master can be corrected upon the coming in of his report upon exceptions properly taken. 1'here cannot be any question that the beginning of the suit should not be the limit of time within which damages may be recovered for the use of the patented device. They should be computed to the time, as nearly as may be, of the coming in of the master's report; and the account should embrace not only the damages sustained by infI'inging machines made before the institution of the suit, but also those made afterwards, though the construction be different. Rubber Co. v. Goodyear, 9 Wall. 788; Edison Electric Light Co. v. Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., 54 Fed. 504. Whether the particular machines of the defendant in this case embody any of the claims of the complainants' patent adjudged to be infringed by defendant is properly a question to be determined in the first instance by the master. As to the defendant's responsibility to answer in damages for the use of machines covered byor substantially like those adjudicated upon, the master is bound by the decree, and is not at liberty to take testimony or exercise his judgment; but, "if there is something claimed to be an infringement, which had not been passed upon by the decree, then the question concerning that would be open before the master to be passed upon by him." Wooster v. ThorntoIf, 26 Fed. 274. He cannot review the decree, and inquire into the prior state of the art. The master in this case is limited inhis inquiry as to whether the defendant's machines are subSfi:antially similar to those adjudged by the court to be an infringement of the complainants' patent. Upon this question of fact he should hear both the parties fully, and report his findings to the court. Upon the coming in of the report the parties can file their exceptions founded upon previous objections, and have the court pass upon their validity. It would be productive of interminable delay and much vex'ation if all the disputed questions upon a hearing before the master should, as they arise, be brought before the court for revision and approval. "The court may, but rarely will, interfere with the master's rulings before his report is brought before it for review." Fost. Fed. Prac. § 313. Reference to the court as each question arises is improper. Rob. Pat. § 1157; Sugar Refinery v. Mathiesson, 24 Fed. Cas. 682. The motion to strike out the testimony will not be allowed, and all matters pertaining to the merits will be deferred until the coming in of the master's report.
WELSBACH LIGHT CO. v. SUNLIGHT INCANDESCENT GAS LAMP 00.
(Circuit Court, S. D. New York. 1.
March 25, 1898.)
A patentee is not obliged to state all the known eqUivalents of the materials used by him.
In a patent for the production of an incandescent mantle for lights, the patentee's claim was, "paraffin, or other suitable material, substantially as set forth." In his specifications he stated that "other materials may be
8'\FED)l:RAl.. .REPORTER.
emJ;lloyed, as Jong as tbey set bard at ordinary temperatures, and burn away without mecbatilcal destruction to the mantle." Held, that the patent was infringed by using for the same purpose collodion and castor oil.
The Rawson patent, No. 407,963, for "production of Incandescent mantles," was not antleipated, but covers an .invention of pioneer rank, and is entitled to be so construed as to cover a broad range of equivalents.
'''This difficulty our invention is designed to overcome,. by dipping the. mantles, .after they have been given their proPer into a liquid which will thoroughly .penetrate the pores of the materia,l. and will afterwards set to such a degree of hardness as to protect the materiol from danger of breakage in packing or handling, and which can afterwards be removed without mechanical injury to the mantles, or without leaving any objectionable residue."
The claim in suit is as follows:
"(1) The herein:described itnprcl'vementln strengthening Incandescent mantles, consisting in coating the completed mantle with paraffin, or other suitable material, SUbstantially as set turth."
The defenses are invalidity for lack of invention, and denial of infringement.'" .. Bright's British patent No. 12,305, granted in 1848, for "improvements in lamps, wicks, and covers for vessels for holding oHand other :fluids," interali,u,describes a method of "manufacturing hollow, cylindrical· wicks in a stiffened state," to permit of their easy insertion into

the "by inserting info them paper cases, * · '. 'or by dipping the:rp (not partially but wholly) in wax, or in any other suitable stiffening matter." !thas not the same purpose nor mode of operation as the patent in'suit, and does not anticipate it. Gwynne's patent, No. 52,T88, issued in 1866, for an "improved process for sat· urating wood, ,cloth, paper; etc., with paraffin," and' Toppan's patent, No. for "improv.ed water-repellantmaterial," may be con· sidered ti?gefher. The patentee, Gwynne, says that, "when the paraffin is thus combined with the substances they seem together to form a new substance, inasmuch as it cannot be again expelled," and that substances thus saturated acquire "greatly increased tenacity, tough· ness, power of endurance and of resistance to the action of the elements." ,Toppan describes a similar treatment with a solution of paraffin. Each of these patents describes a process for making wood, paper, and cloth waterproof, by permanently combining them with paraffin. Neither pf them l:\,ttempts to effect the object of the Rawson patent. But defendant relies chiefly upon patent No. 261,529, issued July 25, 1882, to Charles Clatnond, for "means and apparatus for producing intense white light." ,Fig. 9 of the drawings shows a burner composed of magnesian threads. These threads are madeby forcing a wet, plastic material through dies. While thus wet they are shaped into the form of a cone, which is then dried and baked. The resultant product is a fragile, porcelain-like shell or basket of refractory material, capable of use with a gas burner to produce an incandescent light. In connection with this basket, the patentee used small rods formed of the same ,material. It was not claimed that there was any· thing novel in Olamond's magnesium light which is relevant herein. But defendant contends that "this patent shows that the strengthen· ing of such fragile refractory cones, to protect them against breakage in transport and handling, was not new." This contention is founded upon the following statement in Clamond's specification: "The basket may be cased over with paper or other combustible material, so as to strengthen it for transport and handling; this casing being burned away when the jet is ignited." In this chief reliance of defendant I find nothing to detract from the merit of the patented in· vention. There was no strengthening treatment of a refractory mao terial having the form of a textile fabric, no combination with another substance by saturation in a protecting solution, and no process of hardening the protecting solution. In short, Clamond merely proposed to wrap up his porcelain cone in a piece of paper, which would burn off when the cone was placed over a lighted flame. He protected his shell by an ordinary external wrapper, which could be removed in the ordinary way, leaving the shell as before. By tbe Rawson process. the solution so penetrated the interstices of the Welsbach that it became an integral part thereof. But the expert and counsel for defendant claim that:
"All the Rawsons have done Is to apply the old Gwynne process of dipping porous articles into hot, melted paraffin, or the Toppan process of dipping porous articles In paraffin solutions with a volatile hydrocarbon, such as benzine or naphtha, without any difference In their mode of application, or the result obtained therefrom, to the Old purpose of protecting fragile mineral conell In transport and 'handling set forth by Clamond."
I cannot assent to this proposition. The Clamond protecting wrapis not even remotely allie,<I the Rawson strengthening process. The result of the latter is new;dil'ltlhct, and strikingly unexpected. To introduce these processes in this,"new art, and to work out and apply the undeveloped possibilities of this use 9f paraffin in solution in connection with these earths, so as 'to place this light within the reach of the general public, was a most meritorious invention. Defendant says ,it does not infringe, because it does not coat its mantles with I¥lf,affin, or any of the equivalents mentioned in complainant's patent, and relies upon' certain limitations claimed to be disclosed by theftle wrapper. After describing the use of paraffin in the specification, it is there set forth that:
"Other materials may be employed" as long as they set hard at ordinary temperatures. and' burn away without mechanical destruction to the mantle, and without leaving any residue which would Injure the light-giving properties , of the mantle," '
The examiner required the patentee to insert a specifio statement as to what other materials are used,and the following was thereupon ' added:
"The mateltlals, referred to as being capable of use In lieu of parafiln may be any ,solid hydrocarbon of a high boiling point, and many resins and gums soluble III spirit, such as alcohol, etc. Shellac will serve the same purpose, but not quite as advantageously!'
The defend'ant insists that the ,patent cannot be infringed by the use of anYlAiiterials other than those thus specified. It is admitted:
"That the defendant corporation, herein has · .. · and still Is, coating completed mantles or heods, for the purpose of strengthening them for purposes of transport and handlin/o!, by dipping or Immersing them in a solution composed' chiefly of collodion, with the addition of a small percentage of castor oil, and in excess of flve, per cent.; that IilUchsolution is a liquid, which, after the mantle or hood is coated therewith by dipping or Immersing said hood in such solution, will afterwards set at ordinary temperatures to such a degree of hardness as to strengthen the malitle or hood for the purpose of preventing breakage in transport and handling, and of such a charaway, without meacter that it can afterwards be removed, by chanical destruction to the mantle, and without leaVing any residue which would injure the light-giving properties of the mantle or' hood."
Oomplainant contends that this collodion solution is included under the words, "paraffin, or other suitable material, substantially as set forth," in the first claim, notwithstanding the enumeration of equivalents in the patent. The invention of the patent in suit transformed the Welsbach mantle from a laboratory experiment into an article of commerce. That it has successfully overcome the obstacles previously encountered, and has accomplished results quite as important as the original Welsbach invention, is admitted. The evidence as to Welsbach's understanding of the limitations upon the practical use of his light, and the grapWc illustr,ation at the hearing herein of the bold and unique treatment of the fragile mantle, and the success of the adaptations employed in producing the desired results, indicate not only the presence of inventive j:1;enius, but claim for the invention the rank of a pioneer. For these reasons this patent should not be narrowly interpreted, but should be so construed as to cover a broad range of equivalents. The undisputed testimonJ' of Drs. Chandler and
Morton shows that it was well known at the date of this invention that such a collodion solution would operate in the same way as a paraffin or shellac solution, in the treatment of such substances, and was therefore an "other suitable materiaI." That in every other respect the defendant has appropriated the patented process, appears from his admission. While collodion is not chemically. an equivalent of a hydrocarbon resin gum, and is not paraffin or shellac, it performs the same functions, in the same manner and with the same result. A patentee is not obliged, in his specification, to state all the known equivalents of the materials used by him. It is the patent as finally issued which the court is to construe, and upon which the patentee must stand. In this case the patentees have claimed "paraffin, or other suitable material, substantially as set forth." They have set forth that "other materials may be employed, as long as they set hard at ordinary temperatures, and burn away without mechanical destruction to the mantle." The defendant uses a suitable material, known at the date of the invention to have all these properties and characteristics, and has thereby appropriated complainant's product. Let a decree be entered for an injunction and an accounting.
PAUL BOYNTON CO. v. MORRIS CHUTE CO. et aL (Circuit Court of Appeals, Third Circuit. No.4. April 7, 1898.)
Where it is necessary to construe an ambiguous claim, the specification may be resorted to for the purpose of arriving at a better understanding of its meaning, but this may not be done to Ingraft on a perfectiy plain claim a restrictive qualification, which the patentee omitted to "particularly point out."
The words "substantially as described" do not warrant reading into the claim, as an additional element, a device mentioned in the specifications merely as a preferred form of construction; and a patentee who has claimed either more or less than was necessary cannot, In a suit for infringement, be relieved from the consequences thereof.
When a boat so constructed that its sides wllI have the form of and operate as spray deflectors would not present patentable novelty, the objection is not overcome by fixing additional boards to it, and then using it as a toboggan as well as a boat. The Newburg patent, No. 411,255, for an inclined pleasure railway located near a sheet of water, combined with a boat-shaped car or toboggan, adapted, after descending the incline, to enter and float forwardly on the water, and with spray deflectors fixed to Its sides, is for mere structural changes of a toboggan car and boat, and did not involve invention. 82 l!'ed. 440, affirmed.

Nancy Grace Stupidity Abounds
Nancy Grace had an interview with Lee Jeter the father of Kiersten and Kelsey. Their mom slit their throats, everyone knows this who is familiar with this case. Apparently not Nancy Grace. As Lee Jeter was talking about the surgery to Kiersten and that the doctor had sewn and glued her neck back together, she interrupted him and said "sewn her neck back together, what kind of injuries did she have?" This insensitive witch had to know in an attack that involved slitting the throats of two little girls what kind of injuries that they had. I believe that she in a weak attempt for more sensationalism tried to get Lee to break down by repeating himself. I am appalled by her behavior and believe she needs to make a public apology to this man, his family, and all the viewers.

The Washington Huskies (5-4) open Pacific-10 Conference play Thursday, Jan. 2 against UCLA (2-5). Tip-off is 7 p.m. at Bank of America Arena on the UW campus. This is the fourth straight season these two teams have met to begin the Pac-10 season. The Bruins won last season's initial meeting 85-79 at Washington, but lost in their previous four visits to Seattle. After opening the season with three losses, the Huskies won five of their last six games. The current three-game winning streak is their longest of the season. UCLA lost its last three games. For the second straight season, the top eight teams in the final conference regular season standings will compete in the Pac-10 Tournament, March 13-15 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Washington defeated Cal State Northridge 89-80 on Saturday to go over the .500 mark for the first time since Dec. 27, 2001. That was the fifth victory for first-year UW head coach Lorenzo Romar. He has a ways to go before matching the 29 wins Washington posted during his two seasons as a player. Romar was a two-year starting point guard for the Huskies from 1978-79 (11-16) to 1979-80 (18-10). Romar served alongside Steve Lavin as an assistant on UCLA's staff from 1993-96. Husky assistant Cameron Dollar was a four-year Bruin letterman guard from 1994-97, playing for Lavin his final year.
Radio Coverage
All Husky men's basketball games are broadcast live on the Husky Sports Radio Network. Thursday's game against UCLA will be broadcast on KJR (AM 950) in the Puget Sound area. Bob Rondeau provides the play-by-play for the 16th season. He is joined on home broadcasts by color commentator Jason Hamilton, a UW point guard from 1994-96. Fans may now subscribe to an on-line service that allows them to listen to numerous college basketball broadcasts, including Washington's, over the internet for a monthly subscription fee. For more information go to: www.collegesports.com
Triple Threats
The Huskies are shooting 49 percent (32-65) from 3-point range during their current three-game winning streak after hitting 29 percent (22-70) in their first six games. The recent streak pushed the season 3-point accuracy to 40 percent (54-135). Five Huskies are shooting better than 40 percent from 3-point range led by the 60-percent accuracy of sophomore reserve guard David Hudson (9-15).
Second Century
The second century of Washington basketball begins with a prominent player from the first century assuming the head coaching position. Lorenzo Romar, a two-year Husky starting point guard in 1979 and 1980, was hired April 3, 2002 as the 18th coach in the 101-year history of UW basketball. He is the school's first African-American head basketball coach. Romar served three-year head coaching stints at Pepperdine (1997-99) and Saint Louis (2000-02) before returning to Washington. He inherits a young Husky team that finished with an 11-18 record in 2002, placed eighth with a 5-13 conference record and participated in the Pac-10 Tournament. Nine of the 13 players on the UW roster are freshmen (5) or sophomores (4). There is only one senior (Marlon Shelton) on the roster that also lists just three juniors (Curtis Allen, C.J. Massingale, Doug Wrenn). Shelton, Allen and Massingale are the only three team members who have played more than one season in a Husky uniform. Wrenn (19.5) and Allen (12.0) were the team's top two scorers in 2002.
Did You Know?
The Huskies hit 32 treys in their last three outings, their highest three-game 3-point output ever. They had consecutive double-digit 3-point performances (10 vs. Florida International on Dec. 21 & 13 vs. Houston on Dec. 23) for the first time in school history. The 13 treys against Houston were one shy of UW's single-game record.
Washington lost its last two Pac-10 openers, both against UCLA ... Freshman Nate Robinson led all UW scorers in three of the five games he played. He is expected to return from the Sun Bowl in time to play against UCLA ... Washington's assist-turnover ratio in its five victories is 92-85 while the corresponding mark in four losses is 41-69 ... The current six-game homestand is the longest since UW played six straight home games in Dec.-Jan. of 1995-96 ... Will Conroy has 135 points this season, 63 over his entire 2001-02 output of 72 ... The Huskies are shooting 48 percent (39-84) from 3-point range in their five wins, compared to 29 percent (15-51) in their four defeats ... Will Conroy recorded double figure points in seven games after not posting a double-figure scoring effort all last season ... UW has been outscored 180-125 at the free throw line and have tried 74 fewer free throws (269-195) than their foes ... The Huskies held three of their nine opponents under the 60-point plateau, a feat they accomplished only once all last season.
Will Power
Sophomore point guard Will Conroy has emerged as a major offensive threat for Washington after averaging just 2.5 points per game last season. He currently leads the team, averaging 15.0 points on 53 percent shooting, and has distributed a team-high 39 assists. Conroy tallied a career-high 19 points at UNLV (Nov. 30) and improved that figure with a 32-point effort at Gonzaga (Dec. 2) while shooting 13-of-17 from the field. Conroy's previous game-high total was nine points. He already has 135 points this season after totaling 72 points during the entire 2001-02 season. Conroy led all UW scorers in four games this season, a feat he did not accomplish at all last year.
The UCLA Series
> The Bruins lost to Washington in four of their last five visits to Seattle, including four straight setbacks between 1998-2001. UCLA halted that Seattle losing streak with an 85-79 win last year.
> Despite their recent troubles in the Northwest, the Bruins own a 29-24 advantage over the Huskies during games played in Seattle.
> UCLA swept the season series with the Huskies for the 28th time, winning 85-79 in Seattle and 74-62 in Los Angeles last year.
> The Bruins boast an 82-29 series lead after winning the last two, and 26 of the last 32 meetings against Washington.
> Washington assistant coach Cameron Dollar was a four-year letterman point guard at UCLA from 1994-97, helping the Bruins to three Pac-10 championships and the 1995 NCAA title. He played three seasons for Jim Harrick and one for Steve Lavin.
> Seventh-year UCLA coach Steve Lavin has an 8-4 record against the Huskies.
> In his first season as the Huskies' coach, Lorenzo Romar is coaching for the first time against UCLA. Romar served four seasons as an assistant on Jim Harrick's UCLA staff from 1993-96, including the 1995 NCAA Championship year. Romar worked alongside current Bruin head coach Steve Lavin on that staff.
The Last Meeting
#14 UCLA 74, UW 62 (Jan. 4, 2002; Los Angeles)
T.J. Cummings scored six of his 22 points in the decisive game-ending run as 14th-ranked UCLA defeated Washington 74-62 at Pauley Pavilion. The Bruins (10-2, 3-0) won their 16th straight game against UW at Pauley Pavilion and completed a sweep of the season series. Cummings sparked a 14-3 game-closing run over the final 6:17. Josh Barnard's 3-pointer with 6:36 remaining drew Washington (6-7, 0-3) within 60-59. The Bruins scored 10 straight points while holding UW scoreless for 5:46. The Huskies scored only one more time, a 3-pointer by Barnard with 50 seconds left to play. Barnard tallied a career-high 22 points with six 3-pointers. Curtis Allen had 15 points and eight assists for UW and Grant Leep added 12 points. Jason Kapono scored 13 points and Matt Barnes added 12, including the first nine points of the game for UCLA. Cummings led a 46-29 Bruin rebound advantage with 11 boards. The game started 20 minutes late due to a bent rim that needed to be replaced. UCLA center Dan Gadzuric, who tallied 23 points in the first meeting, scored two points in only six minutes due to foul trouble.
Day Ineligible
Sophomore Jeffrey Day has been ruled academically ineligible and will be out of action indefinitely, Washington coach Lorenzo Romar announced Dec. 27. The 6-foot-9 forward missed Saturday's game against Cal State Northridge. He will be unable to practice or play with the team until he is declared eligible. Day averaged 6.5 points and 5.0 rebounds during the Huskies' first eight games. He started six times. A product of Seattle Prep High School, Day averaged 2.8 points and 2.8 rebounds as a UW freshman in 2001-02.
Last Husky Game
UW 89, Cal State Northridge 80 (Dec. 28, 2002; Seattle)
Will Conroy amassed 26 points, nine assists and six rebounds, leading Washington to an 89-80 win over Cal State Northridge at Bank of America Arena. The Huskies completed the non-conference portion of their schedule with a 5-4 record. The Matadors (6-4) led 25-20 before UW drew even at 33 by halftime with a 13-8 run over the final seven minutes. The Huskies opened the second half with a 13-4 surge and extended the lead to as many as 18 points while holding Northridge without a basket for over six minutes. Curtis Allen tallied 12 of his 17 points in the second half for UW which shot 74 percent (17-23) after halftime. The Matadors scored the last eight points to narrow the final margin. Northridge shot 67 percent (14-21) in the first half, but only 40 percent (16-40) after halftime. UW's Doug Wrenn had a season-high 19 points and nine rebounds. John Clark scored nine of CSN's first 11 points and finished with 22 while Lionel Benjamin had 15 and Justice Graham 14. The Huskies were playing without Nate Robinson and Jeffrey Day. Robinson was in El Paso for the Sun Bowl and Day was ruled academically ineligible a day earlier and is out of action indefinitely.

Washington started three different lineups this season, including the group of Wrenn/Jensen/Washington/Conroy/Allen that is undefeated after opening the last three outings. Three Huskies have started every game: Doug Wrenn, Mike Jensen and Will Conroy.
Nate the Great
Freshman point guard Nate Robinson has had an immediate impact on the hardwood after an impressive campaign on the gridiron. He is expected to play Thursday against UCLA after competing Tuesday in the Sun Bowl against Purdue. Robinson led all UW scorers in three of his five games. His collegiate basketball debut was a six-minute stint against Wyoming on Dec. 5 in Seattle during which he had one rebound and one assist. The 5-8 leaper was spectacular in his second outing, amassing 19 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes at Santa Clara (Dec. 7). He followed that up with another 19-point performance, against Eastern Washington (Dec. 14) and had a team-high 14 against Florida International (Dec. 21). Robinson suited up, but did not play in the Nov. 24 season opener, one day after grabbing a critical interception for the Husky football team that upset No. 3 Washington State 29-26 in Pullman. Robinson was a prep All-American in both football and basketball. He started at cornerback in the last six Husky football games and recorded two interceptions. Robinson averaged 17.2 yards on six kick-off returns. His first practice with the basketball team was on Nov. 26. Robinson is attending UW on a football scholarship. He was the 2002 Washington Class AAA state basketball player of the year after averaging 17.9 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals for state champion Rainier Beach of Seattle. His father, Jacque Robinson, was a standout running back on the UW football team and ranks seventh among all-time Huskies with 2,300 career yards. Jacque is the only player to earn MVP honors in both the Rose (1982) and Orange (1985) Bowls.
Dynamic Doug
Doug Wrenn had one of the most impressive debut seasons in Washington history. The supremely athletic 6-6 junior forward was a 2002 all-conference selection and was the first UW recipient of the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year award. His team-leading 19.5-point scoring average included four 30-point games with a high of 35 points at Arizona (Feb. 7). He tallied 30 points on four occasions, including a streak of three straight 30-point performances that tied the school record held by Louie Nelson (1973) and Bob Houbregs (1953). His 546 points were the 10th-highest figure among UW single-season scorers. Wrenn was the No. 3 scorer in the Pac-10 last season and his 19.5-point average is the No. 2 figure among returning players behind only the 20.4 mark of Arizona's Jason Gardner. He also ranked 13th among Pac-10 rebounders (6.4 rpg). Wrenn registered a 19-point, nine-rebound performance against Bowling Green (Nov. 17) in his inaugural Husky game. He followed that with a 10-point, six-rebound effort against Butler (Nov. 18) and was named the Most Valuable Player of the Top of the World Classic. Wrenn hit the game-winning shot in a 75-74 win at New Mexico State (Dec. 8), a jumper in the lane with 0:06 left. Wrenn had three double doubles and ranked second on the team with 57 assists. A 1998 Parade All-American and Washington state prep Player of the Year, Wrenn red-shirted in 2001 after transferring from Connecticut.
Scoring Streak
Doug Wrenn's 19.5-point scoring average was the 11th-highest ever for a Husky and the best since Chris Welp averaged 20.8 points in 1986-87. Wrenn led all UW scorers in 11 straight games from Jan. 6-Feb. 14, averaging 26.0 points and accounting for 36 percent of UW's scoring during that span. Wrenn reached the 30-point plateau four times with 32 against Oregon (Jan. 24), 34 at Washington State (Jan. 31), 30 at Arizona State (Feb. 9) and a career-high 35 at Arizona (Feb. 7) that marked the highest scoring output by a Husky since Todd MacCulloch had 38 at James Madison on Dec. 7, 1996. Wrenn tallied 30 points in three consecutive games, becoming the third player in UW history to accomplish that feat. He topped all Husky scorers 21 times and posted 24 double-figure games, including 12 outings with 20 points.
Amazing Allen
Arguably the quickest player in the conference, junior Curtis Allen ranked sixth among Pac-10 point guards with 4.3 assists per game last season. His 126 assists were the seventh-highest total in Husky history. A three-year starter, Allen was voted to the Pac-10 All-Freshman team in 2001. He was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week on Dec. 3, 2001 after averaging 24.0 points and 6.0 assists in a pair of Husky wins. Allen posted career highs with 21 points and eight assists in UW's win over UNLV (Nov. 28). At San Diego (Dec. 1), Allen increased his single-game best to 27 points and added four assists in UW's 98-94 win. Allen was the Huskies' team leader in assists during 21 of 29 games. He distributed 15 assists against Arizona State (Jan. 10), the second-highest total in UW history. Allen, who reached his previous career-best of eight by halftime, fell one shy of the school single-game assist record of 16 established by Rafael Stone in 1970. Allen ranked second on the team in scoring (12.0 ppg) and was No. 2 among Pac-10 free throw shooters at 88.6 percent (101-114).
Romar Returns
Lorenzo Romar was named to head up the program at his alma mater on April 3, 2002. A point guard for the Huskies' 1978-79 and 1979-80 teams, he is the 18th head coach in Washington's 101-year history and the first African-American to lead the program. Romar has compiled a 98-92 record in seven seasons as a head coach, including a 5-4 mark at Washington. In three years at Saint Louis from 1999-2002, he compiled a 51-44 (.537) mark. At both Pepperdine and Saint Louis, Romar helped revive programs to a competitive level. He led the Waves to a three-year record of 42-44 (.488) from 1996-99, including a pair of second-place finishes in the West Coast Conference and an NIT invitation in 1999. During his first season at Saint Louis, the Billikens upset top-ranked Cincinnati in the second round of the Conference USA tournament and went on to win the championship and the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. Twice during the past two seasons Romar's Saint Louis teams defeated Washington. Seattle was the site of one of Romar's greatest coaching moments. As an assistant coach, he helped guide UCLA to an 89-78 triumph over Arkansas in the Kingdome to win the 1995 NCAA Championship. Cameron Dollar, now a UW assistant coach, was one of the stars for the Bruins during that national title contest. Romar built a reputation as one of the nation's top recruiters while an assistant at UCLA (1992-1996) and was credited with recruiting much of the talent that formed the core of the Bruins' title team. UCLA's record during Romar's four-year assistant coaching tenure was a stunning 97-28 (.776). A native of Compton, Calif., Romar graduated from Pius X High School. He earned his associate degree from Cerritos (Calif.) Community College in 1978 before studying at Washington from 1978-80. He completed his coursework at Cincinnati, receiving his bachelor's degree in criminal justice in 1992. After starting two seasons at UW for legendary coach Marv Harshman, Romar was selected in the seventh round of the 1980 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors. His five-year NBA career included stints with Golden State (1981-84), Milwaukee (1984) and Detroit (1984-85). Following the 1984-85 season, Romar joined Athletes in Action (AIA), a touring exhibition team on which he served as player-coach from 1989-1992. He replaces Bob Bender who resigned on Mar. 13, 2002. Romar is the second former UW player to return as the head coach, joining Lynn Nance who coached at UW from 1989-93.
Coaching Staff
Lorenzo Romar's staff is comprised of first-year assistant coaches Ken Bone, Cameron Dollar and Russ Schoene. Bone was the head coach at perennial NCAA Division II championship contender Seattle Pacific during the past 12 seasons. After a stellar playing career at UCLA (1994-97) that included the 1995 NCAA championship, Dollar served the last three years as an assistant coach on Romar's Saint Louis staff. Schoene was a standout collegian at Tennessee Chattanooga (1981-82) who played four seasons in the NBA, including three years (1987-89) with the Seattle Sonics.
2002 Recap
The Huskies (11-18, 5-13) finished the 2001-02 season with a flurry, winning three of their final four regular-season games to earn the eighth and final berth to the Pac-10 Tournament. The eighth-seeded Huskies led by seven points at halftime before succumbing to No. 1 seed Oregon by an 86-64 count. Washington's non-conference season was highlighted by a runner-up performance at the Top of the World Classic in November and a home victory over NIT-bound UNLV. The Pac-10 campaign featured home victories over the top two teams in the standings, Oregon and California.
The Huskies sustained some personnel losses from last season's squad, none bigger than 6-11 center David Dixon. He led the team with 6.4 rebounds per game, ranked third with an 8.4-point scoring average and tied the school's single-season record of 67 blocked shots. Another graduating starter was forward Grant Leep who led the Pac-10 in 3-point accuracy, converting a Husky record 53 percent of his treys. Leep was fourth on the team with 7.8 points per game and ranked third in rebounds with 4.1 per contest. Two underclassmen transferred during the off-season, including starting shooting guard Erroll Knight who was the team's fifth-leading scorer with 7.1 points per game. Knight transferred to Gonzaga while walk-on Sterling Brown is seeking another school in pursuit of a scholarship.
Returning Talent
Though short on experience, the returning players are long on talent. Among players that saw action last year, only junior guards Curtis Allen and C.J. Massingale have played more than one season at Washington. Two primary starters and five total lettermen return from last year's team, including all-conference and Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year Doug Wrenn. The junior forward led the team with 19.5 points per game, the second-highest figure among returning Pac-10 players. Allen distributed 126 assists in 2002, the seventh-highest single-season figure in school history. Along with Wrenn and Allen, three other lettermen each started at least two games. Massingale started 11 games and poured in 25 points against California. A trio of sophomores return in Will Conroy, Jeffrey Day and David Hudson. Conroy is a tenacious defender who started the final seven games last year at point guard. Day's 30 blocked shots were the second-highest total ever for a UW freshman. Hudson possesses tremendous range as his trio of 3-point baskets against USC can attest. Two other players return after being sidelined last season with injuries. Fifth-year senior center Marlon Shelton returns after a pair of knee surgeries. Red-shirt freshman forward Mike Jensen, one of the nation's most sought after recruits in 2001, played five games last season before undergoing surgery on his left shoulder that was dislocated during a December practice.
The Washington roster is bolstered by the addition of two scholarship freshmen, 6-6 forward Bobby Jones and 6-9 center/forward Anthony Washington. Both received national top-100 acclaim as prepsters. A graduate of Long Beach Poly (Calif.) High School, Jones signed in May as first-year Coach Lorenzo Romar's first UW recruit. Romar has labeled him as the Huskies' future defensive stopper. Jones averaged 19 points and 9 rebounds as a senior in 2002. Washington originally signed with UW in the fall of 2000 before returning to Seattle's Garfield High School to complete some coursework. He did not play last season. During the 2001 state championships, he shattered the tournament record with 21 blocked shots in four games, more than any previous team had accumulated. A third newcomer, freshman Nate Robinson, is on a football scholarship and will join the team full-time at the completion of the grid season. Robinson was the 2002 Washington Class AAA state player of the year after averaging 17.9 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals for state champion Rainier Beach of Seattle. His father, Jacque Robinson, was a standout running back on the UW football team and ranks seventh among all-time Huskies with 2,300 career yards. Jacque is the only player to earn MVP honors in both the Rose (1982) and Orange (1985) Bowls.
Non-Conference Conquests
Washington finished the non-conference portion of its schedule with a 5-4 record. That was the second straight winning non-conference campaign for the Huskies who were 6-3 last season. UW posted a 5-7 non-conference record in 1999-2000 and was 6-6 in 2000-01.
Home Sweet Home
The Huskies play all of their home games in recently renovated Bank of America Arena at Edmundson Pavilion. From March of 1999 to November of 2000, the Pavilion's interior was completely redesigned while the building's exterior went unchanged. Despite an increased seating capacity from 7,900 to approximately 10,000, the arena has a more intimate, basketball-only configuration. The Huskies have won 761 games in the Pavilion since it opened on Dec. 27, 1927, more victories than any other school in its current arena.
Tacoma Twosome
The Husky roster features two players from Tacoma, Washington; junior guards Curtis Allen (Wilson HS) and C.J. Massingale (Mount Tahoma HS). Having a pair of players from Tacoma is remarkable considering Washington went 21 years without a Tacoma native on the men's basketball roster. The last Tacoma native to play at UW was Steve Matzen (Lincoln HS) a 1977-80 letterman.
Romar on Radio
The Washington Basketball Coaches' Show with Lorenzo Romar will air weekly either on Monday or Tuesday nights from 7-7:30 p.m. on KJR (AM-950). The show is hosted by play-by-play announcer Bob Rondeau along with KJR Radio personality David Locke. The next broadcast is Monday, Jan. 6 at 7 p.m.

USC 94, UW 74 (Jan. 6, 2002; Los Angeles)
David Bluthenthal led five double-figure scorers with 18 points, leading USC to a 94-74 victory over Washington at The Forum. The Trojans (12-2, 4-0), who swept UW for the third straight season, recorded their record seventh straight win in the series. The Huskies (6-8, 0-4) suffered their sixth consecutive loss. USC used 21 steals to force 26 Husky turnovers and outscored UW 32-12 off the miscues. Washington held a slim 5-4 lead at two minutes into the game when the Trojans staged a 25-5 run over the next 6:36 to claim a commanding 29-10 advantage. The margin was 51-30 at halftime and grew to as many as 32 points in the second half. Sam Clancy scored 11 straight USC points in the second half and finished with 17 for the game, matching the totals for Brandon Granville and Errick Craven. Granville also contributed 10 assists and six steals. Desmon Farmer had 15 points for the Trojans. Doug Wrenn tallied 23 of his 29 points in the second half for the Huskies who also got 11 points from David Dixon and 10 from Curtis Allen.
Simmons Signs
Washington received a letter of intent on Nov. 19, 2002 from junior college wing player Tre Simmons who prepped at Seattle's Garfield High School. 'Tre is a very versatile guard. He is long, he can defend, he can really score the ball and pass the ball,' says Husky head coach Lorenzo Romar. Simmons is currently a sophomore at Green River (Wash.) CC who will join the Huskies in the fall of 2003. Washington has three scholarships to offer during the late signing period (April 15-May 16).

Product Reviews
The Perfect Skirt, 7.8.2019
This skirt is all kinds of amazing I don't even know where to start! The fabric is super soft, yet very lightweight and comfortable. Its stretches and moves with you while you dance, and absolutely does not poke or dig in at all. The metallic gold on this shimmers just right under stage lights, as well as sunshine. I plan on wearing this one a lot, for dance, for dinner, and just for me! I can't rave enough, every color combination is gorgeous.Reviewer: Jenna Caymaz (Bartlett, IL)
Expectations exceeded!, 9.5.2018
After ordering this beautiful skirt in rouge (which is warm and firey) and falling in love with it the second I saw/touched it in person, I had to come back for it in spruce. The fabric is super soft and flowy, and the pieces are cut to show the print beautifully everywhere on the skirt. The foil print is a bright sparkling silver, and the fabric is a deep teal-blue that looks incredible in person and has a nice cool and icy look to it. I am so glad I got this in two colours, and I am contemplating going back for one in black!Reviewer: Melissa Williams (Huntsville, AL)
A Shimmering Surprise, 8.31.2018
The silver print shines just like you think it should, and it seems to be surprisingly strong. I was afraid that the foil might crack in places where the skirt stretches over my curves, but it's held up nicely! I think the biggest surprise of this skirt is how LIGHT the material is. It's super-soft, breathable, flowy and so comfortable. I always get compliments when I wear it, and I always let people touch the fabric to feel how amazing it is for themselves.Reviewer: Robyn Holleran (Cincinnati, OH)
gorgeous in person, 8.24.2018
My troupe-mate just bought this and let me try it on! It looks so much richer and lush in person!Reviewer: Helena Sviglin (Crofton, MD)
Stunning colour, flattering cut., 8.20.2018
This skirt is fantastic. I was hesitant to order it because I am not much of a pink wearer and was worried it was going to be super pink in person. I am so glad I took the chance and treated myself to this piece of magic. The colour is close to a deep warm burgundy red that makes me yearn for autumn. The foil assuit print looks like just the right shade rose gold, more bright copper than metallic pink. The cut and the way the pattern is oriented on the skirt pieces are incredibly flattering and make ones butt look unspeakably beautiful. This outfit feels like if you could wear the most perfect of roses. I am in love.Reviewer: Melissa Williams (Huntsville, AL)

It doesn't take much to travel if you're willing to sacrifice belongings and comfort for experiences.
It doesn't take much to travel if you're willing to sacrifice belongings and comfort for experiences.
There is no doubt that we travelers have a deeper experience of the place we are traveling when we are fluent in the local language. Without this fluency, much of what we experience in a foreign land is mysterious or misinterpreted. Thus, unless we learn the local language, we will continue comprehending only a small margin of what we could be, and our interpretations are bound to be distorted.
There's nothing like the power of nature to make us acutely aware of our mortality, or produce what's knows as feelings of "the sublime." David Joshua Jennings guides us through seven natural phenomena where one can feel the rush of the sublime at its most potent.

It all begins with a single drop.
Followed by another ... and another.
Soon all these drops team up and
become stream.
These streams ban together and
soon you have a flowing river.
Fast paced. Strong and churning.
It's movement feels fresh and wild. Unstoppable.
Reaching the edge of a cliff, without hesitation, these single drops leap. Knowing what they accomplished ready for more.
Want to get organized?
Don't have the money, time, motivation?
It all begins with the smallest action like tossing your pens jammed into the cup on your desk (most don't even work well).
Now place 3-4 new pens into the cup. No more fumbling and it looks better.
Perhaps you now can tackle the stack of papers on the right corner of your desk. File what needs to be and toss what you should have months ago. Ready for a break?
If no, keep moving to the next area on your desk, then to the drawers. One by one, your desk is getting organized. Stop? Heck no!
You look at the shelves in your office and wonder,
"why do I have all this stuff?" and begin to pull books, binders, papers and files off each one. You're on a roll!
Hot Damn! Your office is looking pretty darn good. No, it's fabulous!
It just F E E L S so much better and clearer.
Imagine how great your home will feel if you went through each area like this. Choosing one small action to create a waterfall of progress.
Getting organized is not a magical process.
Small accomplishments banned together to create a positive impact in your life.
Look around your home.
Pick your task and GO.
Having trouble where to begin?
Try this technique.
Remember, it takes only one drop
to begin creating a waterfall.
You can do this. I believe in you.
How did your waterfall grow today?

Imaging riometer and HF radar measurements of driftingFregion electron density structures in the polar cap
Rosenberg, T.J.; Wang, Z.; Rodger, A.S.; Dudeney, J.R.; Baker, K.B.. 1993 Imaging riometer and HF radar measurements of driftingFregion electron density structures in the polar cap. Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 98 (A5). 7757-7764. https://doi.org/10.1029/92JA02550Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
A study of riometer, photometer, and ionosonde data from South Pole Station has revealed a class of unusual dayside absorption events which occur near local magnetic noon when South Pole is located poleward of the dayside cusp. These events, which can reach values in excess of 1 dB in narrow-beam 38.2-MHz riometer measurements, are accompanied by significant enhancement of the O(¹D2) 630.0-nm emission. However, because there is no corresponding change in the N2+ 427.8-nm emission, it is unlikely that these events are caused by the conventional D or lower E region ionization increases usually attributed to the precipitation of auroral electrons of keV energy. Rather, the comparison of South Pole imaging riometer and ionosonde data with simultaneous Halley PACE HF radar data suggests that these unusual absorption events are related to F region electron density structures drifting from the dayside oval into the polar cap. If further work sustains this interpretation, then new prospects will be opened up for using imaging riometers to examine aspects of polar cap convection.

Summer Movie Predictions
Walle (totally cool)
Hellboy (way cool)
Narnia (Narnia will never be "cool", but there will be a story there)
Incredible Hulk (sort of cool)
Indiana Jones (not cool)
Speed Racer (daring, but never hits it's stride)
Kung Fu Panda (well, I like the character design... er, hmmm...nope, that's all I got)
Get Smart (the first trailer looked decent, and it's gone downhill from there)
The Spirit (oh god, don't give FM any more money!)
Journey to the Center of the Earth (complete drivel)
I guess I should elaborate on the Indiana Jones ranking... in my view, Raiders was the only good IJ movie, the other 2 are pretty awful. Also, I don't like that Transformers kid that's in it.... not. at. all. On the other hand, Karen Allen is in this one... most likely the main reason that the first one is so much better.

I'm in agreement on Indy4. He was too old on the third one. That was 20 years ago. The combo of Sean Connery being too old and Ford being too old was bad. And this new one you can tell there is way too much half assed green screen going on. The first one was almost all practical effects until they opened the ark at the end,. And even there they used real heads melting and exploding.
Speed Racer I've heard is a B- if you're being generous because the story is so weak.
WallE, I've practically seen it so i can tell you it's the usual Pixar bounty.
Hellboy I have high hopes for.
The Spirit doesn't look like it's going anywhere I want to go.
Haven't seen a hint of Journey to the Center of the Earth. If they don't have a duck named Gertrude, it's bad.
Might give Get Smart a chance.
Kung Fu Panda I'll probably check out. The animation has impressed me .
And I haven't seen the first Narnia. So the second can also wait. LOTR used up my fantasy/chain mail appetite.
Hulk looks like taking itself too seriously might be deadly to it. And I already said the fx look gamey. That link Tom gave us looked better.
- Tom Moon said...
No No No! Indy4 will be cool because it will play along with the idea that he's too old to be doing that sort of thing! And because Karen Allen will be in it.
I hadn't heard about the Spirit movie, but I too am wary of it because of Miller. Still haven't see 300.
I liked the first Narnia. I have high hopes the next one will be even better. I think Narnia IS cool.
Wall-E? Already way too cute-sey for me judging by the trailers: the big eyes, the voice, the slapstick antics, but Pixar always deserves the benefit of the doubt.
I say new Hulk BE SMASH HIT!
No interest in Speed Racer; not surprised it's mediocre.
Everything else I'm not sure about.
- Mr Goodson said...
Reviews on INDY on Aint it Cool are saying it's the third best and making the point that makes a very good movie. I'll see it. So...
I'm assuming this is a spoiler.....
Karen Allen?....
Mom of Labouf? with ...?
- Tom Carroll said...
I think I really only have time / $$$ for Indy4, Wall-E, and Hellboy (not a date film, so I'll be flyin' solo...), and probably. I don't think I'm the target demographic for Speed Racer (I'd rather buy DVDs of the original) and I agree with what everyone says about The Spirit (the trailer didn't take me anywhere I wanted to go and it didn't seem Eisner-esque to any degree (except for the hat, I suppose)). Kung Fu Panda would make a good short, but expanding it to feature length seems a little gamey. I also agree that the more I see of Get Smart, the worse it gets. I've read the Narnia books and don't buy into the Hollywood-ization of C.S. Lewis' text ... LotR with a Lion.
- Tom Carroll said...
Oh, BTW ... I took all members of the family to Iron Man yesterday and MY WIFE LOVED IT (a big surprise; she didn't grow up with comics, but the story and R.D. Jr. did the trick. I heard her laugh out loud at numerous lines (and gags), especially when Pepper says cattily that she even takes out the trash ... woot!!
- Davis Chino said...
I love this film thread.
I saw (most of) Speed Racer Saturday at Grauman's Chinese while waiting for Hollywood Bowl tixs (see BRUSH PEN BREAKFAST for the whole story); it's horrible. I was (and remain) a BIG FAN of the cartoon. Re: the movie: do we really need 30 minutes detailing how BIG the big corporation is? Am I the only one disgusted by the hypocrisy of a mega-money Hollywood film-ization of a kid's cartoon preaching to me about the evils of the corporate world? And visually unendurable for anyone not on Ritalin.
Surly Bird, my hat is off to you--you've nailed the whole Hellboy movie problem, (I wrote a scathing review making the same point at my old movie review website EVENINGS IN/EVENINGS OUT). Depending on your p.o.v., Hellboy's new antagonist is either Elric of Melnibone or Draco Malfoy's dad from Harry Potter. The simple charm Mignola can generate in a drawing is completely absent in the high dollar CGI being applied to his characters/stories. He needs a cinematographer like Lee Garmes, or failing that, somebody who'd worked with Val Lewton.
Lewton producing Hellboy would have been the perfect marriage....This character needs LESS money thrown at it, not more--replace the money with more brains.
I don't know what you guys see in Kung Fu Panda. I think the animation looks like that same-ol' swish-into-a-pose, do-a-facial-take, give-us-a-fart-noise that was compelling on a low-budget 2D TV show in 1992, but is now morally bankrupt. I blame CalArts...
Journey to the Center of the Earth looks like Journey Straight to DVD.
GET SMART: the "reinterpretation" of the (justly famous) hallway-of-closing-security-doors, now in CG, with the busy-ness and the obvious stainless steel texture maps--who could have seen that coming?? Wow, that proves to me that this is a completely legit endeavor--I mean, it's not like they're just parasites on someone else's franchise...
...and don't you watch the trailer just waiting for Steve Carell to imitate Don Adam's voice? And aren't you left completely flat when he doesn't? (I'm not even saying he should--it's just makes me realize the success of the original "Get Smart" can be boiled down to Don Adam's voice).
The best thing about it seems to be The Rock. That says it all.
Sorry, I'm ranting.
Again, fun to read everyone's thoughts. I wish we could get this worked up about our drawings!
- Krayonzilla said...
Sorry guys. SPEED RACER KICKED ASS. I saw it.
- Krayonzilla said...
Walle (Indifferent either way. short circut by pixar)
Hellboy (looks cool, this one needs to be more epic)
Narnia (2nd part, its ok.)
Incredible Hulk (CAN'T WAIT)
Indiana Jones (FUN AT THE MOVIES)
Speed Racer (VISUALLY BLEW MY MIND)
Kung Fu Panda (jACK bLACK NEEDS TO BE RUN OUTTA hOLLYWEIRD)
Get Smart (looks like shit, smells like shit..its shit.)
The Spirit (WHERES THE COLOR!!!!)
Journey to the Center of the Earth (TRASH...trailer proves that)
- Mr Goodson said...
Brevity Kraoyonzilla! We aren't here to listen to you contemplate your navel! Yeesh!

Indy4. I agree whole heartedly with the above sentiments about Lucas / Spielberg. Lucas is a carnival barker shouting about great entertainment and innovation right before he trots out the same old high wire act or bearded lady. By the look of the trailer, it looks like they've established a check list of big ticket items for the movie including numerous retreads of themes and content that are much better left in our collective memories and cinematic history. I also recently went back and watched the first three movies and the first film still holds up remarkably well although the monkey sequences are dark harbingers of what was to come in the future of Lucas' career. As far as Spielberg, Munich is about the only thing I've liked recently that he's put his stamp on.
I also agree with the Hellboy comments. As much as I loved the first one, this new film does look like some shotgun wedding between Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth. I'll still go see it though. I'm still holding out for something that matches Mignola's style as much as Screw-On Head did. Did you guys see those terrible Americanime style Hellboy movies that were out last year? Ugh.
Speed Racer. This is either a kiddie movie or a stoner movie, so I'll probably wait for DVD.
Batman. Hulk. No real opinion either way.
WallE. Kind of reminds me of the Vectorman 1 story! I will definitely go see it just to help it generate box office and put an end to anthropomorphic CG animal movies!
I think the Spirit trailer is too shapeless to give any impression of what the film will be like. I've been reading Eisner's Comics and Sequential Art recently and I sure hope that the producers of the movie have been reading it too!
Anybody interested in Redbelt? David Mamet + jujitsu?!
- Mr Goodson said...
Redbelt probably has great dialogue and since it's been made because Mamet dabbles at Jujitsu I bet it's good. Featuring a lot of real Jujitsu champs. I really wonder if mamet convincingly gets beyond contrivance to give the film the big conflict. For something like a martial art film, I think you should stick to a person to person rivalry like Ridley Scott's old Harvey Kietel film about dueling. I have to look it up.... "The Duelists". Follow a couple of Jujitsu guys having decade stretching long no holds bar matches.
- Jeff said...
sheesh. I haven't even seen Iron Man yet. My summer has gotten off to a BAD start.

Blue-5: ECHO
The blue story
Chapter 3: part 1: ECHO
by Daria Lanz
So far our blue story reads as follows: Rain – Puddles – Reflection –
Where to next?
As I stood looking into the mirror, pondering what my next word would be, I realised that an echo is an audio reflection; A reflection is a visual echo. Light is carried over a distance until it bounces off an object and reflects back at you. Sound is carried over a distance until it bounces off an object and echoes back to you.
And so the story shall go: Rain – Puddles – Reflection – Echo.
One sunny weekend afternoon I wandered down to Greenwich—just a skip and a hop from my flat. I ventured to the underground tunnel that runs under the river Thames. I was in search of a good location for an echo, and I'd found it. I spent a good few hours recording passers by, children singing, cyclists walking through, tourists, and my own footsteps echoing through the tunnel. It was a busy day so there was no shortage of sounds available.
I also wrote a poem earlier that morning, while in the shower. ('Cause we all know the best things often come in the shower.) I recorded this as well (not in the shower) and included it in the soundbite to send to Elise.
The poem reads:
I am here
I am with you
Do not fear
You cannot see me
And sometimes
You cannot hear me
I am here
As the blazing sun
Burns in your wake
And the glowing moon
Around the Earth, rotates
I am here
With you
For you
I am always here
I'll leave that with you to decide your own meaning…
I love this project because it takes me to new territory. The concept of sending Elise a soundbite of echoes is unique and challenging. Not to mention it needed to be incomplete and something Elise could build upon.
I bought a little mp3 player to host the audio file, and then cut out a sill for it to sit on in some foam core. This could allow for something visual to be added to the mp3's frame. Or maybe Elise will add to the mp3 sounds…?
WHO KNOWS! That's what's so awesome about this project.
The video above is footage I took while recording the echoes in the tunnel. Elise did not receive the video, only the audio file.

Menghai Tea Factory was founded in 1940 and is located in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The factory was originally called Fo Hai Tea Factory, but changed its name to Menghai Tea Factory in 1953 with the establishment of the Xishuangbanna autonomous prefecture.
Menghai Tea Factory is credited as being one of the first two factories to make "cooked" pu'er tea in 1973 . As the tea factory industry in China privatized in the late 1980s through the 1990s, Menghai Tea Factory adopted its "Dayi" logo and went fully private in 1996. Currently, Menghai Tea Factory is owned by The Bowin Company, who purchased Menghai Tea Industry Co. Ltd and Menghai Tea Factory in October 2004.

Angling supports for Barcelona fishing
The fly fishing rod or perhaps called angling pole is really a lengthy, versatile period of cup fiber amalgamated, Co2 fiber amalgamated or even, typically, bamboo bedding, accustomed to capture seafood, quite useful when fishing in Barcelona coastine.
In comparison along with subsistence as well as industrial angling, which often includes netting, angling supports are usually utilized in the actual sports activities associated with doing some fishing as well as aggressive throwing. This has to do with fishing both in Barcelona and Majorca, since fishing is an extensive practice in such cities.
From it's easiest, the fly fishing rod is really a easy stay or even post having a collection closing inside a connect (formerly referred to as a good position, therefore the word angling). In order to ensure seafood fishing in Barcelona fishing lures should be considered to improve the fishing. To assist within actively playing the seafood much more collection, stowed on the fishing reel, is actually typical.
Fishing supports differ within versatility as well as duration, different in between twenty-four in, as well as 20 ft. When acquiring the angling rod for fishing in Barcelona, we should remember this premise: the lengthier the actual fishing rod is, the higher the actual mechanised benefit within throwing.
Besides, there are different models of fishing rods and each one has different features, more or less suitable for fishing depending on the area. Let's see how carbon fiber and ice rods can be recommendable for fishing in Barcelona.
a) Carbon fiber supports
The carbon fiber fishing rod isn't any much better than the glass fiber fishing rod. Nevertheless, because of somewhat various qualities of those fibers, you need to help to make the best choice for fishing in Barcelona. Nevertheless, cup fiber had been utilized in supports prior to carbon fiber, that produced an over-all impact cup fiber is really a point in the previous. Presently it isn't really simple to find an excellent cup fiber fishing rod due to this. Carbon fiber is actually much less versatile (stiffer) compared to glass fiber and much more brittle as well as vulnerable to damage whenever abused. Carbon fiber enables to create lengthier as well as quicker supports when compared with cup fiber.
b) Glaciers rods
Contemporary glaciers supports are usually really brief re-writing supports, different in between twenty-four as well as thirty six in. long. Traditional glaciers supports – nevertheless popular for fishing in Barcelona – are merely rigid with bits of wooden rod, generally having a created wood manage, a few collection instructions, as well as 2 opposition barbs installed in front of the manage in order to hand-wind the actual collection close to. Glaciers supports are utilized in order to seafood via openings within the include glaciers associated with freezing ponds as well as fish ponds.

Toyohara Chikanobu (1838 - 1912) Edo Embroidery Pictures Day and Night: Kintaro, 1886. Oban.
Chikanobu is a fine and under-rated artist who studied under Toyohara Kunichika. Although he produced some very ordinary theatre prints, his real work is of an exceptional standard and he is now being recognised as a substantial Meiji artist. His reputation has been assisted by the publication of Chikanobu: Modernity and Nostalgia in Japanese Prints by Bruce A. Coats in 2006.
This print from 1886 is very lovely indeed and takes as its subject the boyhood of Kintaro. In legend, Kintaro was raised in the wild, some say by his mother, others by an old hag. He was exceptionally strong and willful and became friends with the creatures of the mountains. He is a popular legend in Japanese folklore even today and is traditionally shown with monkeys, with whom he was able to communicate; and with a chopper, with which he performed great feats of strength. As an adult he became a famous and fierce samurai and retainer of Minamoto no Yorimitsu and the boyhood legend has over time become conflated with the real warrior and historical figure Sakata no Kintoki.
Here the boy Kintaro is shown with his mother and his childhood monkey companions. In the upper portion, the seated figure is his future master Minamoto no Yorimitsu. Behind him, silhouetted against a screen, is the menacing shadow of the earth spider and its web and the evil succubus at his knee, a legend explained in our entry on Kunichika's print of the same subject. In this print we admire the great delicacy that Chikanobu has brought to the drawing of the monkeys and the landscape. A handsome portrait of Fuji completes the backdrop. There is a compelling gentleness in the gesture that Kintaro makes to the foreground animal.
Untrimmed, fine colours and impression and in excellent condition. A fine print.
