text: SDG Report post Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) We don't have a Politics forum any more and for good reason. This post is not an attempt to do an end run around that exclusion. I am not interested in getting a conversation going here, much less a debate. This is an appeal for input. For a number of overlapping prudential reasons, I don't post a lot about politics on social media, but I don't post nothing either. I try to post strategically, picking my battles and maintaining a balance among the topics I post about. Another thing that has happened for a number of overlapping reason is that media coverage on Trump has been overwhelming. Every day is an avalanche — some of it wrong, and not all of it of ongoing importance. Trump, meanwhile, is doing that thing he does of diverting conversation to other topics. (Full disclosure: I am very far from the most politically savvy and informed of individuals, and I don't follow the news as closely as I wish I did. There are a lot of things I don't do that I wish I did.) I'm trying to step back and get some perspective and clarity on the big-picture angles that matter, but it's hard. When some critical sources worry that "President Trump has done a lot in only a month" and other equally critical sources claim that "President Trump has done almost nothing," it's hard to cut through the static and pin down the substance. One way to frame what I'm trying to do is this: Suppose you wanted to address Trump supporters who were underinformed about the most serious issues that have emerged from the Trump presidency in a way that they would find persuasive. Which big-picture issues and angles would you focus on? Note that this is not necessarily the same as the issues and angles that most concern you about the Trump presidency, unless of course you are or were a Trump supporter and are now concerned. Throughout the Trump campaign Trump opponents talked a lot — justly so — about sexism and womanizing, racism, Trump's business interests, and a lot of other issues and angles that were very persuasive to Trump opponents but which most Trump supporters blew off. Obviously in saying this I must immediately add that I realize there are a lot of Trump supporters who will never be persuaded by anything. So you have to pick your audience as well as your issues. Writers know it often helps to write your piece with one particular reader in mind, as if you were writing it just for them, even with a work (like a movie review) ostensibly addressed to a broad audience. With that in mind, I can think of a number of Trump supporters I know who are reasonable people who are open to dialogue, but who spend too much time immersed in the world of Fox News and other rightwing sources. They are not necessarily totally blind to issues with Trump but who were motivated by horror over Hillary, concern for the Supreme Court, and a few hot-button issues like abortion, religious liberty, and maybe Muslim refugees and national security (e.g., pointing to increased rape and violence in those European countries that have taken in a lot of refugees). If you know anyone who fits that description, or can imagine one, what issues would you broach with them? Follow-up question: Which online resources (news stories or analysis) would you cite — again, in an effort to persuade Trump supporters, to awaken or deepen concerns in them about the Trump presidency? The Michael Flynn resignation is the biggest thing, I guess. Is there currently one really good source to go to on that story? And now we're hearing that "High-level advisers close to then-presidential nominee Donald Trump were in constant communication during the campaign with Russians known to US intelligence" (CNN). Another bizarre angle: Apparently the White House kept Pence "in the dark for weeks about the warning it had gotten about national security adviser Michael Flynn from the Justice Department" (NBC). What other issues and angles are most promising? Edited February 15, 2017 by SDG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michaels Stores Inc., the national arts-and-crafts retail chain that has grown on the renewed popularity of scrapbooking and knitting, said yesterday that it is looking at selling the company.
The Texas-based retailer has created a multi-generational following by expanding into big-box shopping centers and capitalizing on America's growing appetite for arts and crafts. Kids buy art supplies for their school projects and adults often feed their sewing or cake-decorating hobbies. The company said it's for the "do-it-yourself home decorator."
The large stores carry thousands of items, from craft materials to picture frames to wedding-cake toppers and coloring books. The company has grown more than 5,000 percent in the past decade and today has a market value of $5.06 billion and no debt.

Today was all about the paper products. Yesterday I failed to mention I also made a Michael's run, where I picked up these super cute stamps for $1.50 each.
I figure they'll be great for stamping "thank you" onto outgoing boxes or even a business cards put in an order. The one on the left is also being used in my new book keeping attempt
I finally sat down and not only created an income/expense template (stamps for making if paid, shipped, received, etc), but also a full commission ordering sheet for when I open up books again, which right now is my goal.
There wasn't a lot of pony progress, but the order form makes me look forward to October when I'll start taking commissions again. I already have a waiting list!

Ketzel Levine: An Unfolding Storyline
How a veteran reporter lost her job and found her calling helping animals
by Ketzel Levine
Scene One: When the News Was All Bad
It was the worst of times. Period. After a 30-year association with NPR, having earned my wings as a senior correspondent, I was laid off. Wings clipped. The same day, five dozen of my wonderful colleagues were also let go in a carefully synchronized maneuver all too common in this take-no-prisoners economy.
The layoffs came fast and the subsequent shock left me numb. The numbness was a blessing. Until it wore off.
Millions of us in this country have had our jobs eliminated, perhaps even you. I can't shake the image of our clipped wings and tailspins as each of us reacts to the fall. Some of us land softly, perhaps relieved the threat of job loss is over. Some of us go into free fall; my heart breaks for those falling still.
What we've all likely experienced is the most innocent of questions prompting the toughest of answers: "Well, what is it you really want to do?"
My reaction used to be unkind. "I was doing it!" I'd spit and growl. More than a year of deep mourning had to pass before I could imagine wanting anything.
Then, several months ago, I decided to shake up my Etch a Sketch, as one friend called it, referring to that baby-boomer game where you doodled a drawing, gave it a shake, and the whole thing disappeared. I didn't want to wipe out my life, of course, but it was certainly time for a change. I decided to travel.
I chose Ecuador because I knew nothing about it and have always loved the possibilities inherent in the unknown. A friend who knew I was already learning Spanish recommended a language school in the colonial city of Cuenca. During the inevitable Google search, I also stumbled onto one of the country's few animal shelters, mere blocks from the school.
"Done," I said. Mornings studying, afternoons scooping poop.
Scene Two: Navigating a World of Need
Cuenca is a cobblestoned city with enormous charm. It also has desperate pollution, standard fare for a once-small Latin American city now overrun by traffic and liberal attitudes toward exhaust. The noise is deafening, and why not? Honking's just another kind of street talk.
For all those reasons, I couldn't live in the center of the action. Instead, for my three-week stay, I settled in at a deliciously ramshackle B&B outside the city, walking the few miles to and from downtown. And that's how I got to know the local street dogs: the Rasta-haired terrier mixes, the skinny, long-legged hounds, the happy packs of Mutts and Jeffs racing between cars. They'd have nothing to do with me, but I warmed to them quickly. Stray dogs are my fixed destination wherever I go.
As a fellow animal lover, you may be the same way. You're vacationing abroad in a place with strays, and before you know it, you're doing your Lady Bountiful thing and handing out gifts of food. Stay one day too long, and suddenly you're paying for veterinary care; get attached to a particular dog, and there goes the vacation (and the needs of everyone else!) as your focus shifts to the forms and shots needed to bring your new friend home.
I've always stopped short of buying that second plane ticket, but I've befriended many a homeless dog. I've greeted them in Cape Town, fed them in Costa Rica, worried over them in the streets of Brazil. I've managed to place a few with local families and have since added their pictures to my "foster kids" file, one that's dominated by intractable hounds thanks to my friends at Cascade Beagle Rescue here in my hometown of Portland, Ore.
Overall, though, my involvement in the field of animal rescue has been peripheral—miniscule, really, when compared to the world's inexhaustible animal advocates and selfless volunteers. I worked among several of them while in Cuenca, cuddling puppies, bathing beauties, and always, stooping to scoop.
As in many so-called "developing" countries, Ecuador's animals have a tough life. I was particularly undone by the street vendors standing in lunchtime traffic, passing puppies into cars for a closer look as if they were selling cheap bling. I was appalled the first time I saw them and carried on like a madwoman. I now see that my behavior was very "ugly American," showing a lack of respect for a culture that was—gasp!—different than mine.
Outrage is easy. Doing something is hard. Even right here at home.
Scene Three: Bearing Witness
Part of the trade-off in working for mainstream media is maintaining political neutrality. Unless I was on assignment, I could not personally attend rallies or fundraisers while working at NPR. I could not sign any petitions, make any charitable gifts, or advocate for any organization that might compromise my objectivity or suggest that NPR endorsed it.
On the other hand, I could advocate for stories that I felt mattered. And that's how I got to New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. I can still conjure up the chaos, urgency, and volunteer spirit as I witnessed the most heartbreaking and heroic animal rescue operation in American history.
As you've likely read, a great deal of the drama took place at a large fairground north of the city. The stage was the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center, where The HSUS, the Louisiana SPCA, and other organizations sheltered thousands of animals during six weeks of emergency operations. Dogs in horse stalls and temporary kennels, cats stacked in portable crates, all saved from starvation, abandonment, and confinement—in other words, certain death. Nevertheless, the place was a heartbreaker, filled with listless felines, irritable terriers, and incredulous lonely Labs.
Of the many stories told and retold, here's one that's stayed with me. It was early evening, shortly after sunset, when I saw what seemed a mirage: a long line of pit bulls emerging from the distance, walking toward a destination I couldn't see. Each dog was accompanied by a human in a slow-moving procession that could have passed for the two-by-two loading of Noah's Ark.
In fact, the dogs were headed toward a huge tractor trailer filled with wire crates. The truck was bound for Oklahoma, where local animal welfare groups awaited these tragically displaced dogs.
The scene itself was eerily quiet except for the hum of the refrigerated truck. That and the murmurs of volunteers, mostly female, kneeling beside their animals and stroking them softly while whispering encouraging words. One woman—her name was Becky—was getting her faced bathed by an affectionate chocolate brindle pup. The dog was in heaven; Becky was in tears.
I haven't a clue what happened to any of those dogs. But a picture like that, what does it do once in your brain? Does it forge a new path through your neurons and forever change your thinking, or is it just a moment that touches your heart? For me, at the time, it was a poignant story to be told with appropriate detachment. And that's what I did.
Scene Four: Animals to the Rescue
Fast forward to my stay in Ecuador, where my Katrina experience came howling back to me with all my professional detachment gone. Everything I'd witnessed in New Orleans resonated with all I was now seeing in Cuenca, along with my own commitment to animals and vegetarian principles over the last 40 years. No longer in mainstream media and free to pursue my own political agenda, I began to sense a certain inevitability about where I was headed: the great wide world of animal activism, including rescue, welfare, and animal rights.
A tad vague? Tell me about it. But who was I to argue? The signs were all there, including a meant-to-be meeting with a classical pianist and animal activist named Valentina León. Ms. León had created one of Ecuador's most impressive dog refuges through her organization, ARCA (Activism, Rescue and Conscience for Animals). From the get-go, I knew I wanted to work on ARCA's behalf. I also wanted to work with the Galapagos Preservation Society, an animal rescue group active on Ecuador's Galapagos Islands, where feral dogs and cats were threatening the islands' one-of-a-kind species. And I had a vision of my own in a deep, green valley high in the Andes: a Colegio de Perros or High School for Dogs, where the brightest of strays would receive world-class training and compete with purebreds for celebrity cachet.
I still want to do all these things, and I've begun to help Valentina León. Thanks to a few good people, I've recently raised a third of ARCA's monthly $3,000 budget. It's a small amount that will do a lot of good.
Arguably, it's a first step. But honestly? I've no idea toward what. Nor do I have a clue how I'm going to earn a living as I pursue this oh! so lucrative field. Here I've put you through my job loss, taken you on my search for meaning, and reported that I've seen the light. Next step in this hero's journey should be fulfillment, plus an inspiring tagline: Listen to your heart and do what you love!
Forgive me. I'm no hero. What I am is a middle-aged fledgling not at all sure what's beyond the nest. Sometimes it makes me sad, having once flown so high. Sometimes it makes me happy, feeling so new and free. Either way, right now, it's all about the flapping as I set out to again earn my wings.

James Alderdice closed the last of three criminal cases against him Thursday, pleading guilty to two federal charges and admitting again that his International Gold Bullion Exchange was a fraud.
``I feel bad about what happened,`` he said after leaving the courtroom of U.S. District Judge James Paine in West Palm Beach. ``I feel sad and sorry.``
Last month, Alderdice, 28, pleaded guilty in Fort Lauderdale and New York to other charges stemming from the operation of the precious metals company on the condition that he be allowed to serve the sentences in all three cases at the same time.
Paine told Alderdice he would be sentenced sometime in the next six weeks and faces as much as 10 years in prison.
Paine said his decision on how much prison time to impose will be greatly influenced by a pre-sentence report that a probation officer will prepare.
Alderdice ``knows he`s going to spend some time in jail,`` said defense attorney Thomas Sclafani. ``Maybe for 10 years, hopefully for less. I hope to convince Judge Paine to make it less.``
Alderdice stood by quietly and directed most questions to his attorney. He said little in the courtroom other than a periodic and polite ``yes sir`` to the judge.
Investors had mixed emotions about the outcome of the cases.
New Jersey businessman Peter Allocca said he hopes, regardless of the amount of prison time, that someday he will be compensated for about $183,000 he invested.

MILAN/LONDON (Reuters) - European shares fell on Monday as concerns over China weighed on mining stocks and OPEC anticipation dented the oil sector, while financials were led lower by Julius Baer, which tumbled after its chief executive unexpectedly quit to join a rival company.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell back 0.5 percent, surrendering after signs of a reversal earlier, as weakness across cyclical sectors left defensive real estate and utilities stocks the only gainers.
Jitters over China's demand for metals drove mining stocks down 1.2 percent, the worst-performing sector.
Falling crude prices ahead of Thursday's OPEC meeting also weighed on oil and gas stocks, with Tullow Oil and Subsea 7 among the biggest fallers.
Tech stocks, the best-performing this year, also tumbled 0.7 percent after a downbeat note from Morgan Stanley on the sector.
Deutsche Bank equity strategists said fading growth momentum in the euro area in 2018 will favour defensive and bond proxy sectors, which they forecast will outperform cyclicals.
Deal-making was also a central focus on Monday.
Insurance stocks gave back earlier gains after Allianz struck a deal to buy out France's Euler Hermes.
Shares in Germany's biggest insurer were buoyed by the deal, but slipped back to close down 0.7 percent after it agreed to buy the shares it did not yet own in the French credit insurance firm for around 1.85 billion euros.
Analysts said the deal made strategic sense for Allianz, whose shares have risen more than 30 percent over the last 12 months, but that it looked expensive.
"Allianz seems to have waited a long time to pay a high price for this obvious piece of minority clean-up," KBW analyst William Hawkins wrote, adding the deal presented negligible risk as Euler Hermes had effectively been run as a subsidiary.
Euler Hermes shot up 20 percent.
Commerzbank was initially boosted, but ended the day unmoved after Swiss paper Neue Zuercher Zeitung am Sonntag reported UBS had formed a team to look into strategic options such as buying parts of the German lender.
Shares in UBS, which declined to comment, edged down 0.8 percent.
Julius Baer was the weakest among financial stocks, down 6.2 percent after CEO Boris Collardi resigned suddenly, with immediate effect, to take a post at rival Pictet.
Analysts said there were concerns the move could also result in the loss of client assets.
Elsewhere, chipmakers such as ams and Infineon fell with traders citing a drop in Samsung Electronics after Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock, saying the global chip memory boom could peak soon.
Shares in ams were down 4.6 percent. They are the top-performing among tech stocks in Europe this year, up 279 percent year-to-date.
Danish pharmaceutical company Lundbeck dropped 7.2 percent after Nordea analysts lowered their target price for the stock
Among country benchmarks, Germany's DAX fell 0.5 percent with investors keeping a close eye on efforts to form a working government.
Leaders of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative party agreed on Sunday to pursue a "grand coalition" with the Social Democrats (SPD) to break the political deadlock.
Among top movers on the STOXX were also shares in Belgian supermarket firm Colruyt, down 4.9 percent after Deutsche Bank cut its price target on the stock, while French tech company Ingenico, up 3.7 percent, was supported by a Morgan Stanley upgrade to equal-weight.

Picture spending roughly one hundred dollars on a piece of equipment that you expect to perform as the device was intended. People who enjoy electronics often have this expectation. So we're the ones who get infuriated the quickest when they don't work out of the box, but we're also the ones who take to the internet immediately to resolve their issues.
About a year ago, my blu-ray player stopped working. It worked at one point, then stopped. I was infuriated. Cyberlink PowerDVD 7.3 was acting up and it provided me with errors that had incoherent detailed explanations. I tried to troubleshoot by updating PowerDVD using their automated tool. This was a futile effort, and just made me more upset. It would download an automatic update and I'd get nowhere. Avoid this at all costs. Do any updating manually.
Today, with new confidence, I said I can fix anything on my computer. So I applied that confidence to this problem. Just update all of your relevant drivers. My hardware was fairly old (from ~2009) so my NVIDIA GTX 275 and blu-ray drive needed some updating. Because it was OEM, I resorted to the update for 7.3. You can check your version by clicking on the top left corner of the Cyberlink interactive screen.
I got my Cyberlink PowerDVD upgrade from here.
I got my NVIDIA driver update from here.
Doing either/or probably will not solve the problem. After you install each, restart. You should be good to go. If not, clearly the problem is something else, and you may have a difficult road ahead with Cyberlink support. Cyberlink PowerDVD is not as fun and easy as it should be, but once it's working, who cares because you're staring at cars exploding in blu-ray quality.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit with core i7 chip at 3.06 GHz.

1. Headingley 1981: England seemed to be heading into a innings defeat and the betting odds were 500-1 against them. Dennis Lillee and Rod Marsh sent the Australian bus driver around to the betting tent to place £10 and £5, and then watched as Ian Botham and Bob Willis pulled off the greatest Ashes comeback in history.
4. Edgbaston 2005: The moment when Andrew Flintoff went over to congratulate Brett Lee on his heroic innings in England's two-run victory showed the good sportman side of the game and proves that winning isn't everything.
7. The Oval 2001: When Steve Waugh ripped his calf muscle at Trent Bridge, the initial diagnosis suggested that his tour was over. Refusing to belive it Steve Waugh spent three weeks in intensive rehab, then returned to play the final Test at the Oval, despite being only half-fit.He went on to make an innings of 157 not out.
10. The Oval 1985: Ian Botham, wearing a dodgy blond mullet, was at his fastest and most irresistible. As the team pushed towards a declaration at the Oval, he came out and smashed his first ball – from Craig McDermott – back over the bowler's head and into the pavilion for a six.
13. Southend 1948: It wasn't a Test match, but Australia's feat of scoring 721 in day against Essex would become one of the most famous moments of the "Invincibles" tour. Still, the lack of any real competition failed to stimulate Keith Miller. Miller stood aside to let himself be bowled first ball, and said to the wicketkeeper "Thank God that's over".
16. The Oval 2005: The urn at stake. And after a Glenn McGrath double-strike had ripped out two wickets in consecutive balls, England were wobbling 68 for three. Kevin Pietersen walked out to the middle, gathered 15 runs in comparatively leisurely fashion, and then edged a dolly of a catch to Warne at slip. Who dropped it. In the next over, Pietersen slog-swept two sixes off Warne and England were away.
19. Lord's 1993: Mike Atherton was at his best at Lord's as England battled for survival in the second Test. After making 99 off 215 balls in the second innings, Atherton was sent back by partner Mike Gatting, lost his footing, and was run out by Ian Healy. England lost their last four wickets for four runs and were beaten by an innings. That was the as close as Atherton came to a Lord's century.
22. Sydney 1998-99: Darren Gough would get his revenge four years later, when he dispatched Ian Healy, Stuart MacGill and Colin Miller with a brilliant piece of bowling at the end of a long day. It was 100 years since England's last Ashes hat-trick.
2. The Oval, 1948: Bradman's second ball duck is one of the most unforgettable moment in Ashes history. For more info see the 'Bradman's Invincible's' page on my website.
5. Old Trafford 1956: Jim Laker's match haul of 19 for 90 comes close to being the greatest statistical feat of all time. In all the games of Test and first-class cricket, no one else has managed more than 17 wickets in a game.
8. Brisbane 2006/7: Steve Harmison's first ball in the 2005 Ashes series would be remembered for one specific reason – it almost missed the wicket and was fielded by Andrew Flintoff at second slip. Arguably the worst ball ever bowled under pressure.
11. Melbourne 2006-07: Warne's final Test at his home ground, the MCG, in 2006 was definetly a memorable one. Warne took his 699th Test wicket in the third Test at Perth, then announced he would retire at the end of the series. The Boxing Day Test became the stage for Warne to make history in front of his home city by becoming the first bowler to take 700 wickets. Shortly before tea on the first day he clean bowled the England opener Andrew Strauss.
14. Edgbaston 1981: At 105 for five, Australia needed just 46 wins to win the fourth Test at Edgbaston. But in just 28 balls, Botham took five wickets for one run to give England the win. Swinging the ball at pace, Botham ripped through the Aussies even though he initally had to be persuaded to bowl by captain Mike Brearley.
17. Sydney 2002-03: In his final Ashes Test, Waugh entered the final over of the second day on 95 noit out. The bowler was off-spinner Richard Dawson. Waugh square-drove the fourth ball for three, received the strike back from Adam Gilchrist, and crunched the last one through extra-cover for 4 to make a hundred on the last ball of the day. He recieved perhaps the loudest ovation ever heard at the SCG.
20. Adelaide 2006-07: England began day five on 59 for one, a lead of 97, with a draw the only possible outcome. Ian Bell's run out sent panic surging through the England side, with Warne taking four wickets to bowl out the tourists for 129. Australia still needed 168 to win with time running out, but a rapid 66 from Mike Hussey guided them home with room to spare, setting up a series whitewash.
23. Perth 1979-80: The Ashes may not have been at stake in this series, but when Dennis Lillee walked out to bat with an aliminium metal bat Mike Brearley complained to the umpires that it was damaging the ball.Dennis Lillee then hurled the bat theatrically across the outfield. The MCC would change the
Laws as a result of that.
3. Old Trafford 1993: Shane Warne's entry to international cricket started with the ball of the centuary on the first ball of the first over. The ball ripped sideways across Mike Gatting's defensive shot, and removed the off-bail so delicately that it made no sound. Gatting had to check with the umpire that he really had been bowled.
6 Sydney 1954-55: England were 1-0 down when Ray Lindwall hospitalised their un-known fast bowler Frank Tyson with a bouncer. He recovered quickly and proceeded to destroy the Aussies with some of the fastest bowling ever seen.
9. Another man injured by a Lindwall bouncer, Denis Compton had to be helped off the field with blood dripping from his forehead. Three hours later – after a few stitches, two drinks of brandy, and a quick net session to see if he could still see the
ball – he returned to strike an undefeated 145.
12. Lords' 1975: David Steele, a hardworking batsman from Northamptonshire, was an unlikely call-up to face Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson. He proved surprisingly effective, despite running down one flight of
stairs too many and finding himself in the lavatories of the Lord's Pavilion while coming out to bat.
15. Headingley 1997: Australia were 50 for four in their first innings when Matthew Elliott edged a head-high catch to Graham Thorpe at second slip. Thorpe dropped it, and
Elliott went on to make 199, sharing a huge stand with Ashes debutant Ricky Ponting. England captain Mike Atherton said: "Don't worry, Thorpey, you've only dropped us the Ashes."
18. Perth 2006-07: Gilchrist is probably the purest striker of a cricket ball ever. That was proved when Monty Panesar was hit for 24 in one over as Gilchrist completed a 57-ball hundred at the WACA. Gilchrist had not been in great form, but he cut loose against England's ragged attack. After reaching 50 with some delightful off-side shots, Gilchrist went through the gears with devastating effect to record the second fastest Test ton ever.
21. Melbourne 1994-95: The great Australian off-spinner Hugh Trumble had a thing for hat-tricks, claiming two of them in the space of nine Tests in the early years of the 20th Century. But no one else could manage the feat in an Ashes contest until Warne removed Phil DeFreitas, Darren Gough and Devon Malcolm in successive balls, fully 91 years later.
24. Perth 1994-95: Glenn McGrath was wicketless in his first Ashes Test at Brisbane, but in his second, at Perth,the scoreboard showed the following:
First innings: Atherton-caught Healy-bowled McGrath-runs=4. Second innings: Atherton-caught Healy-bowled McGrath-runs=8. In total, Glenn McGrath would dismiss Mike Atherton 19 times. No Test batsman has ever been dismissed more often by an individual bowler ever in the history of cricket.

Warman's Field Guides are the perfect size to take along on your antiquing excursions. Learn more about the Warman's Field Guides at shop.collect.com.
If we were to list my favorite antique shows from A to Z, we would probably begin with Z. Zoar's 37th Annual Antique Show & Sale took place Aug. 7-8 in Zoar, Ohio, and it is far and away one of the best shows we have attended this year.
Show managers Jan and Richard Wilks of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, did another outstanding job this year.
Brenda and I have been drawn to this quaint circa 1814 German Village for more than 20 years now. Our daughter participated more than 20 years ago and set up outside with the American Artisans & Crafts. After visiting with her, we strolled into the giant antique tent, and the rest is history. They must be doing something right to bring us back to shop year after year. That special draw starts with the historic setting, which includes the original working bakery, Zoar Gardens, and an 1800s town that is full of flavor.
This year, the Antique Tent was packed with 65 dealers from many states, and each one brought something special to the show. Brenda and I visited with many of the dealers prior to the show, and they were very optimistic. We followed up with them later, and almost unanimously, they will return next year. Gloria and Bo Beaven of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, said, "The show went pretty well on Saturday, we sold a large cupboard (furniture has been slow for a long time). It slowed on Sunday, but in total, it was a good show. Attendance was just great!" ?
|Greg Smart from Twin Gables, Minn., had an eye-catching array of items. This Bushell's golf tin cigar advertising sign featuring a nattily dressed woman golfer was especially nice. It was priced at $1,795, and marked Conshocton, Ohio. Smart also displayed a very large clock from the capitol, dating from the 1800s.
|Neil Zuelhlke, from Hartland Wis., showed an array of 18th- and 19th-century American furniture. His political display was the focal point of his booth. He sold several items from this display in the first hour or so of the show. The circa 1879 box is paint decorated. Neil found it at a farm in Wisconsin. It has forged hardware and is all handmade, with a price tag of $300. The hand-carved eagle is a very early model, depicting the flat head style. It was priced at $125. This was Neil's first Zoar show, and he is returning next year.
|Jack & Kathy Newman of Wake Forest, N.C., operate Everlastings, Harvesting from the Past. They featured a gathering of American Country, primitives, home decor, and rug hooking supplies. The most interesting item we spotted in their booth was a child sized cot, a salesman's sample. The found it at a local flea market, and it dates from the 1930s. It was value priced at only $95. She also had linen cloth dolls with painted faces, excelsior stuffed, and painted wooden hands. A mammy doll was reclining on the cot.
|Ron and Kathy Wright of Spring Street Antiques on Main in Burton, Ohio, are shown with their favorite item: a rare Peaseware set dating from the late 1800s. David Mills Pease established the distinctive wooden ware in Big Creek, Lake County. He had three sons who also worked in the same art field. In 1876, at the Philadelphia Exposition, they won all of the awards. Peaseware was produced until 1932. Shown here is the spice canister, with seven jars with lids and the round holding box. This set was priced at $2,400. Ron and Kathy are collectors as well as dealers of this art ware.
|Carol Weiss of New York does all the New York shows. She goes to France twice a year and brings back morsels from the past. She specializes in textiles and yellow ware. Her favorite quilt is a Boutis, which first is quilted, the intricately stuffed and channeled to give a magnificent texture. A fine example of one of these quilts was priced at $2,500.
The rare heart-shaped yellow ware mold she is holding was priced at $500.

November 2011
The averaging period used for the following assessment was 1981-2010.
UK Overview
A generally southerly flow in the first three weeks brought many very mild days. There was plenty of cloud at times, and some persistent fog over eastern England, but any rainfall was showery and mainly confined to the west. During the last week a vigorous westerly air stream brought longer spells of rain and strong winds, especially to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Areas towards the south-east remained drier with further mild days. The few frosts that occurred were mainly confined to northern areas.
The mean temperature was 2.5 °C above the 1981-2010 average, resulting in the second warmest November in over 100 years with only November 1994 warmer. The number of air frosts was among the lowest for November in the last 50 years. Rainfall amounts ranged from above normal in western Scotland and Northern Ireland to below normal over north-east Scotland and most of England and Wales and they were well below over areas of eastern England. It was particularly dry across parts of East Anglia, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Sunshine amounts varied from well above normal over northern Scotland to somewhat below across much of the Midlands and southern England. It was the sunniest November on record over northern Scotland.
A maximum temperature of 19.2 °C was recorded at Tregarth (Gwynedd) on the 13th. A minimum temperature of −6.1 °C was recorded at Redesdale (Northumberland) early on the 7th. In the 24 hours ending at 0900 on the 18th, 125.6 mm of rainfall was recorded at Alltdearg House, near Sligachan, Isle of Skye. A wind gust of 90 mph was recorded on Fair Isle on the morning of the 27th.
Weather Impacts
The unusually mild autumn weather across the UK resulted in widespread reports of flowering plants and bird, insect and animal activity more typical of warmer seasons.
The relatively dry conditions across parts of the Midlands and eastern England continued to cause concerns about the water situation there next year.
On the 20th and 21st, thousands of air travellers faced disruption as fog caused delays and cancellations to flights using Heathrow and London City airports. Poor visibility also affected road travel in the south-east and other parts of eastern England.
There was a very stormy last week. Severe gales across the Western Isles on the 24th caused travel disruption, with some ferry cancellations and bridge restrictions. Northern parts of the UK were again battered by very strong winds over the weekend of the 26th / 27th. The winds brought difficult travelling conditions with restrictions on many of Scotland's bridges and cancellation of ferry services, while 400 homes on Orkney were affected by a power cut. On the 27th, a cargo ship sank in heavy seas off the North Wales coast with the loss of several crew members. Heavy rain overnight into the 29th caused flooding across much of central, western and southern Scotland with some properties flooded and roads and train services badly hit.
England Diary of Highlights
Airstreams from a southerly quarter brought many very mild, settled days in the first three weeks. There was plenty of cloud at times, and some persistent fog over eastern areas, but any rainfall was showery and mainly confined to the west. Conditions became much more unsettled in the last week, with a cooler westerly flow and strong winds at times. The mean temperature was 2.5 °C above the 1981-2010 average, making it the second warmest November in over 100 years, with only November 1994 warmer. The number of air frosts was among the lowest for November in the last 50 years. Rainfall amounts were generally below normal, with many counties recording about half the normal amount and only around one third in parts of the east. It was one of the driest Novembers on record in Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Sunshine amounts were generally close to or somewhat below normal.
1st to 5th:
The first few days were unsettled with bands of rain and heavy showers crossing most parts. Over 20 mm fell across much of the south-east from 0900 on 3rd to 0900 on 4th, with 56 mm at Alice Holt Lodge (Hampshire). However temperatures remained well above average, with maxima around 17 °C reported widely on 3rd.
6th to 12th:
A change to more settled conditions with high pressure becoming established to the east of the UK. An air frost occurred in northern areas overnight 6th/7th, with the temperature falling to −6.1 °C at Redesdale (Northumberland). Conditions were rather cloudy for most, with dense fog patches developing across many central and eastern areas. Weather fronts tried to push in from the west by 9th, bringing rain to the south-west. Similar conditions on 10th, 11th and 12th with outbreaks of rain remaining mainly in the west and cloud and fog in the east. Despite this, temperatures remained well above average.
13th to 16th:
The settled weather continued, with high pressure over Scandinavia bringing south-easterly winds. A very mild day on 13th with maxima over 16 °C across much of the south and 18.1 °C at Otterbourne (Hampshire). Most parts remained dry with cloudy skies, but sunny spells towards the north-west. Maximum temperatures were lower where cloud and fog patches persisted.
17th to 21st:
A west/east split, with rather cloudy conditions and some patchy rain across the west and cool foggy conditions in the east. Where sunshine did occur, temperatures were once again above average, with 16.2 °C at Gravesend (Kent) on 17th. From 18th to 21st fog patches across central and eastern parts become persistent and dense, with lower daytime temperatures.
22nd to 30th
An unsettled theme for the rest of the month, with several deep areas of low pressure passing north of the UK. Colder air overnight into 23rd, with one of the first widespread ground frosts of the autumn; the temperature fell to −2.3 °C at South Newington (Oxfordshire). Cloud then increased in the north, with heavy rain across Cumbria, but elsewhere remained mainly dry. Rain continued across the north-west into 24th. Elsewhere remained rather cloudy and dry, but windy. Further rain spread across all areas on 25th, clearing the south-east early on 26th. Western areas saw more rain on 26th, but the south-east remained largely dry. Rain quickly cleared south-eastward early on 27th to leave a fine, sunny day. It remained windy but, despite this, temperatures rose to around 14 °C in the south-east on 27th with 14.8 °C at Hastings (East Sussex). A widespread air frost in the south-east early on 28th, with −5.0 °C recorded at Upper Lambourn (Berkshire), before rain spread into the west. The 29th was very unsettled, with a squally band of rain moving eastwards; a gust of 58 mph was recorded at Plymouth (Devon). Temperatures in the morning reached 13 °C widely, with 13.9 °C at Leeming (North Yorkshire), but colder air followed the rain. Heavy showers continued through 30th, especially in the west and near the south coast.

'Til the last X is strangled with the entrails of the last Y
Wow there sure are a lot of dishes to be done! What the hell have I been doing with my time this week if I haven't been blogging? (Nothing good, that's for damn sure.)
What a beautiful weekend. The light's somewhat magical the way the last rays break between the monstrous and artless high-rises and I'm almost starting to enjoy the persistent odor from the apartment below, which is a combo of tomato sauce and cigarette smoke (which is surprisingly irritating when you're not enveloped in it daily, isn't that funny?). I cooked food, did computery things, saw friends from out of town, and brought the tomato plants inside so that I might slow their inevitable decline. There are six or seven blossoms between the three of them–at this rate, we might have tomatoes by December.
I found a fortune from a cookie I ate at the China Chalet (hard C, soft C) a few years ago, truly the best fortune ever: "A man must be true to himself, even if that self is frightening and strange."
Speaking of which, I also watched this video, which is the most fucking amazing thing ever:
Perhaps you haven't yet read this entertaining story (found over at Metafilter, in a thread which is at least as interesting as the piece itself) from the Independent earlier on this week: Masters of illusion: The great management consultancy swindle:
The savvier consultants and their clients understand that the basis of the business is not technological but anthropological – and that this is not always a bad thing. Among human beings, it turns out, the perception of expertise, however unfounded, can sometimes be used to good purpose. As the shamans who poison chickens and the soothsayers who read entrails have long demonstrated, sometimes it is more important to build a consensus around a good decision than to make the best possible decision; sometimes it is more useful to believe that a decision is sanctioned by a higher authority than to acknowledge that it rests on mere conjecture; and sometimes it is better to make a truly random choice than to continue to follow the predictable inclinations of one's established prejudices. Consultants, following in the footsteps of their pagan forebears, understand that they must adopt the holy mien of a priestly caste.
Other interesting things I read include Zombieology, from this month's Lost magazine:
Other television projects of mine might see fruition, but Babylon Fields is, sadly, gone forever — 20th Century Fox owns it, lock, stock and barrel, not only for "all eternity" (according to the contract I signed), but also everywhere "within the known universe," meaning that if someone wanted to film a new version of Babylon Fields on Mars, the studio could and would sue them. That is, of course, unless they pay for turnaround, the full cost of the dumped pilot, somewhere in the neighborhood of seven million dollars. Outside of "the known universe," however — in, say, a parallel dimension where the Nazis won WWII — presumably remake rights are free and clear.
Also, Jack Shafer's typically prickly (yet oh-so-lovable) take on the Annie Le murder:
Had the Le murder happened at, say, Oklahoma State University, you'd have to bribe the night editor of the New York Times with a case of scotch and Hasty Pudding tickets to get him to run a one-inch wire story. Hell, a Stanford murder wouldn't warrant this sort of coverage!
As for me, personally? I have yet to write much of interest these days, but according to the registrar I apparently graduated with a 3.92 GPA without realizing it–talk about a Great Swindle, folks.

The Dong Nai General Hospital admitted ten workers yesterday afternoon from ASIA Garment Manufacturer at the Amata Industrial Park in Bien Hoa city presenting symptoms of gas poisoning, including nausea, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Two people were in a serious condition and required emergency treatment.
On the previous day 95 workers, including the ten admitted to hospital yesterday, were exhibiting similar symptoms, reporting a strong ammonia smell before becoming ill and, in some cases, collapsing and having convulsions. According to the workers, even after the ammonia smell had dissipated they still felt dizzy and, after having dinner, some fainted.
"Ammonia hasn't been confirmed as the cause of the sicknesses as final test results are still to come," said Mr. Huynh Minh Hoan, Director of the Dong Nai Department of Health. "It could be because of other factors." Monday's incidents is claimed to have been caused by leaking gas from the refrigeration system at the Amanda Foods Company, which is located next door to ASIA Garment Manufacturer.
Leaders in the southern province visited the hospital and provincial authorities requested the company evacuate its 800 workers from the factory.
ASIA Garment Manufacturer is willing to pay for the workers' hospital fees and their salary as they recover. The company is now working with authorities and neighboring companies at the industrial park to resolve the issue and prevent any reoccurrences in the future.

On the confused uses of fractals by artists, and some mathematicians' sense of art: on productive misunderstandings.
The Drunken Conversation Between Chaos and Painting
Essay (1992).
Download the essay.
An essay about the mutual misunderstandings between chaos theory, fractal dynamics, and painting in the 1990s. That was a "drunken conversation" because the artists usually misunderstood chaos theory, and the mathematicians (such as Mandelbrot and Peitgen) had very odd ideas about the place of their mathematics in art history.
The general theme, the mutual misunderstanding of art and science, remains pertinent in visual art, and someone should write a non-polemical piece about it: misunderstandings like the ones chronicled here can be productive, and so they are not like the mistakes that Sokol and Bricmont chronicle. The differences point to different discourses. Such an analysis might go some distance to relieving the reductive pressure that the "Sokal affair" put on interdisciplinary conversations.
(These themes are also pursued in the introduction to Visual Practices Across the University, elsewhere on this site.)
This version is unillustrated, but it can be followed without the illustrations.
Published in Meaning 12 (1992): 55–60.


text: Alright I found info on travel between the two airports but it was kind of confusing. Has anyone made the exchange and if so could you tell me the cheapest way possible? I'm flying from JFK, New York to Heathrow, London. From there I take a plane from Gatwick, London to Malpenza, Milan (RyanAir)


text: Yeah, by new year's resolution I mean only one because if you have more than one resolution than it'll be pretty hard to stick to your goals. Anyways, my resolution is to be mature. I admit I was pretty damn immature in 2009. Maturity could save me. With maturity comes a good attitude, time management, wisdom, etc. Some people say that maturity is a process that happens whether you like it or not, it doesn't happen overnight. Well, I disagree. The first step is to actually want to become mature, then work towards it and look at your actions and thoughts and think how you can improve yourself. My first step was uninstalling all video games. It was a hard step, considering the fact that many of my "characters" had items worth a lot of money, and it took time to build. But, think about it. Video games are anything but positive. Sure, they are "fun," but it's a sacrifice I have to make. Video games got in the way of everything in my life ever since I was in the 5th grade. It would inhibit me from improving my social life, attitude, education, and personally most important, internet marketing. Now that all my games are uninstalled, I can focus more on what really matters in life. My second step is to surf BHW less. Well, I've got that down. I've been visiting BHW on a 2-3 day basis, and I only check the CL and affiliate programs sections (and the lounge occasionally). And one of my last posts was made about 10 days ago. That's a start. My third step is to develop a solid attitude. Sometimes I'm quite pessimistic, and when I feel down I just give up, not realizing that tons of other people experience life 10x harder than me. I want to realize that I only have one life to live, and not being happy is unacceptable. Yes, this is still one new year's resolution even though it looks like three steps, but if I had been mature I would not have a problem with video games, or wasting time surfing BHW, or having a bad attitude. With better time management, I will be making a lot more money, improving my social life, and getting better grades. With maturity, I will be able to question what I'm about to do with a "Will this be of any benefit to my life? If not, don't do it!" So, what is your new year's resolution?

A man is taken to the hospital after the SUV he was riding in flipped several times on Highway 287 just east of Electra.
Our crew at the scene was told the driver of the SUV feel asleep at the wheel and the vehicle crossed the center median, hit two traffic signs and then rolled in a field just off the roadway.
A 90-year old man was taken to United Regional. A woman and child also suffered injuries in the accident and were also taken for treatment by ambulance. The driver of the vehicle was not hurt.
The Business 287 ramp was shut down while crews cleaned up the accident scene.

…that's a really long time to wait, right? I called yesterday morning to follow-up and ask for my results, and no one has called me back yet. Should I call again today? I don't have the results, but they had no issue charging me the lab fee for them.
