Ban on estate agent boards extended (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

Estate and letting agents to be prohibited from displaying sale boards in some main roads
Updated 2:13pm Wednesday 19th March 2014 in News By Natalie Glanvill, Reporter - Waltham Forest
Permission has been granted for a five-year blanket ban on advertising boards used by estate and letting agents in certain roads.
The measure was approved by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles.
It will be enforced in Leyton and Leytonstone High Roads, Lea Bridge Road, Hoe Street and Forest Road in Walthamstow, and Crownfield Road in Leyton.
A one-year ban was previously granted to the council in 2012 after it applied for extended powers in the build-up to the Olympics.
But the council says it has taken action as many agents continue to flout the rules.
Cllr Clyde Loakes, deputy leader and cabinet member for environment, said: "We issued 826 fixed penalty notices in a single year, but realised that many of the larger agents were simply building the cost of the fines into their margins.
"Not only were they flouting the law, but they were flouting our enforcement measures as some sort of acceptable cost of gaining free advertising."
Victor Michael estate agents, in Church Lane, Leytonstone, recently received a fine for displaying a sign a week longer than the statutory 14-day period which applies in the road.
But the firm claims it was unaware of the two-week rule.
Branch manager Gary Monk said: "I agree that signs shouldn't be left up for months and that in these circumstances agents should be penalised through local enforcement but the 14-day period is a little strong.
"One of the best sources of advertisement has been stopped by a local authority and this is going to have a detrimental effect on the landlord, sellers and agents.
"75 per cent of our enquiries come from sale boards so all this means is the property will remain on the market for longer and any additional costs will be pushed onto the landlord or seller."

I wish the council will have a word with a particular 'boutique' Estate Agent' who litters the properties in the village with boards on properties that they are neither selling or letting and making the area untidy. This is a good law but must be enforced.

Harry Monk is wrong saying the 14 day ruling is unreasonable, that is adequate time to remove a board.

How come the Council can advertise large scale developments on imposing hoardings for the entire duration of the development being built, but when it comes to private sellers, they are not allowed boards more than 2 weeks? Is it because they want to promote the sale of new build housing stock over private home sales?
What ever the reasons for it, this seems yet again another initiative motivated by revenue generation for LBWF's own gain.
I personally would like to see lots of murals, street art and public art commissions on these large scale development hoardings instead of Council messages proclaiming their 'regeneration' strategy: "You asked for a cinema, we listened!", "Coming Soon, a new residential village", "You asked for schools, we are delivering!"
Inch by inch this Council is becoming increasingly authoritarian.

It offers a further opportunity to the ruling group to make its case without mentioning politics. The same thing is true of the publicly funded WFN. it's a blatant abuse.

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
- 12 cups plain unsalted popped popcorn, (from 2/3 cup kernels)
- 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts
- 1/2 cup raisins
- In a medium nonstick saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add 1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows; cook, stirring, until melted, 10 to 12 minutes. In a large bowl, combine 12 cups plain unsalted popped popcorn (from 2/3 cup kernels), 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, and 1/2 cup raisins (be careful not to mix in any un-popped kernels).
- Pour melted marshmallows over popcorn mixture, and fold to combine. You will need to work quickly since the sugar in the marshmallows hardens as it cools. Rub a little butter into your hands to prevent sticking, and gently form 12 balls, each about 2 1/2 inches across; place on waxed paper. Let set until cool and firm, about 10 minutes.

Nervous Rex was accidentally formed in June of 2004 by four rock and jazz musicians of curiously diverse backgrounds, who happened to share a passion for music and the desire to express it in its many colors. This formed the basis of a crazy experiment, and a week after formally introducing the members of the band to each other, Nervous Rex played their first gig. The experiment proved to be a success when they were invited back to play the following week.
The band took off faster than anyone would have expected. In their first year, they earned a house band gig, and played at Sturgis on the River and the Rockin' Rib Fest. The band went their own separate ways in early 2007, after two of the members moved to Los Angeles, California. The band had a brief revival with some new members, but the band and the name were officially retired in 2008.
In 2012 Robert returned to the Quad Cities and we reunited the classic lineup of the band for a few shows. Now that Jerry and Vid are playing the old songs together again, "a few shows" just won't do! We've enlisted the guitar and vocal talents of our frequent collaborator, Jeff "Doc VH" VenHorst. Nervous Rex is back together, with an updated sound!
Nervous Rex wants nothing more than for their audience to share their enthusiasm for music. Not ones to rest on their laurels, they challenge themselves with an eclectic and evolving repertoire of old and new songs, mainstream hits, hidden gems, and forgotten wonders. "Unique", "one-of-a-kind", and "unlike any other" are three terms that mean the same thing: Nervous Rex.
From what their audience says, they are fully meeting that objective:
"There's not much these guys don't play. One of the widest varieties I've ever heard in a band. Blues, Country, Classic Rock, Classic Hard Rock, to current hits fresh off the radio, they play it all, and very well. …While I can't dance, I don't think my foot stopped moving the whole set of Nervous Rex's. Jim and I were even singing "Ride Sally Ride" at our table during Mustang Sally. I can't sing, but we couldn't help ourselves. Thanks guys, you capped our night out perfectly." - John Pepping, Rock Beat July 11, 2005
The energy of the band and their love of music never allows them to stand still. Their set list is constantly changing, and they are bound to learn at least one new song a week.
"… the band - all of which plays by ear - prides itself in taking songs hot of the radio and adding them to its setlist …" - David Burke, Quad City Times, June 16, 2005
Member bios:
Jerry Heard - Bass Guitar, Vocals
Jerry Heard brings a remarkably high degree of experience and professionalism to any ensemble that has the privilege of performing with him. Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, Jerry has been playing bass for over 35 years. Currently, he plays in the band Wild Oatz, a Contemporary Country group performing all the latest country hits, but in his career he has played everything from Jazz to Blues, Contemporary Pop to Classic Rock. He also plays and records with The V.J.J. Groove, a blues band preparing to release their debut album of original material.
Prior to joining Wild Oatz, he played in (among others) Stellar Cellar, Why Not?, and Blues Flash. Jerry is a founding member of Nervous Rex.
David "Vid" James - Drums/percussion, Vocals
Vid hails from Miami, Florida, and grew up…everywhere. After settling down in the Quad Cities, he started making his way to local open blues jams, where he met Jerry Heard, with whom he eventually co- founded Nervous Rex.
Vid's experience on the local cover band scene runs the gamut; he is, or has been, a member of Mr. Tripod, TPX, Wicked Nature, The Undertones, The Knockoffs, The Metro Gnomes, and The V.J.J. Groove. He can occasionally be found sitting in with a variety of local bands, as well as The District Theatre band and Circa 21.
Jeff "Doc VH" VenHorst - Guitar, Vocals
Equally skilled in blues, country, and screamin' metal, Doc VH has been a consistent fixture on the music scene for many years as a member of many bands; including The Tommy Knockers, Just Cuz, TPX, The Knockoffs, and the Metro Gnomes. Though new to Nervous Rex, Doc has been playing with us for a long time: along with Vid and Jerry, Jeff plays and records with The V.J.J. Groove.
Robert Geiger - occasional guest on Guitar, Keyboards
Robert is a musician with enormous talent. Originally a keyboard player, Robert started playing guitar after seeing a Stevie Ray Vaughan video, and "wanted to be able to do that". During his 4-year tenure in L.A., he had the opportunity to reconnect with his keyboardist roots, and returned to the Quad Cities with recharged talent on both instruments.

Petitions Filed to Eliminate Half of Climate Damaging HFCs in US: EPA Action Sought to Phase Out Use of Super Greenhouse Gas
WASHINGTON, April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As part of an ongoing effort to bring about a global phase-out of HFCs, the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) has filed a formal petition asking the Environmental Protection Agency to require an end for nearly all uses of the most commonly used fluorocarbon in the U.S., HFC-134a. The filing seeks to withdraw federal approval for most uses of HFC-134a and was submitted as an adjunct to a previous petition by EIA, NRDC and IGSD seeking replacement of HFC-134a in mobile air conditioning systems in favor of available alternatives that have little or no impact on climate.
Since being initially approved in the 1990s as a replacement for ozone depleting substances (ODS), HFC-134a use has grown to include many other applications besides auto and truck AC systems, and is now the most abundant HFC used in the U.S. Domestic refrigerators, foam insulation panels, aerosols, tire-inflators and a host of "frivolous uses" including children's toys, keyboard cleaners and air horns that all commonly use HFC-134a despite the wide availability of inexpensive, equally effective and climate–safe alternatives.
HFC-134a has a global warming potential (GWP) of 1430 (making it 1430 times more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas) and represents approximately half of all HFC use in the U.S. Many countries already use or require the use of low-GWP alternatives to HFCs, e.g., an estimated one billion+ refrigerators in the EU and Asia run on hydrocarbons (GWP <25) rather than HFCs. Although hydrocarbons received EPA approval for use in the U.S. in January, no timetable has yet been established to require their use in domestic refrigerators and freezers or retail stand-alone coolers and freezers.
"Technology has advanced to the extent that HFCs are rapidly becoming obsolete", said Mark W. Roberts, Senior Legal Counsel for EIA. He added, "The increasing availability of low-impact and equally or even superior energy efficient alternatives requires action to phase-out the use of compounds that needlessly contribute to climate change".
HFCs are the fastest growing class of GHGs and best scientific studies estimate that left unchecked they could annually contribute up to 20% as much to global warming by 2050 as CO2. In response, amendment proposals have been submitted every year since 2009 by Micronesia, and by Canada, Mexico and the USA seeking a global phase-down of HFCs under the Montreal Protocol.
The Montreal Protocol is widely regarded as the most successful environmental accord in history as well as the most successful climate treaty. Its efforts to eliminate ODS have already halted the destruction of the Earth's ozone layer and because ODS are also powerful GHGs, the ODS phase-outs have also delayed the onset of acute climate change by more than a decade.
"The United States has demonstrated exemplary leadership and vision in its efforts to control ozone depleting substances and HFCs on a global level", according to Samuel LaBudde, EIA's Senior Atmospheric Campaigner. "U.S. action to phase out HFCs at home is appropriate if not overdue, and will only reinforce the prospect for eliminating HFCs worldwide."
An HFC phase-out under the Montreal Protocol would prevent the equivalent of three years of total fossil fuel emissions from being released and essentially eliminate one of the six classes of greenhouse gases. A recent study commissioned by the EU indicated that HFCs could be eliminated within 13 of the 22 major use sectors by 2020, and in all sectors by 2030. Under EIA's petition to the EPA, as well as the HFC Amendment Proposals, essential-uses like metered dose inhalers and other medical applications that utilize HFCs would be exempted. General Motors has already committed to eliminating HFCs from new models beginning in 2013, and the Consumer Goods Forum that represents over 600 of the world's largest retailers has committed to eliminate HFCs in new refrigeration equipment beginning n 2015.

Montana's Attorney General is getting involved in the battle between the Missoula County Attorney and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Tim Fox sent U.S. District Attorney Michael Cotter a letter on Friday, asking the U.S. Department of Justice to turn over all evidence about sexual assault cases that the agency believes were handled improperly, or not prosecuted, by the Missoula County Attorney's Office.
Fox referenced a 2012 agreement to refer any new evidence of sexual assaults that the DOJ finds to his office. As Montana's Attorney General, Fox supervises locally-elected county attorneys throughout the state.
This letter was sent one week after the DOJ issued a 20-page letter of findings to Missoula County Attorney Fred Van Valkenburg, stating the County Attorney's Office gives women's sexual assault cases low priority and victims are often treated with disrespect.
Fox did note that the DOJ's recent letter sent to the Missoula County Attorney raises public safety and policy issues implicating his responsibilities as Attorney General.
Fox said that he intended to make an independent determination as to what, if any, affirmative steps should be taken to address any issues.
A statement sent to ABC FOX Montana from a spokesperson for U.S. District Attorney Michael Cotter said, "We look forward to continuing our cooperative relationship with the state Attorney General, and we will be in touch with him soon to discuss the information that he as requested."

Today's Word of the Day means...
synapse syn·apse (sĭn'āps', sĭ-nāps')
The junction across which a nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal to a neuron, a muscle cell, or a gland cell.
synapsis syn·ap·sis (sĭ-nāp'sĭs)
n. pl. syn·ap·ses (-sēz)
The side-by-side association of homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes during early meiotic prophase.
The small junction across which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another nerve cell, a muscle cell, or a gland cell. The synapse consists of the synaptic terminal, or presynaptic ending, of a sending neuron, a postsynaptic ending of the receiving cell that contains receptor sites, and the space between them (the synaptic cleft). The synaptic terminal contains neurotransmitters and cell organelles including mitochondria. An electrical impulse in the sending neuron triggers the migration of vesicles containing neurotransmitters toward the membrane of the synaptic terminal. The vesicle membrane fuses with the presynaptic membrane, and the neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors of the connecting cell where they excite or inhibit electrical impulses. See also neurotransmitter.
A gap between two nerve cells. Nerve signals are sent across the gap by neurotransmitters.

As the city of Knoxville begins its one year pilot program for food trucks, other East TN towns have gotten a head start, and they are seeing results.
Jerry Hicks owns a restaurant that may be a little smaller than your every day diner, it even has wheels, and offers a menu not often seen in East Tennessee.
"This is what I wanted to bring. I wanted to bring something new. And I change my menu weekly," said Hicks.
Related: City: Food trucks could begin work downtown Knoxville by April
He owns a food truck called Launa's Iron Skillet. His daughter Launa is the namesake. Hicks started this business seven months ago, and he runs it when he is not busy with his other job-- being a chef in Alaska.
Since he opened shop, business has been good.
"I am doing as good as any brick and mortar restaurant here. I fed about 85 people here for lunch. For this little town that is quite considerable," said Hicks.
His restaurant spices up the food selection in Jacksboro and his customers are noticing. Putting Cajun food on the map in East TN.
"Most of our selection here are fast food and he has a set up here where the food is cooked fresh. It's a little bit different but very tasty. And highly recommended. I hope that Jacksboro will continue to support it and that it will be a big hit here and hopefully grow for the future," said avid customer Tony Crutchfield.
Hicks is certain his restaurant on wheels would thrive in a bigger city but he doesn't want to have to fight for zones and locations for his business.
The only thing he sees in his future is-- "A bigger trailer," he said.
When Hicks started, there were no food trucks in town. Now there are two, including his.

Monty Panesar looks forward to the responsibility of being Essex's matchwinner
7:00pm Wednesday 2nd April 2014 in Sport By George Thorpe
MONTY Panesar said he is looking forward to his role of matchwinner in his first full season at Essex.
The spinner signed a contract to play with the Eagles full time after impressing at the County Ground during a loan spell for the last six weeks of the 2013 season.
Moving ahead into the new season, which starts with a County Championship game with Derbshire on April 13, head coach Paul Grayson said the England international will play a cruicial role for the side this time round.
Speaking at the County Ground yesterday, Panesar said he want to be the man his captain turns to in important situations.
"I thrive on that responsibility of bowling in a tough passage of play," he said.
"I enjoy the battle and when you find yourself in a pressure situation you want to win and as a player you want to get into those situations where you can win the game for your team.
"I like these types of challenges and I like being thrown into the deep end."
Having stayed out in Australia after England's terrible Ashes tour to play Grade cricket, the left armer, who has 166 Test wickets to his name in 49 matches, said he feels ready to go for 2014 for Essex.
He also joked about possibly doing a bit of captaincy for the Eagles this season.
Panesar said: "I decided to stay out in Australia to get my bowling back on track and get back that energy which fans have seen before – and you may even see me do a few of those celebrations here in Chelmsford.
"Getting to play in the MCC game against Durham recently was good fun too and I was lucky that my captain Virender Sehwag allowed me to captain the match for about half and hour.
"Now I'll be going up to Fozzy (James Foster) and asking him to give me a chance halfway through a game, but I'll make sure it is when we're in a dominant position."

Genesee & Wyoming Inc.'s (GWR) consolidated traffic rose 10% in May from a year ago, aided by strong growth in coal and coke shipments.
The railroad operator late last year completed its $1.39 billion acquisition of RailAmerica Inc., a move that combined the two largest short-line and regional-rail operators in North America. Genesee & Wyoming, which also operates freight railroads in Australia and the Netherlands, generally has faced a decline in coal traffic in recent months as a glut of cheap natural gas continues to erode demand.
The company said its consolidated traffic rose last month to 167,527 carloads from 152,361 a year earlier, while same-railroad carloads grew 9%.
Genesee & Wyoming's consolidated traffic volume includes carloads from RailAmerica for both periods.
Carloads of coal and coke--the largest segment--rose about 26% to 28,079.
Among the largest gainers, petroleum-products carloads were up 77% to 9,746, and autos and auto parts carloads were up 34% to 3,620.
The biggest decliner was food or kindred products, which dropped 10% to 4,545 carloads.
Last month, Genesee said its first-quarter profit surged as revenue climbed and the company had a large tax credit. Still, core results missed Wall Street views.
Class A shares closed Tuesday at $88.55 and were inactive premarket. The stock is up 16% so far this year.

Love this chest
Dipen from NY– Verified Buyer
We love the look of this linen chest. It looks great in our bedroom. The reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because I wish the drawers were a little deeper (length-wise).
Wendy from United States
This is a beautiful mirrored linen chest. It looks great in my home. The order was part of the White Glove service and they put it together for me. Very nice quality chest.
Cathy from Nevada City, CA– Verified Buyer
Nice looking piece of furniture. Has more of an antiqued finish than expected and drawers are fairly small and do not glide as smoothly as on some other chests of drawers. This is a piece you can add to an existing bedroom set you may already have to gain more storage, since it goes with many styles of wood or painted furniture.

James Wallace & the Naked Light
Teen Men
DC9 Nightclub
1940 9th St. NW
Washington, DC, 20001
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 8:30 PM
This event is all ages
It was once said that James Wallace would be the kind of guy you'd want on your side if you ever got into a music fight in prison. He'd probably tell you that too, just to clarify his position on not getting into a real fight in prison. That said, his penchant for dark and clever wordplay above eerily-cheery melodies, begs there may be a few twisted stories from his past that we've yet to hear.
Similar to what has often been said of Belle and Sebastian's earlier works, More Strange News From Another Star captures a distinct vintage quality channeled from some non-existent folk music period of decades past. Often referenced to Paul Simon in vocal range and use of textured percussion, Wallace's writing showcases a similar love of African music and Gospel harmonies. But more often than not, his band heads into the more ramshackle, go-for-broke qualities of the early Kinks. A kind of Rock and Roll bred with cacophony that balances eerily well beneath Wallace's falsetto.
As for the influences in his stories, that is quite the rabbit hole to explore. Whether they be cited from one of his many wandering trips to China, his short residency as a piano player for a small Black Mennonite Church in Appalachia, or an oft mentioned tale about a mysterious box of letters found in an abandoned storehouse concerning aliens and the end of the world, Wallace seems to have a lot to draw on, and that well doesn't seem to be running dry anytime soon.

I was sitting outside in May and saw –just as so many people must have thought before me–that if you spend some time looking into these things that are growing that you could find deep whirlpools for your interest (the geometry of growth, the why of this or that, etc) if you wanted that, or you could just sit and more passively have an experience. Either way you could never touch bottom. Lately, when I feel myself getting pulled such a little–really, unassuming–whirlpool, I'm trying to make it a point to draw that thing that acts like a nexus, and follow it in. Though I don't think there is anything more authentic than interfacing with its face. It is the face of reality, infinitely authentic at every level. And also not drawing it for the sake of the depiction, but as a method to spend time out there with it. Out there….within….I want that contour to dissolve.
Then I made a print so I could share something of it with other people. It's a separate idea maybe, but coming from the same place. It's like I'm pointing to the same thing the nexus opened to. Not restricted by location…a non-local…node…connection…. (And now this idea disintegrating into my own uncongealed thinking/feeling about it.)
This post is that too.
Album Design
If you'd like me to apply myself to a project you're working on just email me so we can discuss what you want, compensation, and timelines. Here are some of the album package designs/concepts I've created for some very talented musicians in the past. I'll update this post with any new album designs I do, but only the FOUR most recent will appear. Please click the 'continue reading' link below to see the full post with all the designs.
If you want to buy any of these albums directly from the artists just click their link above the image.
Silence Blossoms – Silence Blossoms
As an alternative to the physical CD of their album, I also made a poster (that comes with a download code for the album). I used stippling to create the explorer/spaceman in the image, and used micron 0.3 to 0.8 pens to do it. Take a closer, zoomed in look. It'll be worth it!
Silence Blossoms – Silence Blossoms
I made 300 of these by hand! Each one linocut print with hand-painted red 'atmosphere', and some with hand-painted silver 'spaceman'
The inserts look pretty good too!
I made the originals using watercolors and ink
And here I'm mentioned in a little Swedish press. It translates to: "Angela Guytons pictures also have an important function in the musical context" "It (Silence Blossoms) is art-music, music which is art"
Silence Blossoms – Rememberance single

a teacher encouraged me to make more. as much as possible. if possible everyday. and if not possible to see why not. and eliminate the situation(s) that would inhibit this way of being. With this to learn. see. experience. that the scope of my tendencies.ideas are not as significant as just doing if the two things are in conflict. constant doing. this is what to do as my practice. I saw myself seated at the same wooden table day after day. and then lived and felt that vision. and really it said it didn't even matter when a work was done, because that is decided from within the scope of my inclinations.
I'm going to make something else now. This work is the latest of it's line. perhaps last the last?…perhaps for now…really this decision is no matter.
Here you can see the others:
A Mundane Transcendental Object

Friend, Mauricio Pauly invited me to make this documentary of a project he was a part of with two other composers and two performers. This experiment in collaboration shows the early stages of the process that would eventually birth three new contemporary music works.
Here is the post I made November 23, 2013 for the teaser…
Here's the teaser for a video I'm making that documents the interaction between three composers and two performers in a sort of experiment in collaboration.
Sam's Bedroom Solo
Sam Andreae came over last night to give Rod and I a private concert of his new solo jam, in our bedroom!
I made these a year ago but I wasn't ready to let anyone see them. I worked on these everyday for a while then. They're a dialogue I was trying to open up to. Between me and me…or the universe and the universe. They are both, and they are silly. They're little drawings, because as it turns out the universe is ridiculous sometimes.
That's Helmut Lemke. He was my teacher for a while.
That's my husband, Rod. We don't always see eye to eye.
or their evolved imprints…I don't remember what that means now.
Nothing Solid
A competitive birdwatcher would never wear reflective glasses and risk the ricochet sneak peek.
Here's what happened when I asked Rod to interpret these drawings
Filming for Silence Blossoms
Silence Blossoms is one of my favorite bands, and they've made me their fourth member! Here are some vids I've made for them. I'll update this post as and when a new video is made, with the most recent appearing first.
April 26, 2014 – Dancer, with a guest appearance from Rodrigo Constanzo performed at John Rylands Library in Manchester.

September 30, 2013 – Silence Blossoms makes my heart swell. I tried to make a video that could be 1/10th as good as the music they make. Behold their first single, Lady White, off their new album.
Silence Blossoms in the Studio. I'm putting together a short video that will include footage from one of the recording sessions for the new album.

I Release
This is a long night of letting go.
I need to trust that if a part of it is magic,
it is all magic.
I want to hold on,
but instead I need to release.
I offer up even this part.
This half-dead,
most damaged part of you,
that I wanted nothing more
than to hold and heal.
So I release even this part.
I offer it up to nature
And put my trust in it.
I hope you thrive
and grow towards love
even if without me.
"The offering up or cleaning up ego stuff is called purification. Purification is the act of letting go. This is done out of discriminative awareness. That is, you understand that you are an entity passing through a life in which the entire drama is an offering for your awakening. You see that the life experience is a vehicle for coming to God, or becoming conscious, for becoming liberated. And you understand ultimately that's what you are doing here."
Excerpt from Ram Dass' book "Polishing the Mirror"
I believe "I Release" is my first (and only) alchemical creation. I cannot remember any others.

You and me and us and me and you
About a year back I decided I wanted to make work that I could just make on my own, spontaneously and anywhere. I was reacting against the Takahashi pre-performance preparation that had to happen. At the time, they required other people, stretching canvas, setting up electronics equipment, a projector, and then having all the things communicate with each other. It was hard to do spontaneously. So I decided to just draw. White paper. Black pen. And me.
In tandem with those drawings I started becoming curious about color. There was shift in the Takahashi performances from paint to [colored] light, and this set up no longer required me to stretch a canvas or use a projector–another move towards pre-performance simplicity (though pursuing this colored light stand wasn't done for that purpose specifically). I could just plug in and go. Though it's still very technology heavy, spontaneity and technology are not in opposition. So now, working in the muck of the Takahashi lights and the ink drawings, it felt to me like I was exploring two things: precise line work (absent of the consideration for color), and expansive pure color.
Yesterday, during a Takahashi rehearsal with Linda Jankowska and Rodrigo Constanzo it occurred to me the water color works are actually perfect for use in the Takahashi light set-up. It's like one part of my brain has just let another part of my brain in on what it's been working on. I think these works are somehow perfect populators of the Color Picker sample space (the color granular synthesis max patch), which before only had a "place-holder" image. I really want everything to be personal, and resonate with me. The body of line drawing work I've been doing, now with the addition of water colors, are hugely significant to me and this period of my life–creative and personal. So here we are.
I just want to make beautiful things…and it feels like an explosion.

Sam's Basement
Sam Andreae wanted to hold concerts in his basement for upload to the web. Sam's Basement is so small that only the guest artist, he, and I are often the only people that can attend the performances live (good too, cuz we have to record it.).

Broadcasting marathon raises cash for hospital trust's radio station
12:11pm Wednesday 23rd April 2014 in News
A MARATHON radio broadcast has gone out across Morecambe Bay to raise money for the hospital trust's station.
Kendal town crier Richard Mathews launched the 60-hour event, which was transmitted by Bay Trust Radio from Elephant Yard, Kendal, the Glebe at Bowness and the Royal Lancaster Infirmary over the Easter weekend.
The two-and-a-half-day event saw the station – which is broadcast across the sites run by the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust (UHMBT) – play performances from singers Kev Kendal and Sam Davidson, as well as the Milnthorpe Steel Band.
There was also a prize draw and a fundraising line was set up for listeners to donate via text.
"The team have set an ambitious target and the money raised will help make sure Bay Trust Radio can keep going," explained John Williamson, president of Bay Trust Radio.
And Barry Rigg, engagement manager for UHMBT, said: "Hospital radio provides a lifeline for our patients."
The hospital radio began in Kendal in February 1977 with live broadcasts to the Westmorland County Hospital.

Kelly Olynyk and the No. 1 seed Gonzaga Bulldogs were upset by the No. 9 Wichita State Shockers 76-70 in the third round of the NCAA tournament.
Olynyk struggled with the physicality of Wichita State, but still found a way to impact the game. The center finished 8 of 20 from the field, but scored 26 points. He also grabbed eight rebounds, including six on the offensive end. He also shot 10-14 from the charity stripe, contributing despite his struggles from the field.
Olynyk is considered one of the more offensively skilled big men in the NBA draft. The seven-footer used a redshirt seasons to improve his strength and his low-post game, allowing him to become a more versatile scorer. Olynyk is also a skilled shooter, as he can catch-and-shoot off screens and can shoot three three-point shot as the trailer on a break.
The center is older than most of the draft class, so he is ceiling is lower than some of his other big men. He also is an average rebounder and a below-average defender, but his a high-motor and is athletic enough to make some improvements.
Currently, Olynyk is currently slotted in the mid-first round of the draft, with some mock drafts projecting him to be selected late in the lottery.

Despite all of L.C. Bird High School's success in football, there was one thing none of its team had accomplished: No Bird football team with a perfect 10-0 regular season record has been able to win a playoff game.
It was business as usual for the L.C. Bird Skyhawks Friday, as they finished their season at a perfect 10-0, defeating Midlothian by a score of 41-0 in Dominion District football action. The win secured their seat as the top seed in the Division 6 regional playoffs. A major milestone was also reached, as Bird's Yahkee Johnson rushed for 174 yards against Midlothian, bringing his season total to 2,001 yards. The team also employed the stifling defense Bird fans have been accustomed to all season.
The Village News is pleased to announce 15 high school athletes as its Athletes of the Year and Scholar-Athletes of the Year in each of the five fall sports.
The newspaper clipping from last year was on the sideline as motivation to win, and a Vince Lombardi quote adorned a sign held by Meadowbrook's players as they charged onto the field to the sounds of Guns N' Roses Welcome to the Jungle.

Universal music has released a new 40th anniversary edition of one of the highlights of Neil Diamond's career, the classic Hot August Night.
Back in 1972, Neil Diamond said at the show, "This is gonna be special. I promised that before I came back to this theater that we would do things for you that you would not forget for a while and that's what we're about tonight."
On August 24, 1972, the 30 year old Neil Diamond took over the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles for a 10 night run. The album peaked at number 5 in the U.S. and spent a massive 29 weeks at number one in Australia.
The new release of the album will include previously unreleased songs recorded at the show.
The album is celebrated with a fully remastered, 40th Anniversary deluxe edition reissue, with additional tracks, unseen photos and more; all housed in beautiful foldout packaging – personally overseen by Neil Diamond.
A Modern Day Version Of Love is one of his songs from 1968 finally featured on the new record. The Randy Newman-penned I Think It's Going To Rain Today was left off the original. The song Gitchy Goomy, he introduces as a philosophy lesson to a child learning about life.
Watch below as Neil Diamond sings his classic "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" in 2001.

I almost pulled the trigger on the Aegis case, but held off.
Hey twister6, reviewing your case reviews (for the GN2), I see you have evaluated the Seidio Active, The UAG, and the Aegis (to name but a few). I don't recall if you've reviewed the Speck CandyShell or not.
I currently have the Speck CS and like the size, but find the case a bit too slick for me. If I have it laying face down on a flat surface, I find it difficult to pick up.
The above mentioned cases are under consideration to replace the Speck, but I'd like your insight since you've seen/tested the GN2 equivalents. I had the Seidio Active case for the GN2, but dumped it when I swapped out the GN2 for the GS4.
I want a case that will let me either slip it in my back pocket or carry it in a belt holster/pouch... oversized enough to accomodate the GS4 with whichever case I end up with.
How would you rate the Seidio Active vs the Aegis vs the UAG? I know the Active case has enough silicon outside the hard plastic shell to give me enough to hold onto when I pick it up. But I don't particularly care for the kickstand feature and how it adds bulk to the overall case.
I like the size of the Speck. If it had some of the lighter gray material on the sides to help with grip, I would probably keep it. But that gray material is only on the buttons and around the lip /face of the phone. Also, I find the Speck volume/power buttons very easy to work which is a big plus.
Bottom line, I'd like to hear a comparison of those 3 cases in terms of size (additional bulk), button operation, and case slickness when picking it up from a face down position... and anything else you might think pertinent.
Edit 1: Here's a holster/pouch that I might be interested in if the GS4 and one of the above cases is a good fit.

Edit 2: According to this page, the Aegis measures 5.80 x 3.10 x 0.6. I'm not sure it will fit comfortably in this case which says it accommodates 5.75 x 3.0 x 0.75 dimensions. It may be close, but it may be tight hindering access. If this is true, how does the Aegis case compare in size to the others?
