Try zwieback biscuits. They have a neutral sweet flavor that should work. Or you can try a shortbread crust. Gingerbread cookies or crushed Oreos are good, but will change the overall flavor of your cheesecake.
when i had my bakery, i would use the scraps of biscotti logs. by drying out the end pieces or pieces that broke when i sliced the logs, i had a supply of tasty crumbs. today, i no longer own that bakery but i do make small batches of biscotti just to dry and grind for crumbs to use in any dessert or sweets that might call for graham cracker crumbs. think seven layer bars, pie crusts, cheesecakes and more!
I sometimes use crushed pretzels....like the salty flavor they add to the sweet.
I know for a lemon cheesecake, crushed lemon sandwich cookies are great, so I imagine other kinds of sandwich cookies would work so long as you choose a flavor that doesn't argue with the filling itself.
I use normal Marie biscuits (http://en.wikipedia.org...) mixed with melted butter. Alternatively you could use digestive cookies together with the butter. Marie biscuits give more of a very neutral taste, while the digestives have a stronger wheat flavour.
It depends what kind of cheesecake you are baking. Lots of recipes of German origin use a yeast crust. That was the style of cheesecake that I grew up on in St. Louis.
I've had good results crushing Biscoff cookies and the round crunchy Amaretto flavored cookies in lieu of graham crackers.
A crust made w toasted, ground nuts would be a great alternative, provided you don't need to worry about allergies.

To continue to make our unique brand of of "pitch-perfect" (NY Post) and "wildly charming" (TONY) theater, we need YOUR help!
Less than a year ago - an incredibly talented ensemble of actors, writers, directors and designers founded Colt Coeur—a New York-based theater company dedicated to making original, story-driven, aggressively visceral theater that pulls you close and doesn't let go.
2010 has been a terrific year for Colt Coeur. Our inaugural production, Seven Minutes in Heaven, was a New York Times and Time Out New York critic's pick, and played to sold-out houses in New York and at The Huntington Theatre's Emerging America Festival in Boston. The play - created through a collaboration with founding member Steven Levenson - has since been published by Playscripts and is receiving productions throughout the country.
We also launched Play Hotel, an ongoing reading series that serves as our principal arena for developing new work. For our first Play Hotel, nine company members gathered this summer in Williamstown, Massachusetts for four days of professional development. In September, I had the pleasure of directing Alena Smith's Plucker, in a public reading at the CoCo studio that was packed to the gills! And for our October and November Play Hotel sessions, guest artist Lucas Kavner, and company members Kristen Connolly, Joe Tippett and I began collaborating on a brand new play. Based on that work, Colt Coeur is thrilled to announce Green, by Lucas Kavner, as our 2011 production! Our 2011 season will also include 6 public readings of new plays (to be announced soon!) and 3 additional 'workshop' weeks.
This spring we are excited to launch a Play Hotel educational initiative with Brooklyn middle-school students from the nearby Farragut Houses. We will invite students to spend their spring break in our DUMBO studio and engage them in a week-long play-making workshop with a team of Colt Coeur artists.
In addition to our artistic accomplishments, we built a Board who has been instrumental in overseeing the establishment of Colt Coeur's infrastructure and strategic growth plan. We recently hired a part-time Managing Director, and have been working with a pro-bono lawyer to secure our 501(c)3 status.
It has been a tremendous start for Colt Coeur. In order to continue to make our unique brand of "pitch-perfect" (NY Post) and "wildly charming" (Time Out NY) theater, we need your help. If you believe, as we do, in the infinite potential of live theater to inspire compassion, humor, ferocity, and an unapologetic sense of wonder, please join me in making a gift today to our annual fund, and investing in the future of our company.
Our growth would be completely impossible without your contributions. Thank you in advance for your tremendous generosity!

Buying a bike in Nairobi - what are the options?
Hello All, A friend and I are researching towards a 3 week trip around Kenya/Tanzania around mid next year. From what we've seen so far, we are leaning towards buying bikes when we arrive in Nairobi over trying to arrange rentals.
We are really looking for local used 125-250cc bikes and would be interested to know if anyone could advise on the availability of such bikes. Internet resources on the subject seem very sparse and given our tight timeframes we'd like to know if this is a feasible option? If so where is a good place to look? Thanks in advance for any advice/information you might have! |
Ask to Chris at Jungle Juction (contact details are in the Hubb). He might know. I bought at his place a BMW R80 GS 2 years ago. Btw, I am not sure if he knows about getting that kind os small bikes you were asking for, but Kenya (in fact, the whole Africa) is full of Chinese crap.
Good luck.
www.miquelsilvestre.com |
Cheers for the reply.
I did send an email to jungle junction as well but the reply was short and ambiguous. |
Any luck in your enquiries? I'm heading out to Kenya in the new year for a 3-5 year job and am tossing up the cost of shipping a bike from UK vs buying locally.
John |
I am afraid I haven't got much further than the above. I've had another reply from Chris which basically said good bikes are hard to come by and expensive (how much exactly I'm unsure). Basically we've had to rethink our trip as it doesn't seem workable now...
Buying Bikes in Nairobi
I have just come from Nairobi, My friend from Germany bought a New Chinese bike in Nairobi for 750euro, he rides a African Twin but his girlfriend was visiting him for six weeks, we rode thru Kenya and Uganda with them and the bike went well (175cc) the only thing they did was tighten the chain. There plan was to sell it back in Nairobi when they had finished. Paper work was a breeze, but you would have to talk to him about what to do, however I do know everything was plane sailing with the whole thing. Parts are easy to find as well because these are the only bikes the locals ride.
He would probably be interested in selling that one as well, all they were doing was the loop around Lake Victoria over to Zanzibar and back to Nairobi. Cheers Paul |

Enbridge's Line 2 **Line 67 tar sands** pipeline has leaked an estimated 600 gallons of crude oil at its pump station near Viking, Minnesota. Line 2 was built in 1956 and has a history of spills. Regulators ordered Enbridge to reduce its Line 2 operating pressure in October 2010 following the company's Kalamazoo River tar sands spill.
The Enbridge Viking pump station also receives oil from the Alberta...
Alberta and Canadian Governments Complicit in Killing Climate Policy in EU & U.S. to Support Toxic Tar Sands
Alberta and Canadian Governments Complicit in Killing Climate Policy in EU & U.S. to Support Toxic Tar Sands
The Alberta government's multi-million dollar public relations campaign to spin dirty tar sands production in a positive light has received quite a bit of flack from those who see through efforts to tout the tar sands as green, or as a "national treasure".
They haven't just been investing in $56,000 advertisements and op-ed pieces. The governments of Canada and Alberta are also engaged in something much more insidious: a concerted effort to weaken climate policies in other countries, with the aim of ensuring that no impediments exist to Canada's filthy tar sands.
The shocking report released by Climate Action Network Canada shows that the Alberta and Canadian governments have been complicit with industry in efforts to undermine climate legislation in the EU and U.S. The report highlights three devious efforts by industry and government to oppose or weaken energy policy abroad: California's low-carbon fuel standard, which encourages cleaner fuels and discourages burning dirty fuels; Section 526 of the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act, which stops departments from buying the dirtiest kinds of fuels and the European Union's Fuel Quality Directive, an effort to lower CO2 emissions and move toward cleaner-burning fuels.
Government and industry are behind "a concerted effort to weaken climate policies outside our borders, with the aim of ensuring that no doors are closed to Canada's highly polluting tar sands," the report's authors write. This is the heart of corporate-government complicity, with the secret oilsands advocacy strategy being led by the Foreign Affairs Department, with officials working in both the U.S. and the European Union. The report's authors fear that these examples appear to be just the tip of the iceberg.
In the U.S., the Alberta government and industry have worked tirelessly to fight the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act — particularly the contested Section 526 — which requires the government buy fuels that meet an environmental performance standard. Essentially, the measure makes it tougher to find markets for fuel derived from dirty tar sands.
The Alberta government sees Section 526 as a threat to their bottom line, and has as such been paying lobbyists handsomely to fiercely debate the provision. According to lobbying disclosure records that Climate Action Network accessed, former Michigan governor and U.S. ambassador to Canada (1993, 1996) James Blanchard, along with others at his firm, DLA Piper, participated in over 80 interactions with U.S. officials and politicians in the year beginning March 1, 2009, on behalf of the Government of Alberta.
In exchange, he billed over $300,000 US in fees.
Blanchard, conveniently, sits on the board of Enbridge, who is responsible for the recent Michigan Kalamazoo spill in which over three million litres of tar sands crude was spilled into Michigan waterways (nearly 4 million litres, according to the EPA). Enbridge tried to hide the fact that the spill was tar sands crude because the mixture is a real toxic headache infused with more heavy metals, sulfur and other pollutants than typical oil products. It's Enbridge's pipelines that import the lion's share of filthy tar sands crude into the U.S. Curious that Blanchard is simultaneously on the payroll of the Alberta government whilst sitting on the board of an energy company making huge profits off of tar sands oil.
Enbridge is also part of the reason why tar sands proponents want to lobby against the EU Fuel Quality directive. They fear a nasty precedent being set for clean energy legislation in the European Union. So why is that a threat to tar sands development? One of the reasons is Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.
The report decries Alberta and Canadian government's shameful efforts to pull other counties away from clean energy futures. Canada and Alberta are stacking their chips up on the tar sands, while stacking the deck to ensure that nothing gets in their way - including the pesky climate. In that gamble, we all lose.

I am not surprised that the current government's goals for international climate (in)action align with those of Tar Sands lobby. But, it does come as a surprise that the current government IS the Tar Sands lobby on the international stage!
If there is a silver lining to this oily-black cloud, it's that we are only seeing this kind of desperation on the part of industry/government because they are scared.
Don't worry guys, climate action is nothing to be afraid of. It may knock a couple of decimal places of some CEO's salaries, but it's not going to kill anyone. Runaway climate change on the other hand...
Thanks for great work breaking the story

market segments, including the Fashion Apparel and Accessories, Beauty and Fragrance and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) segments. We continue to maintain a robust new business pipeline and hope to capitalize on this pipeline by establishing relationships with major consumer brands and companies that own families of brands.
While the economy is still in the early stages of its recovery, we believe there is exciting potential to drive organic revenue growth through our existing client base, especially those with focused direct-to-consumer initiatives. We believe the combination of many new eCommerce clients, along with the economic recovery, has us well positioned for growth in the future.
I am also pleased to communicate again that during the quarter we completed the renewal of our financing facilities with IBM Global Finance, Comerica and Fortis through March 2011, Mr. Layton continued.
Summary of results by business segment:
Service Fee Business:
For the first quarter of 2010, Service Fee revenue was $16 million, compared with $17.1 million for the same period in 2009. The Service Fee business reported Adjusted EBITDA of $0.15 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million for the same period last year.
Mike Willoughby, President of PFSwebs Services division, commented, Recently we announced a number of significant new client opportunities. This includes the launch of an End2End eCommerce solution to support the web commerce initiative for the Carters and OshKosh BGosh brands. Since its launch on March 24, 2010, the program has exceeded expectations, and PFSwebs ability to scale its operations has helped enable Carters to capitalize on this opportunity. The end-to-end solution incorporates an innovative multi-brand web store, high-touch customer care, fully branded order fulfillment and comprehensive financial transaction management. PFSweb also provides a variety of Interactive Marketing Services to support Carters, which are targeted to fuel additional growth.
Also, in February we launched a beta site to test the eStore, an online shopping site exclusively featuring P&G products to consumers in the U.S., which is an alliance between PFSweb and P&G. Since the beta site was launched, we have received positive feedback from P&G and the customers using the site. We believe we are nearing completion of the beta test and are getting ready for the live site launch, which we expect to happen soon.
We have gained a significant amount of attention since initially launching the End2End solution. However, this solution really just expanded and unlocked the world-class services we have offered for years. We continue to operate a robust range of world class outsourcing services designed for both direct-to-consumer and business-to-business commerce activity. As further evidence of our service quality, our client Riverbed recently awarded PFSweb their Supplier of the Year award for 2009, in recognition of the excellence of our solutions serving their growing customer base, continued Mr. Willoughby.
Supplies Distributors Business:
For the first quarter of 2010, Supplies Distributors revenue was $45.5 million, compared to $45.3 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year.

The rise of energy which occurs as winter becomes spring is the generative force of life. It is also a movement away from original nature and self. The opposite happens in the fall. The expansive outwardly expressive "yang" energy begins to turn inward. In the five-element model of Oriental philosophy, the metal element is associated with the season of fall. (The other four elements are water in winter, wood in spring, fire in summer and earth in late summer.) Now, in the time of fall, we are returning to our essential true self, having (at least in theory) fulfilled our destiny in summer.
We are taught that on an unconscious level, grief is the emotion of the fall time. This year perhaps more ever before, grief is what we feel. The ancients teach us to examine closely during this time of year all that we have lost. They remind us that it is in losing that we return to our essential spiritual selves.
The physical organs associated with fall are the lungs and large intestine. The lungs function to bring in quality air and life force while keeping out the impure. The lungs and large intestine work to empower us to be in touch with the essential spirit of things and let go of their superficial natural form.
We are asked now to stay connected to the essential spiritual form even after the natural form has disappeared. Most cultural traditions reserve the fall time for remembering the dead and what we have lost. Reflection on what is essential and real is the challenge we all face now. This can be seen as a "fall" into the barrenness of winter, or a return to connection to our authentic self.

Meet Dorian and Basil! They are approximately 3 1/2 months old. They are brothers. I rescued them from a girl on Facebook who was trying to offer them up as snake food. My dad sent me her ad on Alpena Buy, Sell & Trade, a local sale page on Facebook. She was charging $4 each and said they were 7 weeks old. I wrote to her asking if she had two males I could purchase. While I waited for her reply I scrolled further down the page looking at other things people had for sale. Some guy had posted that he was in search of feeder mice for his snake and I saw that the girl had replied to his ad with, "My baby rats are about the size of mice..." Ugh! I knew I had to rescue at least two! Finally she answered me and said she had two males available. I arranged to go to her apartment that night after work to pick them up. Her apartment was jam packed full of all kinds of animals, from rats, to dogs, to cats, to birds. It smelled very bad. I picked out two males and as I turned to go I almost stepped on a tiny kitten. Sheesh! I felt bad about leaving the rest of the litter, but I knew my cage wouldn't hold more than 2. About a month later she advertised yet another litter of babies. This is apparently what she does. I can't rescue them all, unfortunately.
Anyway, I got them home and they seemed very friendly. I put them in their new cage and they wandered around sniffing and exploring everything. Then they set in to stuffing their tiny faces and gulping water like crazy. That's when I realized I hadn't seen any food or a water bottle in the aquarium the girl had them in. I hope that was just a display tank and that she fed them and gave them water any other time!
I was reading The Picture of Dorian Gray on my Kindle at the time, so their names came to me pretty easily. Basil is a dumbo and Dorian has normal ears. I thought Basil was tan was I got him, but he has grown into a very obvious gray, even though the camera always seems to show him as more tan. Dorian is very black. He has a blaze marking on his face and Basil has a white star on his forehead and a random gray spot on his belly. Both have white bellies. Over the last two months I have watched them both explode in size. At first Dorian was smaller than Basil, but he has recently begun to quickly catch up. I'm not sure if they're done growing yet, but I can't imagine them having too much more to go. I haven't weighed them, but in my hands they feel like they could be close to a pound, especially Basil. They are very mellow and friendly. Every time they hear me come into the living room they are always clinging onto the bars to greet me.
The cage I have for them now won't work much longer, even though it seemed pretty big when I bought it and pretty big when they first got here. They are quickly outgrowing it, so I am keeping my eye out for a much larger cage, preferably at least 2 story. I do know about pine and cedar being toxic, so I use aspen bedding. I am thinking of checking into the various litters they make now, though, since this aspen doesn't stay clean for long. At the rate things are going now I am going to have to go to Tractor Supply and buy one of those gigantic packages of bedding they have so I can change their cage every 2 days, lol.
On to the pictures. Here is when I first got them. They were so little!:
About halfway through:
And now:

NYIT ends road safety campaign
Amman, January 9, 2010
The New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) in Jordan has concluded its traffic awareness campaign held at Cambridge International Schools headquarter recently.
The traffic awareness campaign, in which the international driver, Jordan Rally Champion, Amjad Farrah participated, also aimed at educating students about potential dangers ensuing from traffic accidents.
Over a four-day period, professional drivers and specialists shared information regarding traffic safety with the students.
The first two days of the campaign were devoted, by the organising party, for discussing major issues regarding traffic and pedestrians' safety, as well as precautionary procedures bicyclist should follow to ensure their safety.
The campaign's third day agenda's subjects revolved around precautionary procedures motorcyclists should follow. The university hosted Valero Motorcycle Riders team whom offered a realistic presentation outlining rational driving.
On the fourth and final day, Jordan Rally Champion Amjad Farrah participated in the campaign's activities. He brought his own rally car to introduce students to its components.
He further emphasised the difference between race cars speeding at a race track, as well as misuse and faulty over-speeding practices some do in public transportation streets. – TradeArabia News Service

The two groups will initially team up to promote the Saratoga Springs Lacrosse Shootout. Additional lacrosse programs and events will be added in the future.
Lake Placid Summit Program Covers Through the Years
Inside Lacrosse has been attending the Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament for years, providing in-depth coverage of what is widely considered the premiere summer lacrosse tournament for players of all ages.
Club Gear: Power-Tek (Lake Placid)
One of the most stacked of the teams in the Men's Open I division at the 23rd annual Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament, Power-Tek beat out a highly talented Select Sector SPDRs team 12-6 to take the division championship.
Club Gear: UMass Old Men (Lake Placid)
While covering the 23rd annual Lake Placid Summit Tournament this past summer, ILGear.com didn't just observe the vast amount of action at the week-long event — we participated in it, as well. Thanks to tournament director Kevin Leveille, this writer was able to get on the field with the UMass Old Men, a team made up of UMass alumni — well, sort of.
Club Gear: Syracuse - Burnt Too (Lake Placid)
The Syracuse lacrosse program's presence at the Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament has grown each summer, and 2012 was proof of that, as the Orange alumni group and current players fielded three Syracuse-specific squads across multiple divisions.
Club Gear: Team Lax World - WNY (Lake Placid)
Lax World has been a well known business in the lacrosse world for thirty years, and in that time, the brand has always had a presence on the notheast tournament scene.
Club Gear: Motive Pure (Lake Placid)
The IL offices were recently visited by the good people at Motive Pure, who dropped off a frienly sample pack for us. The rehydration supplement, the creation of lacrosse legends Jesse Hubbard and Mike Watson, has become a staple on the lacrosse scene as the company looks to reinvent hydration.
Club Gear: Titanium Elite (Lake Placid)
Titanium Lacrosse, an Ohio-based program started by Dublin Jerome High School coach A.J. Auld, has grown its presense on the summer tournament scene in recent years, having spread into Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.
Club Gear: Sharp Shooters (Lake Placid)
We know what you're thinking: "They can't possibly have more gear from the summer." Oh, yes, we do. As we head deeper into fall, we're heading deeper into denial, and so we cling to the memories of the summer, hanging out on sidelines, scoping the action, shooting gear.
Club Gear: Team Breakaway (Lake Placid)
Our good friend Jeff Serge, who runs Breakaway Lacrosse in Latham, New York, just outside of Albany, has been bringing teams up to the Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament for years. This summer was no different, as Team Breakaway brought some of the top college players from the Northeast together to compete in the tough Men's Open I division.

Furman University Policy 077.3 requires that all University contracts for information technology hardware, software, or services be approved by the Chief Information Officer. Generally, offices considering information technology hardware, software, or services should consult with Information Technology Services (ITS) before getting to the contract stage. ITS can help you determine whether your requirements can be met by existing ITS services, or whether an outside service would be a better approach. The Systems and Services Contract Review Form should be completed when outside services are needed.
When you do get to the point of needing to contract for information technology, University Policy 370.1 designates ITS as the purchasing agent for technology hardware, software, and services. ITS staff will review such contracts to ensure that they will work with the University technology services, and that the contract terms comply with appropriate University policies and guidelines. The review process pays particular attention to these elements of the contract process:
Additional explanations, and sample terms, are listed below. All items may not be appropriate for all contracts, but are expected for most contracts.
Statement of Work: The contract should include a Statement of Work. This Statement of Work should state everything that we expect the contracted solution to do for Furman. Contracts also typically reference, or include, payment schedules within a Statement of Work. When appropriate, scheduled payment should be after we accept the work as complete.
Bid Process: University policy 370.2 requires that, for contracts valued at more than $5000, we receive three competitive quotes, or provide documentation explaining why it was impossible to get three quotes. For contracts valued at more than $10,000 we need three formal competitive written quotations, and unsuccessful bidders must be notified of Furman's decision.
Budget Office approval: Information Technology Services will check with the budget office to ensure there is adequate funding.
Cap on increases: Service contracts may be renewable. If Furman expects to renew the contract then there needs to be a cap on future price increases. For example, on long term associations with a software vendor where there are annual maintenance fees, the contract needs to include a reasonable cap limiting how much these increases can be.
Privacy and security: Furman is beginning to contract for many services that are hosted off site, and many of these services store data on their systems. University data needs to be protected, and comply with expectations outlined in University policy 071.11. If student data is involved then we need additional assurances that the vendor complies with FERPA regulations. The contract needs to state that the vendors systems are regularly audited by a 3rd party. That the auditors report is available to Furman and that the vendor has responded successfully to anything found in such an audit. Here is an example of such privacy language from a recent contract:
"Vendor and Furman agree that student and prospective student records, information, and data are confidential, regardless of whether they are designated as confidential in writing. Vendor further agrees to abide by all requirements of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA") with respect to all such student and prospective student records, information, and data. Vendor agrees to accept all financial responsibility for any data breach of its systems related to Furman data and will notify Furman University of such a breach within 24 hours of discovering said breach. Furthermore, vendor will provide upon request evidence of having had a party security audit conducted by a 3rd party within the past year. Vendor will also provide evidence of having successfully satisfied all findings from said security audit."
In addition, ITS may ask to see evidence of appropriate backup and recovery processes, as well as provisions for data encryption and other relevant security methods.
Service levels: We require a service level agreement (SLA) for all contracts for services that are hosted offsite. This is to insure that we are not paying for something that is not available. We generally are looking for a 99.9% uptime with some type of refund structure if that level is not met. Here is a pdf example of a representative SLA.
Termination terms: The termination clause of a contract should allow either party to terminate the contract without cause by providing written notice. This type of termination is usually valid within a given number of days of the other party receiving the notice. The termination term must be reasonable and fair to both parties.
Reciprocity of terms: Contracts are typically written by vendors to protect themselves. Consequently, the contract may contain clauses that gives the vendor some benefit. If a clause in a contract gives the vendor a benefit, then we expect the contract to also allow Furman to receive a corresponding benefit.;
Governing Law: All contracts include a clause that says under which state's governing laws apply to the contract. This should always be South Carolina.
If you have questions about a contract for information technology, please contact the IT Service Center.

Dancing Naked in Dixie - Lauren Clark (2012)
Julia Sullivan is a travel writer from New York City. Her usual assignments take her to beautiful locations across the world. She has a boyfriend, however, she is never at home enough for the relationship to progress to the next level. Julia's next assignment to Bali comes to a drastic halt when she is dragged into her new editor's office and reprimanded on the decline of her work. If she wants to save her job, her next assignment will not be Bali, but rather Eufaula, Alabama. Julia arrives in Alabama and is immediately a fish out of water. Her New York fast-paced ways are at odds with the slow Southern lifestyle. Julia tries to fit in, however, it seems that the more she tries, the more chaos she creates. Shug Jordan is Julia's handsome contact in Eufaula. As Julia researches Eufaula, she uncovers a secret that could destroy the small town that she has started to love. The reader is introduced to a wonderful collection of characters that inhabit Eufaula. The author does such an excellent job describing the town and atmosphere that it makes the reader want to grab some sweet tea and head south. (AO)
Dancing Naked in Dixie, by Lauren Clark, is about a travel writer sent into the Deep South. The synopsis says: "Travel writer Julia Sullivan lives life in fast-forward. She jetsets to Europe and the Caribbean with barely a moment to blink or sleep. But too many mishaps and missed deadlines have Julia on the verge of being fired. With a stern warning, and unemployment looming, she's offered one last chance to rescue her career. Julia embarks on an unlikely journey to the 'Heart of Dixie' - Eufaula, Alabama - home to magnificent mansions, sweet tea, and the annual Pilgrimage. Julia arrives, soon charmed by the lovely city and her handsome host, but her stay is marred by a shocking discovery. Can Julia's story save her career, Eufaula, and the annual Pilgrimage?"

HERE'S MY STORY: I'm from New Haven, Conn. I started as an artist. I made an album on an independent label but then I met a guy name Timmy Regisford. He was someone who's name I would follow while working at record stores. I would read the credits to know who's doin what and he seemed to be on almost everything i was loving at the time. When I met him, it was like a dream come true. Anyway, he got me bought off of the indie and signed me to Motown. I did another album. By the way these albums never came out. By this time, I was 21. He hooked me up with a young group name BOYZ II MEN and 2 of the songs that I did for my album ended up on their album ("Your Love" & "Little Things") 1 song on the BOYZ II MEN "II" album "Jezzabel" After they came out and blew up, I decided I didn't want to be an artist, just be in the back produce/write and do my backgrounds/arrangements for others and I would be good with that. For example, If you listen to "SWEET LADY" (TYRESE) along with producing/co-writing and arranging the song, that's all me on the background vocals. I started my first company Character Music Corp In 1990. While I was known as The Characters, I produced/wrote for artists like TODAY, COLOR ME BADD, SWV, 702, BROWNSTONE, BRIAN MCKNIGHT, TYRESE, JOHNNY GILL, TAKE 6, FAITH EVANS, and many others. CARL THOMAS and I met at a very early age and we kept in touch til he turned 19, left Chicago and moved to Brooklyn to live 5 years with me. He was my first "TREY SONGZ" so to speak. When CARL fell out with my ex-partner he moved on to BADBOY you know the rest. I met TREY SONGZ when he was 15 the summer of 2001. He sang a song he wrote and when I heard it, I put music to it to see if he had any recording skills. Even though he had never recorded professionally, he did very well. He spent the next 2 summers with me and then after graduating highschool, he came to NJ to live and pursue his dream. He would go with me to almost every session to watch and learn. Soon after, he became my vocal producer assistant. He worked along side me on the KEVIN LYTTLE project to help finish the album. Since Kevin's single "Turn Me On"(which I did not produce) was huge, he had to hurry and finish the album. So CRAIG KALLMAN OF ATLANTIC RECORDS asked me to help finish it and I brought along young TREY. We wrote, produced, arranged, re-arranged, sang, anything that was needed to finish it. It went on to be a platinum selling album. TREY also co-wrote a song for PATTI LABELLE with me "GOOD LOVIN" off her DEF SOUL ALBUM "TIMELESS JOURNEY" He was feat. along with the legendary EDDIE LEVERT on a GERALD LEVERT song I produced. TREY "THE PERFORMER" SONGZ has worked really hard with his classic mixtapes and features to get where he is and I am very proud of him. He was and still is a very good student. LAMONT FLEMMING A.K.A HIT.LA I met him when he was 12 through a very talented writer name NANETTE MAXINE BROWN. I taught and mentored him and he went on to pass the teachings to CHRIS BROWN. I also mentored another talented & Grammy award winning writer and co-writer of TYRESE's hit "SWEET LADY" my lil bro & 2 time GRAMMY AWARD WINNER JOHNTA AUSTIN (Mariah, Mary J. Aaliyah, Chris Brown, Ginuwine, Bow Wow, Toni Braxton etc) I try my best to allow THE LORD to bring the talented people to me so that I don't look for or at the wrong things to decide whether I should be working with them. I realized that everyone talented aint for me to teach and mentor. Now after 12 years God told me to leave my company. He told me to leave before, but i was calling myself "tryna be loyal" But when I left, I went on to start my new production company SONGBOOK and I produced artists like, ARETHA FRANKLIN, PATTI LABELLE, WHITNEY HOUSTON, LIONEL RICHIE, B2k, PRETTY RICKY, GINUWINE, KEVIN LYTTLE, YOLANDA ADAMS, GERALD LEVERT, DONALD LAWERENCE, THE O'JAYS, THE ISLEY BROTHERS, signed my very first artist "THE PERFORMER" TREY SONGZ, MARY J. BLIGE (on her latest album song ..13 look closely at the credits) just to name a few. So now here I am. One of my next artists will be JOSHUA (Fatty Koo) He's currently taking his courses at T.T.U. (TROY TAYLOR UNIVERSITY) lol!!! Bringing the innocence back to music. We did some amazing songs and he sounds great!!! I am currently working on "THE PERFORMER" TREY SONGZ next album "TREY DAY" SONGBOOK has some very talented up & coming producers as well. BRANDON GREEN A.K.A BEI MAEJOR is a kid i met through a friend of a friend over a year ago. BOBBY FISHER (D2 MUSIC MGMT) told me about him and sent me 3 of his trax. When I heard the trax, I was very impressed. So I called him only to find that he was a very talented, well spoken, smart young man attending THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN making trax in his dorm room. He got his very first placement on TREY SONGZ "I GOTTA MAKE IT" He did "UR BEHIND" He scored his 2nd placement on BUN B'S latest album he produced the song "HOLD U DOWN" that feat. BUN B , MIKE JONES, BABY, AND TREY "THE PERFORMER" SONGZ. He's produced a summer 2006 classic smash song for the TREY DAY album "ARE YOU A PERFORMA" BEI MAEJOR is soon to be that next hit making kid. E. MILES is a new edition to SONGBOOK, he is also working hard on his placements. There are a few potential producers but I'm working with them to see if they will be for SONGBOOK. Moving on with my story, A talented grammy award winning writer and good friend of mine GORDON CHAMBERS (ANITA BAKER, BRANDY,BROWNSTONE, ARETHA, WHITNEY) just to name a few, asked me in 2004 to help him with his solo project. He decided to go hard and put it out himself. Since he and I collabbed on so many legends including the ISLEY BROTHERS latest single "JUST CAME HERE TO CHILL" and many others, there was no way I could let him go at it alone. I encourage all to check out his album "INTRODUCING GORDON CHAMBERS. I'm working on PATTI LABELLE'S up coming gospel project. So far, I along with my friend GORDON CHAMBERS, we have already written and produced a classic song "WHERE LOVE BEGINS" featuring YOLANDA ADAMS and another classic song "WALKING AWAY" ft. CEE CEE WINANS. I'm working on an extremely talented up & coming artist on DEF JAM her name is KARINA. I've recorded 6 songs on her so far including the soon to be classic "CAN'T BRING ME DOWN" which is unfinished. She still has to put her piano solo on it. People let me tell you, this young lady is INCREDIBLE!!!!! We are also working once again with THE QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN. I WON MY VERY FIRST GRAMMY FOR BEST TRADITIONAL VOCAL PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ON ARETHA"S "WONDERFUL" ON THE "SO DAMN HAPPY" ALBUM IN WHICH I PRODUCED 3 SONGS. SONGBOOK HAS JUST LANDED IT'S FIRST COMMERCIAL MUSIC PLACEMENT "FORD CARS, BOLD MOVES" LOOK FOR THE GIRL GOIN IN THE CLUB AND THE DJ (FLEX) READS HER LICENSE PLATE THAT SHE IS GETTING A TICKET ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT'S A DUDE WHO LEFT A MESSAGE ON HER CAR ASKING HER TO DANCE. WHEN THEY DANCE, THAT MUSIC IS DONE BY YA BOY TROY TAYLOR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU HEAR IT I AM VERY EXCITED! SONGBOOK IS A TEAM THAT ALLOWS GOD TO PUT IT TOGETHER. I will keep you posted on all I'm doin. Feel free to tune in daily as this may change. I WAS JUST NOMINATED FOR BEST TRADITIONAL VOCAL PERFORMANCE BY FEMALE FOR MARY J. BLIGE'S "I FOUND MY EVERYTHING" ON "THE BREAK THROUGH ALBUM" I VOCALLY PRODUCED HER TO HAVE THAT CLASSIC SOUL SOUND.

Abodeon makes their "Hollywood" debut … on PBS's This Old House
October 3rd, 2012Back in June of this year, many of you heard whispers about our own Dale Anderson making the jump to Hollywood. His rugged good looks have been known to us all for years, yet only recently discovered by talent scouts as he sat in *his* chair behind the jewelry case at Abodeon.
The truth is a bit less glamorous, however it is still super exciting for us. Earlier this year, This Old House started filming the new season and as part of their This Old House Tour, they were participating in a re-design of an 1887 Victorian-era two-family in Cambridge. which happened to be in Abodeon's Porter Square neighborhood.
While the cast and crew were leaving the facade and a majority of the exterior largely as is, the interior was receiving a fairly intense deconstruction, resulting in a much more open and modern room footprint. This re-design is heavily inspired by the home owner's Scandinavian heritage.
In the 3rd Episode of the series, the home owner, Sally, comes to Abodeon with Kevin O'Connor, host of This Old House, and asks Dale to pull together pieces for her home that are representative of the Scandinavian style, so that she may visually illustrate to Kevin the look she is going after. (Episode #1103)
Dale and everyone here at Abodeon had such a great time that day and we'd love for all of our readers to tune in when Dale makes his big screen debut. (TV is a big screen compared to our smartphones and iPads, so don't downplay this honor for Dale by pointing out the obvious!)
Full episodes are available on their website here in case you forget to set the DVR.

Art Institute of Boston Celebrates 100 Years
September 20th, 2012100 Years of Artistic Excellence
"…in art that the heart, the head, and the hand of a man come together."
John Ruskin
British cultural theorist and architectural critic
Those words deeply inspired Roy Davidson, becoming the early philosophy on which he founded the School of Practical Art in 1912. 100 years later, the school, since renamed Art Institute of Boston, continues to facilitate the intellectual and creative growth of passionate young artists.
The Storefront Art Project
To kick-off their Centennial Celebration, student and faculty artists of the Art Institute of Boston are sharing their work with the community in a very public manner, via a unique exhibition of storefront window installations along Massachusetts Avenue, between Harvard and Porter Squares. Abodeon is honored to participate in this celebration of the arts. The installations will hang until October 13th, 2012.
For more information on exhibiting artists : Storefront Artists
Abodeon's Installations
Our interior window installation was created by Kate Castelli, a local Cambridge artist. In the pictures below you'll see Kate hanging her installation, as well as images of the finished piece as seen from Massachusetts Avenue. You can read more about this work on her website.
"100 Chairs" Sumi ink on handmade paper, twine, metal clips
Artist Kate Castelli, alumni BFA in Illustration, 2008, Art Institute of Boston Cambridge, MA
Our exterior installation was a truly collaborative artwork. The painting was created by Percy Fortini-Wright and 14 young students in a 2012 summer school session "AIB Pre-College Mural Painting". For a list of the student artists: Mural Artists
According to Fortini-Wright's Artist Statement, the title of the piece was decided as a group, the motivation being that "As teens they felt that the phrase was appropriate for their journey as young artists. Since the Art Institute of Boston has played a major role in their artistic development they wanted to use imagery associated with the departments that cultivated their broad experiences."
The pictures below show our own Dale Anderson installing the collage to our brick exterior with the help of Cedric, one of the artist's friends. The title of the work is a perfect fit for Neighborhood Nine, maybe they'll let us keep it up after the show ends?
"As We Grow" Spray Paint on panel
Lead Artist Percy Fortini-Wright, adjunct AIB faculty BFA Fine Arts, 2003 MFA in Visual Arts, 2008, Art Institute of Boston
The next 100 years
The Art Institute of Boston will soon be breaking ground on a new Arts Campus in Porter Square, Cambridge. The design, led by architect Simeon Bruner of Bruner/Cott Architects will be a mix of historic preservation, adaptive reuse and new construction. Mr. Bruner was lead designer for award winning projects: MassMoCA (N. Adams, MA) , Piano Craft Guild (Boston, MA) and Crown and Eagle (Uxbridge, MA).
Designed in the International style of modern architecture made famous by architects such as Le Corbusier, Rudolph Michael Schindler and Alvar Aalto, the Arts Center will be built with an emphasis on sustainability, making it eligible for LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The main building will be a mix of glass curtain walls and concrete, while a glass-enclosed connector reaches out and unites "what will be" with "what was" as it joins the historic church. The connector is designed to act as a general Arts Common for students and visitors, while the church will house the Art Institute of Boston's Art Library.For proposed image renderings or to find out more about the Art Institute of Boston's new Arts Campus: AIB Arts Campus

duo deck
January 13th, 2012We only play vintage LPs at Abodeon and have an enormous collection, so this hit home with us. The portable Duo Deck is just being introduced by Ion Audio. Powered by 4 AA batteries or USB, the turntable and built-in cassette player plays and converts both LPs and cassettes to MP3 music files. Just connect the deck to a Mac or PC with the USB cable and your ready to transfer. There's even a built-in speaker, and 1/8″ headphone output that can be used for listening or connecting it to a speaker system.
Ion is also introducing an even more compact LP 2 GO which converts LPs only. Think of them as the iPod of turntables – you can take them anywhere. – Terri
jens risom reissued

mixing modern with antiques
January 6th, 2012New Year's resolution. Start blogging again. Second resolution. Really start blogging again.
Combining mid century with antiques isn't a revolutionary idea. It softens the lines of modern, and adds layers of visual and textural interest that can make a space richer and more unexpected. In our loft, Dale and I combine mid century furniture with a mix of antique primitives, ethnic carvings, and industrial pieces. We love the unknown craftsman, and the sculptural aspect of everyday implements from a hundred years ago.
The good news is that with a bit effort and luck anyone find intriguing elements for very little money. You just have to think outside the box and enjoy the hunt. Here are a few details from our loft (I'll show more of an overview at a later date). – Terri
This 40-inch piece of driftwood (that grew around a stake) resembles a bird. We mounted the driftwood ($20 at a antique shop in Maine) on a railroad tie discarded in our neighborhood. Voila!
A view from above at a connected bandoleer of WW2 cartridges ($15 from a flea market) rolled up into one of Dale's bowls.
This top of an old apple picker encages a stone found on the beach. I rubbed the stone with powdered graphite, and buffed it until it looked like steel. Picker $27. Stone $0.
Above our kitchen cabinets, an antique cupboard door ($40) sets the stage for carved figures by Mexican artist Hippolito, purchased in the early 80s.
An antique fishing net holds a gourd that also has a powdered graphite stain. Below are circa 1930s bronze doll head molds found at Brimfield about 10 years ago for $100.
An old fish with iron teeth carved from a buoy swims in front of the Boston skyline. Found at a Texas flea market in the 90′s for $75.
An antique spinning wheel rests on the top center portion of our 60s Cado wall unit from Finland. Below it are cast baby shoes from my mom, brother, sister, and me. Wheel: $40. Shoes: Priceless.
The sides and back of a 19th century Conestoga wagon found at Todd's Farm Flea Market in the late 90s for $200. We mounted the pieces on the wall as a gigantic triptych with the back floating in front of the side panels. One of our favorite pieces!
eero aarnio chair
December 31st, 2010Collectors can come in all ages and sizes. With a little help from his mom, Adan definitely looks pleased with his acquisition of a vintage fiberglass Pastil chair, designed in 1967 by Eero Aarnio. We think it's a perfect fit… although Adan might want to rethink his spelling of Abodeon. Happy New Year! Cheers – Terri

December 30th, 2010holiday block party postscript
December 19th, 2010In case you missed it, last Saturday's Holiday Block Party was a big success. Good weather, great music, yummy food – and of course – out-of-the-ordinary gifts helped make the store a cool place to chill while pondering what to get for picky Uncle George.
FYI, we were supposed to close at 9pm last night but our staff decided to keep the doors open until the last customer left at midnight. We thank them for their perseverance! Cheers – Terri
