When an individual decides to make Home and Garden Improvements to their residence, there should be a specific factor as to why they deem it is required for the renovations. If there is not a particular factor, as well as they are just puttering around, the aggravation of the entire process could result in an incomplete project and unfavorable results for your backyard or home. There are many wonderful needs to deal with a task such as this. Below are a couple reasons to aid you decide if home and yard improvements are the appropriate choice for your house.
Raising Your Residences Worth
One reason; in particular, that lots of people attempt any kind of house and also garden renovations is to boost the worth of their residence. One of the most crucial things, one must think of previously dealing with a task like a house and also yard renovation, is whether or not it will deserve the effort as well as cost? Ideally the enhancements made to your home should include worth to your home. According to many service providers, when an unskilled person handles any type of home and garden enhancements they should price out every little thing they think they will certainly require, after that contrast rates at a number of different equipment shops.
This will aid you budget the proper quantity wherefore you need. One of the most often cited factor home owners do not complete their home and yard improvements is since it was also tough as well as expense excessive money. Once you have identified just how much it's "really" mosting likely to set you back, speak to a Real estate agent regarding just how much it will enhance the worth of your residence. If the cost of the expenditure is not mosting likely to include extra worth to your residence, You may intend to reevaluate your house renovation task.
Another need to consider house and also yard renovations, is the benefits the improvements will give to you and also your family members. Ask on your own this question, is my house they I like it? Probably you are tired of old breezy windows as well as the effect it carries your heating bill. Or would you really feel much safer if you had exterior safety lights set up around the border of your residence? Whatever the situation could be, renovating your the home of fit your domesticities style and also convenience level, will certainly improve the perception you have concerning your residence.

Replace algorithms
Programs run slower most of the time because of the algorithm chosen to implement the functionality. There are two ways you can measure the performance of algorithms, one is theoretical on standard algorithms (sorting, searching, etc) and practically by measuring the time taken for the custom algorithm.
The most common metric for calculating time complexity is Big O notation. It provides theoretical estimates of number of steps needed by any algorithm for the input length 'N'.
Finding an item in an unsorted list, the time complexity is O(n), means it takes max of 'n' steps(traversals) to search for an element in a list which contains 'n' elements. For example, if searching through a list of 1,000 elements takes one second, it will take two seconds to search through a list of 2,000 elements.
Following are some replacements, which are faster than their counterparts.
- Replace Binary search O(log n) with normal linked traversal O(n)
- Replace Hashing O(1) with normal linked list traversal O(n)
- Replace Quick sort O(n log n) with bubble or insertion sort O(n^2)
More complex algorithms and data structures perform well when there are many elements, whereas simple algorithms are more suitable for small amounts of data. In this case we can implement both the algorithms in the system and pick appropriate algorithm based on the number of elements.
Parallel/Distributed computing
Parallel computing is dividing large tasks into smaller ones, which are then executed in parallel in multiple threads or process on multiple processors. If the subdivided tasks are inter dependent, then task sequence needs to be synchronized to yield correct result.
Distributed computing is similar to parallel computing in which instead of multiple processors, many computers will be used to solve the problem. The inherent advantage of distributed computing is scalability (can handle more requests by adding more machines) and high availability (by providing redundant machines for computing in case of failure).
Use Efficient data structures
Data structure should be chosen based on the data access requirements. For sequential access, list is better and for random access based on index, array is better. If we store customer information in memory as a list, when customer information needs to be searched based on the customer ID, then it needs to traverse the list by comparing each element with the required ID till it find the element. This list data structure shall be replaced with a hash table structure, which will avoid traversals, and required information can be found faster.
If we need to get range of customer ids say from 100 to 200, then with list data structure, it traverse the whole list by checking whether the element value is within the range specified. This list data structure shall be replaced with binary tree data structure to store the records so that retrieval will be faster. Below table summarizes which data structure should be used for a data access pattern
Array – Random access on finite elements with an index
List – Sequential access on infinite elements and more insertions than selection or deletion
Hash Table – Random access on infinite elements on a key
Tree – Find largest, range browse alphabetically, etc on a key
Reduce Contention
Multi threaded programs when they share some data, it will be synchronized through either a mutex or semaphore. When multiple threads try to grab the lock simultaneously to access the shared data, it will be blocked and only one thread at a time will be allowed to take the lock and change the data structure.
Once that thread completes, the next thread, which is in queue to get that mutex, will be granted the lock. If this contention increases in your program, it means that though you have multiple threads all are waiting for that lock to perform operation on the shared resource one after the other sequentially. Below are some techniques to reduce lock contention
- Keep critical section as small as possible (critical section is code written between mutex acquire and mutex release). Keep only the code that changes the shared data in the critical section. Move all the other
operations outside the critical section.
- When there are lots of threads which reads the shared data and rarely changes the value, then use read/write locks. In this, multiple threads are allowed to read simultaneously and only one thread is allowed to write exclusively.
- Reduce the granularity of lock. Instead of locking whole list, lock only the element in the list. This way others are allowed to accesses other elements in the list.
- If you are using semaphores for synchronization, then you can detect contention by getting statistics using semctl() function. This will contain the last semaphore operation time, pid which did the last operation,
value of the semaphore, number of processes currently waiting on a semaphore, etc.
Partial Evaluation
An application may use a generic function in a very specific way and pay a performance penalty for functionality it does not need from it. If this generic function is called many a times from our program, then the overall performance of our program will degrade. This shall be overcome by replacing the generic function with a specialized function, which suits only our need so that it performs faster. This technique is called partial evaluation.
malloc() and free() are generic allocators designed in such a way that it allows simultaneous allocation from multiple thread. This is implemented internally with the help of either a mutex or semaphore, which incurs computational cost.
If you are allocating many items from single thread, then it is better to write your own custom allocator to improve the performance. malloc() is designed for allocating arbitrary size of memory. If your program requires allocating many fixed size items, then writing custom allocator for fixed size items will drastically improve the performance.
Cache frequently accessed data which does not change
Cache is the duplication of original values stored elsewhere or computed earlier close to where the computation happens, as the original data is expensive to fetch. Once the data is stored in the cache, subsequent fetch will access it from the cached copy rather than re-fetching the original data. For example, data stored in disk or database shall be cached if it is accessed frequently to improve the performance. If that frequently accessed data shall be modified by external systems, then the caching mechanisms should deal with it to avoid stale reads
from the cache.
When configuration parameters are stored in file and are used in programs many times in many place, instead of opening the file and reading the appropriate name, value pair we shall read the file once and store the data in memory and subsequent calls to read configuration value shall be retrieved from memory without involving any disk I/O.
Perform time taking operations asynchronously
In a function, if some operations take lot of time (for example writing log message to disk), it can be done asynchronously by using a dedicated thread or process (log writer process) to perform that job. The function will return immediately after it instructs the log writer process to initiate file write. One common issue with this is last few messages will be lost in case of crash.
Use macros to turn on/off debug messages
Prefer to use macros than condition checking to enable debugging or logging. Debug messages are mostly used during the development of the program and usually are disabled in the production systems. Macros do not incur any run time overhead, which makes them a good candidate for implementing debug messages.
int debug=0;
int function()
//do something here
if (debug)
printf("This is debug message");
//do something here
shall be replaced to
#define DEBUG
int function()
//do something here
#ifdef DEBUG
printf("This is debug message");
//do something here

Sunday breakfast: doughnut muffins by King Arthur Flour – very good!
Okay this is the first of my weekly meal plans. As mentioned a few posts ago one of my goals this year is to become more organized and create a Menu and since I am sharing all aspects of my 2011 goals, here is the next part of it. My hope is that over this year I will end up with a collection of Go-To recipes that are easy enough for weeknight dinners, and some freezer friendly recipes ready prepared for quick use during the week.
For years now I have been planning my dinners by week, I will attempt planning my lunches too. A few weeks ago I found a blog called This Week for Dinner where people share their weekly dinner menus – great site you should visit it if you want inspiration for ideas!
– Pan Roasted Pork Saltimbocca w/butter and herb orzo and green salad.
(Lunch: Egg Salad Sandwich, sliced apples & edamame)
-Make your own flatbread pizzas (flatbread dough made Sunday then frozen)
(Lunch: left overs)
-Cornflake Chicken Strips w/potato wedges and steamed broccoli
(Lunch: w/a friend -Thai food)
– Ham 'n Beans (from the freezer)
(Lunch: Turkey BLT w/avocado spread)
– Eat Out! (Tacos – my daughter loves tacos)
(Lunch: Toasted Turkey sandwich w/sliced apples)
– Roman Chicken (Freeze leftovers for next week)
– Roasted whole chicken and mushrooms (my favorite staple food) w/garlic and parmesan mashed yukon golds. (I am going to Roast my chicken this week with Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking – Style)
I warn you I am spontaneous and if I find a good recipe during the week that warrants cooking on the weekend I may change up my weekend plan.

I have always appreciated the positive feedback and support that I have received from my readers at LA Splash. Some of you may know that in addition to writing, documenting, and researching about beauty, health, and lifestyle, I am also an actress and producer. One of my lifelong goals has always been to be able to independently produce features and maintain creative control over the final product.
Right now, I am working on a new film, "The House of Lizzie Borden", which is slated to shoot in two weeks time (November 11th). It will be a horror/thriller that is loosely based off of the gruesome but true story of Lizzie Borden. Right now we are working within the confines of a shoestring budget and are barely able to pay all our crew members for their time and work even though we have essentially shaved off several parts of the budget just to get to where we are now. As a result, we have put up a campaign on IndieGoGo in order to cover the basic costs that are necessary to producing, shooting, editing, and marketing the film. I would be so absolutely grateful if you would head over to the site, http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-house-of-lizzie-borden, and help us make this film the best that it can be!
Any donation, large or small, would be so greatly appreciated and even if you can't donate, please help us by spreading the word about this film!
Hope you all have a lovely day!
Love, Donna

Deep Throat: Running With Swords
werd: fox photography
werd: james niche
Some of you may have heard of her, but many in the current ACT:LIVE community may have not. Riley the sword swallower.
I met her at the Ludachrist show this past May, and have kind of lurked behind her since then.
She's an outspoken, brash - well, self-confessed bitch. But she's a lot of fun and can do things you only wish your girlfriend would dream of.
I sat down with her in High Falls this past week, got interrupted by an obnoxious woman visiting from Seattle (I mean that in the best way, if she's reading this), and got to find out a little more about what she does. Uncensored.
Peep this girl for those of you that don't know her. This was a fun interview for me. I got the fire breathing act and all.
ACT:LIVE: So does this type of entertainment run in the family?
Riley: I had a family member that was always doing forks and knives (swallowing) around the house, but I'm the only one that can do a sword or anything larger than a knife.
ACT:LIVE: Where did you grow up?
Riley: Webster/Penfield.
ACT:LIVE: Ahhh, where life is worth living, apparently. I spent my senior year there. Do you still live out there?
Riley: I still live out there, with the parents, yes.
ACT:LIVE: Milk it, I guess. (laughs)
Riley: Well, insurance costs and medical expenses are ridiculous for me. I have bipolar disorder and narcolepsy, it's much cheaper living at home paying those bills.
ACT:LIVE: Narcolepsy is what again? When you fall asleep a lot?
Riley: It's different than excessive daytime sleepiness; narcolepsy is where you can feel it coming on. Some people even hallucinate a little bit, like you're half dreaming.
ACT:LIVE: Does it ever affect your performance?
Riley: No, not really because I have adrenaline going.
So, I've been living at home to save money and have been doing this on the side. The sword swallowing isn't just a hobby for me either, it's a second income and a valid form of entertainment.
ACT:LIVE: I'd have to agree.
Riley: I think if less than a hundred people can do it out of millions, you have a market.
ACT:LIVE: What's the craziest thing you have swallowed?
Riley: Drumsticks, glow sticks. Glow sticks are really awkward because I can feel them hit the bottom of my stomach, they're very blunt. Once I start snakin' 'em in there it's more like an endoscope at that point.
ACT:LIVE: I know you have a hammer and nail in your routine, and I see a hammer in your case. What's all that for?
Riley: The big black rubber hammer is to pound the drumstick down my throat, it's for effect. I can do it without the hammer, but it looks cooler.
I use the little hammers to do the human blockhead. I pound a screwdriver into my face, in my nose to be exact.
ACT:LIVE: Wow.
Riley: The human blockhead routine any person can do, you just have to have the balls to do it. Your sinuses go up, then back, so it just depends on how big your sinus cavities are.
ACT:LIVE: Did you need to have an x-ray before hand to figure yours out?
Riley: No, but I did happen to have an MRI done when I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy. That's where I saw my septum is sort of deviated. I think I have one of the brain pictures on MySpace. Not everyone can say they have a picture of their brain. I'm gonna frame that some day.
ACT:LIVE: How does a typical show play out for you?
Riley: It depends on where I'm doing it. I've been doing a bit more burlesque lately, which starts with more of a strip-tease. I also incorporate the sword into that, while setting it on fire. I'll also throw in some comedy, depending on the audience, but audience participation is one key ingredient.
It also involves smoking a lot of pot so I can find the clientele more tolerable. (laughing) No, but really, all performers should be sober when working. Any level of intoxication can cause dangerous mistakes and accidents.
When I performed with My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, I spent a lot of time in the audience to get a feel for who I was working with and to see who would be good candidates to bring up on stage.
That show taught me a lot on how to be prepared and how to work with an audience.
I am also creating a new stage case so I can operate a little more "spur of the moment".
ACT:LIVE: Are hecklers ever a problem?
Riley: Hecklers and drunken guys are usually the worst, but in Long Island we almost had to kick out two drunken GIRLS.
Another sword swallowing female, whom I believe holds the record for most swords swallowed at one time (10 maybe?), was performing with multiple swords in her mouth while a man attempted to slide a folded bill onto her waist causing the swords to scissor and tear her insides. Not pretty.
ACT:LIVE: That was another question I had. Safety must be a huge issue for you.
Riley: Yeah, that's a story I always share with the security wherever I am working because I do not want to have to deal with the same problems in my life.
That's another reason that sideshow acts in general, need to be compensated fairly for performing as well. A lot of club owners and promoters think I'll be happy performing for free drinks or free promotion.
Free drinks don't pay the bills for me and they certainly won't pay my hospital bills when I get scissored someday. I know the economy is what it is, but they need to think more realistically. This is a valid profession and an extreme form of entertainment, not a dog and pony act. Remember, I AM PUTTING SWORDS IN MY BODY.
ACT:LIVE: Have you injured yourself yet?
Riley: No, nothing more than singing my nose hairs while fire breathing. I want to start letting people light their cigarettes off my sword while it's on fire.
ACT:LIVE: That would be dope.
Riley: There was a time when I swallowed a coat hanger and called myself the five foot three fetus. At Club Diablo, in Buffalo, it was a hit.
ACT:LIVE: Do you create your own costumes or do you buy them?
Riley: Yeah, I take a lot of random pieces, like that bra I had on earlier, and add my own flair to them.
We have another girl in the troupe that makes pasties, but I don't really go with those because I feel it distracts people from what I'm up there to do. Of course I add a bit of sexuality to the performance, but I'm not a stripper.
ACT:LIVE: How often are you out of town taking your act with you? (Lady with large ass and shopping cart rolls by on the bridge making it painfully hard to hear Riley or anything else for that matter.)
Riley: I'm not too far past Syracuse usually, but I have made it out to Long Island for a performance. It was at a fetish ball they were having there. A lot of people involved were pretty sick and couldn't make it out for the event, but it was an art show as well, so I displayed some of my paintings.
The Long Islanders all like to think they're tough so they were giving me a hard time before the show, but I think it's funny because those same guys would be hitting on me as soon as they saw my show. They like to try to find out what else I swallow. (laughs)
ACT:LIVE: I'm sure you get a lot of men asking the same old question.
Riley: I look at them and think to myself, "They are definitely under a foot long; they don't need a sword swallowed."
It's great I can talk about this stuff with you because in the mainstream media, certain topics have to be censored.
ACT:LIVE: I'm glad too, let's talk about more sword swallowing. (laughing)
Riley: One rule, don't sleep with anybody that knows. Tell them afterwards.
The worst was when a man was hitting on me with his knowledge of Arthur Shawcross.
I told him I was a Charles Manson kind of girl.
ACT:LIVE: So, you prefer to not be raped and dumped in a river, but to be stabbed and have your baby cut out.
ACT:LIVE: I wanted to plug your website for you, is that new or has it been around for a while?
Riley: It's been up for a while; I just started revamping it recently. I'm adding new pictures and material.
I manage the site by myself; I've been doing HTML since I was like twelve. I actually like talking about this for a change; I get bored with the sword talk. (laughs)
ACT:LIVE: Well, I'm going to end this with the plug of your website again, along with a plug on your upcoming events. Thanks Riley.

A reminder, this Friday at TILT is a party that you really should be at. You can check out the interview below and find out more, but the Bachelors of Science are not an act to be missed. Peace Kiddies...

Right now we're listening to:
Reece Q "Space Bass" ("Quote To Self", 2008, ACT:LIVE MUSIC)
Bachelors Of Science: The ACT:LIVE Interview
werd: james niche
[de]Blase Entertainment and the St8Cyde Jump Up are proud to present the Bachelors of Science to TILT Night Club this Friday, and I am very excited.
These men have been lighting a fire under the ass of the Drum and Bass world worldwide and now is the time to see them before they head back into the studio to work on new material.
Bachelors, Chris and Rene, were kind enough to take some time out of their busy schedules and shed some light on where they've been, where they are and what's coming up in the future.
So, all you DnB heads, enjoy. I now present the Bachelors Of Science...
ACT:LIVE: So, where are you right now as you type this?
Rene: Sitting in the home studio, just on the outside of San Francisco.
Chris: Chillin' at home in the bay area.
ACT:LIVE: I know you guys are brewing a heavy storm in the Drum and Bass (DnB) world, I'll get to that, but where are you guys from?
Rene: Originally born in New Zealand, then grew up in England. I mostly lived in the London area before moving out to San Francisco about seven years ago.
Chris: I was born in Southampton England, then moved to San Francisco ten years ago.
ACT:LIVE: What's the history of the relationship and chemistry between the two of you?
Rene: What chemistry? lol .... We actually met each other out here in San Francisco while working together. At the time I was heavy into production, while Chris had more of a DJ background. Both of us had a passion for electronic music, especially the DnB scene, and that's how it all began really ... we just combined our talents in the hope that something good would come out of it.
Chris: We met about seven years ago. I was DJ'ing a lot at the time and wanted to start producing, Rene was already choppin' beats by this time..so after a few beers we decided.. I'd teach Rene the basics of mixing and Rene would teach me the basics of producing...and it was born.
ACT:LIVE: What did you do previously?
Rene: Well prior to meeting Chris I was studying out in the UK for my music/media degree. I've still got the day job (highly unlikely I'd ever go full-time into the music biz just because of financial reasons), but there's a nice balance now between both.
Chris: A lot of promoting and running a DnB record shop in Southampton.
ACT:LIVE: What inspires the creations?
Rene: Typically the music making happens in very compact space of time, ie: We'll both go away or be listening to all kinds of styles of music and keep an ear out for any good samples or production styles that we like ... and then usually there just comes a point after a few months of listening that we'll get the bug to produce again, and that's when we combine all the ideas from what we've been listening to over the year. As far as actual songs though, typically it revolves around a sample or a chord progression ... I guess we just have an ear now for whether something will work or not.
Chris: It does revolve around a solid sample or chord progression, but also the samples we choose or the chords we use are a lot of the time related directly to the mood we're in and just whats going on in our lives at that point.
ACT:LIVE: What are your musical tastes?
Rene: Similar to what I stated above, they're always changing, always developing. At the time of the last album I was listening to a lot of soul, indie and down tempo. Recently I've been listening to a lot of jazz standards, African acid, techno and classical. Certain bands are always firm favorites for me though like Avalanches, Lemon Jelly, Marvin Gaye, Frank Sinatra, Portishead.
Chris: I listen to everything. I'm into a lot down tempo stuff right now, soul, dubstep and dancehall.
ACT:LIVE:Did you have any formal schooling or instrumental background?
Rene: Yeah I was brought up as a classically trained pianist and then got into the whole improvisation thing, often playing whatever I felt like at that particular moment, and as I said, I went to college for music, but funnily enough I don't think it really played any influence on how we make our tracks. The piano playing part definitely helped, but as far as educational theory and all that, it's such a different world when it comes to producing electronic music ... people basically throw the rulebook out and that's where some of the most creative tension comes in.
Chris: I've not had any formal music training. Music has always been a big part of my life.
ACT:LIVE: So where do you get out and do your thing at in San Fran?
Rene: The San Francisco scene is like a family, people come and go but there's a core group of people who put their heart and soul into making events happen. There's definitely certain DnB spots such as Compression, SF Underground and Anu. Then outside of that genre we're lucky, because a large roster of talent tends to come through town to places like Mighty, Mezzanine, Fillmore etc.
Chris: I think we've played all of the weekly and monthly events in San Francisco. The dnb scene in the bay area has so many people putting their time and energy into it. People here do it for the love of the music, and its great to be apart of that.
ACT:LIVE: Anything you'd like to share about San Fran on the topic of music?
Rene: Dubstep is huge over here at the moment, to the point that it's probably taken a lot of people away from drum n bass .. but when I talk to people about why they're more into that now, it's because they were getting bored with the same familiar sound that was being put out. Ironically when they hear some of the stuff we play, it's refreshing to them and you find they actually had no idea there were all these other styles of DnB being made. I think that's a good thing ... no genre can ever be top dog over a period of time if they keep producing the same stuff over and over. So that's where we are now, trying to bring in other influences and change the definition of what DnB can be.
ACT:LIVE: Ever heard of Mr. Lexicon?
Rene: No ... should I have?
Chris: No.
ACT:LIVE: (laughs) No, you shouldn't have necessarily heard of them. I was out in San Fran a little while ago and they were this hip-hop group with this gimmick of being foreign rappers from some "Slavic" country. A buddy of mine is their DJ.
ACT:LIVE: Traveling much?
Rene: We've definitely been traveling a lot recently .. mostly just to shows in the USA and I was recently in Europe doing some promotion, but I have to say this will probably the last of the shows for a while as we're itching to get back into production for a few months.
Chris: We've been doing a lot of shows recently, but are now ready for the studio.
ACT:LIVE: If overseas, what's the ratio of gigs between home and abroad?
Rene & Chris: Definitely more around home than abroad, but that's always a cost issue. It's probably like 5 to 1, we're expecting to go back to Europe in 2009 though and might do a short tour then.
ACT:LIVE: So, good god you held on to #1 on BeatPort.com's DnB chart for how many weeks?
Rene & Chris: Christ we didn't actually realize it was still number 1! It's been really surprising the success we've had recently and we definitely don't take it for granted. To be honest we didn't know what to expect, distributors first said they weren't going to pick up the album because it wasn't "dance floor" enough, but the label took a chance on us anyways. Next thing you know it's the fifth most downloaded album of all time, Strings Track had been on Beatport #1 for 4 weeks and didn't seem to be slowing and Song For Lovers had a whopping nine weeks at #1 with over 20,000 plays on YouTube.
Needless to say, we're chuffed and pleased to see that there is an audience that really really wanted this style of electronic music.
ACT:LIVE: What was going on with you guys as the album starting breaking?
Rene: It was amazing how long the album took to finish, even just small stuff like pressing, promotion etc. and that's before it's even out! So after it came out we took a bit of a break and really it's been a lot of word of mouth and a gradual build that's kept the album in the top tens for so long. Next thing you know, while we thought we were relatively unknown, turned out everyone was talking.
Chris: Yeah, by the time the album came out we'd already started getting ideas together for the next one;)
ACT:LIVE: Who is working with you guys to distribute the album?
Rene: Distribution is done by Horizons Music and ST Holdings in the UK. I wish there was more time to do interviews and stuff like this to be honest, I love doing it.
ACT:LIVE: Have you been to New York before? Rochester?
Rene: Well I was in NYC playing downtown last September ... I loved the energy of NYC.
Chris: No I've never been to Rochester. I'm really looking forward to coming though.
ACT:LIVE: Know anything about Rochester?
Rene: I'm waiting for the full report from Chris. :)
Chris: Its 3 hours from Niagara falls. ;)
ACT:LIVE: Well, the NYS, DnB crews will all be in house next week for the gig and are excited. Anything you want to say, shout out, drop, plug....?
Rene & Chris: Just a thanks to everyone for the continued support, we wouldn't be doing it if people weren't listening to it (ok, maybe we would).
But really, we always try and give everything our all and just hope that people let loose, dance and have a fuckin' great time. Shouts to Dave Schinman and the Secret Night Of Science guys in NYC, keep an eye out for the upcoming Song For Lovers music video that's being shot right now and as always ... if anyone wants to get in touch, drop us a line www.bachelorsofscience.com.
I'd like to thank Chris and Rene for answering some questions and keeping it real.
These guys seem like some cool dudes and I can't wait to get down and have some fun this weekend.
I encourage everyone to get out and pick up their new disc, "Science Fiction".
I have always been a fan of Drum and Bass, especially some of the harder material, but these guys are a refreshing taste in the sea of the same old that circulates in the electronic world. The "Song For Lovers" single is a perfect example of that.
See you Friday kiddies. Peace.

Thanks For The Memories: Midtown Plaza 1962-2008

werd: james niche
It was a sad morning for me downtown, today. I'm going to miss this plaza.
I don't really know where to begin with this, but I love that mall and all of downtown. I have spent most of my life in this city and that place holds so many memories.
As a child, my mother and I would go shopping there quite often. In fact, she was a teenager when it opened, and she would spend every Saturday there with my grandmother and great aunt. Most likely spending the afternoon window shopping for the latest fashions at B. Forman Co., McCurdy's or Sibley's. Maybe they would go up to the jeweler's and imagine the necklace in the window around their necks.
For me, as a child my mother taught nursing at the E.O.C. center on Pleasant St., just around the corner. Days when I would be with her while she was working, we would go over to the plaza after work and grab something to eat or maybe pick up some groceries at Wegman's. Remember, Wegman's used to be in there at one point.
If it wasn't days with my mother after work, it would be around the beautiful snow filled holidays, when Santa's Magic Mountain would arise from the ground floor of the plaza.
A magical place where children of all colors and races would join to get their picture taken with Santa or maybe go for a cruise on the monorail. My favorite part was always traveling through the tunnel of the mountain in the monorail. As I look back, I don't know how my mother ever fit in that rail car with me, or any adult for that matter. I still have my pictures with Santa on that magical mountain.
As a teenager, I had moved out of the city for a while, so my travels to midtown were not as frequent. Travels for most to the plaza were not as frequent because all of the stores we had come to love and rely on had closed or been moved out.
But, in my early twenties I came back. I had spent about a year working at Midtown Tobacco, helping a friend at the time manage his store. I also worked part-time at Record Theatre. That was great at the time because vinyl was becoming more scarce around the city and I could always get great deals on the newest vinyl single, back when I was DJing.
As an employee there, the relationship between me and the building grew a bit more intimate. I would get to explore the inner depths of this building, flaws and all. I also became a favorite for the regular customers of the mall and made many friends while there. Many friends I still see around downtown to this day.
As businesses closed down over the past ten years and the suburban malls grew, suburbanites and city folk alike, did nothing but trash talk the mall.
They would say..."I'm not going there, I don't want to get shot."...or, "That place is ghetto." That was a stab deep into my heart. It disgusted me, the image that was portrayed throughout the suburbs and city.
That mall has been a tremendous asset to our inner city. It provided a great service to our elderly, handicapped and poor. It was a place that you could take the bus to, didn't cost a fortune and it was a one stop place to go. It was needed for those who ride the bus and can't make it all the way out to Eastview Mall or Greece Ridge Center.
I have always been a man of the city and of the streets, so for me it was always a pleasure to see my fellow citizens of the streets down there. A place to say hi, have some coffee in the food court, catch up and just be a part of the community. You don't get that connection driving out to Eastview Mall.
A memory I will always take with me is having lunch with Mr. Charles Garfield. A few years ago, just before Christmas, I noticed this man seemingly very hungry and mentally handicapped. He was not homeless, but extremely poor and very mentally ill. I had just come from an interview and saw him scrounging through the garbage cans for food. Others nearby were mocking him and this hurt me seeing this.
I don't normally do this, but I bought him lunch at Burger King. Me, in my suit and tie, he in his tattered clothing. We walked through the line together, he picked what he wanted, and we ate together. Another mentally handicapped man whom I have seen also around town, harmless as well, saw this and decided to join us. Others around us looked at us strangely, but hopefully I inspired someone that afternoon.
I hope Mr. Garfield is doing better today, I really enjoyed his company that afternoon and the company of his friend.
That is exactly what I love about downtown and the diversity of our city. The races, the colors, the music, the poor, the real heart of our community.
I could keep going on and on and on, but I think I will have to end this here. I had a big lump in my throat passing through the halls of midtown today.
I'm going to miss you so much, Midtown Plaza. Thank you so much for the memories.
There is a spot at the bottom of each article I write for comments, in case you didn't realize. I would really like it if you could all leave me comments of your memories at Midtown Plaza. That would really make my day. Thanks.
I leave you with a really cool, vintage promo video for Midtown Plaza that gives you a look back to when construction began and when it opened, enjoy. Hopefully, I'll see you all Friday at the closing. Peace Kiddies...

Bread and Water Theatre: My Gay Family & The Crochet Penis (Celebrating Pride Week)
werd: james niche
This past Friday I went down to the New Life Presbyterian Church on Rosedale St., to sit in on the Bread and Water Theatre's production of "My Gay Family" and "The Crochet Penis".
I wanted to make sure that I took some time to not only raise a bit of awareness to Gay Pride Week, but also give a bit of attention to another small group of actors here in our great city of arts.
Between the dates of July 20th and July 30th, there are many activities and events being held in honor of gay pride and celebration, this is just one of the many.
You won't hear much on the news or in the newspapers about Pride Week. Sure, there might be the little mention here and there in a publication or two, but when it comes down to it - no one wants to talk about sex in the mainstream media.
Pride week isn't just about sex, it's a celebration of a lifestyle that has been given a horrible name through mainstream media because of mainstream religious beliefs and the media outlets who are sponsored by companies supporting business as usual.
ACT:LIVE is for the city. And, Rochester has a large gay population. A population that votes, works, plays, eats, sleeps and lives just as the rest of us "heteros". I tip my hat to those working hard in the gay community to support their lifestyle and choices.
Now, back to The Bread and Water Theatre....
Let's start at the beginning.
Bread and Water Theatre was founded as a non-profit organization in 2000 by a bright young man named J.R. Teeter, while attending Nazareth College. I was greeted by J.R. and the associate director Carl Girard. Both gentlemen were a pleasure to talk to, very talented and are working very hard on a shoe-string budget to see this group succeed.
The Bread and Water Theatre name is derived from the idea of thinking simple. However, the material and approach of the group is far from simple. The writings, ideas and performances are thoughtful and deliberate.
The plays, "My Gay Family" and "The Crochet Penis", were written by Nancy Agabian . Nancy is an Armenian born poet, writer and actress now living in New York City; teaching at Queens College.
Both plays are based on poems and writings of Nancy's while she was a young woman in her mid-twenties, struggling to find her identity as a lesbian or bi-sexual.
"My Gay Family" is performed solo by Gina Menzer-Kunz. The play is set in her house as she speaks to the audience and to her mother. The set is comprised of many chairs strewn about the house, which are later used as symbolic props for the duration. It's an emotional tour through Nancy's mind as she struggles to find her place in a family of homosexual siblings and homophobic parents, altogether, encompassing the entire spectrum of gayness.
"The Crochet Penis" is performed by Tiffany Widrick. This play is another solo performance shedding light on Nancy's struggle to find her sexuality and her struggle to convey that to others. The duration of the play she talks to the audience in her pajamas, while crocheting a penis made of yarn; only to be unraveled in the end.
Here is a video from YouTube on crocheting a miniature stocking. You could easily make your own miniature penis from these instructions. (no one likes a mini-penis though.)
Apparently, the posters for these shows were posted on Monroe Ave. for promotion, but when some of the area merchants and residents saw the word penis (a biological term) on the bill, they had a fit. J.R. was then asked to take the posters down!!
So, Monroe Ave. merchants and residents...this is to you. You can let drugs, bums, hookers and all trash alike onto your street, not clean it up and not do a damn thing, but because you see the word "penis" on a poster, you attack? Shame on you. You are contributing to the possible failure of a great event and production in this city. You are contributing to the problem and not working on any type of solution.
Have you not noticed that we are losing venues and performing arts groups in this city one by one?! Is anyone noticing this?!
Comix Cafe: gone
RAPA: gone
Shipping Dock Theatre: barely alive
Penny Arcade: who knows
And that's just a few.
Who knows who is to blame, but do not attack our arts. We are a city that has always thrived on the arts and festivals alike.
The plays were touching, metaphoric explorations into the mind of a young woman finding her identity. They were not penis parades that were going to invade your home and kidnap your children.
I found it very interesting that the venue for these plays is the New Life Church on Rosedale St. That's right, a church. A beautiful space as well. It gives me ideas for events in the future. There is a good sized theatre attached to the church that could easily hold a 200 person capacity.
Bread and Water Theatre has helped to revive the Rainbow Theatre productions since 2004. The Rainbow Theatre productions are plays inspired by the themes of the Pride Flag. Here is a little bit of info I have learned about the Pride Flag and it's history, enjoy.
"Color has long played an important role in our community's expression of pride. In Victorian England, for example, the color green was associated with homosexuality. The color purple (or more accurately, lavender) became popularized as a symbol for pride in the late 1960's; a frequent post-Stonewall catch word for the gay community was "Purple Power". And, of course, there's the pink triangle. Although it was first used in Nazi Germany to identify gay males in concentration camps, the pink triangle only received widespread use as a gay pop icon in the early 1980's. But, the most colorful of our symbols is the Rainbow Flag and it's rainbow of colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple - representing the diversity of our community.
The first Rainbow Flag was designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, a San Francisco artist, who created the flag in response to a local activist's call for a community symbol. Using the five-striped "Flag of the Race" as his inspiration, Baker designed a flag with eight stripes: pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. According to Baker, those colors represented, respectively: sexuality, life, healing, sun, nature, art, harmony and spirit. In the true spirit of Betsy Ross, Baker dyed and sewed the material for the first flag himself.
Baker soon approached San Francisco's Paramount Flag Company about mass producing and selling his "gay flag". Unfortunately, Baker had hand dyed all the colors, and since the color "hot pink" was not commercially available, mass production of his eight striped version became impossible. The flag was thus reduced to seven stripes.
In November 1978, San Francisco's gay community was stunned when the city's first openly gay supervisor, Harvey Milk, was assassinated. Wishing to demonstrate the gay community's strength and solidarity in the aftermath of this tragedy, the 1979 Pride Parade Committee decided to use Baker's flag. The committee eliminated the indigo stripe so they could divide the colors evenly along the parade route - three colors on one side of the street and three on the other. Soon, the six colors were incorporated into a six-striped version that became popularized and that, today, is recognized by the International Congress of Flag Makers."
All in all, Bread and Water Theatre is a company worth checking out. They also have ties to The Method Machine, a production company located on South Ave. in the South Wedge. I will also be checking them out in the coming months.
I have grown up around many of the performing arts here in the city and urge you all to take a step away from the bar occasionally and get a seat in these theatres.
The great thing about these theatres is that they are always bringing something fresh to the stage. And what I mean is, places like Geva and Downstairs Cabaret are great to go to, but their productions are typically ones that have done well in other markets on or off Broadway. Bread and Water, The Method Machine take a little more risk by approaching plays that are brand new to the general public.
You can check out all of the places and people I have mentioned by clicking on the links provided.
I would like to thank J.R., Carl and everyone involved for working so hard and staying determined in their art.
Get out there and keep these places alive, Rochester.
I'll see you on the streets kiddies....

Back To Basics: Talkin' 'Bout Hip-Hop July 19th
werd: james niche
This Saturday, July 19th, is the showdown folks. Tim Tones has put together a local hip-hop showcase comprised of not only local talent, but he has also brought in the talent of E.B.B. & F.L.O.W.(Crystal Springs, MS / Boston, MA), pictured below.
E.B.B. & F.L.O.W. have a new album entitled "This Is Not A MixTape". The title makes sense, in this era of the mixtape onslaught to consumers.
The duo is made up of Demo (Boston, MA) and PyInfamous (Crystal Springs, MS).
PyInfamous made an appearance a few months ago at the Bug jar, some of you may have caught that.
The music can be described as progressive hip-hop, but in English, translates as: When they perform, there's lots of room for putting your hands to the sky, sippin' a drink and singing along to the party.
You can purchase their new album online for the low price of $5. Damn, that's nothing, so pick it up. You can also find out more about these guys on their MySpace page, linked up where you see their name at the beginning of this article.
The Soul Slingers, the group for which the showdown was named, are also going to be performing this Saturday as well.
The Soul Slingers duo is Tim Tones, long time Rochester hip-hop DJ and producer, along with RICRUDE, long time Rochester MC. And people, when I say MC, I mean just that. This dude is a MASTER of ceremonies. Known well for his work with Filthy Funk, RICRUDE is not only a talented lyricist, but can truly shake a crowd.
Soul Slingers have been working hard on their latest CD release.
You can pick up the new disc at the show because everyone that comes and pays their five bucks to get in, gets a CD.
The new disc is going to feature fresh lyrical content from RICRUDE, new beats from Tim Tones and some interesting turntablism sets as well. I personally can't wait to hear it.
Along with these fellas is, ACT:LIVE artist, Reece Q(uotable)
Reece Q is performing live with the talent of DJ NUGZ (GOONIES crew) and Sam.I.Am.. Both of these guys have been an integral part of production on Reece's debut CD, "Quote To Self", which is scheduled for an August 23rd release date.
Reece Q stands for the difference between commercial bullshit rapping and what's really real in creativity and talent.
Reece Q's beat styles are definitely jazz influenced, but he also strays into the abstract with some of the new tracks. This is an MC with a large musical knowledge, original writing style and fun presence. Be sure to check this cat out.
For you beat junkies...DJ NUGZ and Sam.I.Am will also be performing a beat showcase to start the evening off right.
For those of you that don't know, The GOONIES and Sam.I.Am. are some uber talented producers that have been working so hard over the past 2 year to develop their sound and are doing it just right. Take note that these guys are barely 21, at the rate they are moving they'll be a strong force to contend with in the future.
There's so much talent in this town and these guys are right in the thick of it. If you're into hip-hop then don't let these guys pass you by, you need to check out their pages. Just click on the links provided.
Also, newcomer to us, MC M Dot Coop. He is a Rochester native and hip-hop MC. This dude's been showing some real promise and has the gift of gab for sure. He'll be performing a set as well.
To end the night is Tim Tones, Fresh Fingaz and CROOK (FUA). Tim and Fresh will be performing a turntablist set, while CROOK drums along.
This show is just the beginning of a new era of hip-hop in this city, in my opinion. Hip-hop containing all the elements is what we're spreading. DJs, MCs, graffiti, art, creativity and fun are the fundamentals of the hip-hop culture.
ACT:LIVE, along with the strong support of others in the music community, is going to be a strong supporter and provider of more events intertwining art and music in the future.
Hip-hop isn't just baggy pants, fitted hats, bitches, bottles or cash.
Some of you might get that, but what's being laminated onto the brains of the young people, concert-goers and now club owners, is a picture so far from the roots. It's an image that's even further from the reality of the local scene.
ACT:LIVE urges you to pay attention, show support, get off your ass, put down the PS3 controller, call your boyfriend/girlfriend back later, tell your boss you got a show to get to and come see us.
Come have some fun this Saturday July 19th at High Fidelity (the old Milestones, 170 East Ave., downtown).
Show begins promptly at 9pm. $5 over, $8 under and that also gets you the new Soul Slingers CD.
And when you come, tell Joe at Hi-Fi you want to see more hip-hop at the venue.
Peace kiddies...

This past Saturday night, Dade's Planner and ACT:LIVE brought you DJ HeavyGrinder (Los Angeles, Rhythm Club Records).
Not only is she beautiful, but she rocked that joint hard. Judging by the crowd reaction and the photos, it looked like everyone had a blast!
Everyone needs to thank Earl at Dade's Planner, John (proprietor of PEARL), Tim for working the door, Reece Q for keeping it drunk, Derek and all the girls at 2112 Clothing, as well as all the regulars and friends of ACT:LIVE who came down and showed support.

This coming weekend, July 19th to be exact, there's a party Tim Tones has put together at High Fidelity featuring The Soul Slingers, M Dot Coop, The GOONIES, Sam.I.Am, EBB & FLOW and ACT:LIVE artist, Reece Q(uotable).
Tim Tones and RICRUDE are the arms and legs of the Soul Slingers and they have a new mix album out. They are releasing that disc at the show for you to pick up. You pay $5 to get in and you get the album included.
If you dig hip-hop in this city, this is going to be an important show for you not to miss. For those of you not familiar with these artists, this isn't mumble into the mic hip-hop. This show is a collaboration of talented, partyin', beer drinkin', skateboarding and hell raising DJs/MC's/Producers.
Be sure to stop down to High Fidelity, this Saturday the 19th and show some support for some men in hip-hop making some moves here in Rochester. Till then, enjoy the pics.

My blog turns three today! Usually, I pour myself a glass of beer (specifically Lost Coast's Downtown Brown) and reflect on life in general (typical blog fare around here). This time around, however, I will pour myself a homemade root beer and reflect on the craft breweries we visited (and a couple that we didn't) during our most recent travels.
– –
We contacted someone over at Duck-Rabbit Brewery hoping to visit them during our two-week stay in North Carolina, but they only do tours on Fridays and we were only near them on Saturdays. Thankfully, Duck-Rabbit is distributed in our area so we'll just make do with whatever bottles we can find in our grocery store. If you aren't already aware of Duck-Rabbit, just know that their milk stout makes a really good ice cream float.
We later stumbled upon not one but two amazing brew pubs: Front Street Brewery in Wilmington, NC and Full Moon Café and Brewery in Manteo, NC.
Of course, I couldn't sample any of the beers, but I can tell you that Okey was very much impressed with the Front Street Brewery and the creativity of the young brewer. He seemed to like the Brett style beer which he described to me as being like a lambic ale having been made with a wild yeast. Okey returned with two friends and three growlers later in the week, and everyone was very happy with the tour of the brewery with the brewer himself. He said that he is going to keep an eye on how well this brewery does at the Great American Beer Festival later this year.
Okey didn't get to sample much at the crowded Full Moon, but he was very pleased to read that they specialized in British and Irish style ales… much like him.
We also noted the local Weeping Radish whose beer we had seen listed at several restaurants. We then passed an establishment called Brewery, Butchery & Pub (which upon further research at home is linked to the Weeping Radish somehow). Should we return to the North Carolina coast, we will see if we can squeeze that into our trip.

Positive thinking
By Susanne Ault
When the economy is slumping, one could hardly blame TV executives who haven't determined whom they're sending to Miami Beach for next month's Promax/BDA conference.
But the organization, which caters to broadcast promotional and design professionals, doesn't seem fazed by the fact that the Fox, Sinclair, NBC, ABC, Paramount and Tribune station groups aren't expected to attend the event in large numbers.
Promax/BDA likewise isn't concerned that both Paramount and King World, which together have traditionally constituted a huge conference presence, won't be holding large marketing sessions this year for their shows.
Also, Warner Bros. is planning to host a smaller hospitality suite than in years past. Twentieth Television won't be throwing a party for its clients like it did in 2000. Universal, which last year gave a Blind Date
workshop, won't be going at all. The same goes for Tribune Entertainment. There's also NBC Enterprises, which will be overseeing its own Internet-delivered marketing workshop separate from Promax/BDA. Only Pearson Television, hyping its upcoming Card Sharks, will be going with the same force as last year.
You'd think that kind of fall-off would hurt.
"These are challenging times for everybody in this industry," says Promax/BDA CEO Glynn Brailsford. However, "there is a general misunderstanding about the role of local stations and syndication in the overall picture of Promax/BDA," with the U.S. station/syndication community "only really occupying 10% to 15% of conference activity."
And to be downright cheery, while some syndicators and station groups may be taking a vacation from Promax, the down advertising market may be good for promoting syndicated products.
"What has happened is that stations can't sell all the time to advertisers, so they've got more time to promote our shows," says one top-level syndication executive.
That means syndicators don't have to put the usual pressure on stations to invest their money promoting syndicated series. The current ad market may not give stations much choice but to do what syndicators want.
Brailsford contends that technology firms such as Quantel, Macromedia and Adobe have been a heftier force at the convention over the years and, if anything, are stepping up their presence this year. The collapse of major design firm Pittard Sullivan led competitors to eye June's Promax/BDA as an opportunity to grab more clients.
Also, says Brailsford, international folks, eager to capitalize on U.S. fever for foreign formats like Survivor, have upped their numbers at the event by about 10%, "making up for any shortfalls."
Overall, he says, Promax/BDA in Miami should attract 4,000 attendees, the same levels as last year. But the current soft ad market, leading to TV's financial blues, could make for some slow action there.
The reduction should be temporary, say some. King World advertising and promotion chief Delilah Loud says her studio had "to look at the bottom line" in deciding to limit its presence, but she believes Promax/ BDA will stay important because "we really need to hear the voice" of station promotion execs, "and not just by phone."

Land-based education joins science and Indigenous thought
Originally published in the Maskwacis Drum magazine September 2018 issue.
Derek Bruno and Marsha Shack were unaware that an idea sparked over coffee would come to fruition. Yet, only a few months later, they submitted a proposal to have their organization, WIN EcoSciences, facilitate and coordinate a permaculture program at Ermineskin High School.
"To me, it took shape when Marsha taught me about permaculture. I began to realize that it was all related to how First Nations people talk about getting back to the land and reconnecting with our culture," said Bruno, CEO of WIN EcoSciences. "It's a necessary bridge to bring us back into our landscapes."
The program started with a big idea to run a tiny home build over four years. Shack, COO of WIN EcoSciences explained that "we took the opportunity to pilot a small part, the Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC), and follow up with more projects later."
Shack, a permaculture designer herself, had been in contact with Scott Hall, the food program teacher and coordinator at Ermineskin High School, as he was interested in doing a project around growing food. "WIN EcoSciences was formed out of the desire to teach people to grow their own food and to address food sovereignty issues in First Nations communities."
Bruno explained that as an Indigenous lead land-based education organization, WIN EcoSciences' name is inspired by the Cree value system.
"The end of every Cree value has "win" in it – Wahkohtowin, Sahkohtowin – we wanted a name that encompassed both cultural and environmental aspects," said Bruno. "It's more than just science; we are regenerative and eco-focused."
Bruno said that PDC programs are based on traditional thought and philosophy, so it's a way to get back to the land in a different way. "We feel and work with and observe Mother Earth at our fingertips and create connections. Then, we can see the abundance that Mother Earth will provide for us."
Shack said that "permaculture allows us to see the natural cycles of Mother Earth and it gives us a new perspective on our lives and how the same forces govern us."
Maskwacis experiences challenges with high poverty rates and difficult socio-economic conditions. "There's no reason for people to go hungry when we have all of this amazing soil to work with," said Bruno. "All we need to do is get the information to the people in a way that will show that they can have the kind of yields to sustain themselves as individuals and as families."
Over the course of three weeks in June 2018, twenty participants learned about organic gardening, sustainable growing, food forestry, edible landscape design, and water harvesting. The PDC offered skills, knowledge and tools to strengthen relationships with the land and create productive systems for living.
Permaculture teacher Kenton Zerbin describes permaculture as designing humans back into their landscapes both physically and socially.
"We're doing a lot of damage, and we're useless when it comes to living on this earth," said Zerbin. "We need to look at how to harmonize with nature. If we understand the sun, water, and nutrients – things that all life depends on – then we can create systems of abundance that allow us to thrive within our ecosystem."
Throughout the course, which gained participants internationally recognized certification, the group started the construction of a permaculture landscape design for Ermineskin in partnership with Scott Hall and the Maskwacis Education School Commission (MESC). Zerbin created the design to fit with the needs of the school and surrounding area.
"I designed a system with nutrient-dense food, low maintenance, and water resiliency, to support Scott Hall's desire to have local food in his programs," said Zerbin. "It's strategically designed for the school and community to use, with different plants fruiting at different times of the year."
The food forest will yield a significant amount of food; goodland apples, ure pears, chokecherries, saskatoon berries, raspberries, goji berries, seabuckthorn berries, currants, and more. The garden beds will host a variety of vegetables and herbs.
"The PDC allowed us to work with Ermineskin and MESC to train individuals, create edible spaces together and to provide individuals with skill sets to empower them to do community and earth repair."
Zerbin said the experience was empowering because he didn't have to convince anyone it was a good idea. "These skills overlap with Indigenous heritage and worldviews, making it a marvellous opportunity to work together."
Shack said that the program has been successful. "From the perspective of the participants, it means something to have work in the community that they can point to and say, 'I did that,'" said Shack.
Shack believes that permaculture gives people in Maskwacis something to believe in. "Just a few weeks ago, a participant said to me as we gazed upon a lush garden bed, 'look, we did something good.'" Shack explained that giving a community that exists in a constant state of grief something to look to, "provides a beacon of hope."
As Bruno described, "permaculture is seven-generation thinking in action – it's about planting a tree and realizing you may never see the direct benefits."

HOLLYWOOD (Perfect Music Today) 8/5/17/–I had a fun meeting with Angelyne. We asked each other questions, and we talked a lot about photography, music, film, the arts, and other stuff. For me, Angelyne will always be Angelyne.
She was wearing soft lambskin like driving gloves while we drove around Hollywood in her cool pink 2016 Corvette. I asked her "What year is your previous Corvette?" "2008" she said. We listened to her song Kiss Me L.A. She said it was played a lot on KROQ.
Angelyne said she was influenced by Jim Morrison's singing. We also listened to some of my music and she asked me "what instrument do you write on?" "Guitar," I said, "and I'm also writing now on piano too."
Sexy Stranger was her next song we listened to. Then we listened to her song Blue High Heel Shoes, which she said is her answer to Blue Suede Shoes. In her song Draculove she drives a stake through the guy's heart.
She did a cover of the Elvis Presley song Teddy Bear. She said she liked when Elvis sang the song Sweet Angeline. I told Angelyne her sound reminds me of Blondie. Angelyne said Debbie Harry is so sweet, and that Debbie bought a t-shirt from her.
I asked Angelyne if she has a favorite restaurant and she said "Musso & Frank Grill, Connie and Ted's, and Acapulco." Then as we drove by Hollywood High School she pointed out the mascot is the Sheiks.
She said Bryan Adams is one of her favorite photographers and I told her I photographed Bryan. She asked if I can you do a bunch of pictures at once and I said "Yes, I like a power winder, especially if the subject is moving".
She said she did a painting of Divine for a John Waters film and that Waters interviewed her. I told her I photographed John Waters
Angelyne said I reminded her of Woody Allen. I thanked her and told her that I am a big fan of Woody's and I even got to photograph him. I asked where she grew up and she said "It's a long story."
She asked me if I have had an out of body experience. I said "not yet, have you?" She said she liked to ask that question a lot.

Heya Blogland,
Well Great news on all fronts.
I woke up at 4am, not ideal, but I feel SO much better I woke up feeling just a lot better my chest isn't hurting anymore which is awesome, I've still got a constant headache but that can be dealt with easily with just a bit of Calpol. I'm going to start to wean myself off of the oxygen but if I do start to feel worse for doing so I will go straight back on it. I'll still be using it at night because that does seem to be making a difference but just so pleased to be feeling semi-normal again so woop.
I will still call Hammersmith today at some point and see what they have to say but I have a feeling they'll just tell me to wait till my appointment in January if I'm feeling better unless I get worse dramatically.
But in other news my Cousin had his baby! She was 10 weeks early which was a shock to everyone but she seems to be doing okay, she weighed 3lb 7oz and is still in hospital but I think she'll be fine. They called her Aurora Lily which is just the loveliest name. My cousin didn't actually know Aurora was from sleeping beauty but I think it's just the cutest name, different without being weird, unique and I don't think she'll find anyone with the same name when she goes to school. So pleased for him and I can't wait to meet her :).
Also getting in the Christmas spirit and I bought Michael Bubles' Christmas album which I will be listening to whilst I am doing my essays. Cannot believe how fast this year has gone I feel like I barely got a chance to appreciate being 21 lol.
I think I am officially better, maybe it was just a underlying bug that my body was fighting but wasn't presenting itself in usual forms Hmmmm… I don't know but I am just happy whatever it was it's gone. I did ring up Hammersmith and they told me unless I was feeling horrible still they would just leave it until my appointment in January when I will be having an exercise test, lung function, echo etc. etc. The usual, but if I start to feel awful again that I should ring them immediately.
I would love to just quickly say a massive HI to all my new followers this week; I never expected to get many followers because it really is just an outlet for me, and also a way to raise awareness for my condition and organ donation. I also have quite a few PH friends who read this and it's good for people who are newly diagnosed to read to know what they are going through is normal and they aren't alone. But it's really lovely to know that I'm reaching people.
I've made some enquiries with the organ donation people because I really do want to do some either campaigning or simply getting the word out there, I did some for PH back when I was 16 and that felt so good and maybe I can kill two birds with one stone by raising awareness for PH and organ donation, I don't think it's something that will happen before Christmas but something that will probably happen after Christmas but definitely is something I want to do :)
There is likely going to be a massive haul post soon because I kind of went on a make-up binge last night and bought a few MAC bits and a few Benefit bits and tonne of Barry M nail varnishes so look out for that, if I reach a 100 followers I may even do a give away just to thank you guys :-).
|Picture source
Well today has been spent basically me trying to get my politics essay done which can only be described in one word, Boring! That and sleep. I really should try to not do essays on my bed because I sort off start of really well and then I'll get maybe 30 minutes into it and then my eyes start to shut and then I'm like "Oooo, I'll just take a 10 minute nap" those ten minutes turns into about 4 hours LOL and then I wake up too groggy to do anything and just can't be bothered LOL.
Overall my health seems to be on the up still which I'm more than happy with, still have the headaches but I'm used to them so all I can say is I am thoroughly pleased.
There have been two transplants recently on the Facebook groups I am a part of, which I'm so chuffed to report. One was a little boy who got the heart he has been waiting for and then a lad of similar age to me who got the lungs he had been waiting for. I'm so chuffed to hear of people getting their transplants because before this there was quite a lot of deaths happening within the transplant community because of various different reasons so when I hear people who are actually getting their transplants it gives me hope especially when they have blood group O because those of us with that blood type are in for a LONG wait.
So everything is on the up!
There will definitely be a haul blog soon because my deliveries are starting to arrive I just got my 7 Barry M nail varnishes so woop woop!
Thanks for reading and see you again soon blogland

Mumford & Sons' video for "Hopeless Wanderer" has been blowing up all over the place. That's to be expected when Will Forte, Ed Helms, and Jasons Bateman and Sudeikis portray the suspender-wearin, banjo-playin, Mason-jar-sippin quartet that has risen to fame for being anything but funny. The L.A. Times recently ran an interview with the video's director, Sam Jones, about the shoot, and it's pretty enlightening.
Some tidbits from the piece: All the comedians offered to do the video for free, but worked for SAG scale instead, and the clip was shot on the farm where Dwight and Angela's wedding took place on The Office. Apparently Ed Helms really wanted to be banjo player Winston Marshall because he actually plays the instrument, but he looks more like pianist Ben Lovett, so that happened. Also, the band really wanted the video to be for their hit "Babel," instead of "Hopeless Wanderer," but Jones refused. Will Forte was quite sick during the one-day shoot, rendering his steamy make out scene with Sudeikis a veritable risk. Oh, and the band totally loves the video, because of course they do. Read the whole article here, and fuel future interruptions when showing friends the video for the first time.

Very original movie. Like the main character, the audience will not be sure in the end what is reality and what is a dream.
One of the best movies I've ever seen.
Ooomg its AMAZING. Favourite movie of all time.
simply magical - a fantastic joy ride
Amazing film, seen nothing like it before, a must see!
I have NEVER seen anything like this before in my life. Everything from the storyline (original), to the special effects. Leonardo DiCaprio is getting into more and more serious roles. Inception ia a breath of fresh air in the movie industry. If I could, I would give it 6 stars.
mind blown!!
this is an awesome movie if you have any sort of attention span. put down your cell phone and pay attention to the movie.
it pretty much blew my mind!!!
An excellent movie that did leave us with lots of questions about dreams and reality. And the end of the movie (I won't give it away!) is awesome!
Movie leaves you questiong your own life and the state of your dreams. Amazing from beginning till end.
Fantastic movie!
The idea was dragged out to much, boring by moments especially the last hour
Brilliant film, it is sad to see some people couldn't understand such a simple & straight forward movie. Too bad for them, we definitely enjoyed it VERY MUCH! 5 Stars! Buy it for Christmas!
Absolute garbage-on a par with Moulin Rouge. Way to convoluted but stayed the course hoping it would pull together. It didn't and I couldn't wait for it to end
Totally waste of my money but don't understand what it is talking about. Do not spend the time to see it even it is free. Just wonder where all those 5 stars coming from!!
I love originality; there is not enough of it. I was excited at hearing the concept of this movie; but it was very hard going to follow it; too many scenarios going on with the same group of people, and I literally lost the plot along the way; with having no idea as to why they were breaking into (various) safes in the end. I could not wait for it to finish, and was literally dismayed when I looked to see how long I had to go before it did, and it was only half way. The acting is very good, as you would expect, the cinematography excellent, but in terms of plot, highly confusing and I don't like my hand held by any means. The ending was entirely predictable if you did manage to follow wh
I loved this movie! Really makes you think! Leonardo does a wonderful job. I added this one to my liabrary
Absolutely Amazing!!! Christopher Nolan is a fantastic director. The entire cast gave outstanding performances!!!
absolutly amazing movie, of course a bit confusing at the beginning with the whole dreaming layout, but it explains itself throughout the movie. love the suspence.
Fantastic movie!!! I loved the twists and turns. A thrilling movie that I can't wait to watch again.
Best movie ever made, definitely an under-rated film based on the ratings here~
it was ok but very confusing
This movie was amazing! It challenges the viewer to keep up with what's going on because if you miss one little part, you'll miss the whole thing. Go watch this!!!
was a really good movie, kept me interested, would definitely see it again! gotta love leo! but will say this definitely should have seen it 3d!
Brilliant movie...well written, well acted. It captivates and intrigues! Well worth watching again and again!
great effects good acting interesting story
Love Leo!
Amazing, edge of your seat ride. The mind is an amazing tool. Well worth the price of admission!
I loved this movie. It had an unusual concept and wasn't another remake! Someone used their imagination for a change.
Very well done....enjoyed every minute!!!way to go Leonardo!!
Really good movie...keeps you thinking.
This movie keeps you on your toes and you never know what's coming!
Brilliant. Fantastic.
Best movie of the decade!
Even you spent all your money to see this movie again and again, I BET you that you have no idea of what it is talking about. Just waste your money only.
FANTASTIC....I love going to the movies and being completely blown-away with something I've never seen before - this is it!!
Deep thought provoking movie.
Deep on many levels.
Really complex movie...I really liked it. Definitely worth watching.
Good acting, great effects moderate storyline...
Loved it
Loved it. The visuals were amazing, and it definitely keeps you interested. Great cast as well. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
A summer action flick for intelligent viewers. Great special elfflects, a layered script, good performances and direction.
Very interesting concept, one of the deeper movies in the last couple of years.
One of the most over hyped movies in a long time. Some very nice visual effects in a few scenes but not enough to carry the 2+ hours of weak storyline. There is nothing to make you want to connect to or really care about what happens to the characters, nor is there some grand revelation at the end that makes want to to step back and reflect on what happened. 1 star
This movie was smart and executed perfectly. Christopher Nowlan really mastered the pacing of the film, everything unfolded just right. Best movie of 2010 so far. Watch it... Then re watch it for a whole new experience. Oh, and how good is Joseph Gordon-Levitt?! He is going to be someone to watch out for. Amazing performances through out this film.
