Become aware of your story
Changing your story
Create your new story
week I am continuing a series of guest blogs from inspirational people (coaches, consultants, writers) on what living
joyfully means to them. The blog today is from a dear friend and life coach Christina Watson- founder of Footprintsat50.com"If I had to sum up the keys to living joyfully I would have to
say there are 3 components:
Accepting what is going on right now in my life is
the gateway to freedom. When I just accept that whatever I have going on JUST IS and it's okay, the
grip of resistance is loosed and change is free to take place. Resisting (or resenting or regretting) my
present circumstances is sure to guarantee that they stay.

"What does it mean to me to live joyfully? I'm a life coach and a mom of three little
kids. My days are jam packed with activities, countless things on my to-do list and perpetual exhaustion. Yet,
somehow, I know I can find joy everywhere – when I decide to look for it.
a taste of a few joyful moments this morning…
of these things are revolutionary, explosive, life-changing moments of joy. I wasn't celebrating
any of those traditionally joyful moments like a wedding, birth, birthday, etc. I mean enjoying a glass
of cool water this morning – that's pretty mundane, right?
most of you, I drink (or certainly aspire to drink) about 8 glasses of water a day. Most of them I drink
without even noticing. So, what was special about this one? Absolutely nothing - except
that I chose to pay attention to it. I paid attention to the experience in my body while drinking that
water. It was like a liquid "Ahhhh". I couldn't get enough.
How can you tell what brings you joy? Look to your body.
When you look around or think about your day what brings a smile to your face, or makes you feel excited, warm, lighter,
or more relaxed? When you notice these sensations in your body then there is a good chance that there is
some joyful living close by.
And, when I feel angry,
sad, or frustrated then I bring my attention to things that I know usually bring me joy and I focus on them. I
infuse my life and body with a dose of joy. It is amazing how a smile, laugh or tickle seems to make even
the roughest moments, a little bit better.
Join me for the rest of this week finding
at least five different things each day that bring you joy. They are everywhere – big and little.
Find them, name them, and become conscious of when they show up in your daily routine. Choose to
notice, choose to live joyfully."

more energy and joy in 2010, find some new inspired ways to step outside your comfort zone and allow your soul to be seen!

Jan 14, Noon EST Meet my Guest Expert Dr. Dean Shrock author
of the recently released best selling book Why Love Heals
Dr. Dean Shrock served as Director of Mind-Body Medicine for a physician management group of 40 cancer centers. Here he discovered
that the one thing we're all looking for is peace of mind. His books, Doctor's Orders: Go Fishing and Why Love Heals, reveal
how to find it. The secret is finding your joy. It's the key to accessing the life force quantum energy that flows through
This all-pervasive energy is best described as love. This is why his research concluded
that you need to feel loved and cared for. This allows for the flow of this life-giving energy. He then realized that healthcare
must address the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Now after more than 30 years of study and practice, Dr. Shrock has
dedicated his life to writing and teaching how to find your own true joy, greater health, and a deeper sense of inner love.

The Bayonne Chamber of Commerce has distributed $5,100 worth of supermarket gift cards to nearly a dozen local food pantries.
"It was great to see our members step up to do a good thing for the community," said Vincent Virga, 45, the Chamber's president.
The money to purchase the gift cards was raised at the Chamber's annual fund-raiser, held at De Noi restaurant on Avenue C.
"We took whatever we accumulated, just comprised it into various supermarket gift cards and evenly distributed it ... among all the pantries here in town," said Virga, who is also president of Partnership Financial Services, 776 Broadway, a financial advisory firm.
"Last year, we raised just about $3,000," he added.
Representatives from 11 local food pantries gathered at Virga's office and were each given $450 gift cards.
"I think it's wonderful," said the Rev. Rose Cohen Hassan, manager of social services at the Windmill Alliance, a nonprofit organization that runs a local food pantry. "The need is so overwhelming we fed almost 1,000 during the month of November."
"It's incredible, the need that is exploding right now," she added.
Unlike the other beneficiaries, the Windmill Alliance received $600 in gift cards, which was a condition of one of the donors, Virga said.
The gift cards, from Shop Rite and Stop & Shop, were purchased through the nonprofit "I Believe in HFA," a charity that will benefit the Holy Family Academy, 239 Avenue A, Virga said.
"On behalf of the City of Bayonne, I would like to thank the Bayonne Chamber of Commerce for its generosity to our local food pantries," Mayor Mark Smith said in an e-mail. "At this special time of year, the Chamber's support will enable people in need to have something to eat."
Other charities that received gift cards include: Our Lady of Assumption soup kitchen and Giordano food pantry, the Bayonne Economic Opportunity Foundation, First Assembly of God, Friendship Baptist Church, Jewish Family and Counseling Service, St. Andrew the Apostle Church, St. Henry's Church, St. Mary, Star of the Sea Church, St. Vincent de Paul Church, and Wallace Temple.

I have watched the first episode and I liked it, I found it really interesting. I need to catch up on the second episode today!
Have any of you been watching the new HBO series "Boardwalk Empire." There have only been two episodes to date, but so far the story is compelling. The series takes the era of prohibition and what F. Scott Fitzgerald called the "lost generation" (meaning all the young men returning from the war forever changed) to a whole new level. It's almost like a vintage Sopranos with crime bosses, killings, and soap opera like intrigue. The show is every bit as violent. For me, the most compelling reason to watch the show is the performance of Steve Buscemi as the crime boss Nucky Thompson. Nucky has so many sides. He can help a poor woman, and at the same time, rub out her no good husband leaving her a widow with two small children, But somehow you know that widow, Margaret Schroeder, will not go uncared for so long as Nucky is around. I'm wondering if Mr. Schroeder will end up taking the place of Nucky's departed wife, Mabel, and giving Nucky a little extra respectability. So how does the "Boardwalk Empire" fit in with The Recessionista, and our dedication to finding deals? Easy, right now, HBO is offering some tremendous deals in cooperation with Harrah's to promote the series. Here's how you can get a little vacation at 1920s prices.
HBO partner Caesars Atlantic City and parent company Harrah's Entertainment are offering special "Boardwalk Empire" promotions. These deals might just help to further revitalize the once glamorous playground of the East Coast. Click here to see Boardwalk Empire packages around the US.
And what would a proper marketing plan be without a sweepstakes powered by an interactive website? Visit the Boardwalk Empire interactive, Prohibition-themed website (www.BoardwalkEmpireAC.com) to view trailers from the series, learn about special Boardwalk offers and enter to win the "Boardwalk Empire" Sweepstakes. One lucky winner will "live like the king of the boardwalk" with access to his or her own personalized suite at Caesars Atlantic City for a full year. Five first prize winners will receive "Boardwalk Empire" weekends at Caesars, including airfare, limo transportation between New York and Atlantic City, suite accommodations, a "stocked bar," a Bloomingdale's shopping spree and dinner at McCormick & Schmick's.
Chris Spadaccini, Vice President Advertising and Promotions, HBO, explains this marketing strategy by noting, "When it came time to develop a marketing strategy for the series, we looked for partners whose history and brand aligned with the period or illustrated an important theme within the series. The partnership with Bloomingdale's allows us to promote Boardwalk Empire and their Fall line inspired by the 1920s in a unique and unprecedented way."
If you're in New York City, check out the store windows at Bloomingdale's New York and the 1920s inspired scenes in the windows. "Boardwalk Empire" cast members Michael K Williams and Vincent Piazza are also featured on the cover of Bloomies fall Men's Catalogue. Look for the catalogue in the stores. I wonder if the real-life crime boss, Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, who the character of Nucky Thompson is based on, shopped at Bloomingdales for his suits. It was there when he was running Atlantic City.
I have watched the first episode and I liked it, I found it really interesting. I need to catch up on the second episode today!

Frank Lee is a culinary trailblazer in Charleston. As the executive chef of Slightly North of Broad, Old Village Post House and High Hammock, and also the vice president of Maverick Southern Kitchens, it is difficult to find a chef in Charleston who hasn't worked with him or benefitted from his generosity and willingness to share his knowledge.
Q: Did you go to culinary school?
A: I did not. I started a vegetarian restaurant right out of high school. I really wanted to be a psychiatrist but worked at a psychiatric institute for a while, and it just wasn't what I thought it would be. I wanted Jungian analysis; they focused on drug therapy. So after six years in the veggie restaurant, I woke up one day and realized that I was a cook.
Q: Would you advise aspiring chefs to go to school?
A: If you can afford culinary school, it is a great thing. I think the best thing to do, however, is to get a job in a restaurant and just do it. Whether you are in school or not, you need the practical experience. I would hire someone without culinary school experience; it just depends on the person and their qualifications.
Q: How do you juggle three restaurants, particularly when one (High Hammock) is 90 miles away?
A: Lots of communication and cooperation is the main thing. One of the ways I'm able to do it is that we have a strong senior management team here at Maverick. I don't do it alone.
Q: What do you cook at home?
A: Well for Christmas, we had lobster and roasted duck. Usually, I cook some sort of stir-fry, steaks for my 15-year-old son, who is on the wresting team, and breakfast. ... I love to cook breakfast.
Q: What mistakes do you see home cooks make?
A: Trying to cook by time. It drives me crazy when someone asks, "How long does it take to cook." There are so many variables that it is an impossible question. Overcooking vegetables is another problem that I often see. All you have to do is blanch them in salted water; if you boil the dickens out of them, they will overcook.
Q: What's your favorite cookbook?
A: "The Joy of Cooking" and "Le Repertoire de La Cuisine" are books that I use time and time again. They are great for reference.
Q: What's your signature dish?
A: Our signature dish is whatever seafood or animals we can find that are local and pair that with local, seasonal vegetables.
Q: Favorite kitchen gadget?
A: Robot Coupe, or a stove.
Q: What do you think is your greatest accomplishment as a chef?
A: Being able to coach and mentor others and watch them develop. I have former sous chefs all over the country that are now running restaurants.
Q: Who is your favorite Charleston chef?
A: I love the chefs at all of the Maverick restaurants. We have a relationship, and I love to dine in my own restaurants. That being said, I certainly have a group of chef buddies that I have a great deal of respect for: Bob Waggoner, Mike Lata, Robert Carter, Ken Vendrinsky, Donald Barickman. ... I love everything that they do.

The Evolution of the BlogHer Conference: Trade Show VS InspirationCecily Kellogg
I haven't been truly with BlogHer from the beginning, even though this was my fifth conference; by the time I showed up in 2008 it was already attended by over 1000 bloggers, and was well on the way to establishing itself as THE definitive conference for women who blog.
But this year it felt decidedly different. The attendance increase over last year was greater than all of those that attended in 2008. It was crowded, it was hot, it was busy, the keynotes were bigger and more famous than ever, and the private parties off site were bigger and crazier too (I heard at least one off-site party had a line two blocks long).
While I realize my experience this year was definitely colored by working on the expo floor for a client this year, it seems to me that BlogHer felt more like a trade show than a celebration of blogging this time around.
My friend Robyn put it very well when she said to me, "It's become a hobbyist and consumer event." I think that's an interesting observation; it's definitely clear that in the evolution of blogging particularly for women that blog, and yes, that tends to slant heavily toward the moms who blog the consumer end of business is winning over the personal writing that was the primary aspect of blogging when BlogHer started.
This isn't bad news, at all. In fact, it's more evidence that the power of women is being acknowledged and respected. Companies know that women make consumer decisions in their homes, and therefore want to court us. This is good for us, for sure.
At the closing keynote, the founders of BlogHer also spoke about the economic reality of blogging: last year, BlogHer paid bloggers 17 million dollars to over 4500 bloggers last year, and they are working to expand the ways that bloggers can earn money with their influence. Their goals are lofty enough that I've begun considering hosting BlogHer ads again on my personal site because, yeah. WHOA.
There is no longer an argument to be made about blogging and monetization. Blogging is about money for most of us, now. The blogging economy for women is large and growing daily.
The only question remains, I think, in HOW we do it. Money is here to stay in the world of blogging, and like BlogHer, there are plenty of growing pains. What do you think the conversation needs to be focused on now? Ethics? Behavior? Quality?
I'm very interested in your thoughts.

Hi! I'm Jessica Jones, a graphic designer with a blog called How About Orange, featuring lots of make-it-yourself projects. Awhile back I helped plan a "Colorful Birthday Party" for a friend. This included simple decorations and invitations I could print on my home inkjet printer. Imagining that other folks might find this useful, I've converted them into an editable PDF you can download here. Open the file in Adobe Reader (download it free right here if you need it) and edit the text fields to customize for your party. Print page one, flip the sheet over, print page two on the back, and slice the sheet into quarters. Insert into colored envelopes (A2 size is perfect) and you're done.
You can print the flower pages (also in the pdf) double-sided, cut them out, and hang them in windows or doorways. Tape a series along a string to make a garland, or print them at a reduced size, laminate them with clear contact paper, trim, and you've got matching drink coasters.
Be sure to provide plenty of brightly colored snacks and fruity drinks for the party! Use a bright table cloth and plates, a rainbow array of lit candles, and tell your guests to pull their red pantsuits out of the closet.
A playlist of songs with colors in the lyrics would be the icing on the cake: Pink Cadillac? Purple Rain? Yellow Submarine? Leave your suggestion in the comments!

I love a happy theme. This is perfect and the things you can do with color for your theme are endless.
Really fun post, Jessica. Giving away the templates is icing on the cake. So cool of you!
10Kari SAYS:
About bright colored frosting. . . Be sure you are using paste food coloring and not the liquid kind. Paste colors are found in craft stores in the cake decorating section. Red being a particularly difficult color to get, Wilton makes a "No Taste Red." Also, if you ever want to make black icing, start with cholcolate icing before adding black paste food coloring. Hope that helps!

A quick look at the 2011-12 Connecticut Huskies:
Reason to believe: Look, it's quite obvious Kemba Walker was the driving force behind Connecticut's incredible run to the 2011 NCAA title. Not only was he a gifted player, but he was an exceptional leader, too. It will not be easy to replace what Walker contributed. But if you think Walker won that title alone, you're just being silly. Jimmer Fredette could carry BYU only as far as the Sweet 16, and he could score 40 almost at will. Nearly everything else that made UConn a champion remains in place. Jim Calhoun remains the coach. Shabazz Napier can handle things at point guard, which he did for so much of the second half last season. Alex Oriakhi will be at least a great rebounder and defender — and promises to be more as a junior. Roscoe Smith is one of the most promising young players in college. And Jeremy Lamb, who made the biggest shots in UConn's wins over Arizona and Butler, showed he can handle being the team's primary scoring option by doing just that for Team USA at the Under-19 World Championships. Even if the Huskies hadn't added center Andre Drummond, a physical specimen on the order of Dwight Howard, they would be terrific. But they did add him in the summer. UConn traditionally leads the NCAA in blocked shots. That'll happen again. Just watch.
Reason to worry: The Huskies might be one injury from having to play 6-8 DeAndre Daniels at guard. With freshman Ryan Boatright's eligibility under scrutiny, UConn is painfully thin at guard. It's Napier at the point, Lamb at the shooting guard and—what? Niels Giffey probably can handle some minutes at shooting guard, but the bigger UConn is at guard the less it can attack the ball defensively in its traditional manner. The Huskies already figure to be a bit less pugnacious and physical defending opposing shooting guards with Lamb there. They will not be a great jumpshooting team. Again, it's Napier and Lamb and—what? Smith can make shots but is not a shooter. Giffey has not shown great ability in this area. It's not a tremendous weakness for the Huskies, but it's no strength.
Impact newcomer: Drummond flirted with the idea of spending another year in prep school and then trying to enter the 2012 NBA Draft, which would have been a mistake for two reasons: 1) He'd have wasted a year when he could have been developing with high-level coaching and competition; 2) It's possible the age limit for the draft could change at the end of NBA collective bargaining negotiations. Drummond needs to know what it's like to play against big bodies and sophisticated defensive schemes. And once he figures out how to deal with both of those—which might not take too long—he could deliver some dominant moments. Drummond is a tremendous athlete and excellent passer. He lacks polished low-post moves, but then so does Dwight Howard—and he's the best center in the NBA. Sometimes, if you're just that much bigger, stronger and more dynamic than your opponent, there's nothing your foe can do.
The big games: Would you believe it's Harvard? Sorry, but that's the truth. No offense to Harvard, which has a chance to be a sensational Ivy League team, but one would not expect the Crimson to be the best non-league opponent for a national-championship contender. This will send lots of analysts into histrionics, because they believe the only way to schedule is to plow through the most difficult set of opponents possible. They believe this mostly because they want to see as many exciting matchups as possible. UConn has won titles with a brutal non-league schedule (2011) and with an average non-league schedule ('04). Calhoun recognizes that what gets a team ready for the NCAA Tournament is league competition. The Big East will provide plenty, including a Feb. 25 home date vs. No. 6 Syracuse. That will be the second game between the two and could decide the Big East's regular-season title.

Mine has got to be Cedar Point's Maverick. It has speed, inversions, airtime, and a 95degree first drop. Best ride in the world.
I definently go to Cedar Point every year for a few days and I waited in line for three hours to get on this ride...I rode it...and then waited in line for two more hours to ride it again. This ride is the greatest. Millenium Force has the big first hill but after that it just has speed and small bumps. Dragster has a nice view from the top...I hope that my car won't make it over so I get to go again.

After last week's narrow loss to the 49ers on their home turf, this morning's away game against a fallen once-contender like the Giants can feel a bit underwhelming, but it's still pro football and it' still the Seahawks playing — what's not to love?
So long as the Hawks don't play down to the level of their competition like they did against the Buccaneers, they should come away with a solid victory in this one. On defense, this is an opportunity for the injury replacements to get comfortable in their positions before the playoffs start up. CBs Byron Maxwell and Jeremy Lane already got some reps in last week, but this will be LB Malcolm Smith's first full game in place of KJ Wright (yes, he started a few games earlier in the year, but that was at Bruce Irvin's spot — he's playing on the other side of the field now). Who knows, the way Eli has been playing lately Smith might get the chance to celebrate his return to the starting lineup with an interception or three.
On offense, I'd like to see the Seahawks use this game to rev their engines a bit. Versus San Francisco, the Hawks managed just four explosive plays all game long, less than half their usual average. I want to see Wilson throw some deep, accurate passes to his receivers, and I want to see Lynch and Turbin break loose for some long runs.
And if at all possible, I'd like to never see Jon Ryan get another punt blocked. C'mon coverage team, get your blocking assignments figured out!
Regarding the postseason, the Seahawks have already guaranteed themselves a playoff berth, but if they want to stay on top of the NFC standings they can't afford to start taking games off. If the Hawks win any two of their remaining three games then they'll secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs no matter how well anyone else in the conference does, but here's how they could cement their position today:
1) If the Seahawks win and the 49ers lose, the Seahawks will win the division today.
2) If the Seahawks win and both the 49ers and Saints lose, the Seahawks will win the division and the number one seed in the playoffs.

Lynyrd Skynyrd
was the definitive Southern rock band, fusing the overdriven power of blues-rock with a rebellious Southern image and a hard rock swagger.
never relied on the jazzy improvisations of
the Allman Brothers
. Instead, they were a hard-living, hard-driving rock & roll band -- they may have jammed endlessly on-stage, but their music remained firmly entrenched in blues, rock, and country. For many,
Lynyrd Skynyrd
's redneck image tended to obscure the songwriting skills of their leader,
Ronnie Van Zant
. Throughout the band's early records,
Van Zant
demonstrated a knack for lyrical detail and a down-to-earth honesty that had more in common with country than rock & roll. During the height of
's popularity in the mid-'70s, however,
Van Zant
's talents were overshadowed by the group's gritty, greasy blues-rock. Sadly, it wasn't until he was killed in a tragic plane crash in 1977 along with two other bandmembers that many listeners began to realize his talents.
split up after the plane crash, but they reunited a decade later, becoming a popular concert act during the early '90s.
While in high school in Jacksonville, FL,
Ronnie Van Zant
Allen Collins
(guitar), and
Gary Rossington
(guitar) formed My Backyard. Within a few months, the group added bassist
Leon Wilkeson
and keyboardist
Billy Powell
, and changed their name to
Lynyrd Skynyrd
, a mocking tribute to their gym teacher Leonard Skinner, who was notorious for punishing students with long hair. With drummer
Bob Burns
Lynyrd Skynyrd
began playing throughout the South. For the first few years, the group had little success, but producer
Al Kooper
signed the band to MCA after seeing them play at an Atlanta club called Funocchio's in 1972.
produced the group's 1973 debut,
Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd
, which was recorded after former
Strawberry Alarm Clock
Ed King
joined the band. The group became notorious for their triple-guitar attack, which was showcased on "Free Bird," a tribute to the recently deceased
Duane Allman
. "Free Bird" earned
Lynyrd Skynyrd
their first national exposure and it became one of the staples of album rock radio, still receiving airplay decades after its release.
"Free Bird" and an opening slot on
the Who
's 1973
tour gave
Lynyrd Skynyrd
a devoted following, which helped their second album, 1974's
Second Helping
, become its breakthrough hit. Featuring the hit single "Sweet Home Alabama" -- a response to
Neil Young
's "Southern Man" --
Second Helping
reached number 12 and went multi-platinum. At the end of the year,
Artimus Pyle
replaced drummer

Nuthin' Fancy
in 1975, and it became the band's first Top Ten hit. The record was followed by the
Tom Dowd
Gimme Back My Bullets
in 1976, which failed to match the success of its two predecessors. However, the band retained their following through constant touring, which was documented on the double live album
One More from the Road
. Released in late 1976, the album featured the band's new guitarist,
Steve Gaines
, and a trio of female backup singers, and it became
's second Top Ten album.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
released their sixth album,
Street Survivors
, on October 17, 1977. Three days later, a privately chartered plane carrying the band between shows in Greenville, SC, and Baton Rouge, LA, crashed outside of Gillsburg, MS.
Ronnie Van Zant
Steve Gaines
, and his sister
, one of the group's backing vocalists, died in the crash; the remaining members were injured. (The cause of the crash was either fuel shortage or a fault with the plane's mechanics.) The cover for
Street Survivors
had pictured the band surrounded in flames; after the crash, the cover was changed. In the wake of the tragedy, the album became one of the band's biggest hits.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
broke up after the crash, releasing a collection of early demos called
Skynyrd's First and...Last
in 1978; it had been scheduled for release before the crash. The double-album compilation
Gold & Platinum
was released in 1980.
Later in 1980,
formed a new band -- naturally named
Rossington Collins Band
-- that featured four surviving members. Two years later,

began recording in 1991, and for the remainder of the decade, the band toured frequently, putting out albums occasionally. The reunited
frequently switched drummers, but it had little effect on their sound.
During the '90s,
Lynyrd Skynyrd
were made honorary colonels in the Alabama State Militia, due to their classic rock staple "Sweet Home Alabama." During the mid-'90s,

regrouped by adding two Southern rock veterans to

Rickey Medlocke
and ex-Outlaws
Hughie Thomasson

Damn Yankee
Michael Cartellone

. This lineup went on to release
Lyve from Steel Town
in 1998, followed a year later by
Edge of Forever
. The seasonal effort
Christmas Time Again
was released in fall 2000. Although
died one year later,
Lynyrd Skynyrd
regrouped and recorded
Vicious Cycle
for a 2003 release. The DVD/CD
Lyve: The Vicious Cycle Tour

Ean Evans

A new studio album, Last of a Dyin' Breed, produced by Bob Marlette, recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, and featuring a new bass player, Johnny Colt (formerly a bassist for the Black Crowes), appeared in 2012.

UNU-EHS Report Analyzes Climate-Water-Security Nexus
2 September 2013: The UN University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) released a report, titled 'Climate Change, Water Conflicts and Human Security: Regional Assessment and Policy Guidelines for the Mediterranean, Middle East and Sahel,' which examines whether climate change undermines human security by intensifying water hazards, such as droughts, floods and water scarcity. The report also assesses vulnerability in relation to climate change-related hazards.
The report concludes that climate, hydrological, institutional, political and socioeconomic factors contribute to human insecurity by exacerbating intra- and inter-State conflicts and social tensions. It highlights stronger links between water-related conflicts and political and socioeconomic factors than between water conflicts and climatic factors. While the report identifies democracy and good institutions as the most important variables, it cautions that the importance of each factor is context-specific.
The report emphasizes that adaptation processes influence the effects of climate change on human security. It recommends a normative adaptive framework for all actors and assessing which human security aspects can and should be traded for others.
Policymakers can improve adaptive capacity, reduce vulnerabilities and increase human security, according to the report. It recommends, inter alia: promoting and strengthening institutional accountability and functioning; strengthening civil protection and social security systems; improving capacity to implement policies; developing conflict resolution mechanisms; supporting flexible policy cycles, including early warning systems; and mainstreaming climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction (DRR).
The report is the result of collaboration among UNU-EHS and 13 international research teams, as part of the Climate Change, Hydro-conflicts and Human Security (CLICO) project.

A half dozen pairing suggestions; does your mouse match your keyboard?
Subject: General Tech | September 11, 2014 - 03:10 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, corsair, logitech, Mad Catz, razer, roccat, steelseries, gaming mouse, keyboard, round up
The end of summer brings more than just pretty coloured leaves, you can also expect to see round ups of products released this year. The Register has put together an article looking at the best mice and keyboards for gamers which are currently available. In most cases they pair a keyboard and mouse from the same company so that your desk will look impressive with matching peripherals. It is not just about the aesthetics though, they also provide you with an overview of what features make each pairing unique and the features that should intrigue you. Check it out right here.
"In the case of the keyboards and mice I'm reviewing, it might be difficult to put forward a convincing argument that they are to blame, as they are all developed to make the very best of my gaming talents, but often this comes at a preposterous price."

Tagged: usb, peripherals, input, gaming mouse, gaming keyboard, controller
The Tech Report delves into their favourite peripherals available on the market in this article, covering displays, keyboards, mice and all the other goodies you can attach to your PC. The brand new G-SYNC 1440p monitor from ASUS of course makes an appearance but there is much more covered than just your display. A half dozen wired keyboards and three wireless ones made the grade along with a similar number of mice and even controllers are ranked to give you an informed choice about the current market. They even delve into external audio and storage options so if you have a few unused USB ports head on over and see if you can't find something to fill them.
"In this second edition of the peripheral staff picks, we've reworked the display section with the latest 4K and G-Sync monitors in mind. We've also updated the other sections to account for price fluctuations, changes in product availability, and findings from our latest round of reviews. The result should be, we hope, a more informative and up-to-date resource for your back-to-school shopping needs."

Introduction, Hardware, and Subjective Feel
This review comes before the end of the pre-order period. The reason why I targeted that deadline is because the pre-order perks are quite significant. First, either version of the mouse is listed for about $50 off of its MSRP (which is half price for the plastic version). EVGA also throws in a mouse pad for registering your purchase. The plastic mouse is $49.99 during its pre-order period ($99.99 MSRP) and its carbon fiber alternative is $79.99 ($129.99 MSRP). EVGA has supplied us with the plastic version for review.
Being left-handed really puts a damper on my choice of gaming mice. If the peripheral is designed to contain thumb buttons, it needs to either be symmetric (because a right hand's thumb buttons would be controlled by my pinky or ring finger) or be an ergonomic, curved mouse which comes in a special version for lefties that is mirrored horizontally (which is an obvious risk, especially when the market of left-handed gamers is further split by those who learned to force themselves to use right-handed mice).
EVGA goes all out with their first gaming mouse

Tagged: input, evga, gaming mouse, TORQ X10
We first saw the EVGA TORQ X10 at CES and recently one arrived at Scott's doorstep so we will have a full review in the near future. If you can't wait to see what this mouse is capable of you can check this review at Hardware Canucks even if you cannot buy the mouse until towards the end of this month. Not only can you adjust the weight of this mouse, the hand rests can be raised and lowered to ensure it fits perfectly in your palm. If you are wondering why this model is more expensive, it is because it has a carbon fibre shell as opposed to ordinary plastic.
"The TORQ X10 may be EVGA's first gaming mouse but its design, feature set and excellent build quality competes with some of the best peripherals available today."

Tagged: mouse, laser mouse, gaming mouse, evga
It has been a while since I reviewed hardware and, when I did, they were all keyboards. Being a southpaw, it is fairly difficult to review higher-end mice. When offered to review the EVGA Torq X10 Gaming Mouse, I noticed that it is a (nearly) symmetric design with nine (9) buttons: five (5) on the top, two (2) on the left for right-handed thumbs, and two (2) more, identical buttons on the right for left-handed thumbs.
Of course, the off-hand buttons can still be used for time-insensitive commands, like pinging the map of a strategy game. Personally, I tend to rebind mouse sensitivity to the pinky-buttons and rebind what is usually meant for DPI adjustments to pinging maps or, on games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2, fly up and down (for the UAV).
A quick unboxing shows the underside of the mouse, an accessory pouch made out of paper with a getting started guide and what looks to be sticker-based grips, a plastic bag of weights, and that metal thing beside the mouse is a torx screwdriver. This screwdriver is what will be used to customize the palm angle by turning its adjustment at the rear of the mouse.
While I have not yet plugged it in, I did play around with its grip adjustment. You probably will not notice its effects unless you are looking for it, but it does result in significant changes to the touch. I will discuss this, and its other features, more in my upcoming full review.
As for pricing, EVGA is currently accepting pre-orders through Newegg. The base version is available for $49.99 (pre-order price, $99.99 MSRP) with a "carbon fiber" version, an identical mouse outside of the surface material, also on pre-order for $69.99 (pre-order price, $129.99 MSRP). It is unclear whether they will ever make it up to their MSRP but, if they do, an almost half-price pre-order (with a free mouse pad if you pre-order, register your mouse, and upload your invoice, apparently) is pretty gigantic.
It is expected to ship in a month (late June). I hope to have at least a preliminary review, if not a full one, up with time left for pre-orders.
Almost 20 minutes of hot steamy mouse video

Tagged: gaming mouse, corsair, Raptor M45, Vengeance M65, Vengeance M95
The Tech Report have put together several mouse reviews into a single video, giving you a chance to hear about their features while watching a little gaming action at the same time. The low cost Raptor M45 is shown fragging bots in every Frog's favourite FPS, as is the slightly more expensive Vengeance M65. However UT2K doesn't really have enough keybindings to show off the 15 buttons on the Vengeance M95 and so a popular game in which clicks per second count is shown off. Check out the video review and consider offering feedback on the YouTube channel if that content is something you'd like to see more of.

A monster of a mouse, the Gila from Genius
Subject: General Tech | February 17, 2014 - 01:42 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gila, genius, GX, gaming mouse
Gaming mice have been changing over the past few years, no longer is having adjustable DPI enough to satisfy gamers, they want to be able to modify the X and Y axis independently and want huge amounts of programmable buttons. The Gila from Genius is capable of both, indeed it can have 72 different mappings for the 10 buttons thanks to the 32K of onboard storage. The MSRP is $65, if that is within your budget head over to Hi Tech Reviews to see their opinion of the mouse.
"The Gila by Genius, a part of their GX Gaming line of PC gaming peripherals, is a mouse designed for MMO and RTS gaming. Genius, using the brand GX Gaming, has released the Gila gaming mouse which has eight additional buttons, adjustable weight, and adjustable DPI, from 200 up through 8200. "

Roccat's trio of peripherals for the distinguished mouser
Subject: Memory | January 7, 2014 - 03:49 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: roccat, gaming mat, gaming mouse, mouse caddy
Up for review at Hardware Asylum is a trio of Roccat products, the Kone Pure Optical gaming mouse, the Hiro mousepad and the Apuri mouse cord caddy. The cord caddy is similar to other products we've seen in the past but the inclusion of powered USB 2.0 ports is an nice addition to an otherwise superfluous peripheral. The mousepad is made of stain resistant silicone and measures 350 x 250 x 2.5mm which should fit on most desks. The Kone mouse sports a 4000 DPI Pro-Optic sensor, 576kB on-board memory for macros as well as the ability for you to utilize your keyboard in conjunction with the mouse thanks to the rather comprehensive software suite.
"All paired together, the Kone Pure Optical, Apuri and Hiro make a nice setup that provides a lot of utility and versatility inside and out of games, and all without breaking the bank. This trio can be acquired for the cost of just a high grade laser mouse alone, and it will perform and feel great in many gaming and working environments."

Gigabyte's Aivia Uranium is more than just a wireless gaming mouse, you also get a receiver with a receiver that sports an OLED and displays what your current settings are. The report rate can be set from 125Hz to 1kHz and the DPI from 100 to 6500 on the fly. Counting the mouse wheel there are 10 programmable buttons which can handle macros as well as single push actions. At $120 it is quite expensive but HiTech Legion felt there were enough included functions to actually make it worth it for someone who needs more than just a mundane mouse.
"The Gigabyte Aivia Uranium is a one of a kind gaming mouse that comes with an OLED wireless receiver. The receiver's display enables the Aivia Uranium to control macros, program buttons, change sensitivity and polling rates without having to use software on the computer. There are 10 programmable buttons and a no-slip rubberized surface so that even the most intense gaming session won't go out of control."

A pair of gaming peripherals from CoolerMaster
Subject: General Tech | September 26, 2013 - 05:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, coolermaster, CM Storm, Havok, quickfire xt, gaming mouse, mechanical keyboard
Up for review at Overclockers Club is a pair of CM Storm peripherals, the Havok gaming mouse and the Quckfire XT mechanical keyboard. Their review unit had Cherry Blue switches but you can choose your favourite Cherry switch when you order the keyboard. For those who prefer a minimalistic looking keyboard with a lot of hidden features this is a great choice. The Havoc gaming mouse is also fairly plain looking and also hides a variety of features. This model is definitely a right handed mouse and best avoided by those with tiny hands but for right handed folks who like to have a hand full of mouse the Havoc could be the peripheral you are looking for.
"Overall I really enjoyed the CM Havoc gaming mouse. I usually don't go for the fat mice, but this is one you can definitely be a chubby chaser for and still be thought of as okay. It is definitely set to fancy those with a palm grip and despite having small hands there's not too much there. It is built nice and sturdy and even some rage smashes of the mouse have not shown any instant signs of loss. The little bit of lighting really adds to the mouse in my opinion; for some reason I fall into the category of loving a little bit of customization through a little bit of lighting on my peripherals. The lighting is subtle enough and you can turn it off completely without it looking like it is broken. I didn't like that I couldn't have my full RGB spectrum, but I can settle with the standard options provided. The mouse glides quite well even on the cheapest of mouse pads and is great for many hours of game play, work, and whatever else you use your mouse for. It's just a nice simple connection between you and your machine."

Our world is advancing and changing right before our very eyes at an unprecedented speed. Today's innovation will become yesterday's news sooner than we think. How will we ever keep up? Will the knowledge I have today be relevant tomorrow? That seems like a difficult question to answer, but we can do it. How, you ask? Well, through technology of course. Technology is what helps stay relevant in a world of constant change.
The only problem with this is that because there is so much of it, it can be difficult to choose one technology over another. In light of this challenge, I wanted to share some of my top tech tools that I have either used and/or reviewed heavily, so without further adieu and in no particular order, here are my TOP 10 TECHNOLOGY TRENDS IN THE MEETINGS INDUSTRY:
Online Communities
Blind introductions are the worst at in-person events and if people don't know each other prior to, it's easy for things to get a little awkward. An online community can put the participants at ease with "meet and greet" forums, Virtual booths, live Q&A, chat sessions, etc., to create a more positive and engaged event experience.
Industry Network/Event Marketing
This could be the Google + of the meetings industry. BoB.tv or "Best Of Business" is an industry-specific content curation platform. This is a one-stop-shop for information about work, career, and life management targeted specifically for meeting professionals. It is a newer platform so it hasn't gained the popularity just yet, but it is definitely something to keep on the radar.
Mobile Event App
Creating a mobile app for your event has become an industry best practice and native apps are the way to go. As far as mobile event apps go, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out and it gives you a lot of options. Import map pins, integrate social feeds, upload event content, manage the onsite experience, and more but without all the hassle.
Social Network Management
You have to be on multiple channels these days to make an impact, but surfing them doesn't have to seem like a waste of time. This social media command center puts you in the right conversation at the right time with pre-scheduled posting options and helps you find out if you're being heard with analytics, all from one place.
Site Inspection
You don't have to be an expert, but you should be able to make an informed decision the next time you strike up the bandwidth conversation. The next time you visit the site, just plug in your info and instantly receive capability ratings on guest rooms, meeting rooms, and public spaces.
Travel Management
You shouldn't have to slow down to keep up. Stay on top of your game and easily track business travel even when you're on the go. Bring some color back into your travel logistics with this red hot app!
Virtual/Hybrid Events
Has meeting attendance gone down? Rather than trying to catch the red eye, try broadcasting an event remotely. Virtual and hybrid meetings have become wildly popular because you can meet with others in another room, another region, or even another country. Meet whenever and wherever, easily and productively in a professional fashion.
Project Management
Cross one more thing off your list with handy dandy to do list app. No more staying up at night wondering if you forgot to do something. You can create virtual lists to make sure that you get everything done without ever having to put a pen to paper, unless you really want to.
Scheduling – Calendaring
You manage countless schedules, but who is managing yours? Don't forget that you have a life too. Keep the work/life balance in order and make your days easier to manage with this intuitive calendar tool.
Organizational Tools
From presenter notes to staging ideas to conference binders, put it all into Evernote and instantly synchronize it to other devices and platforms. If you're having trouble keeping it together these days then this multi-use, cross-functional tool could make your life a lot easier.
Bonus! Just for Fun
Saturday Night Live – Tech Talk
There is a wide variety of tools out there to help you become better at what you are already doing. Tools that will help you work smarter, not harder and that will help make your everyday life a tad bit easier to manage. The things we are capable of today will be miniscule in comparison to what we will be capable of tomorrow. Technology is the only thing that will prepare us for today, tomorrow, and 10 years from now.
If you are into all things tech then you'll really enjoy this month's industry webinar on July 24th at 10am EST:
How Technology is Changing Events
Join Julius Solaris, Editor of Event Manager Blog for an overview of the tools, tech and platforms available to event professionals who want to better promote and increase engagement at their event.

Ubucleaner Features
-- Clean apt cache
-- Remove config files left from uninstalled .deb packages(it happens if you don't use the
--purge switch with apt-get)
-- Remove every kernel except the one you are using
-- Empty the trashes of every user(including root)
It uses apt and the kernel removing thing searches for ubuntu-only packages, so it can't work on non-debian system and the result is undetermined for other debian-based system, but you can still use the other features of the script(you'll just have to comment the parts you don't want).
The script assumes that you are using the text-based Aptitude application, rather than apt-get and dpkg. If you are not using Aptitude, you should also replace the reference to aptitude clean with apt-get clean and the reference to aptitude purge to dpkg --purge.This can be done done by editing the following script.
First you need to download the script from here or using the following command
wget http://www.opendesktop.org/CONTENT/content-files/71529-ubucleaner.sh
Now you should have 71529-ubucleaner.sh file you need to give execute permissions using the following command
sudo chmod +x 71529-ubucleaner.sh

Debbie on the Blue Team
Debbie Lounds' Biggest Loser 12 Journey
The first challenge of season 12 began in the desert, before the contestants had even reached the Biggest Loser ranch. The contestants were divided into teams by age, and then had to race across a mile of desert to select their team's trainer. Debbie joined the "Over 50" team, along with John Forger, Mike Danley, Bonnie Griffen and Becky Comet.
As the oldest team, they decided that the top priority was just to finish the mile long race, so they walked the entire way. They became the blue team, led by Anna Kournikova, who is one of the new trainers joining the Biggest Loser this season.Next Prev Slide 2 / 5

Authorities apprehended 59 men who were riding on buses chartered by Phillip Hallmark, head of Hallmark Industrial LLC, in the Southeast Texas town of Winnie, according to Fox 4 in Beaumont, Texas. Hallmark Industrial was subcontracted to do spill cleanup work by Garner Environmental Services, the main contractor used on the oil spill response by Enbridge Inc.
Forty-two of the 59 men arrested were undocumented immigrants, the station reported.
Immigration officials took the men to a holding facility in Houston, according to the station. About 40 men escaped authorities.
Garner severed ties with Hallmark on Monday after a report by the Michigan Messenger, an online news and public policy website, alleged that Hallmark was using hundreds of undocumented workers on the cleanup, paying them in cash and making them work 12 to 14 hours a day.
The Messenger article prompted U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer, D-Battle Creek, to send a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Dept. of Labor calling on both agencies to investigate the undocumented worker allegations.
"Enbridge needs to live up to the commitment it made to our community, be a good neighbor, and start hiring qualified Michigan workers to clean up the spill," Schauer said in a statement Wednesday night issued in response to the arrests in Texas.
"Our community repeatedly asked the EPA and Enbridge to use local labor, and the fact that Enbridge allowed one of its contractors to hire illegal immigrants is appalling."

Pounds Away!
Triathlete Judy Molnar Inspires Couch Potatoes to Run from Obesity
And this time it worked. Following the simple mantra of "eat less and move more," Molnar started running, biking and swimming—albeit slowly at first. "I knew I had to walk before I could run," she says with a laugh, "and I mean that literally." The first time she jogged a mile, it took 17 minutes. Now 140 lbs. lighter (at 6'1", she weighs 210 lbs.) and six dress sizes slimmer (from 26 to 14), Molnar is running sub-nine-minute miles—five miles a day five times a week—and has competed in 25 triathlons, her first just seven months after she started training. And she's eager to spread the word that if she can do it, so can anyone else.
Anyone like Rosie O'Donnell. After Molnar competed in the Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii in 1998, Rosie invited her to move to New York City and become coach of her Chub Club, which had signed up 300,000 viewers who vowed to get into shape. In May 1999, after five months of training, 12,000 of them—including O'Donnell—finished a five-kilometer run. "Judy was a great inspiration to all of the Chub Club members," says O'Donnell, who featured Molnar on her show throughout last year. No longer on the show, the bubbly and perpetually positive Molnar now motivates others with a new book, You Don't Have to Be Thin to Win (Villard Books, $19.95), which shows how to gradually incorporate healthy eating and exercise into their lives.
Molnar herself never lacked motivation as a child. The fourth of five children born to Emery, 65, a retired security chief, and Evelyn, 64, a retired computer-support worker, in South Bend, Ind., Molnar loved sports. In middle school, she told her dad she wanted to try out for baseball. "I said, 'Don't you mean the Softball team, Judy?' " recalls Emery. "She said, 'No, Dad, I mean the baseball team. You know, the smaller, harder ball. With the boys.' Well, she did go out for the baseball team, and she made it."
Always the tallest kid in her class, Molnar embraced her amazonian stature. Her idol was Babe Didrikson Zaharias, the legendary golfer and Olympic track-and-field star who died in 1956. "She could do anything she wanted, and she was big," Molnar says. "I thought big was a good thing, something to aspire to." But her body image deteriorated after she went to Clemson University on a volleyball scholarship and a coach pushed her to diet down from her fit 180 lbs. to 150 lbs. "I started to resent working out because I felt I was in the best shape I had ever been in," says Molnar. After graduating in 1989, she took a desk job as an account executive in St. Joseph, Mich., and, she says, "each year I got a little heavier."
So 10 years later, when she crossed the finish line of the Hawaii Ironman and "the whole crowd that lined the route started chanting, 'Judy, Judy,' " says her dad, "it just brought tears to my eyes. It's something just about everybody told her she would never be able to do."
By exceeding these low expectations, "Judy changes a lot of lives," says her pal Paula Newby-Fraser, 38, a world-class triathlete and Molnar's partner in the Iron Girl athletic clothing line for plus-size women. When she defeats more experienced or thinner competitors, Newby-Fraser adds, "I know that often those athletes are thinking, 'Hey, this fat chick just beat me in a race.' It's wonderful!"
But according to Molnar, it shouldn't matter what anyone says. "It isn't the media's fault for your self-esteem problems," says Molnar, who recently moved to San Diego to be near fiancé Rick Wilson, 36, a Navy petty officer first class, whom she met while training for a triathlon. "If you accept yourself, it makes things easier. I'm a big girl. I'm okay with that."

A wide, fast road (Hwy-261) connects Mérida with the Gulf coast to the north, first passing the ancient Maya complex of Dzibilchaltún, then arriving after 36km in the port of Progreso, on which meridanos descend en masse in summer. Due west of Mérida, the little village of Celestún offers a very different coastal experience from Progreso, being surrounded by a large nature reserve. In fact, most people hit the beach only after taking a boat tour around a long inlet that's home to a massive flamingo colony.

Were it not for its amazing flamingo-filled lagoon, Celestún, 93km west of Mérida, would be little more than a one-boat fishing village. It's literally the end of the road, dead-straight for most of the drive through the forest, until you emerge and cross a bridge to the end of a sandbar on the northwest coast of the peninsula. The town has grown a tiny bit in the twenty-first century (with an ATM and a petrol station, finally), but still has a castaway feel; it's busy only on occasional Sundays and during Mexican holidays.
The beach is wide, and the sea is cloudy yet clean – but it's the birds in the 600-square-kilometre Ría Celestún Biosphere Reserve here that are the real draw. A typical boat tour takes in the flamingos, most numerous from November to May, when blue-winged teal and shovellers also migrate. Dedicated birders can hire a skilled guide, or, if you want something more active, you can bike and canoe through the mangroves.

In their design for the new Grand Stade Lille Métropole stadium, the planners have succeeded in creating an architectural and medial masterwork in one. The main façade of the multi-purpose stadium devised by French architectural firms Valode & Pistre and Pierre Ferret is dressed in "DOGLA-TRIO 1030" metal wire mesh cladding covering a total surface area of 2,046 square-meters. Manufactured by HAVER & BOECKER, it boasts a semi-transparent surface that shimmers in the sunlight. At the same time, the stainless steel mesh protects the stadium's interior from excessive sunlight as well as being easy-to-clean, maintenance-free and non-combustible.
Furthermore, at the stadium's main entrance the façade functions as a transparent media façade, called the "Image Weave", which can communicate or announce information on what is going on inside the stadium to the outside world using a range of graphics, lighting and videos. A total of 4.3 kilometers of high-performance LED profiles were installed in the mesh cladding to do the job. At 20 meters in height and 120 in width, the façade's 70,000 pixels form three different resolution ranges and thus offer three distinct options for providing visual entertainment: a square screen used for videos, an oblong screen tracking the score, and an extensive background screen for graphics and light shows.
The video is controlled via the "e:cue Lighting Control Server fx" and 25 "e:cue Video Micro Converters" by Traxon Technologies, which are located in a local control room. But it can also be controlled using a smartphone or tablet PC.
IMAGIC WEAVE® has transformed the façade of the Grand Stade Lille Métropole stadium into a multi-media playground, more than satisfying the complex demands placed on modern-day stadium architecture.

Live Music Is Back on Monday Nights
July 21, 2008 - Jim Price
It's the commonly-held notion that Mondays generally stink. It's back to work, school, household chores or whatever else is your own personal "grind." Recently, though, live music has returned to Monday nights in the Altoona area, to provide a chance to unwind after surviving the first day of the new work or school week.

March 22, 2011
Such a wicked idea AA only issue I take with it is - Why arent there more colours? If there were a lace that matched every hoodie available, itd allow your customers to customize their hoodie further ie mix match color combos etc I thought that was the whole principle of AA - make a standard piece, that comes in every which color way, your own. Just a thought. For now Ill just DIY dye mine.

i learned the hard way that washing my red hoody with the cord in would turn it pink - so glad i can buy a replacement!
(and an easier way to replace the cord is to safety pin the old cord end to the new cord end, then pull the old cord out by the other end!)

This is a genius idea.
And for anyone wondering, a great way to get these in your hoodie, is to put a safety pin through one end of the string so you have something to hold on to as you wiggle and feet it through. I hope that description makes sense :P

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. The drawcord in my Lapis hoody had a loose thread and I made the mistake of pulling it. A day later, it was totally wrecked. I need to buy a pack of these so bad!

Good job American Apparel!
Don't you just hate it when someone just pulls your drawcord right out of your hoody?
Now you can replace it with brand-spankin' new ones!
The only thing now is to get some more colors, but good start with the basics!

Bass pod XT and acoustic bass?

Hey there, I have a Bass Pod XT, and was wondering if it works with accoustic basses?
If so. I am very curious how it does that with only one input.
If not, is there a way to get around that?

The input is 1/4 inch mono, and will take any instrument level signal. If you are able to connect your acoustic bass to something that will produce that connection, it will work.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

After detailing her tough early years in a bestselling memoir, Fantasia, 22, acts out her troubled past for a Lifetime movie.
ON RELIVING HER LIFE FOR TV: At first I said, "Oh, no. Hell, no. I can't do that. No." I never did a movie. Oh, man, I went through so many emotions acting. I'm glad it's all out there now—that [past] life for me is over.
ON LETTING DAUGHTER ZION, 5, WATCH HER LIFE STORY: She already knows more than you think. She watches [TV interviews] and really pays attention. She'll ask me a lot of questions, my little lady.
ON FUTURE ROLES: I would love to act more. But music is always going to be first. I've got another album coming out. I wanna work with Jamie Foxx and Aerosmith.
