Linda Hamilton in CHUCK - Season 4 | ©2011 NBC/Mitchell Haaseth

Linda Hamilton in CHUCK - Season 4 | ©2011 NBC/Mitchell Haaseth

Linda Hamilton is an actress that needs no introduction. The woman who helped define strong female archetype roles for women in cinema is most famous for her portrayal of Sarah Connor in THE TERMINATOR and TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY. Hamilton is a beautiful, intelligent and strong woman, but most who would expect her to be like her “tough-as-nails” screen heroine are in for a surprise. The actress is actually a free spirit, and a self-proclaimed Hippie with a quick smile and fantastic sense of humor.

ASSIGNMENT X was lucky enough to get the chance to talk to Hamilton this week in Part 1 of this exclusive interview about her latest acting job as the Spy mother of the title character of the NBC series CHUCK. Hamilton opens up about how she got involved in the show, what twists and turns in her character’s development have surprised her, and whether or not she will be back for another season.
ASSIGNMENT X: How did you come to CHUCK?

LINDA HAMILTON: It was a lucky accident, and the fans have heard this before but, I was at an autograph convention and a fan in line asked me if I was going to be doing CHUCK? I didn’t even know what CHUCK was at that time, but there had been a rumor circulating that they were bringing on the character of Chuck’s mom, and that I might be lined up to play that. I had never heard that rumor so I said, “no, not at all.” Then two weeks later I got a call from my agent telling me they had submitted me for CHUCK. I wish they had told me! [Laughs] They submitted me and I went in and met Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedack; the rest as they say is history.

AX: What drew you to the character?

HAMILTON: I love the attitude. I love the silliness, the “not taking itself too seriously.” That is my middle name, Linda “I Don’t Take Myself too Seriously” Hamilton. So I love that whole feel of the show. Its light on it’s feet, and it’s funny and dramatic, and glamorous. I just love all of that mixed together.

AX: You came onto the show this season, and the other actors have been on it for a few years. What is it like joining a cast during a series that is already established?

HAMILTON: It always feels strange to do that and to be the outsider. As an actor I think I can generally say that we’re a pretty insecure group of people. [Laughs] I’m not really insecure but I did feel the enormity of the job I had to do. It was a little intimidating. Everyone on that show is wonderful! I would like that to be my whole life-long job. Truly, I love the people on that show.
AX: Your character underwent some changes as the season progressed. Was all of that given to you up front or was it parceled out over each episode?

HAMILTON: Episode by episode. I swear to you I had no idea if I was a good girl or a bad girl for about the first seven episodes that I did. People would ask me if I was good or bad and I told them I didn’t know. I asked the show runners and they didn’t know. [Laughs] I was walking a thin line. The complexities of what they work out, even though the show is light on its feet, are amazing as to where the characters are going and who they are. They have to work really hard to pull it all together, and so I think it took a while to bring it all in.

AX: Are you pleased with the journey character has taken this season and where she has ended up?

HAMILTON: Yes! Being a late comer to the show I didn’t know how it was going to work out. Now I have a better understanding of how they work things, and generally the men on that show are the funny ones. It’s Morgan [Joshua Gomez] or Chuck [Zachary Levi]. Sarah [Yvonne Strahovski] is sort of the strong leading man type. [Laughs] Then this year Timothy Dalton. He was a big surprise and he’s hysterical. So I hope that I get to go a little bit more in that direction.

I remember the first few days and the mountains and mountains of dialogue coming out of my mouth. I was nervous as hell. I really was. I remember my very first day in a car and I had just grabbed Chuck after I’ve shot him. I told him, “I shot you to protect you”, which is still one of my favorite lines I’ve ever gotten to say. I had to say to Zachary, “please turn the radio down”, because he was cranking it up in between takes in the car. [Laughs] I didn’t think I was going to make the day, because of all the stuff I had to say. Then I watched other actors come onto the show and go through the same thing. Now of course, it’s chill and I can do anything with any kind of concentration break. That first day though I begged Zach and told him the next week he could play the radio as loud as he wanted to, but I told him he had to be more quiet so I could remember my lines!

AX: You were back in this week’s episode – can you confirm or deny whether you will be in the season finale?

HAMILTON: Absolutely back for the finale!

AX: Would you be up for returning for another season?

HAMILTON: That’s a funny way of asking if I was killed at the end of the season. [Laughs] I’m looking forward to going back next year. I want even more! It’s hard once you’ve started to sit back and not do them. There have been times when they called me and told me I wasn’t doing the next three episodes, and I wondered what I was going to do with myself for the next month?! You aren’t free to look for other work. It’s interesting to go from doing an episode to not doing two or three. It’s interesting to try and fid your balance. You work your ass off and then you don’t work for three weeks, and then you work your ass off, and then you don’t work for a week. So I’m learning how to do that. My favorite job description would be to be on CHUCK every week.

AX: So you’ve enjoyed returning to network TV?

HAMILTON: I did. I liken it to having a baby. Women for centuries have said that God takes the memory of the birth away so that you can have another child, because if you remembered how hard it was and how difficult, you would never have a second child. That’s what I feel like doing a TV series. It had been, lord, twenty years or so since I did BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and that was my last TV show. I had forgotten how much it takes – those sixteen hour days with an hour commute on each end. That’s on a Tuesday, and then you have to continue to come in the rest of the week. I just thought “Holy Mother of God!” [Laughs] But, I love being on the show and being on the Warner Bros.  lot. I’ve done a lot of smaller stuff on lots, but this is the longest time I’ve shot on one. I love going to Warner Bros. everyday!

AX: There is a rumor going around that your character is Vivian Volkoff’s mother. Even though your character supposedly never had relations with Volkoff?

HAMILTON: I cannot confirm or deny those rumors, but I think that’s a wonderful direction! I would be the last to know, but I have thought about that same thing because Vivian looks a bit like me. We’ll see what happens! They’ve done such a great job with the Volkoff story.

AX: What’s your favorite part about being on CHUCK?

HAMILTON: For me it’s the comedy. Anytime they give me anything funny to do I’m all over it. Zach has the most amazing timing and the greatest rhythm. I have a lot to learn from these people. I love to watch him and Joshua Gomez go at it. They’re just delightful. I enjoy the fact that we get to do all the stunt stuff and wear false eyelashes. It’s a great mix that way.

AX: CHUCK brings on a lot of famous genre actors. Have you sat on set in between takes and traded war stories?

HAMILTON: Yeah, Robert Englund was brilliant and he was a lot of fun! Who could ever not appreciate where they are, when they are sitting with Robert? I made a huge play for Timothy Dalton and he ignored me. [Laughs] I think I terrify him! But it is great fun. And who isn’t curious about Nicole Richie? I love her style and its all fun.

“It got picked up for thirteen apparently,” said Hamilton. “I haven’t confirmed that. It was one of those things where I wanted to call my people and ask if it’s true even though they sent it to me.

Nonprofit Employment Practices Analysis: How to Use the Data to Finish 2017 Strong and Prepare for 2018

As you begin to consider your organization’s strategic and budgetary plans for 2018, ask yourself: will you have the right people and the right talent strategies in place to achieve your mission? This year, the biggest takeaway from our annual Nonprofit Employment Practices Survey focused on the fact that competition for talent is heating up...
budgetary plans

As you begin to consider your organization’s strategic and budgetary plans for 2018, ask yourself: will you have the right people and the right talent strategies in place to achieve your mission?

This year, the biggest takeaway from our annual Nonprofit Employment Practices Survey focused on the fact that competition for talent is heating up between nonprofits and for-profits, due in part to the growth of social enterprise and purpose-driven sectors. In 2015 and 2016 our survey showed that nonprofit hiring was happening at a faster pace than in the for-profit space, but this year, it’s clear that gap is narrowing. The percentage of nonprofits planning to hire shrunk seven percentage points over the last year, from 57 to 50 percent. At the same time, the percentage of for-profit companies planning to hire grew four percentage points, from 36 percent to 40 percent––the best it has been in a decade.

But the growth of purpose-driven business and increasing competition for talent with the private sector isn’t the only talent-related concern that nonprofit organizations need to keep top of mind as they look toward 2018. Our country’s tumultuous political climate is affecting nonprofit funding and creating more need for healthy, sustainable organizations. As the importance of nonprofits continues to grow and become more urgent, and your organization is asked to do even more with even less, prioritizing your people will be more necessary than ever.

Keeping our latest Nonprofit Employment Practices survey findings in mind, here’s what you can do in the final quarter of 2017 to better prepare for 2018:

1. Develop or revisit and improve talent acquisition, retention and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies.

Securing, engaging and retaining high performing leadership and staff who are engaged and aligned with your culture and mission should be a top priority for your organization. This will be even more important in the year ahead as for-profit competition for mission-driven talent continues to heat up.

That said, we recognize that, according to the 2017 Nonprofit Employment Practices Survey, 64 percent of nonprofits don’t have a formal recruitment strategy. If your organization is among this group, make it a priority to consider how you currently approach talent acquisition and how you might improve in 2018. If your organization is among the 36 percent of nonprofits with a recruitment strategy already in place, consider revisiting and revising that strategy and your employer brand in order to remain competitive against for-profit employers.

Unfortunately, recruitment isn’t the only area where most nonprofits are lacking a strategy. The vast majority––81 percent––of social sector organizations don’t have a retention strategy either.

This is especially problematic because the job market is projected to continue to improve into 2018. Nonprofit employees who were once content with their roles at your organization may find themselves with new options in the year ahead, especially as some for-profits become more aggressive about poaching “passive” yet purpose-driven jobseekers from the social sector. January is the most popular month for job changes, and organizations without solid retention and engagement strategies may be left scrambling to refill crucial roles when the new year begins. Don’t delay. Develop a retention and engagement strategy now to ensure you’re positioned to keep critical team members on board in the coming months and beyond.

And while most nonprofit leaders identify diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as top management priorities, our 2017 survey found that almost half of nonprofits don’t actually have a DEI strategy in place. Diverse and inclusive work environments don’t develop by accident. They require intentional decision-making and strategic investment. If your organization does not already have a formal DEI strategy in place, there is no better time to start developing one than now.

2. Align your talent strategies with your organization’s strategic plan.

As you develop your organization’s strategic plan and priorities for 2018, your talent strategies, like the ones discussed above, must be aligned with it. Remember: talent is the most critical element in achieving your organization’s mission and should be prioritized in your overall strategic plan. Now is the time to ask yourself and your leadership team: do our plans and budgets for talent and culture truly reflect the goals we have for the year ahead?

Prioritizing investments in talent requires more than simply making funds available for competitive salaries. Making time for basic recruitment activities and HR administration isn’t enough, either. The most impactful nonprofits recognize the importance of investing in culture initiatives, leadership development, performance management, talent analytics and more. They also focus on using data to drive investments in these areas.

Does your talent strategy include plans to invest time and resources in areas like these, as required by your organization’s big picture strategic goals or theory of change?

3. Advocate for an increased investment in talent.

After you put talent strategies in place that are aligned with your organization’s broader strategic plan, the next step is appealing to your leadership, board and funders for a greater investment in talent and culture. Present decision makers with your plans and the data to support them now, so that, when budgets are developed for 2018 and beyond, initiatives to support and develop talent are prioritized as well.

If you’re struggling to find the budget to support all the talent and culture initiatives you’d like to pursue in the year ahead, you’re not alone. Historically, less than one percent of nonprofit funding has been spent on nonprofit talent, and just 0.03 percent of annual spending sector-wide is allocated to leadership development. And according to the 2017 Nonprofit Employment Practices Survey, the greatest talent challenge nonprofits face is hiring qualified staff within a limited budget, followed by matching salaries with market demands.

Securing adequate budgets for talent and culture initiatives is often an uphill battle, but positioning your retention, recruitment, DEI and compensation strategies in the context of your organization’s broader strategic plan and long-term sustainability can make all the difference.

4. Be realistic. Choose one or two of the areas above to focus on over the next year.

We understand that your organization faces challenges every day, and improving your approach to talent and culture is just a piece of the puzzle. To avoid losing focus on other priorities or becoming overwhelmed, choose one key area you would like to focus on in the months ahead (like recruitment, retention, culture or DEI) and build from there.

You can learn from sub-sectors that are doing well in the specific areas you would most like to improve. For example, our survey found that arts, culture and humanities organizations are most likely to have effective retention strategies in place, and health organizations are most likely to have effective recruitment strategies. Connect with leaders of organizations in these sub-sectors to learn more about their initiatives and let their examples be your guide.

To help you along the way, we recommend attending events, round table discussions, webinars and more with a focus on the area or areas you most want to improve. This year, many of the speakers at our annual Nonprofit Talent and Culture Summit will discuss how organizations can leverage the power of talent and culture to continue to be more impactful — especially in our current political and economic climate. We also host regular webinars and Interact for Impact events on topics related to talent management that can provide further guidance for your organization.

George Benson

George Benson

Even after nearly a lifetime as a performer, acclaimed guitarist-singer George Benson strives to stay in the moment each time he takes the stage.

With a career that spans jazz, R&B, soul and funk, the 10-time Grammy-winner waits until he’s in front of an audience before deciding on the direction of his set.

“I draw from the energy coming from the audience and play what I think they will enjoy most at the particular time,” says Benson, who performs 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26, at the Superstar Theater at Resorts Casino Hotel.

“I like variety, and I like dipping into different aspects of my recording career and pulling out stuff that’s been tested over the years. I make sure the people that come are glad they came. My goal is to make sure this experience is one they will enjoy and remember.”

This approach also helps to engage Benson, who gave one of his very first performances at the age of 7, playing ukulele in front of a corner drugstore in his native Pittsburgh.

“I got bored with the same thing all over again,” he says. “There are no two nights the same because of the improvisational aspect. I have musicians that can improv very well and a great rhythm section. I don’t stop cats from being who they are.”

Benson himself has been fortunate in being able to explore his musical identity as an instrumentalist and a vocalist over the course of his six-decades-long career. He recorded his first tracks at the age of 10, and by age 21 had released his first headlining album, “The New Boss Guitar of George Benson.”

He continued in the jazz vein throughout the 1960s and early ’70s, working with the likes of Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and Stanley Turrentine.

His pop success came in the mid-’70s with his album, “Breezin’,” which topped the Billboard pop, R&B and jazz charts, and allowed him to move back and forth among different genres.

“I was so glad to get an audience, because I had been playing nightclubs with maybe three people in the place,” he recalls. “The jazz clubs had really gone downhill at the time, unless you were Miles Davis or a super jazz artist.”

“Breezin’” also yielded one of Benson’s biggest hit singles, “This Masquerade,” which won the 1977 Grammy for “Record of the Year.”

“It sold gobs of records,” he says. “It changed everything.”

Benson would go on to record many more pop and R&B hits over the next decade, including “The Greatest Love of All,” “On Broadway,” “Love All the Hurt Away” and “Turn Your Love Around.”

The hits naturally figure prominently in his live shows.

“If you get a hit record, you better be ready to play it, because this is what they’re going to be asking for,” he says. “I had a lot of incredibly nice songs that were well produced that I don’t mind performing them again. It’s a joy that people still love them after all these years.”

While the songs may remain the same, Benson’s solos will be different every time. There’s a risk to mixing things up, he acknowledges, but also hopefully a reward.

“It might be good or might be mediocre, but I’m always searching for excellence,” he says. “I’m digging deep, trying to find something that will knock folks out. That’s what jazz does.

“You don’t know what you’re going to get, but it’s fun trying to get there.”

Why Nat King Cole is still Benson’s musical king

The iconic singer Nat King Cole, who was also an acclaimed pianist, helped provide a career model for guitarist-vocalist George Benson to pursue his own hybrid musical identity.

Benson officially got to pay tribute to his idol with his 2013 album, “Inspiration: A Tribute to Nat King Cole.”

“He was always my No. 1 cat — I thought he was the best of the best,” he says. “He was a fantastic musician, and as a singer, he was in a class by himself. At a time when it was almost impossible, he crossed over to other genres with ease, and I always wanted to be like that.”

New 50-Mile PR at the Beautiful Fall 50m USATF Road National Championships

Last Saturday, I had the great pleasure of joining 670+ runners for the 9th annual Fall 50 in Sturgeon Bay, WI, this year’s USATF 50-Mile Road National Championship. We had an epic day of fast running and smiles, much in thanks to optimal weather, great competition and race organization, and one of the best post-race parties in our sport! I was thrilled to come away with a 7th place finish, a new 50-mile PR (6:11), and my second USATF Masters National title this year. But most of all, I will cherish the charm and embrace of this wonderful slice of Wisconsin community that kept a smile on my face from the moment I walked off the plane. It is definitely worthy of a visit!

The Fall 50 has been around for years as a local favorite relay race (450 runners were here for the relay, which sold out in one hour!), but it first hit my radar when it became the site for the USATF 50-Mile National Championships for 2014/15. I recalled when local Wisconsin hero (and American/World Record Holder) Zach Bitter had set the course record with a blazing 5:28 in 2011, and suspected it was a PR-worthy course. It turns out that thanks to Zach, Race Director and Founder Sean Ryan, USATF evangelist and Wisconsin running hero Roy Pirrung, and hard working Door County representatives, the race quickly went from a seasonal running celebration to the main stage. A perfect excuse to check out a part of the USA I have never seen!

Straight up , y’all…Wisconsin has got to be one of the nicest communities in America. From dah endless tank youse fer comin' to their little town, to Dennis and Bonnie Statz at the White Lane Inn bed and breakfast who would settle for nothing less than a live band in the living room post-race, the runner-shaped cookies, quilts, and signs that filled the stores...this lakeside town couldn’t possibly have been more welcome. I instinctively adopted their "Oh, geez" and "Watcha doin', hey" lingo as the relay vans arrived in droves with costume-clad runners, praising the "fair to middlin' good weath-har, as sure as God made little green apples". SOOOO awesome...I couldn't get enough! I felt like I made 20 new best friends by the time I picked up my race packet. Regardless of the race outcome, the trip was already golden.

(Door County is known for its amazing Fall colors)
Come race mornin', I was feeling peaked and ready, much in thanks to having six weeks of semi-employment that allowed for long runs and afternoon naps with the dogs. My 10-day taper produced all kinds of weird niggles and tightness, a sure sign the body was building up. The mind and heart were in a good place too - humble and grateful to have my health and an excuse to adventure with my fellow running warriors. The road ultra is a particularly challenging venture, since many of us will be at top speed on unforgiving surfaces for the entire race. It is the asphalt crucible from which, as we have learned through trial of pain and blood, springs the purest fountain of humility and grace. GAME ON.

As we boarded the buses to the start, I immediately spotted Team Adidas runner Dr. Josh Brimhall (yes, that's "Dr. Brimhall" - Phd in Education, who knew? Respect, yo!). We passed the time in the dark ride north talking about his expansion of the Red Rock Running Company empire, my crazy experiences doing data science for Eaze (the Uber of Medical Marijuana...definitely a "growth" industry), and his meticulously planned sub-5:50 goal for today (whoa!). We only had a few short minutes to get prepped before they sent us off at 7am.

(Getting ready at the start - slight breeze, low 50's, just right!)
(I am fashion-challenged, but ready to go!)
(And we're off!!!)
Up front, Zach Bitter and Tyler Sigl set the pace, which us mortals were best to leave alone. Zach is the American Record holder in the 100-mile (11:47) and Tyler had clocked three 2:19 marathons and a 5:27 trail 50-miler in the last two years, and both runners were rumored to have a "sub-5 hour 50-miler" goal. Holy Cri-yiy! (as the locals would say) A pack of five began chasing behind them, including former winner Mark Thompson, Twin Cities speedster Mike Bialick, Josh Brimhall, and a few others. I settled in with the lead women, including Mill Valley, CA's Larisa Dannis tuning up for the IAU 100k World Championship in a few weeks, Team USA Olympic triathlon member Dr. Bennett Isabella, and some first-time 50-milers on a 7 min/mile pace in the next pack.

As the sun rose up in the first 10 miles, the hillsides lit up with orange, amber, and gold. Door County is a majesty of American beauty! The wind spun leaves all around us, and endless V’s of geese honked ensemble against the headwinds as we padded our way down the remote highway. It was easy to just kick back in our groove and knock out the miles. My pace partners Bennett and Indiana's Justin Kowalski kept the conversation light, and made for a good target to catch up to when I manually refilled at the aid stations. The hills were just about right - not giants, but big enough to shift your muscle groups regularly.

(The sun warms up the autumn leaves)
By mile 24, Bennett and Justin shifted down a gear as Larisa started to crank it up and come by us. I let her set the pace for a few miles, and we yapped about how deep Team USA is at the 100k Worlds for both men and women this year (Zach Bitter, Max King, Michael Wardian, Zach Miller, Matt Flaherty, Joe Binder, Pam Smith, Meghan Arbogast, Amy Sproston, Cassie Scallon, Emily Harrison...the list goes on). Two guys blazed by us, and I thought for sure the relay teams had been released, but it turned out to be Josh Brimhall and Mike Bialick who had gone a few miles off course due to sign sabotage. Josh decided to ease up on his original goal and coast it in (note - this is still a sub-6 hour pace for Josh), while Mike just got pissed off and ran like a banshee. Zach Bitter also took a wrong turn, and decided to drop and save up for 100k Worlds. There you go, folks - the three ways one can react to a wrong turn!

(Bennett leads us through the park)
I hit the marathon mark in 3:06, and then the 50k mark in 3:40, and allowed myself to daydream of lowering my 50-Mile PR of 6:35 set last year. I started getting a little dizzy at mile 34, and Josh (ahem, sorry...Dr. Brimhall!) was nice enough to wait at an aid station for me, prompt me to calorie up, and run a few miles together to get me on the right track. We talked about the best music to listen to while running, which is always a great subject. Josh's joy of the music spectrum knew no bounds, as long as nothing repeated itself. I, on the other hand, am known to repeat the same guitar solo over and over for hours in my head. Right now, it was Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love (the weird bridge part with all the echo). "Great song!" he said, and with that, he took off in the distance. Whoops...maybe I should have mentioned a slower song!

(Aid stations were well stocked, and well run!)
(Adding a little color)
As we weaved up and down some short hills (mile 39 being the toughest) and the endless straights between corn fields, the locals would yell out our place, which ranged from 5th to 9th. I suspected I was somewhere around 8th place and the second Master, after watching some guy with a M50-55 bib take off with the second pack in the first two miles. Knowing he was out there was pushing me hard, since I know a lot can go wrong in these races. My pace had slowed to 7:30 min/miles, and Josh was still within sight, pulling me like a kite. I focused on my form, letting the Zeppelin whirlwind keep my tempo going.

(Home stretch)
At the last aid station (mile 46), I still hadn't seen my Masters adversary, and my body was screaming to ease up the pace (in a "you better carry toilet paper if you're going to keep doing this" sort of way). I gulped down some watered Coke, and one of the spectators, a crew member for a runner about 10 minutes behind me, gave me a pat on the back and said "you show those youngsters!". I let him know there was a 50+ year old ahead of me schooling me, and he said "no, dude...that guy is about ten minutes BEHIND you...has been for 12 miles". What? Well, I better get moving then!!! So funny...I'm not sure which is the bigger motivator, being the hunter or the hunted. Wait, no, it's definitely the hunted! GO, GO, GO!!!

(Costumes were definitely encouraged)
(A beautiful day!)
I slowly pulled Josh into range as we coasted down the slight downhill in the last few miles, but as we approached the finishing chute, he still had a solid minute on me. I finished up in 6:11:55 for 7th place, a whopping 24 minute PR, and the announcer confirmed I was the first Master. YES! Josh was the 5th man (6:10:39, but did hit 50 miles in 5:53), so he got a payday too. We celebrated by puking the last of our gels in the grass and staggering to the finish tent to stare at food we could not yet eat. ;-)

(The Top Gun team pushed Maverick all 50 miles)
(Finishing up, feeling good!)
Tyler Sigl had won in 5:32, after holding a sub-5 hour pace for 32 miles. Wrong-turn Mike Bialick raged his way to 2nd (5:45), while former winner Mark Thompson (5:52) and Eric Tatge (5:53) also went under six hours. Larisa Dannis broke the Women's course record with a phenomenal 5:59, showing she is clearly ready for the 100k Worlds in a few weeks (good article about her race at RW, plus you can read her race report). Carolyn Smith (6:28) won the Women's Masters, also beating the previous Women's CR and making the Top 10. Wow, what a fast crew!

(The finisher tent was packed!)
(New 50-Mile Nat'l Champ and course record holder Larisa Dannis gets some love from RD Sean Ryan)
(Mark Thompson placed 3rd today, thanks to his crew)
(Tyler Sigl on stage with a pair of DJ's only Wisconsin would claim)
The post-race party was nothing short of insane. Runners packed the Oktoberfest-sized tent, enjoyed libations from a half dozen local breweries and wineries, and hit the dance floor to hunting cap-clad DJ's spinning the good stuff. RD Sean Ryan did an amazing job recognizing the winners, with special recognition to a group of runners who stopped their race to revive a guy who passed out. The medals were crazy huge, and I felt like Michael Phelps walking around with all my bling. As I kicked back with Bennett (who finished in an impressive 6:42) and his friends and family, we all remarked at how polished this event was from start to end. I can see why it's a local favorite, and suspect many more will be coming next year!

I have always enjoyed using the trail running Series like USATF, Montrail, Skyrunning, etc., to expand my geographic experiences, and when it turns out a gem like the Fall 50, I am nothing but smiles. My thanks to Sean Ryan and his amazing crew of volunteers, the people of Door County 'Sconsin, and my fellow runners for putting on a fantastic race. This one is WELL worth the trip, and I highly recommend it!

2014 Ironman World Championships in Kona Streaming Live Right Now (9am PST Sat)

If you're looking for some excitement this morning, be sure to check out the live stream of the 2014 Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, going on right now. Over 2,100 athletes are already in the water and going for it, and the Pro men are just getting out of the water to hit the Queen K bike course.

(Defending champions Mirinda Carfrae and Frederick Van Lierde have their work cut out for them)
The Pro races are really exciting this year. Can defending champion Frederick Van Lierde hold off a hungry Sebastian Kienle looking for redemption? Will gold medalist Jan Frodeno, thought by many to be the first rookie with a shot at winning, build on his three 70.3 wins this year? Will Paul Matthews, who has never run slower than an 8:06, beat his coach, the 3-time champ Craig Alexander who is back in form? Could Javier Gomez pull off the impossible and add a Kona win to his ITU World Championship and 70.3 World Championship this year? Oh yeah, there are 15 others capable of a podium finish...wow.

Defending Women's champion and course record holder Mirinda Carfrae is faster than ever and looking for her 3rd Kona win, but already has super-cyclists Rachel Joyce, Caroline Steffen, Liz Blatchford on her tail, and 70.3 champion Daniela Ryf and Canadian Heather Wurtele ready to crush the run. It's going to be great!

Hi there! I'm Audrey Ann.

I'm going to help you improve your photography skills and beautifully capture your everyday family life.

Welcome to Live Snap Love!

No matter whether you are just starting out on your photography journey, or are a little farther along the road, there's something here for you.

If you are here because....

+ You have no clue about what steps you need to take next, or how to go about getting the images you dream of.

+ You need help improving your photography skills, but are not sure how everything fits together.

+ You've been trawling the internet for tips, but so many photography tutorials just leave you scratching your head and thinking "WTF?!"

+ You are feeling your confidence and enthusiasm dwindle whilst you try to figure everything out.

+ You just feel stuck, and feel like you need a little push to get you going again!

Then I can help you take the next steps!

Learning photography doesn't need to be all dry and boring, trust me.

In this site, there's no heavy technical jargon, or sleep inducing tutorials, just step by step guides that teach you what you need to know in the simplest way possible.

I also get that many people who come to this site don't have hours to sit and learn photography (neither do i!) so it's all broken down in to bite sized manageable chunks.

If you are ready to improve your photography skills and start getting the images you dream of, then sign up for my free, seven day, email course. It's full of actionable steps, tips and tricks that will help  move you forward, whether you are a true beginner, or been shooting a while but would like some tips on how to take your images to the next level.

A little bit about me...

I'm Audrey Ann, and I am obsessed with teaching "mom" photographers how to beautifully capture their family and day to day lives.

So, how did I get started with photography?

Waaaaay back in 2007, I thought photography would be a pretty cool hobby to learn, so I got my first camera and enrolled in an open university course.

And HATED it.

The course was full of complicated jargon and theory (circle of confusion and refraction anyone?!) and I left it with a lot of knowledge about photography, but no real clue how to take good photographs.   Not exactly what I had in mind!

The camera sat gathering dust until my son was born.

I became obsessed with capturing our days together so read everything I could on the internet, before enrolling in a couple of courses, which helped tie all the strands together and helped it all make sense.

It was a long road, but so worth it! It's an amazing feeling when it all clicks and you can start to make the images you see in your head.

And now I want to help you take the images you dream of too!

Here at Live Snap Love you will find online courses, loads of free resources such as a free beginners course, a Facebook community, and much, much more - all designed to help you improve your photography skills.

Thanks so much for being here! I hope you love it 😍

Audrey Ann x

P.S If you want to see some of my favourite tools and resources that I personally use and love, click here!

Got a question?

Then get in touch and either myself or one of my team will get back to you.  Please note that due to the number of questions I receive I am unable to answer individual requests for advice (for example questions on what camera gear you should buy,  or advice on settings, or give any feedback on your photos) but if you have a question you'd like an answer to, leave it below and I can either answer it in a blog post or Live Stream.  Thank you!

10 Common Beginner Photography Questions - and Answers!

When you first start out in photography it seems like you have a million questions buzzing around in your head - how do people get those blurred background? Why is my subject out of focus? Why don't my portraits look good? Why do my images have that strange colour tint?

 So, in this post, I've tried to take the most common questions I've been asked from beginners over my (many!) years of blogging and teaching photography, and give you the answers! In most cases, I've linked to a post here on the blog which goes into more detail for you on that particular subject so you can get all the information you need.

Ready? Let's go!

Photography Tips for Beginners | 10 common beginner photography questions - and answers!

No...actually, wait.....before we get a crackin' with our 10 questions, I also want to let you know about the completely FREE seven day email course designed especially for new photographers called the Beginners Bootcamp. You can learn everything from how to shoot with intention, use effective composition, get tack sharp photos, and more! Click here to find out more or click on the image below to sign up! You could be getting your first lesson within the hour

Q1 - How do I get a those blurred backgrounds?

It's actually pretty easy to get those blurry backgrounds when you know how!

It's mainly due to switching to AV mode, and using a large aperture (smaller F number) to throw the background out of focus. You will also want to make sure your subject is a good distance away from the background, otherwise you won't get much blur.

I've written a full, step by step guide to getting a blurred background that should help you get those yummy backgrounds you are looking for (along with a free cheat sheet that you can print out so you don't forget a step whilst shooting) Click here to read the  guide to getting a blurred background

Q2 - Why is my subject soft and out of focus?

Having your subject out of focus can actually be due to a number of things, but the usual culprit for beginners is too slow a shutter speed, which results in a "soft" image due to motion blur.  In fact, your camera will regularly give you too slow a shutter speed when you shoot in AUTO, especially if you are shooting indoors, so it's a common problem!

Therefore, always try to make sure that your shutter speed is high enough.  As a rough guide, make sure you use a shutter speed of at least 1/125 for pictures of people, and much higher for activities where there is any kind of motion, like running about.   If you are photographing children, try not to fall below 1/250, even if they are relatively still - children are squirmy little monkeys that can take off at a moments notice, and having a higher shutter speed will help account for that!

If you don't know how to change your settings yet, try getting some more LIGHT onto the scene first. Move your subject closer to the window, or open up the curtains or pull up the blinds - anything that gets more light onto your subject will enable your camera to use a higher shutter speed even in AUTO.

If you are already shooting on AV mode, then choose a smaller F number, which gives you a larger aperture and therefore let's more light into the sensor, which in turn gives you a higher shutter speed!

Q3 - Which lens should I Invest in first?

Such a tricky question!

The most common "starter" lens after the kit lens is the 50mm F1.8 (either the Canon or the Nikon version depending on your camera model)

However, if you have a cropped frame and mainly shoot indoors, or you would prefer a zoom, then there are a few more options that might be better for you.

Read this guide to starter lenses to find out more of the available options.

Q4 - I've heard photographers shoot in RAW - do I need to?

This is personal choice, but my recommendation is that you should switch to RAW, but only after you have some basics down.

My reason for this advice is that you are far more likely to make exposure or white balance mistakes when you are still learning, and both of those are much easier to fix in RAW than in JPEG.

There is a downside to shooting in RAW, and that is that you have to edit your images a little, but all you need to do is add some contrast, saturation and sharpness to get a similar image that you would get in a JPEG.

If you don't feel ready to edit your images, don't make the switch yet.  But when you feel you are ready,  you can read more about how to make the transition to shooting in RAW right here.

Q5 - Why do my photos have a strange colour tint?

Any strange yellow or blue colour tints on your images will be due to an incorrect white balance.

White balance is simply the colour of light, and different types of light emit different colours.  It can either be cool, which is bluer, or warmer, which is more yellow.  Our eyes (clever things that they are) can "read" and adjust for different colours of light, so we don't see it in the same way, but our camera's need to "guess" at the temperature of the light and make changes accordingly. If it get's it wrong, your images will have that strange colour tint.

If you want to be sure of getting images with natural tones, then I suggest setting your white balance in camera.  The cheapest way to do this is to use a grey card - they cost around $10 and are worth every penny.

If you are not sure how to use one, don't worry, I've got you covered. You can read a step by step guide to using a grey card right here.

Q6 - I want my subject's eye to pop and sparkle! How can I get this?

You want something called "catchlights" in your subject's eye.  A catchlight is simply when you have  light being reflected in the eyes of your subject - they are the white areas you can see in the eyes in the example below.

They help to make your subject look alive, and give depth and life to any portrait - without them the eyes look lifeless and empty.  The good news is they are incredibly simple to achieve - it really is all about how you position your subject!

The easiest way to get catchlights is to simply ensure that your subject is facing into the light - if indoors, this would be toward the window or open door (tip - open doors give FABULOUS catchlights!) You'll see that their eyes catch the light and start to sparkle.

If outdoors, either look for open shade (where your subject is in shade looking out onto the light) or on an overcast day, looking slightly up.  If you are unsure, just look at your subject's eyes!  You will see the light reflecting in the eyes as you look at them - if you can't see it, keep turning your subject until the light hits them.

Remember to sign up for the FREE seven day Beginners Bootcamp where we get far more in depth about which light to use (and which light to avoid at all costs! :0)

Q7 - Why is my subject underexposed?

Your camera's default metering mode is evaluative, which attempts to "even out" the light in the image.  This can often result in a perfectly exposed background but an underexposed subject, especially if you have a strong light source BEHIND your subject.

Although the absolute best way to get good exposure is shoot in manual mode and spot meter from your subject, I understand you might not quite be ready for that yet 😀

The good news is you can also adjust the exposure when shooting in AV mode, using something called Exposure Compensation. It simply means that you are telling the camera to add MORE exposure to the scene, so that your subject becomes correctly exposed.

You can read more in depth about exposure compensation and how to use it here: How to Use Exposure Compensation

Q8 - Why pictures look grainy! Why is this?

Pictures that were taken with high ISO's will result in noise or grain in the images - that speckled look over an image which makes it less sharp and clear. The higher the ISO, the more noise there is likely to be. Here is my guide on how to reduce the noise in your images, either in camera, or in post processing.

Q9 - Do I really need to shoot in Manual Mode?

It's not absolutely essential, but it is definitely preferable.  My suggestion would be to spend at least a couple of weeks practising on manual mode, as I really think once you have done it, you will not want to change back!  But even if you do, you will always have that knowledge of shooting in manual mode, which actually helps you get better pictures in ANY mode.

It's scary at first, which is why this is something I cover step by step in my Auto to Awesome class so that you make the change very gradually, taking over one element at a time.  By making sure you understand what each element does individually, you will be better poised to take control. I promise after a few weeks you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner!

Q10 - How can I capture natural images of my children?

That's the million dollar question!  I love lifestyle and documentary photography, where there is no posing, and I find that is the best way to capture images of children - just letting them be who they are.  Try to interact with your children as much as possible too: I know that's hard when you are fiddling about with settings, but eventually that will become second nature to you, and you will then find that you become more attuned to capturing those moments since you are not so focused on your settings. Here is a guide to capturing lifestyle images of your own children, and also some 8 Tips and Tricks for Photographing Children

Remember, if you want a FREE course that will get you started with seven tutorials for getting better images (and in MUCH more depth than I can cover here) then sign up for my 7 day Beginners Bootcamp, where you get an actionable lesson delivered straight to your inbox every day for a week!

Saw a 3.5 cu ft front loader on the Amana website. List price is $599.00. This must be a Whirlpool right? I didn't think that they made a washer in that cu ft, the Duet sport is 3.7 cu ft. Anyone seen one of these; or used, or own one?

This is the former Maytag MAH6700 washer that was/is manufactured by Samsung. They're ok, I guess. I was never a big fan them though. I was really surprised when WP brought this washer to market. I just figured they's use the Sport design like they did for the Maytag EpicZ washer that is out now. They must have had a contract left over from Maytag, or they had a bunch in the warehouse that they just rebadged. Anyway, if it's what you want, buy it, i always say.

This program successfully copes with malware and advertising-supported software. Also, Spyhunter ensures removal of Express Find from internet browser and/or computer registry.

Having Spyhunter you may in fact see exactly where Express Find resides, and therefore you will eliminate it from all of the locations. This particular software is easy to use even for newcomers and individuals not having superior IT knowledge.

What Is Express Find?

Just as mentioned earlier, Express Find is a typical extension, but, it differs from other extensions as it enters computer system. Therefore, it is extremely tricky to take it off. Adware is usually secretly installed. Typically, you can find absolutely no warnings that you may install 3rd party applications or browser add-ons. At times, all these warnings happen to be unnoticeable in the set-up wizards. Therefore, a user installs required software, however on the background, advertising-supported software or adware is installed.

Moreover, these browser extensions impact registry entries as well as how web browsers look. For instance, the internet browser may all of a sudden have an additional bar with hotkeys and icons. When opening internet browser, you’ll likewise notice a lot of classifieds and popups that you do not want to have. Express Find makes the system slower, due to the fact adware needs to connect to a server to get info on the type of ads and popups to exhibit. In addition, new registry entries show up, which often complicate removal procedure.

Express Find Statistics
Data theft Statistics 95%
Registry keys creation 2,5%
Startup in OS 19%
Chance of manual removal 96,5%
Free Antivirus effectiveness 48,2%
Paid Antivirus effectiveness 78,1%
Risk of infection in the USA 1,3%
Risk of infection in Europe 1,2%

Express Find creates its registry keys or writes its program code straight into registry entries, therefore, it’s challenging to easily remove it. Of course, it’s possible, however this process usually requires much time. However, if the adware is removed from the web browser, it handles the issue at once.

Consequences of Having Express Find

Express Find might become a major problem, particularly for rookies. With this particular extension running in your system you will get:

  • completely different web browser homepage. Therefore, any time you fire up your internet browser, you will be rerouted to some weird webpage. Pretty irritating!
  • Express Find changes google results. You may never ever acquire correct search results. That negatively impacts pc user surfing experience.
  • System and internet browser efficiency happen to be influenced. Express Find can decelerate your system. All additional toolbars and services consume resources. Thus, you’ll notice that your Desktop is incredibly sluggish.
  • Corrupt pc registry files. A lot of entries happen to be impacted, and therefore it is really hard to clean them up.
  • Danger of other malware installation. There are odds that some other destructive applications could be set up, when you’ll be unaware.
  • Express Find may easily access sensitive info.

As you can notice, there are a lot of reasons why Express Find may threaten your Computer and therefore exactly why it must always be deleted.

How to Protect The Computer system Against Express Find?

You will find a number of recommendations to shield your pc against installing Express Find. The following are the best tips:

  • Don’t download software from suspicious web-sites. Pretty frequently, when searching for software, we come across dubious web-sites. You are not really certain you install the appropriate software. Instead, you install a handful of tools, download managers as well as extensions.
  • In case you assume that particular internet site could be dangerous, go away from it. The antivirus program may help.
  • Do not be in a hurry when downloading and installing computer software. Typically, just by clicking on Next you give a permission to install a lot of needless tools and add-ons. Examine notes, check out check-boxes, don’t be in a rush. It is preferable to abort installation, than to remove adware.
  • Consistently scan your computer for malware and also dubious programs.
Is it expensive to get rid of Express Find?
Removal Method Price
Uninstall manually $0
Free antivirus $0
Spyhunter $35-$55
Computer repair service $85-$155

Prices for antiviral programs begin from $40. It’s costly. Of course, you may try a cost-free antivirus or perhaps attempt to remove Express Find all on your own. You can find downsides of manual elimination. As an example, you can destroy registry entries and thus the operating system won’t work. No cost anti-virus programs aren’t effective and therefore often times can not detect a lot of destructive applications.

It is possible to bring your Personal computer to Personal computer repair shop. It’s probably the most expensive option. Additionally, specialists will guarantee that there will be hardly any malicious software on your Laptop or computer. If you only have an elementary Computer abilities it is suggested to get a trustworthy anti-virus program.

Firefox out and be cautious with extensions…

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Well, let’s start with the extensions first. Like ANY software, you should be cautious installing something from an untrusted source.

That much said…. never install an extension that comes attached as an unexpected email…. Apparently, [...]

29 Feb 2016: Still not there yet I'm afraid. The magazines should all be fine (because of the simple technology they used), and the picture galleries are coming together but I want them on the same page addresses as before so I avoid, as far as possible, broken links. That takes time to resolve I'm afraid. I've decided I need the galleries to be sorted at the same time as the magazines - because there are many links to them and that really need to work from the off.

26 Dec 2015: I've just been doing more planning and investigation around this and getting a better feel for what needs to be done and where. Many of the pages will be as they were but new linking and explaining pages will be needed in places. I plan to get the Magazines, Ashton book and History pages going first, then the galleries, where I am still investigating the best way to present them, and finally the old forum threads. The priority is getting the base information available rather then it always looking pretty with all the original links working as they did 15 years ago etc - some original technology wont be there so the clever links they allowed won't all work. But it's been interesting wandering around a site that ran between 1996 and 2011 and seeing again just all that was achieved - much good stuff! Next update in Feb 2016. And if I can say something before I will. But remember nobody pays a dime for this and I have a day job.

10 Nov 2015: I'd love to say that this is all in-hand and much work is being done etc, but it's not at the moment. It remains my intention to bring Balletco Archive back, but other things have priority just now. It is significant work to properly put Balletco into long term archive (striped of technology that can be attacked or needs constant update) and the priorities will be getting the magazines back on-line and the picture galleries. With those sorted I'll look at the other aspects of what became a sprawling and diverse site, including the old forum conversations. Look forward to saying more around Christmas. And if I can say something before I will.

12 Aug 20162015: The Ballet.co.uk Archive is having to move server to make it easier and less costly to look after for the longer term. It's going to take a while - do forgive us. Look forward to having more to say at the beginning of September.

Daniel Craig and Jude Law's awkward Baltimore conversation

Baltimore has been the backdrop for so many historic moments: the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner," Edgar Allan Poe's last bar crawl. Now, we can add another to the list.

It was here, in 2005, that the love triangle among British actors Daniel Craig, Jude Law and Sienna Miller came to a head.

Craig was in Baltimore to shoot "The Invasion," a forgettable reworking of "The Body Snatchers," when he received an unforgettable call from Law.

Law wanted to know why Craig was hooking up with his then-girlfriend, Miller.

To make it all the more unsavory, the call was apparently being tapped by staffers from the now-defunct, Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid, News of the World.

The revelation came during Law's testimony last week in the British phone-hacking case.

Law told the court that he and Craig "had known each other for many, many years, so the conversation took all sorts of turns," the London Evening Standard reports.

Law's call was not Craig's only dramatic phone conversation during his stint in Baltimore.

Craig was at the Whole Foods in Harbor East when he received the call informing him he had been chosen to be the new James Bond, according to the Daily Mail.

Dear Tax Talk,

My husband and I have not filed since 2007, and we want to file this year for all the years we missed. We do not have much money. He owned his own business and became sick.

How do we begin filing past due tax returns? Where do we start?

— Becky

Dear Becky,

I am sorry to hear about your husband and hope he is doing well.

The first thing you need to do is find copies of the last tax returns you and your husband filed, both personally and for his business, as they can help you figure out which tax forms you may need now. Then you need to get your tax records organized for each year that you have not filed.

I am unable to tell from your inquiry which tax forms your husband used to report his business income and expenses. You need to keep that information separate from your personal information.

The IRS has prior year forms on its website at, which you will need to complete for each year. If you need assistance, you can always go to your local IRS office and ask the employees to help you.

If you owe taxes, you may be subject to late filing penalties and failure to pay timely penalties unless you have reasonable cause for not filing or paying. If you need time to pay your taxes, you can complete the IRS Form 9465 Installment Agreement Request, which allows you to set up an installment arrangement. If you are unable to pay the full amount due, you may want to consider making an Offer in Compromise. The IRS has complete instructions and all the necessary forms in the Offer in Compromise Booklet Form 656-B.

If you are due a refund, the statute of limitations on the IRS giving it to you is three years from the due date of the return, so please keep that in mind.

Thanks for your question and all the best to you in tackling this project.

Sweet fellowship

Anytime you share life stories with other people, you know, you are acknowledging their humanity and kind of accessing some things about yourself, and other people start to expect things about themselves. It's kind of like a fellowship.~Jill Scott

One of the things I love to do is play tennis. I prefer playing outdoors but the rest of my family likes to play indoors, so when I can get one of them outside to play it is quite the accomplishment. During the early spring, the weather is mild and the fragrant trees are in bloom.  Once in a while, a wonderful scented cross breeze goes through the area where the courts are. When this happens it makes it an ideal condition to play tennis, especially when there is warm sunshine and mild temperatures.

 In fact, it is difficult to stop smiling sometimes when I play tennis outdoors, and I was told that I need to get a game face (which I am working on right now) to be taken seriously.  How easy to forget your cares on a beautiful sun filled day like this. This makes living in the Northwest worthwhile even though we don't always see the sun here, sometimes even for long stretches at a time. When the weather is good here it is really hard to stay indoors on a day off.

 Last July was one of those days.  My heart was heavy that day with all that was going on in the news at the time, and I had an injury on my right arm so it was painful to play tennis.  The weather was so beautiful that day that my daughter finally agreed to play.

During the spring and summer time you can often see friendly swallows flying around the outdoor tennis court area. The same 5 or so friendly swallows seem to play and dart around us as if they recognize us and are glad to see us. I know this sounds impossible,  but after that day I wondered, could these birds really recognize us and enjoy our company?

“Human fellowship
can go to great lengths,
but not all the way.
Fellowship with God
can go to
all lengths."

~ Oswald Chambers

I was really glad my daughter was there to witness an incredible moment that never happened before and has never happened again. We must of played on these courts over 30 times before and although we enjoyed the fellowship of these little birds darting past our net after every hit, I really didn't think they were responding to us personally!  We usually play for an hour and a half but that day we had to cut it really short due to my injury (tennis elbow), so admitting defeat we walked back to the car.  Just then, something remarkable happened! The same five swallows that dart back and forth across the nets when we played, circled us as we walked back to the car.  Each one gently circled us completely around, one at a time in complete order, alternating right to left about three feet from the ground.  Each one taking turns circling us exactly the same way.

Sweet fellowship

We never left without playing at least an hour and these little birds seemed to notice. I went online to see if this is normal behavior for a swallow and I found a blog that shows a game that they play with each other with a feather. I could not find any evidence that they recognize people or even know their routines.  So I probably wouldn't even share this without a witness and I would have wrote it off as a "Stephanie moment". :)

“Unity is necessary to the outpouring of the Spirit of God. If you have 120 volts of electricity coming into your house but you have broken wiring, you may turn on the switch, but nothing works – no lights come on, the stove doesn’t warm, the radio doesn’t turn on. Why? Because you have broken wiring. The power is ready to do its work…, but where there is broken wiring, there is no power. Unity is necessary among the children of God if we are going to know the flow of power…to see God do His wonders.”
~ A. W. Tozer

How many times are we so focused on our present circumstances that we don't even notice the sweet fellowship placed right in front of us?  I can image God delights in us too and circles us as if to say "I see you",
"I enjoy your company",
"I love you",
"why are you leaving"

Note to self...don't bring the dog when you play tennis!:)

Some of the most sweetest fellowships on earth are friendships, family and loved ones.  I'm sure the fellowships in heaven are even greater.

But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:7

In the Night-time Heat

In the night-time heat,
June bugs buzzing on the screen
- don't they know it's July? -
I sit motionless,
feeling the sweat roll down my chest.

I hear a car idling across the street
and wonder what it's doing there,
whether the occupants are perhaps
enjoying an air-conditioned respite
from their sweltering house,
or maybe they are moonlight lovers
sneaking in a sweaty rendezvous,
their temperatures rivaling the outside's.
Who knows what can happen on a night like this?
Murder, mayhem, music, booze, sex, drugs
all melting together on a sultry summer night
revolving in its own steamy torture.
Sleep won't come so a writer writes
and down in the heartless city
an old man dies of heat stroke.
Alone in the endless world.
