This tweak can force an app to stay in RAM simply by adding a string of text to /system/build.prop along with the internal process name (com.foo.bar)
For instance, my entry in build.prop isQuote:
There are two lines in /system/build.prop named "sys.keep_app_1=" and "...2"
Here you can enter process names.
You can figure them out with... Auto Memory Manager http://media.xda-developers.com/imag...es/biggrin.gif
Keep in mind that this option locks the app's priority to 0 which means totally unkillable.
If you want to stop such an app you'll have to go to the running apps in Android settings and press "Stop process".
If you kill it via Taskkiller or any other app it will restart.
Ever since I started using Gingerbread ROMs, Android Music would keep losing where I was at in the middle of a mp3 via a "Pause". I listen to 1-2hour radio mp3 shows and obviously need it to pause and remember where it's at in the mp3 so when I listen again it picks up where it left off. In Froyo I never had an issue, I've always used the built in Android Music app and the Widget. In SS5.6 I had this issue sometimes, and in SD9.0 it always happens. With or without v6 supercharger, the OS would keep killing android music so it would lose the file handle and thus "forget" it's place in the mp3 file.Code:sys.keep_app_1=com.jrtstudio.music
The key point here it's based on app name, not PID, so it only needs to be set once.
I also rebooted my phone, and it picked back up exactly where it left off! Finally, just like Froyo. I tried using Auto Memory Management app to do this but, #1 it's an extra app that I don't want, #2 it didn't really work and was based on PID. So anytime it was rebooted or Music was killed, it would get a different PID.

Campbell Soup profit beats estimates; sales rise 10 percent
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Campbell Soup (CPB.N) reported a higher-than-expected quarterly profit on Friday as gains in its soup and snacks businesses more than offset a decline in its drinks unit.
The company, which also sells V8 juices, Pepperidge Farm cookies and Prego pasta sauces, said U.S. soup sales rose 1 percent from a year earlier. Sales rose 7 percent for snacks and fell 3 percent for U.S. beverages.
Overall, net sales increased 10 percent to $2.33 billion, due mostly to the company's recent acquisition of Bolthouse Farms.
Campbell, the world's largest soup maker, also stood by its forecast for fiscal 2013, which calls for earnings of $2.51 to $2.57 per share on sales growth of 10 percent to 12 percent.
Excluding restructuring and other charges, earnings in Campbell's fiscal second quarter ended January 27 were 70 cents per share. On that basis, analysts' average forecast was 66 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Net income was $190 million, or 60 cents per share, down from $205 million, or 64 cents per share, a year earlier.
The company, which has been trying to reverse weak soup demand with a slew of new products, spent less on advertising in that business. One analyst called that "a ticking time bomb."
"We have seen many food companies in the past cut advertising spending as a percentage of sales," said JPMorgan's Ken Goldman, "and while it usually helps boost (earnings) in the near term, it almost always leads to eroded brand equities and lower sales in the long term."
While Campbell may be spending less in some areas, it said it is spending more efficiently, noting that sales of its Chunky soups were up despite the reduction in ad spending.
Campbell Soup shares jumped as much as 6 percent on Thursday after news of a buyout of rival H.J. Heinz HNZ.N sparked hopes of other acquisitions in the packaged foods industry.
The shares were up 1.5 percent at $39.30 in midday trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

We Are the Green Party of Colorado

In "Why We Use Ant", Bruce argues why we should continue use Ant, even though it has some significant flaws as a build system for large, complex projects. His arguments are:
Number four is actually a very strong argument, especially in a group doing Java development.
Let me quote an interesting passage in Bruce's article.
Exactly! It was my need to dynamically generate some make targets that started my original make rant that sparked the rake project. make, by itself, just wasn't up to the task
Bruce continues …
Bruce, you really need to check out rake. Its exactly what you describe above (well, if you substitute Ruby for Python). And it didn't take a bevy of programmers. The core functionality was an evening's worth of work.
Dropping seamlessly into Ruby is trivial, because a Rakefile is a Ruby program, specified in standard (although idiomatic) Ruby syntax. Since we never leave Ruby, we have no parsers to deal with, leaving a very small code base for the core functionality. The core of Rake (dependency management, task execution and rule matching) is less than 200 lines of code. The minimal rake install (a single file) is around 500 lines of Ruby code and adds common file commands (system independent versions of cp, rm, mv, etc.) and a flexible FileList object that mimics Ant's include and exclude semantics.
Martin Fowler echos many of Bruce's comments and reiterates that a build system really needs a full blown programming language. Martin has been dabbling in Ruby, and it seems that he has discovered rake and has been using in it some small projects. Great!
Why should your build system support a full blown programming language? Here is one small example taken from a real situation at work.
When we are ready to install a project at work, we create a staging directory containing the files to be installed into an environment (e.g. testing or production). As problems are discovered in testing, corrections are made in a development area and copied to the staging directory for reinstallation.
The following makefile copies 2 jar files from the developement area to the staging area. Yes, I know that a makefile is probably overkill for this problem, but in real life there are other tasks as well. For example, using make (or rake) allows me to ensure that a refresh step always occurs before an install step, but only if the refresh is needed.
So here is the makefile …
# Makefile to copy jars DEV=/home/jim/development JARDIR=jars refresh: $(JARDIR)/a.jar $(JARDIR)/b.jar $(JARDIR)/a.jar: $(DEV)/AProject/lib/a.jar $(JARDIR) cp $@(DEV)/AProject/lib/a.jar $@ $(JARDIR)/b.jar: $(DEV)/BProject/lib/b.jar $(JARDIR) cp $(DEV)/BProject/lib/b.jar $@ $(JARDIR): mkdir -p $(JARDIR)
Notice that there are several duplications in the file. The copy command for the two jar files are remarkably similar, yet different enough that you can't capture both cases with a generic make rule. Also, knowledge about a particular jar file is spread out in two places; once in the copy rule itself, and again in refresh task line.
First we will translate the above Makefile into an equivalent Rakefile. See the Rakefile documents for details on the syntax of a Rakefile.
# Rakefile translated directly from the Makefile DEV = "/home/jim/development" JARDIR = "jars" task :refresh => [ "#{JARDIR}/a.jar", "#{JARDIR}/b.jar" ] file "#{JARDIR}/a.jar" => [ "#{DEV}/AProject/lib/a.jar", JARDIR ] do |task| cp "#{DEV}/AProject/lib/a.jar", task.name end file "#{JARDIR}/b.jar" => [ "#{DEV}/BProject/lib/b.jar", JARDIR ] do |task| cp "#{DEV}/BProject/lib/b.jar", task.name end directory JARDIR
All the duplication from the original makefile still exists in the rake version. Lets remove it by writing a function that will generate the dependency (and copy command) based on the jar file name and the project name.
# Rakefile with (some) redundencies removed DEV = "/home/jim/development" JARDIR = "jars" task :refresh directory JARDIR def make_jar_copy_task(jarname, project) stagejar = "#{JARDIR}/#{jarname}.jar" devjar = "#{DEV}/#{project}/lib/#{jarname}.jar" task :refresh => [ stagejar ] file stagejar => [ devjar, JARDIR ] do cp devjar, stagejar end end make_jar_copy_task("a", "AProject") make_jar_copy_task("b", "BProject")
Notice that the refresh task is now declared without any explicit dependencies. The individual jar file dependencies are added to the refresh task inside the make_jar_copy_task function.
If we had a lot of jar files, we could put them in an explicit list and replace the last two lines with something like this …
jarfiles = [ ["a", "AProject"], ["b", "BProject"], ["c", "CProject"] ] jarfiles.each { |jar, proj| make_jar_copy_task(jar, proj) }
Or perhaps we have to deduce the jar files from the current contents of the JARDIR directory. (Assume that projects is a lookup table mapping jarfiles to project names.)
Dir["#{JARDIR}/*.jar"].each { |jar| jarname = File.basename(path).sub(/\.jar$/, "") make_jar_copy_task(jarname, projects[jarname]) }
Or perhaps we need to pull our jar file names from a database …
DBI.connect(DBI_STRING, USER, PASSWORD) do |db| sql = "SELECT jarfile, project FROM install_table WHERE install_date = ?", db.select_all(sql, INSTALL_DATE) do |row| make_jar_copy_task(row['jarfile'], row['project']) end end
Ok, that last example might have been a little over the top. The point is that builds can become arbitrarily complex, and anything less than a full programming language is just doesn't cut it.

Children's Zoo at Celebration Square
The Children's Zoo at Celebration Square strives to ignite awareness of, excitement in, and concern for animals and the natural world and its conservation in people of all ages.
The Children's Zoo Believes
All life exists within an ecosystem.
Human beings are an intergral part of all ecosystems.
Healthy ecosystems provide many essential services and benefits that sustain and improve human lives.
The human experience requires a connection to nature. These experiences in wild places in our community enrich our lives and inspire our choices for future generations.
Human beings are responsible for dramatic changes to ecosystems at a rate unprecedented in Earth's history.
We have the responsibility to care for the Earth, to leave healthy ecosystems for our families and future generations.
Through informed actions, we can positively impact ecosystems.
Responsible zoos and aquariums strive to conserve ecosystems and promote care and positive action for the natural world.
The Zoo's Conservation Efforts
Lockey, the Children's Zoo's Hinge-back tortoise, has been busy saving his species.
He is currently on loan at Herpetological Resource Management participating in a breeding program, and has made fast friends with a female Hinge-back tortoise named Kinixys.
Any baby tortoises hatched through this program will be released into their natural African habitat to help boost the wild population. This is an example of proactive conservation!
Fun Conservation Facts
Glass takes more than one million years to decompose (break down and disappear) in our garbage dumps.
By recycling a single aluminum can, we save enough energy to run a television for up to three hours.
Turning the water off while you brush your teeth can save 2 gallons of water a day!
Every year, enough paper is thrown away to make a 12-foot wall from New York to California.

Canary Islands
This summer I went to the Canary Islands with my friends. We did a lot of things there; we went to the swimming pool, partying, to the dune beach, and to the aqua park party...
Also, one day we went to one beach where there were a lot of water sports and we practised the motorskying, parasailing and a los of things.
Finally we come back to Spain with hangovers and our bodies very pained becouse we fell many ...
We can't wait to get started!
... the weather forecasts which will assist us with our direction plans especially for the first few days of the trip
Due to contrary winds and a low pressure system generating some "large" waves, the organisers decided to delay the start from yesterday to tomorrow. Some boats did leave yesterday and we went to watch together with Diane and Peter's wife Sue and daughter Victoria. A lazy Sunday afternoon followed with drinks and a late lunch.
Getting ready to cross the atlantic in Arc 2012
... Las Palmas on, this type of weather is what it is built for so they are hoping to beat their record of 12 days crossing!!
We later found out that most boats in the racing division crossed the start and then either anchored off-shore or berthed again to wait for better weather. I think only 12 boats have gone on to brave the storm.
Cascais to Las Palmas- in search of sun and shower
... at around 0800 hours. Plan A is to head more or less south towards the coast of Morocco but the weather has changed - as always in sailing, so plan B is hatched, with a tentative plan to go to Madeira. This would have been a shorter passage, so early beer and showers was a welcome dream. The sea state and us amateur helms people soon put paid to that idea and as the day goes on, somewhere like Boston seems to be a possible plan C. The day at sea is sunny with clear ...

My 2yr old daughter had been reading to her kitten Mayhem, I had asked my daughter "Where Mayhem was?" She told me "I read to him and he fell asleep!" So I had went to check on him and this is how I found him. My daughter is such a sweetie. Nothing like a cat reading a book on how dinosuars learn to read then taking a nice nap!
Nice nap after a nice book

San Francisco Designer John Bradfield Channels Alexander McQueen For Dining by Design Tablescape Designer John Bradfield Discusses His Alexander McQueen-Inspired Table by Elka Karl 11/22/10 0 Reactions 12 Shares Print 11 0 1 0 0 While I was wowed by many of the beautiful tables at last week's Dining by Design, the table that surprised and impressed me the most was created by San Francisco designers John Bradfield and Maryam Monsef. Combining beautiful elements from nature with a sophisticated and elegant palette, the table's — and designers' — popularity was reflected in the number of people drawn to it. Bradfield cited his inspiration for the tablesetting as the 2006 Fall/Winter runway show by Alexander McQueen, and was particularly influenced by a single dress. Find out what dress inspired Bradfield, as well as more about the table, in my interview with the designer. All Photos Courtesy Laura Morton Start What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CasaSugar: How did you decide on the palette? John Bradfield: The palette was chosen to keep a mysterious yet elegant feel to the space. We wanted to keep it intimate and the darker color palette accomplished this. 1 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: I love the butterflies used in the table settings. There's a lovely Victorian collector feel to the setting. Is this what you had in mind? What made you use the butterflies? JB: In continuing with the nature influence, they added a whimsical and elegant feel to the table. We also wanted to steer away from a traditional table setting. 2 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Are those carnations in the centerpiece? They look so luxurious and elegant. How did you come up with this centerpiece? JB: The center piece was carnations, 350 to be exact, cut and placed in floral foam (without water). [I was] not sure if they would last both evenings (which they did). I had more sitting at home just in case. There was one dress in McQueen's collection that I was particularly drawn to. The model came out onto the runway wearing a pair of deer antlers about two feet high with an ivory lace veil over top and draping over her face . . . which then continued into an incredible ivory lace gown with a long train. I wanted to try and replicate this look with the flowers and thought that when grouped together carnations created this effect. Source 3 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: What was your inspiration for using the rough-hewn wood floor? JB: We chose to use reclaimed circle-sawn oak on the floor to give the feel that the space has always been there and has history. I find that the use of old and new creates a warm, inviting, and familiar space. 4 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Tell me about your decision to paint the ghost chairs. How did you decide on the designs? What technique did you use? JB: Since the overall setting had some powerful items we chose to use acrylic side chairs so they would not compete with the space. We wanted a subtle design element to the chairs and make them our own, so we decided to add the hand painted images. The first layers were of a deep purple and then finished off with a layer of metallic silver. This effect allowed the image to pop off the dark backdrop of the table and wall. In McQueen's collection he used animal accessories on the models (feathers, antlers, etc.). We played off of this use of nature and came up with the tree and owl. The tree was delicate and elegant and the owl added a little drama. 6 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: The head of table chairs are Restoration Hardware pieces that you had reupholstered. What is the fabric? JB: The fabric on the chair is Bergamo Rubelli - Malipiero in Argento. 6 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: The chandelier is amazing! Are they gemsbock horns? Did you have the chandelier fabricated? JB: I wanted to do something with antler or horn and came across these oryx horns (also known as gemsbock). After playing with a few ideas, this is what we came up with. It's a prototype for a lighting collection that we are working on. We did have it fabricated locally in San Francisco. 7 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: What is the backdrop comprised of? JB: The backdrop is a series of eight panels wallpapered with "glass cameo/black" from Elitis. 8 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Can you tell me more about the table? JB: The table was a custom design by me, which I had fabricated locally in San Francisco, too. It is a high-gloss lacquer with two tones. One [tone is] on the top and base, but in the opening of the base we had it lacquered in a lighter color. 9 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: How does this design represent your overall vision as a designer? JB: This design represents me perfectly. It has a luxurious feel, yet is approachable. I consider my designs to be contemporary classic. I always feel that a space should have a base of the classics. 11 / 10 11 0 1 0 0 Read More John BradfieldTablescapesDining By DesignGalleryEditor's PickAlexander McQueen tablescapes Everything You Need For a St. Patrick's Day Party! 2 days ago 10+ Floral Centerpieces to Set Your Wedding Style 2 weeks ago Impress Guests With a Romantic Valentine's Day Dessert Table 3 weeks ago What Guests Really Notice at a Holiday Dinner Party 12/20/13 The Ultimate Guide to Your Thanksgiving Table 11/23/13 Throw an End of Summer Bash — on Sale! 8/07/13 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Weekend of Pain is now currently in planning for either April 2-3 or April 9-10.
(for PT 1...refer here)
Beautiful Autumn time, awesome displays of tree colour in the area.
Basic plan is to base in Bright and start from Bright early Saturday (~6am...crack-o-dawn, no daylight savings). Ride to Harrietville and over Hotham, cyclist brekky at Mountain Kitchen @ Dinner Plain, down to Omeo for more munchies, up to Falls Creek (more munchies), down to Mt Beauty (more munchies)...over Tawonga Gap and roll back into Bright.
This will not be a smash-fest and the plan is to complete the ride in good weather (yes good weather clause is in effect...if April 2-3 sucks...cross fingers for 9-10).
I expect to do the full circuit in around 12 hours during daylight hours (but obviously with lights just in case).
Looking at renting a house (with hot tub and/or sauna) for the Friday and Sat nites.
Sunday is lazy recovery day and return to melbourne...maybe an early morning ride just to blow the last of the lactic out of the legs.
Anyone interested?

Biographical/Historical Note
John Christian Buhler, son of John Buhler and Edith Smith (1767-1826), was a planter of Winters Plantation in Buhler's Plains near Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He married his first wife, Hester Buhler (nee Smith, 1803-1835) of Adams County, Mississippi, in 1827, and they had a son, John Robert Buhler (1829-1886). John Christian Buhler married Frances Tabor Coit in 1837 and had a son, Francis Purviance Buhler (b. 1841). John Robert Buhler graduated from Princeton in 1846 and married Mary Meux Reynolds (1826-1903) in 1847. They had four daughters, Anna S. (b.1848, married William D. Postlethwaite), Jane Gillespie (called Jennie, 1859-1945), Mary Edith (1864-1931 or 2), and Hester Smith Buhler (1866-1948, married Samuel Randall Simmons).
Scope and Content Note
The collection includes family correspondence, chiefly of John Christian Buhler, John Robert Buhler, Mary Edith Buhler, Hester S. Simmons (née Buhler), and Jane (Jennie) Gillespie Buhler. Letters concern national and local politics, notable persons, social and economic conditions in Louisiana and Mississippi, and family life. Correspondence during Reconstruction discusses problems of freedman labor and property holdings of the Buhler family, chiefly in East Baton Rouge Parish. Education and student life are discussed in a letter (1805) to Hester Smith Buhler at Ursuline Academy in New Orleans and in letters from family members (including Francis Purviance Buhler) at Princeton and Yale universities.
Financial documents include a copy of an act of sale (1852) of a parcel of land by John Buhler and his wife to the town of Baton Rouge. This parcel is now the site of Magnolia Cemetery. Genealogical notes (1914-1927) pertain to the Lightfoot family, the Smith family of Mississippi, and the families of John Christian Buhler, Richard Devall, John Reynolds, and John Hawkins. The collection contains photographs of oil paintings and engravings depicting members of the Buhler family living from 1679-1886, and photographs of John Christian and Hester Buhler (undated).

Series I, John Christian Buhler and John Robert Buhler, 1805, 1824-1883
The earliest letter in this collection was written by Edith Smith Buhler Devall to her daughter Margaret Buhler at Ursuline Academy, New Orleans (1805). A certificate declares Miss Hetty Smith a member of the Presbyterian Church in Adams County, Miss. (1824).

"I was in an area of Santander which is called Garcia Rubia. This was a cold area with bad soil. We decided to make a Homa experiment when we met Julian Acosta. He introduced us to Homa Therapy. We got some land and started a HOMA Organic farming project. A Resonance point was established and we had 27 different products. We produced enough veggies and fruits for the whole town."

I'm finding it very troubling that after two years Verizon has not added support for Mac users to access the WiFi. Please add support ASAP.
Yes. There's is no way that it is taking them 18-24 months to produce a Mac solution. This is just vaporware. We recently extended for 24 months but I'm thinking about canceling. They pushed this service as a benefit but didn't specify that it was PC only. Other carriers simply require a login. And, of course, there doesn't seem to be iOS support. So, Verizon, how about Mac, iOS, Droid, and Linux support? How about truth in advertising when you've claimed since 2009 to be working on a solution?
I have been disappointed in their MAC OS support as well. Today I had a problem with the router resetting it's WEP key to the router ID, dropping our wifi connections. I figured out the problem when I was on hold. I stayed online to ask why this might of happened. The support person tried to put it on my MAC OS software. I had to reexplain the issue was the WEP key changed on Verizon's site, not on my MAC. BTW, the WEP key was the same on two MACbooks and two iPhones and an iPod Touch . . .the only this changing was the field in the Verizon setup site under basic wireless setting, "WEP" key. At any rate once the tech listened and understood it was on their end he had no answer, just to see if it happens again and let them know and perhaps they would give me a new router at that time.
I asked why there was not much support for the MAC and he tried to tell me it was because there were so many more PCs. Sigh. O-L-D argument. Look at a Consumer Report, Verizon. You will see MACs are the best listed in their surveys AND just look at the business reports to see that MACs are selling quite well out there. NOT to mention the amount of iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches that are being bought.
At the end of it all they sent me an email with the Verizon Home Agent to follow up. I downloaded a MAC OS version and when I opened it up, it gave me a dialog box that I needed to be connected to Fios internet for it to work. I was. On the ethernet line. After that even the enter button didn't work. I did send them feedback on that as well.
I hope Verizon thinks about this. Perhaps someone on their end looks at comments like this. It keeps me looking around at other carriers. Especially on the heel of problems like this. As well as causing me to establish a registration for this forup to voice this issue.
Can we get more of a response than "acknowledged"? Verizon claims to have been working on this for years now with nothing to show for it. "Working on it" seems more like "thinking about it".
I'm not sure when this happened or if it's always been true, but you can use Verizon Wi-Fi with other devices now. See http://wyang0.blogspot.com/2012/01/verizon-wi-fi-f

Decorating Dilemma: Home Office
Lifetime Moms channel leader Stephanie Elie is in the process of moving to a new home and she asked me for some tips on creating a home office. Here are suggestions for multitasking mamas like Stephanie.
Separate Space
If you are lucky to have an entire room for your office - you are golden. If not - create a spot for your office nook and separate work from the rest of your home. Maybe you can find a spot in your living room, a nook in your bedroom, or even right by the kitchen. Wherever you set up your office, make everything you need for work easily available to you and separate other items. Don't mix your household bills with your business invoices, and have your work related business cards separate from the cards for your dentist etc. This space is for work - not for running your household.
Double Desk
If you have an actual office, I recommend a double desk. I know, I know, you would like to have a work space just for you, where nobody else in the family ever comes so you could just work alone. Me too. In reality, being a work-at-home-mom isn't always that easy and we get stuff done while we often have a kid or two, or in Lifetime Mom Audrey's case four, running around. Create a double desk in your home office with either one wall length desk, or two separate desks on two walls so the kids don't actually have to run around - but they have their own spot in your office. Or your husband can have his own desk, too, and they leave YOUR desk untouched. It's also a great idea to have a small secretary table or wall mounted drop-down desk as the backup desk for the kids. These type of desks are also great if you don't actually have a separate room for a home office, but want to create an office nook in a living room, bedroom or other space in your home.
An open office, like Stephanie will have, is actually nice because you can keep an eye on the kids while working, and you can create activities for them close by, when needed. The downside of open offices, or incorporating them into other rooms in the home is that if your office is messy - your home looks messy too. Try to create your home office in a space where you have enough storage space for your work related items.
Organization & Making It Pretty
Create an organizing system. There will always be paperwork, even if you don't own your business. Contracts, invoices, receipts and even business publications, business cards and brochures can pile up. I like open shelving for home offices if you have an office room. But if you just have an office nook in your home, you can turn non-office-furniture into office storage for all of your business papers. Your office is in the kitchen? Get a beautiful armoire and hide your business papers inside it. Think outside the traditional office furniture - and utilize what you have. One of the best ideas I have seen for organizing business papers in a small home office was hiding them inside a coffee table that had a lid on hinges. I personally have one of those large kids' play tables with drawers under it as a coffee table in the living room - and my business papers are hidden in there. When you have a low budget, you can also get inexpensive wire shelving and cover it with pretty fabric to match your home and hide all of your business essentials.
Make sure to check out some inspirational pictures of home offices that I collected on Pinterest.

Kickstart Kevin
Jay Duplass attended the 2010 Sundance Film Festival with his feature Cyrus and participated as a panelist at last year's ShortsLab:LA. Along with his brother Mark, he has previously screened features Baghead and The Puffy Chair at the Festival.
A few years ago, I was looking to rediscover some inspiration, and my college-days hero Kevin Gant immediately came to mind as he has again and again over the past 20 years. Kevin is a musician whom my brother Mark and I watched perform in Austin in the early '90s, and to this day he remains the most inspired artist I've ever witnessed. So when Kevin disappeared back in 1995, it weighed on me. For years I asked around, but could never figure out why he'd gone away, or where to.
When I finally got serious in my search, all I could find online was an address on the east side of Austin. So on a break from my narrative work, I grabbed a camera, flew to Texas, and found Kevin. He was living alone, in a shabby apartment, spending most of his days in near-complete solitude. Here was the person who had inspired my entire creative career, and I realized that his own creative dream, to play and share in the joy of music, was long gone.
I asked him all the questions I'd carried around for years: "Where does your crazy, poetic spark come from?" and "What happened back in '95?" What he shared was a very dark, very painful story. Riding the wave of his cult following in Austin, he'd decided it was time to move to L.A. to "make it." Mere months later, he was basically beaten to within inches of his life, in what he later learned was a failed gang-initiation attempt. When I first interviewed him, both of his parents had recently passed away, so he was a single child with no family left. I got the sad impression that he was shutting his life down.
Flying home, I was at a loss. I wanted desperately to help Kevin, to re-inspire him the way he'd inspired me over many years. My first idea was to somehow reconnect him with the source of his inspiration, Spanish flamenco music, an obsession that goes all the way back to his childhood. He owned a single cassette tape that he listened to constantly and fell asleep with every night. He felt a deep, mysterious, inexplicable connection to Spanish culture, without ever having seen or experienced it firsthand. As he told me this, the thought flashed in my mind: "We have to go to Spain." But immediately, my left-brain questioning started in: "How's that going to happen?"
The very next week, randomly and cosmically as things tend to go in Kevin's life, I received an email from the Granada International Young Filmmakers Festival. Granada—how could it have happened any other way?—is literally the birthplace of flamenco. I called the festival and told them Kevin's story, and they immediately agreed to fly him to Spain with me. At the end of 2009, to the amazement of my left brain, we were traveling halfway around the globe together. I watched Kevin take in the sights and smells and sounds of Southern Spain, with a peaceful, knowing smile on his face that lasted our whole trip. He was reconnecting with a place he'd never been, but had somehow always known was home. That night in the hotel room, a song came to Kevin for the first time in over 13 years.
At our World Premiere in March at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX, Kevin was there to play a live set for the surprised and emotional audience. There was palpable electricity in the room and word has since spread to other fests, who are now requesting Kevin's presence for the film + performance experience. It's been my lifelong dream to show Kevin to the world, and I'm incredibly proud to see it finally unfolding. In a twist I never expected, the festival tour for the movie Kevin is turning out be a global launching pad for Kevin the musician's "comeback tour."
If you're interested in Kevin's story, and would consider contributing to the travel expenses of Kevin's tour (as well as the finishing of our film), please check out our fundraising page on Kickstarter here. We can use all the help we can get. Thanks so much!

Wolves Return the Favor
Apr 24, 2008
The Wolves got on the board just 1:59 into the game when Brett Sterling scored for the second time in the series with a wrister that beat Admirals goaltender Pekka Rinne to the blocker side. Jason Krog and Brian Sipotz picked up the assists on the play.
Chicago got lucky on the second goal of the night at the 9:17 mark of the first. Former Admiral Darren Haydar carried the puck into the Milwaukee zone and dumped it to Nathan Oystrick, who carried the puck into the slot and fired a shot that went over the net, off the boards, took one bounce on the Admirals net, and then ricocheted off of a startled Rinne and into the net.
The Admirals had their best chance of the opening period when Sterling went to the box at for slashing at 15:56. However Milwaukee managed just two shots on the man-advantage and Chicago went into the locker room with a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes of play.
The second period began with a golden opportunity for the Admirals when Boris Valabik and Oystrick took minor penalties just nine seconds apart. But before the Ads were able to establish the zone Cal O'Reilly was whistled for interference the Admirals two-man advantage was gone.
Brian Fahey put the Wolves up by three when he one-timed a Joe Motzko pass from the high slot at 4:45 of the second and Joe Motzko made it 4-0 just over three minutes later when chipped in a puck that was loose in the slot for his first goal of the playoffs.
Milwaukee got their lone goal with eight seconds remaining when defenseman Mark Matheson fired a slap shot from the blueline that deflected off Chicago goaltender Ondrej Pavelec's glove and into the net.
Dov Grumet-Morris replaced Rinne after two periods and all six shots that he saw in the third.
Game six is set for Saturday night at 7:30 pm at the Bradley Center. Tickets for the game are just $15 and $11, which is up to 30% off the regular season price. Fans can order tickets in person at the Admirals office, the Bradley Center Box Office, by phone at (414) 227-0550, or online at www.ticketmaster.com In addition the Admirals will be open until 8:00 pm Friday night to accommodate any game six ticket needs.
Should the two teams go the distance, game seven would take place at the All-State Arena on Monday, April 28th at 7:00 pm.
