- What do I need to bring to my appointment?
- MMTC providers request that you bring supporting documentation with your diagnosis or prior treatment to the clinic at the time of your initial appointment. In addition, please bring identification or proof of Florida residency.
- Do I need the Registry ID card first?
No. In fact, a medical cannabis provider such as those at our clinics must qualify you and complete an assessment before you can be assigned a patient ID number, which you need in order to apply for the card through the state Office of Medical Marijuana Use.
- Do you take my insurance?
- Unfortunately medical cannabis is still federally illegal, therefore no insurance company has elected to cover cannabis-related treatments.
- Is my medical information secure?
- We take all necessary measures to be 100% HIPAA compliant. Any personal health information you provide is completely safe and secure.

– 3 months on medical cannabis
– Arthritis, insomnia, chronic pain
– Previously treated with a nonbenzodiazepine sleep medication
Chronic arthritis and insomnia have plagued me for decades. In addition, 2 joint replacement surgeries last year resulted in even more pain and sleeplessness. Although offered [a nonbenzodiazepine sleep medication] by my doctor, I hated taking it due to the side effects, let alone the threat of addition to this dangerous drug. Thanks to a medical marijuana prescription, I have achieved a consistent sleep pattern and pain management, without the risk of traditional medications. This should be an option for Americans in every state, and not held up due to lobbyists for large pharmaceuticals. I'm convinced there is no better, AND SAFER, option for me to live a comfortable and pain free life.

– Psychiatric Conditions
I have been dealing with psychiatric conditions all my life, and recently finally got it diagnosed. After trying conventional medicine for a few years, I decided to give MMJ a try.
The relief it has given me has been unparalleled. According to everyone close to me, I seem better. I haven't had an episode yet while medicated.

– Degenerative Disc Disorder
I am a young active person who has lost my life to a back injury. It has been 2 years since I've been able to do anything like going shopping. For 2 years I tried everything but back surgery to fix it. After several doctors and a lot of money spent I ended up at the MMTC. Just within a month I have gotten my life back a little by every day. I actually feel good and have the energy to get out of the house. I needed something for the pain and energy. I still have pain but its not near as bad. I just started CBD it's been a week and I can already tell a difference in my energy levels. I also started vape which helps with energy and relaxing. I can not say better things about this I wish this was open worldwide. Thank you for bringing my life back!

– PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
I'm a front line combat veteran. I was in Vietnam– July 67-68. The medical marijuana has given me some mental peace that I have not experienced in 50 years. It doesn't take it away but it does soften the past experiences of combat.

– PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Anxiety, sleeping problems
– Previously treated with antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, antipsychotic medication
The side effects for taking pill medication are as follow. [antidepressants]: nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or stomach ache. Constipation or diarrhea. Loss of interest in sex (erectile dysfunction in men). [anti-anxiety medication]: sleep problems (insomnia), memory problems, poor balance or coordination. Slurred speech. [antipsychotic medication]: dry mouth, sore throat, stomach pain, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, constipation. Which all equals no life. With medical marijuana I do not have any of these side effects. I can have a life full of activities. I sleep better with no nightmares. It helps with my PTSD and anxiety.

– Epilepsy
– Previously treated with pharmaceuticals for seizures, brain surgery, VNS
The medical marijuana has helped some. I've still been having seizures but have noticed when I use the product, it helps with my recovery time. I've had epilepsy for 20 years and have been on every medication made for seizures, have had brain surgery and a VNS, and still am having seizures. I use the nasal, drops, and vape. Although I'm not having near as many [seizures] as I was, I don't understand why it hasn't stopped them completely. I was hoping this would be my cure-all and it hasn't been yet. On TV they would show parents giving their children drops of MM and they come right out of the seizure and back to normal. Maybe I am not doing it enough, I don't know? Just wonder if there is anybody else still having seizures while on this.

Often times we feel as if we cannot make it or that the walls of life are caving in on us. We revert back to our past experiences and sink to even lower places than we had been in before because we feel overwhelmed. We know within ourselves that we are victorious, yet we allow the thoughts of the past to torment us and keep us hindered from truly experiencing the abundance we deserve. Adversity challenges us in many ways; however, our mindset determines the outcome of the adversities we face. Simply by challenging our thought processes we can replace the negative results with positive ones and truly live in victory.
What adversities are you facing today? What will it take for you to overcome them? What is needed in your life right now that will help you triumph over the despair and past pains which have typically left you handicapped with fear? Do you realize that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, that nothing can keep you from experiencing abundance except your own thoughts and actions. You, yes you are an heir of Abba Father through Christ (Galatians 4:7) You know longer have to live in shame or guilt, despair or discouragement. Adversity, whether derived from your past or instigated by your present circumstances can propel you to greatness and you do not have to be swallowed up by any feelings or insecurity or inadequacy.
Dr. Cindy Trimm states in her book The Rules of Engagement for Overcoming Your Past, "Overcoming is an ongoing process that requires personal integrity, not just for some of us but for all of us." Regardless of what you have done or been the recipient of, you are victorious and you are an overcomer. Challenge your thoughts today and replace doubt, fear and negative cognition with those of peace and abundance.

No idea where I was – even with this map…
There are no words for Manu Toigo (you may recall from oh that sweet little NatGeo show Naked and Afraid where she survived oh I dunno DENGUE FEVER! I can't even spell that!!)
This past summer she led an incredible day camp for kids, where she took a small group of lucky kids into nature – to connect, learn survival skills and get in touch with all things non-urban. It was life changing for us as a family. My kids, who refused to even walk, let alone hike, were running to her car for an overnight camping trip. It really was who took my kids and put these two in their place??? Camping??? They had not even had overnights anywhere!!
Now Manu is introducing this! She is leading families on wilderness/camping/nature weekends. TAKE ME PLEASE!!
We went this weekend and I have no words. It was literally the best time I have ever had with my kids. I was having so much fun, being in nature, watching my 7 year old make a fire and my 11 carve a tool with a rock, that I could hardly sleep. That at, I for sure need a sleeping bag mat cuz I am too old to sleep on the ground. Jus sayin.
This Cross Trek 22 Wheeled Carry On saved my entire trip!! We had to walk a mile to the campsite!!! (WTF?!) And yes, this bad ass (me!) did this – above. On my own, and out of my own head! As in, I made it up!
This time Manu set up my tent, but next time I am doing it all myself. We brought insane gear from Granite Gear, specifically the Blaze A.C. 60 Backpack and the Cross Trek 22 Wheeled Carry On. And thank the camping gods for the Cross Trek 22 Wheeled Carry On, because unbeknownst to me, we had to walk a mille to the campground!!! I was so freaking happy I had wheels!!!
My dope backpack was quickly stolen by AJ – who claimed it as his own, no matter how ill-fitting. He actually made it work! So yes, next summer I will be getting him a smaller version for Manu's camp.
OH! And My Charge, with their rad collection of portable chargers, saved my life. I could take photos of the whole trip, did not lose charge and way more importantly, use my iphone flashlight, because I could not find the two flashlights I packed. Genius.
AJ stealing my sickkkkk Blaze Backpack from Granite Gear (which I am officially obsessed with).
Boxes of Rethink Water – perfect for camping. We brought a treasure trove of them. (Is that the right word? Trove? Seems really weird).
Camping must!! Adventure Max Portable Rechargeable 10500mAh charger. Not just for life in the city.
And all the moms basically pillaged me of these, Biossance Cleansing Wipes – because NO RUNNING WATER, PEOPLE!

Kaspersky Labs co-founder, Eugene Kaspersky.
Social media is the latest tool in the arsenal of cyber criminals, with groups using social networking websites such as Twitter to "manipulate the masses" into thinking a certain way, according to Kaspersky Labs' co-founder and chief executive, Eugene Kaspersky.
Speaking at CeBIT in Sydney, Kaspersky told delegates that by identifying key influencers, groups can send messages to the influencers via social networking websites who can then pass these on to the wider public.
The grill: Eugene Kaspersky.
"It is very easy to manipulate people and I'm afraid that if the wrong people have the right strategy, this will be a very serious issue for governments," he said.
Hacktivist group Anonymous casts a long shadow over Twitter with multiple accounts and chapters representing different countries publicising the group's activities such as its protest against the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA).
According to Kaspersky, there were two future scenarios regarding the use of social media: 100 per cent freedom to use the networks which could be dangerous, or Big Brother style controls which could be safer. "I'm afraid I have no scenario in between," he said.
Turning to cyber warfare, Kaspersky said that supervisory control and data acquistion (SCADA) attacks were more likely to happen in the future because so many critical networks, such as power grids, were connected to the internet.
"There are two scenarios: An attack on infrastructure like the electricity grid, or an attack on the internet or mobile network," he said.
"Hackers have the power to connect to whatever they want. Nothing is 100 per cent protected and that's why we have to take action, before it's too late."
However, Kaspersky was more optimistic about the ability of law enforcement agencies to take on cyber criminals with the announcement that Interpol (International Police) will open a cyber office in Singapore in 2014.
Kaspersky had previously called for the formation of an Internet Interpol and better co-ordination between international law enforcement agencies.
While the past six years has proved to be the "Golden Age" of cybercrime–with the criminal activity now ranked second only to drug trafficking– he said that golden age would soon be over now governments were taking cybercrime seriously.
"Only very professional Russian cyber criminals will stay in business, there will no longer be a cybercrime paradise," he said. "Cybercrime damages national economies and international economies– we estimate malware based cybercrime alone causes US$100 billion a year worth of damage."
In addition to the Interpol cyber office, Kaspersky reiterated his AusCERT 2011 discussion on internet identification, a type of passport that identifies users when they log on to the internet. The use of an internet ID could help combat identity theft issues such as criminals searching online for scanned passport documents, he said.
"Why do we need internet IDs? Simply because we have kids and children [that] are always online," he said. "Kids are digital natives, we are digital immigrants. They will not accept offline services if they are available online."
Finally, Kaspersky discussed privacy–or the lack of it. "There is no privacy in this world. When you travel you pay with credit cards, [and] if you use cable TV, there is too much information collected about you.
"There is a huge risk because so much private information is collected from everyone. If the wrong person or the wrong organisation has access to that data, it is not only a problem for you but for governments."
CeBIT 2012: Social media is a tool for cyber criminals, says Eugene Kaspersky – security, kaspersky labs, Eugene Kaspersky, CeBIT 2012, #CeBIT 2012 – Computerworld.

Rally: From the Charleston Massacre to Rekia Boyd, Rise Up Demand Justice
When: 5pm, Tuesday June 23rd, 2015
Where: Federal Plaza, Chicago. Adams & Dearborn
Who: Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression with
Chicagoans from across the city
Chicago 06/23 – On Tuesday, June 23 at 5pm Chicagoans from across the city will be gathering at the Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago. We will be rallying in solidarity with those murdered in the Charleston Massacre and for all those slain by the police, from Eric Garner choked to death by New York cop Darren Wilson to Rekia Boyd who was shot to death by Chicago cop Dante Servin. We will be demanding justice for all Black people and an end to institutionalized racism and genocidal policies:
What are we demanding that the city, state and federal governments do? We are demanding that they:
Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1581682608751383/
Mother Emanuel is a sacred shrine of the Black Liberation Movement and at this moment is the site of a racist massacre of Black people. This is so much more than symbolic for in the deranged and delusional minds of racists the struggles of Black people for freedom can be abolished by murder and terror. While fear and terror are the ancient tools of the oppressor they have never been proven to be more powerful than the struggle for freedom.
The Freedom Movement is agitated into existence by oppression, by the thousands of wrongs and injustices heaped upon us daily, until we arrive at that turning point where we are fired up and can't take it no more. Then the struggle starts up again as open rebellion and no one individual or government entity can stop it.
Every time we have rebelled throughout our history we have been met by white, racist resistance designed to frighten and terrorize us back into submission. In the wake of the Denmark Vesey Rebellion of 1822 Emanuel African Methodist
Episcopal Church was burned to the ground, and was later shuttered by the slave
holding City of Charleston in 1834. Mother Emanuel A.M.E. was reorganized in 1865 in a new building designed by Denmark Vesey's son, Robert Vesey. The timing of this current massacre coincides with the anniversary of the Rebellion of 1822 led by Vesey. The clock of history never turns back. Freedom is a constant struggle.
Today is no different. Maybe the individual who perpetrated this massacre is not part of an organized racist hate group, but it doesn't matter since his actions are
consistent with the gang of cops who lynch-murdered Eric Garner, and the Chicago cop Dante Servin who shot into a group of Black people and murdered Rekia Boyd. A government, which allows cops to murder Black people with impunity, cannot escape accountability by apologizing and being in hot pursuit of one racist murderer when you have let Darren Wilson, and other racist murderers, go free because they carried a badge.
If there ever was a clarion call from our history for us to rise up and demand that this Government and this Nation, cease and desist in all its institutionalized racism and genocidal policies against our people, this is it.

Purchasing in a sunny and pleasant Spa!
For our antiques and curiosa shop the Cup and Saucer, I'm buying in Sweden and the Netherlands, but also in other countries when we are there. A few weeks ago we were at the weekly flea market in Spa, which was quite big this time. It's also nicely located and then with the wonderful weather: lovely to snoop around and of course buy some pretty things.

How to Achieve Maximum Success with Tips
Three Food Intolerances and How to Handle Them.
Three of the most common food intolerances are gluten, Wheat, and lactose. Gluten is the storage of antioxidants in wheat, oats, barley, and rye. It is widespread in cakes, bread, and baked goods. People with wheat intolerance experience negative responses to the proteins in wheat; children tend to be wheat intolerant. Lactose is the building block of milk products and people who are lactose intolerant are intolerant to the proteins in milk.
Before discussing the specifics about lactose, gluten, and wheat intolerance, it's important to see the basic principles behind them. Even though the symptoms tend to be similar, food intolerance shouldn't be confused with a food allergy, which really is a hyper sensitivity to certain foods caused by the existence of certain antibodies; these allergies impact the body's organs while intolerances only influence the gastrointestinal tract.
Food intolerances typically builds up over time and the onset of symptoms can be gradual. People who experience these have type III Gig anti bodies. Symptoms can occur anywhere between 8 and 72 hours after eating the offending food or additive. The meals causing the issues stresses the immune system and also this affects the digestive system. The body tends to believe that the food being eaten will result in an infection caused by a bacteria, virus, or fungi; the food triggers the body's defense mechanism.
The most serious form is Coeliac disease. This leads to the improper absorption of certain nutrients and can lead into serious health problems. Approximately 15-20{ad20d07fc41560de09e0a0c8a7dba7435218b5e74aad223b7b322ef672930dd4} of people with gluten intolerance suffer from Coeliac disease; it can take up to 13 years to being. People suffering with either should prevent any food with oats, kamut, spelt, rye, barley, and oats; this includes bread, flour, biscuits, cakes, noodles, pizza and beer.
It's allowed for people with wheat intolerance to consume products with grains-other than wheat. Approximately 15{ad20d07fc41560de09e0a0c8a7dba7435218b5e74aad223b7b322ef672930dd4} of the population has common symptoms from wheat. The symptoms experienced from eating wheat can worsen and call for treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome but the most common symptom is bloating. Foods to avoid include cereals, breads, and pastas plus sauces, yogurts, and beer containing wheat-based stabilizers. Equally a few sausages use wheat as their filler.
Some people that tend to be lactose intolerant cannot digest the sugars (lactase) found in wheat products; others experience symptoms as they're intolerant to the proteins in milk; the latter is called a type III dairy intolerance. And people who are lactose intolerant may also be fructose intolerant. Conditions that can follow include chronic dehydration, iron deficiency, malabsorption, and osteoarthritis.
Fortunately, the carrying out of a test is easier than before. Testing Starts with a overall allergy/intolerance test. If the test comes back positive for a food intolerance, further testing can pinpoint if or not a person is experiencing a specific type. On a positive note, today's testing can test for up to 271 kinds of foodstuffs.
Patients that are lactose, gluten, or wheat intolerant face the challenge of avoiding certain foods. But after accurate diagnosis and through a revised diet, they can enjoy life without the painful symptoms.

News Source
- UC San Diego: "King Solomon's (Copper) Mines?"
A team led by archaeologists from the United States and Jordan has made a discovery of perhaps biblical proportions at the Ruins of Copper (Arabic "Khirbat en-Nahas"), a region south of the Dead Sea now lying in Jordan.
The site has been known for decades to have hosted metalworking dating back some seven centuries BC. But the current team, led by Thomas Levy of the University of California–San Diego and Mohammad Najjar of Jordan's Friends of Archaeology, unearthed materials such as seeds and sticks that are claimed to be from the 10th century BC. That was the time of King Solomon, whom the Bible notes was "greater in riches . . . than all the other kings of the earth" (1 Kings 10:23) and who had unprecedented access to natural resources, presumably including copper, but also many others from sources near and far.
As for Levy, he cautions that "We can't believe everything ancient writings tell us" even while acknowledging that his research "represents a confluence between the archaeological and scientific data and the Bible."1
We might ask Levy just why it is that we can't believe what the Bible (which we presume is the main target of "ancient writings") tells us, even when his own research reminds us of the accuracy of this specific part of it. Our expectation is that Levy's answer would center on either his presupposed religious beliefs or his acceptance of evolution in explaining the origin of life and the history of humanity. But when we start from the Bible, we find it makes perfect sense of the science we conduct and the observations we make.
In related news, BBC News reports on what could be the oldest Hebrew text found to date: five lines on a shard of pottery found at a dig 20 km southwest of Jerusalem.2 Researchers are still working to translate the full text, which is written in proto-Canaanite, a precursor of the Hebrew alphabet. A few of the words have been translated already, including "judge," "slave," and "king." But for now, they can't be entirely sure it was the language of the ancient Hebrews, as opposed to a related language spoken in the same area.
"The findings could shed significant light on the period of King David's reign."
What's behind most of the headlines, however, is the dating of the pottery at just around 3,000 years ago—the time of King David (and just before King Solomon). Because the pottery and other artifacts where found near the Valley of Elah, where the Bible says David fought Goliath, lead archaeologist Yosef Garfinkel believes "the findings could shed significant light on the period of King David's reign," reports the BBC.
The Associated Press reports that the "discoveries are already being wielded in a vigorous and ongoing argument over whether the Bible's account of events and geography is meant to be taken literally."3 We certainly can't imagine what person familiar with, in this case, 2 Samuel would suggest it's meant to be taken as anything other than literal history!
The report also adds a comment by archaeologist Israel Finkelstein, who cautioned against "the belief that what's written in the Bible is accurate like a newspaper." Thankfully, we know that the Bible is much more accurate than newspapers are! And while an artifact from the time of David would be a wonderful discovery, we do not use "evidence" to prove or disprove Scripture; that would be setting up something (in this case, archaeology—and carbon dating) as an authority over Scripture.

Uniform Codes Manual
Section 13300 of the Government Code (GC) has mandated the Department of Finance to develop, install, and supervise a modern and complete accounting system for each agency of the State permitted or charged by law with the handling of public money. This mandate was modified and reaffirmed by AB 3322 (Chapter 1284, Statutes of 1978) which required, among other things, that a coding system be developed in order to obtain accurate and comparable records, reports, and statements of all the financial affairs of the State. Further, it was necessary that the coding system provide the State Controller with all information necessary for the maintenance of a comprehensive system of central accounts for the entire State. Pursuant to GC section 13310, Finance is also charged with providing fiscal and accounting training, advice and consulting services to state departments.
In addition to using a uniform coding system for reporting to the State controller, agencies will also use this coding system, or chart of accounts, for budgetary purposes. The Governor's Budget, the Budget Bill, and the records of the State Controller will utilize a uniform coding system so as to permit a comparison of budgeted disbursements to actual disbursements, and estimated receipts to actual receipts. In order to achieve the comparable and uniform reporting requirements mandated by AB 3322, the Uniform Codes Manual (UCM) has been developed.
Every agency, department, commission, and board within State government will use these account codes when preparing and reporting budgeted and actual data. The accounts encompass organization, general ledger, program, object (line item), receipt, funding source/appropriation, and fund classifications. Each of these classifications constitutes a separate section of the codes manual and each section contains a brief narrative statement regarding the nature and purpose of the data along with the actual codes and titles.

The picture of the sample slide above was taken with a Scanning Electron Microscope. The large oblong mass in the middle of the slide is the body of the bacteria and the small point-like structures are Stable Water Clusters found in Double Helix Water, sticking to and surrounding the bacterial mass, preventing it from growing any further. The Stable Water Clusters in this slide have actually started to break down the bacteria, rupturing the protein sack surrounding the bacteria and causing the body of bacteria to spill out across the slide; similar to a cracked egg—ultimately killing the bacteria. It is amazing how this water has demonstrated such an antibacterial action.
These images were sent in by a skin care specialist in Naples, Florida, who decided to do a live blood test. She got a live blood sample from a patient and took a picture (top left), then put 3 drops of Double Helix Water in 8 oz of water, had the patient drink it, waited 20 min, then took another live blood sample and took the picture on the top right.
The condition you see in the first picture is called Roleaux, it refers to a medical condition where red blood cells, also called erythrocytes, stick together, yielding an appearance similar to a stack of coins. This is an unhealthy condition with many possible causes. The primary job of red blood cells (RBC) is to transport oxygen throughout the body. When RBCs can't float freely, they can't perform this job properly, and this can result in illness and disease.

A small but growing rock music movement is spreading across the cities of India. Rock fans are turning to young Indian musicians who are writing original songs and music instead of merely reproducing the hits of American and other Western stars like Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Tracy Chapman and Sting.
''Every month, we're out on tour for 15 or 20 days,'' said Uday Benegal, the 22-year-old lead singer of Rock Machine, a sextet that is one of India's most popular groups. Last year, Rock Machine was sent by the Indian Government to the Soviet Union as part of a large celebration of Indian crafts, arts and culture.
Grudgingly, the Indian cultural establishment is recognizing rock and pop music played by Indians as part of the country's cultural diversity. This acceptance is also new among Indian audiences. A Hit With 5,000 Copies
''The audiences are increasing, the records are selling better and the groups are showing their ability to compose original music,'' said Raj Pandit, the 57-year-old chief executive at CBS (India). Although the market for Indian rock music has grown more than tenfold in the last decade, the size of the market is still tiny compared with that in the West: an original recording that sells more than 5,000 copies here is regarded as a hit.
The major themes in Indian rock music are universal, but the songs are often particularly relevant to Asia. Singers like Remo, who is from the southern Indian state of Goa, for example, sing of corrupt politicians in India and the problems of bad telephones. But they also praise the vitality of a city like Bombay, India's major movie and cultural center, as in one Remo song: You're a crazy town, You're a merry-go-round, You're king and clown, Never lie down, Bombay City!
The big cities provide good audiences but it is the East of India, where there are large Christian communities and where English is widely spoken, that Indian rock music is finding its largest audience.
''You get terrific vibes in Calcutta and the Northeast because they understand your music, they're sophisticated and have a wonderful, natural musical flow,'' said Mr. Benegal, the lead singer of Rock Machine. The group's first album, ''Rock Renegade,'' has sold more than 10,000 copies in six months.
''Two years ago, an Indian band couldn't draw an audience of more than 800 people,'' said Mahesh Tinaikar, a guitarist with Rock Machine. ''Now we get 10,000 in a stadium.'' 'Audiences Are More Receptive'
Mr. Tinaikar, whose his hair reaches his shoulders and who wears a T-shirt and faded jeans, said that until recently Indian fans felt that local bands ''were not good enough.''
''Now things are changing,'' he said. ''The audiences are more receptive.''
With bigger audiences for concerts, Indian rock groups' incomes have improved too. Rock Machine nets about 20,000 rupees, or about $1,400, for a 90-minute show. Local organizers pick up all expenses: airline tickets, hotel rooms, stadium rents. Yet rock music as a calling is still regarded as insecure at best in India and Rock Machine is among only a handful of groups that have turned full time to music. Other rock singers and players work at a job or play traditional music at clubs, parties and hotels to support themselves.
And singers here must still compete with powerful names like Michael Jackson (whose album ''Bad'' sold 150,000 copies in India) and widespread audiocassette piracy.
''Naturally, people are going to prefer a Michael Jackson album or a Bruce Springsteen record over an Indian singer, no matter how talented or good he or she is,'' said Vijay Lazarus, the vice president of Music India, one of three major recording companies in India. Mr. Lazarus pointed out that while the turnover in the Indian music market had grown from about $14 million in 1979 to $140 million these days, those who had largely profited were pirate companies taking advantage of light enforcement of copyright laws. Looking to U.S. and Britain
Most of the groups, even Rock Machine, have no full-time managers or press agents to set up and promote their concerts and they have to rely on local organizers to pay for their travel. But it's better than paying for their own shows, as they had to do when they began as a group about three years ago.
One common dream that drives all the Indian rock groups is making it big - and big for them is in the offices and recording studios of the giant music companies in the United States and Britain.
However, music executives like Mr. Pandit of CBS (India) say it will take another 5 or 10 years before Indian performers can make a mark in the West. Tours by Remo and others in the United States have been unsuccessful and frustrating because they do not sing of things familiar to American audiences, Mr. Pandit and others in the industry said.
''It was very frustrating for Remo,'' Mr. Pandit said. ''He was singing about things that didn't appeal to Americans, about flooded streets, bad telephones and delayed flights.''
Some artists are attempting to broaden their appeal. Sharon Prabhakar, an actress and singer who has appeared in the Bombay productions of ''Cabaret'' and ''Evita,'' has begun to sing versions of songs by Madonna and Tracy Chapman in her performances, along with other compositions in English. Increasingly recognized as an innovative artist, Miss Prabhakar acknowledges that ''there has to be an avalanche of good performers if the world is to notice us,''
''That is when the doors will open,'' Miss Prabhakar continued. ''But the factors ranged against us are frightening.''

Goodbye 316 East 3rd Street
EV Grieve broke the news this morning that the beautiful early 19th century rowhouse at 316 East 3rd Street has alas been demolished. We knew it was coming, but the site of the now-vacant lot really brings to light the fact that the East Village is still gravely unprotected in terms of landmarking.
The building went on the market in May of 2010 for $3.995 million, emphasizing the fact that it was not a landmarked property and that the vacant lot next door left plenty of opportunities for expansion or rebuilding. By August of 2011, the site was in contract and a 33-unit Karl Fischer apartment building was in the works. Back when we last wrote about this house, GVSHP, along with neighbors and fellow community groups, called upon the LPC to hold an emergency hearing to landmark the rare historic structure. Sadly, the commission rejected this request, making 316 East 3rd Street the fourth early 19th century surviving house in the East Village which the LPC declined to protect. Now, as the scaffolding and rubble on East 3rd Street between Avenues C & D remind us of this loss, we felt it appropriate to take a look back and honor the building's history.Built in 1835 along with its neighbors at 318 & 320 (the building at 318 has since been demolished), this building was originally a two-story structure, known from the Flemish bond brickwork present only on the first two stories. A property value jump found in 1857 tax records indicated that the third story with common bond brickwork was added that year. It appears that a tea room may also have been added to the rear of the structure at that same time. Its handsome cornice, likely a product of the 1857 expansion, was well intact, as was its Greek Revival ironwork flanking the entry stair, likely from the mid-1830s.
An interesting side story is that 316 East 3rd Street was the home to Pot Smokers Anonymous in the late 1970s. According to the group's founder's obituary in the New York Times, this organization was a "program of nine weekly group therapy sessions, directed at helping marijuana smokers find alternative ways to deal with stress."
If you are as saddened by this loss as we are, please send a letter to the Landmarks Preservation Commission urging them to take protective action in the East Village.

BLUES have had to postpone Matthew Upson's comeback from a serious heel injury - but by only a week, as Steve Bruce stressed there is no clause for alarm.
The centre-half had been pencilled in for a reserve team outing against Albion on Monday at Solihull Borough.
But now, due to sore groins, Upson is set to be reined in until October 18, when the second string travel to Bradford City in the Pontin's League Central.
Bruce said it was prudent not to take any risk with such an important player he rated in the #6million bracket.
"Monday is too early for him," the manager revealed. "We're looking that he could play in the Bradford City game, which is on the 18th.
"He has made very good progress and we've got a #6million player waiting to come back, which is good news. But we are going to make sure that he's right when he does get out there on the field again. We are not going to rush anything.
"He has been a little bit sore in his groins because he's training more than just doing straight line stuff.
"So Albion is too early and possibly on Wednesday or Thursday he will join in with the main training group again and then we will take it from there."
Upson ruptured his Achilles tendon during the warm-up at Villa in April.
He said surgery, by Keele-based leading specialist Professor Nicola Maffulli, had been a great success and he has vowed to become a better, stronger and more powerful performer.
"If anybody is going to come back from a serious injury, it's Matt," said Bruce. "He will do what he has to do religiously - the work, what he eats, drinks, how he takes care of himself. He will make sure he's A1."
By the time Upson is realistically in tip-top shape and playing Championship football, he will have little over 18 months left on his contract.
It is no secret that, had he been fit, he would have been sold after Blues' relegation from the Premiership.
But Upson, who rejected a five-year deal at the beginning of last season, has not set his sights on a move in the January transfer window.
And Bruce said that trying to impress other clubs would be the last thing on his mind when the boots were laced up again.
For a start, he would be needed to help underpin Blues promotion bid.
"The one thing he will want to do is just get back playing football again. And of course, we want to see him again too," said Bruce.
"He missed six weeks before he did his Achilles tendon so we haven't really had him available since Christmas.
"It's been a frustrating time for him and the football club. First and foremost it's important to get him exactly right and on the pitch, which is what we're all trying to do."
Although striker Mikael Forssell and winger Julian Gray could exit in January, it would not be at the expense of weakening the squad.
Bruce said he was confident that he would be active in the market.
"I'm sure, with our club, you always know there is a chance of doing business," he said.
"We're always on the lookout and if something becomes available, then I'm certain we'd be interested. "Although I don't know where these players are, like," he smiled.
"It's not easy to find the right ones for the right price nowadays. But we're scouring around and if something comes up, we could well act."
A replacement for Forssell, should Blues decide to cash-in, would be a priority and although Charlton Athletic's Marcus Bent has already been eyed, Bruce and his staff are currently assessing various options.

Dortmund take down Wolfsburg to secure spot in German Cup final
DORTMUND, Germany (AP) Borussia Dortmund reached its sixth German Cup final by beating Wolfsburg 2-0 on Tuesday.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan opened the scoring in the 12th and Robert Lewandowski scored his 100th goal for Dortmund to secure the victory in the 43rd.
Bayern Munich hosts second-division Kaiserslautern in the second semifinal on Wednesday. Dortmund beat Bayern 3-0 in Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The final is on May 17 in Berlin.
Wolfsburg missed several good chances even though three-time cup winner Dortmund controlled most of the match.
"We were fortunate, but we are playing at a high level the past week," Dortmund's coach Juergen Klopp said.
Mkhitaryan picked up a pass from Marko Reus and slotted a low shot for the first goal.
Dortmund doubled the lead only one minute after Junior Malanda had hit the post with a header. Milos Jojic launched Reus, who crossed for Lewandowski and the Poland striker fired into the roof of the net.
Lewandowski hit the post from a very acute angle early in the second half.
Malanda wasted his second big chance of the match in the 75th by firing high from four meters (yards) out after Kevin de Bruyne's shot had bounced off the post.
And in the 81st Malanda's shot was parried by Roman Weidenfeller, Gustavo's follow-up hit the post and Dortmund defender Sokratis fell on Malanda's right leg in the melee. The Belgium international had to be substituted.
"It was very close, we were lucky that Wolfsburg did not score," Dortmund's defender Mats Hummels said.
Before the game, Dortmund announced that it was extending the contract of injured midfielder Ilkay Gundogan by one year until 2016. Gundogan has made only two appearances this season because of a pinched nerve in his back.

Happy weekend friends! When I was in Texas over the holidays, I got a chance to have a mini workshop with my favorite girls - my daughter and my nieces. My sis-in-law Keely's house is beautifully decorated and has so many big windows illuminating every room with beautiful natural light. So, we took the opportunity to spend a casual afternoon together laughing and being silly and making beautiful floral crowns. We loved every minute!
It doesn't take much to make a beautiful flower crown. I generally like things simple so I just chose some flowers that are hardier (as well as beautiful). What I used were: vine, winter berries, tectorum (which looks like a star - it is lovely as well as hardy), eucalyptus (you can never go wrong with eucalyptus when making crowns or garlands, it is beautiful, hardy, and comes in so many different varieties), juliet garden rose, carnation, and lunaria seedpods (also known as silver dollars).
You can use the vine to make the actual base/crown and then add the desired flowers.
This is Yoshi - he wanted to make crowns too!
For a little variety and a stronger crown we also used eucalyptus as a base so that we could put more flowers on that one without it falling apart or feeling/looking lopsided. .
Life is a party when you get to make flower crowns!

Anyone who follows me on social media will know that I've become quite a fan of Instagram. I was very late to this particular party but once I joined, I was hooked. Instagram is a fun way to share your work and inspiration with the wider world and engagement is great compared to other social media platforms (or at least it is for me!). Here's my profile (as at a couple of weeks ago).
I've recently been putting more effort into my shots (only natural light wherever possible and ensuring they fit in with the style of my brand), I've also been saving up the best ones to post across a few hours or days, rather than bunching them all together. As a result I've seen an increase in likes and comments on all of my posts.
I heard about a tool which enables you to analyse this engagement further (and see what's working well/what you should do less of) called Iconosquare, so I decided to give it a try.
On the page for your profile you can see at a glance which of your recent posts were the most popular. Here are my top 4 from this selection.
1 - Mid-way point in my Mathilde blouse - 37 likes, 4 comments.
2 - Pin cushion (talking about the Knitting & Stitching Show) - 35 likes, 4 comments.
3 - My next door neighbour at Crafty Fox Market, Liz Mosely, at her stand - 33 likes.
4 - My new phone case (with my Windows design on!) - 32 likes, 4 comments.
Images from events always seem to be popular (although the photo quality isn't always the best!) and I've noticed that the shots I've styled more get lots of likes too (that's why peoples Instagram feeds aren't always that realistic folks!).
The other thing I've been really concentrating on is the use of hashtags. I try not to post anything without at least adding one or two (and depending on the time of day and how tired I am, I can find it quite hard to think of any sometimes!). I used to limit myself to 5 so as not to look too spammy but have realised that, provided I don't go over the top and add a silly number, as many as I think are relevant is best. This has definitely helped me to find new followers who have an interest in say sewing, midcentury design or architecture for example.
The main downside I've found with Iconosquare so far is the time it takes to update your stats. I'm not on there often enough for it to be quick and has taken well over an hour each time I've wanted to look at it (in fact, on the day I started writing this post, it took 5 hours!). They do have a premium option (which I'm not planning to pay for) - not sure if it's any quicker if you have that.
You can however get quite a lot of info from the free version - overall engagement and level of comments, all time most popular posts, follower growth, who your most engaged followers are and, an interesting one, when you've gained and lost the most followers (so did that sloth picture bring new people or make them flee?).
I noticed when writing this post that there's a new hashtag performance option which I'll be looking at too - no point in filling the page with hashtags which people don't use.
Are there any other keen Instagrammers out there who use an alternative tool or is there something you think is better? I think I'd use Iconosquare more if I felt I could quickly dip in and out, rather than waiting an age for my data (but this may only be because I don't use it enough!). Please let me have your recommendations!

Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes… ~ Alice Cooper Band
Yup, school's out — not for summer, not forever, but for 12 glorious days.
Just one day more of "English camp" — which involves no camping but occasional spurts of English — and my summer holiday begins. Last week's "camp" at my main school was surprisingly pleasant after a pretty gruelling time writing the whole syllabus myself.
Some of the best first-years turned up and I got lots of laughs, the best during a general knowledge quiz in which I asked them to name two members of the Beatles. Four groups gave me nothing but bewildered looks; the Dream Team here, (seen in the school kitchen concocting the world's worst macaroni salad)…
..gave me John Lennon and "Pole Megaton" — Mr Lennon's songwriting partner.
I gave them 1.5 points when I'd stopped laughing. I now have the perfect alias when next I need to check in somewhere anonymously.
I'm in two minds about the break: I need and desperately want some Goat time, but as the last post might have made clear, this is not the best time of year for the kind of recreation I enjoy. The weather, of course, the heat and brutal humidity. And here in Korea, as in Japan, all the obvious retreats, from coast to mountaintop, are apparently overrun with fellow escapees.
Seoul, a huge, crowded city baking in the summer heat, doesn't appeal. Jeju Island was quickly dismissed, as was Soraek-San, most famous national park in the country; both will likely be seething with humanity in all its majesty. I flirted briefly with an escape to China or elsewhere, but can't justify the expense when I'm trying to save. I was stumped.
Finally, I decided on a plan of great vagueness and inspired pointlessness. When that school bell announces lunchtime and the end of classes tomorrow, I aim to sneak from the premises four hours early with my pack, ideally whistling Alice Cooper's School's Out (or who knows, maybe Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday), jump on the #21, and via the usual series of trains get myself to Haeundae, most famous beach in Korea.
I've been there three or four times, and in Winter and early Spring I enjoyed watching the people and wandering the coast north to Songjeong, another well-known beach. Last time, though, a brief summer stop before walking north, was awful for someone whose idea of the perfect beach is this…
..or this:
Oiled and otherwise lubricated masses of tourists jammed that famed strip of sand; ball games, giant sand sculptures…
..beer, bad music, the whole communal spectacle of summer that a lot of people enjoy.
Not my scene.
Tomorrow Haeundae will just be my starting point:
I'm going to follow the coast north via roads and coastal paths, when I can find any, or the beaches themselves, try to do at least a few hundred kilometres, and sleep wherever I end up each day: on the sand, in some woods, under a pergola, maybe grab a love hotel now and then to freshen up. I think there'll be showers near most beaches, and there's always the ocean herself. I'm not taking a sleeping bag but I will pack a tarp in case it rains.
I kinda hope it rains.
If the road-walking proves insufferable in the summer sun, or the trip otherwise loses its appeal, I have a couple of back-up quasi-plans I can try. As usual I will be carrying only the vaguest of maps. Worse that can happen is I walk too far and get into some bother at the DMZ.
As warned, look out for short posts each day. But don't expect the worst if I miss one. I'm on holidays.
Enjoy your own holidays, northerners, and southlanders, think of me as you bitch about the cold! I'll end with some scenes from a few walks between Haeundae and Songjeung, a taste of what I might find further north.
Sincerely, Pole Megaton
~ And that's all the Goat wrote
