Dear Leanne: What do you think about black walls in a dining room? We have a formal dining space in a character home and wanted to try something bold.
We have modern furnishings throughout the house and really like the way the two extremes work. I have seen this idea in magazines but only small portions are shown so it's hard to get a feel for the complete picture.
A: As a premise, I love the idea. Yes this look has been photographed in magazines and it is stunning- but often a bit too bold for people to commit to. First off, remember it is just paint, so you can change it if it doesn't feel right.
But in the spirit of using time and money effectively, you should consider a few things to ensure the effect in the end is the one that you had envisioned in the beginning.
The idea of using the architectural detailing as the structural support of a contemporary background can be both elegant and interesting. Take an inventory of the space itself as well as how it affects adjacent rooms.
Start with natural light sources for the dining room. Typically, character homes offer limited light due to the number and size of windows.
Another light factor to consider is that these homes frequently are enveloped by mature trees that also contribute to a reduction of light that enters naturally. Incorporating black walls will look stunning as long as there is adequate light to appreciate the effect.
I recommend a matte or eggshell finish for the paint to avoid glare from any light source. A gloss finish will reflect light too harshly. You do need to ensure you use a high quality paint to avoid the look of a chalkboard, but a soft finish will add a textural dimension that will provide a great backdrop for other elements you will add to this room.
Lighting options can be either contemporary or traditional. One popular fixture that would add flare to this project is the shade-covered chandelier. This is modern twist on a traditional look and maybe a perfect transitional element.
Another way to add light to this room is by adding art lighting to wall decor. This is a practical way of adding light while creating ambience.
Contemporary furnishings will be stunning against this background, but only if they offer visual contrast. If you have glass and chrome, for instance, the contrast will be effective. However, if your modern furniture is dark in tone you will need to add other elements to ensure design balance and visual boundaries.
In this situation consider the effect of wainscotting. Black could be effective above the horizontal divide and plate mirror or wallpaper could be applied to the lower portion.
Finally consider the fact that this colour is intended to be a backdrop, so add furnishings and wall decor that will add interest.
Consider framing art in a thin red frame, for instance, just to add a little pizzazz. This subtle splash of colour is like adding red shoes to the little black dress.
Dear Leanne: We have an eating area with windows on two sides and a set of garden doors on the other. This room gets a lot of afternoon sun in the summer and we drop our blinds to keep the heat out. Most of the time, the blinds are pulled up so that we have an unobstructed view of the backyard.
I would like to put up a valance (in a fabric identical to the chair seat fabric) to hide the stack of blinds at the top of the two windows.
Would a custom-made valance with grommets look current? Or would a roman pleat look better?
A: Both options would look stunning but you need to consider the fabric in this decision. Grommets may be a better option for a fabric that has a larger pattern repeat, as the roman pleat may disrupt the pattern with pleating. On the other hand, the roman pleat may add a design dimension to a solid fabric.
The window treatment should also complement the existing decor. Grommets can be a bold effect depending on the size and style of rod. This look is frequently used with contemporary styles. Roman pleated valances are often used in more traditional settings and offer a sense of elegance.
I do have a third option for you to consider. This one uses two decorative rods and finials for each valance treatment. The idea is that you create the valance as a simple flat pocket. If you are planning to have these created by a professional, they will determine the appropriate length, taking into consideration the blind stack, clearance for the garden doors and corner configurations.
The valance would then hang from the first decorative rod, in a typical fashion. However, the second rod would then be inserted into the bottom of the pocket valance and hang freely, weighing the valance down in a flat manner.
This style is dramatic as the rods and finials become stunning jewelry for your window. Iron rods and twisted iron or fabulous crystalline finials make this a spectacular addition that is equally at home with traditional or contemporary decor.
As you can see, you do have options. Use your fabric and current room decor as your guide for this treatment decision.

I've been doing tons of interviews lately about my new book. Some of them have been really good. But most of the people who interview me don't let me know where I can find the interviews on line. Here are two that did:
Interview on Shambhala Sun Space
Body Mind Spirit by Bob Gregoire
Also, my new column for Suicide Girls' new SFW (safe for work) blog is up here now. You guys have seen this article already. From next time (2 weeks from now) I'm gonna start submitting new stuff.
Here's something interesting a friend of mine sent me:
She told me she thought it was a parody at first. Unfortunately it's real. Is Yoga demonic?
The piece is really amazing in the way it offers a nice capsule view of all that is weird and wonderful in the way certain people on the religious right think of yoga and Buddhism.
You'll see that "Zen Booty-ism" (for that is what it sounds like the woman is saying) is condemned for encouraging people to empty their minds. Instead, we are told, Christianity asks us to "fill our mind with Christ."
I'm kind of curious as to where this notion that the object of Buddhism is to empty the mind actually comes from. Maybe there are Buddhist teachers out there somewhere who really do tell people to empty their minds. But I've never met one. The confusion may come from the use of the word "emptiness" to translate the concept of shunyata. So people know that these weirdos who are so into emptiness also sit silently for long periods of time, therefore they must be emptying their minds. Captain Kirk can tell you how horrifying it is to have your mind emptied.
This notion of filling one's mind with Christ is intriguing. It's hard to imagine what the person who mentions this on the video -- a psychologist no less! -- actually means. I have to guess that it means thinking and thinking and thinking about Christ. Perhaps one is to set up and fix an image of Christ in the mind, to imagine how he would perceive things, what he would do in various situations, his words and deeds as recorded in the Bible. One would then need to constantly compare oneself with this imaginary Christ. And, of course, no one could ever measure up.
Unfortunately, I think this is how some of us Buddhists deal with certain aspects of Buddhism. We agonize over whether we are measuring up to the standards set by the precepts or by the examples of the mythical great teachers of the past. Or we imagine that we ought to have an empty mind like folks in the video think we're trying to achieve and we beat ourselves up for not attaining true emptiness. We think we ought to be more mindful, more compassionate, more present. And damn it! We never quite get there! I know I have done a lot of this myself. It's because I grew up in a culture that held out this way of thinking as ideal.
But Buddhism isn't really demanding that we empty our minds or that we fill our minds with Buddha. It's asking us to honestly acknowledge who and what we actually are. In doing so, we can see clearly what we ought to do and ought not to do. Whether we can acknowledge this is another matter. Practice, practice, practice.
OK. Some of you have noticed the donation button on the upper left corner of this page. Thanks! As a way of making it feel a bit like readers are getting something for their money, I'm going to start answering more questions sent in from you folks out there. Send your questions to:
...and I'll see what I can do.
Again, a plug for the two events I'm doing in New York next week. The first is a book signing at 7 pm on October 15th at the Iinterdependence Project in the East Village. Be there!
The following two days, October 16th and 17th, we're having a two-day non-residential retreat at the Interdependence Project in the East Village. This is a terrific opportunity for anyone who wants to get a real taste of what zazen is all about. The retreat is open to beginners, no experience necessary. It will be focused on shikantaza style zazen as taught by Dogen Zenji. It's non-residential, which means you get to go out and have a night on the town in Manhattan afterward instead of being cooped up with a bunch of Zen nerds all night.
By the way, I gotta say some of the comments on the post just below this one are really terrific. For the first time ever I have to actually recommend that folks who don;t normally look at the comments section go take a look at those.

Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC reported January vehicle sales gains that topped estimates, as the U.S. auto market begins a fourth consecutive year of growth with buyers returning to showrooms.
Ford's deliveries of cars and light trucks climbed 22% while GM and Chrysler sales each rose 16%, according to company statements. The average estimates of 11 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was for increases of 17% by Ford, 15% for Chrysler and 13% for GM.
The U.S. automakers will join Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. among automakers benefiting from about 500,000 more returning customers whose leases expire this year compared with 2012, according to researcher Edmunds.com. The phenomenon shows the auto market, a bright spot in the U.S. economy, still has further room to recover from the recession that ended in 2009.
"We've had more consumers coming back into the market to buy, and they're getting financing," Melinda Zabritski, a credit analyst at Experian Automotive, said in a telephone interview. "We'll see returns similar to what we had pre- recession."
Ford's subcompact, compact and midsize cars all increased sales in the same month for the first time since June 2011. The Dearborn, Michigan-based company's deliveries of F-Series pickups surged 22% to 46,841.
Dart's Best
Sales for Chrysler, majority owned by Fiat SpA, climbed to 117,731 cars and light trucks from 101,149 a year earlier, led by demand for its Dodge models the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based company said today in a statement. The Dodge Dart compact had its best month since its introduction in June.
GM's deliveries of Chevrolet Silverado pickups climbed 32% to 35,445 while sales for the GMC Sierra truck increased 35% to 12,846. The Detroit-based automaker said inventory of full-size pickups still rose 5.7% from Dec. 31 to 234,342, or 117 days supply.
Automakers in 2012 managed to sell the most cars and light trucks in the U.S. in five years with fewer off-lease customers going back to dealerships. In all, about 2 million lease returns will occur this year, according to Santa Monica, California- based Edmunds' estimates.
The auto industry contributed 14% of the 2.1% average rate of growth for gross domestic product in the recovery that began in the third quarter of 2009 to the fourth quarter of 2012, according to data from the Commerce Department.

A silent auction will be held next month for a Durango cyclist who was run over Nov. 8 by a truck in Bodo Industrial Park.
Elizabeth Betsy Richards was riding her bicycle southbound on West Frontage Road when a driver in a northbound pickup turned left into a parking lot without seeing her.
The auction will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. April 3 at Irish Embassy Pub. Items such as artwork and cycling gear will be available, said Greg Smith, one of the events organizers. The proceeds will go to the Richards family to help with medical bills and other expenses.
Its such a great community for this kind of thing. Its one of the things that make this a great community to live in, Smith said.
Richards returned to Durango at the beginning of February after being treated for her injuries at St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, where she was airlifted after the accident. She suffered a broken wrist and multiple fractures to her pelvis.

A row of skinny, stucco-clad houses on an out-of-the-way street in a working class Montreal neighbourhood seems an unlikely example of cutting edge architectural princi-les. The nondescript two and three-storey homes on St. Madeleine Street date back to the mid-1800s. Built to house the workers at nearby factories, they are barely six metres wide.
One, a red-painted house at 507 St. Madeleine St., is just four metres across.
As urban planners, architects and developers confront urban sprawl, rising real estate and energy prices, and rapidly changing demographics, these narrow, old, working-class houses offer a glimpse of what sustainable living will look like in the future, says McGill University architecture professor Avi Friedman.
"Narrow houses consume less land and require less infrastructure. Fewer materials are used in their construction, so they are environmentally sound and cost-conscious," he says.
These quintessential Montreal rowhouses, in neighbourhoods like Point St. Charles, Rosemont, Verdun, St. Henri and parts of the Plateau, Friedman says, are paradigms of efficient design. With one or both sides attached to the building next door, they required less building material and cost at least 30 or 40 per cent less to heat.
Water consumption by residents of these attached or semi-detached houses is up to half what it typically is in detached suburban houses with their large lots and accompanying lawns and gardens. Narrow-house owners pay less in property taxes, too, as property taxes are calculated based on street frontage (among other factors).
Located close to work or public transit, on narrow streets not yet planned for car traffic, in areas with high enough population density to foster thriving, busy commercial streets nearby, Montreal's original narrow houses are examples of sustainable city living.
Friedman has spent much of his career espousing skinny spaces as an antidote to the suburban dream house. He grew up in a narrow house in Israel and now lives in a narrow house in Notre Dame de Grace, a suburb of Montreal. In the early 1990s, he and colleague Witold Rybczynski developed the Grow Home, a small, inexpensive and energy-efficient narrow-front house that won international acclaim and myriad awards for its efficient use of space. Builders from Quebec to the Czech Republic and Mexico built houses based on the Grow Homes design.
Despite the accolades, Friedman's four-metre wide, 1,500-square-foot houses were seen as an oddity back then. But fast-forward 20 years and thin is in. Narrow homes aren't just a product of necessity meant to fit a tight budget or a sliver of land.
For a long time, only people who couldn't afford bigger houses lived in small ones. But that's changing.
Growing numbers of homebuyers seek smaller houses that better fit the changing demographics of smaller families, single-parent households and aging couples. Around the globe, homes are cropping up in the tightest of spaces as a new generation of spacesavvy architects finds bold and creative ways to redefine "cosy."
"We tend to think of houses as fortresses of four walls. The bigger they are, the safer and more comfortable we feel," writes Joelle Payet in The Pop-Up City, an Amsterdam-based online project that explores new concepts for contemporary urban life. "But there is a movement afoot, a reconsideration of the suburban ideal of the large energyhungry home surrounded by lawn. It is spearheaded by an emerging breed of architects who are challenging this norm."
Aude Louis, a Montreal architect-designer who has tackled numerous narrowhouse renovations, says North Americans are just beginning to embrace the benefits of small and narrow, the way the residents of space-challenged European and Asian cities have for generations.
"In the old days, long and narrow meant dark and dreary. But a narrow space that is open and light-filled and airy is something else altogether," she says.
In her view, narrow forces homeowners and designers to use space in more creative ways and to pay more attention to form and function.
"Urban planners talk about the importance of density in building vibrant, healthy neighbourhoods.
And they are constantly looking for ways of halting sprawl. Well, right here in these old Montreal neighbourhoods are to be found some tried and true century-old solutions," Friedman explained as he took a visitor on a guided tour through Verdun and the Point.
In Pointe aux Trembles, more than 10,000 narrow homes, based on his original Grow Home design and built in 1991, have matured into a leafy, livable community where ivy grows up the sides of houses and kids skateboard through the streets.
Friedman beams with pride when homeowner Denis Lemay invites him in to show off his townhouse - just over four metres wide - complete with a home theatre in the basement, an airy and bright kitchen with glass doors that look out onto a backyard with gazebo, patio, swing and garden bed and an above-ground swimming pool.
"We raised two sons here and never, ever felt crowded," Lemay tells the architect who designed this house that he and his spouse purchased six years ago for $150,000. He points out the crown mouldings he's added and the walls he took down between living room and kitchen to make the first floor feel roomy and spacious.
"What I especially love is how compact everything is and how efficient. We pay $80 a month for electricity and heat. That's it."
Avi Friedman is the author of Narrow Homes: New Directions in Efficient Design (Princeton Architectural Press, New York).

Bases de données
The success of international police investigations is dependent upon the availability of up-to-date, global data.
At INTERPOL, we provide our member countries with instant, direct access to a number of criminal databases. These contain millions of records, contributed by countries across the world.
Maximizing the reach
All databases (except the one of child sexual exploitation images) are accessible real-time through the I-24/7 network which connects all INTERPOL National Central Bureaus (NCBs).
We are developing web server solutions to extend access beyond our NCBs to frontline law enforcement officers, such as border guards, allowing them to search the databases on wanted persons, stolen and lost travel documents and stolen motor vehicles.
I-link is a new operating system, being continually developed to improve the quality and uniformity of data, and to enable investigators to make links between cases that would not previously have been apparent.
Main databases
The figures cited below are accurate as of July 2013.
|Nominal Data – contains more than 153,000 records on known international criminals, missing persons and dead bodies, with their criminal histories, photographs, fingerprints, etc.

Notices and nominal data
INTERPOL's system of Notices is used to issue international alerts for fugitives, suspected criminals, persons linked to or of interest in an ongoing criminal investigation, persons and entities subject to UN Security Council Sanctions, potential threats, missing persons and dead bodies. Details are stored in a database known as the INTERPOL Criminal Information System, which also contains personal data and the criminal history of people subject to request for international police cooperation.
Child abusers and victims
The International Child Sexual Exploitation image database uses sophisticated image comparison software to make connections between victims, abusers and places. The aim is to identify, locate and arrest perpetrators, and to remove victims from harm.
Fingerprints, DNA profiling and face recognition can play a crucial role in solving crimes as they have the potential to reveal links between individuals and/or crime scenes. Just as importantly, they can help to prove a suspect's innocence.
Authorized users in member countries can view, submit and cross-check records in the fingerprints database via a user-friendly automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS).
DNA profiles
This database contains DNA profiles from offenders, crime scenes, missing persons and unidentified bodies. INTERPOL does not store any nominal data linking a DNA profile to any individual.
Face Recognition
The Face Recognition System database provides a dedicated platform to store and cross-check images for the purpose of identifying fugitives, missing persons and persons of interest.
Border points are critical locations for preserving national security. INTERPOL provides a range of databases to help detect and prevent the fraudulent use of travel papers and administrative documents, thereby restricting the movement of criminals or illicit items.
Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD)
The SLTD database contains records on lost, stolen and revoked travel documents – such as passports, identity cards, UN laissez-passer or visa stamps, including stolen blank travel documents.
Stolen Administrative Documents (SAD)
The SAD database records stolen official documents that serve to identify objects, for example, vehicle registration documents and clearance certificates for import/export.
Counterfeit documents
The Digital INTERPOL Alert Library – Document (Dial-Doc) is a joint G8-INTERPOL initiative, which allows countries to share at global level alerts produced nationally on newly detected forms of document counterfeiting.
Comparison of genuine and fake documents
Edison (Electronic Documentation and Information System on Investigation Networks) provides examples of genuine travel documents, in order to help identify fakes. It contains images, descriptions and security features of genuine travel and identity documents issued by countries and international organizations.
Stolen motor vehicles, vessels and works of art are likely to be trafficked across borders. We maintain global databases in order to assist the law enforcement community in identifying stolen items and to increase the chance of their recovery.
Motor vehicles
This database contains extensive identification details from all types of motor vehicles (cars, trucks, trailers, heavy machinery, motorbikes) and identifiable spare parts reported as stolen.
The Stolen Vessels database serves as a centralized tool for tracing and tracking stolen vessels and engines.
Works of art
The Works of Art database contains descriptions and pictures of cultural objects reported as stolen by INTERPOL member countries and international partners such as the International Council of Museums and UNESCO. It includes items looted during crisis periods in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.
Le Programme sur les armes à feu propose de puissants outils susceptibles d'aider les pays membres à recueillir et à analyser plus efficacement les informations pouvant être obtenues à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des armes, afin de prévenir et de résoudre les infractions liées aux armes à feu.
Identification des armes à feu
Le Tableau de référence INTERPOL des armes à feu (IFRT) est un outil interactif en ligne qui propose une méthodologie normalisée d'identification et de description des armes à feu, permettant ainsi aux pays membres d'INTERPOL d'augmenter la probabilité d'en assurer le traçage lors les enquêtes transfrontalières, grâce à une identification précise par leurs fonctionnaires des services chargés de l'application de la loi.
Traçage des armes à feu
Le Système INTERPOL de gestion des données sur les armes illicites et du traçage des armes (iARMS) est la seule plateforme policière mondiale permettant le traçage transnational par la surveillance et l'enregistrement des armes à feu illicites, y compris les armes perdues ou volées, et améliorant l'échange d'informations et la coopération entre les services chargés de l'application de la loi concernant le terrorisme et les autres infractions liées aux armes à feu.
Comparaison des données balistiques
Le Réseau d'information balistique d'INTERPOL (IBIN) est le seul réseau d'échange international de données balistiques à grande échelle au monde. Il fournit des renseignements aux services chargés de l'application de la loi en centralisant le recueil, l'archivage et la comparaison d'images balistiques afin d'effectuer des recoupements entre des infractions apparemment sans lien commises dans différents pays.
L'analyse combinée des données IBIN et iARMS permettra d'accroître sensiblement la capacité des services chargés de l'application de la loi à prévenir et à combattre la criminalité liée aux armes à feu, en particulier grâce à l'identification des trafiquants d'armes et d'autres malfaiteurs.
The purpose of these databases is to improve the collection and exchange of intelligence, support investigations, and better analyse the crime networks, leading to the identification and arrest of their leaders and financiers.
Maritime piracy
The maritime piracy database stores intelligence related to cases of piracy and armed robbery at sea, including data on individuals, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, piracy incidents, locations, businesses and financial information.
The Project Geiger database is used to collate and analyse information on illicit trafficking and other unauthorized activities involving radiological and nuclear materials. It combines data from the International Atomic Energy Agency, open-source reports and law enforcement channels.

A pouch that forms in the wall of the large intestine is called a diverticulum. When this pouch becomes infected or swollen, it is called diverticulitis.
It is not clear why the pouches form. It may be due to a constant build up of pressure when food moves too slowly through the bowel. This pressure increases and pushes along the sidewalls of the bowel creating pouches. Digested food or stool can become trapped in one of the pouches. This leads to swelling and infection.
The following may contribute to diverticulitis:
- Low-fiber diet—Fiber softens stools and makes them pass through the bowel more easily
- Increased pressure in the bowel from straining to pass a hard stool
- Defects in the colon wall
- Chronic constipation
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of getting diverticulitis include:
- Eating a low-fiber diet
- Age: 50 or older
- Previous episodes of diverticulitis
- High-meat diet or high-protein diet
- Chronic constipation
- Smoking
Symptoms can come on suddenly. They vary depending on the degree of the infection.
Symptoms include:
- Abdominal pain
- Tenderness; usually in the lower left part of the abdomen
- Swollen and hard abdomen
- Fever
- Chills
- Poor appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Both diarrhea and constipation
- Cramping
- Rectal bleeding
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and rectal exam will be done. Finding the disease early is important. The pouch can break, releasing stool into the abdomen. This is a medical emergency that requires surgery.
Tests may include:
- Your bodily fluids and waste products may be tested. This can be done with:
- Stool sample analysis
- Blood tests
- Images may need to be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
- X-rays
- CT scan
- Ultrasound
After the inflammation subsides, other tests may be performed to examine the colon, including:
- Barium enema
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy
- Colonoscopy
The goals of treatment is to:
- Resolve the infection and inflammation
- Rest the bowel
- Prevent complications
Treatments include:
Antibiotics and other drugs are given to fight the infection. Pain medications and drugs are given to decrease the abdominal pain.
You may also be given medication to help control vomiting.
For mild swelling, you can drink clear liquids for the first two to three days. For a more severe case, you will be admitted to the hospital, where fluids are given by IV. Antibiotics will also be given to you through IV.
Preventive Care
Changes in your diet can help prevent future attacks.
- Increase the amount of fiber you eat by eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
- Supplement your diet with a fiber product, as advised by your doctor
- Avoid laxatives and enemas
- Avoid narcotic medications—they can slow down bowel movement and can cause constipation
Surgery to remove the section of the bowel with pouches may be recommended if:
- You have had multiple attacks during a two-year period
- A pouch breaks and the contents spread into the abdominal cavity, which requires that the cavity be cleaned out
Surgery is also used to treat complications of diverticulitis, such as:
- Abscess—occurs if the infected pouch fills with pus
- Blocked bowel—scar tissue that forms and blocks movement of stool through the intestine
- Fistula—occurs if the infection spreads and colon tissue attaches to another organ, such as the bladder or the uterus/vagina
When surgery is done on an elective basis, the surgeon will remove the part of the bowel that is diseased and connect the normal parts of the bowel back together.
When surgery is done on an emergency basis, the diseased part of the bowel will be removed. The healthy parts of the bowel will not be connected right away. Your bowel will need time to rest and heal. The upper part of the bowel will be attached to the abdominal wall. A port will allow waste to pass from the intestine to a bag outside of your body. If possible, the healthy bowel will be reconnected after 6-12 weeks.
If you are diagnosed with diverticulitis, follow your doctor's instructions.
The following recommendations may help prevent diverticulitis by improving the movement of stool through the bowel and decreasing constipation:
- Eat a balanced, high-fiber diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
- Drink plenty of water each day
- Exercise regularly

You already know Nyjah Huston collected another oversize check today at the Kimberley Diamond Cup in South Africa. It said "One million" on it, but that's in African Rand. It is about 100 grand US cash. The contest was a head-to-head, single elimination bracket, similar to the old Maloof NYC contest. The final heat was Nyjah Vs. Felipe Gustavo for four minutes on the entire course. Felipe showed signs of fatigue since he had to skate one more heat than Nyjah earlier in the afternoon. Nyjah was basically unbeatable regardless. He barely missed a trick on every rail and hubba on the course. At the end of the four-minute jam, Jorge Angel gave them each one more try, after time, to make one last trick for the crowd. Felipe nailed a switch kickflip backside tailslide down the marble hubba and then Nyjah got his backside 270 to nosebluntslide right after him. A perfect ending for the comp. Check the gallery below for highlights.
Backtracking a bit, the South Africa Am contest started the day. Stylish ripper Braxton Haine that you may remember from Friday's gallery took it home. Next up was the Big Air best trick (the mini mega setup with best tricks being over the gap only). Jagger Eaton won with a no-grab 360 flip, and then a no-grab backside flip over the mini mega gap. Insane for such a young dude. Video coming soon!
Pro Street Finals Results & Cash Prizes
1. Nyjah Huston. $100,000
2. Felipe Gustavo. $40,000

Calling water polo a niche sport might be generous. Outside of the Summer Olympics every four years, you probably won't find it on TV or see highlights anywhere.
But this clip is worth watching.
A goalie, identified in the YouTube description as Denis Sefik, scores a game-winning goal with perfection — skipping the ball across the pool like a stone through a calm river and finding the back of the net. The live shot is hard to see, because it comes out of nowhere, but there's a nice slow-motion replay in the clip above.
The exuberant non-English broadcast call brings it home.

The saga of our notorious Judge Slagle resumes with newly-discovered information about the first recorded murder in Livingston county in 1853.
The saga of our notorious Judge Slagle resumes with newly-discovered information about the first recorded murder in Livingston county in 1853. It was the shotgun killing of an unarmed, banjo player named Benjamin Collins--- by our own Judge Joe Slagle. A highly-biased account of this incident was detailed in the 1886 history. It is easily obtainable from your web search engine should you be interested in reading all about it. Unfortunately, this account has been treated as gospel in subsequent retellings of our history over the last 160 years.
As stated in Chapter Two, portions of the "Official 1886 History" were sanctioned by Joe himself and do not match with other reliable sources on certain key facts. The Preface of this book raised concerns from the compilers about conflicting stories from some contributors without specific attribution. Some significant data were distorted or intentionally omitted in the official account:
Joe didn't allow the book include his fifth wife whom he married on May 4,1851 according to Livingston County records. This bride was named Elizabeth Crawford and she was the half sister of Joe's fourth bride that passed away suddenly on 8/7/1849 at age twenty-one. In the 1886 historical account, she was simply called "Miss" Crawford. This lady was also called Elizabeth Crawford! It turns out that their father (Mason Crawford) had thirteen children by his first wife (Polly). After Polly died in 1827, he sired seven more by his second wife (Susan). According to the 1850 census, Mason's second family lived in Livingston County but then must have moved back to Quincy, Illinois at the time of the murder.
Although he was eventually acquitted of the killing in 1854 at his second trial, Joe didn't get off "Scot Free" as some could surmise from the official history. After the indictment, Joe's first trial was declared in essense a mistrial. Joe subsequently served over a year in the Livingston County jail! A special hearing was held and Joe had two very good friends post a bail of $4000 cash. These rich and powerful men had a current year CPI-adjusted equivalent of $130,000 in their pockets! None of this information was mentioned in the official history.
The sister's half-brother (Benjamin Collins) was murdered in cold blood by Joe in early 1853 after he had made repeated, public death threats against Joe's life on several occasions prior. Mr. Collins was upset because he believed that foul play was involved in the first Elizabeth Crawford's death in 1849. He may have had legitimate concerns, but he went about it all wrong! Collins probably didn't own a gun, while Joe packed his shotgun at all times. The history's account concerning Benjamin's bad character and drinking habits were obtained from court records submitted by Joe's defense attorney-- at his first trial. Benjamin was dead, so there was no rebuttal!
Incidentally, Joe's defense attorney was arguably the most prominent hero of our county in the nineteenth century; then Captain William O. Slack was a veteran and local hero of the Mexican War of 1848. A few years later General Slack would lead his Livingston County men into the Civil War on the Confederate side. He and many cohorts would die at the Battle of Pea Ridge (Arkansas) in 1861.
There was an interesting Livingston County land transaction recorded in September, 1854 between Elizabeth Crawford II and four men named Collins!
From that point, I found no record of her existence in ensuing years. Note that Joe had been found innocent just months before and had returned to the farm. There was no indication that any children were born of this marriage. Of course, this wife was not buried with her sister.
Once again, in my opinion Joe was hiding something very important. He emptied both barrels of his shotgun into an unarmed banjo player who had decided give up his war of words and to set out for California. A mounted Joe just happened to overtake Collins as he was walking into Chillicothe. I believe Benjamin Collins knew too much about Joe and was most certainly a boastful "loud mouth." A recount of this story written in the local paper fifty years later termed him an ignoramus!
All this information begs an answer to this question: Why would Susan and Mason Crawford allow Joe to marry Elizabeth II if they thought Joe had murdered Elizabeth I a few years prior? I have no answer.
Next up, I will tell you about Joe's sixth and most successful wife--- Charlotte Parent Slagle. I use the term "successful" in that Lottie outlived old Joe by twenty years and was not buried in that spooky cemetery!

Did everyone survive the holiday madness? Any diasters? Everything settle out or down ok? New Year's is right around the corner. I love Christmas, but in all honesty I love New Year's more. I love the celebration of a brand spanking new year. It's like someone came into your home, cleaned everything spotless, organized everything to a perfect ideal system just for you and gave you fresh clean sheets on your brand new bed. I love that! The perfect motivation to start something anew. This new year I am moving into my own home. Finally my own home with my own kitchen. No more greasy, messy rentals with broken appliances that never get fixed, no more wasting, burning rather, your hard earned money on a rental. My current rental I've dubbed as 'the money pit'. Seriously, I've even named my home network/internet connection 'the money pit'. This is the place as many of you remember where the landlord took her time fixing the fridge, then finally realizing (after 2 months) that she should buy a new one. But she didn't take the old one out (it's a wall unit) so the new fridge was put in the living room. Nice! And on top of that the new fridge that she bought was actually a 2-year old floor model that was used on the showroom floor for potential customers to open and close repeatedly, kids to open and slam repeatedly, and who knows what else abuse. She wanted the floor model because....yes, it was cheap. And cheap it was. You should hear the noises that thing makes, it reminds me of the movie Alien. No lie. I have to keep it turned up to the highest setting just to keep it at a nice toasty 35 degrees. Yes, this was the same landlord that didn't want to get the brand new washer & dryer properly fixed. I could go on and on, but in a month I move. But the icing on the cake was the fact that last week the 37-year old oven died. Just two days before Christmas my oven dies. I knew this was coming, but was hoping it would happen the day I moved. None such luck! And get this, the landlord is still undecided on whether or not to put in an oven! Good luck getting it rented with a brand new washer & dryer that doesn't work, a barely working fridge sitting in the living room and now no oven. Crazy right?
I have one more month left in the money pit and with no oven I have to resort my baking & creating to the gas stove. Thank goodness that still works (I should knock on wood at this point right?). This can give me a good excuse to do more with my wok and to flambe more, no? I have to admit I did try a batch of cookies in my ez-bake err toaster oven--it wasn't that bad!
rum-soaked french toast w/ pecan butter
1 large loaf of day old, crusty bread, sliced thick
3 eggs
1/2 cup - 3/4 cup of half & half
1/4 cup dark rum
pinch of salt
couple pinches of cinnnnnaminnnaamon
pecan butter
1 stick of room temp butter
1/2 cup or less of toasted, chopped pecans
pinch of salt
couple dashes of vanilla sugar (if you have it)
Make the pecan butter first by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing well. Put into a small dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. You want the flavors to have an hour or so to meld together.
To make the french toast combine all the liquid ingredients, plus the cinnamon and salt in a shallow dish. Whisk this egg batter very well. Slice the crusty bread into desired thickness and let a few slices soak in the rum batter until ready to use. I soaked mine about 5 minutes. Add a few pats of butter to a hot skillet and cook up the french toast. Easy peasy. Make sure to serve with the pecan butter.

The first line of this post is definitely the best words I've read so far in months!!!! Not only it "crawled into the recesses of my brain", it also left me speechless and teary from laughing so hard. Well, wouldn't we all like to see them? No? Yes? (*O*)(6_6)(^_^)
Anyway, anyway... what can I say about your little piece other than, NUTS! You are awesome as always! Seriously, that girl is so sweet and graceful, I could eat her up! But then, I'm never surprised at what you can you, Miss Bella.
PS: Your blog just gave me a dirty word verification! I won't be tempted to tell you. Hehehe...

Hmm, I have no idea where people get the idea that artists are weird. ;)
The leafy blurry background is just incredible! Very dreamy

Ah what to say? :) :) well my ears were burning, but now I realise that it should have been my .... wacom :)
Bella, that is so kind of you to dream of my 'work'... see I am shtumblink over my keyboard. Humm :) Err, umm shuskc, everthing I write comes out the wrong way - how unusual for me for me for me :)
well your drawing, she is flying, suspended - dreaming, ahh I got it. The girl in the squirrel suit is so
wonderful. Just like all your work.
By the way, you made me laugh at work which is a difficult thing :)
I will be lurking
Thankyou for saying nice things about me :)

Without getting too personal, what kind of nuts were they? I mean, it matters, don't you think? To your therapist, if to no one else. HONESTLY, I have never met a bigger bunch of nuts than I have blogging (and it takes one to know one)! And now I am going to go look at a fellow nut, Andrew. I love your drawings. I say that every time I visit you! xox
- March 7, 2011 at 3:51 PM
- Andrew Finnie said...
Thanks Pam :)
Okay dokey I have recovered, well she is a nutcracker, and a beautiful demi point she has, ahh the references are all gelling :) I can see clearly now, you have captured how loveley snd delicate she is, a shimmering contrast to the forest around her

I love that little outfit, the way the leaves are against the gossamer.
I love your nuts!
Very cool matted leaf floor on this one too.
Are you saying something by having the little girl strung up by a bunch of nuts? The Nutty Marionette.
I don't wear squirrel outfits to bed. I just keep a peanut butter sandwich nearby. That way, if they try and mess with me, they know what's comin'.

Ma chère Bella,
Comme j'ai l'habitude de donner des noms à toutes les choses qui me sont chères, sachez (je vais vous tutoyer ok!) sache que dorénavant lorsque le ou les petits écureuils joueront sur le toit de mon atelier, je penserai à toi et je vais dire : "coucou Bella".
Et aussi à chaque fois que je verrai un écureuil, ce sera un "Bella"... Très belles illustrations douces et délicates...
Gros bisous

oh no...maybe because I am a veterinary nurse, when I read 'Andrew Finnie's enormous nuts'...well, I was thinking of well, part of the anatomy...
When I was a child, I used to take walnut shells and make little cradles out of them for my tiny plastic farm animals...

makes me nervous... and a bit worried... there's a nice mood you've created by the contrast of the background style and the foreground characters. keeps one glued, and unglued.
~~and, I'm sorry. I think I'll pass on Andrew's nuts...Thanks just the same.

For example, todays verification is 'hordev' which is, what all we know is what French people eat to make them skinnier.
Soon they will be throwing away their 'mooch cradles"
Now who's for 95? :0

Happy April, dear Bella. I hope you are enjoying a lovely Friday with a crusty baguette and jam. I wanted to just put that out there for something perhaps a little healthier (?) than a ho ho or a ding dong. Ha! Hope you've been well!

Bella, please put my name in for a piece of that "lovin' you" in my own way. Heck, I do not even know you, and knowing IS a prerequisite to love. But I can write or say "TSUP!"
Who is this C.P Adorio Peep?--grin! Does she draw also?

Gosh, I had to scroll down a long way to add my comment! Hardly a wonder though - your work is so 'commentworthy'!! Fabulous illustrations Bella - hope your computer is fixed soon so we don't have to wait too long to see more of your wonderful work! x

Bella, than you for your visit today.
Question: Why don't you get a nice new Mac, not necessarily a Big Mac--grin!
(Your computer went "down-for-the-count"
weeks ago, and I cannot count any higher numbers.)

Your computer! It's BACK home. Is it telling you the story of what that big, bad, man did to it? Cracked open its rib cage(s), played with it's innards, gave it a "transplant" Yeah RIGHT!
Are you going to sue? Or just be happy that computer is home--and works?
I've just GOTTA send you a TSUP, even though we've not formally--or informally--met. Yet--grin!

ZELIENOPLE — Police continue to investigate the cause of Sunday night's crash that left a Seneca Valley Middle School special education teacher trapped in his upside-down car partially submerged in a creek.
Henry Leo Stefanacci, 48, was injured and remains in critical condition this morning at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh after the one-car wreck about 9 p.m. on Halstead Boulevard.
Stefanacci possibly suffered the effects of hypothermia-type symptoms from being in the freezing water of Connoquenessing Creek for 30 minutes or more, rescuers said.
Zelienople police believe Stefanacci was northbound on Halstead Boulevard near the Schrieber Industrial Park when he lost control of his 2002 Toyota Camry while traveling around a bend.
The car went off the road and plunged down a 15-foot embankment into the creek.
The crash happened about one-quarter mile from Stefanacci's house. Police said his wife reportedly had last seen him about noon Sunday.
At Seneca Valley School District, spokeswoman Linda Andreassi said in a statement that faculty, staff and students were "saddened to hear about the accident, especially given the serious nature of the injuries."
"Our thoughts and prayers are with him for a full recovery," she said.

blurryhaze312 wrote:Well, I hate to partially burst your bubble, but maybe a slight overpayment. An accurate jersey of that style goes for between $300-500ish depending on who you buy from. The patches on that one aren't accurate though - all reproductions. Also, the fight strap looks fake...which is odd because the Jersey itself looks legit. As for the autograph...I couldn't say because I'm not an auto guy myself.
Considering all of that, I wouldn't have paid over $350 at the absolute max. Gore are you certain the auto is legit?
It's rare to find them still with the hang tags... not many people bought jerseys back then, and that number is slashed even further when you consider next to no one leaves the tags on.
