From three stops on tonight's West Seattle Art Walk map, all in The Junction:
West Seattle High School artist Audrey Martin was showing work in a tent. A ShelterBox tent, to be specific, set up in Junction Plaza Park for Art Walk night, as a pop-up location for the work of Audrey and other student artists, presented by the Rotary Club of West Seattle's Rotaract group. Also in The Junction, an early Halloween:
Artist Todd D. Martin has "Haunted" work on the walls at Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (WSB sponsor) – which was decorated spookily for the night, including lights and sound effects. Luminarias too! From there, we headed to Wallflower Custom Framing (also a WSB sponsor), which is hosting work by Patri O'Connor this month:
It's always a party at Wallflower on Art Walk night – proprietor Courtney Sievertson (right) had another special guest – Heidi Herr from Admiral Bird:
Heidi brought beverages and soup. While the treats offered at many Art Walk venues are generally just for WSAW night itself, most shows are up for the entire month, so if you missed them tonight, stop by sometime soon! The list and map are on the WSAW website. (And set a reminder for the November Art Walk – great time to find unique holiday gifts – Thursday, November 13th.)

Happening now: West Seattle Art Walk, September 2014!September 11, 2014 at 6:11 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | 1 Comment
From Admiral to The Triangle to The Junction to Morgan Junction, the September West Seattle Art Walk is on until 9 pm. Here's the map/venue list. Photos to come – watch the WSB Instagram feed in the meantime.
8:01 PM: Had to divert to breaking news, but we made it to two stops and have a photographer at a third. First, at Mind Unwind/Treehouse Lounge in The Admiral District, even before tonight's featured artist arrived, we found customers exploring creativity:
That's Mariah and Justin. Then it was on to The Junction, where Click! Design That Fits (WSB sponsor) is featuring two artists tonight – first, in a meet-the-maker event, it's Steve Lawler of rePly Furniture:
Shelli Markee, best known for her wire birds on the Click! walls, is there too.
ADDED: West Seattle Cellars north of Morgan Junction had two artists tonight, too – Rich Lehl:
… and ET Marsden:
WS Cellars has free wine tastings every Thursday night, by the way, not just Art Walk nights. And it's just steps away from West Seattle's only co-working center, WS Office Junction (WSB sponsor):
That's the WSOJ team posing with some of the art on display in their quarters at 6040 California SW, where you're invited to a free coworking meetup every Wednesday, noon-1:15 pm. Meantime, next month's West Seattle Art Walk will be October 9th – in the meantime, many venues keep their displays up all month, so check the WSAW website and check out art in the days and weeks ahead.
Happening now: West Seattle Summer Fest Eve, July Art WalkJuly 10, 2014 at 7:33 pm | In Fun stuff to do, West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | 3 Comments
The streets are closed in the heart of The Junction and the party's on – West Seattle Summer Fest eve, setup going on while, as the night began, Bubbleman made his traditional appearance outside Elliott Bay Brewery:
And as he performed, the setup continued (vendors don't arrive until tomorrow morning, but the booths, stage, and other components need to go up tonight):
Some merchants got going on the Summer Fest sidewalk sale early – like Tom Henry of JF Henry (WSB sponsor):
There's music in the street – some of it hasn't even started yet (West 5 proprietor Dave Montoure told us things would get going around 8 pm outside his venue) – and WS Art Walk until 9.
As part of Art Walk, S. Tudyk is at Click! Design That Fits (WSB sponsor), where the Summer Fest pre-party also features Click! co-proprietor Frances Smersh introducing new jewelry. At Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (WSB sponsor), Clay Eals from the Southwest Seattle Historical Society was there for the ongoing show of photos celebrating the 30th anniversary of the high-level bridge:
The two photos with him are before – the old bridge – and after (aerial photo by Long B. Nguyen, whose work is often seen here on WSB). More to come.
Happening now: West Seattle Art Walk, June 2014 editionJune 12, 2014 at 6:21 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | Comments Off
6:21 PM: Sun's out and the West Seattle Art Walk is on – two dozen venues around West Seattle, welcoming you to come enjoy art and meet the artists, until 9 pm. See the map/list here; we're out stopping at some of the venues – coverage to come.
(Added below over the ensuing two-plus hours, which also now have transitioned to drizzly weather post-8 pm…)
The party's on the Hotwire (WSB sponsor) patio at 4410 California SW – among the guests, David Kelliher, who designed the T-shirt art for "Bridging the Gap" used for publication 30 years ago and gracing a commemorative T-shirt now:
Also there, Clay Eals, executive director of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, which is presenting an exhibit of 19 historical photos spanning West Seattle bridges' history – which dates back to the 1890s, as you'll learn from an explanatory sign just inside Hotwire's front doors. If you miss the chance to buy a T-shirt tonight – benefiting SWSHS – they're also on sale at the museum (61st/Stevens, noon-4 pm Thursdays-Sundays) and at West 5 in The Junction.
Fritz Rud is at Click! (WSB sponsor) with his attention-grabbing creations:
Click! co-proprietor John Smersh says they'll be on sale at least for the rest of the month, if not beyond – while they last; as explained on the Click! site, each of the no-power-supply-required creations is one of a kind.
The 20th annual West Seattle Garden Tour (co-sponsored by WSB) is coming up July 20th, and tonight, art from the WSGT poster contest is at Windermere in The Junction – as are many participating artists:
From left – this year's winner Sue Madill, Gretchen Flickinger, Bonnie Bennedsen, Theresa Neinas, Sheila Lengle, Paul Illian, and Bob Tasler. Copies of the poster are on sale, as well as WSGT tickets. The tour raises money for local nonprofits; Sue's contest-winning painting will be sold via silent auction on tour day, and the others' work is available for purchase now.
Opening night tonight at Wallflower (WSB sponsor) in The Junction for Rodolfo Rios Garza's show "Arboles: Serenity, Beauty, and Mystery of Trees." If you didn't get there tonight, you can check it out at the gallery through July 8th.
Most if not all Art Walk venues continue displaying their highlighted exhibitions through the rest of the month, so you can continue Art Walk-ing around West Seattle in the days and nights ahead. Next Art Walk is an extra-special one – the annual West Seattle Summer Fest Eve edition, starting after the streets in the heart of The Junction close Thursday, July 10th, for festival setup – watch for more on that as July gets closer – and of course, there will be venues outside The Junction as well, as always.

Scenes from the West Seattle Art Walk, May 2014 editionMay 8, 2014 at 6:42 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | Comments Off
6:42 PM: Thanks to the folks at CAPERS in The Junction for sending a photo of Lisa DeFaccio "showing her fabulous water forms – do not miss." Don't let the natural water forms falling from the sky keep you at home (it's lighter than it was earlier!) during tonight's West Seattle Art Walk – lots of places and artists to check out (see the list/map/previews on the official WSAW website) between now and 9 pm.
ADDED 9:57 PM: We stopped at HomeStreet Bank in The Junction, where 17-year-old artist Charles Lenny was featured tonight:
The Art Walk website preview notes that he's a Chief Sealth International High School senior who works mostly in watercolor layered with ink – and has work on display elsewhere, too. Next Art Walk will be June 12th.
West Seattle scenes: WS Art Walk, April 2014 editionApril 10, 2014 at 8:01 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | 2 Comments
West Seattle Art Walk – under way until 9 pm – extends beyond The Junction:
Our two stops tonight are reminders of that – and they are steps away from each other, just north of Morgan Junction. First we visited West Seattle Cellars (6026 California SW), where co-proprietor Jan Martindale is the featured artist. Her photographs are from her travels to Myanmar (Burma), as explained on the WSAW website. Thursdays are also the weekly nights for free tastings at WSC, and tonight they're focusing on wines from the south of France.
Just to the south, at 6040 California SW, West Seattle Office Junction (WSB sponsor) is officially celebrating its new, larger location:
WSOJ is West Seattle's only coworking-space provider. Tonight they're showing the work of Cherylin Andre and James Zetterberg, along with celebrating the new space's grand opening. Still time to get out into the night and make some stops, whether these or others in The Junction or Admiral – see the official map/venue list in the right sidebar of the official WSAW website.

7:31 PM: Had dinner already? Interested in a walk? Head out and wander a few stops on this month's West Seattle Art Walk, on until 9 pm – first month it's lighter later, thanks to Daylight Saving Time. Stop by the new location of West Seattle Office Junction (WSB sponsor), our area's only coworking space (what you see above is just a small part of it) – 6040 California SW, and two artists.

10:30 PM: Adding photos from our stops in The Junction, where Merryweather Books featured watercolors by Rebecca Rain, wearing the coolest hair decoration we saw all night:
Right across California, Click! Design That Fits (WSB sponsor) was the place to meet Megan Auman (whose entrepreneurial workshop Friday night is sold out!):
At Twilight Gallery and Boutique, the group show In This Place opened tonight – local artist Kelda Martensen is one of five artists whose work is showcased:
Read more about it on Twilight's website. And right around the corner at Easy Street Records, Heidi Barack's show opened tonight:
Read about the show here. And remember that most participating businesses' shows are up all month, so even if you didn't get out to see the art tonight, be on the lookout throughout March.

West Seattle scenes: Holiday-season people-watchingDecember 22, 2013 at 7:29 pm | In Holidays, West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | 1 Comment
The holidays are peak season for people-watching, with more people hosting and mingling than any other time of the year. Above, Dinah Brein and Santa Claus in the lobby of the historic Admiral Theater, which Dinah manages, as people arrived for this afternoon's free Christmas movie. Yes, as usual, The Admiral *WILL* be open on Christmas Day – movies and showtimes are listed on its website.
Next: From the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce holiday party at newly relocated The Bridge:
In our photo from last Thursday's party – a full house! – West Seattle Food Bank executive director Fran Yeatts and Charles Morgan from Jackson, Morgan & Hunt PLLC (WSB sponsor). Chamber members can keep an eye on their e-mail for details of next month's annual meeting, at which a new officer slate is up for election; Nancy Woodland of WestSide Baby is in the running for chair, succeeding Dave Montoure of West 5, who becomes past president.
And people we met during this month's West Seattle Art Walk and peninsula-wide Holiday Bazaar:
The holiday party at Brunette Mix (WSB sponsor) was more than a celebration – it was a fun(draiser) too. Cleveland High School junior Diana Greenaway is working to get more life-saving LifeStraw portable filters to kids in Kenya. Diana's project continues – read about it here (you can donate via that page, too).
At West 5 on Art Walk/Holiday Bazaar night, we found the HH Goods team:
If you didn't catch them that night, you might have seen them at other bazaars this holiday season – their website lists other appearances including Highland Park and South Park.
And at Wallflower Custom Framing (WSB sponsor), we photographed Jessica Creager, one of the featured artists in this month's Puny Picture Show:
Since many of the Art Walk displays are kept up throughout the month, that means lots of handmade local art is available as last-minute gifts – browse the official Art Walk website for some names, venues, and ideas. (Next Art Walk is January 9th, second Thursday as usual.)

Check wsartwalk.com for a sampling of artists/venues. And here are some of the previews we've received directly (and have been in our Holiday Guide):
BRUNETTE MIX HOLIDAY PARTY: It's a party AND a benefit to ensure clean water for kids, at Brunette Mix (WSB sponsor) in The Junction, 6-9 pm. "It is specifically for LifeStraw, a very cool straw that cleans water before drinking, a very important thing to the kids in Kenya that will get them. Food, drinks and SWAG bags are part of the fun. We will also have chair massage and makeup applications." (SW Oregon just west of California SW)
QUILT RAFFLE AT CAPERS: See the quilt at left?

As-it-happened coverage: West Seattle Art Walk, north to southSeptember 12, 2013 at 6:34 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | 3 Comments
We're starting summer's last West Seattle Art Walk – it's year-round, but fall will arrive by the next one – on the north end of the map, at Alki Arts (2820 Alki SW). That's co-proprietor Diane Venti in our photo with some of tonight's featured work; also at her gallery, MoonGirl is making music tonight for a sunny evening.
This is also Alki Arts' final West Seattle Art Walk, since its lease ends at month's end, after what began as a "temporary" experiment turned into a three-year adventure.
Next, we're heading south to the Admiral District. Tonight's venue map/list is here, and Art Walk is on until 9 pm.
6:52 PM: At Mind Unwind (2206 California SW), you'll meet Los Angeles artist Meagan Segal:
Her art tells a story, with flowers and with the inner workings of humans. Also featured tonight, Seattle artist Robroy Chalmers, and MU proprietor Krystal Kelley has booked live music too – classical guitarist Tim Scallon. Segal and Chalmers' work together forms the show "Torn Inside," and is explained in exhibition notes on the WSAW website: "Both look to the body as a source of visual beauty, physical pain, sexual pleasure and intellectual discovery. The images they make reflect a deep understanding of the human form, but both come to a far different end with their rendering of the form."
Next – we continue southbound, to The Junction.
7:33 PM: Two Junction stops so far, and two more to go. Continuing the north-to-south trajectory, we dropped by Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (4410 California SW; WSB sponsor):
That's photographer David Atkinson, showing work including incredible natural beauty.
At Click! Design That Fits (4540 California SW; WSB sponsor), as reported here earlier this week, it's the first book signing for Christopher Boffoli since his "Big Appetites" book hit the stores two days ago:
It's a reception, too, and Click! also is featuring the realist paintings of Ann Duffy tonight.
8:41 PM: Our last two stops for the night, also in The Junction – Twilight Gallery (4306 SW Alaska), where Kristina Griffith was speaking about her "Iconic Women" work, an "illustrative portrait series celebrat(ing) Iconic Women and their diversity":
Like many of the exhibits that are up on Art Walk night, you can visit the venue to see this one even afterward – it'll be up all month. (By the way, you might recall that Griffith is one of the artists who did mural work on the vacant storefronts awaiting demolition on the other side of the California/Alaska intersection.)
Speaking of Mural – the lower floor of that building is home to Wallflower Custom Framing (4735 44th SW; WSB sponsor), where Sue Danielson's "Circularity Series" opened:
Next WS Art Walk is the second Thursday in October, so that's October 10th – the venue list is only locked in one quarter at a time, so there'll be some additions by then; keep an eye on wsartwalk.com.
Happening now: West Seattle Art Walk – plus kale and wingsAugust 8, 2013 at 7:29 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | 5 Comments
Another big event tonight – and this one just happens once a month – West Seattle Art Walk! While WSAW official stops are all over the peninsula, and all on the map/list you can find here, you'll find a few extras around The Junction – like Rose the Kale Lady, above, outside Shoofly Pie. She's selling curly-leaf kale for $2, with proceeds to the West Seattle Food Bank, also the beneficiary of raffle tickets she's selling. Rose's watercolor paintings are on display too.
Further south on California, Easy Street Records is where you'll find the wings mentioned in our headline – Happy Hour tonight in the café, per this photo tweeted earlier by ESR proprietor Matt Vaughan. Here's the menu for this new Thursday night feature:
Around the corner at Twilight:
ADDED 8:19 PM: At Firefly Café and Creperie (California/Genesee; WSB sponsor), you'll find Adriene Travis and his Kolorfusion photo/graphics art:
Next Art Walk: 6-9 pm September 12th.

Thanks to CAPERS in The Junction for sharing that photo of work by their featured artist tonight during the West Seattle Art Walk, continuing till 9 pm: You might know Machel Spence best for her photography, but she also makes these beautiful boxes. CAPERS is at 4525 California SW, one of the many venues listed on the official WS Art Walk site. More to come!
Happening now: West Seattle Art Walk, May editionMay 9, 2013 at 6:45 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | Comments Off
It's West Seattle Art Walk night till 9 pm – a beautiful night to traverse the peninsula and enjoy art at a variety of venues. One is Click! Design That Fits (WSB sponsor) in The Junction, whose co-proprietor John Smersh shared the photo of their featured artist, Amy Huber, explaining:
Amy Huber is showing two bodies of work for this show: Organically Controlled. The images she's posing in front of are her "sketchbook experiment". Each pair of illustrations starts with an original drawing of something recognizable. The second drawing is an abstract started from where the ink bled through to the next page in her sketchbook.
She's also showing her "Stress Paintings". Amy works as a graphic designer at Nordstrom; when she's trying to work out an idea at work she'll often doodle absentmindedly on post-its. The patterns that emerged proved strong enough to be recreated as original paintings on canvases.
We've also made a stop in North Delridge – more on that in a moment. The map with all of this month's venues can be found at wsartwalk.com.
ADDED 7:00 PM: Earlier today, we showed you around Youngstown Flats (see the photo tour here), a new WSB sponsor that's leasing apartments in North Delridge. One big aspect of the project is its art – on every floor – and tonight the 14 artists and their work are being celebrated. One is Sara Everett, who also curated the work:
She posed for us in front of two of her pieces near the Dakota entry, both evoking greenery such as that you would find along nearby Longfellow Creek.
That's Oval/Burst by Carla Grahn, which you'll see right when you walk into the main entry. You can meet her and many of the other 13 artists, while touring the building and enjoying refreshments, till 9 tonight (26th and Dakota).
P.S. A note from Art Walk organizers:
This quarter the postcard/walking map and Art Walk Here posters feature the artwork of Emily Williamson. Emily was a West Seattle artist who passed away recently; her life touched the lives of many in our community. Her cheerful art is a reminder of her beautiful spirit and the brief time that we have to live and create!
Emily's artwork was featured at Mind Unwind during March. Read remembrances of her life here.

Reporting for West Seattle Blog
Spring sunshine graced Thursday evening's West Seattle Art Walk – above, at Firefly Café & Creperie (4160 California SW; WSB sponsor), featured artist Kimi J. Hansen-Chadwick (right) and proprietor Charell Estby. One of Hansen-Chadwick's paintings, below:
Art appreciators at Firefly also enjoyed a sample of Zoka Coffee's single origin Guatemalan "El Limonar" coffee, brewed with the "pour over" method by Zoka roaster Matreya:
Etsby was excited to take part in the West Seattle Art Walk — and to combine it with hosting a donation drive for WestSide Baby (packaged diapers, car seats). Per Etsby, two car seats were donated today. The bright red bin is ready and waiting in the cafe for the month of April:
Artists Judy Lane of Crooked Feather Girl Studio, and Rafael Caraballo also had their works on display at Firefly:
Meanwhile, more sunshine – and butterfly wings – glowed inside the newly opened West Seattle Office Junction (WSB's coverage of opening day here). Entrepreneurs Stefan Hansmire and Christine Bartels welcomed visitors:
Featured artist Walter Scheirer (below) used off-tint house paint and salvaged/recycled doors in his work; this series is titled "Abstracts in Insects" with pieces depicting designs and patterns from butterfly wings. (Learn more about Scheirer's artwork here.)

West Seattle Art Walk, March 2013 edition: 2 Junction stopsMarch 15, 2013 at 12:46 am | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | Comments Off
Two scenes from The Junction during Thursday night's West Seattle Art Walk – above, artist Michelle Salazar (left) at Wallflower Custom Framing (4735 42nd SW; WSB sponsor) with proprietor Courtney Sievertson. Wallflower is a fun stop on Art Walk night, not only because of the variety of artists showcased, but also because it's a comfortable venue for the Art Walk reception-style experience, a sip, a snack, a chat with the artist … You can read about Michelle and her work here.
Not far away, at Click! Design That Fits (4540 California SW; WSB sponsor), metal/jewelry artist Sarah Loertscher was in the spotlight:
Click! shared the photo of Sarah, whose unique work is described here. It'll be on display at Click! for two months, so if you missed Art Walk night, you can still view (and purchase!) the art – many of the participating venues keep the displays up all month.
Another invitation: West Seattle Art Walk seeking hostsMarch 4, 2013 at 2:20 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | 5 Comments
Every second Thursday, it's a celebration of art and community, at dozens of businesses, galleries, and other venues around the peninsula – the monthly West Seattle Art Walk. And there's room for more, according to this WSAW announcement:
The West Seattle Art Walk committee is currently putting out a call to area businesses interested in participating in the monthly Art Walk for the second quarter of 2013. Art Walk is an evening community event on the second Thursday of each month, including locations across the West Seattle peninsula. Requirements for Art Walk hosts include procuring an artist, featuring their work, and committing to being open during Art Walk for the 3 months of the quarter they are signed up for. Interested? Click here for an application, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Deadline for participation is March 8.
Note that this is *not* a call for artists, but if you *are* an artist interested in participating, you are urged to contact participating businesses (listed at wsartwalk.com).
The next Art Walk is March 14th; if your venue signs up for second-quarter participation, that would start with the April 11th WSAW.
West Seattle Art Walk: Alki Arts celebrates Black History MonthFebruary 15, 2013 at 5:59 am | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news | Comments Off
Alki Arts is always a hot spot on the West Seattle Art Walk map, and last night was no exception. Portraits by Cheryl Zahniser (photo above) and Jeremy Bell is now on display in honor of Black History Month. And singer/playwright Tina Vernon provided the music:
As gallery co-owner Diane Venti explained via Facebook, Vernon is in Seattle "to perform later in the month as part of Seattle's Hansberry Project." It's one of Vernon's three home bases, according to her bio; she is premiering her one-woman play (with music) "Wanted," February 27-March 3 at Theatre Off Jackson.
P.S. Next West Seattle Art Walk is March 14 – but even if you didn't get out last night, many of the exhibits continue for at least the next few weeks, so review the venues on the WSAW website, and check them out when you can.

Art Walk, happening now: 'Gun Show' at Mind Unwind in AdmiralJanuary 10, 2013 at 6:31 pm | In West Seattle Art Walk, West Seattle news, WS culture/arts | 28 Comments
With this week's news of a city-county gun buyback, our society's use of and relationship to firearms returned to the headlines. That makes a new art exhibit in West Seattle all the more timely, and you can see it during tonight's West Seattle Art Walk. We visited The Admiral District's Mind Unwind gallery/event space for a preview last Friday night, first night of "Gun Show 2013" by Vancouver, B.C., artist Brent Ray Fraser (above), who describes his images of guns and flowers as examples of yin and yang:
Gallery owner Krystal Kelley told WSB the exhibit was booked months ago, long before the Connecticut school massacre and other incidents brought "the gun debate" back to centerstage in our country. She wondered whether to cancel it – but decided that it might play into the discussion, helping people consider their own beliefs and feelings about firearms. This is part of an ongoing series of work by Fraser, about 60 in all so far, he says. He is at Mind Unwind tonight, creating art live, till 9 pm; the show continues till the end of the month, and you can also see it while visiting MU's Treehouse Lounge loft (2206 California SW). P.S. Some of Fraser's work in the exhibit is complimented by arrangements from Admiral's Flower Lab.

Extended hours offered April 27
Booth Library announces extended hours on April 27 in preparation of finals week. The library will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. that day. Booth Library's regular spring hours will continue through May 4. They are 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 1 a.m. Sunday.


text: The power-pop maestro's ninth solo studio affair resembles an overstuffed scrapbook more than it does a coherent album. Though Matthew Sweet's Dagwood-like approach to stacking vocals occasionally still thrills (''You're Not Sorry''), nothing on Living Things approaches the sublimity of 2003's previously Japan-only release Kimi Ga Suki * Raifu (which arrives Stateside on Oct. 19). Instead, the songs are obscured by excessive noodling reminiscent of a jam band. Nobody wants to hear steel drums on a Matthew Sweet record. Except maybe Jimmy Buffett.

Egg-shaped digital photo frame: worst gadget ever?
Sometimes, I just don't understand why or how a gadget came into existence. Just take this Egg Digital Photo Frame, for example. I mean… what? It's a little egg-shaped thing with a 1.5-inch screen. Yes, 1.5 inches. It can show pictures on that tiny screen and it looks ridiculous.
I mean, who would ever buy this thing? Why would you? It looks stupid, the screen is far too small to make it worthwhile, and it's just plain tacky. It's not like the digital photo frame industry is really booming, so I really don't understand this entry into the market. But I guess no matter how dumb the product, somewhere, someone out there will waste their hard earned money on it.

I haven't seen the development of this thread lately, so I am a bit lost about which new updates are there in the betas department.
I've been working on a few Tomb Raider projects which I've probably not posted on here. One of which was a PORT of Tomb Raider Unfinished Business from PC to PS1, as it was a PC exclusive. It works excellent and was fun to work on however, hacking the game can be a nightmare. This isn't really beta related but oh well.
Tomb Raider Unfinished Business PS1
The Times Beta Demo
This is a beta of "The Times Exclusive" demo for Tomb Raider 4 only released on PC but it's for PSX.
Tomb Raider 4 Test Level 1 (October 1999)
This is similar to the test level previously shown but slightly different in level layout and contains a new selection of enemies which are featured in the final. It was probably used to test the enemies and how they react when Lara is in certain places still interesting, I also play around with the camera angle.
Tomb Raider 4 Test Level 2 (October 1999)
A brand new test level for Lara Croft, it was used to test bike Physics and items, objects of what Lara can interact with. This test level can also be seen in a Core Design interview video but it's slightly different and contains a bike unlike this one.
Enjoy these were excellent to play with.
Any chance someone could re-up the Tomb Raider (May 20; E3 Demo) from Hidden Palace?
Bare in mind, Sound does not exist in this version. you need to have PS1 emulator to run this ISO
Enjoy the game.

I think he meant about the guy who threatened to sue about appearing in the game leading to the recall. First time ive heard this story too.

Nov 15 - Camden R. Fine, president and CEO of the Independent Community Bankers of America, has released this statement following the Farm Credit Administrations 2-1 vote to withdraw its proposed rule on rural community investments.
ICBA applauds the FCA board for withdrawing this misguided proposed rule that would have provided Farm Credit System lenders permanent and blanket regulatory authority to pursue all kinds of non-farm lending activities under the guise of investment programs. However, we remain concerned that the FCA board will continue to consider the same kinds of so-called investments on a case-by-case basis.
These pilot projects were nothing more than an attempt to allow FCS lenders to evade the constraints of the law by relabeling their illegal lending schemes as investments. The FCA should take the additional step of sending a clear message to FCS lenders that it will not consider any investment programs that go beyond the eligible loan purposes espoused in the Farm Credit Act that reflect the farm-related mission of this tax-advantaged government-sponsored enterprise. FCS lenders have no business pursuing lending for hotels, restaurants, manufacturing, apartment complexes, health facilities and other clearly non-farm loans. These types of activities were never authorized by the Farm Credit Act and displace taxpaying community banks from their vital role in our rural economies.
CoBanks recent $725 million loan to Verizon Communications to buy out Vodafones stake in Verizon Wireless is just the latest egregious example of inappropriate and unauthorized FCS lending for non-farm purposes.
While todays action withdrawing this proposed rule initiated more than five years ago in June 2008 is a good first step, it does not reimburse the community banking industry for the approximately $4 billion in loans diverted to FCS lenders as investments over the past several years. FCA needs to now take the next step and instruct FCS lenders to keep the Farm in the Farm Credit System and to refrain from non-farm based lending activities. If the FCA wants a larger role for FCS lenders in rural America, the agency should engage with the banking industry on how to achieve this in ways that do not disadvantage community banks and their important role supporting the economic growth and viability of rural America.

Dear Lisa,
During this difficult economic climate, I, like most retailers, had to hold my breath and hope for the best this past Christmas. We have carried Got All Your Marbles at our first store location for more than 4 years and at our second store that opened last year. In my 20 plus years of retail experience I have never seen anything that has ever taken off like your line. There were actually days when we sold nothing but marble jewelry and lots of it! We carry dozens of lines of clothing and accessories and a huge pecentage of our busines is consistently the marbles. We have customers from 10 years old to over 70 that wear it! You have introduced new styles and sizes to your line and your customer service, from billing to filling orders, is outstanding. It is such a pleasure to do business with all of you. And our Christmas season ended with an INCREASE. Without your line we would not have achieved this.

Priest Slams The Door On Rectory Thieves
December 27, 1991
By John Way Jennings, Inquirer Staff Writer
Two men tried to rob an East Camden priest Christmas morning but fled empty-handed when the priest slammed the rectory door in their faces. No one was injured. Camden police said yesterday that Father Thaddeus Sapio, 53, was returning to the St. Anthony parish rectory in the 2800 block of River Road about 1:20 a.m. after checking to see that the church was secure. As he walked past a row of bushes, two young men jumped out. One pointed a gun at the priest. They demanded money, but Father Sapio told them he had none, police said.
Little hope left for idea to renovate a rectory
January 19, 2002
By Stephan Salisbury INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
For a brief moment, a dream flared in North Philadelphia, and then it crumbled like an old brick wall, as hope of saving the dilapidated rectory of the Episcopal Church of the Advocate faded away yesterday. "Overall, it's in much worse condition than we thought," said Joanne Jackson, executive director of the Advocate Community Development Corp., which wants to renovate the rectory and was awarded a $100,000 state matching grant to do so. Demolition of the building - home to the Rev. Paul Washington, a social activist, for a quarter of a century - began earlier this week at the direction of the church's board of trustees.
A Haven For Sharing With Others Group Home Was Rectory
April 21, 1989
By Dave Bittan, Daily News Staff Writer
Alonzo Blackshear says life has been more pleasant for him since he moved into a 1989 version of the old-fashioned rooming house he'll soon share with five others. But until they arrive, Blackshear, happy in his large, sunny room with big windows and a lovely view, is rattling around by himself in the three-story, six-bedroom dwelling that has been extensively rehabbed, mostly with federal funds. The former rectory of St. George Episcopal Church, at 61st Street and Cedar Avenue in West Philadelphia, had been vandalized and vacant for 10 years.
Surprising discovery in the charred rectory
July 11, 2011
By John P. Martin, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
CLEVELAND DEC. 7, 2002 Dan Kane, the business manager at St. Stanislaus, sees the light on his answering machine blinking furiously. He assumes someone has died, maybe even his dad. Instead, most of the messages are from his father, a retired cop who has lived his life in the same house blocks from St. Stan's, refusing to move even as the neighborhood slipped, becoming the kind of place with a dead bolt on every door. He tells Kane a fire is raging at the rectory. Kane rushes to the scene.
Demolition of rectory comes to halt The Church of the Advocate building in N. Phila. is set to be razed. The city historical commission may intervene.
January 18, 2002
By Stephan Salisbury INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The demolition of the rectory building at the historic Church of the Advocate in North Philadelphia has been halted amid confusion over whether the building is protected by the Philadelphia Historical Commission. Yesterday, the city Department of Licenses and Inspections returned to the crumbling former home of social activist the Rev. Paul Washington, who retired as rector of the church 15 years ago, and found the building to be in poor condition, city officials said. L&I had granted a demolition permit at the request of the church a little more than a week ago, after citing the rectory as dangerous last year.
Rectory infused with history may be demolished Episcopal Church of the Advocate trustees approved the move. Preservationists seek to prevent it.

By Stephan Salisbury INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The rectory of the historic Episcopal Church of the Advocate in North Philadelphia, where the Rev. Paul Washington presided for a quarter of a century, has been ordered demolished - even though it may be a protected historic structure and grant money is available to preserve it, city officials and preservationists said. As of last night, legal action was being considered to block work on the building and force city officials to review the propriety of the demolition, which has been ordered by the church's board of trustees.

After they were herded into an upstairs bedroom by an agitated intruder Wednesday night, the Rev. John Killeen and the Rev. Joseph Wallace were both forced to their knees. With their heads down and Father Wallace's wrists tied behind his back, Father Killeen experienced a moment of calm and quiet. "We both thought we were going to be executed," Father Killeen said. "It was just a question of who was going to be first. " The two priests at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church survived and later managed to call the police.

The three-story brick house on South Sycamore Street seems forgotten, tucked in next to a soaring church bell tower, a sprawling cemetery, and a preschool with a new teal paint job. For years, it has been the only old brick building left standing in the Newtown Township's tiny historic district, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Over the last two decades, some of the buildings in the district have had to be torn down. Now the quaint 1884 Victorian house may be the next to go. The owner of the building, St. Andrew's Roman Catholic Church, no longer needs its former rectory and convent.
Van Driver Flees Police, Hits Officer, Is Caught After Foot Chase The Rush-hour Drama Ended When The Suspect Was Captured In A Church Rectory Near The El.
April 30, 1998
By Thomas J. Gibbons Jr., INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The driver of a carjacked minivan led police on a high-speed chase from Kensington to South Philadelphia and back during rush hour last night, then was captured in a church rectory after a dramatic foot pursuit along the tracks of the Frankford El. During the hour-long drama, police fired shots at the van in the area of Fourth and South Streets after the vehicle struck an officer at Second and Moore Streets. The officer was briefly hospitalized with minor injuries. The unidentified suspect, who shinnied 20 feet down a drain pole from the El tracks, was found hiding under the altar inside the nearby Immaculate Conception Church rectory at Front and Pollard Streets in Northern Liberties.

When Val Nehez and Anthony Tyler visited Falls United Methodist Church in 2006, after learning that the former East Falls place of worship and its adjacent rectory were for sale, "there were still prayer books in the pews," she says. The couple immediately made an offer, with plans to transform the church, which had closed a year earlier, into office space for rent and the rectory (half a twin) into their family home. "I was hesitant," Tyler says, "but Val had the vision. " It wasn't a leap of faith.

Delco parish owes priest an apology
November 3, 2014
By Ronnie Polaneczky, Daily News Columnist
THE BANISHMENT of the Rev. Thomas Chang Soo Cho back to South Korea is meant to heal a Catholic community divided by gossip and fear. But it can't happen unless those in Cho's community summon the will to behave like the Christians their faith calls them to be. Everyone was excited when Cho arrived in August 2013 from Seoul, South Korea, for a five-year stint as pastor of St. Augustine Lee Kwang Heon Catholic Community. Part of the Philadelphia Archdiocese, the 250-member community holds services in the basement of Holy Cross Church in Springfield, Delaware County.
Two pictures emerge of priest accused of assaulting altar boy
February 28, 2014
BY DANA DiFILIPPO & MENSAH M. DEAN, Daily News Staff Writers firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-5934
THE LATEST young man to accuse a Philadelphia Catholic priest of molesting him as an altar boy told a jury yesterday that the experience so badly shocked, embarrassed and debilitated him that he turned to drugs, alcohol and multiple suicide attempts before reaching his teens. The slim man, dressed in a white shirt, black tie and slacks, emotionally spoke of being 10 years old in 1997 when the Rev. Andrew McCormick invited him to the priest's rectory bedroom at St. John Cantius Church in Bridesburg.

Chaput removes priest who ran an online business
July 17, 2012

A Roman Catholic Philadelphia priest who has identified himself as "an online business owner" - a avocation not permitted by the church - has been removed as "unsuitable for ministry," Archbishop Charles J. Chaput announced on Sunday The Rev. Geraldo Pinero, former pastor of Incarnation of Our Lord Church, 5105 N.

'Never admit there are other cases,' Msgr. Lynn was told
May 16, 2012
By John P. Martin, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
In 1991, Msgr. William J. Lynn wrote a memo outlining his interview with a man who said he had been molested by the Rev. Michael McCarthy, a longtime teacher at Cardinal O'Hara High School. But Lynn made a mistake, at least in the eyes of his boss at the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Lynn had told the accuser that his was not the first complaint against McCarthy. "Unnecessary statement," the Rev. James E. Molloy, then the assistant vicar for administration, scrawled in the margins of the memo.
Alleged victim of clergy abuse tells of efforts to remove priest
April 17, 2012
By John P. Martin, Inquirer Staff Writer
His was the typical Philadelphia Catholic family, the witness said. Mom and Dad were regulars at Mass. He and his sister helped out at the rectory. And no one was held in higher esteem than a priest. "We were raised with the belief that a priest never did anything wrong," he told a Common Pleas Court jury. In that sense, the man, now 45, echoed other alleged abuse victims at the landmark conspiracy and child-sex abuse trial of two Archdiocese of Philadelphia priests.
West Kensingtons 140-year-old St. Bonifaces is no more
April 12, 2012
By Frank Kummer, Philly.com Staff
St. Boniface Church, a regal brownstone that dominated Norris Square for 140 years, is no more. The church, built in 1872 at the corner of Diamond and Hancock Streets in the West Kensington section of North Philadelphia, was razed as part of a $10 million redevelopment plan to build housing on the site. The adjoining elementary school and rectory building still stands with the goal of incorporating them into the plan. "It's very sad," said Patricia De Carlo, executive director of the Norris Square Civic Association, which is overseeing the project.

CLEVELAND DECEMBER 2002 Since finding a dead priest in the ashes of the St. Stanislaus rectory, detectives have made notable progress. They pulled a .38-caliber bullet from the body of William Gulas, the popular pastor. And they extracted a confession from Daniel Montgomery, the quirky friar and onetime Philadelphia-area honor student who said he had killed Gulas and set the fire. Now, on the second morning after the blaze, more than a dozen officers and firefighters, plus a K-9 dog named Kindle, gather at the scene with a mission: Find the murder weapon.

Philosophy for our times: cutting edge debates and talks from the world's leading thinkers
This Talk
As controversial as ever, and fresh from the success of his book Con Art: Why You Ought to Sell Your Damien Hirsts While You Can, Julian Spalding redefines the notion of conceptual art for the 21st century.
'One of the worlds most outspoken critics' - Intelligence Squared
What to Watch Next
Join the conversation
MikeB on 14/03/2013 1:25pm
Unfortunately, this ends badly. Watch Spalding scam himself believing there is something profound about Picasso's bicycle seat. One could spout the same sort of verbiage to "interpret" Hirst's sheep, something as clever as Spalding's interpretation of Picasso's bicycle seat and handlebars. They look like a bull. So what.
MikeB on 14/03/2013 12:51pm
This is fascinating, but it's an old story. Like all those religious cults that claim to be based on historical miracles, or secular cults like the organic movement, the conceptual art cult is never, never going to go away ... because it has discovered a way to make money.

St. Vincent's Remembered
By Out.com Editors
As the first drugs appeared and government funding increased, people with AIDS began counting their survival in years rather than months. But the death rate kept climbing on the AIDS ward (and in New York City) until July 1995, when the initial impact of combination therapy began bending the curve. By then, the AIDS ward had been open for a decade and had developed its own special rules, rituals, and rhythms. While life hardly moved to a disco beat, gay men had certainly succeeded in resizing the "sevens" to their own liberated dimensions. The unusually sensitive nursing staff understood that this is what an authentic community hospital at the intersection between the West Village and Chelsea, not to mention gay life and death, looked like.
Mark Chambers
My first time as a patient on the AIDS ward was in '98. I had a heart attack. I was 42. It had nothing to do with the condition of my heart and everything to do with protease inhibitors. And to tell you the truth, at first it was a little scary: I mean, the people there had AIDS -- imagine that!
The next summer, I developed very serious stomach problems. My doctor, Paul Bellman, sent me to the ER. They did a CAT scan, found an abscess in my intestine, and immediately did exploratory surgery. They wound up removing a foot of my small intestine because it was ulcerated, which they came back and told me was non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I was told I had [the bacterial infection] MAI. I was told I had [the viral infection] CMV. They were giving me IV drugs that totally blew out my veins, so they put a Mediport in my chest—and within minutes, I've got a grapefruit-size bump on my chest. The nurse brings the surgeon, the surgeon brings the nurse. I'm off all my HIV meds because of the pending chemo. In the midst of all that, I still felt like they were taking care of me. I felt safe.
On my second visit, when I was there a lot longer, my boyfriend at the time helped make the room my own. And this was the case in a lot of people's rooms. They brought in all the memorabilia from home. All their own blankets, pillows, photographs, artwork, books -- whatever it took to make the person feel at home. And the staff supported that.
Sex was a little nerve-racking because you never knew who was going to walk through the door. The drill was we closed the door, pulled the curtain, and got on with it. One time my partner brought a third party along -- rather than bring flowers, you could bring a dick or an ass.
Lee Raden
All you could really do was help make whoever's life you came in touch with a little bit more comfortable. And if that involved their families, their friends, whatever, we tried to do it. We were writing it as we went along. And we made an awful lot of decisions autonomously, and we did things that were probably scandalous in other people's eyes.
We let patients smoke. We didn't have visiting hours. We let people spend the night in beds with their partner. We let people camp out in the rooms and on the floors and in the chairs for weeks at a time. There'd be people in drag. We would sneak people out on Gay Pride to go out to the parade: "Went down for a CAT scan," you know. There were even nurses who worked up there who were themselves trannies.

The next night, Harmon, along with co-host Jamie Tisch, helped Tamara Mellon celebrate the opening of Jimmy Choo's first Rodeo Drive boutique. "This is amazing," Mellon said of the throng. "I wish there could be this many people here every day." In fact, so many eager partygoers showed up that Mellon pals Vanessa Getty, Crystal Lourd and Elizabeth Wiatt stood outside with their noses practically pressed against the glass door as Jimmy Choo ceo Joshua Schulman monitored the number of bodies out in order to let more in. "Maybe I should leave so Rachel Zoe can get in," said Cameron Silver, glancing at the mob outside. Those who did make it inside did so because either they arrived early (Lauren Conrad) or carried more clout (Harvey Weinstein).
There was a bit more breathing room the next night at the Art of Elysium gala downtown at St. Vibiana's cathedral, where a black-tie event and fashion show — sponsored by Vogue, Cartier and Ford — took place in the enormous courtyard. "It is nice to get dressed up this weekend for something," said Rachel Bilson, who minded the train of her white Dior gown. The event, chaired by Balthazar and Rosetta Getty, drew cast members of Balthazar Getty's show "Brothers & Sisters" (Calista Flockhart and Sally Field), Ashley Olsen, Camilla Belle, Rumer Willis, Courteney Cox Arquette plus a few in-laws (Patricia and Rosanna), and a few more Gettys (Vanessa, Billy, Jacqui, Peter and Anna). After the candlelit dinner, the crowd, led by Kate Walsh, kicked up its heels to a rousing performance by South American guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela. How to top that? "Next year Baz Luhrmann is doing the production," whispered Rosetta Getty.

Soon it will be springMake more compost!
Dear readers, welcome to my first gardening column of the New Year. I warn you though: it's pure garbage.
Yes folks, it appears we are going to be hearing a whole lot about garbage in the coming months as both Block Island and the entire state confront the fact that we all produce far too much of it. Legislation is being proposed to mandate food composting, starting with large institutions such as colleges and hospitals and eventually spreading to restaurants and other businesses. The state landfill in Johnston, where Block Island sends its trash, only has an estimated 25 years before it fills. We can no longer kick the can down the road. (Apologies to those who have been recycling for years; I just couldn't resist.)
There's gold in that garbage, though — black gold. Evidently a major type of waste going into the Johnston Landfill is food scraps, and much of that comes from restaurants. Somewhere out there is an opportunity for some creative entrepreneurs. But that is on a grand scale, and I believe, that while we wait to see what happens with the proposed legislation, the baby steps we can make at home can make a great difference. According to the article about this issue in the Jan. 18 edition of The Block Island Times, so does the RI Resources Recovery Corporations (RIRRC). In that article, Sarah Kite, Director of Recycling Services at the RIRRC, is quoted as saying:
"Anything the island can do to encourage more backyard composting will result in reductions of food waste. Composting is beneficial to everybody."
"Black gold" is an affectionate term gardeners have given to compost. Years ago, I wrote that "compost is the mainstay of organic gardeners." However, it has spread well beyond that then still-small movement. Rich in nutrients, organic matter and microbes, it can transform ordinary dirt into the extraordinary. It can restore soils stripped of their nutrients and loam from the overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Best of all, it can be made at home, at least on a small scale, saving one money both at the garden center and at the landfill.
So why wait until someone says you have to do it? The only thing wrong with making compost is that all the articles on it make it seem so darned difficult. They somehow have turned the simple concept that all vegetable matter will eventually break down into a daunting science. One must have the proper set-up, the proper ingredients in the proper quantities, and a lot of muscle to turn garbage into gold. The mixture must be tossed regularly, the temperature must be right. Do I have to mail order worms? It is as complicated as baking a cake from scratch.
Or is it? A compost pile can be as simple as an enclosure made of cement blocks, spare wood, or a few pallets strung together, or as fancy as... well, evidently, $20,000 can get you a restaurant composter that can grind up, aerate and perform all kinds of other magical, excuse me, scientific tricks on hundreds of pounds of food scraps per day. Somewhere in between are those tumbler units that look like little green cement mixers.
The ingredients of a compost pile are important; but here again, the how-to articles go from the simple, vernacular of "green" and "brown" to the more scientific carbon-producing and nitrogen-producing. Let's go with green and brown. "Green ingredients" (the nitrogen-producing ones) include raw vegetables scraps of any color as well as coffee grounds, eggshells and fruit peels. Sea-weed, grass clippings and manure are all nitrogen producers as well. "Brown ingredients" (the carbon producing ones) include dried, decaying leaves, straw, wood chips, shavings and even sawdust, but used coffee filters and paper towels will do.
There is some need to achieve a balance between the green and brown materials, but one can get a feel for this as one goes along. Too many fresh grass clippings added at the same time can end up a slimy mess.
The only things that shouldn't get tossed into the pile are meat and dairy products, not because they won't break down, but because they may attract rodents. But do realize that your compost will, ultimately, only be as organic as what you put into it. Those orange peels could be introducing chemical pesticides you may not otherwise have used in your garden. Likewise, it is not recommended to use sawdust or shavings from pressure treated wood.
And then there are the microbes and the worms, the ones who do all the magical work. They simply eat the raw stuff and poop out the good stuff. As they munch, heat is produced that not only speeds up the process but supposedly kills weed seeds and roots. (I'm not completely buying that, having had pumpkins come up in the roses, so we do take precautions by throwing weeds into another pile where they will have much longer to break down.) A few shovelfuls of ordinary soil from your yard introduced as a "starter" to a beginning compost pile will probably provide all that you need, and make them very happy as well. If not, one may add a bit of horse or cow manure. So, no, you needn't mail order worms.
Another way in which the making of compost is made overly complicated is the tossing requirement. Tossing the compost aerates it and speeds up the decaying process, but one needn't do this on a daily or even a weekly basis. A pile that is regularly tossed a few times per week can transform itself in a mere six weeks, but one that does not receive such attention will still eventually break down.
Even though it's winter and the compost pile is somewhat dormant, we still add to it regularly, although, truth be told, this may be benefitting the deer more than the garden. At least we have diverted our food scraps from going to Johnston. A "garbage bowl" sits on the kitchen counter and gets emptied onto our pile every few days. It's actually quite amazing how quickly that bowl fills up and since we are coffee drinkers, the daily coffee filter seems to provide plenty of "brown" material.
By the time we are ready to do our spring plantings, that pile will provide us with wonderful rich compost, returning the nutrients gleaned from it the year before in the form of edibles. All it took was a bowl, a pitchfork and some concrete blocks.
And so, I will end with a sage old saying: "What goes around, comes around."
