My mission is to empower people to be spiritually independent and happy about it.I used to think I help people who've left the church or are having difficulty staying. Actually, people who've left the church haven't necessarily changed their thinking. So my mission has become even more focused. Who I really help are people who's belief systems are crashing down around them and are losing their faith. As a result, the church has become meaningless or even harmful to them.I want to help you … [Read more...]

Chancellors and central bankers face a perennial headache: booms typically cause inflation, while recessions mainly reduce output without reducing prices or inflation. New ESRC-funded research by Professor V. Bhaskar of the University of Essex explains how this problem emerges through the phenomenon of asymmetric price adjustment – the fact that firms are far quicker to increase prices than to cut them.
This work has important implications for inflation targeting by the Bank of England and other central banks. The Nobel Laureate Robert Lucas has recently argued that the optimal inflation target may be negative, so that central banks may need to deflate the economy persistently. But Bhaskars research on pricing asymmetries shows that deflation would aggravate the negative effects on output and employment considerably.
Positive inflation has the effect of raising output, since it prevents the output and employment losses due to price asymmetries. On the other hand, the inflation target for the central bank should not be too high, since the output gains are relatively modest.

text: http://www.dexim.net/us/products/Audio-Video/DRA022.html I've been looking at this AV dock by Dexim and want to use it with my 4th gen iPod Touch, however there was a customer review on Amazon that said that it doesn't work with the 4th gen iPod Touch. Dexim themselves only claim compatibility with 1st and 2nd gen iPod Touch. This doesn't really make sense since the 4th gen iPod Touch uses the same Apple A4 SoC as the iPhone 4 which Dexim does officially support. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this Dock and can confirm whether it's compatible with the 4th gen iPod Touch?

Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Law of Return
Adopted by the CCAR at the 100th Annual Convention of
WHEREAS in 1988, in Jerusalem the Central Conference of American Rabbis resolved that
"all converts to Judaism must be registered upon application as Jews under the Law
of Return," and called upon "the leaders of the Government of Israel to continue
to make certain that the laws of the State, and the rulings of its Supreme Court, are duly
and faithfully implemented"; and
the Central Conference of American Rabbis
Cincinnati, Ohio June, 1989
WHEREAS there are new cases pending of converts to Judaism who are being denied their rights under the Law of Return; and
WHEREAS subsequent to the Israeli election of 1988 the need to form a government threatened to compromise the Law of Return as it now stands,
BE IT RESOLVED, that
1. the CCAR offer its support and appreciation to that broad-based coalition of 26 Jewish organizations which formed to express united opposition to the proposed amendment. This coalition was uniquely qualified to speak to the needs of Kelal Yisrael. We urge that this coalition continue to study the issues and to coordinate strategies for the defense of Jewish religious rights in Israel; and
2. the CCAR express its outrage with those in the leadership of both major parties in Israel for contemplating an amendment to the Law of Return in exchange for the power to govern. We call upon ARZA, KADIMA, and ARZENU to strengthen their efforts to establish working relationships and growing dialogue with a broad spectrum of Israeli leaders. We call upon CCAR members, their synagogues, and organizations throughout North America to articulate this position to Israeli visitors to local communities; and
3. the CCAR call upon leaders of the Reform movement to support all moves on the local, national, or international levels, to stimulate productive dialogue among Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Reform rabbis with regard to questions of personal status, and
4. the CCAR commend the UJA/Federation community for its highly effective efforts to defeat moves to amend the Law of Return.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello, my name isXXXXX & I'll be helping you today. My goal is to give you a complete & accurate answer that you can understand.
The only thing you can do at this point is to request an installment payment arrangement. If you owe less than $10,000. it will be approved pretty much automatically.
I presume that you have figured in all of your medical expenses.
You will owe additional interest and penalties on the the balance due and interest will continue to run until the tax is fully paid.
i have figured the medical.not enough
There are other potential options since you are unemployed and don't have any liquid assets but that will take more time than tonite and tomorrow.
can i continue this on tuesday
It is called an "Offer in Compromise" and if you were to go that route, the IRS may accept less that the full amount due.
The most important thing is to file your return on time.
It can always be amended, later if necessary.
we are alreadyclaiming hardship for being behind on mortgage
The offer in compromise procedure can't be requested until the return has been processed and the liability determined.
i will file tomorrow
thank you for your help.jeff
Well it sounds like you would be a good candidate for the OIC, but if you want our assistance, that would be another topic to discuss on another question, best done after your liability is determined by the IRS.
I'll leave my contact information in case you want to reach me here again.
If you need to contact me again with any tax or financial questions, you can just ask for "Steve G" at the beginning of your question. Thanks again for using us for your tax and financial questions. You may get a short survey from the site; if it isn't too much trouble I would appreciate it if you would answer it; the survey results are used to rate our performance;
ok.i will be back in touch
Please remember to rate my response
That is the only way we get credit for our work.

Bark-Eater: Eulogy for an Old-Timer
I've been thinking about him a lot lately, even though he died nearly 40 years ago at the age of sixty-five. It wasn't an easy death. He "died hard," as folks used to say. I won't kid you. He was no saint. He was a bit of a bastard, in fact. Still, he had his reasons. He packed a lot into his sixty-five years. He raised three kids on little or nothing. A fourth, his youngest son, drowned one winter when he broke through the ice on a local lake. What with one thing and another, he never had an easy life. He lived through two major wars, several diphtheria epidemics, and a depression—and that wasn't all. But he never lost his love for his mountains.
His name was Jack. His last name doesn't matter. He didn't have much use for last names, to tell the truth. He started guiding when he was little more than a boy. If the state required guides to be licensed then, he didn't care, and no one else did, either. By the time he'd grown up, the state had dropped the requirement altogether. They've put it back now, of course. You have to pass a multiple-choice test. Some guides even get degrees in wilderness recreation and outdoor education. I doubt that Jack would have been impressed by their diplomas and certificates, however. He was a "show me" kind of guy. And he lived in the woods all his life… Read more…

LONDON — The designer's boho babe has turned into a member of the international jet set (think Sybil Shepherd, Kim Basinger and Talitha Getty).
And while she looks as though there's barely a scrap of makeup on her face, there is a lot: foundation, two different concealers, four mushroomy shades of eye shadow and plenty of blending, perfecting and buffing. Bad Girl plum mascara and Hula lip gloss completed the look.
Toni + Guy's Mark Hampton prepped locks with de-tangler, added volume with Glam 3D Volumizer, sectioned and then blow dried hair in barrel waves in a side parting and finished with Glam Firm Hold Spray. The reference was Williamson model Molly Smith: "Then it was about recreating that look on 28 other girls" said Hampton.

Hey guys just wanted to say hey, I have an 02 WRX that just went to 91,000 miles it has already had a tuneup at about 75,000 and a new clutch that went out at about 80,000.

Just wanted to know what kind of maintenance should I be looking into that should of already been done, and what do I have to look forward to at 100,000 miles?
Thanks in advance

Nine long years ago Republican President George Bush ordered American forces to invade Afghanistan and overthrow the Taliban government which he claimed had been responsible for 9/11 attacks. Fast forward to July, 2010 and we discover, according to Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican party, that Barack Obama was the one who decided to fight in Afghanistan and Republicans had nothing to do with this decision. Mr. Steele was captured on camera making the following statement: "if he's(Obama) is such a student of history, has he not understood that, you know, that's the one thing you don't engage in a land war in Afghanistan? All right? Because everyone who's tried, over a thousand years of history, has failed. And there are other reasons for that. There are other ways to engage in Afghanistan." He went on to say, "this was a war of Obama's choosing. This is not something the United States has actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in." After the schumuck was told what he said was an insult not only to President Obama, but his own party, he issued a statement that said: "the stakes are too high for us to accept anything but success in Afghanistan."
Republicans are attempting to use the English language in creative ways to get around the reality it was their party which began the war in Afghanistan, it was their president who initiated fighting and was responsible for eight years to create a stable Afghan government, but failed. I await Republican explanations of how the $5 trillion national debt inherited by George Bush rose to $10 trillion by the time he left office.
FLASH!! We have just received notice from Rush Limbaugh the invasion of Afghanistan was the fault of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. As for that debt thing, if you examine actions by President Franklin Roosevelt during WWII you would discover he raised the national debt in order to pay for the war. Mommy, the Democrats are responsible for all bad things in the world!!

He did get to fly during the Death Star escape. Oh yeah, and the escape from Mos Eisly Spaceport, "Chewie, get us outta here !! " ( Han was just boarding, so the big guy must have been piloting ) Seems like Chewie was actually the go-to guy for getting everyone out of trouble : )

Some more progress.
Had the mesh shirt stitched by a tailor and got him to add a few buttons to help it slip on easier.
Got some latch hooking done, approx 4 hours work.
Hope to have the latch hooking complete in 2 weeks.
Have acquired a bandolier from Mel Mattson, going to replace the boxes with ROTS ones.
A closeup of the latch hooking process!
Still messing about with the sculpt, I think I'm nearly there with proportions just need to smooth it out and refine the lips a bit more, can't wait to mould and cast it. Mouth is not downturned as much now
Got some platsil gel 10 for the outer mask, one of the best silicones available.
Wow, man. This thing is...just wow. Amazing, stupendous, fantastic, jaw dropping...whatever other terms of praise you can come up with as well.
I can't wait to see this thing done!!! I LOVE watching your builds! You have some serious talent, and this is looking to be one of my favorite Dougie costumes.
Wow, making some great progress,.. and fast. Really exciting thread, cant wait to see it done as well!
LOL! That does look like Ron Perlman!
Ron Perlman, absolutely !! We could have a Quest for Fire costume club ! Or not..
I was hoping to be the first to notice that, but I'm too late : (
If only Ron Pearlman had let me to a lifecast of his face it would have saved me some sculpting!
Actually a Hellboy costume is another one that I would love to try!
Any chance that we will be seeing this costume at Invasion III (assuming there is an InvasionIII)?
very nice job so far. it looks like you have the hair installation down! most wookiees i see look like they are having a bad hair day, but yours looks right from the get go.
can't wait to see the head. keep up the great work.
Most impressive.
Very cool, you're really coming along. Jeez, I can't imagine tying on all those little hair bunches!
I can't wait to see the finished product.
The end of latch hooking the suit is nigh!!!! Need to add a little more brown mix to cover up some of the grey around the waist area, reckon another 4 to 5 hours should do it.
The arms have taken a lot longer because I am latching every second loop for the most part or even every loop in some areas. The hair will need some trimming and thinning out because of this.
That is looking great. I have been wanting to do this myself for a while now. I think you have just kicked me over the edge of starting it. My wife says thanks alot.
that is awsome. wish i had half of that skill.
well david buddy look's great so far.....looking a lot better than mart'ins...ha ha lol....
Love the work and can´t wait to see it completed..respect & love to u and your work!!
They latch hooking is comnplete, woo hoo, just minor tweaks needed, will post pics tomorrow.
Meanwhile I have being making progress on the skull!
Sculpt all greased up ready for moulding!
Jesmonite mould, approx 3 layers!
Negative, looking positive!
The next step was to remove a layer approx 5mm from the sculpt and carve out the underskull.
Rough and ready but will be smoothed out before moulding.
I then cast a temp gelatin skin to act as a guide for building up support.
Just waiting on RTV silicone before I mould the skull.

Hi, just about 2 weeks ago I brought my dog to the petsmart grooming center and my dog came back smelling like cucumber melon because of the cologne they used. Thats when i decided that i want to find a cucumber melon cologne for my dog because i really like the scent. So far I've found the cucumber melon scented dog cologne from the brands Espree, Pet Silk, and Viva La Dog.
Which one of these 3 colognes are longer lasting but isn't as overbearing? Also, I really like the cucumber melon scented soap that you can get at bath & body works. Does one of these colognes smell similar to the soap?
edit #1:
Do any of the brands of dog cologne i listed smell sweeter sort of like candy? because i really don't like it when it smells really sweet like candy. >.<
edit #2 email reply from Hydrosurge:
Dear Ms. Leung,
Thank you for your interest in HydroSurge Products. The HydroSurge Cucumber Melon cologne you're referring to is not available at retail. These are seasonal products developed exclusively for PETsMART for use in their salons. I will forward you expressed interest over to our marketing team to let them know consumers are interested in seeing a consumer product line of colognes sold at retail through the pet specialty channel.
Best regards,

When I was a little girl, I had a fuzzy chocolate-brown teddy bear with oversized, expressive plastic eyes. I called him Luli and I slept with him every night, for years. Like many people, I was attached to the stuffed animal I had as a child.
If it's not a stuffed animal for you, then maybe it's an outfit you wore on a special occasion or the record collection you've had since your teens.
It's no surprise that most people have something they are emotionally attached to, but it might surprise you to hear that it's not about the stuffed animal, or the clothes, or the records – it's not about the stuff at all.
What we are really attached to, what we are hanging on to for dear life, is what the item represents. For me, the stuffed animal meant safety and love. He never abandoned me. He was always there to cuddle with, even on the day my first boyfriend broke up with me. If it's a special outfit for you, maybe it represents at time in your life when you felt really good about yourself, or your body, or your relationship. And that record collection, maybe it makes you relive the fun, carefree days of your youth. It's different things to different people, but it's never, ever, ever about the stuff – this I can promise you.
I share this truth with you because I believe that awareness is a powerful change agent. If there are items that you are particularly attached to and are ready to let go of (perhaps because you don't have the space or want to let go of the past to make room for something new) I encourage you to try this exercise. It's not scientific, and I'm not a psychologist, but I have found that it works for me and for hundreds of clients who have experimented with it.
Overcoming Emotional Attachment to Stuff:
Step One: Determine which item you are ready to let go of.
Step Two: Take a picture of it to preserve the memory (and make it easier to let go).
Step Three: Think back to when you used that item. Jot down how you felt when you used it, wore it, read it, etc. Focus on the emotions and the need it filled at the time.
Step Four: Ask yourself if it is possible for you to feel this emotion/get this need met without the item. For example, can you experience the fun of your youth by reconnecting with old friends and planning a night out (after all, that fun-loving person is still inside of you)? In other words, can you replace the item with an activity that elicits the same feelings and meets the same needs?
Step Five: Ask yourself if you are willing to let the item go.
The answer to Step Five may be 'no', and that's okay, because it is a process and it does get easier. Keep working on it with various items that you want to detach yourself from. Once you are aware of the 'why', the 'how' reveals itself. You'll soon recognize that emotional attachment to things from the past can tie you down and prevent you from moving forward in life. That's not to say that you can't keep a few mementos; but an excess amount can keep you anchored to the past. The memory is not the item; you don't need the physical reminder because you can keep the memory in your head and heart – where it doesn't take up space and you never have to dust it.
So what ever happened to my Luli? Well, you'll be pleased to know that I don't sleep with him anymore. Once I met my husband, I was able to experience that safety and love without needing to cuddle my bear. So I took a picture and let him go (the bear, not my husband!) And I'm happy to report that I haven't missed Luli at all.
Please take a moment and use the comments section below to let me know what item(s) you are emotionally attached to and what you think it represents. This takes a lot of courage, but it's the first step in letting go.

Stuart W. Churchill, the
Carl V.S. Patterson Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering,
has been named the recipient of the 2002 Founders Award by the National
Academy of Engineering.
Churchill is being recognized "for outstanding leadership in
research, education and professional service, and for continuing
contributions in combustion, heat transfer and fluid dynamics for
over half a century." Dr. Churchill's work has led to
improvements in nuclear safety, the safe handling of liquefied natural
gas, the space program and national defense.
years ago I had the privilege of having Stuart as an instructor
in a course," said Dr. Eduardo D. Glandt, SEAS dean . "It
was a highly stimulating experience and had a major influence in
my own teaching. Stuart's tree' of descendents is
extraordinary not only for the number of his doctoral students but
especially for their careers and accomplishments."
Churchill has been a member of the faculty since 1967, authored
six books and more than 280 journal publications, including seven
research papers published in the first half of 2002. He has received
Penn's Medal for Distinguished Achievement, among his many
to top
Award: Dr. Strom

chair of biostatistics & epidemiology and the director of the
Center for Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics, has received
the 2003 Rawls-Palmer Progress in Medicine Award from the American
Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
award recognizes a clinical pharmacologist "for significant
contributions to drug investigation that bring the efforts of modern
drug research to the care of patients." The candidate must
be an investigator "who is actively engaged in high-quality
clinical pharmacological research and be capable of delivering an
engaging, lucid lecture with wide audience appeal on recent developments
in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics."
of Education: Dean Fuhrman
Dean Susan H. Fuhrman, has been elected to the National Academy
of Education. Membership in the academy is limited to 150 regular
members whose accomplishments in the field of education have been
judged outstanding.
Fuhrman came to Penn as dean in 1995. She is the founder and director
of the Consortium for Policy Research in Education, a collaboration
of five universities. Dr. Fuhrman's research interests include
state policy design, accountability, deregulation and intergovernmental
National Academy of Education was founded in 1965 to promote scholarly
inquiry and discussion concerning the ends and means of education,
in all its forms, in the U.S. and abroad.
Leadership: UCD
University City District Board of Directors
has been awarded the 2002 Downtown Achievement Award for Downtown
Leadership by the International Downtown Association.
UCD Board was cited since"its funding is 100% voluntary rather
than derived from mandatory taxes on commercial property. Because
of University City's concentration of tax- exempt entities,
the UCD was formed as a private non-profit but not as a taxing authority.
UCD staff nominated its Board for this award to recognize their
capital commitment as well as their personal perseverance in turning
a one-person operation in 1997 into the go-to' organization
in 2002 with 14 full-time staff, more than 70 contract staff, and
a $5.2 millon annual budget."
Ribbon Award: Rowan Center
University's Rena Rowan Breast Center in the Abramson Cancer
Center has been recognized by the CIGNA Corporation with the
Pink Ribbon Award. The award was given last Friday to honor and
recognize outstanding Philadelphia-region community groups for health.
Beverly Ginsburg, Associate Vice President Cancer Services
and Program Development, UPHS and Executive Director, the Abramson
Cancer Center of the University, accepted the award on behalf of
the Rena Rowan Breast Center.
has received the Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence.
Now in its fifth year, the award recognizes the best of Pennsylvania's
businesses, municipalities and organizations for their efforts to
protect the environment. The University was chosen because it is
the largest purchaser of wind energy in the U.S. and by purchasing
five percent of its electrical needs from wind power in the next
three years, Penn is following through on a major effort to reduce
energy usage through conservation measures (Almanac October
30, 2001) . The estimated financial benefit is a $3.8 million
energy savings annually. The environmental benefits include the
offset of 11,990 tons of carbon dioxide, 56,200 pounds of nitrogen
oxides and 180,200 pounds of sulfur dioxide each year. It is the
equivalent to taking 2,756 cars off the road or planting 2.6 million
addition to the nine Fulbright Scholars (Almanac May
21) already announced, there are two more among the Class
of 2002:
Krigman, C'02; The Role of Nonprofit Organizations in Spanish
Society (Spain).
Ann O'Neil-Henry,
C'02; Teaching English as Foreign Language (France).
Scholarship: Jason Lewis
Lewis, C '03, has
received a Jack Kent Cook Scholarship, one of 40 winners nationwide.
The recipients are evaluated on academics, volunteerism, leadership,
critical thinking ability, potential to make a significant contribution
to field of study and/or society and appreciation for participation
in the arts and humanities. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation was established
with the funds left by Mr. Cooke at his death. Mr. Cooke himself
was a high-school dropout but built a media empire. One of the Foundation's
major goals is to identify extraordinary individuals and help them
pursue the kind of formal education that Mr. Cook never had.
In last week's issue, the chair Dr. Daniel Janzen holds was
incorrect. It should have read the Thomas G. and Louise E. DiMaura
Endowed Term Chair in Conservation Biology

There is absolutely no way you can use any of mine.
Even though they are quite popular (among the best selling) on VH and…
Only kidding … take your pick mate … and best of luck to you
Thx mate.
But your CAPITALS . Umm … no need to shout
hm… this player have little bug, check out any looped motion graphic, and you'll see very short pause between end and beggining of animation, so you cannot see that item is properly looped
Yes, this is a bummer. To sell loops customers need to see loops (the previous player was certainly better).
Yep, as VexBlade said, this is a simple gradient style over the text layer Two dark grays by sides and the white in the middle.
I often use CC Light Sweep, which can easily be animated.
Love it but hopefully they'll be adding to the selection of fonts soon.
Well done DarkRoom!
@ VideoFX – you have to upload your thumbnail separately (as with your flv preview, preview image and your zip folder). Is that what you're doing?
I think you could do that with AE quite easily. Notice how the '3D' bits are 'shot' from pretty much head on – and there's only one or two basic pieces seen from the side – basic masking comes to mind.
Very nicely done though.
Watch the film then make a new movie with yourself as the hero
Post your unique link back here.
How it's done amazes me.
Photoshop can def. open individual pages of a pdf. Ideally the original will be high res (for print) so you can save out good quality jpg / png if you need to zoom in.

what matters by LucandreusWatch
©2012-2017 Lucandreus
dedicated to the bronies who are facing the last high school year and who are facing a great problem too: watch ponies or study?
*sniffle* there were no ponies when I was in school
Been looking for this.
Lol! Even more surprising that he was able to raise his voice to Celestia and not get banished!
Story of my life. Only 3 more years to go... *sigh*
do both
She wants to be brushed?
they may get in the way....but sometimes....it's worth it.
lol XD
my senior year decision was simple, ponies.
I aleady got admitted to my university and my last GPA didnt matter as long as i didnt fail
I aleady got admitted to my university and my last GPA didnt matter as long as i didnt fail
HA I remember the good old days in high school but we did not have G4 G=Generation so studing for me was easy!
This is exactly what happens to me pretty much daily ^^
Oh I know too well how that feels
I tried to do both...didnt go well..
So ponies are like cats?
I envy you for having a desk clean enough to accommodate such a pony. Mine is cluttered enough that I wouldn't even have room for a Crusader.

And college students. Don't forget us.
I know how this feels :C
You can do the 2 things together ... every week / one part isn't lot. I am in my last year of dental technician so i will do exams and so but watch all the episodes. /A LOT/
Watch ponies, you can't go wrong.
Reminds me of me and my wife's cats. Love it!
high school senior here and that is exactly my life at the moment
also my cat does that
also my cat does that
Rofl. So very true.... Awesome comic. ^^ Very nice Celestia drawing, you do her body very nicely.
This makes me think of my friend Logan! He's a huge Brony!
I had this similar idea; only it was Lyra continuosly levitating my right hand
shouldn't be that big an issue if you organize your time properly.
I am in college and I STILL have this problem.
It's funny because this is almost literally why I am viewing this picture at this very moment.
Write history essay.... or fanfiction? ... MUST. WRITE. Ess....a......
At least she's on the table instead of his lap. Her on the table is annoying, her in his lap would hurt.
Yep, have that same feeling! I'm a senior trying to juggle school and my real life, and inside my real life I'm a brony. Kind of hard but still have been able to get through.
i would watch ponies cuz its awesome.
lol. pony time!!
im out of school and i can watch ponies all i want in immortal words of heavy weapons guy it is good day to be brony
that's awesome
This how every person who has ever owned a cat feels... Only ponies are a lot more demanding!
Every time XD

Voice of Station Nightclub Victim Recorded Four Years After Tragic Fire in Rhode Island
Dave and Joanne Kane know the endless pain first hand. Their 18 year old son, Nicholas O'Neill, was the youngest victim to perish in the tragic Station Nightclub disaster in Rhode Island, ten years ago, on February 20, 2003.
As we honor the anniversary of this catastrophe, Dave sent me an EVP, electronic voice phenomenon, that I aired on WBSM AM 1420. Both affirm this is the voice of their son, Nicky, recorded about 4 years after his tragic death. Listen to the clip below, and hear the recording for yourself.
The EVP is believed to be saying "Mom and dad, this is Nicky." Dave Kane has authored "41 Signs of Hope," and produced a documentary, among other works.

He's one of the most beloved creative forces in Hollywood as of late, and Ryan Murphy was saluted by a bevy of beautiful babes at last night's (October 29) amfAR Gala in Los Angeles.
There was no shortage of eye candy at last night's (October 26) 2015 InStyle Awards, given that models like Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr were in the house.
Always easy on the eyes, Alessandra Ambrosio has a whole new lineup of gorgeous bathing suits on deck for the Spring/Summer 2015 season.
In her new Ale by Alessandra campaign, the Brazilian stunner shows off her flawless figure with both day a night shoots on the beach.
It's one of the most anticipated collaborations of the Fall 2015 season and last night (October 20) Balmain x H&M launched the ultimate collection in New York City.
Never one to miss out on a swanky shindig, Alessandra Ambrosio sauntered over to Laperouse restaurant to celebrate the Balmain Spring/Summer 2016 Paris Fashion Week presentation last night (October 1).
It's not uncommon to see one or two supermodels mixed in at Paris Fashion Week presentations, but Olivier Rousteing managed to snag eight top posers for his show for H&M this week.
It's become a seasonal tradition for lingerie lovers the world over, and the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is coming back to New York City this winter!
Earlier today (October 1) the popular brand announced that this year's extravaganza will air on December 8th at 10:00pm on the CBS Network.
The fashion modeling industry is full of fierce competition, and Forbes just released the 2015 Highest-Paid Models List, including a couple of new additions.
Not surprisingly, Gisele Bundchen is the #1 earner once again, bringing home $44 million over the past year thanks to her congracts with Carolina Herrera, Chanel Beauty and Under Armour.

OT Christmas of peace story, Wish you the same
A story of Christmas peace shared in the worst of times. May this be a testament that even in the darkest elements of humanity their is a goodness that finds its way to the top.
Merry Chirstmas and a happy new year. May ur days ahead be fillled with peace
Lt. Gitz Rice belonged to a famous Canadian regiment, which was sent to France in World War I. His regiment fought across the bleak no-man's-land under fierce fire from the enemy.
One unusual instrument Rice's company took with them was a piano which Rice used to compose the famous war-time song, "Mademoiselle from Armentieres."
On Christmas Eve the piano was brought to the front-line trenches. That night, an eerie quiet settled over no-man's-land that felt like a lull before deadly attacks at daylight. Enemy troops were so close they could be heard talking.
Shortly before midnight, Rice began playing Christmas carols in a British trench. The melody, "Silent Night, Holy Night," rang out and pierced the cold, frightening night. Then he played "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing."
The Canadian soldiers joined in and sang with great gusto. Suddenly they were startled to hear the German soldiers joining them in song: "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht." Then followed other carols familiar to Christians everywhere.
Rice then played a German aria from Wagner's "Tannhaeuser." As he did a Canadian soldier climbed out of his trench, stood in the open and sang the words.
"Mehr! Mehr!" (More! More!) shouted the Germans. Then one of their own men climbed out of his trench, standing as a possible target for the British rifles, and blended his rich baritone voice with that of the Canadian.
At least for one night the message of Christmas broke through to those battle-weary soldiers as they laid their guns aside and sang together the story about the greatest event the world had ever seen-the story of God coming to earth as a baby to save lost mankind and ultimately to end all wars forever.
"Mehr! Mehr!" shouted
the German soldiers.
George Jessp
Thanks Diesel Dave for this enlightening story.

Eva Mendes Takes Care of Her Four-Legged Friend
Pampering her pooch, Eva Mendes took her dog to the Animal Hospital for a check up and trim on Saturday (December 1) in Westwood, CA.
Dressed in printed black pants and a black sweater, the 38-year-old "Hitch" cutie held tight to her four-legged friend's leash as they left the building.
In related news, Ms. Mendes is currently filming the TV movie "Clear History," which also stars Kate Hudson and Michael Keaton, for HBO.
The movie, about a disgraced former marketing executive who plots revenge against his former boss, who made millions from the electric car company they once owned, will air in 2013.


text: For much this season, Raul Garcia has been incredible for Atletico Madrid. The Spaniard is a midfielder without any clear strength, which has been flipped under Diego Simeone to turn him into a versatile and key player for the Madrid club. Garcia is able to play at centre-forward, off the striker or further back in midfield. But his aerial ability and consistency in front of goal has seen him as the go-to option when Simeone chooses to go direct. Garcia is out of contract in the summer and would be a huge asset to a number of Premier League clubs.

If the people in your organization groan when they read one of your "To all employees" memos, it's because they think of HR as causing problems, not solving them.
You can turn that perception around, says HR consultant Sandy Allgeier, by developing your "interpersonal influence" over the people in your organization. It's not as difficult as it sounds, Allgeier told HR professionals gathered for the Society for Human Resource Management's annual convention.
All you need to remember is this simple formula: I + You = We.
- "I" stands for "I am a trustworthy ally." That means demonstrating your personal reliability, your competence and your commitment to helping the people in your work force. You do that, Allgeier says, by answering questions, respecting confidentiality, following through on what you promise and helping people implement policy, instead of expecting them to.
- "You" stands for "You are a valuable resource," which means showing that you value a working relationship with each person. You do that, Allgeier says, by asking for employees' input before implementing something that will affect them. And by being approachable. "That means people feel comfortable coming to you with questions or problems," Allgeier says, "and you actually listen to them."
- "We" stands for "We can accomplish this together," meaning that, by convincing a co-worker that you are a trustworthy ally and showing that you value that person's contributions, you develop a commitment to solving the problem at hand ... or implementing the initiative.
"Professionals expect to be treated with respect and [to] work collaboratively," Allgeier says. "Using trust and support to build collaboration will result in commitment."

It is fashionable to lament the death of politics, and the lacklustre campaigns waged in many of our cities for yesterday's local elections did little to contradict that. Anyone looking for signs of political life in recent weeks, however, had only to look across the Channel to rediscover politics, red in tooth and claw.
French voters, young and old, have flocked to rallies, where they have chanted and barracked and roared. The internet and Twittersphere have been abuzz. And the whole invigorating process culminated in a rip-roaring television debate on Wednesday evening that was bellicose, needling, highly personal, and stuffed with political argument to the point where it overran its allotted time by almost an hour. No one who watched even a fraction could doubt that French voters, who go to the polls on Sunday, have a stark choice. Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande espouse very different policies; they are quite different personalities, and they were not play-acting on Wednesday: they really, truly, loathe each other.
Outside France, however, this epic duel, which is being fought out in a time of economic crisis, has already been framed according to certain assumptions – assumptions that are not necessarily correct. So prevalent have they become, however, that they risk skewing the international response, when the victor's face emerges, in time-honoured manner, on French TV screens after the polls close on Sunday night.
The first assumption is that Sarkozy, the incumbent President, is certain to lose. It is true that all opinion polls on the eve of the debate had him trailing the Socialist, Hollande, by around six points (47 to 53 per cent); that the gap has been quite consistent since the first round the Sunday before last; and that six points is a lot to make up with very little time to do it. But some caveats are in order. Marine Le Pen's almost 18 per cent of the first-round vote has to go somewhere. The French are conscientious voters (as witnessed by the 80 per cent turn-out on 22 April), and by no means all will follow Le Pen in leaving their ballot papers blank. Not all those votes will go to Sarkozy, for all his increasingly shameless efforts to win them, but some will.
Add to this the slight narrowing of the polls over the past week, and the fact that the full impact of the debate will be felt only in the actual vote. Sarkozy failed to land the killer blow; he came across as aggressive, ill-tempered and self-absorbed. But such attributes will not necessarily be condemned by voters craving a President who will stand up for France. His challenger came across as almost equally ill-tempered, with less rapid-fire repartee, and less experience. Sarkozy is a fighter, and it is not over yet.
The second assumption – sometimes aired by Sarkozy-supporters to frighten waverers, but more often brandished abroad – is that if Hollande is France's next President, he will have to tack to the left to placate those who cast their first-round votes for the far-left candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon. But this neglects two realities. The first is that, while Mélenchon performed creditably, he did not make the breakthrough his campaigning charisma had suggested. The second is that the political complexion of France, as revealed by the first-round vote, still tends more to the right than to the left. That is the France that awaits the next President, whoever it turns out to be.
The third assumption outside France is that an Hollande victory would spell meltdown for the euro. Such thinking is based partly on the fact that Hollande is the Socialist (and so, it is supposed, the less fiscally responsible). And, of course, Sarkozy traded on this during the debate. It proceeds also from Hollande's emphasis on "growth" over "austerity", and from his election pledge to re-open the European Fiscal Stability Treaty.
But the logic of these arguments is questionable. "Reopening" does not have to be the same as "renegotiating", and there are many other imponderables – the Irish referendum, the Greek election, the Spanish economy – which suggest the treaty may not be set in stone. The main reason why an Hollande victory will not trigger an immediate euro crisis, though, is that the financial markets have already anticipated such a result. The wobble, in so far as it happened, followed Hollande's first-round victory, and subsequent polls forecasting an easy second-round win. As for commitment to the European project, French Socialist leaders have been at least as communautaire as their Gaullist counterparts, and sometimes more willing to cede small pieces of national sovereignty to the common cause. Hollande will not break that particular mould.
The fourth assumption outside France is that Hollande's arrival at the Elysée would damage the Franco-German engine that effectively holds Europe together. The claim here is that Angela Merkel not only shares a centre-right world view with Sarkozy, but has invested so much in a difficult personal relationship, that a new start with a Socialist leader would be worse. But would Merkel really find Hollande a trickier proposition than Sarkozy? German and French leaders of different parties have often hit it off better than those of supposedly like political mind, while, character-wise, Merkel – cautious, solid and consensus-seeking – would seem to have more in common with Hollande than she ever had with Sarkozy. The big ideological divergence – growth versus austerity – might even become more bridgeable in their hands.
Which leads on to the fifth, and last, false assumption: that a second term for Sarkozy would mean more of the same, while his defeat would effect a break with the past of the sort he promised five years ago, but mostly failed to deliver. In fact, Sarkozy's failure illustrates the limited room for manoeuvre that any national leader has in straitened times, whatever their promises and ideology. At the same time, however, Europe's tolerance for unadulterated stringency seems to be shrinking, with a serious search on for ways of generating jobs, if not rapid growth, without busting the budget. And Germany, with its low unemployment and comparative social peace, is the euro country that sets the standard here, too, as it does for living within one's means.
Sarkozy's stump speeches and debate answers show that he, no less in fact than Hollande, has been contemplating adjustments in the austerity/growth ratio. The upshot is that, whoever wins in France on Sunday, left or right, is probably destined to be –in the words of François Hollande's campaign slogan – the President of change.Reuse content

Two of the biggest musical-theatre stars working today answer questions submitted by the public on a wide range of theatrical topics.
A message from LOUISE and MARK...
This is the book for anyone who's seen a show and thought: 'That could be me…'
That's what we used to think growing up, dreaming of working in musical theatre. Now, after years of hard work, we've been lucky enough to star in some amazing shows, including Wicked, The Book of Mormon, Ghost: The Musical, Evita and Cats.
We've picked up lots of tips from other performers, and have developed our own strategies and solutions too. In this book, using this knowledge and our experiences, we want to draw back the curtain and shine a spotlight onto how you can follow in our footsteps.
What makes our book really different (and useful) is that we asked our fans worldwide to submit questions – and thank you to the hundreds of you who did. Dozens of these questions are featured here, covering every aspect of the industry:
- What is it like training at drama school?
- How can I improve my vocal range?
- How do I prepare for an audition?
- How should I find and select an agent?
- How do I deal with rejection?
- How can I progress from the ensemble to a leading role?
This is a tough and competitive business, but passion, determination, a clued-up approach – and this book – will help see you through. Read it to discover the secrets you need to know, and we hope that one day soon, up on stage, it will be you.
Blog Post: Louise Dearman and Mark Evans on some key moments in their glittering careers: 'I turned to do Fiyero's dramatic exit, which involved running up some narrow stairs and continuing offstage. Off I went, missed my footing, tripped on a step, and landed in the full splits on the staircase...' Read more >>
Visit the Secrets of Stage Success website.
'Useful, cheerful... Reading the encouraging, entertaining words of Dearman and Evans is rather like being present at an extended, in depth Q&A session. You can't help but learn a lot from virtual conversation with people who really know what they're talking about.'
'A must have for anyone in theatre training or even just with a keen interest in theatre… a good, easy read that allows you to go behind the scenes and see what it takes to become that person we see up on stage… you can't get much stagier than this!'
'A superb book for anyone thinking about starting out in this mad world of entertainment… definitely one to add to the library'
'One of the best sources of advice for performers and people thinking about performing as a career I've seen... a down-to-earth book containing sage advice from a personal perspective... a useful resource for generations of performers to come. Highly recommended.'
'An invaluable resource… peppered with interesting stories about life in the industry… an easily readable book which gives plenty of insight into the highs and lows of life as a musical theatre performer.'
Louise Dearman is a musical-theatre performer and recording artist, the first performer to have played both the lead roles (Glinda and Elphaba) in Wicked. Her other performances have included playing Sarah Brown on the UK tour of Guys and Dolls, Eva Peron on the UK tour of Evita, Mimi in the Donmar Warehouse's production of Guys and Dolls and Lucy Harris in the UK production of Jekyll and Hyde.
Mark Evans is an actor, singer, dancer and choreographer.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
Raccoons are curious and smart wild animals that are highly adaptable to living in developed areas near humans. They, like us, are in the pursuit of happiness – food and shelter. Their bandit mask and ringed tail distinguishes them from other common urban wild mammals like skunks and opossums. However, it is their peculiar food "washing" behaviour and their incredible dexterity in manipulating all that they touch, that is quite unique.
Often labeled as dumpster-divers, pond-raiders, and garden-destroyers, raccoons have a bad rap for making a mess in pursuit of the perfect meal. However, their role as scavengers in fact makes them valuable in nature by cleaning up the unwanted foods from other animals. Most active at night, raccoons also forage during the day when resources are available. As intelligent as dogs and cats, they have routines for gathering food and seeking shelter, such as remembering where the best grapes are grown and where the freshest cat food is left out in their neighbourhood. But an easy meal from garbage or pet food is not a healthy staple for their diet and decreases their fear of humans, which sadly will increase their chance of being injured or killed.
Just as they are opportunistic when it comes to food, raccoons are not picky about shelter either. In nature, raccoons will den in tree cavities, brush piles, old stump and abandoned burrows. But in developed areas, a chimney, attic, crawl space, shed, storm sewer, haystacks and barn lofts, make a comfortable resting area. Always prepared, raccoons will usually have more than one den site ready for use at one time in case they need to move out of an area quickly.
You can identify a raccoon with their distinct tracks – they have five toes on the front and hind feet and tracks are usually paired, with the left hind foot placed beside the right forefoot in stride.
A number of people think they are helping raccoons by feeding them, sustaining their bad behaviour and inevitably end up killing them with kindness. Others will even attempt to keep and raise baby raccoons. It is ILLEGAL to keep raccoons as pets in B.C. and by intentionally feeding them inside or outside the home, people are in fact harming the animals. Download our rack card "Don't feed the animals" to learn more or print off and drop in a neighbours mailbox if you suspect they are feeding raccoons.
If you believe that a baby raccoon has been orphaned (loud sounds coming from young, dead mom on road) contact a professional wildlife rehabilitator in your area.
Raccoons are not dangerous to people, but when they lose their fear of people, they may be aggressive towards food and injure our pets. If a raccoon approaches you: yell, stamp your feet, clap your hands and make noise to scare the raccoon away. Note that raccoons are NOT rabies carriers in B.C. However, they can carry a roundworm parasite that is very dangerous to humans and is passed through their feces. Wear a protective mask, gloves and clothing when cleaning areas inhabited by raccoons. Raccoon "latrines" are like community bathrooms – sites where multiple raccoons repeatedly deposit fresh feces on top of old feces in a particular area in their environment. It is important to recognize and clean them when they occur near your house, garden, or anywhere children may play.
First, consider the time of year as babies may be in dens starting as early as March. The best time to address resident raccoon problems is before March or after August as the potential to separate a mother from its young is too high. Use mild harassment techniques that are not harmful to the raccoons or their babies. To start, ensure that all potential food sources are eliminated and determine where they may be residing on your property.
Do-it-yourself exclusion techniques are humane and inexpensive, but may take a little patience:
Place a flashlight or work light in the den site
Play a radio (with a talk radio station) near the den site
Place rags soaked with apple cider vinegar in a plastic container, tape-shut the lid and punch enough holes in the lid so the smell permeates. Place one or more containers in the den or at the entry points if inside is not accessible. Refill the apple cider vinegar as needed every couple days if effect is not working.
In most cases such techniques disturb the raccoons enough that they will want to move out and mothers will even take their babies, one-by-one, to a back-up den site. But you must give them sufficient time to move their young and double check the den before closing up the site.
To prevent raccoons from climbing fruit trees, wrap two-foot-wide sheet metal around the truck of trees at two feet above the ground and trim branches that are providing other access, such as from rooftops or fences.
Raccoons will frequently roll up new garden sod while looking for bugs. Use non-toxic natural Diatomaceous Earth on your lawn to ensure there are no bugs to be found. If a raccoon is raiding your pond, try placing PCV tubes at least 2 ft in length in your pond so the fish can hide inside. Ponds are free buffets for raccoons, herons and other wildlife and none of them know how much you spent on your exotic fish! Nets are dangerous and electrical fences can be harmful. Understand that the wildlife only see your fish as an easy meal so challenge yourself to outsmart them!
No luck on your own? Call the experts – contact a nuisance wildlife management company that uses only exclusion practices and does not trap!
Trapping is inhumane, ineffective and restricted by regional wildlife regulations. Even if you use a live trap, relocating a raccoon to another location is usually a death-sentence. The raccoon will be in danger because it is likely now in the territory of another raccoon as they are widely distributed. A large percentage of wildlife that is removed from the city generally does not survive and just moves the problem to someone else's backyard. Raccoons can be injured in traps and even if they were removed, it will only be a matter of time before another raccoon moves in to claim the existing food source and shelter. Poisoning is also inhumane and could also kill other wild animals or pets.
We want to achieve a raccoon population balance within the urban environment based on available natural food supply. In order to do this we need to keep the food supply restricted by cleaning up garbage, and preventing access to pet food. We can learn to live with raccoons by respecting that they are wild animals and treating them as such.
• Never attempt to feed any wildlife as doing so causes them to they lose their fear of humans. This makes them more likely to being hit by cars or trapped and killed.
• Supervise all pets closely outdoors, keeping them indoors from dusk to dawn.
• The only way to guarantee your cat's safety is by making it an indoor pet. An outdoor-enclosed cat run is also an option.
• Maintain sheds, garages and access to crawl spaces and attics to prevent unwelcome tenants.
Make sure you aren't unknowingly making your home an attractive place to stay for raccoons. Check that:
• Garbage bins and composts are secured
• Fruit fallen from trees is not left on the ground
• Bird feeders are not overflowing with seeds
• Pets are fed inside and no pet food is left outside

Yesterday's Breakfast News (BBC1) featured the traditional early January item about the post-holiday rush to get fit. The hosts on their London sofa handed over to Southampton, where a reporter was standing in a local gym she identified as "LA Fitness".
Interviewed live, the boss acknowledged that many people would begin with a spurt of urgency but then tail off. However, he had a solution: "If you continue to come twice a week, we will incentivise you by repaying the first month's money." Given the programme's peculiar habit of getting the live guests to come back in the second hour and do the first hour's stuff again, he got to make his special offer twice.
This item was a good example of a problem the BBC increasingly has. The Corporation's charter and rulebooks officially exclude advertising for any company except the BBC itself. And the producers of the Southampton work-out segment were as careful as they could be. The shots of the gym avoided the logo and the outfit's name was not included in any captions. Even so, no good businessman was going to get up on the first day of 2008 without taking advantage of a marketing chance.
All programme-makers face the issue in some way. Last month's BBC Sports Personality of the Year event was disfigured by "required" mentions of the sponsor's name. And, officially, BBC shows are still supposed to say "MP3 player" rather than iPod, "painkiller" rather than Nurofen.
But all good reporting - be it fact or fiction - benefits from period detail. Precision about the posters or logos you would see on a certain street on a certain date are a crucial weapon for scriptwriters. Imagine the novels of Tom Wolfe or JG Ballard if they were unable to use brand names.
As Breakfast News again discovered yesterday, it's almost impossible to avoid some level of advertising. But the BBC's enemies will collect such instances as arguments against the organisation remaining officially non-commercial.

Neil Heywood, the 41-year-old British businessman who was murdered in China, had been providing information to the British secret service, the
Wall Street Journal
Heywood, who drove around Beijing with a "007" licence plate, had been giving information to MI6 about top politician Bo Xilai for about a year before he died,
Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, was sentenced to death for Heywood's murder in August, although her execution was suspended. Heywood's initial cause of death in November 2011 was listed as alcohol poisoning, but at her trial, Gu admitted to poisoning him.
Bo was the Communist Party chief of the southwestern city of Chongqing and a leading contender for the leadership of China. His former police chief, Wang Lijun, has also been jailed over Heywood's death.
China has accused Bo of corruption and abusing his authority to try to sweep aside the murder. A criminal probe into Bo began last month.
The UK Foreign Office has refused comment on the matter and in April, Foreign Secretary William Hague said Heywood was not an employee of the government.
However, the spy that Heywood reportedly regularly met with, described him as a "useful" source of information.
Lawyers say Bo in legal limbo
Two lawyers hired by Bo's family, Li Xiaolin and Shen Zhigeng, told Reuters that nearly two weeks after the official announcement of the criminal investigation, they had not been given permission to either see him or represent him.
"Of course not," Shen said, when asked whether he had seen Bo. "The confirmation (I can represent Bo) hasn't been verified. So how can we see (him)?"
Shen said the trial will be after a key Communist Party congress opening on Thursday in Beijing that will usher in a generational leadership change, and which has been overshadowed by the Bo scandal.
"I do not know," Shen said, referring to when the trial may start, but added that it will be "after the 18th Party Congress."
Top party leaders ended a closed-door conclave on Sunday with a decision to formally expel Bo from the party, as a precursor to criminal prosecution.
Beijing-based Li — who was retained by Bo's mother-in-law, Fan Chengxiu, to represent Bo — said he had no idea where the trial might be, but dismissed speculation it could be held at the Supreme People's Court in Beijing.
"There's no evidence for it," Li said by telephone.
Li said he was waiting for the state prosecutor, or the Supreme People's Procuratorate, to approve his application to represent Bo.
"Who knows if (they will) agree or not agree, we have to see what the higher ups say," Shen said.
As China's prosecutors and courts come under Communist Party control they are unlikely to challenge the accusations against Bo. The trial of Gu lasted only seven hours, while the trial of Wang lasted two days.
"All I can say is I hope he will be given a fair trial," Li said, when asked what he thought the prospects for Bo's trial would be.
Li was initially supposed to defend Zhang Xiaojun, an aide to the Bo family, who was sentenced to nine years in jail for acting as an accomplice to the poisoning of Heywood. But Zhang had to use government-appointed lawyers during the trial.

How did this new album and overall concept for it come about, and what are your ultimate goals with it?
Conceptually, all I knew was that it was going to be an instrumental CD with the guitar featured and also that I wanted it to have nice earthy grooves. It evolved in three phases.
What do you find the most challenging aspect of recording a new album?
This is my first solo project and it has taken a long time to start and finish.
Going back as far as you can remember, what song or performance is the first you recall hearing and being affected by.
Without a doubt at 9 years old the Beatles performance on Ed Sullivan was the one event that started my desire to play music and specifically the guitar. Id never seen electric guitars before, the way they blended together with bass, drums and vocals. It was like I was taking it all in as an impression while at the same time wanting to know how the music was made. Their songs still grab me today.
What would you top desert Island classic albums be regardless of genre the albums you turn to time after time for your own personal enjoyment and inspiration?
My desert island albums have remained the same for a long time. As many albums or CDs as Ive listened over the years there are three that immediately come to mind. One would be Taj Mahal Natchl Blues album that Ive been listening to since I was about 14 years old. The thick gumbo earthy grooves always grab me the same way with each listening.
What aspect of the creative process from concept to market, do you personally find to be the most rewarding?
The part of the process I like best is after the music has been charted out and we are ready to go into rehearsal with the rhythm section. I really enjoy the interaction of other musicians contributing along with my own ideas, working out different endings, segues and hearing the song come to life. It feels like I am on a team working together as one unit. Its exciting to hear the song come together. There is often an intimacy to it that I think is unique to creating music. I love the focus on being in the moment and not being distracted. I feel alive during this process and my mind and creativity are often free. In fact I enjoy this process so much that at this point in my life I think I would rather hear a band or musician rehearse instead of seeing them in concert. Ironically, its the process that inspires me more than the finished product. It can be akin to watching a sculptor take a lump of clay, take away and add to come out with a work of art. This is not to say that I dont like to see shows, its just that the journey not the destination holds the most rewards for me.
When the time arises for you to give back for the success and abundance you enjoy, what kinds of opportunities do you look for?
Often situations present themselves to me, giving me the opportunity to give back for the treasures in my life. I believe music has healing qualities and Ive experienced that by watching peoples reactions when playing for them. On a personal level, Ive had the chance to play for friends, ill or dying in the hospital. Ive seen music offer relief, sometime laughter and levity to an otherwise painful and frightening moment in life.
