Sidewall Issues

Comments about Continental Ultra Gatorskin 700x25 Road Tire:
I ride long distances and climb steep hills (live in Sierra Nevada foothills). Had two sidewall failures on rear tire (at 1,400 and 1,800 miles). Would not recommend, nothing worse than calling for a ride out in the boonies.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Cyclist
I started using these tires after getting a flat at an inconvenient time (when is convenient? :-)They have never flatted. I have them on 3 bikes.I use the 700x25 on my road bikes and 700x28 on my cyclocross. They have a low rolling resistance and are not heavier than most tires of the same size.I usually get new ones after 3500 miles or so because I don't want to push my luck!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

KDE Puts Out Software Compilation 4.4 Beta 1
new posts
Well this is just an early first impression, as I just installed the beta on my new testing-partition, but it looks and feels awesome. It's really snappy (well, that also might be due to me being used fglrx 9.3 from my main-partition and now using radeon on my testing-partition) and there are many littly subtle effects which add alot to the overall experience. For example the contents of tabs now crossfade when switching between them, and buttons have a nice glow-effect which also fades in and out. Konqueror also feels fast and snappy, maybe it will finally be able to replace firefox as my day to day browser.
Overall I gotta say I'm really impressed with KDE SC 4.4.
next thing i want changed is the startup sound to be short and 25% volume.. im sure some of you noticed you speakers set to 100% up after an fresh install and the stupid startup sound wakes up your angry wife.

I think dropDown_event("KDE system Notifications") should be changed to the default... since most users want to find it more often then not.
and yes volume% for each sound effect would be nice.

One thing I miss in KDE is an easy switch user plugin. My 60 years old father has real problem when need to go to menu and then hit the switch user button to find himself before a list of half a dozen users (that thing shows the command line logged users as well and that sucks) and when finally he hits the correct button (prey he didn't hit the console user by mistake) he finds himself before a locked session and needs to unlock it (even if his acount is passwordless). Why the hell the locked sessions are enabled by default and where is the option to change it? With Gnome I had a nice face/button on his panel and with a click he got just the graphically logged users, without stupid locked screens.
Originally posted by mat69 View PostHave you reported that bug? It might very well be that this has been overlooked.

I switched to KDE after 9 years of continual use of Gnome. Just for fun. I had free time and wanted to use something different.
Overall, KDE is impressive, especially Dolphin's preview abilities (I won't run a comparison between KDE and Gnome, no worthy reason) but this slowness in log-out time is atrocious
Bottom line: Don't use Qt 4.6 with KDE 4.3.x. It's not recommended to do so. Use the Qt version that KDE 4.3 has been designed for, which is Qt 4.5.x.
Since you're on Gentoo, this is solved by putting this into /etc/portage/package.mask:
# KDE 4.3.x needs Qt 4.5 >=x11-libs/qt-core-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-sql-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-test-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-script-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-xmlpatterns-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-gui-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-svg-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.6.0 >=x11-libs/qt-assistant-4.6.0 >=dev-util/qt-creator-1.3.0
for s in x11-libs/qt-core x11-libs/qt-sql x11-libs/qt-test x11-libs/qt-script x11-libs/qt-dbus x11-libs/qt-xmlpatterns x11-libs/qt-gui x11-libs/qt-qt3support x11-libs/qt-svg x11-libs/qt-opengl x11-libs/qt-webkit x11-libs/qt-assistant dev-util/qt-creator; do equery -q depends $s >> list.temp; done
sort list.temp -o list.temp uniq list.temp > list rm list.temp
emerge -a1 $(for s in $(cat list); do echo "=$s"; done)
When KDE 4.4 comes out (which is designed with Qt 4.6 in mind), you will get blocker messages from emerge, so you'll know it's time to remove the package.mask entries again.Last edited by RealNC; 12-15-2009, 06:41 AM.

" Her lips touched his brain as they touched his lips..." -James Joyce
The journey to uncover mutual pleasure and desires is just that, a journey. There is a path to which a twist exists, the soft and sensual, the intellectual and erotic. A seductive opportunity. The mechanics of which revolve around anticipation.
You are a man who appreciates and savors the subtleties of the experience, each individually significant. A passion and zest for the experiential nature of life is infectious and something we have in common.
It is important to me that you feel comfortable. Our experiences together must be authentic for them to be mutually pleasurable. Peruse my photos and my virtual diary. Read what others have to say.
Welcome to my world. A sensual, erotic ecosystem. A paradox waiting to be proven.

yes i know them what do you want to know?
I am considering using them to collect a debt of over £2000. I have a CCJ against the debtor ( a former landlord who has decided to keep my deposit money to himself) and a Warrant of Execution but the Court Bailiffs have not had any success collecting the money.
Hi what would they charge you? to be honest it depends what you want but they do not appear very authorative and if you look them up on Debt Questions. Information regarding debt issues you will see mixed reviews but mostly negative
Hope this Helps
I cannot seem to find the reviews on Debt Questions - help please!
Debt Questions Forum | Debt Questions try this and type in DLC or Direct Legal Collections
I think I have confused you! I am looking for Direct Collections Ltd who are based in Harrow. This is Direction Legal Collections in Banbury.
Thanks for your help anyway and pointing me towards the Debt Question site. Very informative.

If this guy is not worried about court baliffs he probably wont be bothered by a DCA, so why waist your money. why dont you call the court for advice and maybe go for a charging order on his property. Or maybe ask a solicitor who specialises in debt collection to write to him threatening a charging order. You will need to contact the land registry first to check that he owns the property. You would be better off talking to a solicitor, they will be more honest with you as to what powers you have and your chances of getting your money
Unfortunately, the house he lives in is in his wife's name. His business bank account is in her name and she is the only named director of the business so a charging order is not possible.
How about the house you were renting from him
He's sold it (for over half a million) whilst we were waiting for confirmation of final bills paid etc.
(It was actually my daughter and 4 friends who had been renting the property, I acted as guarantor) He had been promising all along that as soon as he had proof of final bills paid he would send the deposit and we naively believed him. Just as we believed in the legal system, thinking if we took him to the SCC we would get our money back. We have a CCJ against him and a Warrant of Execution but the court bailiffs have been round 4 times and he just doesn't answer the door. This guy has 8 CCJ's in total against him and knows exactly how to play the system!

Certainly sounds that way. Court bailiffs get paid a wage and not a percentage so they dont try too hard, perhaps a private bailiff, who would try alot harder.
ask blfuk1 to look at this thread, he is a baliiff and he may be able to offer some advice. he's normally giving good advice in the bailiffs forum

I certainly WOULD NOT recommend Direct Collections Ltd if you have a debt to recover. They take a big expenses payment up front and then do very little work (when you ring for a progress report all you get is a load of lies or waffle)
Just an update regarding DIRECT COLLECTIONS. I went ahead and engaged
them to collect the money that was owing to me and they were superb!
Very professional and courteous, particularly Phil who dealt with my case.
I really wish I had gone to them at the start instead of spending time and money on Court fees, CCJ's etc. etc. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Yes - I got the money back minus their fee. Well worth it and the satisfaction of the debtor having to pay up at long last was

My opinion of them is that they are unprofessional bully boys. Take no notice of OFT collection guidelines and merely try to intimidate people into paying where there is no proven debt. They have very little knowledge of the law and should be avoided at all costs. A complaint to OFT has gone in about them
they are more like cowboys than bullyboys! AVOID !!!

The area in which you are thinking of buying is a district in South Los Angeles known as Hyde Park. Having lived in the general vicinity for over 20 years, I can say that the area gets a C on my safety scale. While it isn't extremely gang or murder infested, there are a few unsavory characters that tend to linger around the popular PM destinations (such as the liquor store and motels on crenshaw). If you are someone who enjoys walking their neighborhood, this might mean scheduling those walks before 8pm to avoid any anxiety or unwelcomed attention. On the other hand if you're someone who's looking to join the neighborhood block, I would reccomend elsewhere. Security Systems provide peace of mind, and the added protection of armed security in some cases. If you believe that I have answered your question to your liking, please feel free to pay me a call at (310) 665-1145 and I'll be honored to assist you in taking the very next steps in purchasing your home.
Dont depend on ADT, they take about 2 hours to reply to alarms. Im very familiar with this area. Call me for more info, no obligation.

During the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama offered a lengthy, detailed critique of the way the Bush Administration had undermined the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). "We need more transparency in government," he argued. He came into office showing signs of acting on his promise. In a memo instructing agencies to treat FOIA requests with a presumption of validity, he wrote:
The Government should not keep information confidential merely because public officials might be embarrassed by disclosure, because errors and failures might be revealed, or because of speculative or abstract fears,
One year later, however, the government was asserting secrecy claims more aggressively than ever before, with rationalizations that were no less preposterous than in the Bush era, according to a review by Raw Story's John Byrne.
Now the Associated Press discloses that the Department of Homeland Security's techniques for thwarting the president's FOIA directive have taken a still creepier turn. Political hacks review each request, starting with a probe into the person who sent it:
For at least a year, the Homeland Security Department detoured requests for federal records to senior political advisers for highly unusual scrutiny, probing for information about the requesters and delaying disclosures deemed too politically sensitive, according to nearly 1,000 pages of internal e-mails obtained by The Associated Press. The department abandoned the practice after AP investigated. Inspectors from the department's Office of Inspector General quietly conducted interviews last week to determine whether political advisers acted improperly.
The Freedom of Information Act, the main tool forcing the government to be more open, is designed to be insulated from political considerations. Anyone who seeks information through the law is supposed to get it unless disclosure would hurt national security, violate personal privacy or expose confidential decision-making in certain areas. But in July 2009, Homeland Security introduced a directive requiring a wide range of information to be vetted by political appointees for "awareness purposes," no matter who requested it.
The story is further evidence that political hacks will behave like political hacks, regardless of party affiliation, and that the new national-security state will tenaciously guard its secrets.

RATINGS: 68 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.61 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 318 ABV: 10.6%
Our Stone 11.11.11 Vertical Epic Ale proved to be an eccentric diversion from our previous lineup of innovative Belgian-inspired brews. And considering were Stone, thats really saying something. This unprecedented beer was brewed with cinnamon sticks and Anaheim green chilies, giving it an amazing flavor profile unlike anything that came before it. It certainly didnt need any enhancement, but we just dont know when to leave well enough alone (and weve demonstrated before that you can, indeed, improve upon perfection). So we decided to tinker with it a bit and laid a small portion to rest in wine barrels. Not wanting to limit our experiment to only red or white wine barrels, we choose both. Treat yourself to a bottle of each and compare. All in the name of science, of course...

1994 Toyota Corolla Q&A
1994 Toyota Corolla Question: Where is the ignition module? And whereis the crankshaft position sensor?
Car spins over fast and strong but won't start. Did this twice before but started an hour or so later. This time not starting. No one local has a diagnostic device compatible with this vehicle. what I know: No spark has fuel pressure (EFI) timing belt is not broken has new distributor and components suspect: crankshaft position sensor ignition module (if there is one separate from distributor) engine computer This was my main vehicle for mail delivery - using the back-up vehicle (another corolla) thanks! - backwatereddy

Answer 1
NO CKP SENSOR,,NO EXTERNAL MODULE. I BET YOU HAVE DIST. PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID IT IS "NEW". NOW, IS IT NEW OR REMAN? YOU ALSO SAID TURNS OVER FAST, SURE ABOUT TIMING BELT? ANOTHER POSS. WIREING,BLOWN EFI FUSE " LASTLY"ECM. A HIGH END SCANNER IS A MUST!! GOT TO KEEP THE USPS GOING. LET ME KNOW WHAT'S UP. I STILL SUSPECT DISTRIBUTOR. YOU CAN HOOK UP ANOTHER DIST. GROUND IT WITH TEST LEAD TURN KEY ON SPIN DIST. BY HAND CHECK FOR SPARK. GOOD LUCK. - pushrod

Comment 1
Thanks - and good news - There was a valid reason I couldn't find the ckp or the ig.mod. The distributor and components are supposed to be new, but hey, who really knows? I swapped around efi fuses with the same result (no fire), but haven't otherwise tested the efi fuse or bought a new one. Timing belt is intact (distributor rotor turns when the engine does). Should have already mentioned this, but there IS 12v going into the distributor when the key is on; just no spark coming out. And not even weak or intermittant fire - nothing at all - not even a tingle if I put a screw driver in the plug wire, ground it and hold on while the engine spins. Will a bad EFI fuse interupt the spark? I am fairly ignorant about "new" car technology (1994?!), but ruling out ckp and ig.mod, it seems to me that it has to be either a bad "new" distributor assembly or the ECM. Is there anything else that can interrupt the fire to the plugs? Hey, thanks again. - backwatereddy
October 03, 2012
Comment 2
DID YOU INSTALL THIS DIST. FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME RESULTS-NO SPARK? CHECK ALL FUSES THAT YOU CAN FIND WITH A TEST LIGHT ON EACH SIDE OF THE FUSE, KEY ON. ANY ADD ON SECURITY DEVICES? JUST RANDOM THOUGHTS. I OWN A 93, GREAT LITTLE CARS! ONLY PROBLEM I "EVER" HAD WAS THE DISTRIBUTOR!!!! I GUESS THAT IS WHY I KEEP PICKING ON THE DIST. MAY BE WAY OFF WITH MY "GUESS". NEVER HAD AN ECM PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL BUT THAT DON'T MEAN A LOT. ALSO CHECK ALL RELAYS AS THERE IS ONE FOR THE ECM. THATS ABOUT ALL I KNOW. - pushrod

Yes, the distributor was replaced to remedy this current problem. I'll try my old distributor on the running Corolla (a '93 but otherwise apparently identical) and go from there. If the one I replaced was actually ok, then I'll try your other suggestions before going after the computer. thanks again - backwatereddy

Answer 2
From what I've checked , the ignition module and coil are both in the distributor. Has the coil been inspected for heat marks or signs of arcing internally? Can compare resistance of suspect coil with that of one in running corolla. A faulty re-man would not be unusual , depending on brand. - ziptie12

Comment 1
no sign of obvious arcing or heating on the original distributor. As suggested earlier. I will plug it in and ground it to the functional Corolla, hook up a plug wire and plug and spin it over - Sunday will be my next opportunity - trusting the back-up Toyota to hold up that long. Someone local mentioned "knock sensor" on some models that is supposed to function much like a ckp. If there is such a thing, I haven't found it yet. Really great help and suggestions on this site. When (not if) I get this thing going, I'll post the solution for anyone who might have a similar problem. - backwatereddy

NO KNOCK SENSOR, BUT WE HAVE TO BE RIGHT AT THE TROUBLE KEEP US POSTED. THANKS! - pushrod

Comment 3
Okay, did your distributor test, Wetry, and tried your suggestion of plugging the old distributor into the functional corolla, grounding it and turning it by hand. And thanks for that suggestion. Seems simple enough but I hadn't tried it. If I had, I wouldn't have bought the new one (now back in the box) because the old one worked perfectly. My problem is definitely not the distributor or any component in it. As there is definitely 12v to the dist., what else, besides the engine computer can render the distributor sparkless? What about those EFI relays under the hood near the battery? Don't they control only injector timing? Or spark too? - backwatereddy

TRY THIS, PULL ONE CAR BESIDE THE OTHER, WITH A TEST LIGHT AND VOLT/OHM METER FIND OUT WHAT IS MISSING ON THE 94. CAN SWAP RELAYS ECT. AS NEEDED. DON'T THINK ECM IS THE SAME BUT WHO KNOWS. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR THIS CAR AS THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH BULLET PROFF. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND. CHECK WIRE HARNESS TO DIST.FIRST FOR VOLTAGE AND GROUND ON EACH CAR. YOU WILL FIND IT! JUST THOUGHT OF THIS,IS C.E.LIGHT ON WITH KEY ON? CHECK EVERY FUSE YOU CAN FIND. - pushrod

Comment 5
Just remembered , on Toyota , theres a diagnostic connector under the hood -maybe 2 side-by-side , one larger than the other (about an inch by inch&a-half) pop the lid open and inside the cover there should be a label showing the 'pin' connections. look for 'T' and 'TE1' jump them together and turn the key on to get 'flash codes' from check engine light. PLEASE!! If someone reading this can elaborate more on this please do! It's been a long time and I hope I'm remembering correct. And I gotta admit , having a duplicate that works, to test and compare with is a definite plus! - ziptie12

I'll try that tomorrow evening after work. IT'S TOMORROW AND THERE'S NO "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT". I'M SURE THAT MEANS SOMETHING SPECIFIC TO SOMEONE WHO ISN'T ME. What I learned yesterday: You can pull almost any relay and fuse and the car will still fire plugs EXCEPT the EFI relay and fuse under the hood near the battery. With those pulled out (or bad) the car will turn over fine but won't fire plugs (or, I'm guessing, the injectors). I thought I had it until I swapped them from one corolla to the other and the running corolla still ran, and the dead corolla stayed dead. If there isn't a crank position sensor hiding somewhere in there, then I'm pretty much down to the computer. Maybe the flash code plan will shed some light and spare me another pricey stab in the dark. Can't really complain though, 235k on the odo. Engine's strong enough to pull another 100k if I can get around this issue. Just found this online: Toyota OBD1 Codes Retrieval For Pre-1996 Vehicles Toyota 1990-1995 vehicles obd1 code retrieval When the check engine light shows up in your 1990-95 Toyota vehicle, the quickest way to get the code is to access the diagnostic connector in the engine compartment ( usually sitting in the fender) or by the kick panel under the dash board in the passenger side. Connect a jumper wire between terminals TE1 and E1 terminals and by turning the key on, it will start flashing the codes in your dash. On Tercel and MR2, use the jumper wire between terminals T and E1 instead. If there are no codes, the check engine light will flash 2 times per second CONSTANTLY with no patterns or pauses. If there are any codes, it will be shown in 2 digits codes. Example: code 24 is shown as 2 flashes, a pause followed by 4 flashes. If there are mode codes, the next one will transmitted after 2.5 seconds. (One some models, codes are displayed in one digit code only and the difference is the codes are displayed with 4.5 seconds delay between codes). When finished reading the codes, turn the key off and remove the jumper wire. Here are the common codes for Toyota vehicles 1988-95: Code 11 Momentary interruption in power supply to ECU (electronic control unit or computer) up to 1991 Code 12 Engine revolution signal missing Code 13 Rpm signal to ecu missing above 1000 rpm Code 14 Igniter signal to ecu missing Code 16 A/T control signal missing from ecu Code 21 Main oxygen sensor signal fault Code 22 Water temperature sensor circuit fault Code 23 and 24 Intake air temperature signal fault Code 25 Air/fuel ratio LEAN Code 26 Air/fuel ratio RICH Code 27 Sub-oxygen sensor signal or heater circuit fault Code 28 No.2 oxygen sensor/heater signal fault Code 31 and 32 Air flow meter circuit or Vacuum sensor signal fault Code 34 and 36 Turbo-charging pressure signal fault Code 35 Altitude compensation sensor signal fault Code 41 Throttle position circuit fault Code 42 Vehicle speed sensor circuit Code 43 No starter signal to the ecu Code 51 AC signal on; DL contact off (in trany shifter with diagnostic connector jumped) Code 52, 53 and 55 Knock sensor fault Code 71 EGR system malfunction Code 72 Fuel cut solenoid signal fault Code 78 Fuel pump control signal fault Code 81, 83, 84 and 85 TCM communication fault After getting the above OBD1 fault codes, reset it by disconnecting the battery negative terminal for 1-2 minutes and reconnect. Get the code again when the engine is warmed up. The next bunch of codes are the ones you will fix. Doesn't say which of these kills fire to the plugs or what's the fix. Still might become clearer with some hands on. - backwatereddy

Comment 9
I should have mentioned that the spare Corolla is the wife's car. She is "encouraging" me to get the primary mail car going ASAP. Here's the new news (at least I only just noticed it): When the key is on there is a faint, high-pitched sound emanating from the computer, but none of the other cycling noises the running car makes. And, as mentioned, no "check" light. I'm about ready to take the plunge for a brain box. And yes, makes reading fault codes moot. Thanks for the opportunity to use the word "moot". That may be the first time in this life that I've had the opportunity. Only 4 letters and a lonely, single syllable, yet worth 50 cents easy. - backwatereddy

This reply is moot, but I'm glad to see you're hanging in there! Wetry mentioned what I failed to , about the check engine light (thanks B.)......Keep the wife happy! - ziptie12

Comment 11
Hey y'all, keeping wife happy is #1! The rest is MOOT, I had to use it too since i looked it up to find out what the Hell it means. Had a pretty good idea though. I think at this point a computer is what it is going to take to fix this car. It's been fun, at least for me! Between the three of us were worth at least $1.50. - pushrod

Comment 13
Sorry it took so long to get back - I got a half day today and took the time to put a new computer in the toyo. Still no "engine" light, still no spark. Beginning to see why there are so many vehicles for sale out there with a plethora (word for the day!)of new parts yet stubbornly disfunctional. I am officially out of ideas. I talked to the service manager at the local Toyota dealership, he scratched his head and suggested all the things that have already been done as well as the crankshaft position sensor (pretty sure there isn't one) and the knock sensor (same deal). I found a 1978 mail jeep with a 4 cyl engine, a carburetor, and 1st gen. electronic ignition. Pretty tempting to retro-grade and have a clue about my ride. My Sunday ride is a 38 yr old ironhead harley with points and a carburetor. See fire, see gas, set timing - it goes - doesn't even need much compression. - backwatereddy
October 23, 2012
Comment 14
THE "ONLY" THING LEFT IS AN OPEN CIRCUIT TO THE ECM. IT IS NOT GETTING EITHER POWER OR GROUND OR BOTH!! FROM IGNITION SWITCH OR BROKEN WIRE. TIME TO GET A SCHEMATIC OF THE COMPUTER CONNECTORS TO FIND MISSING SUPPLY. TRUN KEY ON AND START MOVING WIRE HARNESS TO SEE IF YOU HEAR STUFF CLICK. WITH EVERYTHING HOOKED UP OF COURSE. - pushrod

Comment 15
Wetry, Will do as you say next off day. Rooted in the dark ages of technology, I am somewhat adrift but somewhat adaptable. Hey, does the throttle position sensor affect spark? Does the '94 have one? And where is it? - backwatereddy

I also am having this same problem! Worked through all the tests, the dist. bits all test out. Don't have the money to gamble at expensive parts replacement. I hope the original poster will update.. thanks - Nico Le

Comment 18
I am having the same exact problem with no spark. changed the distributor and swithed relays with another car. It ran but my broken one still has no spark even with the parts from the good one. What else is there to do? If you ever find out let us know, Car is nice 100,000 miles on it. It just shut off one day. I have had other Toyotas and ran them 10s of thousands of miles with only one distributer to replace. Distributor is definitely their weak point. - Jellow man

Ilina Voda Eco-Park (I&V)
Ilina Voda (literally translated – Ilia's Water) is suburb on the east verge of Kragujevac, near the right bank of Lepenica river. It is known for its eco-park of the same name which covers area of about 0.07 square kilometers. The park land is the legacy of Svetozar Andrejevic, donated to the city of Kragujevac and its citizens by legal act of his will dated the 2nd of March 1900. Svetozar Andrejevic was the brother of architect Adreja Andrejevic whose project was the Church Cathedral of Holy Mother of God in Kragujevac.
Park was neglected and even used as an illegal junk yard. But, in 1997 local community members have organized an informal group with the goal to revive the park. Since then the works in Ilina Voda eco-park are constant, and the park gets brighter appearance ever since.
The modest fountain was erected in 2000, to remind on the grateful deed of Svetozar Andrejevic. On the Easter of 2004, the "Easter Egg", sculpture made by self-taught local artist Milovan Pavlovic – Mipa, was inaugurated.
On the remote corner of the park stands an old well reconstructed in 1884 by King Milan Obrenovic. Ruined, that fountain will regain its original appearance in the days to come.
Ilina Voda is on the right bank of Lepenica river, within the walking distance from the center of the city. The easiest way to reach it is to cross any of the bridges and to follow the road downstream (as much as it is possible, the river would not be visible all the time), until the "Easter Egg" can be seen.

Draca, Crkva Svetog Nikole (I&V)
Unlike the Draca monastery in general, the data about monastery church are precisely known due to the inscriptions inside it. Crkva Svetog Nikole – the Church of Saint Nicholas was built between the 27th of May and 6th of October 1734; the works on the fresco paintings started on the 1st of September 1735, and the date of its completion is unknown but it was within the same year.
Ktitor – the noble patron, of the church was Stanisa Markovic Mlatisuma.
The church was built in the style of Moravska skola – the Morava School, typical for Serbian sacred architecture of the second half of 14th and the 15th centuries. Although of modest size, almost without any ornaments, with low dome, it was probably the most important structure built at that time in Serbia, outside of Belgrade. The bell tower is latter, 1830s addition, and it is very obvious. It was added by Toma Vucic Perisic. It is of baroque style, "imported" from Vojvodina, north Serbian province, and, at that time, part of Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Frescoes in the Church of Saint Nicholas were painted by the unknown artists, probably from Macedonia. They suffered severe destruction, but still, they are among the best examples of the 18th century fresco painting in Serbia.

Crkva u Grosnici | Church in Grosnica (I&V)
Crkva Svetih Apostola Petra i Pavla – Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Grosnica, known simply as Crkva u Grosnici – Church in Grosnica, is one of the oldest preserved and the most beautiful edifices in the wider area of the city. The piece of land to build the church was donated by knez Milos Obrenovic. The story says that the storm had taken the wooden ball from the top of the nearby log cabin church dedicated to Saint Thomas, and dropped it undamaged to the spot of the present day church. It was taken as a divine sign.
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Grosnica was built between 1834 and 1842, following the late baroque style, "imported" from Vojvodina, north Serbian province, and, at that time, part of Austro-Hungarian Empire. Unlike most of the baroque churches in Vojvodina which are white painted, the church in Grosnica is covered with nice cut plates of sandstone.
It used to happen that the funeral and wedding ceremony occur at the same time and people in grief and the joyful people meet in front of the church… Therefore the new church was needed, and it was built in 1993. The new, tiny Crkva Svetog Grigorija Bogoslova – Church of Saint Gregory the Theologian, dedicated to the Saint also known as Gregory of Nazianzus, the 4th-century Archbishop of Constantinople, stands by the old one.
Nowadays, the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, located in the beautifully maintained grounds, is one of the most appealing "hidden treasures" of Kragujevac.
The church in Grosnica is not within the walking distance from the center of the city, but it is not hard to reach it by car in no more than 10 minutes. The way is as follows: enter Knez Mihailova (Knez Mihailo street) from the center of the city, turn left near restaurant Sest topola, just opposite of the yellow "plastic" building of post office, turn right in front of entrance to "Zastava" factory, then right again following "Grosnica" sign, and left on the following crossing. The church stands by the road, on the left hand side.

Draca Monastery (I&V)
Draca is Serbian Orthodox monastery. It was founded probably in the second half of the 16th century, although the tradition links it with despot Stefan Lazarevic. The identity of monastery founder is lost, and the first monastery location is uncertain, but it is not its present day location.
During the short period of so-called First Habsburg Serbia, in 1734, Stanisa Markovic Mlatisuma reestablished the monastery and erected the Church of Saint Nicholas on the foundation of an older church. Stanisa Markovic Mlatisuma was born in Montenegro, near Niksic. He joined Austrian army, and after the Austro-Turkish War and the signing of Treaty of Pozarevac, in 1718, he was promoted for his courage in battles, to the rank of obercaptain and he become the commander the south front of the Serbian police. After another war with Austria and the Belgrade Treaty, signed in 1739, Ottoman Empire regained power over Serbia. Stanisa Markovic Mlatisuma was accused for being unsuccessful in this war, and he died imprisoned in Osijek, two years later, in 1741. The site of his grave is not known, his name is not widely known as well, but his generous deed preserved his name from oblivion.
In the late 18th century Turks set fire to the monastery and intentionally damaged the frescoes in the church. The reason for that brutal act was the refuge Koca Andjelkovic, the leader of Serb rebellion, had found in the monastery.
The 19th century and the liberation of Serbia had brought the period of prosperity to the monastery. In the 4th decade of the 19th century Toma Vucic Perisic, hero from the First and the Second Serbian Uprising, financed the building of the bell tower, the new monastery inn and a fence.
Nowadays Draca monastery is beautiful, maintained place, settled in the very nice green valley. Inside the fence there are Crkva Svetog Nikole – Church of Saint Nicholas, and two monastery inns. All of the monastery buildings have been restored in the second half of the 20th century.
Draca Monastery is 9 km from Kragujevac, slightly off the road to Gornji Milanovac. It is easy to reach it by car, just by turning left when traveling from Kragujevac (there is brown sign with symbol), and then, simply, following the road.

Grosnicko jezero | Grosnica Lake (I&V)
Grosnicko jezero, known also as Vodojaza (literally – dammed water, which is the common name for artificial lakes in Serbia, although capitalized noun, it almost has a meaning of common noun), is the lake made between 1931 and 1938, to provide watter supplies for Kragujevac. It is in nearby village Grosnica, on the tiny, 17 km long, Grosnicka reka – Grosnica river. The dam was extended twice – in 1957, for the height of 5 m, and in 1962.
Today the lake is maintained by Kragujevac piped-water network and sewer company. It is the prime zone of sanitary protection and all activities – fishing, swimming, camping… are prohibited. Grosnicko jezero and the dam could only be seen from the narrow, dangerous macadam road passing by the lake.
The lake is not within the walking distance from the city, and it is not easy to reach it. The way, by car, is as follows: enter Knez Mihailova (Knez Mihailo street) from the center of the city, turn left near restaurant Sest topola, just opposite of the yellow "plastic" building of post office, turn right in front of entrance to "Zastava" factory, then right again following "Grosnica" sign, then left, and, finally, on the first major crossing after the church – left, and left again, right in front of piped-water network and sewer company gate, to the macadam road. The lake would appear on the right hand side.
Grosnicko jezero is neither the major tourist attraction nor often visited by the citizens of Kragujevac.

Jezero Bubanj | Bubanj Lake (I&V)
Jezero Bubanj, the artificial lake, and its surrounding make tiny green oasis very near the center of Kragujevac. It is good place for walk with children, for a bit of break during warm days…
Jezero Bubanj occupies area by the end of Lepenicki bulevar (Lepenica Boulevard), at the entrance to the city from the highway.
There is restaurant by the lake called Dvoriste but it is not a good choice because of the very, very poor service.

Sokolana (I&V)
Sokolana – building of the Sokol movement, Slavic youth movement and gymnastics organization, was erected in 1928 by German company "Hentch". It is the biggest and one of a few remaining buildings of Old Workers' Colony, settlement built as the part of the WWI Germany reparation to Serbia. The building of Sokolana achieved the status of symbol of Workers' Colony, and even the city itself – it is preserved for its historical value, in the surrounding of modern housing blocks.
Nowadays Sokolana is the seat of reestablished Sokol movement of Kragujevac, the local community office building and, supporting the tradition of pigeon breeding, for more than a 50 years – the venue of the exhibitions of birds and small animals.
Sokolana is located in the part of Kragujevac called Stara radnicka kolonija – Old Workers' Colony, or simply Kolonija – the Colony. The easiest way to reach the building is to enter Bulevar Kraljice Marije (Queen Maria Boulevard), from the main street – Kralja Akeksandra I Karadjordjevica (King Alexander I Karadjordjevic Street), and then to take the 6th right-hand-side street – Laze Marinkovica.

Monastery Divostin
The central region of Serbia, Sumadija, is known for its many monasteries. Monastery Divostin has been around for a long time. It was destroyed once during the Ottoman times and it fell apart in 1969 due to lack of upkeep (it was the time of Communism and anti-church feelings were in the air). It was successfully repaired in 1974 and has served the Sumadija region well making it the most popular monastery in region. It is located a few kilometers outside Kragujevac.
"Ipsilon" – The Highest Building in Kragujevac (V)
Skyscraper "Ipsilon" is the highest building in Kragujevac. It is housing building of 17 floors, about 60 m high. "Ipsilon" is in the part of Kragujevac called Erdoglija.

"Forest brothers" group accused in terrorist attack on Abu Bakr Mosque go on trial
29 June 2009 [18:24] -
Preliminary hearing on the case of the organized gang, which is accused of forming a group "Forest brothers", committing a number of crimes, including terror attack on Abu Bakr mosque, is held in the Court of Grave Crimes.
According to APA, identification of accused persons and other procedures take place during the preliminary hearing of trial presided over by judge Karamat Aliyev. Gudrat Malikov, Vahid Asadov, Ulfat Maliov, Rafig Aghacanov, Anar Valimatov, Rufat Rzayev, Mammad Mammadov refused to use the services of public lawyers. Other defendants were rejected in their refusal of public lawyer because of language barrier. Aggrieved person Nadir Usubaliyev said it was incorrect to hold the process because two of the people, committed explosion in the mosque, are still at large. Judge Aliyev said the case would be reviewed in the phase of indictment. Imam of Abu Bakr Mosque Haji Gamat Suleymanov also attended the trial as an aggrieved person.
The judges left for consultations to schedule the judicial survey.
The process will be continued in the second half of the day.
The defendants faced charges under Articles 214 (terrorism), 120 (premeditated murder), 279 (creation of armed formations or groups, which are not provided by the legislation of the Azerbaijan Republic), 228 (illegal purchase, transfer, selling, storage, transportation and carrying of fire-arms, accessories to it, supplies, explosives) of the Criminal Code. 26 were detained during the initial investigation. They are Azerbaijanis Elnur Bashirov, Gudrat Malikov, Khalid Valimatov, Ulfat Malikov, Vahid Asadov, Zabit Shikhbabayev, Fariz Mammadov, Samir Babayev, Anar Valimatov, Rasim ISgandarov, Elshan allahverdiyev, Rafig Agajanov, Taleh Maharramov, Teymur Narimanov, Bozorgi Kamran, Azer Bakhishov, Musa Orujov, Alexander Nuraliyev, Mammad Mammadov, Elkhan Osmanov, Zaur Jafarov, Rufat Rzayev, Sardar Bunyatov, Russian citizens Magomed Isayev and Turkish citizens Yamin Ali and Ozdemir Ergin.
According to indictment, Ilgar "Abdulmajeed" Mollaciyev from Zagatala Region of Azerbaijan, his brother-in-law Samir "Suleyman" Mehdiyev and other persons involved in radical religious group with them were identified implicated in an explosion in Abu Bakr mosque in Baku on August 17, 2008. The Ministry of National Security arrested the Sumgayit group (Abu Jafar group) of 17, including the group's leader – Naif Abdulkarim Al-Badawi in 2007. Later Mollaciyev and Mehdiyev formed a new group planning to commit terrorist attacks to violate socio-political stability in Azerbaijan. 13 members of the group were arrested by the Ministry of National Security and large deal of ammunition, explosives, schemes, instructions, communication means, maps, battle instructions for the mountainous and forestry areas, military equipments and others were confiscated from them. Two of them – Taleh Maharramov and Samir Babayev gave detailed evidences about the activity, plans and intentions of the group. They said those persons helped Samir Mehdiyev, Ilgar Mollaciyev and others, who illegally crossed the state borders of Azerbaijan on July 19, to arrive in Baku and Sumgayit. The first part of the "Forest Brothers" – "Sumgayit Jamaat" had to commit robberies in Baku and to collect money to fund armament and terrorist attacks. The second part – "Guba and Gusar Jamaat" had to set military camps in the mountainous and forestry areas of the republic. Member of the "Forest Brothers" Araz Balabeyov and several others, were killed during the anti-terror operations in southern regions of Dagestan.

Charm City Music Festival
The inaugural festival rocks downtown.
By Jess Mayhugh. Posted on September 18, 2012
-Photo by Jess Blumberg Mayhugh
I got to attend the first annual Charm City Music Festival on Saturday and, by all accounts, the festival was a big success. An estimated 10,000 people packed the empty lot off of S. Caroline Street in Harbor East and festival promoters 24-7 Entertainment and CBS Radio say they're hoping to do it all over again next year.
Everything at the festival—from the food vendors and fair rides to the performance schedule and crowd control—seemed to run extremely smoothly on Saturday. Earlier in the day, local bands All Mighty Senators, Jah Works, Kelly Bell Band, and Ballyhoo took the stage. Predictably, the lot got the most crowded towards the end of the day when headliners Eve 6, Stephen Marley, Flogging Molly, and Weezer all performed.
Eve 6 played a raucous but crowd-friendly set on the secondary stage including singles "Promise," "Here's to the Night," and closer "Inside Out." Stephen Marley came on the main stage around 6 p.m. and, fittingly, played a much more laid-back set, including some of his dad's classics. Next up was Flogging Molly, whose impeccable blend of Irish folk and punk rock wowed the crowd as always.
Before Weezer came on stage, New York-based band Madison Rising did a rendition of the National Anthem as fireworks blasted into the air. Then Weezer, pictured, right, tore through a hit-driven, 90-minute set that was mainly focused on more recent singles like "Island in the Sun," "Hash Pipe," and "Bevery Hills." But I did appreciate nods to some older material, particularly "El Scorcho" and their set-ending "Say It Ain't So," which sent the crowd wild.
All in all, the festival drew a huge crowd, but never felt claustrophobic, and overall seemed like a big success. Plus, it was refreshing to have a festival right in the heart of downtown—seeing the Baltimore skyline in the background of the main stage was an added bonus.

Potential world record brown trout caught in New Zealand
A 42-pound, 1-ounce brown trout was caught earlier this year in New Zealand, according to officials with the International Game Fish Association.
If the catch is certified by the organization, it will supplant a pair of brown trout caught in the Lake Michigan basin, including one off Racine, as the all-tackle world record.
According to the IGFA, a Kiwi angler named Otwin Kandoff was fishing March 8 with a silver spoon in the waters of the Ohau Canal in New Zealand when he hooked the huge trout. Kandoff was using 8-pound test line and landed the fish in 20 minutes.
Its weight would establish it as the IGFA brown trout world record. Kandoff has submitted an application for the record; the IGFA is reviewing it.
The record has been held jointly by a 41-pound, 8-ounce fish caught in July 2010 off Racine by Roger Hellen of Franksville and a 41-pound, 7-ounce fish caught in 2009 in the Manistee River of Michigan.
Rules of the organization require fish in excess of 25 pounds to surpass the standing record by more than 0.5% in weight to hold the record alone.
Even if knocked down a notch in the all-tackle category, Lake Michigan's brown trout fishery will retain at least two top spots in the world IGFA rankings.
Hellen's fish will stand as the world record in IGFA's 50-pound line class. Hellen caught the fish on a reel spooled with 50-pound backing, two colors of lead core line with a 27-pound rating, and a 20-foot leader of 20-pound test monofilament. Hellen's fish is still the Wisconsin state record.
And a 38-inch brown trout caught-and-released in December 2011 in the Milwaukee harbor by Eric Haataja of West Allis still holds the world record in IGFA's all tackle length division. The division is for fish caught, measured, photographed and released alive.
The IGFA is headquartered in Dania Beach, Florida. For more information on the IGFA, visit www.igfa.org

The new Westfield and Hammerson development is a huge selling point for the town
Andrew Bloss, Reporter / / News
A VIP tour of the town is hoped to have attracted more investors to Croydon.
The Develop Croydon Forum, who are a group of businesses which promote the town, organised the tour which is held at various points during the year.
Last week potential investors saw some of the major developments taking shape in the borough as well as hearing from leading public and private sector representatives.
Jo Negrini, the borough's executive director of development and environment, urged investors to get involved in "the biggest and most interesting regeneration programme in London".
She said: "The whole thing for us is about creating a fantastic place. We want to welcome you to Croydon and are happy to meet any of you who would like to be part of the next stage of the story."

Enjoying life, looking to share experiences.
I'm easygoing, occasionally witty, and always looking to make new friends. I enjoy being active (at least one mud run every few months), but I also enjoy the quiet nights of lighting a fire, cooking, and watching a movie. I like to have variety in my life and I'm eager for new experiences, which is why I moved to San Francisco from Santa Barbara a year and a half ago. I spend a lot of time with the friends I've made here, who are also very active which makes it easy for me to talk them into all of the fun and exciting activities in SF. Besides all of the festivals and random events around the city, trivia nights are common occurrences, as well as Thursday nights at the Exploratorium or Academy of Sciences. In the last year or so, I've become passionate about cooking, which I know my friends love when I have them "taste test". I'm still far from professional chef, but I like to pretend that's only because my studio has a tiny kitchen. I easily get along with most other people and I'm looking for the same quality in someone else. That person would also lead a relatively active lifestyle and be driven to learn new things and visit new places.

Beneath the ice at the bottom of the Earth is a magnificent subterranean labyrinth, a place of breathtaking wonders--and terrors beyond imagining.

But they are not the first to venture here--and those they follow did not return. There are mysteries here older than time, and revelations that could change the world. But there are also things that should not be disturbed--and a devastating truth that could doom Ashley and the expedition: they are not alone.

In June of 1996, I lost my marbles...
I mean, one moment I had them, the next I had this distinct feeling that all of my marbles, were gone...My entire world turned upside down, ransacked—marbles missing!
Shortly after that mind-altering epiphany, my husband & I were walking along the beach on a dark, half-moon lit night when I had the sudden urge to bend down & scoop up the handful of sand at my feet. There, in my hand was a beautiful, dark sienna marble...The first of many I'd unearth.

The Most Heard, Least Known Composers In America
What a long strange trip it's been.
As you can guess from my last name, I've been around Stephen Arnold Music for quite a long time. I've often mused that it was quite an eye-opening discovery, around age 8 or 9, to find out that EVERYONE didn't have a recording studio.
While the business has changed from its humble origins as Stephen Arnold Productions, one thing has remained the same: We're proud to be an independent and customer service is our lifeblood.
So what exactly does that mean? Aren't there lots of composers and music houses out there?
Sure, there are many fine composers out there, and many successful music houses. But to have staff including sales, marketing, admin, not to mention our creative team and all the musicians and talent that we count on daily – working alongside full-time employees numbering 15+, Stephen Arnold Music today is a different animal completely.
We're proud to service over 300 television stations along with some of the largest networks on the planet. Our music helped launch CNN Headline News (now HLN) and recently rebranded CCTV China's 5 international channels — the largest television network in the world by viewership.
Aside from the detailed creative and production that takes place daily in our studios, there is a heaving database of administration – from contracts to sales to copyrights to registrations to making sure payroll goes out; it's no small task to keep Stephen Arnold Music humming on a daily basis.
Ask around and you'll discover what sets us apart: our dedication to customer service, understanding the science AND art of sonic branding, and always putting our clients first (even if adding that saxophone is a bad idea!). Our passion is to make our clients look and sound great; to brand stations, networks, TV shows, and media in a way that's memorable, innovative and engaging.
Want to know what it means to be #indie? Pick up the phone and give us a call – ask for anyone in the company, from President Stephen Arnold to VP Creative Services Chad Cook all the way down to the mail room and you'll be put right through. It's always been that way at Stephen Arnold Music.
Happy Hour is Friday 4pm sharp – stop by, see us and we'll show you around.
Editor's Note: For more information on what is means to be #indie, check out Newscast Studios article: http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/04/16/stephen-arnold-relishes-in-independence/
We've had quite an eventful year here at SAM – which we'll no doubt touch on very soon, so check back here in the coming weeks! But in a year where we saw one of our largest rebranding projects EVER in CCTV International, we just had to get out to Promax Asia, held this year in Singapore!
Stephen Arnold Music was pleased to be a sponsor this year, and if you attended and didn't pick up one of Stephen's books – A Story of Six Strings – then be sure to let us know, and we'll get one shipped out to you.
Our partners in the CCTV rebrand – Flint Skallen – were presenters in the session "A Deep Dive Into The Rebranding of CCTV International"
We're very pleased to continue our long standing relationship with Promax and look forward to many more international projects!
Working for The World Leader in Sonic Branding™ means I'm well versed in the Pavlovian effect music has on the human brain. Which is a fancy way of saying that as a mega sports fan, I know that when I hear this:
…I'm ready for some Football!
That, of course, is Sonic Branding: Being able to identify something – anything – based only on the music or notes associated with it.
And believe it or not, little 12 year old Mikey Finnegan, already a sports nut, also already knew what Sonic Branding was. So here are 5 examples from my childhood of how my favorite pastime – SPORTS! – intersected with my job of the past 10 years – MUSIC! And even way back in the mid-70's, without grasping the importance of branded music, I was influenced by it…
ABC's Wide World of Sports – Charles Fox's classic music combined with announcer Jim McKay's famous line "the Thrill of the Victory and the Agony of Defeat" left an indelible impression in my young mind. Whenever I heard the theme, I'd sprint to the TV room to catch the show open and probably a Muhammad Ali boxing match. This is also a great example of how music and other audio elements – like Jim McKay's voice over – can work in tandem to reinforce a brand and a sonic brand.
ABC's Monday Night Football – Fox also composed another outrageously popular sports theme of the 70's, Monday Night Football. And who could forget Howard Cosell's legendary voice backed by perhaps the most recognizable TV theme song of that era?
This Week In Baseball – As I grew older, I began turning to Basketball; but Baseball was the first sport I was fanatical about, and a show called This Week In Baseball was my all-time favorite. Again, the voice over – this time delivered by Mel Allen – worked perfectly to create the overall sonic brand…but it was this song by John Scott that signified my next hour was spoken for.
Olympics Theme Song – Officially titled"Bugler's Dream and Olympic Fanfare Medley", John Williams' classic sports theme signified power, athleticism and crossed borders and countries.
Wimbledon Championships – This music screams 1970, but it also told me that the greatest tennis tournament was on TV.
As I write, we are in the midst of sports television glory: MLB's World Series, mid-season NCAA/NFL (how bout them Cowboys!!!), and the start of the season for both the NHL and NBA. In fact this weekend all four will be on the tube at some point. And even if you're in another room, you'll know whether its baseball, football, basketball or hockey just by listening to the music. And THAT'S Sonic Branding.
Coming from a country where oil refineries are the bread and butter of life, you wouldn't be surprised to know that a music career doesn't sound too appealing to the ears of some parents where I grew up.
That was kind of my case.
I was born and raised in a little town in the north part of Venezuela, on a little peninsula called Paraguana. There are three things you can find out there: beautiful beaches, perfect weather and oil refineries.
I always loved music and I started playing music at a young age and had several bands growing up. But, when it was time to go to college, I didn't have too many options given the local industry; it was either be an Oil & Gas Engineer, or an Oil & Gas Engineer! I lost my dad at a young age and he was a Mechanical Engineer his whole life, despite never recieving a college degree in it…So I went to college and got a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I knew its what he would have wanted
After six months and a horrible experience working in oil refineries I decided to follow my passion: Music! I came to the U.S. with $100 in my pocket and did not speak English. My best friend from high school was living here already, so I stayed with him; going to community college to learn English and working as a cashier to pay for my school. I went to Dallas Sound Lab, now called Media Tech.
After I finished I thought it was my time to shine. But nobody called; no emails, nothing!! So, Plan B… wait, there wasn't a Plan B.
Finally I got an interview in Austin, to work in a Recording Studio there. The interview never happened, even though I sat in their lobby waiting for 4 hours AND after driving 3 hours to get there.
On my way back home I got a call from somebody I had never heard of. I never sent my resume to him, but some how he found me…his name is Stephen Arnold, from Stephen Arnold Music.
I remember that conversation like it was yesterday. Stephen said, " I would like to bring you in for an interview for a paid internship." … pause… I thought was a friend of mine making fun of me. I said, "look man, this is not funny, my day is a mess, don't joke with me right now"… pause… Stephen: "I would like to bring you in for an interview for a paid internship"… pause.. me: "holy crap! So sorry man, sure I will be there!" Wow, I was speechless.
11 years later I still work for Stephen as a Senior Audio Editor and Sound Designer in the Creative Services Department. I have been learning from the best, because I want to be the best. Working at SAM has been a unique experience, learning so much more about the music business than I had ever even dreamt about. The quality of musicians I have the privilege to work with every day and the amazing writers, producers and engineers help me to grow professionally.
Learning the creative process of making music at SAM is such a unique thing, the way we walk step by step with the client to get to know exactly what they have in their mind is just amazing. Following my passion has taken me for a nice ride, and I am still learning. I've been doing Sound Design, Mixing, Recording, also I have the chance to do Live Sound and even working on Movie Sets as a freelancer. And of course I still get a band together when I can…. Gonzo City may have played its last gig in Ft Worth, but here's a picture of the guys!
I guess the phrase "Follow Your Passion" worked perfect for me. A wise man told me once, "Find what you love to do and then find the way to get paid doing it". Music is such of big part of everything, and learning how to be good at it has opened a lot of doors in my career; and it is because of working at a place like SAM that I am where I am in my professional career.

Artist Dana Schutz at MIAD tonight

'Maleficent' casts a so-so spell, despite Jolie, Fanning
Fleshing out one of Disney's quintessential villains is an intriguing idea. But, while "Maleficent" teases at the premise's potential, it never quite sustains the magic.
Don't blame Angelina Jolie or Elle Fanning. As Maleficent and Aurora, they supply most of the story's power and spark. The problem is that the movie tries to cover so much ground that none of the characters is given enough depth. »Read Full Article(1)

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Bobot likely to pass on write-in attempt
Bobot said a write-in campaign would be too costly. A mailing to tell voters how to write his name on the ballot and provide more information about his platform and experience would cost about $100,000, Bobot said. Only a major unforeseen development in the race could change his mind, he said.
Bobot lost to Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. in last month's Democratic primary and at that time said he was considering a write-in campaign. Clarke will face Republican Donald Holt in the Nov. 7 general election.
