This web site is about my music. I have been writing songs as long as I can remember, but have thrown away more than I have ever kept. Now that I have more time and resources I am bringing my songs to life one at a time. I am calling the "band" The Rock Island All Stars, because it is comprised of revolving musicians playing on different songs at different times. But we all have something in common. We want our music heard and enjoyed by others.
All the songs are available on Itunes and Amazon but are also available here for free* "Free " meaning that if you like what you hear you will hopefully investigate the musician links on each song and support these fine artists who have made music their life. There are bios to peruse as these professionals I work with have careers in their own world and are all worthy of following. Their connections and contributions in the music industry run deep and I can't imagine anyone being disappointed where the links might lead.
I do most of my writing at Rock Island Farm in Scottsville, VA on the James River. (that is when I am not tubing, swimming, boating, hiking or kicking back) some of the songs are from my life, some from my friends lives and some just from life itself. I hope there is something here for almost all tastes.
So please listen to our music and if you like it send it to your friends. I own all the copyrights and recordings and all downloads and sharing is completely legal. . We will be adding songs as they become ready for public consumption.. Please feel free to leave any comments and lets us know what you think…. and Thanks for listening….

Cyber Monday Better Than Expected
Posted By: Dr. Frugal in Economics on 11/28/2007 at 06:49:08
Cyber Monday exceeding expectations by a solid 40%. This means one of two things: either the economy is not doing as badly as everyone thought or people have absolutely no problem racking even more credit card debt. If I were a betting man, I would put my chips down on the latter, but maybe I'm wrong and it would be fantastic news for everyone if I were. I suspect people are just trying to buy themselves out of the unhappiness of the past year but we'll just have to wait and see if I'm wrong.

They say laughter is the best medicine. Now, for the hundreds of thousands of people who end up in the emergency room every year because of painful kidney stones, a trip to Disneyland may be just what the doctor ordered. Michigan State University medical scientists recently confirmed their theory that riding roller coasters could help with passing kidney stones, hard deposits of insoluble calcium compounds lodged in the kidneys.
Professor and urologist David Wartinger began to consider the legitimacy of such a treatment when several patients reported passing stubborn kidney stones after riding a roller coaster. Oddly enough, these patients weren't just talking about any old ride. They kept naming one in particular: Walt Disney World's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Orlando, Florida.
So Wartinger, being the true-blue scientist that he is, decided to test the coaster out himself. He recruited a colleague, Dr. Marc Mitchell, and together they begrudgingly made the journey from Michigan to Florida.
"It was a terrible burden," Wartinger tells NBC News, a cross he had to bear in the name of science.
To test the theory, the urologists crafted a kidney model out of silicone and filled it with actual human kidney stones. While on the roller coaster, they nested the artificial kidney in a backpack between them, positioned at kidney height.
And after 20 rides? Those suckers came right out.
The back of the roller coaster proved optimal for kidney stone passage, the urologists report in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. While in the front seats of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad they came out at a ratio of four in 24. But 23 of the 36 kidney stones popped loose when in the back.
In order to pass a kidney stone, you need to get it out of the tubes in your kidney and into your ureter — the thing that takes your pee down to your bladder and out the front door. So it might seem that riding a roller coaster works because it jostles your kidney around and loosens the stones. However, City of Hope urologist Clayton Lau remains skeptical.
It's a long journey down the ureter, he says, and a good shaking will only get you so far. Instead, he suggests, the adrenaline triggered by the thrill ride might be the real cure here.
Furthermore, Wartinger cautions anyone who might try to skip the doctor's office and go straight to Disneyland. Any stones bigger than four or five milimeters could get stuck in your ureter.
"That's when you feel like you are giving birth to a porcupine," he says. This treatment might be best for people who know their kidney stones are small or people who want to prevent kidney stones altogether.
The pair of pioneers have since tested their theory 200 times, and their findings are consistent. Now they want to move on to other rides and amusement parks. But the question that's really burning in the back of our minds they have yet to answer: Do they have to wait in those long lines like a regular schmuck, or do they get special privileges for their benevolence?

Good Frozen Cocktails!
Jay Bell
With summer in full swing here on Cape Cod, any visit to a restaurant or bar on the water will show a lot of people enjoying a delicious-looking frozen cocktail. Some of these places use pre-mixed ingredients that are often neither high quality nor as tasty as those mixed fresh and on-site. However, if you're at home, you have a chance to make your frozen concoction almost healthy!
You can taste the difference when assembling ingredients from scratch, but it doesn't have to be difficult. There are only a few keys to keep in mind:
In essence, the goal is as simple as making your favorite smoothie and then adding alcohol and serving in a fun glass. A good starting ratio of alcohol to everything else is 1:3.
One other way to make this even healthier is to add protein powder. It can act as a thickener, has high quality ingredients, and starts to turn that drink into a meal replacement meant to be enjoyed on your back deck or patio.
It can also be a fun way to experiment: perhaps cocoa, banana, and coconut flakes, or fresh-picked berries and cream, along with white rum? Juicing cucumbers and watermelon and adding cucumber-infused vodka? It's a five-minute drink, $10 bucks less than a bar, and far healthier than any bar will serve.
What combinations would form your favorite frozen drink and leave you kicking back in your chair, feeling like you're enjoying the good life?
Good Stuff...
can be anything from recipes to interesting antiques to fun projects. These are all things that might spark your interest or your own ideas!

Hello and Happy Tuesday to you all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and your week is going well.

I have lots of projects to get ready to pre-post for while I'm gone--only 9 more days until my Hilton Head Island vacations! YAYYYY-I'm soooo ready for it! Although I do think it's harder "getting ready" to go on vacation than to just stay home, lmbo, but so worth it! Beaches, alligators and hot humid weather---HERE WE COME!
I worked most of the weekend but I did find time to get to the pool with the family and do some reading! I just finished Karen White's new book called "On Folly Beach" & it was MAGNIFICENT! She is one of my favorite authors--you open her books and just fall right in. I read it in a day and can't recommend it enough---all of her books are fabulous, not a bad one in the bunch I tell ya! I'm hoping to meet her at a reading when I'm down in SC for vacay--fingers crossed!

Since today is the 15th of June that means it's another Copic Creations Challenge!! This month our sponsor is Stampavie and the challenge was to color on any paper other than white cardstock! I love this challenge and I picked "kraft cs" to color on because I love the look of Copics and a white highlighter pen on it. The stamp I used is by Stampavie and is called "Skateboard Dude"--find it HERE! You can find out all the info on the challenge, how to join in on the fun and see the DT projects on the blog HERE!
Basic Grey (Lime Rickey) and Cosmo Cricket's (DeLovely)--I love the circle theme. The background turquoise cardstock got embossed with a NEW Tim Holtz embossing folder that I LOVE (shhh...don't tell but I got them all, lol)--this one is called "bricked" and it comes with the "woodgrain" folder too! I love the brick background on this skater card! My kraft cardstock is from Paper Trey Ink--I love their kraft! That fun arrow was hand-cut by me, lol, because I thought I had a punch like this but I didn't (GASP) and then I inked the edges and added some white dots with my Sharpie Poster Paint Pen (in white w/ extra fine tip HERE). The "brother" word was done with my Slice and "Words & Expressions" cartridge--love that SLICE!! A few Robin's Nest baubles in white finish it off.
Isn't this skater boy the cutest--I just love him! Copic Tip: When you color on kraft you need to remember that the kraft cs is more fibrous so it sucks Copic ink in quickly and blending is a little different. It also dilutes the vibrancy of the Copic colors, so you want to stay on the darker/brighter side when choosing your colors--the lighter colors leave a very faint bit of color, so keep that in mind! I used some stickles on his skateboard and added some white accents with my sharpie pen! Then I cut the image and it's layers out with my SB Nestabilities dies.
Now make sure to hop over to the Copic Creations Challenge Blog to see all the DT's projects and to join in as well for a fabulous prize!!

Banta to Acquire Singapore-based Supply-Chain Management Company
Thursday, June 20, 2002
Press release from the issuing companyMENASHA, Wis., June 19 -- Banta is acquiring Singapore- based Mentor Media Ltd. (Singapore Stock Exchange), signaling a major Asian expansion of Banta's supply-chain management business. Banta has reached agreements with the principal shareholders of Mentor Media to acquire the entire company, subject to approval by the company's remaining shareholders and to certain conditions. Mentor Media has eight operations, three in Singapore; two in Shanghai, China; and one each in Shenzhen, China; Taiwan; and South Korea. Its 2002 sales were U.S.$46 million (S$83 million, at a rate of 1.00 U.S. dollar to 1.79 Singapore dollars). "This acquisition will significantly advance our strategic vision of global leadership in supply-chain management outsourcing, transforming Asia into one of our strongest geographic regions," says Banta Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Donald D. Belcher. "With Mentor Media, our Banta Global Turnkey Group will gain the infrastructure to serve its existing customers precisely where they are expanding their operations, and where the demand for supply-chain services is rapidly growing. In addition, Mentor Media will bring us new customers, which will create opportunities to extend service relationships to our operations in the U.S., Mexico and Europe. "Most attractive to us are our two companies' similarities in terms of markets served, operational culture and financial strength. Mentor Media has excellent customer relationships -- many of which overlap with Banta -- an extremely capable and energetic management team, and a strong balance sheet," says Belcher. Mentor Media Executive Chairman and Managing Director Wong Yat Foo will join Banta and will continue to have leadership responsibilities for all of Mentor Media's operations. Wong says the alliance with Banta provides his firm an immediate global presence that is critically important to his company's strategic growth plans. "With Banta's financial strength, expertise, reputation and presence in the U.S. and Europe, we gain an operational platform from which to aggressively pursue our shared vision of global supply-chain management leadership," notes Wong. "By providing outsourcing solutions on a global scale, we will be participating directly in the growth potential of our customers, several of which are served by both of our companies. Our alliance is a perfect fit for both of us and we look forward to what we expect will be a smooth integration process and many years of exciting growth." Banta Global Turnkey Group President Patrick G. Keohane says numerous synergies will help assure a successful merging of the two companies' operations. "Our product and service focus is a virtual mirror image of one another," notes Keohane. "Both of our business models emphasize a full- service approach to meeting the outsourcing needs of the computer hardware, software and electronic device markets, while emphasizing disciplined process control and a total focus on the customer. This similarity of operational cultures is extremely appealing to us, as is Mentor's excellent reputation in the marketplace. There are many opportunities to lower costs by leveraging economies of scale and by responding quickly to our customers' worldwide service needs, which are growing most rapidly in China, Singapore and South Korea." The cash transaction is valued at US$70 million (S$125 million). Mentor Media shareholders will receive $0.34 per share (S$0.60 per share) of common stock. The shares last closed at $0.30 per share (S$0.54 per share) on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Mentor shareholders are expected to vote on the acquisition in August 2002, and the transaction is expected to close early in Banta's fourth quarter, which begins October 1, 2002. Banta expects the acquisition's financial effect on the corporation's consolidated earnings per share will be modestly accretive in 2003, and accretive in 2004 and 2005. Mentor Media Ltd. is one of the leading supply-chain management companies in Asia. It provides value-added outsourcing services to the computer hardware, software, consumer electronics and telecommunications industries, employing approximately 500. Its services include customized manufacturing, supply-chain management, product assembly, packaging, print production, software media duplication, order fulfillment and distribution. Banta Corporation is a technology and market leader in printing and supply-chain management, employing approximately 8,000. The corporation's 2001 annual sales were $1.46 billion. Banta's global supply-chain management business, Banta Global Turnkey Group, operates 10 facilities in North America, Europe and Asia. It provides a wide range of outsourcing capabilities to the world's largest technology companies. Services range from component procurement, product assembly and packaging to inventory control and global distribution. The Banta Print Group operates 27 facilities in North America, providing a comprehensive combination of printing and digital imaging solutions to leading publishers and direct marketers, including advanced digital content management and e-business services.

ANAMUonline.com launched yesterday and to celebrate, my friend Caitlin helped host a little get together with family and friends. Thank you to those that came, it was so fun to share everything with you in person! All of the online/email love from those not present has been amazing too - thank you! With the site up and the party in the bag, today was a day of rest. Well, its rest in my book :)
Began with the second Sunday of the month ritual, attending the Rose Bowl flea market, AKA heaven on earth. Bought several scarves for new bags and also left with some items for my niece-to-be, Juliana. Since my sister and brother in law just got back from Hawaii (very smart before Juliana arrives in December!), I wanted to commemorate her first vacation. Scored this great hand-painted, porcelain hula girl with a real grass skirt - you dont see them like this anymore- and picked up an old Mason Jar to put sea shells in. I cant' wait to go to the beach and collect them with her...she's not even born yet and I'm already the biggest sucker!
Post flea market activities took us to the skies above El Monte for an afternoon flight. Joe has been flying for years and today I got to be co-pilot! I got the hang of it right away but did have some hesitations with turning left for some reason. Regardless, it was seriously a cool feeling to hover above with no one else around but us. A few more times and I think I may just get my wings!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
The team of Young Feminist Europe
On September 14th, Jean Claude Juncker, on behalf of the European Commission, reviewed a year of EU achievements and outlined his action plan for the next twelve months in the much anticipated "State of the Union" speech. We, 52 young feminists, representing 22 diverse European countries, have written our response – a feminist State of the Union.
A child's education is vital in forming who he/she will become as an adult, these formative years can be especially important in how children will perceive gender in the future. How can we start from a young age to break gender stereotypes and pave the way for a completely equal society? The taboo-ed gender-sensitive education could be the answer; but what really is it and how can it help create a feminist education?
Women's employment is one of those evergreen issues in the agenda of the old continent. Besides dusty stereotypes that still relegate women to few sectors of care and other social needs, the problem of women's employment has been worsened by the recent economic crisis. What are the European trends when it comes to women's education, wages and their presence in decision-making positions?

text: Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment for movement symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including shaking, stiffness, and difficulty moving. If your Parkinson's medications are not working as well as they used to, see our specialists to find out if this proven and safe treatment may be right for you. How DBS Works A small, pacemaker-like device sends electronic signals to an area in the brain that controls movement. Our specially trained neurosurgeon, Murali Bogavalli, MD, places the device under the skin in the chest, and very thin wires connect the device to your brain. The settings will be adjusted to optimize the therapy for you. Getting the initial settings right may take several sessions. Over time, the settings can be adjusted to meet your changing needs. The device requires no daily maintenance or special care. You will have a patient controller that can turn the system on and off, adjust stimulation, and check the battery. How DBS Helps Deep brain stimulation with medications: Provides 5 additional hours of good movement control each day compared to medication alone. Improves quality of life more than medications alone. Makes it easier to do routine daily activities like take a bath, get dressed, write clearly, and drink from a glass. Significantly reduces medication use, which may mean fewer medication-related side effects such as dizziness and uncontrolled movements. Is DBS Safe? DBS is an FDA-approved therapy for symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is not an experimental treatment. DBS keeps your treatment options open. The system can be turned off and may be removed. (Michael J. Fox had a different kind of brain surgery that was not reversible.) DBS has been helping people for over 25 years. DBS Therapy is not for everyone, so it's important to talk with our DBS specialists about the benefits and the risks for you personally. What Is the Right Time for DBS? Parkinson's is a progressive disease. The symptoms get worse over time. During the course of the disease, there is a period when deep brain stimulation can do the most good to help control your symptoms. If you wait too long, DBS will not be an option for you. Your Next Step: Call for an Appointment See a specialist at our center to find out if DBS may be right for you. During the consultation, you can: Find out if you are a candidate. Get expert answers to your questions about DBS. Learn what the procedure is like. Talk about the benefits and risks. You may call our center directly at 337-480- or a7903 or ask your doctor for a referral.

Have trouble getting a campfire to stay lit? Try a fire starter log for a one-match fire each time.
I've been creating fire starters using lint and cardboard egg cartons for years.
I've tried them with and without wax and even created these scented ones.
Those work, but I have found more success with these fire starter logs.
These are particularly helpful with getting a fire to stay lit when it's damp out.
Fire Starter Logs
Cardboard tubes
Dryer Lint
optional: Potpourri
Cookie Tin
Empty can
Pan with water
Create a double boiler by placing the empty can in the pan with water. Make sure the can is clean and dry.
Place the candle into the can.
Heat the water to melt the candle wax.
Stand the cardboard tubes up in the cookie tin.
Stuff some lint into each tube. I like to leave a little gap at the bottom of the tube. That gap provides a little lip of cardboard to catch the flame from the match.
Stuff potpourri into each tube.
Stuff lint on top of the potpourri, leaving a gap at the top of the tube.
Carefully pour the melted candle wax into each tube.
Let the wax harden.
Remove the tubes from the tin.
Use one fire starter log to start a campfire.
These little logs are so helpful with getting a fire started.
Just light the edge of the cardboard and let the log do the rest of the work.
We've been foolish and tried to start a few fires without these since we made them.
We've learned our lesson and always use one.
These fire starter logs are fun and cost hardly anything to make. Everyone should have empty toilet paper rolls and dryer lint on hand.
You can make them without the potpourri. I picked up the scented candles and potpourri at Dollar Tree.
No need to spend money on commercial fire starters. Yes, that is Diana's hair stuck in the lint.
Do you ever have trouble lighting a fire?

AUBURN – The Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the Auburn University School of Nursing in cooperation with the Lee-Russell Council of Governments are offering an intensive three-day workshop for caregivers including family member, friend and professional caregivers in Barbour, Bullock, Elmore, Lee, Macon, Montgomery and Russell counties.
Entitled "Alabama Home Caregiver: Caring for Caregivers," the free workshop will be at Lakeview Baptist Church Fellowship Hall in Auburn, March 13, 14 and 28. The church is located on the corner of East University Drive and East Glenn Avenue.
"The purpose of the workshop is to provide research-based information and hands-on training that can help ease the burdens associated with caregiving and increase caregivers' skills and knowledge of caregiving and respite issues," says Jatunn Gibson, an Extension gerontology specialist.
Extension and the AU School of Nursing have put together a team of 12 professionals to conduct the training. A wide range of topics will be covered including aging, communicating with seniors, body mechanics, business and finance issues, home maintenance, disaster planning, nutrition, personal care, senior fraud, and time and stress management.
The workshop is approved for social work and nursing contact hours and continuing education units for nursing.
If you want to know more about this program or register for it, contact project manager Antisha Felton at (334) 844-5509.

An International Travel Opportunity Awaits
Only a few days until many of us will gather in Toronto for what promises to be a most rewarding international conference. ALCTS has many fine programs scheduled, and I will report on as many of them as possible in the August Newsletter. However, I have not been besieged with offers to summarize them, so if you attend a program, take good notes and send me a 300 word summary no later than (and preferably well before) August 1. I'd appreciate an E-mail message in advance about any summaries you plan to write.
I hope our readers have noticed that the association's executive director, Charles Wilt, is now writing a column for each issue. I encourage you to read and absorb what Charles has to say; I am learning things I didn't know about ALCTS before, and I have been an active member for 25 years. Gee, that's a quarter of a century; afraid I am showing my age!
Please also enjoy in this issue a summary of ALCTS activities regarding the Library of Congress Action Plan; discussion group topics for meetings in Toronto; a reminder about the ALCTS President's Program on generational issues; and an announcement of a new management workshop scheduled for this August in Chicago.
See you north of the border!

Technology That Makes a Difference
With funding from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), LURACO Technologies, Inc. developed an infrared optical sensor "IR sensor" that will be used for engine fluid quality monitoring in U.S. military aircraft.
LURACO's IR sensor will initially be targeted at Apache (AH-64) and Blackhawk (UH-60) aircraft. In the future, it may be integrated into other military aircraft as well as industrial processing equipment, construction equipment and vehicles, and energy generation equipment. Much of this equipment currently is not monitored. By using IR sensing technology to determine fluid maintenance needs, the military would have an accurate, light-weight, compact, rugged, and highly reliable system built right into the aircraft engine that could save millions in maintenance costs.
Infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy has been demonstrated as a suitable technique for lubricant and oils quality analysis. IR spectroscopy measures the unique absorption signatures of oil, from which their identity and concentration can be accurately determined. A preliminary investigation of infrared absorption spectroscopy for oil analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra of both unused and used oil samples acquired with FTIR instruments in the laboratory is shown in figure 1 & 2.
Infrared absorption spectra of both used and unused oil samples show absorption structure that differs from sample to sample and is indicative of changes in the physical and chemical properties of the lubricant. These spectra can be used to monitor the depletion of oil additives, the formation of by-products through chemical reactions that might take place during the high-temperature operation of the engine, and any change in the oil's hydrocarbon chemical structure. These results indicate that infrared absorption spectroscopy is a viable technique for oil condition assessment and warrants further experimentation and analysis to understand the origin of different species and the variation of their concentrations so that they can be spectroscopically monitored.
Using infrared optical spectrum analysis, concentrations of many contamination compounds in oil can be identified. Figure 3 below shows the spectrum differences indicating changes in concentration of contamination compounds at specified wavelength ranges.
Optical sensors provide superior performance compared to other technologies and allow a quick and cost effective prediction of oil and fluid conditions. Oil and fluid analysis using optical spectroscopy by FTIR has been used in industry and laboratory. However, current FTIR systems are usually large and developed for laboratory use purposes only. In order to develop an in-line oil analysis system, the sensor needs to be compact. LURACO researched and developed a simple and cost effective IR sensor architecture for aircraft engine fluid sensing to detect infrared optical absorption coefficient shifts as fluid degrades.

Last year, I wrote a post about peeking into our Lenten purple world. We kept much of it the same but this year, I added a few more symbols (like sackcloth) to our home.
(Hobby Lobby)
I had fun draping this around and also have some other fun plans to come:)
Here is our updated entryway with sackcloth...
(This was actually a free burlap feed sack from a local animal feed store)
(This was a very inexpensive craft from the past)
(This burlap sackcloth {above} was on sale in the Easter section of Hobby Lobby) It comes in a roll and is very easy to work with, as is the regular burlap I mentioned in the beginning of this post.
+I used it here on our Dining Room Table+
These inexpensive supplies came in handy to decorate Lenten candles...These would also make nice gifts.
Just a little hot glue is all it took to adorn this violet candle with sackcloth accents, circled by a mini grape vine wreath/crown of thorns.
Another sackcloth display idea...
+Lenten Blessings!+

The Priory Dolls – Nice dream in a nasty placeWritten by Jason Strange on August 18, 2010
Preparing to make their way up to Sydney to perform, I grabbed a few moments with Rory to give us a run down on The Priory Dolls.
MF: Give the Music Feeds' readers The Priory Dolls' history lesson?
PD: Priory Dolls formed for a lack of better judgement in 2007. We wrote a bunch of songs, played a bunch of filthy dives, devoured and excreted five drummers and released an EP, a single and a few demos in the process. Finally with a solid lineup we set about making an album and getting our music to as many people as possible.
MF: How would describe your sound to the guy at the bar?
PD: Like waking up from a nice dream in a nasty place.
MF: How's the recording going for the debut record?
PD: We are currently mixing and couldn't be happier with how it's turned out so far.
MF: How has working with Dave McCluney (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) influenced the sound of the songs?
PD: It made a massive difference being able to record with someone as talented as Dave. He really helped us to solidify our sound and made the whole experience much quicker than we anticipated.
MF: What's the best piece of advice the group has been given?
PD: Not all advice is good advice.
MF: The Priory Dolls have been asked to create their own festival, who would be on the bill?
PD: The Drones, Spiritualized, My Bloody Valentine, Eric Bogle, Health, Liars, A Place To Bury Strangers, Sonic Youth, Crystal Castles.
MF: What are the band's plans for the remainder of 2010?
PD: Release the album, tour like fuck and hopefully play a festival.
MF: Describe the Melbourne scene in one word?
PD: Crowded
MF: What would be the first song you would put on a mix tape?
PD: Die slow by Health
The Priory Dolls play Mum @ Worldbar this Friday 20th August

TQ3080SW WHITEHALL, SW1(west side)1900-/83/10153 Whitehall Theatre
(west side)
1900-/83/10153 Whitehall Theatre
Theatre. 1929-30 by Edward A Stone. Steel and reinforced concrete clad in brick and with Portland stone facades to front and rear. Rectangular plan, but with angle between entrance hall and foyers and auditorium which is concealed in the arrangement of the foyers and stairs. Symmetrical facade with bronze windows to first and second floors linked by panels set back in chamfered surrounds. Stepped parapet. Rear elevation with arcaded mouldings.
Interior. Foyer and stairs lead to auditorium with gallery and stage with fly tower. Angled and ribbed proscenium arch with tympanum containing stylised mermaid appearing from a shell and scrolled foliage decoration. Similar motifs are the centrepiece of the octagonal concave ceiling. These curved and moulded surfaces in stippled silver act as reflectors in the ceiling light. Stalls box set back from proscenium, with box over set in ribbed surround, and with two further boxes to either side at back of circle, all with masques and cartouches on box fronts, and those at rear with dentil mouldings. Foliage decoration and dentil mouldings to balcony fronts. Silver cornices. The decoration of black, red, gold and silver was designed to be reflective and is an important part of the composition.
With only 650 seats the Whitehall Theatre was a novel departure for West End theatres, intended according to the Architect and Building News for light comedies rather than the melodramas of earlier years or for big musicals. It was among the first theatres in Britain to champion `an architecture of light', pioneered in German theatres and cinemas during the 1920s but not found in British cinema architecture until the mid-1930s. The auditorium has a decorative cohesion and prettiness rare in theatres of its day, and has the best surviving original fabric of this type of theatre.

It's pretty much certain that a Democrat will make it on the November ballot to challenge GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, but as of Friday we still don't know who.
In the latest tallies released by Orange County elections officials Thursday, stem cell scientist Hans Keirstead was just 129 votes ahead of fellow Democrat and real estate investor Harley Rouda.
That's an increase in the lead for Keirstead, who had been ahead by just 45 votes the day before.
Democratic state Sen. Kevin de León has represented part of Los Angeles in Sacramento for more than a decade, but he failed to secure a majority of votes on his home turf in the U.S. Senate primary this week.
With 2 million votes left to be counted, it's an early indicator of how difficult the former state Senate leader may find it to challenge Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has represented California in Washington for over a quarter of a century.
The preliminary, uncertified results show De León received 34% in the 24th Senate District. Feinstein won the district with 44%.
Democrat Mike Levin has advanced to the general election and will take on Republican Diane Harkey in the race to replace GOP Rep. Darrell Issa in the 49th Congressional District.
The district — which includes southern Orange County and northern San Diego — is one of Democrats' biggest pickup opportunities.
Issa won reelection by just 1,621 votes in 2016, the closest reelection of any House member that year. After that, Democratic activists in the district were energized, holding weekly rallies outside Issa's office for more than a year and spending months registering and reaching out to voters.
Democrats appeared to largely dodge a major threat in California by securing spots on the ballot in almost all of the competitive House seats they want to win in order to retake control of Congress.
But, so far, it looks like the party will be locked out of a Republican-held seat in the eastern desert portion of the state. Incumbent Paul Cook (R-Yucca Valley) and former Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, who previously challenged Cook, are in the top two slots.
Though the district was not officially targeted by Democrats, Marge Doyle raised a serious amount of money in her campaign. But she's looking like the odd candidate out in the GOP-leaning district, where 37% of voters are registered Republicans, 32% are Democrats and 22% have no party preference. Voters backed President Trump over Hillary Clinton by a margin of 15 percentage points in the district two years ago and Cook was reelected 62% to 38%.
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, fresh off his first-place showing in yesterday's primary election, was in a chipper enough mood on Wednesday to lavish his competitors with compliments.
On Antonio Villaraigosa, his closest Democratic opponent whose backers drew Newsom into a costly battle on the airwaves, the lieutenant governor was insistent the campaign left no hard feelings.
"I've long respected Antonio — and I mean that," Newsom told reporters at San Francisco's Ferry Building Marketplace. "Listen, he's a competitive guy, he's got incredible political talent."
Democrat Gavin Newsom and Republican John Cox will face off in the November election for governor. An analysis of voting results shows which counties voted heavily for a Democrat and which favored a Republican in that race.
The rise in voting by mail has made it much tougher for local governments to calculate voter turnout. That challenge is magnified in places such as Los Angeles County, where a majority of votes could be cast by mail in this election.
As such, it takes more time.
As of early Wednesday, county officials had counted just over 952,633 ballots. Of those, about 30% were mail ballots.
Stacey Dash may have called it quits on her congressional run, a quick flameout from the "Clueless" actress-turned-conservative commentator who heated up an otherwise placid reelection bid by freshman Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-San Pedro).
Could the contest be getting interesting again?
Compton Mayor Aja Brown jumped into the race as Dash brought the bright attention of celebrity blogs to California's 44th Congressional District in February. She said Dash was a motivating factor in her decision to jump in the race.
California's most wide-open primary in two decades ended Tuesday with contests from governor to seats in the U.S. House that seemed focused, even fixated at times, on the race for second place.

Have you heard of Zabada Clean for Life? If not you, my friends, are missing out on a fantastic, easy way to clean your homes, chemical free! Yes, that's right, I said chemical free! How many times have you scrubbed those kitchen counters only to see a streak of dried chemical cleaner left behind? Have you ever tried to pronounce the names of these cleaners? I for one have had enough. The best thing I can do for my family, friends and pets is keep my home clean and protect them from chemicals and germs. I'm choosing chemical free cleaning with Zabada Clean for Life.
Zabada uses advanced cleaning microfibers and microfiber cloths that contain deep, thick fibers that are superior when compared to the average microfiber cloth. The fibers that make the Zabada line of products are effective at grabbing every particle from every kind of surface just by adding water. These fibers work so well that they put them to the test. See the difference Zabada makes when compared to other chemicals in the video below.
For the last three weeks my family and I have put three of the Zabada Kitchen Care products to the test. Our review consisted of the Zabada Kitchen Glove, Kitchen Marvel and Kitchen Handy. Our products came with easy to understand instructions with clear photos of how to use them properly. Our first step was to prep our Zabada products for use. We did this by adding cold water to the our kitchen glove and kitchen handy, squeezed out the excess water, and went straight to the counters and sink. After they were wiped down we used the kitchen marvel to dry them. My counter tops frequently leave me with a false sense of clean because of their design. I can scrub them and come back later and see a spot I missed in the right light, it is so frustrating.
As you can see my counter tops and sink are sparkling clean with no sticky residues left behind. We were able to cut our cleaning time down dramatically just by using these three products to clean the kitchen. What I like the most is I'm not just limited to solid surface areas. We used them on all of our appliances too, including the stainless steel! I have never felt so good about cleaning my kitchen. My children are required to help clean daily and now I don't have to worry about them inhaling fumes from cleaners. Washing the Zabada Kitchen Care products was simple. I just put them in the laundry bag after I used them twice to clean in the washing machine. You can let them air dry or tumble dry on low after washing. It's that simple. You can save your household lots of time and money by switching to Zabada chemical free cleaning products! Right now, when you go to Zabada you'll see their current promotion that is offering customers $50 off a purchase of $150, or if you spend $300 you'll receive $100 in savings. That's not all…use coupon code TAKE10 and get an additional 10% off, valid until October 7th, 2015. That is an awesome amount of savings! Make sure you check out all the products they have for your entire home and start cleaning chemical free.

Somebody's Always Watching
Author: Jimmy D. Brown
Even when we don't think they are, they are. Even when we don't see them, their eyes are upon us. Even when we don't pay any attention, they do. Somebody's always watching. I got an ugly reminder of that earlier today.
We pulled into the Hampton Inn to grab a room for the night and there was one other vehicle under the registration awning as we arrived. The vehicle immediately got our attention because it had license plates that read GOSPEL. The familiar "fish" was plastered near the back bumper. And there were other Christian messages adorning the front of the vehicle as well. We knew these must be some of the brethren.
And then, it happened.
They locked their keys in the car. Apparently, it was the wife's fault, judging from the tantrum and explosive words the husband began throwing at her. Unaware that we had pulled up behind them, unaware that anyone was watching, unaware that someone who had observed all their Christian decorations had their eyes locked on them, and unaware that their testimony for Christ was on open view.
This man began throwing an old-fashioned fit. Ranting and raving, hurling abusive accusations, just generally being very ugly to his wife. All because they were going to have to call AAA to get their keys out of their locked vehicle. Only God knows what would have happened if it had been a real crisis!
The point I want to make is this: you and I wear the Name of Christ. Whether or not we have a license plate that bears it or we wear a WWJD bracelet or t-shirt, or whether or not we adorn the traditional fish symbol, we wear the Name of Christ 24/7.
That's not to say that we are going to be perfect, because we're not. It is to say that somebody's always watching. Even when we don't see them. Even when we don't know they are there. Even when we aren't paying any attention. Somebody's always watching.
And it's important that we "let our lights shine" for Christ as best we can. It's important that we remember that our words and actions represent Him. It's important that we remember Christianity isn't something we put on for Sundays when we're at church and we take off during the remainder of the week.
If we belong to Him, then we ought to live for Him.
Christian, today someone will pull up behind you. You might not see them, but they'll see you. You may not notice them, but they'll notice you. You may not be paying any attention to them at all, but I assure you, they will be paying attention to you.
What will they see? Will they see YOU or will they see CHRIST THROUGH YOU? Will they see the flesh working or the Spirit at work?
Today, let us all make an extra effort to be like Jesus. And let's let our lights shine to the glory of God for all to see. Because I can guarantee you. Somebody's always watching.
Have a "Wonderful DAY in Christ,"
Jimmy D. Brown

Ken Schneck, author of the forthcoming Seriously...What Am I Doing Here? The Adventures of a Wondering and Wandering Gay Jew [May 23, 1984 Publishing] recently offered his travel tips for BravoTV.com's new Jet Set column.
First Ken gave his take on lies travelers tell themselves, such as: "'I can't wait to experience a new place!' This sounds innocent and straightforward, right? Yes, but if you spend the entire trip snapping selfies, you risk missing the whole experience. 'With a camera, you will capture images of your journey, but you won't capture the context, which means what you saw before and after, what you were feeling, and how seeing that shiny thing made you feel. Ditch the camera for a journal and write every single evening.'"
When it came to how to get free upgrades, Ken had a lot more to say!
Interviews like these, that might not directly correlate to your book, are a great way to amp up your book marketing efforts in the run up to release date.

So, if you're looking for a halogen oven, this portable halogen oven should be at the top of your shopping list.

Unlike > someone who goes "variable interpolation is baaaaaaad". If you work in an environment where some of the developers aren't rock stars, a general rule of "doesn't use placeholders in database queries == code smell" may well be useful. My inclination would be to say that using placeholders in database queries is at a similar level to mandating use strict in all but one-liner or terrifyingly ancient code. More interesting, though: aren't bind variables also more convenient in many circumstances? I mean, sure, this is safe: if ($status eq 'foo') { $dbh->do("UPDATE table SET status='$status' WHERE id=$id"); } But I think I'd often find myself using them even if I didn't need to, just because of the printf-type convenience. For the same reason that I'll shift to printf or sprintf for complex log messages: warning(sprintf('Found grommet %s instead of expected grommet %s: %s was %s (%.2f)', $grommet, $expected_grommet, $category_thing, $category_value, $some_other_diagnostic )); rather than warning("Found grommet $grommet instead of expected grommet $expected_grommet" ." $category_thing was $category_value (" . printable_value($some_other_diagnostic) . ")"); I think the first version is more readable than the second, especially so when you start involving more complex variables. Similarly, saying $dbh->do('UPDATE table SET foo=?, bar=?, baz=? WHERE toto=? AND tata=?', ...); is IMO more readable that intermingling SQL and Perl variables. Sam -- Website: http://www.illuminated.co.uk/

Stress and anxiety are not our friends; there is no part of our being that was ever meant to thrive in their presence. Yet, they are part of life.
The question then becomes, "What do you need to change, so you can deal with whatever is happening?".
Your response?
Your approach?
Your words?
When things don't go as expected or when people don't behave in ways we'd like, we get testy.
And testy moments are defining moments, because as you choose your response, you are not only modeling behavior for those around you, you could also be driving yourself (unnecessarily) nuts.
Next time you're tested, (probably any moment now) think about what you can do to de-escalate either the situation or your reaction.
If you have no power over something, then you have no power.
If you believe this to be fact, then it is counterproductive to act in ways that suggest you can fix or change someone else. All the love in the world cannot change anyone or improve some situations.
Three-step approach:
- Accept reality.
- Don't drive yourself nuts trying to fix what you didn't break.
- Don't be a nut in a nutshell

About Blog Title...
As a child, it was one of my greatest delights to visit my grandparents in the spring when the whip-poor-wills began to call. Grandma and Grandpa lived in a remote valley of the Ozark Mountains where there were trees a plenty, and, seemingly, a whip-poor-will, or two, in each one.
My grandmother insisted that a whip-poor-will's call was not "whip-poor-will," but instead, "chip-butter-white-oak." I would listen really hard trying to hear it exactly as she said it was, but all I could hear was "whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will,..." But, I never let on to her.
I remember my grandpa watching and listening, with an amused look on his face, to one of these listening sessions. Shortly after that he began to call me, just for fun, "Chip Butter." It is a name I am proud to wear for I still love to hear that long, lonesome call on a warm summer's eve. And, sometimes, when I listen really, really hard, it seems I can hear quite clearly, "chip-butter-white-oak, chip-butter-white-oak..."

Abstract Art?
No, it's ice. A couple of days ago, when I was out early taking frosty morning pictures, I noticed that there was ice in Nell's water bucket. The ice was broken up, probably by Nell, and floating on the water. Just for the heck of it, I zoomed my lens in and took a couple of shots. Later, when I was looking at the pictures I had taken, I was completely blown away by the beautiful colors and designs I had captured .
Somewhere back in senior science, I remember something about reflecting and refracting light. There were even some strange formulas to remember, which I don't, but I am thinking those formulas must have something to do with this masterpiece of abstract art.

You Will Be Missed...
I know it is time for the show to be over, but I am never quite ready. We have been through so much together, you and I...weeks and weeks without rain, and blistering hot days, and grasshoppers... Then, when rain began to fall once again, you seemed to want to outdo yourself, to show the world how beautiful you could be. Yes, you will be missed.

Cattle Trails...
A most welcome rain has been falling today, making for a wonderful day to relax and stay inside (after the outside work was finished) where we were quite happy and content. One of our little pleasures is watching the cattle on their trail that runs behind our house. When the weather is stormy or rainy, the cattle move to the upper pastures, I assume, because of some natural instinct. They walk one behind the other, single file, in a procession. There is one cow who always goes first. I wonder how she gained this status, whether self-appointed (which I suspect), or if elected by the other cattle. Not only is it pleasurable to watch the cattle parade by, but a time to make sure the count is correct and to note the general health of each. Now, there are some exceptions to the single file rule...the calves. They often come frolicking along together, kicking up their hills in their play, usually not along side their mothers at all. They are curious, as youngsters usually are, and sometimes stop to nibble and lick on the fence. If they see us in the yard or through the windows, they stop to stare as though they enjoy watching us as much as we enjoy watching them. I am thankful that I have the camera, and they do not.
Today, the calves didn't seem to mind the rain, and took time to stare at a visitor who was parked in the driveway.
And, another decided, despite the rain, that it was time for a warm frothy drink.

Q&A with Ilan Pappé, Israeli Historian, Socialist Activist And Author
© Photo: Paula Geraghty
Q1/ You are currently launching your new title: 'The Idea of Israel: A History of Power and Knowledge', can you briefly summarise what this title examines and tell us how you came to write this book?
Israel is the only state in the world that is still obliged to brand itself domestically and internationally as a valid entity and which strives to convince itself and others that its narrative of how and why it was born is the only possible and truthful version of events. This branding effort appears in the work of scholars as well as that of filmmakers. The narrative thus is presented as both a scientific truth and as a fictional plot. The book follows this branding through the efforts in the 1990s, inside the state, to challenge its validity and morality and examines the failure of this challenge in recent years and describes its move to the outside world.
The book was written out of my ongoing interest in two themes: the history of Israel and Palestine on the one hand, and the relationship between power and knowledge on the other. The need of Israelis to prove their valid claims through scientific research as well as movie plots is a fascinating case in the history of knowledge production in the Western world. Focusing on this aspect also explains where today is the main struggle against Israel and Zionism: in the field of narration, historiography and moral debates. While Israel had the upper hand militarily and maybe diplomatically, in this area it is losing the moral ground rapidly and ominously for the Jewish State.
Q2/ How does this title differ/or build upon your other work or other books on this subject?
I was involved directly in the challenge I describe above both in books I have written such as The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine and have also written about my particular part of the struggle in Out of the Frame. It is time now to take stock and view the process so far.
Q3/ Can you tell us a bit about the process you went through when writing this title?
I have been working for five years on this book, but the main push came when Israel began the campaign Brand Israel in 2005. Suddenly I understood what I was looking for. Only when I finished the book, I realized how topical it became when the government of Israel declared that the campaign of 'delegitimisation' of the state is more dangerous to Israel than the Iranian nuclear threat.
The book also became a tribute to Edward Said who wrote in 1982 that the Palestinians have a permission to narrate their own version in their liberation struggle for their rights and self-determination. The 'permission' had been taken and the results can be seen vividly today.
Q4/ Has the novel had the kind of response that you expected it to have?
Too early to judge. But you can see the beginnings of reactions in my facebook pages here.
Join Ilan Pappé at The Mosaic Rooms 7pm, 26 February 2014, for the launch of 'The Idea of Israel: A history of power and knowledge'. Find out more here.

How To Fix A Golf Shank
Chipping is important to your game
Broadly speaking, 60% of our shots are within 60 yards of the flag when we play on the course. Most of us spend hours working on and finding golf swing tips in search of the perfect golf swing, yet we neglect the part of the game that makes us score well – chipping, pitching, sand shots and putting.
There is a shot that destroys confidence – the dreaded golf shank! This shot can plague established golfers and is common with beginners. The old wives tale says that shanking is mental. Nonsense! The shank has a physical cause – it's the second shank that is mental. It's a terrifying shot that shoots out of the hosel of the club, at nearly 90 degrees to the intended target line.
Where does a golf shank come from?
So, let me give you some swing tips to help you avoid this destructive shot. Firstly, we need to understand where a golf shank comes from. Short game shots are normally played with the shortest clubs in the bag i.e. putter, Sand wedge, Lob wedge and Pitching wedge. The club maker gives us a short shaft in order for the club to swing in a very upright plane. When we use a short club, our golf swing functions like a "Ferris wheel" – almost straight back and straight through. Consequently, our forearms have hardly any forearm rotation and this prevents the club face from rolling open in the takeaway.
With a short club in our hands, our posture should be the most defined as we "tip from the hip" to take our grip. Disaster strikes when we succumb to sitting back on our heels with slumped spinal posture. This causes us to swing too flat in the takeaway and our forearms roll the clubface wide "open". Under pressure, our forearms jam, and we present the hosel of the club to the ball – that's a golf shank!
Golf swing tip to stop shanking with Explanar
So, we need to create the perfect golf swing plane for chipping and there is no better way to do this than use the Explanar golf training aid in an upright plane and employ the short PoweRoller. To help matters, it is vital to "pull the club up your sleeve" – this makes the wedges function close to the plane of a putter. Now, the takeaway will track straight back and straight through as the hoop of Explanar absolutely stops you from a flat, rolling takeaway.
Don't think for a minute that you cannot hinge your wrists – you absolutely can! "Chipping" is non-wristy whilst "Pitching" employs wrist hinge or wrist "cock". So, here are a few golf swing tips to help your short game and avoid the dreaded "Lucy Lockett", or socket!
1. Ensure that you "pull club up your sleeve" – wedges adopt a putter "lie".
2. Don't slump – make sure your posture is well defined by tipping from the hip.
3. Allow the shoulders to create a simple "back & through" mechanism.
4. Use wrist "cock" for Pitching – keep wrists quiet for Chipping.
5. Make sure the forearms have almost no rotation in the Takeaway.
6. Don't confuse a simple chipping action with tension – stay loose to help "feel".
7. Finally, let the loft of the club lift the ball – your job is to send ball FORWARD!
Just 2 or 3 minutes a day on Explanar, using the Short PoweRoller, will transform your golf swing and shots around the green.
For more information, watch my video 'Fix a golf shank with Explanar.'
