text: New Antique is a collection that is inspired by the historical jewels. In design they can recall a certain historical period for the use of workmanship, new materials or pieces of antique jewelry, then reinterpreted with a contemporary taste or simply combined in an original way. wearing them is reassuring and the strength of the past is regenerated in the present

Do you want to make your own beaded jewelry? Design a choker with glass or gemstone beads, learning color, texture, and scale.
Designing a beaded choker is not difficult. There are a few simple principles to keep in mind, however, whether you decide to use glass or gemstone beads.
1) Standard choker length is 16". This can be adjusted for a custom fit, but 16" is the length to start with.
2) Color choice is subjective.
Pleasing combinations are: purple/blue/green
any color with white or clear (purple,blue, black, green)
One-color chokers are beautiful, also. When choosing colors, keep in mind what you will wear with your jewelry. For this reason, I make multi-colored chokers that go with everything.
3) Texture is the feel your choker has with the use of various shapes and sizes of beads. Different shapes are round, barrel, rice, star, heart, tube, swirl, chip, oval and chevron. A lot of variety will yield a very textured piece of jewelry. You can achieve a smooth texture with similarly shaped and sized beads.
4) Scale must be considered when making jewelry. The size of your choker must be in proportion to the wearer. If the woman is petite, smaller beads should be used. If the choker is for a big woman, she would look better in larger beads, or several strands of small beads.
To design your choker, lay a white washcloth out on your work table. All colors show up well on white, and the nubbiness of the terrycloth will prevent them from rolling away.
First, pick your colors, sizes and shapes of beads you want to use. Then decide on a focal point. This is a large central bead that will capture the eye. It can be a round bead, a shaped bead, something smooth or carved. Lay it on your washcloth. Now line up some other shapes along side it. Use smaller beads, so the focal point will stand out.
Experiment with texture, color and scale. Since you are only laying this out, you can rearrange it until you are pleased with it. This is a good experimentation stage.
Line up some beads on either side of the focal point. About an inch and a half away from it, repeat the shape of the focal point. Or use something of the same size and color. Good design comes in threes, so you will have three beads for the main design, and the rest of the choker will act as a background to show them off.
Keep adding beads until you have reached the desired length. Always put larger beads more toward the center, and taper their size down towards the ends, where the clasp will be.

This is by far the biggest project I've undertaken lately and seen through. My eBook Uprooting: Strategies for Successful Career Transition is now available for free! Now that I finally have a sense of direction, this is the year I'm committing to taking the first steps toward the rest of my career — and I want that for you too. As a little thank you to the positive forces in the universe that have finally given me some clarity, I've created what I hope will be a useful resource for people that are feeling stuck like I was. I'm not a life coach or career counselor. I'm just like you, working toward turning my passion into a profitable career, but I've picked up a few tricks along the way. I've compiled some lessons learned from my experience thus far, mistakes I've made (so many mistakes), nuggets of wisdom that inspired me … Read More
Audio Book Battle: Ambrosini vs. Sincero
So you're thinking about switching careers, but maybe you're not feeling so confident. Do you have one of those nagging voices in the back of your mind telling you there's no way you'll pull off your next goal? I think many of us struggle with the beast that is negative self-talk at some point, and sometimes all we need to push through is a little encouragement and a reminder of just how in control and capable we really are. Over the past 2 years or so I've become a total junkie of personal and professional development books. While most have been geared toward business and entrepreneurship, I recently found myself in possession of two audio books which fell more into the self-help category. I love to read, but I can't always squeeze in the time to sit down with an actual book, hence my recent obsession with Audible. Audible allows me to consume content while … Read More

By: Darrelyn L. Tutt
You could have heard a pin drop,
When I walked into the room;
As voices stilled the air was filled,
Instead by my perfume.
Conscious of the awkward glares,
And whispers I could hear;
I knew I didn't deserve to be,
Beside a man so pure.
Yet here I was … right at His feet,
An overwhelming awe;
Replaced my fears as silent tears,
Fell on the feet of God.
I kissed His feet, and then I wept,
And wiped them with my hair;
Oh grace divine… that knew my kind,
Yet let me linger there.
And with an alabaster jar,
Of oil and perfume;
I lavished all I had on Him,
Until it filled the room.
Then looking up in Jesus' face,
It seemed that time was stilled;
For something deep within my soul,
That hungered … had been filled.
He was Jesus, I the harlot,
In one moment He defined,
Grace to me, a scarlet sinner,
Love to fill a heart like mine.
Mercy given to the hungry,
Love that pierces to the soul;
There is pardon for the sinner,
There is grace to make us whole.
"And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil; and stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil….
Therefore I say to you, her sins which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much.
But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
Luke 7:37-38,47

DOVER — The Woodman Museum brought the Atlantic Ocean to Dover on Thursday during "Discover the Ocean Day."
Although the Great Bay and its Wildlife refuge is some four miles away, this day the Woodman's campus teemed with aquatic information as the UNH Marine Docents brought hands-on to the venerable museum.
Visitors from as far away as France arrived to touch, learn and experience starfish, horseshoe crabs, lobsters, squid and other marine mammals as the more than 30 expert docents, including Ed Rowan, gave interesting and educational descriptions of things like the big and little claws on a lobster while holding up a rapidly moving crustacean.
Several summer camps were on the scene, from the 3- to 6-year-old students from Dover's My School, to a large contingent of older campers from Camp Rolly in Rollinsford. Camp Director Andy Gray enjoyed the opportunity given to his charges. "This is so much better than seeing this on TV," said Gray. "These professionals make it real and give the kids a chance to interact."
Eleven-year-old camper Mercedez Sanchez enjoyed her hands-on experience "dissecting the squids", while friend Ilyana Boudle echoed her delight at examining the innards of the animal and also learning about the vibrations put out by whales as they find their food.
Relative to whales, many had the opportunity to put their hand in the "blubber glove" which demonstrates how they stay warm in cold waters.
Docent Dane Drasher manned the gundalow mock-up tent and gloried not only in describing the 17th and 18th century conveyance, but also empowered the youngsters "to be able to do anything they put their minds to," referring to the construction of the miniature famous area watercraft.
At several junctures a live feed with world famous oceanographer/marine biologist/explorer Dr. Robert Ballard and several members of the crew of the research ship the Nautilus took place; it gave local viewers an obviously exciting opportunity to live chat with those on the ship, which at this time is off Baja, Calif.
Visitors Heather Whittier, Adrianna and Janelle George were thrilled by the opportunity to ask questions of the scientists.
Heather and Adrianna are middle school students from Milford. "I have enjoyed the entire experience today," Heather said. Adrianna singled out "handling the horseshoe crabs, starfish and the technical and scientific explanations on math and science given the excellent docents."
Adrianna's mother, Janelle, was impressed by the day's offerings. "I am from Kansas; this is all fascinating."
Marine Program Co-Ordinator Dari Ward enjoyed the opportunity to share some of the information available about Great Bay. She explained that the general public can access much more information and opportunities, and can take advantage of the "Be a Scientist for a Day on Great Bay program" on the UNH research vessel Gulf Challenger. Information on Gulf Challenger can be found at www.seagrant.unh.edu/DCSSchedule.

Andy is an Orange Star CO whose lack of any strengths or weaknesses allows for more versatile play. As such, Andy is a good CO choice for beginners.
Day-to-day Effects: None. All of Andy's units have regular offense and defense.
Power: Hyper Repair -- All of Andy's units gain 2 HP, but will not exceed 10 HP. They also gain 10% increased offense and defense.
Super: Hyper Upgrade -- All of Andy's units gain 5 HP, but will not exceed 10 HP. They also gain 20% increased offense, 10% increased defense, and +1 movement.
Having average units across the board, Andy has no inherent weaknesses. As such, Andy can compete in many matchups. Due to his lack of any Day-to-Day abilities, Andy is relatively weak in the early game, instead relying on his powers in the mid-to-late-game.
For 3 Stars, Hyper Repair (COP) is a rather underwhelming power, and should only be used if Andy's units desperately need 2 HP, like after suffering an opponent's Mass Damage Power. Otherwise, it is generally preferable to save up for Hyper Upgrade (SCOP). Hyper Upgrade gives Andy a huge advantage with increased offense and movement on top of the 5HP global repair. When playing as Andy players should keep severely damaged units alive as they can be restored with Hyper Upgrade, giving Andy high comeback potential. Players may also consider using Hyper Upgrade at or near the end of the turn under specific circumstances. This would allow players to take especially risky moves or attacks without risking a devastating counterattack.
If playing against Andy, focus on eliminating his units entirely. This will weaken the power of his SCOP. Be especially mindful as his Power Bar increases.

SAN FRANCISCO – Barry Zito wore an orange Metallica trucker hat when he met with reporters following the Giants' 2-1 victory Friday night.
Buster Posey said, "Yeah, I listen to 'em" when asked if he was a fan of the iconic rock band.
Seems like everyone was having fun with Metallica Night at AT&T Park. So in that spirit, we'll use a special format for this edition of Extra Baggs:
Let's go with the Dodgers roster, which is lacking propellant these days. Not only did they lose cleanup hitter Adrian Gonzalez before the first pitch because of a sore neck, but they lost a second cleanup hitter when Hanley Ramirez injured his left hamstring while trying to go first to third.
[RELATED: Kershaw deals with adversity, lack of run support]
For all the money they've spent, the Dodgers infield in the late innings consisted of Jerry Hairston Jr., Nick Punto, Justin Sellers and Juan Cruz.
Oh, and rookie right-hander Matt Magill will be pressed into service again to start Saturday.
It did not toll for Giants relievers who walked off the mound with runners on base. Chad Gaudin stranded Barry Zito's runner. George Kontos stranded both of Gaudin's runners. Santiago Casilla stranded both of Jeremy Affeldt's runners.
"Casilla has done it a ton for me, and I haven't even pitched that much," said Affeldt, who just came off the disabled list.
Casilla has allowed just three of 19 inherited runners to score. Kontos has stranded nine of 11.
The Dodgers' Nick Punto made it clear that he didn't like umpire Joe West's strike zone. But at least West was consistently inconsistent to both teams. When Sergio Romo threw the same pitch in the same spot with a 2-2 count to Matt Kemp, he didn't get the call. Kemp followed with a single before Romo worked his way out of the ninth inning.
Zito had to pull the string a few times, as the leadoff man reached in each of the six innings he started. But he got three double-play grounders, and some terrific defense from Hunter Pence (who threw out Ramirez trying to go first to third) and Brandon Belt (who threw out a runner at the plate).
"Tonight was tough for me," Zito said. "I didn't have my command at all. I just tried to make good pitches and I only did half or two thirds of the time."
I'm sure Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly will love reading those comments. The Dodgers stranded 13 runners, including one in eight of nine innings.
Pence made a tremendous throw from right field. So did Matt Kemp, when he threw out Posey trying to score from second base on Pence's single in the sixth. Outfield assists make for terrific baseball, do they not?
That's what Carl Crawford's pinch single nearly represented in the eighth inning. But somehow, Joaquin Arias was able to range all the way up the middle and get a glove on it. If the ball had squeaked through, Andre Ethier would've scored the tiebreaking run from second base. Instead, Ethier held at third and Arias made an unbelievable, off-balance throw that almost beat Crawford to first base.
This was just Arias' first start of the season at shortstop, too. Not too shabby.
The song will always be associated with Mariano Rivera, and to a lesser extent, Billy Wagner. But it takes a backseat to "El Mechon" here at AT&T Park.
Romo got the win, though it took him 22 pitches. That isn't a huge amount, but amazingly, it's the most he's thrown in an outing this season. He was appearing in his 17th game – a workload he's been able to handle because he's been so efficient. (His previous high was 20 pitches.)
It worked out to Romo's benefit that Ramirez went down with an injury. He would've batted third against Romo in the ninth – and as both gentlemen would well remember, Ramirez took the right-hander deep twice last season.
Buster Posey was 0 for 6 with a walk and five strikeouts against Ronald Belisario.
Now he's 1 for 7.
But before we do, check out video of Posey's last walk-off hit before Friday night – a homer in the 13th inning for Single-A San Jose in 2009.
Final score: Giants 2, Dodgers 1.

Amazon is in the process of developing their own private-label brands and they will be known as Happy Belly, Wickedly Prime and Mama Bear. Amazon will be directly selling nuts, spices, tea, coffee, baby food and vitamins, as well as household items such as diapers and laundry detergents, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Amazon has always been known for selling their own tech products, but a private brand for perishable items is huge business. Store brands sales reached $118.4 billion in the US in 2015, an all-time record and an increase of about $2.2 billion from the prior year, according to the Private Label Manufacturers Association.
If you are an Amazon Prime member the first wave of products will be launched sometime this month or June at the latest.

'You don't have to be an actor, you don't need to have ever thought about being an actor'
Shia LaBeouf is opening a theatre school in LA called the Slauson Recreation Centre. The actor announced on Twitter that all you need to participate is to have a story that you're willing to share. If you don't like it, you can leave, but if you're willing to come back, then he'll be there every Saturday at 9am "building shit with whoever shows up".
Slauson Rec has been founded by LaBeouf, Bobby Soto and Shelley Mitchell. On the theatre school's site, it's described as "an unconventional, experimental, devised theater. We write performance not text. We develop cutting-edge material in-house, through improvisation, nonfictional acting, and collaborative group work."
The first class is a meet and greet, and opens this Saturday on Compton Ave, LA. Check out here if you want to sign up.
Make it sacred. @SlausonRechttps://t.co/7CbHD2QDNYpic.twitter.com/pi5j5S7ibq— Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) September 6, 2018

North America was settled by people with distinct religious, political, and ethnographic characteristics, creating regional cultures that have been at odds with one another ever since. Subsequent immigrants didn't confront or assimilate into an "American" or "Canadian" culture, but rather into one of the eleven distinct regional ones that spread over the continent each staking out mutually exclusive territory.
In American Nations, Colin Woodard leads us on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, and the rivalries and alliances between its component nations, which conform to neither state nor international boundaries. He illustrates and explains why "American" values vary sharply from one region to another. Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how intranational differences have played a pivotal role at every point in the continent's history, from the American Revolution and the Civil War to the tumultuous sixties and the "blue county/red county" maps of recent presidential elections. American Nations is a revolutionary and revelatory take on America's myriad identities and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and are molding our future.
A New Edition of the Phenomenal #1 Bestseller
"One mark of a great book is that it makes you see things in a new way, and Mr. Friedman certainly succeeds in that goal," the Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz wrote in The New York Times reviewing The World Is Flat in 2005. In this new edition, Thomas L. Friedman includes fresh stories and insights to help us understand the flattening of the world. Weaving new information into his overall thesis, and answering the questions he has been most frequently asked by parents across the country, this third edition also includes two new chapters--on how to be a political activist and social entrepreneur in a flat world; and on the more troubling question of how to manage our reputations and privacy in a world where we are all becoming publishers and public figures.
The World Is Flat 3.0 is an essential update on globalization, its opportunities for individual empowerment, its achievements at lifting millions out of poverty, and its drawbacks--environmental, social, and political, powerfully illuminated by the Pulitzer Prize--winning author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree.

DIN Rail 3-Series® Automation Processor
The DIN-AP3 is a Crestron® 3-Series Control System® designed for DIN rail mounting applications. It includes built-in control ports, high-speed Ethernet, Cresnet®, and BACnet™/IP support. DIN rail mounting affords a very space-efficient, cost-effective, and modular solution for configuring complete automation systems using the DIN-AP3 along with additional Crestron and third-party DIN rail mountable devices.
Get Custom Programming from 4TEC
The Crestron DIN-AP3 is a 3-Series Control System designed for DIN rail mounting applications. Featuring the 3-Series control engine, the DIN-AP3 forms the core of any modern networked home or commercial building, managing and integrating all the disparate technologies throughout the facility to make life easier, greener, more productive, and more enjoyable.
DIN Rail MountingThe DIN-AP3 is designed to snap onto a standard DIN rail for installation in a wall mount enclosure (Crestron DIN-EN series [1] or similar) or on a wall panel. DIN rail mounting affords a very space-efficient, cost-effective, and modular solution for configuring complete automation systems using the DIN-AP3 along with additional Crestron and third-party DIN rail mountable devices.
Modular Programming ArchitectureDesigned for enhanced scalability, the DIN-AP3 affords high-speed, real-time multi-tasking to seamlessly run multiple programs simultaneously. This exclusive modular programming architecture lets programmers independently develop and run device-specific programs for lighting, shades, HVAC, security, AV, etc., allowing for the optimization of each program, and allowing changes to be made to one program without affecting the whole. Even as your system grows, processing resources can easily be shifted from one 3-Series processor to another without rewriting any code. The end benefit is dramatically simplified upgradability with minimal downtime, whether implementing changes on site or remotely via the network.
Robust Ethernet & IP ControlIP technology is the heart of 3-Series, so it should be no surprise that its networking abilities are second to none. High-speed Ethernet connectivity enables integration with IP-controllable devices and allows the DIN-AP3 to be part of a larger managed control network. Whether residing on a sensitive corporate LAN, a home network, or accessing the Internet through a cable modem, the DIN-AP3 provides secure, reliable interconnectivity with IP-enabled touch screens, computers, mobile devices, video displays, media servers, security systems, lighting, HVAC, and other equipment — whether on premises or across the globe.
Control Apps & XPanelYears ago, Crestron pioneered the world's first IP-based control system unleashing vast new possibilities for controlling, monitoring, and managing integrated systems over a LAN, WAN, and the Internet. Today, Crestron offers more ways than ever to control your world the way you want. Using a computer, smartphone, or tablet device, Crestron lets you control anything in your home or workplace from anywhere in the world.
Native to every 3-Series control system, Crestron XPanel technology transforms any laptop or desktop computer into a virtual Crestron touch screen. Crestron control apps deliver the Crestron touch screen experience to iPhone®, iPad®, and Android™ devices, letting you safely monitor and control your entire residence or commercial facility using the one device that goes with you everywhere.
Crestron Fusion® CloudCrestron Fusion Cloud provides an integrated platform for creating truly smart buildings that save energy, enhance worker productivity, and prolong the life-span of valuable equipment. As part of a complete managed network in a corporate enterprise, college campus, convention center, or any other facility, the DIN-AP3 works integrally with Crestron Fusion Cloud to enable remote scheduling, monitoring, and control of rooms and technology from a central help desk. It also enables organizations to reduce energy consumption by tracking real-time usage and automating control of lighting, shades, and HVAC.
Astronomical Time Clock FeatureScheduled events may be programmed on the DIN-AP3 according to an astronomical time clock. As a result, events can be set to occur at specific times or at an offset from sunrise or sunset.
SNMP SupportBuilt-in SNMP support enables integration with third-party IT management software, allowing network administrators to manage and control Crestron systems on the network in an IT-friendly format.
Cresnet®Cresnet provides a dependable network wiring solution for Crestron keypads, lighting controls, shade motors, thermostats, occupancy sensors, and other devices that don't require the higher speed of Ethernet. The Cresnet bus offers easy wiring and configuration, carrying bidirectional communication and 24VDC power to each device over a simple 4-conductor cable. To assist with troubleshooting, the DIN-AP3 includes our patent-pending Network Analyzer which continuously monitors the integrity of the Cresnet network for wiring faults, marginal performance, and other errors.
The DIN-AP3 includes a pair of Cresnet master ports (paralleled) capable of supporting approximately 20 typical devices. Larger systems with more than 20 devices can be handled by adding the DIN-HUB Cresnet Distribution Hub or DIN-CENCN-2 Ethernet to Cresnet Bridge [1]. Connectivity for multiple homeruns can be facilitated using one or more DIN-BLOCK Cresnet Distribution Blocks [1]. Additionally, at least one DIN-PWS50 Cresnet Power Supply [1] is required to power the DIN-AP3 and any connected Cresnet devices.
Onboard Control PortsIn addition to Ethernet, the DIN-AP3 includes a variety of control ports for interfacing with third-party equipment. Its two bidirectional COM ports and four IR ports allow for interfacing with security systems, small appliances, and AV devices. Four programmable relay ports are provided for controlling projection screens, lifts, power controllers, and other contact-closure actuated equipment. Eight "Versiport" I/O ports enable the integration of power sensors, motion detectors, door switches, alarms, or anything else that provides a dry contact closure, low-voltage logic, or 0-10 Volt DC signal.
Additional control ports, lighting and motor controls, and other types of interfaces can be added easily using Crestron DIN Rail series lighting and automation modules.
BACnet™/IPNative support for the BACnet/IP communication protocol provides a direct interface to third-party building management systems over Ethernet, simplifying integration with HVAC, security, fire & life safety, voice & data, lighting, shades, and other systems. Using BACnet/IP, each system runs independently with the ability to communicate together on one platform for a truly smart building.[2]

Jim Cassidy and Camden Bucey revisit Paul Woolley's article, "Discontent!" as it pertains to the ministry of the church. Woolley presents two forms of discontent in the church that lead either to pursuing a worldly or Christ-centered agenda. While Woolley wrote in 1944, his lessons are just as applicable today. Dr. Woolley was a founding faculty member of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and taught at the seminary from 1929 until his retirement in 1977. He also became a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church upon its founding in 1936.
At the end of the episode, Jonathan Brack shares several fascinating stories about the early professors, such as Paul Woolley and John Murray, at Westminster Theological Seminary.

The momentum for the Sustainable Farms and Fields Grants bill (SB 5947) continues to grow!
SB 5947 sailed through the state Senate on March 6th with bipartisan support and CarbonWA's strong grassroots mobilization.
SB 5947, which provides "…financial assistance to farmers and ranchers that adopt changes in management practices that reduce fossil fuel inputs and increase the quantity of carbon stored on their land," passed by a two-to-one margin (32-15), indicating the widespread support it generated and the effectiveness of the Carbon Washington supporters who urged their senators to vote yes.
"We were surprised at how fast the vote came up, but the outpouring of grassroots support for the bill was probably one of the reasons it moved so quickly," said Greg Rock, Carbon Washington's policy chair. Particularly encouraging was the bipartisan vote, with four Republicans joining every Democrat in voting yes.
With the success in the senate, Carbon Washington will focus its efforts on passing the bill in the House. First up is pushing for a hearing from the Rural Development, Agriculture, & Natural Resources Committee. To secure a hearing and an eventual vote, pressure from constituents will be as vital as it was in the Senate.

In this video, we are going to discuss the 5th and final P of the 5-P's to success. The 5- P's to success are the principles you need to develop to obtain the mental toughness needed to succeed.
The 5-P's are:
1. Passion-your ultimate goal
2. Perception: Who we think we are
3. Perspective: Who we really want to be
4. Progressing: A Moving Forward mindset
5. Perseverance- Don't quit – Never give-up
The 5th P is Perseverance: Don't Quit You have to have a burning desire a passion, a written plan to obtaining that passion if you want to develop the Mental Toughness that Never quit attitude that is needed to overcome setbacks. Mental Toughness is the ability to MOVE FORWARD under pressure. Perseverance is defined as the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.
So how do you develop perseverance, you must learn how to overcome obstacles and adversity. You must develop the ability to go over, under, around or through those things that get in the way of achieving your potential or goal. The only way you will do this is if you have a master plan a target that your shooting for that you know you will reach someday, no matter how far away that someday is. Never quit attitude is a mindset that I will continue in a forward motion towards my dreams and let nothing stop me along the way. Even if you have a setback, a delay of plans an interruption of your journey, never lose sight of the final goal and keeping moving towards it even if it takes your entire life to get there.
You see most people when faced by a challenge quit or shut down. Three things happen to people in the midst of crisis they either rise up and fight, or freeze in the circumstance of their setback or they quit, give up and tell themselves it wasn't meant to be. All their doing in this situation when quitting is giving themselves a reason, justifying it in their own minds so they can move past it. The sad part is they never really find out how close there where or that with a little push they may have move forward enough to complete the goal. That goal then becomes a WHAT IF in their life, from time to time in life they will second guess themselves and say what if I just kept going? To me that is the biggest sadness of one's life to live in a what if world. I say Why not you, Why not now? Preserve DON'T QUIT!

"It's so great to be here, in the place that brought us the Grateful Dead ..." (pause for the inevitable boos and catcalls) "... What's the matter with you people? Why are you so ANGRY?"
The anger in the new song Avenue A seemed genuine enough, though, with HD biting off the words with exaggerated care and spitting out the lyrics, about the gentrification of the Lower East Side neighborhood where he opened his bar ...
It's not what you do, it's what you say
And it's not who you know, it's who you pay ...
Down on Avenue A
I think HD vocally was strong as I've ever heard him, maybe stronger. He was certainly aided by the mix, which had the vocals dead-center and crystal-clear (although his mike failed for one song and he grabbed Andy's). But primarily I think he's learned to use what he's got for maximum effect. And what he's got now is like a finely-honed bludgeon ... and if that seems like a contradiction in terms, well, it's just another of the Sacred Mysteries of the Dictators.
(To an audience member requesting "I Got You Babe") "Thank you, thank you for remembering ... and I'll remind you all that Cher's part was sung by Andy ..."
"You know, they put us in with the punk bands, but really, what have I got to be angry about? I'm in this beautiful city, I'm up here, everyone's watching me, I'm getting paid, I'm getting laid as much as I want ..."
Andy, doing a double-take: "You're getting paid?"
"I was 16 years old, staying in upstate New York, my grandmother was looking after me ... we were out front of the bungalow, cottage, whatever they called it in the old days ... and we're grilling hamburgers ... and she just cooked the taste out of them, I hated it ..."
HD went into a spiel about grilling hamburgers with Grandma Manitoba, which led to a tug-of-war over the spatula, and thence to grandma going "on her ass" onto the ground ...
"And if I'd been a nice guy, I'd have gone over and helped her up, like they do in football ... but ..."
(someone in the crowd: "ASSHOLE!"
HD: "Yeah, that's right, you guessed it ... you win the contest ...")
"... But I went over to her, and stood over her, and I said Grandma ... learn your lesson ... this isn't just your grandson standing here ... I AM HANDSOME DICK MANITOBA ... and I AM RIGHT!"

The Knicks are staging a late-season resurgence so forceful, so convincing, that they have practically altered time, making March look like November.
Their defense looks sturdy, their shooting splendid, and even their health woes no longer seem so woeful in the midst of a six-game winning streak — their longest since Nov. 2-15. In the past week, the Knicks have vanquished the Boston Celtics, pushed their win total to 44 (their highest in 12 years) and roughed up the gritty Memphis Grizzlies. They are 18 games over .500 for the first time since 2000.
In the process, the Knicks have all but locked up the Atlantic Division title. Emphasis on "all but."
The Nets, those pesky upstarts with the $88 million roster and the sparkly new arena across the East River, remain stubbornly on the Knicks' heels, refusing to cede the race to their local rivals.
As of Thursday, the Knicks (44-26) had a two-and-a-half-game lead over the Nets (42-29), with a three-game lead in the loss column. The gap is wide enough to make the Knicks the clear favorites but small enough to make them uncomfortable: a single losing streak could cost them the division title.
The Nets, in the midst of a stretch of eight straight road games, were supposed to have faded by now. But they have been surprisingly resilient, winning four of the first five games, including blowouts of Dallas and Portland. A bigger test looms Friday at Denver, but the Nets may catch a break: Ty Lawson, the Nuggets' star point guard, might miss the game because of a heel injury. The trip continues Saturday at Utah, against the downward-spiraling Jazz.
A week ago, the Nets appeared to have the tougher closing schedule, and they were all but dismissed as a threat to win the division. But the (so far) successful road trip has changed the calculus. It is now the Knicks who have the tougher road the rest of the way.
Of the Knicks' final 12 games, 8 will pit them against likely playoff teams. The Nets face just four likely playoff teams in their final 11 games, and their opponents are not nearly as imposing as the Knicks'.
The Knicks have games at Miami, Atlanta, Oklahoma City and Chicago, in addition to home games against Boston, Milwaukee, Indiana and Atlanta. The Nets have road games against Denver, Boston and Indiana, as well as a home game against Chicago.
It also bears noting that the Knicks have struggled against the league's elite. Since beating San Antonio on Jan. 3, they have gone 1-7 against teams with winning percentages of .600 or better — and 0-5 against Miami, Oklahoma City, Indiana and Chicago.
At the other end of the spectrum, the Nets have six games left against sub-.400 teams: Cleveland, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Toronto, Washington and Detroit. The Knicks have four: Charlotte (twice), Washington and Cleveland.
The home-road splits are nearly identical, with the Knicks playing 6 of their final 12 games at Madison Square Garden and the Nets playing 5 of their final 11 at Barclays Center.
Health could still decide the race. The Knicks have played eight straight games without Tyson Chandler, who is recovering from a neck injury. The Nets have played their last two games without Joe Johnson, who has a thigh injury.
Although few teams celebrate division titles, there is a rivalry to consider in this case, and stakes that go beyond bragging rights. The Atlantic winner will secure the second or third seed in the Eastern Conference, thus avoiding the Heat until the conference finals. The runner-up will most likely fall to fourth, putting that team on course to meet Miami in the second round.
Also, you never know when a mischievous owner might post a billboard near his rival's arena.

Runner Rugs
Comprehensive Selection of Runners and Antique Hall Runner Rugs
Runners and antique runner rugs are any carpets that are characterized by a long and narrow format. Generally, carpet runners are well suited for hallways and stairways. Runner rugs have historically been produced in many different rug-producing countries, and may be Persian rugs, Turkish rugs, or rugs from any other origin. Oriental hall runners have an especially intriguing origin story among the nomadic tribes -people who produced a great many such pieces – for the looms that these nomadic weavers traditionally used had to be portable, and small enough to carry.
Thus, the width of the carpets that they would weave would be fixed to the maximum width of the loom, but there would be no limit to the length that they could run. This curious quirk resulted in the production of a large number of runner rugs, each with a unique story. Among the more fascinating iterations of antique rugs, runner rugs bring a distinct quality to a space, buoyed by their appealing layout.
Read more …
The humble old runner rug is one of the most convenient antique carpet types available today. These practical and versatile rugs are ideal for outfitting hallways and dividing large spaces. Even native Persians preferred the elongated runner format when selecting carpets for their own homes. Today, there are broad corridor carpets, narrow hall carpets and skinny hallway runners that can effectively transition or partition irregular spaces. Hallway runners are available in an amazing variety of styles. There are contemporary runners, traditional runners and classical pieces that feature stunning Persian arabesques.
Antique runner rugs can effortlessly elevate the style of a stark corridor or create a striking visual partition that separates a secluded conversation area from a defined walkway. In the hallway or as the star of the room, rug runners have an alluring style and attractive form that can instantly change the look of any space.
Carpet runners are traditional lengthier rugs that often present in a multitude of different styles and colors. Practically every variety of weaving has developed a type of runner rug that benefits from the unique style's color choices and foreground motifs. These long and narrow rugs are powerful decorative elements because they can effortlessly grace longer sections (such as hallways) in the home. Their length makes them particularly desirable among collectors as well, as they are easier to display on wider and taller walls, resulting in a more elegant tapestry effect.
Runners also provide homeowners with necessary practical appeal, as they are more capable of protecting longer sections of hardwood flooring than most other types of rugs. Because of their length and presentation, runners are often chosen to grace longer areas that are also prone to higher amounts of traffic. Places like walkways and hallways can benefit from the inclusion of a tasteful carpet runner. These rugs not only protect the flooring itself from traffic wear, but the patterns chosen can be a powerful way to unify different rooms and create a common decorating scheme. The use of a runner rug can also be more physically comfortable, especially if you enjoy walking barefoot around your home.
Their long and narrow shape makes them unique among other rectangular rugs for their more specialized arrangement potential. Set them alongside other rugs and smaller pieces of furniture before they lead to another room to create an even stronger degree of synergy between your furnishings. Runners emphasize form and symmetry, which allows them to stand out in all types of environments even better. Though they run longer and are most commonly set vertically, many decorators may also choose to set the rugs horizontally against a curio wall or any other point of interest in the room. If you have a section of negative space that you would like to unify, try to use the symmetrical appeal of the hall runner to your advantage. You do not need to set it far against the wall in order to create a bridge between the visual points that would work best in the room.
Run away with Beautiful Runner Rugs: The ultimate decor for any long, narrow space
Runner rugs are the decorative darling for any long, narrow space. They can effortlessly elevate a hallway or separate a walking path from a living area. Woven by many rug producing countries, the Oriental runner rugs have quite the intriguing story. This is mostly due to nomadic weavers' looms that had to be light weight, small and easily portable.
Therefore, the rugs were limiting in width but could be infinite in length! Runner rugs can be super bright and tribal, or they can be feminine and floral. Some have simple designs, commonly found in our vintage rug collection, while others are very intricate, commonly seen in our Persian rug collection.
Run away with your runners from the Nazmiyal Collection today!

Mauritania Blogger To Remain In Detention
Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz has defended the continued detention of a blogger for allegedly insulting the Prophet Muhammad.
Mauritania Blogger To Remain In Detention
President Abdel Aziz said that the detained blogger Cheikh Ould Mohamed Ould Mkheitir was for "his personal security as well as the country's."
He stressed that from the point of view of the law, he should be freed, but for security reasons, "we cannot place the lives of more than four million Mauritanians at risk,".
The president added that millions of Mauritanians took to the streets to demand his execution, so his release would mean that chaos would be allowed to take root in the country.
Mkheitir was sentenced to death for blasphemy in 2014 but this was downgraded to two years in jail on appeal in 2017.

text: Many connections between mobility and photography are traced and established in this article. It is shown that photography entered discourses of tourism before photography was even invented. Sketching and image hunting were central to pre-photographic tourists and they voiced passionate desires for a machine that could easily fix the fleeting and elusive image of the camera obscura and Claude glasses. The difficulties that Talbot experienced while drawing a foreign prospect with the camera obscura led him to invent photography, while Eastman reinvented photography after realising through his own body that holiday picturing meant 'travelling heavy'. The early history of photography is intimately linked to travel and tourism: pre-photographic tourists desired photography and it became designed with the tourist in mind and later for 'travelling light'. Lightweight and reproducible, photographs were designed for movement too. They were crucial in putting the world on display and globalising the 'tourist gaze'. At a time where travelling was associated with fatigue, hassles and risks on the one hand and visual pleasures on the other, photographs seamlessly transported distant places to the convenient and safe armchair. They allow touristic visual consumption where no actual tourism takes place.
