APPLE II MUSIC & SOUND FORUM CONFERENCE LOG
:)
Dr Teeth Hey, Parik. Do you still have any notes on the SoundSmith
format? File format, that is.
AFA Parik Nothing besides memories, teeth. :) There is a technote in ADV.
There is also full source for playing SS songs (both .wav and asif
insts) inadv.
Dr Teeth Really? Okay, I'll check it out.
AFA Parik basically everything you need to play, edit, etc, etc both ss and
synthlab songs are in the ADV libs.
Dr Teeth Question---> What is the best file you've come across in your
listening years?
AFA Parik one of the mods, teeth.
AFL JoyceM For what program, Teeth?
AFA Parik I love row-row-row your boat, Popcorn. Also HouseBeat (500k!)
Dr Teeth (giving Parik a Shoved-Init)
AFC Brite the Hallelujah Chorus
Dr Teeth Hmm. SynthLab, right? I never really check those out....
AFC Brite oops, wrong program !
AFC Eddie Why, Brite, how nice of you to say that! Thanks!
Dr Teeth And I did mean SS, Joyce
AFC Brite when I get my new hard drive, I'll have more room to play with SS
files
AFL JoyceM Jim, He (Dave) told me he would try very hard to make this event.
If he can't, I have the necessary information.
Dr Teeth I'm still here, really! It is kind of disconcerting when the Forum
leader leaves.....
Atomic D Wasn't sound smith done by Hubiert Aalberts?
Dr Teeth That's him!
Atomic D Does he have a publisher?
AFL JoyceM Well, I can see that SevenHills is late....so...let me see if I
can fill in for them.
Dr Teeth Yes Atomic. Seven hills is publishing SS 1.0.
AFL JoyceM Okay, as most of you all know, SevenHills will be releasing
SoundSmith in the next couple of months. It is still being beta
tested. Also, it will have (and does have) MIDI input
capabilities.
Anyone have a questions, that hopefully I can answer :)
AFA Parik i'm told SS's midi input is, to put it nicely, awful. You need
to have a prerecorded song already playing or somesuch nonesense.
True?
Dr Teeth Does SoundSmith add any more and/or better editing tools in 1.0?
AFC Eddie True, but there's a way around that, Parik.
AFL Marty I don't know that I'd call it awful.
AFL JoyceM Parik, the inputting with MIDI right now is very awkward.
(difficult in my opinion), but with the beta version I have, that
'feature' will be changing.
AFL Marty Awkward is a good word.
AFL JoyceM I thought so too, Marty :) We are hoping that editing tools and
other utilites will be featured with SS (how do you like that
non-disclosure comment - I feel like Apple ) :)
AFA Parik it sounds like the only thing changed in ss 1.0 is awkard MIDI
input. and the owner.
Dr Teeth Well, I just wonder if there will be anything like Track volume,
etc.
AFL JoyceM Parik, I feel positive that the final release of SS will be a 100%
improvement over what we now have available. The Window menu is
really quite nice, and with input from the beta testers, I am
sure SevenHills will do the best they can to bring us a super,
easy to use, edit, program.
AFL Marty But MIDI input for SS is a big deal. It's such a drudge to input
tunes via that spreadsheet thing.
AFL JoyceM Agree, Marty. and designing MIDI input into a program that didn't
have it is difficult.
Dr Teeth SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, MARTY (from someone who canna play a note)
ELECTMUSIC Joyce, any idea on cost of the program?
AFA Parik is Huibert still programming Soundsmith v1.0? Or has 7hills taken
over?
AFL Marty I was speaking for myself.
AFC Eddie MIDI capability for SS will mean conversion capability to and from
other formats.
AFL JoyceM No, Greg....not yet. I am sure the closer they get to a final,
releasable version, prices will be discussed.
I am under the understanding that SevenHills has taken it over,
but I could be wrong.
AFA Parik i dunno, my feeling is that if NoiseTracker gets MIDI and editing
capabilities, or if SynthLAB get editing, it would kick.
ELECTMUSIC I am assuming Joyce, that the Midi Implimentation is the Standard
Midi File Format?
AFL Marty That is correct, Joyce. Dave Hecker posted something to that
effect in the Seven Hills area.
AFL JoyceM We are hoping so, Greg
AFC Eddie I doubt if SLab will ever get editing or NT will ever get MIDI.
Dr Teeth What Seven Hills Area?
Dr Teeth Or heck, if NT ever gets editing (useful that is)
AFL Marty Go to APR or AGR and select Direct Connect...
AFL Marty Seven Hills area is listed there.
AFA Parik you could, I guess, use SoundSmith to create your songs and
NoiseTracker to set the instruments.
KimBrennan NT has problems with standard SS files.
AFC Eddie I doubt if SS will save or load in MIDI file format, Greg.
Dr Teeth NT doesn't support any commands other than volume and tempo.
ELECTMUSIC Well, how is the Midi Input working at this point?
Nuzz If someone would write a good MidiSynth editor, I'd gladly
publish it!
AFC Eddie It's done in real time recording, Greg.
Dr Teeth Midi is for performers....
AFL JoyceM Greg, it is very awkward/difficult at this point.
AFC Eddie Nuzz, we wish!
ELECTMUSIC How accurate is it?
AFL JoyceM We need Parik to write that MS editor!!! :)
AFL JoyceM Greg, I can't answer that....I don't know. I can't get the MIDI
thingie to work well enought.
AFA Parik i'll pass that duty along to dyajim :)
Nuzz Yes Parik" If you write it, they will come"
AFA Andy Yeah, Go for it Parik.
AFC Eddie Do it together, Parik and Jim!
AFA Andy That would even be better, Eddie.
KimBrennan OK. Under 5.04 I found that SS had to have the MIDI device ON and
connected. Otherwise it wouldn't work at all.
AFL JoyceM Interesting, Kim....you can leave me E-mail if you would -
thanks.
KimBrennan It works under 6.0...IMHO better than under 5.04
AFL JoyceM I did....that wasn't the problem, hmmmm, how do I say this, the
awkwardness of imputting with MIDI was beyond my
comprehension/ability.
KimBrennan Ok, Joyce, noted. I'll e-mail you
Dr Teeth I would think that you would have to have a very fast playing song
to get any kind of an accurate input.
AFL JoyceM I use Floyd's FileTools, and have to disable it before I can run
SS - otherwise I get dumped.
KimBrennan Hmmm. I don't use FileTools (though I keep meaning to put it in my
DA folder.
AFL JoyceM I figure one needs to take about 4 hours to do it justice. I
really think that once they get some of the awkwardness out of
the program as we know it today (beta version), it will really be
a great one.
AFC Eddie Yes, Filetools will not work with any program in MIDI input.
Dr Teeth SS .95 takes a LOT of room, I don't see that 1.0 will take any
less.
AFL JoyceM I know, Eddie...but I can't even run SS with FileTools active.
For some reason, those two are not compatible.
AFC Eddie One thing to note: SS MIDI will never allow changes in note
duration.
Dr Teeth The main EXE file is an image of some 700K or so (but only about
60-70k on the disk.
KimBrennan I noted some menu changes from .95 to 1.0b5
AFL JoyceM Yes, I did too. I really think that SevenHills is trying.
Dr Teeth Eddie-You can shorten a note by using STP or fading it to a level
of 0 and for longer notes you need to use a long sample or a
looped instrument.
AFL JoyceM I am positive with their abilities.
AFC Eddie Yes, Teeth, but you can't do quarter notes, half notes, whole
notes, etc. within a track.
AFL JoyceM Eddie, why is that?
Dr Teeth However it is possible to play a sampled instrument with a sustain
loop inside of the sample, so that there is an Attack, a sustain
and a release just like a model sound wave.
AFC Eddie Because the basic note length is determined by the instrument
sample.
Agreed, Teeth, but that's not precise enough for real
musicianship.
Whereas with full MIDI implementation, as in SLab or DTune, you do
get that.
Dr Teeth MOD files use them all the time, and
noise tracker can play them (only in mods though).And I am enough
of a musician (trombone, baritone, tuba, and a
smattering of guitar) to know that all music can be represented
by numbers.
AFC Eddie Yes, but SS doesn't allow certain numbers!
KimBrennan No sweat, Joyce. Beta testers should communicate between each
other.
AFL JoyceM Agree :)
Dr Teeth All 'true musicianship' is is how less lazy you are to get the
accidentals perfect. What numbers?
AFC Eddie You can't say, for instance, that one note of a certain inst. will
be precisely twice as long as the last.
Dr Teeth Er, I don't understand what you mean, Eddie.
AFC Eddie Let's say you had a string instrument in Soundsmith and wanted to
do a one track tune (boring, I know, but just for argument sake).
And you wanted to play a melody which had some notes longer than
others. How do you do it in SS?
Dr Teeth Am I dealing with a looped instrument or not?
AFC Eddie Either way.
Dr Teeth Okay. If it were a slow song, in say largo or so, I would use a
looped instrument and use STP for rests. If each note followed
the next, there is a natural attack bewteen each note to
diferenciate between the two, so that all the notes do not run
into each other. On a faster song with not really long notes
(like a dotted whole note), an unsustained instrument works fine,
and again, when silence is needed, you shove in a STP command
or turn the volume off at the appropriate time.
AFC Eddie But what if you wanted one note to be two or three beats longer
than the last?
AFL JoyceM Our guest has arrived :)
Dr Teeth Er, what do you mean "longer than the last". In soundsmith, you
can set out how many spaces to a beat (versus beats to a
measure). To extend the length of the note you just put the Stp
or next note that much further down the line. Or are you talking
about having the decay of one note extend further than the
duration of the one following it?
SevenHills Hi! Gee, I didn't know you were billing me as an actual guest! I
woulda quit early to be here on time!
AFL JoyceM No problem, Dave - we are just glad you could make it. Dave, do
you want to tell us a little about SoundSmith....I am sure I left
out some important items.
AFC Eddie Sorry, Teeth, we should allow our guest to go now... I'd like to
continue this with you later, tho!
SevenHills You probably covered the "biggie"...MIDI support.
Dr Teeth Okay, No problem
Dr Teeth Er, I think that you were beat up on MIDI
AFL JoyceM We did, and I know that some people had some questions that I
couldn't answer.
SevenHills I'll have to read the transcript when it's posted. Keep in mind
that this discussion is about a program that is NOT released, so
things are still changing. Specifically, MIDI support (being new)
isn't yet as advanced as we want it.
DanW190 Is SS v1.0 finished or can we still submit suggestions for helpful
editor commands?
SevenHills You can suggest features for SoundSmith; v1.0 is NOT done (it only
recently entered beta testing). I obviously can't make any
guarantees about _when_ a particular suggestion would be
implemented, but if you've got any, please send them via email to
"SevenHills" (if we get your suggestions there's a chance for
inclusion; if we don't get them then there's no way
we can include them).
Dr Teeth Is there any plans for Global Track volume (where, if wanted you
could automatically assign track volumes that would let you
change volume during a song without having to do each note by
hand?
DanW190 Great, thanks! Do you mean via track or via selection box?
Dr Teeth Er, via Track I think.
SevenHills Hmmm...Please forgive my ignorance on what the shareware version
of SoundSmith had...I've been only dealing with the new
SoundSmith so I might be telling you about something you already
know, but..
Dr Teeth It's mostly so you can follow accidentals in music that goes from
all soft to all loud. Which is almost impossible with SS .95
SevenHills There is a way to highlight a range of notes (or "cells" in the
spreadsheet) and either (a) apply a certain volume to those
notes, or (b) Fade in the volume or (c) Fade out the volume.
So you don't have to change the volume of each note individually.
Is that what you're after?
Dr Teeth That's IT!
DanW190 Option A is what I was talking about, that's great! :)
Dr Teeth How about Fade (From volume) (To volume) Instead of Fade
completely in or Fade comepletly out?
SevenHills Good suggestion; we'll consider it!
Dr Teeth I've got millions of em, having to punch in all those 'cells' by
hand and then doing the post producion on it
ELECTMUSIC Would suggestion be better left in your forum or in AMS?
SevenHills It would be best to email suggestions directly to our SevenHills
address.
Dr Teeth How about a 'Cut instrument from track' option. For use with Ian
Schmidts Modifier (converts Amegia Mod files), so you could
expand from the MOD's four tracks to the full 15
DanW190 How about a checkbox in the "Fade" dialog that would only place
the "3xx" volume change command in note boxes that have an
instrument defined (to eliminate the funny "choppy" sound you get
when sometimes fading large selections of unsustaining
instruments?) (or maybe I should just e-mail this stuff?) :)
Dr Teeth (I didn't know that was what was causing the funny choppy sound,
hmmmm)
SevenHills Dan, that might be possible, but don't know how it would sound
(since fading is normally a consistent drop/increase in volume
over a set amount of time).
DanW190 All I can say is that some selections sound better when you remove
the 3xx commands from sections that don't have notes playing..
This happened when fading an entire block, or other size ranges.
I'll e-mail you the full info.
Dr Teeth I think that the 'choppy sound is caused by fading a too small
area.
SevenHills Email would be best because it'll _definitely_ get saved in our
SoundSmith folder so our SS project manager can deal with it.
I can imagine a choppy sound could occur fading over too small an
area, or fading a large area where you've got a few notes here
and there (because there would be a steady fade during silence,
then a sudden drop/increase when the next batch of notes was hit.
Dr Teeth BTW, I'm curious. How much of the program is still Huibert's
programming?
SevenHills Huibert is still doing 100% of the coding. He's mainly interested
in getting MIDI done and releasing version 1.0 ASAP. We'd like
to incorporate more feature changes.
DanW190 How about adding resource support for the menus and windows? :)
SevenHills We're trying to find a happy medium that'll satisfy us both.
AFC Eddie Dave, I'll send you a copy of the transcript of this chat in its
entirety so you can see all the suggestions.
SevenHills Thanks, Eddie! I appreciate it!
AFL JoyceM I know it is getting late back east...do we have any more
questions for Seven Hills?
Dr Teeth Hmm. Well I know that I could make myself a real nuisance for
making suggestions. But I'll do them in E mail...
I do have one more question though
AFL JoyceM Dave, can you stick around a little longer?
SevenHills Sure
Dr Teeth Huibert sent me a copy of SS1.0 Alpha, and all it does is bomb
out. Am i mistaken that he changed the format of
SoundSmith.Config file and that he neglected to send me one?
(I reason this because I erased my config file from .95 and it
bombed out at the same place and time) And the config file from
.95 wont work.
SevenHills I'm checking...
Dr Teeth Okay..I'm waiting...
SevenHills I don't think so...I don't believe there is a "config" file with
SoundSmith 1.0b1.
Dr Teeth Hmmm, weird.
SevenHills There's SndSmith.Sys16, Intro.Music, SndSmith.Screen, DOC.Data,
Main, and Title.Screen But no "config"...
Dr Teeth Well all he sent was the "Main" along with the fill .95, so maybe
therein lies the rub....
SevenHills Remember, it _was_ alpha. "Main" is where all the changes are
taking place.
Dr Teeth True. Or maybe it was damaged in transit, and just 'happens' to
bomb out at the same place.
AFL JoyceM Dave (SevenHills), I really appreciate you coming by this evening.
I have to leave early, but both AFA Gene and AFC Eddie will be
able to help you and the rest of our guests. Again, thanks.
SevenHills Thanks, Joyce! Sorry I couldn't make it sooner!
AFL JoyceM Thanks all...and nite
Dr Teeth Any proposed release date, or are you also playing Apple Computer
on us :)
SevenHills I'd like to go, too...unless there are any other questions?
Release date: "When it's done!" ;)
We'll be watching for all your suggestions!

How To Start A Buzz As A Rap Musician Today
The number one thing you must do as a Hip Hop artist today is generate a buzz online. The number one place people listen to new music is the internet. There are thousands of internet radio stations hoping you send in your music for them to play. There are hundreds of sites that you can submit your music to for people to listen to. Getting yourself out in as many outlets as possible is the best way to generate a buzz. The internet is here to help you. It will get your music to millions of outlets, if you have talent and are willing to work for it.
Don't only focus online though. Building a local buzz is just as important. Once you build your local buzz by performing at concerts and opening for bigger acts (which may lead to more buzz!), you have to take it to the next level. What's the process to generate a buzz and make a name for yourself on the internet? There are maybe a hundred musicians locally and there are millions online, so you have to be able to stand out, even more than you do locally. Lucky for you, this article will show you a great way to market your music online. Social media is, and has been, the next big thing in the music industry, period!
The best sites to utilize for your music are Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. Get active on Youtube, instead of just posting all of your music and videos for people to view. Comment on other people's music and collaborate with anyone who you think could help bring you some new fans. Posting videos with links to free music downloads is a great idea every once in a while as well. Once you post them, you have to make sure to share them on Facebook and Twitter every time. Do whatever you can to get a huge following on Facebook and Twitter, including posting on many Hip Hop forums. You can find hundreds of Hip Hop forums to join and post to by just searching Google quickly.
Some of the newest faces in Hip Hop, like Hopsin, have generated almost all of their fans through the internet. If you want to be the next act to do so, you need to have good music and a willingness to market yourself. Since not everybody is meant to market, especially online, you could always hire an internet marketing agency to market for you, leaving you more time for your music. I'm sure there are plenty out there that will even give you discounts if they like your music. Good luck with the music career!
If you are interested in more in relation to Hip Hop online, check out Broot Force Music. They have a lot of stuff on their website, like new music, so Check It Out. They also have music promotion services at: http://brootforcemusic.com/marketing-services/.

The 5 Most Frequent Mistakes People Make About Fitness
1 - Not Planning Ahead
Planning is probably the most essential thing that anybody successful with health and fitness does. This means you need to plan your diet, plan your meals, plan your workout program, and set realistic goals in a reachable timeframe. Chances are, if you forget to plan any of these things, your results will suffer and you may end up quitting, simply because you don't know what you need to be following. Randomness is not always good, especially in the world of fitness!
2 - Excuses
Excuses are too common in our world today, and they are even more common in the fitness world. just because you have a little cough and no other symptoms does not mean you should put off your workout (unless you actually feel sick of course). Just because tonight is Friday and your buddies are all going out to the bar and they want you to come doesn't mean you can't workout. You can't afford to eat healthy. There is an excuse for everything, and none of them are worth the time it took to think them up. Stop making excuses if you want to be healthier and be physically fit. Nobody has made it to their goals by making excuses.
3 - Frequency Of Exercise
Do you think working out for 30 minutes a week is good? Well, some people do. Others think they have to be in the gym every day of the week for 2 hours or more. They are both wrong. You have to find the happy medium to see how much you need to workout. You want to workout enough to meet your goals within the foreseeable future and you don't want to overtrain and risk injury. Sticking to something like hitting the gym 3 or 4 times a week for about an hour each time is something good to go by. This schedule works for thousands of people every week!
4 - Magic Answers
Sorry, science has still yet to come up with a workout program, and a pill that performs magic for you. If you don't want to put in the hard work and effort, you aren't going to succeed. I hate to sound mean but it's the truth. Companies spend millions on advertisements hoping the consumers don't realize that magic doesn't exist.
5 - Comparisons
Comparing yourself to a fitness professional or somebody that has much more experience that you is setting yourself up for a downfall. If you want to succeed, you can't go around comparing your body to the next person. Your genetics are different than everybody, so you can't make comparisons that aren't fair. Instead of comparing yourself to someone else, why not compare yourself now to yourself a year ago. If that doesn't give you great motivation, then you are not working out right!
Now you know what you need to avoid doing if you want to succeed with your fitness lifestyle. If you just avoid these mistakes alone, you are on your way to succeeding with your goals, as long as they are within reach. Feel free to bookmark this article and come back to it anytime!

How to solve PLANETFALL
Now to get some more tools you'll need. Do: North, East until the junction, south,south,southwest. Get the laser and pliers. Go: NE,N,N,E. Get Bedistor, and it's time to Go Down! W,N,E,S, slide lower through slot, and wait. N,E,S,E. You should be in the shuttle car now. *This is an excellent time to save the game!* Slide shuttle card through slot, and push the lever up. We're off to see the wizard! Now keep waiting until your speed hits 55 ( never mind the sign you see). Then pull the lever down, and let your speed stay constant until you see the halfway mark. Wait once more, and then pull lever down. Wait, and you should coast right into Lawanda Station! If you don't, you screwed up. Restore your game! Now to finish fixing the rest of the systems. From Alfie Control East, do: W,N,U,U,NE,N. Tell Floyd to go north. Hm! Just what you need! Tell Floyd to get shiny board, and do: S,E,N. Open panel, remove second board, insert shiny board in panel, drop fried board. That's Planetary Defense. Now for Course Control. Go: S,E,N, open lid, remove fused bedistor with pliers, insert good bedistor in cube, drop fused bedistor and pliers. You have now fixed the little stuff, and are on your way to the big finish! Go south four times. You should be in the computer room. Wait here for Floyd. He will notice that the computer is busted. (Bright soul, isn't he?) Now to make a martyr of him. Do: NE,open bio-lock door, SE,E,look in window. There's what you need! But how to get it? Oh Floyd, don't risk yourself! Well, if you must, you must. Do as he says by: Open door, close door, wait, open door, close door. (Yes, this scene made me cry. If you have a heart at all, you will too!) Sniff...well, so Floyd's death won't be a meaningless sacrifice, do:Get mini card, W, open door, W,S, remove old battery, drop old battery, insert new battery in laser. You're armed and loaded for bear! Now: N,SW,S, slide mini card through slot, type 384, set dial to 1, E,N,N, shoot boulder with laser, (keep shooting until you vaporise it), set dial to 6. *Save Your Game Here! There are two ways to get past the next obstacle, but one of them may not work depending on your game version.* Go south and...AGGGHHH! What's THAT! Oh, that's what it is! Just a ten foot tall hungry amoeba, no problem! OK, shoot it! Doesn't work? Keep doing it. You will notice that the monster is attracted to the heat of the laser. Here is where that version thingy is used. Either: Give laser to monster, or throw laser into void. If one doesn't work, do the other. Not much time left before the mini effect wears off, so go: S, W, and N. Oh No! Trapped in an inaccessable location, and nowhere to go but...THRU THE BIO-LAB WITH ALL THOSE MUTANTS! Well, now is not the time to panic. Do: open desk, wear mask, push red button, open door. That gas isn't going to last long, so move FAST! *Good time to save the game, I might add...* West into the lab, open the door, and west again. Whoa! They're not slowing down! You'll be finishing the game with these things on your heels! Go: West, open door, west, SW, W. Wow! There's your exit! No time to lose, so: South, push button. Whew! That was close! But here you are: the door opens, you go north, and all your questions are answered! Congratulations, Ensign First Class!

Tricomin Products For Hair Loss
With what was just stated above, you might be ready to go out and purchase something from the Tricomin selection but first it might be in your best interest to know what is the back story for the Tricomin products that help with hair loss and the many selections to choose from by Tricomin that's now offered to you.
To begin with, it's a must to know that copper is what is used to help promote healthy hair and why it's used. In your hair you have levels of copper and this can be what affects you having hair loss. If there is a lack of copper in hair then that can cause hair to be unhealthy and start falling out, yet an overage of copper can also cause damage as well. Too much copper will lead to hair loss happening sooner then expected. The goal is to keep the copper levels at healthy balance to prevent any sort of hair loss at all.
Now you may be wondering how much copper is needed to keep hair healthy and how to go about keeping the levels at what's required. There have been different tests ran that came out showing 2.5 milligrams (give or take 0.7 milligrams) levels of copper is best. Below I have listed some hints to help keep your copper levels at what is required to prevent hair loss. Read on...
1) Don't consume hard water
2) Lower the amount of meat you eat
3) Read up on the amount of copper in medicines, especially in birth control pills
At this point is when it's best to use a Tricomin hair product to work along with you to stop hair loss. This product was formed by thorough testing and research linking to how amino acids and copper go hand-in-hand with hair loss. As you may notice the older people get the less hair they may have. This is caused to as you age your copper levels drop. Tricomin products are there to bring back up the levels of copper to balance them out in which stop hair loss and bring your hair back to looking healthy as can be.
Tricomin is made to give the hair follicle copper that it's missing which helps the proteins and collagen feed the hair follicle during hair growth. That's when it's recommended! If hair follicles get all their needs exactly where it's most important, then hair loss can be slowed due to more hair growth.
Tricomin Solution Follicle Therapy Spray is the best known product from the Tricomin company. The spray is specifically directed to give the copper foundation to the scalp and hair follicles. In this spray is a conditioner that is designed to stay in your hair for a longer time, even when you wash in a shower. By it being there the copper is provided to help with hair growth.
For a greater affect that most people choose, they would buy the Tricomin shampoo and use it right before applying the Tricomin spray. By using the shampoo the scalp will receive minerals and amino acids that are much needed, especially with fine hair or hair that is thinning out. What's great about Tricomin follicle spray is that it can be put on hair whether it's wet or dry!
Many users have stated that they see a change in their hair after using products by Tricomin after just a few weeks, so if you're looking to stop hair loss as soon as possible don't wait any longer. Take action now that will lead you to stopping hair loss with Triamino copper nutritional complex formulation.

The Art of being invisible
Sometimes your worst enemy is a fellow human being. It might be that you are unlucky enough to be sent to a war zone. I have crossed the Iron Curtain six times illegally dodging the border patrols. While I have had a considerable amount of luck, you must have skill also. Know thy enemy. It's unlikely that the enemy goes out in a dreadful weather at night. This is the time you can move well. But beware, they probably have set up land mines and traps. I have seen chopped down trees that are left rotting on the ground on the Iron Curtain. That is a good place to hide a land mine or to put a trap thread. Don't even try! The most unlikely place to put a land mine is a road used by the border patrol themselves. You can see the usage looking for new tire tracks on the road. The border is full of military camps and installations. Do not take any photograps and avoid the camps altogether. If you are caught they believe you more if you don't have photos of their military stuff. Roads are risky. You walk, but they drive and a car can appear suddenly, before you can hide. It's good if when you look obviously coming from behind the border to be heading *away* from the border (showing them that this is the maximum length that you have walked behind the border). If you look like a local, you can be walking either way. Put a good stunt and they'll pass you. They don't have time to question all locals. Caves and pits are good in hiding from the heat detecting camera. There is an anti-heat detector suit commercially available, but if you are caught in that you have one excuse less. If you see a patrol coming, take a step or two to cover youself. Don't run, don't panic. Remember to have a believable excuse.
