Yea… about that poll
Remember that poll I did?
Well, I'm finally getting around to writing the wrap-up post about it.
As you can see from the right, Texas Governor Rick Perry holds onto his title as Governor Goodhair.
I'll do another poll sometime soon if I get around to it.
A new feature
This blog now has star ratings.
I've wanted to add these for a while, but I just now got around to making a couple changes to the CSS coding that wouldn't make it look horrible and out of place.
So, feel free to tell me what you think with the stars since most of you are too damn lazy to leave comments… or something.

Today I had an eye doctor's appointment in Houston. The appointment went great.
The trip back home was even better. A good hour and a half of blasting rock and driving 70 MPH without hitting any traffic.
Nothing better in the world if you ask me…

So I'm good for you if you've got a cold?
Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.
|You Are Chicken Noodle Soup
You are very loyal, especially to your family. You prefer a low-key life, with lots of time spent at home.
You like soup because it's easy, quick, and cheap.
You tend to have a favorite soup you stick to. Why change a good thing?

Holiday Jack gets into the spirit
Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.
Last year about this time, Jack in the Box gave away "Holiday Jack's" to people who bought a certain combo meal. I bought that mean and stuck Jack on my car.
It's been a rough year for Jack. His hat's faded, he has an eye and his mouth are missing, but he's still in the spirit.

Who has better hair? We put the poll up, you decide.
Ever since Rod Blagojevich made the news for his (alleged) corruption, I've wondered one thing.
Who has better hair?
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich
Texas Governor Rick Perry
I can't decide, so I'm asking y'all.
The poll's up in the right sidebar just under "About Me." It'll be open for
two weeks a week, then I'll come back and post the results.
And, if this goes well, a new poll.

Plaxico Burress on gun safety:
Just the guy I want to learn from!
The kid's first time
Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.
I took Bruiser outside briefly when it snowed last week. He wasn't terribly thrilled about it.
OK, I've seen snow now. Now can we please go inside?
And I took him in not long after that.
Of our three, only Taffy's seen snow before. Not because she's old, but just because she lived in Fort Worth before coming to us.
Here's how the three kids reacted to it:
- Petey: Ran around in it some, but went back in pretty quick.
- Bruiser: Walked around a little, but wasn't very interested.
- Taffy: Didn't want anything to do with it.
I don't have pictures of the other two in it.

The palms
The palm tree across the street with a little something unusual on top:
I've uploaded the same photo to Weather Underground's photo galleries. It's got a rating on there (as of when I wrote this) of 9.2.
The snow was falling fairly hard and with those big, fat flakes when I took the picture. The snow messed with my autofocus some, but most of my shots came out wonderfully.
Thursday, December 11, 2008
Updated: Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Might be worth it to hit play while reading this:
Overnight something happened that hasn't happened (that I can remember anyway) for almost 20 years.
We had a decent snowfall.
Beaumont missed out on the 2004 Christmas Eve snowstorm, not getting enough to do anything with.
This is only the third time in my life I've seen an accumulation of snowfall. It happened once here when I was about four years old and once when I was traveling to Washington, DC.
My brother happened to be up when I looked out the window just to see if any had accumulated. Boy had it!
He got dressed and we went out and did what kids do: play in the snow.
This is the first time he'd seen it in his life. He was around the last time we had snow, but he wasn't old enough to remember it.
We had snowball fights, made mini-snowmen, and even made snow angels, as you can see.
We even briefly took all three of the dogs out in it.
As you can see from this shot of me with Bruiser, they weren't very thrilled.
When I was out there earlier I stuck my finger in a random place just to see how much was sitting on top of the grass. My finger went most of the way, making it at least two inches worth.
I walked down the street and talked with a neighbor who's a college student from another country, though I'm not sure which. I told him that the last time we'd had a snow like this I was four years old. He countered by saying that, where he was from, it snowed six months out of the year. He later commented that it "felt like home."
I've got a lot more pictures that I shot, and I'll share them here in Friday Photos during the upcoming weeks.
If you can't wait, then you can check out my photo gallery, in which the snow pictures have their own category.
Sadly, the snow should melt off quickly once the sun comes up, as the high today is supposed to get into the 50's.
Which I'm not really complaining about, considering it was rainy, windy, and never got out of the 30's all day yesterday.
UPDATE: The NWS put out this Record Report today. Shows you just how amazing this is:
... Record earliest measurable snowfall set at Beaumont Port Arthur...
... All time record snowfall for December set at Beaumont Port
Officially 1.8 inches of snow was measured at the southeast Texas regional Airport. This sets the all time earliest measurable snowfall record for Beaumont Port Arthur. The previous record was set on December 22 1989 when 0.7 inches of snow was measured.

Ike recovery update
I figured I should give a window into how our personal Ike recovery is going.
All that's left is getting the roof fixed. It's not terrible and we don't have any leaks so it wasn't something we were exactly rushing to take care of.
Last week we called our roofer, who was supposed to come out and see us for the past month. For some reason we weren't in their computer system, so we were told we'd be getting a call back from them later.
When they did call back they apologized profusely and said they'd be out in a couple days to take a look at the roof and give us an estimate.
Our insurance adjuster had assumed that the roof just needed some patches in a few place when he looked at it.
Well, the roofer disagreed.
He said that he could patch it, but a lot of areas needed patching (mainly because of loose shingles, which are common from hurricanes) and we'd be better off with getting the whole roof replaced.
The roofer's talking it over with the insurance company for us. All we've had to do for them is fax them the receipt from the work they did after Rita three years ago, which was just a patch of one area.
It makes sense for them to ask. I know of at least one person who got their check to get roof repairs done after Rita but didn't ever get them done. Their insurance company refused to pay this time around, as they should.
Anyway, we should be scheduled to get the roof redone sometime in the near future and we'll be pretty much back to normal.

Think twice next time before you talk about your ex-girlfriends
The Stars' Sean Avery, suspended:
Of all the cajoling, snide remarks and other stunts Sean Avery pulled on the way to becoming the biggest pest in hockey, never had he gone so far that the NHL suspended him -- until Tuesday.
Avery was punished indefinitely by commissioner Gary Bettman for using a crude term about his former girlfriends now dating other hockey players. Bettman acted within hours, in time to keep Avery out of the Dallas Stars' game against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.
Over what? A comment about ex-girlfriends:
"I'm really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada," the Ontario native said. "I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight." He then walked out of the locker room.
He was referring to ex-girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert (picture below), who has gone on to date other NHL players.
Personally, I thought Avery's comment was stupid, but hardly worth a suspension.
Honestly, I doubt even Roger Goodell would have suspended Avery for the comment.

How 'bout them Texans
So the Texans finally got some exposure on Monday Night Football.
They made the most of it, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-17.
I watched the entire game and was very impressed with how they played out there.
Hopefully the exposure helps them get rid of the image that they're the "lowly" Texans and earns the team some respect.
And a MNF game next year.

Vernis in Love by Lancome, what an amazing collection. When I spoke to the lovely PR at Lancome she said it felt like they had fallen in love with colour again and it's easy to see why.
Vernis in love comes in 22 shades, and has the most fab wide brush and perfect formula. These are £12 each which I think is fairly reasonable for the quality of these. There's not much more to say, lets just look at the swatches! I was sent seven of the shades to show you, of which I'm showing you six. I'm not showing you the far left one 020M Pure Narcisse, there's nothing wrong with it but I have a mixture of different types of acrylic on my nails at the moment from practising on myself, Pure Narcisse is a milky sheer and is lovely actually, but I don't want you to see my nails so I'm just going to show you the rest of the colours!
Starting with 112B Rouge in Love.
The signature red of the collection, beautiful, rich, shiny, and classy.
154M Miss Coquelicot
Bright vibrant gorgeous orange!
220M Jolis Matins
Perfect work safe peach toned nude. Wore this for days and days on end!
573B Bleu De Flore
My fave in the selection I received. A rich deep blue which is really quite teal in some lights but pure blue in others. Glossy and gorgeous.
Finally we have 501B in Aquamarine. I did something a bit different with this one and painted tips on top of the previous shade and I think the effect was fab, if a little less than perfect.
Love the bright aqua shade and love the combination with Bleu De Flore, this manicure got lots and lots of compliments!
So that's everything I have to show you from this collection and whilst the colours might not be earth shattering it is a lovely selection of colours and the formula is absolutely fabulous. Highly recommended.
Available from Lancome counters and of course www.lancome.co.uk
I'll be bringing you several of the Rouge in Love Lipsticks soon too, so look out for them!
*Disclosure – Press Samples*
Wow they are all beautiful! The nude is so pretty.
It is lovely isn't it. x
loved the manicure at the end. damn, i wish i could do french manicures 🙁 x
I find it much easier with colours actually x

What is the SOAR Ohio Project?
The SOAR Ohio project helps move Ohio's most vulnerable populations into better housing opportunities. We work on behalf of disabled individuals who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, preparing to exit institutions and/or a diagnosis of a severe and persistent mental illness by helping them expedite the federal Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance (SSI/SSDI) application process to access safe, decent, affordable housing.
The application process for SSI/SSDI is very complicated and difficult to navigate and requires extensive documentation. For people struggling with homelessness or exiting jails, prisons, or hospitals, access to these programs can be extremely challenging. Approval on initial application for people who experiencing or at-risk of homelessness and who have no one to assist them is about 10-15 percent. For those who have a mental illness, substance use issues, or co-occurring disorders that impair cognition, the application process is even more difficult – yet accessing these benefits is often a critical first step toward recovery, housing and stability.
COHHIO has adopted the SOAR (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery) model developed by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to address this critical need in Ohio. SOAR-trained case managers submit complete and quality applications that are approved quickly.
How does the Project Work? Clients work with SOAR Ohio Specialists in agencies around Ohio. These are highly trained caseworkers who use the evidenced-based SOAR methodology (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery) to complete expedited disability applications on behalf of clients.
Through a strong partnership with the Social Security Administration and the Division of Disabilities Determination, SOAR Ohio Specialists represent clients during the application process from start to finish. To locate a SOAR Ohio Specialist, click on the "Locate a SOAR Ohio Specialist" button above.
Who is eligible to work with a specialist? Individuals who are homeless meeting the SSA/SOAR definition of homelessness (living on the streets, "couch surfing," etc.), at risk of homelessness (e.g. home in foreclosure) or exiting a prison, hospital, nursing home, or other institution, and who present with a mental illness and/or physical disability that interferes with their ability to work may be eligible to work with a Specialist.
What are the outcomes? The SOAR Ohio Project has helped thousands of Ohioans access the disability benefits they need to help maintain their housing, health, and financial stability. Ohio's program stood out as first in the nation for number of applications submitted and a close second for approvals granted, according to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 2016 SOAR Outcomes Report. The SOAR Ohio team has also helped clients get results much faster than the national average. From July 2016 to June 2017, communities across Ohio have seen the impact of $5.5 million in financial support and medical coverage for clients approved through the SOAR program. Click here for the 2017 SOAR Outcome Report. COHHIO and SOAR Ohio Project would like to share the 2018 National SOAR Outcomes Report and point out that we were highlighted for the expertise and passion of the work that our partner agencies, SOAR Ohio specialist are doing in their communities.

Milan, October 24th, 2017 – A new double-blind placebo-controlled human study[1] reveals that a short-term dietary curcumin-based supplementation may be helpful in the maintenance of the gastrointestinal barrier integrity and physiological strain responses during exertional heat stress. The study has been conducted independently by a team of American researchers at the High Point University (NC).
The study examined an acute supplementation regimen, where participants ingested 5 tablets (500 mg each) of Meriva® curcumin or placebo for three days prior to exertional heat stress (EHS). This dosing strategy was selected with reference to those used in two recent clinical studies demonstrating the positive effects of Meriva® on healthy inflammatory responses to endurance cycling[2] and on reducing inflammatory cytokines in circulation.[3]
EHS was performed in a Darwin chamber (37°C/25%RH) where the participants completed 1 hour of treadmill exercise. Before the test, subjects were supplemented with the same daily dose of Meriva®. There were two major findings in this study. First, it demonstrates that dietary curcumin supplementation may reduce the rise in core temperature (Tc), mean body temperature (Tb), Heart Rate (HR) and Physiological Strain Index (PSI) during exertional heat stress. Second, it shows that these changes are accompanied by maintenance in GI barrier integrity and associated cytokine responses, as indicated by the lower circulating concentrations of Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) post-exercise in subjects supplemented with curcumin (58% vs 87% in the placebo group, p =0.002). These data suggest that short-term dietary curcumin supplementation may help to lower EHS risk in non-heat acclimated individuals. This study was the first to examine curcumin for potential benefits on system-level physiology responses during exertional heat stress.
"Several scientific studies reveal that exercise-heat stress increases gastrointestinal damage and risk of exertional heatstroke. This happens because during prolonged endurance exercise blood flow is mainly diverted towards skeletal muscle and skin." commented Antonella Riva, Product Research Manager Indena – "These new positive human data confirm and expand our current findings on Meriva® in sport nutrition, thanks to its outstanding performance in the maintenance of healthy inflammatory levels related to physiological mechanisms occurring during physical activities through the protection of gastrointestinal system."
Cosimo Palumbo, Indena Marketing Director, added: "Indena gladly provided the High Point University with Meriva® to conduct this independent study. We are pleased that our curcumin formulation, already supported for its efficacy and safety by several clinical studies, continues to stimulate researchers' interest from all over the world. This is a matter of pride for Indena after years of dedication to seek excellence and innovation for consumers and business partners."
[1] – Szymanski MC et al., Short-term dietary curcumin supplementation reduces gastrointestinal barrier damage and physiological strain responses during exertional heat stress J Appl Physiol, September 2017. Doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00515.2017.

[3] – McFarlin BK et al., Reduced inflammatory and muscle damage biomarkers following oral supplementation with bioavailable curcumin. BBA Clin 5:72-78, 2016.
Meriva® is a patented delivery form of curcumin based on Indena's proprietary Phytosome® technology, for healthy inflammatory response, joint health and eye health. Pharmacokinetic comparison studies have shown Meriva® to improve the overall curcuminoids bioavailability by about 30-fold, and significant absorption benefits; in particular, demethoxycurcumin (the most potent curcuminoid in numerous bioassays) was found to be 50-fold more bioavailable as compared to a non-formulated curcumin extract. Indena technology relies on the use of dietary adjuvants (lecithin) and is supported by 29 clinical trials on efficacy and by a robust tolerability and safety profile.

God had given the ducks wings with which to fly
He pounded the pulpit with his beak and said, "With these wings, there is nowhere we ducks can not go!
"There is no God-given task we ducks cannot accomplish!
"With these wings we no longer need walk through life. We can soar high in the sky!"
Shouts of "Amen!¨ were quacked throughout the duck congregation.
The duck preacher concluded his message by exclaiming, "With our wings we can fly through life! WE CAN FLY!!!!¨
More ducks quacked out loud "AMEN!" in response.
Every duck loved the service.
In fact all the ducks that were present commented on what a wonderfully convicting message they had heard from their duck preacher....and then they left the church and waddled all the way home.
Too often we waddle away from worship the same way we waddled in....unchanged.

Treat yourself to a tasty meal whilst you're here.
Part of the joys of going on holiday is not having to worry about what you're going to eat.
Forget about that diet plan that you were sticking to, no need to worry about hunting down those elusive Britannia oven spares for your cooker and you can put all thoughts of meal plans behind you: you're on holiday so why indulge in meal out at a legendary North Wales restaurant. With acres of fertile farmland and a rich history of keeping livestock, restaurants in North Wales often make the most of the access to local ingredients, so you'll find that the food you're eating has usually only travelled a few miles to get to your plate.
Book a table at one of these legendary restaurants before you make the journey to visit us:
Sosban and The Old Butchers
In a region famed for its rustic food, Sosban and The Old Butchers stands above many of its local competitors purely because of its cavalier approach to dining traditions and exclusive nature.
Opened by husband and wife team Stephen and Bethan Stevens, this fine-dining restaurant is only open for three evening services and one lunchtime a week. Since it was awarded a Michelin Star their books have been constantly rammed, so if you want to get a table at this 16-cover marvel you'll need to be patient!
Where? Menai Bridge, Isle of Anglesey How much? £80 per head for dinner, £40 per head for lunch
The Bull
A little more affordable but no less in demand, The Bull has been run by owner David for over 30 years and has transformed from a humble pub to a well-established contemporary restaurant and hotel in that time. Championing local produce that is treated with a deft touch, the food that you'll find at The Bull is a touch above the usual gastro-pub fare, although that doesn't mean you won't be able to find a few classics on the menu. You can choose to dine in their causal Coach restaurant or head up to the Loft where you'll be treated to an award-winning fine dining menu.
Where? Beaumaris, Isle of Anglesey How much? Five courses in the Loft from £55 per person or mains in the Coach start from £12.75
Bron Eifion
Set within its own luxurious landscaped gardens, after a meal at Bron Eifion you might well be tempted to stay the night in one of their spectacular rooms. Winner of a AA Rosette, this hotel makes for a truly sumptuous stay but is also home to an excellent restaurant. Arrive on a Friday night to make the most of their special Grill night where you can pick up a 10 oz steak (fish and vegetarian options are also available) along with a glass of wine or bottle of beer for as little £14.95. During the week you can make a selection from their ever-changing menu of Welsh and British classics.
Where? Criccieth, Gwynedd How much? 3 courses for £30 during the week for dinner.
The Hand at Llanarmon
Buried in the Ceriog Valley, this Hotel, Spa and Restaurant might be a little hard to find but the excellent food served for breakfast, lunch and dinner is definitely worth the journey. Chef Grant Mulholland was awarded two AA Rosettes signifying the 'culinary excellence' that he has worked to achieve at The Hand and you only have to sample a taste of his cooking to appreciate the care that has gone into producing and preparing it.
Where? Ceiriog Valley, Llangollen How much? Pub classics from £14.50.

When we started noticing what was around us we created a landscape of the patterns we found around the school. This helps us improve our descriptions in writing.
Wednesday, 24 February 2016
BJ, Moko and Te Kawana took turns to teach us all how to solve a maths problem by using the part whole strategy.
This stick game is where we grab 2 numbers that make another number one of us calls out. It teaches us to add really quickly and makes us aware that there are many ways to make a number,
During brain break we eat fruit, drink milk, skip and do a running circuit to stay healthy and fresh for our new learning to come.
We got to play some cool board games today which taught us how to talk and listen to each other as well as learn the meaning of big words by reading around them and sounding them out.
Magnetic maths makes maths easy to understand because we get to move things around and talk about our ideas together.
Room 2 visited several rooms during our health expo rotation and learnt how systems work in the school to keep them safe and healthy.

Delay of Game
It's as if overnight our sweet, compliant child has decided that he is a card-carrying adult member of our household. He takes this new status seriously, letting us know his opinion on everything, from what we eat, watch or read to where we go, and he even chimes in on directions while we are on the way.
It amazes me how much this little guy notices at the young age of 2 ½. A couple of weeks ago, on our usual route to school, I had to make a quick stop to drive through a restaurant. This caused me to turn left instead of right leaving our neighborhood. As soon as the car started to turn left, I hear from the back seat, "Don't go that way, Daddy." It was funny at first, but about 10 minutes later, as I was still trying to explain to him that I did in fact know exactly what I was doing, it had passed from being cute to just annoying.
As Elliot fiercely tries to show us his independence, he now insists on putting on his own clothes and shoes (or at least attempting to), getting in his car seat by himself and on occasion ordering his own meals at restaurant. Last week he was shocked to learn that Chuy's doesn't serve donuts.
While this is an integral part of his developmental process, I think it is just as much a part of the process for me. I am the type of person who is always in a hurry, usually for no good reason. My coworkers chide me for walking too fast through Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas on our way to meetings. I have to make a conscious effort to talk slowly, force myself to stop and read emails before I send them full of typos that are driven by the speed at which they were written. I even time my commutes home, trying to find a little extra edge in how the lights are sequenced or figuring out if there is a lane that consistently moves faster.
Knowing that about me, it's hard to adequately explain how it makes me feel when Elliot is cautiously pulling himself up into the car, standing on the floor to look around, slowly climbing onto the seat while stopping to adjust the rear air control knobs (because he thinks they actually do something) and then, if I am lucky, finally coming to rest in his seat, where he insists on buckling his own belts and slaps at my hand if I try to help.
I've found myself constantly getting frustrated with him, and that makes me feel terrible. I should be happy that he has reached a point in his development where he wants to do things, and I should be more than happy to let him learn as he goes.
There are a lot of very clichéd things written about "living in the moment," and there is no way I am about to quote any of those. Instead I will say that as my son learns more and more about being independent and how the world works around him, I am going to make the effort to let it happen without blowing a whistle and penalizing him five yards for delay of game.
Jordan Echols is a Communication and Image Zone Manager with Texas Health Resources and Dad to opinionated 2-and-a-half-year-old Elliot.

Our Mission
Reitz Memorial High School is one of two Catholic high schools in the city of Evansville. The vision statement which follows was adopted by the Reitz Memorial School Board in 2011.
Vision Statement
Providing an environment where God inspires, we educate, students thrive
Mission Statement
Reitz Memorial High School is a Christ-centered Catholic community which educates all students to their highest potential by developing religious values, providing excellence in education, and fostering a commitment to service.
Quality Education
Reitz Memorial High School has a strong tradition of educational excellence. Our school is fully accredited by the Indiana Department of Education and AdvancED Accreditation and School Improvement. In May of 2002, Memorial High School was one of 172 schools in the country and seven in the state of Indiana to be named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. Our strong academic program includes the following: accelerated courses in English, mathematics, science and social studies; a bridge program with the University of Evansville which allows students to receive college credits for a number of courses; Advanced Placement classes in science, math, world language, social studies and English; computer literacy emphasized in all areas of the curriculum; two four-year foreign language programs (German and Spanish); a range of business-oriented courses; academic and career counseling at all grade levels; and trade and industry courses offered through a shared-time program with the local public school system.
Commitment to Service
Christianity is not merely an intellectual activity - it is a way of life. One of the most important aspects of being a Christian is contributing positively to the lives of others. With this in mind, Memorial has developed a four-year service program which challenges our students to reach beyond themselves and to touch the lives of others. Because of the importance of service in the teachings of Jesus Christ and because of its educational value, we require that students provide service to others in order to graduate with our diploma. The service is directed toward the Church, the community, and the school.
Development of Religious Values
While providing an exceptional educational opportunity, Reitz Memorial High School makes a
consistent effort to create a Christian community where young people are valued and cherished. Our students can both experience and openly express their Christian faith. Students are required to take one full year of theology (religion) class during each of their four years of high school. In these classes, students experience religious activities in order to enhance their spiritual lives. Among these activities are annual Days of Retreat for each class, weekly Masses for those interested, various prayer services, and required service opportunities. Memorial is very fortunate to have a priest who serves as chaplain and is also available to provide pastoral counseling.

So we have an SZ Titanium. We love it, it's a great car with plenty of practical features. Probably the only things I'm left wanting for is auto up windows and keyless entry. Not being one to sit around and complain about something that doesn't exist, I thought I'd turn my mind to seeing if and how it is possible to incorporate keyless entry into the SZ.
I know that the SZ brought a new ECU with it - was this a corporate ECU? I wonder if the BEM is the same as the old ones or whether this was new as well. Given the substantially greater number of corporate Ford parts in the SZ, I was hoping that it would be the same as some of the US Fords which have keyless entry.
I noticed US Fords that have keyless entry have a similar key to ours. For example the new Fusion:
and the Edge/Explorer/Flex/Taurus:
So is it possible or not? Does the SZ BEM have the outputs to allow keyless entry? I'd imagine there is a wireless/antenna output for the current iteration of "keyless" entry in the car somewhere, so the way I see it is it will depend on whether the car's systems support the function (but the function is obviously disabled)

I'd meant to review a film called Smiley Face for today, starring Ana Faris and John Krasinksi, but I couldn't make my way through the goddamn thing. It was unspeakably pointless — a film about a slacker chick who wakes and bakes with her psychotic roommate's marijuana cupcakes and then spends the rest of the day trying to bake replacements while stoned. And, with apologies to our tokers out there in Pajiba-land, there is absolutely nothing more insufferable than experiencing someone else's pothead ramblings. At least, not sober and a decade out of college. Smiley Face was like a bad (really bad) Linklater flick crossed with a Jim Varney movie — think dumbed-down version of Dude! Where's My Car without the blasé charm of Ashton Kutcher (*cough*) and you have a pretty decent idea. How Greg Araki went from Mysterious Skin to Smiley Face is beyond my levels of cognition, though both Faris and Krasinki should be thankful that the film only opens on one screen this weekend and will likely be seen by no one. Indeed, a few minutes after Krasinki's sci-fi nerd character jerks off in the shower while fantasizing about Faris' ditzy-stoner, I decided to find something else to fill this space today.
It's a measure of just how bad Smiley Face was that I stooped to reviewing an episode of "Desperate Housewives" in its stead. Like a lot of folks, I gave up on "Housewives" about four episodes into season two and never had a single regret, in large part because season one wasn't that great to begin with — like "American Idol," I only suffered through it because 1) I write about pop-culture and it's good to have some useless Marc Cherry knowledge, and mostly 2) so that I could keep apprised of plotlines and characters that I'd no doubt have to discuss with fictional people in coffee shops who'd look up from their Proust and inevitably spark up a conversation about Susan's relationship with Mike Delfino. I've come to realize, however, that these fictional people will never exist, and, besides if they did, I'm not sure I'd want to have a lengthy conversation with someone who approaches a stranger in a coffee shop and wants to talk about motherfucking "Desperate Housewives." Plus, Proust in a coffee shop? That's so cliché.
That said, I keep hearing that season four has seen a return to form and, out of my own sense of morbid curiosity and to sate the curiosity of our likeminded readers who'd like to know but aren't inclined enough to actually suffer through an episode first, I thought I'd peek in on the show and see if it's actually rebounded from absolutely dreadful to its original completely uninteresting state. Besides, I understand that Nathon Fillion is on this season — he's gotta add something to the show, right? So, I picked the most recently aired episode to check up on, keeping in mind that the only thing I know about "Housewives" since Alfred Woodard moved into their suburban development is what I learned from Letterman, namely that Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) hanged herself at the end of last season (though, I take it she miraculously survived, since she's still on the show).
From the "previously on" segment, there are a few interesting developments, and we get a pretty good idea of where the show stands now. First, Dana Delaney is in the cast, as is John Slattery, who I've got a bit of a man-crush on. In fact, it appears that Slattery's character, Victor, is some sort of tycoon married to Gabrielle (Eva Longoria), though it looks like Edie is trying to railroad that relationship by showing Victor pictures taken of Gabrielle and Carlos (Richard Chavira) swapping spit. Also, Danielle (Joy Lauren), who is Bree's (Marcia Cross) daughter, had a goddamn baby, and I think that Nathan Fillion delivered it while dressed as Frankenstein(?) Meanwhile, Lynette (Felicity Huffman) appears to be recovering from cancer, and Mike Delfino is dabbling in pills. And the woman who committed suicide on the pilot episode is still narrating. Ugh.
Wow. And in only 30 seconds, I'm reminded once again why I didn't give a shit about this show.
But, I'm committed to following this through, so here goes.It's still the old Marc Cherry soap formula: Annoying tinkles of music that punctuate every scene like the slap across the face with a used condom; frequent ohmygod realizations; insufferable, themed narration; typical soap-opera secrets and closet skeletons; ridiculous misunderstandings; manufactured, tacked-on poignancy; and weepy histrionics. It's like I never stopped watching. In other words, "Desperate Housewives" still blows.
And though I haven't watched it in over three years, none of the characters have actually changed. Gabby is still cheating on her husband, though now it's a different husband; only the paramour has changed — here's it's her ex, Carlos. Edie is still vindictive, though her target has changed from Susan to Gabby (I'm assuming that sometime during the last three seasons, Carlos and Edie were an item). Carlos is now poor, which seems to be the reason that Gabby isn't interested in him except for sex. Also, she's still as "zany" as ever; in fact, during this episode, she gets so zany with a boat oar, she knocks her husband overboard and leaves him for dead.
Elsewhere, Bree is now married to Orson Hodges (Kyle MacLachlin), and apparently they're passing off Danielle's newborn as their own, which means that Bree — after countless public embarrassments — still cares little about anything else but appearances, which I'm assuming is why she's passing her daughter's newborn off as her own. Moreover, in this episode, she's so concerned with the appearance of her baby's penis that, over her husband's objections, she sneaks him off to a bris and has him snipped because, well, foreskin is apparently unsightly. Don't tell Penn and Teller.
Meanwhile, Lynette — who is officially cured of cancer — is still contending with ridiculous family issues, only now instead of trying to raise hellions while dealing with her resentful stay-at-home mom status, she's stuck at home again, with cancer, and her sisters (one of which is played by Sarah Paulson —oh, Sarah), have abandoned their mother in Lynette's care.
Elsewhere, Susan has finally married Mike Delfino; in fact, she's pregnant, but the show's forces keep driving them apart. In this episode, it turns out that Mike is a prescription pill junkie who has acquired the addiction to combat suburban tedium, failing to recognize just how suburban tedious prescription drug-addictions are.
The show's newest member, played by Dana Delaney, is one of those sinister, single moms (the show's evil apparently resides in single parents — Alfre Woodward, Mark Moses, and now Delaney). She's a controlling mom who has an abusive ex-husband and a secret she doesn't want her daughter to know about, which prompts this bit of melodramatic wooshah:
Daughter: For years, you've told me that my father was too evil to talk about. And now I find out you discussed him at a neighborhood game night!
Mom: Regardless, I'm still your mother. While you're under my roof, you'll obey my rules.
So, yes: Essentially, nothing has changed. Partners and living arrangements have shifted, and additional offspring have been brought into the picture, but the characters haven't matured a bit, the plotlines are still as absurd as ever, the writing is about as subtle as murder, and "Desperate Housewives" is about as entertaining as a peristomal hernia. So, if you've heard a lot of great buzz about the new season, dismiss it. It's still the same terrible show that it always was — it has zero basis in reality and there isn't a single identifiable character or plotline on the show. Even as a soccer-mom fantasy version of life, it's no damn good, either. I don't know a lot of suburban mothers, but I doubt there are many who are as awful as these women.
And, damnit, Nathan Fillion wasn't even on this episode.

Why large format tiles may be just what you need
Many of our customers tell us that choosing tiles is difficult. Not only do we stock tiles in a huge range of colours, finishes and patterns, we also stock them in a large variety of sizes. So once you've settled on a colour scheme for your new bathroom, kitchen or hallway and have decided on a tile you like, the next question rears its head: what size tile should you choose?

Information about the purchase of film cameras are some of the most common requests I get through my blog and Twitter account. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but will cover some of the bodies I've either shot or researched heavily in the past. The prices I indicate below are ballpark and for the most part, body only unless indicated otherwise. Also, this list is only dealing with used film bodies - as I feel that's where there's the most bang for the buck.
NOTE: This will be getting re-vamped summer 2017 with an updated list.
Starving Artist Film (35mm)
If you are looking at a super-affordable way to break into film photography, you can either go the free route or pretty damned close to that, these budget beauties:
- Olympus OM-1 (SLR) - $50 - uses Olympus OM-Mount
- Zorki 4 (rangefinder) - $35 - uses 39LTM lenses
- Minolta SRT-102 (SLR) - $25 - uses Minolta MD/MC lenses
- Zenit-E (SLR) - $15 - uses M42 screw mount lenses
Budget 35mm Film Cameras
If you're looking to jump into film photography without breaking the bank, here are a handful of used cameras that can be had in the $100+ range:
- Rollei 35 (mini) $100-$200
- Nikon F3 (SLR) $100-$200 - uses just about any Nikkor lens ever made
- Canon AE1 (SLR) $100-$200 - uses FD lenses.
- Pentax K1000 (SLR) $100-$300 - Pentax K-mount
Recommended 35mm Film Cameras
Willing to spend a little more on a set-up, these are my thoughts on excellent 35mm film cameras:
- Leica M2 / M3 (rangefinder) $700 and up
- Carl Zeiss Ikon (rangefinder) $800 and up
- Nikon SP (rangefinder) $900 range - uses Nikon S-bayonet lenses
Budget Medium Format (120) Film Cameras
If you want to break into medium format, these bodies can get you going:
- Mamiya 645 (SLR) - $100 range body only - $200-$400 for kit
- Mamiya C330 (TLR) - $200-$300 range
- Pentax 645 - (SLR) $100 range body only - $200-$400 for kit
- Fuji GW690 (rangefinder) - $200-$300 complete
Recommended Medium Format (120) Film Cameras
Here are my coveted medium format film cameras for you to ponder:
- Hasselblad 500c/cm (SLR) - $300 range for body - $1000+ range for kit
- Rolleiflex 2.8 (TLR) - $1200-$3500 complete
- Plaubel Makina 67/670/W67 (my new rangefinder love) - $1200-$2200
- Mamiya 7 (rangefinder) - $1000-$2000 range
- Contax 645 (SLR) - $1500 range for body - $3000 range for kit
Once you make your way through this and choose your film weapon of choice, I suggest pairing it up with a good nifty 50mm (35mm format) or 80mm (120 format) lens and a kicking light-meter. Since what you're buying off this list is most likely old, it may or may not have a light-meter that may or may not function properly. Also, wouldn't hurt to invest in a good CLA.
Feel free to drop me a line to your suggestions add to the list.

Pandit's hunger strike enters third day; Guj min pays visit
Last Updated: Friday, February 01, 2013, 19:08

Tags: Gujarat, Vinod Pandit, Babu Bokhiria
Ahmedabad: Gujarat Agriculture Minister Babu Bokhiria on Friday met Vinod Pandit, the chairman of All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC), whose indefinite hunger strike entered third day today in Porbandar.
Pandit had launched his fast on January 30 to press for six demands of Kashmiri Hindus, including that of having a dialogue with Pakistan for facilitating visit to Shardha Peeth temple in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The APMCC chairman started the strike after the Jammu and Kashmir government as well as the Centre reportedly failed to meet their six-point charter of demands.
"We are very grateful to the minister as he paid a visit and enquired about the health of Vinod Pandit," APMCC national spokesperson King Bharati told reporters.
"The minister gave us a patient hearing and assured us that he will forward our memorandum of demands to the President, Prime Minister, J&K Chief Minister, Governor as well as Gujarat Chief Minister. He extended state government's full support to our genuine cause," Bharati said.
Many BJP activists have pledged their support to Kashmiri Hindus and APMCC's demands, he added.
"A team of doctors conducted a medical check-up and took blood samples of Pandit. Even though he has lost 2 kgs weight since he began his hunger strike and has become a little weak, he is fine," Bharati said.
APMCC Kashmir in-charge Sandeep Bhat expressed hope that their demands would be soon fulfilled.
The J&K government must come out with a time-frame to resolve the issue immediately, he demanded and accused the government of ignoring the sentiments of Kashmiri Hindus, resulting in disappointment among the community.
Establishment of Shardha Peeth University in J&K; probe into the multi-crore temple/shrines land encroachment in Kashmir, passage of the pending Kashmir Temples and Shrines Bill in J&K Legislative Assembly; one time compensation for over-aged migrant Kashmiri Hindu youth and special employment package for non-migrant Hindus of Kashmir Valley are some of their other demands.

A. Tantra is often associated with sacred sex. The ancient Sanskrit word tantra literally means "warp and woof" or "continuation" and refers to non-duality, interwovenness, or oneness through the union of opposites.
Tantra is an ancient, esoteric Indian spiritual tradition, common to both Hinduism and Buddhism, dating back to before the time of Christ--and even the Buddha, who lived in the sixth century B.C.E. Buddha is said to have transmitted Tantric teachings to his disciples. Both Hindu and Buddhist Tantric traditions emphasize the cultivation of enlightened consciousness, divine oneness, and the burning off of blockages and defilements that cover and inhibit the inner radiance of our own original nature or innate state of perfection. Classic Tantric Buddhist texts, such as an ancient, anonymous manual called "The Union of the Sun and Moon," reveal how to utilize the right and left psychic energy channels (nadis)--which, in yogic physiology, embody the masculine (solar) and feminine (lunar) energies within our own bodies. As a result, we can become more integrated, awaken our inner energy, and thus experience wholeness.
|Most Tantric practices involve no sex, and Tantric yoga is best practiced under the guidance of an experienced and qualified teacher.
In Tibetan Buddhism, or Vajrayana, the term refers to various kinds of texts (medical, astrological Tantras, etc.) and more generally to the systems of meditation of our tradition. There are four classes of these esoteric texts and treatises, and they form the heart of Tibetan Buddhism. Thus Vajrayana Buddhism is also known in Tibetan as Tantrayana, or the Tantric vehicle to enlightenment.
Today the term Tantra is sometimes misunderstood or even misused in the West. Made out to be synonymous with eroticism and licentiousness, there are myriad books and websites claiming to help students harness the Tantric teachings as a means to great sex and financial success. There are even commercial relationship workshops promising better sex through sensual Tantric training. But most Tantric practices involve no sex, and Tantric yoga is best practiced under the guidance of an experienced and qualified teacher.
Of course, sexuality is a healthy part of life, and the sexual drive is one of the most powerful energies in us. Although Western religions seem to have lost touch with the wisdom of the body and the sacred dimension of sexual energy, Tantric adepts through millennia have worked to find ways in which to integrate that energy into spiritual practice, and turn this powerful force into rocket-fuel-like propellant on the path of spiritual ecstasy and transcendence. In ancient India, this became the practice known as sacred sex, practiced with a certain amount of ritual and using specific ritual sexual practices, including maithuna--coupling with minimal movement, and holding of or even abstaining from orgasm in order to increase self-control and to purify desire.
This practice--given the right intention, training, guidance, concentration, and conditions--can sublimate and transmute sexual drive into higher, more spiritual aspirations. Through practices known as seminal retention, "melting and blazing," the "all-consuming fire of total embrace," "mystic heat," and so forth, advanced practitioners have been able to redirect the release of energy upward through the body, opening all the chakras in continuous waves of full-body, orgasm-like bliss and consciousness. Quite a contrast--in purpose and experience--to the more typical, brief, downward-releasing sexual climax, usually followed by dullness and sleep.
This transformation of energy is Tantra's capacity for developing samadhi (concentrative absorption), expanding consciousness, and opening into meditation. More than 1,000 years ago, the yogis of Bengal and Orissa in India developed this spiritual art, and a few still practice it in an underground fashion, as do the Tantric yogis and lamas of Tibetan Buddhism, where it still continues in the fullest form today.
Many Tantric practices, as I mentioned, do not involve a literal union of two people, though they are based in the symbolic synthesis of male and female, solar and lunar, compassion and wisdom. One such fundamental aspect of Tantric practice is Tantric medicine, an ancient methodology for healing both body and soul. Working with the so-called "subtle" body, which includes the various "sheaths" or dimensions of our being from corporeality on up, Tantric medicine employs diet, fasting, breath and energy practices, initiations, visualizations, mantras, mudras (ritual gestures), and yoga, along with a knowledge of the body's chakras and subtle energy (prana) channels to remove blockages and correct damage. By purifying the body along with the energy, the mind, and the spirit, this process can strengthen the immune system and prevent disease and mental imbalance and instability, and promote longevity, vitality, and spiritual and emotional development.

Why aren't there many Oracle Decks for those of us who love Dark Fantasy or Weird Creatures?
If you did a search for Oracle Decks, a lot of what you find are cute animals, angels, or colorful portraits. Now, don't get me wrong. Those decks are beautiful... but where are the decks for the dark fantasy lover? Not just decks that contains skulls. Decks that contain different art with meaning.
Now, there are some people who are actually using the ShadowMyths decks as an Oracle Deck. Since I don't tell you exactly what's going on, it leaves their meaning up to your interpretation. However, this wasn't quite what I wanted.
So, I created an official ShadowMyths Oracle Deck that contains only my drawings and the meanings associated with them. This way, you can ask your question and get a more definitive idea of the answer.
How do you use the ShadowMyths Oracle Deck?
As with any standard Oracle Deck, you just have the question in mind and draw the cards to get your answers. For me, I'm a fan of asking a question about ideas on how to correct a situation. From there, I'll draw three cards to give me an overall idea of what to do. The reason that I pull three cards is because, in life, there really is a variety of answers that you could use to solve your problem. The three cards gives me some option but nothing definitive.
I asked the question: How do I increase my following for my world? The three cards that I drew were the ones above (yes... I actually did draw those cards). So, the answer was support, Inner Power, and Connections. So, my interpretation of the answer is that I need to start building a community around me where I use my talents to help others. That makes sense. If I am more present about helping people, more people will know about me and my work. That means that I'm building a community around them and for them. The more they learn about me, the more that they learn about my world.

Agender, Anger, Asexual, bipolar, Blame, Communication skills, disaster, Downward Spiral, Link, Mental disorder, mental health, mental illness, Mindfulness, Past, personal, Personal Relationships, Possible Triggers, recovery, relationships, Symptoms, The Past, Transexual
I'm going "off topic" today. Really it's not so off considering that this blog is mostly about my experiences. And this is an experience I have had.
One of my past exes told me more than a few years into our relationship and after a brake-up that he (that is what he was identifying himself as at the time so I will use that since that is what I thought he was,) actually was transgender and considered himself a she.
What would you do if a best friend or a lover or a sibling who you'd considered a particular sex all along told you that all along they considered themselves the opposite of that sex? (I know, this is about Agender people, people who don't consider any gender identification but this post reminded me of GA.)
I didn't handle it well. In my typical fashion I held my breath, listened and waited to see if the tide would change. Some people I know I adopt this way of dealing with communication with them so that they can change their minds or add information they need to specify requests. I didn't agree nor did I disagree. It wasn't for me to tell him/her who she was. I didn't know what to think. I had approached them to see if we could get back together. I felt I really loved them even with all the serious mental illness symptoms they exhibited and the serious difficulties of keeping a difficult relationship alive. I was not perfect either and had loads of baggage and my own symptoms to contend with so I am not laying the blame at their feet.
At first they claimed to not want to get together in a serious relationship with me again much to my chagrin. I felt foolish and was ready to leave. She felt we could be good friends since I knew her as her old self. I'm ashamed to admit that I wanted to stay in any kind of relationship with this person. Not ashamed because they were transexual, ashamed because I must have been desperate to want to be in a relationship with a person who 1. wasn't honest with me in the first place and 2. wasn't who I thought they were in the first place. I was very confused and thought that it would settle itself out sooner or later. It did. But not until some time, abuse and damage happened.
I'm not unrealistic, I won't tell you I was without flaw in all that happened. I will tell you that looking at the surgery that happens to someone who is interested in changing their genitals from male to female is awful. Finding out that the hormones a male takes to help his body change from male to female was depressing for me to experience with my ex as we still attempted to have sex. Intercourse became more and more difficult. For me I was seeing a person die. My ex tried to see it as a person being born but she didn't understand that I definitely didn't like the person she was becoming. She acted like a Junior High Schooler, tittering and experimenting with clothes and make-up and flirting and acting the girl (yes females can "act the girl" too, I have friends that put on that kind of a show when they wanted a male to do something for them; I personally find it obnoxious.) She was catty and sensitive when people gawked at her. I understand that she wanted to fit in and I didn't have a problem with that. I did have a problem with the over acting and tried to tell her that over doing it brought more attention to her and encouraged people to gawk. And like a youngster she was angry at me for giving advice she'd asked for. She wanted blue eyeshadow and purple lipstick. I told her about using colors that were more natural and matched the tone of her skin. This ended up in an abusive screaming dressing-down in the middle of the mall about how I was just trying to make her look dull and unattractive because she was better looking than me. I walked away.
I think I saw her one last time after this. I had told myself that the online hormones she was using were making her unstable. It wasn't her fault and she would see that too. We would hug and make up and she'd calm down a bit. And that didn't happen. We'd made a time for me to meet her at her house. She was in the back yard digging in her garden. I approached her and said "Hi."
She said, "Oh you."
I said nothing, I could tell this was going to be difficult. So I asked if I could help.
She threw a trellis at me and said, "If you must go put this by the garage."
And the red flags came out. Another transexual walked up and said "Hi," to her. She told her she'd be ready soon. The new person looked uncomfortable. I asked GA if I had met her before. GA said, "No, this is my friend XXXX." So I shook her hand and introduced myself. That's when hell broke loose.
GA reamed me a new colon. It was so bad I don't remember what she said other than basically I thought I could butt myself into her life and do what ever I wanted. I left quietly crying and wondering what I did to deserve so acrid a berating. (In my defense I put up with years of abuse at school, home and at babysitting, I've been trained to believe that everything that is wrong is my fault and that if someone is upset I'm responsible. SO IF YOU THINK GIVING ME ADVICE ABOUT HOW I SHOULD STAND UP FOR MYSELF ETC. ETC. ETC. I WILL IGNORE YOU OR JUST TELL YOU NO.) Later on I realized that she is just an abusive @sshole like any of my other exes. No more, no less.
I can't talk anymore about this right now. The Agender thing will have to come later. And it wasn't Agender that I was told it was about it was Asexual.

Yes, it adds to the confusion. I am aware of that and tries to tell that as clearly as possible on my web pages. If you have time and interest you can suggest improvements to this.
The things I have added in my patches are things that I think should go into emacs later. We might prefer slightly different coding but that is of very minor importance to many. I code for the functionality and try to make the code clear and structured.
I use this patches myself and I even doubt I would be using Emacs without some of them.
Of course we have different views of things sometimes, but that does not change my mind unless you can convince me. It is not a big problem for me if we disagree and I try not to act because of that. However I try to make my view clear and offer alternatives based on my view - with all efforts I think are reasonable to minimize the patches.
Solving this in both Emacs and emacsclient is a non-trivial job that should not be undertaken now. I hope you agree that solving it _only_ in emacsclient is a bad idea.
I think we should solve it for emacsclient now because it is more integrated with the w32 UI, but let it be for Emacs until after the release. I see no problems with that.
However I believe also that we should try to solve the problems with bad filenames in both Emacs and Emacsclient now. This should not be to problematic I guess. It is only about testing for certain characters in the names. The main difficulty is perhaps what to do when a file name contains bad characters.

San Jose Civic Auditorium
San Jose, California
December 4, 1963
Two reviews of Streisand's show from local papers:
Popular Singer Wows Audience
by MARTA MORGAN
San Jose Mercury News, Dec. 5, 1963
Barbra Streisand, a 20-year-old Brooklyn girl with small sad eyes and a face that is hard to take seriously, has had a meteoric rise to fame.
Last night she made her first appearance in this area and completely captivated the relatively small but highly enthusiastic audience which braved the cold night air to hear her.
Her only Broadway show to date was last year's "I Can Get It For You Wholesale," she has only two record albums to her credit and her television appearances have been sporadic.
Yet she has become a sensation on the New York night club circuit, ranging from the jazzy basements of Greenwich Village to the elegant bistros of up-town Manhattan.
This no doubt accounts for the intimacy, which is the key to her particular way of projecting a song. When she sings "As Time Goes By" or "Quiet Night" the audience feels as though it is eavesdropping on her most private thoughts. yet she can belt out "Down With Love" and galvanize her listeners into rapt contentment. On the other hand, when she bursts into "When the Sun Comes Out," the sunshine floods her elfin face and it is as though no one had ever sung the trite ditty before, and she can be extremely funny in "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now" or her impish version of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf."
While she does not have the warmth of Ella Fitzgerald, the deadpan humor of Keely Smith or the boppish spice of Sarah Vaughan, she is a highly individual song stylist. She has an off-beat, high voltage personality and an elusive, haunting vocal quality all her own — a curious mixture of adolescent rebelliousness (she even spells her first name in defiance of convention) and bitter-sweet sophistication. You might say her vocal mannerism fluctuates between a kind of choir boy innocence and a Cole Porter leer.
The span from light lyrics to blues is broad, but Miss Streisand's strength lies in her versatility. Her voice is hardly beautiful — some of her tones are rather shrill— but her phrasing is fresh, her diction is irreproachable, her dramatic sense unfailing, and she manages to evoke the proper mood and atmosphere of each lyric she presents.
Between songs, she throws in sly patter—kidding herself and her audience — and she has a snappy, sometimes macabre, sense of fun. Into one of her numbers she injected: "You better not shout, you better not cry, you better no pout, I'm telling you why — Santa Claus is dead." And her ethnic Ethiopian "folk-song" with its droll yet strange humor, fractured the audience.
I suspect that Miss Streisand would be even more effective in a small supper club, rather than a large auditorium, where she would not have to cope with amplification and her mobile facial expressions could be seen.
Barbra Streisand Here Wednesday
It's been barely a year since Barbra Streisand first took a crack at show business, yet in that short span of time she has emerged as one of the hottest singers in show business.
Barbra, who will be appearing in concert at San Jose Civic Auditorium on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m., earned a little over $250 a week a year ago at the Blue Angel night club in New York. Today, Barbra earns more than thirty times that amount for her concerts.
When she performed at the Blue Angel she looked strangely out of place in that ultra-sophisticated waterhole of the upper class, with her sad, piquant face and little-girl hair falling about her shoulders. But when she began to sing, the room instantly became hushed and a star was born. It seemed almost mystical for a voice of such range and expressiveness to emanate from such a young, unprepossessing person. Needless to say, she broke all records at the club.
Since her early days at the Blue Angel, Barbra has appeared in just about every major supper club in the United States including Mr. Kelleys in Chicago, the hungry i in San Francisco, and a few months ago she had a record-breaking engagement at the famed Coconut Grove.
Accompanying Miss Streisand in her concert appearance here will be the Jerry Gray orchestra under the direction of Peter Daniels.
The show is being produced by Irving Grantz.
