Schumann in Endenich. (Kammermusik Nr. 2). By Wilhelm Killmayer. For piano, electronic organ (harmonium) and percussion (5 players). This edition: ED 6431. Drums/Percussion. Score (also performance score). Composed 1972. 12 pages. Duration 8 minutes. Published by Schott Music (SD.49006313). ISBN 9790001068468. Wilhelm Killmayer stellt den einzelnen Ton an den Beginn dieser Komposition. Doch wahrend Robert Schumann darin den Ausgangspunkt seiner romantischen Musik fand, unterbindet Killmayer die Entwicklung poetischer Melodien. Die Art und Weise, wie Killmayer sich fur die Beschrankung auf einen sehr begrenzten Tonraum entschieden hat, erinnert an Schumanns Beschrankung auf die Heilanstalt Endenich. Mit sich wiederholenden Sekundschritten verdeutlicht der Klavierpart die Enge im Leben des erkrankten Komponisten. Auch die Einwurfe von Vibraphon, Bongo und Conga konnen diese Grenze letztlich nicht uberwinden. So bleibt nur die Flucht ins Innere. Und wenn sich im Dialog zwischen Klavier und Glockenspiel raffinierte Klangfarben offenbaren, wird Schumann in Endenich zur Reise in das Bewusstsein eines ratselhaften Mitmenschen.

Un Dia de Noviembre (for solo marimba). By Leo Brouwer (1939-). Arranged by Jason Baker. Marimba solo. For low E marimba (1 player). Concert Percussion Solos. Originally written for solo guitar, Un Dia de Noviembre is a marimba transcription of a very popular piece by Cuban composer Leo Brouwer. By way of natural chord voicings and intuitive playing patterns, Jason Baker has done a masterful job of capturing th. Medium. Score. 8 pages. Duration 5'00". Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCS-09). Originally written for solo guitar, Un Dia de Noviembre is a marimba transcription of a very popular piece by Cuban composer Leo Brouwer. It's performed with four mallets on a 4.5 (low E) octave marimba. This piece has a lyrical and simplistic beauty which will require a mature sense of musical phrasing from the performer. The accompaniment alternates between the right and left hands throughout and occasionally requires one-handed rolls from each hand at different points. By way of natural chord voicings and intuitive playing patterns, Jason Baker has done a masterful job of capturing the heart of the original work through the marimba's expressive range.

2010 – A year in reviewBy Vinicius Baggio
This year is coming to an end and it was amazing for us at Plataforma Tecnologia. We are proud to share with you, faithful reader, our accomplishments in 2010, which weren't few.
Open Source
The year has begun on fire. In February, José Valim made his way into the Rails Core team and has been doing a great work since then, including many contributions to the Rails 3 release.
We are also really proud with Devise. It got very mature, achieving the 1.0 version this February. Since then, Devise is becoming one of the best solutions for authentication in Rails and also one of the most watched repositories on GitHub.
In August, Devise 1.1 was released with Rails 3 support and a bunch of cool features. Recently, a lot of work is being done towards the 1.2 version, which includes full support to the awesome OmniAuth gem.
We also released SimpleForm this year. SimpleForm is our take on building forms in a simplified way lead by Carlos Antônio who recently did a great work on HTML 5 support.
Other gems were released, such as ShowFor, which is a DSL to simplify how you show your objects in views and also Responders, a collection of Rails 3 responders.
Eariler this month, José Valim's book entitled Crafting Rails Applications has been released by the highly acclaimed publisher Pragmatic Bookstore! The book covers internal aspects of Rails 3 and how you can bend it to your will. The reviews and buzz has been great so far, even though still in beta. Grab your copy now!
This year was also very productive in terms of events. We've been to a lot of events, heck, George was even able to go to RailsConf, in Baltimore! Also, José Valim has spoken in various events, including Euruko 2010 (includes video), RubyConf Brazil 2010 (talk in portuguese) and OxenteRails 2010.
Carlos, Hugo and George did their share as well, speaking at various events, from smaller and user-group events to bigger ones such as OxenteRails, RS on Rails and QCon SP.
The company itself is getting more mature and increasing. At January 2010, PlataformaTec was composed of 6 people, and up until December 2010, 5 other people joined the company (including myself)! We also have started playing with iOS development, something we believe to have a great future, expect future blog posts on the subject.
Great 2011!
Have a great New Year! We wish you all the best for year to come. We have high expectations for 2011, so stay tuned!

Rails 3 was released this week but the minds of the Rails Core team members are already focused on the 3.1 release for quite some time. DHH was the first one to give a hint on what we would like to see in Rails 3.1 in his RailsConf talk and, as Ruby Summer of Code is close to its end, we are able to see the work of several students getting solid enough to be an important part of Rails 3.1 release.
In between all this work, I was invited to participate in three important conferences in the following months and lately I've prepared enough material to give a talk entitled "Rails 2.3, 3.0 and 3.1: Past, Present and Future"!
In this talk I plan to discuss many of the conceptual changes done in Rails 3 and how these changes were given life in the Rails source code, comparing, as much as possible, with Rails 2.3. After the current and past scenarios are throughly discussed, I will show how much of the work done in Rails 3 can still be improved and how several Ruby Summer of Code Projects are helping us to achieve it. And if you ever wondered how much Merb affected the Rails community, you will have a few surprises while watching this talk!
The three different conferences I mentioned above will be held in Ukraine, Brasil and Sweden. But I'm not sure if there will be anyone recording them, so I'd suggest you not to miss any of them.
Here they are…
1) RubyConfUA (Ukraine): 16th and 17th October
If you have never been to Kyiv before (just like me), here's a great opportunity to visit it for the first time! It will be two days of deep immersion into Ruby with nice city visits during the night!
Other active developers in the community as Oleg Andreev and Piotr Sarnacki will be present as well. By the way, RubyConf Ukraine is still accepting both sponsors and talk proposals! We are waiting for you!
2) RubyConf (Brasil): 26th and 27th October
Right after RubyConf Ukraine, I'll be flying back to Brasil to present a portuguese version of this talk. RubyConf Brasil is the former "Rails Summit Latin America" (which has been the largest Ruby and Rails conference in Latin America for the last two years). And this year it won't be different. Several Ruby and Rails developers (like Yehuda Katz, Charles Nutter, Evan Phoenix and many others) have confirmed their presence. If you get the chance, don't miss it!
3) Oredev (Sweden): 8th to 12th November
And finally, my last stop will be in Sweden at the developer conference held in Malmö. This will be different from the previous two, since it is not focused in Ruby nor Rails. It's a multitrack conference that hosts different technologies (by the way, the keynotes and tutorials programme is very interesting!). Since I'm expecting several non-Rails developers in the audience, I will slightly change my talk to focus more on the conceptual side and less on technical discussions. Also, I'll be hosting a a workshop about Rails 3, where I'll demonstrate a few of @plataformatec's open source projects.
If you are coming to any of these events, please let me know in the comments!

Disqus for WordPress Plugin Gets Full Single Sign-On SupportPosted on July 16, 2012 by thetylerhayes
Today we're happy to announce we've released a long-standing update to our WordPress plugin. If you haven't already, go ahead and download the Disqus WordPress plugin. And a reminder to our awesome developer community: feel free to fork the plugin and help make it even better.
So what's new?
Full Single Sign-On (SSO) Support
With today's update, and last month's silent introduction of a new add-on package — just SSO, for just $99/month — the Disqus WordPress plugin has the most fully-featured, easy-to-integrate Single Sign-On solution available.
Our plugin now takes full advantage of both WordPress' and Disqus' login systems by allowing sites to set their own custom login button, making the login process incredibly seamless for both existing and new visitors.
And for users who set a website link in their WordPress profile, we now show that website link in their Disqus profile too. Even if they've logged-in via their WordPress account.
Similarly to how we added a live demo of Disqus 2012 to our home page, we've added a Screenshots tab to the plugin description. Now everyone can know how Disqus will look and feel in their WordPress environment before even installing it.
Bug Fixes and Other Improvements
Both our team and our greatly helpful community of collaborating developers put together a smorgasbord of bug fixes and improvements. See the plugin change log for a full list. We've already got a number of great updates lined up for the next plugin release too, so stay tuned for those.
If you're on WordPress, download the Disqus WordPress plugin today. And if you're interested in our new $99/month Single Sign-On package, head over to our For Websites page and fill out the form at the bottom of the VIP Features tab and we'll be in touch!

text: There was a young high school girl who had a mother and a father who were fighting all the time. The young girl was all alone with no one to talk to. After school she went to one store everyday to get some food and when she was looking for some she came across some music. So she picked up a pair of headphones and listened, a few seconds later her mind and heart were at peace and happiness. One rainy day she came across an old guitar that was going to be thrown away. So she took it home and fixed it up that night. Weeks have gone by that she practiced with that guitar. Everyday she went out to the shopping center she sang and played her guitar. The music and her guitar were the only thing keeping her sane. A few more months pass by and her music teacher said she could go to a college of the arts. She was over joyed. When she came home her parents were fighting again but this time it was worse then normal. So she tried to stop them, but her father lifted his hand with a wine bottle and swung it at her and knocked her out cold. The next day she was at school, she was walking down the hallway when she started to feel dizzy. Before long she ended up on the floor passed out. When she woke up she found herself in a hospital. The doctor told her she had brain failure and she only had a few days to live. So the days passed by and she slowly passed away in her bed.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sept. 20, 2010) - The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to announce that Courage & Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers (an original exhibition created by the Florida Holocaust Museum) will be on view through Jan. 3, 2011 at the Breman Jewish Heritage & Holocaust Museum. The museum is located at 1440 Spring Street NW, Atlanta, Ga. For museum hours and other information, please call (678) 222-3700.
Courage & Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers begins with an overview of the Bielski family and Jewish life in Belarus. It then recounts Tuvia, Asael and Zus Bielski's escape and the formation of the Bielski partisan detachment. The exhibit outlines the rescue of thousands of Jews from the surrounding area and ghettos, the story of the longest escape tunnel ever built, the group's establishment of a small community in the forest, and their courageous acts of sabotage against the Nazis. Because of their compassion, over 1,200 Jews survived the Holocaust. The exhibition features text and graphic panels, personal artifacts from the Bielski partisans, and presentations of Survivor testimony. Courage & Compassion is presented nationally by Bank of America.
For more information on the exhibition, please visit, www.courageandcompassionexhibit.com.

JALC Trustees Approve Strategic Plan
The John A. Logan College Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a Strategic Plan that will help guide the College over the next five years. The document was prepared by consultant Tom Wunderle, along with input from John A. Logan College faculty and staff.
The Strategic Plan is essential to the College's continued accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission and will help guide decisions and projects over the next three years in the areas of student success, management, operational effectiveness, and diversity in the coming years.
The plan had originally been brought up for a vote at the May Board of Trustees meeting, but had been tabled until June to give the trustees ample time to read the lengthy document. Trustee Don Brewer thanked Chairman Rendleman for delaying the vote to give the board the necessary time. The document was revised to state that the board reserved the right to amend, alter or change the plan upon appropriate notice at any regularly scheduled or special meeting called for that purpose.
Rendleman commented that the additional disclaimer was added to the document as a safety mechanism due to the long-term effect of the plan.
"As we look down the road we have to be prepared for issues that could arise because of pension reform or other funding concerns that might result in the need to reprioritize aspects of the plan."
President Mike Dreith was excited that the plan will soon be implemented.
"This work is a wonderful example of shared governance. Students, staff, faculty, administration and trustees collaborated in creating this blueprint for JALC's future. We have taken our collective vision and published it for all to see. Now, the hard work begins–taking the vision and making it into reality."
In other board news, Rendleman and Vice Chair, Jackie Hancock reported on the recent Illinois Community College Trustees Association meeting in Chicago. Hancock congratulated all of the award winners from the College that were recognized at the conference including former trustee John O'Keefe, for his lifetime membership award and JALC Faculty of the Year, David England and Term Faculty of the Year, Steve McLaughlin, who was the overall state award winner as well.
Hancock added that there were several good sessions including a presentation by the College's Director of College Relations, Dr. Steve O'Keefe, regarding his doctoral research on the effects that massive retirements in the Illinois Community College System will have on leadership.
In officer reports, Vice President for Administration, Dr. Tim Daugherty reported that the final spring enrollment number for all students served was 18,338. The number represents all areas of the College including Business and Industry and Continuing Education and is a 9.7% increase over last spring. Daugherty reported that the 10th-day summer enrollment of 3,470 students showed an increase of 62 students over last summer. He added that credit hours were down slightly, but that number could be attributed to the fact that students at the Community Health Education Building that had previously been enrolled in a four-hour class were now enrolled in a two hour class.
Daugherty said that a report prepared by Director of Student Activities Adrienne Barkley Giffin, showed the number of individuals that had interaction at the College.
"The number of 139,000 on this report reflects our best estimate of the number of participants we have had at events such as Hunting and Fishing Days, Autumn-Fest and various other activities such as sporting events and theatrical production. This really shows the amount of outreach that we truly have on this campus," stated Daugherty.
President Dreith said that despite the fact that a conference committee had been formed in the General Assembly to resolve the pension issue, there seems to be little head way being made. According to Dreith, the committee actually puts the issue into a timeless process because conference committees have no deadlines.
"This conference committee just insures further gridlock on this and most political insiders do not see a resolution to this anytime in the near future."
The board approved the following consent agenda items: joint agreements with Illinois Eastern Illinois Community College, Kaskaskia College, Rend Lake College, Shawnee College, Southeastern Illinois College, and Southwestern Illinois College; prevailing wage act resolution; inter-fund loans; the purchase of Dell computers in the amount of $142,181.50; the FY 2014 Resource Allocation and Management Plan; the low bid of $1,095,100 to W.F. Stift, Inc. for renovations to the cosmetology and dental labs; the low bid of $41,500 and $13,500 to W.F. Stift, Inc. for alternate construction at the West Frankfort Extension Center; continued relationship with Interactive Health Screening for FY 2014 at an estimated cost of $205 per eligible employee.
In addition to the approval of the Strategic Plan, the board approved July 31 or Aug. 1 as the date for the board retreat to be conducted by the executive director of the Illinois Community College Trustee Association for the purpose of self-evaluation.
In new business, the board approved the employment of Pixie Vaughn as a part-time, grade III, Secretary III (administrative assistant to the President). The retirement request by Suzie Ward was also approved for December 2013.

A Natural Lip.
Lately with all of Spring's brights, neons, and florals, my makeup routine has been minimal. I've been on the hunt for a color and texture of lip color that looks like my lips, but better and more polished. These are the 5 products I rely on most to give my lips an upgrade and they compliment any skin tone or age. What do you use for a natural lip?
1. Laura Mercier stick gloss in Brown Sugar // 2. YSL Rouge Volupte in 003 Ultimate Beige // 3. Stila lip glaze in Grapefruit // 4. Bobbi Brown rich color gloss in Dusty Rose // 5. Clinique almost lipstick in Chic Honey

As operations have picked up in the Marcellus shale, companies have developed safer, more advanced technologies to address not only extraction and production issues but environmental concerns as well. Finding a way to achieve harmony with the environment will be critical to continued shale gas development.
As most people in the industry are aware, these concerns are the reason some US states have balked at developing their unconventional reserves and why countries in Europe, such as France, have formally announced they will delay shale development.
It is important to put factual information in front of decision makers, who are acting out of distrust, much of which is based on vocal opposition groups that are disseminating misinformation.
The actions of one of these groups became obvious to Hart Energy employees who traveled to Pittsburgh, Pa., in November for the DUG East conference and exhibition, an event that received the dubious distinction of drawing the attention of the "Occupy" movement. The "Occupiers" set up shop near the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and did their best to disrupt DUG East – though in fact, their presence had little if any effect on attendees, who numbered a record-breaking 3,000+ this year.
Probably the most interesting thing about the protesters was the complete disconnect that exists between their opposition platform and their seeming ignorance of their own reliance on oil and gas. This was apparent in the list of donation needs they posted on their website. First on the list of needs was gas for cooking and heating – an irony that evidently was lost on the protestors.
On the surface, this is laughable – much like the requests for vegan and gluten-free food and soy and almond milk donations, which also were on the list of requests. The visibility and influence of these protestors, however, is no laughing matter.
Shale opponents have been diligent in recruiting and have found many ways to attract media support. Protests against hydraulic fracturing are widespread and continue to draw followers despite the fact that the majority of those voicing dissent have no understanding of what fracing is. The outcry against hydrocarbon development is strong, and whether informed people within the industry admit it or not, opponents of the industry are having a significant impact. The fact remains that the truth is considerably obscured. As long as emotion remains in the spotlight, emotion, not fact, will be the basis for future decisions. Clearly, it is in the interest of companies to educate the public and engage stakeholders. Without their support, it will be difficult to move shale gas development forward.

Location, it is actually impossible to get a better location in London. It's no more then a 5 minute walk to most the famous landmarks. The walk into the city ever day past parliament and the London Eye you can't go wrong! If your feeling lazy there's 2 tube stations within about 2 minutes. Staff is awesome, breakfast is good. I've been here before and will come here again. Always feels like home. Also a cool bar downstairs a great place to mingle with the locals.Read More

Ben Eblen has committed to UNCW and will be available for the 2013 season.
Chris Dixon welcomed Eblen on Twitter tweeting, "Like to welcome my bro @Ben_E10 to the UNCW Seahawk family"
Eblen, who was a backup guard at Alabama, left the team prior to the 2012-13 season to concentrate on academics.
Eblen graduated in December with a degree in consumer affairs and has one year of eligibility remaining. Because he sat out the season he is eligible to play in 2013-14.
As a point guard out of Isle of Palms, S.C. Eblen was recruited by Anthony Grant when he was at VCU and was the only player he signed in 2009 upon taking the Alabama job.
Eblen earned two starts during his time at Alabama and averaged .5 points per game, 8.1 minutes per game and .7 assists per game.
With the addition of Eblen UNCW has all of its scholarships for 2013-14 filled.

"We wanted to have a little fun with it, to create some kind of reason to talk about something with our staff and our guests, you know, what is an envy room?"
Embracing the mantra, "style and story," Marc and Mia Skvorc, together with the renowned Finnish architects at SARC Group and the interior design firm Stylt Trampoli, weaved Finnish folklore into nearly every fold of Klaus K's aesthetic fabric. One of the epic's central characters played a musical instrument made from the jaw of a pikeperch, and so at Ilmatar, Klaus K's popular Finnish restaurant, guests enjoy uncomplicated, modern takes on regional specialties under a large pikeperch mosaic.
The front desk owes its own genesis to a creation myth from Kalevala, Finland's national epic. According to its verse, the world was formed by the splitting of a great egg, and Klaus K's egg-shaped front desk is a bold, ovular white-and-gold wooden structure haloed by a ring of twisted white metal meant to resemble an inverted nest.
The four themes of the Kalevala epic—passion, mysticism, desire and envy—make up Klaus K's four room categories, from the burnt orange hues and reindeer motif of the "mysticism" rooms to the decadent chocolate and Bordeaux tones of the high-end "envy" rooms.
"We wanted to have a little fun with it," explained Marc, "To create some kind of reason to talk about something with our staff and our guests, you know, what is an envy room?"
This playfulness and penchant for storytelling also led to the development of a fifth Klaus K room category: the art suite. Three years ago, the Skvorcs invited two Finnish painters whom Marc had befriended at an exhibition hosted by Klaus K, to each come spend a week in one of the hotel's envy rooms. Once there, they were to use the walls of the room as a canvas, taking the idea of envy as their inspiration. In the Riko Sakkinen suite stands a large mural of an oversized cartoon robot with the body of a Cup-o-Noodles container shooting Finnish meatballs from its side. Above the robot, bold block letters declare, "The Reasons Why I Envy Finland" (the robot, purportedly, envies the food).
The walls of the Jani Leinonen suite are covered with a swirling motif of tattoo-style hearts circumscribing the names of famous couples (Romeo and Juliet, Diana and Charles), which fade from white to black as the stories of the couples become more scandalous and elicit (John and Marilyn, Charles and Camilla). Guests of the hotel can even pay to have their own name and that of their beloved added to the wall, and already several new couples adorn the suite.

Its now been a year since signing up to Foliopic www.picseye.com and during that time Ive had over 31,000 page viewings.
So Im now thinking that I might take the next step and try selling through the shop and Cafepress. But first Id like to put the questions to the floor!!
Has anyone had any success using the shop? And how does the Cafepress system work?
I have the following accounts cafe press, zazzle, redbubble, photo4me, fineart america, deviant art..... If i pick out redbubble I have had 20000 views in 5 months and sold 4 images... so views are not something you should go on...... with zazzle and cafe press you create a account upload your images then either bulk upload products tag and title this creates around 100 products with Zazzle or around 260 with Cafe press... and then sit back and wait...... remember there are millions of images on these sites as for sales I have about 300 images on each and make around 8 sales per month.... anything from a $3 postcard upto a $35 6 foot square shower curtain...... if i looked at my hourly rate with time spent uploading and titling tagging then its a few pence per hour..... but once the images are there they are there until you remove them.......photo 4 me and fineart one image sold on each in 5 months.... these were 24-16 inch framed images costing over £100 each but again its a % commision based thing....... I am still uploading and tagging and titling even now..... its a long and slow process..... but long term and I mean a few years you should create a income to supplement your day job...... if you need to Know more let me Know

Voting Breakdown for Democratic Presidential Primaries
The above New York Times graphic shows where each candidate got his or her support from. The x-axis (horizontal) represents strength of support and the y-axis shows the number of states.
On the surface, it's a stacked bar chart, but the animation as you browse the groups (e.g. under age 30, whites, blacks), makes things interesting. Highlight a state and watch it move left to right and right to left or just click on "blacks" and watch all the states shoot to the right in support of Obama. FlowingData readers will recognize the names of the skilled graphics editors who made the graphic - Shan Carter and Amanda Cox.
[Thanks, Chris]

Becoming Learned the Old School Way in Annapolis, Maryland
Before foam-fingered rallies and binge drinking, before endless applications and applied mathematics, before the BCS and the SAT, learned men (yes, men) came from one place alone: the library. Reading, debating, and honing one's thinker were the 101s, 2s, and 3s of higher education. A relic of this philosophy remains at St. John's College, where the sole curriculum is a long, long reading list, debate of the contents, and four years in which to do it. Perusing the well-thumbed, undusty tomes in the campus library, it's hard to find a good reason you haven't yet finished Tuesdays With Morrie.

The Seattle Seahawks cut 12 players Sunday, reducing their roster size to 77in advance of Monday's deadline, by which the roster must be down to 75 players.
The most notable fo those players cut was wide receiver Terrell Owens, the 38-year-old who was competing to replace departed Mike Williams. Owens came into camp with a blaze -- running an impressive 40 yard dash time, but had problems holding onto passes in preseason games.
Nearly always controversial, Owens was grateful for the chance to become a Seahawk, tweeting after being cut:
"I'm no longer a Seahawk. I THANK the organization 4 the opportunity, I'm truly blessed beyond belief. My FAITH is intact & will NOT waiver."
Owens' departure could bode well for another veteran wide receiver signed in training camp, Braylon Edwards. Edwards has been impressive in the preseason.
Below is the full list of cuts as provided by the Seahawks:
following players have been waived with the designation as injured:
Linebacker Jameson Konz
Defensive end Pep Levingston
Cornerback Roy Lewis
Tight end Cameron Morrah
The following players have been waived:
Wide receiver Phil Bates
Offensive tackle Edawn Coughman
Cornerback Donny Lisowski
Cornerback Ron Parker
Running back Tyrell Sutton
Contracts with the following vested veterans have been terminated:
Offensive tackle Alex Barron
Offensive guard Deuce Lutui
Wide receiver Terrell Owens

Zed Seselja MLA
Under 10 years of ACT Labor, the people of the Lanyon Valley have endured continual rates increases, but have failed to receive any increase in community services in return, said Member for Brindabella Zed Seselja.
In the Assembly today, Mr Seselja will call on the ACT Labor Government to outline when they will develop more community facilities for the Lanyon Valley residents.
"For too long the people of the Lanyon Valley have not had reasonable access to important community facilities like a pool, community meeting areas, a public library or recreational facilities," said Mr Seselja.
At the 2012 election, following an extensive period of community engagement and feedback, the Canberra Liberals promised to build an indoor pool in Lanyon Valley.
"ACT Labor has chosen to ignore the residents of Lanyon Valley for too long, and they deserve access to community services like those provided to other Canberrans," concluded Mr Seselja.

Ready! Get-set! GO SUMMER! Our stylish designer, Ellie, let us in on her vacation plans, picks and tips. Ellie is celebrated in the office for her cool take on fashion and her adventurous spirit. See these worlds collide in her stylish road-tripping wardrobe.
Where: I'm trading the bright lights of LA for a quick adventure road-trip up the coast to Big Sur. I'll be spending a few nights camping under the twinkly stars and then finishing up with a couple of wildly decadent and pampering nights at The Post Ranch Inn.
Travel Attire: I love being comfortable while I travel and I love a color pop, so my ASTRA top in bright, hot orange is perfect. It's super soft and looks great paired with my denim shorts, and my can't-live-without Oliver People's sunglasses.
Ears: As I coast up the PCH, I'll be listening to a couple of my favorite, local California bands, that just came out with new albums, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Best Coast.
Beach Bum: I'm day-dreaming about sitting on the beach in my printed Mara Hoffman bikini with MOIE thrown over the top, a brilliant, casual cover-up with a luxe seventies vibe.
Camp-site Chic: I have a penchant for anything stripy (it's a bit of an addiction), but CON goes above and beyond your average horizontal fare due to it's lovely brushstroke texture. It's perfect for an outdoor BBQ with friends and I'll wear it with my trusty vintage denim jacket.
The Great Gatsby: I'm so excited for Baz Luhrmann's movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby coming later this year. To get ready, I'm going to re-read Fitzgerald's masterpiece this summer. I see myself lounging on the hotel terrace, wearing LORIANN, the asymmetric tank dress. I'll probably go grecian and pair it with my fav Ancient Greek gladiator sandals and some chunky accessories. This is the perfect dress for nailing lo-fi glamor.
Secret scene-stealer: For dinner at the hotel, I'll be wearing CAHILL, my summer secret weapon. It's the perfect dress to kick up your heels in and have some fun. It's sexy, easy to wear and has a playful element that I love. It's my wear-anywhere-winner. I'll pair it with my neon polka-dot scarf from (who else?!) Velvet by Graham & Spencer!

What if there are actually multiple souls in your body but you're the most powerful one so you have control over your body and the voices you hear in your head are just the weaker souls talking to you.
and maybe people with schizophrenia don't have an assertive soul so all of the souls are fighting to take over
both of you write a book together
writers are people who have acknowledged and made friends with their extra souls

Late Rally Sends Milwaukee Baseball To Seventh-Straight Victory
May 1, 2013
MILWAUKEE - Freshman Nick Unes doubled, stole third and came home on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to send the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee baseball team to a come-from-behind 4-3 victory over Chicago State University Wednesday afternoon at Henry Aaron Field.
The Panthers (20-16) trailed the Cougars (6-32) by two runs in the seventh, but rallied in that frame to tie the contest and went ahead in the eighth inning on Unes' heads-up baserunning.
"It was evident throughout the game that our energy level was down, but that is always a risk when you play a day game after a night game, especially when you have been playing as much as we have," UWM head coach Scott Doffek said. "And then you mix in the players having to go to class at the same time. I think we sleep-walked in the batter's box a bit, but we did do a good job of pitching the baseball."
After just missing a home run off the wall down the right field line and stopping at second, Unes alertly stole third when no one was covering the base on sophomore Luke Meeteer's sac bunt attempt on the first pitch of the at bat. Once he safely reached third, he promptly raced home with the eventual winning run on Meeteer's line-out to center field.
"It was a really heads-up play and ultimately what probably won the game," Doffek said. "That is what Nick is going to do - he plays the entire game the whole time. That is a huge play for anyone - a freshman, a fifth-year senior - anybody, that was just a heads-up play."
Sophomore Josh Uhen closed the door in the ninth with his third save of the season, making a winner out of junior Mike Schneider (7-2). Schneider was on for the eighth, working a 1-2-3 frame with one strikeout.
Unes finished 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a run scored, while sophomore Michael Porcaro added a 2-for-3 effort.
Freshman Jake Tuttle made his first collegiate start, working the first 5.0 innings. He allowed three runs, all earned, on six hits. He walked no one and struck out six batters.
"Jake gave us a good start and our bullpen did a really good job," Doffek said. "We made some really good plays on defense - once again we had zero errors and that is huge for us."
Sophomore Justin Jaquish chipped in with a pair of scoreless innings, not allowing a hit after Chicago State had taken that 3-1 advantage.
Milwaukee took a 1-0 lead on an RBI-single from senior Jonathan Capasso in the third. The lead was short-lived, however, as the Cougars struck for three runs on four hits in the top of the fourth, including a run-scoring double-steal. UWM tied the game in the seventh, scoring twice on an RBI-groundout from Capasso.
The Panthers go for their first eight-game winning streak since April of 2011 tomorrow, hosting Cardinal Stritch in a home game set to start at 2 p.m.

Alieu Conteh is a Gambian entrepeneur who has been deeply involved with the Democratic Republic of Congo, even during some of the nation's darkest days. Under the Mobutu government, he was a coffee exporter, purchasing beans, roasting them in Kinshasa and flying it to London for export.
When the Congo descended into civil war (sometimes called the First Congo War, from 1996-7), Conteh saw this potentially rich nation in ruins. But when Laurent Kabila took power, Conteh saw the possibility to build a business around telecommunications.
He remembered spending five hours at a post office waiting to make a phonecall, watching people sleep at the post office so they could make phonecalls. When the first war ended, there were only about 15,000 fixed lines in the country, largely assigned to Mobutu's ministers, bodyguards, and some wealthy businessmen. It's impossible to overstate the need for communications, since there's very little transport infrastructure in the nation to tie people together.
Despite having almost no experience in telecommunications, Conteh decided to bid for a wireless license. The government's terms kept changing, eventually increasing to $10m for a GSM license. Conteh pushed back, explaining that the country was still at war and that no one would pay that price given the risk. He ultimately paid $2 million, and was granted a year to build a nationwide network.
But the main challenges were still ahead – no one was interested in funding the project, including equipment manufacturers. He ultimately chose to work with Nortel, using their Piconode system, but had to show 110% of available capital, as no companies would extend financing. Ultimately, he wrote a check for over a million dollars of his own money.
It became apparent immediately that there was a real market for mobile phones. Even before there was a prepaid billing system or international commections, people were queueing up to buy phones for $350 each. With some of the capital generated from those phone sales, he was able to purchase software and equipment from Massachusetts to support prepaid licenses. (It evidently took weeks to persuade anyone from the selling company to come to Congo to install the equipment given state department warnings.)
A major challenge to expansion throughout the nation was resistance from local rebel commanders, all of whom wanted their own licensing fees before allowing towers to be build. Jean-Pierre Bemba relented first, and eventually all four major rebel leaders allowed the towers without additional fees.
The punch line to Conteh's story is that his company now has 3 million subscribers, half of the total subscribers in DRC, and was recently valued at $1.6 billion dollars. As Chris Anderson says, thanking Conteh for the talk, "There's money to be made in Africa."
EZ—very interesting speaking in your own language in this booming technology world switch and playing lanuage game.
My name is musa touray, I am a Gambian born in Gunjur village kombo SOUTH District western Division ,I have a comment to say about our belove brother Mr Alieu Conteh.I think it is very important for him to understand that helping my his own people in Gunjur by buying 100 bags of rice for us every year for charity and taking People to Mecca though it is good but for looking in another way by helping us let him look at the educational sector for us because we have a lot of drop out students in Gunjur who are well determine to further their education to higher height but no financial support for this people and their families and education is the key to success in life development cannot go without education we need to learn and help ourself, as it says before briging fish from the sea show me how to fish then we all enjoy . I realy appreciate your contribution towards the People of Gunjur there are ways that your can help us easily by creating some funs for dropout students and build some skills centre for training young boys and Girls like computer maintainance centers, school for adult litracy centre and capentary workshops.I will like this message to be deliver to Mr Alieu conteh
musa touray.
Alieu Conteh my brother only God knows how proud I am today. May God bless you.I am from Gunjur as well.
My name is sekou omar jatta
Dear Sir,
I am anxious to get in touch with Mr. Alieu Conteh.
I am a german businessman trading with rawmaterials from African origins. In the course of my activities I have been given the opportunity to obtain a Telecommunication license (GSM) for an african country. The GSM system is 800MHz and 1.900MHz. – I was wondering Whther mr. Conteh would be interested in a cooperation in order to get this matter off the ground.
I look forward to your response.
Peter Ludolphi
My dear brother, i'm extremely proud of you as a gambian.your contribution to build the congo GSM network from nothing is certainly a source of inspiration for all. This does not only ease for the congolese people, but contribute immensely to the socio-economic and political status of Congo.
I hope and pray that one day you will partner with Gambia government to develop gamtel to a world class telecoms company like your company.
May Allah continue to increase your knowledge.
Mustapha conteh
Hi Alieu,
It is indeed a pleasure and honour for me to express my gratitude and appreciation to you for the efforts that you are rendering to your native town Gunjur. We are very proud of you as a true son of Gunjur and the Gambia in general. We definitely appreciate all the good hearts that you are showing to us. Our prayers and much blessings are forever on you at all time. We pray for Allah's protection and guidance to be on you at all time.
Alieu, i would really appreciate if you could put the points stated by Musa Touray into consideration. Education is the only way we the people of Gunjur can live up to expectation so it would definitely be a great idea if you would consider building skill centers and providing funds for the drop out students so that they can also have a say in sharing the public cake.
You are a son whom we are all looking at. You always make us proud and we always hope and believe that this is just the begining of all your great endeavours that you have in mind for your people in home and abroad.
I'm saying a big thank to you and may Allah SWT always grant you long life, good health, peace, progress and prosperity with lot of foster mutual understanding and good co-operation between you and the entire world. We also hope that you will try and create more rooms for bilateral relationship to continue existing between you and the Govt of the Gambia so that you can contribute to the communication sector of the Gambia by making Gamtel one of the best in sub-region.
I'm also your little brother from Gunjur.
God bless you abundantly we love you so much♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
