Back in June when the White House held its inaugural United State of Women Summit day-long summit, one of the biggest highlights was President Obama's speech where he boldly declared: "this is what a feminist looks like". It was the phrase that was shared far and wide in the media and on the internet, but if you've been paying close attention to POTUS since he took office in January 2009, you'll know that he has been declaring his feminism from day one.
His very first act as Commander in Chief was to sign the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law. He has declared war on the wage gap, signed the Girls Count Act into law in 2015 which designates more aid to helping girls in the developing world get an education, traveled to countries such as India, Vietnam and Kenya and given powerful speeches about the need for equal rights and empowering women, chatted with Misty Copeland about the power of girls having role models, and even spoken up about violence against women, saying "real men do not hurt women".
We could also go on and on about his intersectional feminism in the areas of immigration, prison reform and LGBTQ rights, but we think you get the idea. This man walks the talk and our country is better off for it. In a recent essay for Glamour Magazine (yeah he's cool like that, isn't afraid to put pen to paper for a popular women's publication), he shared some personal reasons why feminism isn't just an awesome idea, but a lived reality for him because he has two daughters.
He says he is optimistic for their futures because it is an extraordinary time to be a woman.
"The progress we've made in the past 100 years, 50 years, and, yes, even the past eight years has made life significantly better for my daughters than it was for my grandmothers. And I say that not just as President but also as a feminist. In my lifetime we've gone from a job market that basically confined women to a handful of often poorly paid positions to a moment when women not only make up roughly half the workforce but are leading in every sector, from sports to space, from Hollywood to the Supreme Court," he writes.
"I've witnessed how women have won the freedom to make your own choices about how you'll live your lives—about your bodies, your educations, your careers, your finances. Gone are the days when you needed a husband to get a credit card. In fact, more women than ever, married or single, are financially independent."
As he vowed to continue using the remainder of his time in office to promoting policies that make the country more equal for everyone, because he knows there is still a long way to go despite our progress, no.44 makes an important point that legislation can only go so far. There has to be an attitude change in order for gender equality to fully be realized everywhere.
"As far as we've come, all too often we are still boxed in by stereotypes about how men and women should behave. One of my heroines is Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, who was the first African American to run for a major party's presidential nomination. She once said, 'The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, 'It's a girl.' We know that these stereotypes affect how girls see themselves starting at a very young age, making them feel that if they don't look or act a certain way, they are somehow less worthy. In fact, gender stereotypes affect all of us, regardless of our gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation," he explained.
He points to the women in his own life who have opened his eyes to the burdens that are placed on women everyday. His mother spent time in developing countries empowering women, his grandmother worked her way up in a bank until she hit a glass ceiling, and his own wife Michelle shouldering the bulk of the responsibility of raising his daughters and looking after the home while he balanced his political career beginning in the Illinois state legislature and a teaching job as a law professor.
It wasn't until he had two daughters that the inequality became even more visceral.
"So I'd like to think that I've been pretty aware of the unique challenges women face—it's what has shaped my own feminism. But I also have to admit that when you're the father of two daughters, you become even more aware of how gender stereotypes pervade our society. You see the subtle and not-so-subtle social cues transmitted through culture. You feel the enormous pressure girls are under to look and behave and even think a certain way," he said.
One sure sign of a woke feminist, especially male, is the acknowledgment of the narrow ideals of masculinity which can keep men feeling like they too need to conform, and usually to a standard that subjugates women in a number of ways to prove strength or superiority.
"It's easy to absorb all kinds of messages from society about masculinity and come to believe that there's a right way and a wrong way to be a man. But as I got older, I realized that my ideas about being a tough guy or cool guy just weren't me. They were a manifestation of my youth and insecurity. Life became a lot easier when I simply started being myself," he recalls.
"So we need to break through these limitations. We need to keep changing the attitude that raises our girls to be demure and our boys to be assertive, that criticizes our daughters for speaking out and our sons for shedding a tear. We need to keep changing the attitude that punishes women for their sexuality and rewards men for theirs."
Growing up without a dad forced him to really think about and form his own identity as a man, and how he sees the value in allowing all children to be able to do the same today away from harmful norms and outdated stereotypes. Like both he and Vice President Joe Biden have made a point of focusing on over the past 8 years, there needs to be greater education and knowledge about how masculine ideals can often play a major role in contributing to rape culture, sexual assault and continued cycles of domestic violence.
"We need to keep changing the attitude that permits the routine harassment of women, whether they're walking down the street or daring to go online. We need to keep changing the attitude that teaches men to feel threatened by the presence and success of women. We need to keep changing the attitude that congratulates men for changing a diaper, stigmatizes full-time dads, and penalizes working mothers. We need to keep changing the attitude that values being confident, competitive, and ambitious in the workplace—unless you're a woman. Then you're being too bossy, and suddenly the very qualities you thought were necessary for success end up holding you back," he said.
For President Obama, changing the narratives around women of color in modern culture are also important to him, as he has witnessed incessant racism directed at his wife Michelle, despite her incredible grace, dignity and poise in everything she does. In her recent speech at the DNC, FLOTUS gave a powerful statement of what it means as a black woman, living in a house that was built by slaves and who a large section of the African American population never thought would witness a black family living in, to see her daughters freely playing on the White House lawn because of the strides that have been made.
As a feminist, President Obama recognizes the multitude of intersections that need to be addressed in the fight to eliminate inequality, and he implores other men and boys to stand up and know that this is also their battle. At he end of his essay, he pointed to the historic nomination of Hillary Clinton, who is the first woman nominated by a major political party to run for President of the United States in a general election.
She broke a 200+ year barrier which is going to allow a whole generation of young women to know what is possible at the highest level for them.
"Two hundred and forty years after our nation's founding, and almost a century after women finally won the right to vote, for the first time ever, a woman is a major political party's presidential nominee. No matter your political views, this is a historic moment for America. And it's just one more example of how far women have come on the long journey toward equality…That's what twenty-first century feminism is about: the idea that when everybody is equal, we are all more free," he concluded.
Like he has said before, prosperity is not "just about the Benjamins; it's about the Tubmans too". We are certainly going to miss President Obama, but we are incredibly grateful to have seen a national leader commit to ensuring people who grow up in this country are afforded equal opportunities and treated equally.

How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 325°. Heat the oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Season the turkey drumsticks with salt and pepper and brown them on all sides over moderately high heat, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the leeks, chopped carrot and celery to the casserole and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the stock, cranberries and thyme and bring to a simmer. Add the turkey drumsticks and their juices. Cover and braise in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the turkey drumsticks and add the turnips and sliced carrots. Cover and braise for about 1 hour longer, or until the turkey and vegetables are very tender.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the turkey, sliced carrots and turnips to a large plate. Strain the sauce through a coarse sieve set over a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Return the sauce to the casserole and boil until reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes.
Remove the turkey meat from the bones. Return the turkey and vegetables to the casserole, cover and cook over low heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper and serve with Honey-Mustard Cranberry Sauce.

Deeper skin tones can wear these as well as royal blue. Try these colors on dresses, shirts, and accessories. Add peep toe booties and heels like the ladies above.

Come and visit the Terra Mítica amusement park! More than fifteen attractions await you at the park. Plenty to ensure you have lots of family fun. But the park doesn't only offer attractions: around ten different shows covering various periods of history take place every day. Plenty of restaurants and bars ensure you can take a break from it all. And if you want some souvenirs of your day, visit one of the shops.
This church was built in the eighteenth century, more precisely, according to legend, just after the discovery of the statue of the Virgin of Suffrage (the patroness of the city) in a boat that was floating off course.
In a Neo-classical style, it has a white façade, ochre mouldings and cornices, and a blue dome, which is typical of Mediterranean domes.
Once inside, visitors can admire a large pipe organ that was inaugurated in 2012, on the day the patron saint is celebrated.
This characteristic Spanish market awaits you. It's large size ensures you'll find just about everything you could want. It's well-known for its bargains and is extremely popular. On Sunday, locals and tourists come to buy clothes, food, flowers or typical regional products. And when you need a break, head for one of the bars in the market and watch the world go by.
At the top of Cerro Canfali in Benidorm, the Balcony of the Mediterranean, a splendid belvedere, provides a superb panorama over the sea. During the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the fortress served as a defence against incursions from Algerian and Berber pirates. It stands atop the great rock that separates the two main beaches, Levante and Poniente.
Your visit to Benidorm will immerse you in Spanish culture. Explore the old town. You will discover its many picturesque cobbled streets. You can also admire the church in the form of a blue dome and the white houses that surround it. During your walk, enjoy the shops or bars of the old town. Every year, Benidorm organises almost 50 local festivals so try to discover the city during one of these.

Intro There is a beautiful gourmet shop around the corner from my house where little cakes as well as breads, cheeses, and other enticing items are displayed under an array of antique glass domes. As soon as I saw those domes, I began to covet them. Last Mother's Day, my husband and children presented me with a beauty, and since then, it's been my mission to keep a simple but delicious cake on top of my counter at all times, displayed under this spectacular dome. My kitchen has never looked prettier or more inviting, and the family sweet tooth has never been more satisfied. I've also noticed a marked increase in the number of friends 'just happening to be passing by,' none of whom turn down a piece of the day's cake.
I used to keep a cookie jar stocked for these purposes, but the idea of always having a cake on display in my pretty cake keeper inspired me to change my routine. It also inspired this book, a collection of old-fashioned recipes, many with a modern twist, for cakes you can bake quickly and easily. As I worked my way through recipes for Citrus and Black Pepper Pound Cake, Neoclassic Gingerbread, and Dulce de Leche Coffee Cake, I realized that it was often quicker and easier to bake a cake than to bake a batch of cookies. These unfrosted, unfilled cakes had short ingredient lists and could often be mixed in just one bowl. Unlike cookies, which are baked in many carefully watched batches, a simple cake requires little attention once it is popped into the oven. I thought back to the good old days, before cake was relegated to special occasions, when recipes for plain cake were in every home baker's repertoire. Offering updated versions of old favorites (Peach-Buttermilk Upside-Down Cake, Blueberry Buckle) and innovative recipes developed to excite today's sophisticated but busy bakers (Apricot and Olive Oil Cake, Pistachio-Polenta Pound Cake), a collection of this kind would restore cake to its rightful place as too simple and delicious to reserve for birthdays and anniversaries.
After baking and eating cake every day for almost a year, I'm excited to share the results in Cake Keeper Cakes, a collection of 100 recipes for unadorned cakes, moist and luscious, but simple to make and keep on hand for everyday eating. I've tried hard to develop recipes in line with the way people cook today. Like many home cooks, I like to make everyday dinners interesting by including foods and flavors from around the world. I've included cakes I made to end a meal of pasta (Espresso-Hazelnut Bundt Cake), to match Thai chicken with basil (Pineapple and Toasted Coconut Cake), and to follow Moroccan lamb kebabs (Honey and Walnut Cake). Although the recipes in this book were designed to be simple enough to bake in the space between homework and dinnertime, many are interesting enough to present with a flourish at the end of a dinner party. Throughout, I offer suggestions for transforming plain cakes into impressive desserts. There is a quick recipe for blueberries in basil syrup that is wonderful with Sour Cream and Lemon Cake. Slices of homey Apple and Cheddar Cheese Cake can be garnished with dollops of maple-flavored whipped cream. Slices of Anise Pound Cake can be served with a dried fruit and brandy compote and small scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Every now and then I get a bright idea and decide to give it a go. This time it was Kombucha. Kombucha is basically a fermented fizzy drink that you brew using a SCOBY, that is drunk to improve digestive and gut health.
I want to make Kombucha but I decided I wanted to grow a SCOBY from scratch, so a bit of googling and I found a tutorial by Cotter Crunch and another by FermUp that explains how to do just that.
What you need:
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons sugar ( I used brown)
- 1 bag black tea (any will do, as you can see I went for cheap) or 1 tbsp loose-leaf black tea.
- 1 bottle of store bought Kombucha (preferably organic)
- a glass container (not pictured)
What I did differs a little from what is described by Cotter Crunch and FermUp but is essentially the same.
What you do:
- Brew the kettle and add your T Bag and sugar to your mug.
- Pour boiling water into your mug and stir in your sugar until it dissolves.
- Allow it to sit for a few minutes then remove your T bag. Then let the tea cool to room temperature.
- While it's cooling get your glass jar and ensure it is thoroughly cleaned. Then sterilized it (ESSENTIAL) by pouring in hot water, letting it sit for a moment and pouring the water back out. This will both rinse any cleaning products out and kill any further bacteria.
- Once your tea is cool, add it to your sterilized glass container allowing room to add your Kombucha. You will need about half Kombucha, half tea
- Add your Kombucha ensuring any stringy sediment makes it into your glass container. Depending on the size you may not need the whole bottle. Feel free to drink the rest.
- Put a cloth over your jar to allow it to breath but keep the nasties out and place it in a dark spot.
- And now you wait. Try to resist peeking or moving the jar as this will disturb the SCOBY.
Some tutorials say it will take a week to start seeing some growth but I found it was more like two weeks before I noticed anything happening. The photo below was after about a week and a half.
As you can see there isn't a lot of action a week or so later I started noticing some lumps forming and these gradually got thicker and bigger, as below.
I'm still waiting for the SCOBY to get thick and big enough to use so there will more more psot in the future. For now, I'm off to go google some recipes. 🙂
Here's an update from today. Definitely developing nicely.
Today is feeding day!
About 4 weeks after starting the project I remembered that I have to feed the SCOBY in order to keep it growing. Oops! It had kept growing but probably not as nicely. So, today I decided to feed it. Ideally, this is done when you're SCOBY is abut 2mm thick…
This is mine today.
To feed it, you basically prepare the tea solution as you did before and let it cool.
Once cool you add the tea, to top up the sugars.
There is a lot of information and misinformation about Kombucha, but I found a great link that goes through several of them by Phoenix Helix that is well worth a read.

One Random Scientist is an anonymous blog by a scientist about his "journey from graduate school to Professorship... at least that's the plan." While lots of topics both scientific and not so scientific are covered, it's clear this graduate student's expertise is in some form of evolutionary biology, and he's keeping up with developments in the fields.
The writing style is surprisingly enjoyable without being deliberately confrontational, even when the subject has to do with the interminable "science vs. religion" debates. Our random scientist includes charts and graphs in his posts and doesn't scrimp on explanations of detail. This is a blog to watch, maybe put some money on the odds that this scientist is going to be an excellent Professor someday soon.

Benefits of Abortion
Abortion is one of the most controversial topics today in every country. Abortion refers to the intentional termination of pregnancy after conception. This particular procedure enables many women in the world to stop their pregnancies through killing the fetus or the undeveloped embryo. The following are some of the benefits of abortion.
1. Ensures that the woman is happy
One of the privileges that every woman is entitled to is the right to be happy. A child can sometimes disrupt a woman's quest for happiness. Even though she might decide to give the baby up for adoption, there is still the problem of carrying the fetus in the womb for nine moths. On the other hand, having an abortion can solve this particular problem and ensure the woman's happiness.
2. Relieves the child of misery
An abortion can also be seen as relieving the child of misery that would have been inevitably suffered in the future. Usually, the mother who is looking to have the abortion is very inexperienced and young to take good care of the baby. As a result, the baby will be malnourished with no medical care while getting little love or attention. The system of foster care is not any better with only a very small percentage of children adopted by suitable parents. The rest of the children remain in this foster care system that has very little personal care.
In both cases, these children will have very poor education due to the lack of discipline and attention. They usually grow up to be unproductive people with some being a menace to the immediate society. These people are also quite violent and lack morality because of the insignificant amount of care that they received themselves. Eventually, the child suffers greatly as well as the society which has to tolerate these violent crimes and behaviors.
There are various disadvantages of abortion and one is the fact that it might damage the womb. This means that you will not be able to have children in the future. The other drawback is simply the emotional baggage that comes with such a decision.

Last time I looked at a text which Jennifer Whiting claimed could not be interpreted in a certain way, yet that interpretation turned out to be (it seems) correct!
Today I'll look at a passage as regards which, according to Whiting, scholars such as W.D. Ross have committed an "error", and yet, on closer examination, it isn't so clear that the error isn't Whiting's.
But first some background. Whiting's interpretation of Aristotle on friendship is, like Meyer on the voluntary, revisionist. From Irwin she inherits a worry about "rational egoism" in Aristotelian ethics: Does Aristotle perhaps think that friendship is no more than an extension of self-love, a "colonization" of others, as a way of more fully realizing oneself?
The antidote she provides is her idea of "impersonal" or "impartial" friends:
Once we accept this distinction [in NE IX.8] between self-love properly construed and self-love as it is usually (but mistakenly) understood, we are supposed to see an important sense in which self-love properly construed is impartial: insofar as self-love properly construed involves the virtuous person's love for herself qua virtuous, and insofar as a genuinely virtuous agent will value virtue as such, the virtuous agent should love other virtuous agents in much the same way that she loves herself (i.e. qua virtuous) (p. 293, Kraut anthology).Whiting's interpretation effectively turns the NE treatment of friendship on its head. When Aristotle says that "a friend is another self", he might just as well have said, on this interpretation, that "a self is another friend". To form a friendship is not to extend anything (self-love, familiarity), and certainly not to cultivate affection on the basis of "brute" similarities (same home town, same famiy) but rather to act on a recognition of oneself as one among equal others and estimable only insofar as one is virtuous
One might wonder whether this isn't a rather desperate response to a worry that is inappropriately brought to Aristotle's text. At first glance, it might seem that Aristotle is no more in danger of being a "rational egoist" than Thomas Reid is of being a Hobbesian. And one might think that someone who approached the text in order to resolve an alien worry would be almost guaranteed not to arrive at a sound interpretation.
Whiting of course has to deal with all of those texts in the NE VIII and IX which assign some kind of priority to self-love, or that describe friendship as extending outwards to others, from self-love and from affection within the family, often on the basis of similarity and commonality, rather than "impartial" virtue (e.g. the affection of two brothers for each other, simply because they have the same parents)--the texts that have led some scholars recently to argue that the Stoic theory of oikeiosis has its roots in Aristotle. Some of this contrary evidence she ignores in her essay; other passages she tries to explain away or interpret in a novel manner, more consistent with her view.
I'll examine some of her interpretations in subsequent posts, to see whether they withstand scrutiny.
But here's something for today. Whiting writes as follows:
We may better appreciate Aristotle's strategy once we note a common error in recent translations of VIII.1. After saying that philia seems to belong by nature to parents in relation to their offspring, and to offspring in relation to their parents, Aristotle says that such philia (perhaps including natural philia more generally) occurs
not only among human beings, but also among birds and most animals, and [among] those belonging to the same clan [tois homoethnesi], especially human beings; whence we praise those who are lovers of humankind [philanthropous]; for one might see in traveling widely that every human is oikeion to every other and [likewise] dear [philon] (VIII.1.1155a14-22).Ross (1980) renders tois homoethnesi "members of the same race". Irwin and Rowe each replace this with talk of belonging to the same species. Irwin defends "species" by saying that "the rest of the paragraph shows that Aristotle has species in mind (i.e. friendship among dogs or human beings, rather than friendship among greyhounds or Greeks)" (1999: 273). But this misses Aristotle's point, which is that human beings stand out among animals as especially clannish. We are the most ethnocentric -- or, as Aristotle puts it, the most homoethnic--of animals. That is why we praise those who are (simply) philanthropos: they have managed to overcome this common but regrettable tendency (pp. 290-1).
First of all, as I mentioned, I wonder whether it is wise to charge a distinguished scholar such as W.D. Ross with an "error". Isn't this kind of language likely to be misleading, and provide a poor example, to students? [Note: I retract the highlighted phrase. See appended comment below.] What is at issue, surely, is rather the plausibility of a certain interpretation--how much weight one gives to which considerations; what 'antecedent probabilities' (Butler and Newman) are appropriately brought to bear on the text. And someone unfamiliar with Aristotle generally or with Greek might simply accept Whiting's assertion on her authority.
Second, Whiting's argument appears circular. She argues, in effect: the usual interpretation is not consistent with my interpretation, and therefore those who think otherwise "miss the point". Yet isn't Irwin's reasoning very much to the point? And it is not answered by anything that Whiting says in reply.
For my part, I would render tois homoethnesi as "of the same stock"--no more precision than that is needed, such as restricting the term to species. I would do so because of the order of considerations that Aristotle is presenting, which in my view is the following: (i) natural philia of parents for offspring; (ii) natural philia of offspring for parents; and (iii) natural philia of offspring toward each other. (I'll give the full context below, so that you can see this progession.) "Of the same stock", then, is supposed to refer to a broad range of phenomena that would fall under heading (iii), e.g. affection of siblings for each other; of cousins; of members of a clan; and also of the entire human race, viewed as having a common descent.
The order of reasons in the passage under consideration is exactly the same as in VIII.12. There a natural affection based on common descent, mentioned in the third place, is referred to as affection based on tau0ton ai(=ma kai\ r(i/zan, "the same blood and root" (1161b32). (Note that r(i/za is used to mean "race" or "family", as LSJ indicates. And isn't the older meaning of filanqrwpi/a that of an attitude of the gods toward the human race, taken as a single species?) Of course then Aristotle would be recommending affection not based on "impartial" virtue, and which varies as does the 'distance' someone has from oneself.
It furthermore seems quite unAristotelian to suppose that Aristotle here is suggesting that human beings should aim to overcome natural tendencies to affection--nowhere else in VIII and IX does he suggest any such thing, but just the contrary.
Note, finally, that Whiting's added "[likewise]" is an overtranslation. In the Greek there is only kai, "and". In my view this is meant to express a consequence: each human being belongs somehow to every other, and as a consequence each is naturally dear to everyone else. But it's better, I think, to render this simply as "and" and let the reader judge how that is to be interpreted.
Here's the Greek. I'll mark the progression of considerations:
fu&sei t' e0nupa&rxein e1oike [i] pro_j to_ gegennhme/non tw|~ gennh&santi kai\ [ii] pro_j to_ gennh~san tw|~ gennhqe/nti, ou) mo&non e0n a)nqrw&poij a)lla_ kai\ e0n o1rnisi kai\ toi=j plei/stoij tw~n zw|&wn, kai\ [iii] toi=j o(moeqne/si pro_j a1llhla, kai\ ma&lista toi=j a)nqrw&poij, o3qen tou_j filanqrw&pouj e0painou~men. i1doi d' a1n tij kai\ e0n tai=j pla/naij w(j oi0kei=on a3paj a1nqrwpoj a)nqrw&pw| kai\ fi/lon.

Very good 8.4 From 51 reviews
I was here for 1 night, the hotel provided water and fruit on our arrival. Balcony was nice. Hotel in a good location.
A basic but price worthy hotel. Its located close to pigeon rocks. If you don't need a hotel with all the services and facilities it's a budget friendly choice.
One gets what ones budget affords / but this was very pleasant classic decor , not ultra modern , but glad such places still exist without attempted glitter and tacky glamour. We loved the staf, Zainab, Samer, Mohamed, everyone was more than friendly and helpful in every way which counts a lot in enjoying a happy stay. Our room had a very good partial sea view, simple because the location is so close to the Corniche and the wonderful Minara cafe where you can sit hous with she's ha and drinks and watch the sea spray! Wonderful location! We were very happy with the huge room, so much space plus a balcony. We will return

Plastic takes far too long to decompose in the natural landscape. This, along with the widespread use of plastic materials, many of which aren't properly recycled, has contributed to too much plastic pollution in our environments.
However, an enzyme that is able to efficiently break down plastics may be on the horizon. An evolved enzyme was originally found in nature in Japan and has since been worked on in the laboratory. While studying the enzyme, scientists "accidentally engineered a mutant version that is even better at degrading the plastic than the one that has evolved in nature," according to a National Geographic article.
The enzyme is currently able to digest polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which is what soft drink bottles are made from. Now, the goal is to improve the enzyme's efficiency and optimize it to be able to consume other types of plastic as well.
Modifying enzymes capable of degrading plastic is a positive start to reducing our existing plastic footprint. Hopefully, further development and discoveries will lead to plastics being broken down at an accelerated pace. In the meantime, we must make an effort to reduce plastic use, especially of single use plastic.

Rare Gallery footage and special New Year's Eve offer from DJ Nicky Siano
by Andrew Mason
Earlier this year DJ legend Nicky Siano threw one of the greatest parties in recent memory, a throwback to the glory days of New York City nightlife that drew a huge and enthusiastic crowd. The founder of the uber-influential Gallery club of the '70s (which employed the teenaged Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles and inspired the Paradise Garage) chose a vintage bumper car arcade called the Eldorado in Coney Island for the location, due to the jaw-dropping vintage Richard Long sound system it had lurking in the shadows, the same type of system Long and his partner Alex Rossner installed in the Loft and Studio 54. After the overwhelmingly positive response, Siano is reprising the event on New Year's Eve at the same venue, but upping the ante significantly. Joining the turntable master of mood are three legends of the disco era, performing their classics live.
When it comes to dance music, it doesn't get much more foundational than the hits Rochelle Fleming had with her group First Choice. Starting with "Armed and Extremely Dangerous" and including smashes "Let No Man Put Asunder" and "Doctor Love," these are pinnacles of soulful disco. Melba Moore got her start on Broadway but soon found a home in the clubs via funky tracks like "Standing Right Here" and "You Stepped into My Life," favorites at the Garage and more mainstream clubs alike. DC LaRue gained fans in the disparate worlds of disco and uptown park jams with his "Cathedrals" and "Indiscreet," both massive underground club tracks and early b-boy break classics.
The price of admission will bring performances from these legends in addition to Siano on the decks, and more. "Everything inside is free," Siano says, adding that there will be food, a champagne toast, and other surprises. As is Brooklyn tradition, the New Year's Eve ball drop will take place at the Coney Island Parachute Drop, visible from the Eldorado. "It's a family event," Siano emphasizes, "all ages are welcome!"
Keeping in Gallery tradition, Siano is organizing the party himself, with help from a small circle of friends and some support from discogs.com and Serato. As a special offer for Wax Poetics readers, he has set up a page that will allow the purchase of discounted tickets, exclusively for Wax Poetics family. Info and all details are available via this link.
To get in the mood, Siano graciously provided Wax Poetics with a clip from his never-publicly-shown documentary Love Is the Message, a brief look inside the Gallery from 1977 that gives a good representation of the spirit of the party. "The crowd has diversified," Siano says, "but the energy captured in this clip will be there New Year's Eve!"
Wax Poetics readers interested in attending can find more information and details for purchasing tickets here.

Pumpkin Eye-Brawl Coming To K-Mart
Hey Addicts!
I'm back with a quick announcement that you are going to love to hear! So I was doing my usual thing after homework checking out what is new in the world of Skylanders. I get a message from my friend Marty and he asks me if I heard anything about Pumpkin Eye- Brawl or Wicked Thumpback? This was my face o_O?? I never felt so out of the loop so I had to check out Dark Spyro and I saw the post all about the Pumpkin Eye-Brawl and the hint of a Wicked Thumpback, but nothing was confirmed still was waiting on an answer from TFB. Thanks to fellow addict Rachael P. I was inform that K-Mart will be having the variant so guys don't rush to ebay or anything to try and get unless you just have to have it. Just don't fall victim to the scalping I foresee coming in a major way! No images of the variant as of yet, but some speculate that it may be a Jack Pumpkin, Legend of Sleepy Hollow style figure. I hope so that would be so cool or if he was holding a pumpkin and his green eye instead of blue that glows bright orange! We will just have to wait and see I'm excited I hope to see a wicked Thumpback as well. As a collector I love the variants the thrill of the hunt is the best part for me I love the feeling I get when I find something rare or something I have been hunting for a while. I understand it can be a down right pain in the butt for some of you, but in my opinion you can't be a true portal master if you don't enjoy hunting it's all part of the game. So now it looks like I have 5 new figures to hunt down the 3 Metallics, Pumpkin Eye-Brawl, and thanks to Portal Flip and Dark Spyro Gnarly Tree Rex in Single Pack. Maybe 6 if they decide to release the rumored Wicked Thumpback can you say stoked! Man these late variants are a blessing and a curse great to see them hate to see the faces of kids that can't get them. I will have to hold a contest for them maybe a Halloween Costume Contest let me know what you guys would think about that idea. Well, once again we come to a close good luck and happy hunting addicts until next time catch you on the Skyside!

Bookmark the permalink. 8 Comments.
As far as I'm aware, Wicked Thumpback was a joke that started with the skylanderkids on youtube and it hit darkSpyro like a hurricane… If you look at the pictures of it, the base was red, not blue like the rest of the water element figures. 😦 I wouldn't get my hopes up for that particular "variant."
a Game Stop employee told me today that Pumpkin Eye Brawl is a possibility that Activision considered, and may go to production with it if they get a lot of demand for it.
An impressive reveal, I just given this onto a new colleague who was simply doing a little analysis about this. And he in fact bought us breakfast because I found it for him.. look. So permit me to reword that: Thnx for the take care of! But sure Thnkx for paying the time to go over this, I am strongly about this and enjoy reading more on this subject matter. If possible, as you get expertise, do you mind updating your blog with additional details? It can be highly of great help for me. Large thumb up for this post!

My answer is the list of some of the people I've met at Boat Shows:
- John Blake, author of The Sea Chart (above left)
- Bob Shepton, author of Addicted to Adventure (above right)
- Elaine Bunting, editor Yachting World
- Tom Cunliffe, author
- Will Stirling, boat builder
- Sam Llewellyn, editor Maritime Quarterly
- Skip Novak, around the world sailor
- Stokey Woodall, sailor
- Roger Taylor, sailor of Mingming up to 80N
- Paul and Rachel Chandler, who were captured by pirates
- Geoff Holt, paraplegic sailor
- Peter Webb, sailed round Spiztbergen in an open boat
- Liza Copeland, author of the Just Cruising books
- Sally Kettle, author of Sally's Odd as Sea rowing the Atlantic
- Hector Macdonald, author of The Storm Prophet
- Jo Rogers, one of the Sisterhood
- Jock Wishart, Arctic veteran
Plus I've met up with old friends, and made some new ones with whom I've sailed with across the Channel and between Lisbon and Gibraltar.
For me the boat show isn't about things - boats, gear or even Guinness - its about people.
Each year the Boat Show seems to shrink a bit, become a bit smaller and the organisers must be wondering how to boost it, to make it relevant again.
I say focus on the people of sailing, the men and women who have stories to tell who we'd like to meet and hear from. Create a series of talks by writers and adventurers, with lectures and Q&A sessions.
This always so much interesting stuff going on - just think about what's in the news, with the Volvo, Extreme and America's Cup. There's clubs full of people worth hearing from - I had a great chat with someone at the Cruising Association stand.
That is something you can't get on the internet, something unique about being there in person, something to answer that question: why go to a boat show?
