Nashville Repertory Theatre is thrilled with your interest in our volunteer program. Our volunteers are an important and much-appreciated asset, and we are excited to offer many opportunities to be involved with our productions.
Volunteer needs include:
- Provide homemade food for LookIns. Volunteers provide "made from scratch" food (just like our sets, costumes, etc.) working with the Volunteer Coordinator.
- Provide office assistance. Occasionally, we have a large mailing or filing cabinet that could use a few extra hands and a keen eye for detail.
- Greet and assist for Special Events, Education and Outreach Activities, Ingram New Works Festival, and REPaloud readings. The greeters direct and assist patrons at event location 45 minutes prior to curtain.
- Assist in our costume or scene shop. If you are already skilled with a sewing machine or tools, there may be special opportunities available in our costume and set shops. We make every effort to match skills with our needs.
In appreciation for your time and effort, we usually provide complimentary tickets or VIP seating to performances, as available. Thank you in advance for all you may do to help us create great professional theatre here in Middle Tennessee!

Toffoli Prosecco
Sku: 8505
Since 1964, the Toffoli family has been producing the finest wines of their region at the northern end of the Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene appellation. It began when Gabriele Toffoli's father Vincenzo, who was a gifted grafter of vines in the 1950's, bought five hectares of land which he planted to vines. Today, most of the operations around the winery fall into Gabriele's hands, but his two brothers, Sante (the former mayor) and Luciano, also help in the vineyard. An additional five hectares are now leased from a neighbor due to demand for their Prosecco. Prosecco can be fermo (still), frizzante (slightly effervescent), or spumante (which only means sparkling in Italian, and has nothing to do with sweet). Prosecco undergoes the Charmat process, which is preferred because it is faster than Methode Champenoise, enabling the wine to get to the market with all its wonderful freshness. Prosecco s wonderful aperitif.
With cold static decanting over 12-24 hours the solid particles (skins, pulp and seeds) precipitate from the wine. The fermentation of the clear must with selected yeasts takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 59-64° F.
After the fermentation, the wine is decanted and separated from the deposited lees. It is then put in stainless steel tanks for decanting and periodic controls. It takes about three months in order for the wine to be clear. After these operations, the still wine is ready to be made into sparkling wine through the Charmat method in which the wine is put into a pressure tank with sugar and yeast is added, causing a second fermentation to take place. This phase requires an additional 50 days and subsequently the wine is ready for bottling. It is clarified and bottled using a counter-pressure filler.
The effervescence (interior bottle pressure) of the sparkling wine is around 4 bars.
The residual sugar of the "Extra Dry" Prosecco is 17 g/l (1.7%) while the total acidity is 6.5 g/l.

Letter: Changes are coming to libraries in Martin County
Brett Lear, Hobe Sound
Letter: Changes are coming to libraries in Martin County
"What changes are you making to the library?"
Some of you have noticed that we are out from behind our desks, walking with you to find a book in the stacks or helping you find something on the computer.
Some of you have asked me, "Where have some of the books gone?" And I explain that we've weeded out some of those medical books from the 1980s and travel guides from the '90s. We give these materials to our friends and they sell them at the Book Depot in the flea market. The proceeds come back to the library and we then buy more books.
We also haven't messed with success. Those services that you love — Jane Miller's film series, book clubs, story times for youth, best-sellers, and BookMania! — haven't gone anywhere.
We've achieved new successes as well. The idea lab opened at the Peter & Julie Cummings Library this summer. This lab offers iPads, iMacs, studio equipment, cameras, digital software and hands-on assistance from skilled volunteers. The idea lab is a place where residents come to explore, create, and develop skills that help them get ahead at school and in the workplace.
At your request, library staff continue to purchase e-books and downloadable audiobooks. We now own more than 2,500 electronic titles you can read on your Kindle, Nook, iPad, and Android tablet. Thousands of songs are available for download from our website via Freegal. And children can learn a language online with Muzzy or read an e-book with TumbleBook.
Our greatest resource is our talented staff. As always, we are all here to assist and listen to you. To get a complete picture of what lies ahead at your library, take a look at our new Long Range Services Plan at www.library.martin.fl.us. Our residents, you, remain our top priority.
Brett Lear is director of the Martin County Library System.

On Who He'd Adopt
Mr. Couture:
"If I was going to adopt one it would probably be Major because he's just so cool and he just goes with the flow. He's that little kid you don't have to correct or put on punishment many times because he's just so smart and very intelligent."

Radiant + Netapp + VMWare + Cisco. The top cloud computing service in Canada.
Netapp just released the case study on Radiant's AlwaysThere cloud computing platform. It's posted up on the Netapp/Cisco/VMWare site dedicated to the 3 vendor's joint solution for cloud computing infrastructure. There's some great information in there about Radiant cloud services and why we selected these vendors.
What you don't see in the case study is why Radiant customers should care. Isn't cloud computing all about NOT knowing what's under the hood and just leaving that to the service provider to sort out?
We don't necessarily think so. While our customers come in all sizes, Radiant cloud computing customers generally all have a couple of things in common:
1) They are concerned about the security model of moving important data "into the cloud".
It doesn't matter if this is a small customer buying one Virtual Server or a larger enterprise moving an entire segment of their infrastructure to a Virtual Datacentre they can slice as they wish. They like that there is virtually no difference security wise between this infrastructure residing at Radiant versus having it inside their walls.
This is especially true when you use Radiant's connectivity products to connect your office(s) with your Radiant Virtual Datacentre.
For the really technical readers, check out the Netapp video below about secure multi-tenancy. This is how we ensure our customers' data is completely isolated from each other.
2) They need to understand the guaranteed service levels
They expect the infrastructure to be more available than running it in house and they want that in the form of an SLA. Any service provider can give you an SLA (amazingly most still don't). It helps when you know the SLA is backed by the 3 biggest cloud infrastructure vendors out there.
3) They want to be self-sufficient but also want someone to pick up the phone when they have a question.
Giving your customers tools they are already familiar with makes them much more productive. How better to do that than providing tools from the vendors with the largest install base?
By showing our customers and prospects what we use under the hood, that it's the best solution money can buy, it feels less like a hazy cloud and more like a cloud they can trust.
Another way to look at it is this:
What infrastructure would you WANT if you were building a private cloud computing platform in-house? VMWare/Cisco/Netapp would more often than not show up at the top of the list. Depending on your size, after the budgeting discussion was over it may or may not still be at the top.
The main benefit of cloud computing shouldn't always be the "cheaper" argument. If that's the message your service provider is pitching, they are missing the point.
The real promise of cloud computing is providing the customer with the best service available (usually better than they could deliver in-house), delivered cost effectively (alright, cheaper). Better service for less money!
By the way. Our Microsoft Hosted Exchange service is also delivered on top of this infrastructure….

Gear Review
Good Shell Pant
I've got a pair of these in the iron gray (medium) and I really like the way they look. I'm pretty average size (5'10", 175 lb) and these pants fit great, not too tight but still with a little bit of a fitted look. As you'd expect with a pant called the vent, these are really pretty lightweight and if it's cold at all, you'll really want to layer up underneath. Still, thats what you sign up for when buying a light shell pant. Really nice pant overall.

Review quote
'Good old family cooking from the family that really does mean business. The Sopranos family cookbook is the essential guide to cooking the Italian way for goodfellas and notso goodfellas everywhere. Wonderful!' Mike Gayle 'Based on simply the best TV series ever, I would buy this and then wait to be invited to lots of Italian/American dinner parties' Bookseller, Top Books for Giving and Receiving this Christmas
Editorial reviews
To quote from a letter written by Anthony Soprano Jr, 'There is nothing on the planet better than food. Food always hits the spot.' The Neapolitan recipes in this companion volume to the popular television series certainly do that, but there is more to this book than food. Bobby Bacala speaks out about style tips for heavy eaters - if it doesn't make you cocky, don't wear it - while Junior gives his ten tips for living well and living long - enjoy the music of life while you still have ears. Artie Bucco, master chef of Nuovo Vesuvio, the cult series restaurant, introduces sections contributed by friends and family. We have Janice Soprano's memories of Sunday dinner: baked ziti, Livia's fried mushrooms, rib roast and manicotti. Is your mouth watering? Read on. Carmela's section includes instructions for making escarole and meatballs soup and ends with a wonderful recipe for pear and grappa pound cake. There are authentic tips for shopping and preparation, ideas for pasta, pizza, grills and poultry, seafood, salads and desserts, all with clear, simple explanations. It is a celebration of what Artie Bucco calls 'la cucina nostra', the Italian - American table. If the photographs of the men are a touch scary then follow their advice, learn the secrets of their cuisine and you will be one of them. As Paulie Walnuts, alias Peter Gualtieri, says, his mother taught him the glory and solace of food, and he honours her in passing on what she taught him. A perfect book for admirers of The Sopranos and all lovers of Italian food. (Kirkus UK)

DATE: Will be calculated from "Release
Start Date" field.
SÃO BERNARDO DO CAMPO, Brazil - Ken Block, superstar of the World Rally Championship and the Gymkhana series, one of the most successful videos on the internet, will present many novelties in 2013 driving the New Ford Fiesta. The attractions include an unprecedented performance in Brazil this season, in a place yet to be revealed, but one that the pilot anticipates being in one of the most beautiful regions in the world.
Ford continues to sponsor the team, which has big plans for this year. In addition to inaugurate new, revolutionary headquarters in Utah, USA, the pilot announced the team's name change from Monster World Rally to Hoonigan Race Division.
With over 1,100 square meters and an innovative concept, the new headquarters exudes creativity. Its facilities use 17 recycled containers to create flexible environments, separated into two wings. One of them, with a capacity for 25 employees, is home to the areas of creation, marketing and administration. The other houses a cutting-edge garage to care for the team cars.
"I wanted to avoid the lack of flexibility of ordinary buildings. Using recycled containers, besides being more sustainable, allows extensions and to carry everything on trucks if you need to change. Furthermore, it makes the space more creative with an amazing look", says Ken Block.
The project took two years to complete. The project took two years to complete. Its intention was to create a new standard installation for motor sports and at the same time, rival in creativity with major advertising agencies.
"I needed a space where the whole team, from marketing people to mechanics, could be inspired and enjoy the daily work. Thus, besides the common needs of an office, we wanted to ensure that the facility offers fun, such as a Ping-Pong table and a complete are of recreation area with a bar. Another requirement was that the garage had a feature to match those of the best teams in the World Rally Championship. I think we were able to achieve all these goals with the new headquarters".

Jessica Lynch was just 19 when the world first saw her — a broken, blond soldier caught on combat video in Iraq, her face wearing something between a grimace and a grin.
The Army supply clerk was being carried on a stretcher after nine days as a prisoner of war. She had been captured along with five others after the 507th Maintenance Company took a wrong turn and came under attack in Nasiriyah on March 23, 2003. Eleven of her fellow soldiers died.
Lynch had joined the Army at 18 to earn money for college and become a school teacher. This Friday, at 28, she completes that mission.
She'll spend Thursday finishing her training as a student teacher at the same elementary school she attended in sparsely populated Wirt County. Then, on badly damaged legs and a right foot that still pains her, she'll walk across a stage Friday evening and get her education degree from West Virginia University at Parkersburg.

'Never open a book with the weather' is one of Elmore Leonard's tips for great writing. Yet the weather seems to be a big topic of conversation at the moment. New Yorkers say, 'We don't seem to have spring any more. It goes straight from winter to summer.' Londoners say, 'We have a summer. It lasts two days at some point between April and October.' I heard one Angel Investor Investor recently extol the virtues of Hawaii as a place to set up shop, mainly because of the glorious climate. But does the weather affect our overall happiness?
Using a sample of over 1 million Americans from all 50 states over a 5 year period, Richard Lucas and Nicole Lawless set out to answer this question.
There's some quirky evidence about how the weather affects us. We're more likely to enroll in an academically rigorous college if we visit it on a cloudy day. Stock market returns are higher on sunny days than cloudy ones. Extreme heat is linked with more aggressive behavior. Intuitively this seems correct, but the evidence is mixed, in part because it may depend on how much time someone spends outside – if you're inside on a hot day, you're likely to be in a better mood. If you're outside on a cold day, you're likely to be in a worse mood.
Mood is one thing, life satisfaction is an altogether different and more important matter.
To discover the link, the researchers asked a simple question, 'In general, how satisfied are you with your life?'. They then collected weather data from a big government database focusing on climate across the US. In the analysis they also attempted to isolate daily weather affects from seasonal and regional differences so that surprisingly good or bad weather didn't skew the data. The researchers had a huge sample and so even small effects could be identified.
After all the number crunching was done, the counter-intuitive finding is that the weather did not affect life satisfaction. Temperature, rain, cloud cover, barometric pressure, wind speed and humidity had no affect.
So, if you're tempted to move to Hawaii or North Dakota because you're happier in the warmth or the cold, think again. It seems that we make our own sunshine.

skip hunt a reader here–greats photos/art:
The intense yawning was particularly strange. That has never happend before. It's a typical reaction when magic mushrooms begin to take effect in various phases of the experience, but the complete opposite happens with peyote. Some say peyote is "of the sun" and mushrooms are "of the moon".
With peyote, you sometimes feel ill if you haven't been careful to eliminate meat, alcohol, and various other toxins before you eat the cactus. And you get an incredible mental focus, much more visual detail, and an almost overwhelming level of energy. You don't yawn and drift away in the shade under a tree. So bizarre it happened this way.
Here's another bit for you. I've often seen things to come while in this area during the same sort of ritual. I'd say the visions of what's to come have been about 85% accurate. I don't have any control over it and it doesn't happen every time, but it's the primary reason I stopped smoking 3 years ago. I was shown a glimpse of my future if I continued to smoke beyond my 45th birthday and took heed.
I have also "traveled" or somehow been transported to someone who is sick and have gone within their body to remove what's causing the ailment. Again, I don't have any control of it and it doesn't even seem like it's me that's making the decision to heal and carrying it out. It's as if I'm some sort of conduit for it. For example, if someone I love was very sick, I'd be just as powerless to do anything about it as anyone else. It simply isn't my choice.
This has happened about 7 times now and each time the person was healed… or went into remission for a good while before passing. In one case, I told the man's daughter what I'd done expecting her to think I was a completely delusional lunatic. She didn't at all. She asked me if I knew the date that I did it. I told it the date of July 11th. She was silent for awhile and then answered that it was July 12th that the doctors came into her father's hospital room and said they didn't know how to explain it, but that all signs of the cancer were gone and that her father was miraculously in remission.
On this trip, I didn't know of anyone who was sick except for our neighbor's cat. I don't even like this cat. It sprays everything in our garage if I forget to shut the door, and it's very annoying with it's begging for food and incessant meowing. It's been very ill for a long time and my wife and I hadn't seen him for a good while before I left for Mexico 2 months ago. We figured he'd passed.
While I was on the trip, my wife said she'd seen him but he was now just skin and bones and his meow was pathetic. She volunteers at the local ASPCA animal shelter twice a week and is REALLY into animals. She said he was now surely gone.
In the desert this time, a couple days after the event described above, I thought of this cat and felt my lungs full and something malignant in my sides… as if I was now helping the cat. I drew up as much air as I could and kept forcing it out to try and clear out whatever this malignancy was inside this cat and coughed hard several times to expel it.
Afterward, I was thinking… "Wow Skip, you really have lost it now." and then I laughed to myself.
When I got home I asked about the cat and my wife said he was gone. She really loves animals and didn't want to talk about it. I asked, "Are you sure?" And she said most definitely, he'd spent all nine of his lives and was certainly gone. I figured, well, maybe it doesn't work on cats. Or, maybe my imagination had got the best of me this time.
When my wife leaves for work in the morning, I hand her the tumbler of coffee I've brewed for her and follow her out of the garage to get the paper. The morning after I get back, I open the garage door for my wife and in comes running into the garage… this cat! My wife looked disturbed and ran back into the house to open a can of wet cat food for him. She simply couldn't believe he was still around.
Here's a gallery containing a handful of the Olympus compact images I've just started to edit from this trip: http://www.kaleidoscopeofcolor.com/galleria/mexico-2011-summer/
Some seem to think this last posting is a work of fiction. It is not. However, I need to clarify that the 5-pointed star that I kicked the points off of was not created by me. It's a much older one created by another.
"Transported from Quemado" ~ Huiricuta, Mexico (c) 2011 Skip Hunt
It was going different this particular time. I was more sick in the stomach and the pain lasted nearly two hours.
Near the peace sign I've been building out of stone since 2009, about 30 meters away is another primitive design of a five-pointed star. It too is in stone and was really bothering and irritating me for some unknown reason. Perhaps because it looked like a pentagram? Or perhaps the peyote sickness was just warping my imagination.
I had been somewhat ill off and on for the previous three weeks or so and just asked Mescalito to heal me during this ceremonial session. Perhaps this healing is why I was feeling extra sick this time. There's a good reason why the indigenous call this plant "medicine". Sometimes healing hurts a bit I've found.
Another very strange effect this time was very intense yawning. That simply does not happen with this plant, at least for me it hasn't in the last 17 years I've imbibed it. Something was definitely different this time.
Just before this intense yawning started, the five-pointed stone star was bothering me so much and because my stomach had pain as if I were digesting broken glass, I forcefully kicked away the stones on two of the star's points. This didn't help at all and only increased my pain.
I looked up toward the sun boiling above and began to feel over-whelmed and dizzy.
There is a mesquite tree nearby so I smoothed away the dirt underneath the tree and brushed away most of the thorns and cactus spines so that I could lay down for awhile.
As I looked up through the thorny mesquite branches toward the blue sky and the sacred Huichole mountain called Quemado in the distance, I yawned hard one more time and then drifted away.
The next thing I knew was that I was no longer in my own body. Nor, was I in the desert in Mexico. All I could make out is that it was night and I was somewhere in Europe, possibly London. I had small, wire-frame glasses and whispy light brown hair. My body was taller and thinner than my own and my face was thinner and slightly gaunt. I was about the same age but maybe a little younger and I was either stumbling or trying to get away from something or someone. There was a large group yelling toward me and I was yelling back toward one particular woman. I can't remember what the words were but I was confused and sweating.
As I scrambled on the slick cobblestone, I stumbled a few times and then… just like that, I fell and was back in my own body again laying underneath the mesquite tree in the Huiricuta desert looking up through the thorny branches and leaves toward the sacred Quemado.
It felt like it lasted maybe a couple hours, but I looked at my watch and only ten minutes had passed.
All of my sickness was gone. And, I no longer felt the illness I'd had for the last three weeks. I felt perfectly healthy and so full of light energy.
I smiled as I lay there looking toward Quemado and realized in exactly one week I'd likely be home in Austin, Texas and it would be my birthday. I smiled again while I concentrated intently on the present feeling and experience to send ahead toward my future self in a week to remember the complete feeling as a birthday present.
When I got up out of the dirt and brushed away the dust and ants that were crawling on me, I felt compelled to go back to that five-pointed star and carefully put back the stones I'd kicked away.

Skip Hunt
Austin, Texas
What's strange is that everyone I met in Nuevo Laredo & on the bus going there, were saying the same things.
However, on recent previous trips to Mexico I was hearing the same sorts of reports from locals. But not one of them could could claim to have seen any of it first hand. Not one. They all just reference the news. I have yet to find a single person who had seen this level of violence first hand or knew anyone who had. The U.S. Officer I talked with claimed she had but I also got the impression she didn't like the fact I was telling her it's not as bad as it looks on the news. I think she might have lied about first hand knowledge to counter my argument.
So, do you think it's all made up? I heard horrible things about Michoacan too. From people there and near there. But I saw nothing but some of the nicest & most hospitable folks in all of Mexico.
Of course I don't live there so I'm not an expert, but you know I've been all over the country several times and recently. I've traveled extensively in Mexico via bus, motorcycle, train & plane, but have never witnessed ANY of the reported problems at all. All I see is military at the border.
What do you think is really going on?
If the problem was as bad as the U.S. border official was saying or reported on the news, it seems bizarre there would only be a military presence on only one side of the border. If "they" the cartels really wanted border territory control, why not just take it on the U.S. side too? There's not there keeping them from it but a chain fence & a few dozen border patrol folks with nothing but side arms & shotguns.
Do you think this is all manufactured to create fear? Or, do you think it's based on some reality but simply exaggerated a bit?
If the situation truly warrants a heavy Mexican military presence, why wouldn't there be an equal military presence on the other side of the shallow border river & flimsy fence?
Something just doesnt add up.
Dashus, I'm still not quite sure what to think. I didn't see any gang or cartel activity. The Mexican military guys had a MUCH colder demeanor & there were more heavy-duty combat vehicals that looked even more modern than Hummers with really big machine guns mounted on top and all manned by cold looking soldiers with mirrored sun glasses watchin every move.
They tell me the cartels are actually even better armed with more sophisticated weapons. And now they've graduated to lobbing grenades as well?
The only thing that separates the U.S. from that is a shallow river, a fence & U.S. Officials with only side arms & shot guns. Call me crazy, but that sounds like a situation that could potentially get much worse very quickly.
Again, I saw no violence personally… But the RAW fear in the air was palpable.
Just plain ol stupid I guess. Or, determined to do my best to live and be free of fear. :)
Yea Skip-You had us goin a bit-I'm glad you got back ok!
The US Govt will always create division to avoid unity and solidarity. That's when things start to turn and it scares the shit out of the US.
Glad you made it safely. My stupidest young gun, "knows it all" move was hitchhiking from Tunisia to Morocco through Algeria (early 90's). Didn't make it through Algeria… :(
I was YOUNG, what's your excuse! BE SAFE!!!
Welcome back to the Land of the Lost…
Thank you! That's exactly what I'm hoping to do starting with you art museum. :)
Made it over the border & on a bus headed for Austin. Tuns out it was even more dangerous than I thought. The U.S. Customs officer told me that not only are innocent people getting shot in the crossfire of machine gun fire between 3 different cartels & the military… All fighting to claim territory, but she said they are now throwing grenades into the street as well. She said the area I just walked through was the most dangerous.
One other thing I found disturbing was that every single one of the officials on the U.S. side were Hispanic. Hearing Hispanic-American border officials refer to their Mexican brothers & sisters as "those people" really didn't sit well. How did they manage to turn people with nearly the exact same heritage and family trees against each other?
Hope you enjoyed the work. :) I'm not beaten yet. Will try again.
Thanks Dashus. It was a project funding that failed. Not art sales. I will regroup and try again at some point with what I've learned thus time.
I 'd hoped things would have been better w/ your art sales,I love your work so much!-Enjoy A Very Happy B-DAY Skip, keep taking care and posting.
jesus man! you need to do some art shows. some exhibits you have enough stuff
sorry skip- i do not have money to back you. Times are tough. but i love your work and hope you have a happy birhtday. Have fun and be safe. Do you have a date to share it with?. hope you do- your the best.
Thanks Moon Shadow :)
I'm dragging my feet before walking to the border. I don't want to admit it, but I'm slightly scared this time for some reason.
I wanted R to retweet my promos but didn't want to become annoying since she disks say she wanted to buy some of my work & will show my work in her museum. So, I figured best to keep the self promo to a minimum since it's her blog and all. :)
Thanks again for the support. And, I just remembered I bought a bottle of Mezcal in Oaxaca and stuffed it in the bottom of my pack. If it ain't broke, might be nice to have a bit on my birthday!
Off to the border, wish me luck!
Just got the email notice. That's fucked Skip. Why don't they just GIVE you the fucking money that people WANTED to give you.
Capitalist bullshit. Trying to teach you to raise A LOT of money, or else it's all fucked. You should be rewarded for raising ANY money!!
If you try again, see if Roseanne will tweet the link. Good luck getting back home and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Have a few shots of tequila (on me)… ;)
I'm sad to announce that my Kickstarter creative project failed to reach it's goal and is now officially cancelled.
I posted a photo and a link to an audio phone blog with some final thoughts about it.
I will not give up, but first I need to get past the cartel thieves and over the border without getting shot. Tomorrow Aug 17th is my birthday & I intend on making it home & celebrating with a nice glass of wine. :)

Likewise C. Michael Ward! :)
Just made it to Matehuala late last night… several hours later than I'd hoped & had to get a room. I'm heading to the desert this morning where I won't have Internet access.
Managed to add a new post to my blog from one of the bus stations & will try to update again before I'm cut off. If you feel I've earned your support, please take advantage of one of the creative award incentives before August 14 so that my project will be funded and live. :)
It is ok skip- i have talked to you before and i thought you knew my name was chris and that is what the C stands for. I love your work and i want to meet you in person if your ever in the Columbus Ohio Area.
Love Chris Michael Ward
Just added update #21 "Sonrisa de Caletilla" to my Kickstarter creative project "Off The Deep End" as a non-exclusive public post.
ps. For your pleasure, I have been adding these square-cropped iPhone shot/edited images to this zapd collection as I move along on this trip: http://offthedeepend.zapd.net/
Excellent! I guess I'll need to get in touch with someone regarding a date & details about the space. Chat when I get home?
Do you want me to just select some stuff, or would you like to help me curate it?
After Guanajuato in a couple days or so I'll be going offline in the desert again while I put more stones on that big peace sign I started in 2009. No connectivity out there but I may take the bus to the nearest town to check email & update my blog.
Hey, I'm not sure if they so this, but maybe I can have a collection printed with archival inks onto silk. Then I could just roll them up and display then like tapestry? Will look into feasibility.
Exciting! :)
Everything uploaded to the blogs was created and edited on an iPhone. But, I'm also shooting a regular camera as well. When the trip is over, I'll be going through and editing the best stuff and in higher resolution/quality.
If the project makes it's goal & gets funded, I'll be putting together a best of photo book and a completely new gallery of images from the better camera for backers to choose from. The iPhone stuff is mostly because it's easier to edit & upload from the road. :)
i will show your stuff at my museum, but you have to do the work and bring it–
Oh, Yes of course! I'm still traveling and in Morelia now. Leaving for Guanajuato tomorrow. Should be back in Austin, Texas by August 17th (my birthday). I would love for you to own my work & maybe even a spot on the wall of your museum. :)
The contact info on my sites kaleidoscopeofcolor.com & skiphuntphotography.com is my email address and the phone number normally goes to my cell, but I have it going to my Google Voice number while I'm traveling. I basically leave my iPhone in airplane mode while I'm here because the Mexican cell phone rates are obscenely high especially for data transfer. I use free wifi when I can find it to do the blogging.
ok–but—again—can i buy some of your photos? can i contact you?
Oh I didn't realize you had posted photos already. Just took a look at them. Oh man, they are fantastic. Let me go see what's in the Piggy Bank. I'm very tempted to break it open!
I do get that, but folks get to select whichever they want and what I've shown so far is only a taste via iPhone. I've read that many people paid $150 to attend Charlie Sheen sitting on a stage "winning" and others have paid to be in the same room with dear "Snooki". I would hope at least more than a few would find some value in an earnest attempt to wake up from zombieland. :)
Hi, sorry. Got discouraged and started to whine a bit.
I think many get lulled into the daily routine, the bad news, the commute, the grind… to the point that they no longer remember to experience their lives fully. Happens to me as well.
What I've found is that when I break out of that routine and comfort zone, forcing myself to deal with fresh and foreign experience through travel without itinerary, I begin to wake up. Details I hadn't noticed before present themselves anew and everything I experience feels more alive. I feel more alive and fully experiencing all of the incredible variants in sound, color, texture, thought and emotion.
What I'm trying to do is communicate that experience through images, writing about it, audio &?video clips and general musings along the way. Many have told me that after they've followed along on one of these excursions, they begin to notice things they hadn't noticed before or are inspired to dive into their own life's experience.
I know you can also wake yourself up by shifting your perspective in thought via quiet meditation, walking your dog, working in the garden or a trip to your local library or art gallery. I'm just doing "it" more in the extreme through travel in order to capture more dramatic images and drive the point home more vividly.
The Kickstarter project is just my latest attempt to get my costs covered, provide incentives like fine prints, books, etc. and maybe have a bit left over for another adventure.
Hey Skip, If I could, I'd make a purchase. 6 months ago my income went from 70k to 20k due to giving up my job to live with an aging parent. I think more people would purchase from you if they weren't having to pinch pennies these days. And 1 other thought …. people will receive a photo from your current journey. Well, they are paying before getting to see the photos right? Some of your photos I've seen are pure brilliance. Even though you are very talented, personally, I like to see what I'm buying before I pay. Maybe others are feeling the same way? Best wishes, have a great journey!
what r u trying to do? i would like to buy some of your work but i dont know how–you never follow up with me to do that–lets talk–
I'm sorry Chris. I was standing outside a cafe that had just closed and was trying to get off as many "thank you's" that I could before they cut off the wifi and before I had to dash to catch my bus.
I'm beginning to feel like a hopeless fool with these road trip dispatch attempts to get funding. I've done my very best but it's beginning to become painfully clear that many don't support my efforts beyond the committment of an occassional "atta boy" or click of a "like" button. Beyond that, it appears most are indifferent. I don't regret giving it my all and not giving up, but I am starting to regret not seeing the cold hard truth much sooner.
The fat lady hasn't sung yet, but I can hear her warming up. I'm going to stick it out until the bitter end, but I'm thinking this may be my last attempt. The tribe had spoken and they evidently aren't diggin what I do as much as I'd hoped.
Here's a fresh audio phone blog I just uploaded if anyone is interested: kck.st/ofnPcK
Please call me Chris or C. Michael-thanks.
your very welcome
Hey Nancy, I think I know that place. I like to swim near there. Heading to a very remote place in Michoacan if I can find it. Thanks for the yogurt tip! :)
Will do Michael, thanks :)
Thanks Moon Shadow!!! On my way to try to find a place called Caletilla. Will be going offline for a bit but back soon. :)
Thanks Tina! My pleasure.
Thank you so much for the love R! :)
Hi Roseanne, I have been to Mexico many times, My aunt lived in an artist colony there.
Dysentery. go to the kitchen of the best hotel get a large bowl of Yogurt eat it. you will recover fast.
When my friends and I traveled to Port au Viorta many times there was this restaurant down the coast kitchen was in the side of a stone cliff(who knows what lived in there). The tables were on an outcropping of stones right out into the water, fabulous. The food was so delicious we ate until we couldn't take another bite. Every night we got dysentery ate our bowl of yogurt felt better fast and back again the next night.
Have fun.
very good work and i have enjoyed all of the work you have posted on here, or linked on here.
keep it up my man.
Aloha Skip. Sent a little to kokua (help) on your journey…
Stunning as always. You are a very talented writer as well. A really beautiful combination, the pics & text, all from your perspective.
Hope you're feeling better by now… if not, try crushing some papaya seeds. You can put on food, with a peppery flavor, and good for digestion.
You are inspiring. The reality of the day-to-day for you is not lost on me. Getting the shits doesn't help either. :)
Thanks Skip for sharing your amazing art with us :)

A Brief History of the Urban Design Program
The Urban Design Program at Columbia originated in 1935, when the Carnegie Corporation funded a postgraduate curriculum in order to "enlarge the range of studies offered to architects" within the fields of urbanism and housing. These goals remain central to the program today. The original experiment was dominated by the personages of Henry Wright, Werner Hegemann, and Carol Aronovici. Their focus was on the social and physical form of the emerging twentieth-century metropolis, with considerable influence from the English experience of the previous several decades.
The present Urban Planning Program also evolved from these beginnings, with some ambiguity between urban "design" and "planning." By the 1960's, however, both disciplines had aquired distinct identities. A separate Master of Science for Urban Design was initiated in the 1964-1965 school year with Percival Goodman as a prime pedagogic force. During this time, the program was influenced by the cultural critique of the Team Ten group in Europe within the framework of the growing problems associated with urban "renewal" and urban dispersal in the United States. Between 1972 and 1974, the program was restructured under the directorship of Romaldo Giurgola, and then again in 1974 under Alexander Cooper, a member of the New York City Planning Commission. With the involvement of Stanton Eckstut, the program was heavily refocused on Urban Design practice, as it had evolved in New York City during the Lindsay administration. This approach held until the early 1990's, when the present curriculum was initiated. The Urban Design Program now engages the urban consequences of the same period that witnessed its formation.

A participant in over 100 duels, Andrew Jackson was never one to back down from a fight. Especially when the honor of his wife, Rachel, was called into question. Rachel dies suddenly under the stress caused from accusations of bigamy. Jackson vows to never forgive her accusers, wiping them out one by one in what looks like a series of isolated accidents.
Always the ladies man, Johnson kept a rotating roster of secret girlfriends. With the help of the Secret Service, he carried on affairs right under his wife's nose. Using his charm and presidential status to bed women is second nature for LBJ, who hops from one lover to the next. As he grows older, these relationships change and his public image suffers as a result of the Vietnam War. This causes Johnson to end his presidency and question his empty existence.

Last week, Walter Kirn — whose 2001 book Up in the Air inspired the Best Picture–nominated film — complained on Twitter and to Vulture about not getting a ticket to March 7's Academy Awards. And now he has one! In a (subsequently deleted) tweet on Friday, the author thanked Paramount "for coming through with Oscar tickets and proving true to its word, which I shouldn't have doubted." We're glad we could help! There's less than two weeks till the Oscars, so Lynn Barber, Michael Lewis, and Sapphire (whose writing provided the bases for An Education, The Blind Side, and Precious, respectively) should probably get in touch with us quick, unless they want to watch from home.

The week started off with a bang yesterday as National Bosses Day was celebrated in offices and cubicles throughout the country. While the day itself is celebrated on October 16th, in the event of falling on a weekend the holiday gets bumped to the next working day, hence Oct. 17th.
When it comes to any day that celebrates your boss, you're either for it and ready to go all out or quietly hoping that you don't have to take the time to celebrate a less than ideal employer. The Kansas City Business Journal reported that 59 percent of Americans polled by Adecco Group do like their bosses and wouldn't change them. Whether you're in the 59 percent or the 41 percent or don't have an opinion either way, one thing we can agree on is that we like fictional TV bosses. The only problem I discovered with so many of these bosses I researched? The vast majority, even today, even on networks like HBO, are still men. Finding a solid list of 25 TV guy bosses takes all of five minutes, but doing the same thing for women is incredibly difficult. And it really shouldn't be either.
In our boss lady category, I found five women who fit the bill and beyond that, have the characteristics that we all aspire to have. From confident sex appeal to eternal optimism and yes, even some occasional nerdiness, these are our bosses. And I think we agree 100 percent that we love 'em.
Miranda Bailey: Tough Love
I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up. I already hate you, that's not going to change.
Despite her petite frame, Grey's Anatomy resident surgeon Miranda (played by Chandra Wilson) is notorious for her nickname at Seattle Grace – Mercy West Hospital of being "The Nazi." She puts rule number one into immediate effect by dismissing Izzie Stevens attempt to introduce herself and reminds her interns often that in addition to never waking her up while sleeping, they are at the bottom of the food chain in their position.
Intimating? Yes. Honest and caring? Also a yes. Despite her bluntness with the interns, Miranda is a great surgeon and fully devoted to her career and patients. Her tough love approach dispenses advice when it's needed but with a real world edge that resonates with all those who are lucky enough to get it.
Liz Lemon: Geek Chic
Quit whining and NUT UP. You're right. If you can't do this, you ARE a failure. Josh can do this, and earlier today he ate a club sandwich with the toothpick still in it. Jenna can do this, and she was once engaged to David Blaine. Any dumb-dumb can act, Jack. So be a man and get it done.
We all feel like Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) from 30 Rock at some point in our lives. Even college students feel like Liz from time to time. She's just that relatable. As the head writer for TGS with Tracy Jordan, Liz looks on the surface like she has the ideal job and lifestyle. Writing comedy as a woman in a male-dominated industry and living it up as a single woman in a Manhattan apartment.
The reality of it is that her staff is lazy and unreliable, her singlehood is the topic of conversation with everyone from her boss to strangers, and Liz would rather spend a night in eating cheese while wearing a Snuggie. And we like that about her. Liz is aware of her faults and does work to improve them, but her efforts are shown in a realistic way.
After being called the "c-word" by one of her employees, Liz attempts to rid herself of that image by overdosing kindness on her staff. Her kindness is taken advantage of to the point where she has to stay up all night rewriting a script by herself. Aided with some choice quotes from a Designing Women marathon she watched, Liz puts her staff in line the next morning by giving them a much-needed wake up call.
To sum it up, Liz herself describes her own self perfectly in a quote, "Because I'm not just feminine, I can project my power."

The tacos and enchiladas at least are about as close to LA style Mexican food as you can get in Manhattan; simple and good.

The closest thing to authentic Mexican food in the UES. and the best bang for your buck. I highly recommend their tortas.

(Memphis) Valore Granger-Cathey walks with a new purpose in life.
"I can not describe the joy, the freedom my soul has. I am not just surviving today, I am living."
Valore's life now is a stark contrast to world she was born into in Chicago.
"My mom was an alcoholic and my dad was an addict."
Things only got worse when her father walked out of her life.
"My mom continued to be an alcoholic. It was a lot of domestic violence in the family and I ended up getting raped by her(mother's) boyfriend."
Her mom later abandoned her and left her with a person who was supposed to be a friend..
"The woman she left me with was child abusing me. I would have bruises. She attempted to cut my finger and kept me in a captivity for three months at a time."
Valore was scarred in more ways than one. By the time she got to be 13 she started drinking, smoking pot and she turned to cocaine.
"So, that's when it really started going down hill when I started snorting cocaine and hooking up drug guys."
Valore didn't know she had a problem.
"I thought that's how you live getting high and living in the fast life."
The fast life led to becoming a teenage mother who did what she could to feed her children.
"Uh, prostitution, selling drugs and making runs for people, whatever means necessary."
But Valore said her life reached its lowest point when she went to the city of Atlanta and almost died in a hospital.
"I almost came close to death cause I ended up having cardiac arrest with my second daughter and they had to bring me back."
That near death experience was a wake up call.
"Ever since then I've been trying to get my life together. After that incident I received by GED. I've had some college education."
But she wanted more out of life and one day showed up at the front door of the Salvation Army's Renewal Place asking for help on a stormy day in Memphis.
"She(case worker) said "you walked here and I said yes and she said you want this don't you? I said yes."
She said she did it for her daughter.
"She deserves a better mother and I know this wasn't what God wanted me to."
The Renewal Place program put her on a path to sobriety, being a better parent and finding employment.
"Some days I just cry and hug them and say thank you for saving my life."

Dumervil, Ravens marriage is working out well
Dumervil: Ravens stayed composed in overtime
The acquisition of Elvis Dumervil has worked out very well for the Ravens.
Every season, we see NFL free agent acquisitions that are busts. Like safety Michael Huff and defensive lineman Marcus Spears - free agents the Ravens signed who have already been released. However, Dumervil has been exactly what the Ravens expected. Maybe more than they expected. He has eight sacks in nine games, coming off his best performance of the season Sunday against the Bengals. Dumervil had 2½ sacks and spent much of the afternoon knocking around quarterback Andy Dalton. Meanwhile, Dumervil's quiet but strong personality has fit in smoothly in the Ravens' locker room.
Dumervil is getting crucial sacks, not just those that pad statistics. He has the speed to beat tackles around the edge, but he also has the power to bull rush effectively. Dumervil's last sack came in the waning moments of the fourth quarter, before the shocking Hail Mary pass from Dalton to A. J. Green that sent the game into overtime. Fortunately for the Ravens, they prevailed, and Dumervil's performance was not wasted.
"The guys were frustrated on that play, and give (Cincinnati) credit because they made it," Dumervil said. "But one thing we did was we regrouped as a defense and went out and answered the call."
Dumervil loves playing outside linebacker opposite Terrell Suggs, who leads the Ravens with nine sacks. Suggs' versatility makes the duo even more difficult for opponents to handle.
"It's good when you have a Defensive Player of the Year like Suggs that can move around," Dumervil said. "So to be able to flip like that, give him credit. Not all pass rushers can flip like that, and for me to be able to feed off that is great."
At age 29, Dumervil figures to have more good years left. However, with seven games remaining, this season has already been a good one for Dumervil.
