Parallax Gap, transforms the Renwick Gallery's Bettie Rubenstein Grand Salon into a visual puzzle. This immersive, site-specific installation explores examples of interplay between craft and architecture through a ceiling-suspended structure running the length of the Renwick's iconic gallery. The installation embraces both Eastern and Western concepts of perspective through trompe l'oeil effects and multiple vanishing points to create a sense of soaring architectural volume.
Voulkos: The Breakthrough Years, is the first exhibition to focus on the early career of Peter Voulkos, from 1953–1968. While trained as a traditional potter, Voulkos' radical methods and ideas during this period opened up the possibilities for ceramics in ways that are still being felt today.
Pioneering artist June Schwarcz (1918-2015) redefined the art of enameling, experimenting with materials, defying tradition, and quietly breaking all the rules. Her technical innovations combined with her inventive and unorthodox designs set new standards for her field, establishing her as a leading voice in American art who influenced a new generation of artists. June Schwarcz: Invention and Variation presents artworks spanning the entirety of the artist's career.
A new installation of artworks from the Renwick's permanent collection opens seven months after the building reopens, on July 1, 2016. Curated by by Nora Atkinson, the Lloyd Herman Curator of Craft, it highlights new acquisitions, updating the presentation of crafts and decorative arts for the 21st century.
Murder Is Her Hobby: Frances Glessner Lee and The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death explores the unexpected intersection between craft and forensic science. Frances Glessner Lee (1878-1962) crafted her extraordinary "Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death" – exquisitely detailed miniature crime scenes – to train homicide investigators to "convict the guilty, clear the innocent, and find the truth in a nutshell." These dollhouse-sized diorama composites of true crime scenes, still used in forensic training today, helped to revolutionize the emerging field of forensic science. At the same time, they subverted traditional uses for gendered and domestic crafts such as miniature-making and needlework, offering Glessner Lee a rare and honored position in the male-dominated world of police investigation.
Rick Araluce: The Final Stop transforms a gallery into an abandoned underground subway platform in the artist's first large-scale installation on the East Coast. Stepping on to the platform, visitors are enveloped in the illusion of an eerie subterranean world where flickering lights and distant rumblings suggest the comings and goings of trains that never arrive.
No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man, is the first major national exhibition to focus on the large-scale, participatory work from this annual event. The exhibition will take over the entire Renwick Gallery building, bringing alive the maker culture of Burning Man through artworks, immersive room-sized installations, jewelry, costumes and ephemera that will transport visitors to the gathering's famed desert city and highlight the ingenuity and creative spirit of this cultural movement.

Well said, Wiggley. Once again, let's blame the weapons instead of the systems that were in place that failed. Sheesh!The issue of a gun or guns in this case falls back on Security and background checks before giving someone the security clearance to even enter that facility.
He worked for a contractor. That contractor got his Security clearance from...you guessed it, another contractor. Our government has, over time, decided it's cheaper to contract out jobs like that in order to save money and benifits paid to a government employee. That's a problem our Congress has failed to deal with, not guns.
Then there's he lack of information because even though he had been arrested twice for gun related incidents, he was never prosecuted. That's a problem with the legal system, not guns.
He also had mental issues, some that developed after he received his security clearance. The fact that there is not a continuing, updated background monitoring check is a problem with the system, not guns.

I'm a gun owner but consider if unfair of you to place myself and others into a charactorization of being knuckle dragging, NRA loving, pin headed T-baggers.
The fact that "this guy" purchased a shotgun less than a week ago only 10 miles South of where I live has everything to do with the loopholes in the legal system which are not associated with the NRA.
He was not officially receiving any help from any mental institution. He had applied for help but had not received any.
That is a failure of the mental health system...not the NRA.
I'm not a member of the NRA and don't necessarily support them but the rights of law abiding Americans to own firearms is a Constitutional right that should be preserved.
#23 Sep 17, 2013
Much to your disbelief, the Navy Yard most likely was not heavily armed. Most military personnel are forbidden to carry firearms on a military base. According to the policy of the Department of Defense; The authorization to carry firearms shall be issued only to qualified personnel when there is a reasonable expectation that life or DoD assets will be jeopardized if firearms are not carried. So basically only MP's are allowed to carry. Most likely there were only a couple of dozen weapons on hand during this incident.
Check it out yourself. Search DoD 5210.56. Also what is interesting is who authorized this policy.

Bull $hit. This incident has EVERYTHING to do with the NRA and the crazy gun toting, knuckle dragging, NRA loving, pin-headed t-baggers and other fruitcakes who think it is their constitutional right to own or possess any fricking firearm they want to.

How did the cops stop him? What did they use to stop him? You were wrong about Syria and your wrong again fruitcake. I wonder how many gun toting cops are proud NRA members.

If it were up to progressive sissies like pipedream the only people allowed to have guns would be the criminals. Here's yet another example of the idiotic progressive Utopian "pipedream" these submissive government apron string-clingers create.
The truth of the matter is, and what progressives can't bring themselves to admit, if the highly trained military personnel on this base, as well as those at Fort Hood, we're allowed to carry firearms this nutball would not have been allowed to fire at unarmed victims for 7 full minutes before armed help arrived. He'd have been turned into Swiss cheese, possibly by the very people who are now lying in the morgue.

Sadly, those quotes had very little to do with protecting anybody from your so-called coward. The history of colonial America prior to the revolution shows that many of the future states required adult male citizens to own a gun for protection against attacks from the Native Americans. After the revolution, the founding fathers knew that an armed citizenry would help protect against a strong central government turning into the kind of dictatorship that they had suffered through with England's King George.
All of these things were and are a good thing, and as I have stated over and over again, I see nothing wrong with you, or anyone else owning how many ever guns you feel you need to be happy and safe.
The point that so many refuse to be able to face is that there is a certain segment of society that should not own any weapon. Aaron Alexis is one of those people. All the way back to 2004, he showed time and again that he had some very serious problems with reality. So I will ask these questions again.......
Should a person who suffers rage so bad that he blacks out and can't even remember shooting numerous shots at somebodies vehicle the kind of person who should own a gun?
#36 Sep 18, 2013
I you sure he planned this out, or did the self admitted voices in his head give him the plan?
In the last five years, we have seen 21 mass shootings in this country, and over half of those were committed by someone who had mental issues.
Isn't it about time that you faced the fact that some people don't deserve the right to bear arms?
#37 Sep 18, 2013
A complete and utter failure of the current system of gun control laws is obvious here.
Proof reported today in the linked story showing that authorities knew this guy was having serious mental issues weeks before he walked in to buy the shotgun he used in this crime.
"A Newport, Rhode Island police sergeant reported Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis to naval station police last month after the suspect told cops he was hearing voices through his hotel room wall and that three people were following him and sending vibrations into his body, according to a police report obtained by FoxNews.com ."
Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/09/18/navy-yar...
Why is it so hard for so called patriots to understand that the founding fathers did not intend for the mentally ill to posses firearms?
Isn't it time to scrap all of these worthless gun laws we have now in favor of a comprehensive law that may have stopped this guy from walking out the door with the gun he used to commit that crime?
Are that many of you afraid that you just might be hearing the same voices this guy was?

Sound's like he planned this, as they reported this morning on CBS that he purchased the shotgun at a gun dealer, last Saturday...two days before....they said he fired an assault rifle, but they would'nt sell it to him....

Yep I am sure he planned it, and I agree 100% percent with your last sentence, yes there are some people who should not be allowed to own guns. To be clear I believe in background checks, and yes I have had mine checked more than once it is law here in Michigan even at gun shows no matter what kind of gun you buy..
#40 Sep 18, 2013
It should be easy to agree that any plan was most likely hatched by the shooter AND the voices he was hearing.....
And while I haven't seen that part of the story, why would any respectable gun dealer refuse to sell somebody an assault rifle, but gladly accept cash for a shotgun?

From Ingredientia
Edam is a Dutch cheese. Edam is a bland, mild, buttery cheese, with a natural rind and a red wax coating, usually matured for 3-4 months. Edam is slightly harder than Gouda, because it has a lower fat content. Edam is sometimes spice with cumin seeds and more mature "old" versions are available.

Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families
A national effort to protect families from toxic chemicals.
Join the Movement
Thousands of people are pushing Congress and retailers for strong action on toxic chemicals.
Posts by Liz Hitchcock
EPA: Don't let industry write the rules on toxic chemicals
Today we were joined by two dozen of our coalition partners in sending a letter to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt about one of his new hires—a chemical industry advocate who got one of the top spots in the EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention.
Chemical romance: EPA Valentine's Day meeting
This year, a great group of public health advocates and chemical industry lobbyists were thanked for spending our Valentine's Day talking about chemicals with the EPA staff.
Let's get dangerous paint stripper chemicals off store shelves
Under the newly reformed Toxics Substance Control Act (TSCA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently proposed limits on the use of two common chemicals in paint strippers. Your voice can help make sure the final regulations are strong.
EPA proposes banning additional uses of TCE
Today, under the newly reformed Toxics Substance Control Act (TSCA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed banning certain uses of the toxic chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) due to health risks when used as a vapor degreaser.
Your calls worked! Congress passes vital bill on lead
Congress voted to pass a package of legislation that authorizes $170 million to respond to the Flint water crisis, with additional resources to address the national problem of lead exposure.
N-Methylpyrrolidone (a.k.a. 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or NMP) is a solvent used in a variety of industries and applications, such as paint and coating removal, petrochemical processing, engineering plastics coatings, agricultural chemicals, electronic cleaning and industrial/domestic cleaning.
Methylene chloride
Easily inhaled, methylene chloride converts to carbon monoxide once inside the body—making it especially dangerous for people with heart or lung disease, and pregnant women.
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Tricholoroethylene (TCE) is used as a solvent for metals degreasing, as a spot cleaner in dry cleaning, and in other consumer products. EPA classifies TCE as carcinogenic to humans by all routes of exposure.
House approves Flint aid; More action on lead needed
Wednesday night, the House of Representatives passed its version of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) by a wide margin.
Don't let Congress abandon Flint
Quite frankly, the stories from Flint are hard to hear. It's outrageous that families in Flint are charged some of the highest water bills in the nation for water that they can't use. It's unthinkable to most that the lead contamination crisis that began in Flint more than two years ago has not been "solved" by now. It's unconscionable that Flint families are in the third year of being unable to turn on the faucet and get a drink of water.

We visit Seattle, Toronto and Chicago this July, taking on MLS teams Seattle Sounders, Toronto FC and Chicago Fire in pre-season friendlies as we prepare for the big kick-off in August.
Long serving defender Michael - at the club since 2005 - has experienced one tour of North America with the club in 2012 (he missed out in 2010 as he was with England at the World Cup) and knows it's the ideal place for pre-season graft.
"We were there in 2010 and a couple of years ago when we played LA, obviously against Robbie Keane, Liverpool in Baltimore and New York Red Bulls and now we visit three different cities," said Michael.
"We know Clint Dempsey is in Seattle, Jermain Defoe in Toronto and then we go to Chicago. We'll go there and prepare, that's what it's all about, trying to get to a peak for the start of the season. Fitness is most important.
"America is an amazing country and amazing place and I've heard great things about Toronto but pre-season is pre-season and we'll be doing two or three sessions a day and working hard.
"The most we'll see is the hotel and the bedrooms, because we'll be recovering from hard sessions.
"We need to ge the work in, get fit and have a good pre-season to be ready for the first game in the Premier League.
"The MLS teams will be ahead of us in terms of fitness and that's something we have to deal with as well.
"I'm sure it will be a great tour."

Drilling the Wishing Well
This month our country of focus is Niger, where World Vision's Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Program is working to improve the health and well-being of 350,000 rural community members by 2016. The following story was contributed by Dana Palade, World Vision.
As you approach the village of Mekaka, the first thing you notice is the chatter of women's voices. Women and girls are gathered around the village well, and their lively conversations match the fast pace of arms pulling up heavy water containers from a 40-meter deep well. The sighs of women's strenuous effort are mixed with the crying of the young babies carried in fabric pouches hanging by their mothers' backs.
"I started to draw water from the village well when I was eight years old," remembers Hadiza Moussa, now 50. "When a girl is strong enough to help her mother fetch water, they come together at the well and work side by side."
In average, a woman from the village of Mekaka spends four hours a day drawing water from the well. She comes accompanied by children, so they can bring home more containers full of the precious liquid.
"It is important to be fast in drawing water," explains Hadiza, explaining that this vital quality a man is looking for when prospecting for a wife. "This is how men recognize a hardworking woman, one who can be trusted with all the house chores."
Again and again they pull up the rough plaited rope that measures 40, sometimes even 60 meters, at the end of which balances a makeshift bucket full of water. Each time the rope cuts down into their hands leaving marks.
But for Hadiza and the other women in Mekaka, there's immediate relief to their struggle to get water. The village is part of World Vision's Kornaka West ADP, and two water pumps will be soon drilled here.
"We've seen the change in people's lives, in other villages where there is already a water pump," explains Hadiza with a spark in her eyes. "Women spend less time fetching water, and it is less tiring, so they have more time and energy for their families."
Hadiza says that, once the water pumps are built in Mekaka, they can dream about more improvements.
"We can hope that one day we'll even have running water in our own homes – why not?" she adds and all women gathered around her laugh. "We can do other activities like producing vegetables or selling food items, and have an income for us and the children."
The wishful thinking of Mekaka's women is already a happy reality for the 500 villagers of Zakara Hannou, located in the same ADP.
"If you could see this village as it was five years ago, you'd realize how much our community has changed," recounts village chief Saidou Abdou. "We received help in the way we practice agriculture and manage our harvests, and the three boreholes in the village now that made our life so much easier!"
Chief Abdou appreciates that peace is returned to the village since the construction of the water pump.
"Before you could hear women's voices, raised loudly when they disputed over their place in the waiting line at the well. Many problems between neighbors started from there," remembers Saidou Abdou. "Now it's peaceful – no more quarrels at the well, and women are getting along again as they don't have to argue over water anymore."
Before the construction of the boreholes, women in Zakara Hannou had to draw water from traditional wells. It took them more about three hours of intense labor. Now the same task can be accomplished in only 30 minutes and it is much easier.
"Their hands were rough as tree bark, because the cords hanging over the well edge with heavy water loads cut their skin deeply," recounts the chief. "But you have to see our wives' nice, smooth hands now!" adds the chief with a smile.
The health and well-being of the villagers of Zakara Hannou improved significantly since they got access to clean, safe water. "The well water was smelly and unclear," says chief Saidou Abdou. "When we used to drink it we were always sick, and our children had stomach problems."
"The water that we pump out today is crystal clear, it tastes good, and you don't even have to put it through a sieve to take out insects and dirt. Now we can drink to quench our thirst," says Abdou.
Chief Abdou's wife, Ai Harouna, is holding their six-year old daughter Mariama in her arms. With a soft voice, the mother encourages the girl to talk but Mariama shies away. Seeing the girl's big brown eyes, it is hard to imagine that before the pump was built in the village she was suffering from trachoma.
"It was because of the dirty water," explains mother Harouna. "She got a painful infection in her eyes, and she was crying and hurting all the time."
Trachoma is the world's leading cause of preventable blindness. Globally, about 41 million people in developing countries suffer from trachoma, and 8 million became visually impaired. Two thirds of those affected are girls or women.
Mariama, who became a World Vision sponsored child four years ago, received the right medical treatment that saved her eyesight, but it took a whole year to completely heal.
"Many children in our village were sick with the same eye disease, but now that water is clean we don't have problems anymore," says mother Harouna.

text: Rights of an Injured Worker Call Our OC Workers' Comp Attorney When it comes to injured workers, California laws provide certain rights and benefits to individuals who suffer a specific injury or cumulative injury on the job. At Thomas F. Martin, PLC, our Orange County workers' compensation attorney works to help you utilize your rights to compensation. You have the right to receive various benefits, and we will work tenaciously to help you achieve this goal. There are three major considerations when a work injury occurs: Immediate medical care Temporary monetary benefits Full assessment to determine permanent benefits Insurance companies may deny treatment requests made by their own network physicians. Even when a physician prescribes treatment, insurance companies often avoid the responsibility to authorize the treatment by delaying, modifying, or even denying the request by using the complex, time-limited maze called "utilization review" process. Whether the utilization review was legally valid, and whether "independent medical review" is available, often requires complex legal analysis. A Medical Provider Network (MPN) is a group of physicians hand-picked by an insurance company to provide medical treatment. However, whether an MPN can legally require an injured worker to only use MPN physicians, or may select his or her own physician, may require legal analysis. Request your complimentary review by calling (714) 594-5389. Three Factors After a Workplace Injury First, an injured worker's rights include immediate care by a qualified physician (or team of physicians) who will evaluate and treat all consequences of an injury – not just the injuries an employer or insurance company are willing to recognize. Often, medical treatment is withheld by the insurance carrier while the claim is being investigated, even though the law requires payment of medical treatment up to $10,000 during the investigation. More often, insurance companies and their network physicians will only treat part of the injuries and ignore the rest. However, the law requires that all work related injuries and conditions be treated by the employer and its insurance company. Second, your rights as an injured worker mandate that certain temporary wage replacement benefits (Total Temporary or Partial Temporary Disability benefits) be promptly paid by the employer's insurance company to you when a work-related injury or condition forces you to miss time from work. Often, insurance companies utilize physicians that return injured workers to work before they are able to, or to the same duties that may have caused injury in the first place. Also, TTD / TPD is paid at the wrong – usually lower – rate than what is legally owed. Third, at the conclusion at the active treatment process, an injured worker's rights include an assessment of all activities that have been permanently limited as a consequence of the injury or condition, and an award of permanent disability benefits based on the extent of those limitations. Sometimes, a vocation expert is necessary to assist in the assessment, particularly in career ending injuries. While there are other rights and benefits the law provides to injured workers such as nursing care, medical mileage reimbursement, etc. Call Thomas F. Martin, PLC today at (714) 594-5389 to begin your case.

Janie Franz Talks About Music and Writing
9 comments:
Fascinating subject matter. I would have given my eye-teeth to follow along. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Joylene, you and me both. It sounds fascinating.ReplyDelete
Joylene and Penny, The journey is still going on. Now that I'm settling into New Mexico, I'll be reviving that music journalism career for my column and my own publication....But remember, musicians, like well-known authors, are just people--they have to brush their teeth like the rest of us.ReplyDelete
Janie, good to hear. The reminder is a good one. I actually hung out with a lot of musicians in the 70s, but no one who made it to the "big time."ReplyDelete
I can't wait to read the book, because I have seen Dr. John in person and he is incredibly awesome as a performer and musician. Also he was on Treme a TV show about New Orleans after Katrina and to think he has said he will let you use his interview shows me this book is totally authentic. It's wonderful that someone has written a real account of the life of a musician on the road. So cool!!!!ReplyDelete
Wonderful post. enjoyed the insight. I agree, some of the best interviews are the ones where you just feel like you're visiting. The best stories come from those. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

Congrats on the release of Sugar Magnolia, Janie. It sounds like after so many years, your story finally decided you had what it needed and let you finish it! I hope you enjoy New Mexico as much as my daughter and son-in-law, who live in Taos, a lovely part of the world. All the best with your various gigs!ReplyDelete
Barbara, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Janie wrote a story which rings true to life. I hope you do get a chance to read it.ReplyDelete
Charlie and Pat, nice to have you stop by and I'm glad you enjoyed the interview. Hope you get an opportunity to read Janie's books.ReplyDelete

Extra midwives have been drafted in from almost 30 miles away to the Conquest Hospital's maternity unit to tackle staff shortages.
Crowborough Birthing Centre has been temporarily shut for four days so staff can work at the hospital on The Ridge.
East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the Conquest, Eastbourne's DGH and the birthing centre, blamed the situation on sickness and a shortage of agency staff.
A spokeswoman said: "Due to current staff shortages on the maternity unit at Conquest Hospital, the trust has temporarily closed Crowborough Birthing Centre to enable staff from Crowborough to work at the Conquest.
"The staff shortages are a result of sickness, unavailability of bank staff due to school holidays and annual leave. We have recently recruited six newly qualified midwives who are waiting for their registrations to come through before starting work, and we are currently out to advert to recruit a further four midwives.
"On average, four women a week give birth at Crowborough, and any woman due to give birth at Crowborough over the weekend should contact their midwife if they have any concerns. Crowborough Birthing Centre will re-open at 8am on Monday (November 4)."

A fun conversation topic at a party is fabric. Other fun ones include sewage systems, investment banking in South America, and the merits of probiotics.
Okay, nobody cares about fabric, unless of course it's meaningful to your promotional advertising, and then you're all ears. Or at least half ears during work hours when it may help to know what you're buying.
Take for example, Balloon Boys custom pop-up tents. We note on the website that they are made with 600 denier PVC backed polyester oxford fabric that is UV and mildew resistant.
Speak English please, sir.
Denier is a unit of measurement for fiber thickness
Okay. In simple terms, denier is a unit of measurement for fiber thickness. A single strand of silk is approximately one denier, so it stands to reason that the higher the denier, the stronger it is. So, 600 denier fabric is better than 500 or 400.
We'll stop there with the denier to keep you from getting over-excited, but the key thing to remember is that 600 is as high as it gets for custom printed canopy tents. That's why we note it on the product description here - Custom Printed Tent Page
As for the rest of the description, PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, which for our purposes is a vinyl coating that serves as a waterproofing agent. The special coating also makes our fabric resistant to dirt, mildew, oil, salt, chemicals and UV rays.
Resistance to abrasion and chemical agents
Oxford fabric is one of four modern fabrics named after universities: Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and Harvard. Already too much information, so let's get to the point. Oxford fabric characteristics include good resistance to abrasion and chemical agents, and durability. During the manufacturing process the fibres of our Oxford fabric are coated with a special fire resistant coating. This allows the canopy to pass a special fire rating test called NFPA701. This will keep your local fire marshal happy. Fine, exactly what we want.
It won't make you a hit at the next party you attend, but hopefully we've made fabric language a little easier to understand. At least a little closer to English than Greek.
See what you're missing. Order your next tent from Balloon Boys Promotions today! Check them out here - https://www.balloonboys.com/printed-pop-up-canopy-tents/

|Characters Shipped
Friends, Partners in crime
|Portrayed by
Diego and Ludmila have been friends for a very long time, and they know each other better than anyone. For example, Diego was one of the first ones to notice Ludmila's crush on Federico, because when he saw her smiling and gazing at him he knew immediately that she was in love.
They grew up together and they have been best friends for a long time. They used to play pranks on other people and were very mean and nasty to them. When Diego first arrives in Buenos Aires, his friendship with Ludmila isn't mentioned until several episodes later, when they are shown talking about their plan to destroy Violetta. Originally, they decided that Ludmila would become friends with Violetta, and Diego would make Violetta fall in love with him, and then he would break her heart and find a way to make her leave the Studio. They weren't going to tell anyone, but Naty finds out anyway and threatens to tell Violetta everything unless Ludmila includes her in the plan. Ludmila thinks that she has finally destroyed Violetta when she humiliates her by revealing that she was lip-syncing her performances, but to her surprise and anger everyone still stands by Violetta. She then tells Diego to find another way to get rid of Violetta, but this makes them start arguing, because Diego has started to develop feelings for Violetta. It's unclear which matters more to Diego; his friendship with Ludmila, or his relationship with Violetta?
- They both attend On Beat Studio.
- They can both be very mean sometimes.
- Both are good dancers and singers.
- Both can play the guitar.
- They both had a secret that they couldn't tell anyone, especially Violetta.
- Both live with their mothers.
- Both dislike Leon.
- Diego likes Violetta, but Ludmila hates her.
- Diego has brown hair, and Ludmila has blonde hair.
- Diego is Spanish, and Ludmila is Argentinean.
- Diego has green eyes but Ludmila has brown eyes.
- They have been best friends since they were very little, and they always used to play pranks on other people and they were very nasty to people.
- Diego gets annoyed with Ludmila a lot, because she sometimes gets too big-headed and forgets about the plan. For example, when Ludmila was angry about DJ's video, she forgot that she was supposed to be Violetta's friend, and she lashed out at her.
- They seem to have a love/hate relationship.
- They threaten each other a lot.
Song - The Diemila song could be "Destined to Shine", because Ludmila wrote and sang that song, and it represents how Diego and Ludmila are determined to succeed, no matter what.
Episode - The Diemila episode could be episode 28 in the second season, because that was one of the first times that they were seen discussing their plan together.
Color - The Diemila color could be black because they both usually wear it.
Place - The Diemila place could be the Studio, because they both spend a lot of time there and both of them are students there. The Diemila place could also be the park because they talk about their plan there.

These days, when you're yearning to find out bits and pieces of information about anything in particular, you don't need to look much further than the "Facebook Group". Now, on the matter of drones, there are dozens upon dozens of groups – I won't go into the pros and cons of being a member of any of these groups as there are plenty of both.
I was lucky enough to stumble across one called "Three Counties Drone Flyers – Bucks, Northants, Oxon". Despite the fact that I don't live in any of those counties (I have family who do… loose connection!) I was still welcomed into the fold, and it's been great fun ever since.
Not long after joining this group, having spent some time getting to know the fellow members, a 'meeting' was proposed and organised by the group's creators, Will Beasley and Jeremy Costello (also a Fly Icarus ambassador). On a beautiful summer's day, on a farm just outside of Brill, Buckinghamshire, a small group of us came together to do what we do best – fly our drones! Some people had met before at earlier gatherings, while others (like me) were brand new and introduced to everyone. The rules are simple – stick to the CAA regulations and be sensible. The great thing about a meeting like this is that it has no defined purpose or objective, i.e. we're not there to network, we're not there to try and sell something, no one (the farmer or the organisers) is reaping any sort of monetary reward. Instead, we go purely to enjoy our hobby with like-minded people. We talk about where we come from, what we do, what gear we're all using, and allow each-other to try out different aircraft and share knowledge. When it all comes down to it, we're all just there to have some fun, all facilitated by the wonder of social media!
There has been a good few more meetings since that first one in Brill, but I haven't been able to attend all of them. Some have been glorious, clear days, some have been miserable – the perils of having to rely on weather to enjoy your hobby!
We now also have joint meetings with the local FPV racing group, bringing together even more knowledge. Some of those who attend are pure hobbyists, looking to get nothing more than the enjoyment of taking some decent aerial footage, some are a bit technically-minded who also like the engineering side to it all, creating their own contraptions, and there's a few like myself who have decided to go down the commercial road hoping to make some form of living from this ever-growing industry. In fact, it was quite useful for me to attend meetings prior to taking my OE, as it allowed me to converse with two fellow Fly Icarus students, helping and supporting each other to get through and obtain our PfCO's. It's a great community!
In essence, what I want to convey here are the benefits of finding people in your area, if you can, or try to find a land owner who would be willing to let you meet up on their land and go and have some fun. Learn from each other, as well, and enjoy every flight.
I hope you'll enjoy having a look at a few photos that I have taken at various meets.

New Delhi, (UNI): Premiere of latest films on the internet, simultaneously with their release in cinema halls, seems to be fast becoming a vogue in Bollywood!

''We are delighted to announce the online premiere of UTV's eagerly anticipated film, Life In A...Metro on May 11 alongside its worldwide theatrical release,'' says Rajshri Media managing director Rajat Barjatya.
The online release of Basu's Life In a Metro, that deals with ''the thrills and shrills'' of being a metro citizen, is seen as a move on part of the UTV to tap the International audience, including South Asians settled in various parts of the globe, in keeping with the film's universal theme that cuts across international barriers.

2012 Audi Q7 Test Drive & Luxury SUV Review
http://www.autobytel.com/audi/q7/2012/?id=32972 Audi has done a great job of taking the wonderful driving experience from their line of luxury cars and transferring that into the 2012 Audi Q7 Luxury SUV. This is a heavy vehicle at over 5000 lbs. but it definitely does not feel that way. The Q7 delivers a nice tight driving experience with plenty of power. The base price for the 2012 Audi Q7 is $46,250 with the top of the line S-Line Prestige costing almost $60,000. According to automotive analysts; the luxury SUV segment is dying. But it is nice to see that Audi has stayed true to its brand and still offers a 7-passenger luxury SUV. A luxury SUV should look as elegant and as sophisticated as possible. And the Q7 is one great looking machine. From the front you will notice Audi's beautiful and massive front grill. Also the LED headlights and running lights make quite a visual statement. There are 2 different engines offered on the 2012 Audi Q7. The first is a turbocharged direct injected (TDI) 3.0 liter V-6 engine that makes 225 horsepower and 406 lb-ft. of torque. This engine also nets 17 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway which is at the top of the fuel economy scale for luxury SUVs. The other engine choice is a supercharged 3.0 liter V-6 engine making 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft. of torque on the S-Line model. Power is transferred through an 8-speed automatic transmission which helps with fuel economy. This engine with more HP gets 16 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway. The Q7 is also a capable vehicle off road or in tough weather conditions. The Quattro all-wheel drive system paired with many sophisticated technological advancements give the Q7 a real leg up on the competition. On the inside the Audi Q7 can seat up to 7 passengers. The Q7 is loaded with everything you would expect in a high end luxury SUV from Audi. If you are an automobile enthusiast and you want more than just a truck for your SUV like the Escalade, then you should get behind the wheel of a 2012 Audi Q7. This is a tremendous German Sport Utility Vehicle. See More Car Videos http://www.autobytel.com/car-videos/?id=32972 Join Our Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/autobytel

We are still needing a volunteer to be 'The Water Schedule Coordinator.
This is a perfect way to help our ministry from the comfort of your own home! The Water Schedule Coordinator is in charge of calling and scheduling people for a week of watering and then calling to remind them. We also have a place on the Kiosk to post the water schedule as another reminder and a place for people to sign up. Keeping this organized and up to date is important, we want our flower gardens and pot to stay beautiful!
