I was nominated this year at the Latin Grammys and we assisted to Las Vegas to the event, I had 2 personal nominations as Best Album and Best Record of the year, also Andres Cepeda Album that I mixed was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and we won! (yeah!) so we have another Latin Grammy.
The experience was just wonderful, emotive, filled with emotions and great moments next to many friends and colleagues. We where very happy that we assisted, Being nominated was already great treat, but i cant lie that it feels nice to have won one :-)
Photo Stuff: I took my new (to me) Canon G15 compact, as at all these events, big cameras are a big No No, I have to say this little camera is a big surprise, not only practical, light and compact to carry, much nicer results than expected, Not my Full Frame Nikon D600 by any stretch, but got the job done, mostly shot RAW, developed in LR4
300 KIDS FLYING HIGH
SPECIAL QANTAS JUMBO FLIGHT FOR DISADVANTEGED KIDS
Over 300 special children took the ride of their lives on Saturday 11 November when The Rotary Club of Turramurra and Qantas Jumbo Joy Flight took off for a unique 60 minute flight over Sydney and its surrounds.
The children, aged from 4 to 18 years, were all physically or intellectually disabled, suffered from life-threatening illnesses or came from backgrounds where holidays are not possible.
Remarkably, The Rotary Club of Turramurra has been able to provide this wonderful event for 37 years assisted by organizations such as Qantas, Qantas Pathfinders, Shell, Sydney Airports Corp, Variable Data Print and McDonalds. While The Rotary Club of Turramurra is an active club providing money and manpower for many causes both locally and internationally, this excursion has always been of prime important on the calendar.
"Many of the children had the first flight of their lives and this created an atmosphere that is hard to describe," said Roger Norman, PR Director of The Rotary Club of Turramurra. "The smiles, laughter and excitement generated on the day make it a pretty marvelous experience for everyone."
The children were nominated from various children's charities such as Barnardos, Camp Breakaway, Ermington Family Learning Centre, Giant Steps, Heart Kids, Vision Australia, Royal Far West Children, Shepherd Centre, Stewart House, Taldumande Youth Services, The Spastic Centre Uniting Care Burnside and several special schools.

MercyMe is one of few Contemporary Christian music groups to have had all of their recordings certified Gold or Platinum, as well as garner 22 No.1 multi-format Christian radio singles, and four consecutive mainstream radio hits with “I Can Only Imagine,” (No. 4 AC/top 25 on Top 40/Hot AC), “Here With Me” (No. 4 AC), “Homesick” (top 10 AC), and “So Long Self.” In 2008 the band was named R&R’s Christian AC Artist of the Year, and as one of the industry’s most notable talents, MercyMe has sold out venues including Radio City Music Hall and has been seen on The Tonight Show, CNN, Fox New Channel’s Fox & Friends, ABC News, CBS’ Early Show, and on the pages of Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, USA Today, Billboard, and more.

The Grande-Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte Concert Hall (also called the Philarmony building) is a concert hall located on the Kirchberg plateau in the City of Luxembourg. Opened in 2005, it now plays host to 400 performances each year and is one of the main concert halls in Europe.
The inspiration for constructing a concert hall in Luxembourg is closely linked to the old RTL Symphonic Orchestra, now known as the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra (OPL - Orchestre philharmonique du Luxembourg). With the privatisation of RTL in 1992, the channel was no longer obliged to support an orchestra. The Luxembourg State decided to take the orchestra over and place it in the responsibility of an establishment specially created for this purpose, the Henri Pensis Foundation. This step acted as the catalyst for political action in favour of ensuring the construction of a suitable concert hall.
In 1995, Luxembourg was nominated European Capital of Culture. The great success of this initiative demonstrated the need for cultural facilities to be further developed. In the same year, the Luxembourg Parliament made the decision to construct, amongst other new structures, a concert hall.
Architect Christian de Portzamparc’s initial idea was to mark the entrance into the world of music through a natural filter. This idea became reality in the form of 823 facade columns made of white steel, arranged in three or four rows. The interior row of columns containing technical facilities, the second supporting the windows, and the third being of a static nature.
Between the filter of columns and the central nucleus, a vast peristyle constitutes the foyer, enveloping the Grand Auditorium. Ramps, stairs and footways lead into the concert hall, surrounding it and linking it to the boxes.
The Salle de Musique de Chambre, the ticket office and access to the underground car park are not within the main building, but are next to it outside within two aluminium-covered shells which lean against the filter of columns.
The acoustic design of the three halls is the work of Chinese-born acoustician Albert Yaying Xu with AVEL Acoustique.

Taken for Instruction #35
1. Nominate something you are going to go out and hunt for - the more abstract the better
2. Give yourself a time constraint
3. Go out and start work
4. Ask yourself why everything else that you encounter is so much more engaging than what you are hunting for
5. Ask yourself whether the time constraint is a useful tool
- Richard Wentworth
