fosters — Without Giving In
According to an NBC news poll taken Nov. 15-17, 2015, 54 percent of Americans are worried about a terrorist attack here. On Nov. 23, 2015, the U.S. State Department issued a worldwide travel alert, urging citizens to "exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation." Terrorist groups such as ISIS, al-Qaida, Boko Haram and others may carry out planned attacks — although officials are quick to say there are "no credible" threats of attacks on U.S. soil at this time.
Still, it's hard to ignore breaking news from around the world about suicide bombers, or erase images of police officers patrolling major airports carrying shotguns and AR-15s, accompanied by bomb-sniffing dogs. How can we cope with the feelings of anxiety and fear that terrorist acts foster? What are some practical things we can do to live our lives without succumbing to fear?
Dr. Anita Gadhia-Smith, a Washington, D.C., psychiatrist who not only counsels individuals, couples and families, but also has worked with a lot of our leaders in government, shares her thoughts on the topic.
Time to Draw upon Courage, Trust, Patience and Faith
Dr. Gadhia-Smith says that while life is a constant state of uncertainty in general, given recent events, a lot of people are really worried, particularly in cities named as potential targets, such as Washington and New York. The attacks in Paris "pierce our denial" that there is a safe place. We want to think that whatever happens it happens out there, over there, to somebody else. But those attacks "were particularly disturbing because it was the restaurant around the corner, a music hall, and places that we all go and frequent."
Now it becomes apparent that there is no really safe place. This could happen anywhere. But this should not cause us to stop living, Dr. Gadhia-Smith says. "These are the times that we have to draw upon courage, trust, patience and faith that we can continue to go on and live our lives and also to make a decision that we are not going to be controlled by fear. Because if we make choices based on fear, then the terrorists win and they accomplish what they are trying to do. While we need to be aware and vigilant and pay attention to unusual things that seem like they're out of the ordinary and report those things, we don't need to live in a state of terror and fear."
Be Vigilant, But Carry Out Travel Plans
How do you plan for and carry out travel plans at this time of uncertainty and unrest? Dr. Gadhia-Smith encourages people to go ahead and carry out the plans that they want to have.
"There's this wonderful British saying, 'Keep calm and carry on.' Apart from going to Paris or Brussels right now, I think that people need to carry on and continue with what they would normally do."
Social Media: Does it Help or Hurt in Allaying Fears and Anxiety?
There's no question that social media is a big part of our culture now. Dr. Gadhia-Smith believes social media can hurt and it can help in allaying fears and anxiety, depending on the emphasis. A lot of postings on social media are created to get attention and to create emotion. "We have now a very attention-seeking culture where everyone's looking for a hit. It's such an instant society." She stresses that social media can give us information but not highlight the terror and not put the negative spin on things but try to keep the content balanced, rational, and genuine without overemphasizing fear and hype.

I'm looking to add a forward facing infrared camera that outputs NTSC video as a video input source to my Audi A5 MMI 3G system. The MMI has the green Fakra connector which is used for video input, but I need help with configuring the MMI to use the video input as a source to the in vehicle MMI screen.
I don't know if I'll be required to add a TV tuner to feed my infrared camera output to--or if I'll be able to directly feed the video signal to the green Fakra connector.
Does anyone have knowledge or documentation that could be helpful?

In a world first, shareholders of ASX listed Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG) can receive dividend payments in the form of gold bullion.
The gold miner announced it would resume dividend payments for the 2016 financial year at $0.017 per share under the new gold sales-linked dividend policy.
The dividend payments will total $11.1M which represents 2% of RSG's FY2016 gold sales revenue of $555M.
Shareholders of RSG will be given the option to receive dividends in cash or in gold from the Perth Mint.
The partnership with the world renowned Perth Mint will sees shareholders holding more than 5,000 or more ordinary shares in RGS on the record date being offered the gold payment option.
The agreement allows eligible shareholders to convert their gold balances into a range of bars and coins available at the Perth Mint.
John Welborn, Managing Director and CEO of Resolute Mining, with Richard Hayes, CEO of The Perth Mint with part of the dividend payment in gold bullion.
The unique offering by RSG is likely to appeal to gold bugs who are seeking exposure to the monetary metal through the stock market but also invest in the commodity itself.
As many gold enthusiasts currently convert their profits from the paper markets into physical gold.
Now investors can receive physical gold as a dividend payment whilst leaving their money in the company, saving on broker fees and costs of buying both stocks and metals at a spread.
FY2016 saw RSG post a record profit of $213M and reduce its debts by $91M, seeing the balance sheet up finish $102M in the black.
The strong performance from the gold miner over the past year saw the share price move from $0.25 per share at the beginning of the year to reach a high of $2.10 at the beginning of August, an 840% gain.
The share price performances of RSG should not be used as a guide to future performance and any investment decision should not be based solely on this information.
Will other miners follow suit?
Whilst uranium investors are likely to pass on the idea, receiving a gold or silver coin/bar has an appeal for investors who not only believe in the company that they are investment in but the precious metal resource itself.
Bold moves from metals miners has seen previous success with silver miner First Majestic Silver Corp (TSE:FR) who operates on the Canadian stock exchange, previously suspending sales of 35% of its silver production due to low prices in commodity.
The outspoken CEO of First Majestic, Keith Neumeyer claiming the metal was being manipulated lower through the paper markets.
Proving a hit with silver bugs for his daring move, Neumeyer's First Majestic has had a stellar 2016, starting the year at $4.80 per share to reach a high of $24.16 in August, before selling off as the silver price dropped back.
The share price performances of First Majestic should not be used as a guide to future performance and any investment decision should not be based solely on this information.
No doubt other mining companies took note of First Majestic's stance and success that followed.
The same applies to the gold dividend payment scheme with RSG that if proven to be a success could see other companies follow suit in an attempt to attract investors.
The publicity that RGS has received from the latest dividend move has been worth its weight in gold, as too are its dividend payments.

A fine day but quite blustery, with moderate cloud cover and slightly below average temperatures. Dry.
I decided to concentrate on European Turtle Dove and Spotted Flycatcher today and after a huge amount of effort managed just one of the former and none of the latter. I must thank Richard Bashford and Matt Burgess for their help with potential locations. Five singing Lesser Whitethroats were unexpected.

An escrow account makes your life easier and benefits your lender. The escrow holds money for some of your home bills, such as taxes and homeowners insurance. You pay the escrow amount with your monthly mortgage payment, and the lender manages the account. An escrow is not always optional, since lenders may require you get one as part of your loan approval.
Payment Consolidation
You'd have a bunch of payments to keep track of without an escrow account. Your school, town or city and county taxes may have different due dates and need to be sent all over the place. Since the escrow is one combined payment that's part of your monthly mortgage bill, you don't have to deal with the individual bills for the escrow items. Budgeting is easier because you pay smaller amounts throughout the year instead of having to cough up a large wad of cash at one time.
No Late Fees or Coverage Lapses
The lender is responsible for your escrow account. So if a payment is late, under federal law the lender has to cover the late fees as long as your loan is current. Since most lenders have systems in place to handle escrows, a lender is less likely to miss a payment than a borrower. Missing escrow item payments can have consequences beyond money penalties. If you're late on your homeowners insurance, for instance, the insurer can cancel your coverage.
Lender Protection
An escrow protects the lender's investment in your home too. If you don't pay your homeowners insurance on time and your uninsured home burns down, the lender could lose the money it lent you. Real estate tax collectors can take ownership of a home for unpaid property taxes, and the fees and interest on late tax payments can add up quickly.
Surplus or Shortage Considerations
Your lender looks over your escrow each year to make sure you're putting enough cash into the account to cover all your escrowed bills. You may receive cash back from the account if you have too much money in there when the escrow is reviewed. However, the lender may raise your escrow payment based on expected increases, such as a hike in your property taxes.

Such bad luck. I wanted to talk to Lingua to introduce their original music to rock fans in Poland and all of a sudden we bumped into an unfortunate coincidence. The reply to our interview request came after a few months only to be accompanied with a statement on….the band's decision to call it quits. As we read in their release, in the face of Misha's decision to leave the band, the whole group decided to finish their activity as Lingua. It was Misha who contacted us for the interview with RockOko which was suppose to be his last for the band, so we could not pass on such opportunity. There came a December Sunday, we sat by our devices and here is what came out from our long conversation:
RockOko: Hi Misha, thanx for talking to us.
Misha: No problem, you are welcome.
RockOko: I wanted to start this interview with question what is the smell of life, that could have been with Lingua [reference to band's debut album title "The smell of life that could have been"], but I guess after reading your statement it comes to mind that it is the life, that could not be there any more. You're saying in your message that you decided to quit the band, because "music stopped giving", so I wanted to ask whether it stopped giving on the creativity level or in general music stopped being the activity you would like to do in life. Which one is it?
Misha: I think it's both. To take it from the start, I didn't actually realize that I wasn't very much into music any more. It started growing on me and it took over a year. The process of doing our last album "All My Rivals Are Imaginary Ghosts" took us about a year. We wanted to take the time we needed in order to make an album we would be satisfied with. Because it took us so much time to make the record, we weren't writing any new material. Once we finished the record we were suppose to start writing, doing creative stuff again, but at that time I think I realized that we sort of stagnated. We started working on some songs for our punk alter ego Rövfitta, but all of those songs had been already written, so we weren't doing anything new there either. We also thought of doing something with Come Sleep [3rd band involving Lingua members]. We were thinking of releasing our old 5 song EP with a couple of new tunes, but still, those tunes were written before "All My Rivals Are Imaginary Ghosts", so actually it's been about 2 years since either of us written anything new for any of our bands. We played some gigs, we rehearsed, but that was the time when I started thinking that maybe I don't want to do that any more. I started being bored with rehearsals. I remember this day, two months before we split. We were in rehearsal room, I was playing my guitar and thinking, that if we finish early maybe I could go home take my running shoes and go jogging. That seemed like more fun to me.
RockOko: So did you start feeling that all rehearsals started turning into a sort of obligation?
Misha: No, I didn't feel obligation. I never felt that. I just felt I could be doing more fun things with my time. The best thing about Lingua was that we never put pressure on each other. So I didn't feel pressure from myself or anyone else to go to rehearsal, but I just wasn't' t feeling anything when I played.
RockOko: How did the rest of the band take your decision?
Misha: Of course they were bumped. We've played together for 10 years. We've been really good friends. They were bumped, but at the same time also very understanding.
RockOko: Did they also feel like you, that you have stagnated as a band?
Misha: Thomas [vocals] did feel like me a couple of times. He was thinking about leaving, but eventually he just didn't. Patrik, our drummer, well he doesn't really have anywhere to go, so to speak. He's happy playing his drums. When I announced I'd be leaving he said to me something like "I can understand you, because you're always driven to have things happening around you. You can't just have a band and have nothing happening around it, but I'm quite happy to be here banging the shit out of my drum kit." He's quite right about that. They're quite happy just to play together and I was too. I probably would have stayed there if I didn't feel it music wasn't giving any more.
RockOko: It's been a couple of months since your decision, although you've publicized it only now in December. Maybe it's still a short time to think of it or do any sort of retrospection, but what comes to your mind when you think of the whole adventure called Lingua, that happened in your life? For example, you said music was a therapy. What did it actually heal or release in you as a person?
Misha: I've had great run with Lingua. We've been best friends. We've had tons of fun, we've had tons of shit as well. As for the therapeutic part I'd definitely say it's been healing. It's been healing up to the point, where I don't need the therapy any more. I was one of those bleeding artists, you know. The one who puts his soul to the music. Every note I hit had to be 100% of my soul. I know it sounds corny, but you probably know what I mean. As I became older, I'm 32 now, all these other things started happening to me and I've became, hm, how do you say? I think I've became quite happy (smiles). I have a daughter, she's 5. She is the most wonderful person in the world. I have family, so to continue to play this quite sad and emotional music it just didn't fit to my life. I don't feel that way for music any more. I don't want to bleed myself dry any more. I just want to be a happy person. I think in today's society, with all those things around you can be angry about, that's a tricky one. It's easy to just lash off aggression, but to actually cope with the world, that's harder.
RockOko: How about music in general. I understand you lost the feeling for this kind of music and emotions. I guess it is hard to write dark stuff when you feel simply good. So is it like when there are no demons to be channelled and released through music, the music itself is not really of interest to you any more?
Misha: I am still listening to music. I love music. I still listen to aggressive music. I still enjoy my share of the Tools and Deftones. But when I pick up guitar now; it's different. I've always made fun of happy music, saying it wasn't really heartfelt etc. But now when I play my guitar at home or when I try to learn something, now I play that kind of songs. It's not embarrassing for me, it's just fun. The songs I recently tried to play were like Van Halen's "Panama" or Rolling Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". It's not metal and it's not unhappy. It's totally opposite of everything I have been doing so far. And I'm not writing here, I'm just playing songs, because it's fun. So I guess this is where I am now. Playing songs because it is simply fun.
I've put music on a pedestal all my life. I've been treating it or at least thinking about it as of my madonna, but at the same time I've been treating it like a whore. I know these are harsh words. Music is recorded by artists. They give to the music. But in the opposite direction, when I listen to a song, I listen to it as long as I like it and then I throw it away. You can't do that for example with people. I'm glad you don't do that with people, so that's what I mean by saying that I have treated it as a whore. But we need music in exactly that way. Music is supposed to do exactly what we want to do with it. I've been putting music on pedestal all the time, but I don't do it any more. I realized that I don't care if people like my music, so why other artists should care if I like theirs or not.
RockOko: But I think it's a thin line. Of course the basic foundation for involvement in music is to play music that you would love to hear, but then there is the whole response and audience thing into it as well, isn't it? Actually that might be an interesting thing to ask you. Do bands exist without the audience?
Misha: Absolutely they do. Just look at Lingua. We have been together for 10 years. 10 years of doing it and we have about 400 likes on Facebook. That says pretty much how close to nothing we were as a group. By saying this I'm absolutely not ranting down on those few fans, that we've had. I love each and one of them. Yet anyone can say, that 400 likes over 10 years of playing is pretty close to being a non-existent band. But we were happy. We were doing what we loved. We would have never compromised for that.
RockOko: So you did it all basically from fun, friendship and passion, which draws another thing, that defines the type of existence in music industry. Let me put it straight, you weren't financially depended on the band, were you?
Misha: No no. We were putting much more money into the band, than taking anything from it (laughs).
RockOko: Right and I think the fact that you didn't have the financial element in your band's activity gave you independence and freedom. When you're in a band and you throw everything in there trying to actually "make it", become successful or at least be able to live off it, then it might change the attitude or at least way of how you operate as a band, because you know that without gigs or activity you are basically dead.
Misha: Of course. It has to be a challenge, but a good challenge. Sometimes in the interviews or after shows people were telling us how cool we were, because we're so "DIY" [Do It Yourself]. But we were always like: "Thanx, but you know, we are like that not by choice". I would give anything to work with a producer once. Someone, who would have outsider opinion about my song writing and who would give me other ideas. Not all producers take only commercial direction and focus only on making more money off the band or an album. Some producers actually have good ears, which help make songs better. Who wouldn't want to do that? But then again, everything can be done in a good or bad way. If money becomes such a big issue, then yes, you can become something like say Nickelback or similar bands. Well they weren't that alternative to begin with, but look at them now. They're making this arena rock and there is a big business going on there. Of course I can't speak for them or any one else, but to me it seems it isn't about music any more.
RockOko: As for the existence of the bands out there, have you ever thought what actually decides, that some bands do get recognized and others don't. What is the reason? Is about the promotion or the deals they sign or maybe didn't sign, the contacts, luck. A bit of everything maybe?
Misha: Definitely a bit of everything.
RockOko: Do you feel that could have done more with Lingua in terms of pushing the existence of your band into the broader audience?
Misha: Oh yes, we could have done so much more had we been actually at it. We were an old school band in the sheer essence. We always believed that there would come a management or something to help us with that part, but at the same time we never wanted to take any compromises. It was as if we put a giant neon sign over us saying: "We will not cooperate!" (laughs). So who would want to work with a band like that? But I love Lingua. I'm proud of what Lingua was, but it is the attitude that we had and I can totally understand why people weren't really that keen on working with us.

Dave at Dave Moulton's Bike Blog has tagged me as part of a meme in which I'm supposed to reveal five facts about myself. Let's see if I can keep them all to a bike theme…
1. I first learnt to ride a bike when I was 8 years old. Given that I lived in a rural area and went to school with kids who rode bikes before they could walk, this was a relatively late age to learn to ride a bike.
2. I was taught to ride a bike by my best friend's older sister. There were no training wheels, no gentle lessons. I was simply pushed around and around until I could do it without anyone holding me up. I remember falling off — a lot. I don't, however, remember crying. I think I was so determined I was going to ride a bike that I didn't give a toss if I killed myself in the process!
3. My first bike was "loaned" to me by the girl who taught me to ride. It was an old red thing that she used to ride when rounding up the cows on the family's dairy farm! It was rusty but it was reliable. And once I'd mastered the art of staying upright while turning the pedals I was officially "gifted" the bike. I rather suspect that kind of generosity would be unheard of today.
4. I got my first proper bike from Santa the same year I learnt to ride. It had big dragster-type handlebars with purple and white streamers coming out of the hand grips! The bike was purple. The seat was white. I loved it.
5. I used to stick bits of cardboard in the spokes so that they would rub against the tyres and create a sound which, to an eight-year-old's ears at least, resembled a motorbike. Don't laugh. Every kid I ever knew did this too — it was so much more "professional" than simply making the noise with your mouth.
I am supposed to tag five other people to run with this meme, but I'm not going to do that. However, if you're that way inclined please feel free to give it a whirl…

SEO Weekly Recap (London Bridges Edition)
Hey folks, Austin here, and it's time for another Weekly SEO Recap (London Bridges Edition) .
What happens if you Google SEO? You get all the latest SEO articles Google thinks are relevant to your search. But are they relevant to you? Let me be the judge of that and help you cut to the chase.
How to Avoid the Unrealistic Expectations SEOs Often Create
Now this isn't exactly an article but one of Moz's great Whiteboard Friday videos, and it's totally worth it. The hardest thing in SEO isn't getting a website on page one, but managing your client's expectations! I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've approached a client with gigantic, superbowl touchdown in the last minute of the game WINS…..and the client simply passes over it saying, "what's next?" It leaves me dumbfounded at times trying to understand where my client's expectations are so I can communicate to them in such a way that they can understand the value of the service I provide. Plus this video is breaking down what are job is step by step in case you feel lost in the movement of the SEO world. So Rand has some excellent tips on a very important subject and you should definitely take a look!
– The BEST explanation of "SEO is Dead" argument
– Step by Step System for doing SEO these days
– Rand's Hair….Seriously I couldn't stop staring at it…
What Does Psychology Have to Do with Creating Engaging Headlines?
Writing engaging headlines is a must for not only increased click through rates, but can lead to higher social media shares. When it comes to understanding the psychology of our target audience, which is a MUST in SEO this article has some good advice, but there a few things that just don't come across very well. For example the author says, "Two Ways to Better Your Financial Situation" should be changed to "Are You Missing Out on These Two Simple Ways to Guarantee Financial Success?" First off this is WAY too long to fit in the SERP and Google would cut it off midway, and that would kill your click through rate completely! Instead I would shorten it to, "Two Weird Tricks to Guarantee Financial Success." Still I'm not perfect in this field either and this article does highlight some good stuff that we could add to our toolbox.
– Easy breakdown of Marketing Psychology
– Links to Great Sources
– A Tad Long
– Some odd examples
How Google's Penguin 3.0 Is Playing Out Across The Web
When ever Google releases a major new algorithm update it takes a lot of testing among the SEO community to figure out exactly the intensity of the algorithm impact on the SERP. Petrescu was gracious enough to share with all of us the data he and his company have collected and he shows some interesting things, the most surprising is that Penguin 3.0 might have different impacts on the SERP from country to country? One thing that I've personally noticed but didn't have any data till this seeing this article is that Penguin 3.0 hit low ranking websites on page 3 and below hardest. This article is worth a quick skim through, but I think you'll get the gist of it with out a detailed read through.
– Data to explore Penguin 3.0
– Quick Read & to the Point
– Could use links to more data

Water is essential for the human body: it moistens the oxygen we breathe, regulates body temperature and helps the body to absorb nutrients. It also protects the vital organs, lubricates the joints and helps convert food into energy. Water is also required for the metabolism and digestive process.
You need to drink at least one and a half litres of water per day to stay hydrated, especially during spells of hot weather.
Never drink water from rivers or lakes. The most reliable sources of clean water are springs and streams. Do not even wash your hands near places where you see dead fish or animals in the water.

Zebra Print Nails
A friend of mine is having a second birthday party for her daughter and the theme is basically "hot pink and zebra print". I thought this sounded like an interesting idea for nails so I gave it a try. I started with Sinful Colors Snow Me White and then sponged Dream On (also Sinful Colors) on the tips. I added a coat of Insta-Dri and waited for it to dry and then used Sinful's Black on Black for the stamp using plate m57 and a final coat of Insta-Dri.
Labels: m57, Sinful Colors, stamping, zebra

Tear gas and water cannons were used by Turkish police to disperse hundreds of people protesting against security operations and curfews in the mainly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir. Police made 33 arrests.
Senior officials of the opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) had called for an end to what they called a "massacre" in Diyarbakir's historic district of Sur which has been on lockdown since the start of December.
HDP Chairman Selahattin Demirtas said on Wednesday that his party would "resist" what he called the destruction of cities and the killing of civilians in the name of fighting terrorism. Police and soldiers have launched operations against militants of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) who put up barricades and dug trenches in the neighborhood following the breakdown of a two-year ceasefire last July.
"The people of Diyarbakir are against the government's policy of war and massacre and the burning and destruction of their own city," Demirtas said in an interview.
The number of civilians killed during the security operations in Sur, Cizre and two other towns, Silopi and Idil, has reached 211 since December, the HDP said.
Prime minister' warning
On Wednesday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said members of the HDP, the third largest party in parliament, had sought to collaborate with "terrorists" and to drag Turkey into chaos. Parliamentary immunity should not protect lawmakers who "commit crimes," he said.
Davutoglu also said there were plans to make it easier for civilians to leave areas under curfew, as well as to allow militants to surrender.
Residents returning to the homes they fled last December in the city of Cizre, have tried to retrieve belongings from houses either destroyed or badly damaged during the round-the-clock curfew. The curfew in Cizre, which lies on the Syrian border, lasted a total of 79 days.
"We fled on December 14 along with our kids, only taking our clothes we wore. Nothing else," said Hadi Akyurek, a local shopkeeper. "Our house was destroyed. Our belongings remained under the rubble. We are left with nothing."

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), like Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, is becoming "curiouser and curiouser" – in its pronouncements, staff movements and selective even malicious investigation and prosecution of corruption cases.
I agree with Tun Mahathir's lawyer Mohd Haniff Khatri Abdulla who questioned why the MACC issued a statement of denial on the reason cited by its former Special Operations Division director, Bahri Mohd Zin, on his early retirement.
It is certainly "strange and awkward" that the MACC had done this after allegedly contacting Bahri, who allegedly denied to MACC in making such a statement and yet the MACC could not coax Bahri to issue a denial – resulting in the MACC statement losing all credibility.
There is considerable merit in Mohd Haniff's challenge calling on the Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohanmed Apandi Ali and the MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Dzulkifli Ahmad to explain transparently the MACC's investigations into SRC International and why the SRC International case was never brought to court, when it seems to be an open-and-shut case against the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak for corruption and abuse of power.
Earlier yesterday, Bahri confirmed that he opted to retire from his post two years earlier because he was frustrated with how the MACC investigations into SRC International went.
When contacted last night by Malaysiakini on the MACC statement, Bahri said to wait for his official statement soon, commenting that "Those who consume 'dedak' (animal feed) are everywhere, on the outside and within the government."
He said: "Don't confuse the people by making statements on my behalf, hear it from my own mouth."
The whole scenario became trebly "curiouser" when the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, tweeted for "stern action" against retired civil servants who used their position to make statements which could cause a bad perception on the present government.
What if these retired servants are speaking the truth?
Does Azalina want the retired civil servants to live with lies and falsehoods for the rest of their lives, as if they are not upright, honest and God-fearing human beings?
Bahri's early retirement reminds Malaysians of another early retirement of the MACC Chief Commissioner, Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamad mid-year which was more than two years earlier than his contract which was due to end on Dec. 4, 2018.
Both "early retirements" were supposed to be "voluntary" – although the more correct term would have been "voluntarily forced out" of their positions because they have lost the power to be effective MACC officers.
Malaysians are also reminded of Tan Sri Gani Patail's "voluntary relinquishment" of the post of Attorney-General three months before his retirement, allegedly for "health" reasons, but in his recent call to the Bar on 23rd December last year, Gani was the very picture of "health and fitness".
What was the real cause of Gani's unconstitutional sacking as Attorney-General which he had held for 13 years – had it anything to do with the alleged charges being prepared against the Prime Minister himself in connection with corruption and abuse of power relating to MACC's SRC International investigations under Abu Kassim and Bahri?
The "forced" early retirements of Abu Kassim, Bahri and even Gani Patail, are the latest examples that the Federal Government had lost its moral compass, deviating from the five Rukunegara principles, viz: Belief in God; Loyalty to King and Country; Upholding the Constitution; Rule of Law and Good Behaviour and Morality – the legacy of Tun Razak, the second Prime Minister of Malaysia and father of the present Prime Minister.
Is the Najib Government prepared to restore the moral compass to his government by commissioning a Public Inquiry where former public servants like Gani Patail, Abu Kassim and Bahri Mohd Zain can speak openly, freely and frankly on the lessons the country and future generations can learn from their public services?
A government which is afraid of the truth and want to hide in the darkness of deceit and falsehood would not want any such airing of what the country can learn from the public service experiences of leading public servants.
We would then be afraid of the light, cower from the truth, and deviated from the Rukunegara principles in particular "Upholding the Constitution, Rule of Law and Good Behaviour and Morality".
This is the greatest tragedy of Malaysia – six decades after Merdeka in 1957!

A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Major: Agronomy Under the Supervision of Professor Patricio Grassini Lincoln, Nebraska August, 2016

Soybean demand remains strong and continues to grow as a source of protein and oil for food and feed. Soybean production is expanding into cooler and warmer environments, thus, it becomes critical to expand the current knowledge about the influence of temperature on soybean. Temperature is the main environmental factor effecting node appearance rate (NAR) and node initiation rate (NIR), which are key parameters controlling soybean growth and development. This study aims to assess the response of NAR and NIR to temperature and investigate the coordination between these two processes under controlled and field conditions. Two greenhouse experiments with four contrasting mean temperatures (15-26ºC) and two field experiments with different sowing dates (April 23 to June 19) were conducted using maturity groups 2.1 and 3.0. The number of appeared nodes was measured every 2 to 7 days from sowing to ca. R5 to estimate NAR (nodes d-1). Stem apex was dissected every 4 to 7 days from sowing to ca. R3 to estimate NIR (nodes d-1). A co-ordination model was fitted between the number of initiated nodes and number of appeared nodes. Significant relationship was found in response to temperature of NIR and NAR. A constant plastochron of 36ºCd and dual value for phyllochron (83 and 58ºCd) depending on ontogeny was observed, with base temperature of ca. 10ºC for both processes. There is a strong two-phase co-ordination between node initiation and node appearance. This work established the response of NAR and NIR to temperature which could improve prediction of phenology, leaf area, and yield by the current soybean simulation models.
