While I am taking a bit of Sunday downtime from the movie project, I wanted to honor some of those who are following this blog regularly with a personal greeting.
To Mark at Lyndersay Digital — a seasoned Trinbagon photographer and journalist. Mind you, I also know Mark as a reluctant actor. Mark provided excellent production photography on Men of Gray II, Flight of the Ibis. And, as frequently happens on a low budget production, one often wears many hats; we convinced Mark to "go against type" and play the slovenly, apathetic officer who makes a couple of brief but memorable appearances in the movie — including taking a gut-punch by Joe Cameron (G. Anthony Joseph). You can follow his blog right here.
To Nancy in Glendale: I appreciate your visual sensibilities, and look forward to meeting you in person this week. Anybody need quality brand design or print or web graphics? See Nancy's work at Harasz Design.
To Lisa from Columbus, Ohio: What a joy to catch up on old times with you yesterday, and to meet your family. Best of luck to Matt in his ambitious and inspiring career efforts, and safe travels to you and David as you fly back home.
To Schy at Clapping Trees Media in Seattle, my favorite video editor: It was great visiting with you this past week while you were in town.
To David at Technology As Promised in Lincoln, Nebraska: thanks for "tapping in" to my blog from TAPUniversity, where project management professionals get their wings.
To Sheila in Kansas City: Best of luck to you in the launch of your post-graduate career efforts.
To Mitch in Topeka: Thanks for your encouragement. If you ever decide to quit representing the best of IT management in the country's heartland via UmmelGroup, I'm convinced you've got a future in comedy writing.
Charity Rone in Bolivar, MO: It's inpiring to hear that you're following your passion. I love that.

6 WELL-KNOWN SYMBOLS WHOSE MEANING WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT.We surround us daily with thousands of famous symbols without thinking about their origin. Some are well recognizable, others more anonymous. Commonly they have a thought, message they want to convey, perhaps a hazard. A great thing with symbols is that they are made to be as simple to understand as possible. Most often, regardless of language, culture and ethnic background.
The Bluetooth symbol is a bind-rune, which means that it is formed from two runes that are merged together. Runes are the ancient Norse letters that, according to mythology, Odin discovered and gave to gods and humans. Runes have been used for over thousand years (probably a lot longer). They were letters (used to spell things) and symbols (each symbol stood for a specific word or concept).
During the rule of King Harald Blåtand, a historical figure famous for uniting Danish tribes into a single kingdom. Harald was often called "Bluetooth". But why? Well, Harald was known for his love of blueberries, which left one of his teeth with a permanent blue tint.
Bluetooth technology was designed to unite multiple devices to a single network. The symbol representing this technology is a combination of Scandinavian runes: "Hagall" (or "Hagalaz") which is the analogue of the Latin "H," and "Bjarkan" — a rune that equals the Latin letter "B." These two runes form the initials of Harald Blåtand's name.
The "power" (or "power on") symbol can be found on practically any device, but few people know about its origins.
As far as the early 1940s, engineers used a binary system for representing specific switches. 1 meant on and 0 meant off. In the following decades, it transformed into a circle with a vertical line running through.
The peace symbol was invented in 1956, during the protests against nuclear weapons. The symbol was a combination of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D", meaning Nuclear Disarmament.
In the semaphore alphabet, the letter "N" is transmitted by holding two flags in an inverted "V," and the letter "D" is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down. When you superimpose these signs together, it forms the shape of the peace symbol.
We all associate the love heart with romantic love and affection, and whilst it is not confirmed, a theory suggests that its shape actually derives from silphium, a giant fennel, which was used as birth control by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
It has come to represent the atrocities of the Nazis in World War II, but its actual origins date back millennia. Deriving from the Sanskrit 'svastika', meaning good fortune' or 'well-being', it is believed first to have been used in Neolithic Eurasia to represent the movement of the sun through the sky. Even today a similar hooked cross is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Odinism and is commonly found on temples or houses in India or Indonesia.
The ampersand symbol, which we use for the symbol of "and" actually has a similar meaning. It represents the Latin conjunction "et" which equals the English word "and." Such ligature was first invented in Ancient Rome by Tiro, Cicero's personal secretary.
To speed up writing, Tiro invented (&) which became known as the "Tironian Notes." The actual word "ampersand" is a contraction of the phrase "And per se and". I bet you didn't know that!

The Department of Political Science and International Relations, Tuesday, May 20, 2014, hosted a round-table discussion on "Militancy and National Peace," with Professor Bonny Ibhawo of the Department of History and Centre for Peace Studies, as well as the Associate Dean, Graduate Studies and Research, Humanities, McMaster University Canada, leading the discussion.
The Vice-Chancellor of Covenant University, Professor Charles Korede Ayo appreciated Professor Ibahwo's visit to the university, and further explained that a forum like this was very vital for the exchange of ideas and thoughts towards societal and global development.
Relating the situation in Nigeria to Covenant University's vision of one-of-ten-in-ten, Professor Ayo said, "It is a vision that has clear objectives and goals, and will definitely not come to us on a platter of gold, so it is important we identify our areas of competence. That way, we can contribute our quota to providing solutions to national problems."
The Head, Department of Political Science and International Relations, as well as the Director of the Covenant University's International Office and Linkages, Dr. Sheriff Folarin, while presenting the background introduction for the special guest, and lead discussant for the forum, welcomed him formerly to the University and thanked him on behalf of the University management for being at the event.
Presenting the background for the topic of the discussion, Professor Ibhawo said, "I am pleased to be here with you today, having been to this Campus once and was thoroughly impressed, not just because of the architecture of the buildings, but the quality of the scholarship. So, I really see this as a blessing to have this opportunity to interact with you."
Professor Ibhawo observed, "Anyone going through the news in Nigeria lately will see that we have been bedeviled by insurgency, militancy and conflict. And in the academia, it is our responsibility to analyze the situation, and come up with policy guidelines that will help guide the country into a process of change. This is not just a military exercise as the Americans found out that all their might in Afghanistan and in the world would not reduce insurgency. We need a concerted approach; we need scholars to come together to reason through the process."
The discussants at the event were Professor Kunle Amuwo, Professor Kayode Soremekun, and Dr. Daniel Gberevbe.
Members of the University community attended the Round-table Discussion.
The first edition in the series of Departmental Round-table, also hosted by the Department of Political Science and International Relations of Covenant University, which held in 2011, featured a discussion on, "Insurgency In Northern Nigeria: Boko Haram," with Professor Kunle Amuwo from the Intervention Crisis Group (ICG), Darkar, Senegal, leading the Round-table.

The engine of the future is green, low-emissions, and sustainable. The same applies to mobility concepts just as it does to energy supply. Development is progressing in leaps and bounds. We are leading the pack and expanding into new areas of business to become a provider of fully integrated solutions. As part of this, we are looking for pioneers, contributors, and especially initiators to take on tasks in these areas:
Microgrids are smart, ultramodern alternatives when a stable and reliable power supply is required. An on-grid or off-grid solution, microgrids ensure supply, for example, for distant regions or for ongoing demand from commercial consumers, even during peak loads. Microgrids combine a number of different energy sources, including renewable ones. Intelligent controls guarantee the greatest possible security for supply, which can be delivered sustainably and inexpensively. With our compact propulsion systems and high-performance gas and diesel engines, we are securing ourselves key competitive advantages in this market of the future.
To develop this market further, we are seeking curious and goal-driven contributors who don't mind putting in a bit of elbow grease.
For example, they can be:
We are consistently transferring the experience we have gained from developing a hybrid powerpack for railcars to other fields of application, with a modular series system kit for mobile applications in marine, rail, and industrial being our goal. This will help us meet modern emissions requirements as well as customer demand for a supplier of integrated systems. Even today, we are already developing from being a highly competent engine supplier to an innovative, broad-based supplier of systems and solutions.
For this transformation process, we need enthusiastic, flexible, motivated employees, for example:
Our control board technologies are recognized around the world and used on civil as well as military ships. We are presently in challenging stages of development and consultation for a new generation of systems. In close partnership with discerning customers and application engineers, we will create an innovative, scalable automation system over the coming years to underscore our strong position in the marine market.
We are looking for experts for extremely diverse tasks requiring a high level of responsibility, including for:
We develop tailor-made electronics solutions for a broad range of applications. Our contribution can be found in the most varied of engines, coupled with the most varied of tasks: Highly intelligent systems that we conceive, program, and realize in close partnership with our stakeholders inside and outside electronics development. Depending on the focus, we integrate and carefully train new employees in specialist teams so that they can subsequently take on complete work packages independently.
At Rolls-Royce Power Systems we have the right job for you.

How to Grow Roses in North Texas
How to Grow Roses in North Texas. Growing roses is a time-honored tradition for most gardeners. But growing roses in North Texas can be tricky given its harsh summers and alkaline soil. Here are some basic steps to growing beautiful roses despite the unfavorable conditions in North Texas.
Select the Roses and Prepare the Soil
Select a location in your landscape for your roses. Roses require at least six to eight hours of sunlight, good drainage and adequate air circulation. They should be out of the path of prolonged harsh winds, though.
Choose the type of rose you want in your yard. You will need to base this decision on the type of maintenance required, preferred climate, disease resistance, fragrance, cut and color. Search the Internet or visit your local library or garden center to see what variety of roses are available in your area.
Prepare the soil in your yard or flower bed. North Texas soil is notorious for having poor drainage. You will need to raise the flower bed with some type of border, like railroad ties or metal edging. Fill the flower bed with a special prepared soil that includes 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 Back-to-Earth and 1/3 washed sand. This soil comes ready-made at local garden centers, or you can mix your own.
Roto-till the prepared soil at least 10 to 15 inches down into the flower bed. If you choose to plant your roses in the yard instead of a flower bed, you can roto-till this prepared soil mixture directly into the ground where you intend to plant the rose bush.
Plant your roses into the flower bed or yard, and apply a two-inch layer of mulch around the base of the rose bush. Recommended types include hardwood, pine bark, cedar or organic mulch.
Maintain the Roses
Water the roses once a week, approximately one to two inches deep. During periods of excessive temperatures, the roses may need to be watered twice a week. Water early in the morning, and avoid getting water on the foliage.
Fertilize the roses every three to four weeks, beginning in April and on through October. It is better to use a granule fertilizer that has trace elements of sulfur, iron, magnesium and calcium. These minerals help protect the roses from North Texas alkaline soil.
Watch for common diseases and insects that effect roses. Diseases typically include black spot, powdery mildew and rust. Insects that like roses are aphids, spider mites and thrips. Consult your local garden center if you think your roses may be suffering from disease or insect problems.
Prune summer flowering roses regularly throughout the summer to stimulate more buds. Rose bushes should be pruned back by 50 to 70 percent in February. Climbing roses should be pruned back by 50 percent while they are in bloom.
North Texas nursery and garden centers can provide valuable information in choosing roses, preparing the soil and maintenance.
Do not water just for the sake of watering. Check the soil to see if it is near dry. If it is still wet, you do not need to water. Overwatering causes many problems for roses.

Latest Data Shows States Adding Most Jobs This Year
In nearly half of states, job growth for 2013 has yet to top 1 percent. View a map with updated employment estimates.
A select few states registered noteworthy job growth over the first 10 months of this year as some sectors of the economy rebounded.
By and large, though, any employment growth states experienced in recent months has been meager.
The U.S. Labor Department published updated jobs data Friday with preliminary figures through October, showing only just over half of states (29) have recorded year-over-year employment growth considered to be statistically significant.
Last month, 15 states added a statistically-significant number of jobs, led by Florida (+44,600), California (+39,800) and North Carolina (+22,200). Three other states – Kentucky, Washington and South Dakota – had declines.
Governing compiled monthly employment data for each state, comparing December 2012 estimates to the most recent preliminary figures for October. In terms of raw totals, the following 10 states have seen payrolls expand the most this year:
- Texas: 208,000 (+1.9%)
- California: 181,500 (+1.2%)
- Florida: 166,800: (+2.2%)
- New York: 84,300 (+1%)
- Michigan: 72,600 (+1.8%)
- Georgia: 71,800 (+1.8%)
- North Carolina: 54,700 (+1.4%)
- Illinois: 52,900 (+0.9%)
- Washington: 51,000 (+1.8%)
- Massachusetts: 39,800 (+1.2%)
One would expect the most populous states to dominate the list, as is shown here.
By percentage change, though, only North Dakota, Florida and Idaho have experienced job growth exceeding 2 percent. In nearly half of states (23), job growth for 2013 has yet to top 1 percent.
The following map shows percentage change in total nonfarm employment since December 2012, with the best-performing states shaded in dark green. Click a state to display its employment estimates and current jobless rate.

text: Truman Capote who authored the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's loved the East End of Long Island. He loved it so much that in the early 60's he purchased not one, but three houses on adjoining lots in Sagaponack, one of which was the home of industrial designer George Nelson. From the three houses, he chose to live in that house that he bought from NYC antiques dealers Walter and Doris Dessauer, and this is the house which was featured in Architectural Digest of 1965, demonstrating taste for a rustic version of Pop. Now, the entire compound if offered for sale by its current owner, artist Ross Bleckner.

Even though temperatures have been heating up lately, there's no reason to put away your stockings! Philippe Matignon makes wonderful luxury Italian hosiery, and carries a range of products that will take you through the freezing cold winter straight into the heat of summer. Philippe Matignon's unique aesthetic and extensive collections offer the stylish woman a variety of feminine tights, sheers and opaques in a range of colors, textures and patterns. Silhouettes include basic tights, stay-ups, knee-highs, leggings and socks. The brand offers a Classic Collection of timeless styles which provide quality and luxury for any occasion, season or for everyday. While the Fashion Collections are renewed season by season and are distinguished by their range of textures, laces/embroideries and fine finishing touches- from light and fresh designs for Spring/Summer to more structured styles for Fall and Winter.
Philippe Matignon hosiery is a perfect example of the old adage "you get what you pay for." Their products range from $12 to $70 in price. But their legwear are all well worth the price. The parent company, Golden Lady, is a fully vertical operation. They produce over 1 million pairs of legwear per day. They start with the nylon fibers. The only raw material they purchase is Lycra. Each nylon thread is double or triple wrapped with Lycra, which helps the stockings and other legwear products to stay strong and avoid those nasty runs and snags that everyone hates. This is what sets the brand apart from its competition. In addition to their own brands, Golden Lady produces Private Label legwear for well-known brands such as DKNY, Calvin Klein, Hue and No Nonsense.
Golden Lady owns and operates the Golden Point chain of department stores in Europe (with over 500 doors.) Thus, the Philippe Matignon brand has been incredibly popular in Europe for years, but they just hit the US market last year. Since then, they've been spotted on the runway at New York Fashion Week and have become a favorite among US stylists and celebrities. The company also has an Intimate Apparel line which will be introduced to the US Market later this year.
In addition to their unique knitting and production processes, the company pays a lot of attention to detail in designing the luxurious Philippe Matignon products. If you have issues with thigh highs slipping down by the end of the day, try a pair of Philippe Matignon thigh high stockings. Their thigh highs have comfortable bands at the top that prevent slippage, yet keep you comfortable all day (avoiding the "pinch" that is so common among other brands.)
Philippe Matignon recently launched their Silhouette Collection- luxury shaping hosiery designed with Lycra Beauty brand spandex yarns. The Italian brand redesigned their already successful line of shaping hosiery to include the Lycra Beauty certification to meet the evolving needs of the modern consumer. Lycra Beauty fabrics are engineered to meet extremely demanding standards that create new solutions for shaping products that satisfy the expectations of this ever-evolving category.
Philippe Matignon's latest line of "Socquettes" is perfect for summer wear. This unique new line provides the sleek feel and look of stockings in a sock length that is perfect for warm weather. They come in a variety of bright colors to help spice up your closet, and look great with everything from open toed heels to flats.
Philippe Matignon legwear can be purchased online at Fresh Pair, Peek Brooklyn and Her Room, and at select boutiques such as The Pink Slip, as well as on the Philippe Matignon US website.

It doesn't hurt so much today. The new medicine helps. He closes his eyes and picture himself running on the football field. Dribbling, tackling, hearing the cheers of the fans, focusing and then shooting: Goal! He smiles with his eyes closed.
The door opens and dad comes in. He looks exciting, waiving with an envelope. He sits down on the edge of the bed and reads the letter to him. He feels the tight hug of his dad and hear his voice whispering in his ear: You got it son. The foundation granted you your wish. You are going to Wembley! A VIP dream day. You will meet the whole team. Arsenal.
His eyes wander off to the window again. He is trying to prevent the tears from running. He stretch out his finger and touch the sad face, slowly making the sad mouth into a smiling one. He is going to Wembley.
|Wembley - the home of Arsenal football club. Pic from: e-architect.co.uk
She had always said she wanted to go back, and here it was. The opportunity. She takes off her glasses and presses the palms of her hands on her eyes - to stop the flow of tears pouring down her wrinkled chins. Her birth city. Her beloved Warzaw which was bombed to ruins. Totally destroyed. Her home gone. Her town that was occupied and where the enemy had put up that awful camp. The camp which stole her loved ones. Killed them. Only she survived. But just like her dear phoenix city she rose from the ruins.
She had walked away and never looked back. But then the dream. The dream about seeing it again. Night after night, and at daytime too. Sitting by the kitchen window, looking outside and seeing only her: Warzawa. Her city. Her home. She wanted to go back didn't she?
Slowly she gets up and with the ticket in her hand she walks out in the garden. She sits down at the bench by the roses, and the bright sun feels warm on her face. The kids' laughter fade away. She smiles and closes her eyes.
|Facts: Warzaw, Poland was almost completely destroyed after the World War II. The city dates back to the 12th century, but the whole city was reconstructed after the war. You can find more info here.
Dreams.... - are they always where we expect them to be? A different take on my theme today, dear reader. I hope you came along and that you found my www: Window-Wembley-Warzaw enjoyable or interesting? What else is there to say but: Chase your dream and live today.
So, another AtoZ week is coming to an end, dear reader. This week we started off in Rosendal and then headed off to Sydney, Table Mountain (with a detour for those Indian mangoes), majestic Udaipur and then lovely Venice. On Monday we are traveling off again - the last 3 dream destinations are coming up. And this should be interesting, because X for x.....?
1-30 April I participate in the A to Z blogger challenge, and this post is written as a part of that challenge. Check out some amazing participating blogs here. My theme for the challenge is Dream Destinations. I hope you had fun coming along? Tomorrow Sunday we have a challenge-free day, but please stay tuned for a new destination on Monday.

The word sound healing in some ways feels limiting to what it actually is. There is a science of study that encompasses incredible information on what ancient people have always known. In the shamanic lineages i have been blessed to study with, you learn quickly that every sound has the ability to transform and move energy very effectively. Certain vibrations call certain spirits, certain energies and frequencies. Certain songs, are for love and healing, while others are for clearing and release.
I have been studying sound healing in its oldest form. My medicine apprenticeship has been a deep immersion in this ancient tool. And it is a modality that is re emerging as ancient wisdom births itself again on this planet.
Resonating with the metaphor of the hollow flute, being played by God herself. Sound healing in its essence is deeply rooted in shamanic principles and its ability to move people into altered states of consciousness with intention in order for healing and transformation to take place. It is a truly beautiful modality that can be embodied in so many different ways.
If you want to work with me in the realm of sound healing, i would love to work with you!
Sessions available
-One on One shamanic sound sessions
-Clearing Spaces, homes or office space
Womb and Breast Clearing for women.
Activating and Opening the channels
Available via Facilitation, Workshops, Retreats, Trainings and One on one sessions or skype.

The pines, hemlocks, rhododendrons, and even the birches were beautiful in their snowy garb.
We hiked a while, then built a campfire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. The picnic was a good time.
|Winter picnic
This recent outing reminded me of "memorable" times I've had on a few other winter outings (some purposeful, some not) that weren't "picnics". For instance, on the day I took this picture of a thermometer reading -44 F...
Forty-four degrees below zero is nasty cold and you can't just sit in your vehicle until help comes....not that far in the bush. We built a snow shelter. We cut firewood. We made a campfire. We melted snow and made Labrador Tea. We sat around the campfire drinking that tea. But we didn't have to use the snow shelter because someone actually came along and helped us with our vehicle. I don't have a picture of the snow shelter we built, but here is a picture of the "road"....with nothing but frozen lakes and trees for miles and miles.
|Snow shelter
Here's a photo (from that camping trip in northwestern Ontario) of the snowshoe trail as we are heading out across the frozen, wind-swept lake. It's easy to see in this photo, that it was cold and the temperatures were well below zero.

Champion Returns For Summer 2016 Operavision Academy!•December 6, 2015 • Comments Off on Champion Returns For Summer 2016 Operavision Academy!
Thrilled to announce that the amazing bel canto Champion Richard Bonynge, who so enchanted and inspired our wonderful Operavision Academy has graciously agreed to be with us for Summer 2016!!!
I am very sure he is so very busy and other programs are aching to have him, the word in Italy when he was with us was fantastic with everyone so thrilled and happy….but he has agreed and we are thrilled that he will be with us again.
Many more things to announce after the new year, but young singers, and singers of every age really anxious to see themselves in a different way? Stay tuned, many wonderful Masters will be joining us this year, and Operavision Academy's little elves are working around the Holiday season to see if we cannot have a few scholarships to offer as well. Our intent is to inspire…. and this year we have added a few amazing places of history….that will take your breath away….
Thank you Maestro Stupendo, we love and adore you and cannot wait to see and work with you again…..
A Summer of Discovery: The Voices of Operavision Academy and a promise to the future•October 18, 2015 • Comments Off on A Summer of Discovery: The Voices of Operavision Academy and a promise to the future
This entire summer proved to be a revelation.
Not always in the best terms, but for spirit, and guts and desire. These young people who worked so hard and endured one of the hottest summers on record in Italy with really no fans, or AC, showed themselves hungry to learn, eager to be better. Various levels of career…. but no one without that little nugget of gold. Everyone of them stepped up their game, and improved and entertained and made a great effect on themselves and those that were moved by them.
This is a little video I will expand on later…. it details the birth of the Academy, and the stories of just a handful of the incredible young voices we heard. It reveals the honor we enjoyed with the presence of a true bel canto legend and champion of wit and candor and wisdom….
Giovanni Eric Pasotto is a real find….here is a man who should be running an agency, as he has the vision, and the smarts to manage such detailed and dreamlike situations …. He had approached his dear friend, Mary-Lou with the idea to come with this inaugural program to the Centro Studi Italiani in Urbania, Italy.
The concept of doing one of these summer programs, which I always dreaded and avoided, was something unusual for me.
But when I took a look at the times we are in, how they keep saying opera doesn't attract the young, or it is dying.
Well, I don't think you need go further with that. There are thousands of young and not so young folks that want to make a difference in opera.
Where will they get the training? How do you feel safe to make mistakes and grow, and strive to be better….
Does anyone remind you of the levels that came before you? The singers that excelled, so you even KNOW their names, much less learn from their incredible journeys in music. Does anyone make you feel a part of the vast tradition and beauty and exalted thought that is opera? That they are whole styles missing today and treatments to the music that are glaringly NOT THERE. It does't sound in my discussions with younger artists that they get much exposure to the singers who came before them, much less the composers. They don't dress, they treat things causal like they have other day jobs. This is not to say everyone is this way, but where is the elegance, the good taste, the dignity. People sing everything the same, Puccini like Mozart, Verdi like Verismo, and bel canto? With very few exceptions we do not have it on display today.
So, count me in… more than I did before, I will help with all that I know and have. I join all those who are trying to stem the tide of indifference. We will all have to fight hard, audience and performer and it can of course be successful..every voyage starts with the first step….
So to avoid the usual program, I had the great good blessing of knowing a deeply amazing young man who came to opera and fell madly in love with it…. Mr. Luigi Caiola. I will never know how to thank him enough, for without him none of this could have been done, and done in the way I wanted it to be….
In short, to be a place where we start chipping away at the marble, to find the vocal Davids out there.
To put them in history, while. they are making their own.
To GIVE as well as take….
Take the abundance of three weeks in the most gorgeous, breathtaking country in the world… full of history and important milestone history
in opera and classical music that is being picked to pieces in front of our very eyes…..
The arts are under siege….
But also, GIVE…. in large donations for the three beautiful centers of music and history we chose….
Casa di Riposo per Musicisti… of Verdi in Milano, Villa Puccini at Torre del Lago with Simonetta Puccini's efforts to restore the Villa to full glory, and the hauntingly beautiful, Museo Tebaldi in Busseto.
You cannot believe how much it feels like Renata Tebaldi will walk in at any minute, how very beautifully they have done this tribute to her. Giovanna Colombo, with Marisa Pak, and with Renata's great protector and a true part of her heart, Tina Vigano' lovingly putting every piece in order and working tirelessly to keep this glorious voice and woman before the public and part of musical talk. She is very much there and I cried and cried at all the memories I could touch and feel and see again…. much more to come in the follow ups, but just these few thoughts….
To Carlo Menconi and the Amici della Lirica, Circolo Carrarese, for his incredible genius in helping to arrange two special concerts to help us raise funds to give to the three mighty centers of music we wanted to honor..He is also a Knight in shining armor of a man, and I adore and cherish his friendship always…..
And of course, my thanks, to Richard Bonynge for being a comrade in arms this summer and fighting the good battle for something he loves dearly. Music and the magic of the human voice.
Mary-Lou Vetere, you are an amazing woman, or many accomplishments, one after the other done to excellence. Your finest gift is your voice, and I am so thrilled to see you advance so beautifully and soon share with the world this special artistry….. and thank you for bringing this beautiful dream to me…. and for the fire that burns within you for the arts, it can truly light and warm the world……Brava….
So, let's start that army…. of soldiers for the Arts…. respect, reverence for the music and the words…. Let's go Olivia Pope on everyone and combine artists who will be gladiators for the arts, that will not back down, that are disciplined and ever vigilant to be of service to music and to keep this beautiful combination of emotion, and music and theater, and text and dance….EVERYTHING…..keep it alive….
More lovely things to announce shortly…. but take a moment and share with us the maiden voyage…. ups and downs, and joys and sorrows, and so much to look forward to.
Next year ? Oh you have no idea how fun this is going to be……
To HONOR and Celebrate Opera and its GREATS/ A Summer of Discovery!•June 9, 2015 • Comments Off on To HONOR and Celebrate Opera and its GREATS/ A Summer of Discovery!
A chance for this beautiful summer to unfold, with people from 16 to 65 showing their love for the world of opera, in concerts and immersion into the fabric of a society of beautiful people in a culture that breeds beauty and melody and is a place and country so full of opera history is boggles the mind.
I have to thank profoundly Carlo Menconi and the amazing champions of opera The Circolo Carrarese Amici della Lirici "A. Mercuriali" for the profound inspiration and priceless help and advice. They are a miraculous, intelligent amazing people and I thank them most profoundly, especially Carlo Menconi for his great heart, and knowledge and guidance.
How do I say thank you to a great man of family, and of society, and of theater. Thank you to Tony Award Winning Producer, Luigi Caiola, without whom, this Summer of LOVE for the Art of Opera and the Operavision Academy would never have been able to happen at the level we are able to present it to our beloved Italy….. Luigi, thank you, and your amazing family, but thank you…. from my heart and all our hearts. You know I love you…..
Here then,
Operavision Academy and its young artists make this pilgrimage to a place of so much history and are humbled to be even a small part of the spiritual and musical prism of genius melody, prodigious profound poetry and beauty that is Italy. Instead of just partaking the sights, and enjoying the food resplendant and unsurpassed, the wines kissed by Italian sunshine grown in a rich soil of centuries of care and love, and share this with the people so full of joy and passion, we wish also to leave a trace of our heart to remain always faithfully in Italy with our song and from our hearts, the sounds of our very souls.
Operavision Academy is giving several concerts featuring the young artists of this year's Academy, and also some of the wonderful Italian artists who serve music so fabulously here in Italy and make their nation proud…..There we are pleased and honored to be presenting formally donations to three of the most important and historic Foundations in Italy who are some of the beloved guardians of the memories and the works of some of the Sons and Daughters of Italy who gave so prodigiously their gifts to the world. May they NEVER be forgot, and thank you to these great and worthy Foundations.
A United family in service to Opera! One month and counting…..launching with hearts full and hopes high!!!!
The 12 of July In Carrara: To Honor an Angel in a Church! Renata Tebaldi•June 4, 2015 • Comments Off on The 12 of July In Carrara: To Honor an Angel in a Church! Renata Tebaldi
I am so pleased to announce, that with magnificent help from many dear friends, one giant of a man, we are able to present in the incredibly beautiful, awe inspiring IL Duomo di Carrara, a marvel of antiquity and artistic history and beauty, a special concert that will mark my return to Italy to sing with many wonderful artists, as an evening in a Church for one of our most beloved singing angels, the great, the unique the one the only…..Renata Tebaldi….
Much more to come, and information on the gracious artists who will be lending their gifts from God to pay homage to this great legendary voice, all to raise monies for the sparkling success that is the brand new Museo Tebaldi, curated with love and true adoration by the Comitato Tebaldi, tireless work by Giovanna Colombo and the shining presence of one of Renata's truest and biggest parts of her heart, Tina Vigano'. This Museo is to remember Renata, and in a small way as well, the history of melodrama as their are also rare examples of costumes and momentoes from some of the greats that served opera. During Milano's EXPO and in this fabulous week of the busy Weeks of Festival of Marmo in historic Carrara where so many geniuses went to their quarries to summon the magic from their pieces of marble, as Michelangelo said of his David, to "release him" from inside that giant piece of marble…. and so many artisans have honored the Duomo of Carrara…. by leaving examples and treasures of their work to adorn the church…. You are surrounded by art at every glance, and now joined to the art of the human voice, you will be bathed in beauty and some of God's greatest reminders…..Much more to share…but save the DATE and come celebrate with me as we open this Summer of Discovery with a gift of love and support and our voices raised in song for Renata Tebaldi. Stay tuned….. you will not want to miss this!
They seem to be saying….. stay tuned….. much more to come…..and Brava Renata…. so many to thank and so many to share with you all, but save the date, 12 of July….. in Carrara…..Il Duomo di Carrara….. come be with me!
Ladies and Gentlemen: We have lift-off!•January 28, 2015 • Comments Off on Ladies and Gentlemen: We have lift-off!
I am, along with Dr. Mary-Lou Vetere, thrilled beyond measure to announce the launch of an Italian Summer of Discovery! Operavision Academy – L'Accademia Millo-Vetere, in association with the historic Centro Studi Italiani, the wonderful Giovanni Pasotto and his amazing family and staff are offering this chance to be the change we wish to encourage in all those that serve music as a performing artist. I am proud beyond measure to welcome to the OV Family, the truly legendary, Maestro, voice pedagogue and music scholar, bel canto's mighty champion: Richard Bonynge. To have a an Italian genius, iconic director of film and opera in Franco Zeffirelli giving us the beginning of each week in fabulous little spoken films that anoint the focus of the weeks work. Very rare and very appreciated. So many wonderful guests, and the honored presence of the amazing Simonetta Puccini. A personal favorite of mine for her brilliant mind, passion for the Arts and her devotion to her family and their legacy. Fantastic treasure of Italy she is.
A Three Week intense immersion into all things operatic, a feast for the hungry singing soul to find substance, to allow the Operavision Academy and the amazing people assembled this year to help artists across the age spectrum to SEE themselves differently. Nourish the artist inside with information, tools to become free to risk, free to communicate, express. proper style and diction and the encouragement to be different, be individual, yet part of a great tradition. Be the canvas seen with the colors and the strokes of the master composer, as it is all in the text and the music. We have assembled a fabulous group of devoted music lovers who passionately believe in its power, how very much alive it is, and how that can be carried to the world in a message of renewed vigor and immense commitment through the artists we will meet.
As with everything in abundance, we offer the courses like "food for the soul", and we are acutely aware of the crisis in funds for all those who serve the arts, so we are determined to offer, one, two or three week courses as an option. Those participating in the entire "banquet" will of course see it all.
Please go on this website to the information links and avail yourself of the many pleasures and opportunities to learn and inspire yourself to greater heights. This is an incredible chance to be with us for our inaugural year. www.operavisionacademy.co for all the information and applications and important updates.
We are on Facebook, Twitter and many more places as the roll out continues. In the next few days, a few little films, and constant updates as this has fantastically caught fire in Italy, and around the world, and people are stepping forward to help in any way they can…. it has been amazing. A family of opera lovers imploring the artists to be the best they can be……. See you in Urbania…….!

Mill Creek Bank Owned Homes For Sale
Buying your first home or any type of property can be stressful, especially if it is your first time and you are unsure of what to do or of the steps in the process. Finding bank owned homes for sale is relatively easy to do, however, purchasing a bank owned home can be a bit more complex since this particular real estate transaction involves working with a bank as the "seller" rather than an individual. However, by working with a seasoned real estate agent and professional who has years of experience marketing and selling bank owned homes, you can ensure that your real estate transaction will go as smoothly as possible. Contact NewHouseMatch.com to work with a real estate agent and to learn more about Mill Creek bank owned homes for sale.
What is a Bank Owned Home?
Let's start with the basics. What is a bank owned home? Mill Creek bank owned homes for sale are properties that were once owned by another individual, however, he or she defaulted on mortgage payments, which forced the bank or lending institution to confiscate the asset as a result. Because the banks are essentially businesses, they want to make sales, too. Once the foreclosure process is official by the court, the property then goes back on the market for a new buyer to purchase. Sometimes bank owned properties are put up for sale at a lower price than what it was originally sold for. This is because the bank is eager to sell the properties to avoid having too many assets. Sometimes bank-owned homes are sold at auctions. Those who purchase properties at auction are mostly cash buyers who buy the property outright.

Every amateur photographer wants to take great photos of fireworks. The beautiful fireworks displays and photography just seem to go hand in hand. Photographing fireworks can be tricky. Using a digital camera to photograph fireworks makes the process even more difficult. But there are some photography tips that may help get that perfect fireworks photo on the Fourth of July or New Year's eve.
Get to the event plenty early. Scope out possible photography locations. Great shooting locations aren't necessarily right up front. Often this is the worst location. There will be lots of people. They will obstruct your view. They may knock over your equipment. Also, you will probably be blocking the views of other people. Also, be on the lookout for trees that may block your shots. Often, the best place is away from the crowd. The crowd could even serve as a foreground for your photos.
Try to incorporate some sort of landmark into your shots for more better fireworks photos. This adds perspective to the photo. Water in the foreground also creates interesting photo opportunities during fireworks displays. If an interesting building or crowd isn't available, try to at least frame your photo with a tree or use a silhouette of a person in the foreground or some similar photography technique.
Another location item to consider is the direction of the wind. Try to get upwind. Otherwise, a few minutes after the fireworks begin, the smoke will completely obscure your photo shoot.
Take a tripod. Make sure to set up your tripod in a level area. This is a necessity if you want a great fireworks photo. Your exposure will be much longer than normal photos, so this is an absolute. The camera will record any movement. The camera must be kept absolutely still during the whole exposure in order to get clear photo results.
Make sure your battery is charged. Take an extra battery just to be sure you will be able to photograph the entire fireworks show. Don't forget to take extra memory cards, too. You will be surprised how many photos you will take. Don't be caught during the fireworks finale unable to take any more photographs.
Use the highest resolution setting possible when shooting fireworks photos. If youave a RAW format option, use it. This will slow down your camera's speed. If this becomes too bothersome, go to the next resolution size. Set the focus to infinity if your camera has this option. Don't use the flash to photograph fireworks. Instead, set the color balance to 'Sunny' or something similar. Set the ISO setting to 100 or ISO 200 to avoid digital camera noise.
Concentrate most of your photography efforts on the start and ending of the fireworks show. This is because the very first fireworks have a better chance of being surprisingly clear due to the lack of smoke. And the end of the fireworks is always the best. The fireworks finale creates the opportunity to fill your camera viewfinder with multiple fireworks bursts of many colors. It's much easier to capture fireworks on camera during the finale than trying to time your photo shots perfectly during the rest of the fireworks show. Plus, this gives you time to enjoy some of the fireworks yourself.
Vertical photography shots work better with fireworks than horizontal ones. Vertical shots seem to add movement to the photos. Of course, a great panoramic photo opportunity shouldn't be ignored.
Follow these photography steps to produce clearer, brighter, more colorful photos of fireworks. But don't forget to also take time to enjoy the dazzling display for yourself.

Mohammed Nabbous 1983-2011
Today we received the news that Mohammed Nabbous, a citizen media activist and one of the great figures of the February 17th youth revolutionary movement, was killed by a Qadaffi sniper while covering the first hours of fighting in Benghazi. His death represents a terrible loss for the movement and for the future of Libya.
We met Nabbous briefly, soon after arriving in Benghazi. As a leader and a member of the Transitional National Council, he gathered a progressive group of activists around him and organized the institution known as the February 17th Revolution Youth Media Center. In that grimy warren of hallways and former interrogation cells, reclaimed from the regime and plastered floor to ceiling with graffiti slogans and cartoons, his name was intoned gravely, even reverently.
In the early days of the rebellion, when regime reprisals were still a possibility for dissenters and fear was widespread, Nabbous single-handedly built a megaphone to the outside world— part television studio, internet relay, and command and control center, streaming images from Benghazi's Tahrir Square 24 hours a day.
His bravery inspired others to work to give the revolution a voice, and they turned to him constantly for direction; his cell phone rang perpetually. One look could tell you he got very little sleep, if any, in the constant manic flurry of activity required to carry the revolution's message forward. Despite this he found the time to address our needs, and thank us with deep sincerity for coming to Libya.
He cut a striking figure, tall and suave with a British accent acquired at Oxford, where he studied engineering, and spoke with quickfire brilliance. His was a singular dedication to the revolution and a better future for his country, for which he gave his life, and we mourn him.

a camera is as powerful as a dictator.
Mohammed is a hero. I can't imagine any other cause most noble than giving your life for your people.
you were a hero we will never forget you. rest in peace, may Allah rest your soul ,,,الله يرحمك و يجعل الجنة مكانك و الله يا ولد بلادي دمك مش حي روح هباء
Such a cowardly act from such cowardly people, RIP Mo.
'Nuff said. Thanks Louis. RIP Mo.
May your soul walk the path or rightousness and your spirit walk with your people
I first heard Mo's report/appeal on youtube a few weeks ago and have followed him since. He was a good and freedom loving person from his reports (watched him reporting the fiery diesel fueltank last night). I am so sorry for his loss to his wife Perdita and unborn child also his loss to free libya. Alla/God be with you Mo. +martyrs+
RIP Mo. Your actions and words let the world know what was happening. You played a critical role in pushing the world to intervene. A man who truly deserves the tag "journalist".
Allahu Akbar.
I don't know what to say. It make me so sad.
My dear br.Mohamed we will never forget you, your soul with us forever
If Libya is to be free someday soon, they can thank this man. A true hero with nothing but a camera and a heart of gold.
ان شاءااله ربي يعلى نزلك و يجعلك من الشهداء الابرار .. ان لله و ان اليه راجعون
You were a great person and a great friend, I will miss you sooooo much <3
Was watching his channel last night. We mourn with you.
I've been warching Mo on the live stream around early Feb. He has been a big contributor for informing the rest of the world as well as Libyans (by passing government censorships) about the atrocities being carried out by Ghadafi and his thugs.
He died a hero and a martyr for his country and people. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.
Gadaffi made a big mistake, because now even more Libyans will be out there fighting after one of their favorite popular figures was murdered by a sniper.
Shaheed Inshallah. Everyone will miss you very much.
mo. you were the voice for ur country. you will never be forgotten. hope ur lol from heaven 2night. u died a couple of hrs too early to witness the no-fly zone.
may u rest in pax.
Mo, your heroic reporting of the revolution to the world will not be forgotten. I too watched and prayed for your safety. Your work has inspired thousands and may it continue to do so. May God bless you and your family and may all Libyans soon live in a free land.
This saddens me and inspires me.
REST IN PEACE BRAVE MOHAMMEND NABBOUS I always look forward to your Programm on the Internet and Iam so sad that you are not with us anymore to see LIBYA getting freed
We all miss you very deeply Mo. Rest in Peace Brother.
MO was one of those people who -if they live-become big forces for the good of their people, and if they die, become icons, revered and remembered.
He was a shiny star who shed light into the dark ugliness that the murderer Gaddafi represents, for all the world to see.
Gaddafi thought he could silence his voice of truth with a bullet to his head. He failed. Others are continuing what he started, with even more determination to keep exposing Gaddafi's lies and atrocities to the world.
MO's spirit lives, the heroism of an unarmed simple guy who was murdered at age 28 by Gaddafi.
NOT Mo…
I've been following his broadcasts with admiration. When my family and I heard of this tragic event, we cried for him and we never knew him.
You have not died in vain, brother. Libya will be free.
My human friend and brother,who gave hope to thousands…Your voice was heard loud and clear,you who inspired me to sit and re-tweet thousands of messages to the world in your darkest hour..Now your call has been answered..Soon your country will be free of the evil tyrant who has caused so much suffering to your people..
R.I.P Your memory like others will live forever in the hearts and minds of many.
I only recently found Mo's live stream. Watched him yesterday at a flaming oil well. Then later he showed the damage in a civilian neighborhood in Benghazi. I'm sad that I will not see more of his heroic videos. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
Rest in peace brave brother. You will be remembered, and you are the light in our dark way to freedom.
RIP Mo, LIP Libya ! You're contributions to a peaceful world will be honoured by human history !
شهيد انشأ الله.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم " ولا تحسين الذين قتلو في سبيل الله أمواتا بل أحياء عند ربهم يرزقون" صدق الله العظيم
الف من يتمنى الشهادة في سبيل الله و وطنه
كلنا فخورون بك يا محمد و اهلك اولهم
الى جنة الخولد
Another Qadaff's victim. Mohammed, or MO, as his friends called him. A great man and courageous citizen media activist. He died today, after I watched him live, and alive, showing to the world what a sick dictator is making against his own people. This guy is an example. I'm sincerely very very sad about his death. MO, thank you.
May his death not be in vain.
I found Mo's channel through a tweet. I never left for weeks. Mo's presentations would always start with "Ok guys, you have to see this." He called us "guys" in the most endearing manner. He shined a light where there was darkness and the whole world could see. I read somewhere that he said: What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. He remains in our hearts. From Colorado, USA
Its remind me on one Journalist in Croatia during a war for independent, Siniša Glavašević. He was killed by Serbs after a fall of town Vukovar. Today Croatia is the state and the Serbs are gone. Libya will be also have freedom, payed by blood of mostly young and brave Libyans. The freedom will come, but they victims we will not forget.
And we are mourning with Mo's Wife & love-ones. All actual impressions and feelings will stay engraved in our minds. Love and solidarity !
They say "Only the good die young and I think this is true. you were a good man and you`ll be missed very much by the people of Benghasi and all the tweeters all over the world. R.I.P. Mö
I watched Mo often on YouTube from afar as he reported on the struggle of the Libyan people… I wish my country would have helped sooner… Mo represented truth, honor and love of his country. May you rest in peace and may God bless you… Triumph for a free Libya is now soon at hand… Condolences to his family and friends… Mo was truly the spirit of Feb 17… Kevin in the USA
may your spirit be in peace now Thank you for the courage thank you for being a light in this darkness
As a first generation Libyan American, from an exiled dissident family, I am following the events in Libya with a mixture of hope, fear, anxiety, and shock. But with the murder of Mohomed, whom I followed from the first days of the revolution, I broke down in tears of grief for the first time, overcome with the personal loss of a loved one, the face of all who gave their lives so that I could go home again, inshAllah. I am forever indebted to you and all the heroes, Libyan and non-Libyan. Thank You.
We are,We will carry on the thunder of your cause for the freewill of your people,your family and your new born may you rest in peace my freind.
Our prayers go out to his family, friends and freedom fighters of Libya.
allah yarahamuk wa sabir ahlik.. narak allahu feek 3ala kul ma dirit.. shukran you will be sadly missed
My heart is so deepy broken to learn about this tragic news.
My condolences goes towards his family and friends in this very difficulr times.
May his voice be forever be remembered and heard for the generations to come, another Libyan hero was martyred today.
Hail to the heroes of Libya!
[…] 21:00 Confirman la muerte de Mohammed Nabbous […]
I'm just one of tens of thousands of people around the world who never met Mo except online. People ask "what is so special about Libya?". Libya had Mo and Mo's determination to connect with people and tell Libya's story (at least when the lash-up worked). Mo was special, tireless, principled, funny and far too brave. He would have gone on to make a great journalist and guardian of truth and freedom, and a loving father. But in just one month Mo already accomplished far more than most of us do in a lifetime. You did great, Mo. RIP
My Dear Brother Mohamed, I can't even express the way I feel right now, I have never cried in my life as I cried today, you were the hero for all of us, your courage set an example for the freedom lover.
Dear Mohamed you are in a better place and you will not loss the battle, Libya will be free and the tyrant Gadaffi will be in the history trash and your blood will go in vain.
my deepest sympathy and my heart goes out for your wife and your unborn child who will be proud of you. RIP.
Mustafa, Canada
J'aimais beaucoup Mo. J'avais du respect, de l'admiration et de l'amitié pour lui
I liked a lot Mo. I had respect, admiration and friendship for him
Vive le freedom fighters of libya.
God bless and protect them give them strenght, luck and wisdom.
and I am sure Mo will do a greater job now above in Heaven keeping totally and better control of all what happens now.
We support you all…
I got here via a link from the Guardian's live blog.
I'm rooting for the rebels who have just cause and are so very brave.
I am delighted that France, UK, the US have decided to use their militaries for apparently primarily moral reasons for once, though of course there are selfish factors at play too.
I hope such selfish factors aren't allowed to corrupt the present purpose of the of the support currently being provided.
I'm under no illusion that events will unfold in a simple fashion, that this armed intervention will kill or thwart only "the bad guys" and some pure democracy will then flower in Libya—that never happens anywhere or at any time, in any country.
Once the bullets and bombs stop flying I'm sure there will still be plenty of strife as Libya tries to remake itself—idealism and pragmatism and various agendas will perspectives will prevent a neat, Hollywood feel-good ending once the present military actions cease.
I wish you and all the Libyans who just want a more equitable society in which to like all the best, I also wish those Libyans who oppose you learn that many of them are actually victims too, and that the rebels can find it their hearts and minds to forgive them "for they know not what they do" (in the US their equivalent would be in my opinion, the average Republican).
I also fervently hope that none of the freedom fighters are killed or injured by the NATO military, but I fear that may well happen—precision ii entirely theoretical in combat as is clear from far too many events in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Good luck to you and to all. Imsh'alllah the common good will be served and interference from the type of self-serving oligarchic interests that plague us here in the US (and in Britain, and France) can be resisted in the aftermath of this present conflict, and that you can make your country a decent place for every Libyan.
Good luck.
En mon nom personnel et au nom de tous les citoyens du monde en ma qualité de responsable de l'agence mondialiste d'information et de presse ( @amip-cdp), je m'associe à la douleur du peuple libyen libre pour présenter mes condoléances à sa femme et à toute sa famille. Paix à Mohamed martyr du peuple libyen. Mort pour que son pays vive libre débarassé du dictateur Khadafi
May The Creator Join His family after a blessed life with him in the highest degrees of Heaven
يا أهل ليبيا أبطال الحرية كلكم في عيوننا عمر المختار، أنتم في قلوبنا، وحدتنا فوق الحدود المصطنعة، انتم الفائزون اما النصر أو الشهادة
(ولا تهنوا ولا تحزنوا وانتم الأعلون إن كنتم مؤمنين)(ولا تحسبنّ الذين قتلوا في سبيل الله أمواتا بل أحياء عند ربّهم يرزقون)(قال الذين يظنون أنهم ملاقوا الله كم من فئة قليلة غلبت فئة كثيرة بإذن الله والله مع الصابرين)
إنّا لله وإنّا إليه راجعون، عظّمّ الله أجركم
I loved when he said that he would post new videos and at the end, with his typical accent: "be aleeeerts" You, "guys", dont believe how I'm sad with his death. I found his channel unfortunately only on his latest day (03-19-2011), it was about 6.0 a.m in Brazil. I went out and later, on the same channel, I learnd that he had passed away.He was so young, seemed to be a so nice person, just trying to add something good to the world. It's unbelievable, how I identified me immediately with him, in the same level as I identified me with his cause some weeks ago. I said to me: I'd really like to be there, with this people, helping, making something. I'm sure as you all here on this page. I'm so sad, "guys", really. In a worrld with so many "bad guys", one good guy minus, it's a fucking shame. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, MO. And Libyan people, don't give up. We are with you, if not in person, as frankly I'd rather be, we are with you in good vibes, spreading your message. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND DONT BE CRUEL AS YOUR ENEMIES. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I think, that was Mo's message. PEACE OUT!
Yesterday I found him and watched his videos and listened to his words with rapt attention, admiration and awe. Yesterday we lost him. His wife Perditta and his yet to be born child lost him. The whole world lost him and a great loss it is. Yet, in spite of this loss, his legacy will always be with us. He is one of the true martyrs, as the Arabs say Shaheed Inshallah. Shukran Mohammed, you will be greatly missed. When Libya is free there will be a monument to you. You will not be forgotten.
الله يرحمك يااحميده والله ماشفتش حد دائما الضحكه ماتفارق وجهك
اكنت دائما تبهج الاولاد فى التزحلق وربى يصبر زوجتك وعائلة ننبوس
You were a great person and a great friend, I will miss you so much
Do you know that special someone
Muhammad was always surprised by children in the holidays
In the Hall of skating you always go I and my family
God have mercy on all of you know Benghazi
We will miss everyone loves Muhammad always will be with us
Je suivais hier matin le reportage qu'il effectuait dans Benghazi. J'ai été attristé en apprenant son décès. Il est mort en héros, pour la Liberté de son pays. Que dire de plus….Son travail était connu au-delà des frontières de Libye et il nous était devenu familier, un frère… Repose en paix Muhammad;

God Bless him May he rest in peace
Mohammad Nabbous, how we painfully miss you from the bottom of our hearts. You truly were a beacon of light and hope, exemplary bravery and immense courage and determination. I followed you from the moment i saw you on Al jazeera TV holding out signs with words on them for viewers to read due to a fuzzy sound in the early days of the revolution. I then found you on livestream via a link on Facebook and I've been hooked ever since. Youe work and fighting spirit and zest for freedom and peace will never be forgotten. You have truly empowered and inspired many and there is no way you or any other martyr's blood will be shed in vain. My deepest condolences go to your wife and family. I can't begin to imagine the emptiness they must be feeling during this sorrowful time as I have been crying and depply depressed since the moment i heard the tragic news yesterday afternoon. Alas, we cannot forget you're a martyr Mohammad and therefore you're spirit is alive with allah in a better place and inshalla you are looking down on us now and watching events unfold and inshalla you will also witness from above the ultimate event you spared your life to- the freedom of Libya! May your sweet and blessed soul rest in peace………
I have no words, only grief. My heart goes out to his country, his wife, his unborn child, the world, for the loss of this great soul. May he sit at his Creator's right hand.
Mohammad Nabbous is a true hero. My heart goes out to his wife and unborn child. May his soul rest in peace.
From the people of South Africa we say: Viva Libya, Viva!

Thank you
On one single day, friday Mar 19, as I followed the Libya Revolution on the internet, I discovered, watched and listened to this great young man as he followed his day's work. I was deeply impressed at his depth and soul and intelligence. And then he went out again, vanished and was gone. The Great never die….He remains an inspiration to mankind and I feel so thankful to have witnessed him that day. Those few hours will remain in my memory for a lifetime, as he will remain one of the greatest heroes of his time.
Don't have words. Still, like I didn't have words when I heard the terrible news thgis weekend. Like if I knew him my tears fell.
Natasha above me has taken the words out of my mouth with saying this:
He remains an inspiration to mankind and I feel so thankful to have witnessed him that day. Those few hours will remain in my memory for a lifetime, as he will remain one of the greatest heroes of his time.
Strength, faith and wisdom for his wife, family and friends.
I follow Mo's stream since he followed the situation in Benghaz with 9 live webcams, which was shortly after the beginning of the revolution. Again and again, the pictures tied me, and often the stream was running all day on my laptop.
I was shocked deeply when I heard the heartbreaking news about Mo's death directly from his wife Perditta and I had to cry immediately.
His courage, his determination, his truthfulness, to show the world the truth should be the driving force for this revolution to stop the misery very soon and leave Lbya peacefully.
My wishes and my condolences to his family, wife and unborn child comes from my deepest heart.
– Cherry, Germany –
The best I can do is donate and spread the work. So that's what I'll do. Mo is a hero!
Je présente toutes mes sincères condoléance à sa femme, je suis bien triste pour elle, heureusement qu'il y a des Héros comme lui dans ce genre de situation. Je vous souhaite à tous et à toutes beaucoup de courage, vous vaincrez. Marie

Finally got around to trying my hand at the current Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (it's a contest week!), MOJO89, but I got a small stamp camp project done (show that later). I can get a lot of "crafty" things done when my husband is out of town, but I stay up WAY too late! Oh well.
So I recently took advantage of the buy 3 get one free paper deal that SU! had last month and actually have some patterned paper on hand. So knowing that I was making a card for a birthday boy, I chose the Rainbow Sherbert DSP and pulled out an oldie, but goodie: Fishy Friends. I stamped him in Basic Black and then colored him with a blender pen and ink pads in colors from the Rainbow Sherbert collection. Knowing that it is a contest week at the Mojo Monday blog, I wanted to make my fishy a little extra special, so I cut extra fins for him and attached them so they are coming out of the paper (see the detail shot) and added some sparkle...fish sparkle right? I love how he is 3-dimensional!
My bigger challenge came for the embellishment aspect of the sketch. I don't have anything that goes with the fish, besides more fish, so I found this polka-dot circle in a Blooms and Stalks set by Sassafras Lass and thought that might work. I stamped it in Apricot Appeal (added stickles, of course), layered it on a circle of Gable Green and then on a larger circle of Green Galore. My final addition was to add the circle of triangle turquoise eyelets (way long ago retired from SU!), which made my day since I don't use them very often! Oh and the sentiment is from the Very Punny set that was an SAB set a couple years ago.
Most likely all of this was way over the top for a 5 year old, but his Mom will appreciate it! Thanks for stopping by my engineering world!
