North Stonington, farmer reach compromise
North Stonington - Following the advice of a Freedom of Information hearing officer, selectmen compromised last week with a property owner who made several allegations against the town.
Van Brown, owner of Firefly Farms, filed FOI complaints about several actions and records relating to the Board of Selectmen's decision to pursue legal action against him, although he withdrew the majority of his complaints after hearing officer Clifton Leonhardt told him that they did not fall within his jurisdiction.
One of the farmer's complaints, however - an allegation that he was unable to access Board of Selectmen meeting minutes when he visited town hall late last year - appeared to have some merit, said Leonhardt.
On either Dec. 30 or Dec. 31, 2013, Brown visited the town clerk's vault in the New Town Hall and asked to review the Board of Selectmen minutes. When he could not find the minutes he was looking for, Town Clerk Norma Holliday said the more recent minutes were stored in a vault in Old Town Hall adjacent to the first selectman's office and consulted with First Selectman Nicholas Mullane to see if Brown might take a look at them.
Brown was unable to review the minutes on that date.
Town Attorney Nicholas Kepple, who argued the case for North Stonington at the hearing, said the minutes are normally available to the public but that the office was understaffed because of the holidays, making it difficult to respond to Brown's request. The town later emailed him a packet of the agendas and minutes that he requested, including those of four meetings that were unavailable on the town's website.
"I think this public inspection thing, with the minutes (kept) in the first selectman's office, is kind of dicey" as to whether it meets the standard of public accessibility, said Leonhardt after listening to accounts from Brown, Kepple, Holliday and Robin Roohr, Mullane's assistant.
Because North Stonington is a small community and "you have some interest in continuing to get along," Leonhardt suggested that Kepple, Brown and the selectmen try to reach an agreement among themselves.
Brown agreed to withdraw his complaint in return for the town making an effort to make meeting records more accessible. The town, said Kepple, would improve the website by regularly posting minutes of all boards and commissions.
And by the end of that week, said Kepple, the town would "deposit the selectmen's minutes in the clerk's office and make the clerk's office the repository of those records," allowing the public quicker access to a complete set of the Board of Selectmen minutes.
Although they were able to resolve the Freedom of Information dispute amicably, the town and Brown are still heading to court over the former YMCA property on Button Road, which is now home to Brown's Firefly Farms.
The two parties are at an impasse over the ownership and use of the 125 acres, which was given to the Norwich YMCA as a gift in 1972 with a deed asking that the land revert to North Stonington to be used as open space if the YMCA no longer used it.
Town officials believe the property may rightfully belong to North Stonington and hope to claim 35 acres of it. They would also like place restriction on the other 90 acres, requiring it to remain open space as the original owner requested.
During a 1988 town meeting - two decades before the Y's 2009 bankruptcy - North Stonington residents voted to release the reverter clause. When the paperwork was filed a year after the vote, it released the town's claim on the entire 125 acres - which Mullane has said was a misinterpretation of a vote that was meant to apply only to 28 acres, allowing the Y to make a land swap.
Because of the release of the reverter, Brown was able to buy the property in a 2011 sale that the town has disputed ever since.
In May 2013 referendum, residents voted that the town should accept an offer made by Van Brown to give the town $100,000 in return for it releasing all interest in the property. The referendum stipulated that the town must use half of that money to start an open space fund.
But the referendum included the "condition that the State of Connecticut deems the open space fund dedication sufficient" to meet the open space preservation intent of the original landowners.
The state has not yet made a ruling in that regard.
The legal dispute between Brown and North Stonington is headed to mediation on Sept. 9.

Meadows of Dan, Virginia is the only place where the Crooked Road, Virginia's historical music highway crosses The Blue Ridge Parkway, so it's a logical place to stop for several days and use for a base to explore the region. Besides, it's the town where legendary banjo player Sammy Shelor lives and the location of the Corn Maze he and his wife Sue operate each fall. We stayed at Meadows of Dan for five days, during which time we visited Galax (see earlier blog entry) as well as journeying twice to Floyd. We also spent a lot of time hangin' out at the Corn Maze listening to music, and just plain enjoying the crisp autumn weather.
Sue Shelor, Sammy's wife, operates Mountain Meadow Farm and Craft Market, in which she sells fresh produce, some bakery products, and a wide range of locally produced crafts. Patrick, Grayson, and Floyd counties contain so many fine craftspeople that having an attractive outlet within a few hundred yards of a Parkway exit must appeal to them. The shelves of Sue's shop are loaded with such. Sue herself produces some of the pottery sold there. Everything in her shop is crafted in Patrick County, and there are several other gift stores and craft outlets in Meadows of Dan, including a large candy outlet.
Sue Shelor
A Visit to Floyd
We drove about twenty miles northeast on the Parkway to the small country seat of Floyd County. At the last census there were just under 14,000 people living in the county, or a population density of eighteen housing units per square mile. Views from the Parkway offer frequently untrammeled vistas broken by small subsistance farms. The frequent interference with the view from very large second homes found further south in the Smokey Mountains is most infrequent here in this part of Southwestern Virginia.
Floyd, the county seat, was a poor, perhaps even dying rural village until about a decade or so ago. The farm economy had declined along with the general condition of farming in this part of the world, and nothing else had come along to strengthen the economy. The village of Floyd has a population of 432 and, according to Wikipedia has recently seen a resurgence as it has become a center of live music, particularly bluegrass and old-tim, along with a thriving counter culture movement.
What is now the Floyd Country Store was established in the early twentieth century as Farmers Supply and operated as such until the end of the century when it fell into disuse. Throughout much of this time, even after the business there failed, musicians came together to play bluegrass and old-time music, while local people danced in front of a makeshift stage. In recent years Woody and Jackie Crenshaw have bought the store and refurbished it as a Country Store with a flexible enough space to permit live music to be played and audiences to enjoy the scene. During the day the store offers a wide variety of local crafts, manufactured goods suitable for country living, souvenirs, recordings, and a range of foods and candies. On the weekend evenings, the display carts are rolled out of the way to clear space for dancing and seating for the Friday night Jamboree, frequent concerts, as well as Saturday and Sunday jams. Upcoming Saturday concerts will be given by Claire Lynch, Kenny & Amanda Smith, and Amber Collins & No Speed Limit. These are ticketed events. Otherwise, a wide variety of old-time, bluegrass, and Americana music jams are scheduled, and a good time is had by all. Check the schedule and the list of performers to get a sense of the range available. On Friday, we were somewhat disappointed with the music, but there was standing room only, and the dancers were enthusiastic. A friend suggested to us that if the weather had been warmer, there would have been a good deal of action outdoors as well, reducing the size of the crowd inside and broadening the musical choices available. Admission to the Friday Night Jamboree is $5.00, Saturday and Sunday afternoon jams are free, and the ticketed events have a range of reasonable prices.

The Corn Maze - 2010

Each year Sue and Sammy Shelor host the Corn Maze along with country crafts, good food, and plenty of music, both bluegrass and country. The Corn Maze is planted on six acres of farm land that's been in the Shelor family for generations. Each year it expresses a different theme; this year commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Having seen mazes from the road for some years, I had no idea how deep into the maze one could quickly get. The paths twist and turn through the corn, and plaques with facts are placed in discreet places for children to collect corn facts. It's all good fun for children and adults. The details of planning, mapping, planting, and cutting to permit the maze to emerge are interesting, too, and can be found at the link above. The Corn Maze is open Thursday - Sunday in September and October.

Ashlee Blankenship & Blades of Blue is a promising young bluegrass band. Blankenship has a pleasant voice which wraps itself earnestly around the gospel songs she sings and embraces traditional bluegrass covers, too. Caleb Courtner on mandolin is an especially promising young picker.

County Sales
On Monday we took a loop drive to return to Floyd for a visit to County Sales, famous for being one of the most complete sources for bluegrass and old-time recordings, books, and other material available. Their standard price for all CD's is $13.50 a record, and they regularly send out online catalogs of special sales items. As we drove east towards Stuart, the country seat of Patrick County over the mountain and then north west through the valley to Floyd, we were continually stunned by the vistas appearing around every turn. It's as if the people of southwestern Virginia have designed a huge post card for people to enjoy as they drive through this marvelous region.

Along the Blue Ridge Parkway
On Tuesday morning we headed south into the Piedmont region of North Carolina, down the steep incline off the Blue Ridge, losing perhaps 2000 feet and gaining about twelve to fifteen degrees. We had a great time for nearly two weeks on The Crooked Road, and we'll probably be back. You should spend some time there, too.

HUDSON ��During a brief ceremony Father Joe Krupp of�Sacred Heart Catholic Church was recently installed as pastor of the church. Although he had been leading the church since July,�a visit�from Bishop Earl Boyea made it official. During the ceremony Boyea preached about the need to serve God together as a community and prepare for Christ�s return with love, devotion and care. Krupp is also serving the congregation of St. Mary on the Lake parish in Manitou. He said the parishioners of both congregations have welcomed him beyond what he had hoped for. �The first thing I noticed about Sacred Heart is it is a crazy beautiful church,� he said. �The church is a reflection of the people. It is striking.� Krupp came to Hudson and Manitou after serving several churches around the state. Krupp has also been pastor at Lansing Catholic High School and director of campus ministry at Michigan State University. After five months at the parish Krupp is still looking for a vision for the church. �I am letting the spirit guide me,� he said. �My goal is to be faithful, prayerful and loving and let a vision emerge as I encourage others. �As I get to know God's people here and get to know their hearts we can formulate something more concrete,� he added. Growing up in a Catholic family, Krupp said he fought the notion to become a Catholic priest. �I was crazy wrong,� Krupp said. After his first year of seminary he said he knew he wanted to dedicate his life to being a priest. �I am truly a happy man; I think I am truly the most blessed man in the world,� he said. During the ceremony Krupp renewed the vows he made at his ordination and signed an Oath of Fidelity. He said the biggest transition from working at a school setting and coming to a parish was the amount he had to learn. �The last parish was a huge place. Here, once I get the system down I will be much more comfortable,� he said. After the ceremony the Hudson Knights of Columbus hosted a dinner at the church to celebrate the paying off of a debt owed to the diocese for fixing the roof of the church.

Cherry Berry Pie Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 Entry #2
The next up in our Pie Bakeoff is an original Cherry Berry Pie from reader Deb. We're so impressed by the top crust on this pie; how pretty and clever (and probably easier than one of those pesky full-sized top crusts). Read on to see why Deb thinks this is the best pie ever (hint: agave sweeteners for sugar-free deliciousness), and to see lots more photos.
Where is this recipe from? My website: Altered Plates My version is a different take on Elise's all-butter crust.
Why is this the BEST pie recipe you've got? My pie omits the brown sugar and the water of the original, and uses agave nectar instead. Additionally, I use coconut flour for a portion of the all-purpose flour. It's still super-buttery, and very much like a shortbread crust. It's a huge hit with everyone who tries it. My friend Ken even said that he could just eat the crust alone. I often do, since there is usually enough to make a few cut out cookies as extras for "tasting" purposes.
It's a really flexible recipe, and I've used walnuts instead of almonds, as well as oat flour and whole wheat pastry flour instead of ap. In every case, the pie turns out a winner. The fillings run the gamut. Here's another example of some different fillings.
This version was such as hit at my friend Richard's July 4th party in 2007, people started hovering to make sure people would get their first slices so they could get their seconds!
It really is the best pie. It even works with really reduced amounts of Earth Balance when I've made vegan versions.
Cherry Berry Pie
Crust Ingredients:
1/4 cup coconut flour, sifted
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup almond flour/meal/finely processed almonds
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 sticks of very cold butter (I freeze mine), cut into cubes
3 1/2 tablespoons of agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon fiore di Sicilia
Crust Directions:
Prior to making your crust, place all the ingredients in the freezer for at least an hour. It makes all the difference.
1. In a food processor, pulse the dry ingredients until well combined.
2. Add the cubed butter, pulsing until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
3. Adding a tablespoon at a time, pour the agave nectar, then the fiore di Sicilia through the liquid holder in the processor until the dough just comes together. You're going to love this. It makes the whole house smell like a creamsickle.
4. Divide the dough into two parts, one larger than the other. Form each into a flat, round shape, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
5. While the dough is chilling, make the filling.
Filling Ingredients:
(I used frozen fruit, but please use fresh if it's in season locally).
2 16 oz frozen packages of cherries, thawed
1 8 oz frozen package of mixed berries, thawed
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup agave nectar (Use much less if your fruit is sweet)
4 tablespoons tapioca flour (or corn starch or arrowroot)
Filling Directions:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, stirring very well.
Pie Assembly Directions:
1. Take the dough out of the fridge and let it warm enough to be able to roll it out. Some folks even knead their dough a bit before rolling. I've done this and it lends an even flakier feel to the crust.
2. Fit the crust into your pie dish. You may need to patch some, but don't worry, none of it will show to your eaters. Wrap the crust in the plastic you used for the disc and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Pour the filling into the crust and dot with a tablespoon of butter cut into tiny pieces.
4. Again, wrap the pie in plastic and chill while you roll out the other dough disk and use your favorite cutter to cut pieces for the top crust. Take the pie out of the fridge and decorate the top as you wish. Just remember to leave spots for steam to escape.
5. Cover the edges with foil and bake at 325 degrees F. for about 40 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake until you have a nicely golden brown top and the filling is bubbling.
6. Let cool on a wire rack, then dig in!

Dozens of firefighters poured water onto a big fire early Monday at Camden Lock Market, which is a popular tourist destination in north London.
The London Fire Brigade said 10 firetrucks and 70 firefighters had been sent to the site shortly after midnight Sunday when a blaze erupted near Camden Stables. It said three floors and the roof of a building within the complex were on fire.
Seventy firefighters were called to battle the blaze, the brigade said. Three stories and the roof of one building were affected by the fire, according to an update from the department on Sunday night.
"#CamdenMarket fire update: the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors, plus the roof, of a building within the market are alight," the department tweeted on Sunday night.

Ambulance crews also rushed to the scene, but authorities said no injuries had been reported.
The market is very popular with tourists and Londoners, who are drawn to the area by the shopping and nightlife on offer.
"The fire was moving very fast," said witness Joan Ribes. "People were watching, but we were scared the building could explode at any time since there are restaurants with kitchens nearby."
A different part of the market complex was ravaged by a fire in 2008, and vendors were not able to operate for several months.
Monday's fire came less than four weeks after a fast-spreading blaze engulfed the Grenfell Tower apartment block in west London, killing at least 80 people.

Probably amused this galge gamer is using his knowledge to woo girls to fall in love in order to capture spirits.
More amused that Keima tried to capture her demon partner.

Just read 113, and I love how it was presented. It seemed to come alive (as in, animate itself) as I was reading it, very well done. The discussion they had was a good one as well.
Akari is very much becoming one of my favourite characters. Having her pair up with the sexy teacher isn`t a bad thing either!
Even after this much time has passed, my interest in this manga hasn`t dopped in the slightest.

Flag 113 has lots of copy&paste pics... Is it intentional or Wakaki can't keep up with the schedule?
Nikaidou borrowing power from Akari looks like a fail-safe to turn the manga into battle manga if the love romance part can't attract reader anymore. I hope not though, or else...

I'm an idiot I was checking all the spoiler tabs for chapter 113 spoilers because redhawk just released it but then I aciddentally reed chapter 114 spoilers.... I CANT UNREAD Them :S
As for Akira being a demon, it'll be interesting when Keima and Akira reunite, she'll greet him with a kiss lol... I wonder who'll be around to see that, she'll probably make an excuse like "it's a common greeting in europe" or something. lol.

But yeah, I seriously hope this doesn't shift to a battle manga. Sure it might become more awesome, but I can also see it becoming boring.

Interesting thing she already saw Elsee yet couldn't make a connection Keima is a buddy. Or did she? Knowing Keima is one she decided to play along, lying a bit to Nikaido. She got addicted to the kiss.
Course she could have dismissed Elsee as a girl close to Keima. This was while looking for a traitor in their ranks. Though one could say it is unlikely. Some would perceive this caused jealousy and possessiveness on Akari's acts of kissing.
Elsee is treated as a bunny ears lawyer with her capture count. The council of New Hell can't believe it and gave her a pay cut. Dokuro Skull was to give Elsee her recognition award but she cleaned the the grounds missing the ceremony. Elsee may or may not come to Akari's attention as demon nobility.

@ReddyRedWolf: Akari knew already from the contract choker, it was simply that she didn't care much about the fact they Keima was a buddy, and when did Akari lie to Nikaidou? Also, your last sentence is difficult to apprehend. Please clarify.
@NecocYaotl: Don't worry, if Wakaki-san learnt one thing from his previous series, it's the fact that his drawing isn't suited for a battle manga.
[spoilerAnd Kanon is a "yandoru," as Wakaki-san points out... But yeah, she won't harm anybody else except Keima~ Most likely Meganeko-san (the glasses-wearing, single horned New Devil) is onto Kanon...[/spoiler]
Btw, did you guys know Wakaki-san plays iDOLM@STER? He even praised it in Kanon's omake. Speaking of which, iDOLM@STER 2 is coming out... IMHO, majority of their songs are painful to my ears (thanks to loli voices), but I must say the song "THE IDOLM@STER" is excellent. (Especially the 2nd-mix)
iDOLM@STER 2 - PV3 - THE IDOLM@STER | Actual content starts from 0:53. Sw33t choreography.

Nikaido referred to the movie A Roman Holiday comparing Akari as a princess dating a commoner. In this movie neither the princess or the American reporter were aware of each others identity while dating.
As for the bunny ears lawyer. It means someone so ridiculous and looks ill fitting to his job yet appears to be a genius or magnificent bastard doing it. Elsee has an impressive rate of captures thanks to Keima. New Hell management thought they could use her for propaganda then thought better of it.
Though the term really applies to Keima with his galgamer background and using those talents to make girls fall in love.

Also, I know what it is. I'm no stranger to TV Tropes. What I meant was this: "Elsee may or may not come to Akari's attention as demon nobility."

Course this applies if Rimuel can't ID demons on sight. She's trying to find a traitor in their ranks. The meganekko demon is in school now but she didn't bite.

sadly,demon(girls) so far seem much better than their opposite-appolon in greck mythologie wasn't just a guy,he was also one of the smartest god,so making him a dumb idol,what a fall!

Preserving the Historic Road 2014
Savannah, Georgia, September 26-28, 2014
To view the final 2014 Conference Program
Savannah, Georgia, "The Hostess City of the South," provides a beautiful backdrop to our next conference, Savannah 26 28, 2014. Upon founding Savannah in 1733 General James Oglethorpe organized the now famous squares as military parade grounds among the residences, businesses and churches of the capital city of the 13th Colony. Beyond Savannah, American Indian roads transformed into colonial trade routes, such as the Kings Road, and were later used during the Revolutionary and Civil wars. These same roads evolved into the highways of the modern era, providing the lifeline between growing industries and the bustling Port of Savannah. These same roads further enticed travelers to southern vacationlands via the Dixie Highway and the Atlantic Coastal Highway (US 17). So journey on down with your fellow road enthusiasts and enjoy some fine southern hospitality!
The 2014 Preserving the Historic Road Conference, partnered with the National Scenic Byways Foundation, will provide a diverse and comprehensive conference program, which will include enlightening educational sessions, and informative mobile workshops to unique sites (featuring some great shrimp, grits and barbeque). The combination of these events will let you experience southern road culture, history and local issues that tie in to the national, and global, perspective of historic road identification and protection.
We hope this years conference transports you through history through the stories that roads create, whether they surround city squares or traverse as national highways. Historic roads are connections through time and place. We thank you for traveling to Savannah to participate in lively discussions, share your insights and experiences. Our goal is to ensure you have a memorable experience, filled with southern hospitality. Take home new ideas and strategies to help in your continuing efforts to tell your stories and preserve historic roads in your states and communities.

book covers the road's contribution to the cultural, economic, and
administrative history of the United States, its decline during the second
half of the nineteenth century, and its revival in the twentieth century in
the form of U.S. Route 40. The book provides valuable insights into the
story of the constitutional significance of the National Road as an early
federal investment in public infrastructure. For more information, CLICK HERE >>

El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro Inscribed in World
Heritage List
El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the Spanish colonial "Royal Road to the Interior" has been inscribed in the World Heritage List, August 2010. The listing reflects 55 historic sites (pavement sections, bridges, taverns, landscape markers, architectural monuments and town and city streets) that showcase the design, construction and cultural influence of the great sixteenth-century highway from Mexico City to Santa Fe, New Mexico (USA). This is one of the first historic roads to be honored by World Heritage recognition. At this time, only the Mexican Government has chosen to advance their section of the historic road for World Heritage listing--the historic route of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro in the United States is not a part of this listing, but has been designated as a National Historic Trail by the National Park Service.

Blood: The New Red begins at an after party where Mickey, and ex-adult movie star turned supermodel, is aligning himself with one of the top Designers of Seventh Avenue. While trying to land a job on the runway Mickey is thrown into the center of a scene where sex is often the motivation, the wine is served by year, and cocaine is back in full force. Juanita, Mickey's girlfriend is having difficulties staying sober, fully clothed, and off of her famous boyfriend.
Mickey goes to work for Fashion icon Paul Johnson, one of the two top Designers in NYC. The other is Sandy Johnson, another Designer who will stop at nothing including murder to guarantee victory. A runway exhibition has been scheduled for the two to compete in and find out who truly is the best Johnson. Mickey will be Paul's top model, and Sandy has found a homeless person nicknamed Kung Fu Master to show his line.
In addition to getting his new line in place, Paul Johnson is also buying chain saws, the louder the better, to put the special in this special event.
Did you know that you can't be sentenced to prison if actively seeking help at a mental facility? Paul Johnson knows this.
Somewhere between the girls, counting Vicodin pills, and show preparation Mickey has grown a conscience and no longer likes what he sees. He believes (and his psychiatrist agrees) that he has the power to change what's happening around him.
Read an excerpt!
Always look like a rock star. This is the number one secret on how to be famous. I'm wearing chains, lots of chains. Eye shadow, lots of eye shadow. I wouldn't say my pants are tight, but then again, my balls might disagree with you at the moment.
I'm standing on the second level of the Grand Hotel, overlooking the bar area. My manager tells me this is where I need to be standing. In five minutes I will move across the room and stand next to a long mirror where one of the Hiltons will walk by and notice my reflection. A photographer will be close by and be sure to get the picture. This mirror has been placed here for this sole purpose. My manager tells me not to stare at the mirror. If you asked me to list my weaknesses, this may be my number one fault.
DJ Shingles, the newest (which means hottest) DJ, is playing on a middle level between the first and second floors. There is barely enough room for him let alone the overflowing ashtray and oversized stocking cap. Rumor has it this is his last show, despite this being his first. There is talk that he is moving into production and will be working with a major player in the hip hop industry, depending on who is hot at the time. DJ Shingles is wearing an Armani black button-down shirt with the sleeves ripped off. Very last year, but this is more a statement than a miscalculation on his part. Last season is the new season.
My manager signals for me to make my way across toward the mirror. A reporter from GQ is following me and asking me questions about who I'm going to sign with and whether or not my past will affect my future. I get her number, tell her I'll call her later, and then blow her off as I approach the mirror. Always leak your press, never tell. This is secret number three on how to be famous.
Four widescreen televisions are fastened to the wall behind the bar. All are showing TMZ. An orange haired girl wearing a Betsey Johnson dress sees me staring at the television sets. She walks over and whispers in my ear, "It's the new CNN."
A waiter carrying a tray of wine from 1980 is walking by. Every 15 minutes another waiter, another tray, another year will walk by. Welcome to the world of fashion parties. Ten percent content, ninety percent presentation.
A man who goes by the name Dontay hands me a coffee cup that is full of scotch. My manager tells me to sip it and not cheers anyone. Any buzz that insinuates I've been in rehab and have put my porn career in the past is good press and can only help my modeling career. As scheduled, I'm approached by someone with the last name Hilton.
The Hilton is wearing a blouse that is considered the color Ocean, the new blue, but since Aquamarine blue was in fact the new blue for last season and last season is in this season, no one should be caught dead in Ocean. Unless of course she is being ironic. If so, she will have to mention this to at least three people during the course of the evening.
"Mickey, you're back! I mean, uh…" Hilton looks at the coffee cup. "Welcome back!" She tips her coffee cup to me.
I glance around at the guest list, wondering who has the most juice at the party, but am distracted by the waiter walking through with wines from 1990.
"Good year for cabernets," Hilton says, then grabs her blouse. "Last season is the new season, huh? Fuck that." She laughs and looks fidgety as lights pop around us. At one point Hilton puts her arm around me and kisses me on the cheek. FLASH. Mission accomplished.
"I miss you, Mickey. We should get together sometime, you know, have a cup of coffee, fuck, or something."
Sure, I tell her and then she leaves because she has a rule about spending over forty hours a week on the Lower East Side and this season many Fashion Week parties have been in LES, the new SoHo.
According to my manager, I need to make my way to a reserved table next to the bar where Paul Johnson is sitting. My manager also says to ignore the temptation of champagne. I have a job to do tonight.
When I approach, Paul gets up from his table and gives me a hug. "Welcome back, Mick. We've missed you." I tell Paul great show and congratulations on the new line, then look at the table and see they are all drinking 1986 chardonnay and there's a small mountain of cocaine in the center of the table. Paul looks at my cup and asks me if I need another coffee and I tell him I'm okay and then he proceeds to introduce me to the guests at his table, which include Lindsay Lohan, Jay Z, John Stamos, and four models I've never met but have bumped into during my previous job. One is a brunette with piercing blue eyes that I may have even shot a scene with but am not positive since I never saw much of her face. I pull out a pack of Camel non-filtered cigarettes and light one up. Paul asks me to join them. My manager agrees, so I grab a seat. The brunette tells me I look familiar, John Stamos says the same, and I grab a random razor from the ashtray and cut a line for myself.
Paul follows my lead, does a line and then lifts his head. There are still remnants of powder on his nose, but judging from his smile, he doesn't care. "Mickey, I want you to be my feature model, and I want to use you for my next project. What do you say?"
No one has ever turned down an offer from Paul Johnson, one of the top two designers in New York City. I consider saying no, just to make history, but my manager doesn't agree with this decision, so I put some cocaine on the razor blade and turn toward the brunette. On cue she lowers her dress, revealing her left nipple. I dump the coke onto the top of her left breast, move in, and snort it. She giggles and then says, "Now I remember you."
I excuse myself from the table because my manager has me scheduled to bump into Sandy Johnson near the men's restroom in three minutes. On my way to my spot, Dontay walks past and hands me a full coffee cup and slips me the number of John Stamos, "Just in case," he says.
Sandy exits the bathroom with his fly unzipped, hand in hand with Stan, his boy toy for the night, laughing and then flagging down a waiter holding a sign: 2002. My manager has strategically placed me between Sandy and the waiter so Sandy notices me and walks over. "Mickey! My God, you look fabulous!" Sandy gives me half-hug and cups my buttocks, then mentions that he has heard a lot of rumors involving me and the porn industry. I just laugh and tell him there's nothing wrong with franchising my body.
"Amen to that." Sandy turns to Stan and tells him to fetch him a glass of 2002 because he needs to talk business. Sandy surveys the scene and leans in to me. "Fabulous, isn't it?" I nod and then Sandy says, "Just murderous!"
Sandy moves next to me and puts his arm around my shoulder. "Did you see my show today?" It was great and congratulations I tell him but am cut off as he tries to say something, pauses, then finally says, "So I see you were talking with Paul."
I take a drink of Johnnie Walker and then say, "Yeah, actually he just offered me a job."
Sandy grabs his heart. "Oh, the betrayal! I think I'm going to faint." Stan appears out of nowhere with a chair for Sandy to sit down in and hands him a glass of wine. Sandy takes a drink and agrees that it is indeed 2002 and this seems to settle him. "Mickey, baby, we go way back. Your first runway, I believe. Honey, you need to come work for me, not that…" Sandy flickers over toward Paul, "beast!"
My manager tells me that I need to step outside because Juanita, my girl, can't get inside because she refuses to wear shoes and has just put out a joint on the bouncer's arm.
I tell Sandy thank you, and he says he'll be in touch. I lean into his ear and let him know his pants are unzipped and he says, "I know, it's the new sign."
I finish my cup of scotch and walk outside where Juanita is not only not wearing shoes but is also not wearing any pants, only a light purple Versace thong. The bouncer notices me and tells me that he doesn't have a problem with the thong, but there's a policy regarding the shoes. I let him know I understand and then buy a gram of cocaine off of him. I put Juanita in my limo and give her the gram to keep her busy. "I need to go inside and finish some business. I'll be right back," I tell her but she doesn't hear a word, already ripping open the gram and cutting three lines. "Thanks baby!" I hear her yell as I shut the door.
Back inside, my manager wants me to be on the right side of the bar because the glow from the light accentuates my features best. I look over and see Paul Johnson telling a story that I'm guessing involves a Hollywood movie star, too much champagne, and no panties while he decides which two models he is going to take home tonight. On the other side, Sandy Johnson is whispering into the ear of Stan and undoubtedly outing many of the stars here tonight. Presently, in between sips of three-hundred-dollar glasses of wine, they are pointing at Andy Garcia and nodding.
Paul Johnson versus Sandy Johnson, the two top designers in the city, fighting for the top spot. Fashion Designer of the Year. Earlier today Paul introduced a new line of furs despite the protest of PETA outside their tents at Bryant Park. At the end of the show Paul had all of his models come out onto the stage wearing nothing but fur and had a man with a wiry mustache throw goat blood all over all of them as Paul screamed, "It's the new red!"
Meanwhile, across the park, Sandy Johnson displayed his new men's line on the runway by having his male models hold the garments as they strutted naked and hard. Rumor has it there was no "fluffer" required. Sandy Johnson can be hands-on when required.
Both shows received standing ovations. The debate over which show was better continues. Paul versus Sandy, good versus evil, although in this case it is not clear who is playing which role. There was talk at one point that for Paul's next line, Eternal, a model would be executed on the runway.
As I light a Camel, my manager notifies me that Paul is approaching. "Mickey, be in my office first thing tomorrow." When Paul says tomorrow, he means 8AM tomorrow.
Too quick for even my manager to notice, Sandy comes up and asks me if I'm seeing anyone and I mention Juanita, which leads to a disappointed face and he tells me to stop by in the morning to discuss working for him. When Sandy says tomorrow morning, he means never.
My manager is noncommittal but pleased. We have accomplished our goal for the night. I glance over at Paul Johnson, then over at Sandy Johnson, the two kings, bitter rivals and not related. Simply known around the city as The Johnsons.
Walking out of the Grand, I look over at my limo. The window is rolled down and Juanita appears to have passed out. I walk over to my driver and tell him to take her home. As I turn back toward the club there is a TMZ camera in my face. "Mickey! Mickey! Who are you going with?" I light a Camel, remove my aviators, and look into the camera. "I'm going with Johnson! You can use that!" FLASH.
I reach into my pocket and grab the number of the GQ reporter and call her. We agree to meet at Lucky Sevens at Rivington and Stanton.
After we talk, she sends me a text message that reads: CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY LIPS AROUND YOU.
I go back to the doorway of the Grand (where I can hear "Mama Said Knock You Out" over the speakers), score another gram, stop off in the bathroom for a line, and then catch a cab to Lucky Sevens. In the cab the song "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis is playing. I cut a line and offer it up to the cab driver, who can't snort it fast enough. I do a line and sit back, smiling.
Act like you've lived this moment a hundred times over. This is the forty-third secret on how to be famous.

"Stuck somewhere between J.D. Salinger, Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis, author David S. Grant delves into the life of a modern misanthrope whose drug usage would make Hunter S. Thompson envious. Grant's laid-back style makes the misadventures of Jeremy and his drug addled buddies an easy pill to swallow. David S. Grant is an author to watch."

* First attack on major town since ceasefire deal
* Upper Nile is country's main oil producing state
By Carl Odera
JUBA, Feb 18 (Reuters) - South Sudanese rebels attacked the capital of oil-producing Upper Nile state on Tuesday, a spokesman for the regional administration said, the first fighting in a provincial capital since rebels and the government signed a ceasefire in January.
Philip Jiben told Reuters that rebels loyal to the country's former vice president, Riek Machar, struck at around 7 a.m. (0400 GMT) and that SPLA government forces were engaged in battles in Malakal's northern, southern and central zones.
Rebel forces could not immediately be reached for comment, but President Salva Kiir's government and rebels who support Machar have both accused the other of violating the Jan. 23 ceasefire deal brokered by neighbouring east African states.
The clashes will fuel concerns over the security of South Sudan's northern oil fields - an economic lifeline for the world's newest state - and raise pressure on both camps to revive stalled peace talks in neighbouring Ethiopia.
"The fighting is continuing, but our forces are still in control of Malakal," Philip Jiben, spokesman for the Upper Nile administration, told Reuters by telephone. Gunfire could be heard in the background as he spoke.
A U.N. official said he had received reports of fighting in Malakal but could not confirm them. The town fell into rebel hands after fighting first broke out in mid-December before the army recaptured it last month.
It was not immediately clear which rebel faction had attacked Malakal, a dusty market town on the banks of the White Nile. Machar says he controls all anti-government forces but analysts question the loyalty of some groups which have their own grievances against the Juba government.
Thousands of people have been killed and more than 800,000 have fled their homes since fighting was triggered by a power struggle between President Kiir and Machar, his former deputy whom he sacked in July.
The conflict has already forced South Sudan to cut oil production by a fifth to 200,000 barrels per day, all of which is currently pumped from Upper Nile. Oil accounts for 98 percent of government revenues.
Oil firms in South Sudan, a country the size of France, include China National Petroleum Corp, India's ONGC Videsh and Malaysia's Petronas. Work in some fields has been suspended.
Peace talks had been due to resume last week, but were held up by a rebel demand that four remaining political prisoners held by the government be released and the Ugandan military, which is supporting Kiir's army, withdraw from South Sudan.
Government officials privately acknowledge negotiations are unlikely to make progress until the senior political figures are freed. The government accuses the detainees of an attempted coup.

Strangers in our Midst
January 24, 2014
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Judaic message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, January 24, 2014.
Strangers in our Midst
This week's Torah Portion, "Mishpatim" (Laws) contains a blueprint for moral and responsible action that is commanded of the Israelites, who in last week's Parashah received the Torah on Mount Sinai. It contains what could be the most significant commandment in forming the Jewish sense of Universalism:
"And a stranger shalt thou not oppress, for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing that ye were strangers in the land of Egypt" - Exodus 23: 9
This one brief verse gives us so much insight into what has been called the heart of the Torah. Maimonides, the great 12th Century Rabbi/Scientist/Philosopher tells us that there are two ways for us, as human beings, to understand Moral Action. The first way is Torah: The Torah tells us much moral truth and commands us to be moral. There is another way to derive moral action, however, which is universal, even among people who aren't Jewish and among those who never even heard of the Torah and even among those who don't believe that the Torah is God's will: Logic. We can derive moral action logically. And, this commandment expects us to use logic. We were oppressed in Egypt. We know what oppression is. We can logically understand what oppression is by just thinking about what oppresses us.
The second universal aspect of this teaching is the essence of the commandment: treatment of "strangers." What moral wisdom! We often distrust the stranger. We are told, however, that even the stranger, the foreigner, the different, are worthy of our respect. Morality isn't only treating those like us with respect, it is treating EVERYONE with respect – even those who are entirely different from what we know and understand. Think of what this says about anti-Semitism, or bullying, or xenophobia, or homophobia, or misogyny, or elitism, or classism any of the other phobic ills of our society.
We must not oppress the strange and the different, for we too have been considered strange and different, and we know what it feels like to be the butt of unfounded hatred.
Shabbat Shalom

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Several states now require drug tests for people getting public assistance and deny it to those whose urine samples reveal drug use, The New York Times reports.
The states are among 36 that considered proposals this year linking benefits such as welfare, unemployment, food stamps, public housing and job training to results of drug tests.
Supporters say the policies ensure tax dollars aren't paying for drug abuse.
Opponents say the tests are based on stereotypes about the poor and that those receiving public assistance are no more likely than others to use drugs.
Laws linking benefits to drug tests have passed in states including Arizona, Indiana, Missouri and Florida, the Times said.
Florida requires those receiving cash assistance through welfare to pay for their own tests, and enrollment has fallen to its lowest level since the start of the recession.
"To me it's real simple: Money is going to go to the benefit of children, not to a parent using drugs," said Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican who campaigned on the proposal.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit last month challenging the law, saying the requirement violates the constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure.
Kimberley Davis, director of social services at Operation Breakthrough, which provides daycare to low-income women in Kansas City, Mo., said the state's required drug testing reinforces stereotypes.
"All this does is perpetuate the stereotype that low-income people are lazy, shiftless drug addicts and if all they did was pick themselves up from the bootstraps, then the country wouldn't be in the mess it's in," Davis said.
Most of the proposed drug-testing requirements have not won necessary support because of concerns about their legality dating to a federal court ruling a decade ago.
In that case, a court struck down a Michigan law that required drug testing for all welfare recipients, saying it violated the constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

Tom Secker undermines Professor Antony Sutton's claim that Wall St. funded the Bolshevik revolution. I think it's an analysis that is welcome but it doesn't really take into account that we are often referring to Jewish banking bloodlines when we discuss the sponsorship of centuries of war, carnage and toxic ideologies including Communism, Nazism and Zionism.
I don't think Tom's got the bottle to go down that route but if he has I recommend In the Shadow of Hermes as a starting point on Jewish Masonic Bolshevism.

40,000 Explanations For Why The Recording Industry Is Wrong About Business Models
from the start-counting dept
He also highlights how the idiotic focus on getting more per song just as everything else about music and technology gets cheaper is hurting the record labels much more than it helps them. He compares the situation to how expensive it was to use mobile phones a dozen years ago. People were scared to use mobile phones because the charges were ridiculously high. You only used it in special circumstances. Today, however, the rates are much, much lower and that's massively grown the market for mobile services. Do you think the mobile operators would prefer to go back to $1/minute charges? Yet, why does the recording industry insist on $1/song charges when the infrastructure can support an entirely different model. Instead, make the music cheap and easily accessible. Take advantage of the infrastructure that allows people to carry around 40,000 songs in their pocket. Sell iPods that are pre-loaded with all kinds of music and watch them fly off the shelves. The record labels (and their supporters) will claim that it doesn't make sense to sell music for less when people are clearly willing to pay $1/song, but that's misunderstanding the market potential. People were willing to pay $1/minute for mobile phone calls too. And they were willing to pay $150/month for broadband access. But as all of those things got much, much cheaper it opened the markets up much wider, provided all sorts of new applications and services that made them more and more valuable -- and helped make the companies much richer by providing better services at cheaper prices. Why can't the recording industry understand that?

India has a very rich tradition of classical dance. Each form has its own specialty & grace, along with a set pattern of costumes & make-up. Today the acknowledged classical styles are:
Bharatanatyam is a classic dance form originating in Tamil Nadu, a state in South India and is the known as the Indian National Dance. This dance form is a 20th century reconstruction of Cathir, the art of temple dancers. Cathir in turn, is derived from ancient dance forms. Bharatanatyam is usually accompanied by the classical Carnatic music. Bharatanatyam is considered to be a fire-dance — the mystic manifestation of the metaphysical element of fire in the human body. The movements of an authentic Bharatanatyam dancer resemble the movements of a dancing flame
Kathak, originated from northern India. This dance form traces its origins to the the nomadic bards of ancient northern India, known as Kathaks, or story tellers. These bards, performing in village squares and temple courtyards, mostly specialized in recounting mythological and moral tales from the scriptures, and embellished their recitals with hand gestures and facial expressions. It was quintessential theatre, using instrumental and vocal music along with stylized gestures, to enliven the stories.
Kathakali is a highly stylised classical Indian dance-drama noted for its attractive make-up of characters, their elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body movements presented in tune with the anchor playback music and complementary percussion. It originated in the country's southern state of Kerala during the 16th century AD, approximately between 1555 and 1605, and has been updated over the years with improved looks, refined gestures and added themes besides more ornate singing and precise drumming.
Kuchipudi (pronounced as 'Koochipoodi') is a Classical Indian dance form from Andhra Pradesh, a state of South India. The movements in Kuchipudi are quicksilver and scintillating, rounded and fleet-footed .Specifically there is the Tarangam of Kuchipudi which is unique in that the dancer must dance upon a brass plate, placing the feet upon the raised edges. The dancer moves the plate with much balance as the indiviudal is traditionally dancing on the plate with two diyas (small oil-burning candles) in his or her hands while balncing a "kundi" (small vessel) containing water on their head. At the end of the dance, typically, the dancer extinguishes the candles and washes his or her hands with the water from the vessel.
Manipuri dance is one of the major Indian classical dance forms. It originates from Manipur, a state in north-eastern India on the border with Myanmar (also known as Burma). The traditional Manipuri dance style embodies delicate, lyrical and graceful movements. The feet move is viewed as part of a composite movement of the whole body. The dancer's feet are neither put down nor lifted up at the precise rhythmic points of the music but rather slightly earlier or later to express the same rhythmic points most effectively
Mohiniyattam is a traditional South Indian dance form Kerala, India. It is a very graceful dance meant to be performed as a solo recital by women. The term Mohiniyattam comes from the words "Mohini" meaning a woman who enchants onlookers and "aattam" meaning graceful and sensuous body movements. The word "Mohiniyattam" literally means "dance of the enchantress".
Odissi is one of the classical dance forms of India.originates from the state of Orissa, in eastern India.The classic treatise of Indian dance, Natya Shastra, refers to it as Odra-Magadhi.It is particularly distinguished from other classical Indian dance forms by the importance it places upon the tribhangi (literally: three parts break), the independent movement of head, chest and pelvis, and upon the basic square stance known as chauka.
Sattriya the core of Sattriya Nritya has usually been mythological stories. This was an artistic way of presenting mythological teachings to the people in an accessible, immediate, and enjoyable manner. Traditionally, Sattriya was performed only by bhokots (male monks) in monasteries as a part of their daily rituals or to mark special festivals. Today, in addition to this practice, Sattriya is also performed on stage by men and women who are not members of the sattras, on themes not merely mythological.

"Two Heartbeats: Kabuto's Trap" (二つの鼓動 カブトの罠, Futatsu no Kodō Kabuto no Wana) is episode 140 of the original Naruto anime.
Naruto arrived just in time to save Sakura, but not before Kabuto told her that Sasuke was dead. Naruto told her not to believe him, after which a battle ensued. Naruto managed to defeat him with the Rasengan, but Kabuto trapped him with some chakra threads that connected their hearts; if Kabuto's heart stopped beating, so would Naruto's. As Kabuto attempted to kill himself in order to end Naruto's life, Sakura tried to free him, but only the special threads are unbreakable. Sasame arrived and gave Sakura a special Fūma clan tag to help save Naruto, only to find out that the Kabuto they had fought was actually Kagerō, who died after suggesting that Sasame should not know what Arashi had become. They finally found Arashi, who had been disguised as Orochimaru, who revealed that he had indeed changed.
- Back in February 16, 2008 on Cartoon Network's Toonami, this was the only Naruto episode to receive a parental warning.

UK Again Says That Mod Chipping Isn't Legal
from the you-bought-it,-but-you-don't-own-it dept
And... in somewhat related news, a bunch of folks have sent in the story of Microsoft cutting off what may be hundreds of thousands of players from Xbox Live for using modded consoles. Microsoft, obviously, is trying to stop players from cheating (one use of a modded console), which is understandable, and certainly within Microsoft's right. Still, the action does come across as a bit heavy handed. There are perfectly good reasons to mod a gaming console, such as to play unofficial games -- and as much as I understand the desire to stop people from cheating or playing pirated games, it still seems like you should be able to modify hardware that you legally purchased.
