Higher gas prices cloud Obama's re-election hopes
WASHINGTON — Soaring gasoline prices are threatening to undercut President Barack Obama's re-election prospects and offering Republicans an easy target. With prices pushing $4 a gallon and threatening to go even higher, Obama sought Thursday to confront rising public anxiety and strike back at his GOP critics.

Alterations in cerebrospinal fluid proteins in a presymptomatic primary glioma model.
PLoS One. 2012; (11): e49724
Understanding the early relationship between brain tumor cells and their environment could lead to more sensitive biomarkers and new therapeutic strategies. We have been using a rodent model of neurocarcinogenesis in which all animals develop brain tumors by six months of age to establish two early landmarks in glioma development: the appearance of a nestin(+) cell at thirty days of age and the appearance of cellular hyperplasia between 60 and 120 days of age. We now report an assessment of the CSF proteome to determine the changes in protein composition that occur during this period.

Latest Reviews for Silver Earrings
I liked them but the person I bought them for did not.I have returned them.
It's very beautiful and good quality pair of earrings.
While I love the earrings, the dimensions given are deceiving. I expected the actual tear drop to be 1 1/8 inches, but the actual size of the earring is just over an inch, measuring from the top of the wire to the bottom of the tear drop, very disappointing :-( Still, they are lovely ;o)
These earrings are beautiful, nice & shiney, well-made. Can be worn for special occasions, or just for every day. Very satisfied with them.

Easy and very little ingredients. Turned out pretty good, I made it for my 1.5 year old, and he likes it. Convenient, I'll keep it to make again when I need to make a quick dish. Thanks :)
This is the only way i'll make scrambled eggs now, it is so much easier, faster and it's deliciously moist and tasty. I don't use the tomatoes.
make sure you adjust the time in microwave based on your microwave. my eggs were VERY overcooked. i did 2 intervals of 45 seconds each, bad idea. i might try this recipe again sometime, no mess is a big plus

The Wait Is Over Seattle – Q Nightclub Opens September 8!
The wait is over! Q Nightclub, located at 1426 Broadway on Seattle's Capitol Hill, opens to the public on Saturday, September 8 starring world-renown DJs Quentin Harris and Hot House's very own Little Rock. Oh, and there is no cover charge on opening night! Q features a custom sound system from UK sound pioneers Funktion One, lighting design by SJ Lighting, and an interior by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson built by Dovetail. Each of the bars and lounges were given a distinct identity. The main bar is an asymmetrical island faced with vertical shingle-style metal panels and topped by a curving slab of white quartzite over 70 feet long. Overhead, custom light fixtures of suspended metal rods with illuminated tips form a glowing halo around the bar's perimeter. The DJ booth anchors the west end of the space and is designed as a series of platforms that seem to rise out of the dance floor. Q's custom Funktion One sound system ranks as the only one of its caliber on the West Coast. The main lighting grid comprises 25 moving heads, 47 spots, 388 LED panels, and four disco balls.
Quentin Harris – A New York-based house music DJ and producer, Harris' roots in music go back to the beginning of Detroit house. He also worked with R&B legends Anita Baker and Aretha Franklin in his earlier studio career. Today, his sound encompasses every niche of electronic dance music and captivates crowds intrigued by where he'll go next, thus securing Harris as one of music's most in demand remixers.
Little Rock – Of course everyone here at Hot House knows DJ Little Rock (aka HH Creative Director Brent Smith). An underground club staple, Little Rock has manned the decks at New York icons Palladium and Limelight, as well as creating sexy beats around San Francisco. Little Rock fans love his creative and often outrageous remixes which range from huge names like Whitney Houston and Madonna to underground hits like "The Winding Song" by Double Plus Good which went to #2 on the Billboard Dance Charts.
Scott Smith, one of the owners and managing partner of Q, was one of the original owners of xl — which opened in 1999 in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood and ranked as one of the city's top small clubs/gay bars. Known for its high design, xl was the first club in America to feature computer aided LED lighting. "It's the spirit of the small club scene that interests me," says Smith. "We're going to do what we do best — electronic dance music, and we're doing it on Capitol Hill. That's our focus, to be a neighborhood club where you can expect exceptional music every day of the week."
Hot House will be in the Q when President Steven Scarborough and Sister Roma join Little Rock for the trip up the coast. Join us for an amazing night – Seattle will never be the same!

Diving the Poor Knights is a must for anyone in possession of a scuba certificate visiting New Zealand. There are many boats running day trips to the chain of islands but did a two day/one night live aboard with Ocean Blue. The obvious advantage to this is maximizing diving time along with the fun of staying on a boat and being looked after by the dive master qualified husband and wife team. Food was both all inclusive and wonderful.
The Poor Knights Islands and the waters around them are protected by 900m no fishing zone so the size of fish shoals can be quite staggering. Equally the diversity of soft corals growing on the walls and pinnacles, not to mention the animals that inhabit them, make diving there a unique experience. Larger predators, including Manta rays, Hammerhead sharks and even Killer Whales have been spotted there on occasion.
Watching the sun set over the islands with a sky full of returning seabirds finished off a fabulous day's diving.

Tomorrow will mark three weeks since the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. The wretchedness of that day has touched off a national debate about preventing mass murders — as it should. But lately the conversation has narrowed to gun control.
In a year-end interview, responding to a question about the political fights ahead, President Barack Obama voiced his support for banning assault rifles and high-capacity clips, and for better background checks for gun buyers. What I didn't hear from the president was a vow to strengthen our mental health system to treat people like Adam Lanza before they descend into madness. Whatever Lanza's technical diagnosis — schizophrenia? — executing two classrooms of first-graders is by definition mad.
Gun control is easier to discuss, because there is an identifiable, organized opposition in the National Rifle Association. But mental illness is harder to recognize, reach and heal. (more…)

It all looked very bad on Friday. Fire on the Utrecht train station. So I tough that would ruin my plans for the weekend.

What is Graduation Matters Montana?
Superintendent Juneau launched a statewide effort in the spring of 2010 to ensure Montana's public schools graduate more students prepared for college and careers.
Download the print-friendly version
Objectives of Graduation Matters Montana:
- Increase the rate of Montana students graduating from high school college- and career-ready.
- Establish a support network between schools, businesses and community organizations for student success.
- Create school-based and community-based opportunities for student success.
Local Graduation Matters Initiatives
Superintendent Juneau supports the implementation of locally-designed Graduation Matters initiatives that engage schools, communities, businesses and families in a focused effort to increase the number of students who graduate prepared for college and careers. Thirty-three communities have joined Graduation Matters, including all AA schools, smaller, more rural schools, and schools on or near our state's Indian Reservations. Seventy percent of high school students attend a Graduation Matters school, and nearly 8,500 students have taken the pledge to graduate.
In March of 2012, the Office of Public Instruction received a three-year grant from the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation for $450,000 to allow more communities to work to lower their dropout rates. Communities that applied for the challenge fund received up to $10,000 to implement successful dropout prevention strategies. This year twenty five communities received the challenge fund to assist them in achieving higher goals, and if these communities are successful in reaching their goals, Graduation Matters will be able to cut the statewide dropout rate in half by 2014.
Student-Centered Policies
Oftentimes, adults plan and discuss educational policy, but rarely talk to the people who will be most directly affected by those plans and discussions: the students. To include student ideas and voices in state-level policies, Superintendent Juneau created the Superintendent's Student Advisory Board.
Twice each year, forty students gather to discuss ways to improve educational opportunities for all students, raise the graduation rate and encourage more students to pursue education and training after graduation. The Student Advisory Board consistently reports that they seek relevant coursework and real-world experiences, clear and consistent rules, a positive school climate and meaningful relationships at their schools. There have now been four Student Advisory Board Summits. To see reports from each Summit, click here.
Policy Changes
Superintendent Juneau proposed covering the cost of the ACT for every high school junior in the Office of Public Instruction's budget at the 2011 Legislature. Funding to cover the cost of the ACT for every junior has been secured through a seven-year grant under the Commissioner of Higher Education's GEAR UP program. This partnership between OPI and OCHE will provide a complete picture of how well our K-12 public education system is preparing all students for life after high school and provide every Montana junior the opportunity to assess their college-readiness. The 2012-13 school year was the first year of every Montana junior taking the ACT.
Superintendent Juneau recommended the Board of Public Education approve more rigorous English and math standards. The new English and math standards adopted by the Board of Public Education are higher and clearer than Montana's previous standards and will prepare our students for college and to compete in today's global economy. She also convened a task force to review Montana's accreditation standards to make them more performance-based and to provide school districts needed flexibility to focus on results.
During the 2013 Legislative Session, Superintendent Juneau championed Graduation Matters Montana bills to raise the legal dropout age to "age 18 or upon graduation," to provide schools with funding to educate 19-year-old students, to increase funding for career and technical education student organizations (CTSOs) and for the Montana Digital Academy. Funding requests for CTSOs and the Montana Digital Academy were successful, and thousands of students will reap the benefits from these expanded services. Superintendent Juneau will continue to support legislation and administrative policies that set high expectations for students, provide career exploration opportunities, and create safe learning environments.
Relevant Coursework and Career Preparation
In Montana, all high school students take at least one career and technical education course, and over half take three or more. Discussions with students make it clear they desire classes that relate to real-world experiences, career preparation and include hands-on learning. Superintendent Juneau supports the expansion of Big Sky Pathways, a partnership with the Montana University System that links students to career coursework paths so they earn college credits and explore careers while they are in high school.
Workforce projections by the U.S. Department of Labor show that by 2018, nine of the 10 fastest-growing occupations that require at least a bachelor's degree will also require significant scientific or mathematical training. Superintendent Juneau is convening education stakeholders and business partners to create a pipeline for students to be prepared for careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math through OPI's statewide STEM initiative.
Business and Community Partnerships
Montana employers want an educated and innovative workforce, and schools understand they need to develop new strategies to achieve the goal of preparing educated, work-ready graduates. Superintendent Juneau and local Graduation Matters initiatives are working with statewide and local business partners to engage business and community leaders who are committed to helping students graduate prepared for college and careers and to ensuring Montana communities thrive in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. To assist in these efforts, the OPI has developed a business and school partnership toolkit.
I Pledge to Graduate Campaign
Research shows that students are more likely to reach a goal if they identify their own motivations when committing to meet it. Superintendent Juneau, in partnership with local school districts and the Student Advisory Board, launched an "I Pledge to Graduate" initiative in the 2011-2012 school year. Since then, nearly 8,500 students have taken the pledge.
Students pledge to a significant adult that they will graduate and identify specific reasons why graduation is important to them. This high-profile campaign focuses statewide attention on Graduation Matters Montana, engages community and business partners, involves social networking and highlights student voices and ideas.

Current GMM partners include:
GMM Legislation
The Graduation Matters Montana Legislative Agenda
Senate Bill 13, Raise the Legal Dropout Age to "age 18 or upon graduation"
Currently, Montana students can drop out of high school at age 16, making a decision that will impact them for the rest of their lives. SB 13 sets a statewide expectation that Montana students should graduate from high school while also providing flexibility for students to pursue other educational options. The last time this law was changed was 90 years ago. In today's global economy, a high school diploma, at minimum, is necessary for students to have a chance at being successful adults. (OPI estimates an additional 244 students each year will stay in school, $2.1M)
Want to know more? Download OPI's fact sheet on SB 13
Funding for the Montana Digital Academy to Meet Increased Demand
The MTDA is providing classes to 3,500 students enrolled in 5,500 courses annually. In Montana's rural schools, the MTDA is providing students with access to elective courses that have never before been available, including world languages and AP courses. In our urban schools, the credit recovery classes are allowing students who lack the necessary credits to graduate catch up with their peers, increasing graduation rates in our largest school districts. With the increasing demand for these courses from Montana students, it is expected the MTDA will grow to 10,000 course enrollments annually by 2015. ($745,384 and $783,219 or $1.5M increase from base of $1.17M)
Senate Bill 14, Provide Funding for Educating 19-Year-Olds
Some students need an additional year or semester to finish their high school diploma; however, schools do not receive any funding to educate 19-year-olds. Montana needs to update this law to reflect the cost of keeping students in school and ensure they graduate. (Estimated cost: $861,000 to serve 110 students per year)
Want to know more? Download OPI's fact sheet on SB 14
House Bill 86, Invest in Career and Technical Education Student Programs
Montana's Career and Technical Education Student Organizations (CTSOs) currently serve 6,287 students. Students who participate in organizations such as FFA, HOSA, and FCCLA gain valuable leadership experience and skills they can use in the workforce and higher education. Additionally, students who take three or more CTE courses have a graduation rate of 96.2 percent. The OPI requests $1M to support CTSOs. The goal of HB 86 is to increase student participation by 10 percent each year of the biennium, resulting in a total of 7,500 students participating in CTSOs by the end of the second year.

Press Releases
Juneau Announces $165,000 in Grants to 25 Graduation Matters Schools
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Helena, MT - Superintendent Denise Juneau announced the award of 25 grants to Montana schools to increase the number of Montana students who graduate from high school prepared for college and careers, for a total of $165,000 to support local Graduation Matters initiatives across the state. The Office of Public Instruction was awarded $450,000 over three years from the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation to support community-based Graduation Matters initiatives. In addition, State Farm Insurance granted the OPI $15,000 to add to the GMM Challenge Fund Grants this year.
Superintendent Juneau stated, "These grants have helped jumpstart Graduation Matters initiatives across the state and are now supporting successful strategies that were implemented during the first year of the grant program. The statewide graduation rate is moving in the right direction due to the hard work happening at the local level across Montana."
Montana's graduation rate has improved from 80.2 percent in 2010 to 83.9 percent in 2012. In the 2011-2012 school year, the number of dropouts decreased by more than 130 students, and the graduation rate increased by 1.7 percent to 83.9 percent.
Stated Mike Halligan, Executive Director of the Washington Foundation, "As a major employer in Montana, Washington Corporation knows that an educated workforce starts with every student graduating from high school. The Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation is pleased to be partnering with OPI, State Farm Insurance and communities across the state to develop effective, innovative strategies to increase our state's graduation rate."
In the first year of the Challenge Fund grant, Graduation Matters communities have focused on identifying students most at risk of dropping out, developing new dropout prevention strategies and interventions, building community support, and offering students college and career exploration opportunities. Graduation Matters communities have partnered with 250 local businesses and community organizations and reduced the credit deficiencies of more than 1,000 high school students.
Mike Miller, local agent for State Farm Insurance said, "State Farm is honored to support OPI's efforts to engage schools, communities and local businesses in the effort to raise graduation rates in Montana. As State Farm's CEO Edward B. Rust says, 'We believe the success of the future lies in the youth of today.'"

The new year was welcomed with style as the Best Western Lafayette Gardens Inn hosted two different celebrations that had party-goers dancing their way into 2013. The band Barstool Prophets was featured at the inn's cocktail lounge while Reason Why was featured in the ballroom.
Earlier in the day, Granger Inns Inc., the parent company of the Best Western Lafayette Garden Inn, Managing Partner Scott Malone attended to the final details for the year-end celebrations.
"We always do a New Year's Eve party but this year is the first time we have two different bands playing in the two different areas. A lot of people are excited about putting 2012 behind them and ringing in 2013," Malone said. "We are all really optimistic about this new year."
The Barstool Prophets have a large following and are quite a popular band. Between sets, band members C.J. Johnson and Brock Umfress described their band's musical style.
"We are a down-home, southern-fried, blues, funk and soul band, and we just love to play at New Year's Eve parties," Johnson said. "I hope in 2013 we have a chance to do more charity work and help people who need it."
"I don't want a whole lot, just want to keep breathing and taking care of my kids," Umfress said.
It wasn't long before their break was over when they joined the other members of their band, Beau Carper, Terry Brown, Lanier Keith and Jayson Wilson to get the crowd in the lounge rocking again.
People in the lounge were optimistic about what 2013 would bring to them.
Terrie Holcombe, along with her best friend Georgann Richards, were there to listen to the band and bring in the new year together.
"I just recently moved back to LaGrange, so for 2013 I am looking forward to spending more time with my grandchildren and my family," Holcombe said.
Eric Bennett, who three months ago had open heart surgery, proudly pulled his shirt up to reveal the still-red scar running through the upper portion of his chest.
"I am looking forward to getting healthier. What got me through all of this is the support of my family and friends and the great doctors at Emory," Bennett said.
In the ballroom the music had more of a rock 'n' roll and oldies flavor, but also had a core following of loyal fans. Reasons Why is a band who has its roots deep in LaGrange and was originally formed 40 years ago when two of the members were back in high school. Russ Everitt, Greg Gregory, Wesley Long, Sam Thrower, James Furgerson, Ronnie Everitt and Robin Treadwell had the crowd up on their feet dancing throughout the night.
Debbie Hartman was there with her husband, Mickey, and a few of her friends, including Elizabeth Gunn. Hartman makes it her business to attend events where the band is playing.
"I went to school with three of the original members and when they got back together about three years ago, one of the members emailed me to let me know and I have been following them ever since," Hartman said.
In 2013, Hartman is also looking forward to spending more time with her grandchildren while Gunn is expecting her first grandchild on June 21.
Over to one side of the room Susan Allen and Donell Turner were keeping track of the time and taking a short break from dancing.
"When this band plays, I like to be here to listen to them. I grew up with some of the guys and it's fun to see them," Allen said. "We always feel comfortable here, we never have to worry about being hassled."
While Allen is looking forward to the birth of her first granddaughter in February, Turner is hoping that the economy will get better this year.
Carson Daly's Times Square New Year's Eve show was on a big screen, which featured the "official" countdown for the more than 100 guests in the ballroom to the big moment. Champagne glasses were filled and given to each one of the guests until 2013 was welcomed in with the roar of horns, shouting and much kissing and clinging of glasses. The band then led the group in singing "Old Lang Syne" as "Happy New Year" wishes were given and glasses were raised.
Event manager Tony Hardy's careful attention to all the details of the evening paid off for all. Couples and friends welcomed in 2013 by enjoying music, food and drink, with warm wishes for the new year.

Quoted from ""posse24""
in fact ,does the title mean : " go beyond the limits in every place " ? :?
If it does mean that then it would make more sense grammatically to call it Excess In All Areas. Excess All Areas just doesn't make sense.

A shockingly poor attempt at anything other than repetitive, unimaginative, bland noise. It can only appealing to that unfortunate bunch of O.C. and Dawson's Creek loving sub-humans.
Busted-esque is a compliment! How Hollywood has ruined a generation! Person 1: "Aren't Maroon 5 shit?"
Person 2: "Yes, good call." |

A band of the rock/indie/adult alternative/funk genre. Fronted by Adam Levine. Some of their best hits include 'This Love' and 'Sunday Morning'. Previously known as Karas Flowers. Person 1: Have you heard Adam Levine's band recently?
Person 2: Yeah, Maroon 5 kick ass! |

The band that Lance Bass and George Micheal have erotic fantasies to. Words cannot describe how terrible this group is. They call themselves Funk, but sound more like downs-syndromed Reggae laced with mainstream Pop. Their fanbase consists of poor, helpless junior high school girls who don't have souls. Maroon 5 make the Beach Boys look badass.

A great band in a music industry today where you can get by with talentless guitarists and overwrought whiny emo lyrics (see Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, etc.) The band is a blend of rock,pop, and funk. The musicians are all very talented especially lead guitarist Adam Levine. The band has gotten a bad rep because emo kids don't like the happy, upbeat lyrics. Theres no depression or cutting of wrists in Maroon 5's music so why should emo kids care? Maroon 5 is a great band

A band that used to be fantastic. Maroon 5 actually formed at the camp I used to go to (French Woods Festival) and released a phenomenal first album in Songs About Jane. It's hard to describe exactly how much that album means to me. It was one of my favorite CD's back when I was growing up, and I still love that album! It stands the test of time that well! The songs (with the exception of "Must Get Out" and "She Will Be Loved") were/are very well written both musically and lyrically. The sound on that album is basically like a mix of funk, alternative, and pop-rock. The result: one of the most unique albums of this generation. However lately, they have been drifting further and further away from that classic sound I know and love to the point where I feel uncomfortable still referring to this band as "Maroon 5". Their songs have become really watered down and stripped from everything I liked about Songs About Jane. I've reached the conclusion that the band needs to break up so singer, Adam Levine can go solo and continue to go down this sell-out route himself. It's not like he NEEDS the name "Maroon 5" for recognition. For fuck's sake, he's the only guy anyone gives a shit about. And he's a judge on The Voice, so he's big enough of a celebrity on his own. Maroon 5 today is basically an Adam Levine solo project. While I don't mind when "Moves Like Jagger" comes on the radio if by any chance I am even listening (it's actually pretty fuckin' catchy!), this isn't the Maroon 5 that I've been a fan of since elementary school- and am still a fan of to this date.
If you asked me what my favorite Maroon 5 song is, I would say "The Sun". The lyrics are wonderful, I like the tone, I like the beat, and I like whatever amp setting the guitar is played through. Unfortunately, we won't be hearing songs like that from them ever again unless they get their shit together. We'll just be stuck with songs like "Payphone" and "One More Night". Despite my feelings about what this band has done in recent years, nothing will affect my judgement of Songs About Jane, an album in consider to be a classic. I miss early Maroon 5. |

terrible band recording terrible music with terrible music videos with greasy grandmas and the lead singer boning some wriggly chick. man, maroon 5 sucks dude
yes, yes they do |
7. | Maroon 5 | ||
They are a band. They used to be amazing, making songs like "Sunday Morning", "This Love", "She Will be Loved", and all of the other songs on their first album "Songs about Jane". Now they are shit, making songs like "Moves like Jagger". *On my Ipod* Friend: What are you listening to?
Me: Maroon 5, back when they were good. Friend: I don't know who they are, can I listen? Me: Of course. Friend: OMG they are awesome! What do they sound like now? *Youtube, Moves like Jagger* Me: ...This...*Cry* Friend: Oh god. Why. |

Mills -- whom neighbors say was six months' pregnant with twins -- and her 31-year-old boyfriend were found dead at their South Vallejo home in the 1000 block of Atherton Street about 9:15 p.m. Thursday by police who responded to several reports of shots fired in the area. Police said late Friday afternoon that they are now investigating the case as "if there are four murder victims."
Vallejo Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Brooks said Friday morning that paramedics checked for "electrical activity" in the pregnant woman and her unborn babies and found none. He said if there had been a pulse or electrical impulses detected in either, "absolutely, she would have been transported for emergency medical care."
"This family was the intended target of this horrific act," Lt. Jim O'Connell said. "The Vallejo Police Department is dedicated to finding those responsible for these brutal killings and bringing them to justice. We are confident there there are those in the community who have critical information regarding this crime.
"We ask anyone with information, no matter how minor they may feel it might be, to contact (police)," O'Connell said.
Mills' mother said her daughter was a "dedicated mother" and was studying psychology at college.
A toddler in the house was unharmed.
Witnesses reported two black men in hooded sweatshirts ran south on Atherton right after the shooting, police said.
Friday morning, crime scene tape still cordoned off a section of the street as investigators and coroner's personnel worked inside.
Brooks said that once police allowed paramedics into the house, they encountered a "cluttered crime scene," where a man and woman "were pronounced dead." Police late Friday afternoon said that while the coroner had not yet confirmed that Mills was pregnant with twins, they had heard from a number of sources that she was.
At about 9:45 a.m. Friday, a white van pulled up nearly to the house's front door and two covered bodies were removed on gurneys from inside and loaded into the vehicle, which drove away.
Meanwhile, neighbor Rico Canessa, 39, said he knew Mills' boyfriend well enough "to wave at." He said he heard him come home Thursday night, but heard no gunshots.
"I saw his black Camaro being towed away later. They towed three cars from there, but I didn't know he had any car besides the Camaro," Canessa said.
Among those gathered Friday around the crime scene tape, neighbor Nikita Bray said she's tired of the violence in Vallejo.
"We get police killing people out here and we got people killing each other," Bray said. "It's not normal in Vallejo and it's got to stop."
A neighbor who identified herself only as Ozaree said she's devastated by what happened.
"It's a tragedy," she said. "I don't know why this had to happen. This is a nice neighborhood, people stay to themselves and there's no trouble."
The deaths bring the number of homicides in Vallejo this year to 16. Five of those involved officer-involved shootings still under investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detectives Todd Tribble or Drew Ramsay at 1-800-488-9383.

Corey Feldman is not an 80′s actor. He is however, a husband, father, HR Pro, and an author with moderate Dyslexia. If you're interested in following new releases, sign up for my newsletter at http://eepurl.com/vuuOP
I write both Adult Fantasy with a Jewish mystical slant as well as Children's Books.
My Amazon author page is http://www.amazon.com/Corey-Feldman/e/B0091DLEJS but of course I would prefer it if you bought directly from me https://gumroad.com/coreyjf.
My first Illustrated Children's Book is called Egret the Elephant: Volume 1.
Volume 2 should be available in May 2013. I currently have 8 more books written that are just awaiting editing, illustration, and publishing.
The Egret series website is at http://www.egrettheelephant.com/
The Egret Series Facebook Page is at https://www.facebook.com/EgretTheElephant
My first published piece of adult fiction is my novelette, The Sexton and the Reaper. This is a Mystical/Fantasy and ultimately a good old fashion love story with Ghosts, Soul Collectors, Angels, Jewish Mysticism, and of course fantasy.
The Facebook fan page is here https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Sexton-and-the-Reaper/415932745157541
My current work in progress (WiP) is an Urban Fantasy series involving Practical Kabbalah.
Ultimately it will be about a Police Detective named Alex Kagan: She is smart and pretty and grew up in an Orthodox Jewish home in Washington DC. She isn't particularly religious but will find herself in the world of Kabbalah while investigating what everyone else believes to be the accidental death of her grandfather, Solomon (Nicolai) Kagan. The deeper I got into this novel, the more I knew I had to tell Nicolai's story first. So the first book will either be a novella or full novel about Solomon's escape from Nazi Germany and his eventual transformation into Nicolai and a Practical Kabbalist.
The Facebook page for the Alex Kagan series is at https://www.facebook.com/AlexKaganBooks. On a side note, The Sexton and the Reaper will tie into both Nicolai's and Alex's stories. While The Sexton and the Reaper is a stand alone novelette, and will not be necessary to read in order to follow the either Alex or Nicoli's stories, it will certainly add to the enjoyment.

OMAHA, Neb. -- The Megan Bober-led Blue Team claimed a 4-0 sweep over the White Team in Creighton's lone volleyball exhibition of the fall on Friday night. Scores of the match in favor of the Blue were 25-17, 25-18, 25-20, 25-16.
On a night where nine players played for both teams, one constant was that Megan Bober played for the Blue side. Bober, who set an MVC record with a nation-leading nine triple-doubles last season, nearly had another one with 36 assists, 11 digs and eight kills on the evening. She also shared team-high honors with four blocks.
The Blue Team owned consistent leads throughout all four sets, as White's largest lead of the night came at 12-9 in the third frame. The Blue Team would respond to that with a 6-2 spurt to reclaim the lead, and would not trail again in the set.
Natalie Hackbarth had a match-high 16 kills on the evening, while Heather Thorson finished with 11 kills and owned a match-best five blocks. Kelli Browning, who had just seven serving attempts all last season, delivered a match-best four aces on the night.
Creighton had four freshmen see action with tremendous sucess. The quartet of Melanie Jereb, Ashley Jansen, Kate Elman and Lizzy Stivers combined for 12 kills, 56 digs and four aces in their first action on the D.J. Sokol Arena floor.
Creighton opens its regular-season next Friday with a match vs. Central Florida, the first of three competitions at the USF Invitational in Tampa, Fla.

Laurinburg residents will not see any change in their tax rate for next year, according to the city's proposed budget presented Tuesday night.
City Manager Ed Burchins has recommended that the tax rate remain at 40 cents per $100 valuation.
The Fiscal Year 2013 proposed budget is $34.1 million — about 3.3 percent more than the current budget.
Burchins has also proposed that all fees stay at this year's levels.
"The preparation of this budget comes at a time when there are still economic issues for us to contend with," Burchins told council in his budget message. "Therefore we developed this budget in a way so the city can provide essential services to all our citizens and businesses without increasing the cost of services."
Council is expected to hold a number of budget workshops before considering approval of the proposal at a public hearing on June 19 at 7 p.m.
The public can review a copy of the proposed budget at the city clerks office at the Barrett Administration Building at 305 West church Street from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
In other business, council voted to amend the city's Unified Development Ordinance to allow seven or less multi-family units by permit of the zoning officer.
The change would also require a conditional use permit for multi-family developments with eight or more units.
Council had asked the the City's Planning Board to study the issue and make recommendations.
Laurinburg Planning Director Brandi Deese said there were two options the city could pursue. The first was limiting the number of units within a half square mile to 200 units.
"This first option was found to be utilized in a few communities in North Carolina," Deese said in her report. "However, these communities that utilize this first option are greater in size than our community."
The second option, recommended by the city manager, would require a conditional use permit for any multi-family development with more than 10 units instead of the current more than 15.
Deese said the first option would be tedious to enforce and preferred the second option.
Council also approved a request to rezone property at 318 E. Church Street from residential to office/institutional. The request was made by First Baptist Church, which wants to create 26 additional parking spaces for the church. The existing dwelling on the property would be demolished. Church members say its has become a liability and has been vandalized.
In other business, council voted:
To condemn and demolish two properties — one at 16290 Joy Street and the other at 430 Carver Street.;
Approve the sale of a lot on Cary Street for the amount of $750 to Billy Campbell;
Approve the sale of two lots on Fayetteville Street to William Dowdy;
Authorize a financing agreement with BB&T for automated side-loading refuse truck and front-loading refuse truck for 10 years at 1.83 percent and for the custom pumper fire truck for 10 years at 2.18 percent, total amount financed $818,790.
The council also voted to set a number of public hearings for next month.
The hearings are planned for June 19 at at 7 p.m. in the council room of the Municipal Building at 303 W. Church St.
They will include:
— A public hearing to consider a request to rezone from industrial to office/institutional the property located at 412 Fairley St.
— A public hearing to consider amending the permissible uses for off-premises signs and to amend the buildings codes.

Posts tagged 'arts'
Fun weekend, no recording though
I went out this weekend to join a friend going to an open day to look if it was something she'd be interested in later after having decided that while talking on skype pretty much half of the night. So we met up and due to a gasleak we had to take another train to get to where we needed to go, but eventually we got there. It was an arts school which was really interesting for me having gone to a rather exact opposite kind of school as an IT guy. I'm not generally a big arts guy, but there are definitely things that I appreciate, but when it gets too artsy I'm simply not getting it. I'm too logical a person so abstract things don't really do much for me.
That school as it turns out was very much an art school, as we checked out the photography section there were a bunch of examples of photo's made by students for projects. These showed for example some walls, some chimneys on top of houses and other really random pictures including some blurry ones that just looked like you accidentally pressed the "photo" button while waving the camera around. This being art… well, I guess you have to be really into abstract art to get any of it.
That school also really reminded me of highschool (not too great a memory for me) with it's structure and small rooms. There was also a certain smell to it because of all the materials that were around that I simply haven't smelled since then. Unlike this building, my school had many big rooms full with spacious desks and patchpoints to set up your laptop at and have your books and stuff laid out. As such all the rooms were really big to allow this and were really clean as you took everything with you in your bag as you came and went.
Afterwards we went to a metalbar and enjoyed a pretty good band that was performing there and then as we got to her home we decided we'd watch Bambi on VCR. That's still totally a good movie despite it's age and it being aimed at children. There's something about it that makes it enjoyable for all ages, the only downside to that would be that it is really quite short with a runtime of 70 minutes. But the sheer cuteness factor and unadulterated fun make up for that.
On saturday we went to another art school's open day to see if that was more her thing, as we had heard that they took a less "artsy" approach to especially photography, which she's interested in. And that indeed was the case, there were a lot more realistic photo's that were simply gorgeous and projects that were really interesting and had a message. Hell, I really liked some of that stuff and after talking and getting some more information, it sounds like a pretty cool study all in all and not overly artsy. But she still wasn't sure if it's her thing or not, but atleast she's properly informed of it now and has seen that it doesn't have to be as artsy (which she didn't like).
After that was over we decided to go to a movie as we walked near a cinema and ended up viewing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It was a really good movie, better than I expected it to be honestly. It's a pretty lengthy movie and it has you guessing what's going to happen next, or how the plot sticks together pretty much throughout the whole movie. The characters of Mikael and Lisbeth were all both played excellently, though I also have to mention Henrik. The good acting, interesting characters (mainly Lisbeth), the plot that keeps moving at a good(pretty rapid) pace and the twists make it a movie you really ought to see. Be warned though that it does get pretty shocking in some of the scenes, I have to admit that I wasn't sitting entirely comfortably in some of them.
After that we checked out some rock bars, sat down and talked briefly and then decided to go home as I still had a 2 hour trip back, I arrived roughly around 1.30am which isn't all that bad considering. I slept a long time that night to catch up on some sleep as I had some really black spots under my eyes that saturday. Waking up refreshed I did some chores, started reading my next book (Swords and Swordsmen by Mike Loades) while listening to some music and caught up on some of the content giantbomb had put out the past couple of days. Then I finished the day by going out for exercise and watched a movie based on one of my favorite manga/animes: Gantz.
Gantz is a live-action movie which means that it's played by real people and as such that means that it's going to take a lot to live up to the original. After watching the first movie (I haven't watched the second one yet), I have to say that it did a pretty good job. It's of course very Japanese but it still captures the spirit of the series as the main characters try to deal with the bizarre fights they have to go through and the people that end up in the room with them. It deals with some really unique situations because of it and that's also where 1 of the flaws lie; it's hard to portray the struggle of the humanizing process within the characters.
The ending of the movie especially wasn't as powerful as the end of the manga was for me, but it still shows camaraderie and dealing with loss. If you have any interest in a Japanese action movie that plays with emotions, give Gantz a shot, or go read the manga or watch the anime.
All in all, this was a pretty great weekend, although I didn't get around to recording, but that's why I'm so glad I have a backlog that's already uploaded and scheduled to go online. I hope you all had a similarly good weekend.
