The title of this show couldn't be more apt. The boxlike constructions here by various artists—most created in previous decades and all selected from the late Allan Stone's private holdings—are like intensely personal time capsules, filled with confessions, dreams, and nostalgia.
The series begins with stagecraft. Al Wolfson's miniature, meticulously detailed dioramas—a Lexington Avenue subway station and the interior of a grungy walk-up, both circa 1983—suggest two intense but fleeting memories. The solemn, shadowy views hint at moments of long-past significance. On a larger scale, in the style of stop-motion animation, Kathy Sins modeled a common urban nightmare: comically giant roaches overtake a kitchen while a human couple screams in horror.
Stone, whose tastes ran the gamut from de Kooning to folk art, was clearly a fan of richly evocative assemblage. Inside a cabinet, Primarosa Kurhajec linked parts of antique toys with strands of rope, making heartfelt but mysterious connections. Similarly, Philip Sultz stuffed a display case with remnants of books and then blurred the glass with smears of white paint—another piece suggesting something vaguely recollected (appropriately, without a date). In Wayne Nowack's enigmatic Propriete de L'Etat (1970), an elegant fold-out box reveals a delightful assortment of brass hardware and yesteryear trinkets—all of it arranged to resemble an apparatus of some magical function. Naturally, assemblage pioneer Joseph Cornell (whose art Stone championed) is here, too: four spare and sedate enclosures that sit on the shelf like little seaside reveries.
Other containers hold accumulations of identical objects, shifting the mood away from introspection into social commentary. Dan Basen's windowed vault of Pepsi bottles and Armand Fernandez's Theoreme de Ferme (1960)—packages of aspirin piled into a Plexiglas bin—appear to mock cultural conformity by enshrining its emblems. But Rosamond Berg does the opposite; her array of little cloth bags, each of them subtly colored a different shade of white, seems to celebrate diversity. So did Allan Stone, whose epic collection of everything and anything remains, as ever, a thrill to discover.
Shortly after the 2010 eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano, Diane Tuft flew over the crater and surrounding area in a Cessna and took photographs of the altered landscape. As with her previous visual explorations of harsh environments (Tunisia, Greenland, the Great Salt Lake), Tuft wasn't documenting anything specific, but looking for texture and form. Shot with equipment that captures near-ultraviolet light, enhancing contrasts and tints, the scenes are otherworldly. A foaming tide, thickened by ash, spreads along a tar-black shore. Waterways snake around vivid yellow islands.
Often composed in a way that makes the spatial orientation unclear, many of the images approach abstraction. The distinct sections of Aftermath #3—a rough white triangle and two panels of aquamarine and charcoal-gray—bring to mind the Color Field school. Not to be missed, four photographs kept in the gallery's back room (left off the walls for reasons of space) are among Tuft's most painterly—stark, ethereal visions that prove, once again, that you can't beat nature for beauty. Marlborough Gallery, 40 West 57th Street, 212-541-4900, marlboroughgallery.com. Through April 21.
From an improbable collaboration came an improbable film. Some years ago, experimental choreographer and dancer Ralph Lemon happened to meet Walter Carter—a former sharecropper and, at 100, the oldest person in Little Yazoo, Mississippi. Charmed, Lemon began inviting Carter (who died in 2010) to participate twice a year in various art-based tasks. Their last project, the subject of this 30-minute quasi-documentary, involved Carter making a conceptual journey to another planet inside a homemade spaceship, painstakingly built out of scrap-yard junk. Although explained only in accompanying notes, Carter and his wife also act out scenes from Tarkovsky's Solaris and Godard's Alphaville, two oddball sci-fi flicks about the importance of human connection. Nothing makes much sense, but through scenes of quiet tenderness, the film becomes a meditation on love and death. In the end, after completing his rocket flight, Carter lies alone in a fallow field wearing his silver space suit and white helmet—a bit bewildered but poignantly transcendent. The Studio Museum in Harlem, 144 West 125th Street, 212-864-4500, studiomuseum.org. Through May 27.

The ruggedly elegant Wasatch Mountains grace Alta and Snowbird with the best powder in the country, attracting legions of skiers, snowboarders, and all-around winter fanatics to 500 inches of light, fluffy snow. Year after year, these legendary Utah destinations live up to their name and mirror the same exuberance in summer months when high alpine meadows filled with a Crayola palette of wildflowers accent beaming, cerulean blue skies.
Indeed, the mountains never tire of providing endless opportunity to explore and reflect and get inspired. Whether you're all business on the slopes or leading your business conference, Snowpine Lodge offers an unforgettable experience.
Located at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon, Alta's first marquee luxury resort hosts the very best in service, dining, and facilities to host company meetings, business retreats, or conferences. No matter your group size or agenda, the Lodge offers 30,000 square feet of versatile meeting space in outdoor and indoor settings. Plenty of room to spread out, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.
If your meeting dates bring you to Snowpine in non-skiing months or some in the group aren't big into snow sports, the Lodge offers all manner of alternate distractions and activities. For a new take on team-building, gather 'round and see who can build the best catapult or try your hand at axe-throwing. Now there's a couple of things most of us don't do every day and we're pretty sure you'll remember that part of your Snowpine trip for years to come.
History Meets Luxury
Snowpine opened its doors in January of 2019 at the same location as the original, circa 1941 lodge. Steeped in mining era history, the early lodge began its life in the 1800s (the oldest building in the canyon) and served as a post office, general store, and various other establishments.
Also in the old but not-that-old days of the 1960s were a handful of modest, family-run lodges, $4.50 lift tickets ($4.50!), and not much else. Alta started as the quintessential tight-knit mining community and grew into the quintessential tight-knit ski community.
Today's Snowpine carries on the area's lineage, albeit swathed in a far more luxurious patina. The Lodge's rooms offer accoutrements like comfy bedding, robes, mini-bars—and slippers! Guests in upper tier rooms are treated to balconies with outrageous views of Little Cottonwood Canyon and everything is just 200 yards from the ski lifts.
Indulge Your Appetite
Your company's attendees need look no further than Swen's Restaurant for delectable and regionally sourced meals like zabuton steak and duck fat potatoes, complemented with soaring mountain views. If you're in a casual state of mind, The Gulch Pub boasts a full bar packed with craft brews, cocktails, delicious après-ski grub (think burgers and wings) and an addictingly lively atmosphere.
If the kids (or tireless adults) are still wound up from a long day in the exhilarating alpine air, The Nest is the perfect destination for low-key fun. The Nest is a unique game room filled with goodies like pool and foosball tables, ping pong, karaoke, pinball, shuffleboard, and arcade games. Pac-Man, anyone?
Let It All Go
After a long day on in the hills or in the meeting room, there's nothing quite like stretching out for a relaxing massage or spa treatment and you can find it at the Stillwell Spa. The state of the art facility features an oxygen bar, indoor grotto, sauna and steam room, yoga studio, heated pools, and fitness center where you can ramp up a burn with treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machine, bodyweight machine, or free weights.
It's everything you need to unwind and recharge.
Come for the Snow, Come for the Summer
Since its very beginning, Alta has been known and revered for deep snow. Really deep. How does 545 inches sound? Powder days are a common occurrence around here and we are not responsible if anyone suspiciously sneaks out of your company meeting. After all, it's pretty hard to resist.
Summer months are no less extraordinary, with hundreds of miles of mountain trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking for adrenaline junkie experts or easy-going first timers. Those looking for a slower pace will find world class trout streams in close vicinity.
It's all here at Snowpine Lodge. Bring your meetings to the mountains. Stay for the experience. Find more information at 801-742-2000.

Part 1: Introduction
Nowadays, the typing has gradually become an everyday business as you may be fond of expressing ideas and emotions on the twitter or instagram. Thus, it is a challenge for you to type fast and accurately. It 's well-known that the word flow iOS is a kind of Microsoft product that has received warm welcome. The most outstanding characteristic of the work flow iOS lies in the Arc mode. The Arc mode implies the keyboard is designed in a semicircle formation located in the bottom right corner of the screen so that you could type with only one hand. Also, the predictive typing is another advantage that will make the typing process more comfortable and effortless. The background of the work flow keyboard could be personalized with your photos and special themes to be more appreciable. However, the Microsoft word flow iOS version is gone, and the third party keyboard apps are taking the lead. Thus, you need to know about the best alternatives to the word flow iOS.
Part 2: Several iOS keyboard apps the iOS users could use as an alternative to word flow
You may wonder which keyboard app could be used as the best alternative to Microsoft word flow iOS. Each iOS keyboard app has its own merits and characteristics. In the other words, some focus on super-fast typing, some are skill in intelligent predictions, and the others draw attention to the customized design. You could decide the suitable keyboard app according to the features, price, efficiency and your interest. Five of the best keyboard apps are demonstrated as follows.
2.1 SwiftKey
SwiftKey is one of the best keyboards as a result of the predictive-typing feature it provides. In the other words, SwiftKey will provide you with the word it assumes that you might want to proceed with after you type a word. Also, SwiftKey could learn from your writing habits and make the prediction more precisely the more you use it. Colourful skins, emoji, and multiple keyboard layouts are integrated to make it more attractive and appreciable.
2.2 Swype
One characteristic that really set Swype apart is the gesture-based method it adopted. It is the first keyboard app to integrate the typing method based on gesture, and it captures the minds of users successfully. Therefore, you don't have to tap on the screen to type words using Swype, and you just need to drag your finger around on the screen to connect the letters in a word to achieve the function of typing. Also, Swype enables you to text emails or messages by dictation instead of typing. Anyway, it will make you cool if you have a try.
2.3 Fleksy
Fleksy is lauded for its predictive-typing feature, and the gesture based method endows it with super-fast typing capability. Thus, it has been regarded as the "world's fastest keyboard". Furthermore, Fleksy pays close attention to the visually impaired users, and the keyboard could be resized to fit your fingers.
2.4 Ginger
Ginger stands out as a result of the feature it provided to help you improve your grammar and writing style. When you text messages by Ginger, it will check your spelling and grammar, rephrase sentences with problems and translate what you have typed into other languages. It's especially useful if you are not skilled in writing. Anyway, Ginger acts as a real literature teacher, and you'll find it really helpful if you have a try.
2.5 Minuum
Minuum is a minimalist keyboard without missing any common features such as gesture-based typing method, word prediction and autocorrect. With the flick of a finger, the Minuum resize the keyboard into a "mini" mode that could be used surprisingly. Another characteristic of Minuum is that it could be used by both the righties and the lefties.
I have introduced 5 best word flow iOS alternatives, And I wonder if you are interseted in some best bluetooth keyboards for iPhone/iPad I have already recommmeded in Leawo.org. Talk more about it in the comment area.
Part 3: How to install and enbale Swype on iPhone
You may wonder how to install a keyboard app on iPhone. Take the Swype for example, the procedure of installing and enabling it on iPhone is demonstrated as follows. Before we start, you need to bear in mind that you have to use iOS 8 which supports Swype.
Step 1. Download the Swype in the App Store.
Step 2. Install the Swype and launch it.
Step 3. Head to Settings->General->Keyboard, and tap on keyboard tab on the screen.
Step 4. Tap on the Add new keyboard tab. Then, tap on Swype to enable it.
Step 5. Now, you could launch any text editing app to draw forth Swype.
Part 4: Conclusion
It's well-known that the Microsoft word flow keyboard iOS is a kind of Microsoft product that has received warm welcome. The most outstanding merits of the work flow iOS lie in the Arc mode and the predictive typing. However, the Microsoft word flow iOS version is gone, and you need to know about the best alternatives to the word flow iOS. Five of the best keyboard apps are listed as SwiftKey, Swype, Fleksy, Ginger and Minuum. The way to install and enable Swype on iPhone is also demonstrated to help you use it properly.

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten — Tuesday November 19 marks the day when the nation shall pause and join men around the world as they celebrate International's Men's Day under the theme "Making a Difference for Men and Boys".
International Men's Day, though not on the Global and National policy agenda of observed days it is a day that has been celebrated some thirty years. It was inaugurated back in February 1992 by a Thomas Oaster (Wikipedia). On November 19th, 1999 a University of the West Indies Trinidad & Tobago History lecturer by the name of Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh resuscitated the movement. The date November 19th was chosen in honor of his father's birthday. The purpose of this celebration is to shed light on issues affecting men such as: male suicides, men's health, promote gender equality, promote and improve gender relations, highlight male role models and celebrate the achievements of men and boys, in particular, as it relates to men's contribution in the areas of child care, family and marriage.
Presently, International Men's Day is celebrated and observed in approximately 80 countries including some of our Caribbean countries. In the region celebrations are done in Saint Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica and Haiti just to mention a few. Most recently, our next door neighbors Sint Eustatius observed International Men's Day in 2018 with a gala event.
This year for the Department of Community Development, Family and Humanitarian Affairs, Ministry of Public Health, Social Development and Labor, primarily, the Family Unit, took up the mantel to bring awareness to the community about the existence of an International Men's Day.
The observance/awareness will take the form a Man-2-Man discussion. This discussion will be streamed live via the Governments Facebook page on Tuesday November 19th from 7:30 – 9:30 pm. The hope of this observation is to revive a discussion that started within our Community some years ago by some male pioneers. Most recently, Sint Maarten has been faced with the issue of male suicides be it alleged or confirmed, the rise in men being diagnosed with or succumbing to prostate cancer and much more. It is important that these types of discussions take place, not just the discussions for discussing sake but discussions that can lead to possible interventions and policy development.
On behalf of Community Development, Family and Humanitarian Affairs we wish all men and boys on Sint Maarten a Happy International Men's Day. Be that man or boy who will make the difference within your home, school and community.
Happy International Men's Day!

Luigi DeLellis was born on August 21, 1880 in San Gregorio, Caserta, Italy. He was the son of Francesco DeLellis and Caterina Loffreda. {He was named after his grandfather Luigi DeLellis and his wife, Luigi's grandmother was Mariana D'Amico. Caterina's parents were Onorato Loffreda and Maria Maddalena D'Amico. A likely assumption for me is this was a cousin marriage between Luigi and Caterina} Luigi joined siblings Vincenzo, 17 years his senior, the son of Luigi and his first wife Anna LNU, and sister Filomena (1877) daughter of Francesco and Caterina.
Luigi married Annunziata Cordini (1879). She was the daughter of Nicodemo Cordini and Maria Vorruti. Annunziata was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina which I learned from her death announcement. According to the 1910 census they married in 1901, just prior to Luigi immigrating to the United States in 1902. I was able to locate an immigration record on the Ellis Island site that I believe is for Luigi. This record states he was 21 years old, from San Gregorio, married, arriving on June 30th, 1902. A quick look at the passenger information told me that he was traveling to a brother-in-law named "Ferritto". I have not been able to identify a Ferritto marriage that would be a brother-in-law as stated but, Vincenzo Langellotti married Maria Ferritto; they were the parents of the Giuseppe Langellotti who would marry Luigi's sister Filomena, my great grandmother. The connection was there. According to his naturalization papers Luigi stated he arrived on July 11, 1902 but I feel the June 30th date is close enough (with dates commonly off) to be a match.
The first census record for Luigi was the 1910 Rhode Island census. Recorded under the name of Dellis he was living at 504 Union Ave., Johnston, Providence, Rhode Island. Luigi was 30 years old, living with his wife Nunnziatina (32). His occupation was listed as cobbler although the census reported he had been out of work for the last 24 months. Luigi and Annunziata had three living children. Antoinette born in 1903 in Italy with immigration noted in year 1904. That gave me the clue that Annuziatia remained in Italy when Luigi immigrated traveling a year later with their infant daughter. Maria was born in 1905 in R.I. followed by Francesco (1908) passing away a year later in 1909 and baby boy DeLellis in 1910, later named Anthony.
In 1913 Luigi filed his Declaration of Intention to Naturalize
Ancestry.com. Rhode Island, State and Federal Naturalization Records, 1802-1945 [database on-line]. Lehi, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2016.
It is also important to note that it does not appear that Luigi ever completed the naturalization process. He was still listed with Alien status on the 1940 census.
Along with the above document and his in 1918 WWI draft registration a few more gaps about his life filled in. He was working as a shoe laborer at the time at Bourn Rubber Co. 54 Warren, Prov., Prov. R.I. The family had been living on Simmonsville Rd. since 1913.
Bourn's NATIONAL RUBBER COMPANY, in Bristol, RI.
Augustus Osborn Bourn (October 1, 1834 – January 29, 1925) was an American politician and the 36th Governor of Rhode Island. (en.wikipedia.org)
On site at 54 Warren is this huge complex. I was not able to find an age associated with the existing building but perhaps some of the building had its beginnings as the rubber Co. that Luigi worked in.
Their family had also grown by 1918/1919. Catherine (1912) Frank (1914) Vera (1917) and Albert Luigi (1919) had been born making the number of children in the household seven.
Still at the Simmonsville Road address on the 1920 census, there appears to be no house numbers associated with this street. I located Luigi now listed as Louis and his wife as Nunzie Delles/Deller. His occupation was listed shoemaker in a repair shop. I like to think of him out of that huge factory and into something more like a small mom and pop type shoe repair shop. Louis had submitted his papers for naturalization in 1913 but they were still not finalized. Antonionette (18) was working as a spinner – hosiery, and Mary (15) was a doffer in woolen mill. On this 1920 census Albert Luigi was listed as Alberto.
A doffer is someone who removes ("doffs") bobbins, pirns or spindles holding spun fiber such as cotton or wool from a spinning frame and replaces them with empty ones. Historically, spinners, doffers, and sweepers each had separate tasks that were required in the manufacture of spun textiles. from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org

From Ancestry U.S. Directories for the year 1922, I located the listing below for Luigi. Working as a shoe repairer the work address was 900 Cranston. Located there now is a Dunkin Donut shop. The home was located on Thornton.
Rhode Island has a 1925 census and on this daughter Anna, the last of the children had been born in 1923. At home were all of the other children as well as their oldest daughter Antoinette (22) now married and with her husband Thomas Pezzuco (29). In this census Luigi was still using Louis and Annunziata was now Nancy. No occupation was listed.
1925 Census
Ancestry.com. Rhode Island, State Censuses, 1865-1935 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2013.
Their address was 107 Walnut Street, Johnston, R.I. Here is the home they lived in (built in 1912)
Between 1930 and 1940 life moved on for the family. The 1930c revealed that the home on Walnut was owned by Luigi (50). It's value was listed at $4000. At this time he was an inspector / rubber works. I am speculating he may still had been working for the Bourn's National Rubber Co. Daughter Mary (24) was also in the work force in the same field, inspector / rubber works along with daughter Catherine (17) doing bench work / rubber works. Anthony (19) was working as a stone setter / jewelry. Wife Nancy (52) was home with the children Frank B. (15), Alvenia/Vera (13), Albert L. (10), and Anna C. (7). Antoinette and Thomas were now living at 48 Elmhurst, Cranston, R.I.. Luigi and Nancy became grandparents to 3 children: Nancy (5) Anthony (3) and Thomas (1). They would remain at this home for many years.
Some time between 1930 and 1935 daughter Mary married John DelBonis. I located a census record for John on familysearch.org . Not only married to Mary, they are living with her parents and they had 1 child. John was working as a shipper in hardware.

Antoinette had married by 1925 and was living with her husband and children which left only son Frank B. (1915) to locate. He was home in 1935 with his parents working as a butcher living at the 1066 Plainfield address. I located a WWII draft record (1942) for Frank, confirmed with his profession as a meat cutter. It also stated is that he was married.
The 1940 census was interesting. It appears Louis had sold the house on Walnut and moved to the home at 1066 Plainfield St. The census indicates this was his home in 1935 as well. The ages for Louis and Nancy have been consistent throughout the censuses. Nancy (61) a bit older than Louis (59). Louis also had a job change. He was now a laborer doing road work for the government. Anthony (30) was no longer working as a stone cutter/jewelry but was working with brother Albert L. (20) at a cotton mill as a laborer. They were both still living at home along with Anna C. (17) noted as a new worker. The value of the home on Plainfield was $1500. The 1939 city directory noted son Frank was living at the 1066 Plainfield address but no occupation was given. Frank was located on Thornton in 1940 and working as a clerk at Weybosset Market.
So many of my ancestor worked the cotton and worst/woolen mills of the area, I couldn't help but do a bit of digging about this. I collect old postcards (NYC mostly) but spotted this beauty and had to have her. The postmark was 1909 for this card, the mill was already the State Armory so no one after 1909, would have worked at this mill.
The 1942 WWII draft registration for Thomas Pezzuco, Antoinette's husband continued to show the 48 Elmhurst address. Thomas was the owner of a Cattle business. According to another researcher she has listed 5 more children born to Thomas and Antoinette in addition to the 3 I have confirmed. I have reached out to her but have not heard anything back. She has no documents to prove the children so I will leave it at the first 3 for now. I was able to find a city directory listings up to 1961 with cattle business listed. I was able to find few more of the children through google searches but again they are not proved so I will not include them at this time. It appears some of the family has remained in the area with a construction company in business.
To recap the highlights of Luigi's life
He was born in 1880 and immigrated about 1902, he would outlive his father Francesco who passed away in R.I. in 1908, followed by the passing of his first son Francesco in 1909. His older 1/2 brother Vincenzo passed away in 1915, and then his mother Caterina in 1918, both in R.I also. Luigi would bury his daughter Catherine in 1938, he was 57 when she died. He would also suffer the loss of his only sister, Filomena in 1942 (Bronx) and then his wife Annuziata in 1950, R.I.. He would survive another 12 years before passing away on
Feb 17, 1962
Luigi and Annunciate are buried at Saint Ann Cemetery, Cranston, Rhode Island.
I was delighted to find on genealogy bank.com the obituary announcements for Annunziata, but unfortunately I could not locate anything for Luigi.
Genealogybank: Providence Journal Monday, Jun 19, 1950 Providence, RI Page: 13

I would like to dedicate this post to Mark DeLellis ~ and his family. Luigi and Annunziata are Mark's grandparents. I hope that I have been able to provide a time line and some new information for Mark and his family about his grandparents, aunts and uncles and extended family. It's been a pleasure corresponding with Mark.
As I was hunting through genealogy bank.com for DeLellis mentions I came across three more I wanted to share. The first was a mention for son Anthony and the other is for their granddaughter Madeline ~ daughter of Catherine, and granddaughter Eleanor ~ daughter of Mary.

Step 1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place cauliflower and tomatoes on prepared tray. Add curry paste and toss to coat. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender.
Step 2 Heat oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add onion and chickpeas; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until onion is soft. Add cumin seeds, coriander and chilli; cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add vegie stock to pan with ½ cup cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 3 Add cauliflower–tomato mixture to pan; cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through. Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes, or until wilted.
Step 4 Serve curry with steamed rice and a dollop of yoghurt.
If you'd like a little more sauce in your curry, lightly crush the tomatoes at the start of step 3, just before you add them to the saucepan.

No, there's no official new 'Jeep Wave'. Fuck that guy.
A while ago I was on my way to our local sporting goods/coffee shop to shoot the breeze with the guys. On the way there I passed a Jeep headed the other way so I waved. Got to the shop, ordered a coffee and sat down to listen to the conversation already going on. In walks the guy from that Jeep I passed. He walked over to me to show me the correct way to wave to a fellow Jeerer! He held up 2 fingers.
I told him that that looked like a peace sign not a wave, that I had been waving to other Jeepers since before his parents were born and never heard of what he was telling me. "I'll keep waving the way I have been and if the other person doesn't want to wave back that is up to them".
He left with a chip on his shoulder. I suppose I could have been more diplomatic about, it but then, I never have been PC.
Is there a "New" Jeep wave that I have missed learning about living here in the sticks? Will I be disowned if I do not comply?
I'll tell you one thing, we had a pretty lively scuttlebutt session that morning.
No, there's no official new 'Jeep Wave'. Fuck that guy.
I still cant believe people are this concerned about a fucking save in 2019.

A wave, is a wave. Looks like the guy you ran into takes that stuff way too seriously.

Well... I like to overthink things as well
Personally I thought there were no "rules" about a Jeep wave. No one has to wave first, and no particular style is needed. That being said... if you watched the gladiator release video here that Eddie did, the Jeep guy on stage held up the 2 fingers up with thumb extended and specifically referred to it as "the Jeep wave".
I tend to drive with my left hand at the top center of the steering wheel... depending on a few factors (visibility, temperature, etc).. if my drivers window is closed people will get either 2 or 4 fingers up with thumb still hanging onto the wheel. I usually just stick to 2 fingers, but increase to the 4 fingers are if I think my 2 will not be visible. In the nicer weather when my windows are down (top on or off), my left arm goes out the window, upright but slightly angled outward. I either do the 2 finger/thumb or a whole hand open (flat palm), both with elbow resting on the window ledge. At no time am I doing a side-to-side waving motion. More like a stationary salute, fighting the wind usually haha.
That'll be $25 for the non-official, maybe completely weird, Jeep Wave class. Paypal accepted. LoL

Do people really care this much about how they wave to one another? This kind of dumb shit makes me want to not wave.
Thats unbelievable that someone would track you down to tell you that... what an idiot! Wave however you want!

Hard White
It's MixTape Monday and here goes some goodstuff.
A couple of years back I was in Amoeba's DJ/MIXTAPE section and I found what looked like a new ALCHEMIST mixtape called "Hard White: The Rockumentary". I was pretty excited to hear ALC behind the tables instead of just the boards, and the cover said it featured BIG NOYD and a couple of other QB folks. I dropped it in my basket, picked up some other shit, dropped some cash and split. When I got home and listened to it and I found out that it wasn't really a mixtape, but more like an album, and the only thing ALC did was introduce the mixtape. Needless to say I was a little bummed, but got over it pretty quickly when I heard SID ROAMZ beats and this dude named UN PACINO rap. As I listened to this over and over again for the next 2 weeks, I realized that I didn't give a fuck about any other flows on this thing but U.P.'s verses. Dude sounds like he's relaxed as fuck, while spitting the meanest shit, which is a perfect fit over SID ROAMZ synth heavy beats. Since then it seems like every couple of months I'll hear a song with UN on it and he steals the whole show. Not only that but he's also earned a bit of a reputation as "The Rapper Slapper" for knocking the shit out of entertainers who think the image their publicist gave them is real. Anyhow I wanted to listen to this and I think you folks might like it too.

Snowstorm Tuesday — Winter Storm Warning for all of Northern Michgian
A few snow showers from last night lingered early this morning, then the afternoon was mostly cloudy with highs that reached the mid-20s. This air mass producing temperatures around normal for this time of year will continue for our area over the next few days. Calm weather will continue this evening, then snow will move in from the south in the early-morning hours.
A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for Northern Michigan. For Ogemaw, Iosco and Arenac counties, the Winter Storm Warning begins at 4 a.m. Tuesday. In Alcona and Oscoda counties, the warning begins at 7 a.m. Tuesday morning. Farther north, in Alpena, Montmorency and Presque Isle counties, the warning starts at 9 a.m. Tuesday morning. For all areas, the warning ends Wednesday morning at 9 a.m.
The storm system is currently over Northern Oklahoma and will track through southern Michigan tomorrow. Plenty of snow on the northern side of this storm will move through our area. Also, the track of the storm will bring strong winds out of the east for Northern Michigan.
Snow will start tomorrow morning, and become increasingly heavy. Two rounds of heavier snow are expected, the first round moving through in the late-morning to early-afternoon, then lighter snow for a while in the late-afternoon, followed by a second round of heavier snow during the evening. Light snow will continue Tuesday night, gradually weakening.
Strong winds out of the east play a role in forecast snow amounts. Winds traveling over Lake Huron will enhance snowfall amounts for areas near the Lake, 9-15 inches are forecast for the areas shaded in pink — most of Alpena, Alcona, and Presque Isle counties (9-12 inches will be common, with isolated spots getting 12-15 inches). West of that, for the areas shaded in orange, 7-12 inches of snow are forecast, including Montmorency, Oscoda, and Iosco counties.
Snow and wind will be the main issues tomorrow, and high temperatures will reach the upper 20s. A few snow showers will last into Wednesday morning, then clearing into the afternoon. Dry weather will continue for Thursday morning and afternoon as highs reach about 30 degrees. Cooler temperatures are expected for the end of the week. For the rest of Northeast Michigan's weather forecast, watch the latest weather video by clicking the weather tab at the top of the page.

Farm transfer options to be discussed at Galway meeting
The issue of farm transfer and succession will be up for discussion at an information evening in Athenry, Co. Galway, tonight (Thursday, November 1).
The meeting, a joint event by Galway Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) and Macra na Feirme, will see various figures from local farm organisations address the audience on the taxation pitfalls of transfer and succession – and how to avoid them.
The event will feature several speakers, including Austin Finn, programme manager of the Land Mobility Service; Tom O' Farrell of accountancy firm IFAC; chairman of Galway Macra David Costello; Anne Mitchell, Galway IFA chairperson; and local solicitor David Quinn.
Speaking to AgriLand, Austin Finn said: "It's all about raising awareness about the options and tax implications of succession."
He added that the priority for farming families, who are facing into the mire of succession, should be to find a solution within the family first, before looking at other options.
Planning well in advance
Organisers are hoping the meeting will also emphasise the importance of families planning well in advance, should they go down the succession route.
As well as that, they hope that farmers, both young and old, can familiarise themselves with the process of transfers, so that both older and younger farmers can benefit.

Ah, fuck. Love sucks. Because at some point or another you will be crushed. Whether you are the dumpee or the dumper, you will find yourself alone, mourning a loss that feels like death. And it is a death, really: the death of your hopes that you will not die unnoticed in a dark house, your fetid body pecked at by hungry vermin.
Anyway. Take heart, dear heart. There are many things that you must do! At once!
In the immediate future:
You must do this fast, when the dead relationship is a fresh piece of roadkill, its guts glinting in the sun. Before the birds get to it. You MUST:
-Clear your place of all of his shit
Or anything that reminds you of him. The special towel you bought just for him, the cute photo booth pic of you two on the fridge. The shitty beer you kept in the fridge, for him. Dump it, toss it, get it out.
-Delete his number from your phone
Because drunk texting him is never a good idea. And you know you'll do it.
-AND delete his texts from your phone
What's the point of re-reading the past?
-Cut all social media ties
Twitter. Instagram. Facebook. Snapchat. ALL OF IT. You don't need to peek at his life and compare it to yours. And you don't need to be showing off for him either. If your profiles are public, of course he can see you if he chooses. But if you disconnect, at least you know that when you're sharing parts of your life online, you're not doing it for him.
Not doing these things sets you up for failure.
At any given time:
Now that that's over and you've buried the corpse, now you need to deal with the grief. This next set of instructions is to be completed in no particular order or timeline.
Be sad. Be blue. Baby yourself. Cry. Sleep. Eat. Watch shitty movies. Boycott showering if you're too lazy, or take lavish 45-minute ones if you're too lazy to get out. You can mope with your favorite friends or family, or you can do this alone. But you have to give yourself time to be sad. Be sad until you don't want to be sad anymore and don't feel bad for how long it takes. You'll know when you're tired of it.
-Make a list
Of all the things you hated about him. You know, those things you were really nice about and put up with and made yourself not hate so much? That he was boring in bed. His hairy feet. His beer belly. His unfortunate hairline. His snoring. When you're feeling like reaching out to him, because you don't want to be alone and what-if, what-if… read the list.
-Make a list
Of what you liked about him, and good times you had. It's okay to recall the good things; after all, you were with this person for a reason. Remembering the happy moments helps you know this wasn't a colossal waste of time. And this helps you know what you want and need in a relationship.
-Make a list
Of all the nice things people have ever said to you. The really good compliments. I read once that it takes 17 compliments to balance the effect of one negative comment. Write 17 nice things people have said to you. Even if it takes you an hour to remember, you have indeed heard at least 17 nice things about yourself. You don't have to believe them (you're a woman, why on Earth would you believe something flattering), but write them down. Validate their existence. Because people appreciated you. 17 times.
-Take in some kick-ass broads
You need some strong women in your life right now. Women who gave no fucks, did what they wanted, were joyous and gloriously un-boring. Women who didn't need a man. I'll tell you the women I need in my life, not just during a breakup, but when I'm feeling weak: Holly Golightly of Breakfast at Tiffany's—the book is better than the movie, because in the book she (spoiler alert) escapes to her own wild desires. Veronica Mars—WATCH THIS SHOW. You will love her smarts, toughness and hilarious one-liners. The Good Wife. By God, The Good Wife is one of the best shows on TV, featuring a complicated and formidable main character and a host of endlessly entertaining supporting characters entangled in delicious, delicious plot lines. There are several strong female characters in this show, too, which you generally don't see in TV.
Do whatever gets your heart pumping. Because you need a boost of endorphins, or just the pleasure of kicking/punching/throwing something. Sadness, despair and rage have a way of disappearing when your body is just plain tired.
-Watch the booze, k?
I'm all for a glass of wine (or two), but remember: alcohol is a depressant. Don't overdo it. You'll have a sadness hangover, in addition to a bodily hangover, and neither are fun.

Well, I have been waiting on the edge of my seat for months now… as I do every year. You see, my beautiful wife and I celebrate our anniversary on July 20th,
So here's the skinny:
2012 really does not have much new. Now, there are some big changes, but not a whole lot new.
The biggest news is that many of the line up have finally received a boost in the ol' muscle department. The 103 engine that was first introduced in the CVO models a few years back, has trickled down to the standard fleet. For those who think a bit differently about those numbers, a 103 is about a 1688cc engine. More importantly for many is that the HP numbers are approx mit iphone video von facebook downloaden. 100 from the factory (which will probably change before you leave the parking lot as I am sure you are gonna put on a better breathing system and exhaust, maybe a Power Commander, and possibly even a hotter cam) cod mwen.
So, the 103 is found in all the touring models (including the standard Road King which was left out last year), all the Softails (cause we all know they are the Blvd hintergrundmusik herunterladen. hot rods), and many of the Dynas. My guess is that the Dyna line will all get the update in another year or so… keeping some costs down and some entry models more affordable with the 96ci download dazn videos. (The Wide Glide, Fat Bob, and new Switchback got the 103 and the Street Bob and Super Glide Custom were held back with the 96).
The other big change in availability is that you can now get ANY of the big twin models with ABS. Some will like it, some will not. It is an option so you certainly don't have to get it. I personally am looking forward to it because Harley is one of the few that have an independent system, meaning that the front and rear brakes are NOT integrated. This allows me to use the front or rear brake, as I see fit not a power transfer between the two. I don't care what you say, I know the importance of each brake and if I want just front or back, then I want just front or back… 'nuff said waiting music for free wav.
On to the new models:
The Night Rod® Special is updated with new tapered tail section, lighter-weight wheels, an inverted front fork and improved ergonomics Download media player dvd for free.
- NEW Black, split five-spoke cast aluminum wheels are three pounds lighter than previous wheels.
- NEW Tapered tail section with flush-mount LED taillight flickr photo iphone.
- NEW Pullback handlebar places controls three inches closer to the rider and optimizes overall feel with a low, wide position.
- NEW Reduced reach, forward-mounted rider footpegs haushaltsbuch vollversion kostenlos herunterladen.
- NEW Inverted front forks.
- NEW Two-up seat with custom stitching.
- NEW Stylized, black speed screen visor.
- NEW Slim design, center-mount license plate klaviernoten online downloaden.
Harley-Davidson celebrates a decade of power cruising with the V-Rod® 10th Anniversary Edition motorcycle, finished in Brilliant Silver Pearl bodywork that evokes the anodized aluminum bodywork of the original V-Rod model that introduced the liquid-cooled Revolution V-Twin engine in 2002. All V-Rod models will carry V-Rod 10th Anniversary badges.
The new Dyna® Switchback combines hard saddlebags and a windshield with the eager handling and Twin Cam 103 performance of the Dyna chassis. It's a custom-touring bike ready for a long weekend trip, until the detachable bags and windshield are removed. Then in seconds the Switchback becomes a custom street cruiser with a gleaming headlamp nacelle, five-spoke cast-aluminum wheels and a mini-ape handlebar. This convertible concept makes the versatile Switchback two motorcycles in one.
The new CVO™ Road Glide® Custom is one of four limited-production 2012 models from Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO)™, each turned out with bold paint, gleaming chrome, and the most-powerful V-Twin engines offered in production Harley-Davidson motorcycles. CVO Road Glide Custom is a hot-rod bagger with a frame-mounted fairing topped with a smoked Wind Splitter windshield, a high-output, amplified Harman/Kardon® Advanced Audio system, and a color-matched, low-profile fuel tank console. This model takes the place of last year's Road Glide Ultra CVO.

Dive Brief:
- A new travel ban issued by the Trump Administration continues to disallow entry into the United States from six Muslim countries, but contains exemptions that some advocates say slightly improves flexibility for colleges with international students and scholars.
- Constituents from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen with existing student or residential visas can now enter the country, but some officials say the ban still complicates or outright blocks access for new enrollees or professors for at least three months.
- Opponents of the policy cite the more than 17,000 international students and faculty members who learned and worked at American colleges in 2015-16, who would have been cut off even in the revised version of the executive order, which removes Iraq as one of the prohibited countries.
Dive Insight:
There is no easy remedy for colleges and universities to address the new executive order which reestablishes many of the same restrictions as the first version of the ban. States like Hawaii have pledged to sue the administration over the new language, and perhaps lobbying efforts should be the primary tool for campuses which could be significantly impacted by the order.
If lawmakers and the general public held a more comprehensive view of the money generated and spent by international students and faculty in the U.S. thanks to college attendance, perhaps the immigration restrictions would be easier to argue on and off campus. This approach is also valuable in helping to manage conversation and mixed feelings about the order in student and classroom discussion, which colleges may also want to consider as a factor in the ban's potential effects.

Branding a Commodity for Increased Profits
As collectives like Painted Hills Natural Beef have learned, a strong brand can help insulate you from fluctuations in prices and command higher prices by imbuing the product with premium qualities.
Twenty years ago, seven ranching families in Wheeler County, home to the picturesque Painted Hills of Oregon, came together behind the idea that that beef could be better. They were competing against big, industrialized farming in an industry known for thin, often nonexistent margins—one in which the lowest-priced product often wins.
"We were selling calves—500-pound calves—for 80 cents [a pound], and you couldn't make a living at that," Painted Hills Natural Beef Chairman Mehrten Homer told OPB recently. "We couldn't compete just doing a generic [beef]. You'd be competing with the world's biggest beef companies, and they weren't doing natural beef at that time."
The ranchers formed the first board of directors of Painted Hills Natural Beef to market brand-name beef pasture-raised without antibiotics or added hormones—"beef that's as striking as the natural wonders it's named after." Today, the beef is sold at a premium price in supermarkets and upscale restaurants across the Northwest. Those stores and restaurants, in turn, charge a premium to customers who are willing to pay for quality beef with the Painted Hills name. At Market of Choice, for example, shoppers can find Painted Hills 93% lean ground beef in the butcher section for $6.99 a pound, compared to $5.49 a pound for Kroger brand 93% lean ground beef at a nearby Fred Meyer. Discount stores often sell beef for as low as $1.98 a pound.¹
It's a tactic that has proven advantageous for Oregon's wine industry, California's avocado growers and many others. In a commodity market, a brand can help insulate you from fluctuations in prices by positioning the product as premium—for example, a higher-quality product or one that's produced or processed in a more sustainable way (e.g., Copper River salmon) or in a specific geography (Burgundy wine). The brand serves as a flag, symbolizing those unique attributes, and a vessel in which the brand's equity is stored.
And people are willing to pay more for a strong brand. Women consistently value branded products higher than men, according to research by BDRC Continental. Women give toothpaste an average brand (profit) margin of 26% and washing powder a brand margin of 12%, for example, compared to 20% and 5% percent, respectively, for men.
"When commodity buyers pay a premium for value, it can't be skin deep. The value has to be real and tangible, because they will constantly measure and reevaluate it."
A few key considerations can help you establish a strong brand for a commodity:
- Identify the premium aspects of the commodity.
Branding a commodity requires understanding and communicating the unique attributes of that commodity, whether it be superior quality (e.g., the deep color, silken texture and extra fat of Copper River salmon), how the product is reared or harvested (e.g., sustainable practices by Copper River's community of independent fishing families), or another aspect, and how that differs from the generic commodity. With Painted Hills beef, for example, it's the all-natural farming techniques and flavor profile, while with Burgundy wine, it's the provenance of the wine itself; to the lesser-informed, understanding that a wine is from Burgundy connotes an inherent quality, even if that consumer has no familiarity with the vineyard or maker. And with Kobe beef, it's the highly marbled, exceedingly tender beef valued for its flavor and fattiness—and the word-of-mouth-inciting beer-fed, sake-massaged, classical music-listening aspects that serve as a marketing vehicle unto themselves. "When commodity buyers pay a premium for value, it can't be skin deep," Sam I. Hill, Jack McGrath and Sandeep Dayal wrote in Branding Sand. "The value has to be real and tangible, because they will constantly measure and reevaluate it."
- Create a market for the branded product.
This requires education—in the case of Painted Hills, education about the non-natural, hormone-laden practices of traditional commodity beef. By shining a light on the darkness of the commodity, Painted Hills is able to offer an alternative to these practices, one that consumers are willing to pay a premium for. "When we first started, people didn't know about natural beef—so we had to do promotions in the stores to sell our beef and get a following," Homer told the Angus Beef Bulletin. "We were actually building a natural beef program in stores that didn't have natural.
- Communicate your brand consistently.
Willamette Valley winemakers, for example, communicate the high quality of the region's Pinot Noir wines through the Willamette Valley AVA. It's more than high quality: The climate and soil of the region are well-suited to growing a delicate, difficult-to-grow grape—which happens to be that same grape that is grown and makes up (red) Burgundy wine. In that sense, the Willamette Valley is borrowing on the brand equity that Burgundy has imbued in the Pinot grape.
For Homer and his wife, Glenda, whose ranch is part of the Painted Hills collective, the brand has transformed a ranch that was losing money consistently into a thriving family operation that employs their sons and daughters-in-law in addition to local workers.
"It's brought more prosperity to [our] ranchers," Glenda Homer said. "We try to give some of that prosperity to the ranchers that we buy product from."
At Homer's ranch, weekly production has gone from 10 heads of cattle at its inception to 600, and live, naturally raised cattle now brings 10 cents a pound more than generic beef—growth and a price premium attributable solely to the Painted Hills Natural Beef® brand, and the marketing of that brand. And that's a strong testament to the power of branding a commodity.

UberChic Beauty Brushes are high quality brushes designed specifically for all your nail art needs! These nail art brushes have a lovely, perfectly balanced weight to them without being too hefty. They also are decorated with a chic silver butterfly engraving and crystals in one end to add glam to any nail art experience.
This liner brush is more of a hybrid between the Striper Brush and the Detail Brush as it's length is right in between the two. The difference is that this nail brush can create a slightly bolder and smooth line but can often do double time and work on some larger detail work.
UberChic Beauty created these to be the ultimate in luxe and easy-to-use nail art brushes - they feature a metal handle that holds up to acetone – and unlike many wooden-handled brushes that melt under acetone after first contact – these will stand up to wear and use, time and time again.
Each nail art brush comes with a cap for storage and bristle protection. The cap also has an air hole in the top to let your brush air dry when stored. Add some class to your nail art session by adding these luxe brushes to your nail art arsenal! The "gel" part of the name is just a trade-title - these do work with either gel or regular nail polish if properly cleaned with 100% Acetone after each use.

Yes, I know that this is an extreme case, but it happened to us (me and @Jei).
When you try to load multiple (1+) webviews at the same time with same local URL, the listeners provided by the XHR bridge (ti-injection) works only for the first one instantiated.
I debugged for hours, and finally realized why this happens.
The LocalProtocolHandler class implemented in the Webview communication receives only the first URL to load; and this causes only one injection with the same Ti.pageToken.
In this screenshot you can see that the generated pageToken is the same:
The solution would be to inject a new header that has a unique counter thats incremented every time a new local URL is set.

There's nothing quite like duking it out with a gamer playing from the other side of the world, or teaming up with a complete stranger to complete quests, as if you have known each other for years. The best part is, you don't need to spend hundreds a month to get your Massive Multiplayer Online fix. In fact, you can experience all the joys of an MMO without dropping a single dime. Here are the top three free Massive Multiplayer Online games available today.
The Lord of the Rings Online—is the Lord of the Rings, online, and free, enough said. It's produced by Warner Bros as a free online interactive video game. LotR Online is great for both solo and cooperative play, and the players can follow their own storyline or create a fellowship to battle Orcs, Wights, and Balrogs as they journey to defeat the Dark Lord Sauron. The user can choose from four different races: man, elf, dwarf, or hobbit; there are also a variety of classes for your character, from burglar to lore-master to warden. Lord of the Rings Online also has cinematic cut scenes to immerse you further into the world of Middle Earth as the story progresses. Users can opt for a paid VIP membership or pay for specialties such as extra gear in the online store, but these are not necessary. Lord of the Rings Online is the only free game based on actual Tolkien characters. One word review—epic, in every sense of the word.
DarkEden was the first horror MMORPG. Originally developed in Korea, it takes place in the fictional country of Eslania and revolves around the eternal struggle between humans and vampires. The game is operated by Ignited Games, Inc., in North America, and lacks the more advanced features and complexities that the more active and feature-rich Korean version has. However, it is still popular; DarkEden combines multiple genres: classic Asian fantasy, medieval fantasy, and science fiction. Players can choose to be either a Vampire or a Slayer; each race has different gameplay, strengths and weaknesses, different items, classes, growth systems, and reactions to the time of the day. There are 40 skills available for Vampires and 100 different skills for Slayers, with 30 different passive skills according to the rank of the character. The game is oriented as player vs player, as users can be attacked at almost any time by other players.
Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited allows users to play the MMO version of the game that started it all—Dungeons & Dragons invented the role playing game genre. The online version of Dungeons and Dragons takes place in Eberron, where there are threats from monsters and invaders as well as political struggles. The game includes traditional races such as elves and dwarves, as well as new ones not found in other games such as quori. The players begin on the continent of Xen'drick, and players travel throughout urban settings as well as more wild lands. Whether playing solo or with a group, the game will be customized on your party. Dungeons and Dragons Online offers immersive quests across the land, Adventure Areas for users to slay monsters and explore dungeons, and Raids, which are described as complex and highly challenging versions of quests for up to 12 other players to cooperate with you in. The game is absolutely free with no strings attached. Players can earn points depending on their success to spend in the DDO store, with premium content modules, extra character slots, hirelings, potions, unique customizations, and more. The graphics aren't phenomenal, but there is a great online community for this classic RPG, with easy control and realistic combat.
There is a plethora of free online games available on the Web for your gaming fix—award winning, high quality, immersive video games you don't have to spend a single cent on to play. With these online MMORPGs, you can join in a vast online community and play with many others with a constantly changing environment of battles, quests, journeys and more.

Mayor Tom Leppert Has a Stalker
As far as stalkers go, he's a pretty good one. David Hopkins writes the semi-regular comic strip called Souvenir of Dallas that appears in the "print product" (Paul Milligan makes the pretty pictures that go with the words). David is working on a strip about Mayor Leppert's freakishly large hands. Toward that end, he spent some time this weekend trailing Leppert and making him feel self-conscious about his hands (check em out). Jump for David's report:
I followed Mayor Tom Leppert around town this weekend as research for an upcoming installment of Souvenir of Dallas. My journalistic integrity was high, and my sense of respect for his personal space was at a minimum. I'm proud to say I was an enduring presence in his weekend. Metaphorically speaking, I became that friend who is always the last person to leave the party. You enjoyed his company about an hour ago; now it's time for him to go, but he just won't take the hint.
On Friday night, Shakespeare Dallas hosted the Bard's Birthday Bash to celebrate their upcoming 37th season, and obviously, to wish Shakespeare a happy birthday. The event was held at Times Ten Cellars Too. While waiting for the mayor to arrive, I talked with Meredith Quirin and Raphael Parry about their summer season. Shakespeare in the Park will be presenting Othello and All's Well That Ends Well. Raphael commented that this year has "a social justice theme for the season." I was particularly interested in his concept to give Othello a 1920s spin. They hadn't performed the play in twelve years, and Ralphael felt it was time.
The Mayor arrived, and Raphael got to him first. Afterward, I met Mayor Leppert and shook his hand. I had heard stories, but I didn't know whether or not to believe them. People have agendas. They tend to exaggerate. However, I can safely verify: The mayor's hands are huge! I had to comment. "Your hands are huge." I proceeded to ask him more questions about his hands. His response was modest, "I had never thought about it before" holding his enormous paws out in front of himself. To quote Othello, Act III, Scene 4: "Our new heraldry is hands, not hearts."
The Mayor was invited to say a few words, "Cities are known by their arts and the way they reach out to the community." Well, not all cities. Some cities are known by their high crime rate. But you know, whatever. Let's be glad we have Shakespeare Dallas. Then Raphael Parry gave some additional remarks. While he was speaking, I noticed Mayor Leppert was standing off to the side with his arms folded. Was he now self-conscious about his hands? Was he trying to conceal them? Raphael then invited everyone to sing happy birthday to Shakespeare. We all goofed the last line. One half of the audience decided to sing "Happy birthday dear … Shakespeare" whereas the people on a first name basis with the playwright sang "William." After the song, the Mayor blew out the candles.
On Saturday, I went to another birthday party. Good Records on Greenville Avenue was celebrating eight years with live bands, free food, cheap beer, and sno-cones. The mayor wasn't there, but he should have been. Zac Crain was there. I told Zac about my weekend plans with Mayor Leppert. Somehow the topic of Leppert's sasquatch-like hands came up. How could it not? Zac told me the mayor once patted him on the back, and he was nearly knocked over. I could believe it.
Afterward, I went to the Damien Hirst exhibit at the Goss-Michael Foundation. Once again, I didn't see the mayor, but I did see a cow preserved in formaldehyde, bound to a steel girder and pierced with numerous arrows. While interesting, this was not the strangest thing I saw that day. (I'll get to that soon enough.)
That evening, my girlfriend April and I attended the Celebrity Waiter Gala at Hotel Palomar, an annual benefit for the Child Abuse Prevention Center. One minute into the event, I found the Mayor. I approached him and tried my best to make small talk. Although, all I really wanted to do was talk about his hands. I held mine up, hoping he'd take the cue to compare hands. (Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene 5: "And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.") But the mayor was preoccupied, and had to leave. I turned around, and there was Shakespeare! Actually, Robert Clover-Brown aka Shakespeare Man, he was one of the participating celebrities. While oddly coincidental, still not the strangest thing I saw that day.
Before dinner, I spoke with Margaret Patterson about the Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Center. Apparently, all their funds for the year are raised through this one event. The previous year, the Center served over 2,600 people at risk for child abuse and neglect. It's an incredible organization that has programs, among other things, about teaching teen parents coping methods and alternatives to shaking their babies. I know this is an important cause, because I kept overhearing people saying, "It's for such a good cause." I kept a running tally. By the end of the evening, I overheard the phrase "It's for such a good cause" exactly seven times.
April and I sat down at our table. The press was given a table at the far back of the room. A bit problematic, because the speakers were at the front, and this crowd was hard to keep quiet. Thus, the people reporting on the event had the hardest time hearing everything. People around me tried the whole tapping on their glass with a fork or spoon. Yeah. Right. After the speakers said … stuff, dinner arrived. I witnessed Miss Texas Molly Hazlett, wearing her crown and an apron, serve me my dinner salad. For the record, that was the strangest thing I saw all day.
It should be noted the Mayor was working like crazy. He was all over the place, getting into the whole celebrity waiter role. At one point in the evening, he had a bottle of wine in each hand, running around filling glasses. I was impressed. Council member Angela Hunt was also there as a celebrity waiter. She did not look as happy as Mayor Leppert — possibly because she was surrounded by people who voted for the toll road, and would probably vote for a convention center hotel. Stay strong, Angela!
The silent auction began immediately after dinner. Tom Leppert's wife had the winning bid on item #2, a print on canvas of an oversized plant by Shanny Lott. I will reserve my opinion of Shanny Lott's art for another time. After all, I went to see a cow in formaldehyde, and thought that was pretty cool. Towards the end of the evening, the Mayor snuck up and patted me on the back. Zac Crain was right. Ten minutes later, I could still feel Leppert's hand on my back. I forgot to bring cash to the Gala, so I couldn't tip a valet. Instead, I parked in front of Jason's Deli, and we walked it. On the way back, my girlfriend's high heels were killing her, and my back still hurt.
Then on Sunday, Oak Cliff celebrated Earth Day at Lake Cliff Park. Hippies were everywhere — hackie sacks, drum circles, people waving tie-dyed flags, others trying to sell carbon offsets like they were Girl Scout cookies. The Mayor was easy to spot in this crowd. Look for the Republican holding a shovel. He had to stand there with his shovel for about twenty minutes while everyone took pictures. I didn't quite understand what was going on. How many pictures do you need of a guy with a shovel? By the time he was done holding the shovel, I approach him again. We talked about Saturday night's fundraiser. He asked if I had a good time. I said yes. The steak and salmon rocked, and I avoided valet. The event was cool. He added, "And it's for such a good cause." That's eight times I've heard the phrase. I mentioned how hard he worked. I told him if the mayor-thing didn't work out he could always get a job as a waiter. He laughed, but I couldn't tell if he was amused.
I guess our weekend together was over. We shook hands, mine completely lost in his, and parted ways. (Henry VI Part 3 Act IV, Scene 6: "Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts." — David Hopkins

Date: November 03, 2017
01) Corey Feldman Opens Up About His Plan To Expose Hollywood Pedophiles – TODAY
"On the heels of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, former child star Corey Feldman is trying to fund a film he says will expose a ring of pedophiles in the movie industry. In an exclusive interview on TODAY, Feldman tells Matt Lauer, "It will be a very true story, we will have every name."
02) Corey Feldman names some of his alleged abusers
"Corey Feldman has finally named a few of the men he claims abused him as a child star.
The eighties child actor, who has alleged he and Corey Haim suffered abuse at the hands of a Hollywood pedophile ring for years, appeared on "Dr. Oz" on Thursday, naming bit actor and his former assistant Jon Grissom, before calling the LAPD's Elite Special Assault Section.
On Monday on Megyn Kelly, Feldman also named child talent manager and convicted sex offender Marty Weiss, who has not commented on the allegations."
…Now, we are finally moving in a dedicated direction.
Neither Jon Grissom nor Marty Weiss sound familiar…and there is question on whether they are genuinely powerful in Hollywood…But at least Corey is starting to put names to his allegations.
People talk about Corey having gone to the police back in 1993, and telling all…and there not being legal grounds on which to press charges…And they act like the main public is supposed to be satisfied with this…over all these years, where Corey has been appealing to the main public, yet withholding critical information like this.
…He wasn't dealing with the police anymore…He was habitually coming to the public, and appealing to us, without ever presenting to us anything tangible.
This is what's been so frustrating…He shows up in the media every so many years, to poke a stick at the fire…and rile up the public into an anti-pedophile frenzy…but he constantly refused to back anything up, with even the bare minimal of information.
What he told the police back in 1993 doesn't count for anything here…He hasn't been appealing to them, all these many years.
