An amazingly hot and sunny day meant the crowds were out. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our cars, with only two examples on show - Bud and Thelma's Prefect, and Chris and Jo's Y.
As our usual site has no shelter from the sun, we moved about halfway
through the day to a shady spot under the trees. Thanks to the American
Muscle Car Club for allowing us to steal some of their space.

The young woman in black with hot pink hair stood at the curb at 46th Place and Rockwell.
It is not a place of sanctuary. It is a place of death, one of many such places in Chicago's street gang wars, and she was marking it again.
She knelt down, sobbed, covering her face with her left hand, using her right to begin reconstructing a shrine to a dead gangster. She fished into the gutter and pulled out a stem of a broken rose. She plucked up handfuls of torn red rose petals from the gutter and put these on the curb too. She also put three candles, two rosaries and a mini bottle of tequila on the curb.
She said someone had already dismantled a makeshift shrine that had been there the day before, where 10 people were shot Sunday, two of them killed.
"I was going to take it down there where there's a Virgin (statue)," she said, waving the back of her hand north on Rockwell. "But they don't give a s—. They threw his s— away."
Chicago police drove by and a cop begged her to leave "before you get yourself killed."
"We don't need any more people killed here," said the officer.
"I don't want you killed," he said. "I understand you've got to grieve. I'll wait. But you'll have to go."
He sat in his squad car, waiting, and she waved him away, sobbing, curling up on that curb, hugging herself with tattooed arms.
It is from this place of death that the life of Ald. Ray Lopez, 15th, was threatened by the street gangs the other day for telling an inconvenient truth: that the only innocents are the decent families in the neighborhood and their children who walk past the gang shrines on the way to school.
"The gangs aren't innocent," Lopez told me. "They put out their shrines, they try to recruit children and they kill. The neighbors know how bad it is, but I really don't think Chicago knows how bad it is."
It is an intergenerational problem, of grandfathers and fathers and sons and mothers and daughters wearing their gang colors. And it is woven into the history of Chicago politics, where for more than a century street gangs have been political muscle for the Democratic Party.
Symbolic politics take place elsewhere, in the media world, in the Twittersphere, with much snarkiness and virtue signaling. It is in this media world where Mayor Rahm Emanuel scores points for mocking President Donald Trump on immigration and sanctuary city policies.
Emanuel has problems with black voters — the trial of a white cop in the killing of black teenager Laquan McDonald is coming up, and the mayor's disastrous handling of it all will be resurrected.
So Emanuel pivots and becomes Mayor Zorro, championing Latino causes, seeking re-election by thumping his Trump pinata.
But the mayor wasn't at that corner of 46th Place and Rockwell. It is far from his politics. I didn't see any pinatas there.
And no sanctuary, either, just a woman on a curb, trying to grab her breath on a quiet morning as police guarded her.
In other countries, say, on the side of a bad mountain road, the places of death are marked with white crosses, and you can see them from miles off, stretching along the hillsides below.
But on 46th Place, you turn the corner and hear the sobs and there she is, with her candles and the broken rose.
If you've been following the news, you know about that place of death on 46th Place and Rockwell.
A 26-year-old gang-banger, Daniel Cordova, a reputed member of the Satan's Disciples, was killed there early Sunday morning. He'd put up video on Facebook, taunting other gangs, bragging that he planned to stay out all night in his car.
He posted it around 3 a.m. Authorities say the Almighty Saints found him a half-hour later and shot him to death.
That afternoon, on that spot, at a makeshift shrine to Cordova, a crowd including his friends and family and Satan's Disciples, gathered to pay their respects, with their flowers and their candles and the mini tequilas and other markings of street dead.
A van pulled up. Two men got out and started shooting with rifles, police said. Eight people were shot and wounded and two more were shot and killed: Cordova's friends, Adriana Williams and her brother Michael, were dead.
That evening, Ald. Lopez stood with neighbors and cops and said something most aldermen in gang-infested communities don't dare say after killings at gang shrines.
He said that "no innocent lives were lost." And immediately came those death threats. And now he has police guarding his home.
"We had a meeting Monday night right there at that place," he told me. "Some of them got angry. But you know something? Some of the neighbors stood up to them and said their kids could have been killed. That's what's required here. The neighbors have to stand up."
But Chicago's hot summer hasn't even hit yet. It's still cool. And there will be more gang shrines, and other women with their candles.
I remember the woman with pink hair this way: trying to put that broken rose back together, putting handfuls of torn rose petals on the curb, patting them with her fingertips, touching the rosaries and the candles and the mini tequila again and again with the cop idling in his car.
And then she gathered them up and walked away.

I think it's fair to say that we've been pretty disappointed with patronage results over the last year or so (longer for rail). After about 7 years of almost constant growth we saw patronage decline and then flat line with it only just starting to show signs of turning around. If there is perhaps one silver lining from all of this it's that it has hopefully shaken Auckland Transport up and made them realise they can't just sit back and expect patronage growth will always occur.
There are a heap of big projects happening at the moment which will dramatically improve public transport over the coming years, in particular electrification, the new bus network, integrated ticketing and eventually integrated fares. However these are all big, multi-year projects that we won't see the full benefit from for a while and I suspect that AT may have been resting on their laurels waiting for those projects to be completed. The patronage problems forced AT to start thinking about PT more and we're now starting to see some of the early outcomes of this with them starting to improve their marketing – and there is likely to be other improvements to come.
The patronage results were even more concerning as in the Auckland Plan the council set AT a target of doubling patronage over a 10 year period to 2022 with a longer term goal of reaching a PT usage of 100 trips per person per year by 2041 (currently at about 45). A big question has become whether the organisation can actually meet the targets that they have been set and to help answer that Deloitte have been analysing what is planned to estimate just what kind of patronage we can expect. They presented their findings to the AT board last week and the report itself has now been made public. The results are both incredibly interesting and concerning.
All of the various initiatives currently on the list have been summarised into the following groups and there are no surprises from this. What it does help to show is just how much will be happening over the next couple of years.
Deloitte say that even if we manage to fund every PT project currently on the list – including the CRL – and we do it well and on time (i.e. not like HOP so far) then the best we can achieve by 2022 is 101 million PT boardings. That's a ~31 million increase on what we have now but is 39 million short of AT's target.
They have also estimated patronage by each mode and say that capacity issues on the bus network could start hurting patronage from 2015 onwards and if not addressed then by 2022 it would mean bus patronage affected by up to 15% (roughly 9 million boardings)
Further they say that if the various projects were to get similar results as seen in other cities that have completed similar projects, then patronage could be as low as ~83 million boardings depending on which comparisons are used. The other cities compared were Wellington, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, London, Toronto and Vancouver and they say none of them managed to double patronage in 10 years with it typically taking twice as long as that with the best being Vancouver at about 16 years. They say that the cities that have seen significant patronage growth have also seen sustained network investment and service improvement.
The one thing perhaps in Auckland's favour is all of these cities did start from a high base and with a more mature PT network which probably makes it harder to double patronage on. However if Deloitte are right then don't have a hope in hell of reaching the target that has been set.
So what does all this mean for Auckland Transport? Deloitte say there are two primary options to pursue
In my mind cutting the targets should not even be considered to be an option and I would hope our elected officials would feel the same way. That leaves only option 2 which will mean AT will have to rethink what they are doing and helpfully Deloitte have even suggested a few potential options.
1. Operational, network and service initiatives — for example:
- Fare reduction and restructuring
- Increase frequency, coverage, or additional service kms
- Focus on operational improvements including punctuality and reliability
2. Modification of existing planned projects — for example:
- Rescheduling capital projects (i.e. bring forward CRL and potentially other projects)
3. New capital investments — for example:
- Additional investment in busways
- Bring forward the harbour crossing
4. Incentive management initiatives — for example
- Creating a competitive process for operators
5. Structural reform — for example:
- Congestion/road user charges
Basically if AT want to meet the targets then they will have to really invest in improving the PT network. The really big one is 3. where at the meeting Deloitte said we would need one or two additional busways on top of what is currently planned for a capital cost of ~$355 million. Also I must say I have no idea how pulling forward the AWHC does anything to help patronage, if anything it will do the opposite. In addition improving fares, frequencies and/or network coverage as well as other areas of the PT system will be critical and Deloitte estimate that could cost up to an extra $1.5 billion in operational funding (~$150m per year). In addition to the carrots of better services and infrastructure the authors say we also need to consider some stick type approaches by way of road pricing and increasing parking charges.
By in large I couldn't agree more and of course the need for AT to change their current investment patterns by re-prioritising spending is something we have suggested quite strongly with the Congestion Free Network. We've even suggested a number of busways they couple pursue.
Of course my guess is that they will try for option 1 first using the excuse that they can't afford to invest more in PT without the council giving them more money as to some within the organisation, the thought of cutting the roading budget seems like a concept from a different planet.
At the board meeting the only real question that arose was whether the goal of 140 million boardings was actually worth it and what would it do to mode share. In other words what sort of difference would that extra 39 million boardings make to metrics like congestion, emissions or how the city works. That wasn't able to be answered at the time so presumably it is a piece of work that will now be happening.
We'll be keeping a close eye on what unfolds as a result of this report.

A newly published genetic analysis sheds new light on the high comorbidity between primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and inflammatory bowel disease. Findings are consistent with a hypothesis in which the bowel disease in patients with PSC is a unique disease that shares some genetic factors with other forms of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) but is distinct from "classical" inflammatory bowel disease phenotypes on important instances.
The frequent occurrence of diseases of the liver, skin or joints in patients with inflammatory bowel disease has previously led to the hypothesis that these conditions were somehow caused by the bowel disease. However, the findings in this study strongly suggest that this is not the case. Although some genetic overlap was detected, the results show that it is possible to distinguish distinct disease entities by a molecular taxonomy determined by the genetic findings.
The study, which was published in Nature Genetics in early online format on March 14th, is the largest systematic cross-disease genetic study for chronic immune-mediated diseases thus far, including the five diseases ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew's disease), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis and PSC. Researchers from four large disease consortia, encompassing hundreds of researchers from 26 countries, joined forces to combine data from studies of their respective diseases, amounting to 52,262 patients and 34,213 healthy controls. The analysis enabled the researchers to delineate the genetic overlap between the conditions, as well as describe the molecular abnormities that were specific to each disease. In all, the analysis delineated 244 risk genes, describing the genetic susceptibility involving in chronic inflammation at an unprecedented level. .
"This study is important because it creates a platform for understanding the molecular make-up of each disease, in the future enabling more specified treatment of chronic inflammatory disease. That there is some genetic overlap means there may still be important opportunities for drug repurposing", says Tom Hemming Karlsen, coordinator of one of the participating consortia, the International PSC Study Group (www.ipscsg.org), and professor at the University of Oslo.

Big Book: Pages for Peace
Kids Can Make a Difference
Bookmakers & Dreamers Peace Club
Groton Dunstable Regional School District
Groton, MA
Edited by Stacey Billings Chilcoat
In 2004, a small group of 5th-grade students and one enthusiastic middle school teacher, Betsy Sawyer, started a weekly after-school writing club at the Groton Dunstable Middle School in Groton, Massachusetts. Over the course of that first year, the club set their sights on creating a record-breaking giant book to carry the message of peace to the hearts and minds of children worldwide. Here is their story:
In the fall of 2004, our newly formed "Bookmakers & Dreamers Club" wanted to do something really "big." We decided to create the largest book in the world! Although our club leader and middle school teacher Mrs. Sawyer was on board with the idea, she secretly thought it would never happen. We convinced her to let us try to break the big book record in the Guinness Book of World Records. Mrs. Sawyer challenged us to come up with a topic that was big enough for this "big" project. During our planning discussions, we shared our thoughts and fears and that led us to consider the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. With guidance from Mrs. Sawyer, we chose world peace as our topic. At the time, we had no idea about how truly enormous this topic was and what lessons we would learn along the way.
We became very excited with the theme of "Peace," and began a letter-writing campaign. We sent hundreds of letters to our families, friends, community leaders, dignitaries, educators, Nobel Laureates, veterans, artists, writers, musicians, politicians, and other students worldwide asking them to respond to five questions:
- What is world peace?
- Will there ever be world peace?
- Where do you see the world in 20 years?
- What have you done to help create peace in your lifetime?
- What can KIDS do to help create a more peaceful world?
Letters began pouring in. As we took turns reading them out loud to the club, we discussed the various perspectives and life experiences that the writers shared. To our surprise, many notable people responded. We've received letters from Nobel Peace Prize winners, such as former President Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama. We've heard from local and national politicians, such as Senators John Kerry and Edward Kennedy, and from celebrities and sports figures, like Tony Hawk. We've heard from many organizations, such as Amnesty International. We've received letters from firefighters, veterans, teachers, artists, parents and grandparents, neighbors, and friends.
We learned that world peace does not just mean an end to all wars. In order to achieve world peace, people must be given the chance to live their lives with dignity and security. We discovered five consistent messages that came from people in all walks of life. In order to end conflict and violence, people need: healthy food, adequate housing, education, health care, and meaningful jobs. We also learned that many conflicts in the world are related to ethnic and religious intolerance.
In these letters, people suggested we travel and learn about cultures different from our own. People advised us to become educated about conflicts that exist around the world. They encouraged us to get involved to help end poverty and hunger. Through the creation of Big Book, Pages for Peace, the peace club members hope to spread these important messages to people all over the world.
"I believe that children all over the world want the same things and it is their future at stake. Their voices are clear and their desires are powerful; they can help adults see the mistakes made and they will work toward solutions to world peace."
—from the letter of a parent volunteer
What started as an after-school writing club for a few students grew into a huge project spanning 12 years and involving the entire community. Our club membership started with just seven 5th-graders and has grown to an average of 50 active club members in the Groton Dunstable Middle School each year as well as approximately 300 Peace Club alumni ages 14 to 23 years old. The scope of the club itself has also grown far beyond a simple writing project. We have invited speakers from different organizations to attend our club meetings and teach us what peace means to them. One of our most memorable speakers included the 9/11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows. These people, who lost family members during the attacks of 9/11, taught us that violence only leads to more violence.
The club has taken many field trips to learn about all of the parts involved in the construction of the book. A book as large as ours cannot be printed on paper or bound by a normal book binder. The club took a field trip to EFI Vutek in Meredith, New Hampshire, to see the machines they create to print large-scale posters on Tyvek paper. We visited Unigraphics in Woburn, Massachusetts, to see the operation of a Vutek machine and learn about the mechanics involved in printing, binding, storing, and moving our book. We have taken several field trips to the University of Massachusetts in Lowell and have worked closely with the UMASS Lowell Department of Engineering in an effort to create the display stand and a robotic page turner. We met several times with award-winning book designer Joan Paley of North Scituate, Massachusetts, who taught us about book design, layout, and publishing, while volunteering hundreds of hours to help our club with the enormous task of creating a book.
The members of our club have been invited to a number of speaking engagements to spread the word about our Big Book, from rotary club meetings to local television special interest stories. In 2008, our club members presented our project at the United Nations International Day of Peace Student Conference in New York City, where we were joined by 600 students from all over the United States and spoke to students from Liberia, Afghanistan, and Sudan via satellite. We have traveled to peace museums, honored 911 First Responders, volunteered with food banks, met with UN ambassadors, and held many fundraising events and activities in support of the Big Book. The educational opportunities have been endless.
While another record-setting book has now surpassed us for the Guinness World Record, there has never been a peace book of this size created. Big Book: Pages for Peace is 12 feet tall and 10 feet wide when closed and contains 1,074 pages filled with thousands of letters, artwork, songs, and poems. This enormous book will be shared with the world both in its physical form and through digital media. The Big Book has already been displayed at the JFK Library and Museum in Boston, Massachusetts, and at the United Nations in New York City, New York. And we continue to look for opportunities to spread our message of peace.
The Bookmakers and Dreamers Peace Club members blieve that if we learn to resolve our own conflicts more peacefully, we will continue to grow as peacemakers. With the physical Big Book now complete, we continue to be involved in peacemaking, learning about peace and experiencing the world with an open mind. We will be open to the diverse views of people everywhere. We will be tolerant of differences and diplomatic in resolving conflicts. Our leader Betsy Sawyer helped us to believe in ourselves as peacemakers and in peacemaking as a way of life. Her vision of a peaceful world continues to serve as our guide, not only for the Big Book but also for our future.
"This project transformed my life and hopefully has made a significant difference in many of my students' lives as well. After reading the varied responses in the hundreds of letters we received and sorting through the mass of artwork, music, and photos, I began to see the world through a new lens. There is hope in this big book, little bits and pieces of hope, bound together into a massive volume of ideas."—Betsy Sawyer
You can help spread our message of peace. Write us a letter. Tell others about our project. Make a financial contribution. Help us to share this project of hope and love. Our bookmaking has not come to a close, because Big Book will continue to grow, with letters and other submissions becoming part of a digital book in the future. Our dream is that Big Book: Pages for Peace will touch many hearts as it travels around the world and the hundreds of messages it carries will make a difference to people everywhere . . . one letter (or page) at a time.

The wicked surround the righteous—and many fear that the wicked are winning. The wicked are the ones who hold the power: they have the money; they have the bombs, the guns, the muscle; they have the ruthless ideologies, the single-minded tenacity, the murderous certainty. The wicked call the shots.
Habakkuk sees it and he cries out; he complains in bold language reminiscent of the psalms. He doesn't just groan, he laments and insists, and with his questions he holds God responsible: How long shall I cry for help, and you, Lord, will not listen? How long shall I cry to you "Violence!" and you will not save? Why do you make me see wrongdoing and look at trouble, destruction and violence, strife and contention? Where is your justice when the wicked pervert justice? Where is your justice when the righteous are surrounded?
You listen to Habakkuk and you hear echoes from the psalms:
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all day long? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile your name forever? How long, Lord, shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?[1]
Habakkuk doesn't just groan under the weight of wrongdoing, trouble, violence, destruction, and perverted justice pressing down on God's people—he names the wrongs, points them out, and he insists on a response from the Lord who is known as a lover of righteousness. Habakkuk gives voice to those among God's people who see the wicked surrounding the righteous, twisting justice, and getting away with it – day after day, year after year, generation after generation. Habakkuk insists on a response on behalf of all who struggle to hold onto the belief that real justice is possible in this world.
On June 17 last year, 21-year-old Dylan Roof killed nine men and women at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. One of the victims was Ethel Lance; she was the sexton and she was 70 years old when she was murdered at the Wednesday Bible study. At a bond hearing in a Charleston courtroom later that summer, family members of the victims were invited to give statements. Ethel Lance's daughter, Nadine Collier got up and made her way to the podium. What she said, looking at Dylan Roof on closed-circuit tv and choking back sobs, came out like this:
"I forgive you. You took something very precious away from me. I will never get to talk to her ever again—but I forgive you, and have mercy on your soul … You hurt me. You hurt a lot of people. If God forgives you, I forgive you."
Her words took everybody in the courtroom by surprise. Her own family wasn't prepared for them. "When she said that, I was just shocked," says her sister, Sharon Risher. "I was like, Who in the hell is she talking for? Because she's not talking for me." Risher looks back a year later and says, "The flag went down, yes. This little boy is in jail, yes. But all of this has just caused too much." It is too soon to talk about healing when the wounds are still being torn open every day. For Risher, the murder of her mother is not an isolated event. "Every night somebody else gets killed in this country, and I have to relive that pain," she says, "because I know what these people are going through."[2]
How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all day long? How long shall I cry for help, and you, Lord, will not listen? How long?
What does real justice look like? Dylan Roof's trial will begin in January; he's facing federal hate crime charges in addition to having been indicted with nine counts of murder. He may get sentenced to death, and that may satisfy the state's justice – but what about the festering wound of racism that will not heal? My friend Latisha has no words left for her pain and her anger after hundreds of years of violence against blacks and the relentless news over recent months and weeks of questionable police shootings of black men and boys. There's no end to it. Latisha is tired of shouting, How long? She has no tears left. She has changed both her cover photo and her profile picture on Facebook to solid black rectangles that swallow up all light – it's her speechless lament, a silent cry of mourning and rage.
On September 18, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave a eulogy in Birmingham. It was the funeral for three of the four girls killed in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church three days earlier. He said, "These children—unoffending, innocent, and beautiful—were the victims of one of the most vicious and tragic crimes ever perpetrated against humanity. … They have something to say to each of us in their death. They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of stained-glass windows. They have something to say to every politician who has fed his constituents with the stale bread of hatred and the spoiled meat of racism. … They say to each of us, black and white alike, that we must substitute courage for caution. They say to us that we must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderers."[3]
Dr. King reminds us that we must be concerned not merely about the perpetrators, but about the vision of life that produced and continues to produce them. And we must substitute courage for caution, because the vision of life that leaves no room for the other or insists on assigning the other his or her place in what we presume to be our world, that vision is much more common among us than we care to consider, let alone admit. It feels good when we can identify with the righteous whom the wicked surround, but it takes courage to face our own complicity in wicked systems that keep righteousness from flourishing among us.
"How long shall I cry for help, and you, Lord, will not listen?" said Habakkuk. "I will stand at my watchpost, and station myself on the rampart; I will keep watch to see what the Lord will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint."
The Lord answered the prophet and made a promise: "There is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay."
There is still a vision of life where the end is not violent exclusion but courageous embrace. There is still a vision of life where all lives do indeed matter. There is still a vision of life where wickedness has been redeemed by love and righteousness is at home throughout the world. There is still a vision; it will surely come. We affirm that this vision is Christ's proclamation of the kingdom. We affirm that the vision has become tangible in the life he lived and the just reign he inaugurated. We are still waiting, but what we await is not unknown; it is the fullness of the life we see when we look at Jesus. What we await is the consummation of creation in the loving communion of God and God's creatures.
When we gather around the table of Christ, we do it in remembrance of him. And as often as we eat the bread and drink the cup, we proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. It is as though we lean forward into the fulfillment, into the future that is already present when welcoming each other as forgiven sinners in Christ's name and recognizing each other as brothers and sisters in Christ we celebrate the feast of life.
I don't know where the courage to look at ourselves with honesty would come from, if not from that vision. I don't know where the courage to open up to one another across all that divides us would come from, if not from that vision. Habakkuk calls us in God's name to trust that promise – to trust it more than our cynicism, more than our own complicity in wickedness, and more than our anger and our grief.
Habakkuk concludes his prophecy with beautiful words of tenacious faith, inviting us to trust and wait and work with him:
Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is on the vines;
though the produce of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food;
though the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will exult in the God of my salvation.[4]

Wounded Vets Create Music ... as Well as Jobs for Themselves
When he left the Army in 2009, he faced a difficult question: what to do next? Like many vets, he'd been wounded in an improvised explosive device blast in Iraq and was suffering from traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. Discharged with a medical retirement, he didn't need to work, but couldn't stand the idea of inactivity. "I wanted to do something important with my time," he recalls.
Before joining the military, Delacerda had been a musician, and had played drums since he was 15. Unfortunately, combat had left him with a variety of injuries, including recurring migraines and numbness in his hands and right leg. Doctors had told him that he would never be able to play again.
A former explosives expert in the Army, Delacerda trained to become a humanitarian demining technician. Unfortunately, as he soon discovered, his brain injuries left him with memory issues that made it impossible for him to work with explosives. But then, he happened to attend a Wounded Warrior alumni event. During the talent show, a friend convinced him to play drums on stage. After the show, he met several fellow combat veterans who also had been professional musicians. Bass guitarist King Burton had played with Bob Hope in Vietnam. Guitar tech Sean Foster, a Vietnam vet, had since worked with Heart, the J. Geils Band, Steve Miller, David Crosby, and a long list of other legendary artists. All of them were using music to help put their lives back together.
They talked about forming a band, but realized that they wanted to do something bigger than just playing music. "We've already done the record deal thing, and we know how the industry works," he says. "We wanted to build something that wasn't just a band. We wanted to build an organization."
In 2010, Delacerda and his comrades created the Warrior Spirit Band, a group composed entirely of wounded former veterans who have used music to put their lives back together. Their music is rock with a country edge, and hearkens back to a 1970's-tinged southern rock sound. But while their rhythms will seem familiar to fans of Steve Miller or Lynyrd Skynyrd, their lyrics are entirely contemporary. Their song "Not Easy Being a Soldier" echoes the experience of a military patrol, while "Heart in Your Hand" brings to mind the painful vulnerability of leaving loved ones at home during a deployment.
More:The Top 10 Military-Friendly EmployersSince its creation, the group has toured the country, playing at numerous military bases and Wounded Warrior events -- often free. The band, a nonprofit, has independently released a handful of their own songs, and has found a strong audience. Independent music site ReverbNation currently lists it as the fifth most popular alternative band in the Houston area, where they're based, and in the top 400 nationally.
Whatever money the band brings in is to just cover their expenses. "We play a lot of bases, where we talk to these guys, let them know that we're here for them, and help them realize that there's a support structure for them," Delacerda explains. "At our shows, veterans come up to us. Some of them are unemployed, or virtually homeless. We try to hook them up with people to help them find a job, help them with their PTSD, and assist them with their veterans' administration paperwork."
They've had a lot of help. Among other partnerships, Warrior Spirit has joined with several instrument companies, an alliance that has worked well for both groups. "For many of our sponsors, we're brand ambassadors," Delacerda notes. "If an instrument company wants to put themselves in front of soldiers, we're a great way to do that. We give out guitars, guitar strings, drumsticks, and lots of other music products."
The group also relies on donations from private individuals to keep it in business and on the road.
Sometimes, the donations take strange forms. For the past year, Delacerda and his bandmates have been renovating a 10,000 square foot facility in Houston that they hope to transform into a work training facility, where they can teach veterans how to play music, work with instruments, do band prep work, and perform other jobs in the music industry.
The new program, which they call "Rock 4 Recovery," has gotten the support of the City of Houston, as well as various local bands, a handful of charities, and some larger companies, like Home Depot. "They've donated carpet and some building materials for the facility," Delacerda says. "They've really come through."
But even with their partners, funding the renovations takes almost every spare penny the group produces. Delacerda has partially financed it out of his own retirement, and estimates that he has spent $40,000 of his own money on rent, utilities and renovation costs.
Ultimately, though, Delacerda and his bandmates see this as their mission. "This is a choice that we've made – to help our combat veterans," he explains. "I've had friends kill themselves because they thought that there was nobody there to help them. I don't want that to happen to anyone else. We don't want to leave anyone behind."

Grand Rapids BUTI Yoga/
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Van Leuven for a cup of coffee and learning more about her local business, Grand Rapids BUTI Yoga. Jennifer is the only certified BUTI yoga instructor currently teaching classes in Grand Rapids. This particular form of yoga has a focus on the core and it builds strength and flexibility. BUTI yoga is a sensual workout and is great for moms and other women who would like a fun workout that focuses a lot on their midsections. It combines Vinyasa flow yoga, tribal dance, and plyometrics. Jennifer says she has been amazed by the results from women who have taken her classes and can't believe how many of them are now rockin' sexy abs!
Grand Rapids BUTI Yoga is taught at the Monroe North Fitness Center at 940 Monroe Ave NW, Suite 153G. The classes are separate from the fitness center's membership program, however premium members do get a discount to attend the GR Buti Yoga classes.

I'm the type of girl that shies away from any sort of physical activity that requires learning a routine or doing moves in a synchronized fashion, especially when others are present to bear witness to my utter lack of coordination. Should you see me at one of the Grand Rapids BUTI Yoga classes, please don't tell anyone about what you saw!! It will be our little secret, ok?

It's my daughter's birthday next week and I've bought her some books. I found these on this list published by Time Out.
I've had a quick look through them (they're now wrapped) and I think they look pretty good. One interesting one is the We Are All Born Free which is basically the Universal Declaration of Human Rights explained to children with pictures. This is the sort of thing that an old boyfriend would have described as "right on" (not a compliment). I'll have to see whether she likes them.

The following blog post was written by a MCC Service Worker from Laos PDR and member of the ECHO Asia network, Kaarina Knisely. This MCC project originally obtained its Moringa seeds from ECHO.
A new plant is popping up in school yards and gardens throughout Tha Thom District, Lao PDR. Moringa, also known as 'Miracle Tree' or 'Drumstick Tree' in some countries, is a green stuffed full of vitamins, minerals and protein. It grows rapidly, producing lush, tender leaves the size of a penny, year round. In rural Laos, Moringa is especially noteworthy as a vegetable in the rainy season when other greens from the garden and market are scarce. Moringa is great because all parts of the plant can be eaten: leaves, flowers, young seed pods, and roots.
Because it is so rich in vitamins and protein, many organizations promote Moringa as a food for the sick or infants. Many local Lao people know Moringa as a medicinal tea from Vietnam sold at a premium. "Really it is great for everyone to eat!" comments Jeffrey Knisely, MCC Community Health Promoter, "MCC staff in Laos are trying to promote it as more than medicine, but as a nutritious vegetable that can be eaten every day."
Though Moringa traces its origin from Northern India, its fame has spread across the globe. Moringa is quickly growing in popularity in Lao PDR, because it's easily incorporated into the traditional Lao diet. Customarily a meal is accompanied by a plate of steamed or raw vegetable greens. Other local people have commented Moringa is very good with their meat salad (laap) or boiled in fish soup. Locals love the mildly spicy flavor the leaves add to their favorite dishes. Jeffrey Knisely sums it up, "What makes Moringa a great vegetable is that it is new, but not foreign to the Lao diet."
In December 2012, MCC Food Security and Nutrition Project in Tha Thom District gave twenty seedlings to each local primary school, as part of the school garden activity. Along with the seedlings, schools received an informational pamphlet introducing Moringa. Extra seedlings were given in 2013 to national MCC staff, district partners and other interested people in the community.
MCC staff started working with Moringa in 2011 by giving each school five seedlings. During this trial, it was found that Moringa grew very well in the warm Lao climate, but many seedlings died due to poor management and pests. Despite these problems schools were very eager to receive more Moringa seedlings, and fix the problems from the previous year.
Before receiving the tender Moringa saplings, schools were required to dig good holes, use compost and build fences for each seedling. One school in Khonsana Village took it a step further and assigned one or two students to care for each seedling. Seedlings were planted in rows on a hillside and each tree was surrounded by a simple, but functional chicken-proof fence.
Introducing a new plant in the school yard offers special benefits not only to the school, but to the whole community. While the students may not benefit directly from eating the leaves on a regular basis, they experience how to care for a tree, and learn the value of it as a vegetable. When the tree is larger, cuttings can be taken and grown at students' homes. In the meantime, teachers, some who reside in the school compound, will be able to incorporate this vegetable into their eating habits.
"We are excited to see this wonderful tree take root in this part of Laos," shares Jeffrey Knisely. "It's easy to grow, easy to eat and packed full of nutrients." MCC hopes that this new nutritious vegetable will continue to be embraced by the local community and that seeds and cuttings can be passed along to others.

Adam Boytinck scored the opening goal just four minutes into the game and it proved to be the game winner as the Athletics defeated the visiting Fahler Pirates 5 to 0 on Saturday night in Grande Prairie's home opener.
Brock Clement (with two), Rod Bowers and Andrew Buote also scored for the Athletics (2-1-0) as Darren Walker stopped all 21 shots he faced to earn his first shutout of the NPHL season.
Grande Prairie responded nicely following their first loss of the season Thursday night in Spirit River. The A's didn't let off the gas for much of the night peppering Pirates netminder Nick Deslongchamps with 50 shots throughout the course of the evening. Deslongchamps was solid throughout the game for the Pirates but the A's managed to provide some breathing room in the second period following three goals, two of which came on the powerplay.
Perhaps their strongest period the A's finished the third firing 19 more shots Deslongchamps way, the only one to beat him in the final twenty came off the stick of Clement who added his second of the night, both coming on the powerplay.
The loss pushes the Pirates record to 0 and 2, with the club failing to score a goal in each of their losses. They'll now look to get back into the win column as they host another winless team in the Grimshaw Huskies this Friday night in Fahler.
Having won five of their last six home openers Grande Prairie now heads back out onto the road for their only game of the week this Friday night as they make the trek across the border into B.C and to Fort St. John. The Flyers currently sit in first place tied with the Spirit River Rangers with a perfect 3 and 0 record.

The Legacy of the 'Little Rock Nine'
Fifty years ago today, nine black students attended their first full day of classes at the previously all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. Has the demise of legal segregation lead to integration on all levels of American society? Guests and callers discuss the racial separation that persists in neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship.

Well, it happened again. On my way home from errands this morning, I came across a beagle and a Doberman running loose through busy city streets. Clearly two dogs running around with each other and no human present is not a good sign, so I pulled my car over right away and hopped out to call them to me. As you'll see from this story, it's important to not take your dog's identity for granted.
The beagle look anxious and started towards me, but the Doberman seemed to be a very young, excited dog (my guess is that it was his idea to break loose!) and he sort of playfully frolicked away from me. So, I locked my car and took off running after them. I stayed close while not running full speed at them for fear of making them run into a street.
The Doberman did scurry out into the street a few times and then would bounce back towards his friend the beagle. I ran after them for about a half mile before a gentleman in a large pickup truck pulled down a side street and blocked their path. He kept them entertained with his own dog that he had inside his truck while I crept up behind the beagle and scooped him up. The beagle thankfully had a collar on with a dog license tag and an ID tag with his address and phone number (thank GOODNESS) but the Doberman had nothing.
At this point another woman pulled up in her SUV asking if we needed help, and we did! The gentleman put his own dog back in his truck and pulled out a length of rope that he had. I asked them woman in the SUV whether she'd mind putting the dogs in the back of her SUV and she agreed, so as soon as I placed the beagle in her SUV we were able to put the rope around the neck of the Doberman to keep him safe.
At this point we now had both dogs contained in the back of this kind woman's SUV. I got hold of the beagle's ID tag and the woman called the phone number and gave the owner a piece of her mind, quite to my delight I might add. Apparently the owner forgot he had let them out in the backyard and therefore didn't notice that they had actually escaped. The address was located a few blocks from where we were so thankfully the dogs had only galloped a few blocks and we were able to save them. Hopefully that dog owner will be more careful next time he lets his dogs outside. How lucky is he that #1 both of his dogs stayed together, and #2 kind strangers were able to capture both of them before they were injured, or worse?!
Moral of the story - make sure your pets have proper ID's on them. I always suggest keeping a sturdy collar on your dog that has their dog license along with an ID with their home address and a phone number to reach you, in addition to a microchip. You just never know what will happen, so it's best to have all bases covered to make sure you can get your baby back!

Our cacao powder originates from hand picked Ecuadorian Arriba criollo cacao pods. The beans are hand selected, fermented in specialized huts for approx. 3-4 days, sun-dried to perfection, crushed and winnowed (the skins removed). These nibs are ground in a granite melange and naturally liquefy (cacao beans are naturally high in fat containing approx. 45-60%). The liquefied cacao mass is transferred to a mechanical press where the cacao butter is removed. The remaining mass ('cake') is ground into a fine powder and packaged for your enjoyment. Our cacao does not go through a "Dutch" process nor alkalized in any way.
Our supplier sources fully mature ripe pods from trees grown in mineral rich volcanic soil. These trees are not irrigated from potentially contaminated rivers and streams. Our supplier works directly with the farmers (aka direct trade) and it is our goal to ensure that everyone along the supply chain is well taken care of. Happy workers = happy food= happy people. It is also our goal to provide great tasting, pure & the highest quality CACAO possible. We regularly lab test our products to ensure they meet specifications and the high standards our customers have come to expect.
GY CACAO has a deep, powerful, raw chocolate flavour. Contrary to popular opinion, cacao contains very little caffeine. It has been clinically demonstrated that cacao does not elevate blood sugar in the same way as a food or beverage containing caffeine would. Instead, GY CACAO helps to create an overall state of bliss :). And to take it next level, our cacao is low temperature processed from start to finish!
Tidbits to note about Cacao:
Ingredients: Cacao powder (made from non roasted Ecuadorian Arriba criollo cacao beans).

I am sensitive to molds and would have reactions to most chocolates. When researching mold free chocolates, I found Giddy Yo Yo. I ordered the paste, butter and powder. I could smell the wonderful chocolately scent befor I even opened the bags. I have made my own chocolates using all of the ingredients and it is heavenly! And the best part is I don't get the jittery, yucky side effects of consuming mycotoxins. Woohoo! Thanks Giddy Yo Yo! :)

I can't go one day without having some of Giddy Yoyo's cacao powder in my power shake. I have tried other cacao powders in the past, but, they just never cut it the way Giddy Yoyo's cacao powder has!
For ample power anytime of day make my power shake:
Add 1 heaping tbsp Giddy Yoyo cacao powder
1/2 maca powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp flax seeds
1 to 1 1/2 cups milk of choice ( I usually use either rice milk, almond milk or coconut milk)
Combine all ingredients, blend and pour into a glass.
Posted by Greg Bradshaw on 26th Feb 2015
I put 1/2 cup coconut milk in a pot with a glug of maple syrup. As it gets hot I tap in the heaping table spoon of Cacao powder and whisk it together. Without boiling the mix ,you add coconut milk slowly. Sorry but my little finger is my thermometer. I don't want to damage the cacao by boiling it, so check often. This makes 2 mugs full probably 3 full cups divided. By it self or with Kahlua and Bialys it is unbelievable and we have one everyday . Yes I am addicted I save the alcohol for the weekend, that could get expensive for everyday use. Fantastic product and it screams quality. Love it Love it Love it!!!!!

Puerto Morelos Beach
Low-Key Beach Vacations
Once a sleepy fishing village, Puerto Morelos is slowing growing into a favored destination in the Riviera Maya. Visitors love the feeling of simpler days and old Mexico charm in Puerto Morelos. This sea-side village has one of the finest and largest stretches of pristine beaches in the Riviera Maya that is easily accessed from the center of village.
Warm Clear Waters and Hospitable People Make You Feel Truly Welcome
The main beach in Puerto Morelos is located in the center of town by the Pelicanos Restaurant, just off the zocalo (town square). On both sides of the main beach are smaller, more private beach areas that are used by beach clubs, private properties and vacation rentals. Like the Playacar beaches, these areas service their guests first, with beach chairs reserved for condo residents and hotel guests. Head south to the nicest beach area where locals and repeat visitors love to hang out.
The Mesoamerican Reef, located 500 m off the shore, is home to numerous tropical fish, sea turtles and corals. The reef shelters the Puerto Morelos beach from rough surf and gives snorkelers an opportunity to view the sealife in the National Marine Park . Beach goers find the Puerto Morelos beaches to be the perfect place to swim, build sand castles and enjoy the Caribbean breezes. If you are itching to get into the sea and snorkel, we recommend using the various snorkel tour operators to fully enjoy the National Marine Park off the shores of Puerto Morelos. Though the reef may be close to shore, a boat ride to the best snorkel areas makes your trip into the Caribbean more fun, and a safer way to snorkel.
True to its historic heritage, Puerto Morelos beach has maintained its unique, laid-back appeal. The soft sound of waves lapping up on the shore naturally provides a relaxing ambiance that gives you days and hours of pleasure.
Even time seems to follow a slower pace in Puerto Morelos. Whether you are hanging on the beach, snorkeling in the sea or reading a book in a beach chair, you'll feel like you've always known this tranquil beach paradise.
A Word to the Wise: Puerto Morelos Beach
- Footwear is recommended for water entry
- Snorkeling and swimming are best when the seas are calm
- Snorkel and boat tours are offered by local fisherman and dive centers
- There is a big beach to the south past the freighter pier

Literacy in Ireland
In the past literacy was considered to be the ability to read and write. Today the meaning of literacy has changed to reflect changes in society and the skills needed by individuals to participate fully in society. It involves listening, speaking, reading, writing, numeracy and using everyday technology to communicate and handle information.

Alphabetical List of All Collections | Collections Listed By Subject
Collection Title: McCain (William D.) Pamphlet Collection
Collection Number: M393
Dates: 1935 - 1987
Volume: 2.0 cubic feet
Donor: The majority of the materials in this collection were transferred from the Mississippiana Collection and Cook Library in 1997. Leston E. Easterling, Sr. donated six items relating to the Easterling Family Genealogical Society on March 12, 2004.
Copyright: This collection may be protected from unauthorized copying by the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code).
Biographical/Historical Sketch:
William David McCain, fifth president of Mississippi Southern College (now The University of Southern Mississippi), was born on March 29, 1907, in Bellefontaine, Mississippi. He graduated from Sunflower Agricultural High School, received his bachelor's degree from Delta State College, his master's degree from The University of Mississippi, and his Ph.D. from Duke University. In 1967, the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters was conferred by Mississippi College.
Dr. McCain taught at East Central Junior College, Copiah-Lincoln Junior College, Millsaps College, The University of Mississippi, and Mississippi State College (now Mississippi State University). He served as Director of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History from 1938 to 1955. In addition, he worked as a historian at Morristown National Historical Park in Morristown, New Jersey (1935) and served as Assistant Archivist at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. (1935-1937).
In 1924, McCain enlisted as a private in the National Guard. He served with General Mark Clark in Italy during World War II, and also served during the Korean Conflict. Remaining in the National Guard, he rose to the rank of Major General.
McCain married the former Minnie Leicester Lenz on October 3, 1931, and they were parents of three children: William D., Jr., John W., and Patricia.
On May 19, 1955, he was elected president of Mississippi Southern College and assumed office on August 18, 1955. When he took office, Dr. McCain promised to "keep the campus dusty or muddy with construction," and during his tenure, twenty-five new academic and housing complexes were constructed.
Under McCain's leadership, the first complete reorganization of the academic programs into Schools and Colleges was accomplished. This action paved the way for Mississippi Southern College to become a university, and on February 27, 1962, the school was officially renamed The University of Southern Mississippi (USM). Another event of profound significance that occurred during Dr. McCain's presidency was the admission of USM's first African American Students, Gwendolyn Armstrong and Raylawni Branch, in September 1965. In the 20 years that McCain served as president, enrollment grew from 3000 in 1955 to more than 11,000 in 1975.
Dr. McCain retired on June 30, 1975. In his honor, the William D. McCain Chair of History was established in 1975, and in 1976, the William David McCain Library and Archives on the USM was opened and named in his honor.
Following his retirement from USM, he maintained an office in McCain Library, as President Emeritus, devoting much of his time to civic activities. He died on September 5, 1993, and is interred at Lakewood Memorial Park in Jackson, Mississippi.
Dr. McCain was a nationally recognized author, lecturer, historian, archivist and genealogist. He was a founding member of the Society of American Archivists and wrote several genealogical volumes, including histories of the McCain, Fox, Shaw, and Vance families. In addition, he wrote The Story of Jackson: A History of the Capital of Mississippi 1821-1851 (1953) and The United States and the Republic of Panama (1937)

Choice-of-Entity for Funding
Your average start-up guru, entrepreneur blogger, and business lawyer will recommend forming Delaware C-Corporations when seeking to attract VC funding. The theory is VCs refuse to invest in LLCs because operating agreements are often nebulous and legal precedent too uncertain. This "accepted" logic is so circularly cited that it seems impervious to exception. It's not. There is still a choice of entity.
It's true that VCs are comfortable funding C-Corporations; and if the corporate structure meets an entrepreneur's needs and desires in all other aspects of the business, then go for it... end of story. But if an LLC provides other strategic or operational advantages, it would be a mistake to presume LLCs are not fundable. Actually, LLCs can be and are funded by VCs – one need not look further than CMEA Capital, Idanta Ventures, and Andreessen to find LLC portfolio companies. There are, however, additional challenges presented by the LLC structure that the entrepreneur should be aware of and prepared to address - keeping in mind that these challenges may require more time and work (i.e. due diligence) on the part of the VC.
Take for example UBTI (unrelated business taxable income) tax. By law VCs, as limited partnerships, cannot invest in "flow through" tax entities like LLCs without triggering UBTI. Once triggered, the tax expense flows back up to the limited partners, who would be liable to pay the additional tax even in instances where the gain is characterized as a capital gain. It is not difficult to imagine the investor's displeasure with receiving an unexpected tax bill. What's worse, some limited partners in the VC fund are non-profit entities, which are disallowed from receiving UBTI. In fact, in some circumstances, a non-profit's status could be revoked upon receiving UBTI. For these reasons, VCs go to great lengths to avoid these occurrences. And C-Corporations offer a safe haven since they are taxed at the corporate level (i.e. C-Corporations are not flow through tax entities) and thus not subject to UBTI.
Of course, there are some fairly painless ways for LLCs and VCs to avoid UBTI. One option is to establish a "blocker corporation" for indirect investment. The blocker corporation is a C-Corporation that stands between the VC and the LLC. In turn, VCs invest in the blocker corporation and the blocker corporation invests in the LLC. This "blocker corp" effectively blocks UBTI from coming into the fund since UBTI will not pass through a corporate-level tax entity. The beauty of this alternative is the LLC founders can still enjoy a flow through tax status. Another option is for the LLC to simply elect to be taxed as a corporation rather than as a partnership or disregarded entity. Since the corporate-tax election will require the LLC to pay tax on a corporation level, there would be no flow through and thus no UBTI. The downside is that the founders would forfeit their flow-through status and there might also be additional tax consequences depending on the State of organization and how that State treats conversion (i.e. assets over merger vs. interest-over, etc…). So there are ways for VCs to invest in LLCs without triggering the dreaded UBTI; it just requires additional steps – again, more work.
It is worth mentioning here that, like LLCs, S-Corporations are also "pass-through" entities. They are then fraught with the same UBTI problem. But in addition, S-Corporations have another limitation: they can only issue one class of stock. And as such, VCs cannot get the benefits of liquidation preferences and other preferred terms innate to preferred shares. In addition, most VC firms are organized as partnerships or LLCs, which are not "natural persons." Therefore, many VC firms are precluded from investing in an S-Corporation. For these reasons, S-Corporations pose substantial barriers to attracting VC funding – even more so than LLCs. Nevertheless, and S-Corporation can always elect C-Corporation taxation to change its status if it is willing to incur the probable tax penalties associated with such a conversion. Thus, even S-Corporations can find a way if the deal makes sense.
Ultimately, funding a company with outside money is conceptually no different than any other sales process: a pitch is made, a price is set, and the investor either buys a piece of the company or not. It stands to reason then that if the goal is to sell a piece of the company in exchange for capital, the sales process should be streamlined for the buyer. To that end, the fashion in which a business is organized might play a significant role. Then again, if the investment opportunity is good enough, a few obstacles will not stand in a VCs way. Therefore, founders serve themselves well to consider the funding factor along with other factors to guide their choice of entity.

Bahrain has been severely affected by violence related to the Arab Spring in 2011. Protests have the capacity to quickly turn violent. It is a constitutional monarchy where the Shia majority feel unrepresented by the Sunni rulers. Before 2011 Bahrain was reasonably popular for its liberalism within the region. Alcohol is legal and there is some excellent shopping.
It consists of several small islands between Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The 25 km (16 mi) long King Fahad Causeway links the country to Saudi Arabia. The Bahrain Fort is a visitor attraction in good condition near the capital, Manama, and has an adjoining museum.
Why you should go:
It's westerner-friendly.
Why you shouldn't:
You like to talk politics.

What a great day it has been!Just finished styling the hair for Anne Hathaway for the Met Ball in NYC. She looked absolutely stunning in her breathtaking vintage Valentino dress.
When you've got a theme like 'Punk: Chaos to Couture' to work with, you know you're going to have a lot of fun!
We went with a really fun, strong Punk look that contrasts with Anne's delicate structure perfectly! To enhance her Punk look further we decided to take her hair to the next level: A new cool Platinum blonde colour and the sharp slightly boyish finish with loads of texture were the perfect match.
Drawing inspiration from unforgettable punk icons like Poly Styrene from X-ray Spex and Joan Jett, I decided to go for a look that's glam, edgy and yet very youthful and fun. We kept the style much shorter for Anne and had a lot of fun playing around with it.
If you want to recreate this look start by applying a golfball amount of Wella Professionals Styling Extra Volume mousse to damp hair and distribute evenly. This is the perfect start up product and will give your hair the foundation, hold & volume you want.
Then blow dry the hair into shape: ideally you should do this by using your fingers or a skeleton / fishbone brush.
Dry the longer hair on top back & upwards by gently pulling the hair away from the scalp to boost the volume and some lift to it.
Push, brush & dry the sides flat to the head backwards allowing them to set narrow to the head.
Once the hair is completely dry use a small amount of Wella Professionals Styling Bold Move styling paste. Spread the paste evenly between the palm of your hands and work the product through the mid length and ends to create a deep, slightly messy texture and really bring out the wanted break and disconnection between to long volumous top and the narrow sides and back.
Once you are happy with the overall shape, mist your hair with some Wella Professionals Styling Stay Firm Finishing Spray, this will ensure that your style will last all night.
Have fun recreating this look!

I guess the write-up that I saw in Art News (March 2010, p.9) on the San Antonio Museum of Art's up-coming show "Psychedelic: Optical and Visionary Art Since the 60's" has inspired me to create a little Op of my own. The show opens March 13, 2010 and closes on August 1. The catalog, featuring an intricate collage painting by Fred Tomaselli, will be published in April by MIT Press. (Nice interviews with Tomaselli here and here.)
Artists include: Isaac Abrams, Albert Alvarez, Richard Anuszkiewicz Chio Aoshima, Kamrooz Aram, Jeremy Blake, Richie Budd, Gordon Cheung, Judy Chicago, George Cisneros, James Cobb, Steve DiBenedetto, Carole Feuerman, Jack Goldstein, Alex Gray, Peter Halley, Al Held, Mark Hogensen, Constance Lowe, Erik Parker, Ed Paschke, Lari Pittman, Ray Rapp, Deborah Remington, Bridget Riley, Susie Rosmarin, Alex Rubio, Sterling Ruby, Julian Stanczak, Jennifer Steinkamp, Frank Stella, Philip Taaffe, Barbara Takenaga, Fred Tomaselli, Victor Vasarley, Michael Velliquette, Andy Warhol and Robert Williams.
My digital collage started with a scan of a lovely book by Paul Borey titled Les Cherchers De Quinquinas (Des Vallees De Caravaya A L'Amazone) dating from 1893. My house is built on ledge and the scanner is sensitive to the vibrations caused by passing vehicles. Inopportune traffic resulted in the weird color-separated effect, below.
I cropped the center of the image to get a framed circle, which I repeated and further manipulated using the brush tool on different colored backgrounds.
