Switch from banners to smaller icon ads proves questionable
As Prodigy shuffles toward the completion of its redesign, its ad strategy is getting murky and advertisers are growing restless.
The third-ranked online service early next year will finally rid itself of its trademark bottom-of-the-screen banner ads as part of a complete overhaul based on the World Wide Web's hypertext markup language, or HTML. In their place will be small icons that direct users to marketers' Web sites.
Marketers and agencies say the changeover, which began earlier this year, has caused a great deal of confusion.
Even more troubling to marketers, Prodigy has yet to develop a solid tracking mechanism for its new Web-based ads.
"Frankly, their reporting has fallen off considerably in their changeover to HTML," said Roland Sharette, VP-director of interactive resources at J. Walter Thompson USA, Detroit. A Prodigy backer since 1988, Ford is now likely to cut its spending with the service, Mr. Sharette said.
Fidelity Investments, an advertiser since 1992, is also rethinking its relationship with Prodigy.
"We are in the middle of negotiating a new relationship with Prodigy," said Douglas Sun, manager for electronic channel distribution.
While America Online and CompuServe have long passed the 3 million subscriber mark, Prodigy lags at just over 2 million. And the service is struggling to complete its redesign even as one of its parents, Sears, Roebuck & Co., is looking to sell its 50% stake.
Team Prodigy, a unit of rep firm TeleRep, is hawking 1996 ad packages that range from $10,000 to $45,000 per month to link to a marketer Web site. That compares with a base price of $27,500 for a five-screen ad on the old Prodigy.
At $45,000, Prodigy now ranks among the highest-priced pointers in the online world. ESPN's Web site costs $33,000 per month and gets an estimated 1.6 million visits in that period.
Prodigy will pull in some $20 million in ad revenue this year, about equal to last year, insiders said.
The online service acknowledges the ad tracking problem and says it will have new software in place during the first quarter.
"We are building it as quickly as we can," said Carol Wallace, a Prodigy spokeswoman.
But whether advertisers will continue to wait for solutions is a question. "We are torn about what to do there," Mr. Sharette said. "We certainly want to continue with Prodigy, but frankly, there are a number of problems."

Money, Trade, and Power
The Evolution of Colonial South Carolina's Plantation Society
Edited by Jack P. Greene, Rosemary Brana-Shute, and Randy J. Sparks
Examines the economic and cultural development of England's most British colony
Reflecting the burgeoning interest of colonial historians in South Carolina and its role as the economic and cultural center of the Lower South, Money, Trade, and Power is a comprehensive exploration of the colony's slave system, economy, and complex social and cultural life.
The first six chapters of this essay collection focus on the formative decades of South Carolina's history, from 1670 through the 1730s. Contributors Meaghan N. Duff, Bertrand Van Ruymbeke, and Gary L. Hewitt explore the colony's early settlement. R. C. Nash, Stephen G. Hardy, and Eirlys M. Barker investigate the rapidly expanding economy.
Turning to the colony's reliance on slave labor, William L. Ramsay analyzes the institution and abandonment of Indian slavery; Jennifer Lyle Morgan examines the reproductive capabilities of slave women; and S. Max Edelson looks at the distinctive social position of skilled slaves. Robert Olwell considers how South Carolina public officials adapted the office of justice of the peace to the needs of a slave society, while Matthew Mulcahy shows how calamities of fires and hurricanes exacerbated the problem of slave control.
Finally, Edward Pearson describes the ways in which South Carolina's emerging elite asserted their new status; G. Winston Lane and Elizabeth M. Pruden review the surprising economic independence of women; and Thomas Little examines the colony's religious life and spread of evangelicalism.
Jack P. Greene is the Andrew H. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at The Johns Hopkins University and the author of more than twenty-five books. Greene lives in Baltimore, Maryland.
Rosemary Brana-Shute, an associate professor at the College of Charleston, is a historian of Latin America, the author of articles and essays, and the editor of several essay collections. Brana-Shute lives in Charleston.
Randy J. Sparks is an associate professor of history at Tulane University and the author of On Jordan's Stormy Banks: Evangelicalism in Mississippi, 1774–1876. Sparks lives in Charleston.
"These essays, largely the work of a promising group of younger scholars, establish an important groundwork for a new wave of significant scholarship on the colonial South Carolina lowcountry. Many offer useful and fresh evidence. Read collectively, they also provide a remarkably comprehensive account of the development of the region." —Thad W. Tate, Murden Professor of History Emeritus, College of William and Mary
"With these fifteen essays, the Lower South and its central colony, South Carolina, is at last receiving the scrupulous attention and imaginative investigation once afforded New England, the Chesapeake, and the Mid-Atltantic regions. This collection reveals a colonial society that was dynamic as well as exploitative, diverse as well as hedonistic—but above all, infinitely fascinating."—Philip Morgan, The Johns Hopkins University
"The editors of this volume are to be warmly congratulated on having assembled a quite dazzling array of essays that represent the very best of recent scholarship on the colonial South Carolina Lowcountry." —Betty Wood, University of Cambridge

I was born in Antigo Wisconsin and we moved to Winthrop Harbor, Illinois when I was a year old. My first memory of current rock 'n roll music was around 1956 when Elvis Presley released "Hound Dog" and I would sing it over and over...it excited me. My parents listened to country music and I was heavily influenced by Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee and many others from that era. I pestered my Dad to get me a guitar from the time I was 5 years old and he finally relented when I was 9. He bought a Sears Roebuck Silvertone for $30.00 and it had thick strings a pretty high action but I didn't care... I was so thrilled to finally get it. My dad showed me 3 chords (it was all he knew) and one of my Uncles taught me the "Boogie Woogie" and I was off and running! Lol!! I was on my own after that and relied on a Mel Bay instruction book to learn bar chords etc.
Before we start talking about Wilson McKinley I would like to ask you if you or other members were in any other bands? If so, do any releases exists?
When I was 16 I got to audition for the first band I was in called the Cavaliers which quickly got changed to The Beat Merchants and because the lead singer thought he was Mick Jagger reincarnate we became a mostly a Rolling Stones tribute band. We did have one original song based on a chord progression I had called "She's A Teaser." The lead singer (Dennis Miller) put lyrics to it and we went to the local recording studio and cut the song. It was the only thing we did and I have no idea where a copy would exist. After a couple years with that band I was asked to join a group called the City Council in early '67. Fred Dennis was the lead singer and bass player...one of the most talented artists in Spokane at that time. We never wrote any original material and the band only lasted for 7 months when Fred was asked to join the Liverpool Five. Randy Wilcox was in a group called the Noblemen...VERY talented group. Their guitar player was Wayne Johnson and he went on to play with the Manhatten Transfer and is now a well known artist in his own right. If they had any recordings I never knew about it and Randy never mentioned it. Jim Bartlett was in a group called Sleepy John and I know they recorded quite a bit and I think their stuff might be available on the internet. Tom Slipp was in a band called The Electric Train and I don't know of any recordings by them either.
When was Wilson McKinley born and how do you remember some of the early sessions you had? How did you guys meet and who are all of the members? How did you came up with the name Wilson McKinley?
In the summer of 1968 we decided to seek our fortunes in the Big Apple...New York City. Who came up with that hairbrained idea I can't recall but we were going to pay our way there by doing clubs along the way. We wound up in Salt Lake City, Utah and started a stint at a club called the Crow's Nest. After 2 nights we got busted for being underaged and subsequently got fired. Our manager was desperately trying to line up another gig and we wound up in Pocatello, Idaho playing for peanuts at a local bar. We scraped up enough money to make it to Los Angeles and plans changed since it was closer. We got there literally on our last bit of pocket change and parked in a gas station parking lot. The streets were loaded with hippies at that time and a couple of our guys met a generous young girl on Hollywood Blvd. that said we could crash at her Mom's house. We lived there and went out on auditions for record companies hauling that blasted Hammond all over LA. I remember Apple Records was 3 fights of stairs up and we were stuck in a tiny room and played for one minute and then ushered out. We audtioned at a club called the Experience (next to the Whiskey A Go Go) to try and earn some money but didn't get the gig. It was a tough time and we wound up going back to Spokane...Dick and Bill didn't want to play and had wealthy parents so it wasn't essential for them. Randy and I needed to keep things going so we took the name and put together a new version of the band. We went through several people...Steve Leinen (from the City Council I was in) drummed for a short time. A guy named Rich Hanes played rhythm briefly. We had another lead player named Jim Shack on a few gigs... Don Larson playing bass and sharing lead vocals. The other guys moved on and Don stuck but we needed a drummer and Tom Slipp was my first choice...so we called him in Tacoma WA and he agreed to drive over and join.
When Phil Volk and Drake Levin formed their new group The Brotherhood they were on tour and came to Spokane. Somebody told them about us and they wanted to check us out. We were recording demos at a studio called Womacks and they just showed up. They listened to what we were doing and said we had to come to LA to further our career and that they would help us get connected. We were financed by a promoter in Canada and went to LA where Drake and Phil lined up an apartment and studio time at Devonshire studios. They said they had made extra money by recording versions of current hits to sell on the budget market...this is what Alshire was doing and they were ready to put out another album under the California Poppy Pickers name. There never was such a group...just a few studio musicians cranking out songs for that market. We spent two days at Devonshire and did about 15 songs with Phil and Drake producing. They submitted the songs to Alshire and if I recall they used maybe 8 songs we did and two others already in their vaults. We were paid a flat fee of $3500.00 of which we gave 10% to Drake and Phil and about $1800.00 to the studio. The rest we put towards studio time to record our single. Done deal...no relationship with Alshire whatsoever after that.
I really can't recall how many were pressed but our manager Eddie Wenrick was promoting the single as best he could. It was on the radio for a time in Spokane and wound up in about every juke box in town. After awhile only the reserved FM stations were playing it. The song on the flipside "When I See Her Smile" actually did very well in British Columbia but I don't know what kind of sales were generated as I never kept up on that end of things. "Blues Go Home" was not representative of the band and should never have been a first release. It was an album cut at best.
We were offered a deal from A&M records but turned that down because it wasn't a good contract...in late '69. In early '70 another company (can't remember who) offered a pretty good deal but said we couldn't sing about God...we declined that one too. Some time in June or July our former Manager or booking agents (I don't know which) got a call from Columbia and they said they had been following our career for quite some time. They were offering $150,000 up front and $300,000 in promotion money along with flying us down to do two albums worth of songs. The kicker was at this point we were no longer a secular band and were living a spartan existence devoting our lives to singing and preaching the gospel. Randy, Tom and I didn't find out about the offer until a month or so later...and we had no interest in being in the music business anyway. Nothing came of it and I'm sure there are a lot of people who think we were crazy!
On Stage was done without our knowledge of it even being recorded on one of our outreach trips in Vancouver, British Columbia. We were a very loose band at this point...barely had enough songs and not very well rehearsed. We had extra guys singing and playing with us. A tall brother formerly of the Black Panthers named Lou Saint Cyr playing congas. Don Parks (brother of our leader Carl) playing steel guitar and Bruce Schlettert singing backup. After the outreach we came home and carl asked us to come to his brothers house and we sat in his livingroom as he played this tape we nothing about. We were horrified to say the least when Carl said this was going to be an album. We begged him not to put it out but he did anyway because the ministry needed to generate an income. They acquired a bunch of pie boxes and made them into album covers with a "one way" finger in the corner. Later on it was changed to an artist's rendition of our faces that Tom Slipp did and looked a little nicer. The ministry lived off the sales of that album for the first year but boy did we ever get some complaints about the listening quality. There was genuine enthusiasm on there though...I'll give it that.
Spirit of Elijah was your next release and it's the most known. I have been enjoying this album for a very long time now. I would like if you could tell me what do you recall from recording and producing this LP. How many copies and at what label (what studio) were they made and who did the beautiful cover artwork?
Spirit Of Elijah was another project with no producer and was done in a hurried fashion in an all night recording session...live in a small livingroom of a very small house we used for rehearsal called the "House Of David." Carl Parks said we needed another album and it had to be done quickly so we asked an acquaintance of ours...Terry Sheets to bring his Teac 4 track recorder over and he set up some PA mikes and we just started playing...from about 8p.m. to 4a.m. We were singing way past the point of maintaining quality vocal performance. There were no overdubs or corrections of some pretty bad mistakes (from being so tired) and it was all left in there and sent to a company to press. (Rite records) They decided that one whole side needed reverb...so it got drenched in it and the other side was left "dry." Once again we were appalled that this was going out to the public for sale. If you knew Randy and what a perfectionist he is...let's just say to this day he wouldn't admit to being a part of it if he didn't have to. Lol!! And then after all these years hearing people say what a classic it is...go figure! So...no producer or record company involved.
Sometime in 1972 Carl actually said we had $500.00 for an album project. Wow! Can you imagine the pressure of using a studio for $35.00 an hour and doing a whole album? Well..we went to Sound Recording Co. run by a sweet lady named Irene that had no idea how to set up for a rock band. We were on our own setting up mikes on everything. Irene ran the tape machine while we ran through the songs and actually did some vocal doubling. But when it came time to mix it she said we were on our own. Now we all had good ears for balance and Randy especially did...so our mix was pretty good but when it got sent to Rite Records to press...it got fouled up so bad it was virtually unlistenable. We nicknamed them WRONG Records... but apparently they were the cheapest and you get what you pay for. "Heaven's Gonna Be A Blast" had some good songs on it and it wasn't recorded that bad but "Rite" Records ruined everything we sent them. Tim Smith at Tanignak has done a good job fixing these recordings and they are far more listenable than before. The last report I heard on sales of these albums sometime in the late 70s was 70,000 units sold.
Country in the Sky was your last release on cassette...Would you mind telling me more about this project? Same goes for Yesterday / Forever....
Country In The Sky was recorded at the "ranch" where we had 250 acres and some original buildings on the property including a root cellar. Above that was a small structure we turned into a studio. We invested some money into a Teac 3340 S... 4 track machine. Carl Parks decided that it was time for us to break away from our rock influenced music and do something mellow and more palatable for older ears. He wanted to produce it so it would come out more to his liking. He didn't think much of our style of music and our poorly trained voices. So...we had submitted to rigorous voice exercises and breathing techniques to make us better singers... under his direction.
Do any unreleased material exist? I heard you lately found all the masters?
Tim Smith has a large catalog of unreleased material that will come out later if finances permit. The original masters for all three albums were in the possession of one of the original group. Greg Beumer had them stored in his basement thankfully and they were well preserved. So he sent them to Tim for re-mixing and the "cleaned' up versions are what's on the double CD "Now I'm A Jesus Freak." There were also some reel to reel tapes that Mike Sheets had from recording us at the I Am Coffeehouse and Gonzaga University in Spokane. They were in good shape too and have a fairly good quality sound. A guy named Jim Zehm recorded us in 1971 at a club called "Moby" in Cour d' Alene Idaho. He has been doing extensive work on balancing and cleaning up one of the most dynamic concerts I've heard of us. His dream has been to release it in it's complete form and is very close to finishing it.
Most of what we did involved our "Highway Missionaries" going into a town and handing out flyers announcing a Wilson McKinley concert. Sometimes they would get some radio airtime to advertise and some stations actually played songs off our albums. We then either rented a grange hall or set up in a park to play and usually attracted pretty decent sized crowds that always got into what we were doing. We introduced Jesus to a lot of people that way.
I certainly remember the name but I am not familiar with their music...that's great that you found them for an interview.
Songwriting has been something I have been trying to learn since I was 16 and I wish I could say I have it figured out. There are writers in Nashville that can crank out hits and work at it for so many hours in a day...like a job. They know the "hooks" and can formulate "ear candy" very skillfully. I'm not criticizing that because that's what the Beatles did early on and it sells records. They were brilliant songwriters and I wish I had that ability because if I did... maybe I could support myself with it. We wrote some good songs in the band and if they had been produced properly could have done something maybe. Before we were believers...we wrote from what affected us... whether it was about love or love lost...getting burned by somebody or making a statement of some kind that affects us socially. Coming to Christ and having your life so powerfully changed spawned all kinds of songs... as all of our recordings prove. We were young children in Jesus and had all that enthusiasm...it all came out as we expressed ourselves in those tunes.
What a privilege it was to forsake our goal of success in the music industry to dedicate ourselves to God's work of spreading the good news of the saving grace of Christ. To hear of young people like yourself Klemen who have been inspired and blessed by the music God blessed us with... is all the reward I could hope to have. Fame, fortune and the idol worship of musicians is a fleeting vapor...empty and worthless in the light of our Heavenly Father's presence. All good things come from him and the most beautiful and inspirational music is a gift from Him. Those of us in the Wilson McKinley had an incredible honor to receive and give out freely what God in His mercy freely gave us. I will never forget or regret one moment that I spent with my brothers in arms for that brief time sharing the precious love of Jesus through music. I miss them terribly and like having only one true love in your life...nothing has even come close to what we had. I was honored to serve with Randy, Jim and Tom...three of the most beautiful brothers anyone could know. Thanks Klemen for this opportunity to share and tell the story...warts and all.
Thank you again for your contribution for making this interview happen

When I upgraded systemd sometime in January to 197, I opt in the network renaming. I did as suggested from arch-dev-public through removing dummy file "/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules".
Since this time eth0 was and is never renamed due to error message: "error changing net interface name eth0 to enp, Device or Resource busy". From time to time I experience the same with wlan0; "error changing net interface name wlan0 to wlp3so, Device or Resource busy".
My netcfg.service contains
which is necessary to wait for wlp3s0 becoming ready. I did not find anything close on google or here for my problem.

I have never seen a report of such an issue before. Have you asked on the systemd mailing list? I am pretty certain that they would likely be interested in hearing about this.
Alright, I just sent it to systemd-bugs(a)lists.freedesktop.org. and will report back if I get something.
The reply I got:
> Netcfg should better listen to udev events and not kernel network
> netlink itself, when it watches for new devices. Or you need to make

> It seems it goes out on its own and claims the interfaces right after
> they show up in the kernel, which makes them busy before udev has
> renamed them.
I replaced netcfg with netctl. Netcfg officially does not play well with systemd. I also removed the dhcpcd. All problems are gone. Thx!

write a code for my excel cashbook ledger trial balance system
Presupuesto $10-30 USD
I have a cashbook ledger trial balance system purely done in Excel. In this, only cashbook has to be updated manually and the rest gets updated automatically with correct formula. But some ledger pages have spaces in them between entries flowing from cashbook with correct formula.

How do we transform our existing system into one that fosters sustainable economic growth? Entrepreneurship concentrating on scientific collaborations and innovations is the ticket, says Paul Kedrosky of the Kauffman Foundation in this university podcast. He argues that highly trained engineers, physicists and other professionals who have been sucked up by Wall Street need to return to their own domains and work more entrepreneurially. The way to more innovation and connectivity, he argues, is to let more ideas "collide" to create more impact. Kedrosky spoke at the USRio+2.0 Conference, hosted by the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

First detailed look at young dusty discs around aging stars
14 April 2010
Astronomers from the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics and the Observatoire de la Cote dAzur in France have used the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to discover discs of dust around ageing stars. The images will be presented by Foteini (Claire) Lykou on Wednesday 14th April at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting (NAM2010) in Glasgow.
This is the first time we have ever observed these dusty discs in such detail, said Ms Lykou.
Towards the end of its life, in around 5 billion years time, our Sun will evolve into a red giant star. The temperature near the core will rise and the outer layers will expand to form a tenuous atmosphere a few hundred times the current radius of the Sun. Dust, which forms in this cool atmosphere, along with gas, is expelled from these types of stars during the aging process and forms the raw materials for the next generations of stars and planets. As the dust flows out into space it is shaped into beautiful nebulae by mechanisms that are not yet fully understood. Dusty discs can be created as a by-product of those mechanisms. Ultimately, nuclear fusion shuts down and the core of the dead star becomes a white dwarf.
Although these dusty discs are more than a hundred thousand million kilometres across (almost a thousand times larger than the orbit of the Earth around the Sun) they lie at such large distances from us that their apparent size is tiny. The discs can only be observed using a special technique in which telescopes are combined together to act like a giant zoom lens, dramatically increasing the sharpness of view. The astronomers used the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the European Southern Observatory in Chile. This combines four giant telescopes, each with an 8.2-metre mirror, to create a telescope with the sharpness of view of one with a diameter of up to 130 metres. The VLTI also has the advantage of observing in the infrared, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum where the dusty discs shine brightly.
Weve discovered discs at various stages of their evolution around the central stars in several nebulae. We are not sure exactly how long these discs survive it could be hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of years. The images that I am presenting at NAM2010 show two discs, both at a relatively early stage of their life, said Ms Lykou.
The first disc was found in M2-9, a bipolar nebula (a gas cloud with symmetrical lobes) 4200 light-years away that has a binary stellar system in its core. Both stars, a red giant and a white dwarf, are hidden inside the disc. The dust originates from the red giant, which is 15 000 degrees Celsius and 2 500 times more luminous than the Sun. The disc has an inner radius of 2250 million kilometres and an outer radius near 135 thousand million kilometres and is composed of dust grains made out of silicon and oxygen, similar to the dust found in our Solar System.
The disc inside M2-9 is probably less than 2000 years old, making it a teenager in terms of the lifetime of these discs. It is still evolving due to the gravitational interactions of the binary stars, said Ms Lykou.
The second disc was found in Sakurai's Object, a round nebula that lies 11,400 light-years from Earth. The star is 12 000 degrees Celsius and 10 000 times brighter than the Sun. It is composed of amorphous carbon, a type of carbon that has no crystalline structure (coal and soot have this composition) and it is growing in size.
The disc in Sakurais Object was created within the last 10 years, so we have the opportunity to study a newborn disc. It is expanding radially and rapidly in space. During our observation period in 2007, we saw the disc expand from 10 thousand million kilometres to 75 thousand million kilometres, said Ms Lykou.
The most probable scenario for the distant future is that the discs may be destroyed by interstellar radiation breaking down the dust grains to their individual atoms and molecules, thus replenishing and enriching the Galaxys interstellar medium with new materials.

Further Information
The Very Large Telescope array (VLT) is the flagship facility for European ground-based astronomy at the beginning of the third Millennium. It is the worlds most advanced optical instrument, consisting of four Unit Telescopes with main mirrors of 8.2m diameter and four movable 1.8m diameter Auxiliary Telescopes. The telescopes can work together, in groups of two or three, to form a giant interferometer, the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer, allowing astronomers to see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes. The light beams are combined in the VLTI using a complex system of mirrors in underground tunnels where the light paths must be kept equal to distances less than 1/1000 mm over a hundred metres. With this kind of precision the VLTI can reconstruct images with an angular resolution of milliarcseconds, equivalent to distinguishing the two headlights of a car at the distance of the Moon.
The RAS National Astronomy Meeting 2010 will take place from 12-16th April at the University of Glasgow. The conference is held in conjunction with the UK Solar Physics (UKSP) and Magnetosphere Ionosphere and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (MIST) meetings. NAM2010 is principally sponsored by the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) and the University of Glasgow.
The Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), founded in 1820, encourages and promotes the study of astronomy, solar-system science, geophysics and closely related branches of science. The RAS organises scientific meetings, publishes international research and review journals, recognises outstanding achievements by the award of medals and prizes, maintains an extensive library, supports education through grants and outreach activities and represents UK astronomy nationally and internationally. Its more than 3000 members (Fellows), a third based overseas, include scientific researchers in universities, observatories and laboratories as well as historians of astronomy and others.

Enable Dropbox Contextual Link on Mac
Dropbox is the easiest way to store, sync, and, share files online.
I think not many people know Dropbox. Dropbox is a multi-tools which can be used in many ways. It has a simple concept for syncing and sharing files online.
Few days ago, I encountered a small problem using Dropbox. The usual contextual link when I right-click the folder disappeared. It doesn't bother since I don't share my files to others. But problem is problem, if there is something wrong with my laptop, then I'll solve it.
For you who use Dropbox on Mac and encountered the similar problem, here is the solution.
- Go to System Preferences->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts
- From the list on the left, choose "Services"
- Make sure the "Folder Actions Setup…" is checked, if it is not. Check it.
Once you enable the Folder Actions Setup, I am sure that you can right-click your Dropbox folder to have their contextual link appear.

BBC Review
Iggy's most underrated album helped him get back to real life.
Martin Aston 2010
Angst, alongside necessity, is typically the mother of invention, but in too many cases, those artists deemed to live on the edge were only suffering from a bad hangover. Iggy Pop, however, began recording these songs while on day release from the Neuropsychiatric Ward of UCLA.
It was Iggy's decision at least. He may have been a depleted, suicidal heroin addict after the release of Raw Power in 1973, but he wasn't insane. And what became Kill City (recorded in 1975, released in 1977) never resembled the work of a man seceding responsibility to his new medication. In fact, this is his most underrated album (true, partly because it's never been on CD before). In its rough snapshot of personal disarray (he'd yet to work with David Bowie, though his would-be saviour did visit him in hospital) tied to a more R&B-raunchy trajectory than The Stooges' garage-punk meltdown – in partnership with latter-day Stooges guitarist James Williamson – Kill City stands alone in his canon. Now that it's been re-mastered and remixed, it should get its just reward.
The bristling title-track immediately sets the standard: "I live here in Kill City where the debris meets the sea / It's the playground of the rich, but it's a loaded gun to me," snarls Iggy, before the great pay-off, "But if I have to die here first / Then I'm gonna make some noise" while Williamson stabs out a swaggering riff. Classic punk resistance to the decadent LA lifestyle follows in Beyond the Law and I Got Nothin', but the album showed signs of evolution. With crooned harmonies, woozy sax and a louche mood, Sell Your Love imbibes the black soul of Iggy's home city of Detroit rather than its metal; it sounds more Stones than Stooges. On a similar tack, I Got Nothin' (one of two Stooges leftovers) resembled the Stones aping Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door. The other oldie, Johanna, was smeared by Harden's bleating sax, which showed distinct shades of David Sanborn circa Bowie's Young Americans, being recorded on the other coast.
Kill City's original side two is patchier, though the instrumental Master Charge has a strange, sad beauty, like Iggy's lost and wandering New Orleans' streets at 3am. The stunning, bruised ballad No Sense of Crime, however, beats the Stones at their own dissolute game. It's this brew of bravado, vulnerability and crisis that lends Kill City a palpable edge and helped get Iggy back into the studio and real life, beyond those hospital walls.

In celebration of Cape Cod Magazine's 20th anniversary, writer Lisa Cavanaugh goes back in time to dig up fun facts from the past. Here is a look at some comparisons of life on the Cape between 1998 and today.By Lisa Cavanaugh
In 1998, you could get a taste of the world-famous chowder at Mildred's Chowder House in Hyannis. Although Mildred's closed more than 15 years ago, you can still find a great cup or bowl of Cape Cod's signature soup at the Seaside Pub on Main in Hyannis, last year's winner of the WCOD Cape Cod Chowder Festival.
The Black Crowes and Bruce Hornsby performed at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in the summer of 1998, playing hits like "She Talks to Angels" and "The Way It Is." This summer, the Melody Tent will embrace a retro atmosphere with acts like Straight No Chaser, The Temptations, The Four Tops and The Beach Boys.
Back in '98, the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce license marketing committee kicked off a campaign to sell specialty Cape & Islands license plates (MASS-DOT first began issuing them only two years prior.) Radio listeners heard Dan Rather, Patti Page and Charles Osgood encouraging locals and visitors to purchase the plates to benefit local Cape Cod nonprofit groups. Since then, the Cape & Islands plate, which features Eastham's iconic Nauset Lighthouse, has become the most successful specialty plate program in the Commonwealth with more than 45,000 plates on the road.
If you wanted to dig into a good romance novel in the summer of 1998, you had three Danielle Steele bestsellers to choose from. But you would have to wait two years to start to enjoy the romances from Nantucket's own Elin Hilderbrand. Her debut novel came out in 2000. Since then, she has written more than 20 books, including two published last year, so there's a good chance you could be reading a brand new Hilderbrand romance this July.
Listening to music on your (soon-to-be-obsolete) Walkman in 1998 might have meant singing along to Usher or Shania Twain. This year, we expect a lot of music lovers will be streaming Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars or Cardi B on their Sonos systems at their Cape houses.
In 1998, you might have seen "Shakespeare in Love" or "Saving Private Ryan" at the Airport Cinemas in Capetown Plaza in Hyannis (which closed the next year), but not at the Chatham Orpheum Theater, which didn't reopen until 2013. And even though most of Cape Cod's old drive-in theaters are now gone, you can still catch movies, like 2018 upcoming releases "Incredibles 2" or "Ocean's 8" at the Wellfleet Drive-In Theater.
In the summer of 1998, the top prospect of the Cape Cod Baseball League was pitcher Kyle Snyder of the Chatham Athletics (the name changed in 2009 to the Chatham Anglers). Snyder would go on to play professionally for the Kansas City Royals and the Boston Red Sox. This summer, look for him during Boston Red Sox-Tampa Bay Rays games: Snyder is the new pitching coach for Tampa Bay.
The number of annual births at Cape Cod Hospital has not fluctuated much in the past 20 years, but babies' names have changed. Little 'Ashley' or 'Jacob' would have made their first trip to the beach in 1998, while this summer we should expect to hear the names Sophia or Lucas.

Advancing Science Thru Blogging
In an article published in PLoS Biology, Shelly Batts, Nick Anthis and Tara Smith write about blogging as a means of science communication.
Batts et al. write "Scientific discovery occurs in the lab one experiment at a time, but science itself moves forward based on a series of ongoing conversations, from a Nobel Prize winner's acceptance speech to collegial chats at a pub. When these conversations flow into the mainstream, they nurture the development of an informed public who understand the value of funding basic research and making evidence-based voting decisions. It is in the interests of scientists and academic institutions alike to bring these conversations into the public sphere....Because many science bloggers are practicing scientists or experts in their field, they can provide a unique educational bridge between academia and the public and distill important experimental findings into an accessible, interactive format."
Starting a science blog was a fairly random impulse for me. If the learning curve was steep or posting complicated, I probably would have abandoned the effort early, but Blogger's tool made posting effortless. In retrospect, blogging has been one of the best academic decisions I have ever made as it has facilitated communication with my peers and opened many doors for me.
Author Nick Anthis also blogs about his paper here. In it he writes that many other bloggers have had similar experiences to mine. After informally polling bloggers, Anthis and his coauthors found that, "Across the blogosphere, scientists had started new collaborations, enhanced their scientific work, advanced their careers, been able to communicate science as never before, and had been offered a whole array of new and unique experiences and opportunities in part or in full due to their blogs. In fact, the stories we heard were so compelling that instead of just communicating them we asked ourselves another question: why has this phenomenon gone so underreported and unappreciated within academic circles? And, more pointedly, how can we most effectively communicate this potential to an academic audience--in hopes of catalyzing even more of these wonderful successes?"
I think the scientific community is beginning to recognize the benefits of blogging. Every time I log on, there are more and more science blogs entering the blogosphere. Folks that don't blog definitely seem to read them. As with any new technology, it takes some time to get used to the idea. It may be that, in the future, blogs will be as much as part of the scientific discourse as scientific journals. Remember back in 1994, hardly any labs had a web page, but now its seems obligatory. Maybe research blogs will be ubitquitous in 2018.
Shelley A. Batts, Nicholas J. Anthis, Tara C. Smith (2008). Advancing Science through Conversations: Bridging the Gap between Blogs and the Academy PLoS Biology, 6 (9) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.0060240

38 Year Old Disabled Single Mom Seeks Grant Money For Bills And Better Housing
by Tricia Lawson
(South Glens Falls, NY, USA)
My name is Tricia Lawson. I had a car accident in 2008 that herniated a disk in my neck and two in my back, which caused me to be disabled.
It has caused me to not be able to do the things I used to do like fun things with my daughter. And I cannot keep up with all my medical and other bills I have.
I have severe pain in my back, left leg and neck every day and try to do what I can, which is very hard.
I go to the doctor's a lot to try and find some way to ease the pain but so far it has not worked.
I found out after I went for an MRI after the accident that I had a mass in my pelvis and a mass in my neck. The mass in my neck turned out to be cancer on my thyroid and my vascular and the mass in my pelvic was a tumor on my ovary.
I have had four surgeries done from December 2008 to October of 2009. The surgeries were to remove my thyroid completely, remove an ovary and back surgery.
I also had to go through radioactive iodine treatment for the cancer I had and I have to keep being checked every year to make sure it has not returned.
It has been a really rough life for me since the accident and I feel like I will never be caught up on medical or other bills.
It has been really rough on my daughter too to see her mom go through what I have gone through and it's not over yet.
I will never be the same again and that really affects her. I am trying to make her life a normal one but its really hard when I can't do what I used to be able to do and I am always struggling to make sure things are paid.

Renault will add a new Twingo to its Z.E. range of electric vehicles in the second half of 2014, according to Jacques Bousquet, head of Renault Italy. The French automaker's official said the Twingo Z.E. will be the company's fifth EV, after the Kangoo, Fluence, Twizy and Zoe.
The executive revealed that Renault's alliance with Daimler AG helped speed up the development of the next-generation Twingo-based Z.E. model, as the Twingo's new platform will be shared with a future four-seat Smart car.
Bousquet added that the Kangoo Z.E. will be joined by more electric vans in the future. "The Kangoo Z.E. is the first of a broader range of battery-powered light commercial vehicles we are currently developing," he said.
The official also revealed the timetable for the market launch of the Z.E. models as well as their prices in France. The first to go on sale will be the Fluence Z.E. sedan, which will arrive in showrooms in mid-2011 with a base price of €26,000 ($36,200) including sales tax. The monthly fee for the battery lease (on a 36-month plan) will be €79 ($110).
Next up will be the Kangoo Z.E.. The small commercial van will cost €20,000 ($27,850) excluding tax, while there's also a €72 ($100) fee to be paid each month for the battery pack. In France, the car will cost €15,000 ($20,900) since it qualifies for incentives, equaling the price of the diesel Kangoo.
The two-seater Twizy EV will be launched in December for a price of €6,990 ($9730) including tax, plus €45 ($63) as a monthly payment for the battery. Finally, the core model for the Z.E. range, the Zoe supermini, will arrive in mid-2012. The price hasn't been announced yet, but Renault plans to sell 150,000 units a year of the Zoe Z.E.
As for the Kangoo and Fluence EVs, Renault aims to sell 30,000 to 50,000 units a year of each model.

A major retailer with the biggest online retail presence are releasing this double show on DVD in the US and Canada on June 17th 2014 as a commercially manufactured boxed production.
A British and European release is planned later.
As a joint collaborator of both projects with the Irish director, Jason Figgis, `Cathnafola` is a terrifying account of an investigation shot at the ruins of an old Irish country estate which has something very dark attached to some very unpleasant history. This investigation was spawned from some compelling footage shot in Ireland, and concerned a terrifying event that some amateur ghost hunters caught on camera.
My later follow up visit triggered an event that I and the team was not prepared for......
`Leap into Darkness` is a free additional investigation of a visit to Ireland`s notorious Castle Leap.
All that Leap is reputed for happened during the all-night vigil, which includes some fantastic footage of events captured there ....
This is a fantastic step forward, and I hope this video presentation will prove to be very popular with American and Canadian audiences looking for something more ethereal than that normally shared to television viewing audiences.
I cannot give you a price as yet, but I will update you all nearer to the date.
This should give a much wider platform to the work and investigations carried out by Haunted Earth.

Blogfest: Top Ten Horror/Science Fiction Movie Quotes
I'm in a Wilderness First Aid class all day today, so I'm posting early. I wish I'd spent more time preparing for this.. I left out so many great movies!
The Omen
A trend I greatly enjoy in movies, as you'll see, is creepy little kids. Also random movie quotes that appear in heavy metal songs.
When the Jews return to Zion, and a comet fills the sky, and the holy Roman Empire rises, then you and I must die. From the eternal sea he rises, creating armies on either shore, turning man against his brother, until man exists no more.
Event Horizon:
I love the images in this movie. I think when I first went to watch it, I was expecting a science fiction movie. I wasn't anticipating ... well, the movie I saw.
-You know nothing. Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
This is one of two movies that to this day keeps me up at night.
-Once you've looked into the darkness I think you carry it with you for the rest of your life.
The Exorcist
...this is the other one. My father used to torment me as a child by chanting:
-Why you do this to me, Dimmy?
A Boy and his Dog
Harlan Ellison, made into a movie? Yes, please.
-Well, I'd certainly say she had marvelous judgment, Albert, if not particularly good taste.
2001: A space odyssey
Arthur C. Clarke really did a number on my philosophy of life.
-Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
Silent Hill
I love. Love. Love.
-When you're hurt and scared for so long, the fear and pain turn to hate and the hate starts to change the world.
Like most people, I say I love this movie, but I can't really explain it to you.
In heaven, everything is fine.
I don't like this movie at all, but it was the first honest-to-goodness B-movie I'd ever seen.
-Well, Old Man Johnson could've died in any one of five ways. His neck and back were broken, his chest was crushed, his skull was fractured. And here's one for Sherlock Holmes. There was enough formic acid in him to kill twenty men.
City of Lost Children
Oh, the French..
In any case, this batch is as fresh as they come. Not one of them is over five years old.
Rosemary's Baby
If I had seen this movie before becoming numb to horror, I'm sure it would have had a stronger effect on me.
-What's in it?
-Snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails.
-But what if we want a girl?
Jacob's Ladder
Given my love of the Silent Hill series, of course I love the inspiration for the game's visuals. I also appreciate the use of the following line in a Sun Caged song..
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
Again, I wish I had spent more time on this blogfest! But it was definitely fun watching some old favorites!

Awesome list! How did I forget Event Horizon - such a scary movie?ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking part.
Top Ten Movie Quotes Blogfest
You have some buried gems in your list. Great job! :)ReplyDelete
Quite a different list from what I've been seeing so far.ReplyDelete
wow, those are some really great quotes - and I so agree with you about Eraserhead. I sat through that movie with a WTF look on my face the whole time.ReplyDelete
I loved them. But I like B creature movies. Clarke changed my philosophy too.ReplyDelete
You went with some unique ones!ReplyDelete
Your gems are horror backlit - way to quote ;)ReplyDelete
Silent Hill -- Great choice!ReplyDelete
Oh yeah, Rosemary's Baby. Totally freaky. I caught it on tv one day so I watched it.ReplyDelete
I'm not as big on the horror movies as I am with sci/fi. I love the last quote.ReplyDelete
I haven't seen Jacob's Ladder in years. I think I should go rent it.ReplyDelete
Hi, Renee. I love the Omen and The Exorcist mentions. You've got a lot here that I haven't seen, so I'm playing catch-up. I tried Rosemary's Baby once, but it didn't do much for me. Thanks for posting.ReplyDelete
You have definitely got a unique list which is nice! not one Star Wars or Star Trek quote!!ReplyDelete
Not too shabby of a list at all. I had a HAL quote as well-- from the same scene. Eraserhead is totally bizarre -- I'm a huge fan of Lynch films.ReplyDelete
Tossing It Out and the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2011
totally full scope of a list, you right now are the winner in my book!ReplyDelete
Thank you for being part of this, it was a great time and success.
Jeremy [iZombie]
I haven't seen a large portion of your list. Must go to Netflix.com.ReplyDelete
I haven't seen Event Horizon in such a long time. What a creepy movie. Great unique list!ReplyDelete
Another great quote from 2001, Hal is back in my head after this blogfest!ReplyDelete
We both used the same 2001: A Space Odyssey quote. Isn't that great?ReplyDelete
Hi ReneeReplyDelete
I was recently awarded the Stylish blogger award and I would now like to pass it on to you.
If you get a chance please stop by my blog. Sorry for posting this here, I didn't have your email address.

Contrast sharpens perception
Reducing clutter should make it easier on the eyes to find what they are looking for.
Many experience a great deal of discomfort by noise and turning the volume down increases their ability to concentrate on whatever they wish to be concentrating on.
Think of how singer Adele became popular with ignoring all the usual traffic increasing measures, such as social media.
Talk talk is one such cause of pollution.
Now evidence is increasing that reducing colours may help with orientation.
Especially when it comes to interface design for websites.
Generally speaking, websites are terribly cluttered with colour.
And they are becoming static like print.
This is changing and adored change agents are listening.

text: PALEPALE (Πάλη: Eth.Παλεῖς, Eth. Παλῆς, Thuc.; Palenses: the city itself is usually called Παλεῖς: also ἡ Παλαιέων πόλις, Plb. 5.3), a town in Cephallenia on the eastern side of a bay in the north-western part of the island. It is first mentioned in the Persian wars, when two hundred of its citizens fought at the battle of Plataea, alongside of the Leucadians and Anactorians. (Hdt. 9.28.) It also sent four ships to the assistance of the Corinthians against the Corcyraeans just before the commencement of the Peloponnesian War (Thuc. 1.27); from which circumstance, together with its fighting along with the Corinthian Leucadians and Anactorians at the battle of Plataea, it has been conjectured that Pale was a Corinthian colony. But whether this was the case or not, it joined the Athenian alliance, together with the other towns of the island, in B.C. 431. (Thuc. 2.30.) At a later period Pale espoused the side of the Aetolians against the Achaeans, and was accordingly besieged by Philip, who would have taken the city but for the treachery of one of his own officers. (Pol. 5.3, 4.) Polybius describes Pale as surrounded by the sea, and by precipitous heights on every side, except the one looking towards Zacynthus. He further states that it possessed a fertile territory, in which a considerable quantity of corn was grown. Pale surrendered to the Romans without resistance in ra. 100.189 (Liv. 38.28); and after the capture of Same by the Romans in that year, it became the chief town in the island. It was in existence in the time of Hadrian, in whose reign it is called in an inscription ἐλευθέρα καὶ αὐτόνομος. (Böckh, Inscr. No. 340.) According to Pherecydes, Pale was the Homeric Dulichium : this opinion was rejected by Strabo (x. p.456), but accepted by Pausanias (6.15.7). The remains of Pale are seen on a small height, about a mile and a half to the north of the modern Lixúri. Scarcely anything is left of the ancient city; but the name is still retained in that of Pálio and of Paliki, the former being the name of the plain around the ruins of the city, and the latter that of the whole peninsula. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 64.)

"Dear Miss Irwin," by Director Phil Kassen
Dear Miss Irwin...
Please let me introduce myself. My name is Philip Kassen...
When the high school opened it was named after you, giving us a very long name which we have since condensed to LREI. I thought to write today as it is the eve of Founders Day, a day when we celebrate the school, it founding and its future and, well, when we celebrate you!
Each year on Founders Day the whole school gathers together. Much as was done in your day, when we are together we sing. We will sing and talk and then the "big event" will take place. Each year we perform a play about the founding of the school—about how you created a progressive public school which was then closed by the City but was saved when the school community came together to fund the future. This performance is the highlight of the day. To be truthful, for some the highlight is that we give everyone ice cream to commemorate the famous meeting in the ice cream parlor where the parents hatched their plan to create a private school.
Founders Day is an important day in the life of Little Red. The assembly is so very much fun, but more importantly, the day is essential for us as it reminds us of from whence we came, about the founding of the school and your work in creating a powerful laboratory for progressive educational practice. We celebrate the founding of a school that puts children and childhood at its center, without giving way on high expectations for student achievement. We celebrate a school that connects the classroom to the world, still accomplished in ways initiated by you, Miss Irwin. For example, with our youngest students, we use blocks to teach a variety of concepts and to truly build the world in the classroom. (Some believe that there are blocks in the classrooms that may have been there when you were in the school, the same for the blocks on the roof.) We often rebuild the world on a large scale—restaurants, Lenape villages, Colonial museums and Egyptian tombs. We connect the school to the world by going out into it—we take many trips, hundreds each year, some around the corner, and others around the world. On behalf of school kids everywhere, thank you for inventing school trips. We also connect the classroom to the world through the arts—singing, painting, building, and acting—which are as integral to our program as they were when you started the school.
We spend significant time during Founders Day thinking about another way the school is connected to the world. We ask ourselves, how can we help students to feel the power of being involved citizens, to develop the skills that allow them to participate and to be thoughtful, decent, and just people? This is not separate from the commitment to the world as an academic exercise, they are part and parcel of a progressive education, as you well know. Recently, I have been reading the collected writings of your successor, Dr. Randolph "Rank" Smith. I don't know if you ever met him. In a lengthy note to the parents in December 1943, he wrote of the type of school he would want for his children. (N.B. Rank used phrases we see as biased today. I chose to leave them in to be historically accurate.)
For just as successful happy living must have its emotional base, so it must have its contemporary social content. This second question might be put something like this: Does this school steadily help children extend the range and variety of people with whom they can feel at home, both those from the "wrong side" of the railroad track as well as those from the "right": in short, does it take its democracy seriously pledging allegiance to the constant need for safeguarding and extending democracy through all aspects of our social, economic, and political life?
Later in the same piece, he wrote, "I would like for my youngsters, therefore, the chance to go to a school where teachers would help them have richly human experiences helping build democracy in world-important terms."
If it has not come through clearly enough, we think about you and your goals quite often and are just so very grateful for your efforts. We try to use our heritage, your work and the work of your immediate successors, as a guide towards our brightest future. We ask ourselves if you would recognize the school if you would be proud of the somewhat bigger "Little Red School House" as a worthy successor to your school? I hope you would and feel confident that that would be the case.
I wonder what you would suggest we do next. How do we teach for the future when the world is changing so rapidly? (I am sure that you thought the same thing, though I imagine you would find the pace of change today to be dizzying.) To use one of our favorite of your comments about the school, as the school grows, making room for new coats, how to choose the best new larger coat?*
Thank you again for the foresight and effort that went into creating "your experiment." It is still such vital, hopeful place.
With admiration,
*"The school will not always be just what it is now, but we hope it will always be a place where ideas can grow, where heresy will be looked upon as possible truth, and where prejudice will dwindle from lack of room to grow. We hope it will be a place where freedom will lead to judgment -- where ideals, year after year, are outgrown like last season's coat for larger ones to take their places." - Elisabeth Irwin

Rock the Capital's pay raise list
Posted by By Rock The Capital - Admin at 10 July, at 13 : 34 PM Print
From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Rock the Capital, led by Eric Epstein, is one of the citizens watchdog groups that have criticized 60 state legislators for not returning to the state treasury the four months of higher pay they received from a controversial pay raise enacted in July 2005 and repealed in November 2005. The group released this list of seven senators, who are still in office, and 53 House members, some of whom have retired or been defeated and some who are still in office. Mr. Epstein noted that some lawmakers did donate their raise money to charities (resulting in tax benefits) but still will benefit from the "pension bump" caused by the higher salary.

This is what I've decided about my blog, and life in general.
But mostly about my Blog.
Do what you do and don't think twice about it.
You see? I worry far too much about what people think.
It's giving me frown lines between the eyes so I always look grumpy even when I'm not... oh so not cool.
It's a very bad habit.
I have a lot of bad habits;
Chocolate and Strawberries being one.
I worry about my bad habits.
Which in itself is a bad habit.
But chocolate is probably one of my favourites... if I had to pick one.
My least favourite bad habit is worrying about what people think of me;
which I may have mentioned already.
I'm going in circles here.
But I feel it's an important circle.
If I had a tail right now I'm sure I'd be chasing it.
And in no way, am I making reference to a dog, in reference to me.
It was just an analogy.
I like analogies.
Love them in fact.
I have to work hard not to use an analogy every time I write on my blog.
It's a bad writing habit.
Which often triggers the "what do people think" habit, and well...
It just never ends.
So I've decided to stop my blog worries in their tracks.
If you like coming here for a visit every day.
I am thrilled.
But if you read this and think...
* This sure must take a lot of time.
* Boy she goes overboard on a zillion pictures, one or two would be just fine.
* I bet she has loads of laundry that are piling up.
* And why and the heck does she take pictures of herself and then post them for me to look at?
* Who does she think she is? (answers to these burning questions can be found below.)
Then I'm thinking this is just not time well spent for you.
(This line would be so well delivered by Joan Cusack... I love her by the way.)
It might even be considered a bad habit.
And I've been told you should try to get rid of those.
You see? That is what I've decided to do.
No more worrying about what people think.
I'm just going to "Do what I Do."
And that, my friends, appears to be writing a daily blog.
So thanks for stopping by.
I need to go fetch my laundry now.
See that?
See what I did?
The dog analogy again.
I just can't help myself.
It's just what I do.
It's the only way.
Love ya,
* Truth be told, it does, but I'm getting more efficient, plus I don't scrapbook.
* Too bad, love my pics.
* Today... yes.
* I'm weird.
* Umm? Dana? (It's written above in Orange letters?)
It meant "Man From Denmark."
I've dealt with it.

Welcome to my little space on the web. Come in, wipe your feet. Make yourself at home. Fancy a cup of tea? Coffee? Take a look around the place. If you need me I'll be on the contact page, metaphorically speaking.
Find out more about what it is I have to offer on the services page.
A portfolio of illustration can be found on the illustration page. If you are interested in some of my e-learning, promotional video or design work then take a look at my design portfolio.

So for the next 4 years,
I propose a return to Chivalry.
We men should show the women in our lives,
and every woman we meet
such great care and tenderness.
Every person of color. Great care and affection.
Every person of every kind of gender preference/expression,
every ethnicity, every religion: Great care and tenderness and compassion, and a wish for their happiness.
To rid the world of hate we must begin with ourselves.
Even the poorest teller at the grocery store, the waitress, the garbage collector, the man or woman who cleans the toilets at the office building. Great care, and respect.
This is how we will get through this:
We will start behaving and living
with utmost regard to our highest principles.
And what are our highest principles?
Truth? Nonviolence? Universal Compassion?
(those are my suggestions)
Let us use our mind skillfully
and practice action which is not motivated by
greed or hatred.
to express a POSITIVE VISION
Here is a short introduction to the practice:
This video is part of a meditation practice.
Practice means "time spent doing it".
May you, and all beings
be happy and free from suffering :)

text: Critics are calling it "The Bad Mommy Diaries" meets Nancy Drew. Well, sort of. That's exactly what critics would be calling my latest foray into novel writing if they were reading it. 8 Mistakes comes out Oct 10 and I am offering it as a presale for Kindle, Nook and Kobo. Follow the links below to get your advance copy and make the critics jealous that you got to read it first. Oh and be sure to post a review on Goodreads…we LOVE reviews. (Good ones that is…)
