Can you believe how cold it is? Digging a warm jacket out of the bottom of the wardrobe was the last thing I expected to do in the end of May! But hey, summer will be here soon, right? What are you up to this weekend? It's a longer one so I'm planning to pop down to London to catch up on gossip and experience some culture. Shopping and lunch with good company are also included.
Today I wanted to share with you a casual triple denim look. One cannot possibly wear too much denim. I popped on simple jeans, a denim shirt and a denim jacket that was a surprising gift! Still very happy with it. I also decided to wear my most comfortable trainers ever.
I'm off to meet PJ to take some photos for the blog. We'll try not to freeze to death! Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Visions and revisions
For an exhibition on Nature of the City (Scindia House, New Delhi, until 12 January), I submitted a set of photographic works on Delhi's modernist architecture, contrasting the ideals of the early vision to the state of the buildings now. Delhi has a large collection of modernist architecture that would be the envy of many cities in the world —from homes in Golf Links to public institutional buildings designed by talented architects such as Achyut Kanvinde, Karl Heinz, Joseph Stein, Raj Rewal and Kuldip Singh.

Sadly, these have not been recognized as worthy of heritage status, unlike earlier Lutyens era buildings. We are destroying a cultural legacy in a completely unthinking manner. Chanakya Cinema, an award-winning design, is being demolished. So are early Heinz buildings in the Jamia area.
Modernist visions
This attempt to make a structure that was completely contemporary yet reached into our own cultural traditions would keep surfacing in Rahman's work, thanks to Nehru's nudging. Rahman was awarded the Padma Shri in 1955 for Gandhi Ghat and other buildings.
Icons of a new state
In the 1950s, Rahman designed several institutions of the modern state. Maulana Azad conceived three state cultural bodies: the Lalit Kala, Sangeet Natak and Sahitya Akademis. When Azad died in 1958, Nehru asked Rahman to design his tomb. Its concrete cross-vault rhymes with its backdrop, the arched eastern gateway of Jama Masjid. While it was built, Rahman designed offices, galleries and a theatre for the Akademis in a plot near Mandi House.
Nehru told Rahman to reflect the philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore in this building, which was to be a premier symbol of the culture of a new India. Called Rabindra Bhavan, it was finished in time for Tagore's centenary in 1961. The plot included a small ruined mosque and some graves. Evolving the design idiom of his two earlier memorials, Rahman's concept carefully incorporated the mosque between the gallery and Akademi offices.
Whither continuity?
My own review was provoked by the ongoing "renovation" of the Rabindra Bhavan gallery. The old neutral flooring has been torn out, to be replaced by marble. The brick and jali façade is to be replaced by glass. A big external lift shaft will displace what used to be the mosque and grave mound. Remaking the building into a contemporary mall, the renovation threatens to efface its cultural memory.
Not that other cities are any less to blame. The flyover in front of the Indian Museum in Kolkata has destroyed one of the world's great cityscapes. The less said about Bangalore, the better.
Artist and art activist Ram Rahman is the son of the late architect Habib Rahman.

If you exclude all the blogs I've been stalking and the occasional e-paper, I haven't had the time to read much this year. And if it wasn't for Tanya Pinto Dias, it would have probably stayed that way. Although we met only once during a trip to Sikkim – I in the 10th standard, and she, in probably the 8th, I was surprised when she got in touch and asked me to read her debut novel.
Tanya hails from Dona Paula and her book 'The Secret of the Sea' makes a wonderful weekend read. What makes it so special is the fact that the book is amusingly 'Goan' from the minute you set your eyes on the first line. It begins with Inspector Cajetan, or Caji, pouring himself a glass of whiskey on the rocks before settling himself into his wicker armchair. It was then that he receives a call from his dim-witted, yet lovable subordinate, Joao, informing him of a murder of a young girl in Morjim.
The duo from the Panjim Police Station tries to uncover the mystery as discreetly as possible, owing to the fact that police from one jurisdiction aren't supposed to meddle in the affairs of another. The plot is peppered with such hilarious Goan-dialogues that you literally began reading them in the same sing-song tone that you'd hear two aunties talking in, in the market.
As you began flipping, rather, scrolling though the pages, you are drawn into a murder mystery reminiscent of an Agatha Christie Novel. The writing is simple, light and the narration is unique. Every scene resembles life in Goa perfectly, since the author has an uncanny knack for bringing everyday mannerisms to the fore.
The plot moves quickly, but not without offering a huge helping of Goan humour, some tiatr-style mog, and, as many Goans would relate to, a squabble dating back to a couple of generations. That's just the tip of the iceberg – the book keeps you guessing with every twist and turn until the very end.
Like many mystery novels, the book is unpredictable in many ways, especially the ending. Would I have liked a different ending? Yes. I had grown rather attached to the charming characters and was a tad disappointed when I found out who the perpetrator was. Nevertheless, the Secret of the Sea has an uncommon advantage – it brings out a touch of current environmental issues to the fore, too.
As someone who lives away from Goa for most of the year, I found myself nostalgic on several occasions while reading. I craved a ros omlete, thought of calling a friend just to hear him say "Good one, ah!" and considered making a dish whose recipe Tanya has thoughtfully weaved into the plot.
Grab yourself a copy of The Secret of The Sea on Amazon (Kindle Edition) here: http://amzn.to/2A5Ov1C
Till next time!

MBL Title Celebrates Its Grand Opening as a Licensed Texas Title Agency
May 7, 2015
MBL Title would like to thank everyone who attended our grand opening as a licensed title agency, and thanks again for all your support that helped us reach this milestone! The entire MBL Title team celebrated with family, friends, colleagues, and clients at Origin Kitchen in Uptown Dallas.
MBL Title has officially launched as an agency office, joining an elite group of full-service Dallas title companies. We now proudly act directly as agent for a national group of underwriters, including Chicago Title Insurance Company, Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, and Fidelity National Group.
MBL Title started from humble beginnings. Best friends, Texas Christian University graduates, and fellow IRONMAN competitors Jon Meyers and Matthew Lopez joined together more than two years ago to build a title firm that would create a hassle-free closing process for commercial and residential real estate clients. With Matthew's legal acumen and Jon's finance expertise, the two set out to redefine the Dallas title company experience.
MBL Title has now grown to an office of professionals with diverse backgrounds in law, finance, and commercial real estate. All share a vision to provide top-notch service from the beginning to the end of a real estate transaction through a highly personalized service model — but none of them imagined being able to transition to Texas' rigorous and highly regulated agency model in under two years.
"We are extremely excited to have reached this milestone so early in our firm's tenure. It's a testament to our team, but the true accolades belong to the exceptional group of clients, customers, and partners we have been lucky to work with during our formative years in this business," said Matthew Lopez, Chief Executive Officer of MBL Title. "Shifting from a fee attorney office to an agency office means that we are able to deepen our relationships with our underwriters and maintain complete control over the closing and underwriting process, which positively benefits both our commercial and residential clients."
MBL Title will pass these advantages on to its clients, who can continue to expect response times that are the fastest in the industry, trusted and proactive assistance throughout the closing process, and a collaborative, hands-on approach from the MBL Title team. MBL Title's President & Chief Financial Officer, Jon Meyers, concluded, "We don't see this changing the nature of who we are as a company, or how we serve clients. Being an agent simply elevates us to the next level, and enables us to enrich our clients' experience. We're extremely excited for that opportunity."

Exotic dancer sues Admiral Theatre over tips, lack of minimum wage

An exotic dancer at the Admiral Theatre has sued the North Side strip club in federal court for allegedly not paying dancers minimum wage and taking a portion of their tips, records show.
Paulina Wisniewska filed the proposed class-action lawsuit Wednesday, in which she says she has been an exotic dancer at the Admiral since 2013.
A woman who answered the phone at the Admiral hung up on a reporter seeking comment.
Wisniewska alleges the Admiral has misclassified its exotic dancers as independent contractors, "when in reality they are employees." She said it controls where the dancers should be and when, what they can wear, how much they can receive for private dances and sessions and how they can interact with customers.
"Dancers must dance on stage for at least two songs at a time," Wisniewska's complaint alleges. "They must remove their top during the first 10 to 15 seconds of the first song and remove their bottom during the first 10 to 15 seconds of the second song; they are not allowed to carry a phone with them on the floor; and they must receive permission from management to leave the premises before the end of the night."
She said the dancers have no control over customer volume, advertising or the atmosphere at the club. And they must offer a floor dance and promotional T-shirt at least once during the night. On certain nights, dancers must also perform "mystery dances" and "two-for-one" specials, according to the complaint.
The Admiral has the power to hire, fire and discipline the dancers, Wisniewska alleges. It has been known to fine them or send them home "if they are caught chewing gum on the premises" as well as "if dancers are late getting on stage," the lawsuit states.
Finally, Wisniewska claims dancers "receive compensation only in the form of gratuities from patrons," are forced to pay house fees of between $40 and $180 each shift, and have been forced to share tips with managers, "house moms," disc jockeys, security workers and makeup artists.
The Admiral's owner, Sam Cecola, is also named as a defendant. Cecola and the Admiral made headlines just last month when porn star Stormy Daniels — who is locked in a legal battle with President Donald Trump — appeared there as part of her national "Make America Horny Again" tour.

Hi guys,
I have a sweet husband who is always trying to make my life easier. One way is to post photos on my blog. He doesn't realize that it is a very serious problem if he gets one on there which I would have deleted before it saw the light of day. That being said---in case you haven't guessed---is the group of us standing in front of Milton''s. It was just done way too quickly. Someone asked a guy to take the pics...you know when you say, "...will you take our picture?" and it ends up being 3 cameras later before he is finished. The last thing he would want to do is say,"...hey, you in the brown, you may want to move away from the skinny girl and then stand VERY SIDEWAYS to appear less heavy." He just wants to get to his lunch. I knew the feeling as I arrived at the resturantand got that perfect corned beef that I didn't even think calories...That picture needs to be blown up---placed on the fridge---where if I had one ounce of sense or one iota of self control it would have never happened. Seems I've fallen---and I MUST GET UP!!! i.e. see diet previous blog

We take excellent care of them for life (like our own loved pets), and we would provide them the same loving care for your pet if you choose to make FFR the guardian of your pet. We will take care for your pet until we find him or her a loving family home for life like our own pets (Adoption Match, Interview and Home Visit. We back up for life and take returns.) or they remain with us in a sanctuary foster home. See some of our listed Sanctuary animals and Golden Dogs. Ensure a lifetime quality care for your pet. E-mail us at [email protected] for more information.

Everyone loves a wedding but why do we cry at them? Me, I'm usually blubbering the moment the bride walks in and my niece's recent wedding proved no exception. At least not for me. In fact, her wedding ceremony, all very relaxed in a Berkshire country hotel a few weeks ago, had everyone reaching for hankies and tissues before the register was signed.
As a bride, Jenny looked stunning, but then again, she looks lovely no matter what she wears. The groom's face as she came in was a picture by itself, as was seeing my other niece in a dress for the first time in goodness knows how many years, as one of the bridesmaid. The second bridesmaid was Jenny's 7-year-old daughter, Keira. Mothers-in-law, both dressed in turquoise, grinned happily, fathers beamed proudly and orange tulips in posies and buttonholes sparkled in the late March sun.
The registrar announced the groom's father wished to give a reading. I think everyone was surprised when told it was to be the poem Us Two from A.A. Milne's Now We Are Six. We were even more surprised when he called Keira up help him. It transpired in the months leading up to the wedding Keira and her new grandfather had been secretly rehearsing the piece. How she managed to keep it secret all that time amazed everyone. With actions and expressions, inflections and with feeling, it was word perfect and a pure joy to watch.
Now even my husband, a rufty-tufty ex rugby player, is not moved to tears easily but even he was reaching into his top pocket for a handkerchief. As was the groom, all the ladies and all the other men in the room. The registrar also had a tear or two in her eyes.
Bangers and mash and onion gravy, no starter, followed with profiteroles went down a treat as the wedding feast with copious wine. Cupcakes formed the wedding cake. Speeches were before dining. Kept short. Brilliant move. All in all, a lovely, memorable weekend. The hotel staff were courteous and helpful, the deluxe bedroom we had couldn't be faulted, the breakfast the next morning the best ever. There was just one little dampener the spoil the day. Those who know me know I am not a mean person, far from it, but I positively blanched at the bar prices being charged. "You're having a laugh?" my husband said, reaching for his wallet. Sadly the barman wasn't. "That'll be £8 per glass, sir!"
Enough to make me cry all over again.
Tip of the Day
Love cut tulips but find they always droop after a day or so. Add a copper coin to the glass. For some reason I know not what, it keeps them upright. Simples.

VANDERBILT — Two Gaylord men have been arrested for allegedly setting fire to a house in Vanderbilt.
One of the suspects is a Corwith Township Volunteer firefighter who allegedly responded to the initial fire scene, according to a news release from the Michigan State Police (MSP) Gaylord post.
Otsego County prosecutors charged the two men with arson and conspiracy to commit arson, according to MSP Sgt. Greg Gendregske.
The pair were to be arraigned Monday afternoon.
The investigation began with a tip to the Gaylord City Police regarding the suspected arson, Gendregske said. Gaylord police passed the information on to the MSP, which conducted an investigation over the weekend, yielding the arrests, according to Gendregske.
The Oct. 12 fire destroyed the residence and a motorhome parked in the driveway at 7672 Randolph St. in Vanderbilt. No one was home at the time of the 4:30 a.m. fire, according to the MSP release.

"Pump Up The Volume: A 90's Palooza" currently on stage at the Horton Grand Theatre downtown through Sept.10th came as culture shock to yours truly.
The good news is that my theatre date is up on all the music that could fit into what was supposed to be a two -hour, with one 15- minute intermission lasting almost two and a half hours. Most of those in attendance didn't really care. Yours truly…well.
When you try to squeeze a decade of music and TV and movies and hit songs, single and composites and come up with about 100 thrown into the mix, and that's only in Act I, you know you're in for the long haul.
|(Front Row) Edred Utomi, James Royce Edwards
(L To R back) Leonard Patton, Brielle Batino, Joshua DAvid Cavanaugh, Janaya Mahealani Jones and Cassie B
Hot of the press from the dynamic duo that brought us the long running "miXTape", Colleen Kollar Smith and Jon Lorenz are at it again with "Pump Up The Volume, A 90's Palooza." "Boomers" (created first at Lamb's then moved to Horton Grand written by Kerry Meads and Vanda Eggington) was its successful predecessor.
You know the old saying, "If it 'aint broken, don't fix it." My guess is there will be more coming out of this twosome in the future.
Not to overuse the word but, the music and the sound and the performers are indeed pumped up!
Armed with a very capable cast of seven, four guys (Joshua David Cavanaugh, James Royce Edwards, Leonard Patton and Edred Utomi, "I Want it That Way") and three gals, (Brielle Batino, Cassie B, Janaya Mahealani Jones), the show moves along at pretty rapid speed considering that many of the costume changes had to have been helped along by costume magicians. Credit Janet Pitcher for the costume design; no credit given to the elves that helped out.
|Cast of Pump Up The Volume
In the opening segment the seven leave the 20's behind when their cell phones stop dead in their tracks and they are forced to go back to the 90's, sans cell phones, and all the other electronic devices that we all now so depend on.
There is a story there but it's sketchy and that's OK because it's the music and the era of social media that this 'Palooza' is all about.
The youthful cast sing dance and bring those not of the lost generation of the 40's, 50's and maybe 60's big band era, on a nostalgia trip just before cell phones, iPads and digital paraphernalia.
And its about the 90's and the GenX or x-gen, you name it: "Friends" and Pokémon, and The Simpsons, "Titanic", "Seinfeld", and Lenny Kravitz, The Spice Girls, Britney Spears (why not), U2, Ricky Martin, Shania Twain's "Man I Feel Like a Woman" (Batino), Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" with Janaya Mahealani Jones sounding exactly like the mega star herself that even I recognized that one. She deserves kudos for that one performance in particular. And the beat went on.
|Brielle Batino, Janaya Mahealani Jones and Cassie B
Janet Jackson, Pearl Jam, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, Mariah Cary and and and and, and it's a generation yours truly either slept thru or was space traveling. Color it leaning toward the under 40's population.
Either way, my friend or rather interpreter helped identify along the way, so if I am a bit sketchy about the time frames and the music, bear with me.
|Top banana Edred Utomi
The show is under the San Diego Musical Theatre banner and boasts four musicians (2 guitars, one bass, Taylor Peckham on keys and Brian Hall on drums) with Peckham leading the band.
|(L.to R.) Joshua David Cavanaugh, Edred Utomi, James Royce Edwards and Leonard Patton
Michael McKeon's set is a maze of steps on almost every level painted in yellows and oranges with projections (McKeon) in the background.
After the fact I thought I should have counted how many times the cast managed those steps, but they are young and it probably mattered not. Kevin Anthenill's sound design is what the doctor ordered and that was loud. Christina Martin's lighting design fits the venue.

If you missed the 90's scene and all it had to offer and you need to get pumped up by what you missed, head on down to the Horton Grand and have a blast.

NEW DELHI, June 5 (Xinhua) -- India Monday firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's allegation that it signed the Paris climate accord for financial gain.
"What Trump said is not the reality. We have signed the Paris accord not under any pressure nor for any money... to say we did it for money, I totally reject that," Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told the media in the national capital.
President Trump had last week named India among key reasons for his decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement, saying that New Delhi will be paid billions of dollars to meet its commitment to combatting climate change in the landmark deal struck to cut greenhouse gases and save the planet.
"India will be allowed to double its coal production by 2020. Think of it. India can double their coal production. We're supposed to get rid of ours," Trump said.
However, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to solar power has been commended by world powers. Modi has said that India will contribute half the world's solar energy by 2020.

Lewis' 24th Birthday 12:48 AM
26th June 2010, Saturday
My mum came home at 230pm to take over velle.
Velle is asleep at that time, so the separation is rather easy.
I surprise baby with a suite at Amara Sentosa ( near palawan beach)
Checked in, place our bags,
then off we went to the Luge.
My first time playing that, even though not the first time on a sky ride,
i was scare to death!!
Somehow i feel i will drop down or whatsoever.
Very scared very scared.
The ride down was super fun!
But the sky ride up again is still very scary...............................
Baby went up for the megazip,
but due to the long Q ( 2 hours of waiting) he gave up halfway.
We had snack at delifrance, then head over for Songs of the Sea.
My energy was low, had a cup of blended vanilla to boost my energy..
No comments on the Songs of the Sea....
Nothing here can be compared to the rides/shows i experienced in DisneyWorld.
We went for the desperado shooting game,
that cost $12/pax.
Sucks to the max, please dont go and waste your money.
Nothing in Sentosa is worth, go USS better.
Train to vivo for dinner,
then back to our suite.
Very refreshed after a nice bath.
We watched TV till 1am..
Had a good night sleep and i woke up late (11am)
thanks to the rain for the lullaby. LOL
I look so tired, eye v swollen.
Had dimsum at Vivo,
which i might bring my mum to try next time.
Taste real good plus cheap. (:

Yesterday was Baby's 24th birthday (:
The 2 of us spent a lovely day at Sentosa,
and only return back to our home at 2pm today...
Thanks to mummy for taking care of velle!
Also thanks to ting for sleeping in the same room as velle!
A romantic getaway after 15 months!
But the back of my mind kept thinking and missing my little sweet pea. HEEHEE!
Swimming lessons 5:29 AM
Thanks to TASH for sharing..
Aquaducks sounds good too!
There is one branch located at suntec city!
Anyone interested in going? (:(:
Any mummies out there enroll their little kids for swimming lessons?
Interested in letting velle join a swim class to learn some survival skills....

Universal Studios Singapore 12:57 AM
Yesterday it was some sort of family for SAF.
Baby had free tickets for himself, and he extra tickets for me to enter USS
(universal studios singapore)
Before going to USS, please book the tickets online!
As it is always fully packed.
I saw that the tickets for USS are fully sold till Sunday!!
Before entering, i feel that USS is not for me at all,
i dont take rides as im very dan xiao~..
Feel like very waste money...
Family photo (:
But after entering,
im glad i went to experience that place! HEEHEE!
I must say that Singapore really NEED such fun theme park!
Escape at pasir ris not fun de, sentosa 4D experience not as good too.
Must try the feel in USS.
If you are really scared of rides, go for the shows!
Its really nice!
But one bad point is, the park is really small.
No choice, limited space in SG.
The very distracted Chlovelle
Chlovelle running around while we wait for daddy and ah peng.
They went for the mummy ride!
The staff in USS are very friendly + professional.
While i push velle stroller in a restaurant,
a lady came up and offer help,
i didnt buy any food/drinks inside but they allow me to sit!
When im out in the sun waiting for them,
a janitor actually came up and pass me a brochure for show time,
hinting me to go for shows while waiting for my hubby.
Look at me teeth!
Very sad i cant take the rides at Jurassic Park!
The waiting time tooooo long.
Velle on her first carousal ride!
Oooo. velle very hot.
Look at her exploded cheeks. LOL
Was it lucas first ride too??
Ah peng and velle.
AFter the carousal ride,
we went for a show READY ACTION CUT?
i forgot the name of it.
But it was FANTASTIC!
So remember, take along USS map when u walk around.
And dont miss any of the shows and rides!
Make your money worth!
After 2 rounds of walking around the park,
our day ends with this picture. (camera's battery died)
I had fun!
Very proud that a scaredy cat like me took a indoor rollercoaster ride.
It might be nothing to those daredevil out there,
but i was cheated by baby!!
He told me not scary at all.... and i believed him ok!
Well....... at least i tried it, and i came out alive but with muscle ache..
I GEK until my muscle all tensed up. LOL!!

Of Interest: A Smattering of Non-Macy Books with LEC Illustrators #1
August 12, 2013 Comments Off on Of Interest: A Smattering of Non-Macy Books with LEC Illustrators #1
Hello all! Today I will be sharing five (!) books with you. These are non-Macy editions of several classic works, illustrated by some of the more prominent LEC illustrators. Three will be debuting today: Eric Gill, Boardman Robinson and Edward A. Wilson. The remaining two feature artists I've recently covered on the blog, Fritz Eichenberg and William Sharp. These are not my books; my good friend Lois was kind enough to let me borrow them to photograph them. Unfortunately, most of these are reprints of Random House or Doubleday editions, so I do not have designer info for them. With that in mind, I'll be quickly summarizing their attributes, offering a brief opinion, and providing images for them. With that, let's begin!
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, illustrated by Fritz Eichenberg, translated by Constance Garnett, published by Garden City Publishing Co. in 1948 from the 1944 Doubleday edition.
Eichenberg does not utilize the engraver's tools for this commission; instead, he goes with his linework, and it's a good match. I do greatly prefer his wood and stone cuts, but I think his penmanship is also pretty spectacular. Compare this to Freedman's LEC/Heritage take.
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, illustrated by William Sharp, published by Garden City Publishing Co. in 1948 from the 1944 Doubleday edition.
Sharp takes on Collins' famous novel with a combination of his styles used for the Macy editions of Tales of Mystery and Imagination and the biographical works of Rousseau and Pepys here. There are full page illustrations that remind me of the Poe commission, as well as many supplementary in-text drawings a la the biographies. There's some astounding stuff in here, I must say. I haven't seen Dignimont's spin for the LEC, but I have covered his work for The Wanderer.
Favorite Poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, illustrated by Edward A. Wilson, introduced by Henry Seidel Canby, published by Doubleday in 1947
This may be some of Wilson's best work I've personally seen. Of course, I've yet to share any of his Macy contributions with you, but I plan on remedying that when I get the time. Excellent printing, too! Wilson did too many LEC and Heritage books to list here, but I'll include three that I own for reference; Treasure Island, Westward Ho! and A Journey to the Center of the Earth. The LEC edition was illustrated by Boyd Hanna.
Troilus and Cressida by Geoffrey Chaucer, illustrated by Eric Gill, translated by George Philip Krapp, printed by the Literary Guild in 1932 from the 1932 Random House edition.
Gill does a rather fine job here if you ask me. His woodcuts evoke the essence of the work of Chaucer quite well, and they embellish every page. There's a few full-size pieces, too. I'd like to see the Random House issuing! Gill did the original LEC Hamlet and A Sentimental Journey of France and Italy. The LEC Troilus lacks conventional illustration, but is decorated by George W. Jones.
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky, illustrated by Boardman Robinson, translated by Constance Garnett, published by Halcyon House in 1940 from the 1933 Random House edition.
I must admit that Robinson does not do much for me. His style clashes with my personal tastes. I've seen his LEC commission for Spoon River Anthology (a tragic copy that was overpriced for its shoddy condition, despite author Edgar Lee Masters contributing his signature) and despite being a big fan of the work, his art doesn't really mesh with me. He also did the LEC Moby Dick. Contrast this to the two Macy editions of Karamazov.
Of Interest: Fritz Eichenberg's Conceptual Work
July 7, 2012 Comments Off on Of Interest: Fritz Eichenberg's Conceptual Work
Fritz Eichenberg is one of my favorite illustrators, and today I wanted to share with you some of his "behind-the-scenes" material included in his marvelous collection of woodcuts and lithographs, The Wood and the Graver. This is a must for fans of Eichenberg, as it includes personal recollections of most of his LEC and Heritage Press output, plus a generous smattering of his exquisite art from the George Macy Company and beyond. I'll share some of his memories with you at a later date, but for now, enjoy the pictures. :)
This shot may look familiar to anyone who has seen Eichenberg's Crime and Punishment Heritage or LEC. This is a posed shot Eichenberg did of himself in order to aid capturing the tense moment seen on the title page in both books. Here's the finished product:
While we're talking about this engraving, here's a glimpse into the carving process:
This gives you the briefest understanding of the time and dedication it takes to be a wood engraver. The text expands upon that significantly. How about some sketchwork? Since we've been discussing Crime and Punishment, we'll begin there:
The final woodcut appears on page 250 of the Heritage and Page 323 in the LEC.
This comes from The Idiot, but I do not know the page number right off hand. It's like the one Dostoevsky I don't have. XD
This too is from The Idiot.
The last sketch I have for you now is from the Heritage Gulliver's Travels. Alas, I can't aid you with a page number here, either.
The last two pieces are not conceptual, but are actually variants of art seen in The Brothers Karamazov. At the same time, Eichenberg had a commission for another Dostoevsky work for an alternate publisher, The Grand Inquisitor. Unlike Karamazov, which used stone lithographs, he did Inquisitor with wood engravings. I can do a comparison of one of them at the moment, and I'll see about eventually refreshing the post with the final version of all of these sketches once I have The Idiot and Gulliver's Travels in my possession. (There is a Dostoevsky pun there). Anyway!
And the other:
Hope you enjoyed this peek into Eichenberg's creation process!
Limited Editions Club – The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1933, 1961 [Heritage])
April 22, 2012 § 7 Comments
Welcome to our first comparison post of two differing versions of a work. Here we will discuss the original LEC Brothers Karamazov done in 1933 to a later Heritage reprint of the 1949 LEC. Both have the same translation, but feature distinctly different design and artistic traits unique to their editions. For this post I will focus on the 1933 LEC first, and then move onto the Heritage. Let's start, shall we?
Note – I have just added the Monthly Letter to the King-illustrated Karamazov, but I have not updated the text to reflect the knowledge within. That will come.
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1933, 3 volumes)
LEC #50/5th Series V. 2 in 1933
Artwork – Portrait Illustrations by Alexander King
Translated by Constance Garnett, Introduced by Avrahm Yarmolinsky
LEC #919 of 1500
Click images for larger views.
Front Binding (1933 LEC) – Since all three are unique (and lovely!) in their bindings, I snapped each one individually. I like the green/orange/blue shades and the crazy rib-like boards. D.B. Updike of the Merrymount Press handled printing duties (and potentially design duties as well, but I'm not sure of that). That's unfortunately all I can tell you about the book's creation.
Luckily, I do have plenty to tell you about the author's history with the LEC (since I forgot to do so in my prior Dostoevsky posts on Crime and Punishment and The House of the Dead!). Fyodor Dostoevsky is the giant of giants in Russian literature, and with very good reason. The George Macy Company thought of him highly, and lavishly produced several editions of his works over their tenure, with future owners Cardevon and Sid Shiff joining in the fun as well. This set was the beginning of the long-lasting relationship in 1933, with the Heritage Crime and Punishment following in 1938 with Fritz Eichenberg's woodcuts. The LEC would reprint that in 1948 as a 2-volume set. A revisit to The Brothers Karamazov followed in 1949, again featuring Eichenberg's art, this time in stone lithographs. It's clear that the Club caught Dostoevsky/Eichenberg fever from there, because all but one of the remaining publications unite the two again and again: 1956's The Idiot, 1959's The Possessed, 1974's A Raw Youth (under Cardevon), and Sid Shiff's concluding production of The House of the Dead in 1982. The only other case Eichenberg was not involved was the short story combo The Gambler and Notes from Underground, released in 1967 and starring Alexande Alexeieff as its illustrator. No wonder Eichenberg seems to be known in our circles as "the Russian illustrator"; He also did art for the works of Tolstoy (Resurrection, War and Peace), Pushkin (Eugene Onegin) and Turgenev (Father and Sons).
But enough with Eichenberg for the time being. His time will come in the second half of this monster of a post. Let's focus on Alexander King, who is making his debut on our blog with this post. King deserves notoriety as being the very first illustrator for the Club, giving the 1929 Travels of Lemuel Gulliver his artistic flair. He next gave Fielding's The History of Tom Jones his talent on 1931, with this set following that in 1933. Alas, that would be the end of the Macy connection. King was far more than an illustrator, though; he became a media sensation on The Tonight Show in later years, as well as writing several books, both fiction and non. He was a bohemian who got deep into drug addiction, multiple marriages and had several health problems, but he managed to leave his mark in the entertainment world. It's fitting that he helped launch the decadent press that we love so well in a way.
Title Page – Constance Garnett is often the go-to for Russian translation for the Club, and this is a shining example of that practice (if not the first instance of that practice!). Avrahm Yarmolinsky is the introductory presenter here, an act he would do again for Eugene Onegin. The later 1949 printing reuses both Garnett and Yarmolinsky's respective talents, which makes it all the more curious why they reprinted it. Well, Eichenberg's work is spectacular in that, which is good enough for me!
Signature Page – Copy #919, with King's signature.
Page 1 – King's style is more cartoonish than Eichenberg's, but it works. His portraits elude an intriguing sense of characterization, that they do.
Page 82
Page 129 – I like the exaggerated eyes.
Personal Notes – Checked out from my UC library. Wouldn't mind owning it!
Monthly Letter:
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1961)
Sandglass Number: III: 33R
Artwork: Lithographs by Fritz Eichenberg
Translated by Constance Garnett, Introduced by Avrahm Yarmolinsky
Reprint of LEC #197, 19th Series, V. 1 in 1949
Front Binding – Another splendid binding. Apparently The Brothers Karamazov has that effect on book designers. Here we get a great illustration of Dostoevsky done by Eichenberg; note the crucified foot to the right of his head. Both sides feature this stunning rendition of the author. Thanks to a Sandglass, I can tell you some design info on this one. The text is set in Original Old Style font, composed by E.L. Hildreth & Company. Printing was handled by the Duenewald Printing Corporation of New York on paper supplied by Finch, Pruyn and Company. Binding was by Russell-Rutter (man, that shop could have stayed alive just because of Macy's interactions with them).
So, now I can blab about Fritz Eichenberg all I want. I noticed that I have utterly failed to list out every book he had a hand in for George Macy and the subsequent owners of the LEC, and I'd like to rectify that now. It all began with the Heritage Press. The 1938 Crime and Punishment set Eichenberg off on a long and storied career few other illustrators can match. He next performed his craft in the massive LEC Shakespeare set, rendering the grotesque Richard the Third. Eugene Onegin was next in 1943. The LEC Crime and Punishment followed in 1948, although I don't think he did anything new for that re-release. The Brothers Karamazov came out in 1949. Fathers and Sons was next in 1951, and Hawthorne's King Midas and the Golden Touch, released as part of a greater set of Evergreen Tales, went out in 1952. Goethe's The Story of Reynard the Fox was shipped in 1954. A third Dostoevsky novel, The Idiot, was released in 1956, with another, The Possessed, coming out in 1959. Tolstoy's Resurrection was unveiled in 1963. A second Tolstoy collaboration came under Cardevon's ownership, with 1972's Childhood, Boyhood, Youth. Dostoevsky's A Raw Youth continued the chain in 1974. While Eichenberg did not illustrate the book's pages, he did contribute a print to Villon's Lyrical Poems in 1979. 1981 saw Eichenberg tackle Grimmelshausen's The Adventures of Simplicissimus for Sid Shiff. 1982 saw the final Dostoevsky work the Club printed, with Eichenberg naturally attached, in The House of the Dead. The last LEC Eichenberg made illustrations for was Georges' The Diary of a Country Priest in 1986. Almost a fifty year run! And I haven't even touched on his two other Heritage exclusives, War and Peace and Gulliver's Travels. In total, Eichenberg provided his incredible artwork for 15 LEC's and 3 Heritage Press books, plus a bonus LEC print for the Villon (those numbers include Crime and Punishment in both their tallies, mainly because I'm not sure if Eichenberg did any further work for the LEC edition). Impressive, isn't it?
Title Page – A little more snazzy than the 1933 edition, if I may say so.
Page 8 – The Sandglass lavishes most of its attention onto Eichenberg, in particular his creation of the stone lithographs for this novel. Definitely check it out, as a summary does not do the praise justice. These definitely are among his most breathtaking illustrations.
Page 14 – If there was ever any doubt of Eichenberg's talent, may this spectacular piece wash it away. Among my favorites of his.
Personal Notes – This came in the massive lot I recently obtained from the Oakhurst Library. This was one of the books I got for free. Yes, you read that right. And it's one I've coveted for years, and now it is mine, complete and in marvelous condition. :)
Well, that was a lot of information! I look forward to the next time I get the chance to do a comparison like this. Either way you go for this book, I think you'll be rewarded handsomely. :)

Bursa is a big city in Turkey - the population is 2.5 million. In Bursa, one could argue, there is nothing that isn't there: The Maramara Sea is only 20 kilometers away (and hence Istanbul is not that far, either). Then there is Mount Olympus (the second one after the one in Greece), where the Greek Gods (used to) live - being 2,543 meters high - and rising virtually in the city center (only now it is mostly known by its Turkish name, Uludağ). It is an amazing feeling to be in this city, this bustling metropolis, and permanently, the mountain is in your sight. This fact transforms the large city of Bursa into an intriguing mixture of culture and nature. No wonder it is called "the Green City" - which is a nickname well deserved.
And there is so much that you can do in Bursa! On Mount Uludağ, there is a famous ski resort - but for those who prefer aquatic sports: The sea is never far, either! So, of course, Bursa is a tourist paradise - but then, at the same time, it is also a major business and industry site. First of all, it is home to Turkey's automotive industry: FIAT and Renault produce here - but so do Coca Cola and Pepsi Co and many others. All of this makes Bursa a truly international place, with a large, and growing, expat community. But history does also exist in Bursa: In fact, it used to be the capital of the Ottoman Empire before the Sultans moved it to Istanbul.
And then, Bursa is also a metropolis of culture. There are many museums to be found - with the Bursa Archaeology Museum being the most notable of them. Uludag University is located in Bursa - and this fact has a great impact on the city's cultural life. The student community has created a pulsating event life, that manages to be typically Turkish - and globalized at the same time.
Three bedroom second floor flat with great views is nestled in a quiet street at the city center of Bursa.Only a few minutes walking distance to Bursa city's famous theathers,museums,shopping centers,restaurants,pharmacies,dry cleaners,money exchange,coffee shops etc.Short walking distance to subway.Excellent transport links to explore Bursa city.All frequent bus services are a 5 mins walk from the the apartment.Muradiye district is the trendiest neighborhood in Bursa.The flat is fully furnished.Fully equipped American style open kitchen.(washing machine,dishwasher,refregirator,oven,cooker,kitchen utencils etc.)The living area is comfortable and spacious.Theres a double size sofa bed in living room for additional guests.Double bed in two bedrooms,and one single bed in other bedroom.Quality tiled bathroom with bath and shower.The flat takes very much sunlight and its very airy.Very nice city view from the terrace of the apartment.Hi speed internet,big screen satellite tv,audio set,24000 btu A/C,Linens,towels etc. are provided.The apartment has three car private garage.$450 per week.(Theres cable internet connection at the flat.I am the owner of the apartment and I've been renting out this flat to only foreign tourists for about 8 years.Payment method:Cash on arrival) [ read more » ]

Says dissenters jailed, killed or forced into hiding
OPPOSITION leader Sam Rainsy this week accused the government of using lawsuits, jail sentences and assassinations to silence critics.
Speaking at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand (FCCT) in Bangkok on Tuesday, Sam Rainsy said grassroots activists, politicians and village leaders have been killed, jailed and forced into hiding for disagreeing with the ruling party.
The government of Prime Minister Hun Sen, he said, is trying to silence growing discontent over land confiscation and the fact most Cambodians are not benefiting from the growing economy.
Part of the problem, he said, is that many of Cambodia's leaders are former Khmer Rouge.
"They still have the Khmer Rouge mentality," he told Thai media.
"They do not tolerate critics, and they are paranoid. They see enemies everywhere around them, and they take preemptive moves to eliminate their enemies or potential enemies by killing them or silencing them."
Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, dismissed Sam Rainsy's claims on Wednesday, saying they were false accusations that lacked any factual basis.
"[Sam Rainsy] discriminates against the government, but he can move freely around the country. The government does not discriminate against him," he told the Post, insisting that freedom of expression was not suppressed in the Kingdom.
Chea Vannath, a political analyst and former president of the Centre for Social Development, acknowledged that Cambodia's approach to governance was less than perfect.
"Cambodia is a post-conflict country and not a mature democratic country, so there is room for improvement for the ruling party," she said.

A couple of years after my husband was given his Indian name we were invited to another banquet. Chief Louis Miranda was passing down his chieftainship to Phillip Joe.
The dinner was held in the basement of St. Paul's Church in North Vancouver on November 4, 1973. It is one of the oldest churches in B.C. We were taken to the head table, where they always put us. Jessie Miranda, Chief Louis' wife, sat next to Mickey, then me, then two non Indians, the in-laws of Lenny George, Chief Dan's son.
The woman said to me, "Isn't it wonderful, they are giving us Indian names." I replied that it was indeed an honour.
At the other end of the room, they were preparing for the naming ceremony. They laid out a blanket on the floor, and put two chairs on it. Then four people headed for our table, two of them to lead each of the recipients to the chairs. They had to pass me to get to the two they were after… but they stopped at me, instead! They took me, and the other woman, and led us to the two chairs. They tied a kerchief around my head, then put a blanket around me, and gave me my Indian name. Hautsqualwon. It means a person who helps people. Mickey and I were now both adopted into the Squamish Nation!
By this time I was crying with happiness, and I couldn't stop. I had to go around the room giving kerchiefs, money and blankets to some of those that had witnessed the name giving. There was no written record, so the witnesses were to remember what had taken place.
Chief Louis Miranda and his wife, Jessie, paid for all the gifts that I gave away! They knew by the tears I shed that I fully appreciated what they did for me.
A few years later, their daughter, Normaline, knit a Cowichan sweater for Mickey, and a Cowichan poncho for me. She wasn't able to do them for the naming ceremony as she had been ill.
Chief Louis Miranda was one of the finest people that I ever met. And I feel it was a great privilege to know him.

The end of one year and the promise of a new year always gets me thinking. What should I take into the new year? What do I need to change (start, stop)?
Thinking (and writing) about it, God impressed this idea – determination.
What I do – and don't do. What I become – and don't become. Where I go – and don't go. Who I forgive – and don't forgive. How I spend my time and my energy. How I direct my attention and my focus. What I think and how I feel. It is all about my determination. What I decide becomes my path. I make my choices and follow through on those things important to me.
And so I start thinking – what am I determined about?
What do I care enough about to make it a priority?
Who do I choose to spend time with?
What time do I purposely carve out of my "busyness" to enjoy life?
And then I dig a little deeper.
Am I determined to always be right? To have the last word? To prove you wrong?
Am I determined to love you, no matter what? To forgive? To let go?
Am I determined to uplift you? To encourage you? To show you hope?
Am I determined to choose peace above all my emotions?
And then I ask the big question – how determined am I to get to know God? Because I can only do that when I give my time to Him. To talk. To listen. To pray. To sing. To read. To write. To be quiet. To trust. To believe. To know. To hope. To seek. Without doubt. Without hesitation. Without worry. Without religious regulations and rules. Without limits. With complete confidence, assurance, faith, and wonder.
So many hard questions. So many choices of how I live my life. Yet the decision is mine – and only mine – to make. So what I am determined about? What do I want to be determined about? What do I need to change in the coming year? I'm determined to do better, and I'll trust God to help me go the right way. To guide my determination to things that are important to Him. To be purposeful in my determination. Will you be determined with me?
Marie Fremin, 12/14 and 12/20/15

what a day!
I'll start with the something awesome. I went to visit my gran and mum and rummaged in my old room. I found a story book that I wrote as a young kid with my best friend Emily…I still need to read through it as I can't remember what happened, all I know is my handwriting was dreadful where Emily's was neat and her illustrations far surpassed mine in skill!
Naturally SO has decided to take the piss, claiming it's a story about pony pony and pony walking along, saying hello to ponypony and walking along saying pony pony pony. That childhood magic was broken entirely with his comment.
Ok something painful, I have acquired a saddlesore the size of a planet. SO thinks it's ok to keep slapping my arse, mimicking a flicking motion at me while calling me 'saddlesore' or 'bumflick' and then taking the piss riotously when I say the sore is below my sit bone. Apparently as he's never seen a sit bone on an anatomical diagram and continued making 'humourous' japes about sitting down on his SIT bum etc.
Sigh, maybe if I had looked it up before and given the medical term 'tuber ischiadicum' known as the sitz or sitting bones, perhaps he would have been less vile.
Ok now something disturbing. I found out that when my grans partner who is diabetic, became very ill, he was hospitalised. This is fine, then he was released to her and my mother to care for, but he had forgotten how to deal with his insulin injections. Instead of straight away calling the necessary people to find out how to deal with him, they believed him when he said it was ok to use the same needle for a week. Anyone with the slightest hint of common sense knows you NEVER re-use a needle…only the seriousness of the situation didn't sunk in…eventually when he was rehospitalised they learned the truth…new needle every time…but they could have killed him. And somehow my mother was able to tell me this tale through bouts of laughter. I am horrified…they used the same needle multiple times a day, did not clean or refrigerate it, used it on multiple insulin vials….I'm just shocked that they didn't think to ask someone (me) who has experience in sterile techniques etc….I just run cold thinking about it. I know that they were under pressure dealing with him but I could have furnished them with more information than they had and contacted the right people in the NHS had they only asked but I had no idea what was going on! So yeah…it just makes me wonder what games people are playing. There is more to add but I can't write that here…I'm just glad the guy managed to survive without severe blood poisoning against all odds.
Anyway I will see if I can scan in that story.

The art of inspiration
From sand sculptures to storytelling, the Met Office's Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) outreach programme is always looking for new ways to inspire young minds.
To maintain its reputation as a world-leading meteorological organisation, the Met Office must attract the brightest minds from across STEM subjects.
As STEM outreach coordinator Felicity Liggins says, "A vital part of this is to engage children and young people in the work the Met Office does - and hopefully spark their interest in pursuing STEM careers. We need the best people to work here, so it's really valuable to go out into communities and show young people how interesting and exciting STEM subjects are. Outreach is also a great way for our staff to develop their skills."
So, as well as the sorts of programmes you might expect from a science institution - including the annual, award-winning Met Office Science Camps - STEM outreach has looked to the arts to find innovative ways of getting children and young people interested in meteorology.
Sandscape at Green Man
For the past three years, Met Office scientists have braved the changeable Welsh weather to hold a stall at Green Man, an independent art and music festival in the Brecon Beacons. They're usually found in Einstein's Garden - an area of the festival devoted to creative takes on science.
This year, as well as providing weather forecasts to festival-goers, the Met Office partnered with the University of Exeter in an Einstein's Garden project funded by the Wellcome Trust, a biomedical research charity. Felicity and the STEM outreach volunteers thought long and hard about how to talk about weather-related health issues, from pollen forecasts to urban heat islands - and landed on sand sculpture.
Working with professional sculptors Sand in Your Eye, they held four, hour-long workshops each day, inviting people to create a sandscape featuring a city, river, farmland and mountains. At the end of each session, Met Office scientists explained how weather and climate change interact with the landscape - such as how traffic and factory emissions affect air quality in urban areas, and how skyscrapers trap and radiate heat.
To finish, they poured dry ice over the sculpture, simulating how fresh, healthy air flows over the landscape, and how it can be blocked and redirected by features such as buildings.
The benefit of holding projects like Sandscape at festivals, Felicity says, is that they attract a wide audience of people. "Green Man attracts a lot of families who are interested in new ideas, and doing something different. Everyone really enjoyed creating the sculpture, and we also had plenty of people interested in hearing about the research we do at the Met Office."
Breaking boundaries
Whether working with visual artists or taking tips from the theatre, a multi-disciplinary approach can help STEM outreach programmes reach a varied audience. Not only that, but as Felicity points out, collaborating with artists can help Met Office scientists see their work in a fresh way:
"The artists will often ask different questions, which we haven't thought of or are perhaps afraid to ask. This helps us look at our research from a different angle, and explore how we can better communicate that to others."
WOW factor
The Weather Observation Website (WOW) enables people to submit weather data to the Met Office. Over the next few months, a pilot project will encourage UK schools to use WOW to set up their own weather stations and get hands-on with the data.
WOW Schools will be piloted in 10 primary schools selected through an open draw. Keep an eye on our website to find out more about the project.
Astro Science Challenge
The Met Office is also working with primary school classes as part of the Astro Science Challenge, a project running throughout October - December 2015. The Astro Science Challenge was set up by the Unlimited Space Agency (UNSA) which produces arts projects designed to inspire and engage young people in STEM subjects. The project coincides with British European Space Agency astronaut and patron of UNSA, Tim Peake's mission to the International Space Station in December.
The Astro Science Challenge is made up of six 'missions', each led by different institutions, including the UK Space Agency and the Royal Observatory. The Met Office's mission is based around forecasting space weather events, such as solar flares.
Jon Spooner, Director of Human Spaceflight Operations at UNSA said, "Space travel is exciting, no matter what age you are, and there are so many educational angles to Tim's mission that this project seemed a natural next step for us and the partners."
By working with the UNSA we can put scientific information across to children in a different, creative way that really grabs their imaginations. This could include storytelling, featuring characters that the children can follow throughout the space mission, and interactive challenges they have to solve.
