It's funny…I remember seeing Chris on the "Gutter Ballet" tour and he just kind of hung back a little and let Criss do his thing. From that point on, though, I've watched him grow as a guitarist, musician and producer. His most recent work is something that we saw come to life through myriad postings on Facebook and it was an amazing process to watch unfold. That's kind of why I have resisted writing a review, to this point. I had just finished producing an album, myself, so watching the process here, knowing what goes into it from a recording, producing, mixing and mastering stand-point, I have a different approach than I used to. It kind of becomes a little club (you, the artist and thousands of his closest friends ) watching a project grow and come closer and closer to fruition and wanting so badly for everything to pan out perfectly and become a sort of cheerleader.
That's why *I* felt a little too close to it, even though I, really, had nothing to do with other than a few posts of encouragement along the way. Then something changed. I read a review. Now, it wasn't a horrible review, mostly. It's one of those that looks like it comes from a place of expectation that may or may not have been in line with what the point or purpose of the album actually was. I feel a little sorry for the reviewer inasmuch as the full fury of Chris' fans have been unleashed upon him. For the most part, this is because the reviewer barely reviewed the music and, instead, chose to review Chris, himself. That's not how reviews work, really. That said, as reviewers usually do, he brought it upon himself. This is because no matter what your opinion is, someone will disagree. Additionally, when you go after a person a lot of people care about, they're going to push back, hard. With that in mind – I'm going to talk about what I know with Chris, my perspective on the album and, towards the end, the music.
I'm not going to address much more of the other review, really, save for a couple points.
So, first and foremost, this is an 80s metal album. Sure, there are some modern aspects to it, stylistically, but it conjures up — without sounding overly like — Savatage and Dr. Butcher with ease, and shows a lot of influence from those bands and from the songwriting he was exposed to, contributed to and learned from. So, here's where the divide, I believe, comes in. I *love* hearing 80s metal musicians producing 80s metal. I just do. I loved a band from Richmond called Claude Zircle for exactly that reason — there were no pretentions. They played their 80s metal hearts out, and that's exactly what "Your Heaven Is Real" does. Chris isn't trying to win the nu-metal crowd. He's not looking for the prog-metal crowd. He's looking for people who enjoy honest, solid, metal. In this, he delivered, in spades. There's something for every metalhead, here — there's so much groove on this disc, it's quite tasty. If you don't feel the 80s screaming through in "Just Fine," I don't know what to tell you. The album, itself, also has a consistency across it — the tone, the energy, the love, the effort.
It's funny, though, because it's at this point in a lot of reviews where the comments start veering into "you're a fanboy" or equally derisive terms that basically are implying that because you honestly like something and have good things to say about it, you're a kiss-ass. That always baffles me. Me? You get what you get. If I like it, I say so, if I don't, I say so.
Another aspect in which I felt a little too close to really review the album, objectively, was knowing the stories behind a lot of the songs, as revealed by Chris over the creation of the album via Facebook. Once I know what something's about, and how deeply personal these things are, and how much of an artist gets exposed by "putting himself out there" in a way that few people ever know — how the hell do you criticize that? Even on the album I was just working on, it was much easier to be critical, as a producer, about musical and production choices, when I didn't know that it was a song, for example, about the brutal hole left in the artist's heart after the untimely death of his brother. It's at that point that it becomes the artist's complete game – even as producer and mixer, there are things about which you just accept you have no say. The same falls, for me, into that realm, here. "Your Heaven Is Real" isn't some attempt at a catchy chorus (have I mentioned that the song *crushes* and the chorus will get stuck in your head for a while?) without substance, but a very personal revelation about a pretty damned scary situation and brings, to me, two interpretations of the song that aren't disparate — as a result of the experience, there's a new appreciation of what is an isn't real to Chris when it comes to the afterlife, and, really, it's more of an affirmation and uplifting message than we've gotten from Chris, previously. To me, that's awesome — he's in a happier place, which is exceedingly obvious if you follow him on Facebook. Chris has always worn his emotions on his sleeve and produced music from the heart, and this is no different — something for which *I'm* grateful, though, I do understand how some folks aren't always comfortable listening to songs that aren't just about political rants, sex drugs and rock'n'roll, or any of the impersonal, banal topics we've come to expect in recent years. That said, I'm in no position to criticize personal experience and expression for reasons I've mentioned before.
Oh, but make no mistake — Chris has socio-political rants, too, but there are more songs, here, about new and more personal topics, and are addressed with the same lack of compromise as "Pissed Off" though handled with more experience, wisdom and maturity. What? We all mature as we get older and, in this case, it just means the music is growing, proportionately, with Chris. That's not a bad thing.
I will address a comment from the review within one of the points from the review I wish to focus on, just because it's something I didn't have an appreciation for prior to last winter, when I was in a similar situation. So, here's the thing the review stated, "While the mix is clear, the overall sound is muddy and not sharp enough…" We'll pair that with one of the comments on the review that stated, "…sounds like it was recorded on a PC." Here's the thing — in several ways it probably was – so what? There's a lot of the home studio that is now piped through the PC to record and from what I've seen of Chris' studio, I have no reason to believe any different. Even in a larger studio, again, the trend is to pipe everything through a PC. That said, having just produced an album that was recorded in its entirety on a Mac (so, kind of PC…) and mixed/mastered on my studio system, I have a new appreciation for what went into this album. I know how bloody hard it is to get a good, consistent sound that sounds good on your monitors, in your car, on your phone, and so on, and I also know what happens when you either don't have the right monitors, the right angle on the monitors and the right distance from the monitors, ignoring the fact, for the moment, as to whether the room is treated, or not.
So, with that in mind, there are parts that I, as someone who has just spent time mixing songs until my eyes glazed over and my ears were so fatigued, and I dreamt of the songs for weeks, recognized right off the hop while listening to the album. I believe it was on "Why" that I thought, "Ah, the monitors were <so>" when mixing the acoustics, as there were a couple of spots where they came hard through the back-side of the mix, on the sides a bit louder than probably intended, but was probably the result of a lot of late night sessions, you know – when pouring his heart and soul into this project. It's one of those things that I don't think I would have given a second thought to if I didn't have this stupid new quasi-curse of listening to albums like a flippin' mixer/producer. That said, "Why" is probably my favorite track on the album.
It's kind of like once you've run your first kitchen as a chef, eating out is a whole different experience where you're all at once over critical of everything and how you would do it differently, and here's the thing — it doesn't change the experiences of the people around you. The real joy of a chef is peeking out from behind the swinging door and seeing someone take a bite of a dish you put your soul into and watching their eyes roll back and that "Mmmmmmmm…" There's nothing like it.
Likewise, as an artist, watching people start to close their eyes, bob their heads in rhythm and get taken to someplace else for a while through the music, that's what it's all about. How they get there is subjective, and that's I think what we've run into, here, with the review's mention of "clear" yet "muddy and not sharp enough." One thing you learn pretty quickly when mixing an album is that your ears adjust. So, if you're working on a song, the small changes get absorbed into the song. Try this — if you listen to music with your EQ flat, boost your treble up for about 5 minutes. Now, change it back. It sounds weird — even dull and kind of lifeless, doesn't it? Then, however, after another 5 minutes, it's the "new normal," again, and it just is how it is. I would wager some of this happened not only when producing this album but when listening to it, as well. I know it came into play on the one I worked on. Good gravy, it did. At any rate, the point is this — the mix is clean. You can pick out every ingredient — the drums (Brian Tichy is absolutely on point), the bass, the guitars, the vocals, the spices (some synths, some choir-y parts). There are times that the bass eats the kick, a little, but that's also something that comes into play with this observation — this, like any album, depends upon that on which you're listening to it. In my case, I listened on my studio rig through my monitor speakers. I'm very used to the tone on these, now, so I know their tendencies and I also have tried to keep them as flat as possible, response-wise.
So, this album is "flat," and what I mean by that is that it's not jacked one way or another, not over-bassy and not treble-heavy, and it is definitely not "lifeless." It has a good balance. Now, there are places where there's a little mud right in the 120-500Hz range where ALL the instruments want to play, but that is, to me, to be expected in metal, and, honestly, in pretty much everything short of piano concertos or pan flutes. So, the clatter about "muddy and not sharp enough" really comes down to this — poke your EQ, sparky. I know that when producing, there's that goal that you produce an album that won't "need" EQ-doinking, but reality comes crashing in when you realize every human on this planet has not only different tastes, but different ears that are more sensitive to different frequencies than others and, really, in order to make everyone happy, everyone's going to have to put in a little effort. Hmm…That came out funny, but I stand by it.
If you think a recording sounds a little dull, it may be one of a billion variables, but one of the easiest fixes, if you think a recording is muddy, is to poke the mid-high and high EQ sliders up a bit and maybe even scoop the mids a little. I mean, growing up listening to metal on my little walkman with the 3-band EQ on the side, I adjusted it for just about every album I ever played in that thing, and I played a LOT of metal. So, I guess my point here is that if you're thinking it's a bit muddy, tweak a bit, because the overall production is tight. There are some places where it's a little *too* flat, for my taste, but I'd rather have it flat and be able to adjust it to sound good to my ears than have it so jacked to one extreme or the other I a way that I can't adjust it to my preference. Those spots are also few and far between and don't take away from the listening experience of the album. It's just something that, for better or worse, I pick up and hone in on, now, that I didn't used to.
So, after all this, what do I think of that album?! It's a solid-ass effort from Chris that shows just how much he's progressed as a musician and song-writer. The songs are more involved, complex and produced with more dynamics and appreciation for white-spaces. I appreciate the growth that's gone into his vocals and, truly, he's found his own voice and I dig it. Again — 80s metal, man, 80s metal! I enjoy the songs a lot. I enjoy knowing the stories behind them. I enjoy how the stories are told. This album embodies what I wish more artists would try — honest, hard-working and just pure Chris. Hmmm…I'm not saying other bands should try to be pure Chris, but try putting in the love and effort into their work. It's funny — the review that shall not be named inferred that Chris basically churned this out because he needed the money and some form of pity grab. I have absolutely no idea where that came from.
For me, the standout tracks are the title track – a perfect, blistering opener – "Why," "Hot Wheelz," "I Never Knew" and "2-26-15," which is elevated that much more if you know what that date means to Chris. If you don't, ask him. That's not to say that "Arm and a Leg" isn't heavy as hell and well executed or that "Just Fine" isn't a bad-ass jam that channels the 80s perfectly, or that there is any filler on this album. It just means that those were the songs that I gravitated to, thus bringing this back to how subjective this all is. I dig the album. More to the point, I take the album as a whole – the effort, the late nights, the love and everything that goes into taking what's in your heart and getting to unleash it on the world. It's the blistering solos, sure, but it's also the person poured into it. Take some time to get to know it and you won't be disappointed.
In closing, "Your Heaven Is Real" is pure Chris and executed not flawlessly (though pretty close), but honestly — and it's honestly a great album.

Dunno if this works on XP, but you might take a look at loadlin.exe. There is a mini-HOWTO on using it on Win 95/98/ME. It is a DOS program that will start the Linux boot process from DOS, and I have used it sucessfully in the past (but not on XP).

I'm am pretty please with myself - I conquered the alarm again! Wohoo, so hoping I can back into a regular get up and get out habit. Fingers-crossed my little mini-vacation over labor day doesn't squash the progress.
This morning I ran 3.1 miles in 40 minutes. It was rough going, with getting back into the weights I have muscle groups that are complaining!
The loop I was running starts off with a couple little hills which about killed me each time I looped around, but I need to work on those hills.
The first mile my calves were screaming at me. They finally loosened up, then my thighs kicked in, and by mile 3 my left foot hit the numb stage again. It didn't last too long, I was able to work it out, but it was like my body was just falling apart. So I kept my pace nice and easy and tried to just enjoy the tunes and watching the sun come up.
I miss the light already - and it's going to just get darker and darker! sigh.
So Friday I am planning on putting in a yoga tape at home. Then I get to take the boy to finish up school shopping.
Saturday I have on tap for my long run - 6 miles this week, Sunday is an exercise rest day. I have lots of house project's planned for these 2 days so
Monday I am going to either put in a tape or add a 3-5 mile run. I don't have to go into work, but I do need to work on my class. I am thinking of a family float down the river or hitting a beach.
Tuesday is kid's back to school day! I am going to drop off the Kindergartner and head up to the gym and find something fun and relaxing to do (movie, nails, me shopping...) before I have to pick her up at 3.
Sometime during this time I am going to prep and plan for the next week or so.
I need to get a handle on the nutrition.
So I can run run run my way to October.

Hello all
I'm running Featherlinux live from a CD on an old Compaq server. I've copied the contents of the various hard drive partitions on this Compaq server to a Windows share mounted via Samba.
I would like to make sure that I have an exact copy of the local files on the Compaq partitions copied to my Windows share. So I want to compare the resulting the files with the original ones. I'm using "diff" for this purpose.
I execute the command:
diff -r maal/compaq /media
The program executes for a while and then outputs the following message:
I've also tried this command, to compare file names and corresponding file sizes:
cmp `ls -R -s --block-size=1 /maal/compaq` `ls -R -s --block-size=1 /media`
Which, after some time, outputs the same:
I can't figure out what is killing it or why it is being killed. The tar command produces the same results:
root@0[knoppix]# tar -cpkf 1048576 maal/compaq/back.tar.gz /media/sda2 /media/sda5 /media/sdb1
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
Does anyone know how to make sure the process I'm running doesn't get killed?
Thanks in advance!

To the Editor:
Prisons would find it easier to provide the necessary treatment for hepatitis C and other medical conditions (front page, Aug. 6) if the prison population were not swollen to two million, the majority of whom are nonviolent drug offenders.
Overincarceration leaves states unable to provide prisoners with sufficient medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment.
Further, a study by the RAND Corporation shows that every dollar spent on treatment instead of imprisonment saves $7 in state costs. And a recent survey commissioned by the American Civil Liberties Union shows that three-quarters of Americans favor treatment and probation over prison for nonviolent drug use.
Policy experts and the public have figured it out. It is now time for the politicians to get in step.

North Dorset MP Announces He Will Step Down
4:26pm 5th December 2014
After nearly 18 years in parliament, North Dorset's MP Bob Walter is stepping down ahead of the next general election.
The 71 year old isn't walking away from politics altogether but he does feel it's time for a younger Conservative politician to try and fill his shoes.
He said: "It has been an honour and a privilege to serve the people of North Dorset for the last 17 years as their elected Member of Parliament. Stepping down has been a very difficult decision and not one I have taken lightly.
"However, I want the best for my constituents and am now confident that a new Conservative MP will be better able, by the end of the next parliament, to withstand the rigors of what is undoubtedly a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week job. They will have my full support.
"I and my team in Westminster and at my Blandford constituency office will, of course, continue to represent and provide assistance to all constituents who have need of it up until 7 May 2015, when a new MP for North Dorset will be elected."
Bob was elected back in 1997 and in 2010 managed to increase his majority.

Hey everyone. Glad it's Friday?
It is sometimes amazing how we can start the week in a completely different mental or emotional place than where we end up. I have to admit, I started out pretty rough, with some weighty things bearing down on me. But as the week went on, good conversations with friends and students lifted me up.
Besides that, as always, there were a few bits of generosity and creativity that impacted me this week.
In My Kindle
I admitted a few weeks ago that I had started a new reading habit of which I am not entirely proud: the celebrity memoir. I have read Jim Gaffigan, Mindy Kaling, and now Rachel Dratch. You might remember her from Saturday Night Live. She was "Debbie Downer."
Rachel's story is hardly a "fairy tale." Basically, everything she's done, she had to try at least twice in order to achieve. And what I have gotten out of these celebrity memoirs, above all else, is that just because someone has been on TV, it does not mean their life has been easy. Life is a struggle…for everyone (not just you and me). Most of the people who you and I think are very glamorous are actually unemployed most of the time. But despite a lot of difficulties, things work out in unexpected ways (hence the subtitle "midlife miracle.") Her story ends rather open-ended too, because that's how life is.
In My Blog Reader
Everyone wants to find a great purpose to their lives. We want to know that we are making an impact on the world, and we never really feel like we are doing enough. Steve Weins lets us in on the dirty little secret about finding our purpose in life. What an encouraging and challenging thing to read this week.
It's true – if you aspire to be a writer, you'd better get comfortable (or at least be able to tolerate) rejection. And really, doesn't that go for all of life? Living with rejection is just a good life lesson. The first publisher that rejected Life After Art told us it sounded too much like All I Really Needed to Know I Learned In Kindergarten. If you are wanting to publish a book, read this to-do list from Katie Axelson on handling rejection as a writer.
Finally, I was so excited to meet longtime blog-friend Caris Adel a few weeks ago at STORY (and even more excited to learn that we have more in common than we thought.) As a guy who really feels like a misfit in the modern church, I really appreciated what she had to say with Pastor Kings and Servant Leaders.
Oh, and if you don't remember "Debbie Downer," watch her first and best appearance (despite the pre-train-wreck-but-still-annoying Lindsey Lohan who was hosting that night).
Those were the highlights of my week. What fueled you this week?

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Suicide bombings fell in November to their lowest level in seven months, the American military said Thursday, citing the success of U.S.-Iraqi military operations against insurgent and foreign fighter sanctuaries near the Syrian border.
But the trend in Iraq has not resulted in less bloodshed: 85 U.S. troops died during the month, one of the highest tolls since the invasion.
Nevertheless, Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, a coalition operations officer, warned that al-Qaida in Iraq, led by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, will likely step up attacks in the next two weeks to try to disrupt parliamentary elections Dec. 15.
Lynch told reporters that suicide bombings declined to 23 in November as U.S. and Iraqi forces were overrunning insurgent strongholds in the Euphrates River valley west of the capital.
Communities along the river are believed used by foreign fighters, who slip into the country from Syria and travel down the river highway to Baghdad and other cities.
Lynch called suicide bombings the insurgents' "weapon of choice" because they can inflict a high number of casualties while sacrificing only the attacker. Classic infantry ambushes draw withering American return fire, resulting in heavy insurgent losses.
Despite the decline over the past month, there has been no letup in the relentless toll of American deaths at a time of growing discontent in the United States over the Iraq war.

Question on turbulent dispersion force in momentum
Hi everyone, I'm simulating a stirred tank with one dispersed bubble phase (Eulerian - k-eps dispersed model). I'd like to know if the turbulent dispersion force by Simonin (accessed through the TUI) is significant in this kind of flow. I tend to think it is. The thing is it is difficult to get convergence in this configuration with the turbulent dispersion force. Is it due to the free surface flow interface between primary and secondary phase ? Does anyone have a strategy or a clue about this ? I keep digging. Cheers Emm.

Rex is a 'Deployment & Configuration Management' also knows as DevOps framework. Interestingly, it is in Perl, for Perl language. There is Ruby's Chef & Puppet, Python's Ansible, and Perl also has those frameworks too, but here I'm pointing to Rex because it will be much more familiar to Puppet, Chef and Ansible users in syntax and workflow perspectives.
Why do this in Perl?
Perl itself has been designed and well known for its powerful features on sysadmin tasks. Combine with this kind of framework, you are just gonna be much happier on getting the job done. Fortunately, if you are trying to opt to write 'maintainable and long-term modules/scripts' without using Rex, Modern Perl as a guideline should help you doing so, and CPAN with much lesser code in general.

Kevin's Review: The Happening - A Different, But Familiar, Shyamalan
by Kevin Powers
June 12, 2008
- US Release Date: June 13, 2008
- Genre: Drama, Thriller
- MPAA: Rated R (for violent and disturbing images)
- Running Time: 91 minutes
- Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan
- on IMDb
- 7/10
The Happening may not be a reboot of a previous storyline or character (ala The Incredible Hulk, also out this weekend), but it certainly aims to recharge M. Night Shyamalan's career. Since the writer/director (and sometimes actor) crept into the public consciousness with the Sixth Sense back in 1999, his career hasn't exactly gone skyward, save for the slight altitude gained from Signs in 2002. With his last two films, The Village and Lady in the Water, many started to believe that Shyamalan lacked the needed endurance. The Happening doesn't allay those fears completely, but it might help level out his reputation. With this film, Shyamalan embraces his first R-rating in disturbing, visceral fashion. While far from perfect, it's a blend of Shyamalan's trademark underlying distress and, for the first time, conspicuous acts of violence - the result of which is an unsettling fear and paranoia that follows you well after the film is over.
Unlike Shyamalan's previous, highly independent films, The Happening seems to take cues from a couple of other sci-fi thrillers, such as War of the Worlds and The Mist. One morning in Central Park something happens that causes masses of people to suddenly stop what they're doing and ultimately fatally attack themselves - jumping from buildings, shooting themselves, laying down in front of a riding lawnmower. The incidents are widely reported and in this post-9/11 world, naturally chalked up to a terrorist attack of some sort. Since the events are not isolated to New York, school teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) catches wind of the news and hops a train out of Philadelphia with his disaffected wife, Alma (Zooey Deschanel), and friend Julian (John Leguizamo) and Julian's daughter 8-year-old Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez). Their escape is cut short at a small town north of the city after the conductors lose contact with "everyone." Passengers and residents of the small town turn to the news and learn that the unseen phenomenon continues to spread, prompting most to flee northward to an area that appears unaffected.
Various theories are bounced around throughout the film as to the cause of the events, none of which are given any seal of approval. Being a science teacher, Elliot tries to systematically break down the evidence and happenings, which encourages the audience to consider the answer as well. This is first time where the film comes up short. The deconstructing dialogue and Elliot's self-talking proves malformed and often wrapped in forehead-slapping obviousness. The character's reactions and behavior prove equally stunted. The film does superbly well with the quirky Deschanel, but Wahlberg stretches his likability thinner than saran wrap. Other characters that come and go provide little color, beyond just a hue of blood red. Shyamalan also loses a few points for having a premise so reminiscent of other films. This might not be a criticism if it was anyone but Shyamalan, who we've come to trust him for his unique storytelling and creativity. That being said, he does an admirable job of adding his own trademark complexity and feel. He paces and texturizes the film in such a way that it feels like a classic (or maybe it's just reminiscent of one).
The idea that permeates the film more than anything, and which can be heard early on, is that "there are forces at work beyond our understanding." More disturbing than that is the idea that something could cause humans to go against their natural instincts - instead of fighting and fleeing, they stop and kill themselves. It's a fantastic angle. Considering Shyamalan's library of supernatural thrillers, The Happening is a refreshing and fitting complement. The film is certainly an outgrowth of the traditional Shyamalan formula, which people will either love or hate. Regardless of which camp you claim, it's hard to argue against Shyamalan being one of the most compelling, creative storytellers today. The Happening, happily, continues in that fashion.

It would be a lovely tradition to revive, though; may talk to the

the Bilbo and Frodo birthday party (complete with reading the first
chapter), but AFAIK, there is no marathon reading.

From: "Joseph Payne" <>
Subject: Reuben Payne "Overseer" for Gov. John Sevier 1793
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 96 00:03:39 UT
This weekend my brother and I attended along with 750 other members of the
First Families of Tennessee a celebration of our heritage. At the Museum of
Appalachia in Norris, Tennessee we were treated to a pig roast, catered by
Buddys Barbaque.
Today we attended lectures at the McCloung Museum, Knoxville on life in early
Tennessee and programs staged by volunteers of Knoxville's actors guild,
Native American culture and county historical societies. While at the museum
my brother, who had travel from Tucson, Az just for the occasion noticed in a
book for sale an excerpt of Gov. John Sevier's Diary. The transcription
mentioned Reuben Payne having been appointed the Govenors "overseer". I asked
upstairs a behold the entire transcritption written in 1914 by the ggrandson
of Gov. Sevier was in the McClung special colletion. The following is parts
of that diary that pertained to My ggggrandfather Rebuen Payne and his brother
James Payne. We have various family histories that say that Reuben was born
in England and moved to the frontier probably after 1780. I am not
convienced of that as he immediately established himself one of who I consider
to be one of the founding fathers of not only the State of Tennessee but of
the country as a whole. If you have time to read this I hope you will know
the pride I experienced when I learned of my progeny being thought of so well
by this famous man.

Israeli Art and Artists
Israel Travel Blog› entry 5 of 10 › view all entries
February 21st, 2008 – by: esterrene
I spent an entire day wandering alone through the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. I only left so I could catch the last bus out of the city to a friend's house, otherwise I would have stayed until closing (or even later if possible :P). It was my first real introduction to Israeli Artists of the last half century. Artistic style and concepts ranged from classical to post modern, from minimal to outrageous, from primitive to complex. In addition to contemporary Israeli artists the museum also exhibited art from well known international artists such as Gustav Klimt, Vincent Van Gogh, Monet and Marc Chagall, but not in the same volume as the Met or other long established museums.
The country was also filled with intriguing public art situated on the side of roads in busy cities, small towns and rural farmlands. The style was often more expressive with an abstract quality then with realistic forms of animal and human figures. My conclusion to why the Israeli public art is more abstract in style has to do with Israel being a young country established during a time when the popular western art style was abstract expressionism.
Creative towns like Zefat were established as artistic settlements, though Zefat is more of an orthodox town then a town filled with artists. There were a few galleries and some creative outlets to explore but not as much as I originally expected, But the town is still worth visiting. There is a great candle store to check out. The candle artists create traditional, ceremonial, and highly detail biblical scenes with colored wax. very cool :P.

The Tamil film industry would be on an 'unofficial' holiday on the day after tomorrow i.e. on the 3rd July as two mega-weddings are slated to take place on that day. The venue of the weddings, however, would be different but it won't make much of a difference to the remaining artistes and technicians in Kollywood who are keen to take part in these wedding celebrations.
Actor Karthi is all set to tie the nuptial know with Ranjani in a marriage scheduled to take place at Coimbatore. The actor, who is one of the most sought-after heroes at present, got engaged to Ranjani some time back and is eagerly waiting for the D-Day. His father Sivakumar and brother Suriya have been busily distributing invitation cards to their friends and relatives for the past month.
Another wedding slated for the same day would be that of director Selvaraghavan who is all set to marry Geetanjali, who had been working as an assistant director with him in his upcoming project 'Irandam Ulagam'. The marriage would be Selva's second after his failed marriage with actress Sonia Agarwal which resulted in divorce last year.
Selva, as he is called by his friends, says he has found 'real love' in his fiancé Geetanjali. Their marriage would be held in Chennai which would be followed by a grand reception the very next day at the Mayor Ramanathan Chettiyar Hall in Chennai while Karthi's reception would be held on 7th July at the Royal Le Meridien Hotel. As both Karthi and Selva are quite popular in Kollywood, almost all the stars and technicians would be taking a day off on Sunday to attend these weddings.
Let's wish both the couples in advance!

Cartaxo is a Portuguese city on the centre of Portugal. In this assignment, I decided to live the cliché behind, making a guide with some benchmarks and some characteristic events of the city, which describes the beauty of it in a more faithful and true way. The kit is composed by a map, which marks all the points of interest of the city, and 8 detachable postcards that serve as souvenirs and information guides.
Thank You!

My Nonprofit Reviews
Eric J.
Review for GREY2K USA Education Fund, Arlington, MA, USA
The GREY2K USA Education Fund has done so much to promote greyhounds as pets, from adoption to supplying materials for classroom presentations, and even supporting literacy programs. The Ed Fund provides books about adopted greyhounds to help young students learn about greyhounds and taking care of pets. Their humane education work includes a number of items like wristbands and buttons. Kids get to take home a memento of their classroom experience. The feedback from students is wonderful. The kids write about how they've committed themselves to being good stewards of animals. It's really heart-warming to see. Great job, Ed Fund.
I am the Vice-President of the Ed Fund's sister organization, GREY2K USA Worldwide. I am not involved in the governance, but I am a donor and supporter of the Education Fund.
Review for GREY2K USA Worldwide, Arlington, MA, USA
Laws are changing, stadiums are closing, fewer dogs are being bred, less money is being wagered, and the inherent cruelty of the greyhound racing industry is being exposed. GREY2K USA Worldwide continues to push for the elimination of commercial greyhound racing. It's no surprise that a small but vocal minority of people intimately involved in the industry try to cast aspersions, but their claims are baseless and completely exposed with even a modicum of research. GREY2K USA Worldwide has earned top status from Great Nonprofits because of their transparency and thoroughness. You will certainly not see anything of the sort from the industry.
Eric, you are so right. Greyhound racing is cruel and inhumane and the world is realizing that greyhounds deserve better than to be treated like trash, used and then disposed of, once their speed declines. Together, we can end this terrible situation around the globe! Christine Dorchak, Esq. President, GREY2K USA Worldwide
Review for GREY2K USA Education Fund, Arlington, MA, USA
The GREY2K USA Education Fund has done so much to further public knowledge of greyhound racing. I actively support their mission. The work they have done to promote reading and humane education is exceptional. Great work.
Review for GREY2K USA Education Fund, Arlington, MA, USA
GREY2K USA Education Fund has done a great job of helping bring light to the truth of greyhound racing. I am proud to be a supporter of this great charity.

The winners of Britain's biggest-ever lottery prize have described how they celebrated joining the ranks of the super-rich with bacon sandwiches.
Ms Laycock, 41, said: ''It's so strange as I'd been out the night before with friends and I'd bought a ticket as well.
''We'd been talking about what we thought would happen if you won.
''I joked that the machine would explode, smoke would come out from it with ticker tape and glitter and six gold-painted Egyptian men would come out and carry me off. It was slightly different!''
The couple were so relaxed about their win they went for breakfast at the cafe in their local Waitrose while they waited for the Camelot adviser to arrive.
The couple, who live near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, have three children between them from previous relationships.
Ms Laycock said: "Camelot told us an adviser was on their way so while we waited we decided to go out and have some breakfast together as a family.
"It sounds bizarre but we just felt very calm."
Mr Page, 43, runs a property maintenance business and Ms Laycock works for a local estate agents in Cirencester. They both plan to give up work.
Mr Page recently started playing online and had already won £55 earlier in the week in Wednesday's Lotto draw.
He said: "I'd already checked my national lottery account and had seen I'd won £55 when I decided to buy two Lucky Dips for the big EuroMillions jackpot on Friday.
"I didn't think about it again until Saturday morning when I was watching the news with my daughter and saw there was one UK winner who shared the jackpot with a ticket in Spain.
"I remember even joking it might be me. I logged on to my account and saw the win for £55 in my account and just below it was the £56 million EuroMillions competition prize.
"I started shaking and couldn't speak. I just kept looking at it on the screen in front of me but I couldn't say a word."
Mr Page then woke his partner of eight years who was still asleep.
She said: "I knew something was up as Nigel never wakes me up on a Saturday morning and he looked so worried.
"All he said was, 'I need you urgently, I need to show you something'.
"I thought something awful had happened but he took me to the computer. There it was on the screen.
"His hands were shaking so much he couldn't pick up the phone so I called the lottery line and they confirmed it was true.
"We were the £56 million winners."
The couple have three children from previous relationships - Mr Page's daughter Ella, 12, and Ms Laycock's son and daughter, Jacob, 11, and Georgia, 15.
Mr Page has been a sky-diving fan for nine years and is a member of his local sky-diving club in South Cerney.
He said: "I've jumped out of a plane at 12,000ft but that's nothing compared to how I'm feeling now!
"I've been a sky-diving fan for many years and I would love to set up my own indoor sky-diving centre.
"There are only three in the country and I plan to use some of the win to set up the first one in the south west."
The couple plan to buy a new house but want to stay in the Cirencester area and hope to use their win to travel.
Ms Laycock said: "It would be lovely to get a five- or six-bedroom house with a pool and lots of space but we really enjoy the area we live in now so we won't move far.
"We'd also like to buy somewhere abroad where we can go on holiday but it'll have to be in the school holidays!"
Cars are also near the top of their wish-list.
Mr Page currently drives a white van which is four years old and the last payment is due on it next month.
He is planning to swap it for a Range Rover Sport or a BMW X5.
Ms Laycock drives a Honda Civic and may swap that for a sports car but has not yet decided which make.
The couple are now top of the National Lottery Rich List ahead of Les Scadding and his wife Sam from south Wales, and a syndicate of seven from Liverpool. The Scaddings and the syndicate banked £45.5 million each in November last year.
Speaking at a press conference in Bath, the elated couple said their win had left them speechless and was an "amazing feeling".
Mr Page said he had initially struggled to believe he had hit the jackpot when he checked his ticket.
"It was Saturday morning. I was sitting at the breakfast table with my daughter - she was about to go off on a ski trip - and we had the news on and they said someone had won in Spain and in Britain.
"I said perhaps we ought to go and check the ticket."
He said on logging on to his computer, he had been greeted with a message informing him of his good fortune.
"My daughter was sat next to me as well and she was bemused and didn't really know what to make of it. We just looked at it for a couple of seconds," he said.
He said he had to go and upstairs to raise his partner and ask her to double check the results.
"I got up," Ms Laycock said. "He said it was important. He had lost his voice, he couldn't speak."
On checking the numbers herself, she added: "I went in and went, 'Oh my God'.
"So we sat there for about a minute in silence."
Looking at her partner, she went on: "We just went into the front room, didn't we, and started to laugh. It was an amazing feeling."

I sat through a great presentation this weekend at Todcon on Web 2.0 tools and listened a bit about what defines them. Although we've been using (and creating them for a couple of years now), I'm always fascinated by the many different ways they're defined. The truth is that, to a degree, it's all marketing speak.
For me Web 2.0 tools are defined by the word synergy. Not synergy like the corporate sales speak of "we create synergies in an effort to a develop a value-added paradigm" crap. I mean synergy like it was originally defined before consultants got involved, i.e. "The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects."
For example, look at Amazon.com. There are many things that make that service successful, e if you're just looking at books. For me, the best value of Amazon is the collective intelligence it possesses. I can't get the reviews and ratings of thousands of people seeking the same kind of book at my local Borders. I can't see what thousands of people who bought my book also bought. It's amazing to consider that they've captured emergence at such a grand scale.
Google Docs is an example in micro. We have the option to create and, more importantly collaborate, on documents without the barriers of which version is where. We are finally, really leveraging the interconnectedness of the web to its fullest potential. (ok, it has more potential but it's still pretty cool).
I ran into jingproject.com from TechSmith this weekend. It is AMAZING. Basically, you install the Jing software on your pc or mac, start it up and then move on with your day. When there comes a time that you'd like to share something on your machine (e.g. capture a bad thing that happened for technical support or show someone how to do something) with others, you do a quick keystroke and you can record your screen. Now, I know there has been screen capture available for years. TechSmith is one of the pioneers in that area. However, this system takes the video and connects it seamlessly to their hosted platform and gives you a private link.
What really sets it apart is that it take down all of the barriers. Capturing what you want to capture is dead simple and sharing it is even simpler. Very cool stuff.
