Hubert von Goisern on tour in 2015 with new album "Federn"
Hubert von Goisern has the blues. Hubert von Goisern also has: variegation and the shimmering energy of New Orleans. This special southern states feeling. He balances all this on the basis of his own tradition, which comes from the Alps in terms of geography, but is practically the whole world in a musical idea.
Goisern has been on a musical journey through the south of the USA. And what he has brought back with him is carefully crafted, from the powerful rock numbers and swinging country songs to the heavy-hearted ballads. Pedal steel and electric guitar, cajun and accordion. It's all Goisern.
Federn is light work: the rhythms of country and bluegrass music needn't be cobbled together, they fit like a glove with the Austrian sound - as if there had never been any other way. It's extraordinary how Hubert von Goisern manages this time after time: you simply feel as though the whole world is your home.
The new studio album Federn will be released on 8th May 2015!
An approach to 150 years of musical history from the Alps: on Steilklänge Hubert von Goisern has gathered jewels from six alpine countries. From classic to the unusual - the compilation offers an exciting introduction to alpine culture.
Traditions, musical ones in particular, are sources of inspiration, friction and monuments of agreement. Or they can be the opposite: demarcation and exclusion. When Hubert von Goisern was asked to curate a selection of music from across the Alps for an exhibition on Franz-Josefs-Höhe on the Grossglockner High Alpine Pass, it was a welcome opportunity to once more take a close look at the musical heritage of alpine culture.

Hubert von Goisern: New album and Tour 2014
Hubert von Goisern is his own man. He has consistently avoided complacency and has unerringly gone his own musical way - for more than 25 years. In the early 1990s the Austrian became known as the inventor of alpine rock. His Hiatamadl broke through the conventions of alpine folk music and brought tradition up-to-date. Pop music was once more what it should be: music for the people. Music from the people.
Travelling, exploring foreign cultures are creative challenges and inspiration for Hubert von Goisern. He was drawn to travel to Asia and Africa, he has sailed a cargo ship converted to stage along the Danube to the Black Sea. He returned with a rucksack full of ideas and sounds, withdrew, gave rise to new songs.
In 2012 he landed his first number one hit with Brenna tuats guat, which he acknowledged with placid pride - after all, he had not done anything musically different from before. What came next was the most successful tour of his career. Followed by a break: Hubert von Goisern hasn't performed live on stage since December 2012.
And now? Back to the beginning. Hubert von Goisern doesn't like to repeat himself. His unpredictability is what is particularly exciting about Austria's most versatile sound ambassador. A new studio album is currently in the works. And finally: Hubert von Goisern & Band live on stage.
Hubert von Goisern creates music programme for Großglockner
The project on the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe bears the title Alpenliebe. It also bears the signature of Hubert von Goisern, who has curated a listening experience for the exhibition with more than an hour of music and sounds from across the alpine region - from France to the Vienna Woods.
Together with a broad spectrum of contemporary art from around 20 artists this multifaceted listening experience marks the 150th birthday of Richard Strauss and will be officially opened on 11th June. The exhibition will then be open to the public from the 12th June at the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe visitors' centre on the Großglockner High Alpine Pass.
Alpenliebe - Free admission |
Open daily from 12th June 2014, 10am - 5pm | More info
Großglockner Hochalpenstraße is now closed for the winter until May 2015

Honorary prize at the Amadeus Awards 2013
After great success at the Amadeus Awards in 2012 when he won two awards in the Album of the Year and Pop/Rock categories, Hubert von Goisern has been honoured again for his music this year too. At the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards gala in Vienna on 1st May, an honorary Amadeus Award was awarded to Hubert von Goisern in recognition of his music that continues to cross genres and bring people together. Hubert was unable to attend the ceremony and gave his thanks via video message.
TRAD - Special Edition Box Set
More than eleven years ago Hubert von Goisern fulfilled a long-held wish to record a collection of traditional Austrian folk tunes and songs that had accompanied him since childhood. The result was the successful album TRAD, which was followed two years later by a second volume, TRAD II, recorded in an abandoned hotel on Krippenstein mountain.
The new TRAD Special Edition Box Set contains not just these two special albums, but also the double release Ausland, consisting of a live CD from the Trad Tour that took HvG and his band through the German-speaking region in 2004 and the DVD Warten auf Timbuktu. This documentary follows Hubert on his journey to Mali, where he performed to an international audience among the sand dunes at the Festival au Désert and with ngoni-virtuoso Bassekou Kouyaté and balafon maestro Kele Tigi in the capital city Bamako.

Streamlines: A Logbook
Stromlinien - Ein Logbuch by Hubert von Goisern
A musical bridge through Europe along the Danube:
the logbook of the tour
This book tells the story of the journey that Hubert von Goisern and his friends undertook on a cargo ship converted to a stage ship. With a floating, musical, singing village, as he called it, he sailed the Danube upstream and downstream through new Europe, from the centre to the very edges, from Linz to Rotterdam and down to the Black Sea.
He tells of encounters with people along the river banks, of musical colleagues from a dozen different countries, of joint concerts, of the longing for freedom and distance and of a vision: unity in diversity.
Music is the common language and the message. And Hubert von Goisern is an artist who carries this out into the world, who looks for understanding and exchange across all boundaries. And so he sets off on journeys, off to uncharted territory and returns time and again as a new person.

New Diagnostic innovations in MRI at Peninsula Imaging (Please share this with your physicians!)
At Peninsula Imaging, we pride ourselves in bringing state-of-the-art imaging techniques to the shore. The most recent additions to our MRI department are non-contrast enhanced angiography, whole body spectroscopy, and Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI). Non-contrast angiography allows radiologists to see arteries and veins without the risks of having a needle stick or MRI contrast injection. Multivoxel Chemical Shift Imaging (CSI) spectroscopy examines the specific metabolite/chemical makeup of the tissue or the area being sampled anywhere in the body in a shorter amount of time when compared to singlevoxel spectroscopy. Lastly, SWI (susceptibility weighted imaging) produces images that are highly sensitive to blood and arterial venous malformations (AVM). Small bleeds due to sheering affect in the brain as a result of trauma or concussion can now be easily detected. With SWI, arterial venous malformations can be seen in their fullest extent which possibly could have been misdiagnosed using other techniques.
Peninsula Imaging awarded Accreditation in Breast MRI
Peninsula Imaging has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in breast magnetic resonance imaging as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). MRI of the breast offers valuable information about many breast conditions that may not be obtained by other imaging modalities, such as mammography or ultrasound. The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report they can use for continuous practice improvement.

About 2 years ago my husband and I embarked on a complete bathroom makeover. Originally we had a poky little bathroom and a separate ugly, green toilet. Not happy with this situation (seriously, I refused to use the ugly toilet, instead preferring to walk a bit further to the newer one off the laundry) we decided to rectify it by knocking out a wall and combining two rooms to give us a large new bathroom.
Complete and utter bliss, we have a huge bath, huge shower and lots of space for storing all those containers and bottles that seem to accumulate.
In all seriousness my favourite part of the bathroom is the storage and it was achieved easily and simply by utilising an Ikea cabinet from the Vattern series.
It's not just any run of the mill cabinet though, I was faced with a seemingly unusable space beside the toilet, because lets face it no-one wants to lean right down with their face next to the toilet to reach for anything stored on a shelf or drawer there.
To solve this dilemma I made up a little Ikea hack of my own.
I took a Vattern Lonnen Door (the white one):
and the basic drawer piece and made new holes to attach the door to the front of the drawer:
Inside this drawer is a pop up laundry basket
The drawer easily slides out to put the clothes inside and the basket lifts out when I need to drag it to the laundry to be washed.
When closed the cupboard looks like any other door. I attached a similar handle to the ones on the sink cabinets for a streamlined look. This modification on the cabinet has allowed us to utilise all the space available in the room and hide away our dirty laundry as well.
Hope you like it.

What are the pros? Prolific, heady spicy scent
What are the cons? It can sprawl.
I can't say enough about this wonderful basil. Used fresh it has a slightly citrus like clean taste with a hint of anise. Dried it sweetens and mellows to a candy-like scent I roasted a delicious hen with the fresh leaves and have the drying flowers hanging everywhere. It tolerates the heat and dryness of the summer well thriving and growing when some of my other basils stagnated. This basil could definitely be dry farmed if you wished to produce it on large scale with minimum input.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Catarrh /kəˈtɑr/, or catarrhal inflammation, is a disorder of inflammation of the mucous membranes in one of the airways or cavities of the body.[1][2] It can result in a thick exudate of mucus and white blood cells caused by the swelling of the mucous membranes in the head in response to an infection. It is a symptom usually associated with the common cold and chesty coughs, but can also be found in patients with infections of the adenoids, middle ear, sinus or tonsils. The phlegm produced by catarrh may either discharge or cause a blockage which may become chronic.
Problems caused by catarrh[edit]
A catarrh blockage may result in discomfort with (and what is known as ear fear of):
- elevators
- aircraft and helicopters
- traveling at elevation
- swimming pools and jumping baths
and other activities associated with a change in pressure.
Even the shallow end of a swimming bath can be troublesome; barotrauma—a problem linked to head pressure changes which is affected by catarrh blockages—can occur in as little as 4 feet (1.2 m) of water depth.
The word "catarrh" comes from the Greek "katarrhein": kata- meaning "down" and rhein meaning "to flow."

Mysteries of Dutch Painting
The Art of Describing: Dutch Art in the Seventeenth Century
More than two decades ago Svetlana Alpers placed us all in her debt by publishing a strikingly new analysis of Vasari's famous Lives of the…Painters (1550). She taught us (or in any case me) that we misread and therefore undervalue that foundation charter of art-historical studies if we fail to distinguish between what Vasari sees as the means of art and what is its purpose. Far from naively regarding the faithful imitation of nature as an end in itself, Vasari saw the development of representational skills as the perfection of means which always served their main social function—the evocation of a sacred or edifying story, in other words: dramatic narrative.
Confirmation of this important insight can be found in a neglected passage from Leonardo's Trattato della Pittura, where the master talks about mechanical means of imitating natural effects (such as the tracing of outlines on the surface of a transparent sheet and observing the shadows and lights). There is nothing wrong, Leonardo avers, if this method is used as an aid, but if artists begin to rely on such shortcuts, "they will always remain poor in inventing and composing narratives which is the aim of that art."
In the challenging book under review Professor Alpers argues convincingly that we are still the heirs of this tradition, which did indeed dominate the teaching of art in the academies of Europe. Thus Sir Joshua Reynolds in his Discourses could freely acknowledge what he called the "mechanical excellencies" of the Dutch school while regretting the vulgar use frequently made of such skills. But her argument has a further aim. In her view the historiography of art, including the teaching and writing of art historians today, remains wedded to this conception, which introduced an unconscious bias in favor of Italian art. The methods and attitudes appropriate for the critical evaluation of works in that tradition have proved inadequate to explain other types of art and have therefore led either to their neglect or to their misinterpretation.
Both in her introduction and in an appendix Professor Alpers criticizes in particular the tendency of applying to Dutch painting the methods developed by Erwin Panofsky and others for the interpretation of images conceived in the classical tradition. The search for hidden meanings, the reference to emblem books and enigmatic "hieroglyphs" which has enjoyed a certain vogue among historians of Dutch art, has led, in her opinion, to a fundamental misinterpretation of one of the greatest periods of artistic creativity. In this demonstration she has succeeded triumphantly. There is no doubt that thanks to her highly original book the study of the Dutch masters of the seventeenth century will be thoroughly reformed and rejuvenated.
True, it might have clarified matters if she had talked of the academic rather than of the Italian tradition of art, for she knows very well that not all Italian art is dominated by the values of "history painting." Maybe, in fact, adopting this alternative terminology would also have helped her to diagnose the roots of her dissatisfaction with current art-historical practice. Academics are naturally attracted to the academic outlook, for it encourages an intellectual approach that thrives in the classroom. Like it or not, the teacher of art history must talk, and what lends itself better to such discourse than the demonstration that there is more in any image than "meets the eye"?
Marshaling her evidence from a wide range of disciplines Professor Alpers makes a case for the opposite approach: What matters in Dutch art is precisely what meets the eye. One can only admire the zest and erudition with which she drives home this conclusion. But in a sense her insight must create a problem for her, and for all those who still want to (or have to) talk about Dutch seventeenth-century art. It is a problem of which nineteenth-century writers on art were fully aware.
Eugene Fromentin, in his epochmaking study of the arts of the Netherlands, Les Maîtres d'autrefois (1876), begins his account of painting in Holland with a reminder of the surprising fact that there is in Dutch painting "a total absence of what we today call a subject matter…ever since that painting ceased to borrow from Italy her style and her poetics…the great Dutch school seemed to think of nothing but of painting well." The French critic here takes up a theme from Hegel's lectures in aesthetics to which Professor Alpers refers but which she does not quote: "Even though the heart and mind are not given their due, we are reconciled by a closer look…indeed if one wants to know what painting is, one must look at these little pictures to say of this or that master: he can paint."
The author, of course, fully appreciates the role which such masterly "crafting" plays in the tradition of Dutch painting, but though she also acknowledges that "northern art does not offer us an easy verbal access" her book is intended to fill that lacuna. As her title indicates she wishes to pit the "art of describing" as practiced in the north against the art of narration developed in the south. "Narration has had its defenders and its explicators but the problem remains how to defend and define description." The chapters that follow indicate that by "defend" she means assigning to description a social function different from, but equal in relevance to, the religious and moral message of the academic mode.
In pursuit of this aim the author calls as her first witness that renowned Dutch man of letters, Constantijn Huygens, whose well-known autobiography she uses to good purpose. She quotes an interesting passage in which Huygens describes the experience of looking through one of the early microscopes and being reminded of the art of Jacques de Gheyn II who had drawn insects with consummate skill. If only he could have drawn the creatures of that "new world" which the microscope revealed!
Such drawings were in fact made and engraved in the course of the century and added appreciably to scientific knowledge, and yet it could be argued that in stressing this descriptive function of art as typical of a new concern Professor Alpers somewhat overstates her case. What might be called the recording function of the visual image surely did not have to wait for the seventeenth century to be recognized. Several millenniums earlier the ancient Egyptians recorded on the temple wall of Deir elBahari the appearance of plants and animals that an expedition had brought from the land of Punt. It was neither the first nor the last such use of a pictorial record. After all, what are herbals—which existed since classical antiquity—than visual records of medicinal plants for the use of those who have not seen any live specimens?
The author disclaims any intention of wanting to monopolize this function for Dutch art; but any uninitiated reader of her book may still get a somewhat onesided picture of the true situation. Such a reader might find it useful to glance into the hefty catalog of the Florentine Medici exhibition of 1980 devoted to "Commerce, the Rebirth of Science, Publishing and the Occult," which shows the Dutch contribution—great as it was—in its European setting. There is no doubt, of course, that the voyages of discovery and the advent of printing gave a new scope to the image as a conveyor of visual information, and that this presented a challenge to the purely verbal education of classical erudition.
In celebrating this movement, which in more than one respect ushered in the modern age, the author tells us that "art can lead to a new kind of knowledge of the world" or even that "pictures challenged texts as a central way of understanding the world." Not everybody will be inclined to accept this sweeping claim. It is not just hairsplitting to point out that no picture can perform such a feat, when divorced from a caption or other contextual pointers. It is not for nothing that we speak today of "visual aids" when referring to illustrations, diagrams, or films. Nobody would be inclined to underrate the vital role of these aids in supplementing and enriching a verbal account, but the information imparted by images remains embedded in language.
To revert to the wish of Huygens that Jacques de Gheyn could have recorded the new world seen through the microscope, it is clear that any such image without a caption (or its equivalent) could never have imparted "knowledge," let alone "understanding." The creature he drew would have lacked a scale and a context, it might have been a mere grotesque or a fabulous monster from Mandeville's travels. What made the illustrations of microscopic observations so important was the use made of the new knowledge that they incorporated.
This happens to be precisely the point made by Michel Foucault in his book Les Mots et les choses, to which Professor Alpers appeals in her interpretation. He points out that the microscope was used in the seventeenth century to solve problems. Take the example of the Italian physician Francesco Redi who, in his book of 1668 (no. 9.45 in the catalog mentioned above), illustrated among other specimens a louse peculiar to donkeys. He thus disproved Aristotle's contention that donkeys do not harbor lice, and apparently incurred the wrath of his contemporaries. But what is this slight contribution to knowledge compared with Redi's conclusion, derived from an examination of the reproductive organs of insects and fortified by experiments, that the universal belief in the spontaneous generation of maggots and vermin in carcasses was untenable, and that all these creatures emerged from eggs laid by files? Here, surely, is a milestone on the road to Pasteur's achievement which could never have come about without the microscope, but never through the microscope alone, or, be it said, through a collection of pictures or specimens, however accurate and however complete. Important as was the art of describing, the art of thinking also needs its defenders.
The author devotes a number of interesting pages to the books by John Amos Comenius, who rightly championed the use of visual aids in education, because he wanted to free children of the empty drudgery of memorizing. His illustrated textbooks should enable the learner to grasp the parts and varieties of trees, etc., while sitting in the classroom, but the role of the captioned picture here is that of a substitute. The teacher could have done even better with the aid of a pointer if the lesson had taken place in a garden; but knowledge acquired through pointing is not yet scientific knowledge.
There is a splendid passage in Swift's Gulliver describing the "school of languages" in the grand academy of Lagado, in which he describes
a scheme for entirely abolishing all words whatsoever;…since words are only names for things, it would be more convenient for all men to carry about them such things as were necessary to express the particular business they are to discourse on…. The room where company meet who practice this art, is full of all things ready at hand, requisite to furnish matter for this kind of artificial converse.

I didn't realize that I had not posted the promised report on the wedding. It went beautifully, truly did -I'm not just saying that for a public audience. The flowers were too much work for two hands, but the bridesmaid's bouquets turned out to be exceptionally lovely. God blessed me with bargains and skill and it all worked out. The colors of the roses were really beautiful, a mix of cream and red and deep red roses wrapped in red velvet ribbon and tied with pink organza bows, which worked very well against the garnet dresses, just enough contrast to show up nicely. The boutonnieres were another story. Although the ones that I made traditionally turned out better. The others were in little silver pin-on vases that I thought were fabulous. But I didn't get the flowers secured well inside them. The poor guys were trying to salvage them and then gave up (they stayed fine through the pictures, well fairly fine).
The food was the highlight of the reception, Derek, the caterer, did an exceptional job- we had so many compliments from everyone- it was very satisfying. I did create the decor well-but could not have done it without lots of help from my boys. They really came through. I way overbought in decoration ideas- didn't use half! But I'm a fairly frugal shopper and, really, was totally inexperienced in what was needed. As usual I had ten ideas when I only needed a couple. But the Asian theme was very successful. I wish I had had more time on the centerpieces- they were a bit less than they should have been, my son-in- law did a great job on the lanterns, but they needed better floral work than I gave them- again a lack of hands. The orchid plants were a really good idea. I'm trying to keep them alive now.
I think it would have worked better if I had not been part of the wedding;) But all the wedding party looked so good, and the bride and groom looked so happy, it was all very good.
Of course I didn't mention the freak snow blizzard, did I? You should have seen me getting the flowers into the cars with wind blowing ice pellets and glops of snow ( I wore a shower cap so I wouldn't worry about my hair). The wind blowing open the car doors, yes, that was fun, but not nearly like trying to drive with near zero-visibility driving conditions) My poor sister and b-i-l kept calling to say how they were stuck in traffic and were doing the best they could ( their girls were the flower girls)- I figured everyone was in the same boat- and reassured them. It was a wild trip, man. Yep. OHIO. April snow blizzards.
We had strewn gauzy bows and festoons on the main table and the window sills. Rose petals scattered all around. Used some props (paper lanterns, parasols, etc) and all my large planters with those fiber optic butterflies and sprays stuck into the plant/flower arrangements.

Apr 24, 2014 12:58 PM by Rachel Cole - firstname.lastname@example.com
CORPUS CHRISTI - Homelessness is a very prominent issue in the coastal bend. The bigger problem for some organizations though, is transitioning nearly 35-hundred people who live on the streets or in shelters, to a real place to call home.
Now, one local church is teaming up with a non-profit agency to push forward with a project that prepares homes and a surprise of a lifetime for family's in need.
Fresh paint, new light fixtures and dozens of donations are all part of the "Welcome Home" project. A way of getting family's out of poverty and into a place of hope.
"This is a really important opportunity that we can engage in the community and do some meaningful work in people's lives, transforming their physical space," Catherine Albert said.
Albert is the Outreach Director with Grace Presbyterian Church. She says the idea for the project came to her while she was watching television.
"The one night I was watching a commercial and I heard this song "I'm Coming Home" I knew right then that, that is something we needed to do," Albert said.
She also serves on the board for the Salvation Army. She says that's where those in need can complete "Operation Bridge" to help them go from homeless to home. It's an 18-month program through the Salvation Army, that people can complete in order to start the process of moving out of a shelter.
"They prepare them learning budgets, getting jobs and doing various kinds of training, and those kinds of things and once they complete that program they're able to move out," she added.
The "Welcome Home" project takes it a step further. Albert wants the family to feel "Embraced by Grace." The first home was picked out by a single mother of two, trying to get back on her feet.
"She thinks that it's just going to be, she finds the space to live in and we go pick up furniture at the Salvation Army Thrift store," Albert said.
However, come Sunday, April 27th, dozens of people will be standing on the sidewalk ready to welcome them to a fully furnished home. Complete with everything they need including bedding, dishes and a home cooked meal.
Organizers say, they plan to continue doing the "Welcome Home" project for many years to come. Their hope is to change the lives of those, who are in need of a second chance.

strange addictions
But back to the story at hand.
One of the only things I missed about my working life when I started staying at home with the kids was that daily radio time. Sure, I could listen to the radio at home. All day if I wanted, in theory. But the reality was that Briton, and later Evie and I were busy making and playing and listening to children's music, so NPR became more of an occasional listen when we were going somewhere in the car.
Then I discovered streaming radio and I was back to my old habits. Particularly after getting an iphone. And not just NPR, a whole world of streaming radio opened up. Maybe you've been on this bandwagon for a while, but I'm not super technologically advanced so it took me a while. As did my appreciation for YouTube which only set in about three months ago when I realized I could watch Victorian Farm, William and Mary and Portlandia despite the fact that I don't get any of the channels that they air on. So now I spend my writing and cooking and working around the house time listening to Woman's Hour or On Your Farm (I have a farm thing, it's weird) on BBC Radio 4 and looking forward to The Writer's Almanac during my morning walk and Pandora, which I love, love, love. But it occurred to me that there is probably a whole world of fun and unusual things to listen to out there that I've yet to discover.
I know this isn't my usual fare, writing about technology type things, but I'm curious. What am I missing? What do you listen to online? Are you into Podcasts? I've looked at them but am overwhelmed by the options (I found a fun knitting podcast once but haven't ever been able to find it again.) What else is out there? What gets you though your day?
4 comments:
I don't listen to the radio at all -- either in the car or at home. In fact, I tend to work in silence. But, if my husband works at home, I happily listen to whatever he's playing on iTunes.ReplyDelete
Well great. Now I am going to be addicted to Victorian Farm.ReplyDelete
I haven't dipped into podcasts or radio streaming yet. I like "This American Life" but I don't listen to it regularly because I can never figure out when it's on. My husband used to wake me up every Saturday morning to "The People's Pharmacy." I think someone told me it's off the air now. I try to listen to "Les Temps Perdu" on WNRN on Sunday afternoons, because I love old '80s music. I hate hate hate that satelite radio that comes in new cars. It makes me feel like a baby that's been given a rubber gorilla as a substitute for a mother.
NPR was a big part of my childhood soundtrack as well... as was classical music! I also love NPR as an adult. Love Car Talk! And love their version of the news (although Jon Stewart puts a nice spin on things, too!)ReplyDelete
We listened to about 40 podcasts on CD that Greg downloaded last summer when we drove all over creation. You get tired of music when you're out in the middle of Nevada.ReplyDelete
He mostly downloaded ones from these two guys called Stuff You Should Know, from a site called Howstuffworks.com. They talk about all kinds of things, and do a pretty good job of researching it, but it's fun and interesting, not dry. They sound like two 30-somethings, very mellow. Chuck and Josh. Greg says he'd be glad to send you some of the ones we've listened to, but you could probably find it online a lot faster...
I've downloaded audiobooks from the library for free, too.

These stickers are really cute and much larger than I expected, which makes them perfect for little hands, like my 2 year old daughter. She's been wearing it since her party and calling it her Name Sticker!

What Is A Fathead Wall Graphic?:
Fathead is Huge! REAL.BIG. Fathead wall decals are life-size action images that you stick on any smooth surface. You can move them and reuse them and they are safe for walls.

Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface. Need to decorate for a party or get together? Fatheads are the ultimate companion for watching the big game or as decorations for a theme party.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

Comments about Fathead Ray Lewis Super Bowl XLVII:
The only negative comment I have is that this was a Christmas gift, ordered during the holiday season, but the box was a DEAD give away as to what arrived at my door step. Typically I am not home for package delivery and my kids at times will get the deliveries. I was thankful that I was home on the delivery day and could quickly hide the box marked FATHEAD all over it. A recommendation would be to package these items in plain boxes.

Follow Pioneer Square's board July 2014 First Thursday Art Walk on Pinterest.
About the First Thursday Art Walk
Since the early 1960s, Pioneer Square's Victorian storefronts and dusty upper floors have provided a haven for gallery owners and artists alike. Today this artistic community is the center of Seattle's art scene.
First Thursday in Pioneer Square is the first Art Walk in the USA. In 1981 a group of Pioneer Square art dealers printed handout maps, did small-scale promotions, and on the first Thursday of the month painted footprints on the sidewalk outside their galleries. First Thursday soon evolved into a beloved fixture on the local arts calendar.
Today, First Thursday takes place each month in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood, from 5 pm to 8 pm, when leading art galleries throw open their doors to introduce their new exhibitions and artists.
The Art Walk in Pioneer Square is enhanced by the dozens of public art installations that can be found when walking between galleries. From the historic Native American Totem Poles in Occidental and Pioneer Square parks to the bright red "Sentinels" on guard outside the new Fire Station 10. A complete list can be found at www.seattle.gov.

I probably did not have the right kind of custard mix, because mine never set up that well. The praline was delicious though, so I will probably make it again with the more traditional pumpkin custard instead.

It wasn't! I think it took 4-5 business days, which can be cutting it close with the 7 day window for prescription pick-up (especially if you have a weekend in the middle, which I did) but it was approved pretty fast.

"O Night When Christ Was Born"
Black & Right has a beautiful video of Chris Mann singing "O Holy Night" on the Tonight Show. I'm surprised that the media gods still allow Christian music to be broadcast on MSM.
Just wait.
» 7 Comments
My all time favorite Christmas hymn–thanks for posting this!+4
Refreshing. There is hope. Thank you Jay Leno. Thank you Chris Mann and your group.
And a very Merry Christmas to all of you at IOTW.
It has been a great year of chat, despite the let down.+4
Shock and Awe! Nobody, not even NBC can stop Christmas and it's true meaning! Wonderful presentation of my favorite Christmas song.+3
That's my favorite Christmas song and that rendition gave me chills. Lovely!+4
I've never heard of his young fellow until tonight. That was quite lovely.
I love Jesus with my heart and soul and although he probably wasn't born in December, it is this time of the year when the days grow dark so early, the cold temps keep us more home bound, and all the Christmas glitter comes forth to lift our spirits, that I reflect much more deeply on Him, his teachings and why He died for us.
Christmas time makes me reflective and happy at the same time. I can't imagine living in a world where we would never hear a handsome young man sing this beautiful song for us again. Or a world with no glittery lights and Chritmas trappings to help us get thru the long, dark days of winter.
It is deeply saddening to think we have to praise Jay Leno in this day and age for having the 'nerve' to invite a performer on his show to sing a beautiful Christmas song.+4

Grand Valley State University Team Press Releases
Lakers wrestle tough at EMU Open & MSU Open
11/20/2008 -
GRAND RAPIDS MI - To kick off the official season Grand Valley sent wrestlers to the Eastern Michigan University. Each wrestler had tough matches against the likes of DI, II and III wrestlers. Overall Grand Valley had 3 placers. Joe Kuzmicz bumped up to wrestle at the 285lbs weight class and took third losing a close match in the semifinals in the 3rd overtime 4-2. Other placers included Derek Marshall (184lbs) 5th and TJ Sobeck (133lbs) 5th. TJ made an impressive outing after losing his opening match and then fighting back and revenging the loss against John Herbert (MSU) in his final match 11-4.
Overall these were Grand Valley's first matches against other opponents and they showed great toughness and grit. Wrestlers returned to the mat again at Michigan State this past Sunday for the MSU Open.
The young GV wrestlers faced stiffer competition this time. It was a long day, but the Laker wresters showed perseverance. The results were not as glamorous as the EMU Open but it was a great learning opportunity. The Lakers were able to put there skills against some of the best up and coming talent in DI wrestling. From these matches, GV wrestlers will be able to see how they need to improve in the future.
A top performer of the day was again TJ Sobeck. Though no one stood on the medal stand for the Lakers, TJ stood toe-to-toe with some of the best. He showed resiliency and great skill. He will be interesting to watch the rest of the year and looks to be a contender in the 133lbs weight class in Virginia this coming March for NCWA National Tournament.
GVSU Lakers Win Third Straight Title
The Grand Valley State University Wrestling Team returned from Lakeland, Florida with its third consecutive NCWA National Championship. This is the fifth title for the Lakers in the 11 year history of the NCWA. The Lakers earned ten All-American honors led by two National Champions. Jo....

Grand Valley State - Pre-Season Review
Outlook: Grand Valley has been one of the powerhouse NCWA programs over the past decade and this year should be no different as they return 15 National Qualifiers from last year's squad that finished as National Runners-Up. While the Lakers were 2nd at the NWCA National Tournament, they....
Grand Valley State Goes 3-0 at Mott Duals
The Grand Valley Wrestling team competed this past weekend at the Mott Bear Duals. This event marked the Lakers final competition of 2010 as they finished the day 3-0. This leaves the team at 6-1in dual competition for the fall semester. Each wrestler recorded at least one victory on the d....

Great costume, but keep in mind that the pants run very small and the material does not stretch. :) If you normally wear large, you may want an XL.

(BUG) When I completed a quest as the last enemy in a dungeon, the message "Quest Completed" and "Dungeon Completed" were displayed at the same time, one on top of the other so it wasn't really readable.
There are some minor spelling errors, especially in the titles that you get bonuses for at the end of each game.
The game seems simpler than I hoped. Especially with the dwarf where it seems like cashing almost all spells for health is a good idea. I got to 18 with the dwarf, but the enemies get tough enough around 15-16 that no matter what you do it seems like you're going to be losing life at a pretty fast clip. I'm sure with a few more tries I can get to 20 and unlock the last hero, though. But I'm not sure I see enough choices in the game to want to play a lot more. I like the concept but I am just not sure there's enough of a game there.
So any plans for a iOS 5.x release? Coz i bought the paid version only to find out it's 6.x only.
Some comments:
1. The biggest problem I see with this game is that it works best with a mouse (I played the Mac/free version). If you need to, play it on an iPad, it is a lot better (experience) than with an iPhone/iPod Touch.
2. It is also a lot harder than the Mac version. I have yet to encounter bugs such as crashing, using an iPhone 5, 6.0.2. and iPad 3, 6.0.1.
3. Playing on an iPhone, the battle screen or most of the screen are optimized for the iPhone 5, but other screens such as menus are not. Black horizontal bars are visible.
4. Playing on an iPad, there are left and right vertical bars. Yes, vertical, unlike the iPhone 5 which is horizontal. Probably because the squares and character panel are not going to be proportioned with the iPad screen.
5. On an iPad, when loading (black screen) it is kind of annoying to see a 1x1 pixel vertical line (for a few seconds) thanks to the non-optimized screen which is showing the playing area.
These are minor issues, and since the dev is quite active and works hard with updates and changes, I hope the game will only continue to improve and provide a better experience, especially right now, the UI.
"Casual" rogue-like. Now, there's a contradiction in terms.
Duzzat mean if a dungeon crawler like this is casual it isnt a roguelike?
Played the free version. I'm not having crash issues on my itouch 4th gen. However most of the pop up boxes with the info on what I've just selected is messed up. It pops up cut off at the top of my screen so much so that all I see is the bottom of the box and green checkmark. I cannot see the text at all. Dunno if its just the free version that only has this issue. Fun little game but cannot buy the paid ver with this issue.
Hello everyone!
Okey. Few words. I'm TERRIBLY sorry for ads issue. It's a bug. I NEVER wanted people to see ads while playing. This is my huge mistake and error that I let this happen. It will be fixed as soon as possible ( I will send update fix to appstore today )
About menu glitches, they were fixed for android version but as iOS version take time to be moderated it was already out dated. This one will be also fixed.
Maybe it wasn't a great decision to make app universal as it looks different on different platforms and I didn't have enough experience to suit everything well.
Nevertheless I'd like to say that there will be updates and enhancements. I wont leave this game and of course do all my best to make it better and better.
For example right now I'm remaking gui, dividing spells and loot, add consumables and hero mood system for global buffs/debuffs.
As i play more with the iPad, im having crashing issues now. I cant say what happened, other than i am just pressing the tiles and/or hitting monsters. I had it crash once also when i used a spell on a skeleton. Please fix these issues as I did pay for it to show my support to the dev. Thanks.
iPad 3, 6.0.1
Darn, I was hoping this would be a game I could enjoy on my iPad.
Okey, I've sent little fixes for current versions. ( I inform when they will be approved )
1) iOS ver requirements dropped to v3.2 ( why I used last ver dunno )
2) Ads in game session removed
3) Dropping menu bug fixed
4) MAYBE in the full version ipad crushes fixed. I say maybe as I didn't get any crashes at my 3gs, iphone5 and ipad 2 and it's very hard for me to check out floating bug.

Obama bringing world leaders to Chicago for NATO, G-8 meetings
BY LYNN SWEET AND FRAN SPIELMAN Staff Reporters June 22, 2011 12:30PM

Updated: September 24, 2011 12:20AM
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will bring world leaders to Chicago next May for a G-8 summit and a NATO meeting — gatherings Mayor Rahm Emanuel said will provide an international showcase for the city, despite financial and security headaches.
Obama will announce the meetings — where Afghanistan and the NATO alliance will be on the agenda — during a Wednesday night speech on his plan to draw down troops in Afghanistan.
An Obama White House administration official told the Chicago Sun-Times that the two distinct meetings will take place at the same time in the president's adopted hometown, in locations to be determined. The 2012 summits in Chicago "will provide President Obama with opportunity to continue his leadership of our most important security alliance, to fulfill commitments made by allied leaders in Lisbon in November 2010, and to sustain our joint work to revitalize NATO to prepare it to effectively meet challenges of the 21st century,'' the official said.
"They will review the progress in Afghanistan since the Lisbon NATO Summit, and discuss the next phase of our transition to full Afghan security in 2014."
The meeting will run from May 15-22, 2012 and will be an opportunity for Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama's former White House chief of staff, to show off the city to the world.
But the meetings will also bring massive security and financial challenges to the cash-strapped city. Similar gatherings of world leaders have attracted thousands of protestors. When Pittsburgh hosted the G-20 summit on global economies in September 2009, a public-private host committee partnership was created to help share the costs, much as for a political convention.
Sending the meetings to Chicago is a tangible demonstration of the Chicago White House clout. Chicago landed the G-8 and NATO by appointment, not through a competitive process.
A City Hall source said Emanuel talked to Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley about hosting the events in Chicago.
This is the first time Chicago has hosted either group — and the first U.S. city outside of Washington to host a NATO gathering. The last time and place a city hosted both gatherings was 1977 in London.
In Chicago Wednesday, Emanuel said the gathering of world leaders in Chicago will provide an unprecedented opportunity to get worldwide attention.
"From a city perspective, this will be an opportunity to showcase what is great about the greatest city in the greatest country,'' he said. "It's an opportunity for the City of Chicago economically, but also a message internationally about why Chicago is a city that's on the move and, if you're thinking of investing, Chicago is a place to invest."
In 2002, Chicago played host to a two-day meeting of international business leaders known as the TransAtlantic Business Dialogue (TABD) that attracted hundreds of protesters from across the country.
The meeting went smoothly, but not without an unprecedented show of force by police.
But that effort is expected to pale by comparison to the security needs of the 2012 NATO/G-8 meeting. Emanuel said the city will be ready.
"There's no doubt about that. And one of the things I'm gonna be working on is raising the private resources necessary to supplement what we have to do," the mayor said.
"While there is no doubt there will be security needs. This is also an opportunity for the city that is unprecedented from an economic standpoint and job-creation standpoint."
The G-8 member countries are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The gathering also includes European Commission and African nation leaders.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has 28 member countries.
