Kicks off Series Two of Broadchurch (in the UK) And if anyone is unaware, Erin Kelly has written a series of accompanying short stories to be released at midnight after every episode. Each short will contain entirely new material, based on the episode that has just aired. Now I can tell you that Erin's book of S1 is amazing and captures the ambience of the series perfectly so I am VERY excited not only to watch S2 but also to read her "extra content" alongside it. Think its a great idea!

gov RELEASE: 05-051 OHIO COMPANIES RECEIVE PARTNERSHIP AWARDS FROM NASA GLENN AND ALLIANCE PARTNERS The Glenn Alliance for Technology Exchange (GATE) presented four Ohio-based companies with the GATE Partnership Award today. GATE, a collaboration of NASA's Glenn Research Center, the Ohio Aerospace Institute, and Battelle's Great Lakes Industrial Technology Center, all of Cleveland, established the Partnership Award Program to aid small Ohio companies interested in enhancing their products and processes with NASA technologies. Twenty-six proposals were submitted from all over Ohio and four were selected in this second round of GATE Partnership Awards. The award consists of $50,000 in cash plus $50,000 in NASA assistance in developing the new product or process. "NASA Glenn is proud to transfer its technology and expertise to the products and processes of small companies in Ohio," said Glenn Director, Dr. Julian Earls. "GATE has provided us with a vehicle to reach out and impact these small firms, and, by so doing, impact the economy of the state of Ohio." The winners of the GATE Partnership Award Program include: ITEN Industries, Ashtabula, Ohio, will work with researchers from the Polymers Branch at NASA Glenn to create a manufacturing process for a strengthened aerogel, an open-structured silica foam in which 99.8 percent of the volume is empty space. Although it has hundreds of possible uses as a heat, sound and shock insulator, aerogel is extremely fragile. NASA researchers have created a process to strengthen aerogel but it has only been produced in a tightly controlled laboratory environment. A viable manufacturing process should lead to a material that is affordable, strong and easy to create.
Theken Disk, LLC, Akron, Ohio, will partner with NASA Glenn's Antenna, Microwave and Optical Systems Branch and the Electron and Optical Devices Branch. Together, they will pursue development of an artificial spinal disc with the capability of communicating data to an external receiver for post-operative monitoring. Theken's spinal implant, the eDISC, employs a unique design that mimics the movement and load response of a natural spinal disc. The team's addition of a MicroElectroMechanical System sensor and a radio-frequency antenna to the eDISC should allow surgeons to monitor patients for up to one year after surgery.
H Cubed, Inc., Olmsted Falls, Ohio, will leverage its existing work with NASA Glenn's Life Prediction Branch and the BioMEMS group at the Cleveland Clinic to further the development of high resolution ultrasonic transducers for use in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) devices. IVUS imaging is used to detect coronary artery blockages. The transducers developed under this project should vastly improve resolution and image quality of IVUS devices, making them a more useful tool for cardiologists.
Innovative Engineering & Consulting, Middleburg Heights, Ohio, will work with the Diagnostics and Data Systems Branch at Glenn to develop an innovative Infrared (IR) imaging system. Current commercial IR devices, used for such essential tasks as locating survivors in a burning building, can have limited effectiveness when intense heat sources are present. The proposed Enhanced Dynamic Range Thermal Imager would allow a firefighter to differentiate an intense heat source (such as a fire) from a person. This product also has applications in defense and security fields. "We are creating research and technology partnerships of direct benefit to Ohio-based companies and to NASA Glenn. Tapping into cutting-edge R&D at Glenn to help businesses in Ohio is critical to technology-based economic development," stated William Seelbach, president and CEO of the Ohio Aerospace Institute and GATE Project Manager. "These awards can make a critical difference to small technology based companies by providing an infusion of federally-funded technology expertise. This alliance, in partnership with NorTech and our Ohio legislators, is growing technology companies in our own backyard," said Priscilla Diem, executive director, Great Lakes Industrial Technology Center. The Glenn Alliance for Technology Exchange was established in October 2004. GATE offers several mechanisms designed to foster technology transfer initiatives between NASA Glenn and Ohio companies. -end-

Adventures in Philadelphia.....
Not a lot of traveling during my trip to Philadelphia to spend Christmas with the BF but I have done some interesting things. I finally made it to Geno's Steaks one evening for a true Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich. I was less than impressed and I know I've had a better sandwich in good ole Tampa.

Birthday Party Fun!
We had such a fun time at Oakley's first birthday! We were so happy Katie, Vicki and Bill were able to fly out to enjoy this special day with us! The party had a zoo theme, which was so fitting as Oakley is our little monkey! Thank you everyone for making this a day so memorable!

Oakley's One!
We can't believe our little baby is ONE! Where does the time go?! Oakley has brought so much joy to our lives! Not a day (or hour) goes by that I don't think about how lucky I am to have him in my life! He is so much fun, and has the greatest sense of humor! Although, I wish I could pause time and have him as my baby forever, I am so excited to see how he continues to grow and develop into this sweet little boy! We love you Oakley!

Freshman girls cast growing pains aside during first game in high school gym
February 23, 2006
For the Lansing High freshman girls basketball team, it has been tough to feel at home this season.
Any time it has had a home game, it has been forced to play next door in the Intermediate School gymnasium. Then, two weeks ago when LHS was supposed to finally have a Tuesday home game in the high school gym, the game was canceled because Immaculata didn't have enough girls to field a freshman team.
Tuesday evening, the Lions finally made their debut in Johnsmeyer Gymnasium. The result was a stunning come-from-behind 32-26 victory against the Santa Fe Trail Chargers.
"The girls were so excited to play in here tonight," freshman coach Carrie Ritchey said. "They feel like this is their home court, and they haven't had a chance to play on it.
"I told them, 'You've got to defend this court and start the run tonight for all the teams (the JV and varsity girls played later).' They really stepped up."

Perhaps playing in the high school gym caused a few early-game jitters, but the Lions struggled offensively in the first quarter as they made just one of 12 shots. Fortunately, their defense was good enough that they held the Chargers scoreless for the first eight minutes and took a 5-0 lead into the second quarter.
Lansing (4-10) got sloppy in the second quarter and turned the ball over nine times. Santa Fe took advantage of those turnovers and built a 17-10 halftime lead.
"In the first half we had some troubles," Ritchey said. "We'd get the turnovers, and then we'd do something silly like travel or throw it away real quick. At halftime I told them, 'Those are things we can change. We have control of those things.' And they took control of them."
The Lions made a concerted effort to get the ball to the post in the third quarter. They consistently found Alexis Ellis down low. Although she struggled to finish her shots, she sank a pair of free throws in the quarter and Cassandra Murphy added four points on put-backs to keep the Lions within 23-16 entering the fourth quarter.
The momentum built in the third quarter carried over to the final eight minutes when Lansing closed the game on a 16-3 run. Ellis scored on a lay-in on the first possession of the quarter, but a four-minute scoring drought followed. Keasla Hundley kick-started the Lions again with a three-pointer with 3 minutes, 35 seconds left to pull them within 23-21. A free throw from Murphy made it a one-point game.
Santa Fe snapped its six-minute scoring drought with a jumper, but Ellis answered quickly with a spinning jumper in the lane. The next time down the court Hundley gave Lansing the lead for good with another three-pointer. On the next possession, Brooke Didde dropped the dagger when she buried a trey. Ellis and Hundley each sank a free throw in the final seconds to seal the victory.
The victory was big for the Lions for a number of reasons. It was primarily a confidence-builder for a team that needed the boost. After losing just one game in eighth grade, the Lions have struggled at times to adjust to the high school game.
Ritchey said her players finally are becoming comfortable with the faster paced game.
"I'm hoping this will be a real growing season for them," Ritchey said. "I told them at the beginning of the season, 'This is a long season, and it's a different season. You're going to see teams you thought you knew, and they're going to be awful different.' Finally they're realizing that we've got to be different, too."
In addition to Ellis, Murphy, Hundley and Didde, other freshman players are Natalie Loreti, Kenzi Smith, Katherine Sebes, Katie Cristiano, Haley Gwartney, Lindsay Beamon, Mallory Barnhouse, Casey Andrews, Rebekah Sewing and Paige Reynolds.

Internet Anonymity at Risk as Real Costs of Free Speech Weighed
Cronin, Mike, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
If it were up to Marcus Ranum, Internet users would have to buy rights to an e-mail address.
A fee of $1,000, for example, would deter cyber criminals and spammers because communicating on the Web would no longer be free, Ranum said. They couldn't accumulate infinite numbers of online identities without paying.
The dollar figure cited is simply a hypothetical -- it could be any amount that would act as a deterrent, said Ranum, chief security officer at Tenable Network Security Inc. in Clearfield County.
"Realistically, your Internet service provider would take care of it," he said. "It would work exactly like a cell phone. You sign a contract with your cell phone company. If you send 15,000 text messages, you get a huge bill and the company knows where you live."
There are others who, like Ranum, support removing anonymity on the Internet as a way to reduce cyber crime, cyber bullying and even cyber attacks. They say a Web that identifies all its users makes those users accountable and traceable.
But opponents argue anonymity is crucial to the free flow of information on the Internet and preservation of civil rights. Some say not only would bad people merely circumvent such efforts, eliminating anonymity is simply impossible.
"Attempting to build such a system is futile and will only give criminals and hackers new ways to hide," said Bruce Schneier, chief security technology officer of London-based BT Global Services. One problem would be proving the person connected to a machine's IP address actually sent the relevant message.
Schneier described applying the idea in practical terms: "We'd need agencies, real-world organizations, to provide Internet identity credentials based on other identification systems -- passports, national identity cards, driver's licenses. We have nothing that comes close to this global identification infrastructure."
Even if that type of system existed, it would make identity theft a more profitable crime, Schneier said. People would lose Internet IDs just as they do a driver's license or passport today, he said. Schneier believes a person intent on remaining anonymous could send information through an "anonymity server."
Dave Farber, a former chief technologist of the Federal Communications Commission and a Carnegie Mellon University distinguished career professor of computer science and public policy, agreed that removing anonymity is technically impossible.
"On the average, we've done well the way we are," Farber said. …

Shred on-site for maximum security.
There is a very good reason Sergeant Shredder only hires former firefighters, military and law enforcement officers who pass a comprehensive 7 year background check. We take the security of your confidential documents very seriously. According to CNN Money, identity fraud is on the rise. Every two seconds an American becomes a victim of identity fraud. In 2013 the number of identity theft instances increased 500,000, affecting 13.1 million victims.
Most identity fraud is perpetrated through non-electronic means – such as dumpster diving. Without regular shredding, a business is exposing itself to a potential security breach. Not only can it negatively affect a business' reputation, data breaches can carry expensive penalties.
This is one of the reasons why Sergeant Shredder specializes in mobile shredding. We come to your location and shred all documents thoroughly. Our process leaves nothing to chance.
Protect Customers, Employees & Your Company.
Corporate espionage costs US businesses billions of dollars in losses annually. According a report by software security giant McAfee, the cost of malicious activities is wide reaching, including:
- Loss of intellectual property and confidential business information
- Reputation damage due to breaches of sensitive customer data
- Escalating costs to insurance premiums, network security prevention and recovery efforts
Identity theft now tops the list of consumer complaints. The Federal Trade Commission received 1.1 million complaints about fraud schemes; they reported more than $1.6 billion loss to consumers.
Believe it or not, your trash is a valuable source of competitive and private information. When data ends up in a dumpster, it is readily—and legally—available to anyone who mines it. Each instance of corporate fraud costs the victimized business an average of $800,000.
Negligent mishandling of 'waste' documents has forced the enactment of laws designed to protect the privacy of businesses and individuals, such as: FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act), the Privacy Act of 1974, the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Wisconsin Shredding Law (February 2000), California Assembly Bill 2246 (October 2001), Georgia Identity Theft Law (July 2002). California vs. Greenwood (1988).
Whether safeguarding company trade information or a client worried about consumer privacy and identity theft, the need to protect the confidential information entrusted to your business is now the law.
Conserve & Save the Environment.
Businesses are concerned with sustainability as well as information security. The benefits of recycling shredded waste are numerous. According to the EPA, to make one ton of paper using recycled fiber saves the following: 17 trees, 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space, 360 gallons of water, 100 gallons of gasoline, 60 pounds of air pollutants and 10,401 kilowatts of electricity.
On-site shredding offers clients the peace-of-mind of knowing sensitive information has been totally destroyed before the recycling process begins. Sergeant Shredder uses industry-leading technology for a better environment. Our fuel-friendly trucks are state of the art, with shredding capabilities of 8,000 pounds per hour and payloads of up to 11,000 pounds. The shredded material is compacted and mixed with other data, making it virtually unidentifiable.

It is times like the never ending today's that we all ponder about the quality of life we target, and the reality of where we truly stand. Am I happy? I'm not asking myself, I'm the voice in your head who ever so often screams for confirmation, confirmation that what you are doing with your life is who you truly are, or are you living a life that you would gladly trade with someone else.
For starters I have to mention that the grass on the other side may not be greener, but instead there may be more of it.
The publisher of this Stinky Blog asked me to iterate a bit on ex-patriotism, this I shall do but first I would like you to understand that the term "ex-patriotism" is nothing more than political propaganda aimed at creating guilt amongst the populous so they don't choose another life location.
I for one am appreciative for what my country have done for me and always will be, but I realized that what my country has to offer are nothing more than services. What I mean is that you can get a cheeseburger in 30 seconds, have the fastest internet service, air-conditioning in every store you walk in, nine hundred cable television stations, but is that quality of life or are we living in a gigantic happy meal box filled with temporary mind bending gadgets and illusions.
You must ask yourself; once you reach the outer limits of your "service" area, are you surrounded by the subtle but more important things in life that truly fills the soul with happiness? Is your wife fat and bitching because she can't fit in Gucci shoes; are your kids never-endingly antagonizing you for an Xbox;, and you, do you really need to drive a car you can't afford so that your neighbors don't think you're a poor putz? Yeah, to each his own, but that doesn't sound happiness to me.
Realize that all these services, items, and whatever else is out there are just distracting you from what you truly love to do and experience. Then again, you may not be aware that there are other choices available more suited to your natural attraction for life.
I have visited 75 cities in 22 different countries, 9 countries of which I lived in for a period of my life, so don't tag me with the poor unsuccessful bastard label. Rich or poor, my desires never shifted. How many times have you lost your keys and checked your pant pockets multiple times to see if you missed them somehow? Let me tell you, they are not there! I searched for my desires back home, multiple times, for years, but guess what… just like your keys, not there.
Lastly I moved the Central America, more specifically Costa Rica. Let me start by saying, "if you can't live without Starbucks, don't move here!" But isn't that the whole idea, to get away from the addiction and sway toward your instinction? I am happily involved with a captivating woman from this beautiful country, and we spend our time traveling across these luscious lands visiting wonders that I have never experienced, and to multi-mile long unpopulated beaches, where yes, we have made love.
I am not promoting Costa Rica, what I am trying to promote, is life. I don't know you, you may love where you live, but you may also be fooling yourself. You only live once and if you don't do it now, you will one day be so far removed by all those distractions that you will have forgotten your fantasies, your dreams, and worst of all, yourself.
You were born somewhere. On a map with no names, that could be anywhere. Claim your life by living in a place where those subtle but more important things in life exist specifically for you and me.

Warpaint, Beach Fossils, Mini Mansions – Knitting Factory – June 15th
When I opened the door to the show area at the Knitting Factory, I was immediately bombarded by a blast of sound. Quite the change from Sunday night's gentle percussion and airy vocals. Drums definitely seemed to be the focal point for Mini Mansions, the first openers of the evening. Interestingly, neither the guitarist nor the keyboardist/main vocalist are in the spotlight. Nope. The drummer proudly assumes the position at center stage.
It's easy to rag on Mini Mansions, but I suppose they really weren't so bad… at least not when they make it through songs. In a cringe-worthy few minutes early into the set, they took a lengthy break between songs without looking to banter to help fill the dead air. Shortly after they finally started playing again, they stopped abruptly and the guitar player ran off stage. At one point, the audience even got thanked for "sticking through it." Yikes.
One unexpected highlight during their short set, however, came when they started playing a cover – Blondie's "Heart of Glass." The tempo was definitely slower, and it was weird hearing male vocals, but it was kind of fun.
Luckily, Beach Fossils were up next. Full disclosure: I've seen Beach Fossils on countless line-ups around the New York, but until last night I had somehow never seen them play. The bar was set fairly high. In addition to all the talk, I witnessed a charming run-in between a teenage boy and the Dustin Payseur, Beach Fossils' lead singer, before the show when I was buying my ticket. The kid, after initially expressing his interest in the band, turned to Payseur, saying excitedly, "We're totally here to see you! Not the other band."
Despite the fact that I was blinded by spotlights during the first few songs in their set, Beach Fossils did not disappoint. The Brooklyn group lifts the best parts of recent sonic trends without getting too bogged down in one thing. They're not too sleepy, psychedelic, or twee. Instead, they occupy a pleasant middle ground.
Up until this point, the evening had been pretty testosterone-heavy, making Warpaint a welcome change of pace. The four female members started going crazy as soon as they walked on stage, dancing and jumping around wildly to the house music. As they got ready to play, one of the guitarists leaned into the mic, saying, I'm all out of breath. That really gets your adrenaline going, dancing. Indeed.
With their utterly unrestrained dance moves and their rich, sultry vocals, the LA 4-piece was almost animalistic in their appeal – especially when they traded in lyrics in favor of guttural sounds. But the thing about Warpaint is that these ladies also know how to slow things down. Their repertoire is not stocked simply with frenzied dance songs. Last night, they also played a string of slower songs, including the lovely "Billie Holiday," which lifts the chorus to "My Guy."
But for their last song, they got back to business. OK! This is your last chance to dance! yelled one member. Then, following the usual thank you's, some big news came at the conclusion of Warpaint's set when one of the band members revealed to the sold-out crowd that they'd be leaving LA and moving to New York next year. Sweet.

Your boat provides wonderful recreation throughout the season. Utilizing a storage unit when your boat is not in use can free up space in your garage or driveway and protect it from the elements. Put your baby to bed with these 4 storage tips.
One Last voyage
Take your vessel out for one more spin before storing it away. Make note of any repairs that must be done so that you will have an easier time getting ready for the next season. Hull damage should be fixed immediately, since cracks can worsen when the boat is stored.
Bath time
Remove the drain plug, then give the decks and hull a scrubbing. Clean the strainers and the thru-hulls, and open the sea cocks to drain any remaining water. Tidy up the interior as well, and be especially careful to remove anything that will spoil or mildew over time. Be sure to give everything time to dry thoroughly before the boat goes into the unit.
Dinghy Detox
To remove dirt, salt, and corrosion from inboard and stern drive boats with raw water cooling systems, flush the engine with fresh water. If you are in an extreme climate, running anti-freeze into the cooling system is also recommended. Outboard motors should be flushed and drained.
There are small systems on your ship that should be lubricated before long periods of storage. For example, on stern drive models, marine grease should be applied to the engine coupler and the gimbal bearing. Moving parts such as latches, hinges, ratchet mounts, etc., should also be given close attention.

Fellow TV Addicts, you know me very well by now, am I right? You could probably rattle off my favorite shows and everyone would list Friday Night Lights as my number 1 or 2, right? You'd mention that that I hate 7th Heaven, and that Kiefer Sutherland is my hero. You'd probably also be able to tell everyone about my current love affair with Bones, and how badly I want to meet Patrick Bachelor, the character from Men in Trees.
Imagine my surprise when I was granted the incredible opportunity to have a charming little Q&A with my favorite person currently on TV – Taylor Kitsch, AKA Friday Night Lights' Tim Riggins.
If you're not watching Friday Night Lights yet, I hope his candid answers intrigue you enough to check in on Wednesday night at 8PM. I promise you, 10 minutes with this show, and you'll forget about anything else!
I want to start off by saying thank you – I'm one of the ardent fans that worships FNL for all its perfection. thetvaddict.com loves the show and your character in particular!
Taylor: Thank you and I appreciate the kind notes on the show.
What attracted you to "Friday Night Lights" (which I feel is one of the only steady bright lights on the TV canvas this year)? Had you seen the movie or read the book off of which the pilot was based?
Opportunity to work with Peter Berg was something I just couldn't pass on. He [Berg] played a great role in casting me and helping me through the pilot and so forth. I'm still close to him and looking forward to working with him in the future.
Playing Tim Riggins was also the other factor. I could see right away he was something I could definitely sink my teeth into. I love playing him and feel he has many layers to him.
I watched the film AFTER getting the role of Riggs. I liked it a lot but I feel our show has had the opportunity to go deeper into the lives of the characters which is great.
How do you (and the cast) feel about being completely worshipped by critics (and your network, NBC), but not being devoured by the entire viewing public? For the record, I'm dumbfounded. Haven't missed an episode, won't miss an episode, and though it may sound crazy, I can't imagine the TV world without FNL on weekly.
Very flattered and I know we are all very proud of the show and what we have accomplished thus far. We have had such great support from NBC and knowing that has allowed us to just try and keep focused at doing our work and having fun — rather than worrying and stressing about ratings and who is and who isn't watching the show. Obviously we would love a bigger audience, but we feel if we can keep doing strong work and staying real with what the show is all about it will simply be a matter of time.
Along those lines, without saying "it's a show about the Dillon Panthers football team", how would you describe the show for a viewer who might be interested but is still apprehensive about the whole sports aspect of the storyline?
The show is about life and how [at] any moment it can change — right before your eyes. It's very real and relatable to all age groups. Football is obviously a part of the show, but once given a chance you will see how it plays a role in bringing the characters together (or apart) AND HOW IT RELATES TO SO MANY OF LIFE'S MOMENTS.
What should we viewers expect to see as the rest of Sweeps and the TV season comes to an end?
Expect to see a ton more character development with some great moments that will leave you even more excited for the next ….that's all you're getting. [Note: I like to imagine he made a cute little smirk type face there….]
What is your take on the Tim/Lyla/Jason/Tyra quadrangle? Are you pro- any specific coupling, or is the "true to life, things don't always work out in the end" story the way you want to see it go?
I think it made for some amazing moments and for some amazing TV. I loved playing and being a part of it. It's fun to work with all of them — especially playing the high stakes that were on the table. I don't think I'm 'pro' any coupling really. Like I said, I just love playing the stakes of everything that wasn't said in those great moments. Lookin' forward to hopefully doing more.
Is FNL and the storylines that you all portray anything like your high school experience? Also, how much of Taylor Kitsch is shown in Tim Riggins?
Thankfully no. My high school days did not consist of what Riggins goes through. It's a lot for anyone to take in especially a 17 year old kid. Sure there's parts of me in Riggins. I feel everyone can relate to him in one way or another. Being jaded and hurt with people he wanted to trust so badly, to how he struggles to deal with such difficult moments that life has thrown him and how he buries his feelings or resort to alcohol to escape it all. I love his intensity on the field and I'm grateful to play him like that [because] being involved with sport my whole life just adds to the realism of those moments.
Who are you closest with when the cameras stop rolling?
Minka Kelly, Kyle Chandler.
Who do you wish you spent more screen time with – who do you wish shared a more meaty storyline with Riggins?
I would love to work more with Kyle Chandler simply [because] he's brilliant and makes everyone better around him. I've learned a lot just watching him. Billy (Derek Phillips) and I have great chemistry and I would love to work with him even more as well.
Where do you see yourself as your career moves forward — What are goals you've set/where do you want your career to take you?
I simply want to work with great actors and do challenging roles that I could envelope myself with. Never know where this or the next thing will take you, just wanna have fun and do rewarding work.
Who do you model yourself after, as far as acting goes?
Love Sean Penn and his intensity and also Daniel Day-Lewis — such great presence. I also love comedy so hopefully I'll be able to tackle some diverse roles.
What would you be if you weren't acting?
I love kids so something working with kids. Nutrition for ill kids would be great to get involved with. Something like that if I wasn't acting.
What TV are you watching, when you have time? What are your absolute favourite TV shows?
Favourite shows range from 'Inside the Actors Studio', Family Guy, FNL, Documentaries…
Aside from finishing up the season on FNL, what is next on your schedule? How busy are you through the rest of the year – anything big on the horizon?
As far as what's ahead in the year, I guess time will tell. I'm excited for what's to come but we will soooooon find out!!! Stay tuned.
Thanks for this and stay tuned… Friday Night Lights is getting very very gooooood…
Is there anything better than that right there? Do yourselves a favour and check out this amazing show on NBC (Wednesday nights at 8PM). Catch up on old episodes at NBC.com or on Itunes! What more do we need to do to get you all as hooked as we are here at thetvaddict.com??

Former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton adviser Huma Abedin is considering writing a "tell all" memoir, and apparently, she thinks her story is worth quite a bit of money.
About $2 million, sources told The Hollywood Reporter.
According to the newspaper, Abedin, 40, has met with top literary agents to discuss a book that is "envisioned as a reflection on how her personal and professional lives collided during the campaign."
Advertisement – story continues below
The book reportedly has Clinton's blessing.
"She's more interesting than her husband. We know who he is. She's the ongoing mystery," Princeton University presidential historian Julian Zelizer told The Reporter. "But she'll have to put herself out there. That's what the publisher will be looking for."
TRENDING: Trump Continues Traumatizing Libs, Revokes Obama's BP Oil Spill Response
Abedin has never given an interview on the subject of the scandals surrounding her husband, former Democrat congressmen and failed New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, and some publishers might find that appealing.

However, the fact remains that she would actually have to offer up some new details to make the book worth buying, and there's no indication that she might be willing to do that.
In fact, some sources say she is willing to give the marriage another try, so telling all on Weiner wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.
The book deal could, however, help out with paying for Weiner's legal defense, as he faces possible indictment on child pornography charges.
There's no doubt that there would be some people interested in Abedin's story, but it's quite ambitious of her to seek out so much money considering her boss' last book flopped. The book might be as much of a tell-all as any of Clinon's books, which do nothing but tell a little.
For $2 million, Abedin better be prepared to tell a lot.

Five years on the Big Island, so deep in these valleys.
His campsite empty now, simple and clean. The trails leading off to the stream, to his plants, to his bathroom, all smooth and manicured. The wall of reddish rock standing tall behind his flat tent clearing, a good dry cave hidden in the bushes there. Collin had wrapped his tent and his cooking pots, his tarps and his water jugs, and stuffed them deep into the cave. They should be safe there for as long as he might be away. His memories seemed strange. That he might have grown up in a regular home. A big house. Too much electricity and wasted water. Over eating. So much garbage each week. It seemed foreign and wrong to think that his childhood had been normal. And that normal was so wasteful. It seemed wrong to him that his parents could have raised their kids in that false environment. Collin stood there, staring at his empty campsite, his home. He was tall and slim. A tiny backpack all he needed. Barefoot. His legs excited to cover miles today. He let his eyes play over everything. Now just a simple clearing with clues, a cold fire pit, some rockwork, those smooth flat spaces, the clean trails, and the solid earth that been lived on, a contrast to the soft forest floor of moss and leaves, ferns and trees. Sunlight warm and lovely filtered down through the canopy.
He had loved this home, but it was time to go.
Collin had moved to the Big Island at eighteen. He picked UH Hilo because Uncle Bo had gone there. It seemed like a natural transition after high school. He never had a long-term plan. He was living in the present. Collin had rented a room on his parents' dime, all smiles and college pride. He used an old bicycle to get to classes. In his first month there, in the blink of an eye, he had been enchanted by a beautiful girl.
She had introduced herself as Ku'u. Ku'u Lehua. They had been two of seven students in a small Hawaiian Studies class. For both of them, it was their favorite class. Collin and Ku'u sat across the circle from each other in that classroom, and they had agreed strongly on each of the topics their teacher raised. They had seen eye to eye from the beginning. Ku'u would give him these beautiful smiles across the classroom. Glowing and warm. They were teenagers convinced that they were on top of everything in their world. Ku'u had been raised in Hilo. She had a nice car and a job. She invited him to join her on weekend adventures. She showed Collin the best of her island. And Collin was easily swept into the magic of the Big Island. He loved the cold rivers and the vast lava flows. He loved staring up into the mountains and seeing snow. He loved that his guide was a beautiful, happy, strong, proud girl.
They would sit together, their shoulders wrapped in a shared blanket and watch the night sky. He told her, in soft tones, about the best of his home on Maui. He told her of hunting alone in his mountains. He told her of his time working alongside his family on Kaho'olawe. She listened closely and kissed his closed eyes. Collin and Ku'u fell easily into love.
As their first year of college ended and summer began, they headed off together for a long weekend camping trip in Waipio.
That camping trip had gone wrong.
Collin knew now that they hadn't been ready for life together outside of college. They had been too young.
Collin had gone on the camping trip with his girlfriend hoping for peace and quiet. His lovely Ku'u wanted to use the time down in Waipio Valley for intense discussions and plans.
Ku'u had told Collin of her dreams. She said that she wanted to finish her degree on Oahu. Perhaps aim for Law School, find a career. She talked of the possibility of spending time in California or New York, perhaps a master's degree, or an important job. She whispered in his ear that she wanted three children, a dog, a home. She talked and talked, revising her plans, focusing her dreams. Always placing Collin alongside her, whether it was UH Manoa or Manhattan.
She had asked for his dreams and aspirations in return. To compare notes. To collaborate. Collin's mumbled answers didn't line up. He wasn't prepared for the conversation and he tried to weasel out. He shrugged and went pouty. He stared into the campfire and went silent. She talked gently to him. She tried to inspire him to create his own future. Collin barked at her. He told her to mind her own business. He told her to leave him alone. He snapped at her like a cornered animal. Ku'u couldn't believe it. She was taken aback. She expected more from him.
Collin had smeared memories of the argument that erupted. He remembered that they had both been yelling. She had knocked over some stones that he had carefully balanced. She had tossed supplies off into the woods. She had gone overboard.
Then she left. She turned her back on Collin, flipped him the bird, and walked from the valley alone. The rest of the day went by in silence. Collin sat there angry and hurt. He felt hollow. He felt wronged. He missed her, and wished that he might be able to go back and do it different. He prayed that she would come back.
He sat there by the cold dead fire for hours. She didn't return. His self-pity turned to disgust. And his wish for Ku'u to come back to him, turned to hard stone. Collin decided that he would stay there in the woods. She had abandoned him there. She had driven back to Hilo. And so be it. He would stay there in the valley.
That evening Collin packed up his camp and moved deeper into the mountains. Days later, hungry and out of food, moving even deeper into the valleys, he stumbled into a tall, overgrown patch of marijuana. He dropped his bags and was taken by the power of the sight in front of him. He knew right away that the field had been abandoned, forgotten, and Collin felt completely right and natural as he found a safe spot for his gear, filled his canteen at the nearby stream, and started to carefully clear away the jungle that was taking over this farm. His farm. He was amazed to find banana, kalo, an ulu tree, two mature avocado trees. He found a hillside covered in sweet potato. He found a lovely spot to set up his tent, his home. And then time blurred. Happy, quiet weeks turned to peaceful, meditative months. Seasons shifted and then shifted again. Collin was alone. Going back to UH Hilo held a bitter taste in his mouth. From his perch in Waimanu he saw society as flawed. His parents and siblings were flawed. His old life was a lie.
Collin would walk back down to Waipio a handful of times each year. He would find a connection. He would sell his crop. He would walk down there to the ocean, every few months, on clear mornings, and make friends with the campers. Listen to their stories of the world. Trade his buds for supplies. Give some away. Trade some for cash.
Collin would swim at the beach and then happily move back into the mountains, alone, with a small bundle. Satisfied. He was different now, hardened and content, perhaps only slightly bitter at the world.
And then, like a revelation, with a summer harvest finished, his dry cave full of sticky flowers, three or four years spent back in that valley, Collin realized that it was his duty, his calling, to return to Kaho'olawe. It was his new mission, to go back to the lonely island, and to live there.
When he made this decision, out of the blue really, Collin became happier than normal. He smiled. His life had meaning and purpose again. He felt strong and proud that he had lived so well on his own. He was a self sufficient adult. He had graduated from his own University. He cleaned up his camp, said a silent good-bye to the upper valley that he had called home for so long, and began a comfortable walk back towards civilization. He slept that night on the beach at Waipio. The next morning, as the sun slowly climbed up, Collin climbed up, and they met, sweating on the paved road south of the valley. He sat up there in hot, dry grass looking down across the black asphalt. The parked cars. The tourists. He had just traded a ten pound duffle bag full of semi-dry buds for a wad of money. He felt a little sick. A little bit anxious, but he was done.
Collin didn't want to live on the Big Island anymore. He needed to get off the island and keep moving towards his destination. Deep in his head a voice said that he would come back. His campsite, his home, would be there. He had buried a tin with a gallon zip lock full of seeds. He had a high mountain grove of males and females that would prosper up there, on their own, forever.
He knew that if he needed to, he could always return to Waimanu.
Collin was weathered and leathery. His hair was long and tangled. His beard was long and already had streaks of gray. He looked fifty but he was only 24. Up on the road, with its yellow paint, tourist cars and street signs, Collin wished he had a pair of scissors. He was self conscious. It was a strange and foreign emotion for someone who spent months alone. His body was lean and ropy, almost skeletal. His spine and his ribs, his hips and his elbows protruded. He was different from the humans in normal society.
Collin sat there in the sun with his tiny backpack of supplies, the pair of tattered shorts he was wearing and that was all.
He had the cash in his pocket and it would be enough. It would be more than enough.
Collin walked for an hour down the hot road with his thumb out, hitching for a ride. That's a long time to hitch on a beautiful day along the Hamakua Coastline. Usually people are good at picking up strangers. Cars zipped by him not feeling like the barefoot, dark, long-haired, homeless looking man would be great company. He was smiling and content. He looked wild.
Eventually, a raised pickup truck with some big bruddahs who weren't afraid of anyone or anything pulled over and pointed thumbs towards the truck's bed. The huge guy who was sitting shotgun stuck his bald head out the window, smiled, and said, "Hilo". Not a question.
Collin nodded and smiled, gave a thumbs up and then shot a pinky out to make a shaka, and climbed into the back of the truck. He wasn't exactly sure how his travels would pan out. But his plan was to make it, eventually to Makena on the South facing side of Maui. He was going to get a little boat, a canoe maybe… He was going to pile up some good supplies, food, water… and cross the channel to Kaho'olawe and set up camp.
Collin hadn't checked in with anyone. He had no idea what was going on on Kaho'olawe. He hadn't checked in with society in years. He figured that things hadn't changed… things were probably going at their same slow, pace.
Probably the old base camp at Honokanai'a, on the west end of the island was still the only place where people stayed. Collin let his memory of the old army buildings fall away and a more cherished image materialized in his head of steep gullies and protected beaches, and his desire was to go and find a little cove to call his own. He knew that sweet drinking water would be his biggest issue. He knew that surviving would be different than his life back in Waimanu.
"KoheMalamaLama," Collin said into the wind. He looked out at the Horizon. He yearned to see other islands. His childhood had always held islands on the Horizon. Always Molokai. Usually Lanai. And sometimes, during certain trips and occasions, he could stare south at Kaho'olawe.
A smile was firm on Collin's face when the pickup truck pulled into a gas station in Town. Collin climbed down stiffly. He handed the driver two twenties folded in half. "Thanks, have a good one," he said. He smiled and headed off on foot. He figured he should buy a shirt and some slippers… and a pair of scissors.
That night, sleeping down by the ocean with the strange feeling of his face and head a lot lighter, his hair and beard trimmed short, Collin wrapped his brain around taking an airplane versus a boat to get to Maui. He preferred to travel by boat… but he wasn't sure how much work it would be for him to cross to Kona side and look around, and maybe never connect with a captain.
Collin had stared at his old driver's license, and it seemed fine. He figured the old ID and a pocket full of cash should be enough to get him on a flight.
The next morning, with a clean shirt, and a somewhat cleaner look, Collin hitchhiked to the Hilo Airport. He paid a hundred dollars cash for a twenty minute plane ride.
He was feeling great as he sat at the gate. It was an entertaining culture shock for him to leave the mountains and be back in normal society, watching all the different types of people. Standing in line to board the plane. Finding a seat and saying a polite, "Hello," to the old aunty sitting two seats away at the window. He wondered if anyone might guess that he had been in the jungle for so long.
There was a magazine in the seat pocket.
Before the airplane began moving Collin was flipping through it. The images were eye candy. Beautiful women. Beautiful Beaches. He imagined himself in his little cove. He wondered how long it would take him to set up. He imagined a dwelling in the cool shade of a steep gully. Perhaps he would find a stream… who knew… Collin wondered dreamily if he would be able to paddle north to Maui and convince some bright-eyed girl to accompany him back to his new home. Somehow he understood that it would be easy.
The magazine had no mention of Kaho'olawe. No surprise. Collin put it back where he had found it, and looked sideways, across the aisle and through the window as the plane wheeled out to the runway, paused for a moment, and then throttled up, pushed to full speed, and floated up into the wind.

Clueless sequel on the way?
at 12:20 AM
After how many stars my last pop-gossip bit got (really? you gave it two stars?), I'm not sure I should be sharing this, but I couldn't help myself.
It's been such an emotional roller coaster: rumors had been bouncing around the twitterverse that Alicia Silverstone is in the works for a sequel to 1995's smash (cult, gay?) hit, Clueless. And, so, of course I was like, totally stoked. But then today, I heard, like, that may so not be the case. And I was like, totally disappointed. But then they were all, "we're not really sure either way."
So it might be coming. And that's what made this post worth it.
And, feel free (as if you need permission) to tell me in the comments that I should stick to local news and forgo emergency announcements about Hillary Duff and Alicia Silverstone.

Honey, you do what makes you happy. Different people like different things.... that's why Baskin Robbins makes 31 flavors. Or why there are so many different kinds of wine, and so on. So just keep doing what you like to do and don't worry about trying to please everyone.ReplyDelete

Automatically generated messages can help us to survive in information overloaded environments. Think about the Out-of-Office-Notifications and how they help us to curb the amount of stuff we have to get through when returning from vacations.
There are probably several prosaic or poetic ways to circumscribe the only relevant thing you want to communicate in these Out-of-Office-Replies, namely the date when you are In-the-Office again. Considering this, why don't we take the chance to have a laugh with it, as Zack Whittaker suggests in his ZDNet blog?
My favourite one is the following:
"You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, you wouldn't have received anything at all."
What are your favorites?

Well Water Testing
What we test for: Total Coliform Bacteria and E. coli using the Colilert method required by KRS 223.400 - 223.460 and 223.991. We provide you with a KENTUCKY WELL WATER BACTERIAL REPORT for use in reporting test required by the above.
When are we open: Samples will be accepted Monday through Thursday, before noon, when the university is open. If you need to bring a sample on a Friday or during a university holiday, please call one of the numbers below to insure we will be able to receive and process it. We can often accommodate you. On rare occasions the entire lab may travel to a meeting so that no one is available to process your sample. We will not be able to accept water samples on the following dates in 2018: March 15th-25th, May 28th.
Collecting your sample: Use a sterile container (a jar or bottle put through a hot dishwashing cycle is sufficient or you may obtain a sterile container from us). Collect at least a pint, keep on ice, and deliver to us at the Biology Building, Rm 2112. It is the building across 16th Street from Wells Hall and Faculty Hall. We must test your sample within 6 hours of your sampling.
When will your results be ready: Once we have your sample processed it must be incubated for 24 hours. The results will be ready for you at that time.
What if your sample is contaminated: Contamination by Total Coliform indicates your well may be contaminated from a human septic system and, therefore, may contain human pathogens. Testing for E. coli is recommended. Presence of E. coli indicates that an unsanitary condition exists and shock chlorination is required. After disinfection your water should be retested. (Note: some finance companies require both test to show 0 bacterial contamination.)
How to treat your well: Pour ½ gallon to one gallon chlorine bleach into your well and let sit overnight. Open all the faucets and run water for 1 hour to decontaminate the plumbing. When you can no longer smell the bleach in the water you can take a new sample for testing as above.
How much does it cost: We charge $20.00 for the test. If you pay at the time of delivery we can mail, email, or fax your report. You may also pick-up your results at Rm 2112 Biology Building. Checks should be made payable to Murray State University. With the increased costs for the Colilert test we can no longer give a discount for retests.
Your use of our service is very much appreciated. For assistance our telephone number is (270) 809-2786.

Recently I saw that the blog 'Lipstick Wisdom' had talked about my own dyslexia blog.
The Lipstick Wisdom blog provide links to other blogs which give 'practical, actionable advice from women and families who have already been through a particular life experience or health event.' Their vision is' to build a web community dedicated to empowering women through their shared wisdom and life experiences.'
Links and information are given for a range of subjects ,including dyslexia and learning disabilities.
I certainly think its true that mums ( and other family members ) have a lot of knowledge and wisdom that they can share with other people in similiar situations !!! As busy parents we all need practical tips to help us with the problems we face daily.
I like the title of the blog – Lipstick Wisdom ' – quite appropriate and catchy …!!!
It maybe worthwhile checking out the other blogs, covering dyslexia and learning disabilities that they have given links to.

Quarter Note is an interesting cartridge! It has lots of musical "stuff" on it, but it also has great sayings and a beautiful font. I used my Gypsy to weld the words "before" and "after". "Amazing" and "Beautiful" were phrases that were already on the cartridge. This layout is from July when my oldest daughter Jordan got her braces off! She had them on for 2.5 years, she had to wear headgear, rubber bands and had all kinds of appointments! But when they came off....OMG! She was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! When we asked her what she wanted to eat more than anything....POPCORN! Gotta love her! We are so proud of her!
Next up is the Word Collage Cartridge. If you are familiar with this cartridge, you know that it basically is a series of words, themed together to make a pretty collage. I've used this cartridge to cut out Halloween sayings and other fun themes. But as you can guess, there are alot of little pieces that need to be glued down and sometimes, they get lost. So this time around, I used my Cricut markers in my Expression to make this sign! The mat board is actually a 11 x 14 flat canvas, that I stamped with coffee cups from the Fiskars coffee stamp set. I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Rusty Hinge for some color, as well as the i-Rock for some bling in the corners. I matted the green paper with black card stock and added a bow! I love how it turned out!
Here's the whole line up just in case you got lost!

I'm having fun with Japanese clays this month! The texture of the clays are silky and soft and a joy to work with for sure. I'm in love with the colors and the ability to accent the charms with clay hearts, whip cream dollops, and berries and glittery rhinestones.
I've got to put some varnish on these charms later on before adding them to my Etsy shop.
Until next time ^____^

It's been a sad time around the urban farm lately. Egg production has never been this low, even when the girls first started laying. We feel lucky to get one egg per day, and that egg is most certainly coming from Portien. Who is Portien, you ask? She would be either Portia or Ellen, one of the Hamburgs. We honestly cannot tell them apart anymore. They are most frequently observed as a high speed flash of polka-dotted-black-on-white streaking through the yard or darting into the coop. Let me back up a bit in the storyline.
Golden Campines
Silver Speckled Hamburgs
The list of runner ups included Delawares, Brahmas, Sussex, and Welsummers, two of which ended up in our second batch of chicks early this year. Basing your decision on a website description of breeds is tough. As many of you probably know, breed characteristics come second to the many unique qualities of an individual. It's great to say that Dominiques are friendly birds, but you don't know how your birds will behave until you have them in your coop. I also feel that how you raise and handle your birds plays a large role in their later interactions with you and others. That said, our decision to bring in two Hamburgs was not the best, nor was it based on accurate information.
|I told you they were molting.
Hamburgs are one of the most notoriously flighty birds you will encounter. They do not like to be handled. They will avoid being caught at all costs. And, for those of you who've been reading this blog for any length of time may recall, they can fly very well. Catching Portia or Ellen is a skill that has taken a lot of time to develop. I am grateful for one thing: they are bird brains.
Hamburgs don't like to be confined. This is great if you have plenty of room to let them wander, but city chickens usually equal confinement to a coop for much of the day. Once they're out, you're best to just let them find their way home at sunset.
|Ellen (or Portia) stares longingly at the loaf of bread. Good luck, skinny bird.
That flightiness I mentioned before necessitates wing clipping every year. This is a valuable skill, and I'm glad to have learned it, but it prevents you from being able to show your birds at events, which is one of the main reasons people choose to keep Hamburgs. They are truly beautiful animals.
Our Hamburgs suck at foraging. I swear. You can tell by the color of their egg yolks. Portia and Ellen's eggs are the lightest in color of all the eggs we collect from our hens. The Dominiques lay the darkest yolks.
The pros of Hamburgs (or, What This Post is Really About):
This bird is sometimes called the Dutch Everyday Layer, and they got that name for good reason. They will honestly lay six eggs a week, unfailingly. In fact, as I mentioned above, they are currently our only source of eggs. We can't tell the difference between Portia's and Ellen's eggs (and, yes, we can tell all the other girls' eggs apart), but there is almost always a lovely, shiny, slightly creamy colored egg in the nest box. Sometimes that egg lands in the compost bin or behind a thorny thistle we forgot to pull up, but these girls are the most reliable layers you will ever meet.
If you do choose to let your Hamburgs out (which we do, due to the afore-mentioned wing clipping), they stand a better chance of escaping potential attacks from predators than the rest of the flock. As I said before, they're impossible to catch. This can be helpful if you have neighborhood racoons, opossums, cats, dogs, etc.
Why aren't the rest of our ladies laying? Molting. And when I say molting, I cannot emphasize enough how bad these chickens look. After plucking dear little Rusty earlier this year, I am reminded of that event every time I see Raquel. She looks like she's nearly ready for the stew pot. Molting is tough on a hen. The protein required to grow all those feathers back makes her moody and hungry all the time, and her body can't keep producing eggs when it's stressed like that. I've heard loads of methods to speed the process up, but I think this is one ailment that only time can heal. Meanwhile, we haven't given out surplus eggs all month (because we haven't had any). The neighbors have been worried. My breakfasts have been boring. Baking makes us worry that we might have to (*gasp*) buy eggs on the open market. Those chickens aren't the only ones stressing in this family.
|Dear God, that is one awful-looking chicken. Poor Raquel! She's already half plucked!
On the bright side, Ursula has grown her tail back, her feathers are looking lustrous and full-volume again, and I think she may be contemplating laying once more. Also, *someone* has been doing a lot of nesting in the upper coop. The wood chips are routinely scattered into drifts, and little hollows have been made in corners. Could Winnie or Dark Meat be thinking about laying?

My First Red Hot Chili Peppers Show (Impressions and Duluth Concert Review)
I was waiting for this day for so many years! Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of my favorite rock bands, came to Duluth (a small town near Atlanta, GA) in the 10th of April, 2012 (after their January Duluth date was cancelled due to the Anthony Kiedis's injury). While living in Russia I was dreaming of seeing their live show. They came to Moscow once in 1999, and had a huge gig on the Red Square within one of the MTV shows. I lived in my home town of Yekaterinburg that time, and watched that show on TV being impressed and excited by the performance of the band, but was not financially independent enough to even consider traveling over 1500 km to Moscow to see them. Later, in 2007, I first time did travel that distance to see Aerosmith, but that's a different story.
So back to RHCP in Georgia. When I found out they were coming it was already too late to buy tickets at Ticketmaster for the initial not expensive price, because all the tickets were sold out within few minutes of the sale. Unfortunately I was moving from Russia to the US those days to pay close attention to the official tickets sale date and be able to buy tickets in the first seconds of the sale. So my boyfriend (at that time) and I had to buy tickets at a much higher price (about 50% more expensive) from a re-seller we found at Craigslist. All other tickets resale web sites had the same rows tickets being 2+ times more expensive than the initial Ticketmaster price. (Such a profitable business, isn't it? I wonder how it is not controlled and not restricted in the USA). We ended up buying tickets from the same Floor zone, but different rows, because the guy who sold them to us didn't manage to buy two side-by-side tickets since the tickets around were bought almost instantly by other people. Well, we were happy that we at least bought those tickets, since I was not willing to buy tickets for $150+ each, and therefore could miss the show I was dreaming about for so long. Jumping a little bit further in the story, we in the end watched the gig from a closer raw, because there were two empty side-by-side sits. However, it took us a while to find them. Also, if there were still Ticketmaster tickets available, I would buy tickets to the front Floor section to better experience the show (the tickets there cost about $80), but the re-sellers were offering those tickets for $500-600! Insane!
Anyway, the gig was amazing, the band's performance was great, however being not close enough to the stage has made our experience not as incredible as it could be. The crowd around us was rather calm too, so we didn't feel the uniting energy you sometimes feel at other gigs when the energy of the band's performance at the stage naturally merges and mixes with the crowd's mood, and creates unforgettable experience no matter how far you are from the stage.

Right after the gig in April I wrote a concert review, and would like to share it with you:
Red Hot Chili Peppers came to Georgia again, this time supporting their latest album 'I'm With You'.
Like in the other cities of the North American tour, the concert has started with Santigold opening act. Her performance accompanied by the band and two dancers was a fun start of a great night.
After 45 minutes of a warm-up show and a small break during which the stage equipment was changed, the lights were turned off and the long-awaited Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer appeared on the stage. However, it should be mentioned, that along with the RHCP members there were guest musicians. One of them was Mauro Refosco – a Brazilian percussionist, who performed on several songs of the 'I'm With You' album and who is currently traveling with the band on their world tour. His playing beautifully complimented the show.
Photo. The start of the RHCP gig in Duluth, GA, April 10, 2012. Mauro Refosco is at the photo on the right.
During the whole concert Flea and Josh were jumping, rolling and doing other crazy things on the stage with their guitars. Flea even managed to walk on his hands at one point. No doubt, the crowd really loved it! Anthony and Chad were also rocking on the stage and actively interacting with the crowd.
Talking about the band-fans relationships, it's worth mentioning that the band has recently announced that they will make a book about their fans. You could actually see at the concert how the band tries to emphasize the importance of their fans: at different points of the show random people from the crowd were showed on the huge stage screens in real time.
Both set-lists and number of songs were different in different cities of the tour. Particularly in Duluth they played 5 songs from the last album, 3 songs each from 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik', 'By The Way', 'Californication' and 'Stadium Arcadium' and a few other songs. The gig was full of improvisations and jam-sessions from the band. The first song was followed by the long intro jam, which kept the crowd in anticipation of the next song. Flea played solo preceding Throw Away Your Television. Chad Smith excited the crowd by playing a long intro to the Dani California. After the encore Chad played a great solo accompanied by Mauro Refosco playing on various percussion instruments. Then Josh and Flea joined in a jam session slowly moving to Freaky Styley. The gig ended with the final jam by Flea, Chad and Josh while Anthony left the stage after the energetic performance of Give It Away brightened up with images of the random people's faces on the big screens above the stage.
Among the memorable moments of the show was a performance of Happiness Loves Company when Flea put away his base guitar and played the song's accompaniment on the piano. His brilliant playing once again proved his many-sided talent.
In the end of the show Flea addressed some words to the audience and asked people to support live music.
Chad Smith was the last one who left the stage. He spent some time traditionally throwing his drumsticks to the fans and thanking the crowd.
It was a great gig, and hopefully it'll be not too long till we see Red Hot Chili Peppers in Georgia again. Meanwhile, let's congratulate the band with their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction on April 14, 2012.

Roger Waters with The Wall Live in Atlanta, GA, USA (June 13, 2012)
Last Wednesday, in June 13th, 2012, my husband and I went to see the show of former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters. It was The Wall Live show, which is touring the world from September 2010. It was the second time I witnessed this outstanding high-tech visual music performance. The first one was in Moscow, Russia, in April 2011.
Like the most of The Wall Live shows, Atlanta show was held in a huge sports venue – Philips Arena. The tremendous white wall was partly built across the venue's width before the show. The concert started slightly later than stated, but the delay was hardly noticeable. The venue looked almost full.
The show's start with "In The Flesh?" was as always spectacular. In its culmination the stage was illuminated by intense pyrotechnic effects and the fire from the airplane crash into the side of the Wall.
Photo. In The Flesh?
During the first part of the show The Wall has been slowly built by construction crew, more and more separating the band on the stage from the audience. The last brick was laid by the end of the "Goodbye Cruel World" song with the last words by Roger Waters: "Good Bye". The intermission then followed.
Photo. During "The Last Few Bricks" instrumental medley, when The Wall was almost complete.
The Wall, being a perfect plane for various visual content, embodied by modern projection technology, was the main character of the show. It was reflecting not only what was happening on the stage, but also the video of 1980 Pink Floyd show in London with Roger Waters singing "Mother", fragments of 1982 The Wall movie, documentaries, multiple text and graphic messages to the audience. However, various high-edge 3D projections The Wall was a canvas for were the most impressive. The Wall was transforming into the building with columns, into the TV-set, into cities and streets. It was surrounded by flying birds or wriggling worms. It was rotating around its axis and exploding surrounded by bright colors of the sunny sky. Its bricks were detaching and flying into abyss…
The whole show was carrying important social messages from Roger Waters. Being a pacifist, Waters delivers an anti-war message in his show projecting documentary war pictures and videos on The Wall, which remind us of all the horrors wars bring. On his web site he asks people to send photographs of the loved ones who died in any war, and then projects these photographs with names and other short information on The Wall during the show to commemorate "the fallen ones". The performance of songs "Vera" and "Bring The Boys Back Home" emphasize anti-war message of the show most of all.
The other message from Roger Waters is unity of people against controlling governments and corporations. This message appears in the song "Hey You" with words "Together we stand, divided we fall". Various graphics on The Wall – starting from images of tyrannical leaders of the world's history to the logos of corporations and currency symbols falling from the bomber plane like bombs – strongly support this message too. When singing the song "Mother" Roger Waters asked "Mother, should I trust the government?", the answer "No F*cking Way" appeared on The Wall, which was immediately approved by the crowd in Atlanta and impressed us a lot, because it was not expected.
Photo. Mother
The show as always ended with an impressive destruction of The Wall along with the repeating "Tear down the wall!" exclamations from "The Trial" song. As the Wall was destroyed the images of happy girls waiving at the crowd appeared.
Photo. The Trial
Some moments after all 12 people from the band, including Roger Waters, appeared on the stage in front of the destroyed Wall. They played and sang, and Waters introduced each musician as they were leaving the stage one by one. By the way, one of them was Roger's son Harry who is playing Hammond organ, keyboards and accordion at The Wall Live show and who is a wonderful jazz pianist outside The Wall.
The Wall Live tour 2012 is going to have its last show on the 21st of July in Quebec, Canada. However, the tour might return to Europe in 2013 according to the Roger Waters interview for Rolling Stone magazine in 2011. Well, let's hope more people get to see one of the most spectacular and powerful performances on Earth! By the way, forgot to mention, the sound in Atlanta was just perfect – my huge respect to engineers who worked on it!
Photo. Happy me after the show.
Until the next time!
Welcome to my music world!
My life is full of music. Probably just like many of you, I can't live without it. Whether it is in my head, or around me – it makes my life fuller and brighter, increases emotional perception of the world around me, adds one more dimension into my life. Just like a soundtrack creates mood in a movie, music influences the mood of my life.
It's interesting how some music tracks I have been listening to in some particular stages of my life remind me of those exact moments later, make me feel a strong taste of those moments as if they were taking me back in time. Music and my life are so closely connected with each other, bound and mutually absorbed, that it's hard for me to associate some particular music with anything else, but the moments of my life when I was listening to it the most for the first time. Does it happen to you too? It's good sometimes, but sometimes I wish it has never happened, because I might love the music, but might not like the period of my life it is associated with.
Music comes into my life via radio, music records, Internet, live shows, cities streets, my piano, my head and via many other ways I can't think of right now. It's pretty exciting sometimes, and I have many unforgettable life stories to tell closely connected with music. I will share them with my children one day. As for now, let's see what the world of music is bringing to my life these days.
Welcome to my music world!

Some of my art
Here are three pieces of mine for all you people who have asked for me to post some of my own work. They aren't new, because everything form less than a year ago isn't finished.
From left to right -
This picture is called "Eden: Contemplation of Life, Death, and Love". It is 20x16 and is colored pencil and carbon.
This is a picture inspired by art deco. It is pen and ink.
This picture was supposed to be about rendering a diamond but I sorta twisted it to be more about the humans than the rock (humans are so much interesting than rocks).

The picture on the top right is one of my own sketches that turned out rather distorted.

Prada Fall and Spring
I feel as eternally behind in school as I do in fashion and I have been spending so much time on school lately that I haven't had time to browse all the new Spring shows (I haven't even seen many of the fall ones) and I haven't had time to update (as you can see). But today I bring you my favorites from both the fall '07 (Top) and the spring '08 of Prada (I get all of my runway pictures, reviews, and all of that wonderful suff from the wonderful style.com). The pictures are sorta small so click to enlarge. Her spring show was amazing. She was very inspired by art Deco. Her fall collection was also very beautiful: especially the colors and the dip dye.
I would be posting more pictures from my trip however I have only had half of my film developed and I failed to mention to my dad that i wanted disks... and i didn't feel like scanning zillions of pictures. So, you will have to wait till I receive the other half of my pictures on disk so that I may post them.
