kayaking to Cogra Bay
Today, was such a wonderful day, I absolutely loved it. A very dear friend of mine and her husband invited my partner and I over to her weekend home at Cogra Bay for lunch, on the Hawkesbury River (in Sydney). You can only get to Cogra Bay by boat, there are no roads.
We decided to go over to Cogra Bay on our double kayak. As its tidal there, we checked the times of high tide and at 11:45am we headed off.
It was so peaceful, the paddle over. The water was calm and the air was so still, hardly a breeze. It was perfect! Whilst paddling over, we saw 7 large jellyfish – about 10 inches in diameter, they looked so beautiful, a beautiful light red colour.
We followed the coastline and around the point we went, to see several jetties, which we paddled past and there I saw my friend, standing on their jetty, waving to us.
Armed with a bottle of wine and our little bag of supplies (oh and my camera, which isn't waterproof btw) we made our way on to land.
Up the steps we went and in to their lovely little home we had a beautiful lunch, talked, laughed and just enjoyed the good company and beautiful surroundings.
My friend (and her gorgeous dog) showed us around afterwards. The views were stunning and to be honest, I didn't want to leave. However, we knew that time was against us – due to it being tidal.
Whilst we were having lunch the southerly wind really picked up, thankfully we weren't going against it, but we would be going against the tide.
I mentioned earlier, how calm the water was going over, on the way back, it was a different story! It wasn't terrible, but it was hard work. We made it back to our starting point but the only problem we had, was the point of land that we had launched ourselves from was now surrounded by wet, muddy very slippery rocks, some covered in razor-sharp oyster shells.
My partner got out of the kayak first. He had a bit of a wobble on the rocks, as they were slippery, but he managed to stay upright. Me on the other hand, well lets just say, I looked like a pig in mud by the end of it! 🙂 Every time I tried to stand up, I slipped. My flip-flops (thongs) had no grip what so ever and bare foot was even worse. In the end, my partner had to come and be my knight in shining over and keep me up! I couldn't stop laughing. I literally had tears rolling down my face, from laughing so much, which of course, didn't help the situation.
Eventually I made it to dry land, but as I was covered in so much mud (lol) and as our car is pretty new, I sat on a towel in the car with my legs/feet in a big blue Ikea bag!

I love this photo–it just screams (in a nice way 🙂 of adventures on the water. Glad you had a great day and glad you had the Ikea bag for the car! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Katie 🙂 I am looking forward to doing it again in the near future, hopefully!! 🙂

New Products and New Demensions or why I love Felt!
I started with pendants. I love the fact that people don't know that they are felt when they look at them... They are substantial statement pieces that are totally affordable and with everyone selling off their gold and silver why not have a blinged out textile piece that says fun or elegant, that also can't be pawned in a moment of deperation!
Since the pendants I have started to move on with the addition of bracelets or felt cuffs with fun and sophisticated patterns for adults and kids. Currently I am designing earings and even rings embellished with buttons and beads. I primarily use wool and eco fi. I realy enjoy the wool felt as it is way more durable and the colors a bit more subdued than the lollipop kaleidescope of Polyester felt!
Felt is such a luscious material it deserves better treatment and to be moved from the bottom of the craft food chain.

Saturday my wonderful friends held a baby shower here in Rhode Island. We had such a nice time and all the little details were really special. And, um, there was some super delicious grilled pizza that I may have eaten a lot of. Mmmm. Since it's BEAUTIFUL here and I'd like to get a walk in before it gets super hot, I'm just going to photo-bomb you today. Enjoy!
Gift tags were all hand stamped and embossed by my friend Jess. She's is crazy wonderful.
Diaper cake.
Don't worry, they're veggie!
The pizza. Mmmm.
With the fabulous hostessess:
More little shoes!
I'm pretty sure as long as he fits in it, we've found his going home outfit.
34 weeks and counting!
I feel very blessed to have so many people in my life who love us and are excited for this baby, that I was gifted with two showers. My family and friends are just the best!

It was great to spend my Easter Weekend back in KL as I got the opportunity to cook an Easter Meal for my colleagues. Lamb was obviously the main dish along with other requests that included BBQ Pork Ribs and Salmon.
Romaine Salad with Garlic Dressing, Bacon Bits and Croutons
Having quite a bit of garlic heads I made a Garlic Dressing to go with the crisp romaine lettuce.
Herb Crusted Salmon
This is one of my favorite dishes to make as I love Salmon. The mixture of Breadcrumbs and Herbs give the Salmon a very strong flavor and at the same time provides a crispy crust. The Salmon was baked pink to the middle
BBQ Pork Ribs
My ribs were dry rubbed with Cumin, Paprika and other herbs and spices and were then slow baked in the oven till the meat is falling off the bone. I finally basted it with some BBQ Sauce over the grill. This was a crowd favorite.
Roasted Leg of Lamb
This was my first time having a Roasted Leg of Lamb. I bought a de-boned New Zealand Leg Roast and rubbed it with a mixture of Mustard and Herbs and roasted it Medium. The result was mediocre because it wasn't as flavorful as I hoped.
Lamb Curry
The Lamb Curry was bought with the Biryani Rice for people that would like to have some curry to go with the Biryani
Biryani Rice
I bought the Biryani Rice from a nearby restaurant and cooked it again adding Raisins, Cashew Nuts and Shallots to make it more aromatic. This was made to go with the lamb.
We were really stuffed after the meal. Although we finished the Lamb there were a few improvements I could have done especially the flavor of the lamb. The Ribs and Salmon were popular and was finished that night.

My son collaged this turkey during his after school art class taught by my lovely wife (BlueLucyStudios.com). His legs were actually longer, but it wouldn't fit in the scanner.

"Environmental Responsibility & Performance Come Together in One Custom Motorcycle
Introducing Die Moto, a custom-built performance diesel motorcycle capable of running on diesel, biodiesel, or straight vegetable oil (SVO) fuels. Designed and fabricated at The Crucible by a team of environmentally conscious vehicle enthusiasts, engineers and artisans, the Die Moto is out to prove the viability of alternative fuel technology in performance vehicles. As fuel efficiency and low emissions become increasingly important, diesel technology has responded with improved mileage and easy adaptation to biodiesel and SVO."
The team constructed Die Moto from a BMW motorcycle, replacing the motor with a high performance BMW 320 D 4-Cyl intercooled turbo automotive diesel engine only available in Europe.
Team leader Michael Sturtz, the Founder and Executive Director of The Crucible, has garnered considerable notoriety throughout the country for his wildly original synthesis of art and functionality in everything from vehicles to fire operas. The resulting motorcycle will be a motorized work of art—an automotive engine on a motorcycle chassis encased in a hand-crafted 3/4 aluminum fairing reminiscent of the GP racers, paying homage to the early pioneers of motorcycle daring.
Stay tuned as The Crucible team heads to the world famous Bonneville Salt Flats in 2007 to shatter the existing diesel motorcycle world record and establish new land speed classes for both bio-diesel and straight veggie oil.
Sponsorships Available!!
Interested in helping sponsor this unique and forward-thinking project? We are seeking sponsors to help cover our modest costs, including the purchase and shipment of the motor from a wrecking yard in Great Britain (these motors are not available in the US), parts, event registration, and travel expenses.
Our sponsors will see their company's logo on our press releases, t-shirts, website, and the motorcycle's fairing, and all contributions are tax deductible. Above all we offer you the chance to join The Crucible and the Die Moto team in demonstrating that environmental responsibility and alternative technology have a place in the headlines and history books of high performance vehicles."

A Lagos state high court has ruled that Fanta and Sprite, soft drinks produced by the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) must not be used to consume Vitamin C 'because they became poisonous'.
This ruling followed the result of a 2008 suit filed by one Emmanuel Adebo, a Nigerian businessman, after his company was unable to sell large quantities of the drinks in the United Kingdom.
Adedayo Oyebanji, the presiding judge, asked the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to inform the manufacturer of Sprit and Fanta to include a warning note on the containers of the product that its content cannot be taken with Vitamin C.
According to Abiodun Onidare, Emmanuel's lawyer, the drinks are unfit for human consumption "because they became poisonous" after being mixed with Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).
"These results were corroborated by other agencies in European Union countries, which found the products to contain excessive levels of sunset yellow and benzoic acid, additives which are known to be carcinogenic (capable of causing cancer)," he said.
NBC in its defense, said that products were meant meant for local distribution and consumption.
In her judgement, Oyebanji said "The court is in absolute agreement with the learned counsel for the claimants that soft drinks manufactured by Nigeria Bottling Company ought to be fit for human consumption irrespective of race, colour or creed," she held.
"It is manifest that NAFDAC has been grossly irresponsible in its regulatory duties to the consumers of Fanta and Sprite manufactured by Nigeria Bottling Company.
"The court, in the light of the damning evidence before it showing that NAFDAC has failed to live up to expectations, cannot close its eyes to the grievous implication of allowing the status quo to continue as it is," she held.
"That NAFDAC shall forthwith mandate Nigeria Bottling Company to, within 90 days hereof, include on all the bottles of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks manufactured by the company, a written warning that the content of the said bottles of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks cannot be taken with Vitamin C as same becomes poisonous if taken with Vitamin C.
"In consideration of the fact that this case was filed in 2008 and that it has been in court for nine years, costs of N2 million is awarded against NAFDAC. Interest shall be paid on the costs awarded at the rate of 10% per annum until liquidation of the said sum."

Let me just ask... What would happen if Target Corporation had donated to a PAC that was supporting Mark Dayton's gubernatorial bid for the Democrats in Minnesota? Crickets...
Yeah that's right, nothing would happen. But it seems that Target should be scorned and boycotted because their executives made a political judgment that Republican Tom Emmer would be better for their business, for their customers and better for their shareholders.
Today we find out that at least one network will have none of it. MSNBC rejected political ads from the leftist Moveon.org crowd. FTA: MSNBC spokeswoman Alana Russo said Thursday that the commercial submitted by the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org violates its advertising policy by attacking an individual business directly. The ad features Target's bullseye logo and accuses the chain of trying to buy elections.
The predictable backlash from gay-rights supporters against Target Corp.'s political donation drowns out all reason. In this era of ultra sensitive political correctness and multi-culturalism has some institutional shareholders raising their eyebrows.
Three management firms that collectively hold $57.5 million of Target stock namely, Walden Asset Management, Calvert Asset Management and Trillium Asset Management, have filed a proposal asking Target's board members to undertake a comprehensive review of Target's political contributions including the criteria used for such contributions.
The facts: for one, $57 million is a minuscule fraction of Target's public stock, and two, these three firm's investment strategies have less to do with effective investing as much as promoting knee-jerk leftist causes. For obvious reasons you will never read about this in the StarTribune, Washington Post or the New York Times .
It seems these firms also questioned Best Buy who contributed to the same PAC. But what of the companies that donated to Dayton's PAC's? Crickets...
It comes down to this, supporting the definition of marriage, a definition that is thousand's of years old, as one man and one woman is radical. Politicians who hold such a view are radical. Worse than that they are evil. Ola Fadahunsi, spokesman for New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, the sole trustee of the state's pension fund which hold's millions in Target stock, told the newspaper. "It's troubling to think that they [Target] can fund controversial candidates without properly assessing the risks and rewards involved."
At least thirty two states have put the definition of marriage up for a vote and thirty two states have declared that a marriage is one man and one woman. Repulican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer wants to allow the voters of Minnesota to have a chance to decide this question and Mark Dayton doesn't. Simple as that. Apparently this is what makes Emmer radical and evil and undeserving of ANY political contributions.
Mark Dayton has only one theme and one solution - soak the rich. To me he is controversial and quite frankly simply nauseating. Unfortunately, Mark, there just aren't that many rich guys.
As I told a friend, I'd vote for a moldy tennis shoe over Mark Dayton.

The Irish Rising is a blog to not only consider the event that took place in 1916, but also the Irish rising from the ashes of time to where they are now. It is all things Irish.

Members of the Ninth Dáil - Patrick Giles
Patrick Giles (1899–1965) was an Irish Fine Gael politician. He was born in 1899 on a family farm outside Longwood village in County Meath. During the War of Independence he was a member of the IRB (a group in the Old IRA), and was captain of the local Longwood Company. In 1920 he and some of his brothers took part in a raid on Trim RIC Barracks, which was burnt to the ground. The aim of the raid was to supply arms to local volunteers. After the raid the arms were dispersed to different sites, one of which was the Giles family farm. During a raid by the Crown forces, his name was found on a note linking him to the storing of these arms and he was sent to prison in Perth, Scotland for three years, but he got out after one year shortly before the Anglo-Irish Truce. In the split that followed after the Anglo-Irish Treaty, he, like most of the IRA in County Meath took the Pro-treaty side. Later he served in the National Army.
In 1934, he was elected to Meath County Council. In the 1937 general election he was elected as a TD for the Fine Gael Party representing the Meath–Westmeath constituency which had just been established. By this time he had acquired a farm in Drumlargan near Summerhill, County Meath. He held his seat in subsequent elections until the constituency was abolished prior to the 1948 general election. In the 1948 general election he was elected for the re-established Meath Constituency. He held his seat up to 1961 general election in which he was unable to run due to deteriorating health. He died in 1965.

Going back to mr Gordon: What did he ask of me? To be an active listener, to use I in feed-back, to always use win-win approach in conflict resolution and what procedure to use to solve said conflicts. Not a lot, and most of it I already do! Why does that feel like romantic drivel and do I oppose it?
Looking at planning: What have I got? Many hours spend on reading mr Allen and mr Covey, some great ideas, but not a lot to show for it. There seems to be some core of Resistance that is sabotaging my success. The same thing that has kept me on the Wii several hours this Easter and that is keeping me from getting my sleep.
So: what is that? I seem to be experiencing fear: fear of being successful (at last); fear of changing into something that is not "me"; fear of failing all together. In light of that fear my willpower is tested: do I really and truly want this? The answer is yes, I do, but not for the reasons I started out seeking help for.
I KNOW what I want out of the whole planning thing. I want to be able to go to sleep with a clear conscience. Know that I am prepared for the day ahead. That I can take what life has to throw my way, because I have arranged what I am responsible for, and resilient enough to take the rest in my stride.
I also know what I want out of the whole Gordon thing. I want my son to feel sheltered and appreciated in a way I myself never was, and I want my wife to loosen up regarding her demands of obedience towards him, that are not working anyway.
Why resist at all? Tonight I had better finish my homework for therapy on Friday!

Charles Barkley Says Clyde Drexler Was Jealous of Michael Jordan

"I think Clyde has always been jealous of Michael (Jordan), to be honest with you," Barkley said…. "I think he's always wanted to be compared to Michael.
"Hey, we all want to be compared to Michael, but we're not. Clyde was a great player, but there was always that jealousy of Michael. That was one of the incidents and things about the Dream Team, Clyde was trying to play like it was Game 7 against Michael, and that's probably not a good idea. When Michael is driving his kids to school, he thinks it's Game 7."
And to think they could have been on the same team.

Why do cats sleep so much? Perhaps they've been trusted with some major cosmic task, an essential law of physics - such as: if there are less than 5 million cats sleeping at any one time the world will stop spinning. So that when you look at them and think, "what a lazy, good-for-nothing animal," they are, in fact, working very, very hard.

This week has been amazing – the Sun has come out finally! It was the last week here for our campsite neighbour Billy so we have been making the most of his last few days and spending full days on the mountain. Kaltenbach is a great resort, the sun has been shining but the snow stays good up there as it is a little bit higher than Penken.
On the one snowy day that we did have this week we decided to explore a different resort called Steinplatte – the rail setup there is a lot of fun!
Austrian McDonalds are seriously next level, have you sat next to a nice warm fire in Maccy D's before?
More furry friends in the park – this is Biggie, he is a such a softy!
It finally feels like spring!
I got this gorgeous WoodWatch this week and I love it!
I am loving using the Hipstamtic app on my phone, you can now use the effects on the self facing camera too. You can set it up so that if you shake your phone it changes the effects so it's really easy to shoot a few different pictures and end up with a good selection.
I'm really depressed at the fact that next week might be the last snow themed Sunday Snaps post! 😦 😦 Hope you had a great weekend! x

Yogurt is a great food and snack except for one thing – the sugar content of some can be as much as a Twinkie and some others cut the sugar but add artificial sweeteners.
Check the Nutrition Facts before you buy. Check the ingredient list for the kind of artificial sweetener used.
For a sample of those yogurts that equal the sugar content of Twinkies in 2014, CLICK HERE.
These figures may have changed since then, however, I am checking the next trip to the supermarket and hope the amounts of sugar have changed for the better. I plan to check some Greek varieties as well. Stay tuned.

CN won us over. See ya later on CSA
This is our trip report from TA.
CN is now our TOP choice, sorry CSA
Reviewed September 8, 2013 NEW
Our last visit here was May 2011. We have been to CSA numerous times and decided to give CN another go for our Labor weekend vaca. I am sooooooooo grateful we did!!! This place has it going on. When we checked in they greeted us by name (nice touch ), and said your room is ready (room I had requested) and handed us our Champagne that we requested as a Romance Rewards member. We also received our couples massage voucher as well as Repeater's Dinner invite! So smooth! We had a Beachfront Deluxe, very clean, great AC, water pressure in shower great and NO bugs ever!!!! Housekeeping was wonderful, loved Stephanie! She was always smiling and singing
The beach is BEAUTIFUL! Calm, clear, warm waters and very little vendor traffic. The staff here were great. I do not understand the negative posts about the staff... I believe it may be the attitude of the guest! Food was "Dee Wish Ous"!!! Loved our dinner at Lychee. We had the appetizer sampler, Pad Thai with shrimp & beef and then Hubby ordered the beef strip medium rare with yellow curry/lemongrass sauce. OMG Becky, soooooooooo good! It was like Buttah! Taylor took care of us and she was a hoot!
We finally went to a Repeater's Dinner after 9 trips.... The GM Ricardo sat next to us!
What a truly great person. If you notice, he responds to the reviews here. He was so easy to talk to! They are in the process of renovating big time!!! Bathrooms, Spa etc.
PS, dinner was Awesome!!! Thank you!
Thanks Ricardo for taking such good care and having a true interest in keeping this a wonderful resort!!!
The food at the buffet was really good. I know it can be hard to keep up with all the offerings, but they did it!
A shout out to Balard (sp?) in the EC crew. He made Ping Pong a blast for my hubby We will look for you this December!!!
Nude beach was great! Had the pick of chairs, shade or no shade and Amay was a sweet heart!
We have chosen CN over CSA now because: beach has less foot traffic, resort east to navigate, check in and check out process a breeze, waters very calm, pool area nice and big,
staff wonderful, food was yummy!!! Suites here offer in room dining/evening hors d'oeuvres, will take advantage of this in December!!!
The only thing I missed was the a la carte breakfast that CSA offers at Patois.
Ricardo, can the beach grill not offer that??????
Also hubby requested I mention this, we had premium liquor choices at all bars. Not sure of the negative comments on that one either...
Thank you CN and see you Dec 20th

We were at CSA over Labor Day weekend. We visited CN on the Friday after, as we were considering it for our upcoming May trip. We immediately noticed the service was better, bartenders much friendlier and actually asked if you wanted a drink instead of making you ask. We also noticed less vendors, which kind of surprised me as there are more resorts close by.
After careful consideration we just decided CSA is a better fit for us. We like the beach better, we like the breakfast at Patois as you described and we like the more private setting. We have just decided to hope for better service.

Hi, we are CN devotees as well. Went to CSA once and had a very nice time, but all the while wishing we had stayed at CN as usual. It is calm, beautiful, peaceful, serene. Food is terrific everywhere, everything is sparkling clean. We enjoy the beach vendors and the wandering musicians. The best of all is the wonderful staff. We arrive 12/21, the day we booked put the countdown calendar on our laptop and visit the Couples message board frequently to feel as though we're really not so far away.

Good review. We have been going to CN for 5 years, and last year we went to CSA. We will be at CSA in 40 days, but, we actually still love CN the best so we will be there in 47 days, and again in February. We will continue to go to both, only because we give the beach bars, SeaGrapes and the spa a slight advantage over CN so we will just spend time at both each year, February and October. If we have to quit going to one, it would be a hard decision, but I think we would quit going to Swept Away.

Shelly, if you have signed up for Romance Rewards they will give you an invite upon check in or maybe call your room. That is what we just experienced. At CSA it would be found in your room a day or two after arrival along with spa certificate and resort credit info.
If you are not signed up you will not get an invite till your next trip. However, it sounds like you have been there a few times so I would call and see if you would qualify for the dinner during your next trip in 21 days!!!!!
Happy to hear my review was liked

text: We have a real nice custom stock made of myrtlwood, with rosewood caps and excellent checkering. It has a "REMINGTON" plastic buttplate, and it looks like a stock for a 700 series rifle, but it has no cutout where the bolt goes down into the stock when the bolt is closed. Any suggestions or leads would be much appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Our party food 300809 ( Sunday )
Daddy's handphone alarm came on @ 6.30am in the break of the Sunday morning jerking Sniper off from his sleep but not me ( Julius ) as I'm always awake at that time.
Yipeeeeee, At that hour of the day, the morning smells fresh 'cause I know Sniper n me will be going for our morning " marking time ".
Out of the door, we dashed to our marking area by 6.50am. Despite the dark clouds hanging around, we managed to cover our walk by 8.30 am as we made our way home because of that stupid daddy's stomach calling out for food.
Pawrent cleaned us up but without the usual bathing. ?????????? Why ah? So good meh, today no need to bath meh? Later did I then knew that we are attending one of our buddies barkday party later in the noon.
After our breakfast, i took a nap with sniper while the family caught up some cantonese show on disc. How boring. They should at least play with me lah. HUMAN ! The weather wasn't that good afterall as it rained the whole morning thru out noon.
At about 2.30 pm, i was awake by mummy perfume as she dolled herself for the party. I got so excited that I barked at the top of my voice while Sniper too joined in till i got reprimanded by the master of the house. hehehehehe That'a a dog life !
Again off we went to this new dog cafe which I never been before and within minutes we reached the location. Behold, the birthday girl and boy was at the door to receive us. Of course, before i could wish them happy birthday, i got my butt sniffed immediately. ( Sigh ) Are those fellas are from the CNB ? Checking me and Sniper out before entries in case both of us carries controlled substances? ( hard to understand? ask my daddy ).
The party and the food was great for both for dog/human. The hosts also got us name tags with our name on it. How thoughtful. We enjoyed ourself very much till we realise it was time to go home when mummy took out those leashes from her bag. We reached home, had our bath, mummy prepared milk for both of us and finally me n Sniper slowly zzzzzzz for the day.

Father's Day is only 2 weeks away. If you're not sure what to get him, find out his favorite team's colors and buy him some beads to wear to the next big game. Whether his favorite sport is baseball, basketball, football, or hockey, we have the beads. Even if he likes racing, we have beads for that.
We have beads for Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Joey Logano, and Jeff Gordon.
If your dad is a New Orleans Saints fan, then we have a whole category of Black and Gold Items for you to choose from.
If you're more the creative type, you could use beads to make a picture to hang up. The bead collages look fantastic and it would be a one of a kind piece made by the person he loves most.

Adapted from Saffron, Garlic & Olives by Loukie Werle
Makes enough for about 3o crostini
6 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
4 oz Parmesan cheese, cut into small cubes
4 oz pancetta, cut into small cubes *
2 Tbl fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
4 Tbl fresh parsley, plus 1 Tbl for garnish, roughly chopped
3 Tbl extra-virgin olive oil
French bread crostini
Add the roughly chopped garlic to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Add the parmesan cubes and pulse again about five times. Add the pancetta, rosemary and parsley, and pulse a few more times until everything is pretty finely (but not too finely – really, it's all a matter of taste) chopped. Add the olive oil, and pulse once or twice, only until everything is combined.
Preheat the broiler. Top each toasted crostini with about 1-2 teaspoons of the above mixture. Spread the mixture in order to nearly cover the top of the crostini. Broil until the topping is bubbly and golden brown. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (because like many other incredibly delicious things, these tend to be on the homely side, and really benefit from a bit of bright green garnish) and serve hot.
* I always get my pancetta at the deli counter, and I ask them to slice it 1/4 inch thick. This makes it easy to cut it into small 1/4 inch cubes for this recipe.

So Emalee has been in the hospital for about 24 hrs and is making GREAT strides at a fast recovery. Her breathing is much better, not as labored as before. She is sleeping peacefully now. She still has choking/coughing episodes but they are becoming much less frequent. One major issue we are facing is that she is aspirating every time she eats. (Some of the formula is going into her lungs instead of her tummy.) This is very painful for her and almost always leads to a choking episode. Also, she is being checked for Rotovirus (stomach flu) because she has blood in her stool. Even though she is going through all of this, she is still a very happy baby. She hardly ever cries and just watches the nurses with her big 'almost blue' eyes.
Her big brothers had to go to the Dr this morning because they are both sick. Both have yucky colds/RSV type stuff but Jax also has an ear infection and Iz a horrible cough. Please pray for all THREE of my sick children. More later...

ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Big Ten is pleased to announce several staff additions and promotions in the conference's communications, operations and video services departments in advance of the 2017-18 academic year.
Megan Rowley has been promoted to assistant director in the Big Ten communications department after spending last year as the Bob Hammel Communications Intern. Rowley joined the Big Ten staff in June 2016 and served as the primary media contact for various Big Ten sports last year, while contributing as the conference's secondary media contact for women's basketball and men's ice hockey. A resident of Hinsdale, Illinois, Rowley earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa in 2015, and she also worked in the Hawkeyes' athletic communications department from 2014-16.
Matt Braunscheidel heads up three staff changes in the Big Ten video services department, having been promoted to associate director following two years as assistant director. A Wellsville, New York, native, Braunscheidel oversees video services for Big Ten basketball and assists with football and hockey video services at the conference office. He is a 2006 graduate of St. Bonaventure University and earned a master's degree from the University of Louisiana at Monroe in 2014.
Joseph Hamata has been promoted to assistant director in the Big Ten video services department, where he supervises video services for Big Ten hockey and aides with the conference's football and basketball video services. Hamata joined the Big Ten in 2015 as video services intern after previously serving as the student video manager for the University of Nebraska football program. He hails from Omaha, Nebraska, and is a 2015 Nebraska graduate.
Sam Arvaneh is the newest addition to the Big Ten video services staff, filling the role of the department's new intern in which he will assist on video services coverage for Big Ten football, basketball and hockey. Originally from Severn, Maryland, and a 2015 graduate of the University of Maryland, Arvaneh spent three years from 2012-15 as a video coordination assistant for the Terrapin football program. For the past two years, he served as manager and assistant director of photography for BowieMedia, a film production and website design firm in Bowie, Maryland.
Therno Diallo will join the Big Ten staff on July 17 as the C.D. Henry Intern and will assist with the conference's football and basketball operations.

When it comes to deploying electric-vehicle charging stations, University of California Davis is giving it the old college try. The school, located just outside of Sacramento, has 38 plug-in vehicle charging stations on campus, making it the most charging-friendly institution of higher learning in the country. That's according to ChargePoint, which says more than 1,100 on-campus stations have been deployed since the first one was installed at Pasadena City College four short years ago.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Chevy helps install EV chargers in California state parks
In addition to hanging ten, there's one more really cool thing you can do for free in the coastside California city of Malibu. General Motors' Chevrolet division, looking to gain some positive exposure among the surfer set, installed two free electric-vehicle charging stations at a couple of local state parks last week, Malibu Creek and Leo Carrillo State Beach. The cars will get a good view while they fill up on electrons, too, as the parks are just off the Pacific Coast Highway.
Renault works with French utility SyDev on EV charging network
Renault continues to try to kickstart sales of its all-electric Zoe with public-private partnership agreements that will improve France's electric-vehicle charging infrastructure.
GE says WattStation Connect EV-charger locator is a potential revenue generator
Yes, you can make some extra cash by letting electric-vehicle drivers charge up at your house.
If you were 95% dependent on imported oil, you'd want EVs, too
The state of Hawaii is ramping up efforts to encourage electric-vehicle adoption by increasing the number of electric vehicle and charging station rebates it gives out this year. There's little wonder why this is important, since Hawaii is the country's most oil-dependent state and is looking to boost renewable-energy use.
Source London to launch in Spring 2011, install 1,300 charging stations citywide by end of 2013
Just days after reporting that London's mayor, Boris Johnson, may seek to slash funding for the city's electric vehicle (EV) program, we stumbled upon this announcement stemming from the mayor's desk: London's city-wide EV charging network, Source London, will launch in Spring 2011 and install 1,300 public-use chargers across the sprawling city by the end of 2013. The Source London network allows EV owners to power up their rides at any one of the city's soon-to-be installed public charging poin
Meijer to install plug-in vehicle chargers at select Michigan supercenters
Supercenter retailer Meijer Inc. plans to install electric vehicle charging stations at many of its Michigan area stores. The first charging station, installed at the Warren, MI Meijer store, is now operational, and perhaps coincidentally, is located across the street from GM's technical center, a site that has more than its fair share of Chevy Volts roaming around. The retailer's Allen Park store, also located on the state's east side, is slated for the next install. Then, plans shift to the we
Epyon raises $9.7M; will scale up fast-charger operations in Europe
In mid-May, Epyon unveiled its fast-charging system for electric vehicles during the Nissan Leaf's brief stop in the city of Amsterdam. Later that month, the company installed Europe's first fast-charging station at a fueling depot in the Netherlands. Now, Epyon announced that it has lined up five investors willing to back the company to the tune of €7 million ($9.7 million U.S. at the current exchange rate). The funds will be used to scale up Epyon's operations, which includes installing f
World's greenest parking garage gets juiced up with free electric vehicle charging
Denver International Airport is knee-deep in its attempt to offer frequent flyers access to one of the world's greenest parking facilities and, with work by BMW Group and DesignworksUSA whizzing along ahead of schedule, completion of the 4,200-vehicle facility has been moved up to the middle of this month.
Vegan Juice: PETA to advertise on EV charging stations?
It would seem that PETA expects electric car drivers to be those who'd rather go naked than wear fur... or something like that. In any case, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is urging the City of Boston to place ads with green eggs and ham chickens that tout a meat-free vegan lifestyle.

Car Arc's solar charging station just another dreamy idea
Charging an electric vehicle (EV) via solar power is not a novel idea, but the Car Arc concept from modular bike park system designer Bike Arc attacks the task of capturing the sun rays with some modern flair. The Car Arc's curvaceous structure is made from extruded metal tubes that are shaped to form a carport-like structure that can be installed just about anywhere.
GE, Better Place team up to accelerate global EV infrastructure
General Electric, which recently unveiled its electric vehicle (EV) charger called the WattStation, has teamed up with battery swap specialist Better Place to accelerate the adoption of a global EV infrastructure. The duo will attack the industry on all fronts. Under the partnership, GE and Better Place will develop a battery financing program that kicks off with a pilot project providing funds for 10,000 batteries in Israel and Denmark. This project is expected to boost consumer interest in EVs
Verify Markets claims electric vehicle charging industry will top $3b by 2017
GE WattStation – Click above for high-res image gallery
Cambridge researcher envisions portable charging stations for electric cars
Until now, one of the big downsides of battery electric vehicles (EVs) was the risk of running out of energy before getting back to a charging station. When an internal combustion vehicle runs dry, a driver can always call roadside assistance to bring some fuel or just hike to a station and bring back a can of gas or diesel. Under the same circumstances, an EV would require a tow to an outlet somewhere.
SF Bay Area receives $5M grant to fund installation of 5,000-plus chargers
As the U.S. readies for an expected onslaught of electric vehicles (EVs), the San Francisco Bay Area is quickly becoming one of the regions that's particularly well-prepared for EVs. In late 2008, mayors from the Bay Area joined together to approve a multi-billion dollar plan that would eventually bring thousands of EV charging stations to the area. This initial plan successfully kicked off an ongoing drive to bring even more chargers to the Bay Area.
Auto execs question need for widespread public charging infrastructure
Earlier this week, automotive execs came together to discuss the future of the industry at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI. As Green Car Advisor reports, one of the sessions at the seminar was titled "Full-scale Deployment: Making the Business Case." This particular session focused on discussing the need for widespread deployment of public charging stations. However, the discussion quickly turned around as many panelists argued that there's si
How electric vehicle chargers will be like fire hydrants
Companies working to build streetside electric vehicle chargers face a lot of obstacles. From deciding where to install them to worries about vandals unplugging the cord, there are a lot of issues that have nothing to do with the vehicle or the charging technology. Earlier today, when thinking about Coulomb's first Manhattan charging station, which is in a parking garage, we thought about one more problem with street-based charging units: how do you stop non-electric vehicles from parking there.
Study: 4.7 million EV chargers coming worldwide by 2015
According to a new study conducted by Pike Research, the number of electric vehicle (EV) charge points across the globe will reach 4.7 million by 2015. That's so many that the study suggests that the charging market will become overly crowded by next year.

Noir by Nuca in Romania
A warm, intimate interior greets you from the glass street scape as you enter Piatra Neamt's noir restaurant. Located in northeast Romania, Piatra Neamt is a city surrounded by mountains of forrest, which you will soon begin to understand how the landscape's beauty seeped into the interior space. The design team at Nuca, composed by Robert Marin, Ramona Macarie and Mirela Nitu utilized wood for it's warmth and relation to the surrounding topography. Rather than just wood tables, wood flooring and wood wall panels, the palette is broken and accentuated through sculpture, lighting and contrasting textures.

LOS ANGELES — Death Row Records founder and rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was injured in an early morning shooting Sunday in a packed nightclub but was expected to survive, a Los Angeles County sheriff's sergeant said.
Knight was one of three club patrons struck by gunfire around 1:30 a.m. at the 1OAK on West Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, said Sgt. C. Tatar, watch commander at the Los Angeles County sheriff's West Hollywood station.
Two other victims, a man and a woman, were also being treated at local hospitals and were expected to survive.
Authorities are still seeking a suspect and declined to release additional information, citing the ongoing investigation.
The shooting came just hours before MTV's Video Music Awards, which are slated for Sunday evening in Inglewood. R&B singer Chris Brown, who was co-hosting a party at the nightclub with Pia Mia, was also inside the club but not hit by the gunfire, Tatar said.
MTV said it had no affiliation or connection to the event.
Representatives for Brown and the party did not return a call for comment. Calls to the club rang unanswered.
Knight has been shot before. In 2005, he was struck in the leg during an MTV awards pre-party in Miami.
Knight's genius for poaching up-and-coming talent helped him land and make megastars out of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre and shifted the center of the rap universe to the West Coast the 1990s.
He's been in and of jail in the past two decades due to parole violations and physical attacks relating to a "rap war" he fueled with East Coast artists.
Financial troubles also eventually lead to his Death Row Records filing for bankruptcy.

President Lyndon Johnson declared the 'War on Poverty' in the 1960's. Well intentioned, it consisted of federal government programs intended to end poverty in America.
Based on the facts accumulated during the past half century, however, we're losing the war. In fact, as a nation we have failed miserably to achieve the intended purpose.
In 2015 Baltimore and the problems of the inner cities, race relations and poverty are very much in the news. While the issues are presented by the media and politicians as inseparable, they're not.
Help is definitely needed for our citizens in Baltimore and similar cities. How best to deliver that help is the question in need of an answer. Sometimes knowing what not to do is more important than knowing what to do. This is one of those times.
Government wants to continue to provide that 'help' by pouring more money into more government assistance and generating even more dependency on government programs. That's a very bad idea.
Baltimore Is Not About Race is subtitled 'Government-induced dependency is the problem, and it's one with a long history.' The editorial addresses the issues in Baltimore, race and government 'help' in a straightforward fact based historical manner:
"For those who see the rioting in Baltimore as primarily about race, two broad reactions dominate.
One group sees rampaging young men fouling their own neighborhoods and concludes nothing can be done because the social pathologies are so overwhelming. In some cities, this view manifests itself in the unspoken but cynical policing that effectively cedes whole neighborhoods to the thugs.
The other group tut-tuts about root causes. Take your pick: inequality, poverty, injustice. Or, as President Obama intimated in an ugly aside on the rioting, a Republican Congress that will never agree to the "massive investments" (in other words, billions more in federal spending) required "if we are serious about solving this problem."
There is another view. In this view, the disaster of inner cities isn't primarily about race at all. It's about the consequences of 50 years of progressive misrule—which on race has proved an equal-opportunity failure.
Baltimore is but the latest liberal-blue city where government has failed to do the one thing it ought—i.e., put the cops on the side of the vulnerable and law-abiding—while pursuing "solutions" that in practice enfeeble families and social institutions and local economies.
These supposed solutions do this by substituting federal transfers for fathers and families. They do it by favoring community organizing and government projects over private investment. And they do it by propping up failing public-school systems that operate as jobs programs for the teachers unions instead of centers of learning.
If our inner-city African-American communities suffer disproportionately from crippling social pathologies that make upward mobility difficult—and they do—it is in large part because they have disproportionately been on the receiving end of this five-decade-long progressive experiment in government beneficence.
How do we know? Because when we look at a slice of white America that was showered with the same Great Society good intentions—Appalachia—we find the same dysfunctions: greater dependency, more single-parent families and the absence of the good, private-sector jobs that only a growing economy can create.
Remember, in the mid-1960s when President Johnson put a face on America's "war on poverty," he didn't do it from an urban ghetto. He did it from the front porch of a shack in eastern Kentucky's Martin County, where a white family of 10 eked out a subsistence living on an income of $400 a year.
In many ways, rural Martin County and urban Baltimore could not be more different. Martin County is 92% white while Baltimore is two-thirds black. Each has seen important sources of good-paying jobs dry up—Martin County in coal mining, Baltimore in manufacturing. In the last presidential election, Martin Country voted 6 to 1 for Mitt Romney while Baltimore went 9 to 1 for Barack Obama.
Yet the Great Society's legacy has been depressingly similar. In a remarkable dispatch two years ago, the Lexington Herald-Leader's John Cheves noted that the war on poverty sent $2.1 billion to Martin County alone (pop. 12,537) through programs including "welfare, food stamps, jobless benefits, disability compensation, school subsidies, affordable housing, worker training, economic development incentives, Head Start for poor children and expanded Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid."
The result? "The problem facing Appalachia today isn't Third World poverty," writes Mr. Cheves. "It's dependence on government assistance." Just one example: When Congress imposed work requirements and lifetime caps for welfare during the Clinton administration, claims of disability jumped.
Mr. Cheves quotes a former grade-school principal who says this of Martin County's children: "Instead of talking about a future of work, or a profession, they talk about getting a check."
Yes, Washington's largess has done some good. Even the federal government can't spend billions of dollars without building a decent road or bridge here or there. But it all came at a high human cost....
Meanwhile, President Obama says the rioting in Baltimore means "we as a country have to do some soul-searching." He's right about that . . . .
Because to look at urban black Baltimore and rural white Martin County and conclude that the answer is more cradle-to-grave . . . isn't soul searching. It's denial."
Summing Up
If we're doing the wrong thing, we're probably doing it poorly.
And we've been doing the wrong thing to address the issues of poverty, education, effort and self-reliance in America for more than fifty years now.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
What we've been doing in both the inner cities and rural Appalachia hasn't worked, isn't working and won't work. Yet the insanity of government to the rescue continues.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Thanks. Bob.

We also wanted your support and awareness on a great organization benefitting homeless animals and returning veterans. It is a nonprofit group called Dog Bless You. This wonderful organization works closely with several service dog programs to help place dogs from animal shelters or dogs that are homeless with wounded veterans that will need their help and service when they come back home from fighting. It's a campaign to help veterans gain the rights and freedom that come with having a service dog. For every 1,000 likes the Dog Bless You Facebook page gets, the organization will match a U.S. veteran with a new furry companion. So, please check out their Facebook page and "like" it and make sure to share it with as many people as possible to spread the word!!!!! Also you can visit ASPCA to get updates or info on other organizations like this. Thanks for the support!!!!!!

Blog 1: Gun Violence in the US Compared to other Developed Countries
August 27, 2015 Leave a comment Go to comments
"The US is an outlier on gun violence bc it has way more guns than other developed nations." http://t.co/ir6sJ2jPu5pic.twitter.com/mwr662A7j0
— Mina Kimes (@minakimes) August 26, 2015
- I decided to share this tweet because it highlighted a huge problem we have here with gun violence. It shows that the US has the most homicide by firearms per million people wen compared to other developed countries.
- The data in this tweet/article is pulled from United Nations data collected by Guardian's Simon Rogers.
- One question I have about this data is why Australia has such a low homicide rate by gun violence What are they doing better than us?

The history of blog is a wee bit funny of course. As the wiki says Peter Merholz coined the word weblog and just like that broke it into "we blog". This eventually turned in to the now most common word "blog". Digging a few decades back, having a PC was a big achievement for many. Slowly people started considering PCs as any other household amenities. Likewise, internet which was once considered only as the rich man's pie is now a necessity of every household! With the increase in the popularity of internet more and more people started consuming the web juices either to nourish their knowledge or their wealth. Now internet is considered as one of the most powerful medium to do anything in this world! And blogs are making a rave race there. Blogs are educative, entertaining, and even whining (for those who vent out their frustrations). It is used in all possible ways to communicate various messages. I can keep listing the various uses of blogs! Websites use blogs as back links to increase their hits, cinemas use blogs to advertise their latest releases, Celebs use them stay in touch with their fans, and people like me use blogs just to ramble, share ideas and opinions… blogs are evolving in to a new don of the internet. Unlike social networking sites blogs have a huge space for you to own, more privacy, more fun. Personally I feel a blog is like your own piece of land. You can build a house, invite people, shoo off people, and host a party… or whatever… it's all your own! Coming to the professional part… online advertising has become a branch of advertising. One can make a huge career out of it in the present scenario. Online business and transactions is considered the most convenient and affordable means right now. Many blogs have now become a platform for all these online activities! Is each and every blogger using this medium in the right way? The answer doesn't matter. Blogs are fun anyways!

Monday Morning Blues
Beating the Monday morning blues seems like a hot topic! Looks like 90 percent of the working population sail the same boat as mine… I don't hate Mondays though! It's just that I am at my laziest peak on Monday mornings.
Unlike the other days my Monday mornings start with forcing myself out of bed (takes at least half an hour!) and then coiling myself again on the sofa for an extra 15 min. Boom! My mind explodes… alarming me that I have less than 20 min to get ready and hit the road. I get ready in lightening speed pretending that sleep has exited my mind for at least 14 more hours.
When I start rolling my bike on the road, the traffic welcomes my sleep with a big smile again… actually I used to wonder how people can doze when they drive but believe me it certainly is possible! My eyes droops putting my life and other's at sake. Thankfully a variety of vehicle honks and the buzzling auto drivers save my day with irritating noises that put off my sleep. And when I finally reach my destination (my office) that is the best place to serve your Monday morning right! I jus can't resist the sleep that invades my eyes though it's preoccupied with work! I can't help it people!
But today…. This Monday…. I jus took a small leap forward to find out how I can make my next Monday a better one. Guess what??? I found this – experts suggest hitting the sack as early as possible on Sunday nights, the extra sleep might help dust off the sleep away from your eyes!
By avoiding sleeping in on weekends we can raise early on Monday (now that looks like a difficult one for me… may be you guys can go ahead and try that). Laugh your way to a great start by reading funny comic strips and silly jokes. Guarantee to chase the blues away. (I might want to try these). There are many more tips and tricks in the online world but what I feel is that if you have the confidence and courage to fight and throw that tiny weenie bit of laziness away… it's is all done in one go!

November Rain
November rain is always associated with the pleasant aroma that is emitted by the earth, the freshness that is rejuvenated by the monsoon showers, and the bright flowers decorated with dew drops! But that was what I only read and heard about monsoon rains. As far as I could remember of rains in India, rain always gives raise to issues like flood, diseases, water logging on roads, muddy streets, destroyed crop fields, broken trees on road, broken electric wires, and accidents! I might have missed out many other common issues birthed by rain in my country. Out of all the problems, the one problem I consider the stupidest is the accidents caused by open manholes! In the past few decades at least five civilians die falling in to an open manhole every monsoon! Well… five is just a random count, there could be more than five, believe me! Fortunately this year (2009) one such accident is not in news till now! Though this is just the start of the monsoon I am just praying that at least this time the government is a wee bit responsible enough to close all the open man holes on the roads.
As for me… I use a bike to commute. And that doesn't mean I am having a problem free monsoon. As I said before, the roads are flooded and every morning I start my bike with a heavy heart because I have to force it to work as a boat, waddling through the puddles on the bumpy roads. Every time I hold the clutch tight to stop my bike a few inches away from the other vehicles my bike screams outta pain. Can't blame my bike! It is in fact the slippery roads that make it hard for my bike to stop at the right time! Not to mention the few ten heads that turn around to look at me anticipating a bump or fall!
It is only in the movies girls dance and sing in the rain. In reality monsoon showers create quite a mess! Ito be honest I don't hate rain totally. But to welcome and enjoy the rain to the fullest either our country has to have proper amenities to handle rain water or the monsoon showers have to be minimal! Both options are definitely void in this era! So I'll just get over it and keep following Darwin's survival of the fittest.

Concert cacophony!
Do all organizations conduct some kinda celebration/get together/ competition for every big festival? Well... I dunno tat but this diwali was supposed to be humiliating one for me. But the funny thing was tat I was Numb! (Thank god!). I thought of giving a solo vocal performance in a big office get together…. But I really dunno how 3 more cacophonic dames joined me... it all got spoilt! I could barely hear my voice in the recorded audio. The theory behind this is that I hav a base voice and the other dames had… I dunno maybe something similar to a wolf's howl?!?!?! Well… all in the game! There are people who can be loud but not sanely loud. So if you are sane but not loud jus try to be wit the sane group or try to increase
Well… there is always a next time!
C ya!

Raining dogs and cats
Do you know the origin/history of this phrase?
One supposed origin is that the phrase derives from mythology. Dogs and wolves were attendants to Odin, the god of storms, and sailors associated them with rain. Witches, who often took the form of their familiars - cats, are supposed to have ridden the wind. Well, some evidence would be nice. There doesn't appear to be any to support this notion.
It has also been suggested that cats and dogs were washed from roofs during heavy weather. This is a widely repeated tale. It got a new lease of life with the e-mail message "Life in the 1500s", which began circulating on the Internet in 1999. Here's the relevant part of that:
I'll describe their houses a little. You've heard of thatch roofs, well that's all they were. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. They were the only place for the little animals to get warm. So all the pets; dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs, all lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery so sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Thus the saying, "it's raining cats and dogs."
Quite funny!!!
We adopted snowy when he was a month old. He looked like a small ball of snow (he used to curl and cuddle himself in to a ball) so I named him snowy.
The name Snowy might sound girly… that's because when he was a pup I did not even know if he is a he or she (Call me lame...no probs...lol)
When I first took him to my home he felt so lonely he won't even come near me… I too did not know how to handle him and stuff. But slowly I learned it and still learning what to do and what not to do.
He used to cry all the time and I used to wonder "Is he asking for his mom?" "Is he scared?" I did not find the exact answer but he slowly learned that we are his family, my mom is his mom and I am his sis!
Snowy is naughty, bratty, witty (when it comes to stealing food from the kitchen), and my cutie J
P.S: Snowy had a pair of weak hind limbs when he was a month old. With the vets advice we gave him a lot of physiotherapy exercises and by the time he was 3 or 4 months old he was jumping and running like the rest of his friends J
Love Snowy because he is small yet strong. He has got a lot of will power and he loves us unconditionally. He talks with us through his cute expressions and sweet mulling barks…
He is my baby bro and the angel of our house… the only medicine that takes away all the stress and worries of my family.

I am very interested in buying an aftermarket keyless entry system. Has anyone been able to get theirs to double lock and activate the windows/sunroof close feature? If you have please share with me what you did and where you wired it into. I have searched and about half do a simple lock hook up in the trunk and some have had luck with the more complicated double lock close windows features by tapping in the wires in the driver kick panel by the door. Any luck?
Spend the few extra bucks for a "factory" type; if you only want lock/windows, try Stellar's products. THey get good reviews in the Roundel and don't require the wire cutting of some cheaper one-size-fits almost-all units.

I think it's sending out a really confusing message to young girls (one accidentally in the background of the photo) about how they should look. I tweeted this to Beat, the eating disorder support charity (@BeatED) and Topshop, I hope it gets a response!

Some projects, firms, locations appeal mostly. In USA and UK, they say people like first or second location they used to live.
Some projects are with some kind odd charisma and composition .
Some projects have great people combination. You would love to stay.
Some projects make you feel right at home.
Always teams can/must be build with lot of patience and planning.
A bad element in project will mess up the whole system.
Hope you had favorite team/locations/ firm?

Storage 24 @ Touch Nightclub (12.18.09)
this past friday, my boys Storage 24, along with Still Frame and the Jason Turner Band, rocked out the 1st Annual Miller Light /Rock 93.9 Merry Mayhem Show up in Touch Nightclub in downtown Jackson
i believe this was their first show since winning the 2009 Band of the Year award down in Club LaVela, in Florida (which means they'll be on next year's MTV Spring Break show!)
anyway, enough talking, let's get to the rocking and the rolling!
Storage 24 Music Video Shoot (part 2 of 2) (6.7.09)
picking up right where we left off with part one, the Storage 24 music video shoot for their single "No Surrender" continues!
we pick back up as the crew gets ready to film Courtney's scene.
Storage 24 Music Video Shoot (part 1 of 2) (6.7.09)
so, last sunday, my friend Daniel Guaqueta (who's also the drummer for Storage 24) invited me out to shoot some behind the scenes photos as the band prepared to shoot their first music video for their single "No Surrender"
i said sure. i love behind the scenes stuff. i'm that guy who'll buy a DVD, not for the movie, but to listen to the "director's commentary". i love it.
so, the shoot was scheduled to start at 9:30am till 9:00pm.
i shot over 400+ photos.
after my initial edit, i cut that down to 263. far too many to post.
so i went back for the brutal final edit and cut that down to 153 photos.
still too many to post in on entry but if i cut anymore then the "story flow" just wouldn't be the same.
so, after posting my dilemma to facebook and twitter everyone said "make it two posts stupid" LoL
so, here's post one of two. even with 75 photos, it's still a mega post so let's get started.
game on.
this is where the majority of the magic happened.
