A lot of teens these days are taking something called the "purity pledge," wherein they vow not to have sex until they get married. Hey, I'm all for people putting off sex until they're adults and can handle the ramifications. Because even with safe sex, sex comes with responsibilities. It does tend to emotionally bond you to someone -- especially if you're a woman -- and that can mean getting emotionally attached to the wrong person. Once sex enters the equation, a relationship is never the same. But one woman writes about her "purity pledge" that went wrong. It led to an incredibly short starter marriage. Once she realized that she and her new husband had absolutely zero sexual chemistry, she counted down the days until she could get a divorce, which happened six months into their marriage. Here's 5 reasons to get rid of that purity pledge and do the dirty before you say "I do."
Jessica Ciencin Henriquez, who kept her "purity" until her wedding night, writes in Salon:
Our bodies wanted different things from one another, so what we ended up with was a horizontal battle. I would hear married girlfriends talk about the joys of make-up sex and continue to sip my coffee in silence. We would fight, and then have bad sex and then fight some more. Every flaw in our marriage and in him seemed much more miserable when combined with the possibility of faking orgasms until death did we part. There was no relief. Six months into our marriage, the idea of separating seemed more appealing than feigning headaches for the rest of my life.
As Jessica found out, sexual chemistry is something that can really only be ascertained by, well, having sex. Jessica would make out for hours with her husband before their marriage, so she thought that would translate into awesome horizontal mambo. But it didn't.
Sexual identity. I know too many couples where one partner was able to cover up his or her true sexual persuasion because he or she simply didn't have sex with a partner. Not having sex with the opposite sex can also mean you ignore those longings you might have for the same sex, and therefore don't acknowlege them.
Sex itself. Not everyone is great in bed, and most people don't start out very good at all. A lot of good sex is about listening to your partner and being able to respond accordingly. But how do you know if someone is a good listener or responder unless you try it first?
Size. Don't you want to know if your husband is packing a hunting rifle or a tiny little plastic kid's pistol? After all, he knows how big your boobs are. I'm not saying size would be a dealbreaker, but don't you have the right to know what's down there?
Sexual issues. Sexual problems like premature ejaculation, inability to get an erection, or even an allergy to your partner's semen are all possibilities, wouldn't you rather deal with those issues before you're married? This way you know if the person is even going to deal with them.
Let's face it, sex plays a big role in marriage. Just like you should discuss children, religion, and where you both want to live before tying the knot, sex is too big of a part of a relationship to leave to chance.
Do you think it's a good idea to have sex before marriage?

If you don't know how to figure out if you have sexual chemistry with a potential husband without breaking a personal promise to remain a virgin until married, you're doing it wrong.
WTF? DH and I dated for three years, and waited for marriage, with no issues. We were not two naive kids who didn't discuss any of this and we did everything else except for seal the deal. Hell...I could tell we had sexual chemistry just by kissing him. Here's five great reasons to wait:
1. No chance of pregnancy...nada.
2. Avoiding STDs...awesomeness.
3. Focusing on education...you know, so you can afford those potential kids.
4. Having enough self-esteem to tell a partner that you are waiting for marriage...and weeding out the ones who won't wait!
5. And...finding a partner with the same moral values...priceless.
The fact that she thought faking orgasms was acceptable says a lot. DH and I were virgins on our wedding night and of course we had a lot to learn. Things didn't always "work" for both of us, and still occasionally don't. However, it's always good, usually great, and sometimes I-can't-even-move-now great. All it takes is honesty and willingness on each part to put the other first. And practice ;)
Also, benefits of waiting - no STDs, no single parenting, no wondering if he's just after sex, and no worry that he is comparing you, or you him, to other lovers.
I agree with everyone that waiting till your married is not a bad thing. I'm doing it just on the basis of not wanting to worry if I get pregnant or get an STD.

Parmigianino and his Circle. Prints from the Baselitz Collection
For years, the German artist Georg Baselitz has been collecting the products of printmaking in Mannerist-period Europe. A special group of works within his collection, the prints by the painter Francesco Mazzola, known as Il Parmigianino (1503 – 1540), has now undergone in-depth scholarly investigation and is being presented in an exhibition at the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung (State Graphic Collection) in Munich before coming to the Städel Department of Prints and Drawings in the summer of 2008. In the period around 1530, Parmigianino concentrated on etching and the colour woodcut, two relatively new printing techniques whose potentials he explored and expanded by means of experimentation. He was particularly interested in etching as a printmaking medium that would accommodate his drawing style, which was highly developed and is today considered art in its own right. Since for him they held the status of mere experiments, he made only a few prints of each work. They nevertheless came to exert great influence on artists of both his own and later times, in the form of reprints and copies alike. Parmigianino also worked with other printmakers, and an entire circle developed around his oeuvre and was strongly influenced by it.
In addition to works by Parmigianino himself, the exhibition accordingly shows examples by other artists associated with him. The prints from the Baselitz Collection are supplemented by works in the possession of the Städel Museum as well as a small number of loans from elsewhere.

The Magic of Things. Still Life Painting 1500-1800
Dewdrops on dainty petals, light glancing off glass drinking goblets and precious silver dishes, candied sweetmeats in blue-and-white porcelain bowls from China, the delicate fluff of a peach, the pallor of a skull... To this day, still lifes captivate us with their close-up views of objects no longer living but far from lifeless, reproduced with painterly finesse and subtle colouration. However, still life painting was anything but a purely aesthetic matter, even if the present-day viewer tends to perceive it as such. The exhibition "The Magic of Things. Still Life Painting 1500–1800" is designed to convey both aspects – the genre's aesthetic pleasure as well as its contemporary context with regard to meaning and function.
With more than ninety masterworks, the show spreads out a panorama of the still life's development in the Netherlands and Germany from its beginnings in the late fifteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century. To this end, it unites the superb holdings of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt and the Kunstmuseum Basel, enhanced by a number of selected loans from other collections, public and private.

Constellations III
Constellations III offers a survey of the paintings, sculptures, installations, and works on paper from the second half of the twentieth century in the collection of the Städel Museum.
While many museums with outstanding collections of old master paintings limit their collecting activity to those eras, the Städel has always seen it as its task to integrate current, contemporary trends into its collection as well. From its founding in the early nineteenth century to the present, this has remained an important concern of the institution.
The Städel consequently possesses a series of significant works of art from the second half of the twentieth century and is expanding this area of the collection continuously through acquisitions, commissioned works, and donations. Constellations III is a continuation of the periodically changing presentation of the collection of works from the second half of the twentieth century and from the twenty-first century that began with Constellations I in May 2006.

Masterpieces of the Department of Prints and DrawingsDrawings, Watercolours and Collages
Due to the high artistic quality of its holdings – which encompass some 25,000 drawings and 75,000 prints dating from the late Middle Ages to the present – the Städel Museum's Department of Prints and Drawings is among the most prominent graphic art collections in Germany. It was founded in the eighteenth century by Johann Friedrich Städel (1728–1816) and expanded and further developed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by Johann David Passavant (1787–1861), Georg Swarzenski (1876– 1957) and others.
For conservational reasons, works on paper cannot be displayed on a permanent basis like paintings, but only placed at visitors' disposal for viewing in the department's Study Hall. Comprising eighty superb drawings, the exhibition of masterpieces is now providing an exemplary overview of the collection's diversity and quality.
The selected works span a period of nearly six hundred years: the oldest date from the early fifteenth century; the most recent were executed in the late twentieth. Nearly all of art history's most renowned draughtsmen are represented, for example Dürer, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Watteau, Fragonard, Tiepolo, Cornelius, Delacroix, Daumier, Cézanne, van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Kirchner, Beckmann, Klee and Pollock.

A flight departing from Pittsburgh International Airport was delayed on Wednesday after thousands of honey bees landed on the aircraft.
Crew members were preparing for take off when the discovery was made.
The bees swooped down on one of the airplane's wings -- and decided to stay there.
Honey bees are a protected species, so a master beekeeper had to be called in to remove the would-be hitchhikers.
A swarm occurs when a queen leaves her colony with a portion of her worker bees in search of a new home.
She resides in the centre of her swarm, which can contain as many as 30,000 bees.
While a swarm appears intimidating, honey bees are docile creatures that will only attack when provoked.
It took about 20 minutes to coax the unwanted guests off the airplane and send the flight on its way.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - It seems parking spots aren't immune from the recent surge in San Francisco real estate prices. The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Thursday that a spot in the city's trendy South Beach neighborhood sold last week for $82,000. The 8- by 12-foot parking space is in an enclosed garage in a condominium building. While it may seem like a lot of money, real estate agents say parking could be a good investment. It can add as much as $100,000 to the purchase price of a property, or be rented out at rates of $400 to $450 a month - the going rate in South Beach.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

UFC on Fuel TV 6: Takanori Gomi begins a return to form
Many MMA fans were salivating when they heard that Takanori Gomi was coming to the octagon. Six fights into his tenure, and most of those same fans are looking less optimistic than they were before. At three wins and three losses apiece, many have written off Gomi as just another promising fighter playing gatekeeper at 155 pounds. All of his losses (Kenny Florian, Clay Guida, Nate Diaz) have been by submission, and these losses were, for the most part, very one-sided. See Gomi's fight with Clay Guida if you need any further evidence. But within each of his UFC fights, there are a few striking stanzas that give off the impression that the "Fireball Kid" of old is coming back. But Gomi's recent decision victory over Mac Danzig was the best Gomi that the UFC has seen yet.
Upon re-examining the fight, Gomi showed a lot more patience and faith in his boxing, which breeds some optimism knowing that Gomi continues to grow as a boxer, and yet, we also saw Gomi work an offensive ground game. Gomi is not known at all for having any semblance of ground game, while Danzig is known to be a competent grappler. And while his fledgling takedown skills do need work, Gomi attempting a little reinvention shows that he wants to be in the UFC, and that he does not want this run to go down as just a disappointing footnote in his career.
"The Fireball Kid" is now looking at his first win streak in the UFC. It may only be two wins, but this also means that we may be seeing some tougher competition for Gomi, and now, all of the hardcore MMA pundits who were so hungry to see where Gomi stands amongst the UFC Lightweight Division may finally get some questions answered.

What Does Tenants Political Action Committee Do?
Tenants PAC supports candidates for political office in New York who are strong supporters of tenants' rights. Tenants PAC is the only organization in New York State devoted to advancing the tenant cause through election activity.
Tenants PAC supports candidates with financial contributions, and by recruiting tenants to volunteer their time to help with the essential grunt work of election campaigns: phone banking, door knocking, visibility efforts, and Get Out The Vote activities on Election Day.
Tenants PAC raises funds from tenants, progressive labor unions and other supporters of tenants' rights and affordable housing. We recruit tenants as volunteers in targeted elections. We are an all-volunteer organization, so all contributions are used only for our modest costs of operation and to support our targeted candidates.
While tenants will never be able to match the landlords' money, our financial contributions to pro-tenant candidates can make a big difference. And tenants can play a big role in elections by volunteering to knock on doors and to staff phone banks.
Tenants PAC focuses on the New York State Legislature, which has ultimate power over all state and local rent protection laws. While we have succeeded in electing many pro-tenant candidates to the State Senate and State Assembly, and in defeating several pro-landlord incumbents, the power of real estate money remains a strong and corrupting influence in our state government. Please join our efforts by donating money, time and energy to the struggle for tenants' rights.

Mud pits, electric wires, climbing walls and a long-distance run — for most participants, outdoor obstacle races offer a chance to overcome physical challenges and bond with friends, often in a rowdy atmosphere.
But even as these adrenaline-fueled races have exploded in popularity in a recent years, creating an industry with tens of millions of dollars in revenue, some racers have paid a high price.
The April drowning of an Ellicott City man at a Tough Mudder series race in West Virginia was at least the fourth death involving participants at such events since 2011. And across the nation, participants have been paralyzed, suffered hypothermia and electric shocks, or come away with other serious injuries.
In 2011, for example, two men died after a Warrior Dash event in the Kansas City area; it was canceled after many participants were treated for heat-related illnesses, according to a report in the Kansas City Star. Last year, a Dallas man drowned while swimming across a river in the Original Mud Run in Fort Worth; a lawsuit is pending in that incident.
Other lawsuits have been filed by racers as well. Court documents allege that in recent years a Virginia man was paralyzed after diving into a muddy pool at a race in Richmond, a Michigan man was paralyzed after diving into a mud pit at a Warrior Dash near Detroit and a trio of women smashed their ankles sliding down a tarp into a ravine at a race in Washington state.
While deaths and life-threatening injuries are rare among the hundreds of thousands of participants, other problems have occurred more frequently. In a Tough Mudder race in Wisconsin last July, many participants ended up at a hospital, with broken bones, dislocations and heat-related illnesses, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. And at the West Virginia race where Avishek Sengupta of Ellicott City drowned — on an obstacle called Walk the Plank, a 15-foot drop into cold, muddy water — 19 other people were treated at a hospital for injuries ranging from heart attacks to electric shock to hypothermia.
Mario Vittone, a former rescue swimmer with the U.S. Coast Guard and an expert on drowning, says the death of Sengupta, 28, is a warning to the burgeoning industry — and participants. "I get where it's fun. But I think there's this illusion, that it's controlled and thousands of people do it, so it must be safe," he said.
Noting that some obstacles are inspired by military training regimens, he added, "These aren't as hard as in the real military, but the risk is the same. [Organizers are] forgetting how little room for error there is."
There has been no push for government to regulate the events, but some experts say the deaths and injuries highlight problems in the fast-growing industry. The main issue is the lack of a governing body and accepted best practices for designing, building and operating the courses, said Todd Seidler, a University of New Mexico sports administration professor who teaches and researches risk management.
"Basically, each group putting one of these together is developing their own obstacles and maybe copying from other similar races. Also, many of them seem to be out-doing each other," Seidler said.
Organizers of the most popular obstacle course series — Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash and Spartan Race — defend the events and say safety is a priority.
Civil lawsuits against Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash and organizers of similar local events have been contested by the organizers.
Kendra Alley, a spokeswoman for Warrior Dash's parent company, Red Frog Events, said in a statement: "We've taken several steps to ensure that everyone on the Battleground stays safe while having fun. The race Director works with local officials for several months to determine the necessary on-site safety precautions and procedures."
Alley declined to comment on specific cases, including the Kansas City-area deaths, saying the company never discloses medical information about participants.
Tough Mudder spokeswoman Ashley Pinakiewicz said the company's safety precautions were reviewed after Sengupta's death — which authorities have ruled an accidental drowning — and were determined to be satisfactory. "We're constantly looking at all of our procedures," she said.
She declined to comment on how often participants were hospitalized after Tough Mudder events, but said bumps and bruises were common, as with any outdoor event. "There's an inherent risk in any of our events and everything is geared toward minimizing risk, as possible," she said, adding, "The entire company is deeply saddened by the accident."
Appeal of danger
Getting zapped with electricity and jumping over fire might not sound appealing to everyone, but more than 1 million people are expected to enter obstacle course events in the U.S. this year. With some entry fees topping $100, that will generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue for race organizers.
The races come in many forms, with distances from a few miles to a dozen miles or more. Warrior Dash, a 3.1-mile run, promises participants will "bound over fire, trudge through mud and scale over 12 obstacles." Tough Mudder bills itself as "probably the toughest event on the planet."
Danger is a key element of the marketing pitch. Youmaydie.com is the Internet address for the Spartan Death Race, the most grueling competition in the Spartan Race series. Here's how it is described on the company's website: "Please only consider this adventure style race if you have lived a full life to date. We highly suggest you come to a Death Race Camp before attempting this race. Death sounds cool until you're dead."

Andrew Jackson Jazz Ensemble Latest Noontime Performer
Posted by Ryan Chase on 10/14 at 02:48 PM
The noontime sun sprawled across the room in exaggerated rectangles, and Andrew Jackson was seated behind his drum kit with sticks in hand. Last Friday at the HUB, the Andrew Jackson Jazz Ensemble introduced the audience to a mix of hip-hop and jazz as part of the weekly SPA Noontime Series.
At its core, the Andrew Jackson Ensemble is a faithful throwback to European jazz, a style predicated on the sonic relationship between guitar and saxophone. However, Friday's show was somewhat of a departure from previous efforts where outside talents take the helm several times, including Andrew Jackson's son, Drew Jackson.
Andrew Jackson, a large, burly man, started off the show by shouting into the crackling microphone, "We Are…" Half the audience responded, "…Penn State!"
This exchange served as an appropriate microcosm of the show as a whole. The enthusiasm and vigor embodied by the band, most notably Mr. Jackson himself, vastly outweighed that of the audience. There were one or two exceptions. For example, one elderly man, wearing a light blue, long sleeve shirt, was bopping his shoulders throughout the event. However, the meager response was not indicative of the overall turnout which, in spite of people shuffling in and out, retained a consistent crowed around 56 people.
Despite the relative anemic audience response, the band still delivered a solid outing touting a slew of popular covers such as "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers. They also did some jams. Drew Jackson opened by rapping over his father's beat on the drums. It signified the peak of audience participation, drawing loud cheers when Drew's name was announced.
While Drew's performance elicited the most cheers, it was, musically speaking, a tawdry example of nepotism. He had the charisma, pumping up the few people who were willing to be pumped up. However, he had no perceivable talent. On stage, or up front (since there was no stage, per say) he looked lost while forgoing actual, coherent words for opaque mumbling. I suppose if it works for Lil' Wayne, why not him, right? Except Lil' Wayne has gold teeth, which makes all the difference.
Following Drew Jackson, Andrew called a woman up from the audience, someone they claimed they had played with before, to sing "Ain't No Sunshine." This number was better than the previous one, though she missed a few notes, and it was ultimately forgettable. Afterward, she returned to her seat and the band jammed.
The jams were the best parts of the show. The musicians were exemplary despite a sound mix that wasn't the best. Their line-up featured six people on instruments such as drums, electric guitar, bass guitar, saxophone, keyboard, and piano. The saxophone player, Tim Powell, stood out the most showcasing a divine mastery of his instrument. The rest of the band – outside of solos – tended to vanish beneath the overpowering noise of the drums, played by Andrew Jackson. The electric guitar was especially quiet, even during the solos.
It is a minor complaint, however, as the overall sound was pleasant enough, easily overriding whatever petty grievances arose. Stumbling at first (i.e. Drew Jackson and the vocalist deterring from the strength of the band) the show picked up once its focus shifted towards the musicianship of the band. The final thirty minutes was a delightful display of good, old-fashioned jazz.
Lasting only an hour, what is lunch for many, the show provided an excellent alternative for those looking to fill their time or seeking formidable outlets of quality music on campus.
The next SPA Noontime Series show, on October 15th, features New York-based jazz/pop guitarist Caleb Hawley.

We're building a bigger, better airlinecolors.com and we're adding new postcards all the time. Enter your search below and let's get started! Quick Search: Country | Aircraft
Volume 1 Issue 3 | Summer 2014 of AirlineColors Quarterly is now available for download. In this issue we'll explore factory fresh DC-9s in a a multi-part series. Our next issue will be out in the Fall of 2014 with a continued focus on factory-fresh DC-9s - Part II. Click the magazine cover to the left to open. Enjoy!
We have discontinued our catalog sales, however we do list items on eBay from time to time. Check our eBay listings here.
Airlinecolors.com is an airline postcard enthusiasts' site. The postcards displayed here are not for sale or trade.
We are very humbled to have appeared in the January 2014 issue of the esteemed publication Airways Magazine. A most sincere 'Thank You' from the AirlineColors Team.
Four and a half decades ago, commercial air travel changed forever with the first flight of the Boeing 747 'Super Jumbo Jet' in 1969. Today, some 45 years later, the 747 is still operated in the hundreds worldwide and remains in active production with the latest variant; the 747-8. We have featured some of our favorite 747-100/200 postcards in the header slideshow. And you can browse nearly 700 747 postcards in our database here.
Why collect airline postcards? The best way to answer that question is with a question. Why collect stamps? or coins? or baseball cards? It's a passion only airliner enthusiasts truly understand. For the airline collector there is an endless source of materials to choose from to kick start any collection. Your hosts admit to collecting everything from timetables to safety cards. But through nearly 30 years of collecting, post cards have remained the backbone.
Today, tens of thousands of post cards reside in the airlinecolors.com archives. We want to share as many as possible with you. We make no apologies to the purists (the ones who collect only airline issues), because we hope you'll understand we seek a broader selection to draw from. There are countless publishers of airline post cards. In many cases these cards are the only ones to depict airlines, aircraft, liveries, and scenes skipped by the marketing folks at larger carriers. Some airlines can not financially support producing post cards. We hope to merge both areas of collecting here at airlinecolors.com so that you, the collector, will have a fuller reference to page through.
As of August 2014 our online gallery contains 11,300+ postcards covering 2,400+ unique airline entries.
Each month we showcase some of our favorite postcards we've recently added to our collection and uploaded to the site in a slideshow presentation. Here is the latest in our video series:
A selection of our latest uploads. Airlinecolors.com uploads postcards weekly, so check back often!

Canto One-Piece Translucent Soprano Recorder with Baroque FingeringFeatures simple and durable one-piece construction and very friendly looks. Double 6th and 7th holes provide ultimate ease of play. Wonderful intonation, balance, and response for such an affordable instrument. Includes bag, cleaning rod, and fingering chart.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I have several class sets of these in my school. Having several colors helps me have a cool looking set for each class. They are durable with a good in-tune sound, and the kids love them. For the price, I would recommend these especially to teachers. The Lyons 25 pack are pretty decent recorders as well if you want a class set and don't have much money, but if you can afford a little extra, I would go with the Canto.
Usually three-piece recorders are preferred because their joints can be pulled apart and pushed in for tuning, and because separating the joints makes cleaning the recorder easier. However, I found this Canto translucent one-piece recorder to be a good option for schools with small budgets (and parents are more willing to buy their child an instrument when it's cheap). With three-piece instruments that I used last year, students wanted to take them apart constantly and trade for different-colored pieces from other students' recorders. More pieces to take apart meant more dropped pieces and more damaged recorders. The price and the security of this one-piece recorder sold me. And, the sound was as good or better than older three-piece recorders that the school had in stock.
The Canto Soprano Recorder in translucent blue looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. I haven't played one since the 5th grade, so I thought it would be fun to try. With the fingering chart and some downloaded music it wasn't that difficult to make a few notes. I have trouble keeping my fingers fully on the holes, but that's the nature of the recorder. It just takes practice. It is solid, stamped 'Korea' so I am comfortable that it is manufactured safely. For the price you can't go wrong.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Bottega Does Beauty—And Well
The designer fragrance boom, is, well, booming. This Fall will see the release of new olfactory offerings from the likes of Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Fendi, Prada, and Bottega Veneta, which debuted its premiere scent last night at a cocktail party on the Upper East Side. "It's based on the idea of leather, not the smell of leather," Vice President of Marketing for Bottega Veneta Fragrances, Coty Prestige Thomas Lalague said of the floral chypre eau that features classically masculine notes like oak moss, benzoin, and Indian patchouli softened by more feminine hints of jasmine sambac and plum. "The trail is very feminine but I think it will appeal to men and women," Lalague said, pointing out that its future success will be due to the committed involvement of the house's creative director, Tomas Maier. "It was about an inspiration more than anything," Maier said of his vision—an inspiration that stemmed specifically from the idea of a house in the Venetian countryside, with dark wood floors, leather bound books, and a warm breeze circulating the scent of wildflowers, cut grass, and hay. Maier, in turn, was eager to share credit with his perfuming partner, Robertet's Michel Almairac. "A nose is something magic."
When asked why the brand had decided to branch out into fragrance now, the designer replied that it was "the right time for the company. If there's no image of a woman, there's no need for a fragrance." Having spent the last ten years building this image of "a woman who knows what she wants, is very confident and not about trends," it seems that the need for a scent is now very real: BV fans like Jen Brill, Giovanna Battaglia, and Coco Brandolini all turned up to toast Maier. "Usually perfumes from big brands feel heavy. But this is the first one that's not heavy, and that's so important. And the bottle!" effused Brandolini of the rounded flacon with the house's signature intrecciato woven leather pattern carved out on the bottom. "I never buy a fragrance if the bottle is bad and I love to have [this one] on my dresser."

Track & Field
Feb. 13, 1997
Men's Track and Field Turns Attention To Big Ten Championships
Although it may seem like a questionable move, it proved to be a brilliant strategy that succeeded beyond Spartan expectations. In what may turn out to be the highlight of the 1996-97 indoor season, Baker shattered the Michigan State University indoor record in the 3,000 meters, busting through the finish line in an extraordinary 8:06.02. His time topped the mark set by former Spartan great Anthony Hamm, 8;11.04, set in Hamm's tremendous 1991 season. Baker reached the NCAA provisional qualifying time of 8:12.00. In crushing Hamm's record by more than five seconds, Baker became the first Spartan to etch his name in the record books since 1992, when both Larry Harden (55 high hurdles; 7.30 seconds) and Chris Brown (600 meters; 1:18.85) left their marks in MSU track history.
Despite the record, Baker's time placed him third in the event. However the two that topped him, Mark Croghan (unattached, 7:56.91) and Tony Casey (Team Adidas, 8:04.36), left Baker as the highest- ranking collegian in the race. In his spectacular 1997 season, Baker has not been outdistanced by an opposing collegiate runner. Fellow Spartan Ryan Kennedy was the only one to find a chink in the armor, edging him out in the mile during the Spartan Invitational (Feb. 1).
Not to be upstaged, Kennedy also made headlines. He surged to the finish line in the mile, also eclipsing an NCAA provisional qualifying time. He stopped the watch in 4:06.07, placing him sixth in the contest. But more importantly, Kennedy slipped in under the NCAA provisional mark of 4:06.50. He heads into the final part of the season with tremendous momentum and will be a strong contender for the Big Ten Championship after placing fourth last season in a time of 4:13.16.
Both Baker's and Kennedy's times would have gained race victories in the Central Collegiates. Eastern Michigan's Ben Reese, named Central Collegiate Championships Athlete of the Year, won both events in their absence. He timed in 8:35.57 in the 3,000, while stopping the watch in 4:12.15 in the mile.
The 5,000 featured a foursome of Spartans, as freshman Joe Leo (Northville) led the group by crossing the finish line in 14:47.81, landing him in third place overall. Immediately behind Leo was fellow Spartan Brendan Banyon (So., St. Joseph's), as he hit the tape in 14:53.82, good for five points and a fourth-place finish. Sophomores Jake Nay (Columbus, Ind.) and Chris Wehrman (Pinckney) rounded out the crew, timing at 15:12.50 and 15:17.65, respectively.
Sophomore Lee Mays (Muskegon Heights) almost upstaged Coulter in the 600, finishing third in 1:20.68. Had it not been for Coulter's dramatics, Mays' time would have been the best by a Spartan this season. Mays and Coulter combined for 16 points, making this the most productive race for the MSU squad. Freshman Tim White (Arlington Heights, III.) also competed in the event, finishing eleventh in 1:25.06.
Junior Tyrone Garland (Cliffwood, NJ) continued his strong presence in the shot put, launching the rock 52 feet, 4 inches. His fourth-place finish gained him five points for the Spartan charge. In other field event action, the freshman duo of Keith Sudheimer (Farmington) and Matt Ingram (Lyons) each bounded 6 feet, 3.25 inches in the high jump, finishing 10th and 11th, respectively. As the lone Spartan sprinter in the finals of a sprint event, senior Ramsey Watkins (Flint) faced tough competition in the 55 high hurdles. In what proved to be a photo finish between Central Michigan's Greg Richardson (7.40 seconds) and Michigan's Neil Gardner (7.41), Watkins held his own, picking up two points with a seventh-place finish in 7.72 seconds.
A trio of Spartans garnered points in the 3,000-meters. An event MSU has dominated this season, they again ran well despite missing their best 3,000 runner, Kyle Baker. U.S. Air Force Academy transfer Steve Schell (So., Dearborn) led the Green and White band, hitting the tape in fourth, 8:39.39. Junior Jim Marcero (Monroe) and freshman Jason Kokoczka (Jackson) finished in a virtual dead heat in seventh and eighth place, as they reached the finish line in 8:47.01 and 8:47.02, respectively. Despite Ryan Kennedy's absence, the Michigan State milers continued their strong running. Junior Mark Goodfellow (Oxford) finally made his mark on the 1997 campaign, reaching the finish line in a strong 4:15.95, good for fifth place. Wehrman (4:20.01), junior Jim Jurcevich (Defiance, Ohio, 4:22.00) and sophomore Andrew Brittain (Monroe, 4:32.55) helped solidify the Spartan effort. The lone MSU 800-meter runner, senior Todd Richman (Kalamazoo), ran valiantly, but finished 25th in a time of 2:04.93.

Rookie Called Up to Practice with Big Club
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in the playoffs for the 15th time in 17 American Hockey League seasons, announced that the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins have recalled goaltender Adam Courchaine. He is expected to join the parent Bruins today for practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, Massachusetts. With the move, the P-Bruins have 27 players on their roster, including 15 forwards, nine defensemen and three goaltenders.
Courchaine, 20, joined Providence on April 3 and appeared in one game for the P-Bruins during the regular season, stopping 29 of 32 shots in an April 11 road loss to the Worcester Sharks. Prior to his recall to Providence, Courchaine appeared in 30 games for the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League, finishing the year with a 13-11-2 mark, along with a 3.28 goals-against-average and two shutouts. His junior season came to an end on March 31 after Ottawa was defeated in a seven-game first round series by the Niagara IceDogs. Courchaine went 2-3 with a 3.00 GAA in the postseason, earning a 32-save shutout in Game 6 of the series before suffering an overtime loss in the decisive Game 7.
Courchaine spent nearly a month with Providence late last season for his first professional experience, going 2-0-0 with a 1.67 goals-against-average and .920 save percentage over two starts and one relief appearance. The young net-minder made his pro debut on April 6, 2008 versus the Manchester Monarchs, earning a shootout win with 21 saves and a four-for-four showing in the shootout.
In his two junior seasons, Courchaine is 30-36-6 with a 3.25 GAA in 78 regular season games, plus a 2-7 mark and 3.56 GAA in the playoffs. The undrafted native of Kanata, Ontario, was signed by Boston on September 30, 2007.
To purchase tickets or for more information, call the P-Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website providencebruins.com. Tickets may be purchased in person by visiting the Dunkin' Donuts Center Box Office or all TicketMaster outlets.

Apple released an economic study that says its new headquarters will inject $2.1 billion into the local economy and that it will ad 7,400 full-time jobs.
The $2.1 billion will be spent on neighboring businesses in Cupertino, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, according to the San Jose Mercury News, citing Apple's report. It's new campus is also supposed to generate $13 million annually for Cupertino, about $3.8 million more than last year's tax bill. Not surprisingly, the study came out just before an environmental impact report on Apple's new HQ.

TV on the Radio guitarist and production mastermind Dave Sitek has joined Jane's Addiction, kinda. According to a press release, Sitek is now a member of the pioneering funk-metal band's "creative team". He's playing bass and writing for the band's forthcoming album, tentatively due this summer from Capitol. The album is still in progress; the band is working on it in Los Angeles with Muse/Interpol producer Rich Costey.
Duff McKagan Joins Jane's Addiction

Last month, original bassist Eric Avery announced his latest departure from Jane's Addiction. Reporting on Avery's exit, Rolling Stone speculated on who the new bassist might be, citing some evidence that it might be founding Guns N' Roses member Duff McKagan. That guess turned out to be absolutely right. Jane's announced yesterday that Duff is now a member of the band.

Rolling Stone points out that original bassist Eric Avery has left Jane's Addiction. Avery made the announcement on his Twitter, writing, "thats it. with equal parts regret and relief, the janes addiction experiment is at an end." Frequently shirtless Jane's guitarist Dave Navarro confirmed the departure on his own Twitter: "Yes, Eric Avery has left the band. More to come but we wish him all the best!"

By the final day of Lollapalooza, any memories of chilly, wet Friday afternoon were long gone. Sunday brought even more baking hot temperatures, and the attendant sweat, smell, and lethargy that go along with them. It would be up to the bands to distract festivalgoers from the heat-- no small task. Pitchfork reporters Tom Breihan and Paul Thompson were there to document who stood out from the crowd.
(An unfortunate side note: The Chicago Sun-Times reports that there was one death at this year's Lollapalooza. Jeffrey Grimm, a 39-year-old from Oak Park, Illinois, suffered cardiac arrest while at the festival on Friday afternoon. He was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and died shortly afterwards of natural causes.)
Here's Tom Breihan's Sunday report, covering sets from Bat for Lashes, Gang Gang Dance, Passion Pit, Band of Horses, and Jane's Addiction.

Perry Farrell Talks Lollapalooza, New Jane's Addiction Material
By Ryan Dombal on August 4, 2009 at 3:30 p.m. EDT
In 1991, Jane's Addiction headlined the first Lollapalooza tour. Eighteen years later, the famed L.A. hedonists are set to return to the Lolla stage when they close out the fest's last night this Sunday, August 9, in Chicago's Grant Park. Perry Farrell, for one, is ready.
As the megafest's founder, producing partner, and artistic director, Farrell has got a lot invested in the three-day bonanza. Perry's Stage, his namesake club-style electronic music haven in the middle of the park, hosts DJ sets from Animal Collective, A-Trak, Hercules and Love Affair, Diplo, Simian Mobile Disco, and more this year. But for Lollapalooza 2009, he's especially relishing his role as a performer.
Still, nothing comes easy for Farrell's infamously volatile band. A slight cast of doubt was put over the reunion performance recently, when drummer Stephen Perkins suffered from an elbow infection, causing the quartet to cancel some Australian dates. Talking to us last week, Farrell went into (possibly too much) detail about Perkins' injury (complete with a photo!), what fans can expect from the Lolla gig, and if Jane's Addiction are considering working on a new album:
News in Brief: Jane's Addiction, the Swell Season, Duran Duran, Fool's Gold
By Ryan Dombal on July 24, 2009 at 12:00 p.m. EDT
-- Bad news for Australian fans looking to get their Jane's Addiction on: The band has canceled their scheduled tour Down Under because drummer Stephen Perkins is currently being treated at the Infectious Disease Ward at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles for "an infection in his elbow," according to a press release. Can someone buy these guys some Neosporin? Shit.
-- The Swell Season-- aka Frames frontman Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, aka the couple from the movie Once-- have a new album coming out on September 29 via Anti- called Strict Joy. No stiflingly earnest film to go along with it this time, though.
-- One for the How Has This Not Happened Already file: Duran Duran are set to reissue their 1982 yacht club masterpiece, Rio, in expanded 2xCD form September 22 via Capitol/EMI. The previously unreleased concert film Live at Hammersmith '82! comes out the same day. Details here.
-- Afro-pop L.A. collective Fool's Gold-- not to be confused with the hip-house label-- are prepping their self-titled debut LP for a September 29 release on IAMSOUND. The band features members of Foreign Born, We Are Scientists, Luke Top, and more. Get a feel for their bright rhythms and lilting vocals by listening to their P4k-praised track "Surprise Hotel" here.
Echo Chamber: Perry Farrell
By Pitchfork on April 20, 2009 at 11:05 a.m. EDT
"If my band didn't have issues, if they didn't throw tantrums, I would think I was with a bunch of suckers. After all we're just delivering music that people love, so how bad can it be? It could be worse. We could be drafted."
-- Perry Farrell puts it all into perspective while talking about the troubled Jane's Addiction reunion. (via Billboard)
Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, and Street Sweeper Release Tour EP
By Mark Richardson on March 20, 2009 at 4:05 p.m. EDT
Imagine the joy in the room when Nine Inch Nails and the reunited Jane's Addiction sat down to talk about what to call their upcoming tour, and then someone hit upon "NIN|JA."
So, the tour has a snappy name, and now it's also got a website and a free downloadable EP with new music. The NIN|JA 2009 Tour Sampler contains two tracks each from Jane's Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, and Tom Morello's Street Sweeper project, and they're giving it away for an email address. The two Jane's tracks, oddly, are new recordings of old songs ("Chip Away", previously live-only, and old standby "Whores") produced by Trent Reznor and Alan Moulder. The two Nine Inch Nails songs have been performed live, but these studio versions are previously unreleased. All tracks available in whatever format you need-- .wav heads, you're good to go. The Nine Inch Nails site also promises "new multi-tracks for you to create your own remixes." Tracklist below the jump.
Nine Inch Nails/Jane's Addiction Tour Dates Revealed
By Tom Breihan on March 4, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. EST
You know, if Trent Reznor was going to go through all the trouble to link up with Jane's Addiction for an alt-rock veterans' tour, would it really have been that much trouble to turn it into a full-blown Lollapalooza '91 reunion? Is Ice-T's acting career keeping him so busy that he couldn't take a couple of months off? What about Living Colour? Or the Butthole Surfers? Those guys are probably all anxiously waiting by the phone just in case Reznor feels a sudden wave of nostalgic goodwill.
Even without Siouxsie and the Banshees or the Rollins Band, though, this NIN/JA jaunt is a beast of a tour, and we're already getting our devil sticks and "Censorship Is Unamerican" T-shirts out of mothballs. And since Reznor has written that he's ready to "disappear for a while" after this tour, this could be our last chance to experience the inevitable arena-wide hush when the first notes of "Something I Can Never Have" chime out.
Last month, we reported that both bands would serve as headliners for this year's Sasquatch Festival. And last night, Reznor announced the first wave of dates on the Nine Inch Nails website. Here's how they look:
(Note: Jane's Addiction aren't playing with Nine Inch Nails on the Chicago stop on the tour, which means they are probably playing this year's Lollapalooza. - Ed.)

Marbles : mania, depression, Michelangelo, & me : a graphic memoir
Ellen Forney

What other readers are saying about this title:
Emily Lloyd said:
So good. One of the best graphic-format memoirs I've read, and one of the best books on mental illness. Forney makes brilliant use of comix to capture the poles of manic depression and explore "Club Van Gogh"--the high incidence of bipolar disorder in artists, the hell of a choice one has to make as a mentally ill artist between what feels like "keeping one's edge", the overflow of ideas and creative energy and productivity during mania if one remains unmedicated, and of functioning more responsibly, medicated, where managing to bring even one full idea to the surface is a struggle like dredging a lake with a spoon. And her coining of "cra-dar" (rhymes with 'gaydar')--a mentally ill person's real or imagined ability to recognize other mentally ill people--cracked me up (no pun intended).
