Will Smackdown be subject to the General Manager shake up that hit RAW the other week? Well, Teddy Long is getting a performance review tonight in Providence, Rhode Island, so signs are pointing to yes. Even though he has just been filling in for Booker T, I guess can still be removed from power.
Teddy Long kicks off the show in the ring, addressing the changes on RAW and tells the crowd that Vince is in the building. The crowd thinks Teddy is doing a good job and wants him to take over full time. Booker T may have something to say about it, as he makes his return to Smackdown! Booker thanks Teddy for filling him and now the crowd wants Booker T back in charge.
Vince McMahon makes his way from the back to settle the power struggle. Vince asks Teddy to make a match for tonight and Teddy throws out an Intercontinental Title match between Curtis Axel and Chris Jericho. Booker T counters with Alberto Del Rio versus Randy Orton. New RAW GM Brad Maddox drops in to have a word with Vince. Maddox also wants to be GM of Smackdown and announces the RVD will make his return to Smackdown, tonight. Vince has made his decision and the GM of Smackdown is Vickie Guerrero. WHAT?!? Why did Vince just punch the WWE Universe in the gut?
Vickie thanks Vince and then blames the fans for getting her fired from RAW. And she hates us.
Match #1 - Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger w/ Zeb Colter and Antonio Cesaro
Swagger knocks Swagger down with a forearm shot. Ziggler fights back, sending Swagger scurrying to the outside to regroup. Ziggler has had enough and goes after Swagger.

Winner via pinfall: Dolph Ziggler
After the match, Ziggler says he sorry for dumping AJ. He's sorry he didn't so it sooner. OH, SNAP! Backstage, AJ doesn't react to that zinger well. Big E tries to calm her down with a kiss on the forehead. Now AJ is confused.
Match #2 � Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. The Usos
The Usos hit the ring before the bell and start a brawl. Dean Ambrose jumps in, but Mark Henry runs down to even the score. Henry takes out all three members of The Shield, allowing the Usos to regroup. The Shield high tail it out of the ring and exit through the crowd.

Heyman says this is painful because he still cares about Punk, and make a plea for Punk to stay down and leave the WWE. And if he shows his face in the WWE again, Lesnar will deal with him. Miz is disgusted with the liar that is Paul Heyman and walks off the set. Before Miz can make it to the back, Heyman calls out Curtis Axel, who beat Miz at Money in the Bank. Miz just stares him down.

Wade ready to go for Heat
Miami, FL – Dwyane Wade is expected to play for the Miami Heat when the reigning NBA champions host the Chicago Bulls in Monday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Wade had sat out the Heat's 88-77 Game 4 victory over Milwaukee during the opening round of the playoffs due to a sore right knee, but the move was viewed mostly as precautionary with Miami owning a 3-0 series lead heading into the matchup.
With 11 days between that April 28 clash and Monday's opener with the Bulls, Wade has had ample time to rest and participated fully in each of the team's three most recent practices. The Heat later announced via Twitter that "all players are ready to go with the intent to play in tonight's game."
Wade averaged 13.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game over Miami's first three wins against the Bucks in the quarterfinals.

Posted May 2016 in Information, Leisure Gifts, Marketing & Branding
Associating your brand with the things people love is a wise way of attracting new customers and being able to engage with them on a more personal level. If they see and use your branded products whilst doing the things that they enjoy, it automatically gives your brand that feel-good factor because it associates your company with them feeling happy. And, wherever and whenever they see your logo, a positive image comes their minds; it connects your brand to a happy memory they have or an experience they enjoyed. Because they were using or wearing your branded products whilst creating these memories.
One of the most popular things that people enjoy, is music. Music has the ability to lift people, to move people, inspire people, to evoke memories, to stir emotions, to soothe, to heal, to calm, to bring joy and above all, to unite people. Despite age gaps, language barriers, cultural differences or whatever differences people may have, the one thing that brings people together and gives them a common reason to feel good, is music.
Think of all the music concerts, performances and festivals that you have attended and remember how diverse the crowd was, and, more importantly, how they were all smiling, cheering, applauding, singing and dancing. Complete strangers from all walks of life feeling completely comfortable with one another and sharing a happy experience together. An experience that will live long in their memories. That is the power of music.
So, what better way of promoting your company than by branding products that will be seen by music lover's the world over. With the festival season upon us, think Glastonbury, The V Festival, The Reading Festival, The Leeds Festival and many more festivals throughout the summer, now is the perfect time to get your brand out there and give your company mass exposure to mass audiences. Festivals receive wide broadcast and press media coverage, thereby increasing your brand exposure to an audience beyond the festival venue itself.
We have a selection of products that are popular with festival goers, and, when branded with your company name, logo or message, will give you an opportunity like no other to attract new customers and promote your company far and wide. Associate your brand with people's happy memories, and you could have lifelong customers.
Customise any number of products that people take to festivals, such as backpacks, rucksacks, umbrellas, flasks, windbreakers and body warmers, to name just a few. For the complete range of products, take a look at our festivals category and customise the products that will have people singing your praises this festival season and beyond.

Through exclusive investigations, we have discovered that crimes committed by foreign nationals, including illegal aliens, on American soil are not tracked, recorded, or reported by the FBI or the Justice Department as being committed by foreign nationals. This includes all crimes, including those committed by illegal alien terrorists to illegal alien criminals who are currently molesting, raping, killing, and murdering Americans in shocking numbers.
The pictures you see above are just a few of the Victims Of Illegal Alien Crime.
In essence, not only are the victims of foreign nartional perpetrators ignored, they are not even given the dignity of being a statistic. They just disappear. We have created this registry and data base because the government should be tracking this aspect of crime but isn't.
Through the FNCIC data base, we will attempt to correct this malfeasance. It is to be noted that the President and Congress swore an oath to protect and defend the citizens of the United States; it is their primary responsibility and their actions, or lack thereof, are an abrogation of sworn duty making the majority of them malefactors.
In collaboration with other investigations we have discovered that the illegal alien population contains a disproportionately large percentage of hard core criminals, sexual predators, and drunken drivers. While the President and Congress have basically considered amnesty to all the illegal aliens who are currently in the United States, for the most part they do not want to discuss or make known the massive collateral damage that many of those same illegal aliens are inflicting on the American people. Once those illegal aliens are made legal immigrants, or guest workers, they will simply be added to the resident criminal population. This web site and associated memorial presentation is show Americans the full impact of such shortsighted and irresponsible folly before it is too late.
Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution states, "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union, a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence."
Unfortunately, in our politically correct era, "invasion" and "domestic violence" are now parsed with the word "is." Regardless, our republican principals are being ignored, our borders are being trampled, our laws broken, our sovereignty violated, and our citizens are under attack from outside peoples, foreign nationals, who are committing more and more domestic violence, denying American Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, as well as Safety and Happiness.
As you peruse the VOIACM presentation and note the incredible number, and horrific impact, of the crimes committed by illegal aliens, remember that none of these crimes ever would have been committed if the President and Congress were exercising their constitutionally-mandated responsibilities of securing the border and enforcing existing law!
Also remember that you or a member of your family could just as easily be listed in FNCIC-VOIACM.
It is time that the American people be told the entire story and that the President and Congress be held accountable for allowing, and even enabling, these crimes to happen.

Andrina necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 55 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
made by Andrina
I require a logo to be used on a etsy.com store and my online shop selling stationery, cards, artwork and framed prints created by me. My specialisation is typography and I create prints based around inspirational words and quotes, like 'faith, hope and love' and custom gifts for parents, birthdays, weddings and engagements, interior design.
While I could create the logo myself, I've used 99designs in the past and find the talent here incredible, so I thought I'd put the logo design out there to the 99designs community.
- Etsy customers
- Mums and Parents/Grandparents
- Brides to Be
- People shopping for Gifts
- Females
- Husbands/Boyfriends buying for Wives/Girlfriends
The following website link has ready made logos on it in a similar style that I'm hoping for:
I require the completed logo in .eps, .jpg and .pdf format.
Please don't use stock graphics or clip art.
I do however like the idea of a vector being worked into the logo, like a love heart, star or bird (have a browse around etsy.com to see the styles of headers out there).
In terms of colours, my favourites are blue, pink, aqua purple with black or white... either in pastels or fluro/neon.... Please stay away yellow, brown, red, orange (e.g. warm colours).
I'm interested in seeing designs from two extremes - bright, bold and neon and sweet, kind and pastel.
I will need to be able to use the logo in both landscape (for the online store banners) and as an avator (75px x 75px) so please play around with the shape/layout. The logo will also be stamped/printed on the back of each artwork.

Oyster Bar Recipes
Fresh Oysters Topped with Chorizo Dressing
After raving about duck prosciutto, it's time to talk about some serious business because Valentine's Day is near at hand. My husband Lulu being a vegetarian doesn't mean that I don't get to get to enjoy a feast for our romantic meal on February 14th. I don't know if food with aphrodisiac properties really exists, but I love oysters. During the holidays, Papa made his oyster specialty huîtres chaudes gratinées (oysters au gratin) but that's another recipe. This time around, I served them cold with a chorizo, ginger and lemon topping. And if your significant other loves oysters as much as I do, this might be the perfect starter for a romantic Valentine's Day meal.
While visiting the Château de Fontainebleau, I couldn't resist taking a quick tour of its open-air market, which was fabulous. I found the most delicious saucisses sèches (dry sausages), made of duck and turkey, and some with chorizo made from poultry meat, which tasted even better than the ones I remember from my childhood.

People would rather barbecue burgers with Barack Obama than with John McCain. While many are still deciding who should be president, by 52 percent to 45 percent they would prefer having Mr. Obama than Mr. McCain to their summer cookout, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released last week.
As commentators and talk show hosts debate the significance of the barbecue polling results, anonymous sources have told this correspondent that several other national surveys have revealed a wide range of surprising voter opinions. Among the still-secret findings are these:
•In response to the question, "Who would you rather have on your touch football team after the barbecue?" 68 percent of those polled favored Obama. But 65 percent said McCain should referee the game.
•Asked which candidate would be better at aiding the search for a lost pet, 59 percent of respondents preferred Obama. An even larger majority, 64 percent, chose McCain as best qualified to hook up the jumper cables when help is needed starting a car with a dead battery.
•When queried about the subject of youth soccer, 53 percent of those polled thought McCain would do a superior job as head coach. Interestingly, the exact same percentage said Obama should be in charge of preparing the postgame snacks.
•If faced with the need to hire both men as a team to housesit for several weeks, 58 percent felt that Obama would do a better job keeping plants alive and bringing in the mail each day. A resounding 77 percent said McCain should be in charge of monitoring and adjusting pH balance and chlorine levels in the swimming pool.
•Told to consider each man as a door-to-door sales representative, 61 percent claimed they would make a purchase from Obama if the merchandise under consideration was a vacuum cleaner or other floor-care system. McCain was favored by 66 percent if the product was laundry-related or kitchen cutlery.
•Among married women voters, 71 percent viewed McCain as "more dependable" for basic chores such as washing cars and changing light bulbs. An impressive 83 percent named Obama as "more imaginative" in choosing fun, entertaining destinations for family vacations.
•In the always-important demographic of voters under age 25, 76 percent responded that it would be "way cool" to be sitting next to Obama at a performance of Cirque du Soleil. Even more amazing was the landslide of 93 percent who said it would be "a hoot!" to hang out with John McCain at a Star Trek convention.

Tesla Motors Inc. is expected to make a big announcement regarding its"gigafactory" battery plant this week. The announcement should include important details like location, cost and potential partners, analysts said.
Shares of the electric car maker started off the week by rising to a record Monday.
Tesla /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed /quotes/nls/tsla TSLA shares rose 3.6% to $217.17, hitting an intraday high of $218.36 earlier Monday. (Update: Tesla shares ended at a record close of $217.65).
Shares have gained 79% in the past three months, and 500% in the past 12 months.
Analysts at Baird & Co. said that the new details on the "really big" (in the words of CEO Elon Musk) North American battery factory will push shares higher, but a few details are likely to water down the announcement.
"Due to proprietary reasons … and the early stage of the project, we are uncertain of how much information (Tesla) will reveal in its announcement," the analysts said.
Tesla is rumored to be partnering with Japan's Panasonic Corp. or South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. The location of the factory is also yet to be determined, although analysts have bet on New Mexico or Arizona.
"One thing is sure: Tesla hopes to reinvent battery production like it already did to other parts of the auto supply chain, the Baird analysts, led by Ben Kallo, said.
Moreover, Wall Street is likely overestimating the amount of money Tesla would need to build the factory. Estimates have hovered at between $7 billion to $10 billion, but the amount could be as low as $5 billion through the partnership, potential incentives, and standardization, the analysts said.

The Rotary Club of Southington is once again hosting its annual town wide clean-up for Earth Day. The event, now it its third year, is slated for Sunday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"The Rotary Club has been the sponsor every year so far," said Rotarian Michael Przygocki, who is coordinating the event. "Last year the Chamber of Commerce Women's Group, members of the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, the Southington High School football team, and Viridian Energy all brought out multiple groups of people to help pitch in. And a couple of churches sent out teens to do community service. This year we're also expecting the Interact Club from Southington High to be out in force."
Przygocki said that fellow rotary member Steve Parsons developed the idea of the clean-up effort. It was hoped that if people helped pick up the trash on this day, they may be will to do it year round.
The volunteers fill up quite a few bags of garbage each year. Last year employees from Viridian, owned by Southington resident Matt Noyes, picked up almost 30 bags of garbage from Spring Street alone.
"We find a lot of it is cans, bottles, fast food refuse and that sort of thing," Przygocki said. "There's plenty of trash out there."
The rotary club is also asking residents to clean-up their immediate areas. They can then bring the garbage to be dropped off during the event.
"We're asking for people to clean-up their area," said Rotarian Carol Grant. "There's a whole lot of junk around."
Trash collection sites are at the Southington Drive-in and Memorial Park. These two areas will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to collect the refuse.
Participants can also stop by to collect trash bags, work gloves and safety vests at the sites, courtesy of the Queen Street Home Depot. Waste Material Trucking will pick up the trash at the end of the day.

Boston Architectural College
Felice Silverman '92, IIDA
The Boston Architectural College is pleased to announce that Felice Silverman '92, IIDA was honored with the Distinguished Alumni in Service Award. Bob Verrier, AIA, NCARB, President of the BAC Alumni Association, presented Felice with the Award on May 28 at the 2011 BAC Commencement. She was nominated and selected to receive the award by her alumni peers for the contributions she has made to the community through her practice of Interior Design.
The BAC Alumni Association presents the Distinguished Alumni in Service Award annually to a member of the alumni community who has shown significant service to the College, the community, or the design professions. Felice was recognized for her dedication to and mentorship of BAC students, collaboration with clients and professionals, and achievements throughout her career as an Interior Designer.
"Felice is an exemplary BAC graduate," said BAC President Ted Landsmark. "She came back to advise students, teach, serve on our Interior Design Advisory Committee, chair our Student Development Committee and become a member of our Board of Trustees. Her work as a Board member of the IIDA is a model for service to the profession and to our communities. Her firm won a juried competition to redesign our ground floor lobby to make it more inviting and user-friendly, after she consulted with students and staff about our evolving needs. She has worked closely and collaboratively with staff and other faculty volunteers to improve the quality of our teaching, and her thoughtful contributions to the school are always in line with our mission and Strategic Plan. All at the BAC enjoy working with Felice, and her contributions to our students and to the design professions have been immeasurable."
Felice earned a Professional Certificate in Interior Design from the BAC in 1992. She has been practicing Interior Design for the past twenty years, with a focus on the design of spaces for education, children, healthcare, fitness and commercial office interiors. She is currently President and Principal at Silverman Trykowski Associates, Inc. in Boston, Massachusetts, which she founded in 1996 with Tom Trykowski, AIA, a 1986 BAC graduate.
"I view my involvement with students and young designers - through teaching, advising, mentoring - as my most important contribution to the design community," said Felice. She currently serves BAC as Co-Chair of the Student Development Committee, Thesis Faculty Representative and Thesis Advisor, and serves the College as a member of the Board of Trustees and Chair of the Interior Design Advisory Board.
Felice also contributes to the design community through her involvement with the International Interior Design Association (IIDA). She is currently a member of the IIDA Board of Directors, where her focus has been on improving and developing continuing educational programs for members, student mentoring, participating in the review of the Interior Design Body of Knowledge, and interfacing with the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ), the Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC), the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). She was also the 2006-2007 President of the IIDA New England Chapter, and in 2009 received the IIDA New England's Leadership Award. Through the IIDA Felice has been an active supporter of Interior Design Legislation, and has recently been asked to join the Massachusetts Interior Design Coalition (MIDC) as a member of its Advisory Council.

If you're a Buckeye racing enthusiast, you undoubtedly know the name Chick Hale. Word came to us late last week, sad to say, that Chick – his true name was William – has passed away at 83. Think about this statistic: Chick was the only driver to have raced at the fabled, fearsome Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, every year that it was run by founder Earl Baltes, from its opening in 1954 until Baltes sold the track to Tony Stewart in 2002.
Chick, who hailed from New Madison, Ohio, was most famous as a Late Model guy, with a total of nine Eldora titles in full-fender cars. The above image comes to us from western Pennsylvania racing historian Walt Wimer by way of Tom Schmeh, curator of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa. It shows Chick at his other specialty, racing Supermodifieds on dirt. It dates to 1962, shot during a winter open-competition special at Jacksonville, Florida, a program that also attracted the "skeeter" of Alabama legend Harold Fryar and Roy Robbins, who'd won the first Knoxville Nationals the previous year. In the background is the Super of Jacksonville regular Yankee Smith. A year later, this now-defunct track was the site of Wendell Scott's only NASCAR Grand National victory.

Looking at my favorite boots, that had become dull and, downright dirty, I finally decided to turn them upside down to look at the soles and found I had worn them out, completely through on both sides! And I was left with two choices: repair or toss and I decided it was time to find a cobbler.
Just by chance, one day, after having lunch having at the Griddle on Sunset, I noticed Andre #1 Shoe Repair and it looked very professional, so I decided to take my boots to them for repair.
In addition to quality shoe repair Andre #1 also designs and creates custom shoes and boots for men and woman. Looking forward to showing the after photos.
After just a couple of days, I went back with my claim check and was delighted with what I found. My shoes looked not new but better than new because they were comfortable they were warned they were cool but I have years left to be able to walk in them and enjoy them thanks to Andre #1 Shoe Repair.
Without asking special touches were given to my shoes that showed the care behind an old-fashioned cobbler. My rugged boots were given a rugby Seoul which suits the personality perfectly. I'm not sure if it makes any difference in the walking other than probably makes them much more skid proof but the care to try to match the sole with the top of the shoe is a true indication of the attention and care given by Andre #1 Shoe Repair.
I was also very pleased with the price. I had checked with two other cobblers in the area and the price I was charged at Andre #1 Shoe Repair was approximately 30% less than they had quoted.

Georgia had lost a series of legal challenges brought by human rights activists over the nation's most draconian sex offender law. Attorney Sarah Geraghty of the Southern Center for Human Rights, which has been on the forefront of efforts to stem the tide of "fear-based" laws, gave a keynote speech about the law's inhumanity at the annual meeting of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers back in 2008. About 13,000 -- or 70 percent -- of the men and women on Georgia's sex offender registry will now be able to "live and work wherever they want," according to a report by Greg Bluestein of the Associated Press in yesterday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Residency restrictions will still apply to about 5,000 sex offenders who committed their offenses after 2003, but they will vary in scope. Among the changes, elderly and disabled offenders may also be exempted from residency requirements.
Iowa has also scaled back some of its restrictions under pressure from courageous prosecutors in that Midwestern state. As I blogged about back in 2007, Iowa prosecutors lobbied for repeal of residency restrictions because of their negative unintended consequences of encouraging sex offenders to disappear, making them more dangerous. "Most legislators know in their hearts that the law is no good and a waste of time, but they're afraid of the politics of it," a spokesman for the Iowa prosecutors' association said at the time.

Vintage American Dorm Decor
During the summer before freshman year, I carefully picked out the perfect accessories for my soon-to-be dorm room in San Diego, from a really cute duvet to an "Endless Summer" poster (I dreamed of being a surfer girl). Then I met my roommate. Her idea of sophisticated decor was plastering photos of nude or nearly nude fashion models on every available inch of wall space.
I'm sure I could've learned to co-exist with our clashing styles, but the roommate took the fashion spreads to heart and walked around naked or nearly naked whenever she was in our postage stamp of a room. As did her friends during sleepovers. She eventually moved into a different suite with an equally clothing-averse pal, and I got a new roommate who arrived with nothing but sheets and a plain comforter, which was just fine by me!
Ah, college life.
Decorating a first dorm or apartment can be a really big deal. Even if your parents let you go wild with your bedroom as a teenager, the rest of the house was still their territory. A dorm room, where presumably you'll be spending a lot of time studying and entertaining, is a chance to assert your own independent style — and learn to live with what other people consider awesome. (I'm talking about you, pot-leaf poster and tie-dye bedspread!)
When I saw this post about vintage dorm rooms on ModCloth's blog, I was delighted to learn that American college students — in this case, young women — have been decorating their dorms since they first set foot on campuses. What a great snapshot of popular styles through the ages! Click on over to the original post to see a few more awesome photos.
What was your dorm style? If you're about to start school, how much time have you spent imagining how you'll decorate?

A longtime hotspot on Florida's Atlantic Coast, Miami Beach is known for its white sand, numerous festivals, and party atmosphere. Take your pick of Miami Beach apartments, and treat yourself to a long weekend or an entire week in this fun-filled beach destination.
Miami Beach enjoys a tropical monsoon climate with steamy summers and relatively mild winters. Visit during the summer for temperatures approaching 90 degrees and an average of 12 to 14 rainy days each month. Spring and fall are slightly more moderate, with temperatures in the low 80s and drier skies. The winter months are positively pleasant here, with temperatures in the low 70s and the summer thunderstorms a distant memory. If you plan to visit any time in the summer or fall, keep in mind that Miami Beach is susceptible to the Atlantic hurricane season. Be sure to monitor the weather forecast so you don't encounter any stormy surprises.
If you're traveling to Miami Beach from elsewhere in Florida, you'll find the city easy to reach from Interstate 95 and Highway A1A. For those traveling from afar, Miami Beach is just a short drive or taxi ride from Miami International Airport or Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport. In town, leave your car behind to save yourself the hassle of limited and expensive parking. Instead, get to know the South Beach area, where most Miami Beach apartments are located, by exploring on foot or by bike. If you prefer two wheels, getting started with Miami Beach's bike share program is easy and convenient.
Hit the beach, and make your way to South Beach, also known as the American Riviera. Here you can swim, soak up the sun, people watch, shop, and stroll along famous Ocean Drive. For a quieter beach experience, go to Haulover Beach, a laid-back and clothing-optional stretch of sand. Delve into Miami Beach's legendary Art Deco history with a tour. Grab a map and take an informal self-guided tour, or sign up for a professional tour from the Miami Design Preservation League and learn even more. To see some of the best art in Miami Beach, visit the Bass Museum of Art, which has permanent and rotating exhibitions that cover art from the Renaissance to the present day.
Miami Beach is best known for its music and cultural festivals, which happen all year round. March brings perhaps the largest and most celebrated festival, the Winter Music Conference. Though it might not sound like much, this is a premier event for the electronic dance music (EDM) industry and draws over 100,000 attendees from more than 70 countries around the world. From concerts to workshops to dance parties to dance competitions, this is the place to be for EDM enthusiasts. Go global with the Heineken TransAtlantic Festival, which highlights music from all over the Atlantic. You'll hear music from Europe, the United States' Atlantic Coast, the Caribbean, Brazil, and more. In the summer, put Colors of the Caribbean on your calendar and experience the music, food, and art from these island nations.
No matter how long you plan to stay in the area, you'll find countless Miami Beach apartments to host your group. Stay right on the waterfront or in the historic Art Deco District and make the most of your beach getaway.

The FSG Book of Twentieth-Century Latin American Poetry
An Anthology
Edited by Ilan Stavans
Farrar, Straus & Giroux: 729 pp., $50
Here's the answer to a hypothetical "Jeopardy" query: "Who are Pablo Neruda and, um…?"
And now, the question: "Which modern Latin American poets could an average U.S. reader likely name without using Google?" No fair if you're counting Ricky Martin, by the way.
Until fairly recently, that would've been my own blushing response. For five years I lived in Mexico City and worked in an office near a beautiful, leafy street named for Rubén Darío, the great Nicaraguan journalist, cultural diplomat and poet. Darío's admiration for the French Symbolists, along with his wariness toward the geopolitical adventurism of Uncle Sam, propelled him, almost single-handedly, to haul Latin American verse into the 20th century under the battle flag of the "Modernismo" movement.
Yet, despite my inspirational environs, for many years my knowledge of Latin American poetry was limited to a handful of stalwarts like Neruda, the nonpareil of romantic yearning, and his compatriot and fellow Nobel Prize-winner Gabriela Mistral. Some poets I'd known better as political prophets and provocateurs than as verse-makers (José Martí, Ernesto Cardenal, Roque Dalton). I'd read and re-read the brilliant, book-length essays of Octavio Paz (yet another Nobel recipient) but was far less acquainted with his poetry, drawn not only from the deep cenotes, or sinkholes, of Mesoamerican mythology but also from his scholarly immersion in Sanskrit, Japanese haiku and whatever else his elegant mind alighted on.
For that reason, among others, I'm grateful for the publication of "The FSG Book of Twentieth-Century Latin American Poetry," which thoughtfully gathers selected works of these relatively familiar names, along with many deserving lesser-known ones. Handsomely printed and designed, the collection has been astutely edited by Ilan Stavans, the prolific author and Amherst College professor who has done as much as anyone alive to bridge the hemisphere's linguistic gaps, and it boasts an all-star lineup of translators. In addition to Stavans they include W.S. Merwin, Richard Wilbur, Lysander Kemp, James Merrill, Robert Bly, Samuel Beckett and Ursula K. Le Guin. Many of the English-language versions that appear here, alongside the originals, are as good as we're likely to get for some time, perhaps ever.
Most significantly, this hefty volume shows the ethno-linguistic breadth of what we lump under the monolithic term "Latin American" poetry. Like Walt Whitman's poetic Self, the bards of Latin America "contain multitudes." This volume includes works originally written not only in Spanish and Portuguese, but also in French, slangy Caribbean patois (for example, Nicolás Guillén's wonderful "Brief Ode to a Black Cuban Boxer") and indigenous tongues, such as the Nahuatl of Mexican poet Natalio Hernández Xocoyotzin and the Mapuche of the Chilean Elicura Chihuailaf. (What is it about Chile and its production of great poets: Mistral, Neruda, Nicanor Parra, Chihuailaf and on? Does the dramatic convergence of northern desert, southern glacier and Andean peaks create a parallel tectonic collision of lyrical thought? Has the country's remoteness and sparse population made it a refuge of quiet contemplation?)
One way of looking at how Latin American poetry evolved between the late 1800s and the post-World War II era is in terms of how it was shaped by Great Power spheres of cultural influence as Spain gave way to France, which in turn gave way to the United States — not only the U.S. of Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Allen Ginsberg, but of Teddy Roosevelt and the Bay of Pigs.
As the last remnants of the Spanish Empire crumbled in the 1890s, many Latin American writers, composers and artists turned to Paris, then the world's cultural capital. Darío, in particular, became the standard-bearer of a new style of cosmopolitan hemispheric literature, and other poets also embraced the French aesthetic and transformed it into Latin American "Modernismo."
Martí's "Love In the Big City" owes an obvious debt to Baudelaire: "It is an age of dry lips!/Of undreaming nights! Of life crushed unripe!" the Cuban laments. While Baudelaire often seems about to choke on his own bile, Martí's aftertaste is decidedly bittersweet. His tart observations and spiritual ennui are made palatable by the passionate fecundity of his imagery.
Stavans coins the term "Menardismo" to describe the "spongelike quality" of post-Modernista Latin American poetry, its capacity for assimilating and reshaping other cultures so as to make them "acquire a new authenticity." His reference is to the short story "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" by Argentine Jorge Luis Borges, who is represented here by a half-dozen poems, including "The Cyclical Night," a lovely rumination about mankind's infinite capacity for star-struck gazing at the timeless cosmos.
Cultural exchange is always a two-way street, of course, and this collection brims with wonderful examples of surprising affinities between Latin American and U.S.-European sensibilities. Beckett's take on "And Thou, Expectant…" by Mexican poet Amado Nervo (1870-1919) is a Catholic-existentialist gasp of wonder at Creation, tinged with some frustration at a God who withholds His divine purposes: "Señor, cuando veremos la rosa abierta!" (Lord, when shall we behold the open rose!)
In their exhilarating version of Darío's "Love Your Rhythm…," Greg Simon and Steven F. White render "eres un universo de universos/y tu alma una fuente de canciones" as "You're a cosmos in a cosmos set free./Be the fountain of songs that your soul needs." The addition of the phrase "set free" (not in the literal Spanish) both preserves the meter and underscores the poem's imperative tone, reminiscent of Rainer Maria Rilke's famous exhortation ("You must change your life") in "Torso of an Archaic Apollo."
Andrew Rosing replaces dry historical abstraction with pulsating, visceral imagery in his translation of José Santos Chocano's "A Manifesto," in which "Mi fantasia viene de un abolengo moro [Moorish ancestry]" is changed to "My imagination comes from ancient Moorish blood." That provides a better setup to the concluding thought that "the Andes are of silver, but Leon is of gold;/I fuse both races with a noise like thunder." And Le Guin magnificently transmits the otherworldliness of Mistral's enigmatic "The Sleep-Wave" and "Airflower," which make the Cono Sur seem as dreamily alien a landscape as the far side of the moon.
A nit-picker might wish that the volume gave the actual dates of the poems, rather than just the poets' life spans. Also, the youngest writers included here were born in 1962. Surely there must be one or two poets between Tijuana and Tierra del Fuego who are not yet pushing 50 and worthy of inclusion.
Over the decades, many Latin American poets have attained not only a stature but a role in public life, a seat at the national conversation. Cardenal, a trained priest and liberation theologian, was culture minister for Nicaragua's Sandinista government before becoming one of its fiercest critics. Paz served as his country's ambassador to India and resigned in protest of a Mexican government-sanctioned massacre of protesters in 1968. Mexico's Homero Aridjis, whose lovely poem "El Ojo de la Ballena" (The Eye of the Whale) appears here, also is a diplomat and leading environmental activist.
Poetry in Latin America is still serious business and, as this fine collection reminds us, valued sustenance.
