How Musician Kishi Bashi Balances Classical With Experimental
For his new album, K Ishibashi may have already gotten the best stamp of approval possible. "I like this better than the last one," his eight-year-old daughter told him of "Lighght," his second album as Kishi Bashi, out May 13 on Joyful Noise.
The album and 2012′s "151a" have a whimsical quality, both lyrically and musically, and he also makes music by creating loops, a complex technique. To him, children can be a good barometer for music. "They're so pure, they just love music," he says. "There's no reservations, they're not jaded. They just like to dance and they like to sing, so I perform a lot in front of kids when I have the opportunity."
Ishibashi, a self-described "geeky violin kid" who began playing at age seven and attended Berklee College of Music, talked with Speakeasy about the album, which he says is inspired by composers such as Tchaikovsky and Mozart, and prog bands like Electric Light Orchestra and Pink Floyd.
How has your songwriting process changed from album to album?
The musical process is in general the same. It's me coming up with lots of ideas. There wasn't a real concept behind it except that I wanted it to be a bit more hi-fi. I'm still home recording, but I definitely wanted to feature a lot of musicianship. My first album was, in my head, pure pop, somewhat experimental but definitely stripped down – not stripped down, but simple. I tried to focus on bringing back good, old fashioned musicianship and try to showcase some that around songs. I tried to write some more sophisticated songs harmonically, and then lyrically try to take it a step further by incorporating poetry and larger ideas than just sounds and words.
Do you write and perform everything?
Oh yeah, I'm a solo artist. I record everything. I don't have a band really. I spend a lot of time at home alone in front of my computer with microphones. I can't play drums so I had my friend record, but I write everything by myself.
How do you manage all these musical ideas?
Sometimes I can't manage it. My approach towards creating these songs is that I layer as much as possible, I try to put as many ideas as I can. I just layer and layer and layer. And then I mix the album with an engineer. So I keep in mind I won't be able to manage mixing this later, at that point I start muting things and taking things away, so that basically each section has a new sonic idea, something new happens. I think that's what keeps it interesting even though its rooted around song. Then I make sure it doesn't conflict with the general idea of the song, the message and melodies I feel are important.
Which generally comes first for you: Music or lyrics?
In my case, which I've heard is not the case for some people, I hear music first, always. I hear a sound and then words are inspired by the sound and then from that I create a story and connect the words into a story. Or if I choose a poetic way, it's more of a general idea. It's always music first, and it's more like the sound of the words are like an instrument to me.
Tell us about the title of the album, "Lighght."
It's a poem by the minimalist poet Aram Saroyan. He wrote it in 1965. It's a one-word poem and it broke a lot of conventions in that it's a word that you could read, but also the pronunciation is the same. The feeling that it evokes/provokes is something that is larger than what it is. It's like the idea of breaking classical conventions, literary forms, and having fun but maintaining the beauty of it. I could totally relate to the idea behind this poem. Being a classical musician and ultimately trying to keep the legacy of songwriting, I still feel myself very experimental and trying new things as far as sound is concerned.
Your music has a very joyful quality. Is that just who you are as a person?
No. I mean, I'm not depressed that much, but I think a lot of what I try and create with this Kishi Bashi project is that when I make this music and am inspired by it, I go with the textures and sounds that uplift myself. To some extent I'm like, "My fans are gonna like this." I don't try to let that dictate where I'm going with it but I like making upbeat music. There's a lot of depressing music out there and I feel like if there's one thing I can do to contribute to someone's day, to the world, I feel like I found something that I'm pretty good at and I enjoy doing it.

You've probably heard that seatbelts save lives, but you may not realize they can save you money as well. That is, if you're stopped during next week's Click It or Ticket campaign.
Law enforcement officials all over the nation, from local police departments to the state highway patrol will be watching to see whether or not you're buckled-up this holiday season.
"It doesn't matter whether you're in the city or in the county or wherever. This emphasis is strong," said Capt. Tommy Miller of the Meridian Police department. "We want you to arrive safely. State law says buckle up."
Click It or Ticket has been successful at promoting drivers to wear safety belts in the past and officers are expecting that trend to continue.
"We know that seat belts save lives," said Maj. Ward Calhoun of the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department, "and we'll be out there watching to make sure you're buckled up."

FlySketch is a simple drawing tool for apps that don't have that built in, and a screenshot grabber and screen annotator with useful workflow features.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: draw , image , screenshot
3 Opinions
Flysketch has many competitors out there. Some are free and good like SnapNDrag... none are as enjoyable to use. It's a little pricey. But it is absolutely superb at annotating screenshots and then sending them to whatever app or destination you choose. I wish it had scaling, something SnapNDrag does with it's partner EasyCrop.
As a web developer FlySketch is essential. I can easily take a snapshot of screen I'm working on for a client, highlight and label parts of interest and mail it off to the client. It's often much easier to communicate something with an annotated screenshot than with a long email. It saves you having to type the thousand words.
Imagine that you are the friend other friends call to fix their computers. Imagine you would likely to quickly vandalize common screenshots. This app makes both options far easier, and is quite useful.

South Carolina is scoring poorly on its job growth. A new report ranks the Palmetto State 50th in the nation. News 12 is on your side with how it could impact your job hunt.
It's a Thursday afternoon at Aiken's Workforce Center. Ellis Dehavan has a few leads on welding jobs.
"I may have to drive to Columbia everyday," Dehavan said.
Inside, Edwina Bing looks for listings online.
"I really want a job but I really want to drive trucks so hopefully I'll find something," Bing said.
It's a positive outlook on a job market getting not so positive reviews. A new report says South Carolina's job growth ranks 50th in the nation, recently have lost thousands of manufacturing jobs with some layoffs hitting too close to home in Aiken County. Avondale Mills cut 300 jobs and SRS is letting go of 2,000. It's where Edwina's gotten her paycheck from for the last 12 months.
"I was an LSE laborer. It's like whatever they wanted me to do, I was there to do it," Bing said.
But interim director of the Chamber of Commerce Cindy Senkowsky sees a silver lining in the dark unemployment cloud. She's spoken with former SRS employees now looking to start up businesses.
"They come in, they get business counseling, they learn how to start a business starting with a business plan," Senkowsky said.
A plan Ellis hopes he can structure for himself – McCook Steel only temporary – his line of work, he says, is season and unsteady.
"We sort of got close to being done and they let a few of us go," Dehavan said.
"I just want something permanent because they last couple of jobs were temporary," Bing said.
For now, they're left tackling a tough job market one application at a time.
The state of Georgia ranked 47th, not much better than South Carolina. While none of its major cities saw significant job growth, Augusta is one of five metropolitan areas that has suffered some job losses. Also, Atlanta employment levels could change due to its largest private employer, Delta Airlines, going bankrupt.

"Mom, does Santa really exist?" I asked, looking over at her in the back seat of my grandparents' black Toyota Avalon. I was 6 years old, and visiting my family in New Jersey over my two week holiday break. In the 9 years since then, I've lost memory of where we were going, but I'll never forget my mom's answer: "He's real if you believe in him."
Believe it or not, those words had a profound impact on the way I viewed Christmas. As a young child, my Indian immigrant parents had promoted Santa Claus in an attempt to give me a completely American childhood. They helped me put milk and cookies by the fireplace every year to await the arrival of Santa and his reindeer. For more than half a decade I believed it. I even remember taking special care to use my fanciest cursive to impress Santa when I wrote my letter to the North Pole at the age of 5. But by the time I entered first grade, the prospect of an overweight gentleman stuffing himself and his bulging sack of toys into our two-foot wide fireplace to deliver one of millions of presents in a single night seemed a little far-fetched.
Perhaps that's why, when my mom gave me the classic "Yes, Virginia" answer to the inevitable "Santa question," I decided to stop believing in him altogether. As a 6 year old, it was sort of like becoming an atheist in a world obsessed with "holiday gods." My disbelief of Santa quickly spread to the Easter Bunny, leprechauns, and the Tooth Fairy. Looking back, I'm glad I made the choice as early as I did.
Over the years, fictional holiday characters like Santa Claus have come to control the very fundamentals of our celebrations. As Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter have become more and more commercialized, Santa and the Easter Bunny have been exploited by large companies to star in prime time advertisements, pose on toy boxes and take pictures in thousands of malls across the country. The meaning of holidays has been lost in the growing materialism.
For adults, its seems the holidays are simply an excuse to splurge on cookies and eggnog; and for kids, they present an opportunity to ask for expensive toys and gadgets that their parents wouldn't dream of purchasing in the middle of August.
Young people have lost touch with what the holiday season truly symbolizes. I was struck by this fact when my English class began reading Charles Dickens' 1843 novel, "A Christmas Carol." In the first chapter, Scrooge's nephew defends the value of Christmas, exclaiming, "And, therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that (Christmas) has done me good and will do me good."
For today's average American, this statement couldn't be less true. Christmas has evolved from being "a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time" to being a time of material greed. We have all become Scrooges. A "good" Christmas is not one in which people "open their shut-up hearts freely, and ... think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave," but one in which stockings are stuffed to the brim with candy canes and cash.
When I ditched Santa Claus, my holidays got a whole lot happier. I was no longer being deluded by a false belief in something that simply couldn't be real. As the years pass by, I find that the holidays are a lot more enjoyable when you're not expecting something. Some of my most memorable Christmases have been when I simply went back east to spend time with my grandparents, or had tea with my family in the only open coffee shop in Palo Alto.
The time I enjoy most is the time I get to spend with other people -- not twiddling with new gadgets or examining a bounty of gifts. This way, I know I'll never be disappointed and, once in a while, when a surprise does come my way, I can be all the more thankful for it.

Read the Microsoft Memos from Nadella and Ballmer
As expected, Microsoft veteran Satya Nadella has taken over as the company's third chief executive in its 39-year history. As Steve Ballmer hands him the keys to the tech giant, a big question is which direction Nadella will take the company to reverse years of waning influence.
In his email to staff this morning, Nadella makes it clear that he will carry forward Ballmer's strategy of transforming Microsoft into a devices and services company, rather than simply a software power.
We are the only ones who can harness the power of software and deliver it through devices and services that truly empower every individual and every organization. We are the only company with history and continued focus in building platforms and ecosystems that create broad opportunity.
Ballmer, meanwhile, signed off for the final time as CEO with a memo of his own to staff — though he'll remain lurking behind Nadella for the time being as a board director.
You can read both of the memos below. Plus watch a company interview with Nadella and a welcome message from Bill Gates, Microsoft's first CEO who is stepping down as chairman and shifting into a new role as technology advisor.
From: Satya Nadella
To: All Employees
Date: Feb. 4, 2014
Subject: RE: Satya Nadella – Microsoft's New CEO
Today is a very humbling day for me. It reminds me of my very first day at Microsoft, 22 years ago. Like you, I had a choice about where to come to work. I came here because I believed Microsoft was the best company in the world. I saw then how clearly we empower people to do magical things with our creations and ultimately make the world a better place. I knew there was no better company to join if I wanted to make a difference. This is the very same inspiration that continues to drive me today.
It is an incredible honor for me to lead and serve this great company of ours. Steve and Bill have taken it from an idea to one of the greatest and most universally admired companies in the world. I've been fortunate to work closely with both Bill and Steve in my different roles at Microsoft, and as I step in as CEO, I've asked Bill to devote additional time to the company, focused on technology and products. I'm also looking forward to working with John Thompson as our new Chairman of the Board.
While we have seen great success, we are hungry to do more. Our industry does not respect tradition — it only respects innovation. This is a critical time for the industry and for Microsoft. Make no mistake, we are headed for greater places — as technology evolves and we evolve with and ahead of it. Our job is to ensure that Microsoft thrives in a mobile and cloud-first world.
As we start a new phase of our journey together, I wanted to share some background on myself and what inspires and motivates me.
Who am I?
I am 46. I've been married for 22 years and we have 3 kids. And like anyone else, a lot of what I do and how I think has been shaped by my family and my overall life experiences. Many who know me say I am also defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning. I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete. I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things. So family, curiosity and hunger for knowledge all define me.
Why am I here?
I am here for the same reason I think most people join Microsoft — to change the world through technology that empowers people to do amazing things. I know it can sound hyperbolic — and yet it's true. We have done it, we're doing it today, and we are the team that will do it again.
I believe over the next decade computing will become even more ubiquitous and intelligence will become ambient. The coevolution of software and new hardware form factors will intermediate and digitize — many of the things we do and experience in business, life and our world. This will be made possible by an ever-growing network of connected devices, incredible computing capacity from the cloud, insights from big data, and intelligence from machine learning.
This is a software-powered world.
It will better connect us to our friends and families and help us see, express, and share our world in ways never before possible. It will enable businesses to engage customers in more meaningful ways.
I am here because we have unparalleled capability to make an impact.
Why are we here?
In our early history, our mission was about the PC on every desk and home, a goal we have mostly achieved in the developed world. Today we're focused on a broader range of devices. While the deal is not yet complete, we will welcome to our family Nokia devices and services and the new mobile capabilities they bring us.
As we look forward, we must zero in on what Microsoft can uniquely contribute to the world. The opportunity ahead will require us to reimagine a lot of what we have done in the past for a mobile and cloud-first world, and do new things.
We are the only ones who can harness the power of software and deliver it through devices and services that truly empower every individual and every organization. We are the only company with history and continued focus in building platforms and ecosystems that create broad opportunity.
Qi Lu captured it well in a recent meeting when he said that Microsoft uniquely empowers people to "do more." This doesn't mean that we need to do more things, but that the work we do empowers the world to do more of what they care about — get stuff done, have fun, communicate and accomplish great things. This is the core of who we are, and driving this core value in all that we do — be it the cloud or device experiences — is why we are here.
What do we do next?
To paraphrase a quote from Oscar Wilde — we need to believe in the impossible and remove the improbable.
This starts with clarity of purpose and sense of mission that will lead us to imagine the impossible and deliver it. We need to prioritize innovation that is centered on our core value of empowering users and organizations to "do more." We have picked a set of high-value activities as part of our One Microsoft strategy. And with every service and device launch going forward we need to bring more innovation to bear around these scenarios.
Next, every one of us needs to do our best work, lead and help drive cultural change. We sometimes underestimate what we each can do to make things happen and overestimate what others need to do to move us forward. We must change this.
Finally, I truly believe that each of us must find meaning in our work. The best work happens when you know that it's not just work, but something that will improve other people's lives. This is the opportunity that drives each of us at this company.
Many companies aspire to change the world. But very few have all the elements required: talent, resources, and perseverance. Microsoft has proven that it has all three in abundance. And as the new CEO, I can't ask for a better foundation.
Let's build on this foundation together.
From: Steve Ballmer
To: All Employees
Date: Feb. 4, 2014
Subject: Satya Nadella – Microsoft's New CEO
Today is an incredibly exciting day as we announce Satya Nadella as the new CEO of Microsoft. Satya will be a great CEO, and I am pumped for the future of Microsoft. You can read the full announcement here.
Satya is a proven leader. He's got strong technical skills and great business insights. He has a remarkable ability to see what's going on in the market, to sense opportunity, and to really understand how we come together at Microsoft to execute against those opportunities in a collaborative way. I have worked closely with Satya for many years and I have seen these skills many times. He is not alone, though. Our Senior Leadership Team has never been stronger, and together this group will drive us forward.
Microsoft is one of the great companies in the world. I love this company. I love the bigness and boldness of what we do. I love the way we partner with other companies to come together to change the world. I love the breadth and the diversity of all of the customers we empower, from students in the classroom to consumers to small businesses to governments to the largest enterprises.
Above all, I love the spirit of this place, the passion, and the perseverance, which has been the cornerstone of our culture from the very beginning.
Stay focused and keep moving forward. I am excited about what we will do. Satya's appointment confirms that.
Thanks for making Microsoft the most amazing place to work on the planet, and thanks for the chance to lead.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, March 11, 2013
WARRENVILLE, S.C. (WRDW) -- One smiling face was missing from the halls of LBC Middle School Monday.
On Saturday, 13-year-old McClay Powell passed away from complications following heart surgery. On Monday, her middle school wore red in her honor.
Friends say her smile is the thing they will miss the most about McClay. They describe it as a smile that seemed to fill the halls of LBC middle school.
"She was just a great person all together," said eighth grader Nicole Tanton. "She would boost up your day if you were sad. Every time she walked in a room, she'd just light it up."
McClay's first day at LBC was hard to forget.
"She came to us in seventh grade and made an impact on her first day," said chorus teacher Joyce Culp.
"The first day she came here, she wore cat ears. She won us over. Everybody loved her," added eight grader Jace Bennefield.
That love was represented in red Monday with students and teachers honoring her.
"I can honestly say there hasn't been one person that has not cried today," Bennefield said. "It's been rough, but I guess we'll take it day by day."
A little more than two weeks ago McClay had heart surgery at Emory in Atlanta.
"The surgery to repair her heart valve went very well and things were looking very good and we were all excited," Culp said. "We were all preparing for her to come home, to come back to us."
But something went wrong.
"With all heart surgeries risk and complications are a part of it, and things didn't work out quite the way we planned," Culp said.
"All of a sudden we get a call that something went wrong, and then the next day she passed away," Tanton said.
A life that ended way too soon, but one filled with lessons these middle schoolers will never forget.
"Life's too short. live it to the fullest," Bennefield said. "Any day He could take any of us."
"You're not guaranteed tomorrow," added friend Erica Faircloth.
"And you really just need to be nice to everyone because you don't know how quick they can be taken away from you," Tanton said.
The day before McClay went to Atlanta for surgery, she was able to compete in the Miss LBC pageant. Her platform was raising money for the American Heart Association to educate everyone about heart problems in young people.
They are planning to hold a benefit in her honor in May, something they were planning with McClay before she passed away. It will raise money for the Heart Association and also for McClay's family's hospital bills.

The complaint I heard from a friend of mine, about President Obama's speech last night, was that it was disingenuous on the count of "policing." The President cited messages he'd received from concerned American citizens with skepticism and reservation about his proposed action, among these that we should not be "the world's policemen." The President said he agreed how we should not, my friend complains, and then went on to explain how we would be.
I understand my friend's point, but I wonder if the President wasn't confronting a complexity that needs confronting, even if it means standing accused of contradiction. If not the world's policeman, maybe what he proposes is that we act as the citizen we are, the human being.
If you see your neighbor mercilessly abusing his child and it's plain that for corrupt reasons his actions are not being policed, that he is behaving monstrously and with impunity, to the point of committing obvious crime, and you are confident in your own judgement and in your ability to intervene effectively against the criminal abuse and confront the conscience of not only the abuser, but the many who had allowed and enabled him, then you act. Indiscriminate restraint has just as many dangers as indiscriminate action. If the prospect of your action succeeds in wakening the conscience of those around you from their complacency and complicity then you welcome them into the effort they should have been joined in all along. That's not policing. That's citizenship.
I think President Obama's call to act has already had some positive effect. As an American, as a citizen, and as a human being, I am proud of him.

Hi -- I just discovered your blog. So awesome!! I'd love to travel to Amsterdam someday, so thanks for the virtual vacation. :)ReplyDelete
When you visit the Almalfi Coast you must must must go to Santorini.ReplyDelete
I've been to all of those cities (minus the Amalfi coast) and you are in for SUCH a treat. While in Barcelona, try the tapas in the Merct de Sant Josep market off the Rambla...you'll have to fight for a seat but it's worth it! And definitely rent a four-wheeler in Santorini. You can drive all around the island and it is so fun and beautiful you'll want to cry. My husband and I had the best day ever there. Safe travels! xoReplyDelete
A great hotel in Santorini is KEY as it's a pretty low-key quiet island. Looking forward to following your travels, I've done Santorini and Barcelona, and the Amalfi Coast and Seville are next up on our must-see list.ReplyDelete
Ahhh so jealous of all your travels!! Especially the Amalfi Coast and Santorini, my two favorite places ever!!ReplyDelete
Your trips sound amazing! Found you from Sarah over at Fairy Tales are true. Exicted for her guest post for you AND your upcoming trip with the wonderful Megan!!ReplyDelete
We just booked our trip to Spain - we'll be in Barcelona 2 weeks after you and will be traveling the country for 2 weeks. I'll look forward to your recommendations :)ReplyDelete
I studied abroad in Seville and loved it! You have to try lots of Andalucian food - tortilla, olives, jamon serrano, manchego cheese. Must see the Alcazar and for nightlife Calle Alfalfa!ReplyDelete
i was gonna say that edinburgh is going to be the BEST trip...but then you put up santorini, and not gonna lie, that is even better than me..which is saying A LOT because i am pretty awesome.ReplyDelete
I just...I have no words for how jealous I am right now.ReplyDelete
I love Europe. :)
I am beyond jealous!ReplyDelete
Are you guys staying in Positano?! My husband and I spent the majority of our honeymoon there at Casa Cuccaro up on the cliffs in Nocelle, and it was breathtaking. If you're staying in Positano, you MUST go to La Tagliata Fattoria (http://www.latagliata.com/). It's easily the best meal I have ever had, true "family style" (uhmm... eight appetizers. eight.), and worth every penny. Restaurant staff will even taxi you - for free - too and from your hotel!ReplyDelete
That's great that you're making it down to Spain! Here are my suggestions for Sevilla: http://www.christineinspain.com/search/sevilla and for Barcelona: http://www.christineinspain.com/post/1254953618/barcelona-bohemian-grandeur and http://www.christineinspain.com/post/1262809898/barcelona-bohemian-grandeur-pt-iiReplyDelete
¡Qué disfrutes!
Let me know if you have any Q's!
I am beyond jealous that you are heading to the beautiful Sevilla. I studied abroad there for a semester and fell in love. I have no doubt that you two will too.
Try out a bar called Cien Montaditos - there is one on Constitución (same street as Cathedral) and across from La Universidad de Sevilla (C/San Fernando- perpendicular to Constitución). They have cheap tapas and $1 jarras of tinto de verano and beer on Wednesdays.
Enjoy the beautiful sunshine of Sevilla! You can also check out the blog I kept while studying abroad: sevillalamaravillakp.blogspot.com.
Happy traveling!!!
Santorini is absolutley breathtaking. I literally cried as I approched my first viewpoint after getting off the ferry. I have never, ever seen anything remotely as beautiful as those waters against the white buildings. I blogged about my 2 week vacation to Greece here: http://mandeepearson.blogspot.com/2010/05/greece.htmlReplyDelete
so you can see some of my favorites!
so jealous of your upcoming travels, sounds amazing! we lived in edinburgh when my husband was interning with the parliament and i would move back in a heartbeat! i'm sure you'll see stuff on the royal mile, bene's fish and chips near the bottom of the royal mile was my favorite place for chips. i don't know how much time you'll have outside of edinburgh and st. andrews, but inverie was my most favorite place - you should check it out if you have time!ReplyDelete

Your travel plans sound amazing!
Where are you staying in Greece? My husband and I are headed there in September and still need to book our hotel. Yours sounds amazzzzing!!
Enjoy your travels!!
OH my goodness, I'm super jealous...these are all places I want to go!! I cannot wait to see your photos and follow your travels over the next few months, I know you'll have a blast!! Thanks for sharing! xoxoReplyDelete
In other news, my hubby and I are heading from Lake Tahoe to Portland tonight for the long weekend to visit his family...not quite Europe, but I'm excited to eat some good food and drink some good beer! :)
Liz, I am so excited for you! You are living my dream life!! Can't wait to hear about all of your fun adventures!ReplyDelete
I love your goal of one new place per month! I visited Spain a little over a year ago. LOVED IT! Granada is AMAZING! if you get a chance, go. Also, don't forget about the tapas. I still dream of tapas! Have funnnn!ReplyDelete
Going to Barcelona March 24 - April 3. Would LOVE to hear if you have any hotel/eat/see recommendations! We're also exploring outside of Barcelona a bit and so far have the Dali museum on our list. Anything else you've heard of that is worth a day or overnight trip? I'm still struggling with finding a charming hotel in Barcelona...ReplyDelete
Santorini looks AMAZING! what an exciting adventure you get to have living abroad! Such a blessing!ReplyDelete

I loved St. Andrews. I visited my little cousin there last year when she was studying abroad. We ate at the italian restaurant a couple of times. There's only one, so it should be easy to find. The decor is so cute-candlelight tables with a wood wall & the best bolognese I've ever had. I love this blog...even if you make me miss my old life (in England) all the time!ReplyDelete
ok ok i am basically dyyyyying. i can't even wait. not for two seconds.ReplyDelete
Liz, I am infinitely jealous and yet much more excited for you! I'm so glad you're meeting Megan! Two of my favorite bloggers, and you're both so funny that I hope I'll be able to read about it. I'm going to Barcelona in May, sooo I may just end up bombarding you with questions when you come back from that trip. And I've heard Santorini is absolutely gorgeous. I had a friend bring back pictures from there and she said it was one of the greatest cities she had ever spent time in. I hope you enjoy it just as much! And have fun in all those trips! =]ReplyDelete
So jealous of your adventures! I loved Seville when I visited in 2001 during my study abroad trip. Have a great time!ReplyDelete
A dream listReplyDelete
oh geeez, you lucky lady! I cannot even express how jealous/ happy i am! Cant wait for those posts :)ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh.....I am SO jealous! Thank goodness I found your blog and can follow along on these trips! I've never even heard of the Amalfi coast, but I just added it to my travel to-do list!ReplyDelete
These all sound so exciting and I can't wait to follow along! I was in Edinburgh and St. Andrews last April, my first ever solo trip, and Scotland is really so AMAZING. Absolutely beautiful. Edinburgh is super easy to navigate and the people are awesome, the friendliest nationality I've met thus far! And St. Andrews is breathtakingly beautiful. Make it out to the Old Course-there is so much history there. If you go to the clubhouse bar (I think it's on the 3rd floor)right before sunset for a few glasses of vino you will have one of those "Life is so beautiful" moments...you know the one :) And the Old cemetery in St. Andrews is really dreamy, I was there on a perfect day and had a blast taking pictures and and exploring. Students were even studying on the lawn there. In Edinburgh, the Museum of Childhood is really quaint, and at free admission it's a fun 20 minute walk through. Really just walking up and down the Royal Mile is fun. I have a few Scotland posts on my blog with pictures and explanations if you're interested.ReplyDelete
Aside from my undying love for Scotland...Almafi Coast and Santorini...yes please. Those sound like amazing adventures to be had!
I'm so jealous! I actually just got back from Seville last month and it was gorgeous! I would recommend seeing the cathedral of saint mary (you can't miss it!) and paying the small fee to tour inside and climb the tower! the views are breathtaking.ReplyDelete
When you're in barcelona you can't miss Gaudi's work. go to la sagrada familia and climb to the top! that was one of my favorite moments while i was there. Park Guell is awesome too. and Las Ramblas for some entertainment and shopping! Oh, i could go on and on :)
I wish I was you sooo bad. I really wanted to go to scotland, but never made it. Barcelona was amazing.. I spent a week there in 2008 when I lived in France.ReplyDelete
all of these destinations are DREAMY! enjoy!ReplyDelete
a. and i actually lived in edinburgh for a year... it's one of the most amazing cities in europe.
here are all of our favourites...

For the best (and free!) flamenca dancing, go to La Carboneria. Great music and authentic dancers. It's a little tricky to find, but people are everywhere in the street and can give you directions, no problem.
Loving your adventures!
aghhhhh. the travel bug is biting me bad! goodness. we are doing a few trips in the good ol' US of A this summer, and maybe visiting family in Europe the following year and then Brazil after that. I can't.wait. Getting so antsy for planes, trains, and automobiles! xoxoReplyDelete

Barcelona is definitely worth seeing! and Santorini is my dream destination:)ReplyDelete
Life and travelling
OH my gosh, you have the best travel year ever coming up!! I'm dying to go to the Amalfi Coast and Santorini.ReplyDelete
Liz, thanks SO MUCH for joining my link-up, you're the best! Such an inspiring post too. I just got back from Madrid and after reading about your upcoming adventures, I am ready to jet off again!!ReplyDelete
I could be wrong, but if our dogs get along...I think I see a weekend road trip in our future...I'm thinking a cute Germany or French town?
All those trips sound amazing!! Just a little bit jealous. haha. Barcelona is a beautiful city, but Santorini is definitely one of my most memorable trips. When I went it was in December, but luckily we had great weather. The island is quite small, we ended up renting four wheelers and rode around the entire island. It was pretty awesome. I was there when the island was practically deserted so I have no idea about how it will be in the summer. You will love it though. :)ReplyDelete
You are so blessed to experience the world with the love of your life :) safe travels! You can make any place feel special or fun with someone you love. XOReplyDelete
Very pleased to report our top notch experience with Spain tours. We had to scamble to find a tour to Spain on New Years Eve when our original tour operator cancelled trip. We then found www.privatetoursinistanbul.com online. They were very responsive in emails to arrange a substitute plan for us to have a private guide/driver who picked us up at our hotel, gave us a brief overview of Madrid as we drove to Spain, and then an excellent tour of Toledo. He made several stops with us, tailored to our interests, took us to a few spots typical tour bus would not go to. Excellent and less expensive than some our private tours we and our hotel concierge had found.ReplyDelete
great list! Edinburgh and the Amalfi Coast are high on my list as well! Can't wait to follow along with your adventures. I was on Santorini for a day last spring and would love to go back. The caldera is amazing and all those stairs are breathtaking (literally).ReplyDelete

ELK TOWNSHIP - Becoming caretaker of the cemeteries for the Zion United Church of Christ wasn't something Vernon Thomas planned; it just sort of happened.
"That's the way it is because there's really nobody else (affiliated with the church) out here in this area," said Thomas, 80, of Elk Township in Noble County.
Although two of Thomas' uncles and a great-grandfather are among the 275 to 300 people laid to rest in the cemetery next to the shuttered church on Old Church Road off Ohio 565, he became a member around 1960 of what was then known as the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church after he married his wife, Shirley. It wasn't long before Thomas was on the church council.
Article Photos

Elk Township resident Vernon Thomas stands in the old cemetery at Zion United Church of Christ of which he was once a member and whose cemeteries he and his wife Shirley now have charge over.
"When you've only got 10 or 12 members and you got a ... limit on how long you can be there, you kind of get forced into it," he said with a laugh.
People were buried in the hillside cemetery in the order they died, a German tradition, rather than being grouped by family, Thomas noted. A number of the markers are still in good condition, but many have faded with age, some have fallen and others are gone.
The last burial in that cemetery was in 1944, so by the time Thomas got involved, folks were being interred in a newer cemetery half a mile up the road. He and a neighbor used to dig the graves.
Fact Box
Zion Church Cemetery
Alternate name: Zion Evangelical Cemetery.
Location: Old Church Road, off Ohio 565, in Elk Township, Noble County.
Established: 1847-48.
Last burial: 1944.
"I was a gravedigger, preacher, pallbearer, everything, one grave," Thomas said, recalling the burial of a stillborn girl in 1978.
The church closed about eight years ago, and the original plan was to form a cemetery association to maintain the new and old sites.
"Well, we had one meeting and that's about as far as the association went," Thomas said.
Money collected over the years, along with donations and revenue from sales of plots at the newer cemetery, pay for maintenance, which costs about $1,500 a year, Thomas said.
"We haven't got a lot of money, but we've got enough to keep going for a few years yet," he said.
Thomas said he and his wife will continue to oversee the cemeteries as long as the fund lasts and they are able to do so. Eventually though, someone else will have to take over, probably the township trustees, who have a legal responsibility to maintain abandoned cemeteries.
The Thomases pay someone to mow the cemeteries two to three times a month, depending on weather. Thomas also picks up at the active cemetery after storms and tries to set up markers that have fallen in the older cemetery.
There are about 60 markers in the new cemetery, many of them representing the final resting place of two or more family members. The last burial was more than a year ago, but additional plots have been sold and there is space for more.
"You give me $100, and I'll give you a deed for a lot," he said.
Lowell resident Kelton Fliehman Jr., 83, attended the church as a child and has relatives buried in the cemetery. But he found out there were even more than he thought after reading "Zion Church Cemetery," a book of photos and information on the cemetery compiled last year by Marietta resident Patricia Kehl.
"I found several people in there I wasn't aware of, that would have been ancestors or relatives of ancestors," he said.
One of those was a great-aunt who died as a child. Others shared the surname of Pitzer with one of Fliehman's great-grandfathers who is buried there, but he believes those individuals are distant relations at best.
"They came to this country about 10 years before he did," Fliehman said.

The annual meetings at the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine aren't normally as well-attended as Friday's was according to the organizations executive director.
Outgoing attorney general Bill Schneider said their needs to be a way for people to fight back quickly against someone who is looking to create widespread carnage.
The Sportsman's Alliance isn't taking a public position yet on the idea of arming teachers, but says teachers should teach while others -- like first responders -- should focus on ways to make schools safer.
The state's education commissioner, admittedly not a gun expert, said he attended the meeting to listen to what was said.

This was all very traumatic because it was my first show and I had driven 4 hours from upstate ny to attend. I was 17 so of course the little squares of paper were involved. After getting thrown out we got to meet some of the more colorful denizens of the neighborhood which was know as The Combat Zone.
me:" so where are you from?"
Combat Zone Guy "My mother"
So that was interesting. We could hear the songs from inside but since I really wasn't that familiar it was all a blur to me. I've never listened to this show because it brings back bad memories.
I think this is what led to me getting obsessed with Phish because I was very upset about being kicked out. I almost went to the show at Union College the next night but my ride backed out. Someone in the lot told me tickets were only 5 bucks I wonder if that was true.

Map prints for sale - limited edition!
You can order copies, colour or sepia, of any of the historical maps listed on this page from the Archives and Heritage Service.
These are A3 high definition prints on quality semi-gloss paper, cost £8.00 each. Postage and packing free!
The map reproductions which you see on the web, including the examples on this page, are low resolution, because of the amount of time required for downloading. Prints of the maps are taken from the original high-resolution archival scan, so details are clearer.
This is the centre of a map showing some of Birmingham's public buildings, schools and businesses in 1870. The different colours show ward divisions.
The print quality of the original of this map is excellent, perhaps because it was printed by the mapmaking firm of Bartholomews in Edinburgh.
This map includes some of the suburbs, as well as central Birmingham. Some of the areas shown, for example Handsworth and Moseley, would become part of Birmingham under the Greater Birmingham Scheme in 1911. Smethwick also appears. Although close, it has never formed part of Birmingham. Previously it was in Staffordshire, and is now in Sandwell.

Marietta school security
Community, board continue discussion
January 8, 2013
Bulletproof glass, holding areas, non-lethal weapons and arming security guards and teachers with guns were among the ideas for improving school security discussed at Monday's Marietta City Board of......
@oneill - your comment, " so-called NRA "training" for teachers involves a $150 up-front fee. For that, one gets TWO hours of "training" - mostly "target-practice". AS a certified NRA instructor, I can tell you that the training is a minimum of 10 hours, which includes lessons on the use of deadly force. Believe me, as a CCW holder, the last thing I want to do is discharge my firearm. Frankly, I don't want to go to court to justify my actions, and leave the outcome in the hands of someone who may be opposed the the use of firearms under any circumstances.

Fred, you say you're a pretty good shot, but in a "smoke-filled room" like that theater in Aurora, you don't think you'd have been able to see your target? Where do they still allow smoking in theaters? Not Colorado! You can't even smoke in restaurants in most states in the US! Or bars!
There's a case of a school shooter down South, I believe Mississippi, where the Principal was a concealed carry permit holder. He complied with the law, and his firearm was locked in his car, parked outside of the "gun free zone" of the school property.
He heard shooting start, and ran, retreived his pistol, ran back and subdued the shooter, preventing more injuries.
These people doing the shootings are cowards, when faced with someone willing to fight back, they either take their own life, or surrender. Look at Aurora, when police arrived, that loon put down his rifle and surrendered. When the Newtown shoter heard police arrive, he killed himself. IF one person had refused to b

Look a well placed hand cannon round might have stopped this act, but in reality how many times would have this young man fired his weapon until the response of "hey, I hear shooting got to get my 6 shooter from my purse or jacket in the closet, make sure my students dont follow me, find and then stop or deter the shooter, one life lost is too many, but would this line of thinking stopped all of the murders by this young man who was intent on firing first and*****the consequences, respectfully no It would not have.
By the way I used to carry thousands of dollars to buy commodities and never thought much about being a victim. But of course, My big thing was being aware of my surroundings and how I comported myself, carry your weapon, but be careful around innocent children, Saturday`s events prove we are human beings, and accidents happen!!!!

Or we could fence the schools in with armed guards, and even a watch tower or 2. Get some of these kids used to their future. I mean really, guns around elemenary schools. "Guess that`s somethin you wont understand."

Wow, lets put this in perspective, most threaders on this site think teachers rate less respect than those that put a Big Mac in a sack, but now their reaction is to put more guns around five year olds and let the educators carry weapons, which these innocent minds, have mostly no idea what the dangers of guns can inflict. These acts of violence have benn going on for years in inner cities, with not much being said or done. Now that is in the face of those with a voice and political capitol, something must be done now.
Tell you what, give it 6 months and 3 request to the state rep. for funds to pay for these armed guards and we will see what the reaction is then.

O'Neil... About your library situation. If you continue to offer yourself up as a soft target, then whackjobs will fully expoit you. Personally, I am done being a victim. I attempt to avoid all businesses & buildings that are soft targets. On that vein, I guess I have embraced the world of e banking & shopping. I choose not to do business with those that promote these opportunists. For instance, I have several family members that are into the craft thing. I refuse to spend money at JoAnn Fabric because they post a placard. I spend my money in P'burg or at the Walmart because of their stance. I am certain that there are some in town that will do go there for that very reason. Their business to be caught in a soft target, but not mine.
We will have to agree to disagree. To me everything is simple & easily solvable. Too often we get lost in minutiae & the simple solution....

I just checked the BOE website. There are approximately 2,900 students in the school system. At say $125 per student, that equals $362,000 dollars. That will pay for a few police officers.
Now don't bark, balk, or bemoan the proposition. We have a problem, this is simply a solution. Bottom line folks, the school pays, the city pays, all people pay, or just parents of school children pay. It is that simple. Identify your problem, then solve. O'neil, it is that simple....... Good luck to our leaders, may we continue to benefactors of good fortune, & God bless all of us parents that send our children off every day....

O'Neil, this isn't complex! You choose to be in the middle of the road. That is why you say what you say. Folks, it is this simple... Whack jobs in all of these but one instance was a feel good medicated, but not medicated nut who shirked personal responsibilty for a coward's choice. The 'why' is important, but no one will act to correct that matter.
So, what have is a this scenario...Allow our schools to be a a soft target, & wait for our turn. Or, take an affirmative posture & kill any wanna be glory coward before they get to our children! If you chooose the latter, then have the BOE lawyers get money into place to hire police officers. If not that, then get a levy to specifically fund police officers. Fund the levy, fund the police. It is pretty simple. If the community doesn't support the levy, then assess every family of a child some magical dollar amount, NO EXCEPTIONS for the poor, dole, disadvantaged & hire another officer..........

No matter, comments on here dont matter, i strongly suspect that very few teachers in our schools will be carrying guns to class, if any ( i hope). Some of u dont seem to wrap ur minds around the fact that its not a good idea to bring firearms inside our schools. Some of u question the cost of the security that would be required to make our schools safe. We recently had a president before the one we have now who had no problem at all coming up the money to fund two foreign wars, how much did that cost? Our children should be protected with alot less than wars! Fence off intercity schools just like any school, whats the problem?

I realize that this is a late post but just saw Ms Sawyers interview with Gabby Gifford and husband Mark Kelly on ABC news- One question asked was if they agreed with the NRA slogan "A bad guy with a gun is only stopped with a good guy with a gun."(both have called for new gun laws in the wake of the Sandy point massacre ) Mr Kelly remarked that there was in Aurora Colorado parking lot&this good guy with a gun and nearly shot the officer who was arresting the shooter James Holmes. It was dark-he could not see well ,Holmes was also in an all black swat type outfit. I would say to all of you who promote guns, this type thing is very possible /just because one may know how to shoot a gun, hunt for sport and target practice, they also (unless current ex law enforcement or ex military )are not trained as police or military are in emergency situations.That training is usually not offered to the general public.The recent shooting at had a shooting the gun show happened just by

Yes, there was an armed security guard at Columbine. He was in his car having lunch at the time. When the two shot at him, he ducked and never followed them into the building. It took the police 45 minutes to enter the building, all the time hearing shots being fired.

Hundreds of teachers in Ohio & Texas are signing up for concealed carry classes, provided to them free of charge. There are plenty of people, teachers & other school staff included, who would be willing to step up & provide this extra layer if those who implemented this foolish notion of "gun free" zones got out of the way.

You raise many valid points, and I don't necessarily disagree. But, just because a teacher/staff member has a permit and is willing to carry, doesn't mean that they should be encouraged to or allowed to do so.

I am quite capable of doing a search on any topic, but no amount of internet research will tell me that there are local teachers that are gun carriers who are willing to be the designated person with that added resposibilty. The only way we'd know that is to take a survey of local eductors. Afterall, this artice is dealing with MARIETTA school security. HR: your constant berating/belitting posts and opinions of those that do not agree with you gets old. Can't you disagree with some amount of respect?

bobber21, it is a fact that there are teachers who do carry in schools. It is also a fact that some teachers would be more than happy to carry in there school. Nobody is suggesting they have to carry, just let them have the option. If I were a teacher I would gladly confront the shooter on my terms rather than cower and wait to be the next victim.

Teachers have enough concerns and responsibilities in these situations without expecting them to "take down the shooter" too! HR: you asked irisheyes if they had asked teachers how they felt about carrying guns in schools while stating he/she is uninformed and going off "half cocked". I think we would all be interested in the results of the research you have done on same subject. Who did you interview? Was it a local or national survey?

For those that don't think teachers should carry, think about this. You trust the shapping of their young minds to these people, but you would not trust them with a gun?

arearesident, Columbine had an armed gaurd. Plus you have added cost. In case you missed it, we already are pretty muched tapped out financially. Taking down the signs and allowing teachers to conceal carry costs nothing.

Malabrigo has been busy putting yet another new twist—both literally and figuratively—on its super-soft kettle-dyed Merino yarn line.
Called Twist, this new yarn is made from not two, not four, but eight tiny plies all twisted tightly together. Do we finally have a Malabrigo that won't pill?

I'm running 126.96.36.199 community edition from the debian repository, with a 1280x760 screen resolution.
When I draw a circle, it looks like a tall oval on the screen. The aspect ratio ends up being about 1.33! The same thing happens with squares.
Is there any way to adjust this? The monitor I'm using doesn't have a lot of display modes.
I'm also running qcad 126.96.36.199 professional on a mac, and things look fine there, on the same monitor, via a kvm switch. The resolution there is 1280x1024, which isn't a choice in the debian kde program. Any ideas?

FRISCO, Colorado - Hoping to bring Whole Foods to Frisco, developer David O'Neil, with Brynn Grey Partners, presented a plan for a proposed building site to the town planning commission on Thursday.
The sketch plan proposal was met with constructive criticism and enthusiasm by the commission.
The presentation was open to public attendance and feedback and served the purpose of providing input on the proposed design of Whole Foods for the developers and designers.
The proposed building is 25,000 square feet, with a total building area of 105,000 square feet accompanied by 420 parking spaces.
The location for the proposed Whole Foods is on Summit Boulevard, adjacent to Interstate 70 across from Safeway.
Included in the informal proposal, Brynn Grey Partners have laid out an area of 15,000 square feet for "a possible expansion of Whole Foods" in the future, O'Neil said.
"In general, we liked the design and feel the developers have a good plan that will fit Frisco's character," said Jocelyn Mills, community-development director for the town of Frisco.
The proposal is not formal; it is merely the first step in approving development on commercial property, Mills said.
The next step in the process of bringing Whole Foods to Frisco is to prepare and submit a formal development application for "rigorous review involving town staff and outside agencies," Mills said.
After an application is submitted, it takes 52 days to conduct an analysis of the request, formulate a recommendation and schedule a public hearing in front of the Frisco Planning Commission.
The planning commission has final review over the development application. All meetings are open to the public, and comments are part of the hearing process.

I've never owned any kit from this brand but I've been a fan of this this team for a while and loved this year's jersey. The zipper quality seems a bit lacking and the material may not be what you're used to in a team jersey but fits nice and for the price you can't go wrong. I'm sure it will be one of the first out of the closet come spring and summer.
This is a well-made jersey. The zipper runs free, the materials, and construction are good.
Service & Price are the things that come to mind. They excelled at both and that is what you expect in a dealer customer relationship.

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Business leaders in Augusta are saying it's time to fix the city transit system. They say it's a critical part of how they operate.
Commissioners agree, saying a good bus system encourages new business to come to town.
Some of the things in the works include expanding bus coverage and changing the routes. On Wednesday on The Inside Story, Commissioner Bill Lockett said Mobility, the company that runs the city's transit system, should be fired.
"We have an outstanding labor force that was with the city and is with Mobility now. They can come in and take over at noon today. We would never know the difference," Lockett said.
Sue Parr, the president of the Augusta Chamber of Commerce, says potential companies know. Parr says transportation is a factor in whether or not new industry comes to the city.
"Public transportation is something they are always looking for," she said.
Commissioner Alvin Mason met with customer care centers and officials with Augusta Tech to talk transit and how it impacts employees.
"We've had many companies within the four c indicate our public transit system is sometimes an issue for their employees," Parr said.
"It's no reason for us to kick this down the road any longer. We have to address the concerns of this community," Mason said.
"I would prefer to do it in house. You can make changes at a moment's notice. You can improve the system. We will have $800,000 coming in for transit from the special option local sales tax," Lockett said.
"Whether or not Mobility can provide that is a whole different issue. Here, contract speaks directly to what we already have in place," Lockett said.

ASPEN, Colorado - The inconveniences and hassles associated with air travel these days - removing shoes and liquids at airport security checkpoints, for example - are here to stay, said John Pistole, chief of the Transportation Security Administration, on Friday.
Pistole appeared at the Aspen Security Forum, which wrapped up Saturday in a one-on-one interview with ABC "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran. He spent more than an hour explaining the TSA's missions and vulnerabilities before a packed audience at the Aspen Meadows' Doerr-Hosier Center.
"Clearly, we've had success in not having a repeat of 9/11," Pistole said. "We can't go back to the pre-9/11 days."
That is, unless travelers are enrolled in TSA's PreCheck program. For $100 and a background check, flyers can avoid body scans and dropping their shoes, belt, jacket, laptop, toiletries and other potentially suspicious items at the TSA checkpoints.
Still in its infancy, the program, which announced that its 2 millionth passenger went through PreCheck on Thursday, is in place at 16 U.S. airports, "and we expect to expand to 35 airports," Pistole said.
A 27-year veteran of the FBI who took the helm of the agency in July 2010, Pistole admitted, at the prodding of Moran, that the TSA has had its vulnerabilities.
Moran remarked that the TSA has appeared to be a reactive agency - it implemented a shoe-removal policy for all passengers after the botched airline bombing attempt in December 2001 by Richard Reid, also known as the "Shoe Bomber"; liquid carry-on restrictions were enforced in the wake of a foiled liquid-explosive bomb plot in August 2006 in the U.K.
"It seems we've always been one step behind," Moran said.
The after-the-fact policies are the product of an agency that's just a decade old, Pistole said.
"We have progressed with the advent of technology," he said.
Part of that progression has included adjusting its explosive-detection devices, which earlier this year resulted in the interception of an upgraded type of underwear bomb by a double-agent in Yemen, where an al-Qaida affiliate had planned to destroy an airline bound for the U.S.
The TSA's emphasis obviously is on air travel, as evidenced by 97 percent of its resources being dedicated to aviation, Pistole said. But ground travel on subways, buses and trains is a concern, and that's where the TSA is "most vulnerable," he said.
"More people have been killed in rail attacks than aviation over the last 10 years," he said, adding that "but because 9/11 involved aviation in the U.S., that's our (priority)."
The notion that the TSA profiles air travelers based on their ethnicity or home countries is not true, Pistole said.
"Terrorism has no face," he said.
The TSA has a labor force of 60,000, 47,000 of whom are security officers and 24,000 who work part time. Trimming the staff at a time when the federal government looks at ways to cut costs is not on the table, Pistole said.
There are "no discussions about reducing the work force," he said.
