Today's featured senior session comes to you from Gallery Seven Photography, located in Louisville, KY!
Robin shared about this session: "Kennedy's session was so great! She goes to school in a cute southern Indiana town that is just hop, skip and jump away from Louisville, KY. She had a fun light hearted personality and showed it in her first outfit and then turned it around and showed her sophisticated side. Then it all ended letting everyone know that girls can play too! Kennedy graduates this year and had a full session done at the beginning of the school year, but mom needed a few unique shots for her graduation announcements. I think we nailed it!"
Inspiration: "Kennedy is a home town girl going away to school. We shot in the places that she knows and loves while celebrating where she is headed. In the shoot she shows off her style, her college of choice and her sport!"
Gear: Nikon D610
Nikkor 85mm 1.4
Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8
"Kennedy did her own hair and make up!"
WOW! She totally rocked her hair and makeup! What a beauty! I love all of these…that last set is great, her laugh is infectious! Thanks so much for sharing this session with us!
Robin shared a little about herself: "I've been in photography for over 20 years. I worked for a large studio for five years just before digital became the only way. Moved around a little due to the military spouse life so it took me away from shooting, but when I moved home three years ago, I started shooting again. Finally decided to make the move and start my own photography business in 2013. When people ask me why I'm a photographer, it's because everyone should have pictures…everyone should have something to look at to remember those loved ones and moments that have passed by."

2 Corinthians 3:4-11
Wednesday, August 4 / July 22 (Church Calendar)
Saints of the Day:
A shrine, near the entrance to the Monastery.
Quote of the Day:
"If we reproach the sins of brothers, then God will reproach our sins, and if thou seest a brother sinning, believe not thine eyes and know, that thine own sin is like a wood-beam, but the sin of thy brother is like a wood-splinter, and then thou wilt not come into distress and temptation." Saint Poimen the Great
Scripture Readings for the Day:
The Spirit, Not the Letter4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Glory of the New Covenant7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
Matthew 23:29-39
29 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
31 "Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

Walking around
I got a note the other day saying that I had to do some paperwork in connection with finding another place to live. I went down (an hour walk) and found out what paperwork I would need to have, and I could have gotten that information by calling. Oh my aching foot. It gets better and then worse, and I have to look up some information.

My wonderful father sent this to me. I like the questions asked. I think I've seen this site before, but it was interesting to see this site again. To some of you, this may prove to be a boring list. To others, it may be fascinating. Enjoy!
This is a great web site. It allows you to obtain a detailed look at the spending programs in the Stimulus bill and is broken down: first by states and second by cities. Too bad this wasn't available to all the Reps and Senators prior to voting. Still, great information. ..CLICK ON YOUR STATE AND THEN YOUR CITY What is immediately stimulative? What might better be considered in separate spending bills? What is social spending? What programs, once initiated, would require indefinite ongoing funding? http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/by_state

Rule #1: Never leave a toddler alone with a bottle of glitter.
I'm going to be honest with you. There are no real "rules of crafting". That is what I love about it. There are no preconceived notions about what crafting can or cannot be. Just one visit to Pinterest will show you that. A wood pallet turned into stunning wall art? Craft-astic! (Where are all these people getting pallets anyway? Is there a pallet black market that I'm unaware of??) Lace turned into a gorgeous tiara? Craft-actular!
So my "rule book" is simply an irreverent guide for the beginner crafter, that includes tips, simple projects, and a generous helping of "the sillies" (as my 3 year old calls them). Here is a sneak peek at what is coming soon:
- Personalized Subway Art – for the beginner and expert crafter
- A Zoo Animal series for preschoolers/toddlers
- Mother's Day gifts at any budget
- Gorgeous and simple Spring crafts
- Homemade card tutorials
Want to know more about me? Visit the "about" page. Thanks for dropping by and let me know in the comments what craft project you are working on right now.

Had some fantastic news yesterday about our short film All Bad Things…, which centres upon a bizarre meeting in a restaurant. Obviously, it's crucial we get an authentic location for the shoot; no one's going to be convinced by a couple of trestle tables under a bed sheet.
Well, last night I took a 'phone call from the owner of an award-winning Bangladeshi restaurant which my late wife and I first visited shortly after its launch in 1987, remaining regulars for the next twenty years. He'd read our proposal and wanted to support the project, offering access to either (or both) of his two premises. It's a massive thumbs-up for the project, and for everyone working on it.
We're hoping to schedule the shoot for the last Sunday in July. Now the lead actors and location are in place, we're looking for volunteers to help out on the day, either behind or in front of the camera. If you're interested, drop me a line via firstname.lastname@example.com.
Update 30/7/17: Unfortunately, we had to postpone the shoot, but only by a few weeks. As the Romans used to say, festina lente.
Update 10/8/17: The shoot is now scheduled for 20 August.

I don't like Obama's agenda to spread the wealth, because I feel, people prosper more by earning their own way. Obama Care is another way to spread the wealth and cause more U.S. residents to become more dependent. I don't like how dependent I am on others, and Obama's agenda is making it harder for the average person to be independent.
I'm not the average person who I'm talking about, but I prosper when I find ways to become more independent. Obama Care affects me by raising my taxes, and taking money that I'd rather spend ells where. People who say they can't afford healthcare, but go out for drinks every night after work, make me sick, pun intended.
How I found Obama Care works is that the Fed will raise the taxes for everyone, but if you don't earn too much, you can be reimbursed with a bigger tax refund, if you file your taxes correctly. If you earn too much, you won't be reimbursed, and will need to find ways to pay the higher tax.
"Spreading the Wealth is Wrong…."
The wealthy of America own businesses, services, department stores, even corner markets. How do you think they will afford the higher taxes? I have a guess, but just a guess, the prices of services and products will go up, and businesses won't be hiring, no instead, they will be firing.
The average person will suffer…. I'm glad I'm not average. Please share your story with everyone, if you are an average person.
I wouldn't mind a Federal healthcare that's less expensive with the basic cares that the young American needs, to compete with the health insurance companies. A Federal healthcare that's less expensive, and includes the higher care that's in the expensive healthcare planes will bankrupted the health insurance companies. That's un-American….
Help the Republican Party do away with Obama Care.

Last 2005, I got hooked with Sylvanian Families. I order from US, Japan and Malaysia to complete some other stuffs that are not available here. Super Addicted!!! But scrapbooking is more addicting. No more for my Sylvanian.... low demand and supply
My hubby also supports me buying some for me also. He said "they are really cute and look like real". Wow!!
This EMPTY deluxe house was a gift from my hubby. I was the one who bought the furnitures. "kung baga si Hubby ang nag-start and me lang ang nagpuno"
Sylvanian Families (シルバニアファミリー) is the name of a line of anthropomorphic collectible toy figures, created by JapaneseEpoch in 1985 and distributed worldwide by a number of companies. The characters, grouped into families, feature woodlandcreatures such as beavers, hedgehogs, mice and bears. They remain a quintessential part of the 1990s boom in craze (or fad) toys..
At the beginning of production, in 1985, Sylvanian Families were released in both Japan and North America, albeit with different packaging and minor differences to the characters themselves. In 1987, the success in these markets led to expansion into the UK and Ireland. By 1988, Sylvanian Families had become a major success around the world, spawning a spinoff animated series, and winning the British Association of Toy Retailers award for Toy of the Year three years consecutively, in 1987, 1988 and 1989. There was also a cartoon TV series shown in the 80s that was popular in Spain and England.
In 1993, Tomy, who had been distributing the toys worldwide, lost the rights to the name "Sylvanian Families" in Canada and the US. Tomy reintroduced the line under the new name Calico Critters.

As the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) prepares to hold its first National 1001 New Worshipping Communities Conference in Florida on Aug. 10-13, a survey of leaders of new worshipping communities in the PC(USA) has found that those leaders characterize their communities as being younger and more racially diverse than the denomination's membership as a whole and say only about a third attended a PC(USA) congregation before becoming involved in that community.
The survey covers a variety of evangelical initiatives in the PC(USA), including new worshipping communities, immigrant fellowships, new church developments and "other expressions of church" — those that are not fully-organized congregations or recently organized congregations, the report states. The survey draws on responses from 143 leaders gathered from Jan. 12 to Feb. 18, 2015, a response rate of 31 percent.
The results give a glimpse into what's happening in the PC(USA)'s 1001 New Worshipping Communities program — an evangelistic outreach that's generated enthusiasm for innovation among Presbyterians eager to try new approaches to ministry and push past gloom-and-doom reports of falling denominational membership and revenues. "These new worshiping communities have the potential to help the PC(USA) shift from an inward-focused, membership- maintenance model of church to a more outward-focused, creative, and disciple-making model," the survey report states.
Among the findings:
- More than half of the communities (57 percent) meet outside of traditional church spaces (18 percent in homes, 11 percent in bars or pubs and 9 percent in coffee shops), and 9 percent run a business as part of their mission.
- Nearly half of the communities (48 percent) are located in urban areas; 22 percent in the suburbs; 17 percent in small towns; 7 percent on a college or university campus; and only 2 percent in rural areas.
- More than half of the worship leaders are teaching elders (55 percent), and 24 percent are in their first call. About one in five (19 percent) are ruling elders. Fewer than a third (29 percent) of the leaders are women — compared to the 35 percent of active PC(USA) pastors who are female. Just over half (51 percent) identified themselves as white; 20 percent Hispanic or Latino; 13 percent Asian; 11 percent black or African American.
When it comes to other parts of the survey, however, how accurate the survey's results are depends in part on how good of a job the leaders did in describing the people involved with their worshipping communities.
In some of the survey questions, the leaders describe themselves (their training and ordination status, for example, or their gender and race). Other questions ask about the worshipping community — such as where it meets and how often. And another set of questions asks the leaders to describe the people involved in their worshipping community — including the age, race and faith background of attendees and the primary language they speak.
The survey states, for example, that 20 percent of the participants had not attended church in the last five years (described as "dechurched"); 17 percent had no previous religious affiliation ("unchurched"); 33 percent attended a church of another denomination; and 7 percent were of a non-Christian faith. It states that 53 percent of the participants are racial-ethnic, compared to only 8 percent of members in the PC(USA).
Asked how those figures were arrived at — since worship leaders were surveyed but participants were not — Angie Andriot and Deb Coe of Presbyterian Research Services said the answers and percentages reflect the worship leaders' knowledge and perception of their communities. "We're making the assumption that the person responding to the survey has really gotten to know the people in their organization and they can tell you from their own personal knowledge," Coe said, adding that most of the worshipping communities are small — fewer than 50 people.
Andriot also said that some measures used in this survey — such as worship leaders reporting the racial makeup of a community — are comparable with what's done with the annual statistical reports that PC(USA) congregations submit. Many immigrant fellowships draw participants from the same country or region, she said, so it's relatively easy to tell the primary language and ethnicity.
It's true, however, that "the information is only as good as the leader's connection to the group, the members," Andriot said. Coe and Andriot gave the margin of error of the survey as plus or minus 5 percent.
Part of the reason for doing the survey, Coe and Andriot said, was to get a baseline sense of the worshipping communities that can be compared with results down the road. The intent of the 1001 program is for the PC(USA) to establish 1001 new worshipping communities between 2012 and 2022.
Already, the researchers have seen that "there's a lot more variation than we maybe anticipated in how they define being a community, what that looks like to them, what's important to them," Coe said.
Among other findings of the survey:
» The worshipping communities tended to have younger participants than the typical PC(USA) congregation (according to the ages reported by the worship leaders — not self-reporting of the participants). In the worshipping communities, worship leaders reported that 43 percent of participants were ages 19 to 39; that 27 percent were ages 40 to 64; and only 9 percent were 65 and older.
- Most communities (84 percent) meet at least once a week. The median size of a community is 33 regular participants.
- More than three-quarters (68 percent) of the communities have more than 20 percent racial-ethnic participation. But about a third (34 percent) have no racial diversity.
- Most of the communities (72 percent) have one or more partner congregations.
- While some communities use classic approaches — Bible study and small groups — others spoke of the arts and community building. "We hang out," the survey quotes one leader as saying. "It's simple, that's why it works."

Architecture » RENGA STRUCTURE » TAGGING PARTS
Assign tags to all structure elements in the 3D model
Renga Structure allows designers to tag individual objects and entire groups of building structures. All objects with tags are considered for inclusion in bills of materials and specification sheets. Tagged objects can now be placed individually in layout drawings and used to develop project estimates.
After designers tag structural elements during the development of 3D models, they can then select objects by grade. This decreases the time needed to assign geometric and material properties, or to make significant changes to all objects of the same grade.

not for me to judge...
But in the end it is not for me to judge. I do not know the participants of this tragedy. Though I have lost loved ones before their time, I've never gone through such a horrific scenario. I pray that I never have to.
Unfortunately there are other people who have been through it. Dana writes of her sister-in-law, her best friend. It's a sobering and sad story.

I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
"Death is swallowed up in victory."
"O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?"
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
I Corinthians 15:50-58

the great kyle kendrick prank
This is an all-timer, if only because of the tremendous cooperation of so many to pull it off so convincingly. What a world we live in, that something like this can get done and then replayed on the Internet over and over again. And Bill Conlin, the Philadelphia Daily News' grand ol' ball scribe, weighs in with the humorous details of a similar gag on another Phillies player from the early 1970s, when technology was far more primitive. A final thought: Does anyone else think Phils pitcher Brett Myers, who finally reveals the gag to Kendrick at the end of that video, is a total jackass? What a handjob.

Someone should dress up like a cop and arrest Myers in the locker room for beating up his wife again. NOW that would be a good prank. Although I doubt Kendrick has the guts to do it. He probably likes playing with 2 balls...

Campaign for Direct Democracy
29 December 2010
UK: Public will be given right to petition for Bills
Not only is this latest proposal made by the establishment parties condescending (who 'gives' the citizens what rightfully is theirs in any case?) but also just another trick to lull the electorate into a false sense of democratic progress. Does it really make any difference if a petition that is supported by 100,000 signatures is 'ensured' time for a Commons debate (likely to be a near-empty chamber)?

Christmas countdown, day 18
Friday's treats were lovable, snuggable and huggable. They were met with all three.
From the package of stuffed friends, Alena chose a gingerbread baby; Alivia selected a reindeer; Alysse picked a snowman; and Trace got a puppy by default ... everyone else knew better than to grab it.
Their holiday friends were tucked in bed with them. Loved.

In a treatment that equates Internet addicts to mentally ill people, China is giving electric shocks to people who spend more time on the Internet than required.
The Chinese government has launched a nationwide campaign to treat "Internet addiction" and many Internet-addiction clinics have been opened in this regard.
A recent survey found that nearly 14 percent of teens in China are vulnerable to becoming addicted to the Internet.
The "addicts" are treated by counseling, military discipline, drugs, hypnosis and mild electric shocks. The clinic also has metal grates and padlocks on every door and bars on every window
Washington Post
Now the country is turning its attention to fighting another, supposed addiction -- one that has been blamed in the state-run media for a murder over virtual property earned in an online game, for a string of suicides and for the failure of youths in their studies.
The Chinese government in recent months has joined South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam in taking measures to try to limit the time teens spend online. It has passed regulations banning youths from Internet cafes and has implemented control programs that kick teens off networked games after five hours.
There's a global controversy over whether heavy Internet use should be defined as a mental disorder, with some psychologists, including a handful in the United States, arguing that it should be. Backers of the notion say the addiction can be crippling, leading people to neglect work, school and social lives.
and if you remember there have been a few deaths related to "internet abuse", when young boys were found dead on their keyboards, for playing a game for 24 hours straight. Or killed each other for virtual possessions.

Those cases have happened. The 24 hours awake thing seems rare. Killing on the other hand. Look at 15-17 years ago, kids were killing each other over their Reebok Pumps. That's not really a problem that can be attributed to the internet, or the shows in the case I pointed out. It's a problem with society. The thing that intrigues me is yes internet addiction is a real problem, but whet are China's criteria for diagnosing that someone's addicted to the internet? It's probably part of their campaign to restrict the internet IMO. Addiction can be treated but how do you define addiction in terms of hours or usage? I'm willing to bet that most of us on this forum fall under China's criteria for internet addiction

Current mood: rushed
Nothing much has happened today. This morning, David went to the storage depot and spent three hours re-arranging his Mills & Boon collection. He's managed to condense them into one room now though, so at least we're saving a little bit of money that way.
Then my parents went to Kew Archives this afternoon. There was a big kafuffle about whether I was going with them or not, because they decided to go to PC World to look at scanners on the way back, and I've wanted to look at microphones for a long time. This plan was sprung on me at the last moment, and they couldn't be bothered to wait five minutes while I went and combed my hair etc. to make myself look at least half presentable, so they went without me. However, they didn't go to PC World in the end, so now I'm in trouble for "not wanting to sort house moving things out"!
I spent the time while they were out making some random recordings. I was a bit stressed out, and my voice sounds all tense because of that. But I made one recording which I thought was a little better than my usual attempts. (Well, it could hardly be worse!) Anyways, here's the link, if anybody wants a laugh. My voice cracks up a bit towards the end, but I had been singing for about an hour at that point, and worn myself out. Well, that's my excuse at least!
(If anyone wants me to take this down for copyright reasons, just let me know. I just figured that you couldn't hear much of the original song past my awful droning anyway! )
I think that's everything that happened today. I told you it had been a very uneventful day. I'm worrying what's happened to the Collector Pose Italian Bow Tie that I bought from Wish-I-Might. She was shipped almost two weeks ago, and there's no sign of her...
Now I really must go and get my hundreds of websites updated...MLP merchandise, coin operated rides, Facebook, Myspace, Pony Rescue Home forum....why did I start so many different sites anyway?!
Best wishes,

Over the summer, veteran rapper Nas appeared on a panel discussion in California to discuss his appearance on PBS' Finding Your Roots program with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The episode aired last night, and the Queensbridge representative took in the jewels he learned with the Harvard professor.
For the unfamiliar, Dr. Gates takes his guests on a journey to discover their family's past by using the help of archivists combing through older papers and geneticists using DNA science to piece together the ancestral road map. With Nas, Gates goes back five generations into the past to reveal that his third great grandmother was sold as a slave for $830. Gates asks Nas how the discovery that much of his family were kept as slaves in the south, and he expressed anger and amazement at what was revealed to him.
Nas also mentions in his segment that he would consider purchasing the land in the Deep South where his ancestors lived, and there were several light moments of laughter in the clip as well. However, it was obvious that Nas was deeply moved.
Joining Nas on the program were dazzling actress Angela Bassett and senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett.

The sparse press release info that preceded Post Self mentioned that lyrically the work would explore 'anxiety and depression, fear, mortality and paternal and maternal relationships.' Phew, heavy topics, indeed. But Godflesh is heavy music, so there's synergy at play. Despite that, parts of it are really quite accessible; the promised 'Post-Punk' influence is definitely there and is, for me, a welcome addition after the somewhat average A World Lit Only by Fire (2014) album.
In addition, the eloquence of Jesu, one of Justin K Broadrick's other musical vehicles, creeps in occasionally, functioning as a textured boon to the heaviness of pulsating bass, trenchant guitars and distinctive machine percussion.

4 universal slums out of 5Dr Faustushttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509475387895029754.post-3471289504090496652017-12-19T10:12:00.000-08:002017-12-19T10:52:17.703-08:00MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE / Living With Ghosts (2016)

The version of The Black Parade included in the same package as this is no different from its original release.

Feel free to check the link below, if you're curious about that masterstroke.

These rough mixes and live demos very blatantly contain the DNA of numerous songs on Parade and Conventional Weapons. That's appropriate, as they were recorded during the sessions that birthed both of those albums. They're all very sloppy, but that is admittedly part of their charm. I have to wonder if Gerard was intoxicated during some of these takes. It's definitely possible. The best track isolates the most satisfying part of Welcome to the Black Parade; it's as if they chose to crawl inside an orgasm and have a dance party there for four minutes. It consistently defies the lyrical expectations you've unknowingly held for over ten years and I adore every second of it.

I'd say if you're only a Revenge and Parade kind of person, this is an easy pass. If you own and love everything...fire at will.

2 (Really Not So) Sad Motherfuckers out of 5email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509475387895029754.post-60076423130595137672017-12-05T00:01:00.000-08:002017-12-16T04:40:26.608-08:00TOM PETTY / Full Moon Fever (1989)

After seven studio albums with The Heartbreakers, Tom made his first 'solo' album (that some of The Heartbreakers actually play on). It wasn't a big departure from what we were used to; it's largely the production that makes it sound different, a change that was no doubt heavily influenced by Jeff Lynne (of ELO fame, and a fellow Wilbury). Lynne's contribution to production lessened the traditional US Rock vibe of the band line-up and instead accentuated keyboards and sugary-ness. At times it even has a distinctly 1960s British pop influence.
It's a little too polished for my tastes these days, but once upon a time I adored it, granting it semi-permanent residence in my CD player for days at a time. Sadly, I never had it on vinyl; I suspect it would've sounded better on the format.

Years before a media shit-storm (involving a torn photograph) thrust Sinéad into people's homes, her début album, released when she was just twenty-years-old, established her as a formidable force in the minds of people who were there for the music. Right from the get-go it attempts something greater than simple Pop/Rock songs, and, although oft-times hidden in the lyrical composition, a heartfelt honesty is nestled in each and every track. But it's her remarkable voice that gives them real power. Whether being soft and airy or tragic and yearning, it's the element that binds the shifting moods together and prevents them from fighting each other. Some of the music may sound dated today, but the conviction that drives them is something that won't ever be diminished by time.

It's heartbreaking to think that Jackson made just one album, and astonishing to learn that he reportedly recorded the entire thing in less than three hours. It's his masterpiece by default, but fully deserving of the accolade.
His talent is undeniable and every bit the equal of his more well-known folk music peers. His tragic life story (schizophrenia and depression, homeless and destitute, dead at 56 of pneumonia) adds a tearful footnote to the prodigious emotional current that characterises his works. Listening to the soft melancholy that he coaxes from his guitar strings breaks my heart every time, and also, somehow, consoles an unseen part of me that remembers what it was like to be lost.

If I was in need of the post-BMD Katatonia sound but for some reason didn't have any of the better albums to hand, then TFoH would do, but it would be something of a compromise on my part. To be fair, it does deliver the usual mournful, warm, emotional-bandaging that they've perfected, but I often find myself drifting away from its overly-polished charms instead of being carried along with them.
I genuinely like the soft, pastoral moments, but the bulk of the album sometimes feels like it adheres to the established template a little too much. And yet, there are elements within the shifting structures that are wholly unexpected, that exist to break the rules. It's an odd feeling being stirred but still left wanting; it's like eating a heart-shaped cake that sates your taste buds but not your appetite.

This was originally a massive rant. But, that was dumb of me. Green Day make albums. Their (purely musical) Greatest Hits releases are an innately incongruous concept to the type of fan that I am. If you want to hear singles from (almost) across their entire career, by all means. Enjoy them in the way that works for you. I'm not pulling elitist hipster rank by relating the following, I'm simply giving thanks:

I've grown up with Green Day. I cannot imagine my life without them. It doesn't matter that Billie Hey-Ho's so much that I can no longer listen to (or experience) them live, anymore. It doesn't matter that I'll never be able to play like Mike. It does, however, matter that my friends and I are glorious perverts, cut from the same cloth as Mr. Tré Fucking Cool, himself. Whereas most of them prefer one era of their career to the other, I un-conflictingly adore them both. They're the only way I can comfortably engage with politics, because they always focus on the mental and emotional impact they have on those of us simply trying to make it day to day in this entirely fucked world.

I've edited the artwork to make a fully representative piece of visual iconography. And, I'm not even going to be giving a score. If I've learned anything from Green Day, it's that I can and should do whatever I want, while I can.

I suppose this is what unconditional love feels like.

This might be the first time god and I have something in common.

While I don't personally regard every song on Jeff Wayne's début concept album to be perfect, when considered as a whole it's a masterpiece of adaptation, design (inc. artwork) and aural joy that I never tire of experiencing.
Richard Burton narrates the story, based on H. G. Wells' famous 1898 novel, the actor's euphonious baritones perfectly suited to the work. Completing the magic, a string and prog rock accompaniment create a sweeping aura that carries the listener on a stirring, emotional journey. The changes in tone and dramatic intensity move it seamlessly from ominous to propitious, from elation to woe, all the while able to satisfy people in search of storytelling just as much as people in search of music. It's a work of art that's rich in imagery, content and style.

Songs of Note: Forever Autumn; Thunder Child

5 plans against us out of 5Dr Faustushttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509475387895029754.post-62593657654925082452017-06-18T11:17:00.000-07:002017-06-18T11:19:31.151-07:00FASTBALL / Step Into Light (2017)

I suppose the most accurate way to describe this is as a collection of brief, somewhat experimental, aural pastiches. Though, there are some slight, thematic lyrical consistencies present to ever-so-gently reign it in. There are auburn Tom Petty highlights running throughout and touches of Dick Dale. The echoes of early Beatles can be heard, as well as some guitar glint and vocal hum honoring their Rubber Soul/Revolver era.

Regardless of its quality, I absolutely cannot recommend this to a newcomer. If you're well attuned to riding Miles and Tony's pleasingly ever more eclectic groove, however, this is the organically scintillating next step. It feels like they're doing exactly what they want and I couldn't be happier for them.

I'm going to make a list of the most nerdy comparisons to this that I can muster. It's like:

Yuri-IXA and Megumi-IXA side-by-side in King of Hell's Castle

Kamen Rider Cyclone and Joker in Super Climax Heroes

Rodimus and Optimus existing simultaneously. DOUBLE CONVOY~

Human Centipede 3. Alternate Universe Heiter AND Martin

Takeru and Kaoru both…no, still waiting on that one…

It's Chad and Milo together at the same concert, and Milo sings back-up for Chad!!! Don't worry, though, this is two discs and the second is an entire Descendents set. Wikipedia tells me the latter was a different concert. Whatever, man~ Milo even tries his hand at one of Chad's songs, to great effect. I can't hype this enough: Chad sings She's My Ex!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfection.

Most folks will know the majority of this band from their other incarnation: the Descendents. Regardless of who's in the driver's seat, Bill Stevenson is omnipresent musically and with his incredibly poignant and pointed lyrics. My favorite era of ALL is without question Chad Price's. He's a quintessential vocalist and his songs are some of the most eloquent and moving I've ever heard. The one below may possibly be my favorite of all time.

This ping-pongs between hyper-brief blasts and more melodic romps. The band's strength (both as ALL and the Descendents) is that the former aren't always silly and instead often use their abbreviated run times to address things undeniably worth pondering. They've always been both thoughtful and heartfelt and if you aren't familiar with both incarnations, you're doing yourself a disservice.

There's nothing overtly wrong with Green, it's just that it's very generic. It's entirely encircled by monumental albums, which absolutely doesn't help its case. Thankfully, nothing here is remotely as artificial as Beverly Hills. You won't suffer by throwing this on, on a lazy afternoon half hour while you're doing something else that actually requires your attention. But, should you really? No. Hash Pipe exists as a prototype or prequel to Dope Nose, which is neat. Around the time that this was being promoted Scott Shriner joined the band and I just love that guy 😄

Songs of Note: No, not really, unfortunately.

We're starting with this one? Yes. Yes, we fucking are. I hate Beverly Hills. It's single-bait gimmickry and it can G.T.F.O. Cut it off the same as Jonathan Davis's song on the Downpour soundtrack. The resultant album is as perfect as anything that's not Pinkerton (or Maladroit) can be. In some ways, it seems like Rivers was trying to take a basic approach like he did with Green, but accidentally fell into startlingly stirring sincerity without any undue effort. I'd personally argue that some pieces here rival Pinkerton's unabashed starkness.

"I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital: one foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door,

sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills, I could write it better than you ever felt it."

That's a definite contender for my favorite verse of all time. It's not alone, here. Some of Pete's strongest couplets call this offering home. I'm even going to spot it the two bonus tracks, because I love them both. While I have to admit that there is a sloggy, schmaltzy number to contend with, this is a generally punchy and pleasing affair. If F.U.C.T. is the blue-collar workhorse, Infinity is the swaggering, faux-tipsy jaunt through No-Man's Land in deliberately rumpled tuxes.

I'm compelled to say that I sincerely wish Pete would scream longer parts more often. Don't look at me like that. You know I adore MCR.

I'd have to say that this is almost assuredly the only album capable of finding me singing along even when I'm not intoxicated. That's a feat and a half. It's melodic and eviscerating. Elvis Costello, as always, is very proud. You thought his presence on Folie à Deux was random? Heh~ I would say it's an early classic of the genre but that'd open a can of worms I couldn't give less of a fuck about. It's goddamn good. End of story.

I remember loving this. At the time, it was the Fall Out Boy album that Fall Out Boy didn't make. Now I find it...wait for it... annoyingly inconsistent. More inconsistent than FOB themselves. I see you there waiting to say that that's fitting. I. SEE. YOU. They're capable of staying above 50%. I'd now argue that Brendon manages the upper teens, AT BEST.

I wonder how many people even know that this exists? As soon as I was on board with All The Pain Money Can Buy, I immediately tracked this down and was blown away by how incredibly different it is from everything else they've done. The majority of what's on display is very fast and somewhat abrasive. That's not to say that the lyrics are lacking. They aren't. They're just carried along by much faster time signatures.

This consequently holds a teenage sense of nostalgia for me that's still able to be married to my long-held standards in regards to songwriting. I've always not-so-secretly hoped that they'd do something like this again, someday. A VERY special record well worth exploring if the songs of note appeal.

For a long time now, I've viewed this as their least successful outing. Depending on how you see things, this could be considered strange or even ironic, as it kicks off with the one song for which everyone in the world knows them. To anyone who bought this and never listened to what followed, FUCKING. SHAME. ON. YOU. There are a lot of quality tracks here and with every listen (to each of their efforts) I appreciate Miles more and more.

When properly conceptualized, their collective output is honestly far better than any single objective score of any given album could ever convey. They are unassuming geniuses.

It's funny how the most significant and lingering concepts in Kurzweil's carefully-penned hybrid history/textbook/novel sprang from the tiny, off-hand responses of his fictional conversation partner, Molly. The consequences of both his predicted change in the nature of humanity, and the philosophical musings given rise in those conversations are rather ethereally expanded upon here, sonically and lyrically. Raine makes the endeavor more palatable, but honestly no less haunting, when all is said and done. The requisite shadowed side of the coin was ironically delivered by the person I'd least expect.

That's probably why I love it so much.

Assuming you were born prior to 2002, you've heard Somewhere Out There. You have. And, to be honest, if you liked it (before it was played into the ground, of course), then this is a really good place to start with Our Lady Peace. It's not as lyrically intricate as the albums that preceded it, but it is equally capable of being intensely emotionally resonant. There are some absolutely stellar songs about facing and attempting to overcome our innate fragility as human beings with the help of others. Raine is everything Bono thinks he is, but decidedly IS NOT.

You are not alone. Relinquish your pain unto him.

If you've heard Superman's Dead, you may hate Raine Maida's voice. If you're not a native Canadian, it's very possible that you've only ever heard Somewhere Out There. Either way, I pity you. While Raine's lyrics ultimately became more accessible, they're still deliciously obtuse here and remained so for some time to come. Don't bother with OLP if you're looking for an easy listen, on any level. If you step onto this carousel, you'd better be ready to both ferret out and self-interpret the meaning buried herein. Raine's voice is titillating (especially on Car Crash) and his cryptic missives mingle with the boys' chunky riff-rock to deliver some of my favorite songs of all time. The simultaneously spine-chilling and eye-moistening variety.

In 1989 Danny Elfman was primarily known as that guy from Oingo Boingo who's composed a small handful of scores for a few quirky comedies. Naturally no one thought he was right for the big blockbuster Batman film but thankfully director Tim Burton was the only one who rightfully had faith in the composer.
Elfman's sprawling Gothic theme of grandeur helped bring a certain level of cheeky sophistication to the film and entirely redefined the cinematic Batman figure as suitably dangerous. The score isn't afraid to engulf itself into the darkness but not once does it lose the sense of fun and wide-eyed excitement. It's big, bold and brassy with flavors of tragic heroism, the lonely romantic and the criminally insane. A definitive Elfman score that no fan of the composer, Batman or scores in general should be without.

It should be noted that this particular album has seen 4 separate releases but La-La Land Records' 2010 double-disc release is definitely the most comprehensive collection to date. email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509475387895029754.post-21719508108719341402016-11-18T16:13:00.003-08:002016-11-18T17:25:12.006-08:00RADICAL FACE / The Family Tree: The Bastards [2015]

Before the release of each installment of his Family Tree trilogy, Radical Face put out a free EP of songs that didn't quite fit with the rest of their respective albums.
The suitably titled The Bastards is a complete collection of all 11 songs in a tidy little package that is just as quality a listen as each of the trilogy albums are. These aren't throwaway songs by any means and in fact some songs are stronger than the albums they were originally meant for, they just didn't mesh with the pacing or tonal textures of their immediate family. They are the mismatched black sheep if you will. Twisted and quirky but still pack in enough heart to break and mend it with warm caring tired hands.

Based upon Raymond Briggs' graphic novel, director Jimmy Murakami (who also faithfully adapted Briggs' The Snowman) was lucky to hire ex-Pink Floyd member Roger Waters to score When the Wind Blows.
David Bowie's title track is another highlight of the soundtrack album. However the four remaining songs leave much to be desired if you haven't already fallen asleep. Waters' contributions sound like a prelude to his Radio K.A.O.S. 1987 solo album and that's all right because they're simply pleasant pieces in bits or as a whole track. It's not a must-have album but certainly a quaint little record to revisit every once in a blue moon.

Joe Volk's first album since leaving Crippled Black Phoenix, 2016's Happenings and Killings, is a familiar yet subtle departure from his previous works.
With production help from Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury it means careful attention was paid to the gentle yet complex production and rewards with each subsequent listen. Volk channels a low-key acoustic tone that is subtly complimented with soft electronics and the occasional string textures. There's slight echoes of Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys and Radiohead but never enough to mistake it for anybody else other than Volk. His prog-rock influences are still evident but it focuses more on being a haunting singer/songwriter project that raises the bar with opening track and only gets better and better with each track.

Apple held an Educational event today to debut their new iPad and educational software for iOS. The new iPads are still expensive though and for higher grades you would need a physical keyboard, this is an extra cost. The iPad is probably more expensive than the average Chromebook. The Chromebooks with working hinges and batteries that do not require you to be plugged in constantly are probably equal or higher cost.
Is there enough Value in quality of software and usage to justify the higher cost? There are supposedly over 200,000 educations apps currently in the Apps Store. How good these are I have no clue. This is also a bit of wait and see what comes this summer and coming year. They seemingly want to develop new curriculum.
Lastly is there enough value to the school administrators for the managment of devices and costs to deploy and maintain software licences for school lessons? I suspect this is where Apple can make a difference. The cost of lesson plans and text books should not be overlooked. Will Apple take the time and effort to improve the educational material platform? I hope so. Apple hase been able to improve distribution for Music, Movies, and Apps better than others so maybe Education is next.
I do think there is a company that can disrupt Education if they want. Amazon.

Editorial- UAP/VP Candidates Disappointing
The Undergraduate Association elections taking place this week are one of the few chances the student body has to make a difference in student government. However, the candidates this year for UA president and vice president show a uniform lack of promise in the face of an apathetic constituency.
In a year of budget cuts and core curriculum changes, it is especially important that our top student representatives have a positive track record of leadership within student activities, an understanding of how the UA operates, specific solutions to current issues, and the means with which to effect such changes.
On the issue of communication, one candidate team, Colin M. Page '95 and Michael R. Evans '95, calls for an end to closed meetings and an Athena-based "Dash" bar option for students to access information about the UA. The other team of Vijay R. Sankaran '95 and Carrie R. Muh '96 propose an electronic mail address for sending complaints, a virtually identical solution that will be equally ineffective.
Neither solution actively solicits students' opinions - instead, each waits for students to approach the UA. More direct and active interaction, including but not limited to visiting dormitory meetings or study breaks, would be more useful and productive for students and for the UA.
Past leadership is an important issue when choosing the presiding UA officers. As head of the UA Safety Committee, Page was suspended and censured for failing to attend two consecutive UA Executive Committee meetings, as he was asked and required to do. And as vice president of the class of 1995, Evans has little to show for his year in office. In fact, at the last UA Council meeting, a motion was made to impeach the class of 1995 officers.
Sankaran, the current UA floor leader, has demonstrated a similar lack of effective leadership by failing to produce quorum at several council meetings. Muh is the exception to the group of candidates - she is relatively new to the UA and does not have a tarnished record.
Both teams acknowledge problems related to the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, undergraduate housing, food services, harassment, and campus safety. However, neither team suggests concrete - or original - solutions.
For instance, the Sankaran/Muh platform calls for a "directed letter writing campaign" regarding UROP and a grocery shuttle - projects already addressed by the current UA and Graduate Student Council administrations. While it is important to continue current projects, it is also important for officers and candidates to formulate and work to implement original ideas.
Page and Evans similarly pushed the important policy button of harassment without offering any practical resolutions to this problem. They did nothing more than say that a forum on harassment should be held by the UA and that a "more centralized system" was needed for the MIT community, providing no further details on how they would deal with the issue at large.
While The Tech does not endorse a candidate pair for UAP/VP, it encourages students to vote for whomever they feel is best qualified, not only for the higher offices, but for other important UA positions.

Transparency and attractiveness are the two main reasons why glass are installed on the buildings and cars, and they do it perfectly. It would be wise to have these glass when you need them and get the best quality so that you can meet your desires efficiently, but you should know that this is not simple and so you have to search diligently. These glass companies are many in the market and therefore you should not worry as there are many options in the market to choose from. However, the fact that the glass companies are many does not mean you will find the one you need immediately, and so you have to be more careful. Here are the various aspects of having in mind before choosing the perfect glass firm to bring on board to get your affairs streamlined.
Getting a firm that is rendering these glass services on the homes, businesses and vehicles is not simple, and so if you are lucky to find the one that is experienced, you should hold onto it. When you live in a home, or work in a business that is serviced by a qualified firm, you will relish the use of the property. The company has already installed these glass on buildings and automotive, and so when you hire it, you will enjoy the best services because even the challenges to be encountered will be solved accordingly. The firms might be a bit costly, and therefore it is upon you to determine if they are worth the investment, concerning experience.
Secondly, as you traverse the market in the search for the glass company that has been recognized and given the go-ahead to offer the glass services like the All Glass. You can only establish the legitimacy of the glass company by knowing if it possesses the necessary documents from a renowned government organization. You should take some time in the market to assess the license because it is the ultimate proof of legitimacy.
You should not select a glass agency that minds about the possible risks that might occur on the individuals summoned to do the job, and therefore they should have some cover. As the owner of the project, you should also have a general insurance policy that caters to all the activities taking place.
You should look for the glass agency that has a good reputation in the market. A highly reputable firm is the right one because it will ensure that you enjoy the right services since it has been accepted by the public and so you should follow suit.

The strength and endurance of the Mexican peon is almost beyond belief (see page 500). TOPOGRAPHY OF MEXICO The mountain ranges of southwestern United States continue into Mexico, and that country may be described as a high plateau, inclosed east and west by cor dilleras, which approximately parallel the sea-coasts, from which they are separated by relatively narrow littorals. The country is divided hypsometric ally into the "tierra caliente," "tierra templada," and "tierra fria," the first comprising hot lands bordering the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the Pacific Ocean; the second forming the main plateau, bounded by the Sierras, whose more elevated portions are the third division. It is these mountain ranges, or offshoots of rugged topogra phy from them, with intervening desert stretches, that have made communication difficult between portions of the Repub- lic and interfered with railroad construc tion to cross the country transversely. Among the mountains of Mexico are numerous volcanoes, all extinct or dor mant except Colima, near the Pacific coast, which is active. In the central and southern part of the country earthquakes are of sufficient frequency to encourage the maintenance of an elaborate govern ment seismographic laboratory. The Sierras approach each other near the City of Mexico, and the adjacent States, although largely mountainous, maintain a population whose density is greater than in other portions of the Republic. These mountains continue eastward, with Popocatepetl, Ixtaccihuatl, Orizaba, and Perote as prominent features, but are so reduced in height at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec that the railroad connects the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mex- 480

Le Bataclan Theater to Reopen After Paris Terror Attacks
The Parisian music theater involved in the terror attacks in Paris that left 89 people dead and more than 100 wounded is set to reopen, USA Today reports.
Related: Everything We know About the Deadly Attacks in Paris
Le Bataclan's co-manager, Dominique Revert, promised that the venue will once again open its doors despite the memory of the horrific attacks on Friday.
"It will reopen. No question about it." Revert said in an interview with Billboard. "Hearts will be heavy for a few months, a few years. But we will reopen. We will not surrender."
Bataclan theatre opened in 1841 and has served host to thousands of notable guests, including Prince, Kanye West, Oasis, 30 Seconds to Mars, Sam Smith, The Roots, Ellie Goulding, French rap duo Orelsan and Gringe and David Guetta.
Following the attacks, Guetta expressed his shock and awe for the venue on Facebook, Billboard reports.
"The Bataclan has always been a place of music, sharing and joy," Guetta said. "I never would have imagined that it would become the place of such tradegy."
Related: Paris Attacks Ignite Islamophobic Conversations Online
Although Friday's attacks were indeed tragic, this is not the first time that Le Bataclan has been subject to threats of violence. According to Billboard, in 2011 it was reported that one of Syria's largest rebel groups, Jaish-al Islam, had been planning to attack the theater because of the owners' perceived support of Israel.
The news of the theater's plans to reopen comes just a day after the band playing at Le Bataclan during the night of the attacks, Eagles of Death Metal, released their statement expressing their grief and solidarity for the victims of that night.
"Although bonded in grief with the victims, the fans, the families, the citizens of Paris and all those affected by terrorism, we are proud to stand together, with our new family, now united by a common goal of love and compassion."

Michelangelo, St. Anthony, and rye mold
I corrected the Wampus cat post by taking out a stray phrase I forgot to edit out.
Recently , the Kimbell Museum in Dallas acquired a painting , "The Torment of St. Anthony " , which may have been painted by Michelangelo at the age of 12 or 13, when he was a student of Domenico Ghirlandiao's studio in 1477 and 1478.Although the painting is clearly from Ghirlandiao's studio, there is a great deal of scholarly dispute as to whether or not the painting is Michelangelo's. it's based on a lithograph by Martin Schongauer. The painting is not an exact copy of the lithograph, it's larger, and has added features, such as fish scales.
The Schongauer lithograph
The painting is reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch. Here's Bosch's St. Anthony triptych. (Sorry for the really long URL here).
St. Anthony was a third century Christian ascetic and monastic who spent his adult life in the Egyptian desert, largely in solitude. His time there included living in a tomb and twenty years living in solitude in a small cell in a fort. Food was slipped into the cell through a small crevice. No one was allowed to actually enter the cell where he lived. He had visions of being attacked by wild animals and scorpions, but overcame them. He is credited with a number of miraculous healings of those suffering from ergotism, which became known as St. Anthony's Fire. This is represented in the Bosch triptych shown above. The symptoms included hallucinations , severe pain and gangrene. Amputation was usually required.The disease was caused by ergot, a fungus found in moldy rye flour.
Here's a 1946 painting of Salvador Dali's "Temptation of St. Anthony".

Saints are so interesting, have you ever looked up pictures of the incorrupts? I may have spelled that wrong, but like saints whos bodies don't decay after death. St.Bernadette of Lourdes is by far the coolest.
Hope you're having a good day! I like your blog :)
Thanks Cyndy and Raigan! - I will check out pictures of the incorrupts.ReplyDelete
