Shortly after posting that he has completed his rehab stint, the 'Betrayed' rapper reveals that he and his friends have been asked to vacate the Airbnb pad they are staying due to disruptive behavior.
AceShowbiz - Rapper Lil Xan has returned home clean and sober following a stint in rehab.
The "Betrayed" MC, real name Diego Leanos, shared his plans to seek professional help for his opioid addiction in November, as he marked the first anniversary of his pal Lil Peep's fatal overdose, and he checked into an undisclosed treatment facility on December 2.
His new girlfriend, Annie Smith, was given control of his Instagram account while he sought help, and she shared a message for his fans online as he began his journey to sobriety.
The rapper, who briefly dated singer/actress Noah Cyrus over the summer, has since returned to his Twitter page to reveal he is doing well after undergoing treatment.
"Out And Sober," he simply tweeted on Sunday morning (December 16).
However, shortly after the post, Xan uploaded a pair of videos on Instagram to document a run-in with police in Palm Springs, California, where he and his friends were questioned following a noise disturbance complaint.
In the accompanying caption, the heavily tattooed 22-year-old claimed he was being "detained for no reason" and "profiled... for the way i look", even though in the footage, he was not restrained, as one officer insisted they were "just asking questions".
not a gated community just playing music at 10 having a good sunday lol cops came with hands on there guns asking me to put my hands where i can see them and i did. Detained for no reason and these cops profiled me for the way i look,Anyone who thinks wants to say i'm not sober can think that but i'm Completely sober and was acting very calm... Just gonna leave this video here ! everyone have a good day tho 💔 witsooooomuchluvvvvv!
The incident led to Xan and his pals being asked to vacate the Airbnb pad they had been staying in after allegedly breaking the rules of the rental with their "disruptive behavior".

A Pre-Fab Sustainable Village To Create Smart Growth
A self-contained "smart village" shows how even the smallest rural community can be prosperous and self-sustaining.
BY LAUREN GRAVITZ 1 MINUTE READ
The world's population is growing rapidly, especially in the developing world. With that growing population comes a need to figure out where to put all the new people. As we build more houses, it's important to create sustainable development. If only there was some sort of simple blueprint to follow.
That's why, in a collaborative effort to create a village that redefines rural poverty relief, researchers from the U.S. and Malaysia have come together to build a high-tech, self-sustaining community northeast of Kuala Lumpur. With 100 energy-efficient homes and a closed-loop agricultural system that provides not only food for its residents but a surplus for them to sell, the project architects believe the village could be a model for villages around the world.
The community, Rimbunan Kaseh, is in the Malaysian state of Pahang and it runs off energy supplies that are largely solar-generated, supplemented by biomass and hydropower. Its agriculture system grows both animals and crops: A four-level aquaculture system nurtures farmed tilapia–a high-protein fish–and then the wastewater is filtered and put to use to irrigate grain fields, trees, and other crops. The system has proven robust enough to create food to feed the residents and then some, providing villagers with an additional $400 to $650 of income each month.
"This model offers a great opportunity to create holistic change for people in the worse circumstances in Malaysia and other nations," Ellis Rubenstein, president and CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences said to the Global Science and Innovation Advisory Council meeting in San Jose, California.
Houses in Rimbunan Kaseh came from Australia-based Koto Corp: They're modular, constructed from pre-fabricated pieces that fit together like a puzzle, take just seven to 10 days to build, and cost about $16,000 to $20,000. Beyond the houses themselves, the 12-hectare (nearly 30-acre) village holds a community center, education and recreational facilities, and 4G Internet equipped for use in both e-learning and e-health.
The country plans to build as many as 12 more villages like Rimbunan Kaseh in the near future with the hope that their initiative will spur economic growth, provide education and jobs, and improve the quality of life for some of Malaysia's poorest communities.

Relaxed Chip Kelly Spotted At LA Mall (Photo)
By justforkicks January 3, 2012
In a very short amount of time, Oregon Ducks head football coach Chip Kelly has emerged as one of the most successful coaches in all of college football. Since taking over for longtime coach Mike Bellotti, Kelly has put together a 34-6 record, while appearing in three consecutive BCS Bowl games.
Last season, Kelly and his Oregon program lost a heartbreaking battle to Auburn in the BCS National Championship Game. Undeterred by the 22-19 defeat, the school bounced back with a vengeance. Their two-loss season culminated with a 45-38 victory over Wisconsin in the 2012 Rose Bowl.
The 2010 AP Coach of the Year's future appears to be incredibly bright. Kelly has proven to be both an excellent recruiter and outstanding sideline general. When combining these accolades with the program's remarkable support from Portland based Nike, the sky is truly the limit for the team from Eugene.
Tuesday, while still experiencing the afterglow of his triumph in Pasadena, Kelly was spotted at the food court of the Westfield Century City Mall, located across the street from the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, Oregon's base during their stay in Los Angeles.
Per this ifollosports.com original photo, the big-time coach is seen holding a table for his group of lunch mates. Adorned in shorts, a short sleeved shirt and what look to be Nike shoes (no surprise there), the 48-year-old coach appeared to be basking in both victory and the plentiful LA sunshine, as he played around on his handheld device.
Life is very good for Chip Kelly these days!

2008 Trends Watch
January 15, 2008 July 17, 2011 Posted inTechnology & Trends
It's very risky to make predictions in the tech industry. If we knew for certain what the future would be, we'd all be retired and living on our stock investments.
Besides, the tech industry has a long history of being wrong whenever there's a consensus that something's going to happen. Remember the consensus that Apple was dead just before Steve Jobs came back, or that Yahoo (or AOL!) would dominate the Internet just before Google took off.
Some people overcompensate for the risk of embarrassment by making undemanding predictions (witness PC Magazine's bold forecast that smartphones will improve in 2008 and technology spending might decline). Predictions like that may drive a little web traffic, but aren't very actionable.
So we sorted through the predictions others have made online, added our own, and compiled this list of the potential changes to watch out for in 2008, and what they mean for your business.
Will the mobile Internet open up?
This prediction is perilously close to an industry consensus — very credible sources including the Economist
and PC World predict that the wireless networks will become much more open to applications and new devices in 2008.
Don't bet on it. Much of this prediction is based on the 700 MHz spectrum auction in the US, the rollout of WiMax networks, and Verizon's promise that it will provide open access on its wireless network. Those are all important directional changes, but implementation always runs years behind vision in the wireless business. The WiMax rollout is slowing due to Sprint's financial troubles, the 700 MHz network will requires years to build out, and it's unclear if Verizon's brave new open world will actually be any more open than the existing GSM networks in Europe and the US.
In other words, it's extremely likely that wireless networks will become more open by the end of the decade, but extremely unlikely that we'll see a lot of that change implemented in 2008. The implication for businesses: make long-term plans to take advantage of the new networks, but don't plan on a big revenue spike in the next 12 months.
Adobe Air vs. Microsoft Silverlight
Both Air and Silverlight should start to see broader adoption in 2008, but the degree of direct competition between them has been overplayed. Silverlight is basically an effort by Microsoft to replace Flash, the current standard for interactive graphics on the Web. It is an attack on Adobe's web franchise. Air is an effort to let web developers create double-clickable desktop applications. It's an assault on Microsoft's Windows standard. Adobe and Microsoft are a bit like two brawlers rolling around on the floor in a bar fight, each trying to stick a knife in the other's most vulnerable spot.
So although there's a lot of competition between Adobe and Microsoft, the audiences for Air and Silverlight are actually quite different at the moment. The implication: If you're creating a website, by all means consider Silverlight as an alternative to Flash for your graphics (but be mindful that you're making yourself dependant on Microsoft). And if you have a web application company, by all means consider Air as a means to give you a presence on the desktop (but keep in mind that you're tying your site to Adobe). As for the competition between Microsoft and Adobe, it should be very interesting as a test of business strategy, but it's not likely to have much direct impact on other companies in 2008.
Will Linux on the desktop take off?
This is another prediction that has a lot of supporters, with both PC World and the Economist predicting a big rise in the adoption of Linux by desktop computer users in 2008. We think that's extremely unlikely in the developed world. Although Linux has improved and Windows Vista has its drawbacks, the PC market has traditionally had two standards: a leader, and an alternate for those who don't like the leader. The PC and Mac are very firmly established in those roles, and we see no sign of the sort of intense user backlash that would change that in 2008. In the consumer PC world, Linux is a third wheel on a bicycle.
Perhaps in the developing world, where PC prices are a barrier to adoption, Linux may have a role. And perhaps in the developed world, Linux will gradually eat away at the Windows standard over the next several years. But we wouldn't bet on Linux as a consumer PC platform in 2008.
The rise of Android
By the fall of 2008, the first mobile phones with Google's Android operating system are supposed to ship. Although we'd love to line up with the people who are predicting Android will be a knockout win, the reality is that there are a huge number of hurdles in Google's path. Will the OS actually ship on time? Will there turn out to be critical features missing? Will the phones that run Android be compelling? And will any mobile operators be willing to carry them? There's no way to say. The most likely outcome is that 2008 will be a preparatory year for Android, with the real test coming in 2009.
Implication: It's good to experiment with building Android applications in 2008, but we wouldn't bet a company on that platform yet.
The most important trends to watch: The ones that feel like old news
We think it's likely that the most important trends in 2008 will be the continuations of trends that started in 2007 and before. The iPhone may feel like last year's news, but the follow-on products may be more impactful as Apple opens up third party development and (we assume) adds 3G data support to the phone. And the web will continue to eat away at traditional software applications and technology business models. Most established tech companies still consistently underestimate how much the web will change the way they do business, and how quickly the change could happen.
Macromedia co-founder Marc Canter predicts that 2008 will be the year in which it becomes obvious that social features belong in all software. From one perspective that sounds like a fantasy — who wants MySpace in their word processor? But if you look at social features as the broad process of using the Internet to engage with your users to add value and get a two-way dialog, Canter's prediction is very sensible. It's not as sexy as predicting that Linux will burn down Redmond, but it's a lot more likely to happen.

Milano: Il Clan Dei Calabresi
June 1, 2013 jonman492000	Leave a comment
Once again the BEAT records company come up trumps with another fantastic sounding soundtrack from the supreme silver age of Italian film music. I have for many years championed the music of Gianni Marchetti, as in my ever so humble opinion he is one of the unsung heroes of music for Italian cinema, one of those composers who made great contributions to this quirky, dramatic and at times surreal world of film but never really received the recognition he so richly deserved. One can just tell from the outset of this soundtrack that it is one that will savoured and devoured by all serious collectors of music all, a italiana for the cinema. It is a hard hitting slice of scoring in which the composers puts to effective use various stock instrumentation that have become the calling card of many a Italian Maestro, i.e.; powerful sounding piano, harmonica, driving underlying strings, harpsichord, vibes, female voice (which is quite subtle and understated in this case), whistling, mysterious sounding woods, jaws harp, electric guitar passages that are at times fuzzy sounding and fast paced percussion, all of which in this particular case are combined and intertwined on occasion with funky sounding backing and infectious thematic properties that not only suit the film perfectly but also have the ability to be entertaining and engrossing as stand alone pieces. The composers obvious gift for producing melodic and catchy musical phrases and passages becomes apparent early on in the score and pays off big time for the listener, the central themes for the score re-occur throughout the work but are given a bright and fresh sound on each outing by the composers inventive and innovative skills as an arranger. Amongst the many cues on the compact disc we are treated to some lighter and laid back sections in which the composer employs an easy listening almost sleazy sound which too is effective, creating that dim lit night club atmosphere with a meandering almost improvised piano solo backed by lazy sounding percussion that is punctuated by an uncomplicated double bass that marks time in a deliberate and systematic fashion. For me this is a wonderful score by Marchetti, and I feel that we as film music collectors have been missing out because of the unavailability of this composers work on any type of recording, maybe now the vaults at Italian record companies are becoming slightly less congested compared to what they were a few years back, Marchetti's musical gems will be uncovered and released at last, if they are half as good as this particular score we will all be in seventh heaven. More Marchetti Please…
Gianni Marchetti
MUORI LENTAMENTE TE LA CODI DI PIU.
Composer Gianni Marchetti, is probably more than any other Italian film music composer underrated, underused and also under represented on recordings of any type. I first discovered Marchetti via his scores for COWARDS DON'T PRAY and SEVEN RED BERETS which were issued as a double soundtrack album on Long playing record back in the 1960s by CAM, these two atmospheric and haunting works were a great introduction for me as at that time I was still discovering the multi faceted, alluring and ingenious world of the Euro score. The composer's obvious ability to create lingering and effective themes and his gift and talent for orchestration was refreshing and attractive. The problem was that there was at that time little or no other scores available for me to collect. This situation has sadly not been remedied to any great extent and Marchetti's scores have in my opinion been neglected by record labels and also because of this collectors are in most cases still unaware of this composers wealth of material. Hillside did release COWARDS DON'T PRAY around two years ago, and earlier this year they issued MUORI LENTAMENTE TE LA CODI DI PIU (DIE SLOWLY, YOU'LL ENJOY IT MORE). I was actually always under the impression that this was a western score, as I had seen the LP cover many times in ads etc. from CAM, and this had Lex Barker brandishing a rifle dressed in what I thought was a Jim Bowie type jacket. I did find out later of course it was not a western. Hillside's release of this score contains many more cues than the original LP record; 35 in all. Marchetti's score is a multi edged one, it contains large expansive string arrangements that would not be out of place in one of those over the top romantic Hollywood pics, these are full and richly luxurious and sweep and swell in a style that can only be labelled as grandiose. Intimate and poignant tone poems that are intricate and delicate, hard hitting jazz infused action cues and highly charged jazz compositions that fuse big band and lounge styles flawlessly.
Add to this already eclectic musical palette stunning solos on saxophone, electric guitar, piano and trumpet all supported by percussion and enhanced by lightly strummed guitar with occasional light use of vibes and subtle inclusion of organ and strategically placed harpsichord, plus the exquisite and unblemished vocal performances of Italian film music's first lady Edda Dell Orso and the precise and faultless inclusion of the Il Cantori Moderni chorus of Alessandroni and what we have here is a classic in every sense of the word. Its one of those rare soundtrack moments when you are never tempted to reach for the fast forward button or to jump a track, the listener will just sit and do what they are meant to do Listen, from track 1 through to track 35 and then play the disc again. The central theme is the core or backbone of the work, it is infectious and appealing and the composer utilises the composition or arrangements and elements of it throughout the score each time it is a delight because the composer keeps it fresh, vibrant and effervescent on each appearance. This is a must have compact disc, its contents being, dramatic, exciting, emotional and extremely pleasing and entertaining. I only hope that more Marchetti is on its way. Highly recommended.
The Last snows of Spring/The Tree with Pink Leaves.
Three Franco Micalizzi soundtracks on 2 compacts discs, this is a real stunning collection of the Maestro's finest work for cinema. Three romantically laced scores which all compliment each other perfectly and make for a wonderful listening experience for any fan of the composer or any Italian film music enthusiast. All are from the 1970s which was a particularly fruitful period for Micalizzi, during this period he created some of Italian cinemas most memorable soundtracks and was involved with numerous popular movies of all genres. Micalizzi established himself quickly as composer who was consistently good at delivering a top notch score no matter what type of film it was. The first score featured on this Digit movies release is THE LAST SNOWS OF SPRING which was released into cinemas in 1973, this was a popular movie throughout Europe and the soundtrack sold well in Italy as well as outside of that countries borders. This tearjerker of a film was even advertised on UK television as was the soundtrack album that got a limited UK release on K-Tel records. Ok nowadays it would probably be relegated to late night cable television if it was indeed shown at all as time has not been kind to it and now it is looked upon as a sentimental and syrupy example of 1970s cinema. With a fresh faced child actor Renato Cestie taking the part of a boy who's Mother has died and refuses to accept his Fathers new partner. The score however has managed to stand the test of time and even now sounds as bright and melodic as it did way back when I first heard it on the RCA Original Cast LP which I purchased from Michael Jones in London. Micalizzi,s gift for melody is evident in the first flourishes of the films love theme. The CD release includes the 13 original album tracks, plus we are treated to a further 10 cues which were not before issued in any format until now, Micalizzi, manages to create an atmospheric as well as heartrending sound throughout the score, via use of the string section, harpsichord, guitar, piano and also subtly placed woods which not only support but enhance the many swelling string flourishes that send a shiver up ones spine as they rise and fall throughout the work. There is also a song on the soundtrack, CRIANCA, performed by Trio de Paula and Gino Marinuzzi which I would compare to the style of Antonino Carlos Jobim, as it has a definite Brazilian sound about it.
Micalizzi also utilises a jazz sounding organ which can be heard at its most effective during track number 12-VODKA PER DUE, when it is showcased alongside harpsichord and percussion. This is a score that one will never tire of and I am sure will be returned to on many occasions. Next up is The lesser known, THE TREE WITH THE PINK LEAVES, a film in many ways similar to THE LAST SNOWS OF SPRING, a tearjerker involving a young male child (Renato Cestie) and his sadness about the break up of his parents, a sadness that eventually drives him to run away but tragedy strikes and he is involved in an accident and sadly dies for this movie Micalizzi again created a suitably emotive score, in which he utilises solo guitar that is supported heavily by strings and woodwind. There are certainly similarities between the two score, I suppose there would be as they were both written by the same composer almost back to back, THE TREE WITH PINK LEAVES was released in 1974. The highlight cue for me from this soundtrack is track number 26 on disc 1, FAVOLA which is a combination of strings, harpsichord and soothing sounding woodwinds that are punctuated by piano and guitar; it is a sheer delight and one of Micalizzi's most haunting pieces. Originally released on Cinevox records, the LP has now become sought after by collectors, not just for the music it contains but also for its vibrant and eye arresting art work some of which is reproduced for this CD release. The soundtrack is spread over two discs and runs from track number 24 to 28 on disc one and then continues tracks 1 through to 5 on disc two, a score that contains light jazz orientated cues with sleepy sounding trumpet being lifted by sentimental strings, romantically infused pieces and some cues that mange to be mysterious yet highly harmonious. Again a wonderful score, which will be firm favourite of collectors old and new. The third score on this collection, has never been issued in its complete form before, a few tracks appeared back in 1976 on a Franco Micalizzi best of collection, that was released on RCA in Italy and also a 45rpm single did get a release, THE WHITE HORSES OF SUMMER again is a tearjerker, and involves yet another sad tale about a young boy, who when holidaying in Italy falls from a cliff and badly injures himself, but through this accident brings together his parents. This score by Micalizzi, is quite stunning, full of melody, and also features the stunning soaring wordless vocals of Edda Dell Orso, this release features no less than 19 tracks which are pure unadulterated romantically Micalizzi. Delicate piano solos, soaring strings, beautiful female voice, charming themes and a delightful song all go to make up a rewarding and enriching listening experience, I recommend this one of Digitmovies latest releases whole heartedly I just hope that more Franco Micalizzi soundtracks will be made available on compact disc, as he is certainly one of those unsung heroes of film music. Packaged very well by Digitmovies with notes by Claudio Fuiano, and clear and very crisp sound. This is certainly one for the collection.
Franco Micalizzi
Oggi a me domani a te
I have always found Lavagnino scored westerns to be a fusion of American and Italian styles, by this I mean we get the larger scale orchestral flourishes that one would normally associate with the likes of Dimitri Tiomkin, Max Steiner etc, plus the catchy and rhythmic themes or passages that can be linked with Italian scoring approaches to the genre. This particular score is very welcome on compact disc. I was particularly pleased as I do recall going to see the movie back in the 70s and thinking that maybe the film was a little slow and thus found it difficult to pick out Lavagnino's work, and at that time did not really appreciating it in conjunction with the images up on screen. I just could not understand why the final showdown was not scored but remained minus music? However after a few years I did see the movie once more and being older and a more seasoned collector of soundtracks and also understanding better the mechanics of film music I took on board the way in which the music did integrate and work with the films storyline, this is in no way a traditionally scored spaghetti, if there is such a thing? There are certainly very few of the musical trademarks present that we so readily identify with the genre, i.e., whistling, electric guitar solos, female voice or choir but what we have instead is more classical sounding western score, that includes a theme with a catchy hook, various saloon pieces, a number of near atonal action/drama cues I say near atonal as they still seem to retain elements that are musical and have tonality, a tender and poignant love theme plus a sprinkling of short almost martial sounding takes on the scores opening or central theme, and also an alternate theme that has a military style. Lavagnino makes excellent use of percussion throughout, rumbling kettledrums acting as an ominous sounding background to tense strings and a threatening organ rift. Track 14 for me personally is a highlight as it is here I feel traditional American western score meets Italian western in a somewhat low key but effective fashion. This certainly is a score that should have been issued onto CD as it is an important one within the collection of works that can be categorized as the genre of spaghetti western soundtrack. Sound quality is superb, how do Digitmovies achieve this top quality sound with items over 40 years old? Presented wonderfully with eye catching artwork and informative notes included. One to add to your collection.

DIO PERDONI LA MIA PISTOLA and ANCHE DJANGO LA CAROGNE HANNO UN PREZZO.
Composer Vasco Vassil Kojucharov was born in Bulgaria, but decided to make his home in Italy. He studied initially in Sofia then moved onto Moscow where he furthered his musical education at the conservatory there under the watchful gaze of Aram Khachaturian. After a number of years conducting the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra the composer continued to study withFranco Ferrara at the legendary conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Italy, his ties with Italy were strengthened when he began to compose music for the cinema and collaborated with Maestro Nino Rota. The Italian composer frequently praising and spotlighting Kojucharov's artistry and strength as a composer and conductor. Kojucharov's music is something of an unknown quantity amongst collectors, the reason for this being the lack of recordings that are available. Thankfully BEAT records in Rome has partly remedied this by releasing a handful of compact discs containing his music from Italian made westerns. This is one of the latest additions to the BEAT catalogue and boasts two western scores, DIO PERDONI LA MIA PISTOLA and ANCHE DJANGO LA CAROGNE HANNO UN PREZZO. Both scores contain many of the standard musical trademarks that we all now associate with the spaghetti western score and the genre as a whole, and in a number of ways the style that the composer employs is not a millions miles away from the style and sound achieved by composers such as De Masi, Cipriani, Lavagnino and Fidenco. His use of solo trumpet combined with harmonica (performed by Franco De Gemini) and rich sounding electric guitar is stunning and evokes memories of the origins of the Italian western score. The composer also utilises strings and percussion to great effect, the strings either underlining the composition or sweeping it forward, whilst the percussion acts as a perfect enhancement and background to the proceedings, augmenting and punctuating with dramatic and booming force. Each score has fine thematic properties and highly melodic cues which the composer develops and repeats from time to time in differing arrangements or maybe faster tempo or at times downbeat versions of each scores central theme can be heard. Both soundtracks are worthy additions to any collection, and I am confident that once heard you will be returning this disc to the player for regular outings. I look forward to more music from Maestro Kojucharov very soon. Maybe his excellent score for DJANGO THE BASTARD will one day get a release.

September 29th was National Coffee Day and I celebrated with songs about coffee or tea – some of them peripherally, I confess. I also tossed in a few highly-caffeinated performances and songs. If caffeine songs don't work, I may have to consider paying my audience to stay awake.
Did you miss the show? You might want to increase your caffeine intake so you can stick with me. Click here and then click on my name in the drop-down menu to listen to last week's show.


During a home inspection the home inspector will most likely start their inspection on the outside of the home. The exterior inspection is broken up into many categories. These categories include siding, windows, doors, trim, landscaping and grading, garage and carports, retaining walls, and around the house. Each of these categories are broken up into sub-categories through the home inspection report.
For example, there are many different types of siding. Therefore, the home inspector will be looking for different things depending on the type of siding. Types of siding include vinyl siding, metal siding, wood siding, brick and stone facings, brick veneer, clay or slate shingles, stucco, asbestos cement, and asphalt composition. Here is a brief list of what the home inspector is looking for when inspecting different types of siding.
While inspecting the trim the home inspector will be looking for loose nails, or missing pieces, proper installation, painting and caulking, broken or split pieces, and wood rot.
While inspecting the windows the home inspector will be checking for missing flashing, rotted framing, sagging header, rusted or rotting lintel, storms and screens, loose or missing caulking, discolored or missing glazing.
While inspecting the doors the home inspector will be checking for storm and screen doors, headers, framing, door operation, caulking, and door condition.
During the inspection of porches the home inspector is looking for safety hazards in railings and steps. They are also checking the roof structure to look for sagging and leaking in roof and ceiling, deteriorating supports, decaying floors.
During a deck inspection the home inspector is looking for floorboard spacing, wood rot, safety hazards on steps and railings, loose fastenings to house, finish stain and treatments, deteriorating supports.
While inspecting a balcony the home inspector is checking for wood rot, water penetration at junction with house, safety hazards on railings and balusters, shaking, tilting and sagging.


Here you have another super easy and delicious recipe! These are the Potato Wedges you saw on my last video with the Fish! I hope you like them!
This is the perfect side dish, or if you are like me, they also make the perfect snack to watch some TV! Enjoy!
Then add in the potato wedges and toss until every potato wedge is well season with this mixture.
Once they are well seasoned, place them in a large baking sheet, spread them on an even layer, then sprinkel them with a pinch of salt and pepper and bake them at 400ºF for about 30 minutes or until they are cooked..
Once they are cooked, top them with more fresh cilantro, toss with the fresh cilantro and they are ready to be served.


Recently I've been asked for an interview with a colleague Andrew who runs a very successful logo design blog. It was pretty exciting to see that he also managed to interview a ton of really good designers, some of which were practically my career role models.
Bojan Stefanovic is owner and art director of studio Logoholik. He is an award-winning visual identity specialist, Skilled in print and digital, focusing on brand identity design for the last ten years.
He has accumulated experience and expertise from art director positions at Belgrade's finest design studios and ad agencies which has allow him to take complex projects from concept to design and all the way through to production and development.
Over 100 logos and identities recognized and published in more than 15 international design publications including Logolounge and Taschen logo design books.
Bojan is also a father of two, an absolute optimist.
Bojan Stefanovic – Thanks, Andrew. I'm game. Let's do this!.
Bojan Stefanovic – Apart from cliché story about drawing and doodling from when I remember the time one thing always fascinated me – typography and later on layout/visual form of everyday things. I worked my way through primary and high school almost exclusively on neatly designed workbooks. Used to spend my afterschool time rewriting class work. It somehow triggered A's from teachers, they assumed I learned all that stuff in the process.
That was before DTP software arrived… When I first laid my eye on a crisp clear 800x600px res on 15in CRT screen with shining Helvetica, I knew that's my future call. Since life in former Yugoslavia was not so perfect in my days, no budget for fancy colleges (or that was just my laziness back then I pushed my design career in slightly harder way – not through formal education, but through working with mentors – from offset print house, prepress studio, junior designer positions at design studios all the way to art director in established advertising agencies in Belgrade, Serbia.
It was a Pleasure to feature you Brojan!
Thanks again Andrew! The sheer concentration of pure talent of the people in your interview series is mind blowing. Keep it up!

PC (Personal computer) - one of the most popular home platforms and the only one which doesn't offer playing video games as its main purpose. PC was born in the 1970s, but it is impossible to give an exact moment of its birth or even a name of its creator. However, IBM is the one who gave computers their present shape, using, at the beginning of the 1980s, an idea of open architecture – which is today one of the most important differences between computers and consoles.The foundations of PC as a gaming platform are currently systems of digital distribution of video games (Steam, Origin, Uplay) and MMO games that mostly work in f2p (free-to-play) model.

This was about two and a half years ago but we did get a shiny new Moen shower head for my bridal shower and since Kelly and I lived in an apartment we held off using it until we bought a house. Well, even after buying our first home the shower head we were given went unused. Thank you Bed Bath and Beyond for being so understanding and letting me exchange my shower head for one that we could use...two years after the gift was given!
Here is what we had before. A fixed Speakman shower head with a second shower head attachmnet that we could remove, you can see why using the Moen shower head that had a cord of its own would just be too much. I think we would risk getting tangled and possible strangulation (yes I know, a little dramatic!).
I know you are staring at the pink tile. Stop it right this instant! One day, if I have my way it will all be beautiful white subway tile, this takes guts that I do not yet possess. I will say that installing this shower head was super easy, I would show you how it was done but it really involved unscrewing some of those fasteners and then screwing them back in.
So shiny :) I love it and now you must forgive me for not sticking around this morning because I have a date with some pink tile a shiny Waterpik.
I heard about waterpik showerhead but don't try for a while. Shanna, can you please share your feedback about waterpik showerhead? I am interested to buy a brand new waterpik.

Gehry's Design for Toronto's New, Tallest Towers Moving Forward, Says Developer
Sculptural canopies will emerge from one side of each tower's base.

The 81- and 91-story structures, planned for the heart of downtown Toronto, will become the city's tallest buildings.

KEYWORDS tall buildings / Toronto
Architects & Firms
Gehry Partners
The biggest project of Frank Gehry's career is moving ahead in his hometown of Toronto—and reaching new heights for the architect and for the city.
Known as Mirvish + Gehry, the mixed-use complex reached a milestone in January when developers submitted a final version of the scheme for city approval. It features a pair of irregularly shaped towers that dance their way up to 1,079 and 990 feet tall.
The project was launched in 2012 by David Mirvish, a theater producer and art collector whose father, retailer Ed Mirvish (a longtime friend of Gehry's), began acquiring the downtown property half a century ago. David Mirvish's initial proposal for three towers faced vocal opposition from city planners for its density in this crowded area and because it would have meant demolishing the 2,000-seat Princess of Wales Theatre. After Mirvish reduced the project to two towers and agreed to save the theater, he won city approval in 2014. Mirvish sold the development to Great Gulf and its partners Westdale Properties and Dream corporation in 2017.
If completed, the 1.84 million-square-foot complex would be the largest and the tallest Gehry has built so far, substantially taller than his Spruce Street tower in New York, which is 890 feet high. The two buildings, 91 and 81 stories respectively, will have a dominant place in the skyline—edging out a planned Foster & Partners tower called the One, slated for completion in 2022, and the 1975 First Canada Place office tower by Edward Durell Stone—to become the tallest buildings in Toronto.
Gehry was born Frank Goldberg in the Canadian city in 1929, and lived there until moving to Los Angeles in his teens. For him, the project has personal resonance. "I feel good about Toronto and about my Canadian roots," he said in an interview. "My DNA still wobbles when I get here."
Gehry has imagined two distinct and distinctive towers, reaching out to each other with sculptural canopies that span a side street. Each is basically L-shaped in plan but expands as it rises, with cantilevered bumpouts. Both buildings comprise offset blocks that evoke the form of nearby lofts. "I'm trying to break it up and show that you can do towers that relate to the scale of the old city of Toronto," Gehry said.
The design of the complex sees the architect in a collagist mode. The facades include flat curtain wall, a rippling metal surface that Gehry likens to a waterfall, and metal cladding (either titanium or stainless steel) with punched windows. "The variety of materials was important, so the buildings don't read like every other skyline glass thing," said Gehry, "and I think having the two buildings talk to each other—that's an opportunity you don't get very often."
Luxury condos will occupy the bulk of the towers, along with a 209-room hotel in the west tower. The development also includes a theater, studios, and classrooms for OCAD University's (formerly the Ontario College of Art and Design) visual-arts program, and retail space. David Nam, a partner at Gehry Partners who is overseeing the project, compares it to Rockefeller Center in its scale and variety of uses.
The project's long gestation has raised questions about whether it will actually proceed; now the developers say they plan to begin marketing condo units this year. The other concern is whether meaningful architecture can survive the cost pressures of the development process. "It's tight, but it can be done," Gehry said. "Most developer clients are just afraid of the unknown. If you do something slightly different, they ask, is this going to have a cost impact? But if you can prove it won't, and if the changes you make are adding value, which they are, then why not?"

Hey, I like your illustration for this week. Children are great predenders. Just give them a mask and costume and they're set!
What a wonderfully mystical magic this illustration has. Takes my breath away....it's absolutely lovely!
beautiful work - really dreamy and poetic - wonderful!
This is very nice! A little mysterious, a little sinister, a little innocent. Great colors!
Beautiful! Beautiful illustration! Like the atmosphere, it's so poetic! The colours are very interesting and beautiful!
Beautiful and creative illustration. Your work is such a light, or breath of fresh air.
it reminds me of a midsummers night dream... maybe its the masks? Lovely, and fun to see the original drawing along with the finished piece.
Lisa took the words right out of my mouth with this one. Like something out of a dream! It's so dreamy and beautiful! Great job. Love it!
I want one of those tails! Please?
I love the subtle colour play in your works.
I really love the concept and the composition! The trees give it a lot of depth.
what a treat to see the beginning sketch. Lovely work!
your illustrations are always so beautiful and inspiring!
It always amazes me what you come up with! Besides the overall wonderfulness, I especially love the way you handled the hands and feet, and just looooove the way the trees blend into gold against the purple blend of the background. They positively glow!
Kathy, I'm so glad I checked in! It's beautiful and it reminds me of the Renaissance. Beautiful color, design and idea!
oh oh oh. This is wonderful! I love the colors of the background, purple and pink and magical.
thankyou everyone, for all of your kind comments..
Oh, my! This is so beautiful! (happy sigh).
WOW! Just beautiful. Love your 'Wise' submission as well.
Interesting choice to leave the mask white. I think it is effective.
Please forgive me for being so bold, but my latest illustration on my blog includes a hare in it. I would be honored if you took the time to take a peek at it.
Oops! I just read the previous comment but I already tagged you over on my blog - guess you've been double teamed. Don't feel obligated if you're not into these things or you're just plain busy.
By the way, I love your character hiding behind the tree - the costume and pinned on tail.
This is absolutely magical! You've captured so much spirit in this one Kathy! Bravo!
Ooooh, this is like a beautiful opera! Fantastic costumes. They look completely and happily lost in their pretend world.
Kathy, I adore your work! How long does it take to complete a small piece, let's say, 8"x11" versus a 16"x20"? Just curious. I know how work intensive color pencil can be. Once again, it was lovely visiting your sight on this cold and snowy day in Pennsylvania (USA)!
Indigene, thankyou for your lovely comment. most of my colour pencil illustrations take about two days to complete, depending on how detailed the backgrounds are. I usually build up the colours layer upon layer which is very time consuming! I actually think that the hardest part is at the beginning when I am making the initial sketches.
Its very cold here too but we haven't had any snow yet..

No official meetings for Kosovo's Haradinaj in the US
By M.Pajaziti/ Published on: 10/04/2019
The US government's request for Kosovo to suspend the tax on imports coming from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and the refusal of Kosovo's Prime Minister, Ramush Haradinaj to do so, seems to have strained relations between the two countries.
This has also been seen during the latest visit that Kosovo's Prime Minister held in Washington and New York, where he was received by almost no official of the US State Department.
Although prior to the visit, the government of Kosovo announced that PM Haradinaj would hold meetings with senior US officials, no official meetings were held.
The head of the government only had a meeting with Kosovo's ambassador to Washington, Vlora Çitaku and a few other meetings with members of the Albanian-American community.
The US Embassy has often called on the suspension of the tax and for dialogue with Serbia to continue.
"A comprehensive agreement is in the best interest of the United States. If Kosovo or any other country engages in actions which go against our strategic interests, then they will face the consequences", reads the latest statement issued by the US Embassy to Pristina.
The United States is encouraging Pristina and Belgrade to negotiate the best possible agreement, said Matthew Palmer Deputy Assistant Secretary of State on Tuesday from Tirana.
According to him, "the U.S. is not advocating a particular outcome of the negotiating process, what we do advocate for is an agreement between Belgrade and Pristina that secures the full normalization of the relationship between Serbia and Kosovo".
However, dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade is not expected to resume if trade barriers are not lifted first.
On the other hand, PM Hardinaj has often reiterated that the tax on imports coming from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina will remain in force until Kosovo is recognized by Serbia as an independent state. /ibna/

A 52-year-old Indonesian woman identified as Nining Sunarsih, who was on vacation in Sukabumi, West Java, when she was swept away by a strong wave on Citepus Beach, has been found.
The lady who was presumed dead by authorities when she was washed away by the strong wave in January last year, turned up alive on the same beach – 18 months later. At the time, eyewitnesses said they heard the woman screaming and waving her hands for help but they were too scared to go in to help.
Search and rescue operations didn't find any sign of her until a week after the tragic disappearance when a dead body was discovered in the area. They asked Nining's family to come and identify the body, and even though it was reportedly in very bad condition, her relatives were convinced that it wasn't her, because it lacked a distinctive birthmark on the abdomen, and the fingernails looked very different.
It was gathered that her family who never gave up hope of finding her alive, returned to the same beach on Saturday after her father began having mysterious dreams and found her lying unconscious on the sand, wearing the same clothes as on the night she vanished. The family began searching in the early evening and at first were unsuccessful, but discovered Sunarsih around midnight.
She was discovered by her sister – who was one of the people who had watched her disappear. According to reports Sunarsih was unconscious, fully clothed, and around 500m (1,600ft) from where she initially vanished.
Sunarsih has since been taken to hospital, where doctors say her vital signs are stable and she is expected to make a full recovery. It was further gathered that she has since regained consciousness and has been able to eat and drink, but is so far unable to talk – meaning nobody has been able to question her about what happened and where she has been.

Global Anti-Corruption Consortium
Stories & Analysis
The Global Anti-Corruption Consortium is a ground-breaking partnership that brings together investigative reporting from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and advocacy driven by Transparency International.
Please accept marketing cookies to view this video.
Paul Radu, Co-Founder and Chief of Innovation, OCCRP
Externally hosted content may include ads. These aren't endorsed by or reflect Transparency International's views.
What's at stake?
Investigative journalists and civil society groups have a critical role to play in documenting and proving corruption. Investigative journalism is about finding out the truth and publishing it regardless of any inconvenience caused to governments, politicians or other public persons. It seeks not to affect direct change but affect those directing change with impartial information. Civil society activists, for their part, target decision-makers and institutions to advocate and campaign for change.
All the while, tycoons, corrupt officials and criminal networks are highly organised and coordinated in their attempts to profit and evade scrutiny, journalists and civil society have often worked in silos.
In an increasingly complex world, strategic alliances between anti-corruption actors are vital to meaningfully fight back against the global scourge of corruption.
What we're doing about it
The Global Anti-Corruption connects Transparency International's global anti-corruption movement with experienced networks of OCCRP's investigative reporters across the world. Our partnership allows knowledge and evidence generated through OCCRP's corruption investigations to inform and strengthen our policy and legal advocacy.
Since 2016, OCCRP and Transparency International have successfully leveraged their global reach to spotlight cross-border corruption and demand change. With dozens of in-depth investigations published annually, the partnership has allowed Transparency International to push for policy change and legal action in a number of cases.
Tackling cross-border, grand corruption means exposing the systems that allow hundreds of billions of dollars to be siphoned off from natural resources and state funds; as well as addressing the ramifications for low- and middle-income countries.
It means exposing the perpetrators, professional enablers and loopholes that facilitate the illicit flow of money; fighting for the key changes needed in low- and middle-income countries held back as a result; and pushing for justice to ensure accountability, good governance and sustainable development.
The Global Anti-Corruption Consortium is guided by three broad thematic priorities: money laundering in the global web of Western financial systems; state capture; and natural resource exploitation through grand corruption.
With a growing constellation of partners that bring distinct media, advocacy, tech and legal angles to bear, the Global Anti-Corruption Consortium is an inclusive partnership that aims to work with many collaborators.
The Azerbaijani Laundromat
OCCRP's Azerbaijani Laundromat investigation revealed a US$2.9 billion money- laundering operation and slush fund run by Azerbaijan's ruling elite. Run through four shell companies registered in the UK, with billions passing through Danske Bank – Denmark's biggest bank – the money bought silence or praise from European politicians in influential human rights bodies, as well as from journalists and representatives of international organisations.
Over the same two-year period, the government imprisoned more than 90 human rights activists, opposition members and journalists on politically motivated charges.
Investigative journalists identified delegates of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) among the ultimate recipients of the laundered money.
Transparency International rallied public pressure, presented European and national policymakers with evidence of reputation laundering and advocated for an independent investigation into allegations of corruption at the PACE. Resignations at the highest levels of the PACE followed almost immediately. A year later, PACE's independent external investigation found numerous breaches of codes of conduct and, in some cases, corrupt activities.
A year ago, a massive leak of bank records showed that the ruling elite of #Azerbaijan ran a US$2.9B slush fund and an international $$ laundering scheme. At the heart of the scandal was @PACE_News. Has justice been served after the Azerbaijani #Laundromat?https://t.co/IHpq76ZKQH — Transparency International (@anticorruption) 01 October 2018
In March 2019, Transparency International Germany filed criminal complaints against the current and former members of the German Bundestag over alleged bribery. In January 2020, the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt am Main, Germany opened an investigation into these parliamentarians.
The Azerbaijani Laundromat also provided evidence to push for greater accountability of Western financial institutions facilitating these schemes, and tougher EU-wide anti-money laundering supervision.
Golden visas & passports
When Transparency International first started scrutinising EU investment migration schemes – known as 'golden visas and passports' – it was not common to see these as a threat to global anti-corruption efforts. Isolated corruption stories in individual countries were casually dismissed by governments that were benefiting from the substantial revenues these schemes were raising.
Then, OCCRP's Gold for Visas investigations illustrated rampant sale of EU citizenship and residency to the ultra-rich with few checks.
New investigation from @OCCRP & @Guardian shows #Cyprus's #GoldenVisas scheme is the main avenue for wealthy businessmen to get EU passports. Occasionally individuals charged with corruption will also slip in. > https://t.co/2G2aMNk6j8 https://t.co/uqQm80Ph04 — Transparency International (@anticorruption) 04 March 2018
Armed with cases across the continent and in-depth analysis, in 2018 and 2019, Transparency International and Global Witness made the case for an EU-wide reform.
While we soon convinced the EU to take notice, reforms have stalled. Transparency International kept up the pressure, and the campaign saw a breakthrough in the final months of 2020.
Following the Cyprus Papers investigations by Al Jazeera, Cypriot government ended its citizenship-by-investment programme. The European Commission – just like we had recommended – initiated legal action against Cyprus and Malta, with an eye towards banning investor citizenship schemes in the EU.
The Great Gambia Heist
Yahya Jammeh ruled The Gambia for 22 long years. The Great Gambia Heist investigations exposed how he and his cronies allegedly looted government funds, draining state-owned enterprises, the country's pension fund and natural resources.
In 2019, OCCRP documented the previously unknown scale of grand corruption under Jammeh. Acting with impunity, his government looted the country's assets, committed egregious human rights violations and passed repressive laws to disempower citizens.
On the heel of these investigations, Transparency International and local civil society group Gambia Participates engaged with communities through an innovative 'participatory video' filmmaking technique. The resulting film contains stories that serve as testimonies to the human cost of corruption and to people's perseverance.
Following its screening, the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) invited three people interviewed in the film to testify about the harm they had suffered. The film was shown at two TRRC hearings to direct the line of questioning and admitted as evidence, leading to two former officials being questioned.
In July 2020 – following a submission we made the year before – the US Department of Justice began proceedings to confiscate a property connected to Jammeh.
The Global Anti-Corruption Consortium is currently supported by the governments of Denmark, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States as well as the Open Society Foundations. Governments of Argentina, Australia and Norway also supported the Consortium previously.

Category: ent * Individual results may vary.
I have been going to Comprehensive ENT for a very long time, so I figured I should write a review. The front desk staff is always nice and welcoming. Dr. Leeman and the audiologist are great! I have never received such thorough care anywhere else, that's why I keep coming back.
Dr. Leeman, I wanted to write you a personal note to let you know how much I appreciate the good work you did for me when you performed my sinus surgery. I've been sick for years with infections, labored breathing and all of the complications that went with my condition made my life difficult. I had diminished energy and had difficulty working because of that. I've also been depressed from being sick all of the time. I've had a hard time getting going in the morning. Because of your work, I already have more energy. I can enjoy food and smell flowers. I feel stronger and more able to deal with life. Thank you so much for serving me.
Dr. Leeman, here is special thanks to a man who makes this world a better place. Thank you for being so kind to me, and for taking such good care of me!
Dr. Leeman, I just wanted to thank you for being so kind to Al. You are the sweetest person. You have gifted us with a fun memory, pulling him up into that box for his hearing test and back out again. What Dr. Would ever do that! You are a very special and approachable man to be so, so smart. I trust you so much! And feel blessed to have come to know you. I think you know my sinuses better than anyone! Ha! We think very highly of you.
Very expedient, the team was concise, efficient and pleasant. I understand my condition and i feel my doctor has a clear understanding of why my expected outcomes should be. I think this clearly defines our relationship and our expectations.
Doc Leeman, your work was nothing but excellent. It just feels like it's going to for once in the last few decades work properly. As for the sinus septoplasty and nasal reconstruction, I would like to say thank you. I appreciate all of the quality work that you did for me. I feel safe in knowing that you did the septoplasty and nasal reconstruction. I can see that you take great pride in your work and are very capable at your craft. It has certainly been an honor being worked on by you. I find you to be a very professional, capable, intelligent individual that seems to be caring. And for treating me in those ways, I would again like to say thank you very much and I truthfully appreciate every single thing that you have done for me.
Dr. Leeman and his staff are the best health care professionals out all of the medical personnel I see on a year round basis.
Dr. Leeman, Just a line to thank you for being so kind to me. You're a terrific doctor!
Dr. Leeman is the most wonderful doctor in the world! He treats my family for several things and we have so much trust in him! The staff are fantastic...we would not go to anyone else...we love him and the whole bunch!
The most wonderful doctor in the world!
Although I arrived early for my appointment, the staff actually took time from their lunch hour to see me because I was there. I am and have always been extremely impressed with the professional and courteous care that I receive at your clinic.
Everything went very quickly. Everyone was very friendly. The doctor offered a lot of information and advice. Excellent visit.
Every time I have been to Comp ENT I have felt very comfortable and Dr. Leeman is a wonderful doctor.
We started our doctor-patient relationship in the mid 2000's to address my recurring sinus infection issues (20 years+). As a result, about 5-6 years ago, Dr. Leeman conducted deviated septum/turbinate reduction surgery successfully on me. My sinus issues have been minimal since. Changed my life, will always be grateful!

How to Deal With Demanding Customers
by Molly Thompson
Be patient and friendly with demanding customers.

1 Interview Question: How Would You Calm Down a Confrontational Customer?
2 Etiquette For Waiters
3 Problem Solving Steps in Customer Service
4 Say Goodbye to Customers
Keeping customers satisfied is the primary job requirement of customer service personnel, whether in a store, restaurant, order center or other environment. At some point in a customer service career, you'll face demanding, dissatisfied or otherwise difficult customers. How you handle these situations can make the difference between retaining a customer who appreciates your ameliorative efforts or unleashing a torrent of criticism when an unhappy customer rages about your business to his friends.
Remain respectful and courteous at all times when dealing with difficult customers. Look them in the eye, listen to their concerns and be sure you understand why they are dissatisfied. Do not raise your voice or show anger, and try to keep the situation from escalating.
Display empathy and offer a sincere apology. This does not mean you're admitting to wrongdoing or accepting blame for a problem, but it gives legitimacy to the customer's feelings and helps defuse the situation. Do not be patronizing, as this is likely to further aggravate the unhappy customer.
Ask the customer politely what he would like you to do to resolve the problem. If his request is within your ability to fulfill, tell him you will take care of it, then do so immediately. If not, tell him you cannot do what he is asking, but you are able to offer an alternative resolution. Attempt to come to agreement on a satisfactory response to his concerns.
Offer to bring in your supervisor or the manager to help the customer, if you're unable to calm him or offer a solution he deems acceptable. Some demanding customers are soothed simply by having someone in authority hear them out or handle their concerns personally.
Consider sending a follow-up letter to the customer shortly after the difficult encounter. Thank him for his patronage, apologize again for his inconvenience and include a discount coupon or gift card, along with your invitation to give your business a second chance.
If a customer leaves angry or you have a conflict with a well-regarded, regular client, be sure to inform your boss promptly about what happened so she can take follow-up action to salvage the situation.
