George Henry Longly: Hair Care
Title : Installation view, George Henry Longly, Hair Care at Jonathan Viner, London (2014)
Jonathan Viner, London
Review by Rachel E Guthrie
It's not often that you see exhibition literature emblazoned onto gallery walls in gold. The colour gold defies the universal standard of contemporary art gallery aesthetics, whose specification is simple: less is more. Gold glares and glitzes, it may be glamourous (something contemporary art wavers in and out of love with) but it's also gaudy (which is almost invariably treated with contempt).
Contrary to appearances, George Henry Longly's 'Hair Care' is rich in ideas and steers clear of the shallow. In constructing the exhibition Longly anticipated the attitudes of his viewers, the expectations he or she might have formed about the exhibition based upon its title. The artist uses the exhibition to feed and foster these ideas. The most effective way the artist does this is to counteract the superficial motives behind the rituals and practices of hair care, with artworks that have been invested with a great deal of thought.
The works in the opening room at first humour our simple-mindedness before making light of it. A pair of marble plaques commemorate and challenge the transformative power of beauty products. Side by side, they are a before and after shot - a testimony to these objects' seduction but failure to perform. They critique the display of faith made by those who subscribe to these things marketed as 'miracle workers.' Embedded in Longly's marble plaques are objects of faith, such as the golden wand (the Touche Eclat, for eye bag reduction), and, in previous works, the silver bullet (Rogaine, a miracle grow for those suffering with hair loss.)
Letters are cleanly cut into both the marble plaques but jumbled, as when a child is left to its own devices with a fridge front full of letter magnets. But stare a little longer, and these muddled texts reveal conclusions. The left tempts ('take it it's yours') while the right despairs ('I hate what you have done to my hair.') In both the art-historical traditions of marble are weighty and loaded with pleasure. Marble is strong - it supposes power - and has made flesh many objects of faith and worship, not least goddesses, who are mimicked by beauty mega-brand Gilette users worldwide.
A reverence for objects in and outside the art world describes much of Longly's concerns for this body of work. The artist deals equally with the idea of objects as idols, and idols as objects. Connecting multiple works together, for example, is the ancient figure of hermaphrodite (the son of the Greek god Hermes and goddess Aphrodite) who is visualised in one vitrine as a hanger-like figure.
Carrying the signs of both sexes (being both male and female), hermaphrodite is used to ridicule the idolisation of a perfect male or female body that stems from the ancient Greek laws of beauty and proportion. The classical gods were idolised for their beauty. Their very figures became the subject of desire and the model of perfection. Here the content of the first and second room begins to cohere. The god/goddess whose image is eternally embodied in stone, is paralleled with the Touche Eclat user who with the help of this miracle skin care hopes that they may immortalise their image.
In 'Bodys', death and life are very literally contrasted. Longly casts the body of a pin-up boy, memorialising it - allowing it to live forever. However, the two casts - leg, thigh and calf, and crotch, torso and arm - are laid out in a glass-topped, MDF clad, marble container, which resembles a sarcophagus or coffin. Inside the marble is engraved with pseudo-effigies in futuristic fonts, such as 'Ma'am' and '2014.' Beneath the casts, pleated fabric beds the body comfortably. While this fabric is from taken from Issey Miyake's Pleats Please, it is also evocative of the Greek sculptural tradition, because the lively depiction of fabric is often given as an example of the vitality of the figures the sculptors depicted. Once again Longly's work turns full circle. It arrives neatly where it began, with the human search for fullness of life.

BYU professor first to study sexuality and mindfulness
Kristen Hollingshaus
David and Chelom Leavitt hold the flags of the countries that are receiving instruction from the Leavitt Institute. (Chelom Leavitt)
Chelom Leavitt knew she wanted to attend law school and make a fulfilling career for herself as a 10-year-old; however, she had no idea her path would lead her to teach families in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and BYU students about sexual education.
Leavitt earned her bachelor's degree in economics at BYU and then returned to receive her Juris Doctor from the J. Reuben Clark Law School.
After finishing law school, Leavitt and her husband David — also an attorney — were given an opportunity to relocate to Ukraine where they would help with a nonprofit project that involved working with democracy, rule of law and creating a transparent court system.
Leavitt is interviewed by a European news station. (Chelom Leavitt)
During their time in Europe, the Leavitts established the Leavitt Institute, which, according to Leavitt, helps spread democracy and rule of law in developing nations.
"While I was teaching and working in Europe, I noticed that families there had the highest divorce rates in the world," Leavitt said. "I started feeling very strongly about the reasons why families were falling apart and that the cultural attitudes about sex were weakening relationships."
According to Leavitt, this observation is what led her to return to the U.S. to work on earning a master's degree in marriage, family and human development from BYU, and eventually her doctorate in human development and family studies from Penn State.
After finishing her degrees and returning to Europe in between, Leavitt decided teaching — specifically about healthy sexuality — was what she needed to do.
"The LDS culture is very closed about sexuality, even though we should be the happiest culture regarding sexuality," Leavitt said. "We do not have a tradition that sex is sinful. Sex helps to bond couples together, and I have been trying to open the discussion about what we believe."
Leavitt said in her time teaching at BYU she has come across handfuls of students who punish themselves when they simply think about arousal. Leavitt believes helping students recognize their sexuality is "healing, nurturing and powerful."
Senior Hailey Palmer is studying family life and is a teaching assistant for Leavitt's class. She said she is passionate about the topics that Leavitt discusses.
"It is so important for students to have a healthy understanding of the importance of sexuality and a firm understanding of the topic," Palmer said. "The deepest problems early on in marriage have to do with sexual intimacy, and they arise due to distorted views and little understanding in our culture."
Palmer believes it's important to be equipped with understanding and have open discussions about the topic.
"There is a general culture in Provo that is damaging to a lot of relationships," Palmer said. "There is a huge gray area because people aren't discussing sex or understanding the topic at all."
Leavitt has helped students feel comfortable with sexual topics and has further become one of the first in the nation to study the benefits of sexuality and mindfulness, specifically in regards to women.
"Sexual mindfulness is less judgmental, more present and aware, and provides higher satisfaction and better functionality," Leavitt said.
Leavitt has published two books: one about sexuality and another about teaching children about sex. A third is now in the works.
Sophomore family studies major Katie Cheney took Leavitt's class as preparation for marriage and said parents in the Church generally do not know how to properly teach their children about sex.
"It is difficult for those transitioning from celibacy to sex in marriage, and it can be a very straining time, rather than a wonderful experience for both people," Cheney said. "This class explains why it is not only sanctioned by God but something He created us to experience."
Leavitt said she hopes women can better understand their sexual identities and know how healing and nurturing sex can be for relationships.
"For so long we have studied sex from a male perspective," Leavitt said. "Women need to stop beating themselves over the head because their desire and expectation isn't the same as a man's."
Leavitt said women are different from men and even other women, and they need to stop feeling like failures.
To reverse some of the damaging perspectives and lack of sexual education in the home, Leavitt plans to continue teaching sexuality at BYU. She is focused on helping parents in the Church properly teach and foster healthy sexuality in the home.

Graveney Gin distillery, masterclasses & mini bar
by victoria in Tooting High Street
On 3rd March 2016 we successfully raised £2,790 with 58 supporters in 28 days
Graveney Gin, a handcrafted organic spirit, launched Sept 2015 Help me take it into a new micro-distillery & tasting room at Tooting Market
@graveneygin
About the funding project - My passion I can bring to you
I need your help to take Graveney Gin from my kitchen in Tooting, London, into the heart of the heart of the Tooting community. I have secured a unit within Tooting Market and with your help will develop this into a tasting room / bar with an on-site micro-distillery
My first 5L copper still with botanials I used to make distillates
About Graveney Gin
Graveney Gin (pronounced Grave-nee) launched in September 2015 at the annual community celebration of all things Tooting called Tootopia. Tooting means so much to me, it is where I live, love and eat.
The Gin is named after my part of Tooting called Graveney.Here is the link if you want to find out more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooting. Its a fab place.
About me and gin
My passion for gin started young, when mum was having a casual G&T and I experienced, for the first time, amazing and memorable aroma of Gin and Indian Tonic water. She assured me of the benefits of the quinine in the Tonic living in Africa at the time. This period of my life also cemented my love of nature and particularly Gorillas which I am now able to assist with a donation to "Gearing up for Gorillas" from every bottle of Graveney Gin sold.
So when I grew up it was just so familiar for me to default to G&T's. It wasn't until I moved to London that I was exposed to and inspired by a wider variety of gin options, including craft gins made with different ingredients and in quirky ways.
A birthday treat saw me making my own gin as part of a distillery experience. I was so inspired I bought a small still and after jumping through some regulatory hoops I started distilling gin in my kitchen. I produced many different versions, happily testing them along the way until settling on one that I really liked. Family and friends agreed and asked whether they could buy some.
Thats me with the samples I used to test various gins
The start of Graveney Gin
In early 2015 I created a name for my gin and shared this on twitter, kick starting the Graveney gin journey.
I launched Graveney Gin at Tootopia September 2015. I had modest expectations for the event; however, I was totally overwhelmed by the level of interest and support from everyone. By the end of the weekend this had been translated into the sale of 120 bottles.
- I couldn't stop thinking I was in a dream.
Where I am today means that I have been able to donate £300 to Gearing Up For Gorillas and expand into local restaurnt and bars. This is all possible becasue of the support I've received from you.
Graveney Gin branding
The future is Tooting Market Opportunity.
As mentioned earlier I need your help to take Graveney Gin from my kitchen into the heart of the heart of the Tooting community.
I have secured a unit within Tooting Market and with your help will develop this into a tasting room / bar with an on-site micro-distillery.
My vision is to deliver a fun, casual, unpretentious and enjoyable gin experience.
This funding will be used to create a space which will allow masterclasses where you can make your own gin, taste other craft gins from around the world and enlargement of the still.
My proud space, which is more green than Gin bar.

What are superconductors, and when will we all get maglev trains and unlimited electrical power?
Superconductivity is one of those concepts — like electron spin or time dilation — that seems somewhat esoteric, but which, if mastered through technology, could truly revolutionize the world. It's a concept we already use heavily today, in various applications, but an ability to create it in ever less-hospitable environments could be the key to bringing many of the dreams of science fiction to life.
What is superconductivity? Put simply, superconductivity is the property of having zero (not almost zero, not vanishingly close to zero, but zero) resistance to the movement of electrons. It's more than just really really low resistance, because in order to have true superconductivity in, say, a wire, one end of that wire needs to be able to receive 100% of the energy put in at the other. This means that if we pump some electricity into a closed superconducting loop, that loop would hold its charge indefinitely. The electrons will simply go round and round and round, never stopping, and never losing any of their energy to resistance, magnetic interference, or even heat loss.
A sample of the exotic superconducting material bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide (BSCCO-2223).
Yet there's one big problem with the closed-loop thought experiment: it implies that superconductivity is a state in which a material can simply be. However, all superconductors currently known have to be actively kept in that state through the input of energy; we have to keep them below a certain critical temperature, and often supplement this by applying a magnetic field to knock out any few remaining internal forces. The temperature thresholds are incredibly low, and thus incredibly expensive to maintain. Aluminum, for instance, has a superconducting temperature threshold of 1.2 Kelvin, or -271.95 °C.
The physics involved are either quite simple or quite complex, depending on the material. In pure metals or simple metal alloys, superconductivity comes about basically when the atoms of that material have been cooled (slowed) to the point that electrons are not scattered as they try to move through the lattice of metal atoms. That's great, but stopping atomic movement (heat) is very difficult, as mentioned. More complex materials, some of which can achieve superconductivity above cryogenic temperatures, are decidedly within the realm of quantum weirdness, and have to do with transient interactions between electron pairs.
This means that our infinite-energy-loop could only exist so long as we're expending significant energy to keep the loop in a superconducting state, and that sort of defeats the point of lossless energy storage, now doesn't it?
The world's first superconducting cable. Not even bleeding edge science can look particularly advanced, on a construction site.
The current applications for superconductors are all limited by their temperature requirements. MRI machines are incredibly expensive, largely because they require exotic substances like liquid helium to cool metal coils to the point that they can conduct enough electricity to create the strengths of magnetic field required to bulk-reorient the molecules of the human body. Much of the shocking expense of the Large Hadron Collider came from the same source. Even research into fusion power is being slowed by the almost unbelievable expense and difficulty of creating huge magnetic tokamak rigs for plasma confinement.
This is why our Holy Grail is not superconductivity, which has been achieved in everything from super-cooled porcelain to super-cooled diamond, but practical superconductivity. This is also referred to as high-temperature superconductivity or (for the truly ambitious) room-temperature superconductivity. The threshold of "high temperature" is technically around 30K, but in conversation these days, it's generally locked to the limitations of real-world application. A high temperature for a superconductor is, basically, any temperature that scientists can create for an acceptable energy cost. If we could suddenly cool a superconducting material to 29 Kelvin with very little trouble, 29 Kelvin would effectively become a high temperature, for our purposes.
Maglev trains would be the logical choice in almost every case, if not for how prohibitively expensive they are.
Ask yourself: What are the technological barriers to making Africa into humanity's all-powering electrical battery? There are, in a general sense, two. One is the ability to collect and store a large enough portion of the sunlight falling on that desert continent, and the other is the ability to actually get that stored energy around the world, to the homes, offices, and factories where it's needed. With affordable-enough and practical-enough superconducting material, we could ship our electrons across the Atlantic. We could turn municipal transit lines into magnetically levitated bullet trains. Hospitals could have more MRI machines than they require, and lend some out for home use. In general, it could allow the large-scale application of technologies previously only possible on the small scale, or in special, well-funded labs.
We're nowhere near those thresholds, today. Different crystal structures can do the work (diamond works, as mentioned), but what scientists have found is that they can achieve the same results in complex mixed materials — though the physics of precisely why that is are currently unclear. The best superconductors ever created are cuprates, or cooper-ion containing substances, but the most advanced of these still require cooling to -140 °C, and are quite difficult and expensive to produce.
A diagram of the internal workings of the superconducting cable in Essen, Germany.
That's not to say there haven't been any successes. Considering simple electrical efficiency, which accounts for a loss of roughly 6% of electricity in power transmission, the German city of Essen recently installed a kilometer-long superconducting cable for transferring grid power. This cable uses liquid nitrogen to achieve a working temperature of 60K, or -206°C. That's very impressive, and the use of liquid nitrogen for cooling makes it at least somewhat affordable, but we'll need far better to start mass-replacing the electrical infrastructure of the entire world.
Superconductivity is a major area of research for both academics and industrial scientists, but it's very possible that an eventual solution will be found on a blackboard first, and in the laboratory second.


You are here: Home / sleep / My sleep-inspired girl crush…..
Oh Ariana Huffington – you had me at 'get more sleep'.
Not only is she an author and syndicated columnist, founder of the ubiquitous Huffington Post, she has been named one of Forbes most influential women, ran for Governor of California and….
ARIANNA TELLS EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
I like to think Arianna would be completely supportive of those who chose to ensure they slept well by sleeping separately. I would love to ask her if she dabbles in the practice when necessary.
Here are some link to Arianna's sleep thoughts.
And here's Arianna spreading the good news on Ellen.
I think my girl crush is completely justified.


On the lists of the most competitive and expensive races of the 2018 cycle, the fight for Kentucky's Sixth Congressional District was often listed at the top. Republican Andy Barr needed to present his record of leadership and results to the voters while also pushing back against a well-funded and nationally recognized challenger.
Having worked with Rep. Barr since his first campaign in 2012, Beast was able to tap into a deep understanding of his brand and messaging to help drive the campaign to a decisive victory.
We knew the most important success criteria for this race would be controlling the perception of our opponent. We accomplished this by creating a suite of opposition content that reinforced our messaging and moved undecided voters to support our campaign.
To get the most efficient use of our advertising dollars, we used research and audience insights to create issue-focused landing pages. Through precise targeting and effective creative, we were able to acquire new emails, coalesce support, and further ingrain perception of the Congressman's leadership on these key issues.
The news cycle moves at lightning fast speeds, requiring us to be ahead of the game when it comes to creating content that capitalizes on the moment. As key issues emerged, our team was at the ready creating timely content that drove engagement and grew our audience.

That should be a staple in Notre Dame's offense until teams can stop it.
Florida State couldn't Saturday in Notre Dame's 42-26 victory. The Irish rushed for 249 yards and four touchdowns on 22 designed runs that went to the left side — an average of 11.3 yards per carry.
On 16 designed runs to the right side, Notre Dame gained 76 yards (4.8 yards per carry). One quarterback draw up the middle by Ian Book gained 11 yards.
The yardage was more balanced when comparing inside and outside running plays, but the scoring leaned in favor of outside running plays. On inside runs, the Irish gained 200 yards and one touchdown on 21 carries (9.5 YPC). On outside runs, Notre Dame tallied 136 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries (7.5 YPC).
Held down by offensive tackle Liam Eichenberg and guard Aaron Banks, the left side rushing success shouldn't be a surprise. But the production wasn't noticeably affected when Dillan Gibbons entered the game at left guard either.
When Eichenberg was sidelined in the second quarter with an eye injury, Gibbons went in at left guard with Banks sliding out to left tackle. Eichenberg returned to start the second half, but Gibbons saw more action at left guard when Banks briefly exited for five plays.
Let's take a closer look at other aspects of Notre Dame's offensive production following a review of Saturday's game.
Personnel production
Notre Dame averaged 10.1 yards per play when using two tight ends against Florida State. With two tight ends in the formation, regardless of where they were lined up, the Irish totaled 187 yards and two touchdowns on 16 designed runs and completed 6-of-8 passes for 55 yards and one touchdown on eight dropbacks.
The two-tight end set has not yet overtaken the offense as the most frequent personnel grouping, but the gap continues to close. The Irish used three wide receivers on 30 plays as opposed to 24 plays with two tight ends.
The production was high for the three-wide receiver packages too with 8.3 yards per play. On 14 designed runs, the Irish gained 124 yards and one touchdown. On 16 dropbacks, Book completed 6 of his 13 passes for 107 yards and rushed three times for 17 yards.
The Irish also used personnel groupings of three tight ends (10 plays for 46 yards and one touchdowns), four tight ends (two plays for one yard and one touchdown) and two running backs (one play for a 17-yard completion).
Notre Dame used Book in three different pre-snap alignments against Florida State: shotgun, under center and pistol. The shotgun alignment was used most frequently: 45 plays for 404 yards and four touchdowns for an average of nearly nine yards per play. The play calling was relatively balanced out of shotgun with 24 dropbacks and 21 designed runs.
The Irish were run-heavy when Book lined up under center. Fifteen of those 19 plays were designed runs which totaled 116 yards and two touchdowns. The four dropbacks resulted in 3-of-4 passing for just 17 yards. The Irish averaged seven yards per play with Book under center.
All three plays in which Book operated from the pistol, which includes a running back positioned directly behind him, were designed runs. The Irish gained 17 rushing yards (5.7 yard per play).
Passing depth
In the first two games of the season, Book only attempted one pass beyond 30 yards of the line of scrimmage. He upped that total by three on Saturday against Florida State, though all three attempts fell incomplete. Book couldn't quite connect on deep shots to wide receivers Kevin Austin Jr. and Braden Lenzy and tight end Tommy Tremble.
But Book continued to have success in the range of 21-30 yards downfield in limited targets. All four of his passes at that depth have been completed this season. He connected in that range twice against Florida State for 74 yards.
Excluding his two throwaways, Book completed 16 of his 23 targeted throws for 201 yards and two touchdowns. Here's a breakdown of how he fared relative to the line of scrimmage.
Behind the line to 0 yards: 3-of-4 for 20 yards with one off-target throw.
1-5 yards: 6-of-9 for 35 yards and 2 TDs with two drops and one off-target throw.
6-10 yards: 2-of-2 for 27 yards.
11-15 yards: 2-of-2 for 28 yards.
31-plus yards: 0-of-3 with three off-target throws.
Most of the passing yardage came through the air rather than after the catch. Book completed his 16 passes at an average depth of 7.3 yards. The Irish skill players added an average of 5.3 yards after the catch.
Book's average depth of intended throws went 10.1 yards — a little more than three yards longer than his average in the first two games (6.9).
Book wasn't sacked in the victory over Florida State. His pass protection wasn't quite excellent, but it was better than average across Notre Dame's last two seasons.
Florida State pressured Book on 25 percent of his 28 dropbacks. That pressure rate would have ranked sixth-best for the Irish last season.
The seven protection losses came courtesy of two unblocked defenders, one ill-advised spin move by Book and one defeat each from Eichenberg, Gibbons, right tackle Robert Hainsey and right guard Tommy Kraemer.
When Florida State generated pressure, it impacted Book more often than not. On those seven dropbacks, Book completed just two passes for 19 yards and one touchdown. His three incomplete passes came on two throwaways and one overthrow. Book also scrambled twice for nine yards.
The Seminoles threw a variety of pass rush looks at Notre Dame. The Irish pass protection, with the help of tight ends and running backs at times, still had the numbers advantage on 21 of Book's 28 dropbacks. Six times the Seminoles brought the same number of pass rushers as Book had pass blockers. The one time Florida State sent more pass rushers than Notre Dame's pass protection unit, Book completed a pass to wide receiver Javon McKinley for 38 yards.
When the pass protection/pass rush ratio was even, Book finished 3-of-6 for 23 yards with one throwaway and two off-target throws and was pressured three times.
Here's how Book fared against the various pass rush quantities.
Three-man rush (1 time): 0-of-1. Overthrow. No pressure.
Four-man rush (14 times): 8-of-11 for 103 yards. One drop, one off-target throw and one throwaway. Three runs for 17 yards. Four pressures.
Five-man rush (7 times): 4-of-7 for 37 yards and 1 TD. One drop, one high throw and one overthrow. No pressure.
Six-man rush (5 time): 3-of-5 for 23 yards and 1 TD. One overthrow and one throwaway. Three pressures.
Seven-man rush (1 time): 1-of-1 for 38 yards. No pressure.

These T&Cs are a summary of the contracts we sign with our clients, in our effort to be clear and transparent from the very beginning.
The prices stipulated in our table are fixed, without hidden extras, except those in which a range or a minimum price is explicitly stated, or those in which THE CLIENT requires a specific external service, such as recordings using real instruments by professional performers. Kelpie Music (hereinafter, THE PRODUCER) will carry out the necessary arrangements in such a case and will add to the cost of the service the fees corresponding to that external work, subject to prior agreement with THE CLIENT.
The prices of those projects that are evaluated and considered by THE PRODUCER as especially complex, either due to exceptional volume of work or the requirement of a time greater than the usual average for its completion, will be subject to an upward renegotiation.
Once the terms in which the creation of the first work will be developed have been agreed, THE PRODUCER will require a deposit of at least 50% of the final price FROM THE CLIENT, prior to the start of the work, although they can choose to make the full payment, if preferred. The fees corresponding to possible contributions by external performers must be paid in full within this period.
If THE CLIENT does not pay the full cost before the start of production, the final payment must be made within 15 days after the delivery of the work.
The GOLD and SILVER packs can be combined with any of the SAVING packs. The FLAT RATE pack cannot be combined with other packs or offers.
The prices shown in the summary table on this website are subject to change without prior notice.
Whatever the contracted service, the master will be sent in any digital format or formats of the CLIENT's choice. If none is specified, the standard formats of THE PRODUCER will be used: WAV (stereo, 24 bits, 44100Hz) and MP3 (320kbps).
THE PRODUCER will retain the rights to the recording until the invoice has been fully paid by THE CLIENT.
The composer or composers of the respective parts in a song will at all times retain the moral and author rights of their works, since these, due to their inalienable nature, cannot be transferred to another person.
Likewise, the composer or composers will keep at all times the composition credits in their corresponding percentages of the musical works in which they participate, and in this way, they will be presented to the relevant intellectual property rights management societies, unless otherwise dealt by economic agreement between THE PRODUCER and THE CLIENT.
THE PRODUCER will claim percentage of royalties for original productions when the client signs a contract with a publisher or record label. In that case, 3% of sales will be claimed, which is the standard procedure in the industry.
In the case of remixes, THE PRODUCER will keep the composition credits, as well as their derived rights, regarding the musical arrangements executed as part of its work, and that, therefore, are not contained in the original work.
In the case of musical production for audio-visuals, composition credits – and their derived rights – will invariably belong to the composer/producer. The rights will only be transferred for the planned project.
Under this same case, the transfer of the property rights of the produced work will be considered, in general, exclusive, and without temporal or territorial limits. However, there is the possibility of a 20% discount on the service rate if a non-exclusive assignment of the work is agreed, thus allowing THE PRODUCER to transfer said rights again to third parties, individuals or legal entities. Other discount possibilities can be agreed with the client establishing time and/or territorial limits to the assignment.
The prices of the musical production offered by THE PRODUCER correspond to projects that include only non-real instruments. Therefore, as specified in the general T&Cs, THE CLIENT will be liable for the hiring expenses of external elements, and must be paid in the manner and time in which said T&Cs are stated.
THE PRODUCER has a network of associated recording studios in some of the main cities of Spain that will be offered to THE CLIENT in case of requiring a professional recording of voice or real instruments on their part to complete the production. The cost of these recordings is not included in the prices stipulated by THE PRODUCER, and must be paid by THE CLIENT in the time and manner required by the studio.
Creative mixing
The budget for the execution of a MEGAMIX is variable, and will depend mainly on the material provided, the characteristics of the product, its complexity, the possibility of commercial publication and the delivery deadline. This price will be discussed and signed in a legal contract with THE CLIENT, prior to the start of the works.
When contracting any of our CREATIVE MIXING services, THE CLIENT assumes the obligation to provide the tracks and/or resources that will serve as material for the mixed work that is acquired.
THE PRODUCER does not sell music for which it does not hold the relevant rights for its commercialisation. The service for which it is hired, and for which it is paid, is for the mixing and transformation action on the tracks previously provided by THE CLIENT.
As they are modifications not covered by law, the concept of 'copyright' is not applicable to them, but to the musical tracks contained. THE CLIENT is ultimately and solely responsible for the use given to the acquired work, including its reproduction, copy and possible broadcasting.
In order to guarantee what is stated in the previous point, the contract between PRODUCER and CLIENT will include a disclaimer clause that will exempt THE PRODUCER from possible legal actions caused by the potential improper dissemination or marketing of the delivered track.
THE PRODUCER does not require THE CLIENT to be the owner or assignee of the rights of the material provided. If THE CLIENT does not hold such rights, THE PRODUCER, as a company, will require not to be mentioned, explicitly or implicitly, in any media used for a possible public dissemination of the work by the CLIENT, although it will request that the producer himself, as a natural person, to be referenced.
If THE CLIENT is the owner or assignee of the rights – including fragmentation rights – of the material provided, and the work is going to be part of a commercial release by a publisher or record label, THE PRODUCER will require to be explicitly mentioned as a producing studio of the work, in the form agreed with the client and embodied in the corresponding contract. The producer himself, as a natural person, will also require to be referenced.

Composer Profiles
James Drew
Listen to this show
for RealAudio G2 stereo version of Cantolobosolo, 11:35. RealAudio mono version
American composer/playwright James Drew has been active in the international Art world since 1970 and continues to be on the forefront of modernist thinking. His works are performed and recorded by major orchestras and ensembles throughout the world. His music is published by Theodore Presser Company and is available world wide.
Today, Drew's poetic language for the stage is best described, according to S. Michael Brannon, as being "a mixture of the metaphysical poets, Shakespeare, and a comic application of street vernacular." Having said that, Brannon adds that "Drew devoutly believes in the holiness of Art." Historian Nicolas Slonimsky cites Drew as an authentic member of the American Experimental Tradition -- a lone wolf with a strong sense of belief and purpose.
Drew has been the recipient of many honors, among which are a Guggenheim Fellowship, support from the Rockefeller Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. He has served with distinction on the faculties of such universities as Yale and UCLA, as well as working professionally as composer, playwright, and director of the GREYWOLF Institute.

If you've been checking in on my Instagram Stories you will know that things are really moving along with our Mandy Moore residential project. It is literally the house of my dreams, a mid-century gem that we are taking back to it's modern roots, and after many months of design, planning, and construction a lot of the finishes are starting to make their way into the house.
Today I am sharing a peek into the second guest bathroom. First let's talk about that slab… we (Emily Farnham, the architect, Mandy and her Fiancé Taylor) all went stone shopping hunting for the perfect slabs for the kitchen and the three bathrooms. We fairly quickly settled on the kitchen and the other two bathrooms but in this bathroom we knew we wanted a statement colored stone and it wasn't as easy to track down. A couple weeks later I went to another stone yard and had them pull out this beauty and knew it was the one!
I don't normally work with purple, like ever, but I am broadening my color spectrum because this is a beautiful shade of eggplantey purple with bits of lilac and peach that I just couldn't resist.
The tile is from Fireclay (2×8 in calcite) and I found all of the fixtures from Wayfair (the undermount sink, faucet, shower head, toilet, drains etc).
The sink wall is my favorite feature in this room because, hello stunning slab, and in the end it will look a little something like above.
For more progress and plans on this project check here and follow along as the house is coming together on instagram. Mine, Mandy's, and Emily's.
Today I am sharing how we converted our family room/playroom into a nursery!
As I mentioned in the plans post about the space, this is still very much a central part of our house so everything might not scream nursery but it carves out a special place for baby girl. We installed the sliding barn doors from Rejuvenation so that when we have them closed (during naps and night time) it sections the space off into her own room but when the barn doors are open, during the day, it still reads as part of the rest of the house.
First thing we did was clear out the sofa and tv and wallpaper one accent wall with this lulu & georgia mural. The colors blend well with the rest of the house but the animals and trees bring in the whimsy that differentiates that space around the crib.
Then we brought in a gorgeous green glider from west elm and the vintage daybed from Elsie Green.
I found the crib, crib mattress, bedding, crib skirt, pillows and ottoman all on Wayfair. As you might notice the trend of me finding anything and everything on that site.
Next we added black out curtains. I got these from etsy but I didn't realize the curtains themselves are that vinyl feeling actual blackout material. I might look for a shear liner of some sort to go on top.
In lieu of a mobile we hung a swan created by artist Tamar Mogendorff to round out the crib area. And on the practical side of things, this room doesn't have any venting to our HVAC system so now that we installed the sliding barn doors we needed a way to adjust the temperature easily. Also being a baby's room we wanted an air purifier so we brought in the Dyson Hot + Cool link which does all of that in one small package.
Finally, we cleared out the shelves and re-styled them in a lighter more monochromatic way to keep it bright and not too busy. I filled the bottom shelf with these soft rope baskets which organize all the every day baby items like diapers, swaddles, onesies, baby linens etc. and then tucked the rest of her clothes in the cabinets below. We also added a platform to the middle section (where the tv used to be) to extend it out 3" in order to accommodate the changing pad, turning it into our changing table.
Stay tuned to see the space we created for Archie since we converted his playroom into baby girls' room.
It's that home entertaining time of year again and it's time to bust out all the linens. I love building tablescapes for meals with friends and family (way more than the actual cooking) so I wanted to share a few tips on how I quickly create a layered tabletop fit for the holidays and full of style. I'll also be sharing some quick pointers on how to care for the linens after the party and how Electrolux makes it easy.
1. Build a non-traditional color palette.
I always find I am way more drawn to tablescapes that veer off the obvious color choices for the holidays. Thanksgiving doesn't have to be all browns and oranges, however I am loving ochre and rust, so by pairing a traditional color with a not so traditional color like pink, suddenly the table feels fresh.
2. Bring in a little vintage.
Just like how I love to incorporate vintage furniture into the spaces I design for a more storied and interesting result, a little vintage on your tabletop can go a long way as well. Whether it is a small set of some amazing vintage glassware or a set of brass vintage flatware (like I used above) these make a holiday table feel unique, aka extra special.
3. Layer on the linens.
During the holidays I like to make my home extra cozy with extra layers of blankets and pillows which translates to the tabletop as well. Tablecloths and cloth napkins are perfect to bring that coziness to a meal for holiday entertaining. I also added some extra muslin as a table runner which is the same color as the table cloth but adds one more subtle layer of texture. Some people my shy away from using table cloths and/or cloth napkins because of the maintenance but I've teamed up with Electrolux to share how easy they make caring for your entertaining linens can be.
When the party is over (or the next day if I am going to be realistic) I throw my linens in the washer and use the gentle cycle. With Electrolux SmartBoost™ technology the washer pretty much takes care of the rest. It automatically premixes water and detergent before the wash cycle begins which means a deep all around clean that effectively removes stains.
When it comes to drying, you want to make sure to take extra care of linens so they last over time. I like to pull them from the dryer right when they are dried through, or just before. You don't want to over dry them. Another handy setting from Electrolux that makes sure you don't even have to think about it is that they have a moisture sensor so as soon as the fabric is dry it will automatically switch off.
I think it was Martha Stewart that recommended hanging table cloths and napkins over a cardboard roll that comes with a rug or carpet, to prevent creases, but who has easy access to that or the space to store it? Unfortunately not me, well I am sure I could find one since I do like to collect me some rugs, but my linen closet is smaller than a phone booth and my house has ZERO extra space so still a no go. Inevitably my linens get folded up and when I want to use them they are creased but by tossing them in the Electrolux dryer using the Perfect Steam™ setting, it gently removes the wrinkles and creases and is ready for the next shindig.
This post was sponsored by Electrolux, as always all thoughts ideas and tablescapes are my own :). Thank you for supporting our sponsors!
SSS x SemiHandmade Cabinet Doors!
It's here, it's here! Today is launch day for my signature line of cabinet doors I designed for SemiHandmade. If you've read my blog for any length of time you probably are not a stranger to SemiHandmade either. I used them in my own kitchen in LA and our A-frame kitchen. As well as some clients kitchens. They create high quality doors to fit on Ikea cabinetry so you can get the look of a custom kitchen without having to pay the price of a custom kitchen and you can use them on some of their bath and media cabinets as well.
About a year ago I was designing a kitchen for a client that wanted to use Semihandmade in their kitchen and that is when I came up with the idea of designing my own front and proposed the idea to John (Semihandmade founder) with some drawings and a rendering. I proposed the modern take on the classic bead board and John and his team produced it exactly as I imagined.
Why a modern beadboard? I wanted to bring my modern version of the beadboard to market because of its clean design and its versatility. It can easily fit into a farmhouse style home paired with an apron sink and more traditional hardware while still giving the space an updated look. And it works equally as well in a very modern space with cleaner lines and paired down details. The simple geometry of the vertical lines convey a clean foundation without a ton of decoration but just enough detail to add some texture and simple pattern to the room. They have the ability to fit into kitchens of a range of styles depending on what they are paired with.
For the collection we came up with 8 custom colors. A few of the colors I knew I had to have as they turn up in my client work and my own home so much, like the blush pink (blush) and the dark green (juniper), so I specified those. From there I of course wanted to make sure we had to all the basics, white, black, off-white etc and then I worked closely with Semihandmade to chose the rest of the colors from thermafoil samples. There is a warm grey (desert grey) which is close to a khaki color and another favorite is Agave (shown directly above) which is similar to my original cabinet color but reads more blue.
For this 75″ credenza shown above (in 4 of the 8 colors available), this is your shopping list.
I couldn't be more excited to see this collaboration come to life and I can't wait to start seeing these doors turn up in peoples homes!
And if you are eyeing the pretty brass knobs and pulls, that is all from my line of hardware with Park Studio! I designed the half moon shapes specifically to coordinate with my cabinet door design. I wanted something that updated our modern take on the beadboard even more and working from my love of simple geometric shapes the half moon shape was the perfect compliment to the clean vertical lines, especially how they can come together to make a full circle.
If you have seen me recently (or watch my IG stories) you have witnessed me running around like mad trying to get projects wrapped up before baby. Acura recently loaned me out their new MDX Sport Hybrid which I have taken to all corners of town in picking up items for my Mandy Moore residential project and I've received a lot of inquiries about what my go-to home decor stores are in LA so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share a round-up while I also gush about my month with the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid.
First, it was my first time ever driving a hybrid and I was so impressed with how long I could go between fill ups! In the entire month I only had to put gas in once and like I said, I have been in the car A LOT lately. Mandy lives on the opposite site of town from me so site visits are an automatic 2 hours in the car. One feature I loved on those long trips in this heat are the air cooled seats! It has been 100 degree plus at her house (and no air conditioning since it is currently an open job site) so when I get back into the car and can turn on the cooling seats, this oh so pregnant mama was thanking her lucky stars.
The styling of the MDX is also right up my alley. The unique headlights and the black rims (you known I love anything monochromatic) feel really modern. It has also been so nice to be able to have the extra space in the back of the MDX for toting things around and picking up furniture etc. It has more than my current vehicle even though they are both SUV's.
I've already shared my love for Midland when it comes to fashion, but they have some great special home items too.
Kelly Wearstler has been an inspiration for me since I was just out of college and working in advertising. One of our clients was the Viceroy which was just getting built and Ms. Wearstler designed. I worked on the sales brochures and fell head over heals for all the stunning images.
Consort is another fave that brings some serious edge to interiors. Think high fashion for your home.
Right down the street is Lawson Fenning. They actually have two locations but the Melrose location is where I usually go. We picked up a sofa from here for Mandy Moore. The furniture is to die for and they also have a seriously killer collection of ceramics.
Also in the same hood is Nickey Kehoe, they stock their own furniture as well as vintage finds for a more warm and eclectic vibe.
Speaking of vintage, one of my favorite resources for that laid back California vintage style is Surfing Cowboys.
See below for a more complete list of my favorite LA home stores. Happy Shopping!
Thanks to Acura for lending me the MDX and for sponsoring this post. This was my personal review of the vehicle, all thoughts and ideas are my own.
