Locative Media Revisited
Molly Dilworth, 547 West 27th Street (2009). From the series "Paintings for Satellites."
In the early 2000s, as location-aware devices first became commonplace, there was a lot of hype surrounding their potential creative use by artists. However, over time, this initial enthusiasm for "locative media"--projects that respond to data or communications technologies that refer to particular sites--leveled off, even dissipated. Regardless of this drought, geospatial technologies are widely used, and play an important and often unnoticed role in conditioning many aspects of our existence. Responding to this condition of ubiquity, artists have continued to use locative technologies critically, opening up closed systems, making their effects visible, and reconfiguring our relationship with such systems.

A kind of cold weather antipode of summer's "Love Parade," the Transmediale 2014 media arts festival was a beacon of light in the long dusk of a Berlin winter. As a twist on the usual curated exhibition, this year's festival opted for an ad-hoc "Art Hack Day" (AHD) approach, where submitting artists were expected to create new and original artworks in the span of two days (and nights). Opening the exhibition with a more down-to-earth feel, AHD ultimately resembled a DIY, garage-style party instead of a highbrow exhibition space.
Art In Your Pocket 3: Sensor Driven iPad and iPhone Art Apps
PXL, Rainer Kohlberger, 2012
As the iPhone just celebrated its fifth year on the market, artists have already made a substantial dent in the commercially lucrative world of Apple's AppStore. Despite this success, artists are still pushing forward to build apps that further integrate with the device's sensors and location-based capabilities. Rather than working solely within the context of software art as I have covered in two previous articles on the subject for Rhizome, there is a focus now on artists who are interacting with the physical world by using the device's internal sensors, location capabilities, constant Internet connectivity, and built-in cameras.
"Konfetti", Stephan Maximillian Huber, 2012
Using the camera as a sensor, "Konfetti" by German based designer Stephan Maximillian Huber visualizes the image of its subject into countless dots. In effect, the camera image is translated into virtual confetti that follows any movement and creates an ever changing images based on which camera is selected. The dot's movement is correlated to the detected flow captured by the camera and by repelling other dots, which also move as you touch and drag them. Huber explains over email how the app works as a reflection based art tool. "The app started as an iPad-only app, and on an iPad the app acts like a mirror, showing an abstract reflection of yourself. You'll get a clear image of yourself only when you concentrate on the process of the app, and don't move too fast. It's like contemplating about yourself and the image of yourself. And as your thoughts and emotions aren't static the image the app generates is dynamic and adapts to minimal movements and new ...
Art in Your Pocket 2
In the summer of 2009, I wrote an article here at Rhizome about the burgeoning activities of media artists creating new works or updating versions of their older interactive screen-based projects for Apple's iPhone and iTouch mobile devices. As the article made its way throughout the blogosphere, comments surfaced ranging from criticism of the "closed world of Apple's App Store and iPhone devices" to a championing of the availability of inexpensive multi-touch technology now available to artists who had been waiting for a platform that could adequately display and allow for the type of interaction their projects demanded. A year after the article came out, the draw of these devices and their potentially expansive audience has become even more irresistible to artists enough so that several more "apps" have surfaced. The following article catalogs several new iPhone works which have emerged over the past year, works that are pioneering the next generation of portable media art.

2009 was an important year for the Internet as a whole. The advent of web 2.0 and "crowdsourcing" initiatives has enabled a much richer array of content from users who might never have ventured onto the Internet in previous years. My top 10 sites for this year cover a wide range of topics from art made for mobile devices with iPhoneArt.org to evidence of both information saturation with Information Aesthetics and physical and pseudo intellectual abundance with This is Why You're Fat and There I Fixed It, to strange observances of mistakes in the public realm with Fail Blog. In addition to these crowdsourced content sites, I also see some ongoing potential with artist-created sites such as Brett Domino's lowtech approach to music making ...

There are some truly unexpected treasures in the BookPage vault. This week I stumbled across a special gem, our 1998 Meet the Author interview with modern artist, New Yorker cartoonist and Hunter S. Thompson collaborator, Ralph Steadman.
Highlights include:
Check it out:
Kelly Parsons is a board-certified urologist with degrees from UPenn, Stanford University and Johns Hopkins, and he takes all that surgeon's knowledge and puts it to better use (in my opinion, but I'm biased) with his debut medical thriller, Doing Harm.
We meet chief resident Steve Mitchell, a rising star with a bright surgical future who our reviewer calls "engagingly flawed." But then a patient dies of mysterious circumstances, and the killer starts toying with Steve, threatening his career, his marriage and even his life. And with an actual surgeon behind it, Doing Harm is the perfect blend of authentic hospital atmosphere and tense life-and-death moments.
To find out more about the high-stakes hospital world, we chatted with Kelly Parsons in a Q&A about patients, medical school and the fascinating character of Steve Mitchell—who we're reluctant to trust, or even like. And Parsons agrees:
"Readers shouldn't necessarily trust Steve. They certainly don't have to like him. But what I hope they do, on some level, is relate to his dilemma. I want readers to understand why he makes the choices he makes, however flawed those choices may be. The story is essentially about Steve's moral journey. With some help along the way, Steve finishes the book a much different individual than when he began it."
Read our full Q&A with Parsons.
Doing Harm is out today! Will you check it out?
Carla Buckley, author of Invisible and The Things That Keep Us Here, has returned with a thought-provoking new novel (out today!), The Deepest Secret. Eve Lattimore's utmost devotion to her family—and especially to her fragile son Tyler—is tested when she finds herself in the middle of a car accident that results in horrific consequences. The ripples from Eve's actions spread quickly, and the suspense builds in tandem, resulting in an unexpected, well-crafted climax.
Buckley kindly agreed to answer some questions about the book. Here's a preview from the Q&A:
Your stories often center on family conflicts and dynamics. What is it about this subject that interests you?
I guess the easy answer is that I came from a dysfunctional family and that I'm still working through the lessons of my childhood, but I've come to believe that we all come from dysfunction in one way or another! I think the reason I'm drawn to talk about family dynamics is because it's the universal language we all speak: We all have families and our roles within them shape us into the people we become. It seems a particularly fraught and vulnerable process. What if you make a mistake—can you ever undo the damage? What if you're faced with a terrible dilemma—will you make the right choice? Can you forgive yourself if you don't? I hope my readers recognize themselves in my characters and ask themselves what they would do if faced with the same issues. [continue reading this interview . . .]
For more on Buckley's inspiration for the book, over-protective mothers, happy endings and her next project, read the full interview here.
Unlikely sleuth David Loogan's back-story is revealed in Harry Dolan's new mystery, The Last Dead Girl—a tightly plotted and witty prelude to 2009's Bad Things Happen.
In a 7 questions interview with BookPage, Dolan chatted about the novel's setting, his favorite place to write, why everyone should read The Long Goodbye and more.
Read an excerpt from the first chapter of The Last Dead Girl below:
They left me there alone. Nothing in the room but a wooden table and two chairs with metal frames and padded seats. I sat in a chair, held my hands above the surface of the table. The right one trembled—faintly, but you could see it. I thought about what could be causing it: more than one thing, but I knew part of it was anger. I made a fist and the trembling stopped.
An hour passed. There was no clock, but they had let me keep my watch. They'd taken everything else—Swiss Army knife, keys, everything I had in my pockets.
I got up and circled the table under the hiss of fluorescent lights. Reached for the cut on my temple. Dried blood. I crossed to the door and tried the knob. Locked. I returned to my chair and picked it up. Thought about smashing something. Maybe the lights: they were glass, they would break. Then I could be angry in the dark. Childish.
I walked another circuit of the room, dragging the chair behind me this time. Slightly less childish. The metal legs made a satisfying screech against the floor. The door opened and a uniformed cop looked in at me and frowned. I put the chair back where it belonged and sat. The door closed. A few minutes later it opened again and a different cop came in, one I hadn't seen before. Dressed in a gray suit, with a detective's gold shield on a lanyard around his neck.
He sat down across from me.
"Why'd you kill the girl?" he said.
Read the full interview here. What do you think, readers? Are you a fan of the David Loogan series?
Jill Sorenson's Badlands is our January Top Pick in Romance! Single mother Penny Sandoval is doing all she can to stay cool and collected during her father's hectic presidential campaign, but things take a dark turn when Penny, her 5-year-old son, Cruz, and their bodyguard, Owen Jackson are abducted at a political event. After being taken to the middle of the California desert, Penny discovers that their ruthless captor is actually Owen's estranged older brother. Owen becomes determined to save Penny and Cruz, even if his family reputation has dashed his hopes for winning Penny's love.
We caught up with Jill Sorenson in a 7 questions interview and asked her what she loves most about Owen and Penny's relationship in Badlands:
One of my readers said this: "She was the 'gentle' he needed in his life; he was the strength she needed in hers." That quote sums it up pretty well! Another reader called Badlands a feminist book because of "its depiction of vulnerability and kindness as positive—yet threatened—aspects of masculinity." I love that Owen will kill for Penny and her son, but his physical strength doesn't make him cold or infallible.
Check out the full 7 questions interview with Jill Sorenson, where we she dishes about her recent travels, the sexiest scene in Badlands and more!
This month, Irish novelist Ken Bruen is back with Purgatory, a new novel in his uniquely written Jack Taylor series. Taylor, a former Galway cop with an impressive laundry list of vices, catches the attention of a serial killer known simply as "C 33." This new adversary poses a hefty challenge to Taylor's detective skills as well as his new found, fragile sobriety.
In a 7 questions interview with Bruen, we talked about classic noir films, classic albums and more.
Read an excerpt from Bruen's Purgatory below:
My name on a deep blue envelope, almost the color of a Guard's tunic. Inside
A photo of a young man, on a skateboard, high in the air, looking like an eagle against the sky. Then a piece from The Galway Advertiser which read
…verdict due on January 10th in vicious rape case. Tim Rourke, accused in the brutal rape and battery of two young girls, is due in court for the verdict. Controversy has surrounded the case since it was revealed the Guards had not followed procedure in obtaining the evidence.
There was more, about this being the latest high-profile case likely to be thrown out over some technicality. And still
The bankers
Continued to fuck us over every way they could.
A single piece of notepaper had this printed on it
"You want to take this one? Your turn, Jack.
Pamela Clare's Striking Distance is our Top Pick in Romance for November! The story involves a broadcast journalist, Laura, recovering in Denver after enduring 18 months as a terrorist hostage while on assignment in the Middle East, and Javier, one of the Navy Seals from the very team that rescued her. Our Romance columnist calls it "a steamy story filled with action, intriguing twists and an unexpected emotional wallop."
We caught up with Pamela Clare in a 7 questions interview and asked her what she loves about writing romance:
I really love the happy endings I get to create for my characters—something I wasn't able to do as an investigative journalist. I can start with problems that exist in the real world, truly terrible situations, and I can make them better by the end, ensuring that the hero and heroine get their reward and giving the villain what he or she deserves.
This fall's publishing season has a lot of abduction thrillers, an especially creepy trend considering the real-life stories of the three women in Ohio who were found this year after being held in captivity for a decade. One of the best of these abduction thrillers is Carla Norton's debut, The Edge of Normal, the story of a former kidnapping victim who uses her experience to help a fellow victim.
Norton is also the author of the true crime bestseller Perfect Victim: The True Story of the Girl in the Box, which details the true story of Colleen Stan, a 20-year-old girl who was kidnapped and tortured in captivity for seven years. Norton's true crime expertise and research into a real kidnapping situation set her apart from most other authors of abduction thrillers, so I hoped a Q&A with Norton would help illuminate the "why" of this trend.
Check out my Q&A with Norton, where we discussed the nature of evil, the process of writing true crime vs. fiction, the exploitation of victims and much more. Norton didn't hold back:
Do you look at the world any differently after writing these books?
I suppose writing about crime heightens your paranoia. And while some of my characters may not like certain legal institutions or members of law enforcement, I have tremendous respect [for] those who give up their time to do their civic duty and those who risk their lives in law enforcement. When a killer comes through your window, who do you call? Who is going to come to help? Seriously, those people face dangers we don't even want to see on the page.
Also, true confession: I keep a copy of Perfect Victim in my car. When I spot the occasional female hitchhiker, I offer a ride on the condition that she'll read the book, and then I lecture sternly about the perils of hitchhiking.
It's often said that a writer must have compassion toward all of their characters, but Duke is a villain of the vilest sort. How were you able to write about a person who will elicit absolutely no empathy from the reader?
This might be the biggest difference between writing fiction and nonfiction. I found Duke very entertaining, so maybe it's not a question so much of having "compassion" for your characters as it is enjoying some aspect of them. Hannibal Lector would have been repulsive in real life, but he's fascinating on the page.
While you wouldn't personally want to spend time with these people, you want to create fearsome villains to drive the story. Character is revealed through conflict, so you want to set your protagonist in opposition to a frightening antagonist—a David-and-Goliath-type dynamic—and that's what I was aiming for with Reeve and Duke.
Read more here. The Edge of Normal is out today! Will you check it out? Do you read abduction thrillers?
With nearly 50 books to her credit, best-selling author Jill Shalvis is back with Always on My Mind, the eighth in her popular Lucky Harbor series set on the picture-perfect coast of the Pacific Northwest. After dropping out of pastry school and getting the boot from a reality tv cooking competition, Leah returns home to Lucky Harbor with her tail between her legs to help out in her grandmother's bakery. While in town, Leah reconnects with her BFF—hunky firefighter Jack—and soon the kitchen isn't the only thing heating up. Firefighters? Baked goods? Sounds scrumptious!
In this charming, BookPage-exclusive video, Shalvis shares her inspiration for the book, why she loves setting her romances in small towns and her favorite writing spot.
What do you think, readers? Are you looking forward to getting wrapped up in Leah and Jack's story when Always on My Mind comes out later this month? In the meantime, find out more about Shalvis, the book and her other series on her website.
Last month, BookPage Managing Editor Trisha and I ventured down to nearby Atlanta to stop by the annual Romance Writers of America conference. It was my first RWA conference, and boy was it fun. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, positive and supportive.
But it wasn't just all fun and games. Before the glitzy glam of the parties, there was work to be done—though that "work" consisted of getting to chat with some of the hottest romance writers around, including Mary Jo Putney, Robyn Carr, Sarah MacLean, Elizabeth Hoyt and our very own romance columnist, Christie Ridgway. When they weren't giving or attending seminars or autographing books or catching up with each other, these gracious authors spent a few minutes chatting with us. We asked them all the same questions and then edited their responses into these five super snappy, entertaining videos. Enjoy!
What was the first romance you ever read?
What's special about romance readers?
What advice would you give an aspiring romance writer?
What is your favorite romance of all time?
And, finally, the most important, juiciest question of all:
Duke, vampire, Navy SEAL or cowboy?
We'd love to hear what your favorite romance novel is—and, of course, what type of romantic hero you fancy. Chime in below!

New Yorker combats rising 'sin taxes' by growing tobacco in her Brooklyn yard.
Sin taxes have always been a popular way to raise money.
They tend to adversely affect a relatively small group, which makes the legislators enacting the taxes, and the majority of folks who don't have to pay them, more comfortable.
They are usually presented as "it's for everyone's good" campaigns. The catastrophic results of the sin are emphasized and at least part of the new tax money is targeted to programs tied to the specific bad habit.
That's the case with cigarettes. When tobacco taxes are hiked, the health dangers to both smokers and breathing bystanders are regularly cited. And the tax money typically goes to fund some sort of health-related program.
In the short term, a tobacco tax hike can cause state revenue problems. The National Conference of State Legislatures says that such tax increases can result in stockpiling of cigarettes prior to the implementation of the tax, producing a temporary drop in sales immediately following the tax increase.
And at least one New York woman has gone beyond simply stockpiling cartons.
In Audrey Silk's backyard, along with the rose bushes, geraniums and impatiens, are 100 tobacco plants in gardening buckets. She dries the leaves in her Brooklyn home's basement.
Agency says it will file fewer liens and make it easier for businesses to pay on installment plans.
This article is by Stephen Ohlemacher of The Associated Press.
The Internal Revenue Service says it's trying to help people who are struggling to pay delinquent tax bills, so it's reducing the number of property liens and easing rules for small businesses to enter into installment agreements.
As the economy has soured, the agency has filed an increasing number of liens on property owned by delinquent taxpayers. The IRS filed nearly 1.1 million liens in the budget year that ended in September, compared with 426,000 in 2001.
The steps announced Thursday will double the amount of back taxes a person can owe before facing a possible lien. Previously, taxpayers who owed at least $5,000 and ignored numerous IRS notices would get an automatic lien placed on their property. Under the new policy, the threshold is increased to $10,000.
Credit Suisse employees indicted as part of U.S. crackdown on offshore banks that help Americans hide assets.
This article is by Matthew Barakat of The Associated Press.
Four bankers with Zurich-based Credit Suisse Group were indicted Wednesday on conspiracy charges, accused of helping U.S. taxpayers hide as much as $3 billion in assets from the IRS.
Arrest warrants have been issued for all four, who are believed to be in Switzerland: Marco Parenti Adami, Emanuel Agustoni, Michele Bergantino and Roger Schaerer. All are Swiss citizens except for Adami, who is Italian.
Prosecutors allege in the indictment that the conspiracy goes back as far as 1953. The indictment alleges that as of late 2008 Credit Suisse was maintaining thousands of secret accounts for U.S. customers with as much as $3 billion in assets.
Nebraska tops the list, with total taxes of 23.69%. Oregon has the lowest rate, 1.81%.
Just how much do we love our cellphones? So much so that, in most places across the United State, we're willing to put up with astronomical taxes to stay connected.
An analysis of cellphone taxes by the Tax Foundation finds that the levies on the devices are significantly higher than many other common consumer items.
And while we tend to complain about the IRS, in this case the tax damage is more local.
The average U.S. wireless customer pays taxes and fees of 16.26%, says the Tax Foundation, with state-local charges accounting for 11.21% of that overall amount.
If you add in local levies, the highest sales taxes are on Indian reservations. Arizona is home to 9 of the 25 localities with the highest sales tax rates.
This post is by William P. Barrett of Forbes.
President Obama's proposed budget calls for tax increases mainly on the well-to-do and rich. But many states are already raising the one big tax that falls disproportionately upon the poor.
In 2010 the average combined sales tax bite rose by a full percentage point, reaching 9.64% at the year end, according to an annual report from Vertex, which calculates sales taxes for Internet sellers. That's the highest rate since the Berwyn, Pa., firm started calculating the number in 1982 and the second year in a row that it has set a record.
The year-to-year change is noteworthy and real. But Vertex's stated average is a bit artificial and likely higher than what Americans pay on average. Vertex calculated separately the average sales tax levied by states, by counties, by municipalities and by special districts such as business improvement zones and Indian tribes, and added them together. Five states (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon) have no sales tax. Nor do a huge number of counties and cities. Most people aren't on a tribal reservation, either.
Still, there's no disputing that last year was a big one for sales tax hikes. Vertex tallied 542 new sales taxes or sales tax rate increases, compared with just 52 decreases. Since there is no federal sales tax, this clearly reflects mounting budget woes at the lower levels of government -- in states, counties and municipalities.

President wants to give agency more money for service, but don't expect that to be easy in this political climate.
President Obama released his fiscal year 2012 budget earlier this month.
For every president, the annual budget is like a kid's long Christmas wish list. It's what an Administration would like for Congress to OK.
And just like how Mom and Dad Santa picks and chooses which goodies actually show up under the tree, Congress has its say on every Commander in Chief's myriad budget requests.
One Representative immediately denounced any money to hire more IRS "goons."
But the annual fiscal exercise is how the system works (or doesn't, depending on your point of view). And it provides insight on what a president believes is important.
These credits and deductions may make organizing and filing your taxes less painful.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
Filing taxes isn't a lot of fun, but maybe if you find out that you've got some good deductions coming, it will be easier to start.
Let's start with this news story I recently shot that will provide some of the most important breaks you'll get this year. Then meet me on the other side for a condensed version of the nitty-gritty.
The agency began processing returns with Schedule A on Feb. 14, but is having trouble keeping up with the flood of electronic returns sent this week.
As planned, the IRS on Monday, Feb. 14, began accepting tax returns that had been delayed while the agency got its computer system up to speed with tax law changes enacted in December.
Now, however, the IRS is asking for one more favor from e-filers. Slow down!
The Council for Electronic Revenue Communication Advancement (CERCA), the association founded 15 years ago at IRS request to deal with the electronic filing of tax returns, says that although the IRS is now processing delayed returns -- primarily ones that include Schedule A itemized deductions -- there will be some continued delays in return and refund processing.
To help alleviate these continuing processing issues, the IRS would really, really appreciate it if "private sector transmitters of e-filed returns" (in plain English, that's tax preparers who've been holding onto the returns in anticipation of IRS filing acceptance) would stagger their submission of returns over the course of this week.

By Lindsey DiMattina, Hollywood.com Staff
In the past 12 months, we watched as Ryan Lochte took the London Summer Olympics by storm, epic Hollywood couple Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise called it quits, and President Barack Obama was elected for a second term. We were transfixed by the The Hunger Games long before it hit theaters in March, and women the world over were mesmerized by the BDSM sexual exploits of Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey. But what about next year? Will 2013 pack the same pop culture punch as 2012?
According to Psychic Medium Barb Powell, it will that is, if we don't all go down on Doomsday (Dec. 21). She predicts what's going to happen in the coming year, and boy, is it a doozy.
Psychic Predicts 2013:
1. Kate Middleton won't name her baby Diana.
""I know it's going to be a girl,"" Powell says. ""People think that they are going to name the baby Diana after [Prince William's] late mom. I just don't see that. I think they're going to include [Princess Diana] in some way, but I don't see [the baby] being named Diana.""
2. Who will win big at the Oscars?
""Best Picture, I'm leaning towards Argo,"" Powell says. ""Best Actor would be Daniel Day Lewis. Best Actress [will be] Jessica Chastain.""
3. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will break up for good.
""I know there's talk about marriage I just don't see it,"" Powell says. ""By the middle towards the end of 2013, that would be it between them. It would be done forever.""
4. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis will also split. ""I know that they've been seen around a lot and going hot and heavy, but I certainly don't believe that they are in for the long hall,"" Powell says. ""Mila is a distraction for him. I think she's on the rebound as well. As for Ashton, going into 2013, there's no balance in this guy's life. In 2013, he's likely to drop her. They are going to break up. And he's more inclined to embrace chaos in his life in 2013. His career will go along fine, but a lot partying, running around, chaos.""
5. Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes will still be going strong.
""They will get engaged in 2013,"" Powell says. ""I like their energy together. They're not hugely out there with their personal lives. And also, expect pregnancy with those two in 2013. [But] I don't see them completely walking down the aisle in 2013.""
6. Christina Aguilera will completely lose it.
""I see a huge decline in her emotional and mental state in 2013,"" Powell says. ""She's just going to fall completely, completely apart. She's kind of a mess right now. 2013 will just be a complete decline with her.""
7. Lindsay Lohan will do time.
""She will completely, almost disappear out of public eye towards the middle-end of 2013,"" Powell says. ""She's going to be made an example of. She's going to get locked up for a while.""
8. Martha Stewart will face a crisis.
""Shes going to have huge money problems,"" Powell says. ""She's going to try to disappear. But certainly in the next few years, I see her kind of turning everything around. I certainly think she can rebuild what she [will lose next year].""
9. The Dawson's Creek gang will get their reunion.
""Yes. Absolutely. For sure there's going to be a reunion with that,"" Powel says.
10. Will Taylor Swift ever find true love?
""I don't think she's going to find the love of her life,"" Powell says. ""She'll be tied to at least three people in 2013. She gets around. She can be a bit needy. It's going to be a long while before she ties the knot and settles down with anybody. [And] we can expect more songs from her.""
11. A vintage power couple will make a comeback.
""We are going to hear a lot about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner,"" Powell says. ""I keep feeling that Ben is going to be this huge guy in 2013. It almost reminds me of the next Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They are the next 'it' type of couple.""
13. And what of singing competition shows?""
The Voice is going to survive another round,"" Powell says. ""American Idol is certainly on its way out. It might be its last go. The X Factor is going to be coming back.""
14. Chris Brown and Rihanna will continue to make us want to vomit.
""I certainly see some back-and-forth with them,"" Powell says. ""But it's almost going to be a quick engagement. I wouldn't be surprised about a marriage, but it's not going to last. [Also, I see] a pregnancy. All in 2013.""
15. Will Revenge get good again?
""The way it feels, the next season for them, the writers are going to throw in even more ridiculous scenes,"" Powell says. ""I don't think it's going to come back in a flourish and fans aren't going to be all over it again. I don't see a huge comeback.""
16. Britney Spears will finally be back on track, and back on top.
""Britney Spears is on a huge comeback,"" Powell says. ""She's going to be making a lot more music. I don't see any breakdowns for her. She's going to come back with a flourish and take control of her life.""

At 2 you really start seeing your toddler's personality. They start revealing things they love and things they don't like. They tell you what they want to do and don't want to do. And best of all they love to help you do big people things.
We went over to my in-law's house yesterday and Papa Randy and Uncle Jason were building a bird house. Mia's cousin Gavin is 4 and he was supposed to help and he did a little, but he was scared of the saw so he came upstairs. Mia was curious about what was going on so Josh took her downstairs and she was all about helping.
Of course you can't work with wood without proper eye and ear protection. She had a great time handing Uncle Jason nails. He'd ask for three nails and she would count them out and hand them to him. It was so cute.
We love encouraging her to do things like this. Sometimes she gets in the way, but if you just direct her attention to something else she's usually pretty good. Like in this picture. By letting her "pound" the nails she was keeping busy and staying out of the way, but she thought she was helping and that's all that matters. She had a blast and she was a very good girl the whole time she was down in the workshop with the men.
Looks like we're going to have to get this girl a workbench :)

However, when several revealing costumes are unveiled, two women go into an emotional tailspin and have second thoughts about whether they should continue with the shoot. Lucy rushes to the aid of one of her struggling counterparts by offering to go "au natural." But at that evening's after party, one woman steals the spotlight when she has a meltdown over not getting one-on-one time with Juan Pablo and derails the night. Will Juan Pablo forgive this bachelorette and chalk up the outburst to nerves or will this be the end of the line for her? - on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, JANUARY 13 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
