Kiss Statue Leads To Resignations, Disappointment
Thursday, March 15, 2012
Aired 3/16/12 on KPBS News.
The 25-foot sculpture of a sailor kissing a nurse may be popular with tourists on San Diego's waterfront, but not with members of the Port's public art committee. Today two of its members resigned in frustration.
The 25-foot sculpture of a sailor kissing a nurse may be popular with tourists on San Diego's waterfront, but not with members of the Port's public art committee. Today two of its members resigned in frustration.
Michael Krichman and Hector Perez, both leaders in the local art community, resigned from their posts on the Port's 12-member committee.
They said their input was not valued or respected by the Port's Board of Commissioners.
In a meeting that took place at the Port's administration building, committee members expressed their disappointment and a sense of defeat. Another threatened to resign later in the week.
The events leading up to this began last November when the public art committee voted 6 to 4 not to accept a proposed permanent version of the "Unconditional Surrender" statue. The committee consulted a newly developed Master Plan that outlines criteria for accepting donations and artwork to the Port's collection. After careful consideration, committee members decided the permanent kiss statue did not meet the criteria.
Fast forward to March 6, when the committee presented their findings to the Port's Board of Commissioners in a meeting that proved to be the linchpin in this drama. Commissioners said the statue is "popular" and "magical" and voted to accept the permanent version, which will be an exact replica of the J. Seward Johnson sculpture, but made out of bronze.
The tone and atmosphere at that March 6 meeting angered some committee members more than the commissioners' actual vote. Some committee members felt the commissioners were "condescending." David White, a local artist, said the commissioners talked to committee members "like children" and characterized their findings as "creative decisions" rather than rational arguments.
Perez, who is an artist and professor at NewSchool of Architecture and Design, said it was discouraging to have his education at M.I.T. "disrespected" after putting himself through school. Perez said, as a son of illegal immigrants, he's offended by the notion that their vote against the statue was elitist.
"That's not my background. That's not who I am," Perez told the group.
Terry Hall, general manager of Seaport Village, chairs the committee and is one of the longest-serving members. She encouraged the group to persevere. She said the statue is politically charged and therefore an anomaly, saying the future of the public art program is more exciting than ever.
Krichman countered, "at the end of the day, art that is going to have an impact is going to be political or conjure a political dimension." He added, the future will bring another "Unconditional Surrender" and another "Wings," referring to the proposed Wings of Freedom sculpture.
Susan Ronan has served on the public art committee for four years. She talked of her former profession as an interior designer and how difficult it was to work with clients who "didn't have taste." Ronan says the experience helped her realize not every project would be a success, but to appreciate those that were. She advised the group not to make hasty decisions.
"We should be the turtle, slow and sure," she said.
Larry Baza, owner of Noel-Baza Fine Art, seemed to agree, saying maybe "inch by inch" things will change.
The Port staff apologized for any "feelings of disrespect" felt by committee members. Yvonne Wise, director of public art for the Port, said in the future, she needs to "make sure the Board knows this committee has done its job."
In a phone interview prior to the meeting, Krichman said the whole experience gave him little hope for the future of the Port's public art program.
"My recommendation is that we surrender unconditionally. And stop wasting the public's money and the public land for a public art program generated by the Port that's not worth doing the way it's going to be done."
This afternoon, the Port issued the following statement regarding the resignations:
It's regretful that some members of the Public Art Committee were unhappy with the Board of Port Commissioners' action in regards to the donation of the Unconditional Surrender sculpture. The Board has the utmost respect for the input of all of its advisory committees, however, decisions are exclusively the purview of the Board of Port Commissioners. The Board looks forward to working with the Public Art Committee to create a great tidelands public art collection.
The champions of the proposed permanent version of "Unconditional Surrender" have to raise close to $1 million by the end of the year.

Where else but at the SDUPD can you find boosters and supporters of a multi-millionaire hobbyist suggesting educated, working class advisors as elitist while dismissing their own experts as making "creative decisions"? The Port Commissioners have rejected art that they did not like (nor understand) by reputable artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, Nancy Rubins, Vito Acconci, and many other artists while entertaining cheap copies and appropriated designs by non-artists, architects and developers. Who is elitist?
At the heart of this is a 20-year legacy of unelected (and thus unaccountable to the public) patronage appointees making decisions about public art while listening to neither art experts nor the public. If this unattributed copy of Alfred Eisenstaedt's V–J Day in Times Square is built - it is certain to be every bit as popular as the "Cardiff Kook" for many of the same reasons…

Michael Krichman and Hector Perez, I have one thing o say to oth of you:
**Thank you!!**
Thank you for dedicating yourselves to bringing the arts to this own.
Thank you for taking a firm decision on this piece.
Thank you for telling the idiots on the port commission to, as in the famous words of a country western song, *Take this job and shove it!**
The more this story unravels, the more I'm afraid we are in for a drawn out battle similar to "children's" pool in La Jolla and the Mt. Soledad cross.
My hope is that someone will commission a fabulous installation that is a non-knock off to replace this cartoonish trash and stir excitement amongst people who don't want our waterfront looking like a childish playground for tourists to come and laugh at.
I have no ties to this other than being a resident of downtown, but I am mad as hell at the port commission right now.
If these pompous morons think this campy monstrosity is so 'magical', why don't they do 6 month rotations displaying it in their own yards.
I will do whatever I can do as a private citizen to make sure this thing is removed.
If anyone has any suggestions or if any groups opposed to this statue have formed, please let me know, I will help.
Peking_Duck_SD | March 16, 2012 at 11:47 a.m. ― 5 years ago
San Diego County is the Alabama of California.
When real art like the Surfing Madonna is created, officials force it to be removed, but when a knock-off cartoon figure that other cities have rejected reaches the end of its loan, rabid dots at the port commission want to make it permanent.
Absolutely foul.

The article unfortunately fails to mention that two Port Commissioners, Scott Peters and Bob Nelson, voted against permanent placement of The Kiss statue. There stated reason is that the Port asked these volunteers for their expertise and thus, the Commission should honor it.

Public art invites disagreement. Expect it.
I rather like the Kiss. It's far more memorable and enjoyable than another pseudo Hellenic statue.
barbara777 | March 17, 2012 at 1:24 p.m. ― 5 years ago
I too love the Kiss - it is from a very famous photo taken years ago. So grateful that we may be able to keep it.
DonWood | March 17, 2012 at 1:27 p.m. ― 5 years ago
This copy of the "unconditional surrender" statue is not unique to San Diego. There are at least four copies of this plastic and polyurethene statue currently loaned out to various cities around the US. This debate is about whether or not San Diego should continue borrowing one of those copies. Having it here doesn't make San Diego unique.

The woman in the famous photo, when identified years later, said she felt she'd been "assaulted" by the sailor. She probably meant "battery" had been committed on her. In California, and virtually every state, battery is a crime. The California Penal Code section 242. Section 242 defines a Battery as any willful and unlawful use of force on the person of another. Put simply, a battery results when a person causes physical impact on another that is unsolicited and unwarranted. Being grabbed, forced against the body of another, and kissed is battery. A statue of a woman being held and kissed against her will glorifies atacks on women. That one of the program's guests attempts to excuse it by saying it "happened many places" doesn't make it permissible, and is yet another example of identifying women as sexual objects to be used as men wish. The "All the kids do it" excuse is childish. If you're male, ask a woman how she'd feel if grabbed by a total stranger, bent back, and having his spit put in her mouth.

LEN, are you sure about that? She sure has a huge SMILE on her face for posterity!
I don't know, kinda like Linda Lovelace saying in retrospect that she was coerced! Oscar noms for Lovelance and Damiano? lol

Agree with DUCK BUT remember, the Port Authority and the Encinitas city council are two different animals.

Missionaccomplished, do you only smile when you're having fun? I smile when I'm embarrassed, uncomfortable, or not really sure what to do. I smiled on Saturday night as I pushed away an ugly woman who tried to "Irish kiss" me while I was out downtown. I pushed her away, but weren't women back then raised to obey to men? How can you judge what she was feeling at the time? I'm sure you totally understand the less than a minute of reactions that she experienced better than she did. Good for you buddy.
As for the statue, it's not cool, I'd use the G-word, but this is npr. When I jog by it, I feel nothing but harassed by the aggressive homeless guys that hang out there to hit up tourists.

Wow, the ignorance and absurdity of public officials in this backwards cowtown is staggering.
I saw an interview on KPBS this evening with two people who are trying to get the public to donate a million bucks for a permanent replica of this thing, and the reason one of them gave keeping this is because it represents a "time of peace".
Ummmm, it represents the U.S. dropping the first atomic bombs and an ushering-in of an era of nuclear proliferation and a long cold war that will bring the U.S. and Russia at the bank of global annihilation!
Where does San Diego find these dopes?
Peking_Duck_SD | March 24, 2012 at 12:26 a.m. ― 5 years ago
Matt McCloughlin, President of the USS Midway Museum, was the person who made the ridiculous comments about this ugly cartoonish monstrosity being a symbol of peace.
This guy also had the nerve to declare a majority of San Diegans want this, even though no poll has been done, and no data exists.
Most people I know think it's an embarrassing piece of refuse and can't wait for it to leave, so I really wish some two bit ship museum manager would kindly refrain from making inferences about what we think.
Len | March 24, 2012 at 11:09 a.m. ― 5 years ago
@MissionAccomplished. I don't know if the woman is smiling in the tasteless statute, but in the original photo her face is obscured by the sailor's head. (Google images.)
aisle3 | March 24, 2012 at 11:16 a.m. ― 5 years ago
Having watched the embarrassingly timid piece with nothing but "Kiss" salesman I have to ask the question KPBS was afraid to ask.
Everyone knows and has said repeatedly that "Unconditional Surrender" is based on Alfred Eisenstadts August 14, 1945 photograph "VJ Day inTimes Square". This image is owned and protected by Getty Images. It is impossible to not ask how the promoters of this "thing" avoid dealing with the blatant intellectual property theft that "kiss" represents. American businesses and artists lose billions every year to this type of thievery.
I only hope Getty Images waits until they have raised the money and installed it and then sue to have the thing torn down and stored for a few years while the suit winds it way to the eventual end and we have a pile of bronze for scrap.
I'd rather have a giant ball of twine. At least it's honest
Peking_Duck_SD | March 24, 2012 at 3:57 p.m. ― 5 years ago
Aisle3, well written! I agree with everything you wrote, and in the laundry list of reasons to get rid of this statue I never even thought about the legal implications of intellectual property theft. It is, nonetheless, an important consideration.
The funny thing is that I am told the one we have now is not even an original. Apparently there were several of these knock-off garbage statues created and displayed acrsoss the nation, and San Diego is the only city tasteless enough to want to keep one.
So now they are talking about making a knock-off of one of the knock-offs.
This is not a tribute to the military, it's an insult.
aisle3 | March 24, 2012 at 5:53 p.m. ― 5 years ago
Thanks Peking Duck Sd
Google J. Seward Johnson / Sarrasota or Unconditional Surrender/sarrasota and see where he had to indemnify the city of Sarrasota against a lawsuitsuit by the copyright owners . Let alone the legal ramifications and the possibility of a lawsuit it is blatantly unethical and immoral to champion stolen property no matter how warm and fuzzy it makes people feel.
LBrixey | March 24, 2012 at 9:43 p.m. ― 5 years ago
@Len: Would like to know your source. An article I read quotes the woman as saying ""This guy grabbed me and we kissed. And then I turned one way and he turned the other. There was no way to know who he was, but I didn't mind because he was someone who had fought for me."
No where can I find where she felt she was "assaulted", as you state.

Locker's plans "news to" Angels
With the school year about to end at the University of Washington, Angels GM Tony Reagins said the team expects to "have discussions" with Huskies quarterback Jake Locker about playing for one of their minor-league teams this summer (most likely rookie-level Orem or the Arizona Summer League.
But Locker told a radio station in Seattle this week that he plans to stay in Washington and focus exclusively on football this summer.
"I'm going to concentrate on getting ready for this coming football season," Locker said on ESPN Radio in Seattle. "It's a big summer for us (the UW offense) as far as making sure that we're here spending time with each other, getting cohesion between me and the receivers and the running backs and the line, able to work with everybody as a unit.
"I'll be here spending time with those guys."
Reagins said Locker's plans to focus on football this summer was "news to me" and the Angels have not received any communication from Locker indicating he wouldn't be available to play baseball this summer.
The Angels drafted Locker in the 10th round last year and signed him to a six-year, $250,000 contract that allows them to retain his rights even if he pursues a football career during that time. Locker is virtually certain to be taken in the first round of the NFL next spring and could be the first quarterback selected.
His contract with the Angels includes provisions for his participation in baseball activity with the team. He fulfilled the first of those provisions when he spent two weekends at the Angels' minor-league camp this spring. If he does not play for one of the Angels' minor-league teams this summer, that would not void the contract but it could cost Locker financially.
"There are provisions in the contract and any time you have a contract and one party doesn't live up to those provisions, there are recourses you can take," Reagins said.

Can Alexis DeJoria and Courtney Force save drag racing, or is it time for some real change? Once again, the post-Wally Parks National Hot Rod Association looks to John Force Racing to stem the NHRA's downward spiral of the last four years.
In one of the poorest kept secret sponsor announcements of recent years, John Force Racing will hold a good old fashioned media press conference today (Jan. 10, 2012) to announce daughter Courtney Force's sponsor for her Fuel Coupe for the 2012 NHRA season: Traxxas Radio Controlled Cars.
Force tipped his hand way back in October when he glowingly mentioned Traxxas in a post-run interview on the NHRA/ESPN2 show. Traxxas is certainly a perfect fit at JFR. The few million dollars the company will spend with JFR will be spread over the lips of John and three youngish JFR drivers that ESPN always pays attention to. And what NHRA is banking on for the turnaround: throwing the "diversity" card during the 2012 Full Throttle season. Get ready for the Alexis DeJoria–vs–Courtney Force Battle of the Women Drivers. My betting money, going to Vegas, will be on DeJoria for the Auto Club Road to the Future – Rookie of the Year.
Although most of John's drivers have won the Auto Club ROY trophy in their rookie year, this competition (Alexis DeJoria–vs–Courtney Force) will be a tough one, but the addition of the ultra-talented veteran Del Worsham and the wealth of nitro knowledge at Kalitta Racing will probably garner DeJoria multiple wins this year. In an interview I had last year with Alexis, I found a solidly grounded, mature racer who has paid her dues... ready for prime time.
Jeez, could you imagine if the upcoming Winternationals final round actually pitted Alexis DeJoria against Courtney Force? It would make the NHRA Media Department's job so much easier and set the tone for the entire 2012 drag racing scene, ad nauseam. By playing the "diversity woman" card, NHRA might even attract some of those stick and ball reporters who left drag racing the first time Kenny Bernstein "retired" with his Forever Red tour.
The much bigger problem for NHRA is a lack of interest from its hardcore fan base. If I heard it once, I heard it a couple of hundred times last season about NHRA's Big Show. "Naw, I don't go to the drags anymore. Are they racing this weekend?"
Even my own son, who used to shoot the Big Show for DRO, recently said that he'd stopped Tivoing NHRA's shows over a year ago.

ChocoVine at Old Port Wine Merchants and Cigar Shoppe. Photo: MARGO ROY
In the pilot episode of AMC's Mad Men, Peggy Olson told Joan Holloway: "I'm from Bay Ridge. We have manners." While we may not be from that ethnic enclave of Brooklyn, we still know that the holiday season calls for us to put our most decorous feet forward. Say you've got a party coming up. You've got to come up with a top-notch spread, or else bring along an appropriate hostess gift. How can you tell what to serve or what little treat will please? Myers-Briggs tests are all very well, but really, if you're looking for the perfect party eats, why not go for another kind of typing — the kind that gets you out of the secretarial pool? Our handy Mad Men archetypes can help frame your true inner-party soul as well as your gift-giving conscience. Just find the character who fits like a good suit should and you're golden.
Peggy Olson
This working girl may be on a budget, but she's got big-city aspirations — and the desire to try new things. She surprises her guests, or her hosts, by opening a bottle of Abbazia di Novacalla Sylvaner white wine, fresh, fruity, and dry, from the OLD PORT WINE MERCHANTS AND CIGAR SHOPPE (223 Commercial St.; 207.772.9463; oldportwine.com). The $21.99 Italian wine, made in one of the oldest wineries in the world (which happens to also be a working Augustinian monastery), is a grown-up conversation piece, as is the ChocoVine, which combines French cabernet with Dutch chocolate and cream for a taste that's akin to Bailey's, without the alcoholic sting ($12.99). To accompany her beverages, she capitalizes on that outerborough know-how and grabs some dipping oils ($16.50 and up) at MAINE'S PANTRY (111 Commercial St.; 877.228.2028; mainespantry.com), and couple of baguettes from STANDARD BAKING COMPANY (75 Commercial St.; 207.773.2112). Who needs real food when you've got bread and wine?
Betty Draper
The lovely Betty is the consummate homemaker, but like so many gals with, um, political aspirations, she'd rather do without the fuss and muss. She hits STONEWALL KITCHEN (182 Middle St.; 207.879.2409; stonewallkitchen.com) for its full range of sauces, spreads, chutneys, and jams. She knows she can whip up a holiday dinner using any of the Stonewall Kitchen grill sauces or marinades ($6.95 and up) as a base; a membership to Stonewall's Specialty Food of the Month Club ($320 for 12 months) would remind its recipient of Betty's sweet resourcefulness year-round. And when she thinks about ending it all, she means with handmade truffles from DEAN'S SWEETS (82 Middle St.; 207.899.3664; deanssweets.com). The cayenne variation, naturally — delicate and sweet, but with a hidden bite ($17.50/eight-piece gift box).

Let's start with the free kindle book –
- Compromising Positions by Jenna Bayley-Burke. Rated 4.5 stars on 9 reviews. Erotic Romance.
David Strong knows how to do a lot of things – run an international fitness company, finesse stock portfolios and stay out of emotional entanglements. That is, until he gets tangled up with Sophie Delfino and her Sensational Sex workout.
He's supposed to help her demonstrate Kama Sutra positions for her couples- yoga class. The rigorous postures require more than just physical control. And his co-instructor unexpectedly tests his control to the limit.
The reviews are pretty effusive though they warn the book has a bit more spice than contemporary love stories. It's shocking that a book titled Compromising Positions has an abundance of spice.
The off-shoot of finding and writing about all these free book offers and deals is that now Amazon recommends me romance novels 90% of the time – It's some sort of cosmic joke.
Kindle Book Deals
There are quite a few good kindle book deals today (courtesy the official kindle forum and the Movers and Shakers List).
Let's start with these two gems –
- Nemesis by Philip Roth is available for just $5.56. The hardcover is $17.16 so this is quite a deal.
"The fourth in the great and undiminished Roth's recent cycle of short novels follows Everyman (2006), Indignation (2008), and The Humbling (2009), and as exceptional as those novels are, this latest in the series far exceeds its predecessors in both emotion and intellect." –Booklist, starred Book of the Day, 7/22
- Case Histories by Whitbread winner Kate Atkinson is rated 4 stars on 180 reviews and just $1.99.
Critics on the other side of the Atlantic love Atkinson; Behind the Scenes at the Museum won the Whitbread Prize. To Americans' delight, Case Histories has made the great leap.
The novel is not your typical crime genre fare (that is why we placed it within our literary reviews); it's also a series of family sagas with strong moral frameworks.
Next, we have a couple of romance novel deals with 1 epic fantasy/romance novel also thrown into the mix –
- The Clayborne Brides by Julie Garwood is just $1 and rated 4 stars on 44 reviews. It's three books in one.
First introduced in Julie Garwood's magnificent New York Times bestseller For the Roses, the Clayborne brothers of Blue Belle, Montana, have been embraced by millions more through this trio of #1 bestselling novels.
Now collected in one volume for the first time, these stories tell of three spirited brothers — once a mismatched gang of street urchins — who learn that love flourishes in the most unexpected places….
- Tamed by Lynn Maris is rated 5 stars on 5 reviews and priced at $2.80.
She'll do whatever it takes to get to the top of the professor's learning curve.
Katrina Keens has discovered the man she longs for, Professor Derek Jacobson, is a Dom.
- Prophecy of the Flame by Lynn Hardy is rated 5 stars on 7 reviews and is just 89 cents. It's categorized as both Epic Fantasy and Romance.
In a blinding flash of light, five nondescript strangers are yanked from this world and thrust into a land of sorcery as they are granted the looks and abilities of the people they were pretending to be. This band of wannabe heroes soon discovers that having the powers they have always dreamed of, does not make life a dream come true.
The Crusaders of the Light struggle to form a cohesive band as they blend twentieth century technology with the supernatural powers of this new world, fighting to liberate the kingdom of Cuthburan from the evil horde threatening humanity.
Hopefully you liked one or more of the 6 books on offer.
What's the most compelling storyline for the eReader Market?
There was a post talking about how the Tablet market isn't big enough for Apple, Android, Blackberry, Microsoft, and Nokia.
It makes you wonder what the most compelling storyline for the eReader market would be –

Hurricane Sandy left gaping holes in Southern Brooklyn's sea wall between Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, but city agencies say repairs to the Shore Road Promenade barrier are a long way off since surveying the damage has just begun.
Both Community Boards 10 and 11 have warned city officials about how dangerous it would be not to replace the huge chunks of concrete the super storm ripped out of the sea wall, and state Sen. Marty Golden (R–Bay Ridge) fired off a letter to the Army Corps of Engineers demanding the entire bulwark from the Verrazano Bridge to Bay Parkway be replaced, but the feds say it won't do any work on the rampart until it gets a formal request from the agency actually responsible for the wall's upkeep — the city's Parks Department.
Parks Department officials said they have hired a consultant to assess the costs of all storm-related repairs citywide — but that there is no time frame in place for fixing the shattered promenade.
"We don't yet know the extent of the damage to the sea wall, or what will be required to repair it at this time," Parks Department spokeswoman Meghan Lalor said.
Residents are calling on the city to inspect and fix up the sea wall as soon as possible.
"If they're true New Yorkers, they'll do it right and quick," said Bensonhurst resident Anthony Kiernan, who frequently fishes off the promenade. "I think they should start hiring people now. With all the damage it received after the storm, we can put everybody back to work."
Simon Bronshtein of Bath Beach — who usually works out near the foot of the Verrazano Bridge — agrees.
"For me, this is very troubling, because every day I come to exercise, and now it's very difficult," Bronshtein said.
Other community leaders feared that another storm surge could undermine and destroy the nearby Belt Parkway.
"These breaches really are a safety concern," CB10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann said.
Golden is demanding that the seawall be repaired immediately.
"It is imperative that work on the damaged section being immediately to prevent further erosion as well as to protect the safety of the community and use of the Belt Parkway," the legislator wrote in his letter.
But the Army Corps of Engineers said it can't do anything without the city's OK.
"The first step is to see what capacity the owners of the wall have to repair it, and then for them to request aid from the federal government, and see if the Army Corps of Engineers would get involved," said Army Corps spokesman Chris Gardner, who noted that his organization didn't build the sea wall in the first place.
The city's Department of Transportation, which is responsible for maintaining most sections of the Belt Parkway, could neither confirm or deny Golden and Beckmann's anxieties that the heavily traveled highway will disappear during another storm surge — it hasn't checked to see if the Belt Parkway was damaged by the storm.
"The Department of Transportation has not received requests to assess the site, however, we are scheduling an inspection," said spokeswoman Nichole Garcia.

Windamere Hotel Darjeeling – DiningThe food is legendary, with both Continental and Indian menus. The Continental cuisine still has remnants of the old Raj with such dishes as "Roly Poly Pudding", "authentically prepared porridge for breakfast" and "cheese & onion pie". You can wash this down with our lovely wines and finish up with a cup of steaming Darjeeling Tea or freshly ground coffee. During dinner, the dining room is transformed into a candlelit affair, with soft music floating around in the ether. White-gloved waiters seem to glide in and around the tables and soft conversations are flowing.
Windamere's Darjeeling TeaFor a perfect of tea, allow the tea leaves to brew for three to five minutes. Take out the tea strainer and set it aside. We recommend that you do not dilute this tea with milk. You may sweeten it, although many connoisseurs of tea would prefer that you drink it "straight". Typically, a high quality Darjeeling tea is a pale gold in colour – like the Himalayan sunlight at dawn – and has a pleasant bouquet. Before sipping, inhale the distinctive perfume of your tea to heighten your enjoyment of one of the world's great beverages. Coffee by WindamereFrom the Baba Budan Hills of Mysore in Southern India comes some of the finest coffee in the world. The Windamere adds a northern character to the distinctive flavour of this southern coffee by hand-roasting the beans in a rotating drum over a very slow charcoal fire. The beans are then ground to perfection in an old fashioned coffee-mill just prior to brewing. There may be occasional small variations in the coffee brewed for you at meals. Coffee making, even now, remains more of an Art than a Science at the Windamere. - 1945 |

The 10 ohm resistor is there to protect the AMP when you plug in headphones with the volume way up high.
A 10ohm resistor will not protect the headphones from much of a fault in the amp.
You could PROBABLY use a smaller resistor, but why? Lots of headphones sound great with a bit of source impedance and compared to what a high voltage tube operated at low voltage and current does to the signal a 10ohm resistor is nothing.
Keep a bit of safety factor, leave it in.

Jamar Smith handles the ball while at the University of IllinoisThe Evansville Courier & Press caught up with former University of Southern Indiana standout Jamar Smith, who was recently invited to training camp with the Boston Celtics, and the sharp-shooting guard sounds excited about the opportunity.
"When my agent told me [about the Celtics' invitation], I was, 'Are you serious?'" said Smith. "Now I'm in the gym two or three times a day. My dad called me and asked, 'Are you working hard?' When I said I was, he said, 'Well, you have to work harder.'"
But Smith has always worked hard. That's what helped get him to the level he reached at USI, where he averaged 21.6 points last season, highest on the team, as the Screaming Eagles posted a 24-3 record.
By the time he was finished, Smith had set a USI single-game mark with 10 3-point field goals and the single-season record of 108 3-pointers made. In addition, he set a school career record by averaging 20.2 points in two years.
He subsequently was named first team all-American by Division II Bulletin and an all-American by the Basketball Times, the National Association of Basketball Coaches and Daktronics, and was chosen Division II Player of the Year by Basketball Times.
As for his chances of making the Celtics, Richard Katz, his agent, didn't discount the possibility.
"Anytime you're on a basketball court and in a professional camp and there are 18 players vying for 15 spots, you've got a chance," said Katz. "Jamar has been spending his entire life in a gym getting ready for this opportunity. He'll be ready. I think he's got a chance."

Dungeon Defenders: First Wave Review
Dungeon Defenders: First Wave Coming Soon
Just in case your tower defense itch hasn't been scratched quite yet, developer Trendy Entertainment has announced that the iOS version of their latest game, Dungeon Defenders: First Wave, will be available in the App Store next month. The title, which is tied to the Dungeon Defenders franchise launching on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, will focus largely on tower defense, but will add some action gaming and RPG elements as well.
The game won't follow the standard tower defense formula though, as players can take control of a specific hero character and run around the battlefield. See some minions slipping by your defenses? Then by all means give them a whack with your axe or a blast from your staff and send them to meet their maker. You can also use your character to set up defenses and make changes on the fly, allowing you to adapt to the changing battlefield. It feels a bit like the PSN game Pixeljunk Monsters, but with more direct control over the outcome of the fight. Players will also be able to port their character from First Wave into the Dungeon Defenders PC game, but the same feature won't appear on the Xbox and PlayStation versions of the title.
Trendy has also announced that the game will be powered using the Unreal Engine 3, which should hopefully translate into some top-notch graphics. Couple this with Retina Center support and we could have quite a pretty little game indeed on our hands. A word of warning though, the game will only support iOS devices that are 3rd generation and up, so if you have an older model phone or Touch then you won't be able to play it. Sounds like a perfect excuse to upgrade!
Dungeon Defenders: First Wave is currently scheduled to arrive in mid-December at a price of $2.99. For those who like to try before you buy, a lite version will also be available for free.

Listen to some classical music by Igor Stravinsky and others, written between 1917 and 1932. Describe its form using the criteria of Selected Essays, 1917-1932. How does Eliot's artistic theory apply to it? What do you think he would say about it? Then, listen to some music from the same time period by Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Write a comparative review in Eliot's style, describing the artistic merits of the two types of music and how each fits into the tradition of Western music.
Some critics (most notably Anthony Julius in his book T. S. Eliot, Anti-Semitism, and Literary Form) have accused Eliot of being anti-Semitic, and others have accused him of being a fascist.

It's the Lenten season, and you may be someone who has to eat fish on Fridays. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. A fine fish dinner is a blessing.
They're as old as the hills. That's as long as figs have been around. They are the antique trees of the garden - the old souls. Figuratively speaking, fig leaves played a strategic role in the cover-up that went down in the Garden of Eden. Their gorgeous, big, showy leaves provided the first fashion statement – au naturel. Figs are, themselves, delicious eaten au naturel, that is, picked right off the tree. Whoever says he "doesn't give a fig" apparently has never tasted one.
Last week, my neighbor Jen told me the squirrels were really eating the figs from her tree.

Ladies: Go get your hair done, get a mani-pedi, hit that Zumba class and throw on your cutest dress. The day you have been waiting for -- for the past two years -- has finally come. George Clooney is single again!
The dashing bachelor has broken up with his ridiculously gorgeous girlfriend and knowing the actor, he won't be lonely for long, so you'd better move fast. A source tells SheKnows that George and Elisabetta split: "It's true. He's single."
George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis issued a short-but-sweet joint statement on the breakup, saying, "We are not together anymore."
"It's very difficult and very personal and we hope everyone can respect our privacy."
What brought this on, other than Clooney's usual relationship expiration date? Could it have something to do with that interview Elisabetta gave saying that Clooney did want to get married and have kids, making it sound like a wedding was imminent? Absolutely the worst thing you could do to a commitment-phobe like Clooney. Or it could be that she got him mixed up in the Italian PM's prostitution case.
Canalis is nursing her broken heart on an all-girls trip to Mexico.

The Cloud Car looks pretty damn great. Looks like the pods can split apart, and Hasbro packed it full of missiles, which is to be expected. It looks like the sections between the pods can be extended or retracted, for whatever reason. Anyway, hopefully there will be official confirmation on this at Toy Fair or sooner, since this looks killer.

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings is a 1976 comedic sports film about a team of enterprising ex-Negro League baseball players in the era of racial segregation. Loosely based upon William Brashler's novel of the same name, it starred Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones and Richard Pryor. Directed by John Badham,[1] the movie was produced by Berry Gordy for Motown Productions and Rob Cohen for Universal Pictures, and released by Universal on July 16, 1976.
Tired of being treated like a slave by team owner Sallison Potter (Ted Ross), charismatic star pitcher Bingo Long (Billy Dee Williams) steals a bunch of Negro League players away from their teams, including catcher/slugger Leon Carter (James Earl Jones) and Charlie Snow (Richard Pryor), a player forever scheming to break into the segregated Major League Baseball of the 1930s by masquerading as first a Cuban ("Carlos Nevada"), then a Native American ("Chief Takahoma"). They take to the road, barnstorming through small Midwestern towns, playing the local teams to make ends meet. One of the opposing players, 'Esquire' Joe Calloway (Stan Shaw), is so good that they recruit him.
Bingo's team becomes so outlandishly entertaining and successful, it begins to cut into the attendance of the established Negro League teams. Finally, Bingo's nemesis Potter is forced to propose a winner-take-all game: if Bingo's team can beat a bunch of all-stars, it can join the league, but if it loses, the players will return to their old teams. Potter has two of his goons kidnap Leon prior to the game as insurance, but he escapes and is key to his side's victory.
Ironically, there is a major league scout in the audience. After the game, he offers Esquire Joe the chance to break the color barrier; with Bingo's blessing, he accepts. Leon glumly foresees the decline of the Negro League as more players follow Esquire Joe's lead, but Bingo, ever the optimist, cheers him up by describing the wild promotional stunts he intends to stage to bring in the paying customers.

Negro League tie-ins[edit]
Some characters and situations are loosely based upon real-life people and incidents. Badham grew up in Birmingham, Alabama and was familiar with the Birmingham Black Barons, who shared Rickwood Field with the white Birmingham Barons.[2]
Bingo Long is based on former-Black Baron Leroy "Satchel" Paige. Early in his career, Paige would call in his outfield while leading in the ninth inning against an amateur or semi-pro team and strike out the side. Bingo did a similar stunt in this movie. Leon Carter is a Josh Gibson-like power hitter, even playing the same position (catcher). "Esquire" Joe Calloway is an amalgam of another Black Baron, Willie Mays (in personality, talent, and fielding position) and Jackie Robinson (as being signed by a white team at the film's end).
The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings were loosely based on the Indianapolis Clowns and other barnstorming Negro baseball teams, who likewise engaged in Harlem Globetrotters-like clowning routines.
Luther Williams Field in Macon, Georgia was used for filming as the Negro League ballpark. Luther Williams Field was home to the Macon Music, a minor league team in the independent South Coast League. Additional ballpark scenes were shot at Morgan Field in Macon, a Pony and Colt League Youth Baseball field, Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Georgia, home of the Savannah Sand Gnats of the Class A South Atlantic League, and Wallace Field in Crawford County, Georgia. Exterior scenes set in St. Louis residential neighborhoods were also filmed in Savannah. Scenes set in rural communities were filmed in Talbotton, Georgia and various small towns around Macon, including Monticello, Georgia. Some ballplayers were played by actual former athletes, including former members of the Indianapolis Clowns, who performed various stunts shown in the film.
Steven Spielberg originally wanted to have a hand in producing the movie until the success of his film Jaws got his full attention.
The film was nominated for the American Film Institute's 2008 AFI's 10 Top 10 in the sports film category.[3]

People in the US love to rail about the fact that there are too many lawsuits, too many greedy plaintiffs gaming the system, too many people refusing to take responsibility for their own errors. Numerous websites have sprung up that have dedicated themselves to poking fun at stupid lawsuits.
But I've always wondered this about lawsuits — they are VERY, VERY expensive to bring, so where do all these greedy plaintiffs with frivolous lawsuits get the money to finance them? Do they really have $10,000 lying around to just throw away in a bid to waste everyone's time, including theirs? Because $10,000 or so is probably the minimum it takes to bring a lawsuit nowadays.
In Los Angeles Superior Court in California, these are some of the costs typically associated with a lawsuit (in case you're interested, here is the full LASC civil fee schedule ). Note, the costs are going up all the time thanks to inflation:
Complaint filing fee : $320. You pay this to the Court at the initiation of your lawsuit. When the person you're suing first appears in Court, he too has to pay the same fee as their "first appearance fee".
Motion filing fee : $40. Unless you or your lawyer are near the courthouse, you may have to pay a third-party attorney service company to file your motion with the courthouse, or fax-file it for you. That's another $50 to $100 per motion depending on your rush. There is no way to predict how many motions you will need to file in your lawsuit.
Depositions : $1,000 to $2,000 per day. If you want to interview witnesses, you might be able to meet them informally and get their written declarations/affidavits for the price of a cup of coffee. But in many cases, you will probably have to formally "depose" them. That means serving a deposition notice/ subpoena on the witness, scheduling a time that's convenient for the witness, the defendant and their attorney, and reserving a court report who can officially transcribe the proceedings. Reporters can charge $1,000 or more per day. You might also need to videotape the witness. If you're not able to do it yourself, you will need to hire a certified videographer. That's another $1,000 or more per day. If you need an interpreter for the witness, that's an additional cost.
Copies : If you need to obtain documents from the defendant to prove your case, in many cases you will need to hire a bonded copy shop to bring their scanners/copiers to the place where the documents are located, and make copies for you. They can charge a setup fee ($200 or so) plus a per page charge (10 to 40 cents per page).
Experts : Many lawsuits require you to hire an expert who can testify in court about topics that are outside the knowledge of the everyday person. Experts can include engineers, psychiatrists/ psychologists, economists, physicians, human resource experts, accident reconstructionists, etc. Experts don't come cheap, they can charge anywhere from $200 to $400 per hour or even more.
Appeals (if necessary) : The filing fee for an appeal is roughly $700. You may also need to ask the court clerk to prepare a record for appeal that can cost hundreds more. If you need a written transcript of a court hearing to support your appeal, the costs varies widely but can be as much as $1,000.
- If you lose : If you lose your lawsuit, you will likely be on the hook for the costs of your opponent, which includes all of the above and more. If you're particularly unlucky or your lawsuit is frivolous, the court could force you to also pay your opponent's attorney fees. That bill can be astronomical given attorneys charge in the range of $200 to $1,000 per hour.
If you're lucky, you won't be paying any of the above costs yourself. Many lawsuits are funded by the lawyer, not the plaintiff. These are so-called contingency fee arrangements where the lawyer pays some, most or all of the costs and fees associated with the lawsuit and invests their time without charging the plaintiff. In return, the lawyer takes a percentage of the recovery from the lawsuit if you win (but they get nothing if you lose). So the lawyer ends up assuming most or all of the financial risk of the lawsuit.
In most cases, contingency fee lawyers aren't going to want to invest their time and money into a case that's frivolous. If they did, they wouldn't be in business for very long.
So who's funding all these frivolous lawsuits that are weighing down the US economy, clogging up our courts, burning up (lots of) cash, and wasting everyone's time? Because I sure am not nor is anyone else I know.
If you've got a viewpoint on this, I'd be interested in hearing from you in the comment section below. I imagine defense lawyers would have a lot to say on this topic.

A couple of years after I started climbing I went to Lovers Leap with my friend Mike. He had learned to climb with stoppers and hexes mostly because the club he was in didnt have many cams. I didnt have a very good rack so we climbed on his gear. It turns out that two sets of stoppers is a good beginning to a Lovers Leap rack. At least for the moderate classics we climbed; Bears Reach, Corrugation Corner, The Groove and the Farce. Soon after that he stopped climbing and started road bike racing. Well, five or six years later he started climbing at the gym again so last fall we went to Sugarloaf where I led all the pitches of Scheister 5.7. This is a great climb with a classic chimney in the first pitch. It was actually one of the first true chimneys hed climbed. Shortly after he was in Yosemite with some visiting family and he went climbing with the YMS. His guide was supertacos own Jobee. She must be a great guide because he came back breathing fire and ready to roll! And he was ready to start leading again. Since he was tearing it up at the gym and I prefer to climb longer routes I suggested we do the East Buttress of Middle Cathedral. It would be longest climb hed ever done but Id done it before and was sure wed cruise it. I had two vague notions; one was to free the bolt ladder and the other was to climb the original chimney route. On 10/18/07 we did the route.
Heres a pictures of the first pitch.
Instead of going right around the tree as the topo shows I went straight up toward the 5.8 rooflette on P2. Thats the way Id done it before. Its not hard. P1 and P2 easily link with a 60 meter.
Heres a picture of P3 from the belay after Mike lead it.
This is a fun pitch and Mike cruised it.
Heres a picture of P4 looking up the lieback.
Mike linked P3 and P4. My first time on the route I took one of my few leader falls on this lieback. I looked up from the ledge at the start of the lieback and saw a jug about 25 feet up. So I put in a piece as high as I could and then fired for the jug. Well, the jug was not a jug. Now I was looking at a 30 footer or I could go higher where there appeared to be a good hand jamb. Instead I started down liebacking and finally popped about eight feet above the ledge. I landed safely on my feet. The ledge is about 18 inches square. Ha ha! Sometimes you get lucky. My partner was wondering why the rope suddenly coiled at his feet. Mike didnt have any trouble with this. I started freeing the bolt ladder on the next pitch until I got to a part where you make a thin high step when I abandoned my plan. My excuse was that I had on my old shoes with the worn out edges. Or maybe I had the wrong hairstyle that day. Probably because I had wimped out on the ladder the 5,9 roof seemed a lot harder than I remember.
Heres a picture of Mike coming up to the belay on P5.
You can see the offending old shoes in the pic. I better get them resoled because Im not sure I can use that excuse again. Mike now led over into the chimney of the original route. He looked up the 5.7 chimney and remembering that hed really only done one chimney before, on Scheister, he declined the honor and returned to the belay. So we abandoned my 2nd vague notion and I lead the standard traverse pitch.
Heres a picture of me following P7.
We were getting to the rhythm of the thing now
Heres a picture of Mike following P8.
Heres a picture of him leaving the belay on P9.
When I got to the belay it was kind of a mess. It was safe but all over the place. I hassled him just a little about it. I remember the first climb I did with my friend Bob, Arrowhead Arête, I lead pitch two. When he came up to the belay, he took one look and said, This is a cluster. Only he didnt say it that nicely. These days my belays are pretty clean. A little hassling goes a long way.
Heres a picture looking down P10 above the 5.8 section.
Both times I climbed this route this was my favorite part. Not so much the actual moves, though they are good fun, but more just the way I was feeling. Both times I was just starting to get tired so I wasnt thinking so much, just climbing, making a move, putting in a piece, letting it happen. Thats the best.
I kept going and belayed most of the way up P11. The descent was dry this time so we were pretty quickly back at the car. A really good day.
I took the winter off after this climb. No bike riding or climbing at the gym. I was trying to let my ankle heal because it wasnt recovering from the surgery Id had in May. I started up slowly in February. The ankle wasnt better but I sure wasnt going to lose a climbing season waiting for a miracle healing. Besides I already had big plans for the summer!
Mike and I hooked up again April 21st. Our plan was to climb some of the Five Open Books. We started with Commitment.
Heres a picture looking up from the 5.8 start.
This first 10 feet was the crux of the route for me because Im particularly bad at thin hands. It is a great pitch.
Heres a picture of Mike leading P2.
You can see the crux roof above.
Heres a picture of me after the 5.9 roof.
I found this boulder problem to be the easiest 5.9 Ive encountered in the valley. I was spouting off at one of the Wide Wood Sessions about finding the easiest 5.9 in the valley and both Ed and Jay told me, When its wet its one of the nastiest slime fests around! I hate being wrong all the time! The 5.8 above is fun too. Fearing the rumors of loose rock at the top out I belayed in the trees and it was fine.
Next we moved over to The Surprise.
Heres a picture of P1.
Mike was looking around to make sure he was on route when he half pulled out a block about the size of a small microwave. I was trying to figure how to get out of the way while keeping him on belay when he managed to push it back! Whew!
The traversing second pitch is really funky. A sketchy bolt, slung flakes, I enjoyed it. The last move down and around into the corner was a bit iffy just because of the rope drag and that I wanted to be above the traverse to give some sort of a good belay for Mike following. I back cleaned quite a bit after I got high enough.
Heres a picture looking down P3.
Mike was still a little frazzled by the incident with the block so I lead this pitch. This is a sustained, at times thin, very cool pitch. A mix up we had combining our racks meant that we didnt have gear in the 5/8 to 3/4 range. Unfortunately, I needed just that size to protect the bulge before the anchor. I ended up climbing out and around to the right. It was runout but easier.
Heres a picture looking up the 10a P4.
I was getting tired by then, which did not bode well for all my big plans for summer. We rapped. Still, it was a good day in the sun.
I went to the doctor a few days later. They had finally figured out that my ankle problem was actually a back/nerve problem, Spondylolisthesis. Heres a picture I got off the net.
The drawing on the left shows what the back is supposed to look. The picture on the right looks like my X-ray.
I was in the Docs office looking at the X-ray and thinking, Dude, youre broken! And then in amazement and horror I realized, Dude, you broke your back to get out of leading P4 of The Surprise! Now thats wimpitude.

Italian Seafood Stew
In this luscious, tomato-rich stew, Marco Canora cooks calamari slowly until it becomes supertender. He says calamari is absolutely essential to the success of the dish, because it releases its liquid as it simmers, which adds a huge amount of flavor to the sauce. "I'm a big fan of substitutions," he says, "but not in this case."

My retriever has developed an itchy dandruff like rash this summer and the shampoos I have been using didn't help relieve it so I tried furminator itch relief and I've only used it once so far, but he seems to be scratching a lot less than he was and I will continue to use it.
The FURminator itch relief shampoo seems to have helped provide some relief for our dog's itching, and for the price, it's a good investment!
We have used this product for a long time.It works great but the shipping it in an envelope is not a good idea. We got it and half of it was in the envelope. will not order it again it should be shipped in a box. lost half of my shampoo.

What I did
The Abbeville Farmers Market
We returned to Abbeville and stopped at the Dubya Store and stocked up on necessities. We hit a couple of other stores in search of Chinese Cabbage for a salad for the Easter Potluck at the park. No such luck, however, so we'll bring a mixed-green salad in place.
We did luck out, however, and find the local Farmers Market in Mary Magdalene Park in downtown. Folks were mighty friendly and excited to meet someone from Montana. The all wished us good travels and such and it was good. We picked up a couple of locally grown grapefruit that were just picked this morning. And that, is good.
I'd never seen so much home-canned jams and jellies and such. That's the thing about smaller towns. Folks bring what the have and eat themselves. Oh yes, Lynn picked up a quart of homemade gumbo! It contains crawdads, shrimp and crab. We're having it tonight after we get happier at the nightly "Happy Hour,"
The park itself is part of the original land bought by the priest whose statue is located there. He came to the town in 1843 and got right to work. The excess land from the church site was broken into lots and sold. That's how Abbeville started.
Just as we were leaving, a very pleasant woman, by name of Helen, I believe, stopped us and thanked us for coming by. She's a native Abbevillian and has lived her life here. A nice surprise for us. Wherever we go, folks are friendly and outgoing. They're especially impressed that we're from Montana. And, that's good too...

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
The ability for vendors to change their apps from free to paid was done because it was frustrating customers. Users that had apps downloaded for free then had to pay if they ever needed to re-download the same app they previously owned.
If you have existing users I would recommend instead going with a freemium model to keep them happy:
What should be done is simple
1. The option for licence should go away
2. when i create an app product i should be able to togle on or off free or paid upgrade otpion
3. when I build my bar file the question should be price to charge this new bar at and have the option of free there as well.
I think this would be a easier way.
I do understand though that the problem comes in BlackBerry World your app jumps from free section to paid section each time. can this be looked at thouhg .
I agree, the ability to let devs/vendors set the price (even free) is a great option, just not one that exists today. It's not a matter of the portal allowing this, it used to, the problem is that it currently provides a poor user experience.
There are a few options being investigated:
1) Allowing $0 as an option
2) Having free apps show up as a valid transaction (free apps do not create transaction records today which is why users lose access if the apps switch to paid)
No timelines for when a solution will be in place but for now I would recommend choosing a route which will keep your existing userbase happy
