"No, I didn't think they would be my fan base. But I guess, like, when I think about it, do you wanna just see a million dudes when you go on stage?"
I imagine a sea of a million dudes, and quickly, I have to say no, I would not. Besides, he's proud of the thousands of girls who drown out the sea of dudes that flood most rap shows. And why shouldn't he be?
G-Eazy, real name Gerald Earl Gillum, is the 26-year-old rapper who sold out every city on his current international tour. His sophomore album that the tour revolves around, When It's Dark Out, sold well, too, coming in at number five on the Billboard 200, just one spot lower than his first full-length album, These Things Happen. Forbes lists him as a hip-hop cash prince. One of his singles, "Me, Myself, and I," has over 120 million plays on Spotify.
Presumably, a lot of those Spotify plays were from young fans. Depending on how you look at it, this might be his biggest hurdle: millennials his own age and generations older than him — and especially the guys — might call him wack.
To criticism like this, G-Eazy shrugs. "It's not for everybody and I fully understand that. You'd die very sad if you tried to make everyone in the world happy, you know what I mean? You can't, no one can. Some people will like it. Some people will hate it. Some people are indifferent. And you have to live with that as an artist. You wanna be appreciated, you wanna be liked, but you know," he tosses his hands up, "it's just not realistic for everyone."
Realistically speaking, his ability to pack rooms with young women was kind of inevitable: he's 6'5", he's Bay Area California cool, and he's usually wearing a leather jacket. His appearance reads like the description of a bad-boy character from Pretty Little Liars.
But he asserts that there's more to him than meets the eye. "I think my music is so personal that it lets people in," he says. "And they identify with me more because of that, you know, so it's like my story, it's who I am as a person," he asserts, leaning back into the couch. "It's everything."
This, I could see. On the way through to backstage, his publicist and I pass droves of teenagers, crowded around a stage for the opener, A$AP Ferg. But their allegiance is clear. Guys with G-Eazy-style slicked-back haircuts sport G-Eazy t-shirts, and girls in black crop tops outnumber the dudes crowding the stage. There are Kehlani flannels and Pia Mia bandanas; there are six-inch chunky heels and flat combat boots and black leather jackets. There are scowls and cocky smiles. The girls didn't just want to get close to him. They wanted to be him.
I could hear the fans' interest in his "everything," too. Later that night, I watch him bring out DJ Mustard, Diddy, A$AP Ferg, Wiz Khalifa, French Montana, and YG. Fans sing along as he raps about taking any girl in the audience he wanted, including their girlfriends. In spite of this, though, he is at his best when he gets personal.
His complicated past with his mom is the subject of the song "Everything Will Be OK," a heartfelt ballad with a Kehlani chorus. It recapitulates the tale of his childhood: his mom leaving their father and supporting their family alone, her eventual romantic relationship with a woman, and that woman's untimely suicide. During the show, the hype crowd sways silently to the story, putting their lighters and cell phone screens in the air.
Backstage, though, he talks about it with no dramatics. "Me personally, I'm real close to my mom. She raised me. It was a single-parent home situation. She did everything: cooked, worked two jobs, came home late, but she loved me to death," he says, half-smiling. "And always supported me in anything creative that I wanted to pursue. We clashed a lot. In retrospect, I appreciate her to the moon."
I ask what he'd tell a young girl who wasn't getting along with her mom. He laughs a little, but his response is instant: "Respect your mom. Give her a hug and tell her you love her every day before you leave the house."
It sounds like a cliché, but it's true to his life. Earlier in the night, I met a woman in line for the VIP. Neither of us could get inside. There was an issue with security. She wore sunglasses and beat-up denim, a huge smile on her face as if the security guys were her family. I assumed she was a big deal, maybe another artist here to see what all the hype is about.
"She's a total rock star," his publicist says to me as she gets inside.
"Who is she?" I wonder out loud.
"Oh!" he exclaims, "That's Gerald's mom!"
Before I end the interview, I think about that moment, hearing the name 'Gerald' out loud, and of him raising his voice to yell at himself on one of his latest singles, "Sad Boy": "Gerald, what you so sad for? / Why the hell you got the blues? / Everybody wanna be in your shoes." But what about the 'Sad Boy' as a teen: if he told his teenage self about his 26-year-old success, would he believe it?
"There's a weird duality to that, like, because I've always been so serious about music and dreaming big," he says. "And wanting to achieve all of this, but at the same time…you can want and aim for it, but nothing just happens. It's one in a million. I'd be both surprised out of my mind and like, somehow, I think I knew it would happen."

Julianne Moore cast in The Hunger Games Mockingjay. The casting of Julianne Moore in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014) and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015) answers the question of who would play Alma Coin in the Francis Lawrence directed films. Coin plays key role in the Mockingjay narrative but saying anymore than that would get into spoiler territory.
On Alma Coin from the book (Mockingjay) the films will be based on (spoilers):
President Coin is described as being about 50 years old. She has grey hair that falls in an unbroken sheet to her shoulders, her eyes were a pale grey, described by Katniss as being like "slush that you wish would melt away". Coin was described as plain, with eyes that could burn straight through you.
Coin was presumably raised, and served as the leader of District 13 and the rebellion. Due to Katniss Everdeen's unique position as a symbol of rebellion to the districts, Coin had Katniss, along with Finnick Odair and Beetee rescued from the arena following the 75th Hunger Games, after Katniss destroyed the sheild surrounding it. This action effectively prompted The Capitol to bomb District 12. However, she was not able to rescue Peeta Mellark, or Johanna Mason. With Katniss safe in District 13, Coin was forced to cooperate as she recovered from her physical and mental traumas, although she was rather impatient. Like the other rebels, Coin needed Katniss to don the label of Mockingjay, and help fuel the Districts into rebellion.
Though she and Katniss were on the same side, Katniss strongly disliked President Coin because of her ruthlessness and hunger for power and absolute control. Despite her affiliation with the rebellion, she seemed even more ruthless than President Snow, since Katniss believed his explanations, but not Coin's. Coin was willing to let Katniss die once she had fulfilled her duties as the Mockingjay, since she saw the girl as a possible threat to her power. Katniss believed her death would incite the rebel force to further Coin's victory. Coin's lust for power was such that she killed Capitol children and her own Medical Corps—with Primrose Everdeen amongst their ranks — to undermine Snow.
She was also very manipulative. According to President Snow, Coin's plan all along was to let the Capitol and the other districts destroy one another, and then step in to take power with District 13 intact.
During the execution of President Snow, Katniss remembered the conversation she had with Snow and realized President Coin was behind Prim's death. So instead of shooting Snow, she turned her single arrow from Snow to President Coin and shot Coin instead (partly to avenge Prim's death). President Coin fell off the balcony as the people looked on in fear and horror. It is possible that she didn't die from the arrow but from the fall itself. This resulted in Katniss being taken away and declared mentally unstable.
On The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 from the book they are based on (spoilers):
Mockingjay centers around the districts' uprising against the Capitol. Katniss, now a refugee in District 13, agrees to be used by the rebels as a propaganda tool (the embodiment of the mockingjay symbol, complete with costume) to unite the rebelling districts. Peeta is soon rescued, along with the other tributes captured by the Capitol, but he has been brainwashed to regard Katniss as an enemy, and is carefully guarded as his rehabilitation progresses. Finally, a group including Katniss, Gale, and a still somewhat unstable Peeta go renegade in the Capitol on a mission to assassinate President Snow. Before they can achieve the objective, Prim is killed in a bombing. Later, a captive Snow tells Katniss that Coin, the president of District 13, was behind the bombing, and she deduces that Gale was one of the designers of the bomb. After Panem falls to the rebels, Coin suggests a final Hunger Games featuring the children of the Capitol's former leaders as tributes, leading Katniss to believe that nothing will change under a new regime. At Snow's scheduled execution by Katniss' arrow, Katniss targets and kills Coin instead, and Snow dies in an ensuing riot. Katniss is tried and acquitted of killing Coin. Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch eventually return to a ruined District 12. Katniss slowly begins to recover from her many mental scars. Katniss' mother and Gale both take jobs in different districts. Katniss and Peeta eventually marry, having two children together.

The New Republic-
At the Netroots Nation convention on Friday, Senator Elizabeth Warren delivered a direct challenge to Hillary Clinton and all Democratic presidential campaigns to support legislation that would end the "revolving door" between top government positions and corporate America.
"Anyone who wants to be president should appoint only people who have already demonstrated they are independent," Warren said to the progressive convention-goers, "who have already demonstrated that they can hold giant banks accountable, who have already demonstrated that they embrace the kind of ambitious economic policies that we need to rebuild opportunity and a strong middle class in this country."
This is the first time Warren has decided to engage in the presidential election, which activists tried for months to get her to enter. Instead of asking candidates to endorse one of her particular policies on bank reform or student loans, Warren is focusing on the personnel who will implement those policies. It's a notable choice that dovetails with Warren's interest in ensuring that executive branch appointments will not tip the scales in favor of Wall Street or private industry, seen most directly in the fight to block Antonio Weiss from the No. 3 position in the Treasury Department. Warren raised the profile of Weiss, a longtime bank executive, enough for the administration to revoke his nomination.

More Coming Soon!
He races through the door to begin the lessons
From the get-go Deanna's been a great piano teacher to our 5 year old and each week he races through the door to begin the lessons. It's only been a few months but we can sense his growing understanding of how the piano works. Anyone who helps my kid (or anyone's kid) learn to play and love music gets 5 stars.
Terrific job connecting with my son
My 10 year old son started taking piano lessons with Deanna Maio at Confident Voice Studio a couple of months ago, and she has done a terrific job connecting with him and helping him advance his piano practice. We highly recommend Deanna!
Deanna's a Confidence Booster
Before studying with Deanna… I was less confident overall in my singing, my voice cracked in a lot of places and my range was a bit narrower. The most difficult part about that was singing in front of others and not being quite sure what notes were going to come out of my mouth.
The thing about Deanna is that she is very welcoming, supportive and makes you feel comfortable. My biggest insight learned during our lessons was that it is possible to get my voice to be more predictable, the importance of proper breathing and that it really is helpful to record and listen to your own voice. And this was valuable because it's a confidence booster especially during performances.
I gained confidence, comfort and knowledge about singing. I'd recommend Deanna to singers that want to stretch the current limits of their voice and feel more confident singing. Thanks so much for this great experience!
Kathy James, Private Music Teacher, Portland Oregon
During our work together I gained ideas and materials, answers to the questions that I've had, validation of some of my own good ideas, and confidence. This was valuable because I wasted no time in adding material to my lessons. I am able to provide more variety and have more confidence that what I have to offer will keep them engaged and moving in a good direction.
I love seeing how happy he is after every class with you!
Carlee T.
10 out of 10. Carlee loves you and has grown so much as a person and as a performer.
Sheena T.
I pushed past the previous limitations that I set for myself
Before I started working with Deanna I was light in presence. I didn't have a booming voice, and though I may still not- I felt Deanna's direction allowed me to push past the previous limitations that I set for myself.
The most difficult part about that was I hadn't much experience singing for long periods as I later would with Deanna. I was very rough with my approach to singing- never warming up, and not aware of the harm straining can do.
If I had continued down the path I was on I probably would have damaged my voice. I had always heard of the precautions singers took, but I tended to dismiss them as obsessive or myth.
The thing about Deanna is that her approach to instruction allows a newcomer to feel welcomed and at ease when learning new techniques and being exposed to a whole new array of material, such as music. I was very new to music theory- but quickly picked it up through her teaching, and never feared asking questions.
I'd describe Deanna as considerate, patient, and observant.
I have gained knowledge in reading music and having an even greater stage presence. I loved working with Deanna and the cast, and will always use the experience as a reference for future experiences.
I'd recommend Deanna to other vocalists who want to use their voice as an ultimate instrument in their performances.
Everything I could have hoped for in vocal training.
We Love Her!
My 4-year-old son has been taking lessons with Deanna for the past 6 months. I am a preschool teacher. I was immediately impressed by how Deanna was able to connect with my child and work with him with such calmness and ease.
My son tried many different classes and has had many different instructors. Deanna has by far been his favorite instructor and he is always excited and ready for class.
The program she uses is wonderful, it introduces children to sequencing and patterns, fine motor skills and development and so much more. I highly highly recommend classes with Deanna. We love her!
She helped me find my true voice
Before I worked with Deanna my singing voice did not feel natural. She has helped me find my true voice.
Deanna is that she is keenly focused on your particular needs as a singer, and is able to assist you in reaching your particular goals.
Working with Deanna, I gained confidence, strength of voice, as well as greater range.
At back to school night last week, she said she wants to be a piano player when she grows up.
Could not recommend her highly enough!
Deanna is FANTASTIC! We honestly went to another piano teacher with our son previously and he was not engaged. She is patient, energetic and consistent – he is SO excited every time it is lesson day. Could not recommend her highly enough!
Engaging, Kind, Understanding, and Informative

Author has written 8 stories for Harry Potter, and Once Upon a Time.
To my loyal readers:
A briefing on what's been going on since I last updated my HP WIP, which I know has been way too long ago.
2007 - Accepted to graduate school.
2008 - Managed to update WIP only once (so sorry!).
2008 - Started looking for employment related to degree. No luck.
2008 - Went gluten free through medical necessity.
2009 - Met the woman I would later marry.
2009 - Graduated with an MBA in Economic Crime & Fraud Management; still no luck with employment.
2009 - Got a job ... in retail as a cashier. Later I would move to balancing tills, doing the deposit, etc. But still not related to my degree. This is what I am still doing, but now with hours so small as to not even be truly considered part time. Last I checked, my income put me at around 130% below Federal Poverty guidelines. This causes me a lot of stress.
2009 - Started my blog, Gluten Free & Tasty.
2009 - Moved 2 hours south to live with my girlfriend. Took a job in retail because I couldn't find a job related to my MBA.
2010 - 2012 - Worked on publishing an original book (poetry and art), Echoes.
2012 - Published!
2012 - Started backing up all my old files, as well as hunting down my notes on my WIP.
2013 - Got married in New York state! (Sadly, marriage still not legal in home state of Virginia.)
2013 - External HD with all my writing, fan fiction and original, crashed. (As of spring 2014, am still saving up for a new HD so I can see if any data can be sucked off of the crashed one.)
2014 - Took on a big (but great) position for the organization I volunteer for.
2014 - Our marriage became legal in Virginia!
2015 - My dear friend and fellow author, known here as Ms-Figg, passed away unexpectedly. If you're on Facebook, you are welcome to join the group I created to honor and remember her, Remembering Ruth.
2016 - February - wrote my first fan fic in 9 years! Once Upon a Time fandom. It just came to me! This gives me the first real hope I've had in years that I can get my head back into my HP stories and complete them. *crosses fingers*
2016 - Summer - Some hearing loss confirmed during struggle to discover if I have Meniere's Disease. Final tests costs too much (more than I made last year) so I have to settle for "probably Meniere's" but not knowing for certain.
2016 - September - leaving stressful retail job I took in 2009. Hoping the lack of stress will return my sorely missed muse.
2016 - October - newer desktop crashed. Backed up everything, I think, but in such a rush, it wasn't an organized backup.
2016 - December - got my author and fan fic email accounts set back up. Trying to reply to all of my reviews. My apologies for the delay. Having various trouble with the laptop I have on loan.
2017 - February/March - Laptop overheated. Finally runs again on cooling board. Feel like I have a computer curse hanging over me! :-)
2017 - April - Trying to catch up with about 2 years of new stories/chapter updates. Will review as many chapters as I can as I read along! (Many times I'm reading on my iPad, where it's really hard to leave reviews. So while I can get on here on my laptop, I'm going to read/review as much as I can. Following so many good stories, and you all deserve the reviews you get. And I'm so glad to be able to leave them again!)
2017 - April - Updated my FF profile image.
2017 - August - Wife has 32lb tumor 8lbs of fluid removed via life saving ex-lap procedure.
2017 - September - Wife diagnosed with aggressive, treatment-resistant cancer called leiomyosarcoma; specifically uterine myxoid leiomyosarcoma.
2017 - October - early December - Aggressive chemo regimen of gem/tax which ultimately doesn't work. Tumor regrows to half of original size by December 5.
2017 - December - Waiting to hear what next move will be. Wife is hoping for surgery first, chemo second.
What does that mean for you, my dear readers?
In 2012, I received a request from a reader to take over my second "Take 2" story. But it turned out he wanted to completely ignore my second story, change the first one and go from there. I told him, "No thanks!" People like what I have so far, so I am not okay with this idea! Plus, I had never considered my stories abandoned, so therefore, they didn't need to be adopted.
If I got one offer though, surely, eventually, I would get more. Or, like some authors readers deem abandoned, I would get plagiarized and my story would be continued without my knowledge or consent.
Several months ago, I downloaded HPCOS Take 2 into a Word file, and have been editing it. I'm nearly positive a copy of that file was on my laptop when my external HD crashed, so there is hope that I don't have to start completely from scratch.
If I make any changes on this site, it will be to fix minor errors. I don't want to remove/combine entire chapters here and risk losing all the wonderful reviews I've collected on these stories over the last eight years.
To try to prevent you all from then waiting ages between that and another chapter, however, I am not going to post it until I have made sufficient headway into another chapter, or perhaps complete it (COS2) altogether, and then upload it, perhaps a chapter a week.
It was requested, long ago, that I do the entire 7 books for my Take 2 series. At the time, I agreed, but I can no longer guarantee the possibility of that. Although I still love HP, and still read fan fics for it, it's not my top fandom these days.
Now I'm heavily into Once Upon a Time, Bones, The Fosters, and Switched at Birth. And working on my original stories, of course.
But I hate coming across unfinished stories when I'm the reader, so I am determined to provide an ending to my WIP, someway, somehow. (And hopefully one that doesn't suck. ;-) ) Thanks for sticking with me.
Onto the profile . . .
I have my undergraduate degree in Journalism, History, and Russian, and a graduate degree in Economic Crime & Fraud Management.
I live in VERY southwest Virginia (not far from Tennessee), but my heart is northern and I hope to 'escape' out of the south one of these days, preferably to New York state since I have so much family there, and my wife is from NY state.
But, who knows? No timeline on when (or if) we would move at this point. My wife and I are definitely staying here until we get the majority of our bills paid off and have money saved. If Virginia ever legalizes marriage (it's in the works now, at least), or if the US Supreme Court ever gets a case that forces the issue for the country, and our marriage is legal anywhere, maybe we'll stay in Virginia (although hopefully somewhere that gets less tornadoes!).
I send my thanks to my wonderful beta-reader and dear RL-friend, Slave4Severus. My own beta-experience stems from the Journalism portion of my undergraduate degree, as well as having tutored English & Journalism. I do not have time to take on new beta projects right now, however.
I am technically, a moderator on the LiveJournal community Stop Plagiarism, which deals with plagiarism in Fandoms. (Although I am currently, probably permanently, out of rotation on cases there, due to so many things going on in my life.)
On May 7, 2012, my first original book became available for sale, exclusively through The Book Patch. If you purchase a copy, I would absolutely love to hear from you about it, especially if you would be willing to write a review that I could place on my official author site. :) If you're interested, send me a PM so I can tell you the title and my author name.
NOTE Due to an incredibly rude wholly inappropriate review I received, I would just like to point out that if there is ever any sexual activity in my stories, the people involved ARE OF AGE. If I ever have a story that calls for otherwise, there will be hefty warnings available.
I do write slash here and there. Not all the time, but it is in some stories. If you do not like, do not read it. Please refrain from "reviews" telling me how sick you are going to be. Frankly, I am sick of reading about it, especially after I warned you.
"Duck Duck Goose" and "Our First Christmas" have slash, the latter story being very, very mild since it is a drabble, and is more just of a quick passing glance. "Duck" has intimate activity of both the slash/non-slash variety. I do not write in heavy, descriptive detail (regardless of the pairing).
Should any story turn into, or just have a chapter that would be relative to a "death fic," I would provide appropriate warning.
Constructive comments are one thing; nasty reviews are something else. If I write something that does not seem believable for any reason (ex: you have been in a similar situation), please review and let me know. Please include your reasoning though so I will understand why something is not working for you.
On the other side, if you receive a review from me that you perceive to be nasty, please reply and ask me to clarify instead of lambasting publicly me on your next chapter.
I do not have the time, or the desire, or the energy to flame anyone. If I really do not like your story, I am simply going to stop reading it, not send nasty notes about it.
Also, please note: for those of you who have the urge to write in and tell me all the things about the first of my Take Two stories and tell me how it's not original and how it is too much like the book . . .
1)It was published in 2004, at which point what I did was an original concept and 2)It was my first attempt at fan fiction. Loads of people have enjoyed it. If you do not enjoy it, that's fine, just stop reading it then. :-)
If I leave you a review with a lot of editing suggestions, please do not take it as a "flame". I am sending the suggestions as constructive criticism.
Aside from lack of editing, what really irritates me is when writers insist on giving characters a middle name, particularly when it is done to "make the wedding vows sound right". If you marry someone in real life who does not have a middle name, are you going to force them to take one?
I do respond to Private Messages, it just may take me awhile. I don't get to login here as often as I would like!
STORY UPDATES as of 05/30/2014:
Time For a Four-Way: I took this story down quite awhile ago due to a personal life event that nearly ended the story and a friendship with a co-author. I really did not think I had it in me to finish it. Times change and I am once again working on this delightful little gem. When you see it show up again, know that it is totally finished and you will be getting a chapter a week. If I could just convince the other folks involved in the story to get back to me when I send out new chapters...!
Dragon and I are slowly working on editing the existing chapters and filling in the empty spots as frequently as possible. Given that I live in the US and she is in Canada, frequent is a matter of opinion . . . but we try!
OTHER UPDATES as of 8/12/2008:
Yes, Slytherin Selection was my site. No, it is no longer on-line. No, you may not use any graphics (or otherwise) that are tagged with Slytherin Selection without my permission.

Alternate names: Inturkė [Lith], Intorik, אינטוריק [Yid], Inturki, [Rus, Pol], Inturkės, Anturkė, Intorok, Russian: Интурки. 55°10' N, 25°33' E, 35 miles NNE of Vilnius (Vilna), 23 miles S of Utena (Utiyan), 7 miles SE of Moletai (Maliat). 1900 Jewish population: fewer than 100.
Inturke, surrounded by lakes on all sides, is on the road from Moletai to Vilnius, near Moletai, Joniskis, and Dubingiai. Prior to WWI, 62 Jewish families (250 persons) lived in the village, but before the Holocaust only 40 families remained including the adjoining village, Raitarada. Others emigrated to South Africa, the USA, and a few to Palestine. In 1919 a great fire in the village destroyed almost all the Jewish homes. The population reduced further during Independent Lithuania when Vilnius was ceded to Poland. The Jews worked as fishermen and petty merchants. Three annual market fairs took place annually. A Beit HaMidrash and before World War I a small yeshiva existed. During Lithuanian independence, a small public library, but no school or cheder existed so Children of Inturke attended schools at Moletai, Kaunas, and Ukmerge (Vilkomir). On the eastern side of one of the lakes about one kilometer away, was the village of Raitarada with a Jewish community of 20 families. A post office was opened in 1926. No evidence of common graves or other signs of massacre were found at Inturke and Raitarada after WWII; presumably, the population was murdered in Utena where all Jews of the region were brought by force.

Pro Skier and BASE Jumper Ted Davenport is currently on a month-long Ski-BASE expedition on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. You can follow the expedition at http://baffinbase.com/blog. Here, the Aspen resident checks in with a report from the trip--
It's been a week since we arrived at the Sam Ford Fjord, on Baffin Island. After a short stay in Clyde River, we embarked on a 7 hour snowmobile ride ending at the base of Kyguti wall. We established our camp, which consists of 14 personal tents and 2 Mountain Hardware Space Station team tents. Our base camp is quite an impressive feat, with six-foot high snow walls wrapping around all the tents, protecting us from the gale-force winds that rip up the fjord at night. Day two was plagued by inclement weather, so we took the opportunity to organize the base camp further and essentially made our home for the next month.
On day three we awoke to perfect weather, finally getting a view of this amazing place. The good weather also meant it was time to jump. Splitting up into three groups, we headed up to the top of Kyguti, taking just over three hours breaking trail. This cliff is one big overhung wall, perfect for a first jump in Baffin. Ted Rudd, tracking legend from New Zealand, and I had an excellent two-way, kicking off an incredible adventure in BASEland. Since then the weather has been on and off, sunny then cloudy, calm then windy. We've all adapted to the conditions of our environment, with multiple jumps already taking place.
So far I've done three jumps off Kyguti, warming up the legs and getting the big-wall tracking skills back (its been three whole months!) Today a team went to the infamous Chinese wall, a 5100' beast. They all came back with big smiles, telling tales of a cliff face that never ends. I opted to do a solo climb and jump off Kyguti, hitting the far left side and tracking down the west ridge. It was super cool to solo this one, having time to reflect just how lucky I am to be here. I've also spotted many speedflight lines and also a ski-BASE that is nothing short of OMFG!
The next day a group of 16 headed out for Ottawa Peak. After about a four hour climb, we were at the summit of a 4200' wall. I went for the high exit, out tracking a snowy ledge at about 10sec. My reward for going first was to watch 15 more jumpers flying across the sky, truly a sight to see.

25 grand would be okay depending if its dsg or not
Hi All
Could anyone suggest a range in price for mk6 2013 Golf R.. travelled less than 60K ? Thinking of putting it on the market but not sure of decent value
25 grand would be okay depending if its dsg or not
25 is on the low side. I'd say to ask for 29 with those kms. Depends on the condition, service history, modifications, etcs.
MY12 GOLF R | Candy White | DSG | Leather | RNS | Sunroof | MDI | RS05RR
MY10.5 R36 wagon | Icelandic Grey | RNS | Supersprint catback
In the late 20's (28-29K) sounds very acceptable for your car if in immaculate condition etc.

Tassaduq Jillani refuses to take up CEC job after Bhagwandas
A coveted post till today, Justice Jilani is the second senior judge to turn down the offer to assume the charge after government and opposition leader Khursheed Shah agreed on his name.
Earlier, Rana Bhagwandas rejected the nomination of the new Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) in a meeting with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Senator Raza Rabbani.
Apparently, Jillani refused to become CEC following opposition by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, who expressed his lack of trust in the retired judge for the slot.

As I assume you may or may not have noticed, I haven't posted since our trip to Florida. I apologize a lot for that because I said I would be better at making weekly posts. However, after Florida my life was literally crazy till probably this last week. It has to do with the Halloween and life and I just could not catch two seconds to myself.
Lets start with halloweekend. If you're in college or ever went, or just know what halloweekend is then you don't need the explanation. For those who have no idea, it's the weekend before Halloween when you party nonstop until basically the day after Halloween. For me, my birthday is the 29th of October so I get caught up in the mess of halloweekend and Halloween. I went home that weekend on Friday because, my friends back home went out to supper with me. Then my crazy ass drove 3 1/2 hours back to college to go to a party at the hockey house on Saturday. I mean it was worth it because, we had a ton of fun but the 3 1/2 hours wasn't very fun. Then Sunday was my birthday so of course it being my 21st we had to go out and get drunk at the bars and sing karaoke. I surprisingly didn't have a hangover or didn't feel like shit the next day, but I also still didn't go to class. It was a great time especially because, my friends and I had a theme and it was USA so we had some great outfits.
It took me like the whole first week of November to recover because, first, of all my liver was dying and second, of all because, I was exhausted from late nights. I took this last weekend to relax a little and catch up on some sleep.
This past Thursday was one of our roomies 21st birthday, so we obviously went out for it. It was such a fun night, but right before we left the bars I just got pissed and I'm not sure why. I yelled and made myself mac and cheese and went to bed because, I just couldn't with people anymore.
This next week shouldn't be too terrible until I get my last bio test back, and take my stats test Tuesday. Have a great week!


text: The BBC's 719' TV tower was built in the mid 1950s and was a marvel at its time and is still the third largest structure in London. A documentary was made about its design and construction and is detailed in the following three videos. Similar to the famous picture of steel erectors sitting on a beam overlooking New York City, workers and engineers had no hard hats and were not tied off on the Crystal Palace tower. Bullhorns were used to communicate with winch operators. No fatalities occurred during the construction of the tower which will remain a key part of the BBC network when the London area is switched to digital in 2012. The four-legged structure was built by British Insulated Callenders Construction Company Limited. This film, entitled The Phoenix Tower, was used as the BBC's first color test transmission in November 1956.

NJ Folk Festival Information

NJFF Archive
|About the New Jersey Folk Festival
In addition to providing educational opportunities to festival goers, the NJFF also provides students with a laboratory where they learn leadership and management skills. The festival is the end-product of a special three-credit class which offers undergraduate instruction in running a folk festival and the public presentation of culture. The NJFF is one of only a handful of folk festivals in the U.S. managed by undergraduate students. The students are responsible for all aspects of advertising, planning, and producing an event that celebrates the diverse multicultural and indigenous folk life of New Jersey and the surrounding region.
When the festival was created in 1975, only two students were involved in its organization and management. Today, fourteen students serve on the planning committee, which meets for three hours once a week under the direction of faculty advisors Angus Gillespie and Erin Clarke. During the first half of the class, the students learn about folklore and cultural studies including the distinction between "traditional" versus "revival" folk music, theoretical problems associated with publicly presenting ethnic culture, the history and aesthetic sensibilities of the craft presenters and performers, as well as more practical instruction in how to write press releases or conduct radio interviews. The second half of the class functions as a business meeting, complete with progress reports from coordinators, "breakaway" management team work sessions, and problem-solving.
The student coordinators form a closely-knit team, where they develop leadership and management skills, written and verbal communication, personal assertiveness, and time management. The class is part of the curriculum of the American Studies Department of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.

IBF AGM in New Delhi this evening
The contentious issue of service tax on broadcasters is expected to figure prominently on the agenda of the Indian Broadcasting Foundation, which holds its annual general meeting in New Delhi this evening.
The Foundation is also likely to discuss the Convergence Bill, cable piracy and the IBF report on Tam-Intam, tabled recently. The IBF recently barred airtime sellers and production houses from becoming board members in the association. At an EGM held in the last week of October 2001, the Foundation decided to bar these from becoming primary members too, in order to focus on major issues faced by broadcasters. Today's AGM could make a start in this direction by taking up the matter of protecting broadcasters' interests against payment defaults by ad agencies, a long pending issue.
The contentious issue of five per cent service tax on broadcasting services could well rank high on today's agenda. The central government had, earlier this year, issued a notification widening the service tax net by adding 15 new services, which include MSOs and broadband players. The IBF is piloting a representation to the government that the recepient of the service (ad agencies apart from others) should also shoulder the additional tax burden.
The Foundation may also have another issue to look at if it takes a lead from I&B minister Sushma Swaraj's comments yesterday. Addressing a round table discussion on broadcasting rights and responsibilities in Chennai on Tuesday, Swaraj said that the IBF should identify an ideal mix of public service and commercial broadcast and look at wider issues as well.

Making Space for Art in Dearborn
Imagine having a place, at the heart of a city's downtown, where dozens of artists could afford to live, work and collaborate. Imagine if that space also had room for the community to engage with the artists through events, classes and an arts marketplace. Think what a hub of bustle and creativity it could be. Envision the how many new businesses and organizations would gravitate toward such a place.
Come 2015, the Dearborn community will no longer have to imagine such a place. After five years of planning, applications, preparing and dreaming, the 80,000 square foot historic City Hall building will be reborn as the City Hall Artspace Lofts with 46 live/work units and 25,000 square feet of space dedicated to commercial and community uses.
"This has been years in the making," says Melissa Kania of the East Dearborn Downtown Development Authority (EDDDA). "It's not just a Dearborn project, it's a southeast Michigan project. We are just so excited."
Kania and the many EDDDA partners who have worked to bring the national non-profit Artspace to Dearborn certainly have reason to express their delight. Should all the final funding details fall into place as planned, the $16 million project will be one of about 30 Artspace projects in the country, and the first of its kind in Michigan. To even be considered by Artspace, Dearborn went through rigorous application and evaluation process.
"When we go to a new community, we look for a commitment to the arts, from the mayor to local volunteers," says Vice President of Property Development for Artspace Heidi Kurtze. "We ask, 'How deep is that commitment?' and determine if there is also a commitment financially to help us advance this project and really be true project partners."
What they found in Dearborn, after community visits, applications and surveys, had them convinced. Anyone who might hesitate to categorize Dearborn as a particularly artsy community now has plenty of evidence to believe the claim.
"Dearborn really hit the ball out of the park," Kurtze says.
In an initial survey of artists and arts organizations within a 50 mile radius of the city, Kania says an overwhelming number were identified and expressed enthusiasm to support the project.
"We honestly did not have any fear that we would find those creatives because we know that Deaborn has such an artistic community," Kania says. "Artspace saw that the here too, and it was confirmed through that artist market survey."
Throughout the project, the EDDDA and the City of Dearborn has partnered with the Arab American National Museum, the Henry Ford Museum and other local organizations and businesses to make the community's case as a candidate for Artspace.
All of that effort was put forth for good reason. While the arts are fun, exciting and meaningful for community members, when it comes down to it, Artspace is an economic development opportunity for Dearborn. Two third-party studies have proven economic returns in cities with Artspace projects. The reports found the projects have animated deteriorating historic structures, brought vacant or underutilized spaces back on the tax rolls, boosted area property values, and attracted additional businesses and organizations to the area.
"The studies show there are benefits to the artists," says Artspace's Senior Director of National Advancement, Kathleen Kvern. "But also the communities benefit, from increased density and creative businesses moving into the area to create more livability."
Should plans move forward as intended construction is scheduled to begin this fall and continue for about a year. The exterior of the 1922 city hall building and the two other buildings on its campus will remain the same, but their insides will be transformed. The 46 live/work units will be developed inside the City Hall Building and West Annex Building, and will include studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. The units will be available to artists and their families at rates affordable for those earning 30 to 60 percent of the area median income.
"Most artists can't afford a separate studio and living space. Here, they have better tools, resources and connections with other artists to help them advance their careers," Kurtze says. "The building is just naturally conducive to spaces for artists, with large windows, high ceilings and a large volume of space. It was just a natural fit."
The 25,000 square foot Concourse Building connecting the two residential buildings will house "A Space Between" area that could take a variety of forms. Business training and classes may be available to artists, as well as co-working spaces, a weekend global arts marketplace, entrepreneurial spaces and more.
"They're excited about this," Kania says of the Dearborn community and the EDDDA's partners. "They're excited to see change, and this new, vibrant activity coming to downtown."
With potential economic impact, a new hub of activity downtown and the entrance of more creative professionals into the community, there's plenty to be excited about. Though the Dearborn City Hall Artspace Lofts may seem the stuff of imagination, all involved are confident the project will begin to enter to realm of reality this year, making Dearborn's future as a destination for the arts pretty easy to imagine.

Ownership and income tax: Specific types of property: land and buildings: example 7: sole name - taxpayer claims constructive trust
A purchased a house as an investment. The house was registered in his name alone and he provided the purchase money by way of a mortgage. His wife B does not work and has no other income. A is a higher rate taxpayer.
The rental income is returned by A and B each on a 50/50 basis.
As is usual in these income tax cases, there is no conflict between the taxpayers, but HMRC may disagree with them.
Taxpayer's position
A says that S53(2) Law of Property Act applies (TSEM9914). The requirement for a trust in respect of land and buildings to be in writing is removed where there is a resulting, implied or constructive trust. He says that there is a constructive trust (TSEM9700) in which B has a beneficial interest in the property. A says he and his wife agreed at the outset that the property was to be owned jointly, and there is therefore a 'common intention' (TSEM9720).
A says that B has demonstrated 'detriment' in that she was relying on the arrangement in that she expected to share in the proceeds of any sale (TSEM9730).
HMRC's position
ITA/S836 (TSEM9814) does not apply because the property is not in joint names, so the general principles apply.
The house is in the sole name of A. He is the sole legal owner, and presumably the sole beneficial owner, unless there is evidence to the contrary (TSEM9140).
In the case of land and buildings, S53 Law of Property Act 1925 applies. For B to have a beneficial interest there must be a resulting or constructive trust in her favour.
B cannot claim an interest by way of a resulting trust (TSEM9600) because she has not contributed to the purchase price (TSEM9640).
HMRC does not agree that a constructive trust arises, because no evidence exists of any agreement made at the time of purchase to share the beneficial ownership in the property. Nor has a common intention to share ownership been inferred from the conduct of the parties over the whole course of dealing with the property (TSEM9720).
There is no detriment because B has not given anything away or significantly changed her position (TSEM9730).
A is entitled to all the income, and is taxable on it.

Competition is working in the broadband market.
On July 31, telecom provider Time Warner Cable announced that it plans to deploy faster Internet connectivity and enhanced TV offerings in six major markets around the nation. The upgrades, scheduled for next year, will be in the cities of Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C.; Dallas; Kansas City, Mo.; San Antonio; San Diego; and the state of Hawaii. Time Warner is calling the new service "TWC Maxx."
Current Time Warner Internet customers will receive faster speeds and upgraded DVR service for no additional cost, the Charlotte Observer reported. Upgrades already underway in Los Angeles, New York City and Austin are scheduled for completion by the end of 2014.
Time Warner's announcement comes after similar announcements made by AT&T and Google. Google announced in February that it was considering deploying Fiber in 34 new cities, which include Charlotte, Raleigh and San Antonio, and Kansas City is already a Google Fiber city. AT&T announced in April that it was looking at 100 cities where it would deploy gigabit Internet service. The company launched service in Austin, and is now deploying the service in Dallas, Raleigh-Durham and Winston-Salem. Kansas City, Charlotte, San Diego and San Jose are also on AT&T's list of proposed expansion cities.
One of Google's goals with its fiber offering was to "scare the pants off" the incumbent broadband providers, Gartner Research Vice President Ian Keene told Government Technology in mid-June. Whether the new network upgrade announcements by AT&T and Time Warner qualify as meeting Google's goal is unclear, but the search giant is driving market competition where previously there was little. -- Colin Wood

Mike Whitfield
Managing director Nissan SA and president region Africa South
Mike Whitfield is the managing director of Nissan South Africa and also heads up the company's Africa South regional business unit, which covers Sub Saharan Africa. The unit was created in 2013 to support Nissan's Midterm Plan and Growth strategy, a key focus which is growth in Africa. The continent is split into two business regions: Africa-South, operated out of South Africa; and Africa-North operated out of Egypt.
Whitfield is responsible for capitalising on the opportunity that Africa presents and building on an existing well-developed strategy in Sub Saharan Africa, where Nissan has been active for many years. Key focus countries in North Africa include Egypt, Algeria and Morocco while in Sub Saharan Africa, fast-growing markets comprise Ghana and Nigeria in West Africa; Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in East Africa; and Angola and the well-established South African market in Southern Africa.
Whitfield has extensive experience in the automotive industry. He joined Nissan in 1981 as a marketing trainee, giving him exposure to all parts of the business. This was prior to his promotion to advertising coordinator. Whitfield followed this with a stint as district sales manager for the then Southern Transvaal, responsible for all dealer activities.
Between 1987 and 1988, Whitfield went on to hold positions of product manager for passenger vehicles and advertising manager. His leadership skills first came to prominence when he became head of Nissan's Kwa-Zulu Natal region. This was followed by his appointment as director of Nissan's heavy vehicle division in 1993, responsible for a wide portfolio in Nissan's diesel business unit. This included manufacturing, human resources, engineering, purchasing, sales and marketing, and finance.
By 1999, Whitfield had been appointed director sales and marketing for Nissan SA, responsible for National Sales Companies and after-marketing activities. Six years later he took up a foreign posting when he was asked to set up Nissan operations in Northern Europe, where he was MD Nissan Nordic Europe. Whitfield returned to South Africa as MD for Nissan SA in 2008.
During his extensive career in the automotive industry, he has become known for his strong leadership skills and wide industry knowledge.

Mycology Vol. 2 includes typical representatives of the two Divisons of "Higher Fungi" - the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Both are very large groups with many examples of fungi of economic significance, e.g., plant and animal pathogens, mycorrhizal symbionts, agents of decay and industrial fermentations, sources of food and as subjects for scientific research. The video clips include many spectacular time-lapse sequences, e.g., fungal growth and spore puffing. The contents of Mycology Vol.1 and Mycology Vol.2 have been extensively rearranged following a modern taxonomic framework.
