This one comes from way back when we were all riding 23c or 28c tires, grinding on Milwaukee Bicycle Co Stout chainring guards and riding square taper cranks. It was that awkward and yet nostalgic time period where fixed gears and fixed freestyle bikes looks very similar. This was the second size large Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta' produced and at the time, I was grinning ear to ear when I got my hands on it. While there wasn't really a fixed freestyle "team" for BMW, Joe had some great people riding and thrashing these bikes.
I dug these photos up while cleaning out a hard drive and thought I'd share. Credit goes to Sasha E for the shots because I was still firing away with a Casio pocket camera at the time….

If the movie this weekend isn't as big a deal to Gabriel Iglesias, it's because of the movie this summer.
Iglesias co-stars in the Marlon Wayans comedy "A Haunted House 2," which opens Friday, giving Las Vegans the chance to see the movie and then see him live in the same day.
But the bigger bragging rights will be saved for "The Fluffy Movie," slated for July 11, because it's rare for a stand-up concert film to get a wide release, in at least 800 theaters (maybe more, he says, depending on how test screenings go).
And it explains the career of the hefty, family-friendly comedian who could have played plenty of huggable movie and TV characters by now, but instead defined himself through stand-up.
"I was knocking on doors a lot in the beginning, and then I realized, you know, why am I trying to kill myself to do movies if stand-up is my passion?" the California native says. "It got to the point where I just focused on stand-up and made it as big as it is now for me."
The 37-year-old headlines four times a year at The Mirage, where he performs Friday and Saturday. It's another sign of how far he has come since 2007 when he was booked as a niche comedian for Mexican Independence Day. "Let's bring him in when the Mexicans are here," Iglesias says with a laugh.
"I like that. I appreciate that. I paid some dues in Vegas to get to the point where I can come in four times a year."
Iglesias says both "Magic Mike" and "A Haunted House 2" — two flicks that otherwise would not be mentioned together — came as invitations, not auditions, because Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans were fans of his stand-up.
"I've been offered sitcoms and it wasn't my cup of tea," he says, noting the paradigm has changed since the 1990s, when spinning a comedian's stage sensibilities into a "Seinfeld" or "Everybody Loves Raymond" was the Holy Grail.
"The '90s definitely was all about that 'Hey, let's get a sitcom so we can build an audience (for the live shows),' " he says. "I think now between having social networks and YouTube, I think that's the way to go now."
So much so that the theatrical success of Kevin Hart's "Let Me Explain" concert flick paved the way for "The Fluffy Movie." Now Iglesias can play Wayans' next-door neighbor just for fun in the raunchy, R-rated "Haunted" spoof.
"It's so over the top, my stand-up doesn't even come close to the types of things that happen in that movie," he says. "I think I've cussed more in this movie than in all of my specials put together."
It was "a little uncomfortable, but at the same time it was nice to have that freedom."
Iglesias also lent a hand to fellow stand-up Cristela Alonzo by doing a guest shot in a pilot she filmed for ABC.
But even if all these things lead to more of them, "I do not plan on quitting or even slowing down on stand-up," he says. "This is my No. 1 focus, and it will always be my No. 1 focus.
"Eddie Murphy was one of the biggest inspirations for me to become a comic, but at the same time it kind of let me down that he wouldn't come back to stand-up."
The act may transform, however, starting with the whole "Fluffy" thing. Iglesias says more people call him that than Gabriel, and he's proud of the fact that when you type "Fluffy" into Google, he is the highest-ranking result.
But the stand-up movie filmed in San Jose, Calif., recently "might be one of the last times that you hear me using the word 'Fluffy' as part of the branding," he says.
He's simply not as fluffy as he used to be, after losing 100 pounds.
"I maxed out at about 450," he says. "I'm still not a skinny guy by any means, but a hundred pounds is a hundred pounds."
The conversation with Iglesias took place before the death of John Pinette — a fellow comedian who devoted much of his act to being overweight — of an apparent pulmonary embolism.
"It's one thing if you go from 200 to 400 pounds overnight and realize just how much damage you've done," Iglesias said, but his weight gain was "very slow, very gradual. … I was used to it."
But when his doctor ran a bunch of tests, "it wasn't looking too good." Stomach-shrinking surgery wasn't an option because of his travel schedule, so "I had to do it the old-fashioned way. I cut out the carbs."
It probably wasn't the healthiest way, he adds, and "I still eat fast food every day, I just kind of learned the tricks."
But he is gradually weaning his fans off fat jokes. "You got to eventually break it, and that's the point that I'm at right now. I'm at the point in my show where I'm starting to explain what's going on and the transition.
"You can only go so far by sticking to one thing. You gotta expand."
In the metaphorical sense, of course.

Schematics for Ski-Doos are building plans, engine diagrams and other quantifiable charts that help users troubleshoot or build their own Ski-Doo brand snowmobiles. The Ski-Doo brand name was first launched in 1959, and since then the brand is one of the most recognized manufacturers of snowmobiles, sleds and other snow sports accessories and products.Continue Reading
To extend the life of your Ski-Doo snowmobile, make sure that you regularly maintain and clean it before and after seasonal use. Once your vehicle is clean and dry, begin visual inspections along the sled's exterior. Always begin with the hood and move down the seat to check for cracks and decal damage. Decals are easy to repair with a little bit of glue, but more extensive cracks and signs of damage may need intensive repairing. Take larger instances of damage to a local snowmobile dealer to have the parts replaced.
Lift the sled and inspect the track and rear suspension to make sure that these sections are operational. All worn sliders need replacement as soon as damage is visible, because if they are left alone, they may damage the operation of the vehicle itself. When the exterior is ready, inspect the engine and other sections under the hood to see if there are connection problems or obvious wear on mechanical surfaces.Learn more about Vehicles

Autographed Make-up by ONE DIRECTION GiveawayThe One Direction "limited edition" makeup line, advertised as "bold, mischievous, vivid" and "everything you need" is an ensemble of slightly better-than drugstore cosmetics is now available at Macy's. The Up All Night collection includes a 4+1 eye shadow palate, a black volumizing mascara, an aqua metallic nail varnish, a glittery pink lip gloss, a crème pink lipstick, a decorator stencil set, and a navy eye pencil/ body crayon. This makeup line was inspired by One Direction's albums, Midnight Memories, Take Me Home, and Up All Night. Therefore, each product is named after a song from the chart topping albums. The collection is in an attractive and modern collectable tin box featuring the members of the band and looks that could be created with the products.
4+1 Eye Shadow Palette
The eye shadow palate includes four colors, silver- "Gotta Be You," soft pink- "More Than This," turquoise shimmer- "Save You Tonight," and royal blue- "Another World." It also includes a sapphire glitter named after One Direction's bestselling album, Up All Night. All of the colors were very pigmented and sensitive to the skin. However, the glitter "crème" was short lasting and had an odd, sticky texture.
"Stand Up" Navy Eye Pencil/ Body Crayon and "Little Black Dress" Mascara
This eye pencil/ body crayon has multi-functions; it can be used as liner, shadow, or body art. Overall, it glides on smoothly and is pigment-rich. The "Little Black Dress" Mascara was [fairly] volumizing as advertised and went on evenly.
"I Should Have Kissed You" Lipstick and "Taken" Lip-gloss
Both of these pigments were uneasy to the eye. The "I Should Have Kissed You" lipstick was not the as- advertised bubble gum, but a chalky, unattractive, neon pink. It also did not apply evenly, emphasizing blemishes and imperfections. The "Taken" Lip-gloss surely took me away when I first applied it. It stuck like molasses and felt as if I had bubble gum stuck to my lips. On the contrary, it is highly pigmented and uniquely glows orange under UV lights, which was surprising and impressive. However, I do believe that the creators should have chosen a different color for both the normal gloss and the pigment when under UV light. Thankfully, it is a more doable color in the Midnight Memories collection.
"Na Na Na" Nail VarnishThe "Na, Na, Na" nail varnish is a metallic turquoise featuring specs of golden dust. Although it has an attractive color and dried fairly quickly, the nail varnish fails to be highly pigmented unlike the rest of the collection. In order to have a somewhat presentable nail, you must apply at least four layers of varnish, which was a letdown.

According to the Lindt USA company website, due to company policies and liability concerns, chocolate factory tours are not available to the public in the United States. Many guided tours visit the Lindt chocolate factory in Kilchberg, to the south of Zurich, Switzerland, but it is not possible to tour the chocolate production facility, according to Viator.Continue Reading
A customer, who experienced the Zurich Lindt chocolate tour, states that it was a waste of time and money. In a review on Get Your Guide, the customer notes that upon arriving to the Lindt chocolate factory, the guide informed them that they could not tour the factory facility, but were only permitted to go to the Lindt chocolate factory outlet, a store attached to the factory. The customer notes that the factory store sells nothing unique, compared to other stores selling Lindt chocolate products.
Many package tour deals for those visiting Zurich include a trip to the Lindt chocolate factory and factory outlet shop, as it is located on the outskirts of the city. The shop offers many varieties of Lindt chocolates produced at the on-site factory, some exclusive confections and discounted factory rejects. Customer reviews on Viator stated that it was disappointing to not be able to see the factory, but that the factory store offers great chocolate and the tour is good for chocolate lovers.Learn more about Geography

Two Empty Suits Stand Together
Can you believe this? I have never heard before a President of the United States stand side by side with a foreign leader and criticize the laws of this country. This man has no shame. As he said this newly passed anti-illegal immigration law passed in Arizona was a "misdirected effort" after Calderon referred to it as discriminatory.
This administration has no regards for what the people of this great nation want. 70% of Americans actually support this legislation yet our President stands there and again and again lies about the true content of this law. Just like the health care debate where the majority of Americans rejected it he again goes against the will of the people.
Then we have President Calderon himself who can't even run his own country telling us what kind of laws we should pass. He comes to our house and is dictating to us how to run our beloved country. Mr. Calderon this is our country. Keep out of our business. Go back home and deal with your own mess.
If I was to break the Mexican immigration laws which by the way are a lot tougher in Mexico I would be thrown in jail. Yet he can come over here and stand right next to this empty suit and criticize the will of the people and get away with it.
Folks this is our President, instead of standing with us he chooses to kiss ass and again betray his people. But we all know his agenda so this should not surprise anyone.
On the other hand we have Eric Holder our Attorney General. We have one of the most important issues on the table and he claims he has not read the law. The leading man in law enforcement in this country and he has not read the law. Do you believe this? This is definitely the most incompetent administration in this country's history.

Hi Joey, I heard your call to the Tom Marr show.I'm a 59 yr old Constitutional Conservative, white, former firefighter. I'm a Reagan/Palin Conservative.ReplyDelete
Thank you, dear Patriot, for your principled stand.
I am sick over the divisive tactics of the New (Marxist) Democrat Party. I fear, no, I believe, that their agenda is the absolute destruction of the America that I love. They literally stand against, and despise, everything that I hold dear, such as the Constitution, national defense, sanctity of life, God, patriotism, morals, and principles.
They have rabble roused the black and Latino minorities to hate me and our country.
I've been on the political front lines since I first "woke up" in early '08.
To know of you gives me hope. Thank you.
Bruce I have posted your comment on my blog. I thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. It is very hard like I said on the show to get the word out when you have no name recognition. I also love this country. This administration will transform this beloved country of ours into a socialist state unless we prevail, and we will. I thank you for your service to this country as a former firefighter. You put your life on the line every single day for total strangers while your family sat home day in and day out wondering if you would come home. Well you did come home. Together we hope that people can wake up and also come home when they hear our call. Please keep up the fight and when you get a chance keep reading my blog. We are firefighters of a different kind now. Let us together put out the Liberal fire and let's take our country back.ReplyDelete
Hi Joey,ReplyDelete
I'm an American of mixed racial heretage, and like Lloyd Marcus, I deplore hyphenations. When asked about race, I say proudly "American", or American MUTT, for that is what I am. With the diversity in the United States, people of ALL races must get over the Race Issue, and become "UNHYPHENATED AMERICANS" first and foremost. Race Baiting by all sides is counter productive. America has always loved its diversification, and why shouldn't we. From the Irish we all love Saint Patricks Day, and we are all Irish for the day. From the Italians, and Latinos we enjoy their rich heritage of food, Columbus Day and Cinco de Mayo, (which isn't even a holiday in Mexico). Americans who are of Black Heritage give us Soul. Native Americans give us all a love and identity with the "Natural World" in our Country. There is not a diverse group in this Country that doesn't have something to offer the whole, so why not enjoy it, and each other?
That said, the whole can't continue to support those that want a "Free Ride" regardless of their Racial Heritage. Americans must work for the good of the whole, as a group, not race by race. Immigration is good, new diverse peoples who want to be here, want to be Americans, want to become part of the whole are very welcome. Those that think differently, or steal into our land Illegally, need not apply,.
La Raza, Raza, (the Race) mystifies me, as a person of mixed heritage. Exactly which "Race" are they referring to? There is no Latino Race, as latino's are a mix of many races themselves, and not all the same, depending on their Country of origin.
Children in Arizona and the American Southwest study Raza, (Race) and apparently they are being taught Insurrection in the process. Is this something that should be taught in American Schools? Honesty in History, heck Yes,, Insurrection NO! The supporters of this movement (La Reconquista's) are fomenting Insurrection in our Country, racial hatred, and are NOT working for the good of the whole, and therefore I dispise them, and their message. If we are all to support our races,, just "Which" race are we supporting? Which race should I support, of the 3 that are in my heritage? What about the President of the U.S., he is bi-racial?
This is crazy folks,,, common sense must prevail, hatreds put aside, diversity honored but unified in the "Whole",, the American Race!
The LAW of the United States of America must be honored by all peoples in our vast diverse racial makeup. As we honor that law, we can't support any kind of Immigration, but LEGAL IMMIGRATION!

When I was younger, I used to hate going shopping for boots, because it always took me ages to find some that wouldn't make my feet look bigger or my legs even thinner, but as soon as I had found a good pair, I lived in them until they broke into pieces! Nowadays, I don't have a problem with deciding which ones to buy because of what fits me/what doesn't fit me, but because of how much money I can spend, haha! I love having different kinds of boots to wear with dresses or big coats or leather pants and chunky scarves. Naturally, moving to the UK has made my cravings for more boots even worse, as every girl here owns the coolest boots and combines them in incredible ways! Above you can see a couple of pairs that I particularly like right now. My favourites here have to be the Chelsea boots and the snake skin Chelsea wellies! The entire Chelsea boot style is really starting to grow on me, plus I've been looking for wellies but still haven't found any. I'm saving up for another pair ATM, boo student budget!
PS: Did anyone notice that all these boots are black and that all the boots I own are black too? Hmmm

The swings in U.S. stock prices are getting wider as Wednesday's Fed policy statement approaches. The Dow has now had five straight triple-digit moves for the first time since October 2011, while the S&P has had an average daily move of nearly one percent during that time. The Fed's two-day meeting begins today with investor anxiety over the future of quantitative easing likely to grow until the Fed statement. Monday's gains for the Dow and the S&P 500 were enough to put them back in positive territory for June.
Investors will have two economic reports to ponder before the opening bell, with May housing starts and consumer prices both out at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists look for an 11.4 percent increase in housing starts to an annual rate of 950,000 units, while consumer prices are expected to rise 0.2 percent for both the headline number and the "core" rate, figured without food and energy. Consumer prices had fallen 0.4 percent in April.
Financial information provider FactSet (FDS) is among the few companies set to release earnings this morning, while software maker Adobe Systems (ADBE) and furniture company La-Z-Boy (LZB) are set to issue quarterly numbers after today's closing bell.
Smithfield Foods (SFD) is among our stocks to watch, with the pork producer saying it will study the letter sent by major shareholder Starboard Value earlier in the day. That letter proposed a breakup of the company, saying it yielded far more value than the $34 per share buyout deal struck with China's Shuanghui Holdings.
Sony (SNE) is also on the watch list, with hedge fund operator Third Point raising its stake to 7 percent from about 6.3 percent. Third Point also asked for the chance to present its case for a spinoff of Sony's entertainment unit to the board of directors.
Boeing (BA) has formally launched a new version of its Dreamliner, the 787-10, and announced commitments for 102 of the jets from five customers including United Airlines.
Host Hotels (HST) has increased its quarterly dividend by one cent to eleven cents per share, payable July 15 to stockholders of record on June 28.
Sprint Nextel (S) sued Dish Network (DISH) to block Dish's bid for Clearwire (CLWR). The suit claims Dish is trying to coerce Clearwire shareholders into tendering their shares. Sprint has a competing bid to buy the nearly half of Clearwire that it doesn't already own. The suit comes as Dish competes with Japan's Softbank to buy Sprint.
Yahoo (YHOO) is having an active week pursuing acquisitions, according to All Things D, which reports Yahoo is offering to buy address book app maker Xobni for up to $40 million, and is also considering a $50 million offer for automated video app maker Qwiki.
Rambus (RMBS) raised the bottom end of its second quarter revenue forecast, and the chipmaker also announced a license agreement with STMicroelectronics (STM) that resolves all litigation between the two.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX) will sell $1.75 billion in common stock, using the proceeds for its $4.5 billion acquisition of Bausch & Lomb.
Office Depot (ODP) will hold its annual meeting on August 21. The office supplies retailer set the date after being sued by shareholder Starboard Value (see Smithfield story above) for not holding one over the past year to elect directors.

I recently gave a talk at an SEGD workshop on interactive technologies and wayfinding. It was a lot of fun, and I've posted the slides and a kinda rough transcription on my site.
There's a disqus thread at the bottom of the page, and I'd love any feedback or critiques you'd be willing to give, especially as I'm hoping to rewrite and improve on it for a later presentation. Thanks!

She of the red wig, wall-to-wall polka dot and giant fruit fame is returning to her homeland with her latest massive exhibition. Having wowed fans from London to Paris, New York and Brisbane with her jaw-dropping installations, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama brings her vibrant, patterntastic work to Tokyo's The National Art Center in Roppongi. Modern art-lovers and creative kooks should not miss this one!
Running until 22 May, "Yayoi Kusama: My Eternal Soul" marks the 10th anniversary of the acclaimed gallery. The show spans sculpture, acrylics on canvas, mixed-media collages and more, including 132 paintings from Kusama's ongoing "My Eternal Soul" series, which she began in 2009. Currently numbering over 500 paintings, the series sees natural forms jostle with abstract patterns in a bold, colourful celebration of the essence of the artist.
An 80-work retrospective runs from her earliest drawings and paintings – as a child in Matsumoto, interested in plant and animal motifs – to her time in New York from 1957 to 73, when she experimented with abstraction, sex and food, and later period in Tokyo where phallic imagery, nets and polka dots dominated sculpture and installations. All up, savour more than 270 creations drawn from Kusama's prolific 70-year career, including her iconic black-and-yellow dotty pumpkins.
TIME magazine's 2016 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World included Kusama. See why she deserves that spot – no pun intended…
Until 22 May, 2017.
The National Art Center / 7-22-2 Roppongi / Minato-ku / +81 3 5777 8600 / 10am-6pm Sat-Mon & Wed-Thu, till 8pm Fri (till 8pm daily 29 Apr–7 May) / nact.jp

Social entrepreneurs are developing employment concepts for southern Europe
New developments at Robert Bosch Stiftung
Sandra Schürmann, the founder of JobAct, hopes to promote the strengths of unemployed youth while at the same time help them find a job. Her company offers a special drama program for job seekers that enables participants to develop their own plays. At the same time, those taking part in the program receive intensive job application training that is closely related to their theater work. Schürmann is one of twenty social entrepreneurs that receive funding from the "This Works!" initiative. On June 29, Schürmann and her counterparts presented their ideas to the public in Brussels.
The Robert Bosch Stiftung launched the initiative in 2014 in cooperation with Ashoka, a non-profit organization. The aim is to apply successful employment concepts in southern European countries, where youth unemployment is high, and to provide young job seekers in Spain, Italy, and Greece with new prospects for the future. The initiative is based on the idea that Ashoka Europe and Ashoka national offices help social entrepreneurs find local partners who can then implement the concepts in their communities. The Robert Bosch Stiftung has spent almost one million euros on the "This Works!" initiative.
At the event in Brussels, which was attended by politicians and members of civil society, social entrepreneurs showed how many young people they have been able to help find work. Until now, more than 3,000 people have taken part in "This Works!" training seminars, and about 1,500 have found jobs. To conclude the event, participants discussed what is needed to successfully transfer ideas that promote social entrepreneurship to other countries. Factors include selecting the right partners abroad, taking local needs into account, and promoting knowledge sharing between companies and partners.
In the future, additional countries will also benefit from "This Works!". Market studies are currently underway to assess whether the project could be rolled out in Portugal and Croatia to help fight youth unemployment in these two countries.
More information on the "This Works!" project can be found here.

What can companies do to make social innovations possible?
The Bosch Diesel Systems management team recently addressed this question at its annual meeting. To discuss possible answers, the senior executives invited a prominent speaker to their gathering: Olivier Kayser, the founder and managing director of Hystra, a global management consultancy that specializes in social entrepreneurship. The former McKinsey senior partner's keynote speech highlighted the fact that stakeholders in today's business community are now taking a more active role with regard to social responsibility. "The public debate is no longer focusing only on avoiding negative impacts on the environment and society. Today, companies are expected to take advantage of opportunities to tackle social problems," said Kayser.
The seasoned consultant provided a number of practical examples to illustrate his argument. He spoke, for instance, about a cement manufacturer that revamped its product portfolio with the aim of providing more affordable housing while at the same time attracting a greater number of customers with lower income and raising its revenue. In addition to its core product, the company now also offers technical advice and financing for the construction of makeshift houses. The approach also pays off for the customers, as approximately 40 percent of the acquired cement has ended up as discard due to a lack of knowledge or financing. Another example his talk addressed was that of a pharmaceutical company that has joined forces with Ashoka, a non-profit organization, to provide up-and-coming executives with insights into the work of social entrepreneurs. As a result of this program, young executives learn to see social innovation as potential drivers of growth at an early stage.
"Be the change you want to see in the world." With this Mahatma Gandhi quote Olivier Kayser encouraged the Bosch Diesel Systems managers to commit to social change over the course of their careers, for instance by cooperating with social entrepreneurs in the areas of security, transport, or recycling – all of which are Bosch fields of business. To do this, a corporate culture is required that is, much like Bosch's, based on innovative spirit, openness, and cross-sectoral cooperation. At the same time, "changemakers" must be willing and able to accept mistakes and learn from them. According to Kayser, executives that take this risk are often rewarded with growth, innovation, and a greater sense of purpose; one that the words "Invented for life", the Bosch strategic imperative, reflect perfectly.
Experts discuss the future of civil society
New developments at Robert Bosch Stiftung
Where and in what form can the citizens of a globalized society make an active contribution? This was one of the topics of "The Era of Citizens – How Civil Society and Foundations are Shaping the Future", an international conference that was held on October 16 and 17 in Berlin. The event was hosted by Robert Bosch Stiftung and was attended by prominent personalities from the worlds of politics and media, as well as by representatives of foundations and committed citizens. Discussions focused on the role that foundations play as partners of the state and businesses. On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the corporate foundation presented its study "The Future of Foundations".
Federal President Joachim Gauck opened the conference. In his speech, he reminded the audience of Robert Bosch's legacy. The company founder never lost sight of social well-being, and was committed to promoting education and health. "Today, there are many networks besides democratic institutions that make this country strong and beautiful," said Gauck, who emphasized that civil society is the hope for a better future, also in countries such as Myanmar or India.
Gauck's words were echoed by Kailash Satyarthi, who recently received the Nobel Peace Prize for this commitment to fighting child labor in India. "Each of us has something special to contribute," said the founder of the "Global March against Child Labour" network. "We must globalize with compassion, and this is a message we must pass on to our children." Muhammed Yunus also spoke at the conference. The inventor of micro-credit is also a founding member of the "Global Academy", an Ashoka initiative. The non-profit organization is also a partner of Robert Bosch Stiftung.

Thank you in advance for the tech insight!!!

Last week's History Wednesday was a bit on the dark side, so this week I wanted to lighten the mood. What happened in Boston earlier this week only makes the call for a less intense article all the more stronger.
Today History Wednesday travels back to 1917, but not to the bleak, war-torn landscape often associated with that year. Instead this story takes place in the countryside of Great Britain, specifically a town called Cottingley in West Yorkshire. It was here in this unassuming hamlet nearly a century ago that two girls pulled off a hoax that bamboozled an entire nation and made a very famous author look foolish indeed.
And so it was in this pastoral environment of rural north-central England that 16-year-old Elsie Wright and her 10-year-old cousin, Frances Griffiths, often found themselves dirty and wet after playing in the stream near their home. They explained to their exasperated mothers that they frequented the area because fairies lived there.
One day, the girls decided to "prove" it. Arthur Wright, Elsie's father, was an amateur photographer who had set up a darkroom on the property. Consequently Elsie – a gifted artist – was somewhat adept at photography as well. Using illustrations from Princess Mary's Gift Book, the girls made several two-dimensional fairy drawings. Elsie then took a picture of Frances with the figures.
Pictured: Photoshoppe -13.0.
A couple months later the girls repeated the prank, posing Elsie with a "gnome." Arthur Wright, who was sick and tired of the girls screwing around with his equipment, forbade them access to the camera after that.
That should have been the end of it right there. However, Elsie's mother, Polly, believed the photographs were the real deal. A couple years after the incident she took them to a local meeting of the Theosophical Society, a group that researched esoterica such as, you know, fairies.
Kind of like this, but without the LSD.
Needless to say, the photos were a big hit. Edward Gardner, a leading member of the Theosophical Society, became their prime apologist. After they were featured at the society's national conference, they were "authenticated" by a guy who merely said the negatives weren't tampered with (which was true). But hell, close enough, right?
Well, they were close enough for a certain Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, an active Spiritualist who learned about the photographs through his editorial contacts. As the more astute among you know, Conan Doyle was a famous Scottish author best known for creating a character named Sherlock Holmes. He totally bought the "fairies are real" line, even after the photographic companies Kodak and Ilford expressed their, um, doubts.
The mustache, however, is obviously fake.
That's when things started getting seriously stupid.
In order to corroborate the "evidence," Conan Doyle sent Gardner to Cottingley to meet the Wright family and get some more fairy photographs. Gardner brought with him two new Kodak cameras and some marked photographic plates. He taught the girls how to use the cameras and then left, charging them with taking the pictures themselves. The girls in turn would only take photographs when no one else was around, as they were the only ones the "fairies" trusted. Sure enough, three new fairy photographs appeared and the plates were dutifully shipped back to Gardner in London.
"Hey, hey. Let's tell them we found a way to turn brown sauce into diamonds. They'll totally go for it!"
So did Gardner or Conan Doyle catch on? Oh, hell no! Upon hearing of the new photographs, Conan Doyle replied:
I had your note and the three wonderful pictures which are confirmatory of our published results. When our fairies are admitted other psychic phenomena will find a more ready acceptance.
Conan Doyle triumphantly published his findings in December 1920. While some fell for the hoax, many others were quick to call bullshit. In other words, the world wasn't completely stupid in 1920 after all. As for Elsie and Francis, they finally owned up to the hoax.
In 1983.

My favorite character is Aunt Beast! I like Aunt Beast because she is nice and furry. My favorite part is when Mrs. Whatsit comes in. It was funny because Mrs. Whatsit acts as if she owns the house. This book reminds me of the Narnia books because of the details and the creatures.
I recommend this book to fourth and fifth graders who like magic fiction books.

Football Recruiting
Life along the recruiting trail is beginning to reach a fevered pitch as signing day draws near. Oregon's 2014 class has seen some rocky moments over the last week but nonetheless figures to be one of the best in the country when all is said and done. Along with some familiar targets, the Ducks recently made moves on two new names that have potential to be late-cycle grabs if all goes according to plan.
Two sport big-man Jalen Canty (3-Star/Vallejo, CA) picked up an Oregon offer over the weekend and indicated he will be in Eugene on January 31st to give the Ducks a hard look. Standing 6-foot-8, 270 lbs., Canty does his work on the edge as a defensive end and is capable of dropping back into coverage when needed.
When not putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks, Canty is a force to be reckoned with down low on the hardwood and could potentially play both sports at the collegiate level. Oregon's willingness to allow athletes to spend time with multiple sports could be a huge selling point for Canty as he considers his final program list.
To view Canty football highlights, please click here.
"Coach John Neal reached out to me a few days ago," said Tucker. ". . . I am interested in the Ducks."
Tucker, at 6-foot-1, 183 lbs., fits the mold of Oregon's secondary and could fill the role of a rover tasked with taking opposing offenses out of their passing game rhythm.
For up to the minute recruiting news, please visit our friends at DUCK TERRITORY, who graciously provide FISHDUCK with in-depth analysis and player-generated material. Look for my latest recruiting update every Wednesday. WTD!!!

Posted on 06/25/2012 5:22:08 PM PDT by moonshot925
click here to read article
Faggotry and sodomy is celebrated by the US military. That's the end of that fighting force. It is now a social experiment.
Major judgement coming in 3, 2, 1....
As has been said before. If God doesn't do something about America He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gamorrah.
I wonder if they will call it a 'casual dress' day so the fags and faggettes will be able to wear their chaps (sans pants) and vests (sans shirts).
I am 'sorry' but I couldn't bring myself to read this trashy article but is it MANDATORY for all to attend?
Good day to get that lobotomy you have been waiting for..
As recently as the late 1980s and for their own safety, we would hustle homos off the ship and out of the Navy. Inevitably, the perverts would make moves on hetero sailors, often in the berthing compartments after taps and lights out. During my last sea tour, two of them "mysteriously" disappeared overboard during blue water operations; no trace. Another true story.
I do not condone summary justice. But I less favor the orgy of celebration of an immoral and dangerous lifestyle choice the Bathhouse Barry administration is foisting on the U.S. Armed Forces. Homosexuality is incompatible with military readiness and maximum warfighting capacity, as well as being detrimental to morale and good order & discipline. There are "few problems" because any right-thinking service member who speaks up against the idiocy will be punished or run out of the military.
Does anyone in the military really want to risk and lay down their lives for this perversion? This is the "freedom" you'll fight for?
Head Quarters, V. Forge, Saturday, March 14, 1778.
At a General Court Martial whereof Colo. Tupper was President (10th March 1778) Lieutt. Enslin28 of Colo. Malcom's Regiment tried for attempting to commit sodomy, with John Monhort a soldier; Secondly, For Perjury in swearing to false Accounts, found guilty of the charges exhibited against him, being breaches of 5th. Article 18th. Section of the Articles of War and do sentence him to be dismiss'd the service with Infamy.
His Excellency the Commander in Chief (GEORGE WASHINGTON) approves the sentence and with Abhorrence and Detestation of such Infamous Crimes orders Lieutt. Enslin to be drummed out of Camp tomorrow morning by all the Drummers and Fifers in the
Army never to return; The Drummers and Fifers to attend on the Grand Parade at Guard mounting for that Purpose.
Note: Make sure the )) is on the end of the link!
This is amazing. I once received retribution for disobeying an unlawful order. I went to my Commander, explained why the order was unlawful and gave him the chance to rescind the order.
He said that it was a misunderstanding and he rescinded the order; but my career suffered.
Are the Senior ranks entirely contaminated with politically motivated scoundrels and perverts?
Hopefully the asshat loses and some sanity returns to dc. Meanwhile, the words uttered in the shakespear play Julius Caesar come to mind: The evil that men do lives long after them. Even if Romney wins, it will take two generations now to clean up the messes of Clinton and the current jerk. As a fairly religious person, I have problems wishing someone ill but I make an exception for his excellency, in fact, I wish him every evil and bad event that can happen in ones life for what he has done to this country. I hope he takes all those who voted for him or financially supported him to hell where they all belong for all eternity.
For what it's worth, things seem pretty business as usual around my unit.
If Romney wins in November, hes going to be under a huge amount of pressure to reverse this policy.
You may find it very difficult to put the toothpaste back into the tube. Lawyers will be grinning.
Just because people are open about having someone of the same sex pleasure them, that isn't exactly an accomplishment. An accomplishment is something like going to the moon or separating yourself from a world power (Independence day).
These bastards would love to receive that order from the CIC. How times have changed. Our nation is truly lost.
God in Heaven help us. Stop these evil people who are trying to destroy our children, our nation and our future. Wake up every American to the danger we are in with the politicans who have been making sinful laws and enacting legal orders to change the laws that You established. We stand with You God, rejecting their ways and ask that You delivers us all from this evil. Give us wisdom and guidance and direction on what we can do. No man can save us from the times we are living in; only You can. Have mercy on us and fill us with Your peace. Amen
This is hilarious. They ought to host it on Afghanistan, piss off the Taliban with our freedoms.
By golly, you've hit on something!
Hit DOD where it really hurts, right in the good ol' recruiting & retention stats!
"Sorry, recruiting sergeant, I'm not joining because the services are being overrun with out in the open queers and life in barracks or shipboard is already bad enough being jammed together like sardines without worrying about getting attacked in my bunk or the shower & what if my immediate supervisor is one of them, I can coldcock his faggy @ss but I'll get court martialed just for doing what's normal. No thanks, I'm out of here!"
Pains me to write this since I joined during Vietnam & retired just a year ago. It's true, hear me Lord.
***During my last sea tour, two of them mysteriously disappeared overboard during blue water operations;***
I mentioned something like this here on FR a few weeks back and someone accused me of getting my ideas on homos in the military from the movies.
I spent four years in the USAF and every year we had assembly were read the riot act about homos in service, then had to sign a paper showing we had been at the assembly.
In basic we also had to serve one day of KP at the out processing HOMO barracks.
we were told we would see things unbelievable and we were not to laugh, point or joke about it.
To: Ruy Dias de Bivar
Expect an increase in Friendly Fire and Lost at Sea reports.
I'm guessing your understanding of the U.S. military stems from an overconsumption of hollywood movies.***

Our country is lost. Our government endorses and is proud of sin. The Lord Jesus Christ will and is removing his hand of protection.
Like ancient Israel when they backslid into sin our fate is to be scattered and to go into captivity...either economic or physical.

Standards for The Nature of Science
The following concepts are appropriate for assessment at the given levels:
By grade 4, students should understand that science is trying to find out what happens in the natural world. Through careful observation of objects and events, they should be able to develop explanations for their observations. Students should also understand that different people may notice different things, and therefore may explain things differently.
Students are surrounded by and interact with the manmade world as much as with the natural world. Therefore, they must develop an understanding of what shapes the design and development of the technologies that are a part of that manmade world and their daily lives. Rather than being a content area, technology is embedded within this section because of its close association with science. The following concepts are appropriate for assessment at the given levels:
By grade 4, students should understand that any design requires making tradeoffs and that advantages and disadvantages must be weighed.
Standards for Themes of Science
Themes are the "big ideas" of science that transcend the various scientific disciplines and enable students to consider problems with global implications. To understand the conceptual basis for the themes that have been selected, students must begin to develop an understanding of major ideas by the fourth grade. They should continue to develop their understanding through the 8th grade, and by the 12th grade, they should have the ability to integrate their knowledge and understanding.
Three of the themes are common to all of the documents: Models, Systems, and Patterns of Change.
Models of objects and events in nature can be used to understand complex or abstract phenomena. Models may be first attempts to identify the relevant variables to build evermore useful representations, or they may be highly refined for predictions about the actual phenomenon. Students need to understand the limitations and simplifying assumptions that underlie the many models used in the natural sciences. A model is likely to fit data well only within a limited range of circumstances and to be misleading outside of that range.
Systems are complete, predictable cycles, structures, or processes occurring in natural phenomena, but students should understand that the idea of a system is an artificial construction created by people for certain purposes, for example, to gain a better understanding of the natural world or to design an effective technology. The construct of a system entails identifying and defining its boundaries, identifying its component parts and the interrelations and interconnections among those parts, and identifying the inputs and outputs of the system.
Regardless of the topic around which the Patterns of Change theme is developed, students should be able to recognize patterns of similarity and difference, to perceive how these patterns change over time, to remember common types of patterns, and to transfer their understanding of a familiar pattern of change to a new and unfamiliar situation.
Examples of Themes by Grade Level
Students should understand that systems are artificial constructions created by people for certain purposes, such as gaining a better understanding of the natural world or designing an effective technology.
Understanding the construct of a system entails identifying and defining its boundaries, identifying its component parts, identifying the interrelations and interconnections among the component parts, and identifying the inputs and outputs of the system.
Grade 4
Systems should be approached at the level of organisms. Students should have broad and rich acquaintance with structure/function relationships as a precursor to a more thorough knowledge of organ systems by grade 8. Understanding examples of food chains and interdependencies among organisms, say, within an aquarium, are precursors to understanding complex systems.
Patterns of Change
Patterns of Change is a particularly valuable theme in the life sciences because a conceptual understanding of patterns of change can be developed in the context of several different levels in the hierarchy of biological organization. At the cellular/organismal level, the primary patterns of change are the growth and development that occur throughout the life of organisms. At the population level, the primary patterns of change are the changes in population growth over relatively short periods of time and the evolutionary changes that occur over longer periods of time. At the community/ecosystem level, the primary patterns of change are those that involve the nonliving and living components of ecosystems during the process of succession. Patterns of change may be linear, or they may be cyclical; for example, many of the patterns of change that occur within cells are related to homeostasis, in which a change leads to feedback reactions that result in a return to conditions that existed before the change. An understanding of cyclical patterns of change can also be developed in the context of ecosystems (nutrient cycles) and organisms (life cycles).
Regardless of the context in which an understanding of the Patterns of Change theme is developed, students should be able to recognize patterns of similarity and difference, to recognize how these patterns change over time, and to transfer their understanding of a familiar pattern of change to a new, unfamiliar situation.
Grade 4
Understanding patterns of change at the organismal level:
- life cycles (including growth and metamorphosis)
Understanding patterns of change at the population level:
- concept of biotic potential, birth rates, and survival rates
- diversity of many types of plants and animals (an important preconcept for the understanding of evolution)
- variation within species (focus on humans, dogs, and cats)
Understanding patterns of change at the community/ecosystem level:
- food chains (also important for the systems theme)
A more general understanding involves the notion that everything changes, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly, and that changes may be too rapid or too slow to observe directly.
The models theme has been selected because of the importance of enabling students to distinguish the idealizations of models from the phenomena themselves. Students need to understand that a model of the human eye does not represent all aspects of human eyes as they occur in human organisms. The model is a simplification, leaving unrepresented many important variations in human eye structure, yet the simplification has utility in illuminating some features of the eye and enables new questions about the eye to be generated.
Students need to understand the limitations and simplifying assumptions that underlie the varied models used in the natural sciences. For example, beliefs that models are replicas of real objects or events can negate the critical concept of variation that many models do not take into account. Although generalized models, such as a generalized graph of growth in populations, are useful, they are not to be confused with a graph of the growth of a particular organism or population or with a graph of data from a single experiment.
Grade 4
At this level, models should be identified by students as representations of objects or events. Students can examine both conceptual and physical models in terms of how they are like and not like the object or event being represented. Examples can be models of insects, seeds, leaves, and other physical objects. These models and others in the sciences can be linked to children's experiences with scale models of cars, dinosaurs, doll furniture, and so forth.
Example Science Content Standards
Grade 4—Earth Science
A. Solid Earth (lithosphere)
1. Composition of the Earth:
Students can classify substances such as soil, sand, or rock.
Students can identify common geographic features of landscapes.
2. Forces that alter the Earth's surface:
Students can describe/explain basic facts about major features of the Earth's surface and natural changes in those features (for example, volcanoes, glaciers):
Students can predict the effects of weathering (for example, rain and wind on sand piles, mud piles, rock).
Students can describe the relative difference in time it takes to erode a sand pile, a mud pile, and a rock pile (Conceptual Understanding, Patterns of Change).
Given a picture, topographical map or globe, or word description of a major Earth feature (for example, canyon, mountain range, Great Lake, cavern, island), students can identify a geologic force that contributed to producing that feature (Conceptual Understanding, Models).
3. Rocks: Their formation, characteristics, and uses:
Students can identify common rocks and minerals and can explain how we can investigate what they are made of and how they form:
Students can classify rock samples according to color, texture, or other identifying properties (Scientific Investigation, Nature of Science).
Students can explain that molten rock comes out of volcanoes, hardens, and becomes part of the landscape (Conceptual Understanding, Patterns of Change).
4. Soil: its changes and uses:
Students know some facts about the composition of soil.
Students can separate soil samples into component parts (Scientific Investigation, Nature of Science, Systems).
Students recognize that plants grow in soil and that soil provides both nutrients and support for the plant.
Students can classify and relate major solid types of soil (for example, clay, sand, loam, subsoil) to their ability to support plant growth; that is, students can identify/predict the major plant types likely to grow in those soils (Conceptual Understanding, Nature of Science).
5. Resources from the Earth used by humankind:
Students can identify Earth resources used in everyday life.
Students can identify common uses of rock in the human environment (for example, buildings, roads, walls) (Practical Reasoning, Nature of Technology).
Students can explain/identify that gasoline is processed from oil, which is pumped from the Earth (Practical Reasoning, Nature of Technology).

Men are less apt to perceive talking to infants as beneficial; the more positive a relationship a parent has with her mother, the more likely she is to perceive talking to infants as worthwhile; and children in foster care are three times more likely to be diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Compared to adolescents and adults, children rely on the ethics associated with autonomy and less on the ethics related to community.Continue Reading
Recent findings that were presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics 2015 National Conference & Exhibition in Washington, D.C. indicate that there is a strong correlation between foster care and an ADHD diagnosis. After reviewing Medicaid outpatient and prescription drug claims from multiple states across the United States in 2011, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that children in foster care were just as likely to have prescriptions for ADHD medication, but that they also were more likely to receive psychological care simultaneously. Moreover, children in the foster care system were more likely to have concurrent disorders, such as depression, oppositional defiance disorder and anxiety, than their peers not in foster care.
Of children enrolled in Medicaid between the ages of 2 and 14, those in foster care received a diagnosis of ADHD at a rate of 1 in 4, whereas youth not in foster care received the same diagnosis at a rate of 1 in 14.Learn more about Parenting

This is just a brief thank you to all of you who have read, and sometimes commented on, this blog in the past year. I began Another Old Movie Blog one year ago today. Some 189 posts later it's still a joy, if sometimes a challenge, to write about old films in the context of the times in which they were made.
It's been a wonderful sentimental journey. Thank you for the pleasure of your company. See you tomorrow.

NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton are promoting the nation's new health care law in advance of a critical sign up period.
The joint appearance is a rare conversation between two political figures who were once campaign trail foes but who have joined forces behind a common goal.
Clinton is playing the role of interviewer, prodding Obama to tout the law's benefits and its connection to the economy. Obama says Americans are scared by the prospect of change but that he's confident they will be swayed by its advantages.
The event comes one week before people who don't have health insurance can start signing up at new insurance marketplaces. It also comes 20 years after Clinton called on a joint session of Congress to overhaul the nation's health care.

WAYNE, Pa. - October 23, 2013 --A Montgomery County CFO is facing embezzlement charges after police say he stole over $1.4-million from his company.
Tredyffrin Township Police say Guido La Vella embezzled over the money from Taylor Gifts, where the 29-year-old worked as the company's Chief Financial Officer.
La Vella allegedly used the stolen money to buy high-end automobiles, jewelry and Philadelphia Eagles tickets.
Prosecutors say he also spent close to $50,000 for a meet and greet with the Dave Matthews Band.
The embezzling reportedly began back in 2009 and ended when La Vella abruptly resigned this year.

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 7, 2016) - Cartel Blue, Inc. (OTC PINK: CRTL) is pleased to announce that due to its newly created eco-friendly hemp fabric apparel division, EOC Underground, Cartel Blue is now listed on the Marijuana Index (MarijaunaIndex.com) under its Marijuana Stock Universe Hemp Products Sector.
The Marijuana Index and its Marijuana Stock Universe is the go to stock index for marijuana and hemp sector investors. The Marijuana Stock Universe is a searchable database of all marijuana and hemp stocks. Companies are required to have a material involvement in the marijuana or hemp industry. In addition, companies must have filed financial statements in the last year, and must maintain a minimum average daily trading volume. By 2020, legal market sales are expected to surpass $22B, and investors are looking to get their hands "green" by putting their money into marijuana/hemp investments or ancillary products. This past Friday, November 4, 2016, Cartel Blue, Inc. (CRTL) led all Marijuana Stock Universe hemp sector stocks with a 51.90% stock share increase.
The company's President, David Rhodes, stated, "While import of hemp fabric/apparel is legal in the United States of America, Cartel Blue/EOC Underground looks forward to the day hemp is grown and woven into fabric here in the U.S.A. That day is coming soon as states all over the country have or are in motion to legalize hemp as a commercial agricultural product. Now, being listed on Marijuana Index Marijuana Stock Universe hemp sector will give Cartel Blue/EOC Underground the exposure benefit of investors wishing to take advantage of the excitement of marijuana/hemp relaxed legal restrictions widely expected as result from this Tuesday's election."
EOC Underground is an urban streetwear collection of men's and women's eco-friendly hemp/cotton t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, and soon to be added jeans, vests, scarves, and jackets. Hemp apparel fabric exudes superior properties. It is one of the strongest and most durable of all natural textile fibers. Apparel products made from hemp will outlast their competition by many years. Not only is hemp strong, but it also holds its shape, stretching less than any other natural fiber. This prevents garments from stretching out or becoming distorted with use. Although hemp may be known for its durability, its comfort and style are second to none. The more hemp is used, the softer it gets. Hemp does not wear out, it wears in. Hemp is one of the natural fibers that possesses increased strength and absorbency, even more than cotton. Hemp fabrics can also be recycled more easily than other natural fabrics. Clothing made from hemp is resistant to mold, moisture, UV and UVB rays, is not easily discolored, is antibacterial and regulates the temperature.
