The name Velvet Truckstop works off of two disparate images: a velvet Elvis and an interstate diner. But it calls to mind something else — something decidedly Southern, yet traveled; something blue collar, yet decadent; something familiar, yet slightly dangerous. All of which work pretty well when it comes to the sound of the local rockers who go by that moniker. And, though Velvet Truckstop has been a band for more than half a decade (guitarist Dorsey Parker and lead vocalist/guitarist/mandolin player Jamie Dose are the two consistent members), it's this spring that the right kind of momentum is building to catapult them to national recognition.
Not that Parker and Dose are saying that. "We weren't born with rock star last names," is what Dose says. Which means they've had to work hard. But, lately, Velvet Truckstop has been brushing elbows with rock pedigree, mainly in the form of producer Johnny Sandlin, who has been associated with Capricorn Records and musicians from around Muscle Shoals, Ala. He worked on the Allman Brothers' early '70s-era albums and on the Cher and Gregg Allman duet. He worked with Marie Osmond and produced two Widespread Panic records. In 2009, he expressed interest in Velvet Truckstop.
"He's a big part of the music Dorsey and I grew up with," says Dose. Both he and Parker agree that garnering Sandlin's attention was an assurance that they're on the right track. Because, face it, recent years have been more about a folk-punk aesthetic than Southern rock. (Says Dose, "We'd like to see musicianship come back, and we'd like it to have electric guitars. We're not going to change our sound and start writing with drum machines.")
"When you're under a lot of pressure [in the studio], it can be difficult to get really focused," says Parker, "But Johnny's so calm and focused on what the music needs. It was an amazing experience to to work with someone we all respected and who was coming from the perspective of what makes the song the best."
Parker and Dose think that the recording process has made them a better band — Dose likens Sandlin's method to molding wet clay. "He shaped the band's raw material," says the singer. "We went through the process. Sometimes your ego's like, 'That's not how we pictured things,' but when you end up with a finished product, which is what an album is, you can see how strong of an influence he was on what we were doing, and from here on."
After a couple of years of meetings and sessions in Alabama, the Sandlin-helmed album (as yet unnamed) is close to release, and while a drop date has not been set, Parker and Dose are hoping that it might be concurrent with Velvet Truckstop's just-announced headlining slot at Downtown After Five. Parker and Dose (with current band members Jacob Baumann on drums and Ian Herrod on bass) will launch the season's monthly street party series on Friday, May 18. And they'll do it in style — with guests Shen Hunt of the Zach Deputy Band on percussion and Tom Constanten on keys. Constanten performed with The Grateful Dead from 1968-70. He was on Velvet Truckstop's debut album, Sweet Release, and played some shows with the band before moving to the West Coast for awhile.
"We were happy to find out he was going to be available for the May show," says Dose.
That means Velvet Truckstop will not only be showing off its new material but "we'll get to dive into the Grateful Dead catalog a little more than we would otherwise," says Parker.
Before that show happens, Velvet Truckstop may have some other big news to report. The band has been nominated by the Charlotte Music Awards for best N.C. band in both the rock and country categories. The awards show takes place on Thursday, April 26, followed immediately by two (hopefully celebratory!) Asheville shows.

How To Plan A Birthday Cake Your Little One Will Totally Enjoy?
Are you planning a party for a child? Do you want to make sure they, above everyone else, have a great time? if so, the tips and suggestions mentioned below might be able to help you out…
The surprise party vs the party they get to plan
As parents, we love giving our kids surprisesalmost as much as they enjoy getting them! there's just something really pure about their reactions. And let's admit it, when it comes to planning a party, it can sometimes be easier not having your kids underfoot, lengthening the planning. But the one thing to remember here is that this is, after all, your baby's party; so some form of involvement is necessary. Even if you don't want to have them involved in any other aspect of the planning or organizing, consider asking their help with the invitations. This will serve to hype up their excitement for the big day; making the party extra special for them.
Thinking out of the box when it comes to the cake
The birthday cake is, without any doubt, the biggest point of attraction after the birthday girl or boy. One of the best tips we can give you is to avoid making the cake yourself; it's just too much stress when you have to handle the rest of the organizing. Apart from that, who says you should only opt for 21st birthday cakes for your daughter, or boy's cakes for your son? You can be as creative as you want, keeping your child's preferences and interests in mind when selecting a design for itopting even for cupcakes, if it's more your child's style…
Inviting the right people; and inviting them in style
Like we mentioned before, it's their party. So the guests of it needs to be people they are familiar with, comfortable with, and enjoy having around them. While it might be tempting to simply invite a handful of kids, and a whole bunch or adults, this could mess up your plans of having your child really enjoy his or her party. Apart from paying attention to who you invite (and making sure you get the best cakes for the party!) you also have to pay attention to how you invite them. Video invitations are a fun method, can get your child involved in, and certainly something you can DIY…
Entertaining your guests, the fun way
Without a doubt, kids can have fun by themselves; but arranging for a little entertainment can help them have fun as well. Bouncing castles, magic shows, kids' movies are all great options for you. apart from these, you can can also opt for a few board games (depending on the age of the children attending, and the amount of children attending) to start them off…Read More

This weekend has been filled with lots of festivities, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and today is Cyber Monday! It has really given me a little taste of the holiday season, since I still can't seem to register in my mind that it's already almost the end of the year. But honestly, how is the long weekend already over? It felt like it flew by within a blink of an eye and now we're shaken out of the holiday cheer and thrown into the cold reality of Mondays. Although the weekend may be over, I've selected this week's best of the internet to pull you out of that Monday sadness. Let's make this week great.

@itssunnyrebecca on lots of my social media accounts!
One // Dear Non-Blogger: Why Being a Blogger Isn't Always As it SeemsI found that this post is super similar to my post about What It's Actually Like Being a Blogger and loved it. Written by Hayley (Frock Me I'm Famous), it highlights the insecurities of bloggers and how they're not as perfect as you think they are. It's important to know that things aren't always as they seem and everyone has their good and bad days.
Two // What You Think Bloggers Do vs. What We Really DoSimilar to the previously mentioned post and also from Frock Me I'm Famous, this post also covers the reality of blogging and its common misconceptions. Blogging requires a lot more work than it seems and others often don't realize that.
Three // How to Make the Most Out of High SchoolThis guest post on Normally in Navy by Rebecca really caught my eye, and not just because we have the same name. She mentions some tips and advice for having a great high school experience and living it to the fullest.
Four // Five Tips to a More Confident YouYou know what they say, confidence is key, but let's just be honest, it's not easy to be confident. However, it's not impossible to gain self-confidence. Arin Agase from the Glitter Guide gives five tips for becoming more confident that can be applied to your daily life.
Five // 12 Life Lessons I've Learned in 20 YearsOlivia (StylebyLiv) gives some great advice based on her personal experience throughout her 20 years of age, all of which are sooo useful! They include things such as ensuring your happiness and living your life to the fullest. I think that everyone can benefit from these lessons whether they have not yet discovered these life lessons or they just need a little reminder.
Six // Where to Find the Best Parisian DoorsHello fellow door lovers! Ever seen those gorgeous Parisian doors on instagram? This post on History in High Heels includes a map to the prettiest doors in Paris. Forget geocaching, now it's possible to go on an adventure and scavenge for doors.

By Alia Naffouj, U.S. Army Garrison Japan Public AffairsOctober 31, 2016
CAMP ZAMA, Japan (Nov. 1, 2016) - Camp Zama's Army Substance Abuse Program helped Zama students celebrate Red Ribbon Week Oct. 24 to 28 with this year's theme "You Only Live Once. Be Drug Free."
Red Ribbon Week - a national campaign held Oct. 21-31 that brings drugs abuse awareness to schools - is a program that started back in the 1980s in honor of a Drug Enforcement Administration agent Kiki Camerena, whose goal was to educate youth on drug prevention, according to RaShonda Labrador, ASAP manager.
The "YOLO. Be Drug Free"campaign focused on making healthy, confident life choices.
The week highlighted substance abuse prevention, including over-the-counter medications, prescription medications and illegal substances.
"It is really geared towards our youth population. From young age elementary school all the way up into to early adulthood, "said Labrador.
ASAP representatives provided information on drug abuse prevention and how to thrive for classes at Arnn Elementary School throughout the week.
Arnn students also participated in daily dress-up activities.
Students in fifth and sixth grade had the opportunity to create posters to represent a drug free life.
One teacher said she hopes students understand the importance of staying focused on their dreams and not letting negative things like substance abuse sidetrack them.
"I want them to understand that they have brilliance and potential and not to let anything stand in their way as they grow up from achieving their goals," said Michelle Bolin, Arnn fifth-grade teacher.
"I think if you see something that you're not familiar with - that's in a bottle or is just wrapped in paper - then do not mess with it cause you never know what it could be," said Katelyn Grubbs, fifth-grade student at Arnn.
Students seemed to grasp the message.
"I want to be a police officer, and I don't want to take drugs because I want to pursue my dream," said Timothy Armstrong, fifth-grade student at Arnn.
Zama American High School and Middle School had some lunchtime activities provided by ASAP.
ASAP sponsored a prevention table that included a quiz to test students on various types of drugs and the consequences of taking them.
Labrador said that peer pressure definitely happens, especially in middle and high school.
"I always just tell them ... be unapologetically you... you do what you want to do; don't fall into the trap of doing what someone else says is fun," said Labrador.
Students lined up to try ASAP's drunk impairment goggles, which simulate what it is like when someone has had too much to drink.
"The goggles showed that doing anything under the influence will seriously mess up your life," said John Harris, seventh-grade student at ZAMS. "It's really hard to think, or move in anyway, while under the influence."
"One of the biggest things is we just really wanted them to take away what it was like to be in that state and what would they tell someone so that they don't end up in a bad situation," said Labrador.
The students also had the opportunity to take a pledge to be drug free.
"It (the pledge) means that I'm gonna stay drug free, and that I'm not going to engage in any risky behavior involving drugs because it will seriously mess up my life," said John.
Students have many resources available to help them. There are imbedded military family life counselors that are inside the schools, school psychologists, school counselors, and parents said Labrador.
"If you do find yourself in a situation where you don't think that you're strong enough to say no, at least go find an adult," said Labrador, "whether it's your parent, a school official, or someone in the community that you trust ... they can help you to get out of a hard situation."

MAN Roland Spins Off Certain Marketing Functions, Forms Graphic Arts PR Firm
Monday, February 11, 2002
Press release from the issuing companyFebruary 11, 2002 - Symbiotix, a new marketing agency for the printing industry and related businesses, has opened its doors in Offenbach. The new company was set up following a decision made by MAN Roland to concentrate on its core areas of marketing competence on the one hand, and to outsource the marketing services being carried out at its Offenbach location on the other. MAN Roland holds a fifty-percent stake in Symbiotix. When asked about the purpose of the new agency, co-founder and managing director Karl-Heinz Dobert, who brings many years of experience with MAN Roland to the new company, replied: "We regard ourselves as a specialist agency for the graphic industry, from the machine manufacturer through to the printing house". Symbiotix offers its clients a certain range of marketing services in the sector of market research, trade fairs, events, trade-press releases, and the production of promotional materials such as sales bulletins and product brochures. Core functions such as corporate communications, the coordination of all press activities, sales-network communication, product marketing, as well as the conception and planning of marketing strategies remain firmly anchored within MAN Roland, with the usual contact partners. The majority of the twelve staff currently employed by the new company switched directly from MAN Roland's marketing department following an agreement made with the printer manufacturer. "We therefore have an extraordinarily experienced team right from the out-set", explains Dobert. "Other companies in the graphic industry will also be able to profit from our experience". According to Dobert, even medium-sized companies are becoming increasingly aware of the need for professional marketing and professional internal and external communication.

Found a ton of photos in a box while cleaning out my childhood bedroom. What a great opportunity to embarrass myself and the one's I love.
My Jim Harbaugh grin at some ice cream parlor in Allendale, Michigan in 2002. These kids to the right were doing something funny that was not captured on film. But, I like the picture all the same...
"Excuse me Mr. Queer, will you take a picture with my sons?" Nothing like being 15 years old and taking a trip down to Chicago to see The Queers, the Groovie Ghoulies, Screw 32, and Alkaline Trio (their first show) at the Metro. That was also the trip where the highway caught on fire in Gary, Indiana and no one seemed to care. They just drove through it.
Mike Nummerdor after the Chicago concert. We stayed at some hotel in Michigan City, Indiana and stayed up all night (which was easy if you drank enough Bubba Cola). I'll have to put up the pictures of us at the outlet mall next to the nuclear plant and other oddities at some point.
Meerkat Mike. Probably about 1997 when the Nummerdor family moved into their home on the corner of Forest Park and Lake Harbor. Lynne tasked us with removing a post at the end of the driveway, which ended up being a far bigger task than expected. We did far more damage than help on that project.
Nick Nummerdor as a groundhog.
"Mom. You just hit that button. No, not that one. The other one. No. What? Did it go off?" This was part of some project I was working on . There are a series of these photos trying to instruct my mom on how to use the weird, cheap camera I use to own.
Hey! There's a gnome behind that rock!
J.T. Law teamwork retreat to St. Andrew's Hall in Pontiac, Michigan to see NoFX. We're with Fat Mike, the lead singer and bassist. Ben looks confused because he thought he was just some random guy we met in the parking lot.
Nick, Greg from the Bouncing Souls, and myself before the show at St. Andrew's Hall
Ah, Ben figured out how I scored us free tickets to the show and we're not just randomly harassing people in the parking lot.
Grand Rapids is Burning! On my way to something and got stuck when a building burned down near Division Street.

I'm not familiar with the new debconf directive mechanism. Is there any documentation I could look at? Any pointers would be appreciated. :-) If directives weren't available, I would probably have gone for a similar but slightly diffent solution - we could have partman-crypto provide a description fragment _Description: The encryption key for ${DEVICE} is now being created. The different 'entropy' type frontend plugins would take the fragment and integrate it with the appropriate frontend- specific text to form a complete dialog. IOW, if directives are a good fit for this use, I see no reason to not go ahead with the proposal you outlined. Max

Soul Shoes first performance & fundraiser- All Nets Have Holes
In May, 2015, we gathered to learn about the Soul Shoes Project and share the one-woman performance All Nets Have Holes. Our little salon space was filled with guests from Instanbul, Turkey, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, and Loveland, Denver, Fort Collins, Golden and Estes Park, Colorado. Soul Shoe makers Mike Sheridan and Clare Arena Haden introduced the shoes they had made with their sons and actress Clare Arena Haden jumped into the performance to masterfully sing a lullaby and interact with Jinx Davis's final dramatic character. Our audience was splendid, energetic, generous, supportive, intelligent…and best of all they got it…and many promised to make shoes! We thank each of them.
We are editing videos of Clare's tender lullaby and Mike's earnest explanation of his Soul Shoes. Coming soon!
Thank you for sharing your beauty and energy with us! Jim and I agreed that it was a spectacular evening that needs a repeat! – Tessa Canaiy
Took me about 5 minutes to be blown away by your talent Jinx. I had a great time. Will forward the info to my friend in San Fran today…I bet he will be a part of it…he's a great artist. – Linda Crawford Napier
Your performance was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening! Your cheesecake was so delicious too! Thank you, thank you for inviting us. We enjoyed all four acts but especially the first one about the disappearance of Grace. So touching! You are a superb performer and we feel blessed to know you. Be well, my friend. – Jerry and Felice Thorson-Boudreaux
Just have to say it again. Thank you for a wonderful evening out and it was so good to laugh until I cried. -Joanne & Gary
Never seen anything like this. So much energy, love, emotion, craft, talent and intelligence. We were in awe. Clare was wonderful and we were so impressed with how she improvised with you. You are lucky to have such incredibly talented friends. You and Andy were so generous and we truly have never experienced an evening like this in our lives. Thank you, Jinx. – M and L

Do you need a notary public in
Clark County, WA?
Hi there. My name is Jared King, and I'm not just your neighbor, I'm also a mobile notary. Do you need a notary available to you on your schedule at your location? I'll be happy to come to you as far north as Kalama and as far east as Stevenson.
Why do I need a notary?
- Are you forming a business as a partnership, an LLP or LLC with two or more people involved? A notary can certify to and attest that those who are signing the document are who they say they are. We would all like to think that all of our ventures are going to go smoothly and people are who they represent themselves to be, but it isn't always the case. Having a notarized signature provides an added layer of protection for you against fraud and breach of contract so that you can focus on just getting your business done.
- Are you buying a piece of real estate/car/business? A notary can protect you, ensuring that the person who is representing themselves as the seller is truly who they say they are. You don't want to pay for a house/car/business, only to find out that it's not yours because it was never the other party's to sell. Because it holds weight as a durable, legal signature, notarization protects you from being fraudulently conned out of all of your money.
- Are you selling a piece of real estate/car/business? A notary can protect you, ensuring the seller is who they say they are and preventing you from being embroiled in the legal hassles that go along with signing a contract with a person falsely representing themselves. Yours and their notarized signature will provide you greater protection should need to litigate arise.
- Do you need to provide for medical or financial Power of Attorney? Whether it is limited or durable, if you would like to appoint another individual to have power of attorney to care for your financial issues, or you want to have the protection of a trusted person over-seeing your medical care in case of decreasing health or severe injuries, to have a strong legal status and to allow your wishes to be executed by them without serious delay (if they are able to at all), you need to have your signature notarized for your own protection.

As a techie on the Internet, I often get asked about programming. While I do not use much programming these days, I was educated in programming in my university days and have seen the trend of where my colleagues have ended. Before I continue this discussion, I think the most important thing is to start and be aware that coding trends change and if you want your skills to apply to your dream job, be aware that in industry, the priority is becoming good at one language. In other words, don't stress about learning every language.
In this list, we'll be discussing imperative languages (which you instruct the computer how to do a task; you've probably heard of object-oriented programming, which is a type of imperative language), which will allow you to focus on programming concepts. Here are the top five best programming langues for beginners based on current job trends and ease in transition for beginners.
Python is another highly recommended language for beginners, and is the most popular introductory language at Top U.S. Universities (I can attest to this- it was my first programming class!) and is used by companies like Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon. Python is a multi-purpose language whose simple syntax makes for a powerful tool and is known for being one of the easiest languages to pick up but also be as challenging as other languages when presented with "advanced" code such as multi-threading. As Python is an open source language, it additionally offers ease in finding online resources as well as provides a large standard library to create GUIs, manipulate regular expressions, or connect to relational databases. Check out these recommended courses if you want to get started: Top 10 Best Python Programming Online Courses.
This programming language is best known as the language used alongside of HTML and CSS for making webpages. Much of the language is used for back-end development as well, so it will still be relevant to future web development. Check out these recommended courses if you want to get started: Top 10 Best Javascript Programming Online Courses.
This start-up popular programming language is used with the Ruby on Rails framework, also used to develop web applications. Considered fairly easy to learn, especially since the language is much more forgiving with things like semicolons and being able to avoid learning how to use a database altogether. The language can be used to develop both front and back-end of an entire web application. In fact, many of your favorite websites like Groupon, Airbnb, Hulu, Soundcloud, even Github are created on Ruby on Rails. Check out these recommended courses if you want to get started: Top 10 Best Ruby Programming Online Courses.
Java forms a large part of the basis for Android's operating systems and is a general-purpose an cross platform language. Enterprises also love Java for its relative stability and scalability as has excellent back-end development tools and continues to be one of the enterprise development leaders. Check out these recommended courses if you want to get started: Top 10 Best Java Programming Online Courses.
While these languages can be moderate to difficult in learning ease, these languages are commonly used for gaming development for system and software applications. C++ is simply an extension of C's library, but is considered one of the most powerful languages in terms of capabilities. It is worth noting that coding in C may keep you limited to Microsoft platforms and is closed-sourced. Check out these recommended courses if you want to get started: Top 10 Best C++ Programming Online Courses and Top 10 Best C Programming Online Courses.
Now pick a language and get started today! Programming takes time and developers/programmers are not made overnight so learn as you can! Don't forget that if you're seeking coding advice or even career advice, check out and bookmark these resources:

The mistery of the wooden shipwrecked boat
Photo from AP Photo by Guy Busby
It has been buried for decades under the sands of the Gulf in Fort Morgan, Alabama. but Hurricane Ike has uncovered it.
Archeologists have formulated some hypothesis about the identity of the misterious boat, probably a vessel from the civil war, but no one seems able to say something sure

Wall Street was gripped by a fresh panic tonight as fears spread that the Greek debt crisis will trigger a new catastrophe for the fragile global banking system.
The chaos was compounded as one major bank was said to have made a big trading "error" by trying to sell a huge number of shares by mistake.
The blue-chip Dow Jones index briefly fell almost 1,000 points, or 9%, dipping below 10,000 points for the first time since early February, before halving its losses in the next 30 minutes. It closed 348 points, or 3.2%, lower at 10514.
The confusion over prices in a dramatic half-hour of trading will alarm regulators. One report said a bank's computer had attempted to sell $16bn of shares instead of $16m. An inquiry is inevitable.
Shares in Procter & Gamble – a blue-chip household name – fell from $62 to $39 in five minutes before rebounding. Shares in Apple and Accenture were also affected. It was unclear whether any trades were executed at the lower prices.
Even before the drama, world stock markets were falling after the European Central Bank gave a statement that investors dismissed as a "do nothing" response to fears of wider contagion from Greece.
The sell-off on Wall Street will cast a long shadow over the City of London, already nervous about the result of the general election. Shares in London – where trading closed before the mayhem in New York – were down, with the FTSE 100 index finishing 81 points lower at 5261, making a near-10% decline since mid-April. Futures markets were flagging big falls on Friday.
Currency markets were also rocked. The euro fell more than two cents against the dollar to $1.26. Sterling lost almost three cents to trade at $1.48.
The European Central Bank governor, Jean-Claude Trichet, said Spain and Portugal were "not Greece", and that the ECB governing council had not discussed injecting extra funds into the eurozone to boost demand and economic growth.
His comments, made as the Greek parliament passed a package of cuts in public services, failed to prevent the euro dropping to a 14-month low. Spain was forced to pay sharply higher interest rates on its debt as investors appeared to dismiss the ECB view that the eurozone was secure. Trichet said: "Greece and Portugal are not in the same boat and this is very visible when you look at the facts and the figures."
Yet leading economists such as the Nobel prizewinner Joseph Stiglitz and Nouriel Roubini, who accurately predicted the credit crunch, have expressed doubts over the survival of the euro in the light of the ECB's rigid interpretation of its remit to maintain low inflation, regardless of the consequences of low growth and rising unemployment in countries forced to take deep cuts in public spending.
Roubini and Stiglitz are sceptical that governments can or should squeeze their spending to fit constraints laid down by the ECB and eurozone rules. Professor David Blanchflower, the former Bank of England monetary policy committee member, said it was "crazy" for highly indebted countries such as Greece, Spain, Portugal and Britain to enter a "death spiral" of spending cuts that would lead to lower growth and more cuts.
"All anyone is talking about is austerity, but all you get is more unemployment and low growth. Then you find yourself in a spiral of debt as low growth forces you to cut spending further," he said.
Analysts also said the ECB was closing its eyes to tensions in the single currency zone.
"The ECB seems more concerned about cracks to its credibility than cracks to monetary union," said Christoph Rieger, co-head of fixed-income strategy at Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "This approach can be considered consistent with the ECB's principles. But it risks that the market will still force the ECB's hand before long."
Spain managed to raise €2.35bn (£2bn) in its latest government bond auction todayyesterday, but had to promise a yield of 3.58% – a fifth more than the rate it paid two months ago. Investors also pushed up the cost of insuring Spanish debt against default, despite assurances from the country's prime minister that it could meet promises to pay down debts.
The yield on Portugal's 10-year bond, which serves as an indicator of the risk of investing in the country's loans, increased by six basis points to 5.95%.
"Investors are genuinely confused and concerned about the level and growth of sovereign indebtedness and what it means for the market," said Luke Spajic, head of European credit at Pimco, the world's largest bond investor. "It's not that the market is testing one country – it's very anxious about the sustainability of debt in general."

Letter from Athens: OXI = No! Occupy the Acropolis!
On Friday, October 28th, at the national Greek aniversary of OXI [that is, NO], taking its name from the answer given to the Italian Ambassador carryng Mussolini's demand that the borders of Greece should open to the Italian army in 28.10.1940, which marked the entrance of Greece to the 2nd WW, all over Greece the official parades were taken over by the people, who chased away the representatives of the government and paraded themselves in most cities.
In Salonica, where there was the central military parade to take place [at the other cities it was high-school students' parades], the President of the Republic left protesting because of the "behaviour" of thousands of people and the military parade was abandoned, for the first time in Greek history after the 2nd WW. A 5-years old child sat at the President's of the Republic chair, and the schools and people paraded before him! At Heraclion people chased away the officials and resistance veterans sat at their chairs with the school children paraded before them.
At Athens, where nobody was able to approach the Education Ministress and the parade went on "as usual" under Draconian police measures, some schools paraded waving black handkerchiefs before her, while others turned their faces away as soon as they approached her [and in the city of Trikala the schoolchildren turned their backs away from the officials, each school as it was arriving before them]. But I suppose that you will have seen some of those events...
What you haven't seen is that while all these were happening at the morning of 28.10.2011 a group of artists, authors and academics smuggled a big OXI sign into Acropolis, wrapped up round the body of an excellent theater actress under a very large coat. And we managed to demonstrate for more than half-an-hour in Acropolis itself! We managed to do it because every and all policemen were at the parades' battlegrounds at Syntagma and everywhere in Attiki and none managed to climb Acropolis in time. I'm sending you 3 You-tube address with very short films and 3 photograps. At the films the main slogan heard is: NO at 1940, NO again by us today, the occupation will be kicked out of Greece again.
The first of the 2 songs heard is a 19th-century-song sung by the Cretan rebels at the various rebellions against the Turkish occupation, calling for armed resistance, which we sung at all the illegal demonstrations in Athens and Salonica during the 2 last years of the Military Junta and I hadn't sung or heard sung since. The second is the Greek National Anthem "Ode to Freedom", written by a great 18th-19th century poet, Dionysios Solomos, who was also a Garibaldist, about the 1821-1825 war for National Independence, which I had also not sung since the end of the dictatorship, some more than 30 years ago...
Could you further on this material to friends? My left artists-authors-academics group would greatly appreciate it!

Don't waste your time, you will just be left hanging, wondering how the story would have ended.
I would have given it 4 stars as I enjoyed the storyline just disappointed that there is no closure to the story.

It was another ordinary weekend when we decided to hunt another café we first saw online. My friend recommended a new place along EDSA. It is a café/laboratory/bar situated along the southbound lane of EDSA before reaching Ortigas fly over. It is quite hard to locate due to its plain exterior. But once you get inside, you'll be welcomed with their modern industrial design perfect for a hidden café/bar experience. The ground floor is where the Craft Point Brewing Company is. It is a beer laboratory where they basically create their own blend of beer. I find it really amazing to know they can actually do that.
Up the second floor is where the central bar is located. They serve exceptional coffee in the morning and cocktails at night. Since we came in almost nighttime, we had to try both. Around the central bar is a display of different coffee machineries and beans you can purchase if you are planning to put up your own café business.
The cocktails were pretty strong, which is the perfect blend we were looking for. Overall, the experience was phenomenal. It is definitely not your typical café but rather a nice take of an underground bar/café with a bonus of a laboratory and machinery store on the side.

David Kris examines recent developments in foreign intelligence surveillance, including the impact of the Snowden leaks and the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on public and political attitudes towards electronic surveillance. In light of these developments, Kris presents several issues that he expects will surface as the 2017 expiration date of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Amendments Act (FAA) draws near. He also addresses the longer-term impacts that other political and technological developments will have on foreign surveillance.

Rethinking Privacy: Fourth Amendment "Papers" and the Third-Party Doctrine
As the field of privacy and digital surveillance grows increasingly chaotic, Michael Price proposes a compelling supplement to the third-party doctrine. Eschewing the popular position that our privacy clashes are generational, Price instead reviews the history of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence to identify missteps in doctrine that have led us to the current impossible position. Along the way he wrestles with problems such as cloud storage and communications metadata, and he concludes with a framework that strikes a new balance between our storied civil liberties heritage and the "papers" of a big data society.
Can Technology Prevent Leaks?
Nathan Sales poses the question whether technology could have played a preventative role in the recent wave of security leaks. He first reviews the existing legal frameworks for adjudicating cases of criminal security leaks, and he finds only limited utility in these paradigms. He then proposes a technological supplement to these frameworks, an alternative he finds useful only for select categories of leaks.

Well. I'm in. Google accepted the proposal i sent, although not sure what to do now (check taxes in poland, read strange pdf's google sent), I'm really happy about it. I started the project on sourceforge already. So what's the idea? I'll take the proposal I sent to google and try to specify several development milestones. I would like to say a special Thank You to Albert Astals Cid, who agreed to mentor this project from the KDE side :) It is not the first project I'm doing for KDE, but it's the first one which consists of so much code :) I am really happy about working with you Albert :)
oKular - taking kpdf beyond just pdf's
The goal is to make a unified viewer that would use the kpdf shell and have all the superb features it provides, while supporting as many formats as possible (while the formats are rationally chosen, no use to have support for video files in kpdf).
What does KDE get? A viewer for many formats with:
- One unified look and feel
- Possibility for third party vendors to provide plugins for their format usign the public API
- Fast viewer for lots of formats that is easily embeddable in other apps like file browsers, mail readers or any other application that deals with files of different types. (thanks to recently released kpart plugin for Firefox, Firefox users finally get a decent plugin for several formats too)
- All the features of kpdf but for many more formats (including the annotation support)
- With the kword plugin ready, one will not have to wait for kword to start just to preview a document.
First milestones:
- have a fairly well designed API for the plugin structure, Stefan Kebekus asked me to check if I could use the (much incomplete) kviewshell API as a basis.
- port kpdf xpdf backend to the new plugin api
- write ghostview backend
- write chm backend
- write kword backend (and support converting formats we have kword filters internally)
I will start to code all the stuff somewhere on Wednesday, before I want to:
- publish an article about localisations in KDE, localisations not translations, about where do they suck and where are they done as properly as the non-english speaking KDE users deserve
- publish an article on one of the biggest opensource portals in Poland - 7thguard.net - about the KDE/Wikimedia cooperation and how can it be used to improve user experience
- reopen my polish blog :)

Bankruptcy and Divorce: Financial Problems After Divorce
Financial problems are the biggest cause of marital break down.
Marital problems are the biggest cause of bankruptcy.
The first statement is self-evident to anyone involved with family law or marriage counselling. The second statement may not be so self-evident. The costs of marriage break down are extensive; existing debt, disputes over division of marital assets, mounting legal fees, lost time from work, lost wages, emotional trauma etc. In addition, there are the costs of maintaining two households, costs of childcare that were previously shared, disputes over who pays which bills; all with the same incomes that you had when you were together.
If one spouse does not have the resources to deal with the problem, they may go bankrupt. The spouse considering filing an Assignment in bankruptcy does not need the consent of the other spouse. This can be just as well in that often times these relationships deteriorate to the point where their mutual lawyers are the only ones that talk. Many family debts are "joint and several." This means that the creditors can go after both or either debtor to collect the outstanding amount. If one spouse does not pay (or goes bankrupt) the creditor can go after the non-bankrupt spouse for the entire amount. This will result in the creditors going after the remaining spouse for all of the joint bills. Once this happens the remaining spouse may be shocked to receive a call from a debt collector or when they receive a Statement of Claim in the mail for the unpaid debt, especially if they believed that they had split the debts in the same fashion as they had split their marital assets. They will find themselves responsible for these debts notwithstanding the previous agreement. This will often result in that spouse filing an Assignment in bankruptcy as well.
The timing of the filing of an Assignment in bankruptcy will vary depending upon the individual circumstances. However, one might be in a better position to assess the problem after the issues of marital property and spousal/child support are dealt with. That being said, it may not be possible to wait until proceedings are completed. Should your creditors have judgments and garnishment orders, waiting to file the Assignment does not make sense, in which case you will want to speak with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. The trustee will then stand in your shoes in dealing with the assets of the estate. When speaking with your family law lawyer with regard to the division of marital property you should be aware of which assets are exempt from seizure in a bankruptcy situation, such as pensions, some RRSPs etc. and which are not, such as your free and clear boat, camper or snowmobile.
Outstanding spousal or child support debts are not discharged in bankruptcy. That is, they will still exist after one is discharged from bankruptcy and the creditor can continue to collect. The Courts have held that, where the Courts' have awarded legal costs to the party successfully obtaining such orders – those costs are part of the order, and likewise not discharged in bankruptcy. However, legal fees which have accumulated through the divorce process (other than for support) can be discharged. Claim for support proven in a bankruptcy have a special standing, in that they may have preferred status among the filed claims. This is to say that it is possible that these claims will be paid first from any realizations in the estate by the trustee.
Going through a marriage breakup is generally an emotional time in one's life. Often times we will see one spouse sign over everything to other spouse to make things easier, or agree to take on all of the debt, when that really isn't possible. In that certain, court orders in family court can have serious, long-term effects, even after bankruptcy, it is essential to get competent legal advice.

Last month, after years spent by scores of volunteers attempting to save one of the most iconic and historically important buildings remaining in all of New York City, bulldozers moved in and reduced the S.R. Smith Infirmary in Tompkinsville to rubble. This was a tragedy many decades in the making. But by no means was it inevitable.
It has been my policy over the last 13 years writing "Present, Past, Future," to focus only on those historically significant Staten Island buildings still standing. However, with the loss of this borough treasure, I feel a need to go back in time and relate the virtues of "the Castle" once more.
In 2003, this column chronicled the history of the four-towered architectural masterpiece, pondering how it could possibly be left open to the elements for such a protracted and unnecessary amount of time, resulting in its falling further to waste everyday. Today, in memory of and as tribute to the S.R. Smith Infirmary, we reprint excerpts of the original column, in the hope it will ensure no other such Island treasure will be treated this way:
Why is one of the true architectural gems ever built in this City languishing and all but abandoned? Why, especially, this building, with a history dating back to before Staten Island was swallowed up into greater New York City?
Let's go back in time to the days when Staten Island needed a hospital to care for its indigent residents.
On January 8, 1861, a one-room dispensary was opened by Dr. William C. Anderson, a member of the Richmond County Medical Society, to offer free medical care to the sick and injured. The once-a-week dispensary opened every Saturday from 1 to 2 in the afternoon and was manned by one or more members of the Society for "the purpose of prescribing for the poor who will be furnished with medicine gratuitously."
The dispensary soon became an infirmary at the corner of Bay Street and Union Place in Stapleton, which Dr. Anderson and the Society named after Dr. Samuel R. Smith, an active member of the Society during the 1820s and '30s, who was known for treating the poor in his Tompkinsville home.
In 1863, a Ladies Auxiliary was organized by the Society and came to the aid of the struggling institution. By January, 1864, the women had collected $722 to that end. Ultimately, it was the auxiliary that undertook the management and financial support of the S.R Smith Infirmary.
The medical community of Staten Island soon realized the need for a hospital and on April 26, 1869, the Smith Infirmary was incorporated as the first private, non-profit hospital on the Island. By 1883, the number of beds had expanded, to reach a total of 18. The number of patients treated that year was 162.
Located in an old building in the Quarantine Station in Tompkinsville at the time, the facility began operating on a full-time basis, even though it received no income; all its patients were "charity cases."
In 1890, the Tompkinsville Infirmary began a long tenure on six acres of land on Castleton Avenue in New Brighton. Photos of "the Castle" from this period reveal an amazing "campus" of buildings set among sprawling lawns that stretched for what seemed blocks in front of the building. The four corner towers are capped with conical roofs, while the central portion of the building is graced with Flemish-stepped gable fronts, and a cupola originally was centered on the large roof.
By 1894, the infirmary's first training class for nurses was opened with a class of eight women. Prior to that, servants were used to oversee the everyday care of patients
Since the Smith Infirmary was Staten Island's only hospital at the time (St. Vincent's would not arrive until the 1903 purchase by the Sisters of Charity of the Garner Mansion on Castleton Avenue), it was difficult to persuade patients that they needed hospital care because they looked upon the hospital as a charity institution. Very few obstetrics patients went to a hospital back then. Many times a doctor would be called to travel a distance of six to 10 miles to attend to a woman in labor, only to find that she was not ready to deliver. He then would stay at the residence rather than attempt a return trip.
The age of horse-drawn carriages and country doctors ultimately came to an end and by 1917, the S.R. Smith Infirmary grew to become Staten Island Hospital.
The castle and adjoining buildings were sold to a developer in 1979 to be converted to condominiums. The castle was gutted and work on the newer high-rise portion of the project got under way. However, the development failed and the old Staten Island Hospital site is now in foreclosure.
In closing the 2003 column we wrote:
The sight of the now-derelict building, with its incredible history of philanthropy and care-giving, only saddens Islanders who see it and realize the potential that this marvelous building holds ... Hopefully, something can be done so that one day soon we will see displayed under the 120-year-old plus S.R. Smith Infirmary terracotta signage on the front of the structure a sign reading "Residences for Sale."
Imagine coming home each night to a castle.
Alas, after last month's demolition, this no longer can happen. Perhaps castles are only allowed to exist outside New York City?

Só gostava de deixar um esclarecimento - não sou fã de Pink Floyd, só gosto desta música que traduz o que sinto...
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Buzz slipped into the room. "Everybody wants to see you."
"By 'everybody' you mean….?"
"Um, the goblins. They insist on seeing the shining one."
"Aw crap." Ian threw up his hands. "What do we do?"
"It's OK. Let me think for a second….." I paced the room. "OK. Got it!" I said a small prayer to Pelor and walked out to see the goblins.
"Hi guys. It's me, Indira. The shining one." Silence. "I know I look like a dwarf right now. But it's OK. Pelor has a plan for me. Just like he has a plan for you."
"As Lingaub can attest, I was dead. Yeah, dead. A beholder killed me. But Buzz saved a little piece of me and my friend Ian was able to perform reincarnation on me. And now look at me. This body (I flexed my arms) is strong. This body (I thumped my chest) is sound. This body is a righteous vessel for Pelor's work!"
Without thinking about it I gave a Dwarven warcry. "<Thrund. Throng. Trogg!>" (which loosely translates into "Axes. Armies. Ale.")
Later, as we were packing up to do back down below, Buzz came in. "Your talk really did the trick. They are on fire to do Pelor's work. Although I think most of them are worried that when they die Pelor will bring them back as gnomes or something!"
A few minutes later Ian was at my elbow. "That was a rousing speech. Well done. Um, but, your Dwarvish is …. unconventional. You are not rolling your Rs properly. And there's a click that you should do with your tongue on hard Gs…." He paused to see how I was taking this. I smiled encouragingly. "Um, OK and a <thrund> is a crossbow. Not an axe. You should have said <az> that's the word for war axe."
"Ian! Leave her alone. She'll figure it out!" Sadi called from across the room.
"I think we should get in the habit of calling Indira 'He'. We might be able to use the dwarf body as a spy."
I turned to Acgar. "You've been thinking about this? Interesting idea, but didn't I just blow it by talking with the goblins?"
"Not necessarily. They are, after all goblins. They're not known for their acumen."

Death and Loss
It's natural to feel sad, depressed, anxious and angry when someone close to you dies. We can help you find support as you come to terms with your loss.
Whether you've lost a family member, a friend or a much-loved pet, you need space to grieve and come to terms with their death.
You'll feel a whole range of emotions including numbness, anger, sadness, depression, even guilt or relief. You might find yourself worrying about other people's health, or your own. These feelings are all quite normal. Working through grief takes time, and with the support of family and friends, most of us come through it.
Some people find that coming to terms with a death is a struggle, and life can feel hard to cope with.
Talking to someone about what's happened, and how you're feeling, can help you come to terms with a death or a loss. You could talk to a trusted friend, family member or teacher. If you are really struggling and things don't seem to be changing, talk to a GP.

So the European Championships start this week. No, not that one, the other one. I'm talking about athletics, not football. Five years ago someone came up with the crackpot plan to hold the Euros every two years and shoehorn them into the same season as the Olympics. It must have seemed like a good idea. So good, in fact, that 47 of the 50 members of the European Athletics Congress voted for it. Well, the three who didn't should take a bow, because right now that decision looks absolutely idiotic.
By the end of this year no one will be able to list five current European athletics champions, because in 30 days time when the Olympics starts everyone will have forgotten them already. A European title should earn an athlete a lot of credibility, not to mention money through sponsorship deals, but this year I don't think the public even knows it is going on.
And I don't imagine they'll be that bothered about watching it either. It's like parking an old banger next to a Ferrari. It's got four wheels, and it'll get you from A to B, but I know which one I'd rather be in.
This year the serious contenders for the Olympics, whether they are jumpers, runners, or throwers, probably won't want to risk going to the European Championships before the Games. The few top athletes who do go to Helsinki to take part aren't even going to be thinking about winning medals. Mo Farah has said he may go, depending on whether it fits with his schedule, and Chris Tomlinson has said he wants to use it as part of his preparation for the Olympics. Those guys aren't going to be worried whether they win or lose, all they will care about is what their performance tells them about the shape they are in.
I guarantee you there will be athletes who underperform in Helsinki, and the reason will be that they are still in heavy training and they are not looking to peak for another four weeks. Athletics is one of the few sports where people take their body and try to get it to the absolute pinnacle, rather than try to sustain it at a high level for a long period of time. In major championships athletes need to be so sharp and finely strung, like a cheese-grater wire, that there is no room for any slack whatsoever. It would be impossible to peak for the European Championships, the Olympic trials, and the Olympic Games in the space of a season, never mind doing it in a month.
The other top athletes who go will be the ones who finished in the top two at the trials this weekend but still need the Olympic 'A' qualifying standard. Well, that's going to be awkward. What do they do?
Do they blast the first round, get the 'A' standard, then pull out because they don't want to risk injury running three rounds in four days? From an athlete's point of view that would be the right move.
But you can't pull out for no reason, because you've deprived someone else of the chance to be there and you'll be letting down your country and your team.
As for all the other competitors, apart from maybe one or two juniors who are just happy to get the experience, they will all be gutted to have missed out on Olympic selection. They will have had only a week to recover after the trials this weekend, which isn't anything like enough and they'll be on such a downer that there's no chance they'll be able to pick themselves up again for the Europeans.
So there are going to be plenty of long faces around the stadium. Yes, they'll be representing their country at a major championships but no, they won't want to be there. Because give them half a chance to pull out and go to the Olympics instead and they'll be in such a hurry to say yes that they'll bite your hand off.
The shame of it is that the European Championships are being devalued by being held so close to the Olympics. And it used to be a great competition, as plenty of athletes and fans will tell you.
It still annoys me that I never got to compete at one when I was fit, because in my event the Europeans had such a strong field – the likes of Roman Sebrle and Tomas Dvorak from the Czech Republic, and the Estonian Erki Nool, some of the greatest decathletes in history. And events where the competition wasn't so strong – like the sprints – would be generally be balanced out by a tougher field in the Commonwealth Games, which would always fall in the same season.
The saddest thing is that the field in Helsinki is going to be so small and so weak, that there is a great chance the British team could come home with three or four champions. But they're not going to get any recognition for it, only a shrug and a "so what?"

When you are pregnant with your first child, shit is GOOD.
You are cared for and you have time to rest and literally contemplate your navel.
Everyone is oooohing and aaahhhing and so damn invested.
Same when you have one of those short term illnesses, peeps will be bringing you casseroles and flowers and offering to mop your floors and straighten your pillows and OMG IF YOU ARE IN THE HOSPITAL, bitches will pick your kids up from school and everything.
Then you get pregnant with your second child and people are still a little bit interested, but you are surprised that they are not offering to rub your belly like before and no fucker wants to babysit your other kiddo so you can just close your eyes FOR JUST ONE SECOND let alone rub some oil in your belly or some shit. What happened?
Kinda like if your short term illness drags on for like, I dunno, a couple of weeks… or say a month or so. Peeps be saying shouldn't you be better now, or you run out of casseroles or they forget that they promised to pick up your kids. Shit like that.
And then you get to your 9th kid and people have OPINIONS, even if you have all the money in the world and a pelvic floor that snaps back like a trampoline. Judgemental fuckers believe they have the right to tell you every. single. one. of them in GREAT DETAIL too.
It is worse when you have a chronic illness. After a month or so the 'how you goings?' turn into 'what are you doing to help yourself's and the casseroles turn into 'are you looking after your family?' and there are a lot of eye rollings and gradual disappearances.
Other people get very angry or 'disappointed' when they try and help and their form of help is underappreciated. Like when they send you links to miracle cures that you don't immediately spend your limited income on, or when, you try to explain that that particular item when ingested by someone like me is very very harmful given the many medications I take, the response is 'don't take the medications then. Do you want to get better?'
Or my personal favourite 'are you even TRYING to help yourself?'
It seems that when you live with a chronic illness you have to take the tiny crumbs of kindness dropped by others and treat them like precious gems. Polish them until they are gleaming and then hand them back to their previous owner in the hope that they will see their worth and toss you some more.
I mean shit, what else do I have to do… I am just sitting here on my fat arse doing nothing anyway.

As China is developing and more and more students are interested in coming to China, the levels of support required by students is changing. We understand that sometimes it can be more difficult and stressful than expected when trying to relocate to China; however, we also understand that sometimes students don't require the full package support provided by CSA. For those students who prefer just a bit of assistance with a particular aspect of their program, we also want to make sure you have the backup needed – regardless of where you may need the support. Enter... CSA's living in China support packages (to the rescue!).
If you opt to forego our full package assistance for studying Chinese in China (you study abroad rockstar, you!), you can also select our services à la carte. There are 3 different options to choose from:
- Application Only (US$150) - Let us help you complete and turn in your Chinese university application!
- Help On Arrival (US$500) - Ease into the transition of moving to China with this support package.
- Find An Apartment (US$500) - Because actually finding a place to live and managing the process in China can be a handful.

The world is fast running out of fossil fuels and it is up to us to find ways of using alternate energies or to maximize the usage of what we have in our homes and work places. That way we can eventually end the usage of non-renewable resources and move on to a cleaner, greener energy economy.
Here are some ways you can turn your house into a fully functional, energy efficient place:
Repairs and Reconstruction
One of the commonest ways that energy is wasted is through broken equipment. Old toasters that take an extra-long time to heat up, faulty wiring that keep shorting and sparking, windows that are grimy and don't let in enough light etc. are all examples of energy wastage. See to it that you call a professional in to do skylights Gold Coast repairs or elsewhere to brighten up the place and reduce the number of lights you need to leave on; fix the wiring so it works with maximum efficiency and prevent shortages; and reconstruct whatever you can so that everything works just as it should.
Update and Upgrade
Similar to repairs and replacements, you have to upgrade and update anything that is too old to work to its full potential. Refrigerators for instance always stop working at maximum efficiency after a couple of years – and that's if it had excellent care and service in the first place. There are newer, better versions coming out every day so it's best to upgrade to the latest version since some even have the 'inverter' function which allows the fridge to reverse its current flow once it' cooled down enough. Other things can be updated to match the environment like a skylight Northern Rivers has enough light throughout the year for you to invest in a good one in order to reduce your electricity usage during the day.
Become Eco-Friendly
While the down payments are still rather horrifying, you could negotiate a loan with a bank or something in order to make your house run on alternate energy if you are serious about maximizing efficiency. Unlike energy culled from non-renewable sources, wind energy, solar energy and others have little to no wastage or by product. Heat, specifically is not produced in the process which means that it is much more efficient. You will also save on utility payments since it provides renewable energy sources and are free of charge and used directly by you.
These are only a few things that can be done but try to incorporate even one these into your life and you will notice dramatic improvements in the quality and look of your home.

Even The New Yorker's turned on Alec Baldwin.
In its new issue, Paul Rudnick imagines the "30 Rock" star's preschool report card.
"Alec is a generous and caring playmate, although during one game of tag, at recess, he claimed that Jimmy Peterson had not, in fact, tagged him, and Alec asked me to call in both a police officer and an attorney," he writes as a teacher.
"When the school photographer arrived to take our annual class picture, Alec threw paint on him, broke a tambourine over his head, and kicked him in the groin, claiming that the photographer had invaded his personal space and had also shot him from the wrong side."

Princess Fumi Hancock is one of those special personalities you come across only once in a while. She is a talented writer, a movie-maker, and hosts a very popular Internet chat show called "The Princess in Surburbia." I have the honor of sharing an interview with her to mark a very special one year anniversary of "The Princess in Surburbia." Her career goes deep into the heart of the entertainment industry with a bestselling book called "The Adventures of Jewel Cardwell" and a forthcoming movie called "Of Sentimental Value." She is also releasing her new book "Of Sentimental Value" soon. We have also learnt that she is up for several awards in her capacity as a movie maker– Fumi is currently winning the race to win "Favorite Screenwriter," and her upcoming movie is likely to win "Favorite Trailer/ Short Movie" at the African NAFCA… What a career! Don't forget to vote for her and her movie "Of Sentimental Value!"
Fumi, can I start by asking why you started your Internet show?
On Nov. 16, 2012, my YA Fantasy novel, The Adventures of Jewel Cardwell, became Amazon's Teens-Horrors Bestseller. This prompted solicitations from many reviewers, bloggers and readers. As my royal background was unveiled to them, they wanted to know more! They asked me for a vehicle where they could see me in my natural habitat. Then came the vision to create an online TV show–The Princess in Suburbia–where my fans are invited to snicker or cry as I share my life story & dish out spicy nuggets of wisdom on life, love, family, business & everything in between!
What really inspired you to reach out to an Internet audience?
As a writer, you cannot ignore the electronic / Internet age. When I launched my book, I did a virtual tour, which was incredibly successful. My readers are on the Internet, and the easiest and quickest way to reach them is through the Internet.
What has been your most exciting moment as host of "The Princess In Surburbia?"
Just the opportunity to meet incredible people whom I have invited as guests on my show. More importantly, guests trust me with their stories and rely on me to share their point of view in an authentic way.
How do you juggle such a high octane career? Writer, movie-maker and host?
Oh, my… sometimes I can't figure it out. Here is what I know: when you are doing what you love, time goes by very fast … you hit challenges, but you quickly pull yourself and keep going. My passion for the three fuels me on a daily basis.
How do you know what your audience wants to see?
I talk with my audience. I do not stand aloof, but through my social media outlets, I often reach out to them. Their thoughts matter to me, and they have been known to steer me in the right direction Take this upcoming movie–Of Sentimental Value. I put together a focus team. Thanks to them, I can safely say we have ended up with a great movie. I take this time to thank all who have carried us with their support. For those who have not watched the trailer for the novel and movie, take a look.
How do you choose guests? Is it hard to get good guests?
While many talk show hosts may say it is challenging finding guests, I have not encountered that yet. Those I have invited have been incredibly generous with their time, and I am very grateful for that. My episodic themes pick my guests. Once I know the burning question for the segment, then we go looking for guests who fit that bill.
Do you ever get nervous hosting your own show?
I am a firm believer that you never get to a point where you are no longer nervous. This is a healthy nervousness as it allows me to push the envelope.
How often do you have to do re-takes of a scene?
I ad lib a lot, so I often just tape and be myself, then let the chips fall where then may. Of course, there have been some episodes where I have had to retake more than twice.
Which episode is your favorite and why?
There was an episode where my friend and I talked about Oprah and her friend Gayle. We were both very free with our thoughts and just allowed the audience into my world. Here is one of the episodes. http://youtu.be/3Vd0Goed0AE
What are you doing to celebrate your one year anniversary?
One year of being on the Internet, but over 10 years in the TV industry. It is obvious my readers love to enter my world… I'm thinking of releasing some tapes from my vault. This footage has not been seen anywhere. I will also be giving away copies of my novel, The Adventures of Jewel Cardwell. Oh, by the way, selected people will be getting copies of the upcoming novel Of Sentimental Value. Get ready.
Do you think you will ever become bored of hosting your show?
Hosting this show is part of me… who I am. I can't imagine being bored. So much to talk about.
