Intransa adds 10GbE technology to VideoAppliance product line
New technology built into Maximum Flexibility Server Appliances, Maximum Choice Security Servers
CUPERTINO, California – July 19, 2010 – Intransa, the VideoAppliance company, has announced that its award-winning 10GbE technology is now available on its customer proven Intransa VideoAppliance product family. Intransa's Maximum Flexibility Server Appliances and Maximum Choice Security Servers now leverage the full power of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) to meet the needs of the most demanding video surveillance, industrial video and physical security projects, while providing unmatched simplicity, scalability and savings.
The addition of 10GbE technology to the Intransa VideoAppliance line enables higher speeds while allowing large, robust networks to support more connected 1GbE devices including IP cameras, access control devices, life safety systems and other physical security technologies that support 1GbE. The addition also supports direct connection with 10 Gigabit (Gb) infrastructure and network enabled devices for maximum throughput and reduced equipment needs.
"IT users found that 10GbE offers similar performance and reliability to more expensive, complex and distance-limited Fibre Channel SANs," said Alan Rowe, Intransa CTO. "Intransa expects that those same benefits will be leveraged by a growing number of physical security users with easy-to-deploy and use Intransa VideoAppliance platforms."
Intransa's four new Maximum Flexibility Server Appliances – the VA25as, VA25as-3, VA35as and VA35as-3 - ship with the customers' choice of leading video management software on preloaded media kits from any of nine industry leading vendors. With the latest Intel microprocessors and the other technology enhancements, the Server Appliances offer enhanced performance, ranging from 1 to 154 typical IP cameras with a single appliance.
Also offering 10GbE speed are four Intransa Maximum Flexibility Security Servers, suitable for video surveillance, access control, life safety, video analytics, PSIM and much more. The new SR950, SR950-3, SR960 and SR960-3 Security Servers share the same advanced technology as the Server Appliances and provide 2TB of hot-swap, RAID protected storage. Each Security Server can expand its capacity further with Storage Appliances from the Maximum Flexibility line, as needed.
The full Intransa VideoAppliance family eliminates the need for commodity servers that are uncertified and complicated to integrate into a physical security environment. Each product ships with the choice of Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 to meet standard corporate requirements and to provide flexibility to security departments that typically mix-and-match Server Appliances with companion Storage Appliances for complete, flexible and scalable appliance platform solutions. Intransa's individual Storage Appliances deliver 2 to 80TB of hot-swap, RAID protected & modular video storage.
Until now, both server and storage platforms have not been extensively tested and certified for 10GbE use and the unique demands of physical security. Intransa rolled out a formal, successful industry certification program for 10GbE IP storage products three years ago, the first of its kind. The program now enables certification of 10GbE servers enabling a wide range of physical security vendors to leverage the power of the company's Maximum Availability video storage, Maximum Flexibility Server Appliances and Maximum Choice Security Servers for risk-free integration.

1) How long have you been blogging for? What made you start? - I've been blogging for a couple of years now but started my personal one last March. I started because everyday I was reading my favorite blogs, magazines, or style sites and was finding amazing photos that inspired me but had no outlet to share them with others.
2) How would you describe your aesthetic? - I would describe my blogs aesthetic as a clean slate with soft fonts and colours that accentuate each post and photo. I want it to feel like a breath of fresh air - a place where people love to go to unwind, a place where others go to be inspired just as i am. I also love gold…you'll notice a lot of posts that talk about gold accents - goes with my blog's slogan "when life gives you lemons paint them gold".
3) Your perfect outfit consists of? - for fall my perfect outfit consists of flat over the knee boots, riding pants (i just found these amazing dark green ones with brown suede on the inside at Gap!), and a chunky cream knit sweater.
4) A Fall trend you can't live without… - Hats! I have some incredible Kangol ones for fall that i'm loving. A little wine coloured beret, a dark flannel baseball cap with leather details, & a grey 507 (newsboys cap style). I think hats are coming back in a BIG way & I couldn't be happier about it.
5) One thing on your bucket list you have to do… - Travel to Greece with my boyfriend and stay in one of those tiny little white villages along the Mediterranean. Waisting away in the sun sipping sangria and living in linen…clearly i've thought about it a few times.
Get ready this Friday for our Black Friday sales!! Things are on sale until the end of Monday (aka. Cyber Monday). Enjoy :)

#1 - Throw on a chic, basic top You know that go-to, basic sweater you love? Well, here's another reason why you should throw it on for the day. What we love about this Rose Velvet Top? It's soooooo soft.
#2 - A fur vest We think you've figured out that we love fur…or faux. But put it in on a vest and we just can't say no. A vest is great to keep you warm and adds to the basic top that you oh-so-love-so-much! What we love about this Black and White Faux Fur Vest? We think we've said enough.
#3 - Midi Skirt of Your Choice Here's your chance to be really creative. We really love the mixed print trend because it let's our minds just go wildly creative. Paisley is a to-die-for print for the Fall/Winter, don't you think? What we love about these Navy Paisley Pleated Maxi Skirt? Who can say no to paisley?
#4 - Your Favourite Necklace We know we said 3 - but we thought this would be a bonus. And who doesn't love accessories? Gladiator Vintage Chain Necklace? Jewelry are a girl's best friend (if not, second best friend)
1) How long have you been blogging for? What made you start? 1. I've ben blogging since May 2009. Another eurotrash girl and I were planning a summer trip to the Amalfi Coast. I suggested we start a blog about what our plans, what we were gonna bring, what we were gonna buy and how it feels to be on a yacht all day. We called it Whatever Eurotrash because we had already come up with that title in 2004 while in Florence. We thought it was the perfect name to describe our M.O.
2) How would you describe your aesthetic? 2. My aesthetic is Eurotrash: an esoteric person or thing that embodies a hedonistic lifestyle of luxury and high fashion with an open contempt for the mainstream - while at the same time does not strive for either. (Taken from my website's credo). I love vintage pieces and mixing them with fab finds I've hunted down on trips to Europe and L.A. You can't be Eurotrash without a great pair of faceshields (glasses). Eyewear is the lynchpin of the Eurotrash aesthetic.
3) Your perfect outfit consists of? 3. From top to bottom: a wow-factor pair of glasses; anything with a Mickey Mouse or skull print on it; a vintage blazer; Notify jeans from Luisa Via Roma circa 2004; BOOTS (anything from Camilla Skovgaard, to Kirkwood, to Gucci) if it's summer though, a rundown pair of sneakers; a Balenciaga first bag in any friggin colour of the rainbow; skull jewelry.
4) A Fall trend you can't live without… 4. Fall trend i can't live without? Bright coloured pants. My sis bought a pair of emerald greens from The Gap and my bestie got apple red skinnies from Zara… I haven't decided what colour to get yet! I'll probably get cobalt blue, red and mustard yellow. Owwww!
5) One thing on your bucket list you have to do 5. Go to Rio De Janeiro and hand glide off the Jesus Statue at Corcovado.

Wideout Jaron Brown added a 7-yard reception. They'll all visit the Cowboys in Week 9.
John Brown led the way, gaining 41 yards on two receptions. He also received one carry, but lost five yards. Tight end John Carlson also caught two passes, gaining 20 yards. Ted Ginn Jr. caught one ball for 19 yards. He also fumbled, but the Cardinals managed to recover.
Jaron Brown picked up 9 yards on a reception, and Rob Housler gained 7 yards on his only catch.
All five players will take on the Eagles Week 8.
John Brown, John Carlson, Alex Okafor, Patrick Peterson, Frostee Rucker and Alameda Ta'amu are all active for the contest. Carlson, Rucker and Ta'amu all entered the game questionable.
Deemed questionable were tight end John Carlson (knee), inside linebacker Glenn Carson, defensive end Frostee Rucker (calf) and defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu (illness). Meanwhile, wide receiver John Brown (hamstring), Andre Ellington (foot), wide receiver Michael Floyd (groin), outside linebacker Alex Okafor (quad), quarterback Carson Palmer (shoulder) and Patrick Peterson (ankle) were all labeled as probable on the report.
Tight end John Carlson hauled in two catches for 19 yards. John Brown also caught two passes, but only gained 4 yards. Ted Ginn didn't catch a pass, but had a rushing attempt that went for -1 yards.
All three players will take on Washington Week 6.
Running back Robert Hughes caught a 7-yard pass. Wideout Jaron Brown had a 6-yard catch.
Carlson was released by the Vikings earlier this week. In 2013, Carlson had 32 catches for 344 yards and one touchdown.
Carlson was released by the Vikings earlier this week.
He was scheduled to earn $3.9 million in 2014.
Carlson finishes the season with 32 receptions for 344 yards and a touchdown.
Peterson and Gerhart will not play, leaving Matt Asiata with the full-time workload. Rhodes and Fusco were listed as doubtful heading into the game.
Carlson is dealing with a concussion, and has not practiced all week. Rhodes has an ankle injury, and was also held out of practice. Robinson is dealing with a chest issue.
Frazier also announced Monday starting tight end Kyle Rudolph will miss the rest of the season because of a foot injury he suffered Week 9.
Carlson was held to two catches for 19 yards before leaving the game in the second half. He was targeted four times.
The Vikings are back in action Week 15 vs. Philadelphia.
Tight ends haven't had great success against Baltimore. They average just 57.8 receiving yards and 7.3 Fantasy points per week. Tight ends have totaled just five touchdowns in 12 games and none in the last four games.
Carlson has averaged 66 receiving yards in his last four games and has filled in nicely for Rudolph. However, he isn't a great Fantasy option in standard formats. He could pass as a desperation option in PPR leagues, but Carlson doesn't have much Fantasy value Week 14.
Carlson was held to one catch for 6 yards in the first half and started to play better after Matt Cassel replaced Christian Ponder (concussion) at quarterback in the second half. Carlson has surpassed 60 receiving yards in three of his last four games, but he doesn't have a touchdown in three straight games.
The Vikings are back in action Week 14 at Baltimore.
Carlson did put together a few nice games before having an off-game Week 12 at Green Bay. Perhaps he will get back on track Sunday against the Bears.
Tight ends average 71.6 receiving yards and 8.5 Fantasy points per week against Chicago. However, tight ends have totaled just three touchdowns in 11 games against the Bears.
Rudolph is getting closer to a return, so Carlson's time as a viable Fantasy option could be nearing an end. Rudolph is still out Week 13, but the matchup isn't ideal for Carlson, who projects as more of a No. 2 Fantasy tight end.
He was targeted five times and his longest catch went 15 yards. The Vikings are back in action Week 13 vs. Chicago.
Tight ends are averaging 57.8 receiving yards and 7.8 Fantasy points per week against Green Bay. Though, the Packers have played well against tight ends as of late. Tight ends have no touchdowns in the last four games after totaling five in the first six games, while averaging 34.3 receiving yards and 3.0 Fantasy points in the last four games.
Carlson played pretty well against a good defense last week in Seattle, though he didn't get a touchdown, which resulted in a pretty average Fantasy day in standard formats. The Packers don't present the easiest matchup for Carlson, so despite his recent run lately, there's plenty of potential for a letdown Week 12.
Among the receivers making minor contributions to the loss against the Cowboys was wideout Jarius Wright. Wright caught three passes for 31 yards in the game. He saw five targets from Ponder.
Wide receiver Jerome Simpson caught two passes for 24 yards in the game. He saw five targets as well. Rookie Cordarrelle Patterson, who is also a return man for the Vikings, had three grabs for 13 yards.
Tight end John Carlson had four receptions in the game for 23 yards. He saw six targets to finish second on the team behind Greg Jennings. Fullback Jerome Felton had one catch for 11 yards and backup RB Toby Gerhart had one grab for 6. Minnesota next takes the field Week 10 on Thursday at home against Washington.
Carlson visits Dallas in Week 9.
Wright was targeted five times, fourth-most on the team.
The Vikings face the Giants in Week 7, on Monday night.
"Every football player knows if you don't perform or are continually injured, ultimately you're not going to be playing anymore," Carlson said. "You have to continually remind yourself in the grind you don't know how long it's going to last. Training camp's a grind, but I love the fact that I can be out here, and I'm thankful for the opportunity."

I read Fareed Zakaria's article "There's one party to blame for the gridlock" (Feb. 19) with little amusement. An illegal immigrant by definition is someone in the country illegally!

As a child of immigrants I can appreciate what a challenge it is to come to this country. When my folks left Ireland in 1949 to come to the United States they were treated fairly. They were told that they needed sponsors before they came here, as did every other immigrant to the USA. The […]
Deportation isn't 'horrible treatment'
08/16/13 at 4:55pm by Letters Editor | Comments
The letter "Immigration reform for the common good" (Aug. 11) comments about the "horrible" treatment of illegals being transported back to their home country. These are people breaking our federal laws. I hardly think being bused, by train and by air, is hardly "horrible." If you ready want to hear about the "horrible" treatment of […]

I attended a panel discussion on immigration reform in West Chester. The panel consisted of a dreamer, an immigration attorney, a member of the clergy, an economist, and an activist. The information shared pointed to the benefit of immigrants to the social and economic future of the United States. I participated in a rally in […]

Regarding "Immigration bill reflects our ideals" (Aug. 1): The Rev.

Mathew may or may not have heard Jesus say, " I was a […]
Granting citizenship to immigrants is a ploy for votes
07/31/13 at 11:57am by Letters Editor | Comments
Let's see if I can figure this out. If I break the laws of our country, I will, no doubt, receive the appropriate punishment for it. An illegal immigrant has, by the very fact that he's in our country, broken one or more laws of our country. Will he (or she) get punished for breaking […]
Dems only tolerate immigrants to increase their base
07/23/13 at 12:01pm by Letters Editor | Comments
If illegal immigrants were likely to vote Republican, the Democrats would have closed the border and exported illegals before the first amnesty program in 1986. There would be no talk of amnesty or fairness; only of respect for the law and the drain on public resources – and how quickly could they be rounded up […]
Democrats do not control the government
07/13/13 at 6:04am by Letters Editor | Comments
Republican leaders were reported to have said that the American people want border security, etc., and would not support an immigration plan by a government controlled by the Democratic Party ("Study: Immigration reform would net $23M more for Ky.," July 11). I urge all politicians to stop saying, "The American people want. …" In my […]
Boehner has acted like a follower, not a leader
07/12/13 at 9:12am by Letters Editor | Comments
Two articles regarding immigration reform in the July 10 Enquirer put into perspective the position in which Republican House Speaker John Boehner finds himself. His caucus is divided between those members who are more concerned with their primary challenges and the ensuing elections and those whose concerns are the future viability of their Republican Party.

The Happiness Treatment explores happiness through helping others, organizations bringing happiness to the world, and people's personal stories.
We had the great pleasure of sitting down with Portland singer songwriter, Candice Russell, to chat about happiness and her struggles with Graves' Disease. She performed two beautiful acoustic songs. "So Much More" off her new album of the same name, and an amazing cover of Katy Perry's "Roar." Hope you enjoy!
Follow Candice Russell on Twitter at www.twitter.com/CandiceRusselll
Stay connected with The Happiness Treatment by following us at www.twitter.com/happinesstreat
There are those who sing and then there are those who were made to sing. Candice Russell was made to sing. She is a 21 year old pop singer and songwriter who has just released her debut album called So Much More. Her seemingly effortless, rich, pure vocal tone, her smooth vocal runs and the passion that comes through in her voice, make for an extremely satisfying listening experience. As one label executive said, "She is very easy on the ears."
Candice's songwriting is real, honest, and vulnerable, yet she is positive, determined and confident. She knows who she is, but she doesn't see herself as above others. She sings, writes and performs to make others feel good about themselves, not to make others feel good about her. "I want to reach people with music that I have written and hopefully uplift and help them," she says. All of the songs on this new album are original and from the context of her own real life experiences.
The artists that have impacted Candice are Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Paramore, Colbie Caillat and Carrie Underwood. The combination of these artists and what she has learned from her personal mentors and coaches has helped Candice find a unique blend that has resulted in her own cool and appealing sound.
Candice grew up singing in the church. Her mom was amazed when she first heard Candice singing "Jesus Loves Me" with perfect pitch when she was just one year old. Her poise as a child singing in the choir and her solos in high school caused many to say this girl has the "IT" factor.
At the age of sixteen, Candice won a state wide singer-songwriting contest at the Oregon Fine Arts Festival. In 2012, she went to Hollywood on American Idol, Season 11, as a teenager. She also made it into the showcase final as a singer-songwriter at AMTC's Shine event in Orlando in 2012. She has been seasoned by competitions and great mentors and now she is ready to share with the world the songs that have been cultivated and developed behind the scenes in the last year.
Soon after her time on American Idol, Candice met Dave Lubben, who is a veteran artist, songwriter and producer in Portland, Oregon. Among his many credits is producing the band Kutless. Candice collaborated with Dave Lubben and her brother, Aaron Russell (who also assisted in production), to write all ten of the new and original songs on this project. This album was recorded using top studio musicians from Los Angeles, Nashville and Portland. The results have yielded a high quality, radio ready-album.
The things Candice values most are her faith, family and friends. In many ways she is just normal, but her ability to transfer what is in her heart into art flowing through her fingers to the guitar and resonating through her voice to release flawless, passionate vocals is not at all typical. The lyrics on her album are thoughtful and deep, but also smart, witty and just plain fun at times. All this makes her an extremely intriguing artist to listen to and follow.
Other fun and interesting facts about Candice:
• She worked as a commercial model in Portland, Oregon.
• She was a very good athlete in high school, where she led her soccer team in scoring and still holds the record in girls track for the long and triple jumps.
• Her favorite thing is hanging out with her friends.
• She loves to laugh.
• She feels deep emotion for people who are hurting.
• She has a heart to help young women across the world to be rescued from sex-trafficking.
• The guitar she plays in concerts was one her grandpa owned and played before he gave it to her.

For more information about Green Wish visit www.greenwish.com
Green Wish is a grassroots, non-profit organization that funds local, green organizations through customers' small donations at local retailers. Put simply: We're a charity that helps fund the green projects in your neighborhood!
Green Wish was founded in 2009 by actor/producer Raphael Sbarge, after the birth of his first child, "I was struck by how alive I suddenly felt as a father," he explained. "Conversely, I also felt remarkably vulnerable and defenseless to protect this little person's journey in a world as vast and complex as ours. I had to ask, 'What can we do to contribute in any small way to leave the world a better place than when we found it?'"
The answer: Green Wish – we help people to support a movement – not just one organization, but multiple ones. When you donate to Green Wish, you're actually helping numerous environmental groups, right in your own community.
Green Wish partners with local retailers, which place our donation cards right at their cash registers. Customers can "buy" and add Green Wish donations on to their purchase at the retailer.
These donations are collected by local Green Wish chapters and distributed regularly to area organizations that have been carefully vetted. The board of directors in each chapter evaluates and selects deserving organizations with track records of good work across the green spectrum, focusing on air, water, earth and environmental education. Ninety cents of every dollar goes to your local green groups.
We started in Los Angeles with a chapter supporting nine organizations in Southern California. We are spreading across the country with the ultimate goal to start Green Wish chapters across the country, all supporting groups in their communities. Join us!
It was such an honor to chat with surfing legend and musician, Tom Curren, during a recent stop in Portland, OR. He performed two wonderful acoustic songs for us and talked about what happiness means to him, how critical he is of his own songwriting, and music that lifts him up. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Tom Curren.
Follow Tom Curren on Twitter at www.twitter.com/currenspam
Tom Curren (born July 3, 1964, in Santa Barbara, California) is an American surfer. He was born to father Pat (big-wave legend and shaper) and mother Jeanine. His brother Joe is also a professional surfer and popular photographer and he also has a sister named Anna.
Curren grew up raised primarily by his mother, and spent much of his free time in the ocean. Taught to surf by his father, who was a big wave rider, Curren drew on his lineage and had a natural affinity for the ocean and the long sectioning point surf of Rincon Point, near his home in Santa Barbara. He progressed quickly and drew the attention of the surf media.
Curren also was a natural competitor and contrary to his introverted personality, reveled in heated competitions in the NSSA, which at the time was California's premier amateur surfing body. Slowly, he was seeded into professional events and he handily beat all comers. By the time Curren hit the ASP World Tour in 1983, he was taking out veteran pros such as Rabbit Bartholomew, Shaun Tomson, and Cheyne Horan. He really hit his stride in 1985, and took down his first world title.
He was world champion three times - 1985, 1986, 1990, and won 33 championship events in his professional career, a total only bested by Kelly Slater. He achieved near-mythical status both for his competitive drive and for his smooth, powerful surfing style. He made a high-profile decision to retire from competitive surfing in the mid-1990s. He led the surfing revolution in the early '80s and inspired many of the surfers today, showing them how to surf a wave. Curren is a fascinating study in contradictions; he has a surfing style that at combines smooth, rhythmic, seamlesslesly linked maneuvers with blinding speed,raw power, and unique check turns and body English. He seems to relish victory and the spoils that come with it, and yet he is unassuming, publicity shy, and extremely private. It is these compelling characteristics that endear him to global surfing community.
Curren still surfs in contests on the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS.) He is also often invited to surf in World Championship Tour (WCT) trials or contests as a wildcard. He has competed in the Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am Surf Contest for 3 years in a row, surfing on the Switchfoot team.
In his five year rise to World Surfing Champion, Curren led the way in cutting edge, perfectly tuned performance. Despite his youth, Curren was acknowledged as one of surfing's true geniuses and a soulful original. He single handedly challenged the surfing community in almost every area of surfing's culture and altered the mindset of hundreds of thousands of surfers around the world. Riding under a contract with surfboard company Channel Islands, Tom Curren developed a memorable surfing career co-producing and riding many pro surfboard models such as the Black Beauty and the Red Beauty.
It was a true honor to talk with actor, director and producer, Tim Matheson, on the beach in beautiful Marina del Rey. Tim is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the smooth-talking Eric "Otter" Stratton in the 1978 comedy National Lampoon's Animal House and the bitter Vice President John Hoynes in the NBC drama, The West Wing. Currently he plays Dr. Brick Breeland in Hart of Dixie. We hope you enjoy this interview as he shares what makes him happy, what he has learned about himself through his career, the music that lifts him up, his process for playing a villain, and so much more.

It was a blast to spend an afternoon with the lovely Carmen and Camille, as they talked about what happiness means to them, their happy playlist, and as they performed an acoustic version of their song, Big Love, off their upcoming EP. Hope you enjoy!
Follow Carmen and Camille on Twitter at www.twitter.com/carmencamille
Carmen and Camille's meteoric rise in the Canadian music scene, culminating with a Juno nomination for their single Shine 4U, is due in large part to the dedicated fans at the forefront of every stage they step on to. The single shone brightly as hundreds of remixes popped up all over the globe and accolades from fans and industry alike poured in.
The rest is hard work, intuition and dedication but if you asked the pop duo if they ever doubted their career, they said they always had a feeling they'd get there.
As sisters, they have been practicing since childhood, experimenting with what they call "passion pop" – their trademark honesty set to catchy, dance floor hooks – which has seen them breaking into the Top 40 on Canadian radio charts, landing in the top 20 on Billboard's Emerging Arts chart as well as making appearances at the Much Music Video Awards and Much on Demand (a particularly meaningful milestone for any Canadian). Major press from Toro Mag, Flare, E!Talk, Billboard, Stuff Mag, Elle and songs from their first album being featured on MTV's The Hills mark how far their infectious melodies have traveled.
It is their ability to appreciate these moments that serves as an endearing contrast to their musical idols, Janis and Stevie – and unlike those inspirations, their life-long bond means they never have to face new territory alone.
It was this ability to lean on each other that saw them through one of the hardest moments in their musical careers. In the midst of recording with Grammy-winning producer and friend, Tal Herzberg, the new project was abruptly halted upon Tal's unexpected passing. Carmen and Camille took some time to adjust and regrouped, tackling new roles behind the console as co-producers of their upcoming EP. The girls soon hit their stride with an upbeat compilation of songs that truly reflect the journey the girls have been on together.
"Big Love [the anthemic chorus revealing a predicament every girl has been through at one point in her life] started as an instrumental track that we wrote to, which is not as common for us. In the past, we'd usually start on the guitar. It's been fun to get more creative with sounds and experiment with keyboards and synths," shares Carmen, the excitement in her voice building. "It was based around a relationship of Camille's and wanting the best out of someone. It is deeply personal, something that is a recurring theme in our music."
This is never more evident than in the verses of Haunting Me, evoking a delicate spring rain that collides with a thunderclap of grief, begging "let me go, if it's over now. Don't let me love a shadow," or the poignant, Away, which harkens back to the fearlessness of childhood, declaring "I won't run away anymore." The EP is a promise of change and growth, but with Carmen and Camille, the important things have stayed the same.
"Songwriting makes you feel like there is some other, high power," they reveal. "You get inspiration out of nowhere. A song can just come to you."
So can a feeling. Underneath the driving beats and catchy synths of the new upcoming album are songs sung from the heart, and the gut.

It was truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to chat with Ted Kerasote, author of national bestseller Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog, Out There: In The Wild in a Wired Age, which won the National Outdoor Book Award, and most recently Pukka's Promise: The Quest for Longer-Lived Dogs. He shares what happiness means to him, what he learned from Merle and Pukka, stories from readers, and so much more. We hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation.Follow Ted on Twitter at www.twitter.com/TedKerasoteStay connected with The Happiness Treatment by following us at www.twitter.com/happinesstreatTed Kerasote is the author of many books, including the national bestseller Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog and Out There: In The Wild in a Wired Age, which won the National Outdoor Book Award. Ted began writing professionally as a teenager, his first nationally published story—about surf fishing for striped bass—bought by Outdoor Life when he was seventeen. Since then, Ted's writing has often focused on the interrelationship between people, animals, and the natural environment, and during his four-decades-long career, his essays and photographs have appeared in magazines as wide-ranging in their subject matter as Audubon, Geo, Outside, National Geographic Traveler, Sports Afield, and The New York Times. His book Bloodties: Nature, Culture, and The Hunt is considered by many authorities to be the best and most evenhanded work on how both aboriginal and modern people treat wildlife. In addition, Bloodties offered the first comprehensive analysis of the fossil-fuel costs of our diets, and it continues to be a primary text in many university bioethics courses.A photographer since childhood, Ted was one of the first people to document the caribou migration across the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and his images of wildlife from around the world, as well as those of indigenous people such as Inuit and San, have been displayed in many publications. Since his meeting with Merle in 1991, Ted has turned to photographically documenting how dogs live when they're free of leashes and fences and have the opportunity to structure their own time.In his writing, Ted has also tried to bridge the gap between what appears to be seemingly irreconcilable positions, and his awards reflect his success at achieving this goal. His writing has been honored by the animal-rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) as well as the pro-hunting organization, the Izaak Walton League of America.An inveterate traveler and explorer, Ted has climbed, skied, and run rivers from Hong Kong to Helsinki, from the Arctic Ocean to the Straits of Magellan, and from the Alps to the savannas of Africa. His longtime home is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, but he continues to find joy in writing about new places and people, and his most recent trip took him to the Himalaya, where he began to research a book on Tibet.BIO COURTESY OF WWW.KERASOTE.COM

Elaine Hendrix
Interview by Erik Schultz
Photo by Lesley Bryce Photos
Elaine Hendrix is best known for her acting performances in numerous television series including Get Smart, Joan of Arcadia, Friends, Ellen, Charmed, The Middleman, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Married…with Children, Rizzoli & Isles, Rules of Engagement, The Mentalist, Castle, and the reboot of 90210, just to name a few. She also stared in wonderful films such as The Parent Trap, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Superstar, Inspector Gadget, and What the Bleep Do We Know!?. This is an impressive body of work, but what impressed us most about Elaine, is her love of animals and her work to save them. In 2011, she helped found the non-profit organization, Animal Rescue Corps (ARC), who's mission is to end animal suffering through direct and compassionate action, and to inspire the highest ethical standards of humanity towards animals. We were honored to talk with Elaine Hendrix. To learn more about Animal Rescue Corps please visit www.animalrescuecorps.org.
I would like to jump right in and talk about your involvement with Animal Rescue Corps. What was it about this organization and their mission that really made you want to get involved with them?
Well, being one of the founding officers, I helped establish what the missions is, so it's hand-in-glove to begin with. The founder and president, Scotlund Haisley, is one of the world's foremost experts on rescuing, so it's exciting to build something so meaningful along with him and the other team members. We specialize entirely on everything rescue related. There aren't any other organizations who has the focus and skill set we do.
With all your travels related to Animal Rescue Corps and the other organizations, are there a couple stories of happiness and joy that jump out, you can share?
The beauty of rescuing is that there are thousands of joyous stories because the animals are getting out of hell. One in particular…I will never forget working with Unchained Dogs Coalition in North Carolina. This man LOVED his pit bull and took very good care of him, but he didn't have a way to keep him in his yard without chaining him up while people trespassed and antagonized the poor dog. So, Unchained Dogs went in - as they do - got the dog neutered and while I was there, we built an enclosure where the dog could live chained free. We then took an extra step to create a barrier where people could no longer trespass and pick on the dog. Seeing the gratitude of that man, and watching his pit run free for the first time was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I still have the rope of the first dog I helped "unchain" while working with them.
What is next for you and Animal Rescue Corps?
Saving more lives! There's always something going on with ARC. I encourage people to keep up with our activities because they're pretty amazing.
Your love for animals must go back to your childhood. Tell me about the family pets you had growing up, and how that led to your passion to help animals.
I have always loved animals. I think nature is the greatest creation. Throughout my life I've had dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish, hamsters, and a rabbit…Next I'm adopting a goat!…But it took watching an undercover fur video for me to become an animal advocate. Like most people, I didn't know what was happening to them. Now that I do, I can't claim ignorance ever again. And I can't turn my back. Animals - in staggering numbers - suffer unimaginable atrocities every single day. It's simply not right.
I know you are also involved with other amazing organizations as well. Can you touch briefly on a couple of these, your involvement, and their mission?
Unchained Dog Coalition - They get dogs off chains and into their own free spaces, still in the homes where they live, as well as provide spay/neuter services. They are a HUGE support to the communities where they exist.
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary - They do so much from running a sanctuary to rescue to investigation to rehabilitation to spay/neuter programs, etc.
Stray Rescue of St. Louis - I'm on their board. Randy Grim and everyone there is doing incredible things for the dogs in that city (Missouri is the puppy mill capital of the country.) I LOVE this organization.
There are countless smaller/local groups across the world. I highly encourage everyone to get involved with their local shelters and rescue organizations. No deed is too frivolous and no amount of money is too small. I, 100% believe that now that I have an org to help look after. Helping animals is actually SOOO easy.
Now moving onto happiness. What does happiness mean to you?
For me, happiness is more about fully accepting, being okay with and completely enjoying who I am as a human being and not letting outside forces determine or sway that. Emotions are so transitory, so to "feel" happy, that can be fleeting. On the other hand, to "know" happiness, that's something for me to hang my hat on.
Can you give us some of your "happy" music suggestions? Maybe a song or artist that makes you move, puts a smile on your face, or you belt out singing in the car.
I love P!nk. Always have. I love her audacity and authenticity. Her range as a writer and a vocalist is inspiring and FUN! and inspiration and fun put a smile on my face for sure! I have each of her albums on constant rotation. She's also a big animal lover, so that endears her to me all the more.
What is the biggest thing you have learned about yourself through your journey so far?
That vulnerability is powerful. Probably the most powerful thing there is. I'm constantly working on that. I've grown tremendously in this area, and still think I have more to go. I have often made the mistake of thinking that being "tough" is the best way to handle things or the strongest attitude to have. Sometimes it's a great tool, but not as a way of life. Certainly not if I want to be a true artist.
We will take a moment to touch on your other job…as a phenomenal actress? What projects are you currently working on that you can talk about?
Well, thank you. At this very moment I'm shooting a Christmas TV movie with Sergio DiZio and Christopher Lloyd called "Anything But Christmas." Then in August "General Education" comes out in some theaters. I just finished playing 'Blanche Dubois' in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and it looks like I'll be reprising her in LA this fall. On and on and on. There's never a dull moment, that's for sure.
Of all the wonderful roles you've had, which role pushed you the most as an actress and why?
Hands down - playing Blanche Dubois. She's one of the greatest roles ever written for a woman. She's so complex. I could probably play her the rest of my life and I would find something new about her every time. She's tragically losing her mind, and I love her.
Outside of acting and ARC, what else are you working on?
Ha! In the 2 minutes I have to spare between these two careers I do things like take care of my own animals, eat, sleep, visit with friends and family, travel…I do have other projects in development with various companies that are very exciting. I'll be able to talk about those next time.
We had a wonderful brief chat with Colton Dixon from American Idol season 11. He was our favorite for sure because of his strong convictions and staying true to who he is the entire journey. We wish him well!

It was truly a honor to chat with Scott Harrison, founder and CEO of Charity: Water, during his stop in Portland for the World Domination Summit.
In 2004, Scott left his life of promoting nightclubs and fashion events in New York City to volunteer aboard a floating hospital with a group called Mercy Ships, a humanitarian organization which offered free medical care in the world's poorest nations, in West Africa. The second he walked aboard that ship, he never went back to his old life, and everything changed.
Charity: Water's mission is very clear…Bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
It's hard not to think about water today. In the western world, we face growing concerns about our stewardship of the world's most precious resource. There's talk of shortages, evidence of reservoirs and aquifers drying up, and of course, plenty of people who simply don't care.
But forget about us.
Most of us have never really been thirsty. We've never had to leave our houses and walk five miles to fetch water. We simply turn on the tap, and water comes out. Clean. Yet there are 800 million people on the planet who don't have clean water.
It's hard to imagine what 800 million people looks like really, but one in nine might be easier. One in nine people in our world doesn't have access to the most basic of human needs. Something we can't imagine going 12 hours without.

It was an honor to sit down with Yael Cohen, Founder, President, and CCF (Chief Cancer Fucker) of Fuck Cancer, a charity dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of early detection for all cancers. Cohen started the organization in 2009 when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Astounded to learn that over 90% of cancers are curable in stage one, Cohen realized that early detection is our only cure right now and that we should be looking for cancer instead of just finding it. Fuck Cancer targets Generation Y in an effort to engage them in the important dialogue about early detection; with a clear call to action to involve, engage, and educate their parents. The movement aims to create a generation that puts an END to late stage cancer. While we may not see a "cure" for cancer in our lifetimes, early detection is the surest way to prevent a lot of suffering and save a lot of lives. We can only do this through education, which is why raising awareness is just as important as raising funds.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Mother Russia (Russian: Россия-Матушка, transliterated as Rossiya-Matushka) is a national personification of Russia, appearing in patriotic posters, statues etc. The usage of the term "mother" in reference to a nation or culture symbolizes the "spirit of collectivity".[1] In the Soviet period, the term Rodina-Mat (Родина-Мать,"Mother-Homeland") was preferred, as representing the multi-ethnic Soviet Union. Still, there is a clear similarity between the pre-1917 Mother Russia and the Soviet figure, especially as depicted during and in the aftermath of the Eastern Front of World War II.[citation needed]
Most of statues of the Motherland were made after the war. These include:

Sean Curran, who has a joint appointment at USC Dornsife, is corresponding author of a study that finds a genetic mechanism linking aging to specific diets.
Your best friend swears by the Paleo Diet. Your boss loves Atkins. Your sister is gluten-free, and your roommate is an acolyte of Michael Pollan. So who's right?
Maybe all four.
In new research published this month in Cell Metabolism, USC scientists Sean Curran and Shanshan Pang identified a collection of genes that allow an organism to adapt to different diets and showed that without the genes, even minor tweaks to diets can cause premature aging and death.
Finding a genetic basis for an organism's dietary needs suggests that different individuals may be genetically predisposed to thrive on different diets and that now, in the age of commercial gene sequencing, people might be able to identify which diet would work best for them through a simple blood test.
"These studies have revealed that single gene mutations can alter the ability of an organism to utilize a specific diet," said Curran, corresponding author of the study and assistant professor with joint appointments at USC Dornsife, the USC Davis School of Gerontology and the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
"In humans, small differences in a person's genetic makeup that change how well these genes function could explain why certain diets work for some but not others."
Curran and Pang studied Caenorhabditis elegans, a one-millimeter-long worm that scientists have used as a model organism since the '70s. Decades of tests have shown that genes in C. elegans are likely to be mirrored in humans while its short life span allows scientists to do aging studies on it.
In this study, Curran and Pang identified a gene called alh-6, which delayed the effects of aging depending on what type of diet the worm was fed by protecting it against diet-induced mitochondrial defects.
"This gene is remarkably well-conserved from single-celled yeast all the way up to mammals, which suggests that what we have learned in the worm could translate to a better understanding of the factors that alter diet success in humans," Curran said.
Future work will focus on identifying what contributes to dietary success or failure and whether these factors explain why specific diets don't work for everyone. This could be the start of personalized dieting based on an individual's genetic makeup, Curran said.
"We hope to uncover ways to enhance the use of any dietary program and perhaps even figure out ways of overriding the system(s) that prevent the use of one diet in certain individuals," he said.
The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health (grant number AG032308), the Ellison Medical Foundation and the American Federation of Aging Research.

7. People's twitter posts coming to my Facebook every 10 secs. I don't have a twitter for this reason, yet still, it's almost like I do…

9. When people say how much they love their baby or "I love you" to their baby through their social networking sites. If you really do, great. Showcasing it to your baby who, at the age of 2 weeks to a year, can neither read nor operate a Facebook, it's unnecessary.
10. Hashmarks. This (#) is now the sign of my declining sanity. Like memes, they are used for EVERYTHING…even things that don't make sense!
Okay. I'm done. Promise. I also promise that, while I do hate these 10 things, there are more than 10 things that I do love about the internet.

A landslide has crashed into homes in a town near Seattle in the US, killing three people and injuring 11. Rescue workers are searching through mud and debris to find at least 18 people still unaccounted for, US authorities say.
The side of a mountain in Snohomish County suddenly slammed into the homes, highway and river below it on the weekend.
At least 11 people are injured, including a six-month-old baby listed in critical condition, according to The Seattle Times.
"We suspect there are people out there but it is far too dangerous to get the responders out to them," said Travis Hots, chief of two Snohomish County Fire districts.

Ukraine's Western-backed leaders have voiced fears of an imminent Russian invasion of the eastern industrial heartland following the fall of their last airbase in Crimea to defiant Kremlin troops.
Saturday's takeover involving armoured personnel carriers and stun grenades provided the most spectacular show of force since the Kremlin sent troops into the heavily Russified peninsula three weeks ago before sealing its annexation on Friday.

A powerful cabinet committee to be overseen by Tony Abbott will be used to drive infrastructure projects across Australia, and particularly in NSW, the government has announced.
Mr Abbott's role as the sub-committee's chair will give his office a role in the assessment of infrastructure projects and supports his goal to be known as an ''infrastructure prime minister''.
''It will have reporting mechanisms to ensure that we are getting things done more quickly than they have been in the past,'' Assistant Infrastructure Minister Jamie Briggs said on ABC radio this morning. ''It won't just be about announcements, it will be about delivery.''
Other members of the powerful committee include Treasurer Joe Hockey and Infrastructure Minister Warren Truss. It will look at proposals from state governments and the private sector and ''put an emphasis on getting things done'', Mr Briggs said.
Cronulla Sharks player Todd Carney is denying any involvement in a brawl outside McDonald's on The Kingsway last night that left two teens injured.
Cronulla police officer Rick Johnson confirmed this morning that Carney had been interviewed as a witness to the incident.
This is what we know so far: An 18-year-old man from Grays Point and a 19-year-old from Kirrawee were allegedly attacked by a 28-year-old man last night after they shouted ''Go Sharkies'!'' They walked into Cronulla Police Station later that evening to report the incident - one had bruising to the face, and the other had loosened teeth.
Police viewed security footage and arrested and charged a 28-year-old man at Northies Cronulla Hotel at the corner of the Kingsway and Elouera Road. Police say while they are satisfied they've identified the offender, they would like to hear from more witnesses.

By the end of the day Paul Howes may no longer be the leader of the AWU. He is expected to announce his resignation from the union movement today.
It's not clear whether he will stand down immediately or see out the remainder of his term as head of the union, writes Clay Lucas.
Mr Howes, who has led the union since 2007 when its former national secretary Bill Shorten entered Parliament, is expected to be replaced by assistant national secretary Scott McDine.

A "golden thread" of evidence has been presented by prosecutors in the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius in South Africa.
Claims by neighbours they heard Reeva Steenkamp scream were corroborated by a pathologist who performed the autopsy. He said it would have been ''abnormal'' for her not to scream from some of her bullet injuries, leaving the double-amputee athlete with "serious questions" to answer and his defense likely hinging on his own testimony, reports USA Today.
"Suddenly what we have is Oscar Pistorius firing at Reeva Steenkamp while her hands are covering her head while she's screaming in the toilet, and that's murder," said Marius du Toit, a defense lawyer and former state prosecutor who says he has worked on at least 100 murder cases.

"Tooth and nail" approach: George Pell. Photo: Reuters
Cardinal George Pell will take the stand at the child sex abuse royal commission today, where he will likely face tough questions over the Catholic Church's handling of abuse claims.
It will examine Pell's role in the church's treatment of John Ellis, who sought damages for abuse by Father Aidan Duggan at the Sydney Archdiocese's Bass Hill parish. The abuse, which lasted years, began when Mr Ellis was a 13-year-old altar boy.
The Catholic Church's insurer insisted on being "kept in the loop" in the Ellis case after lawyers expressed concern at Pell's "tooth and nail" approach, according to earlier evidence.

We have a question for the Parramatta Eels. What have you done to the rugby league gods to deserve your Sunday loss to the Manly Sea Eagles?
After a spirited comeback, the consecutive wooden spooners were dealt a cruel blow when they lost with 49 seconds left on the clock of what would have been a famous victory, writes Michael Carayannis.
They were left licking their wounds losing 22-18 to Manly at Brookvale Oval. Goal-kicking proved the difference with the sides scoring four tries each, but the Eels could manage just one conversion, with Joseph Paulo taking on the kicking duties.
Everything looking good so far on our train and bus network. Let's hope this continues.

A 28-year-old Cronulla man has been charged with assault after a fight in Cronulla last night.
At 7.40pm he allegedly triggered a punch-up involving a number of men outside a fast food outlet on The Kingsway. Two teens from Kirrawee went to Cronulla Police Station to report the altercation. They also requested medical treatment for facial injuries.
The Cronulla man was arrested by police near the location of the fight. He was charged with two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and granted conditional bail to attend Sutherland Local Court in April.

It was an unexpected thrill at the circus. Three elephants escaped from their circus trainers and went on a car park rampage on the weekend in a Missouri city in the States.
Moolah Shrine Circus spectators were shocked as the trio escaped during a performance and damaged cars out the back of the arena, before they were corralled and returned to their compound.
''I just got out – 'Oh my God, Allie turn around real quick. There's the elephants,'" said Karyin Tunnicliff, who had just parked their car and remained inside when they saw the animals. "Then we saw a bunch of people running after them yelling stop, stop. Their trainers were just … panicked."

The search for the missing MH370 flight continues to dominate headlines. Photos of objects floating in the Indian Ocean have been captured by a French satellite, raising hopes of unravelling this aviation mystery.
The Australian-led hunt for the plane has been narrowed down to a visual search, focusing on objects glimpsed from the satellite imagery and from a civilian plane, reports Melanie Kembrey on the Herald's front page.
Sunday's search had a ''complete change of emphasis'' and was taking place in a more defined area than previous searches, Australian Maritime Safety Authority rescue centre co-ordination chief Mike Barton said.
A 30-year-old man climbed a power pole and fell to his death while trying to run away from police yesterday.
He was stopped by police officers in Wagga Wagga just after midday for speeding. While they were obtaining details from the driver, he sprinted towards a power pole and climbed up.
He ignored requests to get down, and then fell. Paramedics tried to revive him but he died at the scene.
A critical incident investigation is underway to review the conduct of the officers involved.
