Nothing Matters! It is so true, if I can be at peace with 'Nothing', then it matters: very zen! Emily the Strange: Philosophy and Goth in one.
Postcards are fun, in case you didn't know. They are fun to look at, they are fun to send, and they are fun to get. In the UK film series, Shooting the Past, there is a company that houses pictures, hundreds of thousands of pictures, and the pictures connect things, create stories, connect stories, connect history.
Someone asked on a comment, "Where do I get the postcards", some are donations, though most donations of postcards are postcards of not high enough quality to be used. But mostly it is finding them, and buying them one by one. And to do that, after I have to make personal relations with individuals over the net, so I email several times a person in Japan which sells me a set of Ghibli postcards, which are only for sale in Japan, and now not in print. Where DID I get that postcard of women trying on swimsuits made out of wood? Yaoi postcards come from collectors, or from the companies themselves if I have a friend I email there. Hello Kitty, again from Japan, while some airplane ones come from the States, from Stamp collectors, or postcard collectors or train collectors, or books, now out of print, of California, or Earth from Above. And thus, one by one do 51 postcards from last weekend get assembled.
There are useful lessons in postcards, like: 'Try not to have too many undead friends' or 'Goth Girls should be nicer to their bunnies'
The postcard is about interests, or memories, or sensual, sexual, identity, loves or pleasing to the eye, or mind, or to the tongue firmly planted in the cheek.
And the postcard is sometimes about dreams or goals or just places to be that aren't here and rainy, or snow filled, or hot or dull. Because even living in the place everyone wants to live, like Banff, gets dull quickly (of course your dull 'here' is someone else's exotic 'there'). Like up on the Queen Charlottes, nothing like eagles constantly on the road pecking at road kill to make jogging difficult, "Shoo, you bald eagles, shoo! Oh great, here comes some more deer."
These days, most days, I am good at nothing, which means I'm not lazy, I'm just practicing my philosophy.

January 27, 2011
The way the Phantoms were playing, especially
in the first period, one would have easily thought
the Phantoms would be the team to pull away with
a big victory. 25 shots on goal in the first and
53 shots in the game for an offense that was really
clicking and seemed in good shape. But Bridgeport
was able to notch some key goals on their counter-attacks
while Kevin Poulin made 51 saves on his end allowing
the visiting Sound Tigers to come out with a surprising
6-2 decision.
Tom Sestito (9th) and Harry Zolnierczyk (6th)
scored the goals for Adirondack. For "Harry
Z", it was his first game at the Glens Falls
Civic Center since October 29 after playing his
last 34 games with the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Phantoms equaled the most shots in a period
of any AHL team this year with their 25 blasts
in the opening period. Portland also had a 25
shot period in November. And their 53 shots in
the game were the second most in the AHL this
season only to Wilkes-Barre's 54 shot attack in
November. But the young Bridgeport goaltender,
Poulin, was very good and occasionally tremendous
in thwarting the constant rushes of the Adirondack
Phantoms and earning #1 Star of the Game honors.
The Sound Tigers continued their incredible turnaround
and extended their point-streak to 10 games since
the beginning of the new year. Bridgeport is the
hottest team in the league at 9-0-1 in January
after a dismal 2-10 record in December and they
have gone from worst to first in the Northeast
Division. Connecticut lost in overtime to Wilkes-Barre
to extend their equally surprising losing streak
to 10 games at 0-5-5 thus allowing Bridgeport
to move into a first-place tie with the Whale
in the tight Northeast Division race.
The Phantoms, in the meanwhile, stayed tied for
third in the division with Albany who lost and
they remain within close striking distance of
the two teams at the top. Adirondack with 44 points
at 21-20-2 trails the division leading Sound Tigers
and Whale by only three points.
Poulin almost seemed to have some extra limbs
on some of his miraculous saves of the 24 total
stops in the opening frame. Tom Sestito took a
Mike Testwuide pass on a quick rush into the zone
and quickly moved it to his backhand for a superior
angle on Poulin to give the Phantoms the 1-0 lead
late in the first period.
It felt like the Phantoms were ready to bust the
game open at that point as they kept coming and
coming at the Bridgeport net. But the Sound Tigers
were able to keep it close and then eventually
countered with 1:07 left in the first period when
an Aaron Ness shot would be neatly redirected
over the right shoulder of Michael Leighton by
Justin DiBenedetto to tie the score at 1-1.
Bridgeport's adjustments in the first period appeared
to make the difference while Adirondack got called
for a couple key penalties early in the second
including a tripping call against Zolnierczyk
which the Phantoms took issue with. The Sound
Tigers scored back-to-back power play goals on
strikes by Jeremy Colliton and Jon Landry in opening
up a 3-1 advantage less than five minutes into
the period.
The score would remain 3-1 for the rest of the
second period and the continually escalating chippiness
and nastiness would come to a boil at the final
buzzer with Ben Holmstrom dropping the gloves
with Kael Mouillierat of Bridgeport with Michael
Haley of the Sound Tigers jumping in as a third
man and taking a penalty.
Everything seemed all lined up for the Phantoms'
to begin their comeback with the full power play
to begin the third as they hoped to cut into the
Sound Tigers' 3-1 lead. But it would be rookie
Casey Cizikas poking away a puck at the Adirondack
line springing Trevor Frischmon on a quick shorthanded
breakaway which he would convert to stun the Phantoms
and the crowd.
Harry Zolnierczyk quickly got it back right after
the power play had ended on a nice give across
the slot by Mike Testwuide and just two minutes
into the third, it was a two goal game again at
But another breakaway, this one from Tyler McNeely,
would allow the Sound Tigers to open a 5-2 lead
at the six minute mark of the third. And Casey
Cizikas would poke in a rebound a few minutes
later for the last score of the night.
Michael Leighton went the distance for the Phantoms
in a gutty performance on the tough night in what
could be his last game before heading to Atlantic
City for the AHL All-Star Classic on Monday.
Bridgeport took a three games to two lead in the
season series with the win. Adirondack dominated
the shots on goal department 53-35 and have now
outshot their opponents in nine of the last ten
Bridgeport went 3-for-7 on the power play while
the Phantoms were 1-for-3. Bridgeport and Adirondack
meet one more time in 2011-12, in Bridgeport at
Webster Bank Arena on February 18.
Scratches for the Phantoms included Garrett Klotz,
Matt Walker and Cullen Eddy.
The Phantoms have one more game before the All-Star
Break. Adirondack travels to Albany for a Saturday
game at 5:00 against the Devils in the continuation
of the Time Warner Cable Cup rivalry. The Phantoms
lead their Northway rivals three games to two
thus far in the season series but are seeking
their first win in the Times Union Center.
Adirondack's next home games are next Friday and
Saturday against Norfolk and Providence back-to-back.

An April court date that may move extradition forward for the Las Vegas Strip shooting suspect was scheduled during a hearing that also confirmed his identity.
Prosecutors were successful in confirming the identity of Ammar Harris, who had a hearing Thursday in connection to his arrest for the deadly Feb. 21 shooting and resultant crash on the Strip.
The hearing took place in Los Angeles Superior Court following his arrest in Studio City, Calif. on Feb. 28
According to court officials, photos and fingerprints verified the person arrested last month as Harris, the person sought for the deaths of three people.
The judge in the extradition proceedings set an April 12 court date to verify if a warrant was signed off by Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval that will arrange for his transport to Las Vegas.

A Walton County judge has sentenced Steven Cozzie to death for the 2011 murder of 15-year-old Toombs girl Courtney Wilkes.
Cozzie showed no emotion as the judge read the sentence, but Cozzie's family broke down in tears.
A few rows back, Wilkes' parents embraced each other, then those around them.
Wilkes was on vacation with her family in the Florida panhandle when she was killed.
Her parents say the sentence gives them a little more closure, but they didn't take joy in it.
"I am relieved, but there are no winners here today," said Toni Wilkes, Courtney's mother. "We lost Courtney and we started serving our sentence two years and four months ago. I pray for our family, I pray for his family, but we have no winners today."

com.couchbase.client.protocol.views.Query and numeric keys
Not sure if I found a bug, or if it was by design, or I'm using the java client API incorrectly. I wanted to perform a range query using numeric keys and kept getting empty collections. When I tested the corresponding numeric values in the web UI it worked fine. Seems all key value pairs are treated as strings wrapped with double quotes when the getArgs method is invoked in the Query object. I applied an incomplete/quick fix on a local copy of the SDK on my local. Below are the changes referenced in the Query class that helped me out with the range query.
changed the args member to:
private Map args;
altered the setRange method to:
public Query setRange(Object startkey, Object endkey) {
args.put(ENDKEY, endkey);
args.put(STARTKEY, startkey);
return this;
altered the getArgs method to:
private String getArg(String key, Object value) {
// Special case
if (key.equals(STARTKEYDOCID)) {
return key + "=" + value;
} else if (value instanceof Stale) {
return key + "=" + ((Stale) value).toString();
} else if (StringUtils.isJsonObject(value.toString())) {
return key + "=" + value.toString();
} else {
if(value instanceof String){
return key + "=\"" + value + "\"";
return key + "=" + String.valueOf(value);

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) --
People are spending money on Christmas gifts, but that's not the only thing people are paying for this time of year. Many are paying their property taxes.
December and January are when most property owners pay their property taxes, and there is a reason some pay now and others pay later. Stevens Point Comptroller-Treasurer Corey Laddick says it depends on your tax strategy. "As long as you pay it by December 31st, then you can deduct it on your 2013 income taxes, so that's the main reason why people would pay their taxes a little bit earlier than they have to."
Most municipalities still allow you to stop in and pay taxes in person, but Laddick says more and more communities are expanding the use of technology to make paying more convenient. "One option we have that's become a lot more popular is the automatic withdrawal option. We just need people to set it up the first time with us. Fill out a real simple piece of paper to have it automatically withdrawn out of your checking account, and then you can continue to do that every year."
Laddick says they get most of the property tax payments in December and January, with about the same number of people stopping in each month.

Moderate Everything
Hi I'm researching using buddy press for a kids site and one of our requirement is to moderate all content submitted. I'm assuming this can be achieved through the usual WP users settings for blog posts and discussion comment settings, however I'm not sure how comments between users and groups works in BP.
I haven't found any documentation on this specific issue so I don't know if I missed it or not.

A gorgeous tale of love, loss and making sense of the past. The characters could have been wooden stereotypes, but instead are filled with energy and life. Readers will be curious about Meg's true origins, but will understand her mother's fanciful tales when all is revealed.
After a childhood filled with tall tales about her upbringing — her father was a chef who died in a pastry accident, Meg was such a small baby they put her on the windowsill to grow — Meg May just wants the truth about her past. She was made fun of for believing these stories, which drove Meg to believe in science and other things that could be absolutely proven. With her mother terminally ill, Meg is on a mission to discover the truth about her past, even if her mother is not willing or able to share. (SOURCEBOOKS, Apr., 352 pp. $14.99)

i'm off to a charity gala tonight for dress for success. not familiar with dress for success? they're a non-profit organization that provides interview suits, confidence boosts, and career development assistance to low-income women. they're active in over 75 cities, and i really believe in their mission wholeheartedly.
the theme of the gala is beach chic, which is a lot harder to pull off than it sounds! especially as a new yorker who dresses in black unless she's actually ON the beach. how does one dress up … while still looking beach appropriate? i tried on just about everything in my closet that is even remotely appropriate, and here are some of the ideas that i came up with!
the casual beach chic look is pretty easy to pull off. you just need a floral maxi dress, a tiered maxi dress, a wedge of some sort – cork or something natural, and maybe a fancy floppy hat to top it off. you could even get away with wearing flat sandals with this if you were actually going to say a beach wedding or something of that nature. a lot of these items can be found in the xoxo nettaP shop!
some folks are a little more into pants, and that's totally ok! if you're going to a beach chic gala and it's not quite beachy outside yet (like here in NYC), then pants might be a better option. take your jacket off once you get inside, and voila! beach chic! a statement necklace can really dress up this look, too. and i love the idea of doing it with a ruffled top.
if you're gonna get REALLY fancy, then you need to fancy up your accessories, too, and go for a shoe that's more of a solid look. these all-cork-look wedges would work great because they're understated. the black heels from kate spade are not too fancy, but they bring the color combo all together with the bauble on top. i'd carry a raffia clutch or, if you need a strap, something like this one made of straw.
there are LOTS of options for a beach gala, and if you don't have these items already in your wardrobe – you can easily purchase one piece that can be worn over and over again to these types of summer events. most of these items can be found in the xoxo netta P shop. if you're looking for some fancy floppy hats – there's a post coming on that soon, too!

Former Felicity star Keri Russell heard some noises around 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning coming from the upper floor of her Brooklyn Heights brownstone. She got up to investigate the disturbance that had woken her up, and found a window in her living room and her front door wide open.
Keri Russell got burglarized! I wonder if the crooks knew they were in a celebrity's home? And that she was sleeping just a room or two over? The actress, who's currently working on the FX series, The Americans, reported to the police that the thieves made off with a laptop computer, a necklace, earrings, and a Filson handbag.
I don't know what a Filson handbag is, but I'm going to assume it's posh, since it's a "handbag" and not a dowdy old "purse."
Anyway, police arrested two men a few blocks away, after attempting another burglary -- this time the residence of a non-famous 70-year-old white woman. The woman described the men, and they picked them up nearby and took them in for questioning.
The NYPD got Keri's stuff back for her, and delivered it personally to the set of The Americans.
While on the show set, Russell told The New York Post, "The New York City cops were awesome. They're bringing my stuff back right now — when does that ever happen?!" Um, probably whenever cops have a chance to meet famous pretty actresses, Keri. Just a wild guess.
Russell's rep said, "Everyone is fine, and Keri sends her thanks to the police. She returned to work on The Americans today."
All's well that ends well, and I'm glad the robbers got caught.
Have you ever been burglarized?

We had some dimwit steal change out of my husbands car and the neighbors car. My husband always has a cup holder filled with loose change, I guess some men leave it on the dresser, some leave it in the car. He noticed one morning the passenger door was ajar and the change was missing and there were pennies all over the driveway like the idiot who took it couldn't quite carry it all and was dropping some. We really didn't care about the change but it's unsettling that someone invaded your personal space.

Mark Blewett
1986 was a vintage year for the Tour de France as it saw two legends of the sport – Greg LeMond and Bernhard Hinault – go head to head in the battle to win the greatest of all the Grand Tours. This dramatic tête-à-tête inspired the then-16 year old Mark Blewett to emulate his heroes by taking to a life on two wheels – a decision that would shape his entire life, see him make the pro-peloton himself, and eventually give rise to SwiftCarbon in 2008.
Mark combines his first hand experience as a former professional road racer with an industrial design education, and a deep-rooted love of cycling. Although he never achieved the lofty heights of his heroes, his achievements – leading his country as South Africa was welcomed back to the global sporting stage after the isolation years, notching up some impressive results against many of the big names in the early 90s, and racing as a professional in Portugal – helped inspire and open the door for the current generation of South African riders.
After he hung up his race number, Mark worked in textiles between Asia and South Africa whilst his passion for cycling never waivered. During a business trip to China he visited a bike shop in the city of Xiamen and discovered that it is the home to one of the biggest producers of carbon fibre bikes in the world. This fortuitous find gave rise to a moment of inspired ambition and SwiftCarbon was born.
Mark chose to live in Xiamen so he could literally get his hands dirty overseeing the development, production and quality control of SwiftCarbon's bikes. No other company owner has quite the same hands-on approach and this is indicative of the company's unique philosophy. Mark tests in the hills surrounding his adopted home, combining his hard-earned professional racing experience and his desire to succeed into every SwiftCarbon bike.
"We're not a big company," explains Mark, "but we're smart, lean, agile and competitive. Just like our bikes."

Thinker ready to be unleashed upon the world,
This conversation is closed.
Is the world really going to sit back and watch as these peaceful protesters in Turkey are attacked by police with chemical weapons?
Peaceful protesters are being attacked with chemical weapons and RUN OVER by swat vehicles. Is this not worthy of help from the world? Is it possible that respect can be worth more than a resource that we readily fight for at the drop of a hat? Why are human rights being ignored? Peaceful protest meets non-peaceful police and the world just stands by and watches. Where is this right? Do our leaders have any morals? We intervene whenever a resource is in the equation.

Blade RunnerJun 6 2013: By Jah.....
10 hours ago: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_Jihad_mean
"The greatest tyrants today are those who prefer the rule of man over the laws of God (Sharia law). Jihad and the establishment of Sharia law on earth are the only two things which will unite all people, of all races, and rid the world of oppression, poverty and corruption for good."
Well Jah..................read the Islamic 'propaganda' on that link you put up and the aforementioned is the last para of the post on the link page and as far as I'm concerned Sharia Law is the biggest growing tyranny facing this planet today and anybody advocating Sharia law via Jihad is a terrorist in my book!
And further suggest your link only gave the 'sugar coated' version of Jihad as opposed to the 'hardcore' version.
Comment deleted
Blade RunnerJun 8 2013: Hi Juan......................suggest this covers your concerns ...................
.."Taqiyya and Kitman"
Jun 8 2013: I see your point. To quote Vladimir Putin, "They see us as dust."
They have no concept of how seriously we in the west despise liars. If they can't see at least a 'measured-diplomatic TRUTH' as the price of membership in worldwide civilization; I see a difficult future for them.
I say more in my post below.
Jun 7 2013: That was simply to point out that the meaning of the world is not commonly known and is generally misused and misunderstood. I struggle trying to teach people. That does not mean i hurt or kill them when they do not learn or refuse to listen. I don't commit jihad as you would say. Jihad is simply a struggle outsiders of the religion associate with violence when it is a personal struggle. Psychically, mentally, and emotionally.
Jun 8 2013: Well Jah.....I beg to differ with you on that point and suggest the word 'jihad' is quite well known and understood in the West and the West has felt the brunt of Jihad many a time.
And lets be clear about this.................yes, there is the personal NON violent jihad struggle and then there is also the TOTALLY violent jihad struggle against the non believers.
Oh and then we have.....................Taqiyya and Kitman..................
Like to enlighten our boys and girls herein as to what that entails..............???
Seeing I detect a hesitancy on your behalf, so let me help out with this link...............
Isn't education great! :)
Jah Kable
Jun 7 2013: I agree. They just never give up.
The recently released NSA order to collect all data and filter it to find these terrorists will work. It's been going on for over 7 years now and they haven't come to get me yet. I guess I passed the test. :)
Without communication, there is no Jihad. Without bank accounts there is no Jihad. Without weapons, the terrorist will simply have to go back to beating their wives and rattling their sabres in order to exhort how strong and manly they are.
The one thing that Islamic don't understand is our commitment to preventing their violence and wife beating from becoming part of the social structure of western democracy. Democratic Jihad is stronger than terrorist Jihad.
The democratic Jihad being launched by NSA at this moment will demonstrate our commitment, motivation and ability to bring them to their knees.
Decent honest folk have nothing to fear from this battle that is in full swing and picking up the pace.
Jun 8 2013: I see your point. So really? Why should we hesitate? I've always found FEAR to be a great virtue in those who deserve to feel it. And I see no fear in the hearts of my Comrades.
To quote Vladimir Putin, "They see us as dust."
They have no concept of how seriously we in all Civilized Nations -- despise liars. If they can't see at least a 'measured-diplomatic TRUTH' as the price of membership in worldwide civilization; I see a difficult future for them.
Furthermore, they misinterpret their own willingness to engage in deception and violence as strength. There is a solution for that. Yes, I see!
If you will notice, there is no longer a legitimate NAZI (Aryan-national socialist) party left anywhere on Earth. There is no conservative 'wing' or liberal 'wing' of the Nazi party anywhere. Adolph Hitler and his ideas were TERMINATED! so-to-speak. Saddam Hussein and his sons were TERMINATED! The Ba'athist party has been TERMINATED! in Iraq.
We have proven ourselves NOT to be the cowards they suspected us of being in Afghanistan. And for as long as they think they can 1) lie to us; and 2) kill us -- I perceive that as a serious mistake. And I think that everyone agrees with me on that point. Although not everyone will say it --
Only ONE nation on this Earth has ever used Atomic Weapons to end a military conflict. Only ONE. That nation built/tested one nuclear bomb to prove that it could be done. The next two bombs that were built were used to TERMINATE a conflict.
The above is a horrible way to illustrate my point: But to quote Rodney King: "Why can't we all just get along?" If things continue as they have thus far, one day we will either 1) run out of options, or 2) just flat-out run out of patience. And we all need to think about that! I can think of a solution for that. So can every leader of every NATO allied nation. They all see the same problem. Might they one day all see the same SOLUTION!
Jun 8 2013: Does this help you any to see the big picture?
Jun 11 2013: "...We have proven ourselves NOT to be the cowards they suspected us of being in Afghanistan. And for as long as they think they can 1) lie to us; and 2) kill us -- I perceive that as a serious mistake. And I think that everyone agrees with me on that point. Although not everyone will say it -- And I consider myself 'Liberal' in most of my political ideas..."
There is no mistake if you kill everyone. That way there are no distractors to the event. the winner gets to rewrite history and leave out your part in it
Of course such mindset could arise again in the future unless satisfactory cleaning methods are used to complete the total extermination.
Going another way, require we take into our bosom, the ideas and philosophies of the other side. Merge them with our own. Make them brothers and sister of a different ideal.

Two more Canes are headed to the NBA: Durand Scott to San Antonio and Kenny Kadji to Cleveland
Shane Larkin, Jim Larranaga and Durand Scott named ACC Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, respectively.
A look around the nation at what the headlines are saying after the Miami Hurricanes won the 2013 ACC Tournament title Sunday in Greensboro.
Watch each of Durand Scott's 32 points from Saturday's ACC Tournament Semifinal vs. NC State
The ACC's Defensive Player of the Year says he gets himself ready for games by cleaning his room. Learn more about the senior guard from the Bronx…
Durand Scott joins Danny Kanell and Reese Waters on "ESPN UNite" on Tuesday to talk a little Canes basketball.
Durand writes about camper Kobe at the Jim Larranaga basketball camp last week.
"This is Kobe. He's a camper at the Jim Larranaga University of Miami basketball camp that I currently work. Today he brought tears to my eyes. Kobe has diabetes, poor hearing which makes him wear two hearing aids, and causes difficulty of speech. For a kid to come to camp as enthused as he does everyday as helped me to realize life is to precious for one to greave over. Today upon dismissal Kobe ran to me with his arms open ready for a hug and said "goodbye Durand Scott, your a super star" & as I picked him up with a tight hug a tear of joy ran down my face 😢 Now that's life for you …."
Scouting the Miami/West Virginia Matchup: WVU Coliseum, 7 P.M.
When the West Virginia Mountaineers take the floor tonight at the WVU Coliseum (7 p.m., ESPN2), they will face a Miami roster full of unfamiliar faces and new contributors. But for one Mountaineer, tonight's contest against the Hurricanes may very well feel like another day on the playground.
Darryl "Truck" Bryant, one of the team's most talented guards, will be facing off against childhood friend and former AAU teammate Durand Scott for just the second time in their collegiate careers. Bryant and Scott, two members of a self-named clique titled "F4L" (Family 4 Life), also include former UConn guard Kemba Walker and Drexel standout Chris Fouch among their tightknit group.
Though they will be forever connected by the "F4L" tattoos they share, Saturday night's game will be business as usual for two of the more talented guards in college basketball.
Bryant, averaging 15.2 points per game in his senior campaign for the Mountaineers, keys an offensive attack averaging just over 77 points per game through seven contests in 2011. Fellow senior and Preseason All-BIG EAST First Team selection Kevin Jones (21.3 points per game, 11.7 rebounds per game) is a 6-foot-8 forward who leads the charge for a team ranked No. 22 nationally in rebound margin (+8.2).
The Hurricanes, who edged out the Mountaineers 79-76 in last season's contest at the BankUnited Center, return only two active scorers from their 2010 battle with West Virginia. If Miami plans to leave the WVU Coliseum with a similar result, they'll need to limit opportunities for Bryant (20 points last year) and Jones (14 points, five rebounds).
Sophomore center Kenny Kadji and junior guard Durand Scott speak to the media after Tuesday's 71-54 loss to No. 21 Memphis at the BankUnited Center.
Head coach Frank Haith, Adrian Thomas and Durand Scott meet with the media after their 81-72 win over Missouri State in the second round of the NIT.

We rented another Mercedes Sprinter van. 6 bucket seats, a bench in back to sleep on, and massive storage for all of our gear. It's perfect for our band. We use our iphones for navigating, we're good, no worries.
We made great time getting to Houston. I drove 500 miles, Ryan 400, Joel did the rest. Checked into a Four Seasons, and had some chill time before heading over to the House of Blues, just around the corner. The whole thing was set up well. Thank you John McCally.
Our show was great, 11 tune set that we rocked. The crowd got into it and as always is the case, everyone loved Coffee Pot as a closer. Many thanks to all that helped us in Houston. House of Blues people are always friendly, helpful, and professional. We will rock Houston again. It was a first time visit for all of us.
We also took with us, Sean Nunan. Sean bonded with us and it appears he will be our new sound guy for all of our shows. He made a huge difference. We were loud, but it was a full balanced sound. I wish I could have been a fan to listen to TFB. I think we sounded amazing. Sean is a real professional who is smart and easy to be with. In my journey, I have always felt that either I get sent to people or they get sent to me. Sean was sent to us by the universe. I believe that.
Another warm experience is that I reconnected with a friend I haven't seen in decades. Julie Lewis Brown. We go back a long way and she came to the show with her son Alex. Was a wonderful reconnect. What was also fun…I knew the music would blow her away. It did. She had no idea. No doubt there are a lot more out there like her. Doesn't it feel good when you see someone you once cared a lot about and years later find nothing has changed? Thank you Julie. I dedicated Freedom to her that night and I heard her scream!:) A feel good.
Our friend Heather Smith from Atlanta was there too. Heather is great and we were all really happy to see her. Heather does a lot of PR work for TFB and seeing her was great. Bravo Heather, thank you for coming.
After the show we hung out at a bar right by House of Blues. I can't remember the name. But we had a good time. Rock band after a cool show hanging out with the locals. I eventually bailed and went back to the hotel, was pretty tired. Besides, we needed to head to Dallas the next day and one us of needed to be up and with it. I voted that would be me.:)
Dallas rocks!!!!!!!!!! I've been to Dallas many times and have always had a good time. Always. People there are friendly and fun.
So we pull up to the Gas Monkey Bar & Grill and could not believe it. An outdoor stage right next to a lake on a mildly hot day with no clouds. We had driven though a few storms, so when it all moved out, was a perfect night for a rock show.
Sean took the lead and made sure all the sound was right. We also modified what we were going to wear, because of how nice it was outside.
We played for an hour, rocked it out, met new friends, and had a blast. Many thanks to all at the Gas Monkey especially Danielle, who was our hostess. She was great. Also big thanks to Fred and Cowboy Mouth. Let's do it again.
The drive home was priceless. Because we had Sean with us, we were able to make our Sprinter a tech mobile. If you haven't already, you should really listen to the radio show I did with John Lewis. It turned out great as an acoustic 9 tune show. The ones I picked were meant to highlight my wide variety of music as a writer. Some old favorites were included like Dare to Love. Go to tomfullerband.com and you can click the links to hear it. I think it turned out great.
Anyway, the band and I were able to hear it live in the Sprinter we were riding in. How cool is that? Radio show broadcast from London and we listen to it. Was a heart warming experience for me and I know John Lewis. In fact, I asked him. When was the last time you heard yourself on the radio from London? Pretty cool
So that high, then led to watching the Chicago Blackhawks on the big screen in the van. We were bummed that we wouldn't see the game because we were driving. But Sean said, let's go to Wal-Mart and buy the cable we need. We did, smart move. We saw the Blackhawks lose a tough one, but we saw it. Cool. Our next van trip with Sean will be just as much fun. Thank God for trail mix, water, and tunes.
OK, almost done. June is finishing all the videos, cameos, and whatever else needs to be done on the videos. Every week has something happening and I am all over it. Will be filming all day tomorrow, I can't wait. The 11 videos are so important! So June is closure month. Hoping too, the same applies to the Graphic Novel. That too is really cool and coincides with the album and video.
Everyone have a great June and as always, stay tuned for more TFB happenings.
God Bless,

20 great gift coupon ideas
These will be greatly appreciated by your holiday recipients, and most will cost you nothing more than your time.
This post comes from Mikey Rox at partner blog Wise Bread.
If you're minding your budget this holiday season -- and who isn't? -- you might be looking for creative ways to give gifts that have meaning but won't break the bank. The following 20 gift coupon ideas are the answer, and they work for just about anybody on your list.
Plus, one of the great things about gift coupons is that while they're free for you, the services they provide have real value, so recipients will feel that they're receiving a thoughtful and worthwhile gift despite its lack of tangible heft. Take a look, and then let me know some of yours in the comments below.
1. Baby-sitting
Every parent needs a night off every now and then. If you have friends (or a friend -- single parents probably need a break more than anybody) with kids, give them baby-sitting coupons that they can use whenever they need a breather. Make sure you stipulate on the coupon that you'll need advance notice so you can avoid being called upon at the 11th hour to fulfill your promise.
2. Pet-sitting
As a proud pet parent who likes to travel, I'm often in need of a pet sitter for a day or two. I would definitely like to receive one of these coupons so I can save the $100 per night it costs me to board both my dogs.
3. Winter dog walking
I would love to receive this coupon from my husband so I can use it on one of those blustery, blizzardy mornings when I can't seem to pull myself out of bed.
4. Home-cooked meal
When the recipient of this coupon is in need of a little TLC in food form, he or she can hand it over for a comforting breakfast, lunch or dinner.
5. Massage
Give your significant other a coupon for a 10- to 20-minute massage that he or she can redeem on a day when work was especially stressful.
6. Car wash
Everybody feels better in a shiny, sparkly car, so give this coupon to a friend or relative who lives nearby. Suggest to them that this coupon is perfect to turn in before a big date or other special event.
7. Takeout run
You and your roommate want to order from your favorite restaurant but it doesn't deliver. Who's going to pick it up? That decision is made easier with a coupon redeemable for a takeout run.
8. Movie night
There are some Friday nights when I just want to sit home, curl up on the couch with my hubby, and watch a couple movies while noshing on snacks. If that sounds appealing to someone you love, give them a coupon for a relaxing evening watching great flicks with their favorite movie buddy.
9. Résumé review
Provide a coupon for a résumé review to a friend who's in the middle of a job search. It's ideal, of course, if you have the actual skills to review and revise a résumé; you don't want to do more harm than good with your coupon.
10. Lawn mowing
I don't know about you, but I hate mowing the lawn, so this is another coupon I'd love to receive from a friend (if I had a lawn to mow). It goes without saying that you should probably know what you're doing before you hand over this coupon if only so you don't butcher your friend's yard.
11. Garden weeding
My grandmother used to guilt me into helping her weed the garden when I was a teenager. I wish I had thought of giving her a coupon for that service.
12. Pool cleaning
If you plan to give a pool owner a coupon for a cleaning, make sure you include the caveat that it's only a light cleaning -- skimming the top, vacuuming the bottom, and cleaning out the filters. Otherwise you might be expected to do much more work than you bargained for.
13. Exercise partner
Like many people, I need a workout buddy to stay motivated at the gym. That's why this coupon is sort of a gift to yourself if you need someone by your side, too.
14. Do someone else's chores
If your spouse or roommate typically does a certain set of chores like cleaning the bathroom or washing the dishes, give them a coupon that lets them off the hook for one session.
15. Breakfast in bed
Treat your mom or significant other to a breakfast-in-bed coupon. When the coupon is turned in, go all out for the breakfast by making their favorite dish (perhaps you can even provide a menu), pairing it with a mimosa, presenting it on a nice tray and finishing it off with a single flower in a small vase or glass.
16. A leisurely bath
Who doesn't like a nice long soak after a hard day in the dead of winter? When this coupon is redeemed, run a warm bubble bath and outfit the bathroom with a few other luxuries like a soft robe, a favorite magazine and a glass of wine.
17. Small-space organization
Create this coupon for spaces like the recipient's desk, car, or closet. Avoid the urge to be a hero. Don't agree to organize spaces like the garage; you could get in way over your head.
18. Control of the TV remote
This might be my favorite coupon on the entire list. I mean, how many times a week do you want to snatch the remote out of your honey's hand so you can watch what you want to watch? He or she probably feels the same way when you have it.
19. Cuddle time
A coupon for cuddle time is a win for both parties, in my opinion. Get your snuggle on.
20. Creative service
If you're good at a creative service -- like graphic design -- create coupons specifically geared toward what the recipients might want. For instance, give your friend with kids a coupon for custom-made birthday invitations. It'll be a nice gift for the recipient, and it's something brand new to add to your portfolio. Good deal.
Have even more ideas on free coupons to give this holiday season? Let me know in the comments below.

Tom Hardy, one of Hollywood's most promising up-and-coming actors, is about to appear in the biggest film of his career: The Dark Knight Rises. Though not a household name just yet, expect that to change when the film exponentially increases his star power. Audiences around the world are eager to see how the young British actor performs as Bane, the primary villain in The Dark Knight Rises, and on July 20th we will get the chance.
Yet to say Tom Hardy has big shoes to fill would be a massive understatement. He's following in the footsteps of Heath Ledger, who not only won an Oscar for his portrayal of The Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight, but also crafted one of the best on screen villains of all time. Ledger set the bar so high that many doubt Hardy will be able to deliver a more impressive villain.
That being said, Hardy is surely aware of this. Director Christopher Nolan knows this as well. Warner Bros. knows this and everyone working on the film knows this. We all know that Ledger gave a legendary performance and that audiences have extraordinary expectations of Hardy. If one remembers, though, many had doubts as to whether Ledger would deliver back in 2008, and as previously stated, we all know how that turned out.
Personally, I love Tom Hardy, but at first, I too felt skeptical. Like so many others, I wondered if Hardy could live up to Ledger and make Bane as memorable as The Joker. Though not fully convinced at first, the recent marketing blitz from Warner Bros – including photos, footage, and promotional material – has me thinking that Hardy may truly have what it takes.
In fact, I'm even at the point where I'm asking myself the following question: Can Tom Hardy expect an Oscar for The Dark Knight Rises?
For those still unfamiliar with Tom Hardy, he's an actor of incredible pedigree. He broke out with 2009′s Bronson and started his rise to fame with 2010′s Inception. Since then, he's been on a roll: 2011 saw him give two very fine performances in Warrior and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy; this year, we've seen him charm with This Means War, we're looking forward to his lead role in John Hillcoat's Lawless, and of course, he's aiming to break the bat in The Dark Knight Rises. Looking ahead, the actor is attached to tons of projects and his profile seems to rise further every day.
Now, if you've seen any of the aforementioned films you'll know why this man is so impressive, but furthermore, he's a remarkable talent because of what he had to overcome to get to where he is. For those that don't know, Hardy battled alcoholism and a crack cocaine addiction and spent time in rehab. He didn't always have it easy, and his career path wasn't always set out for him. He worked hard to get to where he is today.
Click below to continue reading.Next
That aside, based on his acting talent alone, the man deserves a little golden statue. I found his work to be exceptional in both Bronson and Warrior, and though his part in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was vastly overshadowed by Gary Oldman's work in the lead role, he still delivered strongly.
Of course, he also stole just about every scene from Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception as well. Like I said above, Hardy deserves an Oscar, and make no mistake, by the end of his acting career he will have one. The question on my mind though is whether he can get one for The Dark Knight Rises. Nolan directed Heath Ledger to one in The Dark Knight but can he do the same for Hardy?
Heath Ledger turned in what was not just the greatest performance in a comic-book film ever, but one of the best supporting actor performances in recent memory. It was breathtaking to see what he did with the role. He shocked everyone and silenced those who doubted him. As I mentioned before, when he was first announced for the role, many were skeptical.
The same can be said for Hardy; the actor knows how much pressure is mounting on him and because of that, he's going to give it his all. We can already see that he's undergone a tremendous physical transformation – something Ledger did for the Joker – and his commitment and dedication to the role is definitely there.
Granted, he hasn't "disappeared" into the character as much as Ledger did, but he can still hardly be described as 'recognizable.' That alone though won't do it for Hardy. The actor has another ace up his sleeve that is going to push him closer to the Oscar podium: Christopher Nolan.
Nolan seems to have created a compelling role for Hardy, just like he did for Ledger. Bane won't be just any comic book villain; I expect Nolan's incarnation of the character will be similar to what he came up with for the Joker.
Ledger played a terrifying psychopath who was made all the more terrifying because Nolan built the character as someone who, simply put, executes evil just to observe the consequences. He's anarchic for his own amusement. His very presence on screen induced a sense of sheer dread, similar to what audiences feel with classic villains like Hannibal Lecter. The Joker, as Nolan created him, is truly a frightening character.
A lot of the fear that the Joker exudes come from his mysterious background as well. The Joker offers some minor insights but for the most part, Nolan played it vague. We never really got an origin story and we don't know why he is the way he is. All we know is that he exists, and as the film progresses, we see that he exists because Batman exists. He needs Batman and Batman needs the Joker. That's why their struggle is so compelling.
Anarchy and chaos were what the Joker represented, and he was entirely unpredictable. He had no values or broader objectives other than anarchy and destruction.
I believe that Nolan will give us something similar with Bane, a villain so foreign to our own experience that we, as the audience, cannot grasp him; instead, we shall feel disoriented and truly frightened. That's why the Joker worked so well as a villain, and I believe Bane will be similar in that regard. He differs greatly from the Joker, of course, but I think that those same things that made the Joker so terrifying will be there with Bane, albeit slightly varied.
I digress. My point is that Tom Hardy is going to have a very meaty role to sink his teeth into, and with his acting chops bringing Nolan's incarnation to life, he may find himself with an Oscar, or at least a nomination.
Many have argued that Ledger's Oscar win only occurred because of his untimely death. And while those circumstances likely played a part, it really was his achievement in acting that the Academy honored that night. They weren't honouring the man for his tragedy, but rather the performance that transformed him into one of the most frightening villains in movie history.
To sum it up, here's what it comes down to: Yes, there will be comparisons between Hardy and Ledger. It's inevitable. But in the end, it's not a question of who's the better villain. Hardy himself put it best in a recent interview when he said:
It's not a question of whose talent is greater or whose work is greater. It's just trying to be the best that we can be, rather then trying to be better then somebody else. I'm not trying to be better than somebody else. What he did was amazing. That's that. I've got a part I've got to play, and I want to play my part.
It's likely that Ledger's performance will overshadow Hardy's, but come Oscar season, voters' minds shouldn't be thinking like that. Hardy, while still more or less a rookie in his acting career, does have Oscar potential, and though it may be a stretch to say he deserves a little gold statue for his role as Bane, I don't think talk of a nomination is too premature.
He's proven himself time and time again and his talents, mixed with Nolan's vision of what is sure to be a fascinating, frightening character – just like the Joker – could make for some bonafide Oscar material.
Of course, this is all just speculation. Having not seen the film, I really can't speak to Hardy's role or his performance. That being said, just going off everything we know so far, I think this role does have the potential to bring the young actor some well deserved awards attention.
As I close out this article, I ask you dear reader, what do you think? Am I showing too much of my fanboy side, or could Hardy deliver one of the defining performances of his career in The Dark Knight Rises.
Let us know what you think in the comments.Previous

By Steve Keating
DETROIT (Reuters) - Almost everyone loves a great comeback story and, for those who do, few are more compelling than the one unfolding in Detroit as the Motor City sheds its 'loser-ville' image.
After decades of decay, the city that was at Ground Zero of the auto industry collapse then floored by a recession is getting back on its feet, a resilience reflected by its sports teams and highlighted by the Tigers' return to the World Series.
The auto industry and the beaten down city it calls home may still be in the midst of a painful recovery but Detroit will feel the full impact of a robust Tiger economy this weekend as the Motor City gets set to host Games Three, Four and Five of the Fall Classic.
The Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates that three games would pour $26 million into a city that can use every cent.
"We expect it (World Series) to have an impact of upwards of $8 million a game...it is an economic engine for us," Dave Beachnau, executive director of the Detroit Sports Commission, told Reuters.
"One of the reasons we formed the Detroit Sports Commission was we see the value and importance of hosting events of that magnitude, not only because of the economic benefits they can provide but also by casting a positive image on the region.
"We are changing the perception of Detroit."
Once a bustling city that was home to nearly two million people, Detroit now has fewer than 800,000 residents with many having fled to the suburbs to escape the high crime rates and to search for jobs, leaving behind the decaying shell of a once great American metropolis.
While the Tigers' return to the World Series will do more to boost sagging spirits and civic pride than turn around the local economy, the Major League Baseball team, the National Hockey League's Red Wings and the National Football League's Lions are doing their part to breathe life into a downtown that was left for dead.
Comerica Park and Ford Field, located across the street from each other, are two world-class facilities providing an anchor for the redevelopment of the downtown core.
Amid the acres of empty lots and boarded up, crumbling buildings new businesses have begun to sprout up.
Once a foreboding 'no-go' zone, people now happily linger before and after games at a growing number of pubs and restaurants instead of racing to cars and back to the suburbs.
"The last couple of years we have seen a resurgence of companies moving downtown, or downtown employers hiring more people," said Beachnau. "You walk around downtown at lunch time you see a lot of young professionals, who work and live downtown.
"Sport has been a staple of this community for years, the Lions moving downtown played a major role in the resurgence of the stadium district, the side-by-side stadiums and the things that have been established around it.
"Sport continues to play a vital role in our local economy."
Despite the tough times and one of the highest unemployment rates in the United States, Tigers fans have been among the Major League's most loyal and this year they have topped three million in attendance for the third time in six seasons.
Detroit fans stood by the Lions when they set a new standard for failure in stumbling to an 0-16 season and celebrated with the Red Wings, who won the Stanley Cup in 2008 and reached the final in 2009, giving the city something to cheer about just as the car industry was imploding.
The Tigers' appearance in the World Series has helped dull the impact of the NHL lockout and a sluggish start to the season by the Lions, who will contribute to the party this weekend when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
"The economy in Michigan and the Detroit region has made more progress than just about any other place in the nation," Sandy Baruah, president and CEO of the Detroit Regional Chamber told Reuters.
"The entrepreneurs are coming back, the auto industry is doing better and there is investment in the city. Good things are happening and the national media is recognizing that.
"The sports teams have kind of been the icing on the cake."
Despite the optimism, one need only gaze out from behind home plate at Comerica Park at darkened, vacant skyscrapers to realize Detroit has just taken the first steps on the long road back.
Motown remains the most violent city in the United States, according to Forbes, with 345 reported murders in 2011 and unemployment rates, while improving dramatically over the last three years, remain among the country's highest.
Yet amid the rubble, a rebirth is taking place with the Tigers, Lions and Red Wings waving the flag and letting prospective employers know that Detroit is open for business and ready to play ball.
The city's teams will continue to play a major role in that redevelopment, not just by attracting big events such as the Super Bowl and Final Four but by opening eyes to the possibilities of the Motor City.
The Detroit Regional Chamber has seized on that opportunity and will host a dozen people from site selector firms, whose job it is to scout out new locations for Fortune 1000 companies.
They will spend a day getting the "full Monty" sales pitch, capped off by a World Series game between the Tigers and San Francisco Giants in the evening.
"The immediate tangible of hosting the World Series is the income but here's the other incredible benefit," said Baruah. "Every game that is going to be played in Detroit on national television is an advertisement for Detroit.
"It will remind people across the country of the progress the city has made and that Detroit is back in business."
