It may have been ladies night Tuesday on American Idol, but the boys stole the spotlight Wednesday.
Once again, the judges only called to the stage the 10 singers who impressed them most, eliminating the remaining five.
Rocker Caleb Johnson, 22, kicked things off and stayed true to form with "Stay With Me," a "real rock star" performance according to Jennifer Lopez, who added, "It's your time."

There were new twists, familiar faces and loads of drama on American Idol Tuesday night, as the ladies kicked off the first of the live performance shows.
The new twists? In what was dubbed Rush Week, the judges reviewed tapes of the Top 15 Girls and picked the 10 that impressed them the most to perform, surprising the ladies one at a time.
The familiar faces? Randy Jackson, the "Dogfather" of Idol, was back to mentor the contestants, leading a sort of Rush Week "wisdom workshop" for the pledges, which included vocal coaching from former Idol contestants Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry, and guidance from stylists, a movement coach, and a pair of spiritual advisers.

The final contestants were added to American Idol's Top 30 Thursday night … almost.
In a surprise twist, the judges couldn't decide which singer would round out the Top 15 Boys and, for the first time, are leaving it up to America to choose.
And it all came down to the odd couple: country singer Ben Briley, 24, who sang "Stars" for his final solo performance, and silky voiced Neco Starr, 22, who sang "Halo" by Beyoncé despite battling a cold.

After thousands of auditions, hundreds of golden tickets and weeks of performances, there was a first on Wednesday's American Idol: An openly gay contestant made the Top 30.
M.K. Nobilette, 20, broke that barrier, saying, "I'm very obviously gay, and there are always gonna be people in America … who will definitely hate me, but I think that in the last two years there have been a lot of things that have really changed that."
"The world is changing," said Jennifer Lopez, "and we think you could be an American Idol."
American Idol's Group Round Brings the Mama Drama

The group round of American Idol's Hollywood Week is always filled with drama, and this year was no exception: Harry Connick Jr. quit the competition.
As a joke, of course.
"I am dropping out of the judges' panel," Connick said, after the surprising exit of Tiquila Wilson, who quit without warning to follow her dreams of becoming a gospel artist.

The final tickets to Hollywood were handed out on Thursday's American Idol, and the last singer to book a seat on the plane reminded Harry Connick Jr. of … Barbara Mandrell?
Referring to the popular '70s and '80s country singer and TV star, Connick told Tessa Kate, a 25-year-old from Branson, Mo., that she had the same timeless "vibe."
Kate sang "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash and although Jennifer Lopez said the guitar-playing performer "almost went into chipmunk territory" with her high-pitched notes, Keith Urban said, "You've got your own lane."

OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría has warned of a "crisis of globalisation" if governments succumb to protectionist pressures. Speaking to the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris, he said emergency stimulus measures taken by governments during the crisis needed to be carefully conceived and monitored to preserve the long-term strength of the economy.
Donors should honour their aid for trade pledges to developing countries despite the economic crisis, said OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría as he opened the OECD Policy Dialogue on Aid for Trade, held in Paris on 3 November 2008.

The world is rapidly transforming and a number of dynamic emerging economies,including South Africa, have become major players and trading partners with the members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD). In this context, the OECD Members have recognised the need for theOrganisation to become more open and relevant in order to realise its strategicgoal of becoming an important hub for dialogue on globally
According to the OECD Secretary-General, the current international food crisis is a global challenge and agricultural commodity prices should remain high and grow more volatile in the next decade.
Angel Gurría focussed on the role of global governance in crisis prevention in this speech, which was delivered at the "Conference of Foreign Affairs Committee and Development Committee Chairpersons of the European Union Member Countries" in Finland, on 28 September 2006.

State backs high-performance computing facility to attract wide range of industries
"4 technologies that will turn soldiers into superheroes"
Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise
In the heart of Cajun country, Louisiana state and municipal officials are completing the construction of a $27.5 million, supercomputer-powered 3-D visualization complex that they hope will become the nucleus of a new Silicon Valley.
The Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise (LITE), which could be operational by late April or early May, would immediately support research and development activities for independent oil and gas companies that don't have the expertise or investment dollars for such immersive technologies.
Officials supporting the LITE complex said its leading-edge technologies could attract other industries, such as medical, biotechnology, environmental and entertainment companies — and help those industries incubate new products. Officials said the project could also help New Orleans and other areas recover and rebuild following the devastation from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
"We're not trying to be industry-specific, but we are trying to be science-specific," said Gregg Gothreaux, president and chief executive officer of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA).
By granting commercial access to high-performance supercomputing and advanced visualization technologies through a high-speed, fiber-optic network, Louisiana officials are creating a new way of doing business, Gothreaux said. "A business can simply walk in the door and contract to use the facility without any previous relationship," he said. "There's no doubt that's unique, and we think it's just going to open the door to more opportunities."
Interacting with data
Officials from LEDA, the state government and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette formed a partnership to develop a state-of-the-art, 70,000-square-foot facility on the university's campus. The state is mostly funding the complex, although officials have received some private and federal funds.
The complex will be co-named the SGI Center for Innovative Research and Advanced Visualization because Silicon Graphics Inc., located in Mountain View, Calif., is integrating and installing the high-performance computing, visualization and storage technologies.
Twenty-two SGI Altix 350 servers, each powered by 16 Intel Itanium 2 processors, provide high-performance computing. The storage-area network can hold 8 terabytes of data. The complex uses 3-D software developed by Mercury Computer Systems.
The LITE complex comprises four rooms that companies, university researchers and others can use. Mark Fallentine, SGI's project manager, said developers will complete the construction in the next two months. The center will celebrate its grand opening in early July.
The first room is a 3-D cave system, or immersive space, where people can walk into an environment that provides visual representations of data, something similar to the holodeck on "Star Trek," Fallentine said. The three-story, six-sided room uses six projectors to display 1,050 x 1,050 pixel resolution images on all walls, the floor and the ceiling.
Ramesh Kolluru, director of the university's Center for Business and Information Technologies, said this 3-D immersive technology could, for example, help oil and gas companies explore the Gulf of Mexico for resources.
"You can talk about a geologist sitting down on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico looking up at…a fault line and knowing exactly how they can perform the operation of vertical drilling at an angle so they can avoid the reservoirs that have already been tapped significantly."
Kolluru said the immersive technologies could also help physicians perform telesurgery or telemedicine and conduct other medical procedures. Several companies are interested in using the application to help the state recover and rebuild from last year's hurricanes, Kolluru said. With the ability to process large data sets from aerial imagery and geographic information systems and other resources, officials can simulate models of surges, tidal events or weather patterns and their effects on the infrastructure, he said.
If researchers need more computing capacity than the facility can provide, officials said, the center can draw aggregate supercomputing power statewide through a 60-gigabits/sec connection to the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative. It is a $40 million statewide fiber-optic network that links mainframe computers at the state's major research universities.
The statewide network also connects to the National LambdaRail, a transcontinental optical Ethernet and IP networking infrastructure built on more than 10,000 miles of fiber-optic cable. National LambdaRail is designed for national-scale research and experimentation in networking technologies and applications.
LITE's complex will contain a 175-seat auditorium with a 37-foot curved screen created by three advanced projectors providing limited 3-D visualization. There will be an executive conference room with a two-rear projection system, enabling users to conduct PowerPoint presentations, videoconferencing and other applications. Fallentine also said the building will have another conference room with a three-projector screen system that supports 3-D environments.
"The heart of the visualization is fed from the SGI Prism computer in the data center running a Linux operating system," Fallentine said.
Society-changing technology
LITE appears to be paying dividends before it opens. For example, university officials were able to recruit Carolina Cruz, who has made major contributions to immersive virtual reality research, from her position at Iowa State University.
The complex has generated a great deal of interest, and officials have spoken with several companies about how advanced technologies could help them solve problems associated with energy, homeland security, wetlands protection and the rebuilding of levees, Gothreaux said.
The business model for the facility will enable some companies to and lease supercomputer time, he said. But three tenant companies within the building will be the primary users, along with strategic partners such as SGI, Christie Digital Systems and Global Data Systems, which operates the LITE data center.
Gothreaux said the project was conceived three years ago to help Lafayette, located in south central Louisiana, diversify its economy. The city has a relatively low unemployment rate, and the community voted last year to spend $125 million to bring fiber optics to every home.
"We were looking for an economy-changing — even, to a certain extent, a society-changing — science," Gothreaux said.
Kolluru said the university received federal funding to start a technology incubator to help spin off or start companies or enhance a company's current offerings. He compared LITE's commercial accessibility with the early days of the Internet, which began as a government research tool and eventually created a whole new economy.
The combination of supercomputing driving advanced visualization technology on a high-speed network will help create a whole new type of economy, he said.
"That's exactly what will happen because we've not offered these kinds of technologies to businesses in Louisiana and even more broadly to small and medium-sized businesses before," Kolluru said. "As such, I see a tremendous opportunity in the kinds of things that happened when the Internet was available as a tool for businesses."
Twenty-two Silicon Graphics Inc. Altix 350 servers, each powered by 16 Intel Itanium 2 processors, will provide the high-performance computing. A storage-area network, built on an 8-terabyte SGI InfiniteStorage TP9500 Redundant Array of Independent Disks, provides instant data sharing. Amira VR software from Mercury Computer Systems creates a 3-D immersive environment.
The areas that constitute the complex include:
In each room, a tracking system is available, enabling a user to view the 3-D image from different angles depending on the user's movements. The 3-D image is redrawn relative to the user's position when the user moves his head or a wand. In the auditorium and conference rooms, audience members are provided glasses that enable them to view 3-D images to some extent.

GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — If Scandinavia is to celebrate a first-ever major winner, "The Iceman" will need to stay solid in the Muirfield heat this weekend.
'The Iceman' stays solid in Muirfield heat
Henrik Stenson has gone under the radar at the British Open, but two rounds of 1-under 70 left the rejuvenated Swede tied with Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods and in the last group out Saturday with leader Miguel Angel Jimenez.
Stenson is fondly remembered as the man who stripped down to his underwear to play a shot from near a water hazard at a CA Championship at Doral in 2009. And for winning The Players Championship the same year by blowing away Tiger Woods with a final-round 66.
On Sunday, he could write a whole new chapter.
"I'm up there and playing in a big tournament again," said Stenson, who placed third at the Open in 2008 and '10. "I think I've got the experience to do well in these championships."
Stenson's oscillating career is back on an upward slope.
After that victory at TPC Sawgrass, he was No. 4 in the world and had top-10 finishes at the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship that year.
As recently as 18 months ago, he was down to No. 230 and despairing about his game.
In the depths of the second slump of his 15-year pro career, Stenson turned to sports psychologist Torsten Hansson and the decision has worked out well.
He is one of the most consistent players on the European Tour this season and finished tied for third at last week's Scottish Open, a three-hour drive north of Muirfield on the Highland links. His accuracy off the tee was outstanding in Inverness and he has kept that up at the Open, hitting 23 of 28 fairways despite them being as bouncy and fiery.

Slain Toddler's Mom Pleads Guilty To Charges
The mother of a 1-year-old Maryland boy found dead in central Ohio has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence.
Listen to the Story
Nationwide Children's Hospital today showed off its new $780,000,000 expansion to elected and civic leaders, donors, and young patients.
A crowd of about a thousand turned out to take measure of the expansion at Parsons and Livingston. Among them, Tiffini Hefner of Mansfield and her five year old son, Beau.
"He was diagnosed here April Fool's Day, 2011."
Hefner says she and her son will spend much of his immediate future at the hospital. His treatment regimen is aggressive. But, she says it also gives her hope.
"He takes daily chemo everyday for the next two and a half years. And then he'll have five years of follow-up care from there and after the five year mark he'll be cured. We get to use that word more. About the age of 13 is when we'll start hearing that word cured." Hefner adds.
Also on hand at the dedication ceremonies, Jessica and Mike Hager of Pickerington.
"Our youngest daughter Madeline has asthma. So she's here quite a bit. So I think it means alot to the children when you start thinking about a child that can't breathe. Just to have the ability to do the research and the expansion so there's room for them really to go after this. You really can't put it into words."
Asthma is among the most common diagnoses among patients.
Nationwide Children's C-E-O, Doctor Steve Allen, says the new facilities also gives the pediatric hospital what he calls critical mass where researchers have access to a large clinical environment
"At one end we are doing gene therapy here. We're doing tissue engineering. Really high level stuff that nobody else on the planet is doing. And at the other end we have a group of researchers who are dedicated to finding out how children get injured and figuring out ways to prevent them from getting injured." Says Allen.
With the new expansion, Children's now has 460 patient beds at its main campus. Board chair Abigail Wexner says with the expansion in both research and patient care the hospital will draw from a wide area.
"We already draw from every county and from every state in the country, but I think as our national reputation grows we'll continue to draw even more." Says Wexner.
Wexner says the expansion allows children's to deliver care in what she calls the "best environment." Every patient room is private to reduce the chance of infection and allow family members or caregivers to sleepover.

<s:Group xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="35" height="140">
<s:Path data="m 0 34
l 35 -34
v 140
l -35 -34">
<s:SolidColorStroke weight="1" color="0x000000"/>
<s:SolidColor color="0xCCCCCC"/>
This produces the following image:
I can see the stroke element around the diagonal edges on the top and bottom, but not along the vertical edges to the left and right. Sorry, I am very new to making custom shapes like this in Flex. What's making the difference here? Thanks!
I haven't had time to look into one of the comments yet. However, a couple of experiments I've run:
1: Changing data to:
"m 1 34
l 33 -34
v 140
l -33 -34"
produced this result:
2: Changing data to:
"m 1 34
l 33 -34
v 140
l -20 -34"
produced this result:
In each of these two cases, the right edge went ahead and showed up, but the left one did not.
It may be worth mentioning that even in Flash Builder 4.6's Designer tab, the left edge is missing.

Peyton Manning Takes Pay Cut, Will Play Another Year With The Broncos
Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler will have to wait even longer for his turn. Multiple media reports on Wednesday say that Peyton Manning has agreed to take a $4 million pay cut and will play in Denver at least another year.
AP Source: Peyton Manning Meets With Elway, No Word On Plans
A person with knowledge of the meeting tells The Associated Press that Peyton Manning huddled with Broncos general manager John Elway on Thursday to talk about his future in football. No decision was announced on whether Manning would return in 2015 or retire.
11 Broncos Starters Who Didn't Make The Pro Bowl — And Where They'll Fit In 2015
When running back C.J. Anderson joined 10 teammates on the Pro Bowl roster Monday, the Broncos set a franchise record with 11 players earning all-star honors, eclipsing the 10-player mark from the 1998 Super Bowl season.
Game Grades: Broncos Dreadful In Loss To Colts
There was one team ready to move onto the AFC Championship Game Sunday night, and it wasn't the Denver Broncos. The Indianapolis Colts out-preformed the Broncos in every aspect of the game and won the playoff contest 24-13.
Top 5 Plays From The 2014 Broncos' Regular Season
The Broncos provided plenty of highlight-reel plays en route to 12 wins this season. Here are the five best.
Broncos–Colts Game May Be Determined By No-Name Running Backs
Peyton Manning versus Andrew Luck and his former team, the Indianapolis Colts. It's a dream matchup for the NFL, but a playoff game that could be decided by the play of two relative no-names at running back.
Sanders: Broncos Ready For 'Real Season' Matchup With Colts
By the time the Broncos and the Colts kick off Sunday in the AFC divisional round, it will have been more than four months since the two division winners battled in the season opener.

Studs And Duds: Denver Broncos Enjoy Mostly Positive Players In Regular Season
Denver is stacked with talented players thanks to John Elway's construction of the team over the last four years. So, there have been far more "studs" than "duds" this season, and we'll look at a few specific men here.
Broncos Announce Honors For C.J. Anderson, Connor Barth & Chris Harris

Althought Richards hadnt developed into the consisitent offensive player I thought he would be after an 80 point season a few years ago, I would have never predicted in a million years that he would be traded away since his intangibles were just as valuable as his points.
As for the trade, I had read the hype on schenn and seen the type of player simmonds was so i thought that it potentially could be equal value for richards at the very best. But after watching the flyers and kings so far this season i have to admit to being dead wrong about this trade. The deal favors the flyers and I never thought that was going to be the case. Schenn so glimpses of being a phenomonal player, much more then richards did at 20 years old in my opinion, so we will see what happens down the road with that. Simmonds is going to be a 20-25 goal scorer that is a pain in the butt for opponents to play against for the next decade.
As for Richards, in my opinion, something is missing. I cant put my finger on it but he just isnt the same player he was a few years ago. I dont know if he is always injured or if there are off ice issues, like the ones always reported. But he had an 80 point season in 08-09 and was a finalist for the selke trophy. He hasnt had more then 66 points since and he might not break 45-50 this season. But his points totals are the least of the issues in my opinion, he is far less physical then he use to be, his hit totals has gone down every year along with his points. I feel like when he is physical the rest of his game follows suit. Maybe it was the hit on Booth a few years ago that is always in the back of his mind when he is out there on the ice?
I wish I had a better reason for richards game going down but I just cant come up with anything substantial. But I do hope that he finds his game and resumes what i thought was going to be a very successful career. I wish him success in every game, well, except when he plays the flyers...
This will not sit well with the purple colored glasses crowd...

Sports of The Times; Hamm Hits Bottom, Lands on His Feet, And Flies Away With the All-Around Gold
By SELENA ROBERTS
Published: August 19, 2004
ATHENS— THERE was Paul Hamm, another American favorite falling from grace, stumbling backward across a mat and into embarrassment as he landed on, of all places, the judges' table.
Now his backside was sliding toward the esteemed ones' chin hairs next to the vault apparatus that had betrayed Hamm. Now his realistic chance at a historic gold medal in the all-around for the United States had cement shoes on it.
''I thought, that's it,'' Hamm said last night. ''I'm done.''
This has been the careworn anthem of so many American front-runners at these Summer Games, many of whom arrived in Greece with good intentions only to fumble expectations like a soap bar.
I'm done, Venus Williams could say after she double-faulted at match point yesterday. That's it, Andy Roddick could say as he found himself on the downside of an upset, too.
America's B-movie all-stars hummed the same blues lyrics when they hit bottom in a humiliating loss to Puerto Rico in men's basketball earlier this week.
What about the United States swimmers failing to qualify for the men's 100-meter race? And the American women finding themselves squeezed out of the gold by the Aussies in a swim relay they owned shares in?
Even Michael Phelps, with more gold medal bling-bling than a lounge lizard, has had to answer to the overreach of his Mark Spitz bravado. Even the women's gymnastics team, with silver as an honorable keepsake for its effort, was all but forced to apologize for failing the gold hype on Tuesday night.
Now Hamm would surely be the next underachiever. He wasn't the usual doomed suspect, though. Unlike Roddick, Venus or the Dreamers, Hamm was an unassuming gymnast from Waukesha, Wis., who landed in Greece without ''Entertainment Tonight'' celebrity. Unlike Phelps, he had made no bold predictions about the measure of his greatness.
He was simply Paul Hamm, a freckle-faced guy with red hair, polite as a scout, wholesome as peanut butter and jelly. And yet the nice guy with the soft voice had just plunged from first to 12th place after a vault score of 9.137 in the fourth of six rotations at the Olympic Indoor Hall.
''Here I am, I'm going live to America, saying, 'It looks like it's all over for Paul Hamm,''' said Peter Vidmar, an Olympic analyst.
Vidmar is also the 1984 Olympic silver medalist in the all-around, getting as close as any American man had ever come to the coveted gold. As the world champion, Hamm was the chosen one to fill that gaping hole in history.
First, he had to climb out of his own hole, one as deep as a wishing well.
''I was upset,'' Hamm said. ''I was depressed.''
After sitting teary-eyed against the arena wall for several minutes, he shook off his despair. Well, maybe bronze, he thought. Maybe he could still win a medal if everything went right.
''I just went for it,'' Hamm explained. After one determined performance on the parallel bars, and the gift of a few glaring glitches by the leaders, Hamm found himself in fourth place with one rotation to go.
Was he channeling Sarah Hughes? At the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, she was in fourth place before her final turn, deciding this last skate was her all-or-nothing instant. And she got it all, every last triple-triple jump, leaping from fourth to the gold at the end of her unfathomable night. In an instant, Hughes redefined the face of the Winter Games, replacing the gloom of a judging scandal with an incandescent glow, vanquishing Olympic doping controversies and Salt Lake bid escapades with her magic show.
Incredibly, Hamm pulled a Hughes redux. With his grip on the high bar unshakable, he attacked his routine as never before, having faith through three straight blind release moves that prompted the crowd to gasp. He then spun off the bar, and landed like a javelin, sticking to the mat, not daring to move against the roar of the fans. He needed a 9.825 to gain first.
''He did an amazing routine,'' his United States teammate Brett McClure said. ''He was determined not to fail. I thought he had it.''
What did the judges think? On the matrix board flashed a 9.837. Sarah Hughes fell off a chair when destiny found her; Hamm put his hands on his head in disbelief before embracing everyone but the volunteers.
It was a pure response, one truly uplifting, and one potentially inspirational for every American athlete in Athens.
''I hope all the athletes who weren't either sleeping or training saw what just happened,'' said Bob Colarossi, the president of USA Gymnastics.
''It could be a tidal wave of good things for everybody,'' Bela Karolyi, the women's team's former coordinator, chimed later.
It was the kind of miracle finish that could wash over anyone in a U.S.A. jersey -- even the Dream Team of misguided shooters -- before it's too late. It was the type of feel-good comeback the folks at the United States Olympic Committee had been waiting to see.
''I think a natural-high moment in the Games is still to happen,'' the committee's chief executive, Jim Scherr, said earlier this week. ''When it does, there could be momentum from it.''
Can a Hamm-made night of unlikely glory lift the United States from its current funk? It has a mathematical chance. And as Hamm found out, that is all you need to replace an embarrassing fall with a spellbinding resurrection.

Check out beautiful cabins that'll inspire you to start designing your dream log home today.
More in Blog Cabin
So you thought log homes were a uniquely American phenomenon? Well, think again. These lodge-like structures sit squarely in a mountainous area of northern Slovakia, where a tradition of log living is centuries old. The design has a clearly European flavor, but the lumber preparation and construction techniques are similar to those in the United States and Canada. These particular homes were designed as weekend getaways, suitable for families of 3 or 4 out for a ski holiday or mountain bike adventure. Another area where traditional log home construction is enjoying a resurgence is Scandinavia. Check out some of the Finnish and Norwegian designs for a unique perspective.

Stagecoach - yee haw! at the Polo Fields!!
Bon Iver was incredible last night at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Probably the most quiet I've ever seen the crowd there and it was sold out to boot! The band really took advantage of the acoustics there and it was sweet. I got to hear Re:stacks and
Beaches for the first time which was amazing. They also didn't mess up on Beth/Rest like they did at the Shrine. Seeing them three times in the last year has been a real treat and I'm glad. It was so cold it added to the music when the air was blowing.

In the next month or so, I will have a "roommate." And although I have had roommates before, I haven't had one in seven years and never one of this sort.
To prepare, I have been going through old things and throwing out what I need and don't need to make room for said roommate and his belongings. However, he won't have many belongings, so this task isn't actually physically necessary, but more spiritually so.
Cleaning for me is like losing weight. If I plan to do it, I never will. So I take advantage of spurts of energy and motivation (which is usually just procrastination of something else I don't want to be doing) and go through the large plastic cartons I must have bought from Target years ago.
I hate moving, and for someone my age who is not married, I haven't moved all that much. But when I moved seven years ago I felt like a fugitive. Very quickly, I had to leave a place where I was living with roommates (one of which was my brother who was getting married and moving into a house with his wife) to find somewhere to live and settle in. The funny thing about this is that for at least six months prior, I knew I'd be moving, but I thought I'd be moving to Israel with my then fiancé.
So when I moved out of my brother's condo in June of 2004 I didn't clean out much of anything, just placed unnecessary remnants in plastic containers, and I have maintained this pattern since. I'm not a hoarder or anything, but as I sort through the big plastic boxes of documents, bills and sometimes random items, I'm forced to confront my past.
Since I started cleaning (which was embarrassingly enough last August—I know, I know, like I said, it's not my strength) the boxes are (not surprisingly) stacked in order of years like an archaeological dig. This is accidental, because if I had an organizational prowess, I wouldn't have the stacks in the first place. So today I cleaned 2007. What I found (of interest):
1. My parents' trusts 2. All of the manuals to my kitchen appliances and car 3. A pearl necklace. The box makes it look like it's valuable. Who gave me a pearl necklace in 2007? 4. A wrist radio that I worked out with (I know that sounds like 1997, but it was in there). 5. The medal from riding the M.S. 150.
Recently, my roommate-to-be explained to me the process of construction in Israel. (I knew this already, but because he is a tour educator he sometimes adds interesting facts, which he did.) Because there are so many artifacts, all construction is stopped and delayed if any antiquities are found during the process of digging. Once the site has been properly excavated and recorded, construction can continue. This makes the process of building anything in Israel long and arduous.
So, it makes me laugh to hear people complain about the amount of time it took to open a Trader Joe's on Clark and Diversey, just as it makes others laugh that it's taken me seven months to go through four years of boxes.
What can I say? I guess I'm on Ramses II's time table.

Location terrible - not near golden roundabout or traveller area. The rooms are horrible, there was no locks on the doors, mould on the ceiling, they let men bring in prostitutes and one of the workers admitted they had taken Valium. Thank god we only stayed for one night! Don't stay here!!

With All Wood and Doors, veteran composers/ vocalists/musicians James Lee Stanley and Cliff Eberhardt took songs that are practically hard wired into our collective pop culture consciousness and put a uniquely fresh spin on them. Following on the heels of the critically acclaimed All Wood and Stones by James Lee Stanley and John Batdorf, (vintage Rolling Stones songs reinvented by Batdorf & Stanley), All Wood and Doors is the inevitable next step, and it's not hyperbole to use the word masterpiece. Choosing twelve classics from The Doors' catalog, Stanley & Eberhardt have maintained all of the Doors mystique, while bringing something completely new to these songs. The arrangements are focused on Eberhardt's raspy tenor and Stanley's dulcet baritone, combined with the incredible magic of their acoustic guitar interplay. With full endorsement and contribution of the Doors original drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger, as well as an all-star lineup of additional guest musicians, it is truly a remarkable recording. Master musicians and entertainers on their own, Stanley's & Eberhardt's stage show delivers a mix of the All Wood and Doors record, their own originals, and witty and humorous stories and stage banter. Doors and potluck at 6 PM, show at 7 PM. $15 suggested donation, but none turned away.

I'm just doing a couple of songs here after Lizanne Knot and before Cliff Eberhardt, both of whom are tremendous talents. It's an honor to be in the same room with them, much less the same stage. Thanks, Cliff, for making a spot for me -- you're my hero.

Cliff will be performing at Cafe Eleven. Show will be opened by St. Augustine's own Chelsea Saddler. Tickets on sale now, available at Cafe Eleven or online at ticketweb.com for $18 Cliff recently won a prestigious Helen Hayes Awards in April 2013.. Cliff Eberhardt is one of the champions of contemporary folk music. He grew up in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, not far from the Main Point Coffee House where he heard and was influenced by musicians like James Taylor, John Prine, Bonnie Raitt, Muddy Waters, Mississippi John Hurt, Jackson Browne. Growing up in a musical family, the Great American Songbook songwriters like Cole Porter, the Gershwins, and Rodgers & Hart also impacted his music. Cliff started playing professionally at age 15, and after stints in Illinois and Colorado, became a major figure in the New Folk scene in Greenwich Village in the 1980s, along with peers John Gorka, Suzanne Vega, Lucy Kaplansky, Julie Gold, Steve Forbert, Christine Lavin, Shawn Colvin. Eberhardt has released nine albums, including 500 Miles: The Blue Rock Sessions, his most recent on his label, Red House Records. In the spring of 2012, he appeared at the Folger Shakespeare Theater in Washington, D.C., where he received rave reviews for his performance of his original music as The Blind Balladeer in a Wild West version of The Taming of the Shrew. Cliff is a gifted songwriter and performer of his contemporary folk, bluesy and romantic songs, delivering extremely strong live shows. His superb guitar playing, soulful singing, and engaging wit make for a "compelling, thought-filled, emotional roller coaster of a concert."
