The other day at work I felt a strong sting on the back left of my neck, like a mosquito bite but more painful. It was enough to kind of throw me off what I was doing for a second. I have had this maybe 1/2 times before in the last few weeks or months, dont remember when.
I googled when I got back and it says lhermittes sign which is a symptom of MS. I then starting googling more and Ive been feeling tingles everywhere, random twitches. I know that could be anxiety because I seemed to get more after I googled it.
But another thing is foot drop, someone once said jokingly I slap my feet down hard when walking and it never really occurred to me but now its all adding up. Im worried I have foot drop and I keep videoing me walking and seeing if my foot is actually moving when I walk and it is fine or if my legs are picking it up higher because it is weak. One thing leads to another and apparently if you have foot drop, your knees become hyperflexible to compensate... mine are very hyperflexible.
Sounds crazy but Ive been bending my neck around all day to see if it triggers the shock sensation, been heel walking across the room to make sure I dont have foot drop.
Anyone else experienced any of these? Im so worried right now and finding it hard to look forward to anything. I havent had health anxiety in 2 and a half years and now its all come back.

It is still remarkably warm for this time of year. Great talking with fellow participants from the Economist and Open Media.

I had neglected one possible mutation of the BDS virus in the wake of dawning realization that the original goals of the "movement" (to get major civic organizations like universities and churches to embrace their "Israel = Apartheid" propaganda message) are growing ever beyond reach.
There have always been elements of threats, intimidation, and even violence within the range of internally acceptable activities carried out by BDSers over the years. While originally isolated to howling pro-Israel speakers off the stage at colleges like Berkeley and Hampshire, this tactic has moved from the periphery to the center of chosen BDS tactics as more and more people are rejecting their central message that BDS represents some kind of a "peace movement" worthy of respect.
When you look at what the BDSers brag about as "victories," they include items like getting an landlord to not renew the lease for an Ahava store in London, largely by making life hell for Ahava's retail neighbors through non-stop protests (including violent protests) that disrupted business activity for years. Today, you can see the same tactic being employed in Australia (although Down Under, Australian civil society has reacted by defending the target of these attacks and condemning the attackers).
Lately, the boycott brigade has moved from disrupting pro-Israel speakers (to ensure their voice never gets heard) to shouting and blowing bullhorns at artistic performances that dare to include Israeli dancers and musicians (most recently the nasty interruption of the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra playing the Proms concert event in the UK).
This switch from trying to convince to threatening and intimidating has accelerated over the last several months, to the point where it is clearly becoming the central choice of strategy from the BDS playbook. And, in a sense, who can blame them for going down this route? After all, if you cannot demonstrate your relevance by actually achieving a political objective, you can still garner a headline by throwing a public tantrum, even if such effort simply turn more and more people against you and the Palestinian cause you claim to represent.
And property targeted, even the threat of violence and disruption can bend people to your will (as this example illustrates). The fact that such "achievements" convince no one means nothing as the BDS "movement" moves from trying to win actual victories to trying to keep its own members from realizing their own impotency and irrelevance.
I've noted before that Israel does not face a de-legitimization problem so much as it faces a propaganda problem (i.e., the well funded effort of enemy nation states and their allies abroad to besmirch the Jewish state's reputation in every possible forum and at every possible opportunity).
But with this recent turn to threats and violent protest as the primary pillar of BDS strategy, I think I've got to revise that statement to say that Israel is primarily facing an asshole problem, i.e., the decision by the nasty, the brutish and the shortsighted to pursue the tactics of intimidation, regardless of how ultimately ineffective they have proven to be and how counter-productive these choices are for their own claimed cause.

Lim Tze Peng mentioned he has a profound fascination for trees, more specifically cyprus and pine trees as they embody the virtues of a cultured and upright man–"Only when the cold season comes is the point brought home that the pine and the cypress are the last to lose their leaves", a quote by Confucius. In his painting, he uses strong sturdy strokes to embody the strength and will of the cypress tree. According to Lim, an artist has to create order out of chaos. Lim likes to focus on the abstract forms of a tree as opposed to the macro view of a landscape. Using this perspective, order is given to the branches' lawless bends and curves.
Born in Singapore in 1921, Lim Tze Peng is one of Singapore's most significant artists and a living legend. Renowned for his Chinese ink creations of post-independence Singapore, he also practices Chinese calligraphy. Alongside local and international exhibitions, his masterpieces are exhibited in prominent Singapore institutions and part of many prestigious collections. Lim has been bestowed several awards including the Special Prize at the Commonwealth Art Exhibition in England in 1977 and the prestigious Cultural Medallion in Singapore in 2003. In May 2012, he broke records with the sale of his works at a Christies auction in Hong Kong.

Creating the Ultimate Outdoor Man Cave with a Hot Tub
Have All the Right Stuff
If you don't like it, you're not going to use it. So, take time to think about all the things you enjoy, like, and dislike.
- Should it have hook ups and mounting systems for gadgets such as portable tvs, iPads, iPods, and other electronics?
- Do you prefer reading materials?
- A place to keep beverages cold?
The ultimate mancave will also have a hot tub or hot tub and sauna to relax in at the end of a hard day. It can't be just any hot tub, however.
When choosing a hot tub, make sure to choose one that's comfortable for your bigger frame. It should have enough room for you and all your best guy pals (or your significant other). Add a towel warmer, built-in fridge, and in the surrounding, make sure there's a place to set drinks, a magazine, the phone, and all the important things you'll need access to while enjoying it.
As for location, men don't exactly like to be surrounded by flowers and floral scents. So consider creating adding some extra space around the tub. Then you can build a structure around it that ivy could climb on, or use other greenery around it to add privacy and a decorative touch. Lighting is a must.
Be Convenient
You work hard enough all day and all week. You shouldn't have to work to enjoy your mancave. So, make sure everything is set up wisely — towels within reach of the hot tub, remotes for electronics, etc. It should be a short walk from the house, and not make you walk on cacti to get there!
Everything should also be long-lasting and low maintenance. So, when choosing the plants, items, and materials for your mancave, keep this in mind.
Be Comfortable
Your mancave has to be comfortable. Find reclining lawn furniture, or get adventurous and find indoor furniture you can move outside, just build an awning to keep it protected. Like pictures and posters of cars or babes? No problem! Get them laminated! Add bug screens and citronella candles to keep away the pests and anything else you need to make yourself feel at home.
The most important thing about a mancave is that it suits you and matches your personal taste. Do that and you'll have the best one ever created — the guys will never want to go home. Who knows? The girls might even start coming over, if you feel like sharing, of course.

Chief Beckwith Reports
The Willoughby Police Department is currently staffed with forty-three full-time sworn officers and fifteen full-time civilian staff. Nine of those are Communications Operators (dispatchers). This is complemented with several part-time civilian staff and a variable number of part-time sworn officers up to thirty-three at full staff. The Department is comprised of a number of divisions including Patrol, Detective Bureau, Community Involvement, Court/Jail Officers, Dispatch, Clerical, Victims' Advocates, and Administration. Within those divisions, there is a firearms training unit, Crash investigation unit, DARE Officers, Motorcycle unit, ERT (SWAT) officers, Defensive Tactics instructors, Evidence, Photography, and other specialty areas.
The Willoughby Police Department strives to maintain a positive image in the community by making every effort to be fair in our application of the law, be pro-active in crime prevention, and maintain transparency with the public. We hold ourselves accountable and take advantage of every training opportunity possible for our staff.
We would like to take every opportunity to encourage the community to also be pro-active in crime prevention and also educate yourselves in the current trends in crime. All too often we take reports from citizens who fall victim to frauds and lose considerable amounts of money. ALWAYS take the time to contact us and ask questions before giving any information or funds in any form to anyone seeking them that you were not already expecting. Also, do not hesitate to contact us if you see anything unusual. We would prefer to receive information that turns out to be nothing then not receive a report of a crime in progress.
In closing, I would like to say that as Chief of the Willoughby Police Department since July of 2012, much has happened and there is still much to be done. The entire staff works together with the goal of operating in such a manner as to accomplish the mission of the department and better serve the community. As a native of Willoughby, I have a personal interest in the success of the Department and its effectiveness in carrying out our mission. To assist me with that, I want to encourage and increase two-way communication between the Willoughby Police Department, its personnel, and both the business and residential community.

The Market in 2017 again showed very strong increases across the board in both dollar amount and # of Sales. The market is increasing strength, and that makes it a great time to buy. Values are still slightly below their high water mark in 2008. Couple the lower prices with unbelievably low interest rates, and you have a perfect buying storm.
Consider a buyer whose gross annual income ($60,190) allows them to make a monthly payment of $1,555. The $1,555 monthly payment qualifies them for the following loan amounts on an FRM:
|4.0%: $325,800
|4.5%: $306,900
|5.0%: $289,700
|5.5%: $273,800
|6.0%: $259,400
|6.5%: $246,000
Buyers focus solely on prices, but the real value in owning and financing a Lake home is what your interest rates will be long term. The savings are astronomical. These artificially low rates will not last forever, don't wait for a big spike in rates to purchase. Buy now and save$$$$$!

Subject: LES FORGES DE MONTRÉAL ORDERED TO EVICT!
Montréal, August 8 – In an effort to support Les Forges de Montréal, we are asking the public to share the video Refusons l'éviction des Forges de Montréal.
We are grateful for the support expressed by a great number of people in the past few weeks. Les Forges de Montréal needs your continued support in raising awareness about our non-profit organization's current situation of by sharing our video, Refusons l'éviction des Forges de Montréal.
The city of Montréal issued an eviction order in February. The city owns the building that we have been renting since 2000, under a lease signed by both parties. According to the city, we failed to comply with a clause between 2006 and 2008, and are therefore being ordered to vacate the premises by December 2016. The city served notice eight (8) years after the alleged facts. Clearly, the time period for making claims has lapsed. The city's actions also fail to acknowledge Forges de Montréal's efforts to pass on valuable skills and knowledge that are part of our intangible heritage.
Forge de Montréal's mission is to raise public awareness, share knowledge and safeguard blacksmithing and the blacksmith trade. Our very survival is at stake at present. The building that we have been occupying for the past 16 years is used by artisan blacksmiths who practice their almost extinct trade on a daily basis, breathing life into an ancient craft and keeping it alive for future generations.
Les Forges de Montréal's unique undertaking to demonstrate and sustain blacksmithing, an intangible cultural heritage, shows great potential for development, provided we are given the opportunity to carry on our activities. We have made great efforts to maintain and enhance the heritage building in which we have taken up residence, to the extent of investing over a half-million dollars. The preservation of Riverside Pumping Station, built in 1887, is closely intertwined with Les Forges de Montréal's continued efforts. Unless actions are taken to cancel the eviction notice, all of our efforts and investments will have been futile.
Refusons l'éviction des Forges de Montréal from marsupilami dubitatif on Vimeo.
You can support Les Forges de Montréal and help us continue our activities at the old pumping station by sharing our video on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. We need your voice! You can also sign our petition, which was launched on July 5.
We're counting on you!

I met a number of the individuals involved with Forges de Montreal at CanIRON 9 in Trois Rivieres (2013)
Their enthusiasm was infectious. Their energy was simply amazing.
Blacksmithing continues to have a visibility problem as an element of fine craft inside Canada. Les Forges de Montreal is a gallant effort to bring our work in front of the public - as a vibrant contemporary art medium. It provides an excellent working space for artisan blacksmiths, and a rare teaching opportunity to ensure the skills are both developed and passed into new generations.
I met a number of the individuals involved with Forges de Montreal at CanIRON 9 in Trois Rivieres (2013)
Their enthusiasm was infectious. Their energy was simply amazing.

…but we saw it that way with maps. Come experience the world through our eyes—the eyes of our 360° aerial imaging. We capture images to open the world in true bird's eye fashion.
From years of experience combining 3D graphics and aerial photography, AerialSphere developed a methodology to mass capture immersive 360° aerial photos and post process them to match each pixel to its longitude and latitude coordinate.
That's important because until we developed our process, 360° aerial photography had dramatically limited utility. Once the latitude and longitude of the pixels in the image are determined the imagery becomes actionable. It's possible to integrate Geographic Information Services (GIS) data into the imagery and locate points of interest, roads, street addresses, schools, churches, parcel data, or any other GIS data within the sphere. Mapmakers, real estate companies, travel and tourism specialists can use our process to enhance their applications.

More on Orange:
Since 2010 Orange has ceased to be an independent company within the UK telecommunications world. As one of the biggest networks in Britain at the time, Orange were at constant war with the other largest network, which was T-Mobile. Forced to constantly undercut each other and limit each others profits, it was decided that they would merge. The decision between France Telecom (owner of Orange) and Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile owner) would mean that the joint operation would become the biggest in the UK with 37% of the market. In April 2010, after an investigation by the competition authorities, the two companies became one and rebranded to EE. For 18 months, the Orange brand would be continued but all retail stores would be converted into EE shops. Today, it is no longer possible to purchase an Orange sim card or contract deal.

5 Questions with Elke Hinze
Cynthia Wilson
February 09, 2016 | Leave a comment
Updated February 12, 2016
Being a developer means taking a client's dream and making it a reality.
Elke Hinze has worked as a web developer for 10 years. She specializes in WordPress plugins and themes and custom PHP applications. She completed an MS in Information Technology with a specialization in System Design and Programming from Capella University in 2005. Elke has worked for a variety of companies including the US-Army, The Manitowoc Company, and Orion Energy Systems. In her spare time, you'll find Elke slaying pixel dragons with the best of them in World of Warcraft.
1.What is your role at Studio Hyperset? What is your professional background?
I am a web developer for Studio Hyperset. I started in web development wayyy back in 1995 when the WWW was in its infancy. I remember seeing sites on Geocities and thinking that I could create what these people had done. So I reviewed their source code and started learning that way.
2.What project management tools do you use?
I use Basecamp and the calendar tool on my iPhone to keep track of important events.
3.What communication solutions do you use during the development process?
Basecamp! I love being able to refer to old conversations and find notes and other items I need. Email works for short, non-timely messages, but Basecamp really works best for conversation-intensive operations with lots of moving parts. We use Slack quite a bit for real-time team discussions, which is amazing! It works very well for sharing quick screenshots when discussing active projects.
4.What are some personal workflows you use when developing a project?
I tend to follow the traditional software development life cycle. It's so important to start a project and progress through the work in the proper fashion. This helps prevent problems later on, which saves both time and money and headaches.
5.What experience do you want people to take away from your work?
One of the things I love the most about being a developer is taking a client's dream and making it a reality. I really love helping people, and I can do that by creating pixel-magic for them! I hope all clients have excellent experiences when working with me and that they find the process simple and painless.

Improving healthcare for Medicaid patients
Millennium Collaborative Care, is igniting healthcare change in Western New York, by partnering with physicians, healthcare providers and community-based organizations to improve the delivery of health care for medicaid patients.
In order to ignite healthcare change and build partnerships, local physicians, healthcare providers and community-based organizations are encouraged to meet the overall goals set by the state.
1. To achieve the triple aim of improved population health, improved quality care, and controlled costs
2. Reduce avoidable hospital admissions by 25 percent over the next five years
3. Preserve and transform New York's fragile healthcare safety net to ensure all Medicaid beneficiaries have access to vital services
The Objective of DSRIP Partnerships
The DSRIP program aims to decrease spending by reducing avoidable hospitalizations and Emergency Department visits – requiring hospitals to "restructure themselves." This means reducing beds, strengthening their outpatient and primary-care focus and improving alignment with post-acute care settings.
Benefits of Being a DSRIP Partner
Funds are given to providers that are meeting DSRIP's set performance metrics. To obtain DSRIP funds, eligible providers must meet set milestones and metrics.
The state's long-term goal – DSRIP has a five-year timetable – is to move from a fee-for-service to a value-based system.
While the exact structure and requirements of each DSRIP initiative differ, there is a focus on meeting process type metrics in the early years of the waiver, such as system redesign or infrastructure development, and then meeting more outcome based metrics in later years, such as clinical health or population based improvements.

Dr. Laura A. Berner, a postdoctoral fellow at the UCSD Eating Disorders Center for Treatment and Research, recently received a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award for Postdoctoral Fellows from the National Institute of Mental Health. The three-year fellowship, co-sponsored by Drs. Walter Kaye and Alan Simmons, focuses on the neural systems mediating self-regulatory control processes in bulimia nervosa. Her research project, also supported by a grant from Hilda and Preston Davis Foundation, is the first to investigate brain activation and performance associated with multiple forms of self-regulation in this population. Her results could inform novel treatments for eating disorders characterized by behavioral and emotional dyscontrol.

There was a reasonable turnout at Saturday's Water Charges protest in Dublin. There were two main assembly points, Christchurch and Connolly station and both groups met up on O'Connell street outside the GPO where the speeches were given and crowd generally entertained with music at the start and end.
Estimates for the numbers are hard to come back as it seems RTE, the government and media like to play down the numbers while the estimate from Right2Water seemed a bit high but it was probably somewhere between 10,000 and 20,00 in Dublin. read full story / add a comment

The Right2Water campaign had called for a national demonstration on Sat Aug 31st and quite a lot of effort had gone into publishing this with tens of thousands of leaflets distributed throughout the country and buses laid on to many of the major towns.
There was a fair bit riding on this because figures show that significant percentage of households had still not paid and during the summer the government plans were upset when EuroStat came back and said Irish Water had to appear on the government accounts.
In the meantime government ministers have been claiming it would not be privatized but when pressed on whether this is rock solid, they turn out to be quite slippy on this. And there is reason for this because the TTIP treaty between the USA and EU currently being negotiated in secret is a corporate wishlist that will allow corporations to sue governments through the Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) which are corporate courts run by corporate lawyers and take precedence over national laws and there is no right of appeal. It will allow corporations to say that it is unfair competition to have things like our health, education and of course Irish Water in state hands and therefore it should be privatized. This is not some myth because the ISDS mechanism has already been used at least 500 times in other countries for basically lowering health standards and environmental protection. If TTIP is passed and so far Fine Gael have been in favour of it, including the ISDS, then they will say their hands are tied and they had to privatize Irish Water and of course every other thing. read full story / add a comment

There was a good turnout yesterday, Sat 21st in Dublin for the anti-water charges demonstration. The plan was for the various groups to assemble at Heuston Station, Connolly Station and Merrion Square and converge at O'Connell brigde which they did. There were groups from all over the country, from Navan to Clonakility to Galway to Dundalk as well as thousands of people from the various communities in the greater Dublin area. Thousands and thousands arrived with banners, flags and placards of all types adding a lot of colour to the demonstration clearly showing this movement is still very much alive and vibrant and gives us all hope and confidence that we can still win. read full story / add a comment

There was large turnout at Saturday's Water Charges protest which the government probably hoped would be smaller but what Saturday shows is that the campaign is very much still alive and there plans for a bigger national march in a few weeks time.
The protest was organised by each of the local campaigns and the plan was for each of the different groups to meet and converge in the centre of Dublin. Those from Dublin West met up at Hueston station marched down the quays to link up with people from Dublin at O'Connell bridge. Meanwhile people from North Dublin met at Connolly and also converged at O'Connell bridge. read full story / add a comment

During the month of 2014 the Israeli stated launched a murderous war against the people of Gaza. They relentlessly bombed the Gaza strip which is perhaps one of the most densely populated areas in the world. People had no where to go and escape.

The protest against Monsanto and GM food took place today setting off from the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square in Dublin. Initially numbers were slow to build but by the time it was ready to start a surprising number of people showed up for a campaign organised outside of any the existing Leftist parties or groups and it was great to see that it attracted and drew in a lot of new people who perhaps prefer to not get involved in more overtly political campaigns.
As the crowd set of down towards O'Connell street, there were at least 300 or 400 carrying a number of placards on theme of Monsanto and GM food and GMOs. read full story / add a comment

Christians, Government, and Politics ~ Pastor Bill Slabaugh
The presidential candidates are promising to "Make America Great Again." But no politician ever made America great nor can he or she make it great again. Likewise, a government cannot make a nation great. America's greatness can be traced solely to the work of God through His Church. And when we discover how, each one of us will also discover what our individual roles need to be if America is to be great again.

When one loses a loved one, it is always hard to withstand the pain and normally sorrow fills. But paying the last respect to that person during the funeral day is very important. It is therefore, good to ensure that you get the best Funeral Photography, which can actually fulfil your photography needs. From the time the body is released from the mortuary to the transportation and prayers at the actual burial scene, everything needs to be put in the gallery as perfectly as possible to ensure that there is no omission of anything. This requires experience because at times things are so difficult on the ground.
Tips for taking the best photos
Ensure you have the perfect cameras in place. Funeral photography is more complicated because people are confused trying to sort out the last things for that person. You need nice cameras where you can have photos from far without getting disturbed. High zooming capacity should be available without compromising on the quality of the photographs. When you know the weather is going to be bad, just ensure that you carry protective materials so that you can hide the cameras and take nice photos without ruining the camera.
You should know who and where to take the photos. It is not all people in a funeral who must be photographed. You should therefore ensure that you get the relatives, the sons and daughters and friends because those are the people who conduct the whole burial ceremony. Funeral photography would make no sense if the coffin is not pictured because people should remember everything. Before the burial ceremony, one should go to the relatives to discuss how the whole thing would be conducted for proper planning on how to take the photographs. This is the best way to ensure that everything falls in the line of excellence.
Ask for permission
Position yourself perfectly. It is about being quick; ask people quickly because this is the time that people can slap you if you bore them. Ensure that you stand at strategic position. This is the best way to ensure you take photos without having obstacles. To ensure that you are in the perfect position, ensure that moving of people is minimal. Avoid taking incomplete photos because that would express unprofessional to the people who hired you. Every photo should be special to ensure that people remember something unique when they look at it.
If you are a private photographer, then you need to be careful. Ask for permission from the owners of the function. Don't just crash into people's funeral and start taking photos; it could land you in deep problems. Once the whole process is over, compile all the photos in a sand disk or CD and present it to the owners. Do not photo shop or modernize anything because that would compromise the originality and uniqueness of the photos.

Last week we shared a turkey alphabet racing game that we did for a sponsored post with Alpha-Bits cereal.
We had so much fun with our Alpha-Bits, that we decided to use them for another simple alphabet turkey matching game (unsponsored... and equally as cool).
The activity is quick to put together and was enjoyed again and again as we added more stickers! It is also super easy to adapt for working on other skills like numbers and shapes.
Here's what we used...
- cardstock (brown and white)
- markers
- Melissa & Doug Alphabet stickers (and other favorite alphabet stickers from Target)
- scissors
- tape
- Alpha-Bits cereal (you could also use scrabble pieces, alphabet magnets, or Cheez-It Scrabble Jr Crackers)
Here's how we made our turkey...
We cut out a turkey body from brown paper and then drew a face & beak on it
Then we colored with markers all over a piece of cardstock and then cut it up to make feather.
Lastly we just taped the feathers onto the turkey's body and we were ready to start playing!
How to play the alphabet turkey matching game...
Grab some alphabet stickers and have your little one start covering the turkey with them!
I love using stickers because peeling them off is a great fine motor activity. It can also be stressful if stickers are too thin and rip. Although I'd love to avoid meltdowns during activities, I think they provide great opportunities to work on resiliency and dealing with unexpected things/disappointments! We use these moments to practice asking for help.
Once several stickers are on, then we choose a letter to look for and find an Alpha-Bit that matches on the of the stickers and we place it on top of the turkey.
Once we match one letter, we pick another, and match again and again until all of the stickers are covered with Alpha-Bits (or whatever else you choose)!
Then we eat them... and play again... or we add a few more stickers.

In its 30-year tenure, The Damaged Pies has accomplished an awful lot. The band, helmed by Steve Bodner, has traveled to perform at legendary venues like CBGB in New York City, The Cavern Club in Liverpool, Whiskey a Go Go in Los Angeles and even Wrigley Field. There's a Damaged Pies movie on YouTube titled Same Circus, Different Town, and Bodner is a member of The Recording Academy, serving as a district advocate for The Grammys.
It all started in a karaoke booth at Cedar Point, where Bodner and his friend got the performing bug. Their project went on to grow into a real band, one that has featured about 30 different members since its inception.
The current lineup of Damaged Pies features three female vocalists alongside the core instrumentation, something that Bodner is extremely excited about.
"I'm most excited to show off these four-part harmonies," says Bodner. "With this lineup, the songs sound exactly as they should."
From the early days of the band, Bodner and his bandmates have used music as a way to give back to the community. The band founded Pittsburgh Musicians for Hunger Relief and have actively worked with WhyHunger as part of its Artists Against Hunger & Poverty project since its inception.
"If we were just in it for the money, we would have quit 28 years ago," says Bodner. "It's certainly not for the money or the fame. It's for the self-expression."
And just as it has been since the beginning, The Damaged Pies will celebrate 30 years of being a band with a benefit for WhyHunger at which it will be selling hard copies of its single, "Same Circus Different Town." The copy features artwork by Bernie Taupin, Elton John's iconic longtime collaborator. The single intro was also written, produced and performed by David Hentschel, who engineered on Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and George Harrison's All Things Must Pass.
It's a pretty impressive feat to get in contact with either of those legends, but Bodner is not shy about pitching ideas to anyone, given his passion for the music and the causes it benefits.
"I really believe in what I'm doing," says Bodner. "Because everything we do is for WhyHunger, we're doing it for something bigger, something better than ourselves."
After this event, Bodner will start to plot The Damaged Pies' next move.
"I'll figure out the next ridiculous thing we can try doing, like calling up U2 and asking if we can open for them," laughs Bodner. "You never know!"
