Meade Ave got its start with Aaron Paoletta, the founder of Bad Sue Records LLC. Aaron moved to Las Vegas, NV from rural PA to pursue his goal of becoming a chef. A classically trained musician, Aaron instantly bonded with Seth Peavler, another musician turned chef, when the two worked in the same hotel/casino. Both men expressing their desire to shift gears and pursue a career in music led to several projects that would eventually evolve into Meade Ave. When the pair met Stephen Johnson they instantly felt a connection and began writing and recording music at the Bad Sue Records studio which, at the time, was located at 3311 Meade Ave in Las Vegas. While trying to decide on a name for this newest musical endeavor, Aaron noticed the Meade Ave road sign and thought it would look interesting as a band logo. Obviously the name stuck and Meade Ave was officially born. The trio would go on to release an EP entitled 'At the Beginning'. In early 2013, personal and creative differences began to arise which led to Stephen leaving the band.
Around this same time, Aaron had reestablished contact with a former co-worker, Joe Arduini, who also happened to play guitar. Joe, Seth and Aaron established a bond and on April 27, 2013 Joe was officially added to the lineup as guitarist and vocalist. A long time musician, Joe was able to write songs quickly leading to the next 3 EPs, 'The Meade Ave', 'Ionosphere' and 'Silvercord' as well as the single 'Desperate' being released in just over a year. It was with Joe that the band truly began to make a name for themselves in the Las Vegas music scene. In May of 2014 Joe informed the band that he was moving. Initially shocked, all three members decided to try and make the long distance work but unfortunately, it was not to be. Joe left the band in September of 2014.
In June of 2014, Seth had met Jeff Bowling, a professional wrestler, stunt performer/fight choreographer and former U.S. Army combat veteran, and introduced him to the rest of the band. Initially, the intention was to expand Meade Ave into a four-piece with a new vocalist. However, the band quickly signed Jeff on as the General Manager due to his experience and contacts within the entertainment industry in Las Vegas. Jeff introduced the band to Blake Wolden, a Las Vegas native and guitarist, with the intention of Blake becoming a touring guitar player for when Joe was not able to be at a performance. Upon Joe's departure from the band, Jeff and Blake were officially added to Meade Ave's lineup as vocalist/songwriter and guitarist respectively. On September 26, 2014 Meade Ave officially posted 'Born Again' on their website, the newest single written and recorded by the current lineup. On April 30, 2015 Meade Ave released 'From the Ashes,' the first full-length studio album from the band, which solidified a change in sound and direction from the Alternative Rock Meade Ave had been known for, to a distinct Hard Rock/Metal sound.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What city and state are you from?
MEADE AVE: MEADE AVE is a Hard Rock/Metal band that hails from Las Vegas, NV. Blake Wolden (Guitars) is also from Las Vegas and has lived there all his life. Jeff Bowling (Frontman/Vocalist) was born in London, KY, spent his younger and early teenage years in Minneapolis, MN and spent his High School years in Marion, OH. Aaron Paoletta (Drums) is from Mercer, PA and Seth Peavler (Bass) is from Ledyard, CT.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What is your music background?
MEADE AVE: Each of MEADE AVE's members have strong backgrounds in a variety of musical styles.
Jeff Bowling's father is a Gospel singer and Guitar player and his mother sang in the church choir and played Guitar and Piano. Jeff tried Guitar at 4 years old and again at 16 but just never took to it. Instead he received classical training on Violin, played Trombone in Middle School band and also sang in Middle School and church choir. In High School he began to explore more musical outlets and ended up playing Keyboard and Synth in an Goth/Industrial band called CORROSION. He was the Lead Singer of SMEGMA for 1 year and after joining the Army he became the Lead Singer for THE BASTARDS, a NYC based Hardcore/Punk band for 3 years. In 2008 he and his wife began an Industrial, Folk and Experimental Noise project called LUCID. In 2014, Jeff joined MEADE AVE as Lead Vocalist and Frontman. Jeff also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Audio Production from the International Academy of Design & Technology.
Aaron Paoletta's father was a drummer for the Pennsylvania based cover band, EVEN FLOW and his mother was a classically trained pianist. Aaron himself is a multi-instrumentalist who is classically trained in Saxophone and has been playing drums since the age of 4. Aaron has performed with his High School jazz band, pep band, marching band, concert band and honors ensemble. Aaron, along with his brother and sister, formed the Jazz band ONE TAP POP in 2008. He plays Saxophone, Drums, brasswind instruments and Clarinet proficiently. He also plays Guitar and Bass but not with the same precision. Aaron is the founder and owner of Bad Sue Records, LLC and Roadshow Studios in Las Vegas, NV.
Blake Wolden, unlike the rest of the band, did not really come from a musical family or really have an interest in music until the 7th grade when he picked up Trumpet and played in his school's symphonic band. A music credit was required and in his words he picked Trumpet "Because it was the easiest instrument to carry on the bus." A long time fan of Heavy Metal music, Blake put down the Trumpet and picked up his first Guitar at the age of 16. Blake taught himself the instrument through, playing by ear, covers of Metallica and Pantera songs. At 17 he was invited to some jam sessions with a garage rock band started by the former, touring Bass player of REO SPEEDWAGON, John Redhawk. After perfecting his playing under the tutelage of Mr. Redhawk, Blake began to jam with several, small local bands until joining MEADE AVE in 2014.
Seth Peavler is a classically trained Clarinet player who began playing at 12 years old. In High School, Seth learned Saxophone and played in his school's jazz band. After High School, Seth left music behind completely to begin a career in Culinary Arts. In 2010 he picked up Bass and began playing it in studio sessions with his friend, Aaron Paoletta. This would eventually lead to the creation of MEADE AVE.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What are your songs about?
MEADE AVE: MEADE AVE's first LP, From the Ashes, is a concept album that tells the story of the band, and its individual members, from the beginning to where we are today. Each song on the album is a chapter of the overall story. "In the Beginning," "Enlightenment," and "The Journey" describes the early days of MEADE AVE from deciding to start the band, through the indecision and sacrificed time each member had to endure and finally the excitement and adrenaline rush of the first concert. "Prelude," "Cycles," "Denial," and "Revelation" cover the anger, resentment, feelings of abandonment and abuse suffered by the members at the hands of less than professional managers, promoters and even early members of the band that harmed the progress of MEADE AVE. From the Ashes, Born Again and Redemption are the climax of the story which explain the current line-up finding each other, getting themselves back on track and figuratively being reborn from the ashes. Threads of Fate and The (w)Reckoning cover the sense of family, brotherhood and united purpose that MEADE AVE now has with each other and our fans. These two songs stand as a message to the world about how we will not stop and showcase the type of music the listener can expect from MEADE AVE moving forward The (w)Reckoning lays the groundwork for the MEADE AVE MILITIA which is the network of the band, our family and our fans. So it is Done! is a bonus track only available on the physical CD of "From the Ashes" and is a destruction ritual set to music that serves as one final vent about the pain suffered by the band which was previously covered in "Prelude-Revelation". It is a song whose purpose is to close the door on the past so that MEADE AVE can look solely to our future.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What is your favorite song to perform and why?
MEADE AVE: It is difficult to pick a favorite song to perform. We love the songs we have written and the reaction the audience has to each one in their own way. If the band, as a whole, had to pick a favorite we would call it a tie between "Redemption" and "Enlightenment" because we tend to play those two to each other on stage and we create our own energy feedback loop. We all have so much fun playing those two that sometimes we even forget we are on a stage in front of an audience. However, each member of the band has their own favorite for various reasons. Jeff and Aaron both prefer "Born Again". Jeff loves performing it because it is the song with the most audience participation and he gets to watch the audience feel the song and send that energy back to the stage. Aaron likes it because sitting in the back, on the drums, he doesn't get to see how into the set the audience is but when everyone's fist goes up and they start chanting 'HEY!' he can finally see and hear them. Blake prefers Denial because it reminds him of the gritty, dialed down metal he grew up on and pumps him up. Seth prefers "So it is Done!" as it is hard-hitting, angry and groovy and we almost always get a mosh pit started in the crowd.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What has surprised you the most in the pursuit of a career in music?
MEADE AVE: There have been several surprises on this path. Some great and some horrible. Each band member has their own things that caught them off guard but as a whole MEADE AVE has been most surprised by how hungry fans are to hear new music, how quickly they embrace a new sound and a new band and how supportive the older guys in the industry are of us. Aaron Paoletta was most surprised by how difficult it is to make music into a career yet how strong the high of being on stage and feeling the energy of a large crowd is. Blake Wolden was most surprised by life on the road. Especially how weather can impact a tour schedule such as when we were driving through two tornadoes while touring Texas in May of this year. Seth Peavler was most surprised by how much strain and pressure being in a professional, career band can put on your personal and family lives, both mentally and physically. Jeff Bowling was most surprised by how fast the music industry and the fans expectations change and evolve such as the advent of digital streaming, bands being signed and dropped from labels, etc.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: Who are your musical influences?
MEADE AVE: MEADE AVE is a diverse band with an equally diverse list of influences. As a whole, MEADE AVE looks at Metallica, Pantera, Disturbed, Godsmack, Led Zeppelin and our fellow Las Vegas musicians, Five Finger Death Punch as the biggest influences. Individually, Aaron cites Dave Koz, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, his own father and the Mercer High School Band Director, Travis J. Weller as his biggest influences. Blake cites Dimebag Darrell Abbot (Pantera, Damageplan), Kirk Hammet and James Hetfield (Metallica) Ryan Knight (The Black Dahlia Murder) and Korn as his source of inspiration. Jeff was influenced by Boyd Rice (NON, Death in June, The Boyd Rice Experience), Peter Murphy (Bauhaus), Nick Cave (The Birthday Party, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Grinderman), Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Rancid, Bad Religion, Nirvana, Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails, How to Destroy Angels) Alice in Chains, Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer) Stone Temple Pilots and Marilyn Manson. Seth draws his inspiration from Reel Big Fish, The Ramones, Queen, Anthrax, Streetlight Manifesto, Iron Maiden, John Entwistle (The Who) and Les Claypool (Primus).
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: How would you describe your music to people?
MEADE AVE: MEADE AVE likes to say we toe the line between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal by using a classical song structure fused with raw aggression and emotion to give our fans a powerful musical and emotional experience. If you listen to our music you will hear bits and pieces that could belong to several genres and obviously reflect each band member's individual influences but at the end of the day, we are a new school Hard Rock/Metal band that writes music with an old school feel.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What makes you stand out from other artists?
MEADE AVE: The #1 thing that separates us from other artists is our professionalism and work ethic. We are almost always the first band to arrive at a venue, whether we are headlining or not, and the last to leave. We never cancel shows no matter how sick or tired we are (literally, the only exceptions are for deaths in our families). When we arrive at a venue we talk with the sound engineers, bartenders, promoters, security and see what we can do to make their jobs easier. We hit the pavement in every city we play in and promote our shows street team style again, whether we are headlining or not. From a fan perspective, what sets us apart is that we are fans ourselves. Unless we are getting ready to go on stage we do not hide in the green room. We are at the bar, in the mosh pit, at our merch stand or standing out front having a smoke with other fans. However, when we get on that stage the fans get a high energy, well-rehearsed and big arena style performance regardless of the size of the venue. We create an environment where the fans are the rock stars, our friends and our family and they, the MEADE AVE MILITIA, know that they are an integral part of the performance. Musically, it is our unique backgrounds that create a blend of old school Heavy Metal and modern Hard Rock that creates a well polished, high standard sound with an aggressive grit that is reminiscent of an underground, garage band.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What would you like to see changed in today's music industry?
MEADE AVE: MEADE AVE only sees a few issues with the music industry as it stands today. First and foremost is the inability the industry has had to embrace the modern, digital format of music. With streaming and downloading being the #1 way that fans seem to be getting their music these days, the industry needs to catch up, embrace that and find a way for the artist to get paid for their music without making the fans feel ripped off. The other big thing we see wrong with the industry is the promotion of personalities over talent. Obviously an image is important for any musician but when one's entire basis for being promoted on a worldwide scale is that image and the person behind it has very little to no actual talent or musical ability there is something wrong. Meanwhile there are bands and solo artists with years poured into their craft and thousands of dollars spent on gear, lessons, and fine tuning their ability who will never be recognized. Basically, MEADE AVE would like to see the music industry go back to focusing on the music.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What are some upcoming projects that you are currently working on?
MEADE AVE: MEADE AVE does not like to stay still and stagnate. We have a lot of projects we are currently working on. Right now we are currently writing a theme song for and independent professional wrestler, Hangman Jesse Stone, which should be completed in the next couple of weeks (it will be available for free to our fans once it is complete.) We are also working on a theme song for The Crazy Joe Show at the request of Crazy Joe himself. While doing that we are booking and preparing for the next leg of the From the Ashes tour which will take us through California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho and Utah. We have several shows coming up including a return to the world famous Whisky a Go-Go in Hollywood, CA on December 7, 2015 and we are finishing up writing on our next EP, Ritual Noise. Once we get those demos cut we are going back into the studio to record Ritual Noise and it should be available early 2016. Ritual Noise is one part filling in gaps in the story off of From the Ashes and one part preparing fans for our next album cycle.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
MEADE AVE: Our long term career goals are to be signed to a major record label so that we can put MEADE AVE's music into the hearts and hands of fans around the world in the absolute best way possible. We want to establish ourselves in the music industry as the new standard for what a Hard Rock/Metal band is supposed to be while not forgetting where we came from, what we had to do to get there and be able to use our experience and name to help younger bands continue that legacy.
In 10 years we see ourselves in the studio, working on our 6th studio album (assuming a 2-year album cycle per record), planning our next world tour to promote that album and having established MEADE AVE as a name fans know always puts out music they want to hear and puts on a performance they cannot afford to miss.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: How can your fans access your music and contact you?
MEADE AVE: MEADE AVE spearheads this worldwide organization called the MEADE AVE MILITIA. In order to be a part of the MILITIA all you have to do is be a fan of our music and further the cause of putting Hard Rock and Heavy Metal back on the top of the music industry. That being said, we LOVE to hear from the MILITIA and we encourage all members, worldwide to contact us. You can send us an email at email@example.com or message us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/meadeave. It will always be a band member responding to your messages as we believe that being personal with our fans is the only way we ever want to operate. Beyond that you can learn about us and check out our music at www.meadeave.com, www.reverbnation.com/meadeave and follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/meadeave.

Cruz Control
The junior senator from Texas is a smart political operator—so why can't he resist picking so many losing fights with members of his own party?
The last time I interviewed Ted Cruz, the freshman senator from Texas, was in October, about a week after the end of the federal government shutdown. Official Washington was just getting back to business as usual, and a clutch of woolly-looking protesters were chanting outside Cruz's office in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Cruz himself was running a little late that morning, and when I was finally ushered into his office, he warned me that he might be grumpy, because he was sick. It was the day before Halloween, and as I set up my recorder, I tried to make small talk—which was, as always, a thankless exercise..
"Do you have a costume?" I asked.
Story Continued Below
"No," Cruz said. "I have in past years," he added, gamely. "But I don't..." he trailed off.
"What was your best costume of all time?"
"I've done Zorro," Cruz said, and sighed. "Zorro wasn't bad. I've done Phantom of the Opera." He paused, apparently looking for something else to say. "They're certainly similar."
This was typical of my experience. I had spent hours with Cruz last year, interviewing him for a long profile in Texas Monthly. We talked in Washington in July, when he wasn't considered much more than a Tea Party pest, newly elected and quoting Ludwig von Mises; in Waco in August, while he was traveling around Texas promoting the effort to defund the Affordable Care Act; in Houston in October, shortly after the end of the shutdown that he had arguably helped start; and several other times. Regardless of the circumstances, each time I tried to make small talk with him, it was boring. I was bored. And he seemed bored too, as he dutifully fielded my questions, trying and often failing to turn up interesting answers.
In this respect Cruz, in person, proved to be quite different from the Cruz we've seen on the national stage, the polarizing phenomenon most famous for his 21-hour stop-Obamacare-or-else pseudo-filibuster last fall. I found him to be pleasant, buttoned-up and even a little bland. It was only when asked about politics, policy or the law that he came to life: ferociously smart, talkative, engaged. Critics see the senator as a loudmouth, a firebrand and a loose cannon—which is not surprising given that Cruz spent much of his first year in the Senate offending his colleagues, Republican and Democrat alike, in battles over gun control ("I am not a sixth grader," Sen. Dianne Feinstein snapped at him), immigration reform, Chuck Hagel's nomination for secretary of defense and, of course, Obamacare.
Just last week, Cruz picked another fight with his own caucus. Although Democrats control the Senate, he announced, they would have to convince at least five Republicans to join them in supporting a bill to raise the debt ceiling or else he would delay the bill by filibustering. In doing so, he raised the ire of colleagues like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who was forced to vote to forestall the filibuster—and might take some heat back home for doing so.
It was a contentious, divisive, even obnoxious thing for Cruz to do, and it didn't make any sense, which is perhaps the most confounding thing about Ted Cruz: He's clearly smart, and he thinks a lot about strategy. He has no known demons that would drive him to self-sabotage. Yet since being sworn in last year, he has fallen on his sword several times for highly dubious reasons.
So, why do it?
I keep coming back to my conversations with him last fall. Although he hadn't had much appetite for small talk, he always perked up when my questions turned to fiscal matters and budget cutting—and the subject of whether his fellow Republicans really got it.
One particular exchange seemed telling: When we met in his Hill office last October, he was giving an impassioned take on his plans for fiscal discipline when he mentioned the need for entitlement reform, saying that he wanted to ensure the viability of Social Security and Medicare over the long term, rather than whittling away at them.
"Why do you think President Bush's effort to reform Social Security got so little traction?" I asked.
"Because Congressional Republicans ran for the hills," Cruz said. "It was one of the most courageous things President Bush did in his second term, was taking on Social Security. He was right to do it, and unfortunately, on Capitol Hill he had virtually no allies."
"Why did they run for the hills?"
"Because the dominant instinct in Congress is risk aversion," he said.
His attitude was placid, as if he were again observing that Zorro and the Phantom wear similar masks, as if he either didn't realize or didn't care that this was a pretty cutting thing to say, that it was exactly the kind of comment that might irritate his colleagues.
Cruz was, at that point, aware of the criticisms that had been directed at him during the effort to defund Obamacare, and defiant about them: Although he acknowledged that the defunding strategy wasn't likely to succeed, he insisted that it had a chance to do so—and that other Republicans hadn't offered a better strategy for stopping the law before it took effect, on Oct. 1 of last year.
But even prior to the defunding campaign, he had been casually critical of his party on many occasions. During that first interview, in July, he went out of his way to tweak fellow Republicans. "For a long time, the federal government, I believe, has spent too much, taxed too much, regulated too much and borrowed too much," he said. "And that has been a bipartisan affliction—an awful lot of Republicans were complicit in exploding the size, power and spending of the federal government." As political rhetoric goes, it was benign enough. It certainly wasn't as aggressive as when he implied, in July, as he was starting to talk about the defunding strategy, that moderate Republicans in the Senate can be summarized as a "surrender caucus," for example.
But Cruz has a pattern of making such comments, and of acting on them, as he did last week. Both his debt-ceiling gambit and the defunding campaign were practically guaranteed to fail, and to annoy his colleagues in the process. And that being the case, for Cruz's many critics, last week's stunt probably seemed like pointless, annoying grandstanding—and odd, given that Cruz could use some allies in Congress if he has any aspirations for higher office, which he presumably does. (Cruz, who is 43, said several things during our interviews that gave me the impression he has already considered how he might justify running for president at such a relatively young age and with less than a full term under his belt—that the country doesn't have forever to address its fiscal and economic issues, and so on. And although some of Cruz's more ardent supporters have harrumphed that he should abandon the surrender caucus and lead a new party, I found no indication that he wants to leave the Republican fold. "I am not a fan of third parties," he told me, when I pressed him on that question.)
There was, however, one difference between the defund-Obamacare campaign and the debt- ceiling stunt—and it's a difference that may illuminate a politician who can seem inexplicable. With regard to the defunding campaign, Cruz had insisted to me on several occasions that there was a plausible, if unlikely, objective: that if Senate Republicans stood together, a handful of Democrats—red-state Democrats facing reelection in 2014, to start—might be moved to join them. Last week, though, there wasn't even a theoretical policy goal.

The August of 2016, the husband, me and a little brown leather bound journal carefully tucked away in my bag , traveled to Italy and checked off plenty from our bucket list. We devoured pasta like locals, indulged in wine like there was no tomorrow, learnt a handful of Italian words and drank in immense art & history. I'm glad I could make a note of our precious encounters during this ten day vacation because the many glasses of wine sure didn't help with the memory! At this point, I'm not sure how many parts this post/journey is going to be sliced into and since I'm heavily ridden with a bad habit of "straying", I cross my fingers and hope that I can keep you entertained and not subject you to boredom. I hope this journey makes you as happy as it did us…..
August 12th, 2016
I'm miserable & counting infinite sheep owing to the curse of the dreaded jet lag and find myself profusely thanking Maurizio for equipping the room with an espresso maker. At 5am, a quick youtube tutorial later, I gulp the bitter concoction in two gulps and bide my time, experiencing jitter & thrill as the espresso accomplishes it's tasks. Outside, the night time lull is gently being replaced by the whirr of motor vehicles and a boundless bright sun awakening a sleepy sky.
We head out to the Illy Cafe, minutes from our apartment, walking past a glorious Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. The air is quiet, still as it can be, waiting to be drenched in sunshine, before the cacophony of the day begins. Locals in the cafe are sipping coffee whilst engaging in laidback conversations with the barista. The barista is a skilled multi tasker,serving coffee on the dot, yet cheerfully indulging in a camaraderie with his customers. The Italians are wonderfully expressive and although the language is foreign to me, I can't help but pause and smile because instantly, I'm overcome by a surge of memories from home. Locals casually chatting with chai walas (tea vendors) & coffee vendors in Darshinis (South Indian fast food chains) is a scene almost every Bangalorean is accustomed to on weekend mornings. Research had made me aware of the very subtle similarities in culture and lifestyle…..
Breakfast introduces us to the Cornetto. The French croissant's Italian cousin. Sweet, flaky, perfectly layered, dusted in icing sugar & profusely bursting with gooey, marmalade as orange as the sunshine. I realise my predilection for Italian cuisine will only intensify. Warm, foamy cappuccinos wait patiently to be sipped as we watch the Roman world go by. Not for long though…the Colosseum awaits…
We meander along the Roman pathways despite being forewarned of the lengthy ticket lines. Although, in my view of things, the walk is a treasured experience by itself. A water color artist displays his creative ware and his papers flaunt the many tourist spots scattered across Rome. I'm partial to local artists and we splurge on a masterpiece of the Piazza Navona.
Tardily, we arrive at the destination (The Colosseum) and spend a few quiet moments marveling at the magnanimity of the colossal architecture but spirits are crushed as we spot the long lines braving under the harsh summer sun. We succumb to expensive tour guides.
The Colosseum is bathed in a sandy grey, it's facade punctuated with hundreds of windows that are struggling to enclose countless secrets, that are privy to the suffering of many pained souls. Constructed by the emperors from the Flavian Dynasty in 70AD, it is in fact an amphitheater (originally called, Flavian Amphitheater) where roughtly 65000 spectators watched as gladiators, prisoners and beasts were enforced to fight for the sole cause of entertainment. The guide pointed to dungeons indoors that locked away wild animals and humans together in a miniscule space. The swell of silence is disquieting and remains unbeaten by the gaggle of tourists and with good reason. In 217AD , a major fire destroyed major parts of the Colosseum followed by numerous earthquakes. The architecture however still stands tall as one of the icons of Rome, surrendering to constant restoration and lending tourists a tiny glimpse of a poignant Roman history many centuries later…
"While the Colosseum stands, Rome shall stand; when the Colosseum falls, Rome shall fall; when Rome falls, the world shall fall."
—AD 7th century Anglo-Saxon pilgrims' proverb, quoted by the Venerable Bede
We then snake along pathways bordered by bushy trees, led by a friendly guide to visit the Ancient Downtown Rome: The Roman Forum and the Palantine Hill.
From atop, I attempt to imagine the bustle of activity that engulfed the area 2000 years ago. What used to be studded with a plethora of temples, Roman courts, Government offices, marketplaces & homes is now a picture with hints of a laborious excavation. Ruins lie rummaged and ravaged, eaten by the severity of elements. Fluted columns stand alone and worn flagstones drape the earth providing significant clues to a lost past. A history lesson I find myself deeply immersed in….
Next, we visit the Vatican and parts of Roma contrasting these historic ruins…Ciao
(Do read my previous diary entries When in Rome &
Touchdown, Rome )

Today's Scrapbook Update guest blogger is Vicki Flinchum.
Known to many in the scrapbook community as Texas ScrapAddict, Vicki is an experienced designer and instructor. She currently designs for Zutter Innovative Products, Purple Cows, E.A.D. Designs, Heart of Texas Studios, Texana Designs and My Town Papers. You can learn more about her at her Etsy Store or her blog.
Green products, green living, green consuming: the emphasis in 2009 has been to reduce, reuse and recycle. We see it in advertising. Our children are taught it in school. With the downturn in the world economy, conspicuous consumption has been on the decline, and "going green" is in vogue.
It is no secret that the scrapbooking industry consumes large amounts of paper products. Has the industry begun the transition to reducing this consumption and rely more on recycled and natural materials? Yes, it has. There are numerous companies who offer products made from recycled or natural materials, print with soy based inks and package their products in recycled or eco friendly packaging. Some of these include: K & Company, JilliBean Soup, Die Cuts With a View, Paper Trunk, Piggy Tales, Prima Marketing Inc, Pink Paisley and Colorbok. This list, of course, is not all inclusive and should not be construed as such.
Will the trend continue? Only time will tell. Can the industry do more? Yes, a lot more. The majority of manufacturers still print with fresh paper and synthetic inks. Product packaging still utilizes lots of acetate and plastic. More manufacturers need to join the ranks of the eco friendly and rely more on recycled and all natural materials, print with soy based inks and package their products in recycled or eco friendly packaging. Since the industry seems bent on introducing multiple new lines and products several times a year, perhaps it should consider making these lines more compatible with existing products they have already produced (allowing consumers to use up older products, but still incorporate new). Or, if the industry is not willing to abandon the idea of planned obsolescence, then perhaps it could offer incentive plans to those who "trade in" their outdated product for new.
But let's remember, a lot of what the industry does remains in the hands of consumers. If the industry sees sales of eco friendly products increase and other products decline and if it sees public concern high for going green, it will spend the money for changing manufacturing processes, sourcing new materials, recycling and maybe even incorporating ideas like those mentioned above. If not, it won't. After all, investing in change requires a return on that investment.
So,we, the consumers share the burden too. What can we, as consumers, do? Seek out manufacturers that offer green products and buy those products. Use up our product stash before we buy new. Recycle our own scraps, make our own paper and embellishments. Want more ideas? Then go to the internet and look up green crafting or scrapbooking. You will be surprised at the amount of information out there.
So, we're going green. Is the scrapbooking industry there yet? No, not really, but it is trying. Are we as consumers there yet? No, not really either. But we are trying and we need to keep trying. Our voices are heard with the money we spend. Investigate, reward those who are trying with your purchases and do your part. Together, we can all make a difference.

|Michael Schumacher is seen during a training session at the Ricardo Tormo racetrack in Cheste near Valencia in February, 2006. (AFP-Yonhap News)
The Grenoble University Hospital Center said the retired racing driver arrived at the clinic in a coma and underwent immediate surgery for a serious head trauma.
It was not clear whether the 44-year-old Schumacher was still in a coma but the hospital statement, which was signed by a neurosurgeon, an anesthesiologist and Marc Penaud, the hospital's deputy director, said "he remains in a critical condition."
Schumacher fell while skiing off-piste in Meribel earlier Sunday and hit his head on a rock, according to a statement from the resort. Resort managers said he had been wearing a helmet and was conscious when rescuers first responded to the scene.
Earlier in the day, the Meribel resort said Schumacher had been taken to Grenoble for tests and authorities said his life was not in danger.
But the situation began to appear more serious when the resort said that orthopedic and trauma surgeon Gerard Saillant had traveled from Paris to the hospital in Grenoble to examine Schumacher. German news agency dpa said it was Saillant who operated on Schumacher when he broke his leg during a crash at the Silverstone race course in 1999.
In an email to the Associated Press, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm said the champion German driver was on a private skiing trip and "fell on his head."
"We ask for understanding that we cannot give running updates on his condition. He wore a helmet and was not alone," Kehm said. Schumacher's 14-year-old son was skiing with his father when the accident happened, the resort said.
As news of the accident spread, Formula One drivers used social media to wish Schumacher a quick recovery.
His former Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa, who recovered from life-threatening injuries sustained at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2009, wrote on Instagram: "I am praying for you my brother!! I hope you have a quick recovery!! God bless you Michael."
The Twitter feed of Germany's Adrian Sutil, who drives for Sauber, read: "I hope Michael Schumacher will get well soon! All my best to him and his family." Romain Grosjean of Lotus tweeted: "All our thoughts to Schumi and his family! Hope you will recover soon (hash)legend (hash)Schumi."
In addition to the crash at Silverstone, Schumacher was hurt seriously in a motorcycling accident in February 2009 in Spain when he suffered neck and spine injuries. He recovered sufficiently from those injuries to make a comeback in F1.
Schumacher initially retired from F1 in 2006 after winning five straight titles with Ferrari following two earlier ones with Benetton. He returned to the sport in 2010 and drove for three seasons for Mercedes without much success before retiring again last year.

We love FPSRussia, faux-Russian arms aficionado. We've seen him taze his fans, blow up trees with .50 caliber guns, and drive an APC through a McDonald's drive-thru. But this time he's got a real damn WWII tank, and he's itching for White Castle.
Beyond that, there's the usual bombardment of fruits—watermelons this time—and the total destruction of a jeep, first exploding the crap out of it, then running it over for good measure. Up next? A BIGGER DAMN TANK. [YouTube]

Friday's picture perfect summer skies made for an especially festive and at times poignant Saint Peter's Fiesta grand opening ceremony. Festival-goers gathered at the Saint Peter's Club and, after everyone who had participated in the day's earlier sporting events had raced home to change, the procession carrying Saint Peter through the square and around the old city hall (American Legion building) began. Eight fishermen are given the honor of transporting Saint Peter on a specially crafted cart. The Wagner and Sleepy Pallazola Families were given special commendations by the Fiesta committee Rev. James M. Achadinha, the new pastor for Our Lady of Good Voyage and Holy Family, was introduced to the crowd.
Dominic Nicastro hands the care of Saint Peter to Joe Orlando
State Representative Ann Margaret Ferrante and Senator Bruce Tarr gave moving speeches and rallying cries for the fishing industry.

Romney, Mitt
Mitt Romney (Willard Mitt Romney) (rŏm´nē), 1947–, American politician and business executive, b. Detroit, Mich., grad. Brigham Young Univ. (B.A., 1971), Harvard (M.B.A., 1975, J.D., 1975). Son of George W. Romney, he worked for Bain and Co., a Boston investment firm, serving as vice president (1978–84) and CEO and chairman (1991–93). From 1984 to 1998 he was at Bain Capital, a related investment firm he cofounded and headed. In 1994 he ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate as a Republican. Following a scandal involving bribery in the awarding of the 2002 Winter Olympics to Salt Lake City, Romney was brought in to head the organizing committee (1999–2002); he reduced severe cost overruns and secured numerous corporate sponsors. He capitalized on his success in managing the Olympics to run for governor of Massachusetts, serving for one term (2003–7). In 2007–8 Romney ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination; his Mormon faith was an issue in some primaries. In 2012, however, he secured the Republican presidential nomination. Romney, the first Mormon to win a major party nomination for president, and his running-mate Paul Ryan lost to the incumbents, Obama and Biden, in the general election.

IPads Help Airlines Cast Off Costly Load of Paper
In the Cockpit, Navigation Charts Go Digital; American Sees $1.2 Million in Fuel Savings
Airline pilots, who fly some of the world's most technologically advanced machines, have long relied on paper navigation charts and manuals, which clutter the cockpit and have to be lugged around in cases that can weigh as much as a small child.
Now, however, airlines are catching up with the tablet era.

How Much Should I Plant?
by Pamela J. Bennett
Does this sound familiar? I used to be really bad at over purchasing seeds and plants. I figured that since I have room, it would be OK to just let the garden size creep another foot or two. Until this got out of control and I had an epiphany one summer a few years ago: A lot of the produce that I was planting was just going to waste. So I started planning my vegetable garden according to what we would consume ... >> read article

Viral load is a measurement of how much
HIV is present in your blood. A sample of blood is
drawn and sent to a lab for testing. Results are expressed as the number of
copies of the virus per milliliter of blood. Each virus is called a "copy"
because HIV reproduces by making copies of itself (replicating).
The viral load test gives a more accurate picture than a CD4+ cell count of what the virus
is doing in your body at the moment. (The CD4+ test
measures the effect HIV is having on your immune system.) The viral load test
is used to help decide when to start treatment with medicines (antiretroviral
therapy) and when to change antiretroviral medicines.

How to Use the Images Drawing 1
Drawing 1
Cartoon 1: The Washington Monument
during the Civil War.
This 1862 cartoon comes from Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, which had a large circulation during the 19th century.
Questions for Cartoon 1
1. Why would the site have been used as a cattle pen?
2. Why do you think the cartoonist used the title "Beef Depot Monument"?
3. Why do you think the newspaper included this image and this title?
* The images on the screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Cartoon 1, but be aware that the file will take as much as 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Infant/Child Mental Health, Early Intervention, & Relationship-Based Therapies: A Neurorelational Framework for Interdisciplinary Practice directly addresses this lack of cohesion among disciplines. Connie Lillas and Janiece Turnbull offer a unifying, interdisciplinary framework based on current neuroscience research into how infants and children develop in the context of relationships and their surroundings. This conceptual framework is organized according to four brain systems, each representing a set of individual and relational functions that acknowledges the unique contributions from each discipline, while also presenting guiding principles that are applicable across disciplines and methods of theory and practice. The authors also offer specific, practical applications of their approach throughout the book to assist in assessment and intervention: each brain system includes clearly defined treatment strategies as well as a case study drawn from and based on the authors' clinical practice.

It brings the part-to-whole model into perspective."

Maryland's health secretary said Friday he supports a measure to create a commission to oversee a medical marijuana program in the state at academic research centers, with some changes to clarify that the state could shut it down if the legal landscape changes at the federal level.
The support expressed by Secretary Joshua Sharfstein marks a shift in Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration, which supported the concept in principle last year but opposed the bill due to concerns about potential federal prosecution of state employees.
"I think this is a bill that provides some common ground,'' Sharfstein told lawmakers at a hearing.
Sharfstein noted that last year, it was unclear how the U.S. officials would react to enforcing federal law relating to marijuana use. On Friday, he said federal officials have not prosecuted state employees for dispensing medical marijuana.
The secretary said the O'Malley administration would support the bill with amendments, including one that would clarify the state could pay for a public employee's defense, if he or she were charged by federal officials.
"So to the extent that state employees are out doing this and they run into problems with the federal government, the state should be able to pay for their defense,'' Sharfstein said.
The dispensing of marijuana likely wouldn't take place for two years, after about a year of planning how the program would work, Sharfstein said.
The measure is being sponsored by Delegate Dan Morhaim (D-Baltimore County).
The bill would create a commission to oversee the program at academic medical centers. The measure would spell out who would be eligible to receive marijuana under specifically defined medical circumstances. It also would include monitoring provisions and fees, as well as data collection.
Morhaim underscored that the measure would not create marijuana parlors or stores or open-air dispensaries.
"It would be the tightest and most controlled of any state in an academic research setting,'' Morhaim said.
Maryland residents face a potential $100 fine if they are caught using marijuana with a medical excuse. But critics say that still drives people whose pain could be alleviated by marijuana into alleys to buy from drug dealers and break the law.

Nice, France
Opening Soon
Nice will host the very best IRONMAN elite athletes on the planet on the weekend of September 7-8, 2019, as well as some of the most-committed age-group competitors from all corners of the globe. In total, an estimated 6,000 participants will descend on the French Riviera.
Although it will be the first time the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship has been held in France, the tourist-hotspot of Nice has been hosting IRONMAN races since 2005 and is one of the destinations most-loved by athletes of all abilities.
