Diana Slip, a French lingerie company from the 1930's owned by Léon Vidal. To say that they were a "lingerie company" is actually a bit loose . To be clearer, it was more like part of a erotica-supply conglomerate that made and sold fetish wear, condoms, erotic books and photography, and established the Librarie de la Lune (which I'm assuming is a pornographic reading room, but I haven't been able to find concrete information on that.) They also produced a series of illustrated catalogues/magazines (including Lingerie Libertines and The Paris Magazine) with excellent fine art photographers such as Brassai, Jean Moral and Roger Schall.

I just wanted to share a little "game" that helped my 3-year old preschooler to recognize her numbers here a few weeks back.
This game is SO simple that it's almost laughable; yet it went over VERY well with our tyke! I am still amazed. There is no strategy involved, it's so simple I almost hesitate to call it a game. But I did call it a "number game" to my 3-year old and she loved it.
I used foam numbers and plastic numbers, and just made a heap of them between us. I would pick one, hold it up high and call out loud its name, such as "Number five!" and put it to my personal pile.
She would then find the same number (I made sure there were at least two of each) and did the same, called out loud its name and gathered the number to herself.
Then it was her turn to pick any number from the pile, call out its name, and put it to her pile, and I had to find the same number.
After all the numbers in the middle pile were gone, her task was to arrange her numbers in order. That's it.
Actually we don't have to play that anymore because she learned to recognize them so quick. She's also learning to count, but just like all kids do, her fingers are sometimes faster than her mouth saying numbers, or vice versa, and so she doesn't always get it right. She enjoys watching big sister do computer games, such as at Time4Learning or UpToTen.com. Now they two can also play UNO together (since she recognizes the numbers!).

Finding a natural solution
Living in the Pittsburgh area, Christmas celebrations are a blend of many different ethnicities. During the days before Christmas there is a Peoples Gas Holiday Market in the downtown area, which is patterned after the Christkindlemarkt created in 1545 in Nuremberg, Germany, and the Christkindlmarket in Chicago, Illinois.
The city is also lucky enough to have a replica of the Vatican's Crèche, which is built in St. Peter's Square in Rome every year. It is a larger-than-life replica, and it is beautiful. The Herbal Husband and I visited several years ago. It has become a popular tradition for many families to visit this attraction every season. I wanted you to see the Crèche at night. I found a beautiful photo taken by Dr. Dennis Woytek, an assistant professor of Journalism and Multimedia Arts at Duquesne University. Dr. Woytek has a blog, The Woytek Blog, talking about his travels and this Crèche. If you are in the Pittsburgh area, the Crèche is a not-to-be-missed Christmas experience.
Be sure to visit the Pittsburgh Creche at night, when it is at its most beautiful. Photos Courtesy Dr. Dennis Woytek, The Woytek Blog.
This time of year, two of my favorite herbal authors are Adelma Grenier Simmons and Bertha Reppert. Simmons wrote a number of herbal books, but one of my favorites is A Merry Christmas Herbal, which was published in 1968. Simmons considered Christmas to be a season all by itself. In another one of her books, Herb Gardening in Five Seasons, at Caprilands (her famous herb farm) they celebrated Christmas from St. Nicholas Day, December 6, to Twelfth Night, January 6, extending the season.
Find Simmons' books at BookFinder.com.
These are two of my favorite herb books by Adelma Grenier Simmons. Photo By Nancy Heraud.
Reppert was also prolific in her herbal works. She compiled a series of scrapbooks, one of which is about Christmas. Bertha Reppert's Herbal Scrapbook #2 was created in 1987 and it is jam-packed with all kinds of recipes and ideas for Christmas. In it she writes "The magic of herbs will guarantee you an unforgettable holiday with memories to treasure."
I couldn't agree more.
Find Reppert's books at The Rosemary House & Gardens and BookFinder.com.

Speaking of herbs and Christmastime, here are some herbal legends associated with Christmas and the manger. These first three herbs were known animal insecticides that helped to protect the animals and—as it turned out—the Holy Family while staying in the stable.
Bedstraw was in the stable along with hay the night Christ child was born. Bedstraw bloomed with white flowers and no fragrance. After the birth, the flowers were turned to gold and there was a heavenly fragrance.
Pennyroyal was used by Joseph for the manger because of its minty scent, not for its blossoms. Once the baby was born, it bloomed beautiful purple blossoms ever after for the King of Kings.
Thyme was another herb used in the manger because it gave the manger a sweet, clean scent. It was also a symbol of bravery.
Rosemary is well-known as the Christmas herb. My favorite story of rosemary says that while Mary rested in a grove of rosemary bushes during her flight to Egypt, she laid her cloak out to dry on a white blooming rosemary bush, and her cloak turned the flowers blue.
My potted rosemary has produced some beautiful blue blooms this year. Photo By Nancy Heraud.
In the early days of my blog (Lemon Verbena Lady's Herb Garden) I wrote about one of my favorite herbal crafts that can decorate during any time of year, but especially at Christmas—"Angels from Nature." If you are looking for a quick herbal craft before the holidays, and you have extra dried herbs and flowers, this would be a fun project for you and your kids or grandkids to do together.

Let's be honest, vaginas can get expensive. From periods to contraceptives to special doctors, being a woman will inevitably cost a lot of money. One way to cut down those expenses? Switch to reusable menstrual products.
The average price of the best-selling brand of pads is $5.79. Multiply that by 12 months and your period will cost a woman $70 a year. That's doesn't seem so bad, right? But what about over her whole life? The average woman can expect to menstruate for 40 years. $70 a year multiplied by 40 years? That's $2,800.
And tampons are even more expensive. The average price of the best-selling brand of tampons is $8.79. Multiplied by 12 months and then by 40 years? The average woman can expect to spend $4,220.
A typical cloth pad starter kit is about $120. That means you save more than $2,500 over your lifetime.
One menstrual cup runs about $40. That means you save more than $4,000 over your lifetime.
A woman who has to use both tampons and pads during her period can expect to save more than $6,500 just by choosing cloth pads or a menstrual cup instead. If that number doesn't convince, there are plenty of other reasons to switch to reusable menstrual products. From helping the environment to keeping your body safe from toxic chemicals, switching to reusables is well worth the money.
So what will you do with the $6,500 you save over your lifetime?

You're doing a lot for you, your body, and your environment by using reusable menstrual products. You deserve to treat yourself!
And don't be afraid to talk to your friends about cloth pads. The more women who switch to reusable menstrual products, the bigger the impact on the environment. Plus, it'll be nice to have a friend on that vacation with you!

As I said in my last post, Aromatherapy Crafts for the Holidays, Part 1, a great way to relieve stress during the holiday season is by using the herbs in your garden. Read about the following herbal scents for even more ways to help relieve stress over the holidays!
GARLIC: Garlic (Allium sativum) is said to repel negative energy. Breathe in garlic's odor and get rid of negative thoughts, depression and all forms of obsession. Do not use dried or dehydrated garlic. Instead, use fresh cloves. Here is a recipe for one of my favorite jellies, posted in October 2009. It is delicious served with cream cheese as an appetizer and as a condiment for pork or other meat and maybe even your turkey.
Rosemary Garlic Jelly Recipe
GERANIUM: This is an herb that is great as a houseplant during the winter months especially the lemon varieties. The essential oil of geranium (Pelargonium crispum) is usually made from the rose geranium. Either put several drops of essential oil on a cotton ball or rub a leaf and inhale the fragrance. It calms the body and refreshes it as well.
Here is a potpourri recipe using rose scented geranium leaves created at Hinode Farm and from the book Scented Geraniums by Jim Becker & Faye Brawner.
Scented Geranium Potpourri
• 2 cups rose-scented pelargonium leaves
• 1 cup lavender flowers, preferably left on the stem
• 1 cup lemon-scented herbs
• 2 cups rose petals
• 1 cup oak moss
• 1 cup larkspur petals
• 1 cup rosemary leaves (I used sage leaves.)
• A few small spruce or fir cones (I used hemlock.)
For a sharper fragrance, mix 50 drops of rose pelargonium oil with 6 tablespoons orrisroot. It will make the fragrance last longer. If you are allergic to orrisroot because of its dusty qualities, you can add corn cob, oakmoss or another fixative to the mix with the essential oil.
LEMON VERBENA: You didn't think that I would leave my favorite herb, lemon verbena (Aloysia triphylla or citrodora), out of this post, did you? The essential oil is expensive. The fresh leaves are crushed and used for purification and the fragrance of the leaves encourages spiritual love. In the photo above you can see there are two lemon scented geraniums, 'lemon crispum' and 'lemon meringue' and my favorite, lemon verbena. I need to start using these leaves for some aromatherapy.
SAGE: This traditional Thanksgiving herb (Salvia officinalis) was used to strengthen the ability to memorize. You should only use fresh or dried leaves.
Warning: The sage essential oil contains high levels of thujone, a dangerous substance. It should not be used at all, particularly by pregnant women.

If you are looking to relieve stress during the holiday season, look no further than your herb garden. Even if you don't have an herb garden, growing potted rosemary, lavender or scented geranium indoors can help you stay stress-free thanks to aromatherapy, the art of using aromatic essential oils. Using scented herbs in potpourri, bath bags or simmering spices can help you boost your energy, keep you calm and relaxed, or get you some rest whenever you need it the most. Here are a couple of the best seasonal scents.
BASIL: Even though it may not be a traditional holiday herb or scent, you can use the fresh or dried form of basil (Ocimum basilicum) to help reduce mental fatigue and clear your mind. Inhaling the fragrance helps you to remain calm and ease your nervousness.
Warning: Do not use basil essential oil internally.
Basil Bath Bag
I found this Basil Bath Bag recipe in The Basil Book by Marilyn Hampstead. It is a great idea to clean out your kitchen cupboards and enjoy an herbal bath in the process. If the flavors of the herbs are not strong, they should no longer be used for culinary purposes, but are still great candidates for the bath bags. She cautions not to use peppers in the blends or turmeric (which is a yellow dye, as is saffron). I personally would not use any herb blends that would have garlic in them, but that's just me.
• 1 cup crushed dried basil
• 1 cup mixed kitchen herb and spice discards
• 1 orange, or 2 lemon peels
• 18-inch by 18-inch muslin, or large handkerchief
• Rubber band, twist tie, string, or 1 clean knee-high stocking
1. Place dried herbs and citrus peel in the middle of the fabric square and grab edges to make a pouch and tie securely, or place herbs and peels into the knee-high stocking and knot the open end.
2. Fasten your bath bag to the bathtub faucet and turn on the water. Let the tub fill slowly and allow the herbs to steep. Then get in and soak. Unfasten the bath bag and use as a gentle skin massager. You want to make sure that the bag is securely fastened because it is not fun cleaning up two cups of herbs in your tub or on your body.
CINNAMON: Use cinnamon sticks (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) rather than the ground cinnamon to give you a burst of energy when you need it.
Warning: Cinnamon essential oil is very irritating and should never be used on the skin.
Marge Clark's Simmering Citrus Potpourri
This aromatic potpourri is from Marge Clark's book Christmas Thyme at Oak Hill Farm. Even though this is one of my favorite Christmas books, I think you will enjoy this for Thanksgiving as well. Your home will smell wonderful with the scent of citrus and spice.
• 1 cup dried, cut-up orange peel
• 1/2 cup dried, cut-up lemon peel
• 1/2 cup cinnamon stick pieces
• 1/2 cup whole allspice
• 1/4 cup whole cloves
• 1/4 cup anise seed
• 1/2 tablespoon coriander seed (optional)
• 1/2 cup bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon orange oil
1. Mix all ingredients together, then store in an air-tight container. Give this as a hostess or a holiday gift.
2. To use, simmer 1 cup water with 3 tablespoons potpourri in a pan or potpourri burner. Don't let the water evaporate. Keep filling the container with water.

Via Soup Night
Hosting a soup party or "soup night" in your neighborhood is a great way to build community and friendships. It doesn't have to be fancy or complicated, just a fun night for neighbors to enjoy a warm bowl of deliciousness filled with an array of healthful, nutritious ingredients. Here are a few tips to help you organize your very own soup party.
Find a partner-in-crime. Recruit a close neighbor to help you plan and prepare.
Set a date. You will want to give people 1 to 2 weeks notice. Weekends usually work best.
Distribute invitations. Hand them out personally or leave them at the door. Keep invitations simple and invite everyone.
Via Pinterest
Once you have invited the neighborhood, it's time to start planning your soup party. Keep it laid back and don't stress over making it perfect. We have gathered ideas from successful soup nights to help you along the way.
• Make the soups ahead of time and save yourself the stress of preparing everything the day of. Made-ahead soups can be warmed on the stove and ready to serve in no time.
• Skip the waste of disposable bowls—or the pile of dishes—by asking attendees to bring their own bowl and spoon.
• Instead of one person cooking all of the soup, try a potluck soup night; ask each neighbor to bring one bowl of soup and have a recipe swap.
• Host a soup night for a good cause. Soup is casual and has a way of drawing in donors better than a fancy dinner.
• If you aren't sure where to start in planning which soups to make, check out the following suggestions from Maggie Stuckey's new book Soup Night.

Cloth pad converts are known for (loudly) proclaiming that reusable cloth pads changed their life. If you've never tried cloth pads before, you might be wondering how a pad could possibly revolutionize your period. In this article, you'll learn just five of the ways switching to cloth pads changed my life for the better.
When I was in high school, I hated my period with a passion because I was painfully sore "down there" for a week. Little did I know…that's not supposed to happen! Once I switched to cloth, I realized that my body was irritated by the moisture-wicking chemicals inside regular disposable pads. Now my period is relatively painless (except for the occasional bout of cramps when I don't take good care of my body throughout the rest of the month).
2. Pretty colors = major mood boosters.
This one might sound silly, but it's totally true for me. Cloth pads can be pretty! And pretty colors make me feel happy. I enjoy picking out which pads I'm going to use each day during my cycle, and I have my go-to favorites that always brighten my mood. It's kind of like wearing really awesome underwear. No one knows about it, but it makes you feel good anyway!
3. Your period will go by in a flash.
I am routinely surprised each time my period is over. "It only just started!" I'll think. Then I'll check my period tracker app and realize, yup, it's about time to be wrapping up. Scientifically, it's unclear if switching to cloth from disposables actually makes your period shorter, or if it just feels like it! But then…as long as it feels quick, does it really matter?
4. You'll never waddle awkwardly to the store with a bunch of toilet paper stuffed in your undies at 9 o'clock at night to buy overpriced tampons.
This one speaks for itself, I think. Yes, I was that girl (multiple times). With my stash of cloth pads, I will never be that girl again. Thank goodness.
5. You might actually feel GOOD about your period.
The monthly ritual of using cloth makes me feel like I'm taking extra care of my body. When I use cloth pads, I find a deeper appreciation of my cycle and the work my body is doing. I no longer feel like my period is some sort of medical problem that needs to be bandaged up; rather, I feel like I'm honoring my body by making a healthy choice. My period is not always a welcome visitor, but it's certainly not a curse since I switched to cloth!

The new school year's just started. Everyone's on a level field right now, whether you're a straight-A student or one who's just trying to stay in school. It's a fresh start, before studying, tests, classes, extracurricular activities and—obviously—your personal life wear you out.
So what's an overwhelmed student to do? Everyone's always telling you about how cheating is bad and that an unfair advantage is something to be avoided. Let's face it though—a little boost here and there couldn't hurt. Besides, it's not really cheating per se…it's more like a way to give you an edge.
Wondering what you have to do to get this advantage? Believe it or not, it's as simple as eating healthy. Read on for a cheat sheet on why and how to ace your exams through your stomach.
1. Eating healthy gives you energy. This one's a no-brainer. (Get it?) Candy, chips and soda are easy to grab on-the-go, but they will cause you to crash in no time at all. You might be alert for the first part of class, but drooling on your desk by the end. This dramatic shift in your ability to focus can completely tank your learning and test-taking efforts. Don't be that guy snoring in the back of class. Choose snacks that have fiber and protein for long-lasting fuel that won't cause crazy insulin spikes.
Tip: Boost your memory with a hard-boiled egg instead of the sugary and salty snacks from the vending machine. As a good source of choline, eggs are an amazing brain food.
2. Staying hydrated means staying awake. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and sleeping through class. Or it can cause you to not be able to focus on what's on the page in front of you. Have you ever tried to answer questions when your brain's fuzzy? The fastest way to ruin all your studying is to show up for a test without being properly fueled—and that means drinking plenty of liquid. The brain is nearly 75 percent liquid and has no way of storing water, which is why dehydration affects your mental performance so quickly.
Tip: Stay away from sugary drinks as they'll just cause you to crash a few hours later when the sugar and caffeine have worn off. Stick to plain old water or unsweetened tea (watch out for the caffeine though). Your teeth, jeans and brain will thank you.
3. Your brain needs glucose to function. Just because your brain needs glucose does not mean it's free-for-all time at the candy store. Trying to jumpstart your brain with a heavy dose of glucose can harm the rest of your body and the brain itself, leading to sleepiness, impaired memory and mental fog. Glucose can be drawn from recently eaten carbohydrates—like vegetables, fruits, and whole grain. The fiber and other nutrients in these whole foods help prevent the sugar spikes that lead to the crashes.
Tip: Eat fruit to power your brain. Fruit is a great source of fiber and fructose, as well as that all-important glucose. The glucose will keep your brain running, and fructose with the fiber will keep your energy levels up and stable. Added bonus: fruits are packed with antioxidants, which can help protect your brain.
4. Certain nutrients protect your brain from environmental damage. What's that you say? You've never done anything hazardous or harmful to your health, ever, in your whole life? Well, good for you. Most students have—and eating healthy can help protect or even repair some of the damage done from exposure to the, ah, "elements."
Tip: Eat fish for the omega-3s, which could minimize the effect of junk food on the brain while boosting your memory and ability to learn. Skip the fish sticks in the cafeteria though, as there is probably very little omega-3 and a lot of extra fat and filler.
5. Brain food slows aging and cognitive decline. Unless you want to end up like your older relatives who constantly wander about, asking where their keys are, start protecting your brain now against aging factors—and you'll end up seeing a boost to your memory. Better memory equals better test scores.
Tip: Snack on nuts and seeds. They're good sources of the antioxidant vitamin E and of omega-3 fatty acids, which help prevent cognitive decline. Mix together pumpkin seeds, walnuts and dried blueberries for a brain-boosting snack with lasting power.
6. Improve your recall with the magical fruit. Beans aren't just good for your heart. Packed with protein and fiber to give you energy to stay alert while learning, studying or taking an exam, beans are also a great source of folic acid. A necessary nutrient for the developing brain, folic acid improves memory and brain performance.
Tip: Don't like beans (or its side effects)? Try eating strawberries or asparagus instead for the same effect.
Just remember: eating well alone will not help you ace those tests (obviously). You might have to crack open a book once in a while, or stay awake in class long enough to hear what the teacher has to say. But healthy eating will help give you a boost to help you succeed in school—and in life.

A trap set to catch hogs snagged something much bigger Thursday morning. Lee County Parks and Rec staff stumbled upon a black bear at Hickey Creek Mitigation Park. While it's unusual, it wasn't a total surprise to Parks and Rec staff. They had seen the bear roaming around the trap Wednesday. Thursday, they went out there again to see if they could find some of her tracks. Instead they found the 250-pound-bear inside the hog trap.
Whenever they catch something unusual, they call in FWC to help out. And it turns out the female black bear is actually one that FWC has seen before. She was caught back in 2011 around the Bonita Springs area and they relocated her to a wildlife management area in Charlotte County.
"Often when they're relocated they will try to get back closer to home. Wild animals have an amazing homing instinct which can cause them to go long ranges," said Biologist Steve Shattler.
FWC biologists decided to relocate her again back to that same area in Charlotte County. They did have to tranquilize the bear so they could get her out of the trap safely.
FWC says the space at Hickey's Creek is just too close to urban areas and houses for a bear her size.

Contemporary Arts Center has officially announced that Patti Smith will perform The Coral Sea with daughter/pianist Jesse Smith on May 17, in connection with her CAC exhibit, also called The Coral Sea, that opens the next day and features work not previously seen in the U.S.
At the concert, Smith will also play selected material from throughout her career.
The CAC website says that "The Coral Sea performance work found its beginnings from Smith's 1997 book of the same name, her requiem to her dear friend Robert Mapplethorpe (who took the cover photo of Smith's debut album, Horses, among his many other accomplishments). With music arranged and performed live by Kevin Shields — of heralded British shoegaze band My Bloody Valentine — two separate performances were held at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall in June 2005 and September 2006. In 2008 those performances were released as a live album."
Mapplethorpe's own posthumous photography retrospective at CAC, 1990's The Perfect Moment, became a major controversy when cultural conservatives led by now-retired Sheriff Simon Leis tried to shut it down for obscenity. In a famous trial, a jury sided with the CAC. The concert venue and ticket information will be announced soon at www.contemporaryartscenter.org.
I first wrote about Smith's art show coming to the CAC in CityBeat last year here.
Despite Frank Ocean's deft leg-syncing and Taylor Swift's torture-porn-disguised-as-wholesome-circus, Akron, Ohio's Dan Auerbach and The Black Keys were The Grammys' big story last night, winning five trophies, the most of any artist.
While the Keys won the Grammys for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, Auerbach scored two solo Grammys for his production work, winning the trophy for Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) and also winning one for producing Dr. John's Locked Down, the Blues Album winner.
While Grammys for album winners are usually given to the producers, engineers, mastering engineers and artists, hopefully Cincinnati's Brian Olive will also score one for his work on the LP. Auerbach — who has produced albums by both Olive and Cincinnati's Buffalo Killers — enlisted Olive (an original member of Cincinnati's Greenhornes) to work on the Dr. John album. Olive has songwriting credits on every track on Locked Down, and he's also credited with playing guitar, percussion and woodwinds, as well as providing background vocals. (Check out CityBeat's profile of Olive from 2011, about his Auerbach-produced Two of Everything album, here.)
Kudos to Mr. Olive! That's him — the handsome feller with big side-burns playing sax (and a little guitar) in this video for the album's "Revolution."

Tonight at Rohs Street Café in Clifton Heights, local musicians get an industry trade show of their very own. The "Locally Insourced: Cincinnati Music Industry Trade Show" is being presented at the venue at 6 p.m., organized by the Counter Rhythm Group and presented in conjunction with the MidPoint Music Festival.
Along with being able to register for showcase consideration at this year's MPMF (you can also do so now via Sonicbids; click here for details), Locally Insourced is designed specifically with Greater Cincinnati musicians in mind and features booths representing various music entities in the area, from recording studios and merch makers to local labels, radio outlets and much more. Among the vendors participating: Modern Misfit Classic Genius, Southpaw Prints, Bearcast Radio, The SoundWorkshop Recording Studio, El Rey Effects, Moonbeam Studios, Moonlight Studios, CincyMusic.com, Play It Forward, Phratry Records, DMark Video Productions, Cincyticket, Coda Photography, QCA and Sebastian Illustration.
The event is free and open to all ages. Visit locallyinsourced.com for more details.
Counter Rhythm Group main-man Brian Penick has just launched a Kickstarter project for his forthcoming interactive and customizable e-book, Musicians' Desk Reference. Here is the pitch video that explains the project very well; click here to visit the Kickstarter page and check out the various perks your donation can earn for you.
For even more on the book, attend tonight's trade show and be sure to keep an eye on this here blog, where Penick recently began guest blogging monthly updates about the project.
California native and acclaimed Jazz composer/saxophonist Donny McCaslin got a fairly big jump on his music career, performing with an ensemble of experienced musicians by the time he was 12. If there was any nepotism involved (the group was McCaslin's father's, a vibraphonist), the criticisms probably faded quickly as McCaslin started his own group in high school and managed to get them booked multiple years at the Monterey Jazz Festival.
The saxophonist studied intently and performed in youth orchestras that traveled the globe, all before earning a full scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He moved to New York City in the early '90s and found work quickly, replacing Michael Brecker (a huge influence on the young musician) in the group Steps Ahead and going on to play with the Gil Evans Orchestra and many others.
By the mid-'90s, McCaslin — who had deeply explored the various aspects and possibilities of traditional Jazz — began to collaborate on more experimental Jazz projects, including the group Lan Xang and Ken Schaphorst's big band (alongside John Medeski and other unique top players). McCaslin's creative curiosity set the tone for his diverse solo albums, which have been widely acclaimed for the composer's successful risk-taking.
When McCaslin plays the Blue Wisp Jazz Club tonight (with shows at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m.), he'll be supporting on of his most compelling releases yet, 2012's Casting for Gravity. The album was inspired by McCaslin's interest in Electronic music, an uncommon ingredient in most forms of Fusion. The album roams from textural, ambient explorations (particularly on a cover of Scottish electronica duo Boards of Canada's "Alpha and Omega") to quirky, funky meditations like the glitchy "Tension."
It's a recipe that shouldn't work, but Casting for Gravity is a fascinating listen that makes one wonder if visionaries like John Coltrane or Ornette Coleman might not have pursued this direction if they were born 60 years later. It's primarily a progressive Jazz album, with tasteful electronic flourishes. Instead of aping Electronic music nakedly, McCaslin seamlessly incorporates the arrangement spirit of Electro masters like Aphex Twin or more contemporary EDM artists into his own compositions.
Tickets for tonight's shows are $20 (students can get into the 9:30 p.m. show for $15). Here is a clip of the band performing the latest album's track, "Stadium Jazz."
• The husband and wife duo of Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, better known as Shovels & Rope, were slated for an appearance at MidPoint Music Festival here in Cincinnati last fall, but an offer to open for Jack White convinced them to bow out of the fest.
Given the hardscrabble road the pair has traveled over the past five years, it's hard to argue with their choice. Denver native Trent and Nashville-raised Hearst had been in several bands before crossing paths in Charleston, S.C. (they'd met on tour over a decade ago), eventually playing in each other's bar bands and becoming friends.
In 2008, the pair formalized their friendship by writing and recording the album Shovels & Rope and releasing it under their own names.
The duo ultimately decided to name its group after the title of that debut album and released O' Be Joyful last summer to ecstatic press notice, with frequent references to Johnny Cash and June Carter and John Doe and Exene Cervenka (although they're just as quick to namecheck The Cramps and the visceral pairing of Lucinda Williams and Elvis Costello). (Preview by Brian Baker)
Shovels & Rope's success continues to rise, as evidenced just last week by their network TV debut on David Letterman's show (see below). But even on a local level, their ascent was obvious — tonight's appearance at the Southgate House Revival was moved from one of the smaller rooms in the venue to the larger "Sanctuary" room after it was clear that they could fill it. Showtime is 8:30 p.m. and tickets are $12 at the door (while they last).
A thousand words. That's what I have to tell you everything about what I am doing, why I am doing it and how it may affect musicians and the music industry. At the end of it, you get to form an overlying judgment on both who I am and my reasoning. So here we go.
My name is Brian Penick and I am the founder of an artist development company called The Counter Rhythm Group and the author of the upcoming eBook, Musicians' Desk Reference, an interactive and customizable eBook that establishes a protocol for progression through the modern music industry. Yes, that's a lot — I'll explain below.
But first I'd like to thank the kind folks at Cincinnati's CityBeat for giving me an amazing opportunity to guest blog about my world for the next couple months, raising nationwide awareness (and funding) for an eBook that will be released in October. We are very fortunate to have an entity such as CB here in Cincinnati that is willing to take a chance at promoting a startup project this early on, something that fewer individuals have every year with the closing of "altweekly" newspapers across the land. While I could go on for many paragraphs ranting about how important these outlets are to the worlds of the arts, small businesses and independent thinking in general, I simply implore you, if you have not done so in a while, to go pick one up and start reading. You won't realize what you're missing until its gone.
This book is a project that I am putting together out of both passion and necessity. I have been a touring musician for well over a decade now, having a large part of the business end in each of my projects, always trying to learn the ins and outs of the beast known as the music industry. I love giving advice to other musicians on whatever I can, and while I might not have the answer, I often have an answer, which is (usually) better than nothing. I enjoy seeing independent musicians thrive or "make it," and I always hope that people who find success are willing to share their knowledge and experiences with those who have not … a utopian dream I have where the music industry becomes more of a community, eliminating the competitive edge that unfortunately drives musicians to greedy and selfish attitudes about helping others.
Throughout my personal experiences as a musician and running The Counter Rhythm Group I have found some parallels to the questions musicians are asking, most of which seem to have a natural progression to them.
For many, the music industry seems to be a labyrinth you have to face in the dark. Why does it need to be this way? I believe it doesn't.
Musicians' Desk Reference sheds light on the complexities. You're still going to have to navigate your own path, but this eBook will give you some tools in your belt to have as good of a chance as ever. The inner workings of the book display information on several topics of the music industry, offering insight as to WHY, WHEN and HOW you can accomplish important tasks, all leading towards progression. But it doesn't stop there, as the book gives you customized scenarios in chronological order that offer clarity on what exactly you need to do. In addition to all of this, there is an extensive collection of documents that are included — everything from templates and instructional guides to examples and video tutorials.
Again, I don't have ALL the answers, but I do have some, which, combined with my desire to help more musicians than I presently can, is why I am in the position that I'm in. I would have loved to have a resource like this when I was coming up as an independent musician and I really hope this is a game changer for the music industry.
We're about to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the project, something that makes me queasy just thinking about it. I have been on the fence about KS from the start; while I think it's actually a great platform to help projects that extend the bounds of creativity come to fruition, you're still begging for money, which I am not a fan of. I started The Counter Rhythm Group out of pocket and, while I would love to do the same for this, the costs are astronomical to produce a good (like this) vs. a service, and there is no way I can handle that at the moment.
But then I started to realize that how important crowd funding is to something like this. Getting people to support this extends beyond the monetary value (more backing = cheaper book costs to users), because when someone backs this project it means that they believe in what we are doing and that it's necessary. That is a very humbling thought to someone who has essentially shut himself away from the masses since starting this project and it makes this knot in my stomach start to slightly ease up.
Here I am about to enter the most important month of my life, one that will dictate at least the rest of the year, with the amount of sleep dwindling with each approaching night. I encourage you to read the story and watch the video at my Kickstarter page and if you feel compelled to, contribute and/or share.
Again, I am grateful for what I do and the fact that I get to do it every day, even if it means I get to help only a few. I love music more than most things in this world and I know many of you share that same sentiment. Thank you for reading. Here we go.
Brian Penick will be guest blogging for CityBeat monthly, leading up to the fall release of Musicians' Desk Reference. For more on the project, visit the official site here.
Contemporary "Newgrass" kings Yonder Mountain String Band return to the area tonight for an all-ages, 8:30 p.m. show at Covington's Madison Theater. Tickets are $25. Opening the show is the very cool Lake Street Dive, a "jazz-schooled, DIY-motivated and classically pop obsessed" quartet that formed at Boston's New England Conservatory. Check out this clip of the group performing the Jackson 5 classic "I Want You Back."
In an interview with CityBeat's Brian Baker, YMSB's guitarist/vocalist Adam Aijala said fans might hear a new song or two at tonight's show. As for when you might hear a new album with new material, Aijala said the members have been having trouble finding time to get in the studio between familial obligations and touring. Read the full interview here and check out the group's 2010 appearance on CBS's Late Late Show. (There will be a pre- and post-show party at Stanley's Pub, which is also offering a bus ride to and from the Madison show. The CEA-winning Rumpke Mountain Boys will perform.)
• Eclectic NYC Indie Rock troupe Mice Parade marches into MOTR Pub tonight for a free, 10 p.m. appearance, the second date on its current tour. Formed as a solo project by Adam Pierce at the end of the '90s, Mice Parade has featured various band members since and nearly every successive release has shown growth and a different side of Pierce's writing. Candela, Mice Parade's latest addition to its already stacked discography (released this past Tuesday), is one of Pierce's most compelling releases to date, showcasing a fascinating, psychedelic brand of "Shoegaze" Pop that is as unpredictable as it is riveting.
Check out CityBeat's preview of the show here. Below is the first single/video from Candela, "This River Has A Tide."

One of Cincinnati's finest Indie acts, the brilliant Bad Veins, has split in two. Last night, BV's singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist Benjamin Davis took to the group's website to announce that founding member, drummer Sebastien Schultz, has decided to "move on from his time with Bad Veins."
Schultz — previously the drummer for local Indie rockers Cathedrals — had been a member of Bad Veins since almost the very beginning; Davis' first Bad Veins show was a solo affair opening for late Cincy duo wil-o-ee. As the pair told me for a 2008 CityBeat cover story, Schutlz was at the show (though he left early) and joined shortly after. He's played on all of BV's releases, including the most recent LP, The Mess We've Made, and toured extensively with Davis for the past five-plus years.
Thankfully for BV fans, this is not the end of the group. "The show must go on!" Davis said in his website post, expressing excitement for Bad Veins' future:
"I'm going to use this opportunity to do something I've been thinking about for a while, and take Bad Veins in a bigger direction, adding others members, bass, keyboard etc. I've already received a number of offers from musicians to join but haven't made any decisions yet. If anyone has any recommendations, hit me up! The plan is to get back on the road this spring!"
We had heard rumblings about the split prior to this past Sunday's Cincinnati Entertainment Awards. Davis ended up opening the show solo (with taped backing), closing his set with a great, orchestral version of The Muppets' "Rainbow Connection." (The CEA show was filmed and will be airing locally on cable; a special, limited-edition DVD will also be available — stay tuned.)
Bad Veins is booked to play an all-ages show presented by the Counter Rhythm Group on Feb. 16 at Rohs Street Cafe in Clifton Heights along with PUBLIC and The Ridges. More info is available here.
On Sunday night, hundreds of local musicians — as well as the many of the fans who love them — had Covington's Madison Theater packed to capacity to celebrate the 16th annual Cincinnati Entertainment Awards.
It was another love fest, as the music, laughs, camaraderie and drinks flowed throughout the tight three-hour ceremony/party CityBeat founded over a decade and a half ago as a means of honoring Greater Cincinnati's music makers (and, originally, local theater artists and productions).
Though it has lessened over the years as more people have grown to understand the CEAs better, there is still plenty of griping about the awards every year. The vast majority of complaints are about who gets nominated. It's understandable in light of the talent that is overlooked annually. Having so many talented and deserving artists in our city making quality music is a good problem to have. But if every worthy musical act in the Tri-State area were to be nominated for a CEA each year, the categories would include dozens of nominees and the show itself would have to be a sleepover affair. You think the Oscars are too long? Sit through one 16-hour CEA show and you'll be begging for a witty Billy Crystal musical number.
Like every year, the sport of CEA bashing is quickly forgotten once inside the venue for the ceremony. The awards celebration is the one time of the year where fellow musicians from every genre — some friends already, some friends-to-be, others perhaps only known via social media messages — gather in one place. There doesn't seem to be a ton of competitive spite within our music scene and the musicians I've talked and worked with, for the most part, are always pretty down to earth. (As if on cue, the griping returned right after the show — a comment on Sunday night's blog post featuring the winners of this year's awards deemed the whole program an embarrassment. Sixteen years of my life, wasted! Oh, anonymous trolls, where would you be without the internet?)
The CEAs can't help but become a communal love fest. (Yes, the drinking probably helps this quite a bit, as well.) In general, there seems to be a lot of internal support amongst local musicians, and it feels like external support and appreciation (outside of jerky, anonymous comments) is on an upswing. The CEAs are always a great reflection of that community spirit.
Ben Davis of Indie Pop duo Bad Veins kicked off the CEAs with his trademark taped accompaniment, but without bandmate, drummer Sebastien Schultz. Davis' performance was still compelling, capped off by that timeless ode to magic and mystery, The Muppets' chestnut, "Rainbow Connection." The singer/multi-instrumentalist set the tone (and the bar) for the night's performances, which included plenty of revelations and some fun, novel surprises.
Those unexpected moments are always the performance highlights of any awards show and this year's CEA lineup and production provided loads of highlights. Local Boogie Woogie torchbearer Ricky Nye rumbled through a great set of rollicking Blues, building up to a cool collaborative climax as Blake Taylor and Jonathan Reynolds of fellow CEA "Blues" category nominees 46 Long joined the pianist/singer. Nye and 46 Long had been embroiled in a mock online feud leading up to the show. Music heals! (Nye ended up winning the category.)
International Punk sensations The Dopamines gave the show a jolt with their explosive performance, launching into Guided By Voices' "A Salty Salute," but only after bassist Jon Weiner managed to insult nerds and "old fucks" in his introduction (they're "Punk," he reminded everyone later). From there, the trio launched into a mini-set of their own adrenalized anthems with fiery swagger. Fans were made.
The same can be said for singer Jess Lamb, the soulful vocalist who wowed the crowd with a few hypnotic songs, joined by her guitarist and bassist (who doubled on throbbing kick-drum). The sparse set-up belied the soaring sounds conjured, guided by Lamb's remarkable voice. Lamb was nominated for a CEA in the R&B/Funk/Soul category, a testament to her unique sound, which comes closer to resembling Florence and the Machine than, say, Usher. We may need to create an "Alternative/Soul/Rock" category to accommodate Lamb next year.
The Hip Hop/Rock band Gold Shoes are also keen hybridizers, and their CEA performance was a great display of the group's unique spin on Hip Hop fusion. The band provides a dynamic backdrop that's spiced with elements of Funk, Rock, Pop, Jazz and beyond. But the group isn't just providing a playground for frontman Buggs Tha Rocka to unleash his tight, captivating flow. The group writes melodic songs with strong, unique chorus hooks. Their CEA performance was a clinic on how to combine Hip Hop with other types of music without sounding like a cheap Pop grab (" … featuring Adam Lavine!"), Gym Class Heroes or, God help us all, Limp Bizkit.
The Cincinnati USA Music Heritage Foundation, which provided a great experience for VIP ticket buyers in the balcony, reminded everyone of the Queen City's place in shaping popular music with a segment presented by the group's president, musician Marvin Hawkins. After talking a bit about the organization's plans to continue honoring the area's rich musical past in 2013 (expect a lot of King Records-related events in honor of the locally-based groundbreaking label's 70th anniversary), Hawkins joined a host of local Roots musicians for a spin through a pair of songs from the recent collection, The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams, a project spearhead by Bob Dylan that involved writing songs from a cache of unearthed lyrics written by the American music icon. The all-star band assembled — including Magnolia Mountain's Mark Utley and Renee Frye, David Rhodes Brown and Sylvia Mitchell — expertly played songs they had recorded at the Music Heritage Foundation's downtown headquarters, in the same space once occupied by Herzog studios, the site where Williams recorded "Lovesick Blues" and other classics.
The CEA show itself ran smoothly and first-time host Ted Clark proved to be a great fit for the show. Clark's deadpan, sardonic humor — familiar to those who flock to his "live talk shows" at MOTR Pub — was reminiscent of Zach Galifianakis and sometimes he had great lines that were maybe to subtle for the CEA's "party atmosphere." But from those of us paying attention — bravo, Mr. Clark.
There was an array of entertaining acceptance styles from the winners, ranging from choked-up and sincere to pumped-up and enthusiastic to more matter-of-fact. Wussy had a huge night, taking home the Album of the Year (for Strawberry) and Artist of the Year CEAs, capped by some funny lines while accepting. Drummer Joe Klug joked that, for anyone doubting they deserved the Artist award, Wussy "played Little Rock, Ark., four times in the past year."
The award presenters — a collection of local music supporters and personalities, mostly from radio and press outlets, as well as sponsor reps — did a great job hammering home the "support local music" message of the CEAs' mission. But presenter and CityBeat Arts and Culture Editor Jac Kern provided one of the funniest bits in CEA history with her tribute to Beyonce — via a soon-cut-off lip-synced performance of the National Anthem.
Culture Queer capped off the show (or warmed up the after party?) with a set that captured the fun of the night, rocking out a trio of quirky, animated Electro Indie Art Pop gems with their trademark film backdrop. The sprightly CEA trophy hostesses came out for some dancing on finale "Born Again," their funky get-ups matching CQ's twitchy, offbeat anthem — and the jubilant, colorful energy of the entire night — perfectly.
Click here to see who won what and here for some photos from the event. The CEAs were filmed this year and will be airing on local cable soon. Keep an eye on this blog for dates and times.
After a run of over 14 years, the popular "Monday Salsa Night" at Corryville club The Mad Frog — featuring local nine-piece Salsa ensemble Tropicoso (and weekly free dance lessons) — will come to an end this coming Monday (Jan. 28).
"The change is of course bittersweet," says Tropicoso's Nicholas Radina (who also tours with Over the Rhine and has performed with several local Latin groups, including his own ¡Zumba!), "but (we're) proud that we held a wonderful 'house gig' for so long in Cincinnati."
A press release describes the "Monday Salsa Night" finale as the start of a "break" for the event, though it's unclear if or when it would return (it also refers to Monday's show as being the "finale"). Part of the reason given for the "hiatus" is that, though it has worked for over 14 years, fans were asking for an earlier start time, since so many people have to get up Tuesday for work.
In response, Tropicoso has arranged for a new regular gig at the club, set to begin next month. "Friday Salsa Night" — featuring Tropicoso and everything fans have loved about the night — will take place at The Mad Frog on the second Friday of every month. The new night debuts March 9.
This Monday's finale starts with dance lessons at 9 p.m. Tropicoso — which was nominated in the "World" category of the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards eight times (including this year), winning twice — starts at 10 p.m. Tickets are $5 and the event is open to Salsa lovers ages 18 and up.
The band has started a Facebook page — "Mad Frog Salsa Night Memories" — and is asking attendees to share their favorite memories.

Fossil Discoveries
Did You Know?
In 1922, Fossil Cycad National Monument, in South Dakota, was established as the third NPS area to preserve fossils, however by the mid 1930s all the fossils visible at the surface had been removed, leaving nothing for visitors to see. As a result, congress removed Fossil Cycad National Monument from the National Park System in 1957.

UPDATE, Saturday, June 16 @ 12:00 noon:
All three groups of riders got off to a great start. The third group, riding in the 10K course, were the last group to start promptly at 10 a.m., and that's the group shown in our photos.
And about that party, the word from Bob Switzgable, owner of Ski Sundown:
"The after-ride party is OPEN TO ALL! Come on down with your family, and enjoy the party!"
Donations for the Village will be welcome, of course.
Ski Sundown will be seeing a different kind of action on Saturday when it hosts 'The Village Ride,' a cycling event that is expected to draw 400 participants to the ski resort.
The event includes three different rides through the Litchfield Hills, each accommodating different skill levels:
- The 100K ride: registration is at 7 a.m., with the ride starting at 8 a.m. The course takes the riders into Massachussets and then loops back to Ski Sundown; click here to view the course.
- The 50K ride: registration is at 8 a.m., with the ride starting at 9 a.m. The course takes riders into Colebrook and loops back to Ski Sundown; click here to view the course.
- The 10K ride: registration opens at 9 a.m., with the ride starting at 10 a.m. The course takes riders into Barkhamsted and then loops back to Ski Sundown; click here to view the course.
Once riders cross the finish line, they'll be treated to a post-ride party with food, music by The Colby's and Flipper Dave, and beer provided by Thomas Hooker, a co-sponsor of the ride. There will also be a "Rail Jam" – snow in June! – along with the CT Whale Hockey team Slap Shot Cage and Bounce Houses.
With perfect weather in the forecast, the Village Ride is lining up to be a memorable event. Be sure to make way for the riders and cheer them on as they make their way through town!
Proceeds from the ride will benefit the Village, an organization dedicated to supporting children in need in the Greater Hartford area.

The Miami Dolphins are just 2.5 weeks away from getting back on the football field….and honestly, it can't get here soon enough! When the Dolphins return to the practice field, there is a chance they could have just one more receiver in the mix. On Thursday, the NFL will hold it's supplemental draft. For those of you unfamiliar with the supplemental draft, it is comprised of collegiate players that were ineligible for April's draft. Usually, this is made up of players that were transfers or had legal issues that prevented them from taking part of the April Draft.
So what does this have to do with the Dolphins? Well, according to minicamp reports, the Dolphins receivers were underwhelming AND there happens to be a wide receiver that could help the Dolphins. Wide receiver, Josh Gordon will be available in the supplemental draft. Gordon is a 6-4, 220 lbs wideout who scouts think would have been a 2nd or 3rd round pick. During Robert Griffin III's sophomore year at Baylor, Gordon was one of his favorite targets, racking up over 700 yards and 7 TDs. Gordon is expected to run in the 4.4 range at his Pro-Day tomorrow in Houston. He was arrested in 2011 for marijuana possession and subsequently transferred to Utah. He sat out the 2012 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
I'm sure the Dolphins have scouted this kid and they certainly know better than any of us, how good the talent pool is in their locker room. At this point though, the only receivers that seem like 'locks' for the roster are Davone Bess, Brian Hartline, Legadu Naanee, and most likely, Chad Ochocinco. That leaves 1-2 spots on the roster for these receivers to compete for: Clyde Gates, Roberto Wallace, Marlon Moore, Julius Pruitt, Jeff Fuller, Rishard Matthews, and BJ Cunningham. That is a lot of inexperience, but also not a lot of high end talent (at least on the surface). Clyde Gates is the highest drafted receiver of that group, going last year in the 4th round.
Adding Gordon might be a wise move, but only if he can keep his nose clean and can play to the potential he showed, early in his college career. Experts believe that Gordon will go for about a 3rd round pick. The way the supplemental draft works is that each team puts in a 'bid' for a player if they want him. So the Dolphins could submit a 3rd round pick for him and if no other team has a higher submission, the Dolphins would get Gordon and would sacrifice their 3rd round pick in the 2013 draft. I'm not advocating giving up a 3rd rounder, BUT the Dolphins do have 2 third rounders next year, thanks to the Brandon Marshall trade. Ultimately, it will depend on whether or not the Dolphins have a high enough grade on Gordon to justify using a draft pick from 2013.

In this adventure, a young woman travels across Europe in search of her brother who was listed as missing in action during WW II. He had earlier told her that should he ever disappear, he could be found on a certain tiny island. She and her brother's girl friend head off and meet a strange old man. Though his boat is 300 miles from the nearest sea, she asks him to take her to this strange "dream" island. Suddenly a violent storm comes up and the land is flooded. The little boat is flushed out to sea. The hapless drifters end up saved by the Coast Guard who returns them to the brother who has at long last returned. Songs include: "Give Me the Simple Life," "I Wish I Could Tell You," "Into the Sun" (Harry Ruby, Rube Bloom), and "Who Knows?" (Don Raye, Gene De Paul).

PHARR — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Pharr International Bridge arrested a female Pharr resident on charges of alien smuggling..
On June 29, a green Mercury Villager minivan driven by a 36-year-old female United States citizen arrived at the Pharr/Reynosa International bridge with four minors. She showed agents her U.S. passport and birth certificates for four minor children traveling with her. During a secondary inspection, it was discovered that one of the children, an 11-year-old male, was a Mexican national without documents.
Additionally, officers at the Hidalgo International Bridge arrested two males posing as U.S. citizens this weekend. CBP officers at the Hidalgo International Bridge arrested a 24-year-old and a 41-year-old man, both Mexican nationals from Tamaulipas, who agents say attempted to enter the U.S. by claiming to be citizens.
All three individuals were arrested and incarcerated pending an appearance before a U.S. Federal Magistrate on criminal charges for violation of U.S. immigration law. The three minor United States children were released to an adult family member and the minor Mexican national boy was released to a U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement facility where he will be temporarily housed.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Most Wisconsin Indians get at least some benefit from the casinos their tribes operate, but the amount varies greatly. Gannett Wisconsin Media examined mandatory audits submitted to the federal government. They showed that in 2012, members of the Forest County Potawatomi got $80,000 each in profits from their casinos in Milwaukee and Carter. The next-highest payments were about $12,000 to each Ho-Chunk tribal member. Menominee Indians received the smallest reported casino profits, around $75 each.
Some tribes reported annual pay-outs of $500 to $2,000. Others did not list their member payments in their 2012 audits.
Gannett, which operates 10 Wisconsin daily newspapers, said tribes with the lowest payments are concerned that the money can cause drug-and-alcohol problems within the tribal communities. Potawatomi officials said the payments reflect wise management and re-investments in its casinos over the last quarter century.
Gannett said the Potawatomi's gaming operations netted $226-million in 2012 -- and its 1,400 members received about half those profits. The Potawatomi's Milwaukee casino has a monopoly in that market -- something the tribe has fiercely protected in its long opposition to a new Menominee tribal casino about 30 miles down the road in Kenosha.

A little disappointed I ordered these and the matching earrings as a gift. I thought there were both rather small.... not as far as length goes but compared to the picture, they look more like childrens jewelry than something nice for adults January 12, 2013
Beautiful I ordered this and the earrings to match, in sapphire (my birthstone and an almost perfect match to my wedding color - horizon). I only ordered one just in case I didn't like them or they looked cheap. I can't tell you how thrilled I am! They are beautiful! I am ordering another set today for both of my bridesmaids! It's something they can wear after the wedding too. September 25, 2012

Handwriting Analysis Workshop at Del City Library
Here's a frightening thought—the legibility of your signature can tell people the kind of person you really are. Are you open and cheerful, or closed and secretive?
Find out what your handwriting says about you at the Handwriting Analysis workshop at the Del City Library, 4509 SE 15th, on Saturday, August 16th from 1:00 to 2:00pm.
"Carolyn Emery, who is an experienced handwriting analyst, will be on hand to show us how it's done," said Del City librarian Sam Weehunt. "This isn't pseudo-science or voodoo. It's been defined as a scientific method of understanding a person's personality by the strokes and patterns of his or her handwriting."
So what does your handwriting say about you? Are you creative, considerate, or organized?
Curious? Come find some answers.
The Del City Library Handwriting Analysis Workshop is designed for adults. It's free and open to the public.
For more information, call the Del City Library at 672-1377.

Annoying alarm clock that's designed to jump off the nightstand and roll around making a racket till you catch it gets slightly less annoying with the addition of preloaded National Public Radio voices.
That's right--a package full of lasers for your loved one.
Clock concept bugs you with puzzles as a wake-up call. The prospect of having an Alex Trebek experience every morning may sound unappealing, but it will get the job done.
