The New York correspondents who got the LA 'get.' Andrea Canning, Jeff Rossen and Charlie Sheen
James Goldston, welcome to the morning show booking wars.
On his first day as EP of "Good Morning America" the show got scooped by cross-town rival NBC News. Here's how it all went down.
ABC's Andrea Canning got an interview with troubled actor Charlie Sheen at his LA home on Saturday. Canning paved the way for an interview by exchanging texts with Sheen last week about what led to the shut-down of his hit CBS show "Two and a Half Men." And not long after crews packed up their gear, ABC began promoting the interview as part of a Tuesday night "20/20″ special with excerpts airing today and tomorrow on GMA.
But by that time, NBC News correspondent Jeff Rossen was on his way to Los Angeles with hopes of getting an interview with the CBS star. The Sheen folks agreed to an interview Sunday morning and by Sunday afternoon, Rossen was at his front door. The NBC News PR department went into high gear calling their sit-down Sheen's "first television interview since his contentious public comments against CBS and "Two and a Half Men" co-creator Chuck Lorre." Which isn't accurate since ABC's interview was 24 hours before of NBC's.
Anyway, we wondered if this is a story of two highly competitive, rival network correspondents. It's not so much.

Patrick Timothy McHenry (born October 22, 1975) is the U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 10th congressional district. He is a member of the Republican Party. He previously was a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives for a single term. The district is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and includes Hickory, Morganton, Lincolnton, Shelby, and part of Gastonia.
Early life, education and career[edit]
McHenry was born in Gastonia, North Carolina. He grew up in suburban Gastonia, North Carolina, the son of the owner of the Dixie Lawn Care Company,[1] and attended Ashbrook High School. While at Ashbrook High School, McHenry participated in the Close Up Washington civic education programs. A Roman Catholic, McHenry was the youngest of five children. His parents are now deceased.
Halfway through North Carolina State University, McHenry transferred to Belmont Abbey College.[1] At Belmont, McHenry founded the school's College Republican chapter,[1] then became chair of the North Carolina Federation of College Republicans and served as treasurer for the College Republican National Committee.
His first run for public office was for the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1998, while still a junior in college; he won the primary but lost in the general election. The Democratic winner was the father of a high school classmate.
After earning a B.A. in history in 1999, McHenry worked for the media consulting firm DCI/New Media, in Washington, D.C. He was involved in Rick Lazio's campaign against Hillary Clinton during the November 2000 United States Senate election in New York; his main project was running a Web site, NotHillary.com.[1] In 2012, he received an Honorary M.B.A. in Entrepreneurship from Yorktown University.[2]
Early political career[edit]
In mid-2000, McHenry was hired by Karl Rove to be the National Coalition Director for George W. Bush's successful 2000 presidential campaign.[1] In late 2000 and early 2001, he was a volunteer coordinator for Bush's inaugural committee. After working for six months in 2001 as a special assistant to Elaine Chao, the United States Secretary of Labor in Washington, D.C., McHenry returned to North Carolina and ran again for the state legislature, winning in the November 2002 general election.
A resident of Cherryville, North Carolina, McHenry represented the state's 109th House district, including constituents in Gaston County, for the 2003–2004 session. While in the legislature, he sat on the House Appropriations Committee.
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
Committee assignments[edit]
At age 33, McHenry was the youngest member of the 110th United States Congress; however, 27-year-old Aaron Schock of Illinois took office in the 111th United States Congress in January 2009.[dated info]
McHenry serves on two House Committees: Financial Services, and Oversight and Government Reform. McHenry holds two House Republican leadership positions; he is a Deputy Whip and Vice Chairman of Finance for the National Republican Congressional Committee's Executive Committee.[3]
Since 2011, McHenry has been Chairman of the Subcommittee on TARP, Financial Services, and Bailouts of Private and Public Programs on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. In this capacity he has held hearings on municipal bankruptcies and bailouts and the future of TARP.
In the 109th Congress, McHenry authored legislation which would increase the penalty for anyone who manufactured methamphetamine in the presence of a child. The legislation, H.R. 1616, was incorporated into legislation which passed the House and Senate.[4][5] It was signed into law as part of the Patriot Act reauthorization in March, 2006.[6]
In the 110th Congress, in the Committee on Financial Services, McHenry worked with Rep. Al Green (D-TX) on legislation requiring mortgage lenders to simplify their mortgage disclosure forms for home buyers.[7] Their Mortgage Disclosure Simplification Act was integrated into H.R. 3915, the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act of 2007, comprehensive housing reform legislation passed by the House. It awaits action by the Senate.[8][dated info]
In 2008, McHenry opposed H.R. 5767, the Payment Systems Protection Act (a bill that sought to place a moratorium on enforcement of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act while the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve defined "unlawful Internet gambling").
McHenry was honored by the North Carolina Chapters of the American Legion and Marine Corps League after assisting in bringing a Veteran's Community Based Outpatient Clinic to Hickory, a project his predecessor Cass Ballenger had begun before his retirement.[9]
After the passing of Senator Jesse Helms, McHenry sponsored a resolution (H.Res. 608) honoring Helms's life and service.[10] Every member of the North Carolina delegation co-sponsored his resolution, and it was passed by the House of Representatives by unanimous consent.
McHenry authored the Independence Prize Act of 2007 (H.R. 2867), which would authorize a prize of up to $1 billion to an American company or individual who invented a transformative source of energy to replace fossil fuels.[11] McHenry also co-sponsored numerous pieces of legislation designed to open drilling for oil in the outer continental shelf and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as well as increased use of nuclear and clean coal energy.[12][broken citation][13]
On March 2, 2010, McHenry proposed new legislation, H.R. 4705, that would redesign the face of the $50 bill to include the likeness of the 40th President, Ronald Reagan.
The House passed two bills sponsored by Congressman McHenry in 2011. The first terminated the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). The second was the Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act, commonly referred to as Crowdfunding and was introduced to foster relationships between investors and entrepreneurs. Specifically, it permits crowdfunding issuances that offer an equity stake (securities) to investors. In 2012, McHenry's Entrepreneur Access to Capital bill was integrated into the larger JOBS Act (H.R. 3606), which was passed by the House on March 8, 2012. The bill was also passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Obama on April 5, 2012.
"Two-bit" security guard comment[edit]
McHenry stirred further controversy with his remarks on April 1, 2008, regarding a trip to Iraq. Speaking to 150 Republicans attending the Lincoln County GOP Dinner, he called a contractor — reported first by blogs as a "U.S. soldier"[14] — performing security duties in Iraq as "a two-bit security guard" because the contractor denied McHenry access to a gym.
We spent the night in the Green Zone, in the poolhouse of one of Saddam's palaces. A little weird, I got to be honest with you. But I felt safe. And so in the morning, I got up early — not that I make this a great habit — but I went to the gym because I just couldn't sleep and everything else. Well, sure enough, the guard wouldn't let me in. Said I didn't have the correct credentials. It's 5:00 in the morning. I haven't had sleep. I was not very happy with this two bit security guard. So you know, I said, "I want to see your supervisor." Thirty minutes later, the supervisor wasn't happy with me, they escort me back to my room. It happens. I guess I didn't need to work out anyway.[15][16]
He later apologized, saying "[i]t was a poor choice of words."[17]
Baghdad video[edit]
McHenry was also the subject of discussion regarding a video, posted on his Congressional campaign website, that featured him in the Green Zone in Baghdad, pointing out landmarks and destruction after missile attacks. Veteran's affairs blog VetVoice posted a scathing attack, claiming that McHenry's video violated OPSEC, Operational Security.[18] McHenry later removed the video after discussing the information with the Pentagon, which requested McHenry not place the video back online.[19] Lance Sigmon, McHenry's opponent, later went on to call a press conference to demand an investigation regarding the full nature of the video's effect on Green Zone Troops.[20][broken citation] Sigmon attacked McHenry in a campaign ad regarding this controversy, prompting McHenry to threaten legal action, claiming the ad was false.[21]
Use of PAC funds[edit]
On April 16, 2008, Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call revealed that McHenry used funds from his PAC, "More Conservatives", to fund the defense of former aide Michael Aaron Lay's voter fraud charges incurred during McHenry's 2004 race.[22] McHenry gave Lay $20,000 to pay legal bills on voter fraud charges brought while Lay worked for him.[23] These expenses were labeled as "Legal Expense Donation", according to FEC reports. Lay agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement, which stipulated he complete 100 hours of community service and pay $240.50 in court fees and $250.00 in community service fees to have the charges dismissed.[citation needed] Lay, an employee of the 2004 campaign, lived in McHenry's home in Cherryville which also served as the campaign headquarters during the 2004 election, was indicted for voter fraud in McHenry's election, allegedly voted illegally in two separate instances.[24] McHenry, in response, claimed the case was part of a "three-year smear campaign" by District Attorney Locke Bell,[25] despite Locke Bell fund raising for McHenry in previous elections.[26][broken citation]
Countrywide donations[edit]
McHenry has also been called out by the Center for Responsive Politics' Capital Eye, who found evidence that McHenry had been taking money from Countrywide Financial, a company now involved in the subprime mortgage crisis.[27] McHenry took $5,500 from Countrywide's PAC, and served in an investigation into CEO payout fraud, of which one of the target companies was Countrywide Financial itself.
Elizabeth Warren[edit]
On May 24, 2011, Elizabeth Warren—appointed by President Obama to oversee the development of the new U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)—attended a House subcommittee meeting chaired by McHenry, who invited her because he felt she had given misleading testimony during another hearing. Earlier that day, McHenry had appeared on CNBC and accused Warren of lying to Congress about her involvement in government inquiries into mortgage servicing.[28]
The meeting had several late and last minute changes, so Warren altered her schedule to accommodate the chair's request. Around 2:15 pm, McHenry called for a temporary recess to partake in a floor vote. In response, Warren indicated that McHenry's staff had agreed to the 2:15 pm closing time to allow her ample time to attend another meeting. McHenry replied, "You had no agreement. ... You're making this up, Ms. Warren. This is not the case." As Warren and some in the audience reacted with surprise, Rep. Elijah Cummings interjected, "Mr. Chairman ... I'm trying to be cordial here, but you just accused the lady of lying. I think you need to clear this up with your staff."[29]
Although the CFPB confirmed the agreement, McHenry refused to apologize for his remarks to Warren.[30]
The Hickory Daily Record, the largest paper in McHenry's district, called for McHenry to apologize, saying that it was "unacceptable for any member of Congress, especially a subcommittee chairman," to treat a witness in the manner with which he treated Warren.[31]
Political campaigns[edit]
In 2004, after one term in the North Carolina General Assembly, McHenry successfully ran for Congress in the 10th Congressional district, which had come open when nine-term incumbent Cass Ballenger retired. McHenry faced a heavily contested primary in the 10th and bested his closest opponent, Catawba County Sheriff David Huffman, in a primary runoff by only 85 votes.
In the general election, McHenry won 64% of the popular vote, defeating Democrat Anne Fischer. However, it was generally thought McHenry's victory in the primary runoff was tantamount to election in November: his district is considered North Carolina's most Republican district, having sent Republicans to represent it since 1963.
In the 2006 election, McHenry defeated Democrat Richard Carsner, gaining almost 62% of the vote on the way to a second term representing the 10th District.
In 2008, McHenry defeated Lance Sigmon in the Republican primary, winning 67% of the vote, and faced Democrat Daniel Johnson in the general election. Johnson was considered the strongest and best-funded Democrat to run in the district in over 20 years. In part because of this, the Cook Political Report moved the race from "Safe Republican" to "Likely Republican." This meant that in Charlie Cook's opinion, while McHenry still had a considerable advantage, a victory by Johnson could not be ruled out. Shortly after the Cook Political Report's update, Stuart Rothenberg of the Rothenberg Political Report, also a nonpartisan analysis of American politics and elections, addressed the race and indicated his opinion that an upset is unlikely.[32] McHenry won the 2008 election, 57.56% to 42.44%.[33]
McHenry easily defeated Democratic challenger Jeff Gregory.
McHenry easily defeated Republican Primary challengers Ken Fortenberry and Don Peterson in May 2012 with 73% of the vote in the redrawn 10th District.

LOS ANGELES -- Anze Kopitar scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and Jonathan Quick made 27 saves in the Los Angeles Kings' 2-1 preseason victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.
Justin Williams had a power-play goal and an assist for the Kings, who beat their Southern California rivals twice in the preseason.
Hampus Lindholm scored a power-play goal and Viktor Fasth stopped 31 shots for the Ducks.
Kopitar put the Kings ahead on a give-and-go with Dwight King, chipping the puck past Fasth for his second preseason goal. Los Angeles is hoping for a bounce-back season from Kopitar, who led the Kings in scoring last year despite the lowest goals-per-game and shots-per-game averages of his career.
Willie Mitchell played his second preseason game for the Kings in his comeback from two serious knee surgeries. The veteran defenceman missed all of last season.
Lindholm scored his third goal of an impressive preseason just 6:09 in. The 19-year-old Swedish defenceman was the sixth overall pick by the Ducks in 2012.
Williams scored on a power play late in the second period, rattling a shot into the cage behind Fasth after a pass from Alec Martinez.

Posted: 1:22 a.m. Thursday, March 24, 2011
By Jamie Dupree
The political story surrounding U.S. military attacks on Libya will get a bit more juice today, as President Obama is now back at the White House after a trip to Central and South America.
While the White House schedule today does not include any public events for Mr. Obama, there is a meeting set for this afternoon with his national security team "to review our efforts in Libya."
That effort continues to draw fire from Republicans in the Congress, who say the President needs to better lay out what the goal is for the U.S.
"I and many other members of the House of Representatives are troubled that U.S. military resources were committed to war without clearly defining for the American people, the Congress, and our troops what the mission in Libya is and what America's role is in achieving that mission," said Speaker John Boehner in a letter sent to the White House on Wednesday.
"It is my hope that you will provide the American people and Congress a clear and robust assessment of the scope, objective, and purpose of our mission in Libya," Boehner added, as he laid out a series of questions for the White House.
As of yesterday, White House officials were telling reporters on Air Force One that Mr. Obama was not considering a speech to the nation about Libya at this point in time, as officials sternly defended the President's decision.
"I think, first of all, it's very important to point out that, in the first instance, this intervention was taking place to prevent an imminent humanitarian catastrophe, a potential massacre of thousands if not tens of thousands of people," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Carney again said the U.S. was ready to hand off control of this operation soon.
"I think this is going to be a matter of days in which you see a movement towards a transition with regard to command and control," he added.
Those kind of explanations weren't satisfying critics in both parties, some of whom accused the President of committing a Constitutional Offense.
"I can only conclude that your order to United States Armed Forces to attack the nation of Libya on March 19, 2011 is in direct violation of the War Powers Resolution and constitutes a usurpation of Constitutional powers," said Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA).
While Congress is not in session this week, Republicans are already prepping for hearings on the Libyan mission, as the House Foreign Affairs Committee will hold one next Wednesday.
On the other side of the coin, more liberal groups were bombarding supporters with emails that blasted the idea of U.S. military action as well, saying it was time to tell Congress, "Not one dime for Libya."

What the Krell?!?
Todd Eichenbaum, design engineer at Krell, walked me through the design of their new amplifier, the $10,500, 300Wpc 302. The power supply employs a 3kVA toroidal transformer, built-in power conditioning, a current-mirror input stage, a push-pull driver stage, and low negative feedback (8dB) around the output stage. It was paired with the $10,000 Evolution 222 stereo preamplifier.

In 2006 Abbi Lathrop '06 was the NCAA Division I champion in the giant slalom event held in Steamboat Springs, Colo. This past season Colby finished 16th in the country, with two Nordic men and two alpine men qualifying for the NCAA Division I Championships. Both the Nordic and alpine teams have had success at the national level, and three former alpine skiers were skiing on the U.S. National Ski Team in 2007. Nordic skier Fred Bailey '07 is continuing his training at Maine Winter Sports Center in Presque Isle, Maine, as he chases the Olympic dream.
Since 1948, when the old Colby ski hill was put to use, Colby skiing has developed into a successful Division I varsity program. The ski program has two full-time coaches, two assistant coaches, a ski room, and 10 kilometers of groomed ski trails on campus.

Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in your joint, causing the inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack. Urate crystals can form when you have high levels of uric acid in your blood. Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines — substances that are found naturally in your body, as well as in certain foods, such as organ meats, anchovies, herring, asparagus and mushrooms.
Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much uric acid or your kidneys excrete too little uric acid. When this happens, uric acid can build up, forming sharp, needle-like urate crystals in a joint or surrounding tissue that cause pain, inflammation and swelling.

Parfit Gentil Knights
Chivalry is a word that nearly everyone knows and uses, but what does it mean? We associate it with a code of conduct that places help for others, especially for the weak, the helpless, and those in distress, before self-advantage. Yet this is not all. The word derives from the horse, le cheval, and from those who once fought on horseback, la chevalerie—not, however, from the cavalrymen of professional armies, but from the medieval chevalier, the knight, whose skill in mounted combat, whether displayed in the tournament or on the battlefield, not only distinguished him from those who fought on foot, but whose ability to provide his own expensive war-horse and armor, to say nothing of remounts and spares, meant that he came from the upper strata of society, where wealth and status depended mainly on estates in land. Such landed gentry took pride in their ancestry, came to exhibit that pride in heraldic display, and placed their personal and family honor among the things they valued most. Nor, during the Middle Ages, could religious considerations be excluded. We hear of aspirants to knighthood keeping night-long vigil over their arms in church, and receiving their sword from the altar.
All this forms part of the idea of chivalry, but is this all? How do the parts relate to one another? How did they come to be fused together into a single whole? Such questions are clearly and authoritatively answered in the splendid book under review. Maurice Keen explains the emergence of a social group, of the ideal standards of conduct which members of that group came to honor and sometimes, in part, to observe. He considers the expression of those standards in poetry, prose, and quasi-theatrical performance. Much information about the subject appears in Chaucer's classic account of a "verray, parfit, gentil knight" and of the social stratum to which he belonged, the knight-errantry that led him to fight for the faith in distant lands, the code of the chivalry that he loved: "trouthe and honour, fredom and curteisye."
Keen's book is the work of a scholar whose analysis and explanations are firmly based, as his notes and bibliography show, on a very wide range of medieval sources, and on the work that modern scholars have published in books and journals from about a century ago until 1983. Both medieval and modern materials are drawn from many parts of Europe. The author has the gift, rare among the erudite, of making his subject intelligible and interesting to the lay, as well as to the academic, reader. His long experience as a lecturer at Oxford and as history tutor of Balliol has developed in him unusual powers of lucid exposition, to which the elegant simplicity of his language makes an essential contribution. There is no trace in his book of the repellent jargon with which all too many university researchers make their work obscure to the uninitiated. He wears his learning lightly, and his achievement is all the …

MONTREAL -- The surging Montreal Canadiens earned a day off on Wednesday following a fifth consecutive victory that propelled them to the top of the NHL's Eastern Conference standings.
The break came after the Canadiens defeated the New York Rangers 3-1 in the Big Apple on Tuesday night to win five straight for the first time in nearly two years.
Up next for Montreal, which has 23 points after 16 games, are home games against the New York Islanders on Thursday and the Rangers on Saturday.
The two contests at the Bell Centre could prove crucial come the end of the 48-game season because the Canadiens begin a stretch of 11 games out of 15 on the road on Monday.
One pleasant surprise for the Canadiens has been the robust play of Brandon Prust, who signed a four-year deal worth $10 million last summer.
It is not clear whether rookie winger Brendan Gallagher will return to action this week. He suffered a concussion against the Philadelphia Flyers last Saturday and has missed the Habs' last two games.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

An XML document contains data tagged in XML. This means that the tagging respects the syntax of well-formed XML. Good names for the tags allow a human reader to more easily understand the information contained in the XML document. The tags preferrably describe the content of the data.
For example a text string like 'Scriabin' does not say much to most people. But if an XML document identifies it as an element <name> Scriabin </name>, then you know that a name is encoded. And if we see the following code snippet:
it is clear that this is the name of a composer. By applying these tags to mark raw data a text string is converted to a piece of information -- the name of a composer.
We would like to present this piece of information on the screen in a user friendly format, without tags so that it is easy to read. We can do this by developing and writing a program, called a stylesheet .
A style sheet is a file containing a set of instructions on how the elements of an XML document should be formatted and presented. Here we look at a specific language for styles named -- Cascading Style Sheets -- abbreviated CSS. This language can be used to describe how you want the contents of an XML document to be presented in a browser. Let us expand our XML code snippet a bit to serve as an example.
This code could be part of a CD online catalog. We would like now to present this information to a customer:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Violinkoncert Nr.3 G-dur
Berliner Philharmoniker
Herbert von Karajan
Anne-Sophie Mutter
Styling with CSS
A stylesheet in CSS consists of one or more rules . A rule in CSS must be well formed. It must observe the special syntax governing CSS. Every rule defines how one or more elements in a related XML document should be presented. Figure 3 gives an example:
The first element in a rule indicated the selector . A selector specifies the name of the element in the XML document which is to be formatted, in this case 'composer'. The contents of the rule, the instructions on what to do with the item is enclosed in curly brackets - an opening one { and a closing one }. This content is also called a declaration block as it consists of one or more declarations or - perhaps more informative - with instructions how to format the XML element.
An declaration (or instruction) in a rule consists of an attribute and a value . Attribute and value are separated by a colon and the entire instruction is terminated by a semicolon.
With the attribute you specify the type of formatting you want to achieve and the value indicates how the formatting will be implemented. For the rule above this means
1: display : block;
insert line breaks before and after the element's contents
2: font-weight : bold;
put the content in bold face
3: font-size: 16pt;
set the font size to 16
With this rule we get in other words that the name of the composer of should be put in bold with a line break before and after the text. Please note that the rule usually applies to the entire contents of the element composer, so we need no rule for the name element there..
One can in a selector also list several elements which must be formatted the same way, as indicated in the next rule:
This rule will format the content of elements orchestra, conductor, soloist from the instructions specified in the declaration block: there must be a line break in before and after each element and the content of all elements must be written with a font size of 12, just as in the example above. Note that we do not need to specify that the elements are placed in the element construction.
There are many ways to vary your presentation. One among several is to specify a particular color of the font. Another version of the first rule:
will result in the name of the composer written in red letters, and an extension of the second rule
will cause the text in the listed items appear in blue text.
CSS is an efficient language that is reasonably easy to work with. It does have certain disadvantages that you should be aware of. If you want to know more about CSS, you can have a look at the specification: www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1. This is for the first level, there is a second one and the third is being worked on.
Linking XML and CSS
For XML and CSS to work together, you must put a link from the XML document to the style sheet. Then the browser can interpret the formatting rules of the style sheet and apply them to the XML document. The little example describing a CD is then
As shown, a prologue has been added in which we (1) declare the version of XML used and the encoding to be used, and (2) create a link to the style sheet to be used:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="cd_katalog.css"?>
The CSS file is a text file which is indicated by the 'type' attribute. We indicate the path and the name of the file . In this case, the XML document and the CSS style sheet are in the same folder. If we click on the XML document it is opened in the default browser and gives the following result
Further reading
If you like to know more about the different forms of applying styles with CSS and how to use CSS with HTML, you might want to read www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/Style (basic introduction), www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning (commented links), How to add style to XML or the short XML tutorial in the CSS2.1 specification.

Damon Dash To Open Art Galleries In South Carolina & Hong Kong
Damon Dash announces plans to launch a pair of art galleries to expand DD 172.
Damon Dash has announced plans to open galleries in South Carolina and Hong Kong.
The move comes after Dame opened Poppington Art Gallery in Manhattan in September.
"South Carolina is the New York of the South…with beaches…I like the town and there is a strong undiscovered artistic community from music to art," said Dash to AllHipHop.
The galleries will be part of Dame's DD 172 organization, and will "support the creation and distribution of works by artists, musicians, filmmakers and other creative types."
"We will be bringing artist that we show in our New York gallery to the South and artists that we show in the South to the New York gallery," added Dame. "It's like a franchise. Next is Hong Kong."

Last night was my first night at the Scala, I'd heard so much about it growing up in the UK. I went to see a youtube rapper.
The sound system is pretty awesome and there's a sound/ lighting team pitched right in the middle of the hall in a massive cage!
Not sure what its like on a normal club night but I think id like to check it out sometime for sure.more
I love Scala for the same reason I love first dates: there's buzz when the doors first open, mystery around every corner, you're essentially in the dark and everything looks so damn sexy in low lighting... until you get frisked, which happens far too often in both cases.
There's expensive booze, strange overpowering smells, and what could first be conceived as an illusion of smoke and...more

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth celebrates 10th anniversary of building designed by Tadao Ando
Mark Bradford, Kingdom Day, 2010. Mixed media collage on canvas, 4 parts: 120 x 120 inches, each. Collection of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Museum Purchase.
December 2012 is the 10th anniversary of the
Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
s building designed by Tadao Ando. The Modern marks the anniversary with a series of new acquisitions on view this fall and winter.
Director Marla Price comments, These are exciting additions to the Moderns permanent collection. We are acquiring work by important new artists in several cases and increasing our holdings of works by Vernon Fisher, Dan Flavin, Howard Hodgkin, Sol LeWitt, Bruce Nauman, and Nicholas Nixon.
Among the acquisitions is a rare early wall drawing by Sol LeWitt (19282007), one of the pioneers of conceptual and minimal art. This is the third work by LeWitt to become part of the permanent collection. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, LeWitt began drawing lines directly on the walls of buildings, an action that radically transformed the role and definition of drawing in contemporary art. These drawings now exist as a set of signed instructions written by the artist, which are then executed by museum or gallery technicians. Wall Drawing #50A, 1970, consists of hundreds of hand-drawn lines in colored pencil (red, yellow, and blue) stretching across a large wall, overlapping each other, and measuring approximately 11-by-16 feet. From a distance the accumulation of these lines creates a large, foggy plane of color, but a closer look reveals a delicate web of intricately rendered lines.
Another important addition to the Museums significant holdings in minimal art is a Dan Flavin (19331996) light sculpture, Untitled (for you Leo, in long respect and affection) 4, 1978, recently purchased at auction from the late Los Angeles collector Max Palevsky (19242010). Made of yellow and blue fluorescent light fixtures, the work is installed across the corner of a wall. This work was dedicated by Flavin to Leo Castelli, the famous contemporary art dealer from New York. The work is a classic example of Flavins talent for blending different colored lights to create a continually active and vibrant space. The blue and yellow tubes of light create various shades of green that emanate from the corner of the room. The Museums permanent collection also includes Flavins Diagonal of May 25, 1963, a white fluorescent light acquired in 2002.
A monumental painting by artist Mark Bradford (b. 1961), Los Angeles, has also been unveiled as part of the celebration, the first in the Moderns collection. Crafting semi-abstract paintings from fragments of the urban environmentbillboard paper, posters, newsprint, and street debrisBradfords works are layered with multiple materials and meanings. An African American who grew up in south-central Los Angeles, the artists richly textured collages merge his fascination of the personal space of painting with the sprawling, continually changing street facades of the city and the particular political and racial tensions that still exist there.
The Moderns newly acquired painting is titled Kingdom Day, 2010, and is one of Bradfords most ambitious works to date, consisting of four 10-by-10-foot canvases. An homage to the Kingdom Day Parade in Los Angeles, which takes place every January on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the work specifically refers to the 1992 parade, the same year four policemen were tried and acquitted for beating Rodney King, inciting riots throughout Los Angeles. The painting, which on first take appears almost abstract, presents an ambiguous and turbulent image. Various colored banners and words are obscured by a field of gestures that resemble sparks from an explosion. At the same time, the painting suggests a topographical read: a satellite view of the Southern California coast covered by violent atmospheric static.
Other new works debuted between September and December include a monumental charcoal drawing by artist Robyn ONeil (b. 1977), Los Angeles, entitled These Final Hours Embrace At Last; This Is Our Ending, This Is Our Past, 2007. This nearly 14-foot-wide drawing depicts a vast ocean with a small figure that hangs over it by a thread. ONeils spacious drawing is contrasted with a small but potent recent painting entitled Ice, 200810, by Howard Hodgkin (b. 1932), which consists of an intensely blended bluish-white brushstroke advancing out of a reddish ground. ONeils drawing is the first of her work to enter the permanent collection, and Hodgkins work is the third painting to be acquired for the Modern.
A new video and sound installation by Bruce Nauman (b. 1941) has also been unveiled during this anniversary celebration. The work, Studio Mix, 2010, is inspired by a set of finger exercises that the composer Béla Bartók wrote for children learning the piano. A video image of Naumans hands enacting the possible combinations of the four fingers and thumb is suspended in a dark gallery accompanied by three sound elements: Naumans voice calling out the instructions for the different finger and thumb combinations; a piano played by artist Terry Allen and recorded in response to Naumans instructions; and Nauman intermittently speaking the words for children, for children. The Museums permanent collection also includes, Naumans Setting a Good Corner (Allegory & Metaphor), 2000, acquired in 2001.
In December, the 10th anniversary month of the opening of the new building, the Museum presents a significant, new installation by Jenny Holzer (b. 1950), her first to be acquired by the Museum. This special commission was unveiled at the gala on December 6. The artists signature, kinesthetic light-emitting diode (LED) signs, will deliver Holzers controversial texts in Ando blue, including many of her famous truisms: MONEY CREATES TASTE; YOUR OLDEST FEARS ARE YOUR WORST ONES; SLIPPING INTO MADNESS IS GOOD FOR COMPARISON; MOTHERS SHOULDNT MAKE TOO MANY SACRIFICES; LACK OF CHARISMA CAN BE FATAL.
Holzers glowing language travel down long channels that extend from one end of a central, large clerestory gallery to a glass wall at the edge of the pond, creating rivers of text that give the illusion of penetrating the water. This major work, among other surprises, gives the collection a new look for the next decade.

FAQs on actions
ASSEMBLY in brief 2010
With an unusually large number of contentious issues on the agenda, the 219th General Assembly (2010) — with the theme "Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38) — could have been a stormy crossing. Th at it wasn't is a tribute to the spirit of civility and unity that predominated among the 712 commissioners and 200 advisory delegates who diligently adhered to their commissions "to discern the mind of Christ."
They were also well-served by two calm and competent leaders — Moderator Cynthia Bolbach and Stated Clerk Gradye Parsons. While no Assembly produces consensus on many issues, the 219th General Assembly demonstrated Presbyterian governance at its best — elders, ministers and advisers worshiping, laughing, praying, singing, studying, debating and navigating potentially treacherous waters together to seek the best way forward for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

Welcome all to the 219th General Assembly (2010)
Several commissioners and advisory delegates have been invited to blog about their experience of the General Assembly.
Stated Clerk's Column: March 2014 - Practicing piety as a community
March 1, 2014 6 a.m.
The lectionary gospel text for Ash Wednesday this year is Matthew 6:1–6. The first verse of which is: "Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven."
This is an interesting verse to think about when you leave a worship space with ashes smeared on your head. What does the ash cross on our forehead say to others? I suppose that people who are Christians have some idea what it is about. Many times we forget that it is there and wonder why people are looking at our heads.
Stated Clerk's Column: February 2014 - Contemplating space and the local congregation
February 2, 2014 2:11 p.m.
Cold creates community. I drive past a bus stop every day. It is where two routes cross so there are usually several people gathered. Normally they are pretty good about respecting each other's space. The polar vortex has changed that. They have packed themselves into the little bus shelter like sardines for warmth and to avoid the wind.
You could probably make the same case for warm weather that sends us to the beach in droves, for opening day in baseball, and for fall foliage drives that become bumper-to-bumper. There is common interest like a stream heading in one direction, and before you know it the stream has created all kinds of communities of floating things.
Stated Clerk's Column: January 2013 - The future and a good night's sleep
January 1, 2014 8:32 p.m.
Abraham Lincoln said "The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time." I wonder if Abe would say that today with our high-speed high-definition world. To review the speed at which the first home computer became today's tablet does seem to reflect a future that shows up faster and faster. I also wonder if the president had the same patience for the news of the American Civil War ending. Everything I have read says he did not.
Food and Faith: Seeing the Work
December 4, 2013 12:03 p.m.
The shelter doesn't feel like a basement. It is painted a calming yellow, and there always seem to be fresh flowers around.

Good luck with that, MSM shills...We have it on good authority that Americans will basically *ignore* any actions by this *multiple* Federal-law-breaking-president by at least 8 to 1 margins...Pretty damn funny when a president who´s violated laws he ´didn´t approve of´ tells the rest of us how innocuous his 2nd Amendment trashing plans are...A bit disingenuous when ´mainstream media´ refuses to hold *him* accountable to US laws, but cheerleads his efforts to impose his penchant for violating law - AND rights.Of course, this would be the same media who refuses to address the *racial* component of gun violence statistics in the US...Never a dull moment...

New pic

Looks pretty good to me still...hopefully the actual product will look half that good.
Rubies will probably make the belt yellow, and make absolutely sure that it will not fit any adult over 5'5".
I *loathe* rubies...In fact Im kicking myself for buying those Jango Fett blasters.
I agree. I got the JF helmet and was prefectly pleased with the shape.. but the color was ALL wrong. So maybe it will look great, shape wise, but you might want to think about altering. Who knows, maybe all you'll need is leather dye.
Anyone gotten their mitts on this item yet?
Keep in mind, the helmet looked fantastic in the photo on EE.Quote:
Quote:Looks pretty good to me still...hopefully the actual product will look half that good.
The actual product looked nothing like what they had on their website!
Is it me or do the holsters look way too short?
I know the barrels on the blasters are shorter than the real ones, but those holsters look kinda small.
i had seen the one at C2 and it looked ok color wise...they didnt let me try it on so i really odnt know about length or size and being proportionate...it looked pretty good at C2 though...i got a better one though....he he he
Hey OPPI!
You can't just say you got a better one and not tell me where you got it and how much it was.
PM me please!
ahh i knew i would ruffle a feather with that one...
I actually really like the blasters, hell of alot better than hasbro's and cheaper than resin.
I just got my blasters the other day. They need some work but aren't that bad. There was a thread on how to modify them. That holster doesn't look bad either. We'll see.
Wll, I just got the rubies holster set. The color is nothing like the entertainment earth pic. There is also no buckle in the back, it is velcro. I guess I should know what to expect for 23 bucks. I am going to try to make it work though because I dont have the cashola for the good one.
Wow, where did you get it? Can you take some pics? And Im not totally sure, but i think a velcro closure is accurate, thats how the ammo belt is at least. And from what i can judge by the size of the blasters and the ones i have, the proportions seem to be pretty good, as far as size and length goes.
The real gun belt uses a buckle closure, but, you can't see it anyway since it is under the braided leather belt.
This is true. My belts are, in this order: gun belt (buckle on back), braided leather (velcro), ammo pouch (velcro).
I would realy like some pics of the holster, im prolly gonna depend on this one as well because of price. Could it be painted or at least used for templates?

The size looks alright here, that's an adult wearing it.
OK, heres a little description of the holsters I recieved. They are made from a hard latex? I think. If they had left the color alone, they would be alright. But in the wisdom that is rubys, some a$$hole thought it would be a good idea to brush some beige paint all over it for what I am assuming to be a more realistic look. As far as taking them apart to use for a template, I guess it is possible except the holster itself is one piece and most of the belts are glued. The size is for an adult
For a better pic try http://www.johnsonsmith.com/
Type in jango fett in the search
Hope this helps,
Is that where you bought yours?
Kylash, yes that is where i picked mine up. I actually bought the costume too! When it came I was so disgusted":puke" that I sent it back and told my wife I was going to make one for my son and I. I searched the web, found this oasis(tdh) and the rest is history.
Just ordered one, hopefully itll show up before i see one in stores.
Woudl it be possible to take a few pics for others to see who wanna see the real thing before the buy? Thanks
I am trying to figure out a way to post the pics for everyone.
It may take some time.
I just got the new rubies holster and it is made out of thick latex. What kind of paint can use so that it does not melt it? I tried spray primer on the back but it seems to have melted it and is still sticky and does not want to not want to fully cure.
Got through it with my own account url, just copied your member number.
Looks pretty **** nice for Rubies, though the folded lines from being in a package are kinda annoying.
Go to your local hobby shop and ask. There is a special kind of paint that you need to paint on latex, or it won't take. It's a latex based paint, it's the same kind you'd use if you were making prosthetics. I just can't remember what it is. But any decent hobby shop can tell you. Usually the smaller ones. The big chain shops usually employ anyone regardless of their knowledge, so they may not be able to help.
Thanks for getting the pics up for me!
No problem. Pics? I only see one
Oops, I meant pic.
Mine are on there way as we speak....... We'll see....
Those look actually pretty good, keep the holsters them selves and replace the belts with the real leather ones. That probably sounds easier then it is.... But....
MGR.... What is the silver metal thingee that attachs to the cod made from? Solid plastic, vacuformed pastic, or rubber laytex?
Mine are on the way as well
It is made from solid plastic. It is very similar to the silver I used on my arnor which was a matte silver. By the way, if you guys ordered from thing you never knew existed get ready fo a wait. They ship regular mail and it takes at least 7 days to Michigan.
Yeah, when i ordered it said 7-10 days, I expect that.
I am in the process of experimenting with different paints Ill let you guys know if I find something that works. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
Cool, I was thinking about that, cause it seems like thats a weird kinda vinyl, so not all paint would dry on that stuff. Let us know! Is it possible to take any closer pics?
Hi all, we(my brother and I) are new here,although we have been lurking around for quite awhile :D which has helped us with our costumes a lot so far(I'm doing ESB boba and my brother is making jango).
Anyways, i was wondering what the lengh/size was on the rubys holster.
Thanks in Advance.
:fettesb :jango
Mgr, Kylash,
If the holsters are really latex you can use acrylic paints with rubber cement diluted with zippo lighter fluid 1:1. I used this on a ****** freddy mask in High school and it looked great afterwards. You just need regular rubber cement and some zippo lighter fluid, make sure its says 100% Naptha on it. Now add 1 part lighter fluid to 1 part rubber cement, stir in some acrylic paint and mix it well. It should be enough to give it color or else it will crack. Now brush it on or an alternative is always an airbrush. That's what I used. It usually takes 5-6 hours to dry so dont wait till halloween to paint the holsters. YMMV, if they are made of some other type of rubber.
Bountyhunter 185,
When you write length and size, what are you refering to?
sorry about that,
what i was looking for was how long the belt was that goes around the waist.
:fettesb :jango
It is 49" tip to tip.
Thanks mgr, that helps a lot.
:fettesb :jango
Sounds like a highly flammable concoction to me. I'd refrain from smoking or any open flames while wearing it. :angryQuote:

Thanks alot for the info.
I have to recant(sp?) the latex statement (what the holster is made of). I think it is a thick vinyl. I think?
I got mine a few days ago.... They are OK by me, I'll replace the belts with real ones and redo the paint.....
I am very interested in seeing and hearing how that turns out!Quote:
Lynn TXP 0369 wrote:I got mine a few days ago.... They are OK by me, I'll replace the belts with real ones and redo the paint.....
As I'm sure everyone else here is.
So, when your done, post some pics and any comments on the process used.
Lynn, What kind of paint are you using?
I would only use a water based acrylic paint for them. That is what I plan on using on mine. If you use oil based paints on it, as most are, it most likey will not dry.
But then dont get caught in the rain...will all wash away?
Lynn,DM, thanks for the suggestions. Kylash, I was wondering the same thing. I am going to do a test. I will let you know how it turns out.
Thanks again,
"But then dont get caught in the rain...will all wash away?"
Uhmmmm....... I don't think so..... Once it is dry, it is permanate. Although it will wear off after awhile just like regular oil based paint does.
I have been using water based acrylic paints on viynl models for years and never had had a problem with paint washing off......
Well I just assumed that because it is WATER based that WATER would take it off... ^_^;
"Well I just assumed that because it is WATER based that WATER would take it off..."
Not once dry my friend.. ;)
I have been building viynl models for 12 years now and even the directions say that you can put larger modless in the shower to wash them off.
When your done painting I would give it a coat of testors dull or semi gloss clear to help protect it.
I took your advice, But instesd of testers I used Painters Touch clearcoat. It seems to be working fine!
Thanks a lot,
MGR.... I'm glad I was able to help. Now lets see some pics!!! ;P
Here is a pic of MGR's painted Rubies holsters.
Great job! It looks pretty good to me....
What color's did you use that looks great.What brand of paint also.
Im still looking for those darn things.
Thanks for posting the pic. I am very happy with the way they look.
The only place I have seen the holsters is online and in catalogs. As far as the paint type I'll get back with you on that. It was my wifes and I know she purchased it at Michaels Craft store.
Sweet, that looks great! Mine holsters should show up today or tomarrow. Mgr: that paint totally dried without being sticky at all? Was is spray or brush on paint?
Did you get the blasters with the holster?
Do you have to buy them seperately?
Do they have them as a set?
The paint is called Ceramcoat by Delta, the color is called candy bar.
I used a brush, I think if the holster gets a good scratch the paint might come off, but I have scratched it w/ my fingernail and none has come off yet. I would also assume that with time the paint bond will only get stronger. It was painted less than 24 hours ago.
The holster came w/ 2 guns. I know you can buy the guns separately, but I think the holster only coms with the guns.
I am waiting on my gauntlets. I still have to make my jet pack and back armor.
I can email pics if someone can post em.
PM your way

Holsters are on there way. thanks for the tip.
And if anyone is interested... I just finished my mold for my leather holsters, and am expecting to have alot of leather left over after finishing mine... Would anyone be interested in real leather ones?
Just got my holster today. I agree that yes, the majority of the belts need to be replaced, the thigh and waist ones for me. The thigh belts were too small and the waist belt is all warped out of shape. ALso, where the velcro is placed it's made for a 4 year old so I'm prolly gonna rip the velcro out and put in the little studs like thr real one...any idea where to get those brass studs?
The elusive brass studs... Sam Browne button washers.. Here's a link http://www.leatherfactory.com/cart/quikstore.pl
Yup, found em, thanks :)
Post pics when they are done so I can do mine!
I plan to :) I dont have the money or skill to work with leather so I'm using what I did my ammo pouches with. 79 cent sheets of colored brown foam that I weather up with scissors and make the edges all rough and it looks alot like leather. Not as strong, but I think it'll work for the strap that need replacing. All I'm using from the Rubies holsters are the holster parts themselves and the silver loop holder. I just used the rest as a pattern.
How do you plan to attach the holsters to the leather belts?
JediCostumer, I'd be interested in a pair of holsters. I PM'ed you!
Mgr, I plan to attach the foam holster straps to a leather belt using Goop. I used Goop to attach the holster parts from Rubies to the foam straps as well. I just need to get thr right color paint for the holster parts and a leather belt.
I might be relacing the belt on my holster,(I picked up 3 ladies belts at kmart for 9 bucks!)so I am wondering if goop will bond leather?
Dude, Goop will bond anything :D
We'll see. Doing a test tonight.
Yes, goop will. I used it to bond suede for my slave Leia boots to the shoes I used for them. Worked great!!!
I would like to make my own hosters and I saw that you have already done this. I have never worked with leather like this. How exactly do you make the holsters and have them keep their shape? I understand if you would rather not share you secret.
That is a great question Mirax. Who are you asking? I too am curious about how to make the holster portion. But I will be glueing with goop! The stuff has only been setting for 6 hours and it is not coming apart.
Thanks for the suggestion kylash.
No prob :) Anyone know of a certain kind of scissors that will cut leather? I cant get it to work ^_^; Thr foam sheets im using are good, but I might replace them with some real leather later if I can cut it.
When I made my ammo pouches I used some leather mag holders from an army surplus store.They were too big so I had to cut them down. I used a utility knife. It worked pretty well. You might try that.
Leather sheers for cutting leather... The Leather Factory has some nice all metal ones that go thru 8 oz. like warm butter. As for instructions on making the holsters... That may be more difficult. Some day when everything cools down around here I may try to put up a tutorial. It's fairly simple for an experienced leatherworker, but if you've never done it, it can be quite an undertaking. I'll get some pics up as soon as I finish mine; for those that are interested in purchasing a set.
I just took my holsters apart and was surprised at the ease of doing it. The glue they used blows. If you are leaving them as is, you may want to consider taking them apart and reglueing them with GOOP(thanks for the tip about Goop Kylash, It works excellent for holding the leather!)
Yeah I noticed that when I took mine apart for patterns, it was ****.
