Ride the Tiger
Ends April 21, Long Wharf Theatre, 222 Sargent Drive, New Haven, (203) 787-4282, longwharf.org
Greed and power and wit and charm. Different combinations of those characteristics fuel various characters in shows at both the Yale Rep and Long Wharf theaters this month.
Paul Giamatti's Hamlet makes me realize that I've been longing all my life to see a Hamlet that was something other than young, thin, athletic and attractive. The prince of Denmark isn't just an iconic role, it's unfairly become an archetype and stereotype and leading-man-type. This is a 20th century phenomenon; you can be sure that the great Shakespearean actors of the 1800s who barnstormed through rural opera houses weren't wiry college kids. Edwin Booth, widely considered the greatest Hamlet of his time, gained major acclaim for doing the role in his 30s and continued to play it into his late 50s.
One reason every new Hamlet comes under such scrutiny is that there are so many speeches we're all so intimately familiar with, and the same sort of actor is always doing them. When someone of a different voice and physical type and approach comes along, it's like watching a whole new play ... Especially when there still is a handsome, moody rascal among the lead players; and this time it's Claudius. Marc Kudisch plays Hamlet's stepfather/uncle with the same cocksure he-man bluster that he brought to the title role in Tartuffe at Westport Country Playhouse last year (and, to stretch a point, that he brought to the title role in an early '90s national tour of Bye Bye Birdie). Kudisch's studly and smoldering Claudius is simply baffled by Giamatti's unmade-bed of a Hamlet. Their incompatibility is neatly underscored by how deeply Claudius seems to bond with the prince's potential assassin Laertes (a dishy Tommy Schrider). The regal yet down-to-earth Lisa Emery (fresh from a Midwestern stint as Mary Tyrone in Long Day's Journey Into Night) is a genuinely conflicted, regretful Gertrude. Not as mixed-up, however, as Brooke Parks' Ophelia. Her role is carefully modulated to fit in with Giamatti's clever, unpredictable, smartass Hamlet. Parks' Ophelia is like a headstrong grad student smitten with her professor. The attraction is intellectual, not physical, and her eventual breakdown seems all the more credible for it.
Director James Bundy wisely lets the casting of the title role be the main concept for this Hamlet. Giamatti's interpretation may be groundbreaking, but the staging and design assuredly aren't. Not that Giamatti is at odds with his castmates and environs — they are ideally chosen to support him, not just in how they scan the Elizabethan prose but in how they complement him in vocal tones and size. There's a bit of what I've come to call "the Bundy balance" — bits of comic shtick tossed in to lighten the mood. These moments can be obvious and jarring but I've learned to appreciate Bundy's desire to break up the darkness from time to time. After all, this is a largely uncut rendition of Shakespeare's script. We hear numerous solid speeches that are usually excised only for reasons of running-length and tone. Here, they stand, and are welcome, with Bundy merely trying to make sure we are regularly amused between the probing soliloquies.
This is a well-spaced-out, well-orchestrated production. (There's a live band setting the musical mood from the parapets of Meredith B. Ries' multi-story castle of a set.) Having been a devoted fan of Paul Giamatti since his student days at the Yale School of Drama, where I saw him carry epic productions of Ibsen's Peer Gynt and Gozzi's Love of Three Oranges, I never had any doubts that he could pull off a worthy Hamlet. Clearly nobody onstage with him or behind the scenes had any reservations either. This is a clear and committed effort to let a skilled performer share his vision of a role.
Over at the Long Wharf, the misunderstood and petulant prince is John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the manipulative patriarch is John's dad Joe, the well-meaning-pal-caught-in-the-middle Horatio type is Frank Sinatra, and the Ophelia is party girl Judith Exner. Then there's a fifth player, mob boss Sam Giancana, who's wandered in from a production of Richard III.
Based on stories told by Sinatra himself to playwright William Mastrosimone, Ride the Tiger is an all-American tragedy about power and corruption, involving some of the most powerful people in the nation. Mastrosimone has latched onto Giancana (played with ingratiating intimidation by Jordan Lage of the Atlantic Theatre Company) as the most intriguing and amusing of this conniving quintet, and overwrites many of the menacingly amusing Mafioso's scenes (particularly the one where he seduces Exner). It feels like Giancana gets considerably more stage time than his rival, the president of the United States. In truth, he simply interacts with fewer people. Sam's relentless wooing and outwitting of Exner (Christina Bennett Lind, whose diverse résumé extends from Metamorphoses and Dutchman to TV soaps, trying real hard to avoid bimbo stereotypes, with little help from the script) while JFK (a strapping, charismatic Douglas Sills, so dashing in the musical versions of The Scarlet Pimpernel on Broadway and The Addams Family on tour) must juggle visits from his apoplectic dad (John Cunningham, the old-money-WASP from Long Wharf's 2007 production of A.R. Gurney's The Cocktail Hour, now playing a former rum-running Catholic), Ol' Blue Eyes (Paul Anthony Stewart, whose Sinatra impression grows on you as his rather vulnerable place in the plot unfurls and he becomes less cocky).
At a couple of points, director Gordon Edelstein resorts to grand spectacle to get across the impact of this grudge-match between gangster and politician. It works, but I already want to see how this highly personalized, sensualized and internalized dialogue will work in smaller theaters with fewer resources. As playwright Mastrosimone has noted himself, Ride the Tiger has the heft and sweep of Greek tragedy. It should be able to succeed without all the American pop culture iconography.

Orlando Traffic Stop Nets Grenade Launcher
It started as a routine traffic stop but ended with Orlando officers seizing a small arsenal of powerful firearms including a 37 mm grenade launcher.
Orlando police stopped Fritz Joseph, of Miami, and Delroy Blake, of Casselberry, in a white Audi as the two rolled through a red light and made a right turn without coming to a complete stop, an arrest report said.
The stop happened near Pine Hills Road and North Lane about 4 p.m. Wednesday.
When police asked 33-year-old Joseph for his driver's license, he said he didn't have it but 29-year-old Blake handed his over. As the men were questioned, police noticed two rectangular gun boxes in the back seat of the sports car, the report said.
Underneath the boxes police could see the butts of two rifles poking out of a black bag. But when asked if there were weapons in the vehicle, the men said they were not transporting firearms, the report said.
Once police searched the car they found four rifles, seven handguns, two Tec-9s and one grenade launcher. Also in the car were 16 magazines full of ammunition for various weapons.
Of the 14 firearms found, one Smith & Wesson handgun, one Beretta handgun and one Kel Tec handgun had all been reported stolen to either the Orlando Police Department or the Lakeland Police Department.
It's not clear how Joseph and Blake got the weapons or what they planned to do with them. Both men remained in the Orange County Jail Thursday morning.
Joseph faces more than one dozen weapons possession charges. Both he and Blake also face grand theft charges related to the stolen handguns.

TwoWhite Feet, Inc was founded in June 2004 by two Colorado horsewomen, Veronica Holt and Heather Petersen.
Well known for their work in all aspects of regional and national dressage competition, they are the principals in this equestrian management company. The corporate structure will reflect a fluid team approach, tailoring our expertise to the needs of our clients.
Veronica Holt has moved on to several other ventures at the end of 2008. Simone Windeler, Anne Sushko and several others work with Heather now on a per contract basis.
Dear friends and competitors,
We wanted to take just a few minutes of your time and address the Vesicular Stomatitis (VS) outbreak that is currently affecting our state. Our hearts go out to those who are affected, and our thoughts are about how the spread of this disease can be controlled.
Last weekend, as many of you know, were the Autumn Hill July Dressage Festivals III and IV. Prior to these shows, we were in daily communication with the State Vet's office, and with their help, developed a sound, protocol and procedure for ensuring the safety of animals traveling to and competing at the show. We feel that the efforts made by the exhibitors and the facility made the show a success.
A conversation with the State Vet yesterday, revealed that there are now 23 cases confirmed in the state, an overwhelming majority of these horses are older and do not travel. The State Vet also confirmed that he felt there was no problem with us holding the Estes Park Dressage Shows and CDI, and that our policy and procedures were still the best course of action to keep all competitors safe at the Estes shows. Also to be noted, there are far fewer flies at that altitude. We've always felt the Estes Park is one of the most beautiful venues to show Dressage, and right now, it's one of the safest. If flies travel in your trailer with you to the grounds, the State Vet office said that the altitude is different enough they will not acclimate and do not survive.
This year, we are pleased to offer many wonderful awards and prizes to exhibitors; random drawings for gift certificates to local restaurants, fabulous 1st place glasses donated by Sage Creek, and high point awards donated by vendors exhibiting at the show. In addition, we have wonderful sponsorship from groups like the Rocky Mountain Dressage Society, the Town of Estes, and individuals like Ms. Eva Maria Adolphi. And don't forget the exhibitor parties, and movies under the stars...
Entries are open until August 4th and we hope you'll consider joining us... It will be a wonderful weekend.
Thank you,
Your 2 White Feet staff - Heather, Simone and Jon
Thank you to everyone for a wonderful show at the Paragon Dressage CDI***! We had great weather for two days and then lost our luck on Sunday. The great support of the competitors should guarantee the growth of this show for next year. What an amazing group we had - we couldn't have done it without you!
Prize lists are now up for all of our shows through July and the Championships prize list is also posted. The August Estes Park Dressage show prize list will be up soon.

There were cries of protest from purists when the technology was developed to colorize old black-and-white movies; one of the companies doing it generated plenty of bad press for colorizing an old Sinatra flick--and rendering his eyes brown. (Does the nickname "Ol' Blue Eyes" mean anything?)
We wonder if there will be similar outcry now that technology has been developed that can colorize ancient Greek and Roman statues. The difference here is that the colors are not being arbitrarily added--a combination of ultraviolet, infrared and X-ray spectroscopy can apparently divine the approximate hues these statues were painted in. And folks, it ain't always pretty:
Good gosh, Caesar Augustus' breastplate looks like a freaking five-year-old's birthday cake! And who knew the guy was ginger. io9's got the full story here.

What are the downsides of Amitiza?
- Q: What are the downsides of the drug called Amitiza?
- A: Amitiza (lubiprostone) is a medication that is used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or chronic constipation. Amitiza works by stimulating chloride channels in the intestinal tract. This action stimulates the flow of intestinal fluids and in turn helps move food along the intestinal tract. According to the prescribing information for Amitiza, some of the common side effects of the medication include nausea (the most common side effect; taking the medication with food often helps this issue), diarrhea, headaches, stomach pain, bloating, and gas. The biggest downside of the medication would be the cost. Since this is a fairly new medication, with no generic alternative, the insurance copay may be quite high. There are few warnings and precautions associated with this medication. Nausea is the biggest complaint reported by patients taking Amitiza. Amitiza has not been studied in patients with kidney or liver disease. The medication has been reported, rarely, to cause shortness of breath or chest pain upon taking the medication. Although this is not considered a serious problem by physicians, it has caused patients to stop taking Amitiza. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Lori Poulin, PharmD

"If basic social engineering is often beyond our capabilities at home — where our knowledge and tools are considerable — what about our ability to do this in foreign lands, the keystone to modern COIN theory? For example, before doing info-ops or seeking to alter a society, what must one know about that society?"
Sage point. There is a flip side to this dynamic though and the Moynihan report illustrates it. At times, a society gridlocks around societal taboos, honor systems, perceptions of face etc. that turns fairly mundane policy problems into intractable political ones ( in Moynihan's case, race), Gordian Knots that outsiders immediately see through or can cut through if they get into a position where their action spares the local actors a loss of prestige or status. That last bit should be uppermost when we have to act regarding a sensitive issue, the results must be ones that also leave the locals feeling relieved rather than humiliated.
Fabius Maximus replies: Interesting idea. Any examples?
20 March 2008 1:48 pm
Far too many.
The Japanese of the Meji-Taisho-Showa era had a particular difficulty breaking high level deadlocks over policy because by custom, the Emperor did not intervene directly and explicitly in factional disputes. Having no socially ( much less politically) acceptable way to back down, factions were left with flat denial of reality or violence ( assassinations, uprisings or suicide) that would demonstrate the sincerity of their motives. The inability to make strategic decisions of the China quagmire, for example, led the Japanese military to contemplate attacking either the USSR or the United States and Britain. Once the Pacific War turned sour, as with China, the military had no acceptable way to address defeat and surrender, so WWII continued until the atomic bombings forced Hirohito to break tradition.
Around the same time, Stalin's personalized paranoid totalitarianism made it impossible fr Soviet leaders to prepare for the Nazi invasion, despite a wealth of evidence and warnings that an attack was coming.
Then there is George Ball's account of being the lone dissenter in LBJ's inner circle regarding the failure of LBJ's policies in Vietnam and the unwillingness of the Pentagon and the White House to address strategic and policy failure or even accept factual reports.
This appears to be a common problem – Tuchman's March of Folly has other historical examples.

The thing COIN doesnt address is nationalism or even village-ism . However polite , empathic, just and generous a bunch of invadors are , and however loathsome one's own gov , some will resist just because it is an invasion . Either with bread knives in the dead of night , or by hindrance ( unsigned cheques, mispelt documents, etc ) . The wannabe invadors would do better to buy up assets, become major employers , infiltrate gov , bribe testimonials from the heroes ….

Jetix (US)Comment1
this wiki
Jetix USA was a television programming brand running on ABC Family and Toon Disney, owned by The Walt Disney Company. It first officially began programming as a children's programming block on ABC Family in September 2002 as the ABC Family Action Block (though unofficially some of said programming was already airing on ABC Family as early as March 2002 as an "unnamed children's block"). In February 2004, the ABC Family Action Block was re-branded as Jetix on ABC Family and simultaneously gained its exclusive network, Toon Disney.
It was formerly aired on both Toon Disney and ABC Family, but following the August 31, 2006 broadcast, ABC Family dropped the Jetix block, which continued to air on its main home channel, Toon Disney. It then took up total of 85% of Toon Disney's programming time.
In August 2008, it was announced that the Jetix block and Toon Disney channel were to merge and be rebranded as the Disney XD channel in early 2009. However, local versions of Disney XD are replacing 4 Toon Disney channels and 6 Jetix channels.[1][2] As of present, there are no remaining Toon Disney and Jetix channels in the world.
After the programming block's official closure Jetix's website was redirected to Disney XD's website.
Disney-ABC announced that Disney XD will launch a dedicated Marvel programming block (meant to officially replace Jetix) featuring the premiere of Ultimate Spider-Man on April 1, 2012.

Clarifying Toner eliminates excess oil and restores balance to acne-prone skin with a refreshing blend of natural botanicals. Problem skin is purified without drying or irritation as Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract regulates oil production and Witch Hazel removes oil while tightening pores. Skin is left clean, refreshed and balanced.
-Allantoin calms and soothes redness and irritation
-Antioxidant rich Grape Seed Extract and Vitamin E protect against damaging free-radicals

Every day after cleansing, pour a small amount onto cotton pad and gently wipe over face and neck. For optimal results, follow with recommended Murad treatment.
Water (Aqua), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Butylene Glycol, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Propylene Glycol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Lecithin, Tocopherol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Allantoin, Palmitoyl Hydroxypropyltrimonium Amylopectin/Glycerin Crosspolymer, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Menthol, Menthoxypropanediol, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Blue 1 (CI 42090), Ext.Violet 2 (CI 60730)
Excess oil on your face is one of the primary causes of acne breakouts. When your excess facial oil combines with dead skin cells that have accumulated on the surface of your skin, your pores become clogged. It's when your pores become clogged that bacteria form, causing your acne breakouts. That's why using an acne skin treatment that helps to eliminate excess oil and restore a natural pH balance to your skin without irritating your skin is a critical step in your acne treatment skin care program. Murad Clarifying Toner uses Algae Extract and Witch Hazel to not only control oil but also tighten pores. As part of a complete skin care plan, this toner can help you to get rid of acne and control oily skin. p>

WHAT IS IT? It's a wheel-holding stand designed to facilitate tire changing.
CONTACT? (760) 885-2737 or www.slikdesigns.com.
WHAT'S IT DO? Changing tires is one of the toughest jobs for a motocrosser, and it's even more difficult for off-road racers with Mousse tubes. Imagine mounting a tire with an already fully inflated tube! AMA tech inspector and former Yamaha and Suzuki mechanic constantly changes tires in the field. He liked his Zip Ty tire-changing ring, but was tired of hunching over to use it. Slik Designs Manufacturing (SDM) innovator Rick Green came to the rescue and designed a prototype tire changing stand to mate with the Zip Ty Ring. Since the first prototype, Rick has refined the stand with input from guys who use it, including ISDE rider Kurt Caselli.
ÿÿ SDM's Tire Changing Stand (with Zip Ty Ring) is designed not only to hold the wheel in place, but to keep rotors, spokes and wheels damage-free. The MXA wrecking crew is excited about any product that makes tire changing easier.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's what we found out about SDM's Tire Changing Stand (with Zip Ty Ring).
ÿÿ (1) Damage prevention. The SDM Tire Changing stand keeps you from bending the brake rotor or sprocket, helps keep the bearings free of debris, and makes it easier to change tires without gouging the wheel with the tire irons. It does all of this by elevating the wheel to waist height.
ÿÿ (2) Adjustability. Whether you're tall or short, you can raise the wheel to the optimum height to let you pry tires on and off your wheels.
ÿÿ (3) Transportation. Thanks to some crafty engineering, the SDM Tire Changing Stand (with Zip Ty Ring) fits into the same 20x20x6-inch box that the Zip Ty Ring utilizes.
ÿÿ (4) Stability. The free-standing tire changer has leveling adjusters so it will never wobble. If you plan on struggling with Mousse tubes, you may want to bolt it down to your shop floor or to a thick sheet of plywood to give it a bigger base (this is what Kurt Caselli does).
ÿÿ (5) Durability. The MIG-welded stand has a semi-gloss finish and sturdy hardware. We have changed dozens of tires on our stand and it still looks great.
ÿÿ (6) Place of Manufacture. The SDM Tire Changing Stand (with Zip Ty Ring) is made in the USA.
ÿÿ (7) Development. Rick is never finished making improvements. He has plans to make a workbench adapter available, as well as an engine stand.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? Be sure to crank down on the height adjuster clamp. Otherwise, if a large force is applied directly to the top of the stand, it can slip down.
When you're used to changing tires on a tailgate, this is a luxury item.

more peeks and changing clothes
{more random peeks into The Things We Do}
Hi and THANK YOU everyone for the wonderful feedback on my little indie parenting book! My kids keep feeding volumes of new material my way that I'll have to hand write in my own copy. Six year old asked yesterday in all seriousness if she could have a vending machine in her bedroom ;)
Be not alarmed if you see a flurry of activity going on with my header and sidebar -- my blog hadn't changed clothes for almost two years and it was starting to stink, digitally speaking. I'll be updating my favorite art/craft blog links over the next few weeks, so if you'd like me to include yours, just let me know!

The Things We Do
{random page peeks from The Things We Do}
The Things We Do is done! Starting from a bunch of disorganized lists last summer, it is now 34 doodled pages from beginning to end. I am hunched over, weary, hurting, bleary eyed, happy to be done, and very happy with how it turned out. I'm also satisfied that I'll be able to look back at this book once my kids have grown, and know that what I did was important and that it mattered. Yes, this was a selfish endeavor.
There were times that I thought I'd never finish because every time I went to the grocery store, or spent a typical few hours with my own kids, I'd have at least three new pages of material. Putting it all through the analysis machine, it absolutely boggled my mind how much parents take on, and how quickly a day can pass doing these things we do. Shuttling them back and forth! Meals! Tantrums! Wheedling! Teachable moments! Doing things we just did! Coaxing! Sock crises! Nightly rituals! Redirecting! Lunch box dilemmas! Refilling bottles and sippy cups and washing and disinfecting and bribing and cherishing! Well...I tried to fit as much in here as possible. Each task was a potential rabbit hole from which I might have never emerged. So I included what I could, and issued a blanket apology for everything that I missed.
For those who are interested, I've just refreshed the copies in the shop (I put a small batch in early this morning and they sold out; thank you!) in red, blue and green. I made every bit of every copy with my own hands, from writing to binding. It is a humble production, but one made with heart. Above are a few peeps of the final pages -- I'll share more over time. If I posted them all now, my blog might blow up ;)
Thank you to everyone who gave me the encouragement to make it to the finish line -- and thank you to parents everywhere for doing the toughest job on earth!
Friday, July 13, 2012
Almost is a great feeling. Almost better than getting to the blessed milestone! The anticipation, the quickening of the heart, the giddiness that comes with being the next in line -- I'm just about there with The Things We Do. I finally nailed down the intro, that elusive yet essential piece that I kept trashing and starting over, and I'm trucking to the finish line. Just a bit of grunt work left and I'll be ready to fire up The Artsyville Press.
Also, my little FB page is almost at 1000 likes, so I'm having an "almost" sale in the shop. Use the code ALMOST1000 for 20% off your doodle order all weekend long!
Happy almost weekend to you all!

The theme, or harmony, of a painting can be created by any one of its visual elements. A single colour... repetition of shapes... Light can be a theme.Mike Svob
In most natural scenes there is a prevailing colour, which the landscape painter must learn to identify, and which must prevail also in a slightly exaggerated form, in his painting, for the sake of truth, harmony and unity.Walter J. Phillips
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are certain things in which mediocrity is intolerable: poetry, music, painting, public eloquence. What torture it is to hear a frigid speech being pompously declaimed, or second-rate verse spoken with all a bad poet's bombast.Jean de la Bruyere
My painting is like no other. It is an expression from my spirit and soul. It is who I really am.Billie F. Mathis
The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soulThomas Moore
I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.Howard Stern
There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, and architecture is art you can walk throughDan Rice
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.Ambrose Bierce
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelainJohn Adams
All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.John Berger
Poetry, with all its obscurity, has a more general as well as a more powerful dominion over the passions than the art of paintingEdmund Burke
There is more similarity in the marketing challenge of selling a precious painting by Degas and a frosted mug of root beer than you ever thought possible.A. Alfred Taubman
Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed; contemplating it, everyone can create a story at the will of his imagination and.. with a single glance.. have his soul invaded by the most profound recollections; no effort of memory, everything is summed up in one instant. A complete art which sums up all the others and completes them.Paul Gauguin
History is not a work of philosophy, it is a painting; it is necessary to combine narration with the representation of the subject, that is, it is necessary simultaneously to design and to paint; it is necessary to give to men the language and the sentiments of their times, not to regard the past in the light of our own opinion.Chateaubriand
It is not a certain conformity of manners that the painting of Van Gogh attacks, but rather the conformity of institutions themselves. And even external nature, with her climates, her tides, and her equinoctial storms, cannot, after Van Goghs stay upon earth, maintain the same gravitation.Antoine Marie Joseph Artaud
A lot of people think that scuttling around stencilling images onto buildings in the middle of the night is the action of a sad, frustrated individual who can't get attention or recognition any other way. They might be right, but I've done gallery shows and, if you've been hitting on people with all sorts of images in all sorts of places, they're a real step backwards, painting the streets means becoming an actual part of the city. It's not a spectator sport.Banksy
T.V. has made going to the theatre seem pointless, photography has pretty much killed painting but graffiti has remained gloriously unspoilt by progress.Banksy
I'd been painting rats for three years before someone said "that's a clever anagram of art" and I had to pretend I'd known that all along.Banksy
In the evening I study a fair (for his later painting Luna park in Paris, he made in 1900, ed.) if you could see the pomp and luxury of the merry-go-round and the stands and booths. Everything is decorated in Baroque-style, all gold and silver; there are mirrors, fabrics, and electric lightning. By night the whole thing is fantastic and rowdy. First of all I shall make a small picture and some drawings for illustrations.Giacomo Balla
It is the mysterious that I love in painting. It is the stillness and the silence. I want my pictures to take effect very slowly, to obsess and to haunt.William Baziotes
I can not evolve any concrete theory about painting.William Baziotes
As for the subject matter in my painting.. ..it is very often an incidental thing in the background, elusive and unclear, that really stirred me.William Baziotes

Covert combat returns as a future Cold War rages. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the follow-up to the hugely successful and award-winning Call of Duty: Black Ops. Promising not only the best graphics in the series so far, Call of Duty: Black Ops II on Xbox 360 ups the ante on every front for the most ambitious Call of Duty experience ever!
- New setting!
- New weapons!
- New bad guy!
- More zombies!
The Setting...
The game continues the tale of Frank Woods, hero of the original Black Ops, as well as various members of the Mason family. The action largely takes place in the year 2025, where a new Cold War is raging and the tools of war have been suitably upgraded, with battle drones on land and in the air, and an arsenal that packs a larger, more accurate punch than the weapons of today.
The historical battles of the original Black Ops do still make an appearance, with events spanning from 1980's Afghanistan right through to the near-future war. Different generations of the Mason family will fight in different eras, but all the missions seem to centre around one man - the new, mysterious villain Raul Menendez.
The Gameplay...
Call of Duty: Black Ops II promises some big shifts to the traditional Call of Duty gameplay. The campaign mode now features non-linear and branching storylines, where the decisions you make and actions you take informing how the game plays out. Whether it's choosing one option over another, or simply failing to save a single hostage, all your actions have consequences - the biggest one being you can play the game time and again to see the different outcomes unfold!
Add to this more options for how you battle, with the 'run and gun' approach now joined by the chance to drive cars, man gun turrets, ride horses and fly fighter jets. There's also the new Strike Force mode, open-world missions with a series of checkpoints to achieve and the chance to swap between characters - including playing as an all-controlling general. It's like an open-world sandbox, a real-time strategy and a multiplayer map all in one - and it can also affect the outcome of the game!
The multiplayer mode returns, bigger, better, and more adaptable to different skill levels and playing styles for a more inclusive experience. And Zombies also rise from the grave once again, running in multiplayer for the first time for even more ways to defeat the undead!

Do you own stocks or stock mutual funds? Or have you sworn off the stock market as too risky, too dangerous or too volatile? And have you switched to something "safer" — like bond funds?
If so, like millions of American investors, you could be making one of the biggest mistakes of your investing lifetime.
The Dow Jones industrial average has more than doubled since making its market bottom just above 6,547 on March 9, 2009 — just when people were dumping stocks. We are now less than four percentage points away from the all-time highs reached Oct. 9, 2007.
But instead of riding this rising tide, Americans have been selling all the way up. Since March 2009, investors have pulled $138 billion out of stock market mutual funds and exchange traded funds that invest in stocks. During that same period, they have added more than $1 TRILLION to bond funds, in search of higher, more reliable yields.
It's one thing to withdraw profits and set some profits aside for safety as your gains grow. But it's quite another thing to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire!
Yet that is exactly what some novice investors are doing when they switch from stock to bond funds — not knowing that bonds can lose market value even more quickly than stocks.
The dangers of bonds
Broad-based bond market losses are a phenomenon that hasn't been seen since the late 1970s — a period that few of today's market participants remember. So here's a basic lesson in how bonds can create big losses for you. And these principles apply to individual bonds and bond funds as well as to corporate, government and municipal bonds.
There are two risks in owning bonds. The one most commonly recognized is "credit risk." Investors should always worry about the credit quality of the bond issuer. After all, you are lending money to a business or government, so you want to be assured they will be in a position to pay the interest on a regular basis and to repay your principal (the amount of the face value of the bond) at maturity.
It's reasonably easy to solve the problem of credit risk. Bonds are rated by various agencies as to their creditworthiness. You can stick to top-rated bonds and mitigate this risk. And you can diversify in a bond fund to spread the risk. But credit risk isn't the only bond risk.
The second major risk of losing money in bonds is "interest rate risk." Since bond interest rates have been falling for more than 30 years, today's investors have never experienced the kind of losses that come to all bonds when interest rates, in general, start to rise.
Here's how it works. Let's suppose that you don't want the risks of stocks today, and you're quite annoyed that short-term CDs and Treasury bills pay less than a quarter of one percent. So you start searching for higher yields. You don't want "risky" bonds, so you settle on either a 10-year U.S. Treasury note, yielding about 1.7 percent, or a 30-year U.S. Treasury bond, yielding about 2.9 percent. You figure they will give you more interest — and keep you safe.
But what if interest rates start rising again? Let's say you bought that 30-year Treasury bond today, but interest rates start moving higher. In the future, the Treasury needs to sell more bonds to borrow more money to fund its deficit. But these newer bonds are sold with a yield of 5 percent. (Keep in mind that in the early 1980s, the Treasury sold 30-year bonds with interest rates of more than 12 percent.)
If interest rates do rise, then people still holding cash could buy bonds with higher yields. So what happens to the market value of your old 2.9 percent bonds? Their market value falls! Your $1,000 bond yielding 2.9 percent could be worth only $600 if you need to sell it to raise cash.
And if you decide not to sell and take that loss, then you're suffering with locked-in lower yields!
That's called "interest rate risk." You must understand that risk before you buy bonds:
When interest rates rise, bond prices fall.
The longer the maturity of your bond, the greater the decline in market value when interest rates rise.
That's why you should keep your maturities short if you fear higher interest rates in the future. With a two-year Treasury note, you'll be able to re-invest in higher yielding securities as rates start to rise. And you won't be trapped with long-term bond market losses.
Why interest rates will rise
Since the Fed has promised to "keep rates low," you might be wondering why and how interest rates might rise. Yes, the Fed has been punishing savers with low interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy and get America growing again. But at some point, the bond market will overwhelm the Fed's best intentions — and rates will rise.
The Fed has created trillions of dollars through "quantitative easing" — which is just another way of "printing money" and putting it into the system. Now the Fed has promised to create another $40 billion per month. All that new money without economic growth is sowing the seeds of inflation.
And during inflationary periods, when people expect the future buying power of their money to fall, they demand higher interest rates before they will lend — even to the U.S. government. No one wants to get their money back in 10 or 30 years knowing it will buy less. Higher interest rates compensate for loss of buying power.
As long as the U.S. government keeps running deficits, it will keep borrowing. As long as the Fed is "printing" the money to facilitate this borrowing, the money will lose value. And when this is generally recognized, interest rates will rise. And then, the bonds you buy today, locking in low rates for years, will lose market value.
Investors who see higher rates coming will rush to sell their old, low-yielding bonds. And that will put even more downward pressure on bond prices.
Once you understand how bonds can lose market value just like stocks, you're likely to be a bit more careful about what percent of your assets you move into bonds, just to gain a slight edge in interest rates today. The $1 trillion that has flowed into bond funds in the last four years will learn a painful lesson. And that's The Savage Truth.

Do you and DH wear your rings?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 04-06-2011 - 12:50pm
Yesterday on the radio, they were talking about the fact that Prince William will not be wearing a wedding ring after he and Kate Middleton wed later this month.
When I mentioned it to my mom, she said it has always bothered her that my dad doesn't wear his wedding ring. That surprised me. My dad made his living as a mechanic so it could have been dangerous to have a ring on while he was working; if a piece of equipment fell on his hand, it could catch his ring, crush his finger or do even worse damage.
My mom said she understood him not wearing his ring at work but he doesn't wear it when they go out, on vacations or now that he's semi-retired. She said she finally quit reminding him because it's clear that he doesn't want to wear it.
My DH wears his ring most days to work (occasionally he forgets) but he usually takes it off when he gets home in the evening. It doesn't bother me too much when he's not wearing it although I will joke with him that it's not that easy to consider himself "unmarried". LOL
So, does your DH wear a ring on a regular basis? Do you? Is it an issue for either of you?
|Wed, 04-06-2011 - 1:12pm
Good topic, RoseAnn - I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts on this!
DH always wears his ring. He occasionally takes it off when he bathes, or if he's working on something where it could be dangerous, but it's on his hand 99% of the time.
I wear my ring when I'm out of the house, but as soon as I get home, it goes in my jewelry box. My ring is exactly the ring I wanted, but it's heavy. Plus, I've lost weight since DH and I got engaged, and I cannot have my ring sized. I have a ribbon on it so that it fits, but it's not as comfortable. And I really don't like having a lot on at home -
|Wed, 04-06-2011 - 2:53pm
Great quesion RoseAnn,
Why won't Prince William be wearing his?
OK yes both DH & I wear them 24/7 :)
|Wed, 04-06-2011 - 3:35pm
DH hasn't worn his in years. It's in my jewelry box right now. I always wear mine.
|Wed, 04-06-2011 - 3:43pm
Today at lunch 2 of my rings did a twirl in the sink at work but thankfully they didn't go down the drain. I take my rings off whenever I wash my hands because once they touch water they do not want to stay on my finger. Man my heart stopped for a bit.
Back to your original question: my paternal grandfather never even bought a band and my dad has a band but I have only seen him wear it once and that was last year. I didn't even know he had a band. DH does wear his ring but we take it off during certain circumstances like when it involves handling meat where it could get up in our ring or washing dishes, bathing, swimming, those sorts of things. For the most part when we walk in the door the rings come off but when we are outside of the house they will be on. The only reason it would even be an issue of him not wearing his ring regularly is that it cost us a bit of money; I don't want to pay the amount we did for it to sit in a box but I think I would be okay because it is your WEDDING BAND, ya know?
|Thu, 04-07-2011 - 11:43am
DH and I both wear our rings when we go to work, or go out on a date, or are outside of the house.
|Thu, 04-07-2011 - 1:57pm
>>> I am truly baffled that Prince William is not going to be wearing his a ring.
|Thu, 04-07-2011 - 10:13pm
My husband doesn't wear a ring, during his first marriage he did but he said it itched and gave him a rash, I don't know if it was just a cheap ring or if he's alergic to gold.

At firehouse, prayer, silence
Simplicity, reverence mark 911 anguish
TORRINGTON — At 8:46 a.m., immediately after firefighters at the North End fire station finished observing a moment of silence in front of the jagged-edged steal beam from the North Tower of the World Trade Center, Marie Lovallo took her spot.
Lovallo kneeled in front of the steel beam, made the sign of the cross and said a special prayer in memory of Michael A. Uliano, a 42-year-old Massachusetts native who was related to her by marriage. Her children and Uliano's family spent many summers playing together on Cape Cod, she said.

A little-known secret to staying healthy and living longer involves discarding your camera. A side benefit is that this also increases your happiness and general sense of well-being. If your camera is built into your smart phone, a suitable alternative is to bury that feature so it is hard to find and access.
I must admit that I was surprised when I uncovered this marvel, and have since placed it right alongside staying physically active, being involved with others in healthy social networks, and eating whole foods. I first got the idea to look into this phenomenon a few years ago, when I noticed that cameras seemed to be proliferating at every interesting, significant event. Whether a concert, a sporting event, or just a beautiful day outdoors, I saw that most people had cameras out and were recording. I noticed that this soon spread to food—restaurants, picnics, and elegant dinners—as more and more individuals took pictures of their meals and uploaded them to social media sites.

I had heard all about the "CPLV family" before coming to camp, and from my first summer I really felt a part of it. As an international staff member I think there is no better place to try something new. Like real family it's hard to leave behind and near impossible to forget. Ashley, Staff
