Rockefeller Center is a large complex consisting of 19 high-rise commercial buildings covering 22 acres (89,000 m2) between 48th and 51st Streets in New York City. Commissioned by the Rockefeller family, it is located in the center of Midtown Manhattan, spanning the area between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987.[2][3][4]
It is famous for its annual Christmas tree lighting.[5]
Rockefeller Center was named after John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who leased the space from Columbia University in 1928 and developed it beginning in 1930. Rockefeller initially planned a syndicate to build an opera house for the Metropolitan Opera on the site, but changed plans after the stock market crash of 1929 and the Metropolitan's continual delays to hold out for a more favorable lease, causing Rockefeller to move forward without them. Rockefeller stated, "It was clear that there were only two courses open to me. One was to abandon the entire development. The other to go forward with it in the definite knowledge that I myself would have to build it and finance it alone."[6] He took on the enormous project as the sole financier, on a 27-year lease[7] (with the option for three 21-year renewals for a total of 87 years) for the site from Columbia; negotiating a line of credit with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and covering ongoing expenses through the sale of oil company stock. The initial cost of acquiring the space, razing some of the existing buildings and constructing new buildings was estimated at $250 million.[8]
It was the largest private building project ever undertaken in modern times.[9] Construction of the 14 buildings in the Art Deco style (without the original opera house proposal) began on May 17, 1930, and the buildings were completed and opened in 1939. Principal builder and "managing agent" for the massive project was John R. Todd. Principal architect was Raymond Hood, working with and leading three architectural firms on a team that included a young Wallace Harrison, later to become the family's principal architect and adviser to Nelson Rockefeller. The construction of the project employed over 40,000 people.[10]
It was the public relations pioneer Ivy Lee, the prominent adviser to the family, who first suggested the name "Rockefeller Center" for the complex, in 1931. Rockefeller, Jr., initially did not want the Rockefeller family name associated with the commercial project, but was persuaded on the grounds that the name would attract far more tenants.[11]
What could have become a major controversy in the mid-1930s concerned the last of the four European buildings that remained unnamed. Ivy Lee and others made attempts to rent the space to German commercial concerns and name it the Deutsches Haus. Rockefeller ruled this out after being advised of Hitler's Nazi march toward World War II, and thus the empty office site became the International Building North.[12]
This subsequently became the primary location of the U.S. operations of British Intelligence, British Security Coordination (BSC) during the War, with Room 3603 becoming the principal operations center for Allied intelligence, organized by William Stephenson, as well as the office of the future head of what was later to become the Central Intelligence Agency, Allen Dulles.[13][14]
In 1985, Columbia University sold the land beneath Rockefeller Center to the Rockefeller Group for $400 million.[15] In 1989, Mitsubishi Estate, a real estate company of the Mitsubishi Group, purchased the entire Rockefeller Center complex, and its owner, Rockefeller Group. In 1996, the entire complex was purchased by a consortium of owners that included Goldman Sachs (which had 50 percent ownership), Gianni Agnelli, Stavros Niarchos, and David Rockefeller, who organized the consortium. Tishman Speyer, led by Jerry Speyer, a close friend of David Rockefeller, and the Lester Crown family of Chicago, bought the original 14 buildings and land in 2000 for $1.85 billion.[16]
Buildings in the complex[edit]
The current Center is a combination of two building complexes: the original 14 Art Deco office buildings from the 1930s, one building across 51st Street built in 1947, and a set of four International-style towers built along the west side of Avenue of the Americas during the 1960s and 1970s.
Original complex[edit]
The landmark buildings comprise over 8,000,000 square feet (743,000 m2) on 22 acres (89,000 m2) in Midtown, bounded by Fifth and Sixth avenues, and from 48th Street to 51st Street. These are co-owned by Tishman-Speyer, and open to the public.
- 1 Rockefeller Plaza – The original Time–Life Building; an original tenant was General Dynamics, for whom the building was briefly named.
- 10 Rockefeller Plaza – Originally the Holland House, then the Eastern Air Lines Building. Currently home of Today Show studios.[17] and the Nintendo World Store.
- 30 Rockefeller Plaza ("30 Rock") – Originally the RCA Building, in 1988 it was renamed the GE Building, and in 2015 became the Comcast Building. Headquarters of NBC, the Rainbow Room restaurant is located on the 65th floor.
- 50 Rockefeller Plaza – Formerly the Associated Press Building and home to many news agencies. Isamu Noguchi's large, nine-ton stainless steel panel, News, holds the place of honor above the building's entrance. Noguchi's design depicts the various forms of communications used by journalists in the 1930s. The only building in the Center built to the outer limits of its lot line, 50 Rock took its shape from the main tenant's need for a single, undivided, loft-like newsroom as large as the lot could accommodate. At one point, four million feet of transmission wire were embedded in conduits on the building's fourth floor.
- 1230 Avenue of the Americas – Formerly U.S. Rubber/Uniroyal Building, now the Simon & Schuster Building

30 Rockefeller Plaza[edit]
The centerpiece of Rockefeller Center is the 70-floor, 872 ft (266 m)-tall building at 30 Rockefeller Center, centered behind the sunken plaza. It is alternatively known as the Comcast Building and 30 Rock (also the name of a comedy television show), and formerly known as the RCA Building and then the GE Building. The building is the setting for the famous Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper photograph, taken by Charles C. Ebbets in 1932 of construction workers sitting on a steel beam without safety harnesses eating lunch above an 840-foot (260 m) drop to the ground.
The RCA Building was renamed in 1988, two years after General Electric (GE) re-acquired RCA, which it helped found in 1919, and then it was renamed the Comcast Building in 2015 after Comcast purchased General Electric's entertainment assets in 2013. The famous Rainbow Room restaurant is located on the 65th floor; the Rockefeller family office occupies the 54th through 56th floors. The skyscraper is the headquarters of NBC and houses most of the network's New York TV studios, including 6A, former home of Late Night with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Dr. Oz Show; 6B, home of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and now home of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon; 8G, home of Late Night with Seth Meyers; 8H, former radio home of the NBC Symphony (conducted by Arturo Toscanini), and since 1975 home of Saturday Night Live; plus the operations of NBC News, MSNBC and network flagship station WNBC-TV. NBC currently owns the space it occupies in the building as a condominium arrangement. Rockefeller Center's legacy as "Radio City" has its roots at 30 Rock. Until 1988, the building also housed the studio and operations of the company's flagship radio station WNBC, which ceased broadcasting that year when its frequency was sold by NBC.[22]
Unlike most other Art Deco towers built during the 1930s, the Comcast Building was constructed as a slab with a flat roof and since 1933 has been home of the Center's observation deck, the Top of the Rock. The Center's owner, Tishman Speyer Properties, carried out a $75 million makeover of the observation area between 1985 and 2005. It spans from the 67th–70th floors and includes a multimedia exhibition exploring the history of the Center. On the 70th floor, accessible by both stairs and elevator, there is a 20-foot (6.1 m) wide viewing area, allowing visitors a unique 360-degree panoramic view of New York City.[23][24]
At the front of 30 Rock is the Lower Plaza, in the very center of the complex, which is reached from 5th Avenue through the Channel Gardens and Promenade. The acclaimed sculptor Paul Manship was commissioned in 1933 to create a masterwork (see below) to adorn the central axis, below the famed annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, but all the other original plans to fill the space were abandoned over time.
In 1936, The Rink at Rockefeller Center was constructed after Nelson Rockefeller found that a new system had been invented allowing artificial outdoor ice skating, enabling him to bring the pastime to midtown New York City.[25] An immediate tourist attraction, the rink has become one of the most famous skating rinks in the world.[26]
Radio City Music Hall[edit]
Radio City Music Hall, at 50th Street and Sixth Avenue, was completed in December 1932. At the time, it was promoted as the largest and most opulent theater in the world. Its original intended name was the "International Music Hall"[27] but this was changed to reflect the name of its neighbor, "Radio City," as the new NBC Studios in the RCA Building were known. RCA was one of the complex's first and most important tenants and the entire Center itself was sometimes referred to as "Radio City."
The Music Hall was planned by a consortium of three architectural firms, who employed Edward Durell Stone to design the exterior. Through the direction of Abby Rockefeller, the interior design was given to Donald Deskey, an exponent of the European Modernist style and innovator of a new American design aesthetic. Deskey believed the space would be best served by sculptures and wall paintings and commissioned various artists for the large elaborate works in the theater. The Music Hall seats 6,000 people and after an initial slow start became the single biggest tourist destination in the city. Its interior was declared a New York City landmark in 1978. Painstakingly restored in 1999, the Music Hall interiors are one of the world's greatest examples of Art Deco design.
In 1979, after decades as a premiere showcase for motion pictures and elaborate stage shows, the theater converted to presenting touring performers and special events. Each holiday season features the annual musical stage show, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, a tradition for more than 70 years. The enormous stage, with its elevators and turntables, has also offered Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, the Grammy and Tony Awards, and countless other events. One of New York's most popular tourist attractions, the Music Hall has been attended by more than 300 million people.
Underground concourse[edit]
A series of shop- and restaurant-filled, underground pedestrian passages stretch from 47th Street to 51st Street, and from Fifth Avenue to Seventh Avenue. Access is via lobby stairways in the six landmark buildings, through restaurants surrounding the Concourse-level skating rink, and elevators to the north and south of the rink. There is a connection to the New York City Subway via the western concourse, to 47th–50th Streets – Rockefeller Center station below Sixth Avenue (B D F M trains).
Pre-existing buildings[edit]
Two small buildings abut the north and south corners of 1250 Avenue of the Americas. These buildings exist as a result of two tenants, one a leaseholder, the other the property owner, who refused to sell their rights to Rockefeller during construction. In 1892, a trio of Irishmen leased the property at 1240 Sixth Avenue, and opened Hurley's, a popular pub that operated through prohibition as a speakeasy. Rockefeller bought the building, but their lease trumped his property rights. They offered to sell their rights to him for $250 million (roughly the cost of the entire complex), which he refused. Meanwhile, at 1258 Sixth Avenue on the other corner, owner John F. Maxwell simply refused to sell. In the end, Rockefeller was forced to construct the center around the existing buildings.[28]
Sculptures, artwork, and features[edit]
Some 200 flagpoles line the plaza at street level. Flagpoles around the plaza display flags of United Nations member countries, the U.S. states and territories, or decorative and seasonal motifs. During national and state holidays, every pole carries the flag of the United States.[29]
Center art[edit]
Rockefeller Center represents a turning point in the history of architectural sculpture: it is among the last major building projects in the United States to incorporate a program of integrated public art. Sculptor Lee Lawrie contributed the largest number of individual pieces – twelve, including the statue of Atlas facing Fifth Avenue and the conspicuous friezes above the main entrance to the Comcast Building.
A large number of artists contributed work at the Center, including Isamu Noguchi, whose gleaming stainless steel bas-relief, News, over the main entrance to 50 Rockefeller Plaza (the Associated Press Building) was a standout. At the time it was the largest metal bas-relief in the world. Other artists included Carl Milles, Hildreth Meiere, Margaret Bourke-White, Dean Cornwell, and Leo Friedlander.
Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of the Comcast Building. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription, a paraphrase from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends."
Man at the Crossroads[edit]
In 1932, the Mexican socialist artist Diego Rivera (whose sponsor was the Museum of Modern Art and whose patron at the time was Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, the wife of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.), was commissioned by their son Nelson Rockefeller to create a color fresco for the 1,071-square-foot (99 m2) wall in the lobby of the then-RCA Building. This was after Nelson had been unable to secure the commissioning of either Matisse or Picasso. Previously Rivera had painted a controversial fresco in Detroit titled Detroit Industry, commissioned by Abby and John's friend, Edsel Ford, who later became a MoMA trustee.
Thus it came as no real surprise when his Man at the Crossroads became controversial, as it contained Moscow May Day scenes and a clear portrait of Lenin, not apparent in initial sketches. After Nelson issued a written warning to Rivera to replace the offending figure with an anonymous face, Rivera refused (after offering to counterbalance Lenin with a portrait of Lincoln), and so he was paid for his commission and the mural papered over at the instigation of Nelson, who was to become the Center's flamboyant president.
Nine months later, after all attempts to save the fresco were explored – including relocating it to Abby's Museum of Modern Art – it was destroyed as a last option.[30][31] (Rivera re-created the work later in Mexico City in modified form, from photographs taken by an assistant, Lucienne Bloch.)
Rivera's fresco in the Center was replaced with a larger mural by the Catalan artist Josep Maria Sert, titled American Progress, depicting a vast allegorical scene of men constructing modern America. Containing figures of Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, it wraps around the west wall of the Grand Lobby of the Comcast Building.[32]
Rockefeller plaque[edit]
In 1962, the center management placed a plaque at the plaza with a list of principles in which John D. Rockefeller, Jr. believed, and first expressed in 1941. It reads:[33]
I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.
I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master.
I believe in the Dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.
I believe that thrift is essential to well ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs.
I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.
I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond; that character not wealth or power or position – is of supreme worth.
I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.
I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individuals highest fulfilment, greatest happiness, and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His Will.
I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.

In November 2010, former architect and Lego fan Adam Reed Tucker designed a Lego replica of the center for the Lego Architecture series.

Excellent Choices
Jeff Genung
An impending visit of out-of-town family members kept me home cleaning instead of covering Common Council last night (hey, I've got priorities too!), but now I'm sorry I missed it. I was pleasantly surprised this morning when Mike McGuire told me the city leaders had appointed Police Chief Joe Angelino to temporarily fill in as fire chief in anticipation of the upcoming departure of John Tighe.
While I'm not sure how the police chief feels about pulling double duty, I think it's an excellent choice – and possibly a nod toward the future direction of that post. When Tighe announced his resignation, I know many in the fire department's ranks cheered. Personally, he and I always got along well, and I appreciated the access he gave to my reporters. That said, a move has been afoot more than once to eliminate the relatively new position entirely. Perhaps Angelino's stint as head of both departments will prove a harbinger of a more permanent consolidation – the creation of a Director of Public Safety for the city, if you will.
And on the Ward 5 front, kudos for picking Paul Laughlin to fill the vacancy left when Joe Maiurano took the mayor's spot. Mr. Laughlin's insightful commentary has always made his letters to the editor (that would be me) stand out among the pack. And he's the father of our own beloved "Front Desk" Rose over at the Pennysaver, so he's gotta be a good guy!

I'm heading to the Mapping Festival next week to run a short (non-jitter/max) workshop. Will anyone here be going, showing work, performing? want to meet up for a drink?
Hello M. Fitzgerald, Beeing an art student, I would have loved taking part to your workshop in geneva. Interested in light installation, I've read you were villareal's programmer. So because I'm curious,and because I'm working on a thesis I would be pleased to get information about the hardware and software setting for installation like villareal's or condé nast cafeteria's one . What sort of controller are used to create such installations? Is there a place where to find technical détails about those pieces of art on the net? If you have a couple of minute for a quick answer,I would be glad. A great thank.

Human hair flies - dog hair flies anyone
Hey, have any of you ever tried using human hair or maybe dog hair to make flies? I've got four hairy dogs that need haircuts rather often, so I was wondering if I should ask the barber for some of the hair back. :hihi: My doggies are white, black and various shades of brown... some of their hairs are soft and others a bit stiffer.
What about human hair? I can't get any from my very manly crown, but I can still get some from the sides. :chuckle: Let me know if you'd tried either of these and if there were any downsides or performance problems. And no, I'm not so cheap that I don't want to buy stuff from fly fishing shops. The problem is that there aren't any of them over here; This way would give me an immediate source of tying material. Any and all feedback welcomed... including funny stuff. Cheers, Dave From sunny Phuket, Thailand |

Black human hair is my favorite hair that I use on sunray shadow flies. It's fine, durable and flows freely.
I can not remember his name but I knew of a guy on the Cape that used Dog hair in his flies.... and I suppose why not?....He, like you, had several dogs and I see no reason why they would not work.... you would just need to determine what flies would work best with that material... what action and what you are looking for.... a streamer fly would obviously need a type of movement as oppose to the numph, etc... Things like that.
Human Hair and Pheromones
If you use human hair, best to get it from someone of the female persuasion. As Wilma Patterson and Peter Behan point out in their book _Salmon and Women_ [ISBN 0 85493 201 1], women exude an salmonid-attractive/neutral pheromone on their skins and (presumably) hair. Men, just the opposite. Male pheromones are repulsive to salmonids.
A friend of mind ties up a pattern he calls the "Wifey Special." The wing is created from some rather special Wifey hair. He hasn't found the pattern particularly effective, but he has all sorts of fun gathering the materials. Cheers, Eric |
Thanks to all for the useful input. I'll give it a try soon. I think that streamers would be the obvious first choice.
As I live in SE Asia, I think that there could be a difference in performance between my hair and, say, my wife's hair. Asian hairs are basically round (when cut, looking at the end), while caucasian hairs tend to be oval. Black folk's hair is flat. This seems to me to that it would offer different action. Hmm, I didn't know about the attractants in female hair Eric... does that apply to female dog hair as well? :smokin: Cheers, Dave |
The "Collie Dog" fly was prominent in Simon's fly box and on the end of his line at Malbaie in 2006.
Named for the source of its hair. |
I used to tie bonefish flies for my dentist that used hair from my Golden Retriever. He said they looked and worked great. Her under fur also dubed really well on nymps. Larry |
My old pal Hobbs the Alaskan Malamute (now deceased) was a great source of materials. His long black & white guard hair was just like bear. His undercoat made great dubbing.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
is getting ready to launch a new smartphone, Moto X, and its owner is ready to spend big money.
According to a Wall Street Journal article, Google is prepared to spend north of $500 million to market the product. But is it enough to create the necessary buzz to help the product cross the "tipping point," e.g., reach a critical mass of consumers -- as was the case with the iPhone, the iPad and other technology products?
Everett Rogers argues that the successful diffusion of new products is a lengthy process which follows five stages: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption.
In the beginning, product awareness is slow, as "innovators," a small consumer group, adopt the product. Soon, the adoption rate accelerates as a larger group, "early adopters" -- consumers connected with the innovators -- joins the market. At some point, the product diffusion may spread throughout the entire network, also reaching the "followers" -- the early and the late majority -- fueling a cascade, soaring sales that makes the new product a success.
This means that products which eventually cross the tipping point follow the S-shaped or sigmoid curve, as observed in the diffusion of new durable products, whereby demand begins with a small group of consumers who understand the merits of adoption, and subsequently spreads to larger and larger groups until it reaches cascade.
For Moto X to reach cascade, $500 million may be too little or too much. As I have written in previous pieces, the critical factor in creating buzz for any product isn't the size of the marketing budget, but three attributes that make the product "cool" -- helping it win the hearts and minds of consumers… especially the innovators and the early adopters who will carry the product message to a critical mass of consumers:
1. Value
Cool products fill a genuine consumer need. Apple's products, for instance, fill the need for mobile communications, computing, music, and distinction. Nike offers consumers top quality shoes, apparel, and accessories. Starbucks offers consumers a "third place" away from home, where they can enjoy a cup of coffee and socialize. Red Bull offers drinks that give consumers fast energy.
2. Innovativeness
Cool products seduce consumer fantasy and imagination by delivering better value than conventional products, and address emerging trends; they are simple and easy to use. Smartphone and tablets, for instance, are better than conventional mobile phones and laptops, addressing the emerging trend of mobile computing.
3. Appeal
Cool products must appeal to the right group, the early targets of the marketing campaign, the innovators and the early adopters.Innovators are the young and restless, consumers enchanted with the new and the exotic. Early adopters are consumers on the lookout for products that improve their personal and business lives—a larger group than the innovators, the bridge to reach to an even larger group, the early majority.
Does Moto X display these attributes?
It is hard to say, as consumers have not yet gotten the chance to experience the product. But according to the same Wall Street article, the product displays three characteristics that may set it apart from other smartphones -- a long battery life; an ability to adjust to different contexts of usage (the device can sense whether the user is driving and activate voice commands); and customization (customers can choose phone color and engravings). Brian Bennett of Cnet.com would like to see much more than that, including, a beautiful, fresh interface, camera, props, and great call quality.

Brian McDermott braces for fight at the bottom
Reading manager Brian McDermott believes this season's relegation battle could be the closest for years and is warning his side the outcome could be decided by goal difference.
Reading lie second from bottom but will move above Aston Villa, who sit one place and one point above them, if they beat Paul Lambert's side at the Madejski Stadium today.
That would be a timely boost after defeats by Wigan and Everton, but with things so tight at the foot of the table, McDermott is desperate to avoid a repeat of five years ago when Reading were relegated despite finishing level on points with fourth-bottom Fulham.
McDermott was Reading's chief scout then and he said: "I was there the day we went down and I know all about that. It could go down to goal difference.
"We went down by three goals in 2008 so we know it is important to stay in every game even if we are losing.
"It might well be that at the end of the season everyone is looking at this end of the league instead of the other as I think that will be done and dusted by then. It would be nice if we weren't part of that by the final day, but if we are then we are."
Lambert, the Villa manager, believes his charges must show a more ruthless side if they are to survive ahead of pivotal back-to-back games with their relegation rivals.
Villa head into the meeting at Reading on the back of yet another near miss against Manchester City on Monday.
The 1-0 defeat by the champions, which came after a calamitous mistake by Ciaran Clark, left Villa in the bottom three in 18th position.
Lambert, whose battling young side had dropped points at late stages in four of their previous seven league games before the City fixture, said: "The tempo of play, the movement and endeavour, and the energy and sheer will to win, have been very much in evidence for a number of weeks now."
Elsewhere around the bottom of the Premier League today, QPR take on Sunderland and Norwich City face Southampton, while mid-table West Brom and Swansea play each other.

Goals to next summer:
Start a cut tomorrow, and get my bodyfat down to 10 bf, then eat maintenace for 2 weeks, and slowly increase calories, and start a slow lean bulk to the next summer without going over 15 bodyfat with a gain at 0.5 pounds a week.
What weight should i bulk up to to look decent?
How many calories surplus should i have to clean bulk and gain around 0.5 pounds a week?
Is 0.5 pounds a week goal to keep my fat low?
What bodyfat should i never bulk over?
Any tips so i can keep my fat gains low? i find it very easy to gain weight and fat.
Does everything look okey?
Whats my bodyfat?:
Props on knowing your stuff at 16 years old. At your age and body size I would say you don't even need to cut unless your trying to get ripped and impress people. If you play high school sports then just bulk from now at a 500 calorie surplus and keep eating clean to minimize fat gain. good luck
I really just wanna cut to feel a little better about my self, also making it easier to control my clean bulk in the mirror, and i wont need to go over 17 bodyfat, would like to keep it at highest 15 bodyfat after the bulk, is 0.5 pounds a good weight to gain per week to minimize fat gain.
I'd forget about cutting, eat away while u can man just keep the sports and stuff going, or stay on the track ur on now but bump up the cals and take advantage
I think i cut for 1 month, then eat maintance for 2 weeks, then add 250 calories to slowly gain 0.5 pounds a week, im not a very active gut no more, no sports
And please give me some advices, look question -
Cut until your satisfied. It's your body and you control how it looks. Cut slow, you may still get much stronger. At your age fat will fly off.
Work on what's important to you my friend. There will always be some one further ahead, you need to be satisfied with YOUR progress!
Good work on your diets, on paper. You may do some fine tuning as needed. Also dont drop cals all at once 200-300 less every couple weeks will help avoid fat loss plateau - 07-28-2012, 08:37 PM
That all sounds fine. Everyone is different. Some will gain fat off 300 extra cals. Some won't gain a pound. The real trick is to figure out your own body then progress is easy as long as your consistent.
I will just keep eating mainteance, and do some cardio, dont care if i loose weight or not for 2 weeks more, then i slowly increase calories with 250, and see where its gets me, dont wanna end to much over 15 bodyfat. a bulk for 6 months at 0.5 pounds wouldent put me over 18 bodyfat or?.. if i do some hit cardio etc.
Anyone here have bulked with 15 bodyfat, and not ended up looking fat, i dont really care about sixpack yet, just wanna keep adding mass, but i dont want that huge gut, i think im just scared at the moment because im skinny fat now, my chest starts to grow, but my gut sticks out, but if i had more mass, would i be looking better at higher bodyfat?
Also i used to be fat.. so i just gotta break that mental thing.. - 08-01-2012, 11:06 AM
Add 200-300 calories every 2-3 weeks. Make sure to mainly focus on major compound lifts. I don't see you gaining much fat at all, this is a pretty lean bulk, similar to one I use. It's slow but progress over time is what it's all about.
Even at 200cals over maintenance if your lifting hard that may not be enough depending on the person. I personally like to ramp it up slow, adjusting for new mass every few weeks.
Don't forget resistance training has a natural nutrient repartitioning effect. Its not the same as a sedentary person eating at 200+cals over. Your willingness for knowledge and to do things right at a young age is impressive, keep it up you will succeed.

text: I just finish watching Gundam Unicorn and it is just awesome!!! It is amazing how much detail they put into recreating the UC universe. They brought back the old school designs the drawing styles and even the mecha. Everything fits so well into the existing Universal Century Gundam Universe. It is an amazing first episode that all Gundam fans must see!!!

Happy Monday Ladies & Gents! Happy Menswear Monday, that is.
Convinced the Husband to participate again this week. That's two weeks in a row! He's one sweet little gold nugget, that one… always indulging the wishes of his annoying-as-death wife. But let's be serious – is there a dreamier boy in all the land to showcase these Menswear Monday mansembles? I don't think so.
Now the pressing question is: GBO?
Jacket: H&M (similarish) | Sweater: H&M (also hot) | White Button-Up: Calvin Klein | Straight-leg Jeans: GAP (similar) (another hot pair) | Shoes: Stacy Adams Atwell Oxford (via DSW) (similar) | Houndstooth Tie: H&M (similar) (love this one) | Watch: Tag Heur (similar) (love this more affordable one too)
Aaaaaaaaaand sometimes THAT happens.
Turns out husband and I both have the 'look like a big freaking idiot in pictures' disease. What is he doing, you ask? There would be no way of knowing.

David Benioff and Dan Weiss haven't been heard from on Westeros very often since the pilot was filmed (I guess they are busy or something), but they did have a few minutes recently to answer a message from WiC reader Lord Ned's Head. He had sent them a suggestion on a song they could use over the opening credits (Raven Black Night by Gov't Mule, for those who are curious) and David & Dan replied thusly:
Thank you, ser. Beautiful song. Odds are strong that we'll have a composer create a new theme for the GoT titles, but either way this is a good listen and a new add to our playlist.
Winter Is Coming: I'm sure some may have already been expecting an original score, but if any of you were in doubt, it sounds like Game of Thrones will be getting it's very own theme song.

Last updated: 05/21/2013 07:43:45 PM
It would be a gross understatement to call Eddy Arnold a giant of American Music. Deity might be a more appropriate word for a man who scored 58 consecutive top ten country hits between his debut in 1945 and 1954, who never scored less than a top forty hit during the first 21 years of his career, charted over 140 records and sold a staggering total of over 85 million records including timeless classics like "Bouquet of Roses" and "Anytime." Not bad for a fellow dubbed "The Tennessee Plowboy" because he was a former Tennessee plow boy.
Eddy (b. May 15, 1918, Henderson, Tn.) was born the son of a share cropper and raised in rural Tennessee. His father was a country fiddler who encouraged his son's musical talents and scraped together enough money to get his boy a guitar at age 10. His earliest public performances were in grade school. By the time he entered high school he'd become a local star. With the Great Depression in full swing, Eddy had to leave school to help out on the farm and work as a mortuary assistant. His performing was relegated to occasional local functions he'd travel to riding a mule with his guitar strung on his back.
Like other country artists of the time Eddy's ticket to stardom was the key to stardom.many country performers performing live on radio became the ticket to stardom. He debuted on a Jackson, Tennessee station in 1936 becoming regional star there, and later in St. Louis, Missouri. From 1940 to '43 he appeared on the Grand Ole Opry with Pee Wee King. Billed as The Tennessee Plowboy and his Guitar he signed with RCA Victor Records in 1944 and that was the name that appeared on his records until 1954.
Arnold's first chart record "Each Minute Seems A Million Years" hit number five to begin that string of 58 consecutive top ten hits. In 1947 Arnold scored his first three number one hits, "What Is Life Without Love," "It's a Sin" and "I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms)" with the latter staying at number one for 21 weeks. The following year Eddy hit the top with two of his signature songs, "Anytime and "Bouquet of Roses" At this point he had become the first true country to pop crossover artist.
Reaching a wider audience was something Arnold planned when he moved beyond simple country instrumentation. He said, "I had recorded with a little group of musicians for so long that there wasn't anything else for me to do from an instrumental standpoint. I had to be re-born. My songs were good lyrically and melodically, I just needed to change the background a little. I went in and did some thing with violins and Boom!"
Eddy Arnold moved into a class by himself so universally popular he became a perennial star, charting records over a span of five decades, scoring number one hits into the late '60s and top tens into the '80s. After a seven year hiatus he even returned to the studio in 1990. Along the way he added other classics like "Cattle Call," "Make The Word Go Away" and "What's He Doing In My World."
In addition to setting the standard for achievement and longevity for other artists to attempt to follow, Arnold became an example of how to manage a show business fortune. "I saved the first dollar I ever made and I've been saving and investing my money ever since," he recalled, "I never forgot how it felt to be poor," he added. He became one of the richest men in show business by investing in the only thing he felt was worth owning, "land."
Because of his huge musical contributionsand universal popularity, Eddy Arnold became true a ambassador of country music.

I like The Way I Am, that Sitar loop in Pistol, Pistol is another example of an uncommonly used instrument in hip hop creating a surefire banger; American Psycho, That's How....; co produced by Denaun Porter, I liked it that Purple Pills incorporated a harmonica in the beat; that is something you usually do not hear in hip hop; it makes it like the didgeridoo loop in Heavy Mental; Devil's Night, Girls, Soldier, I never particularly cared for Superman until I heard it in a bar on some good speakers and not the crappy ones I have at home and I heard all kinds of subtle bass and instruments I could not hear on my weak ass home speakers; When the Music Stops; co produced by Denaun Porter, Love Me; this is definitely one of my top three Eminem produced beats and showed his true skill to me as a producer; Don't Push Me I would also include in my top three; Go to Sleep would round out my top three; hearing D.M.X. and Eminem on a track together is just priceless; this is something you need a good system to really appreciate; We All Die One Day is a monster; everybody came off on this; Thankfully they just let Tony Yayo do background vocals and not ruin the track; Welcome to D Block is another surefire banger; Loyalty hits hard; 6 in the Morning is thugged out; Get My Gun is another joint everybody comes off on; I'm Supposed to Die Tonight is ridiculously hard; Jamaican Girl is a joint for women to shake their ass to; Kill Me A Mutha embodies everything I like about most Eminem beats; dark and simple but effective; You Don't Know knocks things off of my walls and shelves everytime I play it at full volume; it was a wise move to stick Tony Yayo in the background again for this one because all he does is ruin everything he gets on; Trapped makes you wish it was a full song; the joints he did for Ca$his' e.p. were nice also; Psycho is a nice little joint 50 Cent gets hype on and his joints on Hell
he Sequel brought the beast out of them; I admit thinking that their chemistry had diluted since their time apart but this mini project proved me wrong; with that being said; I am looking forward to more fire beats from Eminem in the coming years.

The mechanism by which the brain recognizes faces has long fascinated neurobiologists, many of whom believe that the brain perceives faces as "special" and very different from other visual objects. For example, classic studies found that turning the image of a face upside down compromises recognition much more than does similarly inverting other objects.
More recent studies have suggested that there may even be particular neurons tuned to the identity of one particular person. These neurons, according to that theory, lie in the "fusiform face area," FFA, known to be particularly active when a person encounters a face.
However, in the April 6, 2006 issue of Neuron, Maximilian Riesenhuber of Georgetown University Medical Center and his colleagues (Jiang et al.) report evidence for a theory that the FFA, instead, contains tightly integrated circuitry that recognizes faces based on selective processing of shapes of facial features.
In their studies, the researchers first constructed a computational model that represented how their hypothesized neuronal circuitry would work. This model aimed at predicting how the circuitry could give rise to the perception of faces. Such perception includes the shape of specific features--eyes, noses, and mouths--as well as the "configuration" of those features--their position on the face.
The researchers found that their model captured such aspects of face perception, even though the circuitry in their model had not explicitly coded them. To demonstrate that their model could also account for how other neuronal circuitry could be similarly tuned to other objects, they also tested how it might behave when it encountered images of cars. They found that model worked just as well to produce the same recognition characteristics as in faces.
Riesenhuber and his colleagues tested their "shape-based" model experimentally by exposing volunteers to images of faces that could be precisely "morphed" with a computer program to subtly alter the facial features. And at the same time, the subjects' brains were scanned by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to detect patterns of activity in the FFA. The technique of fMRI involves using harmless magnetic fields and radio waves to measure blood flow in brain regions, which reflects their activity. The researchers found that the results from the fMRI studies agreed with those of the computational model.
The researchers concluded that "we have shown that a computational implementation of a physiologically plausible neural model of face processing can quantitatively account for key data, leading to the prediction that human face discrimination is based on a sparse population code of sharply tuned face neurons.
"In particular, we have shown that a shape-based model can account for the face inversion effect, can produce 'configural' effects without explicit configural coding, and can quantitatively account for the experimental data. The model thus constitutes a computational counterexample to theories that posit that human face discrimination necessarily relies on face-specific processes."
In a preview of the paper in the same issue of Neuron, Tzvi Ganel wrote that Riesenhuber and colleagues "provide a compelling array of evidence supporting the idea that the processing of faces and objects do not rely on qualitatively different mechanisms. In a series of experiments, Jiang et al. present and integrate findings from neural modeling, behavior, and fMRI, showing that face classification, similarly to object classification, can be achieved by a simple-to-complex architecture based on hierarchical shape detectors.
"Jiang et al.'s modeling and behavioral findings have strong implications for understanding how faces and objects are processed in the human brain," wrote Ganel.
The researchers include Xiong Jiang, Ezra Rosen, Maximilian Riesenhuber, Thomas Zeffiro, and John VanMeter of Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C.; Volker Blanz of Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik in Saarbrücken, Germany. This research was supported in part by NIMH grants 1P20MH66239-01A1, 1R01MH076281-01, and an NSF CAREER Award (#0449743).

Weird Al Videos for the king of parody songs, Weird Al!
Author Comments
This is a video clip for the Weird Al song 'Truck Drivin' Song' from the album "Running With Scissors".
I made it in about a three week period (on and off). It is my first attempt at a songclip so I thought that I would choose a song which I knew and that would be easy to animate. I finally decided on this one because I thought that it would be funny to make a flash for a Weird Al Song escially seeing it is about a transvestite truck driver.
Please view/vote/review and enjoy this clip.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I think the animation is actally pretty good, and it fits in with the song very well, top job for your fist flash vid!
Also, transvestitism is not the the same as being gay. Yes a lot of gay people are also transvestites but so are straight people.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great job wierd al!
What can i expect? Al always has the best and whats better than a g*y truck driver?!?!
Rated 5 / 5 stars

Worm: Sasquatch in our midst?
Seen a sasquatch lately? A north Wenatchee resident called KPQ Jan. 9 to say he saw the mysterious hairy creature of lore near Stella and Walnut streets.
Paul Graves, a local artist and tracker who has studied sasquatch sightings for 25 years went to the site and made plaster casts of footprints he described as looking similar to those of a bear, but with wide spread toes.

For most of my 29 years, lacrosse has been regarded as a fringe sport played by East Coast prep schoolers and Native Americans. Recently, lacrosse has really boomed and is one of the fastest growing sports in all age brackets and across both genders but at times, there is still a lack of mainstream coverage and interest in the sport. When a lacrosse highlight makes it onto Sportscenter's Top 10, laxers everywhere rejoice. When there is a game on TV we often find ourselves so surprised that we don't know how to react. When there is an article in Businessweek about Maverik founder, John Gagliardi, we all say to ourselves, "I know who that guy is because I play lax"… like it's some kind of exclusive club.
The question remains however, can lacrosse make the crossover to where your average American knows the sport and appreciates all of the benefits it provides? My answer is that, in some ways, it already has. Sure it gets a little coverage from time to time and over the next year or two at least a couple of new movies featuring lacrosse prominently will be released but that isn't what I'm getting at.
What I am focusing on is one brand name that started out as puirely a lax brand and has since evolved into one of the most recognized names in sports apparel: Under Armour. When I walk down Broadway in Soho (that's in NYC for those of you who don't know) on warmer days I am surrounded by tourists and an unbelievable amount of them are wearing Under Armour shirts, shorts, shoes, hats and backpacks. They are not lax dudes and they don't look like your typical lax parents. They are not wearing any lax t-shirts or shorts and are often rocking NASCAR hats. They look like tourists from Houston, Cleveland, Reno or Louisville. Basically they just look like average Americans. I used to ask people who were wearing Under Armour if they played lacrosse (and yes, I like lax enough to awkwardly ask people if they also like lax) and more often than not they looked at me like I had 2 heads and was named Zaphod. So how did Under Armour crossover without lacrosse and what can we learn from their success?
Under Armour started out with a great product, branched out to football, did some snazzy adds, went into footwear and added some more casual clothes. All of this seems to have been done with one thing in mind: creating a culture that the brand represents. Under Armour isn't just about lacrosse, it isn't even just about sports at this point but it is about performance, comfort and a stylish, sleek look. People who have never played lacrosse and maybe never played ANY sports wear Under Armour because of the culture of cool (both literal and figurative) it has created. If you want to see the kind of money flowing though UA, then look here for a quick overview.
Lacrosse can do the same thing in order to make gains in popularity. Lacrosse is already an exciting, great product. Lax is branching out to other sports demographics and areas like Denver and Chicago. The add content is, for the most part, lacking in quality or originality but I feel like that will come along as the markets expand beyond New England, New York and the mid-Atlantic states. Companies like Maverik make a full compliment of hats, sweatshirts and t-shirts that allow you to rock the lax lifestyle 24-7/365. The next step will be lacrosse inspired jeans, jackets and more sneakers. Nike has already released Hopkins and 'Cuse inspired causal shoes called the Air Lax 1. When you combine all of that with how lacrosse was portrayed in American Pie and the new 90210 and how many movies with lacrosse in them are scheduled to be released in the next few years, the word is spreading and in this writer's opinion it is only a matter of time before it is officially the hottest thing America. Once lacrosse actually gets to that point, it will be up to all of us to keep it true to the form that got it there in the first place… but that is a topic and challenge for another day.

text: The majority of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) live in low and middle-income countries and have little access to effective interventions or services. Most research in interventions for ASD has been conducted in richer countries with relatively large numbers of ASD specialist therapists. One of the best-researched interventions, in which parents are trained to help their children communicate, has been found to work very well in the UK (the PACT intervention). The aim of this project is to adapt this intervention carefully so that it can be used by parents of children in low-income countries. Because there are very few specialists in these settings, the project will explore the impact of the delivery of the intervention by trained and supervised non-specialists. The project will be conducted in Goa, India and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. These two countries are home to the largest number of children in the world, and have very large unmet needs for care for autism. Partners in each site have an established world-class record of research to improve access to care for mental and developmental disorders and will be supported by experts in a high-income setting (the UK). The project will have three Phases. In the first phase, the investigators will talk to parents of children with ASD about their experiences, to people who may have tried to help these parents and their children, and to local experts who are involved in developing services for children. Using this information, UK team will work with local experts to make necessary changes to the intervention so that it can work in these South Asian settings. In the second phase the investigators will test the intervention to find out if it works, by delivering it to 30 children with ASD and comparing them to 30 children who will not receive the intervention. The children, who will be recruited from Goa and Rawalpindi, will be divided into treatment and control groups in such a way each child has an equal chance of being in either group. The study aims to evaluate the effects after 6 months by carrying out a number of tests for parent-child interaction and the child's social functioning. In the third phase, data analysis will be performed with the aim of disseminating the results. This project is important because it aims to develop an intervention that has the potential to be used in settings where there are few specialist autism service providers, a challenge faced by most of the developing world.

Following the publication of Andrew Friedman's feature article about my arrest for selling medical marijuana ["Sacrificial Lamb," March 6], my congregation, my family, and I were deluged by well-wishers. People who learned for the first time of my plight, as well as individuals who were personally helped by my work in the past, called, visited, and sent letters of support.
I greatly appreciate the words of encouragement and want to publicly thank everyone who has been sympathetic to my case. Those who wish to contribute more substantially may send a donation to the "Ezra L." Legal Defense Fund at 1571 45th Street, Brooklyn, New York, 11219.
May the Almighty, who "heals the sick" and "frees the chained," bless us all with love, kindness, and mercy.

Even if I agree that marijuana actually has medical applications, I still have questions regarding the behavior of Rabbi Yitzchak Fried. For openers, where does the rabbi get his weed? Also, what qualifications does he have to screen his clients and assure the community that he is not supplying drugs to young users? More important, why sell marijuana at all if his objective is to "relieve" the pain and suffering of heroin addicts? Finally, given that certain governments have legalized a lesser-strength marijuana for addicts and medical patientsa kind of marijuana light, if you willwhy was the rabbi selling regular-strength shit?

Having read Andrew Friedman's story on the arrest of Rabbi Yitzchak Fried, I am shocked that this poor man of G*d was victimized by the drug war. I am glad that I left New York City many years ago. I now live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the voters have legalized medical pot and pot laws are seldom enforced. It is time to stand up against government oppressionthere is no "drug war," just a war on the American people. Free Rabbi Fried! Legalize medical pot now!

I applaud Ward Harkavy for the article about the fellow in Arkansas castrated by Clinton cronies ["The Castration of Wayne DuMond," March 13]. I have been sick at heart for the last eight years, not so much over President Clinton as over the failure of the mainstream media to report events such as this. As Harkavy points out, DuMond was not only systematically refused justice, he also had his genitals mutilated and his home burned down.
I have one question, however: Will we only learn about Senator Hillary Clinton's true ideology and behavior after she leaves public office, or will courageous publications like the Voice start to tell us the truth now, before it's too late?

It was troubling to learn that Peter Noel ["If I Must Die," February 27] was collaborating on a book with Khallid Abdul Muhammad, a man who not only called Jews "bloodsuckers" (as Noel notes), but who also defended Hitler and the Holocaust in a 1993 speech given at Kean College in New Jersey. Noel is only one among a number of progressive blacks who have been all too eager to praise Muhammad both before and after his death and discount the fact that he willingly defended and rationalized genocide. Do progressive blacks think they ought to overlook this aspect of Muhammad's persona because he was a "brother"?
In contrast to the moral myopia of many progressive blacks (and whites), Minister Louis Farrakhan's decisive public rebuke of Muhammad was an exemplary act of leadership. Is there any doubt that if the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were alive both would have decried Muhammad as a reactionary whose attitude toward other minorities was an insult to our common humanity, and a potentially corrupting influence on the spiritual identity and dignity of African American people?
Seth Farber
Re Peter Noel's "If I Must Die": It is my belief that Khallid Muhammad was assassinated from within his organization by government agents. Given the type of man that Muhammad was, the threat that he posed to the government, and the circumstances surrounding his death, I find it very ironic that his organization conducted no public investigation of possible political foul play. To further support my theory, note that when activist-attorney Alton Maddox and researcher Steve Cokley appeared on Al Sharpton's Sharp Talk radio program and suggested the possibility that Muhammad died from unnatural causes, Muhammad's organization uninvited them from the funeral.

Richard Goldstein's insightful piece "Diagnosis: Artist" [February 27] seemed to miss one salient point about the portrayal of artists in movies: People like Reinaldo Arenas and Jackson Pollock make excellent film fodder precisely because they are larger-than-life characters. If they had only gone through the usual years of dues-paying leading up to eventual success, who would bother to script a movie about their lives?
Their excesses make their stories worth telling and, as Goldstein points out, seem to be justified by their art. The art and entertainment industry is sadly littered with failures and loons, but the ones who manage to make a mark with their work and make the tabloids are going to be the ones who are canonized on celluloid. As such, a script about Mark Rothko isn't going to be as sought after as a script about Salvador Dalí. The unfortunate consequence may be that the general moviegoing public is going to have greater regard for these extravagant artists over ones who are "boring."
Jason Gross
Chisun Lee's article on City Councilwoman Margarita Lopez ["Margarita Says She Knows Best," February 27] ends with Lopez saying, "I didn't come to this job to be a coward." I think this sums up her political life, whether the issue is term limits, housing, fighting for Charas/El Bohio, or taking on exploitative greengrocers.
My union has been involved with community groups in the Lower East Side who have worked to rid the neighborhood of sweatshop-like conditions in the greengrocery industry. Lopez has been instrumental in the formation of union contracts that have helped workers in these stores receive better wages, benefits, and working conditions. These workers are recent immigrants and are among the most underpaid and exploited in the city.
If Lopez has taken a stance against term limits, I am sure that she has come to this position after reflection on how best to help people in her community, not because she has landed a well-paying job. Having her as a member of the City Council has helped make this body one that responds to the needs of the people in the Lower East Side.

Editor's Note: Ernesto Jofré passed away on March 5. He had been battling cancer for several months.
As a journalist at the Columbia Daily Spectator, I can't let Nat Hentoff's irrational criticism of Columbia University's journalism school ["Gag Order on Future Reporters," February 27] go uncontested. An e-mail sent to students did indeed tell them that Al Gore's lectures here would be "off the record." On this basis, Hentoff claims students were "unequivocally instructed that they were under a gag rule."
As Hentoff should know, requesting that a speaker's private remarks not be quoted as if made to the public is widely considered the prerogative of any potential journalistic source. This voluntary point, common in journalistic ethics, shares nothing with the draconian "gag rule" image that Hentoff conjures up. Hentoff mentions that Associate Dean David Klatell said the notion that the e-mail established a gag order was "mistaken," but then Hentoff dismisses this as spin and repeats the mistake.
I love seeing Hentoff's ire turned toward censorship and free speech issues, but I hate to see him substituting his own chutzpah for issues of actual substance, especially when the Spectator, in its own reporting on the issue, got it right the first time.
Ben Wheeler
Columbia Daily Spectator
Nat Hentoff replies: If this policy was not instituted only for Gore, why did Dean Tom Goldstein tell the February 9 Wall Street Journal, after objections from students and the press, "We had no intention of preventing students from talking to the press afterward." And, if this is standard journalism ethics, then why did the other journalism schools at which Gore is lecturing refuse to make his comments off the record?
While I certainly enjoyed reading Deborah Jowitt's flattering review for the bopi's black sheep performance at Danspace ["Hit the Deck," February 27], I'm sure that someone out there was less than thrilled by it. Deborah Abramson, one of the "excellent dancers" that Jowitt refers to, must have been quite chagrined to see that her performance was attributed to "Deborah Abrahamson." She, like many other performers, put in months of hard work to prepare for the performances. A simple check of the program could have confirmed the correct spelling of her name.
April Salazar
Elizabeth Zimmer replies: Deborah Jowitt did check the program, but misread Abramson's name; other recent errors on the dance page include Jowitt's misstatement of the name of Twyla Tharp's new Mozart Clarinet Quintet K. 581, and the dimensions of Tharp's new studio100 by 65 feet ("Flying Blind Into Brooklyn," February 20), and my failure to register, in my Footnote about Robert Tracy's book on Isamu Noguchi (March 6), the fact that the sculptor died in 1988.
Michael Feingold is extremely well-informed on many subjects, so I was gob-smacked by his blithe assertion ["Over 30," February 27] that "nobody knows why" the number 30 is journalese for "the end." When I worked for the Fleet Street newspapers back in the 1970s, it seemed that everyone knew the reason for this piece of typographic shorthand.
In the days of hand-set type and manual typewriters and Teletypes, a reporter would type "XXX" at the end of each news piece to mark its finish. However, because there was no correction fluid, the fastest way to delete a typo was to type "XXX" over it. This caused confusion, so to make the "end" message absolutely clear, reporters and rewrite staffers stopped using "XXX" and used its Arabic-numeral equivalent instead. To avoid further confusion, the custom began of bracketing the number. The sequence of characters "-30 -" is recognized to mean "end of story" and cannot be mistaken for anything else, since this sequence has no other meaning.

Ben Osborne did wonderful work in kicking the New Jersey Nets when they're down in his article "Net-Zero at the Half" [February 27]! Why didn't he mention the George Steinbrenner dig that five reporters could beat the Nets?
Fact is, their All-Star center Jayson Williams has retired, starting guard Kerry Kittles hasn't played a game, leading rebounder Jamie Feick has missed over half the season, and star forward Keith Van Horn hasn't been healthy. Kenyon Martin, Kendall Gill, and Lucious Harris have also been injured.
Why not take Marcus Camby, Kurt Thomas, Latrell Sprewell, Allan Houston, and Glenn Rice away from the Knicks and see how well that team performs?

In an item discussing the purchase of the Phoenix Coyotes by Wayne Gretzky's ownership group [Jockbeat, February 27], the Voice wrote: "And no, they weren't really serving fried cactus. That's an old gringo joke, which is just one more thing you probably never expected to get from the NHL." FYI, nopalitos are fried cactus, served as a side dish or in tacos. While they may not be available at Chi-Chi's or Arizona 206, you can find them in the more authentic taco joints throughout the Southwest.

I have a document that I made up for an Airbrush class I did a while back, email me and I will email it to you.
Im also working on an airbrush make up DVD for haunted houses that will be done by transworld. Im in reshoots and editing right now.

I just sent him the article, lol.
I would LOVE a copy of the airbrushing document if possible. I just bought my first airbrush for myself as an early Christmas present and the main purpose I had for it was makeup. So far, I've just played a bit with it on touching up tombstones to get the hang of it. Thanks!!!
That has the most info Ive seen on any website Ive looked at
thank you so much for sending it to me, and Allen Is there anything you Cant do.
your becoming my new hero.
Thanks so much guys yall are why I love the haunt biz.
::: Raises a sheepish hand::::
Allen cooudl you send the file to me as well ??? Please
thank you .. :)
all who have asked have been sent! There is definitely a knowledge gap in airbrushing, Im not great at it to be honest,Im decent I know guys who blow me away. But I have taken the leap and beaten down the learning curve and the fear of the equipment and I want to drag people with me because airbrush make up has advantages over conventional make up.
Its easier than it seems, most folks get an airbrush and use it till it clogs and then set it down for about a year, then pick it back up. There is a knowledge barrier that is tough but worth climbing over!

The Graftobian airbrush kits seemed to be a big hit at the show last year. I thing the whole kit sold for around 400 bucks. Nice set, but you got to know what your doing to benefit from all the advantages it allows.
Can I get that document also please? While we are on the airbrush subject, does anyone recommend a certain brand or model of airbrush machine? Thanks.
I think everything has a curve But its alway worth the headace to like allen said to just be ok at it Not even great but just ok. And I cant wait to get an airbrush and start working on it.
Thanks yall.
