I have been on a legging kick lately. I like them better than tights because they are warmer. I picked these up at Target and I swear they are more comfy than my pajama's. I am trying a bit of pattern mixing, Bella at The Citizen Rosebud is the absolute master of this! Check her out here. I hope I did you proud Bella:)
This crazy sweater was a recent find on ebay another bright and warm addition to my winter wardrobe.
I also have to share with you the most gorgeous pendant I picked up by Jasmine Becket.
I made a cool necklace for it to hang on. Isn't she sweet with her lil baby dragon?
Are you ready for our song or what?

Creating Waves of Awareness
The Kali Family There have been many articles written on the individual members of this group of homoeopathic remedies, but very few which cover the entire family. Perhaps there are reasons for this. The Kalis do not have an attractive or outstanding personality. For their wide use in general practice, there are one or two remedies which have a definite, easily discernible, characteristic pictur…

Young Quarterbacks Rebound in Week Two

There were a few quarterback's that redeemed themselves in week two and were thus able to silence some of their critics.

Cowboys Week 2
Posted on 19 Sep 2010 by David Willow.
So it looks like the worst has happened for the Cowboys so far this season. They dropped their home opener to the Chicago Bears. Even with the return of both Kyle Kosier and Marc Colombo, the Bears effectively shut down the Dallas run game. Colombo and Kosier also showed a bit of rust with 2 false starts and a holding penalty. It looked like the lack of preseason play took it's toll on the two,...

Chicago Bears Stun Dallas Cowboys with 27-20 Win

With Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler's three touchdown passes today, the Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-20 at Cowboy Stadium. I'm wondering who was more surprised by the win: Bears Nation or Dallas? The Bears are now 2-0 and the Cowboys, well, they're 0-2. This is the first time since 2006 since the Bears have been 2-0 and nine years since it's been a 0-2 start for Dallas. Is it...

oats, cereal plants of the genus Avena of the family Gramineae (grass family). Most species are annuals of moist temperate regions. The early history of oats is obscure, but domestication is considered to be recent compared to that of the other grains—perhaps c.2500 B.C. During the Bronze Age, the time when horses were first used as draft animals, oats were widely grown in N Europe but were apparently still uncultivated by the civilizations around the Mediterranean. They have a high nutritive value, but of the oats now grown commercially, less than 5% is for human consumption, chiefly in the form of rolled oats or oatmeal for breakfast foods; they do not contain the glutenous type of protein necessary for making bread. The chief value of oats remains as a pasturage and hay crop, especially for horses. Oats are valuable also in crop rotation and have various industrial uses. Oat hulls are a source of furfural, and oat flour has been used as a food preservative in ice cream and other dairy products. Oat straw is preferred by farmers for animal bedding. Diseases such as cereal rusts and smuts (see diseases of plants) cause a heavy annual crop loss, but disease-resistant varieties of oats are being developed. Oats rival corn and wheat as a leading grain crop in the United States (the country of highest production), Canada, N Europe, and the countries of the former Soviet Union. The common cultivated species ( A. sativa ), native to Eurasia, is no longer found growing wild. Like wheat, it is broadly classified into spring and winter types, depending upon the season of planting. Oats are classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Liliopsida, order Cyperales, family Gramineae.

Grimm Review
- Beautiful artistic style.
- Unique setting and challenges.
- Fun mini-levels to break up the game.
- Poor checkpoint placement.
- Occasionally confusing level design and gameplay choices.
- Counter-intuitive controls; controlled momentum requires constant careful instant-braking.
Grimm is a beautiful simplistic platformer with some interesting gameplay ideas, however it fails to impress with its mundane pacing that's only occasionally punctuated by fun mini-levels.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Grimm by ROBOX Studios is a quirky platformer that places style before gameplay, wrapping itself up in a cloak of macabre black and white Victorian-inspired etchings that are offset by the amusing premise of needing to control a carriage to return a lost baby back to its uncaring parents.
The setting is quite bizarre, but charming at the same time and not unlike an abstract children's novel. This is further reinforced by the poetic musings between each level that act as story-bridge between each of the game's 10 varied worlds. The carriage (or perambulator if you prefer) is controlled by tilting the iDevice in a landscape orientation and two buttons provide quick access to a jump and 'brake'. Enemies and objects around the grim landscape can be bounced on or interacted with directly, however players will also get to use the baby within the carriage as a projectile, flinging the gurgling bundle of joy at dangerous enemies or allowing it to manipulate switches hovering over dangerous hazards.
Unfortunately it all feels a bit stiff and lifeless, with enemies often more easily skipped by jumping over them or ignoring them entirely and 'puzzles' requiring little more than patience and good aim (which is thankfully aided by an indicator). The carriage itself also acts in an incredibly bizarre fashion, with its momentum being incredibly hard to stop, requiring the instant-brake button to move back and forth with accuracy. A pervasive sense of confusion is also present thanks to some levels changing up the gameplay mid-level, which while ordinarily not so bad it can cause you to question what to do next. Additional mini-levels act as the real highlight of the game as they mix the gameplay up in clever ways while remaining succinct.
Grimm is a beautifully designed Edward Gorey-esque inspired nightmare world that begs for attention, but as a game it lacks impact and falls victim to inconsistencies throughout each world. A charming experiment, but difficult to recommend.
Thanks for review. Watching 2 min's of the video is enough for me to not want this. Would be great if App Store showed some video of the game before you buy, esp since their policy on refunds is ... questionable.
Thank you so much for the review. I loved the dark, quirky art style but was on the fence about the game. Think I'll put my money elsewhere. Maybe towards another Edward Gorey book. :)

This is the kind of presentation and artistry that I have come to know you by. Having been a member for a number of years now, my collection of your wall papers is extensive. When anyone who visits me sees them scrolling by on my computer screen, they are amazed and pretty much immediately want to know where I got them from. I do give them your URL and inform them that the cost is not only reasonable but well worth it. It is nice to come by every once and awhile and just visit the museum. Thank you Ryan for the wonderfully colorful experiences you give us. |
Evan |
The minecraft contest makes me wonder if I could combine this with Arcana somehow... Anyway, a very beautiful image. |
Buddercup |
I wish I was in this place. Sincerely. |
Chris |
I really like the final rendition. The first few I felt were missing... something. But I'm satisfied with the latest one! Keep up the good work! |
Ryan |
I promise I will make a multiscreen version of Gazebo eventually. People are begging for a Halloween wallpaper right and I only have one Bucephalus... |
Derek |
I am a huge fan of the Space/Futuristic ones. It would be so cool if you could "expand" on this one and make a Dual wallpaper out of it. Please? LOL!! |
Bob |
Dual screen perhaps? |
Evil |
Makes for a great terminal background--- use a greyish font with a hint of red for best results |
Kenny |
Like the main planet and the clouds. Love the water, dolphins, path, and center platform. BUT, the moons seem a bit weak in almost-pure white, and the blue pillars are a big problem for me. I don't love their texture either, but they REALLY need to be something OTHER than blue, with absolutely EVERYTHING ELSE being blue in the scene. I'm also a bit confused by the sunlight / mist / rain / hanging bead strings / whatever they are. The dark red version of these in the 3rd Pickle are WAY better. |
Romarch |
Sweeeet! You've toned down the lighting, which was my only real issue with the early versions of the piece. And I did not know I was going to like the translucent columns as much as I do! The vegetation is softer and looks like it's being slightly stirred by the wind in a direction that kind of blends in with the cloud-bands of the big blue planet...I don't know if that was intentional, but it is a very nice touch. The composition as a whole gives me that spacious feeling that the very, very first one did back in the 90s: "On a clear day, you can sit at the edge of the world and see forever." Awesome est! |
John B |
Gazebo has been a favorite of mine since 2003. I used the 2003 version for 2 straight years before switching it. This update is a very fitting one. It brings it into the modern age. But it just looks like the "model" in this is too far away from camera and it takes away some of the depth for me. I don't feel as if I am the one thats gazing out over the ocean like i did before. Also as a personal preference. I would absolutely LOVE to see this imagine remixed. For example: Age the setting 100 years. Make everything look crumbly and overgrown as if no one has sit foot there in decades. With the great Gazebo architecture so prominent it would look amazing decaying and falling apart. Just a personal preference though..haha |
Peter N. |
I've always loved your space abstracts. This one made me think of where the dolphins went when they left Earth in Douglas Adams 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. |
Max |
I would love to see a version of it without the vegetation at all. Like others have said, the vegetation just takes away from the gazebo and water all together. Both the marble and the transparent gazebo look decent along with the planet, either big or smaller, but just cannot get over the distraction of the vegetation. |
Dave T |
I love the design and the concept here. But I have to say, as I've thought for quite some time, that a lot of your renders are just too darned grainy for me to enjoy. I'm a lifetime member and I love your creative vision. I know my comments quite likely don't represent the views of some others. But judging by the comments below, I'm not the only one who thinks that this image -- and some others -- have too much visual static in them to enjoy. I'm neither an artist nor a technician, so I don't know what causes it, but I know what it looks like. And as much as I love the fantastical architecture, I can't enjoy the final product except from across the room. I hope that you won't find my comments discouraging -- I know from experience how painful it is to have people slam your work -- but I *do* hope that you'll keep exploring ways to do fantastic designs like this with cleaner and more appealing surfaces. Keep up the good work! |
John N. |
Too grainy! I have to agree with ThaProphet. Even the water doesn't look like 'real' water compared to the 2003 version. Does the new render program make water and foreground subjects grainy? Only the clouds and sky background have the best resolution. |
Jenanne |
I really like what you've done with the plants at the bottom, Ryan; it's the best of the five versions. I'm not as crazy about the tops of the semi-transparent columns; like cmmnoble I like parts of the previous renders rather than one in particular. However, I completely agree with you that it's time to move onto another project. Something for autumn or Halloween, or both? :) |
cmmnoble |
Looks great. The light through the columns and fewer plants at the water line give this a cleaner, more spacious feel. But I can't choose a favorite version, because I like different little bits of each one--grabbed them all from the pickle jar. :-) |
Ryan |
For the final render I've made the gazebo transparent and added some subsurface scattering to give it some backglow. I've also scaled back the vegetation at the bottom of the scene. Let me know what you think! The Pickle Jar images should be available shortly... |
Sharon |
I LOVE this! There was a wow moment when I came onto the site this morning. The planet seems truly a part of the image in this one. Like it's the boss of this little moon. Love it! |
Adamtrons |
I have to be honest that I prefer the original spacious look of gazebo2k131 or alternate gazebo2k133 over this one. I agree with Phil S. that with the huge planet so close, it feels very enclosed. Also, the planet ring kind of blends in and is lost. The medium planet on the left has a stretched oval shape to it, which looks odd to me. It's so interesting the variety of comments and opinions that this one is generating. I guess that is the sign of great art. |
ThaProphet |
I love the backgrounds for all the versions, but everything seems really grainy to me... is it just me? |
Adam |
I think this is a really cool one. I do agree that there seem to be a little bit too many of the red "weeds" at the bottom. I also think that there are almost too many dolphins. I feel like the dolphins pull my eyes away from the grandiosity of the planet on the horizon. I do like the original planet positioning better. It almost seems like there is more to admire. Perhaps skyline and water of version 1 combined with arches of newest version? Otherwise, very awesome! |
Jenanne |
The best so far; the night view is lovely. But I still think the red weeds at bottom detract from the beauty of the image. |
Jenanne |

Deanna |
This one is spot on. Love it! |
Simon |
The pickle jar images aren't appearing... |
betsey |
perfection!!!! now you've got it!!!! |
Elliot |
One of your best pieces ever Ryan. Is there going to be a Facebook Timeline version? |
Jenanne |
The best of the three. I like the gazebo columns and the hanging vines at the top. The sky and the rising planet are both terrific. I'm not wild about the new plants at sea level except for their coloring; they're too scraggy and not very attractive. Otherwise, this render is almost there. |
Phil S. |
Hey Ryan, While I like this piece, it feels more like a different concept than an update. I have been staring at the original and this one side by side for a while now. What I like about the original is the feeling of awe - a lone figure staring at the vastness of space, with a minimalistic and elegant structure and a wide, clean field of view. The new version's structure seems overpowered, dominating and limits the view, almost making me feel enclosed and claustrophobic. Maybe the view is too zoomed out? Maybe if it was zoomed in to the last/inner pair of columns so that we can see the view that this person is seeing? I dunno. I know its called Gazebo, so it has to have one in here somewhere. :) I also liked the originals water a bit more. I am not sure if its the new software, but a lot of your works lately have had a "grainy" look, especially on water and lighting effects. Of all the versions, I prefer version 1, without the dolphins and less busy/intrusive plant life. Although I do agree with previous posts that its a bit too blue. My 2 cents. Keep up the great work! |
Ann |
Don't like this one as much as the first two, the columns look too... uniform. they looked better with some clutter or aging. |
oldsailor |
Preferred the pickle jar version without vegetation or dolphins. |
Scott |
Ryan, this version is a definite improvement. Its softer and more refined. I think some green color to the moss above would help to offset the overpowering "Blue". Also, I know that you like to feature the ringed planets in your pieces, but what about a view of Earth rising? It might make it stand out more. (Just food for thought.) |
Ryan |
I've added a 3rd version of "Gazebo" to the gallery this morning. I had tried making the structure entirely crystalline (transparent) with v.2 but it didn't work out too well. I've gone back to the marble gazebo and removed the crawling alien vegetation in favor of a more "stalky" plant. |
Jenanne |
That should be "chubby." Not "cubby." |
Jenanne |
Not much better than version one. I do like the dolphins, the darker blue of the sky and columns, and the red flowers. However, I preferred the version one vines and plants even though they needed more color variation. Also, the weathering removed most of the decorative pattern from the columns, but the pattern is intact elsewhere. If you're going for a neglected appearance (an idea I rather like), I'd expect the path, foundation, and dais to be weathered as well, and probably deteriorating because they'd have more contact with the water. And, okay, the little cubby guy still needs some work; the shadowing makes his belly look overly bulbous. Perhaps if he was facing the other way. :) |
Gary |
Too much blue... something about it just says too much. Maybe if the arches were green from the algae from the sea, but to me there just too much blue. |
CHSpera |
Great update. When will you have dual screen versions available? |
Ross S. |
Stunningly beautiful, wonderful piece, keep up the solid and great work. |
dogchops |
Awesome piece of art Ryan...........This is why i became a member of DB.......Absolutely Awesome.......... |
Ann |
there's something that seems too.... sharp? about this image. I love it, but it doesn't feel smooth to me. Someone mentioned it looked bleached out, and I'd have to agree. Is there any way to soften the lighting? |
Eric |
I've always loved the original, and this piece has the potential to be a magnificent update, but like the others I'd like to see the dolphins. Also, I must ask about the person. While looking at the largest image I noticed the person is way off. I looks (to me) that the body is facing me (sans anatomical differentiation) as I can see (i think) a chest - stomach - and thighs. However, the arms (elbows) and back of a head are also facing me. So the person in the original was 10 times better than this new person. In the original the person was sitting, in these new one the person is shown standing and from the thighs up. V.2 or V.3 I'm sure will be much better. Can't wait to give it a 10, but it's just not there yet. Then I'm sure it will be a favorite (dual screen) wallpaper. :) Cheers Ryan! |
Dennis M. |
Oh, and for those of you stuck comparing this to the last one, my perspective is simple. Same world, same religion, different location, different time. |
Dennis M. |
Beautiful. This structure looks more like it has a ceremonial purpose. Something people could build and use for centuries. |
cy |
Sorry, I have to say I'm not a fan of this one. I really liked the structure in the 2003 version, which felt so much simpler and more elegant. |
Alex H |
Massive improvement on the original. The only negative standout for me is the detail on the little person. The person is essential, but there's something not quite right about him/her. Stuck in uncanny valley or something |
Littlemom |
Very Nice Render!!! :-) Love the blue tones I find it very soothing!!! |
jmpond |
Nice! Lone the aura it instills. |
Jenanne |
Promising render. I really like the new walkway and gazebo structure, although I agree it needs some polishing and toning down of the blue. Maybe it would help if the vines winding around the columns were some color other than blue -- ivy green perhaps. The dais is a bit confusing to look at; it's not clear if it has steps or ramps or something else altogether. And, sorry, I dislike the little cubby person; I can't tell if he's facing us or facing away. I hope you'll make a pickle jar version sans people as you did in the 2003 version. I'm looking forward to the final version! |
Nico |
Love it. Possible a night version with a stars in the background and lightning in the clouds? |
awyeah |
I don't like this at all, I miss masterpieces like: arrakeen, gothamgarden, leaftemple, satori .... Ryan what happened? :( |
Theo |
Ryan, this looks amazing! Gazebo was one of the first pieces that ever got me interested in your work and is still one of my all time favorites. I'm really glad you re-envisioned and re-released it. :) |
Dan |
Ryan, Gazebo was the first wallpaper of yours that I ever used and was the reason that I bought a lifetime membership. It definitely made my old CRT Monitor look awesome : ) |
Ryan |
The dolphins will be back in V.2. |
SimonRev |
I agree with Hoverwolf -- the first thing I noticed was the missing dolphins. |
SimonRev |
I agree with Hoverwolf -- the first thing I noticed was the missing dolphins. |
Adamtrons |
Outstanding. Blue is my favorite color, so I really like this. I appreciate the composition and drama of the piece. The only think that would make me happier is to see some tiny stars twinkling across the sky above. |
Hoverwolf1 |
I just noticed... Where did the dolphins from the '98 and '03 versions go? Are you not putting them in this one? |
Hoverwolf1 |
I like it; it does need a little work on the color. (Personally, blue is my favorite, but I would expect a little variation on the part of evolution on that planet, because, it seems to be lit by a blue star, not for a lack of warmth.) I normally try not to rate things above an 8, but you've been doing very well, in my opinion. Also, you've produced more than normal this year, all solid works. I may have to raise my standards now. |
Romarch |
Oww...too blue, yes (could do with some warmth), but mostly--the bottom part's too *bright*! Especially the pathway, but the whole base of the structure looks bleached-out; I can't really make out the pattern on the tiles, and I know I'm missing out. This could be really nice with less glare and a little more color. I do like seeing figures (people, animals) in those of your works that give them somewhere to sit or stand. They give a sense of scale, which to me highlights the size and magnificence of the things around them; and they help me to project myself into the spaces...hard to explain, but it's the main thing that drew me to your work in '99. Not all my favorites have people in them, but they all have somewhere to "stand", even if that means being in an unseen spot peeking out or in, or perhaps in an imaginary aircraft flying over or into or through. |

Because it's awesome. Because you are going back and revamping old works that re-spark a piece of me from when the previous work was out... but also fits nicely as a NEW wallpaper on my desktop. The Combination of nostalgia and newness does a lot. |
Zach |
Of course it is just my opinion, but I find this piece to look rather unfinished and unrefined. It seems grainy, and in the back of my mind, I see the smoothness of the 2003 version (which I wish had a dual-screen, by the way). :) Though I don't particularly care for this piece, I still thank you for creating! |
Ben |
I like it but I tend to find the people distracting... Plus I think the very blue vegetation doesn't add much, I think it would look better with less blue color, try rusting out the structure and greening the plants and I think it would look better to my eyes... Keep up the good work Ryan! |
Nightwynd |
It's ok. A bit busy, and looks a bit too much like several other well-known pieces cobbled together. |
Kyle |
A nice, grander variation on the original. |
suab |
A very interesting piece (and definitely an improvement over 1998 and 2003 versions). However, is there a chance for a version that would be less BLUE? |

From the hands of Patrick Burke, who now takes singular charge of our French Portfolio to the palms of Brian Pilliod and Juerie Park, our Domestic Portfolio, as shown on Tuesday, demonstrates a foundation of talented winemakers from California and the Pacific Northwest. From 11:00 to 4:30, the crowds flowed in with rain on their shoes. It was an excellent showing and we wish to thank all the winemakers and tasters who came by to celebrate the launching of another great year.

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
A contemporary of the second generation painters of the Hudson River School, George Inness evolved from an aesthetic close to the American landscape painters to a more personal style influenced by his knowledge of the latest European painting trends of the Barbizon School, which earned him renown as a painter in his last years.
Inness began training in Newark under the supervision of the travelling painter John Jesse Barker and in 1841 went to live in New York, where he studied under the French painter Régis François Gignoux, a former student of Paul Delaroche. In the mid-1840s he began to exhibit his work; first at the National Academy of Design in 1844 and the following year at the American Art-Union. He made his first trip to Italy from 1851 to 1852. He returned to the Old Continent in 1853 and visited France and Holland. On this second trip he viewed the work of the landscape artist Claude Lorrain and that of his own contemporaries of the Barbizon School, and his style became heavily influenced by these French painters, especially Théodore Rousseau. Thenceforward his compositions became less rigid and gradually shifted away from the canons embraced by the Hudson River School, adopting a much less literary approach to the American landscape.
George Inness's frail health largely determined his life and led him to move from New York to Medfield in 1860 and in 1864 to Eagleswood, where he was introduced by the painter William Page to the mystic teachings of the Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg and became a follower of this current of religious thought. Thereafter his art tended towards greater expressiveness and mysticism.
Inness travelled again to Italy in 1870, by which time he was a fully-fledged member of the National Academy of Design and had been involved in establishing the Society of American Artists. After spending four years there followed by a brief period in France, he returned to America. He settled in a farm in Montclair, New Jersey, which he only abandoned for shorts spells at the Niagara Falls, in Virginia and in California. He died during a trip to Scotland in 1894.

Real world ROI results with UCS servers – a detailed study at Loughborough University
I recently worked with Loughborough University on a financial impact study of their initial deployment of Cisco UCS. The study documents their findings of a dramatic improvement in IT efficiency, bearing out the advantages that attracted them to the UCS solution. Loughborough's Customer Case Study has been revised with the results of this TCO study as well new details on the next stage of their deployment of Cisco Virtual Experience Infrastructure (VXI) Smart Solution.
We examined Loughborough's projected growth rates and compared the continuation of their previous rack server environment against a UCS solution combined with an expansion of their virtualized environment. Server consolidation and reduced administrator workload contributed to exceptional results: a total savings of US$878,789 (40% OpEx and 60% CapEx) with a 225% ROI and 22% IRR. Compared to the previous environment, Loughborough's UCS deployment will drive down cost in several key areas over the coming five years:
- server hardware – 38%
- switching infrastructure and cabling – 80%
- power and cooling – 49%
- new server provisioning – 79%
- virtualization software – 39%
"When we compared the legacy server and network with one based on Cisco UCS, TCO effectively halves over a five-year investment lifecycle."
Dr. Phil Richards, Director of IT, Loughborough University.
As a result of Cisco's Unified Fabric approach, the study shows that Loughborough will need only six switches (three redundant pairs) to support their end state vs. 30 in their legacy environment and a corresponding reduction in cables from 646 to just 44.
These results are typical to what other customers achieve when they switch to UCS. See my first blog post, Yes, Cisco UCS servers are that good.

Vicksburg Call was recorded in a studio with a live, intimate atmosphere, which yielded an overall grittier sound with lots of feeling. Gogo was affected by the loss of some very influential blues legends and colleagues while creating this album, and the songs explore themes of love and loss, reconciliation, regret, acceptance and hope for new horizons. This is a seriously rockin' blues album.
Come On Down features twelve diverse tunes; six reinvented yet classic covers and six originals inspired by his recent pilgrimage along the "Blues Trail" in Memphis, Mississippi and Alabama. Gogo has invited some seriously talented friends to join him on these songs including Rick May, David Vest, Shawn Hall, Billy Hicks and Tina Jones among others.
Christmas With The Blues is Gogo's first Christmas album and he didn't pull any punches. The album features a number of wonderful guest artists including the one and only David Vest. Living on a Christmas Tree Farm is only one of the reasons Gogo cut this gem. The season belongs to great melodies and wonderful lyrics tinted by a good sense of humour and more than a smidgen of blues. Some say (even Gogo himself) that this is the most bluesy he has ever sounded!
Soul Bender had Gogo back in the studio that produced Skeleton Key and Halfway to Memphis with old friend and fabulous engineer Rick Salt handing the technology, buttons and liquor cabinet. This no compromise recording features a newfound direction for Gogo's voice and a return to the blistering guitar solos that he loves so much. Soul Bender was nominated for Blues Album of the Year at the 2012 JUNO Awards and a SiriusXM INDIES Award. The album won the 2012 Western Canadian Music Award for Blues Recording of the Year.
During the recording process for Different Views, Gogo definitely had some unique sights to inspire his 10th album. Instead of the usual confines of your typical recording studio, the bulk of the album was once again recorded at his home - overlooking the 160-acre Christmas tree farm and forest that make up the Gogo family compound.
Acoustic, another JUNO-nominated album, was recorded at David's home in between his extensive touring and offers fans an intimate and interesting look at the acoustic side of his talents as Volume 2 of the "Official Bootleg Series." The album features the rich tones of David's 1930 National Steel guitar as well as his 1915 Gibson and a modern day 12-string.
David Gogo's eighth album, entitled Vibe, is an all-original affair with a unique blend of songs written with the likes of Tom Wilson, Craig Northey (The Odds/Colin James) and John Capek, who penned the hit Rhythm of My Heart for Rod Stewart. Vibe showcases Gogo's newfound vocal strengths, on songs like I'll Do Anything and 300 Pound Shoes, which on this release, match his profound skill on guitar.
The special "Live At Deer Lake - Official Bootleg" is a live recording of songs mostly found on Skeleton Key and was nominated for a JUNO Award in Canada. The performance took place just outside Vancouver at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Skeleton Key expanded Gogo's horizons into new and exciting territory. The album featured three singles that were played coast-to-coast on Canadian Rock radio. Halfway to Memphis is Gogo's first studio recording dedicated to the electric blues genre. Dine Under the Stars is a live rockin' blues party while Bare Bones is an acoustic blues tour de force. Change of Pace is a rock blues album that had commercial success at rock radio in Canada when it was released in 2000 through the Top 40 single - Sad & Lonely.

This blog is an invitation for us to explore conscious leadership. In my 25+ years of working with business leaders I have observed powerful, predictable patterns, some of which produce amazing outcomes and others that lead to dissatisfaction, plateaus or more serious consequences. For my part I will offer my expertise and observations of people working in business organizations as well as my experiences in the field of self-mastery. You're invited to find and share in these posts that which is engaging for you and maybe our collective knowledge and practice will enhance the leader in each of us. Let me share a personal story to let you in on how my study of leadership and self-mastery all started. And please, for more details on the professional side, check out the About tab in this blog.
This quest for what I view as "the ultimate powerplay" (results +fulfillment) began when I was close to flunking French at the University of Michigan. As a wise and clever 20 year old I thought it would be interesting to study, not Spanish, a language I had had 4 years of high school training in, but French. Yes, something fresh, romantic, fun. Why not. Didn't occur to me that every other student in French 101 actually had several years of study in French behind them and the class assumed that to be true for every student. By the time I realized I was way over my head it was mid-terms. What was I going to do? I couldn't cram for the tests; I couldn't magically get my mouth to produce sounds my mind had yet comprehended. What was I to do? I tried my very best and got the results I most feared, a "D" as in Devastated. I had to find a better game plan but what?
Now I see that moment as pivotal in my career. Failure wasn't an option and yet I had reached the limits of my current capabilities. I was getting emotional and that was further clouded my thinking. The teacher and the language lab were only helping so much. Having transferred into this school I didn't have any classmates to lean on yet and frankly I was embarrassed. So now what?
This was the first time I became aware of something I notice consistently now in business: the arrival of the strategic choice point. Often leaders lack awareness when they are at this point. Or if they do know they've hit 'that moment'- when you don't know what to do next but something needs to be done – they, like me in those early days, don't really know where to turn.
Fortunately this uncomfortable yet strategic choice point was actually my launching pad. Through a flyer I found a French exchange student and I took lessons. He made French real for me. When we worked together it was total immersion. I had to start deciphering sounds, gestures, objects and connecting them with words. I was learning the language as children learn their native tongues. We studied at the library but also had meals together, saw movies in French. I walked around campus listening to his seemingly mumbled monologues and I was learning. I heard the rhythm, the tonalities, saw how subtle body movements produced sounds, started to create meaning, making sense. I was learning a new language and gained confidence. Remember my original intent was to study something fresh, romantic and fun? Well long story short, the intention did manifest itself. I was inspired and managed to get passing grades, 'romantic' took a whole new meaning when I moved to France after graduation and I started an exciting quest that changed the course of my life forever.
Thinking about such pivotal moments in time can help you understand what shaped your career and leadership. Looking at an example will highlight your decision making, resourcefulness and values. So what about you?

I really, really, really enjoy Point Reyes blue. I will try it with the salted butter!
My question, also -- how the heck can you tell? I once got some Raclette, and I totally couldn't deal. I like durian, but that stuff was....
I didn't really think about regions or varieties, but just went with which cheeses I liked best that I tasted, and thought would combine well together. Essentially, there are two hards, one soft, one semisoft, and a blue, which I feel is a nice balance. The figs and peaches acted as nice palate cleansers, as well.
Beautiful! I love figs with a cheese plate. I also sometimes like some dried apricots (depending on the selection), and blanched almonds, too.

Marine geology and geophysics are scientific fields that are concerned with solving the mysteries of the seafloor and Earth's interior. Marine geologists, like all geologists, seek to understand the processes and history of the solid Earth, but their techniques differ from geologists who work on land because they study geologic (Earth's) features that are underwater. The oceans cover more than 70% of Earth, and water obscures a wealth of information about the rocks and sediments (particles of rock, sand, and other material) in the ocean basins. Marine geologists rely mainly on physical techniques to uncover the features and processes of the seafloor.
Geophysicists are scientists who study the physical properties of the solid Earth, and often work closely with marine geologists. Geophysicists use experiments and observations to determine how Earth materials such as rock, magma (molten rock), sediments, air, and water affect physical...

Oscarpussy! Eight reasons Bond deserves BAFTA recognition
From BAFTA with Love...
The Producers Guild of America has announced its nominations for best productions for 2013. Rather like the Golden Globes, these nominations serve as an indication of the films that may be in line for a win at the 2013 Academy Awards.
Of course Argo, Lincoln, Les Miserables, Life of Pi and Django Unchained are among the films announced by the PGA for this year. However, against all odds, and perhaps to the surprise of critics, fans and pretty much everybody, Skyfall has also been nominated – the first time ever for a 007 movie.
While the pompous Hollywood Academy could only come up with one Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win for Best Song (well done Adele!), Skyfall has racked up eight UK BAFTA nominations. It's a clear indication that the film has earned more than just massive box office receipts. And there are quite a few good reasons why Skyfall should win all eight – if there's any justice in the world.
Skyfall is the most successful Bond ever made
Indeed it is one of the most successful films of 2012, the total gross for USA being $299,363,000 while the foreign total is £733,500,000. Skyfall has given Argo, Django Unchained and The Hobbit a run for their money at the box office. It's not surprising that Skyfall is a big hit, since all the Bond films have done very well. Even the least commercially successful, The Man With the Golden Gun (1974), grossed over $97 million worldwide, more than enough to keep Aon Productions happy and the series ongoing. Of course good publicity is always a good factor for a movie, but after fifty years, 007 only has his name to sell a film whereas other films have to rely increasingly on gimmicks.
Recognition for Bond after fifty years
It's very rare for any movie series to last as long as James Bond and still maintain its quality. Universal's monster cycle of the thirties and forties lasted, on and off, for 15 years, while Hammer Horror and the Carry On series managed a good 20 year run before fizzling out. Fashions and public tastes have changed a great deal since Dr No (1962), so cinema as both a medium and a form of entertainment needs to adapt. Hammer were unable to deviate from their tried and tested formula, as were the Carry Ons, but Bond, even with the change of leading actor, has survived the Cold War, political correctness and occasional critical maulings to come out on top.
Bond will always remain Bond
He's had various challenges over the years, from Derek Flint, Matt Helm and The Man from UNCLE to Jack Ryan, Jason Bourne, Mission Impossible's Ethan Hunt and even Johnny English! Even when a Bond film wasn't quite so well received, or the various legal and financial problems with United Artists and MGM that prompted rumours that 007 had had his day, Bond has come out on top, rising above it all to save the world with his usual style and panache.
Skyfall is an excellent film
Fans have their favourites. Some are Connery fans, others prefer Roger Moore, so opinions will always be divided. (As far as the James Bond actors go, you can read mine here.) I for one do not think that Skyfall, brilliant though it is, is in the same class as From Russia With Love or Goldfinger. But whether you're a fan of Daniel Craig or not, there is no denying that Skyfall has surpassed every fan's expectations. It is still first-class entertainment but with an edge that takes 007 to a new level.
There is still life in the old formula
Any movie series that goes on for a long time will become tired, repetitive and even boring, so trying to keep things original and fresh while maintaining consistency is a constant battle for filmmakers. Changing writers and directors is an essential factor, but not always successful when the end result looks strained. Bringing in a director with as high a calibre as Sam Mendes could have proven counterproductive if he did not understand how Bond works. Fortunately for Aon, choosing Mendes was nothing short of inspired. He understands Bond, but also he pushed the character beyond his comfort zone by rearranging all those familiar elements into something new and exciting. Bond has left his comfort zone – and won!
As producers of popular films, Aon is up there with Hammer and the Carry On gang. They are films made strictly as a form of entertainment while never pushing the boundaries of high art. True 007 will never be played at an art-house cinema or fashionable film festival, or will indeed get a thumbs-up from most high-brow critics, but then that was never the intention. Even Hammer's When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1967) got an Oscar nomination. BAFTA has clearly recognised the cinematic achievements of Skyfall and honoured the film with just more than nominations for technical credits.
Bond is not Bond without the star
No matter how brilliant the writing, direction and production is, the main focal point is the actor who plays Bond, and how good HE is! With Skyfall, Daniel Craig gives what has to be the performance of his career so far. Quite a considerable achievement considering fans and critics weren't too impressed with Aon's decision to cast him as 007 in Casino Royale. In his first two Bond films, Craig had to work hard to win everyone over. Once he accomplished that near-impossible task, a more relaxed and settled Craig was able to really get his grips into the character and take everything a stage further. On the strength of his brilliant performance, Craig is on the verge of super-stardom, something no other Bond actor has been able to do during or straight after their time in the role (it took years for Sean Connery to achieve it). Unfortunately the BAFTAs have omitted Craig from the Best Actor nomination (shame on them!), and Oscar success has also been given a wide berth. That said, Craig has now earned the kind of recognition and respectability that should lead on to better things. He may not get an award this year, but it'll be just around the corner, along with something in the New Years Honours. Arise Sir Dan!
In truth Bond has survived everything – changes of actor, changes in public tastes, changes in fashion. You name it, Bond has been through them all with typical flair. The incredible success of Skyfall has meant that 007 is able to face fresh challenges as the medium marches through the 21st century. The question is, how can you improve on such a brilliant movie?
Until then, roll on another fifty years.

Darling (Izabela Plucińska | Poland | 6 min.)
What is memory loss? In the labyrinth of fear, a stranger becomes a close person and home turns into a trap. Groping her way down the track of familiar objects and shapes, the character is trying to go back to the life that used to be her own. This latest clay animation from Izabela Plucińska is a captivating picture of the feeling of being lost and alienated and an attempt at putting the pieces that fail to fit together into a whole.
Izabela Plucińska was born in 1974 in Koszalin. She graduated from the Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, the Polish National Film School in Łódź and the Konrad Wolf University of Film and Television in Potsdam‑Babelsberg. In 2004, her graduation animation Jam Session was awarded the Silver Bear at Berlinale and screened at numerous film festivals worldwide. Currently she lives in Berlin where in 2006 she founded her own production company Clay Traces.

See whats what.
According to European law, the meat, milk and eggs from animals which have been fed with genetically modified feed need not be identified specially. The GMO labelling requirement applies only to products which have been produced directly from genetically modified plants. Consumers groups and politicians repeatedly have criticized this legislation. Currently, the Finnish Minister for Agriculture has spoken out for the application of GMO labelling to meat. In Germany, the Ministry of Agriculture has proposed an optional label for products derived from conventionally-fed animals. On the other hand, European livestock production is, for the most part, dependent on imported GM feed and, from a scientific view, there is no difference between animal products from livestock raised with or without GM feed. Regarding this question, GMO-Compass outlines the latest headlines and facts.

It's 9/9/09, and it's time for a flash comic commemorating the date!
Ashe Satan, an attorney working in the city of Hollywood Metro, Crescent Tear, recalls to her boyfriend the times when her father would pick the absolute wrong date to try and take over the world.

Fun enough
I thought this was a pretty cool cartoon to watch, even though I have seen better from you. I liked it how that woman appeared normal at first, then her breasts and bra just seemed to stick out. It kind of reminds me of the movie "End Of Days" (I have not seen it, BTW), where the date is really 999 that the world ends. The cuter animation was by far better. I liked the appearance of Jesus and him calling his dad. I had similar disappointment when June 6th, 2006 came and there was no apocalypse.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Cool. You pass.
One issue, it ain't that hard to animate the mouths moving at least. Do it. You can even stick to tweening motion if you like.
I prefer not to tween the mouths, since they look real forced, and lack the fine finesse of FBF.
Since I dabble in flash comic, it's a preference that I chose not to animate the mouths in both styles.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
feels pretty cliched
Have you seen Lucy, Daughter of the Devil on Adult Swim? It's pretty much exactly the same concept. Of course that was professionally produced so it's somewhat an unfair comparison.
Regardless of the originality of the concept, the recurring joke became predictable very fast. The voice work was also a little weak. The crowd dialogue at the end was kind of funny though.
It has been over three years since I last saw Lucy, Daughter of the Devil, so I don't remember the series much, but the mood struck me as pretty laid back and really odd. The original seed for the series was when I failed to make "Jesus Christ: Ace Attorney", which is where Ashe would've originated.
Yeah, I know the joke is predictable. But let's face it, there's not much I could really do with the joke, and I told it essentially three times in one video, because I used the Rule of Three, which is pretty much ingrained in my style now.

Amazon EC2 provides the ability to place instances in different regions and Availability Zones. Regions are dispersed in separate geographic areas or countries. Availability Zones are located within regions and are engineered to be insulated from failures in other Availability Zones and provide inexpensive low latency network connectivity to other Availability Zones in the same region. By launching instances in separate Availability Zones, you can protect your applications from the failure of a single Availability Zone.
Amazon EC2 provides multiple regions so you can launch Amazon EC2 instances in locations that meet your requirements. For example, you might want to launch instances in Europe to be closer to your European customers or to meet legal requirements.
Each Amazon EC2 region is designed to be completely isolated from the other Amazon EC2 regions. This achieves the greatest possible failure independence and stability, and it makes the locality of each EC2 resource unambiguous.
Ejemplo #1 Viewing the available regions
is used to find out which regions your account has access to.
will return an array containing information about which
regions are available. Each array will contain regionName and regionUrl.
$ec2_region = new Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2_Region('aws_key','aws_secret_key'); $regions = $ec2_region->describe(); foreach($regions as $region) { print $region['regionName'] . ' -- ' . $region['regionUrl'] . '
'; }
When you launch an instance, you can optionally specify an Availability Zone. If you do not specify an Availability Zone, Amazon EC2 selects one for you in the region that you are using. When launching your initial instances, we recommend accepting the default Availability Zone, which allows Amazon EC2 to select the best Availability Zone for you based on system health and available capacity. Even if you have other instances running, you might consider not specifying an Availability Zone if your new instances do not need to be close to, or separated from, your existing instances.
Ejemplo #2 Viewing the available zones
is used to find out which what the status is of each
availability zone.
will return an array containing information about which zones
are available. Each array will contain zoneName and zoneState.
$ec2_zones = new Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2_Availabilityzones('aws_key', 'aws_secret_key'); $zones = $ec2_zones->describe(); foreach($zones as $zone) { print $zone['zoneName'] . ' -- ' . $zone['zoneState'] . '

BLUE Mini's are made with the finest natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and have no chicken (or poultry) by-product meals and are corn, wheat and soy free.
Inspired by BLUE
Blue was a smart pup. He knew that if one biscuit was good, a handful was a lot better so he coudn't wait for the next bag of Mini Bars to be opened.

1 Put the spinach into a large pan. Pour over a couple tbsp water, then cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve, leave to cool a little, then squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop. Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into a bowl along with the spinach, feta and eggs. Mix well.
Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loosebottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch up and make sure the filling is covered. Brush with a little more oil.
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook the pie for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Remove from the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve with salad.
