Alex LakeThe music of Hozier and Ariana Grande couldn't be more different, and that's why it's so much fun to hear the Irish singer/songwriter put his own spin on the pop diva's smash hit "Problem."
Hozier covered Ariana's hit for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge program, which features artists doing cover versions of other artists' current tunes. Hozier gave the song a rock feel, performing with a full band and even a 10-person choir. Hozier told BBC Radio 1 that he chose the song because he "always found it to be quite an irresistible little beat in the verse and we could have a lot of fun with it."
Hozier and Ariana are both Grammy nominees. Both will perform on the Grammy telecast February 8, and both are kicking off U.S. headlining tours in February.

ABC/Randy HolmesIggy Azalea seems to have no problem venting her frustrations via social media. Following beefs with Snoop Dog and Azalea Banks, the rapper has called out designer Steve Madden for releasing unauthorized modeling images for their latest shoe collaboration. Although she's since apologized via Instagram, her mentor T.I. feels the rap rookie is handling her Twitter rants the wrong way.
A TMZ photographer caught up with Tip to ask if he agreed with Iggy's actions.
"Absolutely not, I think she should focus on what got her here and that's her music, her performing, and continue to just present her talents to the world," he said. When the photog asked if she should just leave the drama alone, Tip replied, "Pretty much, man."
On Thursday, Madden released images via Tumblr from what Azalea says was an unapproved photo shoot, which prompted the rapper to tweet about how "livid" she was at the time.
"Everything in a collaboration is supposed to be mutually approved. But Steve madden did the most disgusting photo shoot ever and never Even told me about it, I'm just now seeing it as its uploaded on some random tumblr page and iam livid," she wrote in a series of tweets, which were deleted but captured by Fader.
Steve Madden has not only password-protected the Tumblr page, but the brand has addressed this misunderstanding.
"This was a lover's quarrel," the company tells USA Today in a statement. "We love Iggy and are very excited about our collaboration. When you get two artists working together sometimes there are fireworks. It's our creative differences that allow us to design an incredible collection and we are looking forward to sharing it with the world!"
Meanwhile, fans can expect Iggy's upcoming capsule collection of shoes to arrive in February.

Courtesy NBCIf the new promo is any indication, season eight of The Voice is going to be epic. The commercial for the new season, set to air during the Super Bowl on Sunday, shows the four judges arriving for a gritty, underground cage battle, clearly inspired by the 1985 action movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
Adam Levine enters the thunderdome-like cage, where he's met by Blake Shelton, who teases, "You're late again." Then, returning judge Christina Aguilera shows up and taunts them: "Hey boys! You're both late to the party. My party!" Pharrell Williams drops down from the ceiling and the judges all take their places in their red spinning chairs.
Host Carson Daly commands the battle to begin and a singer starts belting out a tune -- "We Don't Need Another Hero," Tina Turner's hit theme song from the movie. The coaches hit their buttons and are ejected from their chairs. The clip ends with the four of them flying straight at each other, ready to duke it out.
The new season of The Voice premieres on February 23 on NBC.

Alex LakeHozier's "Take Me to Church" is being worshipped around the globe. It hit number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, gained admiration from famous fans like Taylor Swift and Adele, landed the Irish singer gigs on Saturday Night Live and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and nabbed him a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. Not bad for a tune that was initially recorded in his parents' attic fewer than two years ago.
"I always thought of myself as a very, very obscure artist," the Irish singer tells Rolling Stone. "I never thought Irish radio would be turned on by my music -- or any f**king radio station, excuse my French."
It's true that the ballad, which takes aim at the Catholic Church and mixes blues, gospel, folk and soul, sounds like almost nothing else currently on top 40 radio. That's because Hozier, born Andrew Hozier-Byrne, didn't grow up listening to modern-day hitmakers. "We lived far out in the Irish countryside," the 24-year-old says. "We had a very, very bad Internet connection."
His main source of musical education was his father, who played drums in blues-rock bands and owned a collection of vinyl and cassettes. "I developed a fascination with the roots of African-American music," Hozier says. "I love Muddy Waters and Nina Simone. I also watched The Blues Brothers movie over and over."
Eventually, he taught himself to play guitar and started writing songs. His crude attic demo of "Take Me to Church" got him noticed by the indie label Rubywords, who teamed him up with producer Rob Kirwan. After his music video for the song went viral in 2013, he attracted the interest of labels from around the world. Columbia signed him in the U.S. and the song took over American airwaves shortly after.
While Hozier's happy that "Take Me to Church" is a huge hit, he says he worries about the possibility of it becoming too big. "You don't want a song to be bigger than yourself," he says. "I mean, do you? Maybe you do. I don't know. I guess I'll find out."
As of right now, he's too busy accepting the offers brought on by newfound fame to start working on a second album. "Sadly, I'm too busy to work on my second album in any meaningful way," he says. "But I have a guitar with me everywhere I go and I'll try to keep the ideas coming. I just won't be able to do much meaningful work until 2016, I think. We've just had some fantastic offers this year and we don't want to pull any punches. We're really going for it."

Mountain Province Diamonds Announces Successful Permitting Of Kennady North Diamond Project
Drill contract concluded
Shares Issued and Outstanding: 80,715,558 TSX: MPV NYSE MKT: MDM
TORONTO AND NEW YORK, June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. ("Mountain Province", the "Company") (TSX: MPV, NYSE MKT: MDM) is pleased to announce that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Kennady Diamonds Inc. ("Kennady Diamonds"), has received a Type A Land Use Permit from the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board in respect of the Kennady North diamond project.
"Receipt of the Land Use Permit clears the way for us to commence the summer drill program at Kennady North", said Mountain Province President and CEO Patrick Evans. "We have retained Yellowknife-based Northtech Drilling Ltd. to conduct a minimum 2,500 meter drill program, which will commence immediately", Mr. Evans added.
Plans are in place for two drill rigs to be mobilized to Kennady North with the first rig focussed on in-fill drilling along the Kelvin - Faraday kimberlite corridor, where a number of high priority drill targets have been identified. The diamondiferous Kelvin, Hobbes and Faraday kimberlites, located approximately 10 kilometers from the De Beers JV at Gahcho Kué, were discovered in the early 2000's. The second drill rig will test approximately twelve newly discovered kimberlite targets that are accessible during summer. The remainder of the high priority targets will be tested during a second phase winter drill program which will be conducted in early 2013. Patrick Evans commented: "Our priority at Kennady North is to define a resource along the Kelvin - Faraday kimberlite corridor. The close proximity of these kimberlites to the Gahcho Kué mine, currently being permitted with JV partner De Beers, raises the potential for them to add to the projected mine life. We will also be testing a number of newly discovered high priority geophysical targets that correspond with unexplained kimberlite mineral trains not associated with the known kimberlites at Kennady North. We are very excited about the Kennady North exploration program and are also keen to commence drilling of the newly discovered geophysical targets at the De Beers JV." Final analysis of the data from the Fugro airborne gravity gradiometry (AGG) survey over the De Beers JV leases resulted in the identification of 55 geophysical targets of which 23 are interpreted as high priority. The JV partners are expected to announce a follow-up exploration program in the near future.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

HELENA — After winning a lengthy court battle with the state, a Bozeman nonprofit group Thursday will make the salaries of nearly 15,000 state employees available on a website viewable by the public.
The Montana Policy Institute is posting the information on a website, www.opengovmt.org, which will include salaries for individual employees in the executive, legislative and judicial branches in state government.
While salaries for state employees in Montana are public information and can be obtained on an individual basis from the Department of Administration or an individual department, no individual or group had posted all of them on a website previously.
People using the website can look up salary information by employee in departments or by job title and sort the information by agency or statewide, for each of the past three years, from highest to lowest or vice versa. The website covers salary data from 2009 to 2011.
Salaries for Montana university system employees are not included yet, although pay information for the staff of the commissioner of higher education office is in the database.
The institute, a right-leaning nonprofit group in Bozeman that promotes free-market approaches to problems, obtained the data in a lawsuit against the state Department of Administration, which oversees the state payroll.
District Judge Dorothy McCarter of Helena ordered the department to provide the pay information in electronic format to the institute for the past three years. The institute, which intends to update the salary database annually, was ordered to pay for the costs of computer programming to make the salary information meet its specifications.
The pay information includes summary statistics in areas such as employee demographics, average compensation values, union membership and funding source.
Website users can view salary data for employees based on name, department, location and many other criteria.
"The site is nonjudgmental about whether the numbers are too high, too low or just about right," said Carl Graham, CEO of the Montana Policy Institute. "But it does put the lie to recent statements that state employee pay has been frozen."
He said the information shows the real (after inflation) average increase for state employees was nearly 11 percent between 2004 and 2011, with the largest increases going to those making more than $75,000 annually.
There are several ways for state employees to get raises. They can get pay hikes when the Legislature passes an across-the-board raise in base pay for all state employees. Employees also can get longevity pay increases added to their base pay for every continuous five years of state service.
In addition, under the state's broadband pay plan, department directors have more flexibility to adjust employees pay if they meet certain criteria and the agencies have the money available to do it.
Base pay for state employees was frozen when the 2011 Legislature rejected a pay deal negotiated by Gov. Brian Schweitzer's administration and three unions representing public employees. The deal would have raised base pay for state workers by 1 percent in January 2012 and by 3 percent a year later.
Shortly before the 2009 Legislature, these public employee unions agreed to a two-year freeze in base pay for public employees making $45,000 or more. Those making less than $45,000 each received a one-time $450 payment.
Compensation for state workers also figures to be a major issue in the 2013 Legislature. The unions and Schweitzer administration agreed on a pay plan to provide across-the-board 5 percent increases in base pay in each of the next two years, plus a 10 percent increase annually in the state's share of employees' health insurance premiums.

PhyllisAnn commented on the blog post Late Night: Pouting Baby Doesn't Understand Why Creepy Clarence is Allowed to Lie
I'm an old women and over the years both in the military and out I worked for 29 various ministers, priests and rabbis. The one theme I came away with is that the rules, laws, standard operating procedures etc do not apply to conservatives, just other people. They do whatever they want and what is in their best interest because if they want it it must be right but don't you try it. So, this whole mind set doesn't belong just to politicians but to things like the length of lunch hours, tennis during office hours, days off, and I can go on and on. I think they are hard wired to think that way. Doesn't justify what Thomas and wife have done but I'm not the least bit surprised.

The Tecido Platter mimics a common way that buffet restaurants display their food. They often disguise ugly or mismatched dishware with table clothes and other types of fabric. In this case, however, the Tecido Platter is simply covered with a fake piece of fabric. It has been masterfully sculpted out of porcelain to look like a draped piece of cloth.
Designed by Goncalo Campos, the Tecido Platter was created in collaboration with Vista Alegre, a Portuguese Porcelain and Crystal company. Although the look achieved is both elegant and delicate, the Tecido Platter is incredibly functional as well. Available in two version (single or two-tiered), it can be used to create impressive arrangements of fruits, breads and more.

POSTED: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 9:30pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - 7:04am
EL PASO, TX (KTSM) — UPDATE: Tuesday afternoon NewsChannel 9 cameras caught El Paso Police checking a silver vehicle that matches the description of the car that hit Bullard. Red tape surrounded the area where the car was parked at an apartment complex in west El Paso off of Shadow Mountain Drive. El Paso Police would not confirm is it was indeed the vehicle that hit Bullard.
The El Paso Police Department's Special Traffic Investigators have learned that 48-year-old Trenton Bullard was in the northbound lanes of N. Mesa when he was struck by a vehicle, described only as silver in color. That vehicle did not stop to help, but police did locate the driver and vehicle on Tuesday.
Two other vehicles, a red Fiat and a blue Toyota struck Bullard while he was still in the northbound lanes of Mesa. The drivers of the Fiat and Toyota remained at the scene.
Bullard was not in a crosswalk and investigators have not yet determined why Bullard was in the roadway. Bullard died at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
Any person with information on the silver vehicle that fled the scene is asked to contact police at 915-832-4400 or to remain anonymous you may contact Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 915-566-8477.
This is the 29th traffic related death of 2013 compared to 31 at this time in 2012.
This is the 9th pedestrian death of 2013.
El Paso Police Detective Mike Baranyay identified the victim in Monday night's deadly pedestrian crash as a man, but a name or age has not been released.
According to Baranyay, the victim was in a lane of traffic along N. Mesa and was not in a crosswalk when he was hit by a minivan. The driver of the van remained on the scene and has cooperated with the investigation.
Several other vehicles and witnesses also stayed at the crash site to help with the investigation, including a Sun Metro bus driver. The bus was not involved in the accident, but Baranyay said it could help with the investigation.
"The bus is being held here for evidentiary purposes. Buses do have cameras all around the bus so hopefully the investigators will be able to obtain some video, maybe give them some more insight into what led to the crash," said Baranyay.
Baranyay said it is possible that the victim may have been struck by more than one vehicle, but also said investigators would determine that.
The investigation on Mesa will be delayed because Special Traffic Investigators, STI, were still on the scene of another deadly pedestrian accident that happened about an hour and a half earlier at 8:15 p.m. on Paisano and San Marcial in South El Paso. Baranyay said either a second team would be sent out, or they would have to wait for the team to wrap in South El Paso.
Police closed off N. Mesa between Castellano and Mesa Park while they waited for STI to arrive. The closure lasted until the early morning hours Tuesday. Drivers had to find an alternate route.
El Paso Police investigated another deadly crash Monday night, this one happening at the intersection of Mesa and Castellano in west El Paso.
The crash happened around 9:45 p.m.
Shortly after the crash, police had not yet been able to determine if speed or alcohol were factors.
The investigation continued throughout Monday night.
Earlier in the evening, another deadly crash claimed the life of a woman in south El Paso.

Item Description
This item will sell on November 15, 6pm PST in the Get Your Rocks Off: Enchanted Arts auction.
Ships from United States within 2 business days of payment.
This Fluorite Octahedron is a good size, weighing in at 53 grams, it is about 2 1/4 inches at its widest point. I have a second, smaller high quality fluorite octahedron to offer as a bonus.
It has shades and stripes of purple, blue, green, and pink, and has what looks like an iron inclusion in one of the fractures. The octahedron is flourite's natural shape, this was made by nature.
Fluorite is used to filter out energies, for healing, and for amplifying the effects of other stones. It is said to absorb negative energy, which is a great way to filter out unwanted energies, a must have for the empathic or reader. Got someone at work who's got a contagiously bad attitude? Fluorite will neutralize that effect.

Although I really dislike cover fx's makeup, I really like this primer. It makes my skin feel so soft, smooth, and makes my complexion look very healthy. Helps makeup blend smoothly. A little goes a long way.
Sometimes I use this as a moisturizer overnight as well if my skin is especially dry.

I only started using this product because of the Cover FX foundation, which only works properly with products from its own line.
I do not have wrinkles, and I used this primer in the past when I had acne prone skin, and now I just have "normal" or "dermatologically regularized" skin, and I honestly believe this could work for anyone, since none of the ingredients can cause a reaction unless you are allergic to them of course.
Let me say this first: This is the only product I have ever come accross that actually does what it says.
Moisturizes your skin? Check.
Regularizes skin texture? Check.
Preps skin to extend wear? Check.
Helps blend foundation? Check.
The only thing I can't really "check" is the anti aging claims, but even on the bottle it has "anti-aging" in quotation marks.
It is expensive, but the bottle lasts a long time and I rather pay more now to have good products and maintain nice, clear, beautiful skin than buy cheaper or even more expensive "branded" skin products that will end up costing you more to fix your skin later on.
Cover FX is a Canadian dermatological brand, and the reason I discovered it is because my dermatologist recommended it to me as a foundation when I had problematic skin.
When it comes to facial skin, I only use dermatological products: whether it be for creams, foundations, primers, treatments, anything really. This is the best tip I have for a nice complexion.
The only con to this product: I really miss the pump bottle they had in the past! The new tube, while probably cheaper to produce, doesn't give the same "bathroom look".
Apart from that, I can't picture myself without this primer for even a second.

This may not be something I would ever purchase, per se, but it is a damn good product. I used this under my MAC Pro Face and Body Foundation in White for my Columbia makeup for the Rocky Horror ball this past Saturday, and, for the first time since using that makeup, it didn't migrate everywhere else all night! When I got home almost 12 hours later, my foundation was still flawless, which is quite a feat for my very oily skin. I also love Laura Mercier's primer though, and I've been using an Amazing Cosmetics primer sample from sephora...so I'm really not in the market to buy.

I love this serum! It does a great job under makeup, my skin is incredibly soft, too. I started using it as a night time moisturizer and I noticed my skin even out, and it gets rid of blemishes quickly. A must buy, but be careful not to use too much...

This is the first primer I have ever used, so take this review with a grain of salt ;)
I personally LOVE this. It is a serum, essentially, and absorbs so nicely into the skin leaving my face feeling incredibly soft. My makeup applies so nicely and evenly whenever I use this. I have combo/oily skin, and on days I use this primer I very rarely have to blot, powder or touch up. It does an incredible job at keeping my makeup from settling into my lines too.
I bought a smaller, travel-sized tube from Sephora pretty inexpensively, and when I realized how much I liked it I looked into getting a full-sized tube...it's pretty pricey! I'm not completely sure if I'll attempt some other less expensive primers first or if I'll just decide to shell out the money for the Cover FX since I like it so much. I still have a good amount left in the travel-sized tube and I've had it since December I don't use it everyday), so a little goes a long way...the full-sized tube would certainly be worth it if you take that into account.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Black, Straight, Medium Eyes: Brown
I've used this on and off for a few months, depending on what type of foundation I am using. I typically use this with foundations that are lighter in coverage, and require light oil-control for my combo skin.
This is great at filling in the fine lines on my forehead, and blurring the appearance of the larger pores on my nose. A little of this goes a long way; do not apply too much as it will make your foundation gummy. I use pea size amount for my entire face.
This absorbs almost instantly, but does have a greasy feel upon application. This works best for me in the colder months, when my skin requires a bit more hydration and is not as oily as it can be in the summer. My face looks smooth and healthy and not completely matte, nor dewy---just skinlike. I do require one or two blots throughout the day though. Not good for summer though as it does not absorb enough.
It is quite costly, but I got this while on clearance as Cover Fx changed their packaging and older stock was drastically reduced in price. Usual retail that I've found in Canada is $42 1 fl. oz.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Cool Hair: Black, Curly, Coarse Eyes: Hazel
First of all, I'm a big fan of the Cover FX brand. I love the creme foundation and the blush. Both are well-worth the money, last a long time and are skin-friendly. Now on to my review of the CoverFX Skin Prep FX.
I have used quite a few primers. Among them Revlon, Smashbox, Laura Geller and Cover FX. Off the bat, I'll tell you the best of the lot is the cheapest--Revlon!
This primer is extremely "liquid-y". It isn't clear--has a transparent yellow color, which blends right into the skin. This is rather pricey--I shelled out $39.00 at Sephora.
What really annoys me with this product is the time it takes to absorb into the skin and "dry". It takes about five or six minutes into my morning routing. That, in my opinion, is too long to wait--especially on a work day! When applying, it just feels kinda oily at first, but once it absorbs, the oily feeling is gone.
In all honesty, I feel that the less expensive primers work better to "grasp" the Cover FX creme foundation AND the other liquid foundations I may be wearing on any particular day.
I would not purchase this again as I truly believe this is a very overpriced and "eh" type of product!

Hi I got the small sample as a gift and have never used anything like this no primers but I have used it for 2 days and 1 night now and what little redness I had is gone. I do break out like maybe 2 bumps a month when its around that time of the month but I used this and it even cleared them up also. I have sinitive skin so I will see in a week what happens.

Surprised about the good reviews on this. It didnt work for me. I think it is only good for the coverfx foundations. This primer is like a vegetable oil in terms of its texture. It also is yellow-ish, totally looking like vegetable oil. It feels very greasy. I have very dry skin so I thought this would prevent my skin from drying out when if I used a foundation over it. But no, it did not help at all. It has Q10, for anti-aging purposes but I am not sure if it does anything. This also does not have spf. It takes a while to dry. Also I find that my make up balls up when using this and does not help fill in pores. Overall, this primer is good if you are using the Coverfx make up products. I found other products were not compatible with this primer. Becuase of its oil-like texture I donn't think it provides much of a barrier or protection on your skin.

Worst cosmetic experience ever.....this is a great product for many it seems but I got an allergic reaction on my face for the first time. Ladies, it was fierce! Most my face was covered in tiny, itchy red bumps. My pharmacist recommended Benadryl for relief and that took the itching away but it was days before the bumps settled down and dried up, then I was left with a pile of pimples.
On the up side.... I emailed CoverFX and a lady was very prompt and helpful in getting to the bottom of what ingredient may have caused this. Turns out I am allergic to coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone). So... an awful experience but the customer service was very much appreciated.

Better than Pampered Chef version
Bought this to replace a much worn Pampered Chef version. Found that this slides better and is easier to use.
I recommend this product. -
A very handy tool in the kitchen
When I first saw this I thought it was a gimmick but once I used it I couldn't imagine how I got along without it! It is perfect for measuring those items that are thick, sticky and hard to remove from a container. I also use it for measuring frosting for a cake.
I recommend this product. -

So I have made my final deposit, but did not pay for the ddp as I wasn't sure of my dates give or take a day and was told as long as I'm adding to my total I wouldn't pay a penalty. I was going to do that tomorrow, as our arrival date is the 28th, however we had a family emergency, and now I'm not even sure what the status of our vacation will be. Can I still add the ddp/make date changes up to 3 days prior arrival or 2 weeks without penalty, as I've heard both?
You can add it, but any changes made within 14 days before check-in, you will pay a $15.00 fee whether you add or delete something to your package.
So $15 even if I'm changing the dates by a day or two?
I was told that as long as the price doesn't decrease you won't be charged a penalty buy if it decreases you do have to pay a penalty (I thought the guy said $50, but I could be wrong).

New in the Shop & A Fall Gift for YOU
The fall equinox is around the corner. Have you started to plant your fall garden? To celebrate the change in season I have updated the shop with a few new items including these sweet cards based on my original papercuts. All were inspired by my wanderings in the wild hills around my house, or by the memories of sitting in my Grandmother's garden in Maryland before heading back to California at the end of summer.
They warm my heart and I hope they will warm yours too. Right now if you go and like my Facebook page you can get access to a 10% off your entire order starting now through September 17th. I have some special Halloween inspired works that I will be sharing here soon too.
What are your favorite aspects of fall?
GIVEAWAY// Win a Back to School Book Pocket Mommy by Aila Malik
We start back to school this week, and making that transition is often a difficult one for my son. Since he is home with me most of the time, it is challenging for him to be away from his mama and from his home for long periods of time without feeling anxious. He got some practice of being away from home this summer when he attended a 4 week day camp (he was gone every day from 8:00 am-4:00 pm Monday-Friday for a month!). How I wish I had had Aila Malik's book Pocket Mommy earlier in the summer to help him through that transition, but I am so grateful to have received a copy recently to help us with our next transition of back to school.
In the book Pocket Mommy Zayan is preparing for his first day of kindergarten. He is anxious about the new experience and not sure what to expect. Most of all he feels sad that he is going to be away from his mom. Zayan is a lucky boy because his mom is one smart lady. She crafts a small paper doll of herself and gives it to Zayan to tuck into his pocket and take to school with him. Zayan is able to pull out his pocket mommy whenever he needs encouragements, to ease his anxiety, or to feel a little connection to his mom when he is feeling homesick.
My son loved the story. We are working on our own little pocket mommy for him to take with him on his first day of school. And, you know what dear readers? Aila Malik sent me a copy to give away to one of you! All you have to do is follow these simple steps:
To enter just use the entry form below.
a Rafflecopter giveaway
This giveaway will run through August 29 2014 and is open to GoatNotes readers and Fans of CutOut Studio worldwide. The winner will be randomly chosen and announced here shortly after.
Thanks again to Aila and Zayan for giving GoatNotes readers the chance to win this amazing book! Good luck!
You can purchase your own copy of Aila's book from Amazon. Just follow the link below. Please note I am an Amazon affiliate and will make a small commission off of your purchase.
My 4 Favorite Art Business Podcasts
Yeah, that's me (yes I am taking a selfie) with no make-up rock'n my headphones as I get podcast smart |
I am not going to lie. I listen to a lot of podcasts. This is mostly because I do a lot of work on the computer and I work from home, so I get lonely. Is it weird that I kind of feel like I know some of these people? I like to pretend that they are my friends. Okay, I know they are not my friends but it would be really cool if they were!
In the last year I have been scouring the internet and iTunes for some of the best podcasts about art and business. This was no easy task. There are plenty of podcasts about being an entrepreneur or how to make a million bucks (Eventual Millionaire is pretty awesome even if she doesn't focus on art businesses).
For some reason there is this belief that artists and business don't go together. Artists are "too flighty" to carry out a solid and well run business, at least this is what I hear often, and often from the mouths of artists! I am here to say that this is not- and does not- have to be true. Here are my favorite podcasts that debunk the whole "starving artist" mentality.
Here are my 4 Favorite Art Business Podcasts:
1. Creative Insurgence- Cory Huff and Melissa Dinwiddi provide stellar interviews with successful artists and tackle that age old conundrum "starving artist" head on.
2. Jess Lively Show- Jess interviews some amazing entrepreneurs with a bent towards artful businesses. I especially loved the Whitney English episode. It is authentic and vulnerable and provides some true gems of wisdom.
3. The Fresh Rag Show- Dave is a straight talker and gets the dirt on what it means to be a working artist. His interviews are insightful and thought provoking.
4. After the Jump- Grace Bonney the creator of Design*Sponge hosts this well put-together podcast. Through insightful interviews with designers and artists Grace is able to pull out information and guidance for all those of us artists just getting started with ease.
Do you have a favorite art business podcast? Or business related podcast you just can't get enough of? Let me know in the comments. I will generate a whole list to share on the blog.
Inspiration Fridays
Once a week I keep an eye out for little gems of wisdom to keep my heart full and my head happy. I will share the ones that lingered with me longer and made me catch my breath for a second. You know when this happens to you. It's like Karma, or spirit, or the universe, or God, or whomever you choose- touching your shoulder and giving you a polite nudge to stay focused on the present. Get out of your head for a moment. and live.
This week, as I was sitting in a very cramped child's picnic table at the park, and somewhat lamenting that I wasn't getting to do what I wanted to do, I adjusted my coffee cup sleeve and Oprah gave me a big ol' slap of reality. Yeah, thanks Oprah. You are totally right. I stopped lamenting and started playing with my daughter- and really did begin to enjoy my wood chip cookies.
Happy Weekend everyone!
How to Prepare for Your First Art Festival Like a Rock Star Lesson 1
The getting the making on |
It's Tuesday. I have less than 4 days to get all of my art Sh#@!t in order before this weekend. This weekend I am participating in my first ever Art Festival. If you live in the Bay Area, come check out Art in the Park in Downtown Martinez. It is sure to be some great home grown art. That sounds awful. Scratch that. It is sure to be a fabulous way to spend a weekend. Plus I hear they will have food trucks... but I digress.
Some Art Making is Happening |
So, you want to know how to prepare for your first art festival. Oh, boy. Have I got a TON to share with you, and I have not even made it to the festival yet. Hence, the "Lesson" as part of the title of this post.
Lesson #1. Don't FREAK OUT.
Seriously. That is my first lesson. If you freak out then you won't even do the work it takes to find an art fesitval to participate in, and then print out the vendor application, then print out pictures to send in to the jury, and, and, and....oh...I did say I have a lot to tell you right?
Again, don't freak out.
Me trying not to panic so I make pretty pictures instead |
The first thing to do is to breathe. Take a look around. Do you have some art or crafts you make that you think you might like to sell? Have you sold any to anybody before? If the answer is no then I suggest you don't jump head first in to selling at any type of festival. Do a little market research first. Share some of your artwork with your friends on Facebook, pin some pics of your work on Pinterest. Ask some of your family members if they would like to buy some art from you.
The more pieces you sell on your own the more confident you will be when it comes time to locating the best festival to start with.
Okay, so you have sold some pieces of art to your family and friends. Great! And you are ready to find the "perfect" festival to sell your work. Before you begin your hunt take out a piece of paper and a pen. Number down the side of the paper 1-8. Now, fill in 8 pieces of criteria your first festival needs to have. Here is what mine looked like:
1. Located near or in my own hometown
2. Affordable (aka less than $100 to sign up to sell as a vendor)
3. At least 3 months away from the time I decide I am ready to sell
4. The festival has been around for at least one year
5. The festival provides either it's own media or the materials artists need to promote the event (both is even better!)
6. The festival is on a weekend
7. The festival is jurried (more on that later) .
8. The festival is open to having new and emerging artists participate.
Once I had these guidelines to work from it was easy to choose which festival I would start with. It made it clear that I am not ready for the Renegade Craft Fair, but I am beyond selling my wares out of my garage.
I am beyond excited to be part of my first art festival. It has been a long time coming. The next lesson in this series will be about Jurried art/craft festivals vs. non Jurried. Please share your experiences with selling at festivals in the comments. Your support and wisdom will be the light me and many others need!

Yeah really, don't buy it then. There are plenty of us that will. I'm a grown man, 29oz doesn't mean crap, lol.
This is a discussion on NEW: Springfield XDS Single Stack .45ACP Micro within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Yeah really, don't buy it then. There are plenty of us that will. I'm a grown man, 29oz doesn't mean crap, lol....
Yeah really, don't buy it then. There are plenty of us that will. I'm a grown man, 29oz doesn't mean crap, lol.
29 oz is a brick for a single stack anything. My XD 45 Compact weighs just a tad more than that....and I agree. Great gun.
A 20oz XD single stack anything would be on my short list because I shoot them really well, mushy trigger and all. I'm disappointed that Springfield couldn't find a way to bring us a more "carry friendly" pistol for those of us that live in the tropics and don't wear a lot of clothes. During Florida summers, less is definitely more. Just ain't a whole lot of places to hide a gun when you're wearing a t-shirt, bathing suit, and flip-flops.
Kimbers are the guns you show your friends....Glocks are the ones you show your enemies.
So, how much does a compact 1911 weigh in at? I hear lots of complaints about weight. Perhaps it weighs what it does to absorb some recoil. Personally, this gun doesn't look tiny, to me. I see it's merits as a thin version of an XD - not a pocket mouse gun.
Hmmm!, and that is from a Glock lover!
I dont know if i like it or not yet. Mainly because it only holds 6 rounds! Better off getting a wheel gun 357 mag snubby that holds 7. With that being said im a huge XD fan i just think the XD subcompact would be better.
There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.--RAH
...man fights with his mind; the weapons are incidental.--Jeff Cooper
There is a reason they try and make small bullets act like big bullets--Glockmann10mm
I'll take 6 rounds of .45 over 7 rounds of .380 any day of the week. I've never heard people complaining about the LCP's low capacity. Take your pic, a wide double stack or a thin single stack, it's called a trade-off and an individual choice.
Hmmm. Now shave some weight off it, put in 6+1 of .40 cal and i might have to have a serious conversation with my .40 PPS
serious carriers snivel at 1/10" extra width or 2 or 3 oz in weight. May make the difference whether you can carry the gun all day or it becomes a safe queen. Newbies always think they can 24/7 carry a 60oz Desert Eagle.....and I just nod my head and grin. Yeah, sure. Check back with me next month and let me know how its goin' for ya.
Kimbers are the guns you show your friends....Glocks are the ones you show your enemies.
STI Elektra in .45 is 22.8 ozs.
If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
-Will Rogers
Im a big fan of the .22LR for bear defense.
Just shoot the guy next to you in the knee and run like heck.
I usually don't have a problem carrying my XD service model. Ninety-five percent of the time, it is fine. Sometimes, depending on attire, I could use a smaller carry piece.
Also, I just thought about the features of this gun. Since it is in the XD line, does that mean this gun isn't losing any?
(from the images, I can see that it has some of these)
Ambidextrous mag release
Round in chamber indicator
striker indicator
trigger safety
drop safety
grip safety
same style take-down (with or without trigger pull)
While I like this new XD and will work well for many, I don't see myself trading my XD sub Compact 9mm or XD .45 compact for it.
The little extra comfort / conceal-ability doesn't out weigh the advantage of the extra rounds my current XD's have.
Give em time. All others will soon jump on the bandwagon. I just wish springfield woulda done it sooner.

New Quick Beginners Guide For Social Wars Available Now By SocialWarsCheats.com
SocialWarsCheats.com, the leading online hints and tips website for the popular Facebook game Social Wars, has recently published a comprehensive ℠Quick Beginners Guide´ aimed at helping new players establish themselves in the game and rise to the higher levels in the fastest time possible.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) July 09, 2012
SocialWarsCheats.com, the leading online hints and tips website for the popular Facebook game Social Wars, has recently published a comprehensive ℠Quick Beginners Guide´ aimed at helping new players establish themselves in the game and rise to the higher levels in the fastest time possible.
Social Wars is a unique war simulation game that marries the city management and real-time strategy genres to create an authentic battlefield environment akin to something like the multiplayer version of Command & Conquer.
The game is set in the near future, when an Alien race of Orcs has invaded the Earth and it´s up to the player to stop them and defend humanity.
One of the most challenging aspects of the game is that players need to secure resources in order to better equip their ℠robots´, which they use to defeat the alien invasion.
According to SocialWarsCheats.com, this is an area where many players have struggled to make an impact, leading to many dropping out of the game before they can advance to the higher levels where more options become available.
SocialWarsCheats.com´s new Quick Beginner´s Guide aims to change that, by providing gamers with the information they need to successfully harvest resources such as gold, silver, wood and oil in the fastest time possible, so that they can equip themselves to defeat the aliens in the game´s early battles.
The guide contains numerous hints and tips on how and where to secure resources, allowing gamers to get ℠up to strength´ in the fastest time possible. SocialWarsCheats.com hopes that this will lead to more players sticking with the game for longer.
Dan Lim, editor of SocialWarsCheats.com, said that the quick beginner´s guide contained all the information new players needed to get off to a good start:
"Many new players have struggled to secure the resources they need to make any real progress in the game´s beginning stages, and this has led to a high drop-out rate. Our new guide details a step-by-step breakdown of what new players need to do when they first start playing, so they really can´t go wrong. We´re certain that anyone who reads the guide will get off to a much better start at the game than those who choose to go it alone."
SocialWarsCheats.com´s new beginner´s guide was published in a blog post on the site, and is available to read for free right now.
About SocialWarsCheats.com
SocialWarsCheats.com is the leading news and updates website dedicated to the popular Facebook real-time strategy game, Social Wars. It´s currently one of the most popular websites of its kind, providing regular news and updates about the game, as well as a comprehensive selection of cheats and tips.

windows freezes when copying large files AFTER a search.
I hope someone can help me. I have 2 internal-sata hard drives(320 gig. And 2tb.) and 1 external usb/2.0 hard drive (750 gig.). The pc is an old dell gx520 tower with a fresh install of win7 pro. No antivirus, network connection, or firewall enabled. Processor is a Pentium4 running 3 GHz with 1.5 gigs of ram. This is the problem: If I do a search on the 2tb. Drive for all of the jpegs, I have a total of about 84000 pictures. When I select all of the pictures and right click-copy and try to paste to another hard drive the pc will lock up and won't display a copy status window. Windows says it's not responding. Now, if I right click-copy a single folder which has anywhere, from a few files to several hundred gigs. of data in it, using the same 2tb. Drive, it will copy over to another drive just fine. I have tried, changing the swap file from "windows managed" to, up to 20 gig. Thinking the search was maybe having to write to the swap file. This didn't work. I also booted in to safe mode and tried to do the copy from the 2tb. To the 320gig. drive and still no difference. I have tried this with windows copy handler and teracopy. It all has something to do with the fact that I am doing a search for the files before copying them. Thanks for you help. |

I'm sure it was working, just gotta give it time. It may say it's not responding but that because it's not responding to you. It has to sort it out before copying.

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 30, 2009) Who would have thought that a six-foot-seven, 252 pound heavyweight champ would outwork and be more aggressive than boxings pound-for-pound king? Thats what happened on Saturday night at STAPLES Center, when World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko threw more punches in 10 rounds in his dominating title defense over Cris Arreola than pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, Jr. threw in 12 rounds in his defeat of Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept. 19..

1983-84 Boston Celtics
His Celtic teammates called him "Footer." The Garden masses would go crazy whenever he made a free throw. He always stood next to Kevin McHale duringthe national anthem. He was Thumper and McHale was Bumper - or was it the other way around?
For a guy who never played more than two quarters per game, Rick Robey certainly made an impression in Boston. He was a player with obvious flaws, but was always an effective role player and one of the most popular Celtics during the Bill Fitch reign of terror. When Robey left, Larry Bird said, "It's like losing a brother." Robey was an enforcer and his teammates appreciated him. He never complained about sitting on the bench, and still says, "I feel if you're gonna be a team player, you never open your mouth about certain things."
Robey and his devastating elbows are in Arizona these days. He was shipped to the Suns in exchange for Dennis Johnson the day before the 1983 draft. Last night Robey could manage only three points as the Parish-less Celtics, led by Bird's 29 points, beat the Suns, 126-118.
McHale started at center and was spelled by Greg Kite in the second period, but Kite picked up four personals and was not seen again. Winford King became the third man in the pivot in that period. By the fourth period the Celtics were at times playing without a true center.Ever true to his large form, Robey looked the same last night. His weight has stabilized at 245, but he says he'd like to get down to 230 by the start of the regular season. (He's been hampered with a groin pull since the first day of practice). Phoenix coach John MacLeod plans to bring him off the bench along with Alvan Adams.
It still hurts to talk about last year. Robey was benched for 23 of his last 46 games as a Celtic, and admits, "Last year was the toughest on me. I just kept sitting there. All the players realized the way the team was going. It wasn't the same as the year we won the championship. That year, everyone knew their roles; but last year, the roles kept changing from night to night. It made it tougher for us to win in a pressure situation, and that's why we
didn't at the end."
He has sold his house in Newton and severed ties with the Sports Gallery & Cafe investors in Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Boston is behind him, and most memories are good. They were good to me there and I had a lot of fun in my five years there," he says. "I had a lot of close friends who I played with there for four years. I hope the best for them and for K. C. I just hope we win one more game than they do."

Criterion Comparison: Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln' vs. John Ford's 'Young Mr. Lincoln'
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on November 21, 2012 | Be the First To CommentSince his infamous assassination in Ford Theater was re-imagined for D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation, American movies have been just as fascinated by Abraham Lincoln's image and legacy as American culture at large. Besides the general veneration directed towards his name, there are specific reasons why Lincoln has been a subject of considerable preoccupation in the moving image. Lincoln is an icon ubiquitous in American culture; his face resides on our currency and his larger-than-life status has literally been set in stone by the Lincoln Memorial. But at the same time, Lincoln occupied the Office of the Presidency years before the emergence of mass media as it is recognizable today. Having died several decades before the first images were captured on film, history knows Lincoln only through still portraits. On the one hand, this reality has emboldened the notion that Lincoln was a uniquely authentic President; this Kentucky rail-splitter of modest means and education didn't have to perform leadership for microphones, mass-distributed newspapers, or television cameras. On the other hand, the pre-cinematic status of real-life Lincoln emboldens curiosity about Lincoln the symbol versus Lincoln the human being. Live action cinema forces a rendering of reality concrete even if its subject matter concerns the mythic and the symbolic; any cinematic rendering of Lincoln may pose answers to a variety of questions, including details as difficult to know certainly as the sound of his voice.
Celebrate Freedom with 12 American Movies From the Criterion Collection
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on July 4, 2012 | Comments (1)Of the 600+ films in The Criterion Collection, almost 200 are listed as from the United States. While not all of these films are explicitly thematically based around life in the US, the American selections for the Collection do make up a mosaic of diverse perspectives on life in this country, proving that there is no sustainable solitary understanding of what it means to be an "American," but there exists instead an array of possibilities for interpreting American identity. What the American films do have in common, though, is provide proof that excellent films have been made in the US for quite some time. So, after exhausting yourself with Independence Day Parades, firecracker-lighting, and Budweiser, settle down with a great American movie. Here are a dozen great titles from the Criterion Collection about "America" and "freedom" in the many senses of those terms.
Over/Under: 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' vs. 'Once Upon a Time in the West'
Features By Nathan Adams on January 31, 2012 | Comments (10)Once upon a time, Hollywood was king of the Western and the idea of anybody over in Europe making a movie about the American Southwest as successful as something like High Noon was laughable. Italian-produced films about the west, or Spaghetti Westerns, were largely low budget knock-offs where fading Hollywood stars went to die after their careers had peaked. But the work of Sergio Leone changed that viewpoint. His "The Man With No Name" trilogy wasn't just a worldwide financial success upon release, the films have gone on to be seen as some of the greatest Westerns produced anywhere, throughout the history of film. And the final installment of that series, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, has especially become an important part of the fabric of pop culture. More than any other Western I can think of, it's stood the test of time and achieved a level of awareness that rivals any other classic film in any other genre. Often it's referred to as not just the definitive Spaghetti Western and Leone's masterpiece, but as the definitive Western, period. That's all fine and good, because I think The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is largely a great film; but I think he actually improved two years later when he made Once Upon a Time in the West, my pick for the greatest Western of all time.
Criterion Files #275: Godard Fights Cinematic Imperialism with 'Tout Va Bien'
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on June 1, 2011 | Be the First To CommentMuch of Jean-Luc Godard's cinematic output is inaccessible to American audiences. His most prolific period, the 1960s (in which he made 18 feature films) is almost entirely available, due in no small part to the Criterion Collection's well-justified infatuation with the cineaste's important and influential work. The output of much of his later career, however, isn't commercially accessible in the US including much-lauded work like Nouvelle Vague (1990) and the Histoire(s) du Cinema entries (1988-98). In fact, Tout va Bien (1972 – his most recent title included in the Collection) is to my knowledge the only film he made in the 1970s that's available on Region 1 DVD. This is all to say that here in the US, what we know of Godard we know mostly the first decade of his career. While it's unfortunate that cinephiles have minimal access to his later work, this complaint is not meant to undervalue the importance of the work he did in the 1960s. Godard made an unbelievable amount of brilliant and challenging work in an astoundingly short amount of time, and by 1970 he had emerged as a different kind of filmmaker altogether. Godard's 1960s work is, in a sense, the only logical starting point in order to approach an understanding of this later work. Godard's films are an ongoing exercise in personal growth, aesthetic experimentation, and political criticism. Each work builds off of what came before. With this weekend's US release of Godard's most recent work, Film Socialisme, the gaps in […]
Criterion Files #103: The Lady Eve
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on February 16, 2011 | Comments (3)Classic Hollywood romantic comedies provide an interesting moment in film history where genre formation and genre subversion developed as one in the same. The premises of these films are essentially contradictory. They reveal the institution of marriage to be just that, an institution constantly reinforced by culture but one that has only ascribed rather than inherent value. They play with and thus reveal the false ideals associated with the notion of perfect couplehood that in theory should propel two people toward marriage by portraying the constant dis-union and inevitable union of their characters as one predicated on deceit and double-crossings. All this occurs to ultimately marry the couple which as an act alone functions as narrative closure in of itself without ascribing exactly what that closure means to its characters, an overlooking of contradictions that supposes the institution itself wipes away all previous tensions. Marriage here is not a means to an end, but an end – and "The End," as the union is always accompanied by such a title card.
Old Ass Movies: Go West With 'The Ox-Bow Incident'
Features By Loukas Tsouknidas on June 28, 2009 | Comments (1)The Ox-Bow Incident is the story of a lynching that went right, but in the wrong way. Simple as an old man's morality tale and painfully to the point, it covers a timeless debate concerning law, justice and the misconceptions they suffer in our hands and minds.
To this day, 12 Angry Men somehow hasn't saturated some movie audiences, which is why I feel it's an important movie to feature here (in a column usually devoted to lesser-known classics).

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I would like to know if Obama or if Merkel initiated another set of talks

Also, the order of meetings within those two weeks will be something to

Merkel for talks with Obama on Iran, Middle East
Monday, June 15, 2009; 5:38 AM
BERLIN (Reuters) - Angela Merkel will meet U.S. President Barack Obama
in Washington in late June for talks on Iran's presidential election,
Middle East peace and next month's G8 summit, a spokesman for the German
chancellor said on Monday.
The visit would be the first by Merkel since Obama took office in
January. She had hoped to visit Washington before a G20 meeting in
London in early April but the trip did not take place because of
scheduling problems.
Merkel's spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm said she would visit Washington on
June 25 and 26 and the talks would focus on the July summit of the Group
of Eight in the Italian town of L'Aquila, Middle East peace and the
election in Iran.
Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won a landslide victory in
Friday's Iranian vote, sparking protests in Tehran and elsewhere in the
