A fantastic late fightback from the Imps resulted in a 4-3 victory over a young Nottingham Forest side in what was a very entertaining night of football down at Sincil Bank.
Forest almost took the lead inside the 1st minute. Full back Jordan Gabriel burst down the right and fired a left footed shot just over the bar.
City then responded with a chance of their own, the ball fell to Callum Howe following a corner with his half volley hitting the post.
Josh Ginnelly then found a yard of space on the edge of the box and curled a right footed shot just over the bar.
Tyler Walker made the breakthrough for Forest on 9 minutes. He found space 6 yards out and slotted past Vickers but there looked to be a clear foul in the build up which wasn't seen by the officials.
Forest then doubled their lead in the 12th minute. Luke Waterfall didn't get enough power on his back pass which meant Lica went clean through on goal to make it 2-0 with a cool finish.
City looked very dangerous from set pieces and almost scored from a corner shortly afterwards. Bossin made a smart save on the line from a Waterfall header and a goalmouth scramble followed but the Imps couldn't squeeze the ball over the line.
Michael Bostwick almost halved the deficit with a header of his own at the near post following a Ginnelly centre.
Elliott Whitehouse finally got a goal back for the Imps after the half hour mark. He hit an excellent left footed drive from the edge of the 18 yard box into the bottom corner.
Bostwick was starting to dictate play with some excellent balls out to the wings as the Imps tried to find an equaliser before half time. Gerry McDonagh then went into the book after a late tackle on Sean Long.
The Imps remained unchanged for the start of the second half.
Sloppy defending from City led to Forest scoring their third in the 48th minute. A smart cutback from Lica found Tyler Walker who finished past Vickers.
After the hour mark Matt Green, Matt Rhead, Nathan Arnold, Sean Raggett and Alex Woodyard replaced Elliott Whitehouse, Ollie Palmer, Harry Anderson, Callum Howe and Billy Knott.
Trialist Bob Harris went close shortly afterwards curling a left footed effort over the bar.
Lincoln scored their second in the 80th minute, a fantastic run from Ginnelly led to him cutting the ball back to Matt Green who fired in at close range. Nathan Arnold almost squeezed in an equalizer straight after the restart but his effort was deflected into the hands of keeper Liam Bossin.
Matt Rhead then went close in the 83rd minute, his left footed effort was blocked on the line at close range. Josh Ginnelly looked very sharp all evening and was a constant menace down the left.
City finally got their third goal in the 86th minute and what a goal it was! Bostwick produced a stunning overhead kick into the top corner to make it 3-3. Josh Ginnelly was then replaced by Ellis Chapman in the 88th minute.
The Imps got their winning goal in the 90th minute and deservedly so. Nathan Arnold latched onto an excellent Bob Harris through ball to emphatically finish past Bossin.
This meant that three goals scored in the last 8 minutes was enough for the Imps to secure a great comeback.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS NEWS PEOPLE
Magenta Living gears up for development with home grown project teams
24th June 2019 24th June 2019 Mark Cantrell	development, employment, Magenta Living, North West, staff development, training, Wirral
A North West housing provider is not only investing in building more homes, it's also putting money into growing its own inhouse development team.
Magenta Living has invested in an internal training programme designed to nurture home-grown project manager talent in its development team. The move is intended to support the roll-out its largest ever "affordable" home building programme.
The organisation says that by focusing on up-skilling existing employees and providing on-the-job training within its development team, it can equip employees with a range of in-demand capabilities and experience, thereby developing its own talent pool of future project managers.
The approach has seen the development team take on people from elsewhere in the business, as well as promoting within its own ranks.
Former income officer, Lauren Huggon has taken up a trainee project manager post, along with Annette Westwater who was previously a development assistant. Further trainee roles in the development team are planned for the near future.
Louise Edwards, previously a project manager in the team, has been promoted to senior project manager. The internal appointments have been complemented by the recruitment of Carole Dowd who was previously with Your Housing Group and has also taken up a senior project manager role.
The new influx of talent is expected to support Magenta Living in delivering its current development programme, which will see it build more than 650 new homes in locations across the Wirral and wider North West by 2022. The new properties will consist of a variety of tenures, with homes being built for rent, sale and shared ownership.
The housing provider also has plans to raise additional finance that will enable it to increase the size of its development programme to 2,270 new homes.
In Wirral the housing provider is working on several new developments, including schemes in Woodchurch, West Kirby, Eastham and Wallasey.
Other developments currently underway include Halton Court in Runcorn, where Magenta Living is building 71 homes, providing a mixture of shared ownership and affordable rent properties, and The Elephant in Shavington, a 45 home scheme with a mixture of affordable and shared ownership, ranging from one bedroom to four-bedroom properties.
Magenta Living's head of development, John Siddell said: "Project management expertise is in high demand, both within our own organisation and across the property and construction industry but there is a shortage of experienced people available to fulfil those roles. By training up our own project management experts we are creating our own talent pool – a readily available resource that will enable us not only to deliver our current development programme as efficiently as possible but also to hit the ground running as and when we expand that programme. It's also extremely important to Magenta Living, as an employer, that we invest in our people and give them a chance to learn new skills and enhance their career prospects."
Lauren Huggon, trainee project manager added: "This is a really exciting time to be part of Magenta Living's development team, given the scale of the projects we're undertaking. Being able to learn on the job means we are developing practical skills as well as theoretical ones and the senior members of the development team have been extremely supportive, giving us the time and insight we need to become fully rounded project managers."

China Calls Biden "Powerless" for Apologizing at the G20 for Trump Pulling Out of the Paris Climate Agreement
On November 5, 2021 November 4, 2021 By kingsjesterIn Politics
Biden has now apologized to China for Trump not kissing their ass, and they are laughing at him. God, he is going to get us in a war with his weak ass stupidity.
— Tennessee Boy (@TennesseeBoy8) November 5, 2021
China has taken President Biden's comments in Glasgow climate summit as a chance to mock the president as "powerless," despite the absence of President Xi Jinping from the conference.
Biden spoke at the opening of the COP26 U.N. climate summit on Monday, stressing the need for "action and solidarity" while also using the moment to "apologize" for the fact "the U.S., under the last administration," pulled out of the Paris accord.
"I guess I shouldn't apologize, but I do apologize for the fact that the United States under the last administration pulled out of the Paris agreement. That kind of put us behind the eight ball a bit," Biden said.
Beijing-backed news outlet the Global Times published a piece the following day that ridiculed Biden's "noble" apology. The report highlighted the discord between American voters, noting some comments online from "netizens" who "cannot wait until 2024 when the Republican Party, or even Donald Trump himself, apologizes for Biden's apology."
The report attempts to highlight the more controversial side of the climate change discussion in the U.S. and played up the differences between Biden and former President Donald Trump. Xu Liang, an associate professor at the School of International Relations of the Beijing International Studies University, claimed that such displays by American leaders showed "the declining U.S."
Meanwhile, Xi has been absent from the Group of 20 summit in Rome and this week's global climate talks in Scotland, drawing criticism from Biden and questions about China's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
China is the world's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide and has pledged to begin reducing that output by 2030 and obtaining carbon neutrality by 2060. The U.S. and others have urged Beijing to make bigger commitments, but Xi's administration has strongly implied those will only come in exchange for political concessions.
Trump himself had seized on Biden's comment, claiming that world leaders were "laughing" at Biden.
Trump was right…again.
So, what would stop a President of the United States of America from standing up like a man and responding to China for their insulting remarks?
FoxNews.com reported on October 16th of last year that
One of the people on an explosive email thread allegedly involving Hunter Biden has corroborated the veracity of the messages, which appear to outline a payout for former Vice President Joe Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.
One email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of "remuneration packages" for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as "Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC," in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.
The email includes a note that "Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate." A proposed equity split references "20" for "H" and "10 held by H for the big guy?" with no further details. Fox News spoke to one of the people who was copied on the email, who confirmed its authenticity.
Sources told Fox News that "the big guy" is a reference to the former vice president. The New York Post initially published the emails and other controversial messages that Fox News has also obtained.
Hunter Biden was the point of the spear in a Foreign Policy scandal which is just a small part of what will go down as the most corrupt Presidential Administration in history, making the Warren G. Harding Teapot Dome Scandal pale in comparison.
All of this boggles the mind. Think about it:
The Clinton Foundation Pay-for-Play
The Bidens' misuse of the power of the Vice-President for personal gain
President Barack Hussein Obama's $150 billion bribe of the murderous Mullahs of Iran which included hosting Radical Islamists like the late (Thank God) Gen. Quassem Soleimani at the White House
The trading of Muslim Terrorists for the traitorous Bowe Bergdahl
And, of course "Spygate", the Steele Dossier, and the unmasking of Gen. Flynn
The entire attack on Former President Trump, which lasted his entire first term, the Special Counsel's "Russian Collusion" investigation, and the hurried Democratic Sham Impeachment were all part of a strategy to cover up the out-of-control corruption, both foreign and domestic, which took place during the Obama Administration with the knowledge and consent of President Barack Hussein Obama, himself.
That would certainly explain the Democrats' over-the-top reaction to losing the 2016 Presidential Election and their vicious rhetoric and unconstitutional political actions and schemes since.
Former President Trump was right all along.
Just let this soak in, boys and girls…
We have a President of the United States of America who is owned by Communist China!!!
If the dots can be connected in the case of Hunter Biden's and his father's history of corruption and the Obama White House and their Foreign Policy, it could be absolutely huge.
If our Sovereign Nation is to survive, this out-of-control political corruption, perpetrated on behalf of a Shadow Government by Deep State Operatives, must be dealt with and those responsible brought to justice.
No matter to whom the trail of corruption leads.
By the way, where IS Hunter Biden?

The above video clip may look like a Saturday Night Live skit, but it's not. It's just Seth Rogen being quite possibly the world's most awesome son-in-law (who knew?) by testifying before a U.S. Senate subcommittee about Alzheimer's research. It turns out that his mother-in-law has the disease, and the Canadian comedian is fighting to make sure money is appropriated to fund medical research on her behalf. Pass the hanky.
Appearing on C-SPAN in a suit and tie, Rogen recounted his mother-in-law's struggles. "After forgetting who she and her loved ones were," he testified, "She forgot how to speak, feed herself, dress herself, all by the age of 60." He and his wife, Lauren, have helped raise money for Alzheimer's patients and their families through Hilarity for Charity.
The testimony wasn't without a comic moment, of course. "I came here today for a few reasons. One, I'm a huge House of Cards fan..." he quipped. "Two, people need more help. I've personally witnessed the massive amount of financial strain this disease causes.... Three, to show people they are not alone, so few people share their personal stories." He also joked that he was insulted that the committee chairman has never seen Knocked Up.
Jokes aside, we're pretty impressed with Rogen right now. Looks like Lauren (and her mom) found a good one.


Many people have bad credit problems, when the lenders see tax liens they understand that this person applying for a loan is holding a bad credit history with the Government agencies like the IRS or local county un paid bills.
Getting the credit report cleaned and fixed is possible, with credit repair companies that charge high fees, or with a simple home credit repair software that cost a fraction of the expected fees.
Both can help you fix bad credit reports even with tax liens placed on them.
Here are a few strategies and guidelines you can follow that will help you avoid tax liens trouble, it is better to avoid those burdening on your credit report.
The IRS will send an immediate notice to notify you that you are in a slippery down hill if the unpaid taxes are left undone. The letter you get may seem pleasant and not intimidating but still you should never dismiss them.
Ignoring these notices will will cause the IRS (or any other agency) think that you are delaying your response deliberately because you probably are trying to hide assets and rename property on other family members to avoid the tax lien on YOUR real estate. So there fastest defense those agencies have is to place tax liens on all your assess as fast and as powerfully as they can.
If you do not plan to run… Don't hide.
Have you received a notice? Answer it as fast as you can, opening a dialog is the best way to avoid tax liens files against you.
The IRS cannot guess your intentions and understand the financial place you might have fallen into. Try to straighten out any unpaid tax and you are trying to be in compliance with the tax law. It is possible that Tax liens will not be placed on you for a single tax glitch… (though you may have to pay penalties). If you avoid answering the letters, or have more taxes or bills unpaid, the IRS will understand this is more systematic and will hurry to place tax lien quickly.
This old Chinese saying belongs to Sun Tzo the great Chinese Strategy Philosopher. It gets more real than you can even imagine when it comes to the IRS collector agents. Though the IRS seem a huge bureaucratic giant, in the end it will be those people who will determine whether to place a tax lien on you and your property. So choose your enemies.
Those IRS agents are used to being under treats, talked to with bad language and have plenty of dishonest promises made and ignored by tax payers. Eventually all these taxpayers find soon enough they chose the wrong enemies, and the IRS collectors will place a heavy penalty and tax lien on them.
If you treat them in a civilized manner (they are at work just like you are/were); if you speak reasonably and avoid hollow promises which you do not intend to keep; there is a good chance they will feel empathy for you and find other ways rather than tax lien to reach a solution which will be best for all sides.
This is not a name of a movies, but a simple truth concerning who do you owe money to. Unless you owe money to some criminal gang, which can offer you offers 'you can not refuse'… It is best you even borrow money from what ever lending solution you can and pay the IRS some down payment or the next due payment.
Having a Government tax lien placed on your credit report or property is a financial blow no lending company or bank will over look. It is best to consult with a tax professional divisor to see what are the possibilities that are open for you. The IRS is willing to proceed and compromise with those they believe will not con them and play games to stall time.
The tax laws are some of the most complex law in the Government law book. You can be sure the IRS have professionals tax lawyers handling your files and evaluating the best way to get the tax money you owe. Who are you going to bring to your corner of the 'ring'? If you bring a 'big canon' to the field the IRS would know they might be losing their professional advantage over you; and may be more willing to compromise a solution rather than using their rightful legal enforcement power, and place a tax liens on you.
If you show up alone (David and Goliath) then 99% of those brave taxpayers cases show that in their case – Goliath wins.
Getting your credit report fixed is a slow process that needs a lot of attention and following little details with many agencies. A tax lien stain on the credit report is harder (but possible) to be erased. Do your self a favor and try to avoid tax lien trouble on your credit report. If your credit report needs a deep repair you can succeed with the aid of a credit repair university program.
Credit repair university program is not free, it cost around $50, but every little dirty spot you manage to erase from your credit report is worth hundreds of dollars monthly at lower mortgage rates, lower credit rates mean annual savings of thousands of dollars.
So What Is Your Next Step?
Every week you are wasting money.. sending dozens of dollars to the rich credit companies, who relay on you to keep doing NOTHING.
If your score is below 700, you might want to do something about it – get this 'Credit Repair University' which will save you money and time.
You are probably paying thousands of dollars per year in fees and interests to credit companies which could be going straight to your pocket.
So do your math… and take action NOW.

Protection has long been regarded as the poor relation of financial planning. Undervalued by providers and advisers alike in the scramble for market share of pensions and investments to get at funds under management. It is, therefore, unsurprising then that consumers also undervalue protection and that there is an estimated 2.2tn protection gap in the UK.
This week, I am looking at one of the most popular areas of inheritance tax planning, namely the use of potentially exempt transfers.

Marines save two downed pilots during humanitarian mission in the Philippines
By Gina Harkins on	 December 3, 2013 Aviation, Battle Rattle
Members of Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152, rescued two downed helicopter pilots on Nov. 24, during Operation Damayan in the Philippines. From left to right: Master Sgt. James Holdaway, Lance Cpl. Daniel Lopez, Sgt. Chris Weins, Sgt. Jason Differ, Cpl. Christopher Oliver, Capt. Christopher Kim and Maj. Jason Kauffman.
(Sgt. John Lamb/Marine Corps)
Seven Marines aboard a KC-130J Hercules rescued two pilots after their helicopter lost power and crashed into Manila Bay while they were assisting with relief efforts following last month's typhoon in the Philippines.
Maj. Jason Kauffman, a pilot with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152, said the Marines were conducting aerial logistics support on Nov. 24, between Tacloban, Manila and former Clark Air Base, the three hubs the Corps set up during Operation Damayan. They were also transporting three members of Congress who traveled to the Philippines to observe the relief efforts: Reps. Trent Franks, R-Ariz.; Chris Smith, R-N.J.; and Al Green, D-Texas.
As they were preparing to land in Manila, they heard a mayday call from two pilots transporting relief supplies. One was American, the other German.
"They were still airborne at the time, but said they were 'going down' 16 miles northwest of Manila," Kauffman said.
But the situation got more complicated when the rest of their transmission was interrupted by another aircraft using the same frequency. Pilots are supposed to stop communications over the frequency when a mayday call is heard, but they either disregarded it or didn't hear it, Kauffman said. So the pilots' exact position wasn't clear.
An Australian C-130 was in the area, Kauffman said, and he began communicating with that pilot who heard the full transmission. The Marines asked to cancel their approach in order to assist with the downed helo, Kauffman said, and one of the stranded pilots responded directly.
"The downed crew heard us make that call, and he actually said, 'Yes, please, we want the C-130 to assist,' " he said. "I could hear desperation in his voice as he transmitted that call."
Still operating without much information, Kauffman and his crew headed towards their location. They descended to 1,500 feet and got back in touch with the Australian pilot, who was at 300 feet. The Australian pilot helped to guide them to the downed pilots' location.
Kauffman told the Australian pilot they had a raft they could push out to the pilots in the water. They were also ready to assume "on-scene commander" duties, so the Australian pilot climbed in altitude so the Marines could get lower.
The Marines got down to 300 feet and Kauffman slowed the aircraft speed to search for the crew. The Australian pilot remained overhead to assist with radio calls, and one of the pilots in the water had an emergency radio he was using to communicate, Kauffman said.
"We did not see any wreckage from the helicopter at all," he said. "No oil slick, no flotsam, nothing. The pilots had no water survival equipment either — no sea dye, no flares, no flotation devices."
The bay was also a bit choppy that day, making it difficult to see two people treading in the water from 300 feet in the air. Kauffman said it wasn't for the emergency radio, the Marines might not have ever found the pilots.
The entire crew, including the congressmen began scanning the water for a sign of the pilots, he said. Once they spotted them, they marked their position and refined their orbit pattern, he said. The descended to 200 feet and crew in the back of the aircraft began preparing to kick the raft out.
The downed pilot with the radio was calling for them to immediately "drop, drop, drop," Kauffman said. But they still couldn't see them clearly enough.
Kauffman said he didn't want to drop the large raft on top of them from 200 feet, risking their injury or death. So they asked him to again call out turns for another pass, and that one proved successful.
"I gave the command to our crew in the back to deploy the raft, the raft deployed and inflated in mid-air and fell down to the water as designed," Kauffman said. "The pilots swam to the raft and climbed in."
They stayed in the area for about an hour and requested that Manila Ground Control contact the Philippine Coast Guard. They asked repeatedly that the coast guard provide an expected arrival time so they could get the pilots out of the water, but the information never came, Kauffman said. So they flew low over several fishing boats, flashing their lights in hope they would respond.
Eventually a fishing boat headed in the direction of the downed pilots and pulled them aboard. Kauffman and his co-pilot, Capt. Chris Kim, were able to speak to them a few hours later.
"He told me that his engine failed and he had to auto-rotate into the water," Kauffman said. "He told me that he had about 30 seconds between engine failure and hitting the water. Their helicopter pitched over after hitting the water and sank almost immediately."
He said the pilot must have executed a textbook auto-rotation emergency landing in order to have touched down onto the water gently enough to prevent injuries.
Kauffman credits his crew's training for their quick and professional response. Every aviator should be prepared to assist other airmen in distress, he said, and they make a checklist before every mission to make sure they're ready for that type of emergency. The rescue also reaffirmed his faith, he said.
"As a fellow airman and Marine, I feel like we did nothing more than keep faith with the two pilots in distress and did our duty as Marines," Kauffman said. "As Christian man, I see a chain of events that led up to us being in vicinity of that helicopter crash at that specific time. I believe that God coordinated that rescue, and that part of the story is even more intriguing than the facts."

HACKETT STEVE - Genesis Revisited Band & Orchestra: Live (2 CD + Blu-ray)


This week I'll be discussing some recent Standard tournament results, as well as a few other items worthy of our attention.
@OwenTweetenwald's win in Albuquerque gave him back-to-back GP wins, an exclusive club indeed. He took it down with Mono-black, which was a popular theme over the weekend. Paul Reitzel, who placed 8th, tweeted this on Monday afternoon. It was a good weekend to be putting swamps into play.
With a whopping four Mono-black decks in the top 8, alongside three Mono-blue, there was barely a Shockland in sight. What there was, though, was 46 Mutavaults in the top 16. That means that 71% of Mutavaults that could have been played, were played. This type of saturation of a single card in Standard is not common at all. I don't even think Lightning Bolt reached that level of play when it was in M10 and M11 . Cards like Stoneforge Mystic and Jace, the Mind Sculptor reach 70% saturation rate.
What that means for your weekend is that the roughly $20 price tag is going to be very stable going forward. The card is as legitimate in Standard this time around as it was last time, so don't be afraid to pick up a playset. If this changeling presence persists, expect a price uptick in a few weeks when PTQ season starts in earnest, or possibly even sooner.
While not nearly as heavily played, but still pervasive, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx snuck its way into many of the Mono-X lists. Most were committed to the full set of Mutavaults, with a single Nykthos rounding out the colorless-land package. That is the current soup-de-jour, but could easily be turned on its head depending on how things shake out. A 4-1 split tells me the deck can support 5 colorless lands, and right now Mutavault is the better choice.
How much would it take to shift that? Anything that pushes the deck to go a little larger would probably want Nykthos more than Mutavault. Anything with an X in the mana cost would certainly accomplish that. Rakdos' Return? Gaze of Granite? Debt to the Deathless? Immortal Servitude? Mind Grind?
Return lets "mono" black fireball out opponents, as well as apply heavy pressure in the midgame against control decks and attrition mirrors. As a mythic it is set up to see a healthy price increase should it become popular. Mind Grind is spicy, basically being lethal when X is around 15, an easy number for Nykthos-fueled madness to reach. Grind could conceivably hit $3, being that the card is still $1 purely on casual mill demand. This makes me think that Mind Grind may not be bad throw-in material. Even if it totally whiffs in Standard, Nemesis of Reason is a $6 card today.
Even if nothing within the current card pool pushes the decks to go heavier on Nykthos, Born of the Gods may very well provide us with the necessary ingredients. We've got a lot of devotion enablers to go, as well as 10 lesser deities to appease, which means you've got plenty to be faithful to. With Cavern of Souls having been $20-30 in Standard, and Mutavault solidly at $20 right now with an expectation of growth, there is precedent for Nykthos to climb. We'll return to it a little later on.
Beyond the Mutavault supremacy, what else is going on? Mono-blue is still packed to the gills with Masters of Waves and Thassas. Both have slipped in price recently, but I expect this to be temporary. I'm guessing one or both will be over $15 this time next fall, when Theros is no longer the current major set. I've started looking for Master of Waves in every trade binder I flip through.
Hero's Downfall stubbornly remains at $10+. That a utility removal spell in a single format would command that high a price tag sort of amazes me, but I suppose when it's the best removal in arguably the best color, it's going to be more than pocket change. Perhaps I should be looking to Dreadbore to better understand how Murderbore will behave. Dreadbore has never managed to sink below $2-3, even with as close to zero relevant play as a card of that stripe could see. This would tell us that Murderbore's floor should be about the same. If we think of Murderbore as having a floor of $3, then a $10 price tag while seeing play in nearly 50% of the top 8 decks doesn't seem as unreasonable.
I advocated selling a few weeks ago when it was $15, but I think it's low enough that you could trade for a set without feeling bad about it. Given that it's only one color, and therefore considerably more versatile than Dreadbore, it's possible the number we get aggressive is around $6-7. The number of Burning-Tree Emissarys in Standard necessary to make Murderbore bad would be quite high indeed.
The Naya deck in the top 8 showed that competitive Magic players haven't forgotten about RtR block. It had a full compliment of a lovely singing voice, reminding everyone that at one point it may actually have been worth its current absurd price tag. At this point, if you still have any, I'd hold onto them. With the PTQ season around the corner, the card has a better chance of spiking again than fading away with no more price increases.
Advent of the Wurm was also four-of, a card I'm still carrying a torch for. Perhaps more interesting was the four Soldier of the Pantheon. Everyone has figured out by now that the card is good, but his price is pretty low all things considered. I'd be looking to snap these up in trade right now at ~$2. Champion of the Parish was $8 at one point, and I'd say Soldier has a better chance of seeing Modern play.
Boros Reckoner has been on a roller coaster ride lately. It was as high as $20 what feels like a week ago, and copies are available for under $11 again. I have to imagine this gets close to $20 once more before we sunset RtR. If you can trade for them at retail go for it, but good luck convincing someone they're that cheap again.
Over on the Starcity side of things, Matt Costa rose to the top of the field piloting a Jund deck. Reaper of the Wilds as a three-of immediately jumped out to me, proving its capability as a strong midrange card. Both Pat Chapin and Kibler had mentioned it recently, but without tournament results it was hard to know if it was real. I doubt the card is going to reach $10 or anything, but $4-$6 doesn't seem unreasonable. (Were you aware Cyclonic Rift is now $4?) This is another one that I wouldn't dish out cash for, but you should be able to steal copies in trade for $1 or less. Look for an article in the future about how to turn small gains in trade binder value value into real profit.
Abrupt Decay was also out in full force. Can this card break $10 during Modern season? It may be tough, as the Standard PTQ season will have ended, and many will be willing to liquidate their inventory. Next Modern PTQ season should be a good time for Decay though. A few months ago I predicted that foil Decay would be $60 within one year of RtR rotating. Do you have your set?
Back to Nykthos, last week I talked about a Modern Mono-green deck that looked awfully spicy. It was even one of LSV's daily decks recently. Included in that same link from Bing Luke was a Mono-Black deck. Since then, Phyrexian Obliterator has increased about 25%, and common sentiment is that it probably isn't done yet. Apparently, the Magic community is willing to consider Nykthos a real thing in Modern.
With that in mind, I want to look at the green deck a little more closely. It's got a lot going on we can be interested in. What stands out most to me is four Genesis Wave. Wave is about $2 on its own merit, with no competitive interest, putting it in a low tier of "casual cards with enough demand to raise the price above bulk." If the deck catches fire, Wave could easily hit $5-6, and depending on how wild the speculation is, $10+ is possible, although that would be a very short term price unless the deck puts up results.
That brings me to an important aside: cards spike all the time. The ones that stay high are the ones in decks good enough to be worth it. If a card like Genesis Wave spikes, sell immediately. The likelihood that the deck is good enough to support whatever number it reaches, rather than being a flash-in-the-pan that trickles to $3 eventually, is very very low.
Beyond Genesis Wave, there are three copies of Primeval Titan. He's sitting at around $6-$7 at the moment. Seeing play in a deck like this could bump him up closer to $10, and with Nykthos in the format, he may eventually become a little more of a mainstay. Fetching Valakut is typically a better use of his trigger, but remember that having Valakut in your deck doesn't get P Tats into play any faster, while Nykthos does. Maybe we see a Valakut/Nykthos deck? Who knows.
Cloudstone Curio is a big part of the deck as well, at $5-$6. The card popped to over $10 early this summer, so there's precedent on a jump. I'd try and grab your set soon. Garruk Wildspeaker is also a major component, but he's been printed six times, which will help suppress his value. He may see a small uptick, but with that much volume available, it will be tough for him to move too far.
Before I go, check out this completed eBay auction. How many of you even knew these existed, much less cost that much?
Well written article. I've been completely ignoring Standard as of late (just because I haven't found a deck I like yet), so I appreciate being caught up to speed. I'm with you on the Advent of the Wurm bandwagon, hoarding 20+ copies wishing they would pull ahead to above $5.
Thanks Doug. Time will tell on Advent soon enough, I suppose.


Ok, first the Broncos won the SuperBowl in spectacular fashion. What a great way to end a hard fought, gritty season. Whew!!
AND I got up this morning to the sound of heavy equipment and dump trucks clearing all the snow and ice from my street. The glacier that's been in front of my house has been a source of slipping and sliding, getting stuck, you name it, but today, thanks to the Town of Mead, it's gone!! Yay! It's a great Monday!

Why Nationals Manager Dave Martinez never panicked
In May, Dave Martinez's job as Nationals manager was in doubt. In October, he has Washington in the World Series. (John McDonnell/The Washington Post)
Jesse Dougherty
Reporter covering the Washington Nationals.
This wasn't Dave Martinez's idea of a good time.
It's not that he didn't want to be there, on a stage atop the infield at Nationals Park late Tuesday night, as the manager who brought the city of Washington its first pennant since 1933. Of course he did. His team, the Washington Nationals, was headed to the World Series. Anyone could get behind that. Martinez, though, isn't a big fan of public speaking. He would rather be in the dugout or the quiet of his office or walking around the outfield cracking jokes with his players.
But now the microphone was coming his way, and nearly 44,000 people and a national television audience were looking at him, and he had to think — fast — of what to tell them. He stalled by saying he didn't have any words. His voice cracked with emotion, a familiar sound, and that's when it hit him. That's when his mother's voice popped into his head.
"I'll say this," Martinez started. "Often bumpy roads lead to beautiful places."
A packed ballpark approved with a booming cheer. Yet the fans couldn't have known, in that moment, how hard Martinez tries to believe that. It wasn't always easy, no matter how many times Lillian Martinez told her son that phrase and no matter how many times he told it to himself.
When he was a kid growing up in Manhattan, mimicking Roberto Clemente's swing, melting hours into his father's baseball cards, Martinez couldn't process a mom's wisdom. He is the child of Puerto Rican parents, learned Spanish from a doting grandmother and spent hours dreaming of Clemente and the major leagues. Then whenever he slumped in a 16-year career — and he did slump — Martinez thought he would never make contact again. He lost sleep over failure. He got lost in his head.
But when the Nationals sank to 19-31 in mid-May and their World Series odds were close to zero, Martinez was older. Wiser. Ready to treat cliche as fact.
He heard the calls for his job but never read the stories. He had a health scare in September and feared for his life but rejoined the club before doctors had cleared him. Ask the Nationals how they arrived in the thick of autumn, a title chance in hand, and there is a common thread: the 55-year-old Martinez never panicked when many managers would have.
Then they found a beautiful place.
Off to the World Series, these Nationals have proved everyone wrong
Based on personal experience
Rewind to a month ago, to a calm afternoon in mid-September, when Martinez could walk through Washington's Union Station without attracting a crowd. It was two days before his heart tightened in the Nationals Park dugout, leading to a rush to the hospital and a cardiac catheterization that revealed no further issues. It was weeks before the Nationals advanced to the World Series, and had another champagne celebration, and Martinez stepped right into history.
Here in the train station, amid the bustle of commuters and commerce, was just an autograph session in front of the D.C. Lottery store. Martinez wore glasses instead of contacts. The Nationals' flight from Minnesota had landed at 5 a.m. He got only a few winks of sleep. His team had a slim lead in the wild-card race, with two teams closing, but Martinez wasn't worried. There had been time for doubt. This wasn't one of them.
"Yo, Davey, what's up with next season?" a young fan asked while pressing a photo of Martinez to the table. "Y'all going to be all right?"
"Next season?" Martinez shot back, twisting his face, before using a black Sharpie to scribble his signature. "We have a game later, man! Then we're going to the playoffs. But first, we have to go 1-0 against the Braves tonight."
The Nats followed their own path to the World Series, metrics be damned
When the Nationals were at their worst, stumbling through spring, stuck in fourth place, that's what Martinez had to say: We have to go 1-0 tomorrow. It could be maddening to hear, especially after tough losses, when it seemed like nothing was going to turn around. But he stuck to it. He looked into television cameras, his eyes narrowed, and he promised better results: "We'll come back and go 1-0." He sat in his office with General Manager Mike Rizzo and promised the same. If he walked through the clubhouse, a space he leaves to his veterans, it's what the players heard.
Maybe he mixed in a few curse words. Maybe his temper spiked behind closed doors. There's still a player in there somewhere, still a hypercompetitive drive, but Martinez doesn't have a public face. His message doesn't change when the audience shrinks. Tell his players that's impossible, and they push back.
"He manages like you'd expect an experienced player to," right fielder Adam Eaton said. "When you're hitting every day, pitching, whatever, you can't let any one thing eat you up. You'll go crazy. You'll burn out. Davey lived that, and as a result, we have such a relaxed environment. That starts with him."
"When you start to hear the rumblings about your manager getting fired, it's hard to ignore," closer Sean Doolittle said. "I don't think it's crazy to say that we played for Davey earlier this season. We played to keep him in this room."
Martinez doesn't like calling mandatory team meetings. He learned that from Bobby Cox, his final manager before he retired in 2002, and made it his approach. He held one in Milwaukee as the Nationals were swept by the Brewers in early May. He gave everyone a chance to say what they thought was wrong, one by one, and it became a model the team used moving forward. It helped the group come together when the year was spiraling downward in New York. Martinez only had to sit back and watch that gathering unfold.
Charting the wildest season in Nationals history
He otherwise prefers private conversations if a player is struggling. When young guys aren't hitting — such as rookie Carter Kieboom in April or Victor Robles as the year wore on — Martinez told them he hit .139 in his first season. He was just 21 then, a skinny outfielder for the Chicago Cubs, and so often let the game into his head.
He played for nine teams in 16 seasons, prided himself on his defense, was the sort of journeyman who makes a good coach. He remembers often sneaking away from the ballpark with a bat in his bag, declining dinner invitations from teammates, rushing back to his room for a night of work.
Travel wasn't like it is now, wasn't so luxurious, wasn't always big hotel suites and a ton of space. But Martinez had a routine. He would ask the medical staff for a roll of tape — fibbing a minor injury — and used it to clump his socks into makeshift baseballs. Then he flipped his mattress against the wall, screwed the top off the hotel lamp and had himself a tee. He would take hundreds of light swings, tuning his timing, bouncing the socks off the mattress and all over the floor.
One time he was so frustrated that he took a full cut and shattered the base of the lamp into pieces. He called his father, Ernie, and asked what to do. The front desk didn't believe that he was a frustrated ballplayer. They just told him not to worry, as if that were possible, and to get a little sleep.
"Everyone keeps asking me why I didn't blow up on these guys, why I didn't get upset, why I didn't think about getting fired when a lot of people thought I should be," Martinez said in late September. "That's because I've lived this. I've lived it so many times."
'They cured my heart'
Then he was in the back of an ambulance Sept. 15, connected to all those machines, wondering whether he maybe cared too much.
A lot crossed his mind on the ride to the emergency room. He wondered whether stress caused the pain. He thought about his children, his family and and his desire not to let them all down. He thought about his team, in the guts of a pennant race, and how he hated to miss even one pitch. But for once, he had to think about himself. His heart was telling him to slow down. Doctors would instruct him to stay away from coffee and alcohol and maybe try to sit more during games. Yet when they told him not to fly, for at least a few more days, Martinez went to Miami anyway.
"These guys back here, they cured my heart," Martinez said on the victory stand Tuesday night, nodding to his club after it swept the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series, not letting the crowd or cameras keep him from tearing up. "My heart feels great right now."
He soon left the stage and walked onto a packed field. Reporters converged. He took pictures with fans and friends and people he had never met. And when he found a sliver of space, for the shortest of moments, Martinez drew a long breath and looked around. The fans weren't leaving the stands. His players were hugging their wives, holding their kids, hoping against hope that the Nationals could win four more games. All they ever needed was a chance. He rubbed his graying beard and grinned.
This is what his mother was talking about all those years ago. This was why panicking never crossed his mind.

Reconstructing memory
Claude Fischer, professor of sociology | January 4, 2012
The Berkeley campus has an eatery with an interesting name and story: "The Free Speech Movement Café." At the 2000 dedication of the café, then-Chancellor Robert Behrdahl lauded the tumultuous student movement of 1964 for having brought adult rights to college students, including the right of free expression, and for having broadened civil debate.
Back in 1964, however, then-Chancellor Edward Strong strongly resisted the movement – as did probably most Californians; they saw it as an anarchic uprising. Californians now have a different, hallowed memory of the the FSM; old photographs of heroes, posters, and other memorabilia are plastered all over the walls and tables of the cafe.
We have yet blunter examples of how history gets reconstructed in its retelling. Recent California law, for example, required that K-12 students be taught about the historical contributions of women, blacks, and gays. And then there is the Texas School Board order requiring that history textbooks "describe the causes and key organizations and individuals of the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schafly, the Contract with America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority, and the National Rifle Association."
History is rewritten as much as it is remembered.
Rewriting history is common. Here is a description of the Reconstruction period after the Civil War from the best-selling history textbook of 1911: "Nearly 4,000,000 slaves had been liberated. Very few of them had any sense of responsibility or any capacity or capital for beginning a new life of industrial freedom. Their emotional nature led them to believe that prosperity was to be bestowed upon them without their effort . . . They were, with few exceptions, utterly unfit for the exercise of political rights . . . [T]he rule of these negro [sic] governments . . . was an indescribable orgy of extravagance, fraud, and disgusting incompetence . . ." (For more on this long-lasting textbook, see here.)
A leading history textbook of 2011, on the other hand, tells the story quite differently. It describes the freed slaves' self-education campaigns, their serious participation in politics, and the far-sighted reforms that the black legislators passed.
These are further examples of the creating and re-creating our "collective memory." (An excellent book on the topic is Kammen's, Mystic Chords of Memory.) In a few earlier posts, I described the struggles over defining school history curricula, the proper way to celebrate the 4th of July, the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday, and the "authentic" character of neighborhoods (here, here, and here). For a time, the status of Abraham Lincoln was also up for debate – was he a liberator? or, as many claimed, a tyrant? – until he was enshrined in that sacred memorial on the Mall (see here).
A similar set of issues arises on a quite different topic: global peace. Some activists stoke our concerns about war by stressing the horrors of modern conflict, evoking the notion that we have lost a peaceful past. Yet, the evidence is clear that the world has moved into an unusually peaceful era in the last few decades (see, e.g., here). One war is one war too many, of course, but somehow the image of a descent into ever-more-terrible war better grabs attention and stokes concern, and so there is value in constructing a "memory" that war has been spiraling up.
Academics are (largely) interested in what "really happened." Most people are probably interested in what the moral and political message of the past is – or should be. And so we will always be constructing and reconstructing collective memories to serve in our collective struggles of today.

Comments to "Reconstructing memory"
On the LA Times front page this morning there was a news analysis titled "California in retreat on social service spending" that documents the end of the California dream that we dreamed about during the FSM era.
The absolute fact is that we have totally failed to protect humanity from wars, poverty, class destruction and outrageous greed.
California government has placed social stability, the poor and families at unacceptable risk because of political and economic tyranny by those who have sold their souls for personal wealth and power with no regard at all for unacceptable consequences that future generations shall have to suffer.
I was privileged to live, work and raise a family during the 20th century when California was the land of opportunity, but we now have to face the consequences of our failures to protect the long-term future for our children because honor, integrity, morality and compromise are no longer dominant cultural values.
Now is the time for Berkeley professors and scholars to prove that UC Berkeley truly is the "preeminent public university in America" with leadership to change the course of history before it is too late to produce acceptable quality of life for the long-term future of humanity.
As a member of the class of '63 I can say that I have experienced the Best of times (Civil Rights legislation) and the Worst of times (Korean, Vietnam and Middle East Wars and outrageous greed). I have experienced cycles of history from Pre-WWII through the political, economic, social and environmental disasters we are producing today.
It has become most painfully obvious that even though we had the greatest opportunities for advancement of the human race in history, we haven't accomplished nearly enough to pass on an acceptable long-term legacy to future generations.
What we have proven most of all is that we have never learned nearly enough from the lessons of history to prevent continuation of never-ending cycles of growth and decay, never-ending failures by our political and intellectual leaders to meet the challenges of change, that is unless we finally commit the ultimate failure and become the cause of our own extinction.
I truly believe that Berkeley is still our last best opportunity to make the right things happen one more time like The Greatest Generation did, but I now wonder, almost beyond doubt, whether we are really capable of creating an acceptable quality of life for all future generations.

National Grid On Power Restoration: Under Circumstances, We've Performed 'Extremely Well'
Angry Customers Stage Protest At LIPA News Conference In Oceanside November 9, 2012 at 11:08 pm
Filed Under:Carol D'Auria, Dick Brennan, ed mangano, Gene Michaels, lipa, Long Island, Long Island Power Authority, Mike Xirinachs, Nor'Easter, Peter King, Steve Israel, Superstorm Sandy
(credit: CBS 2)(credit: CBS 2)
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — There was still no light Friday night for hundreds of thousands of Long Island homes.
About 150,000 frustrated Long Island Power Authority customers said the company was giving them the run-around and they want to know why.
They're running the response to the Long Island power outages, but even though so many customers are still out after 11 days, representatives from National Grid said, under the circumstances, they are doing OK.
"Under the conditions, I think we've performed extremely well," said Tom King of National Grid.
1010 WINS' Carol D'Auria Reports https://newyork.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/14578484/2012/11/wx-national-grid-2-dauria-w40-soc-acolton.mp3
Governor Andrew Cuomo has blasted the work by LIPA. CBS 2's Dick Brennan asked for a response to some of the governor's own choice words.
"We are progressing very well based on the unprecedented damage from the storm. As far as the system being obsolete, the owner of the system [LIPA] would be in a better situation to answer that question," said John Bruckner of the National Grid.
But the owner of the system, LIPA, did not show for the news conference. As for when the lights would be back on, authorities said the non-flooded homes should be back by Tuesday, but they could not say when the rest would be back.
Earlier, outrage with LIPA reached a boiling point.
What started as a news conference by the utility to inform the public on its progress in the restoration effort turned into an angry protest by frustrated customers.
More than 500 residents of Oceanside chanted "LIPA sucks" and said the utility has failed to provide information, give estimates as to when power will be restored, and dispatch workers to the hardest-hit communities.
1010 WINS' Gene Michaels reportshttps://newyork.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/14578484/2012/11/wx-national-grid-2-dauria-w40-soc-acolton.mp3
Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray and Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy told the crowd that their own calls to the utility have gone unanswered and want LIPA ultimately replaced, CBS 2's Carolyn Gusoff reported.
"One thing I think that's worse than an unanswered question is an unanswered phone call from an indifferent utility and that's exactly what's been going on with LIPA for the last two weeks," Murray, who is calling for an investigation, told WCBS 880's Mike Xirinachs. "It's outrageous."
Congressmen Steve Israel and Peter King, along with Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, have been calling on the federal government to take over LIPA's storm recovery effort.
"The military has a logistical competence at this," Israel said. "When the lights went off in Baghdad it was the Army Corps of Engineers that went into Baghdad and Kabul to turn the lights back on."
"The federal government must shake up and wake up LIPA to get the power turned on," Mangano said.
Oceanside residents said LIPA has abandoned them and others across Long Island who remain without power 11 days after Superstorm Sandy struck.
"We lost our house, my car, my job, we lost everything," one woman said. "We can't go back in our home because our electric is completely destroyed."
"Where is LIPA for the elderly, the children, everyone? I had my home impacted, my mother and we just want help," another woman said.
Plainview resident Al Gerstein told 1010 WINS his housing development lost power at 6 p.m. on Oct. 29 and has been in the dark ever since.
"We have called every elected official in the area. We filed a formal complaint with the public service commission. No one is getting back to us," Gerstein said. "LIPA has a recording on with no information concerning our area. We have not gotten one answer. It's been a disaster."
"We are neglected. The taxes are extremely high in that area and we deserve better," Gerstein added.
LIPA reported more than 173,000 outages, with the majority in flooded areas, Friday morning.
Chief Operating Officer Michael Hervey said the utility was aiming to have power restored by the middle of next week.
"The outages that we have leftover from the nor'easter plus the outages from Sandy piled up on us and really we lost about two days of progress in our restoration," Hervey said.
The nor'easter caused more than 120,000 outages, but power was quickly restored to about half of those customers, Hervey said.
"It was fairly devastating," Hervey said. "We have about 60,000 customers that were new outages that had never gone out in Sandy and then the nor'easter brought heavy wet snow that brought trees down and brought those lines down."
Hervey said he expects the utility would be putting out more information in the coming days as to when crews would be wrapping up work in specific towns.
WCBS 880's Mike Xirinachs reportshttps://newyork.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/14578484/2012/11/wx-national-grid-2-dauria-w40-soc-acolton.mp3
The utility said it is strengthening its efforts in restoring power to thousands impacted by Sandy and the nor'easter after facing criticism from state officials and frustrated customers.
LIPA said it has more than 14,000 workers dedicated to the restoration effort, including more than 8,200 field crews from across the country and Canada. Another 1,200 linemen were expected to join the effort Friday.
Homeowners in the flood zone were told by LIPA they need an electrician to certify it is safe to turn the power back on, even those who suffered no water damage, CBS 2′s Jennifer McLogan reported.
The utility said it is "continuing to advance" inspections in flooded areas of Long Island and Queens.
Crews were also working on restoring power to sewage treatment facilities, water pumping stations, nursing homes, 40 school districts and three universities.

Yep, you read that right. Milky Miso Ramen / ミルキー味噌ラーメン. They explain that it is a combined miso soup and vichyssoise ramen with cheese and veggies - i.e. miso as in the typical Japanese soybean paste soup, the vichyssoise being supposedly a thick soup made of pureed leeks, onions, potatoes, cream, and chicken stock, although here they just say it is a potato-based soup, and finally, potatoes, corn, and asparagus as "veggies." To me, it's a carbo feast -- potatoes, corn, ramen noodles, and partly the cheese and the milk. And the vichyssoise looked to me at first like a milk-based soup, but I didn't really know what it was. It was said to be invented only "recently" in America by a chef of French origin, and it is pronounced like bishisowaz, which incidentally is how they'd pronounce it in Japanese (ビシソワーズ). I liked this ramen only because it's something new, and yet it is something that you might find only in Japan. My Japanese friend though, who tried it as well, said he liked it least compared with the regular miso and the spicy miso ramen varieties. Likewise, I won't probably try it again. Nevermind all that cheese! 420 yen from the cafeteria and it doesn't come with any meat. I had to supplement it with karaage, to which my ramen probably said "You complete me."

Q: Error: Unable to access jarfile when I launch a process builder command I build one program in Java with a main into a jarfile and I want to executable an other. The second program is also a jarfile.
To execute the second program, I use a process builder to execute the second jarfile with these arguments. But i didn't worked and I have this message :
Error: Unable to access jarfile path/second_program.jar
In first, I think its the path was wrong. But, I have execute the second jarfile in a terminal on windows and on linux whitout any problem.

//IN THE FIRST PROGRAM
                Process process = null;
                List<String> commands = new ArrayList<String>();

                if (server.equals("TEST_linux")) {
                    commands.add("/bin/java");
                    commands.add("-jar");
                    commands.add("/mnt/c/Users/second_program.jar");
                    commands.add("param1");
                    commands.add("param2");
                } else {
                    commands.add("java");
                    commands.add("-jar");
                    commands.add("C:/Users/second_program.jar");
                    commands.add("param1");
                    commands.add("param2");
                }
                System.out.println(commands);
                //Execution de la commande externe
                ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(commands);
                System.out.println(pb.directory());
                pb.directory(new File(localFolder));
                System.out.println(pb.directory());

                pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
                process = pb.start();
                StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
                String line = null, previous = null;

                file_generated_by_second_program = output_folder + "/" + panel + "/file_generated_by_second_program.txt";

                myFile = new File(file_generated_by_second_program);
                writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(myFile, true));
                System.out.println(br.readLine());

All of the rest of the first program is executing perfectly. I use the first program which generated arguments to execute the second program which generate a file. This file is used after in the first program...
I can't launch the second program separatly...
Any ideas ?
UPDATE :
Here, these errors :
//Windows before suggestions :
Error: Unable to access jarfile C:/Users/second_program.jar

//Windows after suggestions :
Error: Unable to access jarfile C:\Users\second_program.jar

//Linux :
Error: Unable to access jarfile "/mnt/c/Users/second_program.jar"

System.out.println(br.readLine()); //==> this command doesn't execute too!

After the last row of my code, I create differents variables and these variables existing and there are no null. So for me, the problem is limited to the extract of my code...
SOLVED : I had an error in path...sorry

A: This is related to different path separator characters:

*

*Windows is using "\"

*Linux is using "/"

Usually, following problem can be solved by using File.separator property, which will return the right character basing on OS that you are running. However, i can see that you are most likely using WSL, so it might not work in this case and you would have to hard-code this.
Summing up, you need to fix path to jar for Windows and differentiate output paths for both OS.

Since my last post about the kid I've been listening to this non-stop. Decidedly Lo-Fi, he comes across as an adolescent Dr. Octagon, with decidedly less adolescent content.
That might not make sense, but the tape does. Perfect for sitting up, alone, in the dark, while the girl you just slept with sleeps and you wish she'd leave.

Mata – I'm Different
djbluebird	Uncategorized	g-side, Huntsville, Mata, Slow Motion Soundz	Leave a comment
So this finally got a video clip. Mata, of Paper Route Gangstaz is part of the Huntsville, Alabama collective that has given us G-side, Block Beattaz, Jackie Chain etc and the kind can rap real nice. The beat is typical of their output, more of a soundscape that brings a feeling to compliment the lyrical content+flow than just another rap beat.
What I liked about this is that on the video it includes DJ drops/promobot.
5 years ago this would've been a cause to upset a lot of people but now days, when most people consume music via youtube and mixtapes, it almost stnds as a commentary that that sort of behaviour is acceptable.
Or I'm just using it to back up me telling people that I think it's perfectly fine for tracks played in clubs to contain dj drops.
Raps with Live Musicians/Instruments
djbluebird	Uncategorized	benga, Block Beattaz, g-side, Katy b, magnetic man, Slow Motion Soundz	Leave a comment
Nine times out of ten when rappers and musicians link up to do a live performance it's garbage. Utter shit. Chali 2na, funky white people, "real hip-hop" shit. And it detracts from both participants. Most likely because they're not used to working together so it doesn't gel as well as rapping over the same instrumental you've done it over a million times in the recording studio as well as live. Or some "funky" jazz bongo playing white dreads stoner decides he can help a track with an improv moment. Fuck that noise, I'm not trying to hear it.
Then last year, this was amazing.
And, today I saw this. G-side can do no wrong at the moment. The whole slow motion soundz collective are all putting out work to watch for, from production to rapping to promoting their own stuff. This is due to being really selective about what they do and the quality of it, rather than taking the approach most rappers on the come up have taken, firing off any and all output and hoping some of it catches on. So it makes sense that they got the live instruments aspect right as well, even though the sound quality on the recording sounds like it's playing from the tapedeck in a 1989 corolla.
(5 years is too long in Australia, I was surprised to see black people playing violin…srsly.)
And just so you know, I don't care for The Roots, Jazzmatazz or any of that other shit that you most likely do if you're offended by the post.

There's something about tracks with a half dozen or so different rappers that I really like. Possibly because I grew up when rap groups were more common than solo artists. Having different people come in every verse (or half verse) stops shit getting boring and there can be some real entertainment later in the track when there are a couple of dubious artists and the quality falls to amateur hour levels.
Last few years it's been the go to for a new artist with a hit single to get a remix with about 10 a-list rappers – think throw some D's on it, black n yellow, aye bay bay. Which invariably ended up with Jim jones droning over the beat at some point because cam'ron seemed to go missing for a minute or two a couple years back. anyways, here's some posse cuts worth checking out.

You know how much I love making wreaths. I was trying to think of some ideas for a new summer wreath and came up with this one when I was shopping with Molly. We saw a bunch of flip flops and I thought it would be fun to make a wreath out of all them. I am so happy with how it turned out and it took about 30 minutes to make. I love when I can make a wreath for under $15.00! Hope you give this one a try!
Start by forming a circle out of the pool noodle and securing it with clear packing tape.
Next start attaching the flip flops to the pool noodle with the clear tape. Keep repeating this process until the entire wreath is covered.
Line the inside of the wreath with a ribbon of your choice- I chose burlap and secured them with push pins.
Last add a festive sign to the wreath and hang. I had this welcome flip flop sign from last year that I repurposed.

Movies – 10 Bedrooms From Popular Movies & TV Shows Fans Wish They Had
by Judie Simms
Home » Movies – 10 Bedrooms From Popular Movies & TV Shows Fans Wish They Had
One of the best parts of seeing our favorite characters on the big screen or on TV is seeing how they live. What's their home life like? What's their personal style? And more importantly, how did they decorate their bedroom? It's fun for viewers to decorate their own bedrooms after being inspired by their favorite characters.
RELATED: 10 Best Spin-Off Shows With Fan-Favorite Characters (& Their IMDb Score)
There are thousands of iconic bedrooms that fans have all seen on-screen wish they had themselves but there's something special about the ones on this list. They spoke to the inner teenager in all of us and inspired us to live boldly and sleep soundly.
10 Cher's Bedroom: Clueless
Cher lived in an enormous house in California that was filled with maids, cleaners, and staff all day long. Her dad was a prominent lawyer in the area who was able to give his daughter an incredible life… and an immaculate bedroom.
Cher's bedroom was massive and feminine. There was a walk-in closet with its own computer system, a fireplace, and Victorian wallpaper. Whether Cher decorated her room herself or had a professional do it for her, it was what nature '90s bedroom dreams were made of. Clueless released in 1995 and Cher's bedroom is still talked about.
9 Dawson Leary Hangout Spot: Dawson's Creek
Dawson's Creek lasted for six seasons and was the epitome of the late '90s, early 2000s. It also launched the careers of James Van Deer Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, and Michelle Williams. While the show was a rollercoaster of emotions for these high-schoolers, fans were obsessed with more than the drama; they were fixated on Dawson's bedroom.
RELATED: Dawson's Creek: 10 Couples That Would Have Made A Lot Of Sense (But Never Got Together)
Filled with posters, trophies, and cozy blankets, everyone hung out in Dawson's bedroom. What fans loved the most is that he had a TV in his bedroom, so everyone cozied up with some snacks and watched TV together.
8 Mindy's Loft: The Mindy Project
Mindy Lahiri's bedroom in The Mindy Project was what anyone could have hoped for in the bustling city of Manhattan. With tiny apartments, Mindy was able to make her bedroom one of the strongest parts of the house, thanks to her decorating.
Her massive headboard made her bed look cozy and royal. And let's not forget that Mindy always had snacks lying around, which was perfect for those late nights where she didn't want to leave the bed. She also had a walk-in closet on the side of her bedroom that was big enough for her colorful wardrobe.
7 Clarissa's Massive Bedroom: Clarissa Explains It All
Clarissa Explains It All was an iconic television show on Nickelodeon from the '90s that starred Melissa Joan Hart. Clarissa was always in her bedroom, which had everything a teenager could want.
RELATED: Top 10 Nickelodeon Shows With The Most Episodes
Why leave the comforts of her bedroom when she had more than the average teenager? Clarissa had a computer, a window that allowed her friends to climb in when they wanted to, a pet alligator, and fun pictures hanging all over the walls. Clarissa's room was eccentric and matched her personality.
6 Regina George's Master Suite: Mean Girls
Cady Heron spoke for everyone when she shockingly asked "This is your room?" to Regina George after taking one step into her bedroom. It had its own patio, a massive closet, a raised bed, and more room than needed for a teenage girl who was barely home.
However, Regina "made" her parents trade bedrooms with her and they took the bait. Regina's bedroom was pink and colorful, it even had a lounge area! It has everything a person could ever need, which is why her bedroom was the ultimate hangout spot in Mean Girls.
5 Claudia Kishi's Pad: The Baby-Sitters Club
Netflix did a fantastic job with their version of The Baby-Sitters Club. The casting department nailed making these beloved characters from the books come to life. Claudia, in particular, was praised not just for her fashion choices but for her bedroom.
Claudia had a loft-like bedroom that had a work area, a lounge area, and a place to sleep. She also had candies hidden throughout the room, making it a perfect place for the Baby-Sitters Club meetings.
4 Lara Jean's Oasis: To All The Boys I've Loved Before
Lara Jean's bedroom in To All The Boys I've Loved Before was a relaxing oasis. With teal-colored walls, it looked like Lara Jean was sleeping under the sea. But what was more notable was her twinkling lights and all the pictures she had hanging above her desk.
Viewers could tell Lara Jean spent a lot of her time in her bedroom and made it special with personal touches. In fact, fans of the Netflix hit loved Lara Jean's bedroom so much that Film and Furniture did an interview with the set designer Paul Joyal for tips on recreating her bedroom.
3 Mia's Stairway To Solitude: Princess Diaries
It wasn't just Mia's relation to the royal throne that made Princess Diaries fans jealous, it was her bedroom. Mia and her mother lived in an old fire station that was transformed into a home and art studio. This gave a ton of character to their home, including Mia's bedroom.
Mia's ceiling was painted like the sky but what was cooler was the old staircase in her bedroom. The staircase was in the center of her room and spiraled towards the sky. When Mia was in a bad mood, she climbed the tower to hide from her mother. It was a mini getaway that every kid/teen wished they had.
2 Arnold's Glass Ceiling: Hey Arnold
Arnold may have been a Nickelodeon cartoon but fans of the show wanted his bedroom for themselves. With his grandparents owning an old apartment building, Arnold's bedroom was in the attic on the top floor.
His entire ceiling was made out of windows, which allowed him to see the stars at night. He had shelves built into his wall where he kept all of his memorabilia and his TV. Arnold even had his own computer! Arnold may have had an odd home-life but his bedroom was far better than his friends'.
1 Torrance's Bright Room: Bring It On
Bring It On came out in 2000 and showed off the fictional lives of competitive cheerleaders. Kirsten Dunst played Torrance Shipman who was the captain of her squad. As a teenager, Torrance still lived in her parents' home in a bright yellow bedroom.
She had posters hanging all over the walls, stuffed animals on the shelves, and stickers slapped on her furniture. Her bedroom was the epitome of a teenage-hood. To prove how influential Torrance's bedroom was. Ariana Grande recreated it for her music video for "Thank You, Next."
