Reply to: | Dolly's Character Survey! by La Reina |
I love these so I'm doing another character.
1. What is your full name?
Saul Sadine. It reminds me of sardine and considering that I come from a long line of fishermen, I think it suits me, no? Would you not agree?2. Date of birth? How old are you?
I've been hovering around thirty for some years now. I lost count a while back. And I was born in winter, which where I come from is still quite warm.3. What is your birth sign?
We do not have such a thing here. But my wife, Aurelia, did tell me that I was born under the moon of 'attractive and dashingly suave men.' I know she was being wretched and cruel and sarcastic but little did she know, I am all those things, moon or not.4. What's your earliest memory?
The first time I used magic. My sister, she had taken my favourite toy, ugly thing that it was and I got revenge on her by making all of her hair fall out. She cried, very much indeed.5. Describe yourself in five words.
Handsome, debonair, smooth, beautiful and talented. All good things, for I am only good things, no?6. Describe your accent.
I have the charm of a man who speak with a Spanish accent and the accent of a man who speaks with a middle eastern accent. The charm is the most important part, would you not agree?7. Who in your life are you closest to?
Well I've been many close to many different people in my life, about as close as two or three sometimes four or five or six people can get without their limbs going straight through each other.... oh... you mean close like with the feelings? Well in that case my wife of course, Logan my very best partner in crime and my sister (after she decided to stop being a cruel toy stealer).8. What phrase do you use the most?
No? It use no, very often.9. Which item of clothing/accessory do you wear the most?
No shirt, that is the item of clothing I wear most often. I do love the way I look without a shirt. Aurelia does think it is inappropriate though so I concede that I wear pants more than I wear no shirt.10. What is your favourite book?
Hahahaha I do not read. What do you take me for? Some sort of fluffy nobleman or a stuffed up scholar. I know how to certainly, they made me learn. But I would live a sexless life if it could mean I never had to read another book again in my life. or perhaps we do not need to be that drastic?11. It is nine o'clock on an average Monday morning. Where are you; what are you doing?
I am an instructor. I instruct all the small children in how to properly use magic. So naturally I wake myself and them at the crack of down to begin training exercises that are sure to make them think i am torturing them. When really I could do so, so much worse, no?12. It is eleven o'clock on an average Friday night. Where are you; what are you doing?
I am probably asleep. I do wake up early to 'train' my little minions and I have two small children. Needless to say my life is exhausting, no?13. Of which of your talents are you most proud?
I am a very good lover. Just come over here a little closer and let me remove your clothing if you do not believe me. Really you could even keep your clothes on if you are so skeptical, but it is so much more preferable for them to be off.14. Which of your possessions have you had the longest?
A little charm my mother gave me when I left her. It is a small copper thing that I tie to the waist of my pants. I have had my wife for almost ten years now, though I do not own her she is still mine. And I have owned my own body for thirty some odd years now. That is a very long time, no? Though I do not think I answered you in the way you intended haha. Is it not true?15. Name three objects that are in your bedroom.
Right now? My wife, me and you.16. If you were given an unlimited supply of money, what would be the first thing you would do with it?
I would buy all the swords in the entire world. Fine swords, shitty swords. Swords with famous makers, swords you find in the dirtiest hovels. I love swords. I love the way they shine, I love the way the swing, the way a hilt feels in your hands. The weight of them, the gravity. I love the sound they make when you flick them or when they swing through the air. I would have all of the swords.17. Describe your current home.
It is suitable. We eat, we sleep, we make love, all here. It is not the house that I am attached to, I could care little for that. Home is where my family and friends are.18. What is your favourite name?
Mine of course. What other name is there to love more than my own?19. How about your favourite colour?
Skin. Any color of skin, preferably naked skin. Preferably naked skin that is in the near vicinity of me. Preferably naked skin that is near me because I am touching that naked skin, making it sweat with labor intensive activities.20. Favourite room in your home?
All of them. You could eat sleep or make the sex in any of these rooms if you really tried. Especially the sleeping, such a thing would be difficult on the table but it can be done, eating on the table, making love on the table, not so difficult.21. Favourite food?
Women.... that came out terribly wrong. I do not eat women, well I do eat them... I had meant for this to be dirty sounding but now it sounds like I am a cannibal. I do not feast upon the flesh of women! You know what? My favourite food is sausage, a big meaty juicy, sausage... I did it again didn't I?22. Favourite drink?
Mead of course.23. Favourite fabric?
The kind that you don't have to wear. So no fabric. I would sooner be naked all the time than wear any fabric voluntarily.24. Favourite hairstyle?
The kind that gets the hair out of your face? This is a foolish question, no?25. Favourite time of day?
Lunch time. There are so many things to be enjoyed just at the sun is reaching its highest in the sky. You could lunch on food or fight or other things that start with 'f.'26. Favourite sort of weather?
Rain. The way it falls on your skin simply makes you feel clean. There is nothing better than being outside training, getting how and sweaty and tired when all of a sudden it starts raining. Its refreshes you.27. Do you like your handwriting?
I do not write.28. Are you superstitious?
Not at all. Fortune tellers, good luck charms, prophecy, they are all in good fun and I welcome them all. It is obvious that they are not real, no?29. How about religious?
I did not even learn of religion until I was ten or so. I would say that I am not.30. If you are religious, how do you feel about those who aren't? If you aren't, how do you feel about those who are?
I have no opinion of these people. They are people.31. Do you take any sort of medication?
Well right now I have a cut. I have one of my students to thank for that, foolish child trapped and cut me. Tis a deep wound. So I rub a salve on it and drink a potion twice daily and then wrap the cut so as to avoid infection.32. Do you wear makeup/perfume/cologne?
I do none of these things. I do not need any of them. I am as fresh faced and sweet smelling as the most beautiful flower covered in dew in the morning. Though that is likely only because I bathe regularly, do you not agree?33. Would you rather have lots of friends who secretly hate you, or no friends at all?
I would rather have no friends at all. Who would ever choose to have lots of friends who hate them in secret?... ahh my wife did? Well then I shall have to watch out for her haha.34. Name three people you admire.
Myself, I am very admirable after all. Eli, he is a pirate, a very successful one, he taught me everything I know. And if I had to pick a third one, Ovid, he is our leader and I am by default required to admire him, though he is a very strange man.35. Name three things that cross your mind a lot.
Sex, sex, how to best horrify my students through grueling training exercise. I hope that one day they will hate and respect me as much as I hate and respect my own instructor.36. What is your most unusual trait?
Probably everything about me. I can be a very unusual man. or so other say, I feel very normal.37. What is your strangest habit?
My deep lack of seriousness. It has gotten me in much trouble. I have an odd sense of humor, that does not sit well with most. AS my wife, she will tell you how much she hated me when we first met. Admittedly I was rather drunk. But regardless, nothing I say is meant to be taken seriously.38. Do you swear?
Do people not?39. Do you smoke?
I do not.40. Do you drink?
More than I should... well not so much anymore.41. What would others cite as your most irritating habit?
That everything is one large joke to me. That life itself is a farce, a play to be enacted. There are some who take things much too seriously, they do not like that I take much in stride, that nothing is too great to bring me down or crack my smile.42. If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be?
Nothing of course. I do love myself so why would I ever want to change anything?43. How about if you could change one thing about your past?
Nothing as all.44. If you could change one thing about your life at the moment?
I would sleep more.45. If you could change one thing about the rest of the world?
More sex. Where I am from, we have sex to solve everything. If we are happy, sex. if we are sad, sex. if we are angry with each other, sex. If we are arguing, you have sex to see who is the winner. Perhaps it is not the most logical thing but where I live now these people want to talk about everything. They do not express their feelings, they talk about them. They do not settle and argument, they simply argue more. Nothing gets done here, it makes life very inefficient.46. Is there anything else you'd like us to know about you?
Nothing at all.

sometimes the most entertaining part of going to flea markets or yard sales is to see the 'disasters'- unfortunate pieces of furniture have already been through a transformation: one that's a bit more frankenstein than cinderella (i know this a tragically conventional notion of beauty…sorry frankenstein.). some of us laugh and continue to walk on by, having deemed the triage involved too time-consuming to bother (note: i am one of these people). i really have respect for the brave souls that decide to take on this type of recovery project.
when ryan found this poor chair at the flea market, it had been painted hot pink with standard house paint, including all the caning and the stitching (yikes!). after numerous sanding sessions, a lot of elbow grease, and some smart color choices, she managed to bring the chair back to glory. the color choices are fresh and crisp, which doesn't surprise me after viewing ryan's art prints at her site modernpop, or on her etsy shop. good work, ryan! –kate
CLICK HERE for the sara's knitted table runner after the jump!
as someone who recently left a pen uncapped on my bed while i went to fetch tea, only to return and discover what resembled a large squid attack on the sheets, i am very thankful that this project landed in my inbox. sara's table runner is perfect for dressing up a table for summer dining, and i would never have known it was made from old cast-off sheets. i can't wait to break out my needles and start ripping. nice work, sara!
I almost got a little teeny tiny tear in my eye. That chair has been brought back to life! So cute, too!
I love the shape of that chair and the colour she chose for the upholstery.
And the knitted table runner is lovely too. I love knitted home accessories. -
wow – i thought that chair looked great before and then scrolled down to see it transformed into something that Jonathan Adler would wish he had in his collection. Looks great
Frankenstein was a good simile, with the stitching and all, I could just make out his head in the shape of the chair in the before image…
Love that chair!
What a cute chair! Great color choices and I love the shape. Great work!
That chair is phenomenal!!
That chair redo is absolutely wonderful. What a second life! I love it.
Love this.
Your blog is super cool!! love the post
Love the chair redo! I have a very similar piece and am not quite sure how to recover the back fabric panel………..any tips for me?
Oh why oh why do I not come across furniture with such cute shape that needs new life? I LOVE this piece wholey. It would look fantastic in my living room.
Oh WOW! What a great job! Makes me feel like a slouch for not redoing the seat cushion on my linen Restoration Hardware chair. (Not the chair's fault, my little boy got to it.)
The chair was so beautiful before the transformation.
looks like my grandma's linen closet will become very useful! I need to learn how to crochet to make a circular rug!
Who knew you could knit from old sheets! Brilliant! And the chair is inspirational!
I am in love with that chair….wistful sigh…
I quite like the chair before as well.
THAT CHAIR! Great job Ryan, love the fabric you chose.
Thanks so much everyone for all your lovely comments about my chair, I am beaming! Totally inspired by that table runner as well!!
that chair is the best DIY of the series! (no offense to the others).
just phenomenal
Can I just say I love the before far more! It was fabulous!
Would you use spray paint to redo a chair like this? I have a similar piece I'd like to do but in practice have gotten dried drips when spraying. Any suggestions??
The yellow and white chair is AMAZING. So appealing! Love this B/A approach.
You're bookmarked!
that chair is amazing! nice work!
i also think the before chair was way more interesting. nicely refinished though, regardless.
The BEFORE was amazing! When the page loaded and I saw the chair, I even gasped. It was perfect, feminine, weathered and whimsical. The after is good too but the before had way more character.
Hi Ginny,
I used spray paint. You should do multiple light coats rather than trying to cover one area all at once. Spray in a back and forth/or side to side motion all over the chair until covered completely, then no drips :) -
i like the before chair better :( it was so pretty!
I have nearly the same chair I'm going to redo as well. How did you get the caning ready to take the paint? I'm not sure how to "strip" it w/out doing damage? Beautiful work!
the chair is amazing. yum!
Fresh and updated…I'd like to hear how you sanded/stripped paint off the caning as well…
this is wonderful! they made the already wonderful chair even better. i think it's a lot of work, but it's worth it.
Either way that chair is awesome.
It was hard to find but the exact place for the table runner is not easy to find. But worth the look as she not only show how to knit with sheets but all so has a post on crocheting with sheets. Beautiful colors and awesome idea. Although vintage sheet would be very hard for me to tear up and use this way.
Hiya, I'm really glad I've found this information. Today bloggers publish just about gossips and web and this is actually frustrating. A good website with interesting content, that's what I need. Thanks for keeping this website, I'll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Cant find it.

Truth to tell, I only recently realized how a brief encounter with Joe Strummer over 25 years ago completely reshaped my approach to writing. It was 1981, and the Clash were lined up to be the cover story for the inaugural issue of my magazine, Pulse: Tomorrow's Trends Today. Their concert at the now defunct, but still lamented Bronco Bowl was nothing short of phenomenal, my photographer had gotten some great shots, and all that was left to do was the backstage interview with Joe Strummer.
I wasn't a stranger to rock journalism, and I'd certainly done more than a few interviews at this point. But Strummer, for whatever reason, was utterly uncooperative. Maybe he was tired, perhaps he was taking his fresh Mohawk too seriously, or it could have been he knew punk was over and he wanted to ride it out on one last wave of bravado. It doesn't matter.
But the interview was going nowhere. No matter what I asked him, he'd just say, "You tell me." Finally, after several minutes of that, he looked at me and snarled, "You yanks don't know anything about rock and roll." I was flabbergasted and enraged. "Excuse me," I blurted, "We invented rock and roll. You Brits are just borrowing it."
There was a moment of tension as backstage jaws dropped, waiting for the next volley. Strummer just grinned, took a swig of beer, shook my hand and walked away. To make a long story short, I still got my story, the Clash were still my cover feature and l learned a valuable lesson about journalism, especially rock journalism. And that was never, ever be intimidated by your subject. Had it not been for Joe Strummer, I might have gone through life blissfully unaware of the importance of stripping away masks in the course of an interview. With Strummer, that was easier said than done.
Joe Strummer wore a lot of masks, and it's only now, nearly five years after his untimely death, that we're beginning to understand the real man behind them. The Future is Unwritten, the soundtrack from Julian Temple's Strummer biopic of the same name, offers a bit of insight into the man. From 1999-2002, he hosted his own radio program on the BBC World Service, where he had free reign over the music he played. This album takes that radio format, couples it with interview snippets and rare tracks, and ultimately offers a snapshot of the dying days of the 20th century.
"Joe, we're going to have your name on the screen," a disembodied voice asks as the album opens. "Is there anything you'd like us to write under it—Mescalaro, Clash, anything. .?"
"I'd like you to write 'punk rock warlord," he replies, "with 'warlord' being one word." And from there, he launches into an a cappella rendition of "White Riot." It's a worthy nod to the meaning of punk, stripped of everything but rage. It's only fitting that "White Riot" is followed by Rashid Taha's Arabic update of "Rock the Casbah." Not one of the Clash's best songs, it nonetheless illustrates how keenly aware the band was of global politics. It was a work of satire, made all the more poignant when sung in Arabic and presented as a mixtape.
The Future Is Unwritten isn't about rehashing the Clash, though. It's more of a musical memoir that details Strummer's influences and loves, and the impact they had on the evolution of the Clash and his later projects. Some of those influences are obvious. MC5's 1968 recording of "Kick out the Jams" is a seminal proto punk piece that laid the groundwork for the entire punk movement. But the Clash, particularly Strummer. were never content to merely ride the punk wave. Early on, they strayed from the constraints of punk, and redefined it as a genre. As their frontman, Strummer led the band into areas that, at the time, prompted some hardcore punks to accuse the band of selling out.
Nothing, in fact, could have been further from the truth. By embracing unlikely idioms and incorporating them into the Clash sound, Strummer exemplified the punk dictum of "the first rule is there are no rules." Strummer's work with his pre-Clash band the 101ers had already shown his predisposition to roots rock, as illustrated here with their 1976 recording of "Keys to Your Heart." Strummer acknowledges a debt to Elvis Presley as he introduces the Kings "Crawfish," and exhibits a profound understanding of American message music as he spins Tim Hardin's "Black Sheep Boy."
What makes The Future Is Unwritten a beautiful album is the way in which it segues from one genre to another, intertwining the Clash, Strummer's later music ventures and the influences that permeated his music and shaped his path. Woody Guthrie, Nina Simone, U-Roy and Bob Dylan all resided in Strummer's thoughts. The 25 tracks on this album, punctuated by comments from Strummer, offer a glimpse into the way the man's mind worked.
Joe Strummer was a complex man, and he could often be infuriating. I think he rather enjoyed being perceived as an enigma. But upon listening to this album, it's apparent that Strummer was a sum much greater than the parts he shared with us. This album shines a much needed sliver of light on his unforgettable legacy.

People news: Targacept, Shire and Appature
Targacept president and CEO J. Donald deBethizy is resigning from the company "for personal considerations" amid a series of pipeline setbacks. A search for a new CEO is underway, said the company, and a separate Office of the Chairman is being established under board chair Mark Skaletsky. Targacept specializes in neuronal nicotinic receptor drugs, but has seen candidates for depression, diabetes and asthma falter or fail over the past year.Shire director of integrated marketing Bob Harrell is leaving the pharma for a Seattle-based software-as-a-service startup, Appature, which offers a CRM platform for healthcare marketers. Harrell has spent two decades in the drug and healthcare advertising industries, and has worked at Shire since 2004. "Bob has always had a keen sense of where the industry is heading and how technology can be applied to the commercial aspects of our business," said Shire chairman Matt Emmens.

Freshmen who improved in two of the three areas â" math, science and language arts â" received rewards cards. Sophomores and juniors who advanced in three of the four areas â" math, science, language arts and history â" got the cards.
Students taking honors and advanced placement courses were required to score advanced to be eligible for any of the incentives, Paulsen said.
More than 1,000 students met the incentives last year, according to school data.
The rewards cards allowed students to receive free cell phone, homework, detention, restroom and tardy passes, as well as free snacks, admission to games and other perks.
âItâs a good motivator,â said Jessica Homsi, 16. âIt gives kids a push to do well on tests.â
In addition, the grade-level reward was a pizza party for the class with the highest overall score. The school-wide reward was a pep rally or break in instructional time once a month equal to the increase in the school API score.
âStudents may not always receive all the incentives, but they still have the opportunity in other areas to be rewarded,â said Cristina Mendoza, renaissance advisor.
Renaissance students also put on a carnival in October that included games, snacks and festivities, including a dunk-tank and pie-throwing booths.
Prior to testing, the school held rallies to encourage kids to do well. Administrators dressed up as Star Wars characters and performed skits as part of the motivational activities.
Brandon Baker, a 14-year-old freshman, said he was glad to hear about the incentive program when he arrived on campus. He received a rewards card for meeting the incentives at the middle school he attended.
âIt was a big surprise,â he said. âI wasnât expecting anything for doing so well on the test.â
Because of changes in state testing next year, Centennial is working on new incentives to motivate and reward students. Paulsen said they may get rewards for performance on the high school exit exam, district assessments, as well as the Early Assessment Program, a test that measures college readiness in math and language arts.
Next year, state standardized tests will only be administered in 11th grade, as well as a life science test for 10th graders.
âWeâre trying to come up with ways to still help student attitudes and give some incentives,â Paulsen said.

LettersNo JokeDear Alibi, I'm appalled at the ignorant insensitivity spewed by Jessica Cassyle Carr in "Is the Journal Drunk? (I Certainly Am.)" [Thin Line, Oct. 30-Nov. 5]. Carr admits in her title she was drunk writing it, which she certainly shouldn't be if she's writing about a topic as serious as DWI. The result is a trashy article. My mother was killed by a drunk driver in 1989 on State Road 44. She was hit head-on by a man with a .14 BAC, almost two times above the legal limit. My then 9-year-old brother, the lone survivor in the crash killing three, suffered broken bones, physical and emotional scars, and spent a month in the hospital. Countless others endure this senseless tragedy from DWI. Carr's wrong perspective lacks maturity and empathy toward this devastating act. Any efforts put forth by this state with one of the worst DWI problems in the nation (ranked No. 2) to reduce the high number of fatalities and injuries is well worth our tax dollars. It is far from an "unusual fascination" with drunk driving. Carr's words are unusually offensive. What New Mexico has is an enormous drunk driving crisis destroying hundreds of lives each year, inflicting pain on innocent victims. DWI is disgusting and plagues our state. Perhaps Carr's misguided view could change with education and some sensitivity from attending a MADD panel. If everyone viewed DWI as the embarrassing, shameful, dangerously selfish act it is, perhaps lives would be saved. I am astounded that anyone could compare criminals who cold-heartedly kill and maim people with their vehicles to "the guy who masturbates at girls on the street, or the burglar who wants to break in and steal all of my booze and pretzels." If a criminal in this DWI-ridden state does affect your life, hopefully all that's taken is your precious booze and pretzels. EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinion expressed in this commentary dealt with public shaming of those convicted of DWI via the publication of their photos in the Journal, not the gravity of DWI-related cases. (JCC) The Last Word?Dear Alibi, [Re: Feature, "The Definitive KiMo Ghost," Oct. 23-29] While the presence of ghosts will probably be argued forever, I would like to comment on one area of the authors' research. Yes, the Saturday-evening performance of A Christmas Carol was a "wonderful performance" as quoted by one of the actors, but that afternoon's matinee was not. The play opened on Friday evening and the doughnuts were removed immediately after that performance at the director's insistence. The Saturday matinee started late because the child actors had forgotten about it and all gone to a movie. Once the afternoon show finally started, it experienced even more problems. Individually, most of those problems have rather ordinary explanations, but for all of them to have occurred within the short span of a single performance was extremely unusual. Immediately after the performance, a member of New Mexico Rep's backstage staff was given some cash by their management expressly for the purpose of buying two cases of doughnuts, which they promptly placed everywhere backstage before the evening show. If their director chooses not to acknowledge some events of that day, I will not second-guess his personal motives. There may or may not be physical evidence of ghosts, and I would certainly be skeptical of any presented to me, but I will just as certainly assert that the KiMo Theatre has its own energy and "spirit." Much the same as the tangible difference in feelings you get when sitting at your favorite table in your favorite restaurant with all your best friends or walking alone down a cold hospital corridor. If the authors of your cover story wish to discount that spirit, I can only mention that on that specific afternoon in '86, I was at the KiMo and they were not. Getting OffCenteredDear Alibi, I have been in Albuquerque for an extended visit and have been delighted to discover some unexpected treasures in the city, including the KiMo Theatre and the shredded beef burritos at Little Anitas! However, the OffCenter Community Arts Project on Park Avenue has really impressed me most. This is genius at work! OffCenter mounts nonjuried shows that change almost monthly and has a shop featuring local artists' work. Most impressive is the space itself, which is an art-making space with diverse materials available to anyone who cares to walk in the door! And on any given day, 30 people do stop in to make a little art. Adults and children alike are welcome to collage, make cards, sew, make prints, use the metalworking bench, paint or go wherever the spirit leads, including taking free guitar lessons on Wednesday and Thursdays! I've never seen anything like it! Specially priced workshops are often offered on Saturdays. Groups such as Girl Scouts and birthday parties are welcome to reserve time for badge work and crafting. OffCenter has as its premise the hope of offering art-making opportunities to low-income members of the community and so has no fee structure in place but rather depends on good karma donations of materials and money. Recently, a box has appeared suggesting a $5 donation per art session, but this is left to the discretion of the visitor. This money goes toward materials and the expenses involved in providing a place to work such as rent, utilities and remuneration for helpful managers. Seniors, college students and kids alike can be found happily engaged here. However, these daily donations aren't enough to keep this wonderful project funded. OffCenter is frankly in need of financial help to stay afloat. The OffCenter Project is a 501(c)3, which makes your contribution tax-deductible. I hope Albuquerqueans will sustain this unique project with a donation and will visit OffCenter to make a little art. It is a treasure worth visiting and supporting. Letters should be sent with the writer's name, address and daytime phone number via e-mail to email@example.com. They can also be faxed to (505) 256-9651. Letters may be edited for length and clarity, and may be published in any medium; we regret that owing to the volume of correspondence we cannot reply to every letter.

Irish Economic Growth, 1945-88
The paper reviews the economic performance of the Republic of Ireland since 1945. Its focus is comparative: Ireland's record is assessed against the evidence in OECD and Penn Mark V datasets for a `convergence club' of European economies, and is found wanting. The comparison confirms that the 1950s were a particularly bleak decade for Ireland but, more surprisingly, Ireland also performed less well than predicted by convergence criteria in both 1960-73 and 1973-88. The paper then assesses a range of explanations for this poor performance.

We're passing on this year's Super Bowl and all the Super Bowls in the future.
American style Football is turning its players and spectators into vegetables. See the way they sign their names. Look at the way their government is acting (staging coups and spreading misery), while fans slobber all over themselves.
The history of the United States has seen the American people lose control of themselves and their government, while they play their games, leaving the world in peril.
Under a perfect sky in Flushing the U.S. Tennis Open got underway today.
One of the stories at this year's Open is the lack of American men, among the top performers, in Grand Slam matches during 2013 & 2014. A Tennis Hall of Fame official we spoke with was forthright, saying the reason may have something to do with the adverse effects of American culture — making people soft (especially mentally), with no work ethic.
Kristina Mladenovic (top right) of France plays Petra Kvitova (recent Wimbledon champion) of the Czech Republic, 8/26. in what could be an interesting match.

Another Saturday has arrived, and with it another free episode of Halo Legends on the Xbox Live Marketplace. For 24 hours only (of course it won't be on the internet afterward!), you can catch an anime'd up Master Chief delivering "The Package" with four "specially selected Spartans."
Today's episode is the first half of a two-parter (concluding on December 12), so be sure to catch it or be left lonely and confused when next week arrives. Or you could always just wait until the whole shebang arrives on Blu-ray this February 9.

This April and May, Big Brothers Big Sisters will be keeping an eye on the Minor League Baseball box scores, hoping to see a lot of doubles hit. Minor League Baseballs' charity campaign, "Winning with Doubles," gives fans an opportunity to show their support for Big Brothers Big Sisters by making donations whenever a double is hit. Fans from across the country can pledge to make a donation of a self-selected amount for every double hit by their favorite Minor League Baseball team during April and May.
As a part of a partnership with FanForward, Minor League Baseball will gather participant's information and will allow donors to track progress. Following each month in the campaign, donors will receive a summary, asking for their tax-deductible donation. While all 160 Minor League Baseball teams will actively promote the initiative, only 120 that play in April and May will participate in the full initiative. However, all clubs will have the option to generate support and encourage donations for Big Brothers Big Sisters.
"Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America is proud to continue our partnership with Minor League Baseball through our 'Winning With Doubles' campaign," Pam Iorio, incoming CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, said. "The generous support of baseball fans across the country will help Big Brothers Big Sisters create more professionally supported mentoring matches between adult volunteers and children who face adversity. Baseball is America's pastime and we know that people are equally enthusiastic about supporting a program proven to help children succeed in school and life."
The campaign will include airtime on the big screens during the game and a big social media push. Encourage friends and family to take part too! Big Brothers Big Sisters supporters are encouraged to play along and participate with the "Winning with Doubles" campaign. When out with your family at the ballgame, cheering on your local team, consider how even a small donation in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters can help positively impact the life of a child.

Festival (Jamaican Hush Puppies)
Done laughing yet? No seriously, I smoked a pork shoulder (aka butt) using a jerk wet rub. Wow, that just doesn't sound any better.
I wanted to serve it with something authentic, I was thinking some kind of flat bread. But reading Steven Raichlen's Planet Barbecue! and a few other sources talked about a sweet dumpling called Festival that is served with the spicy jerk foods to help balance out the heat.
source: Jamaica Travel & Culture
1 1/2 cups flour
3 Tbsp corn meal
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
Sift the flour and add the corn meal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Mix the water and vanilla.
Add small amounts (1-2 Tbsp at a time) of the wet mix to the dry mix, constantly working with your finger tips. When you get to the point where 1/2 cup of water has been added, they said it should look like bread crumbs. Well.....close.
Keep adding water until the mixture becomes a slightly sticky ball of dough. You won't need the full cup. We used about 3/4 cup.
Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
Divide the mixture in 8 even portions and form into sausage like shapes. It helps to have flour covered hands when doing this.
Roll each Festival in a mix of flour and cornmeal.
Deep fry. The recipe said "until golden brown - this should take 1/2 hour". But they were using pan frying. We were using a deep fryer and knew 1/2 hour would give us stones. We found that doing them at 325f for 6 1/2 minutes gave a nice crispy outside and moist, cooked inside.
Raichlen mentioned that jerk pork and festival were served on plain butcher's paper, nothing more, so that is how we served ours.
These were so good NEXT to each other I had to try them together. So I sliced a festival in half and filled it with jerk pork.
The festival are like a hush puppy but just different enough that they aren't the same thing. They aren't as sweet, don't have so much corn flavor, and the hint of vanilla is there. We all liked these.
The pork I did on the other hand was a perfectly cooked pork butt
but it was underwhelming as "jerk". Part of that was that I substituted out the habanero (just didn't have any) but the other traditional jerk flavors (allspice, cinnamon, thyme, etc) were also shy. Next time I'm going to try Raichlen's jerk pork recipe since it is very different from the one I tried in ingredients and processes.
BBQ Techno Geek Warning: Here is the log from the pork butt cook.
I like using logs like this for my longer cooks because it helps me track variables but it also makes me pay attention more during the cook.
So have you ever had festival?
What are the best hush puppies you have ever had?
21 comments:
I love hush puppies. When I was in college, for a short time (good for me it was short), I lived right across the street from a Long John Sliver's... I would walk over there almost every day just for the hush puppies... mmmm!!! The best I ever had though, was at a restaurant in Hawaii....OMG were they good!
I've been wanting to try Steven's jerk pork recipe too...thanks for the reminder!
Oh, yea... your festival looks incredible!! :) YUM!I've never had festival and the vanilla would have made me think twice about this recipe. Great that you tried it - the little sandwich with all the perfectly cooked pork looks crazy good!
I don't believe I've ever met a hushpuppie I didn't love, or at least like - my favorite catfish joint in Texas put a little grated onion in theirs.I've never made hush puppies, although at the moment I have some oil I used the other day, strained, and have in the fridge. No room on the menu today, but maybe soon.
This will sound odd, but I occasionally indulge in Long John Silver's fish filets. The hush puppies they proved are pretty darn good.I think you should slide a few of those festivals my way.....holy cow do they look great with that pork!
P.S. Thanks for the email and video. My husband and I both enjoyed it and have now been using the words ascertain, askew, and catawampus on a regular basis. We love to confuse and irritate the children this way. Gotta pay them back somehow, right?- AnonymousNovember 29, 2010 at 7:17 PM

I too am a new cricut crafter. I haven't used any of the elegant cartridges in the Elegant Category. I don't have anyone to craft with so I love going to your website for new ideas. There are still a lot of things that I don't understand but I keep on trying. I have been experimenting for 6 months, and last night I made my very first card that I acutualy gave to someone. LOL The card itself took me over 2 hours to make. LOL I was so stressed out over trying to make it I lost the fact I was suppose to be having fun.

(We discussed a similar scene on the news a week back.) "While the computer network is growing as the place where people go for news, the revenue simply isn't catching up fast enough. The less obvious part of the world wide web overtaking newspapers as the main source for subject and international news is that much of the seed content--the novel reporting that breaks national and international news and is by and by refactored by legions of bloggers--comes from the reporters and editors working at the stable

i substituted some chicken stock for the clam juice as well. I also did not have spinach and steamed some zucchini instead. Also substitute fresh basil for tarragon. Even with all that, it was excellent. And I used a cooker for the risotto.
loved this dish! All the flavors were great and i dont eat seafood. I have made it twice already. Went over great
Proportion of ingredients and flavors seemed off to me. Not quite as good as I was hoping although ok.
even diluted 50/50 the clam juice was over powering
This was an excellent meal that came together fairly quickly. Perfect way to use salmon on a crisp fall night. The whole family ate it up and wanted more.
A wonderful dinner.
excellent! reduced clam juice (prob did 1.5 cups, used chicken broth for rest). the fennel/tomato, the risotto, the salmon...such a great combo of flavors.
This was a fantastic way to prepare salmon! I used half clam juice and half vegetable broth for the risotto - v. good!!
Made this with steelhead trout, and it was excellent.
This was one of the best dinners I've ever made. I followed others' leads and also used less clam juice and replaced with water and then with wine and water in the final vegetable saute, and it was fine. My boyfriend, who is by far the best cook I know and who is also not a very "hearty" eater, asked for seconds - he's never done that before so I know it was good!

Syrian presidential election: Refugees give their views
22 April 2014 Last updated at 19:11 BST
Syrian refugees in Beirut, Lebanon, have been speaking to the BBC about the plan to hold a Syrian presidential election on 3 June.
One refugee told the BBC's Jim Muir that it would be "very, very hard" to hold elections and described Syria as a "military state".
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has condemned the election plan, saying it could torpedo efforts to broker a deal to end the three-year civil war, which has killed 150,000.

Jim, have you had any trouble with losing oil pressure on a steep incline? I see lots of people tlak about it on Pirate, and I know 95Geo has got funky with his oil pan, but wasn't sure if thats only in like vertical waterfalls or what...

I'm not old, honest...
I've heard that but not experienced it. I find it hard to believe since even with the short pan it holds 6 quarts which is more than any older version SBC. I'll guarantee you that it will hang low and you will run the risk of smashing it on a rock. When I had the long pan in, it was lower than any other part of my frame or drivetrain. Right now, I have an integral skid plate that is flush to my engine pan and my trans pan and it's all scratched up. I've literally been sitting on my skid plate right under my engine.

Same in the Cherokees, it hangs WAY down. Skid plate or short pan.
January 24th, 2011, 07:21 PM | #128 |
Covered in mud...
Here's where mine ended up in my scrambler, with the deep truck pan. Thats the pan behind the oil filter, the big boxy rectangle...
After seeing this, I will be swapping to the shorter style pan and pickup at some point, and probably skid it as well. I know I often hit my spring hangers on rock, and its hanging level with the bottom of them, so thats going to be an issue. I got my motor up as high as possible and the trans is completely up inside the rails. |
January 24th, 2011, 07:33 PM | #129 |
I'm not old, honest...
I also run the short oil filter. Oh, one other thing. There is a different internal baffle between the short and long pan. Maybe some of those guys having problems didn't bother to use the right baffle??

throttle jockey
well, i just took the intake off beckys motor to swap on the new one (motor had a busted intake when she got it) and it isn't very pretty in there. the motor was definatley running when the intake broke and sucked a bunch of pieces in there. you can see right to the valves in a ls motor and can get some of the pieces out, but not sure if there is any that got between the pistons and valves? i think someone has been turning the motor over by hand because all the spark plugs have been out and are still loose. looks like a part of one of the injectors in there and the valves are very rusty. what do you guys think? here are some pics.

If so, I wouldn't run it OR turn it over one more degree without pulling the heads. You have who knows how much work ahead of you R&R the valves and checking them for straightness. Along with whatever was ingested in the engine and what damage that might have caused. Short block can probably stay together for now but I would still pull the brg caps and rod ends to eyeball the bearings. j-kb8ymf |

San Diegans Helping Gulf Oil Cleanup Efforts
Monday, June 7, 2010
Aired 6/8/10
A small group of San Diego County residents are getting jobs cleaning up oil from areas around the Gulf of Mexico. They could be the first of several hundred San Diegans hired for cleanup efforts.
A small group of San Diego County residents are getting jobs cleaning up oil from areas around the Gulf of Mexico. They could be the first of several hundred San Diegans hired for cleanup efforts.
There is no shortage of workers in Gulf states. But there is a need for workers with hazardous materials training. To meet that need Mark Hanson organized a job training program in San Diego.
Hanson organizes job training through local businesses. He said the workers receive full Haz-Mat training, protective training and respirators.
"They start at $12 an hour and after three weeks it can go up to $17 an hour," said Hanson.
Workers also receive food, lodging and daily expenses. Hanson said about 50 trained workers will leave via bus next week to help clean oil from beaches, coastal wetlands and waterways along the Gulf of Mexico.
He said the group will stay in the area for about six weeks. Hanson hopes the project will provide jobs for several hundred San Diegans.
He said workers may also be sent to help Haiti's recovery from last January's earthquake. Potential workers must be 18 years of age or older, in good physical shape and able to travel.
For information on assisting in this gulf coast cleanup project, contact the San Diego Urban League.

This article comes with no useful information on how to get involved in this cleanup project. The group that Mark Hanson is coordinating is given no name, there is no contact information, and the only hint is to "contact the Urban League", with a link to that organization's homepage and not even a clue of how to find out ANYTHING about this project. Some of us are dying for work, here! Can you give even the slightest clue on how to get in touch with these people?
bruffeds | June 7, 2010 at 4:21 p.m. ― 6 years, 9 months ago
12 dollars an hour to help clean up the planet sounds awful good to me since I have been under-employed since March 09. To bad KPBS provides zero info on how to contact Mr. Hanson. Perhaps it is just a way for Mr. Hanson to hype himself and KPBS an oportunity to report some semi good news related to job growth. I'm sure next week we will hear KPBS credit Obama for creating oil clean up jobs for San Diegans.

A Fresh Start
One of the things I enjoy most about ringing in the new year is the fresh beginning it provides. Every year on New Year's Eve day I reflect on my most proud accomplishments, the things I really enjoyed spending my time doing most as well as my goals that never came to be so I can figure out how to make them a reality the next time around. I think it's important to celebrate our successes but also learn from our mistakes so we can plan better for the future. As Oprah and Maya Angelou always say, "When we know better, we do better".
This year has been an interesting one, I've learned more about myself in this past year than I probably have in the last five. It is the first full year I spent alone in our home as my hubby pursued his Master's degree several states away at NYU. With that brought both challenges and triumphs as I realized many areas in which I was stronger than I knew myself to be. It also presented areas that I am weaker in and need to change my mindset on.
This year I also put my design business on hold and found full time work elsewhere to survive the struggling economy while still allowing myself to be creative with a few e-design jobs here and there. It hasn't been easy working for someone else again but when I prayed and asked the Lord 'why this job, why now?' of the many I interviewed with, I felt and heard the word 'discipline'. Apparently I needed discipline after years of working for myself from home. Sometimes in life, things happen not because of what we want, but rather what we need.
While I don't make resolutions, I do always create a fresh set of goals for myself. I've noticed over the past few years that I've created laundry lists of all the things I would love to accomplish and every year I fall short on many. I believe in dreaming big and shooting for the stars but sometimes when we create too many goals, we overwhelm ourselves and then instead get very little accomplished. So, this year I've made 3 key personal goals for myself that I believe are doable, but still enough of a stretch to keep me challenged. ;)
Like every classy woman, I'm constantly trying to improve myself and I've discovered some areas in my life that need the rough edges smoothed so I'll be focusing on those too to become a better me. One of those areas will be working to become a more patient person (with both myself and others, especially hubby). I also need to let Paul rub off on me a little more in the spontaneity department. I love to plan and organize, a natural born type A., however, I'm convinced that lightening up and trying more things that scare me will be key to enjoying life in a greater way. One of my downfalls is procrastination over things I don't enjoy and I want to change that this year. The time I spend thinking about how much I don't enjoy doing a particular task and distracting myself with something more interesting is the time I could have just completed the task in the first place. I'm not going to burden myself by expecting perfection, any progress is a beautiful thing!
What are your goals for the New Year?

STONEHAM, Mass. -- It was a grand night for the Mass. State Hockey Coaches Association (MSHCA). The well-established organization inducted four head coaches into its Hall of Fame, Sunday evening.
Before a capacity crowd inside Montvale Plaza filled with past and present coaches, family and friends, Mike Nanartowich (Hudson), Brian Murphy (St. John's of Shrewsbury), Dan Mark (Stoughton) and John Maguire (Waltham) became the latest members of the fraternity. Combined, the four coaches have spent a total of 112 years behind the bench.
Also inducted was Arlington Catholic long-time assistant coach Jim Hunt. Coach of the Year accolades went to John Devany (St. Joseph's Prep) in the boys' category while Arlington Catholic's Maggie Taverna received the honor as girls' coach. Tim Hooton was given the Brian "Trooper" Sullivan award for officials and UMass-Dartmouth coach John Rolli was awarded the William J. Stewart, Jr. Award for outstanding service and contribution to Massachusetts Secondary Schoolboy hockey.
Included in the festivities, the MSHCA recognized six high school players for their athletic and academic excellence. They included, Luke Amato (Arlington Catholic), Ian Lapham (Reading), Kevin Dober (Newton South), Alex Tepper (Nashoba Regional), Ryan McKennedy (Lowell) and Colin MacDonald (Marshfield).
"All of these student-athlete's academic distinctions are off the charts," said former Lincoln-Sudbury coach and 2010 inductee Dan Doyle.
MSHCA secretary and 2003 inductee Charlie Driscoll, who spent 16 season guiding Medford as well as stints at Archbishop Williams, Malden Catholic, Wakefield and Reading, served as emcee.
Nanartowich, who won a Division 3 state title in 2012, was introduced by former Marlborough coach and 2012 inductee John Butler along with 20-year assistant coach Mike Correa.
"Mike Nanartowich was one who was always prepared for every game he coached," Butler said. "He helped bring a lot of credibility and entusiasm to Central Mass. Hockey. Mike has always been a student of the game and is always looking to learn new things constantly."
Added Correa, "Mike wrote the script on how to run a successful hockey team," he said. "Players at Hudson have succeeded because they had a meaningful relationship with their head coach."
Nanartowich, who was named Mass. State High School Coach of the Year in 2012, expressed humility of the honor bestowed on to him.
"I think the best word that describes what hockey means to me and what Hudson High School means to me is the word blessed. I've been blessed with great players and great assistant coaches. For me, it's not about numbers, it's about the players."
Murphy, who stepped down as Pioneers coach at the end of the 2013 season, having earned seven Super 8 appearances along the way, was introduced by former Shrewsbury coach and Class of 2004 member Phil Irving.
"To be here, it takes a tremendous amount of support from a large number of people over a long period of time," Murphy said. "I had a wonderful experience coaching at St. John's and enjoyed every minute of it. As any coach will admit, you are only as good as your players so I would be remissed if I didn't offer my sincerest thanks to all of my players over the years."
Former Bridgewater State coach Bob Carpenter spoke on behalf of Mark, who served as a team captain under Carpenter his senior year there.
Mark offered a special thank you to former Stoughton coach Jim Gormley, who coached Mark for four seasons at the varsity level and later brought him on as an assistant coach.
"Probably the biggest influence of my life is Jim Gormley," said Mark. "I cannot thank him enough for everything he taught me. I really want to thank MSHCA for inducting me. When I look at the number of people inducted into this Hall of Fame it's pretty over-whelming and now my name will be there with theirs and is greatly-appreciated."
Doyle introduced Maguire and began saying, "Coach Maguire's moral compass is always in order yet he is his own man. His teams have always achieved above the level of their talents because John coaches them the right way."
Maguire, who is closing in on 350 victories with the Hawks and took home a Division 1 state title in 2002, had nearly half of the banquet hall filled with family and friends in recognition of his honor.
"In my first three years the Hawks were 3-15 three years in a row and I remember our mailbox being run over by a disgruntled player," laughed Maguire. "I am certainly humbled by this introduction."
The event ended with the news that Marshfield coach Dan Connolly will be stepping down as MSHCA president this year.
"It has been extremely humbling being president of this organization," Connolly said. "As coaches, we don't coach for the money, but for the love of the game and the kids."

Washington, D.C. — April 25, 2012 — The Catholic Mobilizing Network to End the Use of the Death Penalty hails Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy's decision to sign legislation repealing the death penalty today, making Connecticut the fifth state to end the death penalty in five years. CMN also acknowledges with gratitude the hard work of the members of the state's legislature who fought for this bill and ensured its passage last week. In particular, CMN recognizes the courage and convictions of several Catholic members of the legislature who spoke in favor of, and voted for, repeal, citing their Catholic faith as a key motivation.
The repeal comes on the heels of the 25th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision, McCleskey v Kemp, in which the court upheld the constitutionality of racial disparities in the death penalty, thereby placing a substantial barrier to eliminating racial inequities in the criminal justice system overall. Also last week, the prestigious National Research Council of the National Academies released a report saying that studies claiming the death penalty deters crime are fundamentally flawed.
The Connecticut repeal effort was fueled by support from both members of law enforcement and family members of murder victims. More than 180 family members called upon the Connecticut legislature to repeal the death penalty, and dozens appeared at press conferences, called and visited lawmakers, appeared in the media, and attended the votes in the General Assembly. Current and former police chiefs told the General Assembly that the death penalty does not help them keep the public safe.
Connecticut will join Illinois, New Mexico, New Jersey and New York to become the fifth state in five years to repeal the death penalty. Montana, Colorado, Kansas and Maryland have also considered repeal in recent years, and more than 800,000 California voters have signed to put the issue on that state's ballot in November. CMN continues to work with Catholic parishes, communities and groups in these states and throughout the nation in support of efforts to end the use of the death penalty in the United States, in accordance with Catholic teaching about the dignity of life and the human person. Those interested in learning more about Catholic teaching with regard to the death penalty can view a two-page reference sheet prepared by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and CMN here.

So, is this emblematic of the Post-Madoka Magical Girl trend? I don't think anyone would try a remotely serious (ie: non Paradoic) magical girl after what Madoka did, unless it slid towards the more cynical side of just what adolescence with Superpowers may well do.

i started reading out of curiosity, when i got to the point of the bullying i thougth this is not a normal mahou shojo, and then the title reminded me of yakuza of the end, that is the zombies spin off, and to my surprise that wild thought was actually somewhat accurate, but damn, so far, this is probably the survival mangas with the most hopeless setting, though it kinda seems the power of the magical girls come for the weapons, so maybe people can use the to defen themselves?

these kind of stories usually rely a lot on the suspense the lack of a clear setting, so its kinda normal to have a plot thats underexplained spceially with only 3 chapters, i enjoy the manga since i dig these kind of stories, but i wouldnt say it has shown anything that would differentiate it from the rest, but i agree that im quite intriged about their past, at least to give me a reason to hate less the protagonist for ignoring such a cute and pure girl.

I watch you come and go
I know you can hear my voice
Don't walk away
Come daydream with me
In closed loops and future-proof cardboard to caviar.
Let's show them how good we are.
If you look after me, I'll look after you.
Sonar, night vision or desperate lovers
Seeking privacy for their forbidden...
I am their defenseless host.
Through my open wounds they let themselves in.
Sheltered (sheltered), they mock me (they mock me).
If you stand up for me, I'll stand up for you.
I'm weather-beaten in a losing battle punctured by nature, becoming organic
The air in here ages me, ungracefully!
But if you take care of me, I'll take care of you.
Oh, my crumbling heart!
If you'll be good to me,
I'll be good to you.
I'm amidst:
I could be the best decision you ever made, a beacon, your peaceful
Find me, cherish me, take me on or pull me down. You choose.
Oh, save me the ache of slow decay!
Cause I will remember you - will you remember me?
Bespoke to broken, this interwoven tapestry of tragedy,
Crooked frames and cracked glazing
Slithers of wistful window gazes glint in borrowed light.
Where doorways with no door stage a ballet of leaves,
Who pirouette in the footsteps of once glorious days...
By peeling paint, I'm a sunken ceiling,
I'm cracking up, and can seem threatening.
I'm falling apart.
I'm scary at night.
Take dark, forbidden: keep out, keep out! No, no, no go forth.
A has-been, a once was, the leftovers, an eyesore, bleeding, oxidising,
A few remaining, unloved, emotionally damaged, a waste of space,
A nuisance, I haven't had time to become, unwanted!
What's gone? I'm losing it
This is not what I stand for
This is not what I stand for
This is not what I stand for
It was a perfectly good grand piano.
Stop in the name of love! I've got just what you're looking for!
I've got tree-lined interiors, where we can dine with the biosphere.
If you'll take care of me, I'll take care of you.
If you be good to me, then I'll be good to you.
Oh... I'm a story in mourning, and you're the author
So pour out your masterpiece.
Entropy increasing, how long before I'm dust?
Can we discuss?

Does that sound amazing? It was.
When you meet someone who genuinely loves and understands children, you know it, and your children know it. My girls LOVED the monks, and the monks seemed to love them, too. Sydney was not at all taken aback the first time that a monk scooped her up into his arms--she understands that being the center of one's attention is her rightful place in this world. Nobody attempted to scoop up Willow, who's a little more of a handful, but the monks, not many of whom could share many words in conversation with her, seemed to appreciate how seriously she took each of the projects that they all did together.
They made little prayer flags together:
Sydney ended up wearing hers, and this was acceptable:
The sand art was a huge hit. This one monk in particular took Willow aside and spent the longest time focusing with her on the technique involved in the practice, and my usually VERY prickly around strangers little girl just soaked it all in contentedly:
My most favorite part of this day, however, is checking back in with Willow several minutes later and finding her, lesson concluded, studiously drawing away with her sand tools and her instructor, like any proud mamma, snapping photo after photo:
Sydney also got the hang of sand art:
The girls also got to try "butter sculpture" with the monks, although thankfully they used play dough instead of butter.
Guess who made these?
Not us! Although the monk who created the horse, above, did give his creation to Willow at the end of the day. She was THRILLED. Of course, I like the horse that she created even more:
After the exciting morning, there was a break for lunch, after which the monks intended to do some chanting and dancing and other performances for us. I contemplated leaving at lunch, because chanting and ceremonial dance can sometimes be a little, um...slow.
Ultimately, I opted to stay, which was a VERY smart choice, because among the performances that the monks wanted to show us was something called The Snow Lion Dance. First, a monk enchanted the children with a description of the mythical snow lion. Then, from out of another room and into the performance space, danced--

Some venues just attract the best up-and-coming artists. Variety Playhouse is such a place. Most of its performers are so amazing that their shows here will likely to be their last performance outside of a large arena. Maybe you are the only one at the water fountain the next morning to have heard of them, but it won't be long until everyone is rocking to their tunes on their own iPods.

In 2003, a last herd of sheep made its way through Montana's Absaroka-Beartooth mountains, taking over three months and covering some 150 miles. That journey is documented in Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor's superb documentary, premiering on PBS on 5 July. For long stretches, the film observes sheep in motion—trekking along dirt roads, up and down mountainsides, through densely green forest trails or snowy fields. As a parable, the story of sheep seems unsubtle: they are herded, they are unthinking, they go along. As poetry, the film is stunning. With no narration and remarkably little conversation among the herders, it reveals the loneliness and day-to-day difficulty of living among sheep, as human labor and desire are reflected by their surroundings—their bleating charges and also the land they all traverse. "I'd rather enjoy these mountains than hate 'em," says one man. You need faith, persistence, and extraordinary patience to herd sheep, whether the job is handed down in families (as it is so often), a refuge or an adventure. The herders spend most of their days apart, that is, on opposite sides of their herd, atop their horses, directing dogs and smiling occasionally at each other. The film is neither nostalgic nor romantic, but instead shows how this hard life has effects, good and bad, that it presses workers to their own edges and also helps them to discover themselves as well as the world around them.

That's a great way to deal with it.
holy crap, i never realized how cute nancy wilson was in her youth.
Haha, awesome!
Slight clarification - the Republican Party didn't obtain a license just for "Barracuda." They paid ASCAP a blanket fee that covers ALL songs in the ASCAP repertory, and "Barracuda" is one of them...so they're pretty much covered for any rally that they might want to hold, wherever they are held. The law's on the Republicans' side. And I am on acb's side regarding Nancy Wilson. Hotty McHotsterpants.
McCain/Palin obtained the correct license to use the song "Barracuda," all legally and above-board. I personally disagree with Nancy Wilson's original comment, that Governor Palin does not speak for American women - becuse I feel she very much speaks for me, a WORKING mom, juggling career, home, husband, children, church, school, sports, and everything that goes along with it - without losing her deep and abiding dedication to her faith. Go Barracuda!!
I didn't know flagrant abuses of power, censorship, aerial hunting, believing global warming is a farce, lying during speeches ("Bridge to Nowhere!!"), supporting a non-binding referendum that denies same-sex couples health benefits, and dismissing the importance of sex education when your 16 yr. old is pregnant are characteristics representative of being an American Woman. Now I know.
How can YOU disagree with Nancy Wilson's comment? Are you Nancy Wilson? She said SHE feels completely f**ked over, are you saying she doesn't? Are you saying she doesn't have the right to state her opinion that SHE doesn't feel Palin represents women in America?
I didn't even write this song, but I happen to love Heart and I love this song, and I feel insulted they're using it without the blessing of the artist, regardless of the licenses. Now if McCain starts using "Magic Man" when he's introduced on the campaign trail, I'll be in serious danger of losing my lunch.
When an artist affiliates with a PRO they give up the right to be choosy about who performs their songs ... personally I could care less if Nancy Wilson is a republican or democrat but the fact that she is basically saying that her music is good for some people and not for others, promoting inequality .... if she wanted to censor the use of her music then she should not have affiliated with a PRO at all (of course then she would miss out on all those royalty payments) ... can't have it both ways Nancy .... the way that they are handling this issue is not about the song, it's another way for them to feel like they are "sticking it" to the republicans ... quite childish if you ask me ....
Oh come on nycgirl, you're just being silly. No one's telling anyone they can't listen to whatever they want.
What the Wilsons are saying is that they don't want their legacy permanently entwined with Ms. Palin's. Heart was busy breaking glass ceilings when Sarah was still in beauty contests, this song in particular was their big break through into a genre traditionally dominated by guys. I applaud them for trying to maintain the slightest bit of control over their creation.
And I am confused by the assured declaration that they have no rights over who uses the song. I understand that playing a song in a stadium is one thing but using it as a theme, essentially as an advertisement for a product, seems like it would raise other legal issues. I'm pretty sure that some owner of the song would have to sign on if the song were to be used to promote a car, so why not an ideology?
of course to use a song in a commercial that is a different story, there are different licenses needed for that, hence further permission is need. That is not the case here .... for the public performance of their music then no, they can't pick and choose who uses their song ... the license obtained from the PROs for this particular use is a blanket license, for any song in their respective catalogs ....
and yes, maybe their legacy is now tainted, but not by Sarah Palin using the song, much more to the inappropriate and obnoxious way that they handled the situation. It's time for Heart to grow up.
I'm guessing your Palin fan, you have a similar way of not addressing a question.
Unlike you, I can only speak for myself. When I watched Ms. Palin's screed at the RNC and heard one of my favorite songs from childhood used as her theme song I had a moment of real disappointment: something that always mademe smile and held a great deal of personal significance had been assigned a new, sour, angry association.
And again, Heart was really breaking ground in a male dominated world, this song has earned a familiarity and carved a niche in our culture that the Republicans tried to use place their product.
I was grateful when The Wilson's spoke out, trying to reclaim their legacy from what McCain once called an
Can someone explain to me "when an artist affiliates with a PRO"? What does that even mean? There are some people around here who have a really strange understanding of INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
I'm a life long fan of Heart, listened to it in High School, saw Heart with every tour when it wasn't really cool to be into a
I'm a life long fan of Heart, listened to it in High School, saw Heart with every tour when it wasn't really cool to be into a "Girl" Rock band. Music often flows best from Rebellious instincts and adolescent idealism but the wilson sisters should have grown out of infantile behavior long ago.
Anne, Nancy, still love ya but grow the heck up!
Seriously, I'm still waiting for an explanation to my earlier question, but this raises new ones... WHAT is infantile about claiming ownership to intellectual property? Whether it's legal ownership or moral ownership? If that crazy, lying woman is laying claim to THEIR song as her theme song, that goes above and beyond the blanket license they've purchased from ASCAP. That, it could be argued successfully in a court of law, is marketing a brand, and goes WAY beyond the ASCAP general license.
PRO = Performance Rights Organization
is that what you wanted to know?
Sorta kinda... but it was more of a rhetorical question. I'm really just puzzled as to why people think this is OK, and that the band doesn't have a right to protest. Since when was having an opinion verboten in this country, especially if something directly affects you? Seems obvious to me that this kind of use of a song goes well beyond the idea of public performance that ASCAP/BMI collect for. How many millions of impressions was that? I mean playing a song as intro music for the Vice Presidential candidate at the Republican National Convention is not like playing a song on a jukebox at a bar.
Sorry, this woman just makes me see purple spots when I read about the corruption and deception and high school cronyism (literally, not figuratively) of her short history as Governor of Alaska. I'm not always this vitriolic.
