I have lived out in Colorado now for 9 years and I think I have found home. I live right near downtown; love both the city life and our great mountain playground. I was married 10 years (no drama, no passion) and then in a 6 year relationship (lots of drama, lots of passion). I guess I am looking for the best of both. I love life and believe in living in the here and now. I have a work hard, play hard mentality and my likes range from music festivals, cooking together at home, traveling out of the US, red rock concerts, traveling in the US, seeing movies, reading, sitting at the bar talking about whatever, skiing, hiking, biking, running, laughing, connecting. I have my 10 year old twins 50% of the time... I truly love being a Dad... Love my kids more than words can say, but have to say I enjoy my time off too!

Saving the earth through bones
- Details
- Category: Readers' Corner
03 Dec 2012
- Written by Henrylito D. Tacio / email@example.com
"MOST of us self-professed environmentalists are committed to save the environment – we plant trees, we dispose our garbage properly, we save water, we observe the Earth Hour every year. But Darrell's way of preserving the environment makes our combined efforts almost trivial."
That was former Davao City councillor Leonard R. Avila III wrote in his foreword for the book, The Bone Collector: The Story of a Man Who Advocates of Saving the Earth from Human Destruction.
The 160-page book is sort of a biographical sketch of Darrell D. Blatchley, the curator and owner of the D'Bone Collector Museum, which opened last January. It is now one of the most-often visited museums in Davao City.
Avila's thought-provoking words seemed the set the tone of the book. In his concluding statement, the ex-lawmaker pointed out, "If you have not met the man yet or visited the museum, this book is akin to spending a few hours with Darrell over cups of Davao coffee and surrounded by awesomeness of nature we are so fortunate to experience."
The book is authored by John-Eric Taburada, who described himself as "a motivated poet with interest in human attitude, culture, spiritual nurturing, and philanthropy."
Taburada is also the man behind several other books, including Amazing Archipelago: The Hard Facts and Unbiased Information about the Eccentric and Wrongly Impressed Nation!
Those who get the chance of visiting the D'Bone Collector Museum – which can compete one of those found at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. – will be mesmerized to see a 41-foot or 12.4-meter long sperm whale (which has the largest species of toothed whale). Bones and skeletons of snakes, tarsier, marine turtles, various fish species, different sizes of the mouths of sharks, and birds abound.
Most of the bones and skeletons were collected by Blatchley himself. Some, however, were donated by individuals and some organizations. "I have been collecting bones and animal stuff since I was young," he said. "I grew up in Thailand and the Philippines, countries that both have different and interesting animals."
The book has no chapters so you have to read it like a magazine. Anecdotes abound. In fact, you get to know how some of the bones were collected. "Our 41 foot sperm whale that died of old age, got buried on the beach and was left there for four years before we were informed about it. It took us 15 hours to dig it up, a dump truck to take it to town and a bus (which we rented) to bring it to Davao. It took us three years to finish it together."
The book was written in question and answer form. The author sent his questions and Darrell answered them "mostly at night time when my sons and wife were already sleeping."
Darrell D. Blatchley was born in the United States but spent his childhood in Thailand. When he was 15, the family moved to the Philippines, where his parents work helping poverty-stricken and displaced children in Davao City.
Spending more than half of his life in the country and being married to a beautiful Filipina (Mary Gay, with whom he has two sons), he now considers the Philippines as his second home – next to the United States.
In the book, Darrell shares some thoughts about the Philippines, the people, and the culture. When asked by the author about conservation in the Philippines, Darrell replied: "Many Filipinos are hungry due to poverty and don't recognize the word 'conservation'; they would eat almost anything edible just to survive."
On the difference between Filipinos and Thai, Darrell shared: "The people in Thailand and the Philippines are similar in appearance though some differences, like the temperament of people are different there. Anger is not allowed to be shown in public. It is called losing face."
What is interesting about the book is that it provided some footnotes for international readers to know more about what Darrell had been explaining. When he told the author about his favorite food, kinilaw, Taburada wrote below: "a salad made from raw fish cubes mixed with vinegar and spices."
From pages 75-79, Darrell shared some of his secrets in deboning, cleaning, and reattaching bones. "If the animal is buried, it would take me several hours to dig it up, making sure I have all the bones," he said. "After that, I have to clean all the bones and assemble them piece by piece. For a larger animal, it may take up to months to prepare it before it can be displayed in the museum."
People may find what Darrell is doing as weird and strange. "Without what we are doing now, there would be so many strange and amazing animals that will disappear from this planet," he said. "We are performing the ultimate recycling. Dead animals can be used as learning tools. So that even in death, these animals will continue to wow, amaze and educate both young and old alike."
In his introduction, Taburada posed a question as to who should be called a hero: "Would it be someone who led and raised a weapon to fight with the oppressors? Would it be someone who revolutionary wrote from a pen only to perish by firing squad? Would it be someone who blatantly opposed a political dictator and exposed his system of corruptions, then ending a claimed heroic life through assassination? Or would it be someone who loved collecting bones and taught the public how to save the world from human destruction?" ###

Rare and expensive vehicles and the stories behind their discovery.
That Infiniti LE looks like a Buick that was left out in the sun a little too long and started to melt.
The Fisker is gorgeous, other than the nose, but it has the handicap of being electric. I'd love to see one with all the electric nonsense ripped out in favor of a C6 Vette drivetrain, now THAT would be a great car!
Why is the Altima wearing what looks like Lexus' (ugly) new grille?
And other than the Linc and Fisker, all of these sedans look pretty similar, and all have the dogleg rear 1/4 window treatment.
And what's up with the high, blunt front ends on the Impala and Avalon? Very bulky and ungainly looking, IMO. Is it for pedestriam crash standards? That's BS...pedestrians need to stay out of the street. Cars are big, if you can't see one coming and know enough to get out of the way, tough. Darwin at work.
The Viper looks tough, as it should. I like that it was only a mild restyle, the previous car looked great just the way it was, and the new updates take it to the next level.

Lords & Ladies Dancing
i don't know about you but i had a hellishly fun time at the opening events for Voluptia's Grand Opening party held on the weekend. the Lady (LadyVanir Dragovar) has put together a fun and friendly crew. can't say putting my video together with brand new software was anywhere near as much fun as the conga line at the Sublime Ball Room. some people have a real knack for entertaining. i never thought gathering for a virtual dance could be so fun.
i'm real happy LadyVanir Dragovar and her partner LordVanir have made it over to SL from their longtime devotion to designing for IMVU. i'm looking forward to much more from them whether it's through the Voluptia brand, Sublime Ball Room, or any number of their other creative and entertaining venues. they are certainly a pair to watch.
welcome to Second Life Lord and Lady.
if you are so inclined to peek in on the earlier goings on, click the image to see my YouTube video i managed to cut together from some clips. let's just say there's a little wiggle room for improvement. meh, i'm sure the feel will come through. enjoy. if i ever tame this software, there might be some more.

After rain or sufficient snowmelt, Grand Falls lives up to its other name: "Chocolate Falls."

Indian Road 6910The road is rough, but the reward of seeing the smooth water of Chocolate Falls is well worth a few bumps and thuds.
By Jobeth Jamison
When it comes to waterfalls in Arizona, the first thought for most people is Havasu Falls, and rightfully so. However, the Colorado River is fed by another watery wonder: Grand Falls. Although it's a lesser-known kid sister, Grand Falls is more accessible than Havasu, and it's about the last thing you'd expect to encounter in the arid expanse of Navajoland.
"Mud Falls," as Grand Falls is sometimes called, is fed exclusively by snowmelt and rainfall, so it often runs low, or it doesn't run at all. The falls, though they look like something created by Willy Wonka, were formed when lava from a nearby crater created a dam in the Little Colorado River and rerouted the flow. The falls are where the new route rejoins the old one. After a rainy spring or late-summer monsoons, enough water usually passes through the falls' red-dirt path to create a muddy cascade. In the wake of a wet winter, the 185-foot drop can resemble a chocolate Niagara Falls, making it aesthetically delicious and worth the "grading" drive.
The first 35 miles from Flagstaff are comfortably paved — first eastbound along Interstate 40, then north along Winona and Leupp roads, where you will catch glimpses of the area's cinder mines. These shaved volcanic cones reveal layers of ages-old burgundy, black and caramel rocks.
After passing through the little town of Winona, Leupp Road (where keen mileage calculation should begin) leads to the Navajo Indian Reservation. There, the signs of human life are pleasantly fewer while signs of the area's unique geological history abound. The road bends past untouched cinder cones and craters that tower up into an otherwise even landscape, interrupting distant views of the San Francisco Peaks.
About 17 miles from the start of Leupp Road, signs for the Grand Falls Bible Church start to appear. The church and the falls are on different roads and are many miles apart, but it's a good time to pay close attention to the odometer and mileposts. Indian Road 6910 materializes approximately 20.3 miles down Leupp Road, between Mileposts 5 and 6. Keep in mind, there is a small, official Indian Road sign, but it's hard to see in advance.
After taking a left onto the unpaved road, there's a sprinkling of small hills and rock outcroppings, but for the most part the land is dry and flat as far as the eye can see. You'll struggle with the idea that any semblance of water exists anywhere along this road. Another struggle is the steering wheel. Although Indian 6910 looks smooth, it's painfully graded and can be dangerous at high speeds. Fortunately, the need to soak up the solitude and beauty of Navajoland will trump the need for speed.
After 9.4 miles, and after passing Indian Road 70, a series of side-by-side dirt roads veer off to the left. Picnic-table ramadas and the likely existence of other vehicles are clues that something is out there, but it's still hard to imagine. Only after you've parked your car and walked the short distance to the overlook will you believe that Grand Falls actually exists. But there it is, very different from Havasu Falls, but impressive nonetheless.
Tour Guideclick to expand
Note: Mileages are approximate.
Length: 47 miles one way
Directions: From Flagstaff, drive east on Interstate 40 to Winona Road (Exit 211) and turn left (north). Follow Winona Road to Leupp Road and turn right. Follow Leupp Road for 20.3 miles to Indian Road 6910 (unmarked) between Mileposts 5 and 6. Take a left onto the unpaved road and drive north for 9.5 miles. Do not cross the river. Turn left onto an unmarked road and follow it to the overlook (approximately 0.2 miles).
Vehicle Requirements: A high-clearance vehicle is recommended. The road is graded, but very rough and slow-going. Snow, ice, deep water and mud may be present.
Travel Advisory: Grand Falls is located on the Navajo Indian Reservation, where it's illegal to travel off designated roads. Proceed respectfully. There are no barriers or fences, so keep dogs leashed and children in hand.
Warning: Back-road travel can be hazardous, so be aware of weather and road conditions. Carry plenty of water. Don't travel alone and let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return.

I'm a graduate student in English Literature, and for the past several years that I've been involved in graduate-level literature scholarship I've become hyper-aware of what people say about studying literature. The sad fact is that I see lots of people saying disparaging things about lit studies, and about scholarship in general. The sad part isn't that they say things like that; they're allowed to hate it or be critical of it. The sad part is that they don't understand the issue well enough to truly judge. So I'm going to attempt to explain why those things are important, and why they're not stupid.
You study literature, right?
Yes, we do, but we also do a whole lot more than that. In fact, as the state of the larger field of critical analysis has grown and developed, we've come to realize that (in the words of critical theorist Jacques Derrida) everything is a text. The mouse under your hand right now was created by a person (or people) who wanted to imbue it with both a function and a form, and that conscious effort to create an object also creates a text that can be both read and evaluated. For example, is your mouse ergonomic, or is it just rounded? Is it a bright or subdued color? What do those things say about the mouse itself, and where does the mouse fit into both the chronology and development of mice? Further, what does that mouse say about us as a society, and what does it mean that we developed computer interfaces in the form of the mouse and keyboard?
There's nearly a never-ending well of questions that can be asked, and as we try to answer them, we learn more about the human condition, and about what it means to be human.
Wait, hold on. What about my high school teacher who made all these sweeping generalizations about what the author of Moby Dick was thinking about when he wrote it?
Yeah, I know, most people hated that. I've heard all sorts of complaints about how their high school teacher would make ridiculous lessons about how the repetition of the color blue in a story meant that the author was depressed rather than just, say, a person who liked the color blue.
That's not really indicative of what we do when we study literature. First of all, the idea of reading a text as an insight into the author's subconscious has largely fallen out of fashion, and quite a long time ago, at that. We still do it, but that's only one type of analysis out of many. Second, while we all love high school teachers for making the ultimate sacrifice and teaching teenage kids, the vast majority of them never went to graduate school. Some of them didn't even go to college for the subject they're teaching, but instead got a degree in education with a minor in some other subject. So those teachers who told you about the color blue in high school? Yeah, they may never have read any real literature scholarship or theory in their lives. And there's the other problem that even if they did at one point, there's no requirement that they stay on top of it once they begin teaching. So they may have been teaching what they learned twenty years ago, which has become significantly out of date.
Way to render my entire high school career meaningless.
Sorry. High school does give you a good basic knowledge of things, but there's just no way for them to really give you a fair understanding of everything, given how underpaid and underappreciated they are. If we paid teachers like we pay athletes, I guarantee you that you'd come out of high school up-to-date on the latest scholarship.
But why do we care about learning about humanity and all of that stuff?
Well, it's important for a variety of reasons. Human beings are on a constant quest to understand ourselves. That's why those stupid quizzes make the rounds on the internet, because we have some silly belief that a "What Harry Potter Character Are You?" quiz will actually tell you more about yourself. It may have something to do with our brains being hard-wired to see patterns, which, while it makes us great at identifying faces, sometimes also makes us see things that aren't there. Or it may have nothing to do with that at all.
However, the more we know about ourselves, the better we can become. It's like science, but for culture. Science can make you a pair of cybernetic legs, but it can't teach you how to be happy, or how to come to terms with the death of a loved one.
How does something like a feminist reading of Shakespeare teach people how to be happy?
Well, it doesn't, directly. But think about how many different scientists, working on unrelated things, it will take to first develop and then build a pair of cybernetic legs. That's sort of what we're doing by working on all of these things: we're hoping that each little step that we make in seemingly-unrelated or unimportant fields will in some way lead to a better understanding of human nature, which will in turn make people happier and better-understood.
Literature scholarship is really an attempt to find some deeper truth about life, and isn't that what we all do? Don't we spend most of our lives trying to figure out why we're here, and what it's all for? While I doubt that anyone will ever definitively answer that question, each time we do something like a feminist reading of Moby Dick, or a Marxist critique of Faulkner, we try to better understand not just those works, but everything that I've mentioned in this article. Truth, happiness, life, etc. All of those things that science can't answer.
You're just using me for a Socratic Dialogue, aren't you?
Damn, am I that transparent? Well, Socrates was a philosopher, and he greatly contributed to our understanding of the world at large, much like we try to do in Lit Studies. In fact, we combine a whole lot of different disciplines in what we do because they help us see the bigger picture. For example, we use some philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology, history, and many more.
How in the world do you justify calling that "literature"?
Yeah, you got me. Literature actually isn't a very good name for what we do, and the literature department of colleges around the country (if not the world) are right now trying to deal with this very crisis of identity. See, it all started out fine and dandy by exclusively studying literature. At first, so-called "literature" programs only studied Greek and Roman texts, and it was required that students learn Greek, Latin, or both. In fact, it was only during this century that the works of William Shakespeare started being taught in literature classes, despite the fact that they were written four centuries ago.
In other words, the study of literature has gotten progressively larger, and has dealt with progressively newer texts. Eventually, as I quoted earlier, Derrida declared that everything was a text, and while we do primarily concern ourselves with actual literature, it's becoming more and more common to see scholarship on graphic novels, television shows, and films, if not computer mice and desk chairs. However, the tools that we use to evaluate those books and movies are the same tools that we can use to evaluate the aforementioned mice and chairs.
Come on, isn't this really just a way for you "educated" folks to feel superior to everyone else?
No, that's just an extra perk.
Seriously, though, there are people in every field who use their skill/knowledge/breeding/whatever to lord over other people. So yes, I'm sure that there are some people in Literature Studies who use their powers for evil rather than good, but that's not what the whole field is about.
I promise that we're just trying to help people understand themselves and each other!
I hate you anyway.
I'm sorry. =(

Just picked up a pretty nice looking Korsar here in FL. No fleet here in the USA that I know of. Boat was shipped here several years ago from Gemany... where there is an active fleet. Set it up today and it looks like it'll be a blast to sail. Anyone out there have any rigging/tuning info for the Korsar? I found the class website, still working on the translation though...

Tonight we finally learned why Ned decided to become a pie maker and how he became so set in his ways. The smell of pies reminded 9 year-old Ned of his mother and feeling safe, loved, and warm. He knows he cant eat the pies but he derives pleasure from making them nonetheless. Years later when Chuck buys cupcake pans and suggests offering cup-pies on the menu, we get a glimpse of how averse Ned is to change. Can you really blame him? I cant even imagine the trauma of having a bearskin rug come alive beneath me.I really enjoyed Chuck enlisting Olive in her scheme to get the Darling Mermaid Darlings (DMD) back in the water.

Paradise in the desert
My wife and I, along with our adult son, drove out from Los Angeles to enjoy a week in this amazing vacation spot. The weather was warm and clear during January of 2014 so we could enjoy the wonderfully landscaped grounds, pool and hot tub, right outside our back door. It's all brand new and we were the very first to enjoy it. We live in the northeast USA so it was nice to experience this fantastic southwest villa on the very edge of the open desert. Riding mountain bikes through Usery Mountain Regional Park- just down the street- was a real treat. Beautiful views of the Superstition Mountains to the east and day trips took us to even more dramatic sceney, as well as to Tuscon. Plenty of wilderness to explore and downtown Phoenix, of course, is only thirty minutes away. The perfect combination of urban areas and the wide open spaces of the wild west. A luxury experience inside and outside the villa! Being here is even better than the photos indicate. It was difficult to tear ourselves away from this beautiful oasis just to go out and explore the hills and canyons. The house is spotless and well furnished. As an architect, I appreciated the southwest design and decor. High ceilings throughout and everything we needed for preparing a meal was available in the huge kitchen- groceries bought at nearby supermarkets. The owners, Kevin and Stacy, were living in an adjacent building on site so were instantly available to offer tourist advice and answer any questions. They have created the perfect vacation paradise in the desert.
Amazing family friendly house
Visited from the United Kingdom for family reunion. Photos of pool do not do it justice, far larger in reality. Our kids hardly left it. Four well appointed bedrooms with really comfortable beds. Kitchen with everything you needed. Felt lovely and safe in the gated community. Also only twenty minutes from the airport with great directions from the owner. House is in immaculate condition. On a parting note we will be visiting next year!
Great place, great price and wonderful owners!
We were so pleased with the location, and owners of our stay! They were very helpful as we prepared for our visit. Nice location, easy access to all in Mesa. The condo was just as shown, and had all to make it very much like home! We hope to be back!

Vintage Amber Cracked Glass Globe Hanging Swag Lamp
We find the most interesting Retro Chandelier. Here are the best deals we found for the Vintage Amber Cracked Glass Globe Hanging Swag Lamp for sale on the Internet.
Vintage Amber Cracked Glass Globe Hanging Swag Lamp Picture(s) and Description:
This vintage retro hanging lamp is in excellent condition no damage cracks or repairs. There is a manufacture flaw in the lip of the fitter and you can see from the last picture how it bulges the glass in. It has no effect on the globe and the brass fitter fits nice and tight. The Brass top fitter and the bottom are in excellent condition as well. As in all pieces of this era there will be some rough edges where they grind the top's and or bottoms of the glass. This is normal and you cannot see it when the lamp is put together. It plugs into a normal wall socket. For those that have asked on the wattage you can use any size watt bulb you care too. The socket takes a normal household light bulb. Due to the size of the swag lamps that I sell they will NOT be shipped in 1 piece. To arrive safely they must be taken apart. I can always be contacted if you need any help putting one back together. If this is a issue for you please do not buy it. The Globe and Brass fittings measure 17" long and 10" wide. It has wonderful brass fittings on the top and the base. Has a switch to turn on and off. A long 15' cord and chain I try and ship the next day after cleared payment but I do gaurantee it shipped within 3 days. After I have shipped I do not have any control on how long it will take for you to receive your package Check out the pictures and let me know if you have any questions Thanks for looking and good luck

Computer ConsultingTrainingWeb Design/DevelopmentFreelance Writing/Editing
What's New!
I currently have two major projects going forward. The first (and largest) is a book I'm wrting for SAMS, tentatively titled
Teach Yourself DNS and BIND in 24 Hours. The book is scheduled for release in December, 1999. The second major project is another book, this one for Digital Press, tentatively titled Storage
Management for Compaq Tru64 UNIX. While that book is obviously much narrower in scope than the DNS book, it is still a fun project, and hopefully will be profitable as well.
I'll be back on the road in the fall, doing training for the Institute for Software Advancement. I'll be teaching classes in Compaq Tru64 UNIX, and some Windows
NT as well. Of course, ISA won't be taking up all of my time, so if you are in need of a consultant or a trainer, feel free to e-mail me and let's discuss your needs.
I've established a relationship with AccessZone, a web design and hosting company
in Missouri. I'll be doing various network support tasks and development jobs for them, particularly programming work using Cold Fusion. This promises to be a fun
working relationship and one that could be very profitable for us both in the long run. It won't be full-time work at the moment, though, so if you're in need of a network
support guy, trainer, or web developer/programmer, by all means check out my resume and e-mail
me if you have work I can handle. While I'm not looking for work that involves re-location, a little travel never hurt anybody.
In addition to this new relationship with AccessZone, I'm still quite active with the folks at Internet Marketing International, and NOLA-Market, which is where this domain (yatcom.com) is located

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — New fishing regulations are set to take effect next year at Stonewall Jackson Lake.
The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources says the changes include a six-fish-per-day creel limit. One of these may be 18 inches or longer for black bass.
There also will be a 52-inch minimum size limit with a one fish per day creel limit for muskellunge.
Previously there was a catch-and-release regulation in place for all black bass and a 30-inch minimum size limit with a two-fish per day creel limit for muskellunge.
Officials say the regulation change was proposed by biologists who began noticing a decline in physical condition of largemouth bass and increased numbers of spotted bass.

If your knowledge of Russian consists mainly of the words "Pravda," "vodka," and "Do svidanya," you've got your work cut out for you. The Maly Drama Theatre of St. Petersburg brings its acclaimed production of Uncle Vanya to BAM, and it is performed, as written, in Russian (don't worry, there are English subtitles). This production celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of playwright Anton Chekhov, whose 1895 tragicomedy about a man struggling with the realization that he's wasted his life is considered one of his most genius works.
Wednesdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, 3 p.m. Starts: April 7. Continues through April 11, 2010

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
the real problem on the road is that we've really only played a full 48 minutes for one game -- against the thunder. we need to keep up the intensity for a full 48 minutes. losses are hard to stomach sometimes, but i think our players have the ability to step up and improve on that road record.~ KMM
congrats on your win :) let us know how your experience goes.
I can totally relate to this metaphor. Dammit. ;-)

In September 2011, a fire broke out in a 150-year-old building that housed a hotel, bar, and Frank M. Booth, Inc. Water damage was significant for this 100-year-old company so the owners decided to remodel. As the structure was torn apart, they noticed large, hand-hewn columns that were part of the original building — a carriage-making shop built in the 1860s. Some of the columns still had large metal rings where horses would be tied in the shop.
"With all this history popping up, we knew had to incorporate that into the new design with an industrial warehouse feel," explains Mary Langsdorf, who spearheaded the remodeling efforts. Those efforts were extensive and included the removal and repouring of 8,000 square feet of concrete flooring and rebuilding two 50-foot brick walls. When it came to lighting, Mary spent countless hours searching for the perfect fixtures. She found them in The Mig Retro Steel Industrial Pendant.
"I ordered all kinds of lights and returned them all because of size and color issues," she says. "Since we are a metal and pipe shop, we do a great deal of welding, so when I saw Barn Light Electric's acetylene caps, I fell in love!" Mary wanted the lights to reflect the history of the company which is now run by Frank M. Booth's great grandchildren. The Mig Pendants are crafted from repurposed acetylene tank tops that come with a standard cord or a colored cotton or cotton twist cord. Each fixture and finish is unique.
"Since we are so involved with welding in both our shops, I knew I had to pick these lights," Mary adds. "Our color is the same yellow as the finish on the lights so I had to give these a try. I love that they are such a novelty piece. The guys go down that hallway and get a big smile on their faces because hanging from the ceiling are actual items we use in the shop. It definitely adds more character to our building!"

Drink. Well. Two words — plain, simple, and direct — and the name of one of the newest pubs to spring up in Austin, Texas. We talk with architect Cindy Black, who worked on the project with husband and fellow architect Rick Black, about the new space which features some beautiful vintage industrial lighting.
Q: Was this a new building or a remodel?
A: This was a renovation of an existing 1960 commercial building located on 53rd Street which is known for its eclectic mix of vintage shops, alternative retail venues, and great local restaurants.
Q: What was the design direction the owners wanted to take for this space?
A: The overall goal was to create a neighborhood pub that was a comfortable space with an urban edge. This meant incorporating warm finish colors and slightly worn or industrial fixtures. Some structural steel was needed after we removed the interior walls, so we turned this into a design feature. Exposed I-beams line the ceiling and steel columns support metal car rims that create additional "tables" for the space. Hand-painted accents also give character and texture to the space such as the brick wall mural and the black-and-gold lettering on the restroom doors.
Q: Why did you choose barn style lighting for the pub?
A: The barn style lighting fixtures convey a vintage Americana style with familiar shapes and materials. We also loved the finishes available such as the worn paint on the Mig Pendant and the Rubbed Bronze on the Triple Warehouse Diffuser.
Q: Do people comment on the Mig Pendants over the bar?
A: The Mig lights are just perfect for bringing punctuations of warm light through the holes on the side. It's a familiar object that most people don't quite recognize unless they've been around welding before. There was much discussion about which Mig color we would choose — but we love the yellow! It's a great color accent for the space. We also used the grey Migs where less accent was needed to contrast with the diamond patterned fabric (see top photo).
Q: Now that the lights are up and the doors are open, what do you like best about the lights?
A: We really loved being able to get some warm incandescent fixtures that feel more like candlelight. The Triple Warehouse Diffuser provides a canopy for the big six-person table giving character and definition to that alcove.

From locally grown vegetables to clothing, there has been a marked increase in demand to purchase American made products. With the internet bringing the world to everyone's fingertips, it's easier than ever to find all sorts of made-in-the-USA items. Light fixtures are no exception to this trend and we don't see this trend changing anytime soon. American made lighting has been around for more than 100 years with some original styles still being used today.Read More

Barn Pendants resembling the Indy Industrial Pendant and the Minimalist Polished Brass Cage Pendant add to the time-worn character of Hostem Men's Clothing Store, located in the heart of London's East End. These cloth cord pendants are found within the Ceiling Lighting category at Barn Light Electric.
The Indy Industrial Pendant features an authentic style turn key switch that can be used as an on/off switch, or simply as a decorative feature. It comes with 8 feet of adjustable Black or White cord (the image above features black). It's an ideal, affordable pendant to accent within the home or counter top, yet has also been making appearances within large and small scale retail displays. The Indy starts at $85.00 each.
You will also notice several caged pendants are used throughout Hostem's showroom (shown in the photo below). One caged pendant hangs above a black leather bag, uniquely doubling as a business card holder. The light shining into the bag resembles our Minimalist Polished Brass Cage Pendant, which starts at $99. When ordering this pendant, you will have the option of choosing a Black, White, or Putty cotton twist cord. Wire cage lights were originally used in factories and warehouses, where the cage protected the light bulb from debris materials that may damage the bulb. Like many of the decorations and fixtures at Hostem's, the Minimalist Polished Brass Cage Pendant has a simplified elegance reminiscent of the Industrial Era.
Hostem's interior was planned by JamesPlumb design, which was founded by two of Britain's most popular designers: Hannah Plub and James Russel. The duo is known for their creative re purposing of vintage furniture.
The team created an overall rustic look throughout the store. Antique items were salvaged and reused, including a vintage church pew (now used as a counter) and a chandelier made from a combination of lampshades. Recently, Hostem's was featured in a blog post on Remodelista's Shopper's Diary.
"The duo layers Dickensian grittiness with the romance of the British poets Keats and Shelley….Walls and ceilings are lined with hand-painted hessian, and Swedish linen curtains obscure the windows." – Remodelista

Someone asked today what DAG stands for, in reference to Pat McCrory.
It stands for Deputy Assistant Governor.
The DAG and Wos find another way to embarrass the state and keep "those" people in their place.
North Carolina has become the first state to cut off welfare benefits to poor residents in the wake of the partial federal government shutdown, ordering a halt to processing November applications until a deal is reached to end the federal standstill. Read full story at Reuters
In case you missed it.
Details below the fold.
Although Pat McCrory campaigned as a "political outsider" who would root out special interests and reject "business as usual," the truth is this: before he even took office, McCrory had broken his campaign promises and surrounded himself with veterans of the good ole boy network.
Progress North Carolina has set up a special website to catalogue the proof of this. Please share our new accountability website graphics with others so people understand: we need to watch this guy closely. See the website here. Or you can review its contents after the jump.
Within days of winning the election, Pat McCrory broke his campaign promise to keep special interests out of state government. He has surrounded himself with veterans of the good ole boy network and plunged headlong into conflicts of interest unbecoming of our state's highest office.
In the wake of Governor Pope's inauguration yesterday, editorial writers across the state are wondering aloud just what we can expect from the new regime. Readers of BlueNC don't need to wonder at all. We know exactly what North Carolina can expect. Our state is being methodically recrafted into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mr. Pope's sprawling retail empire: Variety Wholesalers.
It doesn't take much intellect to understand the principles of slum merchandising. One need only look at Pope's proven business model.

Meta-Messages – Chris Claremont Sticks Up for Ms. Marvel
In this feature I explore the context behind (using reader danjack's term) "meta-messages." A meta-message is where a comic book creator comments on/references the work of another comic book/comic book creator (or sometimes even themselves) in their comic. Each time around, I'll give you the context behind one such "meta-message." Here is an archive of the past installments!
Today we take a look at Chris Claremont's resolution of the still-bizarre Ms. Marvel storyline from Avengers #200, where we see Claremont tear that story apart.
Committed: Why Ancient Mythology Breaks in Contemporary Comics
Adapting ancient parables and mythology is a large part of current comic book lore, as writers seek to imbue their creations with weight by borrowing from more established folklore. But in doing so without context, we're ignoring the reasons why these stories worked so well, and what they would have meant in their original eras.
Committed: Regarding Male Superheroes as Sex Objects
As someone who spent her entire youth having inappropriate thoughts about superheroes, I've always understood that women aren't the only ones being physically objectified in comic books, and men are being depicted as basically naked and entirely perfect as well. Finally it seems that the rest of the female population is catching on.
Random Thoughts!… with Bill Reed!? (June 7, 2011)
Random Hijack! Yes, I am stealing Chad Nevett's bit for a week whilst he takes a hiatus from this column. Yes, this is all Travis Pelkie's fault. It's Random Thoughts time! Get excited! (Or don't. It's really up to you. This is a free country.)
Committed: Inadvertently Brainwashing Babies
Media input in early childhood can have a lasting effect on adult tastes. If I hadn't grown up with so many art, design and comic books around me, would I love them as I do now? Would I be so involved in the arts and communication profession? All of the imagery and information that we absorb as infants can influence us for the rest of our lives. For this reason I'm increasingly grateful for all of the things I was exposed to in my childhood.
Sunday Brunch: 7/25/10
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What announcements from San Diego, if any, excited you?
Sunday Brunch: 6/13/10
I bought a sexy new computer yesterday. I'm writing this on its decade-older cousin, however, because it's hard to blog when your only available monitor (er, besides this one) is the TV. Doin' it old school!
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: I forgot all the good questions I was going to ask. So what's a question you'd like to answer? I'm open to suggestions.
Sunday Brunch: 5/9/10
This week's episode of Sunday Brunch is like buying a gallon of skim milk instead of a quart of whole. So you get all the fatty comments from me cut off, but a whole lot of comics nutrients. Something like that, anyway.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: If Batman was a flower, what flower would Batman be?
Sunday Brunch: 5/2/2010
One day, I'll just put up a Brunch composed entirely of links to Comics Should Be Good articles from the previous week. But until we hit that nadir of lackadaisy (which I have now decided is a word, regardless of what the dictionary says), I guess I'll have to settle for sharing various bits and bobs (and carols and teds and alices) of the comic book internet with you, faithful reader.
And I've had absolutely no time to pull stuff together this week, so… lightning round!
QUESTION(S) OF THE WEEK: How was your Free Comic Book Day? Good? Bad? Neutral? Chaotic Neutral? Lawful evil? Via my two online retailers (DCBS and Heavy Ink, holla, etc.), I managed nine free comics! And a lot of not free ones. So I'll tell you all about those. In June, probably.

Box of Comics: June 2009
And lo, the first round of cuts to my pull list hits, as I try to wean myself off single issues and into trade paperbacks. What did I decide to keep buying in singles? Join me under the jump for the stuff I bought that's worth typing about: robots, space horses, vampires, more vampires, and Batman. What's most surprising, dear reader? My favorite comic this month wasn't written by Grant Morrison. (Gasp!) Continue Reading »
Some Thoughts On Walt Simonson's Thor Run
I was going to try and do in depth reviews of every issue of Simoson's legendary run on Marvel's Thunder God. Then I realized that really, who was I kidding? I do have some thoughts related to the first year's worth of the run, though (337-350, to be exact. It's a baker's year!). That as close as I care to get to depth, thank you.
Spoiler Disclaimer: I'm gonna go ahead and talk about certain plot details from this comic run that is almost exactly as old as I am. So, if you haven't read it yet (I can't act all that snobby, since I just started reading it last week), you may want to sit this one out. Continue Reading »

THURSDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Practicing yoga may not ease menopausal hot flashes, but it might help women sleep a bit easier, a new clinical trial suggests.
Right now, hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for the hot flashes and night sweats many women develop as they go through menopause. But hormones have been linked to risks like blood clots and heart attack, so many women want alternatives.
Some small studies have suggested that yoga can reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes -- possibly by calming nervous system activity. But that was not the case in this latest trial, which randomly assigned 249 women to either take gentle yoga classes for 12 weeks, or stick with their usual activities.
By the study's end, women in the yoga group were having fewer hot flashes each day -- but so were those in the comparison group.
On the other hand, the yoga practitioners did seem to be sleeping better.
"For the time being, there seems to be little sound evidence that yoga is helpful for hot flashes," said lead researcher Katherine Newton, of the Group Health Research Institute in Seattle.
"However, we did find yoga to be modestly helpful for insomnia," Newton added. That's important, she noted, because sleep problems are one of the most common reasons that women seek some kind of treatment as they go through menopause.
"If insomnia is bothering a woman," Newton said, "this style of gentle yoga, practiced regularly, may be of benefit."
The study was funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and recently published online in the journal Menopause.
It may be too soon to write off yoga as a hot flash remedy, according to another researcher not involved in the study.
Yoga should be seen as a lifestyle change, and it takes time for people to work it into their lives, noted Nancy Woods, a professor at the University of Washington School of Nursing who studies menopause symptoms.
"It's a practice," she said. "You have to learn the poses, get comfortable with them, and then integrate these practices into your daily life."
So it's possible that women need longer than 12 weeks of yoga to see benefits for their hot flashes, according to Woods. Medications would be expected to work in that timeframe, she said, but a lifestyle change "may not have the quick effect that a drug does."
"Women who are already doing yoga should not stop because of this study," Woods added.
And if women with menopause symptoms are interested in starting yoga, she added, it's worth a try. Even if it doesn't cool their hot flashes, Woods noted, there could be other gains, like reduced stress, better sleep and the health benefits of physical exercise.
The findings are based on 249 women who were suffering seven to eight hot flashes per day, on average; 107 were randomly assigned to take up yoga, while the rest stuck with their normal daily routines.
Women in the yoga group took 12 weekly classes that included gentle yoga poses, breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation. They were also given a DVD and yoga props to use at home.
After 12 weeks, the women were having fewer hot flashes -- less than five per day, on average. But women in the comparison group reported a similar change. The only difference between the groups was in insomnia symptoms, which improved to a greater degree in the yoga group.
Woods said that women who feel they need a quick remedy for their hot flashes might want to talk to their doctor about hormone therapy. But if they're interested in a lifestyle change, yoga could be part of that.
"There's no right or wrong answer," Woods said.
But both she and Newton said that, as with any type of exercise, women should check with their health provider before starting a new routine. There are also many different styles of yoga, some of which are vigorous and may not be appropriate for everyone.
So before you jump into a yoga class, it's a good idea, according to Woods, to talk to someone at the center about the style taught there.
You'll also have to foot the bill. Yoga class prices vary, but typically range between $10 and $20.
