The Foreclosure report includes the most recent foreclosure transaction details if a property is in any stage of foreclosure, along with the default mortgage information and foreclosure history.
The state of foreclosure (pre-foreclosure, auction, or REO) is indicated in the black address bar at the top of the report (the property below is color-coded with yellow indicating the property is in auction.
Note: The Default Mortgage Information section may change by state, while all other sections of the report contain the same data. The names of the fields may vary, however, due to whether or not the state is judicial or non-judicial when it comes to property foreclosures. For example, a judicial state would call borrowers in default "defendants" while a nonjudicial state would call them "borrowers."

The BE GREAT Foundation carries the torch of the memory and legacy of Alexander James Plotas who died at the age of 13 months on September 21, 2011, due to respiratory complications after a SUCCESSFUL Allogeneic Cord Blood Transplant (commonly known as a Bone Marrow Transplant "BMT"). BE GREAT was established November 2011, by Alison and Pete Plotas, 7 weeks after their son Alexander died. Alexander inspired many (young and old) during his life and journey with immune deficiency. His lesson to all of us, of making the most of the situation and refusing to give up, is what fuels us.
Alexander's transplant was astonishingly successful, with engraftment achieved on day +12. Although both Alexander's cord blood and his older sister's cord blood were privately stored at birth, neither could be used in his transplant. Thankfully through BE THE MATCH and the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), several matches were identified and Alexander's doctors at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC were able to go through the exercise of narrowing down the short list to the donor cord that would best be used for his transplant. And amazingly their research, experience and care of Alexander paid off in the success of his transplant. It is this success that gives us energy to move ahead knowing that other families will be able to overcome immune deficiency diagnosis and give their child hope for a future. The risks of Alexander's BMT were fully understood by his parents who knew that without the BMT, Alexander's life expectancy would've been very short due to his inability to fight infections. This was the only hope to give him a future.
Alexander's determination and energy moved us to launch the BE GREAT Foundation to help kids, parents, advocates and physicians achieve their goals in the fight to treat immune deficiency and achieve the best outcomes possible. Immune deficiency is beatable. There are management protocols and curative treatments, which give kids healthy lives. BE GREAT Foundation works toward helping make this happen for as many as possible. From newborn screening, advancing medical equipment and curative treatments to improving parental support; BE GREAT focuses on kids fighting and overcoming immune deficiency. Since inception in 2011, many generous contributions and support from individual donors, sponsors and partners, enable us to work tirelessly so every child has a chance to be healthy and to Be Great!
Died on September 21st 2011 at 13 months of age due to respiratory complications from a severe form of immune deficiency, after a successful Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT). Alexander was a smiley, magnetic and determined little boy with enchanting blue eyes who received his BMT at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. under the care of a devoted and talented medical team. While waiting for his new immune system to activate, pneumonia set in. After 2 weeks in the ICU, the complications were too severe for Alexander to overcome. Prior to that, Alexander's journey included 160 days in the hospital and multiple infection-related obstacles he overcame which would have been catastrophic to any adult.
While Alexander didn't have words yet, he said a lot to his parents, his loving big sister and his medical care giving family. Here are the things we heard from him along the way that we carry forward with us in the work of BE GREAT to help all the other Alexanders out there.
Smile a lot. Be happy. Don't complain.Take it as it comes.
It's a beautiful day every day. Press forward and stay calm.
Remain hopeful and trust that things will work out.
Look into my eyes and see that I am NOT afraid.
Take courage from me and be strong.
Things may get darker before the light shines through.
Enjoy each day without expectation.
Smile a lot. Be happy.

The Space-Ring System
Powertherm Contract Services are proud to release the design of the Space Ring System, a revolutionary new product tackling the ever-growing problem of corrosion under insulation. The patented design reduces damage to the outer surface of insulation whilst providing airflow and drainage from within to keep the pipe dry and safe from the threat of CUI.
Current methods of strengthening the insulation exterior to prevent CUI can be effective against damage. However, when enough force is applied they do still buckle and the system begins to work against itself, trapping water inside and encouraging corrosion. The Space Ring System tackles each of these problems in turn.
Firstly, the system uses support rings to transfer the weight load onto the pipe itself, which is considerably stronger than cladding. This reduces the effect of impact to the pipe, rendering it much stronger and preventing seams from buckling.
In addition, an air space is introduced, through which low-level drainage points and free-flowing air help to keep the pipe and surrounding insulation dry.
The system requires very little additional training and time to install compared to other insulation methods, and the increased costs are negligible in comparison to the lengthy and expensive processes of inspecting, repairing and replacing corroded pipes.

"I just wanted to say how much I appreciated Phyllis Kieth yesterday. She help me with a compression bra and a compression camisole. She spent so much time with me and was so helpful I've never had anyone to be as helpful as she was for me to return and exchange the order. I have ordered a lot of things from different people and no one has ever been as nice and knowledgeable as she was. I am so appreciative of her and thank her so much for helping me. Thank you."

"Thank you so much for your help and kindness! We are forever sending women to Wear Ease by the way, because we know they'll be treated kindly and well."
- Bonnie
"Hello Wear Ease,
I received the camisoles yesterday. When I put on the black slimmer it was late afternooon and I was concerned because it felt very very tight and cut uncomfortably into the swelling below my axilla.
Shoot I thought. Now what do I do. This am the swelling is down throughout my torso and axilla after sleeping and I immediately put it on. It's an hour later and It's amazing. No pain. No discomfort.
(I'll turn it inside out next and try my small imicro-bead forms which I have not worn at all yet.)
Boobs again....wow.
There is no question the Slimmer is going to be the answer for me.
I will be sized for black lymphedema sleeves after radiation to wear with The Slimmer and I can picture myself this summer riding my bike and walking the shore and doing yoga and well ...............................having a life again.
The slimmer is a miracle for many women as testified on the sites but especially for me and others like me with a bilateral mastectomy and and no reconstruction and node removal on both sides.
Thanks Wear Ease,"

Learn something new
04 Feb 2016
Ever wanted to learn to belly dance? Perhaps yoga is more your thing? Or are you interested in the science behind cycling?
If any of those topics sparked your interest you might be interested in Laneway Learning's pop-up series at Hortus on Harbour Esplanade.
Beginning in January and continuing through February, Laneway Learning is offering two different classes each Wednesday night.
Topics covered so far at the Docklands pop-up include Italian language and culture, hula hoop dancing and traditional yoga, among others.
Laneway Learning started in Melbourne four years ago and offers a range of classes at a variety of venues each week.
According to Laneway Learning co-founder Mark Gregory, the idea behind the initiative is to make education accessible to people in terms of both cost and time commitment.
According to Mr Gregory, many opportunities for learning require long-term commitments and can be quite expensive. Laneway Learning differs in that it provides a low-cost learning opportunity with no commitment.
Most classes cost around $14 and run for about an hour and 15 minutes. Topics range from craft, food and physical activity through to science, humanities and general life skills. Classes are limited to around 25 people, allowing plenty of interaction and discussion.
"Laneway Learning is the first stepping stone to learning something new," Mr Gregory said.
"If you're really inspired and something sparks then you can go on to sign-up for a ten week course elsewhere," Mr Gregory said.
Laneway Learning also focuses on working with the local community, with the teachers primarily being local small business owners, academics or amateur enthusiasts.
The classes are also quite social according to Mr Gregory, with the aim being to get everyone involved and learning together.
"We're trying to make learning an accessible, interactive, social opportunity to meet other people interested in the same topic," he said.
Upcoming Laneway Learning classes at Hortus include:
First steps towards a zero waste household: Wednesday, February 17 6.15pm – 7.30pm
Science of cycling: Like riding a bike: Wednesday, February 17 8pm – 9.15pm

.understood that he referred to his recent voyage. And then, in the remains of his anxiety and restlessness, he fell to work on the supper, and ate all the poached eggs with the mutton chops, to the infinite dismay of his loving spouse, who, at the moment they were devoured, came in with the soup, which the poached eggs were designed to have been put into.
Soup being, in Sweden, introduced in the middle of a meal, the Captain would have been obliged to have eaten it without poached eggs, but fortunately for him the two which, together with a vast amount of mutton chops, had been put on my plate, were still untouched; and I believe never was a captain or captain's wife much more surprised at foreign peculiarities than were these, when, affirming that I could not eat eggs and soup together, I expressed a wish to get rid of mine. With an expression of mingled pity for me and congratulation to himself, he delicately blended them up in his plate of soup, and made himself as happy as a captain need be after the trials and dangers of the sea.
So after supper I went to bed and slept, first truly and gratefully repeating the Captain's expressive "Thank God it is over!" How often on bended knees do we utter the thanksgiving— "for all the blessings of this life !"—how often do we murmur at the want of the least? how seldom do we attempt to enumerate their disproportion to our deserts; to watch their daily renewal, fresh to us every morning, new to us every moment! He redeemeth thy life from destruction; and asks but thy love for all He gives. And the next day I found every one out of Gottenburg whom I wished to see, and every berth, or hut, secured in the boat I wanted to go by to Stockholm. This was not agreeable, for a day at the Captain's was enough. I resolved, therefore, to go by the well-laden boat, hoping some one would drop off en route, and leave a vacant spot for me.
At two o'clock, a.m., a couple of the Captain's men conveyed my luggage, the Captain himself held my hand, and we groped our way in thick darkness to the deck of the little steamer. There was not even a light burning on board, though it was to depart in two hours.
"Where am I to go?"
"Here," the Captain answered, opening a door. I plunged in in the dark, and went over a whole crowd of prostrate bodies. The cabins, or berths, on board these boats are really nice little dormitories, and are ranged along each side of the passage into which I now stumbled. Here the men, women, and children, who were unable to get a berth elsewhere, were snatching a rather uneasy repose. They started into life as I tumbled over them; but the worst part of the matter was, that I fell right over two savagely-disposed Flikas, or waiting-maids, who growled at me, not only then, but for the whole four days and three nights that our unhappy propinquity• lasted.
Every one, indeed, thought I had no business there; but where could I go? The deck is dirty, wet, cold ******
Well, there is a whole line of asterisks; for I always find them the next best resource to hysterics, in helping one out of explanations.
Now the sun is coming out; but you know what sunshine is to a miserable, awake-all-night traveller. Ah, if 1 could only get a good breakfast; there might then be a chance of my getting a good humour also. Spend as uncomfortable a night as you may on board French boats, and a French breakfast will put you into a pleasant temper, if any earthly thing can. But a cup of cafe au lait is unknown here, although you are served with a little cup of the coffee and thick cold cream, which is drank before breakfast and after dinner by most Swedes.
Even an English breakfast would be comforting now; but a Swedish one !—and on board these little boats!
In the first place, it is served in a sort of hold, to which ingress and egress are very difiicult. Then you get all sorts of fish, fried, boiled, and raw, a quantity of strangely-cooked hard meat, vegetables, cheese, and various compounds; with ale, porter, and spirits for male drinkers, but nothing at all that gentler lips can be supposed capable of imbibing. There are some slices of white, soft bread, cut in a basket, and a quantity of the hard dry cake called knaeken, which name a learned Swede tells me comes from the verb to crack. I found the derivation enough for me, and have not tried to make my teeth do that which the power of my hands could not effect.
This hard stuff, however, is so much relished by natives, that a piece of it is always laid beside them at dinner; and, I am told, I could meet it at the Swedish minister's in London, if I am ever happy enough to be there.
The Flikas would growl if I were to ask for a cup of tea; the obliging "Mamsell" who keeps the restauration departments would be utterly astonished; and every one of the good people here would, in their hearts, accuse me of a want of sobriety.
On this particular trip, however, we must all take what we can get and be thankful. The boat is in an awful state of over-population. What is to be done with the half of us would puzzle a bet

As much as Sri Lanka is diverse in its wildlife, nature, and beaches, it is also a culturally rich country. Timeless tales and fascinating fables surround the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. The multicultural legacy has come down through generations and thus the country has a lot to offer to those who are keen to learn about history, culture, and religion.
The beauty of Sri Lanka is that it hosts many colourful UNESCO World Heritage sites. Since Buddhism encompasses a huge part of the culture and history of Sri Lanka, there are numerous Buddhist temples which you will find throughout the country. Every temple in Sri Lanka is an epitome of serenity and spirituality.
Artistic details, beautiful carvings, and ancient architecture are something every enchanting temple has to offer.
One noteworthy temple in Sri Lanka is the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy. The temple is home to the sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha.
The Story of the Sacred Tooth
Constructed in the 16th century AD, the Temple of the Tooth is also known as the Sri Dalada Maligawa. The temple is situated adjacent to the Royal Palace complex of the former kingdom of Kandy. The shrine overlooks the vast expanse of Kandy Lake.
The temple proudly boasts as the humble abode of Buddha's tooth. As the story goes, the sacred tooth is said to have been taken from his funeral pyre in Kushinagar in India, and later smuggled into Sri Lanka.
In ancient times, the tooth was given to the Sri Lankan Monarchy. During this period, the tooth was passed around to various kings and holy men. Before it finally made it to the temple, the tooth is said to have been relocated several times across the centuries, where it eventually landed up in Kandy. To safeguard Buddha's tooth, the temple was built in the royal palace complex. Today, both Kandy, as well as the temple, is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Don't know What to Eat in Sri Lanka? Read this Blog
The entire temple complex is built using classical Kandyan architecture. The main shrine has two floors. There are different chambers on every floor including the one where the tooth relic is kept known as 'handun kunama'.
The tooth is housed in a dedicated temple held in a golden stupa inside the two-story shrine fronted by two large elephant tusks. The relic rests on a solid gold lotus flower, encased in jeweled caskets that sit on the throne.
Although parts of the shrine were destroyed and rebuilt in various bombings and acts of war, the building is still a perfect depiction of opulence, grandeur, and magnificence. The interior, as well as the exterior, depicts the rich Buddhist heritage as it boasts of golden architecture and moonstones. It is adorned with beautiful Buddhist statues, figurines, lanterns, flowers and coloured walls.
The entire architecture in the temple is based on Buddhist Mandala, signifying the universe of Buddhism.
In addition to the main shrine, there are other attractions as well such as the Royal Palace that now serves as an archaeological museum for tourists.
Though tourists are actually allowed to visit the temple, they don't actually get to see the tooth. That's mainly because the sacred tooth relic is kept in the smallest of the seven nested golden caskets, which are further kept in the inner shrine of the temple.
However, tourists and visitors should not refrain from visiting the temple. The main temple is definitely a place worth admiring for its beauty and cultural heritage. The temple complex includes a series of smaller temples, shrines, and museums.
Main Attraction of the Temple
The sacred tooth relic is placed on a stupa weighing 3,500 kg and is made from 320 kg of pure gold of which most have been donated by devotees. It is placed in a hall called 'Sacred Hall of Light' on the fourth floor. Though visitors are not allowed to enter the inner chamber, they can view the stupa from the public viewing area.
Entrance Fee & Facilities
Not all temples in Sri Lanka levy an entrance fee. However, temples that are popular tourist spots do charge an entrance fee. Locals can visit free of cost while tourists are charged $10.
If you've done your research beforehand, you can opt for a self-guided tour and take yourself through the entrance, lower hall, upper hall, palace, and museum.
If you're keen to learn more about the history and cultural background, you can hire a freelance guide for two hours. You'll find many of them at the entrance of the temple. Free audio guides are also available at the ticket office. Getting a guided tour around the entire temple complex costs $3.5 for a group.
- For travelers with disabilities, elevator facilities are available.
- For tourists interested in learning more on Buddhist teachings, there is an interactive workshop called 'Discovering Buddhism'.
- On the second floor of the temple complex, there is a small tea house that serves beverages and vegetarian cuisine. There is a culture shop on the same floor too.
During festivals and events, the temple does get crowded with worshipers, tourists, devotees, Chinese tour groups and Thai monks.
Therefore, when visiting the Temple of the Tooth, go around the afternoon.

- The official temple timings to visit the Buddha Tooth Relic, Buddha Culture Museum and the Relic Chamber are from 9 am to 6 pm.
- The Eminent Sangha Museum can be visited from 7.00 am to 7.00 pm, seven days a week.
In the inner chamber of the temple, monks perform rituals three times a day – during dawn, noon and in the evening. Once a week, on Wednesdays, the casket where the tooth is kept receives symbolic bathing in healing water.
Code of Conduct & Ethics
Most of the historical places and temples in Sri Lanka are popular tourist attractions. Thus, if you do plan to visit any of the temples, you need to treat them with great respect.
Whether you're visiting a religious site or place of worship, it is mandatory to abide by the following code of conduct. Failure to do so can put you in trouble. Every historical site has a cop monitoring badly behaved visitors and tourists.
- Dress code: What you wear is the most important criteria. Since Sri Lanka is a tropical and humid country, quite often tourists are spotted wearing hats and skimpy clothing. However, if you plan to visit a temple, refrain from doing so. Buddhist temples are very particular about the dress code. Most locals visiting these temples are clad in white as it denotes a symbol of purity. However, it's alright if tourists don't abide by the color code. Skimpy clothing, shorts, mini-skirts, see-through clothing, and sleeveless dresses are not allowed inside the temple. For women, make sure your shoulders and cleavage are covered. For both men and women, it is mandatory that the legs have to be covered. Take off your hat and shoes before entering the temple. It's best not to wear black or any other dark-colored clothing.
- Taking photographs: In most Buddhist religious places, tourists are allowed to take photographs. It is also free of charge. However, tourists should never take pictures with their back towards the Buddha statue. While taking pictures, make sure the flashlight is turned off. Commercial filming and photography need permission from the state authorities.
- Maintain silence: In every Buddhist temple, it is essential to maintain silence. Devotees and monks are usually engaged in meditation and chanting of religious verses. Therefore, stay calm and enjoy the serenity and blissful experience.

- Don't touch paintings and statues: Buddhist paintings are beautiful and thus they may urge one to touch them. However, refrain from doing so. Touching them can lead to discoloration. Also, since most of the paintings are ancient and fragile, they tend to crumble with touch.
- No smoking and drinking: You are not allowed to smoke in Buddhist temples. Whether you see a smoking sign or not, it is prohibited. Smoking can lead to an expensive fine or jail term. Also, never consume alcohol and enter a temple, or carry bottles of wine or liquor.
- Don't shake hands with monks: Devotees are required to treat the monks with respect and maintain a graceful distance. Don't greet them by shaking hands or saying 'hello'. In case, you do plan to greet them, fold your hands together in front of your chest and say 'sadu' while keeping your body on your knees.
- Buddha tattoos are not accepted: Having a Buddha tattoo is considered as a mistreatment of the Buddha image. Most locals consider it as an act of offending Buddhist sensibilities. If you do have a Buddha tattoo on your arm or back, make sure it is covered with an appropriate piece of clothing.
- Don't smell flowers: As an offering to the deity, tourists often bring flowers with them. It may be tempting to smell them, but as a rule, you are not allowed to smell the offerings. If a devotee or monk sees you doing so, they will not accept your offerings.
If you want to enjoy the calm and serenity of a Buddhist temple, follow the above code of conduct and ethics.
The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is a prime monument that the Sinhalese Buddhists have utmost faith in. A visit to the temple is an absolute must when you are in Kandy. Though the tooth stays hidden in the golden casket, you get to witness the sheer beauty and magnificence of the well-protected inner shrine where it is kept.
Annually, during the Esala Perahera procession in the month of July, the relic casket is paraded through the streets atop a male elephant. The 10-day long festival is one of the largest Buddhist festivals in the world and most important in Sri Lanka.
If you are planning a trip to Kandy, the best time would be during the festivities or when the ceremonial offerings and prayers are given.

Don't let the super bright color of this dip scare you away! If you love beets you will love this dip, and if you don't love beets you should give them another try because they are delicious! I didn't start eating them myself until a few years ago when I figured I should start eating more healthy vegetables. And, honestly, I kind of chocked them down at the time.
Then, something compelled me to try them again more recently and this time I made them into beet chips and I am now convinced that I can be tricked into eating anything that is in chip form! Seriously, if you put something crunchy and salty in front of me, I will devour it and probably ask you for more.
Since my love affair with beet chips began, I 've been branching out and trying beets in lots of different ways, including these crazy magenta burgers I made a while ago! One of the things that I love most about beets, besides the delicious, sweet and earthy taste, is the awesome vibrant color. I mean, look at these beets! Mother nature must have been having fun when she picked that color!
This is a food blog, so I won't go into a few other aspects of the color, if know what I"m getting at, but you can learn a little bit more about that here. Does anyone else out there watch the show Portlandia?! If so, you know what I'm talking about and how they just seem to make everything hilarious. If you are not familiar with it, you should totally check it out because it is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time!
Is it me or does this week seem to be creeping by at a particularly slow pace?! I hope everyone is having a great week and has a fun weekend planned! I've said before that I'm not the biggest fan of football, but I'm really looking forward to going to an actual game this weekend!

Deshpande Kaka (who is more of Kaka (Uncle) to me than my C.A) insisted that we must go to Bhuleshwar & Kanfinath. I searched for route to Bhuleshwar on the net and started early morning.
To reach Bhuleshwar –
- Take Pune – Solapur Highway and drive approx. 30-35 Kms.
- 2 Kms. before Yavat village, take right turn along eastern bank of canal.
- You will see sign board "Bhuleshwar".
- Drive approx. 8-10 Kms to reach Bhuleshwar Temple. As you begin, you will start getting view of Bhuleshwar temple located top on mountain. The road is in OK condition.
- Caution: On this way, there is a ghat stretch on around 3-4 Kms. and the road is steep so make sure that vehicle brake is in good condition. There is a very steep turn while climbing as you approach near the temple.
We started on Solapur Highway and took right turn 2 Kms before village 'Yavat' and the fun began… We got a warm welcome from Parakeet family. These Parakeets had bluish tails. Then came Green bee-eaters, Drongos, Brahminy Mynas and Red-wattled lapwings.
Each time we saw new bird, we waited there and clicked it. There was a villager who was following us on his bike. He was surprised on what we were clicking. We didn't notice that he was following us. After a while, we gathered the daring and asked us "Whether we would be interested to see Gerbera plantation?" and we immediately nodded our heads in assertion.
He took us to a nearby place. He had quick talk with the owner and we got permission inside the green house, which sheltered 4 hectares of Gerbera plantation. It was just unbelievable! There was endless panorama of colorful Gerbera flowers. It reminded us of tulips in "Dekha ek khwaab…." from Silsila movie. We captured these beautiful floras through our lenses. He also gave us info that 1 hectare of Gerbera worth at least one lakh rupees. It meant such cultivations are costly affairs. All these flowers are sold in Pune flower market for 1-2 rupees each. We were very thankful to that biker who showed us this elegant treasure.
All these birds and Gerberas already made our day! Actual destination was additional bonus. 🙂
We climbed ghats to reach Bhuleshwar Temple on the mountaintop. The temple hilltop is huge and there is lot of parking space available for vehicles too. Bhuleshwar temple is built in 13th century and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It was previously a fort called "Mangalgadh". The devastated evidences show that this temple must have been ruined by Muslim invaders and reconstructed again. The entrance of temple is very interesting. It is called "Gaimukhi construction" which dates back to Shivaji Maharaj's era. The walls of temple are decked with beautiful carvings right from entrance.
There is mythological story that after Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati had fight and angry Shiva came here to meditate. Devi Parvati, dressed as "Bhilla" woman danced to fascinate Shiva. Her beauty seduced him. They went to Kailas from here and got re-united. The place got its name from this story. "To sedate" means "bhul" in Marathi. As Shiva was seduced by Paravati, hence he is also called "Bhuleshwar".
We bought Pooja thali (contained coconut, flowers, few issence thicks and a bowl with 5 pedhas) and went inside. It is believed that the god himself eats the Prasad which devotee offers him. We did not know about this. Pujari told us about this. He kept the bowl of pedhas inside the shiv-linga and asked us to wait. After 10 mins, he took the bowl out. To our astonishment, it had only 2 pedhas in it. We tried to find out where did the rest pedhas disappeared, with the help of torch inside the shiv-linga. There were 3 stones whom they call "Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh" and no rat, no snake, no cockroach inside. It was no black magic and nor did Pujari play any trick. Sometimes, there are things beyond your logic and science and you ought to believe them. We had that Prasad and explored the temple.
There was huge Nandi inside the temple along with Ganapati idol in woman form. It is believed to be only such idol of Ganesh. Also there is huge spectacular bell outside the temple. We climbed upstairs and the view was beautiful. We found many Babblers, Mynahs, Ravens and Laughing Doves.
We spent some time there and had few quick bites which we carried with us. We started our back journey and decided to take opposite route while returning. This is Bhuleshwar-Saswad road. We reached Saswad and had some food there. Our next destination was Kanifnath temple. We took up road to Kanifnath which went through small villages. It was lush all over and could get some uncommon birds like Indian Silver Bills, Ashy-crowned Sparrow Lark, Bushchat. Sweet melodious song of American Robin thrush caught our attention. It compelled us to wait there for while and admire these nature's best creations. We were able to capture some picturesque landmarks in our camera.
To Reach Kanifnath:
- Take road Pune – Hadapsar – Saswad.
- In village Saswad, there is junction. From here, take road to Kanifnath.
- Drive approx for 10-15 Kms to reach Kanifnath.
We climbed up Kanifnath and cool flowing breeze soothed our senses. Just cannot find words to explain how divine the atmosphere at the top was. We parked our car and reached Kanifnath temple. This beautiful architectural splendor is one of the Navnath temples. There is small cave opening inside the temple and women are not allowed to enter in that cave. Only men are eligible. Women can however sit in temple. We took up Prasad and started descending. We had to drive back to Saswad. We took up Saswad – Hadapsar – Pune road to reach Pune.
We came back home in the evening and tried to recollect the day we spent. All the wonderful memories of the day flashed in our minds – beautiful Indian Silver Bills, Uncommon Ashy-crowned Sparrow Lark, amazing Gerberas, sweet melody of American Robin thrush, unbelievable carvings at Bhuleshwar, accepted Prasad by God which we offered, green landscapes on way to Kanifnath and cold breeze on Kanifnath top!!!

Cheap business class flights often sound like a contradiction in terms. Business class requires a higher ticket price to cover the many extras and perks it brings with it.
However, we might find it is easier to locate affordable tickets for business class than we think. It depends on how we go about it and how many tricks we can use to find what we are looking for.
Compare Prices for
Different Airlines This is far easier to do if we book online. Rather than visiting many different websites, we can look through current and future prices on one site. This saves us time and gives us access to lots more options. It is a lot easier to find cheap business class flights this way.
Join Frequent Flyer Programmes
We can sign up for several of these with different airlines. Building up miles or points can help us upgrade to cheap business class flights over time. It is a good way to enjoy a more relaxing and luxurious flight.
We Should Look Well Ahead of Our Trip Whenever Possible
The earlier we start looking for affordable flights in business class, the more options we will be able to sort through. While there are cheap offers available at the last minute, it is a risky tactic for us to go down this route. If all flights to our chosen destination are booked, we may end up travelling in economy class instead.
If we use the tips mentioned here, we stand a far better chance of finding affordable tickets to upgrade to business class. On a long-haul journey, the experience is far nicer and more relaxing than we could ever hope for. It brings new meaning to travelling in style and reaching our destination feeling fresh and content.
My dates are flexible +/- 3 days

Hard Rock Hotel Penang
Since opening in 1971, Hard Rock International has been committed to two consistent brand pillars- music and philanthropy. In 2016, Hard Rock International is combining these two passions with the launch of the Hard Rock Heals Foundation, a global charity that aims to improve lives through the power of music. Hard Rock's guiding principle, "Love All – Serve All," encompasses the brand's dedication to its core mantras – "Save the Planet," "Take Time to Be Kind" and "All is One."
In the past, a wide range of charities has benefited from Hard Rock donations – in the form of dollars, food and beverage, merchandise and man hours – including WhyHunger, Breast Cancer Research Foundation and more.
The Hard Rock Heals Foundation
The Hard Rock Heals Foundation was founded in 2016 in order to unite all philanthropic efforts, including global initiatives and local events, under one charity platform to benefit one common goal: making the world a better place through music. By the close of 2021, Hard Rock Heals Foundation's goal is to fundraise a minimum of $10 million for organizations immersed in music philanthropy.
The foundation's motto, Love.Amplifed., seeks to inspire us all to turn up the volume and deliver the message that lives can be improved by the power of music. The Hard Rock Heals Foundation provides grants and assistance to music-centric, health and wellness programs worldwide, including the foundation's inaugural partners MyMusicRx, Musicians on Call, Stax Academy, Street Symphony, Bombay Teen Challenge and Nordoff Robbins. All funds raised through Hard Rock's various philanthropic efforts at cafes, hotels, casinos and other venues will be used to support global and local efforts that tie closely to Hard Rock's greatest brand differentiator – music.
The Hard Rock Heals Foundation inaugural initiatives will include an exclusive merchandise collection, philanthropy- driven Hard Rock Hotel suites which benefit the cause, casino programs, live music donations and much more.
Save the Planet
Hard Rock International began working hard to "Save the Planet" long before the environment became a widely supported cause. Its pioneering mission to give something back – both on a global basis and by involvement in smaller community projects – has not only served as a catalyst to raise funds, but it has also enhanced the very profile of corporate charity work.
In every Hard Rock city, the staff makes it a priority to become a valuable community partner. Members of Hard Rock International's "Ambassador Program" provide ongoing fundraising and volunteer services to a variety of charities and non-profit organizations vital to each community that each Hard Rock serves. Hard Rock Ambassadors have been involved in charitable causes, ranging from neighbourhood recycling drives to annual Earth Day events, beach clean-ups, meals for the homeless and more.
Hard Rock's ongoing support of various environmental organizations, such as Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance, National Arbor Day Foundation, Farm Aid, Concert for the Oceans Foundation, Surfrider Foundation USA and SurfAid International, displays the brand's commitment towards a cleaner, eco-friendly world.
Take Time to be Kind
From San Francisco to New York to London to Dubai, each member of the Hard Rock family takes time to be kind – following the example set by Hard Rock's founders – and is still respected by Hard Rock International's corporate headquarters to this day.
In 1990, Hard Rock International launched its Signature Series T-shirt line to benefit various charities. This innovative series involves musicians and artists – from U2, Elton John and Eric Clapton to Bruce Springsteen, Ozzy Osbourne, Shakira, Green Day, Jon Bon Jovi, Linkin Park and Ringo Starr – donating an original piece of artwork to be reproduced on a limited edition T-shirt, sales of which benefit the artist's nominated charity. One of the more successful avenues of fundraising to date, Hard Rock's Signature Series line has raised millions for a wide variety of causes.
All is One
Never straying too far from its musical roots, Hard Rock International has participated in numerous high-profile rock charity events of the past decade, a tradition that began with Live Aid in 1985. From the Nelson Mandela Tribute at Wembley in London, to The Wall concert in Berlin, to a Bob Dylan Tribute in New York – if there are music and a meaningful cause, count on Hard Rock to be there to help.
Leveraging key relationships in the entertainment industry, Hard Rock International has banded together with several organizations to stress the importance of music today. Organizations that have joined Hard Rock for this cause include the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (GRAMMYs), Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (Latin GRAMMYs), Gibson Foundation, Rock the Vote, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, School of Rock, VH1 Save the Music and more.
Charitable work will always be integral to "what" Hard Rock "is."
At Hard Rock Hotel Penang, several philanthropic events and activities are organised each year.
Below are the projects that we initiate locally to benefit Penang charities and non-profit organisations:
It started as a craving for some good American grub, a penchant for fun, a Zen faith in serendipity, and a passion for rock 'n' roll.
For the 3rd consecutive year, Pinfest has drawn approximately 80 pin collectors hailing from different parts of Malaysia to trade and exchange their valuable pin collections and expand their inventory with each other while raising fund for a good cause. Lively programmes were lined up during the gathering with the likes of raffles, silent auctions, a buffet lunch and performances by Hard Rock Cafe band.
Proceeds from this remarkable event were channelled to Pertubuhan Kebajikan Fokus Beramal Pulau Pinang (PKFBPP) and Pertubuhan Kebajikan Kommuniti Cakna Pulau Pinang to help with food supplies for underprivileged individuals and families.
Rock To Rock Run 2017 was established to raise awareness and funds for a good cause. The 7th annual philanthropic competitive run event helped to raise funds to build a zinc roof for Sekolah Kebangsaan Batu Ferringhi, a century-old British school with limited land for assembly and recreational activities.
Due to its overwhelming response from the public, the registration for the run was closed within three days with two thousand runners run competing in two categories – Fun Run (3.8km) and Competitive Run (10.2km).
The charitable sports event was flagged off by the State Exco Youth and Sports, Women and Family and Community Development Chong Eng along with Hard Rock Hotel Penang General Manager, John Primmer, and supported by the Penang State Government, Penang Sports Council, Penang Amateur Athletic Association, City Council of Penang Island, Tropical Spice Garden, Entopia, Jesin Builders Sdn Bhd, Sharp, Brooks, Sanyu, PBA, Delta, Coca-Cola, Perskindol and Garmin.
Every year on June 14, Hard Rocks around the world commemorate the day its founders, Issac Tigrett and Peter Morton, brought their vision of glorious American hamburgers to the Brits – the day Hard Rock Cafe started operating in London in 1971 and an iconic brand was born! Hard Rock Hotel Penang, likewise, celebrated its 47th birthday having the band members dressed up in trendy 70's fashion and had a groovy dance party in the lobby with the guests.
Hard Rock Hotel Penang was honoured to receive its first philanthropy accolade, the CSR Malaysia Award 2018, "Company of The Year" for the hotel category. The hotel was one of the 35 listed and private companies in Malaysia being honoured, recognized and awarded for championing welfare initiatives in efforts to create a better Malaysia. All winners from various industries were selected based on the authenticity of their philanthropy initiatives, the creative implementations, the frequency of initiatives held and the significant impacts created from the initiatives in support of the local community.
It was an unforgettable Hard Rockin' Christmas for 200 underprivileged children and young adults with disabilities!
Hard Rock Hotel Penang under the Hard Rock Heals Foundation along with YMCA Penang hosted a charitable Christmas party for underprivileged children and young adults with disabilities from Persatuan Perkhidmatan Komuniti Taiping (ESDA) – Chrystal Home, Persatuan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim LMSTP, Taiping – Persatuan Rumah Kebajikan Penyayang Ren Ai, Sungai Petani – NTA School for the Refugee Children (Rohingya Children's Work), Alor Setar and The Salvation Army Penang Children's Home. With the help of 80 volunteers, the overwhelming event successfully raised a whopping thirteen thousand ringgit fund and provided educational aid to all the 200 underprivileged children and young adults with disabilities.

One of the most common vehicular accidents is a rear-end collision. This happens when drivers lack the maneuvering room to see and then react appropriately if the car in front of them suddenly stops. This can be avoided by keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle to your front.
By following the Three-second rule, you give yourself some time to react to a sudden change in driving conditions. The National safety council believes that a driver ought to have a minimum three-second following distance.
The Three-Second Gap
It is really easy to make a three-second gap. If you are tailing a vehicle, just pick any road sign, building, tree or any other marker. When the vehicle in front of you passes just recite One One Thousand, Two One Thousand, Three One Thousand, and viola. Three seconds have passed. Only then can you also reach the same spot. If less than three seconds have passed between the car in front of you passing and your own passage then it might not be safe, and it would be a good idea to slow down to create more distance.
What You Need to Know
Consider this, when building highways the engineers use time rather than distance when creating spaces. The Engineering rule of thumb is 2.5 seconds. The idea is that within that time a driver can perceive danger and then react to it in time with a little allowance in case the driver has a slow reaction time.
The National Safety Council uses this standard, with a little extra time of half a second for safety, this is why they recommend the Three Second Rule. Regarding following distance.
When Three Seconds Isn't Enough
The three-second rule is a good benchmark for drivers who are driving during ideal road conditions and in good weather. If road conditions are less than ideal or if there is bad weather it is recommended that you slow down and increase your distance even more.
Five-second rule is ideal during bad weather. After all, if the road I wet it is harder for brakes to bite as the road can be slippery.
If driving an SUV or larger vehicle, it might also be a good idea to increase the distance between your vehicle and the one in front. After all larger vehicles have more inertia and can take a longer time to stop. Even worse, a big vehicle with its center of gravity in weird places can suddenly fishtail or tip over if it tries to stop suddenly.
Be wary of distractions
Texting while driving is always distracting. The same goes when a driver is trying to drink or when the driver checks out his navigational device. Either way, distractions are a good way to risk accidents.
Even if you comply with the three-second rule if you are distracted, you might still be unable to react in a timely manner to potential dangers so avoid distracted driving at all costs.

Old school games, however, always find a place to thrive. You just have to look. If you can't find them illegally on the PC, or legally on Nintendo's latest Game Boy, the DS, or on the sexy PSP, you can drive over to the nearest Golfland or Nickel City and play them for real. Joining this relatively vast new handheld set (and the arcades) is Microsoft's new venture, Xbox Live Arcade, a virtual arcade that exists on the Xbox 360, and on which arcade games of all types are thriving. Currently, approximately 24 Xbox Live Arcade games have hit Microsoft's "Arcade" since the system launched on November 22, 2005, and, as part of Microsoft's new campaign, "Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays" should deliver as many as 26 more titles by year's end.
Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade team, led by Greg Canessa, is managing the portfolio of titles with great care. They're particularly supportive of smaller, independent developers. While it's been said before, the fact is smaller garage developers really have a much harder time making it. And we're not talking making it big, we're just talking about making it -- at all. But smaller companies are making games with a focus on simplicity, addictiveness, and quick easy fun -- the tenets of the arcade. Companies such as Pop Cap (Zuma Deluxe, Bejeweled 2: Deluxe), Garage Games (Marble Blast Ultra), Gastronaut (Small Arms), and NinjaBee/Wahoo Studios (Outpost Kaloki X, Cloning Clyde) make little games packed with intelligent fun and an amazing capacity to attract a broad audience. There are dozens more where these guys came from, and Canessa's team is diligently sorting through submissions to discover the next big company, whether it's creating a simple Uno game or the next Geometry Wars Evolved.
Last week we visited one small developer, Seattle, Wa.-based Gastronaut Studios, to see its upcoming Xbox Live Arcade game, Small Arms. Making its debut at E3 2006 in May, Gastronaut's Small Arms instantly proved popular with its action-fighter qualities in the vein of Nintendo's Smash Bros. A 2D game by nature, this attractive little action-fighter pits weapon-wielding animals (some might even call them "furries") against as many as three others in both offline and online interactive environments. While it's like Smash Brothers in concept, the mid-range weapons-based fighting distances Small Arms enough from Nintendo's game to make it both original and attractive.
Gastranaut Studios is based in the suburbs of Seattle, tucked away in a small one-room studio behind two store-front businesses. From the front, you would never know Gastronaut even existed. The entrance is located in the back alley and even the door itself is hidden, nonchalant and obscure. To get to Gastronaut, you'd have to know someone who worked there. The one-room studio is clean and well lit, build with white walls, several windows, and a clean rug; in fact, it was hot and sunny -- which was weird because Seattle isn't known for its sunny skies and 90-degree weather. Apparently, there are always at least one or two dogs there at any one time, but they hid them for my visit. When I arrived, they were tweaking the game's newly implemented sniper rifle.
Consisting of Jacob Van Wingen, managing director, Don Wurster, co-director, Misrael Armendariz, artist, and Scott Thunelius, designer at large, Gastronaut doesn't necessarily subscribe to the make-it-rich-philosophy. "We want to stay small," said Van Wingen, who started the company and whose first game, Fuzzy Fever, was one of the first independent Xbox Live Arcade game on the first Xbox in 1994. "We want to make fun games like Small Arms. We enjoy staying small. We have a lot of creative control and it suits us."
Part of the main tenets behind Xbox Live Arcade is to keep focused on small, independent developers, who can bring inventive, arcade ideas to the system while taking bigger risks that bigger publishers can't or won't do. On the surface, Small Arms isn't necessarily original; it's very much like Smash Bros., but there are no other games like it on Xbox 360 or XBLA. Each fighter has his or her own default weapon, all with secondary fire, with the additional option of picking up any weapons in the environment. Small Arms characters range from cats to ninjas, robots to reptiles, each designed with a super-deformed style that's cute yet not totally couched in Japanese design. The characters are really cute, though; one could quickly find a bunch of favorites and become attached to any one of the 12 characters. The game also supports two- to four-player offline gameplay -- perfectly suited for gamers to get together on a couch and play late into the evening. And it supports two- to four-player Xbox Live gameplay, also perfect for people in need of a fun, fast brawler, but online.

Got in touch with attorney Andrew Sommerman today, who lives next door-ish to the Cuban properties on Averill Way and Jourdan Way. I gleaned a little more info on why Cuban may have wanted to pick up 8601 Jourdan Way.
Recall that it was Eric Nicholson who figured out that Cubes bought the 76 year old, 7000 plus square foot mansion on 1.46 acres. Paid $2,900,000. And this is what he says Cuban would like to do with a real estate developer named Michael Romo — is he related to Tony or the famous plastic surgeon in NYC?:
According to Sommerman, Romo detailed plans for an office high-rise on the west side of the property, with a stouter, two-story office complex planned for the east. The plans also call for putting a stoplight at Northwest Highway and Jourdan Way, a tiny, rutted street midway between Preston and Douglas, intersections that also have stoplights.
Sommerman reminded me that commercial buildings would not only violate the zoning in the area, the deed restrictions call for a minimum 1 acre lot to build a home. We had those same restrictions when we owned 5511 Park Lane. People who own acres are very, very protective of those hefty parcels and will guard them with their life. The one-plus acre lots in Preston Hollow, Sunnybrook, and a few other areas of town are extremely rare for urban living.
But then Mr. Sommerman said this: when you buy a lot in this part of Preston Hollow, your property line goes to the middle of the street. So in effect, Mark Cuban has just bought a whole street in Preston Hollow since he owns 8601 Jourdan Way and also the properties across the street: 5830, 5926 Averill Way plus 8500, 8530 (and now 8601) Jourdan Way. So basically when you turn onto Jourdan Way from Northwest Highway, you will be on Mark Cuban's kingdom!
Then, Mr. Sommerman says Michael Romo told him they planned to build an estate home at 8601 Jourdan Way, across the street from the commercial buildings — the "office high-rise on the west side of the property, the stouter, two-story office complex planned for the east."
"I don't believe him," said Mr. Sommerman, " and you can quote me as saying that. Why would anyone build an estate property right across from commercial?"
That retail in the far right lower corner is Ebby Halliday's The Little White House, owned by Ebby Halliday, who has said she has no intention to sell.
Other neighbors in this 'hood will weigh in, surely: Gabriel Barbier-Mueller, Baxter Brinkmann, Lisa Blue and Howard Rachofsky. All vigorously opposed the Transwestern deal across the street Behind the Pink Wall.
"We thought it was too dense for the area," Andrew told me today.

When is the last time that you used a timing-light to tune your engine or used a screw driver to adjust the fuel and oxygen ratios? Unless you are a classic car aficionado it has likely been awhile, and for good reason. All new cars come equipped with an Engine Control Computer that tunes the car actively and continuously. This has lead to greater reliability (remember pinging and knocking), better gas mileage, and improved performance. In fact many economy cars today have more horsepower and better gas mileage than many of the most expensive sports cars built before engine control computers. Antilock brakes, regenerative braking, autofocus camera, video recorders, plane autopilot systems, etc. all rely on active continuous optimization using surprisingly similar methodologies.
Ironically one system that hasn't yet been taken over by this revolution is the computer, until now. When your computer (physical/virtual, server/desktop) or application isn't performing well a team is often assembled to address the problem. Each arrive with their own "timing-lights" and "screw drivers" and the system is tinkered with until the problem goes away or worse, the system is completely replaced. While the datacenter has enjoyed major improvements such as self-healing networks and live automatic migration, they still lag behind almost every other device that has benefited from active continuous optimization. For one they require significant configuration based on the goals of the environment. They also largely focus on a single resource constraint and find an available device with that resource.
Every component that is assembled to create a server, from device drivers to applications, are built to be optimized for their specific environment and operating criteria. However, when combined into a single system, the level of interdependency and number of variables makes the task of doing so too difficult for a mere mortal. Tuning the heart of the computer: the operating system, has become a lost art and virtually all computers are installed with the standard default settings. These settings, delivered by the manufacturer as part of the installation process, or created by large IT organizations as "gold" configurations are designed to ensure the servers perform in a wide variety of instances, but not necessary to perform well. When cars became too complex to tune by hand, a computer was developed to do so automatically. Veloxum has created that computer, but to tune servers, not cars.
When Veloxum setup to address the server "self-healing" issue they looked to the active continuous optimization models used by other solutions and realized that the same concept could be applied to server tuning which would enable all of the many settings within the operating system to remain tuned for the current work load. The result was far better than we even imagined it would be. The state of the art prior to ACO was for a person to spend several days adjusting the many settings and relying on past experience to come up with a "tuned" server. One problem (just like for the automobile without ACO) the system needs to be tuned up again once the work load or environment changes. Possibly an even a bigger hurdle is that with so many possible permutations to the many settings a computer is much better than a person at determining the best settings. The result is that even a recently "tuned" computer by an expert will not be quite as efficient as one tuned by the computer itself using ACO.
Application Delivery Challenges
According to a recent survey by CIO Magazine, virtualizing servers, centralizing data centers and adding high-bandwidth collaboration tools are IT's top priorities during this economic downturn1. While these projects may make sense financially and tactically, they also have a negative effect on application operation. Consider these results from a recent survey2:
- 77% of corporations reported that virtualization had had a significant, negative impact on application performance.
- 69% of companies said data center consolidation was causing application degradation.
- 43% confirmed that high-bandwidth applications, such as video and collaboration, were making it difficult to maintain performance.
Operating System Settings: Lurking Inefficiency
A covert but significant performance obstacle exists within Enterprise server infrastructure: the native inefficiency and static nature of operating system settings.
For example, Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, Exchange 2003 and Windows XP – a common application set commonly deployed together – have over 350,000 permutations of configuration settings, not including the huge number of settings for browsers, or OS settings for CPU, I/O and RAM on servers, along with their associated desktop hardware.
Some of these settings may interact poorly with each other or even conflict. The majority are not well documented, especially in the significant way that they can cause synergistic effects with other settings. Although IT personal can manually tune all hardware and software systems, in larger data centers, it is impossible to do so in a realistic timeframe. Virtualized systems magnify this issue as local changes become irrelevant with shifting workloads. As a result, IT personnel encounter performance degradation and reduced capacity within their server infrastructure across the enterprise. According to a study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy, headed by Dr. Jonathan Koomey, the average server delivers less than 20% of its performance capacity when deployed in a commercial enterprise.
The Solution: Active Continuous Optimization
Enterprise server infrastructure optimization tools that utilize active continuous optimization (ACO) attack overt and covert causes of degradation. They unlock the potential of the existing server infrastructure thus increasing the efficiency of what you already own, improving application performance across the enterprise without costly hardware upgrades or increases in bandwidth.
Veloxum created its own comprehensive Enterprise server optimization solution specifically to tune server performance and to maximize server capacity. It targets the heart of the server, the operating system, working to maximize the efficient use of all server and client components that depend upon OS interaction including:
- Applications and Databases
- Memory
- Network
- Storage
Veloxum's ACO approach
Veloxum's features make it an exceptional tool by:
- Identifying and fixing performance problems via active remediation through a patent-pending process
- Rapidly optimizing both server and client, often within minutes
- Adjusting existing hardware and OS settings "out-of-band" while staying within the manufacturer's supported ranges
- Periodically optimizing with changes deployed either automatically or through existing change-control procedures
- Supporting Linux, AIX, SUN and Windows OS with supplied OS modules
- Optimizing popular apps such as Exchange, SharePoint, SQLserver, Lotus Notes and Oracle with optional Application Optimization Modules (AOM)
- And deploying quickly and easily

The Another Roadside Attraction show at Seabird Island two years ago was one of Gordon Downie's all-time favourite gigs. The Tragically Hip vocalist told the Georgia Straight recently that it was the natural beauty of the Agassiz location—surrounded by nearby mountains and dense woods—that made the concert so special, and he admitted that the change in Roadside venues to UBC's football stadium would undoubtedly take away from the potential for magical moments.
But whatever the 1995 version lacked in scenery last Thursday (July 13), it made up for with an impressive lineup of bands, fine sound, and a near-capacity crowd of 29,000 (9,000 more than the previous week's Lollapalooza count). Not even the absence of 1993 coheadliners Midnight Oil could put a damper on things.
The show kicked off right on time at 1 p.m. with the Inbreds, a Kingston, Ontario, duo comprised of singer-bassist Mike O'Neill and drummer Dave Ullrich. The guitarless band looked tiny up there on the massive six-storey stage, but its stripped-down approach actually resulted in some bouncy, surprisingly rounded pop tunes in the old Grapes of Wrath tradition. The Inbreds' half-hour set was followed by another 30 minutes with Moncton's Eric's Trip, the first Canadian signing to Seattle's influential Sub-Pop label. The quartet's strident, psychedelic noise-pop made it the weakest link in the eight-act roster, though; its grating approach would have been more suited to the previous week's grunge-fest.
Ontario's Rheostatics helped ease my ravaged eardrums somewhat with a nurturing, percussive vibe and polished vocals courtesy of Dave Bidini and Tim Vesely. The group's fluid material showed a keen grasp of dynamics, subtly building intensity before homing in on underlying melody. The crowd showed particular appreciation for the gently rocking ballad "Claire", from the acclaimed Canadian film Whale Music.
The afternoon's first droplets of rain splattered my notepad as the Rheostatics finished, and though the drizzle offered a welcome respite from the muggy heat, it was all the incentive this scribbler needed to head backstage in search of liquid sustenance. From the media beer tent, a sound of jangly guitars and gorgeous harmonies could soon be heard, but it wasn't an early start by Matthew Sweet, just the house DJ teasing all with a tape of the Odds' similar-sounding "Horses".
When Sweet did appear 10 minutes later, the first of the crowd's overactive types got to moshing—bodysurfing to the provocative strains of his current hit, "Sick of Myself"—but it wasn't till the next-up Blues Traveler plugged in that things really started to burn. The most technically adept group on the bill, Blues Traveler is also one of the most adventurous rock bands around, and whether churning out a ferocious improvisational blues romp or revitalizing a crusty crowd-pleaser like "Low Rider", it couldn't lose. Tragically Hip manager Jake Gold certainly pulled off a coup when he got this seasoned outfit on the tour.
By the time Vancouver's own Spirit of the West went on at about 5:15, the stadium's bleachers were jam-packed and latecomers searched the grounds for the odd patch of open grass. The only western Canadian entry on the Roadside tour had its loyal local following bouncing madly to the catchy politico-pop strains of "Shake the Tree" and the new "Two Headed". It was totally fitting that during the environment-conscious "Save This House", the sun peeked through the persistent cloud cover for the first time all day—and what better way to set the mood for Jamaica's Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers? That band's slinky, buoyant mix of reggae, R&B, and hip-hop relayed an uplifting message of peace and love and got the masses joyously geared up for the arrival of Roadside's main attraction.
"It's good to be on traditional Musqueam territory again," announced Downie as the Hip rambled onstage, its arrival resulting in a swift surge toward the stage and the instant perching of multitudes of young women on male shoulders. The band launched right into its popular concert rave-up, "Blow at High Dough", and continued bashing out its rough-hewn hits—plus new tunes such as "Springtime in Vienna" and "Gift Shop"—for the next 90 minutes.
As usual, concertmaster Downie held the Tragically Hip's reins in a loose grip, mostly allowing the riff-driven beast to run wild, but reeling it in when the time came to lecture some goof on the hazards of tossing shoes at the stage. At one point, the charismatic crooner gestured at an airplane that was circling intrusively above, trailing a banner advertising a fast-food franchise. "Hey, look everybody," he proclaimed, "Bruce Allen!"

At the beginning of the year I was at point where I wasn't sure what was next for me in my writing journey. I never thought I would get to a point where I considered shelfing my novel Torque.
Fear. It can one of may blocks in the road for writers when they start or finish a project. I began to struggle with this after coming back from vacation and missing my self-imposed deadline. I kept putting my morning writing off until the evening and then I would say I'm tired and head to bed.
Anytime I did "try" and write, I kept distracting myself on the internet.
Trying to think of ways to link your scenes together is as hard as looking at a blank page.
But the other day I realized that it was just the fear and self-doubt keeping me from going back to what I enjoy.
Maybe it's good to start small. But for some of us, we decided that we would start with a large manuscript.
Once you finally realize what you've done, you've already told so many people that you're working on a novel. You probably feel kind stuck right now…

I've come to realize why it's hard to write, and why it may be hard for others to write. The expectancy of x amount of pages for chapter or book.
When someone expects a certain amount or as a writer, you pressure yourself to get the amount you want or need, it can take the fun out of writing. It can make your writing area into a stressful environment. Which is not very productive.
It's all some writers, like myself, can think about when writing. It started to make me feel unmotivated when I tried and write Torque.

Great boat for tubing or just touring the lake.
135 hp bow rider great for tubing, skiing, and swimming. Sit at the sandbar and listen to the radio or take a tour of the lake. Boat seats 7 occupants.
Bow rider comes fully equipped with tow lines, tube, life preservers, throw cushion, anchor, and mooring lines.
Presently on the water on Pine River Pond, so would be ideal for anyone staying on the pond, but boat and trailer are available for you to tow to other lakes in the NH Lakes Region.
Great experience with Peter
Awesome experience. Boat was ready and ran great. Will definitely recommend Peter and this boat.
Peter was great to rent from. He was accommodating, took the time to make sure I was comfortable with everything about the boat and trailer, and was flexible when my plans didn't align to my schedule. The boat was fantastic. Ran awesome, perfect for my family, and provided us an added layer of enjoyment for our vacation that we otherwise wouldn't have had. I would rent from Peter again in a heartbeat, and plan to!
It was a pleasure dealing with Peter. Very responsive to my questions and accommodating throughout the entire process. Bet praise I could give is that I will rent from him again! You should too...unless it's when I want to!
2nd year in a row Peter did a great job. We hope to see you next year...
Great experience! Boat was nice and was perfect for our vacation. Peter made everything so easy. Would definitely rent again!
exactly what we were looking for. had a great time. Peter was terrific.
Great experience! Would definitely rent again! Everything went smoothly and the boat was perfect for our family on the lake.
The boat was a perfect fit for our excursion. The owner communicated very well and everything worked out great.
Thanks again

Painting by Joy Chatterjee tweet
Joy Chatterjee has a unique style of painting the portraits he picks as his subjects. He is exceptionally particular about portraying the exact personality that is reflected on a face, especially, of someone who had left behind a legacy behind her for the world to learn from. I immensely appreciate the efforts he puts in to paint the eyes and the surrounding areas, as he perfectly brings out the emotion out of them, be it with the water inside the eyes or be it with the detailing of every fold of the muscle around the eyes. His sense of light and shade is impeccable as he keeps focused into the direction of the incoming light and the corresponding shade(s) on the subject. tweet
A portrait done by sketching with color pencil requires an excellent skill of angled strokes of pencil. Mazher Ali seems to have mastered the skill to sketch such portraits. His extra-ordinary talent of mixing colors to bring out the true essence of every fold in the skin and in the clothes of this portrait truly creates an artwork that reflects finesse. While it is very difficult to sketch a portrait with front-light view, Mazher Ali makes sure he keeps perfect balance of color for every depth and pencil-stroke angle for every surface. tweet
Painting by Rajesh Kamble tweet
Rajesh Kamble has beautifully painted the portraits with one prime portrait in a frame of many portraits that reflect various moods of the same personality. His brilliant sense of proportion, height and depth of all light and shades, and his presentation of the frame are highlights of this painting. tweet
Painting by Joy Chatterjee tweet
A portrait painted with oil on canvas comes as alive as it looks. This portrait is another piece of mesmerising art that inspires us to pause and reflect. This portrait is as gripping and liberating at the same time. Every strand of hair beautifully painted gives a depth of new dimension to the portrait, and Joy Chatterjee, with his panache for painting such engaging eyes inspires us to feel a glimpse of the vision that the subject of the portrait is envisioning. tweet

An Intimate Wedding | Kim + Andrew
Kim and Andrew shared an intimate wedding celebration with their families and at one of the cutest little venues near Galveston Bay! Since Andrew is in the Coast Guard, they were always on the move, and unable to plan anything really big, but decided to share their special day with just the closest family members. There is something so sweet about these intimate ceremonies, and I always feel like part of the family when I get to photograph them. They seem so much more personal, and there is so much less stress on the bride and groom. It really was so perfect.
If you would like more information on how to schedule your own Intimate Wedding, please visit my website. I would love to hear from you!
