The nominees were selected by an independent committee of 24 theater professionals appointed by the Tony Awards Administration Committee. The 2013 Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. (The list of nominations follows.)THE 67TH ANNUAL Tony Awards will be broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall, Sunday, June 9 (8:00-11:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network. The awards honor theater professionals for distinguished achievement on Broadway. The show returns to Radio City Music Hall after two years at the Beacon Theatre. This year marks the 67th anniversary of the TONY Awards, which were first held on April 6, 1947 at the Waldorf Astoria's Grand Ballroom. The ceremonies are presented by Tony AwaRD Productions, which is a joint venture of The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, which founded the Tonys. The Tonys were founded in memorial to Antoinette ("Tony") Perry, the American Theatre Wing's World War II chairperson. The winners are selected by approximately 830 eligible voters. These include voting members of The Broadway League and the board of directors and designated members of the advisory committee of the American Theatre Wing, along with members of the governing boards of Actors' Equity Association; the Dramatists Guild; SDC, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society; United Scenic Artists; and the Association of Theatrical Press Agents and Managers.

Incorporated with Traditional
Psychotherapy, Alternative and
Holistic Complementary Therapies.
Residential & Outpatient
Complete Individualized
Approach to Treat Addiction
and Mental Health Disorders.
1- How do I know if this is a reputable facility?
15 years experience in providing successful recovery to those struggling with addiction.
2- Is the cost affordable?
You know what they say, if there is a will there is a way. Besides the many insurance plans accepted in our facility, there are many ways we can help you make your recovery affordable. Let's talk.
3- I've heard of rehab facilities being just revolving doors for addicts. Get clean, relapse and come back again.
Yes we know relapse is the biggest factor in the life of a recovering addict. We have plans and procedures in place that will give you the tools and the support when you are most vulnerable to relapse. You can and you will succeed. There is no reason for failure.
4- Is this a safe place and up to the standards of a medical rehab facility?
Our facility is licensed and certified by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and by the Joint Commission on Health Care Organizations. But we go beyond the required minimum standards to ensure client's recovery success. In addition to the top rated treatment delivered by our staff of doctor, nurses and the licensed therapy counselors, our clients enjoy the comforts of a celebrity rehab, like medical massage, yoga, meditation, personal training and art therapy. The balanced nutritious meals prepared daily by our gourmet chef and the spacious rooms with private baths are all parts of what makes recovery at our facility as comfortable as possible.
5- Is this place licensed for medical detox?
We are licensed as a medical detox facility and provide 24hr monitoring and medical care to those patients who require detox before starting therapy. We are proud of the comfort and the safety that we offer during the critical detox period.
If you see any other reason that may stop you from getting treatment, starting now, call us.
Let's have a conversation about why it is crucial to start today.
A Center for Addiction Recovery, CFAR, is an accredited rehab center, providing the most up-to-date Medical Detox and Residential Addiction Treatment Programs since 2002. Our addiction treatment programs provide treatment for male and female clients who are struggling with alcohol, drugs, prescription drugs and process addictions such as compulsive gambling and eating disorders.
CFAR embraces traditional and holistic approaches in the treatment of addiction which includes the non-12 Step SMART RECOVERY, and the 12 Step Recovery Program. All addiction treatment programs at A Center for Addiction Recovery focus on treating the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of our clients' recovery, helping them to identify and address the root causes that may have triggered their addictive behaviors. There are many instances that a past trauma has played a major role in someone's addiction which in turns affects his or her treatment and recovery. In such cases we utilize the most promising trauma treatment approach, Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), which is exclusively delivered at A Center for Addiction Recovery by the founder and the developer of this therapy, Dr. Jon Connelly.
During RRT clients do not become overwhelmed or feel helpless by re-living the traumatic event. Neither do they go through hypnosis. They are able to clear their trauma while awake and present. Once the mind is clear from the trauma, clients have a far greater chance of achieving a successful recovery. With one-half to two-thirds of people with addictions suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and about the same proportion of people with PTSD having developed an addiction, CFAR finds it absolutely essential to treat both conditions effectively at the same time to provide clients with the best chance for a successful recovery.
All of our addiction treatment therapies are delivered by our experienced, caring and non-judgmental addiction specialists which consist of physicians, psychiatrists, nursing professionals, licensed social workers and mental health counselors. All treatment services are provided in our 12 acre facility without any need to transport clients to different locations for different therapies. This allows our clients to comfortably transition from detox to residential treatment under the supervision of the staff that has got to know them and follows their treatment closely through various stages of recovery.
As part of CFAR's innovative approach in the treatment of addiction, we combine medical detox with biofeedback sessions. This powerful treatment approach is delivered at our Serenity Lounge, where a combination of music, choreographed imagery, vibrations and bi-neural beats are utilized to induce a natural meditative state. By utilizing biofeedback therapy, clients practice deep-breathing and engage in positive emotional thoughts. The "Serenity" biofeedback sessions are proven to be a very successful tool in aiding the process of mental and emotional healing in individuals who are starting their recovery. Biofeedback is one of the many holistic therapies that A Center for Addiction Recovery offers to promote relaxation and stress release. These therapies include but are not limited to: Yoga, Meditation, Massage Therapy, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Personal Training and sports activities such as Basketball and Volleyball.

Here's a golden opportunity for all you Lincoln buffs in the Milwaukee area.
For a few weeks now, Ron [Barczynski] has been sitting there at 27th and Cleveland for hours a day trying to find a buyer for what he insists is an original and authentic letter from one of our greatest presidents to a Civil War hero.
"I want $10,000. It's a bargain," he tells me when I stop to ask what the heck he's up to. Other Lincoln documents have gone for 10 times that amount, he says.
He found the letter tucked into the back of a picture frame that he bought 40 years ago from a south side resale shop. Now at age 74 – which means he's been alive half as long as Lincoln has been dead – he is feeling a sense of urgency about cashing in.…
The letter, dated Sept. 20, 1864, and written to Major Gen. Philip Sheridan in Winchester, Va., is just three sentences long: "Have just heard of your great victory. God bless you all, officers and men. Strongly inclined to come up and see you."
It's signed A. Lincoln.
The original was at the Library of Congress as of the 1950's, so the notion that it ended up in a Wisconsin second-hand shop a mere twenty years later is rather unlikely. And yet when I look at this photo…
…I can't help but think this would be a sound investment.

After enjoying an introduction from Ricky Gervais that noted his familiarity with Betty Ford and the LAPD, Robert Downey Jr. came out to present the award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical.
"Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I'd say the vibe of the show's been pretty good so far, wouldn't you?" opened RDJ, who then launched into a highly suggestive riff about each of the nominees that began with, "I don't know if an actress can do her best work until I've slept with her—Julianne," and ended with "I'd give it to each of them. Right here on this stage." Stay classy, Bob.
Anyway, it somehow doesn't seem fair that Annette Bening's work in "The Kids Are All Right" was nominated in the Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical category, but hey, what're you gonna do?
U.S. & World
"My partner Julianne Moore I have to thank first," began Bening. "She asked me to do the picture with her, she made it possible for us to shot it where we shot it when we did, so, Julianne, you are a class act. Thank you."
Bening then wrapped up her than with a shout out to "the 1962 winner of the Golden Glove most promising actor, my husband Warren Beatty."
It was a great performance in a very good film, but it was hardly comedic.


text: Last night's Bad Girls Club reunion was so awesome. Even if you never watched the series, you'd still be mesmerized by the sheer insanity of grown women wanting to throw down over every little thing, hurling insults about each other's weight, sexual activity, and yes, mamas. Even Star Jones, who hosted the special and pointed out the groups "mean girls' lunch table" mentality, couldn't resist getting caught up in the drama, and eventually ended up taking sides, although she said she wouldn't. Star handled her shit though, and she was actually really funny. Now if they could just get Tanisha to moderate a View reunion smack down! Clip above.

Schroders Live: Central banks' options, and Q2's biggest risks
Schroders Live: Central banks' options, and Q2's biggest risks
Cranny began by referring to this week's warning from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that the global economy risked stagnating as a result of its prolonged period of slow growth. Wade, however, played down the significance of the IMF report.
"The new IMF forecast is capturing a lot of the worries we had at the beginning of Q1," Wade said. "In some ways the IMF is a lagging indicator and is looking in the rear view mirror. Those worries we had at the start of the year are starting to fade as we've had a bit more stability in China, the US and rest of the world."
Are central banks out of ammo?
Following the introduction of negative interest rate policy by a number of the world's central bankers, Cranny asked if this trend will continue and whether it means central banks have run out of monetary policy ammunition.
"Central banks are in a very difficult position," Wade said. "They have to behave as if they have more tools in their toolkit. But privately, and if you read between the lines, they are saying that they're very near the end. There's very little more they can do in terms of delivering stimulus."
He also pointed out that negative interest rates actually have lots of adverse effects, particularly on the banking system and its profitability, and so could actually be counter-productive. The next focus needs to be fiscal, rather than monetary, Wade thinks.
"What I see is central banks reaching out to governments asking for fiscal stimulus," Wade said.
Isaac concurred, saying that there's no real alternative.
"In the UK, the Chancellor George Osborne is tightening fiscal policy, which is counter-intuitive. And we saw the same during the eurozone crisis," Isaac said.
"Normally when you go into a recession or a poor period of economic growth, you have the twin effects of one hand cutting interest rates and on the other, governments increasing spending and cutting taxes. That's not what happened this time and why we had this long, drawn-out, subpar recovery."
What's left to stimulate the global economy?
Isaac said he can't see that central banks can do anything further to stimulate the economy – aside from extreme measures like so-called "helicopter money" (effectively printing money to hand out to citizens) or monetising debt (whereby a government directly issues new debt to the central bank, thus increasing the monetary base).
Whether the necessary fiscal stimulus comes to fruition is doubtful, however. "The best we can hope for in Europe is that they relax the constraints a little, allow the so-called "automatic stabilisers" to work (e.g. benefit spend to rise and corporate and personal tax revenues to fall), and that we don't see the same kind of austerity we've seen in past," Wade said.
Should we be optimistic on emerging markets?
Emerging market currencies surged in the first quarter, which Isaac put down to a "virtuous circle" of rising commodities, a weakening dollar and China improvement. Within emerging markets, Wade sees reasons for optimism.
"There are signs on the ground that export orders and manufacturing activity are beginning to improve in parts of emerging markets," he said.
"These are helped very much by the stability and rally in commodity prices, but also by a turn in the global inventory cycle. We've seen manufacturing and trade very subdued as companies have tried to work off this excess inventory. It looks like this is now beginning to happen; this will help emerging markets as we go forward."
He thinks that a more stable environment for emerging markets could make the Fed more likely to raise rates again as the global market volatility caused by such a move is likely to be reduced.
Where next for the Fed?
Wade thinks the Fed needs to hike again soon.
"It's clear interest rates overall are very, very low; -1% in real terms, for an economy that has unemployment at pretty close to equilibrium, is really unusual. The Fed will have to move rates up gradually, but they are also mindful in an election year that there is a limited window, so they really need to go in the next few months."
Who will benefit from oil price gains?
Oil's recovery this year has been one of the biggest drivers of the market rally. So, Cranny asked our pundits: if oil prices continue to rise, who will be biggest winners and losers geographically?
"The winners will be the exact reverse of the last couple of years," Isaac said. "One of the worst affected will be Europe, as it doesn't produce a great deal of oil but consumes a lot."
Wade agreed that in some ways a higher oil price will be negative for Europe, but in another way it will be welcome.
"Lower oil prices have been one of the things driving the European recovery," Wade said. "Consumer spending in Germany, for example, is really strong and it has been a boon for the Germany economy. Rising oil prices will unwind some of that. But (ECB President) Mario Draghi also looks at its impact on headline inflation1 , so in one way it will be welcomed because headline inflation will go up and Europe will move away from deflation. "
Are investors overestimating China's impact on the global economy?
China remains an important focus for investors globally, although Isaac thinks people now overestimate its impact on the rest of the world as its dynamics have changed.
"The market is obsessed with Chinese headline growth levels. Ten, or even five, years ago they were important for the rest of the world purely because they had a lot of infrastructure spending, used a lot of commodities and drove global growth," Isaac said.
"But the balance of growth in China is moving from the industrial to service sector, which has a far lower effect on the rest of the global economy. 5% today is not the same as 5% five years ago. Now it comes from companies like Alibaba with goods produced in China, from a website in China and with its profits in China. It has far less impact on the rest of the world."
What are the biggest risks facing investors in Q2?
Cranny concluded the discussion by asking Isaac and Wade for their two biggest risks for the quarter ahead.
The first is the upcoming referendum on the UK's membership of the EU.
"We think the near term impact on GDP growth could be quite severe in the event of a Brexit – about 0.9% lower in the following year," Wade said. "This is because you would have a hit on investment growth and consumption, so you would see a bit of a pause in the UK economy. The real focus will be the pound and whether it could fall further. We think it could fall further, and this would eventually help the economy, but in the near term would affect inflation."
The second main risk for the quarter, according to Wade, concerns currencies.
"Currency markets are the other area we are keeping a close eye on. They are more stable but we've seen a big move in the yen. The Bank of Japan doesn't want that and it might act, which could result in the currency wars kicking off again."

Kurt Wolfgang
Mr. Wolfgang is the artist behind the Xeric-winning and Ignatz-nominated graphic novel
Where Hats Go, as well as the editor of the Ignatz-winning Lowjinxseries. His illustrations and comics can be found in a number of cruddy mini-comics, high falootin' artsy fartsy anthologies, and some shiny magazines. Born & raised in some crummy part of New Jersey, Mr. Wolfgang currently resides in the picturesque village of Collinsville, CT with his beautiful wife and gifted children, where he is working on Pinokio, a wordless and significantly unfaithful adaptation of Carlo Collodi's classic tale Pinocchio. On any given day, his estimation of the eventual page count ranges from 600 to 1200, so he's chosen to no longer attempt to forecast such things. Please, don't ask him, he'll just get upset. When not drawing comics or thinking about drawing comics or boring the hell out of his poor dear wife by talking about comics, he enjoys telling lies to his children, drinking beverages and wishing things were different. He still calls his dog's name when he drops food on the floor, even though she's been dead for some time. He's known his wife since he was 10. His father was no damned good.

Earlier this year, The Onion published a thought-provoking article on what happens when 30 million people shrug off the environmental harm done by throwing away just one plastic bottle. This cynically funny "news" source always has a way of making a statement without actually stating it outright. While reading this I began to cringe as I recalled the many times in my life where I've said the same thing that most people say as they toss their empty plastic water bottles into the trash can – "It's no big deal. It's not like I do it all the time. I hardly even drink bottled water. What's one plastic bottle anyway?" Likewise, as the article points out, "what difference is it going to make if I leave one light bulb on all night or if I leave the water running while I brush my teeth? I'm just one person. No one will notice…."
But what happens when 30 million people say the same thing? The consequences add up a lot faster than the lost pennies under your sofa cushion and you realize that there are actually millions of other people living on the planet besides yourself.
Okay, so I may have just stated the point outright, but it's still worth a read..

Atlantis' crew spent a smooth day in space checking equipment in preparation for upcoming activities: docking with the International Space Station late tonight; a spacewalk planned for late Sunday; and the transfer of over a ton of equipment to the station that will begin late Monday.
Atlantis' Commander Jim Halsell and Pilot Scott Horowitz tested the navigation equipment and flight controls they will use late tonight to rendezvous with and then dock to the station. They also fired Atlantis' engines periodically to adjust the rate at which the Shuttle is closing in on the station. Atlantis is 430 statute miles behind the station now, closing in 30 statute miles with each orbit of Earth. Atlantis will continue that closing rate throughout the day while the crew sleeps.
During an engine firing Friday evening using both large orbital maneuvering system (OMS) engines on Atlantis, flight controllers saw an indication that one of two propellant valves for the left OMS engine may have failed to close. The engine's backup valve did operate normally, and the engine remains in good operating condition. However, as a precaution, the left engine will not be used again until Atlantis is ready to deorbit at the completion of the flight. Controllers are continuing to analyze the information and are uncertain if the valve actually did not operate properly or whether the indication may have been an errant sensor reading. The right OMS engine alone can be used for large rendezvous engine firings with no impact on the mission.
Astronauts Jeff Williams and Jim Voss checked the spacesuits and equipment they will use during the upcoming spacewalk, finding them in good shape. Three suits -- one for Williams, one for Voss and a spare, which could be used by either -- were checked out aboard Atlantis. Williams and Voss were assisted in the checks by Horowitz, who will coordinate the spacewalk activities from within the cabin. Later, fellow crew member Mary Ellen Weber successfully tested the Shuttle's robotic arm. Weber will operate the arm during the spacewalk to maneuver Williams and Voss between Atlantis and the station. Weber uncradled the arm this morning and used it to survey the Shuttle's payload bay. Later, Weber powered on the docking system Atlantis will use to attach to the station and extended the system's docking ring. The ring latches onto the station when the Shuttle makes contact and is then retracted to secure the two spacecraft together.
The crew will begin a sleep period at 8:11 a.m. and awaken at 4:11 p.m.. At 8:39 p.m., with Atlantis trailing the International Space Station by about 50,000 feet, Halsell will fire the Shuttle's engines to initiate the final phase of the rendezvous. Just before 10 p.m., as Atlantis reaches a point about a half-mile below the station, Halsell will take over manual control of the approach. He will reach a distance of about 170 feet from the station at 10:39 p.m. Docking is expected at about 11:31 p.m. Atlantis is in an orbit with a high point of 204 miles and a low point of 199 miles, circling Earth every 90 minutes.

Cleopatra Hill sits at about 5,000 feet above sea level in north-central Arizona. It was here that in 1883 a New York investor, Eugene Murray Jerome, purchased mineral rights from a small group of prospectors and began to finance a mining operation. A short time later, in early 1889, the town of Jerome, encompassing less than one square mile on the side of the steep hill and with a population of eight, was incorporated. The town's namesake, Mr. Jerome, would never set foot in it.
Jerome really came into its own around the turn of the 20th Century, when the New York Sun dubbed it the "wickedest town in the West." Of course, this meant that the place was rife with that holy trinity of the Wild West: Gunfights, gambling and working girls.
The population of Jerome reached 15,000 by the 1920's with the mines operating 24 hours a day. However, the Great Depression hit the town hard and, in 1930, the mines closed. The history of Jerome during these dark years is lost to the ages. However, in 1935, a man named Phelp Dodge bought up the mining rights around Jerome and began open pit mining, using up to 250,000 pounds of TNT to blow chunks out of the hill, rocking the entire city. One blast sent an entire block sliding downgrade. The vast majority of that block was dismantled, but the jail remains standing to this day. Sort of. Known as the "sliding jail" it now sits tucked away beneath a parking lot, hundreds of feet below its original location. The photo at the top of this post is from inside the jail. The shot below is from just outside.
By the mid-20th Century, nearly 1 billion dollars' worth of gold, silver, and copper had been hauled out of Cleopatra Hill and the immediate vicinity. But, by then, Jerome had become a true ghost town. Below is a shot of the Connor Hotel, which burned down twice before this brick building was finally built in 1898. Once the classiest hotel in town, by 1931 the place was shuttered. It re-opened in the 1960's as a flophouse. It shut down again in the 1980's due to building code violations but has since re-opened as something somewhat above a flophouse.
Today, the population of Jerome hovers around 350, making it the least-populated city in the state of Arizona. Its most famous resident is probably Maynard James Keenan, the singer for Tool, who also co-owns the Caduceus Winery, which has a retail store in town. There's also a boutique for Keenan's other band, Puscifer, up a street or two. (Up truly meaning "above" in vertical Jerome.) Even if it's no longer the "wickedest town in the West" (hello my former home of Oakland, CA!), Jerome still has some ghosts floating around.
The JEROME TIMES has the most extensive history of Jerome to be found on-line. Wanna stay at the Connor Hotel? Go HERE. Thirsty? Try HERE.
Next post is going to be a surprise to everyone, including me.

Configure the threshold of recording time (in seconds) left on the device before a warning is issued.
#include <camera/camera_api.h>
camera_error_t camera_set_video_filesize_warning(camera_handle_t handle, uint16_t seconds_remaining)
- handle
The handle returned by a call to the camera_open() function.
- seconds_remaining
The desired threshold (in seconds) before the status call function is called when the amount of time is less than the value specified by this argument.
The device has a recording capacity measured in bytes, which can also be expressed as a number of seconds depending on the encoding bit-rate. The recording capacity is indicated as seconds of recording time, which is a reflection of the amount of time left to record the video. While encoding, there is a continual estimation of the how many seconds of recording time remains before the storage device is full.
The camera service invokes the status_callback with status set to CAMERA_STATUS_FILESIZE_WARNING whenever the amount of time left to record video is less than the value set in the seconds_remaining argument. The status_callback is the callback function set when you call the camera_start_photo_viewfinder() or camera_start_video_viewfinder() functions.
Typically, an application would set this to five minutes (or 3000 seconds). Once that threshold is crossed, an application would indicate a low-space warning. You can decide to adjust the threshold lower to receive additional warnings as the recording time approaches zero. For example, you could move the threshold to one minute (60 seconds) for the next warning.
CAMERA_OK when the function successfully completes, otherwise another camera_error_t value that provides the reason that the call failed.

Luke Durbridge Delivers Back to Back Wins in BallaratWed 9 Jan 2013
Luke Durbridge blasted around Ballarat to win gold in the individual time trial at the Mars Cycling Australia Road National Championships. The defending champion covered the 37 kilometre Lake Wendouree course in 43:26.71 to beat out Rohan Dennis (South Australia) for the title. Michael Matthews, in his first outing in ORICA-GreenEDGE colours, took the bronze medal.
"Winning the national title was definitely my main objective for January," said Durbridge. "I worked hard over December to achieve that goal, and I'm happy to come out with the win."
"It's an honour to wear national colours," Durbridge continued. "To have that honour last year and achieve it again this year is a huge thing for me. I take a lot of motivation from wearing the championship jersey. I'm glad to do it again this year. My 2013 season has started quite well."
As defending champion, Durbridge recognized that anything less than the gold medal would be underwhelming.
"It was different this year to go into the race with the win as an expectation," he said. "It's a different sort of feeling when anything but the win would be a disappointment. I used that pressure to motivate and drive me when I trained and raced. When it got hard out there today, I was able to remind myself that you don't win when it isn't hard. The pressure was good motivation for me in the end."
Sport Director Matt Wilson drove behind Durbridge during his race effort.
"Durbo is a level-headed guy," explained Wilson. "He wanted some specific information over the radio with good time checks and a little encouragement towards the end. His radio stopped working during the second half of the course, so it was frustrating for him not have the information he wanted, but he was obviously riding super strong by that point."
Durbridge crashed yesterday during his pre-ride, and there was some concern that he would deal with stiffness or soreness.
"The crash yesterday didn't impact me at all today," said Durbridge. "I didn't feel it at all."
Durbridge was full of praise for the new course changes.
"It was great to have full road closures this year," he noted. "This way traffic didn't impact anyone. It was windy out there today but super fast. We don't see 51 kilometre/hour averages too often. The course definitely suited me. I hope they keep it the same next year."
While Durbridge's win may have been anticipated, the lessor places were more difficult to predict. Matthews beat out time trial specialist Richie Porte (Tasmania) for the final spot on the podium.
"Bling has been preparing for the time trial, and he set the goal to medal here," said Wilson. "I knew he'd do a good time trial. He's done fantastic efforts in the past, so I expected him to be up there. Given the form of both Durbo and Dennis, third place is a fantastic result."
Road nationals continue tomorrow with the national criterium championships.

The banged-up Yanks are even more banged-up today after a painful win on Friday night in Boston. Cano is out today; Nick Johnson is headed to the DL. But CC Sabathia is on the hill. He'll go against Clay Buchholz, who has been Boston's best starter this year.
Never mind the payback, just win, baby.

A Japanese Sustainable Designer At Salone Satelite
Came Back to Tokyo From After Working For Designers Such as Ross Lovegrove in London, Satoshi Is Showing His First Collection as An Independent Designer in Milano Salone Satelite
The 'Re_' exhibition of a Young Japanese Designer, Satoshi Yanagisawa, shown at Salone Satelite this week is based around the vision of future of sustainability, aiming to reinvent and revitalize the perception of sustainable products with a mix state of art manufacturing, materials and technologies combined with techniques of Japanese local craftsmanship. This is his first collection shown as an independent designer after working at Ross Lovegrove Studio.Having studied Product Design and Sustainable Future in University for Creative Arts and pursued his professional career working with designers such as Ross Lovegrove in London, Satoshi believes that the intrinsic value of a product should not be based around its sustainable credentials but it should base around the user interaction and perception. The most important process of design is not the design of the physical features, however, unfortunately this fundamental process has been emerged as a primary concern in few times which is particularly user's mind especially in Japan.At Milano Salone Satelite, he will be showing his first collection of lights, technology gear such as smart power strip, furniture and interior fixture all highly incorporating the cutting-edge engineering achievement and traditional craftsmanship, to show his vision of sustainable design to come.Below is a preview of some of the works shown by Satoshi at Milano Salone Satelite 2013. We are looking forward to seeing you there!! Lim: Lighting Collection Series of light concept, named 'LIM' is a designed solution encompassing our criteria of a sustainable product. To reduce the amount of components light housing for example is made from pure acrylic manufactured by craftsmen using state of. Taking inspiration from the imageries of 'natural light' seen through everyday life and selecting the latest OLED technology this gives it a natural factor without having any negative impact on the environment through its lifecycle. 2) OTTO: Smart Power Strip Otto is a smart power strip, allowing the user to turn separate sockets on and off and also a dimming function for lighting. The user can control it from a tablet computer or PC. The design gives a clean look to a normally messy household product by hiding the sockets and cables inside the unit. The Organic form evokes feelings of a seamless function and incorporation into its environment. 3) Coffee Table: The visual language of the design are centered around the fact that every object created passes though the hands, minds and hearts of the users. So communication the individual value of each object to the user through design is an important part of visual process. We aim to design objects that will be a catalyst for driving positive cultural change, inspiring society to move towards a more sustainable basis for living. Satoshi was born in Tokyo (1978). As an independent product designer and a sustainable design practitioner, he has received numerous awards and participated actively in events inside and outside of Japan obtaining a wide range of knowledge in different fields. He wishes to continue on with his development work of product design, but he focuses equally on the design activities based on contexts and plans to transmit this knowledge with concrete examples using exhibitions as such in Milan, in hopes to show the solutions to environmental problems through design.Exerpt:The 'Re_' exhibition of a Young Japanese Designer, Satoshi Yanagisawa, shown at Salone Satelite this week is based around the vision of future of sustainability, aiming to reinvent and revitalize the perception of sustainable products with a mix state of art manufacturing, materials and technologies combined with techniques of Japanese local craftsmanship.

Apartment Talk #14: Cara Erskine and Corey Escoto
On May 21st we hosted enlightening talks by Pittsburgh-based artists Cara Erskine and Corey Escoto, both of whom relocated here some years ago and have since been very active in the local (as well as national) art scene. They drew a big crowd of supporters who stuck it out despite stifling heat, and even dared prolonging the proceedings with some great questions.
Cara presented her sculptures, paintings, and collages that take formal and conceptual cues from sports, pop culture, and feminism. Highlighting some of her works that examine perceptions of gender and identity, Cara discussed the public reception of sports icons like Billie Jean King, a recurring figure in her work. Cara also described the important role that construction plays in the materiality of her work and her overall artistic process, from tiny collages to large-scale paintings. Cara earned her MFA from Yale School of Art in 2002 and has exhibited at The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA; Vox Populi, Philadelphia, PA; Front Room, Cleveland, OH; and has had solo exhibitions at Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN; and Stanford University, Stanford, CA. She has taught at Carnegie Mellon University and Robert Morris University, and her art criticism has appeared in Dis Magazine. See more of Cara's work on her website.
Corey talked about his body of experimental, large format analog photographic works created with a recently discontinued Polaroid format. Expanding the zone of instantaneous image production, Corey constructs enigmatic spaces that compress and invert idea, image, and object. These 4×5 instant film prints are unique, multi-exposure proofs created through a process of hand-cutting and registering a series of light-blocking stencils to selectively and sequentially expose the film. As an extension of this process, his sculptures are reverse engineered objects born out of the Polaroids—reifying the cycles, grey areas, and nuances of invention and production. Corey was born in Amarillo, Texas, and his work has been included in many national and international exhibitions at venues such as the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis; FRAC Nord-Pas De Calais, Dunkerque; Galerie de Kunstler, Munich; 7 Days Brunch, Basel; and Regina Rex, Queens, NY. See more of Corey's work on his website. See also Art21's blog, featuring a 2009 interview with Corey.

Energy is the lifeblood of the economy. Arizona's population and energy use are projected to grow for the foreseeable future and our economic prosperity is closely tied to the availability of reliable and affordable supplies of energy. While energy supply, energy demand and the natural environment are at a significant point of conflict, the effect of this tension can be mitigated through a collaborative effort among all stakeholders which can help create balance.
The need for collaboration is at the heart of why the Arizona Technology Council accepted the responsibility of leadership for the Arizona Energy Consortium (AEC) in July, 2011. The effort was established under the auspices of the City of Phoenix related to a grant from the Federal Department of Labor to establish strategies for integrating the workforce needs of targeted green energy industries in Arizona. The City, as part of the central region, was awarded a large portion of the Arizona State Energy Sector Partnership (SESP) grant that agreed to establish an energy consortium to define the workforce needs in the energy arena. Thus, the Arizona Energy Consortium was founded.
City leaders quickly realized they were addressing issues that went well beyond city borders and the workforce. When the City of Phoenix approached the Council about taking AEC under its wing, it made perfect sense to us. The Council has members from every side of the energy equation, from traditional production to renewable and energy conservation. We represent a statewide neutral ground that's not tied to a particular technology, and can embody the entire energy industry.
Today, the AEC is comprised of more than 250 members from the state's diverse energy sectors and is co-chaired by Michelle De Blasi, a partner with the law firm of Quarles & Brady LLP and chair of its Solar Energy Law Team, and Christopher Davey, executive director of EnviroMission. Constituents from city and state governments, utilities, law firms, conservation groups, private industry and universities are all working together to get real work done and break down the silos that have long existed in Arizona.
One of the charters of AEC is to serve as a supportive venue for current and new members locating or expanding their businesses within the state, as well as a repository for reliable information related to the energy industry. In addition, AEC is providing meaningful input towards the development of a long-term Energy Roadmap to strongly promote both economic development initiatives and continued technological innovation across the state. The end result will be similar to the long-term bioscience roadmap initiated by the Flinn Foundation designed to make the state's life sciences sector globally competitive.
Can we achieve energy independence in our lifetime? Given Arizona's unique abundance of sunshine, we certainly have an advantage on the production side of the equation in the renewable energy sector and are well positioned to become an exporter of energy. Arizona possesses many of the essential elements necessary to become a global leader in energy, but must strengthen its will, focus, collaboration and messaging, to achieve this goal. With everyone working together to raise all boats, AEC is taking this holistic approach.
For more information, visit aztechcouncil.org/committees/aec.
Steven G. Zylstra is president and chief executive officer of the Arizona Technology Council.

Adam Wainwright, Cardinals Strike $97.5M Deal
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Adam Wainwright and the Cardinals have agreed to a new contract that guarantees the Cardinals' ace an additional $97.5 million over five years through 2018.
Wainwright had been eligible to become a free agent after the World Series.
The new agreement, first reported by foxsports.com, was confirmed by a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because it had not yet been announced. The Cardinals scheduled a news conference for Thursday at their spring training camp in Jupiter, Fla.
A 31-year-old right-hander, Wainwright was 14-13 with a 3.94 ERA last year after missing the Cardinals' World Series championship season in 2011 because of elbow surgery.
Wainwright was 20-11 with a 2.42 ERA in 2010 and was an NL All-Star.

I am 90%+ sure the traction control that comes with an AWD Model X will be different and unbelievably better than a comparable ICE AWD vehicle's TC. In most ICE AWD vehicles TC works by reducing power to wheels with less traction. What if the car could also add power to individual wheels in addition to take them way in a sophisticated instant real time way? With instant torque, AWD, and good engineering, the TC on an AWD Model X will hold the road better than anything else out by a lot. Add to that the extra frame rigidity and low center of gravity of the Model S battery platform and performance for a CUV/SUV will be off the charts. I can't wait!
I think every one will want the AWD version. When the price differential is announced, probably 30-40
per cent will stay with the regular version.
Re: Does a Model X with AWD have the same range as a Model X without AWD?
I got the distince impression from one of the videos from a Tesla person giving a demo ride was that the front and rear drives have distinct characteristics. As a simpified example one would be favored for lower speed driving (90/10) and the other for higher speed driving (10/90) so it is not really *full* AWD all the time. Meaning it is not using twice the energy because there are two times the number of motors.
Anyone else recall this video or other information about this?
Your assumption is correct. I do not recall exactly which video it was, but Elon did explain that each wheel will get as much power as required (based on calculations from feedback to the computer that will happen every fraction of a second) Therefore the car will have better traction, and also the power required by the back, front, left and right wheels will vary and be calculated by the on board computer throughout the trip. It is truly an intelligent all wheel drive system. A lot of research has gone into this and it will be better than any other available system. The term AWD does not necessarily full time equal power to all four wheels. While the two motor configuration have slightly shorter range, it will not be much, because with two motors, the each motor will have less load than a single motor system would be doing. With an ICE AWD system the energy consumption is the opposite.
"Does a Model X with AWD have the same range as a Model X without AWD?"
It will be close. If all other things are equal then if car is using 25kW to go 60mph it will use same no matter how many wheels are powered.
Differences come from drivetrain mass which is somewhere closer to 150kg and motor efficiency: half the torque needed / motor to get same overall torque, so load / motor is smaller which might lead better efficiency. Or not. Increased mass decreases range, lower load increases it (I'm guessing).
Re: Anyone else recall this video or other information about this?
Here is the video I was referring to.
Yes, those closing comments about the different uses and "tuning" of front and rear motors are significant. Suggests different reduction gears, too.
They might be different sizes too. To quote my pal Brian H: "No buddy nose".
Long ago I remember there was discussion about how having dual motors will allow more aggressive regen and that alone would compensate for efficiency lost through the extra weight. For those with better understanding of auto engineering than myself, to what extent does that make sense to you?
Right now, regen puts drag on the rear wheels only. In braking, most drag is on the front wheels. Adding AWD regen will substantially improve it. The extra weight of a second electric motor is probably <5% of the car's mass.
Correct. Wait and see. Stop speculating.
Do we think if the headlight will turn according to the wheel turning direction will help to find the direction more effecient? Do we also need that function for Tesla? Adding camera at front will help to do the auto function for cruise control too.
Benz enjoys speculating himself into a fever. It's self-entertainment. Or ADHD.
You will see my Tesla grin before I even own a Tesla if the AWD upgrade turns out to be cheap. That should be enough reason to charge not too much right .... ?
Why would you want to cheapen your Grin? >:) >;p
Only reason to get a Model X is AWD, IMHO. Give me a smaller Model S with AWD, something to compete more with a Subaru WRX/STI! Would have put down 40k deposit for one already. Let's go Tesla!
The AWD option in Model X is the only reason I'm a reservation holder of Model X, instead of Model S. This is mainly because I live in the North-East US region... we do have winters! :)
From everything I've seen, Model S should handle just fine, but if I'm going to spend $75-90k (whatever the price ends up being) on a really awesome car, I'd like to add that little extra bit of "insurance" (AWD option). :)
The gul-wings... hawk-wings (whatever) is the "eye-candy" for the wife to brag about. I just hope that they don't restrict functionality by having this design.

WHAT I DO: Chief Marketing Officer, Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media, Turner Broadcasting Inc. Manage a multimillion dollar budget and staff of 140 people; responsible for marketing, creative and strategy for Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Boomerang, seen in 100 million households.
EDUCATION: Majored in chemical engineering as an undergrad. Spent two years designing thermal insulation for rockets before returning to Maryland for MBA.
1992: Started as an analyst with Mobil Oil Corporation. After year and a half of "being a number-cruncher," she was appointed to a "stretch role," temporary management assignment, in a multi-million supply and distribution hub in New Jersey as a Supply Distribution General Manager. "I discovered it is a lot easier to manage MBA types than truckers and union workers who are much older than you, and have done it all and seen it all ".
1997: Recruited to Pepsi as a Market Unit Manager Designate, part of a general management program training executives to run certain regions of the country; P&L responsibility. Got to work in each of the departments she'd be managing, and loved marketing so much that she left the general management track.
1999: Moved to Frito-Lay to manage the fat-free potato chip line; launched the WOW! line of products.
2000: Took a brand manager position with ABC Radio Network. Realized she loved the entertainment space.
2002: Moved to Viacom, where she held positions with VH1 and Nickelodeon.
2008: Became CMO for the animation and young adults division at Turner Broadcasting System.
Big break: "The job at Viacom wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for a mentor who arranged a meet and greet with the president of Viacom's Entertainment Division, Herb Scannell. There were five TVs on in his office and I thought I have 30 seconds to make an impact. I knew I had to have a lot of passion and energy in my elevator pitch. How can a former rocket engineer help Viacom in the TV business? I pitched my left-brain right-brain connection and then left. I was halfway down the escalator when my phone rang, and it was his assistant. I went back up the escalator and I spent the rest of the day there, talking to his entire executive team."
THE ENVIRONMENT: "From a digital perspective, how we market our content and products has changed so dramatically. We are giving people content wherever they want it -- they record it, VOD, stream it on a phone, download it on an iPad from Netflix. In the new world of content on demand, great brand strategy is more important than ever before. The very business model for how we make our money in the entertainment space is being challenged and we must evolve our strategies to meet the needs of the new competitive environment.
BIG CHALLENGE: Being called in to do turnaround. "At Cartoon Network, I had to quickly look under the hood; the structure was wrong and talent assessments needed to be made; there were the right people but sometimes in the wrong job. I had to do a lot of work creating the new leadership team with the right staff. You're expected to have impact within 60-90 days when you're sitting in a big chair. It can seem overwhelming, but the organization and your staff look to you, the leader, to be a source of strength, calm and confidence while managing through change."
BIG TIP: "Make sure that you absolutely love what you do. You have to want this post more than anyone else. It's about skill, but equally important, is your will."

Late summer and early autumn are upon us. Summer holidays are moving from present reality to fond memory. Holiday time is precious and necessary for us to muse, in hopefully less stressful and more beautiful surroundings, upon our work, its meaning, and how we can improve, enhance, and develop it. Perhaps it is no coincidence, then, that early autumn is the time for many academic conferences. Several Beyond Distance colleagues and I will be attending the ALT-C Conference 7-9 September in Nottingham, and I am really looking forward to a time of sharing with and learning from other learning technology practitioners. I expect to come away from the conference with fresh ideas and insights to apply to my work.
I spent part of my holiday time in Edinburgh, where I enjoyed visiting the Camera Obscura,the main attraction in a museum of fascinating optical exhibits. Not having heard the term camera obscura before, I learnt it was much like a periscope, located on the 5th floor in the charming old building's tower, in which a mirror picks up and directs images from around Edinburgh Castle down to a round table where observers can enjoy a 360 degree virtual guided tour of Edinburgh. Patrick Geddes, the town planner who in 1892 bought the tower and promoted it to the public, used to rush visitors up the steps to the top in the belief that the blood rush to their heads would heighten their experience of the camera obscura's images. In addition to this exhibit, he included displays of biological and zoological topics, so as to encourage visitors to think about all the wonders of the world around them in a holistic sense. After viewing these, he would guide visitors to a meditation room, where they could think through and personalise the images they had seen and the facts they had learnt. Geddes believed in the power of reflection to enrich the inner person and to bring learning to the practical and personal realm.
The photo is from another exhibit within the Camera Obscura museum; I think its name is Infinity. It was produced by two large boxes of mirrors containing many LED lights. The lights and images seemed to go on infinitely. That makes for a lot of reflection.
I wish you a lovely early autumn and I hope it is a time of productive and enriching reflection for you. And maybe I'll see you at ALT-C!

With camping comes campfire food, including peppered bacon for breakfast. And who doesn't love bacon? Jamie and I don't have bacon at home all that often - except for turkey bacon every now and then - but when I suggested turkey bacon for the camping trip, he gave me a look that said that wouldn't be at all acceptable. Okay, okay, so we got real bacon.
We had a few pieces leftover, and it seemed like it would be a nice addition to BBQ chicken. I've made BBQ chicken a few times in the crock pot, and it's succulent and tender every time, so if you haven't cooked chicken this way, I suggest you try it immediately!
Jamie and I eat dinner pretty late, so I don't mind waiting a few hours for the crock pot to do the work, but if you're in a hurry, just follow this same recipe, only bake it in the oven in a baking dish, covered with foil, for about an hour at 400 F, or until chicken is cooked through.
Last night, we made open-faced sandwiches with the shredded chicken and a few sliced tomatoes, with homemade Vanilla Bean Apple-Date Sauce on the side. Completely simple and incredibly satisfying.
Printable Recipe
Crockpot BBQ Chicken with Bacon
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked but not too crispy, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
Place all of the ingredients into your crock pot and stir so that everything is coated in the BBQ sauce. Turn it to high, cover and cook for 2 1/2 hours.
Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and shred with two forks. Return shredded meat to the pot and toss with the sauce until well coated.
Toast some thick slices of good bread, top with sliced tomatoes and the shredded chicken for a yummy open-faced sandwich.

10 p.m.: Ground Kontrol Arcade
Ground Kontrol undoubtedly aids Portland in living up to its title as pinball capital of the U.S. The arcade contains 27 machines, making lines for games impossible. Perhaps the most enticing aspect of Ground Kontrol, besides the fact that there is no entrance fee, is its triumph in bridging the old-school games with the latest high-tech games.

So do not feel ashamed of being giddy as you enter the arcade for surely you will find others your age to share the excitement.
No admission charge. Pay as you play.
(503) 796-9364
511 NW Couch St.
2:30 a.m.: The Roxy Diner
If you're looking for cheap eats at 3 a.m., look no further than the Roxy. Perfect for a late-night snack, or meal, the Roxy provides everything ranging from breakfast food to fried chicken. Be sure to try the Quentin Tarantuna Sandwich, one of the Roxy's many tributes to the beloved film star. The plethora of neon signs inside is a beacon of hope for those wandering around the streets of SW Portland with an empty stomach.

212 Southwest Stark St.
10 a.m.: Portland Saturday Market
It's touristy, crowded, you've probably been there before, but we love it anyway: the Saturday Market near Burnside Bridge. Wander the booths selling everything from jewelry made out of old spoons to tie-dyed sundresses. While you're there, grab a sandwich and some fruit for a bag lunch.
Open the first weekend in March through December 24.
(503) 241-4188
2 SW Naito Pkwy.
11 a.m.: Pittock Mansion
Believe it or not, Portland was once a quiet lumber town and not the bustling metropolis we see now. Pittock Mansion, located in the West Hills of Portland, overlooks the city and remains a symbol of the transition from small town to urban center. Not only does Pittock Mansion offer an unbeatable view of the city, but it provides a rich historical background of what Portland once was through guided tours and mini museums.

(503) 239-4756
3610 Southeast Hawthorne Blvd.
7 p.m.: The Backspace Café
After a long day of exploring, end on a comfortable note at the Backspace Café. If you haven't already gotten your fill of hipsterdom, then this place will do the trick. Besides flannel uniformed waiters and pierced pretentious baristas, they have coffee, as well as alcoholic beverages, and are one of the few all-ages entertainment venues in Portland.

Local Investors Expect at Least One to Two More Years Before Recovery is Realized
Public Company Information:
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to a new Charles Schwab survey, over half of Chicago investors think the recession will continue for at least another year. Only 5 percent believe the recession has already ended.
While an increase in unemployment is an indicator that the recession is over from an economic perspective, survey respondents note it is one of two personal indicators that the recession is in fact not over. For one third (33 percent) of respondents, the defining moment for the end of the recession will be when people begin finding jobs again. Another 29 percent of Chicagoans will feel the recession has ended when home prices in the neighborhood return to pre-recession prices.
"Despite the recent increase in investor confidence, we're hearing from many of our clients that they don't feel they can move out of recession mode to recovery mode," said Jim Stoops, financial consultant at Charles Schwab in Naperville, Ill. "We're helping each client cope with the economy by revisiting budgets and adjusting portfolios to better reflect their risk tolerance."
Chicagoans Devise Own Bailout Plan
Chicagoans have proven committed to making moves that lessen the burden caused by the market environment over the past two years:
- Living below their means: More than half (55 percent) reduced everyday living expenses, with an additional 51 percent now preparing more meals at home
- Home is where the heart is: Over one in four (26 percent) delayed or canceled a vacation
- Lean on me: 24 percent helped a family member with money
- Staying put: One in five (21 percent) delayed selling or buying a house
- Living in the now: 14 percent decreased the amount of money going to retirement accounts
"While we're happy to see the Chicago community's proactive approach to their finances, we're concerned that the recession has impeded the retirement planning of many," said Stoops. "Successful retirement planning requires ongoing vigilance and dedication, particularly in difficult financial times. A financial consultant can often provide the necessary guidance to keep investors on track, and we encourage Chicagoans to visit a local Schwab branch for a free financial check-up and ensure their plan still fits their risk tolerance, income and timeline."
You Don't have to Go It Alone
Chicago investors have access to a broad range of Schwab resources:
- Local assistance for clients, including free workshops about financial basics, fixed income investing, research and trading, and retirement and estate planning. For more information, visit http://www.schwab.com/chicago and find a branch near you
- Free financial check-up, for all, with a financial professional. For more information, visit http://www.schwab.com/chicago to schedule an appointment at a local branch

- New Client and Rollover concierge programs to make transitioning to Schwab easy
- Timely market insights provided online at www.schwab.com/marketinsight, as well as emailed regularly and published quarterly in On Investing magazine for clients
For More Information
Schwab clients are encouraged to reach out to their Financial Consultant to get more specific advice around their situations or take advantage of our complimentary consultation. For those who do not have a Financial Consultant or are not yet a Schwab client but would like to learn more, one of our Investment Consultants can help. Please call 800-540-0078 to get started.

With a new album and another season as a judge and mentor on NBC's The Voice, Blake Shelton is a busy guy.
His new album, Based on a True Story … , will be released Tuesday (March 26), and he'll start the day with an appearance on NBC's Today. Thursday's schedule includes stops at Live! With Kelly and Michael and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
After other rounds that include an acoustic concert Friday at Joe's Bar in Chicago, he'll be heading to the West Coast for an April 2 performance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and April 3 appearances on The Talk and Chelsea Lately. Oh, and he and Luke Bryan are co-hosting the 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on April 7.
That's just the tip of the iceberg as far as his media appearances.
Before his schedule kicked into overdrive, CMT Hot 20 Countdown co-host Katie Cook spent some quality time with Shelton to talk about the new album, his upcoming tour and the challenges a married man faces in making music videos.
Cook: Let's talk about the name of the album, Based on a True Story … .
Shelton: (laughs) I don't really have a good story. You always get these emails after you've made the album. You'll start getting this barrage of text and emails from the label going, "We need an album title, we need an album title, we need an album title." The worst is always when you just name the album after a song that's on there. I do that a lot, too. But I was like, "No, I'm not doing that this time." I listened to the record several times just trying to get ideas, and it hit me as I was listening to it, "Man, every one of these songs, I either am now or have been in this situation at some point in my life." It really is true, and that's when it hit me. I said, "We'll just call it Based on a True Story… . It kinda is what it is. I wish I had a better story for you.
No, that's good. It's based on you. I was thinking you made this album in the busiest time of your life. Did you worry that you might have sacrificed when it came to picking songs or having enough time in the studio?
Yeah, I did worry about that. I was like, "Are we settling?" But I always have those thoughts making a record. … By the way, we did all the vocals for the album at my house in Los Angeles, which was a different experience. Scott [Hendricks, his producer] and I were talking in the house one day. I was like, "Hell, let's sing 'Boys Around Here' today — or whichever song that would've been on the album. I was like, "I still remember the first time I heard that two years ago."
Then it hit me. I was like, "I started putting this album together the day that we finished the Red River Blue album." You know, you're always looking for songs. Then I relaxed a little bit and realized I'm constantly looking for songs. Whether you're making an album or not, you're always stockpiling them.
So it's not an overnight thing. You don't have to rush and put 12 songs together.
I've never made records that way. Sometimes when we find something we're really excited about, we'll go in and record it right then and just leave it on a shelf until it's time to use it. That's been the case with this record, also.
With Red River Blue, it was the first time that you debuted on top of the country album chart and the Billboard 200. That's a huge milestone. So with this album, do you feel a little bit more relaxed, or does that put even more pressure on you?
Well, I guess it puts on a little pressure. I think it puts pressure on me from an industry standpoint, but personally I like to take the easy way and go, "Screw it. I did it once, I'm happy." If I never debut on the top again, I can still say I've done it. You never can tell. Sometimes you think, "Man, there's no way I can't have the No. 1. It's gonna be No. 1." Then Garth Brooks or somebody decides to put out an album the same day, and it squashes your project.
He hasn't released anything new lately, so that's not happening quite so much anymore.
Well, you never know with him.
Let's talk about the new video, "Sure Be Cool If You Did." You're hanging with the guys when they're hitting on the ladies, but when it comes to any love scenes or talking about romance, you're not in those scenes so much.
I'm running block. I'm running block for the other guys.
Is that what it is? You have such a high-profile marriage now with Miranda Lambert . Would it be awkward to do love scenes in a video?
Yeah, if you notice, I haven't done any intimate scenes with a girl in any of my videos since I've been married. Just because it seems … I don't know. Somehow, even though it's just a video, it seems weird or disrespectful to me a little bit. Only in my case because Miranda is a country artist, too, and she's not behind the scenes. Everybody knows that we're married, and it just seems weird. I guess if everybody didn't know who my wife was and that we're married, maybe it would make more sense. Also I don't want to hear it from her, like, "Oh! I see how you're touchin' her!"
Your upcoming tour is named after a song on the album, "Ten Times Crazier." Is this an indication of what the tour will be like?
Yeah. I had so much fun last year. We didn't get to tour as much as we normally would. … But I did have a ball last year. I think we toured four months or three months at the beginning of the year before I got busy with the show [The Voice]. I just had a ball with it, and it was like a big party in those arenas. I was so surprised every night to walk out there and see that because I've always been the guy opening for someone in those type of buildings. To be the headliner and to have that control of my show, whatever I want to do, we can do. So I don't think it really soaked in on me how much fun it still can be. There are still other levels of craziness we can get into, and that's what I was thinking when we named the tour. Because I do think it's gonna be crazier than the last one we did.
Editor's note: The second part of CMT Hot 20 Countdown's interview with Blake Shelton will run Wednesday (March 27) on CMT.com.
