Asian American Arts Alliance's Locating the Sacred Festival explores "sacred" in New York with music, dance, exhibitions and talks
—Festival aims to promote diverse Asian American community and offer opportunity for all New Yorkers to reach across cultures, never more important, as recent attacks at Wisconsin Sikh temple demonstrate—
(NEW YORK, 20 August 2012)— From an inflatable Buddha on the East River to a flash mob in Washington Square Park, the Asian American Arts Alliance's Locating the Sacred Festival promises all New Yorkers a chance to glimpse the sublime and the sacred in everyday life. In the wake of the shootings at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin and as the eleventh anniversary of 9/11 approaches, New Yorkers are reminded that opportunities for greater cultural understanding are never more important.
The 25-event, 12-day festival—which takes place in all five New York boroughs from 12 September to 23 September 2012—is a vibrant collaboration between artists of all disciplines with spaces all across the city, exploring together the meaning of the word "sacred" and its relevance in their communities. The festival is coordinated by the Asian American Arts Alliance, a non-profit organization that for 30 years has supported individual artists and small arts groups in New York.
The festival opens at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, 12 September 2012, at the magnificent Church of the Ascension in Greenwich Village with an innovative program of music exploring the intersection of sound and soul. It features sound artist Bora Yoon and the South Asian Sufi devotional musicians of Riyaaz Qawwali from Texas. The event begins with a blessing led by Burmese Buddhist monks who led the 2007 "Saffron Revolution."
"This amazing festival showcases the diversity and talent of the Asian American community, which now makes up more than 1 million people in New York, or 13% percent of the population," said Andrea Louie, executive director of the Alliance. "The festival aims to promote artists as agents of change, demonstrating the power of art and culture to unleash imagination, break down barriers, and connect communities together for the greater good."
In addition to such events as Dana Leong's sundown concert in the Skyroom at the New Museum, Kelly Zen Yie-Tsai's 9/11-inspired spoken word theater world premiere, or Vangeline Theater's Japanese Butoh performance at Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, the festival features three talks as well as special initiatives such as the online dialogue/blog, "Making the Memory Sacred: Art, Human Rights, and Community," and a team of filmmakers who will trade tasty treats from a food truck in exchange for recipes and family stories.
"After two years of planning, we now turn it over to all New Yorkers to share in the exceptional work that has been created and to explore what is sacred to us all," said Nico Daswani, festival director for the Alliance.

HOTmilk, a New Zealand-based manufacturer of maternity and nursing lingerie, made a name for itself when one of its ads got a restricted rating on YouTube, requiring viewers to confirm that they were at least 17 years old.
It's because its advertisements look more like a much-racier Victoria's Secret campaign for expectant mothers.
Co-founder Lisa Ebbing came up with the idea for the company in 2005 when she was pregnant with her first child. She says this was before the "yummy mommy" phase, when the underwear options for expecting and nursing mothers were limited. She and her business partner Ange Crosbie decided to cater to mothers who still wanted to feel sexy.
Starting the company "basically took a lot of hard work and what we in New Zealand call Kiwi ingenuity, which is doing something with not much money and not much time," Ebbing told us. "We pretty much had an idea, scraped up the money, and did it on a shoestring." When asked to elaborate on what is defined as Kiwi ingenuity, Ebbing explained:
"We had to go out and buy all the components of a bra and make the first samples ourselves on our home sewing machine. I then became the model, my husband the photographer and graphic designer. We then bought a book on html and built ourselves our own website, and Ange, my business partner travelled the country selling product while juggling another job."
In order to launch HOTmilk, Ebbing and Crosbie took out a business loan and it took four years for the company to become profitable as it was growing and expanding into new markets. "We've also seen sales plateau for the past two years due to the economic downturn, but we're seeing sales increasing again this year," she says.
HOTmilk is kind of a family business with husbands of both partners working for the company. The company, which started with three employees, now has 15. Roly Ebbing is heading up the new MILKMAN line, which consists of briefs and boxers for men.
"Originally we just wanted a gift with purchase item for HOTmilk which was MILKMAN, but it was so well liked, we had to do it as its own brand," Ebbing explained, saying that MILKMAN has met expectations.
After being introduced in September of last year, MILKMAN line introduced additional products containing wishbone technology in December. "Wishbone technology is a fantastic innovation in crotch detailing," she says.
Currently in its sixth year, HOTmilk's annual revenue is $5 million. Its bras are priced at $50 per bra and are sold globally in 900 boutiques as compared to local 25 boutiques, which sold HOTmilk's products its first year. HOTmilk is looking to partner with department stores, "but only a select few since we still want to work with boutiques," says Ebbing, who describes her ideal partner as a company like Nordstrom.
Ebbing named Triumph International and Bravado Designs as competitors, and says HOTMilk expects to go public in about five years after it reaches its $20 million annual revenue goal.
"It wasn't scandalous as all lingerie brands do sexy commercials and this wasn't overtly sexual, it was simply that the model was pregnant and why should a pregnant woman be treated any differently, she's fabulous at all stages of her life, and in my mind, a pregnant body is one to celebrate even more as it's going through such an incredible journey." - Lisa Ebbing

The second bundle includes Sunset Overdrive, and doesn't have a price point or release date yet, though it will probably hit on October 28th to coincide with Sunset Overdrive's release. Perhaps the most exciting tidbit here is that the Sunset Overdrive Bundle will include a white Xbox One.

Attention new bloggers! 👥
Most of you by now may have read a number of blogs about blogging. Why do I know that? I've been reading some as well. The first blog which popped up to my 'reader' was about blogging. And of course most of you might have googled 'how to make your blog interesting' just as I have.
With an understanding that you and I both know all them tips by heart, I'll just make my message very short. Oh wait! Now that I think about it, there may be people who aren't familiar with these tips, so I'll help them out just a bit. Bear with me, the all knowing.
- Be genuine.
- Determine the purpose of your blog, and stick with it.
- Don't be boring, make sure your blog has great content.
- Post regularly.
- Mix it up a bit. Try out a new type of content every month.
- Neither too short, nor too long – Make it just right.
- Post on weekdays, your readers are less likely to be online on weekends. 😉 (That's a neat trick.)
- Make sure your content is SEO-friendly. Beginner's Guide to SEO
- Use social media.
- Make your blog visually interesting.
- Don't worry about the numbers. It's always better to have followers (even a few) who are very keen about your blog.
- Be part of the blogging world.
That's pretty much it.
Is it though?
Nah uh. It isn't.
Behold.. The greatest tip of all time! (It's not as great as I make it seem but here goes..)
ENJOY YOURSELF! Period! Enjoy writing! Enjoy sharing your thoughts! Heck, even enjoy pressing that 'publish' button. Just enjoy everything about it! Why is this so important? Because, at the end of a long tiring day, that's what you'll get back from blogging. Happiness. Pure joy.
I do understand how important it is that you make your blog matter to your readers. But it's your blog, make it matter to you first! Then you can worry about the others.
Happy joyous blogging! 😇
With Love.

All who have seen the paintings are impressed by their great beauty, their scientific fidelity, and their artistic appeal.
– The Beloit Alumnus, 1924
Twelve oversized paintings line the walls of the Logan Museum's second floor Shaw Gallery. They've adorned the walls of the museum since 1925. The Rise of Mankind murals show human evolution as anthropologists understood it in the early 20th century. They also illustrate the lives of indigenous Americans from the frozen north, across the deserts of the southwest, and up into the heights of the Andes.
The paintings had two purposes. The first was to bring the museum's objects to life by showing the people who made and used them in realistic settings and poses. Artist John Warner Norton worked nearly two years to insure the murals were beautiful and also scientifically accurate. Many museums of the day were creating similar contexts by installing dioramas and full-sized "life groups."
The murals' second purpose was as a teaching tool. The Logan was founded as a teaching museum for the college and remains so today. The murals remain a teaching tool today as well. Every semester, museum curators use the Rise of Mankind paintings to frame discussions about the history of museums, anthropology, and the representation of other times and people.
Science, Art, Stereotype: The Norton Murals explores the history of the murals, how they came to the Logan, and what they reveal about anthropology in the early 20th century. Objects in the museum's collections before 1926 are exhibited to give some idea of the murals' original contextualizing function. Finally, the murals' important legacy is illustrated by children's books from the 2000s that still use Norton's imagery.
The exhibit runs through Sunday Dec. 3 in the Shaw Gallery on the museum's second floor.

Summer vacation is over. It's the beginning of a new work year for me.
I've been in this industry for almost 20 years now. September has always felt like a new beginning. Of course, January is the traditional start but it is also an intense time of big sales — people trying out their new devices — and time seems to fly by. Like many others I'm very focused on short-term goals in January.
September, when the temperature of the air begins to drop, feels more like a more important change. It's a transition to our next year.
September, when the temperature of the air begins to drop, feels more like a more important change. It's a transition to our next year.
I've been reflecting over the summer about what types of changes I'd like to implement over the next 12 months in my organization. I'll lay out three of them. They are mainly about the "soft" stuff that leads to real, "hard" results.
Here are the three changes I would like to make.
The first is about how we talk. The Paysite Meetup is a success in part because there is a real difference between discussion and dialogue. Discussion is an exchange of views that usually doesn't change minds. Dialogue, on the other hand, can help each of us to add to a pool of collective meaning and find new perspectives.
There are some necessary conditions for this to happen. People have to be vulnerable. To do that we have to feel safe. We also need to really want the outcome of dialogue (more shared knowledge). So, we need a facilitator and an environment that is explicitly designed to make dialogue happen. It's worth the effort. Attendees at the Paysite Meetup have called it the most important day of learning they've had in their entire careers in the industry. The entire day is one big dialogue.
I want to bring more of this way of talking into Vendo. Like most companies we have discussions that quickly devolve into two sides that disagree. There isn't a lot of learning when that happens. So, I want to build better structures for how we talk to create dialogue. We want to freely and creatively explore issues. We want bigger ideas, not smaller ones. We also want to explore lots of options so we can do what's right. Dialogue enables this to happen.
The second is how we learn. Organizations that can learn quickly look very different from typical companies. Visit one and you'll notice that they are very open about their problems. They talk about the things that are not working. By contrast, I've been in many, many groups that don't want to talk about failures. These groups don't learn very quickly because they don't get access to the full group's ability to solve problems.
In Peter Senge's book, "The Fifth Discipline," he talks about the difference this made at Ford Motor Co. as they were developing a new Lincoln. Historically, when Ford was developing a new car people would say that everything was fine yet they would miss deadlines and over spend.
With the new Lincoln project they decided to shift the way they learned. They became more vulnerable, talked about problems as soon as they came up, and made a number of other similar changes. The results were that key metrics like how many parts were ready for production by deadline went from around 50 percent to around 80 percent. They had never seen results like that. It came from a different way of learning.
Learning too slowly leads to big mistakes. My company is committed to innovation. If we don't learn fast while trying to do something new then we will waste time and money and don't come up with anything really cool. We know that from hard experience.
The main reason that many groups are afraid to take risks is that the risks are too big. If you can take small risks and learn quickly you've got a much better chance of reaching your goals.
We're also trying to take the fear of risk out by publicly embracing failures. We now begin our weekly executive meeting by talking about a risk we took, a failure or "flub" and a success. It's not easy at first. Do I really want to talk about a failure? But we know why we are doing it - and it really opens a different kind of dialogue than we were having before.
The third focus for me over the next year is vision. By vision I simply mean what we really want. I'm going to be working with people on our personal visions (what do I want to do at Vendo) and our teams (what do we want to do together that we can't do on our own) and for the company as a whole.
Our wants, our desires, exist. They are real. I'll be working to uncover them and articulate them better. With vision, I want to create a kind of tension between what we want and where we are in the present moment.
This tension is free energy that will help propel us forward. As humans, we'll always feel a gap between what we want and where we are. Seeing both clearly: I want X, my current reality is Y, helps us to develop plans and take action to go from Y to X. Initially I'm going to spend a lot of time on clarifying both our vision and current reality then trying to work with both in mind on a daily, weekly basis.
Those are the three main areas I'm going to focus on over the next year to make my organization stronger. How about you? What are you working on to improve the teams you are a part of?
Mitch Platt is co-founder of Vendo, which uses artificial intelligence to power its billing platform that allows merchants to continuously improve and grow their businesses.

Hello Cards fans. After looking at the schedule, measuring the Vegas odds, and even some fantasy projections; here is what I think is going to happen this year.
In this post I will look at the first three games of the year and I will follow up with another three game prediction shortly.
Let's start with a couple assumptions that I am making to create this breakdown. We will stay relatively healthy. No injuries to the nine guys that made the most recent NFL top 100 list or to thin position groups like cornerback or O-line. But, I am making that assumption for all of our opponents as well.
Cardinals 23- Patriots 20
The offense has not looked like itself without John Brown stretching the field. He is going to be out of shape and out of sync when he does come back.
The Patriots D is tough even with the loss of Rob Ninkovich and will hold us to only two touchdowns. One on the ground and one through the air. But they will get an easy score themselves off of a bad Palmer turnover.
The three Catanzaro field goals will be the difference even if he does miss one of his tries.
Cardinals 31- Bucs 17
The Cardinals have a week under their belt and are a little more balanced in their attack. Both Johnsons will score on the ground and Palmer will throw a pair of touchdown passes. One may be to a running back, but a pass non the less.
The Bucs are outmatched and their front seven is better than in the past, but they are not ready for our road grading O-line.
Jameis Winston will throw a beautiful pass for a score, but will make enough boneheaded plays that his team will be out of the game by the second quarter. BA won't be happy with how we finish.
Cardinals 20- Bills 13
Low scoring affair with two very good defenses slugging it out. We are lucky to have drawn this cold weather road game so early in the season. We will look bad on the east coast like we have in the past, but our D will win this game for us and bring us back home 3-0.
Honeybadger gets back into form against a team that likes to throw to the slot and people will start talking early about the DPOY race after this game. Catanzaro will have another miss outside in the wind.
I expect a fast start to this season like we have had for the last two seasons. Our D will be slightly ahead of the offense at this point of the year, but I think that will change as we go on.
I will follow up with games four through six in a couple days, but will have all 16 games before the start of week one.
Let me know if you guys would like to see predictions for any other teams.

Obama administration to push lenders for progress on assistance to homeowners
Sunday, November 29, 2009
The Obama administration plans to announce on Monday efforts to step up pressure on lenders participating in its massive foreclosure prevention program in a push for transparency that should provide new details about the industry's performance.
The $75 billion federal program, known as Making Home Affordable, got off to a slow and frustrating start, but the administration has recently noted that more than 650,000 borrowers had signed up for it. Now the program, which lowers mortgage payments to 31 percent of a person's income, is facing questions about how many of the enrolled borrowers are actually qualified to receive its assistance.
A recent report by the Congressional Oversight Panel, which is monitoring the government's Troubled Assets Relief Program, found that fewer than 1 percent of borrowers in the program had moved from an initial trial modification into a permanent one. Borrowers must make three payments and provide extensive documentation to convert into a permanent loan modification.
Homeowners and consumer advocates have complained that even after submitting and resubmitting information, some borrowers have been told, with little or no explanation, that they do not qualify for the program after all.
The Treasury Department already releases monthly reports on how many trial loan modifications lenders have completed. It has shown, for example, that some major lenders such as Bank of America have lagged behind competitors in signing up borrowers to the program. But beginning in December, the report card will also detail how many of the borrowers that lenders enrolled have made enough payments and provided enough documentation to move into a permanent modification, according to a Treasury official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the plan had not been publicly announced.
The administration initially gave lenders three months to complete that process, but extended it after lenders complained that it was difficult to get sufficient documentation from borrowers. It has also simplified some of the documentation required from borrowers to qualify for the program.
The conversion of trial modifications to permanent ones is a key benchmark of the success of the program, which the administration hopes will eventually help as many as 4 million borrowers. Lenders are paid for helping borrowers under the program, but do not receive their payments until the modifications have been made permanent.
The administration will also be announcing partnerships with state and local entities to help borrowers move into permanent modifications and more resources for borrowers looking for help, the Treasury official said.
"It's true that we are taking additional steps to enhance servicer transparency and accountability as part of a broader focus on maximizing conversion rates to permanent modifications," the official said. "Additional details about this effort -- which will also include partnerships with a broad array of organizations and new resources for borrowers -- will be announced on Monday.
The administration has also been under pressure to prove its program does enough to help unemployed borrowers, a growing part of the foreclosure problem. Borrowers with little or no income have fewer options to save their home, housing advocates say. And government officials are set to announce rules as soon as this week on an expansion of the program, giving lenders incentive money to allow borrowers to sell their homes for less than their outstanding balance, which is known as a short sale.

The Federation of Young European Greens (FYEG) together with its Turkish Member Organisation- the Turkish Young Greens and with the support of the FYEG Gender working group calls for justice for Pinar Selek, a sociologist, activist and writer. Because of her human rights work and activism she has been a victim of the Turkish juridical system for more than 14 years.
Terry Reintke, Co-Spokesperson of FYEG says 'Pinar Selek has been imprisoned and tortured, she has been discharged three times but is still facing lifetime imprisonment. It seems that the authorities try to silence this very important voice for Human Rights in Turkey".
When refusing to give the names of the people she interviewed during her research on the Kurds in Turkey, Pinar was tortured, while the entire process was covered with false reports and additional accusations on other cases, in which there are evidence that she had been unjustly accused.
Onur Fidangul, activist from the Turkish Young Greens states: "With all irregularities and human rights violations this case is nothing more than a crime itself, a try to oppress and threat all those who are standing up for human rights and the rights of most marginalized and discriminated.
We are strongly expressing our solidarity and calling for international support from our Member Organizations and other human rights organizations and institutions to express solidarity and play their role in stopping this madness.

Sunday morning...the chickens have been fed since the sun was risin'. Everything in WV is coated in ice still. Even me I think. I've been locked away up here in my office- straddling two worlds like I love to do. An author always sits on the fence so to speak, never tippin' their toes fully into any real thing. Until you have a moment...an aha' moment- a moment in the middle of your day, in the middle of your mind...the kind of moment you wait countless days for. I had one of those last night- early morning I spose'. I sat straight up at my desk, smack dab in the middle of a vampire story, where the main character has to at last make her choice. Choose love or choose life.
The best kind of aha' moment in my wiseness, is the one that you didn't feel coming. The one you never saw until, BAM! there it is- the moment when you straddle the fence no longer. And what a good thing that is, no matter what heart break may follow after. That's life you know. It takes breaks of your heart til' there are no more to take, til' somehow all the pieces gone make something whole, and the heart beats again with nothing more than the moments that are now.
I passed on a 7 year signing. I passed cause' in an author's mind, 7 years is a very long time. So many stories, so many lives to live, so much to feel and to know and to learn. The greatest aha' moments are the ones we question ourselves about. We toil, we fret, we break, and we feel. For some of us, a lot of us, an aha' moment is almost always about love. How funny, my character has to choose her heart...or choose her heart. Life breaks us...and yet we learn to jump full forced from that fenced perch anyway.

It's merienda time and the food cart is making its way to your desk. Will you pick up a sweet cupcake, a salty bag of chips, a cheesy white bread sandwich?
How about none of the above?
There's a reason it's called junk food: though they might be tasty, they don't usually have any redeeming nutritional value. The amount of processing their ingredients undergo strips them of naturally-occurring flavor, vitamins and minerals. In order for junk food to be palatable, manufacturers use a lot of fat, salt, sugar, and artificial flavorings. (Imagine eating unsalted corn chips or unfrosted, unflavored cereal. Cardboard, anyone?) You may end up consuming a lot of empty calories that contribute to your girth rather than your health.
If you're making a conscious effort to eat healthier but can't stop making the habitual raid on the supermarket junk food aisle, here's how you can change your ways.
Over years of junk food abuse, you've trained your mouth and your brain to crave these kinds of foods. Humans are also genetically hardwired by our hunter-gatherer past to scarf down sugars, fats, and salts in case of food scarcity. However, living in this era where food is plentiful, there's no need for such behavior.
Retrain your palate by substituting these healthy whole foods that provide the same tastes and mouth feel as your junk food favorites. Whole foods are also chockful of nutrients your body needs to work at its fullest potential. Soon enough, you'll be kicking that junk food habit and craving healthy treats instead.
Replaces: frosted cereal
Your body needs carbohydrates for energy, but you don't need to get them from sugary cereals. Oatmeal, especially the non-instant kind, is high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, and protein, a combination that makes you feel fuller, longer. You can flavor your oatmeal with natural honey and fruit, and give it more texture by adding nuts to the mix.
Fruit (fresh, frozen, or dried)
Replaces: candy, canned fruit in syrup, ice cream
You don't have to give up your sweet tooth. Fruits are just as sweet, or even sweeter, than candy. Not all fruit is equal, though. Have fruit fresh, frozen, or dried, rather than drowning in sugar syrup (which is just as bad as having candy). If you're looking for a sweet fix that fills you up, go for fresh fruit with lots of fiber and water, like apples. Go for frozen fruit if you're looking for a chilly treat. If you're looking for something intensely sweet, dried fruit like raisins and apricots will satisfy that craving.
Natural yogurt
Replaces: ice cream
Sometimes you want something creamy and comforting. Instead of sugary, fat-laden ice cream, go for natural yogurt. It has probiotics ("good" bacteria) which help with digestion. Too sour? Drizzle on some honey or add some dried fruit.
Dark chocolate
Replaces: milk chocolate
It might surprise you to know that cocoa isn't the first ingredient in a milk chocolate bar. There are even some varieties that have no cocoa content at all, but are merely chocolate-flavored slabs of fat. (Yikes!) Try dark chocolate, especially brands with 80% cocoa or more. Dark chocolate has been shown to contain flavonoids that promote heart health. The more intense chocolate flavor will also sate your chocolate craving faster.
Whole-grain muffin
Replaces: doughnut
A doughnut is basically sugar, shortening, and flour deep-fried in oil – not very nutritious. If you're looking for that mealy mouth feel, try a whole-grain muffin instead. You can even split one with a friend; the whole grains in the muffin are more filling, ensuring you eat less.
Flavored sparkling mineral water
Replaces: soda
Soda is full of simple sugars; drinking a glass shoots the sugar straight into your bloodstream, causing a sugar high and a crash after. It's also very easy to drink too much of these empty calories. Additionally, carbonated drinks leech calcium from your teeth and bones, making them prone to brittleness.
Try a flavored mineral water, or even better, make your own by adding a slice of lime or lemon to an ice-filled glass of water. If you're craving the fizzy feeling, use naturally carbonated mineral water.
Salted almonds
Replaces: chips
There's nothing quite like the crunch and texture of chips – or is there? Grab a handful of lightly salted almonds the next time you get the munchies. Not only are they natural and unprocessed, but they have vitamins and minerals your body can use.
Baked sweet potato wedges
Replaces: French fries
Starchy, fatty, salty – there's no doubt why French fries are a favorite comfort food for many. You can still enjoy your potatoes baked instead of fried, flavored with a little salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also try sweet potato, which have a lower glycemic index, meaning they won't spike your blood sugar and leave you feeling hungry within an hour or two.
Do you have any other healthy food substitutes for junk food? Let me know in the comments!

Angular Perspective
This object is a cube, having therefore all its faces of equal dimensions; and as both sides recede, "angular perspective" is employed. The point of sight, horizontal line, and point of station, having been fixed upon, the line A is first to be drawn, touching the bottom of the nearest corner, and is for the geometrical scale or height of the cube, which, in this instance, will be called twelve feet; that is, twelve feet must be marked on the scale from the corner on either side. 1) The ground line of the square, taken from the centre of the geometrical scale line to the horizontal line; by its junction with which is determined the vanishing point or that side. 2) A line drawn from the above vanishing point to the point of station. 3) A line drawn at right angles at the point of station to the line 2, as far as the horizontal line, its intersection with which will give the correct vanishing point to the other side. 4) The ground line of the cube running to the last vanishing point. 5) The nearest corner of the cube, twelve feet in height, being equal to the width. The points of measurement are next to be ascertained, and to be marked in the usual way; and the lines B drawn from the ends of the geometrical scale towards the point of measurement give the perspective width or depth of both sides. This is found at their cutting of the ground lines 1 and 4. The line 6 represents the top line of one side of the cube, and runs from the nearest corner to the vanishing point. 7) The other top line; and it is drawn to the other vanishing point. 8) The far corner line raised vertically from the crossing of the lines B and 1. 9) The other corner line raised vertically from the intersection of the lines B and 4. The lines 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, being strengthened, the figure is complete.

A campaign group says it is celebrating after a Government Planning Inspector recommended that the area of Speckled Wood in the Ore Valley be designated as protected open space.
Ore Community Land Trust says it is delighted at the recommendation from Planning Inspector Richard Hollox relating to Hastings Borough Council's Development Management Plan.
Mr Hollox has recommended that land at Victoria Avenue and to the rear of Old London Road be kept out of the plans for any future development.
However the Friends of Speckled Wood and SAD OWLS campaign groups are concerned that the owners of any land within these areas may object to it being taken out of the plan and trigger an appeal hearing.
There is currently a six-week consultation taking place until March 27 for the public or interested parties to make any comments on the inspector's recommendations. After this the council can modify its plan to accommodate the suggestions and then there would be another period of consultation before a final plan is submitted to the Government's planning inspectorate.
A statement from Ian Sier, chairman for the trust, read: "The Ore Community Land Trust is delighted to hear that the Planning Inspector as recommended that the area of 'Speckled Wood' in the Ore Valley proposed by the council as protected green space, along with two areas that were designated for development, should all be protected.
"The trust would like to thank the Inspector for listening to the submissions and for recognising just how important Speckled Wood is to local residents.
"The trust must also recognise the crucial role that Hastings borough councillors and officers played in responding to community support for Speckled Wood by redesignating a large area of land as urban green space in the draft Local Plan.
"The inspector's proposal is a tremendous milestone in the local campaign to protect Speckled Wood. It gives renewed impetus to achieve the trust's overall aim of preserving land in the Ore Valley as open green space for the enjoyment of the local community and for creating amenities such as a Village Green for Ore."
Martin Newbold, of the Friends of Speckled Wood, said: "The inspector's findings are out for consultation for six weeks and that the mater is not currently subject to a final decision. All this seems positive but it is early days. Please visit our new consultation address www.friendsofspeckledwoodmanagementtrust.org.uk/consultation."

Boise State Loses To Nevada 34-31 In Overtime, National Title Dreams Shattered
With one kick in overtime by Nevada kicker Anthony Martinez, Boise State's BCS dreams were smashed by the Wolfpack, who recovered from a 17 point halftime deficit to defeat the previously undefeated Broncos 31-31 in overtime. Boise had their chances to win but kicker Kyle Brotzman missed a 26 yard field goal at the end of regulation and a 29 yarder in overtime that gave Nevada the opening to shock the nation. See how it all went down in Reno, Nevada.
Highlights: (4) BSU - (19) Nevada

Black Eyed Peas To Perform During Super Bowl XLV Halftime Show
Well Thanksgiving weekend usually brings good news to the world. But this is not good news, this is awful.
The NFL has announced that (in the words of Mike Florio) the Super Bowl XLV halftime act will be "the glorified karaoke entourage otherwise known as the Black Eyed Peas" as was announced during the Cowboys-Saints game on FOX, which will air the Super Bowl on February 6th of the new year. Their announcement was similar to last year when CBS announced The Who would be the halftime show during Super Bowl XLIV.
FOX Sports Chairman David Hill had said that there would no fogies during this halftime show and the Black Eyed Peas certainly fit the mold. But Hill also said he wants a country star to perform since "it's kick-ass country down in Texas." That would have not been a bad choice as there are many fine country stars that actually have talent. But the Black Eyed Peas are atrocious and are a terrible choice.
I'm disappointed in FOX Sports and the NFL for this lackluster decision. Yes the old guys were old and shells of themselves (except for Springsteen who was awesome) but they at least had talent (even though Prince sucked). But was Dave Matthews or Elton John or Billy Joel or Eric Clapton or Van Halen booked?

One of the great comeback stories of all time, Josh Hamilton has overcome eight trips to rehab for alcohol and drug abuse in the past to easily become the American League Most Valuable Player. Hamilton led the majors in batting average at .359 and slugging percentage at .633 while hitting 32 homers and and batting in 100 runs despite missing most of September with broken ribs. He also led the Rangers to their first World Series appearance, which saw them fall to the San Francisco Giants.
"I would say a 99 percent chance that this would never happen," Hamilton said, chuckling. "I mean, honestly, I think a lot of people would agree with that."

Lily Allen's latest video for new song "Hard Out Here" is causing a bit of a stir on the web. British pop artist Lily Allen is known for being outspoken, from taking on consumerism in "The Fear", to blasting a certain conservative political figure in "F*** You". Now, Allen is sharing her opinion on sexism in pop music in "Hard Out Here."
The video begins with Lily Allen getting liposuction while a music executive asks how a woman could let herself go like that. We then see Lily Allen on set for the making of a music video, satirizing some of the the most recognizable features of some recent music videos, including Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines." All the while, Allen sings about the expectations placed on women in the music industry, in particular, the way women are expected to present themselves as sexual objects for the gratification of men, and no more. All of this is done in Allen's signature tongue-in-cheek manner.
But some viewers are not looking at Hard Out Here this way. Allen is being called racist for using black backup dancers, who are seen twerking and pouring champagne over their bodies. Some say that she is using these 4 women (out of 6 dancers) as props, for her own benefit.
I cannot speak to the race issue, but I would like to acknowledge the general role of a backup dancer, whatever his/her race. Backup dancers, if we want to get down to it, are in a sense props. They should not detract from the primary artist- the dancers are there to perform within the vision of the primary artist. Their role is similar to that of a company dancer in a ballet, or the chorus in a musical.
That said, the argument that these dancers are being used is troubling, because it belittles the career of a dancer. In this music video, the backup dancers make up part of the satire. We see one dancer slapping another dancer's butt and it jiggles in slow motion, mocking the senselessly "sexual" way women's bodies are used in male-driven pop music (and more specifically poking fun at Miley Cyrus's recent antics). All the while, we see a male executive showing the dancers how to twerk. Without backup dancers, half the message of the song would be lost.
And that's where I feel kind of sorry for Lily Allen. She is addressing the expectations of women in pop music, but her message is lost on some due to the specifics of her delivery. To expect Lily Allen to deliver the end-all-be-all feminist statement, one which is appealing to all women, is ludicrous. She is a twentysomething pop singer with plenty still to learn. But that should not mean that she cannot come out and express her frustrated view on sexism in the music industry. If feminism had rules and regulations on what to express and how, it would most certainly be exclusive of some women (and this is why many women don't consider themselves feminist).
I find danger in attacking another woman's expression of feminism. There needs to be room within feminism for differing views. There is room in feminism for all women, no matter race, religion, or class. Instead of picking apart one another's expressions of feminism, we should be encouraging one another to speak out. Lily Allen got one thing right: she got us all talking about feminism.

I've seen all the speculation on Twitter/Facebook/Interwebs about the horrible possible fates that could have befallen me and I would like to say that none of them, NONE, are true.
The truth is that, not unlike the lives of other world-famous bloggers, things have been quite busy around here lately and, unlike other world-famous bloggers, blogging fell so far off my radar that the use of sonar and then fracking was suggested as a means to locate it.
Well, the installation of my new backyard and Lovely Wife's new flower garden is complete, various household repairs are done, Eldest Son is now Eldest Son w/ First Daughter-in-Law accessory, and the chore of helping a friend liquidate his massive game collection (486 games) is slowly progressing (143 sold) along.
What does that mean for you? Well, I will be picking back up on reviews of Jonah Hex V2 and also chiming in on All Star Western from time to time. I hope to be back on once a week schedule with comics and possibly something life/gaming related (no politics, plenty of other places for you to read that stuff) but I will also be shoe-horning in Part-Time job, Travel for Work, and the BoardGameGeek Convention as well.
Thanks for sticking around and I will dive back in next week. Until then....

Road Kill
By Drew Morton | Underappreciated Gems | August 7, 2009 |
By Drew Morton | Underappreciated Gems | August 7, 2009 |
The saturation of advertising for the new Steve Zahn/Milla Jovovich/Timothy Olyphant thriller A Perfect Getaway (2009, up for release on today) encouraged me to reflect upon the career of Steve Zahn. Zahn has spent the past ten years in the role of the comedic sidekick, bringing moments of sparkling comic relief to That Thing You Do! (1996), Happy, Texas (1999), Saving Silverman (2001) and, one of my favorite movies of all time, Out of Sight (1998). Zahn is undoubtedly capable of dramatic range, as his amazing performance as a captive soldier in Werner Herzog's Rescue Dawn (2007) exemplified, but he seems to have become a victim of typecasting. While this can be interpreted as a disappointing waste of talent, Zahn can be so effective as comic relief that, in the case of John Dahl's Joy Ride (2001), he makes the movie.
The plot of Joy Ride, scripted by Clay Tarver and the man who has made geeks cool once again, J.J. Abrams ("Lost," Star Trek), builds on a conceit that seems cloned from Steven Spielberg's Duel (1971): a homicidal maniac in a big-rig stalks three protagonists as they make their way across the American west. In this version, Lewis (Paul Walker) and his down and out brother Fuller (Zahn) are headed from Salt Lake City to Boulder on a trip to pick up Venna (Leelee Sobieski), Lewis' childhood friend for whom he has kept a romantic flame burning. En route, Fuller has a CB radio installed to pass the time. With Lewis mimicking a woman's voice, the two brothers prank another truck driver, Rusty Nail (voiced by Ted Levine), into believing he has a date with a female trucker known as Candy Cane. As you might have guessed, Rusty Nail isn't terribly happy when he realizes he's been punk'd. In fact, Nail becomes so enraged that he rips off the jawbone of a bystander and sets his rig on a collision course with Fuller, Lewis, and Venna.
Despite its similarities to Duel, the beauty of Joy Ride is that it is a generic hybrid: a comic-thriller. Of course, the bulk of the comedy is provided by Zahn, whose black sheep Fuller is given some best moments in the film. Take, for instance, a scene in which two drunken bar patrons are harassing Venna. Lewis, the chivalrous brother, believes the best method to disable the aggressive situation is to stand up to them. Fuller, a veteran of many a drunken brawl, approaches the confrontation a bit more pragmatically, simply taking her by the wrist and shouting, "Bitch, are you mouthing off again? I'm sorry man, it's just so hard to keep them in line now'a'days," getting the three of them out of the bar unscathed. The beauty of Abrams and Tarver's structure and Dahl's execution of it are that we're provided with a comedic scene, which serves as misdirection of tone, making the horror that much more potent when it does unexpectedly pop up.
This oscillation between comedy and terror is a quality that I find extremely rewarding in a thriller or horror film. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg utilized it nearly perfectly in Shaun of the Dead (2004). Hell, in most cases it's a technique that nearly always seems to pay off in spades (see, and I do mean see, Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell). I find it disappointing and somewhat insulting that so many filmmakers working in the horror genre today believe that blood, gore, or torture porn is the way to go. I admire some anatomically graphic horror films such as Neil Marshall's terrifying The Descent (2005), but Eli Roth and Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes remakes of Friday the 13th (2009) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) degrade both the spectator and the genre.
Of course, this technique wouldn't work if the film suffered from badly composed horror sequences. That, however, is not the case. In particular, I find the first encounter with Rusty Nail at the motel the most chilling. Rusty Nail arrives at the motel, hoping to find Candy Cane, and instead discovers an unsuspecting asshole that Fuller and Lewis have set up in the neighboring room. Dahl directs the scene entirely from Lewis and Fuller's point of view. We watch as the characters put their ears up against the wall, hoping to hear the confrontation, as Dahl places the horror onto the film's soundtrack. We struggle to hear the muffled exchange through the sound of the pouring rain and a ringing phone and, until the following morning, we remain uncertain of the consequences. Unfortunately, Fuller and Lewis did not suspect Rusty Nail's violent reaction to their prank, which didn't end well for their socially challenged neighbor.
Dahl relies on the film's soundtrack for the majority of the film's thrills. We never get a good look of Rusty Nail outside of his truck, which pushes us to imagine the worst when the only information we're given is Ted Levine's angry, raspy, voice. The bellowing of the truck's horn or Venna's screams, muffled by plastic wrap, are more emotionally and physically resonant than Marcus Nispel's tracking of the camera through a head wound in the Chainsaw Massacre remake. Now, I don't mean to imply that Joy Ride is a perfect film. The third-act jumps the shark in favor of conventionality when a character only alluded to becomes a bargaining chip. The ending ("it washes everything clean") still strikes me as a bit too convenient, bowing to executives hoping for a sequel rather than a rewarding conclusion. Finally, the chemistry between Leelee Sobieski and Paul Walker never seems to completely gel the way the brotherly love angle works between Walker and Zahn.
In the end, Joy Ride has one thing in common with director John Dahl's earlier films, particularly his superb neo-noirs Red Rock West (1992) and The Last Seduction (1994, featuring one of the genre's strongest femme fatales): it's premium pulp, on par with Tropicana orange juice. Admittedly, there are some plot missteps and not all the performers reign in their strongest performances. Yet, there's always Steve Zahn, making us laugh before we scream. Sounds like a great way to spend a Friday night to me!

|Carvela by Kurt Geiger Amelia Court Shoes
I was busy buying 2 other pairs of shoes in my local Kurt Geiger concession. I dared to have a browse whilst the sales assistant packed my shoes into their boxes and my gaze fell upon these furry wonders... Oh I am a sucker for pony hair! And at half price in the sale it was pretty much a done deal once she found my size in the stockroom.
These are the Amelia shoe from Carvela by Kurt Geiger and in my opinion, are the perfect high heel. Not too over the top high, or too bulky (which I often find with platformed heels) but sturdy enough that I won't go falling flat on my face! They are surprisingly comfortable to wear and walk in for that matter. The half inch platform at the front balances out the heel height nicely and provides some cushioning for the ball of the foot.
Carvela have done this design in various colours in the past and I think they also currently do these in a nude or black suede if you're looking for something a bit more conservative. Personally, I can't resist a bit of leopard print!
The Amelia shoes are still in stock (and still in the sale!) at various places online. I got mine from House of Fraser but they still have them in most sizes at John Lewis, Selfridges and kurtgeiger.com.
Wherever you go they all seem to be the same price of £59 so what are you waiting for?

Stone is an option for people that do not necessarily need a roof that holds up to heavy weather changes. If you live in a climate that is fairly mild and you want a certain roofing companies wichita ks, romantic roof look, then stone might be the right choice. Stone comes in several different colors and types. Slate is by far the most popular of all of the stone products.
One step up from the ceiling would be to check the attic. Not everyone can get to their attic so you may have to skip this step. But if you can easily get to your attic grab a good flashlight and give it a good inspection. If areas of insulation are matted or crumpled looking there is a good chance it has water damage. If the wood framing in the roof and attic floor is dark or discolored this is also a good indicator that water has gotten into your attic. But here again, you want to catch the problem before it gets this bad. Those dark stains in the wood might be mold and mildew growing inside your house. Definitely something you want to avoid.
Roof ventilation is recommended for every home. It may not be that big a deal for many people, but it is better to have one according to professional roofing contractors.
The roofing contractor Atlanta should be trustworthy and should give you best work in very reasonable rates. Rates and expenses matter a lot when you are starting the construction of your homes. A house construction can be costly for you if you do not work with good planning and management. Hire good Atlanta roofing companies and ask them to form a beautiful place for you to live. Roofing contractor Atlanta should be professional in their work and should be experienced in this field. Only then they can give you a better place where you can live comfortably without the danger of destruction of homes.
If you do not have any idea about the different types of roofing, read the internet and arm yourself with a little information. It will help you in choosing the right roof for your home. Seeking advice from the roofing company about the type of roof that is suitable for your home is advisable, but you should have a general idea too. Knowing a little about the different types of roofs will also help you to make your decision as to which roofing company to hire.
Well, there's is a big difference between some water leaking through the roof after a storm and several months of ignoring the issue. And when I say "big difference", I mean in thousands of dollars of damage. In the event that Mother Nature gets through your home's chief line of defense (roof), it's up to you to minimize further damage.

Anyways, we cleaned and played Wednesday trying to get this small house ready for a lot of people. We baked our pies Wednesday night too. 2 Pumpkins, 1 Apple, 1 Lemon Meringue Needless to say we had fun! Thursday we got up late...6:00am and Jessica put the turkey in and KJ made some cranberry tea in the crock pot. After that Jessica started all the other cooking. Mashed taters, yams (2 kinds) frog eyed salad, Deviled eggs, Stuffing(in the turkey) Ham, Turkey, gravy, relish tray, corn, and rolls (made by our friends). We had the elders, Bob, and a new family in our Branch over. We had to get a table from the church to hold everyone. By the time everyone went through, it didn't even look like we had touched most of the food! This was the Elders first of three dinners. Bob was tired by 2:00pm and we sent leftovers home. Haylee and Adam and Jack stayed until around6:00pm playing games. Jack is 2 1/2. We had so much fun! We then visited two widows of the branch with pie. Lastly we had the missionaries back over for pie that evening. It was such a fun and enjoyable day. It was great to be in our house, to talk to family and to be able to get to know the new family more.
Hope all your Thanksgiving days were as wonderful as ours! Can't wait for our next blog...as it seems I might actually get back into the swing of keeping in touch again!

- Size (large seamless widths available)
- Weight (light to heavy weight)
What Do You Use Muslin For?
With its light weight and cotton material, muslin is an ideal fabric across many applications. It's commonly used in theater (for set design—cycloramas, stage flats, backgrounds and props) and photography (as photography backdrops).
Here are a couple more uses for muslin fabric:
- Home décor
- Divider and accent curtains
- Draped ceiling and walls
