Sqrambled Scuares
Sqrambled Scuares (sic) is a game show airing on Charter Cable in North Carolina. It tapes at the BZB Productions studio in Boone, North Carolina, and is hosted by local TV personality Buzz Berry. There are two editions, the "Boone edition" and the "Hickory edition"; the original Boone edition has, thus far, taped over 300 episodes.

Gameplay
Each player is spotted 100 points to start the game.

The game is played on a board of 16 numbered squares. Behind most of the squares are letters that, when placed in the correct order, spell out the name of a person, place, thing, event, or title.

Players alternate selecting squares in the hopes of finding letters to place onto the rack of blank spaces the players are faced with. Any letters found are placed into the correct word, but in the order they were uncovered. Each time a player uncovers a letter, he or she is awarded points and given an opportunity to unscramble the squares.


 * 10 points are given for finding a consonant.
 * 20 points are given for finding a vowel.

In lieu of selecting a square, the contestant may instead place a letter already on the rack in its correct position, however, the player loses 10 points to place a consonant, or 20 to place a vowel. All letters that are placed, whether by forfeiture of points or a "placer" (see below) are highlighted in yellow.

In addition to the letters, there are special items on the game board.

Special items

 * Bonus points: The player is awarded the bonus points noted on the card, either 10 or 20, in addition to the 10/20 for the letter.
 * Doubler: The point value of the letter is doubled to 20 for a consonant or 40 for a vowel.
 * Double Doubler: The point value of the letter is quadrupled to 40 for a consonant or 80 for a vowel.
 * Twofer: The player may take an extra turn.
 * Placer: The letter is placed in its proper position on the rack. The player does not lose points for this.
 * Stealer: The player's opponent loses the base value of that letter; those points are transferred to the player who selected that square. In addition, the player receives the base value of the letter again.
 * Prize: The player has a prize added to his or her bank (typically a $20-$25 value). The player is only awarded the prizes in his or her bank if he or she wins the round.
 * Misser: The player's turn ends without a chance to unscramble the squares. No letters are attached to a misser; the players are told how many missers are on the board at the start of the round.

Placing letters
After selecting a square or placing a letter, the player is given 5 seconds to study the board. If the player thinks he or she knows the solution, he or she must state, "Buzz, I'd like to unscramble the squares." (A player need not select a number in order to attempt to unscramble.) If the player is successful, he or she keeps the prizes in his or her bank; a player unscrambling a set of squares also picks up an additional 100 points, while his or her opponent loses 100 points.

Sudden Death
If all of the letters are revealed, or 5 minutes elapse during the round, whichever comes first, then no more spaces may be selected, and the players must alternate placing letters (losing points for each letter placed) until one player manages to unscramble the squares.

Winning the game
The game is played in two rounds. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins $50 in cash and a chance at the "Super Sqramble."

Super Sqramble
The player faces a board of 9 or 10 letters; 7 or 8 are on a white background, and 2 are on a yellow background. The player has a maximum of 60 seconds to unscramble the word. Once 15 seconds have elapsed, Buzz tells the player where one of the yellow letters falls, and once 30 seconds have elapsed, Buzz tells the player where the other yellow letter falls.

At any time during the round, the player may hit a bell, stopping the clock while he or she gives a guess. A correct guess wins the round and a further $100 in cash; on an incorrect guess, the clock is restarted, and the player must resume the round.

If time expires, the defeated opponent, who is allowed to watch the round from a special "second chance chair," is brought back onstage and given 5 seconds to unscramble the word. If successful, he or she wins $50 in cash.

Home Scramble
During the commercials, the viewers at home are given the letters to a thing, and Buzz also gives the viewers the correct position of one of the letters. All viewers who call the studio with the correct solution to the Home Scramble are entered into a drawing for a prize, usually one of several gift certificates to Golden Corral. The names of the winners of the drawing are shown at the beginning of the following show.

Additional notes
Starting with the 200th episode of the Boone edition, new episodes of Sqrambled Scuares are available for viewing online. All episodes of the Hickory edition may be viewed online as well.

Will Winter (Footballer)
William Winter is an Australian rules footballer, currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, under contract with the Old Geelong Football club. Drafted under the father-son rule, William has played around 10 games in his first season with the "oggs" (Old Geelong Footballers), attracting the attention of not only local scouts, but AFL coaches alike. Talks to sign Will commenced in the early months of 2008, with figures being thrown around in the realm of 80 000 to 120 000 as a starting salary. Will was not pleased, however, with the punitive offers being hinted at by Mark Avery (President of the OGGS) and the OGG's recruiting panel, and famously stated at a private function, "You can't buy a Ferrari with loose change, what makes Aves think he can try to do the same with me?". Good friend of Will and team-mate, Tom Coish, was recruited under a historic three way deal with various VFL and AFL teams, of which the result was an OGGS u/19 team of Will and Tom under the same banner.

Will has hinted towards contract renuals, and is said to be under high pressure from his main sponser, nike, to stay with the OGGS in season 2009. Whispers of figures in the 1 000 000 to 1 100 000 range have been lurking around town, but Will has refused to comment on the matter, requesting an official press conference if he's expected to speak to the Australian public.

Matt Lee-Rock'n Roll Guitarist and Pop musician/writer
Matt Lee was born Matthew M. Israel in Los angeles,Ca. on October 23, 1959. Matt Lee started out with cover bands at Palms Junior High School in 1972. He played with now renowned jazz saxophonist Richard Elliot. Their band was called Norman Nostril and the Nasty Nosepickers. He joined his first signed act called Blow-Up (Bomp Records)in 1978. He later (1980)joined Ray Campi's Rockabilly Rebels(Rolling Rock Records) and played with them for about 2 years. The next band was The D.I.'s. He joined the agressive punk act in very late 1983. Their first record Lock'n Load was a five song ep on indie label PeeVee Records. The cover was slammed by Tipper gore on live news channels as "...the kind of trash ...." that she and a group of parents she represented wanted parental guidance stickers on records at the time. The record sold out in 5 days flat right after that. He was in The D.I.'s and joined The Divine Horsemen at the request of his friend Robyn Jameson who owned the rehearsal facility the D.I.'s and the Divine Horsemen rehearsed at called Hully Gully Studios. Lee did a whole record for them later entitled Devil's River-New rose Records(1986). When he quit the Divine horsemen, the lead singer/writer Chris D. destroyed the tapes and re-recorded all but two songs from the original sessions that do appear on the record. Those are "If Only I Could", and "Hey Little Sister". He even re-recorded Lee's co-composition "My Sin" out of anger. Lee was then asked to join the band X for a short while. (1985-1986) After that he joined up with punk icon Rik L.Rik, who's real name was Richard Elerick. (1987)No recordings were made of that band(Wild Angels). The next band was the Mighty hornets(1987). The drummer,Beachy is very good frinds with Billy idol, and needless to say, the Mighty Hornets played many shows with Billy.One was the wrap up party for Oliver Stone's movie "The Doors" at a downtown L.A. location called Myron's Ballroom. Another was in Aspen,Colorado at the then China Club where on the first night of arrival Billy was asked to do a one off my the promoters to sell more tickets for the proceeding nights. Billy got on stage with the Mighty Hornets backing him up and the audience stormed the stage. The police came in riot gear to extract Billy and the band successfully and safely. That was new years 1990-1991. Lee then played in a band formed by Graham Daddy and Steve Whittaker called The Premiers. The drummer was Brian Glascock from the Motels and Jeff Jourard from the same band sharing guitar duties. (1993).It was on an out of town date they opened for Mick Taylor(rolling Stones) and Terry Reid. The back up band was the Joe Walsh band. Rick the Bass Player took lee under his wing and introduced him to producer Richard Bosworth who was also in attendance at the show. Bosworth helped Lee do a collection of solo work called "Spite". The songs were all about the nasty things people do to each other in a very sarcastic light. Lee formed a band called the same featuring members of Life,Sex,and Death Alex Kane-gtr, and Eddie Reuter-drums. In 1996 Matt Lee was flown by Roi Pearce of the Fourskins to jolly old England. He lived there recording and touring with Roi under the band name The Last Resort. Shortly thereafter Lee moved in with new girlfriend and working partner Chrissy Shefts. They recorded to no avail and then separated in 2004. Lee started working with Donnie Vie of Enuff'z Nuff in 2003 and worked with Vie doing shows and home demos until personal differences separated them in 2007. Matt Lee is currently featured on a new record release by his band The D.I.'s on Hep Cat Records. He is also playing with a new group called Karma that will release a record in the very near future as well(2008).

One-click BackUp for WinRAR is a powerful Windows utility that simplifies the management of backup archives. It allows you to create an unlimited number of easily configurable and quickly accessible backup presets. The program has freeware and shareware versions.

It's important to have backup copies of all valuable documents, so you can restore your information if accidentally erase it, or if you have a hardware malfunction or virus attack. Because creating daily backups is boring, most people don't do it. One-click BackUp takes care of it, making your daily work safier and easier.

The program acts as an easy-to-use backup shell for WinRAR archiver thus providing higher compression and safety of your documents in comparison with ordinary ZIP backups. OCB supports three backup formats for different needs. Firstly, RAR format that introduces 'recovery record' technology allowing you to restore all files even from a physically damaged archive, for instance if your backup CD was scratched. Secondly, ZIP format to be used when ZIP compatibility is of great importance. And finally, EXE format that provides the highest level of compatibility because such archives don't require any software at all to extract your documents.

OCB gives you full access to all key features of WinRAR - compression levels, volumes, password protection, recovery record, etc. You can easily run backup tasks manually or using the backup scheduler. In the latter case OCB can hide itself and create backup archives with a low process priority to let you proceed with your daily work without any inconvenience. Besides standard scheduler features, OCB can also trace the changes in selected folders and create backups as soon as files in these folders are created or modified.

Having created an archive, OCB can store it to a local or removable drive, copy it to a network folder, write it to a CD/DVD disc, upload it to a FTP server or send it to your e-mail. You don't have to remember about your backups until you finally need them. Just set the number of backup copies you want to have and OCB will keep only recent archives and automatically delete old redundant ones. This is quite a useful feature when backing up to FTP servers where the available space it often limited. When backing up to CD-RW/DVD-RW discs, OCB can automatically erase them when there isn't enough room to write a new archive. The minimum of manual work - this is the main conception of One-click BackUp. You don't even have to check if the backups were saved successfully - if something goes wrong, OCB will send you an e-mail explaining why it couldn't complete the job and you will be able to solve the problem right away.

System administrators will also enjoy such advanced features as command line support, remote control of backup processes via Internet or LAN, startup service, anti-hooligan protection and much more...

One-click BackUp for WinRAR runs on Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP/2003 and supports English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish languages.

Glastonbury Patmos Twinning
Glastonbury

Our Somerset Tradition tells of the coming of Joseph of Arimathea to Glastonbury after the Crucifixion of Christ. Joseph was a wealthy man, as the Bible tells us, and he dealt in metals. In those days tin and lead were mined from Cornwall and Somerset, two counties which still tell of the coming of Joseph in rhyme and folklore. Curiously Devon, the county that lies between Cornwall and Somerset, mined no metals and thus has no folk history of Joseph as a “tin man”. Saint Joseph is Glastonbury’s special Saint.

After the Crucifixion, when the disciples fled Jerusalem, Joseph and his group of men came to England’s green and pleasant land, assured of a welcome. Tradition records that Joseph carried with him Two Cruets which held the blood and sweat of Christ. When Joseph reached Weary All Hill and saw the majestic Tor rising ahead of him he planted his staff into the earth whereupon it took root and blossomed. To this day we call it the Holy Thorn. Joseph was accompanied by the Apostle Philip, a Greek, and King Arviragus the local chieftain granted these holy men Twelve Hides of Land around the Tor upon which to build small homes, hermitages perhaps, and they settled here. The Holy Thorn blossoms every Easter and Christmas and the Mayor of Glastonbury cuts a flowering branch to send to the Christmas breakfast table of the reigning Monarch of England.

Joseph is said to have built the first Christian church here in this holy place, in 63AD. Built of wattle and daub it was dedicated it to Mary the Blessed Virgin. England became known as Our Lady’s Dowry, an expression still favoured by many Catholics. The early saints who came to Glastonbury sound an honour roll, and Glastonbury became the largest Benedictine Abbey and Monastery in western Christendom before its desecration under the order of Henry VIII. The martyrdom of Blessed Richard Whyting, the last Abbot of Glastonbury, is a testament of faith and courage. Glastonbury Tor has been a place of pilgrimage since the dawn of time, its very landscape empowering it with a quiet sense of mystery.

In antiquity Glastonbury was known as the Holy Isle of Avalon, famous, some say, for its apples. Sometimes it was known as Ynys Wytryn, the Isle of Glass. Centuries ago Glastonbury was surrounded by water and the Tor rose like an island from the mists that still hover and hide the town in certain seasons. Some centuries back the waters were drained by an ingenious network of rhynes where now willows grow and swans glide.

In 1733 Queen Anne honoured Glastonbury with two silver-gilt Mace, to be carried by Mace-bearers at all civic ceremonies but the special significance of royal favour goes back to Glastonbury’s very earliest history. Under Roman rule the Emperor Claudius gave his daughter Venus Julia to King Arviragus in marriage. In AD46 the sister of Caradoc the Pendragon married the Roman Commander-in-Chief Paulius. She was thereafter known as Pomponia Graecina, an honour conferred in recognition of her remarkable learning in Greek. Caradoc is remembered by us as King Caractacus, famous for his dignified stand against the Romans when he was betrayed and taken prisoner to Rome. He was released but held there for seven years, although given every privilege according to his station.

Some references hold Arviragus to be the ancestor of King Coel, Old King Cole of English nursery rhyme. His daughter Helen, a British princess, married Constantius. Helen became the mother of Emperor Constantine, founder of Constantinople and the 1000-year Byzantine Empire – the longest Empire in history. Constantine was declared Emperor in York in AD306.

The Sword of Constantine belonged to the British Coronation Regalia for over 1000 years, handed to the newly invested Monarch as Defender of the Faith until it was destroyed by Cromwell. At the age of 80 Helen made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to find the True Cross. A grandson of Constantine, Ambrosius Aurelianos, was said to be related to Uther Pendragon of Cornwall. And from this historical dawn we arrive at the beginning of the most famous story of all: the story of King Arthur.

From King Arthur onwards Glastonbury’s history is more accessible. Geoffrey Ashe has devoted his life to chronicling Glastonbury’s history and legends and has honoured us with his offer to be Patron of the Twinning of Glastonbury and Patmos.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, was born on the Greek island of Corfu; Prince Charles makes regular trips to Mount Athos where he is well known to the monks for his deep concern for the preservation of their sacred icons, frescoes and architecture. The association between England and Greece has a long precedent.

Patmos

The history of Patmos really begins with Saint John the Divine, the Theologian, who was the beloved disciple of Christ. Saint John, to whom Christ bestowed his Mother’s safekeeping after the Crucifixion, was arrested by the Ephesian emperor, tortured most cruelly, and exiled to the island of Patmos where his sanctity and healing powers were recognised as miracles by the islanders who had been living under the control of the resourceful sorcerer Kynops. Kynops, seeing his power threatened, challenged Saint John, but failing to stir him to accept the challenge, called his followers to beat the saintly man almost to death. Saint John survived, recovered, and prayed to God to turn Kynops into a rock. The rock is there to this day, mute testament to the turning of the tide in the fortunes of Patmos and its place in Christianity.

Saint John retired to a cave some two kilometres above the harbour to pray and to meditate. It was in this cave, the Cave of the Apocalypse, where he received God’s Revelation of “what must come to pass”. His Vision became the last book of the New Testament: the Book of the Revelation.

In time the emperor who had exiled Saint John died and his successor, a wise and prudent man, recalled all those who had been exiled and so Saint John returned to Ephesus. His basilica, the first Christian basilica, was built in Ephesus and dedicated to the Holy Mother of God.

Ephesus was sacred in antiquity to the Goddess Artemis, the Goddess of birth and wild animals. The earliest legend of Patmos itself tells of how Selene, the Moon Goddess, while on her way to Endymion had bathed the island lying on the bottom of the sea with her enchanting moonbeams. One day Artemis was on the way to meet Selene, her friend, and as she looked down she saw the island shimmering like a jewel on the ocean’s deep bed. She fell in love with it and begged to have it. With the help of Zeus, who convinced his brother Poseidon, the God of the Sea, that it wasn’t much use down there, the beautiful jewel was brought from its watery depths, warmed by the Sun God Helios and given life.

The tragic Orestes paused on Patmos while fleeing from the Erinyes; he built a Temple to Artemis there; other temples found from ancient times had been dedicated to Zeus, to Dionysius, to Apollo Karneios and to the lovely Aphrodite, but it is Artemis who became the patron Goddess of Patmos.

From the 4th century AD the island became a magnet for pilgrims yet the Saracen raids during the 7th century left it deserted until the 11th century when one man of vision changed Patmos forever.

Hosios Christodoulos was a monk from Asia Minor who was forced to flee to the island of Kos to escape the harsh pillaging of the Seljuk Turks. An austere man, he nevertheless had a breadth of vision that changed the island of Patmos and secured the veneration of Saint John, and the preservation of the Holy Cave, for all time. Christodoulos had been richly patronised on Kos and had founded a great monastery there, but seeking more solitude he travelled to Constantinople to ask the Emperor Alexios Komnenos if he could exchange his rich and fertile monastery on Kos for the deserted island of Patmos. In 1088 Patmos was bestowed on him as a royal gift.

Accompanied by many learned monks Christodoulos set about the building of the splendid fortress-like Monastery we see today, majestically set on top of the rockiest elevation commanding the awe inspiring view of the harbour of Skala.

In later years the Knights of St John of Rhodes recognised the Monastery’s primary importance, honouring it with special dispensations. The Patmian Seminary founded in 1713 continues its fine spiritual training. Patmos was the second island of Greece to declare its loyalty to the Greek War of Independence and finally, in 1947, the whole of the Dodecanese threw off the yoke of foreign incursions to unite with Greece. The Byzantine inheritance and magnificent treasures of the Eastern Orthodox Church is the heart and soul of Patmos, now guarded with contemporary scientific care and conservation to ensure that its glorious historical past is preserved for the future. The Museum is the finest in the Aegean.

An honour roll of Saints has blessed the island with their presence and many are the Holy Days celebrated here: September 14th is the Day of the Finding of the True Cross, Timios Stavros. In 335 Empress Helena of Byzantium, the same Princess Helen of England, discovered the Cross of Christ’s Crucifixion on one of her pilgrimages to Jerusalem. Basil was discovered where she found it and ever since then basil has been known as the holy herb, grown in pots, given to friends or strangers for good luck and protection, given by priests to the faithful.

Patmos was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.

The Twinning

Glastonbury and Patmos are world famous and share the distinction of the presence of men, in St Joseph and St John, who knew the living Christ. These men took with them the same message that Christ had taught from those earliest times; the Christianity that Joseph knew and brought to our Britain was the same that John took to Patmos.

Zoé d'Ay stayed on the Holy Island for many weeks during 2007. Deeply impressed by its spirituality she instinctively sensed the parallels between Glastonbury and Patmos. One day during her meditations in the Cave of the Apocalypse Zoé felt these parallels were compelling enough to explore in a more formal way.

The following day Zoé returned to the ancient monastery of St John the Theologian and Evangelist and asked to meet an English-speaking monk. She was introduced to a monk who, on hearing she was from Glastonbury, smiled and said he had once been a psychologist for Mendip Hospital. He was from Asia Minor but had been born in England and he knew Glastonbury well. Surprised, Zoé hesitantly explained her idea to Father Martinianos that Glastonbury and Patmos should be twinned. Fr Martinianos’ enthusiasm was heart-warming. “I shall arrange an audience for you with our Abbot, Father Antipas, tomorrow morning,” he said. And so he did.

Father Antipas welcomed Zoé warmly and with Fr Martinianos as translator said he knew well the stories of Joseph of Arimathea and the Holy Thorn; Father Antipas said he would be delighted to have a formal bond between Glastonbury, the Ancient Isle of Avalon, and the Holy Isle of Patmos.

Zoé returned to Glastonbury and spoke to the Mayor, John Brunsdon, who asked her to present the idea at the next meeting of the Glastonbury Town Council, on August 7th. Her proposal was encouraged and letters went back and forth between Glastonbury and Mr Grigoris Kamposos, the Mayor of Patmos and his Council. Patmos formally accepted the Twinning on March 14th 2008.

The initial delegation travelled to Patmos from Glastonbury at the end of May 2008. The Glastonbury group was led by Zoé and she was accompanied by Councillor Bill Knight; Kay Strain; Barry, Rosemary and Iona Clive. The Chairman of Mendip District Council and Deputy Mayor of Glastonbury, Edward James, and his wife Jane James, were surely the stars of the visit – Edward owns Weary All Hill, and is therefore the custodian of the Holy Thorn. Jane had brought with her three sprigs, still flowering from Easter, of this holy symbol: one for the Abbot of Patmos, one for the Mayor of Patmos and one for Father Martinianos. Not even the gift of the Glastonbury Town Seal would carry such meaning for this exchange of goodwill.

The hospitality the party received was magnificent. Documents in Greek and English inviting the Patmos dignitaries to a formal Civic Ceremony in Glastonbury in September 2009 were duly signed and exchanged, heartfelt speeches were said, gifts exchanged, a motley lot of photos were taken and au revoirs until next September were promised.

The essence of Twinning is to provide a bridge of goodwill as well as a rich potential for cultural, social, educational and spiritual exchange for all kinds of people who visit these two places for all kinds of reasons.

When Zoé telephoned the Government International Bureau in London she was delighted to be told that this is indeed an historic Twinning: it is the very first Twinning between Great Britain and Greece; and for it to be the two places most sanctified by the earliest of Christian saints of each land is truly remarkable.

Anyone wishing to know more about this historic Twinning is most welcome to contact:

JAYCE LANDBERG
Jayce Landberg is a Swedish guitarist, composer and science-fiction author. His debut album "Break The Spell" which features legendary singer Goran Edman on vocals has been released in Japan and is due in Europe in September 2008. His first science-fiction thriller "Shades Of Night" was published in 2005.

EARLY LIFE & INFLUENCES
Born Erik J. Landberg in 1977, Jayce grew up between Stockholm, the Swedish country side and Switzerland where his father moved to due to work commitments. Jayce was exposed to several cultures and languages which originally triggered an interest in art and poetry. It wasn't until age 14 that he finally gave in to his mother's repeated demands and expectations that he'd play a musical instrument. Shortly after, his parents bought him a Black Fender Stratocaster on which he began composing at once. The same year, at his mother's request, he entered the Music Conservatory in Switzerland which he attended for several years before moving back to Sweden. At age 17, after being heard by one of the main sponsors, Jayce was recruited to compose and perform a rock song for a sport's commercial and a product launch in Europe. Several sponsors were involved and a CD release was even planned and discussed but the project never saw the light, bankruptcy being the reported cause. Determined to see his work released, young Jayce finished composing the song against all odds but another severe obstacle would await him the same year. A few months later, he hurt his right band so badly in an accident that nerve and tendon damage followed. Jayce underwent surgery, the doctors claiming that he would never be able to use his hand a 100% again. A long recovery followed but determined to see his hand heal sooner than expected, Jayce went back playing the guitar with the cast on. He later recovered from his injuries almost fully.

STOCKHOLM
After turning eighteen, Jayce permanently relocated to Sweden where he earned a degree of Master of Arts as well as a degree of Bachelor of Law. He began playing in local bands and also formed a few local projects which he led and composed. At age 23 he met Elin Sandstrom, also interested in art and painting and with whom he would have a relationship for seven years. He later dedicated his sci-fi novel "Shades Of Night" to her while the two were still together. At 24, Jayce jumped off his last musical contribution, eager to start a solo project of his own. He decided to call a few friends of his to form a band, Goran Edman being one of the members and the project resulted in the limited edition EP "Lost Without You" which featured the epic ballad "Marilyn" which Jayce had originally written on piano to his former band. The EP was only realeased in Europe but was soon imported by japanese record stores. As a result, Jayce caught the attention of Japanese record companies and landed a deal with "Marquee Records" in Tokyo to record his debut album "Break The Spell".

CALIFORNIA
As a result, Jayce moved to San Francisco where he met with other musicians and took time writing material for the album. One month later, upon returning to Stockholm, Elin who had followed him shortly to California called to comfirm their mutual separation and a few weeks later recording sessions began in Sacramento. While staying in San Francisco, Jayce composed and recorded a radio jingle for CBS and the famous show "Radio Alice". The jingle was aired several times and Jayce was also interviewed live. Shortly after, Jayce moved back to Sweden to complete the mix and the Album was released in Japan in March 2008 followed by exposure in Magazines such as 'Burrn Magazine' etc. CBS ordered a new jingle entitled "When frisco Wakes Up" which Jayce wrote, this time featuring Goran Edman on vocals. Back in Sweden, Jayce landed a new deal with "Escape" in England which is planning a European remastered release for the album through a "Sony Music/BMG" distribution.

CURRENTLY
A new radio jingle for CBS has been rumoured and Jayce is working on a new album for 2009 and the release of a new Novel shortly.

Kern County (Bakersfield) Gun Club
The Kern County Gun Club is located in Bakersfield, California, and is one of the newest clubs in the West devoted to the shotgun sports. Ground was broken in September 2002 following the closure of the old Kern County Gun Club located off Gordon's Ferry on land leased from an oil company. The new club includes nine trap fields, 11 skeet fields, one five stand and two sporting clay fields. The Kern County club was built on 163 acres adjacent to the Lake Buena Vista Recreation Area. It is a private club, owned by its membership, which in September 2008 totaled over 300. The club was built with the sweat equity and generous donations of its members. In 2007 it hosted the Californian State Skeet Shooting Championship as well as the Zone 7 Championship. The club hosts two main skeet tournaments a year: the Desatoff Open and the Kenny Barnes Open. The club also boasts a full clubhouse with rest rooms, a barbeque area and RV parking. The club was built at a time when development pressure has forced many other gun clubs across the west to close. It is organized as a 501(c)4 non-profit and is run by a 11-person board of directors. Its website (www.kerncountygunclub.com) features upcoming events and spotlights local shooters.
