FRESHKILLS – SELF-RELEASED, SELF-TITLED ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 2nd!
Freshkills – yes, one word – are a five-piece tour guide to the lives, awkward conversations and head games that play out deep into the night in New York City's dark bars and messy bedrooms. Each protagonist is motivated by sordid appetites, like moths attracted to blackness. Each song has the sound and feel of a mini-apocalypse.
The band comprises of vocalist Zachary Lipez, guitarists Johnny Rauberts and Timothy Murray, bassist Mitchell Jordan and drummer Jim Paradise. Upon listening, influences that spring to mind are Nation of Ulysses and Drive Like Jehu, as the band combines the lyrical flair of the former and the chops of the latter. Lipez's red-lining vocals are infused with paranoia, aggravation and twisted vulnerability. The rhythms – though rarely slow – are controlled, ominous and sometimes hypnotic. The twin-guitar work is droning and breathtaking, and leads are rare.
Freshkills' first album, the poetic, jarring, 'Creeps and Lovers' (Arclight Records 2006) , was produced by NYC hardcore stalwart Joel Hamilton and earned rave reviews from 'scene-approved' publications such as Vice (8.5 out of 10) and Punk Planet ("refreshing … idiosyncratic"). The band recently completed their second, self-released and self-titled album, produced by Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, The Locust, Two Gallants). Emphasizing hooks and streamlined song structures, without sacrificing any of their dissonance, dark sarcasm, or cutting social commentary, the result is brand new material that is immediate, unsettling and lasting.
Freshkills have performed live alongside Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Fiery Furnaces, The Giraffes, Agent Orange, Kid Congo, Foreign Islands, Bellmer Dolls, Chinese Stars, Stalkers, Bad Wizard, Made Out Of Babies, Demander and a wealth of other prominent acts. They will be embarking on an extensive tour in support of the new album, with upcoming shows in NYC and Brooklyn and across the States this fall.
"They nail all the cool-kid pre-reqs so well: jittery punk-fuzz guitars, baroque vocals, barely decipherable lyrics, natty outfits. If that doesn't make you totally hate them, well then, you'll probably love them." Time Out New York
"Thunderous sexy bass over math-y rhythms and a saucy twin-guitar attack… Good stuff!!!" Village Voice
"Brimming with turmoil and anger while keeping hold of a hip swaggering shake. This Brooklyn Quintet is the s**t!" Ghetto Blaster
"Hours of practice, a dedication to songwriting, and a sizeable budget. These are all things that are less important to a good record than having a cool older brother – someone to break your Collective Soul tapes over your stupid head, as the older brothers of the Freshkills clearly did, and say "Hey you stupid idiot, here is Drive Like Jehu, Jesus Lizard, and Nation of Ulysses. Now quit being such a herb". Vice

Want to know how to stop porn addiction?Step one is don't watch the Super Bowl. Sadly, the first place to begin in how to stop porn addiction is with the biggest sporting event of the year.
The number of overly sexual commercials that ran during the 2012 Super Bowl shocked me. And I must qualify myself as not being a prude, and very accustomed to getting exposed sexually suggestive images when watching sporting events on TV. This Super Bowl, however, took it to a whole other level and just made it more difficult for men who wonder how to stop porn addiction.
As a professional counselor who helps men learn how to stop porn addiction, I make this prediction -- more men are struggling to stop porn addiction because they watched the Super Bowl.
Here's some of the highlights of what men watching were exposed to:
- Toyota had a commercial with 7 bikini wearing women posing as living room furniture.
- Teleflora ran an advertisement with a supermodel sexually rolling stockings up her leg and talking seductively to the men watching.
- Fiat's ad had a beautiful woman seducing a man by dropping whipping cream on to her cleavage.
- GoDaddy.com, never to be out done, had Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels dressed in leather skirt and pants writing on the body of a nude super model.
The GoDaddy.com commercial ends with the announcer telling viewers to "see a lot more now at GoDaddy.com." Another GoDaddy.com Super Bowl commercial featured Danica again sexually dressed and telling two young men that at GoDaddy.com you can "make your business and personal internet dreams come true." Both gave direct instruction to go online and look at sexual images – the last thing a guy needs to hear if he's wrestling with how to stop porn addiction.
Every man who saw these ads had his brain receive visual stimuli that was pleasing. When the brain gets this, it wants more. Unfortunately, most guys were not even aware this was happening and how they were being prepped to struggle with porn addiction in the coming days (Learn more about Why Men Watch Porn).
Seeing these commercials was a recipe for failure if you were looking to stop porn addiction:
Sexual Images + Brain Reward + Verbal Instruction how to get more = Porn Addiction
What's a guy to do? Here's the first 2 steps in how to stop porn addiction:
- Wake up and become aware of all the ways your brain is being exposed to sexually suggestive images.
- Start to stop yourself from looking at the sexual images you can stop.
These first 2 steps may seem really basic and easy, but when you begin to realize how much sexual images you're seeing you'll discover that they're not. Below are some other articles on how to stop porn addiction that will help you learn more -- take a look.

JC MEN'S BASKETBALL: Chaps fail to keep pace with deep Howard squad
BIG SPRING -- Howard College men's basketball coach Scott Raines admires the job that Jordan Dreiling is doing in his first year as the Midland College coach.
Dreiling just wishes he had more players step up like Raines is having this season for the No. 24 Hawks.
On Thursday night, the Hawks not only played good defense but had four players score in double figure in a 77-61 victory over the Chaparrals in a Western Junior College Athletic Conference game at the Dorothy Garrett Coliseum.
"I was really pleased with our guys," Raines said. "It was kind of a workmanlike effort against a Midland team with a lot of pride. I thought they battled all the way to the end. I know (Dreiling's) feeling a little out-manned with different things that's affected them this year, but I think he's doing one of the better jobs in the league. They're competing."
Even though Howard College may be void of a super star, Raines knows his team is well balanced and plays very well together.
"I don't know if we have a Jae Crowder, Cameron Forte, Charles Burgess -- that run of guys that we've had come through here, but we have to be really hard to scout for other teams," Raines said. "We can run eight or nine guys out there that are all capable of making shots. I think our guys do a good job of playing that way. We take care of the ball and we cheer for each other."
David Joseph and Jalin Barnes each had 15 points to lead Howard (19-4, 7-2), Eric Weary Jr. had 11 points and 11 rebounds, and Niels Buschoten added 11 points.
The Chaps (10-11, 2-6) were led by sophomore forward Kevin Thomas, who continued his standout play with a game-high 16 points and 15 rebounds, while Domonique Bull and Cory Scott each added 10.
But MC shot just 37.9 percent from the floor and had 18 turnovers in the game.
"I think we missed easy shots and I thought it was more about lack of focus than lack of effort," Dreiling said. "They're working hard and we just have to continue to get better to keep ourselves in the game. We've got to finish shots. We're getting the looks that we want two, three, four times in a row, but we're just not finishing the shots."
After falling behind by as many as 12 points in the first half, the Chaps fought back and cut it to 31-28 late in the period. But Howard answered with a 7-0 run to close the half and the Chaps never got much closer.
It didn't help that MC's starting point guard Darren Williams left the game for more than six minutes in first half with an injured ankle and was hobbled for the rest of the game.
Dreiling said he didn't know the status of Williams' ankle but added he is one player that the Chaps need to step up their game.
"We need a point guard to step up," Dreiling said. "And he knows that, and Daniel Hernandez knows that. We need a guy who's making the right decisions on the floor and is a leader. We don't have a leader right now. (Thomas) is leading by example but we need a vocal leader as well."
The Chaps look to start turning things around with a home game against a Clarendon College team that lost a close game to Odessa College, 87-82, on Thursday.

- Jules
- A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I am hoping to share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce always carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

SFJazz Collective turns 10
A collection of eight individual headliners with no recognized leader, SFJazz Collective makes decisions by consensus.
Somehow, they've never had a shutdown.
Considered one of the world's leading jazz bands, the group celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with a special tour that brings it to the Mondavi Center's Jackson Hall on Wednesday.
The collective is the brainchild of SFJazz Executive Director Randall Kline, who has called it "a wild experiment gone right."
While the group has undergone numerous personnel changes over the years, it has maintained its signature identity and mission of simultaneously honoring the tradition and history of jazz while taking the art form forward.
Each year, the band creates arrangements of classic music from a jazz composer, with each band member choosing a tune to reinterpret. Those composers have included Ornette Coleman (2004), John Coltrane (2005), Herbie Hancock (2006), Thelonious Monk (2007), Wayne Shorter (2008), McCoy Tyner (2009), Horace Silver (2010), Stevie Wonder (2011-12), and Chick Corea (2013). Members also write original compositions for the collective.
At Wednesday's anniversary show, the band plans to play songs and arrangements from previous years.
In addition to performing live, the collective also conducts significant outreach and interaction with young musicians. An offshoot of the collective is the Mondavi Center High School SFJazz All-Stars, an eight-person ensemble of the Sacramento region's best high school musicians directed by Mike McMullen. This group will give a free concert at 6:30 p.m. in the Corin Courtyard before the collective's performance Wednesday.
The collective now boasts an international personality with Puerto Rico's Miguel Zenón (the group's last remaining original member) on alto saxophone and David Sánchez on tenor saxophone, Israel's Avishai Cohen on trumpet, Venezuela's Edward Simon on piano, New Zealand's Matt Penman on bass, and Americans Robin Eubanks on trombone, Warren Wolf on vibraphone and Obed Calvaire on drums.
Cohen, the Down Beat Rising Star of 2012, began guesting with the collective in 2007, taking over some dates for Dave Douglas, who had other commitments. Born and raised in Tel Aviv, Cohen officially joined the group in 2010. The band has added a pianist, drummer, tenor sax and vibes players since Cohen joined full time.
"A big factor besides being a great player is (finding) someone who can really read music well, because the arrangements sometimes become very specific and very articulated," Cohen said of adding new members. "You have to trust (the musician) to be able to perform everything and fit in with the right vibe, personally and musically."
Cohen said the band tends to become very close, and the personalities of individual members figure in when creating original compositions.
"When I'm writing, I don't just write for an alto, I write for Miguel," Cohen said. "I don't just write for a piano, I write for Edward. It's very personal, but it's a big advantage. We don't just arrange the music randomly."
Cohen said the current tour's program of songs and arrangements from previous years made the rehearsal period easier for the band.
"It's very different rehearsing stuff that's already been written and recorded as opposed to stuff that is (being) played for the first time," Cohen said. "You have to make up the music – there's always a lot of changes going on and once you hear it played, you realize things that you didn't realize before. You're searching to make the composition the best, and that takes a lot of time. Every day after rehearsal, you go back with your arrangement or your composition and revisit it and you work on it."
As the music for this tour had already been worked out, the band was ready to hit the road earlier than usual (though it's still working through its allotted rehearsal time). This year, the band has 20 tunes in its book to choose from for each concert instead of the usual 16. It won't play all of them at each show, but it could.
"We try to make the best set we can to make a good concert, and that's hard to put together because you want everyone to be featured and different music to be heard," Cohen said.
Cohen said that despite band members' individual commitment to families and careers, they all continually push the group to grow and develop.
"Every year we try to figure out again and again – what is this band? What should it be?" Cohen said. "Should it be anything specific? Should it be similar to what it was last year, or something else?
"The answer is still unknown, in a way."
When: 8 p.m. Wednesday
Where: UC Davis, Mondavi Center, Jackson Hall
Tickets: $21-$42

"Out of the Fog," Friend, Sept. 2002, 32
Out of the Fog
A true story
Stand by your conscience, your honor, your faith (Children's Songbook, page 158).
Why was it that whenever Bobby asked his dad to let him have a bit of fun on the weekend, it always had to turn into an argument about Church standards? All he wanted to do was go on a fishing trip with his friend Jason. But Dad wouldn't let him go unless Jason's folks could bring him back in time for church on Sunday.
"Just tell him that you believe in keeping the Sabbath Day holy," his dad suggested with a smile.
"Dad! I can't tell Jason that!" Bobby declared. "He'll think I'm a loser!"
Dad folded the newspaper he was reading and sat quietly for a moment considering his next words. "Son, you have to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything."
Bobby didn't like it when his father talked in clichés. They were just sayings that were passed from person to person until they lost all meaning. Anyway, he didn't understand what the big deal was. He was just going to spend the weekend with Jason and his family. He'd only miss church that one Sunday. I'll just call Dad Sunday morning and tell him I can't make it home in time for church, he decided.
"OK, Dad," Bobby said. "Whatever you say."
"Good decision, Son." Dad thumped Bobby on the arm as he left the room.
Bobby felt a bit like a worm dangling on a hook, but he pushed the uncomfortable feeling to the back of his mind as he hurried to stuff a few things in his backpack. A whole weekend fishing! Yes! he thought.
The phone call to his dad Sunday morning brought that wriggling-worm feeling back again, but the sun was shining and the fish were biting. He shook the sound of his father's disappointment out of his head and ran outside to join Jason.
Blue Lake shimmered like a saucer filled with diamonds. Bobby hoisted his end of the canoe off his shoulder and helped Jason maneuver it into the water. They soon were stroking toward the middle of the lake. A hawk soared overhead, then dove toward the lake. Its claws struck the water, thrusting beneath the surface. Its great wings beat soundlessly as it struggled to rise with a silver fish in its grasp.
"Wow! I wish I could fish like that!" Jason exclaimed.
The boys reeled in a couple of bite-size brookies, but they unhooked them and carefully placed them back in the water. "You guys need to grow up a bit before you can come home with us!" Bobby said.
Soon one of them reeled in a rainbow trout that would span a frying pan. Concentrating on their fishing, they didn't notice the white wisps gathering near the shore until the first frigid fingers of fog darted down the necks of their jackets. By the time they'd secured their fishing poles and picked up their paddles, Bobby noticed that Jason was only a shadow at the other end of the canoe.
"Which way?" Bobby asked, dipping his paddle into the water.
"I don't know. I can't see the land." Jason's voice was muffled, as if he was fading away in the fog that engulfed them.
"Well, let's just paddle straight. We'll have to hit the shore sometime," Bobby said.
They paddled and paddled, but caught no sign of land.
"I think we're going in circles." Jason's voice sounded small.
The fog thickened around them like a quilt, swallowing them in its thick cottony folds. There were snags in the lake, hidden roots of trees that could grab a canoe and hold it fast. There were rocks, too—the jagged kind that could bite a hole right out of a boat. Though he could see none of these dangers, Bobby felt them lurking nearby, waiting for them to paddle the wrong way. Sooner or later, they would hit something. Sooner or later, they'd feel cold water rush into the bottom of the boat, feel the suck and drag of the lake pulling them down. …
Bobby's teeth started to chatter, and he thrust a hand against his chin to stop the noise. He could not let his fears take over. He grasped his paddle tighter. What would Dad do in this situation? When he thought of his dad, the uncomfortable feeling he'd had earlier came back. Dad wouldn't be out in the middle of the lake on Sunday morning. He'd be in church, keeping the Sabbath holy.
"Bobby? What are we going to do?" Jason's voice sounded high and jiggly.
Bobby's head felt as fuzzy as the mist, but after a minute a bit of light broke through. If his dad had been in this situation, he'd stand up for what he believed in. He would pray. Taking a deep breath, Bobby said, "I think we need to pray."
Jason grunted. Bobby wasn't sure if he was agreeing or just waiting until later to call him a loser. Right now, that didn't seem to matter.
"Heavenly Father, I guess I'm not exactly where I should be right now," Bobby whispered, "and I'm sorry about that. But we really need your help. Please help us find the way back to the shore. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
Bobby opened his eyes, hoping for a miracle, but the fog did not lift. Instead, a voice that sounded a lot like Dad's said two words, "Stand up."
Yeah, I get it, Bobby thought. Stand up for what you believe in, and I will, I promise. But what about right now?
"Stand up," the voice was more insistent.
Stand up? In a canoe? That was the last thing he wanted to do. Standing up in a canoe would probably get him a good dunking in the cold lake. But he couldn't shake the certainty in that voice.
"Uh, Jason?"
"I'm going to stand up for a second."
"Are you nuts?" Jason must have started forward in his seat, because the canoe rocked. "Do you want us to end up at the bottom of the lake?"
"No, but I think the answer to my prayer is to stand up."
"That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Do you really believe in that prayer stuff?"
Bobby took a deep breath. "Yes," he said. "I really do."
He stood slowly, keeping his feet spread evenly on either side of the canoe bottom. As he rose, his head broke through the fog. He blinked, shading his eyes. He couldn't believe it. The fog came only to his chest. Above the fog, the day still shone bright and clear. Off to his left, he could see the spot where they'd launched the canoe.
For the first time, Bobby really understood what his father had been trying to tell him. When you stand up for what you believe in, you come out into the light and everything becomes really clear.
He sat back down. "Pull right," he said. "We're going home."
[Stand Tall]
"A man of wisdom often offered this simple piece of advice: 'David, stand tall.' My dad did not expect that I would add inches to my stature or rise up on my tiptoes. He meant that I should be courageous in my decision, not compromising principles, not violating spiritual values, and not shrinking from responsibility. When I have followed his advice, life has been very good. When I have failed to stand tall, life has usually been unpleasant."
Bishop H. David Burton
Presiding Bishop
(Ensign, November 2001, page 65.)

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

This spring, veteran Washington weathercaster Bob Ryan moved from Channel 4 (WRC-TV) to Channel 7 (WJLA-TV). The move might have seemed like a bombshell to D.C. viewers: after all, Ryan had been at WRC for a full three decades. But his arrival in D.C. back in 1980 was a major event of its own, with implications for both local and national weathercasting. Ryan came onto the Washington scene as part of an unusual job switch with none other than Willard Scott, who was a fixture in the D.C. media world before gaining national fame on NBC's "Today" show. I've blogged about the Scott-Ryan switcheroo here, at the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang.

The air, and the airwaves, heat up4 08 2010
Last winter, as unprecedented snowfall buried the mid-Atlantic states and Britain shivered through its worst winter in 30 years, journalists began to take a closer look at how TV weather covers, or doesn't cover, climate change. That flurry of coverage faded by spring. Now, with a ten-minute segment that aired on 17 July, the "Dateline" series on Australia's SBS network has joined the fray—just as both Moscow and Washington are enduring their hottest summers ever recorded, with New York not far behind.

Who else—but the weatherman?25 03 2010
A few months ago, a friend of mine discovered an intriguing animation package from the 1950s, posted on YouTube by way of Bedazzled.
It's a series of clips, each about 25 seconds long, that describe various types of weather conditions in general terms: "overcast and warmer," "fair with increasing clouds," "snow and cold," etc.
Each clip is accompanied by a variation of the series' insanely catchy theme song, which always ends with the question, "Who else—but the weatherman?"
The idea was apparently for local TV stations to buy the full set of clips, then pick a weather-apropos segment each day to insert into their programming, either on newscasts (perhaps in lieu of an actual weatherperson?) or at other times of the day. I wondered about the clips' heritage until today, when I found a short post about the clips on Cartoonbrew.com. Turns out they were produced around 1956–57 by a Miami-based animation studio, Soundac, that also produced the first color cartoon for TV. The style is unmistakably Cartoon Modern, which was omnipresent on early TV ads.
That infectious theme song keeps pulling me back, but I also love the weatherman himself—a triangular figure with umbrella in hand and anemometer/wind vane on his head—and the riot of typographic styles. Well worth a peek.

Oakland man charged with mailing 'anthrax' letter
OAKLAND – An Oakland man appeared in federal court Friday on charges he mailed an envelope containing white powder and a threatening letter to U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft during last year's anthrax scare.
Dean Wilber, 33, was arrested Thursday at his home. He is charged with threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction — anthrax — after allegedly mailing the letter from Wyoming while on a cross-country bus trip.
The letter prosecutors allege Wilber sent caused an anthrax scare at a Cheyenne, Wyo. post office, where it burst during processing. Workers at the facility were treated with antibiotics in case the substance contained real anthrax, as several letters to government officials did.
The powder turned out to be talcum, but federal authorities and U.S. Postal Service officials saw no joke in the hoax.
"It was traumatic. There was a natural fear that this was the real thing," said Carol Rookstool, Cheyenne's postmaster. "We waited a full 36 hours until the tests were absolutely accurate."
Prosecutors say Wilber was traveling from Maryland to the San Francisco Bay area on Dec. 17 when he mailed the letter from Laramie, Wyo. Wilber was easy to track down because he signed his name, Rookstool said.
Wilber was being held without bail at county jail in Dublin. He was expected to be transferred to Wyoming early next week for an arraignment, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Cheyenne.

The station's sensitive and sympathetic £60m restoration has won the inaugural Crossrail Award for Urban Heritage, presented by Sir Peter Hendy, Commissioner of Transport for London at the National Railway Heritage Awards.
The brand-new Urban Heritage Award recognised what the judging panel called "the thorough restoration of the Porte Cochere and other work at Nottingham station," and is shared by the Nottingham Station project partners – Nottingham City Council, Network Rail and East Midlands Trains.
David Horne, Managing Director for East Midlands Trains, said: "The Urban Heritage Award is fitting recognition of the hard work, dedication and skill of many people who helped to deliver this world-class transport hub in the heart of Nottingham.
"The new Nottingham station offers much-improved facilities for passengers, including integrated transport options, a new range of shops and cafes as well as the stunning restoration of the station's Edwardian frontage.
"We have already received plenty of positive feedback from our passengers about the new Nottingham station and we look forward to it continuing to serve the city for generations to come."
Councillor Jane Urquhart, the City Council's Portfolio Holder for Planning and Transportation, said: "This is a great accolade for the station redevelopment and brings wider recognition to what we are aiming for in creating a world-class transport hub with the kind of connectivity other cities envy."
The recent official opening of Nottingham's restored and improved station signals the delivery of a vital part of the city's £1.5 billion-plus infrastructure improvements. Now these improvements are beginning to show their worth to the city, stimulating wider developments destined to boost jobs and growth.
Nottingham's multiple transport improvements, including the £60m station restoration and the £570m NET tram extension opening next year, are proving to be a catalyst for development, with the area around the station fast becoming a hot spot as developers have taken note.
"The station area has become a magnet for both commercial and residential schemes, including flats and student accommodation, said Councillor Urquhart. "The restored, improved station and the tram extension are sending out the message – 'property owners, here's your opportunity.'"
The transport improvements also include:
Regeneration is now a priority for landowners and developers all around the station in the Southern Gateway area, broadly stretching from the Broadmarsh Centre to The Meadows – "great news for jobs and growth," said Councillor Urquhart.
The wider picture beyond the station includes
"The proposed office developments will together form a new mini business district on the doorstep of the city centre. Properties and development sites around the station which have been only marginally viable for years are seeing their prospects transformed," said Councillor Urquhart.
"The station's 'constructive conservation', restoring its Edwardian former glories whilst ensuring that its features function efficiently today, is proving to be a powerful catalyst for high-quality development."
Research by English Heritage revealed the greater historical significance of Nottingham Station as a building, resulting in a better understanding of how to adapt and restore it for modern needs. Uniquely for a UK station, Nottingham's had been modelled on Grand Central Station, New York, and further influenced by New York's long-demolished Penn Station.
Recognising the design as a rarity of national importance saw English Heritage lift the station's listed building status from Grade II to the much rarer Grade II Star, while the Railway Heritage Trust invested £265,000 in the restoration.
And as the 7m visitors and commuters who use Nottingham Station each year enjoy the much-improved gateway to the city, a large proportion access it via Carrington Street, where the heritage shop front improvements will help reconnect the station to the city centre.
City visitors also have the prospect of the £24m scheme to develop Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery as a world-class heritage attraction. This scheme is already earmarked for £12.9m of Heritage Lottery funding and will bring in a projected 400,000 visitors a year, doubling the current number, with a projected additional visitor spend of £77m over the next 10 years.
Said Councillor Urquhart: "The prospects for Nottingham have never been more exciting than they are now, not only for future growth and employment but also for the visual appeal that will be evident to every visitor and anyone who lives or works in the city.
"And of course, none of this would have been possible without the £12m cash injection from the Workplace Parking Levy which attracted further funding to redevelop the station. We really have something to celebrate here, a world-class integrated transport hub is being created that opens up Nottingham to greater prosperity while at the same time displaying our architectural heritage to the benefit of everyone who lives here or comes here."

The title of the blog is inspired by Ricky Martin's 1999 hit, Livin' La Vida Loca (Livin' the Crazy Life) – somehow it seems fitting. Conveniently enough, 'roca', the Spanish word for rock, rhymes with 'loca', Spanish for crazy,…hmmm…coincidence? You decide, as we cling to cliffs and dangle from our digits, bouncing through South America, livin' la vida roca (livin' the rock life).

Sao Luiz do Puruna, Brazil
Camping under a statue of Cristo should have given us protection. But the locals with their high power sound system and terrible Brazilan techno music drove us away after a few 3am nights. We moved 2km down the road and camped in a farmer's field full of pecking chickens and playful puppies. We could still just hear their music from the farmer's field, but not loud enough to keep us awake.
We had 5 big drive days to cover the huge distances from central Argentinea to Brazil. The country side gradually got wetter from the dry Argentinian plains into rich tropical forests of Brazil. The weather turned from cool dry to hot and sweaty. This also meant the arrival of mosquites, which had been blissfully absent until now.
The local climbing was a bit more friendly, with good sandstone sports climbing across all the grades from easy to impossible. I found the rock quite farmiliar to the local Sydney sandstone while other hot rockers found it challenging. Being a small compact sports crag, it was very social climbing as everyone was climbing together, each trying harder routes and all giving vocal support to push the grades.
See all the action in the following video.

I've yet to do a large-scale link building project – one that involves emailing hundreds of people and asking for links.
The tedium of contacting all these folks site by site daunts me, and yet I know it's a great way to get the word out, and yet another of the ways that PR and SEO have merged… especially if your out reach emails are strong introductions buy estrace for your site.
Anyways, in talking with a great friend and colleague yesterday he described his recent large-scale link building efforts and said he buy lady era weeded out sites with PRs under 4 (also, that sites with a PR of 4 were more likely to give links for his highly niche client site).
My link building efforts tend towards the community involvement and media (articles, blog posts, etc) distribution, and as I want to really blow some of my clients out of the water I decided that I'm going to do some seriously tedious but potentially valuable linking campaigns.
So Aaron Wall dropped a nice tidbit that comes right on time for me – I hope it helps you in your efforts as well when it comes to identifying large numbers of folks who are potential link partners: cache date.
In cialis philippines. comments Wall clarified what he determines by the cache date:
* general health of a site you own
* general site of a health you are thinking of buying
* general health of a site you have the ability to publish content on
* trustworthiness of a link source
It is this last Viagra Jelly cheapest purpose that I'll bring up with my buddy who's going to scrape scrape scrape (and then scrub a little too I hope me up a huge pile of urls and email addys so I can start going "door to door" more effectively for my clients.
Most SEMs don't believe that Eriacta buy online, purchase dapoxetine. Google actually uses PageRank. I think that if it's all you have you should use it, but hey, it's not all you have (and really there are tons of factors besides even cache date you should be thinking about when you conduct link building campaigns… I'm sure Fishkin has a post on this somewhere and I'll poke around for it for you .
Wall linked to, and so will I, a tool from Boykin called the Cool Cache SEO Tool!
And while you're at it link builders, check out Making your content Del.icio.us by Mr. Patel.
And then quit thinking about marketing with me for a moment and meditate on the reason many Americans had the day off today… Martin Luther King, Jr.: "I Have a Dream" (20 minute video of his famous speech).

Hello hello there!
I have have a double spread today but no video, sorry!!
Here are some layouts for the Washington album with the divided page protectors! Love these things!
Some close ups :)
The awesome yellow background paper is from the Dear Lizzy 5th and Frolic collection by American Crafts, The pink paper is a cut out from a sheet I received in a Studio Calico kit called Vivid05. The thickers are Rockabye, the blue paper is from an older Echo Park line, some Studio Calico wood veneer of course and My Minds Eye enamel dots!!
Oh how I love October Afternoon stickers ;) This one was just perfect for this page; from the Fly A Kite line. The arrow was a negative background piece I cut from my Cameo, those little pieces always come in handy! And of course another enamel dot!
I love this little "layout", the stamp (exclusive to a SC kit) was the perfect size for this wood veneer frame!
I didn't have a lot to work with when it came to the pink paper so I cut a small strip from that card to bring a little bit to the second page. The letters are from Prima Marketing, they were an off white color so I used some Mr. Huey's in Opaque White to brighten them up a bit!
And here is the last little "layout". I knew I wanted some pace to journal and I usually like mine hidden so sewing this pocket was simple, just cut down the tag a bit to fit better, added another negative piece and enamel dot and called it done! :)
Thank you for stopping by!

First Person: Stack And Sheed
When we're very lucky, our Tar Heel basketball stars come in pairs.
Lewis and Miller, for the old schoolers among us (don't laugh: it won't be long before those of us who remember the pre-argyle days will be the equivalent of fondly recalling the White Phantoms). Jordan and Perkins. Carter and Jamison. Felton and May. Lawson and Ellington.
It's hard to think about one without the other, difficult to imagine one of Carter's soaring, one-handed dunks without also seeing Jamison posted up, then slipping by his defender and dropping the ball in the hoop before the defense even realizes what happened.
But perhaps no Carolina duo is more closely tied than Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse. They were in Chapel Hill for only two seasons, but they've spent nearly the last 20 years—yes, it's been almost 20 years since the twosome enrolled in the fall of 1993—residing together in our Tar Heel imaginations.
Seeing them back together on the court last night in the Nets-Knicks game bore only a slight resemblance to Stackhouse and Wallace as Tar Heels. They still played an important role in the game—Stackhouse, who was supposed to essentially just be getting on-the-job coaching training this year, made the tiebreaking three-pointer in overtime to propel the Nets to the win—but their styles have changed dramatically. Of the combined 17 field goals they attempted, 11 were three-pointers, a marked change from the days when even one three-pointer would've made you groan—not to mention rob you of the opportunity to see them careen through the lane with potentially dire consequences for the defense.
Part of their historic appeal is that they arrived at exactly the right time. Following recruiting in the mid-1990s still largely meant reading the newspaper. We hadn't seen internet videos of them. We just knew about their legend from reading about them, and then, improbably, they showed up and were exactly that good.
Stackhouse was from Kinston, which meant the News and Observer breathlessly followed his escapades. He played in the paper's holiday tournament in Raleigh, at the time an annual showcase for the best upcoming recruits at a time when those recruits still played meaningful games for their high school teams rather than on the summer showcase circuit (you kids get off my lawn, shouted the grumpy old basketball fan).
Stackhouse was thought to be a lock for NC State, and there are those Wolfpack fans who are still convinced he somehow reneged on a commitment to Raleigh. Of course, it should be noted that there are also those Wolfpack fans who are still convinced the unitard was visionary, so consider the source. I still remember waking up one morning and seeing the sports-page headline that Stackhouse had chosen the Tar Heels. It was a giddy day at Apex High that day, with State fans realizing they were doomed to another year of the Les Robinson Invitational (kids: ask your parents).
Then, somehow, things got even better. Carolina won the national title, beating a Michigan team that was much cooler than the Tar Heels but also not as cohesive. Ironically, Dean Smith followed up the title by leaving New Orleans and going straight to Philadelphia to recruit a cultural touchstone who has outlasted every member of the Fab Five, Rasheed Wallace.
And thus was the perfect recruiting class born. Stackhouse was quieter, but prone to occasional outbursts of incredible athleticism. This dunk against Virginia Tech remains one of the most violent and underrated dunks in Carolina history.
Everyone knows about the Stackhouse dunk in the 1995 game at Duke. Fewer recognize this one, but I was at the game at the Greensboro Coliseum, and it came out of nowhere, like most great dunks do. There was no chance to build anticipation. Stackhouse wasn't out on a fast break. He was in the halfcourt offense, and then he decided it was time to dunk on someone, and then he went out and found a victim (or two).
That's what it was like to watch Stackhouse and Wallace together. You had to pay attention to the mundane, because it was possible that it might turn into the classic at any given moment.
Consider this montage from the 1995 game at Cameron and see if you can pick a favorite. Mine might be Wallace's alley-oop on the fast break, when he catches it with two hands, casually transfers it to one hand, and slams it through while cruising past the rim at full speed, making it look no more complicated than moving his coffee cup to his other hand.
That's not a highlight reel culled across a season. That all happened in one game. If SportsCenter Top 10 had existed back then, they would've just played the game tape. Stackhouse's dunk was so impressive that even Billy Packer, a man who sees Rudolph at this time of year and thinks only of venison, is left to utter, "Awesome play." This is why you paid rapt attention to all 69 of their career Tar Heel games. What if you missed one and something legendary happened? It was too big a chance to take. Some of the players and moves in those videos look old. Not Stackhouse and Wallace. They look like they could run off the Cameron court in 1995 and run straight into the Comcast Center or PNC Arena and pick up right where they left off.
They dunked big, talked big—Wallace once promised the Tar Heels would not lose to Duke as long as he and Stackhouse were in Chapel Hill, and proceeded to back it up—and won big. Their only mistake may have been leaving one year too early, because if they'd stayed in school one more year, they would have been members of the all-time greatest video game squad of all time. The 1996 Tar Heels could've featured Stackhouse, Wallace, Jeff McInnis, Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison.
For the sake of rims across the ACC, it's probably better that didn't happen.
This might very well be the last year we get to see Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse on the court together. They don't get quite as high above those rims anymore, and they've turned from slashers into jump shooters. Where Wallace once had that gray patch on the back of his head, now there's some gray around his temples. You suspect Stackhouse's bald head may be more out of necessity than style these days.
They are on different teams now, have played long past most of their contemporaries, are now seen as providing a "veteran presence," which is NBA code meaning they are the old guys.
It doesn't matter. In Chapel Hill, as if it's still 1995, they are still Stack and Sheed. You hope they might never stop being Stack and Sheed, even until that day decades in the future when we trot them out to center court to honor them--they will have to be together, because there is no other way to do it--and play grainy video of dunks that only a few of us remember, and I turn to my grandkids and say, with a smile, "You would've loved watching them play."
DanGreat article. So glad you posted that Va. Tech dunk. Criminally underrated.
Mike W ( UNC Freshman, Fall '93)Well said, my friend. Hats off to the good times in the Hill.

Oh, babies! Pregnant ladies Kim Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen showcased their fierce maternity styles while out with their husbands, Kanye West and John Legend, respectively, on a double date night on Saturday, Nov. 21.
Kim Kardashian's Second Pregnancy Style >>
Dining at the Giorgio Baldi Italian eatery in Santa Monica, Calif., Kardashian, 35, who's expecting her second child (a boy!), showed off her baby bump in a fitted black dress, coupled with a long velvet coat by Givenchy. She accessorized with knee-high Sergio Rossi boots and a book clutch.
Also sticking to a fall palette, the FABLife host, 29, modeled a striped, burnt orange shirtdress with a camel coat (the must-have topper of the season!). She finished with hoop earrings and suede ankle-strap sandals.
Kim K.'s Best Booty Moments >>
The longtime friends have a history of eating out while looking fabulous. Earlier this year, after West performed at DirecTV's Super Bowl party, the couples hit the local Waffle House, where they dined while dressed in their stylish best.

In November of this year, I was asked to create a tribute image for artist Tomi Ungerer. The controversial illustrator and writer of countless children's books is the subject of the recent documentary Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story. The film, which is currently available through Nextflix, is a fascinating look at Ungerer's life and unusual career. While I was familiar with many of his children's book titles, I knew very little of his life and the other, more controversial, aspects of his career. He seems a passionate man – overflowing with talent and armed with a wicked sense of humor. He follows his heart and you can't help but admire him for all the unconventional choices he's made over the course of his impressive career. He did not take the easy road by any means. I think the film is required viewing for all artists. If you haven't already, check out this fantastic documentary on this amazing man.
The acclaimed film was directed, produced and written by Brad Bernstein for Corner of The Cave Media – the company which he co-founded in 2012. It was Brad that approached me to do the tribute piece and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity. I am honored that he would ask me to create art in tribute to this great artist. My sincere thanks to Brad for making this happen.
The final art was presented to Tomi at the premiere of the documentary in Dublin on December 13th.

From Melancholic Mummy
Dear You,
I am the ghost of Christmas yet to come. I am here to offer you hope, and some words of wisdom.
I can see you preparing for Christmas present, you're going through the motions of gift buying, making lists for turkeys and potatoes, and putting up the decorations … all with a false smile on your face. Inside I know that you're crying, sobbing. You've felt like this for six months but you are too proud to admit how you're feeling and ask for help. You struggle to get out of bed, you are angry and aggressive, you cry everyday, you see no purpose in life and no future, you think of ways to die and end your suffering. But as the ghost of Christmas yet to come, I can assure you that there is a future for you. It will be a difficult and emotional journey getting there, but it is worth the fight.
You need to find the courage to ask for help, it is not a sign of weakness to admit that you are struggling with life, it is the bravest thing you will do. Talk to your husband, your Mum, Doctor … anyone who will listen.
Be patient. You will feel better, but take one day at a time. You will not wake up one morning with a miraculous Scrooge-like transformation. You will have good days and bad, but eventually the majority will be good and you will start to enjoy life again.
Do not cut off your friends. You will be surprised how understanding and accepting they are of you. Next time they phone you, answer it. Next time they send a text message, reply. Your friends will get you through some of your toughest times if you give them the chance to help.
Do not blame yourself for having depression. There is nothing you could have done to prevent it; it is not your fault. Think of it as any other illness, like the flu.
You may not see a light at the end of the very dark tunnel you are in right now, but trust me – your future is full of bright, sparkly Christmas tree lights.
Take care of yourself,
From the ghost of Christmas yet to come

Listen to this article
It's time to buckle up for this final instalment of the Fast Lane's summer tour. If you're just joining us, we've already spent a few days in St Moritz, enjoying the lakes and the lovely Hotel Waldhaus in Sils-Maria, and wandered around Merano in Südtirol/Alto Adige, wondering what life might be like in one of those solid, multiterrace villas above the city centre.
We're now on the immaculate highway heading northwest out of Bolzano towards the tiny village of Barbiano. From there, we're supposed to drive along a narrow road and look for a grassy parking lot near a sports centre where we're to leave the car and then either hike for 60 minutes up to the hotel or call to be picked up. Worry not, we're opting for the latter. And, in case you haven't consulted the itinerary, we're heading to the Hotel Briol for an evening before carrying on to Bolzano and then the Villa Feltrinelli in Lake Garda.
I'm not quite sure how they were expecting us to get up to the tiny hotel by foot as the ride in the perky Toyota Land Cruiser is at times both hair-raising and slightly comical. The octogenarian driver bumps and weaves along a tiny track, missing tree trunks by millimetres and just holding the road with half a tyre tread. After 10 minutes on the trail, the final turn reveals a sun-kissed meadow and the sturdy façade of the Briol.
On the terrace, guests are reading in the sunshine and drinking local beer and wines from the valley below. Just beyond, proper linen sheets and dishcloths are hung out and fluttering in the wind, while young girls in dirndls and Nike trainers are preparing for dinner.
It seems that most of the guests (a mix of Germans, Swiss, Danes and Austrians) have been coming here for a while, so when the dinner bell sounds, everyone promptly moves to the very proper dining room to await the arrival of one hearty course after another – a sausage salad, pumpkin soup and an excellent lasagne made with radicchio. The Briol might cater to various dietary requirements but I could imagine that anyone who calls up requiring high-speed internet connections and a bathroom with a double basin being told there is no room at the inn. Just as Japanese ryokans are an exercise in perfect luxury due to their economy of choice, so, too, is the Briol.
Days are spent hiking or reading, evenings are meant for eating and socialising and bedtime is for sleeping with the windows open, tucked up under crisp linens and big duvets. Come morning, we woke at six, hiked up to the main building (we stayed in a wonderful little villa belonging to the property down the hill) and jumped into the circular, steel pool set into the grass that's been fed by mountain streams for almost a century. In the morning sun that was just breaking through the Dolomites, we warmed our skin, got dressed, wandered down to breakfast and enjoyed fresh redcurrants on yoghurt, plates of speck and alpine cheese and wonderful pots of coffee. An hour later, we were rocking back down the mountain in the Land Cruiser and shortly after were behind the wheel of our own car and heading back to Bolzano. In the city centre, we stopped in to say hello to the very chic owner of Victorienne (perhaps one of the most elegant women's shops in Europe), picked up some wine at a nearby shop, made time for a coffee or two and then hit the road just as the town centre was closing for lunch.
We thought about taking a table on one of the town squares but decided lunch might be best enjoyed poolside at the Villa Feltrinelli, so we hit the autostrada and 90 minutes later we pulled up on the shores of Lake Garda and were promptly shown to a table. The Feltrinelli has been a regular escape for the past few years and never fails to deliver on service, attention to detail and one of the best morning swims in the world. The dip involves rolling out of bed, pulling on trunks, wandering down to one of several jetties, inhaling the sharp air blowing down the lake from the Alps and then diving into the cool water. Afterwards it's straight to breakfast on the terrace where all the right newspapers are on offer, guests speak in hushed voices rather than yak at each other and pretty much anything one might want to start the day with is on offer from the kitchen.
After two days at the Feltrinelli it was on to Lugano and then down to Portofino to introduce my mother to the delightful Bagni Fiore. I had to correct some unruly Russian girls, who didn't quite understand that the social code of sunbathing in a civilised environment means keeping your music to yourselves.
After two days of perfect weather on the Ligurian coast, it was a direct dash back to St Moritz, one last splash in an alpine lake and a gentle journey back to base in London. This column shifts up a gear from next week.

While OOIDA senior member William "Lewie" Pugh of Freeport, OH, said he isn't opposed to a new interchange project in his home state, he is concerned that two rest areas and the vital parking they provide truckers have been closed.
The northbound and southbound Interstate 77 rest areas were closed recently and will be razed to make way for an interchange at Dover. The $11.2 million project is intended to relieve congestion at the existing I-77 interchanges at Route 39 and routes 21 and 250 at Strasburg, according to an Ohio Department of Transportation press release.
Pugh said he agrees that the interchange project is needed to keep trucks from having to route through residential areas on routes 21 and 250. However, he believes ODOT rushed ahead with the project and didn't address the need for truck parking.
Reopening the shuttered weigh stations at Bolivar, OH, a few miles from where the rest areas were closed, is one option Pugh proposes. Instead, those scales, which were closed nearly two years ago, were barricaded against parking.
"I just think they went about this all backwards," Pugh told Land Line recently. "They could have reopened these scales first for truck parking; then they could have closed down the rest areas to make room for the interchange. This way truckers and the motoring public would have an option to park."
He said the recently closed rest areas were always full, and the truck stops nearby were always packed. The next closest rest areas are nearly 100 miles away.
Pugh even called the office of his state lawmaker, Rep. Allan R. Sayre, D-96th District, to express concern about the rest area closures.
"I just said that while I don't use those rest areas because I live not far from there, I do think they are important," Pugh said. "I said that if they are going to close them, they need to provide alternative parking. I explained that this could affect me and my family who are traveling through there if either a car or truck driver dozes off and hits somebody because they didn't have a place to pull off and rest."
