When presented with the opportunity of a lifetime there tends to be one major factor that holds people back… expense! Fundraising is an integral part of any expedition and, in many ways, it may appear to be the most difficult challenge you will face. Remember though, this has been achieved by countless other volunteers and with little bit of hard work, determination and a helping hand from us, you can do it too!
Whenever we visit a University, we aim to set-up an effective fundraising group so students can maximise their fundraising potential with both individual and group efforts. Group fundraising might involve holding events on (with permission) and off campus, while your individual efforts can incorporate applying for grant funding as well as planning activities and events within your own community.
After you have secured a place on an expedition, you will have access to all of the fundraising information that we have gathered over the years, and continue to build as more and more students share their success with us. This will be provided for you in an electronic fundraising pack containing multiple useful documents, equipment discounts, volunteer case studies, lists of potential grants and a recording of the Opwall fundraising presentation – just in case you missed us at your Uni. We cover everything from setting a realistic target and creating a fundraising plan, to how you can write a grant application letter and successfully organise events for maximum profit.
If you have any queries about fundraising, please contact your local fundraising team:
UK – email@example.com
USA – email@example.com
Canada – email@example.com
Probably the most lucrative area for individuals. Charitable trusts, universities, councils, local companies and organisations all have funding opportunities for Opwall volunteers. The nature of our expeditions means that we fulfil a lot of different funding criteria; you can fit your expedition in to applications for travel, education and career development grants to name just a few. We are always happy to offer advice on your applications, so run them past your local Opwall fundraising team before sending them off!
Likely the first thing you thought of when you read the word 'fundraising'. This area can encompass an array of different ideas including sponsored events, bag packing, car washes, cake sales, car boot sales, gig nights, themed parties… the options are endless! We will give you an A-Z of activities to give you some inspiration and case studies of the most successful events we have seen from our students. We can also offer advice on how to plan these events, advertise them and maximise profits by seeking out free or discounted venues, entertainment and refreshments.
Raffles are massively lucrative as they have a great return and people love the chance to be a winner! Approach local companies for raffle prizes and hold your raffle alongside a big event for your friends and family to attend. UK students also have the opportunity to sell tickets for the Opwall Grand Prize Draw – we have sourced the prizes and printed the tickets for you, so all you have to do is sell! These are an easy and effective way to raise money over the course of the year – one of our 2017 students sold 800 tickets! Please see below for more info.
The most obvious way to raise money for your trip as you are guaranteed funds for the hours that you put in. We understand it can be difficult to balance a job alongside your studies, but if you do have some extra time on your hands this is a productive way to use it! Think about picking up a weekend job during term time, or a temporary position over the holidays. As well as actively earning money, you may also be able to utilise your work-place and colleagues to help you fundraise! If nothing else, this will definitely take the pressure off looming payments.
To encourage students to follow in the footsteps of this great explorer and naturalist, Operation Wallacea offers the Alfred Russel Wallace Grant. There are two forms of this grant, both aimed at students looking to join our biodiversity teams working around the world in the Summer of 2018.
The first is for UK university students. We have ten grants of £1000 each, sponsored by Premier Oil and available to students studying at a UK university and taking part in a 2018 expedition to Indonesia. Research Assistants and Dissertation Students may apply.
The second is for US university students. We have one grant of $1500, one grant of $1000 and three grants of $500 available to students enrolled at a US academic institution and taking part in a 2018 expedition to any country. Again, both Research Assistants and Dissertation Students may apply.
Martin Suthers was a good friend to Operation Wallacea, and acted as Trustee and then Chairman for the Opwall Trust for 16 years. When Martin sadly passed away in 2016, he left a legacy to help students get out in to the real world and gain the hands-on field experience required for a career in conservation.
The Martin Suthers' grant is available to UK and Ireland University students who are embarking on any expedition in 2018. There are two grants of £250 available and, as with most grants, there are specific criteria that volunteers must meet to be eligible to apply; they must demonstrate that they have fundraised a significant proportion of their expedition already. After raising a minimum of £1000, students may apply by telling us exactly how they did it. Make sure you take lots of photos and keep copies of any posters or flyers you create – these will really make your application stand out!
Tickets for the 2017/18 Grand Prize Draw can be purchased from our online shop. These are bought at £3.50 per book of ten and can be sold on for £1 a ticket – generating a profit of £6.50 per book. The money volunteers spend on tickets is used to fund the prizes: £5000 cash, a 4 week expedition and £1000 cash!
Operation Wallacea Trust Grand Prize Draw 2016 – 2017 Results
3rd Prize – £1500 cash – Anna Butler (#19426)
2nd Prize – A 4 week Opwall expedition – Sean Mockford (#31169)
1st Prize – £5000 cash – James Kane (#48459):
"What a lovely surprise to hear from Georgie at Operation Wallacea that I had won first prize in their Prize Raffle of £5000. I've just recently retired after reaching the age of 65 working for the last 35 years as an Ambulance Driver with the Scottish Ambulance Service and the money has come at a lovely time what with "dare I say it Christmas fast approaching" as I have quite a few grandchildren and just recently my first great grandchild to go round but I think the wife and I will also manage to squeeze a nice holiday in for ourselves. Thank you very much Georgie and all at Operation Wallacea and keep up the good work that you are all doing"
Here's a quick, FREE and easy way of raising funds. Collect FREE donations towards your trip when you, family and friends shop online! You can get started straight away by registering your expedition as a cause with easyfundraising.
There are over 3,300 retailers giving donations on everything from groceries and DIY, to takeaways and fashion, to holidays and insurance. Hundreds of our volunteers have used easyfundraising to date and raised a MASSIVE £48,000, to help them fund their expedition.
To help you get started, we've created a simple guide giving you details of how to use easyfundraising and explain to family and friends how they can support you. You can view it here.

***Bottom-Line***: Like I stated from the outset, insurance is a necessary evil, but so far we have been in good hands with **GEICO Insurance Co**.
For automobile insurance we used to be covered by **Allstate Insurance Co.**, a concern we have been doing business with for the last 12 or so years. But the *"Good Hands"* people kept raising my rates every time my policy came up for renewal. My automobile insurance was going up on average of $25.00 every six months. This was the case despite that fact that my driving record is spotless and has been for the last 7 years; no accidents, moving violations, or even parking tickets.
So I started looking around for something more affordable. I think I looked at them all; *Progressive, Nationwide, State Farm, American Family Insurance*, and in the end I went with **Geico Insurance**, because their claims of hundreds of dollars of savings are legitimate.
The** ****G**overnment **E**mployees **I**nsurance **Co**mpany or** GEICO Insurance Co.,** is headquartered in the nation's capitol, Washington DC. The company got its start providing insurance to government employees and high ranking military officers (today, the company offers discounts to ALL U.S. Military personnel). Today, **GEICO** offers insurance to the masses at rates that often undercut the more staid brands like *All State* and *State Farm*.
**GEICO** offers all matter of insurance including *Automobile, Homeowners, Renters, Flood, Life, Umbrella, Commercial Auto, Motorcycle, ATV, Boat, RV, Off-Road Vehicle/ Snowmobile, and Overseas Insurance*. The list is impressive and growing. So far all we have is Automobile insurance with **GEICO**, may soon pick up Condo insurance as well when our policy with *All State* is due to renew in the fall.
**My Viewpoint**
The **GEICO **web-site is useful, comprehensive, and very, very, useful. One can get a quote, open a policy, renew a policy, view paperwork, update account information, make a payment, contact customer service, report an accident, file & track a claim all on-line. Nothing could be easier.
Insurance is a necessary evil, but so far we have been in good hands with **GEICO Insurance Co**. True, so far we haven't filed any claims so I cannot speak to the veracity of that process. I can however speak to the low prices; they are by far the lowest of all of the major insurance companies. I have read more than a few negative reviews about **GEICO **on-line, but I hope they are not the norm; time will tell.

I was shopping around to be sure I had the best rate with my current insurance company. I went online and did the Geico quote thing. When I got the quote back I was amazed at how much I could save by switching to Geico. Uh huh... right.
I started to take the next step and actually wanted to purchase the policies online. They asked for all the info again (drivers, ages, etc.) When they came back the price was DOUBLE what was actually quoted online, and they refused to insure one of my cars (a new 2007 Lexus IS!!). I tried to call to find out why the price difference was so high and why they wouldn't insure my car. I got the canned message as to "all associates are busy, please leave a message and we'll call you back." I did this 3 times and NO ONE ever returned my call.
We all have good driving records, no tickets, etc. and I never got an explanation as to why the price doubled from the online quote. Every once in a while I get emails from them wanting me to "come back and get another quote." Like I said before... Uh huh... right.
Others may have good experiences with Geico, but I for one will stick with my local agent who actually answers the phone, calls me back, and works with me on my coverages.

Comments about Geico:
I have switched my auto insurance to Geico because they enticed me with the same coverage for less the price. However, after 6 months, they raised my monthly fee by $20/mo. I showed around but everybody else had the same price so I did not cancel my policy. Another 6 months passed and they raised my monthly fee, yet another $20/mo. I have considered shopping around but never had the time to so. My contract ends in Oct so I will for sure be shopping around for another insurance provider.
Comments about Geico:
I had one time my vehicle was hit and I left was damaged they wouldn't pay on it saying it was an ad on because I live in Florida second time my truck was vandalized and they wouldn't pay saying it was manufacture defect
Comments about Geico:
Been with Geico a little over 15 years and would never change to another provider.

Geico is a good overall company if you don't mind paying out the wazoo for insurance. When I had a claim they did a great job with my car repair. But after 1 accident in 10 years my rates increased several times with renewal.
Comments about Geico:
Geico is a great insurance company. Good prices and a variety of products and discounts available. I have been with them for years. I have my auto and renters insurance thru them. I have had to use their claim service and it went smoothly. I like that I can take care of my business with them 24 hours a day. Geico's website is also very user friendly.
Comments about Geico:
Love the app. Love the quality of customer service.
Comments about Geico:
This company pays out road rage claims against their clients. Making them stuck with them because no other company will take them. Insurance companies are supposed to protect their customers but Geico won't. They claim to use the rules to pay claims but that is a lie. So if you want to save money on the short term, go for it. But don't get a claim against you that is clearly not your fault, because you are stuck.

Comments about Geico:
I decided to switch to another insurance company. Then Geico contacted the DMV and said there was a short gap in my insurance months back. If there was, it was Geico's fault. I never missed a payment. My license was suspended because of what Geico said! I had to pay $150. to get my license back. Never, never, never get Geico insurance. You will regret it!!!!!!!
Comments about Geico:
Geico makes everything very user friendly for it's customers. They allow you to have your insurance cards on your cell phone!!!That's a very nice feature to have for someone like me who looses every paper insurance card I get in the mail. Another feature I enjoy the most is because I am always able to get in touch with a customer service representative either online or by phone. I hate not being always to talk to someone when I cannot find the information that I need from their website. The biggest bonuses for me are the way I can pay my bill and the price. Geico is literally the cheapest insurance company that I have ever gotten a quote from. Geico also let's you pay by phone and online, my favorite option is being able to pay online with my debit card. There's nothing worse for me than actually having to go to a physical location during certain hours, I am always working.
Comments about Geico:
Had an accident, took the car to the body shop. when I took it out of the body shop I still found problem with the vehicle. Geico now does not want to pay for any more damages nor does the body shop.

I am a TOTAL summer child. Being able to wear breezy clothes that allow the sun to warm your skin as a cool breeze caresses your upturned face. Feeling your bare feet in the grass, or digging your toes into the sand while falling backwards into the water and feeling it catch you. Opening all the windows of your house and being able to hear the birds sing while your curtains flutter with the wind blowing in. These are some of my favorite things ever. I literally crave them all winter long. So let's just revisit some warm summer vibes together on this chilly winter day.
Ok so these images weren't actually taken during the summer, technically it was fall. But here in Tennessee, our early fall can still have many summery days up it's sleeve (which I never complain about!) We took advantage of that for a lakeside group photo session with several local models and photographers. It was a wonderful opportunity to work with and meet several talented women I'd not had the chance to work with before, as well as to work with a few again that I have loved working with in the past! It was a delightful creative re-charge to be out in nature surrounded by so much talent and beauty!
I'm also a total literature nerd. So often when I shoot personal work and creative projects, I'll use some of my favorite quotes for inspiration. I've included those here as well- some of which I was inspired by before even capturing the image, others came to me afterwards. For all my fellow lovers of literature- I hope you enjoy these as well!
"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things."
― Mary Oliver
"She worked her toes into the sand, feeling the tiny delicious pain of the friction of tiny chips of silicon against the tender flesh between her toes. That's life. It hurts, it's dirty, and it feels very, very good."
― Orson Scott Card
"I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living."
― Anaïs Nin
"She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world."
― Kate Chopin, The Awakening
"You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say 'Wow, isn't he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?' You think I'll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I'll swallow you whole."
— Warsan Shire
"When the ax came into the forest the trees said the handle is one of us."
― Alice Walker
"She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn't something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water."
― Roman Payne
"The world's big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark."
― John Muir
"The nature of this flower is to bloom."
― Alice Walker
And as summer and fall fade into winter, I leave you with these well loved words from Robert Frost:
"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."
Big thanks to Jason for organizing this outing!

Dia Tokyo and moreGeneralPosted by Gotbild 2017-08-30 10:59:29
Akicha have had a busy weekend and the days before and after, so I have to make 2 posts again. The week after Tokyo Street Collection she took it calm, just a few selfies.
But on Friday 25th she had a lot to do. First a new Pococha session.
And of course Tiary TV, even if this is recorded earlier.
And in the night she and Mariyagi had a End of Summer DJ gig on DiaTokyo.

Are you one of those people who think anything labeled 'folk' music is comprised solely of Mumford & Sons-like bands and you're not a fan? Well, I'm here to tell you that you're sorely mistaken, and I have the perfect band for you. This next band categorizes themselves as 'Experimental Indie Folk' and they'll change those preconceived notions of yours about anything categorized 'folk' seconds into any of their tracks. Badass Band 65 is KG Bird.
When KG Bird was brought to my attention I can't say I didn't hesitate at the word experimental. For me, that word is a double edged sword when a band calls themselves that, either they will be insanely unique and refreshing to the ear holes, or they are complete shit and call themselves that in an effort to cover up for their shittiness. I took a listen to KG Bird's digital album 'Morning Weather' and after listening to the track 'Burn' I knew KG Bird fell into the "insanely unique and refreshing to the ear holes" category. 'Burn' with its harp-like keys, mellow rhythms, roughly pleasing vocals and ghostly howls, had me entranced immediately. Then I moved on to songs 'That's Just The Way It Goes', 'Pull the Mask Off', 'Salvation', etc., each tune being practically its own entity. The lyrics in each song tell stories, but in a quick, witty style that readily keeps your attention.
KG Bird was born out of another band called Cue the Moon, and is comprised of Chris James- Vocals/Guitar, Tim James- Drums/Guitar, Ryan Parmenter-Bass, Will Nicolls- Guitar, and Aya Kawaguchi- Keys. Really, KG Bird fits into the folk category because they are extremely vocally and lyrically focused. The story each song tells and Chris' vocals expressing this are the true highlight of the song, in keeping with the true definition of 'folk'. The instrumentals are an expertly crafted hodgepodge of interesting beats, keystrokes and rhythms to act as a mild vehicle to the showcase the vocals. You may be thinking that all bands do this, but when you hear KG Bird, you will understand what I'm talking about. The way KB Bird is 'experimental' is in the fact that the instrumentals in their tunes span all sorts of genres and time periods in music. You have some call and chant type songs, some 50's era-ish sounds, at times you may even catch a nod to some metal. Like I mentioned earlier, they are refreshing to the ear holes.
Chris was rad enough to take some time to chat up BBB so scope the interview below to read the amazing story about how he got into music, what Batman has to do with their name, and why he would change nothing about the music industry.
You can catch KG Bird live next at our show 'Badass Bands Blog Presents Ben Johnson, KG Bird, Barnaby Saints and The Get Down Boys' at Silverlake Lounge February 27th at 9pm!
When and why did you start playing music?
That's a tough one. I am 31 years old now, I'm an old man, so I have been playing music for a long time. I didn't get started until I was a little bit older. I was actually involved in a pretty knarly accident in high school where I was burned over 40% of my body. I was 18 at the time and never played music before that. I was never into the arts or anything creative, but the injury was so significant that I was in a medically induced coma for a long time. I was in the hospital for 35 days and the only thing I could really do, I couldn't talk or anything because I had swallowed some super heated air so my vocal chords and lungs were damaged. I could however, listen. I could listen to music in the hospital. Friends of mine brought music and stuff and once I got out of the hospital too I was kind of immobile. This is when I first started getting into music. I listened to The Beatles a lot back then, they are a huge influence on me. From there I got more and more interested. Growing up I had an uncle who is very close to me and he got me a guitar for my eighteenth birthday which I was really excited about even though I had no idea what I was doing. I slowly tinkered around with it and I love it. I felt a connection to it. I actually got myself a drum set, so my first real instrument, even though I was tinkering around with guitar, was actually the drums. I immediately was attached to drums because I thought, and it was a little bit of grandiosity, but I thought, "Man I can jump on the drums and play right away! This is great, I don't need any lessons! I can play some rock n roll drums!" My brother, he was into the guitar so we formed a band. I was 19 or 20 at the time. It was just a garage band that slowly but surely kept spiraling out of control. We formed what eventually became Cue the Moon, an LA based rock band. I played drums for Cue the Moon for a long time, until I decided to go do something else. I stopped pursuing music and went to grad school. I decided to pursue mental health instead and kind of left music behind. I still tinkered on guitar a bit and then I started writing songs. I discovered a whole new side of myself. Playing drums with Cue the Moon was fun, but it was really intense prog rock music, and it was hard to keep up with the other guys in the band who were phenomenal instrumentally. I put a lot of pressure on myself, so it was nice to be kind of free from that. I like more melodic pop, folksy music. That is kind of how KG Bird started. I was tinkering around on guitars, Cue The Moon ended up discontinuing playing music and some of the old members of Cue the Moon were like 'Hey Chris you're playing guitar and writing some songs!' and I was like, 'Yeah, you want to come over and play some songs with me?" So they said, "Oh yeah, you really want to play with us?" and here I am, always amazed that they want to come over and play with me. I'm excited. I think, "No way, you guys don't really want to play my songs do you?" Amazingly, it has snowballed from there.
What musicians do you admire?
I admire a lot of musicians. Most notably, Jim Putnam of Radar Brothers more than anyone else. He is a beautiful songwriter and has some amazing things recorded. He has really dark beautiful music. I also like David Bourbon, and Stephen Roth, I like the stream of consciousness type writing. When I started KG Bird, I know I can't play guitar very well, but one thing I liked was coming up with lyrics so I admire David and Steven because they have this way of writing lyrics that are funny, poignant, and keep you guessing. You never know what they are going to say next, that's what I like so much about writing songs, coming up with something spontaneous. Sometimes I write something without even thinking about it and then think to myself, "Whoa, I just wrote that." and then I come back to it later and think, "Why the hell did I write that, that's really fucked up." You have to have the ability to keep yourself on your toes and not filter yourself at all. I try to carry this over to our live shows. Sometimes I'll make up lyrics to songs. For the listener its more exciting that way. One more that I really have been into lately is Townes Van Zandt. He's an old, folksy, kind of country western singer. He has just really amazing cowboy lyrics, totally genuine. There is nobody like him. I can listen to 'Our Mother The Mountain' over and over again and find something new about it.
Why the name KG Bird?
We get asked this a lot, people think we're affiliated with the USSR or something like that because of the KGB reference. I totally didn't even get that. Really, its from an old 1960's Adam West Era Batman episode where the Penguin is trying to take over the world and he has a secret warehouse that Batman somehow finds out about. All he does is go to this public directory of business listings and Robin and he are going through all the listings and Robin says, "KG Bird, Batman do you think this could be it?" and sure enough KG Bird is the secret warehouse where the Penguin is coming up with his plot to take over the world. I just thought it was funny, it was totally just a joke, I never thought that KG Bird would become anything. Now that it has its kind of funny that it's the name that stuck.
Describe your show visually and musically for someone who has never been.
Visually expect a lot of gyrations and energy. I really want to do more visually on stage, I think that is going to come, lots of colors and projections. We used to do that. Visually, it's always exciting, we have a lot of energy and I have a lot of passion when I play. Musically, we always play a really good mix of songs with a lot of different rhythms and layers. We pride ourselves in getting a really good sound live. It's a lot of fun. I try to be engaging and get the audience involved. I love to play music, I can't stop smiling when I am on stage so expect to see me smiling a lot. I can't believe I am up there, I just like to have fun with the audience.
How does your creative process typically work?
I guess its pretty traditional. I write songs on acoustic guitar and more or less I don't bring them to the band until they are completely done. Typically, if I am writing something on guitar or whatever it is, I usually record some crappy version and tinker with them for months. I scrutinize every chord and every line and version. Then I usually bring it to the band and they hate it, so I start over. No, just kidding. When I bring it to the band, I love the guys I play with they are so fun and talented, but they just instantly get it. I am horrible about describing what I want but they just pick it up right away. Ryan will totally come up with some bass line for some groovy tune or Will, a relatively new guitar player, will know to pick up the slide and know exactly the sound I want. We recently added Aya, she is our keyboard player. She is lovely and amazingly talented. She can play like full classical pieces on keyboard but I have her playing simple chords. But she gets it right away and has a great sound. I am so humbled to play with them unless I think, "Alright, this one you're going to like, this one is gonna be good." I am constantly writing songs, I probably have 100 songs to pull from, and 90% of them are not good but I like to keep writing and see what comes up.
What do you think your greatest opportunity has been so far as a band?
Every single time I get to open my guitar case and turn on my amp and get to play with the guys in the band, its amazing. Every single time we practice, play a live show, put a mic in front of an instrument, is the greatest opportunity. We are in a honeymoon stage with the band right now. The opportunity to play is really the life affirming adventure while we are still trying to get established here in LA. It's like asking a parent, "Which kid is your favorite?" you can say, but clearly you like the kid that is better at sports.
What are you working on now, and what can we expect from KG Bird this year?
Put on your happy face because 2013 is gonna be the year of the bird. We are currently working on our second release, which should be coming out in April. We will be having an album release show. We are just continuing to grow as a band.
Why should people listen to your band? If your band had a slogan what would it be?
People should listen to our music because its fun and happy and inspired. Hopefully they will get something out of it. The only thing I think when I am writing songs is, "Would this move me?" I like to sing with a lot of passion. It will make people happy and think of certain things maybe they haven't thought of in a really long time. They should listen to us because there is really nothing else to listen to. Literally there are no other good bands out there, except the bands on Badass bands Blog.
Our slogan is "Sounds good with beef tacos".
If you had the opportunity to change something about the music industry what would it be?
I wouldn't' change anything actually. I kind of like how it is now. I think ultimately it evolved into this thing where bands are kind of having to promote and be responsible for themselves and it has this industry element to it. Things are able to happen organically, of course there is still a lot of manufactured crap but for the most part I don't think its long lasting or meaningful. I love that people have Ipods and have hundreds and hundreds of bands that they like. It's refreshing. For a while there, for whatever reason, TV or whatever, music became this thing that was way more interesting than what it actually is and it took itself too seriously. I like the fact that I can play music and generate some money and whatever from that, and have a nice fun, creative outlet where I work with other people that do stuff for us that are my friends too. Everyone is just interested in getting the band going, but there isn't this pressure anymore. When I was younger, like ten years ago, when I was playing with Cue the Moon there was this constant thing like, "Oh we have to get signed." and we had to be on a label for the music to mean something. It dawned on me that I like the fact that it is something we can do ourselves and take the reins on.
Random Portion
One song you never get tired of.
'Seabird' -Allesi Brothers
Best live show you have ever gone to.
The most fun I have ever had at a show, I went to go see this band called The Advantage, they are an LA based band. They did all Nintendo cover songs in like a heavy metal rock style. They were incredibly good. It was at The Echo. They were really playing amazingly well and it was great because I knew all the songs. It was infectious.
The best show I have ever gone to though, was back in probably 2002, this was when I was about 21. I went to see The White Stripes right after White Blood Cells came out. It was right at the time when the music scene was changing and this new band came up and they had a crazy, awesome dynamic. I have never been to a show where I saw an audience that captivated, which is hard in LA. I remember distinctly hearing Jack's guitar and all his feedback coming in and a giant American Flag coming down and 'Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground' started playing. I was like, "Okay, I wasn't sure if I loved you guys but now I do."
Favorite things to do NOT musically related.
I love the outdoors, hiking, skiing, going to lakes, and traveling. I think the most important thing that I do in my life though is the volunteer work I do with the burn community. I am pretty heavily involved and go visit other patients in the burn hospital all the time, I work with USC County Hospital, Grossman Burn Center, and the Council of Burn Survivors. Recently, we did a little retreat where I taught burn survivors and their families how to ski. After my accident it was difficult to put life in perspective and there were a lot of questions and I went through some dark times. It wasn't until I started volunteering and getting involved in the burn community gave my life meaning. What is more beautiful that a musician with meaning? I think that's I what makes me so much more excited to play music these days, I appreciate it much more.
If you could be a fictional character, who would you be?
I would like to be a sad robot, like a homeless robot, more like a nomad per say. I would just wander the world as a robot.

Changing the way we think about global change research: Scaling up in experimental ecosystem science
Document Type
Scaling is a naturally iterative and bi-directional component of problem solving in ecology and in climate science. Ecosystems and climate systems are unquestionably the sum of all their parts, to the smallest imaginable scale, in genomic processes or in the laws of fluid dynamics. However, in the process of scaling-up, for practical purposes thewhole usually has to be construed as a good deal less than this. This essay demonstrates how controlled large-scale experiments can be used to deduce key mechanisms and thereby reduce much of the detail needed for the process of scaling-up. Collection of the relevant experimental evidence depends on controlling the environment and complexity of experiments, and on applications of technologies that report on, and integrate, small-scale processes. As the role of biological feedbacks in the behavior of climate systems is better appreciated, so the need grows for experimentally based understanding of ecosystem processes. We argue that we cannot continue as we are doing, simply observing the progress of the greenhouse gas-driven experiment in global change, and modeling its future outcomes. We have to change the way we think about climate system and ecosystem science, and in the process move to experimental modes at larger scales than previously thought achievable.

Dietary and nutritional therapies are not the same. Dietary therapies emphasizes correct eating and drinking for health, while nutritional thearpy is concerned with the use of nutritional or food supplments to treat existing health problems. Conversely, nutritionist even thought they support the idea of healthy eating believe that the average western diet does not contain all the nutrients the body needs attributing this largely to modern methods of food production which causes most foods, to be low in nutrients or lack nutrients altogether. Nutritionists recommend that these missing nutrients should be provided via the intake of various vitamins, mineralsand other food supplements.
There are many diets based on various different principles that have been designed to promote health and that claim to be effective in alleviating some painful conditions. They include the mono diet, the hay diet, the Gerson diet and the macrobiotic diet. Specific dietary recommendations have also been matched to specific illnesses, such as asthma, migraine and arthritis. Sufferers from these and other illnesses should monitor their pain history and diet carefully which may to discover for themselvesa helpful regme. Any diet should be examined carefully to see that it includes all necessary nutrients and should be followed with caution.
Nutritional deficiencies in the diet can be identified by analysis of body fluids. Generally, supplements should be taken regularly over a period of weeks, months or even years, although a quick boost of vitamin C can help boost the immune system. Taking agood quality multivitamin and mineral supplement is the best way of ensuring that you get a good balance of nutrients.
Supplementing with one vitamin or mineral on its own is not as effective as taking several nutrients together. Many nutrients need others to be effective. For example, vitamin C needs zinc to work properly and the B vitamins should usually be taken as a complex as there are more than a dozen of them and they work by complimenting each other. When taking supplements, take them with or just after a meal. If taking a number of supplements divide them equally between meals. Do not take all vitamin C in the morning and the B complex in the evening as these cannot be stored by the body for later use. Seek the advice of a trained therapist if you want to take large doses of any supplements. Expect to feel the benefits with in first three months. See a nutritional therapist if no benefits are experienced. For a specific condition it is advisable to seek expert advice of a qualified nutritional theapist.

Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols are spending their hiatus from the locally filmed drama series "One Tree Hill" at the beach. But it's no vacation.
The stars have been sharing their outage over the Gulf oil spill through their Twitter accounts (@SophiaBush & @AUS10NICHOLS) and other social media for the past few weeks, and they just released photos from their recent trip to Grand Isle, LA, to Zap2It.com.
The pair share their outrage at the limited access they received and the claims of locals who want to help but say BP won't let them.

Sell My Watch
After Breitling had conquered the skies, it decided to do the same with the seas. The Superocean launched in 1957, which allowed Breitling to do just that. With over-sized hands and a triangular hour hand, this watch seems to be inspired from the 1950s. Unlike many other Breitling models, the Superocean does not come in a variety of different dial colors. Instead, the dial remains matte black, and the chapter ring and tip of the seconds hand are offered in a variety of colors. The Superocean models available today are even more durable than the original with its diameter increasing from 42mm to 44mm and water resistance increasing from 1500m to 2000m. Breitling definitely conquered the seas with this watch as the Superocean has become many divers first choice in watches.

Yea it's really good black coffee, but it's black coffee. Two: There is nothing more manly than great woodwork. That's what you need the Clive Stand from Clive Coffee. Made of salvaged Oregon Walnut and not much else, it is like the coffee helps to make a timeless classic that every father would agree is simply "good work."

LONDON (Reuters) – Fines paid by banks for rigging interest rates will be used to finance a tax break for British military charities raising funds from a First World War memorial that has brought millions of visitors to the Tower of London.
The Treasury has said it will waive the value added tax (VAT) on the sale of hundreds of thousands of bright red ceramic poppies that form a hugely popular installation marking the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War.
The government will donate the amount it would have received in VAT — 1.1 million pounds ($1.7 million) — to six military charities.
It said some of the money it has collected in fines imposed by British authorities on seven banks and brokers accused of rigging the benchmark Libor interest rate will be used for the donation.
That comes on top of the proceeds from every poppy sold already set to be shared among the charities, which include Combat Stress and the Royal British Legion.
The government certainly has the funds to make the VAT gesture. Banks including Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and Switzerland's UBS have paid 460 million pounds ($730 million) to British financial regulators to settle allegations of interest rate rigging.

Nationally syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham lit into an immigration proposal from House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) Monday, saying it would actually weaken border security.
The proposal, which a group of lawmakers appointed by Speaker John Boehner have included in forthcoming recommendations to the GOP conference, is becoming a flash point in the intra-Republican debate over how to address tens of thousands of illegal alien children streaming across the border.
"Do not fall for the so-called Republican solutions to this current invasion in the southwest of Texas. Don't fall for it," Ingraham warned her listeners.
"Right now, under current law, the Border Patrol, by the way, is required to have 'operational control' of our border… the McCaul bill brings the 'operational control' requirement down to 90 percent. So you go from 100 percent down to 90, great," Ingraham said.
"They basically say if DHS fails to get up to 90 percent 'effectiveness' in controlling the border, the only thing that DHS needs to do… is to send a letter to Congress explaining why it has failed. That's it," she added.
Ingraham also criticized an immigration bill from Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), the senate minority whip, which he cointroduced with Rep. Henry Cueller (D-TX). The Cornyn proposal amends a 2008 human trafficking law to remove hurdles to deporting illegal alien children from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador–the three countries from which most of the unaccompanied children have originated.
But critics have seized on language that appears to provide new legal avenues for the children to launch appeals.
"Section 103 of the Cornyn bill allows any unaccompanied minor who came in after 2012 to go before an immigration judge, even if the minor has already been issued an order of removal," Ingraham said, adding:
That's in the Cornyn bill. Also, it asks the judge to expunge the order of removal and re-litigate it. This is going to take forever, this Cornyn bill. All the requirements under this–it gives the illegals a second chance for amnesty, in other words. This is absurd. The whole purpose of the bill is getting rid of the backlog, but Cornyn's bill–by adding on all of these requirements–actually adds to the backlog.
Ingraham warned that either the House bill, or Cornyn's bill, could be used as "a vehicle to promote the ultimate Senate Gang of Eight bill" via a conference committee.
Update: A Homeland Security aide contacted Breitbart News to respond to Ingraham, saying "Our bill requires not less than 90% operational control within 2 years with an aspirational goal of 100%. Right now in the best sector DHS is stopping 47% because we've been throwing money aimlessly with no strategy. We are holding them accountable for every dollar they spend."
The aide also touted the bill's provisions regarding setting metrics to measure whether the border is secure. "Until now, any president could blur the lines and declare the border is secure because we've had no valid measuring stick. The metrics, and the oversight of border sheriffs, border governors and a third-party independent verification, will finally provide "proof" of what's really happening. With that proof, we can hold any administration's feet to the fire," the aide said.
The aide also said the McCaul bill "does not address immigration reform or amnesty and cannot automatically trigger a conference committee with the Senate."

We acquire talked to all type of inquiries listed below at Woodley companions from https://charlotteaction.org/woodley-escorts. A few days ago I hopped on representative with a really good gent, and he inquired me just exactly what transforms me on over dinner. I expect that is certainly not usually the form of point you talk to a woman over supper in a restaurant, having said that this seems that some bistros are a lot even more open minded compared to others. To be truthful, there are bunches of a variety of points that spin me on, as well as terrific dish is just one of all of them. I don't such as food which more than the leading but I imitate food items which is well supplied and choices wonderful.
One more point that really improves me on is actually aroma. If I genuinely like the technique an individual smells, I a secure seriously turned on. At first I thought it was just me however then I positioned that many of the several other females right here at Woodley partners, are turned on by fragrances likewise. It does not have to desire trims or tough colognes that could just be a pleasant tidy new fragrance that transforms me on. Really, there are particular skin cleanses that in fact improves me on, as well as that is nice to become capable to uncover an individual as well as find of you could find a fragrance that turns you on. Numerous parts of the physical body have their own scent.
I furthermore like foolish romantic points like candlestick lightings. A great deal of the females at Woodley buddies desire to possess candle lights along with smooth lights. Each candlesticks and soft illumination may in fact very seriously enhance you on, and also concurrently, they can aid you to loosen up also. I such as aromatic candlesticks as well as I take place purchasing them. There are right now some personal producers on collection which source actually top quality candle lights, and also I regularly obtain those. They are kind of more specific and I like truth that I have something different in my bedroom.
Wonderful garments could possibly change me on as well. Not each of the delicate that find our team on routine manner listed here at Woodley escorts are effectively clothed however the large bulk from all of them are. For our company girls it is actually a delight when delicate are actually effectively garment. I constantly think that our company produce an attempt for people, so it behaves of people to create an initiative for our company. Nevertheless, it is one thing one-of-a-kind concerning a man in a tee t-shirt and an association.
I could not profess that guys that are actually likewise fit transform me on. Numerous of my associates at Woodley companions are actually best in to courting physical body building contractors as well as guys like that, having said that I have to be sincere as well as case that they do not do a great deal for me. I make sure some females are actually truly activated through people, but I feel that they are many more ridiculous with on their own compared with everything else. I used to date these type of guys a great deal today I opt for typical men. Many of the amount of time they possess better characters and also are certainly not therefore loaded along with themselves.

During one of my usual laidback chats with Ethan, I asked him (for the umpteenth time) if he would like to take an afternoon nap.
Ethan: No thank you, Mommy! I'm still 100% active and I can play ALL DAY LONG!
Me: Gosh, you're so weird…I would LOVE to take an afternoon nap!
Ethan: No, I'm not weird Mommy! Girls are weird! They cry when they're happy!

Decatur, Ga. (PRWEB) March 09, 2016
On Friday, April 15, 2016, Decatur Cooperative Ministry (DCM) will host the annual 2016 Decatur Shines to bring the community together and raise awareness around the issues of homelessness and poverty in DeKalb County and beyond.
The event will begin at 6 pm with a candlelight Requiem for the Living, which will take place at the Decatur Square Gazebo. The Requiem asks the community to hold dear the lives of those individuals and families who are still of the living but who are currently living through the darkness of homelessness.
The Requiem will be followed by a processional to the Lutheran Church of the Messiah. At 7:30 pm, in the church's Messiah Fellowship Hall, local choral groups in Decatur will display their talents at the Decatur Shines Sing Out. Groups will sing out for an end to homelessness and sing out for those whose voices are muted by poverty.
Decatur Shines will end with a Sleep Out. The Sleep Out invites the community to show an act of solidarity to the cause by camping out in vehicles or in tents in reserved outdoor spaces on the church property. Lutheran Church of the Messiah will provide a hot breakfast in the morning.
Join DCM in a night of unity as we shine a light of compassion for the many homeless individuals throughout DeKalb County and as we shine a light of hope for a future where every man, woman, and child has safe and stable shelter to call home.
For more information about Decatur Shines, for information about sponsorship opportunities, or for information about reserving an outdoor space for the Sleep Out, contact Marlene White at: marlene(at)decaturcooperativeministry(dot)org, 404-377-5365, ext. 108.
Proceeds from the 2016 Decatur Shines will be used to purchase furniture for four of DCM's permanent supportive housing units and to provide operating support for DCM's housing and homelessness prevention programs for families in crisis.
The mission of Decatur Cooperative Ministry (DCM) is to help families facing homelessness settle into safe, stable homes and build healthy lives filled with peace, hope and opportunity. To achieve the mission, DCM provides emergency, transitional and permanent supportive housing programs to homeless families and provides homelessness prevention services to low-income seniors, Veterans, families and individuals at imminent risk of losing their housing. Serving approximately 1,000 individuals each year, DCM programs provide clients with the resources they need to achieve and maintain long-term housing stability.
