I have been following your collection almost from the start. I'm on the East coast, so it has been a midmorning break. Our daughter lives in the Bay area, knows and loves your work. Seeing some of "my stuff" listed as vintage has been a bit wrenching, but worth it. Your design eye is amazing! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Wow, congrats Lisa! That was a project! Looking forward to seeing the book!ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous collection of collections you have. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!ReplyDelete

Dear Lisa Congdon - There seems to be evident here a theory that you've proven true (and in a timely fashion as this issue becomes pointed at this time of year) - that as humans our delight in material things is more in the hum of the things themselves than in having them only for ourselves - the strings stretched between each one of us, threads of connection, as we find our aesthetics addressed so communally by a strangers eye and choice, and the feeling that enjoying these objects is due to those connections negates any selfishness that comes with accruing stuff. You have used your stuffs as a language, an Esperanto of that "je ne sais quoi" (sp?) that fills hearts by way of the most disposable of our culture's accoutrement. What is dear and precious and lovely and strange, useful or utterly useless, that which is found in the cigar box of Boo Radley or the junk drawer in the kitchen or left between the pages of old books or squirreled away embarrassingly in a safe deposit box only explainable by the squirrel - these are the icons and samenesses you have exhibited. These things that make what you have made an original and thoughtful project of art and heart are the manifestations of commonalities of faith in the decided and ever present loveliness of the human condition as played by its trimmings and trappings. Your collections make the Grinches heart grow exponentially. (By the way I think your drawings and paintings do the same thing!) Best of luck and life to you and thank you. Sincerely Stacy Lynn.ReplyDelete

thank you lisa for making my day 365 times in a row!ReplyDelete
I have enjoyed each daily surprise on your blog. Never knowing what would come next has been exciting. I too delight in the simple little everyday type of things, and to see them artfully arranged in little grouping has given me a few minutes of pleasure each day. Thank You! JulieReplyDelete

Thanks, Lisa. I enjoyed the surprise each day and got extra enjoyment after I'd miss a couple of days. Then I'd get to see multiple collections on a single day! Anyway, your collections are wonderful and you have a great eye for the aesthetics and beauty in everyday objects. Blessings to you in 2011.ReplyDelete

There's much in the world that you can't explain.
It's revealed for you to remember
by the whispering voice of a distant train
or a midnight rain in november.
Horizon within! You can always find
the keys to Enigma. Let's mention
one basic Truth: of spirited Mind
Is Nature naught but extension.
Internal expanses! In dreams, ridden
by fear and longing you roam
that deep Southeast in your soul hidden
...on your random journey back home.
Single Swingle
Casualidad sopla la sangre
de alguno señor desconocido
durante los pocos restantes
momentos del resplandor de faroles
que se vislumbran tras el follaje
flameando de las obsesiónes
igual efimero como gotas
del cinzano de la soledad –
En aquel tiempo me levanta
dentro uno incidente avejentado
que en seguida palidece
al camouflaje de abstraccion;
chica, nadie conoce que tus grisos
ojos significan aún; con todo
el sueño que hube evacuado
tu escudriñas nuevamente.
My Spanish poetry!
Un orage nocturne illmuna maintenant l'Amazonie, franchis les Andes, envoya des jeux de cartes gigantesques et frappantes en bas à la Pampa –
Puis: petit déjeuner à melon; café fumant !
À la bague du cigare tu lis, étonné: GÉOGRAPHIE.
And: reciprocity. You do me a favor promoting your blog on mine!

Moscow: Troops in Ukraine Defending Russians
GENEVA (AP) -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday sought to justify the use of Russian troops streaming into neighboring Ukraine's Crimea region as a necessary protection for his country's citizens living there. He also urged Kiev to comply with a deal that opposing Ukrainian sides had reached on Feb. 21 but Moscow did not sign.
The use of Russian troops is necessary "until the normalization of the political situation" in Ukraine, Lavrov said at an opening of a monthlong session of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.
"We are talking here about protection of our citizens and compatriots, about protection of the most fundamental of the human rights -- the right to live and nothing more," Lavrov said.
Ukraine has accused Russia of a military invasion and has called on the Kremlin to withdraw its troops. Lavrov dismissed the criticism and said that "information is coming in about preparations for new provocations that are being committed, including against the Russian Black Sea fleet," which is based in Crimea, a strategic peninsula now effectively under Russian control.
"Those who are trying to interpret the situation as a sort of aggression and threatening us with sanctions and boycotts, these are the same partners who have been consistently and vigorously encouraging the political powers close to them to declare ultimatums and renounce dialogue," Lavrov said. "We call upon them to show a responsibility and to set aside geopolitical calculations and put the interests of the Ukrainian people above all."
Lavrov urged Ukraine to return to the Feb. 21 agreement signed by pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych aimed at ending his country's three-month political crisis. Yanukovych fled his country after signing the deal with the opposition and foreign ministers of France, German and Poland to hold early elections this fall and surrender much of his powers.
A Russian envoy who was part of those talks did not sign the agreement, and a key Russian lawmaker criticized it, but since Yanukovych's departure Moscow has insisted on its implementation as one of their key demands.
Lavrov said Yanukovych respected the agreement, but the opposition "did nothing."
"The illegal arms have not been relinquished. The government buildings and streets of Kiev have not been completely freed. Radicals maintain control of cities," Lavrov said. "Instead of a promised national unity government a `government of the victors' has been created."
Before meeting with Lavrov, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he would emphasize ways for Russia to defuse the crisis. Ban also has been discussing proposed ideas to do this, which include the creation of a "contact group" on Ukraine under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which is chaired by Swiss President and Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter.
"I have repeatedly emphasized that it is critical to ensure full respect for -- and the preservation of -- Ukraine's independence, unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity," Ban said. "It is now of utmost importance to restore calm, to de-escalate tensions immediately through a dialogue."

Here's a First Look at Pieces From the Upcoming Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs Exhibit in Paris
From March 9 through September 16, the Museé des Arts Décoratifs in Paris will host an exhibition celebrating the life and work of two hugely influential designers: Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs. The latter, of course, is now the artistic director at Vuitton, overseeing all collections and accessories for the handbag-focused French fashion house.
More an analysis than a retrospective, Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs will span two floors of the museum space, with Vuitton's trunks and 19th-century designs on the first and Jacobs' work for both his namesake brand and Vuitton on the second. Can't make it to Paris? In honor of the exhibit, Rizzoli is releasing a gorgeous gold-covered book (pictured at left) packed with 300 pages of Marc Jacobs' and Louis Vuitton's most noteworthy designs. At $75 (or $100 for the limited-edition version), it's a pricey volume—but a fraction of the cost of a plane ticket.
Below, check out some of the cool pieces that will go on display when Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs opens in March. There are bags, old-timey ads and...is that a foldout Vuitton bed?

Don't accuse the ''Friends'' gang of not recycling. An April 24 story arc, in which an attractive African-American woman (former ''Talk Soup'' host Aisha Tyler) becomes involved in a love triangle with Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Ross (David Schwimmer), seems strangely similar to a 2001 episode in which an attractive African-American neighbor (Gabrielle Union) became involved in a love triangle with -- you guessed it! -- Joey and Ross. The déjà vu wouldn't be that notable except that ''Friends''' depiction of New York City is notoriously lily-white.
But exec producer David Crane insists the producers didn't set out to cast a black actress -- they just ''loved'' Tyler. ''The other story line [with Union] was quick and funny, where the two guys didn't realize they were dating the same girl,'' says Crane. ''Charlie Wheeler [Tyler] is a brilliant paleontologist who should be dating someone like Ross, but hooks up with Joey first. She really only dated paleontologists, but now she is with a soap star.'' How about at least changing the triangle? Newly single Phoebe could use some lovin'.

Psycho II (1983)
Fear 2/5
Gore 2/5
Entertainment 5/5
Creepiness 2/5
Twenty some odd years after he was discovered to have kept the rotting corpse of his mother, pretended to be her and taking it to a whole other level of strange in dressing like her, we are placed smack dab in the middle of a court room drama as the judge proclaims one Mr. Norman Bates fit to return to society. The sister of Marion Crane, Lila, vehemently opposes the release of Norman the monster who murdered her sister and a private detective by the name of Arbogast years ago. But her words fall deaf and to no avail.
Norman is released and right away he works to get adjusted and assimilated into every day life. With the help of his psychiatrist, he's given a job at the local diner where he makes quick friends with a clumsy waitress. He's even encouraged to return and again take residence at the scene of the previous crimes: the Bates Motel and his mother's home. Running the joint in his absence, he asks a court appointed caretaker to pack up and get out of dodge after he discovers the motel has been transformed into a hangout for drug dealers and hookers.
In between trying to rid the premises of the pesky property manager and befriending the girl he met at the diner, Norman starts receiving a series of messages and phone calls which leads him to believe that his mother is still alive. With each call and written note he receives, Norman is pushed closer and closer back into being a crazy nut pants. But his new friend does her best to keep him in check and allay his anxieties. Afterall, he's doing his darndest to lead a normal life.
Our waitress is soon put out by her boyfriend and she takes up residence at Norman's home. Without a care about his history, the previously homeless girl almost becomes too accepting of Norman's past and current flirtations with madness. As the body count begins to rise, all eyes turn to Norman and despite him being prime suspect numero uno, the waitress insists it isn't him but rather she reveals a more foul plot is afoot. When Norman's psychiatrist catches wind of the contrived plot to send Norman over the edge, the film ends in dramatic fashion as he goes to the house to warn him. And just when we think things are over and Norman is now left alone to live in peace, another plot twist takes hold and we finally see Norman fall off the deep end and revert back to his 'old' ways.
More than an adequate sequel, Psycho II is a classic. Of course, it will never reach the level of notoriety as its forebearer but it's a fantastic film that keeps you guessing all the way until the very end. It also has some really nasty kill scenes (a knife through the mouth of a screaming woman and the Arbogast kill part deux but much more intense). And it also has one of the best quotes from Norman in the series. When the waitress comes over to the house for the first time, she inquires about a piece of silverware in order to slice a sandwich. A stammering Norman responds with:
'I forgot to bring any cu-cutlery.'

I was fond of the first part, a shame that I never saw the second one. Now I think I really should - this post made me nostalgic.

I have great love for Psycho II, and am glad to hear others do as well.
Perkins is great here, and it's no wonder he was stereotyped after the original, perfection will do that.

Just rewatched this yesterday! How weird...
Anyway, this is a great film on its own, regardless of whether or not it can stand next to the original. It is great to see the characters/setting 22 years later, and acting as one would expect them to act.
And yeah, Perkins just had Bates down perfectly, didn't he?

Highly underrated follow-up! Great to see it getting some love.

@Mina, definitely check it out. Its a classic for sure and a lot of fun.
@CL and Wings, no doubt. Even in the lackluster parts III and IV he had the part nailed down. I loved it whenever he was interrogated how he'd just go into full on stammer mode. Kind of like a kid who gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar before dinner time.
@J, definitely underrated. Its in my top list of most underrated horror films.

This really is one of the best sequels in the genre, and entirely overlooked by maky mainstream Horror fans that are convinced that PSYCHO should never have been sequelized

EMT: Ma�am? Did someone order an ambulance for The Littlest Cancer Patient?A particularly risky form of The Woobie, which is much more likely (though not inevitably) to fail than be successful with the audience. The Littlest Cancer Patient, as you may have guessed from the title, is a small child, rarely over the age of twelve, with some form of terminal disease. This character's sole reason for existence is to tug your heartstrings so hard they're torn from your chest. The Littlest Cancer Patient has a rather specific form of Contractual Immortality. They may find themselves on a plane that gets hijacked by terrorists, menaced by the Monster of the Week, in the path of a huge tidal wave, or in any form of danger. But rest assured — the only thing allowed to kill them is their illness. And that will rarely happen in the course of the story unless the writer(s) really wanna punch you in the gut. Often we find Littlest Cancer Patients to be Wise Beyond Their Years. Occasionally they are used to give a Pet the Dog moment to The Big Guy, The Lancer, or sometimes even a Dirty Coward. Another common use is for an athlete to swear to win a game or match for the sake of this poor, sick child, never taking to mind the possible repercussions if they failed to do this. Nowadays, though, you can expect cruel subversion for that. (Hilarious subversions work too.) See also Soap Opera Disease, Victorian Novel Disease, Ill Girl, Inspirationally Disadvantaged. Compare Morality Pet and Too Good for This Sinful Earth. Often the target of Kids Are Cruel. If someone works to earn money (legally or not) to pay for the poor child's treatment, this is a Healthcare Motivation. This is often Truth in Television, unfortunately. The Other Wiki has more information on this subject, and let's leave it at that.

Dear Beth,
Thank you so much for the care package. While some people wouldn't think of bottles of vodka as being a " care package" per se . I do. I received the package early this afternoon and placed all 4 bottles in my freezer. Well my whole fridge just died. So thank you for all the vodka drinks I will be having tonight with my date!! A true Deep Eddy night.
Very thoughtful.

While Guy Davidson '16 (photo), at #2, made relative ease of his win with an 11-4, 11-5, 11-6 conquering, it took fifth-game wins by Steele (11-4), Moritz (11-3) and Sneed (11-8) to wrap up the Wesleyan win.

The article gushes about this online university in glowing terms. It highlights the McGraw Prize in Education received by the President of WGU, Robert Mendenhall, which cited the university's "flexibility, accessibility and affordability"; it notes that Time magazine once called it "the best college you've never heard of" (the original quote was, actually, "the best relatively cheap university you've never heard of"); and it quotes words of praise by the chief executive of the nation's largest education foundation (Lumina Foundation), Jamie Merisotis, who calls WGU "a 'disruptive innovator' that's likely to push the entire education system to change in positive ways." The article further mentions that the "National Study of Student Engagement, which rates both traditional universities, showed WGU as performing equal to or better than other private, nonprofit universities not directly supported by governmental bodies. The ratings were based on academic challenge, quality of advisors and overall educational experience."
Intrigued by all this positive press, I dug around a little further on my own. From looking at the course offerings described on WGU's own website, it seems to be geared primarily towards working adults looking to complete a bachelor's degree so they can list it on their resume. The offered majors are not very diverse, and what is on offer focuses less on mind-broadening education than on "marketable/market-oriented" subjects, such as business and teacher's education and narrowly defined information technology domains. For example, most closely related to my area of networks is their degree of B.S. in Information Technology - Networks Design and Management. Their description of this degree reads:
Our network design degree will launch your network systems engineering career. The B.S. in Information Technology—Networks Design and Management will give you leading-edge networks design and engineering skills that employers demand along with eight recognized industry certifications including your Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) Enterprise Administrator certification. You will become a better networks designer and network systems engineer.
I also found some online reviews of their program. While there are indeed many positive comments, there are also several very dissatisfied students (with complaints ranging from the degrees not being recognized in their work environment, to lack of serious classes, to arbitrary changes in schedule and content, and so on). In the context of the IT program, in particular, one of the reviewers notes:
I enrolled in the WGU IT program in September 2008. Unfortunately I wasn't told that there weren't "real" IT classes, but that I would be working on getting certificates... So if you want to attend WGU, take all the certifications on your own, and then transfer them in. You could save over $6000+! Also be aware that you won't get basic CS foundational courses such as OOP, Data Structures, etc. It seems that they don't have any of their own curriculum, and everything is outsourced. ... This can be a good school, but be careful, and ask a lot of questions before you enroll. However, because of the lack of advanced classes (Calculus, etc) I don't think you would be a first pick by an employer.
Based on these, I don't believe WGU's IT programs, though they are certainly much less expensive to complete, and are more market-oriented, offer the same breadth and depth as a B.S. in computer science program at schools you have heard of. Nevertheless, I think the article about WGU raises some good questions about one of the major trends in higher education --- the wider adoption of online learning.
I should note that USC's Viterbi School of Engineering, where I work, has long had a well-subscribed distance education program (I believe it dates back more than 35 years, to 1972, well before WGU was founded; originally using satellite TV transmissions). I myself have taught many classes in this program, in which my lectures are taped and streamed in real-time on the web, and students are able to do homeworks and even take tests remotely. The opportunities for outside-class interactions with the instructor and TA are not always as good for off-campus students as they are for on-campus students, but in my experience faculty/TA's often do make an effort to respond to off-campus student queries in a timely manner, via email or online discussion forums.
I very much like the free models exemplified by MIT's open courseware and Stanford's iTunes U courses, which allow anyone to see lectures and materials from courses at these universities. I think they get close to the very heart of education. But they neither provide a framework for evaluation, nor (understandably) for any degree of direct interaction with faculty or other students.
So, we have an open question: is it possible to design high-quality, interactive, online learning programs, with evaluation, that are also self-paced?
Such a program could go beyond traditional classrooms by allowing for much more personalized and self-directed learning. But, I think, it can never make the brick and mortars version of the university completely redundant, because real spaces and physical interactions provide a rich sense of community in the context of learning --- an essential, albeit intangible, benefit, that cannot be obtained in the virtual world.
I myself am most interested in how a well-designed online-learning program can be made to complement live interactive experiences at a university, so that we can combine the best of both worlds.

text: Critics appraising a reissued ''masterpiece'' sometimes review the reputation instead of the film, and Sam Peckinpah's genre-bending Western The Wild Bunch certainly inspires such temptation. Restored to its original 145 minutes, this ultraviolent chronicle of aging outlaws planning one last haul made the use of slo-mo violence de rigueur for a generation of filmmakers. It seemed more powerful in theaters during the Vietnam era as part of pop culture's fashionable nihilism than it now does on small screens, where image reduction due to letterboxing renders some sequences incomprehensible. Ultimately, though, Peckinpah's sure directorial hand, solid scripting, and distinguished cast make The Wild Bunch engrossing entertainment. B+

Spa advice
Do I need to book?
We only pre-book the Spa on Saturdays. On any other day of the week you can just turn up on the day. For details of our different spa days in the week please click here. If you would like to have a treatment during your visit, we strongly advise that you book that in advance. Click here for treatment booking information.
What do I need to bring?
When you visit, we will provide you with a bathrobe, a towel and a locker. Some other things that you might like to bring along are:
- Swimwear (essential for all mixed sessions, optional for women only sessions)
- Flip flops (optional, but some people like to have something on their feet when using the outdoor area)
- Picnic (we have a lovely tea bar serving irresistable toasted teacakes, toast, flapjacks etc. If you feel you'd like something more substantial to eat during your visit, you are welcome to bring a picnic. We just ask that you don't bring any alcohol please.)
- Reading material (because you may want to curl up in our lounge with a magazine or a good book).
Tips for getting the most from your spa session
- Drink plenty of water (before, during and after your spa session)
- We recommend not eating a large meal before your visit
- Do not use alcohol or drugs prior to your visit
- Remove all jewellery, watches and contact lenses before entering the spa

Can I use the spa during pregnancy?
- We advise you consult your GP or midwife prior to using the spa facilities if you are pregnant. It is generally considered to be a good idea to avoid overheating during pregnancy, and this may well mean that you choose to avoid using our saunas and steam rooms. The hot tub and spa bath are no hotter than a bath, and many pregnant women find them very relaxing and enjoyable if used in moderation. It's best to check with your medical practitioner prior to visiting if you have any questions or concerns.
- We also have a wide range of holistic treatments which are fantastic through all stages of pregnancy, and a team of great practitioners who are very experienced in treating pregnant women.

Groupon's Impending Death Is Greatly Exaggerated
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Much has been made about the problems that have plagued Groupon (GRPN), which reports second-quarter earnings after the stock closes today.
Growth expectations have fallen sharply, thanks, in part, to a slowing global economy.
Groupon was able to deliver better-than-expected first-quarter earnings, driven by strong international growth. Still, Hudson Square's Dan Ernst expects that to have changed in the second quarter.
Ernst says sluggish economic growth in the U.S. and the debt crisis in Europe hurt Groupon's earnings. He also noted a rising dollar as a disadvantage. As a result, he reduced his earnings estimates for the rest of 2012 and 2013. He rates Groupon shares "buy," but cut his price target to $12 from $19.International revenue doubled in the first quarter, as the brand resonated with consumers across the globe. However, U.S. growth may be slowing based on recent trends. Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler analyzed Google search trends and noted that worldwide searches for 'Groupon' have declined sharply year over year. Searches rose 21% in the second quarter, compared with 65% in the first quarter. He also noted that U.S. searches ticked down, slowing from 22% in the first quarter to 15% in the second. Kessler also noted that Yipit, a daily deal aggregator, showed Groupon billings fell 3% sequentially through May in the second quarter. He rates the shares "market perform." Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the the Chicago-based daily deals company to post earnings of 3 cents per share on $573.13 million in revenue. Not all is lost for Groupon, which competes with Living Social, Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG). JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth says Groupon "is well-positioned to take share of the total leisure, recreation and food-service markets," which total $5.3 trillion in sales globally and $1.4 trillion in the U.S., he says. Anmuth notes that as subscriber growth slows, profitability will move substantially higher over the next two years. Still, he's concerned about a weakening global economy. Anmuth rates the shares "neutral" with a $22 price target. While Groupon has had its share of issues, it doesn't appear the company is going away anytime soon. Mark Twain may have said it best. "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." Interested in more on Groupon? See TheStreet Ratings' report card for this stock.

Twenty-one years ago, current political prisoner/former movie star Wesley Snipes exploded on the screen in his first major movie role as fictional drug kingpin 'Nino Brown' in the movie New Jack City. Here is a clip from the scene in the movie where his character stands trial for being a successful businessman. In this short monologue, Snipes's character sums up the truth behind the ridiculous War on Drugs. Of course, the character of the
Grand Inquisitor prosecuting attorney responds with the usual collectivist non-answer. (If you want to watch the entire movie, you should stop watching after you hear the prosecuting attorney's non-answer.)
