Shortly after that we played at the Jason Becker's Not Dead Yet festival together where we met the amazing Atma Anur. We then quickly decided to record an album as a trio (hence the name 'Tri-Head'). Most of the songs will be written by me but Barend will be delivering some killer tunes too. Timo Somers - Still with me @Jason Becker's "Not Dead Yet" Festi...

Yes, playing ‘Angry Birds’ also counts as using a mobile app. So, the news that the one millionth mobile app is now in the market will not really fluster anyone particularly.

Sources say expect change at GM for Cubs
2011-06-27 21:56:00 I talked to some good sources the other night regarding the Cubs. One is very close with the Ricketts family, and the other was a high level Sam Zell guy that is no longer involved at the Tribune. The consensus is there is very little chance Jim Hendry is back. In fact the former Zell associate says that if they had held onto the club any longer, they would have made the change themselves. When it comes to Hendry it sounds like Ricketts doesn't see much of a reason to do anything as of now. The end of the season will give them the opportunity to start fresh. The name mentioned when asked about a potential replacement was White...

Has anybody ever said that to you when they obviously did something that directly affected you? My greatest disappointments were because I expected somebody to do something that was not realistic, or even considerable for them to do. For example: The expectation that someone else will make me happy. That is an irrational expectation, because nobody can make me truly happy... That's my job! - - Before anyone can make you feel happy, you have to be happy with yourself ...FIRST! Another example: Expecting someone close...

Hawks expect to lose Sharp
2011-03-22 06:19:00 No official word yet on Patrick Sharp. However, if you listen to some of the players, they already know he will be gone for a significant amount of time. This is a huge blow to the Blackhawks post season run. They already have suffered through numerous injuries this season, and it seemed they were peaking recently. Sharp has been part of the line (with Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews) that has been carrying the team lately.Tim Sassone speculates that Sharp could miss from 4-6 weeks and carry over into the second round of the playoffs, and that Viktor Stalberg or Troy Brouwer could fill his spot."I'm sure Sharpie is frustrated," captain Jonathan Toews told reporters.

My life walking away from religion - it may not be what you expect.
2011-03-02 05:29:00 This will be a tough point to argue and explain, I know, but that is not true. It is not - often even to my disappointment - about recklessly abandoning all moral rules and social morays. I am human, so I feel the same pull to life without rules or policing as anyone, but the reality is that, as an adult, my conscience is intact. Though there are moments I secretly wish I could have a torrid affair or go on a combination cross country crime spree and wild drug binge at combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants in every state, I could never let myself do those things; religion or no religion.

Expect More Unsolicited Calls While Regulators Wrangle Over Authority
2010-12-23 06:45:00 Last month, we wrote that TRAI has issued new guidelines for unwanted calls. These guidelines proposed to do away with National Do Not Call Registry and replace it with a Customer Call Preference Regulation. CCPR required all telemarketers, irrespective of whether they had registered with the DoT to register with TRAI. They would have use numbers that belonged to the 700 series so that a customer clearly knew it was a telemarketing call and could choose to ignore it. It went further and proposed a mechanism to ensure that people who had opted-out would not receive calls from any telemarketer. And perhaps the most encouraging part of the new guidelines was to impose a significant penalty on telemarketers who violated them. If you thought that these were good and were hoping to see them enforced soon, don’t hold your breath! So, what’s the problem? Bureaucratic red-tape! The existing legislation to deal with unsolicited commercial calls requires telemarketers to register ...

Be careful what you teach the children-They just might expect it to be true
2010-11-04 06:18:00 If we grow up teaching our children to be tolerant of other faiths then we better be ready to accept that tolerance when it finally arrives full force in our living rooms. If we raise them up to believe that all people are created equal then we better be prepared to give equal rights when least expected. If we raise our kids to believe that they can be anything - astronauts, doctors, governors, movie stars, or the President of the United States - as long as they work hard and stay committed to the task, then we better be working on creating a world where that kind of nonsense is true.

Then they went on to not fire Lovie Smith and not even hire a defensive coordinator from the outside. Instead, they promoted a reluctant Rod Marinelli to run the 23rd ranked defense. Here's Marinelli on changes to the defense: "There are subtleties in everything that you do, [but] not drastic changes schematically, but just some subtle changes," Marinelli said Thursday afternoon. In a season with so much at stake, is it fair to...

Wolves douse Heat 7-1; Expect the first of several call-ups this week
2009-10-25 07:30:00 ROSEMONT, ILL--- The Chicago Wolves have kept opponents limited to just one goal in 125 minutes of play this weekend. Compare that to the 23 goals scored against the team in the other six games played this season. A 7-1 win over the Heat. Sweet. The Wolves came out of the darkness, perhaps led by 47 year-old Chris Chelios or perhaps by the shock of having a new coach. It was a three point weekend, more points than the team has gained the rest of the season combined. And there were moments of brilliance too, on the part of Abbotsford, that the defense of the Wolves crushed. This is the weekend when the depth of the team seemed to be...

2009-10-20 23:56:00 Expect the Cubs to put the money where their mouth is by making former Texas Rangers coach Rudy Jaramillo the highest paid hitting coach in baseball history sometime in the next couple of days. He is expected to sign a multi-year deal for approximately $800,000 dollars. They reportedly beat out a handful of other clubs who were also offering big money and a multi year deal. However, he sees the Cubs as a golden opportunity to turn around a talented team and help to get them back to the postseason. New owner Tom Ricketts approved the increase in payroll to land the talented teacher as the Cubs try to get back to the level of run production that helped fuel...

YouTube Will Now Let You Link Off Site - Expect Traffic Games on Videos
2009-06-30 20:29:00 Now when I say traffic games they aren’t quite the kind of games that YouTube publishers started building recently. It rather works on the metaphor of playing tricks using features that weren’t made for such tricks. The games however can now happen because of what YouTube plans with an update to its advertising system. According to Techcrunch, YouTube is unveiling what they call the Call-To-Action Overlay,which is a semi-transparent pop-up that links viewers to any website you choose. This is big news, especially for direct marketers and their likes. One doesn’t need to talk about the insane amount of traffic that YouTube gets. Marketers realized therefore very early the potential that the site has to drive traffic on to their web platforms. It started with funny videos, to video blogging, to ads with made for web viral elements. However, despite all the apparent benefits that YouTube seemed to provide, there was always a constant nagging issue. The issue of embedi...
