Spitalfields Antique and Vintage Market
Thursday is antiques day at Spitalfields antiques market. The covered forecourt of the modernized market offers up the usual range of fur stoles and tureens of 'retro' cutlery, but there are many diamonds to be found in the rough. Turn up at 8am to fight off the antiques dealers for the best pieces, which on our last visit ranged from a late Georgian chaise lounge (reasonable at £400) and bronze art deco mirrors.
After the early morning rush, the rest of the day is quieter if you just fancy an idle browse. There's a plethora of antique furniture still available at 3pm, and often at more favourable prices as traders decide to cut losses: we saw 4 red dining chairs dating from the 1950s for just £60, and two silver-plated salad servers for a tenner. The traders are chatty and happy to advise on the condition and age of the goods they're selling. Head to Wayne Lawrence's shop for a mesmerising collection of Victorian screens and 1930s steam-trunks to find your slice of vintage memorabilia.

'Pitch Perfect' stars tease sequel details
The cast of "Pitch Perfect" is giving fans more to look forward to as plans for the sequel start to come together.
In an interview with Zap2It.com, Rebel Wilson says it looks like "all the original Bellas are back" for the second installment of the successful musical comedy. The comedienne reveals that the movie will pick back up with the characters entering into their senior year in college.
While the script is still in the works, Rebel says director Elizabeth Banks has been teasing cast members with some of the top-secret musical numbers that are in store.
Apparently the cast is set to reunite for a "booty camp" in April, where they will learn the songs and choreography ahead of the filming. The movie is looking at a 2015 release date.
The original's breakout star Anna Kendrick, who recorded the soundtrack's hit single "Cups," has been confirmed to return as well.

Woman claims she was groped by TSA agent during security screening
An activist who fronted a national TSA opt-out campaign last year has released a video of a pat down during which she accuses a TSA agent of touching her vagina.
Ashley Jessica, who led the Infowars Opt Out & Film the TSA campaign last Thanksgiving, is shown in the clip undergoing an invasive pat down having exercised her right to refuse to go through a body scanner machine.
Although the two lines at the security gate initially led to a body scanner and a metal detector, the metal detector was roped off as soon as Ashley and her mother joined the queue. When the two opted out, they were told they would receive, "an extensive pat down which would involve going all the way up the leg," according to Ashley.

Harper was born in eastern Canada, but at an early age he moved with his family to Calgary, Alberta. He attended the University of Calgary, where he received both a bachelor's degree (1985) and a master's degree (1991) in economics. Upon graduation he directed his career toward politics and public policy analysis. Harper was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in 1993 as a member of the Reform Party, which had been founded in the 1980s to express both a distinctive role for the western provinces in the Canadian federation and conservative views on social policy. However, he chose not to seek reelection in 1997 after a disagreement with Reform leader Preston Manning. After leaving office, Harper led the National Citizens Coalition, which advocated free enterprise and lower taxes and was critical of the federal response to Quebec separatism.
In 2002 Harper was elected leader of the Canadian Alliance (the successor to the Reform Party), defeating its sitting leader Stockwell Day, and returned to Parliament later that year as leader of the opposition. In 2003 Harper engineered the merger of the Canadian Alliance with the centre-right Progressive Conservative Party to form the Conservative Party of Canada. In 2004 Harper was elected leader of the new party and attempted to define a moderate stance for the Conservatives, advocating tax relief, a balanced budget, and government transparency. He also endorsed conservative social policies that were at odds with many Canadians' beliefs. In the election of 2004 the Conservatives won 99 seats in the House of Commons, and Harper continued as leader of the opposition.
In January 2006 the Conservatives won more than 36 percent of the national vote and captured 124 seats in the House of Commons, and Harper became prime minister of Canada, leading a minority government. He put forward an agenda based on four "pillars": accountability, security, environmental protection, and strong economic management. His government emphasized lower taxes and debt reduction, and he narrowly won parliamentary support for an extension for the Canadian forces that had been deployed to Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks against the United States in 2001. In November 2006 Harper surprised even his supporters when he formally introduced a motion in the House of Commons to "recognize that the Québécois form a nation within a united Canada." This motion was designed to preempt a more extreme one planned by the separatist Bloc Québécois.

Brain aneurysm repair - dischargeAneurysm repair - cerebral - discharge; Cerebral aneurysm repair - discharge; Coiling - discharge; Saccular aneurysm repair - discharge; Berry aneurysm repair - discharge; Fusiform aneurysm repair - discharge; Dissecting aneurysm repair - discharge; Endovascular aneurysm repair - discharge
You had a brain aneurysm. An aneurysm is a weak area in the wall of a blood vessel that bulges or balloons out. Once it reaches a certain size, it has a high risk of bursting. It can leak blood and cause a stroke or bleeding along the surface of the brain (also called a subarachnoid hemorrhage).
You may have had surgery to prevent bleeding or to treat the aneurysm after it bled. The two types of surgery are:
- Open craniotomy (a hole is made in your skull to place a clip on the base of the aneurysm)
- Endovascular repair (the doctor can do surgery on areas of your body through a blood vessel).
What to Expect at Home
If you had bleeding before, during, or after surgery you may have some short- or long-term neurological problems. These may be mild or severe. For many people, these problems will decrease over time or go away.
If you had either type of surgery you may:
- Feel sad, angry, or very nervous. This is normal.
- Have had a seizure and will take medicine to prevent another one.
- Have headaches that may continue for a while. This is common.
What to expect after craniotomyand placement of a clip:
- It will take 3- 6 weeks to fully recover. If you had bleeding from your aneurysm this may take longer. You may feel tired for up to 12 or more weeks.
- If you had a stroke or brain injury from the bleeding, you may have such permanent problems as speech problems, trouble thinking, muscle weakness, or numbness.
- Problems with your memory are common, but these may improve.
- You may feel dizzy or confused, or your speech may not be normal after the surgery. If you did not have any bleeding, these problems should get better or go away soon.
What to expect after endovascular repair:
- You may have pain in your groin area.
- You may have some bruising around and below the incision.
You may be able to start daily activities, such as driving a car, within 1 or 2 weeks if you did not have any bleeding. Ask your doctor for advice.
Make plans to have help at home while you recover.
Follow a healthy lifestyle. If you have high blood pressure, keep it under control. Do not smoke. If you drink alcohol, talk with your doctor about when it is okay to start again. Ask your doctor when it is okay to start sexual activity.
Take your seizure medicine if any was prescribed for you. Your doctor may refer you to a speech, physical, or occupational therapist to help you recover from any brain damage.
If the doctor put a catheter in through your groin (endovascular surgery), it is okay to walk short distances on a flat surface. Limit going up and down stairs to around 2 times a day for 2- 3 days. Do not do yard work, drive, or play sports for at least 2 days -- or when your doctor says it is okay to do so.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when your dressing should be changed. Do not take a bath or swim for 1 week. If you have bleeding, lie down and put pressure on the incision site for 30 minutes.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if you have:
- A severe headache or a headache that gets worse and you feel dizzy
- A stiff neck
- Nausea and vomiting
- Eye pain
- Problems with your eyesight (from blindness to peripheral vision problems to double vision)
- Speech problems
- Problems thinking or understanding
- Problems noticing things around you
- Changes in your behavior
- Feel weak or lose consciousness
- Loss of balance or coordination or loss of muscle use
- Weakness or numbness of an arm, leg, or your face.
Also, call your doctor if you have:
- Bleeding at the incision site that does not go away after you apply pressure
- An arm or leg that changes color, becomes cool to touch, or becomes numb
- Redness, pain, or yellow or green discharge in or around the incision site
- A fever higher than 101 degrees °F or chills
Make sure to follow-up with your surgeon's office within 2 weeks of being discharged from the hospital.
Ask your doctor if you need long-term follow-up and imaging, including CT scans or MRIs of your head.
If you had acerebral spinal fluidshunt placed after aneurysm surgery, you will need regular follow-ups to make sure it functions well.

Breastfeeding moms who need dental work
Being pregnant 5 times came with it's fair share of dental visits between pregnancies. I opted to have cleanings while I was pregnant, but any dental work that needed to be done waited until after I had given birth.
At that point, I was presented with the challenge of expressing my milk before a procedure which involved a numbing medication and tossing milk that I expressed for 24 hours after the procedure. I simply wanted to limit the amount of medication my baby was getting through my breastmilk.
However the biggest challenge was actually getting baby to take the milk from a bottle while I was pumping and tossing. Sometimes I would pump, and then offer an "empty" breast to my baby simply because he wanted to suckle and that's what would calm him.
I used a double pump that I purchased used, from a friend and that saved me a lot of time.
Have you ever had dental work done during a time when you were breastfeeding? What did you do and how did your baby cope?
31st January 2012 03:26 AM #2
I can emphasise with you here Kate as this has been a recent concern of mine.
I recently visited the dentist whilst my husband looked after our baby in the waiting room. My understanding dentist did not give me any medication which would pass into the breastmilk and also let me feed the baby to sleep in the middle of the appointment! So I would recommend finding a dentist who understands what it is like be a breastfeeding mum. But this is probably easier said than done.
On other occasions I have 'built up' to a time when I knew my baby would need expressed breastmilk. For example, by getting him used to a little expressed breastmilk from a bottle each day. I also found it was easier if my husband gave him the expressed milk in the bottle - if it was my then he just wanted the boob!
31st January 2012 10:53 AM #3
Other strategies for offering baby expressed breastmilk include cup feeding and syringe feeding. Baby's from a young age can sometimes manage a straw as well. I had one baby that refused to drink anything from anything other than the breast - this created all sorts of challenges when I was called to a birth.

Savory Fall Dinner Party Sauces & Spreads
When it comes to fall dishes, the opportunities are endless, and we love to get creative! Whether you enjoy sweet over salty, these savory sauces and spreads will surely add an unexpected twist to your dinner party dish.
When it comes to fall dishes, the opportunities are endless, and we love to get creative! Whether you enjoy sweet over salty, these savory sauces and spreads will surely add an unexpected twist to your dinner party dish.
Fall makes way for pumpkin and apple season, cinnamon and other yummy spices, cider and much more. When hosting a dinner party this year, skip the complicated dinner and serve a few mini bites for your guests. Slather your dishes in spreads and jams that taste like your favorite pie or have a more savory bite. Place them between mini sandwiches or serve them as dips that guests can dive into with veggies or toast.
This coffee infused bbq sauce from How Sweet Eats is a tangy, sweet way to slather up your chicken for a dinner or tailgate party this fall. With a subtle hint of coffee and spices, it's a sauce that packs big flavor.
Whenever I hear fig and balsamic in the same sentence, I'm hoping the word brie will follow. The Gingersnap Girl made this jam that was definitely meant for toastadas with cheese or spread in the middle of mini party sandwiches.
Layered on toast or served in a bowl as a festive dip, this pumpkin pie spread is the easiest way to enjoy that slice of fall pie, without the added prep work in the kitchen!
A salty and smoky bacon chutney combined with the sweetness of plums make for an amazing combo for your taste buds. Serve over a pork chop or in a mini grilled cheese sandwich for an added boost of flavor.
This coconut apple butter spread with a hint of maple seems like it could be slathered on anything this fall. Family Fresh Cooking roasts her apples first to give them a soft texture that's perfect for blending. It's vegan too!
If you're looking for an easy, savory party spread, this sun-dried tomato and white bean recipe might just be it. Serve with veggies or thick pieces of olive loaf!
You may think peaches are just a summer fruit, but this peach jam with honey and vanilla can turn your typical pork or turkey dish into a subtle and sweet dish.
Peanut butter is a kitchen staple year round, but this fall-spiced homemade recipe adds a fun autumn twist. A great addition for a peanut butter pie or homemade PB buttercream, the combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger can infuse fall into any dessert.
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

In the past five years, about a dozen Utah high school students or recent graduates have been diagnosed with HIV.
HIV infections among young Utahns have increased slightly, according to new data, just as the state's total number of new infections has ticked up.
"Is that enough to say [it's] a trend? Maybe not, but it's something for us to watch," said Matthew Mietchen, the Utah Department of Health's HIV epidemiologist.
He said the data support the anecdotal reports from HIV providers who say "they are seeing more youth diagnosed."
In 2011, 94 Utahns were diagnosed with HIV, seven more than 2010 but still lower than the 128 cases in 2009.
Last year, 20 percent of the new HIV cases, or 19 infections, were found among youths, defined as ages 13 to 24. That's the highest proportion in the past decade. Youths made up 13 percent of the HIV cases from 2006 to 2009.
And looking at the past five years, the number of 15- to 19-year-olds who developed HIV rose to 14, five more than in the previous five years. No youths ages 13 or 14 have been diagnosed with HIV since at least 2002.
Mietchen said the highest rate of HIV infections is among 20-somethings. Almost 40 percent of the new cases last year were in that age category. It's an "extremely young age to be diagnosed with HIV," he said.
A new national report on HIV found youths made up nearly 26 percent of the new infections in 2010 and that a majority of all youths living with HIV 60 percent didn't know they were infected.
The national data, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, showed most of the new HIV infections were among men who have sex with men. That is also true of the new infections among Utah youths.
The CDC report cites other research showing that men who have sex with men are at higher risk of infection in part because of stigma, discrimination, alcohol and drug use, along with having unprotected sex with older male partners.
To reduce the disease among youths, the CDC calls for evidence-based sex education in schools, which teaches teens about HIV, helps them delay sexual activity and increases condom use among the sexually active. Utah public schools do not use what the CDC considers evidence-based education because teachers are not allowed to advocate the use of contraceptives.
The CDC also urges schools to promote inclusive environments for "sexual minorities" to reduce stigma and discrimination. And it promotes routine HIV screening of everyone ages 13 to 64. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening of all youths by age 16 to 18 and all sexually active youths no matter the age.
Teresa Garrett, director of disease control and prevention at the Utah Department of Health, supports routine testing.
"The more normal it is to have one of these tests," she said, "the more people we'll diagnose, the fewer people will slip through the cracks and everyone will be healthier."

Thanks for the detailed reply. Here is another one i found that fits the bill ( i thnk):[...]Is this good enough?
I see your point with having two supplies (one for current and other for voltage)

Faced with the persistent threat of wildfire in remote Range Creek Canyon, the University of Utah proposes bringing cattle back to the archaeological research area in the hopes of knocking back invasive cheatgrass.
Conditions were so hazardous last summer that rockfall triggered a fire that burned 900 acres up canyon from the field station. The Lighthouse Fire was the fourth since the canyon southeast of Price came into public ownership a decade ago, according to Duncan Metcalfe, the U. anthropology professor who oversees excavations there.
Through a program of "prescriptive" grazing, Metcalfe hopes a couple hundred cows can devour much of the cheatgrass that carpets the canyon floor every spring. This two-foot-high annual dries out early and can easily ignite by the time fire season hits.
But cheatgrass, though nutritious, is palatable for only a brief window in the spring, perhaps a week or two, before its seed heads cure into prickly pods.
Jim Catlin, a conservation ecologist with the Wild Utah Project, wonders whether intensive short-term grazing would do more harm than good, especially near the creek.
"If this is such a good idea, why has it not worked anywhere else?" he asked. "It leads to compaction and loss of native plant species. Cattle always hit riparian areas first. It's the Chuck-A-Rama of forage. It has both water and grass. You can't tell a cow to eat just one thing."
The canyon had been grazed for more than a century while the Wilcox family owned the bottom lands in the lower canyon and controlled the surrounding public lands. A decade ago they transferred 1,513 acres to the state, which has entrusted the U.'s Natural History Museum of Utah with managing the undisturbed archaeological resources along with two adjacent 640-acre sections of state land.
Grazing is allowed under the conservation easement attached to the former Wilcox land, which is to be managed primarily for research and the preservation of its ancient Fremont Indian sites.
The Bureau of Land Management administers the slopes towering above the canyon floor. No cattle have been here since the transfer except for some limited grazing in 2006-07.
Dozens of students live and work in the canyon at the height of fire season. Their safety concerns Metcalfe most. A fire in the narrow canyon could trap researchers and destroy the historic ranch buildings that now house the U.'s Range Creek Archaeological Field School.
Flammable cheatgrass is a noxious import from Eurasia that has proliferated across the West, displacing native plant communities, particularly in disturbed areas.
Reducing it would address the fire threat arising from the high levels of woody vegetation that have built up, according to Roger Banner, a retired Utah State University professor of wildland resources who helped design the plan.
"You would have some control of the trigger fuels. If you have a high stock density they can reduce seed production considerably," Banner said.
"We are moving through so quickly we don't expect them to eat much else than cheat," Metcalfe said. "We'll never eliminate it. That stuff is a cancer. We can knock it down and we'll have to gauge the effects, see if benefits outweigh the costs. We'll revise the grazing plan every year. It's an experiment."
The U. proposal would not resurrect the canyon's old grazing allotments, officials stressed. The BLM is now conducting an environmental review.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I am having the exact same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey everyone!
I recently installed BT4 on my HP mininote and have run into a few problems.
First of all, my wireless (yes, a broadcom, i know how to fix that) and ethernet cards are not recognized.
My main problem is the Ethernet card. It is being recognized by lspci | grep -i net and it is a Marvel 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.
My first thought was to look at Marvel website and download the driver for linux. that worked okay untill the install hit a step saying modpost was not in the kernel or something along those lines, and that I was supposed to rebuild the kernel with that enabled. However, when I checked the path with the modules directory, I did find the binary and source file for modpost...
Has anyone had the same problem as me, or does anyone know a fix / what to do? I have searched here before, but sadly I only found fixes for kernels < 184.108.40.206.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Best regards,

'After recording a minus-22 rating his first three seasons with Calgary, he was plus-six in 2003-04.'
Archives for August 2005
Sabres acquire D Lydman from Flames
Flames ship Lydman to Buffalo
'A fifth-round pick of the Flames in 1996, Lydman has netted 93 points (19 goals, 74 assists) in 289 games over four seasons with Calgary. He has also posted three straight seasons of 20 or more points.'
Sabres Trade For A Defenseman
'Lydman, the 6-1, 202 lb.-native of Lahti, Finland, appeared in 67 games for Calgary in the 2003-04 season, collecting 20 points (4+16) in 67 games. Fourteen of his 20 points (2+12) came on the power play. Lydman represented Finland in the 2004 World Cup, finishing third on the team in scoring with three points (0+3) in six games.'
Sabres & Capitals To Play In Rochester
'"I am thrilled that we will be returning to Rochester again this season," said Larry Quinn, Sabres' Managing Partner. "By giving our fans in Rochester this exciting opportunity to attend a live NHL game in their hometown, it further demonstrates our commitment to making the Buffalo Sabres a regional team."'
Sabres acquire Lydman
'Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today that the team has acquired defenseman Toni Lydman from the Calgary Flames in exchange for Buffalo third-round selection in the 2006 NHL entry Draft.'
Traveling to Rochester
'The Buffalo Sabres announced today that the team will be playing a regular season home game in Rochester on Wednesday, October 26th at 7:30 p.m. versus the Washington Capitals at Blue Cross Arena.'
Sabres' enforcer admits using andro in 2003
'Peters did not break any laws or NHL rules at the time and has stopped using the performance enhancer since the Food and Drug Administration banned its sale in April 2004, his agent, Steve Bartlett, said Thursday. "It's obviously something that, looking back on it, he wishes in some ways he hadn't," Bartlett told The Associated Press. "And he's been very clear that knowing what he knows today, he wouldn't use it again."'
Peters admits using andro
'"You use what's at your disposal," Andrew Peters said. "No one said you can't, so why not? We didn't do anything illegal. It was a supplement. We weren't hiding anything. I had nothing to hide. My girlfriend at the time knew. My parents knew."'
Unsigned McKee waits for call
'If McKee doesn't reach terms on an extension by next Thursday, he will accept the Sabres' one-year qualifying offer for about $1.6 million and become an unrestricted free agent next summer. The defenseman is Buffalo's longest-tenured player. "The ball is in their court," McKee said Wednesday. "We're still waiting to hear back from them."'
67's Mancari hopes to wow Sabres at camp
'Mancari, who has not been signed by the Sabres, wants to show Buffalo brass that he can earn a spot with the team's AHL affiliate in Rochester. "The plan is to go there and then we'll wait and see what happens," said Mancari from his parents' home in London, Ont., yesterday.'
Kennedy: One Step Closer
'"His upside, in my opinion, is really high."'
Tuesday's Rochester Coverage
Charron golf tournament to benefit Cystic Fibrosis (Amerks.com)
Hitting the links for good causes
'A slew of Buffalo Sabres were out in force on Monday participating in various charitable golf tournaments to benefit different causes.'
Bettman lays NHL's future on the table
'For survival's sake, Bettman is banking on the new rules revolutionizing his sport, paralleling the NBA's maneuver 25 years ago. But time will tell whether the long-term health of hockey has benefited or if the rules are merely temporary appetizers.'
Sabres still working to get in the game
'"I think we're sitting in a good position," Sabres center Daniel Briere said. "I don't think we have a team right now to win the Stanley Cup, to be honest with you, but we have a lot of room under the salary cap, and we can make some moves."'

Chromium in dietDiet - chromium
Chromium is an essential mineral that is not made by the body and must be obtained from the diet.
Chromium is important in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Chromium stimulates fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, which are important for brain function and other body processes. Chromium is also important in the breakdown (metabolism) of insulin.
Food Sources
The best source of chromium is brewer's yeast, but many people do not use brewer's yeast because it causes bloating (abdominal distention) and nausea.
Other good sources of chromium include the following:
- Beef
- Liver
- Eggs
- Chicken
- Oysters
- Wheat germ
- Green peppers
- Apples
- Bananas
- Spinach
Black pepper, butter, and molasses are also good sources of chromium.
Side Effects
Chromium deficiency may be seen as impaired glucose tolerance. It is seen in older people with type 2 diabetes and in infants with protein-calorie malnutrition. Supplementation of chromium helps with management of these conditions, but it is not a substitute for other treatment.
Because of the low absorption and high excretion rates of chromium, toxicity is not common.
The Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine recommends the following dietary intake for chromium:
- 0 - 6 months: 0.2 micrograms per day (mcg/day)
- 7 - 12 months: 5.5 mcg/day
- 1 - 3 years: 11 mcg/day
- 4 - 8 years: 15 mcg/day
- Males age 9 - 13 years: 25 mcg/day
- Females age 9 – 13 years: 21 mcg/day
Adolescents and Adults
- Males age 14 -50: 35 mcg/day
- Males age 51 and over: 30 mcg/day
- Females age 14 - 18: 24 mcg/day
- Females age 19 - 50: 25 mcg/day
- Females age 51 and older: 20 mcg/day
The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods from the food guide plate.
Specific recommendations depend on age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy). Women who are pregnant or producing breast milk (lactating) need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Perhaps you woke up every morning this winter and glanced out the window at the robin's-egg-blue skies, relished the mid-60s temperatures, and profusely thanked your preferred deity that you found a way to call South Florida home. But in case your personal comfort and sanity weren't reason enough to thank the Miami weather gods, they've given residents another invaluable gift: NBC 6 news anchor Trina Robinson. Robinson is as talented as they come, with a background in investigative reporting, anchoring, and meteorology; a pitch-perfect deep voice; and a charismatic on-air presence. But if it weren't for those sunny winter mornings, she'd probably be plying her trade up North somewhere. "Mostly the weather" keeps her in town, Robinson told New Times last year. "You can be outside every day; you don't have to worry about snow — I have a total aversion to snow." Robinson's reporting has garnered multiple Emmys, and she's been in front of several big news stories in recent years, including breaking pieces about a ring illegally injecting deadly silicone mixtures into transgender women. Crack open your windows, catch that sea breeze, and tune in to NBC 6. We're a lucky town.
How do you know when an art gallery has catapulted into the art-world stratosphere? When collectors from Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Paris quickly buy out its entire stock at a major art fair. That was exactly what happened to Spinello Projects at the Volta New York fair, where major collectors plunked down serious cash to pluck 25 of Farley Aguilar's atmospheric paintings off the Spinello booth walls within two hours of opening its doors, to the delight of Anthony Spinello and his rising art star. Spinello, who has experienced a meteoric rise since he became a dealer in 2005, heads one of only two local galleries invited to participate in Art Basel Miami Beach the past two years running. It's no accident. The dealer has demonstrated a keen eye for spotting talent and represents locals ready to burst onto the national stage, from Aguilar to Santiago Rubino, Sinisa Kukec, Agustina Woodgate, Typoe, Manny Preires, and Antonia Wright. The main reason: He inspires fierce loyalty. For Spinello, the program he runs is a passion. He can often be found at his artists' studios or his gallery working elbow-to-elbow with the talents on their projects. Spinello has become known not only for producing edgy, thought-provoking, and seamlessly organized exhibits, but also for assembling a stable that functions as a family network of supportive talent rather than a roster of individual egos. In a business known for ruthless competitiveness, that level of loyalty is an all too uncommon trait.
During the past five years, Jillian Mayer has catapulted to national prominence as an artist and filmmaker who creates uncanny works that employ a postmillennial techno approach while blurring identities and parsing pop cultural memes. She burst onto the scene with her 2010 Scenic Jogging, in which the artist raced after bucolic screen-saver images projected onto Wynwood warehouses. That piece later won the Guggenheim's YouTube Play biennial, where it earned Mayer raves. The next year, Mayer followed with I Am Your Grandma — a viral, deliciously creepy gem in which she sings as the bizarre granny of her future progeny; it has earned 2.6 million YouTube views and counting. She also released Giving Birth to Myself, which headlined her solo show "Family Matters" at the David Castillo Gallery with a disturbing meditation on maternity where the sweat-soaked talent re-emerges as a baby slathered in acid-green slime. In 2012, Mayer and frequent collaborator and founder of the Borscht Film Festival, Lucas Leyva, snagged national headlines after their film The Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke screened at Sundance and earned the duo inclusion in Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film." Last year, Mayer's clever How to Hide From Cameras, a YouTube makeup tutorial on how to remain anonymous in an increasing surveillance state, was a finalist at the Museum of Contemporary Art's popular Optic Nerve video fest, while her film #PostModem, yet another collaboration with Leyva, screened at Sundance. These days, not only is Mayer riding a hot hand, but the wildly creative artist has also proven herself a chameleon-like changeling who's startlingly at ease with forever reinventing herself.
David Beckham is smitten with the idea of constructing a new Major League Soccer Stadium at PortMiami and calls the site perfect because it reflects a city that "is all about the water, all about the culture." Becks is right. For evidence, simply visit the planet's most popular port to discover Coral Reef City, Bhakti Baxter's first large-scale public artwork in Miami. For his eye-popping project, part of Miami-Dade County's Art in Public Places program, the homegrown artist created site-specific designs for the port's toll collection booths that reference the site's unique role as gateway to the tropics. Baxter collaborated with Coral Morphologic, a Miami-based scientific art endeavor led by marine biologist Colin Foord and musician Jared McKay to create the 18 unique designs that wrap each individual toll booth. Each delivers a stunning vision of our vibrant local sea life. To accomplish the feat, Baxter and his collaborators enlarged macro photographs of corals that inhabit the waters in and around Miami, creating a striking synergy between nature and art that captures our town's appeal as a pulsating paradise. The resulting explosion of the brilliant, rainbow-hued colors of the soft corals (technically known as zoanthids) delights not only the likes of Beckham and the millions of other visitors passing through on cruise ships, but also locals, who rarely get a chance to behold the mystery and beauty of the creatures populating our coastline.
Wynwood may be the heart of a growing global graffiti movement, but some of its murals are surprisingly soulless. Whether they depict a cool-ass dragon perched atop a mountain peak or cartoon characters committing acts of violence, many are brilliantly drawn but little more, like flashy wallpaper for warehouses. Few of the works strive to stir something inside passersby. On the southwest corner of NW Third Avenue and 27th Street, towering gold letters spell "I remember paradise" against a rainbow background. The mural, by Londoner Lakwena Maciver, is meant to invoke human longing for a lost era. "We all have this sense that there is something wrong with the world but that once there was something perfect," Maciver told New Times. It's a beautiful painting, and one that has formed the backdrop for Beyoncé Instagrams and glossy magazine spreads. But it's actually the mural cater-cornered that makes us nostalgic. There, a heavily tattooed man holds a gorgeous woman in a tender embrace. A shuttered doorway is transformed into a birdcage. The mural, by Peruvian duo Entes y Pésimo (Beings & Dreadful), perfectly captures modern-day Miami: young, Hispanic, interracial, part tattooed thug, part tender romantic. The man's face is pensive, his stance protective. The woman, unashamedly in love, stares straight out at you. How wonderfully disarming to walk through Wynwood on a weekend night, past posturing dudes and pretending chicks, and stumble upon such intimacy.
The eyes of Miami are stoned on Elmer's and see everything. The sleepy sentinels keep watch over Wynwood at NW 27th Street, make their mark on the Margulies Collection facing I-95, boldly impress passersby on Biscayne Boulevard, and peer down from above the kitchen at the bayside Standard Hotel. Whatever their location or color scheme, they are stacked by the dozens, sometimes even hundreds, and leave an impression whether or not you know the name of the man who wields the can that created the memorable work. The ignorance stops here, because the local artist deserves your recognition. "AholSniffsGlue" is not only the funniest street artist name in town, but it also gets to the heart of the whole droopy-lidded genius of his best-known trademark. But lazy eyes aren't all he draws. He's had solo exhibits of his multimedia artwork at Gregg Shienbaum and Mercenary Square and has been part of group affairs at Scope and Wynwood Art Fair. But it's the half-mast eyes that are his calling card and most notable addition to the Miami street art scene. Next time you see them, call it out: "AholSniffsGlue!" You'll look cool in front of your friends.

" The Leadmill, 6 Leadmill Road , Sheffield S1 4SE, Tel: 0114 2212828 "
Leadmill is one of the most popular alternative clubs in Sheffield, having been on the scene since 1980. It features a wide variety of music, catering to all tastes from mainstream to punk to indie to ska.
There are two main rooms within the club. Room one is the bigger of the two, and often plays the more popular club tunes, along with some general chart music. Room two plays a more 'indie' selection; stay in there for long enough and you're guaranteed to hear The Smiths, The Cure, Arctic Monkeys, Madness, Bloc Party, The Strokes and more. As a general rule, room one is more crowded, though both rooms are equally fun.
The weekly club nights during academic term are Shag on Mondays, Gaga on Fridays and Sonic Boom on Saturdays. Shag and Gaga are probably the busiest of the three, as they accommodate a mainstream audience, while on Sonic Boom nights, Room 1 changes to indie, and Room 2 is mostly 60's. Gaga nights are often a lot of fun; in the last year, they've had candy floss, popcorn, a bucking bronco, and more.
Leadmill is also occasionally the home of Itchy Feet, an alternative travelling club night, which accommodates for a variety of tastes - Swing, Jazz, Funk, Rock and Roll... It's all there. I've been to two of these nights, and I could not recommend them more. It draws an interesting crowd, and is definitely a fun night out if you fancy something other than the normal club music.
Alongside being a club venue, Leadmill is also a live music venue. The acoustics are great, and I've yet to have a problem with the quality of a view or overcrowding. As a rule, Leadmill doesn't draw quite the same caliber of bands as it did in the 80's - they mostly go to the O2 or Motorpoint now - but the larger indie bands, such as Noah and the Whale or the Guillemots, still play at Leadmill.
It is located a little bit off the beaten track, between the town centre and the train station. This may sound ideally located, but for most it involves a cab ride to get there. It's about a 15 minute walk from the city centre, and a 25 minute walk from the university campus. The nearest tram stop is at Sheffield Train Station, but the last trams are before midnight.
Price wise, Leadmill can be hit and miss. Entry is often free before midnight if you send off for a text, and certain shots are sometimes £1 before midnight, but after that drinks can get pretty pricey. Would recommend not aiming to drink too much here if you want to keep the price down!!
The club closing hour changes daily - 2am Monday-Thursday, 4am Friday and 3am Saturdays. This is more than sufficient for most, however, and the guards are pretty good with getting people out slowly.
Overall, I'd say that Leadmill provides a great clubbing experience. The audience is pretty widespread, and the music played caters for everyone. Class night out!
I haven't been to Sheffield that many times, so I can't really comment on the drinks culture there. But a few years ago, my girlfriend went to university in Sheffield for a year and her hall's were literally opposite this venue, so it was fair to say that any weekend we had together was spent in here.
I remember phone calls from her in the week, drunkenly asking me to help her get home which was highly improbable as she lived opposite as previously said and I was in Cardiff at the time!!!!!! Her and her flat mates used to go there for the benefit of cheap drinks; 80's night didn't mean just the music was 80's but the drinks were 80p a go too. She used to brag about rounds between two of them costing £3.20 for two pints and two vodka and cokes, so no wonder they were drunk!!!
The few times that I have been there, I have enjoyed the experience. Obviously going only at the weekend, the drinks were a little more expensive, but as they aren't very expensive in the first place, the prices are about £1.50 for a bottle of lager.
There are two rooms at the venue. The larger room holds a couple of hundred people, and they hold regular gigs for popular touring bands as well as club nights after the gigs finish. There is also a modern bar at the far end which acts as a little chill out area to the main room. The smaller room holds about 100 people and has a small bar in it. This tends to be the room where the gig goers start their nights drinking, and at the weekends, it is normally host to modern indie tunes.
On the whole, The Leadmill is a cheap place to go to if you're into your bands and the indie scene. I would recommend it to anyone
Having grown up in Sheffield before heading to University in Manchester, I now realise that Sheffield is, sadly, lacking in the number of decent places to go out at night. Whilst there are some great bars down both Division and West Streets, the club scene was dealt a great blow with the demise of Gatecrasher, several years ago.
So where could you go on a Sheffield night out?
Well, there's Embrace, sporting a massive dance-floor and great chart-tunes and the occasional older song; but this is overshadowed by its often extortionate drinks prices, high entry fee, (still, somehow) overcrowded dance-floor and unwelcoming atmosphere, particularly from the bouncers outside, who will dispose of your presence if if they don't fancy the particular colour top you're wearing that night.
Then there's Plug, which, I have to say is actually one of my old favourites. I used to go a lot in my late teens, and thursday nights always played the best 90s tunes, alongside cheap drinks and, if you fancied it, a rockin' Indie room next door to the main dance-floor. The only problem now is that on thursdays the 90s tunes are really limited, and many nights tend to be really overcrowded, particularly between rooms, meaning you have to wait in large crowds to try and push through. If you lose someone it can take ages to find them again!
Carling Academy is a great space with good music and cheap drinks, but can sometimes actually feel a bit empty because of its size. And Corporation is always a fantastic night out, though not to everyone's tase. You have to really love the underground, rough feel of this club to have a good night, but the drinks are dirt dirt cheap and the atmosphere is great.
And then there's Leadmill, located just by the train station, not far from a take-away and various bus-stops (there are always taxis outside the club too).
I can honestly say I have never once had a bad night at Leadmill. From the moment you walk through the doors there's a great atmosphere. The space is big enough, but not so large that the place feels lacking or empty. There's a main dancefloor which plays a great mix of chart and cheese, and a smaller but still spacious Indie room that plays everything from Muse to Blink 182. Drinks are ridiculously cheap (bottles of Strongbow or Carlsberg for 60p and Vodka shots for a quid) and the whole place just has a great feel to it.
Dancing chicks, Indie boys, students and working folk alike mix together and the rooms are directly adjacent, so much so that it's almost as if there's one large dancefloor that plays different music at each side.
I don't want to give the impression that the other clubs are bad, by any means; I visit them quite often, it's just that I don't think that any one of them offers an all round great experience in the same way Leadmill does. The real pro about this club is that is truly does have something for everyone. It's Sheffield's oldest club, and has such warm character to it. For students in particular, mondays are great but weekends are always good for anyone. If you're in Sheffield for a one off night - this is the place to go!
I first visited Leadmill after i joined the city for the university there, the thing i love about Leadmill is the music, cheap drinks and the friendly people you get in there. The nightclub is split into two rooms, the main room will play the top chart hits and a bit of cheesy music and the other room which is slightly smaller will play all the indie anthems of past and present, the great thing about this is you can request your songs on a piece of a paper and hand it to the DJ who will then play it. The drinks vary depending on the day you'll visit the nightclub, Mondays and Wednesdays are 60p on drinks such as Strongbow and Carlsberg bottles. Then £1 for shots and Vk drinks, which is very good value for anyone visiting the club. The price of entry is about £4 for students with student ID and £5 for anyone wishing to come in. I love the different styles of clothing you'll get in there, its kind of a vintage kind of style you'll find. The bouncers can be a bit pushy at times but there fair if you havent had to much to drink on your entry into the club. Overall i have had some amazing nights out at Leadmill and would recommend it to anyone looking for a night out in Sheffield.
With Sheffield being one of the largest cities in the country you can probably imagine that when it comes to nightlife there is a huge range of different places to go. Most of the clubs that were around when I was an 18 year old (I am now 39) have disappeared and there is a whole number of new, large trendy venues that I have neither visited nor have any desire to do so.
The Leadmill nightclub is one of the few places that was around all those years ago and is still going strong today. In 2005 the Leadmill celebrated its 25th anniversary and now it is officially the city's longest running nightclub.
Back in 1980 Sheffield was a pretty run down place as many of the steelworks that had made the city famous closed down and the phrase amongst the youth of the day was "No hope, no future." The opening of the Leadmill in a derelict flour mill in a run down part of the city was a direct response to the lack of cultural opportunities in the city at that time. It was an era when youth unemployment was soaring out of control.
The choice of venue was quite clever as the large derelict mill provided plenty of space and opportunity to create a unique venue from scratch. Part of this building had previously housed the legendary "Esquire Club" where during the sixties The Who, Jimi Hendrix and the Small Faces had all played.
The principal aim of the Leadmill in those early days was to provide a venue for live acts to perform in a relaxed atmosphere. There was a late bar serving alcohol until 2am and each night of the week quickly became themed, ranging from sixties and seventies disco to jazz. Friday and Saturday nights were largely reserved for the new bands of the day and many people including myself would join the long queues and watch whichever band was playing on that particular night.
Musically speaking Sheffield in the early 1980's was a very exciting place. The lack of employment opportunities channelled the musical talents of many of the local youths to form bands and this was to give rise to the likes of The Human League, ABC, Heaven 17, Pulp, and The Thompson Twins, all of whom hailed from Sheffield and made some of their earliest performances on the Leadmill stage.
The Leadmill quickly established itself as the premier live venue in the city and such acts as Cabaret Voltaire, Killing Joke, The Fall, Nico from the Velvet Underground, Everything But The Girl, Marc Almond, JoBoxers, UK Subs, Prefab Sprout, Big Audio Dynamite, New Order and The Pogues all performed in its early days.
In September 1982 a new Band called Culture Club played there, the admission price on that particular night was just 50p and the following week they were at number one in the charts with "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?". A few weeks later the Leadmill turned down Madonna who wanted an appearance fee of £75 in favour of Ipso Factor who were happy to perform for just £25.
It was also around this time that the "Beat Club" was launched, a 60's and 70's disco held every Thursday night. This still takes place now but sadly does not have a regular current slot at the moment, although it did take place a couple of months ago and yes I was there. The Beat Club is one of the longest consecutively running club nights in the country.
In 1984 The Housemartins travelled from Hull to perform at the Leadmill just prior to their first chart topping success but they were accidentally refused entry by the door staff, whilst a few weeks later that same year an up and coming band called Simply Red premiered their new song "Money's too tight to mention".
The late 1980's and the early 1990's were the years that I frequented this place almost every weekend and although the list of bands that I saw is far too long to list here the ones that I recall seeing included Texas, The Happy Mondays, Primal Scream and The Inspiral Carpets. I saw all of these acts before they became famous.
There are two large rooms each with a bar and playing different music depending on the night. The largest room where the stage on which live bands play is located also has a cafe, a fast food outlet and a cloakroom.
The inside of the Leadmill today is pretty much the same as I remember it all those years ago, although these days there is only one set of toilets where there used to be two.
There is now a Lounge Bar which offers a chill out area located where the other set of toilets used to be. There are disabled toilets available and the venue is located on one level so wheelchair access is possible. The venue does however get very crowded so may prove to be a little uncomfortable for people with severe disabilities.
The Leadmill is located less than a five minutes walk from the main bus interchange and railway station. There is also a large taxi rank at the railway station but taxi's can usually be hailed outside.
This is still a fantastic place and today it is still a privately owned independent venue which despite its commercial success has refused to compromise many of its original principles. It is both a nightclub venue with regular club nights and a gig venue for current bands of the day. The capacity is just over 1000 so it attracts the medium sized bands of the moment who cannot sell out the larger venues in the city like the City Hall or Arena.
I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Nemanja Vidic, Nemanja Matic and Branislav Ivanovic have all developed their skills in this league before making their names known in he elite leagues. With feisty players like these being developed there, who can afford to miss a game of their schedule? Vidic jerseys still dominate the fans of the Serbia Meridian Super League, however it'd be worth getting a FK Radnicki Nis jersey or a Vojvodina one.

English superstar George Michael, who suffered a near-fatal bout of pneumonia in late 2011, reportedly fell out of a car going 70 mph, according to an eye witness and reported by the U.K.'s Independent.
Michael, who was the passenger, was airlifted by helicopter to a local hospital, where he remains as this piece was written. His spokesperson said, ""He has a couple of bumps and grazes and cuts to the head, but he's making good progress and looking forward to getting out."
The witness, 23-year-old Katherine Fox, said she provided protection on the M1 motorway near London so that the 49-year-old former Wham! singer wouldn't get run over by high-speed traffic. The M1 Motorway, the British version of a freeway, runs from London to Leeds in northern England. Fox said that she was told that Michael's door hadn't closed properly and he fell out when he tried to fix it.
She added, "There was a nasty cut on his forehead and the back of his head. There was blood all down his face and on his teeth. He was breathing and conscious but in shock."
In 2010, Michael got a two-month prison sentence and received a five-year driving ban after crashing his car while driving stoned. In 2006, he got a two-year driving ban and 100 hours of community service after he was found passed out in his car, again, after smoking pot.
Jon Bon Jovi just turned 51. He's been a major star for nearly three decades, ever since his band, Bon Jovi's self-titled debut album went double-platinum in 1984. Justin Bieber just turned 19 and has been a huge teen idol for three years, although it might seem a lot longer.
Lately, Beiber's behavior has drawn the attention of the older, far more experienced singer from New Jersey. Beiber has been woefully late onstage at two shows on his British and European tour, including for a big London gig, where he was more than two hours late. After that show, he blamed "technical difficulties."
Also, he recently threatened the life of a photographer; he ditched his pet monkey in Germany; he was caught smoking pot; and his gangster-ish behavior may be turning off his fans. This may explain why he was loudly booed at last Sunday's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas when he accepted the Milestone Award.
Bon Jovi told Britain's Evening Standard, "Every generation has guys that do that, none of that is new. They run the risk of disrespecting their audience members who have worked hard to pay for their ticket, to give you the permission to take two or three hours of their lives - or in that kid's case, 80 minutes of their lives. Do it once, you can be forgiven. Do it enough times and shame on you. They won't have you back. Then it just becomes a clich?. It's really not cool - you're an (blank)hole. Go to (blanking) work!"
Of course, the singer was asked about the prolonged absence on Bon Jovi's current world tour of his band's other frontman, guitarist Richie Sambora, who has had problems with alcohol and missed 13 gigs during the group's 2011 tour (Canadian Phil X is subbing). His reply, "It's getting more and more difficult every day to not just sit here and say something, because all I can say is this: it's for personal reasons. He's been through it before.Fortunately for us the same guy who filled in last time was available this time."
To the U.K.'s Daily Mirror he added, ""He's not fired, we didn't have a fight, it certainly isn't about money. We go back 30 years. He can return when he is ready to die every night the way I walk on the stage. It's different without Richie. No one's mad, no one's sad."
After 31 years, popular Athens, Ga. alt rockers R.E.M. called it a day in 2011, four years after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The trio that consisted of singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills (drummer Bill Berry retired in 1997 and became a farmer) posted on its website, "As lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished."
Apparently, they meant it. Mills told Rolling Stone, "We said we're done and we're done. If we honestly thought there was a chance of a reunion tour, we might have said so at the time."
Mills added that the three of them remain good, close pals. There were no real factors other than deciding it was time to break up," says Mills. As for the usual reasons for ending the band, he said, "There's no drug abuse. There's no in-fighting. There's no legal problems. It was time to break up.
That's never really been done before. The idea of breaking up and not reforming for a reunion tour is kind of attractive to us. I doubt you'll see us touring as R.E.M. again. On the other hand, I just played with Peter (Buck) in New York City the other night, so fun things do happen."
Such is not the case with salsa band, The Fania All-Stars, who formed in New York City in 1968 and were huge in Latin circles and Third World countries in the '70 s. In 1974, they played before 44,000 fans in Yankee Stadium, and a few months earlier they headlined a gig in Zaire (Africa), with James Brown before 80,000 people prior to the Muhammad Ali-George Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" heavyweight title fight.
The band's concept was that all 15 musicians would essentially be their own band leader. That concept and the band fell apart in the '80 s. There have been reunions over the decades.
The Fania All-Stars will reunite in Los Angeles at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel on May 25 for a performance at La Salsa Congress International Latin Music & Dance Festival, reports Rolling Stone. They're calling the reunion "Legends of Salsa" because of legal reasons.
Original All-Stars singers Ismael Maranda and Adalberto Santiago will star.
Miranda, who was only 19 when he joined the group in 1969, says, "The old guys became my friends and mentors. Sadly, I've seen most of them pass away, one after the other. Now I see it as my responsibility to keep this music alive. I want it to go on forever."
Ray Manzarek, whose trademark keyboard work as co-founder of L.A. band The Doors provided a signature for some of the biggest hits of the '60 s and '70 s, died at age 74 in a hospital in Rosenheim, Germany, after a long fight with bile duct cancer.
The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, and were presented with a Lifetime Achievement by the Grammys in 2007, the same year they received their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The L.A. quartet's debut single in January 1967, "Break On Through," bombed, but its next 45 that followed three months later, "Light My Fire," that kicks off with Manzarek's now iconic organ, guaranteed the band international overnight stardom. In 1998, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame (joined by their 1971 smash, "Riders on the Storm" in 2010). It's also ranked No. 35 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
The Doors' first six albums each hit the Billboard Top 200 Top 10, with the initial three LPs, "The Doors," "Strange Days" and "Waiting for the Sun," each reaching the Top 3 with "Sun" topping the chart in 1968. Their first concert LP, "Absolutely Live," came out in July 1970 between the No. 4 charting "Morrison Hotel" and 1971's No. 9 "L.A. Woman," also was a Top 10 hit, peaking at No. 8. The foursome sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and were the first American group to rack up eight straight gold albums.
The Doors officially disbanded in 1971, two years after the mysterious death in Paris of the band's singer and focus of attention, the controversial Jim Morrison, at age 27.
Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger, with whom Manzarek recorded and toured for decades in their ceaseless efforts to keep their music alive, wrote, "Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison were the two most unusual people I have ever known. It didn't take long to realize this about Jim. He was obviously a genius, and he worked hard at being different. Did a good job of it too."
"Ray on the other hand, was a late bloomer. I guess it took all of his (and our) energies to keep Jim in line. The real Ray didn't appear until after Jim was gone. He was constantly doing projects with different people, producing, playing with different poets. He always saw the good side of people, and that was his genius. He was the only guy at UCLA that saw something good about Jim. Everyone else thought of Jim as a phony or worse."
"He saw the genius of Jim's words and the rest is history. Ray sure did influence my life, and I hope yours to. I'll always be grateful to John for introducing me to Ray and Jim, and I'll never forget them."
Doors drummer John Densmore, with whom Manzarek and Krieger fought for decades in print and in court, wrote, "There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison's words. Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother."
It didn't take long for the tributes to come pouring in. Alice Cooper, who, with The Doors, were fixtures on the Sunset Strip in the late '60 s, where The Doors were the house band at the famed Whiskey a Go-Go, tweeted, "Absolutely stunned by the loss of my old friend Ray Manzarek of The Doors... Stunned. RIP Ray." Slash tweeted, "RIP Ray Manzarek, words cannot express...," while "Late Night With David Letterman" bandleader Paul Shaffer sent, "The sound of Ray Manzarek's organ will forever reverberate in the cathedral of Rock and Roll." Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry's tweet read, "I am very saddened by the loss of Ray Manzarak - now he's with Jim. They mean as much to me today as they did 40 years ago."
Pasadena Star-News Editor Frank Girardo summed it up, writing in an opinion piece that Manzarek "defined the sound of the Doors, the band that provided a sound track for the Vietnam War era with its psychedelic acid-fueled late '60 s L.A. blues. Sure Jim Morrison gave us the poetry, but Manzarek set it to music."
Hootie & The Blowfish leader Darius Rucker, who is black, took a blatant musical turn to country in 2008 and has been mightily successful at it.
Last weekend, he performed at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry and dug out Bob Dylan's partial song, "Wagon Wheel," that was completed in 2003 by rootsy Americana string band Old Crow Medicine Show. The song got a positive reception from the fans in attendance.
However, he got a tweet from one "pqkullman" reading, "Leave country to the white people." The 47-year-old Rucker's response, "Is this 2013 or 1913? I'll take my grand ole Opry membership and leave your racism. WOW."
The twitter account has since been deactivated.
Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson's autobiography will be published in late 2015, reports his publisher, Per Da Capo Press. The publishers state that "Wilson will describe, for the first time, the epic highs and lows of his life - from his tumultuous relationship with his father, the loss of his mother and brothers, his fears about live performance, and the struggles he faced to lead the Beach Boys away from surf music into experimental terrain, to his remarkable personal and professional comeback from drug addiction and mental illness with the support of his second wife, Melinda. He will share a new level of emotional honesty never before expressed in earlier books about him."
What' interesting is that Amazon describes Wilson's 1996 memoir, "Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story" this way: "This autobiography describes Wilson's 20-year nightmare of drug addiction, alcoholism, obesity and mental illness. He spent three years alone in his room. He lost his family, and he nearly lost his life. It is a frank discussion of what destroyed his life and of the controversial forces which helped to save it."
The week of July 20-27, Wilson and former bandmates Al Jardine and David Marks will tour together, since Mike Love, who owns the Beach Boys brand, i.e., name, hasn't invited them to continue in the band as he and Bruce Johnston tour the U.S. The trio will play six dates in the Great Lakes region, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The three will also headline an evening at L.A.'s Greek Theatre on Oct. 20.
I caught The Rolling Stones' "50 and Counting Tour" at Anaheim's Honda Center. The band emerged from underneath the giant mouth logo stage, jumping right into their 1965 classic, "Get Off of My Cloud" and two songs later delivering another 1954 biggie, "Paint It Black," with its pounding bolero crescendo driven by 71-year-old drummer Charlie Watts.
Sounding in mid-season form, the band showcased 22 songs, rocking the house for two-and-a-half-hours. The set was a fan pleaser, loaded with hits and devoid of any deep cuts. At select shows, including this one, they are performing "Emotional Rescue," the title song of the band's No. 1 LP from 1981. Mick Jagger's high falsetto in perfect shape; impressive for a man who will turn 70 in July.
This was unlike the Staples Center show a few nights later when it was Chestnut City. That night, they dug out "Sway" with Mick Taylor (the first time on this tour that the band gave him four songs onstage instead of one or two), the countrified "Far Away Eyes" from 1977's "Some Girls" and "Let It Bleed's" "You Got the Silver" from 1969 with Keith Richards on vocals.
Speaking of Jagger, the man is the Eighth Wonder of the World, dancing, prancing, skipping and gyrating around the stage and around the ramp that jets into the crowd like a man of 30, singing in great voice all the while.
Among the highlights were 1969's "You Can't Always Get What You Want" that began with its a capella choral intro courtesy of The USC Thornton School Choir; a percussive "Sympathy for the Devil" and an extended "Midnight Rambler" that was enhanced by the playing of former lead guitarist Taylor, who was in the band from 1969-1974 and is on this tour as a special guest. Along the way, the band is being joined by guests. The Honda Center show saw John Mayer encoring last December's performance with the band on Muddy Waters' "Champagne and Reefer," effortlessly outdueling guitarists Ron Wood and Keith Richards.
On the tour's opening night at the Staples Center in L.A., No Doubt's Gwen Stefani showed up to help out on "Wild Horses" and country star Keith Urban joined in on "Respectable." Tom Waits was in Oakland at the Oracle Arena, where he and Mick Jagger sang Willie Dixon's blues standard, "Little Red Rooster," a song The Stones recorded 49 years ago in 1964 at Chicago's iconic Chess Records recording studio, where Howlin' Wolf recorded it in 1961 with Dixon on bass.
Bonnie Raitt sang "Let It Bleed" and John Fogerty joined on the early Stones' hit, "It's All Over Now" in San Jose. In Las Vegas, at the MGM Grand Arena, pop superstar Katy Perry joined Mick Jagger singing "Beast of Burden" from the group's 6 x platinum 1977 No. 1 LP, "Some Girls." At the final Honda Center show on May 19, Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl rocked out on "Bitch," from 1971's "Sticky Fingers" album. There were no guests joining in at the May 20 Staples Center gig, a show that Jagger said was the group's last in Los Angeles, "for a while, anyway."
I caught a matinee performance of "The Palm Springs Follies" starring '60 s teen idol Lesley Gore. Gore achieved overnight stardom as a teenager when her debut 45, "It's My Party" went to No. 1 in April 1963. The 67-year-old Gore just celebrated the record's golden anniversary.
For the past 22 years, the Follies have been a desert institution. Its cast is all over 50 with the oldest a spry and youthful 83. The Follies are wonderfully fun; a good old-fashioned, good-time review with a cadre of fine performers, most well-seasoned veterans of countless productions on Broadway - and with an array of dazzling and colorful costumes.
Gore opened her set with her fifth big smash, "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," that was the first hit written by a young 21-year-old Marvin Hamlisch. The set also included her final Top 20 biggie, Brill Building hit-writer Ellie Greenwich's "California Nights," that reached No. 16 in 1967.
Her first four singles in 1963-1964 all went Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 pop chart, and she sang them all in her perfect Lesley Gore voice: the aforementioned "It's My Party," as well as "Judy's Turn to Cry," the classic girl group song "She's a Fool," and "You Don't Own Me," that ended her set. "You Don't Own Me" was one of the first major pop hits by a female vocalist with a blatantly feminist, Women's Lib message of independence and empowerment.
The Follies takes each summer off because it's three degrees hotter than hell in Palm Springs during those months. The 23 rd season begins Nov. 1. Among next season's headliners are singing and dancing actress Susan Anton and singer Maureen McGovern, whose version of "The Morning After," that was originally used in the 1972 disaster epic, "The Poseidon Adventure," hit No. 1 the following year.
A custom-made Vox semi-hollow body guitar played by both George Harrison and John Lennon at Beatles sessions in 1967, was auctioned for $408,000, reports Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills. The guitar had been expected to sell for $200,000-$300,000. Harrison used it to practice his part on "I Am The Walrus," while Lennon is seen using it at the "Hello Goodbye" video promo film shoot.
Among the recently released albums, digital reissues, MP3 downloads and deluxe box sets are a 41-song, 2-CD, "The Beach Boys Live - The 50 th Anniversary Tour" that includes the gems "Marcella," Bruce Johnston's "Disney Girls," their 1963 ode to "Hawaii," the instrumental "Pet Sounds," and Dennis Wilson's "Forever;" "Live in Texas - October 6, 1973" from the supergroup Captain Beyond that included members of Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly and Johnny Winter's And band that concludes with a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Stone Free;" and "True Believers," the fourth solo album since 2002 from pop-rocker-turned-country star Darius Rucker, leader of Hootie and The Blowfish, that includes a duet with Sheryl Crow on "Love Without You."
"Quartette Humane" is the first collaboration in a quarter-century from jazz masters keyboardist Bob James and sax player David Sanborn; "All This For a King" from Christian rockers The David Crowder Band; "Tap: John Zorn's Book of Angels, Vol. 20," from avant garde musician Zorn and 20-time Grammy-winning jazz guitarist Pat Metheny; 1974's "Sneaking Sally Through the Alley - CD Deluxe" reissue with four bonus cuts from English rock singer Robert Palmer who suffered a fatal heart attack a decade ago at age 54 while on vacation in Paris with former Cream bassist Jack Bruce; and a 2-CD, "Remember the Future - 40 th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" from English-German prog rockers Nektar.
A 2-CD, "Time Out - Mono-Stereo Edition" from The Dave Brubeck Quartet; "A Little More Action Please: The Anthology 1970-1985" from country singer Mac Davis, includes "Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me," the No. 1 pop and easy listening smash he wrote, produced and sang in 1972; "Tarkus: Deluxe Edition (2-CD Set)" from Emerson, Lake and Palmer; former Genesis lead guitarist Steve Hackett's import, "Genesis Revisited 2."
A new budget-priced CD series, "Playlist: The Very Best Of-" includes albums from Diana Ross, English R&B singer Billy Ocean, folk rocker Jeff Buckley, country music's Restless Heart, Springsteen's New Jersey pal Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, country songstress Patty Loveless, hard rocking '80 s hair band Warrant, Donna Summer, tragic country singer Mindy MacCready, Iggy Pop, The Alan Parsons Project, country guitar legend Chet Atkins, Latin jazz and salsa percussionist Tito Puente and his orchestra, and the recently departed country great George Jones.
Another new budget "best of" series includes Pat Benatar, reggae's Jimmy Cliff, hard rockers Queensryche, Heart, Merle Haggard, Grand Funk Railroad, Culture Club, Canadian songbird Anne Murray, '80 s English pop-rockers Simple Minds, rocking singer-guitarist Billy Squire, rootsy rockers George Thorogood & The Destroyers, quirky L.A. band The Red Hot Chili Peppers, country singer Chris LeDoux, Go-Go's singer Belinda Carlisle, Glen Campbell, The Captain & Tennille, The Beach Boys, Portland alt-rockers Everclear, glam rockers Poison, country-pop and Christian singer Amy Grant, punkers Blink-182, Donna Summer, Deep Purple, The Gin Blossoms and The Mamas & The Papas.
