An East Hampton man stands accused this week of selling over 60 forged paintings, which he claimed to be by Jackson Pollock, to private collectors and on eBay, netting him nearly $1.9 million.
A special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in seeking a warrant for the arrest of John D. Re, 54, said he had engaged in the scheme since March 2005 and at least until this past January. According to the complaint by the agent, Meredith Savona of the bureau's art theft and art fraud division, Mr. Re falsely told collectors he had come across a trove of Pollock paintings in 1999, when he was hired to clean out the basement of an East Hampton woman, Barbara Schulte, three years after the death of her husband, George Schulte, a woodworker and antiques restorer.
Mrs. Schulte, who later moved to Marblehead, Mass., died last year. Members of the family have not returned calls for comment.
East Hampton Village police arrested Mr. Re on Friday morning for driving with a suspended license, and turned him over to the F.B.I. Arraigned on one count of wire fraud later that day in Federal District Court in Manhattan, he was released on $150,000 bond on his own signature, "but will have to get two co-signers in two weeks to secure the bond" and remain free, said Jerika L. Richardson, a spokeswoman for the federal district attorney's office for the Southern District.
Mr. Re has a history of arrests. In 1995, he was accused of being part of a counterfeit money ring that created stacks of fake $20 bills using a home printing press. He pleaded guilty to one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument in that case and was sentenced to two and a half to seven years in prison.
His brushes with the law since then include violations of probation, leaving the scene of an accident, and weapons charges.
According to the F.B.I., Mr. Re repeatedly used Mrs. Schulte's name to create a chain of ownership, or provenance, for the so-called Pollocks. He told collectors he had discovered a "basement which was full of boxes, antiques, and art which had been collected over many years by George Schulte."
The complaint notes that the International Foundation for Art Research told one wary collector that "several members of Mr. Schulte's immediate family, as well as his close friends, informed I.F.A.R. that Mr. Schulte never claimed to own artworks by Pollock."
The complaint does not say who actually painted the alleged forgeries, but notes that Mr. Re is himself a painter, whose work was "Abstract Expressionist in style."
The first sale, in March 2005, was to someone identified only as Collector 2. Mr. Re continued selling to this individual through 2012, with a total of 58 paintings changing hands, for $519,890.
In 2006, he sold a group of paintings to "Collector 1," who purchased 12 works for $894,500. Again, he used the Schulte basement as provenance. The next year, Collector 1 sent one of the paintings to an expert to be authenticated, and was told that the "materials in the painting were not available during Pollock's lifetime." Mr. Re then offered the work to Collector 2. The complaint is not clear as to the outcome of that transaction.
In 2011, Collector 2 told Mr. Re he was going to send some of the paintings he had purchased to the International Foundation for Art Research. Mr. Re tried to dissuade him, telling him there were "horror stories" about the organization. He wrote in an email, "You know that I have had problems with a few world experts in my time. And that I got in trouble many years ago, and that it was fake money, and that could really work against the art." The question of "how did George Schulte get so many has, at times, held me and the art back from breaking free of the expert bullshit."
The collector ended up sending 45 paintings to IFAR, which wrote back that "following a thorough investigation, which included in-person examinations of all 45 paintings by specialists and conservators, extensive provenance and art historical research, and physical examination and selective forensic testing of the material," none were by Pollock.
IFAR added that the works were "remarkably, and disturbingly, analogous to each other in palette, composition, and overall execution, much more similar, in fact, than any of Pollock's authentic works are to each other."
Collector 3 became involved in 2012, the complaint says, purchasing three works for a total of $475,000. One of them was shown to an art dealer in Manhattan, who licked his finger and ran it over what appeared to be a smudge of dirt. Some of the paint came off. The dealer told the collector that the painting was not a Pollock.
The fourth collector was from Texas. The complaint cites an email sent by Mr. Re to this person: "This is a very strong Pollock. Slight crackling throughout, and a very little browning on the front. More on the rear. Not bad for a 62 to 64-year-old painting that has been in a basement for maybe 55 of those years."
An art agent for a fifth collector, both of them based in New York, was offered several paintings in January. The complaint does not say whether that sale went through.
The prices paid for individual paintings by Collector 2, the one who paid Mr. Re over half a million dollars, were so far below market value, said the F.B.I. agent, that the likelihood of their being real was about nil. The most expensive was sold for $60,000. That collector also purchased 24 "Pollocks" for $5,000 or less each, including 10 for about $1,000 each.
In September 2011, Mr. Re told Collector 2 he was considering sending one painting to the Getty Museum with a new provenance. In capital letters, he wrote that "WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FACE THE FIRE SOONER OR LATER. I BELIEVE I HAVE FOUND WHAT WOULD BE CONCIDERED THE GREATEST CONTEMPORARY ART FIND IN HISTORY." Collector 2 panicked, believing Mr. Re would destroy the value of the paintings if he changed the provenance. Mr. Re responded, "I sold that art to you at high yard sale prices."
In November 2013, Collector 3 agreed to allow the F.B.I. to monitor a phone call with Mr. Re, who was asking for two of the paintings back.
"I grew up in Brooklyn, okay?" Mr. Re reportedly said on the tape. "My mother's from the Bonanno family, which means Gambino. If you got to call me back one more time, your mother's going to start wondering why you stopped visiting her."
Mr. Re sold several purported Pollocks on eBay, using shill bidders to drive up the prices, according to the complaint. The F.B.I. obtained an email in which he asked an unnamed party to place an eBay bid of $26,600 on one painting he was selling, then had a second shill bid incrementally up to $27,200.
Last month, Ms. Savona interviewed Mr. Re several times. He described himself as an art expert and told her he had never sold any of the purported Pollocks from the Schulte basement as "authentic." She then confronted him with the records of his eBay transactions, in which he told bidders that the paintings were real.
"Re said he would take the weight for anything he did that was wrong, but that he did not think he had done anything wrong," the agent wrote.
Abstract Expressionism, Ms. Savona noted in seeking a warrant for Mr. Re's arrest, is a favorite target of forgers.

Food in Lima
Thanks to jet-lag-free time zones and direct flights from half a dozen U.S. cities, getting right to the heart of one of these emerging destinations is easier than ever. In Lima, eat food you can't find anywhere else.
At a time when it's possible to travel halfway around the world and find a Chicago-style pizza, it's rare to hit upon a place where the food is worth the flight. And it may seem all the more surprising to discover that place is Lima—formerly known as a jumping-off point for adventure seekers. "Lima used to only be regarded as a transit hub," notes Giovanna Maggiolo, a pastry chef who, in October 2008, opened Xocolatl, a gallery-like artisanal chocolate shop selling candies and cakes stuffed with Amazonian fruits (xocolatl.pe, bonbons 90¢). "Travelers would come, spend a night, and then go off to Machu Picchu. Now they stay—and they're here to eat."
Lima's first celebrity chef, Gastón Acurio, came onto the scene 15 years ago. Acurio, who made his name putting new spins on traditional Peruvian cooking at his institution Astrid y Gastón, is best known for his inventive flavor combinations. For example, he adds pickled daikon to seared cuy—better known as guinea pig (astridygaston.com, entrées from $10). But even fixtures like Acurio are finding new inspiration. His latest venture, the year-old Panchita, turns out refined interpretations of street foods like anticuchos, or beef-heart skewers, and crisp suckling pig with pan-fried rice and beans (Av. 2 de Mayo 298, 011-51/1-242-5957, entrées from $7).
While Acurio is redefining Peruvian staples in modern ways, others are creating surreal but delicious one-of-a-kind concoctions. At Malabar, a warmly lit space in the financial center of San Isidro with edgy, contemporary nude paintings and photographs of buildings in decay, chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino incorporates ingredients from the Peruvian Amazon (river snails, gooseberries) into his seasonal dishes; standouts include the seared mackerel with chilled alpaca ham and cucumber in a vermouth vinaigrette, as well as the baby goat braised in artisanal corn beer and served with yucca pastry (malabar.com.pe; entrées from $12). And in the Barranco neighborhood to the south, in a renovated early 20th-century mansion decorated with antique barber chairs, mismatched tables, and multimedia collages, hip Limeños gather at the year-old Ayahuasca Bar for coca-leaf sours and cocktails made with purple corn and Peruvian pisco, a distilled grape brandy (ayahuascabar.com, cocktails from $6).
Smart hoteliers are also seizing the opportunity to attract the new foodie crowd: In October 2008, the Duo Hotel Boutique, a contemporary 20-room inn, opened on a quiet side street in San Isidro and hired up-and-comer Javier Paredes to create the cafe's Peruvian-Mediterranean menu (duohotelperu.com, from $120). Specialties include a chicken salad drizzled with a sauce made from aguaymanto, a berry native to the Andes—available here, and here alone.

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts have roared into Milwaukee to celebrate the 110th anniversary of Harley-Davidson Co, but few traveled as far as Chai Chua.
The 46-year-old business owner bid farewell to his wife and three children in Brunei about a week ago and set off with seven of his closest friends. They flew to Los Angeles, then hopped on rented Harley-Davidson motorcycles and headed to the Midwestern state.
"My wife knows I am crazy about this," said Chua, after arriving at the site of the party, where he and his friends joined the crowds marking the motorcycle maker's anniversary over the Labor Day weekend.
"We have seen the prairies, the mountains, Mount Rushmore and now the Mecca for riders," Chua said, shouting over blues music outside of the Harley-Davidson Museum where revelers kicked off the celebration with a bike rally on Thursday.
Nearby, a long procession of the motorcycles, nicknamed "hogs," rumbled onto the museum campus, where riders parked their bikes in tight rows creating a glistening sea of shiny steel.
Riders donned black leather, as well as an assortment of denim, bandanas and Harley-Davidson orange, as they snapped photos, drank beer and marveled at the spectacle.
"It's exciting ... . (There's) a lot of personal satisfaction in doing it," said Fernando Dorantes, 52, an engineer from Toluca, Mexico, where he and seven of his friends began their five-day, 2,600-mile (4,200-km) journey to Milwaukee.
The party spread across several sites in the city, including the SummerFest grounds where bands including ZZ Top, Blue Oyster Cult and the Doobie Brothers performed.
"It doesn't matter what you are or what you look like. As long as you ride, it's a brotherhood," said Bobby Hite, 40, of Culver, Indiana, after getting a 110th anniversary tattoo on his left bicep. "You got the cackle, the rumble between your legs."
Harley-Davidson has long relied on a white, male and middle-aged consumer base, an approach reflected in the makeup of the Milwaukee crowd.
But in recent years, it has begun to try to design motorcycles that appeal to younger riders, women and minorities.
The celebration focused on the evolution of the bike during the past century, with guests going on tours of the Harley plant, a few miles from where William Harley and Arthur Davidson began making them in a shed in 1903.
"This is where it all began. Harley Davidson is my life. Besides my kids, it is my life," said Terry Martin, 59, of Boston, as he sat on his motorcycle next to a replica of the shed at the company's headquarters.
The celebration comes weeks after rival Polaris Industries relaunched the Indian motorcycle, a storied U.S. brand two years older than Harley-Davidson, at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, hallowed ground for legions of Harley-Davidson enthusiasts who flock to South Dakota each year.
But on this weekend in Milwaukee, it is all about the hog and its colorful array of devoted riders who crave the open road.
"It's freedom," said Drew Canon, a 45-year-old Texan with a short gray beard and tattooed arms. "You feel all of your senses. You smell it all, you hear it all."

In recent decades, scores of books, manuals, and websites advocating "incarnational ministry" have encouraged Christians to move beyond ministry at a distance and to "incarnate" and immerse themselves into local cultures. Some give a step-by-step "incarnation process" for Christians crossing cultures. Some call us to become incarnate by "being Jesus" to those around us. Indeed, many of these resources display valuable insights into relational and cross-cultural ministry. But there are serious problems at the core of most approaches to "incarnational ministry"—problems with biblical, theological, and practical implications.
I encountered these problems myself as a practitioner of "incarnational ministry." At a Christian college, I was told that just as God became flesh in a particular culture 2,000 years ago, my job was to become "incarnate" in another culture. Eight months later, equipped with training in cultural anthropology, I set about learning the language and culture in Uganda. But I quickly ran into doubts about the "incarnational" method. Would the Ugandans necessarily "see Jesus" as a result of my efforts at cultural identification? Was I assuming that my own presence—rather than that of Christ—was redemptive? Is the eternal Word's act of incarnation really an appropriate model for ministry?
My questions multiplied as I continued my theological education. Biblical scholars and theologians assured me that the Bible and orthodox Christian theology taught nothing about us "becoming incarnate." Going back to my professors of missiology and ministry, I heard a quite practical response: If not the Incarnation, what is the alternative model for culture-crossing ministries? Over the past decade, I have come ...1

Prosperity Index – NZ ranked 5th in world
The Legatum 2012 Prosperity Index has been released. Interestingly NZ is ranked 5th overall and a breakdown is given here of the various factors. A guide is here.
On the NZ page there is the facility to compare NZ results with any of the other countries which provides a very useful comparison. It should provide food for thought in that if we are so strong in many respects why are we not more successful and also how bad some of the others must be.
Note NZ worst ranking is in the economic sphere, which long term does not bode well.
Well worth a look.

IF's majority shareholder is physically moving the company to NH for some sound business reasons, but IF has always been about the boston area, so lloyd, tyler, and some others quit immediately. I think the whole thing fucking blows. The initial idea, and the reaction. I have been saving for years for another IF and now I don't know what the fuck is happening. Is anyone actually thinking about the customers?
- January 10, 2011 at 7:49 PM
- Jeff said...
I tend to disagree. No one person is bigger than the whole, unless your name is on the down tube. I consider Joe and Tyler friends and I am sad to hear of their departure. However, as an industry veteran, I can attest that there are some very, very talented, creative and passionate individuals in bike biz who are probably chomping at the bit to join the remaining group of artisans there at IF. As long as the passion is maintained and the ultimate goal remains the same it can only be a good thing. Some fresh blood and ideas can lead to great things. And as far as location goes, as someone who grew up on the seacoast of New Hampshire, most everyone who lives in a 60 mile radius of the city considers themselves a Bostonian for all intents and purposes. It may not be a proper urban setting, but it still has a lot of heritage. Additionally, when I purchased my Crown Jewel, my motivating factors was ride and build quality. It was a secondary benefit that I was supporting a local company. I'd be surprised if factory location plays that a big factor in the purchasing decision of the majority of IF customers.

The location helped, a little. My wife was pleased to see the Somerville sticker on my seat tube. I lived in S'ville when we met but moved one town over before I bought the IF - couldn't afford a condo in S'ville.
But my wife is a UNH grad and thinks Newmarket is a cool place as well so that sticker might get me points as well.

Wow, I was wondering what was behind the sudden exodus! Joe, Kevin and the rest of the crew (I never did make it to Somerville) have been the most supportive over the years as I raced for the Grassroots team. I guess like Shelbys you can have one of the Somerville originals or the new New Hampshire Live Free or Die frames.
Would guess some of this is being driven by the beneficial tax status and costs associated with moving out of Mass. It could have been a case of stay in Somerville and close or move and live another day. That is for the owners to determine, either way Indy Fab rules!

It amazes me how unaware folks are of the actual history of Fat City, yet continue to make comparisons.
Chris Chance did not move Fat City. The brand was purchased after his business had failed, and Chris was asked to join the "new" Fat City as it was consolidated with Serotta by the same investor group.
A very different scenario than IF today.

A company is a business first and business decisions aren't always easy. Employees and companies come to crossroads all the time. My guess is for those that left, that it was more than just a location change. Though I'm sure moving out of Boston to NH will save some serious money as well as give employees cheaper cost of living choices.
They're moving 60 miles north... its not like its China.

People freaked when IF added Ti bikes to their line up saying, "IF is a steel company!"
People Freaked when they put carbon and Ti together on the XS.
People freaked when IF came out with the Corvid an all carbon bike.
So far IF's changes have won awards, sold more bikes then ever, and has a clear new direction.
Yeah I would say IF knows what it takes to succeed. Gary only wants IF to succeed. With his focus on that I have no doubt that is going to happen!

Indy Fab,
I know obviously someone on the 'inside' would have a more accurate picture of what really happened between Fat and Serotta back in the day, but I was wrenching in a shop selling both at the time so I'm somewhat familiar w/ it (though my recollection is somewhat spotty).
anyway, I more had in mind the events afterwards, when Chris tried to start up again in NH, not so much the Serotta relocation.
regardless, I'm just making anonymous snarky comments. in all reality, I love IF and hope it all works out for you/them/everybody.

- Eric said...
well, speaking only for myself - and perhaps a few others if they agree - I think the trepidation is more wondering what kind of builder IF will become as a result of these changes. if business expediency is the primary issue, then (like any number of small family-owned italian builders) what's to prevent IFs being made in Taiwan™? as with another post-er I am saving for another IF frame, but I'd hate to see business decisions begin to cloud what is a beautiful and functionally perfect object.
- January 13, 2011 at 4:48 PM
- Prez said...
I think this is the reason IF is finding a stable footing so that they continue to be made in the USA to the same if not higher quality then they were made i the last few years. Gary brining back former staff to help carry IF in the now and future shows a hell of a lot of desire to keep folks form the past and secure more for the future.
IF's future looks bright as long as people can see past their own nose. IF is not one person regardless of the talented people who no longer work there. There have been great people who have worked at IF and some of those people have come back. Loads of folks also got their start at IF and have become great as a result. Allow for new folks to learn from experienced ones and keep that happening.
Saving for another IF frame is the beginning of one made with qualified hands and to be honest i am looking forward to when I can get one of the new frames from the new factory!

Interesting string, indeed. Although (at least in my boss's view) I spend far too much time reading bike stuff on the internet, I hadn't picked up on these events. I've had an IF Crown Jewel for almost 10 years -- steel with an after market carbon frame, because at that time IF didn't make carbon forks. I LOVE the bike.
I live in Maryland right outside DC, so while I understand the Boston thing, that's not why I bought my IF -- I bought it for the ride, and because my (trusted) bike shop had amazing things to say about IF bikes. I rode lots of other bikes, including (then) comparably priced carbon frames -- the Postal Service team bike (really).
The real question for me is, what will my bike shop (or other great bike shops) say about IF when I'm looking for my next bike. Will they say that I can get a great bike for a lot less from a "macro" bike company? That I should look at, say, a Calfee because IF isn't the same?
It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out. Things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not

Brisbane Escortskunstig fisseIf you're going to grad school to be a computer programmer, you're going to get out and get a job as a computer programmer. If you're going to grad school in the humanities, you're more likely going to end up as "a telephone operator" or an adjunct (which pays less), or maybe you'll just be unemployed. It maynot seem like it's about the money when you start out, because you're passionate about your subject and delusional about your future prospects, but it damn sure is about the money when you get to the end and can't find work after all those years you slaved away pursuing the "life of the mind."

To Yoga in India?
The new husband is a big yoga buff. We're traveling to the homeland of yoga and unlike similar institutions in California or Ibiza, yoga ashrams can be amazing and affordable in India. Where do I begin with research? We fly into Delhi and I certainly want to visit Rishikesh, which, it seems, is both a hill station and spiritual home for Hindus. it's also a great launch pad for adventure travel in India and... yoga! Apparently it's known as the yoga capital of the world. And, for Beatle buffs out there, this is where the fab four met the Maharishi and began their love affair with transcendental meditation.
So... research thus far has unearthed a few promising ashrams, including Parmarth Niketan, Bharat Heritage Services, Braham Yoga... then there's the decision about what sort of yoga to do?!

Smile Makeover
Smile Makeover
- Details
- Category: Cosmetic Dentistry
Do you find yourself often covering your mouth when your smile? Do you feel self conscious about stains or discoloration in your teeth? Do you wish your teeth were more aligned? Very few of us are born with perfect smiles yet having a beautiful smile that you feel confident about is still attainable with clinic.
The smile makeover process may include one or a combination of the following procedures: composite bonding, dental veneers, teeth whitening and dental implants. Smile makeovers are generally elective and for esthetic purposes.
A full mouth reconstruction would be a procedure for a patient in which severe health and functional problems require necessary treatment to repair the teeth, gums and bone structure of the mouth. Full mouth reconstruction is for this reason categorized as restorative dentistry rather than cosmetic.

Founded in 1996 by Jay M. McDonald, M.D., the Center for Metabolic Bone Disease (CMBD) is today directed by Majd Zayzafoon, M.D., PhD., Associate Professor, Department of Pathology. The development of the CMBD has been a faculty-driven effort, characteristic of many successful programs at UAB.
Although the overall research environment at UAB is fertile and dynamic, prior to formation of the CMBD, there were few coordinated research efforts in metabolic bone diseases, no centralized osteoporosis clinic and only scattered independent clinical trials in osteoporosis at UAB. Since its inception, a comprehensive multi-disciplinary osteoporosis clinic is being successfully operated, representing a prototype for UAB, core facilities to support research and education have been developed, clinical trials have increased, and new faculty in basic bone biology, biomedical engineering and clinical research have been recruited.
The CMBD represents one of twenty-one designated university-wide interdisciplinary research centers at UAB, determined by competitive internal competition. A University-wide interdisciplinary research center at UAB is defined as one that involves multiple schools in a true interdisciplinary manner. In 1996 the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama designated the CMBD as a Center of Excellence.

This year's bountyof new holiday releases offers thoughts of the season from a slew of musicians, including a pair of singers who've officially "Got Talent," an "American Idol" alumnus, a neo-rockabilly hipster, a former member of an influential British pop-rock duo, a key voice from one of the most beloved Christmas albums of the rock era and a trio classic rockers' offspring with hits of their own.
Calendar offers our annual rundown — sorry, Grandma — of the best, and not, of the fresh crop, which, as always, range from deeply reverential to outright cynical. Let the ride down Santa Claus Lane begin — with 1 star being an inessential release, and 4 stars indicating a classic-in-the-making:
11 Acorn Lane "Happy Holy Days" (Wooden Hat Records)
✭✭ ½
11 Acorn Lane is the moniker of nom de accomplished musical whimsy used by New York-based duo featuring of Neal Pawley and Thomas Foyer, who play all the instruments on this expansive, whimsical big-band-lounge workout inspired heavily by the retro stylings of Esquivel. Along with loopy arrangements of familiar carols, there's one original holiday-ish march and a couple of mazinkas traditionally played at Jewish weddings. Novelty-ish for sure, but often entertainingly out of the box.
Mandy Barnett "Winter Wonderland" (Rounder)
The Nashville singer with pipes of steel, who first earned plaudits for her star turn in the musical "Always … Patsy Cline," avoids sounding generically country thanks to hard-swinging backing from such instrumental greats as guitarist Harold Bradley, steel player Lloyd Green and drummer Gene Chrisman. Her big, brassy voice and vintage-sounding arrangements still echo Cline at times, but as she employs them in "All I Want for Christmas Is You," what a glorious echo it is.
Susan Boyle "The Gift" (Columbia)
✭✭ ½
The " Britain's Got Talent" sensation sidesteps an utterly predictable (if faultlessly sung) session of unrelentingly ethereal yuletide traditionals by sprinkling in a few offbeat song choices (for which she credits Simon Cowell and Nick Raymonde in the liner notes), including Lou Reed's deceptively sunny "Perfect Day" and Crowded House's melancholy "Don't Dream It's Over." Sonically beautiful but a bit lacking in real spirit.
Mariah Carey "Merry Christmas II You" (Island/HSN)
The R&B diva's 1994 "Merry Christmas" collection is a perennial bestseller, and she's followed it another exhibition of her signature ADD vocals on a new batch of tunes, the only holdover being a reprise of the song she co-wrote that's become a contemporary holiday standard, "All I Want For Christmas is You." Her unrelenting melisma will leave many in awe, others exhausted. The Home Shopping Network's package includes an exclusive DVD with 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage on the making of the album.
Dr. Elmo "Bluegrass Christmas" (Time Life)
It's hard to imagine just who's been clamoring for a full-length follow-up to Elmo & Patsy's inescapable 1979 Christmas novelty classic "Grandma Got Run Over By a Raindeer," reprised here as an instrumental. Banjo player Elmo Shropshire's vocal rasp is perfectly suited to this Appalachia-rooted music, and he's at his best when he plays it straightest. There are, however, many, many more accomplished bluegrass-soaked holiday collections already in circulation.
Jason Michael Carroll "Christmas on the Farm" (Arista)
The Carolina-born country singer and songwriter targets the back porches of rural America with his five-song EP. Most are sung and played in unfussy acoustic arrangements, except for the electrified title track, which goes a bit overboard with the country-cliché imagery.
Jackie Evancho "O Holy Night" (Columbia)
The 10-year-old "America's Got Talent" prodigy wraps her preternaturally mature-sounding soprano around a quartet of classically minded seasonal/religious numbers on the first disc of this budget-priced CD/DVD package. The DVD includes her AGT audition and some performances from the show. Short, but impressively and reverentially sweet. And, yes, she nails the money note in "O Holy Night."
The "Glee" Cast "Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album" (Columbia)
You love the show or you don't. The cast charms, or makes you scramble for the channel button on the remote. Their sugarplum sweet holiday album won't change either response. Lea Michele's Rachel gets the most time in the spotlight, and stops the show with her "O Holy Night."
Jimi Hendrix "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" (Experience Hendrix)
This abbreviated session includes two passes at his 1969 medley of "Little Drummer Boy/Silent Night/Auld Lang Syne," featuring Hendrix's Band of Gypsys co-horts Billy Cox (bass) and Buddy Miles (drums). "Three Little Bears," a playful original, is an "Electric Ladyland" outtake that's been out of circulation for a quarter century and captures him in 1968 with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell, before the Jimi Hendrix Experience disbanded. It's 16 minutes of guitar-shredding fun, largely for Hendrix die-hards.
Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks "Crazy for Christmas" (Surfdog)
The Bay Area hipster goes off the map for most of the smart songs on this elegantly swinging outing. The perfect accompaniment to a holiday martini gathering.
Indigo Girls "Happy Holly Days" (Vanguard)
Amy Ray and Emily Sailers, aka the Indigos, apply their rootsy folk-country-bluegrass sensibility winningly to a handful of originals, a few carols and Woody Guthrie's playful "Happy Joyous Hanukkah." Not every new idea works, but they've got the right spirit.
The Irreconcilables "Merry Ex-Mas" (Merry Ex-Mas Records)
This ad hoc group of studio musicians and songwriters get, and often give, a kick out of reveling in the predicament of making it through the holidays after, or during, a divorce. Titles including "Hark the Hell Has Just Begun" and "Frosty My Ex-Wife" give you an idea of where they go with these 10 twisted takes on the Yuletide spirit.
Annie Lennox "A Christmas Cornucopia" (Decca)
One miracle of the modern holiday season is that anyone can find fresh takes on this music, yet the former Eurythmics singer seems to hear, and thus sing, the songs she's chosen as if for the first time. Unexpected harmonic, melodic and rhythmic choices buoy such stalwarts as "The First Noel," "The Holly and the Ivy" and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," and she brightens the mix further with lesser-known tunes including "See Amid the Winter's Snow," "As Joseph Was A Walking" and one anthem-ish original, "Universal Child."
Shelby Lynne "Merry Christmas" (Everso)
✭✭✭ ½
The wild child of alt-country singer-songwriters plays it pretty straight on her holiday outing, contributing two blues originals ("Ain't Nothin' Like Christmas" and "Xmas") to her touchingly spare, uncommonly intimate performances of seasonal standards ("O Holy Night," "Silent Night") and pop and country chestnuts ("Christmas Time's A-Comin'" "Silver Bells" and the Peanuts gang's "Christmas Time Is Here").
Katharine McPhee "Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You" (Verve Forecast)
The "American Idol" Season 5 runner-up sounds as shimmering and lush as you'd expect, with fewer surprises up her sleeveless gown than you might hope. Her gospelized attempt at "Jingle Bells" doesn't click, and "It's Not Christmas Without You," which she co-wrote, comes off more self-pitying than she probably intended. Her "AI" fans, however, likely will gobble it up.
Point of Grace "Home for the Holidays" (Curb)
The country-pop trio gets all misty-eyed and sugary over everything the holiday season represents to them. That translates into a mix of secular sentiments ("White Christmas," "Silver Bells") and less well-trod contemporary Christian-minded choices ("Immanuel," "Labor of Love").
The Puppini Sisters "Christmas With the Puppini Sisters" (Verve)
There's only one Puppini — singer and multi-instrumentalist Marcella — so the sisterhood is strictly musical within this British trio that also features Kate Mullins and Stephanie O'Brien. Their obvious affinity for old-school pop harmonizing a la the Andrews Sisters is a great fit with this mélange of largely secular numbers from the period ("White Christmas," "Here Comes Santa Claus") and a couple of rock-era entries ( Elton John's "Step Into Christmas," George Michael's "Last Christmas"). Christmas swings.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra "Christmas Comes Alive!" (Surfdog)
Since releasing his first big-band swing collection of holiday music in 2002, the British singer and guitarist has turned the season in to a cottage industry with a follow-up album, a couple of Christmas compilations and more than 100 Yuletime CQ concerts. This was recorded last year with his 18-piece band and captures a fairly sizzling performance of many of the numbers he'd released in studio versions.
Sean Smith "Christmas" (Tompkins Square)
Bay Area guitarist Sean Smith's solo acoustic recording harks back — favorably — to John Fahey's celebrated Christmas recordings. The spare arrangements and reverential performances quietly convey the humble spirit of the holiday's origin.
Ronnie Spector "Best Christmas Ever" (Bad Girl Sounds)
The former Ronettes singer's voice is inextricably linked with the holidays thanks to her prominent role on her ex's "A Christmas Gift for You" rock holiday classic collection. She's wisely opted not to try recreating Phil's signature wall of sound on this five-song EP, but blends vintage R&B, smooth jazz and easy listening on five modestly charming originals written for her. Her voice isn't the force of nature it once was, but it still oozes sincerity.
Various Artists "Gift Wrapped II: Snowed In" ( Warner Bros.)
A something-for-everyone grab bag like this virtually assures that hardly anyone will connect with everything. The 21 tracks span Devo's loopy Euro-dance original "Merry Something to You," David Foster's shopping-mall pop arrangement of "Carol of the Bells," Tegan and Sara's rodent-friendly update of "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" and the Flaming Lips' work-in-progress live run-through of "Little Drummer Boy." Available as an iTunes download and a limited edition vinyl double-LP set.
Various Artists "Now That's What I Call Christmas! 4" (EMI/Universal/Sony)
✭✭ ½
The marquee number on this fourth edition of the cross-label compilation is Rihanna's new reggae-soaked original "A Child Is Born." The two-CD set of contemporary and classic holiday tracks also pulls in Lady Gaga's festive 2008 single "Christmas Tree," but the majority of the cuts on the disc billed as "superstars of today" have appeared previously, just as most tracks on the second disc featuring stars of "yesterday," including Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley and Johnny Mathis et al., have been recycled endlessly, making this set relevant primarily to those who've never bought a holiday collection in their lives.
Various Artists "'Tis the Season to Be Fearless" (Fearless)
✭✭ 1/2
The indie rock/pop-punk label's first holiday collection is a brash collection of songs of the season, most of them originals, from eight acts from the roster including For All Those Sleeping, Sparks The Rescue, Go Radio and Breathe Carolina. A lively choice that could result in a discovery or two for the adventurous teen listener on your shopping list.
Various Artists "The Year Without a Santa Claus" (Capitol)
✭✭ 1/2
The title refers to Phyllis McGinley's charming 1956 Christmas poem, which Boris Karloff recorded in 1968 as a Capitol Records promotional item that's never previously been commercially available. It's a delight that will appeal to fans of his beloved interpretation of Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." It runs only about 16 minutes, so the disc is filled out with a half dozen Santa-related tracks by the Beach Boys, Alvin & the Chipmunks, Johnny Mercer and others pulled from the Capitol- EMI vaults.
Wilson Phillips "Christmas in Harmony" ( Sony Masterworks)
Sisters Wendy and Carnie Wilson and Chynna Phillips — the erstwhile hit-making offspring of Beach Boy Brian Wilson and Mamas & the Papas' John and Michele Phillips — are back with a Glen Ballard-produced collection that frothily tips a stockingcap to the grand-scale pop-rock of Phil Spector and the moody atmospherics of Chris Isaak. The general deficit of vocal character vanishes on their gorgeous album-closing reading of Brian Wilson's a cappella vocalese masterpiece "Our Prayer."

text: learned something the other day from an old timer plumber tht i thought i would pass on, many of you might already be aware of this...but i will post anyway. i had that seeping problem on my sewage stack, plumber came out and repacked the lead. then told me "if it continues to seep you dont need to call me, do this yourself" anyway it is a vertical joint with cast iron pipe, requiring a lead joint. lead being very hard to work with vertically. he showed me a product by quickrete he uses in lieu of lead called "hydraulic water stop, instaplug cement". available for about 4 bucks a tub, it dries quick...easier to work with, and makes a great seal. will probably last longer than led too. actually needed to use this today on another problem, and it worked well. and cut the job in half for time. just something ithought i would pass on

290g glutinous rice flour
10g black sesame powder

he pulled his blasters and got in front of the queen
Most of the Naboo soldiers toppled backwards or forwards, smoke pouring from there chests. Only a few bounty hunters died at a time. Aegob and Saqeurt ran away with the queen and a few guards to gain cover. They were in a big room that had no people in except themselves........
aegob locked down the room
" The bounty hunters wont get in here now...." said Aegob smiling.....
Aegob heard a bang from the door "They must be trying to blast through the door!" he said
The guards went in front of the queen, protectly her. " Senator Amidala, get behind me! " A guard said.
aegob holstered one blaster and took out his vibrosword. the door exploded and aegob ran through blasting and slashing
Aegob took down 4 bounty hunters before being knocked unconsious. Saquert lifted his blaster and took down 7 bounty hunters, he holstered it again. The guards took down the rest. 3 of the palace's guards were dead. about 10 of the bounty hunters from who-nos? were dead. it was going well......
Aegob woke up to see someone reaching for his weapons. HE pointed the gun at them."NOBODY TAKES MY WEAPONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled. he almost shot them but realized it was a guard. he rose to his feet shakily. he was hurting everywhere.he sheathed his weapons and almost fell down he was so wounded. He felt blood in his mouth. He looked down he had blood all over the place and many wounds he would need medical attention but duty first. The guard tried to help keep him standing but aegob pushed him away.
"Sir you need medical-" the guard started to say.
"Shut up" aegob said angrily.
He turned around looking for the queen. she was there and unwounded.
"You need" she started to say
He wasn't getting any medical attention until he figured out who attacked the queen.
Aegob was very mad, and he wanted to know who attacked the queen. He needed medical attention, but he wasn't taking the offer.....
"We'll take you by force" saquert said.
"I'll kill anybody who tries" aegob replied angrily
" Come on! Lets go after them, we cant let them escape again! " Saquert shouted....

- News: Chelsea make Bruma offer – agent
- News: Chelsea reward travelling fans
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes summer signings Andre Schurrle and Marco van Ginkel are ready to make an instant impact when the Premier League season gets underway next month.
After Mourinho started his second spell as Blues boss with his first training sessions at the club's Cobham HQ this week, he is now preparing to take charge of a Chelsea team once more on a pre-season tour of Asia.
While most observers suspect Mourinho's squad is not complete as he eyes up a couple of major summer signings, he has spoken in glowing terms of the deals Chelsea have managed to complete this summer after seeing 22-year-old Schurrle and 20-year-old Van Ginkel in action over the last few days.
"Andre Schurrle is still so young but he already has great history because he plays in his national team, he has played Champions League and he played three complete seasons for Bayer Leverkusen," Mourinho told the Chelsea website.
"He is a player who is absolutely ready and he gives us more than one position in attack and adds quality. He will be important for us.
"Marco van Ginkel is one of the best prospects. He is not yet like Schurrle – close to being a finished product – but he is a player with great potential.
"Of course he needs to play and he will, because he is a player with great potential and physically he is more than ready. He is a natural athlete. By the technical and the tactical point of view of course he is a kid, he has to learn, but I think he is very open-minded and we analysed him for quite a long time.
"The Chelsea scouting department did it for quite a long time and I did it in the last five or six months, and we made a collective decision to bring the kid here."
Mourinho has been full of praise for the attitude of his squad as they have adapted to life under yet another Chelsea manager, and he has hinted youngsters Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Tomas Kalas will all have a role to play in his first team, after they enjoyed successful loan spells last season.
"They are good players with a very good value in the market and we have these players this season for free, after an investment that the club did before," he added of the trio. "After the development of the players on loan it is the right moment for them to be back.
"They are very young with space to develop, they will be better year after year and I can imagine in five years they are much better than today, but what they have today is more than enough to belong to this squad.
"We have a team to develop, we have a team to work. Of course we know there are expectations already and we want to create expectations for ourselves, we don't need other people to create them.
"So we are a very young squad. We have an average age of 26.3 and the reality is the best period of this team has yet to arrive. In five, six, seven years time, this team will be in the best moment of their careers."
