Question For FilmTVLaw.com:
Thanks for all the amazing advice on this blog, I always end up sharing the articles with at least one friend! Wanted to find out about the Section 181 tax deduction and whether that is still available, and also about any other tax advice you can give me for my film this year.
Answer by Brandon Blake, Entertainment Lawyer:
Well this is tax time so it is a great opportunity to discuss tax issues that face film and television productions, including tax incentives, section 181, and how to properly tax plan for your production. Please also see my Entertainment Lawyer Question and Answer Forum at www.filmtvlaw.com, for more in depth and money saving advice that I publish twice a month.
First off I will address Section 181 of the American Jobs Creation Act, the tax deduction for domestically produced film, television and theater productions. For all our clients who created offerings and qualified productions in 2016, the good news is that those projects will be grandfathered in for this year. The Section 181 tax deduction will be available for investors this year and for next year, provided production stretches into this upcoming year. So there is a reward for planning and foresight.
For 2017 projects, the Section 181 tax deduction has expired, and there is no current evidence that it will be revived this year.
However, that does not affect any of the tax incentives or tax rebates of other states. So, for example, the Georgia tax credit of 30% is still available, the New Mexico refundable tax credit of 25% is still a great option (with no minimum budget, which is a big plus), or the other state tax incentive programs.
Moreover, international tax incentives are still available, and are becoming even more important with the death of Section 181. The UK Film Tax Relief program provides a rebate of up to 25%, the refundable federal tax credit of 16% in Canada is still available, plus available provincial tax incentives in Canada which can double the federal incentive, and other more far flung tax incentives and deals can reach 50% of financing. So there are many opportunities to find a substantial portion of the budget outside of the US. Part of our development service focusses on identifying tax incentives and international funding for projects.
However, tax planning does not begin and end with tax incentives. Properly setting up the tax structure of your company can save you and your investors substantial money and avoid needless accounting complications.
For example, choosing the right tax structure for your production company can produce active losses for certain members, thereby making such an investment just as attractive as an investment under Section 181, if not more so, but the arrangement requires careful attention to detail when setting up the company. Filing the production company as a partnership or C-corporation, for example, could derail the very tax advantages that your investors might be looking for when Section 181 is no longer available.
Loan out companies are another incredible way to save substantial amounts on personal tax returns. For example, did you know that by properly forming a loan-out company, that a writer, producer or director could obtain a 100% tax deduction on all production related expenditures? Even discounting the benefits of liability protection and copyright protection and management, tax savings alone will often justify the setup costs of a loan out company for writers, producers, directors and others.
But no company will set up itself, and there is no magical "check the box" on your 1040 to make a limited liability company or corporation work for you and your investors. It takes careful tax planning and preparation, the kind of work that our firm does every day for film and television makers at every budget level.
As with any entertainment matter, please do not make a decision about complex issues without consulting an experienced entertainment lawyer first. Feel free to contact my office at www.filmtvlaw.com about a quote.

Lemmy : Double Down
By Rob "Blasko" Nicholson
In a world full of rock & roll poseurs, Lemmy is a true original. Born Ian Fraser Kilmister on Christmas Eve, 1945, Lemmy kicked off his 40-year career as a rhythm guitarist in the Rockin' Vickers, a band that achieved moderate local success around its base in Blackpool, England. But Lemmy really carved his name into the tree of rock by working as a roadie for the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967. Following his credearning run with Hendrix, Kilmister parlayed his burgeoning rhythm guitar chops to create a signature style of bass playing in the space-rock outfit Hawkwind. While on tour with the band in 1975, Lemmy was pinched for drug possession charges while crossing the Canadian border. The charges were dropped, but the incident led to a falling out with the Hawkwind camp.
Spinning off to form a group of his own, Lemmy enlisted guitarist "Fast Eddie" Clark and drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor to form Motörhead, a "power" trio in the truest sense of the word. The band released its self-titled debut in 1977, and codified its take-no-prisoners approach to rock with the classic 1980 album Ace of Spades. Now with guitarist Phil Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee, Motörhead's rock recipe remains the same: Everything Louder Than Everyone Else. It's an approach that set the standard in the early days of heavy metal, and it's one that sends a clear message today: Even though much of it may be diluted with over-produced schlock, true rock & roll is alive and well.
Motörhead is one of the world's most consistent and reliable rock bands. You've never changed direction to fit in with current trends. What's the secret to the neversay- die ethic?
That's just it—never say die. And you have to realize one thing: I'm not qualified to do anything else. I am not going to suddenly quit and become an eye surgeon. When we started as a band, some people said that we wouldn't last. I can't let those bastards be right. I would rather die. So here we still are, and they're all gone.
After so many years of constant touring, do you ever get to the point where you think, God, do I have to play "Ace of Spades" again?
I used to have that thought occasionally, but I killed it. "Ace of Spades" has been really good to us, and it's one of the best songs that I ever wrote. So I suppose you have to put up with it, because everybody wants to hear it, every night. And you have to realize that just because you have played it every night, they haven't heard it in this place every night. In a small town it may be the first time that someone has ever seen us, and they have to hear "Ace of Spades," because it's part of our fabric. It wouldn't be fair not to play it.
Motörhead made the Guinness Book of Records for being the world's loudest band. What are your thoughts on volume?
By its very nature, rock & roll is supposed to be loud. Quiet rock & roll is nonsense.
Your hard-hitting pickstyle playing and midrange drive and gives you a unique bass tone.
My idol on bass was always John Entwistle from the Who. If you remember, he had the same tone—maybe a little deeper. The Who was one of the best bands I've ever heard in my life. I don't like to be mumbling away in the background; like a guitar player, I want to be heard. After all, I am a front man—I didn't get into this thing to not be noticed.
You have played Rickenbacker basses and Marshall amps for ages. What first drew you to that gear?
I saw the Who using Marshalls, and they sounded wonderful. When I was working for Hendrix, he was using them as well. I got my first stack when I was with Hawkwind, and it sounded fantastic.
I first got the Rickenbacker just for its wild shape. Plus, the neck was really skinny; I'm a guitarist turned bass player, so it was easier for me to play that thin neck. When I first started playing Rickenbackers, I had to change the pickups because they sounded to trebly. First I went with a Gibson Thunderbird pickup. That was a great sound, but I wore it out—I killed it. Now Rickenbacker is using much better pickups, so I don't have to switch them out anymore.
What about the history, death, and eventual resurrection of your "Murder One" Marshall amp?
The Marshall JMP Super Bass II head is quite an exotic animal nowadays—they are like antiques. But now Marshall has started to make the Lemmy signature stack, so they copied the Murder One. We actually had to do without Murder One for a while so Marshall could copy it; they had lost the blueprints to the original. For the cabs, I use a 4x15 cab and a 4x12 in each stack. I have two stacks onstage.
That's some serious power.
Yeah, it is. That's what I was after.
Was there a defining moment when you decided you wanted to play rock & roll for a living?
Yeah, when I saw how many chicks you could get! I loved rock & roll from the first day I heard it—Little Richard, Elvis, Fats Domino, the Everly Brothers, Ricky Nelson, and the Beatles. I used to watch Oh Boy!, a show on English TV in the late '50s that always had visiting singers, and they had Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent on one night. They were both great, and they were surrounded by screaming women who appeared to be tearing their clothes off. That was the moment I realized rock & roll was the job for me. It was like an invocation, being called to the priesthood.
As a songwriter, who are the musicians— living or dead—that you'd most want to collaborate with?
Kurt Cobain, for one. Lennon and McCartney of course, although you really couldn't write with them, could you? I mean, you would end up being beaten to death by the awe of it all. I would like to collaborate with that girl from Evanescence [Amy Lee]. I bet she is a really good writer.
Whether it's the logo, song titles, or record covers, Motörhead is one of the most significant brands in rock. How much thought went into the band's branding?
Back in the '60s, almost every band had a distinctive way of writing their band name. You know, the Yardbirds, the Beatles, and the Who all had their logos on their kick drums and record covers. That's where I come from. As a band, you've got to stand out.
You have one of the most recognizable images in rock. How important do you think it's been to your career?
Very! It was essential. You see that every night with Ozzy, don't you? You would recognize that guy from 30 miles away.
What continues to inspire you?
Not enough people have heard us yet. We aren't selling a ton of records, but I will keep on making 'em until people do buy them. If people want us to stop making records, all they need to do is give us a No. 1 hit [laughs].
What wisdom can you share about your career to a young player looking to move up?
I'll tell you what wisdom I can offer— nothing. Because nobody's ever going to experience the problems I encountered on my way up this ladder. They will have their own problems. So they are going to have to make their own mistakes and figure out a way to cope with them. There is no real advice you can give to anyone about anything. If you want to do something enough, you will just cope with it you know? Stop waiting on a bailout clause from someone else's advice, because that won't help. It won't be a cushion, and it certainly won't help you avoid anything in the future.
What is the future of rock & roll?
I have no idea. I hope it cures up a bit, though, because it's been pretty miserable for a long time.

Well when they say put yourself out there... I got as much as I can handle, and more keeps coming just as soon as I push another project or show to completion. This is really an amazing process, and I know the flow will happen in its own way... I hope I can handle it and still find time to cook and sleep!
BOLT Coffee Bar Show in Gearhart
Yesterday, I hung a show at the new BOLT Coffee Bar in Gearhart. This spot is a quick and easy stop for a road adventure coffee, located on Highway 101 near Pacific Way. The owner, John, has had a passion for owning small businesses, and this coffee bar is his new venture. He serves Oregon coffee (with s'mores additions!) and has a wall of my wood photo panels on display. There are some larger prints framed in decorative pine, too! Really, he is using my work as shop decor, but I'll let it pass for awhile.
The show will run for several months, and plan on a fun gathering for a grand opening later in the summer!
Cannon Beach Art Gallery Representation
Farther down the coast, Cannon Beach Art Gallery at 1064 S. Hemlock Avenue is now carrying several of my smaller wall and tabletop 5 x 5 mini wood panel photos. This is where you will find the Haystack Rock photo, of course! You know... that gorgeous sea stack over 15 million years old that everyone checks out for nesting puffins on top and the tide pools around its base.
Stay tuned for future adventures and new art prints that will become available! My shop is always open at https://www.etsy.com/shop/Sweetsere.

Our latest V-Card Diaries comes from Adelaide in Canada, who considers herself pansexual. Her sexual response is dulled by anti-depressants, so she's decided not to enter into another relationship until she feels eager about the other person. If you want to tell your story, go to our submission form. We'd love to run it in this blog.
A little about myself:
I'm 33 years old, from Canada. Female.
How I define virginity:
It's strange how often this has changed in my mind. I like to think it's "evolved." As I've grown, and learnt more, it went from "penis + vagina" to "physical act of sex, no matter the gender of those involved" (oral sex included- otherwise there would be a LOT of gay virgins!!) to something I can't explain completely yet. As one can have an orgasm without touching, could you possibly not be a virgin and a full-fledged sexual being by the contents of your thoughts? Just like how it is possible to not "technically" be a virgin, yet have no sense or feeling in the sexual act (if it's just seen as a technicality of a relationship, not that "little death")? What about people who don't have physical sex, but have the master/slave, mistress/slave relationship, where the only thing that passes between them is command? Many look upon these relationships as intense and loving, but is it sex? To them, it might be, since the emotions are.
Here' my story:
My story is... I have no story. Technically, I suppose, I'm still a virgin. Never allowed myself to be touched in this way, never been kissed or allowed myself to be kissed. It's not as if I haven't had offers for it. One boyfriend was so passionate and insistent it alarmed me, but nothing happened because I was completely uninterested. It may have just been the hormones, I don't know: Once sex crowded into the room, I stopped listening. He treated it as an area of "finding out." If my lips flushed, he KNEW I was aroused. Sadly, he always got it wrong. My disinterested nature didn't help, of course. It does play against my passionate nature.
I think it's an area of personal space I'm very sensitive about, and dislike it being invaded. The physical act of being that intimate with someone is horrifying for me. So, I think the person I would want would have to be something special- otherwise I could never go through with it.
Not that I wish this ideology on anyone else. We all have appetites, begun in our minds when we are quite young. I think everyone should experience sex, to whatever state it might be in... that's my ideal, so long as it's consensual. Sex is a healthy part of life - it should be, it's supposed to be. Yet, I don't consider myself to be "unhealthy"... just not wanting to cross that boundary since I haven't met someone yet I'm comfortable crossing it with. I don't like the idea of having sex with someone I feel absolutely nothing for - or when they touch me, I feel nothing, even revulsion (At myself or at their touch? I'm uncertain). I also lived a rather isolated high school life, where I was one of the outcasts and although sex was probably happening around me in earnest, it was not an area I was welcomed or even gestured towards. One profession of love turned into a group joke, so I guess something inside me closed off from being vulnerable. Also: People talked. During my 8th grade year, when my grandfather died, some were convinced I had taken time off school to have a baby. That's the kind of people I had surrounding me, so you can imagine my reluctance to take part in their "games".
The strange part is, I'm a very sexual person when my brain isn't doped with antidepressants. When I'm off them, I need "release" all the time through masturbation. If I don't, I have intense dreams. I can't masturbate when I'm on these kind of meds (though I need them, and accept this loss for the benefit they give me), because it's a fight with the blockers/excessives in my brain. I have absolutely no sex drive.
Strangely, I think I define myself as "pansexual". The beauty of both sexes overwhelm me. Where beauty is concerned, I'm not picky over the sex of the person.
I've had no negative experiences with sex: Physical experiences, I mean. I've never been abused, or forced to do anything.
I guess you could call me a virgin. Some of my friends would categorize me as such - but they may also categorize me as a failure, or "the strange one" because I haven't married, sprung offspring, bought a house, gotten a full-time job, or done all the hetero-normal things people my age are supposed to do. Other friends feel differently, and love me as I am. The previously mentioned friends love me, too, but since I don't do things as they do, they get alarmed. (I think it's more of a reflection of themselves than of me).
I have the automatic instinct to not do things "normally." Normal is boring.
I also decided (after a relationship where I feel I really hurt someone by my disinterest) not to enter into another until I was ready, eager, and willing to enjoy each other. Hasn't happened yet. But I think I am happier for it. No messing around, and no hurting people. Yet, if I end up having sex for the first time in a gas station restroom with someone I just met, if I feel comfortable with them touching me... I'd be fine with that. Whatever happens will happen.

Praktika is a multifunctional super family of 40 fonts. It consists of three distinct widths and weights from extra light to extra bold. Conceptually, it is a rendition of the familiar early 20th century European grotesque styles, used in road signage – reimagined to meet the needs of contemporary world.
Its design language, however, has been kept decidedly rough and bulky, to achieve a unique-yet-familiar look and feel.

Here I am standing naked
Your search for answers will end in agony
Here I am standing naked
(Me too)
One thing is certain that is my destiny
[Verse 1 - Psalm One]
I give you everything, yo
Standing in front of you naked crying again and I feel like a tyrant
I told you once that I loved you more than music, I was lying
But I swear you're the closest second
And I am the most depressive
But you really make me better
And I really tried to let ya
This angry love a lecture
Vulnerability measured
You calm me with your presence
When you leave me I get reckless so I'm retchin'
And hopefully I throw up all these Catch 22's
How could you win when I'm losing me fool?
Sucks to be truth that we through but we not
Catch us in bed it's so oooh! we three hot
Maximum pressure for you to see right through my heart
You so smart you can pick me apart
Playing the cards I was dealt as an only child with a single mom
I got Abandonment issues for days and if you make me mad I'm gone
So I'm wrong
Now come and make me right while my eyes are dancing
You see just how I'm standing
Plus, I'm a cancer
[Verse 2 - Natti]
Naked as in ass out, dusted without a cent
Sex was twerkin for us and love spray was the scent
Made it rain while we singles, so emotionally spent
While building our house of love she came short on the rent
Fell head over heels, but couldn't feel the decent
The quicker the lights flicker the quicker the liquor hits
I was feral, out to get lucky
Her ass was heaven above me
And I was dying to go there
As soon the spirits touched me
Club lights can turn Misses Fugly to Misses f*cks Me
Cus I ain't talkin slick trick, don't confuse it with rusty
We left our love in that condom under your sister's truck seat
My bucket wasn't fly enough for you after our first meet
No need to be thirsty, no need to rehearse the
One night standing between you and your next me
Send me a nice picture, you still thick as a swap meet
But stop callin, breathing hard and whispering to me softly
[Verse 3 - Blu]
Yo, you prolly thinking that you know me, huh?
Know me so well that you can't show me none
Well I showed you once, I know that
I told you only once, and what you do?
Take the full nine yards and scored a touch
But your hand went right through me you, thought you know me huh? Thought that you could see me when you woke up
But you woke up and you know what?
You prolly realize that you ain't know much
The Cold Crush, the so what you told your homies for four months like
"We was so drunk"
Even though you learn to roll blunts
Now how you think I feel about that?
You used to feel my tracks, feel my raps
Tell me who you finna' know as real as that
It's true, you could see right through me but see me truly
Don't think that you could screw me and tell your homegirls you used me
Like you didn't know this n*gga?
Know such and such and know so and so
But honestly?
I know how you really feel when you close the door
And I'm right there
Mr. Invisible in your right ear
It's funny how one night can make you feel like it's a year
But yea, for real

I have grown to love split peas so, it would be impossible to not add a relative recipe on this site. Split peas with caramelized onions, sun dried tomatoes, cashews, scented with sage. This dish is out of this world! I highly recommend it! Even if you don't like split peas, you should give a chance to yourself and taste the specific recipe. The ingredients pair so well that you'll be surprised!
Ingredients (serves 2-3):
250 gr. split peas, soaked overnight
2 onions, thinly sliced
6 sun dried tomatoes
1/4 cup raw cashews, coarsely chopped
1 tsp brown sugar
4 +1 Tbsp olive oil
balsamic cream
8 sage leaves
sea salt, pepper
1. Rinse split peas and cook in a pot with salted water in medium heat.
2. Add onion.
3. When liquid is absorbed (after about 45 minutes – 1 hour), remove from heat.
4. Pour olive oil, season with pepper and puree with an immersion blender.
5. In the meantime, saute onion in a non sticking pan with sugar and sage. Saute on medium heat until the onion gets translucent.

Organic Rooibos
Rooibos Orange
Rooibos Provence
Rooibos, for those of you who may not be familiar with it, is an herbal beverage made from a plant - Aspalathus linearis - grown only in South Africa. It is brewed like tea, contains no caffeine and is commonly known as red bush, a reference to its color.
Most of the Rooibos I've tasted thus far has been in tea bag form. I recently had the good fortune to sample three loose varieties from tea merchant alltea.com, who sell about a dozen types of loose Rooibos in "plain" and flavored varieties.
Organic Rooibos brews up to a very appealing dark reddish brown color and has a great flavor. While it doesn't really taste like black tea, I'd say it's about as close as you can get if you're looking for a caffeine free substitute.
Rooibos Orange is flavored with citrus peel and orange blossoms. It has a whopping strong aroma dry, but a rather delicate and pleasing taste.
There's no kitchen sink in Rooibos Provence, but that's about the only thing not present. The flavorings in this one are lavender, rose petals, dried black currants, dried blueberries, rosehip shells and the rather mysterious "natural flavors."
All three of these teas are quite good, but the last was probably my least favorite. One of the flavors didn't quite click with me, though I couldn't place what it was - perhaps the currants.
Anyway, for a nice iced tea you might try one part Organic Rooibos, one part Rooibos Orange and one part mint. I used Celestial Seasonings Organic Peppermint, which packs quite a kick, as the latter ingredient.

Drone as an application for Data Acquisition system (DAQ)
Just recently a Pakistan Taliban leader Mullah Mansoor was killed in a drone attack in the Southern Pakistani province of Balochistan (Aljazeera). This is an example of the use of drones which have gone to revolutionized warfare in the 20th century. Apart from this drones have also become a common trend used by businesses for photography purposes, filming and boosting surveillance. The photography and filming industry has embraced the use of drones without following current laws governing the use of drones in the nation airspace (Rule). This was the core reason that enabled the coming up with an efficient DAQ system to locate such drones at all times (Patil, Kumar and Mhatre).
With the increase in the use of drones and its complexity, there is a need to develop and have a Data Acquisition system (DAQ) capable of ensuring data can be acquired efficiently. What then is a DAQ system? This is a system that measures electric and physical phenomenon and converts this into digitized data that can be accessed through the use of a computer (Goswani). Most DAQ consist of a computer that has the programmable software to access the data, sensors and measurement hardware (Judd). The digital signal collected can be stored in either temporary memory (RAM) or the magnetic memory meaning it can be accessed later on or used for future references. It is critical here to note that the DAQ system consists primarily of three elements which are also called embedded DAQ systems: an input and output subsystem, the controlling software and lastly the host computer through which the data will be accessed.
The Raspberry Pi belongs to a group of boards called the ARM boards which cost less in development of the embedded systems, has a high speed and flexibility (Goradiya and Pandya). The paper is going to look into how the Raspberry Pi can be used and integrated into a DAQ system so as to accurately pinpoint location of a source. There has been an increase in drones mainly domestic violating the rules of flying, therefore, creating a need to locate the drones accurately at any given time.
The Raspberry Pi as a DAQ system
Raspberry Pi contains an inbuilt ARM11 board which as mentioned before is highly effective. A USB port and it operates primarily in Linux (Priyanga and V.). Drones are usually developed with embedded sensors in their systems that enable them to perform tasks set out to be done such as surveying and collection of data. Examples of sensors that can be found in drones include accelerometers, inertial measurements unit, tilt sensors, current sensors and magnetic sensors (Winkler). The use of Raspberry pi as a DAQ system has been controversial in the drone industry, but its application has traversed and grown despite how lightweight it is. In our model, the Raspberry pi uses microphones as the superior form of sensors. The microphones will be used to detect signals from a given range of frequencies. Microphones can be used to measure both the amplitudes and frequency characteristics. The two are represented by the following measurements: Pascals (Pa) for sound pressure which can then be converted to decibels and Hertz (Hz) for frequency. When it comes to the selection of the microphone the phase characteristics should be excellent so that when integrated with the relevant software it can be used in the detection of source of sound (PCB PIEZOTRONICS). Other factors should also be considered before the selection of microphones and they include frequency response, polarization type, temperature range and type of response field.
The microphones which will be three in total will be fitted with a Global Positioning System (GPS) to assist in the triangulation of the source of sound that is the point at which the data is received. The location where the sensors will be placed is also helpful as they should be located in an area that is free from any interference such as winds and air pressure. Since drones are constantly on the move when they are up in the air, it is therefore imperative to devise a way of pinpointing the actual source or location of the drone at any given time. Drones are equipped with an algorithm that dictates its motions in the air. These paths can be linear or in circular orbits (Sujit, Saripalli and Sousa). Since each sensor will be detecting sound independently there is need for nonlinear equations gathered from each sensor to precisely determine the location. These equations are necessary to ensure that the location of the drones can be reached at accurately. Raspberry pi integrates the equation into its model to make sure that time is not wasted on calculations. Valuable methods of solving non linear circle equations include the python programs SciPy and NumPy.
These two are open sourced to the python program. The SciPy (Scientific Python) expands on the functions of the NumPy with other mathematical techniques and algorithms which include regression and the Fourier transformation (Shell). The NumPy (Numeric Python) offers ways of manipulating large matrices of data that is numeric in nature (Shell). Arrays are the core foundations for the NumPy. The two work together and are useful in analyzing and calculating non linear circle equations. In line with the collected data from the three sensors SciPy and NumPy can be used to find the source of the location through calculations. The raspberry pi can therefore use these final data to import to a host computer from which the data can be digitized and saved for future reference.
The use of Raspberry pi is cost efficient and as shown from the procedures followed until the end, it is highly useful as a DAQ system. As mentioned before the choice of the position of the sensors is important in determining the accuracy of the data collected. The following are some of the factors to consider: the sensors should be placed in an open space with little or no obstacles and barriers, a position that cannot be affected by harsh weather conditions such as winds and heavy rains, the sensors should be placed on a high ground to avoid instances of easy access which makes them vulnerable to attacks and lastly the sensors should be able to work daily without interruptions such as the recharging of the batteries.
Just a recap of how the Raspberry pi works: the microscope sensors are placed at a strategic position so as to detect frequencies and sound of the drones, the drones data are decoded through the use of SciPy and NumPy and the numerical data is digitized and saved on either a permanent or temporary memory location for importation to a computer with relevant software to open it. When the location of the drone has been established the data is saved with the exact time plus the longitudinal and latitudinal position at the exact time. The use of Raspberry Pi is an efficient method of DAQ system.

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. steps into his new job as a senator's senator -- steeped in its culture and deeply respectful of its role in Washington's intricate balance of power. There couldn't be a more fitting backdrop than the Capitol dome when he is sworn in as vice president on Jan. 20. The Senate has defined Biden's professional life since 1972, when at age 29 he bucked President Richard M. Nixon's re-election landslide and edged out a GOP incumbent, J. Caleb Boggs, to capture the Delaware seat. Tragedy struck weeks later when Biden's wife, Neilia, and infant daughter, Naomi, were killed in a car accident and his two young sons, Beau and Hunter, were critically injured. Biden was sworn into the Senate at the boys' hospital bedside, but the young father spoke openly of suicide and considered resigning the seat he had just won. No less than Nixon, in an awkward sympathy call after the accident, urged Biden to soldier on. "Look ... at it as you must, in terms of your future. Because you have the great fortune of being young," the president told the grief-stricken Biden. Biden did choose to stay in the Senate, forging a 35-year career now in its final days. He was sworn in for a seventh term Jan. 6 even though the next momentous chapter in his life was to begin in just two weeks. He led a fact-finding mission to Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan the week of Jan. 5, insisting he was doing so in his role as Foreign Relations Committee chairman and not as a representative of the incoming administration. On Tuesday, on the West Front of the Capitol, Justice John Paul Stevens will ask the 66-year-old Biden to raise his right hand and take the oath as the nation's 47th vice president. Though Biden has spent his professional life here, he isn't a typical creature of Washington. As a single father caring for his sons, Biden early on began a daily commute between Washington and Wilmington, Del., riding the Amtrak trains. The nightly trek home helped burnish the image of a middle-class everyman -- Biden often can be found at Home Depot on a Saturday morning -- one that has endured despite his lengthy tenure on Capitol Hill. His second wife, Jill, is a professor at Delaware Technical and Community College and has spent little time in the city she will soon call home. Despite his strong ties to his home state, Biden's public identity has been honed in the elite confines of the Senate. So has his sometimes windy speaking style -- a trademark that has gotten him in hot water at times. He made headlines late in the campaign when he told supporters that Barack Obama would face an international crisis early in his presidency, designed to "test the mettle of this guy." And earlier this month, he openly criticized the Obama transition team for failing to consult the Senate Intelligence Committee on Obama's choice of Leon Panetta to head the CIA. "I'm still a Senate man and I always think this way," Biden said. Longtime friends say Biden's loose-lipped reputation is overblown. "He is direct, he does try and say what he thinks. I think that's one of the reasons Barack picked him," said Larry Rasky, Biden's longtime political adviser. "He knows he will have an honest partner who will sit across the table from him without guile or motive." Biden has long been a respected voice on foreign policy in the Senate. He also distinguished himself as a member of the Judiciary Committee, crafting the landmark Violence Against Women Act and legislation to create the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Biden became recognizable to television viewers in 1987, while presiding over the controversial Judiciary Committee hearings on President Ronald Reagan's failed nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. In 1991, he was similarly visible leading the explosive confirmation hearings for President George H.W. Bush's Supreme Court pick, Clarence Thomas, who faced Anita Hill's accusations of sexual harassment. Biden's first run for president collapsed in 1987 after he acknowledged plagiarizing material from speeches delivered by British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock. Shortly thereafter, Biden underwent several surgeries for life-threatening brain aneurysms that kept him out of the Senate for seven months. He ran again for the Democratic nomination in 2008, getting off to a rough start when he was forced to explain his description of Obama as "clean" and "articulate" on day one of his campaign. Biden dropped out of the race early after a poor showing in the Iowa caucuses. But his sharp, witty performances in several nationally televised debates drew the notice of Barack Obama's team in the search for a running mate. In Biden, the president-elect's aides believe they have found the right combination of legislative leadership and everyman appeal that will help to move Obama's plans on Capitol Hill and in the public square. "Joe Biden has served under seven administrations. He's seen what works and what doesn't work -- that's the value of having him," Obama's senior adviser David Axelrod said. "He brings a wealth of experience not just on issues of substance but also how to best get things done." Biden doesn't think much of the way Dick Cheney handled the vice presidency. On a procedural level, he has vowed not to blur the lines between the executive and legislative branches the way his predecessor sometimes seemed to. Cheney was a frequent presence at weekly Senate GOP conference meetings and had an office just off the House floor, all part of the unusual level of political independence he maintained under President George W. Bush. Both Biden and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., have agreed that Biden will not attend the weekly Democratic caucus meetings. On broader issues, Biden regularly denounced Cheney on the campaign trail, calling him the most dangerous vice president in history. And in interviews since the election, he has continued to criticize Cheney for his handling of the job. "I think the recommendations, the advice that he has given to President Bush ... has been not healthy for our foreign policy, not healthy for our national security, and it has not been consistent with our Constitution, in my view," Biden said on ABC's "This Week." Cheney recently snapped back at Biden's criticism. "If he wants to diminish the office of the vice president, that's obviously his call," the vice president told Fox News. Biden has characterized his new role as one of presidential counselor, there to advise Obama on a broad portfolio of issues. He did have certain requirements for the job that he shared with Obama early on. "I want a commitment from you that in every important decision you'll make, every critical decision, economic and political as well as foreign policy, I'll get to be in the room," Biden said he told Obama. So far, the president-elect is said to have made good on the promise, consulting Biden on his Cabinet choices and seeking his input in crafting a nearly trillion-dollar economic stimulus package. Axelrod declined to say whether Obama had openly rejected the Cheney vice presidential model when choosing Biden as his running mate, but he said the president-elect had a strong view on how the job should work. "There was a recognition that there's a president and a vice president and the president sets the direction of the administration," Axelrod said. "The vice president can influence that in his discussions. Once set, the job of vice president is to help execute that." Obama also has asked Biden to chair a newly created task force aimed at making sure the administration's economic policies would benefit the middle class. After decades of a well-established routine in Washington and Delaware, Biden's life is set to change dramatically. Besides leaving the Senate, he and his wife are preparing to move from Wilmington into the vice presidential mansion at the Naval Observatory in Washington. Jill Biden has said she hopes to continue teaching, in the Washington area. The Bidens are said to look forward to living close to their 38-year old son Hunter, a Washington lawyer, and his family. The Bidens' 39-year old son, Beau, Delaware's attorney general, is on a yearlong tour of Iraq as part of the state's National Guard and is expected to run for his father's Senate seat when he returns. Daughter Ashley, 27, is a social worker in Delaware. After Biden's career as his own boss, some of his friends have wondered how he will adjust to a supporting role. Aides say he's handling it well and has willingly relinquished the independence of his old life for the influence his new job confers. "I think he's completely at peace and very enthusiastic about the possibilities," said John Marttila, a friend and political consultant who has worked with Biden since his first Senate race in 1972. Marttila said he initially thought Biden was better suited to be secretary of state. But it didn't take long to change his mind. "I wasn't one of the voices who said 'vice president's the right place for you.' But I was persuaded on the merits that this was a more important use of his skills," Marttila said. "What people don't fully get is what a good politician this guy is. It's going to be so important as we move into these colossally difficult times." Associated Press Writer Nancy Benac in Washington contributed to this report.

It has already been almost a month since Android 5.0 Lollipop update has been rolled out for the Samsung Galaxy S5 yet there are still hundreds of emails we are receiving each day related to the new firmware. Still, the most common issues are fast battery drain, constant dropping of WiFi, Google Now problem if Home button is hit. These problems have been addressed in this post, so if you previously contacted us about one of them, try to read through to find out the solution.
If you have issues with your Galaxy S5 after the most anticipated Lollipop update, feel free to share them with us via [email protected]. Don't forget to include all necessary details so that we can accurately assess your issues and provide you appropriate solutions. You may also visit our Galaxy S5 Troubleshooting page or post on our Facebook wall and/or Google+ page.
Galaxy S5 Battery Drains Faster After Lollipop Update
Problem: I am having some seemingly common issues with my s5 since updating to Lollipop. My battery drains really quick…ie: from 100% to 93% in 10 minutes and all I'm doing is scrolling through my browsers for info on this. Also, no WiFi issues yet (knock on wood) but my data has been switching from 3g to 4G and back then 1x? A major issue is Facebook and Messenger for Facebook crash unexpectedly and Google Chrome stopped responding. I have cleared all cache, removed extra photos for room, power cycled the phone. I am skeptical of a factory reset but will if need be? Any ideas would be great as well. Thank you. — Erika
Troubleshooting: Hi Erika! We really couldn't know for sure what's causing the fast battery drain but we can observe. To do that, try to boot your phone in safe mode first:
- Turn the device off.
- Press and hold the Power key.
- When 'Samsung Galaxy S5' appears on the screen, release the Power key.
- Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
- Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
- Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
With the phone in safe mode, try to observe how fast it drains its battery. If the pace is almost the same as when it's in normal mode, the problem might be caused by the frequent switch in signal reception. The thing about this is that it's difficult to know if it's a network problem or an issue with your phone. Calling tech support may give you a little insight as to what's happening but don't expect your provider to admit its network has issues.
Secondly, while the phone is in safe mode, observe Google Chrome, Facebook and its Messenger if they still crash. If they do, the firmware may be at fault here and perhaps it's also the reason why the device constantly switches between 3G and 4G. Factory reset is the most viable troubleshooting procedure to do, however, if it, too, couldn't fix these problems, firmware re-flash may be necessary but your provider's techs should be the one to do it, or Samsung', so as to avoid having the warranty voided.
Galaxy S5 Having Trouble Receiving Text From One Contact
Problem: I am having trouble receiving texts from one contact. I checked my blocking app, and setting and its turned off. I have also taken out my battery. Still not working. Any ideas? Thanks. — Kristen
Troubleshooting: Honestly, I don't know your phones setup but I take your word for it that the number wasn't included in your blocking list. We can go through all hassles of troubleshooting this issue but it's not worth it. The most viable procedure I want you to do right now is to recreate that specific contact.
Write down all information you have about the contact and then delete it from the phone and from the account it's synced with. Then, simply add a new account and enter all previous information. This may just fix the problem.
Galaxy S5 Can't Stay Online Long Enough To Download An App
Problem: Hi, after sucking up all our data in a couple weeks, I turned off just about every single background running app I could see that was shown under "data usage." Data was once again under control. But… I do need/want to go online once in a while, and I wanted to download Instagram (not sure if it is worth it), and I cannot stay online for more than a few seconds before it goes back to my homescreen. I did find a site to download Instagram without using googleplay or itunes, but I can't stay on the site long enough to download it. So, what apps MUST I run, and for what purpose? As far as I can tell, I have not had issues with anything I have wanted to do with the phone… except get and stay online now. Thanks, Dachia.
Troubleshooting: If this problem occurred shortly after you've disabled apps sucking your data, then there must have been an app that messed things up for you and honestly, I don't have any idea what it is. The most logical thing to do for now, if it were the case, is to enable those apps back.
In case the apps you disabled have nothing to do with it, then it's a firmware issue. The mobile data cache may have been corrupted or something. To address this problem, you need to just wipe the cache partition so the phone will be forced to create new files for core services.
Wipe Cache Partition
- Turn off the device.
- Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key.
- When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
- When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
- Press the Volume Down key to highlight 'wipe cache partition.'
- Press the Power key to select.
- When the wipe cache partition is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
If the procedure didn't work, you have no other option but to perform a full hard reset. This will reset everything to their factory defaults. However, you need to backup all your data before you do it because they will all be deleted.
Full Hard Reset
- Turn off the device.
- Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key.
- When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
- When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
- Press the Volume down key several times key to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset.'
- Press Power button to select.
- Press the Volume down key until 'Yes — delete all user data' is highlighted.
- Press Power button to select and start the master reset.
- When the master reset is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
Galaxy S5 Contacts Lack Mailing Information
Problem: I transferred my contacts from my old phone to a Galaxy S5. Phone numbers transferred but none of the mailing addresses moved over into my new contacts.
More so, there doesn't appear to be a section for mailing addresses in any of my transferred contacts.
I can do it for new contacts but I can't find the old information nor can I edit existing contacts. Where did the information go? Can you help? Thanks, PFJO.
Troubleshooting: I really don't know what kind of phone your "old phone" was but it seems like there's a little problem with the formatting of the contact information. It means that the old phone may be following a different kind of formatting which your new phone can't decode that is why there are some information lacking.
I suggest you try to export the contacts using standard format like .vcf and import the file into your Galaxy S5. Or, you can just sync your old phone to the Google account you're using with your S5 if possible.
Galaxy S5 Can't Delete Photos From Gallery
Problem: When I pull up a photo, there is no delete (trash-can) icon. When I go to the … option to delete, it says the items I check will be deleted but they remain in the gallery. How can I delete them? Please help me. — Dave
Troubleshooting: Only photos saved somewhere else couldn't be deleted especially if accounts remained synced with the phone. For example, Facebook photos that appear in the Gallery may not be deleted locally simply because they were saved in the cloud. If you don't want these photos to appear in the gallery, you can un-sync your account and clear the cache and data or delete them through your Facebook account. That is the reason why the dust bin won't appear.
If it happened, however, that the picture was saved locally yet the dust bin won't appear even if it was properly selected and ready to be deleted, then don't rely on the Gallery app. Instead, go to the directory or folder where the picture was saved and delete it from there. Remember that the Gallery app is a multimedia manager only, it will display all pictures it can successfully detect either locally or those that are saved in the cloud.
Chrome No Longer Allows Saving Of Images
Problem: Hi I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5. All was fine but now For some reason, I suddenly can't save images from my Chrome browser anymore. It was working just fine one minute and not the next. Here is what happens:
1) Browse website with downloadable images (i.e., Fail Blog). – under normal circumstances, if I want to save an image, I just choose "Save Image" from the pop-up menu that displays when I press and hold on a picture. It should normally automatically start the download and save it with no further action.
2) Now what is happening, is that when I bring up the menu for an image in the browser and click on "Save Image", it a new pop-up menu called "Choose an action" is displayed. This menu lists the following selectable actions:
- Android System
- Camcorder
- Sound Recorder
3) None of the actions allows me to download/save the image and I shouldn't be prompted with this menu in the first place.
4) I've rebooted my phone, but unfortunately, that did not solve the issue. I haven't installed any new application during that time or changed any phone settings. As I described earlier, it was working fine an hour before and now this.
Any ideas and comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. — Andrea
Troubleshooting: Hi Andrea, if it happened out of the blue without apparent reason, then it probably just a glitch. But since rebooting didn't solve the problem, then try a different remember–reset the app to its default settings. You can do so by clearing both its cache and data.
- From any Home screen, tap Apps.
- Tap Settings.
- Scroll to 'APPLICATIONS,' then tap Application manager.
- Swipe right to the DOWNLOADED screen.
- Scroll to and tap Chrome.
- Tap Clear cache button.
- Tap Clear data button, then OK.
For minor glitches, this procedure may fix it. If, however, the issue persisted after clearing both the cache and the data, then it's time you uninstalled the app (yes, Chrome can be uninstalled because it's considered third-party) and download a fresh copy from the Play Store.
Galaxy S5 Can't Receive Emails When Connected To WiFi
Problem: Hi, could you please help? Last night I updated my Samsung S5 and now my emails don't receive if I'm in a wifi area, as soon as I go out of one they all come in. Thanks. — David
Troubleshooting: David, it means that your phone cannot get good internet connection if connected to a WiFi network. So, the first thing you should do is troubleshoot your WiFi network if possible. If not, try connecting to other networks to see if your phone can still have a decent connection using WiFi. It's obvious, though, that your phone can connect successfully to mobile data networks. That's the reason why emails come in whenever you're outside WiFi hotspot.
You may also delete all detected WiFi networks and let the phone scan for them, then reconnect.
Download Galaxy S5 Back To KitKat
Question: Good morning Gentlemen, I have just recently upgraded my T-mobile S5 to Lollipop and I am having all sort of issues from the wallpaper suddenly disappearing, the battery not lasting as long as it used to, my MMS messages not downloading and the phone simply crashing. I was unable to find all the different part of you wrote talking about all the problems and glitches from Lollipop. At this point I am thinking of downgrading back to Kitkat. Is that even possible?
Thank you for your help — Mr. Dovelle
Answer: Mr. Dovelle, it's possible that you roll back to the previous version of Android, however, the process would have to be manual. Meaning, you will download the previous firmware and install it to your phone using a flashing tool and in so doing, you will void the warranty during the process. Since you are having multiple problems with your phone after the update, I would simply suggest you backup your data and perform full hard reset instead of rolling back to KitKat; it's easier and safer.
Full Hard Reset
- Turn off the device.
- Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key.
- When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
- When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
- Press the Volume down key several times key to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset.'
- Press Power button to select.
- Press the Volume down key until 'Yes — delete all user data' is highlighted.
- Press Power button to select and start the master reset.
- When the master reset is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
Multiple Service Issues With Galaxy S5 After Lollipop
Problems: Hello, I just recently updated my galaxy S5 to the lollipop 5.0 and have found some really frustrating bugs that need to be fixed please. First when I try to update the weather on my phone through the weather widget, it keeps saying service not available right now even though my GPS is on and I have 4 bars of service. Second, when I turn music say through Pandora Internet Radio the phone will randomly stop in the middle of a song and I have to skip it and this happens about 4 or 5 times in a row. Lastly, I don't know what could be the source of this but my phone loses so much power between the time I wale up and fall asleep, I literally have no apps or other things running during the day because im in school. I honestly don't understand how that could happen. I just woke up 15 minutes ago and my phone was at 100% and now at 93% and I have been on my phone just for this email message. What gives? Please fix these bugs it's really really annoying when yor supposed smart phone doesn't work… more like dumb phone at this point. Thank you. — James
Troubleshooting: Apparently the recent update messed up some of the services, so the first thing I want you to try is to wipe the cache partition to rule out the possibility that it's just a cache-related issue.
Wipe Cache Partition
- Turn off the device.
- Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key.
- When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
- When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
- Press the Volume Down key to highlight 'wipe cache partition.'
- Press the Power key to select.
- When the wipe cache partition is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
The next thing you need to do is the problems persisted after wiping the cache partition is to uninstall the third-party apps that have issues and download fresh copies from the Play Store but don't forget to clear both the cache and the data first.
About the battery issue, try to check if the phone keeps switching between WiFi and mobile data networks. If so, try to uncheck the Smart Network Switch option or simply disable mobile data. And if the problem persists, factory reset is the most viable procedure.
Galaxy S5 Contacts Problem After Lollipop Update
Problem: Hello! Thank you for this website. It's been really useful. I need help. My Samsung S5 firmware was upgraded to Lollipop few days. I've resolved other bug issues, but I can't find a solution to my missing contact list. When I go to Contacts, all names and numbers are still there. However only numbers, no names, appear when:
– there are incoming calls.
– text messages
– call logs
And these are numbers already in my Contact list. Really need your expertise with this very annoying issue. I no longer know who's calling! Thanks a mill! Warm regards, Diana.
Troubleshooting: Contacts won't display the basic information even if they're already saved in the phone if there are duplicates. So, either you delete those duplicates or just merge them
Galaxy S5 Creates Buzzing Sound
Problem: Hey droid guy. The problem with my S5 is that anytime I tap the screen or turn the screen on/off, I get static sounds buzzing throughout the phone. The only time it doesn't seem to do that is when I'm typing. It's really weird when I'm out in public using my phone and static is just buzzing really loud. Can you help me with my problem? — Miles
Troubleshooting: Try to check the Liquid Damage Indicator (LDI) to see if the phone suffered from liquid damage. If so, then that's the reason why it's making the buzzing sound. General cleanup is necessary to get this problem fixed. However, if the phone hasn't been damaged by liquid, the speaker might be to blame. Since it's a hardware issue, I suggest you have a tech take a look at it.
Home Button Pulls Up Google Now After Lollipop
Problem: Hello, ever since I updated my S5 to Lollipop when I touch the home button it takes me to the Google Now Screen. The only way I can get off this screen is by touching the multi app button and closing out all of the apps. Is there anyway you can help me with this issue? Thanks in advance. — Diamond
Troubleshooting: Soft reset is necessary to fix this issue. Just remove it's battery and press and hold the power key for a minute. Place the battery back in and Google Now issue should be fixed after this.

I, Us, & We – Idol Remixes + LA Show!
Temecula, CA-based indie/electronic band I, Us, & We has been making a lot of noise lately in the So-Cal region. The trio, consisting of brothers Jordan, Evan, and Aaron Doverspike, melds together gleaming synths with spacious drum programing and sensual three-part vocal harmonies; recommended if you're a fan of Bon Iver, M83, and Miguel.
Their latest single "Idol" has received airplay on both KCRW and KEXP, and has already racked up some impressive streaming numbers on Spotify. The band recently followed up on the single with a 2 song-remix pack featuring synth-wave producer Vogel and goth-industrial artist KANGA. Vogel's remix takes the original on from a dark slow-mo house angle, creating a perfect soundtrack for a late night drive. KANGA's remix channels pure Trent Reznor, circa Pretty Hate Machine, and it's a real dark beauty of a track. You can listen to both remixes below.
We will be following up their recent Echo Park Rising performance with a show at The Peppermint Club in West Hollywood this Friday night. 1045p show. $10 cover. We highly recommend you check their live show out.

What did Leonardo da Vinci Look like?
|This is thought to be a self portrait he included in the lower right hand corner of "Adoration of the Magi"
Leonardo da Vinci was born in a town called Vinci in 1452. He left behind thousands of pages of journals and hundreds if not thousands of works of art. He was obsessed with mirrors and painted more portraits than anything else (that we know of) so it's been sort of a mystery as to what he really looked like. Why aren't there more, if any, obvious portraits of himself?
Almost every artist, especially painters, and even more so - painters who paint portraits paint themselves a lot. If you have the urge to start painting, and there is no one around - you are always there. I know personally that I have more pictures of myself than anything else. Why? Cause i'm there, all the time.
I would imagine that Leonardo painted himself, a lot. I would go so far as to say he was his own greatest subject. He was obsessed with mirrors, he painted a lot, he wasn't always around a lot of people, and getting people to stay still for long amounts of time is very difficult. When you are looking in a mirror, and painting, you have a subject that will pose for you for as long as you can paint. I would think that in the same way that I taught myself to take portraits, by taking self portraits, da Vinci used his own reflection to do the same.
The logic is sound, but the evidence is evidently lacking. There is really only one sketch that is considered to be a self portrait, and that was in 1516ish when he was already old. Even this sketch is slightly controversial, although I am confident it was by his hand and his face. There is something magic about it and it is one of my favorite images of all time.
|The Mona Lisa and Leo's Self portrait combined.
Second: The seemingly random dots and lines are not as random as they appear. When you apply the mirroring technique to it, they align and create other images. The full explanation will be in my book but the amount of talent and technique required to achieve this is immense. Keep in mind Leonardo is considered the greatest genius who has ever lived, so you could only imagine how intellectually immense he would make his self portrait. Especially after he spent his life perfecting his technique.
Getting back to what he really looked like, as he would look in a photograph. We are left surprisingly vague. Like I said before there is a huge chance he painted himself many many times. But! We really don't have any clear cut idea of what he looked like. He was such an amazing painter that if he were to paint himself it would almost appear to be more photographic than artistic. But there are no painted self portraits. Why? What did he look like?
|This is suppose to be of Leonardo. Who made it? Did da Vinci pose for it?
I've been researching da Vinci for over 6 years now. I've seen most of his sketches, all of his paintings, and read his bioraphies. During this time I've developed an image of him in my mind. Its based off the images that might be self portraits and my own imagination. Obviously his appearance would vary from year to year and most people imagine him as an old and balding professor. But like everyone else in the world, at one point, in his prime. He probably had a 6pack, he dressed nice, he could sing, play music, and was a party planner for royalty. He wasn't always an old man!
|This is "Alex Karev" From Grey's Anatomy played by Justin Chambers

Newsweek: Bible OK with Same-sex 'Marriage' - Dec 2008
"Newsweek's religion editor has written a story suggesting there's no biblical prohibition against homosexual "marriage" and actually quite a bit of scripture that supports it."
It seems like there a lot of striving going on in all areas of life to bring society to reflect the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, just before they were destroyed. When the Bible "says" that homosexuality is OK, won't the whole world go with it? What a great perversion has Satan devised and how many people who are in darkness fall for it. May God help us and keep us awake and ever watchful. Amen

Molecular evolution of the SARS coronavirus
Search Medline for
|May 26, 2004
Molecular epidemiology is becoming an effective tool to study the evolution of novel infectious agents causing emerging diseases [Ref. 1] as well as to search their natural origins [Ref. 2]. The foresight in saving specimens from the critical early stages of the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the analysis of epidemiology at the molecular level enabled us to reveal the strong adaptive selection pressures initially influencing the SARS-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) genome during the 2002/2003 epidemic until a stable genotype that evolved to predominate during the latter part of the episode. Genotypes characteristic of each of the early, middle, and late phases of the epidemic were discovered, and the earliest genotypes were similar to those for the animal SARS-like coronaviruses (SARS-like CoV). Major deletions were observed in the Orf8 region of the genome, both at the start and the end of the epidemic. The neutral mutation rate of the viral genome was constant but the amino acid substitution rate of the coding sequences slowed during the course of the epidemic. The spike protein showed the strongest initial responses to positive selection pressures, followed by subsequent purifying selection and eventual stabilization [Ref. 3]. The genomic sequences of both the human SARS-CoV and the palm civet SARS-like CoV isolated during the winter of 2003/2004 were further analyzed together with their epidemiological information and clinical features, which not only confirmed the animal origin of this disease episode but also provided new insight for the future in-depth study of the viral molecular evolution along the course of its host-switch.

AT ITS HEART MOST theology, like most fiction, is essentially autobiography. Aquinas, Calvin, Barth, Tillich, working out their systems in their own ways and in their own language, are all telling us the stories of their lives, and if you press them far enough, even at their most cerebral and forbidding, you find an experience of flesh and blood, a human face smiling or frowning or weeping or covering its eyes before something that happened once. What happened once may be no more than a child falling sick, a thunderstorm, a dream, and yet it made for the face and inside the face a difference which no theology can ever entirely convey or entirely conceal. But for the theologian, it would seem, what happened once, the experience of flesh and blood that may lie at the root of the idea, never appears substantial enough to verify the idea, or at least by his nature the theologian chooses to set forth the idea in another language and to argue for its validity on another basis, and thus between the idea and the experience a great deal intervenes. But there is another class of men—at their best they are poets, at their worst artful dodgers—for whom the idea and the experience, the idea and the image, remain inseparable, and it is somewhere in this class that I belong. That is to say, I cannot talk about God or sin or grace, for example, without at the same time talking about those parts of my own experience where these ideas became compelling and real.

Selling online is a little bit different than selling person to person. You don't really know how your work will be received. Will the customer like it when it arrives? Maybe it looked good in the pictures but doesn't cut it when it gets there?
I was little nervous about my first Etsy sale, but the feedback I got just blew me away.
Here it is:
I had such a great experience purchasing my painting with Azra! She was able to give me good feedback to my questions prior to purchase, got my painting to me in no time, and added personal touches that made it even more fun. I have displayed her artwork in my business (Waterfall Day Spa) and I am looking forward to purchasing more. I have 3 locations that need artwork and I am always looking for creative new energy to surround my spaces. Thank you Azra and Thank you Etsy!
Wow! Thank YOU, Sara.
This is what she bought:

Arriving on the Mount, they thrust Me on the ground, tearing off Me My clothes, leaving Me naked for every eye to see Me; My wounds, opening again, and My Blood flowing out on the earth. The soldiers offered Me wine mixed with gall. I refused it, for deep inside Me, I had already the bitterness given to Me by My foes. (November 9th, 1986)
Your clothes, My child, will roll in your blood, and this too will be the evidence that you come from Me. You were born for this and your acceptance delights Me because through your sufferings I will save many: (October 25th, 1995)
