Got Any Gum
Memory Lane
(Joe Walsh)
Sometimes I dream of the future
And sometimes I travel down Memory Lane
With the Yesterday Daily Review
Memories carefully kept in a pile
Like newspapers stacked in the corner
To relive my yesterdays once in a while
Although they are faded and worn
They remind me
Once in a while
Of far away places and long ago names
Yesterdays back down the road that you came
Somewhere behind you down Memory Lane
Memory Lane -- down Memory Lane
And when my luck comes to the end of the line
Like old men you see in the subway
I'll thumb through the pages and take my last ride
With the Yesterday Daily Review
Right there beside me
To remind me
Once in a while
Of far away places and long ago names
Yesterdays back down the road that you came
Somewhere behind you down Memory Lane
Down Memory Lane -- down Memory Lane

Staying at home with my kids means I'm there through everything. Every smile, every hug, every "first." That also means I witness every tantrum, every skipped nap, the monotony, and I can't forget the body fluids. Oh, the body fluids. We may live on a university campus, but I think even our neighbors would be shocked by the amount of body fluids going on in here every day. I'm sure any parent who stays at home would agree that parenting in the trenches 24/7 can get really hard sometimes.
How I Came to Embrace Stay at Home Motherhood
When I found out I was going to be a mother, I had just moved to a new state with Hubster for our graduate programs. I had a five-year plan and having a baby wasn't on the list. The shock was immediate, quickly followed by hyperemesis which required me to drop out of grad school. There I was – extremely ill, jobless, a grad school dropout, about to become a mother at the age of 23.
What I Love About Being a SAHM
There are some days that I really wouldn't mind going back to work outside of the home. I do miss working in higher education sometimes, and when I have a particularly challenging day with C, the thought of going back seems very attractive.
Then I have moments with him when he's very cuddly or he sees me from across the room and runs up to me saying, "Mama!" I love when he says a new word or his eyes dance when I read him a story. It makes me laugh when his favorite song comes on and he starts bobbing his head and dancing. When he sees a dog on TV, he says "woof woof!"
One of THOSE Days
So yesterday was one of THOSE days. You know, the ones that make you want to run for the hills.
Or in this case, it made me want to run back to one of those cushy office jobs that I used to have. Where I spoke with ADULTS all day and didn't have to constantly pull a climbing toddler off of the furniture.
I usually take the path less traveled, and my journey to motherhood was no different. If you're not familiar with my story, I'll give you the abridged version. In July 2010, I was told I had PCOS (polycystic ovaries) and it would be difficult for me to conceive children. In August, I started graduate school and a graduate assistantship only to find out a week later that – surprise! – I was pregnant. I ended up with hyperemesis and was so ill that I could hardly leave our apartment. In early October, I was forced to withdraw from graduate school, thereby losing my job as well. I spent the majority of April 2011 experiencing false labor, and then after 2.5 hours of pushing I ended up with an emergency c-section on April 29. A long, slow spiral into postpartum depression ensued, but wasn't diagnosed until December 2011.
When Did I Become So Domestic?
Hubster gave me a Swiffer Wet Jet for my birthday. Why, you ask? I asked for it.
No, I literally asked for a Swiffer Wet Jet. I like clean floors.
I also received a cute little stainless steel trash can, a fantastic OXO salad spinner and an Everlast tower punching bag. Yeah, so that last one isn't very domestic but I do love to box.

The opening reception, free to the public, will be Friday, from 6 until 9 p.m.
The presentation, "Turn Off the Lights," will be showcasing Tawes' new art form that he has created: "LEDism," which is the art of painting to the technology of light to create color transformation and movement.
"Artists have painted how light plays upon the objects that are painted on to the canvas. What I have discovered is a way to paint that interacts with the spectrums of light that shine on the canvas," says Tawes.
There also will be more original artworks by Tawes, and the guest artist, Fred Kramer, will have his found-object sculptures on display for visitors' viewing pleasure.
The artworks will be on display April 3 through April 26.
Gallery 50, Inc. is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The sponsor for this exhibit is Woodland Country Day School.

Mexico Through the Avocado Lens
This is Enrique. He appeared at our lunch smack in the middle of an orchard with a pocket knife in hand. We ate black Haas avocados, picked ripe from the tree. They were still warm from the volcanic soil reflecting up on their dark bellies. They were not watery or stringy in the least. Avocado after avocado, these fruits were heavy in the hand, their slightly bumpy skins polished glossy black with a cloth. I sliced them in my palm, smashed them inside fresh tortillas, then drizzled them with avocado honey and pinches of Mexican sea salt. I had four of these sweet avocado tacos. My travel mate claims she had six. Entirely possible.
Each evening we returned to our homebase of Morelia, the capital city of the state of Michoacán. Coming in from the avocado orchards and the small indigenous towns, I loved feeling the energy shift from agrarian to a colonial municipality, teeming with lovers kissing in the streets, thumping discos, honking Volkswagen bugs, and bare lightbulbed carnitas stands. The street life is so bright here and food is central to the liveliness of the city.
The last day of the trip was a holiday called fiesta del niño de la salud (Holy Child of Good Health) so in each town we visited we saw giant groups of kids and adults marching all in white, waving flags and singing. At the end of the day as I walked around Morelia, I came across these slumber party angels in the cathedral parking lot. Clearly, the colors are still coming through for me. Despite how short this trip was, I am digesting it slowly. I travel a lot, and often to places where food is central to the culture, but to be engulfed with flavors the way this place engulfed me was beyond my expectations. You see, these are the flavors I grew up eating in Los Angeles; my great grandmother was Mexican, so I like to think these are also the foods that go way back in my blood stream. To visit the birthplace of those flavors is like digging down to the patina'd roots of an old flowering tree. The avocado — smooth, nutty, nourishing, sexy, dark and bright at the same time — seems the perfect metaphor for a first trip to Mexico. You get kicked over and hooked by the initial flavor and texture, but there is also something so rich and smooth about it, your adoration of it comes gently. I'm still processing the scenes, letting the colors slowly pop through. My love of this country is just beginning. Avocado Facts: • Mexico is the world leader in both production and consumption of avocados. • The exceptional flavor and texture of Mexican avocados cames from terrior: rich volcanic soil, mountain altitudes, sub-tropical sun and abundant rainfall create the ideal microclimate. • Mexican avocados are available year-round. Peak season is from September though May, but because of the varying altitudes in Michoacán, growers are able to harvest four and sometimes five times a year.

FOR better or for worse, Angola's battle-hardened alliance of the ruling MPLA party and the oil industry emerged from an electoral challenge looking as formidable as before.
President Jose Eduardo dos Santos and the sophisticated elite which surrounds him may have had a few nervous moments in the days before the vote on Friday. His security was tighter than ever, the turnout at his final campaign rally was nothing to write home about, and the cruel divide between rich and poor came under a glaring spotlight.
By the weekend, he and the MPLA had put all that behind them.
They were heading for total victory. With most of the ballots counted by the National Electoral Commission, the party and its president had trounced the combined opposition by a margin of three to one.
"Foreign investors like political stability" was the simple and probably accurate assessment of a young expatriate manager working in the oil services industry.
If they serve their full terms until 2017, Mr dos Santos will have been president for 38 years and the party will have been in office for 42.
As the election outcome was confirmed, the expatriate sipped an evening cocktail with his wife at one of the new beach-side restaurants on the Ilha do Cabo, a long spit of land forming Luanda's glorious bay. The bay was what caught the eye of Portuguese navigator Paulo Dias de Novais in 1576. It remains an attraction today for moneyed Angolans and foreigners.
Angola is Africa's second-largest oil producer, producing about 1.8-million barrels of crude a day. Liquefied natural gas is growing fast, Angolan diamonds have been the stuff of legend for many years, and the economy grew at an annual average of 15% between 2002 and 2008. After a dip — in line with the world recession — the trend is up again this year with projections of 8 % growth.
A rapid growth spurt was inevitable after the end of a 27-year civil war between the MPLA and the late Jonas Savimbi's Unita, which began at independence in 1975. The MPLA won that brutal conflict and is now reaping the peace dividend.
That is where Angola's problems start. Many believe that Mr dos Santos, his family and the ruling party's leadership need to start listening.
One in two Angolans live on $2 a day. Secondary school enrolment is said by some indicators to be about 10%, creating a dramatic skills shortage youth unemployment of at least 50 %.
"If Angola doesn't change, the situation will be very grave," said Jose Severino, the president of the Industrial Association of Angola. It lobbies for companies big and small and is waging an uphill battle to build the private sector in a centralised economy dominated by state-owned oil giant Sonangol.
"This is what happens when you mix business with too much politics. Sonangol and the party have holding companies, compulsory shares in almost every business; they are everywhere," said Mr Severino.
He echoes a widely, if timidly, expressed view in business circles that the "lobby" of party and presidential business interests, linked to favoured corporate and energy investors — particularly in Portugal, China, Brazil and France — is crowding out badly needed new investors.
The status quo means reform towards a market economy is not in the interests of the elite whose members get a slice of all of the action, including imported goods that could be made locally or imported from SA or other Southern African Development Community (Sadc) members.
But before Angola can benefit from low-tariff imports from Sadc it will have to sign the free trade zone treaty — a step which has no obvious advantages for beneficiaries of the current set-up. Their personal wealth is enviously observed in some of the world's high-rolling circles with a particular penchant for the south of France.
The government is in the process of spending $150bn on an upgrade of the country's infrastructure, everything from roads, bridges, ports, railways, housing and hotels.
The people should be satisfied and the election results might imply that they are.
Certainly Unita, with about 18% of the vote compared with 10% in the last polls in 2008, gives no sign that it can convince the majority it is capable of running a country much less sophisticated than Angola.
"Unita has shown that it is a very feeble opposition party at the moment," said Rafael Marques, a rights and anticorruption activist and critic of what he says is a greedy and immoral elite.
Dismissing the election outcome, Mr Marques said sarcastically: "I don't think it will have an impact on foreign investors. This kind of impunity is reassuring to investors."
The MPLA's campaign slogan promised better distribution of a growing national cake and there were hints that Mr dos Santos, who turned 70 before the polls, might step down before the end of his next term and be replaced by his deputy, former Sonangol boss Manuel Vicente.
The government has begun Angolanisation policies for jobs and companies — not racially defined like those in SA but certain to be popular if they are enacted. But for the social tide to turn, the establishment will need to listen to educated young people with no magic password into the golden world of the MPLA aristocrats.
People like 32-year-old Mario Daniel, an information technology technician with a state-owned bank who is studying management at a private college in his spare time.
His ambitions? "To marry the mother of my two wonderful boys and to be a great manager. The people are opening their eyes. Things are not equalised. There is too much money for one group and not enough for everyone else. Everyone needs to change," he said at a polling station in central Luanda.
The most surprising thing was that he was an official MPLA election observer. "Yes, I am. But that doesn't mean I agree with everything we do," he said.

Biography of Carl Jung
Carl Gustav Jung (German pronunciation: ; 26 July 1875 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of Analytical Psychology. Jung is often considered the first modern psychologist to state that the human psyche is "by nature religious" and to explore it in depth. Though not the first to analyze dreams, he has become perhaps one of the most well known pioneers in the field of dream analysis. Unlike Freud et al. he was a self-described natural scientist, not a theoretical psychologist. For Jung this salient distinction revolved around his initial process of deep observation followed by categorizations rather than the reverse process of imagining what categories exist and then proceeding to seek for proof of and then discover that one was correct, always co...

Biography of Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday (April 7, 1915 July 17, 1959), born Eleanora Fagan and later called Lady Day, was an American jazz singer. Billie Holiday had a difficult childhood, which greatly affected her life and career.

Her professional pseudonym was taken from Billie Dove, an actress she admired, and Clarence Holiday, her probable father. At the outset of her career, she spelled her last name "Halliday," presumably to distance herself from her neglectful father, but eventually changed it back to "Holiday." Holiday's grandfather was one of 17 children of a black Virginia slave and a white Irish pla...

A True-to-Text Adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde in the Works
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Aug 22, 2013 — Huntington Beach based BLB Media has announced plans to adapt Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde into a feature film focusing on maintaining the original context of this classic horror story and stay true to the text.
Writer/director B. Luciano Barsuglia has said that this independently produced feature film will not only target a theatrical release, but classrooms across the world. "We intend on making a movie that can also be a teaching tool," notes Barsuglia. "There are, literally, more than 300 movies based on Stevenson's novella and none of them can be used in a classroom as a viable companion piece to the classic piece of literature."
Barsuglia is a filmmaker, but also an English teacher who has been teaching the novella for the last ten years. "It's always been a disappointment to me that there is not an adequate movie version of this incredible tale to use as a companion piece to the novella in the classroom."
The filmmaker is hoping to raise additional funds for the project on the crowd-funding platform Indiegogo at http://igg.me/at/jekyllhydemovie. In total, he hopes to raise about $16,000 for the project by Sept. 30. "No, it doesn't have the star power of James Franco or Spike Lee, but this is what crowd-funding is truly about, helping the independent artists bring their projects and dreams to fruition."
Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is currently in pre-production and will go into production in November. It has a 2014 release currently scheduled. The film will star indie film mainstay Jed Rowen (appearing in nearly 100 movies) and Bobby Field with other casting still underway.
Barsuglia has produced and directed three feature films, written two study guides (including one for Jekyll and Hyde), written three novels, and founded the SoCal Independent Film Festival currently in its 9th year.

Forgeron Wines
Forgeron Cellars is located in Walla Walla. Forgeron, a french word for blacksmith, was chosen in part because the location of the winery is on the former site of a blacksmith shop. But there's more to it than that: Forgeron also refers to artisans who build with their hands and head winemaker and part owner Marie-Eve Gilla brings that artisan philosophy to her winemaking and her vision for Forgeron Cellars.
Marie-Eve Gilla studied winemaking in her native France and attended the University of Dijon where she earned a masters degree in enology and viticulture. She came to the United States in 1991 intending to stay a few months but was enchanted by the winemaking opportunities afforded by Eastern Washington and decided to stay. She eventually met and married Gilles Nicault, also a native of France, and Director of Winemaking and Viticulture at Long Shadows, a collection of ultra-premium wineries run by some of the top winemakers from around the world.
Forgeron Cellars gets their grapes from numerous vineyards located in the Columbia Valley appellation with a focus on the best that Washington has to offer.

Chinese government is spending heavily to increase its military might
and is increasing spending on research into new weapon systems. China
insists that it is no threat to other countries, but much of the
world looks warily at the communist country and its growing
power.China's defense minister Liang Guanglie says that
the country
wants to modernize its military without foreign aid. Liang said,
"In the coming five years, our military will push forward
preparations for military conflict in every strategic
direction."Liang continues to say that China would
advance its capability to fight and win future high-tech wars while
boosting its conventional military arsenal. China is working on
weapons that trouble some military analysts and military personnel in
the U.S. with new weapons systems like the DF-21 missile which
can destroy
a U.S. supercarrier with a single hit.Liang said,
"We will stand on our own feet to solve the problem and develop
our equipment. The modernization of the Chinese military cannot
depend on others, and cannot be bought."According to
Liang, China is building up its navy, air force, and strategic
missile forces. China is thought to be launching a new aircraft
carrier as much as a year before analysts expected and the Chinese
Air Force has a new stealth jet that has been seen recently in spy
shots. The Chinese stealth aircraft is called
the J-20 and is thought to be aimed at the U.S. F-22 Raptor.
Some reports have claimed that the J-20 is larger than the Raptor
with more weapons and fuel capacity making some think that the
aircraft may not be as fast or agile as the Raptor in a
News reports
that U.S. Defense Secretary Ronald Gates will head to Beijing soon
for talks with Chinese officials. The visit will undoubtedly be in
part to talk about the fact that China is allied with North Korea.
North Korea recently shelled a small South Korean island killing four
people, including two civilians.
quote: National Socialism is the name used for political ideologies which purpose to merge nationalism and socialism. It was realized once in the form of Nazism by the Nazi Party in Germany. Several other political parties have used the name National Socialist Party or National Socialist Movement, and the name has been adopted by neo-Nazi groups in various countries. The ideology has only been formally applied in one historical case and is consequently judged by how it was implemented in the Third Reich. These factors have caused the term National Socialism to be used nearly synonymously with racism, Nazism or anti-Semitism. National Socialism is a complex ideology that seeks to be an alternative to both international capitalism and international communism.

Gogo Fuller's Sassy Skeletal Jewelry Is Not for the Spineless
Well, uh, you betcha, Gogo. But disbelievers should know that Gogo Fuller has come as close as possible to turning a sow's ear (okay, a sow's bones) into something much more valuable. A self-taught jewelry designer, the 38-year-old Fuller earns her living making bracelets, belt buckles, necklaces, earrings and bolo ties from the remnants of wildlife she culls from Cumberland's forests and beaches.
Finished with gold and silver clasps, or strung with onyx, jade, jasper and pearl purchased during buying excursions from the island to New York City, Fuller's designs can command prices (from $50 for blue mussel earrings to $850 for a rattlesnake ribs and vertebrae necklace) nearly as fancy as the clients whom Gogo casually counts as her regulars. John F. Kennedy Jr. bought four of Fuller's bolo ties at $65 a shot. His selections were crafted for an armadillo skull, armadillo vertebrae, an armadillo shell and, for variety, part of the backbone of an alligator. He also bought his mother—that stylish consumer Jacqueline Onassis—a triple-strand shark vertebrae necklace (a special order, priced at $1,500).
Author Tama (Slaves of New York) Janowitz went John Jr. one better: She has earrings made of raccoon penis bones. "Some people see the bones on me and say, 'Oooh, yuck,' " Janowitz admits. "But I liked Gogo's things right away."
Entrée to the Concorde set, like Cumberland Island itself, was Fuller's birthright. She's the great-great-granddaughter of steel magnate Thomas Carnegie (Andrew's brother), who bought the 18-by-3-mile barrier island as a family retreat in 1880. Now largely owned by the National Park Service, Cumberland is renowned for its unspoiled wilderness, open to the public only since the early '70s. In fact, when John Kennedy Jr. visits, he often stays at the Greyfield Inn, the old family estate that Gogo's father transformed into a nine-bedroom guest house in 1968. "My generation," says Fuller (whose brother Mitty Ferguson now manages the inn), "is the first that has had to work."
Fuller was born in South Dartmouth, Mass., and christened Janet by her parents, Barbara and Oliver Ferguson, a housewife and a boat builder. But "as far back as I remember," she says, she has been called Gogo, "because it was the first word I said." When she was 4, her parents divorced. Gogo attended boarding school in Providence, R.I., and every summer went off to her paternal grandparents at Greyfield. When she was 8, her grandfather Robert Ferguson, who had established a reputation for running around the woods in a loincloth with a buck knife at his hip, commanded Gogo to shoot a raccoon, then watch him skin and cook it so they could both eat it. The moral? "You don't hunt unless you're going to use what you shoot," explains Fuller, who neither hunts nor eats red meat. After studying art at Southeastern Massachusetts University, Gogo got a job making candy sculptures for Gumdrop Square in Stockbridge, Mass. In 1977 she returned to Cumberland.
"It's just a magical place," says Fuller of Cumberland, which fortunately did not fall into hurricane Hugo's recent destructive path. Others have shared her opinion—and her hospitality. Singer Art Garfunkel once popped back into the inn's kitchen to sing gospel songs. Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson were guests, as was Jimmy Carter and family. JFK Jr. and his most frequent girlfriend of record, actress Christina Haag, began trekking to Cumberland about three years ago. "They'll play soccer with everyone on the beach or hire a naturalist to take them out," says Fuller. "They just come to get away from it all."
Gogo has flirted with getting away from Cumberland but has always come back. In 1983 she moved to Washington, D.C., to work for small-press publisher Ben Fuller, whom she'd met at the inn. They married that same year and separated six years later, but in between, Gogo, who gave birth to a daughter, Hannah, in 1985, missed Cumberland so much she became determined to figure out a way to live there. Making jewelry had always been a hobby. "Ever since I can remember," she says, "I was always finding a shark's tooth or an arrowhead and hanging it around my neck." After an inn guest offered her an instant $45 for a shark-tooth creation, Gogo wised up. The next time a guest expressed interest in a piece, she asked for $500—and got it. Inspired by those requests, in 1986 she drew up a business plan and applied for a bank loan. "I laid out my bones on a table for four men and watched them look at me like I was crazy," she says. But not too crazy, they decided, for an $8,000 loan. By her own admission, Fuller now does "pretty well with these old bones." Her goods are sold in celebrity designer Nicole Miller's Madison Avenue shop and the Willis & Geiger chain—as well as to Greyfield guests—and she grosses some $100,000 a year. Fuller hopes someday to open her own store in New York.
These days Gogo lives with 4-year-old Hannah in a small, white clapboard cottage on the grounds of Greyfield. (The Carnegie clan still owns 1,400 acres of Cumberland outright.) She hunts for bones in the winter, when ticks and chiggers are scarce, and for shells in the summer. The bones of larger beasts are thrown into a large pen where carrion beetles will strip them. Smaller carcasses are hung off her dock for the crabs to pick clean. After bleaching the bones and coating them with acrylic, Gogo sits among her tackle boxes of designer debris and constructs her skeletal art. Hannah, who will be educated at home until she reaches high school age, paints shells with nail polish. "You have to be careful with shells," Fuller warns. "They can look real five-and-dime." Ahh, but in Mom's skilled hands they can be made to look exotic, elegant—and worth many more pennies than that.

text: With NYC losing the Tents and the economy throwing practically everyone's shows into various stages of peril, London seems to be having a Fashion Week renaissance of sorts. First Burberry made the move from Milan back to its English roots, then we hear Matthew Williamson is also heading back home after a few seasons in New York. And today the British Fashion Council announced that Pringle—that purveyor of fine knits and cool blouses will also be among the designers presenting their spring collections during London Fashion Week. Could this mean other designers will follow suit? Only time will tell, but as of now, at least we can sleep soundly knowing Topshop and Alexa are still firmly planted on U.S. soil.

Fool's Gold is a Los Angeles collective that weaves together Western pop aesthetics with African rhythms and melodies.[1] The group started as a side project of musicians Luke Top (a vocalist and bassist) and Lewis Pesacov (lead guitarist), who set out to explore their shared love of various forms of African music (specifically Congolese, Ethiopian, Eritrean and Malian), Krautrock, and 1980s dance influenced pop music.[2]
The band was formed initially as a collaboration between Top and Pesacov in 2007. Top had immigrated to Los Angeles from Israel at age three, while Pesacov earned a degree in classical music theory and composition while studying under American composers Mark Randall-Osborn and Franklin Cox. Joining their cultural and musical backgrounds, the two began writing songs together, many of which would eventually appear on their self-titled debut album in 2009.
Top has said that the band's name came from a trip he and Pesacov took to Northern California in which a mutual friend described a time when she found fool's gold in the ocean.[2]
Fool's Gold expanded to a sizable band composed of numerous accomplished and unique musicians. Among the members joining Top and Pesacov were Garrett Ray, Jimmy Vincent and Matt Popieluch of Pesacov's other band, Foreign Born; Latin American pop star Erica Garcia; former drummer for The Fall, Orpheo McCord; Michael Tapper, formerly of We Are Scientists as well as several other percussionists, musicians and vocalists.
In late 2009, the band was chosen as of one Beyond Race Magazine's 50 Emerging Artists, resulting in a spot in the publication's No. 11 issue, as well as an exclusive Q&A for the magazine's site.[3]
Fool's Gold fiery live shows have earned them invitations to The Hollywood Bowl, The Summerstage in Central Park NYC and The Black Sessions in Paris. Fool's Gold have played events such as Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, Oya, Austin City Limits Music Festival and London Calling Fest (Amsterdam). Currently touring with The Red Hot Chili Peppers England tour (2011)
Debut album[edit]
The songs for the band's self-titled album Fool's Gold were mostly recorded live over a two-day session at the Sunset Lodge recording studio in Los Angeles in 2008; tracks were later completed in various apartment living rooms in the early parts of 2009. Top and Pesacov collaborated on the music, written over a three-year span.
The album was released on September 29, 2009 through Los Angeles label IAMSOUND Records on both 12" vinyl and compact disc formats; it was subsequently released worldwide on January 25, 2010.[4]
Redefining the band[edit]
After many tours following the release of their self-titled debut, the once sizeable collective organically evolved into a tight-knit five-member band: vocalist/bassist Luke Top, guitarist Lewis Pesacov, drummer Garrett Ray, multi-instrumentalist Brad Caulkins, and percussionist Salvador Placencia. This line-up redefined their sound for their sophomore LP, Leave No Trace.
An obvious distinction in Leave No Trace is that it is sung predominately in English. This was an intuitive choice, much in the way the debut album leaned towards Hebrew. "Singing in Hebrew on the first record allowed me to find my voice; it helped me to come out of my shell and push myself into letting go, both as a performer and songwriter," says singer Luke Top. "As the words and themes for this record started to take shape, I knew I had to express them in English, my first language. Being that this is a far more personal and nuanced collection of songs, it was important to me that my ideas were expressed as clearly as possible, both to myself and to the listener."

NEW YORK — Here are five things you need to know today about the Yankees, who will take on the Orioles at 7:05 p.m. at Yankee Stadium and can be seen on YES Network and heard on WFAN 660 AM/101.9 FM
Follow @jorgeccastillo and @brendankutynj for updates.
1. TANAKA TAKES THE BRONX: Mashiro Tanaka will make his first Yankee Stadium start. The 25-year-old, who got a $155-million contract in the offseason, overcame a tough first inning to win in his first start in Toronto.
Tanaka was calm and professional all spring, but he admitted to getting a little excited after his initial major-league outing. Will he keep his emotions in check pitching in The Bronx for the first time?
2.KEEPING IT UP: In 24 at-bats, Yangervis Solarte is hitting .458. The 27-year-old, in the majors for the first time, just hasn't stopped hitting since his hot spring training. And he's been more than solid defensively throughout.
3. WAKING UP? Alfonso Soriano had his first multi-hit game and home run in Tuesday's loss. Is Soriano getting it back together after an incredibly rough start? He's going to be big over the next couple of weeks as Mark Teixeira works back from the disabled list.
4. PROJECT: Miguel Sulbaran, the 20-year-old minor leaguer the Yankees got from the Twins for Eduardo Nunez, is a "developmental project," according to a report in the New York Post. He's got a fastball that reaches the lower-90's and has a change up and slider, the report said.
5. Today in Yankees history, according to NationalPastime.com:
April 9, 1965: The Yankees face Houston in the first game ever at the Astrodome, sports' first domed stadium. Twenty-four astronauts threw out 24 ceremonial first pitches.
