The 'Rock Solid Pressure' Radio Show Moves To KWTF THE EDGE
Website: http://www.rocksolidpressure.com
The hit unsigned rock music gameshow 'Rock Solid Pressure' has left M4 Radio in Orlando, and has switched over to KWTF THE EDGE in Texas. The show will still be a live interactive net favorite among some cool changes to the format. The 4th season of the show, which just started a few weeks ago, was abruptly cut short when M4 Radio went off the air without warning. The staff of 'Rock Solid Pressure' wasn't even informed. With no warning, and a full roster of live guests for February, the show made an incredibly fast and smooth transition to KWTF THE EDGE.
The 4th season has resumed without missing a beat. The post game 'After Party' which runs year round, is also back with the usual lineup of outstanding live interviews, and of course, the best unsigned rock music in the world. Everyone has listened or played along with the 'Rock Solid Pressure' show, once, twice, or regularly throughout the years. It's been the rite of passage for net radio listeners and unsigned bands since 2002. Catch the 4th season in all it's raging glory every Monday night at 9:00pm EST USA time, exclusively on KWTFworldwide.com
The undaunted DJ team of 'J-Rock and Patty The Radio Girl' are back. Just in time to go head-to-head with The American Idol nonsense once again. The 'Rock Solid Pressure' show is for all performing rock bands and rock musicians with fanbases. This is one of the only, real 'legit' shots to get heard by many different high level record labels and A&R reps. It's not a pay-for-play scam that has been invading the underground musical community. This show is a well established vehicle with a proven track record. Careers have been launched and bands are being signed. And of course, there's 'never' a submission fee. But that's only the beginning of what this amazing show is doing.
J-Rock and Patty have been in the underground music scene for many years. J-Rock is a well known touring rocker and music journalist from New Jersey. Patty was an underground and corporate radio host from Connecticut. When the pair teamed up for 'Rock Solid Pressure', they literally revolutionized net radio with the fun, interactive gameshow. The post-game 'After Party' also became a huge success. They staged live interviews with the biggest names in the music and film industry. Corporate sponsors worked hand-in-hand with indie sponsors. Nothing like this has 'ever' happened on this level in the internet broadcasting world.
J-Rock and Patty have arranged and conducted live interviews with music and film giants such as BILL WARD (Sabbath), KMFDM, KANSAS, BTO, JOAN OSBORNE, GARTH BROOKS, JOHN BINGHAM (Fishbone), DH PELIGRO (Dead Kennedys), MICHAEL ORLAND (Music Director/Vocal Coach for The American Idol), THE TRACKBOYZ, SID HAIG & BILL MOSELEY (Stars of Rob Zombies HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES), JOE CERINI (VP A&R Sony Records), BRIAN ROTHSCHILD (Founder of THE JOHN LENNON SONGWRITING CONTEST), PRAY FOR THE SOUL OF BETTY, MOOGY KLINGMAN (Utopia), BARNEY REED (Killerspin star, you've seen him on CONAN O' BRIAN).. and many many more. All these huge names hit the After Party hotseat along with the hottest up and coming rockers in the underground, and the list is still growing..
Rock Solid Pressure was launched in 2002. The show enjoyed two giant seasons in Connecticut at Cameo Broadcasting in Hartford. Needless to say, the show quickly gained a worldwide, loyal fanbase. Live showcases for major label A&R quickly followed in the North East. The attention brought in major sponsors and supporters like MAXELL, THE JOHN LENNON SONGWRITING CONTEST, THE INDIE BIBLE, INDIE-MUSIC.COM, OLD DOG PRODUCTS, ICON MAGAZINE, NOLOPINS, and more. Record label affiliates include C.E.D. ENTERTAINMENT (which is a division of RED DISTRIBUTION/SONY BMG), CITY CANYONS RECORDS, SHUT-EYE RECORDS, and HALOGEN RECORDS. J-Rock also works extensively with major label A&R reps. The show took the web based musical community by storm. It came as an alternative to the pop sensations being bred on reality music TV and the glut of 'bad' music which was becoming the norm on net radio stations. Rock Solid Pressure looked at the other side of the industry that was being ignored by reality show producers. Well, it's no longer ignored, but it's been replaced by tons of pay-for-play scams and start-ups who are out to rip-off unsigned artists or lead them on with false hope. The show physically moved to Orlando Florida to hook up with M4 Radio in 2005 and continued it's success in a very unsupporting atmosphere.
The show was bigger than ever but the pair constantly dealt with adversity at M4. But, the hit show continued and the guests kept coming, no matter what. The pair fully expected the plug to be pulled. In fact, they 'thought' it was going to happen in March. From day one, everytime they left the radio station, they always felt it was their last broadcast. But a fledgling radio station really can't destroy a hit show, no matter how unsupportive they may be. J-Rock and Patty worked quickly to get their show to a high visibility station and the games continue..
The Rock Solid Pressure competitions deal with 'real' bands and artists who are ready for the next level in their career. There's no group hugs or teary eyed departures from non winners of this competition though. It's a win-win situation. Just being chosen for the show is an achievement. They are very selective and hundreds are turned down each year because they're simply not good enough for the high standard of the show. Rock Solid Pressure is also used as a fishing pool for many different A&R reps around the country. It's no longer the best kept secret in the underground and web based musical community, and the staff couldn't be happier..
Innovative, unique rock music that turns heads and breaks boundaries. There's many struggling artists and bands of that caliber out there and you'll hear them on Rock Solid Pressure. Wondering where the good stuff is? Well now you know. Past Rock Solid Pressure contestants have gone on to major and indie labels. Some being signed 'on the spot' at their yearly live showcases, which are continuing in central Florida. Others have won countless prizes and awards from their sponsors. Some have even gone on to ROCKSTAR INXS, E ENTERTAINMENT, FOX TELEVISION, MTV, VH1, one even 'won' THE OPRAH POP STAR CHALLENGE (go figure)..
Show creator and founder 'J-Rock' warns of the many imitators and rip-off's that have sprung up as of late though:
"Independant bands are challenged enough by recording and packaging fee's. They're constantly out there gigging for little or no cash. They're only looking for a bit of exposure to spread their name around. They should 'never' have to be caught up in a pay-for-play scam. ALL indie and net stations and show's of our caliber should be 'free' to submit. I'm getting sick and tired of all these 'start-up' stations that have little or no listeners, and are CHARGING for submissions. To me, these are all fly-by-night operations and should be avoided at all cost. Now we're seeing 'American Idol Underground' all over the net. What?? We gotta keep the American Idol out of our underground music scene. And guess what? They're charging for submissions. I want a revolution and Rock Solid Pressure is our way of keeping the 'real' underground alive and thriving. No Ryan Seacrest, No Simon Cowell. All that nonsense Isn't welcome here, and I think I speak for tons of people who listen to net radio!!"
Since leaving M4 Radio in Orlando and hooking up with the highly visible KWTF THE EDGE, the show took that giant, over-the-top leap it's been waiting for. Besides the worldwide net promotion of playlist artists and bands, the show will also be active in two states, Texas and Florida, for local coverage of concerts and music events. Rock Solid Pressure will also be unveiling a new crew of 'in the field' reporters and new 'on air' personalities..
J-Rock sums it up:
"It was really a blessing in disguise that M4 pulled the plug. It was a very un-supportive situation and we're happy it only lasted a year. We took a giant step backward, but we're back on track with KWTF. THE EDGE is quickly becoming the hottest rock station in the world. It's fully licensed, so you'll be hearing all your favorite hard rock/metal standards along with the best unsigned stuff. We're extremely happy and we can once again feature the music of our respective superstar guests when they come on the show."
Upcoming guests for February and March include: HANZEL UND GRETYL, LES DUDEK (Steve Miller Band, Stevie Nicks), JUSTIN RITTER & LEE PERKINS (Director and star of the cult film 'Katie Bird'), JOSHUA GREENE (friend of GEORGE HARRISON and author of the book on his life HERE COMES THE SUN), and more..
Rock Solid Pressure airs every Monday night at 9:00pm EST USA time exclusively on KWTFworldwide.com

Do you want to chat with a missionary?
We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Start a chat or call us at 1-888-537-6600.
Hi I'm Chelsea
I'm a full time student, a future missionary, and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a full time student with hopes of becoming an X Ray Tech. My school was VERY difficult to get into. I am blessed that my parents were able to help me with this process. I am about a year into this vigorous Radiography program and am taking an 18 month break smack in the middle of an intense 2 year consecutive Associates program to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was never my plan growing up to serve a mission. I supported those who did, but felt my purpose was to finish school. It was in a class at school that I felt the overwhelming feeling that I NEEDED to serve a mission. The more I pushed the feeling away, the more it pushed back, each time getting stronger. The Lord answers our prayers, sometimes in ways we do not expect. I know it is Heavenly Father's plan for me to serve a mission and bring people the same happiness that I have in my life from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm thankful to be a part of a church that brings such happiness and light to the lives of many.
Why I am a Mormon
I was brought up a member of this church and have been learning it's teachings all of my life. Even in growing up in the church, there comes a time in everyone's life when you really have to decide what you want for YOURSELF. Even in times of doubt, I saw the happiness and love in the hearts of those around me and knew I was exactly where I needed to be. The Lord has countless times shown me that His church is the only church on earth today that can bring such happiness and blessings to those who live by it. I never had an overwhelming moment where all of a sudden it hit me that the church was true. Little by little, piece by piece, I acquired a testimony of the church's teachings through studying the scriptures, prayer, and living by it's standards. I always realized I was much happier when living the values of the church.
How I live my faith
I live my faith by striving to do better every day. I try my best to do the things I have been asked to do, by the Lord, by the presidency of the church, and by my local church leaders. I attend my church meetings on Sundays. I attend a mission preparation class at the Institute, which is a building where people who are members of the church and also those who are not can take classes to further educate themselves in the church's teachings. I surround myself with good friends who care about me and look out for me. I participate in church activities and socials. Most importantly, I stay away from situations where living my faith and having high standards would be difficult.

Yesterday while eating a bowl of fruit salad, I commented that I wondered where the "straw" in "strawberry" came from. My mom and wife both chimed in, saying that it referred to the straw that farmers put on the strawberry plants to protect them. I said that that sounded interesting, but not like a very convincing etymology. To appease my curiosity, I did a bit of searching. From the OED:
[OE. stréaw-, stréow, stréa-,
stréuberie, f. stréaw STRAWn.1 + berie BERRYn.
No corresponding word is found in any other Teut. lang. The reason for the name has been variously conjectured. One explanation refers the first element to
STRAWn.1 2, a particle of straw or chaff, a mote, describing the appearance of the achenes scattered over the surface of the strawberry; another view is that it designates the runners (cf. STRAWn.1 3).
The view of Kluge, that OE. stréaw- in
streawberieis cogn. w. L. frgumstrawberry, is not phonologically satisfactory, and is also open to objection on other grounds.]
And a bit more from Wikipedia:
The name is derived from Old English strēawberiġe which is a compound of streaw meaning "straw" and berige meaning "berry". The reason for this is unclear. It may derive from the strawlike appearance of the runners, or from an obsolete denotation of straw, meaning "chaff", referring to the scattered appearance of the achenes.
Interestingly, in other Germanic countries there is a tradition of collecting wild strawberries by threading them on straws. In those countries people find straw-berry to be an easy word to learn considering their association with straws.
There is an alternative theory that the name derives from the Anglo-Saxon verb for "strew" (meaning to spread around) which was streabergen (Strea means "strew" and Bergen means "berry" or "fruit") and thence to streberie, straiberie, strauberie, straubery, strauberry, and finally, "strawberry", the word which we use today. The name might have come from the fact that the fruit and various runners appear "strewn" along the ground.
Popular etymology has it that it comes from gardeners' practice of mulching strawberries with straw to protect the fruits from rot (a pseudoetymology that can be found in non-linguistic sources such as the Old Farmer's Almanac 2005). However, there is no evidence that the Anglo-Saxons ever grew strawberries, and even less that they knew of this practice.
The bold is my doing.
So, apparently, my mom and wife are not alone in thinking that the name is derived from putting straw on the plants.
The explanation based on the Anglo-Saxon verb streabergen is intriguing. I'm not sure where the Wikipedians came up with it, though. As far as I can see, there's no citation for the explanation, and the OED mentions nothing similar.

Jude's new book isn't out until this fall, but she's thrilled to giveaway to one winner his/her choice of a copy of her, I Can't Remember Me or if they want: A Joy Restored (again, available this fall) . Leave a comment and email address for a chance to win it!
Now for her interview . . .
How long have you known that you were a writer? Did you receive a clear "call?" Or have you just loved writing all your life?
Carole, I did not feel a 'call' to write, but have loved reading ever since I can remember. I had read nearly every book in the library by the time I finished elementary. The desire to write was probably born in that school library and I scribbled in diaries, wrote poems, prayers and articles for many years. Even won a contest or two.
I can say my real passion to write hinges on two historical events in my life.
The first. My adult daughter was driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, had a car wreck in which her little six- year-old son was killed and she suffered a life-threatening traumatic brain injury. After a long, dark period of time, the Lord led us to tell her story in book form as a means of healing and testimony of God's mercy and redemption and the absolute miracle of her recovery. Writing that book was one of the hardest things I have done, yet one of the most rewarding.
Of course, that book was nonfiction, but from there I continued my fiction efforts, but, to be honest, with minimum success. I thought I had forever to perfect my writing, when my second hinge of history occurred. After a routine exam, I received the diagnosis of thyroid cancer. The lab report had to be pushed in front of my nose and my doctor's nose to make us believers.
From there, I rearranged my life to include writing fiction.
Oh, my. You are a brave woman, Jude. What is the genre you write in? Would you explain what it is?
I continue to write inspirational nonfiction. That is just a part of me. For the past year I have written an inspirational column for Maximum Living, a magazine with focus on spirituality and wellness. But most of my time is spent writing fiction. I like to say I write women's fiction with inspirational romance elements. Women's fiction to me is the story of a woman's journey, which may or may not include romance. I just like to include romance. What's life without romance?
Too true! How do you spend your writing days? Do you set goals to reach a certain number of words per day? Can you give us a general idea of how long it takes you to write a novel?
Ugh! Some days not as well as I'd like. My laptop is on my dining room table (sigh, can I covet Deb Raney's fabulous office?) and the beautiful scene of nature outside my windows pulls me astray far too often. BUT, my goal is to reach my ergonomic chair in front of my laptop by 9:00 am. I'm a fairly early riser and get everything done first, even dinner planned. From there I GO! If I get 2-3 hours of pure writing in, I am satisfied. As you know, there's a lot more to this business than making words. Liz Curtis Higgs has certain days she does administration, marketing and writing. I wanna be like her! But we all have the same 24 hours in a day. It's just how we use them.
My second novel took about a year interspersed with work, volunteering, church, and family. You know the drill don't you? My third one must be done quicker. I have a deadline of eight months. We do get better and faster. But I'll never be real fast.
I love days when I get lots of writing done! Tell us about your new book. What is the spiritual message in it? What can readers expect to get from reading it? How and where can readers buy your book?
The title is Joy Restored. It is about a young, widowed mother who is healed in broken places. She blames God for the death of her disturbed, Vietnam vet husband and in the process almost misses the incredible love offered by a rich, Christian widower.
The message is timeless. God is still there through our darkest times. My heroine finds that with God tragedy can turn to triumph. Readers can expect delightful characters and a wonderful love story.
Joy Restored is being published by Desert Breeze Publishing and will be available in electronic form in November. It will be carried by Desert Breeze, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other electronic venues. It is book one of the Chanute Crossings Chronicles and book two will be out June 2012. My mother's 1930's sweet love story with the same setting will be a free bonus download with my book.

Carole, I have emotionally quit several times, but never literally. Once, the rejections from my so-desired Christian Publishers were so not forthcoming, I decided to take the Christian out of my story. At my next agent meeting (with an agent I really, really wanted) she asked, "Where's the faith element?" I was terribly humbled and had no cogent reply. A strong faith element has been there since and always will be. No matter the number of rejections.
Who's inspired you the most?
This is not hard to answer. I think real heroes are missing today, but I'm always on the look out. In short and in hindsight, I'd say my mother was and has been my biggest inspiration by far. Simply by her life.
Would you explain how you "chose" (or were chosen by) a publisher? Do you just go "inny, minny, miny, moe?"
I called my first publisher because author submission guidelines were missing from their web site. One thing let to another and she asked for a proposal. A God thing.
The second publisher had a request for submissions on our ACFW Loop and I answered. And she answered. It's very important though to study publishers to whom you submit. Make sure the house fits your genre and subject.
Now, that you're published, can you sit back and relax from the success you've experienced?
Come on, Carole! Though that does happen (think JK Rowling), it isn't often. I'm just thankful for what small success I have had. It means a lot to me for many reasons.
LOL. Well, I have to ask, don't I? Do you mind telling us some of your likes and dislikes? Hobbies, interests? Where would you like to travel if you could?
I hardly dislike anything and have far too many likes! That's why I get distracted from writing.
- I love nature and love to travel.
- Biking and walking suit me just fine.
- Love jazz and classical music.
- Have just learned to knit and am learning to play the piano.
- Am fascinated with genealogy.
- After God, my passions are people and places.
- My college minor was anthropology and I've always enjoyed other cultures.
- I've been blessed, in my nursing career and otherwise, to travel to quite a few places in the world and this has given me a broader understanding of mankind. I've always wanted to see Siberia. Instead, God gave me a wonderful Russian neighbor and I read The Long Walk. Now I don't want to see Siberia so much.
Don't write a book unless you are willing to market it and plan to spend about 2 years doing that. Create a local, state and national marketing plan. Be brazen.

Yahoo! The Summer 2010 issue of Kobold Quarterly is overflowing with chewy gaming goodness. And if you're just in the mood for some amazing art, cover to cover is full of spectacular full color and black and white art, starting with "The Paladin's Treasure" on the front cover. We all knew Paladins were adventuring for something other than the mythical dragon hoard… but don't tell that to the dragon!
Just in time for Gen Con this summer, the Kobolds were busy bringing theory and practice together to provide inspiration for gamemasters and players alike. But if you're looking for loot, there's plenty of that too. As Wolfgang Baur, Kobold-in-Chief, explains in his Editorial – generosity is not an optional quality for good leaders. Viking jarls knew better than to not treat their berserker hordes to good meals, handfuls of gold, and public recognition for great deeds. Wolfgang and his own talented horde do that in each issue of Kobold Quarterly, so I doubt his audience will turn on him any time soon…
I was intrigued in this issue by the wide array of articles – from a detailed description of how to play an Aasimar (angel avatars used to fight evil in mortal realms) from Kolja Raven Liquette to an intriguing ecology article from R. William Thomposon about the Tengu I had no idea were as civilized as they seem to be. The Tengu have intrigued me ever since college when we ran into a few in a session, but now I might have to play one as an NPC!
Also in this issue was the concept of beefing up the ability of "Lay on Hands" for healing. Remember that paladin from the front cover? Laying on hands is one of his abilities that can take a bit of the pressure off the party MASH unit cleric. Though we recently were playing through one of the Pathfinder modules, we were playing in D&D 3.5e and not the Pathfinder revised system, but the more I see of how they've tweaked this and that the more I think we should have tried it out. Giving a paladin the ability to remove the effect of a Charm spell, Confusion, Dazzle, or even recent Death would seriously make me look twice at having both a paladin and a cleric in my party.
And one last article I'll mention here is "Hoard Magic" from Michael Furlanetto. Dragons love their treasure hoards. We all know it. So why shouldn't they be able to get a bit of power from that wealth? Combat powers based on the size of the dragon's treasure pile might make a particular critter that much more difficult to kill. If you were defending your pile of gold, wouldn't you want to have an edge in protecting it? And then, if the PCs are wise enough to take advantage of similar effects, wouldn't that make a player think twice before leaving his home to go on another adventure?
Issue 14 managed to capture my attention with articles on characters, design, DMing, treasure, and the usual columns (don't miss the interview with Rob Heinsoo!)… Doesn't it deserve some of your love as well? Though I (once again) was unable to attend Gen Con this year, Kobold Quarterly gives me a taste of that glory a few times a year, so I think I'll survive. Just barely though!
If you're interested in fantasy roleplaying and all the amazing topics that surround it, check out the summer issue of Kobold Quarterly and all the other issues as well. We have to keep those kobolds busy and out of trouble before they come invading our own campaigns… Instead of the "Trouble with Tribbles" it's the "Kinks with Kobolds"…
(This review first appeared here: http://www.gameknightreviews.com/2010/09/magazine-review-kobold-quarterly-summer-2010-issue-14/)
Kobold Quarterly is easily the best RPG magazine currently available with top-notch writing and a great look - it reminds me of a better looking version of the original Dragon magazine I grew up reading. Even the ads are interesting to read. KQ #14 lives up to previous issues with a variety of interesting articles spanning the various forms of D&D now available. It's not exactly cheap for a PDF but considering it only comes out 4x per year and the contents are always good, it's worth the price.
In the Editorial, Wolfgang Baur muses on Viking styles of leadership, the 'ring-giver' ensuring a loyal following by distribution of largesse: by such standards, Baur's following must be vast, given the quality and quantity of the material held between the covers of the latest Kobold Quarterly.
First up is a D&D 4e version of the Aasimar as a character race. Effectively immortal avatars of angels, they tend to exhibit a very pragmatic approach: they will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Some have been around for a very long time, but whenever an aasimar mates, an aasimar results whatever the other parent might be, so new ones are produced every so often, even if angels no longer seek to create them to serve their patron deity in your world. Interesting story potential here!
Next a delightfully circular article which presents Pathfinder stat blocks and details of some fictional characters, items, spells, etc., which appear in the novel Prince of Wolves... which is set in the Pathfinder core world of Golarion in the first place! It's reviewed later on in the magazine as well.
Then comes one of the renowned 'Ecology' articles. This issue it is the turn of the tengu, flightless avian humanoids. Useful background if they are to be encountered, or if a brave player wants to take one as a character in their next Pathfinder game. Continuing with the Pathfinder ruleset (although applicable wherever they occur) this is followed by a discussion of variant rules for the Paladin's ability to lay on hands - extra healing abilities always come in handy! (Sorry)
Looking next at treasures, a new and exotic idea: perfume! The ladies like it, tis said, and mediaeval towns tended to be smelly places... so why not introduce them to your game world, either as pleasant odours or even with magical properties. The article shows how you can embed the concept into your game world, rather than just have a few pleasantly-scented bottles in the next hoard. More novel ideas in the next article, which looks at ways other than brawling to solve conflicts, even when playing D&D 4e! Here a skill battle is suggested, pitching the characters' skills against those of their opponents in some manner of contest, either an out-and-out race to accomplish a goal or a more subtle 'balance' where each side can negate the others' efforts as well as succeed in their own. An example is given of characters attempting to prevent a bunch of Drow from opening an interdimensional rift - a refreshing change from the normal approach of stopping them by hitting them!
More innovation in treasure... does the presence of massive amounts, say a dragon's hoard, actually warp its surroundings? Written for D&D 4e, this rules variant means that a significant teasure hoard may exert an effect on the neighbourhood... even once it's been looted from its original owner and is now in the characters' possession! More ideas for paladins follow, in the shape of alternate codes for them to follow - not all of them follow the 'King Arthur knight in full plate' image and, depending on deity and paladinical order (if they belong to one) their whole outlook may be quite different.
Next, Monte Cook muses on the tension between 'storytelling' and 'playing a game' that's inherently a part of any role-playing game. Thought-provoking stuff, followed by an interview with game designer Rob Heinsoo and more treasure ideas, these ones close to my heart - books! Complete with adventure seeds that making finding these tomes more than an exercise in profit calculation. Then a whole street stall of various bric-a-brac that too is a potent source of adventure. And then, Ed Greenwood expounds on what makes characters memorable and why it's important to a great campaign that they are... each page turned, more treasures unfold! How to create feats... fantasy languages... games that wizards plays (think a wizarding Olympics!)... moral choices in Dragon Age... I doubt I'll have fully digested this issue before the next one comes out!
And that sums it up: a wealth of excellent articles that delight, inspire and provoke thought. If you like to think about your games as well as play them, you'll enjoy this, whatever game you actually play - and if your choices include Pathfinder, D&D 4e or indeed fantasy in general, you have a treat in store here.

I initially thought about writing a short introduction about Venice and its canals. But then I decided to abandon this idea because they are a well-known phenomenon and there are so many of them that it is very difficult to make a frame without a canal present in it. Because the whole essence of Venice lies in its canals.
Probably the best view of Venice opens from the top of St Mark's Campanile: each of its four sides shows Venice from a different perspective.
The Fog
Venice. It happened a couple of days before Christmas. I left the station and dipped into the thick fog. It was so thick that one could hardly see the opposite side of the Grand Canal.
This shot was made during a vaporetto ride to the St Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco in Italian). It seemed to be the only building whose contours were visible at that time. That very moment was truly unforgettable.
Night over Venice
It was a foggy day. I was in a hurry for the train heading back to Florence. I was in front of railway station with the last frame left abailable in my Pentax 67 camera.
Well, just made the shot with no waiting for a great result. But I like it so much.
The man and the bridge
Winter evening in Venice. A smoky haze fills the air and adds a hint of magic to the atmosphere.
At that moment I felt as if I had traveled back in time to the Middle Ages and was seeing a clocked nobleman before my very eyes.
Boats in the fog
It was a dark and foggy winter evening in Venice. And there was only one man walking around and talking on the phone. I stood waiting for him to end his conversation and leave the "stage". I'd been waiting there for so long that it became quite dark.
In the end, I was taken with his lonely figure and how it fit in the "stage". Interestingly, the resulting image doesn't look like an evening scene. The rough grain of the paper adds artistic expression to the image.

Into Great Silence review
A detailed review can be found here. I'd agree with most of what Mr. Fitzpatrick says, adding that the film can get a little tedious at points. I can only take so many minutes of pondering the same scenic view of the snow-covered monastery. The good bits more than make up for any shortcomings, however. Favorite scenes included an afternoon of some of the younger brothers frolicking in the snow and a very sweet interview with an elderly brother about being joyful in the face of death because it means going home.
All in all, Into Great Silence is a stunningly beautiful film, and I would recommend seeing it if it is playing near you. I think it has the potential to do a lot of good for vocations. There was a group of very arty, film-student-types in front of me in the theatre, and afterwards, their general consensus was "well, that was interesting. Their life looks really cool." If it can get that sort of response from guys with spiky hair and eyebrow piercings, just imagine what it could do for someone on the verge of discerning a vocation.

Ann Lopez speaks about pesticides and farmworkers
OVERVIEW OF THE WORK OF THE CENTER FOR FARMWORKER FAMILIES by Ann Lopez, founder
The Center for Farmworker Families was developed as a response to conditions that I encountered in the central California farmworker population and in the rural farming communities of west central Mexico while working on a doctorate degree at the University of California at Santa Cruz. Mexico had an estimated 9000 year old organic, agro-ecological farming culture with a strong farmer attachment to the land. The genetic diversity of traditional corn strains was so great that Mexico had become the world's repository for corn genetics for the world.
I studied the impact of NAFTA (North American Trade Agreement) on the farms and families of Mexico….
What I found in my study was profoundly disturbing. NAFTA eliminated the tariffs at the border that once protected subsistence and small-producer farmers from foreign corn competition. Within 30 months of the tariff elimination, GMO corn from the U.S. poured into Mexico by the ton load. The cheap U.S. corn destroyed the economy of the rural countryside by undercutting the price that farmers had once received at government outposts for the sale of a portion of their harvest. Almost immediately after NAFTA, the value of the Mexican farmers' corn was literally cut in half.
Unable to support themselves on the post-NAFTA income, farmers had three survival choices: 1) stay on their land with their families and starve (many have done this since they are so attached to their land), 2) move to a big city in Mexico and try to find work, and 3) risk an undocumented border crossing to the U.S. as economic refugees. Today, approximately 75 % of California's agricultural labor force is undocumented; living in poverty in the shadows, with a constant fear of deportation and separation from family members.
I realized upon the completion of my doctorate that I had to do something to ameliorate the suffering that I learned about in families on both sides of the border. ... Hence, I started the Center for Farmworker Families. We became incorporated as a 501(c) 3 in 2012.
The purpose of the Center for Farmworker Families is to promote awareness about the difficult life circumstances of binational families while proactively inspiring improvements both in the United States and in Mexico.
We realize this purpose by engaging in the following activities:
Research and promoting the educational advancement of farmworkers and their family members working in agriculture, as well as family members who are living on their farms of origin in the west central Mexico countryside.
Supporting projects in both Mexico and California designed to sustainably promote financial and nutritional well-being and independence.
Examining the federal and state legal structures that govern the lives and well-being of farmworkers and promoting the changes necessary for improved livelihood and well-being.
Farmworker Reality Tours: One of the most effective way for the public to learn about the lives of farm-workers is to meet farmworkers in person and hear their stories. The Center for Farmworker Families offers Farmworker Reality Tours for the purpose of informing the public.
Groups can sign up for a tour online. Participants have an opportunity to observe a farmworker as he picks strawberries. They also visit the migrant camp and hear about the 50-mile regulation and the incidence of wage theft. Finally, we conclude the tour with a visit to the home of an undocumented farmworker mother of four citizen children who is renting a substandard house in central Watsonville. She prepares a delicious traditional Mexican dinner and tells her story. During the dinner, we discuss immigration, and participants reflect on the experiences of the day.
The Oaxacan Shed: ... The farmworkers live impoverished lives in crowded conditions with their family members and other Oaxacans who contribute to the household by providing a share of the monthly rent for an overpriced substandard dwelling. Most farmworkers work six days per week; up to thirteen hours per day and experience grinding poverty; barely surviving on an average of $12,000 per year. Oaxacan farmworkers specifically are among the most impoverished of farm-workers in the region and suffer discrimination, both from the society at large and even from other farmworkers.
The Oaxacan Community Shed, ..., is supporting the most recent Oaxacan farmworker family arrivals. The Center stocks the shed monthly with basic necessities that farmworkers cannot afford to purchase, including baby diapers in all sizes, baby wipes, paper towels, toilet paper, rice, beans, shampoo, bath soap, laundry detergent and dish soap. The 40+ families that regularly visit the shed are so in need of these essential items that they travel to the shed from all over central California...
We stock the shed at the beginning of each month and need financial help to continue our work.
Slug Tutoring Program: One reason that many of the children of farmworkers do so poorly in school is because parents or other adults in the household don't speak English. School assignments are in English, and most children of farmworkers are struggling to perfect their English skills. Without a fluent English speaker to assist them, farmworker children have little chance of completing school assignments successfully.
The Slug Tutoring Program ... is a program in which any farmworker family that wants tutoring assistance for their children can be assigned a UCSC student tutor/mentor to visit their home once per week and receive assistance with assignments. The program has proved to be beneficial to both slug tutors and the children. The tutors are exposed to a way of life probably never experienced before, and the children receive school assignment assistance and mentoring to promote an interest in and future success in education.
If you have further questions about our organization, please don't hesitate to call me at 831-335-5492. Thank-you!

The past 48 hours has seen a Twitter showdown like no other - and it all started with one simple rant; Nicki Minaj crying over the fact neither "Anaconda" or "Feelin' Myself" were nominated for Video of the Year at the VMAs.
It may not have been confirmed in any official capacity but it's no secret Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" video was a dig at nemesis Katy Perry.
Yesterday afternoon, Katy felt compelled to take to Twitter and give us her two cents: "Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman..."
Spelling and grammatical errors aside, we have to say, Katy's got a point. After all, Tay Tay did recruit an ENTIRE girl gang full of fashion and entertainment's hottest young blood for her latest video.
Continuing on, Katy also drags Rihanna into the spat..."The real travesty where is the shine for #BBHMMVideo when VMA eligibility period was 7/7/14-7/1/15 & that gem dropped 7/1...@MTV"
We look forward to what RiRi's got to say about that. But where the hell is Beyonce? And why hasn't SHE defended Nicki? Is this all a publicity stunt? Will someone get smacked at the VMAs?!??
Scroll right to WATCH RiRi's BBHMM and shop below to steal Katy's style from the 2011 AMAs...when she, Nicki and Tay Tay were all peas in a pod.

Dar es Salaam. Annual wholesale prices for all major foodstuffs declined in April 2018 from prices recorded in the corresponding month in 2017, excluding rice.
According to economic monthly review published by the Bank of Tanzania (BoT), only whole prices for rice increased by 10.1 per cent.

However, prices for other major food crops including maize, sorghum, finger millet, potatoes and beans went down.
For maize, a wholesale price went down by 59.8 per cent to Sh42, 662.3 per bag of 100kg in April 2018, while the same bag of maize was Sh106, 166.4 April last year.
The wholesale price for sorghum declined by 42.4 per cent to Sh76, 636.7 per bag of 100kg in April 2018 from Sh132, 964.9 recorded in April last year.

NEW YORK, June 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research by IgnitionOne, a global leader in cloud-based digital marketing technology, revealed that year over year (YoY) paid search spend for tablets and smartphones are up 116% and 106%, respectively, in the US.
The report, which highlights trends across digital advertising, also revealed that US programmatic display spend increased 130% for retail advertising and 156% for travel advertising YoY in Q4. Both verticals saw average clearing prices exceeding two dollars.
These figures are released quarterly by IgnitionOne, which powers more than $30 billion in revenue each year for leading brands through digital marketing solutions.
Key findings in the report:
- US search spend grows year over year (YoY) – Search spend in Q2 was up 7% when compared to Q2 2012. This is an acceleration over the YoY growth rate of last quarter.
- US retail sees strong growth in paid search – Retailers saw robust growth in activity and spend in Q2. Impressions were up 24% and search spend increased 18% YoY.
- Huge increases in mobile advertising continue – US Mobile devices saw a triple-digit increase in spend for both smartphones and tablets with a 106% and 116% YoY increases, respectively.
- Programmatic Display - US programmatic display had an impressive showing in Q2 for retail and travel. These verticals saw spend increase 130% for retail and 156% for travel YoY in Q2. The average clearing price in Q2 for retail was $2.07 and for travel, $2.41.
- Google Enhanced Campaigns –In these early days of the migration to Enhanced Campaigns, we are seeing a jump in both cost and CPCs. Presumably this is driven by two main factors, an increase in competition in the mobile and tablet space as well as a loss of granular/ keyword level control of the mobile and tablet channels.

Flyers douse Flames in Keenan's returnby John Kreiser
|Daniel Briere, center, spoiled Mike Keenan's debut behind the Flames' bench by scoring two goals in Philadelphia's 3-2 win.
Keenan's Calgary Flames climbed out of an early two-goal hole against Philadelphia, only to give up a late goal to Daniel Briere, the Flyers' big offseason addition, in a 3-2 loss that spoiled his return to coaching.
The Flames came out lifeless under their new coach, allowing goals to Briere and Mike Knuble in the first eight minutes.
Daymond Langkow got one back in the second period, then tied the game at 12:46 of the third period when he redirected Alex Tanguay's laser pass behind Martin Biron.
But Briere, who signed a big free-agent contract with the Flyers after scoring 95 points with Buffalo last season, took Simon Gagne's lead pass, went in alone and beat Miikka Kiprusoff with 1:48 remaining in regulation to spoil Keenan's first game behind the bench since Nov. 8, 2003, with the Florida Panthers. Keenan had been out of hockey since Sept. 3, 2006, when he resigned as the Panthers' GM.
''We did a great job of getting back in the game and we kept coming in the second and third and eventually we got the equalizer,'' Flames captain Jarome Iginla said. ''It's a tough way to lose, but we have to look at ourselves and know that we can't spot teams a lead like that and have a start like that.''
The Flyers were Keenan's first stop in a career that has seen him serve as a coach or general manager with eight NHL teams. He led Philadelphia to the Stanley Cup Final in 1985 and 1987, losing both times to the Edmonton Oilers.
Flames GM Darryl Sutter, an assistant under Keenan in the early 1990s, hired his old boss this summer after last spring's first-round playoff loss under Jim Playfair, who was demoted to the role of associate coach.
"I expect a lot. I don't think there's anything wrong with that," Keenan said before the opener. "If you have high expectations, if you raise the bar for the players I think they'll deliver and they'll push themselves to be better.
The Flyers signed Briere to an eight-year, $52 million contract this summer after finishing last in the overall standings for the first time in team history.
''We're trying to create a new identity for ourselves and we don't want to talk about what happened last year," Briere said.
''It was pretty cool, but it's not just about me. It's about the team, but there's no doubt that personally it feels great to help your team and doing your part for a big win like tonight."
Rangers 5, Panthers 2
Briere wasn't the only ex-Sabre who was a hit in his first game with his new team. Chris Drury, who grew up in a suburb of New York City, said signing with the Rangers this summer was a dream come true. Drury lived up to his reputation as one of the NHL's most clutch players with the game-winning goal in his Madison Square Garden debut.
Drury, a 37-goal scorer with Buffalo last season, set up Michal Rozsival's goal 37 seconds into the game, then scored the game-winner at 8:46 of the third period. That goal highlighted a rally that saw the Rangers score four times in less than six minutes to overcome a 2-1 deficit.
Drury ended up with a goal and two assists, delighting a sellout crowd that included his parents as the Rangers won their third straight season-opener – something they hadn't done in 50 years.
Senators 3, Maple Leafs 2
The Battle of Ontario continues to be one-sided.
One night after the Senators beat the Maple Leafs in Toronto, they did it again in Ottawa before a sellout crowd of 19,857 at Scotiabank Place, extending their domination of the Leafs over the past two-plus seasons to 14-2-2.
Daniel Alfredsson's second goal of the game, a power-play tally with 4:59 left in regulation, gave the Senators the home-and-home sweep.
"I didn't have much to shoot at, but I was able to put it in the corner," Alfredsson said of the shot that beat Vesa Toskala, who made his debut in goal for the Leafs.
Alfredsson also scored in the first period, as did Dany Heatley, who scored twice in Toronto on Wednesday and had the game-winner in OT.
The Leafs got second-period goals 32 seconds apart from Alex Steen and Mats Sundin. It was Sundin's 389th goal as a Leaf, tying Darryl Sittler's franchise record.
Lightning 3, Devils 1
Vincent Lecavalier is off to a fast start in his quest for a second straight Rocket Richard Trophy.
|Vincent Lecavalier scored twice in Tamps Bay's 3-1 win over New Jersey.
"He's the best player in the league," Devils goalie Martin Brodeur said of Lecavalier. "He got a couple of quality chances and beared down on it."
After Brian Gionta put the Devils ahead with the only goal of the first period, Lecavalier tied the game midway through the second, then converted Vaclav Prospal's pass for the game-winner. Prospal hit the empty net with 58 seconds remaining. The third member of the Bolts' big line, Martin St. Louis, had three assists.
"The game breakers took over," Tampa Bay coach John Tortorella said.
The game was the first of nine in a row on the road for the Devils, who won't play their home opener until Oct. 27, when they open the new Prudential Center.
Predators 4, Avalanche 0
Nashville lost a lot of talent over the summer. But on opening night, the Predators looked every bit as good as the team that finished last season with 110 points, as new No. 1 goalie Chris Mason stopped 35 shots and Jason Arnott scored twice before a near-capacity crowd at the Sommet Center.
Arnott got both his goals in the first period, defenseman Dan Hamhuis scored in the second and J.P. Dumont added another in the third as the Preds knocked out starting goaltender Peter Budaj.
"We have read that our team is not going to score as many goals as last season," Arnott said of the Predators, who lost forwards Paul Kariya and Scott Hartnall as well as high-scoring defenseman Kimmo Timonen during the offseason. "We know we have guys in this team who can score. But it is a combination of everybody having to contribute."
Wild 1, Blackhawks 0
Minnesota's young goaltender trumped Chicago's kid forward as the Wild stayed perfect in season-openers at home.
|Niklas Backstrom didn't allow a goal on 27 shots in the Wild's 1-0 win.
'He played as good as he could play. You could say that he won this game for us,'' coach Jacques Lemaire said.
Bouchard knocked in Eric Belanger's cross-crease pass for the only goal against Nikolai Khabibulin, who stopped 23 shots.
More painful for the Hawks is the potential loss of Martin Havlat, last season's top scorer. The speedy forward, whose career has been marked by a series of injuries, hurt his shoulder on a punch in a scrum late in the third period. Coach Denis Savard said Havlat was injured trying to protect himself, and Havlat – who was sent for X-rays – was wearing a sling. He will have an MRI on the shoulder Friday to determine the severity of the injury.
Oilers 3, Sharks 2, SO
It's a whole new season in Edmonton, where the young Oilers are trying to erase the memory of last season's collapse that saw them win just twice in their last 20 games. A shootout win over the powerful Sharks is a good way to start.
Jarret Stoll got the winner in the fourth round after the Oilers allowed San Jose to tie the game on Joe Thornton's power-play goal with 11 seconds left in regulation.
The game was scoreless for 40 minutes, then turned into a goal-fest in the third period. San Jose's Patrick Marleau scored 26 seconds into the third period, but Edmonton took the lead on goals by Tom Gilbert and Kyle Brodziak. Thornton scored with Edmonton defenseman Sheldon Souray in the box and San Jose goalie Evgeni Nabokov on the bench for a sixth attacker.
''It's a great story when you have a lot of young guys here and helping,'' Edmonton coach Craig MacTavish said. ''Now we just have to see how substantive it is. Those guys made plays, and it was good to see that they didn't get caught defensively.''
Coyotes 3, Blues 2
Another year, another winless opener for the Blues.
Phoenix got third-period goals 12 seconds apart from Mike York and rookie Daniel Winnick to take a 3-0 lead, then hung on to extend St. Louis' winless streak in season-openers to 10 games. The Blues are 0-6-4 since beating Colorado to start the 1996-97 season.
Keith Ballard scored midway through the second period for the Coyotes. Keith Tkachuk and Brad Boyes had goals for St. Louis. Rookie defenseman Eric Johnson, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 Entry Draft, made his NHL debut and assisted on Boyes' goal.

Per royal tradition, Kate Middleton and Prince William will be choosing not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, but 6 godparents for Prince George. In some ways, it really takes the pressure off of the royal couple, because, as any godparent-bestowing parent knows, picking just two can be daunting. But in other aspects, sheesh. It almost makes offending people all the more easy. If you're friends or relatives with the Duke and Duchess and you're not chosen, what does that say about you?
The selection process is already underway, and although it will likely be a bit of time before all 6 are chosen, one godparent already has reportedly been selected. And, shockingly, it isn't Pippa or Harry.
Guy Pelly, one of William's best friends, has apparently been selected as Godparent Numero Uno for Prince George. Pelly is a prominent nightclub owner in London and, based on reports, is a bit of a controversial choice for a "role model" for the little prince. In 2012, Pelly was charged with drunk driving after reportedly being stopped going 129 on a local street. He also was caught smoking marijuana at a party Prince William attended. Regardless of people's opinions, though, Pelly is "thrilled to bits" to be one of George's godparents. As he should be. Good for him.
Regardless of the image the public has of Pelly, I'm sure William and Kate are perfectly capable of selecting people who they think would be a positive influence on their son's life. And hey, now George will be able to get into the hottest London nightclubs before he's of age! Just kidding. Kind of.
The only thing I'm finding surprising is that Pippa or Harry hasn't yet been asked to be a godparent -- at least to our knowledge. If 6 people are to be picked, they seem like no-brainers. Why wouldn't we hear about one of them first?
We've got 1 down and 5 to go, so now we just have to wait to see who's next. (But seriously, it has to be Pippa or Harry ... right?)
