Berman Theatre
State: Michigan Completed: 2010
This beautiful, world class theatre is a part of the Jewish Community Center and hosts musicians, theatre performances, lectures and meetings. The project features 22,000 square feet of solid precast panels. The structural wall panels are up to 56' tall. The dove tail finish allowed for a field applied brick finish giving the theatre a traditional look and feel. The project was originally planned as a block structure and was converted to precast due to the time-savings that was possible.
Project Comments:
"The Kerkstra team did a fantastic job with the up-front work and coordinated their work with our steel contractors work. The team always had solutions and not just issues or problems. We saved 6-8 weeks of time by going with precast walls in lieu of block walls."
Berman Theatre
"Many people see precast buildings as pretty simple boxes, where they use cookie-cutter production to make 30 panels that are 15' x 28'. There aren't too many panels on this building that are alike. Almost every panel is a unique size and shape with unique connection points. It really is a credit to the design and to Kerkstra that we were able to get all the benefits of precast, but it wasn't easy for them to work with all of the pieces to the puzzle. Kerkstra solved many problems in the field, but none of these solutions came without real effort. Kerkstra came to the table with solutions rather than saying, 'Hey, I have a problem that you need to solve.'"

Military Power of Attorney
A military POA may serve the same function as any other POA. The principal, or person giving the authority, allows an appointed agent to act on her behalf. The main differences between a military POA and other POAs is that it allows more flexibility in the form, substance and execution of the document. This allows a deployed service member to create the document when it would otherwise be burdensome to do so.
Agent's Duties
A POA may give the agent authority to perform a specific task for the principal, or the authority may be broad. For example, the POA may limit the agent's authority to filing taxes for a specific year or selling one piece of property owned by the principal. Conversely, the document may allow the agent to take care of all of the principal's financial affairs, from paying bills to giving gifts. The POA may provide a specific date on which the authority will expire, or it may provide that the authority continues until the principal revokes it. Additionally, the principal may create a durable POA for health care, which allows the agent to make health care decisions for the principal if she becomes disabled and cannot make decisions for herself.
Creating a Military POA
In order to obtain a POA for your spouse, your spouse must draft the document and include specific language. The document should be labeled as a military POA and provide a statement that the document is exempt from state formalities, but will have the same effect as if the document were created in the state. Additionally, the document must be signed by the principal and notarized by a service member, judge or civilian attorney. Your spouse may contact U.S. Armed Forces Legal Assistance to get assistance with creating a military POA.
State Law Formalities
All states are federally required to recognize a military POA, despite the fact that the POA may not meet the state's usual requirements for such a document. The state may require other POAs to be recorded with the court or notarized by an official state notary. However, so long as the POA meets the requirements for a military POA, it will be recognized in every state.

The Orlando Innamorato in English translation, Book I, Canto V, Stanzas 41-60
Rinaldo instantly repays his foe
With a great backthrust to Gradasso's chest.
Now this way, and now that, the battle goes,
Their ardent spirits swelling in their breasts.
Rinaldo soon decides its time to show
All of his strength. One mighty blow is best.
His shield he casts adown upon the strand,
And lifts Fusberta up with both his hands
With painful fury, with his mind on height,
With full abandon he swings Fusbert down.
Down on the earth he knocks the pennon white,
He drives Fusberta through the golden crown;
Nasal and visor from the helm he smites;
Straight through the shield of bone the blow resounds;
From crest to base the shield in twain was split,.
Fusbert sinks in the earth five finger's width.
The demon sees his opportunity.
He turns his back on him and runs away.
Rinaldo sees him and is filled with glee,
Thinking his foe is weary of the fray.
That cunning scoundrel runs toward the sea;
Rinaldo follows swiftly as he may,
Calling, "O braggart king, oh, wait a bit,
Or on Baiardo's back thou'lt never sit.
Is it a kingly deed to flee from battle?
Art thou not shamed to let me see thy back?
Come back with me to see Baiard, and that'll
Show thee he is no worthless jade or hack.
I shoed him yesterday, and bought a saddle
And harnessings so fine they nothing lack.
Come thou, and take him; he's fit for a lord.
Thou shalt behold him – if thou pass my sword!"
But that false king seems carried by the wind,
So swift he runs, but not a word lets slip.
He jumps into the water, and he swims,
Swift as a dolphin, and climbs on the ship.
Undaunted, Don Rinaldo too jumps in,
And pulls himself up with an iron grip.
When on the deck he stands, he sees his foe,
But ere he strikes him, he leaps down below.
Rinaldo follows, even fiercer now,
Bearing Fusberta with uplifted hand.
The demon scrambles up into the prow.
The ship is swiftly sailing from the land.
Rinaldo notes not how the ship doth plow
The waves. Naught but his fight he understands.
They had gone seven miles ere the sprite
Dissolved in smoke and disappeared from sight.
Rinaldo was astonished to behold
Gradasso vanishing into thin air.
He searched upon the deck; he searched the hold,
But couldn't find his foeman anywhere.
The ropes were trim, the sails were all unrolled,
The ship moved swiftly, for the wind stood fair.
Rinaldo stood upon the deck, alone.
Oh, how that worthy baron made his moan:
"Ah, God of Heaven," said he, "for what crime
Hast thou decreed that I should suffer so?
Though I confess I have sinned many a time,
This penance is too hard to undergo.
Dishonor, long as I shall live, is mine,
For in my mind I have no doubt, I know,
That if to tell this story I desire,
I'll speak the truth, but will be thought a liar.
"My lord with all his army me endowered.
He left his empire within my hands.
Then I, vile, false, and fickle treacherous coward,
I fled to sea and left them on the land.
O, how the heathen troops will be empowered!
I seem to hear the tumult of that band,
I hear my bold companions rush to war,
I see Alfrera kill them by the score.
"Dear Ricciardet, how could I leave a lad
As young as thou amidst thy foes, alone?
And ye, my kin, Gradasso's pris'ners sad,
Guizard, my brave Alardo, and Ivon?
Alas, the fame and honor that I had
When I first came to Spain, they all are flown.
Then was I bold and expert in the fight,
But this shame hath mine honor stolen quite.
"Nought will avail; how can I be excused,
When men shall call me coward to my face?
I, once a paragon, shall be accused
Of being no more a knight, but reprobate.
'Tis by Lanfusa's son I am abused,
By him I've been imprisoned in this place.
He means for me to die in torments great.
I see no way I can avert my fate.
What will they say of me in Charles' court,
When what I've done to all of France is known?
Oh, how Mongrana's house will grieve full sore
To know such traitors were among their own!
How they will triumph, how they'll jest and sport,
Gano, and Pinabello, and Grifon!
Alas, I once could call them traitors base.
No more! For e'en as them am I disgraced."
These words and many more the baron grand
Says as he sadly on the deck laments.
Thrice doth he take his goodly sword in hand,
Thinking of all his woes to make an end.
Thrice on the galley's railing doth he stand;
To jump all armed and drown is his intent.
But ev'ry time his fearing for his soul
Rebukes his wrath and grants him self-control.
The ship so quickly through the waters raced
It had already gone three hundred miles.
No dolphin ever had so swift a pace
As this enchanted ship. After a while,
It turned towards the left and set its face
Eastward, but not to catch the west wind mild,
For magic moved it, and its speed increased
As it set off into the furthest East.
The ship was furnished with all things a fine
Sailing ship ought to have, except a crew.
The holds were filled with finest bread and wine,
But Don Rinaldo had no lust thereto.
He knelt adown and made the holy sign,
And as he prayed, there came into his view
A garden and a place fair to see,
Upon a tiny island in the sea.
But now I wish to leave him in this place,
Where such great marvels all around him pressed,
And sing of Count Orlando for a space.
As I have told you, love so filled his breast
That stoutly to the East he set his face.
Neither by night or day did he take rest,
Only to find Angelica the fair,
But he could hear no tidings anywhere.
The river Don he now has put behind,
And journeys on alone, this baron bold.
All day he rode, but no man did he find,
Until at eve, he met a palmer old.
His beard was gray, and sorely he repined,
Crying, "O Fortune, pitiless and cold!
Thou hast deprived me of my only joy!
I leave thee in God's hands, my darling boy!"
"As may God help thee, pilgrim, tell to me
What is the reason thou lamentest so?"
Thus said Orlando, and then bitterly
The wretch continued to pour out his woe,
Saying, "Alas! A luckless wretch you see.
In but one day I have been brought this low!"
He stopped, o'ercome by grief. Orlando waited
To hear his story, and his breath was bated.
"At the top of this cliff there grows no grass,
Nothing but rocks, and soil red as flame.
I heard a roar from there, but I don't know
From what infernal beast that dread noise came.
Along the base, a rapid river flows,
Spanned by a bridge as black as coal. The same
Is closed to travellers by a diamond gate,
And on a tower thereof a giant waits.

Who Conquered The Romans?
Just as Daniel had predicted, the Babylonian Empire was ultimately conquered by the Persians; the Persians were, in turn, conquered by the Greeks; and, the Greeks were conquered by the Romans. But who conquered the Romans? The Roman Empire ultimately disintegrated into pieces, and each segment seems to have had its "day in the sun." The ensuing struggles for power, and the influx of external tribes into the cohesion that once was Rome, continued over almost two millennia. In our series reviewing the rise of the "New Europe," we'll take a brief glimpse at the caldron that has been stewing with tensions and ambitions for many centuries.

Freckles + Kitty Fall/Winter Dress
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
My little Miss LadyBug is a budding fashionista in her own right! While big sis has the corner market on the edgier side of things, Miss LadyBug loves a comfy, cozy dress year round, and if it has pockets, it has just become her new favorite. So when she received a beautiful new dress from Freckles + Kitty, she had an instant new fave! This is a definite fall or winter dress that is must-have for the girl on the go in your house!
What did we think of the Freckles + Kitty Fall/Winter Dress?
As always, I can count on Freckles + Kitty to have whimsical, well-made and appropriate clothes for little girls! So many outfits for children these days are made very short, low cut, low rise or showing parts that have not even developed. I have made it a mission to keep my girls as little girls and allow them to grow up more organically, versus dressing them like miniature adults – fortunately for me, companies like Freckles + Kitty exist and agree!
This beautiful, long sleeve fall or winter dress is a knit-style that is both breathable, yet warm and really is nice to wear! The purple color is right up Miss LadyBug's alley and I like that both the hood and sleeves add an attractive and complimentary gray color. The pockets and ruffle at the bottom of the dress have a pink and purple plaid that is too adorable for words! Ok, I will find my words – we love the plaid! Such a fun way to introduce more color and a touch of whimsy to the whole style! Of course, Miss LadyBug likes to test dresses for their ability to move about and was showing me her best ballet moves in the dress – she has declared this one, a winner!
While you could definitely make this a fall dress with light tights, by adding leggings and a cute pair of boots, this is the perfect winter dress, too!
The Verdict
If you want clothes for the little girl in your life to be age-appropriate, well-made and super cute – you must check out Freckles + Kitty! You can find several pieces from their upcoming fall and winter line on Zulily right now! You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter to see upcoming designs and sales!

Hello everybody! Time has flown by again and it is time for me to update the happenings of the Eagle family. Mama Jules is doing fantastic and we are so thankful. It has been about 9 months now since her last bout with Cellulitis. The hospital is becoming a distant memory! Yay!
Our entry brings us all the way back to September. September is a crazy birthday month for us. I feel like I was celebrating every weekend!! This includes my own birthday! Woot Woot! My nephew Julian's bday is a couple of days before me…so we headed over to Brooklyn Center as a family to have a little pizza party. Brooklyn Center has the last Rocky Rococo's in MN and it has always been a family favorite. Mmmmmm……Pizza……..
I just LOVE my nephews! They are such wonderful boys!!
So, that weekend I went out for a little birthday celebration for myself with some besties. We got a hotel room and headed over the Nye's in NE Minneapolis for a night on the town! I felt very loved this birthday and always appreciate the love from my family and friends. It always makes getting older a little easier!
Thanks girls for a fun night!
A couple of days later our friend Amy took me out to Pairings for a birthday lunch! Pairings has become a favorite around here! Thank you Amy!
My mom and I got our flu shots from my Brother in Law Ross. He makes sure we always get the preservative free! He probably thinks I am crazy for documenting the moment…but we had fun!
Next up…..Grandpa Eagle came to town for a weekend visit. He is 95 years old and still makes the 10 hour drive from the U.P. to come and see us. We always love having him. He is such a cutie!
A couple of weekends ago Jenna headed to Hollywood to visit a college friend that she danced with. She had a great time and appreciated a girlie weekend away!
Next up: Halloween. My mom and I went over to my Grandpa's assisted living home for their Halloween Happy Hour. I knew that they would be dressing up…so we picked up a witch headband for my gramps. He was reluctant at first, but eventually embraced it. The party was fun & we got to listen to a polka band. My grandpa LOVES music, so he was in heaven. It is fun to see the older people singing to their favorite songs. I think my mom and I fit in pretty well over there!
I managed to make it to a Halloween party of my own. So fun!
Jenna and Ross dressed Jack up as a rufferee. This picture is too cute not to throw in!
And I think that we will end on that adorable note. My mom and I are off to meet some friends at Green Mill. We hope that everybody gets out and votes tomorrow! My mom and I will be hitting the poles. If we can…..you can! And if you live in Minnesota:
Xoxo, Kelly

One of the biggest challenges in remote work is simply making sure everyone has a strong sense of involvement. In this article Steven Baker, a veteran of dispersed agile software development teams, shares his experiences and recommendations for keeping the communication, camaraderie, and personal connections alive in a distributed setting. When you don't occupy the same office for the same period of time every day with your co-workers, you can't walk to your co-worker's desk, or turn around in your chair to have a chat about what you're working on. There is no water cooler to mill around get in the loop on what's happening, and having lunch together is difficult. Differences in location, timezone, and working hours, can all combine to make you and the members of your team disconnected from each other. ThisRead More »
Part two of a conversation between Rob Dempsey of LifeOfTheFreelancer.com and myself. In this part we dig into the intersection of freelancing and distributed teams: the phenomenon of ad-hoc teams composed of independent consultants who come together to work on a specific project.

Everyone needs to take a break from time to time, especially if you've been collaborating closely for an hour or more. But when working together remotely, breaks have a way of stretching out longer than intended. Here's one simple rule for avoiding the Endless Break. It's a common enough scenario: you work together with a coworker for an hour or so, and then you hit a stopping point and decide to take a 5-minute breather. Both of you go for a walk, maybe grab some water, and then head back to the desk and sit down again to get some more work done. When collaborating remotely, it doesn't always work out like that. You get back to your desk, and check your teammate's IM status. It doesn't say "away", but she hasn't posted anything onRead More »
The ability to share your screen with a remote team member is an essential piece of the remote collaboration toolkit. When it comes to screensharing software, there is a dazzling, sometimes baffling array of options. Here are a few I know of. Skype has built-in screensharing. It is currently display-only, but it works across all platforms. They appear to be using the same video compression technology for it as they do for their video chat, which means that while the picture can be a bit blurry, it copes well with temporary network slowdowns. Good old VNC is still one of the most robust and cross-platform solutions for sharing desktop control. There are multiple VNC clients and servers for every OS, both free and paid. DimDim, Yugma, YuuGuu are all launchable from the web, all have names thatRead More »
A short daily meeting is a great way to keep your team members on the same page. But holding a virtual meeting every day can pose special challenges. This article discusses different ways that real dispersed teams handle daily meetings. Almost all of the dispersed teams I've talked to have had some kind of daily meeting during the week in order to say in sync with each other. They usually use the term "daily standup", as popularized by various Agile methodologies, although in my experienced distributed teams don't usually physically stand up during these meetings. This has less to do with a lack of team energy and more to do with being able to be seen on their webcams. The typical format for a daily standup is to go around the "room" and answer theRead More »
A netbook can grant you great freedom in where you work from, but that's just the beginning. In this article I talk about the advantages of using a netbook as your primary videoconferencing device. I recently acquired a Netbook (a Lenovo S10-3t), and with just a week's worth of use it has already made big changes in how I work. Of course, I already knew how useful the netbook would be for "workshifting" – working from wherever I happen to be. While my main workstation is already a laptop, it's a desktop replacement-style laptop so it's on the larger and heavier side. And with an i7 CPU, it tends to go through batteries pretty quickly. The netbook has none of these limitations. There's no excuse left not to answer my email from the kitchen table,Read More »
In part 2 of this series, I talk about why face time is essential; the two types of realtime communication tool which should form the backbone of your day to day interactions as a dispersed team; and why instant messaging can do more harm than good. If you missed Part 1 of this series, you may want to go back and read it. Face Time A little face-to-face communication goes a long way with remote work. A day spent working with a teammate in person can change the whole character of your subsequent online interactions. Before, they were a screen name and an avatar. After working with them in person, with every instant message or email they send you'll have a mental picture of their tone and mannerisms to go with it. People become moreRead More »
Data communications protocols are often divided into a control channel and a data channel. An example from electrical engineering are the "control lines" and "data lines" in an RS-232 connector. The FTP protocol uses a similar arrangement, where a control connection is opened to port 21, and a data connection to port 20. The source of this common pattern is the realization that it is fundamentally difficult to manage a conversation using the same channel you are using to have the conversation. It's hard to say "wait, you're sending me too much information" if the pipe you you need to send that message on is clogged with all that information.

It would be very hard to miss the current trend for metallics in the home, and, like magpies, we're drawn to everything copper and gold here at EHD. There is no easier way of updating or lifting a bland interior than with something new and shiny.
Right now there are so many ways to inject some sparkle into your home. Here's our top five:
1. Lighting. Copper lighting is everywhere. Buy something with a metallic interior and it will infuse your room with a beautiful warm glow. This spun metal shade fromHolloways of Ludlow is just the right look.
2. Bathrooms. This shower is amazing, we love the industrial yet luxurious feel of it. A brass garden tap can look great in the bathroom too. Keep the rest of your bathroom white and plain and let your brassware shine!
3. Furniture. Warm metallic tones are everywhere on furniture at the moment. From flattering rose gold hued mirrors to Tom Dixon's golden tables, a bit of opulence goes a long way. (And if anyone has embraced this trend, it's Tom Dixon). Our current favourites are these Habibi side tables from Nest.co.uk. Start saving your coppers for copper now.
4. Kitchen cabinets. Yes you heard right. I'm not suggesting a Midas inspired golden kitchen (although maybe?!), but accents here are the key. Interior designer Athena Calderone's golden trimmed units are inspired, and the powder blue grey is looking great with the gold. So grown up and smart. (Check out the gold inside the lights again as well. Looks gorgeous).
5. Wallpaper. Birds and bees, geometrics and patterns, beautiful wallpapers with foils and metallic elements are everywhere right now. A brilliant way to add opulence and glamour to any room. Our current crush is on Cole and Son's Hick's Hexagon gold and grey colourway. We'd use it in a bedroom, even in a bathroom above half height tiles… in fact, watch this space and you'll see it in an EHD project very soon!

Lim Kit Siang clears the air over Perak statement
As reported by Malaysiakini:
The crisis which developed yesterday over the appointment of a PAS menteri besar in a DAP-led Perak state assembly seemed to have been resolved today.I was amazed at a few things.
DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang who rejected the appointment of a PAS candidate today apologised for any offence caused to the Perak royalty over his statement.
"My three-paragraph statement at 7pm last night that the DAP central executive committee emergency meeting on March 9 had not given approval for a PAS mentri besar to head a Perak coalition state government was not made out of disrespect to the Perak sultan and regent, both whom I have always held in the highest regard and I apologise for any offence caused," he said.
"The statement was on the party position at the time. There have been further discussions and developments on the matter in the hours after the statement. Announcements of the latest position will be made."
Full article: Malaysiakini.com
The Star was quick to report that there was a mutiny of sorts in DAP over Lim Kit Siang's orders for the DAP assemblymen to boycott the swearing in ceremony. As I predicted, Lim's statement became fodder for the pro-government media to heap dirt on the opposition even before they have a chance to prove their mantle at leading the state of Perak.
MCA's Ong Ka Chuan had something to say too:
DAP has cheated its voters as a PAS state assemblyman will be sworn in as the Perak mentri besar today, Perak MCA chief Datuk Ong Ka Chuan said.
Ong, who is also the MCA secretary-general, said DAP should apologise to its voters, saying it was sad to hear that Perak PAS secretary Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin will be the mentri besar.
He said Mohammad's appointment went against the wishes of voters, especially non-Muslims.
"Having a mentri besar from PAS creates fear among non-Muslims. This also creates political instability."
Article: The Star.
When the BN was leading, the Chief Minister's post was held by a non-Chinese. Why make it an issue now? Playing on the race and religion card was what made the people angry at BN and having politicians drumming up the same things after the election would not help the cause of BN to win over support.
Some things never change and some people never learn.

A number of changes in Gandhi's personal life soon impacted his growing celebrity. The first was his achievement of Brahmacharya, or the voluntary abstention from sexual relations. This was not an uncommon Hindu practice among men in their forties and fifties, who gradually cease sexual activity once they have had enough children to satisfy the demands of custom, family and caste, but Gandhi adopted the practice between 1901 and 1906, when he was in his thirties. He seems to have regarded it as part of his quest for selflessness and restraint in all aspects of life; in his writings, he suggests that as a young man he succumbed too easily to lust, and recounts how he failed to be with his father when he died because he was making love to his wife, a lapse of duty for which he never forgave himself. Whether or not Gandhi's decision was based on pure principle–amateur psychologists have speculated exhaustively about alternative motives–suffice it so say that from 1906 onward, with Kasturbai's consent (she was physically frail at this point, and may have welcomed his decision) Gandhi was almost entirely celibate.
At the same time, Gandhi read for the first time John Ruskin's book Unto This Last, which maintained that the life of labor–that is, of work done with the hands, rather than machines–was superior to all other ways of living. Gandhi was convinced by the argument, and he considered this new idea the final piece to his personal philosophy. He quickly applied Ruskin's belief to his personal life, abandoning Western dress and habits, and moving his family and staff to a farm in the Transvaal that he called the Phoenix Settlement. There he strove to live the life that Ruskin's book urged–after some time, he even gave renounced the use of an oil-powered engine and printed Indian Opinion by hand-wheel. From that point on, he conceived of his political work not in terms of a modernization of India, but as a restoration of the old Indian virtue and civilization that had been lost to Western materialist and industrialist influences. He imagined a utopia in which handlooms and spinning wheels would provide all the power, rendering engines and electricity superfluous; correspondingly, he and his extended family soon began using these traditional implements on his own farmstead.
Thus arose an unlikely religio-political celebrity–a crusader against injustice who renounced both sexual pleasure and the entire modern world. To this mix of traits was added his philosophy of political protest, which soon gained a name: Satyagraha. Taken literally, it meant "truth-force" in Sanskrit, but in practical terms, it meant a refusal to obey unjust authority. In 1906 it was put to the test within a few years of being coined, 1906 being the same year that Gandhi made his final renunciation of sex and entered fully into Brahmacharya. The Transvaal government had made plans to register every Indian over the age of eight, making them an official section of the population. The Indian community called a mass meeting on September 8 of that year, and there Gandhi asked the whole community to take a vow of disobedience to the law. He warned them that it might mean torture and death–but everyone present took the vow.
The law went into effect in July of 1907, after the Transvaal attained self- government, and the resolve of the Indian population was quickly proven. Gandhi was among the first to appear before a magistrate for his refusal to register, and he was sentenced to two months in prison. He asked for a heavier sentence– a characteristic act of Satyagraha–and devoted his time in jail to reading. After his release, the campaign went on. A compromise proposed by Jan Smuts, an Afrikaner hero in the Boer War and now Prime Minister of the Transvaal, fell apart when Smuts broke his word to Gandhi.
Indians burned their registration cards, crossed the Transvaal-Natal border without passes, and went to jail in large numbers. In 1908, Gandhi went to jail again: this time his reading included the writings of the American Henry David Thoreau, most notably his impassioned essay "Civil Disobedience," which spoke directly to Gandhi's plight. He emerged from prison resolved to continue resistance for as long as necessary.
In the end, the struggle would last until 1913. Gandhi went to London in 1909, and managed to drum up enough support among the British to convince Smuts to eliminate the odious registration law. But the Transvaal's Prime Minister, despite his growing respect for Gandhi, still wanted to relegate the Indian population to second-class status. (Possibly he did not personally desire their subjugation; however, given the views of his supporters, he had no other choice.) The final struggle was joined in 1913, with the refusal of the white government in Natal to lift the crippling poll tax, and a Supreme Court decision in the Cape Colony that made all non-Christian marriages illegal–which, in effect, made all Indian wives into mistresses and all their children into bastards. Gandhi now organized satyagraha on a massive scale: women volunteered to cross the Natal-Transvaal border illegally; when they were arrested, five thousand Indian coal miners went on strike. Gandhi took command of this "army" and led them across the Natalese border, courting arrest.

Andrews|June 8, 2012 ShareBy Julie D. Andrews|June 8, 2012 Share There's no downtime for Facebook, and when you consider its 900-million-plus monthly average users, more than one-half of which access the social network via mobile devices, this makes sense.Speaking at a social media panel in Toronto this week, Dave Caputo, chief executive officer of Waterloo, Ontario-based networking equipment company Sandvine, said:We are finding that 50 percent of smartphones are actually connecting to Facebook every hour of every day. (This is) not surprising when you see Facebook icons on the home pages of most websites.Are you surprised by that statistic? You probably shouldn't be? After all, how often do users actually log out of Facebook when using their own mobile devices? In other words, if a user recently accessed Facebook on their smartphone, unless they completely closed out the application or rebooted their device, they are still logged in.The network data were captured from Sandvine's more than 200 communications service provider customers and combined in biannual reports known as Global Internet Phenomena, the company said in a release on its site, adding:Facebook is a highly valued application with predictable data volumes that require a minimum amount of bandwidth. This is the perfect scenario to implement tiered service plans that offer price certainty for subscribers and cost certainty for service providers.Readers: Did the findings by Sandvine cause you to raise an eyebrow?Image courtesy of Shutterstock.

The book Success Made Simple by Erik Wesner was mistitled. While it's true there are many examples of great simplicity in the book, simple is hard. There is no Amish formula for business success per se. They are as much seeker and students as the rest of us. Some of the success secrets they have found are those being rediscovered and taught in modern management:
"They're not necessarily included with big decisions," says an Amish business owner, discussing the importance of having mentors and sounding boards, "but they can be very helpful in improving efficiency and operations on the ground. Employees often have a unique vantage point to access whether a given change is achieving what it was intended to, and whether other issues have been created as a result."
Here he talks about the need to create a blame-free culture.
"You employees need to [be] sure that they can tell you something needs to be changed, without thinking that you're going to think badly of them, or retaliate."
Making a safe environment to give their improvement ideas is not enough, management must also proactively demonstrate that they care, and ask:
"At the same time, it's important to actually ask them, too. Because some guys… will know something, and won't tell you, unless you ask them. Just because they don't think you care, or don't have time to listen."
The book makes its biggest impression illustrating the humility of the Amish people, and how this humility is at the source of their success. Their commitment to their community, their faith, their families and the well-being of their fellow man provide a firm grounding for their business practices, making their success seem simple.

Transform now to stay relevant
"Quality is the best business plan." – John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer – Pixar Animation Studios
In today's IT landscape, even brief outages and performance issues can yield poor customer experiences, and the penalties for these failures can be steep. Though it is imperative for IT teams to maximize service performance, they are finding it increasingly difficult to achieve that result. To that end, their current tools and approaches may be working against them.
Traditional NOCs supported the less complex, on-premises environments of the past. For the dynamic and hybrid environments of today, IT teams cannot operate in a reactive manner which affects business performance. That's why it's critical for organizations to move from a traditional setup into a future-ready NOC.
What is NOC transformation?
A NOC transformation is designed to provide stability, accessibility, security, flexibility and disaster recovery for the organization. NOC transformation ensures efficiency and predictability in the day-to-day business operations.
The need to stay ahead of the competition calls for advanced techniques to manage network complexity while meeting aggressive Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Having the "right" technology partner who can assist you in this transformation makes all the difference.
6 critical signs that warrant a NOC transformation
The necessity to opt for a NOC transformation comes from the realization that the organization has not been meeting critical business objectives. Some of the warning signs include -increase in IT operational expenses, low focus on service experience versus a high emphasis on network performance and decreasing profits. The other critical signs that make a NOC transformation imperative are:
- Siloed and event-focused monitoring
- Reactive issue remediation
- Tedious and error-prone manual configurations
- Sub-optimal use of expert resources for firefighting
- Difficulty in hiring, training and retaining the right talent
- Inability to scale with the changing business requirements
Learn how NetEnrich's NOC transformation helped a leading Avaya MSP

One of the best recent discoveries I've made is homemade parathas. They are surprisingly easy to make and are always a big hit with my in-house 'customers'. It's a nice change from the usual rice and pasta, and is the perfect accompaniment to jazz up a simple curry.
It's a big favourite with Nathan, and I've found it to be one of the most effective ways to entice his somewhat fussy palate. Everything seems to taste nicer with a side of paratha.
Here is the recipe:
1 1/2 cups of plain or wholemeal flour (plus extra for dusting)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water (approx 150 ml)
1/2 cup grated cheddar/tasty cheese (for the filling)
Mix and knead the flour, salt and water together until it forms a dough. Pinch off and roll the dough into equal sized portions about the size of your palm.
Form a little hollow in the centre of each ball. Fill with grated cheese, then pinch the edges together to seal it up.
Sprinkle some flour over and roll out the cheese-filled dough balls into flat round discs. Take care not to let the cheese filling squish out of the dough.
Heat up your pan, drizzle some oil over, then cook the parathas as you would with a pancake. Allow to cook a minute on one side until lightly flecked with golden brown spots, then flip over and cook the other side. The paratha will puff up slightly while cooking.
Serve with your favourite curry or enjoy it just as it is.

Tip: when writing business content, write to 20 people
The other day I was doing a social media coaching session and I really wanted to explain the notion of "what works".
What doesn't work is starting something digitally, be it a blog, a Twitter feed or a podcast without having a goal.
We have come up with a simple way to determine success, and it starts with who.
Picture 10 – 20 people you want to touch
Before even beginning to create content, pick 20 people or job titles or caricatures of people who you want the content to touch. You should have an idea what these people care about, and how your content can help them. You should find pictures if possible of those 20 people and have them close at hand. Take a little time to research them on LinkedIn or Google. Find out what they care about and begin to create an archive of knowledge aimed directly at them.
When one becomes a client, talk to that person about the content you have online. Ask them, briefly, what worked and what didn't. Then add another person to the list of 20.
Keep that list of 20 people as your who. Then figure out how to measure it.
A really clever person I know once started a blog to get content to just 3 people. He wanted to attract 3 journalists, and he wanted his blog to inform them. In setting that goal, he also had to determine how he was going to measure whether they were reading it. Being clever, he thought outside the metrics box and decided to ask them directly if they were reading his blog.
Goal achieved.
You can do that as well. If you have the e-mail address of one of your 20, you could e-mail them a piece of content and ask for their feedback.
Archived knowledge.
Archived content, or archived knowledge comes in handy when you're at a real-life event with one of your 20 people. You see them, strike up a conversation about the thing you are an expert in, casually let them know there is a place to read more about this very topic. "You should see the blog post I did title "what you care about in your business", why don't I send that to you?"
You use other methods to land one of your 20 people (marketing, etc). The firm finally gets a meeting. That person will Google you. And when they do, they will see your archive of knowledge. Since you will have written it in a way that speaks to his or her needs, it will enhance your expertise standing with that person.
Note: they might not Google you today. But they will in 1-3 years. That is, if they aren't using LinkedIn to find you already.
Once you have the who, the content is easier to create. Then you just have to figure out where you will create content. More on that this week.

Agreed, this is a great way to consider 'what' to write about and 'why' to write it.
I also look at it from the context of tagging. How would someone tag my work (ie. Google Reader, StumbleUpon, Delicious) so they could retrieve it quickly later. That helps me in focusing my work.
Good Hunting.

We all know that these cars were badged also as Volkswagen as Porsche wanted to test the waters to check if the market would appreciate something different from the iconic 911. Actually Porsche made a great job with this car but, unfortunately, the 911 was not yet ready to leave the scepter to another car.
So these have been considered the poor man's Porsche: the truth is that this car is better than the 911 in many ways. The middle-mounted engine, the ultra low center of gravity and the "modern" lines make this car still good now, and indeed more and more people have begun to appreciate it, especially during the last 10 years.
This specimen looks really good, especially for the color combo: we find that the black on tan fits perfectly this car which, by the way, is said to be a matching number 914-6 and that's a rare thing as many of these engine have been broken and then replaced during the past years. The underside looks dry and we suppose that this is a car which could be joined as is, maybe just after a major service. Find it for sale at $54,500 here in Los Angeles, CA.

As the opening guitar chords of The Tallest Man on Earth's "Love is All" jar me awake I seriously question why I thought it would be a good idea to set out for the climb at 2 am. The rest of my body seems to be just as upset as my brain, with my arms and legs begging me not to leave the warmth and comfort of my bed. The fog that blankets my thoughts reminds me of the fantastic decision made last night to join my roommates in the typical weekend revelry. Despite the protests from my body and mind, I get myself out of bed and hobble over to the bathroom. A disheveled and bloodshot individual greets me in the mirror. As I stumble my way around the house, gathering gear and donning layers of wool and polyester, I have more time to contemplate why I am putting myself through this. The true irony of the situation hits as my climbing partner and I walk out the door just as my roommates are returning from the night out. We briefly exchange comments and I can't help but empathize with their serious confusion as to why on earth we are waking up at a time when the majority of the city is either asleep or attempting to put together a slurred conversation with the pizza delivery guy.
In spite of the many reasons to stay inside and drift back off to sleep, we get in the car and set off for the mountains. Too tired to make coffee, and with no shops open, we take our time in truly waking up and preparing for what's ahead. Henry, my climbing partner, long-time friend, and constant fueler-of-stoke, puts on some Beach House and we cruise quietly up highway 34 toward Rocky Mountain National Park. We do not pass a single car while the sharp bends of the Big Thompson Canyon help force us awake as we talk about the details of today's climb.
As we pull into the Bear Lake trailhead, we are joined by only 3 other cars whose passengers seem to be fast asleep. I crawl through the car, dragging my pack and boots across the seats and contorting my legs as I pull them on in a futile effort to remain inside the warm confines of Henry's Outback for as long as possible. I eventually run out of layers to zip up and gear to double check and am forced to step out into the cold. As we step into our snowshoes, we are finally no longer thinking about our beds, and set off on the trail.
The trail to the base of the climb today is very mild compared to the Longs Peak trail, one for which Henry and I have a very special hatred. If it weren't for the hard boot-packed snow covering the trail, there would have been no sign of any other human activity. The beams of our headlamps bob around, leading us up and through the forest, along a couple lakes, and eventually depositing us at the shore of Emerald Lake. While taking a break before heading up the snowfield at the base of the climb, we exchanged comments about how we may have actually woken up too early, with the sun still hiding behind the front range below us. However, as we began hauling ourselves up the slope, the orange hint of a sunrise begins to greet us, and navigation up the bowl becomes increasingly easier.
sunrise from the rest point
After a few hundred feet, we arrive at the base of the rock formation dividing our ascent route, The Dragon's Tooth, from our descent route, The Dragon's Tail. As we stash our snowshoes and poles and grab our crampons and ice tools, the vague introduction to the sunrise has become a vibrant show that demanded our attention. I found myself snapping pictures every minute, with the light becoming more beautiful with each moment. With our packs lightened, crampons fastened, and phones' storage space decreasing, we head up the steepening slope to the climb.
Henry gearing up before the climb
The Dragon's Tooth was described as a moderate snow climb with some mixed climbing, and was actually only supposed to be the introduction to a harder mixed climb that we would never find. I was extremely grateful that the snow had consolidated and my boots did not sink much past my ankle. I couldn't help but smile as we cruised up the couloir, thinking of the several hours we had spent postholing in chest-deep powder a few weeks back on Longs Peak. Despite snow climbing being a somewhat mundane and often negative aspect of alpine climbing, I could not have been happier. With each methodic kick step and plunge of an ice tool, I remain in awe of my current situation. I was surrounded by jagged rock peaks, climbing up a snow and ice filled couloir with the sun rising behind me. I was sure my high school self would never have imagined this being a possibility. Waking up at 2 was starting to become more and more reasonable.
Henry making his way up the couloir
We soon arrive at the base of the crux section, and rope up. The guidebook stated that a mummified elk carcass blocked the easiest route up, which served as a somber reminder to me of the consequences up here. Henry leads the way, tactfully working his way up and around the large rock that blocked the couloir at the crux. I follow, much less delicately and much more slowly. I am slightly disappointed to find that the elk seems to be buried under the snow and not visible, because how badass would my snapchat story be if it was of me climbing over a dead elk right?? Despite their utmost importance, my preoccupations with my social media presence are soon replaced by thoughts of how to get over the boulder. After several minutes of grunting and anxiety caused by the deteriorating sugar snow beneath me, I hump my way over the boulder and we continue on. The route meanders over varied rock and snow, and we continue to wonder where on earth the other climb is supposed to be. Deciding that it must just be further up, we push up, but soon arrive at the summit ridge.
I guess it's called Flattop for a reason
At this point we are a bit puzzled, but still happy with the ascent. We also notice something that had been absent for the rest of the climb- wind. We are immediately made grateful that the couloir had shielded us from the wind as the gusts on the ridge attempt to blow us over. After scrambling to the true summit of Flatttop, we head down the ridge to the top of Dragon's Tail. The sun is now blasting this couloir, and we decide that we should be efficient in descending due to changing snow conditions. Even with the awkward stumbling and kicking that is downclimbing, I am still super stoked with our situation. 2 am continues to become a better decision.
On our descent, we pass a party of splitboarders, which further cements my decision to save up for a touring ski setup for next year. Skier's tracks taunt us as we slowly kick step our way down the snow. When the slope becomes more gradual, we drop on our butts and glissade down the snow as much as we can. Arriving at the base of the dividing formation, I dislodge the vast amount of snow that has accumulated under my jacket back during the slide. We swap crampons for snowshoes, and head down to the lake.
As we passed what seems like hundreds of hikers snapping pictures at the lake, I barely recognize the trail that we had come up at 4 in the morning. Walking past groups of people wearing uggs and sporting vineyard vines shirts, I can't help but feel pretty cool as I hike past them with two ice axes strapped to my back. I mean, even in Colorado where climbing is fairly common, how can you not feel cool when you're walking around with steel spikes attached to every extremity? Finally arriving at the car, I can't help but feel a little confused, or out of place. We had been up for 9 hours now, but it wasn't even noon. Also, unlike the majority of my other alpine climbing experiences, my body did not feel completely broken. In fact, I'd say that the type 1 fun actually outnumbered the type 2 for this experience. As we cruise back down to Fort Collins and dream about what giant meal we would consume when we arrive, I sit thinking about those opening chords of "Love is All", and could not be more grateful.

It's not long before Isabella finds herself superglued to Zoe's back! The girls demand that Jake help them get the glue off, and he suggests they could try fucking to see if that helps.

It shouldn't be much of a surprise that most people the world over consider breakfast to be a very important meal. And even though today's busy lifestyles mean that it often gets neglected or hastily taken, consumer research shows that folks wish they had more opportunity to eat well before heading out for the day.
Many try to make up for it at the weekend, treating themselves to a leisurely meal, either home-cooked or, increasingly, eating out. And every culture usually has its breakfast specialities, influenced by the rigours of the environment or traditional work. From a humble bowl of well-made porridge with apple and cinnamon to a plate of idli (an Indian steamed bread) with fragrant sambar or a full English breakfast, breakfast is as diverse and as culturally rich as you want it to be!
The Flexicover Team discovers some real taste sensations for those wanting to eat local on their travels!
The Dutch are famous for their plate-sized hearty pancakes, which make a great breakfast or part of brunch. Often a combination of sweet and savoury, they're popular amongst locals and tourists alike, with toppings like apples and bacon to tempt the taste buds. Served with a dark syrup (stroop), they're a must try when visiting. Or, in keeping with their penchant for sweet breakfasts, indulge in the wide variety of chocolate toppings for bread and toast, everything from spreads to sprinkles!
On weekends, breakfast here is a big affair. A typical breakfast consists of Turkish tea or coffee, a variety of cheeses, including the must-have white cheese (beyaz peynir), tomatoes, cucumber, jam, honey, boiled eggs, olives and a basket of fresh breads. Folks like to take their time over a good, hearty meal, more so if it's a family breakfast. If you are in a hotel or café, you'll get a selection of eggs, often cooked with sausage (sucuk) or scrambled with onions, peppers and tomatoes (menemen) for a real treat that's sure to keep you full until dinner!
The 'go to' traditional breakfast here is nasi lemak, sometimes considered the national dish of Malaysia. It consists primarily of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk, scented with pandan leaf and served with a variety of accompaniments. You'll find it served by most food stalls, restaurants and hotels with exact ingredients varying on the time of day it's eaten but for breakfast, it's usually topped with eggs, anchovies, peanuts and a spicy sambal (light curry). For a really hearty start to your day you can't go wrong here!
No Brazilian breakfast is complete without coffee! Café-da-manhã ('breakfast') literally means "morning coffee". The day starts with pingado (warm milk) and sweetened coffee, which is usually served in a glass. Cuisine varies by region but common breakfast staples include pão na chapa (skillet toasted French baguette) with butter and jam and sometimes cheeses and hams too. The wide variety of tropical fruits available also graces the breakfast table, so most will also have papaya or pineapple and some kind of fruit juice to kick off the day.
There is one key ingredient to the Aussie breakfast and that's vegemite, usually on toast! A pot of this sticky, salty, brown extract (that's similar to Marmite) can usually be found in most cafés and households. Special breakfasts nowadays hark back to the time before refrigeration was commonplace and the traditional breakfast was grilled steaks and fried eggs. Coffee is also popular and some mix it with native wattle seed, which gives it a unique nutty, chocolaty flavour!
Wherever your travels take you this year and whatever delicious breakfast foods you are fortunate enough to dine on, we at Flexicover Team are committed to providing you the highest level of protection to ensure that you are safe and secure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year when away.
Safe travels!

What is the Lightroom Express? For starters, Adobe Lightroom is the go-to digital photo editor that offers powerful processing with a sleek interface, it's a great partner to Adobe Photoshop as it primarily focuses on photo processing from library organization to exporting with watermark management. But if you're a busy person and have other things to do, for example you're a travel photographer – if you can't work on your desk with a laptop or just want to quickly sift and edit through photos without needing to whip out the notebook or ultrabook, Adobe has a mobile version for iOS and Android users.
Lightroom Express Can Easily Handle Your RAW Images
Most photo editors on mobile devices differ slightly from one another offering very similar editing tools it seems that most of them are copies of the same app; for Lightroom Express, it includes the basic tools found on most free apps on the market but it goes beyond. Aside from tools the UI is sleek, albeit intimidating at first but once you get the hang of it, it's actually clean and easy to work with, especially for a mobile environment. The iPad version requires iOS 8.1 and up and some features require you to use an Adobe account. The UI is presented in dark colors with a professional feel to it, upon opening the app, users of the desktop app will be familiar with the file importing steps. For the mobile version, if you didn't have any photos loaded yet, the top bar has a "+" button to let you browse your files for your desired photo. Upon selecting the photo you're brought to the editor screen. On the bottom row you'll find options for file flagging and rating, as well as your basic tools such as crop, color options or presets, edit photo parameters, and local adjustment tools such as the healing brush, etc. On the top row you'll find the export button and that's it for the UI.
Features include the aforementioned compatibility with RAW camera files which allow you to work with image parameters at a higher level as opposed to jpeg files. The RAW file compatibility is one of the more hardcore features of Lightroom for mobile, more casual features include preset filters under the presets tool on the photo edit UI which allows you to quickly stylize your post processed photos with filters. The interface makes use of multi-finger gestures such as two finger tapping on the image shows the histogram while tap and hold shows the original image for a quick comparison.
Lightroom Express is a great app to have if you're a serious photographer because it doesn't come free from the store, the tool suite plus the all-important RAW compatibility makes it an indispensable tool for on-the-go photographers. However, if you're a more casual user, there's plenty of free apps on the market with decent editing capability.

Pat Green and Aaron Watson
Wed, February 27, 2019
Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm
9:30 Club
Washington, DC
Pat Green - (Set time: 9:45 PM)
One of the most influential modern stars in Texas' long country-music tradition, Pat Green has left a mark on the lives of countless fans and generations of artists, helping to solidify a cultural movement bringing artists from the Lonestar state to the national stage along the way.
The problem is, he's always been too modest to admit it.
Now with the release of Dancehall Dreamin': A Tribute to Pat Green, the legendary troubadour has no choice in the matter. He's being saluted by those who know him best – artists like Jack Ingram, Randy Rogers Band and more – with a surprise album meant to highlight some of the icon's best-loved songs.
"I certainly didn't see it coming," Green says of the honor. "For my friends to do this for me, I just immediately felt like 'Wow, what an incredible thing.' I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude, and I know I would do this for each and every one of them."
Conceived as a heartfelt gift for Green's 46th birthday, Dancehall Dreamin' looks back over a career which has put the star at the vanguard of Texas country. Since 1995, Green has released 13 albums (12 recorded in studio and one live), and sold more than two million records, racking up a staggering 12 Number Ones on the Texas Radio chart (including his most-recent single, "Drinkin' Days"). Green has also released ten Billboard radio hits and has placed songs like "Wave on Wave" in the Top Five of Billboard's Country Airplay chart.
He's been nominated for three Grammy awards and is still regarded as one of the most electrifying entertainers on tour, covering millions of miles and filling venues like the historic Gruene Hall and the massive Houston Astrodome with equal ease. Even mainstream stars like Willie Nelson, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and Dave Matthews have taken Green out on the road, recognizing the mass appeal of his everyday anthems, dedicated to the simple joys and inevitable heartbreaks of the American experience.
In short, Green has been instrumental in putting Texas country on the map, paving the way for scores of other artists who share his passion for authenticity. And now it's time for them to say 'thank you.'
"I'm really terrible at taking compliments," Green admits, flattered by his first tribute project. "The funny thing is, all I did was lean as far forward over my skis and take as many chances as I could until something happened, and the end result is this almost 25-year-long career. But if my work made it easier for other people to do theirs, well then, it was my pleasure."
Three years in the making, Dancehall Dreamin' features 10 of Green's trailblazing songs performed by peers and protégés alike. Ingram and Rogers are joined by Texas standard-bearers William Clark Green, John Baumann, Josh Abbott Band, Aaron Watson, Walt Wilkins, Cory Morrow, Drew Holcomb and Kevin Fowler.
Each artist chose a track to make their own, and with the help of producers Justin Pollard, Dwight Baker and Thomas Dulin, showcased the universal power of Green's words – and the range of sounds he's helped inspire.
"It's overwhelming to listen to somebody else singing a song that you wrote," Green explains. "But I think everybody was very tasty in their choices, and to hear Jack Ingram sing 'Wave on Wave' and to hear Randy Rogers sing 'Three Days,' I ain't gonna lie – I got a little misty."
Indeed, Ingram's take on Green's biggest hit transforms an anthemic, arena-sized singalong into a deeply personal reflection, with mellow guitars and poignant piano accents backing Ingram's effortless vocal delivery.
"Jack Ingram is one of my favorite people who ever walked on two feet," Green says. "I was on Twitter the other day and somebody said 'Jack Ingram could sing the phone book and make it sound cool,' and that's the truth. He just oozes it."
Likewise, Rogers and his band put their own, easy-rolling stamp on Green's Grammy-nominated "Three Days," joined by the song's co-creator and acclaimed Texas artist, Radney Foster.
"I'm a big fan of Randy, and I love his style," Green explains. "You've got to understand how intense I am. From being onstage to recording, everything is up, up, up. That's why people who are the opposite of me – really calm and cool and collected – those are the people I admire. Randy's throttle is different from mine. I dig it."
More favorites like "Wrapped" (Clark Green), "Crazy" (Watson), "Adios Days" (Morrow) and "Southbound 35" (Fowler) are faithfully reimagined, while rising talent Baumann managed to surprise even Green with his connection to the vivid emotions coursing through "Nightmare." Written on the day Green's grandfather passed away, Baumann brings it to life in unmatched clarity.
"My grandfather was very important in my life," says Green, who uses the album's second half to offer behind-the-scenes insight for each song. "Baumann's rendition of 'Nightmare' absolutely blew my doors off. He had a more gentle touch on it than I did, and he somehow seemed even more sensitive to the subject matter."
Meanwhile, Green's long and winding journey is placed in context by Holcomb, who delivers the gentle, acoustic strains of the album's title track, "Dancehall Dreamer."
"I'm just an old dancehall dreamer," Holcomb sings. "Living my life in the past / Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains / I don't know how long I can last."
"Dancehall Dreamer" is the second song Green ever wrote, and back then he clearly couldn't imagine where his dreams would lead. But now with a lifetime of music in the rearview and untold miles ahead, anything seems possible.
"No doubt it's far from over, and I think that's the thing I'm most proud of – that it's lasted this long," he says. "To get to almost 25 years of truly productive music making ... it's pretty cool, and I'll take it.
"I don't think I'm in the autumn of my life or career, but I do feel like I'm in the late summer," he goes on. "I'm still inspired, I still love to do it and I'm not quitting any time soon, but I'm enjoying this time. Everything is right where I want it to be."
