Row80 check in
I hadn't been doing so well on my healthy eating goals, so I decided to do a "reboot" this week. Monday and Tuesday were both perfect. John easily swayed me into ordering pizza for dinner tonight by saying "hey, do you want to order pizza for dinner tonight?" I have only one response to that question. But, that was dinner--breakfast, snack and lunch were better. Total so far this week: 92%. That's an "A," baby! Yeah!
This is a Blog Hop.

Printed Tank Top is such a huge trend as of the moment.I noticed this trend from browsing looks from the top menswear blogger, David Guison.I also noticed this trend from the recent rave parties and music festivals that I joined this year.It's very practical yet stylish because you gonna be all soak in sweat while jumping to the ocean of crown.
But for ours that has a restricted dress code in their workplace or those who are not confident to pull this off, you can still wear this article-of-the-moment by wearing a button-down shirt or a cardigan and let it open in front so it'll show the prints of the tank top
I spotted this tank top from Tee Culture, an exclusive clothing line for teens available in SM Store.Actually, I spotted this on sale, from 350pesos, I got it for only 175pesos.

The Record Collectorby Sean O'Toole / 01.06.2011
Siemon Allen is possibly all of the following: artist, collector, archivist, audiophile, conceptualist hoarder, Durbanite, expatriate, prankster, rehabilitated Hardy Boys reader and REM fan, diligent correspondent, and – yes – nerd. He is also really tall and affable. No pretence whatsoever.
Currently based in Richmond, Virginia, where he is a visiting professor in the Department of Sculpture + Extended Media at Virginia Commonwealth University, Allen is one of three South African artists appearing on the South African pavilion at this year's Venice Biennale. It is a major accolade, deserved too, notwithstanding the details surrounding the commissioning process that led to his selection, alongside fellow exhibitors Mary Sibande and Lyndi Sales.
Allen is presenting two projects, both of which reveal his profound interest in local music and audio. Some biography.
"I have been collecting records since high school," Allen told me in an interview last year, shortly before his star turn at the Joburg Art Fair, "and think that I am drawn to both the music and what I would regard as the audio carrier/object – the discs, the packaging etc."
"Some of my earliest memories of playing around with my records come from when I was about 15 or so. I would lay them all out in a series of grids across my bedroom floor, almost like an installation. The first time I made an 'artwork' with one of my CDs was in 1993 when I exhibited "Compact Disc" at the ICA in Johannesburg. The show featured a number of display works with artefacts culled from my own middle-class experience, including my childhood stamp collection, a set of Hardy Boys books, Doc Marten Shoes and an REM CD."
Kendell Geers described this display as "a penetrating and incisive social critique comparable in contemporary terms with Hogarth".
A continental change of address has not altered his interest in music or the habit of digging through second-hand record stacks in thrift stores. It was while rummaging through one of these piles that he one day unexpectedly found some records by Miriam Makeba and began listening to them.
Siemon Allen, His Master's Voice, 2010, Epson HD ink on Hahnemühle Museum Etching Fine Art Paper on Sintra, 78″ x 78″, gordonschachatcollection
"There were a number of other South African artists that I had been listening to over the years – Philip Tabane, Malombo, Sipho Gumede, Kalahari Surfers, Lesego Rampolokeng – but with the Makeba records I was intrigued with how the liner notes often carried political, anti-apartheid messages. I became interested in how her music and image operated in creating a broader awareness of apartheid for an international audience."
Drawing on his extensive collection of her recordings – 8 rpm discs, vinyl records, singles, 4-track reel-to-reel tapes, 8-track cartridges, cassette tapes, compact discs, and a number of other rare items such as a steel and acetate demo recording – he created a large installation, which he titled Makeba! (2007). This project in turn led Allen to expand his collection into other South African music, examples of which form the basis of his two works in Venice.
"My South African vinyl collection has grown to be quite extensive," he told me. "I must have about 800 LP records, maybe 500 singles and at least 600 78 rpm shellac discs. It is the damaged and worn shellac discs that I have been most interested in recently." He initially made three detailed scanned enlargements of individual records. Clive Kellner, an old friend from Durban and curator of collector Gordon Schachat's art collection, liked what he saw. He asked Allen to expand the series, who then produced 12 large-scale reproductions of rare and damaged South African records for exhibition at the 2010 Joburg Art Fair. Five of these prints are currently on show in Venice. "Ironically most record collectors throw damaged records away but to me they were the most appealing."
Siemon Allen, Zon-o-phone, 2010, Epson HD ink on Hahnemühle Museum Etching Fine Art Paper on Sintra, 78″ x 78″, gordonschachatcollection
Mahala: Which particular five 'Records' prints are you showing in Venice?
Siemon Allen: I will be showing Tempo, Better, Rave, His Master's Voice, and Zonophone.
Will it be the same scale as seen at the Joburg Art Fair?
Yes, they will be the same scale: 200 cm x 200 cm x 5 cm. In fact they are from the same print edition, which is a limited edition of 2 + 1 artist proof. Gordon Schachat purchased the South African edition and those were the twelve prints on show at the Joburg Art Fair. I am showing five of the 12 from the artist's proof edition in Venice.
When the work showed in Joburg last year, what sort of responses did you personally receive?
The response was very positive. Many viewers commented on the scale of the prints and were curious about how they were produced. Quite a few viewers assumed that they were three-dimensional objects and could not believe they were prints – hence the tendency to touch as if to confirm the nature of their surface. The images are printed in two sheets on an Epson 44" HDR inkjet printer and each is heat mounted onto a single sheet of Sintra. I also received many comments about how the scanning process produced such detail remarking on the scratches and wear. Often scanned dirt and scratches were mistaken for actual blemishes.
There were also many questions about the sources of the prints. As you know they are all scans from my collection of South African audio. And it was interesting to see how many people were unfamiliar with the artists, the labels and the general audio history the series refers to.
These conversations affirmed for me a related project that I was working on simultaneously – that is a non-profit visual archive of the South African record collection in the form of a searchable database and website. See www.flatinternational.org
Siemon Allen, Tempo, 2010, Epson HD ink on Hahnemühle Museum Etching Fine Art Paper on Sintra, 78″ x 78″, gordonschachatcollection
The 'Records' work has no audio component, as I understand and encountered it. Have you ever considered incorporating an audio element?
Good question! I go back and forth on this. It is odd that the 'Records' prints and many of the works that developed out of the record collection do not include sound. Considering that I have over the years made audio works and that I am very invested in the sound from this archive whether that be music or speeches or other audio material.
Like the woven videotape that contains information that is inaccessible, the Records prints do refer to sound, but essentially are silent images. In some ways the sound is many times removed from its 'original' utterance. First in the recording studio where the artist is framed by the engineer, turning the 'single voice' into a mass-produced, commodity object. Then in the art studio where that object is re-framed and turned into an image. The image now sits in an odd position referring not only to the artist, their music, the records that they produced, that were consumed, collected and moved all over the world; but also to the loss of that history and the 'original' sound.
I have original in quotes because there is much debate on what constitutes original in recording theory. Some advocate that there is no such thing as an "original sound". In other words all generations of the sound are themselves 'new' individual sounds. That a recording bares some resemblance to an earlier utterance is an illusion constructed by the recording industry – remember "audio fidelity", etc. By further re-framing the sound object in the prints, in some ways, I hoped to allude to this philosophical debate.
Siemon Allen, Rave, 2010, Epson HD ink on Hahnemühle Museum Etching Fine Art Paper on Sintra, 78″ x 78″, gordonschachatcollection
But still I am ambivalent about the non-inclusion of the sound in the actual installation and so have made some of it available at the flatinternational website where it can be accessed in a research context.
I have also explored the idea of including sound with the 'Makeba!' (2007) installation in the form of a user-accessible iPod that acts like a jukebox in the gallery space. For the most part though, I have been interested in the images and text that accompanies the audio material. Much of my work developed from the collection deals with the audio commodity as carrier of information that operates as supporting document or subtest to the sound. Finally, there is something really important to me about the silence of the prints.
Aside from 'Records' what else will you be showing in Venice?
A new installation piece. It is an opportunity for me to work with the particulars of the space, which is essentially a tower with extreme verticality that has an open wooden staircase. The building itself – the Torre di Porta Nuova at the Arsenale Nuovissimo – is an incredible site and was built in 1811, and for that reason does pose some logistical challenges
The 'Labels' installation is a 13.5-meter high, 3.8-meter wide semi-transparent curtain supporting a staggered grid of over 2500 digital prints (125 x 125 mm each) of scanned record labels. From afar the work will appear as a tapestry conversing with the extreme verticality of the space and partially masking the original, now-unused wooden staircase. Up close the curtain will reveal itself as a configuration of scanned labels. The work functions as a historical record, a chronological discography of select labels from the entire archive of South African audio. As one looks up or "back in time" the textual information on the labels will begin to go out of focus and recede, only to be replaced by the colour-field pattern.
This work is a revisit of an earlier installation that consisted of Makeba labels and was exhibited at Bank Gallery in Durban in 2009.

You will be showing alongside two other artists, Mary Sibande and Lyndi Sales, which does change the display dynamic. To what extent do you involve yourself in, or stipulate criteria for the display of your work?
I did not stipulate so much as think about possibilities and offer these as options to the curator, Thembinkosi Goniwe. The space is not a typical white box and the unique architecture with multiple spaces has presented the participating artists with some interesting opportunities to converse with the site. I made a number of proposals but was also aware of the other artists' potential three-dimensional needs and so proposed concepts that tended to engage the walls.
When you were first asked to appear on the show, how did you feel? Happy, elated, went on a drunken binge – everyone seems to handle good news differently.
I am totally superstitious about getting too high (or low) over things! Good luck becomes bad luck, bad luck becomes good luck, you know! I was of course humbled to be asked to represent South Africa in this way. I have for sometime been doing work about the image of South Africa as constructed through various artefacts and so I was honoured to have the opportunity to present that work in this context. Work that I felt was specifically about an aspect of the country – in this case artefacts from South Africa's audio history.
With regards to the press coverage of the appointment of Monna Mokoena as commissioner, I'm curious, have you followed any of the coverage?
I had been made aware of some of the press by friends and don't know where to start to comment in a concise and sensitive manner. I understand much of the anger and suspicion of course and respect that everyone has the right to his or her opinion and feelings. It is a highly charged situation. Like all controversies this one becomes a site for all kinds of emoting about issues that are deeper and more complex than the situation that catalysed it all in the first place. There are valid questions out there but there is also quite a bit of misinformation. I do not presume to know anyone's personal motives and it seems as if the commercial and curatorial worlds are in a complex dance in any venue. All I can do at this point is to do my best to contribute to a great exhibition and to represent South Africa to the best of ability.
Siemon Allen, Better and Tempo, 2009, Epson K3 archival ink on Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper, archival tape, 80″ x 80″, gordonschachatcollection
Let me understand this properly, he scans other peoples' artwork for record labels and sleeves, presents them as a mosaic in a gallery and this is considered insightful and exciting? Now I know that this antiquated notion of "originality" is conveniently dismissable in our potmodern quagmire, but the sheer lack of it in this case surely renders the whole project somewhat lame?

I think they're recontextualised in the same way that DJ shadow will take records and create something new from their samples. I can't argue that you find them lame, because that's clearly fact, but I would suggest that in today's art world you need to make an effort yourself. You need to meet works somewhere.
What are your views on the worth of music and print media in the digital age?
Does it matter that we have harddrives full of music that we will never love anywhere near as much as the albums we used to buy before mp3s fucked that up?
Is it a good thing that we no longer print photos?
What does it mean for us that eventually identity will be a password, and all of the material possesions (albums, photos, books, films) that our parents' identities were linked to and defined by, will be replaced by hyperlinks to data on cloud servers?
That's the kind of shit I'm worried about, so for me it's reassuring to see someone who loves the physical nature of records.
I'm not going to try and convince you that what you're seeing isn't lame (to you)
I'm just saying that, since you're aware of this postmodern quagmire, it's too simple to just write this work off.
I like it

No, DJ Shadow takes discrete samples and combines them in a refreshed and more seamless way to create a new whole that is more than the sum of it's more disparate parts. There's a whole lot more to that than taking your vinyl collection and slapping it up on a wall. Is this guy an artist unto himself or just an exhibitor of a fairly limited collection of commercial art?
0 0
pointless, your name says it all
0 0
as a descriptor of Allen's efforts? I agree.
0 0
I agree with you both. To be art, perhaps we really do expect more of an effort, so I have to concur with pointless – and then its also great to have the physical reminder of old albums. I wouldn't go so far as to use the DJ Shadow analogy at all. It doesn't hold here. He truly creates something new, a new genre even.
It would be nice if he could have had a digital recording of each vinyl displayed so the observer could hear what they see, because in essence that is what he is saying Chris – our experience of music has been largely visual (static covers and album art) and this is changing rapidly. Perhaps he should have gone deeper, further and brought the two together, the sound and the picture, right back to where it all began.

It is indeed a good thing that in this age of internet conversation we have a forum for many voices to be heard on any subject – the informed and the not so informed alike. And this new opportunity for articles to be followed with (posted) comments of all kinds has the potential to foster a healthy dialogue. Still, I am amused and surprised at comments that sound so bitter and angry. How weird – indifference to work I can understand – but to rant about something you don't like seems really odd. I also am wondering if this dismissal of the work is from individuals who have not seen the work and do not know much about the labor involved in the production? As someone who has seen the work I can say that aside from the conceptual interest, there is incredible visual beauty and aesthetic merit. And on becoming more informed about the project it is evident that a great deal of effort went into the production of the work and the ongoing web data base. I just saw the work in Venice and it is impressive. So comments re: effort and saying things like " this is pointless" seem really off base to this viewer. Sorry to sound harsh – everyone is entitled to an opinion – but just had to add my observations.

Keep making work man.
I'm sure one day your natural talent will blind people to the fact that you're a wanker, and then you too can show at the biennale.
The artist seems like a straight-talking amenable dude, which in itself is a bit of a miracle in the art world. Also, the work was chosen by a curator, so this geezer Siemon was just making his work (out of a desire to see it exist) and someone approached him because they wanted to show it.
Your bitterness is misplaced.
Also you can argue that it is less of an achievement than Shadow's work (let's be honest, Endtroducing is one of the most incredible artworks this generation has seen) but if you're honest you'd admit that you haven't actually seen the work. Which is like judging DJ Shadow's songs based on looking at images of their waveforms.

http://www.flatinternational.org/ is a one-of-a-kind effort in South Africa. We DESPERATELY need more archival projects like this, which are all about highly passionate professional SHARING of our heritage. I don't know or care much whether the works in Venice are art or not, or whether others should have been shown (at this point), but what Allen is doing on flatinternational is hands-down nothing but a great service to us all – check it out, and take your time with it, too, it's really interesting, educational, fun, and in parts appropriately tragic (speaking of how local musicians, especially in jazz have not been looked after and recorded enough). Just sayin'

I do have a number of 78 RPM shellac recordings in my garage –
Due to physical restrictions, unable to record what they are. But presumably all classical.
Anyone interested in having them – give me a call.

I have Procul Harem's A Whiter Shade of Pale the full colour issue, we are down sizing and I wonder if it has any value, could you give me some idea, it is in very good condition and to the untrained eye, it has no scratches. Thank you.

I have a large collection of 78rpm shellac records from the 1950's. I have just catalogued them and can send you the list if you are interested. Have also just thrown a number of broken ones in the dustbin which I will retrieve and donate to you if you like. eg: on Tropic label – title 'Qhude' (M. Makeba) Sunbeams. I assume that's Miriam Makeba.

Hello lovelies,
So I found this sweet idea over at Bramblewood Fashion and thought I would share with you some of my favorite finds for the Fall. I know it may be early, especially if you live in the South but you see, come Fall semester I'm going back to Minnesota. If you're familiar with your geography you'll notice MN is way up north, borderline Canada! A gal like me, born and raised in the Sunshine state has to prep ahead of time for the chilly weather that starts early on. Oh and I almost forgot, last winter, which happened to be our first winter ever, was super mild compared to what's the norm so I predict that this winter will not be as kind to us warm Floridians.
I am in LOVE with this outfit for the Fall, pretty leaves on the ground and all! The dress, the leggings, the cardigan, and the socks over the leggings, I'm excited to play around with this style when the leaves start falling to the ground.
I definitely want a pair of boots like these for the Fall! They are so versatile and neutral.
The cozy sweater. <3
Hats, hats, hats! I am totally a hat girl and am super duper excited to reunite with my hat collection in the Fall. Whoooo!
Cardigans. You can never have too many. This grey color is super Fall and the bow is just lovely. Bows are in for every season of the year. They make everything girly.

In IBC's ongoing attempt to address reader questions and advice requests, I decided to do a post on something I know nothing about : clothing for people who enjoy playing sports. Last week, a reader posted the following comment on IBC's Facebook page:
Today in preppy conundrums:
What should I wear to field hockey practice?! How do I keep my sweaty hair out of my face
without looking like a douche?
Today in MvB conundrums: what is field hockey again? Is that like lacrosse? That's lacrosse, right? Wait. What's lacrosse again? Is that like rugby with sticks or something?
That reader's question prompted a thread wherein many readers expressed confusion about how to look good while participating in everything from yoga, to Crossfit, to belly dancing. One reader even articulated a deeply-held suspicion of shorts in general (stay tuned for a post on Wed. about only this).
Before I begin, you should know–if you don't by now–that I have no experience what-so-ever with sporty things. I've often been heard saying that I only want to run if something's chasing me, and by that I mean a rabid animal or some other immanent threat. Somewhat ironically, I'm actually a really good runner. After a random race day in 7th grade gym class in which it became apparent that I could sprint like a motherfucker, my gym teacher tried relentlessly to get me to join the track team. I relentlessly declined because I found that being a shy, flat-chested girl with strange interests and a boy's name in junior high meant that I was already exhausted from running emotionally from the verbal jabs of my crappy peers. I didn't need to spend time with them outside of school, too.
Last year I won $10 when my boss bet me that I couldn't run full speed from the bottom of Octavia St. all the way to the top without slowing down or throwing up. For those of you not familiar with the San Francisco city landscape, Octavia St. is a street in Hayes Valley that for 3 blocks has a constant uphill grade that LOOKS slight, but has been the downfall of many a casual city cyclist. I ran from the bottom to the top without slowing down or throwing up and walked away with $10 and a comedic sense of pride. A little like when I wrote a haiku about my number one junior high bully that successfully publicly humiliated him and put an end to his teasing. I WIN!
Now, sports clothing advice!
For activities that involve running
It seems that many sports involve running. This includes field hockey, which after some research I discovered is literally hockey played on a field instead of on ice. Makes sense! So, the reader who posted on FB wanted to know what to wear to field hockey practice and how to keep her sweaty hair out of her face.
Let's start with what to wear to practice. I already suggested these sweatpant-esque shorts:
Along the same lines are these other sweatpants shorts:
There's also always Nike, who makes some surprisingly decent looking sportswear.
If you're looking for a whole outfit, then take a look at vintage sporting photos. It used to be that people always looked good when they were engaged in sweaty activities.
So buy this:
And this to go on top:
Or head over to REI and buy this simple runners shirt (says it handles moisture like a dream):
Or you could just buy this whole amazing outfit and hope your team doesn't notice that you have the wrong name AND sport referenced on your practice clothes.
As for keeping your sweaty hair out of your face, I always like a good headband. Here are a couple that look pretty decent:
Really, though, you should get a plain headband and then have it personalized in some way, because that would be the most badass.
Other outfit options include:
Activities that are yoga.
Yoga is something I have steered clear of for a long time because everyone talks about it and the more people talk about it, the less inclined I am to do it. Particularly because if I'm not going to sit in meditation for 8 hours, I'm not going to stretch as though I'm about to. Breathing, exercise (poses), meditation. But then, I'm a suspicious personality in general, and if it's a physical activity of some kind that has a vocal following, I'm even more suspicious.
So, yoga. What happens there? You sweat a lot and you need clothes that can withstand bodily contortions and bizarre poses, yes?
Here is a truth: yoga pants don't look good on anyone. Even the supremely physically fit.
This Hindu priest and Yogi, on the other hand, looks awesome:
Now, again, I've never tried yoga, but it seems to me that you'd be better off going with the Yogi's idea of what to wear (though to be fair, there are A LOT of loin cloth scenarios when you look at actual Yogis), and go with some lightweight linen, drawstring pants.
If you're worried about your pant legs flopping around, then go with this sort of deal:
Or better yet, this:
As for up top, just go with whatever's comfortable, right? A nice cotton t-shirt in a pleasant color, runners shirt to sop up moisture, etc.
Activities that are Crossfit.
What is Crossfit? I think those are the people I see running down the street carrying strange objects of varying weights. At least they come out of a re-purposed mechanic's shop that says "CROSSFIT."
Honestly, I can't imagine anything working better for this sort of activity than a striped tank top and black shorts. Or, when the weather's colder, a striped shirt and black pants.
When looking for anything striped, I hit surf shop sites first. LOOK:
Then… BOARD SHORTS:
Or nice sweat shorts (see top of post again):
As someone not really interested in sports that don't involve a horse or a deadly weapon, it seems to me that the biggest block to being able to feel like you look good aesthetically when you're doing your sport or exercise is group think– the downfall of nearly everything awesome. For example, since I'm not doing any of these activities, I don't think about what everyone else is wearing or what you're supposed to wear according to retail marketing. Instead I think "well, what would you need to do during these activities and what sort of clothes can you get from all over that would serve that function?" Sort of like how one summer a few years ago, I couldn't find any swimsuits I liked, so I just wore underwear from American Apparel. Bikini…underwear… there's BARELY a difference. Throw on a pair of giant sunglasses and people just think you're a hungover rebel who doesn't care that she's wearing underwear to the beach. Or at least, that's how I rationalized it.
You don't need to go to yoga pants stores to be able to find pants that would be comfortable for your yoga activities. And if you're willing to not look like everyone else coming out of the yoga studio, you can find clothes that suit who you are as a person. And as with most things, I think it's useful to leave the present and return to the source if you're in need of inspiration. Yogis invented yoga, so they likely have a better idea of what works for that activity, than say, anyone who didn't invent yoga.
As for the belly dance question… I'm sorry. I just couldn't figure out a good solution for that one.
Stay tuned for Wednesday when I will convince another reader of why shorts are AWESOME.

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen (Simon & Shuster, 2016)
A review by Bill Kelly
Bruce Springsteen's autobiography Born to Run is on the streets.
I didn't stand in line with the other 4,000 fans to get an autographed copy, a selfie and thirty seconds to shake hands and exchange words with the Boss, but if I did I would have told Bruce to get an index, as every serious work of non-fiction should have one.
I wanted to read Springsteen's book for a number of reasons - to see who his ghost writer is, to hear what he has to say about a few particular people, to see if there were any key South Jersey connections and to find any personal associations between my life and his, as we both grew up Jersey Shore Guys at the same time.
But without an index as a search guide I couldn't "research," cut to the chase, cheat or read the Cliff Notes, and would just have to buckle down in the front seat, riding shotgun on the passenger side, and read it, all 510 pages with color photo supplement.
I also wanted to know if this was to be like a Billie Holiday or Howard Hughes imaginative autobio or more like Dylan's (Volume 1), that actually answers some questions and at least tries to get to the heart of things, which in this case cuts close to home.
I didn't have to look far for a South Jersey connection - there on the front cover is Frank Stefano's 1978 black and white photo of Bruce in front of Stefano's Haddonfield home, leaning against his $6,000 1964 Corvette convertible, as if waiting for you to take that long walk from the front porch to his front seat - let the screen door slam, and the trip begin.
As Bruce explains it he met Frank Stefano through Patti Smith, another South Jersey connection, and they're both in the book.
But like Dylan's auto bio it isn't always who you mention but who you leave out, and a few prominent names go unmentioned – like for instance President Obama and Governor Chris Christie, both big fans on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Bruce backed Obama for President, campaigned for him and sang at his inaugural, but like Sinatra and JFK, they apparently had a falling out. It was the other way around with Christie, who gets first row seats to Bruce concerts, but was snubbed by the boss until after hurricane Sandy, when Christie moved beyond party politics and gained Bruce's admiration, however temporary. Both understandable snuffs.
If Dylan is the conscience of our generation, then Bruce is the spirit, and both are the only living contenders to Walt Whitman's title of America's unofficial Poet Laureate. And there's an affinity between them that's quite evident, and there paths would cross down the road a number of times, most notably when Bruce introduced Bob to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But they also were at Sinatra's funeral together and met a number of times privately and Bob probably edges out Bruce on influence and seniority.
The answer to the first question is the Ghost Writer is Bruce himself, and it isn't hard to imagine the person who penned "Blinded by the Light," "Thunder Road," "Born to Run" and "Spirits in the Night" could write a complete sentence and put the story into words and paragraphs instead of rhymes and rhythms.
"Madman, drummers, bummers, Indians in the summer, with a teenage diplomat…- The screen door slams. Mary's dress waves like a vision she dances across the porch…- In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream. At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines. Sprung from cages on highway nine, chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line…- Crazy Janey and her mission man were back in the alley traden' hands, 'long came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man all duded up for Saturday night. Well, Billy slammed on his coaster breaks and said, 'Anybody wanna go up to Greasy Lake? It's about a mile on the dark side of Route 88 I got a bottle of rose so let's try it…."
They're well baited hooks that grab you and the take you for a ride that feels like magic.
But it isn't reassuring to read his opening line of his book - "I come from a boardwalk town where almost everything is tinged with a bit of fraud. So am I a member in good standing amongst those who 'lie' in the service of truth...But I had four aces in youth, a decade of bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians attuned to my performance style, and a story to tell."
And a story to tell it is indeed, but only one we've heard through his songs and music, and by others, not from the man himself, and he warns us from the get go that he's a bit of a fraud and will 'lie' in the service of truth, so hold on to your hats and keep your elbows in the window.
As one fan told him, after hours in line, he got his 30 seconds with the Boss and said, - "You know Bruce, if this book thing doesn't work out you can always write songs."
And for the millions of Bruce fans who grew up with him, it's time to jump into his skin and rewind the ride from the front porch, - beginning with the typical family problems everyone experiences, skipping high school graduation to go to the Village, getting evicted from Freehold, Greetings from Asbury Park when it was still the pits, back and forth up and down E-Street a few times, on to world tours and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame up to now. And the rides not over yet.
You don't have to read it from beginning to end but can pick it up anywhere you are interested and it will still make sense - it is in chronological order, until the end, when he regurgitates some of the early feelings that were hard to express early on, such as how he found his voice, realized it wasn't so hot, and knew he had to overcome that with other finer attributes, like spirit, style and a little magic.
The book is written in a bare bones Hemingwayesque prose much like the parting note - in case you didn't know - "About the Author: Bruce Springsteen has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the New Jersey Hall of Fame. He is the recipient of twenty Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, and the Kennedy Center Honors. He lives in New Jersey with his family. For more information go to www.brucespringsteen.net."
Just as a local newspaper columnist complained about Springsteen fever, - he just didn't get it, you have to understand the music to appreciate it, or appreciate it to understand it – as they go hand in hand.
Bruce is well known as a Jersey Guy, but like Frank (Sinatra) and Jack (Nicholson) and Joe (Piscopo), they are NORTH Jersey Guys - with closer affinities to New York and are Giants, Devils and Mets fans, rather than the South Jersey connection to Philly and Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers and Phillies fans. There is a difference, and I know of only a few occasions when Bruce ventured down and performed south of Toms River. He did it early in his career at the Earlton Lounge bowling alley in Cherry Hill and the Satellite Lounge in Wrightstown, both of which get a mentioned in the book.
The Satellite gets a whole chapter because the gig was the first for a new drummer, and the owner threatened to kill Bruce if he reneged on his contract and didn't play, but would love him if he did. Greg Gregory of Somers Point was a Temple student and bartender at the Satellite and recalls charging Bruce a dollar for a beer.
Early in his career Bruce also played Ocean and Burlington Community College gigs, that put him just over the Jersey Mason-Dixon Line.
Then there was the time in 1988 Bruce sat in and jammed on a few songs with Jackson Browne on the makeshift stage in the parking lot of Bally's casino in Atlantic City, the first and only time Bruce has ever played a casino.
Then there was the 2002 Rising Tour show at Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall, but that's pretty much it.
Bruce is a North Jersey Guy, who made it in New York mainly through the efforts of his agent and promoter Mike Apple and John Hammond, Sr., who signed him to CBS Records, both of whom are seriously dealt with in the book.
But he also acknowledges the Delaware Valley fans were the first to really embrace him, with a tip of the hat to David Dye (now at World Cafe WXPN) and Ed Sciaky both acknowledged.
Another local South Jersey Shore music writer Kurt Loder of Ocean City gave a five star Rolling Stone magazine review of Springsteen's The Rising album, and David Kamp writes a flattering cover story profile of Bruce in Vanity Fair that refers to Bruce's suffering year-long bouts of depression, that some attribute to his alcoholic father, who was hot and cold with his kids and packed up and moved to California in 1969, leaving behind 19 year old Bruce and 17 year old daughter with child.
While his Italian mother was full of love and family, maybe it was his salt and fire Irish father who inspired Bruce to pick up the guitar and believe he could, like the Beatles and the Stones, make a living playing rock and roll.
As Bruce said in his R&R Hall of Fame speech, "I've gotta thank him because – what would I have conceivably written about without him? I mean, you can imagine that if everything had gone great between us, we would have had disaster. I would have written just happy songs – and I tried it in the early '90s and it didn't work; the public didn't like it."
More so were the influences of Sinatra, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, all of whom he would cross paths with down the road, after his mother bought him a $60 guitar and he began to play with local garage and bar bands.
Bouncing around for years, playing with a series of bar bands – The Castiles, Steel Mill, Earth, Dr. Zoom & the Sonic Boom, Sundance Blues Band, until he gets the Bruce Springsteen Band together in 1971 and as with the evolving E-Street Band, there's no disputing who is the boss, though they did get a big boost from Mike Apple, who signed Bruce to contracts as an individual - not as a band, and in 1972 he got Bruce the audition with John Hammond, Jr., the legendary CBS Records A&R man who signed Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Bruce.
While Dave Marsh wrote the 1998 Born to Run biography - you can't copyright a title - it was another music journalist Jon Landau who wrote "I saw rock and roll future and its name is Bruce Springsteen." Landau then stepped in as a producer who gave Bruce the advice and direction he needed to go even further, and his role is well amplified in the book.
Some of the stories Bruce tells make the book – like the time they travel onto the Indian reservation in the Southwest, where they found Thunder Road, the time they got thrown out of Disney Land because Steve Van Zant wouldn't take off his bandana, how he met Patti his second wife at the Stone Pony, how he met Sinatra through Patti's pedicurist, and Dylan and Jack Nicholson at Frank's funeral.
The business end of things wasn't his major interest and making a lot of money not a motive, but making the magic in the performance was - and he honed his band to do it right, night after night, and they pretty much did.
Bruce says that outside the bouts of depression, he only felt he lost the magic a few times – first when he played his first large scale stadium show in Ireland, then at a Madison Square Garden show when he performed "American Skin," about the police killing of a young black boy, to which the police benevolent association took exception, and then while practicing for the E-Street Band revival after 10 years hiatus.
The last time, after weeks of practice behind closed doors in the Asbury Park Convention Hall, Bruce felt the music was dull, uninspiring and the spirit lacking, until he opened the doors and let the fans waiting outside in.
Suddenly he came to life, looked into the faces of the fans who expected magic, and he reached back and found it - just as he found it in Ireland and at the Garden, the fans provided the missing ingredient that mad the magic - just add love.
They get it.
And for the fans, old or new, who read this book, who get in the car with Bruce, they too will get it, and go back, back to Greasy Lake, drink the rose wine, dance under the stars and among the lightning bugs, fairies and the fell the magic in the spirits in the night, the magic that Bruce has brought us over these many years, a trip that's still unfolding, as the magic is still there, if you want it. Just get in and go for a ride with Bruce behind the wheel.

Truth be told, my husband and I are not big on Valentine's Day. I love the decor for the house with all the reds and pinks and sparkles, but that aside...eh.
So today we are staying in, eating sweet pink sparkly treats, chocolate desserts and doing a whole lot of nothing-but looking super cute doing it!
Have a great Valentine's Day, no matter how you spend it!

President Hudson Valley Old Time Power Assn. 434 Millbrook Road, Hudson, New York 12534
The 1928 Snow-Go Snowblower was built by the Klauer Manufacturing Company of Dubuque, Iowa.
In the fall of 1996-1997 the club received this Sno-Go. The chassis had been sitting outside for at least 15-18 years and the cab was pretty well rotted and most paint gone from all the metal parts. All wood pieces were removed from the chassis and saved for later measurements. The local sandblast man came in and sandblasted the complete chassis, fuel tank, metal parts, motor, transmission, and differential. Tom Birch of Birch's Sandstorm did the job. Tom then cleaned the complete chassis of all dirt and sanded and primed everything.
The cab fortunately was built on its own frame, thus we were able to remove that cab frame and put it into a heated garage and the rest of the chassis was pushed into an unheated garage. Fortunately that fall was pretty mild, so we were able to do some work on the chassis.
The engine is a 1200 cubic inch Climax R6U, 6 cylinder, 6 inch x 7 inch stroke, a magneto and a distributor, dual ignition. We put in two new batteries and some gas and we decided to start it. It turned over several times, made one explosion and then backfired. We pulled some of the spark plugs and noticed that some of the valves were sticking open. We removed the valve lifter covers from the side of the block and sprayed the valve guides with penetrating oil from the side and through the spark plug holes.
With the help of a hammer and a real small stick we tapped the valves down, turned the motor over, tapped the valves down again until finally we had them all freed up. We then put the spark plugs back in and turned the motor over with the starter, and lo and behold, it started and was running. It had good oil pressure. An unbelievable amount of old oil, penetrating oil, birds' nests and soot came out of the exhaust pipe and went all over us. We decided that the valves had to be pulled out, the seats refaced, and the engine generally cleaned up inside. This was done; now the engine runs real good.
All pieces of the wood cab have been replaced with all new wood, mostly oak. Some of the old wood was measured, but most new wood pieces were made from old pictures and a picture from Klauer Manufacturing Company.
When we first got the blower, I made a call to Klauer Manufacturing Company in Dubuque, Iowa. I told them Hudson Valley Old Time Power was restoring machine number 30 and would like all information we could get. They presented me with the original line setting ticket.
By March of 1997 we had built a new cab using all safety glass in windows, new roof covering, painted in harvest gold paint. A club member, John Daniels, used his backhoe to help us remove the cab from the shop, lift the cab and sit it on the chassis.
The clutch for the snowblower had rusted fast. We completely took the unit apart, sandblasted it, used penetrating oil and persuasion and finally got it apart.
The Sno-Go has a 175 gallon fuel tank which kind of shows us the fuel consumption. A former operator said they refueled it every two to two and a half hours when working.
The Sno-Go was purchased new in December of 1928 by the Columbia County New York Highway Department and was used until the early 1970s. It was sold at an auction in 1976. Mr. Robert Hunter purchased it then and in 1997 decided to give it to the Hudson Valley Old Time Power Association.
We were fortunate in that the radiator had only one small leak. One small can of K&W radiator seal took care of that and we now have permanent antifreeze in it. This could have been a $2000 repair job, had this radiator been totally gone.
The augers on the front of the snowblower are 7 feet 10 inches wide and stand about 41/2 feet high. We have the mechanisms for the top of the blower which can be used for loading trucks. The blower could actually go out and work today.
The machine is known as the 'AlaskanHusky.'

Just dropping in to show off a hat and bootie set I made as a gift for a baby shower this weekend. It's lovely to make something in girl colours for a change! I'm totally in love with the pastel shades of this wool. It's girly but not overwhelmingly pink!
(Incidentally, this is the yarn I bought when I entered the wool competition! I guess it was a worthwhile trip!)
The hat is knit in my favourite hat pattern "Simple Striped Baby Hat" by A la Sascha. I altered the brim a little by using a knit, knit, purl rib. It's also the first hat I've knit almost perfectly with circular needles! And now I've got the hang of the double pointed needles, I was totally fine switching to do my crown decreases! You can easily knit up one of these hats in an afternoon (if you have a couple hours uninterrupted!)
The boots are the Oh Baby! Baby Booties by JudyDDKnits. They knit up so quickly and always so neat when finished. These are in the newborn size so they're pretty tiny! I also added a singlet crochet edge to the top of the cuff so when folded over it carries through the coloured wool. I've made these quite a few times now, they look so cosy and I think they should stay on tiny feet really well too.
Linking in with Sugar Crumbs this week for Just Create June. Be sure to check out all the projects created this week!

I've been toying with the idea of changing the name of my game Nuclear Graveyard (again), since it has nothing to do with anything nuclear, and even less to do with graveyards. The reason I chose it was because I got a DynDns domain name, and I chose "ng" as the prefix to the standard domain "game-host.org". I chose NG as I was thinking of the phrase "network game", since at the time I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do with it! I then decided to give my new (at the time) game the initials "NG", and the rest is history.
I have toyed with the idea of giving it the ridiculous name "Space Nazis", just to see if it would perk up interest. However, this would be misleading as most people would expect some wacky platformer or something, whereas Nuclear Graveyard is a 3D multi-player "serious" strategy FPS game.
I might just change it back to its original name "Laser Squad 3D", since that sums it up perfectly if you remember the original Laser Squad game. I think it's a bit of a cliche to add "3D" to the end of a game's name though, which is why I changed it in the first place.
So, watch this space...

Thanks for the suggestions; I think I'm going to go with "Laser Tactics".

Glad I could help. It's a good thing not to have gone with a controversial name. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity but that isn't really true - people can be quite hateful over these kind of issues and you don't want to be on the receiving end of it.

Hi! Amber from I love you to the moon here! So happy to show you a few of my favorite tips for spicing up an outfit. My favorite thing to add to allllmost any outfit is a belt. Chunky belts, skinny belts, bright belts, belts belts belts! I love them. I'd say probably 90% of my belts are thrifted for about a buck a piece.
Boots also have a special place in my heart. Seriously, just having a few different pairs of boots and a few different belts can make you feel like you have a whole new wardrobe.
Today, I started out with this dress –
Simple and black
Threw on a mint green belt. I'm telling you, Goodwill knows where it's at in the belt department!
Then knee highs and boots!
And a cardigan to add a lil color and cover up my arms for work. :]
I've totally worn this same dress with a chunky gray belt and red boots, orange belt and purple heels, and yellow belt and gray wedges. So many different ways to mix simple lil dresses up!
Thank you for having me over to your adorable corner of the internet, Michelle!
Hope you ladies are having a wonderful week!

Excerpt from The Miracle of Fasting – Chapter 3
Click book title for more information.
Prudently assume, that your condition is one of autointoxication. If you feel your energy is at a low ebb, and not up to par, go on a short fast lasting from 24 hours to 3 or 4 days. Drink nothing but pure, steam distilled water. I will tell you more about water later. You will experience a craving for food, but not an actual hunger. It's the body reflexes that are accustomed to being fed at certain intervals. Again let me state, "Flesh is dumb!" It has all kinds of cravings, but you must be its master. You must control your entire body with your mind – your human miracle computer. I readily admit that fasting takes immense determination and willpower.
I remember very well my first 4 day fast. It was while I was under the care of the famous Dr. A. Rollier at his sanitarium in Switzerland. I was battling for my life with tuberculosis and I had been at the sanitarium for several months. Dr. Rollier told me it was going to be a great experience – and it surely was! The good doctor told me to study my urine daily, so each day I took a specimen of my urine and kept it in a bottle. I put it on a shelf in my room and I would look at the specimens each day. As the urine would cool and settle I could see the great amount of foreign matter that was leaving my body.
As soon as I finished the fast, I was placed on a highly alkaline diet with an abundance of fresh fruits and raw and lightly steamed or baked vegetables. About 2 weeks after the fast, I experienced a sense of exhilaration and well-being that I had never known in my entire life! From that time on my health and vitality grew by leaps and bounds! That was not my only fast under Dr. Rollier's supervision. He started me out with a 24 hour weekly fast and in the next 9 months, put me on a 7, 14 and 21 day fast. Between fasts I was fed an alkaline diet.

How Is Lot Advantageous In Different Ways And Fields?
The term IoT is now used extensively in different fields. Chiefly it is related to the internet and the various devices and gadgets used to collect and exchange information or data. IoT stands for Internet of Things. It is a network of closely or even remotely connected devices or gadgets for collection and exchange of data. Various types of gadgets or devices are used under IoT reports and systems. Some of the major devices include electronic devices, software, sensors etc. The data may be gathered and exchanged from the internal network or even from external public sources. Since IoT uses a closed connected network therefore information travels at an alarming speed and hence paces up the entire process or task. It is worth noting that IoT is proving to be beneficial in different ways and fields as discussed hereunder.
Improvement in quality of life- IoT reports and systems prove to be especially beneficial in the healthcare sector. Use of various types of connected devices and apps helps doctors and patients to keep a close watch over their health condition. It helps in proper treatment and prevention of various diseases. Even patients are engaged in self-care with the use of IoT system. The patients may take necessary precautions to live life in a better way.
Smarter home with IoT apps- IoT apps help in converting your sweet home into a smarter home. It is because you may keep a close watch over every corner of your home even when you are outside. All this has been made possible due to IoT apps only. The home owners may even identify any issues with various home appliances and hence take apt corrective measures for the same.
Alert about possible dangers- The devices or gadgets used under IoT system also helps in detection and prevention of any possible dangers or threats to their lives, properties or assets. It is possible due to use of remote sensors that make homeowners or other property-owners alert about any types of dangers or threats to their lives or properties. There are various types of sensors that may make you alert against different types of dangers such as fire, floods, short circuits or even burglars.
Energy efficiency- Numbers of apps and devices are under IoT reports and systems that help consumers to save energy. It is done by using controllers for various devices to keep a tab over temperatures, heat energy and insulation systems. It helps in saving lots of energy which is otherwise wasted due to lack of proper controlling systems. The controllers used under IoT systems can even be operated from remote places.
Safety on road- Use of connected cars and various apps in cars help in ensuring safety of the drivers and their vehicles on the road. It is because the apps used in the cars connected via IoT devices help in making the drivers alert about possible dangers on the roads or from other vehicles.
Conclusion: So we have seen that IoT is proving to be advantageous in various fields and ways. There are many more ways by which IoT can be utilized.

As far as redneck, anti-gay rants go, the one "Duck Dynasty's" Phil Robertson laid on GQ, while uncomfortably clinical, was pretty tame. And, if you've ever watched the show (or visited the South), not all that surprising. Nevertheless, the comments kicked off a blazing firestorm that led to his suspension from the popular A&E show.
Robertson defended himself: "I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."
Now, there's a groundswell of support for the patriarch. Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal was one of the many notables chiming in. "Phil Robertson and his family are great citizens of the State of Louisiana. The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with," he said in a statement.
And, of course, Sarah Palin would never let an opportunity like this pass her by:
Even Barack Obama stood up for the show: "The Duck Dynasty family seems like a pretty fun bunch," he said. Oh wait, that was before the controversy flared up.
Let's get back to the aftermath, where the pro-Robertson Facebook page has already garnered more than half a million likes and the #IStandwithPhil hashtag is trending bigtime on Twitter. Here's a representative sampling:
Does Phil Robertson deserve getting booted from the show, or are you more inclined to join the Jindal/Palin camp on this one?

::::: The skins with the first 2 faces are out at my main store in Le Zoo.
Emily has a sweet and friendly face with curvy glossy lips and a hint of a smile.
Celeste is cool and stylish with subdued, natural lips and intrigueing eyes.
They are available in 3 skin tones. Each makeup comes with 4 eyebrow colors, freckled and non-freckled versions and tintable pubic hair layers.
A little note on the skins: I draw my lips smaller on the skin template than most skin makers do, so chances are you'll have to increase your lip width a bit to compensate.
I'm working on more makeups for Emily and Celeste and new faces, so stay tuned ^^.

Although our family has been a Napa Valley grape-growing family for over 100 years, it wasn't until 1997 that we decided to expand into wine making. Celebrating our family heritage, we chose the name Chase Winery.
Widowed in 1874, Sarah Esther Chase Bourn ventured from San Francisco to St. Helena to re-establish her family. A true Napa Valley pioneer, Sarah purchased about 320 acres between St. Helena and Rutherford in the heart of the Napa Valley. Determined to be self-sustaining, she raised cattle and sheep, planted vegetables, wheat, along with fruit, nut and olive trees and maintained a silkworm farm. Sarah's daughter, Maude, and her husband, William Alston Hayne, planted the Zinfandel vines just after the turn of the century. Ever since, the vineyard has been handed down from generation to generation and tenderly maintained by descendants of the Chase-Bourn-Hayne-Simpson family.
......Sixty acres of old vine Zinfandel, Petite Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards remain in the family.
Chase Winery Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel
BLUEBERRIES! That's the word on the 2001 Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel, and lots of them. The 2001's look to be big wines and this one is no exception. Large and bold, the flavors are tremendously powerful and juicy exhibiting layers of decadent ripe blueberries, raspberries, coffee, and chocolate. Spices include cinnamon and slight, sweet hint of toasty oak. The finish goes on and on yet is refined and silky. Because it's BIG, we recommend a little cellar time and then decant for the best enophilic experience. Again with the 2001, we made a few Magnums for those of you who like the big bottle presentation.
Chase Winery Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel Port
Some of you have had the pleasure of barrel tasting this jammy, robust port here at the winery and we are happy to have it now ready for home consumption. As visitors know, Andy decided to do the port as a whim. He and Bill Ballentine, our notable winemaker, played with it and then fortified it with the Valley's best: Domaine Charbay Brandy. We call it our cigar Port. It begins with earthy scents of cedar and tobacco then unfolds to show walnut, plum and baked cherry flavors. Big and chewy, silky tannins with a smoky edge running through and a super long finish with nutty overtones. Nothing better on a cold winter's night!

Flush mounted21st of September 2012
New Xibu inox washroom dispensers are stainless steel with flush mounted bodies. This, says manufacturer Hagleitner, makes them more attractive.
There are three models in the range - hand towel, foam soap and tissue - and they can be installed on any type of wall. An LED signals their operating status - green for fully functioning; green/red means either battery, soap or paper is running out.
Servicing can be flexible thanks to aspare tank and two-roll systems and a permanent power supply can be fitted instead of battery operation.

I've had a few questions lately about filesizes and camera specs, and what's the minimum required for stock, so I thought I'd run through it briefly for everyone.
First up I'll make the disclaimer that I'm dealing with hundreds of photographers every month, each with different makes and models of camera, so I don't make any attempt to keep up with the latest specifications for any specific model. Life's far too short to even try!
It's also worth noting, 'megapixels' is a marketing term and means very little to photo buyers. They don't give a hoot about your camera specifications. They only want to know about the image you can supply and whether it's suitable for the job at hand.
So that's what we need to focus on.
At GlobalEye, we generally recommend to photographers that, as a minimum, they should be able to provide a file that can be printed at 300dpi, to a full page size, ie 10″ x 8″.
So in pixel dimensions, that simply means you need a file that is 3000px (10 inches x 300dpi) x 2400px (8 inches x 300dpi).
In practice, we find that is ample for the majority of sales going through our library. In fact, the majority of images we sell are reproduced at a half page or less!
But that doesn't necessarily mean you can make a living with a low end point-and-shoot.
Because we're licensing images under a RM (rights managed) model, the value of the sale is based on the usage … and generally speaking, larger reproductions are going to demand a higher payment.
So the problem you face is, if you're only shooting the small images you're not even in contention when the better paying sales come around.
Here's a quick example … let's assume we've got 3 photographers shooting similar images with pro gear, high-end consumer gear and compact digital gear. They each get 10 leads where they have the content the buyer desperately wants …
Photographer A is shooting large files on professional gear and makes a sales for all ten leads as show below …
6 x 1/2 Page Images @ $200 = $1200
2 x Full Page Images @ $400 = $800
2 x Large Format Repros @ $600 = $1200
… 10 sales for a total of $3200 in revenue. Not a bad month.
Now Photographer B has the high end consumer gear and can supply all but the 2 largest images. He only misses out on 2 sales, (20% of the leads) but loses $1200 (37% of the income).
And it should be pretty obvious, that Photographer C trying to make a go of it with low end gear might be able to supply the half page images, but has effectively shut themselves out of 40% of the sales and 42% of the income.
Can Med-Low Res Images Sell?
OK, but what about all those images from your early digital cameras that are smaller than this … should you throw them out or can they actually sell as stock?
A lot of people have some serious collections of images taken on older digital cameras or compact digital cameras, and they'll often ask whether it's worth submitting those to our stock library. As a guide I usually suggest only the very best, and only if they are honestly exceptional or somehow unique.
By all means sort them, edit them and catalog them, but don't waste time submitting them all.
Pick out the best 1-2 shots of each subject that have real commercial potential. Submit those with a caption-note that more are available and store the rest. Then use the time saved to get out and shoot new larger images with broader potential.
If a Client sees you have 1-2 images of a subject they want, they'll automatically assume you have more and ask to see them. Alternatively, if there's no interest in the subject you haven't wasted too much time on it.
Stock photography is a volume business, but it's because of that you can't afford to waste time and effort on images which aren't likely to generate a reasonable return. Whatever you do, don't fall into the trap of submitting anything and everything you've got, just to build up numbers. Your time is far too precious.
Capturing The Largest Possible Image
The message here should be clear enough … you should ALWAYS capture the largest possible image to ensure it has the best possible sales potential.
Storage is cheap, so capture large every time.
For most people that will mean shooting RAW files.
If your camera captures RAW, learn how to use it and incorporate it as a simple step in your workflow. RAW is far from standardized, so it's extremely unlikely that a buyer will ever ask you for a RAW file, but you will get a larger, better quality image file if you use it.
The theory goes something like this …
All digital cameras capture image info in RAW format and will either save as RAW (if your camera has that option) or convert in-camera to TIF or JPG.
If you do the conversion in-camera, quite often the processor in your camera has to throw away a certain amount of image data to get the job done. As a general guideline, he cheaper the camera, the less grunt it's got for this processing work, so the more data will be lost.
On the other hand, your desktop computer and raw conversion software have much more grunt than your digital camera, so no data is discarded if you capture and export RAW files from your camera.
There are some exceptions when you start looking at the high-end professional gear but as a rule of thumb, you will get a better end product if you leave the conversion and processing until the file is on your computer.
If your camera doesn't offer the RAW format, the next best option is TIFs. These are uncompressed image files — so the conversion is done in camera but there's no further data loss that might occur with a compressed JPG file.
There is some debate about uncompressed JPGs, and some people/manufacturers will tell you there's no loss of data with high-quality/uncompressed JPGs, but if a buyer asks me for an uncompressed file I am always going send a TIF, so it makes sense to capture and store your master copies in that format in the first place.
The exception might be if I'm in a situation where I've got limited access to download images to a computer and I'm running short on storage, but it would have to be extremely remote and I'd still be kicking myself for not being more organised.
Like I said earlier, storage is cheap these days so as long as you've got battery power to shoot images, you should make sure you have the cards to store them or the means to transfer the contents to other storage devices.
Software For Upsizing
There are a few options available for upsizing your images to something more useful, and this is great for one-off jobs, but it's not something I'd recommend for a large collection of low res images though.
At Global Eye we actually recommend to new our new Members that they download a demo of our preferred program — http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/suite/perfect-resize/?ind (Previously Genuine Fractals) — and get familiar with it, so they know just how big they can go if a Client comes knocking.
We've seen some great results with this, including a 35mm scanned image that was upsized to over 750mb for use on the side of a fleet of semi-trailers!
We've also seen a number of full- and double-page sales of images that have been upsized from files output by compact digital cameras. It's definitely not something you'd want to do for all your small files, but it is good to know what's possible … before someone comes asking.
OK, this has turned out a bit longer than I planned so I'll leave it there. To wrap up, don't ever go throwing away all your smaller digital files, but do be very selective about which ones you invest time on trying to market. In most cases you'll find it more productive — and a lot more fun — spending that time shooting larger images on your new gear!

Joe Mcgivern – Photographer
Today I'm talking with Joe Mcgivern who splits his professional duties between hairstylist and photographer. Joe has been doing professional hair for over 20 years and knew his way around a set long before he picked up a camera. These days you can find him mixing it up, doing some of both. We are going to talk about his crossover into photography and how he finds coming from the hair styling end of things has helped him.

Model test – Stuart
Been keeping busy with things around Lucy's Trust and work these past few months. Before I post something from the advertising world, I figured I'd post a quick test we shot with Stuart. We are in the middle of vying for a pretty big catalogue shoot coming up and we're looking for a late 30's, or 40 mature guy.
Stuart came forward a few weeks ago so we quickly did a test in between shoots. We went up to Black Mountain overlooking Belfast and couldn't have shot on a more drizzling day (you can actually see the rain in some of the shots). The fog was very heavy when we first turned up but we proceeded on, and sure enough it started to lift and give us some beautiful soft light.
It was a good quick shoot and the walk back to the cars was right on time as the skies started to open even more and pour down.

Know Your Malware: Feebs Removal
Feebs is a worm that spreads through file sharing networks using popular peer-to-peer clients. Once executed, the parasite installs itself to the system and runs a spreading routine. It creates infected files with meaningful names in all shared folders it finds in the compromised system. Then it runs a payload. Feebs terminates running antiviruses, firewalls, anti-trojan tools and other security-related programs and prevents them from loading on next system startup. The worm also disables the Windows Firewall and deletes few system files. In some cases it may collect certain passwords, account details and e-mail addresses. Feebs automatically runs on every Windows startup.

John Adams by David McCullough
By pereka | Books | March 9, 2010 |
By pereka | Books | March 9, 2010 |
"Who shall write the history of the American Revolution?" Adams asked. "Who can write it? Who will be able to write it?"
"Nobody," Jefferson answered, "except perhaps its external facts."
I've just finished reading John Adams, the brilliant work of biographical history by David McCullough, which expanded my knowledge of the titular founding father beyond the HBO mini-series and the musical 1776, in which I learned that Mr. Feeny was "obnoxious and disliked." And while I must applaud Paul Giamatti's portrayal of America's second president, one can only really know the man by his words. Thanks be to Mr. Adams, he sure did leave a lot of words.
McCullough digs deep into Adams' writings, from his first scratched letters to the spidery scribbles of a dying hand. In them we find a man who settles deep into self-perusal, leaving few of his many flaws unseen by the daylight. Vanity, temper, ambition--Adams bemoans them all in diary entries and letters to his dear friend and wife, Abigail. Yet we also see a man with a critical wit, a streak of self-deprecating humor, and an all-abiding passion for his fellow human beings. As much as he claims in his letters that he would have been happy being "Adams the farmer" or "Adams the shoemaker," it's clear that both his flaws and positive traits could never have kept John Adams from the tide of history.
McCollough's book is much more of an exploration of a man--it is the baby scrapbook of the United States, complete with the first coos and heart-rending cries of a newborn nation. Through Adams' pen, we watch the aftermath of the Boston Massacre as Adams defends the beleaguered British troops in court. We see the orderly streets of Philadelphia as the fertile grounds of liberty, far from the "Killadelphia" that many know today. We watch as the "true blue patriots" wrangle with those seeking a peaceful settlement with the British on the floor of the State House, launching the Revolutionary War. The desperate battles of General Washington, the feeble grasping for European allies and money. Then, eventually, triumph. All of this is seen through Adams' correspondence with his wife, his friends, and his mercurial exchanges with Thomas Jefferson.
Through these writings, McCollough draws the battle lines in America's first partisan wars for control of the government. Perhaps most striking are the libelous claims slapped down in decidedly unfair and unbalanced newspapers, which should remind the reader our most recent administrations. Everything old always comes back shiny and new.
It's a book that, like, Adams himself, defies description. Call that laziness on my part if you want, but clocking in at 768 pages, the book would be highly disrespected if I were to try to boil it down to its simple parts. Suffice it to say that I disagree with President Jefferson in the epigraph above. He, John Adams, and everyone else who put pen to paper during the first turbulent decades of America's past wrote the history of the American Revolution. It's now up to us to read it and learn from it.

2 tablespoons green tea powder (matcha)
1. In a small bow, mix the green tea powder with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks and remaining sugar.
3. Pour the milk into a small pan and gently heat taking care not to let it boil (ideally the temperature of the milk should be 176 degrees F).
4. Remove the from the heat and mix a few spoonfuls of the warm milk with the green tea powder and sugar in a small bowl. When you have a smooth paste, add it to the remaining milk in the pan, then gradually combine with the egg yolk mixture.
5. Return mixture to the stove and heat slowly over low heat (take care not let the mixture boil), until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat, strain through a fine sieve, and allow to cool completely.
8. Repeat this a few times as it freezes to ensure that the ice cream is smooth.

This will have been our 4th trip to Beaches Turks & Caicos. When we arrived we unexpected informed of our room upgrade. This was a great start to our week. We did have one small hiccup with American Airlines misplacing our luggage, however it did arrive the following morning. Mitch and his team fulfilled our requests prior to booking. We chalked this year's trip as our premier vacation. I wouldn't think of using anyone else. I highly recommend.

I'll never forget the day I graduated high school and reading the infamous Dr. Suess book "Oh The Places You Will Go". It was a gift I had received back then and have often gone back to read during different times in my life when new adventures had presented themselves. Today I was reminded of the feelings that come with the start of a new adventure.
Imagine my surprise when I heard from one of my favorites at my favorite gym Anytime Fitness saying "We need to meet before Wednesday because I have news". It just so happened I had just changed into my workout clothes right before she sent it so I said I was already on my way I'll see you soon. Naturally, when you get a text like that all sort of things go through your mind. Keep in mind, however, for this particular situation, it could be a number of things for this person had become someone very special, like the little sister I never had and we shared a lot so it literally. could. be. anything. A sneaking suspicion though had me believe, she was off on a new adventure. Little did I know how right I was.
Let me take it even a step further to how I know little Miss Meghan of who I write about. She's a spitfire of a woman who I met when she was a cheerleader for NDSU and was coached by another dear friend of mine. From the moment I met her I knew she had to be cool, I mean one, her name was Meghan and two, she had dark hair like me, so that had to be saying something, but it was her similar attitude and free spirit to mine that made our friendship instantaneous. From there I got to know her in other areas of our lives including with the latest when she came to work at Anytime Fitness and even more of a friendship blossomed.
Today Meghan let me know that she had a beyond exciting opportunity presented to her over the weekend and everything escalated quickly and she's leaving THIS Wednesday already. Then I saw the emotions I remembered having the first time I ever left this area…excitement, nervousness and sadness all wrapped into one. It's a GIANT step to move away from a place you know as home. It's an even scarier step when it's hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the ones you love dearly, your friends, your family, your everything.
But let me tell you this, the adventure you begin when you do step out on your own for the first time, is worth every obstacle that might come your way. Everything we do is for a reason, each path we take has it's purpose. Had I not moved to Iowa at one point during my life, I wouldn't be where I am right now, and frankly I love my life and where I am at right now, and I would not have made nearly half the friendships that I hold so dearly to this day, Meghan included.
Trust that the move you make is the right one for you even if it seems scary, because at the end of the day, you always have your loved ones when you need them and you can ALWAYS go back home. But go enjoy the adventure that awaits you while you can, because when the best opportunity to move to Los Angeles, Hawaii, Reno, Nashville or wherever life may take you, presents itself, you take it without thinking twice and don't look back, move forward.
This new adventure awaits you and may God bless you every step of the way. But know that "True friends are never apart. Maybe in distance but never in heart."

Nintendo: "There is no casual gaming"
Nintendo Europe's senior marketing director Laurent Fischer says the casual gamer is a myth and that there are only people who play games and people who don't.
"For me, you are a gamer or non-gamer," he told CVG at Nintendo's German HQ yesterday. "I think most of you know that you can spend ten or twenty hours on an internet flash game and have not realised. The guy who plays these games regularly - he's a core gamer."
But what about Brain Training, we hear you scream? And we really did hear that. "Someone who is fifty-years old who only plays Brain Training, but plays it like a core gamer is a core gamer," Fischer added.
"I don't like this word casual so much. Because people consider that casual needs to be something easy. If you're good at any game you can play at a high difficulty level.
"Take Tetris. There is incredible gameplay, it's very simple, very easy to understand, but it's also very different. I think a game can be a light enough to enjoy and for all gamers to become a core gamer on it."
Fischer concluded: "There is no casual gaming. There is just a different way to play." Look out for more from Fischer later on today.
