Here is an unexpected bit of good news: Crime continues to drop around the country. Though many criminal justice experts had expected crime to rise during a deep and wrenching recession, the opposite has happened, according to The Wall Street Journal:
Violent crime fell significantly last year in cities across the U.S., according to preliminary federal statistics, challenging the widely held belief that recessions drive up crime rates.
The incidence of violent crimes such as murder, rape and aggravated assault was down 5.5% from 2008, and 6.9% in big cities. It fell 2.4% in long-troubled Detroit and plunged 16.6% in Phoenix, despite a perception of rising crime that has fueled an immigration backlash.
The early figures, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, indicate a third straight year of decreases, along with a sharply accelerating rate of decline.
"It represents a break in the pattern of the relationship between crime increases and economic downturns," said Richard Rosenfeld, criminology professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Violent crime rose nearly 5% in 1991, the FBI said.
The FBI said property crime fell 4.9% last year, according to the early data, from more than 13,000 police departments.
As the story notes, the drop includes Arizona:
In Phoenix, police spokesman Trent Crump said, "Despite all the hype, in every single reportable crime category, we're significantly down." Mr. Crump said Phoenix's most recent data for 2010 indicated still lower crime. For the first quarter of 2010, violent crime was down 17% overall in the city, while homicides were down 38% and robberies 27%, compared with the same period in 2009.
Arizona's major cities all registered declines. A perceived rise in crime is one reason often cited by proponents of a new law intended to crack down on illegal immigration. The number of kidnappings reported in Phoenix, which hit 368 in 2008, was also down, though police officials didn't have exact figures.
Over at the libertarian Cato Institute, writer Griswold reminds readers that he's been saying that all along.
Meanwhile, though, a group of police officials from around the country is worried about the plans some states have to emulate Arizona's unjust — and perhaps unconstitutional — law. They say that brutal intimidation of immigrants will cause crime to rise. From the WaPo:
Arizona's new crackdown on illegal immigration will increase crime in U.S. cities, not reduce it, by driving a wedge between police and immigrant communities, police chiefs from several of the state's and the nation's largest cities said Tuesday.
The new Arizona law will intimidate crime victims and witnesses who are illegal immigrants and divert police from investigating more serious crimes, chiefs from Los Angeles, Houston and Philadelphia said. They will join their counterparts from Montgomery County and a half-dozen other U.S. cities in meeting Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Wednesday morning to discuss the measure.
"This is not a law that increases public safety. This is a bill that makes it much harder for us to do our jobs," Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said. "Crime will go up if this becomes law in Arizona or in any other state."
The delegation was organized by the Police Executive Research Forum, a membership organization of police chiefs that functions as an independent think tankin Washington. The group's meeting with Holder comes as 15 states are considering their own versions of the Arizona law, which defines illegal immigration as criminal trespassing and requires police to request documents of anyone they stop and have a "reasonable suspicion" is in the country illegally.
I don't expect any of these well-reasoned, rational arguments to stop the immigrant-bashing. The country is in the grips of an irrational nativism, made worse by the recession. The hysteria over illegal immigration will continue unabated, in Arizona and elsewhere.

Yet Obama's home district in Chicago is still among the most violent areas in the nation. Amazing a man that has never had a real job, with one of the most violent, broke, uneducated, depressing districts in the nation managed to steal the Presidency.

Well of course crime in Arizona is down — their illegal immigration population has been dropping for the past couple of years, due to the economy and stricter enforcement of immigration laws. It's cause-and-effect. From the Arizona Republic story earlier this year:
Arizona has seen the sharpest decline in undocumented population of any state, losing 18 percent, or more than 100,000, of its illegal immigrants in 2008, according to a new government report.

Having illegal immigrants in Arizona are crimes themselves. They are criminals. Period. Do you have no respect for our laws, Ms Liberal? Or do you just think "Anything goes" like the old hippies of the 60's, and law and order be damned?

1. Irrelevant if crime is down across the country. Is that supposed to make illegal immigration ok? Its still illegal
2. Maybe the LA police chief should worry about keeping the celebs in LaLa land safe and leave Arizona alone. States rights anyone?
3. CT- how is the immigration law "unconstitutional"? Please explain.

CT – what part of the word illegal do you not understand? I mean really….
Now I'll ask my question from last week that you never answered…
Should people that live in the US illegally be punished? yes or no….
It's a simple question – your a smart person – just answer it yes or no.

Being the wild and crazy, cheap thrill seeker that I am…..I'm going to spend the rest of the week breaking stupid Georgia laws…..
All sex toys are banned. (Does Hersheys syrup count?)
It is illegal to use profanity in front of a dead body which lies in a funeral home or in a coroners office. (Damn!)
Members of the state assembly cannot be ticketed for speeding while the state assembly is in session. (Not fair!!!)
Donkeys may not be kept in bathtubs. (This might be fun to try)
No one may carry an ice cream cone in their back pocket if it is Sunday.
(Pew meltdown?)
NOW ARIZONA, has it's fair share of dumb laws.
Hunting camels is prohibited. (Could Cheney bait a camel field?)
Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs. (that sounds familiar)
When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person posseses.(the same weapon or the same type of weapon?)
You may not have more than two dildos in a house. (battery operated jealousy?)
It is illegal to manufacture imitation cocaine. (good idea)
Any misdemeanor committed while wearing a red mask is considered a felony. (pointy white hoods ok?)
Point of all this….
I think Arizona just added to the dumb law list.
Thanks to the Dumblaw website.

Straw man argument classifying opponents of illegal immigration as bashing ALL immigrants: Check.
Cynthia, please google "straw man fallacy" and read the first link. It would really help you and make you not seem so unintelligent and uninformed.
"The new Arizona law will intimidate crime victims and witnesses who are illegal immigrants "
Completely False. Any illegal immigrant who reports or witnesses a crime and wishes to share that information with a police officer will not be engaged in a "lawful stop, detention, or arrest". Therefore, the law does not apply to them.

The Arizona law is a copy of the federal law. How is that harsh? Oh wait, they may actually be enforcing it, unlike the feds. Why does the left always ignore the ILLEGAL part of immigration.

Good afternoon all. "Violent crime" is not a reason to target illegal aliens. "Violent crime" is a reason to target violent criminals, who mostly are not illegal aliens. Having established a level of ideological simpatico with our gracious hostess, I now have to disagree with her thesis; I will argue by analogy.
Ronald Reagan destroyed communism – admittedly with moral support from Pope John Paul and Margaret Thatcher – mostly because the communists thought he was crazy. Crime is down in Arizona because the criminals think the Arizona police are crazy. While I think the deviants wrong in their driving perception in both examples, it is the perception itself that leads to the unexpectedly good result.

You think AZ law is harsh, check out Mexico's immigration policies and what they do to central american fence jumpers.
Second, I don't see whas harsh. You illegal you illegal. I came here legally, why should I have to jump through hoops and law breakers get a pass. I know you want to pad the democratic party with votes, but this is the wrong way to go about it.

I can see the reason for the camel ordinance in Arizona, or rather the historical reason. Back in the days of the Wild West, the government tried to introduce camels for the soldiers in the frontier, with the thought that since they were bred for desert travel, then they would be useful as mounts against the Indians in our desert areas. It didn't work, but the U.S. Army then had about 100 camels with no use for them, so they were cared for at forts around the West, including Arizona. Since they were government property, it was illegal to hunt and kill them.
May 26th, 2010
1:48 pm
Just imagine how much fewer crime there would be if all the illegal aliens were removed from Arizona. It would be going down at an even faster rate.
May 26th, 2010
1:49 pm
By the way, the soldiers who cared for these camels were a pretty disgruntled lot, since they had to lug hay and other feed to the camel pens everyday, back and forth. This was probably the source of the phrase "I walk a mile for my camels!"

You, however, may be wishing to slow down time.
Washington (CNN) – An internal Republican National Committee document obtained by CNN paints a damning picture of the committee's financial standing compared to the past five election cycles.
The document, pulled together during a recent review sparked by concerns over RNC spending practices, said the committee had $12.5 million in cash on hand at the end of April.
By comparison, the average cash on hand at the end of April from 2002-2009 was $40.4 million. And that average includes the odd numbered years when there are fewer election contests.
Looking only at even-numbered years, this year's $12.5 million end of April COH is less than one-third the amount the RNC had on hand on April 30 for the 2002 ($47 million) and the 2006 ($44.6 million) midterms.
Money is require to run successful campaigns.

Seems like this issue has everyone pretty clear about where they stand on the immigration issue! However, I would like to raise a few questions.
First, we can all agree that the lack of control over our border is a basic flaw in our sense of national security, however, I never here this debate address the hundreds of thousands of small business owners who knowingly hire illegal immigrants to take advantage of the low wage labor! Would the flow of illegal immigrants be so pervasive if they knew they wouldn't find work?
Second, can any of us really suggest that we "round up" all illegal immigrants (roughly 10-11 MM) and send them back? How? What would be the economic impact of deporting millions of people, many of them, who have assimilated into this culture, worked hard and paid taxes! Do we then buy them out of the houses they own? They cars they own? Perhaps cut them a check for all the social security payments they made each month! Not to mention the grinding halt our economy would face if we 'shipped out' the labor force which is pre-dominately the force beyond the building of our homes and business', the cleaning of our homes and the preparation of the food we joyously pay to eat!
This is not rational thinking! Even "W" knew better than that!! How about some thoughtful responses instead of the classic xenophobic mania!!

10% of the people are unemployed, what does your President do?
So what does $92,000 an hour buy you in food? If you're President Barack Obama it gets you a plate full of hors d'oeuvres, a salad and ribs.
Mr. Obama's 19-hour whirlwind Bay Area fundraising trip filled Sen. Barbara Boxer's wallet with $1.75 million and he used a $17,600 a person dinner at the Getty Mansion in San Francisco to bring in the big bucks.
The president's 80 dinner guests were treated to an elaborate meal prepared by chef Jennifer Johnson, according to SF Gate, who got the scoop on the menu.
Diners were treated to quail egg with caviar and salmon ceviche with jicama and avocado on a tortilla chip
as their starting hors d'oeuvres. Next they were served a spring onion-asparagus tartlet with Meyer lemon vinaigrette-dressed frisee salad.

Point It by Dieter Graf
A common fear about traveling is coming face-to-face with a unbreakable communication barrier. Not being able to speak the local language can be intimidating but with Point It in your pocket, you can go ahead and start packing your bags.
Jump down to see why we never tire of this useful tool...
Point It isn't a regular language dictionary; it's a picture dictionary. The idea is that whether you are hungry for baked beans or simply want to check out some performance art, all you need to do is point it out in the book and the friendly locals will show you on your way.
Yet we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that Point It is also hilarious. The dated photos and the helpful but random groupings of scenarios and items combine to make this book worthy of a good chuckle.
Point It makes a great gift for someone traveling abroad. They might laugh at first but they'll be glad to have it when they find themselves needing pantyhose, cigarettes, and/or snow chains.

This is an excellent idea!
It is a good idea. But . . . how can you understand/follow directions in another language if you can't even ask for them?
yeah... i think if you're traveling to another country you should travel with someone who knows the language enough to get by, or you should take at least an introductory course. here in boston they are offered in several languages for a low price at several community education programs.
Some of my fondest travel memories are of working toward communication by pointing and gestures plus a sprinkling of language, usually most effective in food places. Usually, people appreciate the attempts and take it with good humor. There's no guarantee that we get exactly what we think we're getting, but that's part of the adventure.
closertotheocean, I completely agree about taking an intro language course. However, I think after I learned to say "I would like....." in another language, I could point to the picture of the snow chains. Doncha think?
I have this book - I ordered it from MoMa thinking it was going to be funny.. i was disappointed.. you can find it at Urban Outfitter's too..
This is most useful in places where English is uncommon and where there are many dialects, e.g., China. I've been to many, many countries and could almost always mime what I wanted, but I had problems in some major tourist locales in China, where this proved helpful. The physical health things would be useful should you get sick.
Disclosure: I've known the author for decades and sent him the post card shown on one of the pages. This self-published book has sold 1.5 million copies and the author has, literally, been everywhere on earth.

If it's meant to be, it will be.
The story behind the cable-knit sweater that Louis and Harry share.
Fluff galore.
This was written for my own selfish reasons, but I hope that you guys will enjoy it as well. :)
And you probably noticed, I completely gave up on trying to find a creative title.
(A sweater is also known as jumper.)
One of Louis' worst fears was growing up.
Others were terrified of hairy tarantulas or plunging heights, but what this lad feared the most was losing the lighthearted and radiant feeling of being young. And so he always tried to be optimistic and to make stupid jokes in order to feel like that little kid once again.
But as he sat alone in the flat, reading all the birthday cards he was getting, he had never felt older in his life. All the pieces of vibrant paper all had one thing common, the number twenty plastered all over them in bold and ugly fonts.
He had never felt more like crying then.
It was a weird feeling, knowing that it was something silly to be upset over, but nonetheless knowing that it was something that he was completely defenseless against. Being twenty years old was something almost traumatic to Louis Tomlinson, who felt like it was more like some divine checkpoint in his life, starting the path to adulthood.
It also wasn't helping that he was completely alone, given that Harry was out with Gemma, who finally had to chance to visit her little brother in London.
The sun was setting low in the sky, its vibrant rays painting a multitude of mesmerizing colors against the azure background. Louis sighed and dramatically thought of how the sunset was a symbol of how his life was slowly disappearing to the end of the sky, never to come back again.
"God, Louis." he facepalmed, realizing what he had just thought about. "You're not eighty. You're just twenty."
He glanced over at their living room wall, looking at the collage that Harry and he had made of their goofiest moments. The entire space was covered in neatly spaced rows of simple black picture frames, filled with a multitude of their silly faces. He walked closer to the wall as his mood lifted a little bit from looking at the masterpiece on the wall.
They both found an odd interest in framing paparazzi photos in which they looked funny in, which none of the boys really understood. Better said, they were fascinated with their respective "derp" faces.
And Louis was temporarily cured of his gerontophobia, eyes wide at the collection of photos that they had.
Soon, he was in tears realizing just how meaningless and dumb all the pictures were, although he loved them just the same.
He suddenly felt an irrational want to see Harry. He never failed to make him feel better.
But a glance at the clock mentioned that it would be another hour until he could see the curly haired boy again, so he paced around the flat, not feeling quite as depressed, but surely not as dapper as usual.
He felt a slight shiver run through his spine and he rubbed his hands against his bare arms. The closest article of clothing he saw was one of Harry's sweaters, thrown over the side of the sofa. To be honest, he didn't really fancy the thing. It reminded him of something his grandma used to wear, and he was a little suspicious remembering how the thing used to a pristine white before.
But he was cold and far too lazy to go upstairs, so he pulled on the atrocious article of clothing.
The first thing he noticed was how it smelled absolutely and completely like Harry. He brought the sleeves up to his nose, and was filled with the unique combination of aftershave and cologne that immediately calmed his anxious side. And filled with the urge to flop down onto the couch and immerse himself completely in the delicious smell, he followed through.
"Fuck. You really are losing your mind." he mumbled, as he buried himself deeper into the material.
Even though it was quite ugly, the sweater was honestly great in all other aspects. Louis loved the way the soft sleeves were gently wrapped around his cold arms and how it was just long enough to cover the lower part of his hips. But the best part was feeling like how it was like getting a personal hug from Harry himself, even if the lad was gone.
He continued rolling in the sweater, laughing as he realized that he was probably not that old if he was rolling around like some demented kitten.
There was the characteristic sound of the lock being opened, and he shot up out of his odd position.
The door opened and Harry stepped in, hair windblown and cheeks rosy from the frosty air outside.
He was wide-eyed at the sight upon their sofa, and burst into laughter.
"What are you doing, Lou?" He guffawed, looking at how his hair was sticking up from the static of his sweater. He had retreated his arms inside the whole thing, flopping the empty sleeves around like a broken sprinkler.
"Being special." he declared, getting up. He ran into the younger boy with all his strength, arms still inside the sweater.
Harry tumbled back a few feet from the impact and stopped both of them from falling over by stepping his left foot back.
"Okay, okay. "He laughed at the bulky fluffball.
Louis stopped and stretched his arms out inside the sleeves and gave him such a genuine smile that Harry felt inclined to stand still and bask in how simply radiant he looked.
"What happened?" He asked, a little hesitant as to what could've happened to him.
"Nothing." He said, drawing back a little bit into himself, not quite wanting to share his odd fear with the younger boy.
Harry looked over at the couch and figured out what was wrong in an instant. From the angry way all the birthday cards that were scattered over the couch, he knew that Louis was dealing with slight angst over growing a little older.
"What?" Lou asked, seeing the pensive look on his face.
"If it makes you feel better, you look just as good as you did when I first met you." Harry said, pushing all the right buttons. "You don't seem a day older."
Louis gave him an unamused look, but the hidden smile broke through eventually.
And Harry couldn't help but to pull his special snowflake into a tight hug, finding it very amusing how the older boy was getting upset over something that was simply absurd to him. Louis was one of the most exuberant people he knew, and it was obvious that the older boy would never lose touch with his childish side, ever.
As Louis clung onto the warm chest in from of him, he closed his eyes and made a mental note to himself that Harry's hugs were possibly one of the best things in the world. They were even better now that the curly haired boy had grown a few inches, amidst the fact that his little Harry was now taller than him. The way his arms pulled him in so deeply lulled him into a calmness that no sweater could ever achieve.
And he realized then that among everyone he knew, Harry always gave him a feeling of experiencing something new and exciting. There were always little quirks that he showed every day, and the laughs and smiles that the younger boy emitted seemed to always lift his mood. He felt young around him.
"Thank you, Harry." Louis said quietly, pulling himself back from the embrace to look up at emerald eyes that held more emotions that he could count.
Harry stared down at surprise at the cerulean depths that were becoming a little watery around the edges. And he bit his lip as he thought that the older boy was still feeling down.
"I'm not upset." Lou laughed, hastily wiping away the moisture in his eyes.
It was the new appreciation that he had for Harry that was making him a little emotional.
"Don't cry, Lou." Harry mumbled, feeling a little unsteady himself. "If it makes you feel any better, you can have my sweater if you want."
Louis laughed as he raised the sleeve up to glance at the peculiar stitching, finding that it wasn't really so ugly after all. The style was still a little old for his tastes, but it would always remind him of someone who held a special place in his heart.
Thank you for reading!

The skiers, who police say hailed from New Jersey, Connecticut and Canada, left trails on Pico and Killington mountains in three groups.
All of the skiers emerged from the woods uninjured after being guided to safety by state police and other rescue agencies.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryBENNINGTON — A local man was killed in a one-car accident Saturday.

We are currently working our way toward becoming music composers/producers, but for now, as we are just getting things started, we are interpreting, reviewing, writing, and playing as much music and as many games as we can.
Our interests vary as much as our goals do. Among those interests include Music, Video Games, and a general discussion of things related to our lives. As we grow and learn, we expect to do many things with this company, but for right now this will be one way for us to communicate with people who have interests like ours and help us develop TenFox Productions to its full potential.
If you would like to contact us for any reason please email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Due to some rather hostile inboxes about sourcing our material, I'm going to put this disclaimer here that says: We do not always find the art from it's original source. In fact, we find a lot of it on several forums that we happen to be members of. Thus, we do not always have to source to each photo we post. If you have a link to a source that we can add to a picture we will gladly do so. Feel free to politely inbox them to us. There is no need to be rude. Thanks.

A Tampa, Florida woman has been arrested and charged with animal cruelty after authorities say she gave a dog a C-section; only she isn't a doctor. The arrest was the result of a multicounty investigation; the suspect is facing felony animal cruelty charges.
According to reports, Candace Patricia Hauser, 31, did not have a veterinarian license, but chose to give a pregnant Mastiff a C-section on March 4, 2014. Reports say that a woman brought the pregnant animal to Hauser for help with her delivery. Authorities say that when complications arose, Hauser gave the dog a C-section then closed the incision site with glue not used for medical purposes. The dog ultimately died shortly after. Fourteen puppies were delivered, thirteen of which survived.
The news has shocked the Tampa Bay community and news of the case is spreading nationwide.
Candace Patricia Hauser is being held in the Hillsborough County Jail.

Molten Feather isn't a buff you gain in the fight but rather feathers on the ground you pick up for buffs. I'm assuming they mean that Blazing Power (the haste buff) isn't removed immediately on Burnout (you keep Alysra's Razor, the crit buff, til it runs out). Notice it says "ignites at 50 energy" which I read as halfwayish through the burnout phase, allowing players to keep the haste buff longer.
Unless I'm reading it wrong :\
The haste/crit buff stays until it drops. With luck I can get 30 seconds of unmitigated ownage on the boss before it drops. The run speed increase is what drops immediately after tornadoes, and now that's been extended to allow us to get in position easier (I hate wasting time running when I can be throwing 1-second pyroblasts that always crit).

Rather than juggling a menu of spa services, the aesthetician at Eyebrows at Studio 54 focuses on just one area: the eyebrows. Using a twist of pure cotton thread, she sweeps away unwanted hair with controlled precision, shaping brows into sultry arches, going ultra-thin, or merely cleaning up their perimeter. Developed in ancient India, this threading technique requires no waxes or chemicals.
Since 1968, the team at Eldorado Hair Replacement Center have spent time researching all forms of hair additions, surgery, and homeopathic solutions to hair-loss.

One client is getting a haircut. Another rolls up their pant legs for a pedicure. In a private treatment room, an aesthetician applies a lemon-zest facial while a massage therapist elbows a muscle knot. This is a typical day at Indulge Salon. Inside the clean, elegant space, stylists and aestheticians combine their skills to make clients look and feel their best. But before they perform any of their signature services, the team consults with clients to learn about their beauty and relaxation goals.
The licensed massage therapist pampers muscles and drives stress from minds with an array of bodywork modalities.

Coconut Cream Pie

This looks great, not sure which coconut pie recipe to use. The pie pans can be found at any kitchen store online. I think king Arthur flour or chefs.com may have them.
rstarrlemaitre Posted: 06/13/12
The coconut custard filling is perfect - like a creamy coconut pudding, and I also enjoyed the pie crust, which is sweeter than most recipes. It was well suited to this chilled summer pie. Only used half the amount of sugar called for in the meringue, but still found it to be quite sweet enough! Wish I'd broiled a minute or two longer, and would sprinkle more coconut on top.

Harris had to leave because of family problems
By Phil Dean -
British Superbikes
12 October 2008 11:31
The paddock looked on in confusion yesterday as it was announced Karl Harris would not be riding for the remainder of the weekend and Superstock rider Jon Kirkham would take his seat on the Rob Mac racing Yamaha R1.
It later emerged that Harris had personal problems, and here's what team boss Rob McElnea had to say. "The whole team is totally gutted," said McElnea. "We were all on such a high, Karl had been riding so well, consistently fast all weekend. "We wish Karl well and hope things get sorted for him, it's such a shame that he won't get the chance to end this nightmare season on a high."

NRA says it will do its part to stop gun violence
WASHINGTON — After four days of self-imposed silence on the shooting that killed 26 people inside a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, the nation's largest gun rights lobby emerged Tuesday and promised "to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again."
The National Rifle Association explained its unusual absence "out of respect for the families and as a matter of common decency" after Friday's shooting that left dead 20 children, all ages 6 or 7.

Newspaper Editorials Laud CVS for Quitting Tobacco, Urge Other Retailers to Follow Suit
Sep 16, 2014
On September 3, CVS Health announced that it has ended tobacco sales for good at its 7,700 retail pharmacies. In doing so, CVS sent a powerful message: Responsible retailers — especially those that provide health care through pharmacies and clinics – should not be in the business of selling cigarettes and other tobacco products, the number one cause of preventable death.
Newspaper editorials across the country have applauded CVS and called on other retailers to follow CVS's example.

Los Angeles-based artist Marnie Weber has spent her career weaving music, performance, collage, photography and performance together into her own personal fictions.
Always heavily involved with the American alt-rock scene, Weber performed with The Party Boys and The Perfect Me in the 1980s before producing two solo albums, Woman with Bass in 1994 and Cry for Happy in 1996. She also designed the cover for Sonic's Youth's album, A Thousand Leaves. Her background is evidenced by her determination to incite a reaction from her audience.
More recently she established conceptual art rock group the Spirit Girls, which brings together 'a group of girls who died tragically in their youth and then come back to earth as spirits to perform in a band and to communicate through music'. This neo-gothic fairytale gave birth to several psychologically-charged artworks which disorientate the viewer. Emotional responses waver between happiness and sadness, amusement and tragedy, attraction and repulsion.
Mixing mainstream with counter-cultural elements, but also inspired by classic westerns and Surrealism, Marnie Weber's mythological world is populated with fantastic beasts and masked characters. Among the recurring figures are the clown, the doll and the bear. She describes them as friends or demons that follow her around. Her unique Surrealist lens is most trenchant in her videos, which she sees as 'moving dreamscapes'.
QThe White Review — You once said using a handheld camera lends your work an awkwardness, a stumbling quality. Why do you use this technique? What are the aesthetic issues?
AMarnie Weber — I intentionally try to have a humble, homemade look to my films; it feels more genuine to me. The camera works in combination with the characters' movements, at times reflecting the consciousness of the character in vision, at times reflecting my consciousness, and at times the consciousness of the camera operator. Sometimes, if we are lucky, the camera works by finding the mystical union of all involved. Since I act in the films rather than hold the camera myself, I have to rely on the magical moments of everything working in unison.
I also think that this approach allows the viewer to enter emotionally into my work. For example, I can address life's heavier issues, such as death, tragedy, birth without being so depressing. The film stock, the hand-held camera, the way of walking, the costumes, all of this combined with subtle humor, balances the dark and light. I like it when people say they don't know if they should laugh or cry when they see my films. Charlie Chaplin was a genius at this. He was making films in a very dark time in human history but gave people an escape while at the same time broaching issues such as poverty, loneliness, abandonment and loss with a sense of humor. He was also exploring movement in unison with the camera as if it were a dancing partner. On a different level, when the film is finished I think the homemade quality is a way of hopefully inspiring other people to make creative work in a way slick productions cannot. The work becomes a labour of love rather than a product of a huge production team.
QThe White Review — Spiritualism is important to your work. Where did your interest in it come from?
AMarnie Weber — Spiritualism was an interesting development in American history. It was the first time people considered the possibility that God was within themselves, rather than a controlling being from above. It also grew during the same time, and in the same region of New York, as the women's movement. It was the first time women were on stage and 'given a voice', so to speak, and the voices that came out were those of channeled spirits. Spiritualism was an empowering movement.
I'm very much interested in the parallel between spiritualism and entertainment, which may have come from my many years as a performance artist. The Spirit Girls is a work of fiction, a conceptual art piece of my own creation. The narrative is this: a group of girls have died tragically in their youth and then come back to earth as spirits to perform in a band and to communicate through music. We wear costumes, masks, wigs and have props, projections and other characters who join in to create a musical experience that is consciously visual. It started as a theatrical rock show inspired by the progressive rock shows of the Seventies, which I loved in my youth. I went to see bands like early Genesis, King Crimson, Yes, Bowie and the Spiders and I thought to myself, 'Where are the women?' So the Spirit Girls were a way to go back and fill that niche for me. I am the initiator and director but when we are playing the music, it develops into more of a collaboration.
QThe White Review — Throughout your work, animals are portrayed as cohabiting with dolls/humans. Is this intended to be utopian in any way?
AMarnie Weber — The animals act as alter egos, sometimes as spirit guides and also carry symbolism. Each animal represents something for me. For example, the bear is representative of power but also spirituality. In American Indian folklore, the bear is a symbol of spirituality and represents a delving into one's unconscious because the bear hibernates all winter as if involved in introspection. The bunny is an interesting character because it is not only a victim figure, but also a symbol of birth and fertility.
QThe White Review — Fairytales, circus themes and freak shows are a common feature of your work. What's the attraction?
AMarnie Weber — I see the characters that inhabit those worlds as challenging themselves through the exploration of the darkest realms of their subconscious. That is very heroic to me. It is a place of transformation rather than placid existence.
QThe White Review — You once compared your work to an exercise in acting class in which you put on a mask to express a true emotion, saying that through costumes and artifice, you are able to reach far greater depths of emotion in your art than can be reached showing everyday reality. How does this tie in to your use of masks?
AMarnie Weber — The current Spirit Girls masks are frightening because they don't have any expression. You can't read any emotions or what they are feeling. That way the audience has to create its own reading of the faces from within themselves, hopefully serving as a mirror. Humans need facial expression to feel comfortable and the faces seem strange and disturbing. You get used to it though.
QThe White Review — And what about your use of clowns? Where did the interest start?
AMarnie Weber — When I was a kid, I loved The Red Skelton Show. He performed as a poor downtrodden clown with a sad face. He would pull out his empty pockets and pretend to cry. This would in turn make me cry and say 'Poor him!' My mother would ask if she should turn it off but I would cry to have it stay on. It is this idea of simultaneous attraction and repulsion, but also the depth of emotion that clowns carry that appeals to me. Happy and sad clowns are like extensions of us. It is a cathartic release of our own pain to watch the humiliation of a clown. In my piece Giggle of Clowns, the group of clowns surrounds a flower-laden corpse, an effigy of the lead Spirit Girl. It is as if they lost their leader and were stuck in an existential quagmire of being cheerful. To be happy is a very dark journey.
QThe White Review — Beside your Ghost Clown, there's a focus on veiled figures and faces? I am thinking here about Antonio Corradini's Dama Velata (La Purita) (1720/25).
AMarnie Weber — Yes, I love that veiled figure. It has been inspirational for me. In the marble ghost clown, the shape is that of both a ghost and a clown but it also appears shrouded, like the way people throw white sheets over furniture when they go away for a long time. It is symbolic of being present yet absent at the same time, and also of being frozen in time. The shrouded veiled figure carries a rich poetic mystery and I was planning on doing more in marble.
QThe White Review — You once said 'I'm not afraid of cute'. What was it you meant by this exactly?
AMarnie Weber — Cute, soppy, sentimental; they can all be extended, can make the work even darker in my opinion. It is as if one is saying 'everything is alright' while knowing it is not.
QThe White Review — And what about camp? Is camp important to you?
AMarnie Weber — Yes, I don't really fear going overboard or having people feel that it is too much. I think there is a place for simple beautiful formal work but since my interest lies in what is theatrical, the work tends to be layer upon layer of information and backstory combined, which creates more of a baroque quality. It can be misinterpreted as naivety but it doesn't bother me. At the core I know what is best for me and for my work.
QThe White Review — Let's talk a little bit more about your collages. What is it that happens between two pictures when they are joined or juxtaposed?
AMarnie Weber — It creates a relationship that helps define or describe the other. It can also create drama or tension. It is very theatrical, much like creating a scene on an empty stage set.
QThe White Review — With your collages, do you recycle, appropriate or steal?
AMarnie Weber — Over the last five years I have been using primarily my own imagery, using myself or other people dressed up in costumes with painted backgrounds in theatrical settings. I wanted to see what would happen if I used nothing but my own source material. What came out was stranger than anything I might have found in the world and I was able to create something completely of my own. Earlier in my work I used found images from magazines and books. I consider the act of image-borrowing as sort of a rescue or recycling. Saving an image from being forgotten or stuck between the pages of a book. It gives the image a second life and might be seen in a new context than its original by a very different group of viewers. That act of saving makes life itself seem important; it lends purpose.
QThe White Review — Do you feel connected to the collage tradition?
AMarnie Weber — Yes I do. I study other artists' collages and I try to push the boundaries of what has been done in collage before. Art history is very important to me.
QThe White Review — Barbara Kruger describes her work as 'more about pleasure, desire only exists where there is absence' and says that she is 'not interested in the desire of the image… but in suggesting that we needn't destroy difference.' Do you feel similarly about your own work?
AMarnie Weber — There is great power in longing. To raise questions with collage, create uncanny scenes that draw the viewer in, to make them wonder what is going on is much more powerful than to create an image that is complete, finalized or in essence 'dead'. The act of contemplation when viewing of an artwork is a beautiful moment.
QThe White Review — Elad Lassry says there is something ironic when appropriating contemporary images. What do you think of that with respect to your own work?
AMarnie Weber — I only think of my work in terms of ironic when there is humour. I tend to be very sincere. I also don't appropriate contemporary images.
QThe White Review — Do you try to treat all pictures democratically?
AMarnie Weber — No some are more emotionally charged and special.
QThe White Review — What is left from the original context of the images you uses?
AMarnie Weber — From the ensemble they belong to? Very little these days. I used to leave a lot more. I am increasingly trying to use all my own images and still make it a collage. I like to be in my own world, not referencing popular culture or social concerns.
QThe White Review — What do you think about Barthes' statement 'whatever the sense: things don't matter, but the place of the things does'?
AMarnie Weber — I think the Barthes quote is talking about how it adds definition. 'Things', or objects included in a collage, are always metaphors for more profound subjects. A moth is a symbol of decay whereas a butterfly is a symbol of transcendence.
QThe White Review — Are your collages 'metaphors of fraternity' as Jean-Luc Godard puts it? Would you say they were metaphors of dependence, or a love encounter?
AMarnie Weber — I would say they are closer to a love encounter. A labour of love.
QThe White Review — Are your collages assonant or dissonant, do they have similar or antinomian associations?
AMarnie Weber — Visually they have assonance and can be pleasing to look at but they are dissonant in that there feels like there is something not right. An uncanny strangeness. Antinomian.
QThe White Review — What do you think Keith Tyson meant when he said: 'The world with which I am confronted is a complex dynamic, mutant, and speeded up; and if I am somehow "honest" then my art must reflect it, and try to resist a modernist inheritance'.
AMarnie Weber — There is an honesty in being non-ironic that can be confrontational. Many artists hide behind contemporary formalism, you aren't sure if it is a true expression of where their heart is.
QThe White Review — Does collage talk about fragility?
AMarnie Weber — Yes things decay and fall apart. It makes us seem small compared to all that is out there. Collage is a resurrection of an image's death.
QThe White Review — Are your collages synecdoche?
AMarnie Weber — Yes, they refer to a larger overall narrative.
QThe White Review — Let's move on to your use of the podium. What does it allow you to achieve, and what aesthetic forms are at stake when using such a form, such space?
AMarnie Weber — I never use a simple white podium, it seems trivial and carries a false importance. It is ok if used ironically. If a work needs height I create my own base that works conceptually with the piece. For instance, the podiums for the large pull animals are meant to look like toys. The podium creates an artificial importance to the work, but it is also a practical tool.
QThe White Review — The plinth, the pedestal, and the podium are areas of power, competition, emphasis and authority. Why do you use this typology? Can we move away from these principles?
AMarnie Weber — I prefer to think of an installation as a theatrical set and a podium just becomes another prop thereby diminishing its power. It gives definition, but it is a false power.
QThe White Review — How do you avoid fetishism and still work with the podium? Is it possible?
AMarnie Weber — I think the way to avoid the fetishism is to not use square white cubes as a podiums but to consider different ways to present the work and make it all part of the piece.

Tonelux MP5A All-Discrete Mic PreampThe Tonelux MP5A is a discrete mic preamp with a DI (direct input) on the front panel. The MP5A's Mic In is transformer coupled in and out, and has a 20dB pad (affects both Mic and DI), 48V Phantom power switch, and Phase or Polarity switch. The pad and polarity switches affect both inputs. The inner, or larger (silver) knob sets the mic pre gain and the outer smaller (black) knob controls the output level. We chose the fader control for the outer knob so the gain knob, once set, won't be bumped when adjusting the output level.The 8-segment LED VU meter follows the balanced output of the preamp. The level of the VU meter is adjustable over the entire range from Off to +28. The Peak LED is set at +14VU or +18dBu and can grab a fast peak and display it. An internal jumper selects the Mic Pre Main Output or the Mic Pre Gain Stage signal to feed the VU Meter. This allows the engineer to monitor the real mic pre gain or output level of the MP5A. When monitoring the Mic Pre Gain, the meter shows the actual gain-stage level, and is not affected by the output fader.The Combo XLR/Direct input is for use with a Hi-Z instrument, etc. The Tilt tone control works with both the Mic in and DI, and has it's own Tilt EQ In switch, which is a hardwire bypass switch when out. When turned up, the Tilt control has a 0 to 6dB boost on the high end while cutting the low end the same amount. If turned down, Tilt will boost the low end up to 6dB and cut the high end up to 6dB. The front-panel XLR is multed to the rear-panel XLR, and is also multed to the D-Sub Input on the rear of the V4 Roadster 500-series rack. The Insert Return input of the V4 is a resistor-isolated mic-level input that can be used when the MP5A is in a live recording situation and there is no splitter. It will bridge the mic line with 10x the impedance to minimize loading the microphone. Included with the MP5A Mic Pre is the ability to PFL (Pre Fader Listen) the output to an external amplifier or to the mixer/master section for previewing the signal directly off the mic pre output.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!

Tahltan First Nation signs deal for run-of-river power projects in northwestern B.C.
VICTORIA — First Nations in B.C. continue to make progress outside the treaty process with two clean-energy deals signed between the government and the Tahltan First Nation.
The Tahltan is the same northern B.C. band that has banned the Fortune Minerals Ltd. from its land in an angry dispute over the firm's proposed coal mine on Mount Klappan, in the band's traditional territory.
The revenue-sharing energy agreements involve two run-of-the-river projects on creeks in Tahltan territory and would see the proceeds reinvested back into the community.
John Rustad, the minister for aboriginal relations and reconciliation, said the success of such agreements helps create an economic climate that provides opportunities for all British Columbians.
Tahltan Central Council president Annita McPhee said their nation is committed to resource development that respects the environment and Tahltan rights, while providing tangible benefits to the community.
The projects, on the McLymont and Volcano creeks in northwestern B.C., would provide renewable energy and be sold to B.C. Hydro for distribution to the provincial power grid.

|New in the Directory This Week
|Top 10 New Franchises For 2006
|The Great Thirst: Californians and Water-A History, Revised Edition
|Jr. Norris Hundley
|The story of "the great thirst" is brought up to date in this revised edition of Norris Hundley's outstanding history, with additional photographs and incisive descriptions of the major water-policy issues facing California now: accelerating urbanization of farmland and open spaces, persisting despoliation of water supplies, and demands for equity in water allocation for an exploding population. People the world over confront these problems, and Hundley examines them with clarity and eloquence in the unruly laboratory of California.The obsession with water has shaped California to a remarkable extent, literally as well as politically and culturally. Hundley tells how aboriginal Americans and then early Spanish and Mexican immigrants contrived to use and share the available water and how American settlers, arriving in ever-increasing numbers after the Gold Rush, transformed California into the home of the nation's preeminent water seekers. The desire to use, profit from, manipulate, and control water drives the people and events in this fascinating narrative until, by the end of the twentieth century, a large, colorful cast of characters and communities has wheeled and dealed, built, diverted, and connived its way to an entirely different statewide waterscape.

|The Frozen Water Trade: A True Story
|Gavin Weightman
|Now in paperback, the fascinating story of America's vast natural ice trade which revolutionized the 19th century.On February 13, 1806, the brig Favorite left Boston harbor bound for the Caribbean island of Martinique with a cargo that few imagined would survive the month-long voyage. Packed in hay in the hold were large chunks of ice cut from a frozen Massachusetts lake. This was the first venture of a young Boston entrepreneur, Frederic Tudor, who believed he could make a fortune selling ice to people in the tropics.Ridiculed at the outset, Tudor endured years of hardship before he was to fulfill his dream. Over the years, he and his rivals extended the frozen-water trade to Havana, Charleston, New Orleans, London, and finally to Calcutta, where in 1833 more than one hundred tons of ice survived a four-month journey of 16,000 miles with two crossings of the equator. The Frozen-Water Trade is a fascinating account of the birth of an industry that ultimately revolutionized domestic life for millions of people.
|Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and All Climates, 2nd edition
|Robert Kourik
|Drip irrigation is the best way to help any plant flourish and survive tough times, especially short or long droughts. Pick the wrong "stuff " and you easily can feel overwhelmed. Robert Kourik's Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and All Climates clearly explains how to use less water yet increase the yields of vegetables and promote the growth and flowering of all plants--trees, shrubs, and container plants--in any climate, even where it rains irregularly.In the tradition of the original groundbreaking book, this fully revised edition incorporates new information essential for gardeners, including how to manage limited water supplies with precision and efficiency, without the clutter of hundreds of widgets and gizmos, and the knowledge is shared in Kourik's inimitable, friendly, down-to-earth, and easy-to-understand style.Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and All Climates, reveals how to:Utilize drip irrigation for everything you grow--trees, shrubs, hanging plants, container plants, and vegetable and flower gardens --and save up to 50 percent of your water compared to sprinklers.Use a streamlined configuration of hardware and tubing.Choose the best, sturdiest hardware that will last for decades in your home landscape and vegetable garden.Pick tubing that has no emitters punched on the outside--these have a tendency to break off--and use this tubing buried beneath the surface to irrigate without losing any water to wind or evaporation.Roll out a drip system in a very short period of time, avoiding tedious hours punching in emitters or adding smaller tubing to reach each plant.Capture and reuse gray water and cistern water for irrigation.Construct a system in which the main parts are effectively hidden or can be simply attached to an existing garden faucet.Individual projects are carefully detailed and include: how anyone can construct a system by attaching it to an existing garden faucet or the main water supply, constructing larger assemblies for big gardens, irrigating all sizes of potted plants, easy ways to irrigate a vegetable garden, and how to lay out tubing for the best health of trees and shrubs.

[video src="Skoda_Montage_GFX_DI_16_x_9.flv" /]
There was a time when Skodas were the butt of every comedian's jokes. If you write for the Daily Mail that time is still with us, but for the rest of us Skoda has morphed from Eastern Block oddity into a credible and creative European carmaker. That said, it's still something of a surprise when Skoda UK's PR manager, Pietro Panarisi, calls to explain his idea to mark the tenth anniversary of Skoda's vRS performance brand: a one-off Octavia that he hopes will do 200mph at Bonneville Speed Week. Oh, and would I like to be the driver?
And so it begins.
