From Homeless Shelter To Science Star!
Talent Finalist Is An Incredibly Amazing Kid, once was Homeless!
In March, Lane Gunderman, a senior at the University of Chicago Lab High School, will fly to Washington, D.C. to compete for one of the nation's most prestigious high school science awards. The 18-year-old is one of 40 finalists — out of more than 1,700 applicants — for the Intel Science Talent Search.
Such an achievement may not seem unusual for a student at an elite private school. But Gunderman's journey to reach this point has been anything but typical. Six years ago, he and his family were homeless and living in a crowded Chicago North Side shelter. Schoolwork, he says, is what helped him get by.
"There wasn't much to do at the shelter, and there was very little privacy", he said the other day. "I focused my attention on on schoolwork — especially since lights had to be out at 8 P.M. Through his tenacity in the classroom, Gunderman who now lives in an apartment with his mother and younger sister, has found a niche in the intellectual hive of the University of Chicago.
"Lane was brought into a completely different part of the city and culture; he started out a little introverted and shy," Lab School Assistant Principal Asra Ahmed said, "he's an incredibly amazing kid that's never asked for any special treatment — even when he should have. He rose to the challenge of this school and has done exceptionally well."
Gunderman said his family has been "poor or extremely poor" for his whole life. They always managed to scrape by, but in 2006, Gunderman, his parents and two siblings lost their apartment. Over the next several months, they stayed with a relative in a pop-up trailer and moved around the Chicago area.
When his parents divorced that same year, the bottom fell out. One night his father dropped the family at a police station and drove away. Gunderman and the others slept on a bench in the police station, later moving to a temporary overnight shelter. The family spent the next year or so in various homeless shelters. Previously home-schooled by their mother, Gunderman and his siblings enrolled in public school for the first time.
Gunderman gained the attention of teachers for his dedication to schoolwork. He received high grades and did well on tests, leading teachers to suggest he could make it to the U. of C. Lab School. Gunderman's application to Lab and back story stood out, Ahmed said. he was accepted and awarded a full scholarship from the Malone Foundation, a group that provides educational options for gifted children.
After a year of living in homeless shelters,, Gunderman and his family managed to stay in various apartments. And after 3-1/2 years at Lab School, Gunderman is thriving both academically and socially. He was accepted last year into the school's Summer Link Science Research Program, which helps place science-focused students in real lab settings. Gunderrman was able to work with Greg Engel, an associate professor of chemistry at the University of Chicago, in a lab where his Intel Science project was born.
Last summer Gunderman joined a working team of scientists and graduste students on a project that "explains how photosynthesis uses quantum physics," Engel said. After just a few weeks of working together, Engel said he realized Gunderman's immense potential in the field. "Lane jumped into a dfficult project in a complex system. It was great fun watching him tackle big questions in the field," Engel said. "He's so driven and talented, I think he's someone with potential to be a truly spectacular scientist."
Over the summer, Gunderman created a computer simulation of his project, along with an in-depth analysis of the work. That was submitted to Intel in November and this week he found out he was one of 40 finalists and could win up to $100,000. "It's the dream of a science teacher to see someone achieve what Lane has," said Lab School biology teacher Sharon Housinger, who had encouraged Gunderman to apply to the Summer Link Program.
Gunderman has big plans for his future. He has applied to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago and is also looking at schools like Harvard, Princeton and the California Institute of Technology. The trip to Washington, though will be his first time aboard an airplane. He admitted he's a little nervous about that. "It'll be an adventure to my next adventure," he said.
This article written by Chicago Tribune reporter Bridget Doyle appeared in the Tribune January 25.
Hope you were as inspired as I was when I first read Lane Gunderman's story. It truly shows what an individual can do when one has the right attitude and is willing to seek their next adventure. Perhaps your next adventure could be owning your own business.

15 Simple Rules For A Healthy Happy Life!
Suffering, he said, arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable.
Epictetus was his name. Born a slave in Rome in 55 AD and lived there until he was banished. He spent the remainder of his life in Greece where he taught philosophy as a way of life. Suffering, he said, arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable. He strongly believed that human beings have a duty to care for all fellow human beings. The person who follows his precepts will achieve happiness and peace of mind.
It is not known how he attained his freedom but he began teaching his philosophy and founded his own philosophy school in Rome until 93 AD when he and all philosophers living there at the time were banished.
Lame since childhood, he lived his life with few possessions and great simpilcity. For much of his life he lived alone but in old age he adopted a friends child who would otherwise have been left to die and raised him with the aid of a woman. Not much more is known about him other than his 15 RULES FOR A BALANCED LIFE. He died around 135 AD.
His philosophy became known as Stoicism. It is a philosophy grounded in accepting everyday reality. While some believe the term refers to numbness, his original followers known as Stoics sought to maintain a balance between life's highs and lows.
The philosophy of Epictetus is well known in the American military through the writings and example of James Stockdale an American fighter pilot who was shot down during the Vietnam War. In his book Courage Under Fire, Stockdale credits Epictetus with helping him endure seven and a half years in a North Vietnamese military prison—including torture—and four years in solitary confinement.
The philosophy of Epictetus plays a key role in Tom Wolfe's book A Man In Full. His philosophy is also mentioned in James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man; also in Franny & Zooey by J.D. Salinger and is referred to in Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie.
Psychologist Albert Ellis, the founder of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy credited Epictetus with providing a foundation for his system of psychotherapy and last but not least his philosophy is an influence on the acting method introduced by David Mamet.

Charles Dickens and his Secret Teenage Lover
Charles Dickens, one of the greats of english literature whose image was that of a pillar of Victorian morality would have been right at home with today's sex scandals.
In 1953, when future biographer Claire Tomalin was studying English literature at Cambridge, she came across intriguing refrences to a figure named Ellen "Nelly" Ternan, a young stage actress of minor reputation. In two separate distinguished biographies on Dickens both mentioned "this girl hanging about (the author), and they were both scathing about her," Tomalin recalls. "She was (described as) this mercenary, who made Dickens' kids unhappy, but to whom he seemed very attached. I sensed there was a story there.". Cut to three decades later, Tomalin, then literary editor of the Sunday Times, mentioned her interest in Ternan to David Parker, curator of the Dickens Museum in London. He encouraged her to write Ternan's biography.
Tomalin spent the next few years piecing together clues in letterrs, address books, diaries and photographs as she traced the arc of the secretive 13-year liaison between the great author and the actress. The result was her celebrated 1991 book, The Invisible Woman: The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens
Ternan met Dickens in 1857, when she, her mother and sisters were actors in a play he was producing. Dickens was 45; Trenan was 18. Anxious to preserve his image as a pillar of Victorian morality, Dickens purchased a house for her near London, where he visited her secretly. Dickens seemed both to revel in and regret the affair. Dickens and Ternan apparently destroyed all correspondence between them but Tomlin says, "there was plenty of material," including details about Ternan in missives by Dickens children: Both his son Henry and daughter Katey, for example, "confirmed that (the couple) had a child, and it died." Tomalin believes that Nelly and the child, said to be a boy who did not survive infancy, had been sequestered in France.
In 1876, six years after Dickens death, Ternan, then 37, married a clergyman 12 years her junior; they had two children, neither of whom learned of the relationship with Dickens until long after their mother's death.
Having been rescued from obscurity by Tomalin, Ternan is about to to take center stage a second time; Ralph Fiennes will direct and star in a film adaption of The Invisible Woman, with Felicity Jones in the title role, shooting is set to begin perhaps this Spring.

How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the OWS Protests
That's the headline to Matt Taibbi's article in the current issue of ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE. Last week's post was from a conservative columnist who writes for FORTUNE MAGAZINE. It's only fair for a progressive view–and there's few as good as Matt Taibbi. He alone is well worth subscribing to one of my favorite magazines ROLLING STONE. Herein are excerpts:
"I have a confession to make. At first I misunderstood Occupy Wall Street. The first few time I went down to Zuccotti Park, I came away with mixed feelings. I loved the energy and was amazed by the obvious organic appeal of the movement, the way it was growing on its own. But my initial impression was that it would not be taken very seriously by the Citibanks and Goldman Sachs of the world. You could put 50,000 angry protestors on Wall Street, 100,000 even, and Lloyd Blankfein is probably not going to break a sweat. He knows he's not going to wake up tomorrow and see Cornel West or Richard Trumka running the Federal Reserve. He knows modern finance is a giant mechanical parasite that only an expert surgeon can remove. Yell and scream all you want but he and his fellow Franksteins are the only ones who know how to turn the machine off.
That's what I was thinking during the first few weeks of the protests. But I'm beginning to see another angle. Occupy Wall Street was always about something much bigger than a movement against big banks and modern finance. It's about providing a forum for people to show how tired they are not just of Wall Street but EVERYTHING. This is a visceral, impassioned, deep-seated rejection of the entire direction of our society, a refusal to take even one more step forward into the shallow commercial abyss of phoniness, short-term calculation, withered idealism and intellectual bankruptcy that American mass society has become. If there is such a thing as going on strike from one's own culture, this is it. And by being so broad in scope and so elemental in its motivation, it's flown over the heads of many on both the right and the left.
The right-wing media wasted no time in cannon-blasting the movement with its usual idiotic clichés, casting Occupy Wall Street as a bunch of dirty hippies who should get a job and stop chewing up Mike Bloomberg's police overtime budget with their urban sleepovers. Just like they did a half-century ago, when the debate over the Vietnam War somehow stopped being about why we were brutally murdering millions of innocent Indochinese civilians and instead became a referendum on bralessness and long hair and flower-child rhetoric, the depraved flacks of the right-wing media have breezily blown off a generation of fraud and corruption and market-perverting bailouts, making the whole debate about the protestors themselves—their hygiene, their 'envy' of the rich, their 'hypocrisy'.
The protestors, chirped Supreme Reichskank Ann Coulter, 'needed three thing: showers, jobs and a point'. Her colleague Charles Krauthammer went so far as to label the protestors hypocrites for having iPhones. 'OWS', he said is Starbucks-sipping, Levi's- clad, iPhone clutching protestors (denouncing) corporate America even as they weep for Steve Jobs, corporate titan, billionaire eight times over'. Apparently because Goldman and Citibank are corporations, no protestors can ever consume a corporate product—not jeans, not cellphones and definitely not coffee'—if he also wants to complain about tax money going to pay off some billionaire banker's bets against his own crappy mortgages.
Meanwhile on the other side of the political spectrum, there were scads of progressive pundits like me who wrung our hands with worry that OWS was playing right into the hands of assholes like Krauthammer. DON'T GIVE THEM ANY AMMUNITION! we counseled. STAY ON MESSAGE! BE SPECIFIC!. We were all playing the Rorschach-test game with OWS trying to squint at it and see what we wanted to see in the movement. Viewed through the prism of our desire to make near-term, within the system changes, it was hard to see how skirmishing with cops in New York would help foreclosed-upon middle-class families in Jacksonville and San Diego.
What both sides missed is that OWS is tired of all this. They don't care what we think they're about, or should be about. They just want something different.
We're all born wanting the freedom to imagine a better and more beautiful future. But modern America has become a place so drearily confining and predictable that it chokes the life out of that built-in desire. Everything from our pop culture to our economy to our politics feels oppressive and unresponsive. People want to go someplace for at least five minutes where no one is trying to bleed you or sell you something.
I think I understand now that that's what the Occupy movement is all about. It's about dropping out if only for a moment, and trying something new. It doesn't need to tell the world what it wants. It is successful for now, just by being something different."
These are only excerpts from Matt's excellent article in the November 22nd issue of ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE. To read it in its entirety, pickup a copy or better yet become a subscriber. I've been hooked on their political reporting for 25 years and with age, year after year, it only gets better.

We work with neighbors and other landlords in the area to maintain the quality of the neighborhood. We make sure that people do not use rental units for illegal activity. To that end, we have a thorough screening process. If you meet the criteria and are accepted, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that other renters in this area are being screened with equal care and, as a result, there may be a reduced risk of illegal activity occurring in the area. Please review our list of criteria and if you meet the criteria, please apply. Please note that we provide equal housing opportunity; we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, national origin, or familial status.
A complete application is required for each adult 18 years of age or older. If a line is not filled in, and the omission is not explained satisfactorily, we will not accept the application.
Each applicant must provide a photo ID (driver's license or other government issued photo identification) prior to move-in. Failure to do so is grounds for rejection.
Your rental history must be verified by unbiased sources. If you are related by blood or marriage to one of the previous landlords listed above, or your rental history does not include at least two previous landlords, we will require a qualified cosigner on your rental agreement (qualified cosigners must meet all applicant screening criteria) and/or a security deposit equal to one month's rent. It is your responsibility to provide us with the information necessary to contact your past landlords. We reserve the right to deny your application if, after making a good faith error, we are unable to verify your rental history. If you owned—rather than rented—your previous home, you must furnish mortgage company references and proof of title ownership or transfer.
You must have sufficient income/resources. If the combination of your monthly personal debt, utility costs, and rent payments will exceed 33% of your monthly income before taxes, we will require a qualified cosigner on your rental agreement. If the combination exceeds 40% of your monthly income, your application will be denied.
We must be able to verify independently the amount and stability of your income through sources such as pay stubs, employer/source contacts, or tax records. If you are self-employed, you will be required to submit a business license, tax records, bank records, or a list of client references.
Section 8 applicants must allow information access and sign a consent form allowing the local public housing agency to verify information regarding their rental history.
False information is grounds for denial. Your application will be denied if you misrepresent any information on the application. If misrepresentations are found after a rental agreement is signed, your rental agreement will be terminated immediately.
Criminal convictions for certain types of crimes will result in denial of your application. Your application may be denied if you have been convicted of any type of crime [including the manufacture or distribution of controlled substances] that would be considered a serious threat to real property or to other residents' peaceful enjoyment. Additional Information available in CORI policy.
Certain court judgments against you may result in denial of your application. If in the past 7 years, you have been through a court-ordered eviction or had any judgment against you for financial delinquency, your application will be denied. This restriction may be waived if there has not been more than one such incident, the circumstances can be justified, and you provide a qualified cosigner on your rental agreement.
A poor credit record (overdue accounts) may result in denial of your application. Credit records showing occasional payments within 30 days past due will be acceptable, provided you can justify the circumstances. Records showing payments after 90 days are not acceptable.
Poor references from previous landlords may result in denial of your application. You will be turned own if previous landlords report significant complaints such as repeated disturbance of the neighbors' peace, reports of prostitution, drug dealing, or drug manufacturing, damage to the property beyond normal wear and tear, reports of violence or threats to landlords or neighbors, allowing persons not on the lease to reside on the premises, and failure to give proper notice when vacating the property. Also, you will be turned down if a previous landlord would be disinclined to rent to you again for any reason pertaining to lease violations by you, your pets, or others allowed on the property during your tenancy.
We will accept the first qualified applicant.
If your application is accepted, you will be required to sign a rental agreement in which you will agree to abide by the rules of the rental unit or complex. A complete copy of our rental agreement is available for anyone who would like to review it. In addition to the other important requirements, please note that your rental agreement will:
This policy is applicable to the criminal history screening of prospective and current employees, subcontractors, volunteers and interns, professional licensing applicants, and applicants for the rental or leasing of housing.
Where Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) and other criminal history checks may be part of a general background check for employment, volunteer work, licensing purposes, or the rental or leasing of housing, the following practices and procedures will be followed.
CORI – Criminal Offender Record Index
DCJIS – Department of Criminal Justice Information Systems
MGL – Massachusetts General Laws
CORI checks will only be conducted as authorized by the DCJIS and MGL c. 6, §. 172, and only after a CORI Acknowledgement Form has been completed.
Except for screening for the rental or leasing of housing, if a new CORI check is to be made on a subject within a year of his/her signing of the CORI Acknowledgement Form, the subject shall be given seventy-two (72) hours' notice that a new CORI check will be conducted.
If a requester is screening for the rental or leasing of housing, a CORI Acknowledgement Form shall be completed for each and every subsequent CORI check.
All CORI obtained from the DCJIS is confidential, and access to the information must be limited to those individuals who have a "need to know". This may include, but not be limited to, hiring managers, staff submitting the CORI requests, and staff charged with processing job applications. APT Property Services must maintain and keep a current list of each individual authorized to have access to, or view, CORI. This list must be updated every six (6) months and is subject to inspection upon request by the DCJIS at any time.
An informed review of a criminal record requires training. Accordingly, all personnel authorized to review or access CORI at APT Property Services will review, and will be thoroughly familiar with, the educational and relevant training materials regarding CORI laws and regulations made available by the DCJIS.
Additionally, if APT Property Services is an agency required by MGL c. 6, s. 171A, to maintain a CORI Policy, all personnel authorized to conduct criminal history background checks and/or to review CORI information will review, and will be thoroughly familiar with, the educational and relevant training materials regarding CORI laws and regulations made available by the DCJIS.
CORI used for employment purposes shall only be accessed for applicants who are otherwise qualified for the position for which they have applied.
Unless otherwise provided by law, a criminal record will not automatically disqualify an applicant. Rather, determinations of suitability based on background checks will be made consistent with this policy and any applicable law or regulations.
If a criminal record is received from the DCJIS, the information is to be closely compared with the information on the CORI Acknowledgement Form and any other identifying information provided by the applicant to ensure the record belongs to the applicant.
If the information in the CORI record provided does not exactly match the identification information provided by the applicant, a determination is to be made by an individual authorized to make such determinations based on a comparison of the CORI record and documents provided by the applicant.
In connection with any decision regarding employment, volunteer opportunities, housing, or professional licensing, the subject shall be provided with a copy of the criminal history record, whether obtained from the DCJIS or from any other source, prior to questioning the subject about his or her criminal history. The source(s) of the criminal history record is also to be disclosed to the subject.
If a determination is made, based on the information as provided in section V of this policy, that the criminal record belongs to the subject, and the subject does not dispute the record's accuracy, then the determination of suitability for the position or license will be made. Unless otherwise provided by law, factors considered in determining suitability may include, but not be limited to, the following:
If an authorized official is inclined to make an adverse decision based on the results of a criminal history background check, the applicant will be notified immediately. The subject shall be provided with a copy of the organization's CORI policy and a copy of the criminal history. The source(s) of the criminal history will also be revealed. The subject will then be provided with an opportunity to dispute the accuracy of the CORI record. Subjects shall also be provided a copy of DCJIS' Information Concerning the Process for Correcting a Criminal Record.
All CORI obtained from the DCJIS is confidential and can only be disseminated as authorized by law and regulation. A central secondary dissemination log shall be used to record any dissemination of CORI outside this organization, including dissemination at the request of the subject.

Sneakers worn by Michael Jordan fetch a record KSh20m
A pair of sports shoes worn by Michael Jordan during the basketball finals at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics sold Sunday for KSh19.64 million ($190,372) in an online auction, the auction house announced.
Wearing the white-and-blue Converse brand shoes, Jordan – then still an amateur – scored 20 points in a match against Spain on August 10, 1984 that ended up as a 96-65 walloping.
Jordan was playing for the last all-amateur US Olympic team, one which, under fiery coach Bobby Knight, won the eight matches it played by an average of 30 points.
After the game against Spain Jordan gave the shoes – each of them autographed – to an 11-year-old ball boy, according to the SCP Auctions house, which organized the sale.
It described the size 13 canvas-and-leather shoes as being "well-preserved," including even Jordan's "very own navy blue orthotic inserts" and showing "signs of game use" including "proper heel drag."
They were the last non-Nike shoes Jordan was ever seen wearing, SCP said. He was said to prefer Adidas shoes before signing a $500,000 deal with Nike after the Olympics in 1984; his brand now generates $2.5 billion in yearly sales for Nike, according to ESPN.
Also Read:
Sunday's buyer was not immediately identified. The online auction began on May 24.
The sales price is believed to be the highest ever for a pair of shoes worn during a game or match, breaking the record for another pair worn by Jordan – during the 1997 National Basketball League finals – sold in 2013 for $104,765.
But the record for shoes worn by any athlete remains with a black-leather pair worn by British miler Roger Bannister when he broke the four-minute barrier in 1954.
Those shoes were sold for 266,500 pounds in September 2015 – about $409,000 at the exchange rate at the time.
And the record for any shoes – sporting or otherwise – is still held by the iconic ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 blockbuster film "The Wizard of Oz."
The dainty slippers, made of red satin and covered in red sequins, sold in 2000 in an auction organized by Christie's for $660,000.
Three other pairs made for the movie have survived; one pair is in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, in Washington.

So I finally got my hands on one of those brushes that heats up so you can comb it through your hair and straighten it at the same time.
I got the Chi Ellipse Titanium Hot Styling Brush. It's hot an oval head that heats up all the way around so that you can wrap your hair around the brush and curl it that way if you want. The display is digital, telling you exactly hot hot the brush is before you start using it.
The brush heats up in a minute or two, which is pretty quick. I plug it in, get dressed, and by the time I'm done, the brush is heated. It stays hot as I use it, and it really works. It gets all the tangles out as it straightens and unlike a traditional straightener, this doesn't flatten my hair too much, but still straightens it. It's kind of like using a hair dryer but easier to use. If you have pretty straight hair that's not too curly, then you'll love this. If your hair is really curly, then you might want to go over with it with a regular straightener afterwards.
You can get it online for about $110.

How to Enroll to a Good Online School
There are many online education programs available nowadays. However, not all the programs you see online are worth enrolling to. Although it isn't easy to select the best school, it is worth the effort. With the steps mentioned here, you will easily narrow down to a couple of online schools that do offer the best programs that you can choose from.
Having in mind what you would like to accomplish in an online school should be the first thing on your mind before enrolling. Do you need a degree or certificate? Whether you want to advance you career, be ready to jump at an opportunity when it arises, or to gain knowledge, have a reason clearly in mind before signing up for an online school. Defining your goals is the best way to start your search for an online school that meets your requirements.
There are many reports both online and offline that list the best online schools. These reports even provide rankings and an insight of what to expect when you enroll for that particular school. Using these lists and with your requirements in mind, you can easily create a shortlist of the best schools. Consider factors that could make you sign up for a school and those that put you off and use them to come up with your shortlist.
Schools Tips for The Average Joe
Certainly, you wouldn't want to spend your time enrolled in a certain school only to learn that it isn't accredited. Accreditation should never be ignored since it plays a major role in showing whether a given school provides quality education. For a program to be accredited, it must have met the requirements set by the education body. You should always select an accredited institution no matter the circumstance. Before you sign up to an online school, make sure you know its accreditation status.
News For This Month: Classes
Get to know the details about the school and the programs they offer. While this may be listed, you may have additional questions that need to be answered by the management. The school's website definitely has contact information that can be used for this purpose. Ask them what makes to school better, among other things such as tuition fees, requirements for admission, and graduation. If you are in doubt of anything else, always be free to ask.
Before submitting an application, review the admission details of the school you are to join. Applying for a course that your qualifications don't meet should be avoided since it is a complete waste of time. The degrees and certificate you get for these programs too should be recognized by the governing body. The above tips will come in handy when you are looking to enroll in an online school.

The most complete and comprehensive collection of Presley's final studio recordings ever assembled in one anthology. Way Down In The Jungle Room is an essential and welcome addition for every fan's library. In the mid-1970s, Elvis, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, became another kind of pioneer as one of the world's first major recording artists to create fully-realized professional level records in the intimacy of his own home studio. With original recordings executive-produced by Elvis Presley with producer Felton Jarvis (who'd helmed most of Elvis' records from 1966-1977), Way Down In The Jungle Room brings together, for the first time in one collection, master recordings and rare outtakes laid down during two mythic sessions (February 2-8, 1976 and October 28-30, 1976) in Graceland's den--known as the "Jungle Room"--which was converted into a professional caliber recording studio for the purpose of capturing these indelible performances. The outtakes have been newly mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Matt Ross-Spang at Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, Tennessee. For these sessions, Elvis was backed by many members of his longtime touring band including: James Burton (guitar), Ronnie Tutt (drums), David Briggs (keyboards), Glenn D. Hardin (keyboards), Jerry Scheff (bass), Norbert Putnam (bass) and J.D. Sumner & the Stamps (vocals). In 1976, when the tracks for Way Down In The Jungle Room were cut, Elvis Presley had been an RCA Records recording artist for 20 years, inventing the sound and attitude that defined the very essence of rock 'n' roll. That same year, RCA released The Sun Sessions, the label's first official collection of the electrifying 1954-1955 Elvis recordings that launched his career while transforming the world. Having entered his 40s, Elvis Presley was evolving as an artist and, rather than bask in the nostalgia of his 1950s watershed recordings, was looking for new ways to express himself musically. Needing to create new sounds for a new era, Elvis Presley--who'd been charting on Country and Adult Contemporary stations-- decided to convert the Hawaiian-themed "Jungle Room" (a relaxation den in his fabled Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee) into an informal home studio, where he could lay down tracks the way he wanted, outside the budget and scheduling pressures of the professional studios he'd worked in previously. With the help of RCA's mobile recording truck and longtime producer Felton Jarvis and engineer Mike Moran at the board, Elvis tackled a far-ranging mix of country and pop covers ("Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," "Danny Boy," "Solitaire") and late-period classics of his catalog, such as "Moody Blue" and "Way Down." Ten of the "Jungle Room" master takes first emerged on From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis Tennessee in the spring of 1976, including the Top 10 hit "Hurt." More tracks from these sessions were later paired with live material and released in July 1977 (a month before Elvis' death on August 16) on the Moody Blue album. The title track would top the country charts that month; "Way Down" would follow. These were the last studio albums released during Elvis' lifetime. According to the album's producers, Way Down In The Jungle Room has been resequenced to "bring a fresh perspective to the material." The material on Disc 2 - The Outtakes was mixed for this collection at the Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis and includes both outtakes and in-the-studio dialog, providing a "fly-on-the-wall experience of what the sessions were like." With the exception of track 13 ("She Thinks I Still Care"), the performances on Disc 2 have been sequenced in the order they were recorded. Way Down In The Jungle Room with also be available on 150g 12" vinyl in a 2LP gatefold sleeve and as a digital collection.

I love this quote from this amazing conceptual invite suite for a in-home wedding featured by Oh So Beautiful Paper:
"The wedding was very much like other weddings, where the parties have no taste for finery or parade, and Mrs. Elton, from the particulars detailed by her husband thought it all extremely shabby, and very inferior to her own. "Very little white satin, very few lace veils; a most pitiful business." But, in spite of these deficiencies, the wishes, the hopes, the predictions, the confidences of the small band of true friends who witnessed the ceremony were fully answered in the perfect happiness of the union." – Jane Austen, from Emma
Sigh. It makes me want to have a small wedding at home.
Now, I know Oscar Wilde* must have written something almost as eloquent and twice as clever about weddings, if I can just lay my hands on it….
**Update! This is the invitation for Emma in the previous post. I had no idea! How cool!**
You must go see the invite suite, found via the excellent Cevd at Pretty Pretty Paper
* Because if you think about it, I'm sure it's obvious that I love Oscar Wilde's writing. I've even lipstick-kissed his grave in Paris.

Jogger Owes $300,000 for Accident with a Cyclist
By Josh Silverman on August 06, 2015
In 17 years of practice I have pursued a number of cases on behalf of pedestrians and cyclists, but I am quite certain I've never had a case where a cyclist sued a jogger (or vice-versa). According to an article in Virginia Lawyers Weekly, William Bundy was jogging in June 2012 when he collided with cyclist Ann Shephard. Apparently the complaint alleged that the jogger turned around suddenly in from of the cyclist causing her to fall off the bike and suffer a serious head injury. The jogger claimed he did not hear the cyclist approach due to hearing loss. No word yet on whether the verdict is being appealed.
Unfortunately this may not be the last time this situation occurs. Society appears to be becoming more active which is obviously a positive trend, but that also means streets and trails are being shared by cyclists and joggers alike. Most of the time it works out fine, but as the roads and trails become more congested we need to be careful. We also need to consider whether we are financially protected. Auto insurance of course will not help in this situation. Everyone should have adequate homeowners insurance or renters insurance which will provide personal liability protection.
For more information about the rights of pedestrians and bicyclists, please visit my website at http://www.joshsilvermanlaw.com/practice-areas/auto-accidents or give me a call.
