The kids rock!
The power of youth and music is celebrated in "School of Rock — The Musical," a savvy crowd-pleaser for all ages.
The energy, vocals and (sometimes blaring) rock 'n roll lift the national tour, which opened Tuesday to laughter and cheers at the Ohio Theatre.
While composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has written far more tuneful scores, the tour makes clear why his collaboration with author Julian Fellowes and lyricist Glenn Slater sparked his most popular new Broadway musical in decades.
Director Laurence Connor highlights the comedy without undermining the emotional drama of the somewhat-implausible wish-fulfillment fable about a struggling rock-singer/guitarist who poses as a substitute teacher and transforms a class of fifth-graders for a Battle of the Bands.
All 12 child actor-singers are wonderful. The kids really do play their instruments and play them well – such as Phoenix Schuman, a strutting stand-out on guitar as Zack.
Gianna Harris reveals a lovely voice as shy Tamika, but Olivia Bucknor's Shonelle and Chloe Anne Garcia's Marcy also shine on backup vocals.
Ava Briglia is amusing as by-the-rules Summer, while Theo Mitchell-Penner is endearing as "uncool" Lawrence, who finds his inner Elton John on keyboards.
Dewey Finn, the wanna-be rock star played by Jack Black in the 2003 film, is the biggest kid of all in the two-act 2 1/2-hour show.
Avoiding any obvious Black impersonation, Merritt David Janes (who replaces Rob Colletti at some performances) gives Dewey an impish bad-boy charm while reveling in his own melodramatic antics.
Despite Dewey's immaturity, narcissism and shameless opportunism, Janes never obscures the childlike innocence of his 21st-century Music Man.
Although a house band backs most adult actors on their songs, the "kid" actors play their instruments for "School of Rock" and a number of other songs, with Dewey joining many of them on guitar.
As Rosalie, the strict prep-school principal, Lexie Dorsett Sharp initially fulfills cartoonish expectations. Finally given the chance to humanize her martinet character in the second act, Dorsett Sharp seizes her opportunities to rock out in "Where Did the Rock Go?"
The late-blooming romantic relationship between Rosalie and Dewey, though, remains token - probably the least-believable plot twist.
Solid comic support comes from Matt Bittner as timid Ned, Dewey's roommate and old friend, and Emily Borromeo as Patty, Ned's domineering girlfriend.
Some in the versatile ensemble make their own satisfying transition from controlling and worrying parents to delighted and proud rock fans — but the audience is way ahead of them.
JoAnn M. Hunter's limited choreography is at its best whenever the kids jump up and down like seasoned rockers. That kind of exuberance truly captures the spirit of youth — and this show.

W/out going into details of how I learned this or why (top secret stuff, kids... top secret stuff), following is my public service announcement for the month.
Blogging Don'ts (Unless You Want to Get Fired)
1. Blog when you're supposed to be working. Unless you can count it as lunch or something.
2. Write something identifiable (e.g. your company name, your name, etc.) if you don't want your work to find it. As I've been told by several people at my company *after* I was hired, if you're working here, you've been Googled.
3. So you don't care if people read your blog? Good - I don't either. But if you do and you're going to be very funny, but kinda mean, and you don't want to get busted then I suggest hiding your blog. Burying the damn thing, really.
4. Write from your work computer. This only matters if a) you care about them finding it and b) you're saying anything unflattering about anyone you work w/.
I'm sure there's more but I'm drawing a blank. See it's tough b/c I also feel strongly that you shouldn't have to censor yourself and also I get bugged when people make "don't do this or else" lists, so I'm not really the best person to be writing this anyway. Plus I really like what my friend Jenny told me a long time ago: "If you weed yourself out by your own truth then that's not a bad thing."
Sleepways is best ways.
But before I go, tonight was the last night of consultant training. For our celebratory dessert we got Sprinkles cupcakes. CUPCAKES??!! What am I, superhuman? I must be b/c somehow I, Fruit Cleanse Girl, ended up with two servings to take home. I told Dre (I've dropped "The Coveter" even though she still deserves the title) that she could have two and I'd have the other two in a few days. Sadly, driving home with those creamy mounds of goodness (mind...gutter...out), I even thought about the way I would wrap them *just so* to best protect them while they lay in waiting to be eaten. It was a beautiful plan.
I got home, put the cupcakes on the counter, and went into my room to talk to my friend Josie for the next hour. When I got out, I walked into the living room, told Dre that she could have the vanilla and chocolate ones to which she announced that it was too late, she'd already eaten the peanut butter ones. Wahhhh!!! She ate the ones that I was going to eat five days from now???!!!
Dude, what the f&*ck? I asked her. ('Scowled' is probably a little more accurate.)
Don't swear at me, she answered. She had a point -- even I was surprised by my burst of anger over a simple cupcake. (Though if you've been to Sprinkles you'd give me a *little* more rope.)
But that was mine, I whined.
I'll get you another one when you get off this cleanse IN 12 MORE DAYS.
I reminded her that technically I only have 5 left. The conversation ended when she agreed to explain to me just how and when she'd get me my replacement (she works in Century City and would go to Beverly Hills as soon as I get off of it).
You see, I'm here thinking I've been doing pretty good so far, and then you put a box set of cupcakes in front of me and I lose it like a feral animal who hasn't seen food in a week. It's got me wondering if all I've been doing over the past 15 days is repressing those sugar habits when in truth they're just lurking in the shadows waiting to spring up just when I think I've beaten 'em.
Stay tuned. Riveting stuff, folks.

The Notre Dame Council on International Business Development was founded in 1989 by a group of dedicated students at the University of Notre Dame under the inspiration of Rev. Theodore Hesburgh and in collaboration with the current benefactor, Mr. Frank Potenziani. These students recognized the changing nature of the global economy, and how companies could no longer concentrate solely on the domestic market. The students believed these changes offered a meaningful opportunity to gain valuable business experience.
Through their vision, they formed what has become the largest student-led organization on Notre Dame's campus. Known since 2000 as the Student International Business Council (SIBC), the SIBC seeks to fulfill its vision of "Peace through Commerce" by interacting with global companies and organizations, while educating its members and the Notre Dame community on the different aspects of international business. Since its inception, the group has grown from a small activity within the business college to the largest student organization on campus, and now includes over 800 active members from both the University of Notre Dame and St. Mary's College.
Students are elected annually to serve on the SIBC's Board of Directors, which includes an Executive Board and Directors of the Council's five divisions. While the mission within these divisions has remained consistent, the project base has grown to include over 60 academic projects each semester. Besides offering students the opportunity to participate in semester-long projects, the Council now supports more than 30 international initiatives annually. The Council has also expanded to campuses beyond Notre Dame, as sister chapters of the SIBC have been launched at Benedictine College and the University of San Diego.
The SIBC draws upon the resources of the University, comprehensive library research, a distinguished faculty, and a close relationship with the vast network of dedicated Notre Dame alumni, including the International Business Council. These opportunities allow SIBC members to expand their horizons and gain international exposure to a variety of business disciplines. The SIBC encourages students from all majors and interests to become active members of the organization with the hope of bringing a variety of perspectives to issues regarding international business and economics.
At the core of the Council are the students. The SIBC was founded by a group of undergraduates and has continued to grow under the undergraduate student body. This unique student-focused and student-led organization has allowed students to build upon their education, learn from their experiences, and shape the direction of the Council going forward.
Early on, students recognized the imperativeness of having not only more academic exposure to international topics but also real-life experiences worldwide. This realization caused students to demand an evolution in their undergraduate educations to include a broader range of global topics.
"Peace through Commerce" has been an underlying belief and driving force of the Council since its creation. Why commerce? Because it encompasses every facet of life and relationships, it is blind to boundaries and physical differences, and, in its best form, it seeks to enhance life and living.
Not an ordinary student club, but rather a Council of hundreds of students organized in a businesslike, yet highly entrepreneurial hierarchy. This perfect blend of formality and flexibility allows the Council's positive impact on the world to be all the more significant.

Research Interests
Neuroengineering: Based on my previous experience as a Neurosurgeon, several areas of brain function are being currently studied and modeledusing engineering tools. Among them is the design of a computational model of Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) dynamics and by extension, the patho-physiology of communicating hydrocephalus is included.
In collaboration with other members of the department, new ways of measuringaltered functions of the nervous system are being developed. (e.g.:Quantification strategies in spasticity)• Non-Linear Dynamics of Biological Systems: being conscious of theimpact and potential of non-linear dynamics, complex systems and chaostheory for the analysis and description of biological systems, and human interaction; we have developed a study group for this particular purposes in the BME department at NJIT.

Around a month ago, I went to London with my family for a day trip, I haven't been to London since the Olympics was on last year, so I was very excited!
We got the tube from Epping right into the centre at Whitehall, where we visited the Imperial War Museum. This was a really valuable experience which educated me about how Winston Churchill lived in his underground bunker during the manic years of the war; it is amazing that such a big space was underground so near to the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. Myself and my family are very interested in history so this seemed the ideal way to kick off our day.
Next came some sight-seeing around Hyde Park, Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden. We nipped into lunch at Pret a Manger on the stand and followed this by a bit of shopping in Covent Garden which was lovely in the summer heat.
We then walked down to Piccadilly Circus and went to a Hagan Daaz restaurant which we had previously been to in Paris several years before and had the most amazing ice cream meal. This was followed by more wandering around the city and going to the Shard which is massive! We then got back on the very very very busy tube (it was a bank holiday) and headed back home! Here are some snaps from the day:
Morning snack on the tube!

Just finished up this little bucolic Baltimore County farmscape today. This is a small glimpse of the acreage on a road that parallels the road we live on. I pass by this property nearly everyday. And it changes drastically when the sun begins to set. The sky really is a washed deep magenta and storm clouds roll in from behind, especially last week following a gorgeous 60 degree day (in January!). By evening, a cold front with some precip began to push at the sun and it created the most stellar 5:30 pm that I may have ever seen.
I tool some photos, and this little piece is a product of them.

48"x72" Acrylic and Artist's Ink on Museum Canvas.
This piece was in the "Artists across Maryland" show in celebration of Gov. Hogan's inauguration. It was by invitation only and probably the biggest surprise I got that season! I've marked it down due to space. It's huge and got tons on interest during the show. Clearing up the studio!
I've reduced the price on this piece to clear out the studio!
Ruby is our younger daughter. I painted this after watching her nap in a chair with her legs dangling over the arm. She was four at the time, and now she's nearly twelve.
This piece is for her so not for sale, but I can create a piece in the same style with a photo for commissions. A 24x24" would be $850, with 30% down. I also have payment plans as low as $100 per month until a piece is paid off. I've purchased art and textiles for myself this way many times.
I donated this piece to the Collector's Choice event through the Maryland Federation of Art, so it has a new home! Please contact me for prints or similar work to commission. I do not create like pieces, however, I will work in the same style and subject. Price is based on desired size of canvas. I also work on paper from time to time. Contact me via email for more info.
This piece is headed to Germany to keep a priest friend company while he's away from home, missing Maryland, so it is no longer for sale. Commissions are however availible in a similar style.
This is one of the first paintings I ever did. Very proud of it but would love to see it find a new home.
It's been five years since I painted this and although I would like to keep it, I just don't have the space. Would love for it to go to a family of five!!!
Cleaning out the studio! This piece is $200 or $350 for both pieces in this series. Inquire on contact page.
I've reduced the price on this and the accompanying piece because I need more space in my studio. I am offering free shipping to patrons who wish to have the pair.
This painting is a work directly from a photo that I took at Zion National Park in 2013.
New price of $200 or $350 for pair to include companion piece. Inquire on contact page.
Cleaning out the studio! Marked this piece down to $200 or $350 for both pieces in this series. Inquire on contact page.
No Longer For Sale.
I gifted this piece to a dear friend who had her eyeball on it for three years! I guess persistence pays off sometimes....
This painting was a study. The very same view as many other paintings of this subject, but I was experimenting with pastels over the acrylics, blending and outlining. This piece is 48x48 and is now for sale at a deeply discounted price as it was more of an exercise than a piece that I was looking to get juried into a show. The palette is vivid.
Tangled Up in Blue
Acrylic and Ink on Canvas
This painting has been updated with green / gold highlights and is currently available after being in a show at West Annapolis Artworks.
I painted this for a city-themed show in Annapolis. It is the companion piece to "Mercury Ville" which has a new home.
This is a very linear piece and a departure from my loose brushwork...more like a hyper controlled acrylic and ink sketch. It is very much based on a photo I took in Bangkok at a Metro station. The city has such electricity....I though the abstract lines outlining the buildings captured that...
A study of a birch grove photo I took while in Northern Michigan in 2013. I've always had an odd birch fettish, and this was my first attempt at capturing the textured bark on canvas.
10x20 Acrylic on Canvas (unframed)
Paintings recently reduced to $325 each or $550 for the pair, including shipping. Cleaning out the studio!
This piece is also marked down.
It has been in three gallery shows and gotten many, many accolades, but alas, I need the space, so she's up for sale at half my initial asking price.
This is based on a photo of my Lilly sleeping when she was just eleven years old. This is for her so not for sale. This piece was juried into a North American show through Maryland Federation of Art in Annapolis.
I do take commissions though and can create a one of a kind painting based on photographs of someone you love. A 20x20" is $650.
I painted this fifteen years ago in a little (shabby) apartment in East Lansing, Michigan, while my husband was working on his MBA and I was just starting to feel comfortable at the easel.
Over the years it has been in galleries (particularly in one across from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Galleria, Cleveland.
I think I'm ready to let go of her to the right person so inquiries may come to me on contact page.
Reduced to $325 or $550 for Zion pair, including shipping.
This lovely little piece is taken directly from a photo I shot in 2013 at Zion National Park. Includes driftwood / barn wood style 3" wide frame.
Acrylic on Canvas in Custom Solid Wood Espresso Floating Frame
I find it peculiar how humans are often cataloged after death, particularly when forensics are involved. I hope to never be a piece of meat on a big cookie sheet...
I love our flag. The colors, the meaning behind the stars and stripes, and how each detail illustrates the patriotism of the first official citizens of the U.S.A. I was feeling patriotic (nothing new to me) and wanted to create a painting of my ideal way to celebrate the nation's independence....so here you go! I suppose it's a family portrait of sorts...

Still working on this piece. After the paint dried, some of the colors seemed off so I'm reworking (yet again!). Hand in there--this piece will be finished off tomorrow (4/21_

Hundreds of Catholics have been declared saints in recent decades, but few with the acclaim accorded Mother Teresa, set to be canonized by Pope Francis on Sunday, largely in recognition of her service to the poor in India.
"When I was coming of age, she was the living saint," says the Most Rev. Robert Barron, the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. "If you were saying, 'Who is someone today that would really embody the Christian life?' you would turn to Mother Teresa of Calcutta."
Born Agnes Bojaxhiu to an Albanian family in the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia, Mother Teresa became world-famous for her devotion to the destitute and dying. The religious congregation she established in 1950, the Missionaries of Charity, now counts more than 4,500 religious sisters around the world. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her lifetime of service.
Humanitarian work alone, however, is not sufficient for canonization in the Catholic Church. Normally, a candidate must be associated with at least two miracles. The idea is that a person worthy of sainthood must demonstrably be in heaven, actually interceding with God on behalf of those in need of healing.
In Mother Teresa's case, a woman in India whose stomach tumor disappeared and a man in Brazil with brain abscesses who awoke from a coma both credited their dramatic recovery to prayers offered to the nun after her death in 1997.
"A saint is someone who has lived a life of great virtue, whom we look to and admire," says Bishop Barron, a frequent commentator on Catholicism and spirituality. "But if that's all we emphasize, we flatten out sanctity. The saint is also someone who's now in heaven, living in this fullness of life with God. And the miracle, to put it bluntly, is the proof of it."
No other Christian denomination posits this notion of an individual in heaven mediating between God and humanity.
"It's not a little supernatural, it's completely supernatural," says the Rev. James Martin, S.J., whose book, My Life with the Saints, recounts his own spiritual journey. "But that's the difficulty a lot of people have with religion. The invitation is to say, 'There's something more than the rational mind can believe, and are you OK with that?' "
Roman Catholic authorities embrace the idea of miracles from heaven with such confidence that they invite skeptics to challenge them. Before candidates qualify for sainthood, the miracles attributed to them must be proven. If someone is suddenly healed after praying to a would-be saint, the Vatican has doctors verify there's no medical reason for it.
A group advocating sainthood for Marguerite d'Youville, a nun who lived in 18th century Canada, for example, sought an alternative explanation for the sudden recovery of a woman with incurable leukemia who had prayed to the nun 200 years after the nun's death. The assignment went to Dr. Jacalyn Duffin, a hematologist at Queen's University in Ontario.
Duffin agreed to do the investigation, but only after warning the group that she was not herself a believer.
"I revealed my atheism to them," Duffin says. "I told them my husband was a Jew, and I wasn't sure if they'd still want me. And they were delighted!"
The group reasoned that if Duffin, as an atheist, found there was no scientific reason the woman should have recovered, who could doubt it was a miracle? In fact, after her investigation of the woman's recovery, Duffin agreed that the woman's healing was — for lack of a better word — miraculous.
Intrigued by the experience, Duffin investigated hundreds of other miracle stories chronicled in the Vatican archives in Rome. She came away convinced that "miracles" do indeed happen.
"To admit that as a nonbeliever, you don't have to claim that it was a supernatural entity that did it," Duffin says. "You have to admit some humility and accept that there are things that science cannot explain."
A few miracle stories in recent years have involved nonmedical situations, such as when a small pot of rice prepared in a church kitchen in Spain in 1949 proved sufficient to feed nearly 200 hungry people, after the cook prayed to a local saint. More than 95 percent of the cases cited in support of a canonization, however, involve healing from disease.
Hard-core rationalists would not be likely to see such cases as evidence of a "miracle," even while acknowledging they have no alternative explanation. Devout Catholics, on the other hand, readily attribute such occurrences to God, no matter how mysterious they may be.
"In a sense, it's a little arrogant of us to say, 'Before I can believe in God, I need to understand God's ways,' " says Martin. "To me, that's kind of crazy, that we could fit God into our minds."
Canonization procedures have undergone a series of reforms in recent years. Pope Francis has instituted changes to make the promotion of a candidate less subject to organized lobbying efforts. In fact, Vatican authorities routinely interview at least a few people who doubt the suitability of someone for sainthood. (Among those contacted during the early stages of Mother Teresa's review was Christopher Hitchens, who wrote a highly critical assessment of Mother Teresa's work, calling her "a fanatic, a fundamentalist and a fraud.")
The miracles requirement has also changed over time. In 1983, John Paul II reduced the number of miracles required for sainthood from three to two, one for the first stage — beatification — and one more for canonization.
Some Catholic leaders have called for the miracles requirement to be dropped altogether, but others argue vigorously against this. Bishop Barron says that without the miracles requirement for sainthood, the Catholic Church would offer only a watered-down Christianity.
"That's the trouble with a liberal theology," Barron says. "It tends to domesticate God, make everything a little bit too neat and prim and tidy and rational. I kind of like how the miraculous shakes us out of a too-easy rationalism. We'll affirm everything great about modernity and the sciences, but I'm not going to affirm that that's all there is to life."
In one sense, the sainthood of Mother Teresa may speak to present-day Catholics in a way previous canonizations did not. Martin, editor of the Jesuit magazine America, notes that in a posthumously published collection of her private journals and letters, Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light, the nun so widely revered for her spiritual purity acknowledged that she did not personally feel God's presence.
"In my soul I feel just that terrible pain of loss," she wrote, "of God not wanting me, of God not being God, of God not existing."
Martin says Mother Teresa dealt with such pain by telling God, "Even though I don't feel you, I believe in you." That statement of faith, he says, makes her example relevant and meaningful to contemporary Christians who also struggle with doubt.
"Ironically," he says, "this most traditional saint becomes a saint for modern times."
On Sunday, Pope Francis will declare Mother Teresa a saint. That's the end of a process that began back in 2003. The Vatican spent more than a decade examining her qualifications. To be a saint, you must be associated with two verified miracles, and that process offers some insight into Catholic teaching. NPR's Tom Gjelten reports.
TOM GJELTEN, BYLINE: Mother Teresa will be just one of hundreds of people declared saints since John Paul II was pope. But Robert Barron, a bishop in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, says her case is special.
ROBERT BARRON: When I was coming of age, she was the living saint. You know, if you were to say, who's someone today that would really embody the Christian life, you'd turn to Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
GJELTEN: It's no simple matter to embody the Christian life. To become a saint, one normally has to be associated with at least two miracles, and they have to be proven. If someone is suddenly healed after praying to a would-be saint, the Vatican has doctors verify there's no medical explanation for it. A group advocating sainthood for a nun in Canada asked Dr. Jacalyn Duffin to investigate the sudden recovery of a woman with incurable leukemia who had prayed to the nun 200 years after the nun's death. Duffin, a hematologist at Queens University in Ontario, agreed after warning that she was not herself a believer.
JACALYN DUFFIN: I revealed my atheism to them. I told them my husband was a Jew. And I wasn't sure if they'd still want me. And they were delighted.
GJELTEN: Delighted because if she, an atheist, found there was no natural reason the woman should have recovered, who could doubt it was a miracle? In fact, Dr. Duffin agreed that the woman's healing was, for lack of a better word, miraculous. The two miracles linked to Mother Teresa had to be likewise verified. A woman in India whose stomach tumor disappeared and a man in Brazil who woke up from a coma had both credited their recovery to prayers offered to Mother Teresa after she had died. Intrigued by her experience with the woman cured of leukemia, Dr. Duffin investigated hundreds of other cases in the Vatican archives. She came away convinced miracles do indeed happen.
DUFFIN: To admit that as a non-believer, you don't have to claim that it was a supernatural entity that did it. You have to admit some humility and accept that there are things that happen that science cannot explain.
GJELTEN: Hardcore rationalists wouldn't be likely to call these things miracles, even while acknowledging they have no obvious explanation. Catholicism says they involve heavenly intervention. A miracle can happen if you pray to someone who is with God and therefore advocating on your behalf directly to God. Bishop Barron says this is why the Vatican says it's not enough that a candidate for sainthood has had an exemplary life on Earth.
BARRON: The saint is also someone now who's in heaven, living in this fullness of life with God. And the miracle, if you want to put it this bluntly, is the proof of it.
GJELTEN: Proof that the would-be saint is actually in heaven - a supernatural explanation.
JAMES MARTIN: Absolutely. It's completely supernatural.
GJELTEN: James Martin is a Jesuit priest and editor of the Jesuit magazine America. He says, if you have a problem with the supernatural, you probably have a problem with religion or God in general.
MARTIN: In a sense, it's a little arrogant of us to say, before I can believe in God, I need to understand God's ways. To me, that's kind of crazy - that we could sort of fit God into our mind. There are some things that happen that we cannot possibly understand.
GJELTEN: Pope Francis wants to reform the canonization process, making it less subject to organized lobby efforts. But the two-miracles requirement is likely to remain. Bishop Barron of Los Angeles says, without it, the church would be left with a watered-down Christianity.
BARRON: There is the trouble, if you want, with a liberal theology. It tends to domesticate God, make everything a little bit too neat and prim and tidy and rational. I kind of like how the miraculous shakes things up and shakes us out of a too-easy rationalism. We'll affirm everything great about modernity, you know, and the sciences and everything else, but I'm not going to affirm that that's all there is to life.
GJELTEN: There's one irony about Mother Teresa's canonization. Father James Martin says that her diary writings revealed after her death that, for the last 50 years of her life, Mother Teresa didn't actually feel she was in touch with God.
MARTIN: At one point she says, in my heart, I feel that terrible pain of loss, of God not being God, of God not wanting me - I'm paraphrasing - and of God not existing.
GJELTEN: In the end, Father Martin says, Mother Teresa tells God, even though I don't feel you, I believe in you. He points out that she once suggested she would be called a saint of the darkness. Though she was seen in traditional terms during her lifetime worthy of veneration because of her devotion to the poor, Mother Teresa becomes, after her death, in Martin's words, a much more modern saint, a saint for all those Christians today who doubt and struggle with their faith.

text: Hi all, I have had my Droid 2 for about 5 months and absolutely love it. I don't know why I haven't ever joined the forum before because I love learning what there is to know about my Droid that I haven't found yet. Me, my husband and daughter all have the same brand and are all into learning what this phone can do. So, if there is anything fantastic/outstanding that has come up that we can't normally find out by just "surfing" (is that the right word? ) around through apps or whatever by all means please feel free to let me know. I am a grandma of 11, and just turned 50 but am definitely not a "typical" grandma. I love learning all I can about anything technological and try to keep current with the trends to a certain degree (nothing worse than 50 and over acting like they are in their 20's). My husband (54) is old school and I had to pull him kicking and screaming into getting a smart phone and now I can't get him to put it down. I look forward to hearing from you all! AZpurple:heart:

Short of it having the 9999 LCD games, the Power Joy Voyager functions exactly the same as the Power Joy. I find this one to be more unique in design and a lot easier to shove in a bag and take on the road. Although they made different cartridges for the Power Joy, I believe the PJ-007 is the only one they made for the Voyager.

Power Joy Voyager - The Last Voyage?
If I told you that I have a portable Famiclone you would most likely assume I was talking about a Super Joy 3 or a Power Joy. What if I said it was in fact a Power Joy, but it was in the shape of a quasi Game Boy Color, played "9999" built in games on an LCD screen but also played NES games from a Game Boy style cartridge? Well its all true, and that Famiclone's name is the Power Joy Voyager.
4 comments:
Do you know where I could find one of these for sale online, or even better, the Dr. Boy, which looks closer to the Gameboy DMG, but with a Famiclone adapter AND a Gameboy looking Famiclone cart? I'm a Famiclone collector AND a Gameboy collector, and there are a few mods for the Gameboy that might help me out with a project I wanted to get made...ReplyDeleteReplies
I do not know where to get one of these online. I'm trying to purchase one of the adapters from the Dr. Boy as we speak, oddly enough.Delete
How much does it cost to get a joy boy like that and were to go to get it please let me know when everReplyDelete
thank you so much

As you all know i have suffered from bloggers block! but last night (as you should be reading this) i sat down and wrote out a handful of blogposts, this one included obviously, woohoo lets all happy dance :) So anyway what easier way to battle bloggers block than to show you what i will be taking to me in IMATS! Pretty simple but yes it's something i have googled, so hopefully someone will find it helpful or interesting.
First up are all my technical bits and bobs, i am going with the intension of vlogging my trip, yes! so hopefully you will want to watch that (if it is successful) i have never vlogged before so it should be interesting to see if i can manage it with out getting too shy and to see if Adam can cope with me being an idiot talking to my camera the entire time! Sorry in advance Adam :) I've also got my iPhone which is a 5s along with some headphones for listening music just in case i need them for any reason last time i travelled on the train i ended up feeling really sick so i could of done with my headphones to take my mind off things, and of course as iPhones aren't the best battery i have my wall charger and a portable charger which is my all time favourite buy, i got it from amazon for £15 and it really has been a life saviour!
Obviously, as i am a beauty obsessed person i will have to keep some make up supplies for the day, so these are just a selection of my favourite bits at the moment. I have been loving the Dr Jart BB cream with my mac mineralise skin finish. I have also popped a lip balm on there as well i suffer from dry lips and a lip balm is always useful!
Next are just some bits which i wouldn't really put into a category but i still needed to bring along. I do suffer with migraines and headaches quite a lot so hopefully and fingers crossed i won't have any headaches on the day but just in case i have paracetamol and tablets in my bag, along with plasters just in case because you never know! I have a scrunchie in case i decide to change my hair, some tissues, deodorant, a comb and playing cards as i said earlier i got really sickly on the train before without my headphones these was what i bought to help take my mind off feeling really sickly and it worked! I also have some Vaseline as that is always handy! I will also be bringing cash along as i hear sometimes the card machines play up an awful lot and i don't often carry cash so i must make sure to pop to a cash machine before hand!
Hopefully i haven't missed anything out, but i am super excited to travel down to London on the Friday to get prepared for IMATS on the Saturday! Will i be seeing any of you there? What will you be taking in your bag?

Recently I was interviewed by Make Magazine for their series Meet the Makers. You can listen to the podcast here. What follows is some extra links, photos, and resources that help illustrate the projects I mentioned in the interview.
I was incredibly flattered when Mark Frauenfelder asked me if I wanted to be one of the makers interviewed for the MAKE Podcast. I jumped at the chance. Now, having concluded the interview just a few minutes ago I wanted to share some links to the projects I mentioned, offer up a little further reading, and provide downloads for the open source designs I alluded to during my chat with Mark.
Here is a picture of the metal rod tensegrity structure I mentioned. Here's a photo of the load bearing one that was a class project way back in college.
I talked for a bit about Smooth-On, the company that makes a whole bunch of mold making and casting projects, and how they had a tutorial on getting a metal look using cast plastic and metalized powder. I've found the relevant section inside one of their Youtube videos here. You might also want to look into the SFX powder pigment Pearl-Ex for playing with adding cool colors and effects into your casting/sculpting projects.
If you'd like to find out more about my huge mobile pipe organ project, The Anywhere Organ, you can find pictures up on Flickr, a running record of the progress I'm making up on its Tumblr, video of it in action here, and downloads for the design on Thingiverse. Continue reading

There is no doubt about it—when you suffer from certain health conditions you want to get rid of them as soon as possible. The reality is that when you have stretch marks, you can't possibly get rid of them fast enough.
They may have taken awhile to develop, say through an entire pregnancy for example, but you want to get rid of them quickly and effectively.
Though many people turn to the many products out there, it may be much easier than that in the end.
There is for some reason a negative association between home remedies and their overall effectiveness. Unless you go into this process or treatment method with an open mind, then you are not going to get much out of it.
What if you found out that using some of the things that you have lying around your house may help you? What if you could get rid of stretch marks or at least treat them using some of the very things you have in your kitchen?
Home remedies really can work, and it's time to put them to the test in the case of treating and therefore minimizing stretch marks once and for all.
This May Be a Great Time To Try Natural Treatment Methods To See How They Work
Sure you can very well try out any number of products out there, and some may actually help.
There are some good things to enjoy out of natural treatments however, and if you feel unsure then you may want to use the two together in harmony.
Try a product that you can get over the counter, but then be sure to try a natural method for treatment as well.
You just might find that something as natural as lemon juice for example may work more effectively than other treatment methods out there.
It may not work for everyone, but the good news is that there are so many natural methods to try that you just might find a match. You may find that you are much more equipped to handle health problems in a natural way than you ever thought possible.
Not every single home remedy may work for everyone, but then you try another one.
It may take some trial and error, but eventually you will find a good match and be sold on holistic methods moving forward—and these can be an excellent way of taking care of yourself without offering any harmful side effects.
These Are Right In Your Home But May Be More Effective Than You Know
Though you may not think that there is much merit in something like sugar, you just might be surprised when you see it at work.
Try these for yourself, try a couple of different ones, and figure out which is the most effective for you.
It's always amazing at how effectively these methods may work, and until you have tried for yourself you just can't tell how much you can learn to embrace these methods moving forward. Here's a few well worth trying out!
Sugar has some really wonderful healing powers when it comes to skin conditions. In this instance turning it into a paste and then using it over the area affected with the stretch marks may work wonders.
Just mix some sugar with a touch of water and then rub it right onto the affected area. This paste should stay on for awhile before you rinse it off. Try this consistently for a couple of weeks and see how much lighter the stretch marks may be—imagine that over the course of a couple of weeks and how well this may work!
It may sound odd, but just try it and see for yourself. There are so many nutrients within potatoes and now you are going to apply those directly to the affected skin.
You want to slice the potato and then use it raw whereby you rub it right onto the surface of the stretch marks. This natural approach can help to minimize the stretch marks and really help them to be a thing of the past. Try it for a week before bed and check your progress each morning.
Aloe Vera
We already know that aloe vera can help with something like a sunburn, so it makes sense that it may work for something like stretch marks too. There is a great application with aloe vera and it works best when you use the plant itself.
Try it and see how well it can work to heal the skin and therefore get rid of the stretch marks. This is one natural remedy that gets raving results, so you may want to try it out first or use it in conjunction with another method for best results.
Coconut or Olive Oil
Either of these natural oils can work wonders on skin conditions or so many different health problems. You want to be consistent about using this on the affected skin every single day.
Rub it on as you would a cream that you would buy over the counter, but the natural blend may work much better. It can help to restore vitality to the skin and ensure that you don't have to suffer with the stretch marks anymore. Try it and see for yourself how these oils can be a lifesaver in coping with stretch marks.
Lemon Juice
You know that lemon juice can lighten your hair, so why not something on your skin? In this case you want to use freshly squeeze lemon juice onto the stretch marks and over the course of time it may work.
It can work fast, though some people find that to get a really measurable result it may take a couple of weeks or a month. Rub it right onto the stretch marks and though it may not get rid of them altogether, it may very well lighten them up so that they don't cause problems down the road.
Stretch marks certainly aren't fun, but if you know how to deal with them you will get a lot further. You may find that using these natural methods can help you faster and more efficiently than anything else. These are some of the best treatment methods out there, and they are all easy enough to use in the comfort of your own home.

A single slow (but not dead) map TaskTracker impedes MapReduce progress ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HADOOP-5985 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5985 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Aaron Kimball We see cases where there may be a large number of mapper nodes running many tasks (e.g., a thousand). The reducers will pull 980 of the map task intermediate files down, but will be unable to retrieve the final intermediate shards from the last node. The TaskTracker on that node returns data to reducers either slowly or not at all, but its heartbeat messages make it back to the JobTracker -- so the JobTracker doesn't mark the tasks as failed. Manually stopping the offending TaskTracker works to migrate the tasks to other nodes, where the shuffling process finishes very quickly. Left on its own, it can take hours to unjam itself otherwise. We need a mechanism for reducers to provide feedback to the JobTracker that one of the mapper nodes should be regarded as lost. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

New Researcher Brings $1.8 Million in Funding to Study How Cold Temperatures Affect Pain
Angela Koenig
Published February 2010
It makes perfect sense that a researcher would come to the University of Cincinnati from the University of Florida to study how cold temperatures affect pain, but research is conducted in a laboratory and that laboratory can be located anywhere.
The department of anesthesiology's newest faculty member, Jianguo Gu, PhD, however, chose UC's College of Medicine.
"I'd like to see us become one of the top pain research programs in the country—and that is possible," says Gu, who brings with him $1.8 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Gu, whose focus is neuroscience and pain research, graduated from Shanghai First Medical College
in 1985. He spent four years at China Pharmaceutical University studying clinical pharmacology and conducted his graduate studies at the University of Manitoba in Canada, where he received his PhD in 1994.
He then studied the neuronal and molecular mechanisms of pain as a research associate at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University.
In 1998, he took a faculty position at the University of Florida, where he spent 11 years studying pain at the cellular, sub-cellular and molecular level.
Specifically, his NIH research is focused on temperature-sensitive pain pertaining to cold, which can accompany conditions such as fibromyalgia. When you experience this type of pain, he says, "a blow of cooling wind in the spring can be like a knife cutting your face."
His work, he says, involves understanding the basic foundations of pain.
"When we are very clear about the target we can design a specific drug to help alleviate pain," he says.
"We've made real progress to help people, but in my lifetime I'd like to know that I've helped to alleviate pain with the advanced research we will conduct here."
Also to his credit, Gu is the founder and editor-in-chief of Molecular Pain (molecularpain. com), an international scientific journal. He was born in Nanjing, the capital city of Jiangsu Province in China.

I heard a rumour the other day that Blankety Blank, the panel show from my childhood that sticks in my mind most of all, is coming back with Miranda as the proposed host (there's a link to last night's gig for you). The idea behind it for those who don't remember or are too young to have watched it, is that contestants have to fill in a blank in a given sentence, trying to predict the answer given by others. To help them they could call upon a few members of the celebrity panel to offer their answers. Hosted by Terry Wogan with the strangest looking microphone and his Blankety Blank chequebook and pen, this was the show that won the quiz show ratings of its day.
Here's a phrase for you to try out, what is the blank in 'I *blank* therefore I am'?
I'm guessing many of you might have offered up 'think' as famously stated by Rene Decartes, the French philosopher who argued that being able to think about one's existence proved it – bonus marks for those who showed off and did it in Latin, 'dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum' ('I doubt therefore I think therefore I am').
Of course other words could be inserted into this phrase, some humourous, others silly or perhaps serious such as 'I eat therefore I am' or 'I laugh therefore I am' or even 'I run therefore I am'. All of these say something about the world we live in at the moment, how we relate to it, and our values. Perhaps something like 'I like therefore I am' could capture this well, expressing the self-centred values of our age and picking up on the all-encompassing nature of social media these days with it's like buttons to show that we enjoyed something which often, dare I say it, has very little depth to it. Reading an article on the BBC website today I wondered if their writer would fill the blank with 'consume'. This would certainly ring true I think, in so many ways we value things by what they have to offer me or give to me rather than of what good are they for society or for the planet or for what moral value they hold?
I wonder what the Bible and its characters might offer to us. Thomas would be nearer Decartes with 'I doubt therefore I am'. Peter would offer 'I do it and think later therefore I am', Martha, 'I wash up therefore I am' and Mary, 'I listen therefore I am'. But what about Jesus? What would he say? In the true spirit of Blankety Blank I leave it to you to suggest an answer!

With Britain preparing for what might be the 'hottest day ever' this week, we'll all need a little advice on how to keep cool.
By the looks of this video, we could all learn a thing or two from Bruiser the bear , who survives the Florida heat by taking a dip in his favourite swimming pool - and he looks like he really loves it.
In the hilarious clip, playful Syrian Brown Bear, Bruiser - who weighs 400lbs at just 18-months-old - climbs the ladder to his pool before bombing into it to cool off.
He clambers out haphazardly and shakes to dry his fur - but quickly decides he wants another go and scampers back up the ladder, creating another huge splash as he jumps in.
Bruiser lives at the Single Vision Inc wildlife sanctuary in Melrose, Florida.
Founder Carl posted the video of the playful bear to the organisation's Facebook page , along with the caption "He's the Bruiser Bear! There is only one! Makes me laugh everyday. Love this bear :))"
Follow the organisation on Facebook for more updates on Bruiser's antics. If you would like to donate to the sanctuary, visit the official page .

It would be darn near impossible to find a hockey fan in Slovenia who isn't rooting for the Kings.
Call it the Anze Kopitar factor.
"There is actually a pretty big buzz back there," said Kopitar, the Kings' 24-year-old center. "I've been going on online and reading some of the news from back there. The Kings are pretty big."
And Kopitar?
"There's a little more focus on me," Kopitar said. "It's nice for hockey to get a little attention back home."
With the Kings set to play the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup Final, expect more local-boy-makes-good stories in the country of 2 million people.
Of course, when the NHL does get attention in Slovenia, it's usually focused on Kopitar. He was the first player from the country to reach the NHL. Only one other, Detroit Red Wings forward Jan Mursak, has followed in his skate prints.

THE SHUTTERING of Yale's Skull and Bones Society by alumni aghast at the very notion of admitting persons of the female persuasion reminds us of an issue that has yet to make its way to the forefront of United States-Mexico relations, this despite the fact that George Bush is a Bonesman.
Or to be more precise, the president is a reputed Bonesman, since to admit membership would be a gross violation of one of the society's many codes.
But we digress.
Back to relations with Mexico. It seems that many years ago the skull of Pancho Villa, the fiery Mexican revolutionary general, was stolen from its tomb by suspected Yanqui pranksters. Where this noble cranium ended up is a matter of mystery to this day.

Nothing says chill like a 37-year-old pro-surfer dad strumming fireside beach jams, so the audience at Donavon Frankenreiter's concert at the Knitting Factory can expect a show so chill it's like soft serve ice cream.
Frankenreiter's new album, Glow, channels Jack Johnson's signature acoustic guitar and upbeat lyrics combo and create slow-day sound tracks.
If you've never seen Frankenreiter live, he looks like The Big Lebowski with a surfboard in place of a bowling ball and a microphone instead of a white Russian. If you're staying in town for spring break, catching this show and sipping any drink with an umbrella in it is a cheap alternative to visiting Laguna Beach.[ Video is no longer available. ]
