Fresh out of Venezuela in South America these young ladies came to America to pursue their dreams of playing their alternative music for all to enjoy. Their story is amazing, their heart and dedication to move to a new unfamiliar territory to achieve their dreams should be a model we all stand by.

This weeks painting is by the infamous Salvador Dali entitled “The Persistence Of Memory.” This piece is world recognized and probably one of Dali’s most famous paintings.
THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY
Editors View:
In this painting the landscape is barren, doesn’t show much life at all. In fact it’s hard to determine if there is life at all on Earth, is the human race obliterated as we know it? The paintings perspective goes in many different directions, is this a two dimensional world? Are we living in the same plane? These are questions that come to mind when I look at this painting, and to me, the clocks help decipher the meaning of what I think Dali is saying.
The wilted clocks are a symbol that time is dead. Only things that are wilted are dead or nearing death. The barren land with no grass, no signs of life determine that this painting is about time standing still, ultimately accomplished in death. We see water and a rising sun in the background, telling me that there is hope for the future, life still goes on, maybe in another life? The perspective shows me that we could be in between two separate dimensions, or we could rise to another plane when we die. Make no doubt about it, life continues. The time will come when time stops upon the Earth, but starts in the Heavens when we die. Nothing lives in the mortal body forever, be it at the hands of other human beings, through natural causes, or just age. The last thing to ponder in the painting is, did we kill ourselves off or did a plague send us to our fate? Could it be age ran out on us, or should I say.. did our time run out on us.
Now it’s your turn, leave a comment for all to read… tell us what you see in this painting. Do you agree or totally disagree with the author? There are no right or wrong answers. Please note, that all comments are screened… we will not allow comments with vulgar language, insulting anyone who commented including the author, nor will we allow comments promoting anything or anyone. We look forward to your insight.

Thanks to Star Manning, Todd Manning will face a trial for the attempted kidnapping of her baby. Todd was released on bail and sent home, but I have a feeling he is going to do something stupid again.
It was amazing to find out that Thea is helping Ray Montez to set up Vanessa. This marriage he entered into is going to hopefully keep Vanessa in the country long enough to get the answer Ray Montez is after; “Vanessa killed his wife.” If that is true, what will this do to Lola and Christian; is this going to destroy his relationship with Sara? Sara is keeping a tight grip over this marriage, but I feel that Christian is actually enjoying it.
Jarred is about to propose to Natalie, he asked her father for her hand in marriage… which he agreed to. He also offered Jarred a job back at B.E. There hasn’t been much word on B.E. since he got it back from Dorian; but look to see this a major topic in 2009.

Todd Manning and Thea Delgado got the best of the courts, manipulating it into letting him off on all charges. Just when we thought Todd was off scott free, his daughter Star stood up and said “No your honor, the Court, the People and the defense doesn’t know what my dad has done… he planned to steal my baby.” The same baby he was going to raise with Marty. Thea stood up and said “again, just like the first charges, there is no proof.” Star interrupts and says “No, that’s not true, My dad confessed that to me.” This stunned the entire court.
Marty knew about Star’s baby, and that Todd said Star was going to give him the baby. Star can testify she never intended on giving her dad the baby, and Marty can show the lies. Todd now has a mess, because he either needs to deny the accusation, making his daughter look bad or say that everything she is saying is true, putting him in jail for attempted kidnapping. Star is set to testify a heart jerking testimony to the court on Tuesday… you won’t want to miss this. Will Todd finally pay for his actions, and can Thea get him off on this. Is she prepared to destroy her former step-daughter whom she loves and admires? Star is the only person who can save Marty from Todd being free. If Star’s story does not give Todd justice, then Cole or Marty will probably end up killing him.
This not only shows Marty how much his own family can’t stand him, but Cole should realize how much Star loves him because she put her own father in jail for him and his mom.

The New Salvador Dali Museum
December 21, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Over the next few years, the Salvador Dali Museum will be upgraded to a brand new home in downtown St. Petersburg, FL. It will sit across the street from the Mahaffey Theater overlooking the beautiful Tampa Bay waterfront.
The project was designed by the well-known international architect firm HOK, specifically, Yann Weymouth of HOK. Weymouth had a tough order to fill when designing this structure because the city and owners of the museum wanted it to:
- 1. Display the largest collection of Dali’s work the best it can.
2. Protect the work from Florida’s well-known storms and tropical storm conditions. - 3. Give a strong aesthetic statement to Dali’s legacy.
The new museum is the fourth major project in Florida this year. Local manufacturers will furbish the materials needed for the project and local workers will be used to build the grand new museum, in order to ensure local job possibilities.
The new museum will have a lot of perks to enhance the experience such as a movie theater and a cafeteria that will overlook the bay and to allow for guests to sit and enjoy their surroundings.
Dali’s work will be on the higher floors to protect from flooding due to a tropical depression or hurricane. Therefore, swells from the gulf would not destroy or damage the vintage art. Dali’s art and vision, strange as it is, has been incorporated into the design of the new museum to make a personal touch to his house of grandeur.
This is a great new feature for the Tampa Bay area and for Salvador Dali fans from all over the world. The Dali museum is the largest collection worldwide of Dali’s work.
We suggest that if you haven’t seen the museum to please visit and support the arts.

Well One Life To Live fans, these last two days have been a bit shocking in a few different ways. The drama is starting to build, some of the characters we love, we are now starting to hate, those we hate… well we continue to hate, and some we are starting to love a bit more.
Vaga
With Lola about to be deported from the USA back to Columbia, we all thought some kind of last minuet miracle would happen, like it did for Langston. Christian has had Lola in his apartment as her legal guardian, and it put a small riff in Sara’s love life with Christian. She always suspected that Lola had other intentions with her boyfriend.
On Friday, Thea a long time friend of Carlata’s and x-wife of Todd Manning stormed into town and turned the place upside down. Thea told Christian and Lola one way to stay in the country was to get married, but it had to be very convincing in the post 9-11 era. Lola asked Christian to marry her and Christian respectively said no. He was committed to Sara. Christian came home where Sara was waiting for them, and sent Lola on her way to the hearing. Christian and Sara started to get hot and heavy, until a letter came in under the door, saying one life … maybe two. This sent Christian down to the courthouse to bring this evidence to the judge.
When Christian and Sara arrived, it was too late the judge ordered them deported. Christian tried to sway the judge with the letter but to no avail. Christian then said he was marrying Lola in front of the judge and Sara. Sara was crushed, and heard Christian lie to the judge saying they were in love. The judge however is not buying it and says it sounds like a fraud scam against the US Customs Department. He told Christian what he was in store for, the US Immigration Department would flag this and investigate the couple. Any mess up and Lola would be instantly deported and her name would enter a list never to be allowed back on US soil; Christian would face serious felony charges. Christian told him he understood, when Thea came in and backed up the story. The judge allowed them one day before a board meeting to see how well the couple knows each other.
Upon returning home from the court house, Christian met Sara walking out of the apartment. She said she gathered her stuff, photos, etc and was leaving. Christian told her he loved her and her alone. Sara said this won’t work, and left broken hearted.
Manning
Todd pled guilty to all charges he was accused of including rape of Marty Saybrook. Just when we thought it was all over, Thea busted in the doors and made Todd reconsider what he was doing. He said he had nothing without his children and Marty. Thea told Todd to fight, and show Marty the truth. Todd then returned to the court and denied all charges, and turned his plea to not guilty.
Bail was discussed and denied because of Todd’s past with fleeing the law, and his endangerment to himself and his family in the past. Thea then asked the judge for an immediate court date, which was granted for the next day.
Marty, Blair, Star and Cole were all disgusted with Todd’s choice, for now he will put Marty through a circus on the stand. Todd now has lost any plea deal he had and is now facing life in prison if convicted.
PLOT THICKENS….
With Thea in the middle of both messes, most importantly Lola and Christian, this looks like the work of Carl Hesser who escaped Columbia and vowed revenge on Christian. Thea can be very persuasive and this seems to be his kind of work. What better way to get back at Christian than to break him and Sara up, while making him marry a killer. After leaving the courtroom, Thea gets a call on her cell; and she answers in a plot like way… “Everything is going great, I have everyone eating right out of my hand.” Look for Carl Hesser’s return.
Sara was said through some soap columns that she would be leaving the show for a little while, the possible plot was she was going to follow her mom Tina and try to catch up with her. Christian begs her not to go, but she has nothing left to stay for. Will she come back or will this be a permanent leave?
