Chicago Street and Candid Photos, Fall 2013
5 Monochrome Photos in This Gallery
Just a few photos here from my foray downtown to the Art Institute on a cold, overcast day.
Walk Down Any Street
6 Photos in This Gallery
Do you ever walk down the street in an upper class neighborhood and wonder what goes on inside the beautiful homes? Well, this isn't just any street or collection of streets. It is the Frank Lloyd Wright historic district in Oak Park, IL. Most of the famous homes are on Forest Avenue, just south of Chicago Avenue. The homes not designed by Wright make better photographic subjects because the famous ones have been photographed a zillion times. There was good weather, fall colors and decorations for Halloween in place on some of the homes.
The Brookfield Zoo

Some of these photo don't look like they were made at a zoo, and most are about water. What do expect from me? The final 5 photos were shot at the Chicago Botanical Gardens the next day. Both the Tree of Life and Lilly Pads were nominated for an award at Nikongear forum, but did not win.

Fall in Chicago

The weatherman said we were getting the last mild fall weather. Indeed, the skies became overcast and it started to rain, although it did not get cold. Nothing unusual about this trip for me, although I really did enjoy the Chicago Art Institute and its many famous paintings. Its location is convenient, just across from Millennium park and the famous reflecting Bean sculpture. The park was full of fall colors, of course. After many visits to Chicago I reached the point that I did not feel like a tourist anymore. Then, my reasons for going there moved on. Since some have asked, I did not buy a wig.

Discussion in 'Landscape & Cityscape' started by Boden, Sep 25, 2007.
C&C welcome!
I like the oil effect in no.1, although there is WAY to much darkness for my taste, it's all very distracting.
1 is amazing, but the foreground is too dark. It needs more post-production.
Yea - 1 & 2 are too dark but I think it works for the third.
3rd for me too. The sky in the 2nd shot is very nice tho
Thanks everyone. I didn't really touch the third one much, and it's the one I like best. Now that I look at the second one again I think the sky looks way over the top. The first one I like, but I agree about it being dark. Underexposed it to begin with unfortunately.

I never joined the Fall.
I've never wanted to join the Fall. Mark E Smith's reputation as a cantankerous, belligerent ringmaster precedes him. Yes, he's thoroughly entertaining and a scoundrel, but he's also far too demanding, way above and beyond the call of duty. I'm a Fall fan, not an obsessive.
I fall into the right category: male, white, and over 40 (journalists, in particular, love this band as there's so much they can pick apart). I've always thought that the Fall peaked in 1983 (coincidentally, when manager Kay Carroll ran out on them) – same as David Bowie believes – but there were a couple of storming returns to form at the start of the 90s (see 1992's scathing Code: Selfish), and in 2005 with Fall Heads Roll.
I'm not particularly familiar with band-members either. Er, off the top of my head: Scanlon, Karl Burns, Riley, Blue Orchids founder Martin Bramah, Una Baines, alt-fashion icon Brix Smith, Hanley, Yvonne Pawlett, Julia Nagle perhaps … certainly not all the 43-plus "musicians" that have served time with the Fall during their 30-year history. As Mark E Smith once put it: "If it's me and yer granny on bongos, it's the Fall." Who cares who's creating the music, as long as it's there? I mean, really.
The Fall are a band I return to time and time again (a cursory glance at my iTunes reveals 554 songs – and that's not including the vinyl), but not in female company. Women, curiously, don't seem to appreciate the compiling Top 10 lists/football fan/Pitchfork-reader side of being a Fall fan. Yet I've never wanted to discover more about the personalities behind the sound, not even Mark E Smith's. My curiosity is sated by the music alone - brilliantly spasmodic, anti-melodic, grating, and sometimes, pure pop. I hardly ever listen to lyrics, even when they're created by the most lyrical of iconoclasts. I hook on to the odd line, like I do with the Ramones, Shangri-La's and the Spice Girls. I appreciate the timbre and rhythm of Mark E Smith's voice.
1979's Live at the Witch Trials may well be the first album I purchased (I was so naïve I believed it must have taken years to achieve such a fluid, rich sound), and I still reckon Witch Trials to be of my favourite three albums … um, when I want to grade music like a Pitchfork nerd, which is rare.
I never wanted to see the Fall play live that much – I saw them a handful of times at the start of the 80s, but only because mighty US female trio Ut played support. Maybe I was scared they could only disappoint in the same way that penalty shootouts do, even when I don't care for the teams (which is always). I've heard Mark E Smith likes a drink. Heard he likes a fight. Heard he likes to unsettle. All of these are mighty great things to like, of course, but why the need to live vicariously? I have my own secret identity.
I'm reminded of all this by a recent book about the Fall by Guardian critic Dave Simpson, The Fallen (Searching for the Missing Members of the Fall), a great book - a fucking amazingly great book - that starts off in normality and quickly spirals into the nightmarish and extraordinary, as Simpson goes in search of every former member of the Fall. It's a simple but excellent concept for a book, and one that Simpson – to his credit as an author, but perhaps not to his advantage as a human being – doesn't back down from pursuing to the bitter end.
My theory is that a Fall obsessive is a perfectly decent human being who uses the band to introduce a degree of the extraordinary into his life. He looks on with envy at Mark E Smith's renowned manipulative skills and wishes he could be the same. He looks on with jealousy at the stage(d) fights, the alcohol and drug use, and wishes it could transfer without effort. Sometimes it does. That's the nature of desire. But be very careful what you wish for – it may come true, as Simpson discovers to his cost.
The Fallen is a salutary tale in how not to go about being a rock star, being an author, and finding a band to cherish. It is absolutely brilliant. It has made me race back to all 554 Fall songs and put them on repeat as I, too, fall once more in thrall to the oblique, contrary charm of Mark E Smith and his band of undervalued troubadours.

After laboring for most of the morning, I decided to brave the blistering heat and accompany Porter on a little stroll in the name of her new, delightful polaroid project. On the way up Broadway, we stumbled upon a treasure trove, Luddite, a brand new store, selling well aged things. Perfect things, actually. I picked up an absolutely wonderful gladstone/doctor's bag with incredible brass hardware (will show that off next!).

Slovenia: Communist Hangover, Cured
By Bruce Northam
Visiting Slovenia—their 90's Western Balkans war behind them—revealed a dynamic region less dangerous than a double-edged daffodil … a welcome wind of change.
The Western Balkan's state personalities were defined long before they were bound together by Tito's version of Yugoslavia for 50 years. Since 1991, they've redefined themselves once again. The intense cultural microclimates huddled into a mountainous, sea-hugging peninsula now celebrate their common bonds while remembering their differences.
Beauty and history lure tourists as most of the people living in these old new countries speak excellent English—a feat less familiar in neighboring across the Adriatic Sea Italy. Many Romance (Roman) language speakers tend to remain, let's say, unromantic about wholly tackling the English language.
Because of Slav migrations peaking in the 7th century, their individual Slavic language accents all sound Russian, using a mix of the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets—though very few understand the Russian language.
Although a radically polarizing figure, the former dictator Tito relished dogs and John Wayne movies and entertained many popular personalities including Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Sofia Loren, and Orson Wells.
While his brand of Communism influenced Yugoslavia, it never tethered the country to Moscow. Today, despite suffering the economic downturn wounding many parts of the world, the region is once again ready to embrace freedom now that the political storm has finally blown out.
The other former Yugoslavian states have always viewed Slovenians as stubborn, hard-working mountain folks, and indeed, they were an important manufacturing engine for that regime. Separated only by an arm of the Alps from neighboring Austria, mostly Roman Catholic Slovenia shares the Germanic appetite for efficiency, mountain sports, and a more Western European view of the world. Although some detach Slovenia from the Western Balkans, it is indisputably Slavic. It's amazing what a difference a mountain range makes. Water melting in these snow and ice-encrusted Alps flows from its taps. This is a healthy place.
Sometimes a tentative cab ride is our first introduction to new places. I relished the easy stroll from the Rail Europe station into the heart of its Baroque capital city, the historic geographic crossroads of Germanic, Latin, and Slavic cultures.
(Quick tutorial: Slovenia's mountain-encircled capital, Ljubljana, is pronounced Youb-Blee-Ahna.) Curving, cobbled medieval streets converted into pedestrian-only walkways are lined with inviting restaurants and shops and open-air nightlife buzzes along the canal bisecting the pleasing, non-intimidating city-town. It reminded me of Newport, Rhode Island, minus the ocean and yacht snobs.
Ljubljana castle looms over the old city while a dragon, the city's symbol, graces its flag. In medieval times people thought that marsh fog was dragon breath. Today, Jagermeister induces spiced dragon breath.
A short train ride northwest into denser forest, Bled (say 'blate,' and you're fine), a glacial lakeside town with many waterside dining options, celebrates the breeze flowing from its 'Julian Alps.' The Alps soar west to east from Monaco, visit eight countries, and terminate in Slovenia.
Bled celebrated Sedona-style energy vortexes long before the first hippie landed in Arizona. Always barefoot, relocated Swiss Naturopath Arnold Rikli pioneered Bled's vegan and spa movement in the later 19th century. By discovering Bled's healing center, he attracted aristocrats from around the world to come here and heal. Some see him as the grandfather of spa health resorts.
Bled Castle
Climate-friendly Bled's foremost attraction, medieval Bled Castle, has towered over the lake-centered town for 1,000 years. Also majestic, the nearby mid-lake church of St. Mary is the proverbial island unto itself. Visitors are encouraged to ring the immense church bells while making a wish. Downside: the iconic bells clang all day long. Upside: people truly enjoy wishing for something while tugging on something.
Ninety-nine steps rise from the water's edge to this idolized church. Local wedding tradition requires grooms to carry new brides up these steps during which the bride must remain silent (for the last time!).
Bled, oddly, was once the sister city of Benbrooke, Texas until the Texans recoiled. One can only wonder why—Bled has way more in common with Lake Placid, NY. However, the leftover 1980 Olympic event relics in Lake Placid, N.Y. can't compare with Bled's summertime mountainside toboggan 'bob' ride, the Funbob. One of its steep ski slopes is refitted with a serpentine track allowing mini tobogans to bolt down the mountain giving pilots a whiplash-speed adrenaline rush.
Parks & Scenery
Nearby, the perfectly isolated Bohinj ('bow hin') area is second to none for all summer and winter sports. Also known as Triglav National Park, Bohinj is the Balkan's Yosemite, a flattened u-shaped basin and lake encircled by glacier-torn Slovenian Alps. Hemingway served as a medic on this Alps front during WWI.My highlights were treks in the base of two deep gorges, one dry the other supporting a river with waterfalls.
The lesser known, dry Pokljuka Gorge teems with lush flora, enters several tunnels and earns a good sweat. Vintgar Gorge, far more popular, has a river coursing through it and spectacular cliff-hugging boardwalks that make the otherwise inaccessible canyon family friendly.
Bohinj, first populated in the Bronze Age, is an alpine winter sports paradise, not to mention an amazing warm weather hiking and mountain climbing destination. You do get away from it all here—they even speak a singular dialect. Myth suggests that conquering Turks retreated instead of invading Bohinj, because they saw it as the end of the world.
Slovenia became independent in 1991, joined the European Union in 2004, and adopted the Euro in 2007. When I visited in 2010, it seemed like an Old World Alps movie set fantasy…that I could afford. Slovenian architecture, scenery, and humanity won't disappoint. This proud, tiny, young independent republic is vastly photogenic.

|Skipjack model by Garry Cerrone
The modeling of the Skipjack "Virgil G. Dean" is now a work in progress in Garry Cerrone's Maryland studio. Preview with us the techniques used by Garry in constructing the handcrafted model of the "Virgil G. Dean" from beginning to end in three separate blogs. Section one: the hull, decking, rudder and rails.
ABOUT THIS MODEL: Garry's model of the Virgil G. Dean is being constructed from measurements taken originally by H.I.Chapelle in 1942. The Skipjack was built in Cambridge Maryland in 1897.
This vessel carried the bugeye rig of three sails on the dead-rise skipjack type hull. Originally the Dean had her cabin trunk forward and a sunken platform aft. The cabin trunk was moved aft when she had her freeboard raised by 6".
According to Chapelle many early oyster boats had unstayed masts until the advent of the powered dredge winders.
This boat in 1942 only had stay on her foremast. This model is made in the true style of the original deadrise boats. The style is called box construction and being hard chined with cross planked bottom does not require the framing of a round bilged vessel such as the Pungy. This made dead rise boats much more economical to build and maintain.
|Planking...A view of the hull receiving her deck planking of scale lumber made in my studio of Basswood. Photo by G. Cerrone
In making Garry's art models, he starts with larger pieces of wood which are planed and sawn to the scale dimensions. When using a conifer such as sugar pine or spruce, he looks for tight grained slow growth stock. A few years ago, Garry found several pieces of just such sugar pine that had aged in his father's garage for years. This is perfect for planking. His favorite wood, however, is Bass wood. Garry often starts with 5/4 rough dressed bass wood then milled to size. In some models he has used both pine and bass.
In the Virgil G. Dean bass wood is used extensively. One advantage of bass is that it can be made to look like rough weathered wood or a very smooth newly finished surface. If staining is required it takes color well because it does not contain a pitchy sap. The consistency of the wood also makes bass good for the lay up. In assembling his models, Garry often uses wood glue but this requires holding the pieces in place while the glue dries and cures. With such small pieces clamping is often the least efficient holding method so he uses small model railroad spikes to pin lumber in place while the glue works. When the glue has set the spike are removed. The grain consistency of bass makes spiking the mini-timbers less difficult.
Wood being a natural material is subject to changes in humidity. It swells when damp and shrinks when dry. To help keep this atmospheric variation from causing the planking to move a lot, Garry coats the inside of the hull with a marine epoxy which acts as a moisture stabilizer helping to keep checking to a minimum.
|The keel from the stern/upside down.
The two pictures above show the planking and the keel installed. Garry uses model railroad spikes for temporary holding until the glue dries. These models average about 300-400 pieces of scale framing and planking just in the basic hull. In the shot of the keel, the deck and all other planking has been sanded to a uniform surface.
|Here's a shot of the bow starting to take shape.
|Forward log rail being set in place. To attach the rail three types of glue are necessary. I use wood glue, epoxy and Acc depending on the requirements.
|View of the unshipped rudder.
|First shot of the Dean without most of the coming details.
|The aft rail and rudder in place.
|Shot of the Dean bow without most of the coming details.
In section two, Garry will focus on the application of the scale hardware such as windless, deadeyes,anchor, chain plates, dredging gear and the over a dozen blocks needed to complete the model of the Skipjack "Virgil C. Dean".

Subscribe To Why Pat Morita Had To Audition For Mr. Miyagi In The Karate Kid 5 Times Updates
The unquestionable star of The Karate Kid is Mr. Miyagi. The quiet repair man turned karate mentor steals the show with an endlessly quotable performance and it's hard to picture anyone else other than the late great Pat Morita in the iconic role... unless you were Jerry Weintraub in 1984. The producer just couldn't see Morita -- then known as a comedian -- for the heavy dramatic role and thus made him audition five separate times before he finally understood how perfect he was.
Pat Morita had to go through a lengthy audition process before he was finally given the role of Mr. Miyagi, a role that would boost The Karate Kid to the pop culture status it's enjoyed for some 33 years. Producer Jerry Weintraub didn't want Morita for the part, a comedian whose biggest credit at the time was a role on Happy Days. As Morita recalled to THR, Weintraub didn't think Morita was a good enough actor to be able to handle the heavy dramatic parts of Miyagi.
True, the story of Mr. Miyagi, an immigrant who fought against the Japanese in World War II and lost his wife and child due to birth complications in an American internment camp, is a deeply sad one that requires a great actor with dramatic chops. Luckily, director John Avildsen knew that Pat Morita was just the man for the job. He recorded him in a one-on-one interview and then played the tape in a meeting with Jerry Weintraub. Weintraub was impressed but not sold so they called Morita back four times: first by himself, then for a chemistry test with Ralph Macchio, then in costume in front of studio heads, and finally to film on a sound stage in costume.
It was a grueling process, but if The Karate Kid teaches us anything, it's how to triumph in seemingly impossible battles. After the final audition, Jerry Weintraub admitted just how wrong he had been about Pat Morita. The actor said:
And we're all the better for it! Pat Morita ended up being nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Mr. Miyagi and would go on to play the character in three more sequels. Some would argue that Miyagi is the secret main character of the series, as Community points out in a hilarious Season 6 episode with a community theater production of the film.

About God
How can we know anything about God? The only possible way is through His revelation to us. This is most appropriately communicated in the hymns for the Feast of Theophany:
"When Thou, O Lord wast baptized in the Jordan,
the worship of the Trinity was made manifest.
For the voice of the Father bare witness to Thee,
and called Thee His beloved Son.
And the Spirit, in the form of a dove,
confirmed the truthfulness of His word.
O Christ, our God who hast revealed Thyself,
and hast enlightened the world, glory to Thee!
One God in Three Persons
Orthodox Christians worship the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—the Holy Trinity, the one God. Following the Holy Scriptures and the Church Fathers, the Church believes that the Trinity is three divine persons who share one essence. It is paradoxical to believe thus, but it is how God has revealed himself. All three persons are consubstantial with each other, that is, they are of one essence and coeternal. There never was a time when any of the persons of the Trinity did not exist. God is beyond and before time and yet acts within time, moving and speaking within history.
God is not an impersonal essence or mere "higher power," but rather each of the divine persons relates to mankind personally. Neither is God a simple name for three gods (i.e., polytheism), but rather the Orthodox faith is monotheist and yet Trinitarian. The God of the Orthodox Christian Church is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the I AM who revealed himself to Moses in the burning bush.
God the Father
The Father (Abba) is the fountainhead (source) of the Holy Trinity, and the maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. God the Father created all things through the Son, in the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1 and 2; John 1:3; Job 33:4), and Orthodox Christians are called to worship Him (John 4:23). The Father loves us and sent His Son to give us everlasting life (John 3:16).
The scriptures reveal the one God is Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, eternally sharing the one divine nature. From the Father the Son is begotten before all ages and all time (Psalm 2:7; II Corinthians 11:31). It is also from the Father the Holy Spirit eternally proceeds (John 15:26). The Orthodox Church teaches that we come to know the Father through Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 11:27).
In the Old Testament the intimate name of Father was not used to address God in prayer. Only in Christ and because of Christ can Christians have such boldness. Only Christians can properly say the Lord's Prayer that was taught to them by the Son of God. Only those who have died and risen with Christ in baptism, and have received the power to become sons of God by the Holy Spirit in Chrismation are enabled to approach the Almighty God most high as their Father (John 1:12; Matthew 6:9; Romans 8:14; Galatians 4:4).
God the Son
The Son, Jesus Christ is the incarnate Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the only begotten Son of God, fully God and fully man, born in time of the Virgin Mary and begotten from before all time of God the Father. In the Bible, the Old Testament speaks of His incarnation (becoming man) and the Gospels and Epistles of the New Testament speak about His earthly life, death, and resurrection.
God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost is God, the third Person of the Holy Trinity, who, from eternity, "proceeds" from the Father (John 15:26). The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son. The word "Spirit" commonly translates the Greek New Testament word pneuma.
The Spirit dwells inside every true Christian, each one's body being his temple (1 Cor. 3:16). He is depicted as a 'Counselor' or 'Helper' (paraclete in Greek), guiding them in the way of the truth. The 'Fruit of the Spirit' (i.e. the result of his work) is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22). The Spirit is also believed to give gifts or charismas (i.e. abilities) to Christians.
It is the Holy Spirit whom Jesus mentioned as the promised "Comforter" (i.e. "strengthener", "fortifier") in John 14:26. After his resurrection, Christ told his disciples that they would be "baptized with the Holy Spirit", and would receive power from on high (Acts 1:4-8); this promise was fulfilled in the events recorded in the second chapter of Acts. At Pentecost, Jesus' disciples were gathered in Jerusalem when a mighty wind was heard and tongues of fire appeared over their heads. A multilingual crowd heard the disciples speaking, and each of them heard them speaking in his or her native language by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

After a long delay the decision on where Manitoba Hydro will constructs its transmission line from the north has been decided. It will go down the west side of the province rather than the east side. The fate for where the lines would go was probably decided during the election where Gary Doer said he would not run the line down the east side.
The decision to run the line down the west side will cost $400 million and be 50% longer in terms of the line. This will also bring added costs in terms of lost power to the tune of millions.
The east side can now only be reached by air or winter roads. In the past few years, those winter roads have not been around long enough to bring in supplies.
Some of the east side First Nations didn't want the transmission lines. Other First Nations wanted the lines but they also wanted part ownership of them. Hydro refused. Understandably, while some might be celebrating Hydro's decision to go the west, others are feeling bitter.
The issue of economic development on the easy side won't go away. A few winters of bad ice roads could put the communities there in a crisis situation. The Manitoba government could be on the hook for re-supplying by air for decades to come.

Historic Chapel Hill
Click here for all listings in Historic Chapel Hill
The Town of Chapel Hill has three local historic districts: Franklin/Rosemary Historic District, created by the Town Council in 1976; Cameron/McCauley Historic District, created by Town Council in 1990; and the Gimghoul Historic District, created in 1993.
Chapel Hill is a university town and while there are some beautiful older homes, most of the historic area homes are fairly simple compared to those in Southern towns that were formed because of business and manufacturing. Westwood is a campus area located off South Columbia Street near the UNC Hospital. It has winding streets and wooded lots with an eclectic collection of homes built from the 1920s up until today.
The area was first populated around 1793 when the building of the university first began. Over the years some homes built as early as the 1800s have sold in this area and are considered highly prized properties. The University of North Carolina is said to be one of the oldest public universities in the entire country.
The University Campus is large and residences are clustered all around the university. The town has a population that slightly exceeds 50,000 residents. The town has very much a college feel to it and encompasses approximately 21 square miles.
Historic Chapel Hill includes streets along Franklin Street. Franklin Street is one of the friendliest and busiest downtown streets in any town in North Carolina. Shops and restaurants abound in downtown Chapel Hill.

Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Stop Child Trafficking Now (SCT Now) is a non-profit 501(c)3 grassroots organization focused on shutting down the demand side of child sex trafficking.SCTNow exists to stop child trafficking by targeting the source of child trafficking: predators who drive the sex industry everywhere in the world, including in your local community. SCTNow has partnered with specially trained elite operatives familiar with what it takes to infiltrate, investigate and bring to justice the predators victimizing children worldwide.
The SCTNow mission involves a multi-phase plan to deploy hundreds of teams throughout the world.SCTNow is fully committed to funding this goal in our lifetime.
Stop Child Trafficking has chosen to fund a bold, new approach, one that addresses the demand side of child sex trafficking by targeting buyers/predators for prosecution and conviction.Most other organizations address child trafficking by performing rescue operations. SCTNow greatly supports their efforts, but believes for every child rescued another takes his or her place. Not until we stop the predators will we rid the world of trafficking. SCTNow's goal is to put predators behind bars and end the demand.
SCTNow will hold its flagship Walk this fall in New York City, with over 25 cities, including Pittsburgh, holding simultaneous events, rallying thousands who will raise money to fund operative teams.

Jolicloud Review? Stay tuned…
With some things going in my life at the moment I haven't had the time to work on a full review of the new Jolicloud desktop. So I've decided to hold off on a review until Jolicloud makes an official announcement on how they are going to update or replace Joli OS. In the meantime I highly recommend testing out the new Jolicloud desktop. It's a wonderful service to organize & keep up with all your cloud content. Be sure to use their new integrated feedback button to tell them what you think. You can use it for tech support, feature requests or just a simple hello or thank you. They really great with responding. Anyway, check back here after Jolicloud makes a new announcement.
Should I Do A New Jolicloud Review Now Or Later?
Ever since Jolicloud announced their new desktop back in October I've been contemplating doing a new extensive review. However, I was leery about doing a review on something that was still in development & changing daily. Plus, I wanted to wait until they released an updated version of Joli OS to go with the new desktop. But it's been almost 4 months since the new desktop release & it looks like development has stalled somewhat. Plus, there still hasn't be any indication if Joli OS will ever get updated. So I'm wondering if it would be a good time to go ahead & do the review? One major problem I have with doing it now is that seems Jolicloud has made a major change to their service in the past week with no announcement or indication if it's permanent or temporary. There have also been hints from Jolicloud on Facebook that another new unannounced product is coming. Could this be the new Joli OS? I don't think it is if the posts on Facebook are indicator. It might be a companion app similar to Jolicloud Me or it could be a refresh of the iOS & Android apps. Either way I'm at a crossroads & don't know how to proceed. I think Jolicloud needs some good press on a great product, but at the same time there are things that are not real flattering that could be fixed in future updates. So I don't want be premature with a review that could potentially make it look bad. But then again a lot of the outstanding issues I have with the new desktop have been forwarded to the team in the hundreds of suggestions, feedback & bug reports I've sent them over the past 4 months. So If after 4 months the issues haven't been fixed are they not fair game for criticism? Maybe so. I think I'm going let this post stew for a couple of days & see if it gets any attention from the public or Jolicloud themselves. If I don't get a response I think I will go ahead with a full review next week. Just hope I don't regret doing it.
Top 15 Wishlist Features for Jolicloud
I've been using Jolicloud over the past 6 months and I have totally enjoyed my time. But like my quest to find the ultimate Jolicloud computer, I decided to make a wishlist of improvements to make Jolicloud an even better OS & environment. Most of these have been discussed on the Jolicloud GetSatisfaction site the past couple of months, but I've decided to collect them all here in one place.
These items are in no particular order.
- Folders – It would be great to have the ability to create folders on the desktop to organize all your apps. One method that could be used is by dragging & dropping multiple icons on one icon like can be done in Apple's iOS.
- Text wrap for long icon names – Right now there's about 14 characters that are allowed in the app's name. After that it adds an ellipsis (…). Why not support wrapping the text to a second line? You can even support a pop-up tool-tip on hover.
- Transparent icons? – This is something I see a lot of complaints about. People don't understand that there are apps & icons that are only available when running Joli OS. It would be nice if something more noticeable could be laid over the local app icons to show that they can't be used when using the Jolicloud Chrome app or visiting My.Jolicloud.com.
- Better page navigation – Clicking on page numbers is OK, but it would be nicer to have arrows on the side of the desktop pages or the ability to click and drag pages. This would help out greatly for touch devices.
- Support more search engines – Right now you can search Jolicloud apps and friends or search Google. It would be great if you could customize your search bar to include search results from Bing, Dropbox, Wikipedia, Hulu, YouTube, Gmail, etc.
- Lighter color scheme – The dark color is great, but there are those out there that would rather have a lighter color scheme or something they can customize to fit their personality.
- Customize desktop grid – Saw this suggestion on Twitter(Thanks @BC3Tech). Would be nice to be able to choose how many rows & columns of icons you can have on your desktop. Two rows of 7 icons is fine for netbook displays, but desktops have lots more room.
- Creating custom web apps is to complicated – Custom web apps are basically bookmarks, but they are too complicated to make. Make it easier to create them from your browser by using some kind of plug-in or extension. While you're at it, support the Favicon by default. This way you don't have to go find your own, but can still use your own if you wish.
- Better custom web app maintenance – Once you've created your web app it would be nice to be able remove your custom web apps or edit it's URL.
- Expand the "About You" profile – Add fields to your profile for social networks like Facebook, Twitter or linkedIn. Also support hyper-linking so you can link your own web page or other favorite sites.
- More Badges!! – I love the Badges you can earn on your profile, but it would great to expand those. Have fun with it. Try making it a social game.
- Picture Login – It would be nice to display your profile picture on the login screen similar to Chrome OS.
- More File Browser features – It would be great to be able to stop using Nautilus altogether. Please add support for adding new folders & moving/copying files via right-click or drag/drop. It would also be great to be able to upload directly to the cloud storage sites like Dropbox or Google Docs in one click. You can do something similar with the Cloud Save extension found in the Chrome Store.
- HTML5 Media Player – It would be nice to have a standard media player to play your music, video or photos(slide show) online or off like Chrome OS. To see what can be done with HTML5 & MP3 files click here.
- More "Connections" – Right now they have 3 Connections: Facebook, Dropbox & Google Docs. It would be nice to open up support for these Connections to other sites. Other companies & web developers could add support for their own services to the File Browser. That way Jolicloud won't have to update it their-self. Just imagine being able to integrate whatever Cloud storage service to the File Browser like Amazon, Pogoplug, etc.
Those are my top suggestions for now. To see more or to let Jolicloud know about your own head over to the Jolicloud GetSatisfaction site. It's a great resource for every Jolicloud user!
Happy Joliclouding!
Tommy McClain
My Jolicloud Wishlist Coming Soon
Thought I would post a quick update on something I'm currently working on. With a supposed Joli OS 1.3 update coming & the retail launch of Google's Chromebooks coming up on June 15, I figure it would be nice to work on a wishlist of improvements & new features for what I want to see in future Jolicloud & Joli OS updates. I'm planning to have the article up sometime this week. In the mean time, if you have any ideas to make Jolicloud better, then post them in the comments section. I will try to highlight the best ones in my article. The future for Jolicloud looks bright!
Happy Joliclouding!
Tommy McClain
Quest for the Ultimate Jolicloud Computer
For the past four months I've been using a eMachine eM250 10″ netbook running Joli OS as my primary computer. During that time I came to love my Jolicloud experience, but there was always this feeling that I wanted something just a little bigger and faster. Isn't that always the problem with computers: you always want something better? Joli OS may work great on old & new hardware, but I knew that if I was going to continue using the OS for the long-term I would need to replace my netbook. And thus my quest to find the Ultimate Jolicloud Computer began!
GoogleDocs coming to Jolicloud
Yes, the web app is already in the App Center, but what's coming in an update for next week where GoogleDocs is integrated in the new HTML5 file browser. This will make 2 cloud storage services now available directly from the Jolicloud desktop.
Check out the new screenshot and Twitter messages from Tariq Krim…
"playing with the new feature of @jolicloud to be released next week and very excited" – http://bit.ly/hId15Y
"@nyconyco OK, this is coming next week on your @jolicloud http://t.co/AczZ" – http://bit.ly/fkjMBI
It's looking good. Can't wait to see what else they have in store!

Roundup has been manufactured and sold by Monsanto for decades and is registered for use in 130 countries. Gylphosate is the main ingredient in Roundup.
Monsanto vigorously opposes the Prop 65 listing. In a press release on its website Monsanto's vice president of regulatory affairs, Phil Miller said, "Based on the overwhelming weight of evidence, regulatory agencies have concluded for more than 40 years that glyphosate can be used safely."
In March 2015, Roundup was identified as "a possible human carcinogen" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization, based in Lyon, France. IARC reported that "there was limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for non-Hodgkin lymphoma". It reported its research showed "glyphosate also caused DNA and chromosomal damage in human cells".
It was that study that prompted the OEHHA in California to propose glyphosate be added to its list of Prop 65 chemicals.
At least sixty individuals or surviving relatives have launched lawsuits against Monsanto claiming that Roundup caused them to develop cancer.
More than a dozen families, and lawyers who represent them, gathered outside the Fresno Superior Courthouse on January 27, 2017 while the Monsanto lawyers were inside making oral arguments against the Prop 65 glyphosate listing.
Among them was 69-year-old John Barton, a third generation farmer from Bakersfield, California with stage three Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma who has launched a personal injury suit against Monsanto.
"As long as I can remember we have used Roundup on our farm," Barton told a crowd of reporters. "It is my deepest desire that no one else has to hear the word 'cancer' because of exposure to a known carcinogen."
Attorney Robert Kennedy Jr, from the firm of Kennedy & Madonna based in New York, who has a 30 year history of litigating against polluters and corporate wrongdoers currently represents some of the Monsanto litigants.
Speaking about Monsanto's objection to the Prop 65 listing in California Kennedy said, "Monsanto does not want farmers, landscapers and other applicators to know about that risk (of cancer)."
During the Fresno court proceedings Monsanto told the court that warning labels would likely turn away consumers and that the company would suffer financially. Monsanto's issued a press release prior to the hearing saying, "The conclusion from the IARC meeting in France was erroneous, non-transparent and based on selectively interpreted data. We are bringing this challenge forward because this intention to list is contrary to science."
The tentative decision to add glyphosate on the state's list of cancer causing chemicals is echoing across the country. The Organic Consumers Association, a non-profit advocacy group focused on health and justice issues and a long-time opponent of the use of Roundup and glyphosate sees the Prop 65 as a significant event.
The judge's ruling is still only tentative. She is now considering the oral arguments and will issue a final ruling sometime in the near future. Monsanto has issued a statement saying it will appeal any final decision to add glyphosate to the Prop 65 list.
In the meantime, an OEHHA media relations person, Sam Delson, told LAS the department would be awaiting the judge's final ruling in Fresno and will consider all the options before formally adding glyphosate to the Prop 65 list.

MILTON, Mass. – In a back-and-forth game, the MIT football dropped a close, 26-24, decision at Curry College this afternoon in a New England Football Conference (NEFC) contest. In the season finale for both schools, the Colonels finished the year at 4-6 overall and 3-4 in NEFC action while the Engineers wrapped up their campaign at 2-8 overall and 2-5 in league play.
Curry wasted no time opening the scoring, as sophomore Alex Corvese (Cranston, Mass.) led a 10-play, 56-yard drive on their first possession as he scampered in from two yards out to finish it off. However, freshman Mark Mrozek (Stratford, Conn.) missed the ensuing point-after try and the score remained at 6-0.
MIT responded with a 61-yard drive themselves which ended with senior Danny Callahan (Hinsdale, Ill.) connecting with classmate Karson Ota (Katy, Texas) from 11 yards out. After a successful point-after, the Engineers had a lead of 7-6.
The Colonels and Engineers would again trade scores at the beginning of the second quarter. At the end of the first quarter MIT had the ball but was stopped on fourth down by the Curry defense just a minute into the second quarter, giving the ball back to the Colonels. Corvese would end up finding junior Anthony Nastasi (River Edge, N.J.) for a 22-yard touchdown to put Curry on top 13-7.
MIT drove 61 yards on only eight plays to eventually find the end zone with freshman Adis Ojeda (Springfield, Va.) pounding it in from three yards out to give the Engineers the lead again at 14-13.
After a Curry drive stalled on fourth down, MIT was driving again and had the ball on its own 40-yard line. Callahan dropped back and was looking deep but Colonels' senior Mike Morrison (Quincy, Mass.) recorded his first interception of the year and returned it back to the Curry 27.
Sophomore Spencer Tyler (Yarmouth Port, Mass.) led his first drive of the game, which went 73 yards on 11 plays and ended with a 23-yard connection to freshman Dylan Vieira-Owens (Everett, Mass.) to put the Colonels up 20-14 at halftime.
After a quick three-and-out to start the third quarter, Curry punted it to the Engineers who then drove 73 yards themselves on 13 plays with Connor Hanlon (Conshohocken, Pa.) fighting in from a yard out to put the Engineers back on top, 21-20.
Curry would suffer another three-and-out but after senior classmates Dylan Spence (Newtown, N.H.) and Curtis Davila (Yorba Linda, Calif.) forced a fumble that sophomore Devin Williams (Gardner, Mass.) recovered, the Colonels drove 87 yards with Corvese at the helm again. Corvese found junior Dean Anderson (Melrose, Mass.) from five yards out for his second touchdown pass of the day. The ensuing two-point conversion try was unsuccessful so Curry was up again but only by a score of 26-21.
MIT had an 84-yard drive after that score but could not find the end zone and settled for a 26-yard field goal from junior Tucker Cheyne (Avon, Conn.)
The Colonels got the ball back with 9:17 left on the clock and a two-point lead but would be forced to punt on the ensuing drive. The Curry defense stepped up twice on fourth down with a loss of downs sandwiched in between to shut down the Engineers for good and seal the 26-24 victory.
The Colonels were led offensively by Alex Corvese who threw 17 completions on 25 attempts for 168 yards and two scores. He also amassed 39 yards on the ground on seven carries and another score. Spencer Tyler finished 9 of 14 for 94 yards and a touchdown himself.
Sophomore Peter Gallant (Gardner, Mass.) and senior captain Jordan Shairs (Glouster, Mass.) led the ground game with 38 yards on eight carries and 35 yards on 12 carries, respectively. Anderson also chipped in 28 yards on four carries.
Nastasi led the receiving corps with 116 yards and a score while catching 12 passes for a new school record of 88 receptions on the year. Anderson had five catches for 63 yards while Vieira-Owens went for 48 on three catches - both hauling in scores. Anderson also chipped in 42 kick return yards for 133 total yards on the day for Curry.
Defensively, sophomore Steve Grogan (Forestdale, Mass.) led the game with 13 solo tackles and added two tackles for lost yards. Williams followed with 10 total tackles, one and a half for a loss plus the fumble recovery. Spence and Morrison had eight and five respectively on their Senior Day with Morrison recording his first interception of the year as well.
The Engineers were led by Callahan who threw for 163 yards on 11 of 17 with an interception and a touchdown. He also ran for eight yards on six carries, but Ojeda led the ground game with 148 yards on 29 carries and one score. Ota led the MIT receiving corps with 97 yards on five catches and the touchdown.
Defensively, junior Kodiak Brush (Yorba Linda, Calif.) recorded 10 total tackles. Classmate Anthony Emberley (Longmont, Colo.) followed with eight tackles, two for losses totaling three yards. Freshman David Bambrick (Valencia, Calif.) also recorded seven tackles for MIT.

Step 1Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, wheat flour, salt, cinnamon, butter and brown sugar, pulsing until they come together to form a somewhat firm dough.
Step 2Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll to a thinness of approximately one-eighth inch. Place the dough, still covered, on a cookie sheet and chill for 20 minutes.
Step 3Carefully peel the top sheet of parchment paper and bake the dough until it is a deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool the graham cracker completely, then crumble the cracker and pulse in a food processor until it is broken into coarse crumbs. This makes about 2 1/2 cups crumbs.
Step 1In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with the ground cinnamon.
Step 2In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream, brown sugar and mascarpone on medium to high speed until the mixture forms soft peaks, about 5 minutes.
Step 3Carefully fold the pumpkin puree into the whipped cream mixture using a rubber spatula. Fill a large pastry bag set with a plain decorative tip with the pumpkin filling.
Step 4To build the fools, place 8 half-pint glasses or Mason jars on a tray. Put a tablespoon of the graham cracker crumbs into each glass, pipe about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin mixture directly on top. Continue alternating until you fill the glasses to the top, finishing with graham crackers. Alternatively, to serve a family-style fool, build the layers in a trifle dish (4-quart capacity). Refrigerate for at least one hour, and up to 24 hours, before serving.

Is the "X Factor" judge's panel prepping for a swap?
Reports out of London over the weekend have it that Simon Cowell is pondering a switch of Kelly Rowland — the former Destiny's Child member who broke into the music business with Beyoncé Knowles — for Nicole Scherzinger.
Rowland appears as a judge on the British version of "X Factor" and the swap — if it happens — would bring her to the US show next season and send Scherzinger to the British show next fall.
"Simon thinks she'll be amazing on the US show," a source told Now, a British weekly.
"Nicole's had a mixed reaction in the US, so there's talk of a job swap."
A spokeman for "X Factor" said that no decisions of cast changes will be made until the show ends next month.
But privately, at least, Cowell has indicated that the show needs some adjustments after the first season, where the ratings have been very good but not blockbuster.
Rowland began on the London TV show only this year, taking over for another "X Factor" judge, singer Cheryl Cole.
Cole had been moved over to the American version last summer, but was let go after two shows when Cowell decided she was not right for the show. Cole was replaced with Scherzinger.
Cowell is famous for shaking up the casts of his shows, which include "America's Got Talent" and several international spin-offs.

RDS4 Multipurpose Detection Kit
The RDS4 is a unique multipurpose detection set designed for the identification and localization of wireless, telephone and microphone electronic surveillance devices as well as to detect hidden wires utilized in such devices. All elements of the RDS4 set fulfil professional requirements and the metal casing ensures a high degree of mechanical resistance. All components of the set are integrated into a diplomat style briefcase with two mechanical and extra code locks. The RDS4 consists of the ACU-RD10 radio frequency detector, a telescoping antenna, an external probe, dynamic earphones, the WHG wide-band generator, two-wire antennas for the WHG and the line and telephone adapter.
- Radio frequency detector: RD10, 0.5 MHz – 25 GHz
- External probe: 0.1MHz – 20GHz, 2.4 m folding laminate bar
- Line and telephone adapter: 100 Hz – 0.5 MHz, sensitivity 0.3 – 7 mV eff
- WHG generator for localization of hidden wires: special spectrum 8 Vp-p, 1 kHz modulation
- Executive type suitcase: size 450 X 320 X 110 mm
The RD10 is a multipurpose, sensitive radio frequency detector suited for electronic countermeasures. Ease of use, optimized user parameters and portability makes the RD10 detector very useful to those dealing with confidential information. The main function of the detector is the identification and localization of active wireless bug transmitters. The detection system gives the user instant information about real RF field intensity and can estimate the distance of a 0.1 to 10 mW device. The unique advantage of RD10 software is the detection and localization of technologically sophisticated digital and pulse bug transmitters. The unit also allows permanent room protection and an external probe or line adapter connection is supplied.
The WHG:
is a wideband multi-signal internal AM/FM modulated power generator which together with an appropriate antenna activates hidden wires and makes them visible for RD10 detector. This function is based on the antenna principle and no non-linear elements are required for a positive response. The result is that any wire leading in or out from the inspected area (room) can be discovered.
The Line and Telephone Adapter:
can be connected to the External Probe input of the RD10 receiver. In Audio mode, telephone and other suspected wires could be checked for the presence of audio signals to detect connected loudspeakers, modified telephones, microphones etc. The low-frequency detection mode allows performing a spectrum analysis and detection of various devices using LF and RF spectrum from 18 kHz to 41 MHz. The adaptor is supplied with the connection board with two parallel-connected RJ plugs and outputs for connection of the adaptor input. The connection board allows the operator to check standard telephone lines. An additional high voltage adaptor provides the required connections to power lines.

I'm not very good at this regular feature thing am I? I promised art ideas for children every Tuesday, and now it's Thursday!
Anyway, this week we made butterflies with wooden pegs and paper doilies. Just decorate them as you wish then push the doily into the peg. Nice and simple for little hands.
We also made rather a lot of bunting!
Tomorrow is the private view of the Harrow Open Studios taster exhibition in West House, Pinner Memorial Park so i've been busy trying to get my work ready and framed for that. It's the first time HOS has had a taster exhibition, so fingers crossed it goes well and generates lots of interst in the main event which runs over the following two weekends.

Adapted from the first of Walter Mosley's popular Easy Rawlins novels, this neo-noir stars Denzel Washington as the private investigator plying his trade in South Central Los Angeles after WWII. When DeWitt Albright (a memorably shifty Tom Sizemore) asks Easy to find a missing woman (Jennifer Beals) involved with a mayoral candidate, the detective soon has several murders to solve. With Don Cheadle. "It's the film's glowing visual qualities, a striking performance by Denzel Washington and the elegant control Carl Franklin has over it all that create the most exotic crime entertainment of the season." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times.

I find myself frustrated. Frustrated by bad SEO and articles I have no control over. I had someone post a bad review of me -- someone who brought on a band to my platform and failed to mention it wasn't the "original members" who had the hit in the 1980's.. failed to mention a missing member owned the name.. and although the band wasn't upset with us -- asked us to change out their single on a compilation album we had already pressed thousands of on an extremely limited budget. We were able to convince them to let us sell through the CD's we had pressed, they gave us the condition that we cut off all communication with the guy that brought them to us.. apparently he had miss-represented them in other ways in other situations. the guy was upset we cut off communication with him at the band's request, and decided to write a nasty review of me, persoanlly -- not at all mentioning what had happened here, just attacking my credibility -- saying I was a red-headed stepchild and that I didn't know what I was doing. The really sad part is that all of this was 6+ years ago-- I'm still friends with the band, the person who wrote it realized he had done something morally deficient and asked the site to take it down, which since it is an anonymous site, they would not, but it shows up #2 in my search results when you search Amanda Ridinger, my name. It doesn't say anything about my company. It doesn't give any real facts about me. It just attacks me in a very vague way -- and very publicly. This is frustrating. I contacted services to see what I could do about it, any service that could possibly handle this costs $7500 - $15000.. which I very much do not have even for the bigger things in life.. like buying a well for my property in Virginia to make it livable.. let alone to have a link removed from google... It has me thinking about changing my name.
There is also a blog, about my company that is riddled with inaccuracies. A random attack from a person I have never met or done business with. He gets away with it apparently, because he fills all his blog with the statement that everything is "in his opinion" It doesn't matter that the facts are way way off the map -- because he isn't stating them as facts.. which confuses me -- if you state a company charges a certain amount.. or does or does not do something -- how can that be an a opinion -- They charge that amount or they don't -- it's not an opinion. And when we don't how in the heck can he get away with it.
Trying to build a solid brand for myself, I have worked very hard to grow my social media presence and SEO. The biggest challenge.. is it is all very time consuming. How do we find the time to get done all the blogs, the social media posts, take the pictures and still have content to fill all that with.. what do I mean? Well if It takes me several hours to edit a video -- 2 hours to write the blog, I have to spend time posting on social media -- connecting with others there and driving them back to my posts -- fill in all these different sites, edit photos and post -- and I still have to DO the stuff to write about -- I need time to be out there experiencing and enjoying life so I have something to post about. Now granted the fact that we can somehow make money off of just experiencing life and sharing that with the world is quite a beautiful thing. It makes it all worth it. But I must say it is really really hard to manage. When do the people that do it perfectly, sleep?
I somehow have a bit of nostalgia for something I've never even experienced. I want to go back to the hunter gatherer days.. everything a new experience and living in life for myself, no money.. having to hunt down and catch my food.. having to search for it.. spending my days.. not contemplating life.. but instead actually living.. experiencing... Isn't that the point...
In some ways what I just described is a joke.. a total joke.. but seriously.. I make it look pretty good online... but it's a lot.. and sometimes I think I make it too good. It causes the people around me to think its all play and no work lol.. and I guess I'm a pretty sensitive person so, for me, sometimes it gets a little heavy. You have to look like you are having fun, like you are very interesting, like your life is awesome online, in order for it to be effective. But its quite a lot of work, and it isn't always quite as fun as it looks. Don't get me wrong, I love the freedom of being able to travel the country, meet new people, experience new things every day. But I probably spend 90% of my waking hours working, 5% working out-- both so I can look and feel the way I want to but it is also very motivating that I need to work out, in order to post about working out -- and i need to find a way to take pictures and videos without getting in the way of my workout, and the other 5% is split, I need to find time to go out to eat so I can take pictures and have experiences to write about, I need to find the time to attend music industry events -- to meet people, to have artists to interview, to have shit to post about, to keep current so I know what the fuck I'm doing. I also have to do all of the normal, boring, non-work, life shit -- like doing laundry, cleaning my house (bus/rv), paying my bills, maintenance on the bus, grocery shop, cook, eat, shower, personal hygiene, etc. I also need to find the time to keep up with my friends and family so I'm not a lonely depressed fuck lol and so everyone doesn't forget about me and hate me.. I already hear a lot of complaints. I worry a lot that I'm not good enough, that people don't like me anymore.. I just can't seem to help it. And then I need to manage 20 different social media pages, I need to answer hundreds of emails.. I need to answer texts.. I know this is now the new "problem of man".. or human I really should say - but seriously how does everyone do it?
I guess something unique to me, is I'm associated with money. I don't have it, but I know people that do, so people assume I make lots of it or much much worse, and much more often people assume I am handed lots of. I wish I did.. I wish I was.. I'm seriously working on making it.. but it's really overwhelming when people come to you and pretend to be interested in what you are doing.. only to expect you to give them some of the money you don't have, that they don't deserve, that you haven't offered. It sucks! Knock it off people!! And they get mad when they try to con you into giving them the money you are looking for by pretending to be interested, and you don't have it.. and they are mad? I've been trying to figure out how to make that work to my advantage.. I haven't figured it out yet.. as of now, its just very annoying.. and honestly depressing.. and somewhat offensive. I don't have time to waste.. and people waste my time feigning interest because they don't believe I'm a start-up. They look at me only as a potential investor in whatever their endeavor is. Grow some morals people -- I know you believe in what you are doing.. but I believe in what I'm doing as well. don't waste my time trying to get money from me that I don't have. I'm very good at being frugal, I'm very good at saving, I'm great at living on a very limited budget.. I'm a master at it. I plan to bring in more money.. but my plan is to continue to be frugal.. eliminate expenses.. set up my off-grid property. The area I picked, the property taxes are around $100 a year -- I want to grow my own food there and really live! Run my businesses and my brands from there and from the road in my off-grid RV.
What sucks about the brand online part of being associated with money is, people google, they think I'm
rich, and assume I'm some spoiled rich kid who doesn't know what I'm
doing. I'm not.. I've been in the trenches since I was 19 or 20.. I've
worked very menial jobs since I was 15.. I did the whole save up for my first car bit
when I was 16 and I paid my own insurance in my own name. I've worked my
ass off in the music industry.. put in my own money when I was making
$2000 a month to support 2 people.. I was the roadie carrying gear, I
was the merch girl, I was the booking agent, I was the tour manager,
I've been the social media manager, I built the team, I dealt with the
lawyers, I've really done it all and worked my ass off.
So in conclusion of my rant, which I needed to get off my chest (I promise most of my content will be so much more positive and greatful.. but sometimes you just need to get it off ya chest) I know it is
not just me.. everyone doing this struggles... we all have to balance so.. seriously tell me how do you do it? Comment and give me your tips and tricks.

This article deals with attending a foreign institution for all of your undergraduate years. For study abroad programs, click here.
Deciding where to go for college is one of the most pivotal decisions in your life, not just professionally, but also to develop the path of your life. If you are exploring going to foreign institutions for the length of your undergraduate career, you should have a clear idea of what you are after and consider the following factors.
1. Cost
This is a major factor in considering where to study even domestically, so it stands to reason that you should refer to it even when it is on a larger scale. However, some of its aspects may change. For example, some programs in the United Kingdom may be cheaper than those in the United States, but this is evened out by the high cost of living in the U.K. Additionally, some schools do not offer financial aid to international students or are not need-blind when considering international students. Make sure you are completely educated on the details and give yourself an estimated cost that includes factors such as tuition, housing, food and if needed, transport.
2. Time
Some colleges allow you to complete your degree in three years, like certain institutions in Canada and Australia, if you have completed the Internal Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Conversely, certain programs at some colleges could be more time-consuming than the average four year course. This also ties into the price aspect, because graduating earlier or later can add or subtract a whole year's tuition.
3. Transfer options
If you decide that you want to switch from an academic institution in Australia to one in the United Kingdom, you do not want to find out that they will not accept any credits from your prior institution and that you have wasted a year.
4. Professional goals
Do you wish to settle in that specific region abroad after you complete your studies? Some programs are tailored to the region, such as some Political Science programs that may put emphasis on the structure in the home country. You may also be offered job placements, or at least a grace period to look for jobs in that country, after college. Another good reason would be if the particular program you wish to study is not offered at any institution in your country.
5. Quality of education
Consider if the quality of the program you are applying to is better than any of those in your country. If you are applying to the program as a safety and do end up going there, reevaluate all the factors to make sure it really is the best fit for you.
6. Personal factors
Is the most commonly spoken language in the country English, and if not, can you speak the language fluently? Are you used to the local cuisine, and if so, do you love or hate it? Are you familiar with the differences in their culture and behaviors? It is important to note these seemingly trivial factors because the transition into college life is always hard, and the added stress of not fitting in can make it worse.
7. Specific policies
Acquaint yourself with your countries policies. Do you need an i-20 and a Visa to study in the country you have chosen? Some believe that visiting certain countries may lead to others prohibiting you from entering their country. This is not a situation you want to face at the last minute!
To conclude, as long as you know your preferences and have given them enough precedence in your decision, you should do great. This could be a great learning experience that changes the course of your life.

Gosh! Where has the month gone? I know February is the shortest month of the year anyway, but it's March tomorrow and it only feels like yesterday we were taking the Christmas tree down!
I got up to quite a few nice things this month - my sister and I went to London to see The Royal Ballet perform Swan Lake and it was also my cousin's wedding, which was a beautiful occasion.
What lovely things did you get up to in February?
