Israeli farmers use FBI, CIA tech on vegetables
By SHARON UDASIN
Agricultural organization employing technologies to monitor pesticide presence in their vegetables.
An Israeli agricultural organization is employing the same advanced technologies to monitor pesticide presence in their vegetables as the FBI and CIA are using to prevent potential chemical terrorism in America.
Yofi Shel Yerakot ("Beauty of Vegetables"), an agricultural association based in Ein Yahav, is using these instruments prior to marketing vegetables in order to ensure that all peppers, eggplants, melons, watermelons and tomatoes are free of hazardous pesticides before making it to the market. The equipment enables the identification of hundreds of different pesticides in a single test, with the ability to pinpoint tiny dangerous particles hidden within thousands of billions of other particles, according to Yofi Shel Yerakot CEO Daniel Lev.
The device can identify 300 different pesticides even in complex mixtures, including materials that arrive unannounced by air or by greenhouse equipment, the association said. Providing nearly complete supervision of the vegetables, the equipment is also capable of monitoring air and water used during the growth process to examine bacterial growth, Lev explained.
Vegetables under Yofi Shel Yerakot jurisdiction cannot be picked without laboratory approval, and if a failure is identified, the produce is not marketed until complete treatment of the grounds occurs, an association statement said.
After harvesting the vegetables, each crop then must undergo a quality control check according to several parameters in order to determine its destination in either the private consumer or industrial market. For example, a pepper with a scratched appearance would not match consumer market standards but would be very beneficial for industry, the statement explained.
"Without warning, they come to the fields and take crops to check in the laboratory," Rami Sade, an agronomist for Yofi Shel Yerakot told
The Jerusalem Post
on Sunday.
The crops under the association's authority undergo their testing through an Israeli firm called Lab Path, which imports the same equipment used by the FBI and the CIA. Unlike the American intelligence organizations, the Ein Yahav association does not actually use the technology to check for chemical terror in the crops – but the incredibly expensive, sophisticated equipment allows Israeli agriculturists to ensure that the vegetables they sell are entirely residue free and safe to eat, Sade explained.
Each test alone costs NIS 100, and Lab Path conducts thousands of tests for the association each year, he said.
Including about 90 percent of the farms located in Ein Yahav, Yofi Shel Yerakot generates approximately 17,000 tons of vegetables for the domestic market each year, and an additional 17,000 tons for the United States and European markets, association information said.

Prosecutors want a judge to order convicted former Governor Rod Blagojevich to appear in court to sign what they contend is overdue paperwork allowing the ousted governor to remain free while awaiting sentencing.
In a filing this week , government attorneys say Blagojevich hasn't met bond conditions Judge James Zagel set after jurors convicted him on 17 of 20 corruption counts last month.
Zagel told Blagojevich he must secure the bond that's permitted him to remain free since his 2008 arrest by posting his Chicago home and another property. If he flees, he'd lose them.
The filing says defense attorneys have turned over some but not all necessary documentation.
Prosecutors want Zagel to require Blagojevich to come to court Friday.
A message left for Blagojevich attorney Sheldon Sorosky wasn't immediately returned.

I am glad to hear Erika is recovering. Nice to hear good news about the victims of this horror. But I still can't think of this subject without getting upset. I am afraid justice will be denied and the perpetrator will get away with it. May God comfort the victims when this happens.

Developments around the Resort
We are delighted to be moving ahead and are on schedule with the extension project that will further enhance our signature property, Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa. We are pleased to announce that we are developing 4 new villas which will comprise of 74 new rooms and suites, built outside the current resort perimeter. The work on these new luxury villas has already begun and we expect to have all structural work complete by May 2012. All external finishes are due for completion by August 2012 whilst the full landscaping works and project completion is expected by the end of September, in preparation for an October opening.
The construction team will operate 7 days a week with the majority of the development work taking place between 10am and 6pm. Although the usual construction machinery will be utilised, we don't expect this to have a noise impact on our guests, as all work will take place away from Palm Tree Court's current villas and facilities, in a fenced off work site. With the exception of Villa 6, which will be closed during the works, no other facilities will be affected and visual disturbance will be extremely limited when at the resort. The construction site is accessed through a separate entrance and therefore there will be no direct disturbance to guests in the grounds of the resort.
Please inform guests of the ongoing works prior to their arrival; however please reiterate that there will be very limited visual and noise disturbance. As always we will continue to maintain excellent standards of service for all guests throughout their stay.
We would also like to take this opportunity to share our fantastic artist impressions of the new Premium Junior Suites that are being developed. As you will see from the attached images, the design elements and materials used will further enhance the guest experience ensuring ultimate relaxation and luxury living in a modern yet peaceful environment.
Over the coming months, we will ensure that you are frequently updated as we move forward with this exciting project and hope that you join us in embracing the future of Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa.
Special guest and Michelin Star Chef, Stefan Karlsson joined the team at the newly re-vamped White Orchid Restaurant at Jebel Ali Golf Resort, where he prepared an appetizing 5-course meal to guests, combining his Swedish heritage with the existing Asian-fusion concept. This is Stefan's second visit to the resort and he delighted guests this time last year onboard DiVAZ, the resort's unique floating restaurant.
Chef Stefan has now returned to Sweden to continue running Restaurant Fond in Gothenburg, where he works with fresh and local produce to prepare dishes steeped in Swedish tradition yet with a modern and simple flare. A beautiful concept which he brought with him to Dubai and which delighted his guests. Stefan is proud of many worthwhile achievements including a Michelin star, country representation as well as cooking for royal events and Noble Peace Prize Dinners.
Fredrik Reinisch, General Manager of Jebel Ali Golf Resort said "It was a true honour to welcome Chef Stefan to our renowned White Orchid Restaurant and we look forward to having him back in the near future. Due to the popularity of the event we hope to welcome other known chefs from around the world in order to offer our guests the chance to experience trends and flavors otherwise not found in Dubai. This was truly a fantastic experience to bring to Dubai and of great interest to the gastronomic residents of the city".
White Orchid has recently undergone a major extension and refurbishment, opening its doors again earlier this month. The new décor, menu and concepts incorporate different Asian influences and traditions. As one of the signature restaurants at the resort, White Orchid is popular with hotel guests and local residents alike.

A late-night fire Monday rendered a downtown home uninhabitable, forcing its occupants to seek other shelter.
The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department was called to 60 S. Williams St. at about 11:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8, according to Fire Lt. Richard Kaiser Jr. One of the residents called to report smoke was billowing from the basement.
The older downtown home, which sits at the corner of Williams and Paddock streets, is subdivided into three separate units.
By the time first responders arrived at the house, all five occupants had exited the home, Kaiser said. Light smoke had filled the first and second floors. Crews initiated what Kaiser called "an offensive interior attack" in the basement, and declared the blaze controlled by 12:02 a.m.
One resident was evaluated at the scene, but was not transported to the hospital, Kaiser said.
The fire damage, estimated at $10,000, was contained to laundry room, but smoke damage spread throughout the house. The basement windows have since been boarded up, and the Crystal Lake Building Department classified the structure as uninhabitable until repairs are made, Kaiser said.
The five displaced residents are staying with family in the area, Kaiser said. However, on Tuesday a cat sat in the window next to a cage filled with birds. No homeowners answered the door.
Kaiser said the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Several area fire departments responded to the box alarm.

OK as this is an off day and we can only speculate on dumping Lou for so long ( If they have not done it yet, I don't see it happening), a few small bits of information.Matt Murton is hitting .343 which is third best in his league and tops on his team. Looks like he found a good place, but I actually wouldn't mind a nice right handed OF who hits for contact.
Here is a nice bit on Maddux from Austin Bibens-Dirkx
"Having Greg Maddux as one of the guys in the organization is nice," Bibens-Dirkx said of the four-time Cy Young winner-turned-Cubs special assistant. "I sat down with him after my last start, and the knowledge he has is ridiculous. He was predicting pitches before they would happen and what the results would be. He talked with me about philosophy and when to throw certain pitches in different counts. It's nice to have him around."
And another one from Doug Glanville's new book
"Insecurity also makes players creatures of habit, doing the same things over and over, in the same order - at least, until a rival catches on." Glanville says he would always enter the batter's box with his head down, until the great Greg Maddux took note of it: "One game while my head was down, the ball was halfway to home plate before I looked up. Easy strike. Advantage Maddux."

Valkyrja Reveals New Album Details
W.T.C. Productions has announced November 11th as the international release date for Valkyrja's new album, "The Antagonist's Fire."
Valkyrja's third album to date and first for W.T.C., "The Antagonist's Fire" follows the band's second album, "Contamination" (reviewed here), released in 2010 by Metal Blade. The following press release was issued about the new album:
"Furious yet poised, feral yet professional, here the Swedish black metal kings go from strength to strength, employing a variety of tempos and textures - including a pronounced usage of classic heavy metal lead work - whilst staying deadly committed to timeless black metal orthodoxy. Each track explodes into burning black fire and reaches near-anthem status before song's end, twisting the listener into a state of feverish possession."

Valkyrja To Record New Album
Sweden's Valkyrja will begin recording the follow-up to "Contamination" (reviewed here) later this month, and the band has now issued the following statement about the upcoming release:
"It has been over three years since the completion of the second album. Since then, no words have been said concerning audio to follow.
"As always - determined to reach further, ascending higher and descending even deeper.
As always - prepared to announce the discontinuation of Valkyrja if all past deeds could not be exceeded.
"A discontinuation did however not seem to be the action to follow. The silence that has covered the question whether a sequel to 'Contamination' would ever surface or not has been far from present in our hearts, as a work of monstrous proportions has been going on since the second album was named and announced. Three years of overwhelming work whose entity has grown into a sick and twisted piece of violence, now finally ready to be put onto tape.
"The manifestation of the third album will begin during the last days of October, once again delivered by the hands of Tore Stjerna in his Necromorbus Studio.
"These lines are the first, last and only ones to be written concerning the third weapon until we reveal its final form with all relevant information.
"Spread the word..."
Valkyrja To Play Huginns Awakening Fest
Swedish act Valkyrja has been confirmed for the upcoming Huginns Awakening Fest IV, which is set to take place on April 14th, 2012 in Belgium. Valkyrja also recently posted footage online of the band's performing at the Eindhoven Metal Meeting performance, which can be viewed below. For more on the band's recent touring, check out the group's latest road report at this location.
Valkyrja Checks In From The Road
Valkyrja has checked in with the following road report and statement about canceling the band's Rites of Darkness festival appearance:
"Since the 5th of December, Valkyrja no longer shares space with Vader, Gorgoroth and the Massive Music crew. The gig in Athens marked our last date under this flag and we salute our new allies as well as our old brothers in arms. D.G. and Thelberg for peerless executions, Massive Music and all their unmatched associates, devoted ones from the many crowds, whose immense energies fed the many fires, and all who drank with us from the grail of the nightside during our venture. Only one gig remains of 'The Final Contamination,' this being the attendance at Eindhoven Metal Meeting. The last nail is about to taste the hammer...
"As the live gallery is about to be expanded with visuals from the past assaults, we ask for your participation. If you have media, in any form, contact us for your contribution.
"As several other bands, Valkyrja has been forced to cancel the Rites of Darkness Festival in Texas. Thanks to Dani and all the other involved parts, we refused 10 additional European shows of the VADER/GORGOROTH/VALKYRJA tour in order to make it to their - so called - event. We've heard excuse after excuse, but there are no longer any possibilities for us to make our arrangements in time. Let it be known: this is ONLY their fault and we hold them responsible in every single way!
"The 'Contamination' vinyl will be delayed due to a fire at the printing factory. Only a handful of surviving copies remain. More details to follow... More...

I'm sick today. It had nothing to do with the extended weekend and everything to do with a flu bug that's going around. *ugh*
Don't even feel like working on anything either…
Oh yeah, I saw Xmen 2 last night and I enjoyed it! I thought it was more like a comic book format, skipping from one scene to another quickly. Others didn't like that but I found the characters engaging, and it zipped along at a neat pace!

You may remember the story we posted last week about oral sex being linked to an increased risk of developing oral cancer. That's pretty terrifying stuff. But there's no scary news that can't be rendered hilarious through the magic of Taiwan CGI animation.
The creative geniuses at Next Media Animation worked their magic on the oral sex cancer story and the results, as usual, are incredible. Check out the video below.

Prakalyam Gallery
The Vertex, Ubi Avenue 3, #01-09 tel: 6635 4741
Hours: Weekdays: 11am-6pm, Saturdays: 11am-5pm, closed on Sundays and public holidays
WHAT happens when you get over-enthusiastic about shopping for a new home, and end up with things you have no space for?
Easy - you literally open shop to sell them, as married couple Kasivishvanaath and Veshali Visvanaath have done with Prakalyam Gallery, a new furniture gallery selling antiques and collectibles from India.
"We both love collecting Indian antiques and have been doing so, for the last six years," says Mrs Visvanaath, 36. "Usually, we just buy one or two pieces, but when shopping for our home last year, we went overboard."
The couple - second generation owners of Muthu's Curry, which was started by Mr Visvanaath's father - bought more pieces than their home in Greenwood Avenue could fit, including a French study table that is now on the gallery floor.
Prakalyam Gallery, meaning "all things beautiful" in Sanskrit and "olden times" in Hindi, now has about 200 pieces that didn't make the cut at their home.
All are genuine antiques, which the couple personally sourced from all over India. Some of the pieces date as far back as the 15th century when the Portuguese first arrived in India. The pieces generally fall into several categories: Indo-French, Indo-Portuguese, Indo-Dutch, British, and Indian ethnic. "You can tell which period each piece is from," says Mrs Visvanaath. For example, cupboards from the British era usually have "claw" legs, while those of Dutch design have "ball" legs. "The Portuguese also tend to have more intricate designs in their carvings, such as grapevines running down the sides of a cupboard," says Mrs Visvanaath. Many of the pieces are either rosewood or teakwood.
The couple go on sourcing trips, and often check out private homes and sometimes palaces to find these gems, which are from 50 to 300 years old. One of their rare finds is an 18th century door and door frame, made of teakwood, bought from a home in Tamil Nadu which was about to be demolished. The doors still work, but the couple reckon that this will more likely be used as an art piece.
The gallery also has several writing desks, which come with hidden drawers, as well as chests, many of which still have the original key. Most of the pieces have to be restored, "but we don't go overboard, otherwise the pieces will lose their natural beauty," says Mrs Visvanaath.
The couple also sell statues, and each has to go through rigorous scrutiny by the Antiquity Board of India. "Any statue that is more than 100 years old cannot be taken out of India, as they are considered national treasures," Mrs Visvanaath explains. The gallery has found fans in Indian, European and Chinese clientele. "The Indians and Europeans know what they are getting as they are more familiar with such pieces," says Mrs Visanaath. "Our Chinese customers are more familiar with Chinese antiques, so this is something new to them."
Regardless, the couple are most willing to spend time sharing the history of each piece, and they say that often the purchase only takes 10 minutes, "but they are happy to spend hours at the gallery learning about each piece", says Mrs Visvannath. Prices start from $90 to $20,000.
While the couple select each piece based on their design and historical value, functionality is still of importance to them.
"You must be able to use the pieces, and not just have them on display," says Mrs Visvanaath. As each piece is an antique, there are customers who are wary about touching them. "I encourage them to feel them - these pieces are much stronger than what you can buy today," says Mrs Visvanaath.

By Blaire Briody for The Fiscal Times
NEW YORK (The Fiscal Times) — As pro-life advocates frequently argue, abortions can cause emotional stress and anxiety for the women who get them, but one study is also looking at the long-term effects of women with unwanted pregnancies who don't have an abortion.
The ongoing study from researchers at Advancing New Standards in Public Health, which works on reproductive health care and policy, follows the lives of nearly 1,000 women who sought an abortion and finds that women turned away because their pregnancies had advanced past the legal period were more likely to rely on government assistance and live below the poverty line and less likely to have a full-time job a year later than the women had abortions.
Related Articles
At the time the women sought abortions, there were no differences in economic status between the two groups and 45% were getting public assistance. But after a year, 76% of the women in the study who wanted an abortion and were turned away were on public assistance, compared with 44% of those who got abortions, and 67% of "turnaways" were living below the poverty line (versus 56% of women who got abortions).
The study has also found that there "are no mental health consequences of abortion compared to carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term," which goes against some of the controversial research often touted by politicians that abortions lead to mental illness, drug use and even suicide. According to the study, it wasn't the women who had abortions but women who were turned away who reported more anxiety a week after being denied and more stress a year out.

Queens Park Rangers went up early against Blackburn Rovers and looked to be on the way to compounding Steven Kean's misery by inflicting yet another loss on his struggling side, but the goal seemed to spur the visitors into some sort of action and Blackburn played reasonably well for the rest of the match, equalising quickly and then holding out (with a touch of good fortune) against a QPR side desperate for all three points.
It was a good response to Heidar Hulgusson's opener, scored after a corner-induced goalmouth scramble, and Chris Samba brought the game level from another set piece, nodding past Patrick Kenny to make it 1-1. Despite plenty of chances from both sides - there were 25 shots in the match, neither could score again. That could have been very different late on, when the influential Adel Taarabt went down in the penalty area after being fouled by Michel Salgado. Mark Clattenburg was unimpressed, but it was a very strong call for a spot kick and QPR will doubtless feel a little aggrieved about it not being given. Anyway, despite the draw, Blackburn go bottom of the table on goal differential. But hey, a point!

Muy Cansado 'Let It Go' and release album
Muy Cansado seem in a rush to play a hometown CD release show for their second full-length, "Let It Go." The official national release isn't until January, but with the Boston-based pop-rock trio's last album coming out so long ago — their debut "Stars & Garters," was issued in 2008 — they're quite ready to air their wares.
"We wanted to just get it out," admits singer and guitarist Chris Mulvey. "These songs took a while. We began recording in March of 2011. The first five songs were the most challenging we've ever done. There were parts of the recording process that were super-smooth and easy. Then there was a time when we just couldn't do it because of everyone's schedule."
But Mulvey says there was no pulling of hair or anxiety.
"We didn't want to start rushing and not get what we wanted. We thought about releasing the five songs as another EP but decided to go full-length."
A couple of older songs were added before they recorded two new songs and found themselves in new sonic territory.
"The title track is significantly different. Before we were writing very Bob Dylan-y," says Mulvey. "But with 'Let It Go,' we thought we could make it disjointed and dance-y. Once we got cooking, we got really excited. It took us out of our normal element. It was kind of a trip."
Then it was time to let it go and get it out.
"It did feel drawn out," Mulvey says of the process, "but it never felt exhausting. Getting it done sometimes just takes time."
The beat goes on
After Friday's gig, drummer Jon Ulman will be replaced by Reyna Herrera. "Jon was a huge part of the CD," says Mulvey. "When you're in a trio, everybody plays a real big part. He moved us toward the more dance-oriented sound. He had to play the CD release show."

Arkansas State runs 'hide the midget' play in Go Daddy Bowl
Originally published: Jan 6, 2014 - 8:41 am
Well, Arkansas State won the game 23-20, and used some pretty creative play-calling in the process.
Down 10-3 in the second quarter, the Red Wolves used a play called "hide the midget" -- where the offensive line basically stands up to obscure a small receiver crouched down in a tight end position.
In this instance, "the midget" was 5-foot-9 receiver R.J. Fleming, who took a hidden handoff from the quarterback and ran around the left end for a 27-yard gain. Arkansas State would go on to score the game-tying touchdown on the drive right before halftime.
As ESPN play-by-play man Carter Blackburn pointed out, the play comes straight from the book of Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn, who coached at Arkansas State in 2012.
Now we'll just have to see if Malzahn pulls it out during the BCS Championship Game Monday night against Florida State.
If he does, hopefully he changes the name to more politically-correct "hide the little person."

My day would start on a Saturday night on a weekend my partner Toby doesn't have to work. We'd start the night out over cocktails with friends at Sun Liquor, a small bar in our neighborhood, Capitol Hill. I would order a "Dark and Stormy" and Toby would order his favorite, a "Greyhound." We'd both watch Erik the bartender flex his muscles working the last drop of freshly squeezed grapefruit from the manual juicer. The tiny bar is constantly filled with the palpable aroma of citrus. No pre-made mixers for this bunch! The bartenders are always nice and informative. They really know their stuff.
From there we'd retreat to my favorite bar, The Bus Stop and hunker down for a few drinks. The patrons come and go in this small neighborhood bar. It ebbs and flows constantly creating an interesting mix of people. It's gay. It's straight. It's lesbian. It's trans. It's random. It's hipster. It's plain Jane. I love it. The original bar was razed to make way for condos but the owners Gary and Rodney found an almost identical space a few short blocks from it's original location to recreate the scene of many crimes. The music here is always spot on whether it's being blasted from an iPod or being carefully selected by the DJ. On this particular night the speakers are pumping out The Smiths, Junior Senior, Le Tigre, Pixies, and Stereolab. Fueled by the strong drinks and creative energy the bar breaks out into an impromptu dance party. Strangers and friends alike cram the small bar and shake what their momma gave them.
All that dancing inspires me to stroll down to The Baltic Room and dance the night away at my friend Gene's monthly gay soul club Talcum. It's a spin-off of the Emerald City Soul Club's popular monthly dance night. The music is a mix of Northern Soul music, the crowd is friendly and interesting, and the talcum powder fills the air.
The next morning we'd rally the brunch crew. Sunday brunch at Linda's has been a weekly tradition since I moved to town six years ago. It's a dive bar/greasy spoon with good food at good prices. This particular day we'd score a table on the back patio which would be full of sunshine (one of the last places Kurt Cobain was said to be seen alive). Moque, our favorite waitress would deliver a pitcher of mimosas to our table – on the house. I'd order the steak and eggs. Medium rare, scrambled, English muffin, please. The jukebox spins a delightful mix of Michael Jackson, The Mamas and the Papas, David Bowie, Pixies, and The Delta 5. We'd sit back, take in the sun, throw back the mimosas, and enjoy the scenery and each other's company.
{Photo: Wheelo50411}
To work off my mimosas and steak and eggs I take a short bike ride down the hill through the downtown core to Pike Place Market for the perfect breakfast dessert – donuts! The Daily Dozen serves them up in a small stall at the market. Mesmerized by watching the entire donut making process unfold right before my eyes, I order a dozen assorted donuts and dig in. I reach in to the brown paper bag already becoming stained with grease and I pop a fresh hot donut into my pie hole. I continue to devour the bag as I stroll through the stalls of fresh produce, fish, and fruit mixed in with artists' and craftsmen's wares.
The ride would continue through Seattle's Belltown neighborhood full of boutiques, bars and cafes over to Myrtle Edwards Park, via the Olympic Sculpture Park. The Olympic Sculpture Park was a superfund site until the Seattle Art Museum stepped in and cleaned up the area and turned it into a magnificent park. The park and natural views of Elliot Bay and snow capped Olympic Mountains captures my heart more so than the artwork. I'd ride my bike along the waterfront taking in the salt air and views of the mountains, container ships, ferries, and sailboats.
{Photo: Jeff Wilcox}
After biking up Seattle's hilly terrain to Capitol Hill, I'd reconnect with Toby and a bunch of friends to spend the remainder of the afternoon people watching in Cal Anderson Park. It's a few short blocks from our place, making it a regular place to relax. Once an open reservoir, it was capped a few years ago creating several new acres of park space on top of the active reservoir below. It's a great place for lounging, kite flying, bocce, or croquet. You can watch little kids frolicking in the wading pool while people juggle swords, practice yoga, toss the frisbee or picnic.
My perfect day would wrap up over sushi at HaNa, located on the neighborhood's eclectic strip of Broadway, smack dab between Cal Anderson Park and our home. We'd order a boat load of sushi and sashimi, savoring each bite. The ambiance is nothing to note, but the service and food is excellent. Happy and full, we'd shuffle home after a long, wonderful, fun-filled day spent with friends.
Daniel has lived in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood with his partner Toby for nearly six years. By day he works for non-profit Community Voice Mail providing communication services to homeless and low-income people across the country. By night he scampers about town getting into all sorts of capers.

Felipe Alves Pops in Vibrant Solids for Hay Torres
With a bubblegum pop explosion of tropical colors, Carioca model Felipe Alves poses for Hay Torres in the January 2014 issue of Tá Poha! Torres' brain candy visuals fizzle and pop, recalling some of the best shutterbugs of the era — namely Steven Meisel's high art portraits and David LaChapelle's subversive hyper-real kitsch pop surrealism. Brazilian model Felipe Alves is the perfect subject. When Alves' kilowatt bright Colgate white smile, dark and mysterious eyes, and fantastic physique are not at the forefront of the yellow background — flickers of cerise and cobalt blue in between — it's all about the expressive WO Underwear by William Ostom.
Check out the photos on the following pages, then head on over to The Underwear Expert for the rest of the set.

Hello, my name is Dave. I do a little writing over at the SB Nation Sixers site, www.libertyballers.com. Most of my work involves reminiscing about random Philadelphia athletes from my youth. And, this morning, while cleaning out My Documents, I stumbled upon this piece from my now defunct blog.
Thought I would share.
Name: Ricardo "Ricky" Otero
Born: Vega Baja, Puerto Rico
Nickname: "Sparkplug" Ricky Otero
Believable Dialogue from 1996:
"Mom, this Otero is the real deal!"
Sweetie, what have I told you about small sample size?
"It's 1996. What the fuck is sample size?"
I wikipedia'd Ricky before I opened up this Word Document.
Ricardo Otero (April 15, 1972 in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico) is a retired Major League Baseball player who played outfielder from 1995 to 1997. He played for the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets.
I wrestled with many emotions while reading those few sentences. I was confused, hurt, disappointed, empty - mostly empty I guess. It was like the scene in Angels in the Outfield when the little kid says to Tony Danza's character, "You used to be Mel Clark."
What happened? When did we collectively forget about Otero? When did he disappear from the public's stream of consciousness? Did we quit Ricky cold turkey in '98, when he was out of the Major Leagues for good? Or was it gradual erosion, a wave of centerfielders - Glanville, Byrd, Lofton, Rowand, Victorino - that slowly chipped away at Otero's mystique.
But before we got over Otero, we first had to love Otero. And love we did. It was love at first sight, a schoolgirl crush kind of love that had us smiling and giggling, and scribbling in notebooks:
Otero 4 Eva.
For ten days in '96, there was no bigger news story than Ricky Otero. It may as well have been John Lennon batting lead-off and roping the ball gap to gap. Compared to Otero's eight-game stretch that spring, the Atlanta Summer Olympics seemed like nothing more than a small blip on the pop culture radar.
His first eight games as a Phillie produced a .353/.439/.471 line. It was like Lenny Dykstra went down with an injury, so Lee Thomas reached into Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and plucked out Ty Cobb. Otero was the proverbial table setter at the top of the line-up: Walking, stealing bases, hitting for occasional power. He tucked himself into a Chicago hotel bed that night with a .921 OPS to his credit. I, too, tucked myself into bed that night, finally knowing what it was like to watch Richie Ashburn patrol center field.
*Cue the VH1's Behind the Music narrator*
Little did Otero know, however; his best days were already behind him.
His numbers slid fast, steadily, a one-hit wonder whose once catchy chorus had turned drab and annoying. And I said, what about, breakfast at Ricky's... Otero finished the year with a pedestrian .678 OPS. The next year, he played just fifty games for the Fightins, and by '98, he was gone - a fleeting memory, an obscure answer to a sports bar trivia question.
So today, I ask you to remember Ricky Otero. This post, like his career, was cut way too short.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
