There are going to be some double takes in Lakeland, Florida, today. After years of sticking to his guns and taking an incredible amount of abuse for it, ANN's Jim Campbell gets to take something of a victory lap today -- with a set of recently issued media credentials from the Sun 'n Fun Fly-In.
We won't belabor the story for the moment. Years ago, after some hard-hitting and inescapably difficult stories that did not please the (then) leadership of the Lakeland event, it was made perfectly clear that Jim could either change his stories to be more pro-Lakeland... or he'd be VERY unwelcome. To this day, ANN and Campbell have NEVER backed down from telling the truth, and while things have apparently changed at Lakeland Linder Airport (and most of the old guard have departed the premises... some under 'interesting' circumstances), NO pre-conditions were demanded before the issuance of the credentials ANYONE at ANN will work under this week and we think that's a good thing.
That's 'progress' and it only took the better part of a decade for the event to finally recognize that the Constitution of the United States is a real, vital and amazing document -- and that a few aero-journalists (at least one, anyway) still believe in it. In Jim's case, that belief means ALL its rights AND responsibilities, and enough belief and faith in what our Founding Fathers intended, to take an incredible amount of abuse, flak, harassment, and derision so that aviation journalism wouldn't be a total joke.
Jim hasn't said too much about it, as yet. He simply wants "to do my job..." and will (no doubt) opine at a later date about what this means, what he sees, what he learns and what that portends for ANN, and possibly, the rest of the aviation industry.
In the meantime, he's on the field, he's doing his job and he continues to be TOTALLY dedicated to making sure that what he reports is the unvarnished, unmanipulated truth. Be sure to say HI! when you see him... he'll be the guy asking for directions. It's been quite a while since he set foot in these parts.

From Bra Straps to Butterfly Clips: The 18 Hair Accessory Trends We'll Never Forget
What's the perfect add-on to your beauty look? A hair accessory, of course! Just when you think you've seen it all, every year there seems to be a new "it" hair piece that rules the moment. In the '50s, a dainty bow-tied head scarf was perfectly housewife-chic. In the '60s and '70s, real flower crowns officially became the epitome of boho style—your outfit simply wasn't complete without a daisy topper. Fast-forward to the '90s and you had a bevy of creative hair charms and baubles, including butterfly clips, hair wraps and those infamous bra strap headbands (shudder).
While some of these accessories have cycled their way back into fashion, many have thankfully stayed in their decade for good. Above, in no particular order, you'll find the most memorable hair accessories of the last 50 years.

Buddha Buzz: Chinese Policing Tibetan Areas Suffer from PTSDFrance24 reporter Cyril Payen recently brought new interviews and images out of Tibet that reveal a dire human rights situation resembling "an Orwellian world of surveillance." Nicholas Bequelin with Human Rights Watch contends that "the situation in Tibet is as bad as it's ever been," adding that "Chinese police forces are now running what could be called a major counter-insurgency operation in Lhasa." The problem, says Bequelin, is that there is no real insurgency in Tibet. And with the visible increase of surveillance, the emergence of one is unlikely. More »

China jails three Buddhist nuns over "Free Tibet" protestvia monstersandcritics.com, Beijing - Three Tibetan Buddhist nuns were sentenced to three years in prison by a court in south-western China's Sichuan province after they called for freedom and the return of the exiled Dalai Lama, a human rights group said Friday.The court in Sichuan's restive Kardze county sentenced the three women after they shouted slogans, including 'free Tibet' and 'let the Dalai Lama return to Tibet,' the India-based Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy reported on its website. The group quoted sources in Kardze as saying that officials confirmed that Jampa Choedon, 31, Sheh Lhamo, 21, and Yangchen, 28, were sentenced on July 2.The nuns from Kardze's Gyemadrak Nunnery were arrested on June 15 during a protest in the county town's main street, it said.

Happy Birthday Aung San Suu Kyi!We would like to wish Aung San Suu Kyi a happy 65th birthday today. Sadly however, the Burmese opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner will be celebrating while still detained under house arrest in Rangoon. Yesterday, in celebration of her birthday, a series of previously unreleased photographs of Aung San Suu Kyi and her family were made available to the public. As reported by guardian.co.uk, She is known to the world as a human rights activist who has spent 14 of the last 20 years under house arrest as punishment for demanding democracy in her home country. But in these photographs Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is shown not as the fearless campaigner who has given up her liberty for the sake of her nation, but as a young woman in love and a doting mother.

Xbox One reigned supreme at Target and Walmart on Black Friday
Black Friday is many things, few of them are considered good, but most are full of interesting adjectives. When it comes to gaming, especially in a year like this where both Microsoft and Sony released new consoles, Black Friday is a huge day for gaming and can help to dictate how the holiday season will go. So of course the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were huge points of contention for Black Friday shoppers, especially with most retailers holding back their stock of both consoles until Black Friday to lure customers into stores as opposed to selling them online. While not every company's sales are made as public as Target and Walmart, their information is readily available and according to Infoscout the Xbox One and Xbox 360 were the best-sellers this Black Friday.
Sure, the quotes and some of the metrics seem rather dubious or just downright ridiculous, but it is a solid look as to how Black Friday played out for all of those out there who are deeply entrenched in the ridiculous concept of "console wars" still. I feel like the numbers might not tell the whole story in this, as they are most likely talking about dollars and not units (but who knows?) and that the PlayStation 4 is rather scarce at the moment, possibly a bit more scarce than the Xbox One in some markets.
Were you actually able to pick one up on Black Friday, or are you waiting for online stocks to pick up again before purchasing one to avoid dealing with the strangely long lines at Best Buy stores or having to stand around with the People of Walmart?

Latest from Dave Walsh
XB1 outsold PS4 simply because PS4 came out a week earlier and nearly EVERYONE was sold out of it. Didn't help that Black Friday was during the European PS4 release so most of Sony's consoles went overseas. I checked locally and every single Target, Best Buy, and Walmart I called in my district was sold out of PS4s (over 15 stores).
Hell, Wii-U probably outsold PS4 on Black Friday too lol!
Both are great consoles, if people can afford either they should be happy and just enjoy playing great games.
Walmart has 100 Xbox One's in stock. Walmart also has 20 PS4's in stock. It's Black Friday, and everyone is punching people in the face to get a discounted towel. There are one thousand overweight hungry meat sacks in the store searching for bargains, and using credit cards to pay for things they can't afford. In this equation meat sacks are humans. Which console sold more?

Low-Carbing Among Friends cookbook, what are the recipes you've tried?
I know a whole bunch of us have Jen's new cookbook and I thought it would be fun for anyone who tries a recipe from the cookbook to rate it and tell us how you liked it. I just got mine, so I haven't tried anything yet. What do you all think?
Great idea..I've made 3 things..Let me get my book.
No Bake Peanut Butter Bars..page 199...very rich and very good..I sprinkled some salted nut pieces on the top for a little crunch
Pecan Turtle Bars..page 195...very rich..and very good.
Notato Gnocchi...page 249..a bit disappointing..too much coconut flavor for me.
Thanks Carolyn. I have just got to start cooking. Julie
This thread is a GREAT idea! I think it's good to mention the name of the cookbook too as Jen has many, and more coming - this one is "Low Carbing Among Friends" and is probably volume 1! :)
Char, you are right Volume 1. I just got shipping info on my book (thanks to Jen), and they listed it as: Low Carbing Among Friends: Low-carb and Gluten-free V1 (Low Carbing Among Friends, Volume-1).
I should get mine next week.
I can't stand it, what is the name of the cook book?
I'm going to try one of the cauliflower recipes, I thin it's Maria's. I'll report back.
Jen's Cookbook Recipes
Out of Jen's new book Low Carbing Among Friends I have made:
Sandwich Bread. So good I make it every 10-12 days.
Pumpkin Frosted Cookies, my husband wants them as a staple
Trying the Chocolate Chunk Cookies today.
Jen posted a chocolate chip cookie today in my mail.
Choco Chip Gluten Free Cookies
From Jennifer Eloff
Using Jennifers GF Bake Mix
2 eggs
Liquid sucralose to equal 1 cup
SPLENDA® Granular
1/2 cup granulated erythritol
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
11/2 cups almond flour
1 1/4 cups Gluten-Free Bake Mix
*1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups sugarless chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat oven to 375°F Spray large cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In food processor, process eggs, liquid sucralose, OR SPLENDA® Granular, erythritol, butter and vanilla extract. In large bowl, combine almond flour, Gluten-Free Bake Mix, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture and process at least one minute. Stir in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Let cookie dough rest 10 minutes.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Allow to cool at least 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Transfer to a plate and place in freezer. Refrigerate later or keep in freezer in an airtight container.
Yield: 34 cookies

· I added ¼ tsp. b. p. Used a small ice cream scoop.
· The cookies didnt flatten.
· I chilled 10 minutes before baking. Barbo
I think, Barbo, your cookies should spread quite a bit like mine did, but since you chilled the dough, that might have made the difference as the butter might have been too cold to spread as much. Also the extra leavening could have made a small difference. :)
Great minds think alike! I just posted the recipe. :D Here it is:
Made the Ginger Beer and making Chocolate Chuck cookies today.
Last night I made Smoked Gouda Cauliflower Pg. 45, recipe from Buttoni. This was so very good. My son requested it for Christmas Dinner instead of Twice Baked Potatoes. Grandson said I agree. Julie
Barbo-I am looking for the pumpkin frosted cookies and dont seem to be able to find them in the new book--can you share what page they are on? I didnt see them in the index either? Thanks so much--I am really wanting a good cookie!
If you like gingerale (and I do) and like carbonation, then it is very good. I did add more than the 2 tablespoons of ginger syrup, as I like a stronger taste of it in my beverage.
I can see also using it to flavor tea, which I drink daily with my lunch. I will warn you, it makes a lot. :yummy:
I made the Walnut Chocolate Chip Blondies on pg 193 They are great tasting but I think it calls for a lot of walnut oil. Next time I would use half the amount
Jen's Choco Chunk or Chip Cookies
They are just wonderful...We froze ours and then nuked them for
about 12 seconds for a perfect 'out of the oven' type cookie.
No after taste. I used mini-chips and pecans. OH:jumpjoy:
Here is what I have for the Frosted Pumpkin Cookie with Pecan
Pumpkin Cookies with Frosting
Pre-Heat oven to 350 Spray Cookie Sheet
2 eggs
1-cup butter, softened

Jens blueberry muffins from new book
I am supposed to be cleaning. But made cookies and muffins instead they look so good. I have not tried one yet.
Wow Brenda they look great. I want my book, I want my book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got my copy yesterday and I just happened to have bought a bag of frozen wild blueberries at Whole Foods last week so I'm making blueberry muffins tonight.
Loving all the reviews, my book's got post-its sticking out all over.
I also got all of Jen's other book a couple weeks ago but haven't had a chance to really look thru them since my father has been ill but he's doing better and I'm thinking I might have some free time coming up this weekend.
Hey, Brenda - you're having fun! :) Your muffins look great. I have a pic of those on my blog too, I think. I only made them once, but I remember they were quite nice.
Rose, I think you will get your book this week - if not, email me. It's weird -all the books got sent out Nov. 30th but they arrive at different times....sometimes even in the same State - different days.
Thank you, Pam. :hugs:
Thanks, Barbo. I think I gave another frosting recipe - The Betty Crocker one. The pumpkin cookie is not in the cookbook; maybe I will put it in the next one. :) The recipe is on my blog, but maybe next week, I'll share it here for convenience.
Thanks Barbo and Jen for clarifying where that pumpkin cookie recipe was--I thought I was just missing it somewhere in the new cookbook! I will be making them this weekend or next week for sure... Thanks again
I bought my Walnut Oil @ the local Krogers. I live 35 miles from FT Worth so we don't have Whole Foods near us. I never thought about Wal Mart but they might have it too. :dunno:
Today for Dinner I made Sausage & Sage Unstuffed pg 248
Amazing!! It did taste like stuffing. The cauliflower does have to be shredded very finely as the instructions say.
My muffins r great. Light and fluffy inside. Not real dense. Taste like a non lowcarb muffin.. Heated one up and put on a smidge of butter and had it with my morning coffee. I have a church breakfast Saturday morning and I will be bringing my own muffin so I don't get tempted to eat one of those BAD ones. Lol
Yay, I am so glad the experiments are turning out great for the most part. Most of you are pretty savvy in the kitchen, so hope we get a good passing grade for most of our recipes. I actually find it very interesting to hear your results. Brenda - it's wonderful to hear you like the muffins. I can relate - very tempting at church get-togethers.
Many more recipes coming in the 2 books planned for 2012 and 3 new authors - Jimmy Moore, Judy Barnes Baker and Ginny Larsen in volume 3.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: DALLAS—The Dallas Film Society, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that celebrates films and their impact on society, will honor screen and theatre legend, John Lithgow at its annual fall fundraising event The Art of Film on November 18, 2011, at the Hall of State, Fair Park.
Two-time Academy Award nominee and winner of two Golden Globe Awards, five Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, John Lithgow will be presented with the Dallas Star Award during an evening that will celebrate the vast achievements of his career.
The following day, November 19, the Dallas Film Society will screen a retrospective of two of Lithgow's most famous films. The Art of Film will have 350 film fans have dinner and be a part of an intimate conversation with Lithgow and renowned film critic, Elvis Mitchell.
"The Dallas Film Society created The Art of Film to be a celebration of an extraordinary career," said James Faust, Artistic Director of the DALLAS Film Society. "2012 will mark John Lithgow's 40th year on stage and screen and one can only marvel at his achievements of the past four decades. He is a rare breed – he acts, sings, dances, writes and in all of these skill sets he consistently delivers a standard that others can only try to emulate. John Lithgow is a true star and I am humbled and honored that we will have the opportunity to pay homage to him and put his accomplishments on a pedestal."
The DALLAS Film Society honors individuals who have made important contributions to modern cinema and the advancement of the art of film. Lithgow joins a list of luminaries who have received the Steuben Crystal Dallas Star Award, courtesy of Neiman Marcus. Previous recipients have included Frank Darabont, Adrien Brody, Lauren Bacall, Sydney Pollack, Charlize Theron, John Lee Hancock, Kathryn Bigelow, Francis Ford Coppola, Helen Hunt, Marvin Hamlisch, Peter Bogdanovich, Robert Towne and 2010 The Art of Film Honoree, Robert Duvall.
Lithgow's interests and talents span all areas of the entertainment industry: theatre, film, television and author of eight New York Times best-selling children's picture books. In 1973, he won a Tony Award three weeks after his Broadway debut in David Storey's The Changing Room. Since then, he appeared on Broadway 19 times, earning another Tony for "Sweet Smell of Success," three Tony Award nominations and four Drama Desk Awards, as well as being inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame. He is one of a few American actors invited to join The Royal Shakespeare Company.
On screen, Lithgow began to make a major mark in the early 1980s. At that time, he was nominated for Academy Awards in back-to-back years for The World According To Garp (1982) and Terms Of Endearment (1983). In the years before and after, he has appeared in over thirty films.
For television, Lithgow has been nominated for eleven Emmy Awards. Three of the five Emmy Awards he has won are perhaps for his most celebrated creation as Dick Solomon on the hit NBC comedy series 3rd Rock From The Sun. Following the show's six year-run, Lithgow earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has recently found new success in television drama with Showtime's Dexter.
"Education is the cornerstone of the DALLAS Film Society's mission," said Tanya Foster, chief executive of the Dallas Film Society. "Through The Art of Film, we can raise money and awareness to support this mission and help educate the next generation of filmmakers. Honoring John Lithgow also serves to motivate anyone interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. He has not only done it all, he has done it with style and class and that to me, is inspirational."
Individual tickets from $250 are available for purchase, and underwriting opportunities are available from $2,500-$35,000. Tickets for the screenings the next day are free for The Art of Film guests and members of the Dallas Film Society.

Earlier this week, Amazon unveiled their new cloud data warehouse, Amazon Redshift. The cost advantages of housing data with Amazon's cloud solution rather than investing in the infrastructure for an on-site solution is clear: Redshift will cost about $1,000 per terabyte per year (fully managed/monitored) as opposed to around $20,000 per terabyte per year if it was used in-house.
Redshift may seem similar to Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), the data solution previously available from Amazon. However, Redshift will be used exclusively for big data warehousing and analytics, and is scalable. RDS is simply not designed to do petabyte-scale data warehousing because it's based on a Microsoft SQL server.
What Information Week has highlighted as a real market disruption is Redshift's accessibility to small to midsize businesses, allowing them to get into data warehousing at a very low cost.

I can't believe that Blair would wager her beloved Dorota in a bet with Chuck ("What are you staring at? Go polish something"). But it is a nice sign that my favorite TV servant is becoming a bigger pawn in this game. Now, Dorota's on Facebook! I love it! Perhaps Dorota's exploration of Facebook will lead to some story lines for her newly announced webisode spin-offs? Back to the Chuck and Blair bet, the two challenged each other to find their respective dates and, quite humorously, produced two doppelgängers, complete with shiny clothing and headbands. While bizarro Chuck and Blair found love or at least lust, the real McCoy's had to settle for a classy — albeit still hot — slow dance. Can't these crazy kids work things out! Still, there wasn't enough Chuck and Blair in this episode. I need less focus on Aaron and, by that, I mean I'd like the camera to be completely out of focus when they film him.
Remember how The OC's Kirsten always organized like every single party in Newport? Lily is totes the Kirsten of Gossip Girl. I wonder how Rufus can just cut out of work and help out, though. Doesn't someone have to run that gallery? Clearly Vanessa's not there now that's she's taking the Nate train to ho-ville. That was a nice moment though between Lily and Rufus at the dance when she told him she was leaving Bart and asked for a dance. Those two are my favorite current GG couple. Even better was their heart-to-heart when Rufus told her he regretted letting her go on her wedding day. Can't these crazy kids work things out!
Well...actually....It looks like they might be able to, now that Bart has been in an accident, a.k.a. peace out, scary dude. If scenes from next week are any indication, we've seen the last of the elder Bass. But it looks like the best is still to come with Chuck learning Lily's secret and selling it to the highest bidder.
All in all, it was hardly my favorite GG episode. It actually kinda bored me. Solution? More Chuck and Blair! More Chuck and Blair! (Chant with me TV Watchers!) More Chuck and Blair!
What did you think of last night's Gossip Girl? What is Lily's secret? Do you think Nate and Vanessa are meant to be?

So i see tropical storm cindy is forming do you guys think this is going to bring any swell in nj?

On deck is Don. Followed by Emily, Franklin, Gert, Harvey, Irene, Jose, Katia, Lee, Maria, Nate, Ophelia, Philippe, Rina, Sean, Tammy, Vince, and finally Whitney. We got a long way to go.
I'm losing it man. IM LOSING it

Alina Szapocznikow, "Sculpture Undone: 1955-1972"
Midtown East
Fri Nov 23 2012
- $$$
Time Out says
Posted: Mon Sep 3 2012
Until a very recent revival of her work, Alina Szapocznikow (1926–1973) was virtually unknown in this country, though she was well regarded in her native Poland, where she began her career in sculpture as a practitioner of the officially sanctioned Socialist Realist style. In time, her art evolved into something that resembled the efforts of such contemporaries as Louise Bourgeois, Lynda Benglis and Eva Hesse: a feminist-tinged mix of image and abstraction that often evoked the female body. For Szapocznikow, this meant literally employing life casts taken from various parts of her own face and torso to create eerie, unsettling objects that sometimes took the form of everyday items like ashtrays and lamps.

Obtaining Life Insurance
May 9th, 2014
Most people do not enjoy having to pay for life insurance, which makes them want to cancel out their policy. With the price of life insurance and the instability of the economy, it is no wonder why people believe the money they spend on their policy could be used for something else. But, just think, if you were to cancel out your policy and the worse were to happen to you, how would your family afford the bills and other monthly expenses? It is important to have a life insurance policy, especially if you are the only one with an income in your home.
Let's say you were to get into a terrible accident and you passed away; if you have a life insurance policy, your funeral and related expenses would be paid for. No one wants to think about their death, but it is something that needs to be thought of. It would be terrible for your family to have to worry about money as they mourn your death.
In addition to paying for both your funeral and burial, most life insurance policies will provide your family with money for a year (and sometimes more) after your death. This means your family can properly mourn your death for some time before having to think about where to get money from.
You may be having trouble keeping up with the current price of your life insurance policy. If this is the problem you are having, you may want to look around for other policies. Speak with a few of the best life insurance companies and compare their rates. Most policies for non-smokers and those who work in a low-risk field are not pricy at all. You can get good coverage for a cheap price. The tiny amount you pay each month for your policy is worth knowing your loved ones will be taken care of, should you die.

Dear Visitor! Let us invite you for a short virtual walk in Kalocsa, the town which is almost as old as the foundation of the Hungarian State and is one of the oldest cities of our country. We tried to collect you all the treasure we are so proud of and is so typical of us living here.
Forrás: A városnéző videót köszöjük a Kalocsa Korona Toursnak!
Our town is a real, lovely little town by River Danube where the air is clean and you can take a sightseeing tour by bike, learn about handcraft, immerse in local traditions, admire the treasure collected by the archbishops over a thousand years and also have a rest tasting delicious paprika dishes, as Kalocsa is the capital of growing spice paprika.
In the heart of the downtown you can discover one of the nicest Baroque Cathedrals of Hungary with its magnificent Angster organ which was even played by composer Franz Liszt in the 19th century who acknowledged it.
Near the Cathedral you can catch sight of the Archiepiscopal Palace surrounded by horse chestnut trees and the Holy Trinity Square where the open-air Christmas Crib is placed before Christmas. In the evenings the story of the Three Magi is presented by local people. The 18th century buildings of the square still preserve the historical atmosphere of the place. You can discover all the reminiscences of the one thousand-year-old past in these buildings and the institutes operating there.
The Archiepiscopal Library is uniquely rich in codices and incunabula dating back to the first centuries of book printing. The main attraction of the library is definitely the Baroque reading room furnished with great care and artistic sense by Archbishop Ádám Patachich (1732-1784). The Archiepiscopal Treasury and Archives preserve a remarkably varied collection to present the history of the one thousand-year-old Kalocsa Archbishopric.
In addition to the outstanding repertory of birth, marriage and death register, it also offers plenty of information on local education, economy, politics and public life, law court as well as documents of church administration. It is obvious, as the archbishops of the diocese governed huge country districts in the Middle Ages and they even lead the army in patriotic fights.
In the 19th century Kalocsa was developed to become a school town which gave home to prominent Hungarian institutes. Saint Stephen Secondary Grammar School can boast of a still operating observatory which was established by Archbishop Lajos Haynald in the former Jesuit Grammar School.
The extraordinarily thorough Sun observations made by Jesuit monk astronomer Gyula Fényi made Kalocsa more noted than Budapest for the astronomers of the 19th and 20th century. Based on the spiritual heritage of this historical past every year we organize the Blue Bird Festival of Charity associated to the name of bassoonist György Lakatos. This event has become a real gem of Hungarian cultural life over the past 20 years.
We may say that the locals do not just maintain traditions, but actually live in them. The typical Kalocsa folk art motifs are well-known everywhere as they appear on folk costumes – even nowadays a lot of people are involved in embroidery making and some elderly ladies still wear folk costumes in the street every day – and they can also be discovered on the walls of houses due to the skilful hands of painting women or on the deservedly famous Kalocsa porcelain.
The products of the Kalocsa Porcelain Painting Manufacture have been featured by the media several times nowadays. Also Prince William and Princess Catherine appreciated the tea service decorated with beautiful old Kalocsa motifs which was sent to them by Kalocsa town to congratulate on their wedding.
McLaren pilots Louis Hamilton and Jensen Button were presented with hand-painted porcelain cups by the Kalocsa delegation attending the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2011.
In 2012 Tamás Nádas stunt pilot world champion flew the Kalocsa folk art motif up to the sky and at the World Championship organized in Hungary he could step on the first place on the winners' stand in his overalls decorated with the same motifs.
Fashion designer Tünde Hrivnák created a collection called By Me Spacy and by this she could prove that these old-time folk art motifs look not only elegant on modern garments but they also make them unique. This collection has already been presented in numerous countries of the world, which suggests that the local folk costume is definitely a living tradition of our nation and it also meets the requirements of modern time fashion.
Children literally grow into folk dancing in our town and region. Folk dance ensembles and art schools have thousands of members. The Folk Dance Festival along River Danube, which has been organized for several decades, demonstrates all the folk dance groups along the river and also numerous foreign dance groups are eager to return and take part in the popular six-day-long event.
It happened in the 20th century that the folk art of the town and the locally produced spice paprika started to gain reputation all over the world. The houses in Kalocsa and nearby are decorated in a very special way in autumn. Strings of red peppers form a beautiful red carpet between the eaves and windows. This is the traditional way of desiccating pepper pods before grinding. The air is filled with the sweet, piquant fragrance of paprika. The Paprika Museum was placed in an old building belonging to the church in the centre of the town.
The exhibition gives a thorough presentation of the history of Hungarian spice paprika. The sight and smell of pepper strings hung on the beams enhances the experience for visitors. The locally made paprika dishes, such as the Kalocsa fish soup, tripe and cellar stew are deservedly famous. The Kalocsa Paprika Festival is an outstanding event of our multicoloured gastronomy. As a part of the festival the cooking competition of paprika dishes is organized every year.
Museum Károly Viski must also be mentioned here, as it became The Museum of the Year in 2002. History and folk life are demonstrated together in the exhibition halls of the museum. The 200-year-old country house, which was built on a small heap of ground and the Bakod Horse Farm also form an organic part of our past. Visitors can learn about folk art, local traditions, life in the old-time farms and animal keeping.
The beautiful bank of River Danube and Lake Szelid, the gem hidden among poplars are also regarded to be main tourist attractions thanks to the medicinal water and nice surroundings which attract lots of tourists here in summer.
Returning to the heart of the town we can finish our walk in the Park which was planted and looked after by the Archbishops over the centuries.
We do hope that after taking this virtual walk you will feel like strolling in Kalocsa individually as well. We look forward to welcoming you to our town.

"Champion's Night" on Sunday, January 9 will honor the Stealth's 2010 National Lacrosse League title with the raising of the championship banner and ring presentation to players and coaches. The new Stealth mascot will also be making his first ever appearance that evening.
The second home game is on Friday, January 14 against the Minnesota Swarm. It's "Mascot Fever" as the Stealth's new mascot gets comfortable in his new home at the Comcast Arena and invites his mascot friends from area sports teams and around the NLL for an evening of mascot shenanigans.
The Stealth don't return home again until Saturday, February 12, when they take on West Division rival Edmonton Rush on "60s Night". 60s-themed contests and a costume competition revolving around one of history's greatest decades will make this night one for the ages.
Friday, February 18 is "Poster Night" at the Comcast Arena as the Stealth take on the Colorado Mammoth. Create a poster to cheer on the Stealth to win prizes and receive the 2011 Stealth team and Bombshells posters on a night when your artistic skills and clever lines take center stage.
The Roughnecks will be back in town on Sunday, March 13 for the Stealth's "Go Green, Get Lucky". This event will celebrate St. Patrick's Day a few days early and in honor of this green holiday, the Stealth will help their fans get eco-friendly.
Friday, March 25 will be the first "Chowder Cup" as the Boston Blazers come to town. It's a night to show off your Northwest pride against a rival from the Northeast.
The Minnesota Swarm will be at the Comcast Arena on Saturday, April 9 for the Stealth's annual "Pink in the Rink" event to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation. There will be a Stealth auction, featuring game-used gear from Stealth players and items from area sports teams. Last year, the event raised over $10,000 for breast cancer research.
The last regular season game on the home schedule is Saturday, April 16 against the Rochester Knighthawks. "Fan Appreciation Night" will feature contests and giveaways all to thank the fans for their support of the Washington Stealth.
The Stealth plays all of their games at the Comcast Arena at Everett, located just 29 miles north of Seattle. For more information on the Comcast Arena, visit www.comcastarenaeverett.com.

Media outlets around the world are reporting that Houston has elected an "openly gay mayor." Technically, of course, this is inaccurate. Houston hasn't elected a gay mayor; it has elected a lesbian mayor. I've heard some spirited debate already today about whether it's appropriate or offensive to call Annise Parker gay, even if it's just to save space in a headline. But I was curious to know what our readers think.

Breaking News: Ironmen's Eric Humphreys OUT for Chicago
- Updated: June 15, 2012 at 9:51 PM
This evening PaintballAccess.com reported that Eric Humpheries, #22, of the Los Angeles Ironmen would not be playing in the 2012 Chicago Open due to a broken toe (big toe on the right foot) [big toe on the left foot?] that he sustained in a "warehouse accident" and will have to undergo surgery to implant pins into the broken bone.
Analyst Lawrence Abernathy had this to say: "This is a major loss for the Ironmen as Eric has been a lynchpin in the success of the team so far this season. As PaintballAccess reported, Eric has played in eighty-nine points during the two events of the PSP, which is tied with Houston Heat player Konstantin Fedorov (#88, Front; 14 PBA Rank) for the most points in the league. Humphrey is currently ranked the 20th best overall and the 9th best front player in the PSP. He has not had a spectacular year in terms of offensive firepower and he is only averaging 5.09 eliminations a match, however he has won 60.67% of the points he has played in, stayed alive in 76.55% of those points and has received zero penalties all season. PaintballAccess is also reporting that to fill the void left by Humphreys the Ironmen are picking up Raney Stanczak, formerly of San Diego Dynasty and the disbanded San Diego Aftermath, and that Humphreys is expected to return to the field during the PSP New Jersey Open."

Julia Keller's debut mystery, A Killing in the Hills, introduced prosecuting attorney Belfa "Bell" Elkins and the small Appalachian town of Acker's Gap, West Virginia. In Summer of the Dead, Keller's third mystery set in Acker's Gap, Bell faces a new murderer, as well as family challenges and the burdens of the coal mining community.
The opening acknowledgements in Summer of the Dead hint at a heartbreaking story: "Some years ago I met the wise and stalwart wife of a coal miner in McDowell County, West Virginia. She had created a place for her husband under the big kitchen table; because of his many years spent working underground, and injuries to his spine, he was only comfortable in a crouching position. The story has haunted me ever since, and it inspired a key element of this novel."
Keller shed some light on this inspiration and the questions and challenges of caretaking.
Elizabeth Little is making waves with her clever debut mystery, Dear Daughter. Written with what our Whodunit columnist calls "one of the cheekiest voices in recent memory," Little follows a now-notorious Los Angeles socialite's investigation into her mother's grisly murder: a murder that's been pinned on her. We caught up with Little and asked her about life in LA, her favorite heroines in mystery and more in a 7 questions interview.
M.P. Cooley's first novel Ice Shear is a solid, convincing mystery set in the snowy shadows of Hopewell Falls, New York. The story follows June Lyons, a former FBI agent who traded her big badge for the life of a small-town police officer to care for her sick husband, who has since passed. In an attempt to spend more time with her daughter and to fall in better with the police force, she volunteers for the graveyard shift. Her nights pass with no more excitement than driving drunks home and buying doughnuts for the morning shift.
The best new mysteries include a standalone Scandinavian thriller, murderous mothers and daughters and a tale of Cold War espionage.
There are several ways to know whether you've got a really fine novel on your hands, and you can tell pretty quickly that Dry Bones in the Valley is a debut of that caliber.
First, author Tom Bouman knows his rural Pennsylvania setting and is familiar with its smallest details, from inhabitants' accents and manners to their dilapidated trailer homes, and from animal tracks in the woods to the winds and the night sky.
Antonio Hill follows up his Spanish sun-soaked crime debut The Summer of Dead Toys with his second Inspector Salgado mystery, The Good Suicides. A cryptic and unnerving message is sent to a select group of managers at a cosmetics company: a horrifying photo of dogs hanging from a tree accompanied by the line, "Never forget." Soon, those on the receiving end of the email begin committing suicide in grotesquely creative ways, and the rattled Salgado is thrust into the investigation. We caught up with Hill and chatted about Barcelona's best (and not-so-great) qualities, his work in literary translation and more in a 7 questions interview.
Whether they feel watching eyes or hear the sound of quickening footsteps behind them, the potential victims in these unnerving stories sense a predator's approach, and so can we. As these characters hurry to the relative safety of their homes and rush to lock the doors behind them, readers of these smart and suspenseful books will be turning pages faster and faster in hopes of catching the criminal before it's too late.
R.J. Ellory's standout new novel, Saints of New York, is our July 2014 Top Pick in Mystery. Past and present storylines are equally compelling in this vast and beautifully written novel. We chatted with the British author via email about his masterful new work.
The characters in Saints of New York—from the corrupt cops to the good cops—are all extremely flawed. They're also surrounded by a world that is extremely dark, and even the "saints" are far from saintly. Was this a difficult book to write?
I think it's an honest book, and I try to imbue every book I write with that kind of analysis and exposure of the human condition.

Wow, finally someone understands just how litigious home educators are likely to become:
From Lord Kirkwood, (column GC35)
"In terms of home education, the department is heading straight for a judicial review. Home education used to be a lifestyle choice by people with a kind of hippy way of life. It is not any more. It is worrying that the department does not know how many people this measure will apply to, but I would put money on the fact that the provisions in the regulations will be challenged in the courts by those who home educate. I would support them in doing that because someone needs to test the fairness of the regulations as they currently stand."

Lewis Hamilton concedes it is "back to the drawing board" for McLaren after their Bahrain woes, but the former World Champ is confident they can "fix" their problems.
After Hamilton qualified P2 at the Sakhir circuit with team-mate Jenson Button starting in P4, many expected McLaren to be fighting for victory come the Sunday.
The team, though, struggled not only for pace during the race with both their drivers going backwards, but also endured a torrid time during the pit stops. Two bungled stops saw Hamilton eventually finish eighth while Button had to retire on the penultimate lap.
The Woking squad now have nearly three weeks to sort out their problems ahead of the race in Barcelona and, although he is disappointed with their display in Bahrain, Hamilton is confident they can come up with answers.
"I struggled with pace, with Sebastian (Vettel) pulling away at a second a lap, struggled with looking after the tyres. I just wasn't quick at all," he said.
"I still think I could have got fourth or fifth, but to end up eighth after two poor pit stops is disappointing.
"The only positive is that I scored four points, but overall there aren't a lot of positives to take. We have to go back to the drawing board and try and figure out where we are losing time, because we are quick in qualifying. But something changes in the race, so we have to go back and work harder at the factory, and if anyone can fix it, it's us.
"I'm sure everyone's frustrated, so we have to look on the bright side and keep positive."
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh is also confident that they can bounce back, but concedes "there's no magic".
"You have bad days and Sunday was one of them," he said. "But we're a strong team, we've come back from these things plenty of times before.
"We have to focus on and understand what we did wrong, how we weren't performing, because clearly we're doing something wrong.
"If you look at our pace in the race compared to that on Friday, we were a second slower. We're capable of doing that because we've good people, capable of recovering the situation, but there's no magic."

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn announced Thursday she will not back a controversial paid-sick leave bill, which will essentially kill the measure. NY1's Michael Scotto filed the following report.
After a year of deliberation, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has decided to shelve a controversial paid sick leave bill -- a move that, in some respects, puts her at odds with herself.
"I've been torn between a policy goal that I share and support, and real concerns about struggling businesses in a fragile economy," Quinn said.
Quinn insists the burden the bill would have placed on small businesses is the main reason she decided to come out against the legislation, which has wide support among Council members and the Working Families Party.
The bill would have forced businesses, depending on their size, to provide between five and nine sick days to employees each year. Quinn says the mandate would have cost businesses between $700 and $1,200 per employee.
Currently, 1.3 million workers in the city don't get paid when they call out sick.
"It means they will have to continue choosing between going to work ill and getting paid or staying home with a sick child or getting paid," said Dan Cantor of the Working Families Party.
Supporters say they had hoped for a compromise. There had been talk of scaling back the bill and coming up with other solutions, like exempting businesses that employee workers who are paid mostly in tips.
"I believe that she should have listened more carefully to some of the compromises that we were making and they would have made sense for the business community and for the workers," said the bill's sponsor, City Councilwoman Gale Brewer.
Quinn's move earned her praise from business groups like the State Restaurant Association, which said now is not the time to place burdens on small businesses. But there was also blistering criticism from groups, like the New York State Paid Leave Coalition, which called Quinn's decision a quote stunning abandonment of working mothers and parents.
The groups that are criticizing Quinn had once been supporters, and her decision to oppose the legislation could come back to haunt her in a Democratic primary if she runs for mayor in 2013.
Quinn, however, insists she's not thinking about politics.
As for where the bill stands now, Quinn says she will meet with supporters every two months to gauge whether the economy is improving enough to move the measure forward.
While unlikely, the City Council could still force a vote on the bill.

Bemidji State Universitys faculty electronic music ensemble, the MIDiots, has landed a gig at one of the Midwests premier jazz clubs. On Feb. 15, the group will follow Kansas City blues artist Kelley Hunt at The Dakota Jazz Club and Restaurant in Minneapolis.
The MIDiots will play two 45-minute sets featuring jazz standards and original pieces written by members of the group, with a selection of rock covers. Hunts performance begins at 8 p.m., and the MIDiots' late-night show will begin at 11:30 p.m.
The MIDiots include BSU faculty members Dr. Del Lyren, professor of music; Dr. Erika Svanoe, assistant professor of music and Bemidji States director of bands; adjunct faculty members Greg Gaston and Eric Sundeen; and Lee Foster.
This is pretty exciting for us, Lyren said of the groups first out-of-town booking in a commercial venue. The Dakota is the premier jazz club in Minnesota, and if you draw a line from Chicago to Denver, if you look north of that line its probably the premier club in the whole area. This is a pretty big deal.
The booking came from conversations Lyren had with operators of The Dakota during the 2010 International Trumpet Conference, which he helped organize in Minneapolis. The Dakota hosted a number of late-night jam sessions during the conference, which allowed Lyren to develop relationships with the staff.
Greg [Gaston] and I talk a lot about possibilities for the group, and one of his bucket list items was to play at The Dakota, Lyren said. So I sent them a note on a whim and said we had an interest in performing there. They showed some interest and I was persistent, and we got the gig. It worked out well for us.
Lyren hopes the groups pairing with Hunt will lead to an enthusiastic audience for the MIDiots show.
Shes a big name, so hopefully well have a big crowd sticking around to hear us, Lyren said.
The Feb. 15 show at The Dakota will follow a Valentines Day show at the Minnesota Music Educators Associations Midwinter Clinic in Minneapolis.
