Kehinde Wiley (born 1977) is a New York-based portrait painter who is known for his highly naturalistic paintings of black people in heroic poses. The Columbus Museum of Art, which hosted an exhibition of his work in 2007, describes his work with the following: "Kehinde Wiley has gained recent acclaim for his heroic portraits which address the image and status of young African-American men in contemporary culture."
Kehinde Wiley was born in Los Angeles, California in 1977. His father is Yoruba from Nigeria, and his mother is African-American. As a child, his mother supported his interest in art and enrolled him in after-school art classes. At the age of 12, he spent a short time at an art school in Russia.
Wiley did not grow up with his father, and at the age of 20 Wiley traveled to Nigeria to explore his roots and meet him.[3] He earned his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1999 and his MFA from Yale University, School of Art in 2001.
He often references Old Masters paintings for the pose of the figure.[4] Wiley's paintings often blur the boundaries between traditional and contemporary modes of representation. Rendered in a realistic mode—while making references to specific Old Master paintings—Wiley creates a fusion of period styles, ranging from French Rococo, Islamic architecture and West African textile design to urban hip hop and the "Sea Foam Green" of a Martha Stewart Interiors color swatch. Wiley's slightly larger than life size figures are depicted in a heroic manner, as their poses connote power and spiritual awakening. Wiley's portrayal of masculinity is filtered through these poses of power and spirituality.
Wiley's Napoleon Leading the Army Over the Alps (2005) is based on Napoleon Crossing the Alps (1800) by Jacques-Louis David, often regarded as a "masterpiece", now restaged by Wiley with an African rider wearing modern army fatigues and a bandanna. Wiley "investigates the perception of blackness and creates a contemporary hybrid Olympus in which tradition is invested with a new street credibility".[5]
His portraits are based on photographs of young men whom Wiley sees on the street. He painted men from Harlem's 125th Street, as well as the South Central Los Angeles neighborhood where he was born. Dressed in street clothes, his models were asked to assume poses from the paintings of Renaissance masters, such as Tiziano Vecellio and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Wiley describes his approach as "interrogating the notion of the master painter, at once critical and complicit." Wiley's figurative paintings "quote historical sources and position young black men within that field of power." In this manner, Wiley's paintings fuse history and style in a unique and contemporary manner.
His work is found in many public collections throughout the world, including the Toledo Museum of Art; the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia; San Antonio Museum of Art; Minneapolis Institute of Art; Brooklyn Museum; Columbus Museum of Art; the DIA – Detroit Institute of Arts in Detroit, Michigan; Kansas City Museum; Oak Park Public Library in Oak Park, Illinois; Studio Museum in Harlem in New York, New York; The Jewish Museum (New York) in New York, New York; High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia; Phoenix Art Museum in Phoenix, Arizona; Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, California; Hammer Museum, in Los Angeles, California; Milwaukee Art Museum; Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina, Nasher Museum of Art in Durham, North Carolina, and Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. Wiley had a retrospective in 2016 at Seattle Art Museum.[6]
In October 2011, Wiley received the Artist of the Year Award from the New York City Art Teachers Association/United Federation of Teachers. He also received Canteen Magazine's Artist of the Year Award. Two of Wiley's paintings were featured on the top of 500 New York City taxi cabs in early 2011 as a collaboration with the Art Production Fund.
Wiley is featured in a commercial on the USA as a 2010 Character Honoree.[7] Puma AG commissioned Wiley to paint four portraits of prominent African soccer players. Patterns from his paintings were incorporated into Puma athletic gear.[3] The complete series, Legends of Unity: World Cup 2010, was exhibited in early 2010 at Deitch Projects in New York City.[8]
His work was exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery as part of the Recognize exhibit in 2008.[9] Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic, a retrospective at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (Richmond, VA), in the summer of 2016 (June 11-September 5) assembled nearly 60 of his paintings and sculptures.

Souleymane Diamanka est un artiste français qui pratique le slam. Se distinguant d'artistes tels Grand Corps Malade, le jeune homme s'inscrit dans la tradition orale des Peuls, un peuple de bergers qui fait de la parole un art. Souleymane grandit à Bordeaux, à la Clairière des Aubiers, un ensemble HLM. L'artiste découvre très tôt l'écriture en classe de CE2 pour ne plus s'en passer. Il découvre ensuite la culture hip hop qui le mène, en 1994, à enregistrer son premier texte. Il travaille alors, entre autres, avec les Nubians. Il écume de nombreuses scènes et, en avril 2007, il livre son tout premier projet baptisé L'Hiver Peul. Origines : On aurait pu dire de Souleymane Diamanka qu'il marche sur les traces de Grand Corps Malade. Mais la renommée n'est pas le seul critère pour définir une ancienneté. Car même si le grand public ne connaît pas encore son nom, Souleymane (dit Duajaabi Jeneba) s'investit depuis bien longtemps dans la musique. Originaire de la région bordelaise, il a notamment eu l'occasion de croiser la route des Nubians et leur a offert deux titres. Plus jeune, le slammeur a découvert la poésie à l'école. Il a apprécié cet art et s'est inspiré de la tradition orale des Peuls, un peuple nomade du Sahel. Ingrédients : Aux côtés du concepteur musical Woodini, l'artiste a travaillé pendant plusieurs mois sur L'Hiver Peul pour livrer 15 morceaux sobres et un peu nostalgiques. La musique, à base de percussions, de cordes, de bois… se confond sans problème avec ses textes très étudiés. Dans la chanson-titre, il rend bien sûr hommage à ses ancêtres, en incluant la voix de son père, qui perpétue la tradition peul. Il évoque aussi la haine, à travers un message quelque peu désabusé et bourré de poésie. Mais ce premier album n'est pas une référence basique à un lieu ou à un pays ; il s'agit tout simplement du témoignage d'un grand amoureux des mots.

Born 24 April 1952 in Arcueil, Val-de-Marne, France) is a French haute couture and prêt-à-porter fashion designer. Gaultier was the creative director of Hermès from 2003 to 2010. Jean-Paul Gaultier co-presented the popular television series Eurotrash with Antoine de Caunes. Jean-Paul Gaultier grew up in the suburb of Paris. His mother was a clerk and his father an accountant. It was his maternal grandmother, Marie Garrabe, who introduced him to the world of fashion. He never received formal training as a designer. Instead, he started sending sketches to famous couture stylists at an early age. Pierre Cardin was impressed by his talent and hired him as an assistant in 1970. Afterwards he worked with Jacques Esterel in 1971 and Jean Patou later that year, then returning to manage the Pierre Cardin boutique in Manila for a year in 1974.
His first individual collection was released in 1976, and his characteristic irreverent style dating from 1981 has led to his being known as the enfant terrible of French fashion. Many of Gaultier's following collections have been based on street wear, focusing on popular culture, whereas others, particularly his haute couture collections, are very formal yet at the same time unusual and playful.[5]
Although most people found his designs decadent at the time, fashion editors, notably Melka Tréanton of Elle, Claude Brouet and Catherine Lardeur of French Marie Claire, were impressed by his creativity and mastery of tailoring and later launched his career.[6][7][8][9][10] In 1985, he introduced man-skirts and promoted their use, especially kilts,[1] in men's wardrobe, and the release of designer collections.[4] Jean-Paul Gaultier has also worked in close collaboration with Wolford Hosiery.[11][12]
Jean-Paul Gaultier caused shock by using unconventional models for his exhibitions, like older men and full-figured women, pierced and heavily tattooed models, and by playing with traditional gender roles in the shows. This earned him both criticism and enormous popularity.[4]
At the end of the 1980s, Gaultier suffered some personal losses, including his boyfriend and business partner Francis Menuge, who died of AIDS-related causes.[1]
In 1988 Gaultier released a dance single titled "How To Do That" on Fontana records from which came one of the first ever "single title" remix albums "Aow Tou Dou Zat" on Mercury records.[13] The album includes mixes by Norman Cook, J. J. Jeczalik, George Shilling, Mark Saunders, Latin Rascals, David Dorrell, Tim Atkins, Carl Atkins, and Kurtis Mantronik. Co-written & produced by Tony Mansfield, video directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino.[14] The album also featured a collaboration with accordion player Yvette Horner.
Starting in 1993, he co-hosted the Channel 4's program Eurotrash with Antoine de Caunes. Gaultier hosted the show until 1997.[15]
Gaultier was the creative director of Hermès from 2003 to 2010,[16] where he succeeded Martin Margiela.[17]
He is also well known for sponsoring the 2003–04 exhibit in the Costume Institute of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art entitled "Braveheart: Men in Skirts," which showed designs by Dries van Noten, Vivienne Westwood, and Rudi Gernreich in addition to Gaultier's in order to "examine[s] designers and individuals who have appropriated the skirt as a means of injecting novelty into male fashion, as a means of transgressing moral and social codes, and as a means of redefining an ideal masculinity."[18][19]
He also designed some furniture for the French furniture brand Roche Bobois.[20] In 2011, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in collaboration with the Maison Jean Paul Gaultier organized a retrospective exhibit, "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk."[21] That exhibit is on tour with venues at the Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design (Arkitektur- och designcentrum, ArkDes) in Stockholm,[4] the Brooklyn Museum in New York City,[22] the Barbican Centre in London,[23] the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne,[24] and the Grand Palais in Paris. The exhibition in Paris, which took place from April to August 2015, was the subject of a documentary called Jean Paul Gaultier at the Grand Palais aired exclusively on Eurochannel.[25]
In 2012, he was named as a member of the Jury for the Main Competition at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.[27] This is the first time a fashion designer was called to sit on a jury at the festival.[28] He also designed the dress that Anggun wore as she represented France during the grand-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 held in Baku, Azerbaijan.[29] That year, he also participated in the Cali ExpoShow in Cali (Colombia), showing his extensive collection of perfumes and all classic clothes.[30]
Up until 2014, he designed for three collections: his own couture and ready-to-wear lines, for both men and women. At the spring/summer 2015 show he announced that he was closing the ready-to-wear labels to focus on haute couture.[31]
Susanne Bartsch is an event producer whose outlandish, over-the-top monthly parties at the Copacabana in the late 1980s united the haute and demi-monde, and made her an icon of New York nightlife. "Ms. Bartsch's name," according to The New York Times, is "the night life equivalent of a couture label, thanks to the numerous extravaganzas she staged in cities from Montreal to Miami."
Born in Switzerland, Bartsch left her family at the age of 17 and moved to London, where she became an intimate of such celebrities as Jimmy Page, Malcolm McLaren, and many others. After moving to New York City in 1981, she opened a clothing boutique in SoHo that provided early exposure for British designers, including Vivienne Westwood, BodyMap, John Galliano, and milliner Stephen Jones. She also helped launch the careers of young American designers Alpana Bawa and Michael Leva, and was an associate of the Club Kids.
By the late 1980s, the economy was slowing and with retail sales for edgy clothing increasingly difficult, Bartsch began organizing weekly parties at prominent NYC nightclubs such as Savage, Bentley's, and, finally, the Copacabana. Bartsch created the "Love Ball" in 1989 and raised $2.5 million to fight AIDS. For the first time, dance/vogueing/presentation and Houses inspired by drag balls in Harlem were introduced to a national audience.
Bartsch took part in philanthropic work, running annual holiday toy drives along with her partner David Barton, whom she married in a lavish 1995 wedding. The pair separated in late 2010.
In 2015, The Museum at FIT mounted an exhibit celebrating her famous costumes.

The Guru of Golf
And Other Stories about the Game of Life
HayHouse.com: $3.00
List Price: $19.95 (Save 85%)
Availability: Usually ships within 2 to 3 business days
Publisher: Hay House
Publication Date: 5/12/10
In this collection of 18 short stories, The Guru of Golf celebrates perhaps one of the most widely popular of athletic pursuits. Thomas Moore shows us how golf can be a perfect metaphor for life itself—endlessly mysterious, joyful, and captivating, yet at times unbearable. From the tee to the green, he intertwines modern and classical tales that illustrate the challenges players face—on and off the course. A game rife with strict rules on etiquette and both physically and mentally taxing, golf tests the body, mind, and spirit.
Humorous and insightful, The Guru of Golf captures the range of emotions associated with its players' ardent determination; searches for meaning behind quiet, solitary moments; and reveals the struggles that try our patience, as well as the victories that make the game—and life—worthwhile.

PCB fab - what worked for me
Nothing revolutionary... actually I'm writing this as a reference for myself. If it can help others, that's a bonus
The tools: - photoresist blank pcb, from Bungard - developper, Sodium hydroxide from Kemo - etchant, fecl3 - three plastic boxes, one a bit bigger - one UV nail curer, 36W (4 tubes), plenty on ebay for cheap, the bottom drawer removed - rubber gloves Procedure: - The day before etching, print the layout on normal paper. Then, pour a bit of olive oil on it and rub over the layout. Remove the excess oil and let dry during the night. - Start the UV machine - Cut the paper and the blank pcb to size while it preheats - In a dark room, remove the protection film, put the mask over the pcb and expose for about 7min (I put the pcb and the mask in a cd case to keep them close) - During exposure, prepare the developing bath in a first plastic recipient, inside the sink. Starting now, put on rubber gloves and protection glasses, caustic soda is hazardous ! 1 teaspoon of caustic soda for 25cl of water (just using cold water from the tap). Mix well. - When the pcb is exposed, develop. About 20sec is fine. The developer is a tad strong, most of the reaction will happen very quickly. Shake a bit the pcb in the bath to properly finish it. Don't scrap it though. - If you're not doing other pcbs, flush the developer down the drain with a lot of water. - Dry the pcb and prepare the etchant. Pour boiling water in the bigger box, put the second plastic recipient in the boiling water and fill it with enough fecl3 to easily cover your board. The etchant needs to be warmish, otherwise the process takes way too long and the resist will start to fail. Careful, wear old clothes, the etchant destroy fabrics and colors everything it touches. I do this outside for these reasons and to avoid the fumes. - Dump the pcb inside the etchant and move it around (a wooden fork is handy). When done, rinse and dry. - For now, I put the etchant back into the bigger bottle. I've done quite a few pcbs with it and it doesn't seem to lose bite too quickly. When it goes weak, bring the bottle to a waste collection center. Not a good idea to dump copper ions down the drain.

Thanks for the info, I will try it out on a small scale board next time the need arises.
My favorite things are "things that work". Sharing them with others can help in "cutting to the chase" and save time, money, and frustrantion. I have too much of the latter and too little of the first two! |

I'm assuming that you used a laser printer. I don't think an inkjet print would cope well with olive oil.
Did you try transparancy film? I have an inkjet and HP's own film has always worked well for me (on best quality setting).

I indeed use a laser printer.
Didn't try transparency films. It's widely known to work though. But I'd have to re-run calibration tests for the exposure time. I'm a bit lazy ;-)

Micro Conflicts: Moving Scenes Forward
Conflict is an essential element of narrative. Just about anyone will recognize larger conflicts, even the seven basic conflicts, as plot, but some of the best conflict occurs in small scale. Keeping interest can equate to maintaining some kind of conflict tension from scene to scene and chapter to chapter. If the story keeps all the satisfaction and resolution until the end, most readers will lose interest or start to chaff against constantly being strung along. Of course, this is

About Our Festival
Whitby Sea Festival is an annual festival which takes place in and around the historic Yorkshire seaport of Whitby, one of Britain's premier maritime heritage sites.
The festival celebrates Whitby and the Yorkshire Coast's proud connections to fishing, the sea and maritime heritage.
Since its beginnings in 1993 as The Captain Cook Festival and then for 12 years at Seafest in Scarborough, the event has staged some of the biggest gatherings of sea balladeers, shantymen, folk musicians and singers in the UK.
The festival promotes local musicians alongside those with international acclaim. So far, our programme has included the cream of the folk, roots, sea music and the shanty world .We have also enjoyed music from other nations including Senegal, Sicily, Canada, Eire, Luxembourg, Germany, Holland, France and the USA.
Once again the festival is based in The Met on Argyle Road, West Cliff where you will find our box office, Shop Point and the main venue for ticketed events.
On Saturday Evening we present 'Whitby Ahoy!' - our Grand Festival Concert, at the Whitby Pavilion Theatre. Tickets can be purchased on this site or from www.whitbypavilion.co.uk. Please note the Weekend Ticket does not include this concert - an extra ticket is required.
During Saturday and Sunday there will also be Shanties and Sea Songs aplenty at the Bandstand free for all to enjoy so make sure to catch them.
There's a great variety of activities across the weekend including Maritime themed concerts, workshops, singarounds, sessions and the popular 'Song for the Sea' song competition. For the first time this year, there will also be a maritime photo competition, judged by Mike Shaw from the Sutcliffe Gallery.
Whitby Sea Festival brings the town alive with the sound of Shanties and Sea Songs.
A great little Festival with the sea at it's heart
Special WW1 themed events
We have been working throughout 2015 and 2016 with young people from Whitby and the surrounding area to research events that took place in the town during the Great War and create musical and theatrical performances based on this research. Check out the Programme for more info....

BP PLC is seeking up to $7.9 billion for a group of oilfields in the Gulf of Mexico, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Maximum proceeds from BP's sale, before tax payments, can range from $5 billion to $6 billion. Shell has prepared preliminary information for prospective bidders on the blocks Horn Mountain, Holstein, Diana Hoover and Ram Powell fields.
"We don't comment on speculation about the value of assets we are marketing. But no one should confuse our effort to sell these older, non-strategic assets, which we announced months ago, with our ongoing commitment to the Gulf of Mexico. As we have repeatedly stated, we intend to continue investing at least $4 billion annually in the Gulf over the next decade, maintaining our position as the largest oil and gas investor, leaseholder and producer in the region," a BP spokesperson told Rigzone Tuesday afternoon.

Along with the sick...my stitching mojo went out the backdoor as well, so I didn't get much stitching done. Only really started again this weekend, so here's a quick scan of the progress on BOAF's - Bitter Flower Sampler. I love how it's turning out...and hoping to have a finish of it this week.
I didn't have much to add my TUSAL jar, but here that is as well, it holds the orts of the finish of the humminbird, Reindeer, He's a flake and Snowy pines. All the ornies were stitched over one so it didn't have much bulk.

£904.00 |
Average critic rating : 88.0 points
86Typical of so many of the 1983s, Leoville-Barton started off life hard and austere, but it has aged quickly. There are still some tough tannins in the finish, but the amber color at the edge and lean finish suggest to me that waiting any longer could be dangerous. The wine is in good shape, with medium body and plenty of spicy, berry, herbal fruit present, but I do not see any further improvement taking place. The tannins still appear to be too high for the wine's concentration. Drink it over the next decade. Last tasted, 5/93. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 88 |
90Beautiful wine with wonderful subtlety and finesse. Complex aromas and flavors of tobacco, plum and berries, full bodied yet reserved and silky. Drink or hold.--The Bordeaux 50. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 1994. |

The digital display will indicate the amount of power being sent to the trailer brakes and can be adjusted to display in three modes (percent of power, voltage, or current). The digital display provides visual warning of several fault conditions including current limit, short or open circuit, and hazard flash indicator. Easy to use manual slide operates independently of power setting to allow full braking output when desired. For 2, 4 or 6 electric brakes. Lifetime warranty.

President's Message
This is an exciting time for the University! Fresno State is stronger than ever – a place of growing discovery, diversity and distinction. Applications from talented and diverse undergraduates from throughout the Valley and state hit a record number this year. In fact, our applications have increased at a rate that is twice the CSU average. As I meet these students on campus, I am impressed with the excellence they bring to Fresno State. As we strengthen our student success initiatives, we are seeing our graduation rate steadily improving. The six-year rate is projected to increase to nearly 58 percent this year. That is more than a 9 percentage-point increase in the past two years. Our goal is to achieve a 70 percent graduation rate by 2023, and we are well on our way! Thanks to the bold efforts of our faculty and staff, there is much to be proud of at Fresno State.

After the arrest, reporter Lauren Gold talked to Schwyzer. He said he's sorry and shouldn't be driving.
You might remember Schwyzer invited porn queen Jessica Drake to speak to his class earlier this year. He also visited with James Deen, who is a PCC alum.
This past summer Schwyzer admitted to me that he had slept with students in his office on campus. That's allegedly a violation of school policy that Schwyzer helped write.

Take a peek: Crime Time
Porn industry considers its options
The porn industry spent much of the past few days considering its options now that Los Angeles County voters have approved Measure B. The ordinance requires that condoms should be used in porn movies shot in LA.
Not so fast. First of all it won't apply in Long Beach, Vernon or Pasadena.
But it also won't apply in other cities in the county, unless (and until) the various city councils decide to adopt Measure B's provisions. At least that's the opinion of adultbizlaw.com in a post titled "Ballot Measure B – So What Happens Now?"
In order for this law to take effect in cities such as Los Angeles, Glendale, Malibu or any of the 85 independent towns and cities in Los Angeles County – each one of those cities will have to independently debate, vote on and themselves pass/adopt Ballot Measure B as law in their town. How long will that take is anyone's guess at this point. And it is not certain that all 85 independent towns and cities will even adopt Ballot Measure B. I can envision a situation in which some of the smaller towns that do not have any contact with the adult entertainment industry will simply ignore this law entirely.
Meanwhile the folks behind Measure B are looking for ways to take it statewide.
This from the Long Beach Press-Telegram:
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation said Thursday it is seeking a state lawmaker to carry a bill that would broaden the power of the state and local governments to enforce health codes requiring condom use on porn sets.
Stay tuned. it's going to get interesting.
Vivid Entertainment owner says condoms bad for porn biz
An open letter (
from Vivid Entertainment Founder Steven Hirsch takes aim at a proposed Los Angeles County ballot measure that would require porn actors to wear condoms on set.
"Bottom line: Measure B is a bad idea. Our County officials have no business regulating sexual behavior between consenting adults, intervening into how films are produced, or invading our bedrooms — real or pretend."
Porn production in LA hit by syphilis scare
A porn performer has tested positive for syphilis and a possible shutdown of the industry is looming, officials said. The outbreak may have originated in Europe.
From the LA Times:
Los Angeles County's Public Health Department said it was investigating a
cluster of possible syphilis cases within the porn industry.The agency
said it had received reports of at least five cases involving adult
performers within a week.
RIP Felicia Tang — porn queen
Turns out the victim of a homicide in Monrovia last weekend was none other than porno actress Felicia Tang.
The cat did it

Keith R. Griffin, of the 3600 block of Northeast Jeannette Drive, was charged Wednesday with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after detectives found more than 1,000 child pornographic images on his computer, according to a news release.
El Monte man charged in federal child porn case after applying for job with CHP
From an FBI press release:
PORNOGRAPHY ATTEMPTED TO WORK FOR LAW ENFORCEMENTLos Angeles – An El Monte man who was arrested for molesting a minor, has been charged federally with the possession and production of illegal pornographic images of his victim. The SAFE Team (Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement), which includes investigators with multiple state, local and federal agencies, is releasing the man's photograph in order to locate additional victims that may not yet have been identified.
This investigation was initiated when investigators with the California Highway Patrol uncovered alleged criminal activity during a preliminary employment background check. Written responses made during the applicant process led to a CHP investigation of Christian Hernandez, 29, for the alleged molestation of a five year-old child. According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Hernandez applied to be an officer with the California Highway Patrol in October 2008.
Hernandez admitted on an employment questionnaire that he had accessed illegal pornography on the Internet, and had viewed illicit photos of a minor as recently as one-month prior to applying for employment, according to the complaint.
Porn queen died from natural causes
This from LA Now regarding the death of porn actress Marilyn Chambers:
"The findings of the autopsy," according to the coroner's report, "have established the cause of death to be: effects of cerebral hemorrhage, ruptured cerebral artery berry aneurysm. Other conditions: Hypertrophic heart disease."
Toxicology tests showed that two drugs in her system — hydrocodone and citalopram — were "within or below therapeutic levels."
A final autopsy will be available in several weeks, coroner's officials said.
$50,000 Porn star prostitutes
SANTA ANA – A Florida woman is accused of making more than $8.5 million from an online prostitution business that claimed to employ porn stars and fashion models.
Michelle Braun appeared Monday in federal court in Orange County and was allowed to remain free pending her next pretrial hearing next month.
The Boca Raton woman is accused of charging clients $50,000 or more to spend the night with adult film stars, models, and actresses. Prosecutors say she used her travel business, Global Travel Network Inc., to launder the money.
Braun pleaded not guilty in March to money laundering and transporting someone for prostitution purposes. Under a plea agreement, prosecutors say she is expected to change her plea to guilty before her next hearing.
Braun and her lawyer declined to comment.
The OC Register broke this story Tuesday. The story claims that porn queen McKenzie Lee was among those offered to clients…

More about this marker. The marker is located in the Sitting Garden of Utica Park, between the south parking lot and restrooms.
Also see . . . Gold Mine on Fire. In addition to the cave-in disaster reported on the marker, the Utica suffered a serious fire on August 17, 1897, as depicted in this wire report: "The great Utica mine is on fire. Flames and smoke were discovered issuing from the 800-foot level this morning. It was with difficulty that the shift made their escape. Six men were cut off, but made their way through the new shaft. The fire is supposed to have originated from spontaneous combustion caused by lard and coal oil. It is impossible at present to estimate the loss that the fire will cause, but it is safe to say it will amount to $500,000. Not only are the mine owners affected but the whole town of Angels which contains a population of 6,000, almost dependent upon the thousand miners employed in the Utica group of mines. Every effort is being made to quench the fire, but gas and smoke is escaping from all the shafts...." (Submitted on December 19, 2009.)

Manthous; Gregory A. Schmidt; Jesse B. Hall ++ KEY POINTS ++ Patients are candidates for liberation from mechanical ventilation when gas exchange or circulatory disturbances which precipitated respiratory failure have been reversed. More than half of all critically ill patients can be successfully liberated from mechanical ventilation after a brief trial of spontaneous breathing on the first day that reversal of precipitating factors is recognized. Gradual reduction of mechanical support, termed weaning, is frequently unnecessary and can prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation. Once a patient has been liberated from the ventilator, extubation should follow if mechanisms of airway maintenance (cough, gag, swallow) are sufficient to protect the airway from secretions. Whether to extubate is a decision which follows successful liberation from the ventilator. In patients who fail their first trial of spontaneous breathing, attention should turn to defining and treating the pathophysiologic processes underlying failure. One weaning regimen, the gradual reduction of intermittent mandatory breaths, prolongs patients' time on mechanical ventilation. Liberation from mechanical ventilation is achieved most expeditiously if patients are given a trial of spontaneous breathing (T-Piece or pressure support ≤7 cm H2O) each day. Patients remain on ventilators unnecessarily when clinicians do not put this simple plan in place. Patients who have had most correctable factors addressed and remain marginal with regard to ventilatory capacity should in most circumstances undergo a trial of extubation rather than remain intubated for protracted periods of time. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation may be useful in these patients to transition them to fully spontaneous breathing following extubation. ++ Positive pressure ventilation can be lifesaving, but is also associated with many complications (Table 60-1). Most studies have demonstrated that earlier withdrawal of mechanical ventilatory support, when feasible, is associated with better outcomes. We will outline principles and approaches to the withdrawal of mechanical ventilation in a way to achieve this milestone at the earliest possible time and in a safe fashion. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTABLE 60-1Complications Associated With Endotracheal Intubation and Mechanical VentilationView Large|Favorite Table|Download (.pdf) TABLE 60-1 Complications Associated With Endotracheal Intubation and Mechanical Ventilation Complications Related to the Endotracheal Tube Endotracheal tube malfunction—mucus plug, cuff leak Endotracheal tube malposition Self-extubation Nasal or oral necrosis Pneumonia Laryngeal edema Tracheal erosion Sinusitis Complications Related to the Ventilator Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) Ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) Alveolar hypoventilation/hyperventilation Atelectasis Hypotension Pneumothorax Diffuse alveolar damage Effects on Other Organ Systems Gastrointestinal hypomotility Pneumoperitoneum Stress gastropathy and gastrointestinal hemorrhage Arrhythmias Salt and water retention Malnutrition ++ LIBERATION STRATEGIES ++ Many intensivists have reasoned that by gradually reducing ventilatory support, the respiratory muscles exercise at subfatiguing loads, leading to gradual improvement of function. Some studies have suggested that respiratory exercises (repetitions of low-load resistive breathing) can lead to successful extubation in patients who have previously failed.1 However, no studies have established that respiratory muscle training, through the use of graded withdrawal of ventilatory support, hastens the recovery ...

I don't often receive calls from rock stars. In fact, I never do. So I was secretly thrilled while trying to be cool when I got a call from The Demon last week.
"Is this Laurie?" he asked in his deep, velvety voice. "This is Gene Simmons." Yes, that Gene Simmons, bass guitarist and singer with Kiss, the rock band he co-founded with rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley in the early 1970s. So what did the alter ego of The Demon, he of the black-white-and-red makeup, platform shoes and Red Carpet length tongue, want to talk about with me?
Food and drinks and classic rock 'n' roll. Simmons, Stanley and three other business partners are opening soon a Rock & Brews restaurant at 3550 Grand Oaks, The Crossings in Corona. The location is in the 6,400-square-foot building occupied by former tenants Bubba Jacks and On the Border.
UPDATE: Corona Rock & Brews opens; Gene Simmons makes surprise stop
Simmons is confident that Corona's R&B will be as wildly popular as the 15 other Rock & Brews he and his pals started opening in 2012. Within the next three to five years, as the quintet ratchets up expansion plans, Simmons said they expect to be a billion dollar company.
Whether in big cities or the heartland, every Rock & Brews they've opened has hit a homer, Simmons said.
So what makes Rock & Brews so successful? "It goes to the essentials," Simmons said. "Nobody has to come. There are choices, so many choices."
The biggest draw, he said, are the Asian chicken wings, "Godzilla-sized" burgers from fresh meat, homemade sauces, salads, including kale, pizzas full of gluten or gluten free, and humongous pretzels.
"You can watch your girlish figure or pig out," Simmons said.
And although he isn't fond of the smell or taste of alcohol, customers can indulge in 100 craft beers, many of them regional. At the grand opening this summer — a date has yet to be determined — you'll probably find Simmons sipping a diet Snapple that's half iced tea, half lemonade.
"People come because they like the experience," Simmons said. "Our restaurants are a little bit different, reminiscent of beer gardens in Germany, wide open with long, communal tables. There's not a sense of, 'I'm a VIP and you're not.' "
R&Bs are not sports bars, but as Simmons puts its, the vibe is "a little sexy," great for mingling. At the same time, the joints are family friendly, filled with games, including ring toss, life-sized Jenga stacking blocks, beanbag toss. The Buena Park R&B, which opened this past September, even sports a beach volleyball court.
"At one end of our restaurants there's a plastic toy area with padded floors, a secluded area for kids where they can put on Kiss makeup," he said. "You can see the play area from everywhere in the restaurant."
Along with displays of memorabilia, multiple televisions will play concert footage or music videos synced to the rock music playing on the speakers.
"Paul and Gene did not do this for the money. They're very wealthy," CEO and founding partner Michael Zislis said of the multi-multi millionaires. The Kiss frontmen helped design the logos, menu, ambiance and oversee the quality of food.
