Butch Walker admits that the ongoing meltdown of the music business has affected his wallet in a pretty gnarly way. "My living is done through producing records, but that living has dwindled immensely over the years with people not having to buy music," he says. If Walker's name doesn't ring a bell, some of the songs he has written or produced certainly will: Katy Perry's "Thinking of You," Avril Lavigne's "When You're Gone," Weezer's "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To."
Old-model fees for creating these hits helped build the shabby-chic Santa Monica recording studio we're sitting in, not to mention Walker's home in Malibu, where he lives not far from Beck and Jakob Dylan. Still, the 41-year-old is sanguine about the downsizing of his song-doctor career, if only because it frees up more time to fulfill the identity he really cares about: Butch Walker, Totally Awesome Garage Rocker.
"People that encourage me to produce and write more and do this less are idiots," Walker says. "I'll live. I'll figure it out."

In an artistic sense, at least, he's doing more than getting by. The Spade (Dangerbird), Walker's new album with his backing band, the Black Widows, is his finest collection of songs in a solo catalog that stretches back nearly a decade. (Prior to striking out on his own, Walker played in a string of groups in both Los Angeles and his native Georgia, including SouthGang, the Floyds, and Marvelous 3.) The tunes layer funny, well-observed words about love and music over rootsy arrangements that sound like they fell together seconds before Walker's engineer hit "record." It's straightforward stuff operating at the highest level of songcraft. Which doesn't mean Walker resists the occasional low blow. "I didn't name my band after an animal/I don't have any feathers or neon clothes," he sings in the indie-kid send-up "Synthesizers." "But I can stay out all night/Like Sacagawea in a paint fight."
Calling it the first "band record" he has done in years, Walker deflects some of the credit for The Spade's excellence. (I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart, from 2010, featured the Black Widows' playing but less of their creative input.) "We toured six months solid last year," Walker says of the group, which includes guitarists Chris Unck and Fran Capitanelli and bassist Jake Sinclair. "And in that time, it went from me being a solo artist to being a real band. They're not just what I call 'riser guys,' where a band will have a bunch of salaried dudes on risers who aren't allowed to move."
"There's lots of things Butch could be egocentric about—like the fact that he can play every instrument better than you," says Patrick Stump, who noticed Walker's esprit de corps when his band, Fall Out Boy, hired the producer to work on Infinity on High. "But he's not like that. He wants you to play it."
According to Jeff Castelaz of Dangerbird Records, Walker's humility extends to his commercial expectations. "Butch and his team have the exact right perspective on where he is as an artist," Castelaz says, adding that his goal for The Spade is to score a Top 10 single at triple-A radio. "They don't think—and this is a rarity in this business—that Butch is as big as the artists he produces."
For Walker, the Next Big Thing is yesterday's news. "I spent years chasing my tail trying to figure out who the fuck I was," he says. "We don't know how to be fashionable right now; I mean, this is basically a trucker-rock record. But I finally feel comfortable in my own skin."
Butch Walker and the Black Widows play the Gramercy Theatre October 24 and Music Hall of Williamsburg October 25.

It marks Kelvin's entry into the renewable energy market to back QED's Subhub project, which the company believes can offer a breakthrough in reducing the costs of deploying tidal turbines, so helping the industry become more commercially viable. The Subhub is a foundation structure for transporting and installing wave and tidal turbines aimed at replacing the need for large, specialist deployment vessels.
Jeremy Smith, managing director of QED, said: "These funds will allow us to commercialise Subhub in a strategic manner, to minimise the technical risks of the project providing confidence to the investors."
Jim Hall, co-founder of Kelvin Capital, said: "Jeremy and the team at QED Naval have patented technology which could be transformational for the tidal energy sector in Scotland and beyond and has already attracted significant government backing."
The Scottish Co-investment Fund will provide £200,000 now and a further tranche early in 2015.

good strong beliefs but no real evidence. If Christians keep trying
Now the root of the problem: ravensilver: . . . u m m bad experiance or something? in any case, if you truly ever understood God and his wonderful ways, you obviously would not put that stuff down. I'll pray for you, that God would bring you into the light of his truth.
Marym40, me, myself, and I: no harm intended in what was said, only godly correction.
Me, Myself, and I :): a lot of talking but not really any good solid refute to what was said. fellowship part:The bible says:"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness."I know this is being taken a little out of context, but the point here is that.

Although Christianity has it's moments of insane irrationalit y , it also provides hope for the people who believe.
2)MM&I, I don't believe that the big bang and evolution didn't happen, I think God set those in motion.
Anyways, rebbecah is a wonderful CHRISTIAN singer.
rivensilver, I truly feel sorry for you. Living without faith must be horrible.
Christianity is not a cult; a cult is a section of people who refuse to fellowship with anyone who is not of their same belief; Christians, on the other hand, will fellowship with anyone who desires fellowship. You obviously dont understand what Christianity is. Try going to a church. Ask the pastor to explain what we believe. Then make a choice: either eternal peace and life, or not. It is your choice. Im not forcing my religion on anyone, I just want everyone to understand i

LEBANON, IN (CNN/WXIN) -- Some documents found in a dusty Indiana barn years ago have resulted in a big payday for one family. Thieves stole the documents in the 1980s. A couple found them 15 years ago. Now, after years of searching, the mystery is solved.
In the dark corners of a rusty old barn, you never know what you might find. Mike Ranney's big find came 15 years ago. He says, "It was in a plastic sleeve, and each one of 'em was in a bank sleeve."
It was quite the discovery, and clearly quite old. Turns out what he found were savings bonds that dated back to the 1970s. The name on them: Harold Hastings.
Mike and his wife Angie got to work. Fifteen years, many fruitless searches, until, that is, this year. Angie says, "I thought, you know, I'll just Google him one more time."
The Ranneys found Hastings' kids, the ones those bonds were supposed to go to. Mark asys, "I was actually very nervous to call them because I was afraid they were gonna hang up on me."
Instead, they were greeted by amazement. Bob Hastings says, "I figured years ago it had all disappeared, so this is just a surprise out of the blue."
Bob Hastings and his siblings, all living out of state, knew about the bonds. They'd been stolen from their dad's safe in 1980. He says, "He told my sister he was sorry, he said, 'I had some stuff for you but I'm afraid it got stolen and I don't think I can recover it.'"
And maybe most amazing of all, Angie totaled the bonds and they are now worth $70,000. Hastings says, "I was like this can't be right. We just thought it was a small amount, he never mentioned an amount." All because of a chance encounter in a dusty old barn.
The Ranneys say they hope anyone would do the same, but Hastings knows this discovery was once in a lifetime. He says, "These people took that much trouble to track us down, very thankful."
Mark says, "Yeah, their dad hopefully is looking down and smiling."
It is still not known how those savings bonds got into that barn. The thief was never found.

N-5 Development Council seeks CM's intervention
BHUBANESWAR: With mushrooming high-rise buildings increasingly obstructing ventilation, residents of Nayapalli residential area alleged that a vacant space, which was allotted for the community was being handed over to private school.
The only big community ground, which was the only breathing space for residents of N-5 sector of Nayapalli area, was to be developed into a park. However, General Administration department was reportedly planning to allot the space to Saraswait Sishu Mandir and it irked the residents.
Addressing a press conference, president of N-5 Development Council Dharma Prasad Mishra said as per the master plan of Nayapalli Housing Scheme, N-5 Sector was provided with two open space areas measuring an area of 0.930 acre and 2.755 acre.
"While 0.930 acre has already been handed over to one Modern Public School, Bhubaneswar, the remaining open space of 2.755 acre was on the verge of being snatched away from the community," Mr. Mishra charged.
He said the space on which 600 families were depending was used for walking by senior citizens, it was the only playground of children and a number of community functions were being organised in that specific open space.
Mr. Mishra said the N-5 sector was already a crowded place having busy Indradhanu market complex, shopping malls, a number of hotels, commercial marriage mandaps, schools and colleges.
In the event of the space being handed over to a private entity, there would be no space for ventilation, no place for children to play and no place for old fellows to stroll and chitchat, association president said, adding that the environment would be total changed and it would be difficult for people to live here peacefully.
N-5 Development Council decided to meet Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik seeking his intervention for stalling the move.
This was not the only high profile organized encroachment that came to the fore, even a vast area behind State Secretariat was under occupation of encroachers.
Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) had earmarked a number of open space within the residential colonies when it had planned. Of late these spaces are either being encroached by influential groups backed by political outfits or being taken over by small time traders, who in due course of time demand for vending zones.
While some residents' associations muster courage to protest against encroachments the rest are silently witnessing their open space vanishing.

Up for grabs is a Britax Roundabout carseat cover. Carseat is being tossed, but the cover is still in usable, good condition. I thought someone maybe could use this.
The cover looks similar to this one: http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/child-car-seat-brown-combo.jpg
If interested, PM me your zip and I'll figure out shipping.

Environmental Justice Partnership, Inc.
Johns Hopkins University
Bloomberg School of Public Health
615 N Wolfe Street
Baltimore, MD 21205
CONTACT: Barbara Bates-Hopkins
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com
WEBPAGE: www.environmentaljusticepartnership.org
Function of Organization/Site:
The Environmental Justice Partnership is a non-profit organization that functions as the interface between environmental and other research establishments as they relate to East Baltimore and surrounding communities of Baltimore City to:
- Encourage partnerships between researchers and community members for all stages of research planning, implementation, and dissemination;
- Facilitate the equitable dissemination of pertinent information regarding local environmental and other research and its impact on the community, primarily through community education and outreach initiatives; and
- Educate the local environmental and public health research establishment regarding the response, approval, and concerns of the impacted community.
EJP first came together in January 2003 with funding from the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) which has ended. EJP conducted qualitative research that revealed that most East Baltimore residents feel that they don't benefit from research and in particular they reported that they don't receive the results of research once the study is completed. Public health research can be a benefit to individuals in East Baltimore, if researchers reach out and give back to community members what they want and deserve. We are hopeful that our educational and outreach program will be the catalyst that the community embraces as a reliable venue to receive and exchange meaningful community information.The Mission of the EJP is to address public health problems that impact East Baltimore residents by building a partnership of community based organizations that educate residents, advocate for environmental justice, and represent the East Baltimore community's interests to governmental agencies, academic institutions, and private organizations. The overall goal of the EJP is to improve the quality of life in our communities. The partners of the EJP include various community advocates and representatives of community organizations in East Baltimore, staff and faculty from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).

I was simply offering a possible explanation to Gummees question, that some cyclists press their "rights" to the point of being counterproductive, or being in conflict with other rules or laws.
I also posted,
That said,
In the real world, common sense dictates that only a self centered fool thinks they have the right to determine the value of other folks time with the expectation that there will be no negative consequences.
All users have rights, needs, and desires that conflict with others, its the obligation of all users to endeavor to minimize their negative impact.
We should make our choices based on how things actually are for everybody, not how we think they should be as an individual.

The key phrase is "set aside and intended for the use of pedestrians". The road shoulder is probably there to protect the road surface pavement not as a set-aside for pedestrians.
For example, presumably running or parking a motor vehicle on a sidewalk is not legal, but I'd not expect to be ticketed for parking on the shoulder, or driving along the shoulder when it was inappropriate to be on the roadway for some reason.
Riding on the shoulder doesn't automatically turn you into a pedestrian, though from what you've quoted, riding on a sidewalk, would.
At least that's my interpretation, FWIW.

Unlike some on this site, I am able to see two sides to most unpleasant interactions between drivers and riders. The fact that I tend to point out that cyclists can be just as annoying as the driver that runs too close when overtaking you, is because I know that in some cases cyclists instigate the issues by purposely holding the road, filtering, using both pedestrian and vehicle paths, and breaking basic laws, just to show that they can. I think that is unsafe first and unfriendly second.
On the subject of that portion of road outside the fog line being sidewalk, I'd have to agree with filmfan. If we assume the wide portion at the intersection is sidewalk then we would have to apply the same reasoning to the 8 or so inches that is outside the same line prior to the intersection. I doubt that anyone would consider that 8 inches a sidewalk.
In the previously mentioned case, what cyclists among you would have not been upset with a cage driver who reversed the situation. Imagine you are sitting in the lane to make a right turn and a cage pulls up on the shoulder and passes you without stopping at the sign.
On a personal note, I think cyclists that morph between pedestrian and vehicle operator are dangerous to themselves and others around them. One thing I can say for sure is cyclists are predictable, in the sense that they are unpredictable. Those of us that are considerate and courteous to them know that we need to be such because we don't know what move they might make next. With everyday riders constantly reinforcing the idea that it is OK to break the most basic of traffic control laws, I doubt that it will get any better.

In the case we are talking about(not generalizations about bicycles) the cyclist did nothing wrong IMO. If he had 3-4' of pavement on the shoulder to use, whats the big deal?
Isn't that better than being in the right side of the travel lane, slowing traffic the entire time? Traffic moved along at its pace and the bicyclist moved along at his pace. Win, win situation in my book.
The only fly in the ointment was the prick in the cage, who obviously doesn't respect bicycles enough to give them any room, then has to try and punish the rider for not stopping. Unless he is a police officer he shouldn't try to stop or confront anybody. That's a good recipe for getting ones ass kicked, getting charged with road rage, or worse.

Obviously a cyclist riding in or across a travel lane is a "vehicle" and should obey all rules and laws. But on the other hand the shoulder isn't a travel lane except when posted otherwise and motor vehicles are not permitted to use them same as a sidewalk.
It seems to me that a cyclist on the shoulder, like a pedestrian on a sidewalk, when turning a corner without crossing a travel lane is only obligated to yield to other cyclists or pedestrians.
As a city P&D driver, I encounter far more selfish, impatient motorists than a cyclist ever does (and at greater risk). I have learned over the years, ignoring the idiots is the best reaction, like you said, they're only looking to spread their misery and have already decided they're more important than you.

with bwalsh on this one;
it's funny to use a argument some people use in an other topic to point out why it is wrong to judge and have opinions about cyclist behaving pretty normally on the road, like going to the left in front of traffic while the lights are red, or turning right when that route is clear and free of any danger.
a DARKSIDE argument with real life experience, did you try it for yourself how it is to ride a bike in traffic? did anybody get killed or did the sky fall in flames.
i don't like these arguments because they are no arguments, but to ride a cycle by yourself in traffic is easy to do and will open your eyes.you will learn to understand that after waiting 5 min. for somebody to stop to let you cross the road, nobody will and next time you will turn left in front of them when they need to stop for a traffic light.
sensible thing.
i see that cyclist in your area, well i think most,are really conscious about their riding, you can take my word that it can be worse in terms of quantity, more cyclist on the road, and worse in terms of traffic rule behavior. roads can be worse, as in way smaller.
seeing all the available room for participants on the same road, it only takes a bit of accepting that cyclist are there and are using the same road with sometimes the benefits of a really light bike of 10kg with is capable of easy moving trough traffic and people. that is a cycle.

Which is why I am mellow, considerate and courteous to those who are the more obnoxious, careless, reckless, aggressive drivers or riders that think they are the only one on the road that matters. It doesn't matter who you are or what you pilot, you will deal with the crazies, and some of them are on bicycles.
If you are reading into what I am saying that I am "anti bicycle all the way" I would suggest that I have hit a nerve and you are feeling persecuted.
Look, I could write all day about cage drivers that break the law, you can't get to the mini-mart without seeing some crazy action. There is a red light 3 blocks from my house I would almost bet you can't sit and watch 3 changes without seeing somebody run it. I never depend on green there to mean it's safe to pull out. All that is beside the point.
If I am sitting at a red light and a bike passes me on the right, filtering his way to the front of the line, then when the light changes I pass him in the middle of the next block, he's upset because I was too close. However, the distance between us and the curb or parked cars is the same as when he passed me at the light. The difference in speed is the same, 15 mph to nothing, 30 mph to 15. Do you think I should follow him until the road gets wider, or he morphs into a pedestrian and gets on the sidewalk? You can't have it both ways. I deal with you, you deal with me. If you are on a highway you are going to be passed. Some will give you a lane, some will only give you the space you occupy. Wear a safety vest over your clothing, move to the right when you are certain you have been seen, or uncertain that you have been seen. Either way it's safer.
In the case I mentioned the other day, there are streets parallel to the main street the cyclist was on. I know he came at least two blocks on the main street before turning left. He could have crossed that street sooner and stayed out of the traffic the whole way had he chosen to, instead he came down a four lane street and abruptly turned in front of moving vehicles. I feel confident he couldn't see me until after he was committed to entering the lane I was in. Where he got on the street, it is divided with a median wide enough for cars to sit in, so getting across even without a light is no big deal. I didn't tell that story to be antagonistic toward cyclist, I told that story as an illustration of how cyclists make bad decisions. Decisions that influence the way cagers think about them. He depended on the light giving him safety, but, if he breaks the rules why should he assume I won't? Would you, as a pedestrian, step out 50 or 60 feet in front of a crosswalk because the light had just turned red? Or would you wait for the traffic to stop?
As long as you believe that it's all the cager's fault, nothing will change. Keep making up the rules as you ride so nobody knows what rules you are playing by today.
I will continue to slow when I see you. Lightly tap my horn as I pass, just to make sure you know where I am, and shake my head sadly when I pass a crumpled bike at an accident scene, wondering whose fault it was.
Just for the record, I don't bike as much as I used to, but I am not a complete stranger to riding in traffic, and I don't like it.

The biggest difference in those two scenarios: if you hit the cyclist doing 30 its going to be a lot worse than him hitting you at 15. AMHIK
If I'm riding in traffic, I don't expect the same amount of room as I do out in the country. Different situations, different expectations. Just make an attempt to miss me and all is good.
I was out appx 3hrs yesterday. Had a few close-ish passes. Nothing that got really close, but when there's an entire other lane to use, effing use it. There really weren't all that many people on the road yesterday so there was no 'need' to be an a-hole other than just being an a-hole.
Passed an RT and a 950A out on my ride. 'Waved' at both. Got a wave back from both.
I'm a cyclist that rides motos, not a moto rider that rides bicycles.

Some people think they'll go to prison or something if they pass on a double yellow. Even without oncoming traffic they won't pass a mailman or garbage truck. So a bicycle they'll squeeze by.

Beautiful and welcoming, completely restructured, elegantly furnished apartment equipped with all technology.This is a great example of Italian Charme produced by tradition and inovation and coloured from a Radiant Orchid nominated colour of 2014 by Pantone Agency.Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.
The ideal way to discover this land and its beauty.Many reviews left from travellers suggest it for its design and convenient location ; at Central lake with ferry boat connection and just 23 kms away Swiss border.
Situated in a traditional stone building, this holiday home is located near the Hotel Britannia Excelsior, the Grand Hotel Cadenabbia and just 100 metres from the Lido di Cadenabbia, the Alberghetto La Marianna restaurant , the Anglican Church and John Kerry's Villa Maresi.Really, John Forbes Kerry - United States Democratic Senator for Massachusetts and Secretary of State keeps this fabolous villa at Griante Cadenabbia on Lake Como.
20 metres from the supermarket and the La Vecchia Torre bar, Glicine House is situated on the first floor, below another equally comfortable apartment called Azalea House and comprises a spacious, luminous living room with country kitchen area and a sitting area with flat screen satellite TV with SKY channels as Chris Wallace's Fox News Sunday , Bbc World , Sky News (also for chidren:Cartoon Network ,Disney Junior ,Disney English ,Planet Kids), and free WI FI connection. The room contains a magnificent hand-painted Palladium majolica pellet stove to make guests' winter stays cosy and romantic, and opens onto a terrace furnished with a table for lunches with a view of the lake towards Villa Melzi in Bellagio.
The interior decor features a beautifully-finished niche where reflected light is amplified by the glass, floral shapes discovered in the stone by the creative Eugenio - a motif that symbolically ties the apartment with the surrounding area and its luxuriant public parks and private gardens that are a mass of blooms from the Spring onwards - and the arch created by the skilled hands of master craftsman, Livio.
The soft line and colour of the wooden beam set into the ceiling is the work of Raffaele and the curved stone used for the floors was artistically carved by Guido.
Glicine House has two bedrooms leading off the entrance hall where the walls are decorated with geometric patterns in an antique red that picks up the colour of the red larch parquet floor.
The double bedroom, overlooking the garden and with a side view of the lake, has air conditioning as well as heating for the winter months. The radiant orchid-blue colour makes for calm, relaxing atmosphere.
The second bedroom, with three single beds, also has air conditioning (and heating), as well as a 'fifties terracotta working wood stove, which blends well with the pink-painted walls. The room overlooks a charmingly-lit courtyard which serves as a private carpark for guests.
In both bedrooms, the headboards and wardrobes feature decorative carving by master carpenters from Sutrio, custodians of a traditional expertise known throughout Val Badia, Val Gardena and the nearby Austrian Tyrol and Carinzia.
There is also a fine cradle from the Engadin decorated with colourful flowers in typical Austrian Tyrolean style.
Glicine House welcomes its guests with a variety of warm, vibrant colours emphasized by the mysterious, intriguing reflected light of Marrakesh, typical of the Arab world, a delight for the eyes of those seeking quiet and relaxation, or providing an ideal atmosphere for planning work commitments.
In the completely renovated, disabled-accessible bathroom with shower, sober but elegant stone and wood details recall the simplicity of country life in the high mountain pastures, the walls being the rust colour of iron or earth.
Linear shapes blend with the colourful floral wall decorations and emphasize the beauty of the different shades of colour ( radiant orchid ) that make for a warm welcome.
A detailed description of the area where Glicine House and Azalea House are located can be found in the "Lake Como and Villa del Balbianello" a travel guide written by Belgian author, Mark Dermul."A guide to Lake Como (Italy) to discover the film locations for the lake retreat on Naboo in Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones.
Whithout forgetting that John Kerry, Senator from Massachusetts already a candidate for the White House in 2004 for the Democrats and the new Secretary of State in the administration of Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clintoon stayed in Griante two years ago.He has a fabulous residence which extends in a large park, Villa Maresi , close to the apartments at Griante . Villa Maresi more properly belongs to his wife, Teresa Heinz, widow of the king of kechup that already in the past had sold Villa Oleandra George Clooney.
Hi there, my name is Francesco. I work in Italian Motorway Company for only 13 days every month and sometimes when I have free time I buy and sell stocks in the Italian market. I like very much to travel around the world because I believe that different cultures teach to live better. I offer you this second holiday home hoping this place is an ideal accommodation to explore this wonderful area . Regards. Have a nice trip.
Francesco purchased this apartment in 1960
My father was a chef in Swizerland, at Lugano, and he bought two apartments in this old stone building . I renovated them because I think the lake is the right place to spend the holiday in the silence and relax, forgetting for some days all the problems.
By car: To Lugano, financial centre of the Canton Ticino situated on the lake of the same name, one hour's journey away. To Melide, also in the Swiss Canton Ticino, site of the tourist attraction "Switzerland in Miniature". To Madesimo in Val Chiavenna, ski resort well-known to mountain enthusiasts. To Saint Moritz in the Engadin, Canton Grissons - the internationally famous resort is 120 kilometres away, together with the quiet towns of Sils, Ardez, Guarda and Bever. In the area we suggest excursions on foot along the Segantini Trail and the Adventure Trail, suitable for families with children, and to Lakes Cavloc and Bitabergh near the Maloja Pass. To Tirano for memorable day-long train ride on the "Bernina Express" through incomparable scenery as far as Saint Moritz or the Alpine town of Chur. To Mendrisio, the FoxTown Outlet Factory - for lovers of the "shopping experience" - can be reached by the Como –Chiasso-Lugano motorway. To Campione d'Italia and the International Casino of the same name, for those who love to gamble. To Chiasso(CH), for singles who love the lake, its mystery and mystic silence, but don't want to forgo the evening and night life at the Sixtynine Cafè, where they can enjoy a cocktail in the company of beautiful models. To Lenno to visit Villa del Balbianello, owned by the FAI (Italian Environmental Fund) and the location for scenes from "Star Wars". To Piona Abbey, the home of Cistercian monks known for their handicrafts, reachable by ferry across the lake. On foot: To Sasso di San Martino, a 40 minute excursion to enjoy a walk to the church in company, from where you can see how Bellagio runs out into the lake and divides it. To Tremezzo to visit Villa Carlotta, its gardens and the Botanical Gardens. To Bellagio, crossing the Lake on the ferry from Cadenabbia, to discover the romance of the "Pearl of the Lake", much loved by Americans for its Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni.
We stayed at Glicine House in the beginning of April 2012.
Everything was perfect ( a little cold weather).This is one of the most beautiful places i' ve ever seen.I love Lake Como !.
We spent 4 days at lake Como and stayed in Glicine apartment. Spacious rooms, from bedrooms to bathroom, was a place you could feel comfortable from the first hour. Everything was clean and tidy. The neighbors we also met for the keys were also very friendly. Kitchen very well equipped, best of all though the coffee machine:)
The welcome wine was also a very good start.
There is a mini market near by where you can find everything you need and a nice pizzeria. Quiet village, 5 minutes walk to the lake, 40 minutes walk to Menaggio. We found the location ideal.
We would surely recommend this apartment to everyone who wants a relaxed vacation in a relaxed environment.
We spent 10 fantastic days on the Como lake. The House Glicine is really very beautiful and well equipped. We didn't miss anything and we appreciated all the comfort there.The rooms are rather spacious, the furniture is modern and comfortable. We could cook our meals in a very well equipped kitchen with an Italian charm.
From a balcony you've got a partial , but a nice view of the lake.
The owner is very friendly. We 've got a special offer from him and it was a good deal. Francesco provided us with plenty of useful information concerning our stay in the apartment and he gave us lots of travel tips in the area. We can only highly recommend the House Glicine as a holiday apartment if you are going to explore the fantastic Como lake area.
We visited the Italian lake district this summer and chose Lake Como as our base camp due to its quiet beauty and majestic scenery.
We loved Francesco's apartment, beautifully designed and well appointed, great location. The housekeeper was very helpful as well as the next door neighbour (chaplain). Restaurants were ok and some are certainly way over priced. Thank God for the small convenience store located 100 m away. The people are very nice and the groceries are of excellent quality.
We decided to explore the area with our bicycles but as we were not keen on using the main roads at the lake shores (loads of traffic) we used the "greenway" options. We took as reference: Albano Marcarini, "piste ciclabili e greenways in Lombardia" (36 bike routes).
We highly recommend the "Sentiero Valtellina", a beautiful bike ride from Grosio to Colico (100km). We did it in 1 day. We parked the car at Colico's train station and took the train to Tirano followed by a taxi ride to Grosio (15 km).
The Tirano tourist information office (located right beside the Tirano train station) was very helpful. They ordered the taxi for us (there is no train service between Grosio and Tirano) and provided a very detailed route map. The waiting time for the taxi was 30 minutes which allowed us to enjoy a good coffee at the square.
The most beautiful part is Grosio to Sondrio (about 50km). The bike route follows the river and train line, thus the route can be shortened as desired. The regional trains carry bikes, no reservation is required.
To complement this wonderful ride we enjoyed the thermal baths of the region. For this purpose we slept 1 night in Grossoto and the following day we relaxed at the QC Terma, which is fantastic and highly recommendable.
At the end of our holiday we parked our bicycles and decided to go on one of the walks (check the leaflets in the apartment). We chose walk 17 out of Bellagio. Really nice hike.
Hope we will return some day. Thank you again for renting such a nice facility.
Great appartment in Griante Cadenabbia, just opposite to Bellagio.
The appartment is very spacious (we stayed with 4 adults and 1 child). 2 bottles of sparkling rose awaited us. And lots of great coffee pads for superb espresso's.
The location is also superb, near menaggio and near the ferry's.
We had a wonderfull time!
Very comfortable apartment, very clean and well resourced. Good location
We stayed at Francesco's with three kids (5, 3 and 3 years) during eastern. It was perfect - two bedrooms, washing machine with dryer in the bathroom, fireplace (which you can start by pressing one button only), convenient kitchen (with special cupboard for wet dishes), shopping facility just across the street, lake only three minute walk. Thanks, Francesco!
Griante Cadenabbia , Lake Como . A fragrant blend of art, relaxation and culture. Contemplation reigns here.
A green and blue strip of water and lush vegetation in the shape of a forked tongue, Lake Como looks south towards the industrial heart of Northern Italy and Milan, its financial capital, and north to the almost always snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps of the Engadin in the Grisons Canton.
The area around the lake offers excellent tourist hospitality, especially in the central part known as "Tremezzina" or the "Riviera of the Azaleas" for the multicoloured blossoms that burst into flower at the beginning of spring..
Together with Cernobbio and Bellagio, it is in Griante Cadenabbia , one of the queens of the lake and a prestigious international tourist destination with its excellent hotels and the more familiar, intimate and exclusive residences scattered throughout the area, that beautiful geometric plantings forming elegant gardens and inspiring hymns to contemplation can be found. Cadenabbia lies on the shore opposite Bellagio.
Visited in the past by famous personalities such as Giuseppe Verdi and Konrad Adenauer, the German Chancellor, who regularly holidayed here at Villa La Collina , in the far off 19th century, Griante Cadenabbia also charmed the American writer, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who wrote:
I ask myself, Is this a dream?
Will it all vanish into air?
Is there a land of such supreme
And perfect beauty anywhere?
Today, tourists from all over the world, Australians, Americans, North Europeans, Russians, Swiss and Canadians, and even some from the Arab Emirates, animate its lakeside, wander through the ancient village and climb up to the Sanctuary of San Martino perched high above.
All on a voyage of discovery of an area made enchanting by colourful gardens, spectacular parks and sumptuous historic villas, full of the harmonious sounds of nature interrupted only by solemn, enveloping silence. The beauty of the landscape has been preserved with complete respect for the environment. This is at the heart of its attraction.
From Griante we start out on an imaginary tour to discover Villa Carlotta , Villa La Collina , United States Democratic Senator (currently Secretary of State ) from Massachussets John Kerry's Villa Maresi, Villa Melzi in Bellagio and Villa del Balbianello in Lenno, owned by the FAI, the Italian National Trust. The latter was the location for George Lucas's film "Star Wars : Episode II - Attack of the Clones" .
Locations used for the films form the theme of an original and very interesting travel guide "Lake Como & Villa del Balbianello" written by Belgian, Mark Dermul. A copy can be ordered at www.lulu.com or directly from the author on www.markdermul.be/naboo
Lake Como and Griante Cadenabbia offer readers the not to be missed opportunity to explore an area of unequalled beauty and first rate hospitality.

Lake Como Presentation.
If your idea of nirvana is palatial villas, rose-laden belvederes, hanging wisteria and bougainvillea, lanterns casting a glow over lakeshore restaurants, and majestic Alpine vistas, then proceed immediately to Lake Como. Though summer crowds threaten to diminish the lake's dreamy mystery and slightly faded old-money gentility, the allure of this spectacular place endures. Como remains a consummate pairing of natural and man-made beauty. The villa gardens, like so many in Italy, are a union of two landscape traditions: that of Renaissance Italy, which values order, and that of Victorian England, which strives to create the illusion of natural wildness. Such gardens are often framed by vast areas of picturesque farmland—fruit trees, olive groves, and vineyards.
Lake Como is some 47 km (30 miles) long north to south and is Europe's deepest lake (almost 1,350 feet). Car ferries and vaporetti (water buses) traverse the lake in season, making it easy to get to the other main towns, Cernobbio, Tremezzo, and Varenna. Many travelers hasten to boats waiting to take them to Bellagio and the centro di lago, the center region of the lake's three branches, and its most beautiful section. You should not pass by the 2,000-year-old walled city of Como, a leading textile center famous for its silks, however—even if you only linger long enough to see the medieval town center and pretty lakefront. Remember that Como is extremely seasonal: if you go to Bellagio, for example, from November through February, you'll find nothing open—not a bar, restaurant, or shop.

What does UNICEF do?
UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) defends the Convention on the Rights of the Child, acting to assure equality for those who suffer discrimination, particularly girls and women.
UNICEF works with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child's path. The organisation promotes girls' education and works to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people.
UNICEF also acts to provide relief during emergency situations and wherever children are threatened. The organisation believes no child should be exposed to violence, abuse or exploitation.
One of the issues UNICEF is fighting at the moment is the trafficking of children. As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, the actor Jackie Chan met children in Myanmar who had been trafficked and are now receiving help to recover:
"Children are not for sale. For the sake the world's children, we must work hard to stamp out these damaging and criminal practices. It is very important that young people know how to protect themselves. Simple things, like knowing not to trust anyone who promises you a dream job in another country; never going to an unknown place alone; knowing your parents' and your own full name and age; and being able to explain where you live, help children guard against traffickers."
Find out what UNICEF is doing in your country or contact your national office directly.
How can you get involved?
On UNICEF's Voices of Youth website you can find out how other young people are getting involved, learn about the issues that affect young people and join discussions.
Interested in a more direct approach? You can help out through volunteering or by doing an internship.
UNICEF was established on 11 December 1946 by the United Nations to meet the emergency needs of children in countries devastated by World War II.

Wheelchairs and wine
Spent the morning at Ki Wheelchairs , factory is growing hugely! Very happy friendly work crew which is always great to see. Came away with long list of things to do at home!!! After lunch at a local bar Andy and Doug went off to play golf and I drove over to Rudolph to visit the Wisconsin cheeses factory. So many cheeses all shapes ...
Another travel day today, although not the smoothest!!! Left hotel to go to airport and gps would not take us on the freeway and kept wanting to go down every backstreet of Chicago.

Best poly for longevity of playability
Hi - i really like SPPP and Silverstring and Volkl Cyclone. Are there similar copoly strings where the playability lasts longer than say 10-12 hours?
Tourna Big Hitter
Can't say I agree with the above, and I typically steer clear of these types of discussions since they're extremely subjective with multiple factors affecting longevity. I think Tourna Big Hitter is a great string, but there's no way it last longer than SPPP and Silverstring. Cyclone - I wouldn't argue that. If nothing else it's close, but certainly not the first two.
I think if you like SPPP and SS, you're pretty much maxed out as far as longevity is concerned. If you're paying for restrings, consider a stringer, then you can play with any string you want and not worry about longevity.
I love the Babolat RPM TEAM. The TEAM not Blast, i think the babolat rpm team has a longer string life than the blast as the blast dies pretty fast and the team last pretty longer than the rpm blast IMO.
Thanks for the info. Suspected that SPPP and Silverstring were top of the heap.
The thing about Silverstring that I liked was it seems to be a good blend of softness (for a poly), spin and useful lifespan.
(*done as a hybrid with syn gut in the crosses)
ProSupex Big Ace Micro and MSV Co-Focus stay soft and lively for a very long time. Longer than SPPP and definitely longer than Volkl Cyclone.
dunlop black widow it has very good playability. I have a Yonex VCore 98D strung with black widow @ 22/21 kg ( 48/46 lbs ) . the playability started to drop after 15hours of play.
If by that you mean maintaining their original performance for a reasonable period of time, then I'd say that SPPP, Silverstring, and Tourna BHB7 actually all fall into that category. SPPP/Silversting (not very spinny, not very elastic, not much give) are really quite different playing strings to BHB7 (very spinny, very elastic) anyway, but they all last quite a while. SPPP/Silverstring maintain their original performance, but there's not arguably much performance to lose in the first place because they play differently to other (arguably better performing) polys.
In fact, BHB7 for a soft, spinny co-poly maintains a consistently high level of performance for a surprisingly long time. It maintains playability typically up to about 10-11 hours before going dead which is quite something. I get maybe 5-6 hours out of Black Magic for example, and maybe 6-7 hours max from BHBR16.
Try Prince Beast XP 16.
The playability lasts and lasts, much more so than SPPP and Silver String.
Lux BB Ace.
SOLINCO outlast 17
Still keep coming back to it.
There are some that are just as good.
You can get higher performance for a shorter time or you can get something like Polyon Ice or Duralast that will be awful forever.
I've got 10 hours so far on my BHB7 17 and it hasn't stiffened up yet...
Yonex Poly Tour Spin is the top for in how it retains its characteristics for longer time, for those who like crisp, spin monster with great durability.

George Theodore Werts
George Theodore Werts (March 24, 1846 – January 17, 1910) was an American Democratic Party politician, who served as the 28th Governor of New Jersey from 1893 to 1896. Werts created the Palisades Interstate Park Commission which saved the New Jersey Palisades from being quarried for their rock.
He was born on March 24, 1846 in Hackettstown, New Jersey[1] and he moved in 1863 to Morristown, New Jersey at age 17. He became a lawyer. In 1872 he married Emma Stelle.
He entered politics and in 1886 was elected Mayor of Morristown, New Jersey, serving until 1892. He was also elected to the New Jersey Senate, serving from 1887 to 1892. Werts moved from Morristown to Jersey City, New Jersey and lived in a mansion on Crescent Avenue on the present site of Lincoln High School in Jersey City.
Governor Leon Abbett named Werts as a state judge in 1892 to replace Manning M. Knapp.[2]
He died on January 17, 1910 at age 63.[3] He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, in Morristown, New Jersey.

A well-authenticated rumor that prevails around the State House this evening is that neither Lippincott, Garretson, nor Kirkpatrick will be chosen to succeed the late Justice Manning M.

Sowmya's strength lies in her creative finesse and sense of balance.
Begada and Kharaharapriya were the substantive themes of Sowmya's concert. She offered a pensive alternative to high voltage singing. About 80 per cent of the time was devoted to cover the full expanse of these two majestic ragas.
Begada's peculiar arohana structure is both a challenge and opportunity. Sowmya deployed solid descriptions to flavour the raga, including many inspired phrases hovering around 'ni'. It was a lesson on raga lakshana.
The song 'Ganarasamudan' of Papanasam Sivan was a brisk contrast to the karvai-filled raga alapana. The swaraprastharas at "Manam Kulira" toed the general imaginative tenor. The concert began with 'Eranapai' in Thodi and 'Brochevarevare' (Sriranjani, Tyagaraja) with warm-up swaras. 'Sudha Madhurya Bhashini (Sinduramakriya) with crisp swaras at 'Madhurya' was creative.
Kharaharapriya's life comes from Tyagaraja and Papanasam Sivan. Besides the plethora of kritis, the two greats composed in this raga, they have encircled the raga with many experiments and starting swaras.
Sowmya's raga alapana was a compendium of these prayogas as she sang a treatise. Short poetic syllables and phrases were matched adroitly by Embar Kannan, whose sweetness and occasional folksy indulgences were brilliant. 'Janakipathe' of Papanasam Sivan meant that only few composers were featured in the concert. Sowmya's quest for innovation took us to 'Saroruha Charana' for niraval and kalpanaswaras, exploiting the janta 'sa sa' starting point well. A fine sense of balance in these is Sowmya's strength.
H.S. Sudhindra and K.V. Gopalakrishnan (ganjira) supported with soft play throughout. Their thani was engaging without the usual 'bang' finishes that are often unnecessary. The tail segment of the concert (Bharatiar songs, 'Smara Sundaranguni' - Paras) whimpered a bit without the usual adornments perhaps due to paucity of time.

Digital Marketing, Brand Management, Content Writing, Publishing Consultant I am dedicated to help you be successful and proud of your work. I understand that often times writing text, copy, or content (as well as editing) can be a daunting, stressful task, and by partnering with me, you will have more time and energy to focus on other aspects of your endeavors. My passion is simply not to just write words for my clients, but to take the time to get to know them and their own unique personal style. From ad copy to fiction storytelling to scientific journaling, everyone, writer or not, has a voice to be heard and a story to be told, and it is my desire to have their voice come through on the page. In Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay, "The Poet," he describes a writer as one who gives a voice to the voiceless or as one who possesses the ability to put into words what others simply cannot. A writer's unique view of life is translated through to the paper, making something ordinary into something beautiful. Emerson has strung exquisite pearls on a syntactical necklace with his words, and these are the words which inspire me to continuously work to string together my own words and the hidden words of others into something creative, expressive, and impactive.

The prosecution first learned of the alleged gift of "blood diamonds" from actress Mia Farrow, who had accompanied Campbell on the 1997 trip and was a guest at the Mandela home the night the diamonds were purportedly offered. After an ABC News report on the alleged gift, Campbell's former agent Carole White came forward and told prosecutors that she was also at the dinner, and was with Campbell later that evening when a group of Taylor's men delivered a half-dozen uncut diamonds.
Campbell was "disappointed" by the stones, according to White's lawyer Daniel Bright, because they were not yet cut to sparkle like the diamonds used in jewelry. Both White and Farrow are scheduled to testify after Campbell. Farrow told ABC News that she saw Campbell the morning after the dinner. According to Farrow, Campbell was "all a-twitter" when she recounted how she was given "a huge diamond" by Taylor's men in the middle of the night.
In court Thursday, Campbell denied discussing the size of the diamonds after receiving them. She said she had breakfast with White and Mia Farrow the morning after receiving the pouch, and that Farrow suggested to her then the gift must have come from Taylor because no one else at the dinner would've given her such a gift.
When ABC News asked Campbell about the incident at New York Fashion Week in February, she denied ever having received a blood diamond.
"I didn't receive a diamond and I'm not going to speak about that, thank you very much. And I'm not here for that," said Campbell.
She stormed out of the interview, slapping a producer's camera.
Less than two weeks after ABC News aired the report about the alleged blood diamond gift, Campbell appeared on Oprah saying that she "did not want to be involved in this man's case," but she did not confirm or deny receiving a diamond. "He has done some terrible things and I don't want to put my family in danger," Campbell told Oprah and her millions of viewers in early May.
Campbell's lawyer, Gideon Benaim, said that she is only a witness at Taylor's trial, and it is not alleged that she has done anything wrong.
"Naomi has not done anything wrong. She is a witness and not on trial herself," said Benaim.
Taylor has been on trial for almost three years at the U.N.'s Special Court for Sierra Leone, which is being held at the World Court in the Netherlands, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
The warfare in Sierra Leone, where diamonds were used by African rebels and allegedly by Taylor to raise money for a bloody rampage from 1997 to 2001, killed or maimed tens of thousands. Taylor's lawyers have argued there is scant direct evidence that connects Taylor to the diamonds or the atrocities.
"The issue here is not whether such atrocities were indeed committed but who was responsible and specifically was Charles Taylor the person responsible," Courtenay Griffiths, Taylor's lead counsel, told ABC News.
Taylor has angrily denied dealing in blood diamonds. When pressed on the stand in November by Chief Prosecutor Brenda Hollis about whether he sent his men to give a diamond to Campbell, Taylor called the allegation "total nonsense."
