Brooklyn Babylon, performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music by Darcy James Argue's Secret Society in collaboration with graphic novelist Danijel Zezelj featured live music, animation, and live painting. The show open with music played by musicians dressed like street urchins from Elizabethan England. They performed a number, which was followed by Danijel Zezelj appearing on a platform in the background. He went to the center of this platform, picked up a roller and began painting. A few minutes after he started, a screen came down between him and the audience and animations started to play on it. These animations told a story of the building of the Tower of Brooklyn which was to be the tallest tower in the world. [Read more…]

Blue Man Group @ Astor Place Theater
Three men dressed in black with their faces painted blue, making music, creating art, and poking fun at contemporary media all the while being completely silent. These were my lasting impressions of the Blue Man Group performance created by Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton, and Chris Wink that has been taken place in Astor Place Theater for years. Though it was a silent performance with the only noise coming from the laughter of the audience, it did not hinder the overall comedy that was the basis of the performance. [Read more…]
Rez Abbasi's Invocation at Jazz Standard
"I'm having a brain…you know," sighed guitarist Rez Abbasi, out of breath and close to speechless after a full-throttle rendition of "Onus on Us". After such a wildly evolving piece, a bit of brain freeze is understandable – perhaps even inevitable. Under the band name Invocation, Abbasi's five-member powerhouse took the Jazz Standard by a storm in a CD release concert for the new album Sonu Sonu, echoing a soul-drenched heartiness truly akin to invocative prayer.
Maple and Vine at Playwrights Horizons
Stop. Take a breath… relax. The frenetic pace of modern American life is overwhelming. Nostalgia for a simpler, happier time is rampant in today's megalomaniacal society. Jordan Harrison's "Maple and Vine," directed by Anne Kaufman at Playwrights Horizons follows a young married couple—Katha and Ryu (Marin Ireland and Peter Kim, respectively) who abandon the hustle and bustle of the 21st century for life in a gated community whose residents immerse themselves in a 1955 middle-class American mindset and lifestyle. "Maple and Vine's" satirical depiction of the 'wholesome' 1950s routine reminds the audience (the vast majority of whom appeared to have been alive during the '50s) we romanticize the past much too readily, choosing to forget the less-attractive, less-accepting aspects of previous epochs.

Why I Love Wednesday Night
Friday and Saturday night's used to be my two favorite week nights, Those were the two nights I would let loose and party like a rock star. Then along came Wednesday night.However, recently I have found that Wednesday night is quickly becoming my favorite night of the week.
Once my belly is full the party moves over to bike night at Buca's for live music, maybe a game of pool, and of course a few more beverages.

Would the treatments of photofacials hurt my wife's skin?
Photofacials with Asian Skin
Doctor Answers 5
It is difficult to answer this question without seeing your wife's skin type in person. I advise that you go to a reputable clinic for evaluation prior to doing any treatment.
If done correctly, a photofacial can be beneficial, but done incorrectly, could cause a pigment problem for months or longer.

Better Options than IPL for Laser Facial Treatments
If the term you are referring to "photofacial" is equated with "IPL" then we are not big fans. While IPL is a jack of all trades, it is master of none. Coming from an office that uses over 20 lasers, we would much rather use a laser that is designed for a specific skin condition and skin types than a generic machine like an IPL.
In addition to not being as specific as lasers in relation to the target, lasers are also much more powerful than IPL devices. For example, q-switched lasers can easily remove birthmarks and tattoos, so when treating sun damage like freckles and spots, we would always reach for the more powerful tool.
While you can use IPL for Asian skin, the risk is higher and the results, in our opinion, will be poorer than with q-switched lasers.

IPL (Photo facials) safety on Asian and dark skin depends on many factors
IPL (Photofacials) can be safely performed on Asian and other dark skin types but it depends on several factors: the device itself, the settings used and the skill of the operator. There are IPL devices that sell for $20,000 and some that sell for $150,000. The more expensive ones, such as the Lum-1 have more settings that can safely treat darker skin types. But the operator must also be skilled enough to know the correct settings for each patient. Another factor is tanned skin. Always make sure your skin (or your wife's), no matter what skin type you have, is not tan when you are treated, otherwise the treatment can burn the skin. Asian and darker skin types are more prone to hyperpigmentation (dark patches) after burns and other injuries to their skin.
IPL in Asian skin
I believe you are referring to intense pulse light as a photofacial therapy. This treatment is usually preferable to treat dark spots and redness on the face of light skinned individuals. However, in patients of Asian, Latin, and other ethnic background, the photofacial have to be done with extra caution.
If used too aggressively, they can cause discolorations, blistering and burns/scars. So as long as these treatments are done by a skin specialist, preferable a doctor, then proper settings should be used to provide the best quality of care and avoid complications. Good luck.

Someone at EA Sports created a real-life version of FIFA
Video games have seemed to reach their limit in regards to graphics. So what's the next step? Using real players, of course.
EA developer Marius Hjerpseth decided to experiment with this exact idea, by shooting a soccer game between co-workers and then editing it like it was part of the bestselling FIFA franchise, including the same menus, crowd noises, and goal celebrations from the game. Behold, the final product:
"It all started last year, when I stood on the roof terrace at EA Canada and looked down on the pitch," Hjerseth told the website FIFA Samfunnet. "Then I realized that the viewing angle was the same as the one you have in FIFA, and I would try to shoot a fight from there to see how it looked. There are many good footballers who work at EA, including former professional players, so my plan was just to make a little video with highlights from the games that were played there every day. A colleague of mine filmed our next game, and when I saw the clips after I started experimenting with adding graphics. The tests looked good, so I pitched the idea to my boss and he gave me the thumbs up to use my time to develop the concept further."
FIFA 15 Preview: 4 takeaways from playing EA's newest soccer installment
I have been saying for years how the next generation of video games will feature actual humans instead of computer-generated ones, so I fully expect a royalty check from EA once this technology finally gets off the ground.

Texas is Considering Allowing Concealed Carry on College Campuses

As an Assistant Professor of Business, an NRA Endowment Member, and an annual member of TSRA, I need to correct the take on this legislation that it will result in 18-22 year olds being armed. In fact, it does not change the basic requirement that one must be 21 to get a CHL. All it does is to allow existing CHL holders to carry on campus. It is not about giving guns to freshmen.
On the campus where I teach, a small, private university in Austin, that means that the only folks likely to be qualified for a Texas CHL are some juniors, most seniors, faculty and staff. We also have an Adult Degree Program for older, non-traditional age students, open to those over the age of 23. Of course that population is old enough to carry. In fact, I doubt if we would have more than 3-4 CHL's on campus at any one time, unless they were faculty or staff, and I doubt if more than a few of us would get the CHL and carry on campus.
The idea that we would have 18-year old freshmen with guns on campus is more propaganda from the anti-gun, anti-self-defense crowd.
Gun laws are designed to extend and solidify the power of an elite over a peasantry.
Sauron lives, and his orc minions are on the march.

The build-up events to tonight's UEFA Champions League final in Munich have been a resounding public success.
A record-breaking number of fans attended the 2012 UEFA Women's Champions League final, one of the highlights of this year's UEFA Champions Festival, with 50,212 fans watching the match at the Olympiastadion in Munich.
The UEFA and European women's club fixture record previously stood at 28,112 for the UEFA Women's Cup final in Duisburg in 2009. In addition, tens of thousands of fans have flocked to the UEFA Champions Festival since it opened on Wednesday.
The UEFA Women's Champions League final was the climax of the second day of the UEFA Champions Festival, the free four-day event at Munich's Olympia Park that is building up to the UEFA Champions League final.
UEFA President, Michel Platini, said: "I am very proud of this week of football, which is a true celebration of the fans' passion, and culminates with one of the biggest sporting events. We aim to bring football to all here in Munich, and with the festival, the two finals, and the grassroots activities we are turning this city into a true European football capital this week."
The UEFA Champions League final was moved from a midweek fixture to a Saturday for the first time in 2010 in Madrid following an idea of the UEFA President, Michel Platini, so that more football fans and families would get be able to attend the Final and get involved in the festivities around the four-day Champions League Festival.
The Festival is a unique opportunity for fans to take part in football related activities and learn about different aspects of the game such as grassroots, women's football and futsal.
The Olympiastadion played host to today's Ultimate Champions Match. The 11-a-side game featured international football legends such as Steve McManaman, Gianfranco Zola and Giovane Elber when the 'World All-Stars' – a team of international football legends – took on FC Bayern All-Stars & Friends.
The Festival will close with the official UEFA public viewing of the UEFA Champions League final which kicks off at 20.45CET on Saturday 19 May. A sell-out crowd of 60,000 fans will fill the Olympiastadion to enjoy the game.
Ensuring global fans don't miss out on any of the action, the Festival is available to a larger global audience than ever before through UEFA's innovative digital activity campaign. Using key digital platforms such as Google+, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Foursquare, as well as a free Android smartphone application, UEFA is sharing unique content from the UEFA Champions Festival in Munich with fans around the world.

He played in another reserve game at Chicago on Tuesday, and has been training with the full team at America First Field in Sandy this week."He's done really well," Kreis said. "Well enough that we're extending his time with us, in order to try to make a very educated and fair decision."Having lost veteran defender Robbie Russell during the offseason, RSL has been searching for outside backs to back up starters Chris Wingert and Tony Beltran.Newcomer Terukazu Tanaka seems to be atop the list of prospects he nearly started the home opener against New York, only to fall ill while rookie Diogo de Almeida was chosen just three picks after the Whitecaps took Estridge in the MLS SuperDraft. Estridge played his final two collegiate seasons at Indiana after transferring from Wake Forest, and can play on either side of the field, which would be ideal for the rotation that RSL envisions. Kreis said the team has no timetable for making a decision on whether to offer Estridge a contract, however.

Sharon Osbourne has double mastectomy over cancer fears
Sharon Osbourne has revealed she undertook a double mastectomy after finding out she carries the breast cancer gene.
The 60-year-old battled colon cancer 10-years ago but decided to take this precaution to lessen her chances of further cancer scares.
Speaking to Hello! Magazine, she said: 'As soon as I found out I had the breast cancer gene, I thought: "The odds are not in my favour".
'I've had cancer before and I didn't want to live under that cloud: I decided to just take everything off, and had a double mastectomy.'
She underwent a 13-hour operation but says she can't feel sorry for herself and wants to focus on being a grandmother.
Sharon became a grandparent for the first time this year to Pearl, the daughter of her son Jack and his wife Lisa Stelly.
'For me, it wasn't a big decision, it was a no-brainer. I didn't want to live the rest of my life with that shadow hanging over me. I want to be around for a long time and be a grandmother to Pearl,' continued. 'I didn't even think of my breasts in a nostalgic way, I just wanted to be able to live my life without that fear all the time.'
Sharon then added: 'The surgery was 13 hours in total – the recovery was definitely not pleasant. They reconstructed my breasts at the same time: they're very small now. I'm happy with them but I wasn't that concerned with how they would look – I wanted to be cancer-free.'
The surgery has also made Sharon swear off any more cosmetic surgery.
'You can't buy your youth back, no matter how much money you've got,' Sharon added. 'I won't be going under the knife again.'
The former X Factor judge has had a tough year as in addition to her double mastectomy, she's had to deal with her son Jack being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of just 26.

Many were the mistakes made and survived by Dick Griffith. They helped to make him what he is today at 85 -- an Alaska outdoor adventure legend. Griffith is what all the wannabes thought Chris McCandless, the dead "Alexander Supertramp" of the misleading book "Into the Wild" and the even more misleading movie of the same name, wanted to be. Over the decades, Griffith wandered off into the wilderness without a map many a time, sometimes without much in the way of gear either, and yet he always came back.
He has a book of his own out now: "Canyons and Ice: The Wilderness Travels of Dick Griffith." It is a whole lot more interesting read than the McCandless book, which is really -- if you know a thing or two about psychology and read between the lines -- a nice description of the nightmare of adult-onset schizophrenia into which one young man stumbled. Griffith is no schizophrenic, though, as New York Times bestselling author Kaylene Johnson notes, there is "not much about Dick that is orthodox."
Johnson wrote the Griffith book based on his extensive journals and photographs. He has been out on the stump promoting it. It's a job at which Griffith, who has on occasion been described as "crusty," might not appear the best, but he is great at it. He showed up at a meeting of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska (MCA) earlier this week to talk about the book, sort of, and show a host of slides of places that no longer exist. They are gone beneath mountains of water, reservoirs more accurately, but they were, as depicted in Griffith's photos, some of the grandest country in all of the Americas before men came and built dams.
Griffith got to see things no one will ever see again because his wilderness wanderings started in big ways before he ever came to Alaska to pursue adventures that would go largely unnoticed for decades, and then leave others disbelieving that they had happened. Griffith hiked across the Brooks Range mountains from Kaktovik on the Bering Sea to Anaktuvuk Pass in 1959. Others would come along years later and proudly think themselves the first to complete that journey because, as with most things Griffith did, he never talked about them much.
He was, and is, old school. Even now when he lectures on his past, he comes across in a somewhat self-effacing way as if he, himself, would see anything otherwise as some sort of bragging. Griffith does not brag, though if he were of the modern school of adventure-chasers, he'd have plenty to brag about.
He's arguably crisscrossed more of the North on foot than any man alive. Some today think it a feat to hike the 1,000 miles of the historic Iditarod Trail from Knik to Nome. Griffith trod that distance as a warm-up for bigger things. He didn't stop at the city of the Golden Sands, either. He kept going, exploring, pushing ever north and then east: First to Point Hope on the edge of the Bering Strait, then on to Barrow at the top of the world, and east to Barter Island near the U.S.-Canadian border, then following the edge of the sea on the ice across the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to Repulse Bay on the Atlantic Ocean.
'No pansy-ass bed-wetters'
Go look at a map. The distance across the top of the continent between Point Hope and the Atlantic is considerably greater than the distance across the middle of the continent from Seattle to Portland, Maine. And, of course, Griffith hiked in winter. "Easier," he'd tell you. The ground is frozen and you can pull a sled. "No pansy-ass bed-wetters" need apply is how Griffith friend Roman Dial, a professor at the Alaska Pacific University and something of an understudy might describe it. Griffith, in his day, was the classic hard man. He is only slightly mellower now that knee replacement surgery has slowed him down a half a step.
Johnson, in a prologue to the 280-page book, describes him a man who has covered 6,000 miles of the Arctic on foot, basically invented packrafting as a new form of travel and "whipped asses of the outdoor elite. He has little patience for gear snobs or those sporting the latest in trendy equipment." Griffith is tough and opinionated, and it would not be unfair to call him a little eccentric. He years ago, probably more than a decade now, penned the draft of a book on his own. Friends and acquaintances (this one included) tried for years to get him to sit down with an editor and publisher to hammer what he had into a book. The draft was damn good. And here's what happened to it as described by Johnson:
"We chatted and met on occasion for black coffee and pilot bread topped with peanut butter and currant jelly. He shared more of his journals, and then one day he told me, 'You do it.' He wanted his book authored by someone other than himself. And he wanted it written in third person. For a long time, he didn't want to use his last name. For all his sometimes brusque bravado, he is basically a shy man."
The truth is probably more that Griffith is a product of his time. There was a period in America when talking about yourself was considered bad form, and there were established rules for public behavior. As Griffith confessed to the MCA group, many of whom know him well, he threw future wife Isabelle out of his boat after friend Jim Gifford abandoned a planned 1,200-mile float across the Southwest to retrace Major John Wesley Powell's journey from Green River, Wyo., downstream to the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon.
It just wasn't "proper," Griffith said, for an unmarried man and an unmarried woman to be trekking across the wilderness without a chaperone in those days. The year was 1949. The inflatable raft had only just been invented. Griffith would one day become a champion of inflatables, but not then. He took off downriver in his homemade wooden dory. Isabelle, who was along mainly because she had financed the journey, was in a military surplus raft with Gifford. They took turns rowing the boats. Gifford eventually smashed and sank the dory after Griffith led their party into aptly named "Disaster Falls" in Lodore Canyon on the Green River.
Gifford was flushed through Lodore after losing the boat. Dick and Isabelle found him luckily alive downstream and pulled him out. He had not been wearing a life jacket, nor had he been forewarned as to what he was about to get into. Griffith's only "map" for the trip was a book first published in 1871, Frederick Dellengaugh's "A Canyon Voyage: The Narrative of the Second Powell Expedition." "Canyons and Ice" details how Griffith and Gifford later spent considerable time studying the book before Griffith concluded they'd sunk "at almost the exact spot where Major Powell had lost one of his boats 80 years before."
Powell regrouped and went on. So did Griffith. It's what a man does. It is sort of the story of his life. When disaster strikes, you pick up the pieces, put back together what you can and keep going. And as Griffith has himself many times observed, it usually isn't the first accident that gets you in trouble in the wilderness, it's the cascade of mistakes that sometimes follow. Griffith has lived to a ripe old age (Isabelle is deceased) by figuring out how to dodge that cascade.
A very good dog
There is a lesson there for anyone venturing into Alaska, the last great American wilderness. You do what you need to do to survive. Sometimes it's not pretty, and sometimes you will suffer, and sometimes you will shed a tear, and right here it should be left to Griffith and Johnson to tell a story that if you are human -- and especially if you know Dick Griffith for the old softy he is beneath that thick hide -- will make you cry:
The dearth of animals to hunt in the (Brooks Range) mountains forced Dick and the dogs back out onto the coastal plain to look for food (in 1959). They were all growing weak with hunger and Pup continue to lag behind. After 20 miles of travel, Dick finally spotted a bull moose in the distance. He worried that if the dogs saw a meal on the hoof, they might take chase. So he went to get Pup. By the time he had the dogs in hand, the moose had left the area. He tied Blackie and Whitie, but left Pup untied figuring the dog was too worn down to leave his companions. Then he went looking for the bull. It was late in the evening when Dick returned to the dogs empty-handed. Once again Pup had disappeared -- along with the tent and cooking pots. Dick was furious with Pup and with himself for not restraining the dogs.
"It would be easy for a person to go 'off his rocker' here", Dick wrote. "It is miles from nowhere, and the mosquitoes are driving us crazy."
It began to rain and without the tent, Dick could only curl up in his sleeping bag and wait for morning. By 3:00 a.m., too cold and wet for sleep, he got up and went looking for the moose. When he returned, again unsuccessful, Pup was lying in camp asleep.
Meanwhile, it began to snow in the mountains and Dick could see the weather was headed in their direction. It was time to move again, but Pup refused. Exasperated, Dick took the pack and left the dog behind.
As it began to snow, poor visibility made hunting impossible. He set up camp at a tributary of the Shaviovik River. By the next morning, Pup had arrived, and so had three inches of fresh snow. Even with the snow, there were no signs of game, not a single track.
"We can't move out of here until we get something to eat," Dick wrote. For the first time, he felt overwhelmed and unsure where this all might end.
"I'm hundreds of miles from anyplace, overextended, and way beyond my abilities. I'm in big trouble. I would bag this trip in a heartbeat if I could. I don't belong here," he wrote.
Then he made a choice reminiscent of his youth (on a dirt-poor farm) in Wyoming, when his father had forced him to put down his own horse and dog.
Dick shot Pup.
He skinned the dog, built a fire and spent the day making dogmeat jerky.
"The dogs needed the meat as badly as I did," he remarked. Then he fed himself and the dogs their first meal in many miles.
While Pup had been less than useful as a pack dog, he was now providing life-sustaining nourishment until they could find game. Dick now carried the gear from Blackie's and Whitie's packs so that neither dog had to carry much -- at least until he could get more food in their bellies.
That last line tells you all you need to know about Griffith. A few days later, he and the dogs, luckily, stumbled into a band of caribou. Griffith shot one, everyone ate, and they went on. He'd eventually lose both of the dogs. Blackie wandered off, and when Griffith went back to hunt for the dog he found it dead and swarmed by mosquitoes.
"I brushed the mosquitoes of his nose for the last time and walked away," he wrote in his journal.
'Old Black-Ass'
Griffith nursed Whitie on. They hit a sheet of ice four miles wide covered in water. It had to be crossed. Dick waded in. Whitie didn't want to go.
"Dick went ahead knowing the dog would have to make his own way," Johnson writes. "When Dick reached the other side, he built a fire, made camp and waited for the dog to arrive. The dog never showed. Dick hoped that Whitie had decided to return to an earlier moose carcass, where he could eat and rest. But deep down, Dick realized that in the dog's weakened state, Whitie had probably drowned."
Griffith would blame himself for what happened to that dog for a long time, but he would eventually find a photo in "Life" magazine of a white dog on the tundra close to Lake Peters in the Brooks. Griffith investigated. He even tracked down the photographer. As it turned out, Whitie had somehow made it back to a Naval Arctic Research camp where he was adopted. "Whitie had presumably survived on the carcasses of the caribou and moose Dick had shot along the way," Johnson writes.
Whitie was a survivor, like Dick Griffith, whose Alaska stories really only begin here.
"Tell us about how you got the name 'Old Black-Ass'," someone in the standing-room-only crowd at the MCA asked him when he was done showing his slides. The nickname dates to a nasty experience Griffith had with frostbite.
"Buy the book," he said.
It's worth repeating: "Buy the book." It's a damn fine $24.95 read. It'll teach you something about Alaska, and about what it means to be a man.

In the above time she sailed 1,400 miles, discharged 315,000 feet of lumber, and called in at San Francisco. She discharged her cargo of 315,000 feet of lumber at San Diego in 15 hours. This places the Emily at the top with the best all round time on record.

There were about 140 maskers in the grand march and the hall was well filled with spectators, including many out-of-town visitors. A great variety of costumes was shown and many of the characters were suitably acted. The prizes awarded were well deserved and the decisions of the judges met with general approval.
The basketball teams of the local high school which went to Point Arena to meet the teams of that high school returned flushed with victory. The girls' team won a hard-fought game by a score of 15 to 10.

Cedric Hollingsworth died in San Francisco very suddenly, following a brief and sudden illness. Mr. and Mrs. Hollingsworth have been residing in this section for a decade or more, having been early purchasers of property in Indian Shoals, north of town.
It had been the intention of the couple to take an extensive European vacation, but as he was in the very act of ascending the gangplank to the freighter on which they had booked passage, Mr. Hollingsworth collapsed and had to be rushed to a San Francisco hospital, where doctors found that his body was riddled with carcinoma. He was so ill, though he had not complained, that he only survived a very short time.
Cedric was 61 years old. He had been active right up to the end. Whether he recognized his illness, or had merely been holding his peace, is not known. Mrs. Hollingsworth said she plans to take up residence in San Francisco.

Well, here we are again with another video event. Lady Gaga released her video for "Judas" today, which will likely replace Osama bin Laden as a trending topic. Unlike the visual orgasm that "Born this Way" was, this is supposed to tell a story about Gaga and two guys, one being actor Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead. MTV.com put this quote from Gaga's in its post today: "Well, I want to allow the video to speak for itself, but I will say that the theme of the video and the way that I wanted to aesthetically portray the story was as a motorcycle [Federico] Fellini movie, where the apostles are revolutionaries in a modern-day Jerusalem," she said. "But it's meant more to celebrate faith than it is to challenge it."
Cool. To me, it feels like an extension o Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. But what's up with the music break?
This video clocks in around five minutes but MTV also reports that "an uncut, seven-minute version of the 'Judas' video will officially premiere at 7 p.m. Eastern on E!, and Gaga reveals more in a conversation that will be shown along with the clip, but if fans can't wait for more tidbits and images from the video, no worries — Gaga is giving another first look on her Twitter."
The originally leaked video has been pulled from the Internet, but we found the below copy on YouTube. So watch it while you can.

SES East: insight on universal search
Moderated by the always hilarious Kevin Ryan, SES advisory board chair and CMO of Webvisible, the panel of programmers and agency folks updated the audience on new features available on three major engines (Yahoo, MSN and Ask) and how brands should embrace universal offerings.
Larry Cornett, VP of consumer products at Yahoo, Keith Hogan, VP of search technology at Ask.com and Todd Schwartz, group product manager of Microsoft Live Search spelled out unique tools marketers can take advantage of on each engine. I won't pitch all the engines' features here, but let just say the new features are pretty sweet. (slides from each presentation should be up on the SES Web site shortly).
Olivier Lemaignen, group manager of global search marketing at Intuit said while universal search can give users a more robust idea of your brand message, companies also need to think about reputation management. He cited an example of searching for a particular Japanese restaurant by name and city. While local results pop up, a YouTube video featuring "the dangers of sushi" might also appear. That's when companies need to think about optimizing more of their online content.
Unsurprisingly, the importance of social media was also stressed, as networking sites can also appear in blended results. Vic Drabicky, director of international and market development at Range Online Media, said brand representation on social networking sites is a minimum and what you really want is to interact with your audience on them.
He went on to explain how search can no longer be siloed. "Search has to be handled by IT, marketing, PR, the creative team, the brand managers, e-commerce and customers together," he said. "It's becoming more about digital asset management. If you're effectively managing text, images, multimedia assets, user generated content and traditional assets you'll end up with one pretty picture of your brand."

Hi! I will be the professional that will be helping you today. I look forward to providing you with information to help solve your problem.
I certainly understand your concern. The divorce decree is going to control, since it was ordered by the Judge. If the decree was silent on the issue and he has shared/joint custody, there could be an issue with you leaving the State, without his permission or that of the court.. However, if you have a previous order from the court, that is still valid, specifically saying you can move anywhere you want with her, you have a right to do so. Now, this does not mean that he can not object to it and file a motion to try and make you stay but the burden would be on him to prove it is in the best interest of the child, to prevent her and you from relocating. He is going to have to introduce evidence to support his position, if he wants to try and get the Judge to modify the order and order you stay with her in the State, absent his permission.
Please let me know if you have any follow up questions orneed any clarification on something which I stated above, prior to rating me. Please remember to onlyrate my answer when you are 100% satisfied. IF you feel the need to clickeither of the two faces/stars on the left, please STOP and reply to me via the" REPLY TO EXPERT or CONTINUE CONVERSATION " button. I want to make sure your experiencewith the site was as pleasurable as possible and that you are satisfied withthe help I provided. If you have nothingfurther, please rate my answer with 3, 4 or 5 faces/stars, so I can get creditfor my help - I hope you found it to be Excellent! Please let me know if youare having any problems rating my answer on the site.
The federal law known as the Full Faith and Credit for Child Support Orders Act (28 USC § 1738B) and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA, RCW 26.21A.130) ensure that only one state will have jurisdiction over child support at any particular time. Usually, the state that made the original child support order will be the only state that can modify or change the child support order. (28 USC § 1738B). However, in an emergency situation another state could issue a temporary child support order. Additionally, jurisdiction over child support could shift to a new state if: (1) the child and BOTH parents no longer live in the state that issued the originalchild support order, OR (2) both parents have filed written consent with thecourt that issued the original child support order. (28 USC § 1738B(e).
The combination of you having an order from the court, allowing relocation, paired with the fact that he first waited until 1 week before you moved, when he had 53 days prior to file a motion, is something which is favorable to your position. Moreover, if he filed a motion, he would have to put you on notice as to the legal basis, for preventing the move. This would be stated within, so you know how to respond and if there is any merit to his objection.

Sustrans Cymru is leading the way when it comes to helping Wales become a nation where walking and cycling are the normal way of getting about for local journeys.
We have a wealth of experience of developing community led solutions and working with schools, communities, workplaces to enable people to choose healthier, cleaner and cheaper travel.
We work with primary schools throughout Wales, to enable more children to travel to school by bike, scooter and on foot. We provide training, information and support to pupils, teachers and parents.
At Sustrans we believe well designed streets and public spaces can be places that encourage us to socialise, play and exercise.
Our approach to placemaking starts with engaging communities to understand how people currently use public space where they live and what aspirations they have for using the space differently. Take a look at our street design project.
Whether you're looking for dramatic and wild countryside or magnificent coastal views we have a challenge ride for you.
We've selected some of the most iconic challenging rides in Wales for you to consider in 2017 including Lon Las, Celtic Trail and the brand new Cycle Across the Beacons route.
These can be broken down into smaller sections or done in full, depending on what you are looking for. If you would like further details view our map or get in touch on [email protected]s.org.uk
Promoting sustainable and active travel in the workplace can reap significant benefits for employers and employees alike. We support workplaces across Wales to empower their employees to travel in more sustainable and active ways.
Councils are currently mapping improvements and potential new routes in Wales and need your input: Are the routes mapped accurately? Have any useful or essential links been missed?
The National Cycle Network in Wales is a series of traffic-free paths and quiet on-road cycling and walking routes, offering opportunities for everyday travel, discovery and play.
Explore our online map or plan your next adventure by browsing walking and cycling routes in Wales. We also have a selection of free leaflets and maps.
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for inspiration for your next trip, to find out which routes make route of the month and for everyday commuting tips.
Wales leads the world with its Active Travel legislation. The Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 has given Wales the opportunity to transform itself into a country where walking and cycling are normal ways of getting around for shorter journeys.
Making this opportunity a reality depends on investment and behaviour change. We believe that it makes sense to start the change with our children, to build in healthy lifestyles that will last them a lifetime.
At Sustrans Cymru we're lucky to have 350 people volunteering with us, supporting our work, looking after the Network, and raising awareness of the brilliant Network of routes that we have here in Wales.
Find out more about our volunteers.
We'd love you to join us! See our volunteer vacancies in Wales.

A proposed ban on firearms officers comparing notes with each other as they write up statements after a shooting could lead to a drop in armed police in the capital, a police chief has warned.
Commander Neil Basu, Scotland Yard's head of armed policing, told The Guardian plans drawn up by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) to stop officers talking to each other in the aftermath of an incident would leave them feeling "criminalised".
Under the IPCC plans, which cover all forces in England and Wales, officers would be separated from each other where practical after serious incidents such as a shooting, use of a Taser stun gun or a death in custody.
The IPCC announced the proposals to stop the practice of conferring after the inquest into the shooting of Mark Duggan.
In a statement released after his interview with The Guardian, Mr Basu said: "IPCC proposals for changes to procedures following a fatal shooting could significantly impact upon the Met's response to gun crime in the capital.
"Firearms officers face unique pressures and it is of the utmost importance that the post-incident process is balanced and fair for all parties - including firearms officers.
"We remain deeply concerned that the proposals will see officers being treated as suspects, separated from colleagues and questioned at what is always a traumatic and stressful time.
"Rather than assist an investigation we believe these proposals will greatly hinder the evidence-gathering process and prevent the best evidence from being obtained.
"Armed officers place themselves in harm's way for the good of the public on a daily basis. They are highly-professional and dedicated individuals who deserve our support.
"We plan to respond robustly to the IPCC's proposals to ensure that any changes are fit for armed policing whilst maintaining the confidence of the public."

LIFE AT LYFE ... One street over from University Avenue, the Lyfe restaurant (its title refers to "love your food every day") has opened at 167 Hamilton Ave. in downtown Palo Alto. Chefs Art Smith (a former Oprah personal chef) and Tal Ronnen (who penned the book "The Conscious Cook") have created an uber-health-conscious menu that lists the calorie and sodium counts right up there with the prices. For example, $11.99 gets you 303 calories worth of grilled barramundi in a spicy vegetable broth with edamame, cabbage, spinach, roasted mushrooms and salmon (763 milligrams of sodium). If you're still hungry, you might opt for 187 calories worth of Brussels sprouts and squash (207 mg sodium) for $2.49. Other menu items include breakfasts, flatbreads, soups, sandwiches, cakes, smoothies and several dishes incorporating "gardein," a meat substitute made from plant-based foods. Go to lyfekitchen.com or call 650-325-5933.

The Children's Tumor Foundation is the world's largest non-government organization dedicated to ending Neurofibromatosis (NF) through research. NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body, causing blindness, deafness, learning disabilities and severe chronic pain. Currently, there is no cure for NF and there are frighteningly few treatment options. The Children's Tumor Foundation is a Charity Navigator 4-Star charity that prides itself on efficiency, spending 82.4% of its revenue on program expenses and less than 8% on administrative costs.
NF affects roughly 1:3,000 births in the U.S. and is in desperate need of new discovery, which is why 100% of funds raised through Cupid's Undie Run go directly to the Children's Tumor Foundation.
The Foundation's mission is to advance peer-reviewed research to develop treatments and cures for NF; support persons with NF and their families by making thorough and accurate information readily available; to assist in developing clinical centers and best practices to improve access to quality healthcare for those who live with NF; and expand public awareness of NF to improve diagnoses, increase understanding of the challenges that NF presents, and encourage support for NF research.

It is not easy for a young cricketer to attract attention in a team featuring the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble.
But Sree Santh - that's the name he wishes to use after being referred to as S Sreesanth, Sri Sreesanth and by his full name, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, since beginning his international career - has done so by sheer force of personality.
He is indeed a rare commodity - an Indian pace bowler who bristles with aggression and who is happy to take the attack to opposition batsmen, whether it be with the ball or verbally.
"Even if I am bowling against my Dad I run in as if he is my biggest enemy," he told BBC Sport, ahead of his first Test on English soil, starting at Lord's on Thursday.
The lithe 22-year-old took 4-95 on his Test debut against England at Nagpur in March 2006, but it was on tour last winter when he established his combative reputation.
There are not many players who would stand up to South Africa's volatile Andre Nel, but after narrowly avoiding being laid out by a bouncer in Johannesburg, he hit the next ball for six and ran towards Nel twirling his bat in celebration.
Sheltering from the rain at the Lord's indoor school, however, Sree Santh proved to be a charming, personable young man far more conscious of the history of cricket than celebrity.
So what of this reputation as a hot-headed, spiky-haired, war-painted, fast bowler?
"My parents told me 'Whatever you do, do it with lots of passion' and I want to be the best at what I do.
"It is not intended to rattle the batsmen, it is just me. I was like this when I used to play tennis and other ball games. I don't hide anything, I show my emotions.
"It's my duty for my team and the nation I do myself justice, I'm never going to give up.
"The celebrity side of things is all created by you guys [the media] I am really not worried about that. I want to be at the best of my game. A lot depends on how big is the heart."
It his second visit to England, having toured with a young India side as a very different cricketer.
"When I was 16, I came here and played eight matches but I was a leg-spinner then, I only started bowling fast when I was 19," he revealed.
The reason for this change was a chance to meet Australia legend Dennis Lillee, who runs the fast bowling academy in Madras (Chennai) which Santh duly attended.
He is determined to savour the experience of Lord's, having been unable to appreciate its historic importance fully as a visiting teenager on his first trip.
Emerging from beneath the media centre he paused to survey the scene, the majestic pavilion ahead of him, imposing masses of empty white seats and that magnificently manicured outfield.
He touched the hallowed turf and began a practice run to the crease.
Although the square was covered on yet another day of blustery spring-like downpours, he bowled an imaginary delivery, with his next target to have his name permanently inscribed on the honours board for those who have taken five wickets in an innings.
"I promised myself I would play here one day and the moment I came out of the hotel [this week] I was just waiting to see the gate, then I was waiting to see the pavilion, then it was the ground, then it was the wicket.
"The moment I saw the wicket I wanted to practice. Every step is a dream. So many greats have played here, this is the best place, it's very emotional for me," he said.
And after another interview for Indian television he was off to continue the dream.

Let me start by saying, I LOVE Cake Central! I've been lurking, checking out cakes, and I just signed up for an account so I can stop lurking!
I was just wondering though, is there a Facebook group? I'm a part of blogging groups on Facebook, and it's so helpful! I'd be so happy to find out there was a cake decorating group! It's so much easier to access than coming to a forum, mainly because I have the app on my phone and it's always there!
If someone knows of a group (whether it's an official Cake Central group or a personal cake-related group), I would be so grateful!!
AI've heard there are groups, but I wouldn't know how to find them - my (anti)social media experience is limited (I still can't figure out Twitter). Sorry I'm no help - other than to tell you they are definitely there.
Thank you! I've done searches, but it usually comes up with nothing useful! I'm more likely to find cake pages to "like" than I am to find interactive groups.
Hi there !!
If you haven't found it yet ..yes there is a Facebook Page ..I just typed it in to the search bar in my fb page and it popped up!!!
I did find some, actually! I did a search for "cake", then hit "more results", and it gave me the option to look at groups! I had no idea Facebook had that option, I had to google it. I found a few that I requested to be added to!
oh good !! I just found a couple new ones to when I was in the fb search :)
I find Cake central to be very accessible and easy to use on my phone. The one group I joined could be characterized as the blind leading the blind. And if you gave them the right answer to a question, five people would jump on you in support of the wrong answer. It was kind of sad and felt a little like I'd run across an alternate universe. If you don't already know what you're doing, going to a group like that might not be the best idea.
Edit: I'm just referring to "cake support" type groups - not groups like local ICES groups or other groups with a purpose
AI had the same experience, it might have been a week at best until I had to unclick from the group!
AFB is great for smaller groups based on a relatively specialized topic or for a specific local area, but it does not work well at all for large-scale discussion forums. It is pretty easy to access CakeCentral on a smartphone by just creating a bookmark in the phone's web browser.
i just love the way you spell your name kathryn j
kathryn k :)
and to your point--clearly cake central is a controlled substance aka addictive--
i can leave for months or years and here i am again--when it's good it's a very very good place ♥
ANice to see you back k8memphis!
thank you ;)
I see what you all mean! I joined 3 groups, and they all seem to be spam? It's nothing but people posting JUNK. Links and more links to their blogs and other stuff. There is nothing constructive! I also saw a couple questions asked that were answered with some questionable responses! I guess I'll just have to suck it up and stick around here! Let's see how well this site works with my phone! Thanks, all!

Its interesting but if you hadn't mentioned it was steampunk I don't think I would have ever guessed. I recommend studying what makes steampunk well...errr... steampunky. I think you'll find it's more than making pipes and trusses.
A few typical design constraints that come to mind:
* Art Nouveau / Rococo
* Elizabethan architecture
* Lots of cobbling things together ... crooked, especially pipes
* Devices & machines are mechanically over complicated & often massive
* Gears, boilers, valves, pistols, bolts, levers... & so on.
So with regards to your story some questions to ask that might help your design:
* What is this place used for?
* Who built it and with what kind of equipment?
* Why is it important for your story?
* Atmosphere?
Looking forward to seeing your next iteration.

Ideas are easy. Making them real is hard.
Wow, that's some cool project! If it slugs down your computer, I'll definitely recommend to check if your SketchUp is version at least 7.1.6860 - there was lately a update that gives big performance boost. Also, try the Cleanup plugin - it will wipe out useless edges and faces - I use this helpful plugin quite often and I recommend it. http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/200...co-planar.html

Bad tea party politics? Bondi, Scott, Putnam want to make it easier for govt to take property
From the Sun-Sentinel:
Thousands of South Florida homeowners struck out again in their fight to collect more than $27 million in compensation for the destruction of their fruit trees in the state's fight against citrus canker. The Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled this week they have to ask the state Legislature to appropriate the money to pay them, despite their victories in separate class-action lawsuits against the Florida Department of Agriculture in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
The court reversed an order by Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Robin Rosenberg that the state pay $19.2 million to about 40,000 homeowners. The court also declined to order the state to pay $8 million to 70,000 Broward homeowners, saying the homeowners must first attempt to collect payment by means of a bill through the state Legislature, the standard practice in claims awarded against the state.
So even though the constitution guarantees full and just compensation for a taking of property, Florida's Republican attorney general, governor, and agriculture commissioner are arguing in court that Floridians whose property is taken by the state can only get that compensation if they hire lobbyists and lawyers who can get a claims bill through the legislature.
This is conservative?

Fizzy, alt-rock distortion, cooing, girlish vocals and surf-pop melodies make up this duo's incredibly likable debut record. With Frankie Rose (of solo, Vivian Girls and Crystal Stilts fame) on board, Drew Citron's delicate songs get just the right amount of rhythmic punch and fuzzy bite. The songs range from sweet and easy ("Honey Do") to kind of creepy and menacing ("Planet Birthday") in a quiet girl in the back of the class kind of way. It's not the most original thing you've ever heard—you can easily pick out the Pixies/Breeders references on songs like "Madora"—but that shouldn't curb your enjoyment, as these two are far from the first to pull from that well. They're even better on songs like "All the Things," which build from that mold but stretch into strange ways, blending melodies and chords into the grays in between the bright color bands. And the production is pure '80s college rock heaven, sounding like remastered C86 tracks or early Rough Trade songs that hadn't seen the light of day before. So, you may know what you're getting with Beverly, but in the capable hands of these two, that proves to be a very good thing.
Brian Eno & Karl Hyde – High Life (CD)
High Life brings together two titans of electronic music, Brian Eno and Underworld's Karl Hyde, and the results are predictably brilliant. Just two months ago, the duo released Someday World, but High Life shouldn't come off as an album of leftovers; rather, Eno says the pair wanted to continue collaborating after that album was finished because they were on a roll. Whereas Someday World sounded like a true collaboration, full of sparkling electronic pop and a few mood pieces, High Life feels more like an early Eno album, the surging, trebley guitars of "Return" calling to mind Here Come the Warm Jets, for instance. The afrobeat-inspired "DBF" delightfully reminds us of Eno's collaboration with David Byrne, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, as well as his production work on Talking Heads' seminal Remain in Light, with some electronic flair added by Hyde. Spectral, warbling female vocals make the otherwise laid-back funk of "Time to Waste It" into a unique experience, one of the album's strongest tracks. "Lilac" pulls out a skittering beat that serves as a nice counterpoint to the duo's warm, uplifting vocals. The album closes with "Cells & Bells," whose digital cicadas and deeply intoned harmonies make for a beautiful, meditative piece. High Life is definitely heady and its tracks are long, but anyone looking to have an itch scratched for new Eno material that comes close thematically to albums like Another Green World will find High Life to be divine.

Coveted Crib: A Weekend Cottage
Coveted Crib: A Weekend Cottage
Cottage Living's From Neglected Schoolhouse to Chic Cottage shares the story of Gotham magazine lifestyle editor Jason Oliver Nixon and decorator John Loecke, who purchased a run-down Federal-style former schoolhouse for $30,000 in New York's Catskills. In just one year, they revived the c. 1840 building to what I suspect may be more glorious than its origins.

Euro Up, Stocks up, Euro Down, Stocks Down
By: readtheticker | Wed, Oct 19, 2011
It seams fundamentals in USA mean nothing any more, its all about the rumor mill out of Europe. The EURUSD or the FXE is leading the way. We had better check Euro cycles then, to see which trend to take a bite out of next!
Maybe a push up to 1.40 on the FXE, this in line with the expect dubious push up in stocks on the SP500 to maybe 1250-1270. Of course this makes the cycle swing down on the FXE very interesting.
