The BAND of the WEEK

THE KINKS


The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.





Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the group's 32-year run.

Kinks are recognized as one of the most important and influential rock acts of the era.

Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively.

Dalton was in turn replaced by Jim Rodford in 1978. Keyboardist Nicky Hopkins accompanied the band during studio sessions in the mid-1960s. Later, various keyboardists, including John Gosling and Ian Gibbons, were full-time members.

The Kinks had five Top 10 singles on the US Billboard chart. Nine of their albums charted in the Top 40.

The original four members of The Kinks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Kinks are recognized as one of the most important and influential rock acts of the 1960s.

Hockney Posters

David Hockney was on born 9 July 1937 in Bradford, Yorkshire. Painter, draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer and photographer, who is currently based in Bridlington, Yorkshire, although he also maintains a base in London and Los Angeles. An important contributor to the Pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the twentieth century.
I've always been a fan of David Hockney's work, through all the changes in style and exploration of colour and form applied to canvas that he has pursued over the years. Posters and prints of his work probably run into the hundreds by now, and I really like them. Here is a random selection:

Guest Post: A Few of My Favorite Things

+ Sun-kissed freckles. Not only are they adorable, they give me an excuse to go easy on the makeup all summer long.

+ Architectural salvage yards. I have this dream of living in a modern home, sprinkled with rustic details, like this sliding barn door.

+ Being feminine.

+ Big, thick, oversized glasses. I crush on a new pair every week.

+ Hats. My mom had me in all sorts of different styles from an early age. Right now I'm enamored of a classic fedora I picked during a trip to Sonoma, California.

+ Boy things, like flannel, hiking boots, oversized watches, broken-in jeans, and super soft T-shirts. I'm always stealing my fiancé's clothes!

+ Cats that do human things. Like this one.

+ Cheeky accessories. I'm a true nerd at heart, with a soft spot for dry humor. I love these playful mittens from Kate Spade. Gotta find a pair on eBay!

+ The best days start with two slices of avocado toast.

+ Designer Paul Rand. Get to know his work here.

Well, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were separated, and the representative of Heidi from the announcement Friday afternoon, like any celebrity couple "of others, in the hope of minimizing the public relations and fashion. As short as the history of civilization was, Heidi & Spencer a commitment ceremony in Mexico in November 2008. then held a lavish wedding in April 2009, which was also for her reality show filmed, The Hills have. get both a lot of Flack, that his first marriage was not legally binding (and the civil marriage that was wrong too) to follow, but reported an official license and must be for the second time these last few weeks we have a lot of rumors that the marriage of Heidi and Spencer was a year is in trouble.

The stories on the control of behavior increasingly erratic and Spencer, including the U.S. Weekly cover concentrated in two weeks "The Battle of Heidi: Did you brainwashed. "It seems hard to separate fact from fiction with this couple who win more interested as holders of public perception. The voices seem real, even though the break, and I thought that the stories passed through the walls Spencer . These two are not enough decent players to withdraw a complicated system. And now I'm lost - perhaps. Sounds like a half-ass in the air the ad. Heidi Montag "has by her husband, Spencer Pratt, TMZ has learned separately.


TMZ is representative Heidi Heidi tries to leave because of all the bad press controls false Spencer. She is tired of her and search the place and wants to concentrate on his acting career.

The people are reported as unconfirmed and it seems that Heidi not happy, but not yet ready to leave the relationship. If rejected, the search for an ad or a bit of both, remains to be seen. None of them seemed to be the head support what I think they were right made for each other. Everybody mad uneven . Spencer has a kind of Crystal Healing / kick military, while Heidi believes that all problems can be solved with the operation and make it unrecognizable. If both were very superficial and glory in search of work, but ..

Lindsay Lohan is a delusional narcissist fasting

After Fame Pictures, the new girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan continues its mission, so that only soft drinks, such as leaves Fred Segal in Santa Monica, CA 27th May 2010, Hide with a flamed orange juice over jeans SCRAM ankle bracelet with discretion. "Meanwhile, Lindsay clubs in the last two nights has gone.

http://ichalittlely.blogspot.com/

TMZ reported yesterday that Lindsay was up to 2 bar clock on Wednesday evening and this morning told People magazine that Lindsay was hopping New - no alcohol, but he looks nothing like a hole - not even an ankle bracelet monitoring can keep Lindsay Lohan on the club. taken with her new blonde hair, the star in Las Palmas in Los Angeles, clad in jeans and a hat. Laughter and smoke all night, avoiding alcohol and Lohan was honored with his group of friends. Lohan even danced around his office, Britney Spears sings during the busy evening.


[In] The people who go to clubs with Lindsay these people are? I mean, what is the budget? It's like the Boys Club to do with anything better? However, Lindsay has to notify his probation officer every night on the phone - the poor devil. Lindsay seems, is now at the Los Angeles club scene in Los Angeles, make sure that you want to use something beautiful, and tied everything wrong with the SCRAM bracelet. Then, at midnight last night, Lindsay foot "Chanel can please help me for stickers to put on my wrist so I can at least SCRAM wear a nice dress?" Hello? "X". A small hole.

Mark Hearld

Mark Hearld was born in York in 1974, where he continues to live and work. Hearld studied illustration at Glasgow School of Art followed by an MA in Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art.




Animals and plants have remained a constant source of inspiration to him, and are his most popular subjects. He has been greatly influenced by Picasso's style of spontaneous drawing; increasingly though it is the Englishness of Edward Bawden, Eric Ravilious and John Piper which has absorbed his attention, above all in his lithography and linocuts. He also produces unique paintings, collages and hand-painted ceramics.

View House, Argentina

View House, designed by Mark Lee of Los Angeles-based Johnston Marklee Architects and Diego Arraigada of Diego Arraigada Arquitecto, based in Rosario, the finished result is a generous 300 square metre home.







The intention was to maximize the relationship with the terrain, and to achieve this the curved façade is punctuated by a series of generous windows, deeply recessed to provide solar shading and a place to sit. Carefully sited so as to create views that are unsullied by neighbouring houses, the scale of the windows is also deceptive, effectively shrinking the perception of the house's overall size.







Inside, the aesthetic shifts and the space literally opens up. Thanks to white plastered walls, elegantly formed to accommodate curving walls and ceilings, and multiple levels, the interior is a labyrinth of vistas, slopes and unexpected reveals, all the way up to a roof deck. It's also smooth, cool and calm, in stark contrast to the rough concrete texture of the exterior.







The architects arrived at the final form by interpreting local planning demands their own way, dismissing the conventions of front and back to create an object that is read in the round, a piece of simple geometry intersected by basic forms. Not only has the house created an enhanced environment for the owners, but arguably improved its neighbours's views. Few structures are so aptly named.

The "D" Word

Today, I am going to be talking about
D I V O R C E.
This ring is a symbol of what?
What the Hell!



What is it r e a l l y a symbol of? I can honestly say that having a ring does NOT define my relationship with the sportsman. It is just a piece of jewelry to me.

I won't be getting into "Vows" today. Since currently I just don't give a shit.


I have recently read some other blogs where ppl are single and looking for love/relationship. What I’m talking about here only refers to ME.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t go out and find someone. I’m just thinking this whole permanent relationship thing might not be for ME.


So I have been thinking about this/my future for some time now. Divorcing my sportsman. This is a very difficult subject for me to write about.  Although for the most part I put it ALL out there when I write.


My reasons for considering this has nothing to do with any outside influence. It’s all about the Sportsman.


These reasons are not the typical ones that people would normally get divorced for. They are not because of infidelity, money, and/or lying. I suppose that could be seen as a positive thing and that it should have some bearing on my decision.



I have even done a freakin list of good vs bad. I have seriously tried to be reasonable in my thoughts.
But some things just fucking piss me off.




So here is the list of what has bothered me enough to even consider getting a divorce.


1. He has a cell phone, but he never fucking turns it on, or carries it with him.
This is a problem why? Hello I have a health condition; I need to be able to get a hold of him at all times. Just so you know I never call him. but the few times I do need to get ahold of him he doesn't freakin answer.

2. He refuses to go to the doctor for his snoring.
While this is # 1 a health issue that he refuses to seek treatment for, but #2 it also in my opinion has caused a gap between us in our relationship since we do not sleep in the same bed.

3. He needs to loose weight.
 Also another health issue. I don’t get it how men can go to the gym all the time and still be thick(pot belly) in the middle? What the heck!

I know your thinking that seems petty, but its not. Its about his fucking health. 


4. He has this tone in his voice that he uses with me, like no matter what I want to discuss I am totally annoying him.


5. He is a very passive/mellow man, so that means I have to be the “man” of the family 90% of the time. Who the hell has the time. To do it all.


So I know your probably thinking that these are pretty fucking lame excuses.

In my defense............................


How many times can you discuss something and not see a change and be ok with it?
5 times? 15 times? 100 times?
I have talked to him about every single one of these, and if he had made any attempt to rectify them I might not be considering this.


I want my man to step up, in times when necessary. Why is it that men have the balls but never seem to use them? (my opinion is not just based on the sportsmans behavior). I'm thinking I have bigger balls than most men I know.

What the fuck???


I am not here to bash the sportsman, or men in general. But………………………Until I change my mind I currently see them (MEN) good for only one thing and that is to fuck.

I get it that not all men are like this, but I can say that most of the men I have come in contact with are.



Roles reversal? Maybe

I am beginning to wonder If I am just one of those ppl who doesn’t belong in a relationship. I am after all a free spirit.


It’s no big secret I have been married two times before. Both only made it to 5 years. This time around I have been with the sportsman 12 years. We have been married 9 of those years.


I feel as if life is sooooo short and even shorter for some. So why should I stay in a relationship where It’s obvious I am not happy. Is it even possible for me to be happy? Maybe I have a mental illness and I should be locked up? Maybe I just belong a l o n e?

Or
Maybe I just keep settling.



I suppose this is








To be continued………………

Toby is here!

My darlings! As you may have guessed from the radio silence, I went into labor on Monday night, and, on Tuesday at lunchtime, we welcomed Tobias Paul Goddard-Williams into the world! He weighed 5 pounds 15 ounces and has blue eyes and brown hair. He is tiny and wrinkly and just the sweetest thing in the world. We are beside ourselves and completely in love.

I'll be taking the next month off to dote on the little man, and some guest posters will be here (I'll pop in now and again with baby photos!). Then I'll be back on July 1st and am looking forward to sharing more baby photos, the birth story, and regular posts, too, of course. Thank you so much. xo

Sending a huge kiss to you...and the whole world!!!

Love, Joanna, Alex, and (now) TobySource URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2010/05/

Veggies are for what?

I try really hard to eat right. My family buys a lot of shit at the freakin health food store, which by the way if you don’t already know. That shit is expensive. No wonder the U.S. has such a problem with ppl being over weight.



 Who the hell can afford to eat good. Seriously.


Anyways, did you know that there is also all kinds of organic hair, body, face, lips, and even baby care shit out there? I had no freakin idea.


So recently, while I was out “blowing money” as the sportsman likes to put it. I was about to buy a bottle of a $17 dollar something, and my daughter says “hey lets check out the organic stuff”. I was all “WHAT organic stuff”? So she opened my eyes to all kinds of new stuff.


In case your not aware of what organic means, here is the definition.


1. Organic: foods that are made in a way that limits or excludes the use of synthetic materials during production. The use of conventional non-organic pesticides. It means animals that are antibiotics and growth hormone free.
2. developing naturally: occurring or developing gradually and naturally, without being forced or contrived.


In the end I put back the $17 dollar bottle of shampoo and picked up the "Say Yes to Carrots" shampoo. Which also was cheaper.


There are several other different organic brands out there. I just happen to really like the “Say Yes” line.

Which is kinda funny since I rarely say "Yes" to anything except SEX. ha ha ha


"Say Yes", has Organic Carrot, Organic Sweet Potato, and Organic Pumpkin in it. YUMMY!


Now they also have shampoos and conditioners that have tomatoes in them for volumizing and cucumbers that are for color treated hair.


All of the shampoos in the “Say Yes” line are paraben free and SLS Free.


I have been using it for awhile now and I think it is just AWESOME. Oh, and did I say it smells great too? Well it does.


So I decided that I should share this information with YOU.

The best part is these products are not expensive.


I promise you won’t ever hear me pimp out any product unless I love it or am personally using it.


So if you’re looking for something new or are thinking of trying out some organic stuff. You should totally check out Say Yes to Carrots.



Or
 if you know of some other brand or products that are organic,
please share the l o v e.

You put what on your leg??????

If you remember not too long ago I talked about my moms cat, and how she had to shave it , they call it a "Lion" cut(to put this slimy medication on) cause it had ringworm. Go HERE If you need a refresher OR to see the freakin funny ass photo of her c a t.


In case you are not aware of what ring worm is, I will give you a little bit of 411.


Ringworm: a fungal disease of the skin, scalp, or nails in which intensely itchy ring-shaped patches develop.



Sounds yummy right.

So anyways, to back things up a bit. My mom had ringworm on her leg. That is how she found out the cat had it. Also cause there were huge chunks of the cats fur and skin falling off. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww


Now my mom has had it (the ringworm) since Jan, yes folks that is 5months. She went to the doctor and has been putting ointment on it. However that shit wasnt working, so she went back to the doctor a 2nd time, and they gave her a new script. That she did NOT get filled, why you ask? Cause it was like $60 and she refused to pay that much for ointment.


Might I also add that the cats ringworm has already cleared up.


Sooooooooo I am at her house this last weekend and she makes me swear I won’t tell my sister, but…………………….


She has been using the cat’s ointment for HER ringworm that she has on her leg. WTF??? Seriously.


After I quit laughing my ass off, I reminded her that if the tube says for dogs, cats, and horses then she probably should not be using it.

In her defense, it is finally clearing up her ring worm and I haven’t noticed any weird mental things going on with her, so she must be ok.


However, one never knows about lasting effects of using an animals medication.

(Other than the week before when we were all over at my moms house, she offered my nephew some sun flower seeds, my sister says "um I didnt see any in the kitchen where did you get those"? My mother replied, the bird seed bag.)

So should I be concerned? or is this an age thing to be a little quirky?


Let me add that while she has had the ringworm, I have not used the toilet at her house. Is that wrong? Does it make me a super germ freak? Of course.


But what the hell. I am not taking any chances on getting ringworm on my leg or vagina.


AS you can tell its freakin damn hard to get rid of.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2010/05/

Tate Modern

So Tate Modern is 10. Happy Birthday. One of my favourite London destinations; the trick is to get there late morning, take the lift to the 7th floor and start with lunch in the restaurant with fantastic views over the river and St. Pauls, then work your way down through the galleries and end up in the most comprehensive art bookshop in London.




Tate Modern in London is Britain's national museum of international modern art and is, with Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool, Tate St Ives, and Tate Online, part of the group now known simply as Tate.




The galleries are housed in the former Bankside Power Station, which was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect of Battersea Power Station, and built in two stages between 1947 and 1963. The power station closed in 1981. The building was converted by architects Herzog & de Meuron and contractors Carillion, after which it stood at 99m tall.





2000: Louise Bourgeois Maman, I Do, I Undo, I Redo

The collections in Tate Modern consist of works of international modern and contemporary art dating from 1900 onwards. The Tate Collection is on display on levels three and five of the building, while level four houses large temporary exhibitions and a small exhibition space on level two houses work by contemporary artists.





2002-3: Anish Kapoor Marsyas

The Turbine Hall, which once housed the electricity generators of the old power station, is five storeys tall with 3,400 square metres of floorspace. It is used to display large specially-commissioned works by contemporary artists, between October and March each year in a series sponsored by Unilever. This series was planned to last the gallery's first five years, but the popularity of the series has led to its extension until at least 2012.





2003-4: Olafur Eliasson The Weather Project





2005-6: Rachel Whiteread EMBANKMENT





2006-7: Carsten Höller Test Site
