Bryan & Tyler - CollegeDudes
Models: Bryan Cavallo and Tyler Sweet
Studio: College Dudes
Bryan is a towering figure, especially next to Tyler. Tyler stands up to Goliath, though, in this hot as hell fuck scene! Tyler and Bryan make out, and the hot and heavy kissing gets Tyler hard in an instant. He is the kind of guy who loves a big man next to him. Bryan goes right for Tyler's cock, sucking and licking on it like he is famished for a hot young freshman. Tyler soon has waited long enough, however, and he is next on his knees servicing Bryan's thick uncut dick. Tyler shows tremendous deep-throating skills, and he handles Bryan's dick with extra special skill. Bryan, loving the BJ, stands up and feeds his cock to Tyler some more. Itching to get some dick into Tyler's ass, Bryan pulls Tyler off his knees and positions him in doggie. After lubing up his big pole, Bryan goes right in. Pounding away, Bryan is in love with Tyler and his hot hole. Tyler wants to ride, though, and soon it is he who has taken control. He bounces up and down on Bryan's cock like a champ, going balls deep over and over. Bryan is getting close, so he puts Tyler on a small stool and grabs hold of Tyler's ankles. Fucking Tyler relentlessly, Bryan gives several deep strokes that are just enough to make Tyler bust a huge nut. Bryan is so excited he busts an even bigger load all over Tyler.

It looks like this celebrity is in need of a break! Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Tallulah Willis was spotted having quick cigarette fix while she was out and about in West Hollywood, Calif. on Monday afternoon.
To be honest with you, I didn't even recognize Tallulah when I first glanced at this pics. From what we're hearing, she and her sisters are still not talking to their famous mom, due to all the issues and instability that have been surrounding her lately. Hopefully they'll be able to work past their differences and be a family again, soon. Check out our photo gallery below and let us know what you think!

To continue the great herping in the spanish Mediterranean islands this year, I went to the Balearic for one month. About 15 days were spent on Menorca and then, 15 days on Mallorca. My main goal was to see the famous endemic species of both islands, of course, but including most subspecies of Podarcis lilfordi which lives on several small islets not so far from the coast. I didn't get enough time to visit Cabrera ; perhaps this will be done in a next trip.
To be completely self-sufficient on the place, I took my own car and a Mojito RTM, a small kayak which allowed me to reach each and every islet according to a suitable weather [= without too much wind = quite difficult]. In the end a fantastic experience, kayaking in the turquoise sea, snorkeling and finding some amazing isolated habitats for lizards. Probably my most exciting trip ever.
Nevertheless, it turned out to be very difficult to find all the snakes during a large part of this trip and I couldn't find any the first whole week. But stubborn, by lifting more than 1.200 stones (only for Menorca), I managed at last to find a few animals. The hot weather still sufferred in September-October - about 25-30°c - shouldn't be a bad argument for this relative lack of snakes : the very last day, when back on Menorca, temperature became much colder, especially in the night - about 10°c - and I could find 2 Macroprotodon within 2 hours.
But moreover, I lost a lot of time in hospitals, exhausted all along the trip by a very strong dental infection. Then, pain and tiredness piling up, I was a little bit lazy on Mallorca, focusing almost exclusively on Alytes muletensis and the Podarcis lilfordi subspecies.
Even if some species were impossible to find on Mallorca nor Menorca, I managed to find all species from both islands, except one : Testudo graeca graeca. But I didn't spend much time to look for as it's easier to find on mainland Spain.
NOTA BENE : To illustrate the variety and/or the behavior of specimens from each population of P. lilfordi, a huge number of my best pictures are presented on purpose in this report.
Many thanks to Bobby Bok, Marten Van Den Berg, Jeroen Speybroeck, Mike Zawadzki, Matt Wilson, Jean-Marc Moingeon, Alex Sala Gorön, The Marineland Zoo of Palma : Gloria Fernandez and Miguel Cantallops and the naturalist Félix de Pablo, met on Illa de l'Aire, who saved me a lot of efforts by bringing me back with his zodiac during a stormy sea day :)
The Balearic islands of Mallorca and Menorca
Podarcis lilfordi : visited islands (not in chronological order)
N.B : I specify the tendency of how shy are the Podarcis population on each island, please note it's only a personal feeling and at a given time/weather...
1 - Illa Del Rei, Podarcis lilfordi balearicus
Island very easy to reach by kayak. Lizards : shy.
2 - Illa de l'Aire, Podarcis lilfordi lilfordi

4 - Illa Dels Porros (= De Sanitja), Podarcis lilfordi fenni
Island difficult to reach by kayak, far away, need a calm sea to come. Lizards : most are very shy, staying in bushes or under stones, difficult to make good pictures there. I've been 2 times on that island as it became rainy and windy on my first attempt. Also Hemidactylus turcicus and Tarentola mauritanica here.
5 - Illa De Ses Sargantanes, Podarcis lilfordi sargantanae
Island easy to reach by kayak. Lizards : quite shy.
6 - Illa d'Es Porros, Podarcis lilfordi porrosicola
Island easy to reach by kayak. Lizards : quite shy, hidden.
7a - Illetes Des Carbó (Big), Podarcis lilfordi carbonerae
Island easy to reach by kayak. Lizards : not very shy but always moving, not easy to photograph.
Middleground, right : Illetes Des Carbó. Illa Petita and Gran d'Addaia at background
7b - Illetes Des Carbó (Small), Podarcis lilfordi carbonerae
Same but very few specimens live there. A juvenile was spotted.
Illot d'En Carbonet : I took a quick look there but I was unable to find any lizard. They are probably missing.
8 - Illa Gran d'Addaia, Podarcis lilfordi addayae
Island easy to reach by kayak. Lizards : not shy.
Lizard eating flowers and...
...lizard which ate flowers !
Hemidactylus turcicus spinalis endemic subspecies from Illa Gran d'Addaia
9 - Illa De Ses Mones, Podarcis lilfordi ssp. (undescribed subspecies)
Island very easy to reach on foot, without kayak. Lizards : very shy, only 3 specimens seen by luck in 2h, always hidden and too much vegetation on this island. Low density (?).
10 - Illa d'En Colom, Podarcis lilfordi brauni
Island easy to reach by kayak. Lizards : quite shy at a first look.
At Menorca, I also switched Illot d'En Mel, (Podarcis lilfordi of undescribed subspecies) this island being into a Natural Reserve, it's forbidden to go there without authorization.
Illot d'En Mel, Albufera de Grau (UNESCO World Heritage site)

Podarcis lilfordi : visited islands (not in chronological order)
1 - Illa De Sa Porrassa, Podarcis lilfordi fahrae (introd. population from Cabrera)
Island easy to reach by kayak. Lizards : shy and always hidden under bushes, discreet. Very difficult to make pictures. Low density. Also Tarentola mauritanica here.
2 - Illa Del Toro, Podarcis lilfordi toronis
Probably the most difficult island to reach by kayak... and the most difficult P. lilfordi to photograph ever : lizards are extremely shy, all the time hidden under bushes, even for basking, low density. I spent 7 hours on this island to get only a few pictures.
But there, I spotted too briefly an awesome Tarentola mauritanica of fluo yellow-orange color. Surely an albino specimen but unfortunately the animal disappeared quickly into a hole and was impossible to see afterwards !
Steep island...
3a - Illa Des Conills, Podarcis lilfordi hartmanni
Island easy to reach by kayak. Lizards : not shy.
Illa Es Malgrat (left) and Illa Des Conills (right)

Another steep island
3c - Illa Es Malgrat, North-East part (population almost isolated from the main island), Podarcis lilfordi hartmanni
4 - Illa Sa Dragonera, Podarcis lilfordi giglioli
The only island reached by boat. But it's possible to go there with a kayak on calm days without problem. Lizards : very tame, very high density but not everywhere.
5 - Part of the habour of Colònia Sant Jordi (not an island), Could be a mixed population between P. l. jordansi and P. l. kuligae ( Zawadzki Mike, Die Eidechse, Jg. 21, H. 2, S. 43-52, Bonn, 20. August 2010)
Lizards : extremely shy.
6 - Illa Na Guardis, Podarcis lilfordi jordansi
Island easy to reach by Kayak. Lizards : quite shy but tame with patience, often hidden under bushes. High density.
I met there some spanish biologists studying the population of P. lilfordi.
Marked specimen
Biologists about to go
7 - Illa Na Moltona, Podarcis lilfordi jordansi
Island easy to reach by kayak on calm days. Lizards : not very shy, often basking in open areas. High density.
8 - Illa Na Pelada, Podarcis lilfordi jordansi
Island easy to reach by kayak on calm days. Lizards : very shy and hard to photograph, taking quickly refuge into crevices. Low density.
Illa Na Pelada (left) as seen from Illa Na Moltona ; note Cabrera's coast far away
Love saliva...
9 - Illot d'En Curt, Podarcis lilfordi jordansi
Island easy to reach by kayak on calm days, but long way, I've done > 10 km kayaking to go there. But probably a possibility to go on foot without kayak. Lizards : not shy, easy to photograph.
Illa El Colomer, Podarcis lilfordi colomi : Not tried to reach this one, impossible by kayak and a very steep island...
Illa El Colomer...
Podarcis pityusensis pityusensis from Ses Illetes beach, surprisingly enough : very shy !
Hemidactylus turcicus turcicus from Santa Ponsa, species only common on the coast of Mallorca
Macroprotodon cucullatus baby from Cabo Blanco
Pelophylax perezi from Cuber lake
Bufo viridis balearicus from Mortitx
Alytes muletensis... Very difficult to find. Several known sites were visited, but all was dry everywhere after 3 months without any rain. The few downpours received during one night didn't help. I found only some tadpoles of that species in a water trough along with a single juvenile.
The beautiful Tramuntana mountains
Then I decided to make pictures of adults at the Marineland zoo of Palma, which breed that species for reintroduction. Unlike in the wild, the Alytes were calling (inside the cage) and a few males still carried some eggs.

My husband and I stayed for two nights at La Paz and both had an amazing time. We stayed in Mama's Room, which is in the main house. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were really soft. We appreciated the TV hidden behind a mirror so it didn't clash with the antique decor of the room. The bathroom was unique and similarly decorated, and the shower was quite roomy. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Anne and Paul are friendly and helpful hosts. We enjoyed chatting with them before and during breakfast in the morning and when we ran into each other around the property. We had a great time going out with Paul on the pontoon boat to explore the river, and we took advantage of the kayaks to explore on our own as well. Breakfast is served around one table, so we had the privilege of getting to know our fellow guests. The food was delicious. The homemade granola is some of the best I've had, and the crème brûlée french toast is every bit as decadent as it sounds. Since breakfast isn't until 8:30, it's nice that coffee is available earlier for us early risers. In addition to the dock and boats, we also appreciated the walking trails around the property that have some quirky decorative features which provided amusement and photo ops. The surrounding area has some good parks and hiking trails, but for those looking for great restaurants or nightlife Jasper offers very little. It's best to eat a great breakfast at La Paz and then relax and enjoy the forest and the river.
Wonderful property to escape for a few days. Rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast, awesome!
It was perfect! I wanted to surprise my husband with something out of our ordinary and had a little of what we both liked. I love older homes with history (check - plenty of that) and he loves seclusion and fishing (another check - plenty of that). We took advantage of the option of dinning in that evening and our B&B host (who is by the way a legit chef) cooked us one of the best meals my husband and I have eaten. We are still talking about that steak and tilapia! Definetly would recommend and am planning on going back myself!
I could not have been happier. This trip was planned so I could propose to my now fiancee and the weekend went perfectly. Brice suggested a private dinner for two the night we arrived and the food was exquisite. The house, the room, the grounds and the scenery were simply beautiful Brice went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, including a dozen roses at dinner for my fiancee. We will definitely be going back.
I was very happy to find that there was such a great place in East Texas for Weddings and Family Reunions. It is very well kept and I will continue to recommend it to everyone I know.
Easily the nicest B&B I've encountered. Secluded location, exceptional service, great food and an amazing historic house. Rodney and Julianne are gracious and share a wealth of interesting history about the house. We'll be back in the Spring to enjoy again in warmer weather. Visit the forestry museum in Lufkin to really understand the history of the area and this house. David
If you want a relaxing and quiet getaway, this is the place to stay. The inn is beatifully decorated, and the innkeepers are very gracious and hospitable. The food was absolutely amazing. We will definitely visit the Texas Forest Country Retreat if we are in the Piney Woods area again.
What a wonderful way to wrap up 2011 and greet 2012. We stayed in the Miss Ruby room. We roamed the ruins of the sawmill town of Manning, where my father-in-law was born and lived with his family until the sawmill burned. We had fabulous accommodations and delicious breakfasts. Our hosts, Judy and Rodney, saw to our every need. We had a bonus visit with Bob on Saturday morning. It was great to be able to hear and read some of the history of Manning and the sawmill days.
Myself and my wife booked this B&B at very short notice on 16th Dec. We arrived 2 hours later. Rodney (the proprietor) was there waiting for us and made us very welcome. We decided to stay in the Stephen F Austin room which was very charming and comfortable. The house is really beautiful, built in the early 1900's, very well restored and has lots of character. We woke up the next morning to a fantastic breakfast cooked by Rodney's wife, Judy. We had the best French toast ever. We didn't have to eat again until evening! Rodney and Judy sat with us while we ate breakfast. It was only at this stage that we learned we were actually staying in the only remaining house in the former sawmill town of Manning, which at one stage back in the 1920s had been home to approximately 1500 people. We didn't for one second consider this when we looked out our window in the morning and saw that there was nothing else around us!! We walked down to the old mill pond and to the ruins of the old saw mill. What started out as a very pleasant stay in a beautiful old house also turned into a very interesting history lesson. If you are interested in getting away to a lovely old house in very quiet, tranquil and historic surroundings, then you can't go wrong by staying here.
My husband just got back from a year long deployment in Afghanistan and I wanted to surprise him with a calm getaway and to keep everything going on in the world at bay. Texas Forest Country Retreat did all that and so much more. This B&B is one of the most beautiful places we've ever seen; charming, well-preserved, and absolutely stunning. Rodney and Judy were extremely hospitable, humble, and such great hosts. And holy French Toast! Indescribable. We have been many places and have very high standards when it comes to traveling. This experience was beyond what we were looking for. Thank you for making this the perfect retreat my husband deserved and for creating a special weekend after a very long year away.
This was one of the best places we have ever visited. If you want to "get away from it all", this is the place. If you want to discover some history about an almost forgotten town, this is the place. If you want to eat THE best French Toast that has ever been made, this is the place. We loved staying in the "mansion" and felt like we were home. I recommend a hike to the sawmill ruins and reading about the history of Manning while you visit. Rodney and Judy are the perfect hosts and really add to the visit here. Me and my wife loved talking with them and look forward to return trips. They even sent us home with some banana bread! How cool is that? This place is truly a jewel!
My wife and I stayed over the Labor Day weekend and we had a fantastic time! The retreat is in a beautiful part of east Texas that is very secluded and private, yet only about 20 minutes outside of the town of Lufkin, which has restaurants and stores. The owners, Judy and her husband, Rodney, were very helpful and extremely sweet throughout our stay. They were able to give us restaurant recommendations and recommendations on what to do in the area. The french toast served for breakfast is OUTSTANDING! It's the best I have ever had and you will be full until at least dinnertime, so bring your appetite. The house itself is very well restored and decorated, very clean, well kept and spacious. We were greeted with fresh iced tea, lemonade, pecan rolls and fried pies in the kitchen when we arrived. We stayed in the Whipporwill suite, which was very comfortable and had a private balcony overlooking the front yard. The bed itself was very comfortable and my wife and I were able to get 9 hours of sleep during the night, which we rarely get in the city! We would definitely recommend the Texas Forest Country Retreat to friends and can't wait until we can get back for a stay! Thanks again.

Capgemini promoting and using Drupal
Not sure be named an elephant is so great ;-). Drupal is a great framework, and is heading fast to the enterprise. We've been very happy with it in the past years, keep going!
Three big coups (Immediate platform, Royal Mail and CapGeminis Intranet) at the same time.
Wonderful news for the Drupal community. This will only help us grow even further.
What actually impresses me more is that the news about all these great news about big organisations adopting Drupal is that you, Dries, is so calm about it. You stick to your vision and ideas and keep working hard on them. A lot of people would have let it go to their heads and lose track, but you are clearly continuing with your strategy with both feats firmly positioned on mother earth.
Please keep doing what you are doing, it will only lead to more greatness for the Drupal ecosystem.
@Thomas: The KM 2.0 of Capgemini has been using Drupal since September 2007. See : http://kmworldblog.com/2008/09/from-collection-to-connection-yves-noble-...
This is a great development, but definitely, I have to agree with Denis. Capgemini has been involved and around Drupal for at least the last couple of years. I'm thinking the first time we talked to them had to be mid-to-late 2007.
The initiative is exciting, and I'm really excited to see Drupal getting more-and-more involved in Drupal — keep going Cap: we'll meet you half way as a community. :)
Actually Drupal in the corporate world is not new. I work for CGI and I'm doing Drupal all day long. Heck our own web site is done using Drupal. I just been to Drupal Camp Montreal and people there too were surprise we were doing Drupal. We're working hard inside to make a place for Drupal. For those who don't know about CGI head over there: http://www.cgi.com.
Great to hear that. I got selected in CapGemini Bangalore as a Drupal Developer. Very excited.

What if Mattingly jumped ship
With Frank McCourt continuing to star in "The Frank McCourt Show" as only he can, are there circumstances imaginable which would have Don Mattingly asking out of his Dodger contract?
Before we go any further, let me say that, yes, I understand this is how rumors get started (heaven help us if one of the Loose Cannons gets wind of this post), and I am not suggesting I have heard one peep on the matter. I'm just thinking aloud.
And isn't it possible that Mattingly, in his lonely old nights in the City of Dodgers, is doing some pondering too?
With the Dodgers back at .500 after a long hard climb, featuring a 35-21 record since July 20, eight series victories in their last nine, and a somewhat inspirational turnaround in all-around play, that Mattingly, if he hadn't been already, would wonder how he might parlay his relative good fortune into the actual variety?
The skipper faces McCourt-related uncertainly in the short-term, and maybe in the long, along with everyone else in the organization. Vice President of Communication Josh Rawitch has already found gainful employment elsewhere, God love him, and general manager Ned Colletti has been rumored as a possible replacement for the recently fired Cubs GM, Jim Hendry.
Assistant GM Kim Ng resigned her post in March for a gig with Major League Baseball, and let's not forget Joe Torre, who left on his own terms, also for MLB.
Mattingly's not going to bail just because of Frank McCourt, if I may use the term, "just." But he might give the New York Yankees another chance, ill-feelings of four years ago aside, should there be an opening.
The Bombers could, well, bomb in the playoffs, the early exit putting Joe Girardi's job further in jeopardy than it is just naturally. Or Girardi could jump to the Cubs when that job becomes available, as it most likely will in October. Or both.
One can argue that Mattingly's headaches will only increase in the Bronx, but he won't lack for booming bats and a huge payroll, that's for sure. His salary would increase substantially. And he's beloved in New York in a way that he could never be here, not without multiple Dodgers World Championships anyway. Maybe not even then.
So look, I'm not saying this is about to happen, but it is a possibility. Maybe it's best to prepare now.
Mattingly has grown on me over the course of the season, and I'd like to see what he can do with a normal owner and a better GM. But I'd be fine with Tim Wallach taking over too.

Happy Halloween!
It's not quite Halloween but we celebrated a bit early at our church party on Saturday night. Little miss loved getting her nose painted on (surprisingly!) and is in love with the real dog collar she got to wear.
Our Roger and Anita costumes weren't much to look at it, but they were easy!
And I'm all about easy:)
Maybe one day our little puppy will start trusting photographers…
Have fun tomorrow night! We're going trick-or-treating at the library. I think that will be just perfect for a 1 year old- can't wait!

This was the result of a convention of international experts in June 1986, in Montreal, Canada where it was determined that depletion of the ozone layer was occurring as a result of release of active chlorine from CFCs.

A New Zealand-born British lawmaker who organised a Nazi-themed stag party in France is to stand down at the next general election, he's announced.
MP Aidan Burley said he would not be seeking re-election in the May 2015 polls, following a "difficult time".
The 35-year-old was sacked as parliamentary private secretary to Britain's transport minister after newspapers published pictures of the boozy bash at a posh French ski resort in December 2011.
"After a difficult time I have decided to announce I will stand down at the next general election," he said in a statement.
Auckland-born Burley was a backbencher in Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative Party representing Cannock Chase, an electorate near Birmingham in central England.
"I will continue to work for the people of Cannock Chase until that election, and look forward to supporting my successor, as soon as he or she is selected, to ensure that Labour have no chance of re-taking this seat."
The constituency was held by Labour since its creation in 1997 but Burley won it in 2010, taking 40 per cent of the vote.
Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said Burley had a strong record in his seat and had served his constituents with dedication and commitment.
"I wish him the best of luck with whatever he does next," he said.
A Conservative disciplinary investigation found Burley had been "stupid and offensive" in organising the stag party, but was not a racist.
The inquiry concluded two years ago but the verdict was only released after legal proceedings in France concluded last month.
The groom, Mark Fournier, was fined the maximum 1,500 euros for wearing a Nazi uniform and insignia - outlawed in France - and ordered to pay a further 1,000 euros in a civil action.
British stag parties, held before a man gets married, are typically jovial, alcohol-soaked nights out, often with the groom-to-be in embarrassing fancy dress.
Burley, the best man, had purchased the costume. He argued it was in the British comic tradition of making fun out of the World War II enemy.
The Conservative investigation accepted that no formal complaints about the party were made during the night itself and that Fournier only made a Nazi-style salute "at the prompting" of a journalist who was there and broke the story.

Lawmakers propose to legalize marijuana
HONOLULU – Several key Hawaii lawmakers want to legalize marijuana in the Aloha State.
House Speaker Joseph Souki and House Majority Leader Scott Saiki, both Democrats, introduced a bill to legalize the possession of up to an ounce of marijuana by people aged 21 years or older.
Nine lawmakers have co-sponsored a similar bill in the state Senate. Yet another bill co-sponsored by 11 representatives is waiting to be introduced in the House.
The move comes in the wake of marijuana legalization in Colorado and Washington last year.
Sen. Kalani English, a Democrat who introduced the Senate bill, said he thinks the initiative has a good chance of passing the state Senate.
"We're at the same crossroads in the U.S. that we were at Prohibition," he said. "(Legalizing alcohol) didn't spell the end of society, and that's the same with this."
Despite his support for the initiative, Saiki said he doesn't think there's enough support for the bill in the House right now.
"I'm not holding my breath on whether this will pass or not," he said.
Regardless, Saiki said he thinks it is important to discuss the issue, which he calls a matter of individual choice, because it has evolved over time.
The senators who sponsored the bill to legalize the drug say that doing so will decrease crime rates and help Hawaii's economy.
They say that legalizing the substance is "natural, logical and reasonable" given current scientific research and public opinion.
Opponents, including House Minority Leader Rep. Aaron Ling Johanson, say the senators have it wrong. They believe legalization may increase crime.
"I'd rather exercise more caution than have to worry about controlling the extra societal costs," Johanson said.
Saiki acknowledged that there are "significant public safety concerns" associated with his proposal that led him to add quantity limits and other regulations to the measure.
Johanson says there are mixed feelings toward legalization in the minority caucus.
Medical marijuana is legal in Hawaii. The Legislature has considered bills to legalize the substance for recreational use in the past and faced opposition from the law enforcement community.
Michelle Yu, spokeswoman for the Honolulu Police Department, said that the agency is against legalizing marijuana. She said that the drug has a high potential for addiction and abuse.
Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney Keith Kaneshiro is also opposed to marijuana legalization.
The state Legislature will consider at least 18 bills related to marijuana this session.

Originally published in Current, June 7, 2004
By Jeremy Egner
When NBC and C-SPAN recently needed audio of John Kerry's 1971 speech to Congress, they obtained it from an unlikely source. Pacifica Radio was the only broadcaster with a pristine copy of the 2004 presidential candidate's indictment of the Vietnam War.
NBC's old copy had a lot of the inflammatory stuff edited out," says Brian DeShazor, Pacifica's archives director.
The incident demonstrated the usefulness of Pacifica's ongoing initiative to digitize and preserve its substantial audio archive in Los Angeles, which began in 2002. The collection of recordings, more than 45,000 tapes' worth, contains uncensored audio of some of the most notable artists, thinkers and newsmakers of the mid- to late 20th century, including significant but controversial figures such as Black Panther leader Huey Newton and Palestinian advocate Edward Said, who seldom spoke on mainstream media.
Pacifica netted approximately $345,000 for its preservation initiative, appealing to listeners for designated donations and winning preservation grants — two from the Recording Academy totaling $55,000 and two from the National Endowment for the Arts totaling $30,000.
Pacifica created a searchable website (www.pacificaradioarchives.org) dedicated to its archives in 2001 but officially inaugurated the preservation project with a national fundraising marathon in October 2002 that earned $180,000. A similar event last fall brought in $80,000.
The cash enabled Pacifica to obtain digital duplicators, but DeShazor says the most crucial step in the process was to create an identity for the archive. "It's a problem in all media," he says. "People assume archives are just old tapes in a box somewhere." By recasting archival material as living, culturally valuable content, Pacifica made a case for its continued support. In addition to the single-theme drives showcasing older recordings — such as an hour of environmental material or an hour of civil rights speeches — the radio network incorporated remarks by Malcolm X, Timothy Leary, Anais Nin, Bertrand Russell and others into regular fundraising broadcasts.
This year, Pacifica is giving affiliate stations a discount on archives compilations they can broadcast or use as donor premiums, DeShazor says. He hopes the move will raise the vault's profile among community radio listeners beyond the reach of the five Pacifica stations. "Somewhere in Kansas, they'll finally get to hear Malcolm X," he quips. With a revamped website to be launched next month, the archives will improve its online search mechanism and allow web visitors to read transcripts and buy copies of audio.
So far, Pacifica has digitized just 2,500 of roughly 45,000 documented tapes; DeShazor estimates that there are another 5,000 uncatalogued tapes in storage. For each, archivists create two CDs, an MP3 file digitized at 24 mbps for storage on a hard drive and a new reel-to-reel analog master because, as DeShazor notes, no one knows how long digital formats will last. "The life expectancy of digital is really precarious," he says.
Mylar tapes from the 1970s and 1980s are some of the most deteriorated recordings in the archive — in worse shape than older but more durable acetate tapes. DeShazor says Pacifica
Even as Pacifica works to demonstrate the value of old material to potential donors, it continues to discover its worth to listeners. For example, Defining Black Power, a 1996 doc featuring audio of Martin Luther King Jr., Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks and others, continues to be one of Pacifica's highest-pledging shows. The network also repackaged its raft of political convention recordings into a two-hour documentary hosted by Amy Goodman, A Passel of Pomp and a Circus of Circumstance. The doc will air on Democracy Now! July 15 and 16.
Then there are the archive's future holdings. As the Kerry speech demonstrated, broadcasters can't predict which of today's protesters will be tomorrow's presidential nominees.

Precisely because photography is thought to be the most objective of all mediums, it acquires over the course of years, and seemingly in spite of itself, a haunted quality that no other product of visual culture can claim to the same degree.

The man who, more than any other, gave visual expression to American life during the Great Depression was not a painter, but a photographer who originally wanted to be a writer. As surely as Aubrey Beardsley's graphic mastery defined London in the mauve nineties, Walker Evans's stark photographs remain the most powerful and enduring images of America in its time of greatest hardship.

Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun was the most sought-after portraitist of the ancien régime. A retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art rightly calls attention to her extraordinary talent rather than her gender.

The American Revolution has a hit on its hands with Hamilton, the hip-hop musical currently lighting up Broadway. "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story," the cast sings in its sly retooling of our republic as the story of Alexander Hamilton's rise through the imperial city of New York ("History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen/to be in the greatest city in the world...").

In one of his most famous works, the esteemed art historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner sought to define "The Englishness of English Art." If anyone were to under take a comparable inquiry into the Danishness of Danish art, the painter Vilhelm Hammershøi could well stand as the palmary embodiment of the thing in question. His small, reticent, manically controlled paintings achieve that prim order, that almost morbid inwardness, that foreigners, at least, are apt to associate with the land of Hamlet and Kierkegaard.

Editor's letter, September/October 2015
One afternoon not long after I began working here I opened a letter that asked me a challenging question: how, the writer wanted to know, "did a Polack [sic] like you get your position?" After a few jolly moments in the office I called our longtime editor Wendell Garrett, who enjoyed odd news from the passing scene. Wendell was amused, but he also reminded me that the magazine had been founded in the 1920s, the banner era of American xenophobia, and he reckoned some of that lingered in a few of its readers.
