I do not know in front of 65 in Florence, Italy, M. Guccio Gucci is not subject to the influence of Chinese culture, infected with a warm tribute to the Oriental Bamboo?

April 22, 2012
21 April 2012.5.30pm.QPR 1 SPURS 0.
Fourth from bottom against fourth from top but we managed another fantastic home win.
Our goalie played a blinder and we hung on with only ten men for the last 15 mins after getting a player sent off.Had a nice result with the tickets as we used the season tickets from two musicians who were away on dj duties.Glen Matlock was playing in Venice and Goldie was playing in Devon.
Hopefully Bolton slip up on Tuesday and next weekend QPR have a tough one away to Chelsea.
Great news that Bee Gee Robin Gibb has woke from his coma.
Some good has come out of the cancelled Sonisphere Festival in July in that some of the main bands due to play there are now playing London shows instead including Queen with Adam Lambert,Faith No More,Marilyn Manson and Incubus.Doubt that KISS will sneak one in.
I love stories like this one below.
Global Radio's Capital FM and Heart brands have not aired music by One Direction since the boy band accidentally thanked Radio One while accepting a Brit award in February that was voted for by Capital listeners.
It has been reported that Global's executive president and founder Ashley Tabor placed an immediate ban on mentions of One Direction or plays of their songs on-air following the blunder.
Bearing in mind One Direction are taking off worldwide and are headlining New Yorks Madison Square Garden before the end of the year do One Direction care?
19 April 2012.6.30pm to 8.30pm."Walk By Stik"
preview evening at Imitate Modern Gallery,27 Devonshire Street,Marylebone,London W1.
Cult graffiti artist previews his new work in a small gallery that holds maybe 50 but 200 are invited so lots of folks are standing on the pavement outside.
Freebie beers and wines for all although the canapes were drab.
Quite a success story as two years ago Stik was homeless on the streets of Hackney.
When i was at the Q Awards last year the goodie bag had a couple of prints by Stik and since then his reputation as "The New Banksy" has rocketed as musicians including
Elton John,Brian May and Bono have bought his pieces.His distinctive stick characters are simple and childlike but seem to work.
Stik was very friendly and chatty on the night and put up a makeshift canvas on the gallery canopy to spray some street art on.
Plenty of art journos here along with a couple of film crews and some photographers.
Open to the public 19 April to 10 May.
See www.imitatemodern.com
18 April 2012.CHELSEA 1 BARCELONA 0.I watched the game on a big screen at a casino in Leicester Square.A great result for Chelsea.
The return leg next week will be mega.
Then a few mins walk to the main event.
9.45pm to 1.30am i was at "The White Party" at Stringfellows,London.
Probably the most famous lapdancing club in the UK holds one of its parties for members and press.
Free booze all night here for all.
Around 50 topless girls in white lingerie.
All taking in turns on the poles.
Around 150 punters with a few girls too.
Lots of very pretty girls although half seemed to be from Eastern Europe.
There was the usual £20 for a private dance but they soon left us alone and moved on to those who were ready to splash the cash.
Stayed a lot longer than expected but it was good fun i must say.
16 April 2012.Noah And The Whale + Bahamas + Rae Morris live at The Royal Albert Hall, London.
Up first we have Rea Morris who is a teenager from Blackpool.Just her and keyboards.She admitted to being very nervous but the crowd warmed to her 30 mins set.
Then Bahamas who are one of those duos without a bass player so we get a milder version of White Stripes with two backing vocalists.
They are from Canada.An ok 30 mins set.
Headliners Noah And The Whale have moved up the indie ranks after the huge success of their third album "Last Night On Earth" that came out a year ago.
A nice stage set with lamps around the stage,carpets on the floor and a big screen.
The band are all in smart suits and get a great reception from the sold out crowd.
The arena floor is used for standing tonight.
The 85 mins set had lots of catchy tunes.
Set included "Give It All Back","Give A Little Love","Blue Skies" and brilliant versions of "Tonights The Kind Of Night" and "5 Years Time".Also good was "Waiting For My Chance" and all the crowd singing along to biggie
"L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N." and the encore was "The First Days Of Spring".A good gig.
15 April 2012.Punk rock legends The Sex Pistols are to re-release their classic anthem "God Save the Queen" to coincide with the jubilee celebrations this summer.
The song, widely regarded as an attack on the monarchy with lyrics equating the Queen with a "fascist regime", is to be released 28 May 2012 in a bid to top the charts over the Diamond Jubilee weekend at the beginning of June.
Originally released on May 27 1977, ahead of the Queen's Silver Jubilee, the single, which featured a defaced image of the Queen on the cover, sparked widespread controversy and was banned by the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority which regulated commercial television and radio and independent radio.
Without doubt it is one of the greatest singles of all time.I bought it on the first day of release way back in 1977 which was my exact 18th birthday.
This coming Saturday 21 April 2012 is Record Store Day when over 300 special vinyl releases come out.They include Sex Pistols "Anarchy In The UK" on picture disc and Public Image Limited new four track 12" ep "One Drop".
13 April 2012.Frank Turner + Billy Bragg live at Wembley Arena,London.
I cannot remember the last time so much fuss was made about an artist playing this venue.
Frank himself has been talking about it for months since his Hammersmith Apollo show last November.Some of his fans are saying he is selling out by playing this huge venue.
NME had a three page interview with him a couple of weeks ago from the venue with pictures of him playing outside Wembley Park tube station,him on the Wembley Arena stage with all the seats behind him etc.
His promoters had a full page gig ad in NME this week with a big SOLD OUT sign across the poster.Not fully true as half a dozen blocks at the back are unsold but still a very impressive 9600 tickets sold.Keeping tickets down to a rock bottom £20 helped as nobody plays Wembley Arena that cheap.
I actually know more about support act Billy Bragg than Frank Turner.It is years since i last watched him but he is still totally excellent.Just him and his electric guitar and 45 mins of great clear lyrics full of passion with gems including "To Have And To Have Not","Sexuality","Never Buy The Sun","The Milkman Of Human Kindness","All You Fascists Bound To Lose" and superb versions of "Great Leap Forward" and "A New England" with all this younger crowd knowing the words as Frank Turner has namechecked Billy Bragg many times as his hero.
Frank Turner is this generations Billy Bragg in many ways.He really connects with his crowd over the 1 hour 45 mins set.Backed with a lively band and backing vocalists his barnstorming folk rock sent the floor standing wild with full singalongs and dancing.
His website www.frank-turner.com has an amazing giglist history where he has listed all his 1200 plus shows played since 2004 in 31 different countries.He loves playing live.
He really is one of the hardest working live acts out there and that is gradually paying off for him.
Lots of good songs played including "Eulogy",
"If Ever I Stray","Glory Hallalujah" and
"Four Simple Words".
He got his mum on stage for one song to help out on harmonica.His usual cover of Queens "Somebody To Love" seems an odd choice compared to his own style but the crowd love it.Encores were a cover of Dylans "The Times They Are A Changing" where he was joined by
Billy Bragg.Then it was "The Ballad Of Me And My Friends" and the streamers and confetti came out for "Photosynthesis".A really good show.A DVD of the gig will be coming out and Frank Turner announces a full UK tour on Monday.
11 April 2012.QPR 3 SWANSEA 0.
Squeaky bum time for QPR fans.
A full house tonight for this mega important game.We had to get a good result tonight and hope other teams in the relegation battle have bad results.
Regulars Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) and Mick Jones (Clash) were here.Also BBC Radio London dj Robert Elms.
QPR were on top form and Swansea had an off day.Gives us a little breathing space just above the bottom three teams.Great evening.
10 April 2012.The Titanic Requiem live at Central Hall,Westminster,London.
100 years to the day that The Titanic set off.A near full house at this 2000 capacity venue across the road from The Houses Of Parliament.A massive guest list of some 300 meant the start was delayed by 15 mins as the queue was huge.I was in a large room for press/vip/hospitality where the free booze was flowing before the show and at the interval.Quite a few faces here including RJ Gibb(Robin Gibbs son),Sir David Frost,Rick Wakeman,Pattie Boyd,Susan George,
Blue band members Duncan James,Simon Webbe and Antony Costs,Vanessa Feltz,actor John Altman,djs Paul Gambaccini,Bob Harris and Mike Read and boxer Chris Eubank.
Around 100 people on stage as there is a huge orchestra and choir.
The first set was 60 mins of music played by the orchestra on The Titanic as it sailed.
Some of it was well known pieces.
The second half was 75 mins of the new album.
On 15 April 1912 the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic and over 1,500 people died. 100 years later, Robin Gibb and his son RJ, commemorate this disastrous voyage and catastrophic loss of life with the release of "The Titanic Requiem", their first classical work together. Recorded at Air studios with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the RSVP Voices choir, and produced by Cliff Masterson and Savvas Iosifides, this modern classic includes three vocal pieces : "Daybreak" (Mario Frangoulis on the record but tonight sung by Aled Jones), "Christmas Day" (Isabel Suckling), and "Don't Cry Alone" in which Robin Gibb sings the lead vocal.Robin was taken ill again over the weekend so could not appear tonight so the recorded version was used tonight.That was a shame as he had cleared his diary for the past month to be in good health for this event but he has gone suddenly back into hospital with pneumonia.His son RJ made a couple of speeches thanking the crowd for their support etc and he introduced the album.
As expected it was a full classical concert really.Not very rock n roll but ok in parts.
Trivia note.The only band i have seen at the legendary Madison Square Gardens in New York was the Bee Gees in 1979.They happened to be playing there when i was in America for the first time.
Stuff over Easter that i was digging.
AC/DC "Live At River Plate".
The South American crowd are just amazing.
Scorpions "Live At Wacken".They still have not announced UK dates on their world tour.
Paul McCartney "Live In The U.S".
Rod Stewart And The Faces "The Best Of".
Manic Street Preachers "The Complete Singles".
Public Image Limited "The Greatest Hits So Far".
Glen Matlock And The Philistines "Born Running".
Foo Fighters "Greatest Hits".
Wombats "This Modern Glitch".
Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers "Greatest Hits".
Ace Frehley "No Regrets".
Tony Iommi "Iron Man".
Keith Richards "Life"
Nick Kent "Apathy For The Devil".
Frankie Poullain "Dancing In The Darkness".
03 April 2012.Kylie Minogue live at Hammersmith Apollo,London.
This special show was only announced last week via her website to celebrate her 25 years in the music biz.
For hardcore fans only as all tickets for this were a whopping £79 and but its still rammed.
Her arena tours have always been big amazing productions but this show is titled "Anti-Tour B-Sides-Demos-Rarities" and Kylie stated in advance that the big hits would not be played.
Quite a brave move for a mainstream pop act to play this kind of show but her fans know all the lesser known songs anyway.A great atmosphere.
I have a great view in front circle guest area near her 80s producer Pete Waterman,Boy George,Will Young and Nick Grimshaw.
There is no big stage production,dancers or multi costume changes like the arena shows but there are lots of lights and lasers.These work best on the uptempo disco based songs.
The pocket sized Aussie pop queen was on stage for two hours.All smiles and bubbly on stage
banter.The crowd adore her.
She used lyric sheets for some of the songs.
Tracks played included "Cherry Bomb","B.P.M.",
"Give Me Just A Little More Time","Too Much",
"Paper Dolls","Its No Secret" and the early hit
"Got To Be Certain".Encores were "Do It Again",
"Tears On My Pillow","One Boy Girl" and "Enjoy Yourself".A great show.
See afterparty page for this show.
April 03, 2012
02 April 2012.Buddy Rich 25th Anniversary Memorial Concert at The Palladium,London.
Bernard "Buddy" Rich (September 30, 1917 – April 2, 1987) was an American jazz drummer and bandleader. Rich was billed as "the world's greatest drummer" and was known for his virtuosic technique, power, groove, and speed.
He was very popular in the 1960s and 1970s and influenced many current drumming legends.
The venue is only half full as not enough general advertising was done for the gig.
Tonight we had around a dozen drummers play between 1 and 5 tracks.Some are well known.
Most using their own drumkits backed by The Buddy Rich Big Band.
We get some nice video footage of Buddy Rich on the big screen form the old days.
It is a long show of 3 hours 25 mins over two sets.Three Lifetime Achievement Awards are presented to Ian Paice,Ginger Baker and Clem Cattini(session drummer from 1960s and 1970s who played on 45 UK number one singles).All three are here to collect and make a speech.
The event was hosted by actor/comedian John Thompson and Cathy(Buddys daughter).
Singer Tony Christie sung a couple of tracks.
Gavin Harrison the drummer from Porcupine Tree played a couple of tracks.
Ian Paice played a couple of Buddy Rich songs then was joined by Bruce Dickinson to sing "Smoke On The Water" which sounded fantastic with the big band.
Ginger Baker played "Sunshine Of Your Love".
Then John Blackwell who plays with Prince did a very showy few tracks that the crowd loved.
American drummer Dave Wecki played a few tracks.
All the drummers tonight were just amazing.
Finale was three drumkits at front of stage with six drummers banging away including Ian Paice. An enjoyable evening.
See aftershow page for this event.
01 April 2012.Public image Limited live at Heaven,London.
This was PIL first of two sold out shows at this legendary club venue that holds around 1000.
It is their first full length show of the year.
I saw some gigs back in the day at Heaven.
Spandau Ballet(1980),Billy Idol(1982) and Armoury Show(1983).
It is being used again for gigs as the manager from The Astoria moved here when it closed and he has got promoters to put bands on again.
PIL are on for a nice long set of 2 hours 15 mins.They preview five new songs from the upcoming album that comes out at the end of May.Two which had their debut a fortnight ago and the other three were played for the very first time tonight.
The band sound great and guitar player Lu gets some amazing sounds and even uses a banjo.
Sex Pistols legend John Lydon is clearly enjoying himself.
Tracks played included "Deeper Water","This Is Not A Love Song","Albatross","Lollipop Opera",
superb versions of "Disappointed" and "Warrior".Also "Death Disco","Reginald","Flowers Of Romance" and a stunning "Religion".Also "Bags" and new single "One Drop".Encores included "Rise" and "Open Up".
An excellent show.
Sadly their classic first single "Public Image" was not played tonight.
31 March 2012.Glen Matlock And The Philistines live at Jamm,Brixton,London.
This was the bands first UK show after the month long co headline tour of North America with Hugh Cornwell.The venue was a big buzzing live music pub just five minutes walk from Brixton Academy.
The 200 strong crowd were a healthy mix of young and old.
The played band a 60 mins set that buzzed along with gems from Glens solo career along with Sex Pistols and Rich Kids classics and even a surprise or two including a rare outing of "My Little Philistine".
Glen and the band rocked straight from the start.
James Stevensons guitar riffs were great.
The full setlist was "Born Running","Different World","Somewhere Somehow","Burning Sounds",
"God Save The Queen","Idiot","White Knuckle Ride","Hey Mister","Yeah Right","Ghosts Of Princes And Towers","Steppin Stone","My Little Philistine","On Something","Rattle Your Cage" and a mass singalong for "Pretty Vacant".
It was one great tune after another really.
A really good gig.
29 March 2012.Paul McCartney live at The Royal Albert Hall,London.
This was show number two of the seven Teenage Cancer Trust shows here.
Paul McCartney plays London yet again as part of his private mission to play every venue in the capital.
This show was a totally rammed sellout.
Paul played here with The Beatles but i am pretty sure he has never played here with Wings or solo in the last 35 years.
Macca came on at 8.40pm for a 2 hours 5 mins set that was fantastic.The band and the sound is great and the crowd are loving it.
Gems played included "Magical Mystery Tour",
"Juniors Farm","All My Loving","Drive My Car",
"Let Me Roll It","Paperback Writer","The Long And Winding Road","Maybe I'm Amazed","Blackbird","Here Today","Dance Tonight","Eleanor Rigby","Something","Band On The Run","Back In The USSR","Let It Be","Hey Jude" and encores of "Daytripper",then for "Get Back" he was joined by Ronnie Wood and Paul Weller.Then "Yesterday" and "Carry That Weight".
So many Beatles classics in this superb show.
Macca really is one of the best live acts.
Only downside was the big screen used tonight was only half the size of his 02 Arena one and the set was 30 or 40 mins shorter than his usual show so crackers like "Jet" and "Live And Let Die" were not played.No doubt the venue would not allow the barrage of pyros for the latter.
Guests spotted here included Sarah Ferguson,David Walliams,Kelly Jones,Jarvis Cocker,boxing promoter Frank Warren,theatre chappie Richard Curtis,Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood and Stella McCartney.No doubt a few more were dotted about.
SHOCK NEWS.The Sonisphere Festival July 2012 has been cancelled.While getting KISS to headline the first night was a great coup the lame choice of other headliners Queen with Adam Lambert and Faith No More along with average support bands has no doubt hit advance ticket sales.
28 March 2012.Roger Daltrey + Paul Weller + Kelly Jones + Steve Winwood + Amy Macdonald live at The Royal Albert Hall,London.
This was the first of the seven shows for The Teenage Cancer Trust at this venue.Now in its 12th year i have seen at least two or three shows every year it has taken place.
Up first we had Roger Daltrey for a couple of acoustic blues numbers "Freedom Ride" and "Gimme A Stone".
Next was Kelly Jones for a 30 mins set including "Maybe Tomorrow" and "Dakota" then he was joined by Ronnie Wood and Paul Weller for covers of "Dont Let Me Down" and the Faces classic "Ooh La La".
Next up was Paul Weller and like Kelly Jones he is on for 30 mins and it is semi acoustic as no drummer was used.Tracks played included "English Rose","Aim High","All I Wanna Do Is Be With You" and "You Do Something To Me".
Then headliner Roger Daltrey with three gems "Who Are You","The Kids Are Alright" and "Behind Blue Eyes".Then Roger goes off the stage.We get three songs from Scottish singer Amy Macdonald which were two of her hits and a great version of Bruce Springsteens "Born To Run".Then we had two brilliant tracks by Steve Winwood "Higher Love" and "Gimme Some Lovin" then Roger back again for more gems "Pinball Wizard","I Can See For Miles","Wont Get Fooled Again" and "Young Man Blues".As usual "Baba O'Riley was superb and tonight he was joined by Ronnie Wood and Kelly Jones for it.His last song was "Without Your Love" from McVicar.
Roger was on stage for around an hour and was fantastic.The whole event was excellent.
27 March 2012.Hard Fi live at The Hard Rock Cafe,London W1.
Invite only gig for 200 comp winners and media for Absolute Radio.Freebie cocktails,JD and cokes,beers,wines and Hard Rock Cafe food for all here tonight for the evenings duration.
Hard Fi had massive success with their debut album "Stars Of CCTV" back in 2005 that sold over 600,000 in the UK but they have gone off the radar a bit as second and third albums have not done as well.
They have a nice mix of indie/rock/soul/dance and hints of their heroes The Clash and The Specials also in there.Their 50 mins set is punchy and soon gets very sweaty as the crowd get into it.Good tracks played included "Tied Up Too Tight","Good For Nothing" and biggies "Cash Machine","Hard To Beat" and "Living For The Weekend".A good show.
The bands for the last night to be filled at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park on Fri 13 July 2012 have been confirmed as Soundgarden + Iggy Pop And The Stooges + Cold Chisel.
Trivia fact.I saw Soundgarden play the opening launch night for Shepherds Bush Empire in March 1994 when it became a proper live music venue.
Exclusive news.Public Image Limited add another London show to their tour.They play The Forum Kentish Town on Saturday 11 Aug 2012.
26 March 2012.Harlem Globetrotters live at Wembley Arena,London.
The most famous basketball team in the world return to London as part of their annual world tour.Their origins date back to the 1920s and they have played over 20,000 exhibition games in over 100 different countries.It has been many years since i last saw them.
There were two sessions of 50 mins each so a kind of short evening that was all over by 9.30pm.There were loads of young kids in the crowd so that was the reason i suppose.
It was a mix of basketball tricks and slapstick entertainment within the game itself where the other team and the ref also were in on it and a couple of the HGs and the ref had mics on as there were lots of comedy chat during play.
The HGs won 97-90.I would imagine they always win.Lots of great shots,slam dunks and three pointers.Fast flowing and very entertaining.
The HGs had a player called Tiny in their team.
A staggering 7'8" tall.
After the game all the players signed stuff and posed for photos by the busy merchandise stand.

25 March 2012.Waterboys live at Hammersmith Apollo,London.
Respected Irish Celtic rockers back in London after i saw them at The Barbican a couple of years ago.I saw them a few times in their heyday period of 1985-1995.In fact i saw singer Mike Scott's pre Waterboys band Another Pretty Face a couple of times way back in 1980.
On stage for 2 hours 10 mins over two sets of 50 mins and 80 mins.
The first set was older material with great tunes including "A Girl Called Johnny","The Girl In The Swing" and "Glastonbury Song".
The band got into a great groove when drums,keyboards,guitars and electric fiddle were all playing together at full tilt
The second set was tracks from last years album "An Appointment With Mr Yeats".Some good lyrics but not as lively as the songs from the first set.
Superb encores of their biggest tracks "Dont Bang The Drum","The Whole Of The Moon" and "Fishermans Blues".A really good show.

Running a business is an incredible amount of work. These long hours can put tremendous strain on your personal life and your relationships, but there are ways to negate these obstacles. One of those ways is by relying on a call center as an after hours answering service. Here are 3 ways that a call center can help specialty contractors regain work-life balance.
1: Reclaiming Your Nights and Weekends
One of the things that many people don't understand about running your own business is that your day doesn't end when you leave the office, park the van or finish your last call. Many specialty contractors spend as much time working at home as they do at work. Returning emails and phone calls that come in after your normal work day has ended is not an uncommon task. A call center can help alleviate this stress by giving you your nights and weekends back. Not worrying that you'll miss something important lets you enjoy your time away from work.
2: Closing The Sale With The Help of a Call Center
Generating interest in your business and the services it provides is incredibly important, but converting a simple inquiry into a client is the key to success for any specialty contractor. When someone takes the time to contact you and inquire about your services, this is a great opportunity to book an appointment or sell your product. A call center can answer questions or concerns, take orders and generate invoices or shipments while you're having dinner, spending time with your family or even sleeping. In today's market, people want what they want, when they want it, and you never want to miss out on a sale because your schedule didn't match up with a potential client's.
3: Keeping Costs Down Through Outsourcing Answering Services
Keeping things in house is the goal of many business owners. It's often difficult to delegate work because you know exactly what you want and how you want it. As such, many businesses look to hire someone internally to take on answering services and email response; however, this can be a tremendous cost both financially and in terms of time. Finding the right candidate, training them to do the job and managing their progress is something that large businesses have whole teams dedicated to. In addition, salary and infrastructure can be very costly. A call center has already dedicated its time to finding the right people and have invested in the right tools for the job. Partnering with a call center provides you with the peace of mind of knowing that skilled professionals are dealing with your customers in the precise manner that you've described. This means that you get to do YOUR job during normal hours, and relax when you should be relaxing.
An after hours answering service provides you with exceptional value financially and allows you to regain control of your schedule. Wearing too many hats can take a huge toll on your mental, physical and financial health, so request a demo today and let us help you get your free time back.

The night belonged to "The Artist," as it one three big awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Academy Awards. However, these awards, which are given to the best in the film industry, are also about the beautiful gowns and stunning jewels that the A-list celebrities wear.
According to Forbes Magazine, the trend among jewelry was that stars went with old Hollywood glamour, as many were nothing short of elegant. The celebrities kept their earrings and necklaces modest, but their rings and bracelets made a statement. Diamonds and emeralds were popular among many, as were top designers Harry Winston, Fred Leighton, Lorraine Schwartz and Neil Lane.
All-in-all there were several best dressed at the event, but a couple truly stole the show. Emma Stone looked ravishing in a bold red Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown with a large tie-neck. According to People Magazine, the actress chose a Louis Vuitton sparkling silver clutch and a big, bold Louis Vuitton High Jewelry bracelet.
Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman also opted for radiant red dresses. The Best Actress nominee Williams donned a Louis Vuitton strapless number with a ruffled bodice and a light pink Bottega Veneta clutch and 30-carat Fred Leighton choker and matching brooch. Portman opted for a strapless as well, but her look was a bit more subtle. The actress's gown was red with small black polka dots and she matched it with some massive Harry Winston jewels, according to ABC News.
Kristen Wiig, who was nominated for the screenplay of "Bridesmaids," took on a neutral gown with her hair loose in waves past her shoulders. The tiered J. Mendel dress was simply perfect, and she paired it with Neil Lane jewels. Cameron Diaz, who presented with the equally beautiful Jennifer Lopez, also went for a subtle tone, as the actress donned an off-white gown with metallic accents. The strapless dress had ruching and a fishtail bottom, and it looked fantastic with the nearly $1 million worth of Tiffany jewels. Lopez also chose a metallic dress, as she wore an Art Deco-style low-cut Zuhair Murad gown that clung to her curves and showed off that flawless body. She paired it with drop diamond earrings and a sparkly clutch.
Jessica Chastain may have lost her Best Supporting Actress award to co-star Octavia Spencer, but she definitely won in many fashionista's eyes. The redhead looked exquisite in an Alexander McQueen gown with black and gold brocade down the front. Also, the $2 million Harry Winston yellow diamond earrings and bracelet truly added to the look.
Another star of the night was Meryl Streep, who looked elegant in a gold wrap-dress with dangling earrings. Streep won for Best Actress, earning herself her third Oscar and her 17th nomination, for her role as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady."
"I look out here and I see my life before my eyes," Streep said during her acceptance speech. "My old friends, my new friends and really... this is such a great honor, but the thing that counts the most with me is the friendships and the love and the sheer joy that we have shared making movies together. Thank you all of you - departed and here - for this inexplicable wonderful career."
Those who want to dress like their favorite A-list celebrities, but don't want to break the bank can still get the stand-out jewels by purchasing fashion jewelry.

I started to play the guitar about seven years ago, while I was still at school- homework always gave in to music, so I was no genius! As soon as I got home, I would put on a blues record- Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Memphis Slim, Champion Jack Dupree and Muddy Waters and many others as well as modern jazz greats like Charlie Parker, Charlie Mingus and Thelonious Monk, who are still my favourites.
When I got tired of the city and a job suffocating in an office, I went to Paris and sang and played in the streets to cinema queues and up and down the French Riviera. I must admit I was very glad when I was invited to play in night clubs where I could put down the plectrum and play finger style as I still do. Every summer for three years I would break the chains of a job (anything from librarian to crate-humper) and leave for the continent, taking £5– the fare to Paris, freedom and the sun of the Cote d'Azur. When I came back to England in the winter of 1961, I started to get more regular work playing in folk song clubs, and got my first "break" playing as accompanist along with Alexis Korner for Shirley Abicair, the Australian folk singer on broadcasts for radio, a TV series and a concert at the Royal Festival Hall.
When people ask me what type of guitar I play, I usually say "Blues, bits and pieces". The numbers on this album are a mixture of jazz and folk influences. I think that every number has its own particular mood. Before I play I don't know exactly what notes will come out, but I know the mood the number conjures up in me, so that on the framework of, say, a 12-bar blues with a slow tempo and a minor key, I can make the guitar cry by whining the strings.
On the other hand, for a calypso or fast rocking blues, I can use running single-line phrases with clipped notes to convey movement and excitement, filling in with block chords to keep the pulse of the number. For me, the richness of the guitar as a solo instrument, or a accompaniment to a singer lies in it's many voices and moods.
For the last two years, I have been playing in Nick's diner near Earl's Court where I eat excellent steaks and am acquiring a taste for good wine and cigars! Over the past year I have made half a dozen solo TV appearances, though I love to play with a band. I have recently joined Alexis' "Blues Incorporated" and have a ball both playing, and watching the dancers. All is said now except that I sincerely hope you enjoy this record either to listen to, or as a background to good conversation!

In our lifetime, we have seen more change than in the previous several centuries combined. We get the idea everything is changing. We even think God's revelation is changing and morality is now relative. But Jesus said: "Of this much I assure you: until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter of the law, not the smallest part of a letter, shall be done away with until it all comes true" (Mt 5:18). God's word will stand unchanged.
Jesus promised: "The heavens and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass" (Lk 21:33). The psalmist stated: "Permanence is Your word's chief trait; each of Your just ordinances is everlasting" (Ps 119:160). Because God does not change, His word does not change. The Lord said: "Surely I, the Lord, do not change, nor do you cease to be sons of Jacob" (Mal 3:6).
In a world that's changing so traumatically, when "future shock" is an understatement, it's lifesaving to know that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb 13:8). Alleluia!

The Daring Bakers' February 2012 host was – Lis! Lisa stepped in last minute and challenged us to create a quick bread we could call our own. She supplied us with a base recipe and shared some recipes she loves from various websites and encouraged us to build upon them and create new flavor profiles.
I used this challenge to make Banana Bread.
Oh, wait a minute! Before you yawn and click away, I used the banana bread to make yummy French Toast. I served it for dessert and my guests loved it! I made the banana bread and kept it for a couple of days (ok I did eat a few slices) allowing the bread to get a bit stale. Then I made French Toast...super easy and served it with Sweet Scoops Frozen Ginger Yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup. Then, because the french toast was so quick and easy, I had time to make some caramel and coat some banana slices for a crunchy garnish.
Banana Bread
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 each eggs, large sized
2 cups bananas, very ripe and mashed
2/3 cup buttermilk, room temperature
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the loaf pans by spraying with food release. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Cream butter in a mixer with the paddle attachment. Add sugar slowly and beat for about five minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the bananas.
Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk beginning and ending with the flour.
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake until a tester toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
Remove pans to a rack for about ten minutes. Remove bread from the pans and cool on a rack until room temperature.
Banana Bread French Toast:
8 slices Banana Bread, 3/4 inch thick
3 eggs
1 cup Half and Half
1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon fresh nutmeg, ground
2 tablespoons butter
Maple Syrup
Arrange slices of banana bread on platter to air dry fro several hours.
Beat eggs and brown sugar together in a medium bowl with a whip until just incorporated. Add the Half and Half and the nutmeg.
Arrange the French Toast on plates and garnish with maple syrup, frozen ginger yogurt and caramelized bananas, if desired
Serves 4

Editors note: This is a guest blog post from our regular blogger Susan Roan. Check out her website for more productivity tips.
Last year, the number of UK businesses in operation hit a record-breaking 5.4 million and, with small and medium-sized companies now adding over £1 trillion to the economy, there's no better time to take that leap of faith and start your own creative business.
With only an idea nestling inside your head and a blank piece of paper staring you in the face, the thought of making it all a reality can be rather overwhelming. In this post, I'd like to put your mind at ease and break down the process of launching a creative start-up into small, bite sized pieces.
A business is nothing without a plan. It's therefore time to get that idea out of your head, because a solid business plan is a must if you are to make your dream a reality and secure any necessary funding. There are templates aplenty online, and I'd recommend looking no further than the Government's own website for help and advice.
It's a great idea to road test your business idea and be ready for honest feedback. Before spending a penny, make contact with industry peers and anyone you feel you can trust to provide you with an honest opinion. Your idea is brilliant, you know that, but it is sensible to sanity check each element and see what others think. Act on the feedback you receive and amend your business plan accordingly.
Secure funding
Very few businesses can get off the ground without some form of funding and it is likely you'll need some capital to get going. However, before you rush to the bank, bear in mind that recent research suggests some SMEs are turning their backs on traditional methods of finance. Peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding websites such as Kickstarter offer a compelling alternative, so make sure you check them out. Make sure you know what you're doing and get financial advice from qualified experts.
Hire staff
Many creative businesses start off as sole endeavours. If you can go it alone to begin with, that's brilliant, but if you know you need staff to support your business and help it grow, hiring can present a number of challenges. I'd recommend looking on your doorstep, first. Do you have anyone close who may be interested in working for you? What about prior businesses at which you've worked yourself? There's no harm in poaching if it'll offer you the best chance to succeed. It's also worth checking out freelancing sites such as People Per Hour, which can offer a fantastic, low-cost alternative to hiring 'traditional' staff.
Formally set up
Once you're ready to get going, you'll need to perform some due diligence. If you're initially going it alone, I'd advise starting off on the sole trading route, but if you need to form a company, don't be put off by the prospect of setting up a limited company. Doing so is a lot easier than you think, and you'll benefit commercially. Just find a decent accountant to help you along the way – it'll be amongst the best investments you make.
Make contacts
Hit social media, hard. Interact with industry peers and experts and scour LinkedIn looking for valuable connections. Think of your business contacts as another form of marketing and one of the most important you should perform when initially launching your creative start-up.
Learn to say 'no'
When building a new business, it is tempting to take on every enquiry thrown your way. After all, you want to make a good first impression and build a significant client base, don't you? It doesn't hurt to be ambitious, but learn to walk before you can run. If you find yourself in the fortunate position of receiving a significant number of enquiries from the off, don't be afraid of turning down the ones you don't feel you can fulfil. It'll work out better in the long run.
Do you agree with Susan? Are there any you disagree with or would like to add? We'd love to know, so post them in the comments.

The Langlois-Chateau coat of arms
This coat of arms shows: a castle, referring to Jeanne Chateau's surname; a leopard, emblem of the Anglo-Angevins (Plantagenets), because Langlois means "the Englishman" in Old French; and a Vendée "heart", for the region of origin of Jeanne Chateau and Edouard Langlois' mother.
Born in 1873 in a rural family in the Saumur region, Edouard Langlois was a winemaker and a cellarman at St-Hilaire-St-Florent. He was 23 years old when he married 19-year-old Jeanne Chateau, whose family came from Vendée.
On August 1, 1912, the couple founded the family company Maison Langlois-Chateau at St-Hilaire-St-Florent, with the help of Baron de Bodman, owner of Château de St-Florent and the adjoining vineyard; the Baron would thus bring cellars, land, and buildings to the young firm which, also, bought the business of the former Maison Delandes, founded in 1885.
Langlois-Chateau specialized immediately in the production of "sparkling wines". Business started off weell, but was interrupted by World War I during which Edouard Langlois was killed on March 31, 1915. He was 42 years old and had been awarded the Croix de Guerre (Military Cross).
Military Medal and Croix de Guerre
His young widow took over the management of the business, later aided by her son-in-law, Maurice Leroux and her son, Alexis.
In 1973, Maison Bollinger, a family enterprise at Aÿ-Champagne, recognized the quality of Langlois-Chateau wines and acquired majority ownership, thus contributing its financial resources as well as its agencies in France and abroad. Michel Villedey, a son-in-law of the Bollinger family and also from Saumur, became president of the firm, assisted by Jean Leroux, son of Maurice.
The enterprise subsequntly experienced rapid growth, adding to the capacity of its cellars, creating vineyards at Saumur, Saumur-Champigny, and Sancerre (currently 73 hectares), and increasing its commercial investments.
In 2007, the firm was able to significantly enlarge its historical site at St-Hilaire St-Florent on the slopes overlooking the Loire, and to concentrate its entire production: presses, storage, cellars, distribution there, as well as administration and reception, all immediately adjacent to its vineyards.
Alongside the production of its "fine bubble wines" under the Appellation "Crémant de Loire, " our winery also produces "still wines" from its own vineyards.
François-Régis de Fougeroux now heads Langlois-Chateau (since October 2008). He has joined the House in 2001 as Production Manager. Michel Villedey is still in the board as non executive President.

|Replacing Cam/timing belt

|Ok, I'm starting to consider changing the timing belt. I bought the car a few weeks ago and have no idea when it was last changed. I screwed up the head on my 325BMW a few years ago (bent valves) when the belt broke. Now, I'm paranoid. Belts are a lot cheaper than heads. . .
I can't seem to find any good info on changing the belt. Even my 'manual' doesn't seem to give a very good idea of how to change it - except for telling me how to tension it properly. I searched this forum and there doesn't seem to be any info.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
And - any recommendations on a tool to check the belt tension?
I'll post elsewhere about my carburation travails when I decide to tackle that. I posted before - i think I'm running way rich but should probably check timing, plugs, etc before I jump into friggin around with the carbs.

|Changing the belt, the short version as I know it from my simple car, which isn't as complex as some models with smog pumps etc.
1) Get beer and buddy. Drink beer. Talk to buddy.
2) Drain radiator. Remove upper and lower radiator bolts, remove radiator, hoses and fan from water pump pulley.
3) Remove the timing cover shroud. Cuss about the tiny bolts and cheap lock nuts.
4) Take timing cover, put into your right hand, go to your back yard, and throw it as far as you can. Remove studs the cover was mounting on, vowing to never put that plastic POS back on there. From now own you'll take it like a man and lose a finger if you stick in it in the cam gear while the engine is running.
5) Drink. Talk to buddy.
6) Use a wrench to turn the engine over to TDC. Make sure timing pulley marks are aligned. If they are not aligned, turn it over once more to the other TDC.
7) Untension the alternator and remove the alternator/water pump drive belt.
8) Drink. Talk to buddy.
9) Use pulley puller to pull front crank pulley.
10) Using two wrenches on the tensioner bolt/assembly, release tension on the cam drive belt. Remove belt whilst not disturbing the cam gear positioning. Do not disturb the distributor/oil pump gear positioning, but you'll have to re time the motor anyhow.
11) Drink. Evaluate chances of getting done with the job in time to please The Minister of Domestic Affairs (i.e., Wife).
12) Inspect all driven gears for problems - chipped teeth, missing teeth, rocks in cracks that might cause problems later, etc.
13) Put new belt on, trying it different ways until you get the slack in the right place - right where the tensioner is so that it can be taken out.
14) Tighten tensioner. Tighten it enough so that you can just twist the belt 45 degrees. Once you are sure everything is good, timing is good, marks are all aligned, then turn the engine though a couple of revolutions and re-check timing and tension. Make sure all is good, if not, repeat.
15) Drink. Talk to buddy.
16) Now, re-install all the stuff you took off and you'll be good to go. If you have a leaking front seal on your motor, now is the time to replace it.

|dumb question on tdc. Everyone refers to alighning pulley marks. Where should the marks be?

|Four marks on the engine, one on the crank. Crank mark should be aligned with the right most mark when viewed from the front of the engine. Each mark is 10 before TDC, so, first mark to the left of the most right one is 10 degrees before TDC, next is 20, and so on.

Very good for a neophite! and I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the timing cover!
Just one little thing...
Don't change the belt at TDC. Instead, position the engine at 90^BTDC. That way, if something does move, the pistons are far enough down to eliminate damage.
It is very easy for one (I can't remember which) cam to rotate clockwise at TDC while fine-tuning. Getting either cam to rotate counter-clockwise is difficult as the bolt likes to come loose first.
Put the new belt on, tighten it, then rotate and watch the marks line up. If they're off...it's easier and less risky to ajust at this point.
Keep up the good work Ron!

|You can safely change the belt with the engine at TDC, provided you ensure that the cams do not rotate, but as Judson points out it is much safer to do it at 90^ BTDC.
And when the engine is at 90^ BTDC, I suggest that you mark the alignment point of the cam gears before loosening the belt tensioner. This allows accidental movement of either gear to be quickly corrected, while avoiding the need to repeatedly go through the whole tedious installation process. Naturally one would always make a final check at TDC.
From the engine bay photos I've seen, I'd guess that about 80% of all JH and GT owners strongly dislike the factory timing belt cover. Nonetheless, since it is a safety feature, discarding it is a bit worrisome. It occurs to me that one might fabricate a sensible alternative from expanded metal mesh, ideally with a folded metal strip or a thin wire secured to the edges for strength and stiffness. This would allow visual and tactile examination of the timing belt and the front of the engine, yet would discourage or prevent the unintentional maiming of children, small animals, or incautious vehicle owners.
Come to think of it, this might even be a decent product for Greg Fletcher to add to the 'Jensport' line.

|Good point Judson, it is actually how I did my own too, I left that out. I would definitely turn the crank 90 degrees before pulling the old belt and putting the new on one - it'll possibly save you a bent valve. Valves bend much easier than people think, much easier than I ever thought too, until I bent my first one (of a few) on a motorcycle with a cam chain R&R and then learned the hard way.

I have got a jensen healey from 72.
I would like to know where I can buy a belt/gear set as indicated in this article:
[ Adjustable Camshaft Gears
The newer style half moon tooth belt is a must have for any performance (or not) engine. A belt/gear set will set you back about US$300 but the piece of mind you get from that heavy duty belt is worth the extra cash. Positive grip prevents belt jumping and improves torque off the crankshaft (dyno tests indicate an extra two bhp). An added bonus, the belts last much longer (I change mine at 40,000 mile intervals) and replacements now only run about US$22 for the quality US made version. Forget that routine 18,000 mile timing belt change forever! ]

|These are getting harder to find, I'd try Dave Bean Engineering or JAE. When the cost was $285 for a set, it seemed like a good idea, however the cost now is more like $550-$600 and does not seem nearly as cost effective. It's a great upgrade, but changing your old belt every 18,000 miles is a lot cheaper.

|dumb question, what is the distance between each of the marks on the engine?
How do i find 90^ BTDC? do i divide the cranks pully in 1/2 since one complete rotation = 180^
|Posted: 12-15-2006 12:40 pm
|12th Post
|The distance is 6 teeth on the cam gears and aux gear. I marked it with a sharpie and turned the crank 90 degrees then, checked to see if the spots were lined up. I then marked the crank. I then used a punch and made some permanent 90 degree marks.
The importance of using 90 degrees is that all the pistons are are half-mast so if/when you do turn a cam, the valves can't hit the pistons. It seems the cams are prone to turning and are spring loaded when at TDC and also 90 degrees. This is also a good time to replace all the seals. I found all of mine to be very hard crumbly worthless bits of old rubber.
Good Luck

|A few notes we would like to add to this adventure:
Pulley remover not always needed.
But removal of the radiator allows use of impact wrench to undo the crank pulley bolt without moving the the belt/timing
Also for belt tensioning:
start to finish about 5 hours including beer and a haircut for the kid/child labor
Also we found this trick for managing the motion of the tensioner/distributor pulley helpful

Hugh Grant surprised everyone last year when it was announced he was the father of a newborn baby, and now the British actor is speaking out about his daughter.
"I like my daughter very much," Grant recently told The Guardian, though he's still adjusting to life as a dad. "Has she changed my life? I'm not sure. Not yet. Not massively, no. But I'm absolutely thrilled to have had her, I really am. And I feel a better person."
His daughter, whose name is Tabitha, was born in early October, though his rep didn't confirm the happy news until weeks later. Grant's rep said the actor had a "fleeting affair" with the child's mother, Tinglan Hong, and he is careful to protect her privacy.
"I shouldn't have gone to the hospital at all, because it brought all this attention down on the mother's head," he said about the media frenzy over his daughter's birth. "But I couldn't really resist it, so I went on the second day."
"She is a good person, a nice person; funny, clever, great mother," he continued about Hong. "And she's been very badly treated by the media."
A British judge even had to issue an injunction to keep the press away from Hong, who was constantly harassed after having Grant's child.
"She has had to cancel appointments, including ones for her child," the judge said. "She is frightened to drive with her child because the distraction makes it unsafe."
Though he may be new to fatherhood, Grant told The Guardian he plans to raise Tabitha to be an unselfish, well-mannered child, and doesn't plan to spoil her.
"There are few things in life I believe in 100 percent, but ... one is not giving your children money," he said. "I see nothing but f**k-ups among my trust-fund friends. It's like 99 percent f**k-ups. So I would not want to do that to my children, no."

Alternate Visas (non F-1)
|Submitting the 1-20 Visa Certificate Application
The F-1 student visa is a non-immigrant visa issued by a United States Embassy or Consulate abroad to international students coming to the United States for the purpose of pursuing full-time studies at an academic institution.
All of the relevant forms for applying for the Form I-20/F1 Visa Certificate:
Complete and Submit the Application for Form 1-20/F1 Visa Certificate
After you are accepted to Gordon-Conwell, you begin another application process to receive a Form I-20 to use in support of an application for an F-1 student visa at a United States Embassy or Consulate. Complete and submit the Application for Form I-20/F1 Visa Certificate.
When completing the Application for I-20/Visa Certificate, you are required to show full proof of funding for one academic year in the amounts specified on page two of the application and on the Financial Certification form. You must submit all original documents, including original bank statements, support letters/affidavits of support, and any other information requested of you. Because Gordon-Conwell and the embassy/consulate both require original documents, request two sets of financial documents from each source of funding.
All documents must have been prepared within the last 3 months and should indicate reasonable means of support for future years. Gordon-Conwell will not accept any financial documents more than 3 months old. Gordon-Conwell and the embassy official will subject financial documents (especially private sponsor guarantees) to careful review and consideration. Especially during your visa interview, be prepared to explain all financial sources and if requested, submit additional documentation as needed.
If you are receiving financial support, each supporter must complete an Affidavit of Support form. Complete and submit these forms, as needed, along with your application. You may also choose to provide another affidavit of support format, provided that the affidavit contains all of the information contained in the forms provided.
Once you have met all the requirements for receiving a Form I-20 (including the financial certification portions of the application), please submit your completed application materials to email@example.com.
Canadian Students (if applicable)
Canadian citizens are not required to obtain an F-1 visa. Canadian citizens must, however, receive an I-20 and pay the SEVIS fee. Canadians are also required to abide by all other provisions and restrictions for lawfully maintaining F-1 status, including provisions for employment and full time enrollment each semester. Click here for more information regarding the visa exemption for Canadian citizens.
|Preparing for F-1 Student Visa Embassy Appointment
Paying the SEVIS Fee
To obtain a visa, you must first pay a fee (called the I-901/SEVIS fee) prior to applying at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Only the primary applicant is required to pay the SEVIS fee, meaning if you have family members that will accompany you to the U.S. you do not need to pay this fee for each family member. Some embassies or consulates will accept the online generated SEVIS fee receipt, while others may require the official receipt generated by SEVIS and sent to you via mail.
Scheduling and Preparing for an Appointment
When you visit the embassy or consulate, bring your passport, Form I-20(s), all financial documents used to apply for your I-20, as well as passports for each dependent that will accompany you to the U.S. You will also need two passport-size photographs of each visa applicant. Click here for specifications. If your family name is different from your dependents, be prepared to show documents that prove your relationship (e.g. marriage certificate or family registry). You will complete Form DS-160 (Non-immigrant Visa Application Form) along with any supplementary forms required by the particular embassy or consulate. On occasion, a Visa Officer may require evidence (in addition to the certification on your Form I-20) of English proficiency sufficient to pursue your proposed program of study as well as proof of economic/social ties to your native country.
In most cases applications must be made in person. The length of visa validity, number of entries permitted, and application fee are based on reciprocity and generally reflect your country's policies for granting visa privileges for full-time study in the U.S. Remember, the Officer has the final word on your application; his or her judgment is not subject to review. Standards for visa eligibility may be considerably more rigorous than the standards you must meet to qualify for a Form I-20. Use good judgment as to whether to submit additional information with your entry visa application.

Information about New Student Orientation
F-2 spouses and children are not permitted to work while in the United States under any circumstances at any time.
Health Insurance
Non U.S. Based Insurance: Students with non-U.S. based health insurance plans are not permitted to waive coverage. This means any insurance provider that is not based in the U.S. and does not have a U.S. based claims payable address cannot be used to waive the student insurance requirement.
Family Members: It is important that students obtain adequate health insurance coverage for each member of their family. While the seminary plan is available to dependents at additional costs, coverage is available through other sources as well. However, we encourage students to determine what other plans cover and whether this coverage will be sufficient for their family. Regardless of the cost, students must ensure that family members are covered under a comprehensive medical plan.
Maintaining Lawful Visa Status
Full Time Enrollment Requirement: F-1 visa students are required to register full time each semester (fall and spring) at Gordon-Conwell. Full-time status at Gordon-Conwell is equal to 7.5 credit hours per semester. At Gordon-Conwell, most classes are 3 credits each, so this generally means you need to take at least three classes per semester to be considered full time. Only one Semlink (i.e. Gordon-Conwell's distance learning format option) course per semester can count toward full-time status.
Employment Restrictions: F-1 student visas have strict employment restrictions. Employment is broadly defined by the U.S. Department of State as "any service provided in exchange for financial or material compensation." F-1 students must not accept any form of off-campus employment unless prior USCIS authorization is granted, which may be granted to students who apply with the Designated School Official/International Student Adviser in the Office of Student Life Services for training related to their degree program. This training is referred to as Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT). Authorized on-campus employment is permitted for F-1 visa holders only, though it is limited.

...a long siesta is in order.
First we found the perfect spot which we had spied from the top of Notre Dame. It was the garden courtyard of a nearby church. I THINK it could have been called St. Thomas, but as I didn't write it down I cannot be sure.
We found a bench and pulled out the tasty lunch I picked up on Rue Cler that morning. Baguette sandwiches, fresh tomatoes, blueberries, and red wine.
After we ate I stretched out on the bench, laid my head in Gana's lap and took a nap. Tres refreshing!
Once the heat of the afternoon had passed we were ready to continue taking in the city, via foot. This is the way I recommend seeing Paris. Just walk. There is scope for the imagination everywhere (as Anne would say)!

Colour Codes
Here's a tactile way for your child to begin learning how to colour match! She'll begin by making a "decoder." Then, it's a race against time to see how quickly she can decode and correctly place all of the water beads.
What You Need:
- Water beads (at least 5 colors, pre-soaked overnight and strained)
- Construction paper (5 colors that match your colour beads)
- White paper
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Plastic wrap
- Timer
What You Do:
- Help your child cut strips of each colour of construction paper, 8.5" x 2".
- Ask her to lay them out in stripes on the white paper. Glue them in place.
- Help her cover the striped paper with plastic wrap to protect it against water from the water beads.
- With a bowl of water beads on one side and the striped paper in front of her, set the timer for 30 seconds and see how many beads she can get to match the stripes by placing them on the correct colors.
- For a more challenging game, start discussing colour mixing And have her place the correct mixture on the stripes to make the colour she's matching.
Colour Key:
Blue + Yellow = Green
Red + Yellow = Orange
Blue + Red = Purple

FIRST ON THE BLOG (other than Arkansas TV News): A change has occurred in the Ark-La-Tex market. The first in such a while now.
KTAL 6's owners at Nexstar have brought the operations of KMSS 33, even though its owned by Mission Broadcasting. But its operations are just good enough for Nexstar and KTAL 6 that the station has now taken over the 9:00 p.m. newscast that KMSS 33 has been airing for years now.
KMSS 33 has been previously airing a pre-recorded 9:00 p.m. newscast, produced by KETK 56 in Tyler, TX. But with the changes in ownership/operationship, KMSS 33 now airs FOX 33 News, First at 9:00, a LIVE half-hour newscast produced by KTAL 6. Unlike the pre-recorded newscast, this one is as mentioned before, LIVE, focused towards the Ark-La-Tex market and is now expanded to 7 nights a week. However, this newscast does compete against KPXJ 21's hour-long nightly 9:00 p.m. newscast that is produced by KTBS 3. The changes at KMSS 33 have been taken place since February 2nd, 2015.
It does bring KMSS 33 with some sort of news coverage with an Ark-La-Tex focus. Good for KMSS 33 because it now gives KTAL 6 with more news coverage under different names. That's just nice.

The suspension of Uber, a smartphone app that connects riders and drivers but which has faced legal complaints in several countries, will remain in effect until a court has made a final ruling, the 15th Circuit Court said.
Uber launched Tuesday in Buenos Aires without authorization, triggering protests by taxi drivers who blocked major avenues and snarled traffic.
Although ride-hailing apps have risen rapidly globally to become a booming industry, they face stiff resistance from traditional taxis and bans over safety concerns and questions about legal issues, including taxes.
Taxi drivers often complain that Uber drivers do not pay for permits or taxes. Uber argues it is not a transport company like taxi firms.
"What they are doing is illegal. They are not delivering transport under existing laws," Buenos Aires transport chief Juan Jose Mendez said this week.
The Argentine capital's sprawl engulfs 13 million people, and millions more commute in and out every day. The city has 38,000 taxis.
Licensed taxi drivers, who must undergo hundreds of hours of training in some countries, accuse Uber of endangering their jobs by flooding the market with cheaper drivers who need only a GPS to get around.
