Groton - The Poquonnock Bridge Fire District will have to honor a disputed 10-year union contract that provides annual wage increases of 3 percent following a State Board of Labor Relations ruling in favor of the union.
The decision, issued Wednesday, means the fire district must comply with a collective bargaining agreement that dates back to July 2012, pay any back wages and benefits it owes and notify the labor board within 30 days of how it has corrected the situation.
In addition to higher pay, the contract requires additional staffing, increased paid personal leave for firefighters and a boost in benefits for retirees.
As a practical matter, the decision in favor of the union will accelerate how fast the fire district runs out of money, district board member Peter Legnos said Friday, though he could not predict when that would happen.
Legnos and other board members said they had not yet seen the decision.
Fire Chief Todd Paige said the district would need about $400,000 more this fiscal year to honor the contract.
As of Aug. 8 - a little more than five weeks into the fiscal year - the fire district had spent $800,000, or 22 percent, of the $3.5 million annual budget approved by taxpayers, Paige said. But he said spending varies month to month and the district has upfront bills to pay such as property and liability insurance, which were among the initial bills.
The board voted earlier this week to retain a Providence law firm to advise it on a potential filing for bankruptcy protection or receivership. Legnos said the lawyers were gone for the holiday weekend but he would seek their advice when they returned.
"It's a damned good thing we voted to retain those attorneys when we did," Legnos said. "Because if in the short term we have to go pay all the back wages and increase manning and whatever, we're going to run out of money way before January. We'd better get something filed really quick."
Union President Kale Kiely could not be reached.
According to the decision, the Uniformed Professional Fire Fighters Association of Connecticut/IAFF Local 2704 argued that the fire district violated the Municipal Employee Relations Act by rescinding its approval of the contract.
"Given the record before us we agree with the Union that the Fire District's conduct is in repudiation of a valid collective bargaining agreement and that remedial action is warranted," the labor board wrote.
Labor Department spokeswoman Nancy Steffens said a defendant or plaintiff has 45 days to appeal a decision to Superior Court if it's dissatisfied.
Helen Rush, a resident who attends fire district board meetings, said she believes the district board should honor the contract but renegotiate the 10 years because it's not a typical term. She said people don't understand how difficult firefighters' jobs are and how important response time is.
"I think that it's sad that it's come to this," Rush said. "I think that a little bit more understanding and trust on both sides would be helpful."
Board member Ron Yuhas said a subcommittee of the board is trying to figure out how to run the department on the $3.5 million voters approved. "We're going to have some hard decisions of what we're going to do and how we're going to do it," he said. He declined to comment on the decision.
Legnos said the district needs cooperation from the union to solve its financial problems.
"I'm not trying to take anything away from the firemen; I'm trying to save their jobs," he said. "They really don't get it. They just don't get it."
The 10-year labor agreement was approved in July 2012 by a vote of 2-1. The two votes in favor of the contract were cast by Kevin Czapla, a business owner and lieutenant in the Old Mystic Fire Department, and Thomas Wimler, who works in emergency services in Durham. Current board member Nancy Beckwith voted no.
Christopher Clark, a professional firefighter from Waterford, was president of the fire district board at the time the contract was approved.

This is for a very specific person, the kind who's fascinated by nature and would be excited to receive a new sandwich bag of lichen each month, even in the winter (which is apparently a big selling point). There are worse ways to spend $80, but there are also better ones for us.
I love the specificity of this one--not only is it a tie, it's a skinny tie, and not only is it a skinny tie, but it's a crocheted tie. It would take a more artsy job to actually be able to wear this to the office, but it's certainly original.
The foods in this three- and six-month membership are blacklisted because of their ability to ruin diets, food allergies, and kosher guidelines, but boy do they look good: Arkansas Peppered Bacon, Manchester Double Cream Cheese, Sea-Salt-Topped Pecan Blondie, Ginger Jump-Up Molasses Cookie.
I dunno, I just find something creepy about having lobster tails shipped to you and expecting them to still be fresh. And how come "you won't find them in stores"? It sounds like some secret mob deal.
As tacky/shady as it sounds, the panty of the month club features brands like Cosabella and Hanky Panky; you choose the style and size each month, and the rest is taken care of for you. You also get a "special surprise" (gulp) and a $10 gift card; this might be the most economical of the bunch. Unfortunately, it won't automatically make you look like these Victoria's Secret ladies.
This is for a very specific person, the kind who's fascinated by nature and would be excited to receive a new sandwich bag of lichen each month, even in the winter (which is apparently a big selling point). There are worse ways to spend $80, but there are also better ones for us.
The best "gift of the month" clubs seem to be the ones with perishable items--something that you are sure to use before the next month's item comes in. What, then, are you supposed to do with each of these slightly creepy teddy bears? Thankfully it's only a six-month deal, but no one knows enough children to fob these off on.
Mini pies! In jam jars! Flaky, gooey goodness in a reusable mason jar. I never knew until now that this is what I've wanted.
Who needs four different badge reels for their office IDs? Someone who treats them the way you would hats or scarves, apparently--a new one depending on the weather or your mood that day.
I didn't even know this was a thing, but it's a cool idea: Sparkling rings made up of the stuff you'd put on your nails. For someone considering bright orange nails but not willing to invest the time and money into a manicure.
Yes, there at least six varieties of pickle; this half-year membership gives you pickled red peppers, leeks, and fennel. I didn't realize you could pickle cauliflower, but it sounds mouth-watering.
What a random thing to send to your friends; you might ask why you couldn't just pay for a Crayola box for less. But these crayons come in cool shapes: Dinosaurs, Easter eggs, even LEGOs!
Do we have to be dollhouse enthusiasts to receive these? Because these are so adorable. We don't know what we'd do with them except just set them up on our desks in little tableus and squeal over them all day. That's what the Christmas spirit is about, right?

Exhibition features Japanese woodblock print collection
Posted January 14, 2009; 10:16 a.m.
An exhibition of Japanese woodblock prints, highlighting changing fashions and evolving print technologies in that country from the late 1600s through the mid-1800s, will run from Jan. 18 through June 7 in Firestone Library's Milberg Gallery.
"Beauty and Bravado in Japanese Woodblock Prints: Highlights From the Gillett G. Griffin Collection" features works donated by Griffin, curator emeritus of the University's Graphic Arts Collection. Griffin retired in 2004 after 52 years at Princeton.
Utagawa Shigetoshi's finished preparatory drawing from the mid-19th century shows legendary fisherman Urashima Tarō riding a mythical turtle.
In 1947, when Griffin was a student at Yale University's School of Fine Arts, one of his professors invited a Japanese print dealer to visit. Griffin's eye fell on a small black-and-white print, which he purchased for $2. The dealer was impressed that such a young man would see the beauty in what turned out to be a print by 17th-century artist Hishikawa Moronobu.
By the end of the year, Griffin had a collection of almost 70 classic Japanese woodblock prints. He continued to study and collect for more than 60 years. That original print, a plate from the book "Kokon Yoshiwara kidan" ("Past and Present Strange Stories From the Yoshiwara"), is part of the exhibition.
A reception and gallery tour will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25, for the opening of the "Beauty and Bravado" exhibition. A lecture on Japanese prints will be given by Julie Davis, a professor of art history at the University of Pennsylvania, at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 3, in 101 McCormick Hall, followed by a reception in the Milberg Gallery.
The exhibition's hours are: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday; and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
More information can be found on the Graphic Arts Collection blog.
The exhibition showcases works donated by Gillett Griffin, curator emeritus of the University's Graphic Arts Collection. "Reclining Couple Reading a Love Letter" (ca. 1804-1818) by artist Kikugawa Eizan is one of the woodblock prints Griffin collected over the course of 60 years.

Posted: 19 April 2006 at 11:19pm
A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that, if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a Mullah in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The Mullah agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the Mullah in the afternoon.
The Mullah, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is Allah?".
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the Mullah repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is Allah!!?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the Mullah raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS ALLAAAH!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in big trouble this time dude. Allah is missing - and they think WE did it!"

Plots & Ploys: Hotel Handover
It has been over four years since the real-estate boom ended, but maturing loans in debt-laden hotel deals are still throwing landlords into trouble.
Case in point: a portfolio of six upscale hotels called the HRO Hotel Portfolio. A partnership of Pyramid Hotel Group, a Morgan Stanley fund and the California State Teachers Retirement System bought the hotels in 2006 for $291 million and then put $272 million of debt on them, according to mortgage data supplied by Morningstar Credit Ratings LLC.
The group wasn't able to refinance the debt before it came due in October. Now, the owners are ready to hand over the properties—including a Hilton in Stamford, Conn., a Sheraton in Norfolk, Va., and a Sheraton in Atlanta—to their lenders, according to a person familiar with the loan.
It couldn't be determined Tuesday which lender is most likely to end up with the hotels. One lender angling to take over the hotels is Starwood Capital veteran Jonathan Eilian's Atrium Hotels, according to the person. Mr. Eilian didn't respond to requests for comment.

Corrections & Amplifications
A hotel in Stamford, Conn., that is part of the HRO Hotel Portfolio was converted to a Hilton from a Westin in 2008. An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified the property as a Westin.

Within minutes of the last post being published I got an email asking for the contents of the "Boy Scout Creed" pictured in the post.
Here is the complete text of the "Boy Scout Creed" by Ludvig S. Dale
To be trustworthy in all things. Loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous and kind. To learn obedience and practise cheerfulness and Thrift. To be brave, clean and reverent. Above all to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. To "Be Prepared" at all times to do my duty to God and my country, and to do a Good Turn to someone every Day.
Ludvig S. Dale was the National Recruiting Officer for the Boy Scouts of America in 1914.
I love to see these older pictures and learn about Scouting's rich history. Makes the future of Scouting so much brighter.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

There's a bit of a fight on this morning concerning Apple's (AAPL) iPad.
JP Morgan's Gokul Hariharan, who covers contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision, writes that the assembler of the iPad appears to be cutting production of the iPad for Q4, citing multiple sources from the electronics supply chain.
Hariharan writes that the cuts, the first he has heard of ever for the iPad, appear not to be prompted by share loss, as Hon Hai seems destined to try and hold onto 100% of the business, shutting out competitor Pegatron. He notes the cuts are also not tied to any new iPad introduction, as that is unlikely to take place until next year some time.
"Multiple supply chain vendors indicate a 25% cut for 4Q11 iPad sell-in orders (first cut ever that we have seen) in the past two weeks," writes Hariharan, "which would mean that Hon Hai 's iPad shipments may be down 25% qoq in 4Q11 (from sell-in of 17M in 3Q11 to 13M in 4Q11).
Note however, that Hariharan's colleague, Mark Moskowitz, is referenced by Hariharan as maintaining his estimate. Moskowitz "is expecting only 10.9M/12M units of iPad shipments in CY3Q/4Q11 and does not expect the supply chain adjustments to result in downside to his estimates."
Likewise, Brian Blair of Wedge Partners offered cautious comments this morning.
"We understand Apple has recently cut production of the iPad by 15-20% for the December quarter," writes Blair.
"This would take our iPad unit estimate from 16 million units down to approximately 13 million units for December [...] We believe the production cuts speak to Apple's concerns about the macro economy from a global standpoint and the risk of slowed demand for consumer electronics in the fourth quarter."
Blair says the cuts, if they are occurring, would not be because of any competitive pressure, as the competition has failed thus far, although he notes Amazon.com (AMZN) may announce its entrance into tablets this week.
However, a couple of analysts have jumped in to defend Apple.
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster argues there are no cuts, and that a shift by Apple to other manufacturers could have something to do with the rumors:
Following our recent trip to Asia we remain confident in our iPad estimates for the September and December quarters of 10.0m and 12.0m, respectively. While we heard chatter of supply chain order reductions, the absolute sell-in figures for 2H CY11 likely remain well above our estimates. We also note that previous calls based on sell-in or supply chain data have, for the most part, proven to have very little correlation with Apple's results vs. consensus dating back to early iPod shipments (2003). We believe Apple purposely maintains enough suppliers and manufacturing partners to make any one supply-side data point inconclusive. For example, Apple is currently transitioning to Brazilian iPad manufacturing, which may be impacting Asian manufacturing numbers.
News reports in the last week or so said that Apple would shift some production to Brazil, as related by PC Magazine's Leslie Horn two weeks back.
And Susquehanna's semiconductor analyst Chris Caso writes that it's not true, and that the Apple supply chain remains "robust" compared to order cuts elsewhere in tech:
We believe chatter regarding iPadproduction cuts are misleading-we have seen pull-ins, not cuts. We have noted recent comments by competitors discussing iPad production cuts for 4Q. Our recently published AAPL supply-chain checks noted a sequential decline in 4Q iPad builds from 17 mln-19 mln units in 3Q to 11 mln-13 mln units in 4Q. However, the 4Q sequential decline was accompanied by an increase in 3Q builds, leading us to conclude that production was likely pulled-in from 4Q to 3Q. We believe AAPL has attempted to accelerate production in 3Q to ensure product availability for the holidays. In addition, we expect AAPL will need to modulate production of iPad2 to prepare for iPad3. We expect iPad3 production to start in late 4Q/early 1Q.
Caso's colleague who formally covers Apple, Jeffrey Fidacaro, concurs with Caso's assessment: no cut to orders.
"Our recent checks show no change to these targets [of 17 million to 19 million units this quarter and 11 million to 13 million in Q4]," writes Fidacaro.
"We continue to attribute part of the jump in CY3Q11 builds as a slight pull-forward to better position Apple for the Holidays with an average quarterly build of 15 mln across CY3Q and CY4Q. In addition, our checks suggest the preliminary CY4Q11 Q/Q decline in orders for iPad2 is in preparation for the cut-over to iPad3 builds."
Apple shares this morning have recouped some losses, now down just $5.30, or 1%, at $399.

As a Big Ten fan I like seeing the Terrapins join the Big Ten, not so much with Rutgers.The University of Maryland's Board of Regents on Monday voted unanimously to accept an invitation to join the Big Ten Conference and leave the Atlantic Coast Conference, sources told ESPN on Monday.
The board unanimously approved the move to the Big Ten, a regent told ESPN. An afternoon announcement is expected.
Sources also said that Rutgers is expected to follow the Terrapins and will announce its own move from the Big East to the Big Ten, possible as early as Tuesday. A Scarlet Knights move would give the Big Ten 14 members.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:South Platte
Brad it's great to hear of your success on the South Platte over the holiday weekend. We had a bitter cold snap over the holiday that broke with some rain yesterday. As I made my way back to the grind this morning the temps were pleasant and definitely fishable. In fact the weather reminded me of a typical winter day in the pacific northwest from my days out there.
GregD has told me of the great winter fishing out in your area - he lived in Denver for a large part of his adult life and now is a fellow striper hound here in the northeast.
Hope we can sample each other's home waters someday!
RE:South Platte
I used to fish the South Platte and a little east of there at Eleven Mile Canyon. Do those waters still hold native 'bows. You've got me drooling just thinking back to those deep emerald green pools. Great report.... I also remember the crowds. Hope your interloper tripped and filled his waders
So I still wonder why CO trout fight harder than NE trout....
RE:South Platte
Sounds like a great end to the thanksgiving holiday. I spend most of my time on Cape Cod saltwater fly fishing and sometimes at the local Cape ponds for small stocked trout... Someday I will get out there and try my hand at those skills. Great report.
South Platte
I have been reading on the board questions about why fish out here seem to feed more during the winter than back east. I do not know the answer but here is something to chew on. Fished Cheesman canyon from about 1 to 4 yesterday. The Gill trail was very icy and i was glad to have hiking boots. The water was low and the sun was shining temp around 50. I found a pool with fish sipping midges and got no takers on my 22 gnat. Switched to a size 18 orange scud with a 24 olive RS2 and within 5 casts had a fat 18 inch rainbow on. Landed that fish more by luck than skill when some bozo entered the head of the pool i was fishing. That put the fish right down. I moved downstream to the icebox and found the sipping fish again. No takers on gnats with 5X tippit but on switching to 7X i began to hook up. I got my hand into the mouth of a big brown and managed to cut my thumb and finger. Once the sun got off the water the temp fell and i headed to the car for a celebratory beer. Nice end to a great thanksgiving holiday.

That way, you can look beautiful without having to waste time wondering where your favorite makeup or bracelet disappeared to. Some of our practical organizers are designed to keep all of your hair supplies in order – with space for a hair dryer, styling gel, flat iron, curling iron and countless accessories – so that you can look stunning with as little effort as possible. If you need to get ready in a hurry, a shower caddy lets you get in and out of the shower quickly.
A jewelry tray can also be an excellent option for your room since it fits comfortably on top of a desk or drawer and is a great place to keep your most-used jewelry so you can get dressed quickly in the morning. Our Ultimate Beauty Vanity features an incredible amount of storage while staying compact enough to fit in a spacious room or more intimate quarters. Five ample drawers and two swinging doors with additional space let you keep all of your beauty supplies neat and organized. And for precise application of makeup and easier styling, it also houses a convenient mirror. That way, you can be dressed to impress every day. And, if your space allows, full-body mirrors are a great idea both for decor and choosing your outfit.

France 1859 – 1891
Study for 'A Sunday afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'
[Etude pour 'Un dimanche après-midi à l'Ile de la Grande Jatte'] 1884
oil on wood panel
panel 15.5 (h) x 25.0 (w) cm

These two studies are part of a group of about sixty preparatory works Georges Seurat made for his large painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, which hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago. As these small studies indicate, the final painting shows the various social classes of Paris enjoying their Sunday afternoon in the sunshine on the banks of the river Seine.
The first study includes a section of the river with two figures resting in the shade of a tree; one reclines while the other sits gazing towards the water. The figures are sculptural shapes, devoid of detail. On the sunny embankment, a curving tree trunk casts long, thin shadows. Other figures fish at the water's edge or wade in the shallows.
The surface of the river is invigorated by Seurat's use of small, expressive brushstrokes. These brushstrokes also appear across the painting, sometimes as cross-hatching, especially in the green grass in the foreground and along the reclining figure's clothing.
The river bursts with luminous colour combined with soothing reflections of cream, pink and gold. The coolness of the water is created by a combination of blue and lavender hues. Dark tones of green describe the shadows, and lime green and ochre the areas of sunlight.
In the later study more figures are included amongst the trees and no water is visible. A pram sits near two women; one wears an elaborate sunhat. They look towards two young children who seem to be watching something in the distance. The sunny greens and yellows in the painting create warmth which contrasts with the patches of blue-green shade where the figures rest.
Seurat strived for harmony in his use of colour. He believed in the power of colour to convey emotion and felt that a balance of warm and cool colours created a calm atmosphere.

By Tiernan Ray
R.W. Baird's William Power, who follows the stocks of cable operators Comcast (CMCSA), Cablevision (CVC), Time Warner Cable (TWC) and Charter Communications (CHTR), today offers up his thoughts on the National Cable and Television Association's annual trade show, The Cable Show, as it's called, which has been going on Monday through today in Washington, D.C.
Power, who rates all four operators' stocks Neutral, writes that he came away from the show "constructive on key trends," which trends include "delivering more robust user interfaces, including cloud delivery capabilities" of their channels to mobile devices, and also an intent to reach downloads speeds of one gigabit per second for broadband Internet service, albeit with a heavy increase in capital expenditures.
Power notes that the operators contend that so-called over-the-top content providers such as Netflix (NFLX) and the network consortium Hulu "appear to still be principally a complement as opposed to a competitive threat."
Power notes the facelift given by Comcast to its own over-the-top, tablet-based video offering, writing "Comcast unveiled its next-gen user interface, which it appears to set it apart competitively." The "X2" upgrade of Comcast's "Xfinity" service brings enhancements such as "über personalization" and links to Facebook (FB) and Twitter, for the purposes of discovering content, the company said in a press release.
As regards Google's (AAPL) Google Fiber initiative in a couple of cities, Power writes that the MSOs consider Google an "over-builder," which is industry jargon for any new company that comes into the industry and builds new infrastructure. Bottom line, in Power's view, "Cable just views Google as one more competitor," even if the intent of Google Fiber at this point is not exactly clear.
In related news, Bloomberg's Andy Fixmer and Alex Sherman today write that Time Warner has been talking with media companies about possible inducements for those companies to withhold content from Intel (INTC), Apple (AAPL) and other over the-top-providers, including higher payments to the content holders. Citing multiple unnamed sources.
The cable stocks today are all trading lower today, and have been weak the last two sessions as well, although Time Warner and Charter have held up better than the other two.

I recently purchased a new shotgun and don't have a lot of experience with them. But i notice that my gun consistently shoots low. I have shot at targets at 20 to 40 yards and always hit the bottom of the target, sometimes most of the shot actually going below the target (about 6-8 inches below point of aim)
Will changing my type shell or choke help with this problem? or is it simply the gun and ill have to just remember to aim high?
Co-worker of mine says that choke/load will not effect the path of my shot and that it will just simply shoot low.

Marrone-Puglia receives prize for book
Posted December 12, 2001; 04:32 p.m.
Gaetana Marrone-Puglia, professor of French and Italian , has been named the recipient of the Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Italian Studies by the Modern Language Association of America.
The award recognizes an outstanding book by a member of the association in the field of Italian literature or comparative literature involving Italian. Marrone-Puglia was honored for her book, "The Gaze and the Labyrinth: The Cinema of Liliana Cavani," published in 1999 by Princeton University Press.
The book is the first comprehensive study in English of the aesthetics and work of Cavani, one of Italys foremost cinematic auteurs. The award selection committee said it was "meticulously researched, engagingly written and beautifully illustrated."
Two Princeton graduate alumni also recently were named award winners by the Modern Language Association: Timothy Hampton, who completed his Ph.D. in comparative literature in 1987, received the Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for French and Francophone Literary Studies; and Gabriella Safran, who completed her Ph.D. in Slavic languages and literatures in 1998, received the Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures. Hampton is a faculty member at the University of California-Berkeley and Safran is on the faculty at Stanford University.

Event Results
2004 Caddis for Kids RESULTS:
392 flies in 24 hours. A bit down from last year's 501 but this year I had a more labor-intensive drawing system because I had an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE more stuff to give away! 4 rods, 1 reel, a guided trip, fishing time at Trophy Lakes, etc., etc., etc.... a whole lot of stuff! It took more time to explain what was going on, which took time away from the vise but there were other reasons as well.
Having Alec Jackson spin yarns about NW steelheading legends for about 7 hours on Friday was more interesting than tying and I am not a decent muti-tasker. I guess you could say my lolly-gagging cut down on the productivity but that's how it goes sometimes. As it turns out, I had more people buying tickets for the drawings than I did filling out pledge forms for pledges-per-fly so I didn't really miss out on a significant amount of $$$ for the charity.
Now, the important part:
As it stands now, a tad over $2500 was raised over the weekend. There are still some contributions in the mail and some pledges that need collecting but overall the best year thus far as far as actual collections are concerned.
This brings the total for all events ever held (in both Spokane and Seattle) to about 15K (over the four year history of the event) that has been raised for pediatric healthcare services.
Thanks to all who came out in support of the event, the sponsors, donors and congrats to all the winners...and there were many of those, especially the kids!
There is still time to donate and to do so all you need to do is send a check to me MADE OUT TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL at the address listed below.

A NEW event update
Recently added to the looong list of stuff for the drawings:
Very talented amateur bamboo rod maker Tom Bowden is offering a custom made "Caddis for Kids" bamboo fly rod, with all proceeds benefitting the Caddis for Kids donation to Childrens Hospital.
For this drawing, the winner chooses the taper that fits their fishing needs. The rod will be a 2 piece with 2 tips and will include premium components donated by Golden Witch Technologies.
Taper choices for the winning fisherman are:
· 7 foot 4-weight Sir-D....a popular modern bamboo rod taper, developed by famous Rodmaker Wayne Cattanach from Michigan. It is a fast action dry fly rod; perfect for small trout streams. An interesting feature designed into the taper is a subtle slow spot in the butt section which makes the rod great for roll casting.
· 7-1/2 foot 5wt. Dickerson 7613....a classic taper by Lyle Dickerson that has amazing power for its size. Dickerson tapers incorporate swelled butt sections that add stiffness while distributing weight in a way that makes the rod feel light in the hand. This is a very versatile rod for medium sized trout streams.
· 8 foot 6-weight Garrison 212E....a taper designed by the legendary Everett Garrison, author of the book that started the renaissance in bamboo rod making. This is a smooth, medium action rod thats a pleasure to cast and fish. The action is light enough for small dries and light tippets, but strong enough to punch out large stonefly and October caddis imitations.
The Winner will pick a taper and then the rod will be made from scratch starting with a raw culm of Tonkin cane. It is expected that the rod will take two to three months to complete. The rod will have premium grade components donated by Golden Witch Technologies, including chrome guides, nickel silver ferrules, choice of cork grip and reel seat styles, a wool rod bag, and a simple PVC rod case. The words Caddis for Kids 2004 will be written on the rod as a memento of your donation to this great program.
This fine bamboo rod will be part of the items given away during the drawings at the 4th Annual Caddis for Kids Tie-A-Thon on Friday and Saturday, November 5th and 6th at the Avid Angler in Lake Forest Park, WA. For more information, please contact Don Johnson at email@example.com or the Avid Angler at 206.362.4030 or 877.347.4874. Proceeds of Don Johnson's Caddis for Kids benefit Seattle Children's Hospital.

Thanks for the post Sean!
This year's event has the potential to not only surpass last year's, as far as the amount raised is concerned, but it has the potential to supercede the combined total of ALL 4 of my other Tie-A-Thons combined.
Last year I had 2 major companies donating product for the drawing. This year I have 18 and still haven't heard back from many more as they were busy preparing for the Denver tackle show. There will be rods from Sage, TFO and St. Croix as well as a CUSTOM BAMBOO ROD made by Tom Bowden. Bob Trigg's guided trip is certain to trigger a lot of ticket sales as well and I much appreciate his contribution to the cause. All this and much more and the tickets for the drawing are only a buck each!
I look forward to seeing and meeting many of you there; please contact me directly if there are questions, and thank you for your time and support of this endeavor!

Local prep standouts sign NLI's
Spokane, WA - It's the day the hard work an athlete puts in pays off, signing a National Letter of Intent to play a collegiate sport. And there were several area high schoolers who put pen to paper on Wednesday.
At University High School, three student-athletes signed NLI's. The GSL's reigning MVP, and 1st team All-State performer Brett Bailey signed to play basketball at the University of San Diego. Two sport standout, Kayleigh Valley, chose basketball over volleyball and will play next season at the University of Montana. And swimming star, Addisynn Bursch, will head to North Carolina State.
Mead high school has at least two of it's stellar volleyball seniors signed, sealed and delivered to play at the next level. WSU lists Taylor Ellingsen as a 5-7 defensive specialist in their NLI release. "WSU is an amazing school! My entire family went to WSU and I grew up knowing that one day, I would be a Coug too. I fell in love with the campus when I was little and coming down to every football game. Now that I'm older I realize that WSU is also perfect for me academically, " Ellingsen said of her decision. While Ellingsen decided to stay close to home, her high school teammate, libero Sierra Crook, is headed to Adelphi University across the country on Long Island, NY. In basketball, Jade Redmon has signed with Wendy Schuller's Eastern Eagles. "Jade is great player, who is just tough as nails. She will do whatever it takes to get the job done. She handles it really well, can get into the lane and can be a major threat in the open floor. She fits in really well with our style, and how we like to play. She is also going to help us defensively in terms of pressuring the ball and getting into passing lanes," Schuller said.
Darby Santos was named the WIAA's 3A Player of the Week in volleyball earlier in the season. The Shadle Park standout has signed to play next year at Lewis-Clark State in Lewiston. The Warriors just captured their sixth straight Frontier Conference title.Local prep standouts sign NLI's
Gonzaga Prep had two student-athletes sign on Wednesday. Madison Wright will play basketball for Big Sky Conference member Southern Utah. Alex Marcinkowski will take his tennis talents to the University of Oregon out of the Pac-12.
The Colfax Bulldogs now have a Grizzly on their boys basketball team. Brandon Gfeller, the reigning 2B player of the year in Washington has signed to play for Spokane native Wayne Tinkle at the University of Montana. "Brandon reminds me a lot of some of the outstanding shooting guards that Montana has had over the past few years," Tinkle said. "I think he's got around a 6-foot-7 wing span, and he really elevates and has a high release on his shot. Our staff identified him as one of the best shooters that we've see the past couple of years."
It will be an easy move to the University of Idaho for Amy Hasenoehrl, who will play golf for the Vandals. "We are thrilled that Amy decided to continue to represent Idaho at the college level," Vandals head coach Lisa Johnson said. "She is a delightful person, an excellent student, and driven beyond belief. She has big goals for herself and the team, and we are very excited to help her achieve them.

I'm trying to narrow down a reason why my 8.5 m/o lab is randomly throwing up. When he does throw up, it's always between 5 and 6 am. His food is always digested by that time (we feed at 6:30 am and 6:30 pm). Sometimes we'll find something in it, like a long piece of grass, a string, or something like that, which makes sense then why he may have thrown up. But this morning, it looked like it was just liquid.
He eats Fromm's large breed puppy. He isn't throwing up everyday. It's just hit or miss. Sometimes it's once a week, sometimes three, sometimes never.
Yesterday he was in his kennel for a large portion of the day. He is kind of spoiled because my wife has a home office, so most of the time he is her "office dog" during the day. Yesterday, though, she was out on business, hence the reason he was in his kennel. Could it be that he has anxiety and then gets an upset stomach?
Even after throwing up, he acts fine, eats fine, plays fine. Just getting sick of hearing "the noise" at 5 am.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

In our first Healthy Cities report, Diabetes Voice highlights municipal and national governing policies that are trailblazing new directions for human health.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has dominated his mayoral terms with strong government leadership providing unconventional initiatives for New York City's public health problem. His controversial policies have gained worldwide acknowledgement and support from a distinguished list of international leaders and influential scholars. We briefly review his extraordinary final term and present supporting words from another New York City resident, Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University. Winds of change and fresh air are also moving across other regions in North America. In an interview with members of Mexico's Health Secretariat, we learn about the city's anti-smoking policies, and new educational campaigns for the prevention of obesity and diabetes. Once the world's most polluted urban centre, Mexico City now seems intent on transforming its public health environment to the highest possible standard. In our final segment, Pilar Garcia Crespo sheds some light on why Spain has been ranked as one of the healthiest countries in the world. Surprisingly or not, people residing in the birthplace of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet also require government interventions targeting nutrition, physical activity and obesity.
These thought leaders, health ministries and governments have all prioritised the escalating public health burden related to Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs). Although unique, all of these individual or regional voices believe in the power of policy to encourage and provide greater opportunities for the future of human health.

These rum-spiked frozen treats take the flavors of a well-known Tiki cocktail – the Mai Tai – and turn it into a fruity (and boozy) ice pop.
Be sure to allow the coconut colada layer to freeze completely before adding the mango mai tai layer.
Be patient when freezing these spiked ice pops. They take longer to freeze because of the alcohol, but they are worth the wait.

Ken Bora mentioned leaving the first lady's speech and going to watch "The Last of the Mohicans" and loving the beautiful scenery of this movie which starred Daniel Day Lewis and was made in 1992. Since this is one of my favorite movies -- for the scenery, for the music, for the story -- I googled it. The entire film was made at various locations in North Carolina.
I thought the Mohicans were in the Finger Lakes region of NY. Not so. They were in the Hudson River Valley. The Iroquois, Mohawks, and other tribes were in the Finger Lakes region.
If you have not seen the movie, do so. It is a good one IMHO.

Every year I spend countless hours watching gamefilm of the top TE's in the draft and each round we pass on them. Makes me want to cry.
Every year I spend countless hours watching gamefilm of the top TE's in the draft and each round we pass on them. Makes me want to cry.
Our first 3 picks should be O-lineman and a RB......end of story.
We are stocked in the secondary and we have picks who still have a ton of upside from last year. There's a log jam on the defensive line, and you could say the same for our receivers. I just don't see why we would use picks on those positions.
I don't know. Given Philbin and Hickey have a two year plan I think you see our line built out of free agency. I wouldn't depend on that in the draft if my job were relying on it.
I think we see a RB in the first two rounds, RB's have a track record of being able to look good as rookies so that might be as close to a can't miss as you can get. Also, they need a WR who is a reliable target in traffic and on a short field. Again, given they have two years it's an immediate need for the offense and to help Tannehill. So I think we see a big WR in the first three rounds,
If I were Philbin and Hickey I wouldn't get to cute. Get what is going to make the Dolphins the best show, and hopefully better team.
Zack Martin OG/OT
Cyril Richardson OG
Morgan Moses OT
Dominique Easly DT
James Wilder Jr RB
Sean Parker SS
Dri Archer RB/WR
I don't see why TE is such a huge need for everyone. Clay had a breakout year, Egnew showed he can make some plays, and you knew what you were getting last year with Dion Sims as a blocking TE. Phins need a true power back and I think free agency is the better was to go because the backfield is already so young. Dri Archer could be a great slot receiver to slice through the seams and can play some RB too. OL was the reason for the majority of the losses last year because they couldn't hold up in the forth quarter when they needed to. Even with free agency I would draft as many high end lineman as possible in the early rounds to turn our weakness into a strength.
how many years will this b if we draft another TE?
brandon Thomas from Clemson in the 4th would be a steal. going to be a good pro.

Enter the park at Myrtle and N. Portland and walk up the path
A recently reformed drug dealer working as a claims adjuster receives earth-shattering news that compels him to make peace with his past and search for freedom beyond the concrete jungle of New York.
Filmmaker Keith Miller will be in attendance for a Q and A following the screening. Co-presented with the ActNow Foundation
Welcome to Pine Hill (Keith Miller | USA | 80 min.)
A big hit at this year's Slamdance winning the Grand Jury Award, Welcome to Pine Hill follows the meditative journey of a young man as he comes to terms with a life-changing diagnosis. In his new life, the man (played with nuance and power by Shannon Harper) reconciles with friends, family, and associates, all while never revealing his fate. He addresses his predicament by escaping the hard streets of the city for the quiet refuge of upstate New York. Made in collaboration with the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective and IFP's Independent Filmmaker Lab, this "atmospheric rendering of a New Yorker's journey of self-discovery" (The Hollywood Reporter) is Miller's debut feature.
This heartbreaking and honest tale subtly explores the themes of race and class in a provocative way, humanizing a character all too often caricaturized by media. Harper, a 6'4 African-American, tries to fade into his surroundings, but his powerful yet gentle and subdued presence is just too hard to ignore. Relying on a cast of mostly non-professional actors and utilizing arresting visual imagery, Welcome to Pine Hill invites us on the multi-layered and richly intimate journey of a man coming to terms with his fate.
After a chance encounter with Harper over a lost puppy, filmmaker Keith Miller was inspired to direct short Prince/William, which screened in Rooftop's 2010 festival. The short serves as the opening of the feature, starring Harper and Miller as themselves in true cinema verite style. Now, Rooftop Films is proud to screen Welcome to Pine Hill in Fort Greene, a neighborhood that fosters open discussion about the issues of gentrification and race addressed in the film, sure to make for a fascinating and entertaining evening.

Facial Feminization
For the transgender patient, feeling feminine is one of the most important aspects of your life. You not only want to feel feminine, but you want the world to see you as feminine. This can be achieved through Facial Feminization.View Gallery »
As with the other components of Facial Feminization, nasal surgery is primarily performed to soften this feature. Our goal is to provide you with a more feminine nose, but at the same time, not give you an artificial or overly scooped or pinched look.Learn More »
Chin & Jaw Reduction
When chin/jawline contouring is appropriate, the procedure involves making a small incision underneath the chin in the crease to gain access to the area, and then grinding down the bone to reshape the chin/jawline into a more female shape.Learn More »
Tracheal Shave
The tracheal shave procedure is performed under a local anesthetic. An incision is made in a natural crease in your neck. The trachea is shaved and tiny stitches are used to close the incision.View Our Results »

Bringing the Misunderstood Gender Out in the Open
with Facial Feminization
I, Dr. Toby Mayer, have spent 40 years mastering the art of facial feminization for transgender patients. Many of the procedures which I developed have given transgender patients the possibility of being the person that they feel they are on the inside. My job has been to make the outside match the inside feelings of femininity that the male-to-female transgender patient has.
Recently, there has been a great deal of attention paid to this issue because of the curiosity of the media with Bruce Jenner. If indeed he is a transgender patient, the process that he is going through is feeling like a woman on the inside, yet having the facial features of a man.
Many people are aware of minor procedures, like shaving the Adam's apple, which is a secondary male sex characteristic, but are not familiar with the multitude of procedures that are necessary to create the total appearance of the female, in the transgender patient.
So, what are the procedures that we developed for this change? Click here to find out from Dr. Mayer himself!

Their homonymous debut album in tow, Friendly Fires made news last July when they were shortlisted for the 2009 Mercury Prize, the English-music-industry accolade that brings with it £20,000 to one native artist or group. Although the Fires and their glistening dance rhythms were not victorious (they lost to rising rapstress Speech Debelle), it wasn't a bad year when you consider that 10 years ago these guys were covering Green Day.
"I'm not going to say that we were doing Talking Heads covers," says singer/synth player Ed MacFarlane. "We got into that stuff as we grew older." Once they grew out of playing pop punk at house parties, the trio — MacFarlane, guitarist Edd Gibson, and drummer Jack Savidge — adopted the mantle of First Day Back, delving into speculative Fugazi-esque hardcore (characterized by MacFarlane as "the artier end of punk"). "After that," he says, "we started listening to a bit more-interesting music."
At 17, he stumbled across the work of Chris Clark, an electronic musician from St. Albans, the same Hertfordshire town the band call home. When he shared this revelation with the ranks, they all agreed on a new direction. MacFarlane started using his computer to compose music, Savidge's tastes began to incorporate house and techno, and Friendly Fires emerged. And though the leap from frills-free hardcore to flashy dance-floor soundtracks might seem unusual, MacFarlane considers the transition perfectly natural. "It doesn't feel strange to me. I'm interested in electronic music, but the fact that it's electronic isn't the key thing. I find that a lot of the music is incredibly emotional. It creates something in me that playing four simple chords doesn't."
Despite the temptations of glossier production, the band went the homespun route in recording Friendly Fires (Beggars). Setting up in a garage, with minimal means, they produced an exuberant, gleaming stream of stargazing, indie-inflected dance pop. And the pop just barely outweighs the dance— the longest track is four minutes and change.
Also a far cry from their formative hardcore tropes are their songs' tales of being lost in a world of romance, clubbing, and drugs. "It's all about escapism," MacFarlane explains. "I like disco singers, and to me, disco has always been about not reminding you of the world you live in. It's taking you somewhere else." Considering First Day Back in the light of Friendly Fires, he observes, "If we were playing hardcore, I wouldn't be singing about going to Paris, that's for sure. Maybe that's why we never pursued that style. We had nothing to scream about. We were all middle-class kids."
Devoted to the dance floor as they are, Friendly Fires don't intend to turn esoteric. MacFarlane compares their latest material to Dangerous-era Michael Jackson: "That whole groove is incredibly funky." And what would their punk-past selves have to say about this? "They'd probably say, 'It should be more aggressive. Start screaming! You need to have a breakdown in this part. Stop writing pop music!' But now, pop is what I love."

If you want to see it on the big screen, you might want to wait until the second-run theatres. I went to a matinee and got my money's worth. Walking out, I thought I wouldn't pay full price to see it again. At the second run, perhaps. Definitely rent it once it's out on video, but not certain if I'd buy it for my collection.
I saw World War Z and really enjoyed it. It was very well paced and the performances were strong.
I also watched World War Z and I was surprised at how good it was. I was expecting a mindless action film like 2012, or Day After Tomorrow; but this movie was really well made and a lot smarter than I expected it to be.
It seems that they are already working on a sequel, so I'm interested to see where they go next.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
From Russia With Love (1963). Had the opportunity to see my all-time favorite Bond movie on the big screen Saturday night! It was great!
Robin and Marian (1976). One of those under-rated Sean Connery movies where he plays a middle-aged Robin Hood who returns to Sherwood Forest after being away with the Crusades for 20 years. And things aren't the same. I'd seen this one years ago but forgot just about everything about it.
The Anderson Tapes (1971). Another Connery flick. This time, he's a burglar trying for one last score.
I watched the 1978 animated version of The Adventures of Pinocchio on Youtube last night and I had forgotten how dark early children's fiction used to be. I guess that's because, until recently, childrens' parables were written to teach kids how to be good people and nowadays children's stories are just written to sell merchandise. Of course, this is assuming that the 1978 film is closer to the original story than the Disney adaptation.
If anyone wants to watch the full movie, here's the Youtube link:
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Red Dawn (the new one), it actually wansn't that bad. I thought it'd be terrible but I'd say its more "believeable" then the first one.
She's Out Of My League, I've watched it 3-4 times since last Friday, so I must like it. I even ended up buying it at WM for $5. Currently developing a major crush on Ms. Alice Eve.
How to Make Money Selling Drugs - A great documentary! It does an outstanding job highlighting the damage that the war on drugs has had on our country. The main theme is centered on how people are making money off the illegal drug market, from street dealers to drug cartels to the prisons to the law enforcement agencies and the politicians who write the laws.
May the force be with you.
I forgot to add in yesterday's post. The Iron Lady. I get it, MT was the only woman in a man's world, and she was at times a major biznitch, sometimes it was needed and sometimes thats just who she was.
BigB: thanks for the World War Z update.
I actually liked 2012 and still need to see Day After Tomorrow.
OC47151: as usual, (and it should not be surprising by now,) you and I have nearly identical tastes.
From Russia With Love is an excellent choice out of the James Bond movies! Excellent! Yes.
Sith_Killer: I am hopefully now making money off illegal drugs Similar to Miami Vice and Traffic, a major element in my 2nd (modern-day) novel is the drug cartel wars. Maybe when I finish I should advertise 30,000 people died in the making of this story? (Don't worry. My book continues my strong tradition of being as tasteless with my writing just like in my forums posts.)
I watched Behind Enemy Lines with Owen Wilson in a serious action-movie (true story) role with Gene Hackman. Excellent story. BigB, I believe you are a veteran of the Bosnian War? You may (or may not) appreciate this movie. I'd recorded it off AMC and they had supplemented it with interviews and historical facts. The director said he made a deliberate choice to be different by casting Wilson (normally a comedy actor) in this role. Wilson is actually great once he gets dirtied up when he ejects from being the navigator on a 2-seat F-18 on patrol during a broken cease-fire during Clinton's presidency. This actually happened. I'm not sure why they changed Wilson's character's name to Crockett but it actually was Brady in real life. Perhaps Mr. Brady did not give consent to tell his story? Not sure. The Admiral played by Hackman was actually stripped of his command for disobeying NATO orders and launching a rescue mission for this downed navigator. (In real life, Brady was the actual pilot and they didn't explain it why they made his friend the pilot, but that man's execution by the Bosnian Serbs does make the story more passionate, if in real life the F-18 was only a one-seater carrying Brady). However, this way Owen Wilson does NOT come off playing Tom Cruise's "Top Gun" character, since he's not the pilot.
The actual ship deployed on this mission was the USS Carl Vinson, and from permission from the DOD, the movie was actually filmed on the real Carl Vinson, at the actual locations the story takes place (on the ship). Top that off - the movie was actually filmed at the location the real life events occurred in Bosnia.
Finally, the reason it all went down was because in the flight recorder of the lost F-18, was the video evidence that the Bosnia-Serbs (Christians) were executing the Muslim (Bosniaks) and breaking the treaty in a conspiracy with the Croats (Catholics). [This is why I hate religion - in this world it would almost make sense if an army of Hindus suddenly showed up with RPGs trying to "save the cows." - That doesn't actually happen, btw.]
Anyway, the bad guy from Clear And Present Danger (the Cuban assassin that Harrison Ford battles) [is actually a Portugese actor] and plays the French NATO commander that Gene Hackman (the US Fleet Admiral) disobeys to recover Crockett (Brady in real life, portrayed by Wilson, if you're following me along still).
But this really happened and exactly as it went down. The SkyNews reporter (it might have actually been CNN) who covered this event in 1995 actually portrays himself and covers the event for this movie (made in 2002 I think).
The mass pile of unburied dead Muslem Bosniaks that Wilson's character falls into will remind you of everything from modern set dressing for The Walking Dead to what Adolf Hitler actually did to the Jews in WWII (as how it's depicted in Daniel Craig / Live Schreiber's "Defiance," a great movie and also a true story about a Jewish insurgency strike force that really existed and still has some members alive today).
In any case, in a world where the Muslems are often portrayed as invading immigrants bringing cultural clashes and terrorism to their new western countries of current residence (US, France, England, Germany, Russia) this is a terrible chapter in modern history (in which we all were alive) and saw the Islamists face their own "mini-holocaust." The hate between religious sects continuous and the Boston Marathon bomber had ties to the inheritors of hate for this tragedy.
Once the evidence of ethic cleansing, genocide, mass murders was recovered, President Clinton went full on in until this was (presumably) brought to a stable cease-fire. [It's not and might never be 'resolved' until we "destroy religion" world-wide - and no, I didn't say "destroy God," but that would be an over-dramatic way of putting it - and they already used that phrase in Jurassic Park, btw.
But religion is just one "quicker and easier" way to lure followers for warlords to make land and property grabs to expand their power (or Osama Bin Laden missed his flight on September 11th and wasn't a hypocrite - ha!)
But there are not a lot of movies that really explain what this is about, and I thank BigB for his service over there and highly recommend this (yeah - really) Owen Wilson movie.
Owen Wilson does not fart or pull any kind of "3-Stooges stunt at his own expense" in this movie. And like I said, he stops looking like a member of Nickelback as soon as his F-18 goes down and he has to fight to survive.
Yes, because of how you're used to seeing Wilson, a troop of Girl Scouts marching around him with balloon animals on the USS Carl Vinson seems to be missing from the start of the film, as does "Maverick and Goose," but Hackman's performance grounds those scenes just fine anyway.

Volkswagen of America has announced the official pricing for the 2013 Jetta Hybrid. The official price for the base Jetta Hybrid will be $24,995 with an SE model starting at $26,990. Volkswagen says that the hybrid version of the Jetta will be the most fuel-efficient Jetta in the lineup with an estimated combined fuel economy rating of 45 mpg.
The car is also the first hybrid in the world to use a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The 2013 Jetta Hybrid is also able to drive on electricity alone at speeds of up to 44 mph for up to 1.2 miles depending on operating conditions.
The gasoline engine of the Jetta Hybrid is a 1.4-liter turbocharged TSI engine combined with 27-HP electric motor -- total system output is listed at 170hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle in base form will feature front and rear disc brakes, daytime running lights, power heated exterior mirrors, 15-inch wheels, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and hybrid badging. The car will also have power windows and six way manually adjustable seats along with air-conditioning. The base model also features integrated Bluetooth technology and a CD player with six speakers.
The SE version of the vehicle includes all the base model features and adds LED tail lights, power reclining front seats, a media-device interface with an iPod cable (
perhaps?), and a premium touchscreen radio along with keyless entry and start. The high-end hybrid SEL will sell for $29,325 and adds a sunroof, navigation system, heated front seats, and more. Volkswagen's top-of-the-line Jetta Hybrid, the SEL Premium, will start at $31,180.
The SEL Premium version gets the hardware from the SEL plus navigation, LED daytime running lights, and active front light system, bi-xenon headlights, 17-inch wheels, and a premium audio system and more.

Marilyn Minter makes big "dirty" paintings of body parts in extreme close-up. They zero in on glistening red lips dripping with sweat. Or muddy feet in high heels splashed by rain. Or eyelids smacked with glitter. Painted in enamel on slick metal surfaces—the final coat always applied using her fingers—Minter's pictures infuse the grotesque with the glamorous. That ability to make the repulsive look sexy has won her an audience that continues to grow—a retrospective of her career will open in 2015 at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, then travel to other cities—and she's only getting better at it.
Back in 1989, Minter took images from cookbooks and painted them so suggestively that she titled the works Food Porn. But for most of her career as an artist with a scarlet streak of feminism, the 65-year-old has subverted prevailing standards of beauty. "I've been interested in debasement my whole life," she says. "But I don't push boundaries on purpose—it's just how I see, and I want to see real people. What's wrong with not having a face-lift?" She riffs on pornography and fashion, both "powerful forces in our culture," she says. "I'm reflecting the time I live in. It's not interpretation." (Her own fashion tends toward Marni, partly because the brand's SoHo shop is across the street from the loft Minter shares with her partner of 22 years, husband Bill Miller, a retired financial adviser.)
This month, you can just make out the mouths filled with pearls in the paintings she's showing at Art Basel Miami Beach. They look like smears under wet glass that she's wiped off. "The glass is an illusion that gives you distance," she says. "Sometimes there's more information in an indirect look."
That's the Spirit!
