Anonymous artist 'Poet' donates unique paintings for Easter egg hunt at Bakersfield Museum of Art
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Bakersfield Museum of Art received a pleasant Easter surprise early Saturday from a local street artist known as "Poet ."
The museum's director of marketing, Matt Munoz, told 23ABC in an email that a basket of artistic appreciation was left outside their gates.
Inside the basket was a package of limited prints and canvas works, in addition to a bag of painted plastic Easter eggs. The work is Poet's typical, yet unique artwork - a spin-off of a vintage Playboy Magazine cover with his signature gas mask.
Munoz said it is a clever idea.
The point is to hide the painted Easter eggs throughout the museum's sculpture garden. When you find one of the hidden eggs all you have to do is bring it back to the receptionist's desk and claim your print of Poet's wonderfully creative artwork.
The black and blue eggs will win you a print, while the golden eggs will prize you with a canvas painting.
"That is pretty cool," Munoz said. "We've never met the artist, but we did see he was also featured in the latest Bakersfield Magazine.
Today's museum hours start at 12 p.m. through 4 p.m. and if you'd like to try your hand at finding one of the hidden eggs the cost is free and everyone is welcome.
"[It's] just in the spirit of art," Munoz said. "And to bring awareness to our museum."

Usher - Climax
Artist: Usher
Producer: Diplo
Album: Looking 4 Myself
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 40 votes )
It's Valentine's Day DJBoothers, and you know what that means. Restaurants will be filled to the brim with loving couples on obligatory "romantic" dates as the rest of us count down the hours until February 15, when all the excess candy will be on sale for 80% off and a holiday that makes us feel awkward about our inability to commit will be over. Or maybe that's just me. In any event, Valentine's Day is also bringing us brand a spankin' new tune from Usher, appropriately titled Climax - well played sir. Diplo, the maestro of noisy electronic blips and face-melting drum kicks, is responsible for the surprising sensual sound befitting the song title. Usher digs deep into his vocal repertoire to hit us with the falsetto, so you know what he's feeling is real. This song has all the ingredients of a perfect babymaking joint, but upon closer inspection we find that it's really a break-up song, and Usher's passionate delivery is fueled by sadness and regret. Don't let that stop you from enjoying the song though, seriously. It's always good to hear from Usher, so we look forward to more
as his currently unscheduled and untitled new album (hopefully) approaches
from his new album, Looking For Myself, out June 12.

Isaiah Thomas will play a lot with UW lineup tested
The Huskies could also be without senior forward Justin Holiday, who suffered a concussion last Saturday and was unable to practice Tuesday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
UW vs. WSU, Pac-10 tournament @ Staples Center, Los Angeles, 8:30 p.m., FSN
Latest from the Husky Football & Basketball blogs
It was difficult for Lorenzo Romar to crack a smile during Tuesday's somber 70-minute news conference.
But the Washington men's basketball coach could still crack a joke when asked who his backup point guard is now.
"Probably Isaiah," he deadpanned.
That's Isaiah as in Isaiah Thomas, UW's starting point guard who will likely play heavy minutes in Thursday's Pac-10 tournament quarterfinal against Washington State because the Huskies are suddenly short-handed.
Romar suspended Venoy Overton for the entire conference tournament after the senior guard was charged with furnishing alcohol to 16-year-old girls, a gross misdemeanor.
The Huskies could also be without senior forward Justin Holiday, who suffered a concussion last Saturday and was unable to practice Tuesday. He'll be re-evaluated Thursday morning.
"Those are two guys that can create havoc defensively," Romar said. "That puts us with a seven-man rotation not counting (walk-ons) Brendan (Sherrer) and Antoine Hosley. So I'd say that's a setback."
Romar is optimistic Holiday will return, but he was grim about the prospects of playing without Overton.
"He was starting to play his best basketball," Romar said. "I think he was rounding into shape to do the things we've all grown accustomed to watching him do on the floor."
Without Overton, the Pac-10 active leader in assists (387) and steals (176), Thomas is the only scholarship point guard on the roster. UW lost starter Abdul Gaddy to a season-ending knee injury in January.
Thomas moved into Gaddy's spot three months ago and initially flourished.
The junior co-captain nearly single-handedly won back-to-back games against California and Arizona when he averaged 24.5 points and 11.5 assists.
In the past two games, Thomas is averaging 12.5 points and 3.0 assists. He's also shooting 32.0 percent (8 of 25) from the field and 0 for 6 on three-pointers during the span.
"I feel like lately my play has rubbed off against the team," Thomas said. "I put a lot on my shoulders and a lot of blame goes to me for how we've been playing the whole month of February.
"I'm ready for Thursday. I see everybody is against us and it feels like our season may be over, but it's a new season right now."
Redshirt freshman C.J. Wilcox admitted he hasn't played point guard since high school, but said he's ready to take over the ball-handling duties if Thomas needs a breather.
Romar is reluctant to give Hosley a chance. The freshman point guard has appeared in the final minutes of 13 blowouts this season.
"It's just tough to be in that situation," Romar said. "In practice sometimes Scott Suggs has done it. It may have to happen by committee if Isaiah were to get into foul trouble or get winded and needed a rest."
Thomas is averaging 30.1 minutes, and his season high is 39. In the first game against Washington State, an 87-80 UW defeat, he played 37 minutes before fouling out.
"I'm ready for whatever coach needs me to do," he said. "I'm going to do whatever it takes to get a win on Thursday."
Thomas also expressed concern for Overton, who will watch the game from the sideline.
"I can't be mad at him," Thomas said. "He knows he did wrong. He knows what was at stake, but people make mistakes. I always feel like you deserve a second chance at whatever mistake you make."Thursday

4.0 out of 5 stars An Above Average Hits Package.,
A. Estes (Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
You wouldn't have expected any less, would you? Staind have officially been around for ten years. Five albums into their career, four of which are full of memorable hits, it makes sense that Staind are putting out a "Singles" collection. It also makes sense because like Cold, Nonpoint, Taproot and P.O.D. before them, Staind are apparently severing ties with their record label, Atlantic. What a perfect escape route!
Sounds Like: A contractual obligation.
The Good:
- Well, it's Staind and so long as you're a fan, these songs will always be good.
- Even if you own all the albums, there are more than a few extras thrown your way. In addition to the Family Values 1999 version of "Outside" replacing the rather bland studio version, there are also four live and acoustic tracks (three of which are covers!)
The Bad:
- The omission of "Just Go" (why do they always ignore that song?), "Fade" and "How About You."
Hits: Well, they're all hits, but for the fans, the acoustic numbers are where it's at. "Nutshell," an Alice In Chains cover, stands far and above the rest. There have been many bands performing this song in the past (I have recordings of Seether, Cold, Shinedown and Adema doing it) but no one has done it as beautifully and effortlessly as Aaron Lewis and company. "Sober" and "Comfortably Numb," Tool and Pink Floyd covers respectively, are great as well, in addition to the acoustic rendition of "Everything Changes." Hell, they even threw in a souped up version of "Come Again" from their 1996 indie album, "Tormented," in case you don't own it already.
Misses: Just the songs they left off.
Personally: I've been a Staind fan since "Dysfunction" and this collection does the band justice. I can forgive what they left out mainly because I own all that stuff already and because the unreleased material is worth the while. Few bands are as good with "Greatest Hits" as Staind are with this one. Highly recommended.
Best Listened To When: Ending a relationship with a record label.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Compilation, But Minus 1 Star For Missing Hits,
Greg "gkw1982" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
Staind is definitely one of the best and most important bands in modern rock music. I've been a fan since '99 and have every album (including the out-of-print "Tormented" album). Any way, the band is about to take a year or 2 off since they've been recording and touring non-stop for 10 years. AND after only 5 albums, they already have a rather large bundle of hits and singles under their belt, so it makes since that they would release a "best of" compilation just in time for Christmas. Now normally when a band releases a compilation album, they might title it "The Best Of" or "Greatest Hits" which would suggest that only the biggest hit songs will be on there. But this collection is titled "The Singles: 1996-2006", so I would expect that every single would be accounted for. Sadly, a few singles and 1 big hit are missing from this collection.
First, let's start with what the album DOES have to offer. It begins with a remix of "Come Again" which was originally on the band's independently released "Tormented" album from 1996. It's cool to here if you don't own the album or if you wanna hear a slightly different version of one of the songs from that CD. Next, you have "Mudshovel" (the band's first big hit) and "Home" from their 1999 album, "Dysfunction." These are great songs, and you're certain to enjoy these tunes from the darker side of Staind. Then the popular "Break The Cycle" album from 2001 is represented with hit songs like "It's Been Awhile", "For You" and "Epiphany." There's also the popular acoustic version of "Outside" that lead singer Aaron Lewis performed with Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit during the 1999 Family Values Tour. Then, from 2003's "14 Shades Of Grey" you'll find songs like "Price To Play", "So Far Away" and "Zoe Jane" (which is a good song but I was never aware that it was a single.) Finally, last year's "Chapter V" album is represented with "Right Here", "Falling" and an acoustic version of "Everything Changes". However, the CD doesn't end there! For those hardcore Staind fans who already own all the albums, you'll get some bonus acoustic cover songs on here..."Comfortably Numb" (Pink Floyd), "Sober" (Tool) and "Nutshell" (my favorite Alice In Chains tune). These are very good acoustic covers, especially "Nutshell". They make the album worth getting if you already own everything else.
Now it's time to go over what this CD is lacking. First, "Just Go" from the Dysfunction album is no where to be found. It wasn't a big hit, but I do believe it got some radio play and may have even been the first single from that album...good song. Then from Break The Cycle, we don't have "Fade" (a VERY big hit for the band) or the studio version of "Outside" (which was equally as popular as the live acoustic version found on here). Next, missing from 14 Shades Of Grey is "How About You", which wasn't a big hit but it got radio play and just happened to be my favorite song from that album. And from Chapter V, they decided to put an acoustic version of "Everything Changes" on here rather than the studio version that was played on the radio. But I suppose this version is just as good.
So yes, this album is missing quite a bit, but only 1 or 2 major songs aren't found on here. It's still a nice compilation, especially for the bonus songs. As a Staind fan, I have to be honest that some of the band's best stuff never went to radio. I think after "Its Been Awhile" became such a huge hit, the record company kept forcing out slow ballads like "So Far Away" and "Right Here" in order to recapture that success (which may have worked). But I think it's too bad that Staind's REAL style (angsty hard rock) is barely shown on here. This album is a good introduction to the band, but it's mostly meant for the people that just follow whatever they hear on the radio. If you wanna hear some of Staind's BEST stuff, listen to their individual albums to here great songs like "Suffocate", "Crawl", "Pressure", "How About You", "Paper Jesus" and "King Of All Excuses".

4.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for the "new" fans...,
John F. Narducci "johnnybegood" (Providence, RI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
I am a bit older(a classic rock fan before we knew it was going to be classic). When I purchase music from most of the nineties bands that I am only aquainted with from radio etc. I prefer to buy a greatest hits and delve into the albums proper if I am impressed with what I hear. This is one of those times. I am not going to make the usual comparisons to other bands or scratch my head over why a collection like this is issued by record companies or the like. I just like the music and that is what we listen to it for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have!,
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
This CD is perfect for any Staind fan as well as anyone that just likes great music. A decade of favorites and some excellent acoustic tracks from the Hiro Ballroom are included in this collection making this disc an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. I say it is a must have and I encourage anyone to pick it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Staind's 10 Year Anniversary,
Petar Vodogaz "Commissioner" (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
It is kind of unique to realise that Staind has been around for pretty much 10 years since forming together as a band in the middle of 1996 with their first release 'Tormented'. During the last 10 years, Staind has evolved as a band, their music and individually as band members. It is great to see and hear Aaron Lewis' voice gather momentum and expand in range and emotional strength. For me 'Break The Cycle' was their best album with many songs becoming hits in their own right. There are several songs in this 'The Singles' release that are included.
1 song from Tormented, 'Come Again'
2 songs from Dysfunction, 'Mudshovel' & 'Home'
The first surprise of this album comes on track 4 which includes a Live version with Fred Durst of 'Outside' which is a better version than the album version. Fred Durst and Aaron Lewis sound great together and have a complex but good chemistry together.
5 songs from Break The Cycle, 'It's Been Awhile', 'For You', 'Epiphany' and 'So Far Away.
2 songs from Shades of Grey, 'Price To Play' & 'Zoe Jayne'.
2 songs from Chapter V, 'Right Here Waiting' & 'Falling'.
At the end of this album is what most fans will enjoy the most. 'Everything Changes' is sung by Lewis acoustically live in concert and his talented voice ranges far and very well acoustically. For me I enjoy acoustic Staind songs better. The final three songs are acoustically sung cover songs including 'Sober', 'Comfortably Numb' and 'Nutshell'. These three songs are a pleasure to listen with the sound turned up.
Overall this is a appealing album. It is definitely not the 'Best Of' but is a compilation of the well known singles of Staind with some added tossers that all Staind fans will love and truly appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely GREAT!,
AngeloD (Bklyn NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
When I first heard that Staind was coming out with a greatest hits album, I was a bit surprised because it hit me from left field. Once I heard that it included several live acoustic tracks from a "secret" concert held in NYC in September, I was very excited. (Of course, I was a bit upset that I missed that concert considering I was eating dinner at a restaurant upstairs!!) The CD has some great songs. Yes, they could've put a few more, but then it would just be a box set of all their CDs!
One of the tracks that shocked me was "Come Again". I was thrilled it was included because it gives new listeners a chance to hear Staind's older stuff. A very different and amazing sound! I would say that my favorite part of this collection is the live acoustic songs that were included. Staind sounds incredible acoustic. Their cover of Tool's "Sober" is breath-taking. The power behind Aaron Lewis' voice and the rest of the guy's instruments is phenomenal. There is a version at Best Buy that has a few Bonus Acoustic Tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great album, but "It's Been Awhile" is edited on download,
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
I can't say much more than what's already been said by everyone - fantastic piece of work, indeed. But after downloading, I was disappointed to find that "It's Been Awhile" was not the explicit version, like the album advertises. I wrote in and it was explained to me that they don't have the explicit version of this song for download - just the radio friendly version. I got a credit, and that's fine, but wanted to give everyone a heads up on this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy with purchase,
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
Why bother with making your own compilation CD, this Staind CD has it all on one disc and it was on my doorstep 2 days after I ordered. Worth every penny.
4.0 out of 5 stars Pick up if you are new, add if you are an old timer!!!,
This review is from: 1996-2006 The Singles (Audio CD)
This greatest hits really does do a good job on covering the span of Staind's career, getting some of the radio single hits, and utilizing most of the CD (16 tracks, mine has 18 with 2 bonus tracks from a chain store). This has all the hits like mudshovel, home, epiphany, outside, ect...but adds bonuses like Comfortably Numb (pink floyd cover, Sober (tool cover), schizophrenic conversations, and Nutshell (Alice in Chains cover). I can't give it five stars because it doesn't have songs like JUST GO on it, or a few of the others. Worth picking up, especially for a new fan. Old fans will enjoy it to, cause of the rarer acoustic stuff.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penney!,

I have never really been a big fan of Staind, however I have loved certain songs of theirs here and there, but I am an overall Alternative rock fan. So I came across this album and it had all the greats that I really liked plus a few I like from others in acoustic versions so I got it. Wow, this is one compilation that will be tough for Staind to ever overcome! I would say the absolute best album they have ever compiled! This rarely comes out of my CD player!

A quick post in advance. We (hopefully) will be busy filming with another new spankee this morning. I am often asked just how we manage to bring you so many brand spanking new models as we do seem to be the very best at finding lovely girls. Many of them then go on to film with the other Producers and I often say that if you start with the very best you can then go on to film with the rest. Let us be honest, I am known for being a very hard spanker so I guess once you have managed to be punished by my good self you know that you can take on anything.
Ella Hughes started her spanking career with us and we do have quite a few wonderful films showing this sexy young lady and this one is quite exceptional. So new to English Spankers this week Ella Hughes has just had her first interview for the sexy cleaning company which resulted in a spanked bottom. She now has to audition first client and this very strict lady has her own ideas on punishment. Ella has to change into some sexy clothes and then placed in the diaper position she is spanked and then beaten with a selection of nasty wooden rulers. Then bent over in the traditional position she gets some real hard strokes.English Spankers

August 2013 – Two Syl Arena Lighting Workshops in Maine
Save the dates: August 4–10 and August 11–17, 2013. I have two weeklong lighting workshops scheduled at Maine Media this year. Midcoast Maine + August + playing with light for a week = Summer camp for lucky adults.
My Canon Speedlites Demystified workshop runs Aug 4–10. This will be the third summer that I teach this great session that focuses exclusively on…you guessed it, Canon Speedlites. We start the week with an exploration of one-light techniques and end the week with everyone shooting multiple Speedlites. Even if you hardly know how to use a pop-up flash, if you shoot Canon and want to learn flash, this is the workshop for you. Check out the details here on the Maine Media site.
My new Creative Lighting on Location workshop (Aug 11–17) is for shooters who already have a working knowledge of flash photography and want to push into using mixed lighting and strobes (Einsteins, Profoto D1s, etc.) on location. Of course, what's a strobe good for without a toolbox of modifiers? So, we'll also play with a range of softboxes, grids, gels, etc. as we shoot portraits on a wide range of indoor and outdoor locations. You'll find the details here on the Maine Media site.
And yes, if you are looking for an excuse to spend two weeks in the beautiful central coast of Maine, then consider Canon Speedlites Demystified as a great way to get up to speed for Creative Lighting on Location.

DALLAS — Lakers reserve guard Wayne Ellington returned to the team on Thursday after taking an approved absence for over the past week because of his father's murder in Philadelphia.
Lakers coach Byron Scott said it is unlikely Ellington will play in tonight's game against the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Arena, hopeful that continuity from the teams' two-game winning streak will carry over.
"He hasn't gotten a whole lot of sleep and lost weight," Scott said. "That's all understandable given what he's been through. For us and for him, the best thing is to get back with the team as soon as possible and get back to his family. Now it's up to us to make him feel back at home."
