Alright, so the Adobe Imagination Challenge has officially entered the second voting round. Have you entered your project yet? If not, check out our initial post on the challenge, and ask yourself, why am I not going for that $10,000 prize? Well, that's what I would do.
As I mentioned in that previous post, submissions will be judged in part by a panel of celebrity judges. Today I'd like to profile each of them, and then let you in on a unique opportunity. Read on to find out more!
Jake and Amir
If you're a regular CollegeHumor visitor, you'll instantly recognize this pair; Jake and Amir are two of the most prominent faces over there, and they've been making hilarious sketch comedy videos since 2007. Their promo video was interesting to me because, at one point, Jake mentions that he used to use Photoshop to create blog post graphics when he couldn't find any on the internet. Well, I do that too! (see above) Obviously that means I should be on CollegeHumor as well. They'll call, just you wait.
Deadmau5 is pretty well-known by now, I'd think; even if you haven't heard his music (which we featured on this list), you've probably had your Minecraft server griefed by him (seriously, Minecraft griefing is one of his pastimes). It's cool to know that he developed his entire image on his own using stuff like Photoshop and Flash. Even though the mouse head is pretty simplistic, it's become somewhat of an icon.
Rivers Cuomo
Don't know who Rivers Cuomo is? That's ok, neither did I. Google him, though, and you'll get a much more familiar name – Weezer. Yup, Cuomo is indeed the lead singer and guitarist of Weezer. Interestingly, he notes Elements as his favorite Adobe product because he uses it to capture all his photos and notes. Personally, I'd use Evernote for that, but to each his own I suppose!
Scott Dadich
Perhaps the least recognizable name on the list, Scott Dadich still a well-known name in the print design world. Currently the creative director for design firm Condé Nast, Dadich has been referred to as "some sort of combination between Jesus and Pele" by others in the design area. It's safe to say he's qualified to judge a contest like this.
The Cool Opportunity…
Alright, so here's the cool opportunity I mentioned above. Right now, you've got a chance to ask these judges anything. We'll be collecting questions through the end of the week, and we'll send them off to Adobe next week.
Wondering how Deadmau5 came up with the mouse design? Want to ask the lead singer of Weezer for singing tips? Whatever you want to ask, leave it in the comments. You might just get an answer.

information about your business or company, or personal interests if it
not business related.
It is also an ideal option for businesses which have a number of arms which don't each require a fully developed website.
may not wish to further enhance your presence on the internet beyond a
single page, but if you do, a brochure site can be an excellent first
step while you continue to work on plans for a more complete web site. Our websites are scalable, so it is easy to add additional pages and functionality.

Websites work
most effectively if they are updated regularly. There's nothing
worse for someone browsing websites than seeing a page which obviously
hasn't been updated for more than six months - they're not even
sure if the business still exists!
These don't have to
be major upgrades or overhauls of the site - just addition or modification
of some information, and perhaps some topical information on your
area of business. A regular blog is one option for easy and regular updating. Updates will also improve your search engine rating.
minimum of three-monthly updates are recommended. Our content management system makes these changes very easy for you to do yourself. Otherwise, we can either organise a regular pre-paid 'maintenance
contract', or you are welcome to let us know each time you wish to
update the site. Updates are generally $80/hour (minimum of ½ hour
blocks), or less under a pre-paid maintenance contract.

a .net domain is cheaper than a .com.au domain.
We can help you determine the most economic options and set up the domain name registration and web hosting.
Domain name costs
.com or .net (1 year): $40
.com.au or .net.au (2 years): $80

Cheryl and Ingrid continue their conversation and take questions from FIT students…
Cheryl speaks to FIT class: Interesting Projects
Ingrid: So following Mississippi Burning, which was like the high point of low points, Cheryl you continued to supervise and it was often a partnership with another supervisor.
Cheryl: Yes, they don't do that so much anymore, but we used to pair up, which was great because one person did the front end, meaning on set in the wardrobe truck and one did the back end in the department space. Sometimes one did men, one did women.
Like on Age of Innocence; I was the women's set costumer, Michael Adkins was the men's set costumer and the Costume Supervisor, Deirdre Williams was on the truck and the back end supervisor, Hartsell Taylor, did the extras. I was offered the back end supervisor position, but I wanted to be around those beautiful clothes and dress Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder. That wasn't the easiest job, because dressing an American actress in a corset everyday is tricky. Winona was very uncomfortable and always wanted us to take a bone or two out, but that would ruin the look of the dress.
The English ladies had done a lot of that kind of work, so what they would do is keep the corset on for lunch, because they said the corset would tell them how much they could eat. If you take it off and put it back on, you're probably going to have an upset stomach. You eat lunch like a bird in a corset. That was a hard job even though it was beautiful clothes, made in Italy, handmade shoes. Unpacking those clothes when they came over from Italy was like Christmas. I loved working on that film, but it was hard. Not as hard as Fried Green Tomatoes, which was really hard because it was so hot. The heat can be really oppressive.
Ingrid: And it can actually be something you have to deal with on set. An actor can soak through their clothing and gets so wet it appears on camera. We had issues where you're there with a blow dryer between takes trying to dry them off. OR… you just soak their clothes and leave them that way.
Cheryl: Yes! I've actually done that more than the other… soak them totally and then they just look limp as opposed to wet. It sounds weird but it works. Like a light blue shirt really pops wet, so you have to wet the whole thing. So it would be limp but all one color. That's the other thing. Everyone has a different way of making it look like someone has been sweating. Have you ever seen a film where the sweat looks bizarre and it's just, like, who sweats that way?? That's some wardrobe person trying to figure it out, or a director saying, "More sweat!" And then sometimes you need to match the sweat.
Ingrid: I'll never forget in "Silence of the Lambs" there's an opening sequence where Jodie Foster is jogging and she has this perfect triangle of sweat. And you just know that the director said, "She needs sweat!" And they made this triangle and then had to keep it that way for continuity.
Cheryl: There's also blood continuity. I worked on this film "Brenda Starr," and we had this one guy in a union suit who had to be bloody because he'd been beaten. And that was before the days of better blood. And if it got wet with sweat, it would start to run and turn pink. It was so hot in Florida when we shot this. We had made him perfectly bloody, and I said to the actor, I'm gonna follow you back to your camper so we can take this off and hang it up. And he said, "Oh no, I'm way too hot," and he jumped overboard, we were on a boat, and he went straight overboard and I said to the makeup artist, "Guess who's not gonna get lunch? You and me." So now we had to try to match from a polaroid where all the blood was.
Ingrid: I think everyone in this room just simultaneously decided they don't want this job!
Cheryl: Oh, but despite all that I've loved my career. I wouldn't choose another career. I have horror stories, but I've loved it and I'm so glad I stuck with it. As a supervisor I got to work hand in hand with a designer to make her vision come to life. The creative part for a costume supervisor is how to get the job done when you only have five cents…
Ingrid: Or five seconds.
Cheryl: Yes, or five seconds! And I'm telling you all the things that can go wrong, there are many, but there are also times when they really go right and you're so proud of the work that you do. And when you sit at that first screening with your comrades from your department, it's really nice to feel so proud of the work. One thing about film is that it's out there forever; you can always go back and watch what you did and say, "I remember that day."
Cheryl Speaks to FIT class: MWS's humble beginings
Ingrid: So a moment ago you were talking about the blood and it wasn't the best… so part of the job is making sure you have all the stuff you need. And it used to be that you had to go to all these different places. You had to get hangers from a company here, and garment bags from a company there, and dye somewhere else. And it became a nightmare trying to find your resources. So Cheryl saw this gap, this essential need that we had for a place where you could go to get everything you need. So this is the beginning of Manhattan Wardrobe Supply…
Cheryl: Yes, my partner Tommy Boyer and I, who came from Broadway and then moved to film, met on a film. We were on the back of the wardrobe truck on a film called "You've Got Mail." We were both having a bad day and he said, "What's our end game here? What do we do when we're too old to do this anymore." So we came up with this idea to have this wardrobe supply place because there was nowhere to get the all things you need. We were working with this very famous costume designer named Albert Wolsky, and he thought it was such a great idea and urged us to do it. So we wrote our business plan in the back of a wardrobe truck.
We originally thought we would do this just for movie and television productions and stay small, but now we've expanded to 8,000 square feet and we're like a Home Depot! We also added professional hair, makeup supplies to our wardrobe care supplies. We sell everything from shoe supplies, sewing supplies, hangers, garment bags, detergents… everything a wardrobe supervisor needs for a film. But then we realized that we forgot about Broadway, so we added Broadway, we forgot about fashion and models and runway shows and photographers, cruise lines and Cirque Du Soleil, theater schools, Cosplayers and shoe artists. Basically from Texas to Dubai if "Mickey and Judy" are puttin' on a show we're probably selling to them. We sell all over the country and all over the world now. Two years ago we took a leap of faith and added hair and makeup. Neither of us knew anything about that, so we hired people who did. We listened to our customers and then we got it. We kept doing movies while we grew, up until about 4 years ago. Growing our business and working as a wardrobe supervisor was way over the top!
Ingrid: I like to go over there sometimes and stare at all these cool things that I didn't even know I needed.
Cheryl: We do love our gadgets!
Ingrid: And I'd like to point out that you're now selling hosiery again!
Cheryl: Haha, we sell the kind of hosiery that you put on a dancer, that makes your legs look good on stage! Not the kind you would walk down the street in. And really now nobody even wears hosiery anymore.
Cheryl speaks to FIT class: Time for Q & A
Ingrid: You got out of that in the nick of time! We have time for a few questions if anyone wants to ask Cheryl about the business.
Student: How many markets do you attend a year to buy all the product for your store… or do you not even attend a market?
Cheryl: We've never attended a single market! So how do we know what to buy? We just read a lot, look at magazines, even Facebook, we'll see something and say "we have to have that!" Or people contact us… for example, you know how we use gaffer's tape or pvc pipes over racks to keep the hangers in place? This woman put all of that on steroids and she invented this product to clamp down on the rack to keep hangers in place. It's a really cool product. Inventors contact us all the time. Probably a sewing market would be a cool thing to go to. But we just observe. I had to do that as a costumer, I'd take pictures of uniforms and workers uniforms. You have to recreate these for a movie… ConEd people, construction guys, sanitation. So… I got used to observing!
Student: When movies air do you get royalties?
Cheryl: Oh no… no, you just get to reminisce! You get the credit. And sometimes when you're first starting and you're 12th PA you don't even get that. But once you're in the union they have to give you credit.
Ingrid: But these days with IMDB, you can make sure that you get credit there by submitting yourself.
Cheryl: You might have to prove it with a call sheet. Always keep your call sheet in case you need to prove you worked on a film. At least one call sheet.
Ingrid: That's good advice.
Cheryl: Some movies don't put everyone who worked on the film. Like on Age of Innocence and on Fried Green Tomatoes, there were so many people who worked on the film so they didn't include everyone, which was heartbreaking. Some of those people worked so hard!
Student: You said you got yelled at a lot in the beginning, how do you act after something like that happens? Does it blow over?
Cheryl: Oh yes, they forget about it in 5 minutes. But the story I told, I got yelled at because I was a young person put in a position where I didn't know what I was doing. That rarely happens in NY. But if a director yells at you on a film , they'll probably forget about it in 5 minutes. It all moves so fast nobody even remembers the next day. And you get a thick skin and you don't even remember it. I remember on Mississippi Burning, Alan Parker yelled at both Ingrid and I, he actually made me cry! There was a scene with the Klu Klux Klan, Alan made a call that the Klan would wear flour sacks on their heads instead of the cone shaped headresses and the actors couldn't see. I was running around trying to tape the nose pieces, so they could see at least a little and they wouldn't accidentally hit somebody with the clubs that they were carrying. So right before shooting Alan asked me to check all the hoods, and Alan was shouting, "Faster, faster, you're ruining my shot!" And luckily the actors were all really nice and just said, "Ignore him!" Gene Hackman even said, "Don't pay any attention!"
Student: If you don't want to live in NY, can you make a living doing this?
Cheryl: Oh yeah! Georgia is the number one film capital in the world! I went down there recently to scope out possibilities for MWS. Tyler Perry is on his second studio there. There's Pinewood… that has 12 stages and hopes to increase to 18 stages! And that's just two. There's about 20 of them! You can make a living n Atlanta, Florida, Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Texas, Louisiana and of course Los Angeles!. You don't have to be in NY. However I am very partial to the camaraderie of the crews here. We all help each other.
Student: How do I find someone to work with?
Cheryl: Right… so how do you get your first job? You want to get a PA job. So you go to the film office, and they have a website with internship programs. They've cracked down on interns because they have to pay you something unless you're getting school credit. Now in Georgia, it's a right to work state. So you don't have to be in a union to get hired on a job. So it's a little easier to get started. Again, you'd probably reach out to the film office. Or you go to Georgia Film Academy and learn what you need to learn. I got my start in Atlanta. I elevated myself to be a big fish in a little pond. But I I wanted to be a medium fish in a big pond so I could keep learning! That is how I ended up in New York.
Ingrid: I would also suggest to people who are looking for PA work here in NY, there's a Google group called Last Looks. I've been emailing you guys occasionally about people looking for PA's. This Google group is geared towards wardrobe and they often are looking for PA's. They list these positions on this Google group and you can request to join and they'll send your listing to your email.
Cheryl: I know lots of people who started as PA's and worked their way up. Robert DeNiro's star dresser, JLo's star dresser, they both started as PA's.
Student: Is there an organizational chart?
Cheryl: It starts with the Costume Designer, and then his or her assistant(s). Then there's Local 829 (the Costume design union) shoppers and a coordinator. The Wardrobe Supervisor has his or her set people, and star dressers who are often requested by the Actors that have that position in their contract. On a large film or television show there is a head tailor who has a staff. On a small budget their might only be one tailor. There are also ager dyers and milliners. PA's are a grey area. PA's are usually hired by the design team to do returns, they are not supposed to perform a Local 764 (wardrobe union) wardrobe function. PA's are at the bottom of the totem pole so to speak and usually do that for a year, and then they usually go into design, become a coordinator, or a Local 764 costumer. Or sometimes they say, shoot, I want to do props! But if they like the business they usually become something!
Thanks to Ingrid and all her students at FIT! Cheryl had a great time sharing stories and talking about the business!

The brakes on your bicycle go unnoticed most of the time. Until they stop working so well, that is. One of the common causes of poor brake performance is worn out brake pads. Here's everything you need to know about replacing and upgrading your disc brake pads.
How long will my brake pads last?
How long you can expect brake pads to last is like asking how long a piece of string is. Different compounds impact the durability of a brake pad. Then there is the type of riding, the terrain, the weather conditions, the rider weight, these are factors that influence how long the brake pads last. Generally, you can expect disc brake pads to last longer than rim brake blocks, part of the reason they have become popular in the UK.
When to replace brake pads
If you ride frequently, it's a sensible idea to visually inspect your brakes on a regular basis. While brake pads can last a very long time, the last thing you want is to get caught out miles away from home with ineffective brake pads because you've let them wear down dangerously. Brake pads will wear more quickly in the winter so it's critical to pay them close attention at this time of year.
If your brakes don't feel as good as they did when the bike was new, it might be a sign you need some new brakes. With mechanical (cable operated) disc brakes, you can start to tell when your brake pads are wearing down as the brake lever will pull closer to the handlebar. To remedy this, you can take out the slack in the system by using the barrel adjuster on the lever or caliper to adjust the cable tension. Hydraulic systems automatically adjust the pad clearance.
It's a little tricky to do a quick visual inspection of disc brake pads. While you can peer closely at the caliper and see how much pad material is remaining on the metal backing plate, sometimes it's easier to remove the wheel and inspect the brake pads without the disc rotor inserted between the pads.
There should be a reasonable amount of pad material on the metal back plate, a couple of millimetres at least, any less than that and it's a good time to replace them. If all you can see is the backing plate, you need some new pads!
If you do wear down your brake pads to the metal backing plate, you'll likely know since they'll make an awful sound and the performance will be poor. This is the reason for the frequent inspections, to replace the pads before they get dangerously low.
What brake pad choices are there?
Disc brake pads typically come in three flavours; sintered, organic and semi-metallic.

Replacing Dentures
Can All-On-4 Replace My Dentures?
Patients looking for tooth replacement solutions often end up with dentures or dental implants. However, not everyone gets along with dentures, mainly because they can get loose and need to be taken out on a daily basis. If you are looking for a permanent tooth replacement solution, dental implants or all-on-4 may be advised depending on your jawbone volume.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants can be seen as some of the most advanced solutions for missing teeth, whether the patient is missing one or several teeth. The dental implant will be the foundation of your new tooth/teeth, and therefore functions as a tooth root. In most cases, this tooth root is made from titanium or a similar metal.
The materials used to create dental implants will depend heavily on the procedure, so the dental implants used for All-On-4 are not necessarily the same as implants used during a normal dental implant procedure. Most dental implants implemented in the jawbone will be made of a high grade titanium, or an alloy of titanium with additional aluminium or vanadium for more strength and resistance.
Crowns will consist of a different material than the actual dental implant, considering this part will be visible. Many crowns used during a dental implant procedure are made from a ceramic material, which have a look that is close to the look of normal teeth.
Why Do Patients Need Sufficient Bone Volume for Dental Implants?
In order to take advantage of dental implants, patients must have sufficient jawbone, because jawbone will be the foundation of your dental implants. When there is insufficient jawbone, dental implants may not fuse properly with the jawbone, or may become loose because of the unsteady foundation. Therefore, patients who want to go for normal dental implants need to have sufficient jawbone for the procedure to be successful.
Are There Ways to Acquire New Jawbone?
When a patient with a low amount of jawbone wants to take advantage of normal dental implants, the patient will need to consider one of two options. The first option is the All-On-4 dental implants, a procedure that makes it possible for patients with low bone volume to still acquire dental implants. A second alternative is a procedure called bone grafting, which is used to replenish missing jawbone.
Unfortunately, bone grafting procedures can be quite expensive and lengthy. The procedure is not only used in dentistry, but general surgery as well. Bone grafting can replace missing bone, which could repair complex bone fractures. Of course, it is also a common procedure to restore the bone volume in the jaw of patients who have suffered tooth loss.
In some cases, bone grafting is not necessary to benefit from a dental implant procedure, for example dental implants implemented with the All-On-4 technique. The All-On-4 procedure could prevent people from having to undergo lengthy bone grafting procedure and still obtain permanent teeth.
Is Getting Dental Implants Painful?
As is the case with the majority of surgical procedures, most patients experience some discomfort after the procedure, considering the area where the implants were inserted still has to settle. It will also take some time before a patient is fully used to having the implants in their mouth.
In addition to discomfort, patients may also experience some degree of swelling. The swelling tends to subside over time, but patients should keep an eye on the area until the healing process is complete. If swelling or discomfort should increase without any reason, be sure to contact your dentist as soon as possible for a follow-up appointment.
How to Maintain Permanent Replacement Teeth and Dental Implants?
The maintenance of your dental implants and replacement teeth is quite similar to that of normal teeth, but there are two crucial differences patients must be aware of. First of all, dental implants will attach themselves to surrounding jawbone and the gums and the materials used to make replacement teeth are different from normal teeth as well. However, if patients take into account the following cleaning and maintenance rules, dental implants can last for many years with little to no problems.
Be Aware of Infections
The biggest enemy of your dental implants and replacement teeth is infection. Therefore, brushing and flossing your implants becomes equally as important as brushing and cleaning your normal teeth.
When dental implants and replacement teeth have been inserted, bacterial biofilm can appear, just as it does on natural teeth. When that biofilm is not removed on a daily basis, patients can develop an infection better known under the name peri-implantitis, or inflammation of the implants. If the condition is left untreated, dental implants may fail. In some cases, patients may also suffer a further loss of jawbone.
Visit Your Dental Hygienist Regularly
Brushing and flossing your replacement teeth daily is important, but just as important is visiting your dental hygienist on a regular basis. By visiting your dental hygienist for a regular check-up, your hygienist can make sure your new teeth and gums stay free of infection. He or she can also execute a professional clean, which includes removing biofilm, foods and hard residue from the teeth and implants.
To professionally clean replacement teeth, dental hygienists need to use special tools that will not damage the crown, abutment or the dental implant. The hygienist must also check for damage such as scratches and cracks, since these are places that bacteria may start to accumulate.
Cleaning Aids
Cleaning dental implants requires a little more effort and some special brushes. To ensure you keep your dental implants clean, make sure you acquire dedicated dental care tools such as interdental brushes, dental floss and soft picks. If you are unsure where to obtain these cleaning.

This album began as Woods' tribute to the wonderful Brazilian singer Elis Regina. Gradually it evolved into a broader project, a salute to Astor Piazzola as well. Five of the 11 compositions in the album are by Piazzolla, and another Piece for Piazzolla, is Woods' tribute to him. "It's all about the pure passion of Piazzolla's music—it's fado with jazz roots. You can almost see the bulls running..." The rest of the tunes are Brazilian, excepting Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma." "The album is also a salute to Dizzy," Woods says. "He's the father of it all."
"...one of his most beautiful albums to date. Woods magnificently displays both his classically trained side and his masterful jazz chops...Astor and Elis is one of my top picks for best album of 1996. It's a gorgeous CD that should appeal to Woods' fans as well as to those who love subtle South American rhythms." - Jazz & Blues

So, what makes Russian women so great, and why do foreigners from around the world go absolutely crazy for them? There's plenty of good reasons that men admire, pursue, and love Russian women, no matter how near or far, or what it takes to achieve meeting one and creating a future together.
So, let's review some of the biggest differences between Russian and American women, and why men dream of a Russian princess to sweep off her feet and one day marry.
1. Russian women are beautiful, and they know it. Not only this, but Russian women take serious pride in, and work hard to maintain their beautiful, fit bodies, gorgeous long hair, and perfect, tight, long legs and just the right fit body tone.
They take their health very seriously, and in comparison, are typically much more health savvy, but also actually active in proper dieting – and will likely try to rub off on you too if you're receptive enough. After all, your Russian beauty will want you to be healthy and live as long as possible to live a long, fulfilling life together.
2. A lot of men have the negative experiences of being lied to, cheated on, or strung along with the women they meet in America or other comparable western countries. This seems to be not just simply a part of the culture, but in particular, the way women are raised in these places – which is anything but desirable.
And while it's true many American women know what loyalty is and display it, it's likely nowhere near as common as it is with Russian women. They are brought up by their families to be supportive, loving, humble, and honest. Russians are taught by their families how to be providers, sincere, hard-workers, but also survivors.
Your Russian girlfriend will always have your back, and even when you're not around will gladly stand up for you, never embarrass you, or allow other men to flirt with her or vice versa. This is hard to find in a lot of American women, and women in general – so it's definitely a huge plus.
3. Russian women will challenge you in all aspects of your life, and expect from you what you say you'll do, promise, or aspire to be. This is very beneficial, and having such a supportive woman in your life can be hard to come by now a days, no matter where you're from.
4. No matter how successful you are, if you're having a hard time, or not doing well financially, a Russian woman will always have your back, and stick it out with you through thick and thin. And unlike a lot of other women, she'll always be willing to go to work, even if she never has before, or has minimal experience and skills. Russian women are not only ambitious, but dedicated, and it shows in the relationships they have with men.
5. A lot of foreigners are attracted to Russian women not so much because they 'play hard to get', but because as beautiful as they are, and as sexy as they dress, they still have class and leave something for the imagination. This too can be difficult to come by, and self-respect goes a long way when it comes time bring home your girlfriend, love, or future wife to meet your mother and family.
6. Russian women are also considerably more feminine in comparison to American women, and it's uncommon you'll ever really see them spitting, cursing, yelling, or acting behaving in any way beyond how a classy woman might be expected to conduct herself.
They also know how to handle their liquor, are considerably more responsible, and don't constantly need you there supporting them, holding their hair back, or carrying them home after a long night out on the town. It's not common that you'll meet a Russian woman with tattoos, at least not visible with normal clothing on, and in America it's often all too common– and for many men, a big turn-off.
7. Russian women take good care of their body and hygiene, always ensure they are clean, that they smell great, look great, and carry themselves with considerably more integrity. They don't try to "act like the boys" or fit in, and will respect your "man time" without pressuring you to come along – which can be both unwanted and awkward.
8. Lastly, Russian women often tend to have much more world interests, knowledge, and experiences in comparison, which will always make for great conversation, and increase their overall appeal. Typically, Russian women are also quite educated, and along with this have an entrepreneurial mindset which is always a big plus, are typically good with money, and will always be there when you need her.

|Pashley Manor Gardens
|The thumbnails below are
linked to larger pictures
The estate can be traced back to 1262, when the de Passele family built a moated Manor and held the estate until 1453, when it was sold to the forebears of Anne Boleyn. The present owners Mr and Mrs James Sellick opened the gardens to the public in 1992 and have brought them to their present splendor with the assistance of friend and eminent landscape architect Anthony du Gard Pasley.
The 11 acres of Gardens offer a sumptuous blend of romantic landscaping, imaginative plantings and fine old trees, fountains, springs and large ponds. This is an English Garden of a very individual character, with exceptional views to the surrounding valleyed fields. Many eras of English History are reflected here, encapsulating the tradition of the English Country House and its Garden.
I personally found the Gardens very charming and uplifting, retaining the privacy of a grand country house, without the tendency to overwhelm that can be inherent in larger landscapes. The house remains a family home and unfortuately is not open to the public.
Pashley Manor is located in East Sussex on the B2099 between the A21 and Ticehurst Village.

My final podcast of the year is a chat with Luke Fitton. Whilst he's not quite yet a household name, Luke has had a hand in music that will have made itself audible to even the most oblivious of people.
As part of the Xenomania songwriting and production team, Luke has worked with big selling pop acts like Girls Aloud, Little Mix and The Gossip, honing his skills as a songwriter and producer in one of the most successful pop production houses of the last 20 years.
But Luke's work is not all confined to the studio, he's also a working musician. We discuss the life of a gigging guitarist and all that comes with life on the road, comparing his earlier jobs to his current position as guitarist for Kylie Minogue's touring band.

Podcast: An Interview With Emily Phillips
Emily Phillips is a songwriter who has written with artists like John Newman ("Cheating"), Rizzle Kicks (multiple tracks on both albums) and Jazz singer Kate Dimbleby. She got her start in music when Damon Albarn, who was her flat mate at the time, gave her a guitar and told her to write a song. Years later she has toured the world with her band Transcargo, built herself a successful career as a songwriter and started a family with husband/bandmate Ant Whiting.
Emily very kindly invited me down to the studio she and Ant work in to talk about music, creativity, Russian echo units and a rather unpleasant event involving a spider, an audience of 50 people and the man who wrote "Delilah".

D.D Dumbo Live At St Pancras Old Church - November 9th 2014
Churches make for odd gig venues. They're always atmospheric and interesting, not to mention acoustically superior to most buildings but they create a sense of reverence amongst an audience that, when paired with the wrong artist can detract a little from the show. Luckily for me and the other 60 or so people at D.D. Dumbo's show at the haunting, cracked and wonderful St Pancras Old Church in King's Cross, that wasn't the case here.
Having first heard of D.D Dumbo via NPR's brilliant field recording's series, I was intrigued to hear more of his rhythmic, guitar driven music and to see for myself just how his approach to live performance works.
Judging by his sparse between-song-chatter D.D Dumbo (Oliver Perry off stage) is a fairly unassuming guy. Soft spoken, polite and funny. The songs themselves though are complex, clever, and driven by almost irresistible grooves and rhythms. A lone figure on stage, Perry creates these layered and vibrant tunes from scratch using 2 drums, a modified Danelectro 12 string guitar, a loop pedal and a microphone.

Hiding In Plain Sight: The Low Sales Of The Ramones
A few months ago, Tommy Ramone passed away. The last surviving member of the original line-up of the Ramones. I could write here about the history of the band, talk about the hey-day of New York Punk, debate whether it started in America or England and go over hundreds of other points that I have far less knowledge than some other people might. Suffice to say that Tommy Ramone was a vital member of the band and without him, rock music would not be what it is today, but I'll leave the biographies and tributes to people who know more about Tommy than me. For example, Jon Wurster of Superchunk and Bob Mould's band wrote a really nice piece about Tommy and the band.
What struck me about the death of Tommy Ramone (Thomas Erdelyi outside of the band) was that he was the last living Ramone who played on the band's first record, 1976's "Ramones". More shockingly, he was the only member who was alive to see it sell enough copies to be certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The record passed that milestone just a few weeks before his death. It's the only Ramones album, aside from 'best of' compilations, to have sold enough copies to qualify.

Podcast: My Conversation With Marika Hackman
I've been a fan of Marika Hackman's for a while. Ever since I was introduced to her particular blend of smart, literate folk and electronica, I've been interested in hearing her where she goes next. The thing that always intrigued me most about her was the dark, violent content of her lyrics and imagery which contrasted so well with her almost fragile voice. The tone of her music is complex and brooding but there is always melody and subtlety enough to to keep it from becoming a hard listen.

Speaks Louder Than Words - Tim From Transgressive
Speaks Louder Than Words is the podcast I produce and edit. Strangely, I've never really felt the need to mention it on Some Call It Noise before as, in my head at least, the two have always been very separate. The podcast is part of my work life. It's produced for Warner/Chappell Music and deals solely with Warner/Chappell artists and writers. The blog on the other hand is a personal thing, about music that is important to me regardless of where it comes from. The reason that I'm sharing the podcast on Some Call It Noise now is because this latest episode (which includes one of my rare appearances in front of the microphone) is one of the closest the subject matter has come to crossing over.

On Wye Oak's New Direction
Last week saw a flurry of activity and announcements from Wye Oak. The band, originally from Baltimore but now spread across the USA, have announced the release of their fourth studio album, Shriek, on April 29th and the first track to be released from it, "The Tower", has been played on various radio stations and podcasts and a video has been doing the rounds online.
Last year, when discussing the new album, Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack revealed that it would feature no guitars. This news came despite an August 2012 concert broadcast by NPR where the band debuted 2 new songs, both very heavy on guitar and both astonishingly good. However in the year and a half since then, the band has progressed and those songs seem to have fallen by the wayside.

Midnight Mass
The 'Private Visit'.
Christmas Day dawned gloriously, both weather and family wise, starting with a small family visit to my mother in her 'care home'. She was so nicely dressed in her new Christmas clothes that I had laid out for her. She and her fellow residents were also very well attended by smiling and polite staff who, having left their own families at home, faced a long shift that day. We were grateful to them, and to the fact that my mam was in such great form and enjoyed her Christmas dinner with such relish. She is quite the miracle. This was yet another Christmas we weren't supposed to have and, whatever is to come, I will have the lovely memories of this special visit for always.
Peace and Calm
Some Christmas Day winter sun made for such lovely views to instill some inner peace and calm on our travels that day....
Family Time
The family time continued with time spent with other close family members. Sumptuous and plentiful food was accompanied by both flowing wine and conversation and such lovely company. It really was the most enjoyable and relaxing way to spend both Christmas and St Stephen's Day.
No matter how enjoyable the Christmas was - and it really was - there is nothing like finally coming home sweet home. To enjoy another lovely quick stroll and flop around in sweats to enjoy more food and some festive TV viewing.
And yes, there were some lovely presents, even if the 'Santa' online order did go horribly wrong and has yet to arrive, but there's more to Christmas than all that.
I hope the teen festive memory bank is awash this year and that his patience is rewarded.
And wherever you are I do hope you had a lovely Jazzy Christmas too!
Note: I doubt there's an #RTBC blog hop this week, and if there is I can't find it! I'm going ahead with this anyway as I do feel cheerful..... and very grateful.
UPDATE: I was so cheered by and grateful for my Christmas this year that I've been quite cheeky and tagged this post onto the New Year's #R2BC Linky over at Ojo's World!
I've already written my New Year's post and wish you all a positive 2015 with many, many reasons to be cheerful....
Take care,

Last June, despite having the best defense in the NHL, and the best goaltender, the Nashville Predators lost the Stanley Cup. Subban, Josi, and Ellis and Ekholm lost the Stanley Cup to a group of defensemen that would not crack the top four on any of the top six or seven defenses in the NHL.
Mostly, it wasn't their fault. They lacked the forwards to win. They also lacked the experience to win. With one trade, they can fix the first, and use what the learned last year to make up for the latter.
Early in the summer they signed Nick Bonino. He's a perfect third center. In Ryan Johansen they have their number one center. As currently constituted they do not have the right number two. They do have the pieces to get him.
Right now, the Predators have all their picks in the first two rounds for each of the next three years. They also have solid, NHL worthy prospects who won't make the roster in the next two years. If they put together a package with two or even three of Dante Fabbro, Vladislav Kamenev, Tyler Moy, Frederic Allard, and Pontus Aberg and some picks, they can land the center they need.
The Matt Duchene drama is in desperate need of an ending. The Predator's may not be the ideal trade partner, but the Avalanche have spent over a year rejecting good and fair trades from all over the NHL. This is lending speed to the sinking of Joe Sakic's creditability as an NHL general manager.
If they line up Johansen, Duchene, and Bonino as their top three centers they become the best team at center in the west. With the addition of Duchene's speed and passing ability, they are quite likely to cover all of the loss of James Neal's offense. Maybe, just maybe a little more.
If Alexei Emelin can stop their third pairing from being a sieve, and they add Matt Duchene, they Nashville Predators become not just deeper, better, more balanced team from first line to third. They become the best team in the National Hockey League, and he has this and another season under contract.
Check out this week's Two Man ForeCheck.

Currency Comments following the Budget 24th March 2011
Sterling fell by 0.8% against the US dollar yesterday as Chancellor George Osborne lowered the estimate for UK economic growth to 1.7% this year from a previous forecast of 2.1%. Inflation is also expected to remain between 4% and 5% which raises the possibility that we could be looking at a period of "stagflation". Heading into yesterday, sterling had been buoyed by higher than expected inflation and an anticipation of an earlier than expected interest rate hike. However, the Bank of England minutes showed no changes to last month's voting and the Budget delivered a downgraded growth forecast – both of which contributed to sterling's drop. Retail sales data released this morning has also come in worse than expected.

Okay, so I'm gonna go a little Sex and the City right here…
I just got back from lunch where I overheard some college-girls talking, the most interesting snippit of which was, "Come on, it's just college. Get over it."
I'm sure I didn't get the full context, but that doesn't really mater. What does matter is that it reminded me of a conversation from the other night between my roommate and a pizza guy who comes to visit our apartment when he has breaks from the pizza shop sometimes.
As two, dare I say, attractive and intelligent girls, one of our main criteria for dating a guy is his intelligence. My roommate, unfortunately, labeled her qualification as a college degree. The pizza guy took offense to this as he has no such thing (although he's happily married with kids), but he's done very well for himself running the pizza shop.
His main point was that a silly piece of paper saying you went to a school where you spent at least 60% of your time being drunk shouldn't be the single qualifier for an acceptable boyfriend/husband.
Her main point was that, as a person with a college degree it would be difficult for her to have much in common with someone who hadn't had the college experience, which in her mind is mainly the liberal arts experience where you learn a little about everything and eventually focus on one thing.
And I agree with both, of course. Not that I would reject someone just because they hadn't gotten their B.A. or what have you. I dated a guy in college who was a drop-out. But it didn't end well, showing my roommate's point that someone who thrives on new information can't realistically spend the rest of their life with someone who cared more about bars and video games. BUT that's not to say that you can't love bars and video games and still be an interesting, intelligent person.
I think what we all eventually agreed is that you've got to be able to talk to your significant other, and discover new things with them.
And for my roommate and I, that more than likely means you enjoy reading a book every once in a while.
