Hello! I'm Helen Little, Assistant Curator of Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life. Since the exhibition opened there have been some great reviews in the press, but I would also like to hear what you think
If you have visited the show, what was it like seeing these urban scenes and industrial landscapes in person? I'd love to hear what you think about Lowry's apocalyptic visions of the landscape or his connections to French Impressionism.
Have you been able to look afresh at his best known work or have you discovered Lowry for the first time? Let me know your views, stories and comments below.
I hope you enjoyed this exhibition of one of Britain's pre-eminent painters of modern life. You can read more about it on my Lowry blog, where you can also share your views.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts soon!
Really impressed by this exhibition. I've always enjoyed Lowry's work but never looked deeper into his life, his broader portfolio or his style. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the work I was seeing for the first time and, if I'm honest, it came as a surprise that his canvases were so small.
On a practical note, I would almost certainly have come earlier in the season if I'd known how busy it was going to be in the latter days. The footfall in the rooms was quite intense when I visited and that certainly detracted from the experience. Nevertheless, congratulations on delivering such a fab show.
I don't want to seem either petty or personal, but some people's comments are just plain stupid - and Sid Stace's comments are right up there with the most banal I've ever read. What exhibition did you actually go and see????? You should've kept your money - and your opinion.
Responding to John Beavis ... Thank you, John, for writing those few wise words. For weeks, I've been reading simply daft entries on this blog; but have been reluctant to comment, as nobody else seemed to be reacting to the inanities! You've persuaded me, John, to break my silence. What has irked me most has been the regular complaint that there were no portraits or seascapes in the exhibition. For pity's sake, the exhibition was advertised as "Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life". The clue's in the title: it was not a "retrospective". Then, there's the moan that his works are repetitive. What on earth is wrong with being single-minded - even obsessive? Yes - his palette was limited ... but so many artists have, like Lowry, achieved so much with limited palettes, or with repeated use of one or two favourite pigments. It comes down, I reckon, to a visual-art equivalent of that regular, and ridiculous, aberration of literary criticism - blaming Dickens for not being Dostoevsky. I was moved by Mr Lowry's paintings. I saw beauty and ugliness - both expressed with disarming simplicity. That's good enough for me - and this opportunity to see so many of these fine works was most welcome.
Congratulations John you have been both petty and personal. At least Sid has some opinions to post. Your ignorant and narrow minded comments are not appreciated, free speech is.
I have previously commented that the exhibition has some merit but is limited. I think Sid has every right to voice his opinion and it is you who should remain silent or voice an opinion of your own. Shame on you.
I couldn't add much to the many apposite comments already posted about the quality of this exhibition, but I have to congratulate whoever was responsible for the pre-downloadable iOS/Android app. This has been such an obviously idea for a long time.... I rarely hire the equipment at the door but would always buy the app in advance.
Wonderful exhibition! I visited several times and could probably now recite word for word "The day that father said he'd pay the rent" by George Formby's dad. I wonder what Lowry would make of all the fuss? He was a real treasure. I shall now have to make a pilgrimage UP NORTH to Salford to discover a little more about the great man.
After several forced postponements, I managed to see the wonderful Lowry show on its penultimate day. Being able to simply wander into even the most popular and heavily subscribed exhibitions at one's convenience is perhaps the greatest advantage of Tate membership; take note all you hesitant ponderers, it really is worth the small investment - and, like the RA, you never know who you may spot in the the members' room.
Back to the Lowry gig. Before adding my own insignificant thoughts, I skimmed through some of the earlier offerings and was pleased to see that LSL is still uniting and dividing opinion, as was the case during my visit: it was almost as interesting to hear the comments of my fellow viewers about them as to study the paintings themselves.
Would the single-minded LS have given a flying toss either way about what people thought of his work? I think not. Let those of us who admire it and feel enriched by it continue to enjoy that tingle of affection it generates in our collective being. And those with a slightly more vinegar view? Thank you at least for expressing it, thereby demonstrating that Lowry's work, like all significant art will, generates healthy intellectual friction long after its creation: will I be able to offer such an observation in forty years about some of the 'art' being spoon-fed to us at present? Absolutely not, for one ultimately inescapable reason: most of it is teeth-grinding tosh. The sooner this present generation of mindless fashion-followers wake up to that, thereby committing such tripe to oblivion, the better.
Did I mention that I am referring to so-called 'Brit Art?" No? Oh, bugger. Well, the cat's out of the bag now...
Phew. I love a good rant.
Bless you LSL, you could PAINT. You established your palette and your motifs in 1913 and, whilst ever ready to own up to, endorse and adopt the influence of others, you remained steadfast to those key elements of your work.
Awesome. It's unlikely we will ever see so many Lowry paintings together again during our lifetimes. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but to me Lowry is the greatest artist that ever lived. Neither photograph like nor impressionist, the paintings lie somewhere between the two that is uniquely Lowry.
"Coming from the Mill" is the quintessential Lowry painting. It epitomises everything that is Lowry: the classic mill town landscape, totally industrialised with textile mills, factories and smoking chimneys and Lowryesque figures scurrying about in the foreground.
The paintings tell a story whilst giving the viewer a social history of life in industrialised Britain during the first half of the twentieth century. Some depict accidents or tragedies that affected people at the time. "The Fever Van" is particularly poignant. Others reflect the general hardship of everyday life. Lowry was not judgemental, he just committed to art the realities if life. And there were also happier aspects to people's lives and these are illustrated by Lowry in paintings such as "VE Day", "Going to the Match", and "Saturday Afternoon", proving he was not just doom and gloom.
A fantastic exhibition, well presented and well organised. Really glad I came. Thank you Tate.
Hear, hear, Pete!
One of those exhibitions that will be remembered, and spoken about, for a long time to come.
Very much enjoyed the Lowry exhibition ! Perfectly sized, layout excellent plus informative texts in each room were just right, not too short not too long ! Only thing, as usual, too many people but then it was a Saturday and the day before the end of the exhibition, and I do realise you need affluence ... so this isn't a criticism just an observation. However, I do find these people with headphone-commentary should be told to be considerate of other people and not stand in front of a picture for a long time blocking other people's view !
I was disappointed that the exhibition did not include more of Lowry's paintings of non-industrial scenes. Lowry had regular holidays at Berwick-on-Tweed where he said his recreation was "drifting amongst all the back streets .. I can come across" and produced over 30 drawings and paintings of the Berwick area. There is a Lowry Trail around the town so that you see the pictures that Lowry painted at the very sites, including several of the sea and sands. This exhibition had only one picture of Berwick - the town hall. I therefore think that it did not fully reflect "the painting of modern life" since it did not cover the non-industrial scenes.
Really appreciated the thought and care that went into this exhibition. Finally, a blockbuster show curated with flair and intelligence. Loved the video excerpts (though could have done with more of Lowry actually painting), and the small selection of work by Valette and other French artists was perfectly done. Might also have been interesting to compare Lowry's technique and his fascination with white backgrounds with Turner's light effects. And the quotes - Richard Hoggart and others - were all thought-provoking. I would have liked to know more about Lowry's own views, eg the few paintings featuring dark, dominant churches suggested he didn't think too much of organised religion either. But a cracking show overall. Well done Tate Britain.
I really enjoyed the exhibition - my first one as a member - and blogged about it here afterwards http://ministract.com/blog/2013/10/20/lowry. The multi media guide was excellent. Many thanks. Next stop the Klee :)
I felt the chronological progression was an excellent way to present Lowry's work. My father ( and his father) had a pharmacy in Ordsall Lane, Salford so in the 1950's this was my neighbourhood. Lowry very successfully recreates the atmosphere of the mixture of industrial buildings, 2 up 2 down terraced housing and waste land ( probably from WWII) that I remember. I remember too the lack of shadows. Even on the sunniest day, it was not possible to be sunburnt in Manchester, the atmosphere was so polluted and the sky a leaden grey/yellow rather than blue. However, I don't remember the crowds ( apart from football at Old Trafford) and they had probably decreased in the 50s as employment patterns changed. Lowry has left us with a wonderful pictorial archive of the largely vanished world that was the end of the Industrial Revolution in the UK. It deserves to be permanently on show to remind future generations of the lives of the people who built industrial Britain.
BLOG: Lowry at Tate Britain
Hi there,
First a very general comment: Its tile: Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life title was a bit odd, Lowry and the Painting of the Industrial Revolution might have been more apt, or do you think it's still like this in the North!?
Also (and I may not have diligently read all the texts), I think some information on what his background was would have been interesting; he worked as a rent collector, but I presume his time in college was supported in some other way, by his family I imagine ... and who inspired him to go into art in the first place?
But I thought the show was very interesting and was impressed by many of the captions which took us behind or deeper into the various works, although my hackles were raised by the intro to the first room which talked about "a red London double-decker;" we had buses in Manchester you know, and they were red, my Dad drove them!
But this chimes in with the fact that Lowry was more widely recognised in Paris than London, are things really still the same? Is there still a London-centric view operating? I believe this was the first major London show of Lowry's work, and he's been dead nearly half a century! Still, the art world didn't even recognise the magnificence of Vincent van Gogh while he was alive ...
I would have liked to have more details on where the various scenes were, but I think most (like the paintings in the last room), were re-imagined rather than being actual places. A contemporary map of the region might have helped even Mancunians such as myself (well, Stockport actually!).
I was especially interested to see works by (mainly French) painters who had influenced Lowry more than I had realised.
Also of interest was the Room 5 Social life of Labour Britain, even if it showed Lowry up for being a Tory supporter! How could he be, when he saw the poverty first-hand and saw the impact that ill health had on the community, while he clearly recognised the attempts people made to improve their lives (look at the neat net curtains in nearly all his pictures!)?
The last room with larger scale later works was especially interesting to me. Here, I read, most of his landscapes were re-imaginings rather than actual scenes which, in a way, I feel lessens his works.
So although I enjoyed the show, my end feelings are more in line with Brian Sewell's than I like(!): Lowry was not a top-rank artist, but he did document a world which very few others even thought about. And his dogs are wonderful!
David R.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Lowry exhibition at the Tate. Have always loved his work, having come from industrial Lancashire, worn clogs as a child, and spent many hours in later years visiting exhibitions of Lowry's work. This must be the best! Well laid out, with many interesting video clips and original documents. A real taste of industrial scenes, and the landscapes and earlier works for which he is lesser known. I particularly enjoyed seeing the earlier influences on his work.
This was a superb exhibition. It deepened my understanding of the artist and placed in context some of my favourite paintings. Wanting to visit the exhibition pushed me in to Tate membership which I had been contemplating for a while. I look forward to Klee next.
Having prepared myself for the fact that Lowry's work would not leave one with a light heart, there was so very much "sameness", and it was almost overwhelming, a very long afternoon - I was beginning to feel like one of his factory workers. The exhibition was more a social statement of the time than a display of artistic creativity, and I can see that I am not alone in preferring to see a wider range of Lowry's talents. It's difficult to appreciate, never mind enjoy and reflect, an exhibition in such a crowded environment - perhaps better monitoring of the number of visitors allowed within the space could have afforded more enjoyment for everyone involved.
Hi. Though wonderful, I was privileged to be able to put the Paintings into rare context with regard to Lowry's portraits and pencil drawings, which I saw in the Lowry theatre, Salford the previous week. These were, as i understood from the excellent curated talk, only made available to the gallery there as a result of the Tate's requiring so many of the Salford gallery's paintings for this exhibition. The central Manchester gallery has some wonderful examples of his teacher's work. Very influenced by the impressionists, he nevertheless had a mastery of drawing with which he impressed, evidently, Lowry. This was not readily evident in your exhibition. none the less, a wonderful display. The landscapes portrayed Wales in a grim light, and were worth the visit alone. Congratulations to all concerned.
It was really interesting and fascinating to see how the paintings change with the times. The film clip showing his dog drawings was amusing. I didn't know about the influences on his work from the industrial north and other painters. Well worth the visit.
I found the exhibition quite overwhelming, so many stunning originals. I was particularly struck by the differences between the frames on the private pieces, plain and understated that were loaned to the exhibition and the gallery owned pieces, some were so elaborate. I especially loved St Simon's Church, such a dark, bleak piece and the frame in silver and black.
Didn't want to leave, however your book of the exhibition, showing all the art, is a wonderful reminder of my favourite artist.
I come from Mottram in Longdendale. I knew Mr Lowry. We all did. He was our pet. Somehow we recognized that he stood above us in his bearing and his talent. But he was ours.
He tried to disguise it with his drab appearance and his offhand manner. No grand carriages for him. He travelled with other workers from the city and the Hyde cotton mills, clambering over his matchstick men on the 4-abreast upstairs seats on the 125.
But his apparently stony heart went out to one girl from the village, whose artistic talent he recognized and encouraged. And Pat Gerrard Cooke returned the kindness, supporting him in his later years and taking him to explore the North East, Ireland and North Wales. Sadly, apart from one of his earlier paintings of Berwick, the exhibition did not show her work, or his, in these places.
And unlike her, he did not explore the potential of Mottram, whose setting high above the Etherow valley and Glossop Dale can match that of many Italian hill towns. But he said that he was not happy there. But he stayed nevertheless. And perhaps lived longer, through being above the Manchester smogs.
And I was one of his matchstick men. I worked in two cotton mills. In one I was a can-tenter, looking after 17 carding machines. In another, I shipped out crates of cones to Corahs of Leicester and hampers of fine count mule-spun cops to Elton Cop in Bury.
I returned to that mill the following year. But I declined a job. - Smashing the wonderful machinery of Mather and Platt, Dobson and Barlow and Casablancas High Draft. And breaking the hearts of their former minders.
So much has gone. Wrapped in a shroud of white cotton born in blackened air and that blackened land. A fabric that could only be shown in the black and white pictures of the time.
It could have been left like that. But Manchester was home to cotton finishers who could bring that dull material back to life with new designs and the use of colour. Just like Mr Lowry.
So our frail memories are supported now by his lasting, colourful and often terrible visions, as bleak as Van Gogh's final cornfields.
And above his home in Mottram, the heather and the wimberries of Hobson Moor and the cotton grass of the wilderness of Featherbed have not passed away.
But Mr Lowry and his combers and his piecers, his mule spinners, cop packers, cone-winders, his overlookers and his ring-doffers have gone. To wilder flowers than those.
Wonderful and impressive collection of Lowry paintings. Really liked the seaside and funfair paintings.
I really enjoyed this exhibition. It was well laid out and was easy to get around. It was great seeing a wide variety of his paintings and what he learnt from as well. However, there were a lot of paintings and not so much of actual information on Lowry. It was also quite crowded, but that was understandable. All in all, I thought it was a great experience and I would definitely do something like this again.

Eagles on St. Vrain Creek put flood repairs on bridge on hold
BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. — This story isn't about which comes first, the eagles or the eggs, but it is about how eagles making eggs come before fixing the bridge which was washed out during the September Floods.
"We were slated to begin fixing the road and putting in a new bridge as soon as weather allowed," said Kristine Obendorf with Boulder Transportation.
"But state and federal regulations related to Bald Eagles prohibit any human encroachment within a ½ mile radius between October 15 through July 31, meaning we won't be able to begin construction until August 1."
While the Bald Eagle is no longer on the endangered list, it is still illegal to kill them.
As the symbol of our nation it is hoped no one ever will again.
Bald Eagles almost became extinct through hunting and pesticide use. In 1963 there were just 417 of the birds in the nation. More than $574 million was spent on the eagles' recovery through 2007, the year the numbers reached about 10,000 mating pairs in the Lower 48. They were then taken off the endangered list.
No names have been given the eagle pair now calling St. Vrain Creek home, but with any luck the crying of eaglets should begin to be heard sometime this summer. This nest has been used successfully for the past eight years by other eagle couples.
Once they get their 'wings' the eaglets will leave the nest and begin the circle of life all over again. When this all happens, bridge work will begin on County Line Road, just south of Colorado 119.

Kansas Increases Minimum PD Liability Limits, Requires Future Studies
The Governor recently approved H.B. 2446, increasing the required minimum motor vehicle insurance liability limit for property damage. Effective January 1, 2017, every policy of motor vehicle liability insurance issued or renewed in Kansas must contain stated limits of liability, exclusive of interest and costs, not less than $25,000 because of harm to or destruction of property of others in any one accident.
This new law also requires, beginning in 2026 and not less than every 10 years afterwards, a legislative interim study committee to study the issue whether the minimum per person-per accident limits of liability for bodily injury or death should be adjusted.

Data Breach Damage—is it covered by the traditional CGL policy?
Insurers and insureds alike often assume damages from a data breach are covered by commercial general liability ("CGL") insurance. However, just last year, a claim for CGL coverage for data breach was rejected in the high profile case of Zurich American Ins. Co. v. Sony Corp. of Am., et al. (Index No. 651982/2011) (N.Y. Sup. Ct., Feb 21, 2014). Furthermore, insurance companies are responding to CGL cyber breach claims with sweeping exclusions and instead offering more narrowly focused insurance products, which are relatively new and remain untested by courts and litigants.
Community Service: Little Free Library Build Out Day
As part of her involvement in AIA Kansas City's Pillars Leadership Program, Wallace Saunders Associate Leilani Leighton participated in the Little Free Library Build Out Day on May 27, 2015.

Rick Merker Celebrates 45 Years
This past year Rick Merker celebrated his 45th year at Wallace Saunders. He took time to reflect on his 45 years at the firm ~ a career that began as a law clerk the second semester of his first year of law school. Rick's introduction to the legal field occurred much earlier, however. At age 18, while in undergraduate school, Rick took his first job in the legal field as a runner for a downtown law firm for $1.10 an hour to help his family financially after his father had passed away. The same sense of dedication, integrity, and passion has remained the hallmark of Rick's practice at Wallace Saunders.

The Idaho State Police produce a report to help law enforcement identify any trends of crime increase or decrease within the area. The newest report shows a decrease in crimes against people and property. However, it also shows a 20% increase in narcotics and paraphernalia.
LPD Chief Steve Orr said that increase is a product of the recent push to crack down on drugs and make successful arrests within Lewiston.
"What our goal is to at some point have those numbers decrease," said Chief Orr. "But we have the problem, the narcotics problem and we will continue to focus on that. The more attention and focus we put on it. Obviously the more arrest and the more investigations we will have."
Another area that saw a decrease was the number of DUI arrests. Last year, 194 people were arrested for driving under the influence, down from 229 the year before.

Doctor insights on:
Acetaminophen Shelf Life
Is there a shelf life on acetaminophen?
Yes!: All medications have a "shelf life" or expiration date. ...Read more
Acetaminophen (Definition)
Acetaminophen (tylenol) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory which is a ...Read more
Could one become allergic to acetaminophen randomly in their life?
Possible: Acetaminophen allergy while possible is distinctly unusual. ...Read more
Had a breast augmentation on Wed (Jan 7).
Was prescribed hydrocodne/acetaminophen 7.5/325mg, Valium 5mg, and Promethazine 25mg.
I did not realize until tonight (January 11th) having drinks with a friend that the half life of Valium is so long.
I last too
Finish the question: The drugs you are taking are standard post op. prescriptions for augmentations but you should not be using very much of the medicine by now. Ibuprofen (Advil etc.) should be sufficient. Get off the valium and all will settle down. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
If I take acetaminophen 500mg 1 or 2 times per day to manage pain is this safe?
OK: If no known liver disease and Acetaminophen appears to work for your pain it is probably one of the safest therapeutic options. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
How much acetaminophen is too much?
It depends: This is an important question. Too much Acetaminophen is dangerous. According to epocrates, a drug information program, most healthy adults can get up to about 1, 000 mg in 4 hrs, and 4, 000 mg (4 grams) per day safely. Children should get less, based on their age or weight. Read labels carefully, and ask your doctor or nurse if unsure. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Is it ok to take acetaminophen everyday?
Yes but why?: Do you have some chronic discomfort that needs analysis. Acetaminophen will mask pain and given you comfort in moderate doses. But a chronic pain should be discussed with your family doctor so the cause, if present, can be more directly treated. ...Read more
What amount acetaminophen in a day?
Least amount...: ...necessary not to exceed 3000mg in a 24-hour period of time. Don't take it all at once either, because it won't be any more effective in mega-doses. Not the best pain med available over the counter, just useful for fevers. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Is 2, 000mg of acetaminophen in one dose too much?
Don't do it again: This won't hurt or kill you, but you do need to show this helpful drug the respect it deserves. It's important to space the doses out so that you don't get sick. Up to 4000 mg/day is fine but you don't want to take even this much all at once -- you might overload the enzyme that processes it by the normal pathway. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Can i overdose on acetaminophen?
Please do not.: If you are considering an overdose, please call 911 or your nearest emergency room. Do not harm yourself. You risk serious and irreversible damage to your body. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

This was just too much. Lerner's attorney offers this excuse as to why she's pleading the 5th:
Lerner 'has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation,' Taylor's letter read, 'but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course.'
He is asking the oversight committee to excuse Lerner from testifying, claiming that calling her in a congressional hearing would 'have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her' since members would not expect her to answer questions.
She's embarrassed to be questioned or embarrassed by her actions? Poor Lois. It's embarrassing and burdensome to tell the truth after you spend an inordinate amount of time targeting, embarrassing, harassing, and burdening groups of people because you don't like the color of their thoughts.
Why is she still employed? Why are the people she wronged being forced to suffer the indignity of having to pay her from their own pockets?

We've all felt it -- that humiliating awareness that people are staring at us because of a flaw in our appearance. Perhaps it's a pimple that feels like Mount Vesuvius, or a red and scaly rash. For most of us, the problem heals before long, and we blend right back in. But how do you handle it when the difference is permanent?
\ \ That's the subject of Connolly's remarkable memoir, Double Take, which chronicles his efforts to record, explain, and ultimately come to terms with the stares he has endured throughout his life. Connolly, you see, was born without legs. Entirely normal in every other way, he adapted to his condition by learning to move around by skateboard, which he found easier and more convenient than a wheelchair. Encouraged by his parents, he refused to let his condition slow him down, and by the time he was 23, he had won acclaim as a mono-ski competitor at the X Games and had traveled the globe.
\ \ Yet wherever he went, people stared, trying to figure out what had happened to him. Stung by their insensitivity, he began to take pictures of them as they stared. What started out as retaliation soon spurred deep self-reflection, as Connolly was forced to ask himself if he was allowing his condition to define him. After reading his story, you'll never look at a stranger the same way again. \ (Holiday 2009 Selection)

GameKing bullets are designed for hunting at long range, where their extra margin of performance can make the critical difference. GameKing bullets feature a boat tail design to bring hunters the ballistic advantage of match bullets. The streamlined tapered base of the boat tail bullet greatly reduces drag, which results in higher retained velocity, greater striking energy, a flatter trajectory and less wind drift than comparable flat base bullets.

Smile Like You Mean It
It's unfair to call Kate Nash the antiLily Allen, but "Foundations," the standout on Nash's debut, Made of Bricks, might just be the anti-"Smile." Allen's mocking schadenfreude on her own breakout hit gets steadily more poisonous because it's smeared with too much sunny, unproblematic, reggae-lite glossthe kind of song that queasily reveals more about its fans than they think. That kind of grudge-bearing might feel good from the inside, but Nash is mature enough to realize it's still pointless and petty. So instead, when she sings, "And I know that I should let go/But I can't," her own relationship woes hit a little harder: She admits her own faults as well, and leaves unspoken her reasons for still not being able to walk away. Furthermore, she's honest enough to give you lines that reproduce the kind of dumbness that swamps young people with crushes.
Much of Bricks emulates that single's sound, a mix of piano and orchestral flourishes and clattery drum-machine backings, which along with Nash's charmingly full, slightly wobbly voice makes for a surprisingly durable sound. Blaring horns on the lusty "Pumpkin Soup" provide a late-album rush, but mostly she's comfortable with mid-tempo story-songs and the occasional painfully open ballad"We Get On" and the later, more abject "Nicest Thing" sound about the same, and the candor ("I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile/And I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style") makes you wince for her a bit. But Bricks is consequently more bracing and rewarding than most young-love-lost albums. "Dickhead" certainly suggests that the relationships our host does manage to have aren't exactly satisfactory; so far, Nash's work has the tang of someone wondering if that great love everyone sings about will ever happen to her. She shares Allen's cynical realism (there are plenty of horrible people out there), but Nash is less narcissistic and shows a lot more potential, with a definite eye for the grist of volatile romance. For now, we can happily settle for a great single and a solid album, but when she does fall in love, the result might just be messily epochal.

William Holden
Jump to
Few Hollywood actors have conveyed spiritual and physical pain with the charismatic authority of William Holden. This scion of a wealthy family in the chemical business first registered in films as a clean-cut, affably handsome lead in the 1940s and he matured into more rough and tumble roles. Along the way his earnest qualities yielded to cynicism, perhaps most notably for writer-director Billy Wilder in "Sunset Boulevard" (1950) and in his Oscar-winning performance in "Stalag 17" (1953). Over the years, the rigors of life and drink re-sculpted his features into an expressive leather that gave testimony to the ravages of the moral ambiguity that had characterized many of his best roles. This quality may have been most eloquently expressed by his central performance as the desperado cowboy Pike in Sam Peckinpah's violent autumnal Western classic, "The Wild Bunch" (1969).

Property centrally located, close to beaches for swimming and windurfing, and local restaurants and shops. Frequent buses from June to September that stop at the entrance to the compound, just minutes away from Naxos Town, easy access to the picturesque interior of the island.
We had a lovely stay with Maroula at Kedros Villas. The location is perfect, between beaches and the town, if you have a car, which we did, provided by the villas. We also really loved breakfast provided by the pool every morning. It was always fresh and abundant. Local products at their best. Another added bonus, which was unexpected was a light maid service everyday. The villa was not large, but really ample for the four of us, two teenage girls and my husband and I. It was so pretty and clean. Nothing negative to say at all.

The Flow Fuse-GT Snowboard Bindings are quickly gaining popularity for their easy functionality and superior all-mountain performance. Slightly softer than the NX2's, the Fuse-GT's are designed to have more play, which is why the entire Flow team relies on them for urban shoots, rail jams, and kicker lapping. Flow s speedy rear-entry bindings have Active Strap Technology to further simplify strapping in by expanding off of the boot when you kick the hi-backs down. With their Aluminum Alloy Modback and Glass-Filled Nylon Rockered Baseplate, you'll have all the flex you need to add some flavor to your grinds. You'll be right at home in the Flow Fuse-GT Snowboard Bindings.
Responsive & Lively A stiff flex for aggressive riders who need turning precision, control and ample response in all conditions.
Glass-Filled Nylon Rockered Baseplate Optimally transfers energy to your board's edges while improving the tip to tail flex. Slightly softer and more forgiving than Flow's stiffest NX2 baseplate, the Fuse series is great for riders who prefer the feel of a molded base.
BankBeds with OC-Kush Impact Inserts BankBeds are full-length EVA-footbeds with 2.5 degree canting for optimized fit, support and energy transfer. Featured on the NX2, Fuse, and ISIS series.
Fusion PowerStrap Features a 3D shaped strap that fuses the ankle and toe zones together over the midfoot. Padded for a super comfortable form-fit to your boot. The Fusion PowerStrap provides maximum support and energy transmission.
Active Strap Technology The PowerStrap actively opens up and tightens down with the use of the Reclining Hiback. This reduces friction and creates more room, so getting in & out is faster and easier than ever.
Locking Slap Ratchet LSR buckles give you the option to easily get in and out of your bindings any which way you like. Whether SpeedEntry or DualEntry, they lock down to secure your preferred foot strap tightness.
ModBack Hiback with Aluminum Alloy Heelcup The modular hibacks separate the lower and upper zones for targeted strength, support, and flex where you need it. On the NX2, Fuse, and ISIS series, the lower zone also automatically triggers N.A.S.T.Y.
Nylon offset (5 mm) multi-disk for 4x4, 3HP & channel-M6

Comments about Flow Fuse-GT Snowboard Bindings 2016:
So far I have used these a dozen times or so. After reading reviews around the web I was a little worried. I have heard about them popping open while riding, and being uncomfortable. I made sure to take the time to properly fit them before going out on the mountain and I couldn't be happier. Never been more comfortable in a binding than these. Plus I get more time to ride as I can usually snap in on the lift and just ride away without having to stop. It seems all the complaints and bad rap they have gotten over the years have been fixed.
Comments about Flow Fuse-GT Snowboard Bindings 2016:

Comments about Flow Fuse-GT Snowboard Bindings 2016:
I bought these on a end of season sale. I put them on my board and they fit great. However i haven't actually tried them. It seems like they will be spectacular when winter comes though.
Comments about Flow Fuse-GT Snowboard Bindings 2016:
There are a few things I don't care for as compared to the NX's.
That is the foot pads are one piece and require a bit more finesse also the screw appear to rust.
Outside of that they work great and look freakin amazing!
Comments about Flow Fuse-GT Snowboard Bindings 2016:
These bindings are great easy to get in n out, the lack of toe strap doesn't matter there's tons on grip on your foot! Worth the money

Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak announced Friday morning he's abandoning one of his most controversial plans ahead of an expected spring election.
At a speech to the Toronto Region Board of Trade, Hudak says if elected, he would not move ahead with right-to-work legislation. Hudak's plan would have allowed employees to opt out of paying union dues.
Hudak's support for the plan has been criticized by some for months.
The PC leader told the crowd that while some people are in favour, most are not.
"If we are elected we are not going to do it," Hudak said.
Both the Liberals and the NDP don't believe the issue is completely off the table, underlining that it's very likely that, if elected, Hudak would start up a right-to-work conversation again.
The head of one of Canada's largest unions also doesn't believe Hudak will stay true to his word about keeping right-to-work legislation off the table.Unifor President Jerry Dias says the Progressive Conservative leader is dishonest.Dias reveals Friday morning's announcement doesn't surprise him. He believes the only reason why Hudak is not making this a priority is because the issue divided his party and he needed support. It also pushed away a major part of Hudak's base - businesses. He says union members are nervous because they believe this announcement is an election ploy. Dias calls Hudak a right-wing extremist who is turning people off with his policies.

Dutch Tighten Import Measures After Latvia Swine Fever Outbreak
The Netherlands tightened cleaning requirements for trucks transporting livestock from Latvia, after the Baltic country reported cases of classical swine fever in domestic pigs.
The European Union has implemented a ban on transport of pigs in the affected region, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs wrote in a statement on its website today. Trucks unloading livestock from Latvia will be required to cleaned and disinfected at a certified facility, it said.
Latvia found the hog disease in pigs on three farms since Nov. 23, after detecting the virus in the organs of two wild boars on Nov. 16, according to a notification two days ago to the World Organisation for Animal Health.
