Oy Sandy, Enough Already...!
CommentIt's pretty clear that Red Hook won't be the same for quite a while. Every day we are saddened by a neighbor's devastating story and learn of more and more losses due to Sandy. There are a few things people can do to help us recover quicker; one is shop locally, and by local I mean in Red Hook. Another is donate to the Restore Red Hook fund that will benefit the most damaged businesses in the neighborhood. We will be forever grateful for your patronage and support - especially as we close in on the holidays.
Here are a list of business that are up and running this week (besides us!):
Papillionaire Bicycles, Metal and Thread, Tiburon, Erie Basin, Waterfront Kitchens
And if you get hungry after all your shopping: Baked, Hope and Anchor , Dry Dock
And lastly, our sentiments exactly…
Williams-Sonoma Artisan Marketplace
CommentWe've been very lucky, as of late, to be part of many different markets and fairs. It's so great being part of these gatherings as we get to meet many fellow talented artisans and get our brand out . We are looking forward to this upcoming Saturday - we get to be a part of Williams-Sonoma Artisan Marketplace. Please come to Columbus Circle's Williams-Sonoma and visit us this Saturday, November 3rd…we'll be featured with our new aprons (for kids and adults!), tea towels, napkins and boxed stationery!
Hurricane Sandy
CommentJust wanted to report that we are here at Foxy & Winston are safe and sound. We have no power, and cannot anticipate when it will be back, so please be patient with us as we get situated. The shop and studio were very fortunate to escape relatively unscathed.
The same cannot be said for some of our neighbors and our hearts and thoughts go out to them. Red Hook is a very small and close community and when one of neighbors is down, we all are. Please send all your best wishes to those in Red Hook who were badly affected by this storm.
In the mean time, here is Jane escaping with Hope on Monday morning!
Martha Stewart's Living
CommentAnother fun feather in our cap…Jane has printed some lovely linens for Martha Stewart's newest edition of Living. The spread also features some DE-lish recipes that will sure to inspire your Thanksgiving table. Check it out!
Gilded Edges...
CommentMe oh my, aren't these lovely? We are so excited about this suite (for many reasons!). Here are a few:
- it's in Spanish and our first invitation in another language. And it's Royalty sized! And there is gold ink!
- there are painted edges!
- it has a custom postage stamp with matching lined envelopes!
We love it, but we'll let you be the judge…;)

as an example...not playing in this years superbowl..brady,either manning,rothlisberger,rivers,brees,schaab,rodgers, dalton,ryan,...who is playing..a guy who became a starter in week 11 of this year, and a guy who most said couldnt get his team to a superbowl. Fact is its usually the team that gets the qb to the superbowl. Most people would say fouts was a better qb than plunkett....plunkett won 2 superbowls...
I agree with your premise. Plunkett won the Heisman Trophy, was the AFC Rookie of the year and won the Super Bowl MVP. He played on some terrible Patriot teams, and took a beating, had he played for a coach like Coryell with the deep ball he could throw, he very well may have put up video game stats as Fouts did. People forget how good Plunkett really was. I do know this, he could make big throws when it counted the most.

not angry ...smart ! heres why i dont like that smith crap..........Current Raiders QB Carson Palmer made this list for a second time by turning in the 4th-best regular season passing performance in franchise history.Since joining the Raiders mid-way through the 2011 season, QB Carson Palmer has recorded two 400-yard passing games, the 3rd and 4th best single-game passing performances in Raiders history. that's the truth.. along with over 4000 yards, with a chitty OC, and oline protection makes everyone stupid, that would trade the teacher, of Terrel Pryor ...the defense rest your honor lol

To throw everyone on here a curve, here's a stat for you "stat guys". Did you know that one out of every two people in the world, makes up 50% of the population? I know, I know....
..............oh brother.....LOL....j/k with youse guys....
I understand where you're coming from...thhe thing is flacco has been on a complete team, ever since he went to baltimore. They were actually a good team before he was drafted. The bengals were only a good team for a year or two while palmer was there, and that was only because of palmer, once he got that bad knee injury vs pitt..bengals were never the same.
The Bengals have not been the same since Palmer, they made the playoffs both seasons after he left the team. Dalton the 2nd year player has more playoff starts than Palmer has in 11 seasons this isn`t by accident Dave, the Bengals suddenly didn`t have a great team therefore the excuse is unacceptable and hereby dismissed.
What`s most ironic is the Bengals lived with the same excuses as Oakland, it wore them out and now the Bengals are better off.
The Bengals have yet to win a playoff game. I am not sure you can criticize Carson's career completely. He has led the league in TD passes. He also has been a Pro Bowl MVP. He has also had the misfortune of playing on some very bad Raider and Bengal's teams. He played very will the season he led the Bengals to an 11-5 record and also had the misfortune of getting his knee shredded in his first playoff game. I don't think you can fairly say he has been a loser without acknowledging what he has been through and what he has done. This will make for some good off season conversation.
Prox u little rascal, I was hoping the lastest response would slip past you lol. I need your explanation for the following: Pryor who`s never played 1 entire football game, takes the field with the same terrible football players, schemes and executes 2 drives longer than 5 minutes in 1 game. Palmer executed 2 drives of 5 minutes or longer in 15 games, I don`t believe there`s an excuse on the planet that would be acceptable. He hasn`t won more than 4 games in a season since 2009, he led the Raiders to 3 points in the 1st quarter in 15 games.
Most of the yardage achieved is long after the game has been decided, I`m attempting to be very optimistic however the evidence I`m confronted with isn`t good stuff. Palmer has 100 million banked and his football heart has long been removed from his body, that`s my 2 cents.
His last game generated 5 field goals at home vs. the Chiefs, I`m not very pleased Proxy lol.

The dancing was really great but the sets were rather amateurish. Also it felt very mechanical and didn't have much heart in it. But I still enjoyed the dancing.

Writers, naturalists, birders, journal keepers, teachers and students are invited to learn how to turn observation into word at "Earth's Eye: A Festival of Writing in and on the Natural World," a day-long event to be held at Presque Isle State Park and Penn State Erie, The Behrend College.
Scott Russell Sanders, author of "A Conservationist Manifesto," will be the featured speaker and teacher at the "Earth's Eye" writing festival.
Earth's Eye participants will spend the morning of Saturday, Sept. 8, exploring the landscapes of Presque Isle State Park to gather inspiration from the park's plant and animal life. After a picnic lunch, they will return to Penn State Behrend to sharpen their writing techniques under the tutelage of professional writers and faculty members from Penn State Behrend's B.F.A. program in creative writing.
Award-winning nature writer Scott Russell Sanders will be among the writers offering assistance and advice at Earth's Eye. Sanders is the author of 20 books; among his honors are the Lannan Literary Award, the John Burroughs Essay Award, the Mark Twain Award, the Cecil Woods Award for Nonfiction, the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Earlier this year he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
"The goal is to help participants discover how to use a moment of observation to tell a better story," says Penn State Behrend assistant professor Kim Todd, whose biography of 17th century naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian was named a "Book to Remember" by the New York Public Library. "Anyone can do this. You don't need a goal, just an interest. I especially encourage attendance by beginning writers, or writers who feel self-conscious about their work, because we won't follow a traditional writing-workshop model. Earth's Eye is intended to be a supportive, not critical, environment for the budding nature writer, pun intended."
The cost to attend Earth's Eye is $36 and includes transportation from campus to Presque Isle, lunch and dinner. For more information or to register, visit the Earth's Eye web site or phone 814-898-6443.

Tree Swarm Removal Visalia Ca
April 15, 2008, 04:36:52 AM »
Hey all I removed a swarm about 20ft up in a tree in Visalia tonight. There size was about a honey due melon. Only got 3 pictures one is blurry sorry. I did not have my hubby with me to take pictures for me but I got one of the cluster and one of the box taped up with the little flaps open. U had to go up the ladder with the box the first time and shook most of the large cluster in the box and the branch broke. So took it down the ladder and shook al of them off. Oh ya I sprayed them with syrup. They all stayed in the box and a few were fanning but could not really see the queen. took the cardboard nuc up the ladder to where they were clustering on the limb next to where the larger cluster was sprayed them first then shak shake. Went down the ladder added those guys to the cardboard box and went back up to retirve the last bit clustering on a small branch I just snapped that one off and went down and shook them into he box. There was not allot flying at that time. it was 6 30pm and the wind had really picked up and the temp was dropping. while I was loading the car I left the box sitting on the ground with only the little flaps open. There were bees on the outside with there little butts in the air saying come here come here. So I know the queen was there. They had been there since friday according to the owner. And they had started trying to build a little comb on the leaves and branch. So they were getting close to being out of stores. It would have been an outside hive like one of the ones Jp has showed us. Weard that they would have chosen that. They would have most likely been blown out of the tree tonight though it is very very windy it blew over my huge orange tree in a 5 gal planter which was watered and very heavy. Got home just before sunset and put them in a med super with new wax foundation. gave them a top feeder and closed them up as the wind and was getting cold. Tomorrow if it is not to windy I will give them a frame of honey and pollen from the feral hive I cutout a little over a month ago and desperatly needs splitting as they have filled up 3 mediums with brood and syrup and pollen they are doing very very very well. I will also give them a frame of brood from that hive as it should not hurt them since they need to be split. Should it be open or capped and should I keep the nurse bees on that frame. I think what I remember says to keep them on it. I will spray them with some syrup and honey b healthy so to mask the oder of the other queen. Anyway they are home here is the pictures.
Now I have no more room to expand. Need to buy more equipment. Oh ya almost forgot. We were talking and I told the guy I do not charge for swarms and he said well can I offer you a little for coming out. As I stayed home all day calling people and they would either not call me back or wanted the lowest he could find was 500.00 way up to 1500.00 even for just shaking bees out of a tree limb in a res area. So he gave me 60.00. I just about freaked out when I herd the prices that beek wanted in this area which is outrageous. And to me says that they really do not want to be bothered with it and if they do find someone willing to pay that huge price then they will do it. I did drive to another county which was about 45min away but I told the guy I do it for the Free Bees. As they would have cost me to buy about 50.00 and up.

Great job Angi!! Gas prices are through the roof, I paid $3.95g yesterday evening. I have been charging a small fee for swarms, its time and gas. Others are charging $125-$150.00 for a swarm. I can't bring myself to charge even half that for a swarm, cause like you said, you get to keep the bees. You go girl!

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called the government. They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

Great job Angie. Keep it going. I have no problem charging for removal of swarms especially when I might have to travel 80 to 150 miles if called. I'm one of those people that charges $150 for those. Bees within 20 miles I mostly remove for free but I never turn down gas money especially driving a F-150.
Go get some more Angie!

I have my first match tomorrow, and I wanted to know what some of you veterans do before a match to keep your nerves down and prepare for a match.
Web Crawler there is a similar post that had some tips for you. Here are the two main things I do. I exercise with a light jog or stationary bike to warm up. I visiulaize my shots. I rehearse in my mind the shots I want to make and my opponents possible responses. In my mind, I say to myself HIT BOUNCE HIT, this really helps with my timing. I pretend the opponent hit a variety of balls and spins and say this HIT BOUNCE HIT as I mediate on this. In the match I use the same HIT BOUNCE HIT. I clear my mind of distractions and at times I will turn on some Van Halen to get myself pumped up. Those are my main match preparation staples. I am sure others can provide more.
Depending on how much time you have before your match here are some suggestions: 1)warm your body up (lifecycle,jumping jacks,jogging,rope) to produce a light sweat on your face and stretch for a good 15-20 minutes. 2)while you are stretching this is a great time to think about what style you want to play and go over your strategy,tactics,and patterns you wish to implement to win points. Don't get too technical with your strokes but also briefly review each stroke and visualize how you will hit them. The main focus should be on your strategy and game plan to win the match. 3)If time allows(make the time if possible) warm up your strokes hitting all your shots,including the serve, and play a few points. Warming up your shots is critical to find your timing for the day of the match and to build confidence so you will get off to a good start. If you can't find someone to hit with grab a bucket of balls and warm your serve up and hit your various strokes by simply dropping the ball in front and hit them. I find getting the timing of my serve down for that day is critical to start my match off confidently. If I have a good solid first serve game, this usually will carry out throughout the entire match-I made it happen by taking the time beforehand to warm it up. 4)As the match progresses to alleviate nerves and aid your play, monitor your breathing between points and while you are hitting the ball. When your nervous, your heart starts to rapidly beat and your breathing becomes shallow-at this time take your time and take several big deep breathes as you walk back towards the back fence-this will relax you and slow your heart rate down. Expect this to happen and when it does take control with several big, slow,deep breaths. Also, try to breath out everytime you hit the ball and this will alleviate any tension and allow you to take a nice full swing with maximum extension. 5)Eat a balance meal 2-4 hours before the match and be sure to take both water and gatorade with you. If you play a tough 3 set match you don't want your glycogen stores to be depleted. Good luck!
If I told you that you were going to have a bench press contest with a baby pig, which someone painted blue, and strapped a rubber birds beak to the snout. Would you be intimidated? Now, go get that pig tomorrow! Bring home the bacon.
Thanks everyone for the insight but Bill I have to say a Big Thank You to you. I was playing a exhibition match between another local highschool, and this was a match that came down to the wire. We were only playing One set and it came down to a tie break. I believe the score was 6-4 me and it was his serve. He had me rattled abit after he hit my forehand that I thought he wouldn't be able to get back at me. I took your advice of visualizing my shots and realized that he is playing deep, as most of my forehands have topspin and end up deep in the court. It was his serve and immediately I saw that he was staying behind the baseline so I hit a soft forehand just so it would go over and just like I pictured he was too deep to get to it. I have now jumped from the 6th sport to the 5th spot thanks to your help. And thanks again to everyone for the help.
I must say - allright! Good going! Very happy about your results. Now you can use what pros use to help themselves.
Had my first High School Match today and even though I lost 6-2 and 6-1 the others team coach said I was phenomenal for only have been playing 3 weeks. I have a question though. The Big reason why I lost this match was because of my opponents technique. All of his shots were backspin. I mean everyone of them forehand, backhand, serve, ect. The ones where he did hit it either flat or topspin I got those easy. But I haven't seen anyone play like this before and I was wondering how do you counter this. Our team lost the match because every player except their Number 1 guy used Backspin through out the whole match and we never played like this.
Here is what I do with someone with backspin. This is going to be more effective in high school then it would as you move up the ladder in your rating and play better and better players. But my strategy is always the same just may require a little more patience playing against someone with a good slice. The slicer has a tendency to either float long or leave the ball short in the court. I play a friend of mine with an excellent slice - I mean an excellent slice. However, he has a tendency to hit it short. I am always ready to move in to take that ball as an approach shot. The approach shot is sliced right back to his backhand as he will probably slice again and the ball will be coming up. A volleyers dream. When he realizes that his slice is being handled and it is know longer a weapon. I pump my fist up and shout, COME ON!!!!! Just kidding! Also, I will serve 90% of my serves to his backhand slice. It provides me with a lot of time to get in and volley the ball. The shot you hit in a rally especially since your learning fundamentals, is to return a slice with a slice. YOu can also learn about Wardlaws Directionals so you know hoa to play the percentage shot. Also, the slice shot is a feel shot, so be sure to mix up your speeds, spins, hieghts and depths of your shots. You might find he has a great slice at waist level but leaves the ball short if he has to hit the ball shoulder high and above.
As I said in a similar thread a couple years ago, there's no pre-match preparation that beats taking a good dump. After that, I am STOKED to play.
Thanks once again Bill, we will play them again in 3 weeks so I should have plenty of time to practice the slice and moving in so I can get the easy volleys.
LOL, When we go to the tracks at Del Mar, I alway bet on the horse that takes a dump before the race starts.

want to do the organizing class at 1:00. How do I get to it... AND I tried to go to live chat and I can open it... I work on Mac with safari - tried fire fox too but javascript problems. Any ideas?

I have no problem opening chat with safari on mac. Java can be disabled if that is a problem under safari preferences. Maybe you just need to allow popups on this chat window?

I ran into that same issue. I had already installed the upgrade for Java and it didn't help, so I went back in and deleted all of my Java files and re-installed it and it worked great! I use a Mac with Safari too!

In this era when second-guessing is second nature to us all and criticizing Hall of Fame selections has become another national past-time, it might be major news that the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee got right in 2013.
Scott Niedermayer and Chris Chelios, two defensemen with vastly different playing styles, should have been ushered into the Hall in their first year of eligibility and they were. Brendan Shanahan should have been in last year, and that was corrected.
The late Fred Shero's absence from the Hall of Fame long has been listed as one of the Hall's biggest mistakes. The selection committee also fixed that problem.
It was surprising that Chelios was home alone when he was told he had been elected because he always rode with a posse in his playing days.
Chelios is in the Hall of Fame because he was one of the best ever to play at that position. He was skilled, durable, cunning and ruthless. This is a man who was still playing at age 48. His workouts sometimes included riding an exercise bike in the sauna.
Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill, who worked for the Detroit Red Wings for many years, told me once about coming to Joe Louis Arena one morning when the team was on the road and finding Chelios on the ice several days after knee surgery.
MORE: 5 join the Hall this year
There was not a soul around, no one to see the effort he was putting in. That's who Chelios was as an athlete.
Despite his prowess as a player, what players remember most about Chelios is what an popular teammate he was. He was always the team's social director, always looked after the younger players and veterans. His personality brought teams together.
He is still considered the original Godfather of the American program. When the American teams gathered for international competition, everyone gravitated to Chelios. No one wore the U.S. sweater prouder.
When NHL players would gather would for Olympic orientation camps, they would start out filling out paperwork. And there would be nods and polite banter each time a new NHLer would show up. But when Chelios entered the room with his friends, it was like the party officially started. Several prominent players, Mike Modano, Keith Tkachuk, Jeremy Roenick and others, rose out of their seats to greet him We can imagine that reaction was similar to what you would have seen when Frank Sinatra walked into into a Las Vegas club in the 1960s.
On the ice, Chelios played the game like he was re-enacting a scene from Braveheart. When you look at his statistics, you have to look at goals, assists and stitches.
Niedermayer, by contrast, played the game with artistry and flair. One of the more magnificent skaters in NHL history, he had the ability to turn the game with an end-to-end rush.
One of the more fascinating aspect of Niedermayer's speed was that he never appeared to be going as fast as he really was. Paul Coffey always looked like he was going 100 mph, while Niedermayer always looked like he was going 60 mph when he was really going 100 mph. Opponents were all keenly aware of Niedermayer's skating ability, and yet it always seemed as if he was catching them off guard.
Chelios was often mouthy in his career, not afraid to rock the boat. His mouth got him into trouble more than once. His bad boy image was part of his charm.
By contrast, Niedermayer seemed like the choir boy. He always stayed classy, always said the right things. He was soft-spoken. It was like he was born to play for the buttoned-up Lou Lamoriello in New Jersey.
Shanahan deserved to get into the Hall of Fame in his first crack last season. No one is quite sure why that didn't happen. When you count both his regular-season and playoff goals, he has more than 700.
When he came into the NHL in late 1980s, Shanahan helped define the modern power forward. The league had always had power forwards, but in that era, the NHL began to celebrate the value of the rugged forward who could score, hit and fight.
Red Wings forward Darren McCarty said recently that Shanahan's arrival in Detroit was one of the most important factors in the Red Wings winning back-to-back titles in 1997 and 1998.
McCarty said Shanahan taught Martin Lapointe and him how to be smart of using their physical play and schooled them how to be better goal scorers.
Shanahan had 17 Gordie Howe hat tricks (goal, assist, fight) in his career, 15 more than Gordie actually had. Shanahan played nine seasons in Detroit, and scored 46 goals in his first season in a Red Wings jersey and 40 in his last. That's consistency.
The selection committee's decision to admit Shero was long overdue. We never will know for sure why each selection committee through the years ignored Shero.
We can guess that the Broad Street Bullies' fighting ways offended people, and voters couldn't separate coach Shero from the mayhem of that era.
But the truth is that the eccentric, innovative Shero was ahead of his time in the way he viewed the game. He is credited with starting the trend of coaches having assistants. Shero was fascinated with Europeans long before it was fashionable in the NHL.
Former NHL coach Lou Vairo tells a funny story of running into Shero at a coaching clinic in Moscow in the 1970s and the two of them standing in a long line to secure their morning coffee from a street vendor.
When they got to the front of the line more than an hour later, they discovered the woman was selling root vegetables, not coffee.
But Vairo said it's one the best hours he ever spent because he got to talk hockey with Shero.
Hockey was a conformist sport in those days, and Shero thought outside the box. It was his way to be different. This year, it was the selection committee that was different. It finally give Shero the acclaim he deserved.
Here's hoping the group feels the same way next next year. It can fix another wrong by putting the late Pat Burns into the Hall of Fame.

Devils chase Wolf Pack for third
An overtime loss on home ice Saturday night may have cost the North Delta Devils a third-place finish in the Tom Shaw Conference of the Pacific Junior Hockey League.
A 4-3 loss to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack dropped the Devils three points back of the winners, with each club having two games to play.
North Vancouver was the dominant team throughout Saturday's game, outshooting North Delta in all three periods as well as overtime, finishing with a 38-21 advantage.
Cloverdale native Braden Krogfoss made 18 saves in the Wolf Pack goal for the win, while Bryson McKinnon made his first start of the season in the North Delta goal, making 34 saves.
The Wolf Pack went up 1-0 eight minutes into the game. Joshua Smith replied for North Delta three minutes later, leaving the teams tied 1-1 after the first period.
Colin Catchpole scored on a penalty shot to give the Devil's a lead in the second period, and Max Fiedler made it 3-1 72 seconds later.
The Wolf Pack rallied to tie the game with a pair of goals while on the power play. Ram Brar, a Surrey native, tallied in the second period then Cody Gordon knotted the score with less than five minutes to play to force overtime.
North Vancouver got the winner with two minutes left in the second extra period.
The two clubs met again last night (Wednesday) in North Vancouver, then both teams will play their final home games of the season Saturday night on home ice. The Wolf Pack will host the Delta Ice Hawks, while North Delta will face-off against the Grandview Steelers.

HASKINS & SELLS CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS NEW YORK SAN FRANCISCO CHICAGO LOS ANGELES DETROIT BULLETIN SEATTLE ST. LOUIS DENVER CLEVELAND ATLANTA BALTIMORE WATERTOWN PITTSBURGH LONDON NEW YORK, APRIL 15, 1918 Looking Into the Future S E V E R A L years ago a man in conversa-tion predicted that the people of the United States would some day feel the pinch of food scarcity. The other party to the conversation laughed. Who would have believed ten years ago that a large part of the civilized world would to-day be engaged in war? Who would have believed two years ago that the railroads of the country would now be operating under government control? Wise men are they who can predict what will happen after the war. Foolish are they who attempt to prophesy. The man without any imagination is doomed to be a plodder. The country which waits to do things until the economic necessity arises rather than because a scientific program so dictates is lacking in foresight. The close of the war will probably see a new situation. There will be international relations which we shall find strange. Economic adjustment will be necessary. Capital will be needed for reconstruction purposes in Europe and for the new enterprises engaged in the conduct of foreign trade. The employment of capital in this country will have to undergo a rearrangement in order to become adapted to the demands of industry. Labor also will require readjustment. Those who return from the war must needs be received into the industrial organization. The unfortunates who will be maimed must be fitted into new vocations. Reaction from self-denial of the creature comforts during the war will probably bring about an increased demand for luxuries which will develop into extravagance. The boom which followed the Civil War, and by which wars are usually followed, will probably materialize after this war is over. If one prophecy may be permitted it is that altogether there will be great activity demanding the services of the accountant. "Cost-plus" contract experience during the war may have stimulated a desire for a greater knowledge of, and more precision in, cost keeping. Large and involved adjustments, between the government and private enterprises, growing out of government control may arise. Taxation may increase in amount and point of complication and demand greater attention. Foreign trade; the transition of capital from a war to a peace basis; the financing of Europe's reconstruction and development; all will bring their problems. We should fit ourselves for the duties and responsibilities to come.

Monroe Labor History Museum
The museum chronicles the development of the Michigan labor movement beginning in the latter half of the 19th century and following it until the present day. Museum exhibits teach visitors about the evolution of the labor movement as Michigan's industrial landscape became more complex at the turn of the century. Central to this narrative are formal labor organizations, such as the AFL-CIO, that coordinated the efforts of the working class not just in Michigan, but around the nation. The Museum also features a library and database for researchers seeking information on Michigan labor history.

Quick Hitters: Preparing for the Backlash, Vol. 1 | by Teds
"ND started 8-0 under Willingham, and we all know how that ended."
Expect to hear this line a lot over the next month or two, especially if Weis and the Irish continue to perform as capably as they did on Saturday evening. But if you look beyond the mere wins and losses, it's a lazy and unconvincing comparison.
In terms of points, Notre Dame scored more in the first half against Pittsburgh than Willingham's 2002 team did in any single game during that entire eight-win start. The only game all season in which the Irish scored more that year than the 35 tallied the other night came against Rutgers (42-0). In fact, it took the 2002 Irish squad into the fourth game of the season before they scored as many offensive touchdowns (five) as this year's team did in the first half of Weis' debut. To be more precise, the Irish offense accomplished in 28 minutes and 21 seconds this year what it took the same unit 209:49 to do three years ago.
Offensive yardage totals are similarly revealing. The Irish accumulated 502 yards against the Panthers last night, which eclipses any single-game total enjoyed during Willingham's debut season. Here's a game-by-game summary of our output in yardage from 2002:
Maryland Purdue Michigan Michigan State Stanford Pittsburgh Air Force | 356 203 311 325 378 185 447 | Florida State Boston College Navy Rutgers Southern Cal NC State | 301 357 340 478 109 286 |
Season average: 313
On a per-play basis, Weis' offense ran for 5.5 yards per carry and threw for 8.4 yards per attempt against Pittsburgh. In 2002, the season averages were 3.4 and 6.6, respectively. In only one game that year (Air Force, 6.0 ypc) did the Irish eclipse the rushing mark posted in the opener.
Obviously, it would be presumptuous to extrapolate too much from the first game of any season. Nevertheless, there were indications in the stat lines that earmark this team as a completely different animal than the fool's gold "Return to Glory" enjoyed by Notre Dame three years ago. Challenges in the coming weeks will offer a more telling portrait of Weis' short-term impact on the program, but those who choose to shrug off last night's effort as "Willingham 2: Electric Boogaloo" don't have the numbers on their side to support the notion.

Williams' mugshot. Photo: TPD.
A Boston man who is a Level 3 sex offender was arrested early Monday morning for allegedly exposing himself and masturbating on an MBTA Orange Line platform.
Daniel Williams, 55, was allegedly spotted doing the lewd act around 12:30 a.m. at Back Bay Station. Transit police said Williams furnished several false names and social security numbers before officers were able to positively identify him.
He was placed into custody for failing to register as a Level 3 sex offender, a level which poses the highest risk of repeat offense and threat to public safety.
Williams was the fifth man in five weeks to be arrested on the MBTA for sexual deviancy.

WASHINGTON – Senior quarterback Greg Cordivari was recently interviewed by Beyond College Sports Network (BSN), the same outlet that named him a preseason All-American in June. Cordivari spent 20 minutes with BSN CEO Jimmy Kibble, as well as BSN reporter Kerry Gibbs, discussing the upcoming 2012 season.
An All-ODAC selection a season ago, Cordivari received the 2011 Melberger Award, which is symbolic of Division III's top football player.
A native of Downingtown, Pa., Cordivari etched his name into the CUA record book a year ago, establishing new school records for completions (321) and attempts (505), while also setting the school record for single game completions (46) and attempts (67). Cordivari's 3,282 passing yards were second best in school annals, while his 25 touchdown passes and 63.6 completion percentage were third best.
Cordivari eclipsed the 400-yard mark on two occasions, including a career-high 459 in a win at McDaniel. He went over 300 yards in seven games and threw multiple touchdowns in every game, but one. Cordivari finished the season ranked seventh nationally in total offense, averaging 315.5 yards per game.
Click here to view the entire interview.
The Cardinals report to preseason camp on Friday morning with the first practice scheduled for the next day. CUA will open the season on Friday, August 31 when McDaniel comes to town for a 7 p.m. showdown.

Plight of the Orphan: Emotional Video
- 2013 Jan 28
Have you ever thought about adopting, about rescuing a child from a bad situation?
Today's Focus on the Family broadcast, The Plight of the Modern-Day Orphan, features a great discussion on the topic with my friends and colleagues, Paul McCusker and Kelly Rosati. They joined John and me to discuss the impact of Charles Dickens' tale Oliver Twist during an age when orphans were largely disregarded, and reiterate today's need for orphan protection and care.
I invite you to listen here, but you'd also be interested in watching this powerful testimony about a modern-day Oliver. Just a warning, though, it is not appropriate for children.
How great is the need!

null has been immortalized in wax yet again. In honor of his 50th birthday on Wednesday, Dec. 18, Madame Tussauds in London unveiled new models of the actor and his fiancée,null.
Unlike his other wax figures, this one features Pitt with numerous wrinkles and longer, thinner hair.
The tribute to Jolie, meanwhile, honors her youthful appearance. It's dressed in a black and blue replica of the red and white Atelier Versace gown the actress wore to the Golden Globes in January 2012.
The couple's wax figures have also been featured at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood and Las Vegas. In July 2006, two months after the Mr. & Mrs. Smith costars welcomed daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the museum debuted a mold in the infant's likeness at its New York City location.
Pitt's first wax figure was unveiled in August 2004 along with a mold of then-wife null. Each came with squeezable bottoms and stroke-able silicone chests as part of the Mr. and Mrs. collection. Unlike some stars, the former couple did not get officially measured or attend the unveiling.
Madame Tussauds wasn't the only company to fete Pitt's 50th birthday. AARP featured the Fury star on a mock magazine cover and announced that the "acclaimed actor, producer, humanitarian and family man" had joined the club.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
One of the terribly difficult things about a change in policy in an entire system is that we don't really know what the effect of that change is. Even after we've observed our new system working in the new manner we still don't really know. For we've not really got anything to compare it with. What we want to compare, say a change in health care policy, with is what is the result of the new system as opposed to what would have been the effect of the old system? But as we're not running the old system any more then how can we? We just don't have a valid comparator.
This will be true in the US under whatever Obamacare becomes and it is most certainly true of the current changes in the NHS in England. Medical practice changes all the time, new drugs are introduced, so how can we select out the effects of more competition from the general improvement in the health service over time? That's what this health care professor is getting at here:
As for public accountability, there is none. Commercial contracts are redacted so that crucial financial information is not in the public domain. Government departments and companies refuse to release the necessary information on the grounds of commercial confidentiality and allow companies to sequester their profits in offshore tax havens. NHS staff transferred from the public to the private sector see their wages and benefits eroded. But all this is nothing compared with what is in store for patients.
In the new world it will no longer be possible to measure coverage or fairness. Former NHS hospitals, free to generate half their income from private patients, will dedicate their staff and facilities to that end, making it impossible to monitor what is public and what people are paying for.
How can we measure that things are getting better (or worse) given that we don't have the old non-competing system to compare it with? Fortunately, there's an answer to that:
From 2013, there will be no National Health Service in England, and tax funding will increasingly flow to global healthcare corporations. In contrast, Scotland and Wales will continue to have a publicly accountable national health service.
We do have a non-competing health service, two in fact, to compare it with. All three systems are operating on roughly the same population, with roughly he same set of technologies and with about the same amount of money. Yes, there are small differences in all three but they are small. So, all we have to do is look at whether the English health care system gets worse compared to the Welsh or Scots one or better.
And actually, this has been done. A few years back competition on the grounds of quality but not price was introduced to NHS England and not to the other two. The research so far is that NHS England has become relatively better than the other two for less money over that period of time. So as far as we know, competition works in health care just like it does elsewhere: driving down costs and standards up.
Which is, of course, why more competition is being introduced into NHS England.

Noteworthy Quotes from Marie's Books!
She thought she saw a hint of admiration and something more, perhaps desire, in his gaze. "P… plans?" she stammered, annoyed with the hypnotic effect he had on her. And what was that strange, but wonderful scent coming off him? - Adrienne, UPON YOUR LOVE
A short breath escaped him. "I… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." He brushed a hand through his hair. "I mean, for all I know, you and Brendan are a thing." - Justin, THE MISSING PIECE
He reached out and touched her cheek. The contact was cool, yet it sizzled with energy. "Too curious," he murmured. "What will I do with you?" - Colin, BLUE VISION

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - Houdini & London Fog
Houdini & London Fog I had four female swordtails in a 10-gallon hospital tank (see "All Female Swordtails Dying"). One "expired" yesterday, so when I went to bed at 11pm, there were still three sickly swordtails in the tank. This morning, a second was dead, a third was still sickly, and one was just missing. Absolutely disappeared! The thank is nearly completely enclosed; what few openings are there are small and would be difficult for even a jumpy fish to get through. The fish was not flopping on the floor near the tank, was not under any rock, plant, or decoration. I cleaned out the ENTIRE tank hunting for it, but it just is not there! Now the tank looks like all of London's fog collected in it. I had treated it with Mardel fungicide, but the instructions said that replacing the carbon filter and doing water changes would eliminate the discoloration and fog. I have done both these measures, but it just gets foggier and foggier. I am at a loss as to what happened to the fish and where the fog is coming from. Any help? I had raised the temperature of the tank 2-3 degrees, and there was a little algae (not bad). Could the higher temperature and the medicine have reacted with one another to create the fog? This is just plain weird. I am new to the hobby but I have done tons of research on fish, disease, and tank upkeep, and I have never seen such bad fog (you can hardly see through it to the other side). |
if it is a white fog their are usually two possibilities. Either there are particles in the water that are too small for the filter to pick up or there is a bacterial bloom. The first option usually happens when people put in new gravel before rinsing it or put in way too much food and the filter is not picking up all of it. If this is the case then use a product called a flocculent (Accuclear, Crystal Clear, etc). A flocculent is a chemical that binds small particles together to make them larger so the filter picks them up. However, most of the time the cause is due to the second possibility...bacterial bloom. When most people start up a new quarium it is common to go through a hazy period of the cycle. This haziness can occur whenever there is a sudden surge of nutrients in the water. The regular bacteria that control the nitrogen cycle are not free floating and so they generally live in the filter or on hard surfaces. There are however, freefloating heterotrophic bacteria that reproduce much quicker and break down organic substances. When you put new fish in or overfeed or even gravel vac and stir up a lot of nutrients, you get a surge of these heterotrophic bacteria coming in to feed off all of the new nutrients. THey reproduce very fast and can cause that milky fog in the water. You mentioned that you had fish die and that you also did a thorough search of the tank to find the missing one. Both of these instances could increase the nutrient levels in the tank and cause the bloom. The only real concern is that the heterotrophic bacteria can produce ammonia, so keep a close eye on your ammonia levels. (usually if you smell the tank and it has a cat urine odor..this is the problem) If it is really bad, I would suggest doing a small water change and cut down your feeding for the next few days till the haziness subsides. |
Flocculants bind to any free-floating particle and make them heavier thus taking them to the bottom where the are the broken doen(hopefully) by the bacteria in the gravel bed. I use them, when needed, even in my spartan tank, where I then vacuum the bottom a day later and continue for about two days. I sometimes vacuum a gravel bttom tank the same way if it is a new system. I believe that this method helps to prevent ammonia spikes which are so devastating in the aquarium. Also, you may want to try elodea which is a plant that is a "filter feeder" and also helps to clean the water as well as soften it. |
not much bacteria actually lives within your gravel bed unless you run an undergravel filter. You basically have two kinds of bacteria living in your tank... autotrophic aerobic bacteria: colonizes on hard surfaces in oxygen rich environments such as your filter and is responsible for changing molecular compounds of organic substances. These are the bacteria we are most familiar with that convert ammonia and nitrite into nitrate. heterotrophic aerobic bacteria: free floating bacteria that reproduces quickly and is responsible for breaking down organic matter, generally with a biproduct of ammonia. THese also thrive in oxygenated environments and adjust their population to the ammount of nutrients and organic matter present in the water: they are responsible for bacterial blooms. That being said...gravel is not an ideal place for either aerobic bacteria to thrive and not very much of the bacteria in your tank will be found there. Exceptions would be very shallow tanks, areas of gravel surrounding aeration, or when an undergravel filter is used. The purpose of flocculents is not to make substances sink to the gravel but merely to allow them to get caught in the filter. If it were the other way around, I wouldnt suggest that anyone use them. |
Thanks for the replies. Greatly appreciate the advice. I don't use undergravel filters due to the great controversy over them, but there are sponges in the Tetra filter to hold bacteria. The cloudiness was at first a pale yellow - understandable since the Mardel fingicide was yellow - but it just got thicker and heavier and turned darker and darker until now the tank looks blood red. It is similar to the "red tide" phenomenon that occurs in the ocean, so I am wondering if it is an algal bloom. As of yesterday my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrite levels were zero - which is a little odd since I usually have about 5ppm of nitrates. I took photos if anyone wants to see them. Today I plan to do a large water change, replace the carbon filter cartridge, and see what happens after that. Also, my remaining red velvet swordtail is perking up just a little and she actually at a little both yesterday and this morning! I don't know if this is due to the red water or in spite of it, but at any rate, I am very pleased with her improvement. |
ahhh...I'm from San Diego and I miss those red tides :-) I have never seen a red algea bloom in a tank before, that is interesting. How long do you leave the lights on in the tank? Most algea bloom problems are due to too much lighting in the tank...but generally with green algea. Not sure if cutting the light down to only a few hours a day and keeping away from direct sunlight would help. Definitely change the cartridge on the filter and the bio bags on the Tetra filters will open up so you can pour more carbon in if you desire. |
Since the tank has live plants, one of which is the light-loving ludwigia, I have the lights on from 8am-1pm, and again from 3pm to 10pm. This still might be too much, though. What do you suggest? I have several snails in the tank that do nice justice to any algae that attempts to grow on the plants, and just a little builds up on the glass which I weekly scrub off. I'm not sure what the red is from; I've never heard of red algae in a fish tank, either. The most common ones, I've read, are brown, blue, and green. The weirdest part of all of this is that the red of the water is the exact same color as my missing fish; I had originally thought the fish had somehow gotten in the filter and been "destributed" throughout the tank as a result. Since there were no visible bone fragments or skeletal structure, however, I doubt very seriously that this was the case. Whatever the discoloration is, it appears to have completely destroyed my biological filter. There are now no nitrates at all, and the ammonia spiked today. So back to square one we go. Grr. Hopefully there is still some bacteria on the plants and gravel and it won't take another 5 weeks to mature. |
Well, I found my Houdini fish today - yes, she had indeed jumped from the tank to a horrible demise. She had landed underneath my tennis shoes, which are close to the counter where the tank sits. I had checked inside the shoes, but just not under them. Poor thing. I still have one solitary female swordtail to go - I really hope she makes it. She's stopped eating again, so I have my doubts, but I guess time will tell. |

text: Gone Country: Bobby Brown Farts On Carnie Wilson, Pees On Dee SniderSlut Machine2/11/08 2:00pmFiled to: ClipsBobby BrownTopCarnie WilsonDee Snidergone country432EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkWhoever was in charge of casting for CMT's reality show Gone Country is a genius for casting Bobby Brown. While he isn't able to recreate the magic that was Being Bobby Brown — obviously due to the absence of sidekick/estranged-spouse Whitney Houston — he still manages to shock and offend in a myriad of other ways. On the most recent episode of GC, Bobby got too drunk to participate in a club appearance for which the group competed in games like "The Toilet Seat Toss." But in keeping with that potty theme, he decided to fart on Carnie Wilson (who described it as a "snappy, wet ripper") and then later almost urinated all over the bedroom he shares with Dee Snider while walking in his sleep. At least he keeps it interesting! Clip above.Reply43 repliesLeave a reply

Dorothy Canada sat down at a table Friday afternoon for the Seniors Championship at the World Series of Poker, scanned those playing alongside her and immediately began an evaluation process.
Her goal: Discover which chairs would produce the most dead money.
"There are some half-dead people and a lot of dead money," she said. "From the minute I sit down, I basically try to figure out who is a good player and who isn't and what weaknesses I can prey on."
Was she assigned a strong table?
"Please," she said. "There is one other good player, and the rest are wondering when they can eat and go to the bathroom."
Canada is 59 and from Las Vegas, all sweet on the outside and more of a shark than any billionaire on reality television on the inside. She was back to even on chips when the first break came two hours into play at the Rio Convention Center, when thousands of players 50 years and older from all parts of the globe were afforded those snack and restroom breaks.
Poker might be proving to be more and more a young person's game, but don't tell that to many who packed three ballrooms here to chase a prize pool of nearly $4 million.
The winner — who might not be determined until Monday — will walk away with $634,809. That's almost 635 times the buy-in of $1,000, and the top six finishers each will win at least $100,000.
That's some nice change, no matter the date on a birth certificate.
The Seniors Championship was added to the WSOP in 2001 and has seen a spike in attendance each ensuing summer, from 340 entries 12 years ago to the record 4,407 who gathered to begin play Friday.
It's true that as technology has improved, peach-fuzz kids who are far savvier in their use of the Internet can zip around the Web gaining experience and seeing more hands in a week than live players might in a year.
Poker at its highest level definitely favors the young now, those with fewer responsibilities and more able to handle the often-bizarre hours needed to become consistently good.
Example: The past five winners of the Main Event hadn't yet reached a 25th birthday when winning their final hand. Doyle Brunson is the 79-year-old Hall of Famer who is tied for second all time with 10 WSOP bracelets.
His last one came in 2005.
You would think that with age comes patience, that with experience comes composure, that the older one is, the smarter a player he or she becomes.
But you still can't control cards.
Joe Goldwasser discovered this again Friday, when not an hour into the Seniors Championship, the 89-year-old retired dentist from North Carolina went all-in with pocket queens. Another at his table called the raise and had a jack fall on the river for three of a kind.
Goldwasser then walked slowly across the convention hall to his cousin, Herman Moonves, who still was playing as the event's oldest player at 92.
"I've got another bad-beat story for you," Goldwasser told Moonves.
Moonves was playing the event for the first time but began trading cards with games of five-card stud at age 17 while growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y. He thinks Goldwasser is a good player who can hold his own most days with younger competitors but agrees poker has undergone a serious generational shift.
"I watch it all the time on TV, and you have these 20-, 23-, 25-year-olds winning championships," said Moonves, who has lived in California since 1979 and is the father of CBS president/CEO Leslie Moonves. "But I like the excitement of it. I'm a born gambler. I want to come here, last at least a day and enjoy myself. I work out at the YMCA every day. I can't walk very far, but I don't get tired."
Neither does Canada. She has an errand-running business locally and has played poker for 27 years. Just don't tell her she can't compete.
"It's anyone's game," she said. "Sometimes, I think experience is better than being younger and playing a thousand hands a day. In the end, the cream rises to the top, no matter how old you are. They're going to pay a lot of spots with the (seniors) turnout this year, so that's good. I'll be (disappointed) if I don't finish in the money, but that's poker.
"No matter what, I'll live to play another day."
Live to discover more dead money at her table. And, hopefully, no dead bodies.

Norwich — Police seized 56 guns and 209 bags of heroin from an alleged heroin dealer following a motor vehicle stop Wednesday evening.
James Blacker, 25, of 433 Scotland Road was the target of an ongoing investigation into heroin trafficking when he was pulled over and found in possession of 200 bags of heroin with a street value of more than $2,000, according to Norwich police Lt. Mark Rankowitz.
Blacker's arrest led to a search and seizure warrant being executed at his home, where police confiscated 48 long guns, eight hand guns, seven undeclared high-capacity magazines, an additional nine bags of heroin and a scale. Police also seized Blacker's 2008 Chevrolet Impala.
Blacker was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with intent to sell and seven counts of possession of a high-capacity magazine.
Held in lieu of a $100,000 bond, Blacker was scheduled to appear Thursday in Norwich Superior Court.
Norwich police said members of the Statewide Narcotic Task Force aided the investigation.
Anyone with information regarding any narcotic or criminal activity in the City of Norwich is encouraged to call the Norwich Police Department at (860) 886-5561, the anonymous tip line at (860) 886-5561 ext. 500 or to email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.33 / 5.00 6,403 Viewsthe top of description:
in this movie I've used programm Macromedia Flash MX, textures from cgtextures, mastered fonts by Loronto, motion sequenses and periods from Samurai Champloo by Manglobe(thanx for informing), gif animations from gifbin, 4gif, sketching movement tutorial by K1ma, bg tutorial Nameless0, flashloops from z0r and others.
what is it:
Vivid and dynamic fullbody animation fight in a forest near the temple. Mongolian warrior stops swordmaster's meditation with his attack, and here starts the fight.
watching Info:
medium quality recommended.
duration 1 min 30+ sec. animation was done for 3.5 months. music used Litsa- prints gosplana. subtitles: English. I stopped animating sometimes and thrice changed the style- so sorry if it's too visible. I tried to change the conception of swordmasters fightings, we can see in animes and some films, where is no action only speaking and pathos, to only fighting.
I hope you'll enjoy this anim.
Ok as I could see the questions somebody has are already arisen, so I'll try to answer them:
please tell me, where is the difference between colour, line thickness or pure formless movement in attitude to conception of a movie I've created?
conception does not depend on form at all, form can be absolutely varieble.
Probably you will say, I also should mention all the colour patterns, and creators of macromedia flash including their parents and all the books of art that inspired me?
This work is a complete system I've created, and movement, motion, composition, colourscheme are atomic parts of it, that doesn't exist without a form.
And this form is mine.
Also some of those atomic parts were repicked from smb's other picks if you understand what am I saying, I've recopied them with the full understanding, what am I doing, making a copy of a copy, so I cannot really say where was it picked first. Versions you're giving are based only at the fact you've seen something with the same motion and just because this version of motion is more popular you have that opinion.
If you have enough time for things, like forum topics, comparing sequenses and mentioning all the atomic parts of smb's work with all of their repics- - its your way.
If you want to do it do it yourself.
Verry good animation of the movements even if some of them a re purely fantastic the realistic are very good used
I like this
As a liker of new wave art I can only say "perfect". Quintessense of all we like in anime fighting. without stupid pathos, without those "rememberings" without "now I fight seriously".
That was really good.
what about all the licences, copyrights ond all the different western sh*t- just get all this stuff to hell, first of all we should watch, how is it look like, what the person wanted to say, because if it was made by own hands and looks crappy who will care about it- agree.
I don't know, look at collages, it's not copying- lot's of collage masters just cannot draw but they need to express their opinion somehow, and I think, they should.
And yes, check out this guy's anims, look at the awards, and look at the "commenters" awards and watches- they all are simply envy I think.
Haven't seen many action flashes with movements this fluid. Great work, and nice twist at the end.
I see a new type of art
I've read all the comments below and I suppose I know what like will be the comments after. As I can see there are no smart people around there except the author.
Look around we are in internet and we are in 21st sentury, let's refuse those stupid categorization and privatization- these are priorities of communists, you know? Motion cannot be private as a line, face or state of body. Let's think what author wanted to say with that movie! I've read words like "this won't help him to become a great animator!" But WHY should he be great animator if he wants to say something importaint now? You are thinking about that like about a theft only because of your councrete ideology, so if you'll just try to understand what am I saying- you'll understand that this movie is a new step in creating of movies. movies for conception but not for "who can better draw how ball moves"

Here's some John Lee Hooker.
And John Lee Hooker with ZZ top.
You guys are overwhelming me! I'm a big "old school" jazz buff and could spend hours chatting about it. Simply dropping names here doesn't do the subject justice. I mean, for example, I just read a whole BOOK about Louis Armstrong--in the 1930s ONLY! It sure would be fun to have a gathering of jazz fans to listen and talk about the greatest music ever invented (along with classical).
I don't like programed (dance, or club) music - it all sounds the same to me.
Sort of like every commercial you ever heard on TV.
I hope I didn't offend you by thinking of the CeeLo song. It just reminded me of that.
I prefer the fast version of Gnarls Barkeley's fast version of " Crazy"
Though both are great.
His Slow version follows
Here's the fast tempo that I don't think he likes but I think is better.
Cee Lo Green and Gnarles Barkley are indeed different musicians.
I was thinking of the "Fuck You" song when I referenced CeeLo in a previous post.
Charlie Parker is great. {I saw the movie}.
Miles Davis, and Chet Baker are also a couple of my favorites.
I've been getting into Arabic club/dance music lately.
Yes, that recording of Dizzy playing Night in Tunisia is just the epitome of cool. Hard to top that!
In the Chaka Khan version of Night in Tunisia, the big saxophone break just before the 4 min. mark is actually Charlie Parker which they sampled in. Kinda fun and a nice homage.
Speaking of.........
Anyone see the movie "Bird" directed by Clint Eastwood? An excellent biographical movie about Charlie Parker.

I'm a huge fan of Michelle Quan's stoneware. I saved up for ages to buy one of her hanging bells and now have my eyes on (no pun intended) these incredible eye platters and eye sculptures at The Future Perfect. Each of Michelle's pieces is wheel thrown and hand-painted on a white Terra Sigilatta base, which contrasts so nicely with the black lines she uses in her eye detailing. I can't get enough of that clay-white and black contrast these days, so these are definitely going on my wishlist for "one day" purchases. Click here and here to check them out online from The Future Perfect. xo, grace
sooo cool, thanks for introducing me to a great artist :D
her work is so beautiful –
I can absolutely see what you mean! Beautiful!
I have seen more and more designs where there is just lines and contrast and it just works amazing.
