Two common spices have been shown in laboratory testing to deliver a one-two punch to cancer cells: turmeric and black pepper. Turmeric and black pepper kill cancer cells by inhibiting their growth and by targeting stem cells, thereby preventing reoccurence of the cancer.
What the Studies Show
Madhuri Kakarala, MD Phd is a medical oncologist and researcher at the University of Michigan. She herself was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer, and subsequently threw herself into research on what natural substances might be helpful in her fight. She published a fascinating study in Breast Cancer Research & Treatment which demonstrated the effect of curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) and piperine (the active ingredient in black pepper) on breast cancer.
The focus of her study was on why breast cancer can return, even in those patients who have seemingly been effectively treated. The reason is stem cells. Stem cells lie dormant and can, down the line, create entirely new groups of cancer cells in the body. Most existing treatments are ineffective against stem cells, but much of the focus of pharmaceutical companies more recently has been how to target these stem cells and prevent their differentiation into cancer cells.
In this published study, Kakalara demonstrated that relatively low concentrations of curcumin and piperine (at levels obtainable through dietary supplementation) are capable of killing breast cancer stem cells, without damaging normal breast cells. So unlike most conventional cancer treatment, the turmeric and black pepper do NOT cause universal cell damage but can selectively target the cancer stem cells themselves.
Turmeric and black pepper have been the subject of numerous anti-cancer studies (see my list at the bottom if you'd like to review the literature yourself). But this is the first study that demonstrates that turmeric (curcumin) and black pepper (piper nigrum) can pinpoint the actual stem cells without damaging healthy cells. This is huge.
Of course, this study has not been performing in clinical trials yet–finding the funding for such a trial will be challenging. However, both turmeric and piperine are perfectly healthy and tasty supplements that can easily be added to your diet, so why not do so? There are numerous other health benefits associated with these herbs, including anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, digestive and mental.
How To Add Turmeric and Black Pepper to Your Diet
There are numerous ways to incorporate these herbs into your diet. My thinking is that the amounts most people use turmeric and black pepper when they cook is probably not at therapeutic levels. Not to say it isn't smart to cook with them: it definitely is. But in addition to using these herbs to cook with, I would say that incorporating them via a pill is a good addition to your health regimen.
It's important to use organic versions of these herbs whenever possible, as conventional spices are treated with high levels of pesticides.
My Favorite Brands
Doctor Danielle Turmeric Curcumin. This formulation is organic and even includes a small amount of piperine (5 mg). It is an excellent formulation that is highly bio-available and gets rave reviews on Amazon.
Jarrow Curcumin 95. This is the brand I sell in my community acupuncture clinic because the price is right and the quality is good.
Starwest Botanicals Turmeric Powder. I use their herbs for my cooking and tea. The flavor and freshness is out of this world.
Source Natural Bioperine. Unfortunately there are not a ton of piperine products out there. Bioperine is the patented name of piperine (you knew someone had to patent it, right?) and Source Naturals is one of the few that provides a dosage of 10 mg per capsule, and at an exceptionally low cost. Most piperine (bioperine) is bundled with the turmeric in doses of 5 mg. Keep in mind that therapeutic dosages are not known at this time, so if you'd prefer to err on the 'less is more' side, the bundled turmeric-piperine capsules I listed above should be sufficient.
Speaking of Starwest Botanicals, they also produce some amazingly flavorful, eye-watering black peppercorns–I love them. You'll be shocked at how different this pepper tastes when compared to the cruddy McCormick brand you find on the shelf at your local supermarket. This stuff is so potent! In fact, whenever possible, I recommend using spices and herbal teas from Starwest Botanicals instead of your local supermarket brands. The prices are great as well.

R2 Rock'n'Reel : Album Review
Traditional folk meets mood music and jazz on this album.
David Grubb is a fiddle player and composer, born in Scotland, trained at the Royal Welsh College Of Music And Drama (RWCMD), and his debut album consists of eight original pieces – two of them over ten minutes – with titles inspired by city-scapes; 'The Climb/86th Floor Jig' and 'Bleecker Street/The Busker' are particularly suggestive of New York.
David has gathered together a very special band including RWCMD alumni Corben Lee and Katie Lower and guitarist Daniel Whitting – he shares arranging credits with Corben and Whitting – and composer and electronic artist Samuel Barnes. There are also clarinet, whistle and accordion and although there are no lyrics, there are six vocalists, heard to greatest effect at the beginning of 'Milestone'.
The philosophy of the album would appear to reflect that of The Tripp Ensemble, with whom he also performs, in that it aims to bring together disparate elements that would not usually be heard in a single performance. It's strength is that High Rise is never dull because something else will be along in a minute, but some ideas drop in for a bar or two and disappear without being fully realised, which is a shame.
High Rise still defies categorisation but I'm prepared to say that it's a brilliant album.

It immediately put me in a relaxed mood (I guess the color peach does that to you)–all I wanted was to lounge by the pool. Of course, I had work that day so I couldn't afford to laze around, but I did have a few minutes to snap these photos.

The 2019 GMC Sierra is in the region in its Denali and SLT versions. The new platform brings the weight-saving technologies of the new breed of GM top end SUVs through use of new material combinations, while being larger than the model it is replacing.
As part of the weight-saving measures, the 2019 Sierra Denali will be debuting a carbon-fibre and composite truck bed called CarbonPro that also brings in better wear resistance and longer life. The tailgate is also redesigned to offer a multitude of load options including use as a workstation.
"GMC ignited the premium truck segment 17 years ago with the original launch of the Sierra Denali," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global GMC. "The next generation 2019 Sierra Denali establishes a new benchmark in capability and refinement. It exemplifies precision in every detail."
On the inside the 2019 GMC Sierra Denali also gets the unique rear view camera mirror from across its more premium brands as well as a colour heads-up display.
In general, the 2019 GMC Sierra range enjoys a larger usable platform, lighter weight, better fuel efficiency and better handling and dynamics. The current 6.2-litre and 5.3-litre V8 engines have been refreshed and are joined by a new 3.0-litre inline turbo-diesel unit, which shares the Denali's 10-speed automatic gearbox.
The new platform also brings in a better towing and hitch ability, with a trailering app and camera guidance. You even get an HD camera for the trailer. Combined with the system's surround view cameras, it makes hitching up and trailering along much easier. The system also extends theft detection to the trailer.
The new range of driver aids are standard on the Sierra, including pedestrian detection, lane keeping and low speed forward automatic braking.

Miami is alternating wins and losses so far this season, and lost last time out. Should we play the Heat to bounce back against the NBA odds Thursday night in Minnesota with our picks?
Heat-Timberwolves Betting Odds
Most of Thursday's NBA odds market opened Miami as a three-point road favorite over Minnesota, while the total opened at anywhere from 198 to 201. In the early betting most of the market bumped the Heat to -3.5, while the total dropped to 196.
Also, the Timberwolves were getting +160 to win this game straight up on the NBA moneyline at 5Dimes.
The Situation
Miami, off this season with a wins OVER/UNDER of 47, is 2-2, after losing at home to Atlanta Tuesday night 98-92. The Heat trailed the Hawks by 14 after three quarters, pulled to within four points with a 10-0 run, but faded from there. On the night Miami shot 44 percent from the floor, just five-for-28 from 3-point land, and committed 19 turnovers.
Sunday night the Heat beat Houston 109-89, shooting 49 percent from the floor, outscoring the Rockets in the second half 65-26. But just before that they lost at Cleveland 102-92. So Miami seems to be running hot/cold at the moment.
Minnesota began this season with a wins O/U of just 27, but is off to a 2-1 start. The Timberwolves opened last week with a 112-111 victory at the Lakers, then won at Denver 95-78. Minnesota then opened the home portion of its slate with a 106-101 loss to Portland Monday night.
The T'Wolves jumped out to a 17-point first-quarter lead on the Blazers, but went into halftime tied at 53. They later trailed by 10, got back to within two points late, but missed on a couple of chances to tie, and fell.
On the night Minnesota only shot 43 percent from the floor, while allowing Portland to shoot 46 percent.
Heat-T'Wolves By the Numbers
So far this young NBA season Miami is shooting 46 percent from the floor, while holding opponents to 42 percent. Minnesota, meanwhile, is shooting 44 percent, and holding foes to just 38 percent.
Totals Trends
Miami is 3-1 on the UNDERS, as Heat games have averaged 195 total points.
Minnesota is 2-1 on the OVERS, as Wolves games have averaged 201 points.
Heat-T'Wolves Recent Series
These teams split two meetings last season, both teams winning on their home courts. Miami beat Minnesota 102-92, covering as an eight-point favorite, then lost up in Minneapolis 102-101 but covered as a two-point dog.
The Heat outshot the Timberwolves in those two games combined 51 percent to 45 percent.
Also, the totals split on those two games, as one played UNDER 205 while the other played OVER 189.
Miami has alternated wins and losses so far this season, and if that form holds it should win tonight. The Heat are shooting the ball better than Minnesota, and doing a better job on the boards. So we like Miami in this spot with our NBA picks, as the better team at a manageable spread. Also, both these teams are hitting their free-throws at a pretty good rate, and with help from some FT time near the end this game should go OVER.
Picks: Heat -3.5 (-105) at Heritage & OVER 195.5 (-103) at 5Dimes

3. Write about your favorite pieces, ones you related most to.
4. When viewing the works, are there any potential ideas you have for your concentration?
5. If at all possible go to the museum store a find a few postcards from the show, attach to your paper.
12 font
1-2 pages
Assignment #2
A concentration should consist of a group of works that share a single theme – for example an in depth studies of a particular visual problem or a variety of ways of handling an interesting subject. The list of concentration topics is infinite, below are examples of concentrations. During your investigation of your concentration remember to include your elements and principles of design in your photographs. Revisit them before you begin to take any photos (listed below).

Set up a unique still life shot. Think outside of the box; think about your lighting and the object(s) you wish to use. (minimum 10) Bring to class 8-17-18
See you in August!
-Ms. Lynch
email me if you have any questions, email@example.com
A look at what your portfolio will consist of:
Concentration: Think of your concentration as theme you will explore and convey with your camera. A concentration is defined as "a body of work unified by an underlying idea that
has visual coherence." The 12 photographs will be scored on four major areas of
• Coherence and/or development- is the work presented actually a
• Quality of concept/idea represented- is there evidence of thinking and of
• Degree of development and investigation that is evident in the work including
the amount of work or number of pieces represented.
• Quality of the work in both concept and technique.
Principles of design
Check out the following website:
Remember, it is important to capture such elements in your photographs.
overall size
relative size within the work
repetition > rhythm > pattern > unity
equalizing the visual weight of elements
visual path
focal point
In this section of your portfolio, you will be choosing 5 photographs. These 5 photographs should be ones that you are most proud of – they should be excellent.
Art Elements:
Line: An element of art that is the path of a moving point through space. Although lines can vary in appearance (they can have different lengths, widths, textures, directions, and degree of curve), they are considered one-dimensional and are measured by length. A line is also used by an artist to control the viewer's eye movement. There are five kinds of lines: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved and zigzag.
Shape: A two dimensional area that is defined in some way. While a form had depth, a shape has only height and width. Shapes are either geometric or free-form.
Form: Objects having three dimensions. Like a shape, a form has height and width, but it also had depth. Forms are either geometric or free-form.
Value: the element of art that describes the darkness or lightness of an object. Value depends on how much light a surface reflects. Value is also one of the three properties of color.
Color (in photography: digital, color print, color slide, hand-colored, or toned prints):
An element of art that is derived for reflected light. The sensation of color is aroused in the brain by response of the eyes to different wavelengths or light. Color has three properties: hue, value, and intensity.
The element of art that describes the darkness or lightness of an object. Value depends on how much light a surface reflects. Value is also one of the three properties of color.
Texture: The element of art that refers to how things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched. Texture is perceived by touch and sight. Objects can have rough or smooth textures and matte or shiny surfaces.
Principles of Design:
Rhythm: the principle of art that indicates movement by the repetition of elements. Visual rhythm is created by repeating positive spaces separated by negative spaces. There are five types of rhythms: random, regular, alternating, flowing, and progressive.
Visual Movement: The principle of art used to create the look and feeling of action and to guide the viewer's eyes through the work of art.
Balance: principle of art concerned with equalizing visual forces, or elements, in a work of art. If a work of art has visual balance, the viewer feels that the elements have been arranged in a satisfying way. Visual imbalance makes the viewer feel that the elements need to be rearranged. The two types of balance are formal (also called symmetrical) and informal (also called asymmetrical).
Emphasis: principle of art that makes one part of the work dominant over the other parts. The element noticed first is called dominant; the elements noticed later are called subordinate.
Contrast: Technique for creating a focal point by using differences in elements.
Harmony: the principle of art that creates unity by stressing similarities of separate by related parts.
Unity: The quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the element sand principles of art. Unity is created by simplicity, repetition, and proximity.
Variety: Principle of art concerned with difference or contrast.
Proportion/Scale: Principle of art concerned with the size relationship of one part to another.
Scale: size as measured against a standard reference. Scale can refer to an entire work of art or to elements within it.

Olde Burien's Burgers & Barley: A Love Story
Tucked in a cozy storefront in Olde Burien is a small sanctuary for the carnivore in all (or at least many) of us – Burgers & Barley is a new addition to the city's foodie scene where you will find premium Burgers, Beers and comfort food carefully prepared with attention to detail.
It's here for the love of burgers, the love of beer and just, well…love, actually. That's because the story of how a restaurant concept founded in Park City, Utah ended up with a branch in little ol' Burien is really a story of re-connected love spanning three western states.
Owner Francesca Escalante has lived in Burien/Normandy Park for over a decade, having relocated from her native California. Many years ago in that sunny state she fell in love with a successful restauranteur,Allan Galeano, but alas the two parted amicably as they found that life was taking them in different directions. A few decades passed where the two moved on to greener pastures (he to Park City and she ultimately to – gasp…the Burien area). During that time they lost contact and lived life. It was only less than two years ago that Francesca and Allan (finding themselves single again) reconnected, thanks to the wonders of modern life and technology. It seems the embers of love had survived the years and were easily fanned back to full flame upon their reunion. There was just one hitch! He was still in Park City, where he had founded multiple restaurants of varying cuisines, possessing not just a mastery of burgers, but also ever popular Italian fare as well. It didn't take long to realize that they needed to plan their next act. Why not open a Burgers & Barley right here in Burien and continue a relationship here in Washington and Utah whose first flashpoint was in California?
So there you have it! A heart warming origin story that brings lucky locals serious yummy in the tummy. But seriously, these burgers are de-lish. Thick and cooked to your desired done-ness, each distinctive recipe combines unique flavors and aromas to satisfy a variety of foodies. Thoughtful details abound, from the double B branded (yes they seared it with an actual branding iron!) artisan buns to the onion jam (you read that right- onion jam) on the Peppered Pig burger, the menu is full of unexpected treats.
If meat is not your thing you'll find a crabby patty, mac and cheese or vegetarian options to choose from – take a gander at their menu here and here.
Burgers & Barley is open Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. – stop by soon and catch the love!

4 Types of Movies That Keep Getting Recycled
I thoroughly enjoy watching movies, but lately, I've noticed that a lot of movies look very similar. I watch the trailers, and I swear I have deja vu. It's like when I watch the trailers, I swear I have deja vu.
So I started investigating to see which movies were extremely similar in style, theme and plot. And during my search, I found that there are 4 types of movies that keep getting recycled.
4. Movies about women getting revenge– If these movies have taught me anything, it's that you should never piss off women, especially if they are undercover agents, spies or armed with any type of weapon.
I'm not picking on women here, but I have noticed that this plot gets used over and over and over. A woman gets betrayed, she gets pissed, she kills a bunch of people who wronged her and….roll the credits. I just gave away the ending to most of those movies. My apologies.
Examples: Columbiana, Salt, Haywire, Kill Bill, The Brave One, and I'm sure there are more I'm leaving out.
Even though this does get used a lot, I do find some of these films enjoyable. For instance, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was really good. But maybe Hollywood should step away from this plot for a while and see if they can come up with something else. Make some movies about angry men getting revenge…oh wait that's been done to death too!
3. Horror films made like documentaries or with "found" footage– If I ever find a video camera in the woods or in a house and it's got a tape in it, you better believe that I'm not going to touch it. Not because I'm afraid of what's on the tape, I'm just afraid to have my name associated with a movie that gets less than 5% on Rotten Tomatoes.
This type of movie was innovative when the Blair Witch Project came out, but you can't expect me to believe that there is that much "found" footage just floating around the world, just laying somewhere, perfectly edited.
I would also like to point out that every time a movie comes out in this genre, the reviews get worse and worse. Don't believe me? Just look at these reviews from Rotten Tomatoes.
So Hollywood, the next time you find footage, just leave it alone. The only people who will see it are gullible morons who think that eventually one of these movies will be really good. And yes, I am one of those gullible morons. So save me a seat.
2. Movies about dancing- Every time I see a trailer for a movie about dancing, I really just can't understand it. How many movies can you make about dancing? To me, it just gets tiring after a while.
The ones that really get me are the Step Up movies. Basically, it's about gangs dancing against one another to prove how cool they are.
Whatever happened to gangs fighting and beating each other up? Instead they are dancing to show who is the biggest and baddest. I've never seen that happen in real life. But just imagine what that would be like.
Gang member 1: "Yo man, you better shut your mouth about my girl!"
Gang member 2: "Oh yeah, well what are you gonna do about it?"
Gang member 1: "Let me slip on my ballet slippers and I'll show you, fool."
Side not: If gangs danced, I'd probably stand a better chance of being cool enough to join one.
I guess it just bothers me to see such talent wasted. You see all these big guys who look like they are going to murder each other in an amazing action scene and then they break out and start dancing with each other. Ridiculous! And also well choreographed. There's no way all those dance sequences are spontaneous!
Examples: Step Up 1-3, Stomp the Yard, How She Move, Footloose, and I'm embarrassed that I can name that many off the top of my head.
1. Movies about aliens– In 2011, Hollywood thought that aliens would become the new vampires. A ton of movies came out using aliens. Aliens were in comedies (Paul), action movies (Cowboys and Aliens), horror films (Apollo 18) kid's animated movies (Mars Needs Moms), superhero movies (The Green Lantern), blockbusters (Super 8) and really sucky movies (I Am Number 4 and Battle Los Angeles). Hopefully in 2012, they will back off.
At this point, if aliens ever invaded the Earth, I probably wouldn't be afraid. I'm pretty sure Hollywood has covered every possible scenario and has shown us numerous ways we can survive. And if all else fails, we'll just call Will Smith and he will save the day. After all, he has been in Independence Day and Men In Black 1-3. So at this point he is an alien expert.
What types of movies do you see getting recycled a lot? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comment section.

Monday, 29 October 2018 After years of loyal service, we have unfortunately had to conclude that the current outdoor playground located next to the Park Restaurant is in need of replacement. On Monday 29 October 2018 we will start the demolition of the existing playground and the construction of the new playground. The attached artist's impression demonstrates what the new playground will look like. The new outdoor playground is scheduled to be completed on Monday 17 December 2018. This means there will be no outdoor playground next to the Park Restaurant between 29 October and 17 December. Visitors with children are of course very welcome in our indoor Kids Jungle on the other side of the Park Restaurant. The second outdoor playground, the Klimtuin (climbing garden), which is located between the Bush and the yellow-cheeked gibbons, will, of course, remain open to our younger visitors. We are excited to see the new playground complete and hope that you will come and test it as soon as it is ready. We apologise for any inconvenience the construction work might cause and thank you for your understanding that it is necessary to realise this new adventurous project!

Typically, the first step in doing any research involves conducting a search of the literature in the area(s) related to that in which you wish to conduct your research. This is extremely important because it helps you understand what has been done in the field, what terminology people working in the field typically use, what problems people in the field view as important (and unsolved) and what areas people in the field feel warrant attention. It also helps you find out if anyone has tried your ideas before, and if they did, what their outcomes (and/or problems) were.
Generally, begin by discussing your ideas with your adviser(s), who can hopefully point you to a small number of seminal papers in the area. From there, you begin to build your annotated bibliography. This will be used, as above, to help situate your work within a specific research community (sometimes across several communities), and will help keep your notes and thoughts organized into some kind of reading journal. Once you have your annotated bibliography, it will always be the first place you go for material when you start composing workshop and conference papers, journal articles, proposals, and your thesis!
Below is a structured guideline to creating an annotated bibliography. My advice for using it is as follows: you may want to add questions to the list below, but I would caution against removing any of the questions. If you have good reason(s) for not wanting (or being able) to answer any question(s) for particular papers or fields, then make sure you write that excuse in the annotated bibliography.
For each paper that you read, do the following:

At Craddock Electrical we are leading the way in ensuring safety at all of middle Tennessee's many marinas and boat docks, both public and private. The Tennessee State Fire Marshal's Office alerts Tennesseans to be aware of the risks from electrical shocks while boating or spending time on the water this summer.
Electrical Shock Drowning (ESD) can occur when swimmers come into contact with electrical currents while in the water. To reduce ESD risks, the state of Tennessee requires inspections of over 300 public marinas and docks across the state.
Boat dock or marina operators must comply with equipment requirements preventing possible electrical shocks and electrocution. Craddock Electrical can inspect both private and public boat docks and marinas to ensure compliance with equipment requirements and set forth by the State Fire Marshal's Office. Contact us to set up an inspection or installation.
Here are some tips to help avoid Electrical Shock Drowning (ESD):
- Have your boat tested once a year to see if it is leaking electricity
- Craddock electricians are trained to American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards. Let us install an Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ELCI) on your craft or use an ELCI in the shore power cord.
- Test ELCI at least once a month or per the manufacturer's specifications.
- Do not use common household extension cords for providing shore power to your boat.
- Use and encourage other boaters to use shore power cords built to UL standards.
- If you need electricity on your dock, Craddock Electrical will make sure the wiring meets the requirements. If your dock is already wired, Craddock will check that it was done properly. Because docks are exposed to the elements, their electrical systems should be inspected at least once a year.
- If you normally run a power cord from your house or garage to charge your batteries, make sure the outlet has a GFCI and include an ELCI somewhere in the shore power cord.
- Even if you adhere to all of these rules, nearby docks can still present a shock hazard. Educate your neighbors and work together with them to make the waterfront safe.
- Know how to distinguish drowning from ESD. Tingling, numbness, and pain all indicate ESD. Fight the instinct to enter the water. Many rescuers have died trying to help ESD victims.
- Call for help. Use 911 or VHF Channel 16 as appropriate.
- Turn off the shore power connection at the meter base and/or unplug shore power cords.
- Get the victim out of the water. Remember to reach, throw, row, but don't go.
- If the person is not breathing or you cannot find a pulse, perform CPR until the local fire department or emergency responders arrive.

Old section of Bartholomew County Jail divides sheriff candidates
Three candidates are vying for Bartholomew County Sheriff in the Republican primary. We asked the candidates whether the county should reopen the old section of the jail.
Incumbent Sheriff Matt Myers said the old section is going to have to be reopened.
Retired deputy Rob Kittle said that is a last resort, and an expensive one.
Retired State Trooper Tami Watson said it is necessary and inevitable.
The primary election is coming up on May 8th and early voting is underway now. No Democrats have yet filed for the sheriff's race.

Heritage Press – The Story of Reynard the Fox by J.W. von Goethe (1954)
August 13, 2017 § 2 Comments
The Story of Reynard the Fox by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1954))
Sandglass Number Unknown
Artwork: Wood Engravings by Fritz Eichenberg
Introduced by Edward Lazare, translated by Thomas James Arnold
Reprint of LEC #242, 23rd Series, V. 10
Click images for larger views.
Front Binding – Hello dear readers! Today's post features an illustrator I hold most dear; the masterful Fritz Eichenberg, who has made quite an impression on this blog with his exquisite woodcuts and other art scattered throughout the Limited Editions Club, the Heritage Press and a few non-Macy publications. His Macy bibliography is covered in The Brothers Karamazov. But here we get to see a slightly different side to Eichenberg as the majority of his engravings feature animals over humans (although humankind is represented here in the book), giving it much more of a fantastical edge. This is an epic poem from the legendary Germanic author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, although it is not the first appearance of the character Reynard the Fox — according to the introduction the fox has been around at least since the medieval period, with some variants of the tale appearing in Ghent (1148), German (1180), France (1175-1250), and Flemish (early 13th century). English has its earliest version appearing in the thirteenth century as well, alongside an Italian version. In short, Reynard has been around a long time, although it is a particularly excellent spin on this iconic tale that George Macy chose to publish.
Goethe makes his debut on our blog at last, as noted one of the German masters of literature and quite a well-rounded contributor to Germanic academia: among his many talents (including literature) were expertise in art, philosophy, science, diplomacy, architecture and botany. However, we will focus on his skill with the written word, of which George Macy printed two examples of (and his wife Helen a third). The play Faust was the first, issued as a LEC in 1932 starring Rene Clarke's talents. A Heritage exclusive of the same work was issued later on with Eugene Delacroix's artwork, possibly in 1959 (I don't have a copy in front of me to confirm my quick research on ABEBooks; I will update this once I do). I believe it uses the same text as the LEC. Next came this epic poem in 1954 for both clubs, followed by what may be his greatest novel Wilheim Meister's Apprenticeship in 1959, featuring William Sharp as artist. Not printed by Macy or his other clubs would be the contender for Goethe's greatest novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther, which helped propagate the worldwide literary movement of Romanticism.
Design Notes – The original LEC was designed by Eugene M. Ettenberg, who likely carried his designer title over to the Heritage edition as well. The font is Janson. I don't have a Sandglass unfortunately so I can't get too much more into the details than those observations in the Quarto.
Title Page – I really like this decoration Eichenberg crafted up for this page. Edward Lazare stepped in to provide a new introduction to this work, which was translated by Thomas James Arnold.

Personal Notes – This was another title Liz sent me last year. I plan to upgrade to a LEC down the road, but will hold on to this title until that day comes.
Trivia: The 10 Most Frequent Artists in the LEC
May 28, 2016 § 2 Comments
Hey, remember the trivia category? Well, I'm bringing it back. This time, let's examine who George Macy and the subsequent owners of the Limited Editions Club commissioned the most over the Club's long tenure!
10) Sylvain Sauvage (7)
Sauvage illustrated several French classics for the LEC, including Cyrano de Bergerac, The History of Zadig (pictured), and two works of Anatole France, The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard and At the Sign of the Queen Pedauque. He also handled As You Like It in the LEC Shakespeare.
9) Rene ben Sussan (8)
ben Sussan had two commissions of Honore de Balzac, rendering the worlds of Old Goriot and Eugenie Grandet as part of his eight titles for the LEC. He also had a hand in English drama, providing art for Jonson's Volpone, the Fox and Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Pictured is The Chronicle of the Cid.
8) John Austen (8)
Several British works were illustrated by Austen: Vanity Fair (pictured), The Comedy of Errors, The Faerie Queene, The Pickwick Club, and The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle. He also branched out a little with Aristophanes' The Birds.
7) Agnes Miller Parker (8)
The sole woman on our list, Parker's exquisite woodcuts brought life to all of Thomas Hardy's novels printed by the Club, as well as The Faerie Queene (pictured), Elegy Written in a Country Church-Yard, Richard the Second, and The Poems of Shakespeare.
6) T.M. Cleland (8)
A talented designer as well as artist, Cleland's artistic gifts were displayed a little less frequently, but often enough to earn a place on our list. Some of his works include The Decameron, The History of Tom Jones, The Way of the World, She Stoops to Conquer and The Life and Times of Tristan Shandy, Gentleman. Pictured is Monsieur Beauclaire.
5) Valenti Angelo (12)
The simplistic yet stylistic grace of Angelo graced a dozen books of the LEC, and several of them are masterworks of literature: The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, The House of the Seven Gables, The Books of a Thousand Nights and a Night, Songs of the Portuguese, and several religious texts, like The Koran, The Book of Proverbs and The Book of Psalms. Pictured is The Song of Roland.
4) Lynd Ward (13)
Ward's thirteen contributions mark him as one of the most prominent illustrators for Macy, and he didn't even work on the LEC Shakespeare like the majority of the others on this list! Ward's commissions ranged from non-fiction works such as Rights of Man and On Conciliation with America to fantastical works such as Beowulf and Idylls of the King to contemporary works like The Innocent Voyage (pictured) and For Whom the Bell Tolls.
3) Fritz Eichenberg (15)
The gifted Eichenberg worked the longest stretch of any of our artists; his first commission was 1939's Richard the Third for the LEC Shakespeare to 1986's The Diary of a Country Priest. One of the few to work under late Club owner Sid Shiff, Eichenberg's output left the LEC a lasting legacy that is difficult to ignore. Best known for his work on the Russian legends of literature, including Eugene Onegin, Crime and Punishment (pictured), Fathers and Sons, and Childhood, Boyhood, Youth.
2) Edward A. Wilson (17)
Wilson was productive, to say the least; he even had his own Heritage volume detailing his artwork! Among the many classics he brought visual splendor to are Westward Ho! (pictured), Treasure Island, The Tempest, Robinson Crusoe, Journey to the Center of the Earth and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
1) Fritz Kredel (20)
And finally we come to Fritz Kredel, the king of illustrating for the LEC with a massive twenty volumes! Many collections of fairy tales were conjured by Kredel, including both Andersen (pictured) and the Brothers Grimm. Two Shakespeares, two Trollopes, two Twains, Thackeray, Darwin, Austen, Plato and Heine were among the literary giants Kredel decorated for Macy, and his talent was certainly up to such a diverse palette of books.
Next time, we'll explore the most frequent Heritage Press artists in terms of their exclusives. We'll see how many of these artisans cross over!
Hertiage Press – War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (1943)

Front Bindings – Hello again, everyone! It's nice to be back. And this is my first post in my new home. Funny how this doesn't feel any different, and yet…this is the first time I've not lived in my home town. So many other parts of my life are so radically different from before, but it's comforting to know that writing here is a little nostalgic in its own strange way…Anyway, you're not here necessarily to read about my life changes. Let's get to brass tacks and discuss a monstrous two volume set that stars two illustrators: the Heritage War and Peace.
War and Peace is arguably the great Leo Tolstoy's magnum opus; the George Macy Company agreed with this sentiment, publishing two versions of the classic, one for each publishing house (which was also done with Anna Karenina, but gave that particular book two LEC editions instead). The LEC received a six volume set in 1938, decorated by the esteemed Barnett Freedman (who also did the art for Anna Karenina). The Heritage Press, meanwhile, received this two volume set later in 1943, starring another prominent illustrator of Russian texts, Fritz Eichenberg. Eichenberg wasn't alone on this edition, however; Macy licensed the paintings of Russian painter Vassily Verestchagin, who was at the time unpublished in the United States, to decorate the battle-filled second half of the book. Eichenberg is primarily reserved for the first volume. Before you get super excited, though, Eichenberg left his woodcutting tools out of the equation for this commission, and instead went with a simpler inked line approach for his artistry. It's certainly adequate, but may not be as well-received as his exquisite woodcuts and lithographs that grace other Macy volumes. Tolstoy and Eichenberg would meet twice more (with his patented woodblocks) in the future for the LEC, with Resurrection and Childhood, Boyhood, Youth seeing his flourish in 1963 and 1974, respectively.
Tolstoy's publishing history with Macy is detailed in Anna Karenina, and Eichenberg's is covered in The Brothers Karamazov.
Design details are most abridged in this set; one page of the Sandglass is spent on the cast of the book, forcing Macy to gloss over most of the publication details. Perhaps World War II (which was in full swing at this point) caused the book to be printed in-house entirely? The boards are covered in a "silky maroon linen", with gold leaf (mine appears silver) for Eichenberg's design and for the spine's text. Eichenberg contributed forty drawings, and Verestchagin's paintings were taken from the Napoleonic campaigns collection at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. And…that's all I can give you. However, Django6924 had plenty to say about the book's release date, as well as an interesting story about Freedman (I had originally mentioned that Freedman died in 1958, and had supposed that this release followed his death):
Jerry, your Sandglass is the same as mine and dates from the initial HP release in 1943. When War and Peace was re-issued in 1951, it was in a single volume and the Sandglass didn't have any details on the production either.
In your article you mention that since Freedman died in 1958, that this edition dates from then. It is one of those little details that make the collecting of HP editions a fascinating game of detective work! In fact, this statement proves how strange things were for Macy during the war, and how much confusion existed in those days before satellite communications. In fact, Macy, and many others, I'm sure, believed that Freedman had died serving as a War Artist–having been sent to France in April 1940 to record the work of the BEF–either during the near-disaster of Dunkirk, or being lost when the Bismarck sank HMS Hood, with with virtually the entire ship's company.
Freedman was nearly lost at Dunkirk when he left the complement of War Artists to retrieve the one painting he had completed before the Germans forced the evacuation. As told in the wonderful book The Sketchbook War: Saving the Nation's Artists in World War II (which features the exploits of several LEC illustrators), Freedman had "a last defiant meal on French soil before leaving the burning city–three bottles of champagne and a tin of bully beef" before getting on an ammunition boat which brought him to England. After this, he was posted, not on HMS Hood as Macy thought, but on HMS Repulse, which was one of the ships that sank the Bismarck. This is undoubtedly the origin on the comment "late, great painter" in the 1943 War and Peace Sandglass and the comment in the 1951 War and Peace Sandglass that Freedman was a survivor of the sinking of the Hood (in fact there were only two survivors) and a survivor of Dunkirk.
Isn't that fascinating? Once again, World War II wrecks havoc on Macy's plans, much like it did with Oedipus the King, This is the Hour, and Le Fleurs de Mal, among others. At least this one had a happy ending, and Freedman lived through his trials as a war painter (to ultimately come back and do Anna Karenina!). Funny how this post has been a bit of a circle, and how War and Peace seems to be an actual theme to the events of Macy's artists, too!
Title Page – The text is taken from the LEC edition of War and Peace, which featured a modified translation by noted Tolstoy scholars Louise and Aylmer Maude. The latter also provides an introduction and many notes to the text. Macy made plenty of his own notes of how this is an exclusive to his printing houses, so he must have had some pride in acquiring it.

Limited Editions Club/Heritage Press: Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev (1951/1941)

Front Binding – Today is the second and final work of Ivan Turgenev's output for the Limited Editions Club, Fathers and Sons. In case you missed the first post on the Cardevon Press-published The Torrents of Spring, click this link. This is also the third time we've covered a LEC that came from a Heritage Press exclusive! The two earlier instances we've documented include Crime and Punishment and The Diary of Moll Flanders. The former shares a connection with this book through its illustrator; yes, that ever-so-frequent artist of many of the Macy Russian novels — and personal favorite — Fritz Eichenberg. The German-born Eichenberg seemed to have a knack for conjuring up the right mood for the works of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin and now Turgenev; the only Russian masters he missed were Gogol and Chekhov. I've documented Eichenberg's extensive career for Macy and the subsequent LEC handlers here.
So, with Turgenev and Eichenberg thoroughly covered, let's get into the production details. The Heritage original came out in 1941 (the first illustrated edition of the work, even!), and the LEC decided to try their own spin on the classic using the Heritage as a base in 1951 (curious how both Crime and Punishment and Fathers and Sons took exactly ten years for Macy to come to the decision to upgrade the Heritage to a LEC; Moll Flanders, on the other hand, was 12 years, and another example, Beowulf, was about 13 years). The illustrations for this edition were taken directly from Eichenberg's woodblocks, which he had fortunately retained during the decade following the original publication (the Heritage original used electroplating to reproduce the artwork and text for cost management purposes). The Heritage was composed and printed by A. Colish on Worthy Paper Company paper, and bound by the ever-reliable Russell-Rutter. The LEC edition, on the other hand, was handed over to the Spiral Press and Joseph Blumenthal for its execution. The letter notes that The Lyrics of Francois Villon (1931), Sister Carrie (1938), The Pilgrim's Progress (1940), and Spoon River Anthology (1941) were previously done by the Press, but World War II made Blumenthal to shut down the printing shop in order to join the fight, and only after its conclusion and subsequent resetting of shop could he once more print books. Blumenthal designed the LEC edition with the Scotch font, which was printed on Curtis Paper Company paper ("Curtis Rag", to be specific). Eichenberg contributed the chapter flourishes, printed in a gray ink. The illustrations were printed on Japanese "wood-block" paper, a light paper that works quite well to make Eichenberg's scenes pop on the page. The Spiral Press also handled this business. The bindery is absent, but the Quarto confirms Russell-Rutter was in charge. Eichenberg supplied a new illustration to be brass-stamped onto the black buckram front board; the back is lacking the art, but keeps the cloth. The spine is a natural buckram, with a leather block featuring the title done in gold leaf, which Eichenberg also supplied.
Title Page – Constance Garnett's translations are once more summoned for this particular work; it's a rare instance when she is not the translator of a Russian text. Heritage Press/LEC board member John T. Winterich takes over Preface duties. As I've observed elsewhere, he often wrote the Heritage exclusive prefaces, and when he appears in a LEC volume it seems to be an indicator of its status as an original from that press.
Colophon – Eichenberg signs this edition, and this is #734 of 1500 copies.
Examples of the Illustrations by Eichenberg (right click and open in new tab for full size):
Personal Notes – I took a bit of a gamble on this work, as I ordered it online from ABEBooks. It looked fantastic from the store-supplied photos, and the price of $25 (with shipping) for a complete edition was too good to pass up. Luckily, the book is as advertised, and I'm giddy at having my third Eichenberg LEC.

Now let's take a look at the Heritage original…
Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev (1941)
Sandglass Number 4E
Artwork: Engravings by Fritz Eichenberg
Translated by Constance Garnett. Preface by John T. Winterich.
Originally a Heritage Press exclusive; upgraded in 1951 to a LEC.
Front Binding – Django6924 contributes the following info and photographs of his Heritage copy:
…the 1941 edition of Turgenev's Fathers & Sons, which came about, according to Sandglass 4E, because of the astounding popularity of the earlier HP original Crime & Punishment, illustrated by Fritz Eichenberg. The HP subscribers apparently clamored for another Russian novel illustrated by Eichenberg, and though it seems odd the one they chose was Fathers & Sons, it was, to quote the Bard, "a hit! A palpable hit!" — so much so that, as it did with the Dostoevsky novel, the LEC issued its own Fathers & Sons 10 years later with these same illustrations. The LEC version is very nice, with a beautiful paper and a more sober binding design, but I must say I prefer the HP's binding, and since I have both, I can vouch that the reproductions of Eichenberg's wood engravings are just as good here as in the LEC — identical to my eyes. The typography is also superb…The novel itself is of major importance in Russian literature, and Turgenev's best-known. (Please excuse the quality of the photography — everything was shot under available light as my studio lights are all in storage.)
The Sandglass (4E) does not mention the designer other than saying it was intended to be a "companion volume" to the HP Crime and Punishment, so I would assume the designer of that edition, Carl Purington Rollins, deserves the credit, though I suspect if anyone did the actual design it was George Macy.
The production details are below:
Title – Winterich is not credited on the title page as he is in the LEC, but he does have a preface here. These pages were totally redesigned for the LEC run; of note is the drastically different title font and color.

Of Interest – Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, as issued by Random House (1943)
August 28, 2013 § 2 Comments
I'm quite pleased to be share what I think is one of the treasures of my non-Macy book collection today: the Random House issuing of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, released in 1943. The star of the show is Fritz Eichenberg, who once again produces masterpieces of wood engraving to grace the texts of Emily and Charlotte Bronte, respectively. Why George Macy never negotiated to release fancy LEC editions of these exquisite renditions is beyond me; I'm still stumped as to why the Bronte sisters never had LEC editions in the various Macy's tenure (or under Cardevon Press' eye, for that matter). Sid Shiff would resurrect Balthus' Wuthering Heights illustrations for his own edition in 1993, giving at least one sister the literary credence she deserved; Chris over at Books & Vines has a thorough post on that edition. Perhaps Macy wasn't too big on the Brontes. Personally, I'm sad that Anne Bronte tends to be forgotten in these special sets…but that's neither here nor there.
The Heritage Press did issue these two books with art from Barrett Freedman, but in my humble opinion Freedman is outclassed handily by Eichenberg's amazing artwork. I'll try to check out the two HP titles for comparison some time. At any rate, these books were designed by Richard Ellis (who I just rambled about for The Ambassadors), using Monotype Bodoni for the font (with long descenders). Kingsport Press composed the text, and H. Wolff Book Manufacturing Company handled both printing and bindery duties. Eichenberg's engravings were printed via letter press from electrotypes of the originals. If only all of these non-Macy books were so upfront about their publication details!
Let's start with Wuthering Heights.

I'm being a little less talky on this post due to time; I've got a lot of other things to do today, but I think it's fairly clear that I love these two books and they come highly recommended!
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: Random House's Edition of Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination
August 10, 2013 Comments Off on Of Interest: Random House's Edition of Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination
The second "Outside the Macy Sphere" book post is on Random House's exquisite 1944 issuing of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination, here simply titled Tales of Edgar Allan Poe. While the mystery and imagination have been exorcised from the title here, Fritz Eichenberg did his best through his woodcuts here to represent those fantastical notions. H. Wolff Book Manufacturing Company of New York printed up the work, and Margaret B. Evans served as the designer.
Front Binding – This is a nice, medium-sized book that was originally issued with a light blue slipcase, featuring a nice cerulean (if I'm mistaken, I apologize; I'm unfortunately quite familiar with the Crayola color wheel :0 ) fabric with black and gold stamps for the spine (as you'll see below).
Title Page – Harvey Allen introduces the work, and, of course, Mr. Eichenberg serves up several woodcut illustrations that spice up most of the tales. He did one per tale from what I've noticed. Unfortunately, I do not have as many crisp shots as I would like for this post; only four of the six turned out really well, so I'll likely add in a couple more whenever I photograph more books in the future.
Example Woodcuts by Eichenberg (right click to enlarge):
For contrast with the Macy publication, see here. Out of the two, I think both William Sharp and Eichenberg bring a chilling tone to their artwork in their own ways. I am quite fond of Eichenberg, as is well stated throughout this blog, but I feel Sharp also grasped the underlying terror and darkness swirling about Poe's stories. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either edition!

As reported last week, Equifax systems were struck by a cybersecurity breach that may have affected about 143 million U.S. consumers, one of the largest in history. Cornerstone is monitoring the situation and assessing how the breach impacts financial institutions.
Cornerstone actively supports legislation that would enact strict data security standards for entities that handle consumer information, as well as put in place a national data breach notification standard.
On Friday, U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling said his committee will hold a hearing on the Equifax data breach, date to be announced.
"The Equifax data breach highlights the urgency of enacting data breach legislation in the current Congress," said Jim Phelps, Cornerstone's chief advocacy officer. "Consumers must have the ability to know if they have been compromised and have the tools to protect themselves. Cornerstone will continue to press members of our congressional delegation for a legislative solution, and credit union advocates are also encouraged to contact their representatives in support of breach legislation."
Intruders in the Equifax breach accessed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and driver license numbers somewhere between mid-May and July of this year. Credit card information for about 209,000 consumers was accessed, along with dispute documents containing personal identifying information for about 182,000 consumers.
"Unfortunately, consumers don't really have a choice about whether to share their data with Equifax or the other big credit bureaus," wrote Marc Hochstein for Credit Union Journal. "The fact that Americans are all subject to Equifax makes the company's failure to protect people's data especially galling."

If you've ever had a personal conversation with me, you would know one of two things: I love post-production and my favorite show is Saturday Night Live (SNL). This is what made me so excited when I found the podcast, "You Think Your Schedule Is Tight? Try Editing SNL" from Fitness in Post. It was an interesting listen, hearing Adam Epstein breakdown his schedule and workflow while being senior editor of Saturday Night Live.
If you think your package deadline is tight, imagine getting all your footage 24 hours before it airs. If you are not familiar with the show, SNL is a live production that is written and filmed all within the same week. Although the show is live, SNL features a few "shorts" that were film before the previous episode airs. Because of the tight deadline between rehearsals and filming, all the footage is delivered to Epstein the night before. He makes the rough cut that night and comes in early morning to finish the product – with the help of a DIT on set and assigned colorist.
The part that blew my mind is the fact that the final sequence is exported to it's codec, minutes before the live airing. Seriously. Epstein estimates that the final version is received ten minutes before air time. The pressure the editors of SNL feel are high, but are greatly rewarding. The podcast also touches on other subjects, such as NLE and timeline setup. You can listen to the full podcast here!

Complaint For Way Bill Number 34762760745
Hi. I am expecting the delivery of a package and my way bill number is 34762760745. I have been given this way bill number by INDUSIND Bank 2 days back and I have been trying to contact Bluedart since then but your customer service number is busy all the time. Every time I called 18602331234 it says that the route is busy. When I enquired with INDUSIND Bank they told me that you have updated the entry to my location was restricted on 11th of October. What is that? Was there a national holiday or a curfew in the city.
I need the delivery to happen asap, or else I am going to escalate this big time.
