Great song Kathleen, but also has a note of sadness too. :( I'm sure Adele's not too concerned about Karl Lagerfeld's opinion of her, or at least she shouldn't be.

Hi Mary Evelyn & everyone,

Here's Adele singing her hit song "Rolling In The Deep" she also wrote it...she won 4 Grammy awards the other night, she's still only 23! Adele had laser surgery on her vocal cords a few months ago and wasn't allowed to speak for 2 months, now she's back in force!

I like this one the best, she looks very natural here, like she just came in from outside and decided to get warm and sing!

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

See how I'll leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind you of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat

Could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Rolling in the deep

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
You had my heart and soul
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
And you played it to the beat

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
Could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Rolling in the deep

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
You had my heart and soul in your hand
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
But you played it, you played it, you played it to the beat

Here's her performance at the Grammy awards on Sunday night, can you believe that designer Karl Lagerfeld made a recent statement that she's a little too fat? She's a singer/songwriter, not a model. Geez. She's a star!

Yes Peter, they are great at what they do, better than most adults.They're called the "Sleepy Man Banjo Boys" and have already made an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and also have the CD out too. They're certainly getting off to a very good start at this young age.

Hey Evelyn,

This group is great. The 9 year old banjo player is so cool and makes it look effortless to play as well as he does.

Shalom,

Peter

Peter, I want one of these cars!!! They certainly don't look like what we usually picture as an electric car. A great improvement over previous model looks. I really prefer a SUV and hopefully they'll come up with a SUV model. Guess it will be a while though before they're ready here in the US.

Hi Evelyn,

Yesterday I posted my comments and an article about Shai Agassi an Israeli who founded Better Place in 2008. You can read it here.

His vision was and is to fill the world with one billion affordable electric cars by 2015. He partnered with Renault-Nissan and so far is working in four countries. Denmark, Australia, China and a couple of weeks ago launched in Israel (plus Northern California and Hawaii).

He's in negotiations with an additional 25 countries who will soon join the Better Place family.

Shai's concept was to have battery exchange stations placed in strategic areas around the countries in which you can exchange your battery in less then 5 minutes. You can also have electrical outlets installed in your home and business where you can recharge the battery overnight.

The system works and the cars are totally silent and have as much power as the normal gas filled cars. Below is a video that features a Better Place battery exchange station. It's fully automated and shows that with ingenuity and the ability and credentials to attract venture capital anything is possible.

Shalom,

Peter
